[07:54] <bruenig> type that in the terminal
[07:54] <rsl> Guitarhero11: should I backup my current config? And, if so, how?
[07:54] <gnomefreak> install*
[07:54] <fyrestrtr> Chrisms: find the ip address of the network card that is connected to the windows machine.
[07:54] <SkyNeT> i don;t underted
[07:54] <Guitarhero11> save a copy of your xorg.conf file
[07:54] <SkyNeT> where that is
[07:55] <Guitarhero11> a backup one
[07:55] <fyrestrtr> Chrisms: do ifconfig -a
[07:55] <ChaosFan> SkyNeT: open a terminal
[07:55] <bruenig> SkyNet, go to Applications>Accessories>Terminal
[07:55] <Samuli^> gnomefreak, xchat-gnome is installed by default.
[07:55] <Bria1> Hola
[07:55] <Guitarhero11> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
[07:55] <gnomefreak> Samuli^: no
[07:55] <bruenig> SkyNeT, after that copy and paste this "sudo apt-get install xchat xchat-systray" then type your password and hit enter, it should do the rest
[07:55] <Samuli^> gnomefreak, yes.
[07:55] <Guitarhero11> rsl sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
[07:55] <gnomefreak> Samuli^: no xchat is as of dapper
[07:56] <gnomefreak> Samuli^: no its not
[07:56] <gnomefreak> Samuli^: they pulled it out around flight 4
[07:56] <rsl> Guitarhero11: Thanks.
[07:56] <Samuli^> gnomefreak, I'm pretty sure mine came with xchat-gnome. But really I dunno.
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> Samuli^: if I were you, I'd just believe him.
[07:56] <Chrisms> fyrestrtr: i dont see anyhting remotly resembling an IP
[07:56] <bruenig> Samuli^, it isn't
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> Chrisms: can you ping your windows machine?
[07:56] <Chrisms> fyrestrtr: one second, i have an idea
[07:56] <Samuli^> bruenig, okay. fine :)
[07:56] <brian98> Hi - What's the easiest way to config two monitors so you can drag windows from one to the other
[07:56] <Guitarhero11> my install did not come with xchat
[07:56] <gnomefreak> Samuli^: they removed it in flight 4 noone liked it
[07:56] <brian98> using ATA graphics card with repository driver
[07:57] <Samuli^> gnomefreak, ok, ok :)
[07:57] <Guitarhero11> brian98 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174&highlight=backup+xorg.conf
[07:57] <MetaMorfoziS> Guitarhero11: apt-get install it
[07:57] <ChaosFan> mine also didn't come with xchat... but i wanted it not to ;)
[07:57] <brian98> G cheers!
[07:57] <fyrestrtr> brian98: if you are using nvidia, its twinview. if you are using ati, the control panel has the option. if you are using something else, use xinerama

[07:57] <brian98> I am using ATI
[07:57] <d00mik[u] > need some help,I have a problem with screen resulution, i tried to change it but it stays like it was before.
[07:57] <brian98> but the CP doesn't have the option I need
[07:57] <kantlivelong> hey all, how can i create a walled garden using dhcpd?
[07:57] <rsl> Guitarhero11: I forgot to mention that there's an onboard video controller [which I don't want to use]  and the ATI Radeon 9200 card [which I do] . It seems like the xorg-config thing saw the intel [onboard]  one. Is that a problem?
[07:58] <fyrestrtr> brian98: you might need to get the one from ati.com
[07:58] <Guitarhero11> have you installed fglrx rsl?
[07:58] <MetaMorfoziS> d00mik[u] : you need to change it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:58] <Chrisms> fyrestrtr: i did ipconfig in windows, to get the IP of the second port, and i ping'd that, and it replyed.
[07:58] <SkyNeT> i don;t think
[07:58] <SkyNeT> i did it right ?
[07:58] <fyrestrtr> Chrisms: what ip did you ping?
[07:59] <rsl> Guitarhero11: Yes. I have fglrx installed but want to see if Celestia runs better on the xorg ATI ones like everyone says.
[07:59] <MetaMorfoziS> but you need backup that first: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_original and then edit: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:59] <bruenig> SkyNeT, you need to add the universe repository, did you follow that link?
[07:59] <dkmx> guys, i have a problem during the installation of ubuntu: when the installation say, uncompressing linux... OK, booting the kernel, then the installation stops / hangs
[07:59] <Whtiger> Hello
[07:59] <Chrisms> <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:59] <d00mik[u] > MetaMorfoziS, in what line ? I have few lines with "Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480""
[07:59] <glassbits> is anybody running ubuntu on k8m800 ( Via UniChrime Pro IGP ) graphics ?
[07:59] <SkyNeT> yes but i did ant no what to do there
[07:59] <SkyNeT> when i got in there
[07:59] <Guitarhero11> rsl: fglrx installed an ati program that told me which one i was using, if its using the wrong one you may have to manually edit your xorg.conf
[07:59] <Whtiger> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems <-- where do I type `server`?
[08:00] <MetaMorfoziS> all lines repeated except the bit number you using the 24bit
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> Chrisms: that looks like APA IP, something that windows assigns if it cannot find a dhcp server.
[08:00] <MetaMorfoziS> so you need to change that line.
[08:00] <Chrisms> Hmmm...
[08:00] <d00mik[u] > ok, thanks I will try
[08:00] <Chrisms> one second. let me go see if i can find a LAn cable long enough to get my ubuntu machine into the router
[08:00] <Whtiger> Chrisms: 169.* isn't a real IP.
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> Whtiger: get the alternate install cd, boot from it. Type 'server' at the boot: prompt
[08:00] <MetaMorfoziS> back up it!!!
[08:00] <Guitarhero11> rsl: it should use whicheevr your monitor is plugged into
[08:00] <Chrisms> whtiger: :( that saddens me.. haha
[08:00] <fyrestrtr> Whtiger: sure it is.
[08:00] <Chrisms> be back in a few min's
[08:00] <MetaMorfoziS> if you mess it up x isn't starts, so you need to restore it
[08:01] <Whtiger> I mean.. it doesn't help you or anything.
[08:01] <ChaosFan> SkyNeT: you should have followed the instructions there
[08:01] <Whtiger> so, no way to do it from ubuntudesktop?
[08:01] <rsl> Guitarhero11: So the fact that it keeps talking about the Intel in the xorg setup thing is just misleading?
[08:01] <fyrestrtr> Whtiger: no.
[08:01] <EvilGuru> is it possible to disable user switching, so users have to log who-ever else is on before logging on as themselves
[08:01] <SkyNeT> ok i put a chek
[08:01] <d00mik[u] > MetaMorfoziS, how can I do that?
[08:01] <SkyNeT> mark on it hit add
[08:01] <Whtiger> Sooo... it isn't possible to install without the gui install thing?
[08:01] <MetaMorfoziS> i'm wroted:
[08:01] <MetaMorfoziS> but you need backup that first: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_original and then edit: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:01] <dkmx> guys, i have a problem during the installation of ubuntu: when the installation say, uncompressing linux... OK, booting the kernel, then the installation stops / hangs
[08:01] <fyrestrtr> Whtiger: download and burn the alternate install cd, and boot from it.
[08:02] <MetaMorfoziS> the "cp" works: cp this tothere
[08:02] <d00mik[u] > sorry, missed 8(
[08:02] <Whtiger> I would if I had a blank cd. thanks anyways.
[08:02] <MetaMorfoziS> so the restore is the sam ^^ but reverted
[08:02] <Whtiger> seeya
[08:02] <Guitarhero11> rsl: i think that's where you can rename your device to whatever it is, dpkg-reconfiguring basically makes a xorg.conf for you
[08:02] <MrObvious> Chrisms: Did you get your ? answered?
[08:02] <Chrisms> no
[08:02] <Chrisms> but im gettignh elp
[08:02] <MrObvious> ps aux | grep vnc
[08:02] <Guitarhero11> rsl: select fglrx and it should be fine
[08:02] <Chrisms> yall are so helpful:). i got that giant fuckign lan cable. le tme see if my ubuntu machine is online. one second
[08:02] <SkyNeT> still did it wrong
[08:02] <SkyNeT> what am i looking for
[08:02] <MrObvious> Chrisms: Do that and paste the line here. And don't cuss.
[08:03] <Guitarhero11> rsl: if it isnt, restore your xorg file with the copy you made and it will work
[08:03] <mathrick> zOMGWTFBBQ
[08:03] <EvilGuru> anyone know if it is possible?
[08:03] <mathrick> I can't read my reiser4 partitions on dapper
[08:03] <rsl> Guitarhero11: I selected ati, to test. Since that's the one I never used.
[08:03] <mathrick> why?
[08:03] <rsl> Right?
[08:03] <CyDrive> Hello is it possible to acces the c drive  of a computer through the live cd so i can fix my windows machine?
[08:03] <ChaosFan> reiser4-partitions aren't meant to be read but to be erased l(
[08:03] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: fix how?
[08:03] <ChaosFan> ;)
[08:03] <Guitarhero11> rsl: ati isnt fglrx, its the ubuntu installed version, most people prefer fglrx because it runs faster.  its the proprietary driver ati released
[08:04] <SkyNeT> chaosfan
[08:04] <SkyNeT> can you help me
[08:04] <SkyNeT> i want xchast
[08:04] <SkyNeT> xchast
[08:04] <Chrisms> mr.obvious: for some reason, it's not going on my network, let me fix that first, brb
[08:04] <BoD_> The only way to fix a Bimbows box is to hit it with a hammer :P
[08:04] <SkyNeT> xchat
[08:04] <CyDrive> fix as in replace a corrupted file i pulled off another windows machine i own
[08:04] <mathrick> ChaosFan: um, perhaps, but that's what my home is on
[08:04] <Samuli^> driver ati doesn't have 3d-acceleration.
[08:04] <mathrick> so I'd definitely appreciate a way to access it
[08:04] <SkyNeT> they told me to go to solfware
[08:04] <Samuli^> only fglrx does.
[08:04] <egon_spengler> Samuli^, You are full of it
[08:04] <kitche> rsl: ati is the open source version of fglrx
[08:05] <Samuli^> egon_spengler, thank you?
[08:05] <Guitarhero11> rsl: you may want to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[08:05] <Samuli^> what the fuck is your problem?
[08:05] <kitche> egon_spengler: ati doesn't have 3d-acceleration none of the open source drivers do
[08:05] <egon_spengler> Samuli^, ati provides 3d hardware acceleration for any card up to and including the 9200
[08:05] <rsl> Guitarhero11: From what I've read my card [Radeon 9200]  is old enough to use aiglx via the ati drivers. That's another reason I wanted to try it. Besides the fact that Celestia hates the fglrx ones.
[08:05] <ChaosFan> SkyNeT: you were told how to get it about a dozen times by now
[08:05] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: you only have limited access to ntfs. You can't write to it, for example.
[08:05] <nalioth> egon_spengler: please be civil
[08:05] <SkyNeT> i new
[08:05] <SkyNeT> sorry
[08:05] <Guitarhero11> rsl: trying it wont hurt anything,
[08:05] <ras> hai this is Rashed
[08:05] <Samuli^> egon_spengler, well "ati" driver doesn't.
[08:06] <kitche> egon_spengler: umm are you talking about ati open source or the actualy ATI drivers?
[08:06] <ras> i am new here and to Ubuntu
[08:06] <Guitarhero11> rsl: if something goes wrong do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select your old settings
[08:06] <CyDrive> Can i at least view so i can see if there is something else i can possible do to fix it?
[08:06] <Guitarhero11> ras: welcome
[08:06] <ras> i need some help with ubuntu
[08:06] <rsl> Guitarhero11: Awesome. That's what I wanted to hear. That I couldn't screw things up too bad. I'll do that.
[08:06] <adminx> I use AIGLX with intel chipset on my laptop.
[08:06] <egon_spengler> Samuli^, Very strange, since I use the "ati" which subsumes the "radeon" under it in Xorg and get 3D accel on my machine
[08:06] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: well you can view it but you can't save or write to it. So, not sure how useful that would be.
[08:06] <rsl> Guitarhero11: Thanks for all your help.
[08:06] <Guitarhero11> rsl: np
[08:06] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: anyway, to get to your files, from the live cd, system > administration > disks
[08:07] <CyDrive> Well ill take it one step at a time so lets start with view once i get that ill figure it out
[08:07] <ScribbleJ> rs1, would an ATI 9800 also be 'old enough' ?
[08:07] <rsl> kitche: Thanks as well.
[08:07] <Guitarhero11> ras: what do you need help with
[08:07] <Chrisms> alright, the ubuntu machine is onnetwork now, the router fainlyl accepted it.
[08:07] <ScribbleJ> From what you've just been reading?
[08:07] <rsl> ScribbleJ: I think it's 9250 and under.
[08:07] <Tonren> Guys, I have a total sudden frantic horrible emergency.
[08:07] <kitche> egon_spengler: well that's not true 3D acceleration, since your using mesalib not the driver itself
[08:07] <ScribbleJ> rsl, thanks, just curious.
[08:07] <Tonren> I plug my laptop into nice external speakers to listen to music
[08:07] <Samuli^> egon_spengler, so your xorg.conf names the driver radeon, not ati.
[08:07] <rsl> Alright. Here goes nothing. Heh.
[08:07] <adminx> Accelerated Indirect GLX (AIGLX).
[08:07] <Tonren> But I was playing a couple of movies last night, and all of a sudden, my laptop is outputting sound with the acoustic quality of a KAZOO.
[08:07] <fyrestrtr> Tonren: and suddenly the latest paris hilton song started playing?!
[08:08] <ras> anyone to help me out????
[08:08] <Guitarhero11> ras: whats your problem
[08:08] <kitche> Samuli^: ati is a wrapper for the other open source drivers, it chooses the best driver
[08:08] <Tonren> Someone PLEASE help me.  This is horrible.  This is a tragedy.  I'm going to DIE without smooth sounding music.   Have you fiddled with the mixer?
[08:08] <SkyNeT> is that right or am i still looking in the wrong place
[08:09] <fyrestrtr> !language
[08:09] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:09] <mathrick> also, WHAT ABOUT MY REISER4?
[08:09] <Guitarhero11> ras: is everything working?
[08:09] <Tonren> mathrick: Well, I'll have to boot into Windows to make sure that isn't the case
[08:09] <mathrick> *cough*
[08:09] <ras> i am using 2wire pcmcia wireless card but can't get it working in ubuntu
[08:09] <Samuli^> kitche, ati's drivers from ati-website aren't open source, neither is fglrx.
[08:09] <kitche> egon_spengler: you are correct, but the drivers are seperate from mesalib
[08:09] <mathrick> Tonren: do
[08:09] <Tonren> fyrestrtr: Linux has a mixer?
[08:09] <egon_spengler> Identifier      "ATI Technologies, Inc. RV280 [Radeon 9200] "

[08:09] <fyrestrtr> Tonren: yes? It has had for a while now.
[08:09] <Guitarhero11> ras: what chipset is your network card
[08:09] <Tonren> fyrestrtr: Swanky.  What's the command?
[08:09] <ras> i really dont knoe
[08:09] <ras> know
[08:09] <Guitarhero11> ok
[08:09] <ras> i really dont know
[08:09] <Samuli^> egon_spengler, and you say you have 3d-acceleration?
[08:09] <Chrisms> fyrestrtr: <IP_ADDRESS> is the IP that my ubuntu box is ssaying.
[08:09] <kitche> Samuli^: ati is an open source wrapper, fglrx is the only one that I know that comes from ATI
[08:09] <Guitarhero11> ras: you could try ndiswrapper
[08:10] <Guitarhero11> ras: it allows you to use windows drivers for network cards with linux
[08:10] <ras> can u tell me the steps?
[08:10] <fyrestrtr> Chrisms: that's your broadcast address, not your ip address.
[08:10] <Samuli^> kitche, I don't know what the drivers from ati are called, but if they are indeed fglrx then my point is proven.
[08:10] <egon_spengler> Samuli^, 7623 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1524.586 FPS
[08:10] <Guitarhero11> ras: there are howtos on the forums that explain it better than i can, but basically you just download ndiswrapper, then you have to get a specific file off of your driver cd for it
[08:10] <Chrisms> fyrestartr: i got it, thanks, it's remotedesktoping now:-D
[08:10] <fyrestrtr> Chrisms: your ip address is going to be between <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:10] <ras> can u tell me the steps to use ndiswrapper?
[08:10] <Tonren> ras: You can look on wiki.ubuntu.com
[08:11] <Guitarhero11> ras: I think you can download ndiswrapper through synaptic
[08:11] <Chrisms> yeah, i got it working from windows -> ubuntu.. now to figure out the other way around:-D
[08:11] <ras> what is synaptic?
[08:11] <fyrestrtr> Tonren: mixer and details are at the wiki, but you can get a rudimentary mixer by double clicking on the speaker icon.
[08:11] <fyrestrtr> Tonren: for more fancy stuff, alsa has a gui mixer.
[08:11] <Guitarhero11> ras: synaptic is the add/remove program thing under applications
[08:12] <Guitarhero11> ras: look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper for info on ndiswrapper
[08:12] <cogitatus> I have a question about ports; my package manager was working fine until a couple days ago, now I can't connect to any repositories at all. I get the error "could not connect to localhost:4001 (<ip>) - connect (111 Connection Refused)
[08:12] <ras> ok, one more thing
[08:12] <Tonren> fyrestrtr: Hey, what the crap is PCM?
[08:12] <Tonren> fyrestrtr: It was set all the way up and adding distortion.  It's working fine now.
[08:12] <cogitatus> i'm connecting through a college network which is pretty finicky...
[08:12] <cogitatus> any suggestions?
[08:12] <tam> cogitatus: proxies?
[08:12] <neutrinomass> Guitarhero11: Actually that's gnome-app-install. Synaptic is under System->Administration
[08:12] <Guitarhero11> ras: whats your other question
[08:13] <cogitatus> tam, as do i have one?
[08:13] <kitche> cogitatus: your college network is blocking it so I would try and see if a proxy will work
[08:13] <egon_spengler> Tonren, PCM==Pulse Code Modulation==WAY old way of saying .wav gain
[08:13] <ras> the windows driver i have for my pcmcia card in an exe file how can i use it with ndiswrapper?
[08:13] <tam> cogitatus: i don't know, do you?
[08:13] <Guitarhero11> neutrinomass: oh i always thought add/remove was just dumbed down synaptic
[08:13] <cogitatus> tam; nope, this is my first time here
[08:13] <cogitatus> tam; i totally just misread your line
[08:13] <fyrestrtr> Tonren: disaster averted then, good to hear.
[08:13] <cogitatus> heh
[08:13] <Guitarhero11> ras: theres a way to extract the right file i think
[08:13] <cogitatus> tam, i don't think i do. i got a proxy utility but didn't set it up; i'm terrible with networking and ports, i tend to just leave it all alone
[08:14] <Guitarhero11> ras: at least thats what ive heard, you could also install it on a windows box and get it from the isntall file
[08:14] <Tonren> egon_spengler: Jesus.  Either the VLC guys or the Media Player Classic guys need a swift kick in the ass, because their application's volume applet changes PCM instead of Master Volume.
[08:14] <ras> how can i know which specific file to get?
[08:14] <Guitarhero11> ras: that page i told you to look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper should tell you the file extension you need
[08:14] <Guitarhero11> theres probably only one of that type of file in there
[08:15] <mathrick> Tonren: that's what they're supposed to be doing
[08:15] <mathrick> unless you meant it the other way around
[08:15] <Chrisms> fyrestrtr: is there a gui for vncserver in ubuntu? or just the command to start the server?
[08:15] <Guitarhero11> .inf and .sys files i think
[08:15] <fyrestrtr> Chrisms: are you trying to connect to Windows?
[08:15] <Guitarhero11> that page goes over it
[08:15] <cogitatus> kitche: any suggestion on what proxy to use?
[08:15] <gbrent> I messed my permissions up on my home directory. Now when I log in I get the message: could not creat gnome accelerators directory /home/russellb/.gnome2/accels Anyone help me out???
[08:15] <SkyNeT> ok somthing started
[08:15] <mathrick> Chrisms: System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop -> Share my desktop
[08:15] <SkyNeT> to download in there
[08:15] <Guitarhero11> rsl: how'd it go
[08:15] <rsl> Guitarhero11: What was that command again? I decided to write it down again.
[08:15] <ras> alright i am gonna browse through the page and try to fix the problem
[08:15] <Chrisms> Well, yes, but i'd also like to turn the vnc server off
[08:16] <ndee> hello there, whenever I visit youtube, I can view the movies but I don't have any sound. I can listen to normal MP3s without a problem. I installed the flash player thru automatix. Is there something I can do to fix that?
[08:16] <SkyNeT> now do i go to that think and lounch it some how
[08:16] <ras> thanks for the help
[08:16] <Guitarhero11> rsl: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:16] <rsl> Guitarhero11: Oh, I messed something up. I wasn't paying attention at one part and hit enter too soon.
[08:16] <Guitarhero11> ras: you're welcome
[08:16] <Tonren> mathrick: You're kidding... shouldn't they be changing Master Volume?
[08:16] <ras> and r u going to be here if i need help later?
[08:16] <gbrent> ndee: does youtube use flash?
[08:16] <fyrestrtr> gbrent: sudo chown -R russelb:russelb /home/russelb && sudo chmod -R 755 /home/russelb
[08:16] <Chrisms> mathrick: i can remote dekstop my ubunto machine from windows just fine.
[08:16] <mathrick> Tonren: of course not
[08:16] <ndee> gbrent: Yes.
[08:16] <Guitarhero11> ras: maybe, if not someone will help you im sure
[08:16] <mathrick> Tonren: master is master, PCM is per-app
[08:16] <Guitarhero11> ras: ndiswrapper is a common problem
[08:16] <Tonren> mathrick: Wow.  Could you explain the methodology behind that to me?  Because I am now lost.
[08:17] <rsl> Guitarhero11: Thanks. Trying it again.
[08:17] <Tonren> mathrick: Interesting... well then, one of those apps is changing the GLOBAL PCM.
[08:17] <ras> so i can use this general window to chat not any specific window right?
[08:17] <Guitarhero11> ras: right
[08:17] <] GD> is there any way I can install Tor simple through synaptic?
[08:17] <mathrick> Tonren: umm, there's nothing like "global pcm" afaik. That's usually called master volume :)
[08:17] <gbrent> ndee: there is a known issue with flash and sound. There is suposed to be a fix for it soon. Try sudo apt-get reinstall install flash
[08:17] <Ropechoborra> When is EDGY gonna be released ?????
[08:17] <fyrestrtr> Chrisms: to go the other way, Go to Internet > Terminal Services Client -- type in your login details for your Windows machine, and its IP address, then click on Connect.
[08:17] <ndee> gbrent: ok, I gonna try that :)
[08:18] <gbrent> ndee: I think the package is flash

[08:18] <SkyNeT> is this mean it done ?
[08:18] <Ropechoborra> Dr_Willis i cant wait x)
[08:18] <Tonren> mathrick: If I double click on the speaker icon, there's a slider for Master Volume and PCM.
[08:18] <gbrent> ndee: not sure of flash's package name
[08:18] <neutrinomass> Ropechoborra: End of october, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule . Please use #ubuntu+1 for edgy questions
[08:18] <fyrestrtr> SkyNeT: yes.

[08:18] <Dr_Willis> Tonren,  when  click - i get about 40 sliders. :P
[08:18] <Tonren> Dr_Willis: You are a strange and perplexing person
[08:18] <SkyNeT> no how do i get in x chat ?
[08:19] <] GD> is there any way I can install Tor simple through synaptic?
[08:19] <mathrick> Tonren: every time I've seen "PCM" mentioned, it referred to the channel a single app had opened
[08:19] <Guitarhero11> SkyNeT: it should be in the applications menu
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> Tonren,  sound blaster audigy z2 - with a input bay.  Should I set perms to 755?
[08:19] <cogitatus> sigh, i installed a proxy app with synaptic days ago and have no idea where it installed to.
[08:19] <] GD> is there any way I can install Tor simple through synaptic?
[08:19] <Guitarhero11> ] GD: sudo apt-get install nameofprogramhere
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> !info tor
[08:19] <ubotu> tor: anonymizing overlay network for TCP. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 608 kB, installed size 1120 kB
[08:19] <fyrestrtr> gbrent: no
[08:19] <SkyNeT> yep it there
[08:20] <Tonren> mathrick: Weird.  There's a "global" slider for it in my GNOME panel manager that changes it for EVERYTHING, including the boot sound
[08:20] <] GD> can't find package tor
[08:20] <Languid> what's the easiest way to add fat32 support to the kernel?
[08:20] <ras> one more thing
[08:20] <mathrick> Tonren: wicked
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> Languid,  normally its compiled in, or as a module. thats as far as i know the ONLY way.
[08:20] <Guitarhero11> ] GD did you search for tor in synaptic not just add/remove program?
[08:20] <Languid> Dr_Willis, ok, thanks
[08:20] <ndee> gbrent: it works after I did sudo apt-get install libflash-mozplugin :)
[08:20] <Tonren> mathrick: Indeed.  One of my movie apps changed THAT instead of its own per-app PCM.  I thought Linux killed my sound card.  :\
[08:20] <] GD> umm, I just rand sudo apt-get install Tor
[08:20] <Guitarhero11> ] GD the package could be named something else, or you may have to enable extra repositories
[08:21] <Guitarhero11> ] GD try it lower case
[08:21] <cube> hi
[08:21] <] GD> just tried xD
[08:21] <ras> on the ndiswrapper site it say the instruction in that site doesnt work with live ubuntu cd versions
[08:21] <] GD> still didn't find it.
[08:21] <mathrick> Tonren: I see
[08:21] <Ackeubu__> hey i have a builtin card reader in my laptop. " 0a:09.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments Unknown device 803b" . this controller is supposed to be supported in kernel 2.6.17, so im running edgy. however as the output showed, its viewed as an unknow device. is there a way to solve this?
[08:21] <ras> i installed ubuntu from the live cd versions
[08:21] <ras> what dod i do know
[08:21] <ras> ?
[08:21] <mathrick> Tonren: now explain "media player classic" and "linux" going together :)
[08:21] <Guitarhero11> ras: i think it means it wont work while you are running the live cd
[08:21] <Tonren> mathrick: ... they shouldn't?
[08:21] <Guitarhero11> ras: ive used it and i installed from the live cd
[08:21] <ras> ok
[08:21] <ras> thanks
[08:22] <cube> one question: I know that ubuntu has newer packages than debian...but has it also more packages?
[08:22] <rsl> Guitarhero11: Woo and hoo! It worked!
[08:22] <Guitarhero11> rsl: sweet
[08:22] <mathrick> Tonren: MPC is a purely windows app, last time I looked
[08:22] <rsl> Yeah. I'm psyched!
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> cube,  i dont think it really has more..  and not too sure about them always being newer..
[08:22] <neutrinomass> cube: Not sure....
[08:22] <Tonren> mathrick: I guess I just meant Mplayer
[08:22] <cosmos`cu> my dc++ installation doesnt think i have GTK but i do.. any reccomendations?
[08:22] <Tonren> mathrick: Sorry, ex-Windows uers
[08:22] <Tonren> *user
[08:22] <rsl> Guitarhero11: I'm just excited to know I did it. I've tried it before and screwed it up.
[08:22] <gbrent> fyrestrtr saved my life!
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> cube,  its just more of ubuntu has a 6 mo release cycle vs how debian has a constant updates
[08:22] <gbrent> fyrestrtr: thank you
[08:22] <Guitarhero11> rsl: the linux satisfaction
[08:23] <Languid> there is a kernel module called 'fat' listed, yet when i cat /proc/filesystems, fat doesn't appear anywhere in the list
[08:23] <cube> Dr_Willis: but there has to be a bigger difference between them?
[08:23] <rsl> Guitarhero11: Yeah. Running Linux rocks [except for Flash] .
[08:23] <BoD_> 3Dlabs how?
[08:23] <mathrick> Languid: fat is not an actual FS
[08:23] <mathrick> just the common portion of msdos/fat16/vfat
[08:23] <CRoWsNeST> HELLO
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> cube,  different design philosphy? :P what sort of answer are you expecting?
[08:23] <Guitarhero11> rsl: theres an open source flash plugin in the works, lets just hope that catches up soon
[08:23] <CRoWsNeST> woops
[08:23] <Languid> mathrick, okay, what should it be called?  what should i use when i do a mount -t
[08:24] <cube> Dr_Willis: dunno...
[08:24] <fyrestrtr> Languid: try 'auto'
[08:24] <mathrick> Languid: vfat
[08:24] <mathrick> or auto
[08:24] <kitche> Guitarhero11: the open source flash is already out it's doesn't do very much right now
[08:24] <mathrick> if it's fat, it's gonna be loaded
[08:24] <rsl> Guitarhero11: I hope so. I really hate getting locked out of things because of there's no Flash 9 or even 8.
[08:24] <Guitarhero11> kitche: thats what I mean its not up to par yet
[08:24] <neutrinomass> cube: (this could be a better subject for ubuntu-offtopic) The release process differs, the philosophy differs and the goals differ. Of course there are many Ubuntu-specific patches
[08:24] <gbrent> ndee: that command did a reinstall of flash. It should auto grab the most up to date version of flash. If it still does not work then try and see if you have sound with google video. If you dont then something else may be going on
[08:24] <] GD> !tor
[08:24] <ubotu> tor: anonymizing overlay network for TCP. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 608 kB, installed size 1120 kB
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> cube,  heh. :)  its a balance btween being the latest versions on everything.. and a stable 'set' of known versions I guess.
[08:24] <mathrick> anyway, is it possible to get reiser4 running on a stock dapper?
[08:24] <ryedunn> After doing a fresh Install on a new HD Im getting an error partition does not exist Dropping to a shell.  This happens if I do the default partions or manually.  Any suggestions?
[08:24] <Guitarhero11> rsl: flash 9 is due out early next year for linucx
[08:24] <mathrick> I got "reiser4utils" but no access to my fs, annoying
[08:24] <CRoWsNeST> how do i make the font big
[08:24] <rsl> Guitarhero11: That's a heck of a long time away from now.
[08:24] <CRoWsNeST> on x chat ?
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> ryedunn,  grub could be confused by the drive numbering. You got sata and ide drive4s?
[08:25] <gbrent> Guitarhero11: I thought I saw some hacks for it now.. that may have been wine or something though
[08:25] <neutrinomass> ryedunn: Did you add/remove a drive ?
[08:25] <rsl> CRoWsNeST: Change the font size in terminal.
[08:25] <ryedunn> Dr_Willis:
[08:25] <ryedunn> The drive is a Seagate 320GB EIDE HD 7200/16MB/ATA-100
[08:25] <rsl> CRoWsNeST: Nevermind. Xchat.
[08:25] <CRoWsNeST> how do i do that in terminal ?
[08:25] <Guitarhero11> gbrent: that sounds cool
[08:25] <cube> I'm looking for a linux - for my laptop - which needs less resources, is fast and has a nice package system with new and a lot of packages. what would you say should i try?
[08:26] <Guitarhero11> crowsnest: settings:preferences
[08:26] <neutrinomass> cube: xubuntu
[08:26] <rsl> CRoWsNeST: In terminal it's under edit > profiles
[08:26] <Shinso-san> ou suis je?
[08:26] <Guitarhero11> cube: you could also install xubuntu then use fluxbox instead of xfce
[08:27] <ChaosFan> cube: if you're kinda experienced gentoo would be what you want as it can be heavily configured
[08:27] <neutrinomass> !offtopic
[08:27] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:27] <gbrent> someone say gbrent - my highlighting failed
[08:27] <ChaosFan> neutrinomass: you mean me?
[08:27] <mathrick> gbrent:
[08:27] <cube> gentoo is nice and i have gentoo on my desktop pc....but it needs too much ressources while compiling
[08:27] <gbrent> thank you, it works now :P
[08:27] <applet> can anyone help as to why installation hangs on loading sd_mod message ?
[08:28] <geehoon> when i try to install my nvidia drivers i add all the new packages and then in the terminal it says type "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable"  this errors as: Error: your X configuration has been altered thsi script cannot proceed automatically.  i am under amd64 architecture if that matters using dapper.
[08:28] <neutrinomass> ChaosFan: A little. It was more of a pre-emptive offtopic considering the discussion that is likely to follow :P
[08:28] <cosmos`cu> my dc++ installation doesnt think i have GTK but i do.. any reccomendations?
[08:28] <CRoWsNeST> rsl,
[08:28] <ChaosFan> cube: that's true, but you could partially evade that by using distcc ;)
[08:28] <CRoWsNeST> i am in there profile
[08:28] <neutrinomass> applet: Are you sure the CD is ok ? With which cd are you trying to install ?
[08:28] <CRoWsNeST> then what ?
[08:29] <cosmos`cu> Testing whether or not i exist.  please confirm
[08:29] <d00mik[u] > It didnt worked.....it changed the resolution but, the desktop i stayed like it was before exxcpet one thing, i have to move with mouse
[08:29] <Guitarhero11> CRoWsNeST: Settings>Preferences>Text Box
[08:29] <applet> all runs perfectly fine till it hit this sd_mod issue
[08:29] <Flannel> cosmos`cu: you probably need to install the -dev packages, contains headers etc
[08:29] <ChaosFan> neutrinomass: what would be so very disturbing about 2 ppl discussing gentoo? nobody _has_ to participate after all
[08:29] <cube> ChaosFan: i could but i want a system which has a nice packetsystem but binaries...
[08:29] <cosmos`cu> thanks Flannel
[08:29] <rsl> CRoWsNeST: double click the Default profile. Then uncheck the option [in General]  that says something about default terminal font.
[08:29] <ChaosFan> cube: then i think xubuntu is the way to go ;)
[08:30] <rsl> CRoWsNeST: It should let you change it there.
[08:30] <Guitarhero11> im out, cya guys
[08:30] <rsl> CRoWsNeST: Yeah, it does.
[08:30] <ChaosFan> cube: and i'd heavily recommend a more light-weight windowmanager than xfce, e.g. fluxbox or wmii
[08:30] <rsl> Guitarhero11: Take it easy. have a great day!
[08:30] <cube> ChaosFan: there i have more packages than at debian? also non-GNU pkgs?
[08:31] <rsl> Okay. I'm out as well. Laters.
[08:31] <ChaosFan> cube: yes, there are
[08:31] <ChaosFan> cube: and more up to date, too ;)
[08:31] <rsl> CRoWsNeST: Did that work for you?
[08:31] <cube> sounds nice
[08:31] <ChaosFan> cube: ubuntu (and all of its flavours) are pretty nice ;)
[08:31] <neutrinomass> ChaosFan: It is disturbing because it spans the channel. This is a support channel, not a general Linux chatter channel. People in here are having problems with Ubuntu - they don't want to see gentoo-related discussions
[08:31] <cogitatus> So; to get a proxy, I need to access the repositories. To access the repositories, I need a proxy. Any suggestions?
[08:32] <neutrinomass> s/spans/spams
[08:32] <cogitatus> I have anon-proxy but am at a complete loss as to how to work it
[08:32] <cube> ChaosFan: i know...ubuntu was my first linux i have used instead of windows
[08:32] <fyrestrtr> cogitatus: you can just download the individual .deb files and install them (install consists of double clicking the deb)
[08:32] <BHSPitMonkey> urgh
[08:32] <Skazi> Q onda
[08:33] <ryedunn> If anyone is good with partitions, GRUB and has some time to help, please MSG me
[08:33] <cogitatus> fyrestrtr, can't find them; i wanted to get tor, but i'm not sure what files to get. there's only two small .gz files that i can find
[08:33] <dkmx> guys, i have a problem during the installation of ubuntu: when the installation say, uncompressing linux... OK, booting the kernel, then the installation stops / hangs
[08:33] <cogitatus> fyrestrtr, i'm also not sure what other packages i'd need
[08:33] <cube> when fluxubuntu is released? *gg
[08:33] <fyrestrtr> cogitatus: what are you trying to install?
[08:33] <BHSPitMonkey> why am I out of loop devices by default? I can't mount any backed-up filesystems
[08:33] <mathrick> dkmx: read help
[08:34] <cogitatus> fyrestrtr, tor
[08:34] <slid3r> hola
[08:34] <mathrick> dkmx: F1 and "special boot parameters"
[08:34] <dkmx> k
[08:34] <ChaosFan> cube: or do what i did, install ubuntu-server with almost nothing and afterwards install what you want and need
[08:34] <dkmx> will try
[08:34] <ChaosFan> cube: then the resulting OS won't be bloated with so many things you don't need
[08:34] <fyrestrtr> cogitatus: download the deb file for it from the web, its going to be .deb not .tar.gz or something.
[08:35] <slid3r> where is my access log, so I can see if my vnc viewer here is getting to my remote ubuntu server, Id like to check the ubuntu logs via ssh and see if my client is getting thru and what if any error might be being generated.
[08:35] <cube> ChaosFan: nice idea...
[08:35] <cogitatus> fyrestrtr, should i just google around till i find it?
[08:35] <CRoWsNeST> rsl,
[08:35] <CRoWsNeST> am looking but i don;t see the terminal font
[08:35] <facefaceface> hi, very dumb user here... grub lists a ton of old kernels, how do I remove them from the system (boot 99 % full)
[08:35] <Flannel> cube, ChaosFan, you'd be better off with the alternate ISO, and then the server install option.
[08:36] <Flannel> facefaceface: remove them via apt
[08:36] <facefaceface> Flannel, well ... I am not that dumb! ;) how do I list them?
[08:36] <Flannel> facefaceface: or, whtaever frontend you enjoy
[08:36] <cube> Flannel: what is the alternate iso? where is the difference to the normal?
[08:36] <ChaosFan> btw, what's the difference between the alternate cd and the others? ;)
[08:36] <facefaceface> They are not listed in the 'default' add / remove packages tool, nor in synaptec (the 'advanced' tool)
[08:36] <rsl> CRoWsNeST: It says "Use the system terminal font" and it is checked by default. Um, you're running Gnome right?
[08:37] <slid3r> the alternate one has a mohawk and wears black nail polish
[08:37] <ndee> after I installed ubuntu, I also installed kubuntu-desktop to try-out KDE. When I'm in gnome and I open a link, it always gets opened in konqueror instead of firefox. sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser <-- I tried that to change the "default browser" but it still uses konqueror. I also tried it in Settings->preferd applications and also selected firefox but it still uses konqueror. Any idea how I can fix that?
[08:37] <facefaceface> using apt, how do I list the installed kernels?
[08:37] <Flannel> facefaceface: yes they are.. might be in local/obsolete packages, I don't remember.  They're all "linux-image-somethingsomething" not anything having to do with kernel
[08:37] <CRoWsNeST> ok found it
[08:37] <slid3r> so no one knows where that access log is?
[08:37] <BHSPitMonkey> facefaceface, or you could edit /boot/grub/menu.lst yourself.
[08:37] <CRoWsNeST> i wsa in the wrong spot
[08:37] <CRoWsNeST> sorry new to this
[08:38] <CRoWsNeST> but i find it thank u
[08:38] <lillpelle> slid3r: haven't read your Q all the way up, but have you looked in /var/log/...?
[08:38] <Flannel> cube, ChaosFan: the normal (desktop) one is a liveCd, which installs the desktop, the alternate CD is the old textmode installer, it gives you more options (LVM, OEM, etc) and gives you the server (which is the base system, with no GUI) option.  The 'server' ISO has some specialized server-friendly kernel builds, and the option to preinstall LAMP
[08:39] <rsl> CRoWsNeST: You're welcome. I just wanted to make sure you found it before I logged off.
[08:39] <facefaceface> applications -> add / remove -> ... -> search 'linux-image' -> no results
[08:39] <Flannel> facefaceface: use synaptic, not add remove
[08:39] <slid3r> lillpelle: yes first place I looked
[08:39] <mathrick> facefaceface: considered changing your nick to ?
[08:39] <facefaceface> BHSPitLappy, no, my boot disk is full
[08:39] <slid3r> let me repeat
[08:39] <mathrick> :)
[08:39] <CRoWsNeST> no xchast
[08:39] <love>  russian were are you
[08:39] <slid3r> where is my access log, so I can see if my vnc viewer here is getting to my remote ubuntu server, Id like to check the ubuntu logs via ssh and see if my client is getting thru and what if any error might be being generated.
[08:39] <love>  russian were are you
[08:39] <secleinteer> does any1 know the name of the package that adds php to apache?
[08:39] <love>  russian were are you
[08:39] <facefaceface> mathrick, no, how bout you?
[08:39] <CRoWsNeST> it in sitting
[08:39] <CRoWsNeST> i found the font
[08:39] <ChaosFan> Flannel: then i should have used the alternate iso for my install... didn't find it back then, though
[08:39] <love>  russian were are you
[08:39] <secleinteer> does any1 know the name of the package that adds php to apache?
[08:39] <Flannel> !tell secleinteer about lamp
[08:40] <facefaceface> ty Flannel, got em :)
[08:40] <mathrick> facefaceface: my nick doesn't read facefaceface :P
[08:40] <facefaceface> but mine does !
[08:40] <ChaosFan> what a miracle ;)
[08:41] <BHSPitMonkey> why am I out of loop devices by default? I can't mount any backed-up filesystems
[08:41] <secleinteer> flannel: tyvm
[08:42] <love>
[08:42] <BHSPitMonkey> fun with the character chart?
[08:43] <facefaceface> I hope this works... ;)
[08:43] <facefaceface> can I break ubuntu with synaptec?
[08:44] <BHSPitMonkey> lol depends on your definition of "break"
[08:44] <BHSPitMonkey> but the answer is probably yes
[08:44] <Dybber> Where can I find "latex"? And shouldnt it be installed as default?
[08:44] <facefaceface> hmmm.. define "oh god oh god oh god my frikin laptop is melting!!!"
[08:44] <BHSPitMonkey> Dybber, should everything be installed by default?
[08:45] <iLikeSpoons> Dybber, it's in TeX part of synaptic. There's a lot of TeX connected stuff to be installed :P
[08:45] <iLikeSpoons> and a bunch of choices
[08:45] <Dybber> BHSPitMonkey, no :)
[08:45] <facefaceface> see you on the other side... thanks for the help :)
[08:46] <Dybber> shouldnt "sudo apt-get install latex" work?
[08:47] <Dybber> i get and error saying that the there is no installation candidate
[08:47] <Exclamation> hi
[08:47] <JoseStefan> !info latex

[08:47] <shreevatsa> Dybber, you probably need universe/multiverse
[08:47] <Exclamation> i get this when i try to start banshee, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22350
[08:47] <shreevatsa> Dybber, and the package is probably tetex-bin or something
[08:47] <dkmx> mathrick : can't find a thing to solve my problem: 'guys, i have a problem during the installation of ubuntu: when the installation say, uncompressing linux... OK, booting the kernel, then the installation stops / hangs'
[08:48] <shreevatsa> Dybber, try "apt-cache search latex"
[08:48] <mathrick> dkmx: toldya, "special boot parameters" is what you want to read
[08:48] <mathrick> dkmx: there are a couple like noacpi that could help you
[08:48] <dkmx> but i can't find a parameters to apply
[08:49] <mathrick> err
[08:49] <mathrick> noapic
[08:49] <Flannel> dkmx: did you burn the CD yourself?  did you do it slow enough? (4x)  did you check the CD/MD5 of the iso?
[08:49] <BrokenSegue> is there a foundation backing linux (not Ubuntu) like Mozilla.org backs firefox?
[08:49] <dkmx> i burned it myself
[08:49] <brian_> Hi, I've read the faq and looked around all day... I need some wireless help :)
[08:49] <ChaosFan> BrokenSegue: no, there isn't
[08:49] <BrokenSegue> alright
[08:49] <JoseStefan> BrokenSegue, "Canonical"
[08:49] <JoseStefan> ah
[08:50] <JoseStefan> i miss-read that
[08:50] <defcon8> miss?
[08:50] <JoseStefan> mis
[08:50] <brian_> I can see the card and enable / disable it sudo up wlan0
[08:50] <BrokenSegue> Canonical backs ubuntu not Linux (the kernel)
[08:50] <brian_> but I can't get it to connect to the access point!
[08:50] <JoseStefan> yeah ChaosFan is right
[08:50] <recon0> Is anybody else having a problem playing .mp3 files with kubuntu?
[08:50] <recon0> oops, ubuntu?
[08:50] <brian_> I've disabled everything on the access point
[08:51] <recon0> specifically, in amaroK.
[08:51] <brian_> ie wep mac address stuff
[08:51] <brian_> is there a good wireless manager?>
[08:51] <mathrick> brian_: networkmanager perhaps
[08:51] <mathrick> dunno how well it works on ubuntu
[08:51] <NullVector> having problems getting openoffice.org installed. Can someone t ake a look at this and offer suggestions?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22349
[08:52] <Dybber_> Im sorry, I just had a power failure, if anyone answered my question would they please repeat the answer?
[08:53] <brian_> mathrick I'll give that a go...
[08:53] <brian_> thanks
[08:54] <Dybber_> im getting an error with "sudo apt-get install latex" - the package has no installationcandidate
[08:54] <Sivik> can someone help me with a broadcom issue here?
[08:54] <ikari--a> Hello And Bye
[08:54] <JoseStefan> Dybber_ the packagename is not latex
[08:54] <JoseStefan> !info latex
[08:54] <ubotu> Package latex does not exist in any distro I know
[08:54] <ScribbleJ> NullVector, you either need to add the keys for those two sites or remove them from your apt sources file...
[08:55] <Sivik> JoseStefan, do an apt-cache search for latex in console
[08:55] <ScribbleJ>  ikari--a. cut that shit out.
[08:55] <VoX> ScribbleJ: bit late there
[08:55] <iLikeSpoons> Dybber, can you start synaptic?
[08:55] <shreevatsa> Dybber, try "apt-cache search latex"
[08:55] <ScribbleJ> Ah
[08:55] <NullVector> ScribbleJ: I am assuming you are reffering to the update problem errors. what about the md5sum errors I get when installing Openoffice?
[08:55] <mathrick> ScribbleJ: * ikari--a has quit (K-lined)
[08:55] <ScribbleJ> I missed his k-line in all the activity.
[08:56] <iLikeSpoons> There are three (3!) TeX Authoring categories
[08:56] <Dybber_> iLikeSpoons, yes
[08:56] <iLikeSpoons> everything you need is there
[08:57] <minerale> Hi, I have just booted up ubuntu on an intel macbook pro, the screen is stuck at 1024x768, how do I  fix it so it sees the correct resolution ?
[08:57] <Naik0> Can someone send me a good sourcelist? I can't find anything i want :(
[08:57] <JoseStefan> ScribbleJ, what did i miss?
[08:57] <Flannel> !tell Naik0 about sources
[08:57] <shreevatsa> !easysource
[08:57] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[08:57] <Flannel> yeah, that one
[08:57] <ScribbleJ> * Received a malformed DCC request from ikari--a.
[08:57] <ScribbleJ> * Contents of packet: DCC SEND PENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENIS
[08:57] <Naik0> Flannel:   thanks
[08:57] <Dybber_> what do I need? tetex?
[08:57] <hunger_> is there a way to make dpkg forget which packages were purged?
[08:58] <shreevatsa> DBO, it was from "ikari--a"
[08:58] <DBO> shreevatsa, reposting it triggers it too (as you can see)
[08:58] <Sivik> Naik0, what are you looking for, have you added a multiverse repo?
[08:58] <iLikeSpoons> haha... was that mass disconnect due to some netnanny type program?
[08:58] <Naik0> i want gkrellm and gkdesklets
[08:58] <mathrick> whut
[08:58] <shreevatsa> Dybber, yes, tetex. Also get amslatex and related packages
[08:59] <ChaosFan> Naik0: install them ;)
[08:59] <Sivik> ChaosFan, his problem is, he doesn't know which ones he wants, thats why i asked him what he is looking for
[08:59] <Dybber_> thanks shreevatsa
[09:00] <Flannel> !topic
[09:00] <Flannel> ack
[09:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about topic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:00] <Zooliegsm> hello
[09:00] <iLikeSpoons> O.o
[09:00] <Zooliegsm> i have serious problem
[09:01] <brian_> mathrick: I'm really sorry - I've just appd installed network-manager-gnome and it's installed..
[09:01] <JoseStefan> i dont get it
[09:01] <brian_> How do I access it?
[09:01] <mathrick> brian_: don't, I don't mind it at all :)
[09:01] <AfterDeath> DBO: there is noone in #ubuntu-ops fyi
[09:01] <janbanan> Does anyone know anything about "Ext2 Installable File System for Windows"? Is it only for Ext2, I'm using Ext3. It say it's only for x86 processors but do they mean it's for x86 operating systems?
[09:01] <DBO> I am here
[09:01] <mathrick> brian_: start nm-applet I think
[09:01] <Seveas> DBO, +R also suppresses the part messages
[09:01] <DBO> Seveas, handy
[09:02] <RichiH> klining
[09:02] <mathrick> janbanan: google "explore2fs and ext2 IFS"
[09:02] <Seveas> unfortunately, no unregistered users can talk right now
[09:02] <mathrick> * "explore2fs" and "ext2 IFS"
[09:02] <NullVector> glad I am registered
[09:02] <mathrick> DBO: what are all those bans about?
[09:02] <bbrazil> !nickserv
[09:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nickserv - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:02] <shreevatsa> Is this sort of thing usual these days? Long time since I've been here...
[09:02] <DBO> mathieu, they are all vulnerable to the exploit
[09:03] <Seveas> (If you cannot talk: consider registering /msg nickserv help register)
[09:03] <Seveas> hey
[09:03] <Sivik> hi Seveas
[09:03] <Seveas> are those morons registered or did this change?
[09:03] <DBO> what is he registering nicks now...
[09:03] <Seveas> +rR used to suppress part messages
[09:03] <AfterDeath> evidently it doesn't :/
[09:03] <DBO> it was already set but heh...
[09:03] <mathrick> DBO: aha, makes sense
[09:04] <NullVector> where can I find repository signature keys?
[09:04] <Seveas> DBO, apparently he's registering
[09:04] <AfterDeath> which means its probably best to simply -rR
[09:04] <Seveas> AfterDeath, yeah
[09:04] <bettsp> If I dist-upgrade to Edgy Eft, will I be able to start in console mode and roll those changes back if they go badly?
[09:04] <dkmx> mathrick: i tried noapic nolapic and pci=noacpi but it is still the same, nothing happens
[09:04] <AfterDeath> md!!!!
[09:04] <AfterDeath> good to see you here
[09:04] <Seveas> bettsp, no
[09:05] <Sivik> could an issue with apic cause errors with a wireless card?
[09:05] <Zooliegsm> 	i want to do a backup,i mounted a 20gb matrox winchester with fat32 fs,and i started to copy the thing i need.but after a few mp3 and other files the disk is marked as full,but i do nothing.i lost my 16,4gb.....whats the problem? what i need to do?if i mount it,ubuntu says immidietly that "not enough space on drive".
[09:05] <brian_>
[09:05] <decoded> SPAM! SPAM! SPAM!
[09:05] <bettsp> Zooliegsm: Weird things like that often happen with corrupt filesystems
[09:06] <mathrick> dkmx: try acpi=off
[09:06] <mathrick> and "safe graphics"
[09:06] <bsmntbombdood> decoded: time you stop that
[09:06] <dkmx> k
[09:06] <JoseStefan> what a mess *sigh*
[09:06] <Zooliegsm> and what can i do?
[09:09] <pustota1> question: I want to set sshd server in my "desktop" installation. how do I go for it ?
[09:09] <_gpg_> salut
[09:09] <Seveas> pustota1, apt-get install openssh-server
[09:10] <_gpg_> j'ai une question un peu ... neuneu ... quelqu'un connait des jeux d'enfants 3-4 ans sur ubuntu :)
[09:10] <Seveas> !fr
[09:10] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[09:10] <pustota1> really ? that simple, ok. many thanks. in general, what is the grade of overlapping with the "usual" Debian installation procedure ?
[09:10] <RobHu> Hello. When the sound device is opened on my PC I get a high pitched whistle as well as the actual sound that should be played. Can someone help me please? I am running the latest normal Ubuntu release and my sound hardware is reported by lspci to be 000:00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[09:10] <_gpg_> crap
[09:11] <_gpg_> sry
[09:11] <_gpg_> .join ubuntu-fr
[09:11] <DBO>  /cs u ScribbleJ
[09:11] <Seveas> pussfeller, mostly the same
[09:11] <DBO> erm
[09:11] <Seveas> DBO, ;)
[09:11] <Seveas> RobHu, turn PCM up and MASTER down
[09:12] <viator> ubuntu should have rockbox firmwares in the repos
[09:12] <viator> its gpled
[09:13] <viator> and makes it so ipods have ogg support
[09:13] <RobHu> Seveas: This happens when say I have clicked on a mp3 and Totem loads to play it but it cant even start playing the mp3
[09:13] <powerbook`> How many partitions should I make for dual booting mac os x and ubuntu?
[09:13] <dkmx> mathrick: It works, Thank you very much !
[09:13] <Arin> /nick
[09:13] <Arin> oops
[09:13] <Arin> ^^
[09:13] <Valex0xff> is anyone here well versed in alsa?
[09:13] <powerbook`> How many partitions should I make for dual booting mac os x and ubuntu?
[09:13] <Valex0xff> I need a bit of help and is curious if anyone could do it
[09:14] <Seveas> !anyone
[09:14] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:14] <viator> you need to resize the partion that osx is in
[09:14] <Descentio1> is there a defualt root password for when i type in "su"
[09:14] <ChaosFan> Descentio1: no
[09:14] <Sivik> why isn't my wireless card assigning an ip when i am getting a valid ap on my iwconfig
[09:14] <Seveas> !root > Descentio1
[09:14] <viator> then make a large partion for ubuntu and a small one for swap
[09:14] <powerbook`> viator how big should each be?
[09:14] <Sivik> Descentio1, you should have entered one when you were installing, it might be the same password you used when you configured a user
[09:15] <Descentio1> alright
[09:15] <RobHu> Seveas: Is there a 'test sound' or something I can play that comes with ubuntu?
[09:15] <viator> depends on your harddrive
[09:15] <mathrick> dkmx: velbekommen
[09:15] <foo> Has anyone ever set up ultravnc client to connect to vncviewer -listen on linux?
[09:15] <viator> and how much you want to assigne
[09:15] <dkmx> :)
[09:15] <ChaosFan> Descentio1: you could use sudo su to use your user's pw and then use passwd to set your root-pw
[09:15] <powerbook`> viator: i thouht it was moer, but it says its 55.9 GB
[09:15] <Valex0xff> is there a way to make it so that master voulme is tied into pcm because turning up and down my master volume does nothing right now
[09:15] <powerbook`> is 20 GB enough for ubuntu? then how many is needed for swap?
[09:16] <powerbook`> 768ish ram
[09:16] <Sivik> yes
[09:16] <viator> like i have an 80 gb hd windows is 20 59  for ubunutu and 1 for swap
[09:16] <Valex0xff> PCM is the only thing that effects sound right now
[09:16] <mathrick> powerbook`: yes, it's more than enough
[09:16] <Sivik> powerbook`, add twice the amount of swap as you have ram
[09:16] <Descentio1> thank you
[09:16] <powerbook`> so
[09:16] <Sivik> powerbook`, and you only need like 5 gb for a full ubuntu install
[09:16] <viator> 512 mb for swap is fine
[09:16] <viator> though
[09:16] <powerbook`> 30 gb mac, 20 gb ubuntu, 1.5 gb swap?
[09:16] <ChaosFan> yes, 512mb swap should suffice
[09:16] <ryedunn> why does GRUB say my root partition is in /dev/hda5 when it looks like its in /media/hda5  (either way I cant get it to boot)
[09:16] <powerbook`> or 40 gb mac, 10 ubuntu 1.5 swap?
[09:16] <powerbook`> oh
[09:16] <powerbook`> 512?
[09:17] <pere> How do I get access to network shares from programs like XFburn?
[09:17] <viator> swap is like virtual ram/memory kinda
[09:17] <Sivik> powerbook`, double the amount of ram you have for swap
[09:17] <Sivik> powerbook`, is a good rule of thumb
[09:17] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: /media/hda5 is a mount point, /dev/hda5 is a device file
[09:17] <powerbook`> so 1.5 gb then
[09:17] <Sivik> powerbook`, yes, thats good
[09:17] <powerbook`> so 30 gb mac, 20 gb ubuntu 1.5 swap
[09:17] <powerbook`> got it
[09:17] <powerbook`> what format?
[09:17] <ChaosFan> powerbook`: you mean filesystem?
[09:17] <Sivik> powerbook`, ext2, ext3 or reinfs
[09:17] <viator> macs has to stay the same
[09:17] <viator> hfs+
[09:18] <powerbook`> uhh im partitioning in the mac disk utility
[09:18] <viator> ubuntu is ext3
[09:18] <powerbook`> so mac os extended (journaled) mac os extended unix file system or free space?
[09:18] <viator> swap is swap
[09:18] <NullVector> can soemone help me with installing Openoffice.org, I am getting md5sum errors. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22348
[09:18] <ryedunn> Chaos okay.. any idea why it might be hanging and erroring out with a ""ALERT! /dev/hda5 does not exits. Dropping to a shell!""
[09:18] <Sivik> yeah
[09:18] <powerbook`> im new to linux, im confused
[09:18] <ChaosFan> powerbook`: free space
[09:18] <powerbook`> okay
[09:18] <Sivik> NullVector, are you downloading via apt-get or the website?
[09:18] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: maybe /dev/hda5 does not exist. how many partitions do you have?
[09:18] <powerbook`> so 30 gb for mac o extended the rest free space?
[09:18] <NullVector> Sivik: apt-get
[09:18] <ryedunn> 6 + swap
[09:18] <viator> somtimes ya have to turn off journalizing to resize hfs right?
[09:19] <NullVector> Sivik: I also attempted to install through teh add/remove programs
[09:19] <ChaosFan> powerbook`: yes. partition the free space using the partitioner provided by the ubuntu installer
[09:19] <viator> unless osx inst installed
[09:19] <viator> yet
[09:19] <Sivik> NullVector, do you have the us.archive.com/ubuntu?  if so, get rid of the us in front of it, the stuff from those servers are fubared
[09:19] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: and your root partition is the last one??
[09:19] <ryedunn> no its second..
[09:19] <NullVector> Sivik: looks liek the cd is possibly corrupt, even though I recently did a fresh install off it
[09:20] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: then try to boot /dev/hda2
[09:20] <Sivik> NullVector, you know you can change where it downloads the packages from by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:20] <NullVector> Sivik: will try
[09:20] <ryedunn> sure, 1 min
[09:20] <Sivik> NullVector, comment out the cd, thats what the repos are for
[09:20] <viator> theres a howto
[09:20] <viator> in the forums
[09:21] <Sivik> NullVector, you can also search repo at wiki.ubuntu.com
[09:22] <marcin_ant> hi guys
[09:22] <marcin_ant> could you tell me how to change user's primary group from CLI?
[09:22] <ryedunn> chaos can I msg you with the volume info?  (dont think the channel would appreciate to see it here)
[09:22] <iLikeSpoons> ryedunn, use pastebin
[09:22] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: use a pastebin ;0
[09:22] <powerbook`> Ok so, 31 GB of Mac, and 24.77 GB of Free space, and when I get the ubuntu cds I ordered, it will partition it?
[09:23] <ChaosFan> like http://nopaste.info or something like that
[09:23] <pere> I have mounted a smb-network share, through "places-connect to server". It is availiable from my desktop, and from some Gnome programs. I cant find it in programs like XFBurn. Anybody know where it can be found?
[09:23] <ChaosFan> powerbook`: it will give you the opportunity to partition it, yes ;)
[09:23] <Sivik> powerbook`, yes, and why are you ordering them, instead of just downloading them?
[09:23] <iLikeSpoons> ryedunn - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[09:23] <Sivik> powerbook`, do you only have dial-up or something?
[09:23] <NullVector> Sivik: thanks at least the actual install is starting now. lets hope it finishes
[09:23] <ScribbleJ> pere /media ?
[09:24] <Sivik> NullVector: are you installing from the cd or just adding the office stuff?
[09:24] <compengi> powerbook` simply download ubuntu, it would take you around 6 weeks to be shipped :D
[09:24] <Sivik> compengi, thats what i just suggested
[09:24] <pere> ScribbleJ. No, not in /media or /mnt
[09:24] <powerbook`> compengi I already ordered it a few days ago, I want to order it :s not download
[09:24] <powerbook`> ill be fine waiting
[09:24] <Sivik> powerbook`, very well
[09:24] <NullVector> Sivik: I commented out the cd in the sources list and I removed the us. in the us.archive/ubuntu
[09:24] <RobHu> Hello. When the sound device is opened on my PC I get a high pitched whistle as well as the actual sound that should be played. If I change any of the volume sliders the sound permanently dies. Can someone help me please? I am running the latest normal Ubuntu release and my sound hardware is reported by lspci to be 000:00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[09:25] <Sivik> NullVector: also, uncomment all the other repos there and take out all the us's
[09:25] <powerbook`> is 25.77 GB fine for swap partition AND ubuntu?
[09:25] <Flannel> powerbook`: definately
[09:25] <Sivik> NullVector, that allows for adding of more stuff
[09:25] <ChaosFan> powerbook`: yes
[09:25] <Sivik> powerbook`, yes
[09:25] <powerbook`> Okay
[09:25] <blue-frog> marcin_ant: man usermod
[09:25] <compengi> powerbook` your choice
[09:25] <ryedunn> Chaosfan: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22353
[09:25] <ChaosFan> powerbook`: but trust me that 512MB of swap will suffice. i hardly use more than 800MB of ram, and that's when firefox uses about 300megs ;)
[09:25] <NullVector> Sivik, I removed all the US's, but didn't comment out anything but the cd's what else should I be commenting out?
[09:26] <rev11> what does it mean when installing ubuntu amd64 and it says something like "cannot start X server" during install and then sends me to command line
[09:26] <Awesome-o2000> you need 200gb of swap, at least :))
[09:26] <Sivik> NullVector, no, uncomment the rest of those other repos and remove the #
[09:26] <Sivik> Awesome-o2000, do you mean 200MB?
[09:26] <pere> If I use the "file Browser", it shows to the left: Desktop, File System, Floppy Drive and the Network Drive. If I try browsing from XFBurn, it just shows FileSystem
[09:26] <Awesome-o2000> I was being a funny guy
[09:26] <Sivik> rev11, thats cause the xorg.conf isn't configured right yet
[09:26] <ChaosFan> oh
[09:27] <NullVector> Sivik: oh, gotcha, I already did that. and thanks again, OpenOffice is installed now
[09:27] <Sivik> NullVector, yw
[09:27] <rev11> how would i do that?
[09:27] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: i think you need to boot /dev/hda1 and add real_root=/dev/hda2 as an option to your kernel
[09:27] <Sivik> rev11, uh, you go into /etc/X11 and figure out what kind of hardware you use and set the drivers up correctly
[09:27] <rev11> ok great, ill tthat
[09:27] <rev11> thanks
[09:27] <Sivik> rev11, try making the driver for the monitor into vesa and it should come up, and then you can fix it from there
[09:27] <pere> Anybody know, if you mount a network drive through the gnome menues: Where is it really mounted?
[09:28] <ryedunn> k
[09:28] <Sivik> rev11, does that make sense
[09:28] <rev11> yea, ill try that
[09:28] <rev11> thanks
[09:28] <Sivik> rev11, yw
[09:29] <djm62> What's the Right Way to enable dma on my CD/DVD writer? it wasn't on by default apparently...

[09:31] <Sivik> JamieBE: you have to go into the properties of the drive, or use fdisk /dev/sda
[09:31] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: any other hard drives in your system?
[09:32] <JamieBE> Sivik: How to I enter the properties of the drive?
[09:32] <raziekiel> Is there any way to repair my gui? Or should I just reinstall
[09:32] <foo> Has anyone ever set up ultravnc client to connect to vncviewer -listen on linux?
[09:32] <Sivik> JamieBE, just use fdisk /dev/sda and type m for the help menu and you should be able to press something in order to change the name of the volume

[09:35] <cogitatus> sivik; the repos i used to connect to worked fine though
[09:35] <ChaosFan> runge: it also shows ub when you hit "e" while hilighting the entry you want to boot in grub's boot menu

[09:36] <ChaosFan> runge: sorry, mistabbed ;)
[09:36] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: it also shows ub when you hit "e" while hilighting the entry you want to boot in grub's boot menu
[09:36] <Sivik> cogitatus, normally when a connection is refused, is because the server are down
[09:36] <dragonfyre13> Sivik: It shows an error code -5961. An issue establishing an encrypted connection

[09:37] <Sivik> cogitatus, go into the /etc/apt and vi the sources.list
[09:37] <Flannel> cogitatus: you need to look in the details
[09:37] <ChaosFan> bettsp: and afterwards you do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

[09:38] <bettsp> longwave: Yep, I already backed up my entire system
[09:38] <dragonfyre13> Sivik: even before I login. Pretty much it happens on all https connections. Even when I visit paypal.com it happens

[09:39] <Sivik> dragonfyre13, thats an older version, have you upgraded your system laty
[09:39] <JamieBE> Does anyone know how to change a hard disk's name using fdisk or any other tool?
[09:39] <jdmpike> any ruby developers in here?
[09:39] <Sivik> cogitatus, screww synaptic, use the command line
[09:39] <Sivik> JamieBE, i'm getting there
[09:39] <dragonfyre13> Sivik: I'll do an apt-get upgrade
[09:39] <dave> irda anyone?
[09:40] <JamieBE> Sivik: sorry.
[09:40] <jdmpike> I am trying to configure eclipse to work with ruby on rails and having a hard time figuring out where debian puts everything...

[09:41] <ryedunn> Chaos I think we are very close.. I saw it starting up networking, etc.. then they arrors started with No such file or direcotry while trying to open /dev/hda8  (How do I change all this to hde8?)
[09:41] <JamieBE> It's asking for a Hex code???
[09:41] <cogitatus> sivik, just ping <url> in terminal?
[09:41] <Sivik> yes, for the format of the partition type
[09:41] <Sivik> cogitatus, yes
[09:41] <jerryb> All: anyone know why installing cpufreqd and/or cpudyn wants to remove ubuntu-desktop?
[09:41] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: i think your /etc/fstab is wrong
[09:42] <cogitatus> ping: unknown host http://archive.ubuntu.com
[09:42] <Sivik> don't add the http:// before it, just type archive.ubuntu.com
[09:42] <|thunder> cogitatus, ping ubuntu.com
[09:42] <Knio1> no http://
[09:42] <dragonfyre13> Sivik: nope, already the newest version in the repos.
[09:42] <ryedunn> Chaos how to I edit that?
[09:42] <cogitatus> rgr.
[09:42] <Sivik> dragonfyre13, hum, thats weird
[09:42] <JamieBE> Why can't I just right click and select "Rename" from within the Computer view?
[09:42] <absolut> How do i add restricted multiverse and universe to Synaptic Package Manager?
[09:42] <ChaosFan> ryedunn: try booting a livecd and mounting your root device and so on, then edit /etc/fstab there
[09:42] <Sivik> JamieBE, that might work as well, never done it that way
[09:42] <cogitatus> sivik, it works
[09:42] <ryedunn> ok, thanks
[09:43] <Sivik> cogitatus, when you pinged archive.ubunut.com/ubuntu?
[09:43] <JamieBE> Sivik: Annoyingly enough it doesn't?
[09:43] <cogitatus> augh
[09:43] <viator> cause ya dont have permissions
[09:43] <cogitatus> htf do you stop it pinging...
[09:43] <nahoj> how come shipit did not approve my request for cd's?
[09:43] <ChaosFan> cogitatus: hit <ctrl>-c
[09:43] <Sivik> JamieBE, do what?
[09:43] <cogitatus> chaosfan, thanks.
[09:43] <Sivik> cogitatus, now do a sudo apt-get update
[09:43] <ChaosFan> cogitatus: np ;)
[09:43] <cogitatus> sivik, i pinged ubuntu.com.
[09:44] <JamieBE> That doesn't work Sivik? - Something so simple, why doesn't Ubuntu handle it?
[09:44] <Sivik> JamieBE, what doesn't work?
[09:44] <JamieBE> Changing the Volume name
[09:44] <cogitatus> sivik, still all 111 connection refused errors
[09:44] <davey_> how can i make ubuntu 64 more stable, becasue when i use theme source driver for my wirless card for amd64 it crashes my syst
[09:44] <dragonfyre13> Sivik: I know it has something to do with the images, since it's only on paypal objects, and it doesn't happen when I try to format for printing (Doesn't load images.
[09:44] <AMDXP> home sweet home
[09:44] <Sivik> cogitatus, then i have no clue
[09:44] <cogitatus> could i be getting blocked by the campus network?
[09:44] <viator> do you have permisdsion to change it
[09:45] <viator> is it owned by you
[09:45] <Sivik> dragonfyre13, thats probably an error on their end and not yours
[09:45] <viator> if it is owned by you you can change the name
[09:45] <phiber_optic> does anybody know if there is an upgrade in firefox
[09:45] <martii> dpkg-query  -W -f='${Package}\t${Size}\n'
[09:46] <martii> why it does not show sie
[09:46] <martii> size
[09:46] <martii> size is empty
[09:46] <Sivik> phiber_optic, what version are you currently using
[09:46] <phiber_optic> <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:46] <phiber_optic> sivik
[09:46] <Sivik> phiber_optic, i'm using 1.8.1 but i got it from the edgy repos
[09:46] <lufis> Is there a way to sort installed packages by date?
[09:47] <phiber_optic> 1.8.1??
[09:47] <Sivik> phiber_optic, yes
[09:47] <viator> phiber_optic lol like from the lod
[09:47] <dragonfyre13> Sivik: alright. It doesn't bother me horribly, it's just annoying. Thought I'd check if it was something others were experiencing.
[09:47] <JamieBE> Where can I make a suggestion for future releases of Ubuntu?
[09:47] <mopflite> phiber_optic: <IP_ADDRESS> is the latest dapper version - there is a <IP_ADDRESS> out, but I believe that the ubuntu package maintainer has backported the security update that <IP_ADDRESS> contains into <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:48] <Bazzi> <IP_ADDRESS> contains no security update
[09:48] <Sivik> mopflite, i'm testing edgy and i have 1.8.1b1
[09:48] <phiber_optic> mopflite, so there is no <IP_ADDRESS> update??
[09:48] <snook353> what is a file with a "~" on the end?
[09:48] <Sivik> phiber_optic, why do you need the new update
[09:48] <Bazzi> the .6 thing was windows-only
[09:48] <phiber_optic> the question is why when I enter to windows Live mail i dont have the features
[09:48] <mopflite> phiber_optic: not for dapper, no - there is for other linux distributions I believe
[09:48] <snook353> i'm editing my opera im.css file
[09:48] <Sivik> i have never been able to get opera to work in linux
[09:49] <mopflite> e.g. http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/firefox/<IP_ADDRESS>/
[09:49] <viator> opera works fine
[09:49] <viator> add the repos
[09:49] <Sivik> viator, i never can get it to install
[09:49] <viator> even fromthe .deb
[09:49] <Sivik> viator, which repos
[09:49] <viator> ?
[09:49] <viator> ill get it one sec
[09:49] <Sivik> viator, thats the one i have been trying
[09:49] <JamieBE> Sivik: I tried using something called e2label and tune2fs - Neither of them support volume renaming under Fat32!?
[09:49] <Knio1> hi, i just downloaded the 6.06.1 ubuntu cd, and when it boots to X, i get a corrupted screen: http://sprintf.net/knio/ubuntu1.jpg
[09:49] <Knio1> and ideas on how i can fix this?
[09:50] <snook353> i'm thinking about deleting the im.css~ file, because i think its holding back my changes
[09:50] <Lil_Elfgirl> hi
[09:50] <mart> hi, anyone have 2 mins to explain how to edit a bluez-utils file?
[09:50] <lufis> Is there a way to sort installed packages by the date they were installed? I accidentally installed some critical libraries that were incompatible with the current versions of stuff and I don't know what it was
[09:50] <viator> deb http://deb.opera.com/opera etch non-free
[09:50] <Sivik> ok
[09:50] <Sivik> Knio1, go into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver to vesa
[09:50] <snook353> btw, i'm doing this because i have problems with opera's IRC client displaying smilies
[09:51] <phiber_optic> Does anybody of u use tilda??
[09:51] <rev11> sivik, how do i change it to vesa, cant seem to find it
[09:51] <viator> smilies just do :)
[09:51] <rev11> i just get the prompts when i do the reconfigure command
[09:51] <snook353> "Image"
[09:51] <viator> or :-D
[09:51] <viator> lol
[09:51] <snook353> its says "Image"
[09:51] <Sivik> rev11: go into /etc/X11/xorg.conf via either gedit, or vi, or nano and go down to where it says monitor and change the driver from whatever it is to vesa
[09:52] <Sivik> rev11, and after you do that, it will take you back to prompt, from there, type startx and it should attempt to load the X
[09:52] <snook353> last call for what i file with "~" on the end is?
[09:53] <Samuli^> some bioses really have problems with vesa-drivers. I would advice against them.
[09:53] <Sivik> Samuli^, well, i'm just getting him to try that
[09:53] <DBO> snook353, backup, usually made by gedit
[09:53] <mart> hi, i have searched google, and cannot find how to edit files in console, i cannot seem to give myself permission
[09:53] <snook353> ok, thanks!
[09:53] <Lil_Elfgirl> hi I wasx just wondering if ubuntu is good for gamming
[09:53] <Sivik> mart: when you are opening the file, type sudo first
[09:53] <mart> tried that
[09:53] <blue-frog> mart: sudo vi file
[09:53] <mart> it changed the error to no mime type
[09:53] <Sivik> mart: so you don't know you admin password?
[09:53] <mart> i will try that now
[09:54] <mart> i have my pass
[09:54] <Sivik> sudo nano/vi file
[09:54] <easytiger> ha. mart. i wrote a piece of software called mart once
[09:54] <mart> aw sweet you named it after me?
[09:54] <Sivik> and then it should ask for a password and then when you leave, if vi (wq to save and close) and i'm not real sure what the commands for gedit are
[09:54] <easytiger> before you mart. before you.
[09:54] <mart> gedit is what i tried.. no joy
[09:54] <mart> gimme a sec
[09:55] <Abst> When I open GAIM and someone on MSN has added me it automatically closes about 5 seconds after login, and help?
[09:55] <JamieBE> Sivik: I figured it out. There is a tool called mtools - It allows modification of volume names for FAT32 USB drives under Ubuntu. Is there any way of suggesting that this simple command actually works in the next release of Ubuntu?
[09:55] <Sivik> JamieBE, good for you, i don't use FAT32 anymore
[09:56] <Sivik> JamieBE, especially on this computer since i don't have this nasty thing call microcrap installed on it
[09:56] <rev11> hm the xorg was blank :P
[09:56] <PingunZ> I have no sound with youtube movies .. How can I fix this ?
[09:56] <ChaosFan> rev11: xorg.conf is blank?
[09:56] <Knio1> (what's the vi command to save?)
[09:56] <rev11> yea.... let me try rebooting the install.
[09:56] <absolut> How do I get wma support?
[09:57] <JamieBE> Sivik: What FS do you use for external drives?
[09:57] <phiber_optic> if i want to install vmware to run other os which one should i install VMware workstation, VMWare server?
[09:57] <Abst> Anyone know a msn client for linux otherthan Gaim?
[09:58] <phiber_optic> Abst, amsn
[09:58] <blue-frog> phiber_optic: wmare-player
[09:58] <Abst> phiber_optic, Okay
[09:58] <tech13> How do I setup a hotkey for when no one is logged in? I use Dvorak and the others that use my machine use Qwerty, I have an extra key on the keyboard that isn't used for anything under linux (suspend/sleep key).
[09:58] <jerryb> All: anyone know why installing cpufreqd and/or cpudyn wants to remove ubuntu-desktop?
[09:58] <janbanan> Does anyone know where I can find a nice LinuxDC++ icon for my desktop?
[09:58] <phiber_optic> blue-frog,  its free right?
[09:58] <Lil_Elfgirl> Abst there is kopete I believe thats the name
[09:58] <Abst> Also is it safe to remove package ubuntu-desktop?
[09:58] <Lil_Elfgirl> or kopeat
[09:59] <viator> kqemu
[09:59] <mart> thanks for that
[09:59] <mart> nano worked
[09:59] <mart> vi got confused :P
[09:59] <blue-frog> phiber_optic: player yes, station no
[09:59] <viator> server andf player are free
[09:59] <viator> you pay for workstation
[09:59] <phiber_optic> what are the differences?
[10:00] <phiber_optic> I just want to try to see performance of running windows, slack etc
[10:00] <viator> player just runs images

[10:00] <blue-frog> phiber_optic: player you need either an existing "image" or you create one yourself
[10:00] <viator> you can creater them with server  / workstation
[10:00] <Knio1> woo X started
[10:01] <phiber_optic> what do u mean an "image"
[10:01] <rev11> xorg is blank in vi
[10:01] <rev11> what the.
[10:01] <blue-frog> phiber_optic: best thing for you is to go to vmware site and read

[10:09] <brian_>     SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted.

[10:09] <Knio1> sudo iwconfig ethX essid apname
[10:10] <ladydoor> chuckyp: apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades you to a new distribution, whereas upgrade just upgrades your packages to the latest available in your current distro

[10:22] <Girth> i just installed ubuntu.I already had windows installed so I had to change the partition size and everything but that all went fine. after it was finished installing I rebooted and expected to see grub pop up but I get nothing but a straight boot to windows. anyone know how to fix this?
[10:23] <fyrestrtr> Girth: you don't see anything that indicates grub is loading?
[10:23] <Girth> nothing at all it just boots straight to windows
[10:23] <fyrestrtr> Girth: sounds like grub wasn't installed at the mbr.
[10:24] <rev11> thats the thing, i dont see Monitor then driver under that, the only driver is the video device and thats ati.
[10:24] <rev11> and if i change that it just goes blank
[10:24] <Shadowpillar> so what's so different about the 3 different kernels?
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> rev11: why don't you just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[10:24] <rev11> did that
[10:24] <Shadowpillar> -23 -25 -26?
[10:24] <rev11> doesnt work
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> what video card do you have?
[10:24] <rev11> ati x850
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> laptop?
[10:25] <Girth> how exactly do I go about fixing that?
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> !grub > Girth

[10:26] <aburton> I have an msi k8n neo4 platinum running  desktop amd64 and an analog set of 5.1 speakers. I can only get output from one speaker. What should I do?
[10:26] <rev11> i dont know if im just stupid or something, but there is nothing that says driver
[10:26] <mart> is there any way to drag files to copy them in the gui rather than console, when it needs a password?
[10:26] <rev11> identifier then option
[10:26] <rev11> thats it
[10:26] <fyrestrtr> rev11: alright tell me from the top, what is the problem you are trying to solve, what have you tried, etc.
[10:26] <sethk> mart, you have to start the file manager as the admin user, with sudo or gksudo whatever
[10:27] <mart> sorry to ask questions like this :P
[10:27] <mart> im exreamly new.....
[10:27] <mart> and i cant type :P lol
[10:27] <fyrestrtr> mart: its alright, how else would you get to know? :)
[10:27] <lotusleaf> mart why not sudo su then copy files in CLI?
[10:27] <lotusleaf> mart if it needs password, sudo su is good then exit to return as user
[10:27] <fyrestrtr> lotusleaf: as he said, he's new :) so he might not know the command in the cli.
[10:27] <sethk> mart, not a problem.  you don't really have to type well to use the console.  Type the first couple of letters of the file name, then press the tab key, and the name will be completed automatically for you.
[10:27] <lotusleaf> fyrestrtr: that's why I suggested it :)
[10:28] <mart> nice advice
[10:28] <mart> make swapping to ubuntu easier knowing i can ask for a little help :)
[10:28] <aburton> where should I go to get help with my problem?
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> mart: the wiki is a great place to spend some quality time if you are new to ubuntu.
[10:28] <rev11> installing ubuntu amd64, got the x server error. tried that update command, do the setup, get to color depth and then it errors(?) and gives command line. so then i was trying to just edit xorg, but i dont see where it says monitor driver, should i add in a line?
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> a lot of questions are answered there.
[10:29] <sethk> mart, ok.  that's not a ubuntu thing, it's really a shell thing.  The bash and zsh shells have the tab completion feature, and both are also available in windows
[10:29] <blue-frog> mart is it compulsory for you to copy files where only root is supposed to have permission?
[10:29] <mart> yeah, read alot of that now
[10:29] <fyrestrtr> rev11: what errors does it give you?
[10:29] <aburton> hello?
[10:29] <rev11> ill do it now 1 sec
[10:29] <mart> its actually for a skin for msn messenger
[10:29] <mart> cant copy the file as it says i dont have permission
[10:29] <fyrestrtr> rev11: errors are in /var/log/X11/Xorg.0.log
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> mart: what are you trying to copy and to where?
[10:30] <blue-frog> mart what file from where to where?
[10:30] <mart> normally i wouldnt care but the fonts on the current skin are squashed :P
[10:30] <mart> copying from my desktop folder
[10:30] <sethk> mart, nothing wrong with copying files of that sort
[10:30] <mart> to usr/share/amsn
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> mart: the command you want is: sudo cp ~/Desktop/nameoffile /usr/share/amsn/
[10:30] <aburton> can anyone read what I'm typing? (I'm not sure)
[10:31] <blue-frog> mart sudo cp /home/mart/Desktop/file /usr/share/amsn
[10:31] <sethk> mart, there is often an alternate directory somewhere in $HOME for such files to be copied, but I don't know whether that's true for that particular program
[10:31] <shut-> hey i got jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin downloaded

[10:33] <fyrestrtr> !ntfs > sris
[10:33] <blue-frog> sris: you sure you installed ubuntu or you are running on the livecd?
[10:33] <fyrestrtr> sris: welcome, and read what ubotu sent you in a private message
[10:33] <JoseStefan> fyrestrtr, i think dpkk-reconfigure makes backups by default

[10:34] <ScribbleJ> Chaosphillip, apt-get install build-essentials
[10:34] <sris> NthDegree: yes?
[10:34] <chaosphilipp> libnjb

[10:34] <rev11> what next
[10:35] <sris> NthDegree: i've got six drives in this box ;)
[10:35] <chaosphilipp> scribble: gonna try this
[10:35] <NthDegree> sris: you need to mount the NTFS partitions to mount points
[10:35] <fyrestrtr> rev11: now run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:35] <canine_kouji> is there a technical ubuntu channel where there aren't any newbies?
[10:35] <ScribbleJ> it might be build-essential with no 's', I can never remember.
[10:35] <sethk> chaosphilipp, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:35] <PreZLaptop> this is kind of cool
[10:35] <fyrestrtr> rev11: go through the options, let it create a new file.

[10:35] <rev11> yea did that and didnt get an error
[10:35] <fyrestrtr> rev11: then, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

[10:35] <sris> NthDegree: well i've tried that. but they're allready mounted. but i cant access them. well im gonna read the guide before asking anything else.
[10:36] <chaosphilipp> sethk: just apt-get seems to work

[10:36] <NthDegree> sris, try accessing them as root
[10:36] <dmoyne> hello : ; has anybody made ldap server work with SSL mode ?
[10:36] <compengi> sris you can access them (read them) but you can't write to them
[10:36] <fyrestrtr> rev11: okay, pastebin you /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:36] <NthDegree> sris, you usually need root access to access most NTFS partitions
[10:36] <sris> compengi: nah, cant read them either
[10:37] <NthDegree> sris, try gksudo nautilus then have a look
[10:37] <fyrestrtr> sris: you need to mount them first.

[10:37] <sris> fyrestrtr: they're allready mounted. if i try to mount them i get an error saying they're allready mounted ;)
[10:37] <NthDegree> sris, gksudo nautilus will give you access to the file manager as root
[10:37] <ChaosFan> sris: whar exactly do you want? a root shell?
[10:38] <|thunder> sris you can do 'sudo bash' to stay as root. then 'exit' to get back to normal user
[10:38] <chaosphilipp> ./configure does a whole lot more now....let's see what's going to happen
[10:38] <sris> ChaosFan: I want to access my ntfs-partitions, and learn more about linux ;)
[10:38] <NthDegree> |thunder, or sudo -i which is much more complete
[10:38] <sris> |thunder: ah ok.

[10:40] <NthDegree> glassbits, try using a different window manager
[10:40] <glassbits> its a unichrome thts fairly recent and its certainly better than i810
[10:40] <|thunder> glassbits, apple does things differently. they use Quartz Extreme to utilize openGL in ATI cards to accellerate the desktop. the slosest we have is compiz. that is open accellerated.
[10:41] <ScribbleJ> MrParanoia, what did you do?
[10:41] <richiefrich> MrParanoia archlinux is great
[10:41] <MrParanoia> ubuntu 6.06.1
[10:41] <egon_spengler> fyrestrtr, The unichrome is a fairly recent via integrated video chipset.
[10:41] <Ayabara> ScribbleJ: ok. I need a nice gui :-)
[10:41] <simplydazed> eightball: i just disabled ACPI, it's staying up now.  Maybe its not available, and you can fetch and install it.
[10:42] <richiefrich> |thunder then do you have support ?  cat /proc/filesystems | grep hf
[10:42] <richiefrich> |thunder  --> hfsplus  <-- do you see that
[10:43] <|thunder> richiefrich, nope
[10:43] <glassbits> its the latest driver i can get, the one on freedesktop is older and ran slower
[10:43] <compengi> is ubuntu 6.06.1 a kernel update or a new ubuntu version, or it's an ubuntu server?
[10:43] <richiefrich> |thunder thats why
[10:43] <ChaosFan> compengi: ubuntu version
[10:43] <NthDegree> glassbits, one question why are you using compiz
[10:43] <compengi> O.o
[10:43] <sris> fyrestrtr: didnt that output tell you anything? It probably works just fine. Im just beeing noobish. well, gonna read that beginner help meanwhile
[10:43] <|thunder> richiefrich, hmm, how do I go about adding support.
[10:43] <nownott> anyone know anything thing about reslution and problems
[10:43] <glassbits> my glxgears score is

[10:43] <compengi> ChaosFan is it dapper?
[10:43] <glassbits> i am not using compiz
[10:43] <fyrestrtr> sris: yeah, sorry was caught up in something.
[10:43] <glassbits> i am using xcompmgr
[10:43] <fyrestrtr> sris: type sudo -i
[10:44] <chaosphilipp> re......i now tried
[10:44] <chaosphilipp> cat nomad.usermap >> /etc/hotplug/usb/usb.usermap ; cp nomadjukebox /etc/hotplug/usb/ ; chmod a+x /etc/hotplug/usb/nomadjukebox
[10:44] <chaosphilipp> and it brought me
[10:44] <chaosphilipp> bash: /etc/hotplug/usb/usb.usermap: No such file or directory
[10:44] <chaosphilipp> cp: angegebenes Ziel /etc/hotplug/usb/ ist kein Verzeichnis: No such file or directory
[10:44] <chaosphilipp> chmod: Zugriff auf /etc/hotplug/usb/nomadjukebox nicht mglich: No such file or directory
[10:44] <egon_spengler> fyrestrtr, The driver for the unichrome integrated would be the "via", but I do not thing compiz/XGL are supported
[10:44] <chaosphilipp> btw: i'm trying to work me through this Howto:
[10:44] <chaosphilipp> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=33040
[10:44] <randin> how does one disable agpgart?
[10:44] <vincenz> Anyone
[10:44] <sris> fyrestrtr: done
[10:44] <Slyboots> Im having a unusual issue with Ubunut, Trying to get my TV-card to work with xawtv/tvtime.  I've installed the flgrx drivers and they seem to be operating correctly, but when I execute xawtv the screen blanks out totaly and I have to force-kill gdm from the command line
[10:44] <NthDegree> randin, recompile the kernel without agpgart support
[10:44] <richiefrich> |thunder one of two ways.. edit the kernel or see if you can mount the module.. i dont use the binary kernels i load them "roll" them myself
[10:44] <ChaosFan> compengi: yes, it's dapper
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> sris: cd /tmp/disks-conf-hdg1
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> sris: ls -la
[10:44] <sris> fyrestrtr: works just fine ;)
[10:44] <rev11> is there a version of ubuntu i can get thats not buggy
[10:45] <Slyboots> tvtool simply outputs a error message "Recivecd X Error! : BadValue (interger parmeter out of range for operation)
[10:45] <NthDegree> rev11, yes it's called LFS!!!
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> randin: rmmod agpgart if its a module (lsmod will tell you)
[10:45] <vincenz> Anyone know how to setup a USB-modem...for installing ubuntu????
[10:45] <MrParanoia> ScribbleJ> i'm trying to install vlc but there is no package to apt-get so i am trying to install it from tarball and i keep getting a message that ffmpeg is missing - i installed a .deb package for it from ubuntu's web site and it still says ffmpeg is missing - also apt-get gstreamer-ffmeg says the package may have been replaced - and so on
[10:45] <randin> ok
[10:45] <ChaosFan> lol
[10:45] <|thunder> richiefrich, can that be accomplished via synaptic ?
[10:45] <ChaosFan> lfs not buggy ^^
[10:45] <compengi> ok, i thought it's new ubuntu version other than dapper
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> rev11: what happened with you? where did you reach?
[10:45] <richiefrich> |thunder  modprobe hfs  <-- you can try
[10:45] <ScribbleJ> MrParanoia, I'm running vlc every day.  LEt me see how I installed it...
[10:45] <sris> fyrestrtr: if i want all users to be able to read them, do i have to unmount them first and then remount with the proper premissions?
[10:45] <richiefrich> |thunder and no you need to config your own if there is no support
[10:45] <Nizo> can someone help me with wifi setup?
[10:45] <rev11> i tried startx or whatyever and it just error again
[10:46] <ChaosFan> NthDegree: lfs - same source, no bugs, or what? ;)
[10:46] <nownott> fyrestrtr: think you can lend me a hand
[10:46] <NthDegree> vincenz, google is your friend USB modems are a PITA
[10:46] <rev11> even after the reconfigure
[10:46] <vincenz> !usb modem
[10:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb modem - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:46] <MrParanoia> rev11> probably a video driver issue
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> depends on your problem nownott
[10:46] <|thunder> i have hfsplus and hfsutils packages installed. says they can do it.
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> sris: yes.
[10:46] <Slyboots> Any possable suggestions on what could be going wrong?
[10:46] <sris> fyrestrtr: ok. thanks
[10:46] <rev11> so now im trying to download the new xserver
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> sris: and for that, read the wiki entry :)
[10:46] <rev11> xorg
[10:46] <richiefrich> |thunder this is why i dont like binary distro.. thats essentially to running linux if they didnt add support then "most" dont know howto "compile" there own kernel
[10:46] <sris> thanks everyboy else too
[10:47] <shut-> E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-bin
[10:47] <fyrestrtr> rev11: slow down, what error did you get? did you pastebin the Xorg.0.log file?
[10:47] <NthDegree> vincenz, USB modems are what ISPs give out for free, unless it's a speedtouch 330/USB chances are life will be hard for you
[10:47] <ScribbleJ> MrParanoia, did you add universe / multiverse to your apt-sources?
[10:47] <nownott> well i upped my reslution on my laptop from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 now my pics and vids look bad
[10:47] <towersoft2> anyone got a min to help me with a small bash script... Just seem to be banging my head against the wall at the mo
[10:47] <shut-> anyone wanna help me

[10:47] <easytiger> ?
[10:47] <fyrestrtr> !java > shut-
[10:47] <richiefrich> |thunder theae are my opinions
[10:47] <fyrestrtr> shut-: read the wiki entry.
[10:47] <fyrestrtr> easytiger: alsa
[10:47] <aburton> anyone have experience with amd64 desktop and audio setup?

[10:47] <chaosphilipp> anyone able to helb me?
[10:47] <rev11> i think ther was to much goin on and i asked how to pastebin and no one responded :P
[10:47] <|thunder> richiefrich, yep. thats alot of work. what a pain
[10:47] <chaosphilipp> helb = help
[10:47] <rev11> so i tried some more things
[10:48] <ChaosFan> easytiger: /dev/dsp
[10:48] <fyrestrtr> !pastebin
[10:48] <Slyboots> !xawtv

[10:48] <|thunder> richiefrich, thanks for the hepl though. I'll ahve to research this one later. ive never recompiled my kernel. ever
[10:48] <nownott> fyrestrtr: well i upped my reslution on my laptop from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 now my pics and vids look bad
 ogle and vmware are saying they can't find it
[10:48] <crimsun> easytiger: 'default', believe it or not.
[10:48] <fyrestrtr> shut-: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java <-- read that, it will tell you how to set it up.
[10:48] <MrParanoia> ScribbleJ> this is the default install
[10:48] <richiefrich> |thunder i bet not many have..
[10:48] <fyrestrtr> nownott: define 'look bad' -- they are distorted?
[10:48] <crimsun> ChaosFan: no, /dev/dsp is the emulated oss device. It's not the default.
[10:48] <ScribbleJ> MrPAranoia, I don't knwo how to walk you through adding universe and multiverse in a graphical way, I'm sorry.
[10:48] <richiefrich> |thunder that is again my pet peeve on all binary distro
[10:48] <|thunder> richiefrich, i've done it in red hat 9.  buit not in ubuntu.
[10:48] <ScribbleJ> But I think if you do you'll find you can just apt-get install vlc
[10:49] <NthDegree> chaosphilipp, tell me your problem in PM
 so what should i point things to?
[10:49] <ChaosFan> and i'm going to bed
[10:49] <|thunder> richiefrich, so, anything other than gentoo you mean ?
[10:49] <crimsun> easytiger: you should not specify anything explicitly unless you must
[10:49] <Enthusiast78> I have jammed my /boot/grub/menu.lst; How do I create a fresh one? I have tried to rename the file and then dpkg-reconfigure grub and aptitude reinstall grub but it didn't even touch the file.
[10:49] <richiefrich> |thunder so then get a kernel at  kernel.org
[10:49] <vincenz> NthDegree: it's a pirelli
[10:49] <richiefrich> |thunder gentoo is not the only source distro
[10:49] <towersoft2> anyone give me a hand with a bash script please?
[10:49] <|thunder> richiefrich, lol, precompiled jern's. funny
[10:49] <fyrestrtr> !grub > Enthusiast78
[10:49] <fyrestrtr> Enthusiast78: read the wiki pages ubotu sent you.
[10:49] <NthDegree> vincenz, my advice is get an ethernet router
[10:49] <nownott> fyrestrtr: well grainy and it looks like bad shading like the light colors light and the dark colors dark
[10:49] <Enthusiast78> fyrestrtr: Thanks, man.
 i didn't. and it tries /dev/dsp and gives an error. ogle is the same
[10:50] <vincenz> NthDegree: the issue is he has no ethernet card
[10:50] <|thunder> richiefrich, thanks again,. im gonna take a nap.
[10:50] <fyrestrtr> nownott: what is the native resolution of your laptop? what kind of video card do you have?
[10:50] <|thunder> later all
[10:50] <richiefrich> |thunder  there are many more ...    Lunar.. ROCK.. sourcemage...  T2
[10:50] <blue-frog> towersoft2: go on ask
[10:50] <richiefrich> |thunder np man
[10:50] <crimsun> easytiger: only one application can open /dev/dsp at a time if your hardware doesn't support pcm multiopen
[10:50] <NthDegree> vincenz, private message me
[10:50] <fyrestrtr> easytiger: you might consider using the dmix plugin.
[10:50] <aburton> anyone? please?
 my hardware does :(
[10:50] <fyrestrtr> aburton: are you still having problems with sound?
[10:51] <crimsun> fyrestrtr: irrelevant for emulated oss
[10:51] <towersoft2> thanks blue!
[10:51] <fyrestrtr> crimsun: is it?
[10:51] <aburton> fyrestrtr: yeah
[10:51] <nownott> fyrestrtr: i believe nvidia geforce 2(old laptop card) and dont know the native resulution
[10:51] <rev11> why is it doing this
[10:51] <fyrestrtr> aburton: have you tried the forums? I think someone else found a solution there.
[10:51] <crimsun> fyrestrtr: /dev/dsp is exclusive (just like non-dmix {plug:,}hw) on hardware that doesn't support pcm multiopen
[10:51] <ScribbleJ> aburton, I have AMD 64 dual core, SoundBlaster 5.1 audio setup and I just had to tweak some sliders in kmixer (under kubuntu) to get it all to work.
[10:51] <aburton> only the center channel/subwoofer is working
[10:52] <fyrestrtr> crimsun: ooh, like my crappola built-in sound card lol
[10:52] <easytiger> so if something insists on an audio device what should i use?
[10:52] <rev11> id rather just download an older version, this is real stupid,
[10:52] <aburton> I used alsamixer-gui
[10:52] <crimsun> easytiger: does the application have a native alsa backend?
[10:52] <easytiger> FATAL[ogle_audio] : failed opening the oss audio driver at /dev/dsp
[10:52] <rev11> because xorg.conf doesnt even have the driver field like everyone says
[10:52] <fyrestrtr> rev11: please, help me to help you. Can you paste /var/log/X11/Xorg.0.log
[10:52] <easytiger> <crimsun: its ogle and vmware.. so i dunno
[10:52] <JoseStefan> !paste
[10:52] <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 (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:52] <nownott>  fyrestrtr: i believe nvidia geforce 2(old laptop card) and dont know the native resulution
[10:52] <JoseStefan> just in case
[10:52] <crimsun> easytiger: and according to ``apt-cache depends ogle'', yes, it does. Configure ogle to use alsa for its backend.
[10:52] <phiber_optic> why when I was trying to install my nvidia card when I did the command sudo nvidia-glx-config enable it gave me an error
[10:53] <rev11> i dont understand wher you want me to paste it
[10:53] <fyrestrtr> nownott: how big is the laptop screen?
[10:53] <rev11> im sorry
[10:53] <sethk> rev11, installing breezy (one version back) is not a bad idea
[10:53] <rev11> :(
[10:53] <easytiger> how? it wont open to the gui
[10:53] <nownott>  fyrestrtr: 17
[10:53] <boricua> can some one shed light how to i try a test call with ekiga  i want to make a pc to land call to test this
[10:53] <Enthusiast78> fyrestrtr: Fine, it created menu.lst for me. Now I want it to add the default Windows entry it put when I installed Ubuntu. Is that possible?
[10:53] <sethk> rev11, when people ask you to post, they mean to a web site.  I'll give you the url in a second
[10:53] <easytiger> and vmwarre has no such options
[10:53] <crimsun> easytiger: read the instructions/man page for ogle
[10:53] <fyrestrtr> nownott: (you can find out what hardware you have, by running any one of the following commands: lspci -v or lshw)
[10:53] <rev11> oh ok cool
[10:53] <fyrestrtr> Enthusiast78: just copy it from the one you have :)
[10:53] <sethk> rev11, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[10:54] <Enthusiast78> fyrestrtr: The problem is: I don't have that entry anymore...
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> rev11: go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and then create a new entry there, then copy and paste the url here. Sorry if I didn't mention this earlier.
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> Enthusiast78: aah lol
[10:54] <boricua> !ekiga
[10:54] <ubotu> ekiga: Free Your Speech. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.1-0ubuntu6 (dapper), package size 3572 kB, installed size 12188 kB
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> Enthusiast78: that webpage should tell you how to set it up again for Windows.
[10:54] <Enthusiast78> fyrestrtr: I could create it manually, but I want the original thing, the one with the "Other operating systems:" text entry and stuff...
[10:54] <rev11> its cool, give me a sec
[10:54] <towersoft2> blue-frog: where is ask m8... Thought it was a channel?
[10:55] <nownott>  fyrestrtr:  product: NV11 [GeForce2 Go]
[10:55] <Enthusiast78> fyrestrtr: There must be a script that Ubuntu ran on the installation to create that thing automatically...
[10:55] <Slyboots> Im having a unusual issue with Ubunut, Trying to get my TV-card to work with xawtv/tvtime.  I've installed the flgrx drivers and they seem to be operating correctly, but when I execute xawtv the screen blanks out totaly and I have to force-kill gdm from the command line
[10:55] <fyrestrtr> Enthusiast78: there is, but I forgot the name, but the wiki pages have the script.
[10:55] <Sid6000> Could anyone help me the gnome network manager? It claims there's no network connection...
[10:55] <MrParanoia> ScribbleJ> i got the universe/multivers repositories added - hopefully that gets things going
[10:56] <Slyboots> If I use tvtime, the display continues but it instantly exits with "Recived X Error : BadValue (Interger parameter out of range for operation)
[10:56] <ScribbleJ> sudo apt-get update
[10:56] <ScribbleJ> sudo apt-get install vlc
[10:56] <Enthusiast78> fyrestrtr: Hmmm, not that page... But I'll keep searching, thanks.
[10:56] <fyrestrtr> nownott: okay, what driver are you using?
[10:56] <blue-frog> towersoft2: ask your question, spit it out..
[10:56] <fyrestrtr> Enthusiast78: the bot should give you two links, its on the page that talks about recovering grub after windows.
[10:57] <nownott> fyrestrtr: i used the easy ubuntu thing to install nvidia drivers
[10:57] <chell> good night everyone
[10:57] <exs> Alternate install CD for PC... I don't understand this?..  I'm trying to figure out what knot-2 i want
[10:57] <Enthusiast78> fyrestrtr: You're absolutely right. Sorry, I overlooked it.  Do you know if its supports anything higher than 1024x768
[10:58] <fyrestrtr> Enthusiast78: happens :)
[10:58] <nownott> fyrestrtr: that i don not know, is there a way to find this out
[10:58] <JoseStefan> !edgy > exs
[10:58] <towersoft2> blue-frog: I am trying to write a script that runs a command in a terminal window.. I just cant get a program to run after it opens the terminal window
[10:58] <fyrestrtr> nownott: well from what you have told me, I'd say it supports 1024x768 max :)
[10:58] <rev11> fyrestrtr: thres nothing in that log file
[10:58] <rev11> and i did everything up to that
[10:58] <exs> JoseStefan:  I understand what edgy is, but what's the difference between Alternate install CD for PC and Desktop CD for PC
[10:58] <sethk> nownott, probably you could find out on the laptop manufacturer's web site
[10:59] <nownott> fyrestrtr: but i win i can run 1280x1024 and it looks fine
[10:59] <JoseStefan> same differences as for ubuntu 6.06 (dapper)
[10:59] <blue-frog> towersoft2: /join #bluefrog to tell me what you want to do..
[10:59] <chuckyp> ls
[10:59] <fyrestrtr> rev11: you have nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[10:59] <rev11> correct
[10:59] <JoseStefan> exs, the download page, should have documentation on that
[10:59] <sethk> exs, the desktop is (theoretically) easier to use and has reasonable defaults for a desktop user.  The alternate lets you control much more about the installation and has options for less common hardware
[10:59] <chuckyp> does anyone know how to switch windows in irssi?
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> rev11: /var/log/Xorg.0.log, not /var/log/X11/Xorg.0.log
[11:00] <exs> sethk:  awesome, cheers.
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> chuckyp: alt+window number
[11:00] <sethk> rev11, it isn't possible that the file exists, but is empty
[11:00] <JoseStefan> chuckyp, i think you use Alt+number
[11:00] <Naik0> My icons on desktop are missing
[11:00] <Naik0> like home folder
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> chuckyp: or, esc+window number
[11:00] <duaneb> how can I mount a logical partition?
[11:00] <rev11> ah there we go i tyoed it wrong, im dumb
[11:00] <exs> sethk:  Also, Where is the 686 version?.. i only see i386
[11:00] <sethk> duaneb, same way you mount any other partition
[11:00] <chuckyp> fyrestrtr: ty both work
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> duaneb: sudo mount -t auto /dev/hdaX /some/where
[11:00] <chuckyp> JoseStefan: ty
[11:01] <sethk> exs, I just install i386 and then upgrade the kernel to 686
[11:01] <duaneb> hdax?
[11:01] <Ekeichi> hi
[11:01] <Ayabara> you got any good themes to recommend for ubuntu? I'm tired of the default look..
[11:01] <sethk> duaneb, yes.  hda5, hda6, whatever
[11:01] <rev11> ok now that i have it, how do i upload it somewhere
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> where X is the number of the partition you want to mount. Try system > administration > disks
[11:01] <duaneb> so I have an extended partition (sda3), and two logical partitions underneath it
[11:01] <exs> sethk:  ok cheers
[11:01] <rev11> so i can send the link in pastebin
[11:01] <sethk> rev11, I gave you the url to the pastebin
[11:01] <Mr_Awesome> hi, i just accidentally overwrote .Xauthority, how can i get it back?
[11:01] <sethk> rev11, do you mean how do you paste it to the paste web site?
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> rev11: basically, you copy the contents, and paste it.
[11:02] <JoseStefan> exs, just remember edgy is far from stable, expect crashes and bugs during the development stage
[11:02] <sethk> rev11, you edit it with an editor, and copy and paste it.
[11:02] <chuckyp> JoseStefan: do you know if irssi supports split screening?
[11:02] <fyrestrtr> rev11: if you cannot open up a browser, join #flood and paste it in there.
[11:02] <exs> JoseStefan:  this is why I use 6.06
[11:02] <rev11> im installing ubuntu theres no interface,
[11:02] <chuckyp> JoseStefan: the man pages aren't very well documented.
[11:02] <sethk> rev11, no, don't paste it here
[11:02] <sethk> rev11 paste it to #flood
[11:02] <rev11> its on the other computer
[11:02] <ChaosFan> chuckyp: irssi does
[11:02] <fyrestrtr> chuckyp: yes, it does /help windows -- and ask in #irssi
[11:02] <sethk> fyrestrtr, that's what #flood is for
[11:02] <exs> JoseStefan:  and install on different partition
[11:02] <Mr_Awesome> anyone know how i can restore .Xauthority ?
[11:03] <fyrestrtr> sethk: that's what I told him to go to :)
[11:03] <ChaosFan> chuckyp: http://f0rked.com/articles/irssisplit
[11:03] <aalex> In the installer, I have an error when I choose start or install : Error reading boot CD. Should I burn it again ?
[11:03] <sethk> fyrestrtr, oh, ok, I must have missed that part  :)
[11:03] <sethk> aalex, worth a try.  did you choose the 'verify cd' thing (might be validate, words to that effect)
[11:04] <rev11> its on the computer im trying to install, so theres o way for me to do such i thing
[11:04] <fyrestrtr> rev11: what irc client are you using?
[11:04] <HeXiOn> hello
[11:04] <aalex> sethk, checking cd for defects
[11:04] <sethk> aalex, also do an md5sum on the downloaded image and make sure it matches the posted md5sum for the iso image on the download site
[11:04] <JJzD> aalex: did you check your download with md5?
[11:04] <sethk> aalex, right.  did it pass that?
[11:04] <_doomer_> dont burn faster then 8x
[11:04] <aalex> sethk, no, error reading CD
[11:04] <Mr_Awesome> hmm, im no longer able to open many applications, can anyone help me out? i need to restore .Xauthority
[11:04] <sethk> aalex, ok, in that case, burn again
[11:04] <aalex> JJzD, no. Ah, thats why there are md5....
[11:04] <sethk> aalex, that can't be caused by a download failure, only by a burn failure
[11:05] <aalex> sethk, i have a gentoo cd nearby.... and i erased mu iso image of ubuntu.... hmmm
[11:05] <aalex> sethk, yeah, thats what i thought
[11:05] <fyrestrtr> Mr_Awesome: ctrl+alt+f1, login, then sudo -i, then type /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then type rm /home/yourlogin/.Xauthority -- then type /etc/init.d/gdm start
