[12:05] <manpreet> hi
[12:05] <manpreet> guys
[12:05] <manpreet> im using minicom to connect to my nokia n73
[12:05] <oliver_g1> DM|: I suppose the uid option is not allowed there, but if Ubuntu doesn't mount the disk automatically correct _and_ you can't fix it there manually, it's a bug...
[12:05] <manpreet> i can make calls but thats about it
[12:05] <manpreet> how do i view my phone book, etc
[12:05] <DM|> oliver_g1 super
[12:05] <musashi> USMarine, it wont let me open menu.lst in terminal
[12:05] <manpreet> any thoughts
[12:06] <DM|> oliver_g1 ill try it on my feisty box, hold on
[12:06] <haru> nickrud, any ideas?
[12:06] <DM|> oliver_g1 oh snap, uid=0 fixed it
[12:06] <pvl1> is there a file explorer that can show authors of music files?
[12:06] <DM|> oliver_g1 no wait, cancel that
[12:06] <nickrud> haru: that's really odd that an ubuntu repo would do that. Could be a corrupt download. You've tried more than once, I hope (not)?
[12:06] <pvl1> er file manager
[12:06] <haru> nickrud, yes
[12:06] <progrock`> how many primary partitions can a HD have?
[12:07] <USMarine> pvl1: amarok
[12:07] <manpreet> hi
[12:07] <DM|> oliver_g1 lol no just icons didnt load
[12:07] <pvl1> USMarine: ty
[12:07] <USMarine> progrock`: primary 4, extended many
[12:07] <oliver_g1> DM|: ?
[12:07] <haru> nickrud, do u have any ideas where aptitude saves package.gz files it download
[12:07] <manpreet> i am connecting to my nokia n73 using minicom
[12:07] <nickrud> haru: security is the only one that does that? If so, it's probably a problem at the other end
[12:07] <manpreet> i can make calls but thats about it
[12:07] <haru> nickrud, works fine on another system i have
[12:07] <nickrud> haru: /var/lib/apt/lists
[12:07] <musashi> USMarine, do you have any idea why im getting a "cannot open display:" when trying to open gedit in terminal?
[12:07] <manpreet> how do i view my phone book etc
[12:08] <endo> is there anyway that I can get rid of the login screen on bootup?
[12:08] <USMarine> musashi: you're opening it with a root account
[12:08] <musashi> USMarine, it was working fine just a minute ago... i logged on as myself
[12:08] <f0rgivme`> any way I can transfer files to my mp3(zen micro photo) from linux? :x
[12:08] <manpreet> anybody?
[12:09] <LiMaO> endo: i think there is a way, wait a second and i'll try to find you a link
[12:09] <musashi> nvmit worked when i closed/reopened the terminal
[12:09] <haru> nickrud, see.. now deleting everything there fixes it
[12:09] <Iceshadow> i talked with someone in here last night about authenticating an ubuntu workstation against an Active Directory inside a microsoft network. would that person a.) remember, and b.) be around this evening?
[12:09] <f0rgivme`> anyone?
[12:09] <DM|> oliver_g1 uids only go in numbers, gonna put 777 in there see if that does it
[12:09] <nickrud> haru: I'll remember that, thanks for the update
[12:10] <f0rgivme`> is it possible to transfer files to my mp3 player from ubuntu?
[12:10] <ruz322> Iceshadow: I'm not tha person, but ive done it before
[12:10] <progrock`> f0rgivme`: of course
[12:10] <oliver_g1> DM|: no, i guess it must be your user id
[12:10] <f0rgivme`> progrock`,  how? :x
[12:10] <haru> :) ty you too . was looking for the answer since a few weeks now
[12:10] <haru> for*
[12:10] <TokenBad> nickrud, I am on the ati website and I don't see a 40.4
[12:10] <f0rgivme`> progrock`,  it doesn't detect my zen
[12:10] <Iceshadow> ruz322: i've got some questions after talking with one of the admins here. Is kerberos an active function of authentication in AD, or something they have to add?
[12:10] <progrock`> f0rgivme`: just plug it in, almsot all of them should show up automatically
[12:10] <LiMaO> endo: go to System > Administration > Login Window and check out the Security tab
[12:10] <oliver_g1> DM|: maybe try uid=1000
[12:11] <nickrud> TokenBad: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html
[12:11] <progrock`> Does gnome or kde have better tablet functionality?
[12:11] <nickagian> join #gr-ubuntu
[12:11] <ruz322> Iceshadow: what do you mean? are you asking if microsoft uses it to implement active directory?
[12:11] <f0rgivme`> progrock`,  it doesn't tho:\
[12:11] <DM|> oliver_g1 did
[12:11] <DM|> oliver_g1 no success
[12:11] <manpreet> any ideas about minicom pleese
[12:11] <Iceshadow> ruz322: AD authentication
[12:12] <DM|> oliver_g1 whats the number u use when chmod'ing something to give everyone access to it
[12:12] <oliver_g1> DM|: DM|: I think 777 should do it
[12:12] <endo> LiMaO: thanks so much man :D
[12:12] <oliver_g1> DM|: but I'm not sure if it should go after the uid= part
[12:12] <oliver_g1> DM|: maybe "man mount" (the section about vfat) can tell you more
[12:12] <DM|> oliver_g1 im trying uid=777
[12:12] <ruz322> Iceshadow: AD is active directory....
[12:13] <ruz322> Iceshadow: so what are you asking me? lol i'm not picking up your question
[12:13] <oliver_g1> DM|: anyway I have to leave now (it's late here already) :-/
[12:13] <LiMaO> endo: you're welcome =)
[12:13] <sivik> hey all
[12:14] <pike_> DM|: you yourgroup others   so ---------  each --- and --- and --- its binary so --- is 0 and --1 is one -1- is two 111 is 7
[12:14] <Iceshadow> the admin, which probably doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, tells me that they have to "enable" kerberos on the active directory. However, documentation i'm reading says that's HOW active directory handles authentication.
[12:14] <nickrud> doh, my brain really isn't working, the containing directory was immutable
[12:14] <sivik> how do i create a menu inside of blackbox
[12:14] <IrishDave> hey, can someone recommend me a media center program for use? I want to be able to access files on a samba share (movies and tv episodes) along with music and pictures, i'm not too worried about getting tv to work
[12:14] <Iceshadow> and all i need to do is install ldap/kerberos on Ubuntu, configure it, and i'm set.
[12:14] <endo> anyone in here use Frostwire? why can I not type anything when I goto search?
[12:15] <ruz322> Iceshadow: well your right about the admin, he is a dumb ass, kerberos is an open source alternative used to connect to AD environments, there is nothing to be done on the server side, it all works with microsoft stuff
[12:15] <pike_> endo: you using sun java?
[12:15] <endo> yeah
[12:15] <ChaosParser> IrishDave: http://linuxmce.com/
[12:15] <unagi> disable desktop effects endo
[12:15] <ruz322> Iceshadow: you dont have to change anything on the server to allow ubuntu machines to cnnect
[12:15] <Iceshadow> ruz322: that's what i thought. So this will be as simple as setting LDAP/Kerberos up on this workstation, configure it to this network, and i'm good to go.
[12:15] <SaSo> i need the iphone room
[12:15] <IrishDave> ChaosParser: I have been looking at it but is it not hard to set up?
[12:15] <endo> it takes me having to disable my desktop effects to be able to run forstwire proporly? that is lame
[12:15] <pike_> endo: dunno i use amule or torrent mostly but ive setup frost and lime for friends. whenever one gives me trouble i just use the other ;p
[12:16] <ruz322> Iceshadow: exactly, i would make sure you know all your network settings though, you'll need them to connect
[12:16] <marcelo> hello, who use ubuntu gusty?
[12:16] <ompaul> !gutsy
[12:16] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 18th, 2007) | It is development software, and as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1 | See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon for more information
[12:16] <pike_> marcelo: /join #ubuntu+1
[12:16] <unagi> then dont use frost or limewire endo
[12:16] <marcelo> ok
[12:16] <Iceshadow> ruz322: got em all already. I just wanted to make sure i'm on the same page as the documentation, the sysadmins threw me for a loop earlier when i brought this up.
[12:16] <Striker21> hey, quick question
[12:16] <stinger05> how can i stop the X server in ubuntu terminal ???
[12:16] <pike_> stinger05: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[12:16] <PriceChild> stinger05, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[12:16] <pike_> stinger05: is one way
[12:16] <Striker21> can Ubuntu run the latest pc games?
[12:17] <ruz322> Iceshadow: yea, ignore those windows junkies, they dont know what they are talking about, maybe you can convince them to dump those windows servers in the process! :)
[12:17] <sivik> Striker21: possible with cedega or wine
[12:17] <PriceChild> Striker21, depends if they have linux clients or not.
[12:17] <Iceshadow> ruz322: good luck with them having a MS contract and 7000 win clients.
[12:17] <endo> what else would you recommend?
[12:17] <pike_> stinger05: often yes often no. linux has its own games also. some are pretty good
[12:17] <Iceshadow> ruz322: lol
[12:17] <PriceChild> Striker21, you will get variable success with things like cedega or wine
[12:17] <unagi> i haven't been able to completely get rid of windows because windows runs some things linux doesnt =/
[12:17] <ruz322> Iceshadow: yea, thats true
[12:17] <sivik> anyone here use blackbox?
[12:17] <Striker21> would you say most games today have linux support (or will in the future)?
[12:17] <musashi> im getting an error, gsynaptics couldnt initialize. i have to set SH<Config 'true' in xorg.conf to use it.  how do i do that?
[12:17] <musashi> SHMConfig*
[12:17] <ruz322> Striker21: No and I doubt it
[12:17] <Iceshadow> ruz322: but, i silently spread the dark side inside the office here, and hope it contaminates the rest of the general pop. :)
[12:18] <ruz322> Iceshadow: that's great
[12:18] <Striker21> thanks
[12:18] <Meroigo> I'm getting two SyncMaster 997DF 19" monitors soon. Are they 100% compatible with ubuntu? =P...
[12:18] <pike_> stinger05: in future more will. today any id game like doom or whatnot has linux native support. there are free games also like tremulous
[12:18] <stinger05> i tried that command to stop the X server, but the video driver i want to install keeps on telling me that it's running :S:S
[12:18] <sivik> stinger05, run a ps aux | grep xserver and see if one is still running
[12:19] <unagi> Striker21: take it from a gamer....dual boot
[12:19] <sivik> stinger05, and then you can stop it with sudo kill #
[12:19] <sivik> unagi: it really depends on the games buddy
[12:19] <sivik> unagi: some of them run better with wine/cedega then they do in windows
[12:19] <stinger05> whats the commands to kill both ?
[12:19] <unagi> SOME of them
[12:19] <pike_> Striker21: if youre a gamer today either dualboot or get a console. me i play tremulous sometimes and im happy
[12:19] <Striker21> figured, I've been using a dell so I never had to buy Windows.  No OS though and I'm a bit tight on cash
[12:19] <unagi> doesnt change my answer
[12:20] <TokenBad> nickrud, thanks but thats for 64bit or seems it is
[12:20] <sivik> unagi: i know, i was just saying
[12:20] <jdq997> Guys I have a request.  I just ran a bunch of searches and could not find the Dapper login and logoff sound files.
[12:20] <sivik> stinger05, just run sudo kill xserver and it should kill them all
[12:20] <jdq997> Does anyone have this on hand?
[12:20] <sivik> jdq997, why are you running dapper?
[12:20] <stinger05> ok thats what i wanted :D
[12:20] <stinger05> thx dude :))
[12:20] <sivik> stinger05, yw
[12:20] <jdq997> I am not running dapper
[12:21] <sivik> jdq997, then why are you trying to find something for dapper?
[12:21] <jdq997> I like the login sound effects, and would like to use them
[12:21] <nickrud> TokenBad: it made 386 debs for me
[12:21] <sivik> jdq997, have you tried google?
[12:21] <TokenBad> really..ok will try it
[12:21] <arpeggi> hey guys
[12:21] <LiveJazz> hey
[12:21] <sivik> hi arpeggi
[12:21] <arpeggi> is this the right place for tech support?
[12:21] <arpeggi> well not really tech support
[12:21] <sivik> arpeggi, something like that
[12:21] <sivik> arpeggi, this is a help channel
[12:22] <arpeggi> just teething problems :)
[12:22] <sivik> arpeggi, what is the problem
[12:22] <pike_> arpeggi: if its ubuntu related questions yeah
[12:22] <sivik> arpeggi, just ask it
[12:22] <arpeggi> awesome
[12:22] <arpeggi> im running the livecd atm
[12:22] <sivik> arpeggi, ok
[12:22] <arpeggi> but in safe graphics mode
[12:22] <sivik> arpeggi, whats the problem?
[12:22] <nickrud> TokenBad: I got sidetracked by the immutable directory problem, I'll catch up now
[12:22] <arpeggi> im trying to install graphics diver
[12:22] <arpeggi> s
[12:22] <sivik> arpeggi, that is going to be difficult with a livecd
[12:22] <jdq997> sivik, I did yes.  I was hoping that someone here might have the files and could shoot them in my direction.
[12:22] <arpeggi> maybe thats my problem
[12:23] <pike_> wait.. we have a safe graphics mode? what is that vesa?
[12:23] <arpeggi> yeah
[12:23] <sivik> pike_, yes
[12:23] <TokenBad> nickrud, well in ubuntu
[12:23] <TokenBad> crap
[12:23] <musashi> how do i install mysql?
[12:23] <arpeggi> im trying to use envy
[12:23] <sivik> musashi: it should be simple, aptitude (apt-get) install mysql
[12:23] <TokenBad> in ubuntu+1 they say it don't use the one drivers...just the open source one
[12:23] <sivik> or you can search for it with symaptic (or however you spell it)
[12:24] <pike_> arpeggi: most here will recommend you not use envy anymore. the restricted manager is used most often now though ive never tried either
[12:24] <arpeggi> whats the restricted manager?
[12:24] <musashi> it keeps giving me an error
[12:24] <musashi> broken packages
[12:24] <musashi> or something
[12:24] <unagi> musashi does it say that the package cant be found?
[12:24] <sivik> musashi: there should be a -f command it says to run at the bottom
[12:24] <arpeggi> oh i've found the restricted drivers manager
[12:25] <sivik> arpeggi, but you can't install anything on the live cd
[12:25] <musashi> it just says E: Broken packages
[12:25] <pike_> arpeggi: yeah i dont know gnome very well
[12:25] <danroj> hi
[12:25] <sivik> musashi, use pastebin and past the error,, that will help us more
[12:25] <pike_> arpeggi: the livecd will be a good test to how itll work once installed though. if it works in livecd it should on hd and youll already know how to do it
[12:26] <arpeggi> so i can install drivers with the livecd version
[12:26] <lufis> What's the gui kernel config app?
[12:26] <musashi> i would if i knew how ;_;
[12:26] <pike_> arpeggi: yeah its just like hd isntall only you lose everything after reboot
[12:26] <Striker21> Looked up cdega
[12:27] <Striker21> how much success have you had with it/
[12:27] <Pie-rate> I want to install the latest FGLRX (or open-source, if they support 3d acceleration well now) driver for my laptop's ATI Radeon xpress 1100 IGP. i can't find a download for that specific model on AMD/ATI's website, does anyone know how to do this?
[12:27] <lufis> What
[12:27] <Pie-rate> i know its available in the repos, don't !ati me.
[12:27] <arpeggi> im downloading a driver off of the nvidia site
[12:27] <Pie-rate> i want the latest one
[12:27] <pike_> Striker21: wine does about as well these days. its usually a crapshoot
[12:27] <arpeggi> i just dont know how i'll install it
[12:27] <arpeggi> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run
[12:28] <lufis> What's the gui config app for the kernel that you have to compile from the kernel sources? the terminal one is menuconfig
[12:28] <SWAT> does anyone know how I can get un-anti-aliased fonts in my gnome-terminal? Even monospaced is anti-aliased, it's quite annoying
[12:28] <kitche> lufis: xconfig?
[12:28] <jhou> xmenuconfig?
[12:28] <lufis> kitche: Maybe? :) thanks
[12:29] <Avariel> i guess if you run the terminal and go to gconf-editor
[12:29] <kitche> been a while since I even used a gui to compile the kernel well configure the compile
[12:29] <pike_> arpeggi: http://albertomilone.com/latest_nvidia_udsf_feisty.html#METHOD_2
[12:29] <unagi> you mean you want jagged fonts?
[12:29] <kitche> I really hate compiz right now ....
[12:29] <Pie-rate> arpeggi: ok, you can get the drivers from the ubuntu repository, they're usually fairly recent. if you NEED the latest drivers, the way you install them is you kill X by pressing ctrl-alt-f1, log in, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, type chmod 755 NVIDIA-Linux*, answer any questions it has
[12:29] <Pie-rate> arpeggi: after that you want to run nvidia-xconfig
[12:29] <Avariel> hey how do i go to the #emacs channel ? im on feisty fawn and i got the JDEE and JDK but my emacs wont compile ! only my shell will !
[12:29] <Pie-rate> arpeggi: so that it will enable the driver
[12:30] <lufis> jhou: not that one i don't think
[12:30] <SWAT> unagi, just a normal font (like xterm uses)
[12:30] <arpeggi> how do i log back in if i ctrl+shift+f1
[12:30] <pike_> arpeggi: bear in mind if you choose not to use the package but the .run file instead you will need to rerun it when you updates replace your kernel this can happen occationally if you run updates
[12:30] <Avariel> anybody know how to switch channels ? or look for other channels ?
[12:30] <musashi> unagi, actually if i type just apt-get install mysql, yes it does say it cat be found
[12:30] <unagi> ::shrug::
[12:31] <pike_> Avariel: /join #channel
[12:31] <jhou> u sure?
[12:31] <pike_> Avariel: what irc client?
[12:31] <jhou> make xmenuconfig?
[12:31] <Avariel> pike. well im having trouble with emacs
[12:31] <Pie-rate> arpeggi: after you press ctrl-alt-f1 you should have a text login. log in to that
[12:31] <siloko> join the millions :)
[12:31] <pike_> Avariel: ive only touched emacs a few times
[12:31] <lufis> jhou: make[1] : *** No rule to make target `xmenuconfig'.  Stop. make: *** [xmenuconfig]  Error 2
[12:32] <pike_> Avariel: /join #emacs  try there
[12:32] <Avariel> thanks pike, ill try that
[12:32] <Pie-rate> arpeggi: after you log in to that you can type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start if you killed X, or you can hit ctrl-alt-f7 if you haven't killed it yet.
[12:32] <jhou> lufis, u should be in the diercty witht he source
[12:32] <Pie-rate> arpeggi: to get back to your graphical interface
[12:32] <lufis> jhou: ok
[12:32] <jhou> what distro are you using?
[12:32] <arpeggi> ok here goes
[12:32] <ne0v001> mm.
[12:32] <kitche> lufis: you could always look at the makefile and it should tell you in there also
[12:32] <jhou> oh
[12:32] <jhou> we're in ubuntu cahnnel arent we
[12:32] <USMarine> jhou: nop
[12:33] <jhou> hohoho

[12:33] <ne0v001> o_o.
[12:33] <Mark7> Where do I go to get help with SIM-IM?
[12:33] <jhou> anyone here use torrentflux?
[12:33] <Tb0n3> ok, well, how would I go about setting device permissions
[12:33] <USMarine> jhou: azureus only
[12:33] <kitche> ? ok I don't want to know what arpeggi meant by that :)
[12:33] <pike_> jhou: what are you looking for in a torrent client?

[12:34] <musashi> whats the path to xorg.conf?
[12:34] <jhou> well im having trouble setting up the news server NZBperl thingie...and the ppl in the channel are ignoring me
[12:34] <pike_> ne0v001: irssi  bitchx is like using a client from 1997
[12:34] <USMarine> musashi: /etc/X11
[12:34] <ne0v001> pike_: Good point
[12:34] <danroj> bye bye
[12:35] <lufis> Ohhhh, it was "xconfig"
[12:35] <jhou> otherwise torretnflux is really cool though..u gusy shoudl definatley try it
[12:35] <jhou> lol
[12:35] <ne0v001> Eh. I'm still getting used to linux, though.
[12:35] <lufis> :p
[12:35] <ne0v001> Now I have a dualboot winxp/ubuntu laptop
[12:35] <riotkittie> partitions. arrrr.

[12:36] <[Seb] > hi i have had ubuntu for some time in the past week i got a belkin router got it all working with a N wireless usb adapter and ubuntu dont see it can any one help
[12:36] <ne0v001> Would it work?
[12:36] <nickrud> I really, really really dislike ati
[12:37] <pike_> jhou: now run qemu on the virtual xp workstation to run linux and wine in the linux in the quemu in vmware to run your windows apps
[12:37] <Mark7> Why does SIM-IM combine the search and add user dialogue?  Whose stupid idea was that?
[12:37] <musashi> USMarine, how do i set 'SHMConfig' 'true'
[12:37] <riotkittie> but ati loves you, nickrud
[12:37] <Jammer> ne0v001, it should work
[12:37] <kitche> ne0v001: mirc works in wine very well
[12:37] <ne0v001> hmmm.
[12:37] <musashi> nvm i think i see it
[12:37] <ne0v001> ok.
[12:37] <nickrud> enough to spend money on my drivers? (me hopes)
[12:37] <astro76> musashi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig
[12:37] <musashi> astro76,  thanks
[12:38] <riotkittie> mirc in wine would be awesome if scripts worked.  :<
[12:38] <musashi> sweet i would have done it right
[12:38] <musashi> thanks astro76

[12:41] <heatman> Hello. I keep getting the following error: configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install. I was told that it was due to the fact that I was missing gnome-libs-devel. However, could anyone tell me where i can find it since its not in the repositories.^
[12:42] <Kworth> I added an Video to my OpenOffice Presentation - but it always crashes if I try to open that slide - where can I find the video settings for open office?
[12:42] <musashi> k now its even less of a message when i try to install mysql

[12:43] <ubotu> Package/file gnomeconf.sh does not exist in feisty
[12:43] <[Seb] > my pc dont have a ethernet port
[12:43] <riotkittie> isnt ndiswrapper included on the live CD?
[12:43] <pike_> [Seb] : you could go to packages.ubuntu.com  make sure you grab dependancies too but i think ndiswrapper may be on your install cd/dvd possibly
[12:44] <[Seb] > ok il have a look
[12:44] <heatman> ubotu: is there a package that replace that?
[12:44] <riotkittie> ubotu is a bot
[12:44] <ubotu> Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information.
[12:44] <riotkittie> and it can confirm it. :o

[12:52] <jturek> is there a way to get gnome-terminal to work like putty for cut-paste?
[12:52] <jturek> (highlight the word to copy,  and right click to paste)
[12:52] <Xenguy> jturek: you should switch putty to work like X/gnome-terminal ;-)
[12:53] <Kworth> I added an Video to my OpenOffice Presentation - but it always crashes if I try to open that slide - where can I find the video settings for open office?
[12:53] <jturek> Xenguy, well i could middle click to paste, that is fine.. but I want to auto copy on highlight at least :)
[12:53] <Grumpy> im having troubles burning a dvd, any ideas?
[12:53] <bjron> does anyone have a recommendation for a good bit-torrent client?  I'v been pretty unsatisfied with the default one and others I'v tried.
[12:53] <Eminence> (gusty beta) my xorg.conf is configured to use the 'nv' driver, but a lsmod reports that 'nvidia' is loaded.  any idea what's up with this?
[12:54] <Grumpy> im using deluge, its OK enough
[12:54] <Xenguy> jturek: I thought both did the latter actually (supper, TTYL)
[12:54] <Grumpy> my dvd drive doesnt seem to be mounted, or i cant burn anything for some rewason
[12:55] <riotkittie> Eminence: > #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support, please
[12:55] <Iceshadow> ruz322: there is one thing i ran into here that might be a problem. The UNIX servers on the AD server have to be enabled
[12:55] <bjron> Grumpy: is that in the repos? I'm not seeing it.
[12:55] <Iceshadow> ah he's gone
[12:55] <dbe> Grumpy: Whats burning program are you trying to use?
[12:55] <Eminence> riotkittie, thanks.
[12:55] <Grumpy> bjorn, is what in the repositories?
[12:56] <Grumpy> dbe, im trying to use the gnome desktop
[12:56] <dbe> Grumpy: Try K3B.
[12:56] <bjron> Grumpy: deluge
[12:56] <Grumpy> dbe will do
[12:57] <Grumpy> bjorn, i cant rmember if i found deluge in the repos. i might have in multiverse
[12:57] <Grumpy> bjorn, i might have compiled from source.
[12:57] <bjron> Grumpy: oh well, looks like they have the relevant packages on the web anyway.  Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try :)
[12:57] <Odd-rationale> Grumpy: are you trying to make a data or video DVD?
[12:57] <Grumpy> data

[12:59] <pulseezar> hi, can anyone answer a few questions for me?
[12:59] <casiox> hallo! questioin: is there a way to set up a video-chat server, like a flash media-server with open-source products?
[12:59] <pulseezar> rather A question
[01:00] <USMarine> !ask
[01:00] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:01] <dbe> casiox: amsn have camera support but the MSN protocol is non-free.
[01:01] <Iceshadow> Ah i have a question. Without Unix Services for Windows enabled on a Windows Server 2003 box, it's not possible to map LDAP authentication against an Ubuntu workstation, true or false?
[01:01] <pulseezar> so to cut a long story short, yesterday  xp totally screwed up on me causing much pain and now i'm using ubuntu of a live cd. I'm thinking I would really like to use it as my main OS, but that I really like to play games. Windows games. Is it possible to play games for windows in ubuntu somehow?
[01:02] <pulseezar> off*
[01:02] <Jammer> !cedega > pulseezar
[01:02] <Demize> pulseezer: Wine works.
[01:02] <Iceshadow> pulseezar: you can try cedega, but i hate it. I dual boot for gaming.
[01:02] <USMarine> !wine
[01:02] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[01:02] <dbe> pulseezar: Whine is an emulator.
[01:02] <Iceshadow> pulseezar: work in linux, play in windows :9
[01:02] <Demize> Wine is not am emulator.
[01:02] <Alkivar> i've got a system with a celeron 366 and 160mb of ram... is it powerful enough to run basic ubuntu? or should i be trying xubuntu on it?
[01:02] <Grumpy> dbe, K3B seems to be doing the trick, thanks
[01:03] <Iceshadow> Demize: Wine is an interface, correct?
[01:03] <dbe> Grumpy: yw.
[01:03] <Demize> Interface?
[01:03] <Alkivar> setting it up for an elderly housebound woman
[01:03] <Grumpy> wine is not an interface
[01:03] <Demize> WIne is Command line.
[01:03] <dbe> Iceshadow: An emulator as said.
[01:03] <casiox> dbe: i search a free software solution
[01:03] <interbird> xubuntu would be more responsive
[01:03] <dbe> casiox: Whine is free.
[01:03] <Iceshadow> I always thought it was a WinAPI interface ><
[01:03] <Iceshadow> sucks to be me
[01:03] <Grumpy> heheheh.....you said Whine
[01:04] <Alkivar> interbird: thanks... thats what i'll try then
[01:04] <Grumpy> whats up with xubuntu over ubuntu?
[01:04] <dbe> Grumpy: Yeah, that was funny.
[01:04] <pulseezar> Oh yeah, I've heard of wine before. Can it run newer games well?
[01:04] <dbe> Grumpy: I have never used it and I'm also Swedish.
[01:05] <vladi_> hello everyone
[01:05] <Grumpy> dbe, whine doesnt run most windows games, but it does runa few popular ones
[01:05] <Demize> !appdb
[01:05] <ubotu> The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[01:05] <dbe> Grumpy: gNewSense is the 100% free dist derived from Ubuntu.
[01:05] <Demize> See that Grumpy.
[01:05] <dbe> Grumpy: Ok.
[01:05] <pulseezar> ok so probs dual boot is best...
[01:05] <vladi_> can you give me some help in matching windows at compiz-fusion's effects?
[01:05] <dbe> Grumpy: I'm very political when it comes to software, my mentor is RMS:
[01:06] <Stevethepirate> Hi, can anyone help me?
[01:06] <dbe> Stevethepirate: Dont ask to ask.
[01:06] <Grumpy> dbe, your not running ubuntu?
[01:06] <dbe> Grumpy: I never did.
[01:06] <Stevethepirate> According to #alsa, i'm missing a module for my soundcard..
[01:06] <pulseezar> also, can anyone point me in the direction of a site that has a good list of free linux apps? I'm going to have to replace a lot of stuff that was windows only...
[01:06] <Grumpy> dbe, thats funny your in here helping ppl solve problems
[01:06] <dbe> Grumpy: I'm just trying to be helpful here when I'm bored.
[01:06] <Grumpy> dbe, your a good soul
[01:07] <dbe> Grumpy: I wrote Sovix (sovix.org). It aims to be part of GNU.
[01:07] <Grumpy> pulseezer, are you running ubuntu?
[01:07] <Stevethepirate> dbe: help me if ur bored... i need to get a module for my sound card..
[01:07] <Grumpy> pulseezar, using ubuntu?
[01:07] <Kworth> I added an Video to my OpenOffice Presentation - but it always crashes if I try to open that slide - where can I find the video settings for open office? or how do I remove it?
[01:08] <pulseezar> at the moment from a live cd, but once o've shoved all my old windows files onto an external drive i'm going to install proper.
[01:08] <Grumpy> what kind of applications did you use?
[01:08] <dbe> pulseezar: davidenglund.org/Collection_of_free_software is my recommendations
[01:08] <pulseezar> erm..so yes!
 what i mean is an server with a conference-room site. a multiuser-video-chat solution
[01:08] <dbe> pulseezar: I've spent years on that collection.
[01:08] <fiXXXerMet> With modprobe, you can specify card=.  Where I can find a list of the values that card= accepts?
[01:09] <PinkFloyd> Im running the Gutsy beta and Ive already done upgrades several times. However, there are 4 packages being kept back. Is it ok to force install them or should I wait?
[01:09] <Muhammad> if some one noticed what I will write please help me
[01:09] <dbe> casiox: I dont know of any, please let me know if you find any. My email is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:09] <pulseezar> i need programs to use bit torrent, soul seek network, cd ripping/playing/mp3 tagging (something like fubar 2000?),

[01:10] <pulseezar> like rainlendar
[01:10] <Grumpy> pulseezar , most everything as far as office and regular computer utilities are available free for linux. its just windows games where you will fall short
[01:10] <casiox> dbe: ok
[01:10] <Stevethepirate> pulseezar: utorrent, ?, amarok, nero linux 3
[01:10] <Grumpy> utorrent only runs in wine
[01:11] <Grumpy> though i love utorrent, im using deluge since its native
[01:11] <MoTec> azereus seemed to work for me, a while back...
[01:11] <Mexandrew> Good afternoon, gents. I need a bit of assistance setting up the open source "ati" driver for Radeon cards under Kubuntu. I cannot get glxinfo to report that there's direct rendering.  Help via private messages will be greatly appreciated
[01:11] <pulseezar> yeah, i used utorrrent before but it sounds like hassle to run under wine
[01:11] <Grumpy> azureus is java based, and i have had major problems getting the JRE in my path and azureus to recognize it\
[01:11] <Stevethepirate> !pm | Mexandrew
[01:11] <ubotu> Mexandrew: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[01:11] <Grumpy> deluge has been my answer, written in python
[01:12] <Mexandrew> Oh. Well, I'll provide details. I've followed instructions on theubuntu wiki to set up my ati driver
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> !ati | Mexandrew
[01:12] <ubotu> Mexandrew: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> schwiz: be a bit more specific,
[01:13] <Mexandrew> Err, I'm using a Radeon 9250. It doesn't seem to be supported by fglrx.
[01:13] <Muhammad> :(
[01:13] <dbe> Mexandrew: AMD bought ATI last year so all newer cards will have free drivers soon
[01:13] <Muhammad> can any one help me :(
[01:13] <dbe> Muhammad: Dont ask to ask.

[01:14] <Grumpy> pulseezar
[01:14] <dbe> jstarcher: Try #gnu if its under GNU GPL.
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> schwiz: did you boot it to the desktop?
[01:15] <schwiz> Its not installed yet so i just tried the live boot
[01:15] <jstarcher> dbe, what? why?
[01:15] <darkcrab> i dont like bittorrent
[01:15] <darkcrab> too slow
[01:15] <dbe> jstarcher: Because they are hackers.
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> schwiz: ok, thats what i asked, when you booted the Live CD, did you get all the way to the desktop?
[01:15] <Muhammad> for any one who use ubuntu  help me   I can't boot my ubuntu as I changed the hard disk to another case and for sure it can't boot
[01:15] <MT_head> have it setup to use wvdial
[01:15] <schwiz> Indy: no after the kernal loads i get a blank screen
[01:15] <jstarcher> dbe, haha that's all i need to know, thanks :)
[01:16] <Mexandrew> dbe: I wonder what I should do, really... the ATi page for fglrx says there's no support for my card, yet the wiki claims my card is fully supported for both 2D and 3D acceleration for RV280 (mentions only 9200 and 9200SE, not 9250 but it is rv280 based too)
[01:16] <rahul> yo any 1 know how to change ur name in irc
[01:16] <dbe> jstarcher: I'm one i the commuity but trying to help as many as possible here right now.
[01:16] <schwiz> indy:I was trying to get to the desktopthough
[01:16] <rahul> like ur username
[01:16] <fhClient> rahul: /name
[01:16] <Vimto> guys im installing the system and i got blank screen
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> schwiz: ok...
[01:16] <darkcrab> ubuntu has ati drivers built in.
[01:16] <Vimto> what does this mean
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> schwiz: can you start in safe graphics mode?
[01:16] <dbe> Mexandrew: I cant help you, I dont even use 3D support for my own ATI card.
[01:16] <crdlb> Mexandrew, your card is supported by the open source driver
[01:16] <schwiz> indy: tried that as well I got the same results
[01:17] <jstarcher> dbe, ahh i just fixed it....removed the .wine dir and ran winecfg again and it worked this time....thanks though!
[01:17] <[Seb] > hi im back i had no luck finding ndiswrapper on the live cd
[01:17] <dbe> jstarcher: np.
[01:17] <Mexandrew> crdlb: I know, I tried using them, followed the wiki article about teh open source drivers for it
[01:17] <darkcrab> its not on the live cd
[01:17] <Mexandrew> I didn't manage to get direct rendering, though.
[01:17] <fhClient> Hi.  I have a very quick question: how do I set a user's umask on a permanent basis?
[01:17] <Kudak> what exactly is MySQL ???
[01:17] <[Seb] > nope
[01:17] <schwiz> indy:someone told me earlier to try 7.10 instead so I downloaded that but when I try to install it, it can't detect my raid array...
[01:17] <darkcrab> thats what I am saying, its not on there.
[01:17] <dbe> fhClient: umask?
[01:17] <schwiz> I have a partition all ready for the install but it sees 3 seperate disks instead of the array
[01:18] <Nemesis> automatrix has it
[01:18] <astro76> schwiz, you need the alternate install cd to install on raid
[01:18] <Vimto> i got an error says, somethings such as themes, sounds or background may  not work correctly
[01:18] <fhClient> dbe: default permissions for files and directories created by the user
[01:18] <crdlb> Mexandrew, did you remove fglrx?
[01:18] <Vimto> what can i do ?
[01:18] <astro76> !automatix | Nemesis
[01:18] <ubotu> Nemesis: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[01:18] <IndyGunFreak> schwiz: well, the only time ive ever had a prob installing Ubuntu, was with Raid, so sorry i can't be much help
[01:18] <Mexandrew> crdlb: Yes, followed the instructions to remove it.
[01:18] <[Seb] > what do i do now
[01:18] <crdlb> Mexandrew, well try again, I may be able to tell you what's wrong
[01:19] <darkcrab> you cant use ndiswrapper with the livecd
[01:19] <schwiz> anyone know what i need to install on a raid 0 partition dual booting w/ vista?
[01:19] <IndyGunFreak> !raid
[01:19] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:19] <rahul> rahul! change name
[01:19] <Mexandrew> crdlb: Okay, changing from vesa to ati driver, following instructions on wiki again, I'll be right back.
[01:19] <rahul> rahul!
[01:19] <Vimto> i got an error says, somethings such as themes, sounds or background may  not work correctly. what to do now?
[01:19] <rahul> change name
[01:19] <dbe> darkcrab: Get ATI cards to avoid non-free software.
[01:19] <schwiz> thanks for the link
[01:19] <IndyGunFreak> uh?.. ATI is "less free" than Nvidia.
[01:19] <fhClient> never mind, i think i figured it out.
[01:19] <PinkFloyd> Im running the Gutsy beta and Ive already done upgrades several times. However, there are 4 packages being kept back. Is it ok to force install them or should I wait?
[01:19] <[Seb] > how do i get it to linux now if i cant download it via the package manager
[01:19] <Stevethepirate> PinkFloyd: hold back
[01:19] <Stevethepirate> well
[01:20] <Stevethepirate> what are they?
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> why are they being kept back?
[01:20] <dbe> [Seb] : What are you talking about?
[01:20] <Stevethepirate> if they're ubuntu-desktop
[01:20] <Tb0n3> ok guys, I'm having a problem compiling gpsd from source and I'm getting errors in the make phase
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> and yes, what are they?
[01:20] <[Seb] > ndiswrapper
[01:20] <Stevethepirate> then you can't really keep them back
[01:20] <Mega_pain> can anyone help me install my windows xp internet driver so i can find the rest of the drivers
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> whyd o you want to keep them back?
[01:20] <PinkFloyd> Stevethepirate , libcegui-mk2-dev linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic ntfs3-g
[01:20] <darkcrab> you can download ndiswrapper via package manager if you install ubuntu to your computer.
[01:20] <Tb0n3> ld doesn't recognise -lncurses
[01:20] <Mega_pain> i got the driver just dont know where to put in
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> PinkFloyd: i would just install them...
[01:21] <schwiz> arg that link has instuctions on how to set up raid once you have linux installed.  I need instructions on how to install linux on a raid partition :(
[01:21] <dbe> Mega_pain: Neve ask for Windows support in a GNU/Linux channel, try #windows.
[01:21] <Stevethepirate> PinkFloyd: you might need the ntfs-3g
[01:21] <Mega_pain> i dont get windows dood
[01:21] <Muhammad> I changed my case but didn't chaneged the hard disk  so can I still run ubuntu       I can't boot it with the new case ???????????????

[01:23] <PinkFloyd> Stevethepirate, it's a kernel upgrade from 2.6.22-13 to 14
[01:23] <Stevethepirate> PinkFloyd: hmm, maybe force that in particular
[01:23] <Tb0n3> http://pastebin.com/d5a3b8313 I get that when I try to make, I can't see a solution
[01:23] <darkcrab> ok, then you will have to download either the source or the .deb packages of ndiswrapper and compile them that way.
[01:23] <Muhammad> looks like that I will leave this chat without any help :(
[01:23] <PinkFloyd> Stevethepirate I forced all 4 of them
[01:23] <Stevethepirate> although i read something about ntfs-3g today
[01:23] <Stevethepirate> lols
[01:23] <Mega_pain> so anyone would like to tell me where to put the driver for internet and how to install it on windows xp
[01:23] <Stevethepirate> PinkFloyd: GL then

[01:25] <Vimto> is*
[01:25] <scoglio> Thank you!
[01:25] <gokhan_> is there a way to see if i enabled my wireless card on my laptop or not by some command?
[01:25] <dbe> Mega_pain: /join #windows.
[01:25] <Vimto> im always rebooting from the disk and i can not get the system installed!
[01:26] <darkcrab> Seb, installing from source is very different, and you have to do it from command line, just make sure you search the forums on how to do it before you start to install, for the .deb package, yes, there are many other .deb packages required to install it. It is really complicated but if you cannot download it from synaptic you basically have no other option.
[01:26] <bob__> is there a way to bind a key to open a console window?
[01:26] <Muhammad> my bad :(
[01:26] <gokhan_> is there a way to see if i enabled my wireless card on my laptop by some command?
[01:26] <astro76> Muhammad, what happens when you boot now?
[01:26] <ChaosParser> gokhan_: go into a terminal and type iwlist scanning
[01:26] <Muhammad> notthing
[01:26] <FatalCure> gokhan_: look for meaningful output from "iwlist scanning"
[01:26] <dbe> bob__: Use commands from Alt-F2 instead.
[01:26] <Muhammad> it stooped
[01:26] <dbe> bob__: Alt-2*
[01:27] <[Seb] > lol il see if u can plug my moden back how it was befor i got the router and stuff and see if it will work again
[01:27] <darkcrab> I would also look around and see if you can download the firmware for you wireless device.
[01:27] <gokhan_> ChaosParser, it says "no scan results"
[01:27] <astro76> bob__, console or do you mean an x terminal?
[01:27] <bob__> i'm not sure
[01:27] <bob__> command line would be the windows equiv
[01:28] <[Seb] > il be back if i cant get my modem to work again
[01:28] <astro76> bob__, the one in applications > accessories > terminal, you can bind a key by going to system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[01:28] <darkcrab> k
[01:28] <bob__> that's exactly what i want
[01:28] <bob__> awesome
[01:28] <dbe> bob__: Alt-F2 > gnome-terminal.
[01:28] <astro76> that's not what he wants
[01:28] <bob__> i hit alt+F2
[01:29] <bob__> but that's bringing up what is liek the Run command in windows
[01:29] <bob__> i want the interactive shell thingie
[01:29] <bob__> terminal
[01:29] <Mexandrew> crdlb: I'm back on the radeondriver. I'm using these options: ["XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"] ["AccelMethod" "XAA"] ["ColorTiling" "on"] ["GARTSize" "0"]
[01:29] <ChaosParser> gokhan_: Does it say device does not support scanning?
[01:29] <astro76> bob__, there's already an entry for gnome terminal in Keyboard Shortcuts, just have to set the key
[01:29] <darkcrab> anybody play egoboo?
[01:29] <crdlb> Mexandrew, you don't need any of those except for the first one
[01:30] <crdlb> Mexandrew, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:30] <thesaint4444> hi guys, can anyone give me an example of an ip alias /etc/network file, I want to add eth0:0 as an ip alias on my network.... thanks..
[01:30] <MasterShrek> i used to darkcrab
[01:30] <dbe> bob__: You execute 'cmd' in windows after Win-r, you execuete 'gnome-terminal' in GNOME after Alt-F2.
[01:30] <gokhan_> ChaosParser, no it doesn't say that, what it says exactly is "wlan0     No scan results"
[01:30] <Muhammad> astro76  I can tell you exactly what I did
[01:30] <darkcrab> do you happen to know of a fix for the transparent characters bug?
[01:31] <MasterShrek> no idea darkcrab i havent played it in awhile, downloading now....
[01:31] <darkcrab> k
[01:32] <Mexandrew> crdlb: http://rafb.net/p/I6W0l826.html
[01:32] <Mexandrew> wait
[01:32] <Mexandrew> ugh, it was not complete, crdlb
[01:32] <Mexandrew> Sorry, repasting
[01:32] <unagi> ubuntu gave me a blue screen error.......what do i do
[01:32] <crdlb> heh ok
[01:32] <bob__> I have tried binding a couple different things, but when i hit the key combo nothing pops up, could beryl be getting in the way or something?
[01:33] <unagi> people stll run beryl?
[01:33] <unagi> ew
[01:33] <astro76> unagi, you must be running windows unknowingly if you got a blue screen
[01:33] <darkcrab> i run compiz
[01:33] <FatalCure> beryl avoids blue screen errors ;P
[01:33] <unagi> beryl locks me up
[01:33] <unagi> or it did
[01:33] <unagi> which is why i stopped using it
[01:33] <unagi> but compiz fusion is yum
[01:34] <Inferno> I'd love to have CF
[01:34] <Muhammad> I can't boot my ubuntu  and I know why  but I don't know how to slove this problem :(
[01:34] <bob__> no problems here, but i heard them and compiz reformed like voltron?  havn't had time to look into it
[01:34] <unagi> why not get it
[01:34] <Inferno> But it's not ocmpatible with Dapper or my video card
[01:34] <Inferno> Although I'm not sure about the video card
[01:34] <astro76> Muhammad, how far does the booting get, before grub?
[01:34] <f0rtune> Hi, Im using gproftpd, is there a way to let a user access all folders and files, without having to list every folder in the 'users' tab?
[01:34] <Inferno> might just need drivers or whatever linux needs
[01:34] <Inferno> Oh wow
[01:34] <darkcrab> you know what I have noticed. A lot of people that come in here dont look up there problem on the forums before they come in here.
[01:35] <Inferno> I just noticed I'm in the wrong channel xD
[01:35] <astro76> darkcrab, no kidding :p
[01:35] <Hoosteen> ok..i want my volumes to display on my desktop but currently they do not. I've got the volumes_visible option ticked in gconf but it's not making a difference...any ideas? cdrom and usb drives show up fine...
[01:36] <astro76> Hoosteen, what is not showing up?
[01:36] <Mexandrew> crdlb: This is complete paste: http://rafb.net/p/vGxQED49.html
[01:36] <f0rtune> how do i allow a user to access all files and folders with gproftpd?
[01:36] <Muhammad> I really don't know  but was booting this it stooped and flash the screen
[01:36] <Hoosteen> astro76: my HDD volumes
[01:36] <Hoosteen> astro76: hda1, hda2 and hda3
[01:36] <crdlb> Mexandrew, you have the nvidia driver installed
[01:37] <crdlb> which clobbers mesa glx
[01:37] <Muhammad> I will tell you what I did
[01:37] <pike_> f0rtune: i assume there is a config file in /etc/ but youd need to check man page 'man gproftpd' or google or whatever sorry i dunno if many here will be familiar with that ftp server
[01:37] <Mexandrew> crdlb: O_o hell, that's right... I forgot to remove it after replacing my video card
[01:37] <crdlb> Mexandrew, sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-legacy
[01:37] <crdlb> then sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgl1-mesa-glx
[01:37] <Mexandrew> crdlb: I feel like such an idiot...  removing that
[01:38] <Muhammad> I tock the hard disk and put it in another case and boot from it
[01:38] <crdlb> :)
[01:38] <pike_> f0rtune: consider openssh-server as an alternative you can then use sftp and scp  winscp is a popular windows client for it
[01:38] <FatalCure> Muhammad: Select Recovery mode from the boot menu, once it boots:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:38] <dbe> pike_: Heard bout ReactOS?
[01:39] <Vimto> how can i install the system onto windows xp?

[01:40] <Muhammad> I will try   but you know   I think this happened becuase the devics was not the same
[01:40] <twoshadetod> Vimto, you just download the .iso, burn it onto disk and reboot your computer with it in yer drive
[01:40] <dbe> pike_: I cant wait til its being released, Its goint to effect the whole windows addicted maket with a free windows subsitute.
[01:40] <pike_> dbe: not much.
[01:40] <Muhammad> but what this code do ?

[01:40] <Meroigo> I'm getting two SyncMaster 997DF 19" monitors soon. Are they 100% compatible with ubuntu? =P..
[01:40] <Mexandrew> crdlb: Done, and done removing unnecesary options from xorg.conf, so, time to restart the X server?
[01:40] <Vimto> unagi, you mean i need to do something before rebooting from the disk?
[01:40] <boris55> is ubuntu+1 still around?
[01:41] <astro76> boris55, indeed
[01:41] <unagi> you need to shrink the ntfs file system
[01:41] <pike_> Muhammad: vesa is the safe choice for driver usually if you run into problems
[01:41] <DM|> Anyone know what mount option i should put in nautillus to have a USB HDD to mount under a non root group id
[01:41] <crdlb> Mexandrew, yes
[01:41] <Mexandrew> Okay, BRB
[01:41] <boris55> thanks
[01:41] <unagi> its easier to do that with the xp cd than it is with the live cd
[01:41] <Vimto> unagi alright, i need to put the windows disk first to do that, then i reboot ubuntu disk, am i right?
[01:42] <bob__> after assigning a new hotkey in keyboard preferences, do i need to restart a service or something?  It is not working
[01:42] <unagi> you put in the windows disk.......shrink the ntfs partition.........reboot into ubuntu........install using the 'largest continuous free space'

[01:43] <unagi> bob__: are you using compiz?
[01:43] <[seb] > hi im no my laptop no luck with the modem
[01:43] <bob__> currently in beryl, should i turn that off?
[01:43] <unagi> no.......use beryl's options for the shortcut
[01:43] <[seb] > can u take me thru what im ment to do
[01:43] <Mexandrew> crdlb: It works! Thanks a lot, and sorry for being such a newbie, but I really wanna start using Kubuntumore and more every day
[01:44] <bob__> ah yeah, in metacity it works, i'll figure it out in beryl, ty
[01:44] <pike_> [seb] : winmodems can be painful
[01:44] <darkcrab> I mean, I cant tell you 100% seb, but probably at this point search on the forums for either the firmware for your wireless device or instructions for installing ndiswrapper from source.
[01:44] <Mexandrew> Just like the wiki says, glxinfo | grep vendor reports SGI
[01:44] <pike_> [seb] : seen the dialup howto?
[01:44] <[seb] > its not dialup
[01:44] <musashi_> wth
[01:44] <musashi_> :<
[01:45] <pike_> [seb] : dsl?
[01:45] <crdlb> Mexandrew, great :)
[01:45] <[seb] > cable
[01:45] <wers> I want to put my font settings back to default. Other than .fonts.conf, what file do I delete?
[01:45] <musashi_> i keep getting messages from syslogd@DaJi, that they are dissabling IRQ #7 or something similar to that
[01:45] <musashi_> what does that mean
[01:45] <monkeyBox> Is there a reason why ubuntu doesn't have an init script for subversion server/
[01:45] <pike_> [seb] : ah.  that should be easy normally
[01:45] <pike_> [seb] : usb or ethernet?
[01:45] <darkcrab> the best information your going to find is on the forums, not in chat.
[01:45] <Mexandrew> crdlb andeveryone, thanks for your assistance. I shall nwo start tweaking my options and enjoy my new card under Kubuntu
[01:46] <darkcrab> chat should be a last ditch effort.
[01:46] <Mexandrew> Thanks again, goodbye!
[01:46] <darkcrab> when you are at your wits end.
[01:46] <musashi_> really =o? i always come here first :x

[01:47] <[seb] > sorry usb adapter nor router
[01:47] <acuster> hey all, how does one go from a tar.gz to a .deb?
[01:47] <Muhammad> Pike: how can enter the safe mode
[01:47] <dbe> [seb] : Linksys has free wireless routers.
[01:47] <pike_> [seb] : yeah i can see that. i normally go with a or g for linux.
[01:47] <jhou> [seb] ,  wahts the moddel number?
[01:47] <[seb] > um let me find out
[01:47] <pike_> Muhammad: im not too familiar with the safe grahics mode i can walk you though reconfiging x if you have a question
[01:48] <FatalCure> acuster: untar it, ./configure, make, sudo checkinstall
[01:48] <FatalCure> !checkinstall | acuster
[01:48] <ubotu> acuster: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

[01:48] <musashi_> crap

[01:49] <pike_> Muhammad: what is your video card? ati or intel or nvidia?
[01:49] <Muhammad> I was thinking it is problem with drivers as it is not the same
[01:50] <Muhammad> nvidia
[01:50] <[seb] > jhou: f5d8053 is the modle of the usb adapter
[01:50] <astro76> Muhammad, you said new case but what else changed? video card, motherboard, etc... ?
[01:50] <FatalCure> Muhammad: did you try what I told you?
[01:50] <pike_> Muhammad: nvidia should be easy
[01:51] <pike_> Muhammad: are you at the command line now?

[01:54] <MasterShrek> but u gotta pay for cedega
[01:55] <pike_> Muhammad: select i mean

[01:57] <kitche> it's not hard to compile software on linux just make sure your --prefix=/usr/local/
[01:57] <Mega_pain> ok i got wine now how do i run stuff in to it
[01:57] <bulmer> darkcrab: what are you referring to?
[01:57] <darkcrab> sorry, not trying to scare jhou, just prevent him from screwing up his sytem.
[01:57] <Crippy-boy> Only if you don't read the docs and it's almost always fixable.
[01:57] <jhou> : P
[01:58] <bulmer> darkcrab not that easy
[01:58] <darkcrab> package errors, missing parts of the package, making sure you have all the needed tools pre-compiling.
[01:58] <[per0las] > Someone knows why when i press ctrl + alt + left key the works spaces go from 1 workspace to 3 workspace. go 2 and 2 at the same time ... and not to the workspace next close
[01:58] <jhou> for the most part if configure doenst work or make
[01:58] <jhou> ur still okay
[01:58] <eauxnguyen_> any advice on ipod connecting to 7.04 my fstab?
[01:58] <lesshaste> how do I just the microphone volume settings in xfce?
[01:58] <Crippy-boy> Yep, chances are if there are missing deps etc configure will bitch.
[01:58] <kitche> [per0las] : ctrl+alt+left means goes backwards so it will go to 3 from 1 2 from 3 and so on
[01:59] <[seb] > wichsection of that tut do i look at
[01:59] <eauxnguyen_> followed the two walk throughs found on the ubuntu site
[01:59] <darkcrab> yea, you can do a sudo make uninstall
[01:59] <Crippy-boy> Isn't there a precompiled package for ubuntu anyways?
[01:59] <thesaint4444> does anyone know if you have to use the 'auto eth0' definition twice in the network file for ip aliasing?
[01:59] <darkcrab> he doesnt have access to the internet.
[01:59] <Crippy-boy> I've never needed ndis so I wouldn't know but I'd assume so?
[01:59] <jhou> [seb] ,  2.2 tells u waht files to downlaod and tranfer to the ubuntu box and install ndiswrapper
[01:59] <tongueroo> trying to use the "dig google.com mx" command
[01:59] <[per0las] > kitche do you now how can i change this?!
[01:59] <tongueroo> but not install
[01:59] <cafuego> eauxnguyen_: Um, it automounts to the desktop, does it not?
[01:59] <Crippy-boy> deb package + flash drive/cd/other storage media?
[02:00] <tongueroo> anyone know which package i need to install?
[02:00] <[seb] > thanks
[02:00] <jhou> np
[02:00] <kitche> [per0las] : use ctrl+alt+right instead?
[02:00] <eauxnguyen_> yes it does
[02:00] <eauxnguyen_> I find it in mtab
[02:00] <[seb] > il be in touch when linux screws up my bios again lol
[02:00] <darkcrab> the ndiswrapper .deb package has a lot of dependencies outside of ubuntu
[02:00] <jhou> hohoho
[02:00] <[per0las] > kitche that what im using :x ctrl+alt+right :x
[02:00] <eauxnguyen_> I can browse it I just can't get gtkpod or amarok to find it
[02:00] <cafuego> eauxnguyen_: yes, it's not treated like fixed disks, it's automounted to /media/ipod
[02:01] <jhou> yeah but this doc tells you which dep debs to download
[02:01] <cafuego> eauxnguyen_: Just tell gtkpod that's where it lives.
[02:01] <kitche> eauxnguyen_: is this a newer ipod?
[02:01] <[seb] > so do i just dl those 3 files
[02:01] <eauxnguyen_> tried a specific entry in fstab pointing to media/ipod and pointed gtkpod at that
[02:01] <jhou> think so
[02:01] <jhou> not entirely sure
[02:01] <eauxnguyen_> it's 6th gen 2gb (silver)
[02:02] <kitche> eauxnguyen_: what's the 6th gen? sicne that doesn't tell me much :)
[02:02] <cafuego> eauxnguyen_: gtkpod has *nothing* to do with fstab. You just need to tell it where the pod is automounted.
[02:02] <[seb] > ahhhh were do i click to dl the file
[02:02] <[seb] > nvm
[02:02] <hvgotcodes> is there a theme pack for feisty (gnome)?
[02:02] <cafuego> eauxnguyen_: However, it's possible you need a newer gtkpod (build the svn version, see if that works)
[02:02] <kitche> eauxnguyen_: just wondering since the newer ipods don't work with linux programs really right now
[02:02] <darkcrab> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/
[02:02] <pike_> why o why cant people create tiff files within the standards!!
[02:02] <darkcrab> seb, click on that
[02:03] <eauxnguyen_> cafuego: understood. I just thought that might tell it where it is automounted.
[02:03] <jhou> [seb] ,  the links in a table its like...under achitecture the link name is "all"
[02:03] <Crippy-boy> I'm off. :)
[02:03] <jhou> : )
[02:03] <misfitpierce> farewell
[02:03] <eauxnguyen_> kitche: it's a refurb model so not too new? model # isn't listed in gtkpod so that may be the issue
[02:03] <pike_> ach sorry thought i was in offtopic
[02:03] <Crippy-boy> Take care, happy hackin'
[02:03] <eauxnguyen_> model # is A1199
[02:03] <Elven> hi, anyone knows how to make Compiz-fusion works better on a geforce 8800. It looks like the 2d effects are working just on the CPU
[02:03] <jj420> can anyone help me with compiz-fusion on feisty?
[02:04] <hvgotcodes> anyone, how to get gnome themes for feisty?
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> !compiz
[02:04] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:04] <darkcrab> i just turned it on and it worked.
[02:04] <eauxnguyen_> I will go check out the svn for gtkpod. I don't know if amarok would be any happier. Both don't find it
[02:04] <kdubois> why are we still advising XGL?
[02:04] <[seb] > now geting them on my memstick
[02:04] <kitche> hvgotcodes: gnome-look.org is one of the sites to get themes
[02:05] <kitche> kdubois: people still use XGL
[02:05] <Elven> !compiz
[02:05] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:05] <danielbw> is compiz not availbale for xinerama and nvidia
[02:05] <kdubois> yeah, but we should be encouraging AIGLX usage if at all possible
[02:05] <darkcrab> that is one thing I didnt understand, how do you install a compiz theme?
[02:05] <kdubois> its a lot easier
[02:05] <danielbw> is there something special i have to to make it work with xinerama
[02:05] <hvgotcodes> kitche: im talking about a theme pack?
[02:05] <kitche> hvgotcodes: as I said gnome-look.org
[02:06] <[mayh3m] pt> What do I need to install to be able to compile things?
[02:06] <unagi> is there any place i can see the major changes in 7.1?
[02:06] <VSpike> Could feisty and gutsy share the same /boot and /root?
[02:06] <unagi> oops
[02:06] <unagi> is there talk of hibernation actually working in 7.1?
[02:06] <kdubois> [mayh3m] pt: libtool g++ automake for starters
[02:06] <jhou> VSpike, uh..theoretical or are you actually going to try this?
[02:06] <[seb] > right their on the ubuntu system now what
[02:06] <hvgotcodes> kitche:  yeah ive been all over that site.  looking for a good dark theme that doesn't make eclipse unusable
[02:06] <[mayh3m] pt> kdubois: is that like if i downloaded something and i need to type ./configure to install it?
[02:07] <fiXXXerMet> I installed teamspeak from apt-get but I don't know how to get it working with my usb headset/microphone
[02:07] <jhou> [seb] ,  same document.....same section 2.2 there are 3 commands in a gray box
[02:07] <VSpike> jhou: was thinking about installing gutsy in parallel for testing, and also have been thinking for a while about using LVM
[02:07] <[seb] > kk
[02:07] <jhou> copy each line individually seb
[02:07] <jhou> and enter ur password
[02:07] <[seb] > ok
[02:07] <hvgotcodes> whats the theme on ubuntustudio?
[02:08] <jhou> VSpike, in theory its  ...
[02:08] <jhou> uh
[02:08] <jhou> no clue
[02:08] <VSpike> jhou: Some people suggested that it made sense to have /boot outside LVM
[02:08] <kdubois> [mayh3m] pt: yes. you may need to get individual libraries for what you are compiling
[02:08] <jhou> yeah
[02:08] <jhou> roots no worries
[02:08] <jhou> but
[02:08] <kdubois> [mayh3m] pt: what are you trying to compile?
[02:08] <VSpike> jhou: tbh I'm not sure I see what use it would be
[02:08] <jhou> boots hairy
[02:08] <jhou> why dontu try a virtual machine?
[02:08] <[seb] > do i have to do it via comand line or can i use the gui thing
[02:08] <VSpike> jhou: well, it's possible to have several kernels in /boot - it all depends on what grub says to do
[02:09] <nomaS> how can do, to write "ls" and show me folders with colors ?
[02:09] <jhou> u should use command line....like the uh gnome terminal
[02:09] <jhou> or something
[02:09] <thesaint4444> if you manually edit the /etc/network file can you bring the new ip alias up with ifconfig eth:1 up?
[02:09] <kdubois> nomaS: ls --colot
[02:09] <VSpike> jhou: grub specifies which kernel and initrd to load, and which parition to mount as root .. so I figure it would be OK
[02:09] <kdubois> nomaS: ls -color
[02:09] <nomaS> i just add that to with alias?
[02:09] <jhou> well VSpike one way to find out : )
[02:09] <VSpike> jhou: reason for not using VM is I want to test on my hardware and also possibly to switch to the gutsy install when its stable
[02:10] <Red> hello
[02:10] <kdubois> nomaS: i am sorry. i keep typo-ing alias ls="ls --color" will work
[02:10] <VSpike> jhou: I fancy a clean install rather than an upgrade
[02:10] <VSpike> jhou: yah, coudl just try it out :) I'm not sure, just considering all possibilities
[02:10] <nomaS> i need to do that on root ? and then it will shows to all other users on the dedicated server?
[02:10] <jhou> VSpike, theres like ways to load actual partitions as VM with vmware...seems kinda cool but never tried
[02:10] <nomaS> kdubois : i need to do that on root ? and then it will shows to all other users on the dedicated server?
[02:11] <VSpike> jhou: yeah, I did that before with Windows.  It's OK, but you don't want to also have the partition mounted by the host OS
[02:11] <[seb] > um laptop battery is low so what do i do once its installed
[02:11] <VSpike> jhou: windows guest on ubuntu, I should say
[02:11] <lee__> oh ok so this isthe one that runs the shaded background
[02:12] <komputes> How should I test software that gives me "no assurance - no guarantees" that it will work (without messing up my Ubuntu Box?)
[02:12] <jhou> VSpike, good stuff :)
[02:12] <kdubois> nomaS: you might have to modify a file for all the users on the dedicated server, something like .bashrc
[02:13] <sandra> join #ubuntu-classroom
[02:13] <jhou> [seb] , with that installed u should be able to follwo the rest of the document...i think u shold try the drivers that came on the CD with the wifi card

[02:16] <azzman> mheath what kinda tablet ya got? all my issues are with the HP tablets at work
[02:17] <steve1> trip, you make 2 extera partition one for the swap and one for the "/" Root
[02:17] <mheath> azzman: Searched already. It's a Toshiba M200.
[02:17] <jhou> trip-trippin, did u designate the mountpoint?
[02:17] <komputes> Whats your favorite method to safely test untested software.
[02:18] <trip-trippin> what do you mean 2 extra partition?
[02:18] <Rueshard> anyone here help with a unbuntu installation?
[02:18] <steve1> well if you have windows installed then needs to be another two partitions
[02:18] <trip-trippin> i have
[02:18] <r0bby> Rueshard: well you can start by asking..
[02:18] <steve1> one with atleast 256mb in size
[02:19] <steve1> for the swap
[02:19] <Rueshard> Haha thanks r0bby
[02:19] <r0bby> !ask > Rueshard
[02:19] <trip-trippin> what is swap?
[02:19] <r0bby> !swap
[02:19] <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
[02:19] <darkcrab> what do you think is a good size for the home folder?
[02:19] <kdubois> i remember the good old days before #ubuntu became the most crowded place on the interwebs....

[02:25] <[seb] > dont u mean lsusb
[02:25] <krumar> yes
[02:25] <DM|> jrib the thing is.. its mounting fine, but no matter what option i choose its still telling me that its read only
[02:25] <jj420> i asked for help 20 mins ago and no one has even typed a word
[02:25] <krumar> on linux your not going to get a virus, it was hard for me to accept to when i first changed over
[02:26] <pulseezar> cos a horrible virus is the reason i'm now on ubuntu!
[02:26] <jhou> oh
[02:26] <jhou> yeah
[02:26] <trip-trippin> well can anyone tell me how do i define the root file system???
[02:26] <jhou> tohguht uw ere on a dekstop using a pci card
[02:26] <pulseezar> so i'm a little jumpy right now!
[02:26] <komputes> if you are paranoid or play with windows kids read this
[02:26] <krumar> you also shouldn't need to worry about spyware
[02:26] <komputes> http://www.debianadmin.com/avast-antivirus-for-ubuntu-desktop.html
[02:26] <jhou> trip-trippin, click on the partion u want and at the mount point field enter "/"
[02:26] <[seb] > it is a desktop but with out ethernet and the router came with a usb adapter
[02:26] <jhou> ic ic
[02:26] <komputes> but basically ubuntu is safe out of the box and is updated, just update and you'll (probably) be fine
[02:27] <jhou> lsusb
[02:27] <[seb] > right i see my usb dongle
[02:27] <jrib> DM|: you need to set the umask
[02:27] <jhou> does it report the adapter?
[02:27] <mrj> pulseezar, you'll break ubuntu yourself, you don't need a virus to do it
[02:27] <[seb] > ye
[02:27] <pulseezar> lol
[02:27] <[seb] > 050d:8053
[02:27] <snollux> Hi. I can't log in via GDM. It says that it was unable to open my authorization file for writing. Which file is this, and what could cause it?
[02:27] <pulseezar> how about a firewall?
[02:27] <krumar> pulseezar: it's built in
[02:27] <jhou> ndiswrapper -l    reports hardware not present?
[02:27] <komputes> mrj - LOLS
[02:27] <krumar> you should get firestarter to configure it though
[02:28] <[seb] > do u want we to type that in?
[02:28] <darkcrab> ndiswrapper is specifically for when ubuntu does not report the hardware.
[02:28] <trip-trippin> jhou THANK YOU! finally!
[02:28] <pulseezar> firestarter cheers
[02:28] <DM|> jrib what should i put in
[02:28] <DM|> jrib nm got it
[02:28] <darkcrab> it is possible ndiswrapper does not support the drivers unless you have not installed them yet.
[02:29] <jrib> !support > jj420 (read the private message from ubotu)
[02:29] <jhou> wait a minute
[02:29] <propagandhi> gday people, I have an insmod command that I want to be run everytime I boot to load a module to the kernel with arguments. I know that it cant be place in /etc/modules because that uses modprobe and i cant provide arguments.
[02:29] <jhou> it might be the kernels loaded the wrong modules for it?
[02:29] <propagandhi> where can i set it up
[02:29] <komputes> irc://irc.freenode.net/pulseezar,isnick http://digg.com/linux_unix/How_to_Install_AVG_free_anti_virus_in_Ubuntu
[02:29] <[seb] > good god
[02:29] <darkcrab> yea, it is very important to get the modules running correctly.
[02:29] <[seb] > what do i do now
[02:30] <MasterShrek> propagandhi, you can add the command to /etc/rc.local
[02:30] <darkcrab> did ndiswrapper install your drivers seb
[02:30] <[seb] > ye it installed them but says the hareware aint their
[02:30] <jhou> yeah but its not detecting thehwardware
[02:30] <pulseezar> thanks komputes
[02:30] <MasterShrek> propagandhi, but it wont be loaded until right before gdm starts or right after, somewhere near the end of the boot sequence
[02:30] <jhou> u know what
[02:30] <jhou> try
[02:30] <komputes> thats another one pulseezar, as you can see not very famous because people on linux ae smart enough not to get viruses. they are almost non-existent

[02:30] <krumar> pulseezar: i would recommend taking a look online about viruses on linux
[02:31] <trip-trippin> how the swap partition is marked?
[02:31] <propagandhi> MasterShrek: lol, woops i definitely should have thought of that, sorry I've been working on this for about 9 hours now. I'm wondering if that will be timely enough but its worth a shot
[02:31] <Nikster> i have an issue with ubuntu, i updated to 7.10, and after that, 3d is running really jittery.. going from 1300 to 150 fps in glx gears, and it says direct rendering is not on, anyone have an idea what to do?
[02:31] <krumar> you'll see just why you don't need an antivirus
[02:31] <pulseezar> one thing, firestarters download page says that the ubuntu version is for 5.04 and i'm pretty sure i'm on 7.04. HOw much will that matter?
[02:31] <propagandhi> Nikster: whats ur gfx card
[02:31] <krumar> pulseezare
[02:31] <[seb] > 3% batter left lol im off to get charger
[02:31] <PriceChild> pulseezar, don't get it from there
[02:32] <c0rrupt0r> pulseezar: viruses are programmed to attack microsoft OS's
[02:32] <PriceChild> pulseezar, ubuntu has its own repositories.
[02:32] <Nikster> GeForce 2
[02:32] <krumar> pulseezar: do this, and the command line type 'sudo apt-get install firestarter'
[02:32] <Nikster> worked fine until i updated
[02:32] <jhou> [seb] , does lsmod show a rt73usb loaded?

[02:32] <PriceChild> pulseezar, You should not randomly find programs off the net and install them like you would on "other os's"
[02:32] <darkcrab> seb use this as a guide and make sure you did all these commands: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512828&highlight=ndiswrapper

[02:34] <darkcrab> but read the fricken thread on installing your drivers via terminal
[02:34] <c0rrupt0r> pulseezar: go into your system at top then to administrations and then click on synaptic package manager and do a search for firestarter then right click and mark as install then apply
[02:34] <darkcrab> you cannot just install ndiswrapper and BAM! your online
[02:34] <DM|> jrib o ?

[02:56] <yellow_chicken> where is the package for seamonkey?
[02:56] <jhou> seb__, or u can just google for the right page on the forum : P
[02:57] <komputes> Video....conf....anyone......buler....buler....
[02:57] <yellow_chicken> looking for composer to create html code
[02:57] <seb__> i did google i couldnt find any thing
[02:57] <jhou> yeah its hard when u dont kjnwo what ur googling for

[02:57] <seb__> y are there 2 __ after my nick
[02:58] <DIL> some using ur name
[02:58] <seb__> oh
[02:58] <komputes> serioustly seamonkey, the online version of the page listed all the links as local links
[02:58] <FatalCure> seb__: because there's a seb and a seb_ already i guess
[02:58] <komputes> so nobody with Linux uses videoconferencing, is that what I'm to understand....
[02:58] <rjcmc> yellow_chicken - 'bluefish' is a good html editor.
[02:59] <seb__> that most probably the me that was on a sec ago on the laptop lol
[02:59] <yellow_chicken> rjcmc: ok thanks, but what happened to mozilla?
[02:59] <rjcmc> komputes - install vlc
[02:59] <yellow_chicken> it's not listed in distrowatch
[02:59] <komputes> VLC can do videoconferencing???
[02:59] <cafuego> komputes: Lots of people do, just not necessarily via MSN.
[02:59] <cafuego> komputes: ekiga, does *standards* based conferencing.
[02:59] <komputes> has anyone been able to to MSN VC through WINE?
[02:59] <rjcmc> yellow_chicken - mozilla is many things, what do you refer to?
[03:00] <komputes> vut please, if VLC does videoconf please send a tutorial to do it
[03:00] <yellow_chicken> mozilla seamonkey, the composer, rjcmc
[03:00] <komputes> i'm interested
[03:00] <seb__> jhou, it gives me this when i type ndiswrapper -m
[03:01] <seb__> module configuration already contains alias directive
[03:01] <rjcmc> yellow_chicken - i'm not familiar w/it. Bluefish is more powerful i would bet.
[03:01] <yellow_chicken> rjcmc: just installed bluefish, how to switch tag, to see html , i am currently in design view
[03:02] <Tb0n3> thanks alot shitbags

[03:11] <Flannel> Jagett: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine  will give you everything you need to know.  For AIM though, you're probably better off just going native, with something like GAIM
[03:11] <komputes> GAIM is now PIDGIN
[03:11] <komputes> jj420: dunno how, never done it but check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager

[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fortune - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:15] <PinkFloyd> hm
[03:15] <PinkFloyd> Does anyone know where the fortune command originates
[03:15] <darkcrab> ok, thank you linuxjuggalo
[03:16] <cfedde> PinkFloyd: where it originates?  what it's history is?
[03:17] <PinkFloyd> No I mean where the command pulls the quotes from
[03:17] <Vimto> guys when install the system does the desktop appear on time? or i just get the background first and it will keep installing everything else?
[03:17] <Jagett> for linux I want the "source" of pidgen?
[03:17] <PinkFloyd> Jagett there's a deb of Pidgin on getdeb.net
[03:17] <cfedde> usr/share/doc/fortune-*
[03:18] <PinkFloyd> ok thanks
[03:18] <riotkittie-> I installed another distro and could not manage to get GRUB to boot it for me. That  distro uses LILO, and I attempted to install it to the superblock of that distro's partition. It overwrote my mbr :|  I am trying to recover grub. I have never had issues doing this before but
[03:18] <cfedde> PinkFloyd: see also locate fortune
[03:18] <bkruse_home> hey guys, do you guys have any suggestion for a website to do logo's/banners/ etc etc?
[03:18] <komputes> How to compile PIDGIN: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=404508
[03:18] <riotkittie-> now i am gettirg "Error 18: selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS" :(
[03:18] <PinkFloyd> Dont compile Pidgin, just install the deb from getdeb.net
[03:19] <PinkFloyd> much simpler plus it comes with plugins
[03:19] <Vimto> bkruse_home show me your website
[03:19] <ChaosParser> riotkittie-: Just boot a livecd and reinstall grub.
[03:19] <komputes> probably

[03:19] <ubotu> bkruse_home: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:19] <riotkittie-> ChaosParser: is that different from the whole sudo grub > root > setup  song and dance
[03:19] <Gray_Auk> Howdy
[03:20] <Vimto> i havent got any folders on the desktop
[03:20] <Vimto> does it mean its still installing?
[03:20] <Gray_Auk> hi SR71 .. did you used to have any connection to that Lockheed  bird?
[03:20] <localgod12> can some tell me what Unable to open: Virtual machine "/home/localgod11/windows.vmx" is not in the inventory. means?
[03:20] <DM|> If you have no plugins for rhythmbox how can u get any
[03:21] <localgod12> please?
[03:21] <LinuxJuggalo> Vimto: no, after ubuntu is installed that is the default look, clean with no directories/icons on the desktop
[03:21] <FatalCure> DM|: what are you trying to play?
[03:22] <ChaosParser> riotkittie-: Yeah.  Its reinstalling grub to the MBR instead of reconfiguring it.  Reconfiguring the contents isn't going to do crap if its not installed to the MBR properly.
[03:22] <Vimto> LinuxJuggalo im always rebooting ang get the same error here!
[03:22] <FatalCure> DM|: mp3?
[03:22] <LinuxJuggalo> Vimto: what error?
[03:22] <localgod12> u sure its an mp3?
[03:22] <localgod12> not a wma?
[03:22] <Vimto> LinuxJuggalo its says some things, such as themes, sounds or background may not work correctly!
[03:22] <riotkittie-> ChaosParser: and i use grub-install as opposed to install from the grub shell?
[03:23] <localgod12> can some tell me what Unable to open: Virtual machine "/home/localgod11/windows.vmx" is not in the inventory. means?
[03:23] <ChaosParser> riotkittie-: Yep.  Then just make sure the entries are right, and you should be fine.
[03:23] <Vimto> LinuxJuggalo i have heard the sound at the beginning! so it works!
[03:23] <LinuxJuggalo> Vimto: do you have compiz-fusion enabled? A.K.A. "desktop effects"? some video cards do not support this feature enabled
[03:24] <Vimto> LinuxJuggalo i actually installing on my laptop!
[03:25] <localgod12> can some tell me what Unable to open: Virtual machine "/home/localgod11/windows.vmx" is not in the inventory. means?
[03:25] <pulseezar> ok I have to get some sleep now, thanks loads for the help and advice everyone. night night
[03:25] <Vimto> LinuxJuggalo the disc keep running for hours without getting the system installed !
[03:27] <LinuxJuggalo> Vimto: and the live cd is not displaying the install icon?
[03:27] <DM|> is there a channel for Banshee
[03:28] <Vimto> LinuxJuggalo i get something like banner on the screen and it fastly goes!
[03:28] <Vimto> i get 3 icons on it i think!
[03:29] <LinuxJuggalo> Vimto: click on the install icon, it should look like a hard disk drive
[03:29] <Vimto> i dont have this !
[03:30] <jirwin> hey there. It would seem that NM is causing me not to get DHCP in gutsy with my intel 4965. Is there anyway to diable it?
[03:30] <Vimto> bkruse_home i would be glad to work with you but i cant use the pvt for now
[03:30] <jirwin> I can associate and scan with no problems
[03:31] <LT1Caprice57L> any ideas on why a GTK theme that worked fine in Feisty wouldn't work right in Gutsy?
[03:31] <LT1Caprice57L> in my case, it's only one that doesn't work properly anymore
[03:31] <LT1Caprice57L> all the rest do

[03:34] <locke> im about to install a linksys wmp54g v4.1 in this box that i just installed 7.04 freshly on, and the hardware compatibiliy page says this about it "Works only in Feisty if you put to "blacklist" the "rt61pci" module BEFORE install the card. If not, your computer will freeze often. There is an other module: "rt61" it works fine, with WEP too."
[03:34] <locke> how do i blacklist rt61pci

[03:38] <NotSure> ok, how do i enter any unicode character w/o char table?
[03:38] <Jagett> what does it do to press the [Revert]  button?
[03:38] <NotSure> it is unusually quite here?
[03:38] <NotSure> usually it is like a tavern in this place
[03:38] <Pelo> NotSure, you mean like alt+1224 ?  ascii codes in windows ?  if you figure it out let me know , I've been looking for a year
[03:38] <NotSure> anyway, how can I enter any custom unicode character just from the keybard w/o using char table
[03:38] <NotSure> yes Pelo!
[03:39] <NotSure> exactly!
[03:39] <Pelo> NotSure, not sure you can, sorry
[03:39] <Jagett> It would seem to be some sort of a [Ok]  button, but I need to hear it from experienced ppl
[03:39] <NotSure> Let's burn the fire about this issue on this channel
[03:39] <Pelo> NotSure, been there, done that ,  several times
[03:39] <riotkittie-> argh.
[03:39] <Davy_Jones> /J #politics
[03:39] <Davy_Jones> opps
[03:39] <NotSure> Let's make a huge funk out of it, rotten stink
[03:40] <NotSure> because it is enough by now
[03:40] <NotSure> i cannot enter a unicode character knowing its code!
[03:40] <NotSure> Ridiculous!
[03:40] <Pelo> NotSure,  it works in console mode but not in the gui
[03:40] <NotSure> ?
[03:40] <NotSure> how in konsole?
[03:41] <riotkittie-> ok. i am going to reboot. hopefully the 93949th time is a charm  :(
[03:41] <Jagett> Anyone wish to answer my stupid question?
[03:41] <Pelo> NotSure,  not konsole, consol,  command line interface,    crtl+alt+f2-f5 ,  crtl+alt+f7 to come back
[03:41] <NotSure> Jegett, what happened?
[03:41] <Pelo> Jagett, I just came it , what was you question ?
[03:41] <godzirra> Is there a good irc client that is for X, besides xchat?  I wasn't a huge fan.
[03:42] <Jagett> What effect does the [revert]  button have assigned to it?
[03:42] <Jagett> It regresses ?
[03:42] <Pelo> godzirra, konversation ,  but check in synaptic to see what is available
[03:42] <Davy_Jones> !gnash
[03:42] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[03:42] <Pelo> Jagett,  what revert button, where do you see this ?
[03:43] <NotSure> ok, folks, how to enter a custom unicode character in a text editor w/o resorting to the help of character table?
[03:43] <Jagett> I'm on version 4.1 first of all
[03:43] <Pelo> Jagett, get the latest realease or at the very least 6.06 it would be a lot easier to give you advice
[03:44] <Jagett> How do I go about acquiring the Feisty Fawn?
[03:44] <LjL> Jagett: you'd download it from http://www.ubuntu.com - most likely
[03:44] <gchase> I've got a problem with my dell inspiron 6000 not properly going into s3 or s4
[03:44] <Pelo> Jagett,  there are links for dl or the iso of the cd on the main site  www.ubuntu.com
[03:45] <Pelo> gchase, start by looking up your model in this link see if anything is mentionned  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:45] <NotSure> ok, folks, how to enter a custom unicode character in a text editor w/o resorting to the help of character table?
[03:45] <Davy_Jones> the Feisty Fawn
[03:45] <Davy_Jones> bow down
[03:45] <jtt> anyone know what pkg i need to resolve  /usr/bin/esd not found for feisty
[03:45] <lumpycow> anybody know where the ".B" file is for the blender preferences in linux(ubuntu)?
[03:45] <Pelo> NotSure,  were you paying attention when i was talking to you earlier,  you can't do it in gui , only in cli mode
[03:45] <Jagett> is there a way to simply update linux? similar to windows update
[03:46] <Jagett> but for linux
[03:46] <LjL> Jagett: it's done automatically by default.
[03:46] <Pelo> lumpycow,  most likely in /home/username  ,  type crtl+H to see the hidden folder   ( names with a dot before them are hidden)
[03:46] <bastid_raZor> Jagett: in a terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:46] <rav> Ok, i have recently been given a Nvidia 6200 PCI (not APG or PCI-E) and i cannnot install the damn thing. I have had to reinstall ubuntu 4 (yes FOUR) times because i always end up with the same error, and i cannot reconfigure xserver to get it back to normal so i can even ask for help here.
[03:46] <rav> So i have my onboard card, (works fine) then i have the nvidia one. I installed fiesty from the livecd using my onboard, then when it was running i used the restricted drivers to enable it. and after i do that, the Xserver wont boot on ANY card, with the nvidia one, ubuntu wont boot passed the third orange bar, and with the onboard card i get this MESSED up error saying something like, the xserver is not configured correctly...
[03:46] <rav> Right now im using my LIVECD to write this... The recovery menu ONLY works with the ONBOARD card, not the nvidia one.
[03:46] <xjkx> ubuntu refuses to boot, because its kernel does not have the driver of my IDE hd, is there something i can do?
[03:46] <NotSure> Pelo, you mean it is literally impossible in the GUI mode? You mean this is for fact?
[03:46] <Jagett> So my ver 4.1 should automatically update to 7 >_>
[03:46] <Davy_Jones> the update manager tells me there are 71 new updates
[03:46] <Davy_Jones> but i refuse to do them
[03:47] <LjL> Jagett: erm, no. that's not what you asked: Windows 98 (for instance) won't magically upgrade to Windows Xp
[03:47] <Pelo> Jagett,  update are default , upgrades are another tying,  changing versions are upgrades and you can'T go from 4.1 to 7.04 in one go , get the cd  trust me
[03:47] <LjL> Jagett: you *can* upgrade to a newer distribution, but if it's Warty that you have, you're better off reinstalling from scratch
[03:47] <tritium> rav: try disabling the on-board video in the BIOS
[03:47] <rav> ive done that, thats how i switch from one to another, but that does not work
[03:47] <Pelo> Davy_Jones, why are you refusing updates ?
[03:48] <bastid_raZor> Jagett: oh, dist upgrade.. in a terminal gksu "update-manger -c -d"
[03:48] <savetheWorld> !ubotu
[03:48] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[03:48] <godzirra> Pelo: I've never used synaptic. :) I'm an old debian guy.. heh.
[03:48] <Delphinus> Jagett: what part of the world are you from?
[03:48] <Jagett> ah so just burn the 7.04 cd, reformat this partition, and install the updated one?
[03:48] <Pelo> NotSure, I mean I've looked for over a year, couldnT' find anywway to do it , no one could tell me how and no one else I've seen looking for a way to do it found one
[03:48] <Davy_Jones> Pelo: because it tells me the download size is 145.1 MB... i don't have that much space
[03:48] <lumpycow> thanks Pelo, I see the file now.
[03:48] <Delphinus> Jagett: yes, but backup data before format
[03:49] <Pelo> godzirra,   apt-cache search keyword then
[03:49] <Jagett> I'm definitely from Bethel University in MN, USA
[03:49] <Jagett> studying CS; I'm a freshman
[03:49] <Pelo> Davy_Jones,  those files will replace exisiting ones , at least do the kernel and security updates
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: how big is your var apt cache archive folder?
[03:49] <Davy_Jones> Pelo: besides, 145MB of only compressed packages feels like bloatware to me
[03:49] <Jagett> What good is backup for?
[03:49] <Delphinus> Jagett: are you downloading the 7.04 iso?
[03:49] <bastid_raZor> Davy_Jones: you are funny
[03:49] <Vimto> this is soo bad!
[03:50] <riotkittie> bizarre. so totally bizarre.
[03:50] <tritium> Jagett: for when you lose valuable data
[03:50] <Vimto> im not getting install icon!
[03:50] <Jagett> I just installed this partition at beginning of september, but was too busy to work with it
[03:50] <rav> any other suggestions
[03:50] <Pelo> Vimto,   check in menu > system > ADMIN
[03:50] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: i'm not sure, but i know it's like 98 percent full
[03:50] <bastid_raZor> Davy_Jones: in terminal type df -h
[03:50] <NotSure> Pelo, I suggest you don't give up so easily, perhaps there is a way but we just need to coordinate our efforts and find it (google is of no help)
[03:50] <Jagett> So this is just as the default which the CD installs
[03:50] <Pelo> Jagett,  if you have no data or settings you wish to keep donT' backup then
[03:50] <bastid_raZor> Davy_Jones: that will tell you you space
[03:50] <Vimto> pelo i cant even move the mouse!
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: you can burn that folder to a cd or dvd for future use and free up a fair amount of space
[03:51] <Vimto> pelo whats the problem!
[03:51] <riotkittie> Vimto: how much RAM do you have?
[03:51] <Vimto> should i wait for it or what?
[03:51] <Vimto> 512
[03:51] <Pelo> Vimto, tell me about your computer
[03:51] <gchase> pelo, according to the Inspiron 6000 page from that linked resource, sleep and hibernate are supposed to work with feisty and I haven't changed anything that wasn't factory-installed
[03:51] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: heh, already done that
[03:51] <Vimto> its p 4 with 2Ghz
[03:52] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: i got a 40GB slave drive.. i'm waiting for 7.1 to be out
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: with 500 gig drives going for $95 it isnt a huge problem
[03:52] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: then i'll install it on the 40GB drive
[03:52] <Pelo> gchase,  so nothign relating to your problem ok  you can also check in the forum  www.ubuntuforums.org , I'm sorry I can'T help any further , ask again periodicaly maybe someone else will know , or try on different days
[03:52] <UnaCoder> Hey, I'm trying to add some customizations to the "init" script in my initrd file.  Just as a simple experiment I commented out the lines that switch over to the real root directory and launch a shell
[03:52] <rav> How do install a nvidia card from a recovery menu
[03:52] <Pelo> Vimto, usb mouse maybe ?
[03:52] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: i'll consider upgrading me hardware
[03:53] <Vimto> pelo no its a laptop
[03:53] <UnaCoder> to boot into this enviroment I copied the initrd image, unpacked it with cpio, and make a few changes, then repacked, gziped, and stuck it in /boot
[03:53] <Pelo> Vimto,  go to this liink check your model see if anything is mentionned   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:53] <tritium> rav: it should be auto-detected
[03:53] <UnaCoder> when i try to boot it from grub i get a kernel panick saying it can't mount the root device.  I have no idea why since I didn't change anything else... any idea?
[03:53] <Vimto> i just got the top and foot bars!
[03:54] <hexion> hi
[03:54] <rav> but i installed the nvidia driver, with the restricted driver and it still wont load
[03:54] <Vimto> does it request to wait to complete them or what!
[03:54] <Pelo> Vimto, have yo tried booting he cd again ? just in case it's a fluke
[03:54] <hexion> someone here has installed 2.6.23 kernel and uses fglrx driver?
[03:54] <tritium> rav: you ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?
[03:54] <Vimto> pelo yes i did too many times!
[03:54] <rav> yeah, but when should i select?
[03:55] <riotkittie> I had the same prob with live CDs on my lappy. dapper was as fast as to be expected. but edgy and feisty were just miserable.
[03:55] <Pelo> Vimto,  try useing the alternate install cd then,  it's text based less problematic in some case , you cna get it from the site ,  check the alternate cd box below the download now button
[03:55] <riotkittie> i think it took like 45 to get to the desktop on 7.04 the one time i toyed with the idea of installing to my laptop
[03:55] <tsukasa__> okay, why does dragging my windows produce static on my speakers o_0
[03:56] <Vimto> Pelo, what is alternate install?
[03:56] <jhou> tsukasa__, awesome sound effects?
[03:56] <h1st0> !alternate | Vimto
[03:56] <ubotu> Vimto: 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 - See also !Minimal
[03:56] <propagandhi> tsukasa__: you're scraping the windows against the desktop :)
[03:56] <Pelo> tsukasa__,  crossed speaker and monitor cable ?  cheap onboard everthing mother board ?
[03:56] <tritium> rav: did you see my question?
[03:56] <Zombine> say... anyone know how to get apt-get to stop asking for the install CD when I install stuff?
[03:56] <propagandhi> Zombine:  remove it from /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:57] <h1st0> Zombine: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the cdrom as a source
[03:57] <rav> Yeah, but do i have to be using my nvidia at the time i use that/
[03:57] <rav> ?
[03:57] <Pelo> Zombine,  menu > system > admin > software sources , first tab, uncheck the cd  at the bottom
[03:57] <hexion> Zombine: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the lines about the cdrom
[03:57] <h1st0> Zombine: putting a # at the front of the line comments the line out.
[03:57] <Vimto> Pelo, alright
[03:57] <Vimto> !Minimal
[03:57] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[03:57] <NotSure> I just want to get a more or less comprehensive view of the population of this channel with regards to my issue
[03:57] <Zombine> Alright... I'll do one of those things :D
[03:57] <NotSure>  folks, how to enter a custom unicode character in a text editor w/o resorting to the help of character table?
[03:58] <Pelo> Vimto,  you don'T want minimal, it doens,T hve any gui on it , it'S just a basic linux with a few  cli packages in it
[03:58] <NotSure> is it impossible in GNOME and/or KDE ?
[03:58] <Zombine> thanks all
[03:58] <hexion> please, anyone has compiled/installed 2.6.23 kernel and uses fglrx driver????
[03:58] <kai> personally, i prefer minimal, you dont get anything you don't want
[03:58] <h1st0> NotSure: I believe there is a shortcut key combination for those characters.  Just can't remember how to do it off the top of my head
[03:58] <NotSure> thank you h1st0
[03:58] <NotSure> That is what I thought
[03:59] <Vimto> Pelo, after downloading the minimal CD should i boot it or.. ?
[03:59] <Pelo> Vimto,  get the alternate install cd not the minimal one
[03:59] <NotSure> h1st0, I would appreciate you telling me this combination
[03:59] <Pelo> Vimto,  you boot and install
[03:59] <kai> if you're new, i wouldn't go for minimal
[03:59] <Zombine> so... do I need to reboot or something?
[04:00] <propagandhi> Zombine:  runa apt-get update
[04:00] <hexion> Zombine, no, just apt-get update
[04:00] <Pelo> Zombine,  no just do sudo apt-get update before you do anyting else
[04:00] <NotSure> h1st0, please make an effort, It is extremely important and needs to be discussed in excruciating detail on one of the ubuntu blogs
[04:00] <hexion> lol
[04:00] <NotSure> h1st0 this issue is simply mind bogging when it comes to it
[04:00] <Zombine> okay..
[04:00] <Jagett> can I get a ubun2 7.04 download url ?

[04:01] <NotSure> h1st0, did you find out?
[04:01] <Vimto> pelo, and then?
[04:02] <matooke> guys, is there a difference between the rc Ubuntu and the one to be released on the 18th?
