[05:03] <fyrestrtr> Darkprince: x-plane (http://www.x-plane.com) is the only one I bother with.
[05:03] <padan> I am trying to get this digital camera I picked up working with ubuntu (dapper), its a digital concepts, although I am unable to find the actual model number anywhere.  It shows up as : [17514554.940000]  drivers/usb/media/spca5xx/spca5xx-main.c: USB SPCA5XX camera found. ApexDigital Digitrex 2110 spca533
[05:03] <Darkprince> fyrestrtr, essentially i am pretty new to linux and i want to be able to play games without booting windows so i can get used to using linux
[05:03] <james296> how can I reset xorg.conf?
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: Lets take this pm.. ok
[05:04] <Paddy_EIRE> k
[05:04] <padan> does anyone know what I could use to mount the camera, or some app to pull down the data on it?
[05:04] <fyrestrtr> Darkprince: there are a lot of games for linux though, one of the better ones is Coldwar
[05:04] <Mr0bvious> Who here knows about VNC? I want to change the WM that is used.
[05:04] <Mr0bvious> I normally use E17 but VNC uses KDE.
[05:04] <Darkprince> fyrestrtr, basically i want to be able to play WoW
[05:04] <fyrestrtr> Darkprince: first step is to find out how well your game is supported under wine.
[05:04] <npster> matheiu: As sound konverter converts the mp3s into wav i get 35 MB and by my calculations I should get 720 KB
[05:04] <fyrestrtr> Darkprince: WoW is supported very well (I used to play it under wine)
[05:04] <Darkprince> fyrestrtr, can you help me install and set up wine?
[05:05] <padan> mrobvioux, you should just put in like 'exec /some/wm' to ~youruser/.xsession
[05:05] <GaiaX11> Is it difficult to install wine in ubuntu? Probably not. But, it must be difficult to configure it. Where can i find advice to config it in ubuntu?
 im in pm channel jack_Sparrow
[05:05] <fyrestrtr> Darkprince: all you ever wanted to know is at http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=5109

[05:07] <HesNikke> IP networking on my ubuntu box just quit
[05:07] <padan> i guess its a webcam too, but mainly i am interested in the picture ability
[05:07] <padan> heh
[05:07] <HesNikke> no amount of ifdown/ifup fixes it
[05:07] <alekz> how can i create a boot diskette with grub ?
[05:07] <fyrestrtr> !grub > alekz
[05:07] <HesNikke> looking in ifconfig it shows that RX packets are at 40.0 GiB
[05:07] <HesNikke> yay for using correct terms btw :)
[05:07] <alekz> thanks fyrestrt1
[05:08] <fyrestrtr> HesNikke: wired network?
[05:08] <HesNikke> sort of
[05:08] <fyrestrtr> either it is, or it isn't.
[05:08] <HesNikke> it is, but it's going through a wireless bridge
[05:08] <HesNikke> (dd-wrt)
[05:08] <fyrestrtr> HesNikke: do you have a wire connecting your computer to the bridge?
[05:09] <HesNikke> yes
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> then its wired.
[05:09] <raghu206> when i type compiz-start menu bars and task bars disappears
[05:09] <GaiaX11> Wine?
[05:09] <HesNikke> and dhcp requests successed
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> raghu206: #ubuntu-xgl
[05:09] <HesNikke> the dhcp server is on the other side of the bridge
[05:09] <fyrestrtr> HesNikke: are you getting an ip address?
[05:09] <gubluntu> How do i initiate a console connection over COM1 from terminal of a machine that is already setup for it?
[05:09] <HesNikke> yet, i can't ping the router
[05:09] <HesNikke> yes
[05:10] <james296> so how can I reset my xorg.conf???
[05:10] <fyrestrtr> other nodes on the network working properly?
[05:10] <HesNikke> yes

[05:10] <HesNikke> just IP networking that died
[05:10] <fyrestrtr> james296: you have been repeating the same question, despite me (and others) telling you multiple times how to reset it. So what's the real problem you have?
[05:10] <gubluntu> james296, check the beginning of the file, its something like dpkg
[05:10] <Healot> !find flash
[05:10] <ubotu> Found: flashybrid, libflash-dev, libflash-mozplugin, libflash-swfplayer, libflash0c2 (and 4 others)

[05:13] <james296> that only changes my resolution
[05:13] <HesNikke> alright, since IP networking decided to come back on it's own

[05:15] <matid> Hi. I have a weird problem. Sometimes, when I middle-click on a link in FF or Epiphany two tabs open instead of one. It seems that sometimes two middle-clicks are detected by Xorg instead of one. Have you ever encountered this problem?
[05:15] <shadowhywind> I am having a problem connecting to the internet in linux, any dhcp commands i can use in the shell?
[05:15] <erlan> cvcdvf
[05:15] <erlan> dfdf
[05:15] <matid> shadowhywind: sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart
[05:16] <matid> shadowhywind: or sudo dhclient
[05:16] <erlan> gyhfg
[05:16] <erlan> gh
[05:16] <erlan> gh
[05:16] <erlan> gh
[05:16] <erlan> gh
[05:16] <erlan> h
[05:16] <erlan> g
[05:16] <erlan> h
[05:16] <lonran> Jack_Sparrow, i need to download the packet from somewhere in windows, cuz i cannot use apt-get in ubuntu without network, does that packet come in the instalation disk?
[05:16] <erlan> g
[05:16] <shadowhywind> haven't tried those yet, if those don't work any other ideas? *i want to try a few things before having to switch back*
[05:16] <wladston> guys : my ubuntu instalation won't login anymore. I guess it's because of lack of free space on disk.... anyone can help ?
[05:17] <NthDegree> wladston, simple
[05:17] <kryton^> Any one with any idea why after login I do not get the Gnome Desktop, just a beautful brown screen.
[05:17] <matid> wladston: Can you log in via the terminal, bypassing the gdm?
[05:17] <Deaigo> is there a way to make linux offlaodm ore to swap?
[05:17] <Toma-> Ive been rather slow in the ubuntu world lately. Anyone care to fill me in on the latest and greatest desktop things? (eg. xfce 4.4 rc1)
[05:17] <wladston> matid : yes!
[05:17] <erlan> dfdf
[05:17] <Deaigo> becaussr at this point intime it has 1meg free all the time
[05:17] <matid> wladston: Then do it and delete some files ;)
[05:17] <NthDegree> Deaigo, are you insane? Linux is NOT windows, free RAM is WASTED RAM
[05:17] <lonran> where can i donwload the packet bcm43xx-fwcutter if i cannot use the repository without network? does this packet come in the instalation disk?
[05:17] <shadowhywind> wladston - have you tried to clean your apt files?
[05:17] <Deaigo> so if you apply any stress it kills rpoceses
[05:18] <wladston> matid : i've tried ... there are no more files to delete ... the problem heappened after I tried to install eclipse :|
[05:18] <erlan> eae
[05:18] <Deaigo> NthDegree i mean like more readily offload it to swap
[05:18] <NthDegree> Deaigo, free RAM is wasted RAM and that is the truth
[05:18] <matid> sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean
[05:18] <shadowhywind> i had the same problem, and once i cleared out the useless left over files from apt i had enough free to sign back in
[05:18] <Wulong> Where can I get aalib1 >= 1.2 in package?
[05:18] <wladston> shadowind : how can i do it ?
[05:18] <matid> wladston: Try if it helps
[05:18] <bbrazil> matid: clean > autoclean
[05:18] <Deaigo> NthDegree my processes die because there is not mem space
[05:18] <kryton^> Any one with any idea why after login I do not get the Gnome desktop just a beautful brown screen and a cursor!
[05:18] <wladston> matid : thanks!
[05:18] <Deaigo> do you have any idea how annoying that is?
[05:18] <shadowhywind> wladston - what matid said, sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean
[05:18] <Neo8750> matid: clean removes all the stuff autoclean would remove
[05:18] <xopher> When using pbuilder, how do I add more repositories?
[05:19] <drummer87> hi, can someone tell me what to install to get aiglx running in edgy?
[05:19] <wladston> thanks! I'll get out on m$ win now ...
[05:19] <NthDegree> Deaigo, it will swap to disk when you are low on RAM
[05:19] <frogzoo> Deaigo: add swap
[05:19] <Paddy_EIRE> I love how well ubuntu is running at this stage....hopefully none of the updates to come out ruin my setup....can i have like a system restore option??
[05:19] <xopher> drummer87, #ubuntu+1 for edgy, and aiglx is installed just enable it
[05:19] <Deaigo> i have a 512 swap
[05:19] <Deaigo> it never uses more thant 160
[05:19] <shadowhywind> morning all
[05:19] <kryton^> Any one with any idea why after login I do not get the Gnome desktop just a beautful brown screen and a cursor!
[05:19] <wladston> i think ubuntu could warn the user if there is no space to install anything he wants to
[05:19] <shadowhywind> *doh*
[05:20] <NthDegree> Deaigo, did you make a swap partition of double your RAM size but no bigger than 2048?
[05:20] <Deaigo> 128meg ram 512 swap
[05:20] <matid> Neo8750: That's true, I wasn't aware of this, but I think that I saw these two commands used together in some kind of a manual or a wiki page
[05:20] <NthDegree> wladston, open a terminal: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove
[05:20] <mdke> is there a trick for viewing https sites using edgy?
[05:20] <wladston> I'll try it now, gope it works!
[05:20] <krang> does anyone know if there's a util that takes some text (line breaks included) and outputs an escaped version suitable for use with sed?
[05:20] <mdke> seems that neither firefox nor epiphany will do it on this machine (https)
[05:20] <Neo8750> matid: i was more or less asking to be sure i just forgot the '?'
[05:21] <wladston> see ya!
[05:21] <NthDegree> if ubuntu is working properly that should leave you with more free space, but beware that has borked on me sometimes
[05:21] <kryton^> Any one with any idea why after login I do not get the Gnome desktop just a beautful brown screen and a cursor!
[05:21] <frogzoo> Paddy_EIRE: back up /etc & the output of 'dpkg --get-selections'   & you should be able to recreate  your box without too much difficulty
[05:21] <Neo8750> kryton^: because when x load it doesn't load gnome?
[05:21] <NthDegree> kryton^, removed any packages recently
[05:21] <section3> anyone know why my shell sessions times out or something when I"m logged in via my ssh client (putty)
[05:21] <matid> Neo8750: You were right, autoclean removes less packages than clean, so only one command should suffice
[05:21] <kryton^> Neo8750 - i've got the login showing and logged in
[05:22] <kryton^> NthDegree - no this is a fresh dapper install
[05:22] <frogzoo> NthDegree: why swap no bigger than 2gig?
[05:22] <Neo8750> kryton^: so you got a graphical login?
[05:22] <kryton^> yes
[05:22] <kryton^> and then i login and BROWN
[05:22] <Neo8750> at login you should see option sessions
[05:22] <matid> Neo8750: But still, running both won't break anything
 im sure of 'get and set' although what is mainly contained in /etc
[05:22] <Neo8750> matid: true
[05:22] <Paddy_EIRE> config
[05:22] <kryton^> Neo8750, yeah.. it is set to Default System Session
[05:22] <NthDegree> frogzoo, it's an ancient limitation that swap used to be no bigger than 2048 (it wouldn't allow you to make it any bigger than that)
[05:22] <Toma-> kryton^: check your ~/.Xsession-errors file for anything suspicious
[05:23] <padan> easycam does not run, complains about the lack of gnome libs I believe, but from reading about what it does, i do not think I need it.  It seems that it only detects and compiles a driver for you.  as I posted before, my camera is recognized and a kernel module is loaded.
[05:23] <Neo8750> kryton^: try loading with just terminal and do as toma says
[05:23] <kryton^> it just says "Beginning session setup.."
 what about driver configurations such as how i got 1280x1024 will this be remembered
[05:23] <padan> the problem is that i can not get the photos off of the camera
[05:23] <frogzoo> NthDegree: these days you can add multiple swaps so even if the limits still there (probly not) there's a way around it
[05:23] <kryton^> i've got terminal and i'm looking at xsession-errors
[05:23] <Toma-> kryton^: hmm.
[05:23] <padan> camerama starts and then bitches that it can't capture video, however I dont want the video, I want the photos
[05:24] <kryton^> all it says is "Registering, .... running,..... beginning session setup", no errors
[05:24] <Neo8750> and if no problems there try loading what ever gnome loads on start from the terminal (i don't know what that is)
[05:24] <Zaxxon> hi need help ... just loaded ubuntu and it can't see my usb wireless card it's a EUB 362 ext any info ??
[05:24] <NthDegree> frogzoo, there is no more limit but all these limitations I abide by historically for stability purposes
[05:24] <NthDegree> e.g no boot partition beyond 1024th cylinder
[05:24] <Neo8750> whats gnome start when it loads gnome-desktop  or something?
[05:25] <NthDegree> gnome-panel
[05:25] <NthDegree> then the panel loads the applets
[05:25] <Neo8750> kryton^: try loading 'gnome-pannel &' from terminal
[05:25] <Zaxxon> hi need help ... just loaded ubuntu and it can't see my usb wireless card it's a EUB 362 ext any info ??
[05:25] <kryton^> command not found :S ?
[05:25] <Neo8750> opps
[05:25] <Wulong> (EE) -- Where can I get aalib1 >= 1.2 package?
[05:26] <Neo8750> gnome-panel &
[05:26] <Neo8750> 1 to many n's
[05:26] <kryton^> yeah, command not found
[05:26] <Neo8750> then you need to reinstall gnome =/
[05:26] <kryton^> uggh, which package is it?
[05:26] <Neo8750> got me
[05:26] <gubluntu> ubuntu-desktop
[05:26] <NthDegree> kryton^ try erasing your GNOME settings
[05:27] <NthDegree> gubluntu, that wont do it
[05:27] <gubluntu> takes care of all dependencies
[05:27] <Toma-> dont erase.
[05:27] <Toma-> mv .gconf .gconf-old
[05:27] <Toma-> *smarter
[05:27] <kryton^> yeah tah, strange how i have graphical login tho and no gnome
[05:27] <Neo8750> yeah backup best way
[05:27] <NthDegree> that's what I used to say
[05:27] <Neo8750> graphical login is gdm not gnome
[05:27] <kryton^> well, still
[05:27] <NthDegree> GNOME display manager == gdm
[05:27] <Neo8750> i have graphical login but i run xfce
[05:27] <kallei> I'm trying to install subversion on a server, but i get the message "Media change: please insert the disc lable" when apt-get install subversion. the problem is that the server is 800 miles away :)  what can i do ?

[05:28] <NthDegree> kallei, easy
[05:28] <matid> Resent: I have a weird problem. Sometimes, when I middle-click on a link in FF or Epiphany two tabs open instead of one. It seems that sometimes two middle-clicks are detected by Xorg instead of one. Have you ever encountered this problem?
[05:28] <NthDegree> kallei, just sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:28] <NthDegree> then remove the lines for the CD-ROM
[05:28] <NthDegree> then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install subversion
[05:28] <covOPprometheus> matid, are you using a generic or a specific driver for the mouse?
[05:28] <NthDegree> and you are done
[05:29] <Xteven> hello, can I download an ubuntu install cd with a more recent kernel ?
[05:29] <matid> covOPprometheus: I use ExplorerPS/2 with my Logitech MX 700
[05:29] <matid> covOPprometheus: I'm not aware of any Logitech-specific drivers
[05:29] <kallei> NthDegree: thanks :D
[05:29] <NthDegree> Xteven, ubuntu edgy or there's 6.06.1 or w/e it is called
[05:29] <Neo8750> edgy is fun
[05:30] <matid> covOPprometheus: Sorry. the driver is generic (mouse), that is the protocol I use
[05:30] <Neo8750> its got it quirks
[05:30] <Xteven> NthDegree : ok, I'll check it out
[05:30] <covOPprometheus> matid, ok, sorry then, I have no clue ;) might try to install a diferent driver and test it
[05:30] <matid> covOPprometheus: Thanks anyway

[05:56] <alex-weej> What the f***? A notification that read "To avoid serious...." popped up in my bottom right hand corner and I have no idea what it said.
[05:57] <fyrestrtr> alex-weej: on a lapyop?
[05:57] <alex-weej> fyrestrt negatory
[05:57] <alex-weej> fyrestrt actually google ""To avoid serious" GNOME" points to the fact that I just unplugged my mobile phone without unmounting its volume first
[05:57] <alex-weej> That'll be why :P
[05:58] <webwolf_27> alex-weej, you risk your data by doing that
[05:58] <alex-weej> webwolf_27: apparently
[05:59] <Bimmerman1911> sorry for this newbie question, but when i try to remove a pre-isntalled package with synaptic, it says it has to remove ubuntu-desktop, is this true? how do i remove a pre-installed package safely?
[05:59] <DethKlok> In scripting how do I store the output of a command into a variable?
[05:59] <DethKlok> such as the date

[05:59] <padan> SOMEVAR="`date`"
[05:59] <webwolf_27> Bimmerman1911, what package do you want to remove

[05:59] <Crippy-Boy> Hi all.
[05:59] <_w^x_> if i've ripped a dvd with thoggen how can I then covert the .ogg file to .avi or mpeg4???????
[06:00] <_w^x_> any media heads here?
[06:00] <padan> w^x, have you looked at vcdhelp.com ?
[06:00] <Bimmerman1911> webwolf_27: evolution for example
[06:00] <alex-weej> Bimmerman1911: removing ubuntu-desktop doesn't actually remove any software
[06:00] <alex-weej> Bimmerman1911: it is only a "meta package" for the default desktop suite
[06:00] <Bimmerman1911> alex-weej: so its safe to remove even tho it says like that?
[06:00] <alex-weej> Bimmerman1911: however, you should normally keep it intact, as when you upgrade distros ubuntu-desktop pulls in the latest set of desktop software
[06:00] <webwolf_27> Bimmerman1911, evolution is part of ubuntu-desktop
[06:01] <alex-weej> Bimmerman1911: what exactly does it say?
[06:01] <Crippy-Boy> Is there a reason why after upgrading my kernel i get no boot messages. I just get 'booting <kernel>...' and then everything goes blank untill gdm kicks in
[06:01] <alex-weej> Crippy-Boy: Edgy? Upstart?
[06:01] <Crippy-Boy> alex-weej: Dapper.
[06:01] <alex-weej> Crippy-Boy: pass then
[06:01] <alex-weej> What video hardware are you on?
[06:01] <Bimmerman1911> alex-weej: it says the same for all pre-installed packages... (translated) these packges will alsoe be removed: ubuntu-desktop
[06:01] <alex-weej> Bimmerman1911: yep that is expected.
[06:02] <Bimmerman1911> webwolf_27: yeah but i should be forces to keep it right?
[06:02] <Bimmerman1911> alex-weej: so its safe to remove?
[06:02] <alex-weej> Bimmerman1911: safe, but not recommended
[06:03] <Bimmerman1911> alex-weej: it doesent remove the whole desktop anyway?
[06:03] <KarmaFrog> can someone help me with a network question:  I/m trying to set it up so i can use my laptop to ssh into my desktop using a crossover cable , but when i change the network settings to static ip  and put in <IP_ADDRESS>  as the ip iin the section where you're supposed to choose the default device it doesnt give me any options
[06:03] <webwolf_27> Bimmerman1911, it is not dangerous to remove evolution, altough it is part of the efault desktop. It should not remove any REAL software except evolution
[06:03] <M_A_K> I just cloned a HD with norton ghost and am having trouble getting the cloned drive working.  I cannot seem to change the hostname nor can I keep the network settings for some reason,
[06:04] <TheDude> question - how can I make the clock on the upper right, to show the time as 24 hour time?
[06:04] <blad3> hi guys. i would like to start a terminal a run a command several times automatically. practically i would like to run who continuously. like top does with processes. can you please help?
 right click it choose adjust date and time then choose in there
[06:05] <harisund_> blad3 you could run it in one of the ttys available from Ctrl+Alt+F1 through Ctrl+Alt+F6 ..
[06:05] <harisund_> or blad3 you could use screen to run it ..
[06:05] <_thumper_> found the solution: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/33719
[06:05] <_thumper_> off now
[06:05] <Crippy-Boy> alex-weej: No worries, Figured it out, It added the splash option to my menu.lst and i had usplash disabled :-) Stupid mistake
[06:05] <TheDude> Paddy_EIRE, there isn't any option like that in there
[06:05] <_w^x_> asdpofhasf[oasj
[06:05] <Linuturk> I can't open links from xchat or evolution since uninstalling swiftfox and going back to firefox. How can I fix this problem?
[06:05] <blad3> yes, but i would like to run this command continuously to see when somebody has logged in.
[06:06] <Bimmerman1911> alex-weej: thanx for the help
[06:06] <Bimmerman1911> webwolf_27: thanx for the help
[06:06] <Jack_Sparrow> TheDude: right click clock and got o preferences
[06:06] <harisund_> blad3: I doubt if that would help. You could probably run it like every 2 minute sand have the output sent to a log file or something.
[06:06] <webwolf_27> damn, not even a chance to say no problem
[06:06] <TheDude> Jack_Sparrow, 10x man. works!
[06:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: had you there..
 i dont get it?? thats where i choose mine .... try typing time in 24hr format in there to see if it adjusts
[06:07] <M_A_K> anybody know what might be causing me to not be able to change hostname?
[06:07] <blad3> i see. thanks for help. i remember that a year ago i learned about a tool that does that in linux. but i forgot the name of that tool
[06:07] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah
[06:07] <frogzoo> M_A_K: what have you changed?
[06:07] <M_A_K> I cloned a HD and cannot change the hostname on the new drive
[06:07] <frogzoo> M_A_K: what have you changed?
[06:08] <M_A_K> Not sure what you mean?
[06:08] <frogzoo> M_A_K: /etc/hostname & /etc/hosts

[06:18] <harisund_> lilbit I think wget can create a mirror. If not you can use something called HTTrack
[06:18] <webwolf_27> binary_goofy, or better yet dd if=/dev/cdrom of=vcd.iso
[06:18] <Spec> binary_goofy: how were you trying to copy it in the first place?

[06:18] <webwolf_27> AdamDH, sorry I on't know how to explain it easier
[06:19] <Spec> Otacon22: persons
[06:19] <Otacon22> i havea a problem with a wireless card
[06:19] <Spec> which wireless card?
[06:19] <Otacon22> a d-link
[06:19] <AdamDH> Im a tad confused. Right I installed the OEM version so I did the first stage. I am logged in as oem and password I set in install. So what is the sudo password while at that stage as the one at install does not work? I want to setup packages etc before issusing sudo oem-config-prepare.
[06:19] <Otacon22> i have see
[06:19] <Otacon22> in dmesg
[06:19] <Otacon22> and it say:
[06:19] <disastorm> im trying to switch from the ati drivers to the ubuntu ati drivers how do i uninstall the ati drivers first. someone told me a command awhile ago that made it work but i cant remember it
[06:19] <Otacon22> mac address.. is on channel 0 outside of channel range of current regulatory domani
[06:19] <Otacon22> *domain
[06:19] <Otacon22> why?
[06:19] <Kosken> I just updated to kernel 2.6.17 so I can use the 43xx drivers, how can I change so it would use them? :S
[06:19] <Otacon22> my router is on channel 0!
[06:20] <ernie_r> what happened to the ls colors between breezy and dapper?
[06:20] <Otacon22> how can i connect outside channel 0?
[06:20] <Spec> Kosken: read the wiki
[06:20] <shawnr_> fyrestrt1, that worked thanks ;p
[06:20] <Kosken> Spec, I did. Though it seems that its mostly made b4 2.6.17
[06:21] <shawnr_> fyrestrtr, that worked thanks ;p
[06:21] <PM^> is there a setting that makes ubuntu log me off when my screen is locked?
[06:21] <harisund> can I compile a new kernel when Ubuntu is running under VMware and run that new kernel?
[06:21] <Leafw> over 46 days the gnome-cups-icon has grown to 46% of all memory. Any ideas what is going on?
[06:21] <PM^> because it happend to me that i locked my screen, but after a few hours, i was logged off
[06:21] <webwolf_27> Kosken, you need to reboot into the new kernel (make sure it's set in /boot/grub/menu.lst 1st)
[06:21] <stagger> hi! can anyone tell me which package contains the default settings and schemas in /etc/ldap? mine is gone and reinstalling slapd doesn't help :(
[06:21] <Spec> Kosken: well, that's only because i wrote it before 2.6.17 was used :-/
[06:21] <disastorm> im trying to switch from the ati drivers to the ubuntu ati drivers how do i uninstall the ati drivers first. someone told me a command awhile ago that made it work but i cant remember it
[06:22] <harisund> disastorm: how did you install the ati drivers in the first place/
[06:22] <disastorm> the "second method"
[06:22] <harisund> disastorm: what is that?
[06:22] <disastorm> well theres 2 methods to install ati the first one is ubuntu drivers and the second one iati drivers
[06:23] <harisund> so I am guessing you added a repo (Seveas') and install ubuntu-fglrx-$arch packages?
[06:23] <disastorm> if u use the second method and u wanna switch over to the first this guy told me a command i have to type in first but i dont ermember it
[06:23] <disastorm> i guess it uninstalled the second method or something
[06:24] <Kosken> Spec Oh u wrote it :P?. Im just wondering what would be the smartest way to move forward, as some type of 43xx drivers should be included in 2.6.17
[06:24] <EmxBA> hello
[06:25] <Leafw> how can one disable the "gnome cups icon", when killed it relaunches.
[06:25] <Spec> Kosken: I didn't write all of it, but I started it and wrote a bunch of it
[06:25] <Leafw> how can one terminate a user session remotely ?
[06:25] <stagger> could someone who has never installed an ldap server please check if /etc/ldap contains anything?
[06:25] <Spec> Kosken: but if it's changed since then, I haven't kept up to date :p
[06:25] <Leafw> a user session that was opened in the desktop, that is.
[06:25] <Spec> Leafw: look for the PID of the session and kill it
[06:26] <disastorm> im trying to switch from the ati drivers to the ubuntu ati drivers how do i uninstall the ati drivers first. someone told me a command awhile ago that made it work but i cant remember it
[06:26] <Spec> Leafw: ps aux |grep -i username
[06:26] <Kosken> Spec: Im quite unsure about the whole broadcom thing. Ralink seems easier :P
[06:26] <webwolf_27> stagger, if I ha one yes
[06:26] <Spec> Kosken: <3 bcm43xx :)
[06:26] <stagger> webwolf_27: does it contain schemas/core.schema?
[06:26] <Kosken> Spec: haha lemme guess u got a broadcom :P
[06:26] <Spec> yeap, that's why i wrote the page :p
[06:26] <Spec> built into my MB though, so I don't really have a choice
[06:26] <Kosken> Spec: did u ever manage to packet inject with it?
[06:26] <Spec> packet inject?
[06:26] <webwolf_27> stagger, I don't have an/etc/ldap
[06:27] <Kosken> Spec: yep :)
[06:27] <Spec> what's that?
[06:27] <stagger> webwolf_27:ok, sorry. got you wrong
[06:27] <Kosken> Spec: send data to router, to make it respond
[06:27] <Spec> oh, well then, yes, i use my wifi card all the time :p
[06:27] <nataraj_> hi. is there any way to bypass the file-system check while booting?
[06:27] <Spec> i've made it work with the bcm43xx module in the kernel, and with ndiswrapper
[06:27] <webwolf_27> stagger, if no ldap server is installed there shouldn't be one
[06:28] <Kosken> Spec: you probl running kernel 2.6.17?
[06:28] <Spec> nataraj_: you can edit /etc/fstab
[06:28] <Leafw> Spec : which is the root process of the user, a gnome-session is not present!

[06:30] <Spec> quiet: i use bcm43xx all the time.
[06:30] <stagger> webwolf_27: perhaps /etc/ldap is present on a default ubuntu server installation
[06:31] <Spec> and, uhh, well, it works....which is the opposite of being broken
[06:31] <quiet> it's horrible...  bcmwl5a.inf with ndiswrapper works flawlessly, all the time.
[06:31] <Spec> but....mine works flawlessly all the time....
[06:31] <webwolf_27> stagger, could be, I'm on my LFS box at the moment
[06:31] <quiet> Spec, what chip?
[06:31] <Spec> and it doesn't use a proprietary driver made for microsoft ....
[06:31] <Kosken> quiet: have u managed to packet inject with it?
[06:31] <quiet> I actually prefer ndiswrapper.. because it works the same regardless of the chip.
[06:32] <quiet> Kosken, i haven't tried.
[06:32] <Spec> luckily, i only have one chip.
[06:32] <Kosken> quiet: okay
[06:32] <Jack_Sparrow> quiet: Is this the link  you suggest ?
[06:32] <Leafw> what process (what name) has to be killed to kill a gnome session?
[06:32] <Jack_Sparrow> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[06:32] <Leafw> !gnome
[06:32] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[06:32] <Spec> man the wiki is slow
[06:33] <stagger> anyone here running ubuntu server? no ldap? is /etc/ldap present?
[06:33] <quiet> Jack_Sparrow, i don't know of any links with it... first thing i do upon installation is add bcm43xx to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and install ndiswrapper.
[06:33] <fyrestrtr> Leafw: a session, or the entire X system?
[06:33] <quiet> I have the Boradcom 4318 chip
[06:33] <Jack_Sparrow> quiet: I think that link details what you are saying
[06:34] <Leafw> fyrestrtr: a session or the entire X, any of the two. I just want to have the machien running as a server and there is an opened gnome session at the moment
[06:34] <quiet> the driver i use is:  http://bsdgeek.no-ip.org/~joe/802bg.zip and the bcmwl5a.inf driver within it.
[06:34] <fyrestrtr> Leafw: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop <-- this will stop X
[06:34] <Leafw> thanks fyrestrttr
[06:36] <binary_goof1> i'm getting I/O errors when i try to copy any VCD's onto my HDD. there r no probs wit playing, only copyin. can somebody pls help?
[06:37] <quiet> the bcm43xx may work with some of the broadcom chipsets, but it certainly does not work with the 4318, as far as I can tell. I tested it with Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE, and Gentoo. The card would be recognized but would not connect to any wireless networks.
[06:37] <bsdfox> quiet: it works well on my bcm4306
[06:37] <Spec> binary_goof1: did you try: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/vcd.iso
[06:37] <webwolf_27> binary_goof1, like I said before dd if=/dev/cdrom of=vcd.iso then burn vcd.iso as an image
[06:37] <bsdfox> quiet, you've got the firmware right?
[06:38] <quiet> bsdfox, of course.
[06:38] <quiet> there are many reports of it not working with that chipset though, so I wasn't too surprised.
[06:38] <webwolf_27> binary_goof1, make sure /dev/cdrom is not mounted first
[06:38] <binary_goof1> spec, webwolf: this is the output from that command:
[06:38] <mishkin> hello

[06:39] <ernie_r> Why does 'ls --color=auto -FXsh' produce such different results under Dapper when compared with Breezy?
[06:39] <Spec> mishkin: do you really want a response from 884 people?
[06:39] <disastorm> since i already installed method 2 of ati, if i switch over to method 1 it doesnt work. someone told me a command before to type in first that made it work but i dont remember it
[06:39] <greyscale> Having issues connecting remotely to a vmware server?

[06:41] <Spec> bill__: yes
[06:41] <Spec> bill__: same swap
[06:41] <Spec> bill__: unless you hibernate, because that'll save your ram into your swap

[06:43] <webwolf_27> binary_goof1, good now you have an iso. burn it.
[06:43] <Spec> they're more likely to speak french there than we are :)
[06:43] <disastorm> since i already installed method 2 of ati, if i switch over to method 1 it doesnt work. someone told me a command before to type in first that made it work but i dont remember it
[06:43] <Spec> webwolf_27: he got an I/O error, it'll probably not work
[06:44] <disastorm> how would i rmmod fglrx if its in use right now
[06:44] <tristan_> durruti, but you can have help here even by French people. But you'll have to speak English ;)
[06:44] <Lattyware> Hey all
[06:44] <poningru> anyone know where ubuntu mounts to the smb stuff?
[06:44] <binary_goof1> spec, webwolf: the first line said, i/o error
[06:44] <Lattyware> Having a problem, Linux is case sensitive, Correct?
[06:44] <Spec> Lattyware: yes
[06:44] <poningru> Lattyware: yes
[06:44] <durruti> tristan_ ok, bye ^^
[06:44] <webwolf_27> durruti, I only knew that because I'm trying to learn french
[06:44] <Spec> or is that Yes? or is it YES? or is it yEs?
[06:44] <trappist> Lattyware: sort of
[06:44] <durruti> (no comprendo :D)
[06:44] <Lattyware> Then howcome when I try mv ./knoppix ./KNOPPIC it fails?
[06:44] <Lattyware> *KNOPPIX
[06:45] <poningru> like I can do smb://<domain><user>@<server>/folder/file
[06:45] <trappist> Lattyware: linux filesystems are case sensitive, but not everything in linux is case sensitive
[06:45] <Spec> what's it say?
[06:45] <poningru> in nautilus
[06:45] <binary_goof1> spec, webwolf: the first line said, i/o error
[06:45] <webwolf_27> Spec, nope probably won't.
[06:45] <trappist> Lattyware: is it on a fat32 filesystem or a samba shere?
[06:45] <Spec> Lattyware: how's it fail?
[06:45] <Lattyware> Yeah, Fat32
[06:45] <Lattyware> Is that it?
[06:45] <webwolf_27> binary_goof1, is the cd mounted
[06:45] <Lattyware> Spec: Same file.
[06:45] <trappist> Lattyware: that's why.  fat32 is not case sensitive.
[06:45] <poningru> Lattyware: yeah thats the prob
[06:45] <binary_goof1> webwolf:nope. not mounted
[06:45] <Lattyware> ah
[06:45] <Lattyware> So rather, Linux isn't, but Ext3 is.
[06:45] <quiet> poningru, if you're talking about just browsing network servers, it's not mounted... you're just browsing it with gnome-vfs
[06:46] <trappist> Lattyware: 11:45 <trappist> Lattyware: linux filesystems are case sensitive, but not everything in linux is case sensitive
[06:46] <trappist> :)
[06:46] <Lattyware> Interestingly, FatX (Xbox fat) is too...
[06:46] <Lattyware> Thanks
[06:46] <Spec> Lattyware: but more than just filesystems in linux -are- case sensitive
[06:46] <poningru> quiet: ah ic
[06:46] <webwolf_27> binary_goof1, try a clone copy with k3b
[06:46] <poningru> thanks
[06:46] <ernie_r> Why does 'ls --color=auto -FXsh' produce such different results under Dapper when compared with Breezy?
[06:46] <ernie_r> Everything on my FAT partition shows up all greeny-blocky now
[06:46] <Lattyware> Spec: Yes, commands and such.
[06:47] <Spec> and passwords
[06:47] <Kosken> Spec: im a newb at this, how do u get the .o file to run? :S
[06:47] <webwolf_27> need to go. Bye folks
[06:47] <Spec> Kosken: eh?
[06:47] <ernie_r> Kosken, link it?
[06:47] <Kosken> Spec: :P
[06:47] <Lattyware> bingo, switched to my Ext3 partition and it works fine.
[06:47] <alex-weej> Kosken: you can't "run" .o (object) files
[06:47] <Kosken> dunno how :(
[06:47] <trappist> Kosken: you don't run .o files
[06:47] <Spec> Kosken: you don't, it just needs to be in the kernel: check if it's in: lsmod |grep -i 43xx
[06:47] <binary_goof1> webwolf: wil hav to install dat. but just to put things in perspective, the VCD's play fine, only don't copy onto HDD.

[06:48] <optimusprime> which is better wine or vmware?....i think it's vmware...
[06:48] <Spec> bah, who plays battlefield 1942 anyways
[06:48] <Spec> optimusprime: qemu
[06:48] <trappist> optimusprime: they're completely different.  it depends what problem you're trying to solve.
[06:48] <Spec> optimusprime: or xen
[06:48] <Amaranth> Well, at least he won't be coming back. :)
[06:49] <optimusprime> and also do I need windows on the same machine to run either one of those?
[06:49] <trappist> Spec: afaik you still can't run windows in xen
[06:49] <trappist> optimusprime: no
[06:49] <Spec> trappist: so?
[06:49] <Spec> trappist: :)
[06:49] <Spec> trappist: they announced that they would support it, with open standards actually (i don't think you can do it right *now* though...)
[06:49] <trappist> Spec: so he was asking about wine... stands to reason he's wanting to run win32 apps
[06:49] <wladston> ubunu works now! :)
[06:49] <binary_goof1> webwolf: while we're at it, i have one more question. how can i configure gxine to autoplay my VCD's and mplayer to autoplay my DVD's? right now, totem pops up for both.
[06:50] <sorush20> my alsa is not working properly since I keep getting this crash.. what packages do I need to have installed for alsa to be working smoothly.. do I need alsa-firmware-loaders?  CPUcount:2
[06:50] <sorush20> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22931
[06:50] <AlexC> binary_goof1, System -> Pres -> Preferd Applications ?
[06:50] <Amaranth> trappist: You can run Windows in Xen but only if you have a Core Solo/Duo or Core 2 Duo.
[06:50] <wladston> now, the disks manager application does not want to open ... it stays on that grayed out mode and I can't check how much free space  got .. any hints ?
[06:50] <binary_goof1> alexc: doesn't give option for VCD's.
[06:50] <trappist> Amaranth: ah.
[06:50] <quiet> Amaranth, you can run windows in xen if you HAVE VT capable processor
[06:50] <AlexC> binary_goof1, ahh
[06:50] <Amaranth> trappist: And Xen kernels don't play nice with nvidia drivers (or ati ones, I guess) so not even Dom0 can get 3d acceleration
[06:51] <Amaranth> quiet: The only VT capable processors are Core Solo/Duo and Core 2 Duo
[06:51] <AlexC> VT? Vertical Take off processors?
[06:51] <Amaranth> virtualization
[06:52] <disastorm> since i already installed method 2 of ati, if i switch over to method 1 it doesnt work. someone told me a command before to type in first that made it work but i dont remember it
[06:52] <AlexC> ahh
[06:52] <disastorm> how would i reset it to how it was before i installed any of the binary drivers
[06:52] <binary_goof1> how can i configure gxine to autoplay my VCD's and mplayer to autoplay my DVD's? right now, totem pops up for both.
[06:53] <trappist> so I have a cdrom drive, a dvd burner actually, that doesn't show up *at all* in ubuntu, though that's the drive I used to install it.  same for breezy, dapper and edgy.  no /dev/hdc (which is what it should be) or anything.  any ideas?
[06:53] <Spec> trappist: what's dmesg say?
[06:54] <trappist> Spec: hdc shows up only once in dmesg, like so: ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd008-0xd00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
[06:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: You here?
[06:54] <Spec> trappist: does 'cdrom' show up at all?
[06:55] <trappist> Spec: I do see this: ide1: Wait for ready failed before probe !
[06:55] <trappist> Spec: no cdrom
yeah im here
[06:55] <Spec> what else does 'ide1' say?
[06:55] <binary_goof1> totem pops up i meant
[06:55] <trappist> Spec: just this: ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15    and Probing IDE interface ide1...
[06:56] <infidel> how can i apt the latest version of kopete
sudo apt-get install kopete if it dont update then the newer version aint in the repos yet
[06:57] <gnomefreak> infidel: what version do you want? what version do you have? and what version of ubuntu do you have?
 what u at
[06:57] <infidel> gnomefreak: 12.x
[06:57] <trappist> infidel: if you're running dapper, there likely won't be a new version of kopete, unless you grab kde 3.5.4 from kubuntu.org
[06:58] <AlexC> trappist, Ahh I'm beeing good this time, I'm going to wait until its released officaly before I use it
[06:58] <ompaul> !edgy
[06:58] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[06:58] <infidel> trappist: i have kde installed on this version of ubuntu can i upgrade it from repository
[06:58] <trappist> AlexC: why does that mean 'being good'?
[06:59] <marshall> hey guys
[06:59] <adri_> hi, i need help because of my graphic drivers
[06:59] <trappist> infidel: if by 'this version of ubuntu' you mean dapper, then yes
[06:59] <trappist> infidel: that is, if by 'repository' you mean the kubuntu.org repo
[06:59] <marshall> are there any web developers who wouldnt mind helping me fix some of my xhtml?
[06:59] <Paddy_EIRE> will edgy feature an easy option to enable/disable xgl
[06:59] <trappist> Spec: any other ideas?
[06:59] <AlexC> trappist, well .... I feel it will be better if I wait till it's released - other wise it would be sneaking downstairs at christmas to see your pressies
[06:59] <trappist> marshall: might try #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:59] <AlexC> =)
[06:59] <Spec> trappist: nope, can't think of any, sorry :-/
[06:59] <infidel> trappist: where can i fnd the urls
[07:00] <binary_goof1> how can i configure gxine to autoplay my VCD's? right now, totem pops up.
[07:00] <adri_> i have an nvidia but the hardware database tells that i have an ati
[07:00] <trappist> AlexC: feel better about installing it now, so you can help with bugs!
[07:00] <AlexC> marshall, Aye go on then, Im bored so
[07:00] <Spec> trappist: how many cdrom drives do you have?
[07:00] <adri_> heyyyy, any ubuntu guru for help?
[07:00] <AlexC> marshall, join me in #html
[07:00] <marshall> AlexC: ok
[07:00] <Crippy-Boy>  adri: Just ask your question and if anyone can answer they will
[07:01] <adri_> oks Crippy -Boy ;)
[07:01] <binary_goof1> how can i configure gxine to autoplay my VCD's? right now, totem pops up.
[07:01] <Spec> binary_goof1: not sure, check out gconf-editor perhaps
[07:01] <trappist> infidel: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-3.80.1.php
[07:01] <trappist> Spec: just the one
[07:01] <binary_goof1> spec: thanks.
[07:01] <Spec> trappist: i dunno then.....weird problem :-/, is it slaved to the primary harddrive? and do you have two ide controllers?
[07:02] <alex-weej> binary_goof1: System -> Prefs. -> Removable Drives And Media
[07:02] <disastorm> since i already installed method 2 of ati, if i switch over to method 1 it doesnt work. someone told me a command before to type in first that made it work but i dont remember it. how would i reset it to how it was before i installed any of the binary drivers?
[07:02] <adri_> i have an Nvidia but the ubuntu hardware database tells me that i have an ati, when any program changes my screen resolution, the sistem dies. What should i do?
[07:02] <trappist> Spec: two ide controllers, the cdrom is the secondary master.  secondary slave (hdd) works fine
[07:02] <Spec> try making the cdrom the secondary slave
[07:02] <binary_goof1> alex-weej: dat doesn't giv options for vcd. only dvd-video
[07:02] <Spec> if you haven't already
[07:03] <infidel> trappist: thanks
[07:03] <trappist> Spec: spose I could dig in there and move stuff around.  but the BIOS recognizes it, and I used it in its current configuration to install ubuntu.  so it seems like it's a software (kernel) issue.
 u where looking for me?
[07:05] <Darkprince> i'm trying to update my ATI firegl driver but i keep getting an error
[07:05] <Darkprince> [Message]  Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.

[07:05] <Darkprince> [Error]  Kernel Module : No kernel module build environment - please consult readme.
[07:05] <Spec> trappist: the only hit i saw on google that had a similar problem to yours however, the solution was to swap his (2) cdrom/dvdrom drives
[07:05] <Spec> trappist: so...i dunno, i'm kinda doubtful, but it's worth a shot :p
[07:05] <Darkprince> any ideas?

[07:19] <TSP_X> i don't have any manual or jelp
[07:19] <TSP_X>  :(
[07:19] <TSP_X> help*
[07:19] <backlit> mailcap is a slightly old-school way of finding out the mime types for files
[07:19] <fyrestrtr> TSP_X: its *mailcap* not malicap
[07:19] <TSP_X> Lol
[07:19] <TSP_X> me hyper stoopid
[07:20] <ompaul> !enter
[07:20] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[07:20] <Adam> hey
[07:21] <TSP_X> Well i can comment out those line
[07:21] <liran_> any idea if fglrx has support for svideo out yet?
[07:21] <Adam> My network adapter has a DHCP address looks like its sending and reciving data when using ifconfig to view it but I cannot ping, trace or even accsess any network resource?
[07:21] <TSP_X> they are ignored at least i don't have to see this msn
[07:21] <fyrestrtr> Adam: sounds like you have dns problems
[07:21] <fyrestrtr> Adam: check /etc/resolv.conf
[07:21] <GaiaX11> TSP_X: I did ssh myusername@myIP   and typed my passw 3 times and It did not accepted! Why?
[07:22] <backlit> Adam: if you can't ping anything on your network, it's not dns
[07:22] <TSP_X> seems like a remote pc problem
[07:22] <Adam> its physically connected and ifconfig looks like its sending data so Im not shure
[07:22] <fyrestrtr> Adam: are you on dapper or edgy?
[07:22] <Adam> It has got a dhcp address
[07:22] <ompaul> GaiaX11, have you installed "openssh-server" on the machine you are trying to log into?
[07:23] <backlit> Adam: can you pull up a website by IP?
[07:23] <Adam> 6.06
[07:23] <Adam> dapper I think
[07:23] <Adam> nope
[07:23] <lostinc> is there a SE version of ubuntu?
[07:23] <M_A_K> Ok, I am tired of fighting with ghost 2003.  I was reading about dd for linux.  Am I correct that all I need to do to clone a drive is "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb" ?
[07:23] <TSP_X> SE?
[07:23] <GaiaX11> ompaul: It is my own machine that I am trying to access :-)
[07:23] <lostinc> Security Enhanced
[07:24] <TSP_X> nubuntu?
[07:24] <backlit> GaiaX11: ssh <name>@localhost
[07:24] <Adam> I have a local webserver http://<IP_ADDRESS> and its not even getting that
[07:24] <Jack_Sparrow> M_A_K: There is also G4L ghost for linux  bootable cd freeware
[07:24] <wolfeySI> hello does anyone know what to do to install tvtime under ubuntu?
[07:24] <ompaul> GaiaX11, it still needs to run the server
[07:24] <M_A_K> I did not have luck with it last spring.
[07:24] <reitzell> I have tvtime working
[07:25] <nich0s> Does anyone have any experience installing GnuPG on Ubuntu or could tell me what I need to do?
[07:25] <Adam> But ifconfig reports it has got a DHCP address and the DHCP server here is centos so I can see it getting the address when looking via ssh on the dhcp server
[07:25] <reitzell> all I did was sudo apt-get install tvtime
[07:25] <wolfeySI> reitzell: does it need extra repositiories ?
[07:25] <M_A_K> Jack_Sparrow : As I recall, it did not seem to like my SATA drives.
[07:25] <reitzell> I just used the standard ones (I turned them all on)
[07:25] <Jack_Sparrow> M_A_K: Are those set as raid or std sata?
[07:25] <M_A_K> standart
[07:26] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[07:26] <M_A_K> *standard
[07:26] <M_A_K> 1 drive per box
[07:26] <GaiaX11> backlit: It worked. But why it did not work with my external IP?
[07:26] <wolfeySI> reitzell: i see ok
[07:26] <M_A_K> I have a lab and built 1 machine and need to clone that for the other workstations.
[07:26] <M_A_K> Not having much luck.
[07:27] <backlit> GaiaX11: do you have a router? if you have a router, many will not let you talk to the external IP from an internal one
[07:27] <M_A_K> The clone seemed to work, but now having trouble changing hostnames and ip configs for adapters etc.  PITA
[07:27] <backlit> GaiaX11: also, you may have been connecting a totally different machine :)
[07:28] <TSP_X> Anyone using gnome 2.16 in dapper?
[07:28] <ratbert90> I have an odd problem.  I installed the ATI fglrx drivers for my 9800 pro, and they work, untill I reboot,  then they revert back to mesa
[07:28] <trakz> I'm wondering if anyone can offer some guidance on printing to a Windows 2003 print server. I know, I know M$ sux, and I'm working from within to migrate to *nix but until I can print to a windows print share I'm kinda screwed. Can anyone suggest a good howto? (nothing on the forums seems to work).
[07:28] <ratbert90> how on earth do I fix this?
[07:28] <Joenin> don't know
[07:28] <GaiaX11> backlit: I connect to the net through a net company. I mean through their server
[07:29] <Subhuman> ratbert90, umm run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and choose the correct driver
[07:29] <fyrestrtr> trakz: system > adminsitration > printing -- double click on add printer, then choose network printer, then choose samba printer from the drop down, add your login information, and your printers will show up. Its pretty self explanatory from there.
[07:29] <P4W3R> hello
[07:29] <ratbert90> Subhuman, but why does it revert back to mesa every time I reboot after I get fglrx working?
[07:29] <greyscale> quiet- you still there? Your advice has been pushed off the screen
[07:29] <P4W3R> some help here
[07:29] <GaiaX11> backlit: Which is in my city about 8 km away from me
[07:30] <backlit> GaiaX11: it could be any number of things, I'd need to know more about your setup, but for most purposes, you can always connect to your own computer by using "localhost" or <IP_ADDRESS> instead of a "real address"
[07:30] <Subhuman> ratbert90, must be in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, see if the driver is set to mesa in there
[07:30] <ratbert90> Subhuman: it says it's set to fglrx
[07:30] <P4W3R> how to apply a dapper .diff file to a .orig source tree
[07:30] <P4W3R> ?
[07:30] <Adam> any one got any ideas to my network problem?
[07:30] <greyscale> if I knew what it was >>;
[07:31] <backlit> Adam: sorry, it makes little sense to me
[07:31] <trakz> fyrestrtr: doesn't seem to work unless your a member of the domain. Can't anonymous clients print to windows 2K3 shared printer?
[07:31] <Kaahane> What was the command, what is used to xorg.conf for set up resolutions wery easily!?
[07:31] <ratbert90> hrm, it seems like the conf file added the ati driver  by itself?
[07:31] <backlit> Adam: i was going to suggest lsmod and the like, but if you have an IP via DHCP it beats me
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> trakz: did you add the pc to the domain?
[07:31] <ratbert90> it has two sections now,  aticonfig and ati technologies
[07:31] <Subhuman> ratbert90, it should of. how do you know its using the mesa driver?
[07:31] <greyscale> quiet! You still therE?
[07:31] <Kaahane> me?
[07:31] <ratbert90> Subhuman: fglrxinfo
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> trakz: you can use samba to add your pc to the domain (it involves a bit of setup). Then you should be able to print.
[07:32] <Adam> well ifconfig reports it has an IP address that it got via DHCP. So the hardware must be up as ifconfig also reports its been sending and getting data. But I cannot accsess any network resource or any local ip address or any local webservers so its like its not even on the network.
[07:32] <Subhuman> fyrestrtr, can you do it the other way around ( make a cups printer on your machine visible to a windows network) ?
[07:32] <ratbert90> Subhuman: I will reboot, I think I just fixed it.  What a pain.  I wish I had a nvidia card =[
[07:32] <Subhuman> ratbert90,  < - happy nvidia user :P
[07:32] <trakz> fyrestrtr: Thanks, I was hopeful someone had figured out a way to print without doing that.
[07:32] <fyrestrtr> Subhuman: yes, you can do it that way too.
[07:33] <backlit> Adam: just a thought, but what does "sudo iptables -L" say?
[07:33] <Paddy_EIRE> what is everyones opinion of opensuse? I am very sure that Ubuntu is cemented to my primary comp and want to try another distro
[07:33] <stefan_> hello
[07:33] <fyrestrtr> trakz: enable guest printing in your windows machine, and browse the workgroup.
[07:33] <Paddy_EIRE> on my testing comp
[07:33] <Subhuman> fyrestrtr, nice, ive never shared this printer since i didnt know how hard it was to do (or even possible), ill look into it, thanks.

[07:34] <GaiaX11> backlit: Say that I am in another city, can I use ssh to connect to my machine through my external IP? Do I need to ask permission to that server administrator to do that?
[07:34] <nich0s> erUSUL: You may have won this battle... :P
[07:34] <ArgentinoVLC> ok thanks!
[07:34] <nich0s> de nada
[07:34] <Subhuman> GaiaX11, no you should be able to.

[07:34] <erUSUL> nich0s: lol XD
[07:34] <backlit> GaiaX11: it depends. if you connect your computer directly to DSL or a cable modem, then you almost certainly can
[07:34] <Adam> there are 3 rules setup in ip tables erm could take some typing into here because I dont have a pastebin. Lets see if remote ssh works
[07:35] <Adam> pinging the box remotley I get nothing
[07:35] <backlit> Adam: pastebin link is at in the channel topic
[07:35] <Adam> I dont have internet accsess on the box as its a network issue
[07:35] <backlit> GaiaX11: if your computer is connected to a home router, you will need to set up port forwarding
[07:35] <trakz> fyrestrtr: Yup tried that! But it appears on a shitty Win2K3 domain M$ still looks for some type of authentication (cifs?).
[07:36] <GaiaX11> backlit: I connect to the net through a wireless card rt8180 and an aerial
[07:36] <backlit> GaiaX11: and if you are in a corporate setting, you will def need to ask a sys admin
[07:36] <GaiaX11> backlit: I am not. I am at home
[07:37] <nich0s> GaiaX11: Yeah... we're going to need you go go ahead and call your sysadmin... That would be great.
[07:37] <fyrestrtr> trakz: you need to to add your computer to the domain
[07:37] <backlit> lol
[07:37] <trakz> fyrestrtr: Noooooooooooo :-)
[07:37] <GaiaX11> backlit: this is a standalone machine
[07:37] <backlit> GaiaX11: forgive my stupidity, but is the rt8180 standard wifi or is it more "mobile broadband"?

[07:40] <P4W3R> when you have done man <thing>
[07:40] <backlit> GaiaX11: what i mean is, does it only work in your house, or does it work anywhere (eg on the road)?
[07:40] <erUSUL> P4W3R: man less (is the pager used to see man pages)
[07:40] <fyrestrtr> 2.6.15-26-686

[07:42] <sioux> Hey surround 5.1 works with ubuntu?
[07:42] <trakz> Adam: Subnet mask correct?
[07:42] <backlit> Flatline-kun: apt-get install kernel-package
[07:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Adam:  <IP_ADDRESS> in browser dosnt bring up google?
[07:42] <backlit> GaiaX11: that doesn't help me understand, but i'd willing to bet you have a router
[07:43] <Adam> nope
[07:43] <Flatline-kun> backlit: so it's basically the same as a Debian distro...as far as the kernel goes?
[07:43] <Adam> just get a firefox page saying unable to connect
[07:44] <backlit> Flatline-kun: yes, Ubuntu is Debian the policies and layout of /etc differ quite a bit though
[07:44] <GaiaX11> backlit: If I can call the server in my internet provider a router. So I do have a router
[07:44] <backlit> GaiaX11: home routers are all different, but check out http://www.portforward.com/ for great how-tos on how to forward ports

[07:52] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11
[07:52] <Crippy-Boy> You cant just use your internal ip if your not on the network, Youd have to use the external ip
[07:53] <backlit> GayaX11: sorry "ifconfig" on linux "ipconfig" is for windows
[07:53] <backlit> GayaX11: from outside your home network, you can't connect to your local machine until you set up port forwarding on your router, and one you do, you have to use the external address
[07:55] <ratbert90> why does ati hate me so much?  Did I drink the blood of puppies?
[07:55] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: so it would be like this: ssh myusername@myExternalIP ? Am I right now?
[07:55] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: Yes, But you'll need to forward what ever port ssh server is running on
[07:55] <backlit> ratbert90: ati hates everyone universally
[07:56] <mfonda> does ubuntu not have ipconfig?

[07:56] <ratbert90> backlit: how is it possible that I have selected fglrx as the driver to use in xorg.conf,  xorg BOOTs, but fglrx in lsmod is listed as unused?
[07:57] <nataraj_> are there any steps i can skip while booting, like fs-check, to boot faster?
[07:57] <backlit> ratbert90: lsmod is wierd like that. i have glx working fine with the nvidia driver, but lsmod shows nvidia module as unused too
[07:57] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: I can't do that because the router is a server in my internet company provider. I think that only the sysadmin can do that
[07:57] <P4W3R> bye thx
[07:58] <Cosmo-san> how easy can channel bonding be done?
[07:58] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: Am I right?
[07:58] <M_A_K> Jack_Sparrow : I just tried to use dd to clone a disk.  I booted from a Ubuntu 6.0.6 CD and it only recognized 1 of my SATA drives.
[07:58] <ratbert90> backlit: If I had a nvidia card, it would help.  I have done a few patches for them before back in the 2.5 kernel days

[07:59] <Jamminpotato> backlit, i have some issues with it
[07:59] <dug> anyone successfully installed ubuntu on an emachines desktop?  could you tell me the model or point to online help with it? thanks
[07:59] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: So I have to do this in my own machine?
[07:59] <Crippy-Boy> Why not just use a native bit torrent client.
[07:59] <Jamminpotato> Crippy-Boy, name one as featureful and good as utorrent
[08:00] <M_A_K> Can someone give me some guidance on cloning SATA drives?  I installed and configured 1 machine and need to get the others up and running so I can teach my class.  I have wasted 2 days and have gotten nowhere.
[08:00] <backlit> Jamminpotato: isn't utorrent open source? (i prefer curses-based p2p apps)
[08:00] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: You have multiple computers in your house?
[08:00] <Crippy-Boy> Jamminpotato: Azureus?
[08:00] <backlit> utorrent is very good though
[08:00] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: No. Only one
[08:00] <Jamminpotato> Crippy-Boy, azureus is bloated and slow
[08:00] <Jamminpotato> backlit, no unfortaanetly its closed source
[08:00] <erUSUL> Jamminpotato: utorrrent works wonderfully here on wine
[08:00] <backlit> Azureus is a 30,000 pound gorrilla, uTorrent is a hot 14 year old ninja
[08:01] <erUSUL> Jamminpotato: i use the stanalone exec with the lastest wine
[08:01] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: So ...
[08:01] <trakz> Adam: When I run ifconfig I have: eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:15:C5:37:35:F8
[08:01] <trakz>           inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>
[08:01] <trakz> what do you get?
[08:01] <Neo8750> btdownloadgui ??
[08:01] <Neo8750> =)
[08:01] <bsdfox> who can advise me on a good program that I can setup to use the 10/100 connection on my laptop when it's plugged in and the wifi when it's unplugged? right now I always have to add routes and set dns/ip stuff to switch and it's a pain. I have network manager that does a good job with the wifi for the most part.. I just need something to disable that and setup the wired, then the opposite..
[08:02] <Jamminpotato> erUSUL, myne is just not cooperating for some reason, plus i would prefer a ntive one
[08:02] <backlit> bsdfox: Mac OS X? (kidding)
[08:02] <nataraj_> why is ubuntu not asking me for password while cut/pasting some files to say the /usr dir.? of course it doesn't allow me to copy them
[08:02] <nataraj_> so i am forced to use the terminal
[08:02] <Adam> etho Link encap:ethernet HWaddr HERE inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS> Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS> Mask:<IP_ADDRESS> etc
[08:02] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: So how to forward that port (22)?
[08:02] <sid> When I try to remove evolution, it tries to remove Ubuntu-desktop
[08:03] <backlit> GaiaX11: http://www.portforward.com/
[08:03] <sid> I don't use non-web-based mail clients.
[08:03] <sid> How do I get rid of Evolution?
[08:03] <augi01> sudo apt-get remove evolution?
[08:03] <trakz> Adam: Your broadcast and inet addresses match. That's not correct. What's your default gateway set to?
[08:03] <backlit> sid: evolution is part of ubuntu-desktop, if you want to get rid of it, you have to remove ubuntu-desktop and keep all of its dependencies installed, then you can remove evolution
[08:04] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: Are you sure you have a router?
[08:04] <backlit> sid: although it's still not a great idea, gnome depends on lots of evolution's pieces
[08:04] <bsdfox> there really isn't a good app for that?
[08:04] <sid> evolution is crappy, heh
[08:04] <eigenlambda> lol ya rly
[08:05] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: I do not know. I have a single machine here in my house. Only this.
[08:05] <sid> If you're going to force people to use a mail client(which I doubt more then 30% of users use it) then at least go with thunderbird.
[08:05] <sid> damn gnomers
[08:05] <eigenlambda> i want metacity to replace compiz.  compiz is going totally non-gconf.
[08:05] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: when you ifconfig what do you get under inet addr (Dont paste all of it)
[08:06] <sid> I guess I'll just remove it from the menus and pretend it's not there.
[08:06] <Adam> I dont know about defualt gateway how can I check?
[08:06] <optimusprime> can I open .zip files in Dapper?
[08:06] <eigenlambda> optimusprime: yup!
[08:06] <trakz> Adam: System -> Administration -> Networking
[08:06] <eigenlambda> just double-click
[08:06] <backlit> sid: agreed 100%
[08:06] <optimusprime> do I need to download something?...
[08:06] <eigenlambda> or, type 'unzip foo' in the command line or something
[08:06] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: 10. (...)
[08:06] <Adam> that does not hold the settings
[08:06] <trakz> Adam: Click on your connection, then properties
[08:06] <eigenlambda> no, you already have file-roller
[08:07] <backlit> bsdfox: apt-cache search ifscheme
[08:07] <Adam> can I do it from command?
[08:07] <optimusprime> ok.
[08:07] <backlit> basfox: doesn't look like a gui tool, but it might do what you want
[08:07] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: hmm. you might be right :-/. Try and get someone you trust to connect to ssh, If it doesnt work you could always set it to run on a port like 443 that wont be blocked
[08:07] <backlit> bsdfox: also "ifplugd" might help automate it
[08:08] <trakz> Adam: route add default gw net_gate
[08:09] <Adam> which part of that do I replace with the gateway IP address?
[08:09] <dug> anyone get ubuntu installed on an emachines desktop?  just curious
[08:10] <Howitzer> Hi, i'd like to learn how to edit a font.. (i have this font that doesn't have , , ,... characters which i'd like to edit)
[08:10] <earthian> hello
[08:10] <grodius> how do you run wine?
[08:10] <Howitzer> do wine in a terminal :D
[08:10] <grodius> I am
[08:10] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: I already tried to access this machine with ssh myusername@myInternalIP from outside here and I could not.
[08:10] <earthian> grodius, #winehq
[08:10] <earthian> or wine /path/to/your/program.exe
[08:11] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: From where
[08:11] <trakz> Adam: So for you (this is a guess) it's probably: $ route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> gw <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth0
[08:11] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: And did it work?
[08:11] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: From my friend's house
[08:11] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: I didn't
[08:12] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: Ok, Try running the ssh server on port 443
[08:12] <backlit> trakz: why on earth would ifconfig not add that route when bringing the interface up?
[08:12] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: How?
[08:12] <Adam> that gives an error network is unreacable
[08:12] <qsrv> hi
[08:12] <haffe> 'lo
[08:13] <dug> anyone wanna buy an emachines desktop :)
[08:13] <trakz>  backlit: normally it would.
[08:13] <Brkopac> Hey Guys, I seem to be having problems with my sound, it's coming out of my headset yet it sets to come out of my speakers
[08:13] <haffe> I have a question. I have a shuttle XPC with an nforce2 motherboard. Is hibernate supported on this machine?
[08:13] <vaginal> im trying to install dapper but when i press Start/install ubuntu it freezes and says something similar to PCI: Cannot allocate resource
[08:13] <vaginal> any ideas?
[08:13] <qsrv> is there a way to check if dbus is functioning ok? I think it's causing me problems with the power manager applet (it's not showing the present state) and network manager - it no longer trys to connect to the net
[08:13] <backlit> Adam: is this in a corporate network? it's starting to sound like there is some sort of filtering that is keeping your machine in a "dmz" vlan, like CleanAccess or something
[08:14] <trakz> Adam: $ route
[08:14] <trakz> Do you have a default destination?
[08:14] <fyrestrtr> vaginal: are you on a laptop?
[08:14] <vaginal> fyrestrt1 nope desktop
[08:14] <fyrestrtr> vaginal: try the alternate install cd.
[08:14] <vaginal> ah ok
[08:14] <backlit> vaginal: some say your name is "highly vaginal"
[08:15] <bilss_> hi
[08:15] <vaginal> indeed it is
[08:15] <bsdfox> I need compiz-plugins_0.20-0ubuntu1_i386.deb if anyone can host it for me
[08:16] <bsdfox> the server keeps erroring out on this one file
[08:16] <alekz> What has happened is, i tried installing ubuntu and it goes to the stage passed the unzipping or uncompressing something like that but then it just starts listing errors e.g [162.9876]  I/o error...., something here and then some other numbers.. is this meant to occur? whats happened if its not?
[08:16] <Adam>  $ route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> gw <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth0 gives network is uncreachable as an error
[08:16] <backlit> bsdfox: did you see my messages about the "location manager" tools you were looking for?
[08:16] <haffe> alekz: Sounds like your cd is defect.
[08:17] <bsdfox> backlit, yes thanks I am checking them out right now
[08:17] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config change the port line and restart ssh
[08:17] <dug> vaginal: others have had that problem, i haven't seen a fix for it yet
[08:17] <enyc> Adam: that means your machine does not have an implicit route to <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:17] <alekz> ok i'll burn it again haffe thanks
[08:17] <backlit> bsdfox: k cool, let me know if they are worthwhile, i still have to convert my ibook to ubuntu
[08:17] <enyc> Adam: err also that doesnt make sense
[08:17] <trakz> Adam: Just run the command "route" (nothing else). This will display all your currently configured IP routes. Is there a default one?
[08:18] <enyc> Adam: route to <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> is trying to crate a route for 0.0.0.* which doesnt make sense
[08:18] <Adam> no routes
[08:18] <enyc> Adam: I think you want 'route add default gw (gateway address)'
[08:18] <enyc> Adam: It might be 'route add -net default gw (gateway address)'
[08:18] <bilss_> this is slightly off topic but i have received some mail from a mac user which is all in hex 4.0 how to decode?
[08:18] <afm\colossus> in what package will i find the tool `strings`?
[08:19] <trakz> Adam: enyc is correct. Run that....
[08:19] <Roman123> Hi! How can I install Ubuntu on a software raid (1). It seems like the installer does not offer such an option. At older versions (prior 6.06), there was a text mode (expert mode) which provided this option.
[08:19] <backlit> afm\colossus: binutils
[08:19] <Adam> still says network is unreacahanle if I run route add -net default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:19] <afm\colossus> thx
[08:19] <enyc> Adam: however.. BEFORe you can add a default route... you need an address on the relevant network ;-)
[08:19] <Adam> it has a DHCP address
[08:19] <trakz> Adam: You 100% sure all your physical connections are good?
[08:19] <backlit> Roman123: alternate install cd *might* work
[08:20] <enyc> Adam: then it will pick up IP adrenss and gateway automatically usually
[08:20] <Adam> how can I flush it to get the address again?
[08:20] <Roman123> backlit: ah, ok. The "desktop" version does not offer this option?
[08:20] <Roman123> right?
[08:20] <enyc> Adam: 'sudo ifdown eth0'
[08:20] <enyc> Adam: then 'sudo ifup eth0'  to try again ;-)
[08:21] <Adam> says eth0 not configured
[08:21] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: Thanks for the help
[08:21] <backlit> Roman123: the "desktop" version is a livecd with no text-based installer, the alternate cd has all the tools you expect in a Debian-based installer
[08:21] <enyc> right... it wasnt up... ok
[08:21] <Crippy-Boy> GaiaX11: No problems, It work?
[08:21] <enyc> Adam: so.. ifup ...
[08:21] <enyc> Adam: what happens then ;-)
[08:21] <ax> anyone know how i can install ubuntu if i don't have a cdrom drive [but i do have a 1G usb flash disk]
[08:21] <Adam> failed to bring up eth0
[08:22] <enyc> Adam: right.. so there is a problem somewhere
[08:22] <bsdfox> backlit, will do
[08:22] <enyc> Adam: what else does it say exactly?
[08:22] <Adam> SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachanle Faield to bring up eth0
[08:23] <enyc> Adam: hrrm... sounds almost like the  network cable is unplugged or something
[08:23] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: It works with the internal IP on port 22
[08:23] <backlit> Adam: this sounds like a hardware problem, do you know exactly what kind of NIC you have?
[08:23] <enyc> Adam: or the DHCP server is not answering ;-)
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> !installation > ax
[08:23] <trakz> enyc: Did I not just say that?! ;-)
[08:23] <GaiaX11> Crippy-Boy: Now I have to test from another place
[08:23] <enyc> trakz: ??that\?\!??
[08:24] <Neo8750> !installation > neeja
[08:24] <Adam> eyc: the DHCP server is in product thats working Im watching the other 6 stations use it at the moment as thats on a server so I have a SSH session open to it to monitor it
[08:24] <Neo8750> !installation > Neo8750
[08:24] <Adam> *production
[08:24] <Neo8750> sry neeja
[08:24] <Adam> Its a Shuttle XPC barebones
[08:24] <backlit> enyc: if DHCP server wasn't answering, you would see DHCP requests going out, but not being answered when you tried "ifup"
[08:24] <Adam> erm NIC hang on
[08:24] <enyc> backlit: hrrm
[08:24] <ax> fyrestrtr: thankx
[08:24] <enyc> Adam: you can use 'lspci' to (most likely) list your ethernet card
[08:24] <wthww> hello
[08:24] <fyrestrtr> Adam: still haven't got it sorted out I see :)
[08:25] <Adam> Broadcom NetExtreme BCM5751
[08:25] <enyc> bleurgh
[08:26] <backlit> Adam: that brings back memories... i seem to remember having all kinds of problems with that controller back when i was a Windows admin
[08:26] <Adam> I will do a google and see if there is anything
[08:27] <backlit> Adam: i wound up having to recompile the dos network driver to get it to work with Ghost
[08:27] <backlit> Adam: and there of the ghosted machines never came back up...
[08:27] <davidOmatic> Hey
[08:27] <backlit> s/there/three
[08:27] <davidOmatic> I'm troubleshooting a samba install on mixed ubuntu dapper/breezy network
[08:28] <enyc> backlit: erm looks that the BCM5171 uses a nson-free driver firmware ....
[08:28] <davidOmatic> For some reason while using smbtree i can get the listing of shares, nautilus asks for a password to give me the hosts list
[08:28] <enyc> Adam: looks like the BCM5171 uses a non-free driver firmware
[08:28] <Adam> shit
[08:29] <davidOmatic> any ideas?
[08:29] <redloff> hi, what are the "proper initialisation codes for printing the PC-DOS character set" mentioned in http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/dosemu.html?
[08:29] <Adam> so any ideas if it will work with ubuntu?
[08:29] <redloff> I have no idea, where to get them, nor how to install them
[08:29] <backlit> Adam: if you can get the firmware for it, and the kernel supports it, you can certainly get it to work
[08:30] <backlit> Adam: but is it worth that much trouble when you can slap a $5 NIC in a free PCI slot?
[08:30] <enyc> Adam: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=206106
[08:30] <enyc> backlit: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=206106
[08:31] <Adam> it has 1 pci slot and its in use
[08:31] <h8train> !installation > h8train
[08:31] <backlit> Adam: check out that forum post, it might not be as hard as all that
[08:32] <backlit> enyc: it sounds almost _too_ easy :)
[08:32] <Fuzzy> hello ive got a problem
[08:33] <Fuzzy> i have a radeon 9600 and when i fglrxinfo i get Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[08:33] <Adam> "In kernel 2.6.12-9 I used the tg3 module and it worked great" Im tempted to downgrade!
[08:33] <Fuzzy> im missing some drivers i think
[08:33] <enyc> Adam: backlit: lol... I had a miniq (similar to shuttle)  onboard ethernet die after lightning.... and had to install a NIC in the single PCI slot.. which meant removing the  protentd-modem-thing and using a real modem on com port... and sehtting all that up....
[08:33] <backlit> Fuzzy: does your xorg.conf contain a line that says: Module "dri"
[08:34] <Farrier> Question: How do I upgrade or remove a package that apt-get only half-recignizes? Updated from breezy to dapper, and now apt-get install says "automatrix is already the newest version". apt-get remove says "couldn't find package automatrix", and apt-get upgrade does nothing. Running automatrix says "this version ... does not work on Dapper".
[08:35] <fyrestrtr> Farrier: #automatix for that stuff.
[08:35] <Fuzzy> yes it does backlit
[08:35] <Adam> right so its worth me trying the driver from broadcoms website?
[08:35] <Farrier> Sorry, fyrestrtr: thought it was an apt-get bug, not an automatix bug.
[08:35] <backlit> Fuzzy: that's my best guess, I'm using nvidia... sorry
[08:35] <enyc> Adam: if you know how to make it work againt your kernel source ared rebuild the moidule.. then that is very worth doing ;-)
[08:36] <backlit> Farrier: man apt-get
[08:36] <backlit> Farrier: check out the --force options
[08:36] <enyc> Adam: you will need build-essontiall and kernel headers and soforth iirc
[08:36] <Fuzzy> ... im using ati drivers ..
[08:36] <Farrier> backlit: thanks, will do! :)
[08:36] <TheCobra> hi
[08:36] <Adam> http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/faq_drivers.php#tg3
[08:36] <Fuzzy> atleast i SHOULD be lol
[08:37] <Adam> I really dont feel like doing that
[08:37] <TheCobra> can anybody tells me how I can de-install my ATI drivers?
[08:37] <Bret1> Hi, i'm having problems with my dual monitors. I'm running draper release 6.06. Two hp vf17 monitors (LCD), integrated SiS video, and nvidia video card.. I can't get the correct resolution on my second monitor (SiS one).  It looks like its something like 800x600 or so.  Please help :).
[08:37] <Adam> how do I find my kernel version?
[08:37] <IndyBC> How do I see my IP?
[08:37] <IndyBC> Adam: uname -a
[08:38] <Fuzzy> i got dual monitor to work
[08:38] <Fuzzy> but with a radeon 9600
[08:38] <Bret1> do you know how to configure the xorg.conf?
[08:38] <IndyBC> So, what is the command similar to windows' ipconfig?
[08:38] <Adam> ifconfig
[08:38] <IndyBC> Adam: ok
[08:38] <IndyBC> Adam: we answered each other :)
[08:39] <Adam> this might not be so bad afterall http://www.mike-devlin.com/linux/driver.htm
[08:40] <Fuzzy> Bretl: uhm well first of all u need 2 of everything 2 video adapters 2 monitors
[08:40] <woodbase> hi people
[08:40] <Bret1> Fuzzy: yea, i have that all setup.. i had my dual monitors working both on 1280x1024 using xp
[08:41] <russ_> anyone willing to help getting dual monitors set up....???....
[08:42] <Fuzzy> i used some guide actually.... that seemed to work out
[08:42] <Bret1> russ_: yea i'm trying to do the same thing... research xorg.conf file a bit. u need to set it up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:42] <Bret1> Fuzzy: yea, i used a guide, but can't get the right resolution

[08:43] <Fuzzy> oh? i didnt have a problem with that
[08:43] <Bret1> Fuzzy: they work, but its an awfully big res on the second monitor. I'm thinkin it may be a problem with the built in SiS driver
[08:43] <woodbase> anybody who knows anything about libgda?
[08:44] <Fuzzy> Bret1: could be... im not sure i can help you much tho...

[08:49] <backlit> Gibbster: always try cups first, it acts as a front end to smb and lpd if needed
[08:50] <vorbote> Peaceful: edubuntu does it ootb.
[08:50] <Farrier> Q: How to upgrade/remove a package that apt-get only half-recognizes? "apt-get install" says "already the newest version"; "remove"/"install --reinstall" say "couldn't find package"; "upgrade"/"upgrade --reinstall" say "0 upgraded"; --force-yes doesn't help.
[08:50] <Gibbster> backlit: hmmm. doesn't list my printer
[08:50] <Homer> rixxon, I'll try that out
[08:50] <gorski> can i resize my fat32 partition?
[08:50] <rixxon> Homer: although backlit's suggestion is probably better for you in this specific situation
[08:50] <gorski> using gparted?
[08:51] <Peaceful> vorbote: ok, I'll try that first.
[08:51] <Homer> is the UI for process information
[08:51] <Homer> is there*
[08:51] <magnet> gorski: no and no
[08:51] <backlit> Homer: yes, "killall" kills every process matching the given name
[08:51] <magnet> gorski: you can't resize a partition
[08:51] <Farrier> (yes, package is automatix; no, it's not an automatix problem, it's an apt-get one; no there is no activity in that channel anyway).
[08:51] <gorski> why?
[08:51] <Lysit> Anyone know of a fairly lightweight bittorrent client that'll support download from rss?
[08:51] <backlit> Gibbster: do you have "HP JetDirect" as an option in add printer?
[08:51] <magnet> gorski: because it's just no feasable; utils saying that they "resize" lie
[08:51] <Homer> no like a XWin UI for processes like alt-ctrl-del on windows
[08:52] <frojnd> can someone help me with fdisk
[08:52] <backlit> Homer: system -> administration -> system monitor
[08:52] <magnet> gorski: they copy the content elsewhere, then remove the part, then create another
[08:52] <covOPprometheus> hellow guys, I'm having trouble with 3ddesktop, apparentely there is no direct rendering, but app has worked on the very same session, can anyone help me to test if my graphics are configured as they should?
[08:52] <frojnd> I wanna to format NTFS partition
[08:52] <Gibbster> backlit: yes. should I try that?
[08:52] <backlit> Homer: (this is assuming you are using GNOME
[08:52] <frojnd> with fdisk
[08:52] <Homer> k
[08:52] <backlit> Gibbster: couldn't hurt, if it's a network printer
[08:52] <Bret1> cpope: i've gota restart my comp. i'll get back on when im done with these steps
[08:52] <gorski> aha
[08:52] <midgetg0a1> heya - what software would I use to view my windows desktop via ubuntu - something similar to Remote desktop?
[08:52] <Neo8750> vnc
[08:53] <midgetg0a1> ty.
[08:53] <Lysit> For windows? Tightbnc server will do
[08:53] <Farrier> Alternative Q: where does apt-get store its list of "installed packages", and how do I remove an item from there?
[08:53] <Lysit> *Tightvnc
[08:53] <cpope> Q: I'm using edgy, what kernel should I use for SMP? Synaptic says linux-686-smp is obsoleted by linux-image-generic, which I have installed but it doesn't see my proc as dualcore
[08:53] <midgetg0a1> oh, i need to setup a server on the windows box?
[08:53] <midgetg0a1> nothing connects native to the RDC service?
[08:53] <backlit> midgetg0a1: man rdesktop
[08:53] <Lysit> The windows RDC?
[08:53] <davidOmatic> how do i tell which ubuntu version the machine is running?
[08:54] <midgetg0a1> well, thast what i call it, remote desktop service.
[08:54] <backlit> rdesktop is a client for Microsoft Remote Desktop
[08:54] <backlit> (aka terminal services)
[08:54] <midgetg0a1> excellent, thanks backlit - i'll give it a read.
[08:54] <Lysit> The one built into windows never wnats to work for me, so I installed tightvnc server instead
[08:54] <midgetg0a1> right, thats what i meant, terminal services
[08:54] <midgetg0a1> gonna try now.
[08:55] <DShepherd> !fonts > DShepherd
[08:55] <robin_sz> hi girls ... over the years I have put up with the hoops i have to jump through to install Java on debian. Is it any different ie easier on Ubuntu?
[08:55] <Lysit> Hi girls?
[08:55] <Lysit> Thats a bit hopeful
[08:55] <robin_sz> well, I live in hope.
[08:55] <Farrier> If nobody has any better suggestions, I'm gonna try "rm -rF `locate PKGNAME`" and see if apt-get starts to work then.
[08:55] <midgetg0a1> beautiful, worked no problem - thanks a lot backlit
[08:56] <backlit> midget0a1: Remote Desktop Client is a gui front end for both rdesktop and vnc, if you want a non-comnmand-line version
[08:56] <backlit> midget0a1: np, glad to be off help :)
[08:56] <vorbote> Farrier: try with "aptitude reinstall"
[08:56] <midgetg0a1> well, im thinking i'll just create a launcher for rdesktop.
[08:56] <cowbud> Farrier: what package are you trying to upgrade?
[08:56] <gnomefreak> robin_sz: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre too many hoops for you?
[08:57] <backlit> simplest is best
[08:57] <Fuzzy> ive downloaded XFree86 ATI drivers (fglrx_4_3_0-8.28.8-1.i386.rpm) but how do i install them?
[08:57] <robin_sz> gnomefreak, sounds easy enough ... somewhat easier than im used to!
[08:57] <Fuzzy> btw sry for being noob lolol
[08:57] <Gibbster> backlit:hmm... My real trouble is that I know nothing. I don't know the port, smb name or password, etc. Windows hid all that stuff from me!
[08:57] <gnomefreak> robin_sz: make sure multiverse repo is enabled and go for it
[08:58] <gnomefreak> robin_sz: sun-java5-plugin installs plugin -bin -jre
[08:58] <timshel> does anyone know where i can find a fafsa/finance help channel?
[08:58] <robin_sz> "multiverse repo" ?
[08:58] <Gibbster> backlit: there's a debian driver on the lexmark webpage. Do you think that will work?
[08:58] <Fuzzy> ive downloaded XFree86 ATI drivers (fglrx_4_3_0-8.28.8-1.i386.rpm) but how do i install them?
[08:58] <HeMan> anyone who knows how Epiphany does it's mime-mapping?
[08:58] <Farrier> vorbote: almost worked, said "Couldn't lock list directory..are you root?" when I ran it as "sudo aptitude reinstall automatrix"
[08:59] <Farrier> cowbud: automatix"
[08:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Fuzzy: not a good choice
[08:59] <Fuzzy> orly?
[08:59] <Farrier> -r
[08:59] <Fuzzy> any better ideas?
[08:59] <robin_sz> hammers?
[08:59] <Fuzzy> ive got a radeon 9600
[08:59] <cowbud> Farrier: and when you do a dpkg --purge automatix what happens?
[08:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !fglrx > fuzzy
[09:00] <Fuzzy> well fuzzy@fuzzy-desktop:~/Desktop$ fglrxinfo
[09:00] <Fuzzy> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[09:00] <Fuzzy> so thats why im dling this
[09:00] <midgetg0a1> backlit: Any idea how i'd set window res? All i see is -f for fullscreen?
[09:01] <midgetg0a1> bah
[09:01] <midgetg0a1> nm
[09:01] <midgetg0a1> -g
[09:01] <covOPprometheus> can anyone help me activating direct rendering?
[09:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati > fuzzy
[09:01] <vorbote> Farrier: it means there is a runaway apt process somewhere. Need to review the output of "ps -feaw" and do a "kill -9" on anything that has apt in it (probably an apt-http process).
[09:01] <midgetg0a1> you running compiz covOPprometheus?
[09:01] <backlit> Gibbster: i would try eveything else before installing an "official" lexmark driver on your machine
[09:01] <Fuzzy> ok well.. try speaking in sentences
[09:01] <Farrier> cowbud: brilliant, thank you :) That command removed it from the apt-get and aptitude database, which is exactly what I needed. Thanks :)
[09:01] <Fuzzy> u might make more sence then
[09:01] <cowbud> Farrier: no problem
[09:01] <covOPprometheus> midgetg0a1, actually I have no idea :S how can I check that?
[09:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Fuzzy: did you try to follow the Ubotu instructions?
[09:02] <midgetg0a1> run compiz-start from terminal
[09:02] <backlit> Gibbster: basically you need to have the computer find the printer before you can tell it what driver it needs, and chances are the driver is already installed
[09:02] <Fuzzy> what ubutu instructions
[09:02] <midgetg0a1> the reason i ask is because when i'm in compiz/xgl session, direct render: no...
[09:02] <covOPprometheus> bash: compiz-start: command not found
[09:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Fuzzy: The ati instructions I linked to you
[09:02] <mjr> midgetg0a1, xgl doesn't do direct rendering
[09:02] <midgetg0a1> apparnetly that is just what it says. when i'm in a normal gnome session, it says yes...
[09:03] <midgetg0a1> right, thats what i'm trying to explain - but i do a horrible job no doubt.
[09:03] <Fuzzy> ohh lol
[09:03] <Fuzzy> i didnt notice
[09:03] <Fuzzy> XD
[09:03] <Farrier> vorbote: thanks :) Looks like whatever process it was is dead already, no *apt* processes running
[09:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Fuzzy: and the fglrx instructions I linked to you
[09:04] <vorbote> :-)
[09:04] <thomas> Hello, I am having some trouble setting up a cron job. I have two commands which I know work, both are excecutable, but cron will not run either of them. I have tried using crontab -e as well as gnome-schedule. Neither has worked. Can somebody help me solve this please?
[09:04] <Fuzzy> ill try both
[09:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Fuzzy: np ... There are easier wayt to do what you want without trying to Alien an RPM
[09:05] <Neo8750> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22935 <-- how can i fix this
[09:05] <sharp> i get /bin/sh: scripts/mod/modpost: No such file or directory while building ndiswrapper, somebody please help.
[09:05] <thomas> Neo8750: what are you trying to compile?

[09:06] <thomas> Neo8750: you know that is available via apt right?
[09:06] <Neo8750> not the rc1
[09:06] <sharp> Jack_Sparrow, Broadcom 4311
[09:07] <Jack_Sparrow> One sec
[09:07] <thomas> Neo8750: did you use --prefix=/usr ??
[09:07] <Neo8750> trying to install xfce4.4rc1 and thats where it failed
[09:07] <Neo8750> maybe it
[09:07] <Jack_Sparrow> sharp https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[09:07] <covOPprometheus> can anyone help me activating direct rendering?
[09:08] <sharp> Jack_Sparrow, ndiswrapper-utils is too old for this driver
[09:08] <nich0s> If anyone has a sony laptop, please make sure that you don't call in in regards to software that was never and will never be written for linux.   :P
[09:08] <covOPprometheus> has anyone some experience with Intel Media Accelerator 900 ?
[09:08] <Jack_Sparrow> sharp: People have followed that link and gotten that card running
[09:09] <thomas> covOPprometheus: just tell us what your problem is.
[09:09] <Jack_Sparrow> sharp: Just a suggestion..
[09:09] <covOPprometheus> hellow guys, I'm having trouble with 3ddesktop, apparentely there is no direct rendering, but app has worked on the very same session, can anyone help me to test if my graphics are configured as they should?
[09:09] <covOPprometheus> thomas, just read what I'm asking for some hours hehe ;)
[09:10] <Jack_Sparrow> bbl... Play nice
[09:10] <Jack_Sparrow> covOPprometheus: Have you tried glxgears -printfps
[09:10] <thomas> covOPprometheus: is your Xorg.conf file edited correctly to enable DRI?
[09:10] <Linuh>
[09:10] <Linuh>
[09:11] <covOPprometheus> thomas, how would it be correctly? I'm new to this
[09:11] <Linuh>    .
[09:11] <Linuh> ?

[09:11] <ubotu> Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke. Russian users please try #ubuntu-ru, there you may get more help
[09:12] <covOPprometheus> Jack_Sparrow, it's sticky as hell now, but I could swear it worked before :S
[09:12] <covOPprometheus> Jack_Sparrow, direct rendering is not enabled now
[09:12] <Fuzzy> Jack_Sparrow:  when i do sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname-r) it says bash: uname-r: command not found
[09:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Wife is giving me that look.. Sorry but I must go...
[09:12] <davin> Hi, im sort of a linux noob, Im trying to copy '/' to a usb harddisk as backup because I want to try out Xgl/Compiz, can I just safely use 'sudo cp / /mnt/usb/harddrive/whatever'? Just want to make sure
[09:12] <Fuzzy> so whats this (uname-r) about ?
[09:12] <FlimFlamMan> is there a way to set up a directory such that all directories created under it are read/write for the group that owns it, regardless of who creates them?
[09:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Fuzzy: did you enable the repos?
[09:13] <thomas> covOPprometheus: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , then find ' Section "Module" ' and add a new line Load "dri" as the others are.
[09:13] <Fuzzy> repos?
[09:13] <davin> Fuzzy: uname-r refers to the currently running kernel
[09:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Fuzzy: Sorry out of time... look at your sources.list
[09:13] <davin> Fuzzy: if you are getting a package with a uname-r prefix, it most likely means it will get you the version for your kernel
[09:13] <Fuzzy> ok
[09:14] <don_jr> How do I use a .bin file?
[09:14] <covOPprometheus> thomas, it is already there
[09:14] <Fuzzy> ahh
[09:14] <davin> don_jr: ./blabla.bin?
[09:14] <thomas> covOPprometheus: what drivers are you using?
[09:14] <nich0s> What is the name of the perl scriptable browser?
[09:14] <don_jr> davin I'll keep trying, that hasn't worked as of yet.
[09:14] <backlit> davin: don't forget to chmod u+x that bad boy :)
[09:14] <Fuzzy> where is the sources.list?
[09:15] <backlit> Fuzzy: /etc/apt/
[09:15] <juan> is there an alternative to beagle for finding files on my pc?
[09:15] <covOPprometheus> thomas, 855 I think
[09:15] <davin> don_jr: as backlit said, make sure its chmod +x'ed
[09:15] <covOPprometheus> thomas, had to fix 1280x800
[09:15] <nich0s> backlit, go to bed or something :P
[09:16] <thomas> covOPprometheus: I don't know anything about that driver. It could be it does not support DRI.
[09:16] <don_jr> davin how do I do that?  THis is my first nix system, sorry to be so needy.
[09:16] <covOPprometheus> thomas, what other driver should I use?
[09:16] <backlit> don_jr: this is assuming that your .bin file is some kind of program, it could also be a MacBinary file, or simply a binary file of some kind
[09:16] <backlit> nich0s: it's 3 o clock in the afternoon!
[09:16] <thomas> covOPprometheus: what graphics card do you have?
[09:16] <cerda> i cant recover grub using the internets howto's they dont wokr for me =(
[09:17] <nich0s> don_jr:  man chmod
[09:17] <don_jr> backlit it's a download from java, said on the site to be a 'self extracting' file....
[09:17] <covOPprometheus> thomas, intel media accelerator 900
[09:17] <nich0s> backlit: You were on the last time I was here. :P
[09:17] <cerda> anyone could help me recovering grub???
[09:17] <juan> !beagle
[09:17] <ubotu> beagle: indexing and search tool for your personal data. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.6-1ubuntu5 (dapper), package size 1208 kB, installed size 3992 kB
[09:17] <covOPprometheus> thomas, well let's start from scratch, I'm having some trouble with 3ddesktop only
[09:17] <harleypig> I'm trying to get the native wmv9 patch working discussed in http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140565 but am failing ... any place that has updates on this?
[09:17] <backlit> nich0s: either there is another backlit, or that is an amazing coincidence... i have been in #ubuntu exactly twice, including this time
[09:17] <Adam> Any one had a broadcomm # NetXtreme and NetLink - tg3
[09:17] <Adam> # NetXtreme
[09:17] <Fuzzy> ok im checking my sources.list, but i cant find my build
[09:17] <Adam> ignore that
[09:17] <covOPprometheus> thomas, it worked fine, and when I configured some autorun and hotkeys it stopped doing what it should
[09:18] <davin> is it able to cp something to a smb:// server?
[09:18] <Adam> any one had a briadcimm NetExtreme 57x working in ubuntu?
[09:18] <backlit> don_jr: if it is a self-extracting archive for linux, that should work
[09:18] <cerda> anyone who know howto recover grub????
[09:18] <thomas> Adam: use google.
[09:18] <nich0s> backlit: Someone else has your name... excellent :P  I was up for like 48 hours, so that may have played a part... just type /ignore nich0s :P
[09:18] <nich0s> cerda, Do you have access to the system at all?
[09:18] <backlit> nich0s: no can do, you seem to be good people :)
[09:18] <don_jr> backlit I thought so to, but it tells me "command not found"
[09:19] <opera_> hi
[09:19] <nich0s> backlit: Excellent :P  (another one has fallen in to my trap)
[09:19] <nich0s> opera_: HOWDY!
[09:19] <cerda> nich0s what do u mean with acess to the system at all??
[09:19] <opera_> hoi nich0s
[09:19] <redloff> how can I change character set in my printer?
[09:19] <backlit> don_jr: you need to cd into the directory that you downloaded the file into
[09:19] <cerda> nich0s cant use ubuntu
[09:19] <covOPprometheus> thomas, any idea why that could come from?
[09:19] <nich0s> cerda: Are you able to log on to the system locally with any OS?
[09:19] <don_jr> backlit I'm there
[09:19] <Homer> is gnash good enough to be useable yet?
[09:19] <cerda> nich0s no
[09:19] <backlit> don_jr: then type "chmod u+x " <name of .bin file>
[09:19] <thomas> I am having trouble running a cron job. I scheduled it to execute every 30 minutes, and almost a day later, it hasn't. The script I am excecuting has no user input, is excecutable, and I know it works. Can somebody help me solve this?
[09:20] <backlit> don_jr: then type ./<name of .bin file> (note there is no space between the slash and the file name)
[09:20] <thomas> covOPprometheus: I don't know I do not use 3ddesktop.
[09:20] <nich0s> cerda, You may need to use the computer that you are on to download a live CD and mod the /boot/grub/menu.lst manually
[09:20] <thomas> covOPprometheus: have you tried reinstalling it?
[09:20] <don_jr> backlit the chmod fixed it, thank you
[09:20] <brian98> Hey all, I just got a nice 750GB sata drive and was wondering :) should I ghost my install or install fresh ?
[09:21] <covOPprometheus> thomas, I just checked and other programms are afected too, somehow direct rendering got turned of
[09:21] <backlit> can i try to register my name with nicserve? i don't like the thought of there being two of me...
[09:21] <cerda> nich0s i have a live-cd already, how do i mod the menu.lst ?
[09:21] <thomas> cerda, use a smaller live cd. a full ubuntu live cd is not required to modify your grub list.
[09:21] <nich0s> brian98:  drools on brians HD.
[09:21] <Fuzzy> sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname-r) << so what do i put in uname-r im using ubuntu 6.06 LTS
[09:21] <davin> don_jr: you know what you just did with chmod? (maybe you know or what to know)
[09:21] <brian98> btw I collect DVD's and have 400gb of MP3's just in case you think I'm insane....
[09:21] <nich0s> cerda, term.
[09:21] <nich0s> cerda: after you open the term, you will go to /
[09:21] <brian98> which I will be converting to ogg of course ;)
[09:21] <opera_> hmm what benefits does ubuntu have? i dont now..should i install ubuntu or debian :S
[09:21] <don_jr> davin I changed the file's permissions to make it executable I believe?
[09:21] <fyrestrtr> Fuzzy: just type it like it is exactly, it will fill it up for you
[09:21] <DShepherd> Fuzzy: try uname -r
[09:22] <backlit> don_jr: chmod u+x mean "make this file executable for the user that owns it
[09:22] <DShepherd> Fuzzy: with a space between uname -r
[09:22] <Fuzzy> 2.6.15-26-386
[09:22] <covOPprometheus> anyone knows how to reenable direct rendering for a intel chipset?
[09:22] <Fuzzy> that must be it
[09:22] <mds> hey folks, when I attempt to change gnome themes, and then restart X, gnome hangs on startup with a flashing menu and taskbar (which eventually goes away and I am just stuck with the desktop background and an unresponsive x session).  this is a kubuntu machine with the ubuntu desktop installed
[09:22] <don_jr> backlit Okay, thank you.  I've got my notebook here I"ve been writing all my commands into that I learn.  I appriciate it.
[09:22] <davin> don_jr: yep sort of, you chmod (CHange MODe) it +x (Executable) So you just made the .bin executable instead of a bizzload of code :-)
[09:22] <brian98> so ghost or start again... I also got a nvidia card because x was hanging a lot and I was told it was because the ATI support is crap
[09:22] <don_jr> davin Thank you too, I appriciate it.
[09:22] <Homicide187> im having a problem with azureus
[09:23] <davin> don_jr: You're welcome, I'm learning too :-)
[09:23] <backlit> nice thing about linux is you can't stop learning (you'll die, and your video card will stop working)
[09:23] <nich0s> Homicide187: Why kind of a problem?
[09:23] <Liothen> how do you install xchat under ubuntu?
