[02:11] <ahave> frogzoo, so if i have an app that is asking (in the config file) for the location of the sound player... i should enter what "whereis alsa" tells me?
[02:11] <ptrg> can't get hardware acceleration working on my x300 i have the fglrx driver installed from ati. i have followed several tutorials, with no luck. any secret magic tricks out there?
[02:11] <frogzoo> Hub441: you can't ctrl alt f1 & get a terminal ?
[02:12] <Hub441> frogzoo: i've only got a command-line
[02:12] <lasse_> Night_Owl, to restart samba after you have configure /etc/samba/smb.conf you reload it with a  sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[02:12] <Hub441> frogzoo: and the command-line asks me for login
[02:12] <frogzoo> Hub441: cool, so 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start'
[02:12] <frogzoo> Hub441: argh...
[02:12] <Hub441> UAR!
[02:12] <lasse_> ptrg, buy nvidia :D
[02:13] <lasse_> Hub441, isnt "ubuntu" the default login name on live-cds? i think it is also on xubuntu
[02:13] <lasse_> Hub441, try   user   ubuntu   and password  <blank>
[02:14] <Anubis> i hope this does not sound like a stupid question, but i have a nvidia chipset on one of my desktops, do I also have to get a nvida card to get all of the beryl effects going?
[02:14] <Hub441> lasse_: nope blank password won't work
[02:14] <zyth> this is odd.  Vista is on hd(0,0) but it won't boot in grub.  The screen just flashes and it comes back to the grub menu.  Ubuntu boots fine though. (I have vista on hd0 and ubuntu on hd1, reinstalled grub after installing vista) - anyone got any suggestions for me?
[02:15] <Chicory> Aaah!
[02:15] <ahave> frogzoo, thank you!! i got one application working :D
[02:15] <Chicory> Nothing like a snow day to work with Linux.  :D
[02:15] <lasse_> zyth,  http://digg.com/software/HowTo_dual-boot_Windows_XP_and_Windows_Vista_-_Windows_Vista_Beta:_
[02:15] <lasse_> zyth, sorry wrong link
[02:15] <zyth> oh
[02:15] <CrakeHunter> how do i change discs on cedega while installing a more-than-one-cd-rom-game? i cannot open my dvd-rom
[02:16] <Shaffox> Power the computer: what does this mean ?
[02:16] <mackinac> guess i should try getting updates first
[02:16] <cafuego_> zyth: remove vista - problem solved
[02:16] <zyth> cafuego, yes, so freaking helpful.  Either be constructive or stfu.
[02:17] <Chicory> Hooray!
[02:17] <cafuego_> Hey, you wanted suggestions.
[02:17] <posingaspopular> cafuego: agreed :)
[02:17] <zyth> :P
[02:17] <Chicory> Unop, if you're on here under a different handle, THANK YOU.
[02:17] <Chicory> Fglrx works brilliantly now!
[02:17] <frogzoo> zyth: you do realise grub calls to the doze bootloader which loads xp ?
[02:17] <chrisjw_> is there any dvd ripping software for ubuntu
[02:17] <sebrock|a> lasse_ some progress, I got the eth0 to talk to the router
[02:18] <cafuego_> chrisjw_: Yup, dvd::rip
[02:18] <frogzoo> chrisjw_: k3b
[02:18] <sebrock|a> lasse_ but it should get a DHCP adress, and it is not
[02:18] <zyth> frogzoo, it won't boot vista.  worked fine when XP was on that drive, but now that vista is there it just flashes and goes back to the grub menu
[02:18] <sebrock|a> so I cant get online
[02:18] <frogzoo> zyth: spooky
[02:18] <Chicory> !beryl
[02:18] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:18] <lasse_> sebrock|a, try  sudo ifdown eth0     and   sudo ifup eth0   and see what happens
[02:18] <frogzoo> zyth: Redmond fights back!
[02:19] <mackinac> zyth, have you tried booting directly to the win drive via bios options?
[02:19] <zyth> lol
[02:19] <cafuego_> Without wanting to incur futher STFUs, how is vista not booting an Ubuntu problem?
[02:19] <oxigen> gentoo have command 'revdep-rebuild' for updating libs, what is command in ubuntu for this?
[02:19] <sebrock|a> lasse_ ok, I have to boot into win all the time, so I cant do it just like that
[02:19] <Chicory> Oh, guys, what's the verdict on Vista's "BitLocker" NTFS protocol?
[02:19] <zyth> mackinac, grub is on the windows drive.  grub is in the mbr on hd0, and vista is on the rest.  Ubuntu is on hd1
[02:19] <Chicory> Last I heard it was a foil to other OS'es accessing the partition.
[02:19] <mackinac> ahh
[02:19] <cafuego_> oxigen: There isn't one; not needed.
[02:19] <lolman> Chicory: pile of dog turd
[02:19] <Chicory> Has someone successfully reverse-engineered it yet?
[02:19] <sebrock|a> I did all that aswell lasse_, how do I assign an DHCP adress to the card?
[02:19] <lasse_> sebrock|a, hold on
[02:20] <cafuego_> oxigen: There is 'apt-get build-dep <packagename>' to pull in buoild depends.
[02:20] <suguru_> noop or jrib, I was told to use pastin.  Which I did but no one has responded to my pastin.  What am I suppossed to do?
[02:20] <Chicory> lolman: To our advantage or disadvatage?  XD
[02:20] <jrib> suguru_: you haven't told us the url to your paste
[02:20] <lolman> Chicory: depends if you use it XD
[02:20] <sebrock|a> lasse_ this maybe: iface eth0 inet dhcp
[02:20] <mackinac> i would redo the mbr on the hd0 and put grub on hd1
[02:20] <Chicory> Eh, I don't know if I'm ever upgrading to Vista.
[02:20] <oxigen> cafuego_: i have libpng,but still get 'error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3'
[02:20] <Chicory> If anything "Vienna" is coming out in 2009.
[02:20] <cafuego_> oxigen: What app gives you that error?
[02:21] <Chicory> ... Supposedly.  :P
[02:21] <frogzoo> zyth: quick google turned up this "Try hiding some of the partitions when
[02:21] <frogzoo> trying to boot XP/vista with something like
[02:21] <frogzoo> "hide=(hd0,0)" in your grub.conf...obviously you will have to hide the correct partitions for your system."
[02:21] <chrisjw_> is k3b available with synaptic
[02:21] <Chicory> Vista, after all, was SUPPOSED to come out like four years ago.
[02:21] <jrib> !k3b | chrisjw_
[02:21] <ubotu> chrisjw_: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[02:21] <oxigen> cafuego_: kerkythea
[02:21] <lolman> Chicory: I'd call it 2011, and with a load of stuff removed too
[02:21] <zyth> frogzoo, ehh? that an option in menu.lst?
[02:21] <Chicory> Ah.
[02:21] <jrib> chrisjw_: (yes)
[02:21] <chrisjw_> hmm
[02:21] <cafuego_> oxigen: installed using apt?
[02:21] <Chicory> As long as people keep porting my favorite games into Linux, I'll stick with Linux/WinXP ...
[02:22] <chrisjw_> i'm after something such as clone dvd or ripdvd
[02:22] <oxigen> cafuego_: no, it's not available
[02:22] <ahave> what is the thing to install if i want to install kde?
[02:22] <frogzoo> zyth: it's a grub option you can set within the doze section, google around for examples
[02:22] <Chicory> Granted that my WinXP installation doesn't die, which it will.
[02:22] <cafuego_> oxigen: So compiled binary off a site somewhere?
[02:22] <zyth> ok
[02:22] <chrisjw_> will k3b do that or is it just a dvd burner
[02:22] <lasse_> sebrock|a, dont think no iface command will work
[02:22] <oxigen> cafuego_: yes
[02:22] <frogzoo> chrisjw_: k3b copies dvds, yes
[02:22] <cafuego_> typical. probably redhat binary.
[02:22] <oxigen> hmm
[02:22] <lasse_> sebrock|a,  sudo ifconfig up eth0   should use dhcp by default
[02:23] <sebrock|a> well it doesnt
[02:23] <jrib> !kde | ahave
[02:23] <ubotu> ahave: KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE for other ways to get KDE
[02:23] <chrisjw_> frogzoo: even dvds i buy from stores that i want to make backups of
[02:23] <sebrock|a> damn!!!

[02:23] <frogzoo> chrisjw_: I don't see why not
[02:23] <cafuego_> oxigen: Do you have 'libpng3' installed as well?
[02:23] <oxigen> cafuego_: yes
[02:23] <chrisjw_> there are protections that stop you doing things like that
[02:24] <Night_Owl> ok how do I find where smb.conf is hiding on my system? :/
[02:24] <ahave> jrib, how will it work? will i be given a choice? i want to have both gnome and KDE just to try them out
[02:24] <chrisjw_> but programs such as clonedvd on windows break the protection
[02:24] <frogzoo> chrisjw_: try it, see what happens
[02:24] <cafuego_> oxigen: what does `ldd kerkythea' say about libpng.so.3?
[02:24] <lasse_> Night_Owl, its in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[02:24] <Pici> Night_Owl: probably in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[02:24] <jrib> ahave: at the long screen, you can choose which you want to use with the "Options" button in the bottom left corner
[02:24] <Chicory> Quick question -- can I run Beryl using the proprietary binary ATI driver?
[02:24] <dreckslord> hello dudes
[02:24] <Chicory> Inquiring minds wish to know.  :s
[02:24] <oxigen> cafuego_: i have also problems with compiling inkscape 0.45, the same libpng3 problem :/
[02:25] <lasse_> sebrock|a, check the /etc/network/interfaces   file and confirm taht eth0 is set to dhcp
[02:25] <ahave> jrib, ok. sweet.
[02:25] <Pici> Chicory: I don't think you should have any problems
[02:25] <dreckslord> can sombody help me with my grub i tried to install but he says Error: Couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst. Is GRUB installed?
[02:25] <cafuego_> oxigen: Well, there at least I can help you, I have inkscape 0.45 packages for edgy :-)
[02:25] <ahave> jrib, one more Q: is there a way to findout how much room i have remaining on my / partition?
[02:25] <Chicory> Ah, well, the Ubuntu Community Documentation is having a hissy fit about that.
[02:25] <variant> How do you set the default media player for all video formats, without having to do it one at a time?
[02:25] <ahave> jrib, i feel as if i am installing left and right here...
[02:25] <jrib> ahave: df -h, or right click and go to properties in natuilus
[02:25] <Pici> dreckslord: What exactly is giving you the error?
[02:26] <cafuego_> oxigen: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/edgy-cafuego/inkscape/
[02:26] <dreckslord> pici its the installer of arch linux
[02:26] <oxigen> cafuego_: yea!!? cool!! thanks!
[02:26] <dreckslord> i dont know what command its specified
[02:26] <sebrock|a> lasse_ maybe I need to set the gateway
[02:26] <lasse_> sebrock|a, it should say something like auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
[02:26] <lasse_> sebrock|a, no dhcp will do that for you
[02:26] <Pelo> morning folks,  anyone know something to convert m4a to mp3 ?
[02:26] <variant> Pelo: mplayer.. or google for m4a2mp3
[02:27] <chrisjw_> frogzoo:
[02:27] <chrisjw_> k9copy is a tabbed tool that allows to copy of one or more titles from a DVD9
[02:27] <chrisjw_> to a DVD5, in thesame way than DVDShrink for Microsoft Windows (R).
[02:27] <variant> Pelo: mplayer/mencoder
[02:27] <sebrock|a> I wonder... rebooting
[02:27] <Pici> dreckslord: uh, Ubuntu installs the menu.lst to /boot/grub/menu.lst  I'm not sure if I can help you with an Arch Linux install
[02:27] <chrisjw_> that's what i wanted
[02:27] <Pelo> mplayuer realy ?
[02:27] <chrisjw_> thanks:)
[02:27] <cafuego_> oxigen: Hmm, I have no problems running kerkythea on edgy.  Can you reinstall your libpng3? (sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpng3)
[02:27] <variant> Pelo: well, mencoder which is part of mplayer. yes
[02:27] <Pelo> ah
[02:27] <Pelo> thks
[02:27] <oxigen> cafuego_: ok, i'll try
[02:28] <lasse_> Night_Owl, how is the samba configuration going?
[02:28] <variant> Pelo: really you would want to play the m4a file and pipe it to mp3 encoder
[02:28] <Asl[a] n> do I have to enable WINS server on ubuntu tog get samba wrking properly?
[02:28] <frogzoo> Asl[a] n: you can map by ip only if you don't want to use nmb
[02:28] <CrakeHunter> how do i manually unmount my dvdrom ? and mount it again?
[02:28] <ahave> jrib, ok. thanks. ... i only have 1G remaining for installs :O
[02:29] <dreckslord> pici yes i had ubuntu installed but i mgiht crushed gdm so i just tryed something new :D
[02:29] <dreckslord> pici what do you think can i do?
[02:29] <oxigen> cafuego_: you are right! i have now problems with libtiff, but i know now where is the problem. hmm, how comes?
[02:29] <lasse_> CrakeHunter, sudo mount  to list the mounted devices   then sudo umount /dev/<yourdvdrom>    then sudo mount /dev/<yourdvdrom>
[02:29] <lisette> # j ./momomo
[02:29] <cafuego_> oxigen: Dunno... unfinished update at some stage?
[02:30] <lisette> vad skriva bjrn
[02:30] <oxigen> cafuego_: hmm, maybe... thank you!
[02:30] <cafuego_> np :-)
[02:31] <oxigen> cafuego_: do you have some pubkey for your repository?
[02:31] <cafuego_> oxigen: Yeah, check the front page of the site link, it's there
[02:32] <CrakeHunter> lasse, thanks, it tells me "the device is busy"
[02:32] <oxigen> cafuego_: ok, thanks
[02:32] <cafuego_> or pull it from a keyserver
[02:33] <Chicory> AIGLX v. GLX in Edgy using fglrx -- does it matter?
[02:33] <frogzoo> Chicory: XGL for fglrx
[02:33] <CrakeHunter> lasse, how do i force unmounting my drive?
[02:34] <Chicory> Ah, thanks frogzoo.
[02:34] <lasse_> CrakeHunter, i was wondering about the same thing.
[02:34] <CrakeHunter> ;)

[02:34] <chona> how can i run a c file?
[02:35] <mackinac> c is source code
[02:35] <lasse_> CrakeHunter, i guess the -f option would work
[02:35] <hjmills> are there any known issues with the latest linux-restricted-modules and the atheros based wireless cards?
[02:35] <lasse_> chona, youll have to compile it
[02:36] <Night_Owl> ug
[02:36] <chona> then after compiling?
[02:36] <suguru_> I just went to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ as I was told and did a pastin.  I also did it in pastin.com or org  Sorry guys.  18 hrs fly plus all nite here Now must fly again
[02:36] <chona> then after compiling wirth gcc?
[02:36] <chona> then after compiling with gcc?
[02:36] <CrakeHunter> lsse, yea thats the comman, however it still says: device is busy
[02:36] <rexsum> you can execute it or link it
[02:36] <chona> is it ./ ?
[02:36] <lasse_> hjmills, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17/+bugs?field.tag=atheros ?
[02:37] <chona> it says permission denied
[02:37] <hjmills> thanks lasse_
[02:37] <rexsum> gcc -o file.c file?
[02:37] <Rossimo-work> is there any way I can disable ad-hoc networking with NetworkManager?
[02:37] <chona> rexsum: then what?
[02:38] <rexsum> then you have an executeable
[02:38] <lasse_> CrakeHunter, im not sure.
[02:38] <rexsum> might want to read the install file that came with it
[02:38] <rexsum> or get prebuild programs if you dont know how to build
[02:38] <lasse_> Night_Owl, how did the samba configuration go?
[02:38] <Asl[a] n> how come i don't get any contents in the network folder- cripes. I was able to share files without a problem on samba. but not anymore.
[02:38] <Asl[a] n> ok, i can see an icon which says 'windows network'.
[02:38] <Asl[a] n> but nothing happens when I double click it
[02:39] <lasse_> Asl[a] n, try  smb://<iptotheserveryouwanttoconnectto  in nautilus
[02:39] <lasse_> Asl[a] n, *smb//<iptotheserver>
[02:40] <Asl[a] n> lasse_, __GASP___. you're a life saver :)
[02:40] <hjmills>  can network manager be set to auto connect to any open network if there are no known secured networks around?
[02:40] <hjmills> and can it be set to run a script when it does so?
[02:41] <Asl[a] n> lasse_, so how come it doesnt work like it used to? i used to be able to see the server on my network.
[02:41] <Asl[a] n> not anymore though
[02:41] <lasse_> Asl[a] n, you can mount it so you dont have to write the ip adress all the time.. http://www.debianadmin.com/mount-network-file-systems-nfssamba-in-ubuntu.html
[02:41] <lasse_> Asl[a] n, im not sure
[02:42] <Night_Owl> ug
[02:42] <CheshireViking> hjmills, don't know how you would set it to do that, but my laptop connects automatically to an open network if there;s one available, not sure how it would react if it found 2 open networks in range though, presumably it'd connect to the last one it was connected to, or maybe just the first one it finds
[02:42] <Night_Owl> I haven't a clue, lasse_
[02:42] <lasse_> Night_Owl, whats the problem
[02:42] <Night_Owl> I think I did it properly according to what you'd shown me
[02:42] <Night_Owl> But I don't know how to get the two systems to be able to 'see' each other :/
[02:43] <lasse_> Night_Owl, after you have edited the /etc/samba/smb.conf   youll have to restart samba to load the new config file
[02:43] <Night_Owl> ok how do I restart it without rebooting the PC?
[02:44] <Night_Owl> sorry I've never had a Linux box before :/
[02:44] <lasse_> Night_Owl, the way you do that is   sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart    .   Then try to write smb://<iptoyourwindowsbox> in nautilus  or \\<iptotheubuntubox> in windows
[02:45] <erUSUL> !seen albe84tr

[02:48] <frankzhao> hi, how to disconnect using pppoeconf?
[02:48] <frankzhao> i want to disconnect ...
[02:48] <Night_Owl> hmm.. how do I find my IP address for my Linux box? :/
[02:48] <jfanaian_> ifconfig
[02:48] <frankzhao> ipconfig, I think
[02:48] <Zil_> frankzhao: sudo poff -a
[02:48] <ahave> is there a terminal command to display system settings? i want to display info such as whether or not the system is 32bit or 64
[02:48] <frankzhao> thanks a lot!
[02:48] <Zil_> np
[02:49] <Zil_> anybody have an idea for a PDF editor?
[02:49] <frankzhao> where r u from, man?
[02:49] <hjmills> frankzhao: ipconfig is for windows - ifconfig is the linux command
[02:49] <jfanaian_> I'm having a problem with my ubuntu... I installed my ATI drivers last night and also apt said to do "apt-get autoremove" to remove ndiswrapper-common because supposedly it wasn't needed
[02:49] <frankzhao> yes, u r right! it is cool to chat with everybody here!
[02:49] <jfanaian_> Now when I boot normally it stops before the login screen and doesn't show anything but the typing "_" on the top left
[02:49] <jfanaian_> And if I boot in recovery mode it stops after ndiswrapper loads
[02:49] <chona> why can't i use this ./ ?
[02:49] <jfanaian_> And it says "NET: Registered protocol family 17"
[02:50] <jfanaian_> And it won't boot after that :(
[02:50] <IdleOne> chona, what are you trying to use it for?
[02:50] <chona> to run
[02:50] <IdleOne> run what?
[02:51] <bulmer> chona an equivalent to that is  source command
[02:51] <IdleOne> !away | faemir_

[02:51] <chona> i already included a source command..it doesn't work on any command
[02:52] <chona> like ./configure..and any other commands
[02:52] <IdleOne> bulmer, doesnt chona need to install build-essential to be able to use ./configure and the such?
[02:52] <chona> all i want is to run a file afetr compiling it.. i worked before, but now it doesn't
[02:52] <jfanaian_> Is there an alternate way to boot other than recovery boot? When I try to boot in recovery mode it hangs
[02:52] <Night_Owl> *sigh*
[02:53] <Night_Owl> OK
[02:53] <ahave> is there a terminal command to display info such as whether or not the system is 32bit or 64
[02:53] <chona> i already installed build-essential
[02:53] <chona> i already installed build-essential, its the latest..
[02:53] <chona> i can compile with gcc but i can't run
[02:53] <chona> i can compile with gcc but i can't run any
[02:53] <Night_Owl> I can tell XP it has two different IP addresses, one for LAN and one for the Internet, using the same NIC. How do I do that for the other box?
[02:54] <bulmer> chona  its like this  .  ./commandhere
[02:54] <chona> yes, i've done thta...
[02:54] <chona> yes, i've done that..
[02:54] <chona> as i've said, it worked before..
[02:55] <IdleOne> chona what did you compile?
[02:55] <Night_Owl> I'm gonna log on from the Linux box.. be able to C&P from there should I need to
[02:55] <Chicory> Argh!

[02:57] <IdleOne> Chicory, try #ubuntu-effects they might be able to help you
[02:57] <NoEvidenZ> You know how you click on System > Administration > Networking?
[02:57] <Chicory> I dunno, it was pretty dead a few minutes ago.
[02:57] <IdleOne> Chicory, :/ hang out here I guess sooner or later someone will be able to help you
[02:58] <glundberg> has anyone had a problem with ubuntu not rebooting completely?
[02:58] <NoEvidenZ> I don't have Networking anymore. What packages do I need to download or reinstall or whatever to get it back?
[02:58] <jfanaian_> Is there an alternate way to boot other than recovery boot? When I try to boot in recovery mode it hangs
[02:59] <Chicory> Thanks, IdleOne.
[02:59] <IdleOne> Chicory, NP sorry I cant help you more
[02:59] <Chicory> Nah, I think I might be on to something in the Ubuntu Help Wiki.
[02:59] <Nightscape> ah
[02:59] <Nightscape> here I am
[02:59] <IdleOne> heya Nightscape
[03:00] <NoEvidenZ> Can anyone tell me how to get Networking back in the System > Administration menu?
[03:00] <Nightscape> on Ubuntu box
[03:00] <IdleOne> NoEvidenZ, Applications>Add/remove should be in there and you can add it back
[03:00] <NoEvidenZ> What's it called?
[03:01] <IdleOne> probably Networking
[03:01] <NoEvidenZ> Heh, c'mon. It can't be that easy..
[03:01] <IdleOne> why not :)
[03:01] <NoEvidenZ> Because my problems never are. =o
[03:01] <jfanaian_> Is there an alternate way to boot other than recovery boot? When I try to boot in recovery mode it hangs with the last message being "NET : Registered protocol family 17"
[03:01] <NoEvidenZ> Well, maybe a few...
[03:02] <IdleOne> NoEvidenZ, doesnt seem to be in there
[03:03] <zyth> uhhh my sound has decided to randomly start cutting out for no apparent reason.  It's going, then it gets skippy, then it just turns right off.
[03:03] <NoEvidenZ> IdleOne: Could you maybe look at the launcher on yours and tell me what it launches, so I can go hunt for that?
[03:03] <IdleOne> NoEvidenZ, you can also install alacarte ( menu editor )
[03:04] <mtyhome> hi all

[03:05] <Hudso1> Anyone able to help me get Nvidia drivers installed and AIGLX working? I can't seem to get it to work
[03:05] <IdleOne> NoEvidenZ, yup
[03:06] <Nightscape> uggg
[03:06] <Nightscape> this looks confusing :/
[03:06] <IdleOne> Nightscape, what does?
[03:06] <Jowi> jfanaian_, boot in recovery and press ctrl-c to interrupt the bootprocess when you feel you can
[03:06] <Nightscape> This thing about aliasing IPs and NICs
[03:06] <IdleOne> oh
[03:07] <jfanaian_> Jowi: it does nothing if i do that, but if i press ctrl+alt+del it interrupts and goes right to the prompt but the whole drive is in read-only mode
[03:07] <Qzr> Is it possible to get flash and java for amd64?
[03:07] <IdleOne> !flash > Qzr

[03:07] <Nightscape> I'm guessing it's not possible to do that in a GUI?
[03:07] <LjL> jfanaian_: well, you can remount it read-write with "mount / -o remount,rw"
[03:07] <mtyhome> ok thx for the link, but does somebody use linux-wlan-ng drivers with nm??

[03:15] <LjL> CrakeHunter: man ln
[03:15] <CrakeHunter> k thx
[03:15] <unop> LjL,  indeed, but in terms of networking it's TCP that comes to mind as the one that relies of acknowldgements, connections, flow control, etc .. UDP is the "chilled out" cousin :)
[03:15] <Nightscape> That URL I was given earlier (for IP aliasing) .. the first line I was given, I'm sure I typed right, and it came back saying can't read.. no such file or directory
[03:15] <bulmer> how one would test an LPD services from running on a windows xp (printer parallel por attached); testit from linux side
[03:15] <NoEvidenZ> IdleOne: No luck.
[03:16] <jfanaian_> LjL: Its still not booting, I don't know what the problem is. Could it have to do with ndiswrapper-common? Aptitude said I should do a apt-get autoremove because that package wasn't being used. Could that cause it to hang?
[03:16] <Nightscape> the line about loading the module into the kernel
[03:17] <LjL> jfanaian_, i don't really know. i would look at /etc/network/interfaces and disable any interface you aren't using. but i'm not even sure why i'm saying this - it's just as likely to be successful as any other random thing
[03:17] <LjL> !away > faemir_    (faemir_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[03:17] <jfanaian_> LjL: I'll see what I can do
[03:17] <unop> bulmer,  are you sure it's not CIFS (like samba) thats not sharing the printer there?
[03:18] <bulmer> unop: the LPD services is run on the xp
[03:18] <LjL> jfanaian_: perhaps look at /var/log/messages and friends, and try to see exactly where the boot process stops (the message you mentioned might be deceiving)
[03:18] <erUSUL> bulmer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter
[03:18] <bulmer> unop: i just need to telnet to it or something to check the queue if it is getting the print jobs
[03:18] <jfanaian_> LjL: I'll look in there as well. I just installed ndiswrapper-common to see if that is the problem because the message right before it is about ndiswrapper loading
[03:19] <jfanaian_> LjL: Oh it was it!!!! It booted :)
[03:19] <LjL> jfanaian_: cool
[03:19] <jfanaian_> LjL: Now let me try normal boot
[03:19] <CrakeHunter> and how do i delete copyprotected files?
[03:19] <unop> bulmer,  if you were to be strict .. LPD is a unix thing not windows .. so if you said LPD on windows, i'd be inclined to think you were running it under cygwin/uwin
[03:19] <Pici> unop: Or Windows Services for Unix
[03:20] <bulmer> unop: they have an equivalent LPD services running on the windows xp
[03:20] <unop> Pici,  or that yea
[03:20] <Jowi> CrakeHunter, rm -f filename
[03:20] <CrakeHunter> k thanks
[03:20] <jfanaian_> LjL: Awesome, it all works perfect :)
[03:21] <LjL> CrakeHunter: no file is "copyprotected". files can be marked as readable, writable or executable, for a given user -- and anyway, *deleting* a file pertains to the permission that the *directory* (and not just the file) has
[03:21] <LjL> CrakeHunter: if the file is owned by root, delete it as root (though this begs the question, why would you delete a root owned file?)
[03:21] <unop> bulmer,  well, i think you mean "Windows File and Printing Services"  .. so http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing.html
[03:21] <bulmer> unop: actually I dont know how to test if one is running (LPD) on an Linux box..just do an lpstat?
[03:21] <bulmer> unop: that could be it, File and print services
[03:22] <CrakeHunter> ljl - im experimenting with cedega. i cannot just delete a file in there i need to go to console and get su rights
[03:22] <unop> bulmer,  err yea, that link has a section i think to troubleshooting the windows print services
[03:22] <marsswell> how do you  find a server in the software Alexandria?
[03:22] <CrakeHunter> i assume there is no possibility to get sudo rights on the desktop without going to console
[03:22] <CrakeHunter> this would speed things up
[03:23] <rexsum> you need root if you cant su or sudo yeah
[03:23] <rexsum> su prolly works though
[03:23] <jfanaian_> Is there any other wifi manager other than the default Networking tool on ubuntu to manage multiple wifi networks easier?
[03:23] <erUSUL> CrakeHunter: you can launch a 'gksudo nautilus'
[03:23] <erUSUL> jfanaian_: network manager
[03:23] <marsswell> how do you  find a server in the software Alexandria?
[03:23] <CrakeHunter> a good!
[03:23] <Farhan> I went to /etc/dgm/dgm.conf-custom and well I enabled allowroot=true but it doesn't work.

[03:29] <buckwild> has anyone had any experience running two x servers?
[03:29] <freezey> buckwild: yeah it crashes
[03:29] <buckwild> I tried running twinview with my HDTV and my monitor
[03:29] <Night_Owl> I looked at the mini howto for IP aliasing, but the first command I went to type in (to load the module) came back with an error a la 'file not found'
[03:29] <buckwild> but the problem is that my monitor isn't widescreen, and my HDTV is
[03:30] <buckwild> so my HDTV I think will constantly be forced into a non-widescreen resolution (aka cutting off some of the screen)
[03:30] <freezey> buckwild: are you trying to get the dual monitor affect?
[03:30] <buckwild> freezey: exactly
[03:31] <buckwild> freezey: I don't really care if both monitors are tied together, I'd like to eventually run mythTV on my TV and other stuff on my computer
[03:31] <erUSUL> jfanaian_: run nm-applet
[03:31] <freezey> buckwild: how i have it is i have 2 monitors that are identical
[03:31] <erUSUL> !nm
[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:31] <erUSUL> !network-manager
[03:31] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[03:31] <freezey> buckwild: you can do that but ur mythTV would be running through a diff card
[03:31] <buckwild> freezey: why a different card?
[03:31] <freezey> buckwild: or my apologies that dam wingo tv card
[03:31] <freezey> buckwild: i had this setup before
[03:32] <freezey> buckwild: i just cant remember how i had mythTV going
[03:32] <buckwild> my problem right now is getting the HDTV to pop up at a resolution that makes sense
[03:32] <buckwild> I don't think twinview works with one regular resolution monitor and one 16:9 resolution monitor
[03:32] <freezey> buckwild: yeah if you run 2 sessions of X server its going to crash
[03:33] <buckwild> I've gotten both to have a picture at the same time, but both monitors were in a regular monitor resolution, and the HDTV wasn't showing all of the screen due to that
[03:34] <therapy> anyone had problems on logout with ati cards and fglrx drivers?
[03:34] <freezey> hhmm
[03:34] <buckwild> isn't there a way to run two different X servers, one per monitor?
[03:34] <buckwild> is that possible?
[03:34] <freezey> yeah buckwild: no
[03:34] <buckwild> no?
[03:34] <freezey> buckwild: i have tried to run 2 xservers
[03:34] <freezey> buckwild: and it has crashed on me and i had to rebuild xorg
[03:35] <buckwild> hmm
[03:35] <buckwild> what would you suggest then?
[03:35] <portahex> my feisty desktop is no longer booting, following the last round of updates. it begins to boot, shows some unexpected messages ("init: 1: cannot open /dev/root" and output from "modprobe -h" and "busybox" amongst other things). it then stalls completely around the usb device detection stage
[03:35] <buckwild> xinerama?
[03:35] <buckwild> twinview I don't think will work
[03:35] <buckwild> I think both monitors have to have the same aspect ratio
[03:36] <buckwild> and I don't wanna buy a 16:10 monitor just to get it to work right
[03:36] <buckwild> I think the problem with twinview is that it wants the added resolutions to equal a 16:9 or 4:3 ratio when they aren't going to when you combine a 4:3 and a 16:9 display together
[03:37] <freezey> buckwild: yeah buck i am not sure i personally have 2 identical monitors running... so i dont know any other way to do it... but i know running 2 sessions of X does not work.. but maybe their is some way you can do it with editing the xorg.conf
[03:37] <freezey> buckwild: i would say google it... or even post a question on ... http://www.linuxquestions.org
[03:37] <jrib> portahex: #ubutnu+1 for feisty
[03:37] <dave> buckwiled, i got two different xservers running by editing my /etc/X11/xorg.conf (make sure u backup first) so that it was setup for extended desktop over two monitors using xinerama, then deleting the "leftof" part in the serveroptions at the bottom
[03:37] <jfanaian_> Oh god, now my wireless interface won't show up even though it shows in ndiswrapper -l as present :(
[03:37] <nofxx> hi.. my pppoe connection drops in ubuntu.. and  I need to restart the modem to make it work!! it wasnt happening in xubuntu..... any idea???
[03:38] <freezey> dave: thats not two different xservers running tho... thats just using dual monitors isnt it?
[03:38] <freezey> dave: so what your saying is you have 2 entirely different desktop enviroments?
[03:39] <buckwild> what I've read of xinerama is that you can't set resolutions on either monitor, is that true
[03:39] <facugaich> I want to upgrade the kernel but it tells me its not authenticated, what's going on? (Dapper)
[03:39] <buckwild> I think that honestly I'll have to hardcode the resolution for the HDTV in because I don't think it'll detect it
[03:39] <array_> Can someone help me? I tried to install xchat by tarball so I got a new icon 'XChat IRC' in applications/internet menu, but it doesn't work 'child process execution failed'... then I installed xchat-gnome using apt-get and it's ok but I want to uninstall the other xchat
[03:39] <buckwild> when I run it with just the HDTV it puts it in a standard desktop resolution
[03:40] <samalex> Hey guys.  I had been running Ubuntu 6.10 but installed KDE as that's what I prefer to use over Gnome.  This morning the HD in this box died so I replaced it but installed Kubuntu instead.  Though it's still KDE, it looks quite different.  For example, the fonts just don't look right as commas and periods look almost the same.  Also many apps, like synaptic, aren't there.  I'm installing these one by one, but just curious.
[03:40] <freezey> array_: sudo apt-get install xchat
[03:40] <array_> freezey: I need to uninstall it
[03:40] <freezey> array_: sudo apt-get remove xchat
[03:40] <freezey> lol
[03:41] <array_> oh, thanks :)
[03:41] <nofxx> hi.. my pppoe connection drops in ubuntu 6.10.. and  I need to restart the modem to make it work!! it wasnt happening in xubuntu 6.10 too..... any idea???
[03:43] <jfanaian_> I'm having a problem now. Ndiswrapper is showing my wireless card as present, but it won't show up in iwconfig or ifconfig
[03:43] <array_> freezey: it says xchat is not installed so it shouldn't be removed
[03:43] <nofxx> jfanaian_: ifconfig ra0 up ?
[03:43] <nofxx> or iwconfig... i dunno...
[03:44] <jfanaian_> nofxx: I don't have a device named ra0

[03:51] <jfanaian_> My wireless was working before, but now it isn't showing up with either iwconfig or ifconfig even though in ndiswrapper it shows it as present

[03:53] <alephant> Hi all...
[03:53] <alephant> ...Is the Mozilla Quality Feedback Agent (AKA Talkback) enabled in the Firefox package in Edgy?
[03:54] <[gijoework] > gary: cat /etc/*-release
[03:54] <array_> Do someone knows how to make the terminal complete a filename while we're typing it? (e.g.: if there is a file called 'file1' in current directory I just type 'fi' and then press TAB)
[03:54] <ithaycu> Hello
[03:54] <gary> Thank You!
[03:54] <gary> restarting to disable IPv6
[03:54] <gary> exit
[03:55] <ithaycu> Can anyone give me some advice on tracking down the cause of unexpected machine shutdowns?
[03:56] <jrib> array_: what shell
[03:56] <erUSUL> ithaycu: check the varius logs in /var/log/
[03:56] <alephant> Anybody?  Talkback / Moz Quality Feedback Agent in Ubuntu Firefox build?
[03:56] <jfanaian_> My wireless was working before, but now it isn't showing up with either iwconfig or ifconfig even though in ndiswrapper it shows it as present
[03:56] <array_> jrib: the terminal under 'applications/accessories' menu
[03:57] <array_> bash i guess
[03:57] <chrisjw_> hi is there any reason why i can't use tahoma with
[03:57] <chrisjw_> amsn
[03:58] <[gijoework] > array_: export PATH=.:"${PATH}"
[03:58] <ithaycu> erUSUL: Thx, I'll check the logs. I know the shutdowns are non-graceful
[03:59] <jfanaian_> chrisjw_: Try doing "sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts"
[03:59] <jfanaian_> chrisjw_: That will install the Microsoft TrueType core fonts
[03:59] <array_> thanks [gijoework] , will this work after my next reboot?
[04:00] <chrisjw_> i have done all of that
[04:00] <Benjiboy0784> hi... i really need some assistance on installing ubuntu 6.10
[04:00] <chrisjw_> tahoma isn't part of that anyway
[04:00] <chrisjw_> i've already installed tahoma
[04:00] <[gijoework] > array_: No, but add it to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
[04:00] <chrisjw_> my problem is, amsn can't see it in the font list
[04:00] <chrisjw_> every other application seems to eb able to
[04:00] <jrib> array_: bind '"\t":menu-complete'    it seems
[04:00] <chrisjw_> gaim, open office, vIRC, xchat
[04:00] <array_> [gijoework] : is there a way to make it works with folders as well?
[04:01] <jfanaian_> chrisjw_: Does MSN rune nativetly on ubuntu? Or are you running it through wine or similar?
[04:01] <jfanaian_> natively*
[04:01] <gary> I
[04:01] <jrib> array_: see "cycling set-up" http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2003/papers/bash_tips/
[04:01] <chrisjw_> i'm using aMSN it was a debian package
[04:01] <[gijoework] > array_: it should work with folders as well, it does here anyway. You just have to type in enough characters to make a match.
[04:01] <array_> jrib: thanks, perfect, it's what I was looking for
[04:02] <chrisjw_> I am emulating mIRC at the moment using WINE
[04:02] <chrisjw_> that's even using tahoma!
[04:02] <chrisjw_> i just don't see why the damn application won't
[04:02] <gary> I've disabled ipv6 now, and restarted the computer.  However the internet still seems slightly slow.  Again, I believe the other computers on the network are browsing quite a bit faster than I am.  The command: ip a | grep inet6 returns nothing, so it seems it is turned off
[04:02] <variant> chrisjw_: thats not somthing most people would admit to
[04:02] <chrisjw_> let me use tahoma, im using verdana right now
[04:02] <chrisjw_> thats ok im not bothered i like what i like
[04:02] <chrisjw_> and i like tahoma :(
[04:02] <chrisjw_> any ideas?
[04:02] <variant> nope
[04:03] <chrisjw_> :(
[04:03] <yeniklasor> hi, is here anyone was worked Internet Explorer on linux? Some websites requed I.E
[04:03] <jfanaian_> My wireless was working before, but now it isn't showing up with either iwconfig or ifconfig even though in ndiswrapper it shows it as present
[04:03] <yeniklasor> wine for example
[04:03] <variant> chrisjw_: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-82318.html
[04:03] <ithaycu> yenkilasor: You'll probably find that most ppl stop using thos sites.
[04:03] <variant> yeniklasor: yes, there is a very nice script that will install it for you flawlessly with flash as well
[04:03] <nofxx> yeniklasor: there is a neat plugin for firefox... you change the name of it for the sites...
[04:03] <ithaycu> yenkilasor: I know I do
[04:03] <nofxx> so the site thinks its IE and you get it.. xD
[04:04] <variant> yeniklasor: I will get you the link
[04:04] <yeniklasor> ok
[04:04] <IdleOne> yeniklasor, if the site isnt firefox friendly then you can email the webmaster and tell them to ge with the times or start using a different website
[04:04] <variant> yeniklasor: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page it installs ie6
[04:04] <jfanaian_> My wireless was working before, but now it isn't showing up with either iwconfig or ifconfig even though in ndiswrapper it shows it as present
[04:04] <yeniklasor> ok I'm checking
[04:05] <nofxx> IdleOne:  that site will be in my blacklist too...  f*** ie only sites
[04:05] <HymnToLife> jfanaian_, does ndiswrapper appear in lsmod ?
[04:05] <nofxx> the worst is this detection thing... without a "let me in anyways"
[04:06] <Benjiboy0784> can anyone help me.....?
[04:06] <nofxx> this firefox addon fixs this... you can change your browser name to opera, ie... anything
[04:06] <variant> yeniklasor: obviously you can improve firefox site compatibility by making sure you ahve all the relevent plugins and fonts installed, as somone else mentioned there is a plugin for firefox that makes it pretend to be ie as well. this fixes 99% of the sites that "require" internet exploiter
[04:06] <bulmer> jfanaian_:  look under /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf  and see if your interface is there
[04:06] <jfanaian_> HymnToLife: Ndiswrapper does show up in lsmod
[04:06] <HymnToLife> Benjiboy0784, you'll need to ask something a bit more precise
[04:06] <jfanaian_> bulmer: the file is empty
[04:07] <yeniklasor> variant : thanks for solve thanks
[04:07] <HymnToLife> jfanaian_, and ndiswrapper -l says "driver installed, hardware present" but iwconfig shows nothing ?
[04:07] <variant> yeniklasor: np
[04:07] <HymnToLife> that's definitely weird :/
[04:07] <jfanaian_> bulmer: oh its a dir
[04:07] <bulmer> jfanaian_: this means the kernel never detected any  of your networking stuff
[04:07] <Benjiboy0784> im trying to install ubuntu but it stops and wont go any further.....
[04:07] <jfanaian_> HymnToLife: Yeah, thats correct
[04:07] <variant> yeniklasor: it does a very good job of installing ie.. but it wont run quite the same as it does on windows
[04:07] <jfanaian_> bulmer: in ipv4/conf it has all, default, and lo
[04:07] <HymnToLife> Benjiboy0784, what is the last thing you see and what does it do exactly after that ?
[04:08] <IdleOne> Benjiboy0784, you need to be alot more specific
[04:08] <bulmer> jfanaian_: what are listed there? be precise now.
[04:08] <yeniklasor> yes but some sites dont look good with firefox
[04:08] <jfanaian_> bulmer: Three directories, all, default, lo... each with a bucnh fo files like accept_redirects, accept_source_route, arp_accept, etc.
[04:08] <Benjiboy0784> i just get a flashing line on the screen... thats what it sits at...
[04:08] <jfanaian_> bulmer: Each seem to have the same files
[04:08] <yeniklasor> I wanted it for this ;)
[04:08] <HymnToLife> Benjiboy0784, try an !alternate CD
[04:09] <IdleOne> !alternate | Benjiboy0784
[04:09] <ubotu> Benjiboy0784: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[04:09] <jfanaian_> bulmer: If I do lshw the wireless card does show up but it says "UNCLAIMED" for it
[04:09] <HymnToLife> the Live CD's installation thingie can still be quite buggy sometimes
[04:09] <bulmer> jfanaian_: that just shows you dont have a nic recognized..it would have something like eth0 or wlan0
[04:09] <aarohi> which program can i use to make animated gifs?
[04:09] <jfanaian_> bulmer: my eth0 is working fine... i'm using it and i can browse the internet
[04:09] <variant> aarohi: gimp
[04:09] <HymnToLife> aarohi, !gimp
[04:10] <HymnToLife> !gimp
[04:10] <ubotu> gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.
[04:10] <aarohi> variant, i have gimp. what am i looking for in there?
[04:10] <bulmer> jfanaian_: i asked you to be precise when listing whats on that directory, you didnt mention eth0
[04:10] <HymnToLife> aarohi, you need to make layers on your image
[04:10] <aarohi> after that? save as animated gif?
[04:10] <MagicRabbit> Hello everybody!  I might just be being thick though. Anyone know much about Wireless networks - newbie level?
[04:10] <jfanaian_> bulmer: It doesn't have eth0 in there... I told you everything that is in there
[04:10] <IdleOne> !wifi | MagicRabbit
[04:10] <ubotu> MagicRabbit: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:10] <HymnToLife> aarohi, yes, when you'll save a multi-layered image as GIF, you'll have the option to save it as animation
[04:10] <variant> aarohi: you need the gimp animation program afaik.. not done it in  along time
[04:11] <bulmer> jfanaian_: and your eth0 is working you say?
[04:11] <HymnToLife> with each layer being a frame of the animated gif of course
[04:11] <jfanaian_> bulmer: Yup
[04:11] <jfanaia1> bulmer: This is jfanaian_, connected from my ubuntu machine
[04:11] <bulmer> jfanaian_: that is really odd..all has to show up under /proc
[04:12] <variant> aarohi: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Advanced_Animations/
[04:12] <jfanaia1> bulmer: oh wait... eth0 is showing up now
[04:12] <jfanaia1> bulmer: It showed up after i did dhclient eth0 haha, sorry :(
[04:12] <bulmer> jfanaian_: it should, thats the only it will work
[04:12] <MagicRabbit> Thanks - just re-reading to check I haven't missed anything.
[04:12] <variant> aarohi: it's not exactly excellent but it's the only one i know of (there are likly more because it's not somehting I do)
[04:12] <michaelpo> why i cant play vcd in linuxmint? i can play dvd..
[04:12] <jfanaian_> bulmer: Yeah sorry about that =\... I didn't have it loaded, I had to get an IP first and now its showing up, but my wlan0 is not showing up
[04:12] <variant> michaelpo: why are you asking about linuxmint here?
[04:13] <bulmer> jfanaia1: thats the trick, to get the kernel to include your wifi into that dir and all its supporting files
[04:13] <michaelpo> it's based on ubuntu... i had the same problem with ubuntu before...
[04:13] <michaelpo> !vcd
[04:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vcd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:13] <variant> michaelpo: so go ask in linuxmint's irc channels or forums
[04:14] <jfanaian_> bulmer: Well, how would I go about that?
[04:14] <bulmer> jfanaia1: you may have to look into /etc/init.d/networking and figure out how this scripts enable interfaces
[04:14] <jfanaian_> bulmer: Oh... Okay I will try to see what I can find
[04:15] <IdleOne> michaelpo, you probably need to install dvd codecs. check the forums for linuxmint. I dont know about linuxmint sorry
[04:15] <bulmer> jfaniian a lil difficult but..
[04:15] <michaelpo> ok
[04:15] <michaelpo> i will reread ubuntu manual
[04:16] <michaelpo> !multimedia

[04:17] <HymnToLife> Benjiboy0784, custom kernel ?
[04:17] <IdleOne> michaelpo, type /server irc.spotchat.org then /join #linuxmint.com
[04:17] <Benjiboy0784> no... i went into the help on the install and typed Boot: live acpi=off
[04:18] <jfanaian_> bulmer: So what you're saying is that I should try to figure out how this script loads an interface and try to manually load wlan0?
[04:18] <Sisodiya> hi
[04:19] <MagicRabbit> Ok - have read wireless. My wireless card is coming up as eth1 and wont let me do ifconfig stuff - says "SET failed on device eth1: Operation not permitted"
[04:19] <bulmer> jfanaian if you must ..do what it takes
[04:20] <HymnToLife> MagicRabbit, what kind of card is it ?
[04:20] <HymnToLife> you most likely need a firmware for it
[04:20] <MagicRabbit> It's one built into a Dell Inspiron 2200 - coming up as a Broadcom 4318
[04:21] <infidel_> anyone have a suggestion for an icon editor
[04:21] <Benjiboy0784> does it matter that im trying to install ubuntu on a seoerate partition?

[04:25] <likwidtek> so what's the difference between the "add and remove program" and synaptic
[04:26] <unska_> how can i enable global quickbuttons on totem?
[04:26] <MagicRabbit> I can see my card in the Network Configure but it always says diconnected. Is there a "Connect" button I'm overlooking?
[04:26] <ithaycu> How do I keep from having to reinstall the Nvidia binary driver everytime I reboot?
[04:26] <unska_> they work while totem is focused only
[04:29] <infidel_> IdleOne, yeah mini gimp
[04:30] <arphetic> Hi dudes, im getting anoyed by the retarded error message again which I cant remove :<
[04:30] <Eldox> hey

[04:30] <gumpish> Grrr... My desktop is 1600x1200 but my screen isn't. (If I move my mouse to the edge it scrolls.) What gives?
[04:31] <MagicRabbit> HymnToLife - How do I check if I have firmware installed... I thought firmware was on the card itself - if this basically drivers under Linux?
[04:31] <Eldox> anyone knows about a partition recovery program, i need to recover two documents from a NTFS partition. i would be very great full :D
[04:31] <ganda1f`> anyone know why wine apps don't see my printer ?
[04:32] <ganda1f`> all the docs say it should automatically add cups printers, but it's never worked for me
[04:32] <gumpish> Eldox:  TestDisk and PhotoRec are free software and worth a try.
[04:33] <Kyral> Eldox: Try the SystemRescue LiveCD
[04:33] <Eldox> tnx, i'll try testdisk :)
[04:34] <Baronvonbarbeque> ok, i have just installed, trying to get ubuntu to recognize my cd drive. any advice?

[04:35] <Baronvonbarbeque> yes i did.
[04:35] <Baronvonbarbeque> now i see a few things but no cd-drive.
[04:35] <bulmer> try   dmesg | grep cd

[04:37] <Baronvonbarbeque> ok, i found it in the device manager. i may be new to linux but i am far from new to computers
[04:38] <Kaso> ubuntu just died on me, grub failed with error 17 and now i'm on the LiveCD and i can't mount my root Partition, i wonder if anyone has any ideas?
[04:39] <Baronvonbarbeque> ok, here is the next idiot question. the button for my cd-drive is also broken is there any way i can get the computer to eject via command?
[04:39] <seraphim> sudo eject
[04:39] <seraphim> or right-klick the symbol on the desktop and choose eject
[04:39] <Benjiboy0784> how can i specify what partition i want to install ubuntu on?

[04:44] <noelferreira> ubuntu acrobat reader?
[04:44] <CrakeHunter> im searching for java support in my firefox. do i need to install it manually or is there a java package in synaptic?
[04:44] <noelferreira> lol
[04:44] <ahave> so it would be better fit for an mp3 server?
[04:44] <mthaddon> ahave: Xubuntu uses XFCE as the default window manager (more lightweight, less features) while Ubuntu uses Gnome
[04:44] <ahave> or would ubutnu-server
[04:44] <JDStone> ahave: use ubuntu server
[04:44] <JDStone> if you don't need a gui

[04:48] <CrakeHunter> uh just tried to install java from the repositories... and i got this: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/sun-java5-bin_1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
[04:49] <soundray> noelferreira: you have to enable multiverse and you have to be on i386
[04:49] <soundray> noelferreira: and let me point out that your reaction to slight's advice was incredibly rude
[04:49] <noelferreira> ah ok
[04:49] <ahmaru2> hey guy... how to get rid of firefox... i tryed to remove it but then error 127 occured

[04:50] <noelferreira> that's it
[04:50] <noelferreira> sorry
[04:50] <bulmer> CrakeHunter:  E:  ? you're in windows?
[04:50] <CrakeHunter> heh, no!
[04:50] <CrakeHunter> ubuntu :D
[04:50] <soundray> noelferreira: the forums have advice on how to install acroread32 on amd64.  Try 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if your NTFS partition is listed
[04:52] <soundray> Slaughterer: if it is, follow ubotu:

[04:54] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:54] <Slaughterer> using 'sudo fdisk -l' displays the hard drive

[04:56] <Kaso> the filesystem on my root partition seems to have become damaged, is there anything i can do other than format and reinstall ?

[04:56] <seraphim> !fsck
[04:56] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[04:57] <atomiku-linux> How can I get Enemy Territory to use a different sound device like AOSS so I can have ET and XMMS both playing sound at the same time?

[05:11] <padlefot> any way of making restrictions for internet use in firefox? say to only one specific web area? Im using Firefox with Ubuntu Linux
[05:11] <unop> vasco,  use the asoundconf utility -- i think asoundconf list
[05:11] <Lunar_Lamp> Enselic``, IBM traditionally does. System76 sells laptops with linux preinstalled./
[05:12] <Dr_willis> padlefot,   you could set up iptables rules, or check out some of the koisk mode plugins i guess
[05:12] <Cryoniq> Anyone with beryl where windows after last updates arent able to be moved, and no themes?
[05:12] <Dr_willis> padlefot,  or your own dns server/ or proxy
[05:12] <noelferreira> i people. how can i open a .fdf file with evince?
[05:12] <LjL> !beryl > Cryoniq    (Cryoniq, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:12] <infidel_> padlefot, you could use a proxy server and just allow that url

[05:12] <JaMiNkLe-> how can i force a resolution
[05:12] <ewaloe> hi people
[05:12] <Lunar_Lamp> Enselic``, there's several places on the internet that will sell laptops with linux pre-installed.
[05:13] <Enselic``> Lunar_Lamp: I'm not looking for preinstalled ones, just those with good drivers etc
[05:13] <Enselic``> Lunar_Lamp: the one I have now is not very good
[05:13] <padlefot> Dr_willis, infidel_; would it be hard to configure a proxy server? I have some network experience..
[05:13] <atomiku-linux> How can I get Enemy Territory to use a different sound device like AOSS so I can have ET and XMMS both playing sound at the same time?
[05:13] <oxigen> http://masterplanthemovie.com
[05:13] <Dr_willis> padlefot,  proberly not. :)  but it depends on how locked down/paranoid you want to be i guess.
[05:13] <infidel_> padlefot, it's not hard to setup
[05:13] <vasco> unop, hmm, sound was muted :(, i'll reboot my machine without noapci
[05:13] <vasco> brb
[05:13] <Lunar_Lamp> Enselic``, well, IBM would be a good place to start looking though http://www.linux-laptop.net/ might be a place to look for compatibility of a model you like.
[05:14] <padlefot> Dr_willis; hehe.. im not sure yet
[05:14] <Dr_willis> atomiku-linux,  check the command line optionms for the game.. its so old. it may not have many sound options
[05:14] <Lunar_Lamp> Enselic``, or here: http://www.linux.org/hardware/laptop.html
[05:14] <padlefot> infidel_: tips&tricks?
[05:14] <padlefot> should i use Ubuntu, or would XP be easier?
[05:14] <padlefot> i have a ton of old computers donated to me
[05:15] <atomiku-linux> Dr_willis: i dont believe it does.
[05:15] <infidel_> padlefot, i would use linux, i'm assuming that all the pc's are networked together right?

[05:18] <geem> been trying to get a new server up
[05:18] <geem> the ubuntu machine
[05:18] <bjorn> I'm running a dual boot with ubuntu and suse. Currently suse is controlling my grub (as I understand it). Before removing suse therefore I would like to put ubuntu back in control. Anyone know a good way of doing this?
[05:19] <JaMiNkLe-> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh ahh thats what i was looking for
[05:19] <geem> all i got to do is fig out permissions to modify apache2 folder
[05:19] <Enselic``> Is there a place to globally set bigger fonts? including in apps?
[05:19] <geem> sweet
[05:19] <atomiku-linux> Kaso: lol use mirc on wine or something
[05:19] <geem> i am getting out thru the router and everything now
[05:19] <Kaso> ha
[05:19] <unop> bjorn,  install and configure grub within ubuntu
[05:19] <Dr_willis> bjorn,  read the grub docs/web site - and check that ubuntu has the proper grub configs, then rerun the grub-install script
[05:19] <atomiku-linux> im currently on mirc right now, using wine
[05:19] <atomiku-linux> its pretty good
[05:19] <Skew-_> how do i list a folder on my desktop? i tried: ls ~/desktop/school but it didn't work

[05:20] <Skew-_> is the terminal case sensitive?
[05:20] <atomiku-linux> yes
[05:20] <Skew-_> ooh
[05:20] <Skew-_> thanks
[05:20] <atomiku-linux> :P
[05:20] <unop> Skew-_,  you can always tab complete ~/D<Tab> ...
[05:20] <Crescendo> How can I force close an application without the command line?
[05:20] <geem> so i am a bit lost
[05:20] <unop> Skew-_,  everything on nix should be assumed to be case sensitive
[05:20] <ahmaru2> it is just since this morning that i try to make ububntu working but after 7 hours i couldn manage...
[05:20] <geem> do i have to do edits thru the terminal window
[05:20] <geem> ?
[05:21] <Dr_willis> Crescendo,  make a script to run xkill and make an icon for it.
[05:21] <geem> i cant log on as root
[05:21] <geem> ?
[05:21] <unop> geem, try this command - sudo -s
[05:21] <Dr_willis> !entyer
[05:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about entyer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:21] <Skew-_> yay it worked, thanks the help
[05:21] <LjL> Crescendo: try gnome-system-monitor perhaps, it should be somewhere in the menu
[05:21] <Dr_willis> !enter
[05:21] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:21] <Crescendo> Dr_willis, so I can't CTRL+SHIFT click the window and then kill it.... :/
[05:21] <EdgEy> is there a package to add rar support to fileroller
[05:21] <geem> whats that do?
[05:21] <Crescendo> LjL, yeah, I just can't figure out waht program it is
[05:21] <Dr_willis> Crescendo,  there are some window managers with some features lijke that i guess.. never tried.
[05:21] <Crescendo> It's two "deleting files" windows
[05:21] <geem> unop
[05:21] <Dr_willis> Crescendo,  i just use a terminal and xkill.
[05:21] <unop> EdgEy,  afaik, it uses it if you install rar and unrar
[05:21] <Crescendo> And they're just hanging there
[05:22] <Crescendo> I don't know what program they are, though
[05:22] <Dr_willis> Crescendo,  or use the terminal and the 'kill' command.
[05:22] <unop> geem,  sudo -s  gives you a root terminal there
[05:22] <EdgEy> thanks unop, i'll try that
[05:22] <geem> yes
[05:22] <geem> but then
[05:22] <Crescendo> How can I find out what program they are?
[05:22] <unop> !enter | geem
[05:22] <ubotu> geem: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:22] <geem> i  have to edit the file in terminal window?
[05:22] <EdgEy> yep seems to work. :)
[05:22] <geem> or make the switch?
[05:22] <LjL> Crescendo: can't help sorry, i'm on KDE
[05:22] <Crescendo> LjL, s'okay. :/
[05:23] <unop> geem,  please try and keep all your conversation on one long line like this so that people can keep track of it :)
[05:23] <geem> yes i am sorry
[05:23] <Crescendo> How can I figure out what program a certain window is in GNOME?
[05:23] <unop> geem,  you can use your favourite editor -- try typing  gedit in the root terminal
[05:23] <geem> ok
[05:24] <geem> i already got locked out of the other machine my messing with permissions
[05:24] <LjL> Crescendo: i don't know -- but i've previously tried to find out about that, and i couldn't find an answer. so perhaps it just can't be done
[05:24] <geem> thanks
[05:24] <Crescendo> LjL, Linux fails on the simple things, yet again. :/  Though, I'm a Linux fan, and I use it as my personal computer.  It's little things like this that make it an irritation
[05:25] <ntbnnt> hey, quick question, i try to makefile and get "/lib/modules/2.6.15-28-686/build" no such dir, any suggests?
[05:25] <LjL> Crescendo: well, why do you need to know that, anyway?
[05:25] <LjL> Crescendo: to know which program to kill?
[05:26] <Crescendo> LjL, a "deleting files" window or two hung.
[05:26] <xfab> hi there
[05:26] <Galego_Kun> hi
[05:26] <LjL> Crescendo: if you just click on the Close button a couple of times, won't a dialog come up asking if you want to terminate it? in KDE, it's like that
[05:26] <Crescendo> LjL, nope - clicked the X button for many many times, nothing, no force quit window
[05:26] <LjL> Crescendo: there's probably also some panel applet called "killsomething" or similar, that allows you to just click on a window and have the app killed, IIRC
[05:26] <Galego_Kun> how can i chosse channels?
[05:27] <LjL> (which would mean, on second thoghts, that there *is* a way to know what process a window belongs to..)
[05:27] <unop> Crescendo,  well, its just the constraints of your environment and circumstances -- a driver who just got a ferrari after driving a beemer for 10 years is going to say "wow, i love this .. but errm, i wish i could go from A to B or pull more birds" .. it's all an art, a know-how, a lifestyle, etc and it all comes in time :)
[05:27] <ahmaru2> hi... today everybody is hungry with me bacause i am here since this morning trying to make ubuntu 5.10 working on my laptop but i cant.... can anybody help me?

[05:27] <JaMiNkLe-> ok so i restarted x now i am just at some screen with a blinking _
[05:27] <jfanaia1> ahmaru2: Why are you using 5.1?
[05:27] <JaMiNkLe-> for about 5 mins
[05:27] <xfab> I've got a little question about kernel kompiling
[05:27] <jfanaia1> ahmaru2: Just curiosity =\ lol
[05:27] <Crescendo> unop, Ubuntu's goal is freedom - and while I'd like to also point out Torvalds' goal of ruling the world - it isn't going to happen, ever, when simple functions aren't available.
[05:28] <Crescendo> Easily, at least
[05:28] <unop> Crescendo,  what "simplicity" are you seeking?
[05:28] <xfab> I've compiled a kernel on ubuntu Breezy and tried to start it, but right after the start, the booting stops
[05:28] <Crescendo> unop, the ability to close a window
[05:28] <xfab> what have I done wrong?
[05:29] <unop> Crescendo,  xkill and point in window :)
[05:29] <Galego_Kun> hi
[05:29] <unop> Crescendo,  point and click, i.e.
[05:29] <unop> Crescendo,  and it wasnt just torvalds who got the phenomenon of GNU/Linux going .. he was just one of the many thousands
[05:29] <ahmaru2> jfanaial because i got this cd I am in turkey, so it is difficoult to get 6.10 cd and I can not dawnload the upgrade from the upgrade thing, this is one of the 3 programs i cant solve since this morning
[05:30] <xfab> I someone here, who's good at kompiling kernels?
[05:30] <xfab> *is
[05:30] <Cyrus25801> i am having problems with firefox. it is haning and after 5 min it comes right then hangs again.
[05:30] <Crescendo> Yeah, so I'm going to just reload GNOME to make these windows go away.
[05:30] <Crescendo> :/
[05:30] <Crescendo> Apparently Windows has a "Switch To" feature in their system monitor
[05:31] <Crescendo> :/
[05:31] <xfab> Cyrus25801: you've tried to reinstall firefox?
[05:32] <unop> I dont crescendo actually checked the gnome-system-monitor close up
[05:32] <xfab> does anybody hear me? test
[05:32] <PriceChild> xfab, hey
[05:32] <xfab> was just a test ^^
[05:33] <Cyrus25801> xfab: ok any other ideas
[05:33] <JaMiNkLe-> how do i start x from shell
[05:33] <LjL> JaMiNkLe-: startx
[05:33] <xfab> PriceChild: hey there ^
[05:33] <unop> JaMiNkLe-,  gksudo gdm
[05:33] <xfab> Cyrus25801: didn't work?
[05:33] <LjL> JaMiNkLe-: or sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart, if you want the login screen
[05:33] <LjL> unop: eeew, why not start it with the proper script? :P
[05:34] <unop> LjL,  it's effectively the same thing :p
[05:34] <JaMiNkLe-> heh they both dont work
[05:34] <jfanaia1> I don't know what to try anymore, my wireless is not showing up in ifconfig but ndiswrapper says it is loaded. When I do lsmod ndiswrapper shows up on there too. What else could I try?
[05:34] <unop> JaMiNkLe-,  do you use kubuntu?
[05:34] <JaMiNkLe-> gksudo gdm says cant open display
[05:34] <JaMiNkLe-> ubuntu
[05:34] <LjL> JaMiNkLe-: then your xorg.conf is broken i guess
[05:34] <Mena> How to play 3gp files
[05:35] <seraphim> is the nvidia-driver /module problem fixed?
[05:35] <unop> JaMiNkLe-,  did you try - sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart  ?
[05:35] <xfab> Mena: you tried mplayer?
[05:35] <Mena> yes
[05:35] <Mena> didnt work
[05:35] <xfab> Mena: otherwise you could use realplayer, I'm quite sure, that it supports this format
[05:35] <JaMiNkLe-> yeah
[05:35] <unop> jfanaia1,  you sure its not listed -- ifconfig -a
[05:35] <facugaich> Mena: google "play 3gp ubuntu" and you'll get some tuts
[05:35] <JaMiNkLe-> ill try detect the gfx again
[05:35] <Cyrus25801> xfab: will try and get back to you
[05:36] <xfab> Cyrus25801: ok
[05:36] <s0undt3ch> while trying to compile my kernel I keep getting /lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: File format not recognized
[05:36] <Svish> !mjpeg
[05:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mjpeg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:36] <Mena> xfab, okay
[05:36] <unop> JaMiNkLe-,  are you installing something like nvidia or ati drivers?
[05:36] <ahmaru2> anybody know how to increase monitor resolution?
[05:36] <xfab> Is anybody here, who could help me with my kernel building problem?
[05:36] <Mena> facugaich, okay
[05:36] <s0undt3ch> xfab: what's your prob? like mine?
[05:36] <xfab> ahmaru2: yes, 1. install proper drivers
[05:36] <unop> ahmaru2,  gnome-display-properties
[05:36] <JaMiNkLe-> no.. i just installed ubuntu and my resoslution was crazy
[05:36] <morgWork> *yawn*
[05:37] <morgWork> sup guys
[05:37] <lanny> ol
[05:37] <unop> JaMiNkLe-,  do you know what changes you've made?
[05:37] <xfab> ahmaru2: then Settings -> Monitor Resolution
[05:37] <seraphim> is the nvidia-driver /module problem fixed?
[05:37] <|rms|> gOLdenHaWK3D, hey man
[05:37] <gsyfjrm> olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[05:37] <Svish> guess I shouldnt ask programming questions here.. where should I do that?
[05:37] <ahmaru2> xfab where is gnome?
[05:38] <morgWork> anyone know how to get apt-get install libnss-ldap to NOT prompt for configuration? -y, -qq, and --force-yes don't seem to have much effect.
[05:38] <xfab> ahmaru2: you've installed ubuntu right?
[05:38] <unop> Svish,  well, whats the matter, we can direct you on if we know
[05:38] <JaMiNkLe-> even sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart dies
[05:38] <jrib> Svish: ##c for c, #python for python, etc...
[05:38] <xfab> ahmaru2: the windowmanager you're using is called gnome then
[05:38] <finalbeta> How do I start a bash file non blocking? I mean ./test.sh will block until executed. In windows I could use start. what can I use in bash?
[05:39] <jrib> finalbeta: append &
[05:39] <xfab> ahmaru2: you just got to go to System -> Settings -> Monitor Resolution
[05:39] <unop> finalbeta,  send it to the background --
[05:39] <finalbeta> damn, right. I knew that :p.
[05:39] <ntbnnt> wooo
[05:39] <finalbeta> lols, converting is confusing. thnx
[05:39] <aoupi> a question about background, if I hit ctrl+z will the app continue running or will it pause untill I bring it up again?
[05:39] <xfab> could someone help me with my kernel problem? (booting freezes right after the start)
[05:40] <lanny> ol galera
[05:40] <madprobe> gOLdenHaWK3D, hey man
[05:40] <jrib> aoupi: pause, but you can use the 'bg' command to resume it in the background.  Google for "shell job control linux"
[05:40] <aoupi> jrib: oh didn't know about 'bg', thanks
[05:40] <jrib> aoupi: 'jobs' and 'fg' are two other usefull ones...
[05:40] <lanny> oiiii
[05:41] <aoupi> jrib: yea I know them, 'jobs -l' was very useful to get the PID when I didn't know about fg :)
[05:41] <monitor_> ol pesoal
[05:41] <ahmaru2> xfab... ah ok :-) but where is diplay... sorry but i am using the italian version...
[05:42] <jrib> aoupi: to work with jobs you don't need PID btw, you can refer to them with job numbers.  Like  fg %2  will foreground job 2
[05:42] <gh0st> hey, how can i SYNCHRONISE two folders (while the first folder isn't changed, but the second is updated so that it's exactly like the first)?
[05:42] <xfab> ahmaru2: what you mean exactely by display? ^
[05:42] <aoupi> jrib: I see
[05:42] <xfab> ^^
[05:42] <bjdiei> How reliable is upgrading to Breezy to Dapper?
[05:43] <ahmaru2> xfab if it is the window called monitor resolution I would like to change it more then this...
[05:43] <jrib> bjdiei: wfm fine, but you should always have backups anyway.  It can be 99.99% reliable but you still don't want to be taht .01% and not have backups
[05:43] <ahmaru2> xfab you wrote this gnome-display-properties
[05:43] <NewNeo> #ubuntu-it
[05:43] <NewNeo> sorry
[05:43] <NewNeo> :
[05:44] <fr0g> hello people
[05:44] <xfab> could someone help me with my kernel problem, please?
[05:45] <padlefot> any good proxy servers (with GUI) in linux?
[05:45] <JaMiNkLe-> ahhhh it wont redetect my gfx just keeps taking me back to the reconfi screen
[05:45] <adinsx> jesus this is a crowded channel!
[05:46] <ntbnnt> xfab: what's up
[05:46] <arphetic> Hiya, since today I have some strange error on Azureus, http://paste.debian.net/21861 for the error logfile thing. What should I do?
[05:46] <padlefot> what I really meant was is there any good proxy servers in the ubunbu resps?
[05:47] <xfab> hey ntbnnt
[05:47] <xfab> ntbnnt: I try to solve my kernel building problem
[05:47] <ntbnnt> xfab: what's goin' on in your box
[05:48] <kmaynard> padlefot, http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=proxy&searchon=names&subword=1&version=edgy&release=all
[05:48] <adinsx> I have a simple problem with Gnome in Ubuntu, but im not sure how to phrase it.  I would like to set Gnome so that it dosn't animate windows until i select a place to move them to
[05:48] <kmaynard> padlefot, squid and tinyproxy are good
[05:48] <adinsx> im using open source drivers and the animation isnt smooth
[05:49] <bjdiei> Anyone here have experience upgrading breezy to Dapper?
[05:49] <kmaynard> been a long time
[05:49] <ntbnnt> kmaynard: have you played with just the desktop prefs
[05:49] <NetCruZa> Just installed Compiz, and it works great... But I can't get gnome-compiz-preferences to work, whenever i try to run it i get these errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5586/
[05:49] <variant> adinsx: what graphics card is it?
[05:49] <adinsx> Mobility radeon 9000, isn't covered by the proprietary ati drivers
[05:49] <kmaynard> ntbnnt, huh?
[05:49] <adinsx> they probably wouldnt work much better, its 3d accelerated atleast
[05:49] <xfab> ntbnnt: I'm using v6.10 ubuntu, kernel-version 2.6.17 (ubuntu)
[05:49] <adinsx> it would just be nice if it would only animate windows when i find a place ot move them to
[05:49] <ntbnnt> kmaynard: what animations are you wanting to disable
[05:50] <variant> adinsx: strange, i have a radeon 7000 igp with the open drivers and it works very smoothly
[05:50] <variant> adinsx: you are using aiglx right?
[05:50] <kmaynard> ntbnnt, none, i never said anything about animations
[05:50] <adinsx> its pretty smooth dont get me wrong
[05:50] <xfab> ntbnnt: I kompiled everything and added the kernel with dpkg
[05:50] <variant> adinsx: and edgy not dapper?
[05:50] <padlefot> cheers, I need some help, I'm using ubuntu for six computers at a sporting event, so people can see the scores from the games on my website. Whats the best way of restricting the OS/Internet to just one web-area??
[05:50] <ntbnnt> xfab: yea, but whats the problem
[05:50] <adinsx> um, im not sure how would i check
[05:50] <adinsx> 6.10
[05:50] <variant> yeah edgy
[05:50] <ntbnnt> kmaynard: my bad, i must have read wrong :(
[05:50] <xfab> ntbnnt: after I tried to boot the new kernel and it crashed right after I select it in grub
[05:50] <padlefot> anybody formiliar for approx?
[05:50] <Hub441> did anyone manage to boot the xubunut-cd via network/pxe?
[05:50] <kmaynard> np
[05:51] <ntbnnt> xfab: you got another kernel to boot to?
[05:51] <padlefot> or the anon-proxy server?
[05:51] <xfab> ntbnnt: there is also some text, before it crashes, but I can't read it, it's to fast
[05:51] <variant> adinsx: I have only really used beryl.. it has a settings manager. I don't know how compiz handles that sort of thing
[05:51] <xfab> ntbnnt: yea, I've got my standart ubuntu kernel
[05:51] <adinsx> i followed a guide to get the radeon drivers installed and they work pretty well
[05:51] <adinsx> beryl?
[05:51] <xfab> I logged in with this one actually
[05:51] <adinsx> hmm
[05:51] <variant> adinsx: an alternative to compiz
[05:51] <ntbnnt> xfab: for the text, you could try your system pause button - works on some comps
[05:51] <adinsx> im not familar with either of those, lemme look them up really quick
[05:51] <variant> adinsx: if you are using radoen 9000 then you already hav ethe drivers installed.. you shouldnt have to follow a guid
[05:52] <kmaynard> padlefot, are you looking for an anonymizer or something?
[05:52] <ntbnnt> xfab: try getting to that GRUB menu and boot to a previous kernel
[05:52] <variant> adinsx: please show me what guide you followed to isntall the driver
[05:52] <bjdiei> jrib: Have you done an upgrade in Ubuntu?
[05:52] <xfab> ntbnnt: i can't see an error, just the splashscreen with a little bit orange in it
[05:52] <adinsx> um, i dont remember, it was in the official ubuntu wiki i think
[05:52] <xfab> ntbnnt:  if this helps you
[05:52] <variant> padlefot: I already told you how to do it but you ignored me
[05:52] <ntbnnt> xfab: hmmm, have you done a reinstall
[05:52] <xfab> ntbnnt: I booted the previous kernel, it's all working, just the new one isn't
[05:52] <yann__> join #debian-mirror
[05:53] <ntbnnt> okay
[05:53] <xfab> ntbnnt: I'm writing from this machine to you
[05:53] <fiftykps> can someone please tell me how to change the default runlevel of ubuntu 6.10 workstation install, now that the /etc/inittab file is gone?
[05:53] <adinsx> 2
[05:53] <adinsx> i believe
[05:53] <ntbnnt> xfab: go with the previous one
[05:53] <xfab> ntbnnt: but I wanted to kompile a kernel that is more efficient
[05:53] <ntbnnt> xfab: err, ubuntu doesn't like custom kernels
[05:53] <xfab> ntbnnt: that's why I wanted to compile one
[05:53] <adinsx> also ya i thought i was just crazy or i was remembeing wrong... why did they get rid of the inittab file :(
[05:53] <variant> padlefot: you don't need a proxy server. just use your firewall as i described. if you don't have a firewall then install firestarter (apt-get install firestarter) and block all ports accept http
[05:54] <xfab> ntbnnt: sure?
[05:54] <variant> padlefot: and also only allow http to that one site
[05:54] <adinsx> oh im pretty sure my xwindow system isnt hardware accelerated, i should check this out
[05:54] <adinsx> (looking at compiz wiki right now)
[05:54] <variant> adinsx: it is
[05:54] <adinsx> o
[05:54] <xfab> ntbnnt: is there a reason why ubuntu doesn't like customs?
[05:54] <ntbnnt> xfab: im sure, tried myself several times and even let someone ssh my box and try
[05:54] <variant> adinsx: run glxinfo | grep direct
[05:54] <adinsx> k
[05:54] <xfab> ntbnnt:  I see
[05:54] <ntbnnt> xfab: it's just ubuntu
[05:54] <variant> adinsx: your looking for a "yes"
[05:55] <xfab> ntbnnt: on Gentoo the kernel I compiled worked pretty good
[05:55] <xfab> but that was on another pc
[05:55] <adinsx> got a yes
[05:55] <ntbnnt> xfab: stock kernels for ubuntu isn't soo bad
[05:55] <variant> adinsx: then you have 3d accelleration
[05:55] <Wanderer> anyone know how to make a system renew it's dhcp lease any time a network cable is unplugged and re-plugged?
[05:55] <xfab> ntbnnt: but it's a bit slow I thought
[05:55] <ntbnnt> xfab: werid things like touchscreen for compaq computers are enabled, but hey
[05:55] <s0undt3ch> dam, why am I getting /lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: File format not recognized
[05:55] <adinsx> but is the gnome using it to animate the desktop?  I have 3d acceleration on my windows machine but it dosnt use it for the desktop
[05:55] <LjL> fiftykps: you can still use /etc/inittab for setting the default runlevel. that's the only think that inittab is checked for. there's probably a "better" way though
[05:55] <LjL> !upstart
[05:55] <ubotu> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[05:55] <s0undt3ch> with make menuconfig!?!?!?
[05:55] <xfab>  ntbnnt yea ^^
[05:56] <Svish> jrib: trying to find out how I can program a tool in c or java that merges jpegs into a mjpeg
[05:56] <_Freedom0_> Hello
[05:56] <LjL> fiftykps: let me find the script that checks for the inittab default runlevel...
[05:56] <xfab> ntbnnt: support for a toshiba laptop :P
[05:56] <ntbnnt> xfab: you might just go with dstraight debian, it loves customs and
[05:56] <fiftykps> LjL: thank you
[05:56] <IVANWEJAR> hola
[05:56] <ntbnnt> xfab: you almost need a custom to work in debian
[05:56] <_Freedom0_> could someone help me with downlloading cvs files as i cant connect via my modem
[05:57] <xfab> ntbnnt: how do you mean exactely?
[05:57] <jtinney> I've been having some trouble with the nvidia drivers and X, I didn't in Dapper, but now I get an error on start up after i install nvidia-glx and then run nvidia-xconfig, that itself yields no errors, it successfully modifies xorg.conf and even has the driver name as 'nvidia', but x will not start and i have to resort to a backup
[05:57] <xfab> ntbnnt: is it otherwise so slow?
[05:57] <lolman> Bit of help needed, I have 2 rather small hard disks (a 3.2GB and a 4.3GB) and want to combine them, either using LVM or software RAID. I was just wondering: how would I get such a partition booting?
[05:57] <jtinney> i'm looking for some 3d support, because even dragging windows and scrolling is very jerky
[05:57] <LjL> fiftykps: the file is /etc/event.d/rc-default -- if you look at it, you'll see that it just greps for "initdefault" in inittab and, if it's there, uses "telinit" to set the runlevel..
[05:58] <ntbnnt> xfab: well, not really, but you will run into strange errors and some boards just don't like debain
[05:58] <fiftykps> ok, cool, thanks
[05:58] <_Freedom0_> could someone help me with downlloading cvs files as i cant connect via my modem i need it from this :cvs -d:ext:anoncvs@cvs.infradead.org:/home/cvs co -D 2006-01-17 usbatm
[05:58] <xfab> ntbnnt: hmm... that sounds like a lot of problems ^^
[05:59] <ntbnnt> xfab: that's y im on ubuntu now
[05:59] <xfab> ntbnnt: but thank you anyway
[05:59] <xfab> ntbnnt:  I see :)
[05:59] <ntbnnt> xfab: ubuntu is nice, and its debain based
[05:59] <_Freedom0_> ?
[05:59] <variant> adinsx: as you said before, you are using compiz so yes
[05:59] <variant> i'm offski
[06:00] <Jimmey> I connected my laptop and my Desktop together using a xover cable and a setup I've had work previously, and I get "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted" - What's wrong?
[06:00] <Jimmey> "
[06:00] <adinsx> well ok...
[06:00] <xfab> ntbnnt:  can I ask you one last question? :D
[06:00] <archangelpetro> can anyone tell me how i'd get the man pages for syscalls? (which package do i install for them?)
[06:00] <_Freedom0_> anyone?
[06:00] <ntbnnt> xfab: sure
[06:00] <majortom> if i wanted to use the s-video out on a graphics card, would i have to configure anything special? or would it "just work"?
[06:01] <xfab> ntbnnt: if you run xfce (xubuntu), how fast are gnome and kde-programms on it?
[06:01] <Zta> Any experts who can help me understand a new things about ivman?
[06:01] <latz> hi how do you add services to startup?
[06:01] <xfab> ntbnnt: because if you start a kde app on gnome it's quite slow
[06:02] <ntbnnt> xfab: i noticed no difference with my comp (duo, 2ghz, 2gb ram, 256 ati card)
[06:02] <freezey> i have all these conf files that are now labeled as executables but shouldn't be how do i change that?
[06:02] <ntbnnt> xfab: i like gnome; you can still run kde prgms
[06:03] <xfab> ntbnnt: I like gnome too, but I tried amarok and it's quite cool
[06:03] <ntbnnt> yea
[06:03] <xfab> ntbnnt: perhaps I should try xmms ^^
[06:03] <xfab> ntbnnt: but thank you again for your support :-)
[06:03] <ntbnnt> xfab: np, thanks, nice chatting
[06:04] <jtinney> latz: In Ubuntu, go to System > Preferences > Sessions, then go to the Startup Program Tab and you can add a start up entry from there
[06:04] <xfab> ntbnnt: you've really spared me some trouble (trying to getting the kernel to work
[06:04] <xfab> ntbnnt: yea, have a nice evening
[06:04] <latz> jtinney, kay ... that's fine for the desktop but how do you do it on console? cause I need both solutions
[06:04] <latz> :)
[06:04] <xfab> ntbnnt:  (got to go reading a book for school :-/)
[06:05] <ntbnnt> xfab: just go with stock, unless you have gentoo, debain, etc.
[06:05] <xfab> ntbnnt: ok, I see
[06:05] <jtinney> latz: You got me there, I'm newish. I'm having trouble this time around getting X to work with the nvidia-glx drivers and my GeForce 4 Ti4200
[06:05] <ntbnnt> xfab: fedora, solaris don't like customs either
[06:05] <xfab> ntbnnt: good to know
[06:06] <ntbnnt> xfab: have a nice evening, yea
[06:06] <zAi> i have redhat dictro and want to dual box ubuntu. ir order to do it, i need just to change / to something like /root ?
[06:06] <xfab> ntbnnt: thank you and cu
[06:06] <xfab> cu guys
[06:06] <jtinney> ntbnnt: are you any good with getting nvidia 3d support going?
[06:06] <latz> jtinney, kay but it would be nice knowing that......
[06:06] <fiftykps> in 6.10, runlevel is telling me its in runlevel 2, while x and gnome is running, how is this possible?
[06:06] <_Freedom0_> LjL

[06:07] <jtinney> ntbnnt: it is a Gainward GeForce 4 Ti4200
[06:07] <petal> sorry, dumb question: What's the command again to bring up the gnome-config-editor? I tried to google it but couldn't come up with a correct keyword... Sorry!
[06:07] <latz> lol and that's how you get your questions answered by answering (or at least try to) other questions first!
[06:07] <Jimmey> jtinney, sudo apt-get install nvidia-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[06:07] <Jimmey> jtinney, no, that's wrong.

[06:09] <ntbnnt> jtinney: okay
[06:09] <Jimmey> jtinney, you have to enable the multiverse repository
[06:09] <Jimmey> !repos
[06:09] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource

[06:10] <jtinney> ntbnnt: Excellent, thank you very much for all of your help.
[06:10] <Jimmey> jtinney, then sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search linux-restricted-modules-($uname -r)
[06:10] <sdac1> Agrajag:  ok thanks
[06:10] <latz> ehum another question ... is it possible to disable tooltips on gnome? and if yes how?
[06:10] <jtinney> Jimmey: standby, running now
[06:10] <_Freedom0_> hi !
[06:10] <jtinney> latz: Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I tried to google it for you but came up empty.
[06:10] <latz> same here
[06:11] <_Freedom0_> Could someone help me for downloading this :cvs -d:ext:anoncvs@cvs.infradead.org:/home/cvs co -D 2006-01-17 usbatm
[06:12] <sdac1> does anyone know if firefox stores that saved sessions (open tabs) ... is it on the root parition or in /home  ?  I need to format and reinstall ubuntu so i need to make sure i can recover these open tabs
[06:12] <freezey> whats the number code to make things just read and write not executable
[06:12] <jhall> hey, i booted into ubuntu this morning and my wireless network settings were gone (including no wlan0)... There was an additional kernel listing on bootup... there are 3 there now.... what happened?
[06:12] <LjL> _Freedom0_, excuse me?
[06:12] <ntbnnt> jtinney: this is a nice project going on right now https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/accelerated-x
[06:12] <jrib> !permissions | freezey
[06:12] <ubotu> freezey: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[06:12] <Jimmey> sdac1, in /home/user/.mozilla
[06:12] <kbrosnan> sdac1: ~/.mozilla
[06:12] <_Freedom0_> lol ,where were you,!
[06:13] <iratik> I found a .pem file on my system - only its badly named and I have no clue which certificate it is -- is there a way to query the certificate to get its general info ?
[06:13] <_Freedom0_> LjL,please i need you to download for me a cvs file as i couldnt do it (i cant access to the net via my usb modem)
[06:14] <jtinney> ntbnnt: yes, it does, I will be very excited if 3d acceleration is enabled by default. It sure would save a lot of hassle.
[06:14] <LjL> _Freedom0_: err, if you can't access the net, how are you on IRC and how will i send it to you? :P anyway, giving me !msg the bot isn't a good way to get my attention. really.
[06:14] <atomiku-linux> What audio wrapper shall I use for enemy territory so I can get sound?
[06:14] <sdac1>  Jimmey and kbrosnan:  ok so everything is already saved.  great
[06:14] <jtinney> Jimmey: When I run the apt-cache command it just seems to execute and returns me back to the command prompt
[06:14] <ntbnnt> jtinney: hell yea!
[06:14] <jhall> what happened to my network settings?
[06:14] <_Freedom0_> LjL!its simple i connect via anotehr modem wich isnt a n USB!!huh!
[06:15] <_Freedom0_> im not using the dsl now!
[06:15] <LjL> _Freedom0_: then can't you get that CVS stuff from there?
[06:15] <sdfdsfdsfsdfddfg> hey, I need some help here
[06:15] <sdfdsfdsfsdfddfg> I'm having a Kernel Panic error, when I try to install the Edgy version...
[06:15] <Jimmey> jtinney, alright - are you sure that multiverse is enabled? What does "sudo less /etc/apt/sources.list | grep multiverse" say
[06:15] <_Freedom0_> im using windows ,and those cvs files are for my usb modem!dont worry!
[06:16] <iratik> _Freedom0_: the internet is interoperable between any type of connection device and any other type of connection device because it abides by a protocol - it doesn't matter if you are using usb modem - if it can connect to a website - it uses tcp/ip - therefore you can probably get the csv file you are looking for if you try
[06:16] <_Freedom0_> check this if u ont believ me http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/materiel/zxdsl852
[06:16] <jtinney> it lists ten entries with multiverse in them
[06:16] <Agrajag> _Freedom0_: Then why don't you just install cvs in windows and download the files?
[06:16] <jtinney> Jimmey ^
[06:17] <Jimmey> Alright
[06:17] <_Freedom0_> how i coan n im a newbie and using windows!!!!
[06:17] <_Freedom0_> euh i dont think windows could download cvs files!
[06:17] <Agrajag> _Freedom0_: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ I haven't used this, but I have used tortoiseSVN and it's pretty simple.
[06:17] <Jimmey> jtinney, what does "apt-cache search linux-restricted-modules-*" say
[06:18] <jtinney> Jimmey: You might kill me for not mentioning this sooner.. but my installation is an Ubuntu Edgy Server, then I installed ubuntu-desktop on top of that to get a GUI
[06:18] <_Freedom0_> i dont know how to use it sorry!i tried with it!
[06:18] <iratik> _Freedom0_: what do you need to do - and what are you running
[06:18] <Jimmey> jtinney, I don't think that'll make much of a difference, I could be wrong though
[06:18] <jtinney> Jimmey: Ok. I didn't think it would, but you never know.
[06:18] <_Freedom0_> i need these files for compiling a module for my modem as shown on this tuto http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/materiel/zxdsl852
[06:18] <aalhamad> is there a something close to metacafe for linux?
[06:18] <LjL> _Freedom0_: there's plenty of CVS clients for windows. anyway, i've downloaded it... here you are http://mega-file.net/file.php?file=c8f32c344528d06715c110b427f1272c
[06:19] <jtinney> Jimmey: It has a listing of linux-restricted-modules, is there one in particular I should look for?
[06:19] <aalhamad> metacafe will not display the vedios
[06:19] <iratik> _Freedom0_: alright ... why do you need to compile a file for your modem ?
[06:19] <Jimmey> jtinney, one for your kernel
[06:19] <sdfdsfdsfsdfddfg> hey I need some help installing my Edgy...
[06:19] <_Freedom0_> and as im newbie and i just using windows and i need to download them n compile it as wrtiiten on the tuto!
[06:19] <jtinney> Jimmey: Ok, how do I determine my kernel..? I guess I could check my GRUB file
[06:20] <sdfdsfdsfsdfddfg> I have a Kernel Panic error msg
[06:20] <_Freedom0_> tahts why i ased you for a hand!
[06:20] <Jimmey> jtinney, that's what uname -r does
[06:20] <jtinney> ah, alright
[06:20] <thianpa> One question. Why is that Knoppix and Mandriva can support mp3 codec on default but Ubuntu dont ??
[06:20] <iratik> _Freedom0_: okay.... arrete
[06:20] <therapy> sdfdsfdsfsdfddfg:  I thought you might need some help picking a nick
[06:20] <SurfnKDal> !wireless
[06:20] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:20] <sdfdsfdsfsdfddfg> lol

[06:20] <therapy> :-)
[06:20] <sdfdsfdsfsdfddfg> haaha yeah I had no idea, so I put this
[06:20] <sdfdsfdsfsdfddfg> my name is Joe

[06:21] <aalhamad> is there a something close to metacafe for linux? cuz meta cafe will not display videos before downloading them
[06:21] <iratik> il y a des instruction pour l'installer sans l'internet - pour quoi est vous ne les suivez pas si vous devez l'installer sur un boite sans l'internet ?
[06:21] <thianpa> Jimmey : Why dont they choose it? i mean its one of the most used Music Format in the world. Would that make it more popular ?
[06:21] <jhall> what would cause my wireless network settings to be lost after a reboot (i've been using wireless for MANY MONTHS)???
[06:21] <jtinney> Jimmey:  I have 2.6.17-11-server, which I didn't see in the apt-cache results, probably where my trouble lies..
[06:22] <iratik> i'm not sure if my french is as good as your english -- but ... why aren't you following the instructions for installing without the internet ?
[06:22] <_Freedom0_> iratik ,vous me comprenez pas ou quoi?j'ai dit jai besoin de connexion !! pour toi tu as un linux sans connexion c'est normal?
[06:22] <Jimmey> thianpa, it's closed source, Ubuntu ships completely open source - It's up to you whether you opt to use closed source stuff.
[06:23] <Jimmey> jtinney, try sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic
[06:23] <_Freedom0_> iratik i install ubuntu and its alright!but ghow do you think that i could use Linux withouta connection :s??!
[06:23] <Agrajag> Jimmey: it's not closed-source.
[06:23] <Agrajag> Jimmey: it's patented.

[06:27] <yasi8h> lap so that i can accsess it remotly
[06:27] <Flannel> tj_: it's no different than 1, you still have various partitions mounted places, except in your case, those partitions are on separate drives
[06:28] <yasi8h> i installed openssh-server and i can accsess it localy
[06:28] <Goldenphoenix> waxfactor: it's to use powermanagement for monitors
[06:28] <yasi8h> like from the box where the server was installed
[06:28] <yasi8h> but i can't accsess it from a another pc in the lan?
[06:28] <yasi8h> what can be the problem?
[06:28] <Flannel> yasi8h: You sure you have the ip correct?
[06:28] <iratik> alright .. bottom line ----   you can use linux without the internet -- just like you can use windows without the internet. if you would like the internet on your ubuntu box -- and are on your windows box right now.. please refer  to the instructions for downloading the cvs client in windows  and it will compile it for UNIX if you specify as instructed ... then you can also download the .bin file to upgrade the modem for compa
[06:28] <iratik> tibility and go on from there -- the instructions are right there
[06:28] <yasi8h> yea
[06:29] <yasi8h> when i sshd 192... it just stays there like its stuck or something
[06:29] <tj_> Flannel, I have 1 hd_a installed with dual boot win/ubuntu but other 2 hd_b&c installed via raid card. Not able to see them in ubuntu.
[06:29] <SurfnKDal> does anyone know a help page for the diffferent models of Wireless mini-PCI cards?
[06:29] <Baronvonbarbeque> does anyone have any idea why my sound could be not working?
[06:29] <yasi8h> it doesnt give me a error message or anything at all

[06:30] <JD|work> I'm getting a whole bunch of weird ATA errors
[06:30] <yasi8h> oh its giving some time out and connection refused errors?
[06:30] <JD|work> for example:
[06:30] <JD|work> ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/04 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/00/00
[06:30] <JD|work> and
[06:30] <JD|work> ATA1: command 0x25 timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x1
[06:30] <yasi8h> is it a firewall or something like that?
[06:30] <JD|work> what are these?
[06:30] <Flannel> yasi8h: check /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I guess it might be set to local lstening only, but it shouldn't be by default.
[06:30] <yasi8h> ok i check it
[06:30] <Flannel> tj_: ah, RAIDs.  you shouldve said so
[06:30] <Flannel> !raid | tj_
[06:30] <ubotu> tj_: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO

[06:30] <atomiku-linux> (when i use aoss et)
[06:31] <iratik> aalhamad: its a flash version issue - not an os issue
[06:31] <aalhamad> iratik, i didn't get you..
[06:31] <waxfactor2nd> Goldenphoenix: well i cant use more than 640*480
[06:31] <aalhamad> there is a metavafe for linux..
[06:31] <ikonone> hey i just downloaded ubuntu AND xubuntu(which I would prefer to install) but when I go to boot from the CD's I  keep getting the message corrupt kernel image on BOTH cd's
[06:32] <jtinney> Jimmey: I have returned. Should I try and run nvidia-xconfig now ?
[06:32] <tj_> Flannel, yes sorry,.... I forgot because they used to be easily detected by windows. So I ignored the fact that things need to be configured in linux
[06:32] <xst> Where do I get inkscape 0.45 for ubuntu?
[06:32] <Goldenphoenix> wasfactor2nd: nopaste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, please
[06:32] <aalhamad> but i want something that can display the videos before donwloading them.. metacafe for linx is doen with command lines
[06:32] <faemir> ikonone: try burning them again at the slowest speed possible
[06:32] <Jimmey> jtinney, have you got nvidia-glx installed?
[06:32] <iratik> http://www.metacafe.com/?
[06:32] <yasi8h> hey i dont see anything that says don't accept connections from the out side in the sshd configuration fiel
[06:32] <yasi8h> file...
[06:33] <faemir> ikonone: and also check the md5 sums
[06:33] <jtinney> Jimmey: I have installed it several times, but I can install again just in case.
[06:33] <estefania> hola
[06:33] <ikonone> faemir yeah i checked the sums and they both turned out correct
[06:33] <Jimmey> try "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable"
[06:33] <Baronvonbarbeque> can someone PLEASE help me figure out why i am getting no sound now that i am running ubuntu
[06:33] <ikonone> faemir which should mean they should work.... ill try reburning them...
[06:33] <Flannel> !sound | Baronvonbarbeque
[06:33] <ubotu> Baronvonbarbeque: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:33] <Goldenphoenix> ikonone: have you checked the sums of the cds?
[06:33] <faemir> ikonone: yup :)
[06:33] <jtinney> Jimmey: Unable to load nvidia kernel driver.
[06:33] <jtinney> nvidia-glx is installed.
[06:34] <ikonone> Goldenphoenix yup....
[06:34] <iratik> faemir: you aren't trying to rescue a broken system are you?
[06:34] <Jimmey> jtinney, does it say why?
[06:34] <tj_> Flannel, but you are suggesting I better install the HD's without a raid card to avoid fuss and trouble?
[06:34] <ikonone> k3b did it when I burned them, I had verify CD checked on both burns
[06:34] <faemir> iratik: um, why would i do that?
[06:34] <jtinney> Jimmey: It says Be Sure to have installed the nvidia driver for your kernel
[06:34] <faemir> iratik: be doing that*
[06:34] <jtinney> Jimmey: That is all it says.
[06:34] <Jimmey> jtinney, alright
[06:34] <iratik> well.. i ran into the same problem when a friend's windows installation abruptly stopped working
[06:35] <iratik> we tried boot disk after boot disk - i told him we could always try linux
[06:35] <ubuntujoop>
[06:35] <Goldenphoenix> ikonone: that's very strange
[06:35] <ikonone> yeah...
[06:35] <ikonone> i dont get it
[06:35] <iratik> turns out his fans were fried and his system couldn't keep anything straight in its head - i didn't matter what OS was running - a hardware failure
[06:36] <Jimmey> jtinney, maybe you need some different kernel modules - I don't know. I don't know whether it's trying the 386 ones
[06:36] <pjz> does the ubuntu livecd come with a repartitioner?
[06:36] <VincentMX> hi
[06:36] <Jimmey> pjz, yes
[06:36] <Flannel> tj_: I didn't say that.  That page gives RAID info.  You'll definately need the alternate CD though.
[06:36] <pjz> it can resize a winXP NTFS partition?
[06:36] <yell0w> hey guys which key do i hit to stop something like the command top ?
[06:36] <Flannel> yell0w: ctrl-C
[06:36] <Goldenphoenix> pjz: not safely
[06:36] <jtinney> Jimmey: Okay, it looks like in my grub list i have other kernels installed that I can boot in to, should I try that and if it works then I guess we would know it was the -server kernel giving us trouble ?
