[06:16] <dustin> how do i enable 3d acceleration on my nvidia card without crashing my x server
[06:16] <deathguppie> does anyone know where I can find a package for Freetype2???
[06:16] <Hamm_sandw> afk a while brb
[06:16] <Mixx> dustin use envy
[06:16] <kenthomson> Hamm_sandw: what is "stoacked"
[06:16] <RememberPOL> Pelo: And the packages make up his release.
[06:16] <dustin> jcvhgvc
[06:16] <DARKGuy> maybe he meant shocked? x)
[06:16] <crdlb> Mixx: don't recommend envy please
[06:17] <Mixx> crdlb why not? works great for me
[06:17] <RememberPOL> ubuntu_user07: For a distro upgrade, try this: gksu update-manager -c
[06:17] <deathguppie> dustin: .. what card are you using??
[06:17] <crdlb> !worksforme | Mixx
[06:17] <ubotu> Mixx: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[06:17] <deadchip> how can i switch the architecture?
[06:17] <Mixx> blah blah blah
[06:17] <Mixx> any concrete reason?
[06:17] <kenthomson> dustin: do a "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver", see if it contains a line called Driver nvidia
[06:17] <deadchip> i've changed the system to an AMD 64, now i wonder if i can switch without reinstallation
[06:17] <dustin> nvidia geforce fx5200
[06:17] <dustin> pci
[06:17] <kenthomson> Mixx: envy is evil
[06:17] <crdlb> Mixx: yes, it *will* break every time ubuntu pushes a kernel upgrade
[06:18] <Mixx> so uninstall it and reinstall it like i just did
[06:18] <kenthomson> RememberPOL: what's that -c?
[06:18] <deathguppie> dustin: it works with the nv driver.. but not nvidia right?
[06:18] <Pelo> !upgrade > ubuntu_user07
[06:18] <Mixx> i guess the point is
[06:18] <kenthomson> dustin: ain't than an AGP
[06:18] <Mixx> envy shouldn't be needed
[06:18] <Mixx> nvidia drivers should be easier to install
[06:18] <RememberPOL> kenthomson:   -c, --check-dist-upgrades                        Check if a new distribution release is available
[06:19] <kenthomson> Mixx: tell me what is envy?
[06:19] <deathguppie> kenthomson: no the last PCI card from nvidia was the 5200
[06:19] <kenthomson> RememberPOL: ok
[06:19] <kenthomson> deathguppie: thats news
[06:19] <dustin> i have installed the drivers before but when i enter the command to enable 3d acceleration and restart my xserver crashes
[06:19] <Mixx> kenthomson it's a script to install video drivers
[06:19] <deathguppie> well.. the last one I owned.. heh
[06:19] <kenthomson> Mixx: And from where does it get the video drivers?
[06:19] <Mixx> kenthomson use with caution as like is being warned here, it can break stuff
[06:19] <kenthomson> dustin: nvidia?
[06:19] <RememberPOL> Mixx: I totally agree with the basic uselessness of envy ;x
[06:20] <deathguppie> dustin: what command??
[06:20] <Mixx> !doesn'tworkforme | crdlb
[06:20] <dustin> I can't remember I have slept since the last time i looked it up to enter it
[06:20] <kenthomson> CAN someone help me setup two monitors one on my nvidia fx-5200 VGA and the other on my motherboard ASUS A7V-400MX's VGA? HMM..?
[06:20] <kenthomson> !doesn'tworkforme
[06:21] <cyberclone> hi
[06:21] <Mixx> heh
[06:21] <crdlb> that's not a factoid
[06:21] <hitmanWilly> !worksforme
[06:21] <deathguppie> dustin: just edit the /etc/X11/xorg.config file by hand that is all you need to do
[06:21] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[06:21] <kenthomson> !hi | cyberclone
[06:21] <ubotu> cyberclone: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:21] <kenthomson> hitmanWilly: i was trying doesN'T
[06:21] <dustin> I have never done that before
[06:21] <crdlb> !doesn't work
[06:21] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[06:21] <axl000> hi
[06:21] <crdlb> there is that one ^^
[06:22] <dustin> can you guide me to some documentation to take the proper steps
[06:22] <Pelo> can wwe stop playing with the bot
[06:22] <deathguppie> dustin: pull the file up in a text editor and go down untill you find "Section Device"
[06:22] <kenthomson> dustin: have you gone to Africa before? If no than how can you drink Afrikan-bloodhound's blood? Similarly if you haven't installed LInux before, have would have edited X.org, but now as you are in Africa (linux) might as well try and drink the blood (edit the xorg.conf)
[06:22] <axl000> why ubuntu 7.04 recognizes my hard drive as a sata drive , but its a ide
[06:22] <deathguppie> dustin: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:22] <kenthomson> crdlb: that is so :-)
[06:22] <axl000> sorry for my bad english
[06:22] <pr0nGuy> How can I install the help packages for gimp on Edgy?
[06:23] <Pelo> dustin,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[06:23] <gregorovius> axl000, the the sata driver now manages all disks
[06:23] <hitmanWilly> axl000, that's a 2.6.20 kernel thing, it calls pretty much everything sata
[06:23] <Pelo> pr0nGuy,  look in synaptic for gimp you'll be able to tell which package it is I am sure,  probably with a doc at theend
[06:23] <dn> I am having a problem when I boot with kbx. It gives me an error message. I think it's the result of doing a xorg.conf reconfigure. Here's an img of the error: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/NJ_Hewitt/Screenshot-gnome-settings-daemon.png
[06:23] <crdlb> Pelo: -phigh
[06:23] <axl000> ohhh
[06:23] <crdlb> it gives way too many options w/o it
[06:23] <Pelo> crdlb,  what ?
[06:24] <axl000> im having problems whit that
[06:24] <crdlb> Pelo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:24] <kenthomson> hitmanWilly: really i still have a hda and not a sda with both my PATA drives in feisty
[06:24] <dustin> ok after I install the drivers and open up the file to edit it what do i do when editing to enable 3d acceleration
[06:24] <axl000> vmware have problems working whit sda
[06:24] <Pelo> oh
[06:24] <kenthomson> crdlb: what is -phigh exactly?
[06:24] <crdlb> kenthomson: only ask high priority questions
[06:24] <dougie> OK! Now i really need to fix this cause its really starting to bug me....even if i can just change the default action somehow so it doesn't try and run the photo importer when i connect my camera.
[06:24] <deathguppie> dustin: just go to the part Section "Device"
[06:24] <hitmanWilly> kenthomson, really? it calls all mine sata
[06:25] <crdlb> kenthomson: there's also -pcritical which asks none at all
[06:25] <kenthomson> crdlb: ok, i though you were telling me to ask only HIGH PRIORITY question in the channel ;-)
[06:25] <deathguppie> dustin: there you will see something that says  Driver "nv"
[06:25] <dustin> alright i will do these things you tell me then come back and let you know
[06:25] <kenthomson> hitmanWilly: not with me still let me check
[06:25] <dustin> brb
[06:25] <deathguppie> dustin: change "nv" to "nvidia"
[06:25] <dn> anyone get a look at my kbx error?
[06:25] <DARKGuy> anybody knows how to remove the huge arrow icon thing when I make a link to a folder/program in my desktop? (Gnome)
[06:26] <kenthomson> hitmanWilly: i have a hda1,2,3 and a hdb1,2,
[06:26] <dougie> when i connect my digi camera to the computer it brings up thie Import Photos wizard thing. And it says at the bottom Loading camera drivers from '/usr/lib/libgphoto2/2.3.0'.... and eventually it errors out something about can't find driver or something
[06:26] <kenthomson> deathguppie: maybe it's Driver vesa
[06:26] <hitmanWilly> wow, it changed mine back, actually, that's REALLY weird...
[06:26] <kenthomson> DARKGuy: you are so very right, it's obnocious
[06:26] <dougie> here we go just error'd and it says "An error occurred in the io-library ('Unspecified error') Could not query kernel driver of device
[06:27] <kenthomson> hitmanWilly: are are you boozed?
[06:27] <DARKGuy> kenthomson: huh? o_O
[06:27] <kenthomson> DARKGuy: obnoxious
[06:27] <kenthomson> DARKGuy: not you that emblem
[06:27] <dougie> if i uninstall libgphoto completely it will show up just as a drive on my desktop but i have to reinstall it because it removed ubuntu desktop and a bunch of other stuff like wine and stuff which are all dependencies on libgphoto aparently
[06:27] <Pelo> dougie,  does it mention which driver ?
[06:27] <dustin> ok I am downloading and installing the restricted modules package for nvidia right now
[06:27] <DARKGuy> kenthomson: oh, yeah xD
[06:27] <dougie> no
[06:27] <dustin> then i will install nvidia-glx
[06:28] <DARKGuy> kenthomson: but it's bigger than the windows shortcut arrow thing
[06:28] <hitmanWilly> kenthomson, no, really :) Just last week it was calling both of them sd...i know because i reformatted the ide one
[06:28] <DARKGuy> like, what the hell!
[06:28] <parad0x`> BERYL
[06:28] <dustin> then edit the X!! file
[06:28] <Pelo> dougie, check the forum
[06:28] <dougie> Pelo: it just says that stuff....the driver its trying to load is the one for Panasonic DMC-FZ20
[06:28] <Gat0rvean> Can anyone recommend a very good source to learn more about linux? Such as a manual in PDF format I can reference and read through?

[06:29] <Pelo> dougie,  this is a digital camera not a webcam ? why is it trying to load drivers?  it should just mount as a usb drive
[06:29] <DARKGuy> kenthomson: and it's annoying, considering the rest of my icons have no big-huge-like-HEY arrow above them :/
[06:29] <dustin> well i might as well shoot the breeze in here for a while my internet connection sucks it is going to take me damn near 20 moins to install
[06:29] <dustin> lol
[06:29] <kenthomson> DARKGuy: SAME IS MY problem too
[06:29] <Pelo> dougie,  did you try to install your camera's window driver on ubuntu using wine ?????
[06:29] <dougie> Pelo: not sure but i think i just found a fix.....
[06:30] <DARKGuy> kenthomson: Yay, we can share problems too :D (lol....) no fix yet? x(
[06:30] <dougie> Pelo: no it just has one built into libgphoto already i guess
[06:30] <kristopher> bloody 'ell
[06:30] <dustin> there is some guy in france who just wrote 352 drivers for webcams in linux
[06:30] <dustin> even for the cheap $20 ones
[06:30] <Pelo> dustin,  he did just do it ti took him 4 years
[06:31] <Liquido`sleep> i hate evangelion it took off 2 nights in a row >.<
[06:31] <dustin> yeah i know that
[06:31] <kristopher> So i've reinstalled everything, yadda yadda
[06:31] <dustin> it isn't an overnight thing
[06:31] <Pelo> that is what open source is al about
[06:31] <kenthomson> Liquido`sleep: what is that
[06:31] <dn> hey guys here is the error i get on boot and i'm having some issue with my keyboard and mouse: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18516/
[06:31] <Liquido`sleep> kenthomson: anime >.<
[06:31] <deltaphc> he didn't write 352 drivers. he wrote a smaller set of drivers for 352 different webcams
[06:31] <deathguppie> dustin: it might be vesa instead of nv..
[06:31] <kenthomson> Pelo: yeah sweating like hell if even all you want to do is get an goddamn program it install and the so very common hardware to function
[06:31] <deathguppie> nv is the opensource driver for nvidia
[06:31] <Pelo> liquiddoom,   #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:32] <dustin> vesa?
[06:32] <deathguppie> ya.
[06:32] <Liquido`sleep> Pelodoom okay
[06:32] <deathguppie> look for a section where it says Driver  "vesa"
[06:32] <Pelo> kenthomson,  no one is keeping you from going back to windows
[06:32] <deathguppie> and change "vesa" to "nvidia"
[06:32] <dustin> ok
[06:32] <deathguppie> that loads your nvidia driver
[06:32] <dustin> and that will enable the 3d acceleration
[06:32] <deathguppie> it really is that simple
[06:33] <deathguppie> dustin: yes
[06:33] <dustin> thank you for clearing that up
[06:33] <Pelo> dn,  I think you'll have better luck looking up your problem in the forum
[06:33] <nixternal> OK you GNOME'ies, where is my power off or reboot options in the shutdown dialog?
[06:33] <deathguppie> but if  X crashes.. change it back to "vesa" and come back and say something..

[06:35] <cje> hi guys, sorry to ask such a really stupid question.  I am a new kubuntu user.  I am trying to delete some files.  This is a relatively fresh install of Edgy, but I do have some big video files I would like to delete.  There is no trash bin icon on my desktop by default.  Is there a graphical tool I could use to delete these files?  rmdir -Rf ~file/path doesn't work.

[06:36] <kenthomson> nixternal: i think you are having some other tty open and are  currently in an underprivilidged account, try this open a terminal and do "sudo shutdown -r now" and that will reboot your machine, see if now those icons appear
[06:36] <mpt> hi nixternal :-)
[06:36] <nixternal> kenthomson: I know that will work
[06:36] <DanaG> Oh, and fbsplash and suspend2, too.

[06:36] <kenthomson> cje: right-click delete
[06:37] <pr0nGuy> Is there a open source version of Visual basic. NET?
[06:37] <DanaG> Though suspend2 doesn't show status with fbsplash.  It just says "Suspending Consoles".

[06:40] <dustin> what was the address for the file to edit for the nvidia driver again
[06:40] <[Flux] > yup yup
[06:40] <mpt> Pelo, thanks, the answer was "mv ~/.gnome2/session ~/.Trash/"
[06:40] <mpt> then log out and log in again

[06:40] <crdlb> [Flux] : so you're using Xgl?
[06:41] <[Flux] > crdlb: yes i am
[06:41] <crdlb> and running games like DISPLAY=:0 game ?
[06:41] <pr0nGuy> nixternal: ok, not what my brother needs, but thanks for the know.
[06:41] <ericu> I have a noob question, I would like to download the new released pidgin, how do I go about doing that with the whole repository thing
[06:41] <dustin> yes thank you
[06:41] <[Flux] > i run WoW through WINE
[06:41] <Pelo> mpt,  I'm glad you found a solution,  but I can't say I understant it

[06:41] <mt|chamby> anyone that can help me with something?
[06:42] <Hamm_sand> i have another noobish question:  how to you get filebrowser to show a list by default instead of huge icons
[06:42] <mt|chamby> i have the "ntoskrnl.exe" windows boot problem since i have installed ubuntu on a seperate hard drive
[06:42] <mpt> Pelo, the Gnome session information had forgotten that I wanted a window manager. Deleting it (or trashing it, in this case) restored the default session, which includes metacity.
[06:42] <punsad> can I try out beryl with live ubuntu cd? or do I have to install it to hd?
[06:42] <dougie> crdlb: sorry
[06:42] <Pelo> ericu, pidgin and gaim are the same I think it is still called gaim in the repos,  the repos will have the latest version supported by the ubuntu team, if you want a newer one you have to get it from the gaim /pidgin site
[06:42] <therealnanotube> Hamm_sand: view > view as list +
[06:43] <therealnanotube> Hamm_sand: view > view as list ?
[06:43] <DanaG> Oh, missing ntldr?  I think you may need to use the "map" thingy in Grub, if there are two separate drives.
[06:43] <Skaag> how do I skip formatting a drive in the ubuntu installer?
[06:43] <Hamm_sand> derr  n/m  heh
[06:43] <Pelo> mpt, I think I get it
[06:43] <Hamm_sand> i fingered it out
[06:43] <Skaag> I want to keep the data in there
[06:43] <dustin> how much system memory is required to run beryl window manager
[06:43] <mpt> Unfortunately that gets me no closer to reporting the bug that caused metacity to go away in the first place.
[06:43] <ericu> Pelo, do I have to add the site to the source list?
[06:43] <Pelo> Skaag,  the guide or manual way, yiou just don't check the format box
[06:44] <punsad> Skaag: during install (text mode).. you can select 'go back' and it should take you to the install menu
[06:44] <chamby> can anyone help me with changing my boot.ini windows file without being able to boot windows? :/
[06:44] <Skaag> punsad: i'm there now
[06:44] <Pelo> ericu,  no , sorry , google for it , but I think you are probably better off with the repos package,  gaim is tied into a bunch of things
[06:44] <chamby> or any other fix to the "ntoskrnl.exe" file
[06:45] <punsad> Skaag: isn't there a 'go back' type option in the bottom left?
[06:45] <Skaag> pelo & punsad; is that the option I need to choose?
[06:45] <Skaag> i'm in the "rescue a broken system" mode
[06:45] <ericu> Pelo, so if the update manager doesn't see receive the new upgrade it is harder to upgrade?
[06:45] <clever> what could cause this: -rwx------ 1 1039 1039<PHONE_NUMBER>-12-02 22:55 /usr/sbin/sshd
[06:45] <Pelo> !ntfs > chamby  I think you'll have to install ntfs write support first and when you can access the file try asking for help in ##windows
[06:45] <clever> it seems to be preventing sshd from starting up
[06:45] <punsad> chamby: just mount the win dir.  you need to be able to write to an ntfs partition
[06:45] <Pelo> ericu,  more or less
[06:46] <Pelo> Skaag,  probably it's hard to tell we dont, realy know what you want to do
[06:46] <chamby> damn, i wish it was that easy for me to understand that
[06:46] <chamby> i got ubuntu 2 hours ago, and my internet has been down for the past 1.5 hours
[06:46] <Skaag> pelo: I just don't want the partitions to change...
[06:46] <chamby> so i really dont understand much yet
[06:46] <crdlb> !info ntfs-config | chamby
[06:46] <ubotu> chamby: ntfs-config: Enable/disable write support for any NTFS devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.5-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 41 kB, installed size 432 kB
[06:47] <Skaag> pelo: but the option in the guided mode or manual show me the partition as it exists, which is fine, and the option is to write the partition table and continue
[06:47] <punsad> Skaag: isn't there also a 'manually partition' option. once selected - you should be able to select 'don't partition' or just don't make any changes and skip ahead
[06:47] <Skaag> will writing the partition table erase my data?
[06:47] <[Flux] > okay i fixed my problem
[06:47] <[Flux] > yay
[06:47] <burnerx> can anyone help me setup icecast2 & mpd ?
[06:47] <punsad> can I try out beryl with live ubuntu cd? or do I have to install it to hd?
[06:47] <Skaag> there is no "don't make any changes" unfortunately :-(
[06:47] <Pelo> Skaag,   / will need to be formated anyway,   /home and /swap won't have to   if you know about partitionning try the manual option it will give you all the tools you need to make it instal your way
[06:47] <Skaag> I am in the manual partitioning
[06:47] <crdlb> punsad: depends on the card
[06:47] <punsad> crdlb: I
[06:47] <crdlb> punsad: what video card do you have?
[06:47] <ericu> Pelo, I wanted to test the new beta version of pidgin if I download a rpm, how would I go about installing and running it?
[06:47] <Pelo> Skaag,  is this your first linux ?
[06:47] <Skaag> pelo: but in the current format, /home is under / and not in a separate partition
[06:47] <punsad> crdlb: I've got an nvidia 'el cheapo 6150 integrated
[06:48] <crdlb> punsad: then it's tricky
[06:48] <chamby> i'm sorry guys but i am lost, i dont understand where i need to put the ntfs-config at
[06:48] <chamby> :[
[06:48] <Pelo> ericu,  don't get a rpm , get a deb or the source
[06:48] <Skaag> pelo: no but this is my first time trying to install a distribution on top of a drive that contains data
[06:48] <crdlb> punsad: you have to enable the restricted driver, sudo modprobe nvidia, then ctrl+alt+bksp
[06:48] <punsad> crdlb: how bout it I actually install it - is it still tricky?
[06:48] <crdlb> punsad: not at all
[06:49] <punsad> crdlb: what's tricky about typing sudo modprobe nvida then ctrl-al-bksp?
[06:49] <crdlb> punsad: I'm not sure that would work
[06:49] <punsad> crdlb: gotcha
[06:49] <crdlb> you may need a sudo lrm-manager first
[06:49] <punsad> crldb: thanks for the ideas :)
[06:49] <Pelo> Skaag,  the ubuntu installer will reformat / no matter what , if /home is in it /home will be reformated ,  leave the installer,  start gparted from the menu ,   resize your / partiton ,  make a new one , move your /home to the new partition and proceed from there
[06:49] <crdlb> punsad: normally you reboot after enabling the restricted driver
[06:49] <PX4n> hi
[06:50] <Skaag> pelo: alright gotcha
[06:50] <punsad> crdlb: I see
[06:50] <haru> hi.. i have an old monitor which supports only 60Hz at 1024x768 resolution. i also have a radeon 9250. i would like to know how i could manually force a higher refresh rate at the same resolution.
[06:50] <crdlb> haru: if that's all it supports, no
[06:50] <crdlb> !modeline | haru
[06:50] <hwMoD> @ your service
[06:50] <ubotu> haru: A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
[06:50] <punsad> Skaag: so yuo are doing a text based install?
[06:50] <Skaag> yes
[06:51] <crdlb> that's how you force it though ^^
[06:51] <haru> crdlb, but on the win systems i can force it upto 85Hz
[06:51] <ericu> Pelo, I have a tar.gz of the source, how do I compile it?
[06:51] <Skaag> how do I run gparted not form the menu?
[06:51] <crdlb> haru: then try a modeline
[06:51] <Skaag> it asks me to write previous changes... what previous changes??
[06:51] <Pelo> ericu,  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[06:51] <ericu> Pelo, thank you very much
[06:51] <Pelo> np
[06:51] <Skaag> i'm really freaked about this operation
[06:51] <Pelo> bookmark that, it's very useful
[06:51] <punsad> Skaag: what is on your screen right now?
[06:52] <Pelo> Skaag,  if you can boot the live cd ( even dapper or feisty ) you can do it from the gui
[06:52] <Skaag> the menu that shows "detect network", "install base system", partition disks, etc.
[06:52] <punsad> Skaag: that means you are done with the partitioning, no?
[06:52] <Pelo> Skaag,  I can't help you if you are in a text install I dont, know enough
[06:52] <Skaag> ok the fs still has some errors on it, running e2fsck on it
[06:53] <Skaag> punsad: no it's a manual rescue mode which doesn't do anything beyond mounting drives and detecting network devices
[06:53] <Skaag> punsad: from here I can try to do a bunch of stuff...
[06:53] <punsad> Skaag: so when booting from CD - you selected rescue mode... not install, is that right?
[06:53] <Skaag> yes
[06:54] <punsad> Okay... so what's the problem right now... is there one?
[06:54] <slop> what command would i use to list all files in a directory, as well as all files in all subdirectories, and send them all into a text file?
[06:54] <Skaag> well I just discovered the target drive still has fsck errors on it so i'm fixing that first
[06:54] <Skaag> hopefully after that I will be able to resize the drive and move /home to a different partition
[06:55] <punsad> slop: ls * > foo.txt
[06:55] <Skaag> and also /var
[06:55] <dermoth> 3bhelp
[06:55] <slop> punsad: that will do all recursive directories as well?
[06:55] <punsad> slop: find . -name "*" -print > foo.txt
[06:56] <sethk> Skaag, copy the home directory.  Don't change the actual location of home until _after_ you clone the /home tree
[06:56] <Pelo> g'night folks
[06:56] <xmb> find . , would suffice
[06:56] <TWiSTEDSO> can anyone help out , got some problems with the wlan card , its a level one Wpc-0301 H/W 4 , when running lspci it gives me 02:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI but when using the RT261 drivers the machine just keeps hanging. ?
[06:56] <punsad> xmb: good point
[06:56] <gldvxx> does anyone know how to reset the bios on an alienware m5500?
[06:56] <xmb> http://losers.yore.ma/~merchelo/tor/
[06:56] <slop> punsad: that will do all files in the current dir and its subcursive files and dirs?
[06:57] <punsad> slop: did you try it?
[06:57] <punsad> slop: it will
[06:57] <slop> punsad: yes, thank you :)
[06:57] <slop> punsad: works perfect
[06:57] <zeroday> who needs help with ati or nvidia
[06:57] <demonspork> what do I need to install to get a DVD decoder in Ubuntu?
[06:58] <Skaag> sethk: can you elaborate on that?
[06:58] <zeroday> demonspork: w32codecs
[06:58] <punsad> slop: per xmb's suggestion - 'find . > foo.txt' works just as well
[06:58] <zeroday> !dvd | demonspork
[06:58] <ubotu> demonspork: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[06:58] <slop> punsad: it listed it all in backwards-alphabetical order! lol
[06:58] <punsad> demonspork: have you tried automatix?
[06:58] <Skaag> sethk: assuming i've created a new partition, I copy /home to that partition... now what?
[06:58] <zeroday> !automatix | punsad
[06:58] <ubotu> punsad: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:58] <sethk> Skaag, you add your new /home partition to /etc/fstab
[06:59] <sanityx> Hello all!
[06:59] <zeroday> hi
[06:59] <punsad> slop: try: find . | sort > foo.txt
[06:59] <Skaag> sethk: at what point do I add it to fstab?
[06:59] <sethk> Skaag, You also mount it (putting it in /etc/fstab will mount it on subsequent boots)
[06:59] <punsad> ubotu: that's fine with me... I just use apt-get foo anyway
[06:59] <sethk> Skaag, it really doesn't matter; /etc/fstab isn't consulted after boot
[06:59] <zeroday> punsad: ubotu is a bot
[06:59] <sethk> Skaag, well, unless you use a mount command that forces it to be reread.
[07:00] <Skaag> you mean until after reboot
[07:00] <punsad> zeroday: i thought that might be too much text in such a short period of time
[07:00] <Skaag> yah, a mount -a
[07:00] <zeroday> punsad: lol
[07:00] <punsad> brb
[07:00] <sethk> Skaag, right.  you can do a mount -a, or mount it manually (as in mount -t ext3 /dev/hdXX /home)
[07:00] <Skaag> ok
[07:00] <sethk> Skaag, assuming it's ext3, and of course using the correct partition, /dev/hda2, /dev/sda1, whatever it actually is
[07:00] <ninjagamer> Hello Im currently having trouble with ubuntu FF. After upgrading to FF from DD through the software update GUI everything works great. I decited to install the nvidia restricted driver. After doing this and rebooting I no longer have sound. I've been browsing the forums today with no luck. Any suggestions. I have a sound blaster live card.
[07:01] <slop> punsad: excellent, thank you
[07:01] <mtx1> just upgraded to fiesty and for some reason all of my text is now just boxes instead of letters anyone else have this problem or know how to fix?
[07:01] <slop> exit
[07:01] <Skaag> sethk: yah it's ext3
[07:01] <sethk> ninjagamer, there must be an incorrect PCI ID in the X config file.
[07:01] <sethk> ninjagamer, which is /etc/X11/xorg.conf, IIRC
[07:01] <mobutu> http://geekz.co.uk/lovesraymond/archive/taking-freedom-further
[07:02] <zeroday> mtx1: what gfx card?
[07:02] <sethk> Skaag, I left out one step
[07:02] <sethk> Skaag, if you mount, as I said, your new /home will hide your old /home
[07:02] <Skaag> oh?
[07:02] <mtx1> nvidia
[07:02] <ninjagamer> yes nvidia card
[07:02] <sethk> Skaag, so you need to rename it, as in    mv /home /old-home     for example
[07:02] <ninjagamer> i am getting the exact model number its a geforce 4
[07:02] <Skaag> sethk: ah yes, I will copy the stuff, make sure it works, then rename /home to /home.old
[07:02] <Skaag> yah we're on the same page
[07:03] <zeroday> mtx1: you lost the drivers in the upgrade you need to reinstall them
[07:03] <sethk> Skaag, right.  You could also boot the CD, mount / but not the new /home, and delete the old /home that way (without renaming).
[07:03] <[Flux] > hmm do i wanna install kde...
[07:03] <zeroday> ninjagamer: try the envy script
[07:03] <zeroday> [Flux] : yes
[07:03] <ant-> flux, no
[07:03] <mtx1> oh really? i thought it was a font issue or something ok cool i will try that tommorow
[07:03] <sethk> Skaag, potentially you have a short period where things are nasty, where you've renamed /home but haven't mounted the new /home
[07:03] <[Flux] > oh great, the vote is tied
[07:03] <[Flux] > thanks guys... lol
[07:03] <sethk> Skaag, if you have su enabled, and a /root shell running in a terminal, that's not a problem
[07:04] <ninjagamer> where can i find the envy script
[07:04] <ant-> [Flux]  have you played with fluxbuntu?
[07:04] <Skaag> sethk: I will probably rename and reboot before I mount the new home
[07:04] <sethk> Skaag, but if you use the sudo nonsense, you'll have that potential issue.
[07:04] <[Flux] > i havent used fluxbox in 2-3 years
[07:04] <[Flux] > lol
[07:04] <ant-> blasphemy
[07:04] <ant-> well i guess not much has changed :(
[07:04] <ninjagamer> the video card is a Geforce FX 5200 and teh sound card is a SB Live! vbalue EMU10k1x
[07:05] <zeroday> ninjagamer: whats wrong?
[07:05] <sethk> ninjagamer, look for the PCI id in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
[07:05] <ninjagamer> after installing the restricted drivers for my nvidia card in FF no longer have sound
[07:06] <sethk> ninjagamer, look for a line (in xorg.conf) starting with  "BusID"
[07:06] <ninjagamer> seth how do i open up xorg.conf
[07:06] <[Flux] > whats the best way to install kde, should i use the kubuntu-desktop or  just do kde + kdebase
[07:07] <sethk> ninjagamer, vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:07] <ant-> [Flux] : you have to goto hell to get kde last i heard
[07:07] <sethk> ninjagamer, or:   grep -i busid /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:07] <ninjagamer> ah ok
[07:07] <sethk> ninjagamer, or use some other editor; lots of ways.  The editor will say the file is read only, but that's ok, you are only looking (at least initially)
[07:07] <[Flux] > lol
[07:07] <ninjagamer> i know how to do grep from unix ok
[07:08] <ninjagamer> thank u very much gentlemen/ladies.....iwill continue troubleshooting this issue in the morning...thank yo ufor your time
[07:08] <ant-> [Flux]  : naw i think kde-desktop gets you want you want
[07:08] <testure> anybody know why bash doesn't like my script with arrays under ubuntu (works perfectly fine in fedora/suse)? It's just a simple definition.. dirs=( dir1 dir2 dir3 dir4 );
[07:09] <testure> I get "syntax error, unexpected '(' on line __"
[07:09] <[Flux] > okay, thanks ant- :)
[07:09] <ant-> [Flux]  : i mean kubuntu-desktop of course
[07:09] <fernando> hey
[07:09] <[Flux] > i just dont want to have to change the splash screens and stuff back to ubuntu
[07:09] <sethk> testure, some bash versions are more than a little odd.  I use zsh which does away with the problem
[07:09] <[Flux] > but there is a how-to on the forums, so i guess its not such a big deal to do that
[07:09] <sethk> testure, the answer to your question is "different version of bash", presumably.
[07:09] <testure> sethk: I assumed as much :\
[07:10] <ant-> [Flux]  : oh well i dunno about all that, i would read first if its important to you
[07:10] <testure> I'll look into zsh, never used it before
[07:10] <sethk> testure, zsh is a lot nicer, although I'm sure there is a fix for that bash problem.
[07:10] <testure> thanks for the tip
[07:11] <hitmanWilly> [Flux] , just be aware that kubuntu-desktop brings a massive amount of software with it, much of which you may not want/need
[07:11] <dinoerata> i think Beryl is pretty cool, but i dont understand why i do not see a save or ok button in settings manager, it never saves my settings
[07:11] <dinoerata> anyone uses Beryl
[07:11] <sethk> [Flux] , regardless of the size, you'll save infinite aggravation by using the meta-package
[07:12] <[Flux] > yeah
[07:12] <dinoerata> anyone uses desktop manager - Beryl ?
[07:13] <[Flux] > i think ill just do the base kde
[07:13] <[Flux] > and then add from there
[07:13] <thebillywayne> dinoerata, yeah.  why?
[07:13] <[Flux] > im also gonna remove beryl, its kinda useless, other than eyecandy..
[07:13] <dinoerata> cannot get it to save my settings
[07:13] <thebillywayne> dinoerata, strange.  does it work?
[07:13] <thebillywayne> dinoerata, as in, do you see animatiosn?
[07:13] <dinoerata> does not have an OK button
[07:14] <dinoerata> or save option
[07:14] <thebillywayne> dinoerata, no.  the close button does fine.  It alters the setup as you select different things.  No need to even close the window, really.
[07:14] <Nergar> why do i have wine9.33 and not wine 9.36??
[07:14] <Nergar> are ubuntu repositories outdated??
[07:14] <t0dk0n> Does anyone know how to make a 2nd gen ipod shuffle charge in Ubuntu?
[07:14] <testure> damn.. I get the same error in zsh
[07:15] <t0dk0n> it works fine with gtkpod, but for some reason, wont charge 0_o
[07:15] <TWiSTEDSO> how do i remove and old driver in teh ubuntu system ?
[07:15] <sethk> Nergar, not exactly.  A distro is always a bit behind, unless you use a beta distribution.
[07:15] <dinoerata> hmm, if i quit and then open the manager again, all the settings i had are gone and it reverts to what was there b/4
[07:15] <testure> I wonder my array is being declared properly.. strange though since it worked in fedora and suse
[07:15] <dinoerata> well as you said , its eye candy
[07:15] <dinoerata> guess i will just put up with it,
[07:16] <Nergar> thnx sethk
[07:16] <sethk> testure, can you check the bash version on the other distros?  (bash --version)
[07:16] <testure> nah, I don't have access to those machines right now. I'll have to check it out tomorrow morning when I get to the office
[07:17] <sethk> testure, ok.
[07:17] <testure> one of them is Suse 10 though, so I'd imagine it has 3.2.13
[07:17] <dustin> ok I am in the text file now i change nv to nvidia
[07:17] <dustin> correct
[07:18] <testure> I'm trying to port one of our web-apps to ubuntu so I can convince them to switch from fedora.. installer script is dead in the water though heheh :)
[07:18] <sanity_x> testure, eww fedora.
[07:18] <testure> yeah
[07:18] <sethk> testure, zsh will fix that right up  :)
[07:19] <sethk> 'night all, about to pass out here.  :)
[07:19] <testure> sethk: zsh gave me the same error :\
[07:19] <dustin> pelo?
[07:20] <jacquesmerde> yo, i just added a samba share, do i have to manually set up a username and password to access it from another computer?
[07:21] <Toma-> jacquesmerde: i do believe so yes
[07:21] <chamby> is there a way for me to edit the boot.ini file from ubuntu?
[07:21] <Toma-> !samba
[07:21] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:21] <zcat[1] > jacquesmerde: what I do (it might not be the best idea) is change security from 'user based' to 'share based'
[07:22] <zylthinking> Hi, all, I have some question on compile the kernel, and is there anyone can help me?
[07:22] <defjux> ask
[07:22] <zcat[1] > gets rid of all the password hassles. Not a good idea if untrusted people have access to your network though
[07:23] <zylthinking>  Hi, all, I have some question on compile the kernel, and is there anyone can help me?
[07:23] <jacquesmerde> zcat[1] : yeah, its a wireless network which i think my neighbours have accidentally used
[07:23] <MSTK> !ask
[07:23] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:23] <zcat[1] > jacquesmerde: ok, just ignore my suggestion then :)
[07:24] <acid_burn> http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en
[07:24] <merc_> hello
[07:25] <ben23>  hi, I am trying to set up ssl with apache 2 in feisty, but apache2-ssl-certificate is missing, and I don't know how to install it
[07:26] <ben23> there's also a bug report of that problem
[07:26] <jacquesmerde> do i just want smbpassword -a [my local username] ?
[07:26] <Toma-> jacquesmerde: yep
[07:27] <jacquesmerde> Toma-: it doesnt bother me, but why doesnt ubuntu if not give you a gui way of doing it, at least tell you something still has to be done?
[07:27] <zylthinking> I made the initrd through mkinitramfs -o initrd.img.<IP_ADDRESS> and the initrd gernerated includes a directory named <IP_ADDRESS>-gerneric, that is my current kernel, not my new kernel and the new kernel panic
[07:27] <Toma-> jacquesmerde: file a bug!
[07:27] <zylthinking> what can I do?
[07:27] <jacquesmerde> nah, its like that song, "i filed a bug and the bug won"
[07:27] <merc_> does having a swap partition make the os perform faster?
[07:28] <defjux> do i have to defrag?
[07:28] <zcat[1] > zylthinking: from memory, you give it the version number at the end if you're not building for the current (running) kernel..
[07:29] <alex777> anyone able to help with the apache2-ssl-certificate problem ?
[07:29] <Toma-> jacquesmerde: well the problem will continue to exist :(
[07:29] <Geoffrey2> could someone please check this link to see if they can actually see the video?   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449088/trailers-screenplay-B10000-235-2
[07:29] <merc_> hello?anybody?
[07:29] <Jack31> wooooooooooohoooooooo ubuntu and del
[07:29] <Jack31> l
[07:29] <defjux> dell is selling oem ubuntu???
[07:29] <merc_> anyone want to tell me if a swap partition makes the system much faster?
[07:29] <Jack31> defjux yup
[07:30] <defjux> merc, probably a bit.
[07:30] <defjux> Jack31: thats is some good news.
[07:30] <asc> I'm looking for a wysiwyg HTML editor.  Do mozilla-composer, Nvu, or SeaMokey appear in the repositories, possibly under different names?
[07:30] <hitmanWilly> merc, not really, its just acts like extra (slow) ram
[07:30] <zylthinking> zcat[1] :  give it the version number at the end to which?
[07:30] <xipietotec> does anyone know if avahi-autoipd is supposed to start on a failed dhclient *if you have disabled avahi in network manager*?
[07:30] <merc_> i got 2gb of ram, make much difference?
[07:30] <zcat[1] > zylthinking: hang on, I'll check..
[07:30] <tonyyarusso> asc: If anything, mozilla-composer.  I'll be making Nvu packages for Feisty soon though.
[07:30] <Jack31> http://www.fabianrodriguez.com/blog/archives/2007/04/30/its-d-day/
[07:31] <xipietotec> asc, nvu is in the repos, I think universe repositories, it's WYSIS
[07:31] <xipietotec> WYSIWYG
[07:31] <tonyyarusso> xipietotec: not in feisty
[07:31] <xipietotec> even
[07:31] <Grape_Juice> merc_:  Usually most people make a swap partition double the size of their RAM.  So 4Gb for you. :)
[07:31] <hitmanWilly> merc, you need a little bit just in case an app needs the extra ram, but, no, not really
[07:31] <asc> Hm, universe is enabled...
[07:32] <numan> anybody help me to run a coomand for installing downloaded files
[07:32] <lgc> !paste
[07:32] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:32] <Geoffrey2> now, if I could just get multimedia to work under Ubuntu.......
[07:32] <zcat[1] > zylthinking:  try this "  mkinitramfs -o initrd.img.<IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>  "
[07:32] <xipietotec> tonyyarusso, bizzare, it *is* starting, with my new wireless card, when I put it in it starts and creates eth0:avahi, and then on top of that whenever my dhclient failes (which is all the time, since I haven't got this card working yet) it creates ath0:avahi
[07:32] <numan> !sudo
[07:32] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:32] <zylthinking> zcat[1] : thanks, I'll try it
[07:32] <asc> xipietotec: what is the exact name?
[07:33] <xipietotec> !nvu
[07:33] <ubotu> nvu is a WYSIWYG and code dual-function HTML editor for easily creating web pages.  The original developer is working on a full rewrite; meanwhile, another is doing bugfixes.  It is not in the Ubuntu repos for Feisty Fawn, but ping tonyyarusso to inquire about packages.  See also !html.
[07:33] <tonyyarusso> xipietotec: I was referring to nvu - not in repos for feisty
[07:33] <patbam> hi, im trying to ubgrade to feisty from edgy. in the "fetching and installing the upgrades" step, i got a dialog about mdadm arrays, but i didn't do anything. eventually installation seemst o have completed. should i care?
[07:33] <xipietotec> !html
[07:33] <ubotu> html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and Nvu. For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com
[07:33] <asc> tonyyarusso: I'll be looking forward to that.
[07:33] <cyzie> hello, i have split a file using split. how do i merge all them back into 1 file ?
[07:33] <RudyValencia> Hi, I'm setting up my server with ubuntu and I get the following error when I start/restart apache2: "apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName"
[07:34] <lgc> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18518/
[07:34] <patbam> er, i should care, because the upgrade didn't work O.o
[07:34] <patbam> just try again?
[07:34] <numan> !install
[07:34] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[07:34] <zcat[1] > RudyValencia: put the hostname in apache2's config, there's a line for it somewhere..
[07:34] <ep5760> can anyone help me understand why my nvidia 6800 GS vid card causes xserver errors?
[07:34] <RudyValencia> I checked httpd.conf for the presence of a "ServerName" line. No dice.
[07:34] <unix_> Why is just about every one using ubuntu?
[07:34] <Ashex|srv> ep5760, have you install nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-source?
[07:35] <zcat[1] > RudyValencia: that or /etc/hosts so it reverse-resolves
[07:35] <archville> morning
[07:35] <unix_> morning
[07:35] <crdlb> ep5760: why nvidia-kernel-source ?
[07:35] <ep5760> ashe aren't they installed by default?
[07:35] <lgc> I'm trying to get rid of acroread. What (of the pastebin I just posted) should I not delete? 'Aptitude purge acroread' doesn't seem to work.
[07:35] <Nergar> unix_, why not?
[07:35] <numan> unix: morning unix
[07:35] <Ashex|srv> unix_, it presents a more gradual learning curve then other distributions
[07:35] <patbam> numan, not sure if that !install was directed at me, but it doesn't mention mdadm there
[07:35] <crdlb> Ashex|srv: I mean
[07:35] <crdlb> why nvidia-kernel-source
[07:35] <Ashex|srv> ep5760, nope, they are proprietary drivers
[07:35] <crdlb> ?
[07:35] <unix_> oh Isee
[07:35] <chamby> ubotu could you please pm me the link to mounting again, i had to restart

[07:36] <zcat[1] > that link?
[07:36] <ep5760> one reason i'm not sure that's the problem is my nvidia motherboard with onboard video runs feisty just fine

[07:36] <numan> patbam: not at you i am also looking for help
[07:36] <crdlb> ep5760:  did you use the restricted manager?

[07:37] <lgc> Can someone help me with this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18518/ ?

[07:38] <Ashex|srv> ep5760, as crdlb said, try the restricted package manager
[07:38] <gesus> is it possible to add an shortcut to a web address in a normal ubuntu folder??
[07:38] <Ashex|srv> I forgot I'm in #ubuntu and not #kubuntu :P
[07:38] <RudyValencia> ok, fixed

[07:39] <numan> Geoffrey2: you shouldbe missing some plugins for totem player
[07:39] <tonyyarusso> asc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WaitingForNvuFeisty
[07:39] <nevermind> hi all
[07:40] <Geoffrey2> numan, I'm not using totem, I'm using vlc...at least that's what I'm trying at present.......
[07:40] <asc> Heh...
[07:40] <ichmario> Hi everyone
[07:41] <ericu> ichmario: hi
[07:41] <gesus> is it possible to add an shortcut to a web address in a normal ubuntu folder??  for example, say i wanted to add an icon on the desktop which linked to "www.ubuntu.com" ??
[07:41] <numan> geoffrey2: have you installed the whole package of vlc including additional plugins?
[07:41] <ichmario> I come here because my ubuntu installation failed
[07:41] <asc> I'll edit myself into that when I've got time tomorrow
[07:41] <ichmario> the partitions table, in that step the installer told me that it was not possible to write the changes on the disk
[07:42] <ichmario> and then, nothing
[07:42] <ichmario> could someone please tell me what is it that i'mg doing wrong
[07:42] <patbam> so should i leave this "configuring mdadm" dialog with "all" or put in "none"?
[07:42] <numan> Geoffrey2: which browser  you are using to view videos?
[07:42] <TiGZ> is 600MB a good swap partition for a 30gb hdd?
[07:42] <FreeTUXforEvery1> hi
[07:43] <SuperQ> TiGZ: depends on how much ram you have
[07:43] <TiGZ> 256MB
[07:43] <guch> hello
[07:43] <FreeTUXforEvery1> can somebody help me with the internet connection sharing???
[07:43] <SuperQ> TiGZ: 256MB is fine for a desktop
[07:43] <TiGZ> ok thanks
[07:43] <SuperQ> TiGZ: 1:1 ram-swap
[07:43] <jacquesmerde> Toma-: the bug was filed in 2005! : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/24184
[07:43] <numan> TiGZ: make it as big as you can, i gave 2GB for swapfile on 20GB partition
[07:44] <asc> I'd go 512, personally.  I had 256:256, and it got a little low at times
[07:44] <SuperQ> numan: why?
[07:44] <guch> any known workarounds for the mouse bug in feisty?
[07:44] <SuperQ> numan: waste of space
[07:44] <ichmario> please help
[07:44] <crdlb> guch: "the mouse bug" ?
[07:44] <Toma-> jacquesmerde: damn! :S
[07:44] <guch> ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/108382 )
[07:44] <SuperQ> numan: if you're swaping that much, you're running too much stuff
[07:44] <asc> Although I tend to use more memory than a normal desktop
[07:44] <gesus> hello.  i've searched google but couldn't really find anything helpful. this is pretty much a n00b question --> is it possible to add an shortcut to a web address in a normal ubuntu folder??  for example, say i wanted to add an icon on the desktop which linked to "www.ubuntu.com" ??
[07:44] <numan> SuperQ: bcoz i read somewhere that swapfile works as physical ram for linux
[07:44] <TiGZ> if i was dial booting and using grub as the boot loader shoudl i have the windows partition first or the linux..?
[07:44] <Geoffrey2> ok, vlc...i have libvlc0, vlc, vlc-nox, and mozilla-plugin-vlc all installed
[07:44] <TiGZ> i would presume linux
[07:45] <guch> crdlb: yep, supposedly it's a kernel bug
[07:45] <FreeTUXforEvery1> i have an internet connection in ubuntu with the speedtouch 330 modem and i want to share with a winxp and puppy linux computer.
[07:45] <Geoffrey2> and I'm using Firefox <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:45] <SuperQ> numan: it works just like a paging file works in any OS
[07:45] <patbam> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/79204/comments/6 how can i install that fix?
[07:45] <asc> gesus: You could make a launcher that runs something like 'firefox www.website.com', not sure about the exact syntax though
[07:45] <SuperQ> numan: the "when to swap" is a bit different, nothing near as stupid as windows
[07:45] <ichmario> HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
[07:46] <jacquesmerde> Toma-: could be fixed for gutsy though???: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SimpleSambaIntegrationSpec
[07:46] <SuperQ> numan: Mem:       2066820     908720    1158100          0     118536     373612

[07:46] <dustin> everything went good with enabling the driver
[07:46] <asc> (probably, anyway.  I haven't tried it, but it ought to work....)
[07:46] <SuperQ> I use no swap at all.. but I have 2GB ram in my laptop :)
[07:46] <dustin> now I want to get my dvd stuff to work
[07:46] <christof> Hello
[07:46] <Toma-> jacquesmerde: would be nice. see my blueprint here on the bigger problem :) https://blueprints.launchpad.net/launchpad/+spec/launchpad-voting-system
[07:47] <numan> Geoffrey2: try other plugins also look for it by typing "apt-cache search vlc"
[07:47] <dustin> how do i do that
[07:47] <christof> Someone know how copied all file beginning by 200704 in all the system in 1 folders?
[07:47] <gesus> asc, thankyou. where could i find the exact syntax?
[07:47] <lgc> There's a way to tune the 'swappiness', or the OS's craving for swap space...
[07:47] <SuperQ> numan: my old 1GB ram server hsa 1.25 GB of swap. .it's using < 20MB right now
[07:47] <ep5760> ashe i did the sudo apt get install for both nvidia glx and nvidia kernel source, still failure to start xserver error message
[07:47] <SuperQ> lgc: yes, I think there is some tuning for that these days
[07:48] <dustin> does anyone know how to get dvds to work in uuntu
[07:48] <crdlb> ep5760: can you get the actual error message?
[07:48] <SuperQ> lgc: http://kerneltrap.org/node/3000
[07:48] <crdlb> ep5760: something about a kernel x module version mismatch or something?
[07:48] <lgc> SuperQ, that 's exactly the same page I was lookng...
[07:48] <numan> SuperQ: i got plenty of space to give so i did it, But if you are insisting that much then i will change it to?
[07:48] <jacquesmerde> Toma-: the even bigger problem here is that people don't file bugs. i'm sure they would if they already had a launchpad account, but they just don't sign up. i imagine even LESS people would sign up for the voting
[07:49] <Geoffrey2> the only other plugins available are video output plugins (arts, esd, ggi, glide, sdl, and svga)
[07:49] <ep5760> crdlb the error is VESA: no matching device section for instance, gives a busid
[07:49] <TiGZ> Layout:    23Gb Ext3 Ubuntu (Flagged as boot)    1GB Swap File      7GB NTFS Win2k
[07:49] <Toma-> jacquesmerde: having a voting system would give people an incentive to file bugs and get things they want passed
[07:49] <ep5760> also says cannot read V_BIOS
[07:49] <gesus> hello helpers --> what is the syntax i would need to make a link to a web address in a folder. like say i wanted to add a link to www.google.com on my ubuntu desktop?
[07:50] <numan> Geoffrey2: Do you know the file extension you are viewing on imdb website?
[07:50] <crdlb> ep5760: sudo nvidia-xconfig -pcritical xserver-xorg; sudo nvidia-xconfig
[07:50] <crdlb> whoops
[07:50] <Parmenion> hey guys =)
[07:50] <SuperQ> lgc: google is my friend
[07:50] <Toma-> jacquesmerde: for instance, id vote for your samba bug. not long ago i had to LAN with a bunch of windows users and when i couldnt get a samba share working easy, they all bagged me out
[07:50] <aeonix> how are yall
[07:50] <crdlb> ep5760: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg; sudo nvidia-xconfig
[07:50] <FunnyLookinHat> gesus, create a launcher, and for the command do "firefox http://www.website.com"
[07:50] <TiGZ> Is the update from Ubuntu 5.10 to 6.10 smaller then is you were downloading the iso disc?
[07:50] <lgc> christof, can you clarify what you want? You certainly are not asking about 'cp 200704* somedir/' are you?
[07:51] <crdlb> ep5760: run that command (the fixed one :))
[07:51] <gesus> FunnyLookinHat, thankyou i will try that cheers
[07:51] <lgc> SuperQ, mine too!
[07:51] <SuperQ> numan: eh, if it works for you, why bother changing it :)
[07:51] <FunnyLookinHat> gesus, no problem dude
[07:51] <ep5760> alrighty, i'll see if the command line interface still works for me
[07:51] <jacquesmerde> Toma-: aahhh, hurt pride. the great motivation for technological improvement
[07:51] <Toma-> :)
[07:51] <SuperQ> numan: look at things like 'free' to see swap usage
[07:52] <Geoffrey2> numan, Windows Media, 320 x 136
[07:52] <kalpik> join #linux-india
[07:52] <grndslm> anybody gotta better recommendation for a usb OS besides damn small linux??
[07:52] <SuperQ> numan: and 'vmstat 1' to see if you are swapping a lot
[07:52] <numan> SuperQ: bcoz i am not running that much stuff,only using it as a desktop pc
[07:52] <Toma-> grndslm: slax
[07:52] <TiGZ> I am still deciding whether to upgrade to 6.10 or 7.10  on a low end laptop. :|
[07:52] <SuperQ> numan: look at the si/so (swap-in/swap-out) columns in vmstat
[07:52] <crdlb> TiGZ: newer releases are faster
[07:53] <crdlb> gnome uses less memory in 7.04 than it did in 6.10
[07:53] <TiGZ> crdlb: but bigger to download
[07:53] <FreeTUXforEvery1> salut
[07:53] <FreeTUXforEvery1> am o problema
[07:53] <SuperQ> TiGZ: you could also try out xfce
[07:53] <SuperQ> (xubuntu)
[07:53] <FreeTUXforEvery1> cum pot sa fac share in ubuntu?
[07:53] <crdlb> TiGZ: why?
[07:53] <TiGZ> yeah ive been looking at that
[07:53] <numan> Geoffrey2: do you installed the wmv plugin?
[07:53] <SuperQ> it uses a lot less ram than gnome, but the UI is different/less-functional
[07:53] <crdlb> is it more to download?
[07:53] <DanaG> Oh yeah, where should I go to report that assertion failure with PulseAudio and .asoundrc?
[07:54] <TiGZ> crdlb: My internetz hasn't been upgraded to ADSL 2+ yet
[07:54] <gesus> FunnyLookinHat, em this might sound stupid, but how do i 'create a launcher' is that just a text document that i run as a script? how do i make it do that?
[07:54] <FreeTUXforEvery1> am modem speedtouch 330 si vreau sa fac share cu puppy linux dar nu reusesc...
[07:54] <Parmenion> gesus: for gnome ?
[07:54] <numan> SuperQ: its all zeros
[07:54] <gesus> Parmenion, yep
[07:54] <DanaG> I need my LFE Crossover LADSPA with pulseaudio!
[07:54] <crdlb> TiGZ: the 7.04 and 6.10 cd's are the same size
[07:54] <TiGZ> ok.
[07:54] <catid> how do you set processor affinity on the commandline again?
[07:55] <ep5760> crdlb: thanks, whatever that last pair of commands worked perfectly
[07:55] <TiGZ> Recommended specs are 256MB of ram and a 2gb hdd... nice
[07:55] <Parmenion> well gesus, right click and select what you want; thats for the applications from the menus
[07:55] <SuperQ> TiGZ: unfortunately, you can't upgrade from to 7.04 directly without re-installing
[07:55] <TiGZ> SuperQ, ISO it is then....
[07:56] <TiGZ> Or Xubuntu. I can
[07:56] <Parmenion> other than that, rightclick on the gnome-panel and "Add to panel.."
[07:56] <TiGZ> can't decide*
[07:56] <TiGZ> Xfce has nice transparency effects doesn't it
[07:56] <MSTK> does anyone know of IM protocols (IRC, AIM, etc.) that run on the command line?
[07:56] <numan> SuperQ: its still running maybe refreshing continuosly?
[07:56] <MSTK> gaim-text doesnt' seem to be working for me
[07:57] <ep5760> crdlb: one other issue, my screen resolution won't go above 1024x768 yet i know my card and monitor is capable of 1280x1024, any suggestion on that?
[07:57] <Parmenion> TiGZ: beryl ...
[07:57] <crdlb> ep5760: use nvidia-settings
[07:57] <TiGZ> yeah
[07:57] <Geoffrey2> numan, as far as I know, vlc doesn't have any external media plugins
[07:57] <lgc> MSTK, irssi?
[07:58] <keyvin> Hayyyy guys
[07:58] <ep5760> crdlb: once again thank you very much
[07:58] <MSTK> Igc - Is that only for IRC?
[07:58] <DanaG> Oh, I found XFCE broke my keyboard settings,
[07:58] <crdlb> ep5760: np
[07:58] <TiGZ> Is there old ATI Drivers for Ubuntu?   I was unfortunately unable to get Wine working with DirectX as a consequence of this.
[07:58] <lgc> MSTK, not sure...
[07:58] <keyvin> I'm running a via c7. Anyone think compiling my own kernel with the different architecture will make a big enough difference to bother with?
[07:58] <MSTK> Igc - thanks, I'll check it out.
[07:58] <DanaG> but then when I reinstalled my system (due to Sabayon LiveCD trying to go into SUSPEND when I closed the lid during gparted), I had the same problem with Gnome.
[07:58] <crdlb> TiGZ: you have a 8500-9400 ?
[07:58] <numan> Geoffrey2: then try other movie player instead of vlc bcoz your problem is due to compatibilty.
[07:58] <keyvin> err not architecture
[07:58] <keyvin> processor setting
[07:58] <DanaG> The "evdev-managed layout" seems to be broken.
[07:58] <TiGZ> ATI Rage Mobility M1 AGP2x
[07:59] <TiGZ> (old)
[07:59] <crdlb> TiGZ: uh
[07:59] <crdlb> there were never fglrx drivers for that card
[07:59] <crdlb> and that card sucks (no offense)
[07:59] <TiGZ> its an old laptop :)
[07:59] <TiGZ> none taken :P
[07:59] <gesus> Parmenion, i have no idea what you mean? i'm just trying to create a 'shortcut' to a web address (like an icon on my desktop that opens up www.google.com).
[08:00] <phy2> gesus, cnan you drag it from firefox address bar?
[08:00] <scott_> hi Everyone, im looking for some help with changing a file from read only back to how it was..
[08:00] <crdlb> TiGZ: are you getting any 3d acceleration; as I remember it drm for that card isn't in ubuntu because it's insecure
[08:00] <crdlb> ?
[08:00] <TiGZ> crdlb: Nup
[08:00] <scott_> sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
[08:00] <Grape_Juice> scott_: "chmod +rwx <file>"
[08:00] <numan> Geoffrey2;
[08:00] <Grape_Juice> I think...
[08:00] <scott_> was what i did, to make my dns file read only..
[08:00] <numan> Geoffrey2: ?
[08:00] <crdlb> TiGZ: it uses the mach64 kernel module, which ubuntu doesn't include iirc
[08:01] <keyvin> scott: immutable? thats some juju
[08:01] <scott_> but i need the command to put it back.. :$
[08:01] <gesus> phy2, nup, that creates a text doc with the address in it
[08:01] <Grape_Juice> scott_: "man chmod"
[08:01] <Grape_Juice> :)
[08:01] <scott_> sorry for some odd reason it didnt copy correct into this chat?
[08:01] <numan> SuperQ: ?
[08:01] <therealnanotube> scott: post the output of "ls -al filename" so we can see what you've got. if it's owned by root, then you've gotta chmod with sudo. "man chmod" should set you up.
[08:01] <TiGZ> " isn't in ubuntu because it's insecure"?
[08:01] <keyvin> grape juice: won
[08:01] <Grape_Juice> 0.o
[08:01] <keyvin> He used the immutable bit
[08:01] <gesus> Parmenion, i got it now. sorry. i can do that 'create launcher' thing on the desktop
[08:02] <keyvin> not permissions
[08:02] <gesus> just couldn't do it in a folder
[08:02] <gesus> my bad
[08:02] <Adsims2001> Does anyone else here have a wlan card with an rtl818x series chipset?
[08:02] <gesus> i'm a n00b :|
[08:02] <Grape_Juice> Oh...I sucky.
[08:02] <Grape_Juice> Sorry. :<
[08:02] <scott_> resolv.conf
[08:02] <scott_> is the file i changed..
[08:02] <crdlb> TiGZ: the mach64 kernel module had severe security vulnerabilities (that means root-level exploit)
[08:02] <scott_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224861&highlight=losing+dns+settings
[08:02] <ichmario> how can I resize my ntfs windows partition??
[08:02] <DanaG> I have an old Netgear MA521, that seems to be r818x.
[08:02] <scott_> has the command i did...
[08:02] <Adsims2001> Did you ever have problems with it in Ubuntu?
[08:03] <crdlb> but it's not capable of much even with that kernel module
[08:03] <gesus> Parmenion, phy2 -- thanks for your hep
[08:03] <Parmenion> gesus oh :P i wasnt sure what you exactly meant . alright, a moment to collect my thoughts the
[08:03] <DanaG> I thought it was broken with native drivers, but then I tried it in Vista with Vista's own drivers.
[08:03] <gesus> *Help
[08:03] <TiGZ> DirectDraw is a pretty basic interface.
[08:03] <DanaG> It didn't work there either.  I installed Netgear's drivers -- still didn't work.  I used ndiswrapper again -- still didn't work.
[08:03] <Adsims2001> DanaG, i've been having severe problems with mine made by D-Link... The default drivers before 7.04 (They're blacklisted) are very buggy and unmaintained
[08:03] <DanaG> It turned out the cards was just ludicrously weak.
[08:03] <keyvin> scott: try chattr -i resolv.conf
[08:03] <ichmario>  how can I resize my ntfs windows partition??
[08:03] <keyvin> scott: as root
[08:04] <DanaG> Just try ndiswrapper, if you must.
[08:04] <Geoffrey2> ya know, for months now I've been working with this, convincing myself that I was getting a much better system by getting rid of Microsoft....but there comes a point, when I spend countless hours fighting the operating system, configuring this, tweaking that, trying to get it to do things Windows does out of the box without a problem....and I have to start asking myself, is this really worth it?
[08:04] <keyvin> err sudo
[08:04] <Adsims2001> I tried that, just ten minutes ago
[08:04] <DanaG> This was a cardbus card.
[08:04] <DanaG> Hmm.
[08:04] <Adsims2001> Mine is PCI.
[08:04] <scott_> Keyvin - sorry im bery newbe, yea as sudo i think..
[08:04] <Adsims2001> Ha, this workstation will crash any minute now due to those drivers ;_;
[08:04] <scott_> network manager is having a pissy coz the file is read only..
[08:04] <DanaG> ndis, or native?
[08:04] <Adsims2001> The natives.
[08:05] <Parmenion> gesus: now, you just need to put in "firefox yourweblink"
[08:05] <keyvin> Geoffrey: Use windows. Its not worth the hassle, and you wouldn't notice the difference anyways
[08:05] <gesus> Parmenion, thankyou !!
[08:05] <Parmenion> i hate lag.
[08:05] <Adsims2001> the problem is that the rtl8180 chipset *sucks* and no one has the hardware to debug the drivers, or for that matter, no one really cares. Ha
[08:05] <Parmenion> and i hate wireless
[08:05] <_3fg> How can I make it so my damn laptop touchpad doesn't click every time I accidentally touch it?
[08:05] <Adsims2001> I also hate wireless, but I don't have a choice, it's the only option ;_;
[08:06] <DanaG> Signal range with ipw3945: oh, at least 25 or 50 yards.  With the M521 cardbus, it's about 10.
[08:06] <Parmenion> gesus: =)
[08:06] <Parmenion> Adsims2001: ive got no choice here as well ... ive ran out of ethernet wire
[08:06] <Adsims2001> I do have a few other cards I could use, anyway. I think i'll just try those instead of dealing with this one.
[08:06] <dustin> can someone plz tell me what to do to get dvds wrking in ubuntu 6.06 lts
[08:06] <DanaG> odd NetworkManager bug I have on my wired cardL
[08:06] <_3fg> How can I make it so my damn laptop touchpad doesn't click every time I accidentally touch it?
[08:07] <keyvin> dustin: google for easybuntu
[08:07] <DanaG> It shows my IP as <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:07] <Adsims2001> You could try iwconfig
[08:07] <dustin> what is that
[08:07] <bastidraZor> buy a MacBook Pro instead of that cheap Dell
[08:07] <Parmenion> Adsims2001: you cant get your wireless to work ?
[08:07] <Adsims2001> it's network manager from the command line
[08:07] <keyvin> dustin: It is a very simple installer with directions for setting up software that has IP restrictions
[08:07] <matrix> hi
[08:07] <Adsims2001> Parmenion: It works, but has severe bugs like crashing the whole system
[08:07] <DanaG> No broadcom here!
[08:07] <Adsims2001> if i try to start a torrent or download more than one file at a time
[08:07] <Adsims2001> and sometimes just randomly
[08:08] <keyvin> IP==Intellectual Property
[08:08] <thesmiler> how the great googly moogly do i update firefox???
[08:08] <scott_> what file permissions should the file resolv.conf  have by default?
[08:08] <sanityx> Whats the command to grow ext2/ext3 partitions?
[08:08] <_3fg> How can I make it so my damn touchpad doesn't click every time I accidentally touch it?
[08:08] <Adsims2001> the problem is an old, unmaintained driver for the r818x series by realtek
[08:08] <matrix> ~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1/
[08:08] <matrix> mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member
[08:08] <keyvin> scott_: try 644
[08:08] <scott_> and the sudo command to run to change it back to its default rights..
[08:08] <Adsims2001> so i don't reccomend using cards with that chipset with ubuntu.
[08:08] <matrix> somebody know about lvm?
[08:08] <scott_> full command?
[08:08] <Parmenion> Adsims2001: O.o thats weird ... manufacturer ? have you tried ndiswrapper ?
[08:08] <grndslm> _3fg:  stop bumping things that don't need to be bumped
[08:08] <keyvin> scott: "sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf"
[08:08] <keyvin> then permessions
[08:08] <Adsims2001> Yeah, I tried NDISwrapper a little bit but I should play around with it a bit more before I give up.
[08:08] <scott_> :) thank u so much :F
[08:08] <keyvin> scott: Follow this by
[08:08] <scott_> ::D
[08:09] <Parmenion> Adsims2001: have you tried ndiswrapper ?
[08:09] <keyvin> "sudo chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf"
[08:09] <nick_name> anyone know how to start the Main Menu via the console?
[08:09] <_3fg> grndslm: I'm just frustrated, I've been asking for the last few days
[08:09] <thesmiler> i'm using dapper, and downloaded the latest firefox in a tar.gz which I unpacked...
[08:09] <Adsims2001> you can figure out what the name of your panel executable is by doing a "ps -e | grep panel"
[08:09] <Adsims2001> if panel is in the name at least
[08:09] <thesmiler> but i have NFI what to do with it. it refers to installation instructions on the firefox website but there are NONE
[08:10] <grndslm> _3fg:  if you have a synaptics touchpad like me, you can type "man synaptics" at the command line to get a list of mouse pad features available for that driver
[08:10] <_3fg> ok
[08:10] <DanaG> Turn on SHMConfig (google it with the word Synaptics) and install gsynaptics.
[08:10] <grndslm> yea
[08:10] <DanaG> That's plural, gsynaptics.
[08:11] <thesmiler> anyone? :(
[08:11] <Parmenion> thesmiler: what is the problem ?
[08:11] <grndslm> NFI??
[08:11] <grndslm> what's that?
[08:11] <TiGZ> crdlb: So ill just upgrade to 6.10 (because i have 5.10 installed) and just play games on the Win2k partition .
[08:11] <nick_name> great, thanks! it looks like it's called gnome-panel.
[08:11] <Adsims2001> Well I'm about to install an ssh server so I'd better leave. Don't want my system to crash ;-;
[08:11] <thesmiler> i'd tell you but i'm not allowed to say certain words in here, grndslm
[08:11] <Parmenion> thesmiler: have you installed build-essential ?
[08:11] <grndslm> ahhh
[08:11] <thesmiler> i'll check
[08:11] <DanaG> Time for bed.
[08:12] <DanaG> Bye.
[08:12] <TiGZ> Night.
[08:12] <SuperQ> TiGZ: I would just go directly to 7.04
[08:12] <SuperQ> TiGZ: but that's me :)
[08:12] <Parmenion> you need it to compile programs from source thesmiler
[08:12] <crdlb> TiGZ: I'd do a clean install to 7.04
[08:12] <scott_> The network settings window never likes to open it will open but takes its time and the window is just blank gray till it dose.. the log shows the following : May  1 18:10:53 scott-laptop gconfd (root-7086): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0
[08:12] <TiGZ> but then i need to download the iso :S
[08:12] <numan> Geoffrey2: u still there?
[08:12] <crdlb> TiGZ: so?
[08:12] <Parmenion> after that, its a simple make uninstall, make , make install
[08:12] <thesmiler> so i need to compile it? why the hell isn't it available over the package manager?
[08:12] <numan> SuperQ: i was looking for you
[08:12] <TiGZ> crdlb: Internetz are not the best thing where i am :)
[08:13] <crdlb> TiGZ: that's half as much downloading as going from 5.10 to 6.10
[08:13] <thesmiler> but where do i make uninstall?
[08:13] <crdlb> TiGZ: because you have to go through 6.06
[08:13] <TiGZ> But
[08:13] <Geoffrey2> numan, ok, removed totem plugin, installed totem xine and totem mozilla plugin
[08:13] <TiGZ> i can just go to 6.06 though
[08:13] <scales11> hello, well i just installed wcid and i want to remove it, i downloaded the deb file and i do not see it in the add/remove program manager, suggestions?

[08:13] <numan> SuperQ: i got all the zeros
[08:13] <_3fg> does Kubuntu use xorg.conf too?
[08:13] <scales11> hello, well i just installed wcid and i want to remove it, i downloaded the deb file and i do not see it in the add/remove program manager, suggestions?
[08:14] <crdlb> TiGZ: at the least you need to upgrade to 6.06, but a fresh install to 7.04 would use the same amount of bandwidth
[08:14] <numan> Geoffrey2: so your problem solved?
[08:14] <Parmenion> scales11: dont repeat !
[08:14] <Parmenion> scales11: try synaptics ... its there. trust me
[08:14] <scales11> sorry i didnt think it got sent since someone else sent a bunch of other things
[08:14] <Geoffrey2> now I'm getting a white box with a big red X in the middle of it
[08:14] <scales11> synaptics?
[08:14] <dustin> ok i installed that should i beable to play dvds now
[08:14] <keyvin> dustin: run it
[08:14] <TiGZ> crdlb: Transparency needs video drivers in xfce doesnt it?
[08:14] <Parmenion> scales11: synaptics package manager
[08:14] <keyvin> dustin: and look for an option to install propreitary codecs
[08:15] <dustin> i don't see it in my menu
[08:15] <hikyuu_> has anyone had any experience with Beryl? its kinda effing up my Workspaces, and the people at beryl seem to be asleep :/
[08:15] <keyvin> dustin: look under system
[08:15] <dustin> k
[08:15] <numan> Geoffrey2: can you give me the url to view that clip to see if it happen to me?
[08:15] <crdlb> TiGZ: you need some hardware acceleration
[08:15] <crdlb> nv won't cut it for example
[08:15] <underwatercow> does anyone know how to set up a webcam? I understand gaim dropped any support they might have had a couple years back. Is there an alternative to communicate easily with msn/yahoo/aim users on webcam?
[08:15] <TiGZ> "Some"
[08:15] <_3fg> hikyuu_: I've USED beryl, but I can't promis to be any help
[08:15] <crdlb> TiGZ: you need 3d drivers
[08:15] <Parmenion> scales11: system->administration->synaptic->search for synaptic

[08:16] <keyvin> or, in a terminal sudo easyubuntu
[08:16] <hikyuu_> _3fg i just cant seem to get beryl to run 4 workspaces, instead it acts as tho i have 8, making the cube an octagon, i know its silly to freak about, but it bugs me
[08:16] <dustin> i don't see it uder system it said it installed successfully
[08:16] <pipegeek> Howdy.  Running feisty here.  I'm wondering if there's any way to force gnome-vfs to use port 139 when connecting to an SMB share---port 451 is firewalled, and so it has to time out in its attempt to connect on that port before every operation.
[08:16] <pipegeek> Leastways, I think that's what's happening :^)
[08:16] <Geoffrey2> about: plugins is showing libtotem-gmp-plugin.so installed
[08:16] <keyvin> dustin_: then in a terminal "sudo easyubuntu"
[08:16] <_3fg> hikyuu_ Open the beryl control center and change the number of workspaces

[08:17] <TiGZ> Crdlb: the file is an   "ati.2" file :S
[08:17] <keyvin> dustin_: Also, if your in the USA, your committing a felony by watching a DVD under linux
[08:18] <_3fg> hikyuu_:, hm, I don't know then. Maybe restart?
[08:18] <hikyuu_> _3fg: did that
[08:18] <pipegeek> Or is this a #gnome question
[08:18] <numan> Geoffrey2: i also got error " Cant parse that no files" so i think its not your fault maybr they dont support linux os
[08:18] <hikyuu_> _3fg: i even set it and ubuntu down to 1 desktop, still thinks 8
[08:18] <zylthinking> how can I change font color here?
[08:19] <keyvin> hey, does the kernel source package just download a tarball to /usr/src?
[08:19] <grndslm> so what else is illegal to do under linux in the us??  ...DVDs & w32codecs??  is this it?
[08:19] <crdlb> TiGZ: the gatos drivers are not going to work on latest Xorg afaik
[08:19] <hikyuu_> _3fg: did i just really break Beryl? :'(
[08:19] <_3fg> hikyuu_: do you have multiple instances of Beryl running? It did that to me a lot
[08:19] <TiGZ> 5.10 xorg?
[08:19] <hikyuu_> lol
[08:19] <hikyuu_> how can i tell? it only shows 1 diamond in the corner
[08:19] <variant> hikyuu_: are you using beryl-manager?
[08:20] <variant> hikyuu_: nm
[08:20] <hikyuu_> O.o

[08:20] <underwatercow> webcams? anyone?
[08:20] <underwatercow> no?
[08:20] <Geoffrey2> grndslm, actually, it's not illegal to watch DVDs under linux, the problem is nobody has bothered to put out a licensed DVD decoder, as of yet
[08:20] <variant> underwatercow: if you have a question
[08:21] <variant> underwatercow: just ask it
[08:21] <underwatercow> I did

[08:21] <PWill> Is the Dell news official?
[08:21] <variant> underwatercow: so is see actually
[08:21] <pressureman> is anyone familiar with the problem of no hardware timers detected with ubuntu amd64?
[08:21] <hikyuu_> variant: i think hes right, i might have two running, i turned off Beryl but its still acting as if i have it on
[08:21] <grndslm> Geoffrey2: so i can watch DVDs legally, it's just not "supported" by anybody?
[08:21] <underwatercow> !ask | underwatercow

[08:22] <killermach_> I have installed the nvidia restricted drivers

[08:26] <agentnewb> I just wanted to ask how come ubuntu never comes with headphone support?
[08:26] <variant> !synaptics | _3fg

[08:26] <PrimoTurbo> I'm having an issue booting into Ubuntu after install, Ubuntu just hangs, recovery console shows that it stops at loading at drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c v2.6:USB HID core driver
[08:26] <dibblego> variant, how do I do that exactly? or, is there a document on that?
[08:26] <shadowsong> how can we view channel members here?
[08:26] <underwatercow> variant: thanks... that's an interesting wiki
[08:26] <PrimoTurbo> I tried to reinstall with a different cd and the same problem using 7.04
[08:26] <variant> agentnewb: it does, worked out of the box for me. you probably just need to raise the volume in the sound mixer
[08:26] <hikyuu_> lol... they all forgot about me X,x
[08:26] <zylthinking> :quit
[08:26] <PrimoTurbo> pls I need a way to fix this!!! What's odd is that I installed 7.04 a few days before and it worked! Now the same cd and new cds don't work there is a problem
[08:26] <variant> dibblego: if you right click the panel and select add to panel you can select the keymap switcher applet
[08:26] <shadowsong> i am using xchat, how can we see members in channel?
[08:26] <agentnewb> variant: nope it lists pcm and master no headphone channel
[08:27] <zylthinking> what is the quit command?
[08:27] <variant> dibblego: or you can select the option from the settings menu
[08:27] <crdlb> shadowsong: xchat or xchat-gnome ?
[08:27] <variant> agentnewb: what sound card?
[08:27] <shadowsong> xchat
[08:27] <dibblego> variant, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard?
[08:27] <variant> agentnewb: what mixer are you useing also?
[08:27] <variant> dibblego: yes
[08:27] <dibblego> ah thanks
[08:27] <shadowsong> crdlb xchat
[08:27] <r3dEYEj4CKAL> Hello
[08:27] <variant> dibblego: add the switcher applet too, it's handy for switching on the fly
[08:27] <crdlb> shadowsong: then just drag the sidebar on the right side to the left, to open it

[08:28] <TiGZ> SuperQ, so if i went to 7.04 woult it last or will 8.xx be released some time soon?
[08:28] <dibblego> variant, I must be blind
[08:28] <variant> agentnewb: what mixer are you using?
[08:28] <dibblego> variant, Character Palette?
[08:28] <shadowsong> crdlb: wow thanks, sorry i am stupid
[08:28] <r3dEYEj4CKAL> I'm hoping that someone in here can help me with an issue, I might be screwed completely though seeing as how my motherboard and all that jazz is AMD64.
[08:28] <killermach_> PrimoTurbo: do you have any memcards in the USB?
[08:28] <Flannel> TiGZ: Releases are every six months.  The next will be 7.10 (in october), then 8.04 will be released in april
[08:28] <variant> dibblego: it's ok, many times people insist that something is impossible etc in ubuntu when the option is just sitting in the menu
[08:28] <hikyuu_> sigh... atleast i didnt pay 100$ for this headache..
[08:28] <hikyuu_> lol
[08:28] <variant> dibblego: they just didn't look :)
[08:28] <TiGZ> ok so about a year.
[08:28] <variant> dibblego: keyboard layout is what your looking for
[08:28] <crdlb> TiGZ: if you want to limit the amount of upgrading, use the LTS releases
[08:28] <PrimoTurbo> No I have no memcards.
[08:29] <crdlb> 6.06 is the current one
[08:29] <variant> dibblego: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:29] <TiGZ> Long term support
[08:29] <dibblego> variant, 6.06.1 there is Keyboard Indicator
[08:29] <TiGZ> 7.04 isnt LTS.
[08:29] <ubunku> who is linux? why my friend's in love with it?
[08:29] <r3dEYEj4CKAL> My video card is a Radeon Xpress200 and the resolution is stuck at 640x480, anyone have any idea how I can get my video card to be copasetic with Ubuntu?
[08:29] <hikyuu_>  can i reinstall Beryl?
[08:29] <DShepherd> ubunku, ask your friend...
[08:29] <variant> dibblego: add the keyboard indicater
[08:29] <TiGZ> because linux is the master of the world.
[08:29] <variant> hikyuu_: that won't make any difference
[08:29] <ubunku> :)
[08:29] <dibblego> variant, righto cheers
[08:29] <crdlb> TiGZ: 7.04 will be supported for 18 months
[08:29] <variant> hikyuu_: how are you starting it?
[08:30] <variant> hikyuu_: killalll beryl as before and just run beryl-manager
[08:30] <TiGZ> Wow...more then a year :)
[08:30] <PrimoTurbo> I tried disabling usb from bios but it did nothing
[08:30] <TiGZ>  Ubuntu 7.04 - Supported to 2008   Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - Supported to 2009
[08:30] <variant> hikyuu_: beryl won't run more than once so that can't be the problem afaik
[08:30] <hikyuu_> variant: i ran a install tutorial thats supposed to make it run on start up
[08:30] <variant> hikyuu_: ahh
[08:30] <crdlb> TiGZ: and 6.06 is supported for double that, but a year of it is already gone
[08:30] <variant> hikyuu_: all you have to do is run beryl-manager and save your session
[08:30] <hikyuu_> ...?
[08:31] <crdlb> TiGZ: so dapper will be supported 6 mo. longer than feisty
[08:31] <TiGZ> k

[08:31] <r3dEYEj4CKAL> Am I just completely screwed?
[08:31] <ericu> Hi all, I'm having trouble with Eclipse recognizing my java
[08:31] <PrimoTurbo> I think it's an issue with the kernel in 7.04 is there anyway to some how use a different kernel?
[08:31] <hikyuu_> variant: wont that... /not/ fix the problem?
[08:31] <dibblego> variant, so I add a new layout to US English, correct?
[08:31] <variant> hikyuu_: what?
[08:31] <agentnewb> r3dEYEj4CKAL: yes you are now bend over and shut up
[08:32] <variant> dibblego: yes,

[08:32] <TiGZ> Agh now its down to Xubuntu or Ubuntu 7.04
[08:32] <dnite> I'm curious. Will Gaim 2.0.0beta6 automatically update to pidgin (as well as the apropriate libraries) when pidgin hits the repos or will i need to uninstall gaim and install pidgin?
[08:33] <PrimoTurbo> I posted the information on the forum but no responces today :( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2570240 - Can someone give any suggestions?
[08:33] <agentnewb> how do I login to ubuntu irc server?
[08:33] <variant> dnite: it will automatically change i would think
[08:33] <variant> agentnewb: there is no ubuntu irc server
[08:33] <underwatercow> variant: why don't I see Gaim on this webcam list?
[08:33] <crdlb> agentnewb: you seem to have done that already :)
[08:34] <exsa_01> hi
[08:34] <variant> agentnewb: you are talking on the official support channel
[08:34] <crdlb> the "ubuntu irc server" is just freenode
[08:34] <dnite> variant, ok. i was thinking it might but i wasn't sure how apt handles packages that got renamed.
[08:34] <variant> underwatercow: perhaps i was wrong
[08:34] <r3dEYEj4CKAL> Thanks for finding a good answer to my question amigos. I hope that I don't screw this up too much.
[08:34] <hikyuu_> yay

[08:37] <Geoffrey2> grndslm, the problem is that the DVD encoding standard is closed source, proprietary, and patented/copyrighted...anyone wanting to make a DVD player/decoder needs to pay a licensing fee....about $10,000...a minor matter for the major software manufacturers...but for an operating system you get for free, who's going to pay the fee?
[08:38] <underwatercow> variant: thanks
[08:38] <variant> Geoffrey2: actually, the encryption is the only thing that is subject to licencing restriction
[08:39] <grndslm> variant:  so libdvdcss & libdvdread aren't included by default because...
[08:39] <grndslm> ??
[08:39] <variant> grndslm: because they allow the encryption to be bypassed
[08:39] <Geoffrey2> variant, and since basically every commercial DVD out there is encrypted...........
[08:40] <grndslm> decryption... a crime or not a crime in the u.s.?
[08:40] <Snap> everybody download Saybayon Linux .......beryl sound and wireless WORKS OUT OF THE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[08:45] <nicolasbelisle> All: [Sorry]  : Quick question: it there a tool similar to top, but for network utilization ?
[08:45] <leviac> I have a better $10,000 question, say you have a laptop, and a usb cd drive, but the laptop doesn't boot from cd drive, whats the easiest way to install? :P
[08:45] <Brade1> dunno soz
[08:45] <mvirro2000> I can run the live cd of ubuntu 6.0.6 but it doesnt appear to install to my hard drive or a boot loader, keeps booting into xp after formatting  a drive, any suggestions?
[08:45] <variant> leviac: put the hard disk into annother laptop and install from there
[08:45] <Brade1> u mean 6.06
[08:45] <Brade1> i use 7.04
[08:45] <mvirro2000> whoops

[08:47] <Geoffrey2> leviac, does the laptop have a floppy drive?
[08:47] <nicolasbelisle> Rat409 : thanks.
[08:47] <leviac> geoffrey2: aye, i have a floppy and it does boot with that
[08:47] <ericu> anyone know how to make the new java1.6 visible to eclipse?
[08:48] <bahblah> hi i found out a shortcut on gnome or X11 or w/e. I held down the left mouse button + Alt + Windows button and when i moved the mouse it drew on the screen with red marker
[08:48] <loco> hello how can i install a file name LimeWireLinux.rpm...?
[08:48] <bahblah> now I can't find out how to get rid of it
[08:48] <SeveredCross> Don't use RPM's. :)
[08:48] <SeveredCross> And get FrostWire
[08:48] <SeveredCross> Much easier.
[08:48] <Rat409> underwatercow: yes,its same project with diff name to to aol/copyright/legal issue
[08:48] <Geoffrey2> leviac, well, it would seem you could use a linux boot disk, boot up, mount the CD ROM, and then install from it
[08:48] <orasis> How do I manually edit the GDM? - What is the file again, /etc?
[08:48] <SeveredCross> To get Frostwire (which functions the same as LimeWire), just sudo apt-get install frostwire or use Synaptic/
[08:48] <loco> wassup with rpm why shouldnt i use them
[08:48] <SeveredCross> /=?
[08:48] <SeveredCross> Because RPM's aren't designed for Ubuntu.
[08:49] <SeveredCross> RPM's are designed for Red Hat boxen.
[08:49] <loco> ok
[08:49] <SeveredCross> Ubuntu uses Debian packages, .deb
[08:49] <orasis> Frostwire crashes like nuts :D
[08:49] <loco> wha is frostwire
[08:49] <underwatercow> Rat409: thanks, lol... apparently libgaim was rename to libpurple
[08:49] <SeveredCross> Not for me. ::shrugs::
[08:49] <SeveredCross> loco: An open-source clone of LimeWire.
[08:49] <loco> ok
[08:49] <orasis> If you want to convert RPMS to useable debs - get 'alien'
[08:49] <thebillywayne> !alien | loco
[08:49] <ubotu> loco: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[08:49] <SeveredCross> Looks like limewire, smells like limewire, works like limewire, but it ain't limewire.
[08:49] <SeveredCross> Alien is usable, yes, but IMHO it's a bad idea for any package.
[08:49] <orasis> Bah it's not dangerous, nonsense - as long as they are not system files.
[08:49] <SeveredCross> More hassle than it's worth if you need to remove stuff after.
[08:50] <arejay> Frostwire also dosnt filter search rults :)
[08:50] <Parmenion> btw, you cant use frostwire while using beryl
[08:50] <orasis> SeveredCross: The frostwire RPM works better than it's DEB version.
[08:50] <arejay> Parmenion: i have no problem
[08:50] <Brade1> wat will pidgin be like?
[08:50] <orasis> The DEB version for some reason always seg faults.
[08:50] <SeveredCross> I just installed FrostWire from the repos.
[08:50] <SeveredCross> Brade1: Same as Gaim?
[08:50] <orasis> Yeah I should do a repos install.. :/
[08:50] <SeveredCross> They don't have to change the interface, just the name.
[08:50] <Brade1> kk thx
[08:50] <Parmenion> arejay: in my case, i have to swap to metacity to see frostwire ... opeining it is not an issue
[08:50] <loco> ok
[08:51] <Geoffrey2> SeveredCross, since alien coverts the RPM into an installable .deb, why would removing it be any more hassle than any other .deb file?
[08:51] <orasis> Ermm so, what is the GDM file again guys? :)
[08:51] <SeveredCross> Because some of the scripts can break if I remember correctly.
[08:51] <dnite> underwatercow, ya, something about the protocol module in libgaim for some reason was called PRPL .. so they changed the name of libgaim to purple.. there was another library name change but i don't remember what it was.
[08:51] <SeveredCross> I don't remember exactly, but I've always been told to shy away from using alien if at all possible.
[08:51] <loco> i havent found frost wire in the synaptic package installer
[08:51] <orasis> Don't use Alien for system stuff, and you will be fine.
[08:51] <SeveredCross> dnite: Gaim --> Pidgin was the other name change
[08:51] <Parmenion> loco: www.frostwire.com
[08:51] <orasis> Messing up a game will not be that big of a deal, and there is more chance that it works than fail.
[08:52] <Brade1> k
[08:52] <orasis> Simply don't alien system stuff.. or important stuff and you will be find :)
[08:52] <dnite> SeveredCross, lol.. well ya.. x=) i thought there was another library or something that had a name change..
[08:52] <underwatercow> the pidgin website says the version is 1.5.0, but the gaim I have is 2.0beta6, what is the reason for this difference?
[08:52] <nicolasbelisle> Rat409/ALL : is there a tool to show the actual network utilization (%), does netstat does that ?
[08:52] <orasis> Frostwire's source works better than any package though to be honest.
[08:52] <dnite> it was the console version of gaim, i think.. that got a name change too.. don't remember what it was though
[08:53] <orasis> At least with source you can see the problem and fix it quickly, whereas with a package.. you have no idea what is going on.. - like my seg faults.
[08:53] <Parmenion> orasis: you compiled or you used the .deb package ?
[08:53] <dnite> underwatercow, 1.5.0 is the latest 'stable' release of gaim .. but the 2.0.0 beta's are pretty stable themself.
[08:53] <orasis> Parmenion: Deb package
[08:53] <orasis> When I compile it works fine
[08:53] <orasis> Im on Xubuntu though, maybe it's the distro's prob with that specific deb
[08:53] <underwatercow> why is it still called gaim on the one I have?
[08:53] <Parmenion> hmm ... i might consider compiling it myself then ... ill just poke at it now
[08:54] <Parmenion> underwatercow: becuase it isnt updated in the repos
[08:54] <Oewyn> hey, i had a quick question (well hopefull it's quick).  I accidently burnt and installed the server version of fiesty, but i realized i would need gnome.  How do i go about doing this?
[08:54] <orasis> Parmenion: Yeah, compiling is always the best way to go with programs I find.
[08:54] <orasis> I only use packs when it comes to big stuff.. like Gnome and so forth.
[08:54] <dnite> underwatercow,  cause the 1st release of pigdin just came out today as 2.0.0beta7
[08:54] <Matir> Oewyn, install ubuntu-desktop
[08:54] <underwatercow> dnite: lol... gotcha
[08:54] <Phi1> hello :)
[08:54] <Oewyn> okay lemme try that, brb
[08:54] <orasis> Oewyn: install ubuntu-desktop
[08:54] <MSTK> hey, can anyone help me restore a corrupted tarball?
[08:54] <MSTK> any tools?
[08:54] <Brade1> where can i download 2.0.0beta 7?
[08:54] <SeveredCross> Corrupted...how?
[08:54] <orasis> sudo apt-get install **** to be exact.
[08:54] <Brade1> plz hel[
[08:54] <Brade1> *help
[08:54] <SeveredCross> Brade1: There's 2.0.0 beta 7?
[08:55] <SeveredCross> I didn't know they had put it out.
[08:55] <Parmenion> orasis: lol, true ... i try to stick to standard repos for system stuff .... dont want to mess up :P
[08:55] <SeveredCross> You probably would have to compile it from source.
[08:55] <Brade1> "cause the 1st release of pigdin just came out today as 2.0.0beta7"
[08:55] <orasis> Parmenion: haha no ;)
[08:55] <dnite> Brade1, u can download the source and compile it.. or just wait a day or 2 for it to get to repos..
[08:55] <dnite> or just wait a week for the final to be released.
[08:55] <SeveredCross> If it was in the repos, update-manager would've told you about it.
[08:55] <MSTK> SeveredCross - it was a backup that I made.   I have a centrino notebook with wireless lan. Just installed Ubuntu 7.04. The interface shows in the NetworkManager, wpasupplicant is installed, but I cannot select "WPA", only "WEP" for encryption. Any ideas?
[08:56] <Parmenion> not to mention its tailored for your system
[08:56] <orasis> Brade1: It's a good thing to learn, eventually you can compile 'distinct' programs custom designed.
[08:56] <Brade1> yea alright
[08:56] <Brade1> be bak later
[08:56] <Brade1> later guys
[08:56] <orasis> later
[08:57] <killermach_> Phi1: maybe your wireless hardware is old and doens't support WPA?
[08:57] <orasis> Me too, im going to compile Frostwire - long live tarballs.
[08:57] <Phi1> no, it works in windows
[08:57] <killermach_> my vaio is this way
[08:57] <Parmenion> orasis: its a simple make type install right ?
[08:58] <Harpette> i'm considering changing perms for files in /dev/pts/ from 620 to 660 (via /etc/default/devpts); is it so risky on a personal computer? The file will be created by the modem driver when active
[08:58] <keyvin> anyone know how well the unichrom DRI manager works?
[08:58] <underwatercow> so will pidgin be in the repo pretty soon?
[08:58] <burnerx> anyone know how to setup mpd & icecast ?
[08:59] <Parmenion> i hate wireless ...
[08:59] <Parmenion> its so damn slow .... give me wired anyday .
[08:59] <Harpette> keyvin: try #xorg?
[08:59] <SeveredCross> Phi1: Select the wireless network with WPA encryption as the one to connect to, it'll ask you for its configuration and WPA will be a choice.
[08:59] <Madpilot> underwatercow, for the 7.10 release, probably
[08:59] <SeveredCross> :)
[08:59] <MSTK> does anyone know of programs that can run popular IM clients (ie, AIM, MSN) within the command line terminal?
[08:59] <Harpette> MSTK: irssi?
[08:59] <DShepherd> MSTK, yuo
[08:59] <DShepherd> yup
[08:59] <DShepherd> pidgin
[08:59] <underwatercow> Madpilot: when will that be?
[09:00] <Madpilot> underwatercow, October this year - hence 7.10 - year.month
[09:00] <MSTK> Harpette - I'm using irssi right now.  But I'm looking for AIM and MSN.
[09:00] <Harpette> MSTK: oops
[09:00] <MSTK> DShepherd - care to enlighten me?
[09:00] <leviac> anyone have an image of a ubuntu floppy boot disk laying around?
[09:00] <DShepherd> MSTK, you using ubuntu? gaim-text
[09:00] <crptx> sup
[09:00] <Rat409> MSTK: naim,pork,centericq,or use bittlbee w/irssi
[09:00] <underwatercow> Madpilot: lol, I didn't realize that the version corresponded to the month and year
[09:01] <Phi1> SeveredCross: I don't understand; I am using NetworkManager, and I can only select "Properties" when right-clicking. In this dialog there is a "Password type" combo, but it only contains two WEP entries.
[09:01] <SeveredCross> Hmm.
[09:01] <leviac>  laying around?
 MSTK, you using ubuntu? gaim-text
 sup
 MSTK: naim,pork,centericq,or use bittlbee w/irssi
 Madpilot: lol, I didn't realize that the ve
[09:01] <mugwump67> Can anyone field some general GRUB questions?
[09:01] <SeveredCross> Phi1: Left-click on the Network Manager icon in the taskbar.
[09:01] <Madpilot> underwatercow, that's where the numbers come from - 6.06 was released June/06, etc
[09:01] <SeveredCross> You should see a list of wireless networks.
[09:01] <MSTK> rat409 - thanks :)  that helps a lot
[09:01] <DShepherd> MSTK, man gaim-text for more info
[09:01] <SeveredCross> Just select the one you want to connect to and it'll ask you for any necessary information.
[09:01] <MSTK> DShepherd - for some reason gaim-text doesn't work for me.  Do I need to be using Feisty?
[09:01] <underwatercow> Madpilot: why wouldnt' repos be updated before then?
[09:01] <SeveredCross> That worked for me for WPA2 Enterprise, which is an order of complexity higher than WPA.
[09:01] <Madpilot> leviac, any actual reason you're repeating stuff at random?
[09:01] <crptx> fun
[09:01] <DShepherd> MSTK, oh.. yeah
[09:02] <Madpilot> underwatercow, no. released versions of Ubuntu only get security updates.
[09:02] <MSTK> DShepherd - I'm going to upgrade soon, anyway.  I'm going to check it out.
[09:02] <DShepherd> MSTK, no prob you do that
[09:02] <Parmenion> i would prefer a rolling release ...
[09:02] <Parmenion> the latest and greatest at my beck and call
[09:03] <mugwump67> Is it possible to install xp on a new drive and dual boot after installing ubuntu without clobbering grub?
[09:03] <SeveredCross> mugwump67: No, XP will overwrite GRUB.
[09:03] <mugwump67> thats what I thought
[09:03] <Hamm_sand> is there anyway to reset my ubuntu desktop settings to default in recovery mode?   I tried to install beryl  and i screwed myself over .... now i cant get a GUI
[09:03] <CarinArr> hey, i have a bit of a problem if anyone can help.. i had the nvidia drivers off nvidia's website installed but wanted to try the nvidia-glx-new. Uninstalled old drivers, installed package, which needless to say didn't work. so tried to remove all the nvidia stuff again which automatically removed linux-restricted-modules, and now i don't have a working nvidia OR wireless card
[09:03] <SeveredCross> You'll probably have to use a Ubuntu disk to restore grub.
[09:03] <CarinArr> any idea of solution?
[09:03] <mugwump67> so what do I do then?  whats the best way to back up my grub
[09:03] <SeveredCross> You can't back it up, there's no way
[09:03] <UberPsyX> hi, thinking of upgrading RAM on PC but dont know where the model number is, its an ASRock and its a couple of years old and has a chip on it saying SiS962Lua, anyone know how to find out?
[09:04] <Madpilot> Parmenion, there's been talk of a 'rolling release' version of Ubuntu - the infrastructure isn't in place yet, though.
[09:04] <Phi1> SeveredCross: I don't seem to have a "general" NetworkManager icon in my taskbar, only one with a tooltip saying "Wired network connection". The menu there does not feature any wlans to connect to
[09:04] <SeveredCross> Windows doesn't trash your actual GRUB bootloader, it just trashes the MBR that loads stage 2.
[09:04] <SeveredCross> Phi1: Strange.
[09:04] <SeveredCross> Is your wireless card...enabled?
[09:04] <troxor> has anyone gotten completely passwordless login working using libpam-keyring? I have installed the package, modified the pam files, and tried the gdmsetup options, but it still asks for a password (can be bypassed with <esc>, but displays it plain text!)
[09:04] <SeveredCross> (Check System --> Administration --> Network)
[09:04] <SeveredCross> It should be set to Roaming Mode.
[09:04] <kaolti> hi all
[09:04] <Harpette> CarinArr: reinstall the restricted modules?
[09:05] <kaolti> can anyone tell me how can i mount my ntfs partition so i have write acces to it?
[09:05] <Hamm_sand> can anyone help me reset my default gui settings in recovery mode?
[09:05] <Hamm_sand> i can't get into my gui...
[09:05] <Phi1> SeveredCross: When I open network settings I get three connectios. Wireless, Wired, and modem. Yes, it has roaming enabled. If I disable roaming in the properties section, I can see 4 wlans available for connection in the "network name" combo.
[09:05] <SeveredCross> Hamm_sand: Just make sure you're not booting into an XGL/Beryl session.
[09:05] <Hamm_sand> how do i do that
[09:05] <UberPsyX> hi, thinking of upgrading RAM on PC but dont know where the model number is, its an ASRock and its a couple of years old and has a chip on it saying SiS962Lua, anyone know how to find out?
[09:05] <SeveredCross> There should be a Sessions button on the login screen.
[09:05] <Harpette> Hamm_sand: what's in /var/log/X.0.log?
[09:05] <Hamm_sand> because by default it throws me into terminal
[09:05] <SeveredCross> Oh, you can't start X
[09:05] <SeveredCross> Okay, that's a different problem.
[09:06] <Hamm_sand> yeah i can't get to the login screen :/
[09:06] <SeveredCross> You probably trashed your xorg.conf with Beryl's install script.
[09:06] <Hamm_sand> yes
[09:06] <ke4nt> BACKUP MBR --> dd if=/dev/hdx of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1 | RESTORE MBR --> dd if=MBR-backup of=/dev/hdx bs=512 count=1
[09:06] <Hamm_sand> how do i edit that in terminal
[09:06] <SeveredCross> Phi1: That's really odd.
[09:06] <Hamm_sand> is there a command?
[09:06] <SeveredCross> Hamm_sand: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:06] <SeveredCross> Though it's probably just one section about Composite.
[09:06] <SeveredCross> And you'll need to restore an older backup.
[09:06] <UberPsyX> hi, thinking of upgrading RAM on PC but dont know where the model number is, its an ASRock and its a couple of years old and has a chip on it saying SiS962Lua, anyone know how to find out?
[09:06] <SeveredCross> Preferably the latest one, use ls -al to check which one it is.
[09:06] <SeveredCross> UberPsyX: Stop repeating!

[09:07] <UberPsyX> sorry lol i just gotta go in 5mins and wont be back for a couple of days
[09:07] <SeveredCross> Also, how are we supposed to know the type of RAM from a vague description of a board and a chip?
[09:07] <SeveredCross> If it's a couple years old, it's probably DDR
[09:07] <[Flux] > firestarter wont let me add any policies
[09:07] <[Flux] > everything is grayed out =/
[09:07] <SeveredCross> [Flux] : Did you run it as root?
[09:07] <UberPsyX> no i want to know how to find out which model of motherboard i have
[09:07] <SeveredCross> Oh.
[09:07] <[Flux] > i tried sudo firestarter
[09:07] <Ubuntulator> how do I open file browser as root ?
[09:07] <UberPsyX> i can find out the RAM from www.crucial.com
[09:07] <SeveredCross> Ubuntulator: gksu nautilus from a terminal.
[09:08] <UberPsyX> anyway gtg now, thanks anyway
[09:08] <Harpette> UberPsyX: do a search by FCC ID number
[09:08] <grndslm> how do i turn a script into an actual program that can be run from command line with switches & arguments?
[09:08] <SeveredCross> grndslm: chmod +x script
[09:08] <Madpilot> UberPsyX, take the side of the case off, peer around...
[09:08] <SeveredCross> Sudo as needed.
[09:08] <Rat409> [Flux] : try right-click
[09:09] <[Flux] > right click just shows show firestarter
[09:09] <mugwump67> SeveredCross:  if I reinstall grub after clobbering it with xp, my grub config will still be saved in /boot/grub/ right?  So all I really need is to be prepared to reinstall grub, I think
[09:09] <SeveredCross> mugwump67: Yep.
[09:09] <SeveredCross> You just need to get yourself to a terminal of some sort.
[09:09] <CarinArr> Harpette: yeah i get that.. but i don't get why though, as restricted modules weren't originally installed.. the wireless worked out of box
[09:09] <SeveredCross> And run grub-install hd0,0 or something like that.
[09:09] <SeveredCross> Probably just grub-install
[09:09] <mugwump67> have you heard of the "suber grub disk?"
[09:09] <Phi2> SeveredCross: Sorry, got disconnected (obviously). I left-clicked on the icon in the taskbar, like you said, and was able to connect to my networks. Thanks a lot!
[09:09] <Rat409> [Flux] : i mean in the config gui,add/remove rules
[09:09] <SeveredCross> You're welcome Phi1 .
[09:09] <mugwump67> "super grub disk"?
[09:10] <SeveredCross> *Phi2.
[09:10] <leviac> I have tried 3 different linux boot disks, I still cant access my usb cd drive, anything you guys recommend i try?
[09:10] <Harpette> CarinArr: then it's unrelated
[09:10] <[Flux] > hmm okay
[09:10] <grndslm> SeveredCross... i mean, how can i just type "newprogram SeveredCross" and have it write 20 sentences with your nick in it??  instead of typing ./newprogram...i guess my question comes more down to how to except arguments from the command line
[09:10] <CarinArr> Harpette: well it's not, as it worked perfectly before i removed them and doesn't work at all after i did;)
[09:10] <[Flux] > nope still grayed out
[09:10] <grndslm> *accept
[09:10] <SeveredCross> grndslm: You can't--if it's a script, you'll always have to do ./newprogram
[09:10] <Harpette> CarinArr: i got that, but then it sounds like it removed some other pkg than the linux-restricted modules
[09:10] <SeveredCross> It'll stilll accept commandline arguments though, I just don't know my way around Bash scripts well enough to tell you how to get them.

[09:13] <mignus> the upgrade system in ubunto do not find 6.10 or 7.04
[09:13] <variant> [Flux] : it depends how you open it
[09:13] <variant> [Flux] : it needs to be run with root privaledges
[09:13] <SeveredCross> Tommy: Uhh....Why are you asking this in #ubuntu?
[09:13] <SeveredCross> Try #mandriva if it exists.

[09:14] <idiocrash> CONGRATULATIONS ON THE DELL DEAL UBUNTU!
[09:14] <LGKeiz> Could anyone help me install ndiswrapper without internet access, and the files for it.
[09:14] <Brade1> sorry that was to the wireless comment made earlier
[09:14] <SeveredCross> r4nge: Check your BIOS.
[09:14] <Hamm_sand> ahhh
[09:14] <SeveredCross> Generally you can't disable hardware on an OS level.
[09:14] <[Flux] > hi LGKeiz im Random* from RageZone :P
[09:14] <SeveredCross> if there's a way, I don't know it.
[09:14] <Hamm_sand> SEVEREDCROSS   TYTYTY   if i was there i would make you cookies
[09:14] <Hamm_sand> you just saved me much time and effort
[09:14] <SeveredCross> Mmm cookies.
[09:14] <SeveredCross> No problem Hamm_sand. :)
[09:15] <LGKeiz> hi flux
[09:15] <LGKeiz> lol
[09:15] <SeveredCross> Woah, woah woah.

[09:15] <Hamm_sand> rofl
[09:15] <Hamm_sand> j/k
[09:15] <LGKeiz> Could anyone help me install ndiswrapper without internet access, and the files for it. >_>;
[09:15] <idiocrash> Seriously, did you guys hear that dell will be distributing ubuntu?
[09:15] <r4nge> SeveredCross: but can't i just disable it in ubuntu?
[09:15] <SeveredCross> Not that I know of r4nge.
[09:15] <[Flux] > LGKeiz do you have the DVD ?
[09:15] <SeveredCross> How do you propose to disable hardware on the kernel level?
[09:16] <Brade1> has beta 7 for pidgin actually been relased to download yet or not?
[09:16] <Wriest> why when I click on beryl to start the cube effect, it moves sooo slow
[09:16] <LGKeiz> I have the live CD
[09:16] <SeveredCross> Brade1: It has.
[09:16] <LGKeiz> I already tried
[09:16] <r4nge> so in my bios i should look to disable the pci slots that the hardware is using?
[09:16] <SeveredCross> I just downloaded the source code.
[09:16] <SeveredCross> And compiled it.
[09:16] <SeveredCross> And I'm running it.
[09:16] <SeveredCross> r4nge: Or just an option to disable it plain out.
[09:16] <SeveredCross> My BIOS has the option to disable my wireless card.
[09:16] <LGKeiz> Inserted the CD -> and went to the SPM and searched for ndis
[09:16] <LGKeiz> didnt find anything
[09:16] <[Flux] > the only way other than the DVD would be to download it on another computer and transfer over lan lol
[09:16] <r4nge> ok, will check
[09:17] <LGKeiz> yes, thats fine.
[09:17] <Wriest> why when I click on beryl to start the cube effect, it moves sooo slow?
[09:17] <SeveredCross> Wriest: Do you have direct rendering working?
[09:17] <Wriest> where is that located
[09:17] <SeveredCross> To check, open a terminal, type in glxinfo | grep direct
[09:17] <LGKeiz> I just need the correct files or deb or whatever
[09:17] <SeveredCross> If you see "yes", then you do.
[09:17] <Wriest> I'm new sry
[09:17] <LGKeiz> so i can install it
[09:17] <SeveredCross> LGKeiz: Download them on another computer onto a pen drive.
[09:17] <SeveredCross> Make sure you have all of its dependencies though.
[09:17] <LGKeiz> np.. but which files?
[09:17] <LGKeiz> Because I have them from the sourceforge page
[09:17] <SeveredCross> You'll have to find out on packages.ubuntu.com
[09:17] <mignus> anybody want to help me get from 6.06 to 7.04 or do i have to go back to win xp
[09:17] <LGKeiz> but I can't make install em :P

[09:18] <LGKeiz> already did, but.. do I download the orginal's or.. the diff file?
[09:18] <Parmenion_> Spliffster: unsure ... sorry
[09:18] <Harpette> Hamm_sand: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:18] <SeveredCross> Or use the alternate CD.

[09:18] <Wriest> do I type all of this glxinfo | grep direct

[09:22] <Wriest> so there's nothing I can do to speed it up?
[09:22] <SeveredCross> mignus: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:22] <SeveredCross> Replace any "dapper" with "edgy"
[09:22] <mignus> got help on the danish ubuntu irc channel
[09:22] <Hamm_sand> brb gotta switch pcs to paste
[09:22] <SeveredCross> Then do sudo update-manager -c -d or something like that.
[09:22] <LGKeiz> bbs :)
[09:22] <SeveredCross> Once you're done updating to Edgy, replace "edgy" with "feisty" in /etc/apt/sources.list and repeat the update-manager bit.
[09:23] <SeveredCross> Then you should be all set.
[09:23] <SeveredCross> Wriest: I really have no idea why glxinfo crashes.
[09:23] <Wriest> I have ubuntu with beryl 6.10
[09:23] <SeveredCross> Do you have the nVidia drivers installed?
[09:23] <SeveredCross> Eek, 6.10 with Beryl.
