[05:00] <koizo7bsemnick> how can I install true type fonts in UBUNTU?

[05:01] <fog_proxy> Hobbsee: well,thanks
[05:03] <mantono> how do I change the systemwide default charset?
[05:03] <_Roman> I am having trouble getting mplayer to run properly from ubuntu.  I am using ubuntu 6.06 with XGL/Compiz.  I am using an AGP nvidia GeForce MX400 card with the nvidia X driver.  The problem is that mplayer is extremly choppy and eventually locks up completly.  Mplayer does give this warning though:  Xlib:  extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:03] <mordof> frying_fish, do you think there is any chance that the ipw2200 driver would get my card running?
[05:04] <mantono> !charset
[05:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about charset - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:04] <eod_punk> can someone give me a clue as to why my xorg.conf appears empty when I access it from a terminal, and has infomation when I open it through the gui interface?
[05:04] <miranda82> hello, does anyone here know, how i can put TRansparency instead of that awful black bg in gnome-dock? (got Composite enabled)
[05:04] <lakefire> eod_punk > typo?
[05:04] <lakefire> did you use this command: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:04] <mantono> eod_punk: are you root when you open it in the terminal?
[05:04] <eod_punk> I used sudo
[05:04] <frying_fish> mordof: nope, its designed for the ipw2200, but intel just opened all their specs, so there should definately be a driver for ipw3945 now
[05:05] <mordof> there isn't one in the driver list :(
[05:05] <eod_punk> I tried ita bunch of times so I don't think its a typo
[05:05] <mordof> frying_fish, i guess they are just taking their time in adding better wireless support
[05:05] <lakefire> pretty alt + f2, copy and paste what i put in above and make sure to check run in terminal
[05:05] <eod_punk> I'm trying to add some resolution to my monitor thats not listed.
[05:05] <miranda82> does anyone here know, how i can put TRansparency instead of that awful black bg in gnome-dock? (got Composite enabled)
[05:08] <brian98> mordof: Ndiswrapper is your friend if you can't get native drivers
[05:08] <miranda82> hi=
[05:08] <miranda82> hi?
[05:09] <mordof> brian98, i'm looking for native drivers, there are native ones as it works in the older kernel
[05:09] <Healot> not really your friend, but it does help solve half of your problems
[05:09] <mordof> brian98, in 386 my wireless card works perfect, in 686 it is hardly recognized
[05:09] <WD_Raptor> Helo
[05:09] <mordof> but i need to use 686 to recognize dual core
[05:09] <WD_Raptor> I am using VMWare to run ubuntu
[05:09] <WD_Raptor> can I install programs in that
[05:09] <WD_Raptor> ?
[05:09] <eod_punk> ndiswrapper rocks as long as you can find a driver that works
[05:09] <frogzoo> WD_Raptor: of course
[05:09] <WD_Raptor> how
[05:10] <WD_Raptor> when I download rpms they don't work
[05:10] <Jeruvy> WD_Raptor: just like you normally would...something not making sense to you?
[05:10] <eod_punk> I couldn't get my windows driver to work through it in linux but found a slightly different one that worked
[05:10] <miranda82> does anyone here know, how i can put TRansparency instead of that awful black bg in gnome-dock? (got Composite enabled)
[05:10] <brian98> mordof: ok, I just spent so much time trying to get native drivers for wireless working and gave up!
[05:10] <WD_Raptor> doesn;t work
[05:10] <jjjjjjj> aren't rpm's for redhat?
[05:10] <brian98> mordof: Even when the card is recognised it's not always guaranteed to work....
[05:10] <eod_punk> miranda82, do you mean in the cube background with xgl?
[05:11] <mordof> brian98, .. i've got the ipw3945.. it works in the same kernel but the 386 version
[05:11] <mordof> i don't understand why it wouldn't work in the 686 version :(
[05:11] <miranda82> eod_punk, in normal xorg,
[05:11] <miranda82> eod_punk, gnome-dock ?
[05:11] <eod_punk> oh ok sorry
[05:11] <MrFeetio> where can i find the defualt repo list, mine is gone
[05:11] <seif> hello, ubuntu is creating folders in root file system, with names of around 30 charachters, each folder contains a file $shtdwn$.req, can i delete those?
[05:11] <brian98> mordof: I don't have 64 bit so I can't help you my man..
[05:11] <godfather> guys
[05:11] <godfather> finally
[05:11] <seif> they look annoying
[05:11] <mordof> brian98, 686 is the 64 bit version?
[05:11] <godfather> i've installed real player
[05:12] <brian98> thats what I mean
[05:12] <brian98> I don't have it!
[05:12] <brian98> :)
[05:12] <mordof> no i know i didn't realize 686 was the 64 bit version
[05:12] <godfather> but i wish to launch it not frome console but fro an icon on the desktop
[05:12] <godfather> what i can do
[05:12] <godfather> i tried to use alcarte
[05:12] <jjjjjjj> ya godfather... took a bit of hair pulling with ubuntu running on a mac G4.
[05:12] <godfather> but i doesn't se real player
[05:12] <ubitux> coucou
[05:12] <mordof> brian98, see i didn't know specifically what changed between the two versions, but since now i know it's the 64 bit version.. things can be different with drivers
[05:12] <Healot> amd64-generic or something like that is 64-bit kernel package
[05:12] <ubitux> oups sorry
[05:13] <godfather> jjjjjj?
[05:13] <Healot> 686 is 32-bit
[05:13] <mordof> in which case i may just put up with switching kernels and losing a core when i want to go wireless
[05:13] <mordof> Healot, oh
[05:13] <mordof> then i still don't know what is wrong, lol
[05:13] <jjjjjjj> nothing... just commenting on your real player msg.
[05:13] <godfather> can you help me
[05:13] <muhammad> heey how can i play .cue and .bin files i have tried with mplayer but itsnt workin
[05:14] <godfather> ?
[05:14] <spiekey> ask #mplayer
[05:14] <Healot> muhammad: those are CD images
[05:14] <Healot> !info nrg2iso
[05:14] <Healot> !info bchunk
[05:14] <muhammad> Healot yea i know
[05:14] <muhammad> !bchunk
[05:14] <mordof> Healot, so then do you have any idea why the ipw3945 wouldn't work in 686 and works perfect in 386?
[05:14] <Healot> you need to convert and then mount the ISP image
[05:15] <Healot> mordof: iirc, it doesn't compile correctly ? or maybe something else
 aha but is there any tools i can download like daemon tools on windows ?
[05:15] <mordof> hmmm
[05:15] <nahoj> I have no network when I boot from a 6.06.1 LTS Ubuntu Desktop cd. what should I do? the network does not appear after install either..
[05:16] <mordof> Healot, do you know if there is a way to get dual core support in the 386 version then?
[05:16] <miranda82> does anyone here know, how i can put TRansparency instead of that awful black bg in gnome-dock? (got Composite enabled)
[05:16] <Healot> you need a 686 kernel, iirc, 686 kernel supports SMP
[05:16] <ozium> Hi all. Is there something wrong with the repos? My internet is fine, but when installing software I get like 30kb/s. 250kb/s is normal for my connection.
[05:17] <muhammad> !bchunck
[05:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bchunck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:17] <godfather> is there anyone can help me
[05:17] <Healot> bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (dapper), package size 12 kB, installed size 68 kB
[05:17] <mordof> Healot, hmm, i did top.. i have the ipw3945 driver running, grr this is frustrating -.-
[05:18] <Healot> did you configure the interface yet?
[05:18] <jjjjjjj> what is the problem with realplayer godfather?
[05:18] <godfather> i've just installed
[05:18] <Healot> from my own experience the driver is buggy with the 64-bit kernel, causes me portable to crash
[05:18] <godfather> but i have launch it frome console
[05:19] <godfather> how can i launch it from an icon
[05:19] <godfather> in sound&video categories
[05:19] <godfather> i tried with alcarte
[05:19] <godfather> but it doesn't see realplauer
[05:19] <mordof> Healot, i'll just give up on it for now.. i guess i can handle only running single core to get wireless if i need to
[05:20] <mordof> Healot, besides, i kept windows xp as a dual boot because the website said my wireless card wouldn't work at all.. i was just suprised it would work, heh.. so i have an alternative
[05:20] <jjjjjjj> i'm not sure if this is the proper solution godfather but have you tried right clicking the applications menu?
[05:20] <mordof> not like i can't use it at all
[05:20] <jjjjjjj> > edit menus
[05:21] <mordof> Healot, one question though.. in the boot menu, when i switch from 386 to 686... does my UI or any of my programs change?
[05:21] <mordof> will it change anything
[05:22] <miranda82> does anyone here know, how i can put TRansparency instead of that awful black bg in gnome-dock? (got Composite enabled)

[05:32] <opexoc> I need cubs-devel package, but I can't find any in my repository, moreover in google I can find only rpm packages... What shell I do?
[05:32] <eod_punk> Red-Sox, If you look in your xorg.conf file you'll see the resolution you want is not listed.  You need to add it in and mayneed to also add the refresh rate as well
[05:32] <Red-Sox> eod_punk: Okay
[05:32] <godfather> MrParanoia
[05:32] <Red-Sox> eod_punk: Where is the xorg.conf file?

[05:33] <godfather> i want to listen and see internet radio and tv

[05:34] <_Roman> I get the following error when running mpalyer: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":0.0".  How can I fix this?  I have installed the xvidmode extention from synaptic.  I am running Ubuntu 6.06 with XGL/Compiz using an Nvidia GF MX400 card using the nvidia driver. Any suggestions?
[05:34] <godfather> but it needs realplayer
[05:34] <MrParanoia> godfather> i don't think there's a gui to set file associations in gnome like there is in kde
[05:34] <tuxar> someone knows about something that works likes MS activex in Linux ?
[05:35] <godfather> please let's try
[05:35] <godfather> http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/internet/wsradio_today.shtml
[05:35] <MrParanoia> godfather> do you have realplayer installed?
[05:35] <godfather> click on listen now
[05:35] <godfather> yes
[05:35] <godfather> but it runs only form console
[05:35] <jjjjjjj> godfather did you install as per real.com instructions?
[05:36] <godfather> nono
[05:36] <jjjjjjj> - Ensure that the .bin file you downloaded is executable. You can make the .bin file executable by running the "chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin" command from a terminal window.
[05:36] <godfather> i've installed it following ubuntu documentation
[05:36] <jjjjjjj>  - Run the .bin file by typing "./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin". Follow the prompts provided to finish installing the player.
[05:36] <godfather> using .deb file
[05:37] <Red-Sox> eod_punk: I can't open that link
[05:37] <godfather> under windows i click on the "listen now" andreal player runs automatically
[05:38] <covOPprometheus> Red-Sox, eod_punk, Sorry, I'm afk for a while, but it's simple, check in the wiki about the 915 or 955 resolution 'hack', get it from the universal packages and afterwards edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, any problem or doubt, keep asking
[05:38] <MrParanoia> godfather> i'll have to d/l and install realplayer
[05:38] <eod_punk> Red-Sox, it was the first link on google for "widescreen resolution"
[05:38] <godfather> ah ok
[05:38] <godfather> it doesn't matter
[05:38] <godfather> tnx
[05:38] <eod_punk> Red-Sox, sorry "widescreen resolutions"
[05:39] <_Roman> How do I enable the XVidMode extention?

[06:23] <Warbo> eod_punk: "gnome-terminal" maybe? That will open a new terminal window, not a tab
[06:23] <eod_punk> k
[06:24] <opexoc> !easysource > opexoc
[06:24] <sethk> eod_punk, several.  you can open a new window, a new tab, etc.
[06:24] <eod_punk> davy_boy98, is your wireless working?
[06:24] <sethk> eod_punk, there are menu commands to do it, and of course you can do it from the command line
[06:24] <godfather> bye
[06:24] <erUSUL> opexoc: use '/msg ubotu easysource'
[06:24] <opexoc> erUSUL: ok... thanks
[06:24] <sethk> eod_punk, there is also a button to click; the default for that button is new tab but can be changed to new window
[06:24] <rcmiv> is there an easy way to share an external usb drive (samba), from winXP, it tells me I have insufficient permissions to view it
[06:25] <sethk> rcmiv, look at the uid= and gid= options to mount, in man mount
[06:25] <eod_punk> thanks sethk
[06:25] <sethk> rcmiv, there is also a howto floating around.
[06:25] <ubuntux1> i wanna prelink only firefox in kubuntu....how do i do this?
[06:26] <rcmiv> sethk, thanks
[06:26] <jjjjjjj> well i "upgraded" ubuntu to edubuntu and now i only got a resolution of 640x480 with no other setting!
[06:27] <jjjjjjj> how can i change the resolution when no other sizes are available?
[06:27] <dj_baggio> what is minimal settings for xubuntu?
[06:27] <Lobster> moin
[06:28] <sethk> jjjjjjj, reconfigure.  run   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:28] <jjjjjjj> you da man sethk
[06:28] <Healot> requirement, you mean, dj_baggio?
[06:28] <dj_baggio> Healot: exactly :)
[06:28] <eli_with_a_name> hey everyone, anyone here know much about vnc connection over internet?
[06:28] <Red-Sox> I'm in the failsafe console and i need to opne a new one
[06:29] <Healot> 128MB of RAM, minimum, pentium cpu or higher is recommended...
[06:29] <ompaul> dj_baggio, for a reasonable setup I had set up a 500Mhz P3 with 128megs of ram and 8meg video card it was a slow launching firefox and ooo but it moved along rather well once they were running
[06:29] <sethk> UbunTUX, if you mean make firefox the default browser app, go to kde control center, file associations
[06:29] <eli_with_a_name> Im trying to connect with someone on vnc and it's not working
[06:29] <dj_baggio> and how much MB in hard disk?
[06:29] <abhinay> how to change the screen resolution of login screen ?
[06:29] <Healot> the xubuntu alternate cd can install with ram lower than 64MB
[06:29] <eli_with_a_name> i have tried to ping the address of the computer i want to hook up with and it's not even responding
[06:29] <Warbo> abhinay: login screen always uses the highest resolution that X has
[06:29] <dj_baggio> 1GB or more?
[06:30] <sethk> eli_with_a_name, if you can't ping, you can't do anything else.  but remember pings are dropped in  many routers, so ping failing may not mean anything at all
[06:30] <ompaul> dj_baggio, to be functional you need about 2.8 gigs minimum but closer 9 makes for a reasonable work horse
[06:30] <Red-Sox> OKAY
[06:30] <Red-Sox> now I need a command to change the res
[06:30] <Healot> dj_baggio: ranging from 300MB for server install, and more for desktop (xfce) install, the more the merrier, dj_baggio
[06:30] <eli_with_a_name> sethk: would that mean that I cannot connect with the computer via vnc then?
[06:30] <Red-Sox> now I have two terms open
[06:31] <dj_baggio> hmm
[06:31] <UbunTUX> sethk: Hello my friend
[06:31] <lost_sou1> wondering, how can I configure eggdrop with ssl support on ubuntu
[06:31] <sethk> eli_with_a_name, no.  pings are blocked for security reasons; it means that the fact that you can't ping doesn't tell us anything much.
[06:31] <dj_baggio> a lot :) - but less near Windows :)
[06:31] <sethk> UbunTUX, hello
[06:31] <UbunTUX> sethk: I'm not speeak english, I'm from Brazil ehhehehehehe
[06:31] <eli_with_a_name> sethk: thanks
[06:31] <clearzen> @eli It depends. I would think your network it not setup properly
[06:31] <sethk> eli_with_a_name, where is the computer to which you are connecting?
[06:31] <eod_punk> xrandr
[06:32] <eli_with_a_name> clearzen: on my end or on the other computer's end?

[06:32] <reitzell> Hello, I'd like to get dual monitors working on my Ubuntu drapper drake box? I have an Nvidia 7900gt
[06:32] <clearzen> can you ping the router?
[06:32] <eli_with_a_name> no, i have not tried that
[06:32] <dj_baggio> ok
[06:32] <eli_with_a_name> let me try
[06:32] <eggman> reitzell:  id be interested in that too
[06:32] <ad> reitzell: I've got dual monitors working beautifully
[06:32] <dj_baggio> thx for infomation :)
[06:32] <clearzen> try it and tell me the result
[06:32] <Red-Sox> can't open display (null)
[06:32] <ad> reitzell: got twin outputs?
[06:33] <lost_sou1> any ideas
[06:33] <eggman> ad: yes he does
[06:33] <reitzell> :)
[06:33] <sethk> reitzell, it's just a matter of setting up your xorg.conf file correctly
[06:34] <reitzell> OK, how do I set it up?
[06:34] <sethk> reitzell, there are howto docs for it.  With nvidia, you also have the option of using their proprietary twinview, but I prefer to use the open source xinerama
[06:34] <eggman> im listening
[06:34] <ad> :) there's an nvidia version of xvidtune
[06:34] <Healot> !display
[06:34] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:34] <lost_sou1> where is openssl located in ubuntu
[06:34] <ad> for twinview - works great for me
[06:34] <eod_punk> Red-Sox, don't think i can help you to much with it, still pretty new
[06:35] <sethk> Red-Sox, check that your DISPLAY environment variable is set.
[06:35] <eod_punk> not sure what options there are for it
[06:35] <eod_punk> i think sethk knowws everything lol (j/k thanks)
[06:35] <sethk> Red-Sox, if it isn't set (which is probably what that message means), set it to :0.0
[06:35] <sethk> Red-Sox, as in   export DISPLAY=:0.0
[06:36] <reitzell> thanks I'll look for a howto
[06:36] <sethk> I have to take a support call, I'll be back as soon as I'm off.

[06:36] <eod_punk> who was that masked man?
[06:36] <Red-Sox> sethk: how?
[06:36] <gil> how do i copy protect a CD that i made in Dapper
[06:36] <Warbo> opexoc: "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[06:36] <Warbo> that's all I can think of
[06:36] <ad> reitzell: i reckon it's easier to use twinview but xinerama is the open source choice
[06:37] <Red-Sox> brb
[06:37] <Warbo> (although "sed" can work wonders for those who know how to use it)
[06:37] <Red-Sox> D'OH
[06:37] <reitzell> I'm up for "easy"-- I'm lazy like that
[06:37] <Red-Sox> ctrl alt backspace won't even work
[06:37] <eod_punk> i had to use ctrl alt shift baskspace
[06:37] <opexoc> Warbo: I want some fast method, automatic method.
[06:37] <ad> reitzell: try running nvidia-xconfig, made me a nice xorg.conf file automatically
[06:37] <idl> Hi, I've just shared a folder via the nautilus context menu.... but wha'ts the username and password for it?
[06:37] <opexoc> How can I fast remove all duplicated repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[06:38] <clearzen> @Red-soX    drop into a command line and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:38] <reitzell> ad: with the dual monitor stuff?

[06:38] <davy_boy98> how can i config WPA WIFI??
[06:38] <eod_punk> brb
[06:38] <ad> anyone any idea why all sound would stop working after using Avidemux?
[06:39] <opexoc> Warbo: who?
[06:39] <sethk> opexoc, sort -u /etc/apt/sources.list > new-sources.list
[06:39] <sethk> opexoc, then, copy the modified file to /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:39] <sethk> opexoc, back up the old one first
[06:39] <ad> ANYone, ANY idea why all sound would stop?
[06:39] <sethk> opexoc, there aren't a lot of lines, you can do the job by hand with an editor in a few minutes, and it is better because sort will reorder the file
[06:40] <clearzen> @ad yeah it could be loading a new sound module over an existing one
[06:40] <clearzen> hard to say though
[06:40] <clearzen> lsmod | grep sound might show you
[06:40] <gil> i want to copy protect a copy i made of a CD
[06:40] <gil> does anyone know how to do that...
[06:40] <sethk> ad, possibly /dev/dsp, with is a symbolic link, is now pointed at the wrong device
[06:41] <sethk> ad, sorry, have to go for a bit
[06:41] <ad> clearzen: lsmod | grep sound gives me - soundcore              10208  1 snd - mean anything to u?
[06:41] <Healot> gil: what type of CD did you master
[06:41] <ad> sethk: no worries, cheers
[06:42] <clearzen> it means you only have 1 sound module loaded
[06:42] <ad> which is ok?
[06:42] <graft> hey y'all - i have thi smachine that sits just outside my firewall (on a switch between a router and my cable modem - is there any way i can get services on it recognized by avahi?

[06:53] <rbowell> Hi, normally when i close gaim or amarok the process still runs in the background and an icon of the application is left at the top righ pannel next to the clock.  Any way i managed to delete them and i want them back . Does anyone here know how ?
[06:53] <brian98> ?
[06:54] <_lupine>  ndiswrapper - version from Ubuntu CD: 1.8-0ubuntu2. From sourceforge: 1.23
[06:54] <Anderson> Does the install cd come with the kernel source?
[06:54] <MinisterPolite> rbowell: you weren't closing either, rather minimizing them to the tray.. when you say you've manged to delete them, how did you go about doing this? did you simply remove the tray?
[06:54] <Healot> Anderson: no
[06:55] <gonniff> well, I hate to say it, but I've decided to opt for VNC for my remote desktop to Ubuntu
[06:55] <Jack_Sparrow> !kernel
[06:55] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild

[06:58] <Jack_Sparrow> NOt unusual.. just put windows as first os on the first drive, windows is happier there
[06:59] <sethk> jmichaelx, not unusual at all.  answer is yes, but it isn't difficult to do.

[07:00] <Jack_Sparrow> jmichaelx: THe super grub reapir works easier when adding a second drive. etc..
[07:00] <Jack_Sparrow> jmichaelx: You can always use windows to come back and ask questions
[07:00] <jmichaelx> Jack_Sparrow: i can see how that would probably be the case. i will probably give that a try
[07:01] <Jack_Sparrow> jmichaelx: It is a bootable cd that checks all drives and combinations of os's and trys to set them up for you
[07:01] <jmichaelx> Jack_Sparrow: i think that is exactly what i need
[07:02] <Jack_Sparrow> jmichaelx: Kinda thought so..

[07:03] <elhaxxorz> Hey guys... I'm on the liveCD for dapper cause I borked my kernel. Can someone help?
[07:04] <lupine_85> how did you break it? ;)
[07:05] <foo> foo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL ... why doesn't this visudo entry work? It still prompts me for my password.
[07:05] <Jack_Sparrow> People, I would like to stress the importance of a backup.  It just takes a minute to type one line in a terminal.  It can save you hours or work and frustration.
[07:05] <elhaxxorz> lupine_85: i ran out of space on /boot by downloading the k7 kernel image
[07:05] <lupine_85> so /boot is a separate partition?
[07:05] <elhaxxorz> yes
[07:06] <ephemeros> http://asher256-repository.tuxfamily.org/index.php?page=packages&lang=en - found a cool repo
[07:06] <Fleebailey33> does anyone know why i can't add mp3's to my ipod with gtkpod. am i missing a library?
[07:06] <lupine_85> ok, so can you mount your HD filesystem as it would normally be?
[07:06] <Glombool> Anyone have any luck installing EGroupware from the repository?  I tried installing it and I have no idea where it went.
[07:07] <lupine_85> (e.g. /media/root/boot would be your /dev/hda1, or whatever)
[07:07] <Glombool> >>Fleebailey33  try amarok :)
[07:07] <lupine_85> if you can get it all mounted somewhere, you can chroot into it and apt-get remove the k7 kernel image
[07:07] <lupine_85> another alternative is resizing the /boot partition, but that's likely to be more hassle
[07:08] <osdai> #join ubuntu-es
[07:08] <pianoboy3333> Does anyone here use the fish shell?

[07:18] <lupine_85> mount any other partitions in the 'correct' place as well
[07:18] <lupine_85> then chroot into it

[07:25] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[07:25] <lupine_85> elhaxxorz: you'll probably have to sudo that as well.
[07:25] <dterrell> foo: in ubuntu go to System->Preferences->Screen Resolution and see if you can change the refresh there to something like 75hz
[07:25] <FRET> good evening
[07:26] <lupine_85> then you can use your native apt-get to remove some old kernels, or the new kernel, to get it working again

[07:33] <no_dog> I have a problem with my external harddrive. Whenever I try to rsync data to it, rsync will fail in the middle of transfer, and then the drive locks up as read only. I can't unmount it, either, because it says that the device is busy. Here is a pastebin of the problem: http://pastebin.com/783541 . Any suggestions?
[07:33] <namename> i dont understand what you are trying to tell me

[07:34] <namename> now what
[07:34] <foo> dterrell: 75Hz iw the only thing there
[07:34] <R0bin> MinisterPolite: lol

[07:34] <MinisterPolite> namename: first, stop using the enter key as punctuation, its annoying. second; installing Java is simple, there are even script that do it for you (Automatix/EasyUbuntu).

[07:34] <R0bin> I can just read files
[07:34] <dterrell> foo, you might try a lower resolution and higher refresh rate...that is _if_ the refresh is the problem, if it's already at 75hz then the flicker may be coming from another source
[07:35] <fabiomazzarino> I've already verified processes with ps, and xgl is runing, but there is no compiz.
[07:35] <MinisterPolite> fabiomazzarino: #xgl

[07:37] <fabiomazzarino> eggman, I'm trying to solve today. I didn't tryied at the weekend.
[07:37] <namename> ministerpolie: im at synaptic package manager what file am i looking for
[07:37] <MinisterPolite> RObin, if someone was here who could help you they would have the first time you asked. repeating is rude and unnecessary.
[07:37] <lupine_85> right, so in your chroot apt-get remove --purge your -386 kernel
[07:37] <eggman> ok
[07:37] <dterrell> is there a 'holding hands' entry in ubotu, heh
[07:37] <R0bin> Taxman2: If Ubuntu can't write floppys, then what the ****?
[07:37] <eggman> i had the no borders problem too
[07:37] <MinisterPolite> namename: not gonna find it there, like i said. try using easyubuntu
[07:37] <lupine_85> R0bin@ sudo dd if=image of=/dev/floppy
[07:37] <Taxman2> R0bin: of course it can, just haven't seen what I'm doing wrong. What error do you get
[07:38] <namename> oooooooo im gonna use that right now how do u want me to use it when i dont have it? now ur gonna tell me a site or something?
[07:38] <R0bin> Taxman2: I use a memorycard and I can read all files on it
[07:38] <lupine_85> elhaxxorz: then apt-get install desired-kernel
[07:38] <foo> dterrell: ok, I'll try at a lower resolutio.
[07:38] <eggman> fabiomazzarino: does your compiz work?
[07:38] <R0bin> Taxman2: no error, just that delete/paste option is blocked

[07:40] <lupine_85> it might be -23-386
[07:40] <Taxman2> R0bin: then what does it tell you when it doesn't work?
[07:40] <namename> Where do i copy and paste the code to run EasyUbuntu
[07:40] <R0bin> Taxman2: Dunno, I don't console
[07:41] <lupine_85> "do you do console...?" ;)
[07:41] <Taxman2> R0bin: are you telling me you try to delete a file and there is absolutely no message given to you?
[07:41] <brian98> does the junk filter work in evolution or am I missing something ?
[07:41] <MinisterPolite> namename: you can't be serious... it says it right there on the site... the terminal.

[07:49] <ZP54> damn..
[07:49] <Mprice1> For someone that is very new to Linux is Ubuntu the best distro to start with?
[07:50] <MinisterPolite> Mprice1: usually
[07:50] <ZP54> i tried to install it but its full of errors
[07:50] <lupine_85> elhaxxorz: try this modification - http://pastebin.ca/160746
[07:50] <pablo89> Are u usin' another operating system???
[07:50] <namename> It says.. lots of stuff, at the end it says No such file or directory: './packagelist-hoary.xml"
[07:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !BEST
[07:50] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[07:50] <ZP54> nope
[07:50] <lupine_85> it "should" work
[07:50] <shastry> is there away i can blacklist a particular kernel module at boot time ?

[07:51] <namename> thats what is says
[07:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Mprice1: There is no best, but this is a good place to start..  Kubuntu may be easier for people trying to make the transition from XP but either way isnt hard.  The key is to see which supports your current hardware the best
[07:51] <no_dog> I have a problem with my external harddrive. Whenever I try to rsync data to it, rsync will fail in the middle of transfer, and then the drive locks up as read only.

[07:53] <pablo89> Has this chat a private room???
[07:53] <tgelter> hey guys, I don't want you to walk me through this, but I was wondering if anyone has found an article or has a sample xorg.conf that I could look over to get XGL/compiz working with twinview...?

[07:58] <jjjjjjj> why did i have to start the download to upgrade to 6.06?  could i not have used a 6.06 cd?
[07:58] <don_jr> I get an error with mplayer telling me 'there are too many packets in the video buffer"  how can I remedy this?
[07:58] <ZP54> ok!
[07:58] <MinisterPolite> namename: what is the terminal doing? is it downloading or is the pasted text just sitting there?
[07:58] <namename> It wass Resolving and then connecting then it was waiting for response and it looked like something was either loading or downloading  and it finished and now it says wget http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/files/easyubuntu-3.022.tar.gz

[07:59] <jjjjjjj> yes flannel *with a twist*
[07:59] <MinisterPolite> namename: stop pasting in the channel like that.. last warning
[07:59] <Jack_Sparrow> jjjjjjj: Fresh install of 6.06 is a better choice
[07:59] <MinisterPolite> namename: press enter in teh terminal
[07:59] <lupine_85> Jack_Sparrow: really?
[07:59] <namename> I did and nothing happened.
[07:59] <jjjjjjj> i installed 5.10, updated it, then upgraded to edubuntu
[07:59] <Flannel> jjjjjjj: a twist?  You can download the 6.06 alternate ISO and upgrade, but... your download will be about the same size, and more updated with the inplace one
[07:59] <lupine_85> IMO, the upgrade capability is one of the better aspects of Ubuntu :)
[08:00] <MinisterPolite> is terinal asking you for a password?
[08:00] <namename> ill do it again incase i messed it up hold on
[08:00] <jjjjjjj> so in theory i am running edubuntu that was *sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop*
[08:00] <MinisterPolite> namename:  once you paste into the terminal, it should download something then prompt you for your password
[08:00] <namename> ok
[08:01] <namename> It dosent prompt me for my password I think.
[08:01] <MinisterPolite> are you running terminal or root terminal?
[08:01] <Flannel> jjjjjjj: right, of coruse, you're also still running ubuntu, unless you removed it.  but, that shouldn't make a difference upgrading
[08:01] <namename> Applications>System Tools>Terminal
[08:01] <jonh_wendell> Hi! is it possible to run a X session (with another user) inside my session? Like a window?
[08:01] <namename> I am using Terminal not Root Terminal
[08:01] <jjjjjjj> i can remove ubuntu from edubuntu?
[08:02] <falcon3> hi, i have mouse lag on my kubuntu installation on my laptop, it's an usb mouse
[08:02] <MinisterPolite> namename:  paste the contents of that first orange box and it should download then prompt you for a password
[08:02] <falcon3> anyone knows about this problem and has a solution to it ?
[08:02] <MinisterPolite> if it does nothing then press enter after pasting
[08:02] <namename> On root or on normal Terminal
[08:02] <MinisterPolite> namename: normal terminal
[08:02] <namename> I did paste it
[08:03] <Jack_Sparrow> lupine_85: I feel a fresh install is better because there are so many possible changes and variations of what you can do to Ubuntu that the upgrade cannot account for them all.
[08:03] <MinisterPolite> namename: and what happened>
[08:03] <Jack_Sparrow> lupine_85: sorry for the lag..
[08:03] <MinisterPolite> namename: don't paste a copy of your terminal
[08:03] <Flannel> Jack_Sparrow: an upgrade DOES account for them all, thats the point of package management
[08:03] <namename> :P
[08:03] <jonh_wendell> Hi! is it possible to run a X session (with another user) inside my session? Like a window?
[08:03] <namename> It showed me a loading proccess or downloading
[08:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Flannel: We see people here every day that have problems after that upgrade...
[08:04] <lupine_85> I guess it depends on what sort of non-standard things you've been up to :)
[08:04] <lupine_85> but if the upgrade fails, surely you can just go for the fresh install...
[08:04] <MinisterPolite> namename: now it should be asking you about your password...
[08:05] <athlon> test
[08:05] <spuddogg_> anyone here have wine working on dapper 64-bit?
[08:05] <namename> Is it because Im on a live cd?
[08:05] <Jack_Sparrow> lupine_85: Agreed.. as long as you have a copy of 6.06 just in case you cant get back online
[08:05] <ZP54> PEARL JAM    kick asses
[08:05] <MinisterPolite> namename: seriously....
[08:06] <athlon> anyone here ?
[08:06] <spuddogg_> anyone here have wine working on dapper 64-bit?
[08:06] <ubuntu> lupine_85: it did not save. . .:(
[08:06] <jjjjjjj> well i'll continue the online upgrade and if it croaks or wreaks havoc I'll report back and go for the fresh install.
[08:06] <MinisterPolite> namename: you're trying to _insall_ software on a live cd
[08:06] <godfather> anyone who can help me to install limewire
[08:06] <godfather> i'm downloading the rpm file
[08:06] <_DvP_> Hi ! (I'm french, sorry for my bad english)
[08:07] <tgelter> godfather: have you looked at ubuntuguide.org?
[08:07] <MinisterPolite> !alien > godfather
[08:07] <jjjjjjj> it's a fresh install anyway.  old celeron 800 for someone's kid. (hence the edubuntu flavor).
[08:07] <Jack_Sparrow> godfather: Have you tried frostwire..
[08:07] <lupine_85> godfather: man alien, at your own risk :)
[08:07] <_DvP_> Do you know if this http://www.lulu.com/content/324305 is the adaptation of the Ubuntu's Wik ?
[08:07] <godfather> but  i need j2se library but the link on doc is broken
[08:07] <_DvP_> Wiki
[08:07] <tgelter> godfather: it gives awesome instructions for all that type of thing, and I agree, frostwire is awesome
[08:07] <godfather> alien isn't the problem
[08:07] <godfather> the problem is the library
[08:08] <namename> yes
[08:08] <godfather> can i install frostwire by synaptic
[08:08] <godfather> ?
[08:08] <namename> okay I want to play this game: www.runescape.com and it asks for java plugin..
[08:08] <falcon3> is anyone experiencing extreme mouse lag on a kubuntu laptop?
[08:08] <MinisterPolite> namename: does that make logical sense that it would be possible?
[08:08] <enyc> !java
[08:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !frostwire
[08:09] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[08:09] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[08:09] <godfather> let me take a look
[08:09] <falcon3> the touchpad seems to be working fine, but not the usb mouse
[08:09] <namename> So i can't play that game on a live cd?
[08:09] <MinisterPolite> namename: then install an operating system, or use a livecd that already has it installed
[08:09] <enyc> namename: you will need to enabllethe multiverse repository if not already done....
[08:09] <enyc> namename: sun-java5-jre
[08:09] <namename> How do i get that
[08:10] <Demp1> I'm trying to get an HP DeskJet 3550 to work with ubuntu, printer is detected and added nicely but CUPS gives this error message: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed", can't seem to find much on it in neither google or the forums, anybody got an idea?
[08:10] <Ayabara> anyone here using amarok with aac files?
[08:10] <namename> Im using a live cd because while I was installing Ubuntu it messed up and I couldn't go in Windows :\
[08:10] <jjjjjjj> having a big internet pipe don't mean squat.  it all depends on how big the pipe is where you are downloading from.
[08:10] <jamieoliver22> hi
[08:10] <MinisterPolite> namename: sounds like you have some issues to address before you go playing a game...
[08:10] <ubuntu> lupine_85: boot seems to be empty now, that has to be wrong, cause /boot is 100% full
[08:10] <philip> are there any distros that use xfree86 instad of Xorg anymore? Just curious
[08:11] <Taxman2> is there a way to get my wireless to keep trying to get an IP add if it doesn't get one right away on boot? It seems like it only tries once
[08:11] <namename> Is there any way I can play that game or Ubuntu Live Cd?
[08:11] <eggman> spuddogg: still got the wine + 64bit dapper problem?
[08:11] <ubuntu> philip: Debian Sarge did last time i used it
[08:11] <MinisterPolite> Demp1: I have that exact printer. works perfectly. Sorry.
[08:11] <enyc> philip: only older distro version..... the latest "stable" debian is  xfree86 .....
[08:11] <lupine_85> ubuntu: is it still mounted?
[08:11] <j`ey> im installing ubuntu, can someone give me help with the partioiong?
[08:11] <ubuntu> i rebooted, i think so
[08:11] <enyc> philip: note that X.org is forked from xfree86 -- essentially it *is* xfree86
[08:11] <recon0> For some reason, the CUPS web interface seems to be broken. It won't accept any username/password I give it.
[08:11] <godfather> i've just seen frostwire screenshots
[08:12] <Demp1> MinisterPolite: do you use the hp:/usb.... uri for it?
[08:12] <recon0> Is anybody else having the above problem?
[08:12] <godfather> it is very very similar to winmx music
[08:12] <MinisterPolite> Demp1:  honstly, i just connected the thing via usb, clicked add printer, and printed out a test page
[08:12] <enyc> recon0: iirc ubuntu  does net setup for use fof the web interfaceee...  use system>administration>printing   ??
[08:12] <Demp1> ok, thanks anyway
[08:13] <jamieoliver22> can anyone help me please? i have just installed ubuntu to my 5gb memory stick (which acts like a hard drive). when i put it in on boot, it wont boot from my memory stick (even though it is my first boot device in the BIOS settings). can anyone give me any advise please?
[08:13] <no_dog> I have a problem with my external harddrive. Whenever I try to rsync data to it, rsync will fail in the middle of transfer, and then the drive locks up as read only. I can't unmount it, either, because it says that the device is busy. Here is a pastebin of the problem: http://pastebin.com/783541 . Any suggestions?
[08:14] <ubuntu> lupine_85: my bad, not mounted...why is it 100% full though with one kernel in there?
[08:14] <Warbo> jamieoliver22: First make sure GRUB is installed on it (type !grub in here to see how) then I would check GRUB's device.map file, since that should tell it where the USB drive is
[08:14] <enyc> no_dog: the kernel normally mounts devices readonly if it sees filesystem errors
[08:14] <philip> I thought most distros are moving away from xfree86 towards X.org due to a myriad of issues, ie xfree86 is dying a slow death?
[08:14] <jamieoliver22> thanks
[08:14] <jamieoliver22> !grub
[08:14] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:15] <Warbo> XFree86 is still monolithic I think, and they changed their license slightly which worried people
[08:15] <no_dog> enyc: Interesting. Why might I be getting filesystem errors? I reformatted the drive as ext3 yesterday. It's a new drive, might there be some physical problems?
[08:15] <falcon3> i would really like some help, my mouse isn't working correctly on a kubuntu laptop
[08:15] <enyc> no_dog: right... 2 things
[08:16] <enyc> no_dog: joey@ubuntu:/media/250gb$
[08:16] <fender_freek> falcon3: what's the problem?
[08:16] <enyc> no_dog: you are cd'ed into that directory
[08:16] <no_dog> enyc: ...d'oh
[08:16] <enyc> no_dog: unlike DOS / windoze... hawing a shell cd'ed to that directory... is holding it 'open' (busy)
[08:16] <falcon3> fender_freek: my mouse is going laggy on my kubuntu laptop, this is a problem i had when breezy was just out too
[08:16] <falcon3> fender_freek: and it is still a problem on dapper
[08:16] <balrok> where can i find libdvdcss? i have the sources.list from automatix (with the repos from czechi)  but i cant found libdvdcss
[08:17] <elhaxxorz> lupine_85: can you link me to the pastebin with the modded menu.lst?
[08:17] <fender_freek> falcon3: from the start, or over time?
[08:17] <enyc> no_dog: socondly... look at your 'dmesg' output
[08:17] <falcon3> fender_freek: from the start
[08:17] <enyc> no_dog: poste that to postebin
[08:17] <absolut>  /msg ubotu audigy
[08:17] <falcon3> fender_freek: my touchpad works fluidly though, but the external usb mouse lags
[08:17] <enyc> no_dog: err... paste that in pastebin even
[08:17] <fender_freek> falcon3: check your /etc/X/xorg.conf for mouse settings
[08:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !libdvdcss
[08:17] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[08:17] <Taxman2> can anyone point me to the docs on retrying to grab an address by dhcp if it doesn't get picked up on boot?
[08:17] <falcon3> fender_freek: what should i check ?
[08:18] <fender_freek> falcon3: you can modify the sensitivity and accel settings, among other thing depending on the driver
[08:18] <j`ey_> can someone look at http://pastie.caboo.se/11671
[08:18] <fender_freek> falcon3: i had to do that to get my touchpad to work properly. it would barely move with a full stroke
[08:18] <j`ey_> and tell me how I should partiion my drives?
[08:18] <aalex> hi all
[08:18] <looktj> windows is being dumb in vmware
[08:19] <looktj> it won't acivate
[08:19] <fender_freek> falcon3: hang on a sec, i'll pull mine up and tell you exactly what to look for
[08:19] <enyc> ??acivate??
[08:19] <aalex> I dont understanf the partition GUI when installing ubuntu.... where is fdisk ?! ;-) No, really, where is the online doc about this ?
[08:19] <looktj> yea
[08:19] <falcon3> fender_freek: i am really appreciating your help
[08:19] <enyc> looktj: what do you mean 'acivate'?
[08:19] <looktj> activate?
[08:19] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: Just let the installer use all unallocated space.. no need to di it manually
[08:19] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: it doesnt work, if I do that
[08:19] <enyc> looktj: what is not activating in your windovs? waht do you mean?
[08:20] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: What error do you get?
[08:20] <sysdoc> aalex, I got a link for ya give me a sec
[08:20] <enyc> no_dog: ?? whats happening?
[08:20] <earthian> hello
[08:20] <j`ey_> failed to partiotion the select disk
[08:20] <looktj> i enter product key that is attached to my laptop
[08:20] <fender_freek> falcon3: my b on the path - /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:20] <earthian> i want to change my distro architecture from linux-amd64-k8 to linux-i686 (32bit)
[08:20] <earthian> how do i do that???
[08:20] <looktj> but it says invalid
[08:21] <falcon3> fender_freek: your "b" ?
[08:21] <earthian> so in genereal i want to switch to 32bit mode from 64bit current one
[08:21] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: Sorry my bad... You dont have enough unallocated space, I thought that was gigs not megs
[08:21] <enyc> earthian: you need to reinstall in short
[08:21] <no_dog> enyc: sorry, pastebin was taking awhile. Here's the dmesg output, first without the drive mounted, then with it mounted: http://pastebin.com/783578
[08:22] <sysdoc> aalex, Here is a write up on installing Ubuntu, should answer your questions about partitioning. http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/903/
[08:22] <earthian> enyc: i have installed the current one on a sata raid
[08:22] <earthian> :S
[08:22] <aalex> sysdoc, thansk !
[08:22] <earthian> and how can i reinstall it?
[08:22] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: I need unallcoate some, how?
[08:22] <sysdoc> aalex, u bet
[08:22] <Jack_Sparrow> shrink one of the other partitions
[08:22] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: I can do it before the installer
[08:22] <fender_freek> falcon3: haha...my bad
[08:22] <IceTox> is it possible to change hostname without having to reboot ubuntu?
[08:22] <falcon3> my xorg.conf is open
[08:22] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: how?
[08:22] <jamieoliver22> can you install the "grub boot floppy" onto the same memory stick that ubuntu is installed on?
[08:22] <lupine_85>  elhaxxxorz: http://pastebin.ca/160746
[08:22] <enyc> no_dog: ext3_clear_journal_err: Filesystem error recorded from previous mount:
[08:23] <enyc> no_dog:  IO failure
[08:23] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: You can do it from windows or from the installer..
[08:23] <enyc> no_dog: erm...erm ... you see higher up? more info?
[08:23] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: thats why Im trying to do it manually!
[08:23] <enyc> no_dog: like erros from whon it was mounted previously?
[08:23] <looktj> is partitioning on a 40 GB hd bad?
[08:23] <earthian> !linux i386
[08:23] <ubotu> linux: Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component restricted, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS> (dapper), package size 22 kB, installed size 52 kB
[08:23] <no_dog> enyc: Do I see higher up?
[08:23] <fender_freek> falcon3: kinda a given, but have you changed any settings from the gnome-mouse-properties?
[08:23] <balrok> i need a clear answer how to install libdvdcss (or any other libs to crack css) this is already configured "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages"
[08:24] <enyc> looktj: you need to create osme partition(s) to use the system
[08:24] <balrok> but i don't find the libdvdcss
[08:24] <fender_freek> falcon3: i should have asked that before we jump to extereme measures...
[08:24] <enyc> no_dog: likee ... tho whole 'dmesg' output rather than the last fef lines
[08:24] <falcon3> fender_freek: no, i'm using kubuntu btw, but that's the same i guess :)
[08:24] <looktj> ubotu, linux i386
[08:24] <ubotu> linux: Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component restricted, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS> (dapper), package size 22 kB, installed size 52 kB
[08:24] <looktj> hmm
[08:24] <jamieoliver22> is it possible to install the "grub boot floppy" onto the same memory stick that ubuntu is installed on?
[08:24] <enyc> no_dog: try 'dmesg > no_nog_dmesg.txt' to create a txt file...
[08:24] <fender_freek> falcon3: k. try system>preferences>mouse
[08:24] <earthian> !linux i686
[08:24] <aalex> sysdoc ; What if I dont want that graphical installer ? I will reboot using option 2 i guess
[08:24] <no_dog> enyc: That's all the output that 'dmesg | grep sdb' gives. Just 'demsg' by itself gives so much output that it scrolls past my buffer. Do you want all of it?
[08:24] <godfather> tgelter
[08:25] <fender_freek> falcon3: it actually would be a different util in KDE
[08:25] <falcon3> fender_freek: i'm in kde's mouse controll center
[08:25] <fender_freek> alright
[08:25] <no_dog> enyc: k
[08:25] <mathieu_> can anyone recommend a good calendar software ?
[08:25] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: You are not using much of your ntfs so I would shrink that
[08:25] <looktj> ubotu, linux i686

[08:25] <Warbo> jamieoliver22: GRUB is used to boot Ubuntu. If you put it onto a floppy then it is a boot floppy, if you put it in the same place as Ubuntu then it is just part of Ubuntu
[08:25] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: I dont know hwo!
[08:25] <sysdoc> aalex, check out the screen shots...
[08:25] <fender_freek> falcon3: anything like sensetivity adjustment or accel adjust?
[08:25] <falcon3> fender_freek: yes there is
[08:26] <balrok> i need a clear answer how to install libdvdcss (or any other libs to crack css) this is already configured "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages"
[08:26] <balrok> i need a clear answer how to install libdvdcss (or any other libs to crack css) this is already configured "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages"
[08:26] <balrok> but i don't find the libdvdcss
[08:26] <falcon3> fender_freek: accell on 160ms, accell profile on 0, etc etc
[08:26] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: It has been awhile since I installed but I thought the installer asked if you wanted to shrink the existing install of windows
[08:26] <looktj> brb
[08:26] <fender_freek> falcon3: I've never used Kubuntu, so I'm doing what i can. you want to try increasing the sensitivity if possible
[08:26] <jamieoliver22> Warbo: so does that mean i can then? i am fairly new to this you see :p
[08:26] <no_dog> enyc; Pastebin is churning. It will be up in a sec.
[08:26] <enyc> no_dog: no_dog ;-)
[08:26] <StoneNote> balrok, try http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_DVD_playback_capability
[08:27] <Naik0> which pakage should i get if i want to run asp on my apache
[08:27] <fender_freek> falcon3: accel is more of a personal preference thing than performance. sensitivity could be the prob tho
[08:27] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: it hasnt
[08:27] <godfather> i've just installed frostwire ,a limewire clone
[08:27] <Warbo> jamieoliver22: Making a "boot floppy" on a USB stick just means putting GRUb onto the USB stick. If you want then you can make a seperate partition for /boot, but I don't see how that would do any good unless it is on another device
[08:27] <falcon3> fender_freek: i'm guessing "pointer accelleration" ?
[08:27] <godfather> but where can i find the java lib
[08:27] <godfather> ?
[08:27] <fender_freek> falcon3: no, that's different...any other options?
[08:27] <JoseStefan> !tell godfather about java
[08:28] <falcon3> fender_freek: pointer threshold, drag start time, start distance, mouse wheel scroll
[08:28] <enyc> no_dog: I wonder why pastebin is so slow today
[08:28] <fender_freek> falcon3: hang on...lemme look up that pointer threshold option
[08:28] <falcon3> but my touchpad mouse is working really great, only problem is my external mouse on usb
[08:28] <jamieoliver22> Warbo: well my original problem was: i have just installed ubuntu to my 5gb memory stick (which acts like a hard drive). when i put it in on boot, it wont boot from my memory stick (even though it is my first boot device in the BIOS settings). can anyone give me any advise please?
[08:28] <falcon3> fender_freek: but my touchpad mouse is working really great, only problem is my external mouse on usb
[08:28] <godfather> tnx
[08:29] <no_dog> enyc: Beats me ;). Here's the full output from 'dmesg': http://pastebin.com/783582
[08:29] <fender_freek> falcon3: ah...
[08:29] <fender_freek> falcon3: that would make a difference in how we do this...
[08:29] <earthian> how to get a version of my current X org system?
[08:29] <falcon3> fender_freek: mentioned it before, but you probably didn't notice, it's okay
[08:29] <enyc> no_dog: loading......
[08:29] <earthian> x11r

[08:30] <aalex> Where is the advanced installer for Ubuntu Dapper ?
[08:31] <JoseStefan> Jamminpotato, you have to add it using add/remove, it will add another repos for it
[08:31] <earthian> how do i get a version of my X11R ?
[08:31] <falcon3> fender_freek: did not help
[08:31] <earthian> i mean the XServer
[08:31] <earthian> ??
[08:31] <earthian> erm
[08:31] <Jamminpotato> oh
[08:31] <jamieoliver22> Warbo: well my original problem was: i have just installed ubuntu to my 5gb memory stick (which acts like a hard drive). when i put it in on boot, it wont boot from my memory stick (even though it is my first boot device in the BIOS settings). can anyone give me any advise please?

[08:31] <enyc> no_dog: hhrrm... weird pile of io errors with no details
[08:31] <lupine_85> jamieoliver22: has the addressing for the USB stick changed?
[08:31] <enyc> no_dog: it could be a problem with allsorts ;-)
[08:31] <JoseStefan> Jamminpotato, i suggest 9.01 from opera.com
[08:31] <Jamminpotato> what about automatix?
[08:32] <fender_freek> falcon3: k. that might have messed with your touchpad setting tho. you prob. wanna put it back
[08:32] <enyc> no_dog: problem with the driver or contrellor etc. for the  usb or ieee1394  interface
[08:32] <falcon3> fender_freek: protocol is set to ExplorerPS/2 though
[08:32] <no_dog> enyc: Yeah... I'm not even sure what sda is :(
[08:32] <jamieoliver22> lupine_85: what do you mean exactly? not that i know of..
[08:32] <falcon3> fender_freek: already done that
[08:32] <no_dog> enyc: Oh... how can I try to resolve that?
[08:32] <enyc> no_dog: it could be trouble with the drive (bad sectors)
[08:32] <enyc> no_dog: ?are you able to erase/remove everything from the drive ?
[08:32] <fender_freek> falcon3: good. what other options are available for the "profile"?
[08:32] <twosharp> how do i change keyboard layout in shell?
[08:32] <enyc> twosharp: you need  leadkeys iirc
[08:33] <falcon3> not much
[08:33] <enyc> twosharp: err... loadkeys
[08:33] <no_dog> enyc: My external drive is sdb, though. All those errors are for sda.
[08:33] <falcon3> fender_freek: not much all of them pretty useleses
[08:33] <enyc> no_dog: thefy  were for both
[08:33] <jamieoliver22> lupine_85: what do you mean exactly? not that i know of..
[08:33] <enyc> no_dog:  its as if you unplugged and replugged it
[08:33] <lupine_85> jamieoliver22:  e.g. maybe when you installed your system, it was being /dev/sdc (or whatever)... and now it's being seen as /dev/sda
[08:33] <enyc> no_dog: and it called the new device instance sdb
[08:33] <Jamminpotato> is beagle relient on gnome?
[08:34] <enyc> no_dog: SCSI and SATA and usb/ieee1394 drives all get called 'sd?' iirc
[08:34] <Jamminpotato> or can it be used with xfce
[08:34] <jamieoliver22> i *think* it was being sdc when it was being installed. what shall i do then now?
[08:34] <no_dog> enyc: Hrm. Ok. My external drive has always showed up as 'sdb,' though, for what it's worth
[08:34] <fender_freek> falcon3: well, back to the xorg.conf... go to console and vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:34] <earthian> what is the difference between XFree86 and Xorg Xserver ???
[08:34] <falcon3> fender_freek: already there
[08:34] <earthian> or is it the same?
[08:34] <earthian> :o
[08:34] <lupine_85> jamieoliver22: well first you need to see if that is actually the problem. Do you have any error messages?
[08:35] <no_dog> enyc: And, I can write to / remove from the drive. It just seems to lock up and go into read-only mode when I rsync a bunch of data.

[08:35] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: im rebooting in windows

[08:35] <enyc> no_dog: well a filesystem error in ogguring
[08:35] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: I am bring
[08:35] <mortenskyt_> hey, anybody here into audio-problems - the quality is quite low in some kind of audio-formats and perfect in others
[08:35] <godfather> i have some problem with java
[08:35] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: i am bring
[08:35] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: ing up the ubinstall on another pc now
[08:35] <j`ey_> ?
[08:35] <fender_freek> falcon3: ok. do you have option CorePointer ?
[08:35] <j`ey_> ok
[08:35] <no_dog> enyc: What do you recommend? I try to get my money back from newegg?
[08:36] <godfather> JoseStefan
[08:36] <falcon3> fender_freek: i do
[08:36] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: I just could not do it from memory
[08:36] <enyc> no_dog: EXT3-fs error (device sdb1): ext3_new_block:  Allocating block in system zone - block = 50888711
[08:36] <Jamminpotato> is beagle relient on gnome? or can it be usedwith xfce as well
[08:36] <no_dog> enyc: Or do you think it might be a problem with my configuration?
[08:36] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: it didnt show a shrinker on mine
[08:36] <enyc> no_dog: erm.. could be allsorts
[08:36] <jamieoliver22> lupine_85: yes and no. i make it my first boot device, it bypass's it and boots my hard drive (windows). If i disable all other boot devices and only have the memory stick as on, i get an error saying it cant find a boot device.
[08:36] <enyc> no_dog: ?are you able to erase/remove everything from the drive ?
 i mean in xserver-xorg, cause it works in shell, but as soon as the xserver is loaded i cant make the local characters work, nether the alt gr, delete and backspace are both backspace..
[08:36] <twosharp> any idea?
[08:36] <fender_freek> falcon3: alright. option Resolution ?
[08:36] <jgerber> why does adding new sessions through system->sessions not affect the sessions list in gdm?
[08:36] <no_dog> enyc: And, I can write to / remove from the drive. It just seems to lock up and go into read-only mode when I rsync a bunch of data.
[08:36] <JoseStefan> godfather
[08:36] <lupine_85> jamieoliver22: then you don't have a bootloader installed onto it
[08:36] <godfather> i can't install the right java lib
[08:36] <falcon3> fender_freek: don't have that one
[08:36] <spuddogg_> does anyone here know how to share folders on a windows network, with ubuntu?
[08:37] <no_dog> enyc: "everything?"
[08:37] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: You do it from the partitioner
[08:37] <enyc> no_dog: I got that message....
[08:37] <lupine_85> so... sudo grub-install /dev/sdc should fix your problem
[08:37] <falcon3> fender_freek: could we take this to a private place? i'm getting confused by all the others speaking :)
[08:37] <enyc> no_dog: i mean like all your data // be ok to repartition it?
[08:37] <JoseStefan> godfather, did you check the links ubotu sent you?

[08:37] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: k
[08:37] <godfather> the instructions speak about using add/remove application+
[08:37] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: will you help me through?
[08:37] <godfather> but it can't find that lib
[08:37] <no_dog> enyc: Oh, I get you. I have no issues about reformatting it.
[08:37] <mortenskyt_> spuddog_: that's how you make windows-compatible shares in linux
[08:37] <enyc> no_dog: ok
[08:37] <godfather> yes i'm followind the link you gave to me
[08:38] <fender_freek> falcon3: then you may need to set that. I've never actually used it, but if you'll look up some info on that, it may help you. It changes the counts per inch of the mouse
[08:38] <Jamminpotato> is beagle relient on gnome? or can it be usedwith xfce as well

[08:38] <jamieoliver22> ok, thanks mate
[08:38] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: Yes,.. you dont happen to have partition magic on your XP install do you?
[08:38] <falcon3> fender_freek: okay, i'm gonna look it up now

[08:39] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: yep
[08:39] <godfather> JoseStefan
[08:39] <fender_freek> falcon3: n/p. best of luck to you. I'd check the ubuntu forums too, if you haven't already. lots of good stuff there.
[08:39] <jgerber> multiverse enabled
[08:39] <JoseStefan> godfather, you need to add multiverse to your repos
[08:39] <j`ey_> Jack_Sparrow: i just restarted so in a few mins
[08:39] <godfather> maybe i'm resolving the problem
[08:39] <enyc> no_dog: dod you use mk31fs  to put an ext3  fsoon it ? or something?
[08:40] <enyc> no_dog: I didnt catch what command you ran
[08:40] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: when you get ther click on install and we will go from there.
[08:40] <no_dog> enyc: I followed a guide, as it was my first time doing this in Linux. Don't remember the exact commands the I used, but I can find out. One moment.
[08:40] <Otacon22> hi all, i need to see the input from a video input card with mplayer , how i can do it?
[08:40] <j0lliyo> i have a probem... my wireless works when i boot, and for like 30 secs after i boot... then it just stops working... anybody else have this problem?
[08:41] <reitzell> I just installed a wintv card. What software do I load to use it?
[08:41] <no_dog> enyc: After setting up the partitions, I issued the command: "mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1"
[08:41] <enyc> no_dog: right....
[08:41] <enyc> no_dog: this only creates the filesystem structure...
[08:41] <enyc> no_dog: thot does not 'reformat' (rewrite) all the data space
[08:42] <opl> hi all, if I issue a command like "mkdir abc" can I refere to that last command in the next row like "echo 'last command' >> testing.txt?
[08:42] <no_dog> enyc: Ok. Are you correcting my semantics, or saying that I did something incorrectly?
[08:43] <enyc> no_dog: I would try the following.... * unmount the filesystem....  * "badblocks -wvs /dev/sdb"   -- this will actually read-write test all the data space...  if the drive has dodgy sectors this will usually cause the disk to 'fix itself' after a few passes.....   if you cannot get that to work  then there is an incompatibility  or fault
[08:44] <gutierrezjosem> hello
[08:44] <no_dog> enyc: That will destroy the data on the drive, I take it?
[08:44] <enyc> no_dog: note that this will likely take a  long time...   I always  'badblocks -wvs' disks before using them
[08:44] <enyc> no_dog: yes
[08:44] <jgerber> exit
[08:44] <MrObvious> opl: Hmm.
[08:44] <enyc> no_dog: -v  does destructive write test
[08:45] <MrObvious> opl: The only thing I can think of is using the history command with grep
[08:45] <enyc> no_dog: -vs does sensible display of progress
[08:45] <no_dog> enyc: Ok. I will execute that and let it run. How will I know the difference between a successful run (I can use the drive, good to go) and an unsuccessful (time to try to get my money back) one?
[08:45] <MrObvious> opl: Unfourtinately my experience with bash scripting isn't that good.
[08:45] <enyc> no_dog:  you will get '0 bad blocks found' ;-)
[08:46] <no_dog> enyc: Heh, ok. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Thanks for the help!
[08:46] <enyc> no_dog: auusing you used -vs -- i.e. 'badblocks -wvs /dev/sdb' -- BE CAREFUL what device you use
[08:46] <enyc> no_dog: dont say 'hda' or 'sda' ;-)
[08:46] <enyc> no_dog: remember to umount the filesystem first
[08:46] <no_dog> enyc: Done and done :)
[08:46] <Jack_Sparrow> enyc: That is usb drive right, what about trying to set the bios to usb1.1 (slower) and see if his write fails again..
[08:47] <looktj> how do i remove vmware?
[08:47] <enyc> Jack_Sparrow: can do... if it fails badblocks ;-)
[08:47] <twosharp> hi =) how can i make the local characters, alt gr, delete buttons work? i mean in xserver-xorg, cause it works in shell, but as soon as the xserver is loaded i cant make the local characters work, nether the alt gr, delete and backspace are both backspace.. any idea how to fix this?
[08:47] <enyc> no_dog: hard disks for years have 'internal defect management'
[08:47] <Jack_Sparrow> enyc: Just a thought, wasnt trying to interrupt your progress
[08:48] <enyc> no_dog: this means..... that they will 'map out' bad sectors for spare sectors  but they only tend to remap on writing  having had read errors in past
[08:48] <Exclamation> hi
[08:48] <Lemino> anybody, a shortcommand in gnome for the system-manager?
[08:48] <spuddogg_> can someone here help me get my shared folders working?
[08:48] <looktj> anyone know command to remove vmware?
[08:49] <enyc> no_dog: doing a 'badblocks -wvs' is both testing and alse reduction of likelihood of problems
[08:49] <no_dog> enyc: If it has bad sectors, but badblocks identifies them, is the drive still usable?
[08:49] <Exclamation> im having problem with my wireless. its detected, light is on. iwconfig looks good. im usifn networkmanager to connect but i cant get an ip from wireless, wired works fine...
[08:49] <enyc> no_dog: if you have  errors on the (eventual) completion of badblocks.... do it all again... you may find the drive has then fixed itself
[08:49] <enyc> no_dog: not really
[08:49] <looktj> why wont anyone answer my question?
[08:50] <enyc> no_dog: you need to get it to give '0 bad blocks' before you use the drive
[08:50] <jjjjjjj> i'm aborting the 6.06 upgrade and will just install via the .iso i d/l yesterday.
[08:50] <jjjjjjj> 6hrs is too long too wait.
[08:50] <enyc> no_dog: it could  be a problem w/ the drive.... or caddy/cable  ... or usb driver/whatever
[08:50] <Jack_Sparrow> jjjjjjj: Np..
[08:50] <feryana> hi
[08:50] <aalex> In the GUI installer, how can I set the flag of a partition ? (boot, /, unused, etc. )
[08:50] <aalex> Dapper
[08:50] <j`ey> Jack_Sparrow: im on the desktop?
[08:50] <no_dog> enyc: So, just iterate until I get 0 bad blocks, and if I can't get that, send it back and hope that it was somebody else's fault?
[08:50] <enyc> no_dog: sounds sensible ;-)
[08:51] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: click on install
[08:51] <looktj> guys?! how do i remove vmware via terminal ???
[08:51] <jjjjjjj> the servers seem to be really slow today.
[08:51] <j`ey> k
[08:51] <enyc> no_dog: it will take a long time ;-)
[08:51] <Jack_Sparrow> select lang
[08:51] <j`ey> Jack_Sparrow: k
[08:51] <looktj> im feeling ignored
[08:51] <|thunder> Sup all, Im guessing this is a no, but is there a way to comtrol grub with a USB keyboard ?
[08:51] <clearzen> looktj: sudo apt-get remove --purge vmware
[08:51] <no_dog> enyc: Noted :). Thanks again for the help!
[08:51] <looktj> thanks
[08:51] <dgl> how package I should use to start working with latex?
[08:51] <enyc> |thunder: yes if bios supports the usb keyboard... no otherwise
[08:51] <mansfeld> hi folks
[08:51] <feryana> hey guys I want to install linux in my other laptop too... but is a PIII and froze when starting partitioner... I think that maybe the laptop can't handle the live CD + installation. How can I install it without live CD? Is dapper
[08:51] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: city
[08:51] <dgl> what package should I use to start working with latex?
[08:52] <enyc> |thunder: you may need to turn on usb keyborad support is BIOS setup
[08:52] <j`ey> Jack_Sparrow: & keyorad, done
[08:52] <frying_fish> feryana: download the "alternate" cd
[08:52] <|thunder> enyc, thanks alot, I think I disabled it for the OSX setup, thanks alot. BRB, gonna try it out
[08:52] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: My laptop is slow...
[08:52] <frying_fish> it does a text based install
[08:52] <feryana> frying_fish, and then just will install?
[08:52] <anon32> need help with dualbooting! link to a support page please?
[08:52] <foo> How do I install nvidia drivers?
[08:52] <enyc> no_dog: id be interestid te know what you eventually find out/do... please write to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and remind me you were 'no_dog' and what happened... please
[08:52] <anon32> foo: from nvidia, if they have linux drivers
[08:52] <dalamar> !dualboot
[08:52] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions for x86/amd64 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - for mac https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[08:53] <clearzen> foo: automatix is your friend
[08:53] <mansfeld> I was wondering... anyone know a way to mount a Thinkpad hard drive in linux? (I assume there's something weird about the partition table, in order to have the IBM boot utilities?)
[08:53] <foo> anon32: Hm. Ok. I didn't know if there was a "ubuntu way".
[08:53] <foo> clearzen: What is that?
[08:53] <frying_fish> feryana: you can install it from that yes
[08:53] <anon32> thanks, does that cover dualbooting with dual hard drives?
[08:53] <frying_fish> and it uses less resources, so more chance of it working.
[08:53] <j`ey> Jack_Sparrow: ive done my name etc,
[08:53] <clearzen> it is an installation package for ubuntu
[08:53] <clearzen> it has it's own wiki
[08:53] <anon32> foo: the "ubuntu way" is for you to go download the gcc and compile nvidia's sources, if they have them
[08:53] <no_dog> enyc: Absolutely. Would be the least I could do :)
[08:53] <fooba1> where can I find information on getting my desktop to hibernate/suspend properly?
[08:54] <no_dog> enyc: I'm going to watch some vids and let this run
[08:54] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: first option is resize
[08:54] <mansfeld> a friend of mine is trying to rescue data from his laptop harddrive (onto his desktop PC), and can't get the HDD to mount (Gparted won't recognize the partition)
[08:54] <godfather> see you later
[08:54] <j`ey> Jack_Sparrow: its erase for me
[08:54] <clearzen> foo: here is a link http://www.getautomatix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installation
[08:54] <Flannel> !tell foo about nvidia
[08:54] <fooba1> hibernate shuts down the computer, but when it comes back up it has brown/black vertical bars (my laptop does that, but then it redraws the login screen)
[08:54] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: Your first option is not resize?
[08:54] <j`ey> no
[08:54] <Flannel> clearzen: please don't recommend automatix here.
[08:54] <j`ey> erase
[08:55] <clearzen> k
[08:55] <feryana> ok thanks man!
[08:55] <Flannel> foo: ubotu sent you a link that'll get you all set up with nvidia drivers
[08:55] <foo> Flannel: thanks, that's what I was looking for
[08:55] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: So you only have two options, erase or manual?
[08:55] <j`ey> erase, use space,manual
[08:55] <j`ey> Jack_Sparrow: what version are yo using?
[08:55] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: What version are you trying to install?
[08:56] <tristan_> Flannel, why is it forbidden to recomand automatix?
[08:56] <Jack_Sparrow> j`ey_: 6.06
[08:56] <Flannel> tristan_: because it breaks a lot of systems, and when they break, they're near impossible to put back together
[08:56] <lupine_85> 'cos it's naughty :)
[08:56] <frying_fish> tristan_: because it is very bad
[08:56] <Jack_Sparrow> tristan_: It breaks systems
