[12:00] <jariep1_> dj-fu, how do I specify the filesystem type?

[12:01] <saif> hello,i got a broken package in my repositories, when i try to remove it i get this error:dpkg-divert: mismatch on divert-to
[12:01] <saif>   when removing `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/share/fglrx/diversions/libGL.so.1.2 by xorg-driver-fglrx'
[12:01] <saif>   found `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa by xorg-driver-fglrx'
[12:01] <jariep1_> dj-fu, what do i type for dos type filesystem??
[12:01] <saif> any ideas how i can fix this?
[12:01] <dj-fu> jareth_, vfat (fat16, fat32)
[12:01] <dj-fu> 'vfat'/
[12:01] <jariep1_> ok thanks
[12:01] <Aaron_Mason> ok, next question, can it even be done?
[12:01] <Drac[Server] > Poomartialarts, ah. You're missing out on a buttload of packages. Here's what you do. First of all, edit /etc/apt/sources.list through sudo. Uncomment (take away the #) from every "deb" line except for the CDs. Those should have #'s. Then add the word "multiverse" after anything that ends with "universe" in that file.
[12:02] <dj-fu> The easiest way to do it is with synatpic, settings >repositories > add > check multiverse and universe
[12:02] <dj-fu> asymmetry, apt-get auto-clean ? :D
[12:02] <asymmetry> It's not OS stuff.
[12:02] <asymmetry> It's just documents.
[12:02] <asymmetry> Music, movies, games, software, etc.
[12:02] <dj-fu> nasty
[12:02] <asymmetry> It's my storage drive.
[12:03] <keithhhhhhhhh> does anyone have a recommendation for a good ftp client?
[12:03] <dj-fu> keithhhhhhhhh, gFTP?
[12:03] <sfar-ubu> delete some movies then :)
[12:03] <Puffball> does anybody know how to switch kernels?
[12:03] <keithhhhhhhhh> cool Ill look into it  ;) thanks
[12:03] <asymmetry> Puffball: Hit ESC at boot, select kerne;.
[12:03] <asymmetry> Kernel.
[12:03] <Puffball> oh thanks :P
[12:03] <julle> is it "apt-get dist upgrade" ?
[12:04] <asymmetry> Puffball: If you don't HAVE the kernel you're looking for, use Synaptic.
[12:04] <dj-fu> Aaron_Mason, `man mkfs`
[12:04] <Puffball> ok
[12:04] <asymmetry> Puffball: It has a selection of generic kernel builds. Or, you can compile your own.
[12:04] <Puffball> how do you configure grub to boot a certain kernel?
[12:04] <asymmetry> Puffball: By the way, if you compile your own, don't do what I (idiot) did the first time, and compile support for your boot filesystem as a module. Doesn't work too well.
[12:04] <asymmetry> Puffball: Check out /boot/grub/menu.lst for examples.
[12:04] <Puffball> ah, okay
[12:04] <Puffball> thanks
[12:06] <Aaron_Mason> dj-fu: cheers

[12:09] <stpere> someone has experience with it?
[12:09] <karim> dj-fu: same error with -f option
[12:09] <dj-fu> karim, did you do an upgrade or dist-upgrade
[12:09] <karim> could it be that i'm running an unstable version?
[12:09] <dj-fu> are you trying to mix'n'match stable with unstable?
[12:09] <karim> dj-fu: an upgrade
[12:09] <dj-fu> run apt-get dist-upgrade, see if that works
[12:10] <karim> dj-fu: ok let me try that
[12:11] <jfb> Hi all. I'm having trouble getting WPA to work. I have an Atmel WNIC, and have installed and configured WPA_supplicant. When I try to start up wpa_supplicant, I get:
[12:11] <sfar-ubu> Hm.. with the deskbar applet (0.8.5) you can select "Search Engines" in preferences.. but how do i edit the search enginges that is shown.. i want to remove some of them

[12:12] <BlueOrange> HI folks. I am trying to install Skype. I downloaded the skype.deb I cd to dir & tried "sudo apt-get install skype_<IP_ADDRESS>-2_i386.deb" which resulted in: "E: Couldn't find package skype_<IP_ADDRESS>-2_i386.deb
[12:12] <BlueOrange> " any suggestions ?
[12:12] <juztin> how do i update my video drivers?
[12:12] <jfb> Any suggestions are appreciated. The Atmel NIC works fine for non-WPA activity, and it seems others have made it work with WPA...
[12:12] <karim> dj-fu: no luck. "not installable".... E:broken package ....
[12:12] <jind> IdleOne: I appreciate the feedback, but all that page say is about general instructions and links to jigdo and iso (and torrent). Isn't is possible to just change the sources.list and apt-get distupgrade to it?
[12:13] <angryfix> if I accidentally deleted a folder using "rm -rf foo" is there anyway to get it back? I stupidly deleted the wrong folder. Is it gone for good?

[12:13] <IdleOne> jind, I guess you could . try asking in #ubuntu+1 for help with dapper

[12:13] <jind> IdleOne: thanks!
[12:13] <IdleOne> BlueOrange, have you enabled universe/multiverse?
[12:14] <dj-fu> karim, try removing the package it's complaining about
[12:14] <NeverDream> probably not with dapper, right? but maybe 6.11?
[12:14] <dj-fu> jind, yes, you can edit the sources.list and then dist-upgrade.

[12:17] <ubotu> rumour has it, automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.

[12:31] <Mischevious> _Toba, /on one partition of about 3 gigs a /usr partition .. quite large
[12:31] <_Toba> should I just do 1, or do I need a swap?
[12:31] <Mischevious> how much ram on that machine ?
[12:31] <useruser> is there a little emacs-like editor on the live cd?
[12:31] <Mischevious> useruser, nano?
[12:31] <Toba> don't say emacs
[12:31] <ompaul> _Toba, you need swap, as to wheather you want more divisions
[12:31] <_Toba> I'm not sure, 64/128 I'm guessing
[12:31] <Simulacra> useruser: I suggest using VI
[12:32] <cerebrix> heya anyone know what to plug into streamtuner to make it send streams to amarok?
[12:32] <useruser> Mischevious: nano's not very emacs like :) i want my keybindings back
[12:32] <Mischevious> Toba, oh.. then yes you need a swap.. of like 768MB
[12:32] <useruser> Simulacra: yeah i know. it's very slow for me to use though
[12:32] <ompaul> _Toba, 2.5 times your ram is the suggested swap up to about 1 gig after that if your running swap you have some serious problems
[12:32] <Mischevious> useruser, sorry.. i always use graphic editor
[12:32] <useruser> Simulacra: even gedit's better than vi for me
[12:32] <Simulacra> lol
[12:32] <Toba> then use pico or nano
[12:32] <Mischevious> ompaul, yea more then 1gig of swap is a rip off, this machine has 1gig ram and i use no swap and i never have problems
[12:33] <useruser> Toba: but... they're crap
[12:33] <Toba> yes, yes they are
[12:33] <Simulacra> everyone has their preference. Me I could not live wo vim
[12:33] <Toba> vim > emacs
[12:33] <Mischevious> i like gedit

[12:35] <dj-fu> pvd2006, that's normal :)
[12:35] <pvd2006> That isnt how much is actually being used right now though right
[12:35] <ompaul> karim what do you need to know
[12:35] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, here's something interesting printed from adduser: "for compatibility with Samba accounts $ is also supported at the end of the filename." Think it's at all helpful?
[12:35] <dj-fu> pvd2006, no, it's cached
[12:36] <pvd2006> is there a command to find out how much memory your using currently?
[12:36] <Misnix> frrr
[12:36] <Misnix> free
[12:36] <ompaul> karim the process around it is very well documented in the couple of FAQs out there
[12:36] <dj-fu> Drac[Server] , I've got no idea, whatsoever. Never tried to do what you are doing, I doubt it's very complex, though
[12:36] <dj-fu> pvd2006, free will report how much you are using, how much is cache etc
[12:36] <bimberi> pvd2006: 'free -m'.  Look at the figure next to '+/- buffers/cache:'  that is what is really being used.  The rest is file cache
[12:36] <pvd2006> oh ok, so the cached amount is how much I am using right now im gessuing.
[12:37] <karim> ompaul: hum have an issue buiding the ca cert with ./build-ca.
[12:37] <bimberi> (and buffers) :P
[12:37] <pvd2006> ohhh
[12:37] <pvd2006> I see it now
[12:37] <pvd2006> alright
[12:37] <dj-fu> the one underneath used is 'actual' usage
[12:37] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, adduser does complain that the existing directory it tries to use for its home directory doesn't belong to the user being created. Could this be the cause, and if so, how do I fix it? I've tried changing the ownership of the directory, to no avail.
[12:37] <karim> ompaul: I was looking at the faq here http://openvpn.net/howto.html
[12:37] <pvd2006> so im using 283megs of memory
[12:37] <dj-fu> the system monitor applet for Gnome is nice, gives you a graphical look at your RAM usage
[12:38] <dj-fu> (dark green = user, light green = buffer, really light green = cache) iirc
[12:38] <ompaul> karim, let me find the ones I used
[12:38] <dj-fu> Drac[Server] , remove the folder, start again from scratch
[12:38] <karim> ompaul: cool
[12:38] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, the remotely located folder? Fine. I'll try that.
[12:39] <Solilo> Is there a way to set the default switches for an application when it doesn't use a configuration file in either ~ or /etc? (xterm, for example)
[12:39] <dj-fu> Drac[Server] , I believe you can have X login to X on a remote server, instead of using samba to do it
[12:39] <ompaul> karim, wow the docs on that site have gone through the roof since I last looked
[12:39] <VR_> how do i get the status-bar menu in nautilus, like right here? >>> http://web.tampabay.rr.com/vr/statusbar.jpg
[12:39] <pvd2006> oh, btw when you install wine on Ubuntu where is the wine.conf file located. I need to change the path from C: to /media/hdc1
[12:39] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, that would be murder on this ancient hardware. :\
[12:39] <rodrickbrown> i just did a fresh install of breezy and my system has no /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
[12:39] <Simulacra> Solilo: you can just add those switches to the shortcut that you made
[12:40] <dj-fu> pvd2006, `winecfg`
[12:40] <tjansson> Hi all - I just made the switch from Mandriva (past 4 years)  to Ubuntu dapper flight 5. Every went fine expect that my old account tjansson (uid 501) can't login since all the my old files belong to 501:501 and not tjansson:tjansson - what should I do? Could I somehow change the userid for my new tjansson account to 501?
[12:40] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, still, it's an idea. Would you mind helping me research this?
[12:40] <Simulacra> Solilo: example /usr/bin/foo -a -x whatever
[12:40] <dj-fu> Drac[Server] , I'll take a look around, give me a few minutes. I believe the home directory etc are all maintained on the server, and each client has a base X install which remotely logs into the server
[12:40] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, wait. That wouldn't take care of the fact that the user is located on the local machine...
[12:40] <Zibby> Does Ubuntu need a /boot partition if / is on a Software RAID5?
[12:41] <dj-fu> few mins.
[12:41] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, Oh. Whoops. Nevermind. Go ahead. :)
[12:41] <Simulacra> Zibby: depends
[12:41] <Zibby> on?
[12:41] <dj-fu> the user and users storage would all be on the remote server
[12:41] <dj-fu> which I gather is what you are trying to do
[12:41] <karim> ompaul: no luck, kind of struggling with the one i use. Maybe i have to modify the build-ca script?
[12:41] <RipVanFish> can someone here help me get my ethernet working?
[12:41] <Simulacra> Zibby: If this is something that matter, ie. productions environment, I would say yes.
[12:42] <wd3> how do i upgrade conky?
[12:42] <Simulacra> Zibby: If its just for fun, no
[12:42] <VR_> can anyone help out?  how do i get the status-bar menu in nautilus, like right here? >>> http://web.tampabay.rr.com/vr/statusbar.jpg
[12:42] <IYY> RipVanFish: what's wrong with it?
[12:42] <wd3> apt get something?
[12:42] <ompaul> karim, so tell me did you install it from the repos? sudo apt-get install openvpn? or build it?
[12:42] <Zibby> Simulacra: is production, or will be.
[12:42] <karim> ompaul: from repo
[12:42] <RipVanFish> IYY: It wont send/recieve packets
[12:42] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, that's correct. I do need the network traffic and local system resource strain to be minimal, though. Would this fit the bill?
[12:42] <Simulacra> Zibby: Then best practices would dictate yes
[12:43] <wd3> how do i upgrade conky 1.3 to 1.4 or new, apt get something?
[12:43] <RipVanFish> IYY: like it's the only computer on the network
[12:43] <Solilo> wd3: sudo apt-get update conky
[12:43] <Zibby> Simulacra: Well really I'm trying to figure out why grub didn't work durring installation.
[12:43] <ompaul> karim, okay I should have it working in a few mins just installed it for the first time on 5.10 (but I swear by it :))
[12:43] <Simulacra> Zibby: hmmmm
[12:43] <juztin> help!  i installed the ati video card drivers...and when i rebooted, i got the little ubuntu logo with the loading bar, and then black screen on every tty!  what do i do?
[12:43] <wd3> solilo, does this go for all other progs?
[12:43] <IYY> RipVanFish: but it's recognized?
[12:43] <RipVanFish> IYY: yeah
[12:43] <Solilo> Yeah, you can run just 'sudo apt-get update' to update all packages actually.
[12:43] <Simulacra> Zibby: Should not be because of RAID-5, I would think
[12:43] <karim> ompaul: ok
[12:44] <dj-fu> Drac[Server] , is your server machine reasonable beasty? how many concurrent users?
[12:44] <abhorsen> can someone help me? I posted my problem here: http://ww2d.csoft.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=396#p396
[12:44] <Simulacra> Zibby: Someone correct me
[12:44] <wd3> solilo E: The update command takes no arguments
[12:44] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, MY server is just a puny little 400MHz machine, but the ones at the school should be powerful enough to take the load.
[12:44] <IYY> RipVanFish: have you tried the Settings > network tool?
[12:44] <Simulacra> Zibby: how many times have you done the install and grub failed?
[12:44] <RipVanFish> IYY: yes
[12:44] <RipVanFish> IYY: I set up IP and everything else in there
[12:45] <IYY> RipVanFish: clicked on enable?
[12:45] <RipVanFish> IYY: yes
[12:45] <wd3> solilo E: The update command takes no arguments
[12:45] <Random_Transit> hey...how do i get iptables to open a port on my system?
[12:45] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, This machine should be able to serve two machines simultaneously without issues, which is all I need.
[12:45] <abhorsen> can someone help me?
[12:45] <Zibby> Simulacra: Just once. But I decided to change from RAID1 to RAID5, and I just redid the md devices. I didn't change the partition table on the drives.
[12:45] <RipVanFish> IYY: when I run ifconfig it shows up on the list but no packets are being sent/recieved
[12:45] <juztin> help!  i installed the ati video card drivers...and when i rebooted, i got the little ubuntu logo with the loading bar, and then black screen on every tty!  what do i do?
[12:45] <IYY> RipVanFish: is this wireless?
[12:45] <Zibby> I'm zeroing the drives right now to try again. Maybe something funky with the change of raid type.
[12:46] <RipVanFish> IYY: no it's wired
[12:46] <Simulacra> Zibby: I have never done that, so I can't speak from exp on that.
[12:46] <dj-fu> Drac[Server] , right, try this, (just an idea..) system > administration > login window - enable it, then click the configure XDCMP at the bottom
[12:46] <IYY> RipVanFish: using a router?
[12:46] <Simulacra> Zibby: I would give it another try and install again with RAID5
[12:46] <dj-fu> Drac[Server] , then on the other machine, under sessions click XDCMP and specify the IP address of the server
[12:46] <dj-fu> make sure you have a user/pass for the server machine
[12:46] <Zibby> I'm just guessing. I usually spend the extra $ and get a hardware RAID, but budget didn't allow for it this time.
[12:47] <dj-fu> (i've never used this, it's guess work)
[12:47] <RipVanFish> IYY: I am using my college campus connection, but I don't think it's a router
[12:47] <fegor> hola
[12:47] <fernando> hola
[12:47] <Simulacra> I know about budgets
[12:47] <Simulacra> lol
[12:47] <Zibby> At least I have plenty of time to play with it and get it right. :)
[12:47] <Solil1> wd3: Meant to say 'sudo apt-get upgrade', networked killed before I realized that mistake. :P
[12:47] <fegor> que pasa tocayo?
[12:47] <RipVanFish> IYY: the same settings work under Windows
[12:47] <keithhhhhhhhh> has anyone had success installing wine?
[12:47] <htrp> keithhhhhhhhh, yes
[12:47] <Simulacra> document, document, and then document some more.
[12:47] <IYY> RipVanFish: you say you 'set up your ip'. if this is a public network, shouldn't you be using DHCP?
[12:47] <fernando> alguien habla e4spaol aca?
[12:47] <abhorsen> can some noble gentleman lend me some assistance?
[12:47] <green_earz> Random_Transit: have a look at using shorewall for your firewall.
[12:47] <Xenguy> !es
[12:47] <IcemanV9> "sudo apt-get install wine"
[12:47] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[12:47] <Zibby> abhorsen: ask not to ask, just ask.
[12:47] <keithhhhhhhhh> htrp what version do you use?
[12:47] <fegor> si, yo, Fernando
[12:48] <htrp> [18:47]  <IcemanV9> "sudo apt-get install wine"
[12:48] <htrp> do that
[12:48] <abhorsen> I posted my problem here: http://ww2d.csoft.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=396#p396
[12:48] <AngryElf> hey all, what would cause mounting NFS filesystems to take an absurd amount of time.....5+ minutes......but it works out in the end
[12:48] <dj-fu> yes, I've got it installed
[12:48] <keithhhhhhhhh> Iceman okay Ill try
[12:48] <RipVanFish> IYY: well, yes, but I've tried to get help here once before and DHCP wouldn't work
[12:48] <htrp> it'll download and install the latest version
[12:48] <wd3> sudo apt-get upgrade conky?
[12:48] <fegor> vmonos a #ubuntu-es, excuse me all.
[12:48] <RipVanFish> IYY: oddly enough it works in Windows
[12:48] <Alexi5> hello
[12:48] <wd3> solilo sudo apt-get upgrade conky?
[12:48] <Solil1> Yessir, applies to all packages.
[12:48] <Zibby> RipVanFish: does your DHCP server require sending a host name?
[12:49] <juztin> help!  i installed the ati video card drivers...and when i rebooted, i got the little ubuntu logo with the loading bar, and then black screen on every tty!  what do i do?
[12:49] <IcemanV9> keithhhhhhhhh: 0.0.20050725-0ubuntu1.1 (wine) (breezy, of course)
[12:49] <RipVanFish> Zibby: yes, I think it might
[12:49] <pvd2006> What does this mean? Debian binary and source .debs for Debian unstable
[12:49] <Alexi5> i  want to allow my windows xp partition to be mounted when i boot my system. how do i do that
[12:49] <pvd2006> The "Debian Unstable" part
[12:49] <Solil1> Alexi5: Add the entry to /etc/fstab.
[12:49] <Random_Transit> green_earz...so after installing shorewall, do i need to disable iptables?
[12:49] <Zibby> RipVanFish: Sec, have to pull up a Ubuntu box to look at something. ;)
[12:49] <RipVanFish> Zibby: come to think of it they need the host name and my ethernet address
[12:50] <Zibby> RipVanFish: Edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, add a line send host-name "hostname";
[12:50] <IYY> RipVanFish: when you tried DHCP, did you get an IP address?
[12:50] <ceatech> how can I add a launcher to the panel manually? I need to do this scripted so I can't use smeg
[12:50] <bimberi> Random_Transit: shorewall uses iptables
[12:50] <abhorsen> Zibby:  I am having trouble installing WW2D, a worldwind like problem.  I am going to try to install the whole thing from the beginning again. .
[12:50] <IcemanV9> !tell Alexi5 about mountwindows
[12:50] <Random_Transit> ahh
[12:50] <Random_Transit> ok
[12:50] <RipVanFish> IYY: no it said that it couldn't find any DHCP servers
[12:50] <Zibby> RipVanFish: then do ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 and cross your fingers
[12:51] <Amaranth> ceatech: as i said in #gnome, you need to put a valid .desktop file in /usr/share/applications
[12:51] <RipVanFish> Zibby: alright I'll give this a try
[12:51] <fernando> acepta fegor
[12:51] <RipVanFish> IYY: I'll be back, have something to try out
[12:51] <Amaranth> ceatech: the ones smeg (alacarte) makes have no Categories key so using them outside of smeg will cause them to be sorted into the "Other" menu
[12:52] <juztin> help!  i installed the ati video card drivers...and when i rebooted, i got the little ubuntu logo with the loading bar, and then black screen on every tty!  what do i do?
[12:52] <abhorsen> got to go
[12:52] <Solil1> Only a black screen, no login prompt?
[12:52] <juztin> Solil1, nope
[12:52] <juztin> Solil1, after the laoding bar, its just black
[12:52] <Drac[Server] > dj-fu, I'm afraid I'm running Dapper (please don't abandon me, here), so my GDM config is a bit different. Hold on.
[12:52] <fegor> que acepte el que fernando
[12:53] <ic56> window 2
[12:53] <IcemanV9> juztin: did you modify xorg.conf?
[12:53] <juztin> IcemanV9, yes
[12:53] <ceatech> amaranth: I can't even find the ones smeg makes. They don't appear to be in the /usr/share/applications folder...
[12:53] <IcemanV9> ah k
[12:53] <ratiocinate> Hey - does anyone know a command line tool that can give you the length in seconds of a .wav file?
[12:53] <Amaranth> ceatech: nope, they're in ~/.local/share/applications
[12:53] <juztin> IcemanV9, i reconfigured xserver-xorg
[12:53] <ompaul> karim, okay so what steps have you taken to create this key or are you just stuck
[12:53] <IcemanV9> Drac[Server] : it would be a good idea to go over to #ubuntu+1 (dapper help)
[12:53] <juztin> IcemanV9, so i'm assuming xorg.conf was modified?
[12:54] <Drac[Server] > IcemanV9, yes, and wait for six hours before I get an answer. What a great idea!
[12:54] <IcemanV9> juztin: hmm. ah. did u checked?
[12:54] <IcemanV9> Drac[Server] : ha. sorry.
[12:54] <ceatech> Amaranth: ahh.. so if I vi the *.desktop file and add the categories=line, that should fix it?
[12:54] <Amaranth> ceatech: yeah
[12:54] <karim> ompaul: i did the ./vars and the ./clean-all successfully but the ./build-ca return the help menu
[12:54] <juztin> IcemanV9, i can't...after the loading bar, i get black screen and that's it
[12:54] <juztin> IcemanV9, and the loading bar is the wrong color
[12:54] <guitar256> what codec do i need to play m4a (AAC) files???
[12:54] <guitar256> !aac
[12:55] <ubotu> rumour has it, aac is read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for information about aac support
[12:55] <schtinky> what repository do I have to have to apt-get 855resolution?
[12:55] <IcemanV9> juztin: ok. ctrl+atl+f1
[12:55] <schtinky> it doesn't seem to be in the universe repo
[12:55] <IcemanV9> juztin: can you get to the console now?
[12:56] <_sHaDe> n8 all
[12:56] <ubuntu-user> is there a way to have X over SSH work on reverse SSH tunnels?
[12:56] <Alexi5> can i write to the ntfs partition once it is mounted
[12:56] <juztin> IcemanV9, no, when i try to switch its still black...i don't even know for sure if it's switching
[12:56] <shadou> Drac[Server] , did you get it running
[12:56] <IcemanV9> no, Alexi5
[12:56] <shadou> Alexi5, NTFS write support is highly experimental
[12:56] <Drac[Server] > shadou, get what running?
[12:57] <shadou> XDMCP
[12:57] <Zibby> Alexi5:  highly experimental = don't do it unless you like data loss.
[12:57] <Alexi5> ok
[12:57] <shadou> Zibby has the right idea ;p
[12:57] <IcemanV9> juztin: oh wow. ok. that is not good.
[12:57] <shadou> Format your windows partitions to fat32 for compatibility
[12:57] <juztin> IcemanV9, what should i do?
[12:58] <IcemanV9> juztin: ctrl+atl+f2 .. f3 .. f4? nothing?
[12:58] <Drac[Server] > shadou, no. Not yet. I have yet to figure out how to configure it in the new GDM.
[12:58] <juztin> IcemanV9, nope...black screen for all of them
[12:58] <TANATHOS> is there anyone able to tell me the best shaper for rooter?
[12:58] <Drac[Server] > Ah! Here it is. :D
[12:58] <schtinky> how can I get the 855resolution package? apt-get can't find it and the source won't compile
[12:58] <Zibby> Or look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd to mount ext2/3 on windows.
[12:59] <IcemanV9> juztin: do u have liveCD? if so, boot with it. then mount hd. edit xorg.conf
[12:59] <juztin> IcemanV9, i have a knoppix livecd...
[12:59] <Zibby> Though that probally has the same warnings as NTFS write support :p
[12:59] <IcemanV9> juztin: that'll work; i am not familiar with knoppix though.
[12:59] <shadou> I can't pm you cause your nick isn't registered, Drac[Server] .
[12:59] <Mabus06> what's the C equivalent for 'c++ filetocompile.cpp -o program.out'
[01:00] <conn> quick question, how do you people create diffs? I tried "diff dir1 dir2 >patch.diff", and when I try to apply the patch "patch -p0 <patch.diff" it doesn't work. Is there some switches I should specify to create a diff that will actually work for patching purposes?
[01:00] <juztin> IcemanV9, i can figure it out, if you can just tell me what to edit :)
[01:00] <shadou> Mabus06, 'gcc'
[01:00] <Drac[Server] > shadou, try again.
[01:00] <Xenguy> conn: diff is for files isn't it?
[01:00] <IcemanV9> juztin: in xorg.conf file, modify driver "ati" to driver "fglrx"
[01:01] <bsdfox> dude format it fat32, you will kick yourself later if you don't
[01:01] <juztin> IcemanV9, that's what i set it as when i configured xserver-xorg...it was previously set to vesa
[01:01] <Xenguy> conn: i.e. not dirs
[01:01] <bsdfox> it's the only good one for windows and *nix read/write
[01:01] <michael117> I have VLC media player installed as well as the plugin to make it work with mozilla (firefox), but am still not able to watch videos such as this one: http://poststuff4.entensity.net/031306/media.php?media=potato.wmv even after I download it by itself
[01:02] <Xenguy> ntfs may be technically superior, but it doesn't interoperate well with linux folk
[01:02] <IcemanV9> juztin: something went wrong; try to check to make sure
[01:02] <AngryElf> how do i find out what ati driver i'm currently using?
[01:02] <Zibby> personally I perfer samba, but that assumes you have mutiple computers instead of dual boot.
[01:02] <Mabus06> dj-fu: how do I do it though?
[01:02] <Mabus06> dj-fu: gcc file.c -o file.out ??
[01:02] <dj-fu> Mabus06, yeah.
[01:02] <anstei_> michael117, probably that video uses the WMV10 codec, which is not yet available for linux
[01:02] <natalie> hello, I have to ask for some help.  When I was loading up 5.10 in recovery mode, I decided to let it continue past the request for root login.  It then froze when it got to the login screen.  Can anyone suggest a help for me?
[01:03] <bsdfox> this is what I do.. make a big fat32 partition for movies and music, then use whatever partition for whatever other os
[01:03] <juztin> su
[01:03] <bsdfox> that way you can always read or write to it
[01:04] <bsdfox> or I create like a 5g partition that's fat32 just to use to swap stuff but that's a pain (what you gotta do if you have ntfs though)
[01:04] <Xappe> michael117: i use w32codecs and the MediaPlayerConnectivity extension for firefox (that video works with that setup)
[01:04] <juztin> IcemanV9, where can i find xorg.conf?
[01:05] <IcemanV9> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:05] <natalie> oh, as a side note, I can only get 5.10 to run when I log in as root
[01:05] <Mischevious> can somone help me with an installing question please.
[01:05] <RipVanFish> Zibby: came back with error temporary name resolution or something
[01:05] <juztin> IcemanV9, there is no xorg.conf there
[01:05] <Zibby> Mischevious: ask not to ask, just ask.
[01:05] <IcemanV9> juztin: ha? gone?
[01:06] <Mischevious> im trying to install amarok, via source.. it must be source... and it complains about autoconf, i have the newest autoconf but i think it's instaleld in the wrong place, how do i fix this
[01:06] <IcemanV9> juztin: that IS odd.
[01:06] <schtinky> is it possible to upgrade from 5.04 to 5.1 without downloading a new install DVD? can I just apt-get my way to the new version or something?
[01:06] <juztin> IcemanV9, do i need to reinstall ubuntu?
[01:06] <RipVanFish> IYY: any ideas?
[01:07] <akcom> What package contains hdiutil?
[01:07] <Zibby> schtinky: Yes
[01:07] <ompaul> karim, I am now offically scratching my head I can get a few different errors
[01:07] <IcemanV9> juztin: i don't think so. i don't remember how to recreate xorg.conf. maybe someone here knows.
[01:07] <schtinky> zibby, how
[01:07] <ompaul> karim, gime a coupld of mins
[01:07] <IYY> RipVanFish: Zibby suggested one earlier
[01:07] <juztin> how do i recreate xorg.conf?
[01:07] <RipVanFish> IYY: yeah that didn't work out
[01:07] <Zibby> schtinky: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[01:08] <pvd2006> I am trying to isntall wine on ubuntu using winecfg but when I click ok it keeps saying  Failed to create directory 'L"C:\\windows\\profiles...
[01:08] <akcom> Nevermind, it's OSX only.  Is there any application I can use that can convert from the UDTO disk image type (dmg files) to an iso?
[01:08] <karim> ompaul: ok, hope it's not the KEY_DIR one!!!
[01:08] <IYY> RipVanFish: no idea....
[01:09] <Omega-red> ubuntu and 3d on ati xpress 200m igp, anybody knows how?
[01:09] <Zibby> RipVanFish: If you configure it with a static IP does it work?
[01:09] <RipVanFish> Zibby: doesn't work even then
[01:09] <Zibby> RipVanFish: What kind of network card?
[01:10] <RipVanFish> Zibby: - Realtek RTL8201CL 10/100 Ethernet LAN PHY
[01:10] <zenbum> possibly dumb question: if i want to add kde packages while still retaining all the gnome stuff (including gdm as the default dm), can i just apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?
[01:10] <RipVanFish> Zibby: it's integrated
[01:11] <Mischevious> can somone help me with this please, i do have autoconf installed http://pastebin.com/617167
[01:11] <ompaul> karim, no I can't get openssl to kick off
[01:12] <natalie> Hello, I am hoping that someone can help me. The only time that I can get Ubuntu to not freeze up is when I start in recovery mode and log in as root.  If I try to start up any other way it goes in to full kernel panic.  Any help would be much appreciated.
[01:12] <juztin> in the ubuntu installer, what is the difference between "Erase entire disk" and "Erase entire disk and use LVM"?
[01:13] <Mischevious> juztin, lvm is bad, stay away from it
[01:13] <Zibby> RipVanFish: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=1&CatID=1190&SubCatID=147
[01:13] <karim> ompaul: hum, not sure i figure out that one
[01:13] <Noahj> How do I do keycodes like in windows?
[01:13] <Zibby> RipVanFish: looks like the driver may not be in Ubuntu based on a quick google search :)
[01:13] <akcom> How do I find the location of my perl interpretter?
[01:13] <juztin> Mischevious, roger.
[01:13] <ceatech> Amaranth: thanks for the help. Works great!
[01:13] <Zibby> akcom: which perl
[01:14] <akcom> thank you
[01:14] <RipVanFish> Zibby: according to this it should be working https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/24801
[01:15] <cratel2> is there an equivalent to Windows' "map network drive" so I can have apps send their output to a remote computer instead of a file from the command line?
[01:15] <Mischevious> can somone help me with this please, i do have autoconf installed into /usr/local/bin/autoconf http://pastebin.com/617167
[01:15] <majd> hey
[01:15] <majd> i need some help setting up my HP Photosmart 3200
[01:15] <majd> i have the installation cd
[01:15] <majd> but i dont' believe it works on linux
[01:16] <n4cht> could someone point me to the default gtkrc for breezy, or perhaps an app that allows for easy tweaking of gtkrc?
[01:16] <Zibby> RipVanFish: are you installing Dapper?
[01:16] <chuckyp> majd, what are you trying to do?
[01:16] <Mischevious> majd, you don't need a driver
[01:16] <majd> i set it up before, i can't remember what i did though. I have it hooked up to my router
[01:16] <Mischevious> majd, go to system>administration>printing>add printer
[01:16] <chuckyp> n4cht, what is gtkrc?
[01:16] <RipVanFish> Zibby: It's already installed
[01:16] <majd> and i have "detect lan printers" enabled
[01:16] <majd> Mischevious, i did that, it didn't work
[01:16] <Zibby> I only deal with stable releases
[01:16] <sponix2ipfw> OK, so whats the general rule of thumb when picking kernels, do they have to be the same version number all the way down the the minor patch & build revision numbers ?
[01:16] <majd> i don't know what usb port it's hooked up to
[01:16] <n4cht> gtkrc is what i have to edit so that i can force gtk to conform with the font sizes that i have fluxbox using.
[01:17] <zenbum> Zibby: so you only use debian?  ;-)
[01:17] <brenner> natalie: breezy or dapper?
[01:17] <chuckyp> n4cht, try apt-cache search gtkrc
[01:17] <natalie> brenner: breezy
[01:17] <Zibby> zenbum: yeah, Ubuntu is still debian(ish) ;-)
[01:17] <simstudios> nas
[01:17] <n4cht> it's already installed, chuckyp.  i just need to know where the default gtkrc is in breezy.   /etc/gtk has like 50 of 'em./
[01:17] <simstudios> q tal?
[01:18] <juztin> what happened to #linux?
[01:18] <Abnix> just a point of curiosity....fresh install of ubuntu... I know I *had* a xterm of soem sort in my menus...I don't now, nor do I ahve a 'Run command' menu item, plus sshd is not running... how the crap can I open a terminal window?
[01:18] <Mischevious> can somone help me with this please, i do have autoconf installed into /usr/local/bin/autoconf http://pastebin.com/617167
[01:19] <FlannelKing> ctrl-alt-f2?  I think.  something like that (they did knowingly remove it, it's not a bug)
[01:19] <brenner> natalie: do you get any errors/info besides kernel panic?
[01:19] <bimberi> Abnix: <alt>F2
[01:19] <Abnix> ok, thank you
[01:19] <brenner> juztin: ask #freenode maybe
[01:19] <chuckyp> n4cht, isnt' there a config somewhere?
[01:19] <chuckyp> !tell n4cht about fonts
[01:19] <Abnix> there's a rant there jsut waiting to explode from someone's fingertips...
[01:19] <bimberi> Abnix: terminal via Applications -> Accessories
[01:19] <n4cht> gtkrc _is_ a config.
[01:19] <Mischevious> can somone help me with this please, i do have autoconf installed into /usr/local/bin/autoconf http://pastebin.com/617167
[01:20] <brenner> Abnix: apps>accessories>terminal
[01:20] <natalie> brenner:  When I logged in in recovery mode and decided to not log in as root, I received some kind of login error.  I don't remember exatctly what it was.
[01:20] <Abnix> alrighty, now was it apt-get install kde or....?
[01:20] <ompaul> karim, I have to stop now and attack this in the morning, I need it myself so tomorrow is not a bad day to attack it
[01:20] <Noahj> Do I have to use gucharmap to select characters every time I want a special charactier?
[01:21] <ompaul> karim, its after midnight here and my brain is getting foggy
[01:21] <htrp>
[01:21] <majd> what kind of printer should i choose? cups? windows, unix, or HP JedDirect ?
[01:21] <Abnix> ah ha! yes! it was!...
[01:21] <brenner> natalie: at what point does it freeze if you do a normal boot?
[01:22] <brenner> Abnix: recommended method is to get kubuntu-desktop
[01:22] <Abnix> brenner: ahh yes! thank you!
[01:23] <natalie> brenner: it freezes at the login point.  whether or not my gdm is set to run on its own.
[01:23] <Zibby> majd: Depends on how your printer is connected.
[01:23] <Mischevious> can somone help me with this please, i do have autoconf installed into /usr/local/bin/autoconf http://pastebin.com/617167
[01:23] <Abnix> and dont mind my abussive use of !'s folks....I just find it, odd we'll say, to find a irc help channel, that is actually helpfull....
[01:23] <Paradosso> hi little OT question
[01:23] <Paradosso> how do i know my INTERNAL ip, if I am behind a router?
[01:23] <ompaul> Paradosso, ifconfig
[01:23] <majd> Zibby it's hooked up to the same wireless router my computer is
[01:24] <Zibby> majd: so it's a network printer?
[01:24] <majd> Zibby, yeah
[01:24] <majd> it's also hooked up to the computer through usb
[01:24] <neo911> anyone here from Texas? what time is it there now? thanks...
[01:25] <Abnix> should be around 6:24 pm I think
[01:25] <Zibby> majd: well pick a method geez. :p
[01:25] <Mischevious> can somone help me with this please, i do have autoconf installed into /usr/local/bin/autoconf http://pastebin.com/617167
[01:25] <chuckyp> anyone know how to add an application to startup on xfce?
[01:25] <Abnix> or it could be 5:24...
[01:25] <majd> Zibby it doesn't matter?
[01:25] <chuckyp> Mischevious, how did you install autoconf?
[01:25] <Abnix> chuckyp: add it to .xinitrc ?
[01:25] <Mischevious> chuckyp, apt-get
[01:25] <Zibby> majd: Check your router's documentation for how it shares the printer. Or if you're lazy, run nmap agnist your router ;)
[01:25] <Noahj> chuckyp: I would edit .xsession
[01:25] <neo911> Abnix, thx
[01:26] <bimberi> neo911: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ is a handy bookmark :)
[01:26] <neo911> oh
[01:26] <chuckyp> Abnix, Noahj which is proper?
[01:26] <karim> ompaul: ok thanks for helping. Good night
[01:26] <phusniken> how do i install ethereal
[01:27] <neo911> bimberi, nice link... pretty handy
[01:27] <phusniken> with apt-get ?
[01:27] <phusniken> it came seem to find it
[01:27] <crimsun> !info ethereal
[01:27] <ubotu> ethereal: (network traffic analyzer), section universe/net, is optional. Version: 0.10.12-2ubuntu3 (breezy), Packaged size: 485 kB, Installed size: 1312 kB
[01:27] <brenner> Mischevious: what are you installing?
[01:27] <n4cht> ok, so no one knows anything about editing gtkrc, or any apps that do it easier?
[01:27] <Mischevious> brenner, amarok
[01:27] <Zibby> Mischevious: echo $PATH, make sure /usr/local/bin is before /usr/bin for starters
[01:27] <Mischevious> Zibby, /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[01:27] <phusniken> crimsun im new to ethereal
[01:27] <phusniken> how would i get it
[01:27] <brenner> Mischevious: i assume you're not happy w/ the repos version?
[01:27] <chuckyp> n4cht, what are you trying to accomplish by editing it?  Why not just do a locate for the file then nano the file?
[01:28] <phusniken> err ubuntu i mean
[01:28] <Mischevious> brenner, i need to compile it with a switch
[01:28] <crimsun> phusniken: enable universe, then use Synaptic to install it
[01:28] <loan> HOLA
[01:28] <chuckyp> Abnix, Noahj which is proper? .xinitrc or .xsession I have neither right now.
[01:28] <phusniken> how do i enable universe
[01:28] <Abnix> chuckyp: well as I know it, .xsession is for as the name implies, setting up sessions for X.    whereas .xinitrc is a rc script that runs programs for you upon init
[01:28] <ReWT_AxS> sudo apt-get install ethereal
[01:28] <Mischevious> Abnix, correct
[01:28] <Abnix> it theoreticly can go in both
[01:28] <chuckyp> Abnix, gotcha you
[01:28] <LordMelkor> i need some help making a bash script
[01:29] <crimsun> !tell phusniken about repos
[01:29] <chuckyp> Abnix, so .xsession would be proper
[01:29] <Xenguy> chuckyp: no, you want 'Autostart' I think
[01:29] <brenner> natalie: i'm not much good w/ kernel panics.  there are a ton of forum topics on them though it seems. sorry.
[01:29] <ReWT_AxS> lord to do?
[01:29] <Mischevious> brenner, any ideas
[01:29] <LordMelkor> im trying to make a script such that i can run midis in firefox
[01:29] <loan> alguien de aqui habla espaol?
[01:29] <majd> weird, the printer seems to be not working, it shows <IP_ADDRESS> for IP
[01:29] <Zibby> Mischevious: Look at like 33 of admin/cvs.sh. That's the command generating the error. It might give you a clue on what to do to fix it.
[01:29] <chuckyp> Xenguy, I just want to launch an application upon logging in to xfce.
[01:29] <phusniken> rewt tgat dont wor
[01:29] <LordMelkor> i got it to open timidity but i dont know what to write to get the name of the midi file
[01:29] <pvd2006> Does anyone here know how to configure wine on ubuntu? I got the newest version from the wineHQ respository and installed it through synaptic. Now when I try to run winecfg and hit ok it tries to write  the files to C:\..., Is there a way I can fix this so it doesnt do that?
[01:29] <Mischevious> Zibby, okay, where do i find admin/cvs.sh
[01:29] <brenner> Mischevious: i'm not too familiar w/ cvs myself.  i usually just grab the latest src tarball
[01:30] <n4cht> chuckyp, 1) i know where it is.  it's in /etc/gtk.   go there.  tell me how many gtkrc files you see.   2) i'm trying to make the default gtk look in fluxbox conform with the fluxbox style i'm using.  that has to be done with the gtkrc.  since almost everyone here uses gnome, or kde i'm realizing i may not get the answers i'm looking for.  heh.
[01:30] <Zibby> Mischevious: I dunno, you downloaded the source.
[01:30] <Mischevious> brenner, yea but thsi script is supposed to be good
[01:30] <neo911> anyone know how broadband works? does it use SNAT to allow machines behind the gateway router to access internet? thx
[01:30] <LordMelkor> pvd2006 let it do what its doing the change the home dir
[01:30] <LordMelkor> pvd2006 let it do what its doing the change the in wine
[01:30] <Abnix> chuckyp: if you go the .xinitrc route, know that you ahve to put a & behind the command, other wise the x server will start, run your desired program *only*    then when you kill that you'd be dumped out of x
[01:30] <phusniken> what file do i need to edit
[01:30] <phusniken> to enable all the repo's
[01:30] <chuckyp> n4cht, i'm running a different version than you don't have that file.
[01:31] <Xenguy> chuckyp: OK, well AFAIK the standard way to start stuff up in xfce4 is by putting, for example a bash script in ~/Desktop/Autostart, but feel free to try .xinitrc/.xsession to see if that works (I'm not sure it will tho)
[01:31] <chuckyp> Abnix, I know.
[01:31] <neo911> !repositories
[01:31] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[01:31] <n4cht> if you're running _anything_ with gtk, you will have a gtkrc file.
[01:31] <chuckyp> Xenguy, I'll try both.
[01:31] <LordMelkor> i need some help making a bash script  im trying to make a script such that i can run midis in firefox i got it to open timidity but i dont know what to write to get the name of the midi file
[01:31] <chuckyp> n4cht, i'm running gtk-2.0
[01:31] <pvd2006> lordmelkor , it gives me errors that state err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory 'L"C:\\windows\\profiles\\
[01:31] <n4cht> as am i.  somewhere on your system, there is a gtkrc file.
[01:32] <Xenguy> chuckyp: I'd be interested in the results you get
[01:32] <chuckyp> n4cht, hold i'll search for you.
[01:32] <Abnix> chuckyp: cool.   when I first ahd to do that years ago with waimea/kahakai/andsomeotheronewhosnameescapesme, I had a few 'WTF?!'s hollered at my screen....
[01:32] <chuckyp> Xenguy, i'll let you know here I have a huge update going right now.  I'll try .xinitrc first
[01:32] <LordMelkor> pvd2006 try auto config tools like sidenet or winetools
[01:32] <Xenguy> chuckyp: tx
[01:33] <chuckyp> n4cht, try /usr/share/themes/whatever theme you are running gtkrc
[01:33] <neo911> i want to learn solaris but it is expensive so it's not accessible to a student like me. can i learn solaris by way of using linux since they're both unix right? thx
[01:33] <n4cht> chuckyp, i'm not running an actual gtk theme.   i'm running fluxbox, which uses gtk.
[01:34] <chuckyp> n4cht, hrm... well I have no idea then.
[01:34] <LordMelkor> how do people have dapper already... isnt it not out yet
[01:34] <n4cht> apparently, through some searching, gtkrc.utf-8 is the default.
[01:35] <Noahj> LordMelkor: flight 5
[01:35] <LordMelkor> i need some help making a bash script  im trying to make a script such that i can run midis in firefox i got it to open timidity but i dont know what to write to get the name of the input file???
[01:35] <LordMelkor> Noahj what are you talking about
[01:35] <ubuntu> hi
[01:36] <ubuntu> im trying ubuntu live to see if my hardware is supported
[01:36] <Enthusiast78> LordMelkor: Do you want the script to receive the filename?
[01:36] <LordMelkor> Enthusiast78 yes
[01:36] <Enthusiast78> LordMelkor: Is the script written in bash?
[01:36] <LordMelkor> ay
[01:36] <brenner> ubuntu: you might want to change your nick :P
[01:36] <michael117> Is there a way I can make XMMS simulate 5.1 while playing a stereo mp3 file?
[01:36] <Enthusiast78> LordMelkor: I guess what you need is the $1 variable from within the bash script.
[01:36] <ubuntu> lol
[01:37] <IYY> ubuntu: looks like it's supported, you're online after all :p
[01:37] <ubuntu_tester> hows this ;)
[01:37] <ubuntu_tester> well i cant see my hard drives
[01:37] <Noahj> Lordmelkor: there is a dapper repo, and you can get flight 5 from there
[01:37] <ubuntu_tester> im using a nvidia raid card (nv4 chipset)
[01:37] <ubuntu_tester> raid 0 with 2 raptors
[01:37] <LordMelkor> Enthusiast78 its not really much of a script it just has the !/bin/bash at the top and a command line command to run midis
[01:38] <LordMelkor> THX enthusiast it works!
[01:39] <phusniken> how would i install tight-vnc
[01:39] <phusniken> seems apt-get cant find any packages i want
[01:39] <Zibby> phusniken: try synaptic
[01:39] <bimberi> neo911: solaris and linux commands are similar, the main differences are in directory structures.  That said, have you heard of http://www.opensolaris.org/ ?
[01:40] <phusniken> Zibby its not listed
[01:40] <phusniken> in there
[01:40] <phusniken> neither is ethereal
[01:40] <phusniken> almost hard to believe
[01:40] <neo911> bimberi, yes i just heard of it... thanks for the info :-)
[01:41] <brenner> ubuntu_tester: define can't see.  did you try mounting them manually?
[01:41] <Zibby> phusniken: or aptitude from the console. Tight VNC and etherreal are there. Might be in universe though.
[01:41] <nate_> ohh my god guys i just got my linux to play a cd
[01:41] <ubuntu_tester> brenner: how do i do that, quite frankly im a noob
[01:41] <Mischevious> nate_, good job man
[01:41] <Enthusiast78> LordMelkor: Still, I think the $1 variable within the scrip will give you the first parameter the script receives, then you can call something like 'timidity $1' from within the script...
[01:41] <Noahj> nate_: was it hard?
[01:41] <ubuntu_tester> im just trying this because im sick of XP crashing
[01:41] <juztin> as far as standard screen sizes....640x480, then 800x600, then 1024x768....what is next after 1024x768?
[01:41] <bimberi> phusniken: tightvncserver and ethereal are in the universe repository ...
[01:41] <nate_> i've been working on this for 2 weeks finally i broke down and bought a 7 dollar cobra soundcard
[01:42] <bimberi> !tell phusniken about universe
[01:42] <LordMelkor> Enthusiast78 ya it worked thanks
[01:42] <Enthusiast78> LordMelkor: Pretty cool!
[01:42] <Mischevious> nate_, cobra? never heard of it.. :-D and 7$ wow..
[01:42] <Mischevious> must be obscure
[01:42] <bimberi> Zibby: oops, didn't see your post :)
[01:42] <ubuntu_tester> do you think the nvidia raid drivers are natively installed on this 'live cd'
[01:42] <nate_> yeah 4 channel
[01:42] <Mischevious> ubuntu_tester, maybe
[01:43] <Mischevious> nate_, cheap stuff works good with linux though.
[01:43] <ubuntu_tester> whats the command to mount that partition?
[01:43] <Mischevious> nate_, because it usually uses default drivers
[01:43] <nate_> yeah ubuntu_tester...windoze is only good for the main stream 3d games
[01:43] <hippie23> does any1 know how to disable the internal montor on a iMac dv400....... Im running an external monitor cuz the internal one is almost gone, I want to turn thin internal one off and have just the external monitor since the imac is on the floor.. running Ubuntu Breezy
[01:43] <Zibby> phusniken: The packages you want are in universe, so you have to add universe to your sources.list
[01:43] <DVSoftware> hello
[01:43] <juztin> as far as standard screen sizes....640x480, then 800x600, then 1024x768....what is next after 1024x768?
[01:43] <sinclair44> i've got what appears to be a copy-protected audio CD: when i put it in the drive, it spins for a moment and spits it back out. is there any way to force it to mount, or to see an error message at least?
[01:44] <ubuntu_tester> i wanna try running WoW using wine, if that works then im done with windows
[01:44] <DVSoftware> 1280x1024
[01:44] <juztin> ty
[01:44] <Mischevious> juztin, 1152x1024
[01:44] <pvd2006> Whats up  with all these samba port scans... Ive had like 40 in the last 6 hours.
[01:44] <juztin> um
[01:44] <Mischevious> juztin, 1152 comes first
[01:44] <nate_> yeah mischevious i also bought a coldcathode 3 fancontroller from vantec and a round ide my case is freakin sick looking
[01:44] <Zibby> bimberi: np, I never remember to use the bot anyway :)
[01:44] <brenner> ubuntu_tester: sys >help >starter guide >mount windows partitions
[01:44] <ubuntu_tester> thanks
[01:44] <bimberi> sinclair44: my PC does that with bad CD's
[01:44] <RipVanFish> :(
[01:44] <DVSoftware> i need information what ubuntu uses for xorg configuration autodetection on livecd?
[01:45] <Mischevious> DVSoftware, what do you mean
[01:45] <DVSoftware> i'm building my custom livecd and i desperately need some sort of detection
[01:45] <Consty> Whenever I play videos on my computer (after downloading the restricted codecs pack) whenever I skip backward/forward I sometimes hear a brief squeal before the sound starts up again.  I've narrowed it down to the codecs because it happens with all video players and mp3 files play fine with the same done in XMMS with no problems.  So I dont think it's an ALSA issue either.
[01:45] <sinclair44> bimberi: the CD plays fine in my stereo, so i guess it's intentionally done for copy protection? i've got two here that don't work, but all my others seem fine
[01:45] <brenner> ubuntu_tester: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions might be helpful too
[01:45] <DVSoftware> ubuntu correctly configures xorg for my notebook
[01:45] <bimberi> sinclair44: kk
[01:46] <ubuntu_tester> Hey thanks brenner, im reading this help it is very good
[01:46] <DVSoftware> knoppix's detection script fails for example
[01:46] <cocozz> Hi, is there any way to contact an ubuntu package maintainer ?
[01:46] <Mischevious> DVSoftware, oh, ubutnu owns
[01:46] <ubuntu_tester> i use slack a long time ago, wow this is light years ahead it seems
[01:46] <ubuntu_tester> like slack 6
[01:47] <DVSoftware> Mischevious: can you please point me to some resource about xorg autodetection
[01:48] <phusniken> when trying to start vnc i'm getting an error about oepning font fixed
[01:48] <RipVanFish> anybody know what's wrong with my ethernet?
[01:49] <Zibby> !tell cocozz about bugtracker
[01:49] <nate_> does anyone know where i could get an
[01:49] <nate_> i tunes emulater for my ipod?
[01:49] <Zibby> RipVanFish: try the driver provided by VIA as previously suggested.
[01:49] <Abnix> ok, I gotta ask, is there *anyone* that truely uses term windows with the default black text on white background?
[01:50] <RipVanFish> Zibby: oh that directed me to an XP driver :S
[01:50] <Zibby> Abnix: You hear crickets chirping.
[01:50] <brenner> Abnix: i'm sure there are
[01:51] <Abnix> Zibby: that's what I thought!
[01:51] <majd> hey, with the default driver for my printer, i don't have an option to print in draft
[01:51] <majd> is there a way to fix this?
[01:51] <Zibby> majd: Empty your toner cartridge.
[01:51] <majd> i tried that
[01:51] <Abnix> hehe  from the gentoo channel with the same question:  18:50 <DJGummikuh> Abnix: I do  18:51 <DJGummikuh> because I don't know how to change
[01:51] <majd> made a mess
[01:52] <nate_> han anyone tried to run an ipod on linux?
[01:52] <crash_> Just installed Dapper Flight 5.. no sound. ^^;;
[01:52] <majd> nate_, i did
[01:52] <nate_> any tips majd?
[01:52] <Zibby> nate_: ubuntu sees it no problem.
[01:52] <RipVanFish> Zibby: aha I found something
[01:52] <DVSoftware> nate_: amarok
[01:52] <nate_> use amarok?
[01:52] <RipVanFish> The Ethernet hardware consists of two parts: a PHY chip, and a MAC chip. It's the MAC chip that requires the drivers. RTL8201x is a PHY only chip which does NOT need any driver at all.
[01:52] <DVSoftware> yes
[01:52] <crash_> I believe I agree with DVSoftware on that.
[01:52] <majd> personally, i'm a noob, so i probably did something lucky. I used gtkpod (i think that was it's name) and linux auto mounted it...no problem
[01:52] <majd> it was a breeze tbh
[01:52] <nate_> is that for KDE or Gnome DVSoftware?
[01:52] <Enthusiast78> I have installed locales and localeconf and set the default system locale to 'C', but my user still has it set to another language... How can I change my user settings? I want plain English, I think 'C' English is the thing...
[01:52] <majd> gnome i believe
[01:53] <oblib> How do I customize the image that displays after logging in but before my background kicks in?
[01:53] <crash_> KDE.
[01:53] <oblib> With "Human" it's just plain brown
[01:53] <nate_> so that will work with Ubuntu then ?
[01:53] <majd> nate_, yeah , i got it to work
[01:53] <crash_> It'd install the necessary stuff with the whole apt-get and all.
[01:53] <nate_> so once i find my ipod...its somewhere around my house and use amarok?
[01:53] <brenner> oblib: sys>admin>login>gtk greeter>bg color
[01:53] <RipVanFish> Zibby: can you send me that link again just in case?
[01:54] <brenner> oblib: or just use gtweakui :P
[01:54] <crash_> Just installed Dapper Flight 5.. no sound. ^^;; Ideas?
[01:54] <nate_> did u get amarok from apt get?
[01:54] <oblib> brenner, can I do an image, or just a color?
[01:54] <crimsun> crash_: pastebin the output from ``lspci -v && cat /proc/asound/cards && amixer -c0''
[01:54] <crash_> Sure I did.  Might have gotten it with the whole-on Kubuntu-desktop package, but it'd be good.
[01:54] <oblib> brenner, nm found it
[01:55] <crash_> Pastebin-- that a channel on FreeNode?
[01:55] <brenner> oblib: colour onlyafaik.  why would you image it anwyay?  it lasts for half a second
[01:55] <crimsun> !tell crash_ about pastebin
[01:55] <FunkTard> Please can someone tell me what the password is for the ubuntu "virtual appliance" that you can download from vmware?....I can't install software because I don't have the password
[01:55] <crimsun> FunkTard: see the vmware Web page
[01:55] <crash_> Gotcha, I'll do that.
[01:56] <nate_> where do you guys get dapper?
[01:56] <oblib> brenner, it's for a mythTV box, and the brown blurb is ugly. I'll do black if not an image
[01:56] <FunkTard> crimsun, it says the password is vmware....but that doesn't work
[01:57] <kapputu> Hi All
[01:57] <kapputu> Have a question
[01:57] <FlannelKing> kapputu: ask away
[01:57] <juztin> whats the command to reconfigure xserver?
[01:57] <brenner> oblib: i've gotten rid of the brown entirely (even usplahs)
[01:57] <brenner> !tell juztin about xorg
[01:57] <crash_> Pastebinned as "Soundcheckthingy".. :-P
[01:57] <kapputu> FlannelKing: I have two Hard disks. One of them has Ubuntu installed. the other is free. How do I find its name and format it?
[01:58] <nate_> do it in bios auto detect it kapputu
[01:58] <elsamu> hello! someone can help me introduce special characters without using gnome map char?
[01:58] <neo911> waa am running out of diskspace!!!
[01:58] <Josiah2> quick question, what filemanager does ubuntu use?
[01:58] <crash_> crimsun: Pastebinned as "Soundcheckthingy".. :-P
[01:58] <_jason> Josiah2: nautilus
[01:59] <Josiah2> thanks
[01:59] <crimsun> crash_: yes, next time please give me the url, as I'm using a crippled Web browser atm
[01:59] <crash_> crimsun: Oh yeah-- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10677 would be it
[01:59] <FlannelKing> kapputu: don't ask me ;) heh, anyway, it's most likely /dev/hdb if its IDE or... /dev/sdb (not sure about the middle letter) if its a SCSI/ATA whatever else drive
[02:00] <kapputu> ok, easy question guys. How do I find the hard drives connected to my computer?
[02:00] <kapputu> I need the command
[02:00] <crimsun> crash_: in a Terminal, please try: amixer sset 'External Amplifier' off
[02:00] <kapputu> no GUI
[02:00] <ubuntu_tester> is there a program similar to newsleecher on linux?
[02:00] <void^> fdisk -l
[02:01] <Xenguy> kapputu: fdisk -l
[02:01] <ipfw> Umm, I must have missed something -- The freaking kernel source is 40+ MEG now !
[02:01] <ipfw> geez
[02:01] <crimsun> ipfw: no, that's correct.
[02:01] <oblib> thanks brenner
[02:01] <crash_> crimsun: no sound yet... I'm gonna check with my headphones for good measure
[02:01] <keithhhhhhhhh> hey what does control alt backspace do, is it just a quick logout?
[02:02] <_jason> ubuntu_tester: what does newleecher do?
[02:02] <ipfw> crimsun: I remember when I thought it was bloated breaking 10/15Meg
[02:02] <void^> keith: kills the X server
[02:02] <nate_> peace out
[02:02] <ubuntu_tester> it is a quick way of searching through usenet
[02:02] <_jason> keithhhhhhhhh: restarts X, some will say 'zap'
[02:02] <ipfw> crimsun: they had better start packaging some pics & vids with it !
[02:02] <keithhhhhhhhh> yup did that well hehe
[02:02] <elsamu> does anybody know how to introduce special chars w/out using the gnome map char or similar?
[02:02] <elsamu>  i think it's ctrl + shift + charcode
[02:02] <crimsun> ipfw: heh.
[02:02] <keithhhhhhhhh> Im looking for the old kill command
[02:02] <michael117> Is there a way I can make XMMS simulate 5.1 while playing a stereo mp3 file?
[02:02] <elsamu> however i cannot introduce zeros.. so many of the chars dont appear
[02:02] <kapputu> Xenguy: how do I mount the partition?
[02:03] <keithhhhhhhhh> I remember control alt esc use to kill apps
[02:03] <ipfw> crimsun: for 40 meg it should be able to make my coffee, give me sex, and do the dishes --- I mean, thats almost the size of the EMACS OS (text editor) :P
[02:03] <polochica> hello all. does anyone have experience with PDA phones and syncing them with ubuntu? is it easy/hard? are there only certain PDA phones i can get?
[02:04] <void^> ipfw: i'm sure you can install it on your coffee machine, sex dolls and dishwashers :P
[02:04] <FunkTard> ubuntu doesn't have nedit?  I did a search and all I found was KIconEdit
[02:04] <ipfw> void^: To late, I already have them running NetBSD, and the whole base install is about the same size as the Linux Kern ;)
[02:04] <_jason> ipfw: don't worry, all the girls will come running to you when they see that source code
[02:04] <brenner> polochica: it's in universe
[02:05] <brenner> FunkTard: was meant for you
[02:05] <FunkTard> brenner, it asked me if I wanted to add universe when I selected eclipse and I said yes
[02:05] <IdleOne> ubuntu_tester, try apt-cache search usenet | less
[02:05] <ipfw> _jason: want some fun, greap -R <BadWord> /path/to/extracted/kernel/    ... See the thousands of times they have gotten frustrated and called one another, or the code names !!! :)
[02:06] <_jason> ipfw: ha
[02:06] <brenner> ubotu: tell FunkTard about universe
[02:06] <ipfw> _jason: : I did stats on it one time your basic "bad words" are found 200-1000+ times (per word)
[02:06] <ipfw> _jason: I might redo my findings on my blog sometime, when I get really bored
[02:07] <kapputu> how do I mount a partition with rw permissions for all users?
[02:07] <juztin> what is the console command to run ubuntu's default terminal window?
[02:07] <_jason> kapputu: what filesystem?
[02:08] <_jason> juztin: gnome-terminal
[02:08] <juztin> _jason, ty
[02:08] <kapputu> _jason: ext3
[02:08] <ipfw> Umm, a bit late now, but does ubuntu do that unloading of modules not used automatically stuff ?
[02:08] <_jason> kapputu: just change the permissions on the files
[02:08] <kapputu> Is there some documentation on the fstab file?
[02:08] <juztin> _jason, is there another one?  that one didn't work
[02:08] <ipfw> if it does I'm in _big_ trouble
[02:08] <juztin> _jason, i'm actually running xubuntu
[02:08] <Josiah2> did it give me an option to set root password in the install process?
[02:08] <_jason> juztin: that's the default one in gnome.  Maybe you are looking for xterm?
[02:08] <crimsun> ipfw: no
[02:09] <Josiah2> for some reason, it won't let me su
[02:09] <ipfw> juztin: they came out with a xubuntu release now ?
[02:09] <juztin> _jason, that might be it, thx :)
[02:09] <_jason> juztin: don't know what default terminal in xubuntu is
[02:09] <kapputu> _jason: also is teh fstab file tab-seperated or space seperated?
[02:09] <juztin> ipfw, not a release, just an install method
[02:09] <crimsun> _jason: xfce4-terminal
[02:09] <crimsun> or perhaps to juztin
[02:09] <_jason> juztin: ^
[02:09] <brenner> kapputu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions (look at the fstab edititing stuff near the middle)
[02:09] <Enthusiast78> any idea how do I change the system language?
[02:10] <ipfw> juztin: yeah, I typed apt-get install xubuntu-dekstop the other day, its still linked heavy to *cough* gnome, so I turned it down for "xfce4"
[02:10] <_jason> ubotu: tell Josiah2 about rootsudo
[02:10] <brenner> ubotu: tell Josiah2 about root
[02:10] <soop> Josiah2: no it didnt
[02:10] <soop> Josiah2: sudo passwd root
[02:10] <Josiah2> thanks
[02:10] <soop> but you dont need it
[02:10] <ipfw> juztin: I may end up needing the gnome libs, but I don't want my xfce4 bloated by being linked to them as deps
[02:10] <juztin> ipfw, i did a fresh server install, then did that
[02:10] <soop> just sudo everything
[02:10] <juztin> ipfw, it's a lot liter that way
[02:10] <juztin> ipfw, no kde or gnome stuff
[02:11] <ipfw> juztin: it sucked down gnomelibs on your box though, if you just did: apt get install xfce4, it would have only sucked down gtk/glib/X
[02:11] <Josiah2> appreciate it guys
[02:11] <juztin> ipfw, ah
[02:11] <_jason> kapputu: probably either one,I just copy the above lines and edit
[02:12] <ipfw> of course, you wouldn't get that pretty gnome-desktop background manager (costing you speed/processing and about 40Meg HD space)  ... :)
[02:12] <ic56>  lksd
[02:13] <ladofnod> is anyone aware of how to slim down java for low end machines? running azureus brings everything down to a standstill
[02:13] <Eleaf> hi
[02:14] <IdleOne> hello Eleaf
[02:14] <ipfw> gnome is getting pretty bloated imho, if something requires gnome -- then gnome requires _everything_ known to man :)
[02:14] <Eleaf> ;) mm
[02:14] <crimsun> crash_: any luck?
[02:15] <kapputu> brenner: It doesn't say anything about ext3 partitions
[02:15] <crash_> crimsun: Not... really... :-S
[02:15] <crimsun> crash_: ok, unmute that setting again
[02:15] <crimsun> crash_: then try combinations of toggling 'Headphone Jack Sense' and 'Line Jack Sense'
[02:15] <crash_> Yeah, did it.
[02:16] <natalie> hello all, I am hoping that someone might be able to point me in the direction of the forum message that might be able to help me fix my problem.  Whenever I start up 5.10 I cannot start it up in normal mode.  Furthermore, I must log in as root during recovery mode in order to avoid my system from freezing completely.  Any suggestions or pointing in the right direction would be helpful, thank you.
[02:18] <crash_> crimsun: I'm gonna load up DSLinux and see if my problem is in that or not.  If there's a problem there, it might be hardware mistake.. recent fiddling with tower and mobo and all...
[02:18] <kapputu> _jason: how do I mount ext3 partitions?
[02:18] <shiv> how do I open an encrypted  rar file in linux? I have the password but it never asks?
[02:19] <_jason> kapputu: mount -t ext3 /dev/<device> /mount/point
[02:19] <crimsun> crash_: no, it should be (as in 99% confidence level) a mixer setting
[02:19] <imperfect-> OKay. I'm about to scream. I have built the nvidia drivers from source yet, no matter what I do, it is telling me ther eis an API mismatch.
[02:19] <_jason> ls
[02:19] <kapputu> _jason: permissions? Only root can write to that folder
[02:19] <_jason> kapputu: chmod or chown the files
[02:20] <imperfect-> I have run updatedb and there is only _ONE_ nvidia.ko
[02:20] <imperfect-> this makes no sense and i'm ready to screen.
[02:20] <crimsun> imperfect-: uname -r
[02:20] <shiv> how do I open an encrypted  rar file in linux? I have the password but it never asks?
[02:20] <_jason> shiv: unrar x file.rar
[02:20] <crimsun> shiv: make sure unrar-nonfree is installed
[02:20] <imperfect-> 2.6.13-15.0
[02:20] <imperfect-> 2.6.13-15.9
[02:20] <imperfect-> er 8
[02:20] <imperfect-> hehe
[02:20] <imperfect-> wrong box
[02:20] <imperfect-> sorry
[02:20] <imperfect-> 2.6.12-10-i386
[02:21] <kapputu> _jason: what if I want to copy something to a folder there?
[02:21] <imperfect-> crimsun : I checked nvidia.ko and it's FRESH built within the last 5 minutes yet when ir eboot it says API mismatch
[02:21] <crimsun> imperfect-: dpkg -l linux-headers-$(uname -r)|grep ^ii
[02:21] <_jason> kapputu: it's the same as a directory on your hard disk.  Just make sure you have permission for the folder
[02:22] <crash_> I enabled everything in the mixer in some maddened attempt at hearing stuff.. nothing.  Gonna just run a little check if it's hardware anyways.  *sigh*
[02:22] <Devil^Chat> help me about apache2 pls
[02:22] <imperfect-> crimsun : It matches.
[02:22] <crimsun> crash_: you can't unmute _everything_; you can only unmute select elements
[02:22] <imperfect-> crimsun : It's telling me that I'm using a nvidia kernel driver that is 1.7xx and that my compiled version is the newest 1.8xx
[02:23] <Devil^Chat> i just resintall apache but now ca`t run
[02:23] <crimsun> imperfect-: are you doing this with gdm stopped (well, X Window System stopped)?
[02:23] <crash_> Well, within reason.  :-P
[02:23] <imperfect-> crimsun : Am I doing what?
[02:24] <crimsun> imperfect-: did you stop gdm before compiling the driver?

[02:25] <shiv> jason: that was awesome. How come it shows me the password of the file as well in terminal?
[02:25] <FunkTard> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://us.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_universe_binary-i386_Packages)
[02:25] <FunkTard> what is that about...I was following the guide
[02:25] <_jason> FunkTard: your /etc/apt/sources.list has a duplicate entry probably
[02:26] <crimsun> imperfect-: hmm, do you have linux-restricted-modules\* installed?
[02:26] <crimsun> imperfect-: that is, linux-restricted-modules-common and linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[02:26] <_jason> shiv: what do you mean?
[02:26] <imperfect-> crimsun : Nope
[02:26] <FunkTard> _jason, I haven't touched that file...only used the gui
[02:26] <Mobus> I got the Doomlegacy and the Doomlegacy WAD files, but when I type "doomlegacy" into the terminal, it doesn't work.  What's the problem?
[02:26] <crimsun> imperfect-: what about nvidia-glx\* ?
[02:26] <ddg_bluesky> hi all
[02:26] <_jason> FunkTard: can you put the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list on pastebin?
[02:26] <imperfect-> crimsun : I know I don't because I did that on an installation two days ago and thought that was what was causing this problem
[02:26] <imperfect-> crimsun : so when I started over I made sure
[02:27] <Devil^Chat> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10678 <<<< can same one help me ?????
[02:27] <ddg_bluesky> I was able to get the apache web server working
[02:27] <ddg_bluesky> and php

[02:27] <imperfect-> crimsun : I've run updatedb man there's only one nvidia.ko on the system.
[02:27] <_jason> ubotu: tell FunkTard about pastebin
[02:27] <shiv> jason: it showed me the password of the locked file in terminal as well with that command
[02:27] <crimsun> imperfect-: and my question regarding nvidia-glx\* ?
[02:27] <imperfect-> no,its' not installed.
[02:27] <ddg_bluesky> How can I test to see if mysql is installed
[02:28] <imperfect-> crimsun : have I explained that I get get it to work until I reboot?
[02:28] <seraphim> type mysql in a terminal
[02:28] <imperfect-> I have no flippin clue where it's getting this nvidia.ko from
[02:28] <crimsun> imperfect-: ok, please replicate the error for me from a fresh boot. Then I'll need pastebinned the output from dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[02:29] <no0tic> hi, it's possible to pass boot options to boot scripts?
[02:30] <no0tic> or, it's possible for boot scripts to read specific boot options?
[02:30] <_jason> FunkTard: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list     and then delete line 39, ctrl-o to save, ctrl-x to exit, then issue the command: sudo apt-get update
[02:30] <easy> help me
[02:30] <_jason> !helpme
[02:30] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[02:30] <IdleOne> easy,  ask a question
[02:30] <keithhhhhhhhh> does anyone know where programs go when installed thru WINE
[02:30] <keithhhhhhhhh> ?
[02:30] <Mobus> apt-get*
[02:30] <seraphim> ~/.wine
[02:31] <keithhhhhhhhh> really hehe
[02:31] <Mobus> I got the Doomlegacy and the Doomlegacy WAD files, but when I type "doomlegacy" into the terminal, it doesn't work.  What's the problem?
[02:31] <chuckyp> Xenguy, well neither .xinitrc or .xsession or ~/Desktop/Autostart worked  I had to add it via the autostart applications menu item.  I've done regex searches for it in my home directory and can't find where it added the comand.  But it works.
[02:31] <kapputu> how do I run a media server?
[02:31] <chuckyp> Mobus, what do you mean doens't work?  do you get a message?
[02:31] <imperfect-> crimsun : What is NVRM?
[02:32] <Mobus> Chuckyp: File not Found
[02:32] <JoeMorris> hmmm
[02:32] <Mobus> NVRAM is your hard drive
[02:32] <imperfect-> Mobus: No, I mean NVRM in a dmesg output
[02:32] <kapputu> how do I run a media server?
[02:32] <seraphim> kapputu: what kind of media?
[02:32] <imperfect-> Mobus: whatever that is, is what is loading the wrong version of the module from I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE
[02:32] <Mobus> probably the hard drive space being used by dmesg
[02:32] <cafuego> nvram is your hard drive?
[02:33] <imperfect-> there is no A
[02:33] <imperfect-> NVRM:
[02:33] <jbroome> !tell C-O-L-T-AWAY about away
[02:33] <Mobus> NVRM is short for NVRAM
[02:33] <Devil^Chat> /usr/sbin/apache2ctl start
[02:33] <Devil^Chat> apache2: could not open document config file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[02:33] <crimsun> imperfect-: modinfo nvidia -> pastebin
[02:33] <chuckyp> mobus well thats not the name of the binarary then
[02:33] <Devil^Chat> stil can`t run
[02:33] <kapputu> seraphim: audio for now
[02:33] <Mobus> do you know what it is though
[02:33] <Mobus> it came right off of apt
[02:34] <seraphim> kapputu:  you could set up a shoutcast radio-stream for example
[02:34] <cafuego> Mobus: Well, on the planet I live on, NVRM is a prefix the nvidia module spits out when it loads.
[02:34] <Devil^Chat> missing apache.conf
[02:34] <imperfect-> crimsun : I can't pastebin i dont have a mouse or anything
[02:34] <Mobus> well, I use ATI so I don't fiddle with that stuff, so you're probably right about that
[02:34] <themachine> what can I use to find all local computers on the network and list their addresses?
[02:34] <crimsun> imperfect-: download the script that is provided on that Web site
[02:34] <kapputu> seraphim: how would I do that?
[02:35] <seraphim> themachine: arp -a on the router
[02:35] <themachine> thanks
[02:35] <cafuego> ping -b subnet/mask
[02:35] <imperfect-> I dont even have lynx at this point
[02:35] <imperfect-> hold on
[02:35] <cafuego> THEN arp -a :-)
[02:35] <criminy> I'm using dapper and I see "Offical package for Debian/<blank>" apt source lines. For dapper do I use unstable or testing?
[02:35] <seraphim> themachine: or "nmap <IP_ADDRESS>-255"
[02:35] <crimsun> criminy: neither. Mixing repos is a bad idea.
[02:35] <keithhhhhhhhh> is there anyway to remove all files from a directory and subdirectories?
[02:35] <Consty> Is there a newer release codec pack for debian/ubuntu than listed in the restricted file formats section?  Because the xvid/divx codec I believe is borked.  I'm getting some weird sound problems randomly while seeking through video.. but no problems with ogm.
[02:35] <criminy> eh
[02:36] <criminy> I just want to get gaim-cvs
[02:36] <Consty> A slight sqeal before the audio begins playing again
[02:36] <seraphim> kapputu: go to shoutcast.com -> downloads
[02:36] <crimsun> criminy: then apt-get build-dep, download the source, and build it yourself.
[02:36] <_jason> Consty: you can download it directly form mplayer's site if you think that's a problem.  For me, they work fine
[02:36] <JonathanKent> what is vpn ?
[02:36] <JonathanKent> !vpn
[02:36] <ubotu> vpn is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[02:36] <_jason> keithhhhhhhhh: rm -r
[02:36] <Consty> _jason: aren't they in rpm on their website?  what app do you use to covert rpm to deb then?
[02:36] <Mobus> VPN is a Virtual Private Network
[02:37] <keithhhhhhhhh> thanks Jason
[02:37] <_jason> Consty: no, they are just a tar.gz I believe
[02:37] <Mobus> its like Remote Desktop, but better and more secure
[02:37] <_jason> Consty: I'm wrong.  It's actually a tar.bz2 :)
[02:38] <hippie23> any1 know how to turn the 3Dsound effect off on a iMac g3? running ubuntu breezy
[02:38] <keithhhhhhhhh> that was really easy :D
[02:38] <Devil^Chat> Mobus, i have missing apache2.conf what must i do now ?
[02:38] <Devil^Chat> apache2: could not open document config file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[02:38] <Jaga> vpn is like remote desktop??! ahem.........
[02:38] <Mobus> sudo apt-get -f install
[02:38] <Mobus> and only that
[02:38] <Mobus> if not I don't really know
[02:39] <Mobus> I haven't done much with web servers
[02:39] <imperfect-> Is there anyway to see where the hell a module is being loaded from?
[02:39] <Devil^Chat> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded
[02:39] <Devil^Chat> just that
[02:39] <Devil^Chat> stil not working
[02:39] <imperfect-> Is it possible to have something compiled into the kernel but still be able to remove it?
[02:39] <crimsun> imperfect-: have you pasted what I asked for?
[02:39] <crimsun> it's really difficult to troubleshoot blind
[02:40] <seraphim> sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 - and then good luck :/
[02:40] <IdleOne> Devil^Chat, sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:40] <akcom> Is there a utility that will allow me to convert .dmg files to .iso's?
[02:40] <xim> hi! is there a way to downgrade a package?
[02:40] <imperfect-> crimsun: I dont have a web browser at the moment.
[02:40] <akcom> Is there a utility that will allow me to convert .dmg files to .iso's?
[02:40] <crimsun> imperfect-: can you install w3m or links?
[02:41] <imperfect-> crimsun: I am seeing a loaded kernel module that is SMALLER than the only nvidia.ko I can find on my box. can you please tell me where the hell it's coming from?
[02:41] <crimsun> imperfect-: I really, really, really need that modinfo output.
[02:41] <seraphim> xim: no. there are only the newest packages available in the sources
[02:41] <imperfect-> crimsun : there's no version info...
[02:41] <yamathan> Hmm ...
[02:41] <crimsun> imperfect-: doesn't matter, there's a path.
[02:41] <crimsun> I'm much more interested in the path.
[02:41] <yamathan> Can anyone give me some advice on getting ports open for BitTorrent?
[02:41] <seraphim> xim: you could remove it and search an old .deb or sources on the web
[02:42] <yamathan> My router is NOT a happy camper right now.
[02:42] <xim> how can i remove the most recent version without removing all packages that depend on it?
[02:42] <seraphim> yamathan: shorewall
[02:42] <imperfect-> crimsun: It's in volatile.
[02:42] <yamathan> seraphim, is that packaged anywhere?
[02:42] <crimsun> imperfect-: tmpfs, but what's the precise path?
[02:42] <imperfect-> crimsun: Where do the mods in volatile come from?!
[02:42] <Consty> _jason: well the codec pack looks like it's from a long time ago so I dunno.. are you sure when you're playing xvid/divx and you're skipping around you never hear a very slight squealch?
[02:43] <imperfect-> crimsun: lib/modules/uname-r/volatile/nvidia.ko
[02:43] <seraphim> yamathan: yes, sure. just apt-get install it
[02:43] <FunkTard> does ubuntu really not come default with a c compiler?
[02:43] <_jason> Consty: I don't do that much, let me try
[02:43] <IdleOne> akcom, google is your friend :) www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040121135301830
[02:43] <themachine> how would I mount an nfs thats on my own home network? I have everything through a router.
[02:43] <akcom> IdleOne, I tried google
[02:43] <seraphim> yamathan: for configuration, there is a great documentation at http://www.shorewall.net/
[02:43] <akcom> and it just  brought up a perl script which did not work
[02:43] <chuckyp> themachine, what type of share is it?
[02:43] <azadder> is wine notorious for... not working?
[02:43] <akcom> adna bunch of windows solutions that mention linux arbitrarily
[02:43] <themachine> nfs
[02:43] <akcom> hdiutils is darwin only
[02:44] <chuckyp> !nfs
[02:44] <ubotu> methinks nfs is see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSClientHowTo and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSServerHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[02:44] <yamathan> seraphim, thanks.
[02:44] <chuckyp> akcom, what are you trying to do?
[02:44] <crimsun> imperfect-: they're mounted as tmpfs from /lib/linux-restricted-modules/$(uname -r)
[02:44] <yamathan> Thanks a lot, actually.
[02:44] <akcom> chuckyp, convert a DMG file to an iso
[02:44] <imperfect-> crimsun: that dir does not exist.
[02:44] <yamathan> With BitTorrent the world could easily become my oyster.
[02:45] <crimsun> imperfect-: right, it shouldn't if you don't have l-r-m installed
[02:45] <bimberi> azadder: yes, unfortunately
[02:45] <crimsun> imperfect-: did you generate an initramfs with it built-in?
[02:45] <azadder> sucks...
[02:45] <chuckyp> What is a dmg?
[02:45] <yamathan> seraphim, it's claiming -- lemme quote ...
[02:45] <_jason> Consty: nope
[02:45] <bimberi> FunkTard: yes, it's on the CD but not installed by default.  Remeber it's "linux for human beings" :P
[02:45] <bimberi> *Remember
[02:46] <yamathan> seraphim, "the firewall won't be started/stopped unless it is configured".
[02:46] <Rouge8> chuckyp: I think that'd the OS X binary format
[02:46] <chuckyp> akcom, did you try that dmg to iso perl script?
[02:46] <Rouge8> I could be wrong though
[02:46] <yamathan> I don't even HAVE a firewall under Linux and the router doesn't have one hardwired last I checked.
[02:46] <seraphim> shorewall is the firewall
[02:46] <yamathan> Then ...
[02:46] <_jason> Consty: what player are you using?
[02:46] <yamathan> What's the problem?
[02:46] <chuckyp> akcom, correction dmg2iso
[02:46] <cafuego> You don't need a firewall unless you installed services.
[02:47] <seraphim> you have to configure it
[02:47] <akcom> chuckyp, yes, I have
[02:47] <chuckyp> !firewall
[02:47] <ubotu> Ubuntu has, like every other linux distribution, firewalling built into the kernel. A simple frontend to this firewall is firestarter, which can be installed via synaptic.
[02:47] <akcom> and it produced an invalid iso
[02:47] <cafuego> and even then, only if you want to restrict access to those services
[02:47] <imperfect-> crimsun: I just got it to load a desktop
[02:47] <imperfect-> crimsun: I can at least use pastebin now
[02:47] <imperfect-> crimsun: brb
[02:47] <chuckyp> akcom, thats seems to be what everyone is using.
[02:47] <akcom> so i noticed
[02:47] <yamathan> How odd.
[02:47] <yamathan> I guess I did install "services" ad verbatim.
[02:48] <imperfect-> crimsun: i was going to ask you about initrd
[02:48] <hippie23> test
[02:48] <Consty> _jason: it's player independent.. happens with xine/mplayer (those are the only two I tested)
[02:48] <imperfect-> crimsun: I'm using a stock kernel.... is that even possible?
[02:48] <crimsun> imperfect-: sure
[02:48] <imperfect-> crimsun: that woudl explain a lot.. brbr I'm going to reboot
[02:48] <crimsun> well, "stock" meaning Ubuntu-provided or vanilla upstream?
[02:49] <imperfect-> ubuntu-provided
[02:49] <crimsun> sure. Did you modify /etc/mkinitramfs/modules, /etc/modules, etc.?
[02:49] <seraphim> yamathan: your router got 2 interfaces i presume? then take this guide: http://www.shorewall.net/two-interface.htm
[02:50] <_jason> Consty: maybe #mplayer chat has heard of the problem
[02:50] <yamathan> seraphim, to be honest I didn't know I had ONE interface until now.
[02:50] <FunkTard> bimberi, I saw it under Development, but it asked for the CD which I dont have....I'm on vmware.
[02:50] <seraphim> yamathan: how are you connected to the net then? ;)
[02:50] <yamathan> seraphim, well-met.  X D
[02:51] <seraphim> yamathan: i was meant ethernet-cards
[02:51] <imperfect-> damnit
[02:51] <seraphim> -was
[02:51] <imperfect-> my term is hosed
[02:51] <imperfect-> brb
[02:51] <bimberi> FunkTard: it's also in the internet repositories.  Best to install the 'build-essential' metapackage btw.
[02:51] <Eleaf> yum yum
[02:52] <yamathan> seraphim, you mean more than one computer attached to the router?
[02:52] <seraphim> no.
[02:52] <FunkTard> bimberi, should I be doing this through "add applications" or through "Synaptic Package Manager" ?
[02:52] <easy>   I can get root
[02:52] <ariel> hey
[02:52] <seraphim> one card for the net, one for the hub/switch/computer?
[02:52] <ariel> is there a webpage with the description of the packages and their latest changelog?
[02:52] <seraphim> inside the router
[02:53] <abhorsen> hey guys, I was trying to install a TV Tuner card I just got using wine, Im getting an error message, setup_extension nested exeption, , , , what does this mean (This is not the whole error message)
[02:53] <IdleOne> ariel, packages.ubuntu.com
[02:53] <ariel> IdleOne, thx
[02:53] <bimberi> FunkTard: synaptic, you'll need to disable the CD repository and add the "main" internet repository (if not already enabled), then it'll stop asking you for the CD
[02:53] <bimberi> FunkTard: Settings -> Repositories
[02:54] <seraphim> yamathan: if you give me your email-address i can send you my config-files for shorewall, so you will see how it is working
[02:54] <easy> I can get root
[02:54] <yamathan> seraphim, thanks.  It's<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:55] <`Boo`> hey everyone, i think i fucked up X... when i boot up, some screen comes up and says x cannot load, and it goes to a terminal.
[02:55] <yamathan> Oh, that reminds me -- if anyone needs a Gmail account, I have over 100, so just ask.
[02:55] <will_> same here

[02:55] <`Boo`> I was editing my xorg.cfg file for my keyboard before hthis happened
[02:55] <_jason> j1p: try pressing both at the same time to paste
[02:56] <j1p> how about copy?
[02:56] <will_> press both left and right mouse buttons to simulate a middle button click
[02:56] <will_> lol

[02:56] <_jason> j1p: just highlight the text
[02:56] <`Boo`> is there any way to use my backup xorg? how would i get xorg.conf.backup to xorg.conf
[02:56] <yamathan> Uh ...
[02:56] <themachine> I've configured nfs I'm not sure if I have the right syntax since I'm trying to mount through a router. I tried ls /net/<IP_ADDRESS>/home/glitch
[02:56] <themachine>  but it just hangs there
[02:56] <yamathan> seraphim:  Isn't shorewall.conf supposed to exist?
[02:56] <j1p> thanks a bunch jason_
[02:57] <seraphim> yes it is...
[02:57] <`Boo`> _jason, whats the command to copy a file and overwrite?

[02:59] <ubuntu> What package is responsible for changing the console font
[02:59] <yamathan> seraphim, I'm getting some issues with /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf

[03:01] <will_> mv oldfilename newfilename
[03:01] <will_> is used instead of a rename command
[03:01] <adriano> how would I change the background color before the desktop wallpaper loads?
[03:01] <IcemanV9> type "mv source.list source.list.bak" <-- example

[03:05] <vars> the do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   and then you can reconfigure x
[03:05] <seraphim> yamathan: i hope the two-interfaces configuration is the right one for you. if you have any problems try the shorewall.net page . i have to leave now... if you're stuck you can email me..
[03:06] <yamathan> seraphim, thanks.
[03:06] <easy>
[03:06] <HarryWong> Has anyone some advice on how to get sblive51 digital output to work? Have make work with suse, deb, and slack but.... no luck here yet
[03:06] <yamathan> seraphim, I'm LOOKING AT IT right now.  Why can't shorewall SEE it?  : P
[03:06] <crimsun> HarryWong: essentially the same way you'd do it in Debian.
[03:07] <bimberi> easy: you're welcome :)
[03:07] <seraphim> don't start shorewall before you have configured it!
[03:07] <seraphim> :D
[03:07] <yamathan> I DID.  That's the painy part.  X D
[03:07] <HarryWong> lol yamathan... OK, I lied on that one... buddy set it up for me.
[03:08] <themachine> for the syntax /net/<host>/<share> of autofs what would the host look like for a home network?
[03:10] <themachine> I tried <IP_ADDRESS> but it just sits there
[03:12] <CrashProne> crimsun: Yeah, mistake on my part.  Had forgotten some jumpers on the mobo in a recent switch.. ^^;;
[03:12] <CrashProne> Totally working now
[03:12] <easy> my root bad
[03:12] <themachine> I'm simply trying to get nfs working on my home network.
[03:15] <easy>
[03:16] <neurosis_> can anyone give me any idea why when i try to ftp out of ubuntu it stalls when trying to open a data port with both my router not blocking and my firewall turned completely off?
[03:16] <michael117>
[03:17] <andres-SEAQ> hi, someone mentioned earlier a metapackage for all the building apps, anyidea which one is it?
[03:17] <overrider> easy, did you write chinese purposely or did it just come out on my terminal that way?
[03:17] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_  did you tell it to use passive mode?  are you using gftp?
[03:17] <neurosis_> its the ftp client
[03:17] <neurosis_> ftp server on another puter
[03:17] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ on the same local network?
[03:17] <neurosis_> the client wont open the data connection
[03:18] <neurosis_> no
[03:18] <FliesLikeABrick> ok neurosis_ so please answer my first questions
[03:18] <neurosis_> i cant get a bot to connect out either
[03:18] <neurosis_> its not on the same local network
[03:18] <neurosis_> oh
[03:18] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ the questions before that:  are you using passive mode in ftp?
[03:18] <neurosis_> i dont think so
[03:18] <FliesLikeABrick> thats your problem
[03:18] <neurosis_> i just typed ftp ip port
[03:19] <useruser> does ubuntu run on macbooks yet?
[03:19] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ use google and read up on how ftp active and passive modes work
[03:19] <neurosis_> ok
[03:19] <ghost> okay now how do you launch a terminal from the keyboard? Thanks very much for the metacity info link
[03:19] <neurosis_> FliesLikeABrick: that doesnt explain why my bot wont connect out either
[03:19] <FliesLikeABrick> ghost you mean while in a GUI environment?  ctrl+alt+f2
[03:19] <ghost> yes
[03:19] <neurosis_> it resolves the addy
[03:19] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ yes it does, because if you weren't using passive mode with the bot it would have the same problem
[03:20] <phrowzen> hey
[03:20] <neurosis_> doh!
[03:20] <ghost> woooo
[03:20] <ghost> that was scary
[03:20] <phrowzen> does anyone know why sometimes scrolling in firefox is often quite slow?
[03:20] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_  what did you code the bot in?
[03:20] <ghost> yes but no
[03:20] <useruser> ghost: or alt-f2 xterm <enter>
[03:20] <neurosis_> FliesLikeABrick: how do you mean?
[03:20] <ghost> i want a nice gui terminal like i get when i click on the wee screen
[03:20] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ what is the bot?
[03:20] <neurosis_> eggdrop
[03:20] <useruser> ghost: alt-f2 gnome-terminal <enter>, i think
[03:20] <bimberi> ghost: alt-f2, gnome-terminal
[03:21] <_jason> ghost: alt+f2 and type 'gnome-terminal', you can also setup a keyboard shortcut in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[03:21] <neurosis_> it resolves the address of the server its trying to connect to
[03:21] <neurosis_> then tells me its not a valid server
[03:21] <gamma> does rhythmbox have the ability to add/remove files from ipods?
[03:21] <neurosis_> but im connecting to the same server from the same machine in xchat
[03:21] <useruser> phrowzen: it's a slow browser, basically
[03:21] <FliesLikeABrick> oh neurosis_ have you tried it with more than one server?
[03:21] <neurosis_> yea
[03:21] <neurosis_> several
[03:21] <FliesLikeABrick> phrowzen  what are the specs of the computer you're using it on?
[03:21] <phrowzen> useruser, really? that kind of sucks.
[03:21] <useruser> phrowzen: yeah
[03:21] <phrowzen> FliesLikeABrick, a64 3500+ 2.2GHz @ 2.64GHz/1GB DDR @ 480MHz ;\
[03:22] <FliesLikeABrick> phrowzen  scrolling with the mousewheel, or have you tried it with pgup/pgdn/spacebar as well?
[03:22] <useruser> phrowzen: are there any web pages in particular that makes it go slow?
[03:22] <ghost> excellent that did the job nicely thanks to all for the tips
[03:22] <neurosis_> im even trying to connect to the same server im connected to in irc with xchat
[03:22] <phrowzen> FliesLikeABrick, this is with the mouse wheel, i will try with pgup/dn/.spacebar
[03:22] <phrowzen> useruser, umm sec
[03:22] <greg> hello
[03:23] <NickGarvey> I am unable to get the keyboard to work in firefox flash games, how can I resolve this?
[03:23] <phrowzen> useruser, there are many.. but i just noticed this one in particular -- http://www.blaue0.net/p-tips-on-running-xgl -- towards the top of the page its slow, as soon as it gets into a listing of supported video cards, it scrolls smoothyl
[03:23] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ are you sure there is an ftp server running at the IP that you're trying?
[03:23] <k-0> Hi, has anyone had trouble using enlightenment with nvidia?
[03:23] <easy>
[03:23] <abhorsen> does anyone know why when running an installation under wine there is something about a rundull file?
[03:23] <phrowzen> err not that one
[03:23] <NickGarvey> I am trying to get a friend to use linux but he plays mainly flash games such as that, there is no chance he will switch otherwise
[03:23] <neurosis_> FliesLikeABrick: yea, im running it myself
[03:23] <phrowzen> useruser, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL -- that one sorry
[03:23] <_jason> NickGarvey: sorry for the stupid suggestion but this is the only thing I have ever needed to do: did you click on the game and then try the keyboard?
[03:23] <neurosis_> i can connect to it with a windows puter sitting right nex to me
[03:23] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ what kind of router are you using?
[03:23] <neurosis_> netgear
[03:23] <neurosis_> setup to run dmz
[03:23] <neurosis_> at the moment
[03:24] <FliesLikeABrick> that wouldn't affect outgoing connections neuro_
[03:24] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_  ^
[03:24] <abhorsen> someone?
[03:24] <FliesLikeABrick> NickGarvey flash games are fine in linux
[03:24] <neurosis_> i realize that
[03:24] <neurosis_> but i tuned my firewall on and nmaped it with the router in dmz mode and my firewall went nuts
[03:24] <k-0> Has anyone had trouble using enlightenment with nvidia?
[03:24] <neurosis_> so i know its getting incoming
[03:24] <neurosis_> then i turned my firewall off
[03:25] <neurosis_> and tried to connect the ftp server out and still no luck
[03:25] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ have you tried a normal ftp client from your desktop?
[03:25] <abhorsen> can someone help me?
[03:25] <greg> Hi. I'm installing kubuntu. Is this right channel for guidance?
[03:25] <FliesLikeABrick> !tell abhorsen  about ask
[03:25] <themachine> for the syntax /net/<host>/<share> of autofs what would the host look like for a home network with a router?
[03:25] <neurosis_> FliesLikeABrick: no, im new to gnome and dont know if there is a ftp client gui
[03:25] <_jason> greg: you can try here, #kubuntu is geared more towards kubuntu though
[03:25] <ronburgundy07> its called gftp
[03:25] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ do you have another computer you can try it on?
[03:25] <abhorsen> I did ask
[03:25] <abhorsen> does anyone know why when running an installation under wine there is something about a rundull file?
[03:26] <FliesLikeABrick> !tell abhorsen about repeat
[03:26] <neurosis_> flies: yes, sitting right here
[03:26] <FliesLikeABrick> sorry abhorsen  i meant that one
[03:26] <neurosis_> it connects
[03:26] <FliesLikeABrick> ok neurosis_
[03:26] <abhorsen> ok, sorry then
[03:26] <greg> Got a new HDD;  want / to be like 50 GB and /home to be 100 GB partition.  What does "automatically partition free space" do?
[03:27] <phrowzen> useruser, FliesLikeABrick -- i notice too, if i scroll for a fairly long time, my cpu usage will rocket to nearly 100%
[03:27] <Lil-Abner> Hi. Can anyone help a newbie get unconfused?
[03:27] <JoeMorris> ubuntu has potential but i still dont like it :(
[03:27] <useruser> phrowzen: yeah, that page scrolls slowly for me too (although I'm using a much slower machine)
[03:27] <_jason> Lil-Abner: just ask, if someone knows they will try :)
[03:28] <JoeMorris> maybe in 2008 ubuntu will be primetime
[03:28] <FliesLikeABrick> phrowzen have you installed the drivers for your video card?  it sounds like you need to get that set up so your GPU takes some of the load from rendering visual things such as windows and changes in them

[03:28] <useruser> phrowzen: it's probably something to do with the static content on the right
[03:28] <phrowzen> FliesLikeABrick, im using the nvidia-glx..
[03:28] <useruser> phrowzen: it'll force the browser to render the entire screen on each scroll, i think
[03:28] <gilberto> hello
[03:28] <FliesLikeABrick> phrowzen  are you sure you're actually using it, rather than just having it installed and not using it?
[03:28] <phrowzen> FliesLikeABrick, yes.. driver is set to "nvidia" in xorg.conf, and i used to run xgl, which required it
[03:28] <FliesLikeABrick> alright phrowzen  just making sure
[03:29] <phrowzen> useruser, hmm, i hate to bring up the comparison, but firefox never 'stuttered' like that under windows, do you believe it could possibly be a configuration problem? or just a limitation on the linux port?
[03:29] <phrowzen> FliesLikeABrick, thats ok, thanks for the ideas though :)
[03:29] <useruser> phrowzen: the linux version of firefox runs slower than the windows version
[03:29] <phrowzen> useruser, ahh ok.
[03:29] <FliesLikeABrick> phrowzen  download firefox <IP_ADDRESS> from the mozilla site, it runs much better than the version in apt
[03:30] <phrowzen> great i will try that, thanks again
[03:30] <Lil-Abner> OK, jason, ty. I've downloaded several items, but can't get them to install. I don't know what to use.
[03:30] <_jason> Lil-Abner: downloaded what?
[03:31] <dmb> hey
[03:31] <dmb> any of you know any zip repair program for linux?
[03:31] <neurosis_> hrm, i have another router here, im going to try that one and see what happens
[03:31] <Lil-Abner> Jason, I've downloaded the newest version for Thunderbird and Firefox, but they don't install.
[03:31] <greg> Partitioning: primary vs. logical.  Which parts should be "merely" logical?
[03:32] <FliesLikeABrick> greg  if you don't plan on having more than 4 partitions on a drive, you can use primary for everything
[03:32] <_jason> ubotu: tell Lil-Abner about firefox1.5
[03:32] <htrp> ok, let's say i have bunch .docs in a dir right, how do you delete all of them by filtering the file extenstion .doc ?
[03:32] <htrp> rm -rf *.doc ?
[03:32] <FliesLikeABrick> htrp  just do rm *.doc
[03:32] <_jason> Lil-Abner: follow the guide in your private message from ubotu to get firefox 1.5.  I don't know about the latest thunderbird
[03:32] <FliesLikeABrick> you don't need the -rf
[03:33] <htrp> ic
[03:33] <greg> k thanks
[03:33] <Lil-Abner> ok, thanks jason
[03:33] <boo> hey, i am proud of myself, i just got X working again :>  but i need to fix some trivial stuff, like getting my mouse (mx518) sensitivity to be lower on startup, and to have my keyboard buttons working, and my network working, would anyone be able to help with one of these things?

[03:55] <FliesLikeABrick> thechitowncubs almost every ftp server does that by default
[03:55] <Grark> boo, any other suggestions?
[03:55] <FliesLikeABrick> thechitowncubs apt-get install vsftpd then nano /etc/vsftpd.conf to change the configuration to your taste.  done.

[04:03] <sebix> can we consider rewriting /etc/hosts at wake up from suspend2disk as a bug ?
[04:03] <neurosis_> FliesLikeABrick: this is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to run a bot in passive mode?
[04:03] <FliesLikeABrick> k thechitowncubs  kill those processes and then start vsftpd again
[04:03] <FliesLikeABrick> i'm sorry neurosis_ but I don't know much about bots

[04:04] <neurosis_> i'll do some reading
[04:04] <FliesLikeABrick> yes thechitowncubs  if there is no more vsftpd running
[04:04] <NickGarvey> !bootscreen
[04:04] <ubotu> I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, NickGarvey

[04:04] <Joetheodd> I'm so scared to restart my box right now.
[04:04] <boo> is there a how-to to install wine?
[04:05] <Joetheodd> I just dist-upgraded
[04:05] <neurosis_> is there a way to get command line ftp to run in passive mode?
[04:05] <Joetheodd> !tell boo about wine
[04:05] <FliesLikeABrick> !tell boo about wine
[04:05] <neurosis_> can you tell me about wine too
[04:05] <neurosis_> thats my next project

[04:05] <FliesLikeABrick> !tell neurosis_ about wine
[04:05] <neurosis_> thanks
[04:05] <thechitowncubs> FliesLikeABrick, nothing... meh
[04:05] <boo> "deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt binary/"  deb is not a command
[04:06] <FliesLikeABrick> neurosis_ if you want information like that, you can send ubotu a PM and have him tell you about things by telling him to tell you ;)
[04:06] <FliesLikeABrick> boo you add that line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:06] <neurosis_> thanks
[04:06] <FliesLikeABrick> boo it is not a command
[04:06] <neurosis_> files: is there a way to ftp passive using command line ftp?
[04:07] <FliesLikeABrick> yes neurosis_.  once you're in ftp, just type "passive" to toggle passive mode
[04:07] <neurosis_> thanks
[04:07] <neurosis_> your finger must get tired
[04:07] <neurosis_> i'll bet you type 1000 words a minute
[04:07] <neurosis_> haha
[04:07] <FliesLikeABrick> 107
[04:07] <boo> Ok, i did that....now what?
[04:07] <neurosis_> your answering like 5 peoples questions at once
[04:07] <FliesLikeABrick> boo now apt-get update and apt-get install wine
[04:08] <boo> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[04:08] <FliesLikeABrick> you must use sudpo
[04:08] <boo> on apt-get update
[04:08] <FliesLikeABrick> sudo
[04:08] <boo> i need to do sudo
[04:08] <boo> yeah
[04:08] <FliesLikeABrick> you needed to do sudo to add that line to /etc/apt/sources.list too
[04:08] <FliesLikeABrick> make sure that line is in there
[04:08] <juztin> what command would i use to mount hdb as /storage/ ?
[04:08] <FliesLikeABrick> juztin mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb /storage
[04:08] <thechitowncubs> FliesLikeABrick, my login isn't even accepted, my password either
[04:09] <FliesLikeABrick> but 1) that is for ext3 filesystem, 2) that assumes you're mounting hdb not hdb1
[04:09] <hayden> when i try to burn a program it says it completes successfully, but no data is written onto the disc, any ideas?
[04:09] <FliesLikeABrick> thechitowncubs I'm not sure what to say, you either didn't entirely restart vsftpd or you messed something up in the configuration
[04:09] <FliesLikeABrick> hayden make sure the program is actually writing, not "testing"
[04:09] <hayden> FliesLikeABrick, its not
[04:09] <boo> K, downloading now. How do i find out the free space I have on my linux partition..or any that matter, basically, whats the equivilant of "My computer"
[04:10] <FliesLikeABrick> df -h boo
[04:10] <juztin> FliesLikeABrick, it says mount point /storage does not exist
[04:10] <FliesLikeABrick> juztin  you need to make the directory /storage first
[04:10] <squallbsr> how can i fix the /var/lib/dpkg/available file - it seems to be corrupt
[04:11] <juztin> FliesLikeABrick, it says /dev/hdb already mounted or /storage busy
[04:11] <FliesLikeABrick> ok juztin  then they're probably right ;)
[04:11] <juztin> FliesLikeABrick, but hdb isn't listed when i type mount
[04:11] <FliesLikeABrick> are you using /storage for antyhing?  did you cd /storage after making /storage?
[04:11] <FliesLikeABrick> squallbsr  http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fdpkg%2Favailable+corrupt&btnG=Search see if any of those help
