[03:11] <ShackJack> pjz: No but you can get deb at getdeb.net ;)
[03:11] <d4rkmonkey> pjz, I hear the one on getdeb.net doesn't work well for some people
[03:11] <d4rkmonkey> pjz, you're better off compiling
[03:11] <NigelS> NemesisD: right that would explain it then, if ssh is timing out, try nc <router ip> 22
[03:11] <pjz> ShackJack: ohhhh, hrm.
[03:11] <chemturion> therethinker: I'll give that a try, so you say compiz fusion, for xgl?
[03:11] <pjz> d4rkmonkey: ah, okay.
[03:12] <NigelS> NemesisD: see whether you get a header for the server
[03:12] <d4rkmonkey> pjz, you can try the one off getdeb though, just when I looked at comments a bunch of people had problems with it
[03:12] <ShackJack> d4rkmonkey: I suppose - I haven't had issues on three machines ;)
[03:12] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, I've never used it, I just looked at comments ;)
[03:12] <therethinker> chemturion: I definantly like Compiz much more than Beryl, and I use it with emerald
[03:12] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, I just compiled :D
[03:12] <NemesisD> NigelS, just kind of sitting there doing nothing
[03:13] <NigelS> NemesisD: sounds like it's dropping traffic
[03:13] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, lol, its 3 commands in the terminal as long as you have all the needed packages ;)
[03:13] <NemesisD> NigelS, oh dear that sounds bad
[03:13] <ShackJack> d4rkmonkey: Like I said - lazy 3 commands > 2 clicks
[03:13] <NigelS> NemesisD: well it makes sense to not let people connect to a router from the outside usually.  You could portscan it to see if they've opened one for you
[03:14] <Bung0wa> Salutations
[03:14] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, nu uh! you didn't include mouse movements :P
[03:14] <slimz> is there a channel for avant window navigator?
[03:14] <NemesisD> NigelS, its the only way I could see connecting to the actual computer, they have but 1 internet connection
[03:14] <ShackJack> d4rkmonkey: IN that case 3 commands > 0 commands :)
[03:14] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, lol
[03:14] <Bung0wa> Upon trying to reinstall Tor, I get the following error:  Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).  Anyone familiar with this bug?
[03:15] <yosyp> hey guys i'm starting up and get this:
[03:15] <yosyp> X: cannot read /ext/X11/X symbolic link (Invalid argument), aborting.
[03:15] <yosyp> and X doens't start
[03:15] <CorpseCheese> ShackJack: What does it mean when an error window pops up telling you to run something as root?
[03:15] <gimpii> !compiz | gimpii
[03:15] <ShackJack> CorpseCheese: You append sudo to the beginning...
[03:15] <NigelS> NemesisD: yeah, it makes perfect sense. Most ppl here will be doing something similar but the fact that it's hanging implies that the router is dropping your traffic or the machine within their internal network is hanging
[03:15] <ShackJack> !sudo | CorpseCheese
[03:15] <ubotu> CorpseCheese: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:15] <therethinker> CorpseCheese: to sudo the last command, type: sudo !!
[03:15] <NigelS> Bung0wa: you need to tell us the relevant part of the msg, there should have been some error output before that
[03:16] <NemesisD> NigelS, fantastic, in fact i have a strong feeling that somebody didn't do their job and didn't set that port 22 to forward
[03:16] <thinlace> shackjack did you add that at the top or bottom of your startxgl?
[03:16] <ShackJack> thinlace: Bottom...
[03:16] <NigelS> NemesisD: that would be consistent with this yes :)
[03:16] <CorpseCheese> Thank you.
[03:16] <ShackJack> thinlace: Two lines I put in as one...
[03:16] <Bung0wa> I believe it's this: chown: cannot access `/var/run/tor': No such file or director
[03:16] <riz> i tried to update my ubuntu to 7.04 but it kept getting an error
[03:16] <NigelS> NemesisD: like I say, if they don't mind you could portscan the router
[03:17] <d4rkmonkey> riz, what error do you keep getting?
[03:17] <yiyok1> So I'm using Ubuntu x86, and of course, wine. I install both world of warcraft and of course the expansion into my computer with wine, I set my sound drivers with wine to be OSS only, I added the string variable into my registry, and I got an addon for WoW called "headon" which if I were able to even enter my account information to get in, I'd be able to change my video settings on linux.. Um.. I have 2Ghz, 1 gig of ram, for grap
[03:18] <Shador> Hi
[03:18] <therethinker> Everytime I try to use Gdebi, when I click install, it says that there can't be multiple package managers running, even if it's the first thing I do after a reboot
[03:18] <Shador> Ummm.... I just had a couple questions.
[03:18] <keen> the swap drive should be logical correct?
[03:18] <therethinker> Shador: Mmmhmmm?
[03:18] <riz> d4rkmonkey> Failed to fetch http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/dists/edgy/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
[03:19] <NigelS> Bung0wa: hmm, paste the whole output to  pastebin would be best
[03:19] <ShackJack> keen: Don't matter :)
[03:19] <d4rkmonkey> riz, did you add that repo yourself?
[03:19] <keen> ok =)
[03:19] <Bung0wa> NigelS, http://pastebin.com/d157437ee
[03:20] <Shador> I already have ubuntu installed, and I want to add MS-DOS 6.22 for a dual-boot system.  How is the best way to do this?
[03:20] <riz> d4rkmonkey> not sure, there are more than just that one
[03:20] <noldon> penguinistakc now its clean
[03:20] <ShackJack> Shador: You could run MS-Dos virtual machine so you don;t have to dual boot...
[03:20] <d4rkmonkey> riz, I'm not completly sure, but you might have added some repositories which the updater doesn't know what to do with. I'm kind of guessing though
[03:20] <Spiritual> thansen|laptop :D
[03:21] <Spiritual> thotypous :D
[03:21] <therethinker> Everytime I try to use Gdebi, when I click install, it says that there can't be multiple package managers running, even if it's the first thing I do after a reboot is there some flag I need to clear?
[03:21] <noldon> penguinistakc thanks for the help
[03:21] <Shador> Shack, I tried DosBox but - too slow.
[03:21] <ShackJack> Shador: Really? Wow...
[03:21] <Ominous> how can you run a command as root whenever you login?
[03:21] <preaction> !boot | Ominous
[03:21] <ubotu> Ominous: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[03:21] <ShackJack> Shador: If you have CPU that supports virtualization KVM built into kernel now -- good performance...
[03:21] <sapuro> keen are you still having problems installing ubuntu?
[03:22] <preaction> Ominous, are you sure you want login and not boot?
[03:22] <penguinistakc> Noldon no problem glad it worked!
[03:22] <keen> sapuro: i downloaded the alternate cd, things are going much smoother
[03:22] <Shador> Shack, I am not sure what that means, but I have ubuntu on an older machine (pentium 2)
[03:23] <keen> tho i know i will be having some problems in the near future because of my ati video card
[03:23] <sapuro> keen lol
[03:23] <sapuro> keen ahahah...I dont think so, i got an ati radeon xpress 200M and it worked fine right after installing
[03:24] <g2g591> wow 1046 people, must be LOTS of afks
[03:24] <ShackJack> Shador: Oh - then no :) here's dual boot guide - WIndows but same logic still applies... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?highlight=%28boot%29%7C%28dual%29
[03:24] <keen> sapuro i have a radeon x1400 mobile and wanna run compizfusion....soooo we'll see
[03:24] <fisiconuclear20> nosssa
[03:24] <Bung0wa> sapuro, Do you have 3D Accelleration?
[03:24] <NigelS> Bung0wa: was this from the ubuntu repos?
[03:24] <Bung0wa> NigelS, yes.
[03:24] <ShackJack> keen: I'm running that setup on notebook - runs great ;)
[03:25] <keen> shackjack, i'm really hoping for more battery life, vista is a powerhog
[03:25] <Ominous> preaction: well its mounting my windows drives so makes no difference
[03:25] <sapuro> keen humn, but I dont think ur gonna have problems, u dont use compizfusion, I just downloaded beryl and that's still pretty good :o
[03:25] <sapuro> BongOva yep
[03:25] <jd__> how do i know what driver my wireless card uses
[03:26] <ShackJack> keen: Unfortunately not much better with Linux/ATI driver - though I think there is tweak to make better (as graphics card runs full-tilt, I think)...
[03:26] <Paddy_EIRE> jd__: lspci
[03:26] <jd__> thank u
[03:26] <penguinistakc> Shador It is easier to set up DOS first, then run the Linux installer -- Grub should find it automatically
[03:26] <sapuro> fisiconuclear20 do you speak portuguese?
[03:26] <Paddy_EIRE> jd__: in terminal
[03:26] <preaction> Ominous, it does, but you'd prefer it be done at bootup i assume. that's something completely different from running a script, you use /etc/fstab
[03:26] <penguinistakc> Otherwise, you will get into it exactly like you would a Windows partition -- I think someone already posted a link to the dual-boot howto
[03:27] <keen> well, installiation is finished, lets see how this puppy runs
[03:27] <Ominous> preaction: ok , what do i do there
[03:27] <ztomic> question: I can play ISO images on one computer but not the other. What package my have been the difference? Feisty.
[03:27] <Meta4ical> Could anyone help me get my sapphire radeon x1550 working with fglrx drivers? I've been trying myself since yesterday but a newb only knows so much
[03:27] <sapuro> keen there is a guide on installing beryl in ATI cards :o, if u want it :o
[03:27] <jd__> uhh this is a laptop though
[03:27] <Meta4ical> I posted a thread on the ubuntuforums but it's still yet to recieve a reply, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513607
[03:27] <jd__> pcmia
[03:27] <preaction> Ominous, it might be better to use the Disks Manager to get them to auto mount, messing with /etc/fstab isn't for the faint of heart
[03:27] <Paddy_EIRE> how would I speed up my repos??
[03:27] <ztomic> my=may
[03:27] <Shador> Shack, that covers putting Ubuntu on where the other OS already exists.  I want to put MS-DOS on where ubuntu exists.  Penguin, I really don't want to have to reinstall Ubuntu (I just finshed downloading 288 MB worth of updates to it).  Is there another way?
[03:28] <keen> failed to start x server again, =(
[03:28] <penguinistakc> Shador DOS will have to be on your boot partition, as I recall, and I think it has a limit on the number of cylinders you can use for its partition (it has been a decade at least since I used MS-DOS in any form)
[03:28] <ChrisF-> Anybody know how I could change the look of pidgin?  I want the user names smaller and the list just more compact.  I don't see hwere I change the look in the preferences though
[03:28] <penguinistakc> Shador Gotta put the kid to bed, then we'll see what we can do.
[03:28] <jd__> paddy_eire im on a laptop
[03:28] <sapuro> keen is it dual booting that u want to do?or do u want to install only ubuntu?
[03:29] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah
[03:29] <jd__> that will list the driver
[03:29] <keen> sapuro, ubuntu only
[03:29] <Paddy_EIRE> jd__: yes
[03:29] <jd__> ok
[03:29] <keen> well i can log in, but only in text mode....how can i get the x-server working?
[03:29] <harrism> i have to say, not so impressed with the ubuntu
[03:29] <Paddy_EIRE> how can I get faster repos
[03:29] <therethinker> harrism: why?
[03:29] <harrism> is 7.04 known to be buggy?
[03:30] <harrism> goddam wireless

[03:32] <Paddy_EIRE> g2g591: there is a local server that mirrors that where faster than these and feisty detected them but the list ones in use now are too slo
[03:32] <sapuro> humn, I donno about configuring ur x server, but the best suggestion I can make is to reinstall ubuntu, but this time, insted of manual, try the option that says "guided installation :use largest continuous free space" that way you wont have to configure anything urself
[03:32] <Meta4ical> Could someone help me setup fglrx with my graphics card?
[03:32] <sapuro> keen I mean, u wont have to setup partitions
[03:32] <Pelo> jd__, thre is a difference between want and can ,  don'T dispair and check the forum you might find someting there
[03:32] <NigelS> Bung0wa: have you tried a dpkg --configure -a to see if it can complete the setup script
[03:32] <rockets> i can create files on the desktop i suppose

[03:33] <nbjayme> hello people.  i've seen effectv and freej that can do effects realtime.  is there a program that can do realtime effects on the current desktop screen? (much like xgl but without installing xgl)

[03:33] <Luke> Does anyone have any good guides on RAID-1 while preserving Ubuntu?
[03:33] <g2g591> pady: im not sure, id look and see if i could figure out something, but im installing something atm
[03:33] <NigelS> Bung0wa: failing that it seems to be complaining that tor isn't going.. which is odd. try if the conf doesn't work /etc/init.d/tor start && dpkg --configure -a
[03:33] <Shador> Hmmmm..... I get the feeling I did not do that right.
[03:33] <Pelo> nbjayme,  you can try asking in #ubuntu-effects
[03:33] <NigelS> Bung0wa: obv all this must be done as root
[03:34] <ztomic> Meta4ical: I know a little.
[03:34] <thinh> for ext HD what file format do i use ext2 or ext3?
[03:34] <rockets> use ext3
[03:34] <thinh> okey thanks
[03:34] <Pelo> thinh,  will you be needing to access the ext hdd from a windows computer ?
[03:34] <ShackJack> thinh: ext3 is best - unless you have to share with windows - fat32
[03:34] <penguinistakc> thinh I recommend ext3. It is much more robust than ext2
[03:34] <nbjayme> Pelo, thanks.  i'll do that.
[03:34] <thinh> use it with linux only
[03:34] <Bung0wa> NigelS, no that didn't do anything.
[03:34] <therethinker> YOu can use ext2fsd to mount your ext3 partitions
[03:35] <Pelo> thinh, ext3 then
[03:35] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Think you could try to assist me? ;p
[03:35] <sapuro> nbjayme aignxl

[03:36] <isaac_> im a noob at server
[03:36] <harrism> ?
[03:37] <ShackJack> isaac_: mkdir directory (sudo as required)
[03:37] <Pelo> isaac_,   sudo mkdir  /path
[03:37] <ztomic> Meta4ical: describe your problem. That way, if I don't know someone else may jump in.

[03:37] <justin420> can anybody tell me how to make my windows be able to shade on feisty using gnome?
[03:37] <ShackJack> justin420: Go to prefs -> Windows -- double click title bar
[03:37] <Pelo> justin420,  you will need to enable the desktop effects ,  ask in ubuntu-effects for more details
[03:38] <ShackJack> Pelo: justin420: (actually no effects required)
[03:38] <Paddy_EIRE> this repo is giving me trouble deb http://arsip.ubuntu-id.org/repo feisty contrib
[03:38] <Meta4ical> ztomic: I think it'd be better if I showed you my forum post, I spent a little more time organizing it there and I'm sure I explained it better -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513607

[03:39] <squidinkc> what does m-a mean? A howto guide has it in a command, but I don't seem to

[03:39] <alecwh> I just installed pure-ftpd
[03:39] <alecwh> how do I set up a user/access?
[03:39] <ShackJack> justin420: DOH Compiz Fusion crashed when I was shading :)
[03:40] <alecwh> !pure-ftpd > alecwh
[03:40] <justin420> ShackJack: i am using compiz, and shading is now working!
[03:40] <alecwh> I just recently installed pure-ftpd, and I have no idea how to use it. Can someone help me set it up, or link me to a guide/wiki?
[03:41] <ShackJack> justin420: Depending on which compiz you can have shortcut key and you used to be able to roll mouse over title to shade which was pretty cool..
[03:41] <ztomic> Meta4ical: thats not spam. good question. So your question is to solve lockup problem?
[03:41] <sapuro> keen any luck on the installation?
[03:41] <Meta4ical> ztomic: You're correct. ;p
[03:41] <basso> yay ubuntu works
[03:42] <basso> anyone had problems with a major long install?.. it took like an hour to format and install everything
[03:42] <Meta4ical> ztomic: I've seen posts related to my problem where people chose to use ENVY and it didn't go over so well, so I avoided that as a solution
[03:42] <ShackJack> basso: Slow computer?
[03:42] <Pelo> basso,  might be related to the size of your hdd and the speed of your cd-rom
[03:42] <basso> e6300 2gig ram and 200gig hdd... hmmm no xD
[03:42] <basso> could be the hdd thou...
[03:42] <basso> but still.. was pritty slow
[03:43] <Shrimpy_> i am booting a live cd but how do i check the files on my harddrive. (my window files)
[03:43] <Pelo> basso,  I'm betting on formating the hdd took the longest time
[03:43] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: is Lamp the extra services like MySQL, PHP and Apache?
[03:43] <basso> omg yes :O
[03:43] <ShackJack> basso: Check to make sure DMA is enabled on the drive :)
[03:43] <Yono> how do you change the text color on the gnome panel?
[03:43] <bazookatooth> i have a problem... i've been using ubuntu on my laptop (sony vaio widescreen) for a few months now... i love it.   however, I just recently bought a 21inch widescreen dell monitor, and I can't for the life of me get the resolution right on it.  anyone else have a similar problem?
[03:43] <squidinkc> What is m-a?
[03:43] <Pelo> basso,  ifyou'd been installing xp you'd still be at it
[03:43] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Yep..
[03:43] <basso> lol^^
[03:44] <Pelo> bazookatooth,  edit xort.conf and add the resolutions you need to the list
[03:44] <Pelo> bazookatooth,  xorg.conf,  sorry

[03:44] <RyukZilla> ggggg
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> bazookatooth: You will end up editing your xorg.conf file and adding in the res you want...
[03:44] <basso> well.. i have come quite far with ubuntu now.. but i still havent figured out if how to get decent ATI drivers for my X1950XT card
[03:44] <keen> i'm starting to dislike ubuntu, i can't even get a gui =(
[03:44] <dk0r> how do you add apps to startup program list? system>preferences>sessions seems to lag. alot.
[03:44] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Oh it should be known that on the first guide I followed (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI) and only did the instructions for 7.04
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> keen: why niot?
[03:45] <Pelo> basso,  start wit the restricted drivers in  menu > system > admin > restricted drivers,   if that does't work come back there are other ways
[03:45] <ShackJack> basso: You'll have to make do with fglrx...
[03:45] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Making so many changes and edits just seemed weird, because if it didn't fix it then I have all these modifications etc left over
[03:45] <drgonzo_> I was goofing around with a new USB Thumb Drive (Emprex 2GB "PD10") and decided to try formatting it, after formatting it Ubuntu 7.04 automounts the drive in Read Only, how do I fix this?
[03:45] <Browndog> Bazooka, check the Ubuntu Wiki to see if there's a resolution package available for your machine...I have a gateway laptop with an intel 915 chipset, and there was a package called 915 resolution that I installed.  Worked perfectly.
[03:45] <franky123> hey, i'm trying to set vnc up so i can remote desktop to my friend's computer. i can ssh into his computer, but we cant get vnc to work. we just did apt-get vncviewer and vncserver, but vncviewer always says it failed to connect
[03:45] <sapuro> keen have u tried the guided installation?
[03:45] <keen> well i'm on my third install and everytime i install, my x server decides not to work
[03:45] <bazookatooth> Pelo: thanks... but where is xorg.conf
[03:45] <thinh> i just format my ext hd to ext3 how do i take ownership of it?
[03:46] <thinh> i cant remove or copy to ext hd
[03:46] <Pelo> bazookatooth,   in the terminal     gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:46] <Juninho> hello
[03:46] <ztomic> Meta4ical: My first suggestion is to do #sudo depmod
[03:46] <keen> well i was trying to save some files i had on here so i wouldn't have to copy them over again, but i think imma just try the guided next time...
[03:46] <bazookatooth> Pelo, thanks.. i'll use vi :)
[03:46] <basso> well i followed a strange guide somewhere, did lots of copy past code thingi to terminal, had to reboot and bag.. could play a crappy rallygame in 3d.. so i guess it works
[03:46] <therethinker> Hmm... has anyone had an error where apt always reports that another package manager is running, even right after a reboot?
[03:46] <ShackJack> keen: Make sure you have separate partition for home - makes reinstalls easier ;)
[03:46] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Done, no output just went back to another prompt
[03:46] <varun_> where are codecs stored on ubuntu?
[03:47] <NigelS> therethinker: the update manager may have launched
[03:47] <ShackJack> therethinker: You're running apt as super user?
[03:47] <ztomic> Meta4ical: probably have to reboot to see if it worked. Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well.
[03:47] <therethinker>  I stopped update-manager, and I am running as a SU
[03:47] <Meta4ical> ztomic: I'm not sure that does, but in the first guide I followed he asked me to issue this command "sudo depmod -a"
[03:47] <Luke> Does anyone have any good guides on RAID-1 while preserving Ubuntu?
[03:47] <thinh> is the media that i need to take ownsership?
[03:47] <drgonzo_> I've lost ownership of my USB Thumb drive after formatting it, and now Ubuntu Feisty sees it as a Read Only HDD, how can I get ownership back?
[03:47] <g2g591> shackjack:how do you set things up to do that?
[03:47] <basso> but here is the inner geek speaking out to you. Does anyone have problems running X264 1080P videos in ubuntu?
[03:48] <ShackJack> g2g591: Eh?
[03:48] <g2g591> drgon:chown
[03:48] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Alright I'll edit the xorg.conf and come back, thanks
[03:48] <ztomic> Meta4ical: you need to reboot after depmod
[03:48] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: Well I installed it but to be honest im really noob at this, and its asking for a command
[03:48] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  there was someting in the forum about  removeing a line from gconf-editor,   let me figure out where exactly
[03:48] <bazookatooth> now... say i make a change to my xorg.conf or something like that.. how do I restart X without restarting my cpu?
[03:48] <g2g591> shack: how do you get it so your home is on another partation than your install?
[03:48] <ShackJack> Luke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/RAID1?highlight=%28raid%29  ?
[03:48] <drgonzo_> Pelo, thanks
[03:49] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: It appears like "login@hostname:~$" >< what do to now >.<?
[03:49] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  in gconf-editor , under  /system/storage,  possibly under default options,  look for the mount name of your usb drive,  and delete the entry
[03:49] <therethinker> So no clue?
[03:49] <Luke> ShackJack: checking
[03:49] <Juninho> FUCK
[03:49] <drgonzo_> Pelo, alright, I'll give it a shot
[03:49] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish...
[03:49] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Do i edit this entry back to  Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0] "
[03:49] <Meta4ical>  fglrx, or the generic video card entry above it?
[03:49] <ShackJack> !ohmy | Juninho
[03:49] <Juninho> estoy perdido
[03:49] <ubotu> Juninho: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:49] <NigelS> therethinker: but it still reports that the cache is locked?
[03:49] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: get to the main interface?
[03:49] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  and similarly under  /schemas/system/storage ...
[03:49] <Meta4ical> they both have a driver ""
[03:50] <Juninho> ubotu Brazil
[03:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about brazil - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:50] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: For server ubuntu - there is no "main interface"...
[03:50] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: It's command line only...
[03:50] <Pelo> Juninho,  try #ubuntu-br
[03:50] <sapuro> bazookatooth you can restart the X without restarting the pc by doing <Cntrl> <Alt> <Back Space>
[03:50] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: o.... <_< so how am i Supposed to run services and such?
[03:50] <Luke> ShackJack: that is for *installation* - I want to ensure my data persists after raid1
[03:50] <basso> ubuntu really has everything, amule, azureus, klibido and even VLC... i just love this man
[03:51] <sapuro> Juninho brasileiro :o
[03:51] <thinh> how do i take ownership of my ext hd?
[03:51] <sapuro> basso ubuntu is the future :o
[03:51] <sapuro> lol
[03:51] <therethinker> therethinker: yep
[03:51] <g2g591> juniho habla en espanol!
[03:51] <therethinker> I mean XD
[03:51] <ztomic> Meta4ical: the identifier doesnt need to be changed. just the driver section. driver "fglrx"
[03:51] <Kuprin> Hey guys, I just got my new box built, but I'm having problems and trying to troubleshoot. I tried Kanotix, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu and nothing's working properly; they either display a blank screen or the graphical part of the splash screen, but the scrolling text NEVER shows up.
[03:51] <therethinker> NigelS: yep
[03:51] <Juninho> sapuro yess
[03:51] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Looks like you've got some reading to do ;) Start with: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers?action=show&redirect=Server
[03:51] <basso> my first focus was getting access to usenet and check if i could play some downloaded porn movies with VLC.. and it worked :O
[03:51] <Juninho> Pelo thank you
[03:51] <matt_mueller> Ok I hate to show up here and ask for help.....but I am at my wits end with my intel integrated wireless (ipw3945)...and yes I know it is supposed to be supported out of the box...but its not, and none of the forum topics have gotten me anywhere...can anyone help?
[03:52] <Pelo> Kuprin,  what video card ?
[03:52] <bulmer> Kuprin: try to select the vga or low rez and see if it makes a difference
[03:52] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Oh I misworded my question, I was saying I have 2 seperate sections with a Driver "" and I don't know which to change to fglrx
[03:52] <ShackJack> !wireless | matt_mueller (seen the troubleshooting guide here?)
[03:52] <ubotu> matt_mueller (seen the troubleshooting guide here?): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:52] <sapuro> Juninho I speak portuguese, I'm angolan, r u having problems with ubuntu?I dont think we can speak portuguese here, try the pvt
[03:52] <matt_mueller> heh yeh, seen the troubleshooting docs
[03:52] <bulmer> matt_mueller: do you own your own AP?
[03:53] <matt_mueller> AP?  oh man now i feel like a total noob
[03:53] <exile> Hello, can someone please direct me to a wiki or something that explains how to start a service or how to use start-stop-daemon? The manual doesn't quite explain.
[03:53] <therethinker> exile: sudo /etc/init.d/SERVICE [start] [stop] [restart]
[03:53] <bulmer> matt_mueller: ummm..stay with wired connectivity for now :)
[03:53] <Pelo> exile,  you put it in /etc/init.d I beleive,  try looking in here  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty , not exactly what you need but you can probably figure something out from the exemples
[03:53] <piao> hi, is any body use xubuntu gutsy?
[03:54] <matt_mueller> access point
[03:54] <matt_mueller> gotcha
[03:54] <Kuprin> Pelo: GeForce 8600GTS
[03:54] <Pelo> piao,  for gutsy ask in #ubuntu+1
[03:54] <bean-oh> is there a tried and true way to do wireless bridging from the host with virtualbox?
[03:54] <exile> thank you
[03:54] <Kuprin> bulmer: Can't do low rez, monitor only runs at 1280x1024
[03:54] <drgonzo_> Pelo, I'm not seeing any references to the mount name of my USB drive.
[03:54] <ztomic> Meta4ical: Line 86 should read: Driver "fglrx"
[03:54] <thinh> anyone know what i need to to to get access to my ext3 ext hd?
[03:54] <bulmer> Kuprin then perhaps during boot from cd...select the higher rez
[03:54] <Pelo> Kuprin,  to install with an ATI or nvidia card you will need to use the alternate install cd ( which is text based) and after the install you can add the proper drivers
[03:55] <Juninho> sapuro all good
[03:55] <Ry> Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig.... Does whatever a Spider-Pig does.. Can he swing? from a web? No he can't..  Look out! He is the Spider-Pig!
[03:55] <thinh> i format it with gparted now i cant add or remove any files from it
[03:55] <penguinistakc> thinh Have you mounted it?
[03:55] <Kuprin> Pelo: interesting.
[03:55] <Juninho> sapuro I am using a translator
[03:55] <thinh> yeah
[03:55] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  anyting that looks like your usb drive in there ? this was a while back look under the FS you used on your thumb drive
[03:55] <drgonzo_> thinh, I'm having the same problem with my USB Thimb Drive
[03:55] <keen> pelo, how do i get the proper drivers after i install, i'm not sure how to use the command line
[03:55] <wlu> I have an AMD64 machine with two ati cards and three monitors. I a have been trying to get Debian to recognize the last screen but no luck. Does anyone have a tripple head ubuntu machine
[03:56] <drgonzo_> S/thimb/thumb
[03:56] <Pelo> Kuprin,  ati and nvidia donT' have open source drivers so they are not out of the box in ubuntu,  that is why
[03:56] <thinh> the strange thing is i used my account to format with gparted and still it says root on it
[03:56] <Meta4ical> ztomic: K rebooting
[03:56] <Kuprin> Pelo: Aha, I see. Didn't they change that in Feisty though?
[03:56] <Pelo> keen,  once you have installed you will get a gui,  with a vesa driver,   come back here and we can tell you how to get the ati-nvidia drivers you need
[03:57] <sapuro> Juninho oh, ok then, it shouldnt be a problem then
[03:57] <thinh> i try to use chown but it doesnt seems to help
[03:57] <Pelo> Kuprin,  there are some restricted drivers in ubuntu ( but not on the install) , that can be easily added from the menus
[03:57] <keen> pelo, i do not get a gui after install, it says that my x server isn't configured properly
[03:57] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: is there an OS that has a main interface?
[03:57] <Kuprin> Pelo: That makes little sense, my brother has a 7600 and didn't need to do that.
[03:57] <thinh> i try to use it on /dev/sdb1 and /media/disk
[03:57] <Pelo> keen,   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:57] <RyukZilla> altho im reading this =P but I would like t o have options
[03:57] <Juninho> sapuro debtor for its attention
[03:58] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: What are you trying to run a server for ?
[03:58] <sapuro> keen any code u want to use at the command prompt you can find by googling
[03:58] <sapuro> Juninho ?????????? :s
[03:58] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: A gaming server (Ragnarok Online)
[03:58] <keen> sapuro, thanks i'll try that
[03:58] <drgonzo_> Pelo, I see references to file systems under /system/storage/default_options , ntfs (the FS I used for my thumb drive) showing mount_opitons [umask=222,utf8,exec]
[03:58] <HelpMe> I have a problem.    For some reason I cant install java runtime enviorment on mozilla
[03:58] <Pelo> Kuprin,  I'm not a ati / nvidia expert myself,  I only point ppl in the correct direction
[03:58] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Yeah, sorry you gotta get comfy with learning some stuff... There is webmin, etc... but it's not quite intuitive...
[03:59] <Pelo> drgonzo_, I have that to, leave it ,   did you also check under schemas ?
[03:59] <basso> anyone know when ubuntu media center will be released?
[03:59] <sapuro> keen usually I just type "code for (wateva I want to do) at the terminal" and usually works
[03:59] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Maybe some tips in forums chats of other gamer server sites...
[03:59] <franky123> hey i'm having a vnc problem. i am able to remote desktop into my friends computer, but all i get is a blank X session where i can move the mouse around. how can i view the desktop? xfce is running with vnc4server on the remote computer.
[03:59] <wlu> kuprin, I do not know about ubuntu but you should see if you can get fglrx with apt-cache search
[03:59] <RyukZilla> np, i will do it tho but for example what If i didnt configured the DCHP and i-net connection? since they are going to set it up tomorrow
[03:59] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  it might not be the solution for your problem,  it just sounded like someting I went throught wth my mp3 player,  I had to delete the affore mentionned entry but that was a while back
[04:00] <basso> yeah how do you get the 3D interface thing i have been hearing about for so long?
[04:00] <pawan> hi
[04:00] <ShackJack> basso: ENable desktop effects under prefs
[04:00] <Pelo> basso,  #ubuntu-effects
[04:00] <exile> therethinker: You explained to me how to start a service but how do I create my own service? i.e. Ventrilo
[04:00] <drgonzo_> Pelo, under /schemas/system/storage/default_options/ntfs I see "Name: mount options" "Value: <schema>"
[04:01] <HelpMe> can someone pleas tell me how to install java runtime enviorment on mozilla firefox?
[04:01] <ShackJack> basso: Or check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion for the next wave...
[04:01] <isaac_> how do i use swat?
[04:01] <blanky> hey guys
[04:01] <basso> "The Composite extension is not available"
[04:01] <ShackJack> HelpMe: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Java_.26_Non-Media_Browser_Plug-ins
[04:01] <blanky> which would be faster on a slow machine, kde or gnome (Yes, I know about fluxbox, openbox, xfce, etc.)
[04:01] <bulmer> exile you proly need to learn systems programming..regarding creating daemons
[04:01] <thinlace> argh, now i can't even load my 3d drivers. i run fgrlxinfo and get this: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:02] <thinlace> i have tried removing and reinstalling the drivers to no avail
[04:02] <ShackJack> blanky: That you'll get a lot of argument about ;)
[04:02] <penguinistakc> thinh Did you mount it read/write with user? That is, mount -t ext3 -o rw,user /dev/xxx /media/disk
[04:02] <exile> bulmer: there's no easy way to have a program start in the background everytime linux starts?
[04:02] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  that's the same on mine,  maybe you should abandon tha tline of inquiry and do a search in the forum some keyword    read only usb  or someting similar
[04:02] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Black screen again, had to revert to vesa. Though I do have a piece of information that might help.
[04:02] <blanky> ShackJack: I know that there's a flamewar about them both, but what do YOU feel
[04:02] <thinh> dont know yet let me check rw
[04:02] <drgonzo_> Pelo, doing so right now, thanks anyway
[04:02] <thinlace> penguin mount what?
[04:02] <thinh> it was on ro before
[04:02] <franky123> hey i need help with vnc. when i remote desktop into a xubuntu box i only see an X session instead of an xfce desktop. how to fix this?
[04:02] <ShackJack> thinlace: Dang I don't know what your issue could be...
[04:02] <blanky> for example, I just installed feisty on a 1.3 ghz pc with 128 ram and it's sooo slow
[04:02] <anditosan> how can I have last.fm play on elisa?
[04:03] <blanky> so I'm guessing I should definitely use XFCE or fluxbox?
[04:03] <Meta4ical> ztomic: After I edited the xorg.conf in nano I did startx and it logged me in as root, after I logged out I noticed a line of text that could be helpful
[04:03] <blanky> which do you suggest among those two, fluxbox?
[04:03] <penguinistakc> thinh that is why you couldn't write to t
[04:03] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: np, i will do it tho but for example what If i didnt configured the DCHP and i-net connection? since they are going to set it up tomorrow
[04:03] <Meta4ical> it said screen 0 is not DRI capable
[04:03] <thinlace> shackjack i think my situation went down hill. it was at least working with 3d
[04:03] <bulmer> exile you can, but if that program dies..you need to restart it..daemons are designed to be much more and not easily killed
[04:03] <buntunu1> blanky use xubuntu for that machine or fluxbuntu
[04:03] <cafuego> blanky: Yes, with Gnome, an extra 512Mb ram would be good.
[04:03] <ShackJack> blanky: If you've got at least 384MB RAM and 500MHz system - GNOME will run fine...
[04:03] <Pelo> blanky,   gnome should be faster , kde is a bit heavier
[04:03] <penguinistakc> thinlace helping thinh use his external HDD
[04:03] <pawan> what other than xubuntu kubuntu
[04:03] <blanky> okay thanks guys
[04:03] <Kuprin> blanky: personally I'm a flux man, I run it on my other box
[04:03] <thinlace> penguin i think you have me confused, i have no external HDD
[04:03] <buntunu1> gnome isnt any faster than kde
[04:03] <buntunu1> if anything its slower
[04:03] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Sorry server services not my specialty ;)
[04:03] <thinlace> i am having trouble getting my ati commercial drivers working and xgl
[04:03] <blanky> yeah on this pc everything runs fine, but on the slow computer that I just ran, it's so slow
[04:03] <penguinistakc> thinlace I was helping another user :)
[04:03] <thinlace> oh
[04:03] <thinlace> lol
[04:03] <thinlace> sorry
[04:04] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: any good tutorial to begin with?
[04:04] <thinlace> i guess i am confused then
[04:04] <Shrimpy_> hello, i'm running a live cd 6.10 and i am trying to view the contents of the hardrive (aka the window files) how do i make this possible?
[04:04] <blanky> and I know that people used to think gnome was faster than kde but lately it's felt a lot snappier
[04:04] <exile> bulmer: the problem I'm having is when I use 'start-stop-daemon' it's not letting the program I want to run see it's dependecies in it's own folder. For example: it's config file
[04:04] <blanky> so I guess I'll use fluxbox, because I don't really like xfce
[04:04] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Can't think of one...
[04:04] <buntunu1> actually its not gnome thats slow.. its ubuntu thats slow
[04:04] <thinh> i add the rw
[04:04] <thinh> and didnt work
[04:04] <thinlace> why is ubuntu slow?
[04:04] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: Open Places -
[04:04] <blanky> Kuprin: hey what do you suggest to use as a dock, or something to put icons on my desktop, in fluxbox
[04:04] <ShackJack> thinlace: Because it didn't go to school?
[04:04] <HelpMe> ShackJack:    It says: WARNING:   "The following packages cannot be authenticated"    shoudl I still download it?
[04:05] <blanky> thinlace: http://linandwin.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/how-to-speed-up-ubuntu/
[04:05] <penguinistakc> thinh You are mounting with both the rw and user options?
[04:05] <drgonzo_> Alright, I'm just going to format the USB stick in windows XP and see if that fixes things
[04:05] <Kuprin> blanky: Nothing? That's how I run anyway. :3
[04:05] <drewb1> hallo
[04:05] <blanky> Kuprin: alright, it's because my little sister will be using the computer, it's bad enough using fluxbox
[04:05] <bulmer> exile have you looked at the man pages of update-rc.d
[04:05] <thinlace> shackjack i think the problem is my xorg.conf is messed up and invalid
[04:05] <thinlace> how do i restore it?
[04:05] <ShackJack> HelpMe: It's not a problem - just looking for a key... Not sure what key it's looking for...
[04:05] <exile> bulmar: no but I will if that's what you suggest =)
[04:05] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: ok...it's showing the ubuntu "/" (filesystem) files. how do i view the windows portion?
[04:06] <thinh> not yet my fstab is weird got uuid
[04:06] <ShackJack> thinlace: I think dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[04:06] <HelpMe> ShackJack:  ok, thanks
[04:06] <pawan> i have ubuntu now i want to install kubunut
[04:06] <drewb1> Anybody have any luck with Red5 in Ubuntu?
[04:06] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: Go to Computer and you'll see mounted drives...
[04:06] <lethologica> When will ubuntu support ext4?
[04:06] <bulmer> exile yes, i suggest you look at that and see if it may solve yours
[04:06] <ShackJack> pawan: sudo aptitude install #kubuntu-desktop  -- then you cna select at login
[04:07] <pawan> ok
[04:07] <ShackJack> lethologica: I don't know about Ubuntu specifically, but you are free to install it ;)
[04:07] <alecw2> I just set up Pure-FTPd on my desktop, and I need to modify one of my users. How do I do it? Is there a file I can edit with gedit?
[04:07] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: all i see is the cd drive and then the filesystem
[04:07] <lethologica> ShackJack: Last time I tried something like that the system went down...
[04:07] <Meta4ical> in xorg.conf what does the 0 mean in        Option	    "Composite" "0"
[04:07] <pawan> if i download kubuntu iso and install it
[04:07] <thinh> i am adding the fstab right now
[04:07] <ShackJack> lethologica: Tried what?

[04:08] <lethologica> Installing something that wasn't supported
[04:08] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: Nothing else in Computer -- these are local drives or on a network?

[04:11] <anditosan> how can I confure last.fm plugin for ELISA?
[04:11] <keen> the only option of those that are on the list is ati
[04:11] <ShackJack> keen: Did restricted drivers mgr not work for you?
[04:11] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: well thank you anyways!
[04:11] <bulmer> ianweller: without the added hd, does it boot ?
[04:11] <Meta4ical> ztomic: I think I know what the problem is
[04:11] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: You can try and restart live cd ;)
[04:11] <anditosan> how can I confure last.fm plugin for ELISA?
[04:11] <ianweller> bulmer: no that is *the* hd, it was in an older computer that was almost the same
[04:11] <thinh> i didnt have an entry for my ext hd in fstab
[04:12] <keen> shackjack, i'm still trying to get a gui
[04:12] <wallacew> I need some help installing my Smartlink modem card (for use with ncid). I'm following the instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki.  "sudo touch /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/linux/config.h # Compile-fix*" fails.
[04:12] <thinh> trying to add to see if it makes any different
[04:12] <Meta4ical> ztomic: I'm following a guide right now which says that fglrx does not support composite and that it must be disabled, but it's not in my config, so i'm trying to figure out what the 0 is
[04:12] <ShackJack> keen: You should be able to fall back to vesa in xorg.conf
[04:12] <drewb1> bulmer: Red5 is a java-based open source version of the Flash Media Serve
[04:12] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: ok lol
[04:12] <keen> shackjack so i should pick vesa then?
[04:12] <bulmer> ianweller: oh...you're transfering it over..not adding right?
[04:13] <drewb1> bulmer, and yes I meant the .deb package
[04:13] <ianweller> bulmer: affirmativew
[04:13] <ianweller> where did that w come from ...
[04:13] <ShackJack> keen: Yeah for fallback - for now - not ideal but should work..
[04:13] <lethologica> If I want to plug my ubuntu box to work as a router, then have my router act as a switch, what software would you recommend?

[04:13] <Phydoux> Anyone have any experience with Digital video cameras & Ubuntu?
[04:13] <alecw2> I just set up Pure-FTPd on my desktop, and I need to modify one of my users. How do I do it? Is there a file I can edit with gedit?
[04:14] <ShackJack> keen: Are you using dpkg--reconfigure?
[04:14] <wallacew> I need some help installing my Smartlink modem card (for use with ncid). I'm following the instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki.  "sudo touch /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/linux/config.h # Compile-fix*" fails. This seems to be the last step I need to complete. Help appreciated
[04:14] <bulmer> ianweller: bios are the same?you can try using the liveCD as starter
[04:14] <kf4ebp> I've installed a kvm switch on two machines. Anyone know how to lock down the screen resolution so I can boot off either machine without getting a 600x480 screen?
[04:14] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: damn i do not know where to start T_T
[04:14] <ztomic> Meta4ical: 0 is your first screen.\
[04:14] <ianweller> bulmer: yeah i was gonna try that but i'd ask first, i think bios is a slight upgrade
[04:14] <wallacew> alecw2, GUI way would be System > Administration > Users and Groups
[04:14] <ianweller> bulmer: it's from a dell dimension 433c to a dell dimension 2200, i think
[04:15] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Yeah, server admin not for the faint of heart... not sure if anyone else can help you - depends on what you are trying to accomplished... If game server prolly the package for it will tell you more..
[04:15] <alecw2> wallacew: the users for pureftpd?

[04:15] <ianweller> yeah.
[04:15] <ShackJack> keen: lspci
[04:15] <ianweller> bulmer: so what do i need to do when i boot it up with the live cd
[04:15] <tetrimino> yo guys
[04:15] <ianweller> bulmer: reinstall or what?
[04:15] <tetrimino> i got a boner
[04:15] <drgonzo_> Well I'll be damned!
[04:15] <ShackJack> keen: What are you installing on - Dell notebook?
[04:15] <ianweller> bulmer: i'd prefer not to reinstall
[04:15] <keen> shackjack, where do i type that, i'm nolonger at the command line
[04:16] <wallacew> alecw2, I don't know, I have never set up an ftp server. Try it and see if that lets you do what you need to do?
[04:16] <drgonzo_> I had to format the USB stick in WinXP to get rid of that goofy ownership snafu
[04:16] <bulmer> ianweller: just boot it with the transferred hd..and see how it goes
[04:16] <ShackJack> keen: Eh... not following - in terminal -- what are you installing on Dell noteboko?
[04:16] <alecw2> wallacew: nope, I want to edit the FTP users, not the "users" on ubuntu. Can anyeone help me with this?
[04:16] <alecw2> Where can I find a list of commands for pureftpd?
[04:16] <ztomic> Meta4ical: 0 is always the first number. 1 is the 2nd, 2 is the 3rd. So screen 0 is first.
[04:17] <ianweller> bulmer: k, i'll get back to you on what it does
[04:17] <thinh> how you change the ownership of ext hd?
[04:17] <bulmer> chmod
[04:17] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: Do u know where I can find a list of basic Linux commands? please
[04:17] <keen> shackjack, i just did a fresh install of feisty using alternate cd, when it booted there was no gui and it told me to reconfigure my xserver, so i'm trying to do that now
[04:17] <Meta4ical> ztomic: My idea didn't go over so well, could I have that link again?
[04:17] <ShackJack> keen: WHy aren't you answering my question?
[04:17] <bulmer> RyukZilla: you want some2000+ of them? just press tab twice in a terminal
[04:18] <ztomic> Meta4ical: http://technowizah.com/2006/10/debian-how-to-ati-drivers.html
[04:18] <keen> shackjack, i thought i did?
[04:18] <alecw2> I just set up Pure-FTPd on my desktop, and I need to modify one of my users. How do I do it? Is there a file I can edit with gedit?
[04:18] <Meta4ical> ztomic: thanks
[04:18] <kbahey> is this the right place to ask about apache in edgy vs. feisty? serious bloat
[04:18] <thinlace> ok, i got my 3d working again
[04:18] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: http://blog.lxpages.com/ultimate_linux.html  or google..
[04:18] <RyukZilla> bulmer: no but the main ones? like compile and such or how to create folders, access some files, install files
[04:18] <ShackJack> thinlace: Sweet!
[04:18] <basso> i have concluded that i will never get desktop effects
[04:18] <ShackJack> keen: answer?
[04:18] <thinlace> i tried an xgl session and its not garbled but the whole desktop doesn't render. like it renders once but that is it
[04:19] <ShackJack> keen: model? notebook?
[04:19] <ztomic> Meta4ical: I have to go. Post your question again. sorry I couldn't help.
[04:19] <thinlace> it won't render as i click things, no state. its just frozen. my mouse moves and renders tohugh
[04:19] <bulmer> RyukZilla: if you have been using the command line in Windows..pretty much similar in concept in linux
[04:19] <keen> shackjack ooooh, misread ur question, dell inspiron e1505
[04:19] <thinlace> sometimes the entire top gnome bar is blank and white
[04:19] <ShackJack> keen: Same as mine --- 1:0:0 bus id likely ...
[04:19] <thinlace> i feel like i am so close but something is wrong
[04:19] <Frogzoo_> thinlace: check you window manager hasn't been reset to metacity, which will happen if xgl bombs
[04:19] <keen> shackjack thanks
[04:19] <astro76> RyukZilla, here's a couple to start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto
[04:20] <thinlace> wait, you mean i should have beryl installed and running? because right now i am just trying to start a session with JUST xgl
[04:20] <jerbear> anyone use nx free server (not freenx)?
[04:20] <tetrimino> EVERYBODY I GOT A BONER!! WRITE IN PRIVATE!!! :D
[04:20] <Frogzoo_> thinlace: also, -> #ubuntu-effects
[04:20] <ShackJack> astro76: RyukZilla has miles to go before he sleeps ;)
[04:20] <penguinistakc> thinh You don't change ownership of a device -- it is always owned by root Generally, when the device is mounted, it is owned by the user who mounted it
[04:20] <Frogzoo_> tetrimino: thanks for sharing
[04:20] <ShackJack> !ohmy | tetrimino
[04:20] <thinlace> oh
[04:20] <ubotu> tetrimino: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:20] <Meta4ical> anyone know why fglrxinfo might return this at the top? Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:20] <thinh> okey but how do i use it
[04:20] <thinh> i cant get to it
[04:21] <ShackJack> thinlace: no focus on XGL first... I had to have those LIBRARY preload lines for mine to work and disable composite...
[04:21] <thinh> i can see files but cant read or write to it
[04:21] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: ye ;O; pretty much, but i hope i can learn that easy and fast, since its not that hard, its about logic whatsoever
[04:21] <RyukZilla> bulmer: thanks, that will help
[04:21] <twixster> I was wondering if someone here could help me with my video cards and monitors....   I have 2 nvidia graphics cards ( a 7800 agp and a 5200 pci) i got the one to work well with my main monitor but that leaves my 2 17" monitors just sitting there doing nothing
[04:21] <thinh> and i use my login to format aswell
[04:21] <Frogzoo_> Meta4ical: most likely you've not enable DRI
[04:21] <penguinistakc> alecw2 Do you have an ftpgroup group and an ftpuser user?
[04:21] <Dr_Link> I'm booting up from a Ubuntu disk on my Windows 98 computer... that's my test dummy.
[04:21] <RyukZilla> astro76: thanks ;D that will help too
[04:21] <thinh> but it still says root on it
[04:21] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: like I said, maybe gameserver chat or forum can give you a quick start...
[04:21] <alecw2> penguinistakc: Yes, I do.
[04:21] <penguinistakc> thinh Is it mounted right now?
[04:21] <jerbear> i'm using nx free server on feisty, and every time i login, a core dump gets put in my home folder. anyone experienced this?
[04:21] <Meta4ical> frogzoo: do you know where I could go about doing that? big newb here
[04:21] <thinh> nope
[04:21] <thinh> i took it out
[04:22] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: Of course but more than that, I need to configure up everything
[04:22] <Dr_Link> ...will it work if I'm on a 1.98 GB-free space hard drive Windows 98 if I try to start from Ubuntu?
[04:22] <thinh> i manually mounted it dont know if that matters
[04:22] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: i found my feisty live cd and reboot and still nothing on the computer-file browser
[04:22] <thinlace> shackjack so i should be able to run xgl session without beryl/compiz? ok so i put those library lines in there
[04:22] <alecw2> penguinistakc: Do you know how to chnage a user setting?
[04:22] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: Look in Module section of your xorg.conf
[04:22] <pawan> other than kubuntu xubuntu
[04:22] <Frogzoo_> Meta4ical: in "Module" section, add  Load    "dri"
[04:22] <bulmer> Dr_Link: you're using a liveCD? it does not require hd spaces
[04:22] <Dr_Link> The CD drive is churning away...
[04:22] <ShackJack> thinlace: Oh yes, you can...
[04:22] <alecw2> penguinistakc: I want to change the default "directory" it loads to.
[04:22] <thinlace> so what should the window manager be if not metacity?
[04:22] <reya276> is there a channel for apache?
[04:22] <Meta4ical> frogzoo: do you know if this is needed by fglrx or not needed? sorry for so many questions
[04:22] <thinlace> and where do i change it?
[04:23] <bulmer> reya276: yes../join #apache
[04:23] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: That's really weird -- sudo mount -a in terminal - though I don't know default pw for live cd... dunno if that would help though..
[04:23] <Dr_Link> It's actually a CD+RW that I burned the ISO image to.
[04:23] <Frogzoo_> Meta4ical: it's needed for 3d
[04:23] <josh__> What can I do to do an "almost complete reboot"; reboot the OS without actually rebooting the hardware
[04:23] <Dr_Link> And it's starting fom a Windows 98 computer...
[04:23] <wallacew> Could someone help me figure out why the last step of this process fails and therefore I cannot get my modem working? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Smartlink#head-d3468dd8b240aa1005c9994a0e31717735bfaa80
[04:23] <blanky> hey guys what do you suggest, openbox or fluxbox, for a slow computer which my little sister will use
[04:23] <bulmer> Dr_Link just be a bit patient..liveCD takes a lil while to boot
[04:23] <thinh> is there a way for me to set permission when you format the drive using gparted
[04:23] <wallacew> blanky, how slow?
[04:23] <ShackJack> blanky: XUbuntu will be easier for her to use...
[04:23] <Dr_Link> bulmer: Eh. Exactly how long?
[04:23] <keen> shackjack, i just finished the configuration, how do i start up xserver again?
[04:23] <blanky> wallacew: 128 mb ram, 1.3 ghz
[04:23] <thinh> i use gparted in format ext hd
[04:24] <Meta4ical> Frogzoo_: It's already in there hm..
[04:24] <bulmer> Dr_Link: just be patient :)
[04:24] <blanky> ShackJack: I have a feeling XFCE will be too slow
[04:24] <penguinistakc> alecw2 You can manually change the directory by editing the file /etc/pureftpd.passwd
[04:24] <Dr_Link> m'kay
[04:24] <ShackJack> keen: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:24] <jim> is grip still supported in the latest Ubuntu
[04:24] <ShackJack> blanky: specs?
[04:24] <Dr_Link> I'm going to go get some water and take a shower.
[04:24] <reya276> thanks
[04:24] <blanky> ShackJack: 128 ram, 1.3 ghz
[04:24] <wallacew> blanky: Well, how old is your little sister? You don't want it to be too hard for her to use
[04:24] <orbisvicis> !alsa
[04:24] <ubotu> 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
[04:24] <bulmer> Dr_Link: good luck
[04:24] <penguinistakc> thinh What does the line for the drive in /etc/mtab say? That will show you how the drive is mounted now.
[04:24] <alecw2> penguinistakc: I'll try.
[04:24] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: nothing happens
[04:24] <ShackJack> blanky: That'll be fine -- little more ram would be nice..
[04:24] <orbisvicis> !info alsa

[04:24] <blanky> wallacew: the 'hardness' isn't really much of a problem, I can customize it to be easy, and she'll get used to it
[04:25] <penguinistakc> alecw2 Pureftpd has documentaton on its site -- pureftpd.org
[04:25] <keen> shackjack, still no gui...keeps failing to start xserver any ideas?
[04:25] <blanky> I'm just pretty interested in openbox, but fluxbox has more history and im pretty sure that'll work for sure, have you had any luck with openbox?
[04:25] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: K - sorry I don't know why your LIve cd wouldn't be mounting your exisiting windows drive... you really should see something under Computer...
[04:25] <alecw2> penguinistakc: That file doesn't exist...
[04:25] <ShackJack> keen: with vesa driver?
[04:25] <thinh> /dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext3 rw 0 0
[04:25] <rockets> Totem keeps throwing me plugin errors when I try to play this dvd i have but I have libdvdcss2 installed and all the gstreamer plugins too
[04:25] <twixster> is there a channel for graphics card help
[04:25] <thinh> thats my mtab
[04:25] <ShackJack> keen I don't suppose you can pastebin your xorg :(
[04:25] <penguinistakc> alecw2 Then you don't have any virtual users at all...you may be using system users?
[04:26] <penguinistakc> thinh you need to unmount the drive and remount it with the user and rw options
[04:26] <keen> shackjack, how do i do that?
[04:26] <wallacew> blanky, Well, I tend to agree with ShackJack that XFCE would be the best choice. 1.3ghz is more than sufficient, the RAM is disappointing but could definitely be upgraded.  I assume that we're talking about SDRAM?
[04:26] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: ok i going to mess around with it for a little bit and if i learn anything new i tell ya :)
[04:26] <ShackJack> !pastebin | keen
[04:26] <ubotu> keen: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:26] <Dr_Link> thanks
[04:26] <Dr_Link> ...
[04:26] <wallacew> blanky, but it would work with 128 mb
[04:26] <thinh> just edit in mtab?
[04:26] <Dr_Link> Loading restricted drivers... It's taking forever on this step.
[04:26] <Lucios> hi, i got problem with my firefox.It close by it self each time i open it.It happen 10 sec ago.
[04:26] <ShackJack> keen: I can send you my xorg.conf -- uses fglrx :)
[04:26] <blanky> Yeah I'm pretty sure it's SDRAM, unfortunately, it's an old pc I just put together, and upgrading isn't an option
[04:26] <blanky> that's why I'm looking for the thing that would run best
[04:26] <alecw2> penguinistakc: I'm not sure.... All I know is that I folllowed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP
[04:26] <reya276> seems like no one is on that Apache channel I see a list but no one is chatting or responding
[04:27] <keen> shackjack, how would i use ur xorg file (i'm very new to ubuntu and linux)
[04:27] <penguinistakc> thinh no unmount the drive umount /dev/sdb1
[04:27] <blanky> wallacew: you sure 128 will do fine?
[04:27] <rockets> How can I figure out what codec a DVD requires?
[04:27] <blanky> it'll mostly be used for web browsing
[04:27] <orbisvicis> !mercurial
[04:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mercurial - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:27] <Dr_Link> Is Ubuntu LiveCD supposed to... pause for long periods of time during loading?
[04:27] <ShackJack> keen: I dunno... unfortunatly dunno what else I can do without seeing it... It really should work with vesa at the very least and I have same notebook with X1400 card...
[04:28] <penguinistakc> Then remount mount -t ext3 -o rw,user /dev/sdb1 /media/disk
[04:28] <Lucios> It always prompt start new season each time i open my firefox
[04:28] <thinh> i still cant do anything with it
[04:28] <keen> shackjack all i did was a fresh install and it did not work, am i doing something different or wrong?
[04:28] <wallacew> blanky: Never tried it with 128mb (I have SDRAM coming out of my ears), but according to what I'm reading on the internet it can be run alright.

[04:28] <Dr_Link> ...hello?
[04:29] <blanky> wallacew: I won't take my chances, I have very little hd space, so I'll just try fluxbox

[04:29] <Lucios> any idea?
[04:29] <korhalf> is this possible?
[04:29] <Dr_Link> SHould livecd pause for long periods of time at certain loading spots?

[04:30] <ShackJack> keen: What is resolution on your monitor?
[04:30] <twixster> keen - if the gui booted in the live cd copy the device portion of the live cds xorg.conf and paste it into your xorg.conf and that should get you to a gui
[04:30] <Dr_Link> It loaded the Linux kernel, showed the Ubuntu title screen, and then it said on line 2 of a screen of text: Loading restricted drivers...
[04:30] <ShackJack> twixster: It didn't :(
[04:30] <Dr_Link> Should it be doing that?
[04:30] <keen> shackjack bcm43xx: Error" Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode.fw" not available or load failed    just popped up on my screen
[04:30] <ianweller> Dr_Link: that can take a while
[04:30] <ianweller> Dr_Link: yes it should
[04:30] <wallacew> blanky, do your research on the internet. XFCE is the most basic one that still maintains an air of being modern. And all the anecdotes I am reading suggest it will be fine on your pc

[04:33] <enoddoeht> Hello.  I was curious as to how to patch a kernel.  I attempted to follow the on-line instructions but was unsuccessful.  I am attemptin gto add LCD support for my diNobo Laser.
[04:34] <Frogzoo_> RyukZilla: maybe do the desktop install, and then add LAMP
[04:34] <ianweller> bulmer: yeah
[04:34] <penguinistakc> thinh The problem is in the way you are mounting the drive. Unfortunately, I can't diagnose the issue effectively from afar, so I'll have to refer you to the man pages on mount, mtab, and fstab

[04:34] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: a game server but im really a nooooooooob in this kind of stuff and thought that, server's os had this all cute OS like the Desktops for easy management
[04:34] <ianweller> bulmer: yessir
[04:34] <ShackJack> keen: THat dpkg thing....
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> Zachera: whats your problem?.. and if you're not registered, you can't message
[04:35] <Henk> aib_42: so am i :)
[04:35] <ShackJack> keen up arrow for command history...
[04:35] <Frogzoo_> Zachera: just tell the chan your problem
[04:35] <keen> shackjack, i've doen it twice now....shame thing still...am i doing it wrong?
[04:35] <RyukZilla> Frogzoo_: wouldnt it be bad having a desktop installation? isnt it better to have a server one?
[04:35] <aib_42> Henk: we should check with the people here if what I'm suggesting is sensible
[04:35] <Frogzoo_> RyukZilla: doubt a noob will notice the difference tbh
[04:35] <bulmer> ianweller: sometimes the cdrom is out of whack..you may have to try rebooting several times to get it to work..i dont know why it is
[04:35] <bean-oh> RyukZilla, why use a server install? just use the desktop install and add the software you need.
[04:35] <ShackJack> keen: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  --- doesn't it ask a bunch or questions then?
[04:35] <Henk> aib_42: yeah do so please :)

[04:37] <keen> shackjack u mean with sudo in front? ya
[04:37] <aib_42> Henk: ow, I'm having a hard time summarizing. It's almost 6am here :)
[04:37] <Dr_Link> After loading
[04:37] <ianweller> bulmer: i know this particular drive works fine though
[04:37] <Dr_Link> the drivers and all that stuff.
[04:37] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: wont it be a bad idea to? and... a desktop linux one o.o which one is a good deal btw? i think ill go for that option and second, how to uninstall this Ubuntu?
[04:37] <Henk> aib_42: its 4:37 here :p
[04:37] <Dr_Link> Should there be a blank black screen?
[04:38] <ShackJack> keen: you sure... that should really make your xorg.conf and it shouldn't be blank - I don't understand what's gonig on...
[04:38] <ianweller> bulmer: and it goes to the first menu, and i hit "start or install ubuntu", and then it loads the kernel and blanks the screen and freezes with a blinking cursor
[04:38] <racarter_> how can i convert a .tiff fie to .jpeg?
[04:38] <keen> shackjack me either, imma just reinstall one more time and elete all my partitions this time
[04:38] <ShackJack> racarter_: Open in GIMP - save as...
[04:38] <Frogzoo_> racarter: gimp might
[04:38] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: and will the files be the same using a desktop install ?(like i will be able to do t hings like if it was a server install?)
[04:38] <ShackJack> keen: Yeah - thos evid problems will prolly be waiting...
[04:38] <Dr_Link> ...eh
[04:38] <bulmer> ianweller: did you wait long enuff?
[04:38] <aib_42> guys... if GRUB's working with an extended partition (sda2 -> sda5+6+7) and we use a partition editor to make them three primary partitions... would GRUB still work, assuming we rename the hd4's to hd0's (etc.) in the .lst file?
[04:38] <ShackJack> keen: I remember having a little touble but not a lot of tourble...
[04:39] <racarter> gimp told me to flatten the image first.. which i did but then the image looks different
[04:39] <racarter> sort of fuzzy
[04:39] <drgonzo_> does anyone know how to modify the permissions used when Ubuntu Feisty auto mounts a USB Drive ?
[04:39] <Luke> Does anyone know how to take one harddrive and create a mirror raid1 with a second harddrive while persisting the data from the first?
[04:39] <Dr_Link> When you're booting from a LiveCD, should there be a black screen with nothing on it during the stages of startup?
[04:39] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: wont it be a bad idea to? and... a desktop linux one o.o which one is a good deal btw? i think ill go for that option and second, how to uninstall this Ubuntu?
[04:39] <ianweller> Dr_Link: probably not
[04:39] <bean-oh> RyukZilla, why would that bad a bad idea? linux is linux.
[04:39] <Dr_Link> eh
[04:39] <Dr_Link> what should I do at this point?
[04:39] <ianweller> Dr_Link: uh, what did it do before it went black?
[04:39] <Meta4ical> All of my ideas failed :(
[04:39] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Just install over it if you want desktop -- recommend making separate partition for /home
[04:40] <rockets> Are there any other gstreamer frontends besides totem?
[04:40] <aib_42> Henk: (anyway... if you've already copied the boot files and the boot sector to the windows partition, you should be able to boot it after it's made a primary partition)
[04:40] <ianweller> bulmer: numlock won't turn on/off. is that a problem?
[04:40] <Dr_Link> I didn't see.
[04:40] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: because maybe, server installs are designed for it?
[04:40] <Dr_Link> I was in the shower.
[04:40] <Dr_Link> :O
[04:40] <ianweller> bulmer: plus it's been going for 10 minutes
[04:40] <ianweller> Dr_Link: o rly ok.
[04:40] <ianweller> Dr_Link: well i'd let it sit for a little bit
[04:40] <Henk> aib_42: what if we only make that one primary?
[04:40] <Dr_Link> It's been sitting for about 5 full minutes now.
[04:40] <Henk> aib_42: I should be able to still mount it in ubuntu right?
[04:40] <ianweller> Dr_Link: that sir is a problem
[04:40] <thinlace> well i've done everything by the book. people with my laptop claim it works. i log in with xgl session and the desktop renders but that's it, it won't update after the first render
[04:40] <bulmer> ianweller: oh..i dont know then..i have a cd that it may boot sometimes, some other times it does not
[04:40] <ianweller> Dr_Link: how old is your cd drive?
[04:40] <Dr_Link> ...
[04:41] <bean-oh> RyukZilla, again, linux is linux. what services are you planning to run?
[04:41] <thinlace> i am not sure what else i can do. obviously ati has wasted hours of my life. they should just release a working driver for once
[04:41] <ianweller> bulmer: this cd came directly from ubuntu, it has a pretty case, and installed ubuntu on the hard drive that i'm trying to boot now :D
[04:41] <Dr_Link> This is a  year model199x computer.
[04:41] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: LAMP
[04:41] <pete83> rockets: that is easy to find out
[04:41] <aib_42> Henk: well their ordering would be fuzzy, I've never worked with such a MBR
[04:41] <Dr_Link> Everything went fine up to here.
[04:41] <ianweller> Dr_Link: k.
[04:41] <ianweller> Dr_Link: try hitting ctrl-alt-f1
[04:41] <rockets> pete83, ive been looking, havent found any
[04:41] <ShackJack> thinlace: YOU have DRI mode 666 and dri glx in modules section of xorg?
[04:41] <orbisvicis> !kernelsource
[04:41] <aib_42> Henk: like, it's physically the third in line, yet it would be sda1?
[04:41] <bulmer> ianweller: okay...i dont know what to tell you...
[04:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernelsource - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:41] <orbisvicis> !kernel-source
[04:41] <ubotu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[04:42] <Dr_Link> There we go.
[04:42] <pete83> rockets: open synaptic, find the gstreamer package, right click, go to properties>>dpendencies>>dependant packages
[04:42] <Henk> aib_42: the last thing I want happening is making the windows partition unaccessible cuz I need the data that's on it :(
[04:42] <ianweller> bulmer: should i start screaming like a chicken asking for help from somebody else then?
[04:42] <Dr_Link> It's telling me Loading...
[04:42] <thinlace> shackjack i have dri mode 666 but not dri glx
[04:42] <Dr_Link> ANyway,
[04:42] <thinlace> what is the 2nd one?
[04:42] <rockets> pete83, good point
[04:42] <Kuprin> Just tried the Ubu alt installer on my video problem, and IT starts to a blank screen after I hit "install in text mode"
[04:42] <watwatada> hello
[04:42] <ianweller> Dr_Link: ok so it isn't frozend
[04:42] <Henk> aib_42: how do you mean?
[04:42] <watwatada> igotfree
[04:42] <ianweller> Dr_Link: try hitting ctrl-alt-f7 now
[04:42] <bulmer> ianweller: have you tried the hard disk you transferred over?
[04:42] <ShackJack> thinlace: Up at top -- check again -- under modules they should be ther by default...
[04:42] <ianweller> bulmer: yes, and that is what brought me here
[04:42] <ianweller> :D
[04:42] <bulmer> ianweller: yah you can ask anyone else
[04:42] <ianweller> anyone else: help?
[04:42] <Dr_Link> Eh
[04:42] <Dr_Link> nothing.
[04:42] <aib_42> Henk: like swap is sectors 1-10, linux is 11-100, windows is 101-3000 whatever
[04:43] <Dr_Link> It still says Loading, please wait...
[04:43] <Henk> aib_42: yeah thats right
[04:43] <ianweller> okay uh hit ctrl-alt-f2
[04:43] <ShackJack> !enter | Dr_Link
[04:43] <ubotu> Dr_Link: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:43] <ianweller> Dr_Link: ^^
[04:43] <thinlace> oh wait, yes i do have it
[04:43] <Dr_Link> ...
[04:43] <aib_42> Henk: well, the partition editor shouldn't touch anything but the MBR, and we have a backup of the MBR, right?
[04:43] <ShackJack> thinlace: And you say you installed xserver-xgl ?
[04:43] <Dr_Link> ianweller: So do I just "please wait" for now?
[04:44] <Luke> Does anyone know how to take one harddrive and create a mirror raid1 with a second harddrive while persisting the data from the first?
[04:44] <MikeVacc> hmm, no-body seems to me awake in #ubuntu-effects.. I realize that this is not an open discussion on those types of things.. WOuld anybody knoledgable about Beryl contact me??
[04:44] <Henk> aib_42: yup we do I don't know where it is though :p
[04:44] <aib_42> Henk: /tmp/MBRbackup?
[04:44] <Henk> aib_42: I just did the command u gave me
[04:44] <ianweller> Dr_Link: give it another 5 minutes and if it doesn't do anything just reboot it manually, it won't harm anything (hopefully)
[04:44] <thinlace> absolutely i am able to start an xgl session it just won't render properly
[04:44] <aib_42> =)
[04:44] <rockets> HAHAHA juk depends on gstreamer
[04:44] <ianweller> Dr_Link: if it isn't installing anything it shouldn't be a problem just to reboot
[04:44] <thinlace> i installed it with this: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl
[04:44] <bean-oh> RyukZilla, lamp runs on any linux. doesn't matter if its server or desktop. if you're totally new to linux you're better off learning in a desktop environment.
[04:44] <Henk> aib_42: yeah its there
[04:44] <ShackJack> thinlace: does it start "slow" -- diagnol wipe of checkboard  pattern?
[04:44] <aib_42> Henk: (I should copy it to the USB drive)
[04:45] <Dr_Link> I just saw the boot menu and pressed enter after hilighting the start/install Ubuntu option... and then it started...
[04:45] <odd> Hello, I was curious as to what to do about "HID create error 13 (Permission denied)" when attempting to connect to my bluetooth mouse and keyboard?
[04:45] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: Thanks, im downloading ubuntu 7.04 desktop
[04:45] <Frogzoo_> racarter: imagemagick's probably best for tiff -> jpg
[04:45] <thinlace> it gets passed any checkboard pattern and renders the real desktop. but when you go to interact with the desktop you realiez its like a frozen image, there's no response rendered. meaning clicking on icons doesn't highlight them
[04:45] <ShackJack> thinlace: not what I asked....
[04:45] <aib_42> Henk: the last thing I want to be is the cause of the loss of your data :)
[04:45] <thinlace> and clicking on the top menu bar doesn't bring out menus. its like the whole thing is frozen, except my mouse is fine and renders around
[04:45] <thinlace> oh
[04:45] <twixster> can anyone help me with two graphics cards and three monitors and getting them setup
[04:45] <Dr_Link> So...
[04:46] <Dr_Link> I hope it'll be saffe.
[04:46] <thinlace> i don't think so no, it doesn't start slow
[04:46] <ShackJack> thinlace: need to know for sure...
[04:46] <Henk> aib_42:  I know :) I copied it to the usb stick
[04:46] <The_Gun_Man> Hello
[04:46] <thinlace> should i go start another session? ok. i will. so look for the checkboard that starts when x starts?
[04:46] <ShackJack> thinlace: You have composite disabled in xorg.conf?
[04:46] <thinlace> and see if its slowly rendered in a diagnol wipe?
[04:46] <thinlace> yup
[04:46] <nj786> i am trying to install a .exe file how do i install it? do i use wine file?
[04:46] <thinlace> 	Option "Composite" "Disable"
[04:46] <thinlace> 	Option "Composite" "0
[04:47] <thinlace> i have both in there, but i've had just the first one in the past
[04:47] <thinlace> i've seen examples with both
[04:47] <atoponce> how can i find out what soundcards are on my system?
[04:47] <aib_42> Henk: What I don't understand is why you're getting the "12 no such device" error...
[04:47] <thinlace> i have this as the last item in the conf Section "ServerFlags"
[04:47] <thinlace>    	Option "AIGLX" "off"
[04:47] <ShackJack> thinlace: First is fine - that's in Extensions section?
[04:47] <thinlace> yes in extensions section at the bottom, 2nd to last
[04:47] <atoponce> i have 3 (don't ask), and i want to make sure i'm using the right one
[04:47] <Henk> aib_42: neither do i :s
[04:47] <thinlace> server flags is last with option aiglx off
[04:47] <Dr_Link> OK, time for a hard shutoff.
[04:47] <atoponce> i don't know the name of the soundcard
[04:47] <pete83> !wine nj786
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wine nj786 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:48] <pete83> !wine | nj786
[04:48] <ubotu> nj786: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:48] <atoponce> of which, i should open the case, and see
[04:48] <Dr_Link> I'm scared.
[04:48] <atoponce> before i do, any ideas?
[04:48] <thinlace> what about this, in section "screen" i have device "generic video card"
[04:48] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: I'm not sure what this means, but I followed another guide and now fglrx isn't working, but under restricted drivers manager it says its enabled and in use = /
[04:48] <ShackJack> thinlace: Yeah, sorry everything seems "right" -- just one of the things that irks me about computers...
[04:48] <ShackJack> thinlace: name doesn't matter...
[04:48] <Meta4ical> I should say still isn't working *
[04:48] <aib_42> Henk: did you try FIXBOOT + FIXMBR + BOOTCFG /rebuild btw?
[04:48] <HorizonXP> hey guys, how do I force update-manager to NOT update a package? Is it aptitude hold pkgname?
[04:48] <thinlace> ok
[04:48] <pawan> what is linyxmint
[04:48] <nj786> what is wine gecko?
[04:49] <thinlace> well i'll go start x again with xgl and see if i get a diagnol wipe
[04:49] <thinlace> brb ok
[04:49] <Henk> aib_42: yeah I did but I might just be trying to fix the usb drive..
[04:49] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver      does it say fglrx there?
[04:49] <ianweller> what is the answer to life the universe and everything?
[04:49] <ianweller> >.>
[04:49] <Dr_Link> OK, wish me luck as I restart my computer and get ready for ubuntu.
[04:49] <nevrosis> hi !! i have ubuntu 7.04 and an Asus M2V-TVM  can the 5.1 work?how?thank you!
[04:49] <Henk> since I copied the files to d: and ther appeared on my usb drive..
[04:49] <ShackJack> ianweller: 42
[04:49] <ianweller> Dr_Link: k
[04:49] <atoponce> pawan: linuxmint is just another linux distro
[04:49] <pete83> atoponce: you might learn something by typing:     sudo lshw -class multimedia
[04:49] <ianweller> ShackJack: shh, don't let the others know
[04:49] <ianweller> :D
[04:49] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Yes .. but it also says vesa? ;o
[04:49] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: It says fglrx and vesa?
[04:49] <atoponce> pete83: thx a bunch. checking now
[04:50] <MikeVacc> Ill ask just a last time, and then I will stop.. But can Anybody help with Beryl? (#Ubuntu-effects is dead)
[04:50] <Meta4ical> when I installed the drivers they added a new line or whatever
[04:50] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: does one have a comment sign in front (pound sign)
[04:50] <ShackJack> MikeVacc: no, not here... but do you need a guide or something?
[04:50] <Meta4ical> Shackjack: nope
[04:50] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: Only one of those should be active - but to be trouthfull I forgot your issue... fglrx working then you should comment out delete vesa in xorg.conf
[04:50] <Dr_Link> Alright
[04:51] <Dr_Link> I'm running a Check CD for Defects...
[04:51] <MikeVacc> ShackJack: I've looked at most of the literature, it has to do with ovveriding the gtktree, however I would not know how to do that, and it seems that it is a 'drag and drop' problem..
[04:51] <atoponce> pete83: it's only showing 2 of the 3
[04:51] <Dr_Link> just to make sure the disk is good to go.
[04:51] <aib_42> Henk: (checking some more google results)
[04:51] <ShackJack> Dr_Link: That will take a while be patient...
[04:51] <atoponce> 2 are pci, one is on the mobo
[04:51] <nevrosis> somebody can help me please?
[04:51] <atoponce> would that make a difference?
[04:51] <pawan> what are the other various linux distro
[04:51] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Issue was simple, the fglrx drivers aren't working on my x1550, when I reboot it goes to a black screen before the login screen
[04:51] <atoponce> pawan: google search for 'linux distros'
[04:51] <ShackJack> MikeVacc: Whew - you lost me... You should check out COmpiz Fusion instead - Beryl is the past...
[04:52] <pete83> atoponce: well, if you take off the "-class multimedia" part of that command, it will show everything
[04:52] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: but you hear login sounds?
[04:52] <MikeVacc> alrighty
[04:52] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Nope, I even tried logging in despite being blind
[04:52] <Henk> aib_42:  alright
[04:52] <ShackJack> MikeVacc: help.ubuntu.com has good guide
[04:52] <nj786> i am using wine file to install this program that is .exe but it is asking me to install flash 8
[04:52] <MikeVacc> ShackJack: Thanks, I appreciate your help! :)
[04:52] <ianweller> nj786: maybe you should install flash 8 :D
[04:52] <nj786> ianweller: how? from where?
[04:53] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Here's what I mean by them both being posted, http://pastebin.com/d519c6149
[04:53] <keen> shackjack i found a tutorial i'm following now, i'll let you know if it works =)
[04:53] <ianweller> nj786: the internet
[04:53] <ianweller> :)
[04:53] <atoponce> pete83: may be a bit overwhelming, i think
[04:53] <atoponce> :)
[04:53] <pete83> nj786: what is the program you are trying to install, anyways?
[04:53] <thinlace> shackjack no i don't see a checkerboard whipe, i see a solid checkboard instantly with no wipe
[04:53] <Meta4ical> oh and to give you an idea of what i've done, I finished method 1 of this guide with no success https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[04:53] <thinlace> its just there and then the desktop image loads
[04:53] <nj786> pete83: carbon poker
[04:54] <thinlace> should i do a screen grab to show you how the top is not rendered?
[04:54] <Meta4ical> and after doing method 2 it now says "in use"
[04:54] <Dr_Link> Alright, I need a tour of Ubuntu, can anyone get me an online one? *google*
[04:54] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: O.K. nevermind - doing it this way is acceptable -- using differnet identifiers, etc...
[04:54] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: I didn't do it lol :P
[04:54] <nj786> pete83: where do i find flash 8?
[04:54] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: It seems your running the fglrx driver -- what does fglrxinfo say?
[04:54] <kennyn> Hello I am new here
[04:54] <family> Hello, first time using an IRC client and IMing in general. I am in dire need of help regarding the shutdown and hibernate process. HAL has "failed", according to Ubuntu, and the shutdown screen freezes. Every time I need to shut off my computer, I have to manually power it down. :(.  I tried the deb from here (http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=pidgin) but i cannot find where it installed to. Help?
[04:56] <family> Hello, first time using an IRC client and IMing in general. I am in dire need of help regarding the shutdown and hibernate process. HAL has "failed", according to Ubuntu, and the shutdown screen freezes. Every time I need to shut off my computer, I have to manually power it down. :(. Unhealthy!
[04:56] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: Default Screen should be aticonfig-Screen[0]
[04:56] <atoponce> kennyn: who did you order your domains from?
[04:56] <kennyn> godaddy
[04:56] <pete83> nj786: you know, it would be far easier to find a poker program for linux
[04:56] <kennyn> i have that
[04:56] <kennyn> and i know where to go
[04:56] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: under screen section...
[04:56] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: I actually thought that myself ;o
[04:56] <kennyn> but where do i enter my name servers into my apache server here
[04:56] <atoponce> kennyn: and have you gone through the total dns control tool?
[04:56] <kennyn> no
[04:56] <kennyn> i dont believe
[04:56] <kennyn> also let you know
[04:56] <nj786> pete83: i think i found it tell me if this would work     http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_flash_player
[04:56] <kennyn> i am behind a netgear router
[04:56] <atoponce> you don't enter your name servers in apache. you need to tell godaddy what ip to point the domains to
[04:57] <kennyn> that is the thing
[04:57] <atoponce> kennyn: and you'll need to open up port 80
[04:57] <drgonzo_> Alright, I think I tracked down the source of my USB permission problems in /etc/udev/rules.d
[04:57] <drgonzo_> # USB devices (usbfs replacement)
[04:57] <drgonzo_> SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",		MODE="0664"
[04:57] <pete83> nj786: no, that is not what your program wants
[04:57] <kennyn> i have a isp that has dynamic ips
[04:57] <family> Hello, first time using an IRC client and IMing in general. I am in dire need of help regarding the shutdown and hibernate process. HAL has "failed", according to Ubuntu, and the shutdown screen freezes. Every time I need to shut off my computer, I have to manually power it down. :(. Unhealthy!
[04:57] <nj786> pete83: oh then...?
[04:57] <dk0r> family ! Stop spamming!
[04:57] <atoponce> kennyn: then it may be best to look into dyndns or homeip.net...
[04:57] <family> Sprry!! \
[04:57] <drgonzo_> how do I change this so ownership of USB devices is automatically assigned to my user?
[04:57] <pete83> nj786: oh wait, nevermind.... it might work, if you install it with wine
[04:57] <kennyn> set router to foward to port 80
[04:57] <family> Somebody please help? Sorry, again/
[04:57] <kennyn> i already have server listen to 80
[04:57] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: OK I'm going to reboot with the changes, wish me luck :)
[04:57] <nj786> pete83: meaning?
[04:57] <dk0r> family:  reinstall ubuntu
[04:57] <atoponce> kennyn: yeah. you'll need 80 open and pointing to the web server box
[04:58] <Dr_Link> I think I know why the screen went black earlier.
[04:58] <chrisLAbeard> is it possible to install ubuntu without burning to a dvd/cd on a ppc mac
[04:58] <aib_42> Henk: found nothing much :/
[04:58] <kennyn> ok will try
[04:58] <kennyn> give me a second
[04:58] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: yes.
[04:58] <Henk> aib_42:  so what we gonna try?
[04:58] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: with virtual pc
[04:58] <chrisLAbeard> ?
[04:58] <isxios> quick question, how do I manage the size of the icons on my desktop in Mint/Ubuntu? In CentOS I just use the filemanagement preference pane, but that is not in the Ubuntu Gnome desktop
[04:58] <Dr_Link> It was a screen dimmer.
[04:58] <Dr_Link> =)
[04:58] <kennyn> done
[04:58] <aib_42> Henk: apparently you can press TAB to see a list of options in the command prompt
[04:58] <kennyn> with the router
[04:59] <pete83> nj786: meaning give it a try... but be warned that probably nobody has ever tried CarbonPoker in WINE, so there is no guarantee that it is even possible
[04:59] <kennyn> how to i find out if i installed the dynamic dns stuff right
[04:59] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: wtf does virtual pc have to do with it ?
[04:59] <dk0r> Can someone please help me install pidgin? I tried the deb from here (http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=pidgin) but i cannot find where it installed to. Help?
[04:59] <aib_42> Henk: what happens when you type grub>     root (hd0,   and press tab?
[04:59] <biladigital> i need to install 915resolution to get my monitor to run at the right ratio. but it seems that i have to install it everytime i reboot, which is less than convenient...anyway to automatically install 915resolution on startup?
[04:59] <Andy249> I got a problem, I just installed ubuntu, and I made all of my second HD(200gb) to "/" file disk
[04:59] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: oh sorry i want to try and install it without having to boot up
[04:59] <Andy249> So I cant create any folders what so ever there
[04:59] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: just stay in os x
[04:59] <Dr_Link> Anyone here know what language Ubuntu is programmed in?
[04:59] <atoponce> kennyn: you need to setup an account with a dynamic dns provider, like homeip.net
[04:59] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: thats ridiculous
[04:59] <kennyn> is it free
[05:00] <kennyn> or i can find a free one
[05:00] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: haha sorry tell me the other way im open
[05:00] <penguinistakc> Any249: You can create folders there, you just have to be root
[05:00] <atoponce> kennyn: they're all free
[05:00] <Henk> aib_42:  just gives me a normal tab
[05:00] <kennyn> ok
[05:00] <atoponce> afaik
[05:00] <kennyn> give me a second will set one up
[05:00] <bulmer> Dr_Link: the core part is in C
[05:00] <Dr_Link> I KNEW IT
[05:00] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: why cant u burn a disc?
[05:00] <pete83> Dr_Link: most coding is done in English
[05:00] <Andy249> And how do I be root? >.<
[05:00] <atoponce> kennyn: i gotta run
[05:00] <|rt|> hey guys I'm trying to install feisty using the alternative installer cd and it's hanging when trying to detect my network card....any ideas to get around this?
[05:00] <Dr_Link> every OS is in C these days...
[05:00] <Dr_Link> I am learning C++. :(
[05:00] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: im at a beach house with no cd/dvds
[05:00] <dk0r> |rt|: unplug your nic
[05:00] <Dr_Link> Of course...
[05:00] <kennyn> i hope there is someone else that can help me here
[05:00] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: and just wanted to try it if its not possible i can just wait
[05:00] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: haha! awesome!
[05:00] <atoponce> Dr_Link: kde is programmed in c++
[05:00] <penguinistakc> Andy249 sudo mkdir /dirname
[05:00] <aib_42> Henk: maybe you should be at the command line after you boot
[05:00] <|rt|> dk0r: ok I'll give that a try
[05:01] <aib_42> Henk: you said you had a laptop?
[05:01] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: i believe you can do  a network install
[05:01] <biladigital> lol, its like a ubuntu moshpit in here.
[05:01] <dk0r> |rt|: is it a onboard?
[05:01] <atoponce> Dr_Link: depends on what you want to contribute to
[05:01] <Henk> aib_42: yep got vista on it
[05:01] <dk0r> an*
[05:01] <penguinistakc> But if you are looking for folders for your personal files, create them in your home directory. You don't have to be root for that -- /home/username
[05:01] <Dr_Link> the reason I am getting Ubuntu (well, one reason) is so I can compile my C++ programs under a Linux environment.
[05:01] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: awww i need another computer
[05:01] <dk0r> chris... what?
[05:01] <atoponce> the kernel, a window managor, or software packages
[05:01] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: why ?
[05:01] <aib_42> Henk: got MSN or google talk?
[05:01] <Andy249> Thats only for creating folders tho?
[05:01] <Henk> msn
[05:01] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: ohh i thought network would mean i need another computer
[05:01] <pete83> Dr_Link: oh, you mean PROGRAMMING language... Ubuntu is a collection of various programs, written in whatever the programmer wanted to use.... a lot use c, C++, and there is a fast growing amount written in Python and even c# with mono
[05:01] <Dr_Link> Then i can put 'em on upload.com so they will appear on download.com and they will be awesomely compatible.
[05:02] <|rt|> dk0r: yes it's an nforce2 chipset
[05:02] <Dr_Link> Eww, C#
[05:02] <Andy249> kk
[05:02] <aib_42> Henk: http://pastebin.com/d65942088
[05:02] <Andy249> question
[05:02] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: you sound like the kind of guy who should just stay on osx
[05:02] <daaku> anyone know what these lines mean in auth.log: Jul 29 06:47:58 hostname CRON[10429] : (pam_unix) session open/closed for user root
[05:02] <Andy249> How do I un install ubuntu
[05:02] <dk0r> |rt|: hrm. well it should be well supported. installing feisty?
[05:02] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: yeah im very new to linux i have it on 2 pcs at home but doing things with macs is pretty different
[05:02] <Henk> aib_42: ill start it and add u
[05:02] <|rt|> dk0r: works with the live cd installer
[05:02] <aib_42> kk
[05:02] <aib_42> brb
[05:02] <Henk> k
[05:02] <spartanz> hello spartanz!!
[05:02] <dk0r> |rt|: but not the alt huh ?
[05:02] <penguinistakc> Andy249: The only way you uninstall Ubuntu is to delete it from your drive. The easiest way to do that is just to repartition
[05:02] <pete83> Dr_Link: lol, I agree with you on C#.   Do you want to program GUI programs?
[05:03] <dk0r> |rt|:  are you comparing the same versions of ubuntu on both the liv and alt installs?
[05:03] <Jason_D> can anyone help me with beryl
[05:03] <|rt|> dk0r: yeah both 7.04
[05:03] <Dr_Link> Well, actually, I prefer making console programs
[05:03] <Andy249> penguinistakc: And to repartion I do? =)
[05:03] <Dr_Link> but I'm trying to pick up on GUI coding in C++...
[05:03] <dk0r> Jason_d goto #compiz-fusion for IMMEDIATE help w/ anything beryl/compiz related
[05:03] <|rt|> dk0r: i can disable the onboard network in the bios if that gets me past installation
[05:03] <dk0r> |rt|: naturally but.. hrm
[05:04] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: I still recieved a black screen, but I didn't change the aticonfig line back "Default Screen" and it still worked when I went back to vesa
[05:04] <Dr_Link> eventually, when I'm acquainted with C++ Win32 coding, I'll start learning Linux GUI coding.
[05:04] <dk0r> |rt|: what kind of error are you given ?
[05:04] <penguinistakc> Andy249: The easy way to repartition is to insert the Ubuntu Live CD in your cd-rom, boot it up, and then open a terminal. In the terminal, run cfdisk /dev/yourdrivehere
[05:04] <Andy249> Question is; How do I repartition in ubuntu
[05:04] <kennyn> ok i have registred for an account with DynDNS
[05:04] <|rt|> dk0r: no error...just hangs
[05:04] <Pie-rate> There needs to be a bootloader configureing program in ubuntu. it could just be really simple, just able to move items up and down, so that lusers can make Windows the default if they want to.
[05:04] <Andy249> ty
[05:04] <pete83> Dr_Link: ok, well if you want cross-platform GUI's for c++, you need to look into QT or gtkmm.. and make the tough choice
[05:04] <kennyn> but i dont want to pay for name servers
[05:04] <kennyn> any idea on how to set my own
[05:04] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: you can humor me if you want w/ the network install
[05:04] <Dr_Link> meh
[05:04] <Dr_Link> most of my stuff is console based...
[05:04] <|rt|> dk0r: i even opened another terminal and tailed the log
[05:04] <penguinistakc> Andy249 You can't repartition while the drive you want to partition ismounted
[05:04] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: Stay on osx.
[05:04] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: aww come on man
[05:04] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: and Restricted Drivers Manager now says "Not in use" again
[05:04] <dk0r> |rt|: it just sits there?
[05:04] <Andy249> k
[05:04] <biladigital> i'll be patient
[05:05] <daaku> kennyn: you can get one of the free domains - or pay to use their dns services
[05:05] <Andy249> So I'll un-mount it first
[05:05] <|rt|> dk0r: and is unresponsive
[05:05] <Dr_Link> and I am going to be installing XChat onto my Ubuntu-enabled computer first thing, so I can sign on and start getting results.
[05:05] <kennyn> i have a domain already
[05:05] <Rogerio> ola
[05:05] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: ZoneEdit
[05:05] <dk0r> |rt|: you check the md5 of the install?
[05:05] <|rt|> dk0r: have to hard power cycle it to get it to come back around
[05:05] <kennyn> what is ZoneEdit
[05:05] <Getnikar> Anyone know how to install via netboot and then install from something on the LAN. I got the netboot part working (bootpd + tftp) , just need help on installing over the LAN.
[05:05] <keen> shackjack, i found the answer!
[05:05] <Rogerio> ola
[05:05] <dk0r> |rt|: did you do the checksum
[05:05] <dk0r> ?
[05:05] <kennyn> i told you I am a newbee
[05:05] <|rt|> dk0r: i'll tell it to check the disk
[05:05] <pete83> Dr_Link: that's certainly nicer.. by the way, the channel here called ##C++  (that is with two #'s) is really great
[05:05] <dk0r> |rt|:  no no.
[05:05] <Dr_Link> I was on it earlier before XChat crashed.
[05:06] <dk0r> |rt|: the md5 info hash. Your alt install should of came with an md5 file.
[05:06] <Dr_Link> And I hope there is something similar to Ctrl+Alt+Delete in Ubuntu...
[05:06] <|rt|> dk0r: ok i'll check the md5 of the iso
[05:06] <dk0r> |rt|: yes.
[05:06] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Are you there?
[05:06] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: free :)  zoneedit.com, I bought my domain through them, but you don't have to, and just tell what IP to send stuff to through the web interface.
[05:06] <kennyn> k that is the thing
[05:06] <kennyn> i have a isp that has dynamc ips
[05:06] <dk0r> tonyyarusso: you can also use free services. noip, etc.
[05:06] <kennyn> how do i know what IP address to give them
[05:06] <pete83> Dr_Link: you can set up your ctrl-alt-del binding to do whatever you want... I have mine open the system monitor, kind of like Windows XP
[05:06] <penguinistakc> Pie-rate Just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:07] <Dr_Link> Oooh!
[05:07] <Dr_Link> Ubuntu sounds/looks so fun!
[05:07] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: i KNOW how to change the bootloader
[05:07] <tupa> how is find used?, I want to find all files named wizard.png (already read the man, did find / wizard.png, but it echoes all files in my system)
[05:07] <ianweller> Dr_Link: did the live cd boot?
[05:07] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: From wherever your site is?
[05:07] <ianweller> ehe i just about typed lice cd
[05:07] <Dr_Link> ianweller: In the process.
[05:07] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: there should be a GUI tool for it, though.
[05:07] <kennyn> k like i said i am newbee
[05:07] <|rt|> dk0r: check cd seems to be doinig md5sum on all the deb files on the cd
[05:07] <kennyn> i am just confused
[05:07] <kennyn> i installed apache2, php, and so on
[05:07] <penguinistakc> Getnikar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/Netboot
[05:07] <kennyn> on a box here at home
[05:08] <Dr_Link> I ran an integrity check on the CD this time, ianweller. No problems...
[05:08] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: not for my benefit, i'd still edit the config. your average luser, however, does not edit the config, and laughs in your face and switches back to windows if you ask him to.
[05:08] <kennyn> I have a static ip set to my box through the router of <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:08] <penguinistakc> Pie-rate: I can see your point. There isn't one in windows, either -- you have to manually edit the boot files
[05:09] <youknowme> how do I set up a randomly changing desktop picture?
[05:09] <|rt|> dk0r: md5 checks out
[05:09] <dk0r> |rt|: piss.
[05:09] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: so? "oh windows doesn't have it... why bother with innovative features if they don't clone windows"
[05:09] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: :)
[05:09] <dk0r> |rt|: idk how that will work disabling it for install.. and then enabling after.
[05:09] <|rt|> dk0r: can i use the live cd installer and then convert the boot and / over to md raid 1 after the fact?
[05:09] <dk0r> youre using raid?
[05:10] <bean-oh> is there a tried and true way to do wireless bridging from the host with virtualbox?
[05:10] <|rt|> if i remember correctly the md raid 1 metadata is at the end of the partitions
[05:10] <|rt|> dk0r: not yet....i would like to
[05:10] <DShepherd> the new frostwire doesn't seem to want to accept input from my keyboard. anyone else have this problem?
[05:10] <biladigital> i need to install 915resolution to get my monitor to run at the right ratio. but it seems that i have to install it everytime i reboot, which is less than convenient...anyway to automatically install 915resolution on startup?
[05:10] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: there should be a system->administration->edit boot menu
[05:10] <dk0r> |rt|: so whatr u on about raid1 metadata?
[05:10] <penguinistakc> Pie-rate: Touche. However, I think editing menu.lst is not something one wants a "luser" to do under any circumstances, gui or not.
[05:10] <kennyn> ok anyone there can help me
[05:11] <kennyn> i have signed up for ZOneEdit
[05:11] <|rt|> dk0r: but I'll try disabling the NIC and going with the alternative
[05:11] <kennyn> and added my domain
[05:11] <pete83> youknowme: install the package "wallpaper-tray"
[05:11] <|rt|> dk0r: the cd's self check checked out too
[05:11] <dk0r> |rt|: why you using alt anyways?
[05:11] <|rt|> dk0r: so i can install on a md device
[05:11] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: if said "luser" has set up ubuntu with the "resize partition and use free space" method, and wants to put Windows at the top of the menu, then they should be able to.
[05:11] <dk0r> MD?
[05:11] <penguinistakc> Pie-rate: Not necessarily because of loyalty to one OS or the other, but because the risk of mutilating ones MBR is greater than the potential benefits of easily changing the default.
[05:11] <dk0r> minidisc?
[05:11] <|rt|> dk0r: software raid
[05:11] <biladigital> edit the boot menu...hmm... sure as hell dont know how to do that...google here i come
[05:11] <Dr_Link> ...uh oh.
[05:11] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: which is why the tool needs to be simple and bulletproof.
[05:12] <tonyyarusso> Pie-rate, penguinistakc: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/graphical-grub-config
[05:12] <dk0r> |rt|: hrm.. you know Im going to need to install raid myself pretty soon
[05:12] <Dr_Link> killed process 5245 (ld_static)
[05:12] <Pie-rate> tonyyarusso: i figured it'd already have been suggested.
[05:12] <dk0r> |rt|: is your controller officially supported?
[05:12] <Dr_Link> Killed
[05:12] <kennyn> k i just got my name servers and i am going into godaddy to change them
[05:12] <tonyyarusso> Pie-rate: so subscribe to the spec and help make it happen ;)
[05:12] <asdf> What does this mean when I put in the ubuntu 7.04 install disc
[05:12] <asdf> (initramfs) :
[05:12] <|rt|> dk0r: it's a software raid.....no controller
[05:12] <asdf> /bin/sh : Cannot access tty; job control turned off
[05:12] <Dr_Link> Out of memory: kill process 5283 (S10udev) score 58 or a child
[05:12] <Dr_Link> what does this stuff mean?
[05:13] <dk0r> |rt|: its supported tho ?
[05:13] <Dr_Link> It has killed three processes due to memory loss so far...
[05:13] <|rt|> dk0r: I want the OS parition to be RAID1 and my DATA (LVM) to be RAID5
[05:13] <keen> i want to make a partion for file storage, where should i set the mount point?
[05:13] <Dr_Link> and now I just see a blinking cursor underneath all of this stuff.
[05:13] <|rt|> dk0r: yes
[05:13] <Dr_Link> The computer is idling.
[05:13] <Dr_Link> Should I just switch it off and call it a night?
[05:13] <dk0r> |rt|: do you use other distros?
[05:14] <|rt|> dk0r: i have in the past but i've been using ubuntu for about a year now
[05:14] <DShepherd> ok..never mind my question ^^ it just started working now.. weird though
[05:14] <keen> anyone?
[05:14] <Dr_Link> ...hello?
[05:14] <dk0r> sIm thinking about sabayon
[05:14] <|rt|> dk0r: maybe it's been about 2 years on ubuntu....started with dapper
[05:14] <orbisvicis> anyone recommend a good mic ?
[05:14] <kennyn> Ok my name servers have now been changed to zoneedit name servers
[05:14] <Zeno> Hello.
[05:14] <kennyn> is that all i have to do
[05:14] <aib_42> Henk: still there?
[05:14] <dk0r> |rt|: tried sabayon?
[05:14] <orbisvicis> cheap, usb/3.5 mm mic
[05:15] <dk0r> gentoo or deb?
[05:15] <kennyn> or is there something in the apache files i need to change
[05:15] <orbisvicis> alsa/linux compatible
[05:15] <|rt|> dk0r: disabling the NIC seemed to get me past that hang
[05:15] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: you have to set up zoneedit to forward to the IP, but otherwise yes
[05:15] <keen> or does it not matter???
[05:15] <reflous> any of you guys use google desktop for ubuntu? (is it any good?)
[05:15] <|rt|> dk0r: sabayon is a distro?
[05:15] <Dr_Link> the computer is idle.
[05:15] <Dr_Link> After killing 3 processes.
[05:15] <dk0r> http://sabayonlinux.org
[05:15] <kennyn> i am sorry tony but what IP are you talking about
[05:15] <Dr_Link> Should I just switch it off?
[05:15] <Dr_Link> (this is during startup)
[05:15] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: The IP of the box at home, where the traffic has to end up.
[05:15] <kennyn> i am so new it is pituful
[05:15] <kennyn> ok that is where i am a bit confused
[05:15] <dk0r> |rt|: how do you think ubuntu will handle the nic when it see's it after installation ?
[05:16] <kennyn> it never asked me for an ip
[05:16] <kennyn> that is zoneedit
[05:16] <|rt|> dk0r: just gotta load the module....shouldn't be a problem
[05:16] <keen> i'm installing fresh and want to make a second partition for storage, where should i mount the drive and what file system should i use?
[05:16] <Dr_Link> . The CD drive just unmounted itself, I just heard the "click' sound.
[05:16] <dk0r> |rt|: will it even recognize it ?
[05:16] <Dr_Link> Yep, time to call it a night.
[05:16] <chris__> guys, I Cant seem to enable desktop effects, the screen goes white. And when I install the GLX nvidia driver. A popup appears saying I cannot use desktop effects (or something like that) what can I Do?
[05:16] <|rt|> dk0r: sure
[05:16] <kennyn> and i am not sure how to tell what my ip is because i have an Internet service provider
[05:16] <dk0r> |rt|: is there a ui for that type of thing?
[05:16] <Henk> aib_42: yeah had some probs with the laptop but its up and running now
[05:16] <kennyn> that uses dynamic IPS
[05:16] <|rt|> dk0r: a ui for loading a module?
[05:16] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: The "IP addresses" tab, you just said your IP, no?
[05:16] <chris__> guys, I Cant seem to enable desktop effects, the screen goes white. And when I install the GLX nvidia driver. A popup appears saying I cannot use desktop effects (or something like that) what can I Do?
[05:16] <dk0r> |rt|: thats a no?

[05:17] <chris__> guys, I Cant seem to enable desktop effects, the screen goes white. And when I install the GLX nvidia driver. A popup appears saying I cannot use desktop effects (or something like that) what can I Do?
[05:17] <asdf> When I boot the live cd it goes straight to a shell and says /bin/sh : Cannot access tty; job control turned off
[05:17] <bluekoala> Did you install the 64 bit version?
[05:17] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: ah, dynamic's less fun.  you could do a cloaked forward to something like dyndns then...
[05:17] <kennyn> yeah that is an IP that my router is giving it
[05:17] <chris__> 64 bit bersion of what ?
[05:17] <Dr_Link> Well, it appears Windows will reboot just fine if there's ever a screwup with startup on Ubuntu.
[05:17] <Dr_Link> ....aiiiigh.
[05:17] <|rt|> dk0r: ah....well linux is pretty good about autoloading modules that it needs
[05:17] <kennyn> ok i am pretty sure i set that up
[05:17] <bluekoala> Ubuntu
[05:17] <dk0r> |rt\ what irc client you using ?
[05:17] <Zeno> Is there a Tk channel on this server that I can get more specific help?
[05:17] <Dr_Link> I'm so scared of this setup, "I screwed up when partitioning so I had to reformat!"
[05:17] <|rt|> dk0r: so there's a chance that if I enable the NIC and reboot it will just work
[05:17] <chris__> hm, dont know
[05:17] <kennyn> on this box already any idea on how to check that
[05:17] <asdf> When I boot the live cd it goes straight to a shell and says /bin/sh : Cannot access tty; job control turned off

[05:18] <ubotu> Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org
[05:18] <Dr_Link> pawan: Get the ISO, burn it to a CD, and then boot from it.

[05:24] <aib_42> Henk: added you..
[05:24] <mzmaker05> 7.4
[05:25] <Dr_willis> franky123,  gnome has a feature/vnc option that lets it control the 'local/seen' desktop
[05:25] <Dr_willis> but i never use it. :) its slow.
[05:25] <Dr_willis> for me at least
[05:25] <mzmaker05> yeah I use gnome too is the shit

[05:26] <franky123> Dr_willis: How do I enable that? And the remote machine is running XFCE. Will that still work or do I need gnome on the other machine?
[05:26] <Henk> aib_42: apparantly it does :p
[05:26] <Dr_willis> franky123,  no idea. ive seen it.. i never use it. :) the remote box will run vncviewer of some kind.. to get to the  vnc-serving box.
[05:26] <sal002> ARe there more recent kernel debs for ubuntu AMD64?  I want to try a later kvm
[05:26] <Dr_willis> or was that the other way.. :)
