[09:42] <reverseblade> Agrajag, could be FireStarter
[09:42] <trinkolade> square, there was once a plugin for gaim but it isn't maintained anymore
[09:42] <Aggrav8d> reverseblade - i check how?
[09:42] <reverseblade> Agrajag, check out for a process called firestarter, or check your services
[09:42] <nilleso> Sp4rky, redirect cron jobs to /dev/null 2>&1
[09:43] <reverseblade> Agrajag, pgrep firestarter, or ps -ef |grep firestarter
[09:43] <Rprp>
[09:43] <square> firefox best we brower?
[09:43] <Sp4rKy> nilleso: and so mail won't be sent ?
[09:43] <nolimitsoya> square, thats a matter or prefernce
[09:43] <reverseblade> Agrajag, there is a command line utility for managment of services
[09:43] <nolimitsoya> *+e
[09:43] <nilleso> firestarter isn't a firewall... it's a frontend for iptables
[09:43] <Onore_e_Gloria> reverseblade,  for the boot sequence
[09:43] <Onore_e_Gloria> i dont want the splash
[09:43] <Onore_e_Gloria> only the text
[09:43] <Aggrav8d> reverseblade - droyer 12307 7456 0 12:43 pts/0  00:00:00 grep firestarter
[09:43] <nolimitsoya> nilleso, which in turn can act as a firewall, hence...
[09:43] <square> adobe flash player 9 keeps on breaking down each time i try to quit youtube.com, can anyone explain what is going on there?
[09:43] <reverseblade> square, yes, konqueror, safari are also good, but IE is a no no
[09:44] <Ziekke> I'm going to try the Alternate CD, if that fails i'm going to find a different distribution
[09:44] <bruenig> Onore_e_Gloria, go int /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:44] <idefix> drivers for windows never work for linux, right?
[09:44] <reverseblade> Agrajag, no thats your own command line
[09:44] <nolimitsoya> idefix, right
[09:44] <Aggrav8d> so then it isn't running.
[09:44] <bruenig> Onore_e_Gloria, remove the quiet splash options
[09:44] <zzzerotime> pike_, I get access denied
[09:44] <square> ie = big mess up lol
[09:44] <reverseblade> Aggrav8d, try ps -ef | grep firestarter
[09:44] <nilleso> you can kill firestarter and your FW is still running'
[09:44] <zzzerotime> even using the sudo command
[09:44] <pike_> zzzerotime: with sudo ?
[09:44] <aeromix> does someone knows why I am not allowed to modify /etc/resolv.conf? sudo echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" > /etc/resolv.conf  - bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied
[09:44] <pike_> zzzerotime: ..
[09:44] <zzzerotime> yes
[09:44] <Reyaht> is there some site dedicated to linux drivers? cuz I can't get my wireless cards to work

[09:45] <reverseblade> Aggrav8d, hmm, then you should study your services. Sorry I never installed server version. I am using a desktop version for a server :)
[09:45] <pike_> zzzerotime: umm try sudo -s  then that command
[09:45] <reverseblade> aeromix, and I want to be a Jedi
[09:46] <bruenig> aeromix, it has to do with the >, the sudo is only being applied to the first part
[09:46] <bruenig> aeromix, do sudo -s, then run the command without sudo
[09:46] <square> aeromix, what desktop envirnoment are you using?
[09:46] <zzzerotime> pike_, cannot execute binary command
[09:46] <aeromix> square: gnome..why?

[09:50] <boness> When I try apt-get apache2 it does not work, it says that it depends on other package that will not be installed. Shoudn't it resolve all dependencies?
[09:51] <enry183> there is printer with scanner compatible with ubuntu?
[09:51] <square> aeromix: sorry, i can only modify, i'm only just getting used to linux atm
[09:51] <kitche> boness: it does if you have the right repos enabled correctly
[09:51] <reverseblade> boness, sudo apt-get install apache ?
[09:51] <nolimitsoya> enry183, check out linuxprinting.org

[09:52] <nolimitsoya> boness, not all of them no

[09:54] <ubotu> Aggrav8d: 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).
[09:54] <reverseblade> hmm
[09:54] <malt> does anyone know the command to zip or tar a directory?
[09:54] <buzzed> easiest way to install flash player 9 on 6.10?
[09:54] <edgarin> Hi to all people I have a big problem with ubuntu :(
[09:55] <nolimitsoya> malt, 'tar' and 'gzip'
[09:55] <Al3k5> hiiii . 1, yay i'm getting a job as a network admin . 2. anyone know if there's a way to get the gnome desktop to display animated gif's ?
[09:55] <kitche> reverseblade: firestarter/guarddogg just amkes it easier for people to configure iptables
[09:55] <reverseblade> buzzed, easiest way is to install it from synaptic
[09:55] <christiane> malt: tar -z
[09:55] <malt> nolimitsoya: example?
[09:55] <malt> oh
[09:55] <malt> so like
[09:55] <nolimitsoya> malt, use -c <dir> to create an archive
[09:55] <malt> tar -z /home/ ?
[09:55] <buzzed> thx
[09:55] <lupine_85> malt: tar -cjf <filename> stuff
[09:55] <bruenig> malt, tar czf whatever for gzip
[09:55] <reverseblade> kitche, oh I c, but desktop edition is not that restrictive I guess
[09:55] <bruenig> malikeye|work, or what lupine_85 said for bunzip
[09:55] <lupine_85> that'll put it in .bz2 format which is the best compression realy
[09:55] <lupine_85> really*
[09:55] <christiane> malt: tar -czf the_archive.tgz /home
[09:56] <nolimitsoya> malt, 'tar -czf /home' most likely. kool in the manpages for a fulllistof options you might want to pass :)
[09:56] <reverseblade> lupine_85, and a lot slower
[09:56] <lupine_85> reverseblade: for some files
[09:56] <bruenig> lupine_85, yeah there really is no reason to bunzip unless you are obsessed with disk space
[09:56] <JackInTheGreen> buzzed pm
[09:56] <lupine_85> on binaries and videos, it's the only algorithm that gives a noticable decrease that I've found
[09:57] <lupine_85> and when you're uploading 10GB disc images... yeah :p
[09:57] <bruenig> lupine_85, but it takes soooo long to extract
[09:57] <square> is anyone using kubuntu?
[09:57] <kitche> lupine_85: well the best compression that I found is lzma but it's not widely used
[09:57] <reverseblade> square, I used it earlier
[09:57] <square> i used it for about amonth, but it crashed lol
[09:57] <WizCraker> whats a good snmp deamon to use?

[09:59] <britton> If I use apt-get to install packages; how do I automatically install the required packages and the recommended packages as well?
[09:59] <britton> or does it already do it?
[09:59] <bruenig> britton, it will install the requires packages, the recommened packages it will not
[09:59] <WizCraker> reverseblade:   I was usieng net-snmp but couldn't get it to work nicely with cisco mibs.
[10:00] <jorge_> quien me recomienda un canal en amiga net
[10:00] <reverseblade> WizCraker, sorry no experience
[10:00] <bruenig> britton, if you want to install the recommended packages, just highlight them and copy and paste them after sudo apt-get install
[10:00] <[g2] > can I use a local desktop as a repository for .debs ?
[10:00] <britton> bruenig: that sounds like a good idea thanks
[10:01] <WizCraker> reverseblade: okay, well thanks anyways :)
[10:01] <bruenig> britton, but beware, the recommened packages have there own recommended packages, which then have their own recommended packages...

[10:02] <lupine_85> britton: or use aptitude :p
[10:02] <britton> ahh ok bruenig.  is it ok if I don't do the recommended packages as well then?
[10:02] <faLUCE> Hi. is there an unofficial repo with mplayer1.x ?
[10:02] <[g2] > rpedro thx
[10:02] <bruenig> britton, I never do the recommended packages
[10:02] <britton> yeah I have aptitude but I don't know how to use the interface
[10:03] <kitche> faLUCE: it's in edgy-backports might be in dapper-backports also
[10:04] <faLUCE> kitche: many thanks. which is the exact url of the repo?
[10:04] <zzzerotime> pike_,
[10:04] <zzzerotime> pike_, it was as simple as sudo rm -rf /etc/vmware/*
[10:04] <rpedro> [g2] : there is also apt-cacher and apt-mirror , never used them myself though.
[10:04] <zzzerotime> :)
[10:06] <xmoogle> when 6.06 is said to be "Long Term Support", what does that support mean exactly?
[10:06] <kitche> !backport|faLUCE

[10:43] <Hukt> Hello

[10:43] <buzzed> and copied it to ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[10:43] <HaMF> is there a way to start soundjuicer more than once?
[10:43] <Hukt> Can someone help me real quick?
[10:43] <bayle_> Bepo have you added it?
[10:43] <Rug> Hukt: ask
[10:43] <Nontitle> ok when you go to install java, there should be an option called manual install, you can follow what it says
[10:44] <Nontitle> that's what i did, but i forget exactly how to do it though
[10:44] <chronographer> Anyone here good with printer setup?
[10:44] <apokryphos> !anyone
[10:44] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:44] <Hukt> ok, I downloaded ubuntu 6.10 and burned it to a CD. Then when I restarted, I selected start ubuntu...when it all loaded (after a series of few small graphical glitches) it loaded the desktop, but neither my keyboard or mouse was being detected.
[10:44] <Hukt> why?
[10:45] <chronographer> ok.   I need help seting up a lexmark z65
[10:45] <Bepo> bayle_; k hold on
[10:45] <chronographer> i have got drivers from the lex website
[10:45] <chronographer> converted them to deb using alien
[10:45] <bayle_> now try apt-get install realplayer or something similar...
[10:45] <chronographer> installed them by double clicking deb files and apt installs them
[10:46] <chronographer> now restarted CUPS
[10:46] <Rug> Hukt: unusual hardware perhaps.  I'd try a different Live CD (like knoppix) and see if you still have a problem (if you do, then is because of your hardware)
[10:46] <chronographer> try to add printer, cant see z65 drivers........
[10:46] <Hukt> no, ive tried knoppix. It works perfectly fine.
[10:46] <Shocka311> Hey, can someone tell me how to view media files I download off the web with ubuntu? they are all formated for winamp or win media player.
[10:46] <chronographer> anyone got advice to help me with my predicament?

[10:47] <Hukt> chronographer, try automatrix. It might have the drivers needed to detect your printer.
[10:47] <Rug> chronographer: Have you check with linuxprinting.org
[10:47] <chronographer> oh really?
[10:47] <Rug> Hukt: no
[10:47] <chronographer> i will just check automatix
[10:47] <Rug> Automatix only has ATi & Nvidia Drivers
[10:47] <neutrinomass> !automatix
[10:47] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[10:47] <Hukt> Oh.
[10:47] <Hukt> nvm.
[10:48] <Bepo> bayle_: Package realplayer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[10:48] <Bepo> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[10:48] <Bepo> is only available from another source
[10:48] <Bepo> E: Package realplayer has no installation candidate

[10:48] <Shocka311> I'll try those pages. will they have links to download the right decoders and software?
[10:48] <Flannel> Shocka311: yeah, and instructions
[10:48] <Rug> Hukt: a glitch with the live CD perhaps
[10:48] <Jussi01> Nontitle:I tried that coping didnt work
[10:48] <Bepo> mc44: k wont do it again
[10:48] <mc44> Bepo: no problem
[10:49] <Nontitle> oh
[10:49] <bayle_> Bepo, i don't know why it happends, but the "secret" is to find a goog repo
[10:49] <Jussi01> Ive downloaded the bin file from sun - what do i do with it?
[10:49] <chronographer> yes automatix is crap!  no printer drivers.
[10:49] <h0ndaracer2> hello everyone
[10:49] <bayle_> look for it
[10:49] <Hukt> Rug: I even did the option to check the CD for errors or whatever, and it did it, and said the cd was fine.
[10:49] <Nontitle> i'm not sure what to do, then.
[10:49] <Nontitle> did you use sudo?
[10:49] <snook353> what software do i need to move 1gig via usb from a windows98 to ubuntu/kubuntu?
[10:49] <Rug> Hukt: the DISK was fine, but the software may still have bugs
[10:49] <kitche> Bepo: install helixplayer it's just realplayer pretty much should be in the repos realplayer si in multiverse since it's a commerical program
[10:49] <Shocka311> Is it gonna be in computer code or english? my problem is I don't know any of this computer language so I'm having a real hard time with ubuntu and finding anything I understand.
[10:49] <buchan> Anyone know of some xmms2 packages that work with 6.10?
[10:50] <ubuntuuser> ubuntu 6.06, how can i change the boot screen
[10:50] <Hukt> Rug: So how will I know what to do?
[10:50] <mc44> snook353: what do you mean via usb?
[10:50] <Rug> snook353: just copy it
[10:50] <fluvvell> I just did an update on my wifes laptop and the fonts on her desktop icons just increased a heap.  Anyone know where to edit the font size for desktop icons?
[10:50] <Flannel> snook353: just copy it onto the USB, and then copy it onto the computer
[10:50] <chronographer> lol flannel

[10:50] <chronographer> oops
[10:50] <bayle_> Bepo add this to your repos: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu edgy-commercial main, it must run
[10:50] <Alfa|WERK> wrong channel chronographer
[10:51] <Nontitle> if you mean usb as a usb wireless adapter, i have no clue
[10:51] <Bepo> bayle_: ah thanks... after the repository addition i went to synaptic to do a refresh and it appeared!  Can you install ubuntu from Windows?
[10:51] <mralphabet> buchan: sudo apt-get install xmms doesn't work?

[10:52] <francois> hey guys, my speed to my usb key sometimes drops to 500kb/s, anyone know why ? or how to fix it ?
[10:52] <Flannel> Hukt: you might try the alternate CD (boots you straight into an installer, no need for a liveCD).  However, you can indeed install from windows, see !install
[10:52] <Jussi01> so what do i do with the java . bin file i downloaded?
[10:52] <bayle_> Bepo i think it runs on FF, but try it...

[10:55] <bayle_> ah Bepo, sorry for my english
[10:55] <Bepo> usual usage to i think
[10:55] <strabes> sutabi: yes
[10:55] <remfarkas> missing zlib package
[10:55] <francois> sutabi, yes, change all the repos list from dapper to edgy, and then do dist-upgrade
[10:55] <lupine_85> just s/dapper/edgy/ in /etc/apt/sources.list and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:56] <Bepo> bayle_: nothign wrong with your english
[10:56] <lupine_85> then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop (just to be safe) and reboot
[10:56] <bayle_> Bepo btw, try looking in firefox conf files
[10:56] <Shocka311> Anyone know anywhere I can go to learn what all this code and stuff means so I can understand and work ubuntu?  I like it alot better than windows so far cause I have alot more options but all the help sites talk about alot of code and lingo I don't understand.
[10:56] <Flannel> lupine_85 should all the desktop metapackage first.
[10:56] <remfarkas> mralphabet, apt-get cannot find zlib package
[10:57] <lupine_85> Flannel: before and after is best
[10:57] <francois> Shocka311: download the ebook linux for dummies, its really good for starters
[10:57] <paulc_> sutabi: yes, read the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[10:57] <lupine_85> and of course, ubuntu-desktop if you're running ubuntu rather than kubuntu :D
[10:57] <mralphabet> buchan: try gxmms2
[10:57] <Shocka311> where do I get that?
[10:57] <snook353> what software do i need to use a male/male usb cable and transfer data from a windows machine to a ubuntu/kubuntu machine?
[10:58] <Rug> snook353: won't work

[10:58] <lupine_85> snook353: didn't get get me in #kubuntu ?
[10:58] <francois> Shocka311: you can download the torrent at www.torrentspy.com
[10:58] <lupine_85> paulc_: it's not my fault the upgrade path is broken
[10:58] <Rug> snook353: use a network cross-over cable
[10:58] <snook353> i don't know what terms to search for to find info, rug.  ok
[10:58] <mralphabet> buchan: http://lwn.net/Articles/211343/ references gxmms2 as being sync'd in from debian
[10:58] <Rug> OOdles faster
[10:58] <buchan> mralphabet, well I need the development packages for xmms2. I tried the repos for dapper and debian unstable but they turned out to be a no go.
[10:58] <lupine_85> Rug: a USB male<->male adaptor works as a null modem cable
[10:58] <Shocka311> sweet, I'll try that, thanks
[10:58] <lupine_85> so you can do a ppp link over it with no problems
[10:59] <Rug> lupine_85: really?  shit sorry.  My mistake
[10:59] <lupine_85> np :)
[10:59] <bayle_> Bepo, i cannot help you, ask it to others...
[10:59] <lupine_85> 480Mbps is pretty fast, as well :p
[10:59] <mralphabet> buchan: that is probably not in repos at all ;(
[10:59] <francois> hey guys, my speed to my usb key sometimes drops to 500kb/s, anyone know why ? or how to fix it ?
[10:59] <lupine_85> (not that you actually get that!)
[10:59] <Bepo> bayle_: thanks though1
[11:00] <Bepo> hey guys how do I make realplayer my default video player... right now VLC is trying to play my videos
[11:00] <Bepo> in FF that is
[11:00] <reverseblade> francois, may be it is not usb 2.0
[11:00] <lupine_85> paulc_: so how would you recommend that a non-graphical install update to edgy?
[11:00] <mralphabet> buchan: xmms2 is not in repos at all that I can see, perhaps in feisty
[11:00] <reverseblade> Bepo, real player is for real player files only
[11:01] <Rug> lupine_85: remember rewiring printer cables to make them "laplink" just to network a couple of PCs'   Hell now you can make a null-modem out of anything!  =)
[11:01] <lupine_85> since ubuntu is supposedly also ideal for the server :p
[11:01] <lupine_85> Rug: yeah :)
[11:01] <lupine_85> happy memories
[11:01] <bayle_> lupine_85 non graphig mode is best to upgrade
[11:01] <buchan> mralphabet, unfortunately not. They have repos here but nothing for 6.10 http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/index.php/Download_XMMS2 Is there any way to create Edgy packages from the dapper ones? I'm not regularly a Ubuntu/Debian user, but its all I have access to over the holidays.
[11:01] <lupine_85> bayle_: yeah I know
[11:01] <lupine_85> buchan: apt-get source -b <package>
[11:01] <buchan> Sorry for not being familiar with how things work :)
[11:01] <paulc_> lupine_85: see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[11:01] <lupine_85> it usually works but not always
[11:01] <lupine_85> paulc_: I did
[11:01] <francois> reverseblade: its brand new, i can't see it being that, because sometimes it runs at 40megs a sec, and then slows down to 500kb/s
[11:01] <reverseblade> buchan, never let that happen again
[11:02] <reverseblade> buchan, :)
[11:02] <buchan> :P
[11:02] <reverseblade> francois, prolly a hardware issue
[11:02] <lupine_85> I'm just curious as to why that should be considered a bad way to upgrade a desktop but a good way to upgrade a server
[11:02] <lupine_85> given that servers are mission-critical but desktops are not...
[11:02] <mralphabet> buchan: sorry, I don't have an answer for you, it's not in repos, you may need to install it yourself
[11:02] <bayle_> francois 40 megs are a lot, sure of it?
[11:02] <Rug> lupine_85: in college I had a 30-foot parallel "laplink" cable that i strung between 2 rooms in my dorm, just so we could play some games & share modem access to local BBS's
[11:02] <reverseblade> lupine_85, linux is the world of workarounds
[11:02] <Bepo> reverseblade: oh i thought they could play WMV's too?
[11:03] <lupine_85> reverseblade: oh yes :)
[11:03] <MystaMax> Hello, I'm looking at a shell script and it has date +%m%d%Y in it, and I was wondering if this is a system variable? and what other variables are there??
[11:03] <lupine_85> Rug: back in my day we used wet string :p
[11:03] <reverseblade> Bepo, not sure. but what you want is pointless. VLC is just fine
[11:03] <mralphabet> MystaMax: man date
[11:03] <MystaMax> mralphabet, thx
[11:03] <francois> bayle_: it jumps all over the place, it goes really fast, and suddenly stalls, and then picks up again at 90megs, but i know its not going that fast, but thats what it says, so i'm weired out by it
[11:03] <reverseblade> MystaMax, echo $MY_VARIABLE
[11:03] <mzanfardino> question: what file should I modify if I want an application to load when my ubuntu server boots?  Currently I have a reference in my .bashrc, but this requires that I log in, and I need the server to launch my app at book (note: no desktop)
[11:04] <mralphabet> !initrd
[11:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about initrd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:04] <Hukt> ok, i can't find the install cd option to download
[11:04] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: /etc/rc.local
[11:04] <francois> MystaMax: there are many, such as your $USER and %HOME and %PATH
[11:04] <MystaMax> reverseblade, I tried that and it just returned to the CLI, with no output
[11:04] <Hukt> all i see is the cd to try out 6.10
[11:04] <Bepo> reverseblade: k well can you tell me why VLC doesnt show a navigation bar? so i can pause rewind and search through vids?
[11:04] <Rug> mzanfardino: many ways:  cron, Admin -> Startup
[11:04] <MystaMax> francois, yes thats what i wanted to know
[11:04] <MystaMax> francois, where can i find all these
[11:05] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: I modified this file, but there is refernce in the file that states you need to enable execution, and I don't know where I might do this.
[11:05] <francois> MystaMax: you can set your own variables too, you know,
[11:05] <reverseblade> MystaMax, then that is not a pre-defined env-var
[11:05] <francois> MystaMax: gimme a sec, i'll see if i can find it for you
[11:05] <reverseblade> Bepo, dunno I use, totem, mplayer and gxine
[11:05] <kitche> Hukt: what are you trying to do?
[11:05] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
[11:05] <mzanfardino> # bits.
[11:05] <MystaMax> francois, thanks.
[11:05] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: that's from rc.local
[11:05] <green_earz> mzanfardino: the script needs to be in /etc/init.d   check out > http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28
[11:06] <Bepo> reverseblade: can gxine play wmvs?
[11:06] <Rug> mzanfardino: sudo chmod +x file
[11:06] <reverseblade> Bepo, yes but only if you load w32codecs
[11:06] <mralphabet> MystaMax: http://www.seren.net/documentation/unix%20utilities/Linux_Cheat_Sheet.htm
[11:07] <Hukt> Kitche: I'm trying to try ubuntu from the cd, but it isnt detecting my keyboard/mouse when it loads up.
[11:07] <Hukt> So some of the others suggest I get the install CD
[11:07] <Hukt> but i cant find where to download that.
[11:07] <mzanfardino> Rug: ls -l shows /etc/rc.local is +r (-rwxr-xr-x actually)
[11:07] <lupine_85> !alternate
[11:07] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[11:07] <Bepo> reverseblade: ah and... sorry but how do i do that :?
[11:07] <reverseblade> Hukt, ubuntu.com
[11:07] <kitche> Hukt: the desktop-cd is the install cd
[11:07] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: then it's enabled
[11:07] <kitche> Hukt: unless you want the alternate one
[11:07] <lupine_85> no worries
[11:07] <mralphabet> remfarkas: zlib1g - compression library - runtime OR zlibc - Uncompressing C Library

[11:08] <mralphabet> remfarkas: sudo apt-get install zlibc
[11:08] <Hukt> Kitche: Oh, well how do I directly download then? Do I have to boot up or...do i install from windows?
[11:08] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: except it's clearly not executing... nm... reading http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28
[11:08] <remfarkas> i have these, still not good
[11:08] <Hukt> Kitche: Directly INSTALL***
[11:08] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: do you have the shebang (#!) ?
[11:08] <reverseblade> remfarkas, whats up buddy
[11:08] <Shocka311> Hey, I couldn't find that link that francois gave me and he left, Can anyone tell me where I can go to learn all this computer code and lingo that I need to understand Linux software and Ubuntu?
[11:08] <kitche> Hukt: you want the alternate for that
[11:08] <lupine_85> ^ Hukt: that's the alternate CD ^
[11:09] <lupine_85> live cd--
[11:09] <remfarkas> i'm tryin to compile a program but this doof zlib is missing
[11:09] <reverseblade> Shocka311, that's a 100 000 pages encyclopedia where do you want to start ?
[11:09] <lupine_85> reverseblade: and the rest...
[11:09] <kitche> Shocka311: oreilly has an excantly basic command page or ubotu has a link to basic commands also
[11:09] <reverseblade> remfarkas, try zlib-dev
[11:10] <reverseblade> remfarkas, compilation always requires dev packages , dont forget
[11:10] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: as in #!/bin/sh (first line)?  Or something else?
[11:10] <remfarkas> kk, i'll try to remember!! thx :)
[11:10] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: that's the one#
[11:10] <Shocka311> Will this teach a dummy what all this code stuff means?
[11:10] <CarlFK> join #ubuntu-bugs
[11:10] <iCod> how would I go about uninstalling flash 9 and installing 7?
[11:11] <reverseblade> Shocka311, what specifically want to learn about ?
[11:11] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: I've added two lines that look like this:
[11:11] <Valmarko> Shocka311, phazeddl.com. type ubuntu and you will find at least two great books
[11:11] <kitche> Shocka311: what kind of code since code means knowing a programming language
[11:11] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: ". /opt/fgs/fgs start"
[11:11] <reverseblade> iCod, how did you installed flash 9
[11:11] <CarlFK> join #ubuntu-bug
[11:11] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: why the . ?
[11:11] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: "/opt/fgs/setenv.sh
[11:11] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: but in reverse order
[11:11] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: not sure.  was in my .bashrc that way
[11:12] <lupine_85> adding the . makes it a relative path rather than an absolute path
[11:12] <lupine_85> usually you don't want that
[11:12] <Juhaz> y
[11:12] <iCod> reverseblade, downloaded flash, and coppied .so
[11:12] <animefanatic> Who would i talk to about installation problems of ubuntu. I have a number of them
[11:12] <remfarkas> zlib-dev was it, thx, reverseblade
[11:12] <CarlFK> join doh!
[11:12] <kalikiana> Does anyone know where to find two-way dictionaries as text files?
[11:12] <reverseblade> iCod, ok, now download flash 7 and copy it again, overrite the existing file and restart firefox
[11:13] <Shocka311> Well, I'm new to linux systems and ubuntu and whenever I go to the help sites or try to find information it uses a bunch of computer talk and words that I don't understant so I want to learn what it is talking about so I can learn to use ubuntu
[11:13] <iCod> reverseblade, ok, I fell stupid...
[11:14] <HentaiSushi> how do i get WINE
[11:14] <kitche> Shocka311: you can get a general linux book for that
[11:14] <zspada15> !wine | HentaiSushi
[11:14] <ubotu> HentaiSushi: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:14] <animefanatic> umm does ubuntu support ext3 file system, cause i get an error when i use that
[11:14] <Condiment> Hi
[11:14] <tannerld> can anyone help me with gobby?
[11:14] <reverseblade> Shocka311, the way to learn is step by step. Note that everyone was beginner. First you should have a problem.  Thats how you begin learning linux.
[11:14] <zspada15> animefanatic, yes it does, whats the error?
[11:14] <Shocka311> where can I get that?
[11:14] <voidmage> Can anyone in here help me with lirc?
[11:14] <Condiment> ok
[11:14] <animefanatic> well when I try to install it on that file system it doesn't let me
[11:15] <francois> how would i go about reformating my usb key ?
[11:15] <animefanatic> i can get the exact error if you want
[11:15] <zspada15> animefanatic, what is the error?
[11:15] <lupine_85> francois: mkfs
[11:15] <zspada15> animefanatic, yes please
[11:15] <Shocka311> thats what i'm doin so far but many times I don't understand the answeres to my questions.
[11:15] <animefanatic> hang on  a sec
[11:15] <alex-weej> does anyone know how to get EDID info from a monitor
[11:15] <alex-weej> ?
[11:15] <francois> lupine_85: simply mkfs /media/usbdisk/ ?
[11:15] <lupine_85>  /probably/ mkfs.vfat /dev/<device-file-of-usb-key>
[11:15] <MystaMax> thanks mralphabet
[11:15] <Shocka311> I'm used to windows and its alot easier but I like ubuntu better so far
[11:15] <reverseblade> Shocka311, then ask about the specif parts that you didn't understand again. You WILL get an answer
[11:15] <lupine_85> francois: you need to specify the filesyssyem type and the /device/ file
[11:15] <Shocka311> I just don't understand it
[11:16] <lupine_85> you should also make sure it's not mounted while you do so
[11:16] <kitche> Shocka311: you sorta have to learn the shell then you will understand Linux a lot more
[11:16] <reverseblade> Shocka311, you have to know what exactly you do dont understand
[11:16] <mralphabet> !lirc | voidmage
[11:16] <ubotu> lirc: Linux Infra-red Remote Control support. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.0-5ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 308 kB, installed size 1544 kB
[11:16] <reverseblade> dont
[11:16] <Shocka311> Whats the shell and how do I learn it?
[11:16] <lupine_85> note that mkfs doesn't do a secure wipe, either - so recovery is trivial. Use shred or wipe for secure cleaning
[11:16] <mralphabet> voidmage: heh, that wasn't a lot of info
[11:16] <voidmage> yeah
[11:16] <reverseblade> Shocka311, shell is the terminal console, that you type things
[11:16] <cafuego_> Shocka311: open a terminal, type 'ls' and hit return. Hurray, you've done shell.
[11:16] <kitche> Shocka311: you know when you ctrl+alt+f1 that is the shell that black screen that says login
[11:16] <akant2> anyone here know anything about software raid in linux?
[11:17] <HentaiSushi> how do i add a repository?
[11:17] <reverseblade> HentaiSushi, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:17] <Shocka311> How do I open a terminal?
[11:17] <lupine_85> reverseblade: gksudo... :)
[11:17] <lupine_85> or gksu
[11:17] <lupine_85> Shocka311: run gnome-terminal, konsole or xterm
[11:18] <jmcsteve> HI all, I have a question regarding Ubuntu hardware recognition:
[11:18] <Shocka311> And how do I learn to use the shell?
[11:18] <reverseblade> Shocka311, press ALT+F2 then type gnome-terminal <enter>
[11:18] <lupine_85> learning to use... either get a book or "just play"
[11:18] <drach> Shocka311: try find something here: http://www.tldp.org/guides.html
[11:18] <bimberi> !cli
[11:18] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[11:18] <francois> lupine_85: what file system are usb keys ?
[11:18] <lupine_85> note that the latter will probably result in your trashing your install at least a few times :p
[11:18] <jmcsteve> If I install ubuntu on a PC and then move this HDD to another PC, will ubuntu reconfigure the new hardware based on the current PC?
[11:18] <francois> lupine_85: i can't find it
[11:18] <mc44> francois: fat usually
[11:18] <reverseblade> Shocka311, that question is very general. You should ask specific questions about shell. E.g   "how do I run a program from shell"
[11:18] <msubu> HentaiSushi: graphically you can go to System>Administration>Synaptic.    Click Settings>Repositories>Third Party then add the deb http:... lines
[11:18] <lupine_85> francois: it depends. Usually vfat to start with
[11:19] <drach> francois: fat16, fat32
[11:19] <zylche> c.run; run.c; run.c
[11:19] <Shocka311> ok how do I run a program from shell?
[11:19] <reverseblade> Shocka311, you have to digest, first, why do we need shell
[11:19] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: I've tested things a few different ways, and I can say conclusively that adding "/opt/fgs/setenv.sh" followed by "fgs start" in rc.local do not get executed at startup.
[11:19] <Syco54645> can someone please provide me a link with info on how to get gnome to edit remote files via gnome-vfs
[11:19] <reverseblade> Shocka311, you just type the name of the program that you want to run
[11:19] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: are the scripts in question executable ?
[11:19] <stephan21> how do i put fluxbox in the init
[11:19] <Shocka311> This is the kind of stuff i'm trying to learn
[11:19] <Syco54645> gedit rather, not gnome
[11:19] <reverseblade> Shocka311, e.g type "ls" (without quotes).
[11:20] <lupine_85> Shocka311: the most useful feature of the shell - by far - is tab completion. start typing a command and press the tab key
[11:20] <Shocka311> K i have the terminal window open
[11:20] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: not sure how to answer that.  I can add those two lines to my .bashrc and they execute when I log in.
[11:20] <jmcsteve> If I install ubuntu on a PC and then move this HDD to another PC, will ubuntu reconfigure the new hardware based on the current PC?
[11:20] <lupine_85> it'll show you all the commands that /might/ be what you're looking for
[11:20] <ir2> ok, i have a question, i have a fedora core 6 install running on an old computer, that is basically just a NAS system, but the YUM installation broke, and i want to switch over to Ubuntu Server (stable debian, with quick lamp)
[11:20] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: are they +x ?
[11:20] <reverseblade> Shocka311, type something and see what happens
[11:20] <lupine_85> reverseblade: lol
[11:20] <lupine_85> careful.... :p
[11:20] <reverseblade> lupine_85, yeah but you know :)
[11:20] <scribebox> anyway, how would i go about moving my LINUX SOFTWARE RAID over to the debian install?
[11:21] <tannerld> can anyone help me with gobby? I have a Howl warning. :\
[11:21] <drach> jmcsteve: imho usually yes
[11:21] <kitche> jmcsteve: it won't reconfigure since it doesn't have to it's not like windows the kernel in ubuntu is set up to run on any hardware that the kernel supports
[11:21] <Corbeaux> suppose he types something like rm -rf *
[11:21] <Corbeaux> ?
[11:21] <scribebox> the two Raid drives are mouned in /storage..
[11:21] <lupine_85> Shocka311: there's also #bash (or ##bash)
[11:21] <Shocka311> Ls gave me some examples but I typed "ubuntu and it said command not found
[11:21] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: yes
[11:21] <buchan> Is it possible to get python2.3 installed on Edgy?
[11:21] <stephan21> how do i put fluxbox in the init
[11:21] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: weird. Works here.
[11:21] <pos69sum> hey
[11:21] <reverseblade> Shocka311, yes because there is not such a command or program called ubuntu
[11:21] <stephan21> anyone know how i can add fluxbox to the gdm startup
[11:22] <lupine_85> greetings, citrus fruit :p
[11:22] <Shocka311> so this window is to run programs ect?
[11:22] <pos69sum> i just installed dapper - my fonts in the terminal are all flickery - anyone seen this?
[11:22] <Shocka311> what els can I do from here
[11:22] <lupine_85> stephan21: it should be in the sessions tab
[11:22] <lupine_85> if not, look in /usr/share/xsessions and add it
[11:22] <scribebox> gah
[11:22] <scribebox> anyone wanna help me :)?
[11:22] <lupine_85> Shocka311: you can do "everything".
[11:22] <reverseblade> Shocka311, yes that is one way of it. We usually use console when we need extra power. This is the main difference between windows and linux. Linux console is powerful and complex
[11:22] <stephan21> lupine_85, i compiled the package myself and it didnt put it in there
[11:23] <lupine_85> stephan21: then you'lll have to write your own
[11:23] <francois> lupine_85: i cant seem to do this : mkfs -t vfat /media/usbdisk/ it says it cannot open the media
[11:23] <animefanatic> Alright here is my exact error when i  try to install ubuntu on a ext3 partition: The ext3 file system creation in partition #2 of SCSI5 (0,0,0) (sdc) failed.
[11:23] <lupine_85> look at your current xsession .desktop fies for examples
[11:23] <reverseblade> Shocka311, usually, you dont use console for general stuff. But if you cant to it with mouse, then console is your friend
[11:23] <lupine_85> francois: you need to specify the /device file/
[11:23] <lupine_85> in /dev somewhere
[11:23] <Shocka311> so if I download a program, for example "wine emulator" i can access this terminal and run it from here?
[11:23] <francois> ah
[11:23] <lupine_85> make SURE you've got the right one
[11:23] <kcinna> hey all
[11:23] <Corbeaux> Shocka311, console is like DOS on lots of steroids
[11:23] <lupine_85> and unmount the usb stick before you start :p
[11:23] <reverseblade> Shocka311, absolutely yes
[11:24] <jmcsteve> so it's perfectly possible to install Ubuntu on a HDD, make a Disk Image and MBR image and then dump that image on other PC's HDD and everything will just work?
[11:24] <kcinna> im having trouble playing flac filed in amarok, has anyone else had this problem before?
[11:24] <stephan21> where
[11:24] <lupine_85> jmcsteve: dd is your friend
[11:24] <kcinna> i searched around in the forums but couldnt find anything to fix it
[11:24] <jmcsteve> yes I know dd
[11:24] <Shocka311> That helps a ton. everyon ehas been telling me about terminal but I could never get a clear answer on how to open it.
[11:24] <lupine_85> it'll usually work, unless you do something daft like dd the image onto a too-small HD...
[11:24] <reverseblade> jmcsteve, I am your friend also :)
[11:24] <Corbeaux> scary...
[11:24] <Corbeaux> lol
[11:25] <kitche> Shocka311: I know the shell can be scary but once you learn it you will know alot for example my whole system has no X on it since I can do everything from the shell
[11:25] <scribebox> hi, i need help moving a linux software raid0 over to new distribtion
[11:25] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: maybe seeing my rc.local would help: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38287/
[11:25] <reverseblade> Shocka311, heh, this is because you havent asked it before :)
[11:25] <zzzerotime> is there any spanish speaking channel?
[11:25] <scribebox> would i be able to copy just the relevant FSTAB ?
[11:25] <Flannel> !es | zzzerotime
[11:25] <ubotu> zzzerotime: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[11:25] <Shocka311> ;)
[11:25] <jmcsteve> a 512 mbr image will fit any disk, i think...
[11:25] <wildchild> what's the other command for dpkg
[11:25] <Shocka311> what is an X
[11:25] <stephan21> lupine_85, where r they at
[11:25] <animefanatic> Can anyone help me with this error, I get it whenever i try to install ubuntu on an ext3 partition:
[11:25] <Shocka311> is that a platform like ubuntu?
[11:25] <mzanfardino> !init.d
[11:25] <animefanatic> The ext3 file system creation in partition #2 of SCSI5 (0,0,0) (sdc) failed.
[11:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about init.d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:25] <Shocka311> or windows?
[11:26] <Flannel> Shocka311: X (X.org) is the basis of the graphical interface.  Gnome/KDE/etc all run "ontop" of X
[11:26] <kitche> Shocka311: X=xorg the server that lets you havce graphic interface(gnome,kde,xfce)
[11:26] <Corbeaux> X is a graphical user interface
[11:26] <reverseblade> Shocka311, I am sure there are better definitions. X is just the sub system that allows to use your mouse and draws that windows etc
[11:26] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: try the updated version (hit refresh)
[11:26] <reverseblade> Shocka311, it is the counter part of terminal
[11:26] <kitche> reverseblade: I can use a mouse in shell
[11:26] <hjmills> how can i tell the installer what my cpu is from the command line?
[11:26] <reverseblade> kitche, I know I know
[11:27] <reverseblade> hjmills, what installer ?
[11:27] <hjmills> reverseblade: the ubuntu installer - its giving problems and i think it may be autodetecting my cpu wrongly
[11:27] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: I hit refresh but don't see any difference...
[11:27] <animefanatic> <-- is actually locked out of both his XP OS and Linux OS, using a live cd right now, so if any one could help me get back to windows i would appreciate that also
[11:27] <reverseblade> hjmills, what kind of problems, at what stage ?
[11:27] <lupine_85> 14. sh /opt/fgs/setenv.sh \n 15. /opt/fgs/fgs start
[11:28] <Flannel> animefanatic: what does "locked out" mean?
[11:28] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: ^ those two lines changed ^
[11:28] <animefanatic> meaning my boot manger is screwed up cause of grub
[11:28] <mzanfardino> animefanatic: what happens when you try to boot?
[11:28] <lupine_85> assuming that the command fgs is in /opt/fgs, of course
[11:28] <Shocka311> Ah that makes sense.  This is all the stuff I'm trying to learn.  so will on of these links you gave me earlier explaine alot of this stuff? or where can I go to just read and learn about all these basic functions and definitions so I don't have to have you explain the whole system to me step by step?
[11:28] <Flannel> animefanatic: just reinstall grub, that'll fix it.
[11:28] <animefanatic> grub gives me error 22
[11:28] <Corbeaux> animefanatic, try here: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/
[11:28] <animefanatic> well i don't exactly have a working version of linux right now
[11:28] <hjmills> reverseblade: it restarts when i try to install when loading the kernel
[11:28] <Flannel> animefanatic: did you delete your linux partition?
[11:28] <animefanatic> so can i still install grub
[11:28] <Flannel> animefanatic: you can use the liveCD to reinstall grub
[11:29] <kitche> Shocka311: get Linux in a nutshell it's an excellent book to learn the basic Linux system
[11:29] <reverseblade> Shocka311, help.ubuntu.com
[11:29] <animefanatic> i stil have the linux partition, but ubuntu won't install currectly
[11:29] <reverseblade> hjmills, could you boot in live CD?
[11:29] <hjmills> reverseblade: and with an edgy cd it gave an "Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP <blah> <blah> <blah>"
[11:29] <Shocka311> where do I get linux in a nutshell again?
[11:29] <lupine_85> Amazon :p
[11:30] <Orestes^> before upgrading my ubuntu version, I used to have a fancy popup notification window when I used the shortcut keys for volume control with kmix... I don't have them any more... Does anybody have any clue about where they have been lost?
[11:30] <animefanatic> i have multiple HDs will that affect the grub installation at all
[11:30] <reverseblade> Shocka311, buy a book from amazon.com
[11:30] <kitche> Shocka311: from any book store that is big, it's done by oreilly which makes many books baout open source
[11:30] <eLCANGRY> HELLO
[11:30] <drach> Shocka311:  you can find also some guides here: http://www.tldp.org/guides.html
[11:30] <hjmills> reverseblade: no - i tried the livecd / installer for dapper and it restarted
[11:30] <HentaiSushi> i installed wine using synaptic, but i dont see the .wine directory
[11:30] <Flannel> animefanatic: that shouldn't matter.  You'll install grub to the boot record of your first harddrive
[11:30] <mc44> !caps | eLCANGRY
[11:30] <ubotu> eLCANGRY: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[11:30] <reverseblade> hjmills, what processor do you have ?
[11:30] <kitche> HentaiSushi: you have to run wine first
[11:30] <HentaiSushi> how kitche
[11:31] <Flannel> !grub | animefanatic, first link, instructions on reinstalling grub from your liveCD
[11:31] <ubotu> animefanatic, first link, instructions on reinstalling grub from your liveCD: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:31] <hjmills> HentaiSushi: I think its created when u run wine
[11:31] <kitche> HentaiSushi: open up a terminal and type wine or winecfg
[11:31] <HentaiSushi> thanks guys
[11:31] <reverseblade> lol
[11:31] <hjmills> reverseblade: its a p4 2.8GHz
[11:31] <reverseblade> lots of wine expertees around :)
[11:31] <Corbeaux> expertise?
[11:31] <hjmills> reverseblade: i set it up about half an hour ago...
[11:31] <reverseblade> hjmills, single processor
[11:31] <reverseblade> expertees
[11:32] <Corbeaux> ok
[11:32] <hjmills> reverseblade: yup - before the dual core age
[11:32] <mzanfardino> lupine_85: I made the changes (added the sh before /opt/fgs/setenv.sh and the path /opt/fgs/ in front of fgs start) but still no indication they executed.  Do I need to do something with update-rc.d?
[11:32] <Shocka311> cool. one last thing, for now... on this terminal window do I have to type very specific comands or is there some way I can type a genral comand?  I don't know the specific file names of much so I don't know what comands to type.
[11:32] <reverseblade> hjmills, tough luck :) what cd do you use 386 ?
[11:32] <lupine_85> mzanfardino: shouldn't need to
[11:32] <lupine_85> you could try using cron instead, I guess :s
[11:32] <hjmills> reverseblade: yup
[11:33] <lupine_85> or you could link them into your default runlevel
[11:33] <lupine_85> (/etc/rc2.d)
[11:33] <FifaFrazer> Which Samba client with GUI would you recommend? I use XFCE..   I can't seem to get this bloody thing to work... I'm going to try something else, just to see if the file is even being executed...
[11:33] <lupine_85> lots of different ways to do it - rc.local is the easiest, usually
[11:33] <reverseblade> Shocka311, you get help on a command by man <command>. Do not use terminal till you needed. You have your mouse after all
[11:33] <reverseblade> Shocka311, thats only a beginners advice though
[11:33] <Shocka311> great thanks.
[11:34] <lupine_85> terminal > GUI :p
[11:34] <Corbeaux> Shocka311, here's a nice link with commands and their function: http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/
[11:34] <LinTux> I am trying to share a printer with the XP machine, is it easier to share it on the xp machine or the Ubuntu machine?
[11:34] <lupine_85> well, except for image editing
[11:34] <reverseblade> hjmills, strange, I have never heard such a thing. Does your computer boots with another OS ?
[11:34] <Shocka311> awesome
[11:35] <hjmills> reverseblade: i only have windows to try and it booted as far as the press r to repair or enter to install screen
[11:35] <reverseblade> LinTux, prolly same, I tried when printer is on XP, it was fairly easy thoughj
[11:35] <hjmills> reverseblade: (first user input screen)
[11:35] <bitmvnch> lupine_85: you jest ;)
[11:35] <lupine_85> I do :(
[11:35] <kitche> Corbeaux: ah that's the link I was looking for to give to Shocka311
[11:35] <reverseblade> hjmills, ok, try with noapic boot option
[11:35] <lupine_85> although with a decent framebuffer there's no reason why not...
[11:35] <Corbeaux> :)
[11:35] <scribeLAP> hi
[11:35] <LinTux> I have just install fresh, what else do i need to install to enable me to do this
[11:35] <lupine_85> noapic acpi=off noresume
[11:35] <FifaFrazer> lupine_85, I know you would say so, but to me its faster to click some icons than to look up in some book for the right commands :P
[11:35] <scribeLAP> anyone have any ideas how i would go about moving a fc6 raid0 to an ubuntu server?
[11:36] <reverseblade> irqpoll, nosmp
[11:36] <scribeLAP> :(?
[11:36] <lupine_85> FifaFrazer: indeed. But when the command is in your memory, and GUI equivalent takes 5-50x longer to load, it's a no-brainer
[11:36] <reverseblade> scribeLAP, ubuntu is a noobie distro :)
[11:36] <CarlFK> in ~/.bash_profile is PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}" but it doesn't seem to get set... anyone know why?
[11:37] <Corbeaux> reverseblade which distro is your preference?
[11:37] <reverseblade> CarlFK, it should be export
[11:37] <scribeLAP> reverseblade, ... i use ubuntu fc6, and debian.
[11:37] <reverseblade> Corbeaux, being a noobie distro is not a bad thing after all.
[11:37] <lupine_85> ubuntu > fc6
[11:37] <lupine_85> Windows 1.0 > fc6 :p
[11:37] <scribeLAP> i just like the fact that ubuntu usually gets everything configured and working easier/faster then all the other distros i tried.
[11:37] <CarlFK> reverseblade: are you sure?  PATH already exists,
[11:38] <scribeLAP> im really dissapionted in my FC6 install..
[11:38] <Corbeaux> the only thing i didn't like about ubuntu for the couple days i had it installed many moons ago was that it lacked a full screen text mode
[11:38] <scribeLAP> the YUM installer broke..
[11:38] <lupine_85> Corbeaux: ctrl+alt+f1
[11:38] <konam> there's someone of the blubuntu artwork team here?
[11:38] <Corbeaux> neh, it just went back into the gui
[11:38] <reverseblade> scribeLAP, not true. the biggest + of ubuntu is it has a large active community
[11:38] <hjmills> reverseblade: same problem :(
[11:38] <CarlFK> reverseblade: not to mention it didnt work :)
[11:38] <reverseblade> hjmills, sorry , no other ideas
[11:38] <lupine_85> Corbeaux: doesn't here
[11:38] <Corbeaux> :)
[11:39] <lupine_85> sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[11:39] <lupine_85> problem solved
[11:39] <Corbeaux> also tried ctrl+alt+backspace and it killed X but then it just restarted a couple seconds later
[11:39] <reverseblade> CarlFK, AFAIK, you set the env vars by: export MY_VAR=....
[11:40] <lupine_85> ^ Corbeaux ^ that /will/ work
[11:40] <Corbeaux> ya
[11:41] <scribeLAP> sooooo
[11:41] <scribeLAP> no one knows if i can transfer my RAID0 :)?
[11:41] <DJGummikuh> hey there... how do I play realmedia files "teh ubuntu way"?
[11:41] <scribeLAP> cause its 500GB of shite. :D
[11:41] <scribeLAP> movies / mp3's / pr0n..
[11:41] <scribeLAP> battlestar.
[11:41] <reverseblade> scribeLAP, you may try #linux, #raid (if exists)
[11:41] <DJGummikuh> scribeLAP: nobody really cares what illegal stuff you have on your system
[11:41] <x-r00t-x> how do i quit from "vi" on terminal?
[11:42] <scribeLAP> I care.. its alot of shit..
[11:42] <DJGummikuh> esc - ":" "q!" <enter>
[11:42] <Corbeaux> esc:q!
[11:42] <mc44> !ohmy | scribeLAP
[11:42] <ubotu> scribeLAP: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:42] <hjmills> reverseblade: i think its the mobo as somebody else reported the same problem on the forums with a "Compaq Presario Pentium 4 2.8GHz" which is where this board originally came from... :( looks like I am out of luck
[11:42] <DJGummikuh> mc44: thanx :)
[11:42] <reverseblade> hjmills, try a different distro before going for windows
[11:42] <DJGummikuh> hey can someone here tell me how to view .rv files the ubuntu way?
[11:42] <x-r00t-x> mc44, how do i exit from vim? vi
[11:43] <DJGummikuh> synaptics neither has mplayer nor vlc with realplay support NOR realplayer itself in it
[11:43] <DJGummikuh> x-r00t-x: we just told you!
[11:43] <reverseblade> x-r00t-x, same as vi
[11:43] <DJGummikuh> esc:q!
[11:43] <hjmills> reverseblade: I already tried gentoo out of desperation but I will try fedora core 6 once i have the iso downloaded.............
[11:43] <scribeLAP> what are some good games to install on a xUbuntu laptop
[11:43] <DJGummikuh> hjmills: stay with gentoo ^^
[11:43] <scribeLAP> (very old.. 600mhz)
[11:43] <reverseblade> hjmills, thats strange, really
[11:43] <schisms> DJGummikuh, did you add the software sources first?
[11:43] <wahl> plz help me, my quake3 won't work trough wine:S well it works but it's all white and stuff:S how do i fix it? plz help
[11:43] <mc44> x-r00t-x: :quit
[11:43] <DanglyBits> is there some what to get ubuntu gnome to act like mac osX (I like the kicker that expands the icons on the bottom of mas osX)?
[11:43] <DJGummikuh> schisms: which sources?
[11:43] <Aodh> howdy, quick question, how does one start configuration tools from the command line? Like the printer for example?
[11:44] <reverseblade> scribeLAP, I like freecol
[11:44] <schisms> system>admin>software sources
[11:44] <DJGummikuh> you mean the sources repositories? excuse me I'm gentoo user I just need to find a way to let my sister see stuff
[11:44] <schisms> Check all of the boxes.
[11:44] <schisms> Correct
[11:44] <DJGummikuh> schisms: yeah I made that already
[11:44] <reverseblade> DanglyBits, google it, I know there is
[11:44] <hjmills> DJGummikuh: no - its too complicated for my sister and too slow for me :( also it wont boot
[11:44] <schisms> It should have something relating.
[11:44] <schisms> I'd use gxine
[11:44] <DJGummikuh> schisms: except the Source code stuff..
[11:44] <bitmvnch> d'oh wrong chan
[11:44] <bitmvnch> heh
[11:44] <DJGummikuh> schisms: for realplayer?
[11:44] <DJGummikuh> schisms: err realmedia?
[11:44] <schisms> Doubt it
[11:45] <schisms> Wait.
[11:45] <FifaFrazer> wahl, afaik there's a free linux port of quake3, where you just copy your .pk3 file to the free version and, you're good to go
[11:45] <schisms> I mean, gxine is better than mplayer
[11:45] <schisms> A lot better.
[11:45] <masura> i prefer vlc
[11:45] <vertigo> hey people. im trying to get a linksys wpc54g ver 3 working on ubuntu 6.10, but without luck
[11:45] <reverseblade> schisms, but real men use mplayer
[11:45] <macogw> i like vlc too
[11:45] <msubu> you need all of them
[11:45] <DJGummikuh> schisms: I prefere mplayer because you can do like anything with it...
[11:45] <macogw> except i can only get .wmv to play on totem with xine backend
[11:45] <Aodh> mplayer, watching a movie from the command line. :)
[11:45] <wahl> fifafrazer : so i shal copy...
[11:45] <DJGummikuh> am I blind or is mplayer not in ubuntu's repositories?
[11:45] <vertigo> any of you tried getting this card working before?
[11:46] <DJGummikuh> Aodh: yep waht's wrong with it? :)
[11:46] <reverseblade> DJGummikuh, you are blind
[11:46] <schisms> Mplayer's always given me trouble.
[11:46] <mc44> !info mplayer
[11:46] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (edgy), package size 3461 kB, installed size 8624 kB
[11:46] <DJGummikuh> reverseblade: what do I have to look for? I let synaptics search for "mplayer" and it returned 0 results
[11:46] <mc44> DJGummikuh: its in multiverse
[11:46] <reverseblade> schisms, yes this is why I told "real men"
[11:46] <DJGummikuh> mc44: how do I search in multiverse
[11:46] <reverseblade> DJGummikuh, I was just offending you :)
[11:46] <mc44> DJGummikuh: you have to enable the additional repositores
[11:47] <msubu> Dj .. add the extra repositories
[11:47] <schisms> I think he's done do
[11:47] <mc44> !repositories | DJGummikuh
[11:47] <ubotu> DJGummikuh: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[11:47] <schisms> *so
[11:47] <Aodh> to use mplayer you you probably ought to install the win32 codecs.
[11:47] <Aodh> does ubuntu have those?
[11:47] <MitchM> Has anyone tried installing ubuntu on a Dell PowerEdge 1655MC or know of a plaace to point me to where I can find relative information?
[11:47] <wahl> fifafrazer : what u meen "free" ?
[11:47] <reptile> greetings

[11:48] <MitchM> reverseblade, not.
[11:48] <reverseblade> MitchM, I am serious

[11:48] <mc44> DJGummikuh: try sudo apt-get install mplayer
[11:48] <reverseblade> MitchM, is it a laptop?
[11:48] <BSDnux> does anyone know of a ATRAC player for linux? that's the codec sony uses for their music players.
[11:48] <bimberi> wow, a poweredge laptop ;P
[11:48] <MitchM> reverseblade, No fool. you ar eof no help.
[11:48] <msubu> Dj.. do you have main universe  multiverse and restricted?
[11:48] <MitchM> you are*
[11:49] <reverseblade> MitchM, if it is not a laptop, I think you should search it piece by piece
[11:49] <DJGummikuh> mc44: I found the multiverse entry
[11:49] <MitchM> reverseblade, Why dont _you_ google what  poweredge 1655MC is.
[11:49] <sntx_> hi all

[11:57] <ubotu> ubuntuuser: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash-image using !gconf-editor
[11:57] <reverseblade> DanglyBits, stable now, unstable tomorrow
[11:57] <LinTux> seems a good idea, but no need to, me staying with Linux now!
[11:57] <mc44> reverseblade: thats sort of the definition of unstable
[11:58] <Xinux> LinTux, you finance mr gates?
[11:58] <reverseblade> mc44, no I meant it becomes stable after updates
[11:58] <mnoir> DanglyBits: unstable, unsuitable for any but experimental use
[11:58] <reverseblade> mc44, unstable sorry
[11:58] <mnoir> and use is the wrong word too
[11:58] <livingtm> Im trying to make a backup of a VMware machine. Can't seem to make a tar.bz file bigger than 2GB. Is there a way i can do this?
[11:58] <Slingky> need help guys!
[11:58] <masura> Aodh, I have no idea what is a ppd. So unfortunately I can't tell how to fix the error. But for every manmade problem can be found a manmade solution. Google is probably the answer =D
[11:58] <moreno> hola
[11:58] <Slingky> how to trash evolution profile ?

[11:59] <ubotu> moreno: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[11:59] <ubuntuuser> ubotu, how do i do that?
[11:59] <Aodh> google yes... if its one there. :)
[11:59] <reverseblade> livingtm, you can have bigger tgz files than 2gb, but you may not be able to writem to a DVD
[11:59] <drach> !ubout
[11:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubout - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:59] <ubuntuuser> the manager, how do i use that?
[11:59] <JackInTheGreen> anyone here tried running Second Life on Linux?
[11:59] <livingtm> reverseblade, can i span it across mutiple files?
[12:00] <hjmills> reverseblade: it manages to successfully load the initrd.gz and other file it loads when you boot but restarts immediatly after loading the second one
[12:00] <cmweb> Whats a good alternative to wine that supports a lot of programs?
[12:00] <kane77> is there a command to grab a screen?? (printscreen to a file?) I need it for my script... I also remember something that records commands and makes script out of it
[12:00] <Bepo> Reverseblade: I finished the stuff for Totem-xine... but now the vids come out all washed out and stuff is there a fix for that?
[12:00] <LjL> cmweb: a virtual machine
[12:00] <bimberi> ubuntuuser: install and run it - gnome-splashscreen-manager
[12:00] <reverseblade> livingdaylight, tar can do it but I suggest you using split.  split -b 1000m backup.tgz will do it. To restore cat xaa xab xac ... > backup.tgz
[12:00] <masura> cmweb, cedega
[12:00] <ubuntuuser> no, i was trying to type your name. but, how do i use it? where do i find it?
