[05:09] <eontasticness_> barbarella2: both of which are found on the net
[05:09] <archangelpetro> what package do syscalls come under?
[05:09] <eontasticness_> variant: yeah
[05:09] <Faust-C> Arplos: i have a alink for yopu
[05:09] <Faust-C> Arplos: sec
[05:09] <variant> Arplos: where you take one command for example "ls -al" and alias it to "lsa"
[05:09] <Faust-C> Arplos: linuxbased.blogspot.com
[05:09] <blahblahblah> there is just so much software in the repos most average users i deal with simply canot find the time to use it all
[05:09] <variant> eontasticness_: any good?
[05:09] <Faust-C> variant: great way to explain it
[05:09] <blahblahblah> infact beyond the stuff i preload on the image i have a hard time getting them to install anything from the repo
[05:10] <andre> I've installed the nvidia-glx and nvidia setting packages, then I've installed beryl but it crashes X when I start beryl manager....  any help?
[05:10] <vox754> Faust-C: ha ha, you see. He doesn't know what an alias is... just strengthens my point... I didn't says anything...
[05:10] <larson9999> eontasticness_: i'm anti commercial for personal use.  and i'm kinda tired of paying for desktops that are basically a reshuffling of the same stuff around so it's hard for me to find in the new version.  like buying a new car and the only real changes are they moved the cup holders to places i'm not used to and don't like.
[05:10] <juano__> hello everyone!
[05:10] <variant> Faust-C: was that sarchasm? :)
[05:10] <blahblahblah> game players of course not, but its getting good
[05:10] <Faust-C> vox754: lol well idk some ppl ...
[05:10] <Faust-C> variant: no that was a compliment
[05:10] <Arplos> Well, this channel has been really, really useful.
[05:10] <variant> ah thanks
[05:10] <eontasticness_> variant:  it still has a long way to go, but it's pretty fast and stable
[05:10] <frogzoo> Arplos: -> ~/.bash_aliases
[05:10] <variant> eontasticness_: niec
[05:10] <Faust-C> Arplos: btw thats my site
[05:10] <blahblahblah> larson9999, yeah thats the other thing.  there is a lot of inefficiency in the capitalist market ... as a capitalist pig thats hard to admit :)
[05:10] <variant> nice*
[05:10] <juano__> andre: i hade this issue some days ago, and then i downloaded beryl from other repos, beryl svn
[05:10] <Faust-C> Arplos: ill be adding vids soon
[05:10] <blahblahblah> everyone tends to reinvent the wheel over there and not play nice
[05:10] <juano__> andre: fixed for me
[05:11] <Arplos> I'm watching it's progress & content.
[05:11] <Nuute> My thanks again to barbarella2.  from complaining about my networking issues to completely working in only a few miserable hours.  Patience is a virtue.  ;)
[05:11] <blahblahblah> Nuute, what turned out to be the issue? just curious
[05:11] <andre> !nvidia9
[05:11] <ubotu> For Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), you can obtain the (unsupported!) 9746 version of the binary NVidia drivers by using this repository: deb http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu edgy stable
[05:11] <juano__> andre: it can be a version incompatibility issue
[05:11] <Arplos> Comunitty rocks.
[05:11] <andre> !beryl
[05:11] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:11] <Faust-C> but not on ubuntu
[05:11] <Nuute> lol ask barbarella2
[05:11] <vox754> variant: we should take everything as compliments, rather than sarcasms.
[05:11] <blahblahblah> beryl works just fine here
[05:11] <Xilon> To ubuntu devs/kernel maintainers: Does the stock Ubuntu kernel have the mactel patchset applied? I would like to get my Macbook working and I heard Ubuntu works very well, I'd like to know why ;)
[05:12] <eontasticness_> larson9999: windows is relatively inexpensive considering it is an operating system that people use every day of their life at work and home ----- granted you and I might know better than to run it, but windows suits most people's needs
[05:12] <vox754> Gator: wassap, man!
[05:12] <larson9999> blahblahblah: so now i only use oss(as far as I know) for personal use.  haven't bought anything for a couple years now.  i just donate yearly to oss projects i use.
[05:12] <blahblahblah> !mactel
[05:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mactel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:12] <blahblahblah> darn
[05:12] <barbarella2> blahblahblah:just some blabla
[05:12] <eontasticness_> larson9999: i've bought software before that i used on a regular basis, because i found it useful
[05:12] <Nuute> blahblahblah:  the last issue to stop my cause was my windows network card causing grief.
[05:12] <eontasticness_> i have some mactels
[05:12] <eontasticness_> macintels
[05:12] <Faust-C> Dr_willis: the fix is format install linux
[05:12] <blahblahblah> larson9999, i particapate my self, *nod*.  i use ubuntu and debian for work as well, i'm lucky
[05:13] <blahblahblah> Nuute, neat, barbarella2 *nod*
[05:13] <larson9999> eontasticness_: yeah, but i decided years ago i've paid enough for windows.
[05:13] <Dr_willis> I finially got my Logitech G15 Keyboard + lcd working with lcdproc. Weee.  :)
[05:13] <rio> what version or variant of ubuntu are you guys using? seems like 6.10 is buggy & keeps crashing on me.  also, i hear that others have switched back to ubuntu 6.06 for stability
[05:14] <eontasticness_> i maintain a lot of bsd systems for work
[05:14] <eontasticness_> but I deal with win2k3 servers as well
[05:14] <eontasticness_> and some slowaris machines
[05:14] <Xilon> No one knows about the kernel here? :(
[05:14] <Arplos> Ubuntu 6.10 is beta.
[05:14] <eontasticness_> i spend more time fixing stupid windows problems than anything
[05:14] <frogzoo> rio: please keep the fud off chan - edgy works fine
[05:14] <eontasticness_> Xilon: i know plenty about the kernel
[05:14] <eontasticness_> Xilon: what do you need to know?
[05:14] <vox754> rio: Ubuntu 6.10, there is currently a bug/crash with new kernel update and NVidia drivers; everything else seems okay.
[05:15] <rio> what fud?
[05:15] <blahblahblah> rio, LTS is pretty darned good.  i'm starting to think that 6 month release cycles are too short for something like a desktop distro
[05:15] <larson9999> eontasticness_: i love windows for WORK.  makes me tons of money.  i'm only talking personal use.
[05:15] <klypso> I am having trouble opening files in KDE
[05:15] <rio> whats LTS?
[05:15] <blahblahblah> larson9999, lol, perpetual work indeed
[05:15] <vox754> Xilon: no, sorry.
[05:15] <Xilon> eontasticness_: Firstly I'd like to know if it has the mactel patchset applied, and secodnly why it works with macbooks so well ;)
[05:15] <blahblahblah> larson9999, i have started a pilot at work, wherever i install linux my calls dissapear
[05:15] <Pelo> g'night folks
[05:15] <larson9999> blahblahblah: think i'm going to name my next car VISTA
[05:15] <blahblahblah> its the weirdest thing, i've never expected that
[05:16] <blahblahblah> your getting a pinto?
[05:16] <klypso> I chose to open my ipod in amarok, and put it as the default for that type of file.  Now when I try to access my home folder, it tried to open it in amarok
[05:16] <blahblahblah> *cough* sorry, couldn't resist
[05:16] <vox754> rio: "fud" is misinformation; LTS means Long Term Support. Bugs and patches will be addresses for three years.
[05:16] <Dante72536> hey i need help anyone
[05:16] <larson9999> blahblahblah: no, i name my toys after the thing at work that paid for them.  gonna have lots of things named vista.  i'll have to come up with a proper naming convention
[05:17] <klypso> I cannot open directories in KDE
[05:17] <blahblahblah> larson9999, rofl, oh wow indeed
[05:17] <eontasticness_> Xilon: you want to know if *what* has the mactel patch applied?
[05:17] <blahblahblah> you know i didn't think about that, so true
[05:17] <cpk1> if I installed a bunch of stuff via apt and it still is in my cache is there a way I can have another computer on the same network pull those same apps from there instead of the web?
[05:17] <klypso> as I have set the default for directories to be opened in amarok
[05:17] <blahblahblah> larson9999, i keep on thinking about how to solve the problem instead of realising how much money it generates
[05:17] <blahblahblah> eh
[05:17] <Dante72536> is there any ubuntu expertor something like that?
[05:17] <Dante72536> o.o?
[05:17] <Dante72536> expert*
[05:18] <blahblahblah> Dante72536, just ask
[05:18] <Dante72536> k
[05:18] <vox754> cpk1: maybe you could fetch the .deb packages from the network.
[05:18] <vox754> !ask > Dante72536
[05:18] <Dante72536> how do you do to unpack the deb file of the adobe flash media player installer?
[05:18] <BigMac> how do I exit sudo su?
[05:18] <vox754> Dante72536, we are no expert, we are volunteers.
[05:18] <BigMac> like go back to regular mode
[05:18] <klypso> BigMac: quit
[05:18] <larson9999> blahblahblah: yeah, ms is the reason i have my job so i can't knock it too much.
[05:18] <Arplos> Type "q"
[05:18] <Xilon> eontasticness_: the stock kernel. I spoke with someone who had Ubuntu working out of the box
[05:18] <klypso> rather, exit
[05:19] <larson9999> time to make the zzz's
[05:19] <klypso> BigMac: ^D or quit
[05:20] <klypso> anyone with a clue of how to fix the directory problem?
[05:20] <eontasticness_> Xilon:  yeah mactel works out of the box w/ ubuntu
[05:20] <vox754> klypso, checked the permissions? they should have read at least.
[05:20] <Xilon> eontasticness_: so it has been applied? Just wondering if it's worth my time recompiling the kernel and patching it...
[05:21] <klypso> vox754: I set the default for directory viewing to be amarok, when opening my ipod
[05:21] <eontasticness_> Xilon: yeah it has been applied ---- it's worth your time to recompile if you have a lot of applications/configs set up already
[05:21] <eontasticness_> otherwise just nuke and reload
[05:21] <eontasticness_> always nice to have a clean start every once in a while
[05:21] <klypso> vox754: now when I try to open my home folder, amarok finds the music in it and plays it, and I do not view it
[05:22] <Xilon> eontasticness_: ok, thanks a lot :)
[05:22] <eontasticness_> no problem
[05:22] <duckvenge> Linux partion extended numbers start from 5 right?
[05:22] <vox754> klypso, ipod? well that is a different matter. I haven't tried that.
[05:23] <vox754> duckvenge: YES.
[05:23] <duckvenge> thanks vox754
[05:23] <kaso> Why have i recently started getting the follow error messages occasionally (when installing with apt, when running certain programs: Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.
[05:23] <klypso> vox754: see, I chose to open the ipod in amarok, and hit the 'set as default for this kind of file' button
[05:23] <firstaid> back
[05:23] <unop> kaso,  what does your $LANG variable contain?
[05:24] <peeps> does anyone here dual/multi boot more than one Linux distro?
[05:24] <vox754> !ipod
[05:24] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[05:24] <duckvenge> in menu.lst, hd1,4  should refer to  partion 5 of hdb right ?
[05:24] <juano__> !rockbox
[05:24] <ubotu> rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for MP3 players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio.  See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started!
[05:24] <juano__> vox754: thanks, i was looking for some info on that
[05:24] <klypso> vox754: the problem is not the ipod, it is the fact that the default opener for directories is amarok
[05:24] <klypso> how can I change that
[05:24] <vox754> klypso, oooh. Got it. seems strange.
[05:25] <klypso> I cannot open directories now
[05:25] <eontasticness_> peeps: only when i was once poor :) --- i used to have a linux install of redhat to do my development and then mandrake as my desktop... that was back in 98 or 99 though and i was stil in HS
[05:25] <kaso> unop i think it says "en_US.UTF-8"
[05:25] <vox754> juano__, thank you for using the irc channel. Be nice and help people.
[05:25] <unop> kaso,  be sure -- use this command - echo $LANG
[05:25] <eontasticness_> now ive got multiple systems
[05:25] <eontasticness_> no need to dual booth
[05:25] <kaso> mmhm
[05:25] <kaso> en_US.UTF-8
[05:26] <braddcadd2000> Hello everyone.  My scanner is detected with "sane-find-scanner" but not with "scanimage -L" or "sudo xsane".  I have Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) and an HP Officejet 5610 (all-in-one) scanner.  The scanner is listed as supported and there are people who have it running on Linux.  Thanks for any help.
[05:26] <juano__> vox754: yep ! thats we are here for :-)
[05:26] <erjing> somebody know how to use mysql.vim wget.vim svn.vim ?
[05:26] <juano__> vox754: actually the thing is i have a motorola rokr with itunes, im trying to sync it with ubuntu
[05:26] <vox754> klypso: and you are using KDE? Can you try "konqueror" on the terminal.
[05:26] <Dr_willis> braddcadd2000,  you may need to install the 'hpoj' hp office jet - server/package
[05:27] <unop> kaso, hmm, i wonder if you are installing  a package meant for another locale/language
[05:27] <klypso> vox754: i'll try that
[05:27] <juano__> vox754: havent been able to with gtkpod and amarok
[05:27] <peeps> I want to give /home it's own partition and let more than one distro read it.  But i think I am running into weird permission issues
[05:27] <braddcadd2000> Dr_willis: thanks, i have done this already too
[05:27] <vox754> juano__, I don't have an Ipod, sorry. Viva las Uruguay!
[05:27] <juano__> vox754: actually with amarok, it detects it and even uploads songs lol! except it doesnt show in the itunes library !
[05:27] <unop> kaso, you could try something like - LANG=en_US sudo aptitude install package
[05:27] <juano__> vox754: once it uploads it doesnt show up
[05:28] <juano__> vox754: Viva Uruguay ! hehe
[05:28] <Dr_willis> braddcadd2000,  im out of ideas then. :) i had to tiddle with some things for my HP1210v (all in one thing) but aint used it in a year+
[05:28] <klypso> vox754: ah, that worked.  Thanks
[05:28] <gnufied> can anyone help me with my graphics pad/tablet work in Ubuntu dapper?
[05:28] <unop> kaso,  or better - LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1  sudo aptitude ....
[05:28] <kaso> i saw it when i was doing the automatic update and i saw the error a couple times, and when i try and run the nvidia config utility it gets the same error, its not just a partiular package
[05:28] <gnufied> driver seems to recognize the hardware, but i am not able to use it as an input device
[05:29] <vox754> klypso: you keep trying to set that as your default viewer.
[05:29] <barbarella2> peeps:yes cause of different gid numbers
[05:29] <braddcadd2000> Dr_willis: thanks anyway, i think i need a sane expert, not many people one that channel though
[05:29] <peeps> barbarella2:  can it be done?
[05:30] <bcardarella> How do I see what is in memory?
[05:30] <bcardarella> from command line
[05:30] <barbarella2> peeps:yes you can
[05:30] <peeps> bcardarella: use top
[05:31] <vox754> bcardarella: "top", "free -m",
[05:31] <peeps> i actually prefer htop, but it is not installed by default
[05:31] <vox754> bcardarella: "cat /proc/meminfo"
[05:32] <Dr_willis> htop is nice.. should be included by default. :)
[05:32] <peeps> barbarella2, can you tell me what I would need to do?
[05:32] <espen> hi, i just installed ubuntu for the first time, awsome distro, soo easy....but i seem to be missing a lot of codecs to the media players......any easy way to install them?
[05:33] <peeps> espen: have you tried automatix?
[05:33] <vox754> !restricted > espen
[05:33] <espen> no, what is that?
[05:33] <gnufied> Dr_willis, help me in making my tablet/graphics work in dapper. plzzzzzzzzzz
[05:33] <peeps> it is a program that makes it easy to install a lot of things like codecs and multimedia apps, etc.
[05:33] <peeps> http://www.getautomatix.com/
[05:34] <Gator> is there a recommended speed to burn the ubuntu liveCD .iso?
[05:34] <Music_Shuffle> !automatix | peeps, espen
[05:34] <ubotu> peeps, espen: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:34] <Dr_willis> gnufied,  what tablet?
[05:34] <arnducky> ewwwww
[05:34] <espen> cool, have just used the install stuff that came with ubu
[05:34] <solidsource> hello....I'm looking for some assistance with that very same program (Automatix)
[05:34] <Music_Shuffle> Gator, not really, if needed, you can burn it slower perhaps.
[05:34] <gnufied> iball graphics pad or some call it tablet also
[05:34] <vox754> Gator: NO. Still having problems?
[05:34] <Music_Shuffle> !automatix | solidsource
[05:34] <gnufied> Dr_willis,
[05:34] <ubotu> solidsource: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:34] <espen> thanx for your help, i'll look into it
[05:34] <Gator> vox: I'm just now getting the iso downloaded >_>
[05:35] <Dr_willis> gnufied,  never seen/heard of it.. you sure its got any linux support at all?
[05:35] <Music_Shuffle> espen, the point of that factoid was that its -not- the best idea...
[05:35] <Gator> I was just wondering if I should burn it faster or slower
[05:35] <peeps> !WorksForMe
[05:35] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[05:35] <vox754> Gator: do the checksum before anything. Also do the memtest.
[05:35] <gnufied> Dr_willis, [17297556.632000]  input: UC-LOGIC Tablet WP5540U as /class/input/input3
[05:36] <Gator> and how do I do that?
[05:36] <solidsource> anyone get this qhen trying to install something: "E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes"
[05:36] <bcardarella> cool, thanks
[05:36] <gnufied> thats what dmesg throws up, when i connect to the PC
[05:36] <Dr_willis> gnufied,  that just means its seen... :) and printingout an id code..
[05:36] <Gator> Vox: How do I do the checksum?
[05:36] <Dr_willis> gnufied,  set the xorg.conf to use it as a input device perhaps?
[05:37] <nevron> people i need help installing nvidia drivers is there a better channel to ask this or am i in the right place
[05:37] <barbarella2> Gator:are you using a rewritable cd?
[05:37] <Gator> no
[05:37] <vox754> Gator: I mean, when you have downloaded the ISO, you can run the Live CD and do the checksum before installing. Also you can search an executable "md5sum.exe" for Windows that lets you check the iso. You need a long number from the same page you got the ISO.
[05:38] <Music_Shuffle> nevron, the goal is what, Beryl?
[05:38] <Falstius> is there a metapackage for all the X11 -dev packages?
[05:38] <solidsource> nevron: how are doing it? cause I am trying to use the latest install of automix and keep getting an error
[05:38] <gnufied> Dr_willis, heard of wacom graphics pads? there is a line in default xorg.conf for that
[05:38] <gnufied> this device is exactly the same, except its not from wacom
[05:38] <peeps> nevron: personally I just manually download the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com, and run the script
[05:38] <Music_Shuffle> solidsource, did you read the factoid about automatix...?
[05:39] <fnf> I couldn't find the dev package of openssl in Edgy server, can anyone please confirm this ?. I need it to compile rdesktop.
[05:39] <peeps> have to redo it for every kernel update though
[05:39] <nevron> peeps i am getitng an error when i try to dl the rpackages it goes like this  nvidia-glx: Depends: nvidia-kernel-1.0.9629
[05:39] <nevron> bash: nvidia-glx:: command not found
[05:39] <linux1> anyone use lacie light scribe labeler in here?
[05:39] <robbie_cras1> hi all, I'm having a weird problem where all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, my screen sort of locks up. My computer keeps running, but my display freezes, aside from my mouse pointer which still moves. I'm new to Linux, and have no idea what could cause this, or how to fix it
[05:39] <nevron> it is telling me that i have unmet dependencies
[05:39] <fnf> Anyone ?
[05:40] <Dr_willis> gnufied,  it also may use a different driver  or are you saying it IS a wacom - just relabled?
[05:40] <vox754> fnf: sorry, no experience with that.
[05:40] <gnufied> Dr_willis, nope its not wacom, but rather from iball, but i said, its the similar device. like mice from a different manufacturer
[05:41] <nevron> music shuffle yes the goal is beryl but i have to setup the nvidia drivers first and then need some dual screen setup
[05:41] <fnf> vox754: Thanks anyway, it's weird there's no dev package of openssl though.
[05:41] <nevron> at the end i hope to get beryl going
[05:41] <unop> fnf,  http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/utils/openssl
[05:42] <Dr_willis> gnufied,  id say do some googling..  the thing may not be as fully supported.  You shoudl at least get some 'movement' if you create a new input device with the right /dev/input for it.
[05:42] <barbarella2> fnf: libssl-dev
[05:42] <peeps> robbie_cras1: can you Ctrl-Alt-F1 to terminal when it happens?  Maybe you can then check logs or something
[05:42] <vox754> linux1, lacie light scribe? sorry, no experience with that
[05:42] <fnf> barbarella2: Ah, thanks a lot.
[05:42] <robbie_cras1> nope, screen stays totally locked aside from the mouse pointer
[05:42] <Music_Shuffle> nevron, if the ultimate goal is Beryl, try #ubuntu-effects.
[05:42] <Boohbah> linux1: lacie is a usb or firewire drive, right?
[05:42] <hajiki> hey guys how do i uninstall KDE???
[05:43] <nevron> music shuffle ok
[05:43] <linux1> LaCie is the light scribe software
[05:43] <robbie_cras1> ctrl+alt+backspace won't restart X either
[05:43] <robbie_cras1> ctrl+alt+del won't reboot
[05:43] <linux1> i get the light scribe gui to come up, but cant make any sense of it
[05:43] <Dr_willis> hajiki,  not very easially.  fire up pacakge manager and search/click start unisntalling. :) there used to be a web site that detailed using aptitude to remove the whole kde or gnome-desktop
[05:43] <vox754> fnf: I found it also with "aptitude search openssl"
[05:43] <linux1> no way to input text for scribing
[05:43] <unop> hajiki,  do you want to completely remove all KDE packages?
[05:43] <hajiki> :(
[05:44] <eontasticness_> robbie_cras1: what type of video adapter do you have?
[05:44] <robbie_cras1> nVidia GeForce 7600GS
[05:44] <stinger_au> yo
[05:44] <hajiki> well i dunno, i just installed it and didnt like it
[05:44] <stinger_au> hey i just install squid but it did not come with cachemgr.cgi ?
[05:44] <stinger_au> werid
[05:44] <martin_> hello lucky!
[05:44] <eontasticness_> robbie_cras1: are you using the nvida drivers or the nv built into xorg?
[05:44] <stinger_au> any one able to send me this file
[05:44] <robbie_cras1> nvidia
[05:44] <stinger_au> or know where i can get it
[05:44] <fnf> vox754: I see, sorry for bothering. I was just so certain it should be named libopenssl-dev.
[05:44] <robbie_cras1> most recent stable ones
[05:44] <unop> hajiki, the first section (removing kubuntu) should help you  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[05:44] <peeps> robbie_cras1: you running beryl?
[05:44] <hajiki> and now it says kubuntu at boot time wtf
[05:45] <robbie_cras1> yes
[05:45] <eontasticness_> robbie_cras1: have you tried changed xorg.conf back to using nv and see if it still locks?
[05:45] <vox754> fnf: seems logical. Good luck.
[05:45] <hajiki> unop: thanks
[05:45] <robbie_cras1> econtasticness No I've not tried that.
[05:46] <robbie_cras1> does the ssh server run by default in ubuntu??
[05:46] <peeps> it's probably a beryl bug.  I know that on my comp, beryl will lock up my system when I go to Ctrl-Alt-F1 and try to come back
[05:46] <eontasticness_> robbie_cras1: i had similar problems with using the nvidia driver on my geforce go 7600 based laptop
[05:46] <eontasticness_> robbie_cras1: no you have to install sshd
[05:46] <pavs> I am trying to edit a file as a user under gui not terminal. is it possible to edit the file without logging off and logging  in back as  a root?
[05:46] <robbie_cras1> I've got it installed
[05:46] <eontasticness_> robbie_cras1: ah then yeah it should put it in startup automatically
[05:46] <robbie_cras1> I just don't know if I have to explicitly start it or if it's like samba and runs at startup
[05:46] <robbie_cras1> thanks
[05:46] <robbie_cras1> brb
[05:47] <eontasticness_> ok
[05:47] <Hellevator> how can i change the default icon for all .rb files?
[05:47] <peeps> pavs: you can use gksudo to launch an editor
[05:47] <vox754> !gksudo > pavs
[05:47] <vox754> !sudo > pavs
[05:47] <Hellevator> i can change 1 individual file by changing it in the properties but how can I change the icon for all .rb files
[05:47] <espen> thanx guys all good now, linux this way will make me lazy :P
[05:48] <unop> pavs,  ALT+F2 -- gksudo gedit  .. opens up gedit under the super user context
[05:48] <vox754> espen: what was your problem? I forgot.
[05:48] <espen> restriced codecs
[05:48] <pavs> thanks for the info guys
[05:48] <peeps> yw
[05:48] <duckvenge> anyone know what /dev/rd generally refers to?
[05:48] <vox754> espen: sure, I remember. Success?
[05:49] <espen> ye, and much easier than i am used to
[05:49] <qmf> hi there. i've installed a 6.10 command line only setup and i need to get my wireless network set up.
[05:49] <eontasticness_> duckvenge: raid disk
[05:49] <duckvenge> oh ok, thanks!
[05:49] <eontasticness_> np
[05:49] <vox754> espen: you can write me a check, you know.
[05:50] <espen> ppl use checks still? oO
[05:50] <qmf> the card shows up when i do iwconfig
[05:50] <vox754> pavs: another satisfied customer.
[05:50] <robbie_cras1> if I switch back to the nv driver is that going to kill my beryl?
[05:50] <qmf> but the xfce4-wavelan applet tells me there's no device
[05:50] <pavs> :)
[05:51] <eontasticness_> robbie_cras1: i think itll still work --- i would just do that for testing purposes
[05:51] <robbie_cras1> yeah
[05:51] <eontasticness_> robbie_cras1: if it works, then try to find a slightly older version of the nvidia driver
[05:51] <unop> qmf,  I thought you said "command line only setup"  ? what did you mean by that?
[05:52] <robbie_cras1> I just installed the latest, in hopes that might fix it, but that didn't so I'd have to go back at least two
[05:52] <qmf> i installed the command line only then added xfce4 on top
[05:52] <qmf> i didn't want a bloated install with loads of apps
[05:53] <unop> qmf, ahh right .. you shouldnt have used "only" there and should have mentioned xfce too .. anyway -- does ifconfig -a list your device?
[05:53] <vox754> espen: just for the record, neither Totem, Gxine, nor Mplayer totally worked. But VLC works perfectly.
[05:53] <Simpleton> Hey guys, I just installed Beryl, but it seems to have blanked out my second monitor. The mouse can still go over to it but other than it is black
[05:53] <qmf> unop: yeah it's listed. eth1
[05:54] <Simpleton> I can't figure out how to get it back to function properly on there
[05:54] <espen> using totem now, didnt like the new mplayer look, and it wont play from my network drive like totem
[05:54] <vox754> !beryl
[05:54] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:54] <SlicerDicer-> I am trying to compile a 32bit kernel it keeps going crazy and trying to compile it in 64bit... however this is a chroot enviroment inside a 64bit gentoo install
[05:54] <vox754> Simpleton: I don't know a thing about beryl, sorry.
[05:55] <rpc> what does it mean when i get "time of day goes back" when pinging a host?
[05:55] <Simpleton> Its okay, ill check that channel, thanks
[05:55] <unop> qmf, ok, i dont have wireless here, so i might be a little off with the commands does iwlist eth1 scan  list any networks ?
[05:55] <qmf> unop: yep it lists my access point
[05:56] <juano__> has anyone made a mobile itunes sync with Ubuntu _
[05:56] <vox754> SlicerDicer-, that is too andvanced for my level, sorry.
[05:56] <juano__> the itunes library sync with ubuntu ?
[05:56] <Music_Shuffle> !Beryl
[05:56] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:56] <juano__> i can mount the phone, get stuff in it, etc, but i cant sync the itunes library
[05:56] <espen> seems like the hardest part of the whole install was to retreave the encryption key for my wireless...everything worked right out of the box :)
[05:57] <robbie_cras1> the nv driver will not work for me. It won't let me change my default refresh rate, which means that I've got a little box bouncing around saying input not supported
[05:57] <robbie_cras1> any other troubleshooting ideas?
[05:57] <pavs> how can I open folder browser root
[05:57] <unop> qmf,  ok, to connect i think you do - sudo iwconfig eth0 essid <networkname>
[05:57] <juano__> Robbie_Crash: tried nvidia driver ?
[05:57] <vox754> espen: I congratulate you. Support with money to any project you want. I suggest "ndiswrapper"
[05:57] <fnf> robbie_cras1: Looks like the nv driver works but you cannot change the refresh rate ?
[05:58] <unop> qmf,  actuallu -sudo iwconfig eth1 key <key>
[05:58] <eontasticness_> there should be an option in the xorg conf to change the refresh rate
[05:58] <unop> qmf,  oops
[05:58] <espen> anything that normally resides on sourceforge if my favorittes :)
[05:58] <unop> qmf,  actually -sudo sh -c " iwconfig eth1 key <key>; iwconfig eth0 essid <networkname>"
[05:59] <unop> errm s/eth0/eth1/
[05:59] <fnf> pavs: gksudo nautilus
[05:59] <Hellevator> how can i change the default icon for all .rb files?
[05:59] <pavs> in gnome?
[06:00] <fnf> pavs: In a terminal or Alt+F2
[06:00] <Hellevator> pavs, yes in gnome
[06:00] <robbie_cras1> yeah the nvidia driver works fine, but the issue is that every so often and for no apparent reason my computer stops updating my display, for the most part
[06:00] <fnf> Hallevator: That depends on the theme you chose.
[06:00] <vox754> unop, I do "sudo iwconfig wlan0 key open<PHONE_NUMBER>" and "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <networkname>"
[06:00] <Hellevator> fnf, im using the default human theme in 6.10
[06:00] <qmf> unop: my access point is open. i did sudo iwconfig eth1 essid myaccesspointname
[06:00] <qmf> but it didn't echo anything
[06:00] <qmf> now can i tell if it worked without unplugging my eth0
[06:00] <Hellevator> i don't want to change my entire theme, only the default icon for one file type
[06:01] <robbie_cras1> from earlier: I'm having a weird problem where all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, my screen sort of locks up. My computer keeps running, but my display freezes, aside from my mouse pointer which still moves.
[06:01] <unop> qmf,  ok, check to see if eth1 got an ip address -- ifconfig -a
[06:01] <vivicrow> anyone here knows a lot about hard drives???
[06:01] <pavs> thanks alot guys, you have made my life easier I didny know you could do this, i used to logout and login as root to change application or files
[06:01] <proqesi> !anyone
[06:01] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:01] <eontasticness_> Hellevator: im not in front of a linux machine right now, but in the Gnome Control Center, theres an option for editing file types
[06:01] <vox754> !ask > vivicrow
[06:01] <fnf> Hellevator: The icons are specified in theme by theme basis, if you want to change all icons related to a file type. You need to change the appropriate icon in the theme or install a new theme.
[06:01] <qmf> it doesn't have an ip address..
[06:01] <eontasticness_> then within there theres a thing to change icons in the properties for that filetype
[06:01] <unop> vox754,  hmm, i dunno why you got iwconfig wlan0 key open .. and then a key there .. anyway, i tend to edit /etc/network/interfaces directly
[06:02] <unop> qmf,  errm, try this -- sudo dhclient eth1
[06:02] <eontasticness_> Hellevator: hopefully that helps, i remember seeing it there tho
[06:02] <vox754> unop, it is possible both ways.
[06:02] <Hellevator> eontasticness_, i did the thing to change it from properties but that only changed 1 file, not all them
[06:02] <illusin1> Hi, how do you "reinstall" an existing kernel (wipe the existing instance and replace it with a fresh copy)?
[06:02] <eontasticness_> Hellevator: from the Gnome Control Center?
[06:02] <Hellevator> fnf, is there anyway to edit my human theme file?
[06:02] <eontasticness_> not just right clicking on the file
[06:02] <zero88> my girlfriend right now is blowing some bad gaasss!
[06:03] <illusin1> +b zero88
[06:03] <unop> vox754,  in that case, your command is just a variation of mine .. you just sudo twice, i dont :)
[06:03] <eontasticness_> zero88:  dump that stanky ho
[06:03] <qmf> unop: awesome. it's got an ip
[06:03] <qmf> lemme test it
[06:03] <zero88> haha im immune to it now
[06:03] <fnf> Hellevator: Yes, but the default theme is located outside your home, so you should make a copy from /usr/share/themes/ of theme into your .themes folder.
[06:03] <zero88> she said that wasnt very nice
[06:04] <unop> qmf,  if you wired interface is also connected upto the same access point -- disable eth0 and try it out
[06:04] <vox754> unop; yeah sure, its the same thing with the ampersand & between them
[06:04] <Hellevator> eontasticness_, i have the gnome control center open but this is just the same stuff thats in system->perferences
[06:04] <qmf_> unop: great! thanks :D will it stay set up like this?
[06:05] <unop> vox754,  errm not really -- command1 & commnd2  is not the same as   command1 && command2
[06:05] <zero88> i need some help with edgy.... it comes with ipw3945 now supposed to work out of the box,wich i set everything up perfectly, but it seems not to send any packets? what is wrong
[06:05] <vox754> unop: you get my point... now tell him about "interfaces"
[06:06] <fnf> Hellevator: Copy your theme folder from /usr/share/themes to ~/.themes then make the modification there.
[06:06] <unop> qmf_,  errm, with wireless. nothing is predictable -- but to make it persist you need to ensure that /etc/network/interfaces contains a configuration for eth1
[06:06] <dabaR> zero88: do you have an IP address assigned from your AP?
[06:06] <Hellevator> fnf, trying that now
[06:06] <zero88> dabar i think it does it automatically
[06:07] <dabaR> zero88: well, check whether there is a proper IP address.
[06:07] <bulmer> zero88 verify with iwconfig wlan0
[06:07] <zero88> dabar ok how do i do that, ifdown eth1 then ifup eth1
[06:07] <eontasticness_> Hellevator: hmm i remember it being under the open with section but that was a while ago --- mightve been dropped from the gui for some stupid reason
[06:07] <SlicerDicer-> vox754, no worries :)
[06:07] <unop> qmf_,  this has it all - http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking
[06:07] <fnf> Hellevator: Sorry. You want to change the icon, so copy the current icon folder in /usr/share/icons to your ~/.icons
[06:07] <SlicerDicer-> vox754, I am doing crazy stuff over here hehe
[06:08] <dabaR> zero88: nope. ifconfig will tell you the information about your interfaces.
[06:08] <pavs> when you try to open a php file in local apache webserver, does it mean php os npt installed/configured in the apache server?
[06:08] <zero88> dabar iwconfig wlan shows nothing but iwconfig shows my interfaces for eth1
[06:08] <vox754> unop: but check the ethernet cable is unplugged and the wireless device "eth0" deactivated.
[06:08] <zero88> dabar wich is my wireless
[06:08] <vivicrow> whenever i plugged in one of my hard drives, my ubuntu refuse to boot!!! I have no idea where to track the problem...
[06:08] <espen> zero88 i have the same card, and i needed to activate and set it up in "main menu - system - admin - networking"
[06:08] <Dante123> hi all....what open source software would allow a user to capture streaming video from you tube......I am a teacher and there are a couple of videos that I'd like to show my class from you tube....but the school boards software (Net Sweeper) won't let anyone access you tube......I'm trying to save the video to a file.....any ideas how to go about doing this?
[06:08] <pavs> it tries to download the php file
[06:08] <Hellevator> ok thanks for the help eontasticness_ and fnf, I will work on this more later
[06:08] <dabaR> !lamp > pavs
[06:08] <eontasticness_> pavs: yes, you need php compiled into apache
[06:08] <zero88> espen i did that
[06:09] <espen> k, :)
[06:09] <vox754> SlicerDicer-, want to elaborate?
[06:09] <zero88> espen i get my signal strenth and everything
[06:09] <fnf> Dante123: There're plenty of ways, one of 'em is youtube-dl.
[06:09] <unop> vox754, eth0 is not wireless .. and im not the one configuring wireless -- (and i dont like your tone of voice either)
[06:09] <espen> you have encryped network?
[06:09] <vivicrow> whenever i plugged in one of my hard drives, my ubuntu refuse to boot!!! I have no idea where to track the problem...anyone can give me some directions????
[06:09] <Dante123> you tube dl?
[06:09] <pavs> can I download Lamp with apt-get command?
[06:09] <vox754> espen: I'm so proud. You giving back to the community.
[06:09] <espen> lol
[06:09] <fnf> Dante123: That's a python script, you may find it in Google.
[06:10] <qmf_> unop: found an example config. looks good, cheers man
[06:10] <pavs> I am trying to install pmwiki in my local computer
[06:10] <unop> qmf_,  yw :)
[06:10] <dabaR> pavs: read private message from ubotu, and follow instructions in the page he refers.
[06:10] <vox754> unop: sorry, I'm writing as fast as I can. I know you were helping the other guy, I was just reading the conversation. Sorry, I'm shutting down.
[06:10] <peeps> vivicrow: you added an additional hard drive to an existing ubuntu setup?
[06:10] <pavs> thanks again guys
[06:11] <espen> zero88 do you have an open or encryped network?
[06:11] <SlicerDicer-> vox754, well I am creating netboot enviroments inside my Gentoo AMD64 install that has nearly 1tb storage so its quite large. I will be running many OS's on there and the / is done by NFS. So I can have 90% of my comptuers without harddrives :) the problem is the kernel that comes with ubuntu does too much NFS stuff as modules so I have to build a custom kernel to do it
[06:11] <eontasticness_> i am going to sleep now
[06:11] <peeps> vivicrow: it might be that your hard drives get reordered when the new drive is added.  so hda becomes hdb for example
[06:11] <eontasticness_> wish my fileserver luck on the rebuilding of raid
[06:11] <qmf_> unop: i also think that's the first time i've actually had a problem resolved directly from this channel. woo for that.
[06:11] <eontasticness_> goodnight all
[06:11] <vivicrow> peeps: no, it is an old one, when i have it on, i can't install the ubuntu, so i haven't used that drive since then
[06:11] <SlicerDicer-> vox754, but I found the problem anyway it was I needed to run 'linux32 chroot /path/to/ /bin/bash' :)
[06:11] <gortba_> Hi. I have two hard drives with two different ubuntu operating systems installed. I want to remove one of the ubuntu's and install fedora. I can handle the install, but does anyone know how to look at my hard drives and then format the hard drive that has the ubuntu that I don't want?
[06:11] <vox754> pavs: this is the third time you thank. Are you not giving any money?
[06:11] <zero88> did this freeze?
[06:12] <SlicerDicer-> vox754, that still does not help that make menuconfig is absolutely horked though :)
[06:12] <peeps> gortba_ you should be able to do this with gparted I think
[06:12] <proqesi> gortba_: you can mount the fedora partition from ubuntu and look at the files on that partition
[06:12] <pavs> :) one day I will give it back to the ubuntu community by helping others. Give me some time I am still learning :)
[06:13] <vivicrow> gortba just do the formating while you install the fedora
[06:13] <robbie_cras1> hi all, I'm having a weird problem where all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, my screen sort of locks up. My computer keeps running, but my display freezes, aside from my mouse pointer which still moves. keyboard and mouse input (aside from cursor moving) seemingly does nothing. samba still provides access to all shared drives, mp3s keep playing but nothing can be done. Using a geforce 7600gs with the latest stable nvidia d
[06:13] <proqesi> gortba_: or if you know the sizes of the partitions, you can tell from fdisk
[06:13] <fnf> gortba_: Use cfdisk, that's more standard conformant.
[06:13] <HP_Vue> What program can you use to record screen ?
[06:13] <gortba_> ok..I'm a newbie. Can you give me the commands proqesi or fnf? Thanks by the way
[06:13] <vox754> SlicerDicer-: seems interesting. Yep, I've read you can force to use an 32-bit environment with "linux32", but I've never needed it.
[06:14] <proqesi> gortba_: fdisk /dev/hda
[06:14] <peeps> vivicrow: I am having trouble understanding your problem.  you mean the ubuntu livecd will not boot?
[06:14] <proqesi> gortba_: or if the drive is scsi it's /dev/sda
[06:14] <SlicerDicer-> vox754, yep I just forgot :)
[06:14] <fnf> robbie_cras1: Sounds like a typical bug that the nvidia driver has. If you were experiencing X locks up, look at the nvnews forum for hints.
[06:14] <SlicerDicer-> vox754, I dont usually run 32bit things in 64bit that require that :)
[06:14] <CppIsWeird> i have a folder that is used for apache, and i see that there is a user group called www-data. So i assumed adding the users i want to access it to that group would allow those users to modify the contents inside, however, it has not. how do i accomplish this?
[06:14] <g_m_kelly_> Why is it that sometimes my hard drives are in a different order? I have three drives, two on one controller, one on another. Sometimes, the single drive will be /dev/sda and sometimes /dev/sdc, but the two on the same controller are always contiguous
[06:14] <HP_Vue> What prgram????
[06:14] <proqesi> gortba_: or check /media, it may have already mounted your fedora partition
[06:14] <StriderZ> what package do I need to install for "make"?
[06:14] <fnf> gortba_: You may partition the drive with cfdisk. Sample usage: cfdisk /dev/hda
[06:14] <BigMac> I am trying to set up the wifi on my computer, and I entered my ssid, but I have wep certification on this network because it is a windows network so which  type do I choose?(plain text or hexidecimal)

[06:14] <dabaR> HP_Vue: sec.
[06:15] <proqesi> StriderZ: build-essential
[06:15] <StriderZ> ah
[06:15] <vivicrow> peeps: one of my hard drive got damaged before...I stopped moving a large file from one drive to another...
[06:15] <gortba_> ok...trying it now
[06:15] <vox754> SlicerDicer-: well, you are on Gentoo; I've read, you compile everything, so there must be 64-bit of everything.
[06:15] <vivicrow> peeps: and ubuntu report error msg about that hard drive while booting
[06:15] <StriderZ> proqesi: thanks
[06:15] <Dante123> okay....will look for it.....
[06:15] <Dante123> fnf
[06:15] <fnf> gortba_: Becareful with any drive partitioner though.
[06:15] <BigMac>  I am trying to set up the wifi on my computer, and I entered my ssid, but I have wep certification on this network because it is a windows network so which  type do I choose?(plain text or hexidecimal)

[06:16] <qmf_> how do i change it to xdm?
[06:16] <espen> bigmac, do you have the key as text or hex?
[06:16] <HP_Vue> thanks dabaR
[06:17] <SlicerDicer-> vox754, yep on that box 99% of it is 64bit given what that box does its not needed to have 32bit the only 32bit thing on there is mplayer-32bit so I can use the win32codecs :)
[06:17] <dabaR> HP_Vue: http://www.google.com/search?q=capture%20screen%20ubuntu for other options...
[06:17] <fnf> Dante123: You may put it into your ~/bin, that needs no root permission.
[06:17] <HP_Vue> Thanks
[06:17] <robbie_cras1> what's the command to restart x?
[06:17] <espen> bigmac, a dext code is normally like 5 digits
[06:17] <fnf> Dante123: If the software is blocking all routes to youtube, the only way I know of is to access through a proxy though.
[06:17] <HP_Vue> But, if it is in the repos, then what is the teminal command?
[06:18] <dabaR> robbie_cras1: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart is what I use.
[06:18] <fnf> Dante123: youtube-dl is just a tool to download videos from youtube.
[06:18] <Dante123> fnf:  it says I can't put it in /bin either
[06:18] <stinger_au> how come i have install perl and i dont have a cgi-bin dir ?
[06:18] <BigMac> espen: my key is wep and the key is<PHONE_NUMBER>, so which would I put?
[06:18] <dabaR> HP_Vue: to install istanbul from command line?
[06:18] <HP_Vue> yea
[06:18] <espen> bigmac, that is most likely a hex
[06:18] <dabaR> !aptitude
[06:19] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[06:19] <fnf> Dante123: Put it into your bin, which is /home/<your-name>/bin. bash will usually recognize the new executable. And make youtube-dl executable if necessary
[06:19] <mackinac> is there a setting in VLC for opening all in a single instance?
[06:19] <vivicrow> stinger_au: perl has no direct connection with cgi-bin dir
[06:19] <dabaR> HP_Vue: read that to learn to use it. "sudo aptitude install istanbul" is the command
[06:19] <Dante123> okay..sorry thought you meant bin off root
[06:19] <HP_Vue> thanjks'
[06:19] <joe_> I don't know if anyone can help me with this, (I have tried searching the unbuntu forum too), but when I boot, GRUB loads fine and I select ubuntu... but after selecting that, the ubuntu splashscreen does not load
[06:19] <stinger_au> vivicrow, i install webmin
[06:19] <robbie_cras1> thanks dabaR
[06:19] <stinger_au> vivicrow, and i can't run cachemgr.cgi
[06:19] <fnf> Dante123: But anywhere would suffice though.
[06:19] <vox754> SlicerDicer-: alright! short question, why is w32codecs 32-bit only?
[06:20] <stinger_au> vivicrow, this is what i get
[06:20] <stinger_au> vivicrow, Undefined subroutine &main::init_config called at ./squid-lib.pl line 5.
[06:20] <stinger_au> Compilation failed in require at ./cachemgr.cgi line 5.
[06:20] <Dante123> there is no bin in my home folder...do I make one?
[06:20] <fnf> Dante123: Sure.
[06:20] <nhan> hiiiiiiii
[06:20] <barbarella2> mackinac:yes, you can create a playlist
[06:20] <robbie_cras1> well, I guesss I'll just wait and see if restarting x remotely will work with this or not
[06:20] <robbie_cras1> thanks all
[06:21] <fnf> Dante123: Putting it into ~/bin allows you to invoke it anywhere.
[06:21] <dabaR> Dante123: mkdir ~/bin?
[06:22] <CppIsWeird> i have a folder that is used for apache, and i see that there is a user group called www-data. So i assumed adding the users i want to access it to that group would allow those users to modify the contents inside, however, it has not. how do i accomplish this?
[06:22] <Dante123> I just made it through the gui....is that okay...I'm a newb.....
[06:22] <mackinac> barbarella2, i mean for when i execute files that are associated with vlc. thanks anyhow
[06:22] <unop> CppIsWeird,  but does the www-data group own that directory?
[06:22] <Dante123> btw, I named it simply bin....does the squiggly just mean home folder?
[06:23] <fnf> Dante123: ~ means home folder.
[06:23] <CppIsWeird> no idea, how do i figure this out?
[06:23] <unop> CppIsWeird,  ls -ld /path/to/dir
[06:23] <fnf> Dante123: Can you access Youtube, or you can access youtube but cannot download the video ?
[06:24] <SilentDis> hello :)
[06:24] <fnf> !Hi
[06:24] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:24] <yuuki> Hi, is there a simple way to enable the /dev/fb0 device, the framebuffer?
[06:24] <CppIsWeird> it says "drwxr-xr-x 5 root root
[06:24] <CppIsWeird> "
[06:24] <Dante123> at school i cannot access you tube...but at home i can.....so if i download the file at home...then i can show it at school.....but cannot access you tube at school...
[06:24] <SilentDis> !pastebin
[06:24] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:24] <dabaR> vox754: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75278.html
[06:24] <fnf> yuuki: If you specify vga=xxx as boot parameter or video=<framebuffer-driver>.
[06:25] <yuuki> I can't do it after boot time, fnf?
[06:25] <unop> CppIsWeird,  right, root owns that directory and therefore www-data has trouble -- sudo chown www-data.www-data /path/to/folder   (add -R if you want all files and subdirectories to be affected too)
[06:25] <dabaR> CppIsWeird: that means root owns the directory.
[06:25] <fnf> Dante123: Oh, so the software is blocking routes to youtube, in which case the only alternative is to use a proxy. That's inconvenient and (usually) slow though.
[06:25] <vox754> dabaR: thank you. I don't know why, but thank you.
[06:25] <yuuki> fnf, for example, what framebuffer is X using?
[06:25] <dabaR> unop: do you understand what that implies?
[06:25] <dabaR> vox754: read it.
[06:26] <unop> dabaR,  yes, i didnt start using unix yesterday :)
[06:27] <L4J> hey
[06:27] <L4J> I am trying to install a file.. its .rpm
[06:27] <L4J> im confused lolk
[06:28] <unop> L4J,  you should try installing the same package from source -- only use a .rpm as a last resort
[06:28] <L4J> Well, the file I am trying to install is Limewire..
[06:28] <proqesi> L4J: if there's no alternative, use alien
[06:28] <L4J> & its the only one I can find for Linux
[06:29] <unop> !frostwire | L4J
[06:29] <unop> ohh my
[06:29] <L4J> goodness
[06:29] <L4J> lol
[06:29] <kaso> im so lonley
[06:29] <unop> thats the biggest cleanup operation i have seen in ages
[06:29] <L4J> what was... frostwire?
[06:29] <Flannel> L4J: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[06:29] <unop> !frostwire | L4J
[06:30] <Flannel> L4J: it's a derivative (fully free) version of Limewire
[06:30] <unop> hmm, obotu sleeping tonight?
[06:30] <Flannel> unop: that was/is a netsplit, not a 'cleanup'
[06:30] <Flannel> ubotu is on the other half of the netsplit ;)
[06:30] <L4J> Does the layout resemble Limewire?
[06:30] <unop> Flannel, yea, i got the terminology wrong :)
[06:30] <Flannel> L4J: I imagine it's almost identical
[06:31] <proqesi> !hello

[06:31] <fnf> Dante123: Most likely you'll need to open a new terminal, or try "echo $PATH" to see if your ~/bin is in it yet.
[06:31] <SilentDis> bluecat9, what feature, it might already be in the repos somewhere
[06:31] <PriceChild> !netsplit
[06:31] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[06:31] <dabaR> bluecat9: launchpad.net
[06:31] <bluecat9> ty
[06:31] <SilentDis> I'm having a problem building my drivers for a Ximeta Netdisk.  Would someone be so kind as to look this over and tell me where I'm going wrong?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5174/
[06:31] <fnf> Dante123: Most likely you'll need to open a new terminal, or try "echo $PATH" to see if your ~/bin is in it yet.
[06:31] <L4J> How do I install this?
[06:32] <Flannel> L4J: read that page, it gives instructions
[06:32] <Dante123> fnf...it says...bash: ./youtube-dl.txt: No such file or directory
[06:32] <meshyf> !ndis-wrapper
[06:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ndis-wrapper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:32] <therapy> PriceChild:  interesting :)
[06:32] <zyth> !ndiswrapper
[06:32] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:32] <meshyf> thanks Zyth
[06:32] <dabaR> Dante123: how about ls ~/bin, does that show the file?
[06:32] <fnf> Dante123: You will call the command as youtube-dl only, all commands in the bin folders can be invoked anywhere.
[06:32] <Dante123> fnf...it says..../usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[06:32] <zyth> meshyf, np
[06:32] <vox754> dabaR: thank you Alberto. Now tell me. What else has this problem? Something that you need to force under 64-bit. So far I think win32codecs, and flash.
[06:33] <L4J> what is the website?
[06:33] <unop> Flannel,  hmm, looks like it's not just this channel's affected by the "netsplit" .. quite a few others too -- could it be that the freenode staff regularly do this for some reason?
[06:33] <L4J> frostwire
[06:33] <fnf> Dante123: /home/Dante123/bin should be there though.
[06:33] <Flannel> L4J: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[06:33] <Dante123> yes, that does show the file...the ls command
[06:33] <dabaR> vox754: I do not have an exhaustive list, try google.
[06:33] <Flannel> unop: netsplits are serverwide.
[06:33] <vox754> meshyf, go #ndiswrapper
[06:33] <espen> well 6.30 am, guess it is time to go look for the teddy and the dummy, later folks.
[06:33] <dabaR> Dante123: sudo mv ~/bin/fileName /usr/local/bin
[06:33] <SilentDis> unop, netsplits happen.  they try to make them not happen, but they do anyway ;)
[06:33] <tanlaan> Hey, I installed frostwire through the debian package installer, but it says it cant find my JRE. How can I download the latest JRE from command line?
[06:34] <vox754> dabaR: ok.
[06:34] <fnf> Dante123: But that will not work anyway since you cannot access youtube. You need to use a proxy.
[06:34] <HP_Vue> Does istanbul work w/ KDE?
[06:34] <Flannel> !java | tanlaan
[06:34] <ubotu> tanlaan: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:34] <Dante123> i can access you tube right now....though......so won't it save the file locally..if I use it.....
[06:34] <unop> Dante123,  you could add this line to the end of your ~/.bashrc -- export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
[06:35] <dabaR> tanlaan: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre
[06:35] <fnf> Dante123: Alright, so "youtube-dl <URL>" should work.
[06:35] <CppIsWeird> unop: what does www-data.www-data mean?
[06:35] <unop> CppIsWeird,  its the user and group
[06:35] <Tyler> !kernel | Tyler
[06:35] <Flannel> CppIsWeird: its probably www-data:www-data, and it's user:group
[06:35] <SilentDis> I'm having a problem building my drivers for a Ximeta Netdisk.  Would someone be so kind as to look this over and tell me where I'm going wrong?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5174/
[06:35] <fnf> Dante123: Or change to the directory in which youtube-dl lies and invoke "./youtube-dl" there
[06:36] <dabaR> CppIsWeird: it is www-data:www-data, if used with the chown command, it specifies to change the user and group to www-data.
[06:36] <unop> Flannel,  either or .. user.group or user:group
[06:36] <vox754> I'm gone; see you next weekend.
[06:36] <dabaR> unop: cool
[06:36] <newest> hey whens the repositorys going to be up again?
[06:36] <Flannel> newest: which repository is down?
[06:36] <newest> i dl aegis anti virus for linux, but now i cant find it, how do i install it?
[06:37] <Dante123> okay...i did what dabaR said and it is there now in usr/local/bin
[06:37] <SilentDis> newest, I'm having no problem hitting the main, multiverse, universe, and some custom ones.  what repo are you having issue with?
[06:37] <CppIsWeird> does a group have to have a user in it? like, why is there user www-data and group www-data??
[06:37] <dabaR> Dante123: try you<tab><tab>
[06:37] <Dante123> will try again
[06:37] <newest> ill check brb
[06:37] <zyth> SilentDis, what kernel ver do you have
[06:37] <bulmer> CppIsWeird: no need to have a group with user members
[06:37] <newest> when i use sudo aptitude command in terminal, it says its down
[06:37] <unop> CppIsWeird,  a user must exist in a group -- if that answers i
[06:38] <newest> ill pm you what it says exactly
[06:38] <unop> it
[06:38] <SilentDis> zyth, 2.6.17-11-generic
[06:38] <zyth> SilentDis, and did you specify kernel headers or linux-headers in that apt-get line?
[06:38] <CppIsWeird> ok then, how to i grant a group read/write/modify permissions on a directory?
[06:38] <fnf> CpplsWeird: chmod.
[06:38] <unop> CppIsWeird,  rather than clump all normal users in a common group like on windows .. its easier to seperate permissions and group membership if each user belongs to his unique group
[06:38] <SilentDis> zyth, kernel I believe.  ran the line with both, I am sure they're installed right though, as the envy script (builds nvidia drivers) runs w/o trouble
[06:39] <Dante123> okay...i have to have the txt at the end of the command...and right now it says it is retrieving the webpage
[06:39] <SilentDis> zyth, also, i had built these before the latest kernel update, again, without issue
[06:39] <zyth> SilentDis, apparently output tries to go to /usr/src, have you tried running the rpmbuild command w/ sudo?
[06:39] <fnf> Dante123: You may rename it to get rid of the .txt extension.
[06:39] <SilentDis> zyth, yes, gives error.  One moment, it's short, i'll paste it here
[06:40] <unop> CppIsWeird,  by default the user and group owners of a file are granted permissions -- if you want a non-owner/non-other user/group to have permissions .. you need something like acl
[06:40] <SilentDis> zyth, error: Failed to rename /usr/src/rpm/SPECS/rpm-spec.VfvCb3 to /usr/src/rpm/SPECS/rpm-spec.VfvCb3: Permission denied: No such file or directory
[06:40] <CppIsWeird> i dont know what any of this is
[06:40] <unop> CppIsWeird,  which user or group do you want to give permissions to?
[06:40] <CppIsWeird> is there a document thats not 100 pages that will explain the groups and user and permissions shit to me?
[06:40] <zyth> SilentDis, mkdir /usr/src/rpm ; mkdir /usr/src/rpm/SPECS
[06:40] <fnf> unop: I don't get it, isn't chmod enough ?
[06:41] <unop> fnf,  one sec .
[06:41] <SilentDis> zyth, I assume I'll need root for those, right?
[06:41] <zyth> SilentDis, then touch /usr/src/rpm/SPECS/rpm-spec.VfvCb3
[06:41] <zyth> yes
[06:41] <newest> weird i dl knocker with sudo aptitude install knocker, but where do i find knocker on my pc, and how do i run it????
[06:41] <zyth> im gonna try and build this
[06:41] <zyth> sec.
[06:41] <zyth> you on edgy w/ all current updates?
[06:41] <xavier___> hi .. i was wondering whether we can reduce the boot time for ubuntu to less than 30 seconds. any link or tips will do
[06:42] <SilentDis> zyth, yes, edgy with all current updates.
[06:42] <lineman60> i am haveing a wread porblem with my wireless card. it will randomly loose connections but the winblows box right next to it stays connected, (this laptop worked fine when it was running winblows) I am running NDIS wrapper, and the 64ed verson of ubuntu, any one have any ideas?
[06:42] <fnf> xavier___: Most of the initial boot time depends on the kernel. In my installation of Edgy server, booting into console mode takes less than 30 secs.
[06:42] <mackinac> xavier___, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Speed_up_boot
[06:43] <unop> CppIsWeird,  well, let's say you have a directory /dir .. there are 3 user/group permissions to /dir  -- the owner-user, the owner-group and the rest of the world (other) .. when assigning permissions to a file only these three users or groups are affected , does that make better sense now?
[06:43] <SilentDis> zyth, same errors as above.
[06:43] <zyth> SilentDis, and you ran  sudo apt-get install libc6-dev kernel-headers-2.6.17-11-generic alien rpm dpkg ?
[06:43] <SilentDis> zyth, yes, all those packages are installed properly
[06:43] <zyth> SilentDis, er sorry, linux-headers
[06:43] <varsendaggr> hey what is the package that i need to compile stuff   builod-essential?
[06:43] <SilentDis> zyth, I know what you meant ;)
[06:43] <vivicrow> what programs check hard drives at the startup???
[06:43] <L4J> uhh.. Frostwire isn't opening...
[06:44] <zyth> SilentDis, k, gimme a sec to try this here
[06:44] <fnf> vivicrow: fsck.
[06:44] <xavier___> ty u2
[06:44] <SilentDis> vivicrow, fsck
[06:44] <Dante123> fnf....looks like it is working....thanks a bunch......I am new to ubuntu.....but have done some stuff with linux before.....the distro i also use is puppy linux....and it that you are always root....makes things easy.....i know why they do it this way.....so users wont screw things up....but i prefer having full control
[06:44] <unop> fnf,  if you want to get a non-owning user or group to have permissions on a file by not opening up the file to the rest of the world -- the only way is to implement acls
[06:44] <SilentDis> zyth, nt, thanks for the help!
[06:44] <L4J> It is in the "Internet" sub-menu.. but it wont open when i click on it
[06:44] <vivicrow> so if there is something wrong with the hard drives, the ubuntu won't boot, right?
[06:44] <zyth> L4J, run it from a terminal and see if there are any erros.
[06:44] <Flannel> Dante123: there's absolutely no reason to run as root.  You DO have full control over whatever you want, by simply using sudo.
[06:44] <zyth> *erros
[06:45] <zyth> argh, ERRORS
[06:45] <L4J> how do I run it from the terminal?
[06:45] <SilentDis> Dante123, if you feel the absolute need to hit a root prompt, you can type sudo -i.  keep in mind, it's NOT recommended, you can sudo each command seperately just as easily
[06:45] <mackinac> xavier___, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Reduce_boot ... http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Get_rid_of_useless_modules_loaded_at_boot
[06:45] <fnf> unop: I read it, kind of ACL in NTFS.
[06:45] <unop> fnf,  pretty much the same yea
[06:45] <vivicrow> so what if i temporarily remove the fsck check at the startup....
[06:45] <SilentDis> vivicrow, not recommended.  why would you want to do that anyway?
[06:45] <xavier___> mackinac: that's is wht i wanted to ask .. those darn modules and daemons
[06:45] <CppIsWeird> unop: ok, so what i want to do, is create a user called like wwwaccess, a group called wwwaccess, and make wwwaccess the owner, then chmod the directory 770, and add the users i wish to have access to the directory to the wwwaccess group?
[06:46] <fnf> vivicrow: If you don't want it to check, modify the /etc/fsab.
[06:46] <Dante123> my problem is i prefer gui to command line.....and like control from gui....rather than having to do command line stuff......anyway...the video came through...but no audio?  any suggestions?
[06:46] <rio> where do you go to find out details about your pc? ie processor speed, memory installed, etc
[06:46] <vivicrow> SilenDis: i wanna check one of my 'broken' hard drive
[06:46] <vivicrow> SilentDis: i wanna check one of my 'broken' hard drive
[06:46] <SilentDis> vivicrow, then you don't want to disable it ;)  is that drive mounted now?
[06:46] <vivicrow> SilentDis: i can't boot in ubuntu with that hd plugged in
[06:47] <newest> how do i install aegis virus scanner after dl it from synaptic package manager???
[06:47] <fnf> Dante123: Make sure the amplifier is turned on, the volume is unmuted and a nice player ;). mplayer is good.
[06:47] <unop> CppIsWeird,  if you dont chmod that directory and give the wwwaccess user-group then the members of that wwwaccess group will not have permissions -- thats why i gave you the chmod command in this form -- sudo chmod wwwaccess.wwwaccess /path/to/folder
[06:47] <vivicrow> SilentDis: so, no, i only can use ubuntu without that hard drive plugged in
[06:47] <SilentDis> vivicrow, if you just attached it, it shouldn't automount.  where are you connecting it (what bus, sata ide etc, and what location)
[06:48] <CppIsWeird> unop" huh?
[06:48] <unop> CppIsWeird,  usually chmod user file  only sets the user ownership -- not the group ownership -- thats why we use  chmod user.group here
[06:48] <vivicrow> SilentDis: it's a sata...
[06:48] <CppIsWeird> hmm
[06:48] <zyth> SilentDis, have you tried http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/wiki/UbuntuNightlyBuild by chance?
[06:48] <xavier___> does ubuntu 6.10 do parallel boot?
[06:48] <CppIsWeird> so i do chmod twice
[06:48] <yuuki> How can I find out which framebuffer X is writing to?
[06:48] <SilentDis> vivicrow, if linux refuses to boot PERIOD with the drive attached, the drive itself might be so damaged it's unusuable
[06:48] <Dante123> volume is up.....not muted....and it opens with totem movie player......mplayer won't open it....
[06:48] <CppIsWeird> but if its user/group/everyone else, how can you chmod a group?
[06:48] <SilentDis> zyth, not yet, I tend to stay away from nightlys.  did you have success with that?
[06:49] <unop> CppIsWeird,  nooo.. just once but ensuring that group ownership is changed
[06:49] <vivicrow> SilentDis: but it had no problem with gentoo...although one partition can't be mounted, but other parts of the drive are still work fine
[06:49] <newest> how do i install aegis virus scanner after dl it from synaptic package manager???
[06:49] <CppIsWeird> so i just wanna do chmod wwwaccess.wwwaccess 770 /var/www right?
[06:49] <fnf> Dante123: totem, even with gstreamer current cannot play flv files, AFAIK. You want a more current mplayer, or SVN is best to play flv videos. Even then it's not perfect.
[06:50] <SilentDis> vivicrow, have you tried dropping that drive in, then booting the Ubuntu LiveCD?
[06:50] <vivicrow> SilentDis: the ubuntu install cd is a live cd right?
[06:50] <yuuki> I did a modprobe vesafb, is there something else I need to do before I have access to the linux framebuffer?
[06:50] <SilentDis> vivicrow, the desktop one is, yes.
[06:50] <i386> if I were to file a bug with a patch for a driver in the kernel on ubuntu, what package would I file it against?
[06:50] <Flannel> vivicrow: the Desktop CD, yes.
[06:50] <unop> CppIsWeird,  errm, ouch .. sorry sorry my bad .. i'm just tired -- for chmod you need 770 yes .. for chown www-data.www-data
[06:50] <Dante123> fnf.....picture is there...no audio in movie player......in mplayer i get an error that says error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
[06:50] <vivicrow> SilentDis: yup, i tried...that was where the problem began
[06:51] <unop> CppIsWeird,  so,  sudo chmod 770 /path/to/file
[06:51] <CppIsWeird> then add the users i want to have access to the files to the group wwwaccess?
[06:51] <vivicrow> SilentDis: i couldn't install ubuntu with that hard driver attached
[06:51] <Dante123> svn what is that?
[06:51] <proqesi> what's a hard driver?
[06:51] <zyth> SilentDis, http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/wiki/Ubuntu <-- debs for 5.10/6.06/6.10
[06:51] <fnf> Dante123: You may select another video output mode in Preferences of gmplayer.
[06:51] <SilentDis> zyth, lol 404 when I hit http://code.ximeta.com/dev/current/ubuntu6.10/
[06:51] <vivicrow> SilentDis: really want to know if the hard drive is really physically damaged
[06:51] <proqesi> svn is subversion
[06:51] <unop> CppIsWeird,  yes, provided you have chowned the directory properly yes, thats what you do
[06:52] <zyth> SilentDis, check the last url I posted
[06:52] <fnf> Dante123: The stock mplayer of Ubuntu Edgy should play flv though, your installation might not be in a good state.
[06:52] <i386> Dante123: are you on PPC?
[06:52] <SilentDis> zyth, I'm there now, no good, no 6.10 builds
[06:52] <zyth> SilentDis, the top of the page says its for all vers
[06:53] <Dante123> no.....ibm with intel centrino
[06:53] <zyth> SilentDis, http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/wiki/Ubuntu6.10
[06:53] <Dante123> fresh install......ran automatix 2......all else works.....
[06:53] <SilentDis> zyth, that's where I am now.  No 2.6.17-11, hence why I was trying to build it :P
[06:53] <niles> hi
[06:54] <niles> what is the command to have my video card drivers use vesa ?
[06:54] <Dante123> i am getting the picture...it si the sound that is not there......
[06:54] <zyth> SilentDis, ahh.  hm.  Yeah I get the same errors as you, looks like rpmbuild is having issues
[06:54] <fnf> Dante123: That may be the reason, automatix does some non-safe things.
[06:54] <Dante123> what is svn?
[06:54] <niles> i pulled my hard drive out of a PC using ati drivers,  and now i need to switch to vesa.
[06:54] <cables> When I switch users, my touchpad won't work in the second account, but works again going to the first account. I don't have this problem with my USB mouse. Against which package should I file this bug?
[06:54] <alvincev> Does anyone know where I would go to allow anyone to be able to eject a CD-ROM, not just the root.
[06:54] <SilentDis> zyth, there's a comment on that last page stating the need for the 1.0.4 version for edgy.  I'm trying to find a DIY version of that kernel now :P
[06:55] <Madpilot> niles, AFAIK, linux isn't going to care which drivers a HDD needs. It should just work.
[06:55] <fnf> Dante123: Subversion, usually means that the latest version from source.
[06:55] <zyth> anyways bedtime
[06:55] <niles> Madpilot:  well it doesent.  im runing off knoppix now.  yet when i boot off my hard drive with ubuntu on it,   I get an error loading X
[06:55] <zyth> night, good luck SilentDis, sorry I couldnt help more
[06:56] <SilentDis> zyth, no troubles.  at least it's not just me, and you made me notice that little edit in there.  I'm on the right track now at least, thanks :)
[06:56] <Madpilot> niles, error loading X probably doesn't have anything to do w/ HDD drivers - X is the graphics engine, more or less
[06:56] <vivicrow> just notice that ubuntu skip file system check if you run on battery power...any switch you can use to skip fs check on a regular desktop??
[06:56] <fnf> Dante123: The stock mplayer is pretty old now, newest mplayer supports many more video formats.
[06:57] <cables> Whenever I create a new user, its panels are screwed up: it only has one, blank panel at the top. It didn't used to do this when I first installed Ubuntu. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
[06:57] <fnf> vivicrow: Do you want to temporarily skip the check or not check the partitions at all ?
[06:57] <Flannel> vivicrow: `sudo touch /fastboot`
[06:57] <diazepa1> does anyone know what this could mean?  Google shows zero results.  I restarted dbus and got the following message "/etc/dbus-1/event.d/70system-tools-backends exited with return code 1"
[06:57] <vivicrow> fnf: temporarily
[06:57] <spinexorz> i wondered if someone could give a hand with a strange issue im having, my fglrx drivers keep getting uninstalled
[06:57] <spinexorz> sometimes theyre just gone...
[06:57] <niles> Madpilot: i get no picture when i put an ubuntu disc to reinstall into the new PC i migrated my video card to.
[06:57] <vivicrow> flannel: thanks ;)
[06:57] <fnf> vivicrow: Ctrl-C when fsck-ing, not recommended though.
[06:57] <spinexorz> and i end up with mesa
[06:58] <CppIsWeird> unop: now i dont have any permission to even go into the directory
[06:58] <newest> omg.... how on earth do i run aegis virus scanner lol, ive just dl it from synaptic package manager, but now i cant find it!!
[06:58] <Madpilot> niles, with an Ubuntu livecd? Odd...
[06:58] <Flannel> fnf: making /fastboot works
[06:58] <niles> no
[06:58] <vivicrow> fnf: thanks :)
[06:58] <Madpilot> newest, why bother with a virus scanner?
[06:58] <niles> well yes i guess its a live cd too
[06:58] <unop> CppIsWeird,  are you member of that group wwwaccess ??
[06:58] <fnf> Flannel: That works only once, isn't it ?
[06:58] <niles> but i have no problems with knoppix.
[06:58] <CppIsWeird> i did chown wwwaccess.wwwaccess; chmod 770 /var/www; wwwaccess and the other users are in the usergroup wwwaccess
[06:58] <duckvenge> anyone here a grub expert? I want to boot my PC into a ext3 partition that holds the Edgy live cd... I want to run by Grub settings by you all
[06:59] <andres_> that's a gnome/gdm issue
[06:59] <Flannel> fnf: right, that's what he wants
[06:59] <andres_> who helps me?
[06:59] <unop> CppIsWeird,  is your user memeber of that group?
[06:59] <fnf> Flannel: Alright, that's new to me, thanks.
[06:59] <duckvenge> anyone notice anything wrong with the following? initrd          /casper/initrd.gz looptype=squashfs loop=/casper/filesystem.squashfs cdroot
[06:59] <gumpish> If I'm formatting a drive that will never be used in a windows environment, what type of disklabel shold i use on it?
[07:00] <vivicrow> flannel: i just read that in checkfs.sh ;)
[07:00] <CppIsWeird> unop: yes
[07:00] <unop> CppIsWeird,  check the ownership again -- ls -ld /var/www
[07:00] <duckvenge> I've not seen looptype used with Grub except for Gentoo... so I am not sure whether I am about to screw up my MBR
[07:01] <andres_> THAT'S A GNOME/GDM ISSUE
[07:01] <CppIsWeird> wwwaccess wwwaccess
[07:01] <andres_> WHO HELPS ME?
[07:01] <Madpilot> ubotu, repeat | andres_
[07:01] <ubotu> andres_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:01] <CppIsWeird> "drwxrwx--- wwwaccess wwwaccess ..."
[07:01] <spinexorz> i wondered if someone could give a hand with a strange issue im having, my fglrx drivers keep getting uninstalled.
[07:01] <unop> CppIsWeird,  ok, please use a !pastebin and paste the output of - whoami; id
[07:02] <Flannel> !ask | andres_
[07:02] <ubotu> andres_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:02] <CppIsWeird> root
[07:02] <CppIsWeird> ok
[07:02] <CppIsWeird> i have two terminals open
[07:02] <CppIsWeird> i am doing all of this as root
[07:02] <CppIsWeird> but i am trying access and such as the logged in user
[07:02] <zero88> can someone tell me how to install flash for mozilla, i know its a simple apt-get command because i got it to work for dapper, but just installed edgy
[07:02] <andres_> who knows of this error:    there was an error loading the theme human             can't open file/usr/share/gdm/themes/human/human.xml
[07:03] <CppIsWeird> want me to do whoami; id as the user i wish to grant access?
[07:03] <unop> CppIsWeird,  errm, run these commands as your user
[07:03] <CppIsWeird> ok
[07:03] <unop> CppIsWeird,  indeed :)
[07:03] <vivicrow> andres_: you deleted the theme?
[07:03] <andres_> NOP
[07:03] <arnducky> zero88: the installer is *&#ed if you are running 64-bit
[07:03] <Flannel> zero88: it's the -plugin package
[07:03] <andres_> YES
[07:04] <superlou> does anyone have issues with an SiS900 Lan?
[07:04] <CppIsWeird> unop: if the information you wish to attain is if the wwwaccess group is listed there, then yes it is.
[07:04] <superlou> problems with the PHY transciever?
[07:04] <zero88> flannel where do i get it
[07:04] <zero88> arnducky ya i know i tried the ubuntuguide wich didnt work
[07:04] <unop> CppIsWeird,  and that would be for 'id' right?
[07:04] <CppIsWeird> yes
[07:04] <arnducky> zero88: otherwise, use the instructions on the flashplayer site -- download, unzip, make executeable (chmod +x [name of flashplayer installer here] ) and execute (run it in a *terminal*).
[07:05] <andres_> UBOTU: DO YOU KNOWS THIS ERROR?
[07:05] <CppIsWeird> oh wait aminute, i think i may have red that wrong
[07:05] <proqesi> andres_: ubotu doesn't speak *that* well
[07:05] <cables> Whenever I create a new user, the user's gnome-panels are messed up. There's only one panel at the top, and it's blank. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
[07:05] <CppIsWeird> what does
[07:05] <zero88> arnducky just seems liek too much work, why doesnt it work anymore, it worked for 6.06
[07:05] <CppIsWeird> * 'id' do?
[07:05] <cables> andres_, ubotu's a bot...
[07:06] <andres_> CABLES: OK
[07:06] <asc_> Could somebody remind me where apt's list of package data (name, description, installed state, etc.) is?
[07:06] <andres_> SORRY
[07:06] <cables> !caps | andres_
[07:06] <ubotu> andres_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[07:06] <CppIsWeird> unop: i think i read that wrong, what does 'id' do?
[07:06] <unop> CppIsWeird,  the id or groups command list your user's groups membership
[07:06] <vivicrow> andres_: i once deleted the human theme, as i dont really use it...but gdm refuse to load after that
[07:06] <arnducky> zero88: note -- the fault lies with Adobe (and they do this all the time), and we all just either find workarounds to install older/non-broken packages or wait for them to fix.   It's proprietary so you can't build it from source.
[07:07] <proqesi> vivicrow: you could also try xdm
[07:07] <darweth> Anyone know the name of the Alsa dev package in Ubuntu?I need to compile mplayer with Alsa.
[07:07] <unop> asc_,  you mean the file? or the command to list that?
[07:07] <zero88> arnducky ah i see,well i jsut found this guide on how to install it so im going to try it,and let you know the oucome
[07:07] <proqesi> vivicrow: if you really don't want fluff
[07:07] <vivicrow> proqesi: i fixed that problem long time ago...can't even remember how i did that
[07:07] <asc_> unop: the file on the disk.
[07:07] <jbinder> darweth: it is supposed to come with alsa
[07:07] <CppIsWeird> i dunno, but i do see the wwwaccess lsited there
[07:07] <darweth> jbinder: not the dev file
[07:07] <unop> asc_,  errm, its one of them in /var/lib/dpkg i think
[07:07] <jbinder> oh
[07:08] <arnducky> zero88: it only takes 5 minutes from a default Ubuntu desktop system (has unzipper installed, etc.) -- if that's too much work...
[07:08] <admbe> Why does ATI suck
[07:08] <unop> CppIsWeird,  see if this makes a difference -- sudo chmod 774 /var/www
[07:08] <andres_> vivecrow: as i solvet it?
[07:08] <asc_> unop: Ah, thanks.  That's the directory I'm looking for.
[07:09] <mathieu> does a default ubuntu dapper allow the use of beryl window manager without extra packages ?
[07:09] <arnducky> admbe: I'd be glad to discuss that with you in another channel  /JOIN #ubuntu-offtopic if you like  (re: ATI)
[07:09] <andres_>  vivicrow: as i solvet it?
[07:09] <unop> mathieu,  if you are asking if beryl is installed by default on dapper, then no
[07:09] <CppIsWeird> unop: yes
[07:10] <vivicrow> andres_: i can't remember how i solve that problem at all, right now, if you can't find that file physically, you should try to get the one and put it back
[07:10] <unop> CppIsWeird, so can you do this now - ls -l /var/www
[07:12] <SlicerDicer-> where do I go for feisty fawn support?
[07:12] <asc_> horay, like the shambling dead synaptic returns to life
[07:12] <andres_> vivicrow: ups. as I can obtain it?
[07:12] <unop> SlicerDicer-,  #ubuntu+1
[07:12] <Frankiebaby1986> Hello All, I am a new Ubuntu user, trying to get my volume controls working properly (mixer mixed up) on an Inspiron 9300. Does anyone have any experience with this?
[07:12] <vivicrow> andres_: yup, i can send it to you if you want
[07:12] <CppIsWeird> unop: what about it?
[07:12] <mzuverink> what is the benefits and the daw backs of running an ident server?
[07:12] <hyarion_> has anyone else had problems with Ubuntu locking up? Everything freezes (except for my mouse) usually 2-3 times a day
[07:13] <vivicrow> andres_: no, wait, i don't have that folder on my system...
[07:13] <unop> CppIsWeird,  you said "yes" .. i'm not too sure what you meant there .. what did you say yes to?
[07:15] <juano__> can anyone help me with an itunes ipod ?

[07:18] <jadacyrus> on another remote computer i mean
[07:18] <darweth> Dumb question.  How do I load nvidia-settings passively so that my color settings take effect logging into Gnome.  I know it is something like --nvidia-settings in session startup, but that is not it cuz it doesn't work.  What is the correct?
[07:18] <juano__> mzuverink: i need the iTunesDB to sync with ubuntu somehow
[07:18] <mzuverink> juano__, cant help u w/ that, sorry
[07:18] <juano__> mzuverink: ok, thanks anyway
[07:19] <Gator> hey guys, I installed Ubuntu 6.10 but GRUB doesn't load on startup
[07:19] <jadacyrus> So basically im asking how I open a gui program on a remote computer via SSH?
[07:19] <kaso> So could someone have another go at helping me de-code these error and working out a fix? http://www.pastey.net/6404 && http://www.pastey.net/6407
[07:19] <mzuverink> pro/cons of running an ident server anyone?
[07:19] <thekidrio> heyas gator hrmm you always have the oddest probs :P
[07:19] <vivicrow> andres_,may i know why you got that problem?
[07:19] <Gator> yeha >_>
[07:19] <mabus> What type of filesystem should I have on my usb key if i want it to be a disk that I can boot up in a vmware virtual machine?
[07:19] <mabus> With ubuntu on the vm
[07:19] <Gator> I'm guessing it's because I used a floppy to disable grub earlier
[07:19] <thekidrio> check the boot order in your bios, sometimes that causes that
[07:19] <cables> Gater, does the system boot? Or do you mean that the menu doesn't show up?
[07:19] <andres_> ajaa ok but you do not know as I can obtain that file?
[07:19] <thekidrio> hrmm, well yeah that could be it haha
[07:20] <Gator> My computer turns on, by it boots directly into XP
[07:20] <thekidrio> gator, check your bios, look to see if you have hardware boot order
[07:20] <cables> Gator, hold down the escape key when you boot, and see if the menu shows up. If it does, that means it's fixable.
[07:20] <thekidrio> then see if you have HD boot priorty
[07:20] <Gator> uh
[07:20] <cables> thekidrio, his computer boots from the HD... it just doesn't boot the right OS.
[07:20] <thekidrio> or is it one HD
[07:21] <thekidrio> cable yeah i know :)
[07:21] <Gator> let me switch to a different computer for mirc
[07:21] <thekidrio> but you can force the hd boot if its a sep drive
[07:21] <thekidrio> and re conf grub
[07:21] <mzuverink> Gator, make sure yuou can boot usb too
[07:21] <Gator> why?
[07:21] <thekidrio> if its a partition on the same hd its not as easy a fix
[07:21] <cables> thekidrio, Gator, are XP and Windows on the same drive?
[07:21] <mzuverink> arent you trying to boot usb?
[07:21] <thekidrio> cables that is the question hehe
[07:21] <Gator> you mean xp and ubuntu?
[07:22] <thekidrio> mzuverink: no he is not hehe
[07:22] <cables> Gator, I mean XP and Ubuntu... sorry
[07:22] <andres_> vivicrow: because actualize of dapper to edgy and when reinitiates the PC did not load the graphs to me and it began in console form
[07:22] <Gator> lol
[07:22] <Gator> yes, they are
[07:22] <Gator> wait
[07:22] <Gator> no =.=
[07:22] <Asc___> jadacyrus: somebody already answer your question?  I got disconnected
[07:22] <cables> Gator, in that case, it's not what thekidrio thinks it is.
[07:22] <thekidrio> different physical drives?
[07:22] <Gator> XP and Ubuntu are on different physical drives
[07:22] <cables> thekidrio... he says they're on the same drive.
[07:22] <cables> damn
[07:22] <cables> i misunderstood
[07:22] <thekidrio> cables:  it is what i think it is hehe i was looking for an easy fix
[07:22] <Gator> I answered wrong
[07:22] <Gator> it's late >_>
[07:22] <cables> thekidrio :) sorry 'bout that
[07:22] <thekidrio> its ok
[07:22] <thekidrio> either way it was what i think hehe
[07:23] <thekidrio> its just one is an easy fix
[07:23] <andres_> vivicrow: soon procedi to unload gdm and me aparecio this error.
[07:23] <thekidrio> one is tougher
[07:23] <thekidrio> if you can force boot to the linux install
[07:23] <thekidrio> then you can reinstall/reconf the boot loader
[07:23] <thekidrio> if its same HD then you have to use a boot disk/live cd
[07:23] <Gator> uh, brb
[07:23] <vivicrow> andres_: have you tried to reinstall the dgm and dgm-themes?
[07:23] <thekidrio> not tough either way if you have a working os though
[07:24] <Gator> okay
[07:24] <Gator> so reboot the other one and hold escape?
[07:24] <andres_> vivicrow: no
[07:25] <friedtofu> hm
[07:25] <cables> Gator, i think he was right... you don't need to hold Esc.
[07:25] <Gator> what did he say to do?
[07:25] <thekidrio> force the boot to the linux HD
[07:25] <cables> Gator, when it boots, choose the other HD from the boot list.
[07:25] <Frankiebaby1986> anyone use Ubuntu on an I9300?
[07:25] <friedtofu> mplayer has out of sync problems on videos that i play that has silence in the first 10 seconds... anyone know how to fix? (its AAC audio format in the mkv file)
[07:25] <vivicrow> andres_: try that and see if it works
[07:25] <thekidrio> if you can choose that in the bios
[07:25] <Gator> you mean change the HD in the bios?
[07:25] <Gator> okay then
[07:25] <thekidrio> yah
[07:26] <thekidrio> cables, what is the esc way?
[07:26] <thekidrio> i have always used seperate drives myself
[07:26] <asc> friedtofu: You can change the sync manually for a quick fix
[07:26] <friedtofu> asc: how do i do that in mplayer?
[07:27] <Gator> whoa
[07:27] <Gator> when booting from this HD grub loaded
[07:27] <ramy> I built a new kernel, but when I try to create the initrd image, i get this error : yaird error: unsupported device required: dm-0 (fatal)
[07:27] <asc> friedtofu: Just a second, I'll try and find the keys.
[07:27] <ramy> any clues ?
[07:28] <thekidrio> gator hehe yeah thats the easy way
[07:28] <thekidrio> not the cool way
[07:28] <thekidrio> cables way is cooler
[07:28] <asc> friedtofu: Looks like keypad + and -
[07:28] <cables> thekidrio, not really... it wouldn't have worked
[07:28] <andres_> vivicrow: as he is the command to write it in the console? I am new in this, sorry!
[07:28] <friedtofu> hm
[07:28] <friedtofu> really?..
[07:28] <friedtofu> i'mma try
[07:28] <cables> thekidrio, Grub was on the other drive... holding Esc. wouldn't do anything.
[07:28] <Gator> I'm going to see if booting xp from the grub menu works
[07:28] <friedtofu> asc: you do this when the video plays?
[07:28] <amonbish> Hi
[07:29] <asc> friedtofu: It's kind of a pain to sync it like that, but sometimes you just gotta. :p
[07:29] <asc> friedtofu: yes
[07:29] <unop> CppIsWeird,  you therre?
[07:29] <Gator> Okay, thank you all for you help for the past 7 hours...
[07:29] <Gator> >_>
[07:29] <Gator> I finally got Ubuntu working again
[07:29] <Gator> and now, to pass out in bed
[07:29] <cables> Gator, what were your other werid problems? I'm curious
[07:30] <Gator> cya
[07:30] <Gator> >_>
[07:30] <cables> Gator, fine, won't delay you, bye
[07:30] <friedtofu> asc: damn... yeah i guess, worth it for a 20 minute anime...
[07:30] <Gator> uh, /bin/sh: can't access tty;job control turned off
[07:30] <friedtofu> asc: is there a way to return it to default after viewing the file?
[07:30] <Gator> about 7 errors sprouting from that
[07:30] <asc> friedtofu: I have an entire season of GitS that's 200 ms out of sync :p
[07:30] <andres_> vivicrow: as he is the command to write it in the console? I am new in this,  sorry!
[07:30] <friedtofu> asc: so i dont have to manually keep pressing the - button... heh
[07:30] <Gator> partition problems, grub problems, etc
[07:31] <friedtofu> wow, for ALL of the files? :) haha dont have to change it much then
[07:31] <Gator> and now, to sleep
[07:31] <Gator> =.=
[07:31] <thekidrio> cables: hehe you are are cool fella, ore lady i suppose cables is not a mans name or a ladies name
[07:31] <asc> friedtofu: You have to set it each time you play an out-of-sync file, it won't save by default.
[07:31] <cables> thekidrio, I'm a guy... that was my grandfather's nickname for me... :)
[07:32] <tkooda> anyone got any idea why dapper's `screen` can't display ansi (?) chars from `bmon`?  (but `bmon` in an rxvt term looks fine)
[07:32] <friedtofu> asc: ah, thats good
[07:32] <thekidrio> hehe it is a cool nickname
[07:32] <cld2> is there a meta package I can install to get everything I need to compile software?
[07:32] <friedtofu> asc: thanks for the info, i couldnt find that option under preferences
[07:32] <thekidrio> cld2: depends on what you mean by compile
[07:33] <vivicrow> andres_: sorry, i was afk
[07:33] <thekidrio> if you mean compile stuff from source for use in the system?
[07:33] <thekidrio> i think thats build-essential
[07:33] <cld2> thekidrio: yes.
[07:33] <asc> friedtofu: I think I found it by pressing keys randomly during normal use.  The mplayer man page is a nightmare.
[07:33] <thekidrio> my spelling is off
[07:33] <thekidrio> one sec
[07:33] <cables> !compile | cld2
[07:33] <ubotu> cld2: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[07:33] <jbinder> yeah
[07:33] <thekidrio> hehe
[07:33] <jbinder> the mplayer man page is insane
[07:33] <thekidrio> btw, i rebound my windows key to terminal haha
[07:33] <thekidrio> i thought that was nice
[07:33] <vivicrow> andres_: try 'apt-get install gdm edgy-dgm-themes'
[07:34] <vivicrow> andres_: sry, typo
[07:34] <vivicrow> andres_: try 'apt-get install gdm edgy-dgm-themes'
[07:34] <cld2> thekidrio: thanks.
[07:34] <cld2> cables: thanks :)
[07:34] <friedtofu> asc: best settings for use on mplayer? :) haha, what video output is best to be used? x11 gl2?
[07:34] <tcpip> i need help installing advik 'lan card' on edgy.. its not getting detected
[07:35] <thekidrio> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:35] <tkooda> how can I get `screen` to display ansi chars?
[07:35] <asc> friedtofu: I always end up using xv.  X11 might also work okay.
[07:35] <vivicrow> andres_: there are people who had similar problem like you do after upgrading from dapper to edgy
[07:35] <thekidrio> that is not ALL of them
[07:35] <thekidrio> but its most of them
[07:36] <RawSewage> where is the php directory.  I want to make a shell script that uses php
[07:36] <tcpip> thedirio: that cmd is for me?
[07:36] <thekidrio> remember you can tab complete apt-get install so type build and just hit tab 3 or so times
[07:36] <RawSewage> whats the #! line for using php in a shell script
[07:36] <friedtofu> asc: strange, even though i set it to 4000 ms, it still starts off the same...
[07:36] <thekidrio> no tcpip sorry
[07:36] <thekidrio> that was for cld2
[07:36] <asc> friedtofu: hum, try setting it after the sound starts?
[07:37] <thekidrio> have your searched google for advik card tcpip?
[07:37] <andres_> vivicrow: is apt-get install gdm edgy-DGM-themes OR apt-get install gdm edgy-GDM-themes?
[07:37] <friedtofu> asc: to delay it would be + and to make it faster would be -?
[07:37] <vivicrow> andres_: apt-get install gdm edgy-gdm-themes
[07:38] <tcpip> thekidrio: but none are related to ubuntu
[07:38] <andres_> VIVECROW: OKA
[07:38] <andres_> sorry
[07:38] <asc> friedtofu: That's a good question.
[07:38] <andres_> vivecrow: oka
[07:39] <friedtofu> asc: blah, i set it to 14000ms and it still sounds off at the start of the video
[07:39] <thekidrio> tcpip: hrmm, i assume you added ubuntu to your search?
[07:39] <tcpip> yup
[07:39] <asc> friedtofu: Hm, it looks as though what it does is change the video in relation to the audio - so '-' should move the video backward, and + should move it forward.
[07:39] <thekidrio> btw ubuntu has a booth down below me if you want me to yell at them
[07:39] <thekidrio> i am at a linux conference
[07:40] <asc> friedtofu: Is it off by the same ammount as with 0 ms?
[07:40] <tcpip> thekidrio: i aint going anywhere
[07:40] <tcpip> yell as much
[07:40] <RawSewage> What's the path to php
[07:40] <RawSewage> !#/path/to/php
[07:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about path/to/php - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:40] <RawSewage> anyone know the path to php
[07:40] <jbinder> !php
[07:40] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[07:40] <thekidrio> !php
[07:40] <cables> RawSewage: "whereis php"
[07:40] <RawSewage> cables, ty
[07:41] <friedtofu> asc: no matter what setting it is, its the same out of sync -.-
[07:41] <andres_> vivicrow: ready, and now?
[07:41] <jbinder> RawSewage: /etc/php5?
[07:41] <jbinder> /etc/php&
[07:41] <jbinder> /etc/php/*
[07:41] <andres_> vivicrow: restart?
[07:41] <jbinder> asdf;kjasdf
[07:41] <jbinder> /etc/php*/
[07:41] <RawSewage> jbinder, ty
[07:41] <friedtofu> asc: as in, there is no pause whatsoever, and will immediately play the sound
[07:41] <thekidrio> /etc/php#/php#.conf
[07:41] <asc> friedtofu: Eh, let me check if it works with an AC3 file of mine
[07:41] <jbinder> lol
[07:41] <friedtofu> asc: its AAC
[07:41] <RawSewage> oh
[07:41] <friedtofu> hm... but i guess they can be synonymous?
[07:42] <vivicrow> andres_: you can type /etc/init.d/gdm start
[07:42] <jbinder> roflmao... microsoft.com has "organise" on their site
[07:42] <jbinder> organise has a Z!
[07:42] <asc> friedtofu: Um.  I don't know.
[07:42] <asc> andbody know if AAC == AC3?
[07:42] <vivicrow> andres_: if you are not running any desktop system
[07:42] <asc> *anybody
[07:42] <cables> asc, they don't
[07:42] <cables> asc, AAC != AC3
[07:42] <asc> righto.
[07:43] <friedtofu> hm.. this is also a .mkv file if that makes any difference
[07:43] <friedtofu> h264 video encoded AAC audio output
[07:43] <asc> friedtofu: have you tried playing in in vlc?
[07:43] <friedtofu> asc: it'll crash
[07:44] <andres_> like thus? explain
[07:44] <ferret_0567> Does anybody use a Intel Core 2 Duo motherboard with Ubuntu 6.10? I want to buy a Intel Core 2 Duo motherboard, so I want to know how well one of those works with Linux.
[07:44] <andres_> vivicrow like thus? explain
[07:44] <cables> ferret_0567, Core 2 Duo is a motherboard?
[07:44] <asc> friedtofu: Heh, ouch.  File might be slightly damaged.
[07:44] <friedtofu> asc: as in, i open the file, vlc pops up for a split second, and then it closes
[07:44] <friedtofu> asc: works in mplayer, and i got it off bittorrent so.. its not corrupted
[07:45] <Anician> Hi
[07:45] <Anician> I would like some with setting up my Internet connection with Ubuntu.
[07:45] <vivicrow> andres_: type 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' in your console
[07:45] <cables> Anician, what type of connection? Wireless or wired?
[07:45] <Anician> Wired
[07:45] <ferret_0567> No, I want to know how well a Intel Core 2 Duo motherboard works with Ubuntu 6.10 Linux
[07:45] <cables> ferret_0567, I assume you mean Core 2 Duo processor?
[07:46] <friedtofu> hm.. i use Hyperthreading so i guess it should be the same? :/
[07:46] <friedtofu> sigh... h264 or x264 takes a toll on the cpu... haha
[07:46] <cables> Anician, are you using a DSL modem?
[07:46] <asc> friedtofu: I have one remaining possibility - the 'acidrip' program is for DVDs, but it seems to be able to transcode any file mplayer can play (I haven't tested this extensively).  You could try using it to transcode the file to mpeg/mp3, which works with everything.
[07:46] <andres_> vivicrow: ready
[07:46] <vivicrow> andres_: press enter of of course
[07:47] <Anician> I'm not sure
[07:47] <vivicrow> andres_: press enter
[07:47] <Anician> Most probably
[07:47] <andres_> vivicrow: ready
[07:47] <Warsaw> i have logs of my server sent to 2 different servers for redundant logs in case one goes down. now i have it working and all but i would need a script that will check both the local and remote logs and compare them to see if some files might be bigger than on the other server
[07:47] <ferret_0567> Yeah, a Intel Core 2 Duo CPU compatible motherboard paired with a Intel Core 2 Duo. I am wondering how well that combination works with Ubuntu 6.10 Linux.
[07:47] <Anician> I use the Aztech ADSL ethernet machine
[07:47] <cables> Anician, DSL, cable, dialup?
[07:47] <Warsaw> basicly i need a script to check files size from a local and remote location and that it will pick the biggest file
[07:47] <vivicrow> andres_: still has the same problem?
[07:47] <Warsaw> in case that one got down and was not updating logs anymore
[07:47] <tcpip> !pkg
[07:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pkg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:47] <ferret_0567> What DVD ripping program do you recommend?
[07:47] <mackinac> is feisty on track to release on schedule [as of now] ?
[07:48] <cables> mackinac, check out #ubuntu+1
[07:48] <ardchoille> ferret_0567: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net
[07:48] <andres_> i will restar my pc. to see
[07:48] <andres_> vivicrow: i'll restart my pc. to see
[07:48] <friedtofu> asc: i'm not really familiar with .mkv files... theyre like avi in the fact that they're containers, but i dont know if acidrip will work for it
[07:48] <vivicrow> andres_: okay
[07:48] <mackinac> :\
[07:48] <friedtofu> asc: but then i guess i'll try anyhow
[07:48] <ardchoille> ferret_0567: It will need some repos, but the installer will let you know what you need before completing the install. The deps are in the repos.
[07:49] <cables> mackinac, #ubuntu+1 is for Feisty questions
[07:49] <mackinac> i know
[07:49] <andres_> vivicrow see you later
[07:49] <mackinac> im not running it or anything
[07:49] <vivicrow> andres_: see you...sry can't help you more
[07:49] <cables> mackinac, they're the most likely to know.
[07:49] <asc> friedtofu: Life is an adventure.  I'm short on mkvs, but I'm going to try with a .ogm
[07:49] <seravitae_> hm how can i stop the xlogin/x stuff on bootup
[07:49] <seravitae_> init.r/?
[07:49] <vivicrow> ferret_0567: dvdbackup + transcode
[07:49] <mackinac> cables, ty
[07:49] <gerald> can someone help me with dual monitor?
[07:50] <cables> !dualhead | gerald
[07:50] <ubotu> gerald: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[07:50] <Lagi-Boejang> j/ surabaya
[07:51] <asc> friedtofu: Eh, it doesn't like my .ogm.  I've got to run, in any case.
[07:52] <friedtofu> asc: thanks for ehlpin
[07:52] <friedtofu> haha
[07:52] <vivicrow> anyone tried to flash their motherboard in ubuntu?
[07:53] <unop> vivicrow,  flash the BIOS you mean?
[07:53] <jbinder> how do you make a rar?
[07:53] <seravitae_> anyone? i really need to temporarily stop X from startup.
[07:53] <vivicrow> unop: yup ;)
[07:53] <unop> jbinder,  rar --help  shows you how
[07:53] <andres_> vivicrow: ready problem solvent thank you!!!
[07:53] <gerald> so how do i setup xinerama for dual monitor?
[07:54] <asc> friedtofu: Glad to try.  Hope y'all get it working.  As a last resort, there are tools to split and combine tracks of .mkv files - and mplayer -ao pcm will output any sound file as .wav, which can be edited in audacity(say, to add ten seconds at the beginning).
[07:54] <vivicrow> andres_: i am glad to hear that ;)
[07:54] <cables> !xinerama | gerald
[07:54] <ubotu> gerald: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[07:54] <jbinder> unop: i do not have rar
[07:54] <unop> vivicrow,  flashing the BIOS is a OS-independant operation -- why would ubuntu care? :)
[07:54] <jbinder> unop: i have unrar though
[07:54] <jbinder> :\
[07:54] <unop> jbinder,  install it then :) .. sudo aptitude install rar
[07:54] <Aboven> What should a ubuntu user code like gc etc :)
[07:54] <Deafboy> can someone help me re-install grub, i made an xp install over my ubuntu?
[07:55] <abc124> I'm a PHP programmer, how can I help Ubuntu/the Ubuntu community?
[07:55] <andres_> vivicrow: ok thank's
[07:55] <MrSprinkle> whats the default user and password!? I have a friend who installed it, and cant log-in :S
[07:55] <asc> friedtofu: but that's the realm of insane bloody-mindedness; getting another copy from limewire might be faster.
[07:55] <cables> !grub | Deafboy
[07:55] <ubotu> Deafboy: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:55] <jbinder> MrSprinkle: there is no default username and password
[07:55] <vivicrow> andres_: have fun
[07:55] <unop> Aboven,  sorry, come again
[07:55] <MrSprinkle> what, just hit enter all the way through it???
[07:55] <Aboven> =(
[07:55] <jbinder> what is an STDIN player?
[07:56] <vivicrow> unop: well, i am just looking for another way of flashing the BIOS
[07:56] <Aboven> i wanna learn to programming stuff what should i program ..
[07:56] <_I_luv_sex> ohhh snaps
[07:56] <_I_luv_sex> python!
[07:56] <_I_luv_sex> Pype
[07:56] <Aboven> :/
[07:56] <arnducky> maybe one that takes input from stdin standard input buffer?
[07:56] <unop> vivicrow,  well, according to your motherboard's vendor -- there should only be one way of flashing the BIOS .. and even that should be used very sparingly
[07:56] <Aboven> What python
[07:56] <_I_luv_sex> python is a program language
[07:57] <thekidrio> and a snake
[07:57] <unop> _I_luv_sex,  can you change your nickname please .. children often come in here
[07:57] <vivicrow> unop: yup, that way is using a program call Asus Upgrade, and it deosn't work
[07:57] <indigoblu> does Feisty support LVM installs that are not alternate CD install (I want to use the graphical install for users who cant do text)
[07:57] <thekidrio> and monty's last name :P
[07:57] <MrSprinkle> are you made to make a username and password during install or after???
[07:57] <thekidrio> during install
[07:57] <seravitae_> seriously, someone must know where gdm/startx is loaded on bootup. in some script somewhere.
[07:57] <thekidrio> you can do it after with sudo passwd <nick>
[07:58] <unop> vivicrow,  hrrm, why/how doesnt it work?
[07:58] <thekidrio> seravitae_: yeah hrmm its in the init.d look for boot up conf
[07:58] <MrSprinkle> so, during install, you should be able to make a username.... hmmmm. I wonder what version my friend downloaded then :S
[07:58] <abc124> I'm a PHP programmer, how can I help Ubuntu/the Ubuntu community?
[07:58] <thekidrio> i think its run level 3  but i am a bit drunk

[07:58] <andou> I have a question about Ubuntu Server instal/setup
[07:59] <andou> I was following this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/node/1388
[07:59] <_I_luv_gimp> =)
[07:59] <vivicrow> unop: can't remember now...said it couldn't find some information...
[07:59] <thekidrio> go for it andou
[07:59] <seravitae_> unop: cool, found it. so I just rename it or something to disable x/login screen?
[07:59] <vivicrow> unop: i have to go back to windows to see the error msg...so no bother
[07:59] <andou> but... I didn't read cd webmin-1.290 as a directory on my desktop
[07:59] <unop> seravitae_,  ahh no -- use the update-rc.d command to do the enabling and disabling
[07:59] <thekidrio> ahh andou you downloaded webmin?
[08:00] <andou> and... there are a lot of 'symbols' that I can't decipher in the guide.
[08:00] <abc124> I'm a PHP programmer, how can I help Ubuntu/the Ubuntu community?
[08:00] <thekidrio> did you download it to your desktop?
[08:00] <andou> thekidrio Yeah
[08:00] <thekidrio> i assume you are installing webmin? hehe
[08:00] <andou> thekidrio: Yes, I did...
[08:00] <thekidrio> its a cool tool
[08:00] <andou> Well, I installed
[08:00] <andou> but not through the terminal
[08:00] <andou> And, I kind of got lost...
[08:00] <thekidrio> synaptic?
[08:00] <unop> abc124,  you can approach individual projects and help them with things like online documentation, etc
[08:01] <andou> I just cicked it and it promted to install
[08:01] <kenthomson> Hello i am in a little trouble can somebody please help me? It's about kiba-dock, anyone familiar with it?
[08:01] <thekidrio> andou: it is probably installed then, the guide is not for you i think
[08:01] <seravitae_> unop, you lost me. this certainly wasnt how i did it last time
[08:01] <thekidrio> i think webmin is accessed in a browser eh
[08:02] <thekidrio> its umm http://localhost:10000 by default
[08:02] <andou> thekidrio: Haha. You might be right. I've got to question myself, if I can't follow a simple guide.
[08:02] <umop> hay does anyone listen to the ubuntu podcast?
[08:02] <thekidrio> nah andou you are doing it the right way
[08:02] <thekidrio> gotta push forward
[08:02] <kenthomson> It's like this: Till i am having beryl as my window manager, the kiba-dock will show transparent background (as i have switched off all colours), but as soon as i change my window manager to metacity, the kiba-dock as got this ugly black background, and all the icons to have it around them. Can someone please help me correct this?
[08:02] <vivicrow> kenthomson: what is kiba-dock?
[08:02] <thekidrio> or you never learn new stuff hehe
[08:02] <unop> seravitae_,  you should use the update-rc.d command to enable and disable services -- the manpage of update-rc.d shows you how
[08:02] <andou> thekidrio: cool thanks :)
[08:02] <thekidrio> !webmin
[08:02] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[08:03] <andou> thekidrio: That's some good advice. I'll keep going with it. Thanks
[08:03] <kenthomson> vivicrow, kiba-dock, as you would have guessed is a dock to place your icons
[08:03] <andou> oh
[08:03] <thekidrio> it works mostly andou
[08:03] <andou> I think that answers my question though.
[08:03] <thekidrio> play with it
[08:03] <thekidrio> its ok
[08:03] <vivicrow> kenthomson, yup, thanks for comfirming my guess ;)
[08:03] <andou> ok
[08:03] <andou> I'll try
[08:03] <thekidrio> it just edits config files
[08:03] <thekidrio> so as long as its not mission critical stuff
[08:03] <thekidrio> play around
[08:03] <kenthomson> No-one willing to help me?
[08:03] <thekidrio> kenthomson: sorry ask again i missed it
[08:03] <andou> it's totally not mission critical. I just want to setup an FTP server to start
[08:04] <thekidrio> ahh then dont use webmin if thats all

[08:04] <seravitae_> unop: i dont need to disable it per se, im just trying to install nvidia drivers, and i need to shut x down. every time i close it (even manually kill -9 pid) it frickin reopens to the ubuntu greeter.
[08:04] <thekidrio> are you installing a lamp server/.
[08:04] <andou> thekidrio yeah.
[08:04] <abc124> unop, so there is no way i can help ubuntu specifically with php programming?
[08:04] <cables> kenthomson, go to #ubuntu-effects for beryl/compiz help
[08:04] <thekidrio> nice
[08:04] <kenthomson> thekidrio,  It's like this: Till i am having beryl as my window manager, the kiba-dock will show transparent background (as i have switched off all colours), but as soon as i change my window manager to metacity, the kiba-dock as got this ugly black background, and all the icons to have it around them. Can someone please help me correct this?
[08:04] <thekidrio> lamp is fantastic
[08:05] <andou> thekidrio: Is it maybe better not to use a GUI with it?
[08:05] <seravitae_> got it, thanks.
[08:05] <thekidrio> kenthomson:  what vid card do you have?
[08:05] <ardchoille> Is there any mucis apps in the repos that can play .aspx files???
[08:05] <vivicrow> kenthomson, i don't know if metacity supports transperant...different window managers do different things
[08:05] <thekidrio> andou: its fine to use a gui, but if just need to set up that first then i might learn the terminal way
[08:05] <kenthomson> thekidrio, nvidia fx5200 128MB RAM
[08:05] <unop> seravitae_,  still -- using update-rc.d is the right way to go about this -- if you want to shutdown x -- CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to the console and then issue this -- sudo killall gdm;
[08:05] <vivicrow> kenthomson, i don't know about those thing...my video card deosn't even support true transperant
[08:06] <seravitae_> unop:  yeah, thats what i did. thanks
[08:06] <thekidrio> kenthomson:  hrmm direct rendering and all that working?
[08:06] <andou> thekidrio: Yeah. I think that might be more interesting... even if I hit a couple bumps along the way.
[08:06] <thekidrio> andou: yeah its much more rewarding
[08:06] <kenthomson> thekidrio, how do i test it? beryl works fine with its effects though
[08:06] <thekidrio> ahh
[08:06] <thekidrio> then do you have emerald installed?
[08:06] <thekidrio> emerald-themes that is
[08:06] <andou> thekidrio: Alright. I'll look for a guide for it without using a GUI.
[08:07] <thekidrio> andou:  do a search for sftp
[08:07] <thekidrio> !sftp
[08:07] <andou> sftp? I'll cehck for it
[08:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sftp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:07] <vivicrow> kenthomson, to text if you have direct rendering...type 'glxinfo' in your terminal
[08:07] <vivicrow> kenthomson, to test if you have direct rendering...type 'glxinfo' in your terminal
[08:07] <thekidrio> type glxinfo | grep direct
[08:07] <unop> abc124,  php is a web-focused language -- ubuntu's web-presence is pretty much handled -- php doesnt have much scope within the ubuntu distribution except that a lot of the starting projects dont tend to have enough documentation, utilities to search info, facts, etc .. which is why i suggested you approach them .. helping what ubuntu is made off is helping ubuntu itself
[08:07] <kenthomson> vivicrow, direct rendering:Yes
[08:07] <thekidrio> yeah if beryl is working then he does
[08:07] <_I_luv_you> hey has anyone here set up a dedicated server with apache2 and bypassed the DOE's filters?
[08:08] <vivicrow> thekidrio, yup
[08:08] <thekidrio> kenthomson: do you have emerald themes installed?
[08:08] <kenthomson> thekidrio, yes a lot
[08:08] <thekidrio> is the border around them in all of the themes/.
[08:08] <vivicrow> thekidrio, i guess it is the metacity's problem
[08:08] <andou> thekidrio: Do you mean Simple File Transfer Protocol or SSH File Transfer Protocol?
[08:08] <thekidrio> and is the border thing a shadow look or just an ugly border
[08:08] <thekidrio> ssh file transfer
[08:08] <thekidrio> aka secure f t p
[08:09] <kenthomson> thekidrio, i get transparent borders in emerald themes
[08:09] <andou> thekidrio: hehe. Ok. Thanks
[08:09] <thekidrio> its a better route to go andou
[08:09] <echosyp> error: `struct page' has no member named `count'
[08:09] <thekidrio> seems like a metacity thing then
[08:09] <echosyp> what does that mean?
[08:09] <thekidrio> hrmm
[08:09] <kenthomson> thekidrio, i get the shadows around window frames too, and they are transparent also
[08:09] <jbinder> how do i check which dev my CD drive is?
[08:09] <jbinder> /dev/...
[08:09] <jbinder> /dev/hd..
[08:09] <kenthomson> thekidrio, any idea how i should trouble should it
[08:09] <thekidrio> hrmm
[08:09] <thekidrio> metacity ubuntu bugs in google
[08:10] <thekidrio> or metacity bugs beryl
[08:10] <thekidrio> webmenu.com is a good search to
[08:10] <thekidrio> too
[08:10] <Jonanin> Walkingstick
[08:10] <thekidrio> it looks at a bunch of search engines at once
[08:10] <Jonanin> LOL
[08:10] <echosyp> error: `struct page' has no member named `count'
[08:10] <echosyp> error: `struct page' has no member named `count'
[08:10] <_I_luv_you> has anyone setup a proxy server?
[08:10] <thekidrio> echosyp: have you pasted that into a google search?
[08:10] <andou> thekidrio: Ok thanks. I'd like to setup a server for use as FTP, a Website and Forums for about 50 people.
[08:10] <kenthomson> thekidrio,  or is kiba-dock supposed to work correctly only with beryl and not with metacity?
[08:10] <echosyp> yes
[08:10] <andou> thekidrio: I don't really know anything about it, but I've got a couple months to practice
[08:10] <yellow> hey guys, how do i set up a default folder settings for gnome ?
[08:11] <thekidrio> i am not very familiar with kiba dock i just sort of played with it so not sure
[08:11] <_I_luv_you> Use apache for a server!
[08:11] <kenthomson> thekidrio, ok
[08:11] <kenthomson> thekidrio, thanks anyways
[08:11] <thekidrio> andou: easy stuff in the end, always search for a solution first its almost always been done before
[08:11] <thekidrio> a lamp server makes that an easy task with research andou
[08:11] <kenthomson> And can someone please tell me how do i change the icons of only a particular folder (for eg the icon) of the /home/ken/music folder?
[08:12] <andou> thekidrio: Alright. That's what I thought - ok thanks again. I'll check out sftp
[08:12] <thekidrio> and ssh in general
[08:12] <vivicrow> kenthomson, just read this: Kiba-dock is run as a standalone program, but it depends on Beryl for its alpha-transparency.
[08:12] <thekidrio> makes it much easier to admin remote servers
[08:12] <kenthomson> vivicrow, could you please give me the source
[08:13] <vivicrow> kenthomson, it's very short, not a kiba-dock how, but on beryl's wiki: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Kiba-dock
[08:14] <kenthomson> Is there a way i can change the icon of a particular folder?????
[08:14] <_I_luv_you> yes
[08:14] <kenthomson> how?
[08:14] <thekidrio> the way you do it depends on the window manager you use
[08:14] <_I_luv_you> but I dont have a clue how to
[08:14] <aarohi> i'm having some trouble playing mp3's... amarok doesn't actually play them... skips by everything in the playlist. how do i check if the mp3 codec's installed?
[08:14] <thekidrio> gnome, or kde or xfce or fluxbox
[08:14] <aarohi> i'm using kubuntu
[08:14] <cables> kenthomson, right click on folder, go to Properties, click the folder icon in that window.
[08:14] <thekidrio> or enlighten
[08:15] <thekidrio> aarohi, you two ways
[08:15] <kenthomson> cableroy, thanks never realised that the simple icon there could be so decieveing :)
[08:15] <thekidrio> try to install the codec
[08:15] <vivicrow> cables: cool, didn't know that before
[08:15] <thekidrio> and if you ahve it already it will fail
[08:15] <cables> kenthomson, why do people call me cableroy?
[08:15] <thekidrio> or do an apt-cache find for the codec
[08:15] <kenthomson> cableroy, cause you wear cables around yourself in the day?

[08:15] <andou> thekidrio: Ok. I'm going to try to set it up. Thanks for the encouragement :)
[08:16] <thekidrio> you can do it for sure
[08:16] <thekidrio> one sec andou
[08:16] <cables> kenthomson, my nick is cables, not cableroy... people call me cableroy, and I don't know why... is it some culture reference?
[08:16] <Flannel> cables: no, it's poor nick completion
[08:16] <kenthomson> cableroy, SEE THIS LINE
[08:16] <_I_luv_you> cabelroy!
[08:16] <_I_luv_you> hahaahaha
[08:16] <_I_luv_you> lmao
[08:16] <thekidrio> heh
[08:17] <_I_luv_you> cabel
[08:17] <kenthomson> cables, see theres a guys called cableroy too in this channel who gets preference of your nick "cables" for name completion when people press "cab" and then <tab>
[08:17] <cables> kenthomson, I had no idea there WAS name completion in this client... that's so cool!
[08:17] <cables> kenthomson, that sorta sucks
[08:17] <unop> ha ha
[08:17] <kenthomson> And one last question, does anyone used GLXboot theme?
[08:17] <aarohi> thank yyou thekidrio
[08:18] <Lard-O-Lad> i cant seem to mount an IMG file in the Edgy LiveCD? It throws the  ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid Arg error.
[08:18] <kenthomson> Anyone using glxboot theme??? I can't seem to get the splash working
[08:19] <kenthomson> Lard-O-Lad,     * To mount Image (ISO) file
[08:19] <kenthomson> sudo mkdir /media/iso
[08:19] <kenthomson> sudo modprobe loop
[08:19] <kenthomson> sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop
[08:19] <cpk1> Seveas: dang, you are quick
[08:19] <cpk1> scripted kick?
[08:20] <kenthomson> cpk1, likely
[08:20] <_I_luv_you> weird
[08:20] <Lard-O-Lad> kenthomson: is the type still the same even if the file is an IMG?
[08:20] <makuseru> does anyone dual boot on a mac? or just linux on a mac? and can help me with the install
[08:20] <_I_luv_you> Seveas is most likely a bot
[08:20] <cables> They should give a warning... some new people don't know that pinging the channel is obnoxious...
[08:20] <seravitae_> hey what do i do to make linux-headers
[08:20] <thekidrio> ./msg Seveas are you my mommy
[08:20] <seravitae_> 'make' didnt work
[08:20] <kenthomson> Lard-O-Lad, Do this "file /home/you-user-name/image-file
[08:21] <kenthomson> Lard-O-Lad, is the output a ISO?
[08:21] <newest> hey how do i switch to root user?
[08:21] <cables> !root | newest
[08:21] <ubotu> newest: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:21] <_I_luv_you> make sure you enabled root
[08:21] <Flannel> newest: ubuntu doesn't use the root account, you use sudo to execute a command as root
[08:21] <kenthomson> thekidrio, i didn't know the whole family is here :)
[08:21] <thekidrio> newest: sudo lets you switch to root for a bit
[08:21] <_I_luv_you> I use root in ubuntu
[08:21] <Flannel> _I_luv_you: there's no reason to enable root
[08:21] <thekidrio> haha kenthomson
[08:21] <_I_luv_you> im in root now
[08:21] <cables> newest, if you want a root shell, use "sudo -i"
[08:21] <_I_luv_you> or
[08:21] <thekidrio> why root in ubuntu?
[08:21] <kenthomson> thekidrio, can you help me set glxboot theme
[08:22] <_I_luv_you> enable it and login as root
[08:22] <thekidrio> defeats the purpose eh
[08:22] <Lard-O-Lad> kenthomson, erm i need to mount an IMG file...
[08:22] <_I_luv_you> cuz
[08:22] <newest> because im trying to install nmap
[08:22] <yellow> hey guys, how do i set up a default folder settings for gnome ?
[08:22] <Flannel> seravitae_: do you want to compile a kernel? or what?
[08:22] <kenthomson> GLXBOOT-theme anyone
[08:22] <cables> newest, use sudo
[08:22] <_I_luv_you> my games dont work properly when not in root
[08:22] <cables> !sudo | newest
[08:22] <ubotu> newest: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:22] <newest> but when i do, i cant find it and therefore use it
[08:22] <thekidrio> hrmm kenthomson, i am not a glx guru really :(
[08:22] <_I_luv_you> roots faster but leaves your comp open
[08:23] <seravitae_> Flannel: i installed a custom linux-headers and linux-image deb files, for my motherboard. it works perfectly
[08:23] <cables> newest, use "sudo <command>" to run a command as sudo.
[08:23] <seravitae_> except nvidia drivers wont install
[08:23] <thekidrio> yeah even though really for a normal user no one attacks you
[08:23] <thekidrio> really
[08:23] <yellow> hey guys, how do i set up a default folder settings for gnome/nautilus ? ( compact layout, view as icons, by name, not showing hidden files) ?
[08:23] <newest> yup works
[08:23] <Flannel> _I_luv_you: it's not faster, it's just a regular user.
[08:23] <aarohi> the help tutorial tells me to install libxine-extracodecs ... but thats not available in adept (i'm using kubuntu). i do have the universe and multiverse enabled
[08:23] <seravitae_> and it points to missing files inside the headers folder
[08:23] <_I_luv_you> ??
[08:23] <thekidrio> fast as in less set up
[08:23] <Flannel> aarohi: You're on edgy?
[08:23] <thekidrio> not faster as in process time
[08:23] <aarohi> Flannel: 6.06
[08:23] <aarohi> Kubuntu
[08:24] <newest> having problems installing applications, because when i do with synaptic package manager, it says its intstalled, then i cant find where its dl,
[08:24] <thekidrio> newest: sometimes they do not create a menu item
[08:24] <cables> newest, "whereis <nameofsoftware>"
[08:24] <_I_luv_you> whens 7.04 comming out?!
[08:24] <thekidrio> one thing to do is install the debian menu
[08:24] <Flannel> aarohi: you sure you added multiverse?
[08:24] <cables> _I_luv_you, april
[08:24] <aarohi> yes Flannel
[08:24] <Madpilot> _I_luv_you, april 07
[08:24] <Flannel> _I_luv_you: in 04 of 07
[08:24] <_I_luv_you> Thanks
[08:24] <Flannel> aarohi: since, that's where it is.  did you update your cache?
[08:25] <seravitae_> Flannel: /var/log/nvidia-installer shows "error: linux/config.h: no file or directory", yet I changed the symlink to my headers (to match the kernel) *shrug*
[08:25] <aarohi> Flannel: is this the one? dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[08:25] <aarohi> i'll do that.
[08:25] <Flannel> aarohi: no, 'dapper' not backports
[08:25] <aarohi> oh... i'm not sure i have that then
[08:26] <aarohi> exactly what should i add to the repositories?
[08:26] <Flannel> aarohi: add multiverse for dapper
[08:26] <pavs> whats the name of the wiki application for ur desktop to right down notes?
[08:26] <aarohi> Flannel: what is the url?
[08:26] <Flannel> pavs: zim is the one that was on planet
[08:26] <Flannel> aarohi: whatever repository you use (same as the rest)
[08:26] <cables> pavs, tomboy?
[08:26] <aarohi> okay
[08:27] <pavs> yes tomboy tnx
[08:27] <Flannel> aarohi: most people just append multiverse to their universe lin
[08:27] <aarohi> should i do that too Flannel?
[08:27] <Flannel> aarohi: it really doesn't make any difference
[08:27] <newest> i typed in whereis: this is what i got ; e:~$ whereis nmap
[08:27] <newest> nmap: /usr/bin/nmap /usr/X11R6/bin/nmap /usr/bin/X11/nmap /usr/share/nmap /usr/share/man/man1/nmap.1.gz .. so now what?
[08:28] <_`XeOn_> hello
[08:28] <newest> how do i get it to run?
[08:28] <aarohi> will appending multiverse to the universe line work Flannel?
[08:28] <thekidrio> ok afk now, food here haha
[08:28] <cables> newest, jsut type in "nmap"
[08:28] <unop> aarohi,  http://pastebin.ca/348620
[08:28] <newest> in the terminal?
[08:28] <cables> newest, yep
[08:28] <Flannel> aarohi: yes.  'deb [url]  dapper universe multiverse'
[08:28] <_`XeOn_> any channel for unreal support?
[08:28] <newest> ah sweet! ty!
[08:29] <cables> newest, after that, you can add it to the menu in System>Preferences>Menu Layout
[08:30] <makuseru> does anyone dual boot on a mac? or just linux on a mac? and can help me with the install
[08:30] <gerald> i get this weird white/greyish screen when i startx while attempting to use dual monitor with xinerama
[08:30] <gerald> can anyone help?
[08:32] <aarohi> thank you Flannel
[08:33] <newest> erm when i set up a menu layout for nmap, i ticked the checkbox for run in terminal, but when i click on it, it opens for like 2 seconds then closes
[08:33] <Flannel> newest: that's because the program runs off of command line arguments
[08:34] <newest> so basically theres no point in creating a menu layout for it
[08:34] <newest> ?
[08:34] <infornography> I am trying to install a game in wine. But when I run regedit, for some reason I can't rename registry keys. Is there a way to work around that?
[08:34] <Flannel> newest: yeah, pretty much.
[08:34] <Flannel> infornography: you might have more luck in #winehq
[08:34] <infornography> Oh ok, thanks
[08:35] <hadron> fellows, my headphone output is not being altered by the master gnome volume control. Any ideas?
