[05:51] <harriseldon> tuntun: did you check about:plugins in firefox location bar to ensure flash is installed?
[05:51] <watters> rama_su: http://prozilla.genesys.ro/
[05:51] <bluefoxx> harriseldon: so do i do rm <path to trash> or what? i have three copies of a 4 gig folder in there[the game kept crashing, i had to re-extract]
[05:51] <rama_su_> thanks watterz
[05:52] <drake2k> Anyone, anyone know how to turn on UDMA on my /dev/hdc (which I think is my dvd rom)
[05:52] <harriseldon> bluefoxx: that should work. Let me try with some files in my trash now ...
[05:52] <Pelo> tuntun, what kind of video ?
[05:52] <sudobash> bluefox rm -r is for recursive remove
[05:52] <sjovan> tuntun: try ---> apt-cache search flash | grep Adobe ---> then --> sudo apt-get install the-package-name-you-found-with-the-first-command
[05:52] <sbingner> drake2k, you can try hdparm
[05:52] <tuntun> harriseldon, its not registered in about:plugins
[05:52] <sbingner> drake2k, but if it's not on... it probably doesn't support it
[05:52] <harriseldon> bluefoxx: rm cleared my Trash
[05:53] <ivan> rama_su_: how to add key? signature
[05:53] <ToddEDM> where do programs get installed, if they are not in my home folder
[05:53] <tuntun> Pelo, youtube
[05:53] <Bjbbop_> pelo now i cannot even comeback to my original workplace
[05:53] <ToddEDM> anyone?
[05:53] <sudobash> if you have subdirs and files to delete
[05:53] <mc-george> Hello, every time I reboot, the wireless goes away, and only comes back if I unplug it, plug it back in, and reboot, this is with a trendnet tew-444ub wifi card
[05:53] <Bjbbop_> i have only the current one
[05:53] <harriseldon> tuntun: then flash is not installed correctly
[05:53] <Pelo> tuntun,  in the terminal   sudo apt-get install flashnonfree-plugin
[05:53] <rama_su_> ivan: not sure I didn'thave to do that to get it to install
[05:53] <Bjbbop_> pelo and nothing on it i used Alt+F2 to get this chat now
[05:53] <factotum> wow, thats bad, killed by falling rock on level 1 in nethack
[05:53] <matt_> is there a testing channel?
[05:53] <Pelo> tuntun, sorry  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:54] <drake2k> sbinger, thank you.  I typed hdparm -d /dev/hdc and it tells me it's off.  I'm not sure which option turns it on but i'm fumbling through the switches now
[05:54] <Pelo> Bjbbop_, crtl-alt-backspace
[05:54] <tuntun> sjovan:$ apt-cache search flash | grep Adobe
[05:54] <tuntun> flashplugin-nonfree - Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
[05:55] <sbingner> drake2k, -d 1 turns it on
[05:55] <rama_su_> waters: you use Prozilla for your download manager? How do you like it?
[05:55] <harriseldon> drake2k: there is a good guide here http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_hdparm_to_improve_IDE_device_performance
[05:55] <bluefoxx> harriseldon: kk, what command?
[05:55] <Pelo> tuntun, that's the plugin you need, those add stuff bar are for widows pacakges they never work in ubuntu
[05:55] <sjovan> tuntun: yes, and like many others have told. the packagename is ---> flashplugin-nonfree <--- so ---> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:55] <drake2k> sbingner, thanks, I'll check it out right now

[05:56] <sjovan> tuntun: copy what you did in the terminal and paste it to www.pastebin.com
[05:56] <draginxx> So, if I installed Automatix on my PC and then unistalled it...I'm officially done for and need to re-install ubuntu yah?
[05:56] <sjovan> tuntun: give me the url.
[05:56] <Pelo> tuntun, menu > system > admin > software surces ,   check every box on the 1st and 3rd tab, reload and then try the command again
[05:57] <Pelo> sjovan, he doesnt have all the repos eanbled that's all
[05:57] <sjovan> Pelo: ah, of course... why is it that way by default?
[05:57] <tuntun> sjovan, http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2008/04/introducing-google-earth-43.html
[05:57] <bluefoxx> harriseldon: kk, tyvm
[05:58] <zero88> Is there a way instead of using the grub password security feature to secure your computer at bootup?
[05:58] <Pelo> sjovan, the default install only constaint repos for packages made by canonical, the other stuff is non supported or commercial
[05:58] <zero88> Even stop access through a LIVECD
[05:58] <ZiggyFish_laptop> harriseldon: it fonts seem to be ArialMT, what package offers this font
[05:58] <Flannel> zero88: what sort of other methods are you looking for?
[05:58] <Flannel> zero88: that'd be a BIOS password
[05:58] <Pelo> zero88, some bios have passwords in them for boot
[05:59] <harriseldon> zero88 I have read about doing password encrypted partitions, but I have never tried it
[05:59] <Flannel> zero88: boot, or keep someone from modifying the bootup sequence (so you can force always booting from HDD)
[05:59] <zero88> ah
[05:59] <mc-george> harriseldon, when I type ndiswrapper-m I get module configuration already contains alias directive
[05:59] <zero88> but what if "I" needed to use the livecd for recovery?
[05:59] <Pelo> sjovan, and the default of ubuntu is only FOSS software as well
[05:59] <american> is it bad to use a adminstrator account for your day to day linux use?
[06:00] <amenado> yes
[06:00] <Flannel> zero88: Then you'd be out of luck.  You'd have to open up the box, and reset your BIOS with the jumper on the mobo
[06:00] <sjovan> tuntun: pelo told you what you had to do before you could install that package
[06:00] <prem> from which website can i get ubuntu themes
[06:00] <harriseldon> mc-george: sorry I am at a loss. I have not used ndiswrapper in a long time
[06:00] <Pelo> zero88, you'll give the bios password to start thecomp and then boot the live cd
[06:00] <mc-george> ok
[06:00] <Pelo> sjovan, the default install only constaint repos for packages made by canonical, the other stuff is non supported or commercial
[06:00] <zero88> ahhh
[06:00] <mc-george> Hello, every time I reboot, the wireless goes away, and only comes back if I unplug it, plug it back in, and reboot, this is with a trendnet tew-444ub wifi card
[06:00] <zero88> ok thanks yall
[06:00] <Pelo> tuntun, menu > system > admin > software surces ,   check every box on the 1st and 3rd tab, reload and then try the command again
[06:00] <Flannel> zero88: oh, right. You know the password, yeah.  You basically get prompted for a password to change the BIOS
[06:01] <Spade01> Can anyone point me to a resource or another IRC channel where I might learn how to take a valid key for a WMV file (that would allow me to play said WMV file, IF I were on Windows) and convert it into a hex SID key?
[06:01] <sjovan> Pelo: i c, but it's not good for newbies :)
[06:01] <prem> free ubuntu desktop themes website
[06:01] <Pelo> Flannel, many bios you can set the password for eitehr boot or security, security only protects the bios , boot is to boot
[06:01] <tuntun> Pelo, that seems a bit unsafe, on the first tab everything is selected except "source code"
[06:02] <prem> give me the website for additional ubuntu themes
[06:02] <Flannel> Pelo: right, it doesn't sound like he wants a boot password, just a BIOS password to change the bios
[06:02] <Pelo> sjovan, it's just a little annoying but it's a supportable possition
[06:02] <Jordan_U> prem, art.gnome.org
[06:02] <Pelo> tuntun, it is perfectly safe
[06:03] <Pelo> !theme > prem check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[06:03] <tuntun> on the third tab "updates" only "important security updates" is selected
[06:03] <raevol> hey guys, i'm having trouble getting my monitor to display in 75hz. i've done a whole modeline thing, and the control panel applet is useless, any suggestions?
[06:03] <Pelo> tuntun, check everybox in the top part ,
[06:04] <harriseldon> ZiggyFish_laptop: it seems like a know problem. you can try using a service like http://www.zamzar.com/ to convert the document to another format.
[06:04] <Ntemis> good morning
[06:05] <Ntemis> i have removed my nvidia card after i unistalled the drivers and now i cannot boot to x
[06:05] <LoLeN> aaaah i cant wait for the ubuntu release!!!
[06:05] <harriseldon> prem: I always check out www.gnome-look.org
[06:05] <Ntemis> what to do to fix that?
[06:05] <Pelo> raevol, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,  look for a line that states  horizsync,  adjsut the range to include the value for H on the lable at the back of your monitor
[06:06] <raevol> i've got it actually set to 75, but the monitor still only displays in 60
[06:06] <harriseldon> Ntemis: does this mean that you do not have the nvidia card installed at all? Do you have a different card installed?
[06:06] <raevol> the monitor goes from 60-85 or something, i set it manually when i used debian
[06:06] <ivan_> re hi
[06:07] <Pelo> Ntemis, in the recovery mode ,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ,   let it scan for you new card, if it doesnT' find it use the vesa driver,  leave all the other values on the defaulot unless you absolutely know better
[06:07] <ZiggyFish_laptop> harriseldon: how long does it take to convert?
[06:07] <american> i accidentally typed in the wrong username when i did a fresh install of ubuntu.  so i made a new one and deleted the old name
[06:07] <american> how do i get rid of the directory for the old name?
[06:07] <Pelo> raevol, look at the back of your monitor on the label to make sure and then edit xorg.conf like i told you
[06:07] <ivan_> rama_su_: i am following this introduction: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=584201 , but i can't get signature: wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/reacocard.asc
[06:07] <american> it says "error while deleting"  the folder .mozilla cannot be handled because you do not have permission to read it
[06:08] <harriseldon> ZiggyFish_laptop: I have never used the service. I just bookmarked it after hearing about it on LinuxActionShow podcast
[06:08] <raevol> k the label on the back of my monitor doesn't have those specs, let me google them
[06:08] <Ntemis> pelo why it doesnt pick by it self the vesa driver and afterward i can shange it back to my
[06:08] <Ntemis> wouldnt be better?
[06:09] <Pelo> Ntemis, no idea
[06:09] <harriseldon> american: are you deleting the folder as your current user or with sudo?
[06:09] <Pelo> Ntemis, probably boots faster can you imagein if it check for new hardware every boot ?
[06:09] <ZiggyFish_laptop> harriseldon: that didn't work ether
[06:09] <Bidget> how do I find out my ip address?
[06:09] <Ntemis> why windows can boot even if i dont remove the nvidia drivers?
[06:10] <ivan_> hi all, i am following this introduction: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=584201 , but i can't get signature: wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/reacocard.asc, what can i do?
[06:10] <harriseldon> ZiggyFish_laptop: I am sorry. I cannot think of anything else to try.
[06:10] <joshhunt> Im running ubuntu server, how can i install TLC. Im trying to compile eggdrop and it requires it...
[06:10] <Pelo> Ntemis, no idea ask in ##windows
[06:10] <american> i'm trying to delete it from within xwindows
[06:10] <Ntemis> :)
[06:10] <Bidget> how do I find out my ip address?
[06:10] <Pelo> Bidget, in terminal  type ifconfig
[06:10] <Bidget> thanks
[06:10] <yao_ziyua1> how do i clean up cache/temp files in (k)ubuntu?
[06:11] <harriseldon> Bidget or you can use system->administration->Network tools and choose the device under the devices tab
[06:11] <american> what's the sudo command i would use to delete the directory and it's children?
[06:11] <Pelo> yao why do you need to ?
[06:11] <Pelo> american, sudo rm -fr /path
[06:11] <SperMite> anyone have decent CCSM Profiles/Settings they could lend me?
[06:11] <drake2k> sbingner, thanks, for the link, I was able to try turning on UDMA but video is still choppy.  Audio seems fine.  I'm getting tired though so I think I'll try this again tmw
[06:11] <lqs> ubuntu checks for new hardwares every boot (by udev).
[06:12] <yao_ziyua1> Pelo: disk usage
[06:12] <abish> haha
[06:12] <american> thanks pelo
[06:12] <american> that worked beautifully
[06:12] <abish> i now using cdma wireless modem in ubuntu.. yahoo!
[06:12] <Pelo> yao_ziyua1, manualy  /var/cache/apt
[06:12] <abish> i love ubuntu..
[06:12] <abish> great!!!
[06:12] <yao_ziyua1> Pelo: = sudo apt clean?
[06:12] <drake2k> I love ubuntu too - especially with linuxmint
[06:13] <unikon> gah my software index is still broken even after i input <sudo apt-get install -f>  is there any other way?
[06:13] <yao_ziyua1> how do i let adept-manager get latest upstream packages instead of backports?
[06:13] <drake2k> g'night all
[06:13] <Pelo> yao_ziyua1, you can try sudo apt-get autoclean , but that will jsut get rid of leftover from removed packages
[06:13] <tuntun> firefox just crashed in and lost refused to load my last session >:O
[06:14] <yao_ziyua1> Pelo: give me a complete command line that cleans /var/cache/apt
[06:14] <Flannel> yao_ziyua1: sudo apt-get clean
[06:14] <yao_ziyua1> e...
[06:14] <joshhunt> Is tlc in one of the ubuntu repos?  I need it to compile eggdrop and it dosnt seem to be in my repos
[06:14] <Spade01> Can anyone point me to a resource or another IRC channel where I might learn how to take a valid key for a WMV file (that would allow me to play said WMV file, IF I were on Windows) and convert it into a hex SID key?
[06:15] <Pelo> yao_ziyua1, no I won'T just cd to it , ls to see the files and sudo rm them one by one if you know you donT' need them anymore
[06:15] <raevol> alright Pelo, got it edited, restart?
[06:15] <Flannel> Spade01: Try ##windows
[06:15] <Pelo> raevol,  ctrl alt backspace
[06:16] <bullgard4> !ops #ubuntu-de is abused.
[06:16] <american> how do i edit the grub so that i can choose which os is loaded by default?
[06:17] <harriseldon> american: /boot/grub/menu.lst (there is a default line -- it is 0 based)
[06:17] <tuntun> pelo, the number of updates just went from 47, to 188 :-\  ...I did the command again and it installed correctly but crashed firefox in the process. I dont really want to download a ~120MB update for OpenOffice, 'cause i dont really use it.
[06:17] <Pelo> american, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst  ,  toward thetop ther is a listing for which entry to boot,  the numbering starts with 0
[06:17] <raevol> Pelo: gnome seems to be saving the setting now ( had to set it to 52hz in the control panel applet to get it to 75hz) but gdm is still 60 hz, any way to fix that?
[06:17] <Flannel> american: change the "default" line (near the top) to a number to pick that entry, or change it to "saved" and then add "savedefault" after whichever one you want to be default.
[06:17] <joshhunt> anyone know where to install TLC from?
[06:17] <american> thanks all
[06:18] <Flannel> joshhunt: you mean TCL?
[06:18] <Pelo> tuntun, not sure , just do it , it will be done once and that wil be it
[06:18] <Pelo> raevol, not sure about the gdm sorry
[06:18] <raevol> k thanks
[06:18] <Psynaut> Hi all.  I am looking to start learning programming in linux on my ubuntu box and am wondering if anyone could offer some sites that they know with good tutorials for a beginner to get started on.
[06:19] <Pelo> ok 1am here I'M off to bed, g'night folks
[06:19] <harriseldon> goodnight Pelo
[06:19] <american> it looks like menu.1st is completely blank, but when i go to close it with gedit it asks whether i want to save changes
[06:19] <Flannel> Psynaut: Tht'd depend on the language, but you should probably ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, that'd be a better place
[06:19] <Flannel> american: .lst not 1st (LiST)
[06:19] <Pelo> american, Lst , not onest
[06:19] <Psynaut> ok will do Flannel thanks.

[06:36] <prem> i dont have such option
[06:36] <unikon> prem if your using 7.10 you should
[06:36] <prem> i have system-preferences - appearance
[06:36] <slowlearner> prem: right above that
[06:37] <unikon> prem then on the appearance tab look far right and youll see visual effects
[06:37] <RenaKunisaki> hello
[06:38] <prem> i see visual effects
[06:38] <RenaKunisaki> I just booted up the Xubuntu 7.10 live CD and the display is severely corrupted
[06:38] <RenaKunisaki> http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/2745/xubuntubq5.jpg (232kb)
[06:38] <RenaKunisaki> using a Radeon 9550
[06:38] <unikon> prem click on it
[06:38] <RenaKunisaki> it works but the cursor, background, and most widgets are all garbage
[06:38] <XTeLiS> weeeeeeee
[06:39] <MrGozInYah> ahhh, my better nick
[06:39] <RenaKunisaki> I tried the fglxr driver and it's just different garbage, no windows at all
[06:40] <RenaKunisaki> and this is right at startup, those windows in the corner aren't even there, it's part of the background
[06:40] <RenaKunisaki> if I restart X the whole system hangs, still seems to be responding (Ctrl+Alt+Delete makes it beep) but I can't even see a terminal
[06:42] <RenaKunisaki> this was all working fine in WinXP about an hour ago so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with it
[06:43] <Daisuke_Ido> what does the x server have to do with windows *at all*?
[06:44] <RenaKunisaki> I  mean since Windows worked I'm guessing the hardware is all fine
[06:46] <Daisuke_Ido> yeah, the hardware's fine, but you've stumbled across why ati is the bane of linux users everywhere :\
[06:46] <Daisuke_Ido> unfortunately, i know next to nothing about ati :\
[06:46] <Frogzoo> ati's getting better since amd bought them out
[06:47] <RenaKunisaki> I kinda got that idea but I've heard reports of it working
[06:47] <Daisuke_Ido> Frogzoo, getting, yes.  there, no.
[06:48] <Peddy> can someone please tell me exactly where a folder would be made if I did this:  mkdir -p $statedir
[06:48] <RenaKunisaki> quite the luck, this is the second video card I've had that didn't like Linux or vice-versa
[06:48] <jewjew> Anyone have any luck with the mac-style menu bar?
[06:49] <ay^> echo $statedir
[06:50] <Peddy> nothing appears?
[06:50] <Daisuke_Ido> jewjew, you talking about the gtk global menu hack?
[06:50] <jewjew> yeah
[06:51] <Daisuke_Ido> no idea...
[06:51] <Daisuke_Ido> i've heard reports of it working well in gutsy, but not hardy
[06:52] <Daisuke_Ido> but i use too many non-gtk apps that it's completely impractical
[06:52] <jewjew> Daisuke_Ido: alright.  I'm using gutsy right now, but I'll probably switch back to Debian soon.
[06:53] <Daisuke_Ido> that's like stepping back in time right there
[06:54] <jewjew> it's also a step up in performance without the need for a strip down
[06:54] <RenaKunisaki> woah hey
[06:54] <Daisuke_Ido> if you're using a low-end machine, definitely go debian
[06:54] <RenaKunisaki> I restarted X again and the login screen showed up almost perfect except the text was misplaced
[06:56] <Andrew``> can anyone tell me when the next release of ubuntu is due out?
[06:56] <jewjew> just a performance freak.  I'm liking what I get from FreeBSD as well.

[07:10] <IcemanV9> Zxcvb: yes
[07:10] <Bidget> hti_pro, wonderfully
[07:10] <hti_pro> Bidget: no sh$^, I am gonna have to try it.  Did you have to do any special tweaking of wine
[07:10] <Bidget> hti_pro, it was running at like 20fps until I found out I had to run it in directx 8
[07:10] <Bidget> and then bam like 90fps
[07:11] <Bidget> runs great
[07:11] <user1542> heymr: look at wii-Black, but its a matter of taste
[07:11] <hti_pro> Bidget: hell yeah, what kind of hardware are you running
[07:11] <IcemanV9> heymr: check out gnome-look.org for the dark theme
[07:11] <hti_pro> hey guys need help with a script, I need a bash script to remove an entry in a dhcpd.conf file identified by the hostname
[07:11] <Bidget> 8800gt, athlon x2 5000+ black edition, 2gb ocz pc2-6400
[07:12] <bluefoxx> what would i use to view more detailed information about my graphocs card than lspci, nvclock_gtk or nvidia-settings?
[07:12] <hti_pro> Bidget: how did it compare to running on XP, or have you ran it on XP
[07:12] <Bidget> hti_pro, definitely not as good as xp
[07:12] <Bidget> hti_pro, but still great
[07:13] <Bidget> hti_pro, directx 8 doesn't look as good, and I couldnt use aa or af
[07:13] <hti_pro> Bidget: I have a bit less hardware,  P4 celeron 2GHz 768MB Ram
[07:13] <james__> connect #ubuntu-au
[07:13] <Bidget> I think you'd probably be ok though you might as well give it a shot
[07:13] <emil17> irc://irc.rizon.net/mob
[07:13] <hti_pro> Bidget: i should probably wait till I can upgrade a little bit
[07:13] <Bidget> if you are feeling like installing it I can tell you what parameters to use or something and it should run, although it seems like nothing is as easy as it sounds with linux
[07:13] <hti_pro> Bidget: I will probably try it out
[07:13] <hti_pro> Bidget: nothing to lose
[07:14] <heymr> what happened to the search box on gnome-look.org?
[07:14] <Bidget> hti_pro, exactly :D
[07:14] <hti_pro> Bidget: Alright, I'm not gonna take it on right now, but I got you on my buddy list so I will probably hit you up sometime
[07:14] <user1542> heymr: use google then, there are plenty of other websites for
[07:15] <hti_pro> anyone good with bash scripting
[07:15] <Bidget> hti_pro, cool
[07:15] <user1542> #bash?
[07:15] <bluefoxx> anyone? i want to view my GPU's capabilities and other information
[07:15] <IcemanV9> heymr: in the content panel (top left)
[07:15] <Bidget> bluefoxx, just google your gpu
[07:16] <Bidget> bluefoxx, I bet you will find like 80 hardware review websites Im not even kidding
[07:17] <heymr> IcemanV9: thank you!! Wow... I was looking all over for it
[07:18] <Snark_> hi!
[07:18] <RenaKunisaki> hi
[07:18] <bluefoxx> Bidget: been there, done that. i dont want the standard wikipedia info or a review, i want capabilities, core clock speed, extended hardware information, basically the equivilant of my cpuid info but for my nvidia[i just spent the last 3 hours sifting through wiki/google junk about it] i plan to compair it to the specs for the new card im getting
[07:18] <IcemanV9> heymr: hope you find the dark theme that you like. :)
[07:18] <Bidget> bluefoxx, what is your gpu?
[07:18] <WGGMk> EXCLUDING Hardy Heron, what would be considered the most stable Ubuntu release available? Not the most stabe/bleeding edge... Just the most stable overall?
[07:18] <heymr> IcemanV9: this might work: http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=76312&file1=76312-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=DarkTheme
[07:19] <IcemanV9> bluefoxx: try tom's hardware site
[07:19] <hti_pro> WGGMK: that would be Gutsy Gibbon
[07:19] <Flannel> WGGMk: Hardy is not stable.  Gutsy is stable.  But, the most stable would be Dapper, since its been out since June of 06
[07:19] <McLovin> I am planning on installing Ubuntu over the weekend (a new user making a switch), but should I wait for the new release?
[07:19] <bazhang> WGGMk: that really depends; some have found gutsy to be so others feisty or even dapper
[07:19] <bluefoxx> Bidget: BFG tech PCI nvidia 6200 OC with 256 MB RAM
[07:19] <Bidget> bluefoxx, there is a program called gpuid that will tell you everything, it is only for windows as far as I know though so if you have a dualboot you could try that
[07:19] <IcemanV9> heymr: not bad
[07:19] <Bidget> bluefoxx, and what are you planning on buying?
[07:19] <Flannel> WGGMk: Not Edgy, since that'll be reaching EOL soon.
[07:19] <hti_pro> WGGMK: if you want the latest updates just enable the gutsy-backports, they are not "stable" but are tested and generally known to work
[07:19] <heymr> IcemanV9: I'll still look around for murrina one...
[07:20] <WGGMk> Flannel: well I said excluding hardy heron... So Dapper then? hti_pro: I have no interest in backports... Im just looking for the most stable release by it self for a project
[07:20] <IcemanV9> WGGMk: LTS version would be the most stable. that would be dapper.
[07:21] <hti_pro> anyone good with awk in here
[07:21] <WGGMk> IcemanV9, Flannel: How does Dapper compare to the most stable release of Debian? In terms of stability.... Keep in mind im EXCLUDING Hardy Heron from this...
[07:22] <bluefoxx> Bidget: no dual boot here, built a seperate rig just for windows games that dont work in WINE[win98 box] and as for the new card, its an asus PCI-E nvidia 8600GT, paying $122 CDN[inc tax] for it, i think its a good price
[07:22] <user1542> sounds like a question for #awk then :-)
[07:22] <hti_pro> WGGMk: what kind of project are you taking on
[07:22] <Flannel> WGGMk: Hardy is *not* stable, its still Beta software.  and, what do you mean by compare?
[07:22] <Bidget> bluefoxx, why do you even need to compare??? they are not even in the same ballpark man
[07:22] <tengulre> when I installed a new ubuntu-desktop env, I stopped on search apt source.. how to skiping it?
[07:22] <bazhang> McLovin: you might want to try the latest stable release (gutsy) as there are no guarantees that Hardy will be solid on day one
[07:22] <hti_pro> user1542: thanks
[07:22] <WGGMk> Flannel: I keep telling you im EXCLUDING Hardy from these comparisons
[07:23] <WGGMk> hti_pro: A minor clustering project
[07:23] <Bidget> bluefoxx, I upgraded from a 6600gt to an 8800gt and the difference is just not even funny man... also, I would recommend buying an evga card because their warranty isnt voided by overclocking
[07:23] <user1542> hti_pro: keep in mind, people (most) are actually in bed..., not all of them, but many...
[07:23] <Flannel> WGGMk: Yes, but why do you need to?  It's not stable, it's development software, instability goes without saying.
[07:23] <Bidget> bluefoxx, you can't compare clock speeds because the way they are built is completely different, the memory on them isnt the same, etc.
[07:23] <Snark_> Hey, guys! In Heron release I found they goin to use kernel 2.6.24 . However, latest one is 2.6.25 and the one before it is <IP_ADDRESS>. Do you have any idea what this mean?
[07:23] <WGGMk> Flannel: why do I need to exclude it? So people dont say "well hardy heron WILL be the next most stable"
[07:23] <IcemanV9> WGGMk: i am not familiar with Debian, so i cannot say about it. dapper is very stable. i have it for 2 yrs. no problem whatsoever.
[07:23] <hti_pro> WGGMk: I find pure debian to be much more reliable than ubuntu and much more efficient especially for servers
[07:24] <Metallica> hello
[07:24] <bluefoxx> Bidget: i want to explain to my grandfather why i need to upgrade, and he wants to know the difference. as for why its an asus its what my dealer can get me, and i refues to go to a corperate stiore[then they add in extra fees and i pay around $200, i checked allready]
[07:24] <bazhang> Snark_: you are misinformed and hardy discussion is in #ubuntu+1 thanks
[07:24] <WGGMk> hit_pro, IcemanV9, Flannel: So Debian > Ubuntu in terms of balls to the walls stability (NOT features)
[07:24] <Metallica> can somebody tell me a correct procedure to install latest monodevelop on ubuntu
[07:24] <hti_pro> WGGMk: I am not sure I would use ubuntu for such a project, it has more overhead, and is directed more for ease of use than it is for efficiency
[07:24] <Metallica> please
[07:25] <Jordan_U> WGGMk, Yes
[07:25] <Metallica> thanx in advance
[07:25] <hti_pro> WGGMk: IMOH, absolutely
[07:25] <Snark_> bazhang: thanx
[07:25] <bazhang> WGGMk: debian has a release cycle of years
[07:25] <Metallica> can somebody tell me a correct procedure to install latest monodevelop on ubuntu 7.10
[07:25] <WGGMk> Its getting hard to copy everyone's name in my messages
[07:25] <Bidget> bluefoxx, I see..... well... go here.... http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgr62256ocp.aspx and compare it to http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=24635&vpn=EN8600GT%20SILENT%2FHTDP%2F256M&manufacture=ASUS
[07:26] <Jordan_U> WGGMk, Debian stable is about as good as it gets, if you do encounter bugs they will almost certainly be known work-arounds
[07:26] <WGGMk> I plan on using Ubuntu (the most stable release) for my head node or Overhead PC
[07:26] <Flannel> WGGMk: Not necessarily.  Etch was released only a year ago, Dapper has been out for almost two.  I would say Dapper is more stable than Etch is.
[07:26] <bazhang> best to use tab completion WGGMk
[07:26] <Peddy> can someone please tell me how to apply .patch files to the Linux source?
[07:26] <zero> Hey, im trying to install a file and it says /home/zero (my login name) doesnt belong to me
[07:26] <Metallica> hello....
[07:26] <LSD|Ninja> !hardy
[07:26] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[07:26] <bluefoxx> Bidget: thanks
[07:26] <WGGMk> bazhang: please explain cause im a freaking IRC n00b.. using Pidgin btw
[07:26] <Metallica> somebody plz help me....thanx
[07:26] <Jordan_U> Flannel, Really? For desktop tasks or server tasks?
[07:26] <hti_pro> WGGMk: debian is a very well trusted server distro, very reliable, and widely used in professional environments, at least where people aren't restricted to RHEL due to proprietary drivers, I swear by debian
[07:27] <zero> can anyone help with my permissions issue?
[07:27] <Bidget> bluefoxx, no problem, but remember that you can't just compare in terms of mhz because the memory bus sizes will most likely be different... its just things like that. but if you are able to get gpuid, it will tell you everything and you can make a better comparison, look for things like memory bandwidth, pixel fillrate, texture fillrate
[07:27] <Jordan_U> !ask | zero
[07:27] <ubotu> zero: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[07:27] <Flannel> Jordan_U: What?  Etch was released in April 2007, that's debian "stable", Dapper in 2006.  But this is getting offtopic, we may want to move this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:27] <bazhang> WGGMk: not sure about pidgin, but most irc clients allow you to type three or so letters then hit tab key to complete the name
[07:28] <WGGMk> bazhang: f'n sweet
[07:28] <stintage> 7 more days
[07:28] <kindofabuzz> 2 more days. happy 420!
[07:28] <Peddy> for some reason, programs often become temporarily unresponsive and Flash content skips and lags. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?
[07:28] <stintage> kindofabuzz
[07:28] <hti_pro> bazhang: pidgin allows tab completion
[07:29] <stintage> how very stereotypical
[07:29] <bazhang> Peddy: too many tabs open in ff perhaps or an overabundance of extensions in ff
[07:29] <RenaKunisaki> so about how big a partition does Ubuntu need?
[07:29] <kindofabuzz> huh?
[07:29] <RenaKunisaki> 7GB?
[07:29] <stintage> all the cool kids celebrate it on the 21st
[07:29] <MrGozInYah> wow
[07:29] <bazhang> RenaKunisaki: that will do sure
[07:29] <IcemanV9> Peddy: run 'top' in the terminal and see what's going on
[07:29] <RenaKunisaki> thanks
[07:29] <MrGozInYah> i think i might give this PCBSD a try
[07:29] <hti_pro> RenaKunisaki: I wouldnt use just one partition
[07:29] <Peddy> haha, my birthday is always on an Ubuntu release
[07:29] <MrGozInYah> it looks NICE
[07:29] <kindofabuzz> lol
[07:30] <Peddy> IcemanV9: trying, thanks
[07:30] <stintage> any fans of skyos
[07:30] <kindofabuzz> i celebrate it everyday
[07:30] <stintage> ?
[07:30] <stintage> true dat
[07:30] <RenaKunisaki> hti_pro, why not?
[07:30] <WGGMk> bazhang: hti_pro: Flannel: Jordan_U: IcemanV9: Ive reach a point where my questions are suited for this channel, so Ill conclude with one last question. In comparison to other distrobutions, how does Debian hold up in stability for servers ONLY
[07:30] <Metallica> "MONODEVELOP"
[07:30] <bazhang> MrGozInYah: you can join their channel and give them the good news ;]
[07:30] <WGGMk> ERR NOT SUITED
[07:30] <hti_pro> 7GB is sufficient for general desktop though, if you have games or larger progsi would allocate more
[07:30] <Peddy> IcemanV9: Xorg is using 26% CPU, is this normal?
[07:30] <tuntun> (quick Q&A not in #wine) I was looking on the wine site but there aren't really an instructions on how to install a prog using an exe other than "~$wine installer.exe"
[07:30] <IcemanV9> WGGMk: in server only, very good in term of stability
[07:30] <stintage> ICEWM LIVES ON
[07:30] <RenaKunisaki> hti_pro, I'm going to have a ~200GB partition for general file storage, 7GB just for the OS
[07:31] <hti_pro> RenaKunisaki: if your /var partition fills up with logs due to a failure your whole system goes down, or /home, or /usr
[07:31] <kindofabuzz> tha's all you do tuntun
[07:31] <asdrubal> Do you guys know how to make a dvd out of a .ac3 file and a .m2v file ?
[07:31] <metbsd> is ubuntu good for server?
[07:31] <zcat[1]> I just doubleclick the exe .. I set properties to open exe's in wine
[07:31] <stintage> metbsd
[07:31] <stintage> i would try a bsd for server use
[07:31] <metbsd> yes
[07:31] <bazhang> metbsd it has commercial support so it is more often picked for that yes
[07:31] <metbsd> why
[07:31] <hti_pro> WGGMk: i must agree with IcemanV9
[07:31] <IcemanV9> Peddy: hm. that's bit high. mine is hovering around 1-3%
[07:32] <MrGozInYah> sorry
[07:32] <MrGozInYah> im just lookin at all avenues
[07:32] <VA_Avatar> sup
[07:32] <MrGozInYah> im still stuck on ubuntu
[07:32] <stintage> stuck?
[07:32] <MrGozInYah> im not leavin just yet...
[07:32] <Peddy> IcemanV9: Its gone down to 6, and Firefox is 11%? Is that high? I forgot to mention that Pidgin also becomes unresponsive
[07:33] <metbsd> i heard there's problem to install mplayer on ubuntu
[07:33] <hti_pro> RenaKunisaki: you may go quite a while without problems like this, but rest assured one day you will understand first hand why it is important to have seperate partitions for at least /var /usr /home /boot and /
[07:33] <tuntun> kindofabuzz, i did  that command  six times, exactly the same, after you said that, it started to work o_O
[07:33] <bazhang> metbsd not so
[07:33] <kindofabuzz> i'm magic
[07:33] <RenaKunisaki> you mean one for each or one for / and one for the others?
[07:33] <kindofabuzz> tuntun, you can do winecfg for all your config needs
[07:34] <stintage> i need a joint
[07:34] <stintage> goodbye
[07:34] <metbsd> i use redhat
[07:34] <metbsd> and am liking it
[07:34] <stintage> i use slackware
[07:34] <tuntun> kindofabuzz, oh, there was an extra space on the end of the command stopping it from working -_-
[07:34] <kindofabuzz> ubuntu to rule them all
[07:34] <bazhang> hmm thought this was #ubuntu ; must have the wrong channel
[07:34] <stintage> skyos to rule them all
[07:34] <metbsd> redhat is #1 linux in the world
[07:34] <hti_pro> RenaKunisaki: It is a very good idea to make them all seperate
[07:34] <Fa> i use ubuntu with kde lol
[07:35] <Figuero> Hi
[07:35] <kindofabuzz> metbsd, according to ?
[07:35] <XTeLiS> ;p
[07:35] <Fa> redhat is only good for server not desktop
[07:35] <Fa> and developers
[07:35] <metbsd> why redhat not good for desktop
[07:35] <hti_pro> RenaKunisaki: check out this link for more info http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/
[07:35] <stintage> >red hat is only good for nothing
[07:35] <kindofabuzz> redhat announced they will no longer work on the desktop
[07:35] <stintage> fixed
[07:36] <kindofabuzz> they said it's too hard
[07:36] <bazhang> metbsd this is offtopic thanks
[07:36] <Fa> personally freebsd is better for servers
[07:36] <RenaKunisaki> thanks
[07:36] <Figuero> its true
[07:36] <stintage> habbo.com
[07:36] <Fa> they did?
[07:36] <metbsd> freebsd sucks
[07:36] <kindofabuzz> yup
[07:36] <Fa> not for servers
[07:36] <stintage> favorite distros everyone
[07:36] <bazhang> !ot
[07:36] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:36] <Fa> ubuntu
[07:36] <IcemanV9> Peddy: yes, firefox is high as usual. pidgin should be low as 1-3%
[07:37] <gregory> !best | stintage
[07:37] <ubotu> stintage: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[07:37] <Leeuw> RenaKunisaki: also check: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/44468-red-hat-linux-partition-size-ratios-server-installation.html and http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/  , the last one is very comprehensive, lotsa good info !

[07:37] <stintage> exit
[07:37] <stintage> damn
[07:37] <stintage> not a command line
[07:38] <Bidget> hey can anyone tell me why when I use ctrl+f (I'm trying to search for text in firefox) it will open up a terminal window instead
[07:38] <Bidget> Im almost positive I was using the ctrl+f search function like an hour ago and now its not working
[07:39] <RenaKunisaki> Bidget, I can tell you that just typing / is an easier way to search in Firefox :-p
[07:39] <Bidget> o rly...
[07:39] <Leeuw> Bidget: because it means ctrl-f'ed ?
[07:39] <abhi_> hi i noticed that someone can eject a cd from my drive using the eject button even after i lock my computer. i don't want this to happen. how do i stop it?
[07:40] <hti_pro> RenaKunisaki: This is what i use for my ubuntu setups,  / 2-4GB, /var 2-4GB /usr 5-8GB(depending on what your putting on it - this is where your programs go), /boot 100-200MB, swap should be equal or double your ram
[07:40] <VA_Avatar> glue your drive shut :P
[07:40] <IcemanV9> abhi_: you can't. :/
[07:40] <RenaKunisaki> ok thanks again
[07:40] <hti_pro> RenaKunisaki: depending on what your doing as I said 7GB could be enough, its ultimately up to you
[07:40] <sbingner> sure you can, if the drive is locked it won't eject... but they can still use a paper clip
[07:40] <abhi_> IcemanV9 VA_Avatar: but SuSE doesn't allow u to do remove the cd until u explicitly unmount it
[07:41] <IcemanV9> abhi_: i even can eject the CD when it is power down.
[07:41] <Fa> can't stand suse
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> Fa, http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/08/04/17/1334251.shtml
[07:41] <abhi_> sbingner: ok yea excluding that. i don't want someone to eject it when the machine is on. i don't want a no-brainer to be able to take a cd
[07:41] <Peddy> if I download the package 'linux source', where does the source code appear?
[07:41] <abhi_> IcemanV9: yes using a paper clip. excluding that method. i don't want it to be easy
[07:42] <Leeuw> RenaKunisaki: yeah, like hti uses I do to, works fine; consider seperate home though (the 200 Gig you mentioned would be great ?); usr somewhat larger if you want lots an lotsa progs (I use 12 G)
[07:42] <RenaKunisaki> yeah that sounds like about what I'll do
[07:42] <hti_pro> thank you Leeuw: I forgot /home, I generally use whatever is left
[07:43] <IcemanV9> abhi_: is there a reason why you want to leave CD in? i believe you can adjust the permission of CD drive thru system > admin > users and group
[07:43] <sbingner> abhi_, I suspect if you manually mount it somewhere it'll work... it's probably the way nautilus handles it that permits ejection...
[07:43] <sbingner> abhi_, you'd look for how ubuntu overcomes the not being able to eject... thay may tell you how to disable it ;)
[07:44] <VA_Avatar> can someone please see if http://ogam3r.org/ is up? I cant get to it =S
[07:44] <RenaKunisaki> abhi_, maybe you should just make an image of the disc instead
[07:45] <pwndNoobFerShur> .
[07:45] <Leeuw> hti_pro: me too, have lotsa dif parts, but for a simple sys using leftovers for home is best bet, I think; since everything tends to end up there anyway if you're not a browsing typpe; most ' normal users'  aren't ; xperience in PC-center learns most people don't even remember where they stored something, they just asume it's ' in the computer'  (meaning documents ion windoze, home in linux)
[07:45] <RenaKunisaki> VA_Avatar: blank page
[07:45] <VA_Avatar> RenaKunisaki: thanks
[07:46] <tuntun> I use notepad++ on windows, It opens anything, even binary files, how can I get gedit to do that without saying: "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.". Or what text editor will?
[07:46] <abhi_> RenaKunisaki sbingner IcemanV9: my point is that suppose you lock ur session and u leave a cd in the drive, some joe shouldn't be able to eject it by just pressing the eject button.
[07:46] <sbingner> abhi_, lol
[07:46] <hti_pro> Leeuw: I hate the Documents folder
[07:46] <RenaKunisaki> makes sense
[07:46] <sbingner> there is no other US that does that
[07:46] <sbingner> s/US/OS/
[07:46] <bazhang> abhi_: make an image of it as RenaKunisaki suggested, mount the iso when you need it problem solved
[07:47] <Theo__> how do i start a game on a server and make it continue after i disconnect from the server?
[07:47] <abhi_> sbingner: then how can u claim that u locked a computer.
[07:47] <Leeuw> hti_pro: oh yeah, you said it; especially since it makes people non-aware of their hard-disk; if last file was stored somewhere dif' rent, they' re lost
[07:47] <magnetron> hti_pro: then just delete the documents folder
[07:47] <abhi_> bazhang: what if i don't have time to make an image? i shouldn't be allowed to eject it so simply.
[07:47] <magnetron> Theo__: you could use the "screen" command
[07:47] <hti_pro> magnetron: i did one better, I deleted windows
[07:47] <Leeuw> hti_pro: I use dif drives for docs and stuff; makes more sense
[07:48] <sbingner> abhi_, you didn't lock the computer... that would involve putting a big box around it with a mechanical lock
[07:48] <bazhang> abhi_: you have been given some options; why not choose the best one for you and solve it
[07:48] <sbingner> abhi_, you locked your SESSION
[07:48] <Theo__> how do i do that?
[07:48] <Leeuw> have t' go !   bye guys 'n' dolls !
[07:48] <ganteng> i hate my computer....it very dificult opereted
[07:48] <tuntun> I use notepad++ on windows, It opens anything, even binary files, how can I get gedit to do that? Or what text editor will?
[07:48] <hti_pro> ls
[07:48] <abhi_> sbingner: yes that's what i meant locked my session
[07:48] <hti_pro> sorry wrong window :)
[07:48] <sbingner> abhi_, the hardwars is not in any way part of your session
[07:49] <sbingner> *hardware
[07:49] <RenaKunisaki> Error 42: not a terminal :-p
[07:49] <kindofabuzz> tuntun, the source is available for notepad++, just compile it yourself
[07:49] <sbingner> abhi, they can also hit the power button on the front, or pull the power cord in the back...
[07:49] <abhi_> sbingner: hmmmm...
[07:49] <Theo__> how do i start a game on a server and make it continue after i disconnect from the server?
[07:49] <abhi_> sbinger: ur right :) it doesn't matter
[07:49] <bazhang> this sounds more and more like a hardware discussion
[07:49] <sbingner> abhi_, hehe
[07:50] <IcemanV9> Theo__: use nohup command
[07:50] <tuntun> kindofabuzz, thats a little beyond me, and i think there would already be a native app somewhere.
[07:50] <magnetron> tuntun: If you are looking for something to edit your binary files, there are several tools at your hands. GHex is one of them
[07:50] <abhi_> sbingner: i was using SuSE and it didn't allow me to remove cds so easily. i had to unmount it and then it allowed me to eject. i guess Ubuntu is for Humans. most people wouldn't get the unmounting bit
[07:50] <Theo__> could you please explain?
[07:50] <magnetron> !who | Theo__
[07:51] <ubotu> Theo__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[07:51] <kindofabuzz> tuntun, you might as well start sometime =)
[07:51] <sbingner> abhi_, that's right... but if you wanted to avoid that you can find how nautilus avoided locking the cdrom drive... and switch it back
[07:51] <kindofabuzz> not hard
[07:51] <IcemanV9> Theo__: nohup <game> &
[07:51] <kindofabuzz> usually just ./configure, make, make install
[07:51] <sbingner> abhi_, but if the cdrom was in and unmounted... you would be in the same place ;0
[07:51] <abhi_> sbingner: correct
[07:51] <tuntun> kindofabuzz, ok, well see my second reason :)
[07:51] <Daisuke_Ido> abhi_, i switched my fiancee and the only thing i had to drill into her was that she has to unmount her usb flash drives before pulling them
[07:51] <magnetron> kindofabuzz: don't mock his support request please
[07:52] <doom__> good morning mates
[07:52] <_Synthetic_> morning
[07:52] <kindofabuzz> magnetron, huh? i didn't. i just told him how to compile something, that's more support than telling him apps that do it.
[07:53] <Daisuke_Ido> and i know i've done my job correctly because we were at school and she had to print something out... after she finished she was looking for the unmount command in windows...
[07:53] <Bidget> alright guys Ive found a plugin for xmms for the g15 keyboard (YES) and I'm reading through the readme and it says first I must compile it, then install it
[07:53] <Achoth> What would I write to remove the entire X-server from Ubuntu?
[07:53] <Bidget> BUT
[07:53] <Daisuke_Ido> Achoth, tired of these fancy new GUIs?
[07:53] <bazhang> Achoth: you want a headless server?
[07:53] <magnetron> kindofabuzz: no, you told him to patch the app, and then compile it, just because it didn't behave like he wanted to. "write your own editor" isn't really a supportive answer
[07:54] <Bidget> it says I have to do ./configure && make (to compile) then make install to install (which I get), but when I try the ./configure && make, I get the error "./configure: No such file or directory"
[07:54] <Achoth> Daisuke_Ido: That too, but now it's for a server
[07:54] <bazhang> magnetron: he said to compile notepad++ not write a new one
[07:54] <Achoth> bazhang: Yep
[07:54] <Jordan_U> abhi_, Not sure if this is is the same feature ( I actually suspect it's not, but you decide if it's worth trying ) but to turn off "auto-eject mode" run "eject -a off"
[07:54] <jussi01> Bidget: are you in the correct directory?
[07:54] <Bidget> yeah
[07:54] <sbingner> Jordan_U, it's not ;)
[07:55] <kindofabuzz> magnetron, you have no idea what i was talking about do you?  patch the app? lol
[07:55] <Bidget> jussi01, I'm in the folder that I untarred but I don't understand why it isnt working
[07:55] <bazhang> Achoth: is this system already installed? if not you could get the minimal (9MB) iso and install only the very bare bones that you want or need
[07:55] <Jordan_U> sbingner, :(
[07:55] <IcemanV9> Bidget: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[07:55] <kindofabuzz> and you didn't read his request either
[07:55] <Bidget> IcemanV9, what will that do??
[07:55] <Daisuke_Ido> This project, based on the Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component), written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL <- yeah, that's gonna be SO easy to just "configure, make, make install"
[07:55] <IcemanV9> Bidget: the stuff you need to compile app
[07:56] <Bidget> oh
[07:56] <tuntun> magnetron, he said to compile it, I understood what he meant. I replied that I was a little beyond my ability at the moment, and I prefer to find something that is already up and running on linux.
[07:56] <Bidget> I thought I could just compile it without needing anything else lol woops
[07:56] <Achoth> bazhang: Ubuntu is already installed and configured, my co-workers insisted we used Ubuntu with GUI because CLI is too "hard" :/
[07:56] <kindofabuzz> tuntun, see you understood but it was way over magnetron's head
[07:57] <Bidget> IcemanV9, I'm still getting the error
[07:57] <bazhang> Achoth: aha; well you can still bring it back to that state, just a bit more work
[07:57] <Jordan_U> Daisuke_Ido, There are native linux editors which use Scintilla
[07:57] <bazhang> kindofabuzz: please let it go
[07:57] <kindofabuzz> tuntun, i was just saying compiling stuff isn't hard.  there should be a readme in the source.  and like i said, usually just 3 steps
[07:57] <Flannel> Daisuke_Ido: SCiTE
[07:57] <IcemanV9> Bidget: boot up another terminal and try again
[07:58] <Bidget> IcemanV9, same error
[07:58] <Flannel> oh, Bidget, try SciTE instead
[07:58] <Bidget> whats that flannel?
[07:58] <bazhang> !info scite
[07:58] <ubotu> scite (source: scite): Lightweight GTK-based Programming Editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.71-1 (gutsy), package size 782 kB, installed size 1960 kB
[07:58] <magnetron> tuntun: as i said, if you want a native app that can edit binary files, try a hex editor like ghex
[07:58] <Daisuke_Ido> i was more talking about the win32 api, wouldn't it have to be patched or at least compiled against wine?
[07:59] <IcemanV9> Bidget: can you tell me what was the error? ... if it's too long, just pastebin plse
[07:59] <Flannel> Bidget: Its the Scintilla Text Editor, proof of concept (but completely functional) by the same people who made Schintilla
[07:59] <Bidget> ok whoa whoa whoa how did we go from installing a plugin to programming Im not sure I follow exactly what is happening here...
[07:59] <magnetron> tuntun: some like kate too, but i never tried it
[07:59] <MrMist> Any alltary gurus here? I can't get alltray to work properly in the new ubuntu beta
[07:59] <Daisuke_Ido> Flannel, wrong user
[07:59] <Bidget> umm yeah IcemanV9 I type ./configure && make and it says "./configure: no such file or directory"
[07:59] <marvxxx> isnt there a cdupgrade script on the beta iso images?
[07:59] <Flannel> Bidget, Daisuke_Ido, sorry.  Ignore me.  SciTE is still a good native Scintilla editor.
[07:59] <Daisuke_Ido> should have gone toward tuntun
[07:59] <usrl> Alright; long story short, I had an accident while trying to repartition my drive. Luckily, no data was lost, but the / partition thought that it was completely full. I was able to delete some spare crap so I have a bit of wiggle room; but is there any way to fix it so that it recognizes how much space is actually being used?
[07:59] <Bidget> ehhh ok flannel :)
[07:59] <Bidget> hahaha
[08:00] <bazhang> MrMist: come back in six days or go to #ubuntu+1 today thanks ;]
[08:00] <semsem> hello everyone, how to play rm and ram media on ubuntu?
[08:00] <IcemanV9> hm. didn't know there is SciTE in repo. sweet.
[08:00] <MrMist> bazhang: I AM on ubuntu+1, but no one seems to care :S
[08:00] <Achoth_> bazhang: That's my plan :) so is there any commands for removing the X-server (and preferably any other packages that will only pose a security threat)?
[08:00] <jarrettgreen> When new files are created in apache, is there a default permissions set for them?
[08:01] <jarrettgreen> or is it based on the user who made them?
[08:01] <bazhang> MrMist: aha well not sure the 'care' level is that high here atm ;]
[08:01] <Daisuke_Ido> there's a care level?
[08:01] <tuntun> the notepad++ wikipedia entry said vaguely said its "based on the Scintilla editor component"
[08:01] <Daisuke_Ido> tuntun, welcome back
[08:01] <Daisuke_Ido> tuntun, look for scite in the repos
[08:01] <IcemanV9> Bidget: just issue one command at a time: ./configure
[08:02] <Daisuke_Ido> which is also based on the scintilla editor component
[08:02] <Bidget> IcemanV9, k
[08:02] <tuntun> ...but Its not updated as often?
[08:02] <Bidget> IcemanV9, same error
[08:02] <bazhang> Achoth_: I am guessing you mean dont pose a security risk ;]  not sure of this as I generally go the other direction
[08:02] <Bidget> IcemanV9, ok what do you think is easier, compiling this stupid thing, or is there some way I can figure out what ubuntu detects my media keys as so I can just use xbindkeys to bind them to play/pause etc.
[08:02] <Daisuke_Ido> how often does a *text editor* need to be updated?
[08:02] <IcemanV9> Bidget: ?? is there a file in that directory? ha
[08:02] <slowlearner> jarrettgreen: based on the user
[08:02] <semsem> hey guys how to play rm and ram media on ubuntu?
[08:02] <Daisuke_Ido> i mean... seriously
[08:02] <Flannel> tuntun: The newest versions of software aren't always the best.
[08:02] <MrMist> bazhang: Hehe... yeah, I guess. But people WILL be caring about it when the new ubuntu comes out, if they're interested in having thunderbird in the tray ;)
[08:03] <bazhang> semsem: well generally realplayer will do that
[08:03] <IcemanV9> Bidget: or find it in repo
[08:03] <Bidget> IcemanV9, it's not in there
[08:03] <jarrettgreen> slowlearner - hmmm. I guess I need to set up my webdav user to different permissions then. I can't write files. How can I check what the default permissions for a user are?
[08:03] <bazhang> MrMist: too true; I was kind of referring the generally late hour in most places in the world more than anything ;]
[08:04] <semsem> well thx I'll try the repo but does real player work in ubuntu?
[08:04] <IcemanV9> Bidget: maybe that is the problem. remove that directory and untar again. check if there is a file
[08:04] <bazhang> semsem not in the repo you have to get it from real website, and yes it works fine
[08:05] <Bidget> IcemanV9, what file am I looking for exactly
[08:05] <MrMist> bazhang: Hehehe... enerally late hour? That kinda' depends where you are, right? In most of europe, it's around 9am now ;)
[08:05] <semsem> bazhang thx :)
[08:05] <dfgas> anyone from guam here?
[08:05] <bullgard4> In Tracker I am searching for documents containing the search word 'tracker'. Why does Tracker output documents which contain the words 'track' or 'tracks'?
[08:05] <MrMist> Norway here
[08:05] <tuntun> I can try SciTE
[08:05] <IcemanV9> Bidget: configure
[08:05] <bazhang> MrMist: right you are; mid-afternoon in Asia atm
[08:05] <Fdisk93> semsem vlc plays just about evrything aswell i use it
[08:05] <phish> Is it possible to boot from an ISO somewhere on your HDD?
[08:05] <dfgas> i am trying to set gworldclock and i can't find guam on there  :(
[08:06] <Bidget> there is a configure.in
[08:06] <dfgas> i know it is +10
[08:06] <Bidget> so I guess it should probably be ./configure.in right IcemanV9
[08:06] <bazhang> phish: you want to boot a different distro or ubuntu on a different distro/windows
[08:06] <dfgas> they are 16hours ahead
[08:06] <IcemanV9> Bidget: try it again ... ./configure
[08:06] <zero> hey
[08:06] <Bidget> IcemanV9, same error
[08:06] <raevol> hey i somehow disabled multiple workspaces, and i can't figure out how to get them back: right clicking on the workspace switcher just brings up options for rows and columns
[08:06] <raevol> any ideas? :[
[08:06] <Johninky> hello all
[08:06] <Johninky> Can I ask a quick question please, might take a long answer
[08:06] <zero> i lost my screen resolution of 1440x900, can someone help me get it back?
[08:07] <semsem> Fdisk93, OK
[08:07] <phish> bazhang: i'd like to boot an iso of tinyxp so i can play a few games with optimal performance.
[08:07] <Jwyanze> question i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my gateway laptop but i am having troble wit connecting to the net what could be the problem?
[08:07] <dfgas> Johninky, just ask
[08:07] <Johninky>  How can I take .inf file and create a driver for ubuntu 8.04 or would it work, I have tried ndisgtk and  ndiswrapper
[08:07] <IcemanV9> Bidget: must be a bad one ... anything in the repo for a simple plugin that you're trying to compile?
[08:07] <bazhang> phish 3D games or not
[08:07] <slowlearner> jarrettgreen: try creating a file and you'll see.. usually i think its -rw-r--r--
[08:07] <Bidget> IcemanV9, not as far as I can tell... hmm dont worry I'll figure it out I guess
[08:07] <dfgas> Johninky, all you have is the inf?
[08:07] <zero> i used to have a 1440 by 900 resolution, but it doesnt show up anymore, is there ANY way i can get it back>?
[08:08] <Johninky> no, I have the whole cd
[08:08] <dfgas> Johninky, you don't have the sys file?
[08:08] <phish> bazhang: It's counter-strike, and ventrilo. I know i can use WINE but it's just not nearly the same without a constant 100 FPS.
[08:08] <helpfromu> hello people of the universe!
[08:08] <IcemanV9> zero: system > pref > screen resolution
[08:08] <dfgas> Johninky, you should be able to ndiswrapper -i blah.inf
[08:08] <phish> bazhang: this is the only reason i kept a little 4GB partition on my HDD for XP D:
[08:08] <zero> IcemanV9, its not an option anymore, it doesnt show up
[08:08] <dfgas> and it should install the wireless driver
[08:08] <helpfromu> can this ubuntu 7.10 use sound .mp3 file instead of wav file?
[08:08] <jarrettgreen> slowlearner - how do I check permssion on a file?
[08:09] <slowlearner> jarrettgreen: ls -al or ls -al file
[08:09] <helpfromu> cuz i love to change the sound files for my login or logout but this file is in mp3
[08:09] <semsem> how to speed up programs downloads?
[08:09] <bazhang> phish almost really worth it to dual boot then Wine can be good for some things and blah for others
[08:09] <IcemanV9> zero: seriously?
[08:09] <helpfromu> can that be possible or if not? what program to use to convert mp3 to wav?
[08:09] <dfgas> Johninky, you get all that?
[08:09] <Johninky> ok I don't want to sound stupid, but I have only been using linux for  about a week
[08:09] <zero> IcemanV9, yeah, the best widescreen display is 1152 by 768
[08:09] <IcemanV9> zero: what did you do before your favorite resolution disappears?
[08:09] <dfgas> Johninky, its all good, gota learn some way
[08:09] <phish> bazhang: I'm going to dual boot XP. i just want to know if i could load an iso from the HDD? ( So i can get the windows installer running )
[08:10] <bazhang> Johninky: not that at all; the more info you give the better we can answer; we were all in your shoes once
[08:10] <Jwyanze> i cant connect to te net with my gateway laptop with 7.10 installed could any one help me with this
[08:10] <KenSentMe> Is there any tool on Ubuntu that can connect to a MS SQL and read out the SQL?
[08:10] <zero> IcemanV9, i tried to use an external monitor, then it went to low graphics mode, then i reinstalled the nvidia driver, and then thsi happened
[08:10] <jarrettgreen> slowlearner - got it. I'm getting -rw-r--r-- I need rwxrwxr-x 755?
[08:10] <jarrettgreen> for all files from this user
[08:11] <bazhang> phish: not sure if that is possible from within ubuntu ( reverse wubi) though it would be a nifty feature
[08:11] <dfgas> Johninky, do you know where the drivers are on the cd?
[08:11] <Johninky> ok I have ubuntu 8.04 it is for a wireless card dynex dx-wgdtc or i have a netgear wn311b
[08:11] <dfgas> Johninky, if so make sure you are in that folder
[08:11] <Johninky> yes i have it and know where they are
[08:11] <bazhang> phish: just dont know enough about how windows works to do something like that
[08:11] <zero> IcemanV9, any ideas?
[08:11] <Tweaker> Hello, I got a question.
[08:11] <IcemanV9> zero: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:12] <dfgas> Johninky, you have to be in that folder at the command prompt
[08:12] <Tweaker> How would I get VB to work on Ububtu?
[08:12] <phish> bazhang: it could be applied to anything.
[08:12] <tuntun> OK, I have some recovered (windows) file fragments (.chk). I'm no data expert, but I was wondering If there is a tool to let me 'shift' the 'bit start position' in a stream of data so I could try and get any readable characters?
[08:12] <slowlearner> jarrettgreen: you can just chmod them if you need 755
[08:12] <dfgas> Johninky,  then type sudo ndiswrapper -i nameofdriverfilehere.inf
[08:12] <phish> bazhang: for instance let's say i had an iso of fedora version whatever but i couldn't burn it to a disk.
[08:12] <RenaKunisaki> Tweaker, Visual Basic├ē
[08:12] <Bidget> is there any way to make my terminal white on black instead of black on white Im getting a headache
[08:12] <bazhang> phish: I know how to do it via linux iso, but again windows is way out of my experience
[08:12] <Tweaker> Thank you, so it will run SoM?
[08:12] <Jwyanze> hey question i cant seem to connect to my wirless network
[08:12] <jarrettgreen> slowlearner How can I set up default permissions my user? rather than chmodding all files
[08:13] <RenaKunisaki> who broke my keyboard
[08:13] <phish> bazhang: how would you do it with a linux iso?
[08:13] <IcemanV9> Tweaker: try mono (can run VB app)
[08:13] <Johninky> so i need to open a terminal
[08:13] <Tweaker> Thank you
[08:13] <Tweaker> Were could I find this at?
[08:13] <Jwyanze> i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and even tho i put in the right settings it does not connect
[08:13] <slowlearner> jarrettgreen: sorry, i don't know if that's possible
[08:13] <IcemanV9> Tweaker: in the repo
[08:14] <Tweaker> Thank you again
[08:14] <dfgas> Johninky, yes
[08:14] <draginxx> Anyone know where I can download an iso of 8.04 RC1? (NOT the beta4...)
[08:14] <tuntun> or, some of the .chk files ubuntu reports as images, but on trying to open says 'header is garbled'. Is there an _image_ program to let me recover a corrupted image?
[08:14] <zero> hmm
[08:14] <dfgas> Johninky, then cd /media/cdrom/where/ever/the/files/are
[08:14] <hti_pro> anyone good with sed
[08:14] <bazhang> http://news.softpedia.com/news/Alternative-Installation-Methods-for-Gutsy-69157.shtml about halfway down this link phish
[08:14] <zero> IcemanV9, went through them, but nothing changed
[08:14] <Flannel> draginxx: RC hasn't been released yet.  But, #ubuntu+1 will keep you updated on it
[08:14] <Jwyanze> hey question i cant seem to connect to my wirless network  i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and even tho i put in the right settings it does not connect
[08:14] <draginxx> Flannel, it has actually
[08:15] <draginxx> I can update to it if I want to
[08:15] <Bidget> is there any way to make my terminal white on black instead of black on white Im getting a headache
[08:15] <IcemanV9> zero: with the external monitor connected?
[08:15] <bazhang> Jwyanze: what network card
[08:15] <hti_pro> i have this script, which removes all things between brackets, I need it to remove all things between brackets, but only bracket sets that start as the first character on a line
[08:15] <zero> no IcemanV9 i dont want to use the external anymore, i just want my 1440 by 900 back
[08:15] <dfgas> Johninky, i am sorry i need to get to bed, i am on vicoden and muscle relaxers and really need to goto sleep
[08:16] <gregory> Bidget: edit -> current profile
[08:16] <Bidget> thanks gregory
[08:16] <dfgas> Johninky, sorry i can't finish with you
[08:16] <tuntun> Bidget, terminal > edit > profiles
[08:16] <Johninky> dfgas, It told me that net5211.inf no such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1
[08:16] <Tweaker> Thanks for the help, Ill be back later if I cant figure it out. Peace
[08:16] <BaStArD^^> ciao a tutti
[08:16] <BaStArD^^> qualkuno parla italiano
[08:16] <IcemanV9> zero: ah. i misunderstood. sorry. ok. you'll need to add 1440*900 to the xorg.conf
[08:16] <Johninky> ok thank you DFGAS
[08:16] <BaStArD^^> qualkuno parla italiano
[08:16] <bazhang> !it | BaStArD^^
[08:16] <ubotu> BaStArD^^: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[08:16] <zero> IcemanV9, How do i do that?
[08:16] <PeterParkerSubZ1> where is everyone from?
[08:16] <dfgas> Johninky, space ndiswrapper -i

[08:19] <chazco> Hi... what level of support is there for .docx in Ubuntu Gusty? Already have issues with .doc files (think its the MS Fonts)
[08:20] <Johninky> dfgas,I dont want to keep you up all night, i will read a lot more
[08:20] <bazhang> chazco: that would be the provenance of open office
[08:20] <menakcman> i had already installed gtk+ using apt, but now when I am trying to install musictracker plugin for pidgin it says GTK 2+ is needed, what do I do ?
[08:20] <jussi01> !fonts | chazco
[08:20] <ubotu> chazco: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[08:20] <IcemanV9> zero: see Section "Screen" ?
[08:20] <chazco> jussi01 - Got the msfonts installed, things still dont match up
[08:20] <jussi01> chazco: install that msttcorefonts for your font issues :)
[08:20] <jussi01> oh
[08:20] <chazco> bazhang - Ah, so better to ask in the OO channel?
[08:20] <zero> IcemanV9, under Default Screen, it shows 1440 by 900 as a choice
[08:20] <zero> so why isnt mine working?
[08:20] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: err driver? I tried to download one from the site and it didnt offer linux so I just went with the defaults in ubuntu
[08:21] <bazhang> chazco: they would likely know more
[08:21] <chazco> jussi01 - The fonts aren't quite the same (and totally kill my other office app Textmaker) so the formatting is bad
[08:21] <Johninky> Thank you Dfgas
[08:21] <chazco> Ah ok, will try open office
[08:21] <chazco> (IRC)
[08:22] <bazhang> PeterParkerSubZ1: the restricted driver? from the restricted driver manager? or the one from nvidia site (they do have a linux driver btw)
[08:22] <IcemanV9> zero: see SubSection "Display"? add "1440x900" on Modes line
[08:22] <zero> yes
[08:22] <menakcman> i had already installed gtk+ using apt, but now when I am trying to install musictracker plugin for pidgin it says GTK 2+ is needed.
[08:22] <IcemanV9> zero: ah. did u restart the X?
[08:22] <zero> IcemanV9, under that subsection it shows 1440 by 900
[08:22] <zero> ill try that now, be back soon
[08:22] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: I'll check it out once again...

[08:24] <Bidget> can someone help me Im following a howto and I am really really lost lol
[08:24] <Tweaker> Well I got it to work, it loaded up the GUI which is a great sign. But the Updater seems to lagggg and Wont budge :(
[08:25] <Tweaker> any ideas?
[08:25] <Bidget> actually... brb...
[08:25] <jussio1> menakcman: install libgtk2.0-dev
[08:25] <menakcman> in the configure command do I need to  pass anything before executing ?? @ubotu
[08:25] <IcemanV9> Tweaker: are you using the mirror?
[08:25] <jussio1> !bot > menakcman
[08:26] <Tweaker> Its a game, and yes it auto updates but it wont seem to update
[08:26] <Tweaker> Its stuck on 5.438 kb out of 1643.296 kb
[08:26] <menakcman> @jussiol can i install it using Synaptic ?
[08:26] <jussio1> menakcman: yes
[08:26] <IcemanV9> Tweaker: ah. a game. i thought you're talking about ubuntu update-manager
[08:26] <Tweaker> Lol no, My update manager has always worked :D
[08:27] <phish> Ubuntu by default thinks my computer has a floppy drive ( it doesn't really ). How can i make it so that i don't see it anymore? ( in the file browser etc )
[08:28] <powertool08> i'm using kubuntu, kded keeps mounting my flash drive as uid=1000 how do i stop this?
[08:29] <magnetron> phish: disable the support in your BIOS
[08:29] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: It's not letting me install
[08:29] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: It's says it must run as root when I chose to run it in terminal ... then I hit run and it does nothing
[08:30] <tuntun_> I really hate how some windows are resizeable, but don't have a maximise button. How can I force it to have a maximise button?
[08:30] <bazhang> PeterParkerSubZ1: with the sudo command?
[08:30] <menakcman> how do I uninstall glib2.14.0 ?
[08:30] <bullgard4> In Tracker I am searching for documents containing the search word 'tracker'. Why does Tracker output documents which contain the words 'track' or 'tracks'?
[08:30] <IcemanV9> menakcman: sudo aptitude remove
[08:31] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: That's what happened last time too ... so I mispoke they have the driver it just wont let me install
[08:31] <Tweaker> So does anyone know why its just hanging there?
[08:31] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: I'm a newb I don't know how to do that
[08:31] <IcemanV9> Tweaker: if it is hanging, then kill it and restart
[08:31] <menakcman> @IcemanV9 no without using apt, generalised method
[08:31] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: I have the terminal open
[08:32] <bazhang> PeterParkerSubZ1: are you in the same directory as the file you want to install? you then to need add sudo in front of the command you give and then supply your user password
[08:32] <IcemanV9> menakcman: applications > add/remove ?
[08:32] <Tweaker> I have ICE and it keeps hanging there
[08:33] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: I saved the file from nvidia to the desktop, but I don't know any commands
[08:33] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: I just got off windows two days ago
[08:33] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: Sorry for my lack of know how
[08:33] <bazhang> PeterParkerSubZ1: before you do that; have you the drivers installed in the restricted drivers manager? enabled and in use?
[08:33] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: I'm much better with windows, not that that would do me much here
[08:33] <warlocky> Hey guys, pure-ftpd recently just quit working for me. I can't seem to start it, I've tried re-installing it 4 times now with no success.
[08:34] <warlocky> Could anyone please help? I really need to get my pure-ftpd server up and running again.
[08:35] <Bidget> ok guys Im following this howto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2461304&postcount=285
[08:35] <Bidget> and Im not quite sure what to do here...
[08:35] <Daemonus> can someone recommend a good video editor program please?
[08:36] <doom__> guys i need some help
[08:36] <doom__> i don't know how to do that
[08:36] <doom__> but
[08:36] <doom__> i need my ubuntu system everytime it starts to run virtualbox and run a virtual machine
[08:36] <Bidget> Im about halfway through and its installing this one thing but there was an error "error: "libg15daemon_client not found. please install it" and then on the next like make: *** no targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[08:37] <Bidget> so would I just exit the installer, go liiike..... sudo apt-get install libg15daemon_client and then go back and install the last thing?
[08:37] <Bidget> agghhh :(
[08:38] <slowlearner> doom__: add it to sessions
[08:38] <PeterParkerSubZ1> bazhang: I'm attempting to install them now ... it's going through the motions
[08:38] <visik7> hi, I've a dual head configuration with an nvidia geforce 7400, is there a way to use the second monitor as a workspace not as an extension of 1 workspace ?
[08:39] <IcemanV9> Bidget: you got the right idea
[08:39] <bazhang> PeterParkerSubZ1: please check the restricted drivers manager first
[08:39] <Bidget> IcemanV9, ok phew hahaha
[08:39] <bazhang> !dualhead | visik7
[08:39] <ubotu> visik7: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
 doom__: add it to sessions -> ok and how does it start automatically the virtual machine i want?
[08:40] <Tweaker> Hmm, it still just hanging there. ive restarted it like 10 times now
[08:40] <visik7> !Xinerama
[08:40] <ubotu> xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[08:40] <warlocky> Anyone? :(
[08:40] <doom__> u see i need to leave my pc on for the easter holidays and i need that virtual machine open all the time
[08:40] <someonne> ?
[08:41]  * IcemanV9 is dead tired ... it's 240 am ... and the game bet col & sd is dragging on !!
[08:41] <phish> On windows i've got tortoisesvn which integrates nicely into windows ( files have nice icons on them showing their current state ). Is there something similar for linux? :D
[08:41] <Bidget> ok so I just totally messed up an installation of something... is there some way I can just sort of undo what I did and start over
[08:41] <bazhang> phish things like svn git bzr? that what you are referring to?
[08:42] <warlocky> Hey guys, pure-ftpd recently just quit working for me. I can't seem to start it, I've tried re-installing it 4 times now with no success.
[08:42] <slowlearner> doom__: virtual box must have an option to load a default vm, else just leave your machine on.
[08:43] <doom__> slowlearner, i WILL leave it on, but in case of a power cut.../
[08:43] <magnetron> warlocky: did you try to "remove completely" on pure-ftpd in synaptic? that will purge settings as well
[08:43] <phish> bazhang: well each file has an icon on it telling me whethers it's "ok" "different" etc.
[08:43] <phish> right in the folder that i'm looking at.
[08:43] <Tweaker> So I guess no one knows anything about why the game updator just hangs?
[08:44] <bazhang> phish no idea how windows works; those are the linux equivalents
[08:44] <phish> :X
[08:44] <phish> I'll try to find a screenshot :D
[08:45] <bazhang> phish not really necessary; you can try those out and see which best suits your needs
[08:46] <osfameron> morning
[08:46] <visik7> bazhang: my dual head configuration is working perfectly I'm just asking for a strange configuration not usually mentioned
[08:46] <osfameron> how can I reinstall my /etc/whatever/menu.lst after reinstalling Windows (which saw fit to kill it)
[08:46] <phish> bazhang: I'm just wondering if the ones you suggested are integrated with the desktop/file browser or whatever.
[08:46] <phish> or are they cmd line?
[08:47] <bazhang> visik7: I see; not sure how to help out as I only use the one; apart from using a linux box as a media center for a tv no real experience there

[08:47] <magnetron> warlocky: right click on the packet in synaptic
[08:48] <osfameron> bazhang: thanks
[08:48] <warlocky> Not running graphical, server.
[08:48] <osfameron> oh thank $deity, I didn't overwrite my linux partitions either
[08:48] <magnetron> warlocky: then you would have to read up on "man apt-get"
[08:48] <phish> bazhang: http://phishcave.com/upl/TeTwWTIS3n.png <-- old screenshot. See how that batbot folder has a red ! on it? I'm wondering if linux SVN has that? :O
[08:49] <bazhang> phish well from attending a session on bzr in #ubuntu-classroom a bit earlier, know that bzr is command line; not sure about a shiny gui for it though
[08:50] <warlocky> cant find anything there magnetron.
[08:51] <tuntun_> I really hate how some windows are resizeable, but don't have a maximise button. How can I force it to have a maximise button?
[08:51] <overboard> can any1 help i'm upgrading from red hat to ubuntu and want to move the users across is this possible?
[08:51] <bazhang> tuntun_: which ones in particular
[08:51] <slowlearner> doom__: sorry can't help anymore.. maybe you should check out the docs for virtualbox
[08:52] <doom__> it's ok slowlearner, thanks a lot for all the help :(
[08:52] <bazhang> overboard the data, or all the usernames, passwords, etc
[08:52] <tuntun_> bazhang, eg xchat 'channel list' window
[08:53] <overboard> baz: i was just going to copy of the gshadow, shadow, users, the other one as well which i cant think of and then copying that on the new box
[08:53] <bazhang> tuntun_: that would seem to be by design; ask the developers of xchat to change the design?
[08:53] <overboard> all i realy want is the usernames and passwords
[08:54] <tuntun_> bazhang, in sure the windowing manager could override it :-\
[08:54] <overboard> (other file was passwd)
[08:54] <bazhang> overboard: that would seem to have a very low chance of working; does redhat not use a whole different permissions system than debian/ubuntu?
[08:54] <wers> how do I convert a .flv audio to .ogg or mp3?
[08:55] <overboard> i don't know i thought red hat has shadow passwords just like ubuntu
[08:55] <Tweaker> Well I guess  no one knows why the updater just hangs so Im out
[08:55] <magnetron> wers: use ffmpeg. you may need the medibuntu repository for some patented formats (illegal in USA, legal in the rest of the world)
[08:55] <overboard> is there any other way that you might know
[08:56] <bazhang> overboard: you can certainly try though; if nothing else it will be interesting
[08:56] <overboard> but if i try and it doesn't work then i will not be able to log in with root or anyother user name
[08:56] <overboard> see my issue :P
[08:57] <wers> thanks, magnetron :)
[08:58] <m0u5e> anyone know when hardy will be relased precisely to the hour?
[08:58] <m0u5e> hardy RC that is
[08:58] <bazhang> overboard: indeed I sympathize; I know of creating an ubuntu install from inside another linux distro, but importing user data seems limited as this point to transitioning from windows; if ubuntu can do it, then that would be apparent in the installer itself which has an import user data window--you could go to there and then just cancel out if it failed to find it
[08:58] <Flannel> m0u5e: no.  nobody does.  And hardy questions are in #ubuntu+1
[08:59] <m0u5e> Flannel: i've asked in there too ;__;
[08:59] <FulmineNero> hi guys
[08:59] <bazhang> m0u5e: an hour is added everytime someone asks
[08:59] <FulmineNero> somebody can tell me whi cd exampledir doesn't work in a shell script?
[08:59] <FulmineNero> why*
[08:59] <m0u5e> bazhang: then it's already been postponed past the actual release date :/
[08:59] <geirha> overboard: copying passwd and group is a bad idea, you mess up uids big time, since red hat and ubuntu use different uids and gids for system users and groups
[09:00] <bazhang> m0u5e: so stop asking! at this rate it wont be til next year ;]
[09:00] <overboard> damn :S
[09:00] <geirha> overboard: you need to selectively copy/paste the lines from passwd, shadow and group for the users you want to transfer
[09:00] <overboard> that sucks big time
[09:00] <m0u5e> bazhang: thats fine with me... but i need to know the date xD
[09:00] <m0u5e> knowing that it won't be released this year, is better than not knowing at all xD
[09:00] <bazhang> m0u5e: april 24 2011
[09:00] <overboard> ok
[09:00] <jaffarkelshac> hey guys, i have been looking around for lightscribe and video editors for ogg files but so far nothing, any suggestions?
[09:00] <m0u5e> bazhang: lol just in time for the next LTS LOL
[09:01] <overboard> geirha what parts do i need?
[09:02] <overboard> or what parts do i not need (which will cause issues?)
[09:02] <geirha> overboard: well, to transfer ┬½usera┬╗, copy the line starting with usera from passwd and shadow, and check what groups usera is a member of in group, then try to reproduce that on ubuntu's group file
[09:04] <overboard> ummm painfull :)
[09:04] <overboard> but gotta be done :)
[09:06] <Carbonflux> can anyone help me with clues as to why using Samba I can't see any of my Linux shares from Vista but I can see all my Vista shares from inside Linux ? seems like Samba is working in terms getting access to windows shares so I assume its just something about my host name etc. :)
[09:06] <geirha> overboard: might be easier to create new users with the same name using system -> admin -> users and groups. Then remove their new homedir, copy in the old, and chown it to the new uid. Then you only need to copy the one line from shadow
[09:07] <bazhang> Carbonflux: from the vista end?
[09:07] <Carbonflux> bazhang, ya when I browse the network from the Vista end I can't even see the machine
[09:07] <Carbonflux> but from Linux I have total access to the Vista machine
[09:08] <Carbonflux> ( which is fine really )
[09:08] <bazhang> Carbonflux: but the ubuntu end is working flawlessly? just problems with vista?
[09:08] <Carbonflux> heh, but it would be nice to get both ways going
[09:08] <akv> alo
[09:08] <maskijo> glodak glodak glodak
[09:09] <Carbonflux> bazhang, I assume its problems with how I have Samba configured, can see where you are going with this and why don't I just stop here. this is a simple conf issue with the Samba end, I will just google for it. thanks for your time :)
[09:09] <Jwyanze> thanks for the help earlier i got the Internet working now
[09:10] <Angel_of_Doom> hi
[09:10] <Angel_of_Doom> is anyone here?
[09:10] <bazhang> Carbonflux: well it could be that it is not enabled properly in Vista; not sure about that as have only briefly been exposed to it
[09:10] <bazhang> Jwyanze: you figured it out?
[09:10] <FulmineNero> somebody can tells me why cd exampledir doesn't work in a shell script?
[09:11] <Carbonflux> bazhang, well, I think it just can't find my host linux end because I am not sure how to setup the domain/workgroup stuff
[09:11] <Angel_of_Doom> can anyone explane me how to install apps in ubuntu?
[09:11] <Jwyanze> bazhang: yep i am talking from ubuntu7.10 now in pidgin
[09:11] <bazhang> Carbonflux: I will ask in the other channel if you wish
[09:11] <bazhang> !yay | Jwyanze
[09:11] <ubotu> Jwyanze: Glad you made it! :-)
[09:11] <Carbonflux> you mean the windows channel ?
[09:11] <soroush> I couldn't uninstall postgresql-8.2 in synaptic so I tried dpkg like this: http://nopaste.com/p/aW87AMLyeb
[09:11] <Carbonflux> bazhang, I am in that channel also heh, thanks tho, very nice of you :)
[09:12] <soroush> but it still gives me disappointing errors
[09:12] <soroush> how can I get rid of it?
[09:12] <bazhang> Carbonflux: I will google for karma if you wish
[09:13] <Stylee> what document viewer uses ubuntu by default for viewing PDFs?
[09:13] <Carbonflux> bazhang, google has been frustrating on this issue, I will just go back to it, it either gives me too much or too little, at this point I think I will have to slow down and do a manual edit of all the config files and review the settings which I was hoping to avoid heh
[09:13] <Jwyanze> thanks bazhang and ubotu. now to get wine to test PortableApps with it
[09:13] <Carbonflux> normally I do it backwards, google first then ask in the channel ;)
[09:14] <bazhang> Carbonflux: likely not that bad; let me check for a sec
[09:14] <Carbonflux> there was a good page in the ubuntu forums about issues specific to the way Vista deals with shared but I was not able to find it again heh

[09:21] <Peddy> bazhang: I was expecting some tuxonice kernels to be listed (as they are in menu.lst), as well as the Ubuntu ones
[09:22] <fouad> gotama, can you see any process that taking too much cpu ?
[09:22] <gotama> Konqueror, kate, openoffice.
[09:23] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-359166.html antonioabdulio here are some possible solutions
[09:23] <Peddy> bazhang: I suspect an alternate menu.lst is being used, or maybe I need to run a command.
[09:24] <bazhang> Peddy: tuxonice? what kernel is that from
[09:24] <Peddy> bazhang: its a modified Linux one
[09:24] <helpfromu> how can this 7.10 play *.AMR file? any url what to do with this?
[09:24] <gotama> No, exactly.  On reboot the pc the cpu seems to be ok. But very slow at the start up of konqueror, open office or gimp.

[09:27] <DracoZA> seperate pls
[09:27] <DracoZA> like extended desktop
[09:28] <bazhang> DracoZA: extended is one desktop; seperate is two different desktops

[09:33] <bazhang> GIn: gutsy?
[09:33] <sjovan> GIn: apt-cache search flash | grep Adobe ---> sudo apt-get install and package name
[09:33] <GIn> bazhang: yes
[09:34] <GIn> sjovan: that won't work with the beta :\
[09:34] <sjovan> GIn: didn't you say that you had gutsy?
[09:34] <fouad> GIn,  you need to creat a symbolic link
[09:34] <GIn> where does ff 3 look for plugins?
[09:35] <sjovan> ah, FF 3 beta... i c
[09:35] <GabrieLa_25> i need woman raid naw

[09:35] <GabrieLa_25> pvd2
[09:35] <fouad> I think it should be in the firefox 3 directory / plugins
[09:35] <GabrieLa_25> pliss
[09:35] <bazhang> GabrieLa_25: wrong channel
[09:35] <gotama> Just I recieved a message that there were updates availables. Then I say yes, Install updates. I guess It has installed some services unnecessaries but I do not know what.
[09:35] <GIn> bazhang: don't think I will upgrade :\ gutsy is working perfect for me
[09:36] <hilda_> how can i make genius webcam work with edubuntu linux

[09:44] <GIn> I hate flash too, but it can't be helped. :( I want to watch video online. I think the OS community should come up with something like flash :\

[09:54] <fouad> 2.6.24.xx
[09:54] <bazhang> CaptainMorgan: not likely you can ask in #ubuntu+1 though
[09:55] <fouad> CaptainMorgan, compile your own kernel ..
[09:55] <CaptainMorgan> 2.6.24 ain't bad tho...

[09:59] <bazhang> Conexion: you have to set the keybindings; some are already in use so be careful what you set

[10:00] <poni> Anyone here who's pretty good with shellscripts?

[10:00] <Conexion> I would have to combine it with a key?
[10:00] <newbieu> is there any way to know how many instance of the same screenlet is running
[10:01] <bazhang> Conexion: right needs to be either with a click and key or two keys
[10:01] <Conexion> alright :)

[10:05] <bazhang> Aariz: which program
[10:06] <mnemo> Aariz: if you programming maybe a library like gstreamer?
[10:06] <Aariz> bazhang: I want write a GTK+ program, but i don't know how to play mp3 files.
[10:06] <Aariz> I need play mp3.
[10:06] <bazhang> ubuntu-restricted-extras is what you want to install Aariz
[10:07] <powertool08> i've got a ? for you, i want to install to a usb drive, i have my image, but i don't want to waste a cd for one install, is there anyway to install from the image?
[10:07] <Mattz> hey guys !
[10:07] <Keule> does anybody know a good DNS-Filterlist for e-mails?
[10:07] <Aariz> mnemo: gstreamer?
[10:07] <itguru> Can anyone recommend a web-based QoS control package?
[10:07] <Mattz> I had to swap my nic and turn mu o/b nic off... now my pci nic is recognized as eth2 but I can't do a ifdown on eth2 :s
[10:07] <Aariz> mnemo: What's this?
[10:08] <mnemo> Aariz: it's a pretty advanced framework for playing media files --> http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
[10:08] <Aariz> bazhang: ubuntu-restricted-extras? what's this?
[10:08] <Aariz> mnemo: OK, Thanks!
[10:08] <bazhang> Aariz: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras from the terminal
[10:08] <Skaar1> can someone help me with synaptic: i can't launch it and i get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[10:09] <KrimZon> powertool08: you might be able to install wubi and then use lvpm to copy the installation to real partitions on the usb drive
[10:09] <noiesmo> Mattz, check /etc/iftab file the mac address needs to match ur nic
[10:09] <KrimZon> powertool08: but that's quite a long winded way, and can be a bit tricky
[10:09] <noiesmo> Mattz, and also be named eth0
[10:09] <Mattz> noiesmo, that was where I was looking for :) I couldn' t find it well in interfaces :)
[10:10] <powertool08> hmm, would it work in a vm?
[10:10] <Mattz> noiesmo, I don' t have such a file :S
[10:10] <Skaar1> anybody got an idea why i get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" when trying to launch synaptic?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> Skaar1: try reinstalling it
[10:10] <Mattz> Skaar1, I have seen it on google one
[10:10] <Mattz> once
[10:11] <Mattz> dunno why
[10:11] <noiesmo> Mattz, it's been replaced i think check See /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Skaar1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/113424
[10:12] <Mattz> noiesmo, it is, thanks !
[10:12] <KrimZon> powertool08: that might too, i don't know if installing and then effectively changing the hardware would cause significant problems
[10:12] <noiesmo> Mattz, :)
[10:12] <Skaar1> ok, i'll look at that
[10:12] <blight> Anyone here running/has run XP in KVM?
[10:13] <bazhang> powertool08: this is a dual boot situation? could you clarify
[10:13] <azuki> is there a shortcut to resizing windows?
[10:13]  * Mattz needs a reboot
[10:13] <Mattz> cu soon
[10:13]  * Mattz is normally MatBoy :)
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> azuki: in what way and how do you mean shortcut?
[10:14] <powertool08> bazhang: i want to install to a usb drive but i don't want to burn a cd, i'd like to install straight from the image if possible, and i have virtualbox so i could boot from the image but wasn't sure if it would work that way or not
[10:15] <azuki> well.. by having 2 bars on top of my screen it seriously smallens my desktop, when I open a window and the size is standardly a certain size, the resize in the lower left is out of the screen :(... so I have to move my bars all the time.. which is annoyinh, ActionParsnip
[10:15] <bazhang> powertool08: what system is running now?
[10:15] <azuki> ActionParsnip: like ctrl-s or something
[10:16] <powertool08> bazhang: ubuntu feisty
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> azuki: I think if you hold ctrl + shift and click close it stores the position
[10:16] <bazhang> powertool08: you might look into lubi then
[10:16] <azuki> even if it's a wine emulation?
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> azuki: i believe so
[10:16] <azuki> I'll check it ou
[10:18] <bartmon> Hey! I'm looking for a virtualisation solution which will run Windows with at least some 3d support, I need ot for 3d modelling so it doesn't have to be super fast. I tried VirtualBox and it's very nice for non 3d apps but I'd really like to run some software which wine can't handle. Is VmWare the only other solution?
[10:19] <bazhang> bartmon: parallels may have limited 3d support
[10:19] <azuki> ActionParsnip: that didn't work :/..
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> bah
[10:20] <bartmon> bazhang: thanks, i'll check it out.
[10:20] <slowlearner> azuki: or you can alt+click to drag and then resize once you find the edges
[10:20] <bazhang> powertool08: you can /msg ubotu wubi and check the ubuntuforums link for more info on lubi
[10:20] <azuki> slowlearner: DOH...
[10:21] <azuki> slowlearner: ofcourse.. :)
[10:21] <azuki> didn't think of that
[10:21] <bartmon> bazhang: Are you sure parallels are for Linux? Because from what I see it's for MacOS X
[10:21] <azuki> slowlearner: oh wait.. that doesn't work up and down
[10:21] <azuki> only to the left and to the right
[10:21] <powertool08> bazhang: ok, thanks i'll look into it tomorrow, now i need to sleep
[10:22] <slowlearner> azuki: oh yeah! mine too :D sorry
[10:22] <azuki> slowlearner: but the fix is there: turn of in compiz the Y-restriction
[10:22] <azuki> then it works..
[10:22] <azuki> thanks!
[10:22] <Skaar1> what does "sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf" exactly do? it solved my synaptic problem though
[10:22] <slowlearner> azuki: great, that i didn't know

[10:24] <OllieH> How would I get a RealTek RTL8185 54M Wireless LAN Network Adapter to work?
[10:24] <Oprtz> i tried VLC player but when i play a video file , it starts and suddenly disapeare ......
[10:25] <S[r]us> I have a really peculiar problem on feisty: i cannot reach tty4-6 with the usial key combination and entering passwords containing digits on tty1-3 kills getty (exit status 3); using a password without digits shows no problem. su fails on these terminals as well. All number keys work<PHONE_NUMBER>).
[10:25] <S[r]us> i can however reach tty4-6 using echo -e "\033[12;4]" for instance, so these are running
[10:26] <bartmon> Oprtz: That's strange. Try and run vlc from the console if you can: "vlc <path to vide file>". It should print out what the problem is
[10:27] <Oprtz> bartmon: i was used to watch movies on ubuntu , and it was good as compared to windowsXP, but after installing plugin i am facing the peoblem
[10:27] <Skaar1> i would like to remove gstreamer becuase i don't have any sounds in some applications(rhytmbox, pidgin..) but when trying to remove it with synaptic it tells me that there are additional changes: rhytmbox, ubuntu desktop and others have to be removed
[10:28] <Daemonus> vga=791 is what resolution?
[10:28] <tim167> how do i chown a folder and everything in it ?
[10:28] <bartmon> Oprtz: Well vlc doesn't use gstreamer AFAIK so it doesn't really care about the plugins.
[10:28] <bartmon> Daemonus: I think it's 1024x768
[10:28] <erUSUL> tim167: chown -R
[10:28] <Daemonus> do you know the 1920x1200 res?
[10:28] <Daemonus> 794?

[10:29] <Oprtz> i want to restore

[10:50] <tomolds> I was under the impression that this should work but it doesn't seem to "out of the box"
[10:50] <insomninja> tomolds, you might be interested in the program nvidia-settings, if you use the nvidia drivers
[10:50] <GIn> I made my ubuntu looks like xp classic :\
[10:50] <tomolds> insomninja: Thanks, I'll check it out and yes I use the Nvidia drivers

[10:53] <cdavis> Anyone in here from central US?
[10:55] <gregory> !ask | cdavis
[10:55] <ubotu> cdavis: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[10:55] <Peddy> can someone please tell me if there is any way to download previous versions of Ubuntu packages? In particular the flashplugin-nonfree one?
[10:55] <eth01> it's off-topic, so ask in #ubuntu-offtopic

[10:56] <Dewitt> How do I make Ubuntu install only MINIMAL set of files? Is there a way?
[10:56] <kajo> psychocats.com
[10:56] <kajo> there's a guide to doing a 'barebones' instalation there.
[10:56] <kajo> I think that's the site. If it isn't, goodle 'psychocats', and it should come up.
[10:56] <Peddy> eth01: are you referring to my question?

[10:57] <NekoKun> I have a 500GB usb hdd... I've noticed that, at least in xandros, it is mounted not mounted in mnt, but it appears in user folder (At least in EeePC). What I want know is: is it hard to put aname to this device and everytime this one is mounted a specific folder appears?
[10:59] <erUSUL> !minimal | Deadned
[10:59] <ubotu> Deadned: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[11:00] <Deadned> wut?
[11:00] <erUSUL> NekoKun: you can assing a label to the partition
[11:00] <kajo> assign*
[11:00] <kajo> ;)
[11:01] <NekoKun> erUSUL: But if I call it 'warehouse', I would be able to, for example, type 'cd /usbdevices/warehouse'?
[11:01] <erUSUL> NekoKun: well ubuntu mounts in /media/ so it would be /media/warehouse afaics
[11:02] <NekoKun> erUSUL: well... it works perfectly too :p
[11:02] <NekoKun> Thanks erUSUL , thanks everyone, have a nice day
[11:03] <Cahan> is there any need to defrag linux system partitions like there is with Windows?
[11:03] <Lamego> !defrag | Cahan
[11:03] <ubotu> Cahan: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.
[11:03] <gregory> Cahan: no

[12:18] <Myholyleg> kajo, I think hibernation just stores whatever is on the RAM in your harddrive and shutsdown. When you start your computer again it reloads everything into the RAM.
