[12:03] <BMT> hello to all
[12:03] <BMT> need some help
[12:04] <neverblue2> Pelo, was a good idea though :)
[12:04] <kazol_> When I run compiz-fusion "compiz --replace" the animations work but the computer is so slow that it's impossible to use-I had to restart X. Any suggestions?
[12:04] <Pelo> neverblue2 you can remove the menu bar and use the main menu icon instead  , more of an all in one button
[12:04] <BMT> i have a few mixes that i want to put on CD
[12:04] <BMT> is there a linux program that can "cut" the mix in separate tracks when i burn the mix to CD
[12:04] <BMT>  ?
[12:04] <[nrx] > !enter > BMT
[12:04] <unperson> Ok.  Here's a simpler question.  Does anyone know how to switch the number of workspaces in compiz?
[12:04] <neverblue2> thanks for trying Pelo :)
[12:05] <Pelo> neverblue2, I'm not done yet
[12:05] <neverblue2> :D
[12:05] <scalawag> unperson -> in compizconfig settings manager
[12:06] <scalawag> under "General Options" - > Third tab "Desktop Size"
[12:06] <unperson> scalawag, Eh?  Sorry, where is that?  I'm not aware of such a thing.
[12:06] <BMT> is there a linux program that can cut a "mix" into separate tracks when i burn it to CD ?
[12:06] <scalawag> in terminal type ccsm
[12:06] <Jowi> BMT, let me see if I understand you correctly. you have one wav/mp3/ogg/flac file that is the whole mix. you want to burn it to a cd and divide it into tracks=
[12:06] <numz> fuck
[12:06] <PriceChild> !ohmy | numz
[12:06] <BMT> yes Jowi
[12:06] <ubotu> numz: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:06] <unperson> scalawag, I may be doing things "old school" based on when I tried compiz in edgy, when you had to just use gconf-editor.
[12:06] <SeveredCross> You could probably use audacity BMT.
[12:06] <numz> !ohmy
[12:07] <Jowi> BMT, not that I know of. you better cut the mix up yourself using audacity or similar program
[12:07] <BMT> i installed audacity today i didn't see where on that program i could do that
[12:07] <numz> !ohmy > BMT
[12:07] <scalawag> Ahhhh...no idea in gconf-editor...
[12:07] <scalawag> do you have ccsm installed?
[12:07] <attunix> Anyone know of a Wubi-like program for OS X?
[12:07] <Pelo> neverblue2, ok, I'm done now, I give up
[12:07] <Dr_willis_> thats a scary thought attunix  :)
[12:07] <neverblue2> Pelo, ill tell you how I did it in a min ;)
[12:07] <stmkhg> hey
[12:07] <BMT> your bot said i was using bad language ..where did i do that at ?
[12:08] <OscarM> i want to change the language to spanish??????????
[12:08] <Jowi> BMT, in audacity you basicly load the full file, then cut it up and save the individual cuts as separate files.
[12:08] <Pelo> OscarM,  menu > system > prefs > language support
[12:08] <Pici> BMT: Someone abusing the bots triggers, thats all.
[12:08] <unperson> scalawag, ccsm exists in Feisty?  'which ccsm' and 'apt-cache search ccsm' both turn up nothing.
[12:08] <jrib> OscarM: on your ubuntu or in the channel?
[12:08] <[nrx] > !botabuse
[12:08] <scalawag> hmmmm....
[12:08] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[12:08] <ianm_> BMT: you know, ending a sentence with a preposition
[12:08] <ismael_> OscarM: ubuntu-es
[12:08] <attunix> anyone know of anything like Wubi for OS X?
[12:08] <OscarM> not, in there
[12:08] <Jowi> BMT, never mind the bot. it was not you abusing
[12:08] <BMT> but when i burn those tracks to CD after using audacity there will still be a two second silence between tracks and i don't want that
[12:09] <Pelo> attunix, no we don'T sorry you'll have to get the cd
[12:09] <unperson> scalawag, Sorry, didn't see you question.  AFAIK I don't have it nor do I know where to get it.
[12:09] <lnx_> i can send file in icq with kopete ?
[12:09] <Jowi> OscarM, /join #ubuntu-es
[12:09] <OscarM> #ubuntu-es
[12:09] <sebastian> hey guys ... you know when you use "Connect to server", is there a path in the filesystem that one can use to access the same server?
[12:09] <Pelo> OscarM, escribar  /join #ubuntu-es
[12:09] <Dr_willis_> sebastian,  you mean in the irc client?
[12:09] <Jowi> OscarM, you need to put "/join #ubuntu-es"
[12:09] <spyteman> hey is anyone experienced with quake 3 (or quake 3 engine games) and the console? I want to use a key that supports toggling it down, and then toggle it up again when in console! but my current keys all dont work anymore once i'm in console.. some dead keys issue?
[12:09] <unperson> scalawag, I figured out the answer to my question, wrt to gconf.
[12:09] <neverblue2> how can you refresh a panel ?
[12:09] <sebastian> Dr_willis_: no i mean in ubuntu ...
[12:09] <scalawag> good deal...
[12:09] <Pici> sebastian: huh? I'm not sure what you mean.
[12:09] <BernieMac> my ubuntu freezes on reboot if I have my wireless card on(laptop).  Suggestions?
[12:09] <Pelo> neverblue, killall -9 gnome-panel
[12:09] <unperson> scalawag, But I'll check into this ccsm, as a more user-friendly settings interface would be nice.
[12:10] <scalawag> unperson, if you want it, just apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[12:10] <unperson> scalawag, Thanks.
[12:10] <neverblue2> Pelo :O
[12:10] <scalawag> it's quite friendly
[12:10] <scalawag> ...usually
[12:10] <scalawag> :)
[12:10] <stmkhg> i want to chage the language of opne office to french can i find help
[12:10] <neverblue2> thats not a refresh :)
[12:10] <supernerd> spyteman: look for a config file in .quake3
[12:10] <jrib> sebastian: let me know if you figure that one out, I wish for the same thing
[12:10] <Pelo> BernieMac, look it up in the forum something like that is bound to be mentionned
[12:10] <Pelo> neverblue, no it restarts it
[12:10] <unperson> scalawag, Heh.   Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, jenda, nixternal, Myrtti, mneptok or Pici
[12:11] <neverblue2> later :)
[12:11] <Jowi> BMT, there are ways to skip the 2 second lag. for example "graveman" cd burner has an option in "audio cd". there's a checkbox for "no pause between each track (DAO mode)"
[12:11] <BMT> how can i put my "home" folder icon back on my desk top
[12:11] <jrib> !icons > BMT (see the private message from ubotu)
[12:11] <BernieMac> Pelo: will do, thought I'd check here and see if anyone had the problem and could offer up a quick fix
[12:11] <BMT> thanks jowi
[12:11] <Pelo> BMT,  gconf-editor   /app/nautilus/desktop , there is a box to check
[12:11] <unperson> scalawag, It turns out that the setting for more workspaces is compiz->general->screen0->options->hsize.  Not exactly obvious.
[12:12] <Pici> sebastian: As far as I know, it won't really mount it.  I'd love to have that feature, but I dont think it exists yet.
[12:12] <scalawag> lol, I'd still be looking
[12:12] <Jowi> BMT, graveman is the burner app i use, I bet other burners have similar options for DAO (Disk At Once)
[12:12] <BMT> what is gconf-editor ?
[12:12] <Jowi> BMT, no probs
[12:12] <Pici> !icons | BMT
[12:12] <ubotu> BMT: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[12:12] <zOap> how do you turn off update-notifier? so it won't load at startup?
[12:12] <BMT> what is nautilus
[12:12] <spyteman> somehow my amarok wont stop crashing... when i try to play an mp3 it just crashes
[12:13] <Pelo> BMT,  open a terminal and type gconf-editor , it's a regedit like  db for gnome settings
[12:13] <linuxftw> !games
[12:13] <spyteman> mp3 playback works fine in exaile tho
[12:13] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[12:13] <QuiksilverKev> hey guys
[12:13] <jrib> BMT: the file browser
[12:13] <Jowi> BMT, nautilus is the default file manager for gnome
[12:13] <BMT> ok thanks pelo
[12:13] <sebastian> Pici: oh ok ... that's a shame
[12:13] <QuiksilverKev> Is there someone here that can help a n00b out with a problem?
[12:13] <Poul|Raider> i get "no mixer avalible" when pressing setup in ventrilo.  the sound works tho
[12:13] <Dr_willis_> and the problem is?
[12:13] <Pelo> QuiksilverKev,  only if you tell us the problem
[12:13] <jrib> z0rz: system -> preferences -> session  startup
[12:13] <spyteman> is anyone using a touchpad with additional keys to mousekeys (like cursor keys)? i got an acer notebook but somehow i cant get them to work like i want to, gsynaptics doesnt work at all!
[12:13] <QuiksilverKev> Ok... its an Acer Aspire 5050 laptop, with a Broadcom WLAN Airforce card in it
[12:13] <zOap> jrib, that was for me?
[12:14] <QuiksilverKev> But.. i cant get it to work
[12:14] <Pelo> Poul|Raider, maybe you should look around for a ventrilo channel or check the ventrillo site for a faq or a forum
[12:14] <jrib> zOap: erm, yeah
[12:14] <QuiksilverKev> ubuntu seems to recognise it, but, the switch on the front of the laptop seems to be dead
[12:14] <neverblue2> trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:14] <QuiksilverKev> so i cant switch it on
[12:14] <ffm> how do I install a kernal modual?
[12:14] <neverblue2> Pelo, what I found didnt work
[12:14] <BMT> ok on configuration editor i see apps, desktop, schemas, and system
[12:14] <Pelo> QuiksilverKev, check here to see if there is specific info on the card  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:14] <BMT> all i want to do is put the "home" folder icon on my desktop
[12:14] <Pelo> neverblue2, I'm sure it can be done,  maybe give #gnome a try
[12:15] <jrib> BMT: go to the key that ubotu told you about
[12:15] <neverblue2> Pelo, /whois neverblue2
[12:15] <BernieMac> what is the hardware scan terminal command?
[12:15] <neverblue2> :)
[12:15] <QuiksilverKev> ok thanks Pelo ill check
[12:15] <jrib> BernieMac: lshw
[12:15] <Pici> BernieMac: sudo lshw
[12:15] <BernieMac> thanks
[12:15] <Pelo> BMT,  in   app/nautilus/desktop
[12:15] <neverblue2> jrib knows, he just wont tell me :)
[12:15] <epiclulz> what's a good software for video editing
[12:15] <Poul|Raider> pelo havent found any, and i dont think its a ventrilo problem.
[12:15] <jrib> epiclulz: pitivi, kino
[12:15] <zOap> jrib, thats for gnome right? I use xfce and the Session and startup does not contain anything like that..
[12:15] <JeevesMoss> what is the easiest pop3 and smtp server to setup for vhosts?
[12:16] <jrib> zOap: yes, for gnome.  Not sure about xfce
[12:16] <JeevesMoss> what is the easiest pop3 and smtp server to setup for vhosts?
[12:16] <jonnymac> package libdvdcss2 is not available but is referred to by another package/ has no installation candidate
[12:16] <Seveas> JeevesMoss, pop3: dovecot or courier, smtp: postfix
[12:16] <bruenig> z0rz, xfce4-autostart-editor
[12:16] <QuiksilverKev> Pelo : is that site working for you? Its seeming to be a bit dead here on the wireless card section.
[12:16] <BMT> once i pick what i want on the desktop do i just exit ...or is there a "save" feature
[12:16] <Jowi> epiclulz, depends on your needs. "devede" is very simple but lacks some features.
[12:16] <BMT> i didn't see one
[12:16] <deus> OK! what packages of that god damn module do i need (nvidia-kernel-modules)
[12:16] <zOap> bruenig, thanks
[12:16] <jonnymac> so how am I supposed to watch dvd's
[12:16] <QuiksilverKev> pass - its working now.
[12:16] <Pelo> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:16] <jrib> BMT: you just exit once you get it the way you want
[12:16] <JeevesMoss> seveas:  thanks
[12:16] <BMT> and when i exit....the icons did not show up on my desktop
[12:16] <Ray_at_UW> !sound
[12:16] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[12:17] <zith_> on my new Dell XPS M1330 laptop, my wifi card comes up as "09:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Broadcom Corporation Unknown device 1713 (rev 02)", how do i know what model and chipset this is?
[12:17] <jrib> axz: what filesystem?
[12:17] <jrib> BMT: join me in #ubuntu-classroom

[12:17] <Ray_at_UW> jrib: I went through the configuration, and the documentation... I ended up having to make a bunch of changes to my xorg.conf, but it's working now. :)
[12:17] <Pelo> later folks
[12:18] <neverblue2> later Pelo...
[12:18] <neverblue2> shoot
[12:18] <lnx_> i hav totem + firefox and when i click on avi \ wmv file in ff i get "getting stream from url" ant it doesnt start any idea's ?

[12:19] <jrib> axz: +x doesn't mean full access.  Feel free to ask me more questions if you are still not sure what to do after reading the guide ubotu sent you
[12:19] <jonnymac> nope still didn't work
[12:19] <Ray_at_UW> !usbheadset
[12:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usbheadset - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:19] <astate> I'm running a lamp server locally in vmware, so I'm not worried about security...but basically I want to know if there is a command I can execute (after sudo -s) that will make all of my changes seem like its coming from the user www-data so I don't have to be constantly chown'ing things
[12:19] <jonnymac> I'm about to begin crying:'(
[12:19] <axz> yeah reading it thanks
[12:19] <Jowi> lnx_, mplayer + mozilla-mplayer is a good combination. otherwise install the correct wmv codecs for totme

[12:20] <jonnymac> I did
[12:20] <Ray_at_UW> Linux is hard when it takes 3 hours to set up a video card. >.> In windows it's kinda easy.
[12:20] <linuxftw> How can I get my nvidia graphics driver to use SLI?
[12:20] <bruenig> Ray_at_UW, takes less than 2 min to setup a video card
[12:20] <NemesisD> hi all, running dual monitors with twinview, how do i set up another panel applet that shows only the windows on that screen?
[12:20] <Ray_at_UW> bruenig: I mean for idiots like me. :P
[12:20] <lnx_> Jowi , i CAN see these movies in my computer only when i need to see them in firefox there is problem
[12:21] <bruenig> Ray_at_UW, of course doing something you don't know how to do will take time and seem hard
[12:22] <Ray_at_UW> bruenig: I suppose it's the lack of pretty gui walkthrough boxes and executable that you can download and double click to install your drivers to get maximum resolution like you can in windows.
[12:22] <Ray_at_UW> bruenig: No fault of linux developers of course.
[12:22] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: 3 hours?
[12:22] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: what do you have
[12:22] <NemesisD> erm let me rephrase, how do i create a second panel applet?
[12:23] <Ray_at_UW> blank: I installed an Nvidia GX 5200FX
[12:23] <BlankDenim> nemesisD: just right click on an already existing one I think, then click new panel?
[12:23] <neverblue2> trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:23] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: you should've just went to System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[12:23] <kbrooks> neverblue2:
[12:23] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: I did, it dropped me to 640x480
[12:23] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: it then should've downloaded and installed automatically, extremely easy
[12:23] <NemesisD> BlankDenim, but i need the 2nd one to be on my 2nd monitor, it just makes another window list on my first one
[12:23] <neverblue2> yes kbrooks ?
[12:23] <gil_> hi i am gil fernando from mexico
[12:23] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: and you did what, after that?
[12:23] <jrib> gil_: welcome
[12:23] <BlankDenim> NemesisD: And you can't drag it to the second one?
[12:24] <Ray_at_UW> blank: I came on here, asked for help, tried the command that the bot suggested to restart the x server, but that caused my computer to hang for about 10 minutes.
[12:24] <BlankDenim> gil_: hola, si necesitas ayuda en espanol, visita #ubuntu-es
[12:24] <gil_> somebody can explaine me  how to installs software? stap by step?
[12:24] <Jowi> lnx_, I don't understand the problem. if you click on a link with a wmv do you get "open with" and you chose totem or you get a helper application that opens the file?
[12:24] <jrib> !software > gil_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[12:24] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: afterwards?
[12:24] <bruenig> Ray_at_UW, I have never set up a driver in windows but I can say in windows, there are basically two steps, getting the module in the tree, and setting up the box to load the module at boot, which is fairly straight forward when you think about it. Abstraction (gui) is what causes this baffling misunderstanding of how things work.
[12:24] <bruenig> in linux*
[12:24] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: So then I went onto the docs, and went through the steps, tried the auto-detect first... then I went googling for my hori and vert for my monitor.
[12:24] <jonnymac> it says Open  System->Administration->Software Properties  but I ain't got no software properties, I got software sources but nuffink else and nothing in there cirresponds
[12:24] <Wolphie> Ffs
[12:24] <kbrooks> neverblue2, nm
[12:24] <NemesisD> BlankDenim, oh wait my bad i think i might have it now
[12:24] <gota1> hi. Pop quiz question that an ubuntu forums/launchpad search search did not turn up
[12:24] <gota1> essentially this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/22336
[12:24] <gil_> with scrips
[12:25] <Wolphie> Can somebody PM me if they can help me setup my webserver please
[12:25] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: you should've simply edited xorg.conf, but yeah, first time around takes a while, second time around it'll be fast, it's natural
[12:25] <Ray_at_UW> Blank, Bruenig: I understand how it works now. The lack of gui was really what made it tough. And hasseling with VI.
[12:25] <slimjimflim> anybody know how to edit site-available and/or sites-enabled to host 2 websites on 1 ip in apache2?
[12:25] <ikonia> Wolphie what part ar eyou not clear in ?
[12:25] <neverblue2> Wolphie, try in #apache
[12:25] <Wolphie> It's not apache i'm struggling with
[12:25] <Wolphie> It's setting permissions for proftdp
[12:25] <Wolphie> proftpd*
[12:25] <neverblue2> then #proftpd
[12:25] <bruenig> Ray_at_UW, but if you understand those things why would a gui be necessary or abstraction at all really, just drop the file into the tree, edit a config file and you are off
[12:25] <gota1> my latop reported, when i tried a LiveCD that my CPU temperature was 102degrees c and powered the thing down.... anyone else here have a 64bit acer?
[12:25] <lnx_> Jowi , no i get "conntect to" in firefox and black firefox page liek its gona start in the browser and it simply doesnt start , i want to open it internal not in external player . . .
[12:25] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: this might sound stupid, but you did try to change the resolution from the menu right?
[12:25] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: Yeah, only gave me the 640x480 option.
[12:26] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: oh okay, that most likely is a bug that hopefully will be fixed
[12:26] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: The odd thing is, it detected my monitor's refresh at 50 when it was supposed to be 75.
[12:26] <neverblue2> trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:26] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: do your drivers work now?
[12:26] <Jowi> lnx_, the only internal player I know of is mozilla-mplayer ( a plugin for firefox to play movies ). other than that, does other wmv links work ok?
[12:26] <unperson> Ok, so one more question.  I thought there used to be a way to adjust how far out the viewpoint zooms from the cube when switching desktops with rotate.  Is this still possible and, if so, how?
[12:26] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: So I googled and found the proper vertrefresh and horisync... and then modified the xorg.conf, and made a backup in case it breaks.
[12:27] <gota1> Windows runs fine though...
[12:27] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: next time you can try the envy scripts I guess, for example Restricted Drivers Manager doesn't work for me with my 8600 GT
[12:27] <Ray_at_UW> Blank: Yeah. :) After hassling with it, I've gotten it working. I feel accomplished.
[12:27] <jonnymac> What am I supposed to be using if I can use libdvdcss2
[12:27] <BlankDenim> !envy | Ray_at_UW
[12:27] <ubotu> Ray_at_UW: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[12:27] <jonnymac> if I can't
[12:27] <Wolphie> Gah, nobodies active in there
[12:27] <Bjornalf> neverblue: you can lock stuff on the panels by right clicking and choosing lock to panel for each one.. you can't get rid of only places and system as they're one panel app with applications
[12:27] <BlankDenim> Guess you shouldn't use it anymore haha
[12:27] <gil_> some body talk spanish
[12:27] <bruenig> wow never seen someone use !envy in hopes of persuading someone and get told off like BlankDenim
[12:27] <BlankDenim> gil_: ya te dije, si necesitas ayuda en espanol, visita #ubuntu-es
[12:28] <BlankDenim> gil_: escrive "/join #ubuntu-es"
[12:28] <bruenig> usually it is someone trying to tell people not to use it
[12:28] <jonnymac> well if by active you mean as helpless as a half-drowned kitten with the funny baby smell of diarrhoea - well gosh darnit I s'pose that's me
[12:28] <QuiksilverKev> Hmm
[12:28] <BlankDenim> bruenig: I've never used it
[12:28] <QuiksilverKev> I cant find out which broadcom card i have
[12:28] <Ray_at_UW> Now I need to figure out how to get my Plantroics DSP-500 working.
[12:28] <Wolphie> LOL
[12:28] <BlankDenim> bruenig: and I've heard people talking about it, for example that's a last resort for some people
[12:28] <Ray_at_UW> I kind of like having sound...
[12:28] <Jowi> jonnymac, install "libdvdread3" then run "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh"
[12:28] <jonnymac> I have already installed libdvdread3
[12:28] <ninjabooty> I get an error when booting feisty with "start or install"
[12:28] <bruenig> BlankDenim, yeah those some people are sad individuals, not sure why they own computers really
[12:29] <Aethelred> I'm having a program die from having too many files open. How do I change this limit?
[12:29] <jonnymac> I am installing all the packages that my dear friend help was telling me to
[12:29] <Jowi> jonnymac, yes, but you need decss. after that at least mplayer should play your dvd.
[12:29] <ninjabooty> amd64 on Core2 Duo 6300 with ATI x700
[12:29] <BlankDenim> bruenig: what's your problem? I have an 8600 GT, Restricted Drivers Manager doesn't have drivers for the 8 series, what else are they left to do?
[12:29] <Sajes> I can't have sound atm, I've got an X-Fi Xtreme Gamer sound card, which ALSA doesn't support.
[12:29] <jonnymac> just decss?
[12:29] <neverblue2> Bjornalf, I seen your reply, could you read the question again, and see if its something that can be done ?
[12:29] <BlankDenim> I installed the official ones from their site, but John Doe might not be as smart
[12:29] <BlankDenim> They hear talk of envy, and try it
[12:29] <bruenig> BlankDenim, there is a website called nvidia.com, from there, well there are instructions
[12:30] <BlankDenim> bruenig: Whatever
[12:30] <BlankDenim> Ray_at_UW: first time of configuring everything will take a while, but if you take the time to learn what you're doing while configuring, the subsequent times will be a breeze
[12:30] <Sajes> BlankDenim: If it didn't say it would wreck my system, I would've tried it.
[12:30] <ninjabooty> my monitor goes into 'power save" mode
[12:30] <Ray_at_UW> So... does anyone have suggestions about how to get my DSP-500 plantronics headset working?
[12:30] <jonnymac> decss doesn't exist when I search synaptic manager either
[12:30] <Stormx2> Can anyone suggest a nice out-of-the-box wireless card to purchase?
[12:31] <Ray_at_UW> I've done a little bit of googling, but most of it is inconclusive. Actually, that's how my config got messed up in the first place, trying to install the DSP-500.
[12:31] <neverblue2> Bjoern-Erik, by default, a Menu Bar is used, but if I use Main Menu, I am still not able to get Places/System out of the menu
[12:31] <ninjabooty> it doesn't work in "safe graphics mode" either

[12:31] <ubotu> jonnymac: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[12:31] <neverblue2> Ray_at_UW, what are you trying to get it run in?
[12:31] <Sajes> Ray_at_UW: Try throwing it against the wall, unplugging it, snapping the cord, then reconnecting the cord and plugging it back in to see if it works.
[12:31] <zith_> is there a specific ubuntu installcd i should get to get my unknown broadcast wifi card working?
[12:31] <BlankDenim> Sajes: What's all your guys' problems? I'm not telling anyone to try it. It was the same deal with Automatix, when it first came out, everyone was hyped up about it, now everyone knows it can ruin installations. Say you were around when Automatix was 'good', then you come back and suggest it to a person in need of help, and you get bashed not knowing that Automatix is now 'bad', that's my situation with Envy, so lay off
[12:31] <Ray_at_UW> Neverblue: I guess xmms. So I can listen to my music.
[12:31] <neverblue2> Bjornalf, I mean that for u
[12:31] <Ray_at_UW> Sajes: You know, I've thrown this thing against the wall tons of times, it still works in windows. :P
[12:32] <jonnymac> I've read that thing and I'll read it once more if you're convinced it's there -One day I'm going to get great satisfaction of !'ing someone else
[12:32] <neverblue2> Ray_at_UW, works in windows is an insulting comment
[12:32] <emmc> t
[12:32] <Ray_at_UW> neverblue: Sajes was being mean, he deserved it.
[12:32] <Sajes> BlankDenim: I have no problem.. I was just suggesting that I would've done it.. what's your problem?
[12:32] <BlankDenim> neverblue2: True nonetheless, the truth hurts
[12:32] <neverblue2> Ray_at_UW, if you would like assistance, I can help, I use those all day long
[12:32] <Bjornalf> neverblue2: ahh ok right click on the apps/places/system menu, unckeck lock to panel then you should be able to remove it
[12:32] <WooD> Hi guys.. I have Ubuntu server and have configured a pppoeconf on startup. But now I want to remove that pppoe starting automaticaly on boot any suggestion ?
[12:33] <neverblue2> Bjornalf, its not that easy, im sorry to say
[12:33] <BlankDenim> Sajes: my problem is that everyone seems to have a problem with me for suggesting someone with no other option, to use Envy, when I didn't know that Envy was now considered 'bad'
[12:33] <Sajes> Ray_at_UW: How was I being mean?
[12:33] <Ray_at_UW> Neverblue: Well, do you have any suggestions in terms of modifying my config file so my system can work with it? I can give you a pastebin if my xorg.conf if it will help.
[12:33] <gota1> neverblue2: works in windows should be seen as a challange not an insult
[12:33] <Ray_at_UW> Sajes: You were being sarcastic!
[12:33] <BlankDenim> gota1: exactly
[12:33] <Sajes> Just because you guys misinterpret my comments doesn't mean I'm trying to be mean.
[12:33] <ninjabooty> I think its some kind of kernel panic
[12:33] <neverblue2> !offtopic
[12:33] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:33] <Bjornalf> neverblue2: umm kinda odd.. i can do that with no problem...
[12:33] <Jowi> jonnymac, read what I said once more about libdvdread3
[12:33] <Sajes> Ray_at_UW: I was typing a joke.
[12:33] <bruenig> except windows supports far less hardware than linux does
[12:33] <ninjabooty> because i386 version works fine
[12:33] <neverblue2> Bjornalf, im sure you can do what you think, but its not what I am asking
[12:34] <Jowi> jonnymac, it will install decss2 for you.
[12:34] <ninjabooty> windows supports far less hardware? are you talking about booting from a raid controller or what?
[12:34] <Jowi> now I need to sleep. good night all
[12:34] <ninjabooty> where's all the boot floppies at?
[12:34] <ninjabooty> booyah!
[12:34] <Ray_at_UW> Sajes: Okay. :) I apologize for my incompetence.
[12:34] <gota1> look windows is windows linux is linux, and ubuntu is ubuntu... i have a linux problem installing ubuntu, do any of you guys have acer laptops?
[12:35] <Jowi> ninjabooty, floppies? that's a word I don't miss :)
[12:35] <pillowpants> When I just closed a full screen game, my resolution shrank
[12:35] <ninjabooty> ever buy a motherboard with an onboard raid controller?
[12:35] <Ray_at_UW> Neverblue: Here's my xorg.conf:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37457/ I guess I should get my system to know the headset is plugged in first right?...
[12:35] <pillowpants> and its not fixing back
[12:35] <pillowpants> what should i do?
[12:35] <Ray_at_UW> pillow: try pressing control-alt-backspace
[12:35] <ninjabooty> they still give out floppies for NT kernel support for when you want to install to a RAID
[12:35] <Ray_at_UW> pillow: restarts your desktop.
[12:35] <pillowpants> nah, i have stuff open i cant close
[12:36] <pillowpants> there was a command i put into the console a while back
[12:36] <pillowpants> does anyone know it?
[12:36] <seraph34> um... k... I need some help with my crazy xorg.conf file... it's blank... completely
[12:36] <pillowpants> it resets x
[12:36] <neverblue2> Ray_at_UW, Xorg has nothing to do with your headset, hold on a minute, thanks
[12:36] <SpudDogg> Anyone ever try running Ubuntu on like an old school Tandy?

[12:36] <linuxftw> how can I configure my graphics card?

[12:37] <bruenig> ninjabooty, it supports more processor architectures more everything than windows does in terms of hardware is what I meant, read up
[12:37] <NemesisD> generally how safe is ntfs-config considered for ntfs read/write?
[12:37] <gota1> X also has ctrl alt + and ctrl alt - for switching between the different X resolutions is has been configured with
[12:37] <jonnymac> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[12:38] <NemesisD> jonnymac, do you have synaptic or apt running?
[12:38] <bruenig> NemesisD, ntfs-config is a front end, if you can do without, it is generally best to do so
[12:38] <SpudDogg> neverblue: what does addquote do?
[12:38] <jonnymac> aaah...
[12:38] <pillowpants> !reso
[12:38] <NemesisD> bruenig, whatever it uses for a backend, is that considered safe for read/write?

[12:38] <neverblue2> Bjornalf (original question) --> trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:39] <BernieMac> if I leave my wireless enabled and reboot I freeze during the ubuntu boot screen. Have searched the forum and couldn't really find any posts with this same issue. Anyone know what the problem could be?
[12:39] <bruenig> NemesisD, what do you mean, ntfs-config just edits text files, the drivers come separate from it and aren't really dealt with ntfs-config
[12:39] <bruenig> !info ntfs-3g

[12:39] <b33r> Hello I just installed ubuntu 64bit version and install went good but when I restarted I couldn't boot through hard drive, I get an error "unable to boot from media" I think my MBR is messed or something, any advice?
[12:40] <BernieMac> fredthedog: I believe if you are just running from the live cd your changes are lost on reboot. Someone may know something more but that is my understanding
[12:40] <bruenig> NemesisD, yes
[12:40] <fredthedog> reinstall b33r
[12:40] <gota1> b33r what kind of machine?

[12:42] <neverblue2> signaltap2, apropos monitor
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> linuxftw edit the xorg.conf, or use the nvidia-xconfig tool, or theres some other nvidia tool also. (try nvidia<tab> in a shell)
[12:42] <ErUpTiON> Hey, Guys, after installing ubuntu the latest version,,, the computer did nothing it even didn't ask me to restart the system, and when i manually restarted it,the computer said no system is installed
[12:42] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: hmm, try reinstalling, or were you dual booting or something?

[12:43] <signaltap2> i want to see my oveclocked computer stats

[12:46] <neverblue2> Audio I/O plugins

[12:48] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: no problem, if there are any errors, then it could be that you downloaded it wrong (As in, during the download of the image, something was wrong) or the burn was wrong, all in all you have a faulty disk, in which case I suggest you re-download the ISO/disk image, and re-burn it
[12:48] <Ray_at_UW> neverblue: That's bad! It hurts me ears.
[12:48] <hell-boy> how i can set my network card speed

[12:50] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: It's great, of course don't expect it to run like a genuinely installed OS (i.e., don't expect to run crazy 3D games or anything 3D graphics intensive), other than that, it can give you a nice feel of the OS without having to risk installing it
[12:50] <neverblue2> nice :)
[12:50] <Ray_at_UW> Now I can go back to doing work instead of using worktime to set up my computer.
[12:50] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: but you can't judge Ubuntu all just by running it on VmWare, you can only get an idea of what it's like, but go for it
[12:50] <fredthedog> Another question when I use the guided partition what is it making? Just root and swap partitions? Also what is it giving me for a swap size?
[12:50] <ttyS1> any ideas on what I should do to troubleshoot the audio ?
[12:51] <Gizmo_the_Great> fredthedog, swap is usually twice the size of your RAM
[12:51] <marylou> !mint
[12:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mint - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:51] <marylou> !linuxmint
[12:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linuxmint - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:51] <ErUpTiON> BlankDenim: actually i was planning for that to install different versions of linux on Vmware and try each of them and You know that's a hard job on a real machine
[12:51] <jonnymac> if it says setting up libdvdcss2 ... and then goes back to waiting for a command does that mean it's done?
[12:51] <fredthedog> gizmo: that would be bad as that would be 5G
[12:51] <Gizmo_the_Great> fredddy, not bad if you have storage :-)
[12:51] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: Alright, that could be a good idea, I'm pretty sure you'll end up choosing ubuntu though
[12:52] <ninjabooty> ughm
[12:52] <ninjabooty> bug reports?
[12:52] <gosha> How do i do the like ... "windows repair connection"-thing in ubuntu?
[12:52] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: unless you mean different versions of ubuntu as in Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc., in which case there's no need, since the only difference is that they come installed with different programs, but in any one of those you can install any programs, if you know what I mean
[12:52] <BernieMac> how can I check the size of my swap partition?
[12:52] <ErUpTiON> BlankDenim: well i heard and i already read many articles suggesting ubuntu as the best Linux distribution
[12:52] <Wolphie> I need help with proftpd? Anybody?
[12:52] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: they aren't wrong :P
[12:52] <seraph34> !swap
[12:52] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[12:52] <SrPilha> hello folks
[12:52] <ErUpTiON> :)
[12:52] <Flannel> Gosha: You'll have to explain what you're trying to do.  We have no idea what windows "repair conenction" is.
[12:52] <Gizmo_the_Great> Gosha, 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'
[12:52] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: I need to go now, I'll be back later
[12:52] <[DMC] > is there a mount option to mount by label like the fstab can?
[12:52] <Gizmo_the_Great> Gosha, will restart it all
[12:53] <ninjabooty> herro?
[12:53] <seraph34> !swap | BernieMac
[12:53] <Gosha> Okay, thanks
[12:53] <ubotu> BernieMac: please see above
[12:53] <OiPenguin> Cannot get D-Link DWL-610 wireless on 7.04 to work. Need advice or directions to a guide.
[12:53] <ErUpTiON> BlankDenim:  thanx for your kind help
[12:53] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: no problem
[12:53] <SrPilha> ppl, what's the terminal command to copy files?
[12:53] <BlankDenim> ErUpTiON: have fun
[12:53] <ninjabooty> X11 dies trying to boot amd64 feist
[12:53] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: cp
[12:53] <ninjabooty> feisty
[12:53] <SrPilha> cool
[12:53] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: cp thisfile therenamedfile
[12:53] <SrPilha> last one: what's the one to change authorisations?
[12:53] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: I mean, cp thisfile thisfile2
[12:53] <ninjabooty> s/ATI/vesa
[12:53] <ninjabooty> booyah!
[12:53] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: chown or chmod, either one
[12:53] <ninjabooty> :P
[12:54] <Pc_Dark> whats the command to see used disc space
[12:54] <SrPilha> BlankDenim, many thx
[12:54] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: I'm pretty sure it's chmod, chown is to change who owns a file
[12:54] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: no problem, brb
[12:54] <neverblue2>  trying to both make a panel 'not able to be deleted' and I am trying to edit it more (I want to get rid of Places and System), how can I do so ?
[12:54] <ninjabooty> is there an #ubuntu-dev-amd64?
[12:54] <bulmer> Pc_Dark:  df -h
[12:54] <BlankDenim> Pc_Dark: it's like df or something, not sure
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> Pc_Dark My fave is a script  i made -->  cat bin/ShowDisks
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> df -h -x tmpfs -x devpts -x usbfs

[12:54] <SrPilha> BlankDenim, with the names I can consult the manual :)
[12:54] <SrPilha> ok by
[12:54] <SrPilha> *bye
[12:54] <BlankDenim> SrPilha: although using them is pretty straightforward, cp is pretty much the example I gave you
[12:55] <ninjabooty> you can't do anything with xorg.conf when you can't boot from the install CD
[12:56] <jmak642> ok, so i'm about to try and load feisty onto a dell latitude d620, anyone tried this?
[12:56] <Esteth> is /dev/sda the same as the old /dev/hda?
[12:56] <bulmer> OiPenguin: what chips is in that card?
[12:56] <e> esteth: yes
[12:56] <Esteth> E: thanks
[12:56] <jmak642> already i can see from the livecd that i'm gonna need to sort out the wifi driver
[12:56] <ninjabooty> screw it
[12:56] <bulmer> Esteth: you can find out by listing /dev/sda if it is mapped to /dev/hda
[12:56] <ninjabooty> I'll just use i386 version of my Core2
[12:57] <Esteth> bulmer: How would i do that?
[12:57] <bulmer> Esteth ls -la /dev/sdaa
[12:57] <bulmer> Esteth ls -la /dev/sda
[12:57] <OiPenguin> bulmer: How do I find the answer to your question?
[12:58] <Esteth> bulmer: i get "brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 2007-09-12 18:10 /dev/sda"
[12:58] <bulmer> OiPenguin: google for that model of nic card
[12:58] <shaquille> can somebody help me with a regex problem i have? I just need to know what's the regular expression equivalent of *rar as in any number of any characters ending in the rar suffix
[12:58] <bulmer> Esteth ls -la /dev/hda
[12:58] <neverblue2> shaquille, that would be it, *.rar
[12:58] <Esteth> bulmer: No such file or directory
[12:58] <bulmer> shaquille: ending is   rar$
[12:59] <bulmer> Esteth ls -la /dev/hda*
[12:59] <BernieMac> how can I check the size of my swap partition?
[12:59] <Esteth> bulmer: /dev/hda*: no such file or directory
[01:00] <bulmer> Esteth: then you dont have /dev/hda
[01:00] <Esteth> so i can safely assume that /dev/sda is what was /dev/hda pre-feisty
[01:00] <shaquille> then I don't get why that's not working, I'm trying to filter filenames within KLibido using the regular expression filter to only show files that end in .rar, but either nothing shows up or it gives me an invalid expression error
[01:00] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, system _ admin > system monitor

[01:01] <dave_mc> has anyone ever successfully installed xubuntu on an older toshiba laptop before can help me?
[01:01] <norcalscubadiver> hey all. i am having a problem writing a dvd.iso to a dvd-/+R.  i think my command is messed up, can someone who knows better than me help me out please. thanks
[01:01] <no_gatez_fan> I am on 6.06....how can I stopx
[01:01] <bruenig> dave_mc, that's pretty narrow, might be a better idea to just ask your question
[01:01] <bulmer> OiPenguin: did you find out which chip it uses?
[01:02] <Wolphie> Hi, i need help with proftpd
[01:02] <BernieMac> rafaelscj: thanks, it says that I'm using 0 of 376.5MB, does that actually mean that I have only 365.5mb in my swap partition??
[01:02] <dave_mc> ok i am unable to install xubuntu on my laptop from either the livecd or the alternate install method
[01:02] <dave_mc> how can i install xubuntu
[01:02] <BernieMac> 376.5*
[01:02] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, yes
[01:02] <[DMC] > how do you dynamically mount multiple USB disks to specific mount points? like USB drives that a unplugged a lot.
[01:02] <bruenig> norcalscubadiver, growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/whatever=dvd.iso
[01:03] <bulmer> OiPenguin: also try  lspci
[01:03] <BernieMac> rafaelscj: thats outrageously small isn't it? I did the auto install so ubuntu chose the size
[01:03] <norcalscubadiver> bruenig. thanks will try that one
[01:03] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, how much RAM do you have?
[01:03] <jonnymac> can somebody please, for the love of heaven tell me what a demuxer is
[01:03] <kyja> why is it that sipie does not work? lots of errors.
[01:04] <lnx_> what in linux is most like nero 7 ?
[01:04] <BernieMac> rafaelscj, 1 gig
[01:04] <kyja> I want my sirius
[01:04] <vader1102> dave_mc, I used to have to type on noapic noalpc noacpi acpi=off before booting a live cd or installing linux
[01:04] <bruenig> jonnymac, demulitplexer?
[01:04] <jonnymac> I've installed all the packages, in the process learnt how to use apt
[01:04] <norcalscubadiver> lnx_: K3B  i believe
[01:04] <jonnymac> and still the dvd won't work
[01:04] <OiPenguin> bulmer: No, however it looks like I've found a solution here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=11277
[01:04] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, 376,5 is more then enough
[01:04] <dave_mc> jeez vader thats basicly disabline the PC
[01:04] <bruenig> jonnymac, separating different streams and such
[01:04] <[DMC] > johnnymac, http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/pwg/html/chapter-other-oneton.html
[01:05] <jonnymac> I've installed gxine
[01:05] <tuxpower> BernieMac next to used RAM info their is info that tells you exactly how large our swap size is. i.e. "232mb used out of ..."
[01:05] <dashfiel> Does anyone know if there is a special process for starting/stopping mysql under ubuntu?  It seems to fail to stop half the time, but I don't understand why.
[01:05] <bulmer> OiPenguin: also try  lspci  this list will confirm what you think you have
[01:05] <dashfiel> I'm just using the standard /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[01:06] <OiPenguin> bulmer: what is lspci?
[01:06] <bruenig> a command
[01:06] <QWIKRNU> hi all
[01:06] <bulmer> OiPenguin: list whats detected via pci
[01:06] <OiPenguin> in terminal?
[01:06] <bulmer> OiPenguin: yes
[01:06] <JoshNur> Hi all, I'd like to save disk space on Ubuntu 7.04 and keep only my development tools. What can I do?
[01:07] <BernieMac> rafaelscj, I am using 464.4Mb out of 1002.4MB of memory and 0mb out of 376.5Mb of swap
[01:07] <bulmer> OiPenguin: if you are not sure of the command, you can   man lspci
[01:07] <OiPenguin> Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DWL-510 2.4GHz Wireless PCI Adapter (rev 20)
[01:07] <JoshNur> I removed some applications with Synaptic already
[01:08] <vader1102> isn't the swap supposed to be double the size of ram? I thought that is what I remembered
[01:08] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, you only need to have more swap if you want to use hybernate
[01:08] <P3nnywise> how do i configure my network after text install?
[01:08] <jonnymac> if it says setting up libdvdread3 and then changes to a waiting command line, does that mean it's done?
[01:08] <JoshNur> Are there any other libs I can safely remove?
[01:08] <LiquidXTC> OK I tried to change my hostname while in Ubuntu Knome and this did not go over very well... My browser would not open, nor would my administrative tasks untill I changed it back. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to change my hostname, without restarting, so that everything will still work??
[01:08] <bulmer> OiPenguin: umm..look for some more..something about network controller
[01:08] <tannerld> hmm
[01:09] <BernieMac> rafaelscj, ok thanks! I'm pretty new to linux, I've only been playing for about a week now
[01:09] <Kitche> vader1102: if you want your system to run slow yes that rule no longer applies unless you do some debugging
[01:09] <lnx_> i can get someof linux player to play video in minimode like windows media player 10 ?
[01:09] <tuxpower> BernieMac your swap size won't be an issue if you have  1 gig of RAM installed
[01:09] <vader1102> ok Kitche
[01:09] <rafaelscj> BernieMac, enjoy it :)
[01:09] <jmak642> how much hd space do i need for a reasonably functional ubuntu?
[01:09] <jmak642> 20gb enough?

[01:09] <JoshNur> jmak642: plenty!

[01:10] <JoshNur> I did a 4Gb root partition but now it's getting filled up. That's why I'd like to remove unnecessary stuff if possible
[01:10] <OiPenguin> There is no mention of network controller. Should I post the entire response (about 20 lines)?

[01:17] <WaltzingAlong> lowlux: seems you want to turn on (or off) autohinting or hinting in general
[01:17] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: sorry i am a true stupid newbie
[01:18] <DukeDave> lnx_: Yeah it is a standard package called music-applet, so you can either use synaptic or 'sudo apt-get install music-applet' in a terminal
[01:18] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, I'm guessing you installed the drivers through the add programs deal
[01:18] <HumanHeart> i installed them just by double clucking on them
[01:18] <QuiksilverKev> Yeah
[01:18] <QuiksilverKev> not 100% convinced tho
[01:18] <HumanHeart> no add and no terminal neither
[01:18] <lowlux> what or where is auto autohinting?
[01:19] <lnx_> DukeDave , i want to see the movie in this small window not the song information , its possible ?
[01:19] <WaltzingAlong> lowlux: sorry, not running gnome here

[01:20] <lowlux> i did like KDE better... when i was on suse many years ago..

[01:20] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: at sourceforge dot net
[01:20] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: yes i saw, did your search yield any results?
[01:20] <lnx_> DukeDave , i use totem but i dont want to hide the control i want to see the video in this small windows this is possible ?
[01:20] <^lego^> is there any way to start a network ubuntu install when using a dvd to boot from ?
[01:21] <P3nnywise> how do i configure my network after text install?
[01:21] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, ah... somebody else had this problem the other day... I don't know that he got helped either
[01:21] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: i downloaded them and installed them by double clicking
[01:21] <BernieMac> what is the terminal command to open the xorg.conf file?
[01:21] <lowlux> does Beryl take up a lot of system cpu?
[01:21] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: yes i saw that as well
[01:21] <QuiksilverKev> Not sure, im a real n00b to Ubuntu :)
[01:21] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: when i double click again the installating facility tells me they are well installed
[01:21] <QuiksilverKev> So far, i have no sound, no wireless lan
[01:21] <QuiksilverKev> hahaha
[01:21] <QuiksilverKev> doing well ;)
[01:22] <DukeDave> lnx_: You should be able to resize totem's window?
[01:22] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong:  but i just can't find them anywhere so i can't use them
[01:22] <DukeDave> To make is smaller
[01:22] <Flannel> ^lego^: the textmode installer should download new packages from the internet during install (if you're connected to the net)
[01:22] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: FIRST installatuion of Ubuntu

[01:22] <lowlux> i use VLC i hate totem.
[01:22] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, what are you running it on?
[01:22] <BernieMac> rafaelscj, thanks!
[01:22] <d90> I need help how to istall xubuntu on mac
[01:22] <lnx_> DukeDave , yea but i want it this way . . .
[01:22] <QuiksilverKev> Acer Aspire 5050
[01:22] <lowlux> i use VLC on windows too
[01:23] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: yes, following. somewhere in the menu should be search/find/locate, you could use that to find the files
[01:23] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, laptop, right?
[01:23] <jonnymac> I followed the help and support thing to the letter and still can't play dvd's
[01:23] <QuiksilverKev> seraph34,  yes
[01:24] <motac> hi
[01:24] <QWIKRNU> hrrrm
[01:24] <rafaelscj> why does ubuntu never use more than 80% of RAM?
[01:24] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: if you started with the .tgz next it likely extracted the source. from there you would need to compile the source to build the packages
[01:24] <QWIKRNU> i broke it good :)
[01:24] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, I'm still having troubles with my stuff too... I have sound though, but my wireless networking just doesn't cut it... doesn't really do anything actually... running on an msi laptop
[01:24] <d90> does anybody know how t install xubuntu on mac? I putted disc in to dvdrom and nothing happens
[01:24] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong:  nope, it's the .deb file
[01:24] <WaltzingAlong> rafaelscj: because the system is not being taxed beyond that?
[01:24] <jonnymac> the error message is No demuxer found - stream format not recognised.
[01:25] <antler> hehehe
[01:25] <QWIKRNU> d90: reboot when you put it in
[01:25] <BernieMac> seraph34, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37461/
[01:25] <QuiksilverKev> seraph34, i think my drivers are installed, but i cant switch on the wlan with the swich on the front of the laptop :)
[01:25] <d90> QWIKRNU: nothing happens
[01:25] <QWIKRNU> google it? :)
[01:25] <d90> no help from google
[01:25] <DukeDave> lnx_: Which way?
[01:25] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong:  retroshre_0.3.11c_kubunut_feisty.deb
[01:25] <d90> do i need to logout?
[01:26] <stephans> does anyone know of a dvd authoring program like the one all the apples ship with? So you can make movies and slide shows on DVD?
[01:26] <seraph34> QuiksilverKev, ah... can't really help you there... good luck
[01:26] <QuiksilverKev> Can i install RPM's on Ubuntu ?
[01:26] <CaBlGuY> some help me with a power managment problem I'm havin?
[01:26] <lnx_> DukeDave , like media player 10 in windows
[01:26] <QuiksilverKev> cheers seraph34
[01:26] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: alt+f2   type     retroshare                    or               retroshre
[01:26] <rafaelscj> WaltzingAlong, did that happen with your computer?
[01:26] <WaltzingAlong> stephans: called dvd slideshow
[01:26] <stephans> yes you can install rpms with alien
[01:26] <QuiksilverKev> alien... ok cheers :)
 in where?
[01:26] <rafaelscj> !alien | QuiksilverKev
[01:26] <ubotu> QuiksilverKev: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[01:27] <stephans> is there really a white space in the name
[01:27] <QuiksilverKev> Thanks :)
[01:27] <scalawag> can anyone walk me through the chmod command?
[01:27] <stephans> ?
[01:27] <WaltzingAlong> rafaelscj: i have 2 GB in this system and most anything i do can be done without using swap
[01:27] <QWIKRNU> i'm trying to mount my first hard drive... not going too well..
[01:27] <CaBlGuY> my moonitor doesn't shut down..  the screen saver just runs all the time..  and I think ubunut installed pPM for a laptop instead of a desktop...
[01:27] <QWIKRNU> mount: unknown filesystem type 'dmask=0000'
[01:27] <d90> QWIKRNU, do i need to logout? Cus there is a password on mac, i borrowed mac from friend for a few days (10-15) and i dont know pass
[01:27] <QuiksilverKev> Say i wanted to install Nero Linux, i have 2 options. RPM or DEB package ?
[01:27] <e> fn'QuiksilverKev: use .deb
[01:27] <WaltzingAlong> QuiksilverKev: if the deb is available use that
[01:27] <jrib> scalawag: take one step, "c", take another step, "h".... what do you mean?
[01:27] <d90> he wants that I install ubuntu on it
[01:27] <QuiksilverKev> Right, so is there some way to install it?
[01:28] <jonnymac> No demuxer found - stream format not recognised. Why is gxine saying that?
[01:28] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: THANKS man, i got them now
[01:28] <e> fn'QuiksilverKev: double-click it?
 it is not available in 'add remove'
[01:28] <WaltzingAlong> QuiksilverKev: is there a way to install some software that comes in a .deb? yes
[01:28] <Nilisco> Can anyone recommend a good linux mp3 tagging program, something like tag and rename?  I need to organize my mp3s
[01:28] <WaltzingAlong> stephans: what?
 and i have all the sources checked
[01:28] <QuiksilverKev> I can open it with GDebi ..
[01:28] <rafaelscj> WaltzingAlong, okay, thanks
[01:28] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: do you know why i couldn't find them with the search fiels utility?
[01:28] <DukeDave> lnx_: I don't really know what Media Player 10 looks like I'm afraid
[01:28] <e> yes that is what you want
[01:28] <WaltzingAlong> HumanHeart: no
[01:28] <lowlux> how do i start and use iptables?
[01:28] <e> that will install it
 dvd slideshow
[01:28] <CaBlGuY> so, anyone know about that??
[01:28] <QuiksilverKev> Thanks e :)
[01:29] <astro76> Nilisco, check out EasyTAG
[01:29] <jmak642> i have a hard drive that goes in my swapable bay on my laptop, can i load ubuntu on that?
[01:29] <HumanHeart> WaltzingAlong: not a problme, you already helped me a lot, thanks

[01:31] <ubotu> dark2y: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:31] <dark2y> sorry, so ... how do i reinstall my sound..
[01:31] <dark2y> :D
[01:31] <BlankDenim> lnx_: what's the question?
[01:32] <fl33tingtime> http://tinyurl.com/2gl2ky
[01:32] <dark2y> ?
[01:32] <vip3rousmango> does ubuntu have a wireless "repair" option like windows? or something similar?
[01:32] <CaBlGuY> !audio
[01:32] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
 Thank you!
[01:32] <dark2y> i get this error:
[01:32] <dark2y> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Resource busy or not available.
[01:32] <CaBlGuY> ok, 2nd time---my moonitor doesn't shut down..  the screen saver just runs all the time..  and I think ubunut installed pPM for a laptop instead of a desktop...
[01:32] <lnx_> BlankDenim , i can get minimode in totem like meeedia player 10 in windows ?
[01:32] <astro76> vip3rousmango, disabling then enabling Wireless would have the same effect
[01:33] <dark2y> i am not running any program that needs sound ..
[01:33] <vip3rousmango> astro76: i do, but it doesn't. i find when that issue comes up the only solution is a logout/login
[01:33] <CaBlGuY> anyone help me with that???
[01:33] <BlankDenim> lnx_: I'm not sure, but there are other players, not just totem. Rhythm Box, Amarok, Banshee, VLC, XMMS, etc.
[01:34] <vip3rousmango> linxeh: use XmmS
[01:34] <lowlux> will firestarter block hacker attacks?
[01:34] <CaBlGuY> lnx_:  go here----
[01:34] <CaBlGuY> !medibuntu
[01:34] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org

[01:34] <lnx_> BlankDenim , them all cant do it . ..
[01:34] <ubotu> lowlux: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[01:34] <CaBlGuY> try that
[01:34] <vip3rousmango> lnx_: er.. try Xmms, it has a mini-player that is nice, but it doesn't intergrate into the taskbar like wmp
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> lowlux  its a firewall configuration tool.. plain and simple.
[01:34] <beruic> Hi. I have installed gfxboot and gfxboot-theme-ubuntu to make my boot look nice. Now, how do i actually make it work?
[01:34] <Geoffrey2> if you need libssh2 support in Ubuntu, what's the best way to grab it, since it doesn't exist in Feistys' repos?
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> !find libssh
[01:35] <ubotu> Found: libssh-2, libssh-2-dbg, libssh-2-dev
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> libssh2 is not the same as libssh-2 ?
[01:35] <seraph34> !system
[01:35] <jonnymac> alright... the ubuntu forum says go to software properties, I don't have a software properties, I have a software sources with the same icon but when I open it nothing resembles the diagram or the tabs I need
[01:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about system - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> way tooo many similer names...
[01:35] <seraph34> !scan
[01:35] <ubotu> Scanning software: XSane, the gimp, Kooka. For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners
[01:36] <astro76> jonnymac, software properties is pre-feisty
[01:36] <astro76> jonnymac, what do you need to do?
[01:36] <osmosis> any way to check if my hd is running at  sata1.5  or sata3.0 ?
[01:36] <CaBlGuY> !nmap
[01:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nmap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:37] <jmak642> !info nmap

[01:37] <Geoffrey2> Dr_Willis, as far as I can tell, libssh-2 and libssh2 are different applications
[01:37] <jonnymac> I've been trying for over three hours to read dvd's, I've followed the help and support thing to the letter and still gxine says stream format not recognised no demuxer found,
[01:37] <seraph34> need help with wireless drivers for RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01). Running on an MSI MegaBook L715
[01:37] <astro76> jonnymac, have you tried with totem or vlc?
[01:37] <jonnymac> totem then gxine
[01:38] <lactose> jonnymac: do you have libdvdcss installed?
[01:38] <astro76> jonnymac, did you install libdvdcss2
[01:38] <beruic> Hi. I have installed gfxboot and gfxboot-theme-ubuntu to make my boot look nice. Now, how do i actually make it work?
[01:38] <jonnymac> hold on
[01:38] <kazol_> Anyone here have experience with TrueCrypt?
[01:38] <jonnymac> libdvdcss2 is installed
[01:39] <astro76> jonnymac, how about libdvdread3?
[01:39] <jonnymac> yep that was in the help and properties bit
[01:39] <jonnymac> I used apt to set it up
[01:39] <astro76> what error do you get in vlc?
[01:39] <astro76> or totem?
[01:39] <jonnymac> I haven't tried vlc
[01:40] <astro76> jonnymac, that would be good to try too
[01:40] <astro76> jonnymac, what error in totem?
[01:40] <jonnymac> Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it.
[01:40] <beruic> Hi. I have installed gfxboot and gfxboot-theme-ubuntu to make my boot look nice. Now, how do i actually make it work?
[01:40] <vip3rousmango> jonnymac: try VLC player
[01:40] <jonnymac> ok thanks
[01:41] <vip3rousmango> jonnymac: or kaffine.. both work nice with DVD's and everything else as long as you have the gstreamer plugins
[01:41] <BernieMac> jonnymac, do you have desktop effects on?
[01:41] <jonnymac> i don't think so
[01:42] <jonnymac> I only installed a few days ago
[01:42] <What_the_Deuce> Anyone else'scompiz-fusion FAIL after the last update, like, 10 mins ago?
[01:42] <BernieMac> jonnymac, ok nevermind then. My media players don't like to play videos when I have the desktop effects enabled
[01:42] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: same here..
[01:42] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, I'm not alone!!
[01:42] <swarm> so I installed ubuntu on my external HDD, and it broke my internal HDD's boot records... any advice on fixing that?
[01:43] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: nope, i find when I have the window-wavey thingy it just royally messes up full-screen play
[01:43] <gwapo> i need help installing my epson stylus cx2900 printer
[01:43] <swarm> i'm currently in ubuntu on the external HDD
[01:43] <What_the_Deuce> Am i alone? anyone elses Compiz-fusion fail after the recent updaye (10 mins ago, ish)
[01:43] <swarm> my windows partition does not work, nor does my ubuntu partition on the internal drive...
[01:43] <gwapo> i need help installing my epson stylus cx2900 printer
[01:43] <swarm> What_the_Deuce: mine works
[01:43] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, yeah, even if I just have the desktop on a cube enabled I have to really play with them to display video, audio works fine though
[01:43] <nickrud> swarm: easiest is to tell grub to install it's boot record on the external mbr, and have windows fix the internal. Then, have it boot to external if plugged in
[01:44] <vip3rousmango> swarm: thats cuz windows likes to be default.. installing ubuntu told windows to go screw itself.. and windows doesn't like that
[01:44] <swarm> nick, but I can't get to windows.
[01:44] <What_the_Deuce> Swarm: even after the update? Mine just abruptly stoped working
[01:44] <maxagaz> hi
[01:44] <swarm> ubuntu and windows played nice together on the same hard drive..
[01:44] <disclaimer> sup guys
[01:44] <nickrud> swarm: there are utilities to fix the windows mbr out on the net
[01:44] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: oh, i don't even run the cube.. im on a laptop it would kill it
[01:44] <flux__> ist
[01:44] <jonnymac> BernieMac: I didn't find # gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse in the synaptic package manager
[01:44] <swarm> any favorites, nick?
[01:45] <disclaimer> what are the available alternate kernels to try to boot with, and how do i tell ubuntu to boot them off the live cd
[01:45] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, I'm running on a laptop, it doesn't really affect anything except video play
[01:45] <disclaimer> it wont boot on a machine, and i want to try another kernel
[01:45] <gwapo> hey guys, need help here. i need to install my epson stylux cx2900. where can i get the driver?
[01:45] <vip3rousmango> disclaimer: you can use KDE, X, Gnome.. you'll need to apt-get install the other DE's and then logout/login with that new environment
[01:45] <gwapo> hey guys, need help here. i need to install my epson stylux cx2900. where can i get the driver?
[01:46] <nickrud> swarm: I don't use windows except virtualized, so no :)
[01:46] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: ahh, well my internal vid card wines when i try to put everything on
[01:46] <disclaimer> vip3rousmango, it doesnt boot.
[01:46] <maxagaz> Why my website http://<IP_ADDRESS>/modx/ is quite fast, and this http://<IP_ADDRESS>/smf/ is extremely slow ? It's on the same server!
[01:46] <disclaimer> i need to try another kernel
[01:46] <BernieMac> jonnymac, are you searching just ubuntu supported apps or all apps?
[01:46] <vip3rousmango> disclaimer: you can't even get to login screen?
[01:46] <nickrud> swarm: iirc there's a recovery mode on the windows boot disk that works as well
[01:46] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, yeah, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to run all of them then
[01:47] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: yeah no. that = death
[01:47] <swarm> nick, i only have the restore cd's
[01:47] <MeRodent> nickrud, yeah. last time I had to fixMBR it took 15 minutes for the winXP disk to get to recovery mode :(
[01:47] <nickrud> MeRodent: :)
[01:48] <lowlux> how do i make ubuntu auto update?
[01:48] <MeRodent> nickrud, and that was after finding that Vista didn't seem to have a recovery mode. :(
[01:48] <gwapo> hey guys, need help here. i need to install my epson stylux cx2900. where can i get the driver? i use feisty fawn
[01:48] <nickrud> lowlux: what do you mean by auto update
[01:48] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, lol, I think I would avoid that at all costs if I were you. What are you using?
[01:49] <nickrud> MeRodent: hmm, I think I better go look for that 'fixmbr' thing on the net, then. Just in case I meet someone who still boots it
[01:49] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: HP Pavilion dv1000 with an Intel G915 Graphics accelorator.. nothing special
[01:49] <lowlux> will beryl slow down my 1.6 GZ computer?
[01:49] <vip3rousmango> lowlux: oh yes it will
[01:49] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, I'm just on a dell latitude d520, only a year old and my batt life is down to around 30 min
[01:50] <lowlux> o.o
[01:50] <nickrud> lowlux: probably not enough to matter to you
[01:50] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: wack. well hp and ubuntu havn't been the nicest of friends.. but they are getting along =b
[01:51] <seraph34> need help with wireless drivers for RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01). Running on an MSI MegaBook L715
[01:51] <vip3rousmango> gwapo: if the printer is USB, ubuntu should reconize it as an Epson.. and give you a list to pick from.. worked for my Brother MC420
[01:52] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, I haven't really had any problems. I can't boot if I leave my wireless is enabled when I shut down, other than that its been perfect since install
[01:53] <DreamWolf_> Evnin (that is in my nick of the woods)
[01:53] <gwapo> vip3rousmango, yes ubuntu did recognize but cx2900 isn't on the model list
[01:53] <lowlux> where would i get that system monitor that shows up on your desktop like some kind of wallpaper?
[01:53] <vip3rousmango> BernieMac: wow thats odd.. i think that might solve some issues for myself as well =b
[01:53] <DreamWolf_> i just encountered an strange prob while installing an dual boot ubuntu 7.04 with winXp pro
[01:54] <jmak642> should i defrag my ntfs hard drive before i let the livecd resize the partition so i can install ubuntu?
[01:54] <gwapo> vip3rousmango, yes ubuntu did recognize but cx2900 isn't on the model list. i tried using drivers for cx 1500 and cx 3000 but it doesn't work well
[01:54] <Kitche> lowlux: conky maybe
[01:54] <DreamWolf_> ubuntu din't recognize my onboard nic. ( reaktek rtl8111
[01:54] <vip3rousmango> gwapo: windows drivers don't work well in ubuntu even if u try to install thru wine, all i can suggest are checking the forums/google
[01:55] <BernieMac> vip3rousmango, having problems with wireless? seems ubuntu does not like wireless most of the time, mine works fine once I'm booted
[01:55] <DreamWolf_> I got it working by turning on Lan boot in bios and Wan-on lan enabled in WinXp
[01:56] <P3nnywise> How do i configure my network?
[01:56] <DreamWolf_> never had this prob with other nic

[02:00] <vip3rousmango> DarkED: ha, i wish.. i've been trying for so long. you'll understand once you play around with a couple of things..
[02:00] <detra> anyone knows how to get a usb soundcard to work ?
[02:00] <RustyJames> does someome use Kaffeine  and DVBT?
[02:00] <vip3rousmango> Dark
[02:00] <DarkED> vip3rousmango, ok, thanks
[02:00] <BernieMac> jonnymac, do you have a player that is working for you?
[02:00] <vip3rousmango> DarkED: the only other thing is maybe try converting it to another file format and burn it?
[02:00] <jonnymac> for dvd's, now vlc
[02:01] <jonnymac> avi, divx &c I was using movieplayer
[02:01] <vip3rousmango> RustyJames: I use Kaffeine
[02:01] <BernieMac> yeah, you should be able to remove them if you want. Its real easy to get them again if you want them
[02:01] <Talaman72> wine?
[02:01] <DARKGuy> Hey guys, is there a program to "draw "on a window for quick notes (similar to a billboard, or compiz-fusion's fire paint plugin) ?
[02:02] <RustyJames> do you know if you can change the path where kaffeine saves the dvbt streams?
[02:02] <wolferine> looking for customizing the Panels, what file is it stored in ?
[02:02] <Talaman72> wine isn't an IM program

[02:02] <Talaman72> that's a bit silly
[02:03] <DarkED> vip3rousmango> DarkED: the only other thing is maybe try converting it to another file format and burn it? <-- i dont have a burner
[02:03] <Fink> i am trying to dual boot: i need windows, for (easy) compatability with most (commercial) games - but when i go to re-size my ntfs partition with gpartSomethingOrAnother, it just stops...i leave it for hours and still no avail...last few times i tried i ended up re-installing windows for reasons mensioned before...
[02:03] <vip3rousmango> DarkED: yikes, ok well then. guess burning's out of the question =b
[02:03] <detra> usb sound cards ??? How ???
[02:04] <DARKGuy> Hey guys, is there a program to "draw "on a window for quick notes (similar to a billboard, or compiz-fusion's fire paint plugin) ?
[02:05] <detra> I doubt that out of 1068 users on this channel that no one knows how to setup usb soundcards ... So there must be somebody who knows ...
[02:05] <vip3rousmango> yeha, but not all 1068 users are talking
[02:05] <detra> and somebody who can help me ...
[02:05] <jmak642> what sound card?  did you look on the forum?
[02:05] <PriceChild> DARKGuy, compiz has an "annotate" plugin which is more for that
[02:05] <jmak642> !forum
[02:05] <ubotu> The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org
[02:05] <DARKGuy> and USB sound cards are VERY rare where i live
[02:05] <DARKGuy> expensive too.

[02:06] <rafaelscj> lowlux, xkill?
[02:06] <trix> hi, I'm moving away to school tomorrow morning and I managed to somehow cause my computer not to recognize my wireless card.  I would just reinstall because I don't have much time but the torrent for the disc image won't be done downloading by tomorrow morning.  Is there anyone here could determine how it is that modprobe ipw2200 returned a FATAL ERROR ?
[02:06] <detra> ubotu, and what did I do ?
[02:06] <DARKGuy> PriceChild: oh well..... guess a screenshot will do. Thanks :)
[02:06] <PriceChild> DarkED, i bet there's something.... somewhere :)
[02:06] <BernieMac> detra you are talking to a bot

[02:07] <detra> hmm
[02:07] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[02:07] <gerro> how do I get it back?
[02:07] <seraph34> detra, there is also a whole ton of resources on the internet... so there must be someplace that knows...
[02:07] <vip3rousmango> gerro: its an option, you just clicked to show menu-bar off

[02:07] <cduby1> Toshiba Satellite laptop running 7.04.......wondering if and how I can capture a video signal from an external source via the s-video port on the back.....?
[02:07] <gerro> vip3rousmango: I can't find an option to bring it back is there some weird key combo I can press or what?
[02:07] <DarkED> PriceChild, yeah, apparently i can use bchunk to convert it to iso but i dont want to convert it
[02:07] <vip3rousmango> gerro: try hitting ctrl+m to toggle it on and off
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> cduby1 you sure thats a svideo IN? not an Out?
[02:08] <cduby1> Dr_Willis, honestly not sure......
[02:08] <detra> seraph34, I looked around and I didn't feel any help from it ... So I figured that someone in here might be able to help me ...
[02:08] <gerro> vip3rousmango: wow that was lame, something I would expect from a gnome app
[02:08] <PriceChild> DarkED, whoops that wasn't to you :P
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> cduby1 i cant say that ive ever seen a svideo IN on a laptop.

[02:08] <cduby1> Dr_Willis, ok
[02:08] <cduby1> Dr_Willis, pretty much nothing you can do there, huh?
[02:08] <rafaelscj> Fink, if I were you I would use PartitionMagic
[02:09] <cduby1> Dr_Willis, as far as video capture....

[02:10] <norty> i just installed ubuntu, how do i change the screen resolution to 1280x1024, the guides i have followed aren't working
[02:10] <CaBlGuY> !version
[02:10] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[02:10] <rafaelscj> Fink, yes, how many partitions?
[02:11] <Fink> i only need 3 - windows ,linux, and swap
[02:11] <jmak642> norty, change the available resolutions in /etc/X11/xorg.conf  make sure you make a backup of that file first so you can fix it if you do something wrong
[02:11] <Fink> but i only needa get a way to resize the linux
[02:11] <trix> no, not the car
[02:11] <rafaelscj> Fink, so, do you have a primary partition, right?
[02:11] <jmak642> norty, make sure you add the desired resolution to all color depth settings
[02:12] <rafaelscj> Fink, you have*
[02:12] <norty> jmak642, i changed all the lines that said mode: "1024x768" ... and added "1280x1024" but that didn't work
[02:12] <trix> am I in the room?
[02:12] <Fink> rafaelscj: yes, its windows, though
[02:12] <jmak642> norty, what video board do you have?
[02:12] <seraph34> trix, uh... well then
[02:12] <norty> nvidia geforce 6800 gt
[02:12] <trix> I'm a dude
[02:12] <lowlux> should i use an anti virus? is there spyware? ?
[02:12] <rafaelscj> Fink, did you already use defrag?

[02:14] <cduby1> heh
[02:14] <gerro> vip3rousmango: ah kopete doesn't have accept buddy option but gaim does :(
[02:14] <jmak642> is there an ubuntu channel not dedicated to support that people just talk in?

[02:15] <jmak642> Flannel, thanks
[02:15] <vip3rousmango> gerro: i'm sure there is.. try under the AIM profile config
[02:16] <rafaelscj> Fink, PartitionMagic should tell you
[02:16] <gerro> vip3rousmango: no I mean kopete when you use yahoo and people add you to their list you can't accept them, therefor you can't talk to them
[02:16] <Fink> i just did z righclick>properties
[02:16] <gerro> vip3rousmango have to use gaim for that, but it appears kopete doesn't work at all even though it has more webcam and audio support than gaim would ever aim for
[02:16] <Fink> *rightclick

[02:16] <lowlux> what are some walls to keep hackers out and to hide myself?
[02:16] <lowlux> ways
[02:17] <lowlux> not walls?
[02:17] <Loopies> hello!  How do you start a program from the command line in Ubuntu?
[02:17] <Fink> lowlux: google?
[02:17] <Loopies> I need Root access to make it work, and I can't figure out how to start it.  I tried "./" but I don't think that was right.
[02:18] <Fink> Loopies: sudo?
[02:18] <rafaelscj> lowlux, don't run unsecured servers
[02:18] <cduby1> Loopies, gksudo program_name
[02:18] <lowlux> servers?
[02:18] <Loopies> fink, well, that's what I was planning on doing, but I don't know what to type after that
[02:18] <Loopies> cduby1, okay, thank you.  I will try it.
[02:19] <Fink> Loopies: if you wanted to run the command ./someprog as root then you would do sudo ./someprog
[02:19] <vip3rousmango> gerro: odd.. everything works for me.. i can add/remove people from any service fine.
[02:19] <Loopies> cduby1, well, it opened, but it said there were tons of errors.
[02:19] <Loopies> fink, and that will start a program?
[02:19] <Loopies> fink: I think i might have misused that command
[02:19] <wolferine> looking for customizing the Panels, what file is it stored in ?
[02:19] <Fink> Loopies: most of the time...
[02:19] <pitecantropus> what`s a Troll?http://www.geekosophical.net/?p=156
[02:20] <Fink> Loopies: it should aslong as you have the command right
[02:20] <lowlux> does linux store crap... like info... pictures.. thumbtails.. .... even after you deleted it? windows use that crap and its hell to crear  out..
[02:20] <wolferine> lowlux, its called the recycle bin
[02:21] <pitecantropus> as far as know, YES, it keeps after delete
[02:21] <CaBlGuY> lowlux:  and also, the cash cleaner runs itself after so long..
[02:21] <bruenig> thumbnails derived as part of the file manager's display like when you go into a directory of pictures and there are a bunch of thumbnails of the pictures, those are stored so that they can be displayed in ~/.thumbnails
[02:21] <bruenig> that is all
[02:22] <OrTigaS> hi! now i finally installed ubuntu in my external usb hd. its just only 6.06. now i have this problrem. i can't connect to internet tru LAN, but i can see all windows network machine. any idea?
[02:22] <OrTigaS> it happen also when i use Live CD
[02:22] <Loopies> cduby1, can you take a look at this output, please:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37463/
[02:22] <OrTigaS> i used in a laptop
[02:23] <norty> ok i installed the nvidia drivers, now my resolution is ridiculously small 640xwhatever and i have no options to turn it higher, what do i do next???
[02:23] <Loopies> cduby1, It DOES start, but with all of those errors.
[02:23] <lhot> hi again, how do i use alien? this source file is being overly stupid
[02:23] <Flannel> lhot: source file?
[02:23] <Talaman72> update on the myspaceIM: found website from ubuntu-unleashed with script to setup pidgin
[02:23] <jrib> lowlux: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150483 it's being worked on it seems
[02:23] <Fink> which would be the better partition manager, the one htat came with ubuntu on the livecd install cd thing... or my partlogic cd
[02:24] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, can't you access web pages?
[02:25] <OrTigaS> rafaelscj no
[02:25] <lhot> not to important, but whats the command to run alien?
[02:25] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, did you check your DNS's IP?
[02:25] <scalawag> what are 7 and 1 (regarding permissions...711)
[02:25] <Flannel> lhot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto  But, source file?
[02:25] <lhot> ive used it before, but cant remeber it
[02:25] <lhot> thanks
[02:25] <lowlux> i can not hear sound on youtube?
[02:25] <OrTigaS> but there's no problem here in our network
[02:26] <lowlux> with head phones
[02:26] <Fink> lowlux: install the beta flashplayer
[02:26] <Flannel> scalawag: rwx, 4 = r, 2 = w, 1 = x (7 = 4+2=1)
[02:26] <lhot> they didnt have debs, so i got source, and its just not working
[02:26] <lhot> so
[02:26] <lhot> thanks
[02:26] <cellofellow> scalawag: 7 is everything, read+write+execute, 1 would be just execute which I think is a non-usable mode.
[02:26] <OrTigaS> its open, anyone connect to aln its gonna have internet
[02:26] <OrTigaS> aln=lan*
[02:26] <Flannel> lhot: If you have the source, you don't use alien.  Alien is for rpms, you'd use checkinstall
[02:26] <Flannel> !checkinstall | lhot
[02:26] <ubotu> lhot: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[02:26] <scalawag> thank you
[02:27] <gerro> I'm using a webcam with spca561 driver, how do I turn up resolution and get rid of stuck pixels?
[02:27] <rafaelscj> gerro, what app?
[02:27] <trix> so bruenig, I have that file for ipw2200 ... what next?
[02:27] <OrTigaS> if i use the lan cable to other windows machine it works, but when i use ubuntu it does't
[02:28] <gerro> rafaelscj: kopete but it seems to be a default thing, when I use it on amsn same sort of look
[02:28] <BernieMac> norty, try gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[02:28] <norty> ok i installed the nvidia drivers, now my resolution is ridiculously small 640xwhatever and i have no options to turn it higher, what do i do next???
[02:29] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, are you using DHCP?

[02:30] <rafaelscj> gerro, I am using the same driver, and the quality is bad
[02:30] <kbrooks> what is something smaller and leaner than xchat yet still functional and gui based?
[02:30] <gerro> rafaelscj: so no idea how to turn up resolution with spca based webcams?

[02:31] <trix> bruenig if you don't know how to solve the problem you wouldn't be the first
[02:32] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, right-click on network-mamager's icon, then select "...information..."
[02:32] <bruenig> trix, compile ipw2200.c
[02:32] <Pc_Dark> can you minimize rhythmbox to the tray, so it's not in the task bar at all?
[02:32] <bruenig> trix, is there no Makefile?
[02:32] <trix> yes, there is a makefile
[02:32] <trix> can i just type make?
[02:32] <bruenig> trix, yeah
[02:32] <trix> and then Makefile install or something
[02:32] <rafaelscj> gerro, I used some apps like XawTV but...
[02:33] <bruenig> trix, just type the make and be sure that works
[02:33] <wolferine> Pc_Dark, just lazy ?
[02:33] <kbrooks> trix: no, make install
[02:33] <hhp21> Can someone help me with my updater? It's been broken for weeks now and nobody seems to know why.. :(
[02:33] <rafaelscj> gerro, the same quality
[02:33] <bruenig> modules are usually copied over, or at least in build scripts they are
[02:33] <Pc_Dark> wolferine, i want it out of my site, so I can work
[02:33] <norty> ok i installed the nvidia drivers, now my resolution is ridiculously small 640xwhatever and i have no options to turn it higher, what do i do next???
[02:33] <Pelo> hhp21, did you play in the sources.list file ?
[02:33] <hhp21> pelo: no, what's that?
[02:34] <wolferine> Pc_Dark, did you actually look in the application before asking the question ?
[02:34] <Pelo> hhp21, could have been the cause of the update breakage
[02:34] <trix> when I type make, I get a wall of errors...  ..."incompatible pointer type"
[02:34] <Pelo> hhp21, when you say the updater has been broken, can you be a littl emore detailed ?
[02:34] <Pc_Dark> wolferine, kinda
[02:34] <Pc_Dark> I don't see an option though, in plain site
[02:34] <hhp21> Pelo: When it runs, it'll either run through the sources list, or it might not.. but it always ends up telling me "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem."

[02:34] <wolferine> Pc_Dark, View maybe, as it relates to how you 'view' it ?
[02:35] <hhp21> Pelo: and when I do run that command, it freezes the computer.
[02:35] <Pc_Dark> Nope, no option there
[02:35] <bruenig> trix, those are probably not errors but are warnings of deprecated code
[02:35] <wolferine> its not rocket science :)
[02:35] <Pelo> hhp21, boot the recovery mode and run taht command
[02:35] <wolferine> really, nothing at all in view?
[02:35] <hhp21> Pelo: how do you do that?
[02:35] <speps> hey guys ... how about speedfan control???I try with pwmconfig ... but it says : /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed .Any idea?
[02:35] <wolferine> hmm, I guess you have the version <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:36] <Pc_Dark> Meh, close works as long as I don't 'quit'
[02:36] <BernieMac> when I run sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf it opens the file but it is currently blank. It used to be filled. What should I do to retrieve the file?
[02:36] <bruenig> BernieMac, X11 not x11
[02:36] <astro76> BernieMac, it's X11, not x11
[02:37] <hhp21> Pelo: I think I got it :) Thanks for your help

[02:37] <trix> here she is, in all her beauty:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37464/
[02:37] <wolferine> :)
[02:37] <astro76> BernieMac, use tab completion on the command line, it helps
[02:37] <Pelo> hhp21, ok make a note of that dpkg --configure -a  command,  (you'll probably have to run it as sudo) , note the exact spelling and syntax to make sure, then   reboot,  when you get the grub menu select the recovery mode usualy gthe second option from the top , if you don'T get a grub menu when you boot,  type the esc key just after the bios screen  that should get you the menu
[02:37] <trix> do I need to make this in a different directory?
[02:37] <Sajes> How do I restore grub, if I reinstall Windows?
[02:37] <Pelo> damit
[02:37] <compilerwriter> BernieMac Linux is case sensitive unlike that virus from Redmond.
[02:38] <coreymon77> BernieMac: linux is case sensitive
[02:38] <seraph34> lolwow... thanks a lot guys! I couldn't get it to work either...

[02:38] <BernieMac> thanks, works nicely now

[02:38] <Pc_Dark> Windows is not a bad OS
[02:38] <Pc_Dark> It's very useful, and has a purpose
[02:38] <nickrud> Pelo: that seems just perfect for an autoreplace :)
[02:38] <Pc_Dark> So does Ubuntu.
[02:38] <WaltzingAlong> cough
[02:38] <wolferine> Pc_Dark, sorry, looks like there isnt something to do that
[02:38] <stefg> !offtopic
[02:38] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:38] <WaltzingAlong> had
[02:38] <wolferine> my bad :(
[02:38] <compilerwriter> pelo Did I mention Windows?
[02:38] <coreymon77> Pc_Dark: yes it is, we just prefer not to talk about it
[02:39] <progek> Can anyone give me some advice as to what could be wrong? Limewire nor Frostwire fails to connect. I am not behind a router so it's not a router firewall issue. I'm running Feisty Fawn with the last update. I have a laptop with the same configuration and Frostwire runs fine. I'm running Java JRE 6 (suns implementation)
[02:39] <BernieMac> I knew that too...newbie slip up I suppose. Thanks guys!!
[02:39] <Pelo> compilerwriter, I don'T know of many os based in redmond,  but then I'm not all that knowledgable
[02:39] <Ronminu> hi
[02:39] <nickrud> Pc_Dark: install the  music-applet , it puts rhythmbox in the notification area
[02:40] <wolferine> or is it rhythmbox-applet ?
[02:40] <Pelo> progek, no idea , sorry it's always connected straight off for me,  check the frostwire site, they have a forum you can search in there
[02:40] <nickrud> used to be, but thats history
[02:40] <compilerwriter> Pelo I didn't even make a comment about OS either.
[02:41] <jrib> Pc_Dark: you can just click on the icon in the notification area and it will minimize to it
[02:41] <astro76> trix, the real problem is the error in line 5 of your paste, not sure what that is though
[02:41] <Puppy_> My speakers are kind of quiet. Is there a way to make sure all the speaker features in Ubuntu are maxed?
[02:41] <astro76> trix, I mean where the file comes from
[02:41] <jmak642> i asked earlier if 20 gb was enough space for ubuntu, what about 15? or 10?
[02:41] <sidewalk> can someone help me with an url, on installing beryl+xgl+kiba-dock ?
[02:41] <BernieMac> to edit something out of the xorg.conf file do I just put a # in front of the line?
[02:41] <compilerwriter> Pelo Now if someone read what I wrote and through some Freudian slip concluded I was referring to Windows then well they may need to examine their own thoughts on the matter.
[02:41] <Pelo> Puppy_,   terminal  alsamixer
[02:41] <sidewalk> running 7.04
[02:41] <progek> Pelo thanks, I tried that including the ubuntu forums as well. I found some threads which sounded like my problem however the solutions/if any - didn't work for me. This all started after reinstalling Ubuntu
[02:41] <Pelo> compilerwriter,  just drop it
[02:41] <maynards-girl> i tried installing vmWare using the add/remove and it didn't work, so now I'm following the directions on sourceforge.  my problem is when I go to run the install it detects a previously install version and abort. any suggestions?
[02:41] <Puppy_> Pelo: I will check that out. thanks
[02:41] <Sajes> !grub > Sajes
[02:42] <trix> I have a 2.6.20-15 and a 2.6.20-16, but only the 15 shows up in grub, if that is relevant in any way
[02:42] <jmak642> i will have lots of packages installed
[02:42] <Pelo> Puppy_,  you might also try replugging the speakers and checking the volume contrl on the speakers themselves if this is a desktop
[02:42] <nickrud> maynards-girl: delete /etc/vmware
[02:42] <maynards-girl> nickrud, ok i'll do that. thanks
[02:43] <Puppy_> Pelo: the speakers do not have volume on them.
[02:43] <norty> how the FUCK do i change resolutions in ubuntu, all the god damn guides suck!
[02:43] <nickrud> maynards-girl: had the same problem yesterday :)
[02:43] <astro76> !language | norty
[02:43] <ubotu> norty: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:43] <Pelo> maynards-girl, go in synaptic and remove completely the previous versions ,  check in the status display to make sure there aren'T any auto remove packages left
[02:43] <nickrud> norty: nvidia:  nvidia-settings
[02:43] <jrib> !fixres > norty (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:43] <cellofellow> norty: and to answer your question, you may have to edit the xorg.conf file
[02:44] <trix> is there some way I can re-install linux without redownloading a new disk image?
[02:44] <astro76> trix, that's not right, you should be selecting the newer one in grub
[02:44] <jrib> norty: system -> preferences -> screen resolution first, then what ubotu said
[02:44] <norty> i edited it
[02:44] <norty> it didn't work
[02:44] <norty> i tried what ubotu said it didn't work
[02:44] <maynards-girl> thanks Pelo, i did that right before you posted.  I'm not blond but I think i a blond moment :/
[02:44] <Pelo> trix,  don't you have your old one ?
[02:44] <progek> has anyone here ever had issues connecting to networks with frostwire or limewire
[02:44] <trix> the newer one I stopped using because I got an error with xorg... os I went back to the 15...  for some reason the 16 disappeared
[02:44] <jrib> norty: he says a lot of things, you tried them all?  What exactly happened when you tried?
[02:44] <wolferine> norty, not our fault you cannot follow instructions :)
[02:44] <trix> No, I don't have it.
[02:45] <norty> jrib i tried editing the xconf file
[02:45] <trix> I'm about a third of the way through the download but I'm only getting like 10k a sec
[02:45] <Pelo> trix, what video card od you have ?
[02:45] <norty> and installing the nvidia drivers
[02:45] <trix> nvidia Geforce 6800
[02:45] <gerro> nickrud: nvidia makes them so check their forum
[02:45] <jmak642> my usage on my desktop is like 10.5 gb without my profile.  i better go with 20 plus page at least
[02:45] <trix> but as I saw I can't select 16... it's not in the grub menu
[02:45] <trix> say
[02:45] <Pelo> trix,  you'll need the alternate install cd , no way around it ,  unless you downloaded the dvd which as the text based installer on it
[02:46] <nickrud> gerro: not me, no, I fight thru ati's
[02:46] <trix> darn that's not even the one I'm downloading.
[02:46] <BernieMac> is there a command to restart from the terminal?
[02:46] <wolferine> I like how ppl curse, get all the attention, and actually get assistance
[02:46] <nickrud> BernieMac: sudo reboot

[02:47] <trix> I have internet access... wired
[02:47] <trix> I just don't have wireless.  there's no way to just re install with that?
[02:47] <rafaelscj> how do I to use lyrics plugin on XmmS?
[02:47] <wolferine> jrib, but seriously, most ppl that curse, !!!! or CAPS gets help immediately

[02:48] <Pelo> rafaelscj, check the faq on the xmms website
[02:48] <maynards-girl> it's installing now....
[02:48] <trix> uh... I was responding to you
[02:48] <julius> Does anyone have an application to split a mp3 with a cue file?
[02:48] <rafaelscj> Pelo, okay
[02:49] <dudeicles> folks I'm having a weird problem. seems my nicklist here in Konversation as well as lists in other programs is showing weird.
[02:49] <trix> oh, the alt cd is downloading super fast
[02:49] <Puppy_> Pelo: ha ha. i rechecked, and the speakers were not properly plugged in.
[02:49] <Pelo> trix, not to a question I asked, I got what I wanted about 4 comments ago , I don'T know why you were telling me about your connection
[02:49] <Pelo> Puppy_, always start with the easy stuff ,  the hard stuff can drive you nuts
[02:49] <trix> trix,  you'll need the alternate install cd , no way around it ,
[02:49] <trix>           unless you downloaded the dvd which as the text based installer on
[02:49] <trix>           it
[02:49] <trix> trix,  you'll need the alternate install cd , no way around it ,
[02:49] <trix>           unless you downloaded the dvd which as the text based installer on

[02:49] <bruenig> hmmm
[02:49] <Puppy_> thanks, bye
[02:49] <trix> whoops sorry about that
[02:50] <wolferine> im sure you are :)
[02:50] <nickrud> nicely formatted, though
[02:50] <wolferine> hehe
[02:50] <trix> garggg
[02:50] <Pelo> trix when you talk to someone  put their nick in the line, it hightlites for them and makes it easier to follow
[02:50] <vader1102> night poeple, time for this one to go into work
[02:50] <wolferine> work! I just got off work!
[02:51] <norty> here is my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.com/m536a6151
[02:51] <trix> I used ubuntu ultimate 1.4 gamers dvd so is this ubuntu alternate disc image not going to work for me?
[02:51] <norty> i added "1280x1024" after the modes but it didn't save when i restarted
[02:51] <norty> what's wrong?
[02:51] <dudeicles> does anyone think they can help me. I'll paste the image link so you can see what i'm talking about.
[02:51] <wolferine> norty sudo
[02:51] <benanzo> how do I create a large file for network throughput testing?
[02:51] <Pelo> trix, I think we are getting a bit confused here what are you trying to acheive ?  a clean install ?
[02:51] <WaltzingAlong> norty: how id you open the file to edit it?
[02:51] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: go for it
[02:51] <Mishu> I log to my server shell remotely using putty but when i do ls it shows most of content in blue color which is nearly invisible i want to change the color, how can i do so?
[02:52] <Pelo> benanzo,  use gnome baker to create a dvd iso of a bunch of files
[02:52] <norty> what do you mean sudo
[02:52] <trix> I just want to make it so that my computer recognizes my wireless card.  it did yesterday.  I screwed something up and I have no idea what I did wrong or how to fix it.
[02:52] <trix> it seems like such a simple thing but I'm losted.
[02:52] <trix> lost
[02:52] <trix> wow
[02:52] <trix> I just wrote losted
[02:52] <dudeicles> WaltzingAlong: thank you. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8441470@N02/1383922668/
[02:52] <wolferine> Mishu, thats something with putty
[02:52] <trix> argggg
[02:52] <wolferine> !enter
[02:52] <astro76> trix, maybe that's your problem, ubuntu ultimate isn't supported here, it uses automatix which really isn't supported here because it causes problems
[02:52] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:52] <maynards-girl> Pelo, nickrud and the rest of the channel: thanks! I got it working. Gigantic group hug!
[02:52] <benanzo> Pelo: thanks
[02:52] <nickrud> Mishu: you'd be better off asking a crowd that's using putty, like windows
[02:52] <trix> no I caused the problem.
[02:52] <Mishu> Hmm
[02:52] <astro76> trix, you should use real ubuntu
[02:52] <Pelo> trix,  ok  stop using the enterkey for punctuation please
[02:52] <trix> everything was cool until I tried to patch the wireless
[02:52] <trix> so that I could use the monitor function
[02:52] <bobgill> how can I join .wmv files? ie., join 2 or more .wmv videos together to make one.. joining file2.wmv to end of file1.wmv, etc.
[02:53] <sizzam>  when i play WMV files in VLC, the video plays in the main window, but it also plays in a second window called "Xvideo output". is there a way to prevent playing in both windows?
[02:53] <trix> I was trying to follow a tutorial and it went horribly wrong.
[02:53] <nickrud> trix: try doing sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image<whatever> , that should reset you to the original module
[02:53] <Pelo> trix, ok so you don,t need to download any cd or dvd or anything linek that atm,  you just need to get the wireless working
[02:53] <wolferine> sizzam, does it play the movie in each window ?
[02:53] <trix> right right
[02:53] <sizzam> wolferine:  yes
[02:53] <wolferine> sizzam, how are you opening the file ?
[02:54] <dudeicles> WaltzingAlong: Here's one of my nicklist on Konversation- http://www.flickr.com/photos/8441470@N02/1383007467/in/photostream/
[02:54] <astro76> sizzam, did you happen to mess around in the settings?
[02:54] <sizzam> wolferine:  clicking the link from an embeded video on a webpage,  using the mediaplayerconnectivity extension in firefox
[02:54] <juwor> hi every one
[02:54] <sizzam> astro76:  using the default settings right now
[02:54] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: got kde on there? systemsettings / appearance / shade sorted column in lists, checked or not?
[02:54] <wolferine> sizzam, huh ?
[02:54] <OrTigaS> rafaelscj:  i didn't "network-managers" icon
[02:54] <dudeicles> i'll check
[02:54] <wolferine> !hi | juwor
[02:54] <ubotu> juwor: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:54] <OrTigaS> i can't see icon there
[02:54] <nickrud> sizzam: has that thing started working right? (I had nothing but trouble with it)
[02:55] <OrTigaS> i tried wireless its working
[02:55] <simplechat> hey
[02:55] <juwor> i had install my "lamp" on my debian but i dont have the /var/www folder
[02:55] <juwor> why ?
[02:55] <Pelo> juwor, make one
[02:55] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, it's near the clock
[02:55] <disclaimer> so, can anyone tell me how to choose an alternate kernel at the livecd start screen?
[02:55] <simplechat> i'm installing ubuntu server on a spare computer, and its crashing on install (installing lamp server, it simply shat its failed)
[02:55] <nickrud> juwor: if you have apache2 installed, you'll have that folder, it gets made during it's installation
[02:55] <Flannel> juwor: You ought to.  But, this isn't debian, you'll want to ask in #debian, they'll know for sure.
[02:55] <OrTigaS> oh
[02:55] <OrTigaS> ok
[02:55] <dudeicles> WaltzingAlong: I did that and it's still showing the same. should I reboot or something?
[02:55] <Pelo> disclaimer, alternate kernel ?
[02:56] <disclaimer> yea
[02:56] <juwor> yes i had apache 2
[02:56] <juwor> ok thanks Flannel
[02:56] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: have you changed the color scheme in kde as well?
[02:56] <Pelo> simplechat, do the cd integrity check , and try the cd in another computer
[02:56] <dudeicles> a few times.
[02:56] <Pelo> disclaimer, what do you mean alternate kernel ?
[02:56] <dudeicles> when I tried it again, it didn't fix it.
[02:56] <disclaimer> as in, i have a machine that doesn't boot *nix at all, and I want to see if mabee i could try a different kernel
[02:56] <OrTigaS> the network connection icon?
[02:56] <jmak642> so how well does this resize utility in the ubuntu installer handle ntfs?
[02:56] <simplechat> ok., i'll restart it then
[02:57] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, yes
[02:57] <nickrud> jmak642: for some people, it works great ...
[02:57] <OrTigaS> no information there
[02:57] <OrTigaS> i used 6.06
[02:57] <OrTigaS> only properties
[02:57] <disclaimer> i know slackware allows to choose from a crapload of kernels built for different stuff, IDE, SCSI, other stuff
[02:57] <simplechat> Pelo, the on cd integrity check?
[02:57] <BernieMac> jmak642, it works great if you can get it to run. Winblows had an error somewhere in my drive, I could only get gpart to partition
[02:57] <dudeicles> weirdest thing is that the nicklist in #Kubuntu is all messed up, but the nicklist here is fine.
[02:57] <dudeicles> LOL
[02:57] <jmak642> nickrud, so i should create a nice blank space on the drive some other way?
[02:57] <amr> what is ext4 and how it's beter than ext3
[02:57] <Pelo> disclaimer, not sure you can do that from a live cd,   in fact I'm pretty sure you can,T , and I don'T think you can do it from any of the ubuntu install cd alternate or dvd , mind hyou alternate and dvd can let you boot command line
[02:57] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: ;)
[02:57] <dudeicles> and all other channels after that
[02:57] <Pelo> simplechat,  yes from the boot menu
[02:58] <disclaimer> ohok then
[02:58] <disclaimer> D:
[02:58] <WaltzingAlong> amr: a different number does not mean better ;)
[02:58] <rafaelscj> OrTigaS, :(
[02:58] <dudeicles> but when I open a dialog to upload a file and stuff it does it again
[02:58] <disclaimer> looks like i am stuck with windows on that box then
[02:58] <trix> Pelo: sorry about the <enter key> punctuation.  I'm all ears if you have any advice.  bruenig said ipw2200 was built into the kernel... and yet if I type modprobe ipw2200 it gives a FATAL ERROR
[02:58] <nickrud> jmak642: I got burned, could have been pebkac but I normally just backup and repartition as needed
[02:58] <Pelo> disclaimer, try the alternate install cd
[02:58] <jmak642> BernieMac, i am taking the time to defrag and chkdsk before i go trying anything
[02:58] <disclaimer> oh
[02:58] <WaltzingAlong> dudeicles: so for more or less all kde apps (or kde dialogs), right?
[02:58] <disclaimer> kk
[02:58] <wolferine> looking for customizing the Panels, what file is it stored in ?
[02:58] <OrTigaS> rafaelscj:  is it possible to block the mack add to prevent from using it for internet?
[02:58] <sizzam> wolferine:  it happens if i open the file from my desktop
[02:58] <Skyfalcon866> why does ext3 reserve 5% of the hard disk space
[02:58] <dudeicles> WaltzingAlong: correct
