[12:01] <RASMAN> ailean, I use Evolution.  It has a bunch of plugins to do hula and stuff
[12:01] <bimberi> jerp: that's what i call it when it crashes (too often)
[12:01] <agent> bemixto: there has to be... your settings (that say your menu should be empty) are set somewhere ;)
[12:01] <jerp> :)
[12:01] <ailean> RASMAN, doesn't that force you to set up email too?
[12:01] <roxlu_> hi all
[12:01] <bimberi> :)
[12:01] <roxlu_> can someone maybe help me a bit with configuring my router for openvpn ?
[12:01] <agent> bemixto: check /usr/share/applications/ and see if there are a lot of *.desktop files... if so, that means that your system has the desktop files needed to prefill your menu
[12:02] <agent> indref: i think i found what you need
[12:02] <indref> agent, Sweetness.
[12:03] <kikokos> hello again maybe now sb help me
[12:03] <alberto_> hi
[12:03] <dcordes> how can i find out what my own ip is?
[12:03] <bemixto> agent: yes, there are lots
[12:03] <agent> indref: first you should note that you are using microsoft ebooks, not normal ebook fomat... this is why its so hard to find an answer to your question (1. no linux user would want to use ms format and 2. microsoft is not nice and is not willing to make it easy for linux)
[12:03] <dcordes> ..inside a local area network
[12:03] <kikokos> after ls -l /dev | grep [sh] d[abcd]
[12:03] <indref> agent, Damn.
[12:03] <RASMAN> ailean, nope but if you don't want to use the email functions, you can always try to install sunbird from the website.
[12:03] <bemixto> agent: that's the point i do not understand
[12:03] <alberto_> where can I set default gnome music player?
[12:03] <indref> agent, Nothing I could do about it though. Go on.
[12:04] <bemixto> agent: it's there. but i still can't make them appear
[12:04] <agent> indref: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7975 is the article...
[12:04] <ailean> RASMAN, okay, thanks
[12:04] <kikokos>  after ls -l /dev | grep [sh] d[abcd]  i can see only : invalid options
[12:04] <RASMAN> ailean, Evolution is not very stable when I use it.  It has a lot of functionality but the exchange connector is always crapping out.
[12:04] <bimberi> dcordes: ifconfig
[12:04] <ailean> RASMAN, i found that before too
[12:04] <agent> bemixto: sorry, im helping someone else (plug trying to solve my own problem) so im not really able to help you further
[12:04] <indref> agent, Ok, is everything i need in the article?
[12:05] <nuts> howd I upgrade to latest nvidia beta drivers?
[12:05] <agent> indref: dont know... have not finished reading it yet
[12:05] <alberto_> where can I set default gnome music player?
[12:05] <bruenig> alberto_, right click on the filetype you want to change the default music player for, and then change the open with
[12:05] <agent> indref: there is a section on microsoft reader
[12:05] <bemixto> agent: ok, but thanks anyway
[12:05] <dope12345> i can't get ndiswrapper to install :(
[12:05] <bruenig> alberto_, doing so will change the application for all files like that
[12:05] <alberto_> bruenig: I want it for gnome keybindint manager
[12:05] <highneko> alberto_: /usr/share/applications/
[12:06] <indref> agent, Hmm, I'm looking.  But where is it.
[12:06] <alberto_> I have an irda remote control and I want to configure it for launching banshee instead of default, rhtyhmbox
[12:06] <dope12345> i think it's something with the headers
[12:06] <agent> indref: looking....
[12:06] <epimer> hi guys
[12:07] <dope12345> can anyone help with linking these headers
[12:07] <epimer> what's that simpleprogram that gives you a dialog box for changing your splash screen?
[12:07] <bruenig> alberto_, there is one way to change it for sure but I don't know if it is the way that you are "supposed" to do it, you can just symlink the rhythmbox to banshee, so anytime the system tries to open rhythmbox it opens banshee instead
[12:07] <nothlit> Is there any reason why any additional X servers always skip vt8?
[12:07] <alberto_> bruenig: Thats very ugly
[12:08] <dcordes> bimberi: thx
[12:08] <bruenig> alberto_, ok, well just a thought
[12:08] <dope12345> how do i link headers
[12:08] <alberto_> thanks any way
[12:08] <dope12345> i get errors when i try to make the ndiswrapper
[12:08] <kikokos> I use live cd verion on another comp, but I dont remember IP and Gateway mask etc, where ubuntu save thic?
[12:08] <bruenig> alberto_, you could use xbindkeys to make another keybind specifically for banshee instead of trying to use the default media player one gnome gives you
[12:08] <kikokos> live it`s run but on the HDD with completed ubuntu
[12:08] <bruenig> !info xbindkeys

[12:23] <Zaehlas> Hello, I could use some help troubleshooting postfix.  I've set up a mail server with multiple domains, and virtual users, using the setup help located at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixVirtualMailBoxClamSmtpHowto.  After checking all the settings, configuration files, and even using WireShark to scan the traffic coming in, email will come in, but it is not being sent to the appropriate directory.  It's being "swallowed" by post
[12:24] <bum> type them with "./" at the beginning
[12:24] <zambonie> dcordes: not familiar with the samba method, but in windows you could do it with the "net use" command.
[12:24] <Zaehlas> Is there any way to see a diagnostic of what postfix is doing to recieved mail through SMTP?
[12:24] <_goofy_>  does anyone know of a program to test the stability of a cpu within the ubuntu gui
[12:24] <astronouth7303> how do I get my window decorations back?
[12:24] <indref> agent, What directory should I be in.
[12:24] <agent> indref: where did you extract that file to?
[12:24] <agent> indref: the directory where you extracted those files
[12:24] <dcordes> zambonie: well i want to connect from my ubuntu to the windows box. not the other way around.
[12:24] <indref> agent, Dumped it to the desktop.
[12:25] <dcomsa> dcordes: share the files normally on the windows machine
[12:25] <dcomsa> dcordes: and then go to Places -> Network Servers
[12:26] <bLaZeD> dcomsa, use dameware or somting
[12:26] <agent> indref: when you are in the folder where you extracted the files, can you  right-click-> open in terminal?
[12:26] <alyssa> anybody know why options in adept install would be grayed out.  For example I can't install firefox

[12:26] <indref> agent, There were a rather large amount of warnings :/
[12:26] <bLaZeD> dcomsa, nm...
[12:26] <dcordes> dcomsa: i forgot the screensaver password of my windows box so i can't share. otherwise i wouldn't ask :-)
[12:26] <indref> agent, I'm doing the other one now.
[12:26] <agent> indref: but were there any errors? warnings are usually ok
[12:26] <agent> indref: great!
[12:27] <azcazandco> man this is doing ym head in, have tried dapper 64bit, 32 bit and also edgy 32bit and get the same freezes shortly after logging in
[12:27] <dcomsa> dcordes: read something like: "How to hack my windows machine" :)
[12:27] <Infamous_Flame> anyone? lol
[12:27] <bunnythebunny> Zaehlas, post it in the forum.
[12:27] <zambonie> dcordes: it may work similar to the following:  smbmount //User:password@workgroupordomain/windowsbox/c /mnt/wherever
[12:27] <bunnythebunny> :)
[12:27] <indref> agent, The second one seemed wrong.
[12:27] <gouchi> froggontherocks : less /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz and check options to add for hda intel to /etc/modprobe/sound
[12:27] <Phuzion> Does WINE come with Ubuntu?
[12:27] <indref> agent, The readme said to go to a dir that wasn't there.
[12:28] <Zaehlas> dcordes: I used to have an old linux floppy that you could boot from to force windows password changes.   If you aren't hacking someone elses system, it should be available on the net.  I just don't remember how to find it, sorry.

[12:31] <agent> indref: yes, i got that error too.. trying to find a proper deb package already made for you
[12:31] <Madhouze> can anybody please help - every time i try to run any type of program/game full screen my xserver crashes- i only get a black screen and my monitor goes off. i can still change to other VTs but cant do a thing on VT7.... HELP!!!???
[12:31] <dcomsa> fzito: be a little more specific
[12:31] <bum> did you try sudo aptitude install network-manager?
[12:32] <indref> agent, Is it always like this.
[12:32] <agent> indref: http://ace-host.stuart.id.au/russell/files/debian/sarge/clit/
[12:32] <fzito> I installed the package via commend prompt and the run command for the applet doesn't work
[12:32] <fzito> it does not initiate the applet
[12:32] <Jack_Sparrow> dcordes: use the shields up scanner at grc.com
[12:32] <bunnythebunny> Madhouze, could it be related to your graphic drivers? I don't know im a uber newb myself.
[12:32] <bum> fzito are you using gnome?
[12:32] <indref> agent, Ok, I see a handful of files..
[12:33] <agent> indref: no... you see, this program has legal troubles.... what you are trying to do is not very legal in some countries because microsoft wants it that way.... thats the problem with using locked file formats like microsfots
[12:33] <Madhouze> i have the NVidia drivers installed.
[12:33] <fzito> not sure  how can I tell - pardon the ignorance I just switched from ms xp
[12:33] <agent> indref: clit_1.8-1_i386.deb  <-- thats the one you want
[12:33] <dcomsa> Madhouze: maybe you monitor doesn't support the refresh rate
[12:33] <indref> agent, Legality is an opinion. My opinion differs than most.
[12:33] <Phuzion> if I download the EDGY CD, can I just run all the apt-get from the CD as a repository to upgrade from dapper?
[12:33] <bimberi> fzito: it will have "About Gnome" in the System menu

[12:34] <bunnythebunny> Madhouze, What was the last thing you did before those issues started ocurring?
[12:34] <indref> agent, I see the problem.
[12:34] <bum> try using synaptic to get it and look at the recommended files
[12:34] <agent> indref: what are you running?
[12:34] <Madhouze> dcomsa,  i dont think its that - becuz i can sometimes see the cursor blinking in the top left corner of the screen before it goes blank... and i think that sometimes i can here the ubuntu drums....
[12:34] <Madhouze> bunnythebunny, i wish i knew.
[12:34] <indref> agent, What I don't see why nothing outside this offical group works.
[12:34] <fzito> gnome is loaded
[12:35] <indref> agent, The i689 or something.
[12:35] <agent> indref: thats the same thing
[12:35] <Fred_Sambo> windows runs better on my virtual machine on ubuntu than it ran on the machine itself
[12:35] <indref> agent, If its the same thing, then why are they called different.
[12:35] <agent> indref: unless you are on a mac (ppc) or on 64bit amd than use i386
[12:35] <dcomsa> Madhouze: :)) the thing about hearing the drums is funny :)
[12:35] <Madhouze> oh and it happens both on my gnome and my KDE
[12:36] <Madhouze> dcomsa, i was amused the first time. since then i have been very frustrated
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Guys, hate to admit this, but I have wallowed in XP for the last couple months and now want to get Dapper working. Specifically how do I determine what I still need to get DVD's to play?
[12:36] <agent> indref: ok... to be more exact, they are not the same thing... but 386 is compatible with anything above it like 686, but not the other way around.... makes sense?

[12:38] <CaptainMorgan> should I upgrade to Edgy? last month when I was here, all I witnessed was vast amounts of problems and that maybe it was rushed.... since Dapper is the LTS, should I stick with it?

[12:41] <indref> agent, Ok..
[12:41] <Madhouze> any idea how i can restart a crashed xserver from a different VT?
[12:41] <agent> indref: install libtommath_0.37-1_i386.deb first, then clit_1.8-1_i386.deb

[12:41] <bum> what happens when you try to run nm-applet?
[12:41] <Madhouze> any idea how i can restart a crashed xserver from a different VT?
[12:42] <Factory> Hey, could someone point me in the direction of a disk format/partitioning step-by-step? I'm pretty new to this
[12:42] <bum> the command "startx" will work as long as your old x server isn't running, if it is you have to kill the process
[12:42] <dcomsa> Madhouze: sudo reboot?
[12:42] <agent> indref: just so you know, the people behind debian (ubuntu uses mostly debian packages/programs) already know about this and they did not include it because of legal issues (i just read about it)
[12:42] <fzito> I get this fzito@fzito-laptop:~$ nm: 'applet': No such file
[12:42] <jerp> a crashed xserver???  ctrl+alt+backspace reboots the xserver
[12:42] <Juanchito2006> Hello? Nobody cares?
[12:42] <Madhouze> dcomsa,  that reboots the computer, im just looking to try and restart my xsrerver... ctrl-alt-bkspc does not work
[12:42] <Max_-> bruenig, thanks a lot, I'll try this!
[12:42] <indref> agent, Well, that's one thing.
[12:42] <agent> indref: ?
[12:43] <bum> the command should be nm-applet
[12:43] <Juanchito2006> Where's the sheep when needed?
[12:43] <indref> agent, There are plenty of completely illegal programs around. Usually you just run them :\
[12:43] <Madhouze> jerp, actually ctrl-alt-bkspc isnt working on my computer- no clue why
[12:43] <bum> type "which nm-applet" to find it's location
[12:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Juanchito2006: Try a little patience
[12:43] <bum> mine is in /usr/bin/nm-applet
[12:43] <CaptainMorgan> how do I run simply a regular update - no 'upgrade'
[12:43] <bum> try typing the full path "/usr/bin/nm-applet
[12:43] <Juanchito2006> agent and indref get a room
[12:44] <indref> Juanchito2006, Not in the mood, darl.
[12:44] <bum> for regular update "sudo aptitude update"
[12:44] <ToHellWithGA> any Atlanta users here?
[12:44] <Juanchito2006> Virtually, i mean.
[12:44] <Legion> Is there any difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu other than the visual stufF?

[12:44] <jerp> Im in Atl
[12:44] <indref> agent, Well, the first one just finished.
[12:45] <Juanchito2006> You both are only talking each other
[12:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Juanchito2006: Can you bring up either OS on your dual boot?
[12:45] <mindtrick^> Legion, go read what's KDE and what's Gnome you'd see the difference, afaik

[12:46] <Juanchito2006> I had to repair the MBR in order to boot windows, but it doesn't detect xubuntu
[12:46] <indref> agent, Second one done.
[12:46] <JoshJ> bhudda: rm
[12:46] <agent> indref: ok
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Juanchito2006: Once you repair the mbr with fdisk you dont have grub..
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub

[12:47] <bhudda> JoshJ: tried it, gave me "Cannot remove directory 'name': Is a directory
[12:47] <bum> to remove directories you can use the "rmdir" command or it is has files in it that you also don't want "rm -r directoryname" will work
[12:47] <indref> agent, ...
[12:47] <JoshJ> do rm -r dir
[12:47] <Frogg> anybody know how to get my built in HDA Intel Mic to work under skype?
[12:47] <bhudda> burn: Thanks
[12:47] <JoshJ> be careful with this as screwing that up (say with rm -r * or rm -r /) can really screw up your system
[12:47] <agent> indref: its a command line program... type man clit
[12:48] <agent> indref: that will give you the manual
[12:48] <bum> double check that the mic volume isn't down ...
[12:48] <indref> agent, Okie doke.
[12:48] <Frogg> i've done that it's all the way up
[12:48] <fzito> I went to the directory and I received no such file
[12:48] <agent> indref: i dont know how to use it since i never used it nor do i have it.... my guess is this is how you use it: clit <your clit file>
[12:48] <bum> sometimes what ubuntu says is the mic isn't really the one your using...try turning all the volumes up
[12:48] <JoshJ> there's a clit command in linux?
[12:48] <JoshJ> any relation to fsck?
[12:48] <Frogg> Done that
[12:48] <Frogg> everything is up
[12:49] <agent> indref: i think by default clit just converts the lit file to an open ebook that you can use anywhere
[12:49] <Frogg> What i would really like to get working is my Linksys CIT200 but i understand that can't happen even though it sees that too
[12:49] <indref> agent, Let's hope so, I'm giving it a go..
[12:49] <agent> JoshJ: clit = covertlit = converts crap microsoft drm ebook .lit files :D
[12:49] <JoshJ> nice!
[12:51] <bum> did you read the documentation for the linksys cit200?
[12:51] <Frogg> There wasn't any mention on using it under linksys
[12:51] <martyyyr> you guys wanna hear something stupid?
[12:51] <Frogg> windows i mean
[12:51] <Juanchito2006> Sorry but this info you gave me is not clear, I'm a newb
[12:51] <CaptainMorgan> where is the mouse option of single clicking instead of the default double clicking?
[12:51] <IRCd> DCC SEND "ubuntulinux" 0 0 0
[12:51] <indref> agent, How do you open a terminal in a folder.
[12:51] <Frogg> or linux lol
[12:51] <bruenig> does anyone else occasionally have pdfs pop up out of nowhere in firefox for some site that you never visited or certainly haven
[12:52] <CaptainMorgan> in pref's, I don't see any folder options or anything within mouse
[12:52] <bruenig> 't clicked a pdf link for

[12:52] <martyyyr> ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so  -> firefox thinks it is flash player 7,   but if I RENAME that file, firefox thinks it is flash player 9 .... is that weird, or is that just me?
[12:52] <Fred_Sambo> does anyone play emacs tetris?
[12:52] <JoshJ> ...emacs tetris?
[12:52] <agent> indref: the easiest way is to open a folder and right click -> open in terminal :D
[12:52] <Jack_Sparrow> bum: gxine will play dvd'd but not totem?  any suggestions?
[12:52] <bum> I see Linksys's official position is that it doesn't work w/linux since there are no drivers
[12:52] <JoshJ> lol, emacs has everything -_-
[12:52] <agent> indref: pretty easy, eh?
[12:52] <Fred_Sambo> yes, tetris in emacs
[12:53] <bum> personally I would just not use totem...
[12:53] <Jack_Sparrow> cute
[12:53] <bum> I tend towards vlc or mplayer
[12:53] <JoshJ> Xine here :)
[12:53] <indref> agent, That option is not in the right-click menu.
[12:53] <agent> indref: just dont right-click on a file
[12:53] <JoshJ> i think you need a package to do that
[12:53] <Jack_Sparrow> not a biggie...
[12:53] <Legion> as far as I can tell, deciding between Gnome and KDE is like arguing about what color a car should have
[12:53] <agent> indref: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[12:53] <Fred_Sambo> tetris in emacs cheats
[12:53] <bum> for totem get all the gstreamer plugins
[12:53] <JoshJ> Legion: lol
[12:53] <JoshJ> there's other differences
[12:53] <Fred_Sambo> where should i file the bug report?
[12:53] <indref> agent, Dapper.
[12:54] <bum> I've had dvd's working in totem before
[12:54] <Frogg> right would jsut be nice for it to work that's all
[12:54] <agent> indref: aha! sorry, i didnt know that... dapper does not have that installed by default
[12:54] <Frogg> at least my built in mic
[12:54] <Jack_Sparrow> it says missing a plugun..
[12:54] <agent> indref: type this in terminal: sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal
[12:54] <indref> agent, When is Edgy released.
[12:54] <JoshJ> last month
[12:54] <Juanchito2006> I has been already released
[12:54] <agent> indref: you missed it by a few weeks :D

[12:54] <JoshJ> oct 29 to be exact
[12:54] <agent> indref: sorry, its not indref
[12:54] <Jack_Sparrow> must not be libdvd or win32code
[12:54] <indref> agent, Oh. Why didn't it come up on the updater.
[12:55] <agent> indref: sorry, its not gnome-terminal
[12:55] <bum> "nm-applet" gotta have the dash

[12:55] <indref> fsck, why do you people make all of this so hard.
[12:55] <JoshJ> better!
[12:55] <Juanchito2006> I've heard that is a bit tricky to upgrade from Dapper to Edgy
[12:56] <indref> Then I ain't doing it.
[12:56] <bhudda> brb
[12:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Im quite happy with my Dapper install
[12:56] <agent> indref: install package nautilus-open-terminal or type this in any terminal: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
[12:56] <CaptainMorgan> Im using Gnome within Kubuntu... I can't locate an option to enable single point to click rather than the default double click. I can't find folder options either.... any ideas?
[12:56] <agent> indref: that will allow you to right-click anywhere and open the terminal in that folder
[12:56] <indref> I think I'll live.
[12:56] <indref> I think I've dealt with the pleasures of installation enough today.
[12:56] <bum> There is no need to upgrade unless you really need a feature that your version doesn't have
[12:57] <agent> Juanchito2006: i upgraded from hoary->breezy->dapper->edgy... my last fresh install was hoary!
[12:57] <kebertxela> Ok .. I tried to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.18 from 2.6.17-10. I did the compile your own kernel, after I did all the steps now my X server refuses to start. I have an Nvidia Geforce FX5700LE. Now when I go back into my old kernel my X server won't start. Any suggestions?
[12:57] <JoshJ> what's up with all the kickbans? o_O

[12:58] <globe> what program might I use to burn an ISO ?
[12:58] <indref> agent, This is me in a good mood..

[12:58] <JoshJ> globe: gnomebaker perhaps?
[12:58] <kebertxela> globe: gnomebaker

[12:58] <zambonie> is there a migration assistant application that will take users accounts, configs, data, settings, and apps and help move them to a new box?
[12:59] <chivosolar> ah so Ive got this HP laserjet 3280 plugged into the lan switch via ethernet. How do I get that setup on my ubuntu here to print direct to that network printer?
[12:59] <agent> globe: if you are using ubuntu, right click on iso -> write to disk :D

[12:59] <fzito> do I need to run with this syntax? nm-applet &

[12:59] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:59] <Juanchito2006> Oops, it's seems I'm in the wrong room
[12:59] <indref> agent, Seems as though, somehow, that worked.

[01:00] <agent> indref: quck google searching
[01:00] <chivosolar> if it matters any it is an HP 3390
[01:00] <indref> agent, Google hates me when I search for anything like this.
[01:00] <agent> indref: notice that i never even heard of lit files until today and i never used that program or ever heard of it existing :)
[01:00] <Factory> still no luck with my potential storage device
[01:01] <indref> agent, Obviously you know what keywords to use.
[01:01] <chivosolar> any pointers on setting up a network printer would be really appreciated
[01:01] <indref> agent, I hope to get half as good at knowing what to look for,
[01:01] <chivosolar> the ubuntu.org docs describe for only direct connected printers
[01:01] <bum> chivosolar what system are you running?
[01:01] <agent> indref: i started with www.google.com/linux <-- google has a linux only google :D typed in "lit ebook" and off i went

[01:02] <chivosolar> ubuntu 6.10
[01:02] <indref> agent, Woah.
[01:02] <agent> indref: :)
[01:02] <indref> agent, See, this is just what I mean. How does one know this stuff?
[01:03] <agent> indref: well, im not sure what linux distribution google uses for its servers (probably not ubuntu), but the employees are on ubuntu (not windows!)
[01:03] <agent> indref: this is listed on google.com lol
[01:03] <indref> agent, Where.
[01:04] <agent> indref: www.google.com -> "more"
[01:04] <agent> indref: then "even more" (they changed that)
[01:04] <indref> Damn that more button..
[01:04] <dope12345> is there a way to manually install the build essentials stuff
[01:04] <fzito> please don't forget about me

[01:04] <agent> indref: hahah.... "Specialized Searches" - it even has the linux logo!
[01:05] <dope12345> is there a way to manually install the build essentials stuff
[01:05] <Factory> how do I format my spare 120gb drive to act as a storage device for mp3s and such? I assume it has to be as an ext3 system...

[01:06] <indref> agent, Anyway, I have books to read, obviously.
[01:06] <hou5ton> It has a place to plug in the phone line, so I guess there is actually a modem in there??
[01:06] <indref> agent, Many thanks.

[01:11] <highneko> Suavsilk: #mplayer
[01:11] <highneko> Suavsilk: What's the problem?
[01:12] <dope12345> :|
[01:12] <fzito> This what I get when I run nm-applet &, does this mean it should be running?fzito@fzito-laptop:~$ nm-applet &

[01:12] <dope12345> maybe this is an advanced topic?
[01:12] <BrightEyes`> how can i install Grub 2.0 to ubuntu 6.10?
[01:12] <dope12345> where do i get advanced help
[01:12] <hou5ton> I really need to get this modem working on this laptop ... need it at the hospital and only have dialup there ....  I have done "sudo pppconfig" but it can't find the modem on any COM ???
[01:13] <highneko> BrightEyes`: Why would you want to?
[01:13] <Fred_Sambo> dope12345: advance help with what?
[01:13] <bum> AGENT: http://www.wifi.com.ar/english/cdrouter.html for linux boot w/ssh
[01:13] <BrightEyes`> highneko: because grub 1.5 its too ugly
[01:13] <bruenig> !info grub2

[01:13] <Ricardo_Colombia> Can somebody tell me where is gPhoto?
[01:13] <agent> dope12345: its not really that advanced, its just that you are using hardware that does not like to play nice with ubuntu and my guess would be there are not very many people in this channel that use your particular hardware... forums may be better for such questions
[01:14] <agent> bum: great! im trying to install without monitor, keyboard or mouse! ;)
[01:14] <Suavsilk> highneko, i cant play AVI files
[01:14] <highneko> BrightEyes`: If you're looking for the graphical thing like suse has, I think there's a different package.
[01:14] <Ricardo_Colombia> Can somebody tell me where is gPhoto?
[01:15] <bruenig> Ricardo_Colombia, you may have to install gphoto

[01:15] <Ricardo_Colombia> bruenig I have downloaded it
[01:16] <Ricardo_Colombia> but I don't know where is it in the menu???
[01:16] <highneko> Suavsilk: That's a common problem. wget http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20061022.tar.bz2 then extract them to the folder /usr/lib/win32
[01:16] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: I can't help you with the immediate problem, but from hosptal experience, most of them these days have available internet access.....
[01:16] <bum> it works for me in xubuntu you'll see network icons
[01:16] <BrightEyes`> highneko: anyone who nows?
[01:16] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   not this one
[01:16] <hou5ton> I wish
[01:16] <bruenig> Ricardo_Colombia, it is command line, not graphical
[01:16] <Spee_Der> Sorry to 'ear that.....
[01:16] <Spee_Der> Good luck also.
[01:16] <highneko> BrightEyes`: You want the graphical thing like suse I mentioned?
[01:16] <pxlmdk> hi, i just got a fancy new logitech mouse, about half the buttons seem to work, is there something special i should do to install drivers or something or is it simply not fully compatible?
[01:17] <Ricardo_Colombia> Can you recommend me a graphic software for cameras?
[01:17] <hou5ton> If there is a place to plug in the phone line on this laptop, and I see the connections in there, does that mean there is surely a modem in there?
[01:17] <pxlmdk> yes houston it does mean that.
[01:17] <bum> its a photo manager
[01:17] <BrightEyes`> highneko:  yes!
[01:17] <JuJuBee> Can I view the active display on a windows computer from ubuntu?
[01:17] <ivx> hey what is the command to view what processors you have?
[01:17] <hou5ton> pxlmdk:   thanks .... well .... sudo pppconfig isn't finding it
[01:17] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: What is your OS please ?

[01:20] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   it says command not found
[01:20] <dope12345> how do i get packages installed if i can't use apt-get?
[01:21] <JuJuBee> CharlieSu : Thanks.
[01:21] <JoshJ> i think you could download and burn to a CD and use the CD as a repo
[01:21] <JoshJ> dunno how though
[01:21] <JoshJ> sorry :(
[01:21] <JoshJ> never had to do that
[01:21] <ivx> dope12345 why can't you use that
[01:21] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: In terminal window 'sudo apt-get install hwinfo'
[01:21] <dope12345> cause my wireless doesn't work
[01:21] <chivosolar> bum, hey there, my daughter dragged me away and your input scrolled up past the screen
[01:21] <JoshJ> dope12345 's on windows atm
[01:21] <dope12345> i can d/l stuff on windows and access it in linux but the wireless doesn't work in linux at the moment.
[01:21] <dope12345> i'm trying to fix that
[01:21] <JoshJ> heh
[01:21] <JoshJ> the classic catch-22
[01:21] <ivx> dope12345 well then the package manager prolly won't work either
[01:22] <JoshJ> ...dpkg would work without a net connection
[01:22] <JoshJ> dope12345: what wireless card is it? broadcom?
[01:22] <chivosolar> bum, is there a page info link to review the network printer setup?
[01:22] <markus> I'm setting up ubuntu on a different comp right now and was wondering how I should layout my partition. I have a 160GB drive that will need FAT32 space to share with windows, which is on a separate drive (music, pictures, etc for the FAT32), 1GB RAM, and the system will have four users
[01:22] <dope12345> yea broadcom
[01:22] <JoshJ> yeah figured :(
[01:22] <dope12345> i just wanna install ndiswrapper
[01:22] <dope12345> i should use dpkg?
[01:22] <ivx> dope12345 what card do you have 4318?
[01:22] <JoshJ> well, you have to GET the ndiswrapper file
[01:22] <JoshJ> hrm
[01:22] <highneko> Suavsilk: No, the full path is /usr/lib/win32
[01:22] <dredhammer> hi can someone tell me how to install stuff in Wine?
[01:23] <JoshJ> dredhammer : load up a console and do "wine filename.exe" where filename.exe is the installer file
[01:23] <dope12345> i have the ndiswrapper.tar.gz file
[01:23] <highneko> Suavsilk: sudo mkdir /usr/lib/win32; sudo mv essential-20061022/* /usr/lib/win32
[01:23] <JoshJ> (get in the right folder etc first)
[01:23] <Suavsilk> highneko ok, how can i extract what i downloaded?
[01:23] <Suavsilk> highneko ok will do
[01:23] <dredhammer> so it can't run from the cd drive then?
[01:23] <JoshJ> you can
[01:23] <JoshJ> just cd to /dev/cdrom0 or whatever
[01:24] <JoshJ> dunno where your cd is  set up
[01:24] <docko> hello, where can i change the message that appears after telneting to ssh port? (SSH-X.X-OpenSSH_X.X Debian-XubuntuX.X)
[01:24] <JoshJ> dope12345: my suggestion is to get a cheap ethernet cable and get it working like that
[01:24] <JoshJ> hopefully someone else can help you without you having to resort to that :(
[01:24] <Suavsilk> highneko "mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/win32': File exists

I don't know the sizes I need of partitions such as /,/home,etc.
[01:25] <highneko> Suavsilk: Ok, that's good that it exists. You gotta move the extracted files to the folder /usr/lib/win32. I do'nt know the command to extract files, I usually use my file browser for that.
[01:26] <bum> chivosolar, did you get my messages?
[01:26] <Suavsilk> highneko kk ill give it a go
[01:26] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   As best I can tell, I have found the listing that is probably it ... it is one of the "Network Interface"

[01:27] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   DSL
[01:27] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: Ok...  Does hwinfo show a modem also ?
[01:28] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: Assuming your cat 5 is listed as either eth0 or eth1
[01:28] <Suavsilk> highneko i go to /usr/ dir, but win32 folder doesnt exist
[01:28] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   I didn't see a listing like that ... it does show both eth0 and eth1 in "Ethernet network interface"

[01:30] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   yes ... and that's how I set up the connection ... at least as much as I could
[01:30] <chivosolar> bum i only saw the lat part of your message about puting in the ip address and then it was gone off the screen
[01:30] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   it's all done, but it doesn't find any modem on any COM
[01:30] <chivosolar> bum, i mostly had a problem trying to figure out what to put in for the [location]
[01:30] <bum> its getting hectic in here
[01:30] <Q_Continuum> Question: Package in Edgy is outdated (release of code was May'05) but listed as the "current" build for feisty - any way to manually get the package itself, and nothing else?  (Listing the files for the feisty entry finds none)
[01:31] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   I also have a PCMCIA modem card here I could put in and see if it finds that, I suppose
[01:31] <chivosolar> bum, a reference doc would be great if its out there
[01:31] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: Please try that while I look for more infos.....
[01:31] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   ok

[01:32] <Trixsey> Default charset in Ubuntu is UTF-8?
[01:32] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: If yes, what did it state ?
[01:32] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   yes ... nothing happens
[01:32] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   it doesn't state anything
[01:32] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: Mine does this -->> /usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/provider: unrecognized option '/dev/modem'
[01:33] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: So, mine is telling me I DO NOT have a modem installed.
[01:33] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: Yours should state it has on, if there is one in there that is.....
[01:34] <Max_-> how do I clear what is in the GRUB settings... cauze I tried to make it boot hd0,0 and it still try to boot hd0,1 ...  don't understand that.. any command to reset grub and start over?
[01:34] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: Let's try the pcmcia card now and see what happens with pon ?

[01:37] <FAZ> no...not good with linux yet..just converted from xp
[01:38] <dcordes> how can i compile a program when no configure file is existant?
[01:38] <eetfunk> how do i uninstall a bunch of packages and remove all the config files and so in terminal?  I'd like to reinstall them from scratch and get the default config files back
[01:38] <highneko> eetfunk: purge?

[01:40] <der0b> eetfunk: np, it won't remove local config files (those in your home dir)
[01:40] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: Can you connect a phone line for the modem card and give pon a try ?
[01:40] <mephisto> ie. synaptic won't even let me add them anymore.. check marks disappear after I close the window.
[01:41] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   already did .. and still ... nothing happens
[01:41] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: pon should help
[01:41] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   I'm looking at the settings again in the setup
[01:41] <Spee_Der> hmmm
[01:41] <Spee_Der> Ok
[01:41] <eetfunk> der0b: it will remove everything else in /etc/ though?

[01:45] <overridex> highneko: haha
[01:45] <specialbuddy> is there a way to set up fstab to automatically mount a harddrive that I plug in with usb?
[01:45] <overridex> specialbuddy: you'd have to use hotplug or something...
[01:46] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   I need to be getting to the hospital now .... thanks very much for your help ..... I'll pick it up here tomorrow
[01:46] <specialbuddy> well it automatically mounts now but it changes where it mounts to everytime
[01:46] <Spee_Der> hou5ton: Please try this and see if it helps... --->>>https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[01:46] <hou5ton> Spee_Der:   ok ... thanks
[01:46] <eetfunk> apt-get remove --purge did not remove the config files correctly, and dpkg --purge doesnt remove them either... what's the real way to do it?
[01:46] <specialbuddy> so I have to change where my music is located everytime I plug in my harddrive
[01:47] <Spee_Der> Ok good night and good luck hou5ton....
[01:47] <highneko> eetfunk: The reason I suggested purge is because I remembered reading the dpkg man page. I have never tried it. Gl
[01:47] <jd-> anybody got any suggestions to fixing that then?
[01:48] <bimberi> eetfunk: apt-get remove --purge should remove config files in /etc but not in home directories
[01:48] <eetfunk> bimberi: when im reinstalling apache, it doesnt put the default config files back in /etc
[01:49] <specialbuddy> can anyone help me with setting it up so that my usb harddrive plugs in and mounts to the same folder each time?
[01:49] <deema> how long should Kismet take to compile on a 500 mhz machine?

[01:49] <highneko> dcordes: man gcc
[01:50] <bimberi> eetfunk: hmm kk.  Might have to try removing them manually (or moving them elsewhere until you're happy to delete them permanently)
[01:50] <eetfunk> bimberi: i did, but somehow, the default files are not created when i reinstall.
[01:50] <hikenboot> hello all---I accidently deleted the task bar from my gnome install last week anyone know how to get it back?
[01:50] <highneko> eetfunk: Maybe you need to start the server before the files will appear?
[01:50] <der0b> eetfunk: if the config files were created by you (not part of the package) apt won't remove them
[01:51] <eetfunk> highneko: it wont start
[01:51] <jmichaelx> has anyone here been successful in getting embedded video (Yahoo! news clips, for example) working using FF2.0 and mplayer plugin? i have not been able to get them to work in k/ubuntu edgy, though they worked fine in dapper, with FF1.5. i also just noticed that such videos work fine in mepis 6.0 & FF2.0. if anyone has a solution, please let me know.
[01:51] <hikenboot> nope it dont start
[01:51] <hikenboot> even on boot
[01:51] <eetfunk> der0b: the files were created the first time i installed apache, not by me
[01:51] <highneko> hikenboot: Maybe if you have no more panels left, I would try executing "gnome-panel".
[01:52] <der0b> eetfunk: I would tar them up in case you need them, remove them manually and do a reinstall
[01:52] <dcordes> highneko: oh that looks very complex!
[01:53] <eetfunk> it worked now... after 10 tries :)
[01:53] <JuJuBee> Anybody able to help me with vnc?  I installed tightvnc on my windows box.  I started the server and I can ping the computer by ip.  On my ubuntu box,  when I use vncviewer and enter the ip address of the windows box, it never prompts me for a password. I just hangs there curser blinking like it is thinking
[01:53] <birdfish> If I leave some space at the end of the harddrive unpartitioned during install, how hard is it to partition later?
[01:53] <der0b> eetfunk: cool eetfunk
[01:53] <overridex> birdfish: not hard if you leave it empty like that, it's resizing that's annoying
[01:53] <deema> how long should Kismet take to compile on a 500 mhz machine?
[01:53] <hikenboot> highneko, thanks will try that
[01:54] <Trixsey> How's programming in C# in Ubuntu? :P
[01:54] <birdfish> overridex: ah, sweet =)
[01:54] <jimcooncat> JuJuBee, I'm using UltraVNC as a server on my Windows box, I like it
[01:54] <Trixsey> Is there C# compilers for Ubuntu? I can compile to exe and use WINE right
[01:54] <Trixsey> ?
[01:54] <herbert> you have to use mono
[01:54] <herbert> for coding c#
[01:55] <herbert> and the mono framework
[01:55] <JuJuBee> jimcooncat : Ok, but I dont know if the problem is with the windows box or my ubuntu box.
[01:55] <JuJuBee> I  wondered if there was a way to test the server remotely to see if it is even listening for conntections.
[01:56] <der0b> any freenx users here?  can it be used to connect to :0?
[01:56] <CharlieSu> What is a good proxy server program I can setup?
[01:57] <CaptainMorgan> wine is godsend
[01:57] <bettyboop1975> ty
[01:57] <bimberi> CharlieSu: squid
[01:57] <CharlieSu> Trixsey: terrible... Just use C
[01:57] <CharlieSu> bimberi: squid the standard?
[01:58] <Trixsey> CharlieSu: not possible.. I'm in the middle of a C# project and just went over to Ubuntu -_-
[01:58] <Trixsey> LOL :p
[01:58] <bimberi> CharlieSu: i would say so ... and it's in main
[01:58] <jimcooncat> JuJuBee, telnet windowsbox 5900
[01:58] <jk__> any one have experience with vmware ws
[01:58] <der0b> jk__: some, what's up?
[01:58] <jimcooncat> JuJuBee, you should get an RFB something
[01:59] <jk__> tnx, everytime i try to start it up, it fails with already installed but needs configuring, I reconfigure it runs fine until next time I reboot and then it fails to start and the process repeats itself over and over
[01:59] <Azathoth_> hi
[01:59] <cypher> hi
[02:00] <highneko> high
[02:00] <der0b> jk__: I think it has to do with multiple libs.. one sec..  I have a link that might help
[02:00] <jk__> tnx
[02:00] <mangojambo> hi people ... I'd tried google, forum, etc but I can found someone to help me about MULTISEAT ... I'm trying in a modest PC with 2 VGA cards (old school Trident n S3 640x480), but the X is not upping !!
[02:00] <Clin1> I need help fixing my printer... Ubuntu detacted it aand installed it but when i send aa print job it stops automaticaly
[02:00] <Clin1> the job stops
[02:02] <der0b> jk__: http://newbie.linuxworldnet.com/install-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-edgy/ at the bottom of that page, there are 2 links that should help you out.
[02:02] <der0b> I hope
[02:02] <der0b> :)
[02:02] <mangojambo> I've got this messages: usplash: Setting mode 1024x768 failed ... usplash: Using mode 800x600
[02:02] <jk__> looking thanks, its weird, it work for the longest time and then after a patch upgrade the problem started, reading...
[02:02] <der0b> jk, even though the post talks about vm server, the fix should still cover it
[02:04] <johnm1019> anyone know how to get screen gestures in edgy?
[02:04] <akk> Is there an approved way (like, through the gui rather than typing ifup) to start a network in xubuntu?
[02:05] <Pupeno> Hello.
[02:05] <jimcooncat> JuJuBee, you alive? I'd give you some help but supper's calling
[02:05] <jatt> akk: with gkrellm. What do you mean with "approved"?
[02:06] <jrib> johnm1019: I know of 'wayv' but configuration isn't that easy.  I just stick to gestures in my web browser
[02:06] <akk> jatt: I'm just trying to do things like a normal user would, instead of using a terminal to edit /etc/network/interfaces then type ifconfig and ifup and so forth.
[02:06] <akk> jatt: I'm wondering if there is a way that a normal user could use, before I go replacing /etc/network/* with my own files like I've done in the past.
[02:06] <johnm1019> jrib: ok, because in dapper they are part of the preferences menu -- i wasn't sure why that had disapeared
[02:07] <Staz> Hi I have 4 sata disks I want on JBOD, how can I go about this?
[02:07] <jrib> johnm1019: the gnome preferences menu?
[02:10] <Clin1>  I need help fixing my printer... Ubuntu detacted it aand installed it but when i send aa print job it stops automaticaly
[02:10] <jatt> akk: I had very bad experiences with gnome applets which try to configure the network. Many of those applets are unable to read existing configurations. To start a network connection from the gui, I would recommend gkrellm again. You can define start and stop commands that will be executed when the user press a button (e.g. you can define start command as pon internet-provider). To *configure* the network, the most reliable way to do it
[02:10] <jatt> is changing the configuration files themselves with an editor.
[02:10] <jatt> IMO
[02:11] <akk> jatt: Okay, thanks. The built-in network configuration worked okay but I guess I'll stick to typing ifup eth0 (which does work) to start it.
[02:13] <akk> It's funny that ubuntu is so good about most desktop things, but then configuring the network is all editing config files and typing commands.
[02:13] <wasp_ems> hello i installed xgl and berryl on my laptop but when i login xgl it goes really really slow..it is lagging very much..anyone know wht i can do?
[02:13] <Clin1> HELLO ANY ONE<<<<
[02:14] <birdfish> Okay, I'm having some trouble getting a network interface to go live
[02:14] <FAZ> Hi all - I did check the networks file and all looks well, the wireless node is there and followed the instruction at the ubuntu web site...ubuntu still does not see the wireless connection
[02:14] <birdfish> It's using the via-rhine.c driver module, however when it tries to start, I get an error -5
[02:14] <birdfish> Anyone know of a workaround for this?
[02:15] <Clin1> HELLOOOOOOO
[02:15] <variant> anyone managed to compile unionfs here?
[02:16] <variant> on ubuntu
[02:16] <mangojambo> Clin1: helloooo
[02:16] <Clin1> can you help me...........................
[02:16] <variant> Clin1: just ask
[02:17] <mangojambo> who knows about multiseat?
[02:17] <birdfish> Hm, actually, nevermind.  I thought that ubuntu 6.06 was still utilizing the 2.4 kernel.  This problem is in relation to a broken driver not interacting properly with the 2.6 kernel
[02:17] <birdfish> Time to get a new nic :/
[02:17] <birdfish> Back later =)
[02:17] <Clin1> I need help fixing my printer... Ubuntu detacted it aand installed it but when i send aa print job it stops automaticaly
[02:17] <Clin1> I need help fixing my printer... Ubuntu detacted it aand installed it but when i send aa print job it stops automaticaly
[02:18] <mangojambo> Clin1: what is your printer ? HP ? epson ? model?
[02:18] <akk> When sudo fails with "timestamp too far in the future", what file's timestamp is it looking at?
[02:18] <akk> (this is a freshly installed edgy)
[02:19] <variant> akk: it mean time drift, which is a pita
[02:19] <variant> akk: so you cant sudo?
[02:19] <Clin1> My bad its lexmark
[02:19] <akk> variant: Right. I do have other partitions on this machine, so I could reboot and touch a file if that would help.
[02:19] <variant> akk: it means that your clock is not set correctly vs your motherboard clock. use ntp to keep the clock in sync in future
[02:20] <variant> akk: yeah, problem i sthat i dont knwo what files to touch
[02:20] <variant> akk: there is a noother way to fix it..
[02:20] <Clin1> Do you know what to do
[02:20] <akk> variant: This is a brand new install. But I did have to pull the power cord twice when it hung starting X (because it enables 3d on an S3 savage card)
[02:21] <variant> akk: whats wrong withthat?
[02:21] <akk> Here's what to do with a lexmark: http://timocharis.com/doodles/lexmark/
[02:21] <akk> variant: Known bug, 3d stuff always hangs on s3 savage. It's been in the ubuntu bug system for ages, too.
[02:21] <variant> ah
[02:22] <variant> akk: sorry, i cant remember how to fix that error
[02:22] <akk> variant: Happens on quite a few other cards, too, so you have to comment out the dri line in xorg.conf
[02:22] <variant> google it
[02:23] <akk> haha, someone on the forum discussion says "I think it's a security measure"
[02:23] <Staz> Hi, how can I setup disk spanning in ubuntu? I have 4 hdds I want to merge into 1.
[02:23] <akk> I guess not being able to sudo at all makes the system pretty secure :-)

[02:26] <akk> Ah, the gui time-adjusting tool doesn't require sudo, apparently, so that's the solution.
[02:27] <jrib> Captain_ath0: somewhere in your $PATH
[02:27] <akk> Captain_ath0: Anywhere in your path (echo $PATH)

[02:28] <wasp_ems> hello any help with xgl?i installed it on my laptop but when i login it is very very laggy
[02:29] <LjL> clin1, that attitude will bring you nothing good.
[02:29] <nkassi> wasp_ems:It sounds like a graphic's driver issues
[02:29] <mangojambo> at last ... a bot give me an answer ... lol
[02:29] <wasp_ems> nkassi, do u know what i can do to find out or solve it?
[02:29] <akk> Captain_ath0: echo $PATH will give you the list of directories in your path.
[02:29] <nkassi> wasp_ems: Do you have the binary drivers installed for your type of card ?
[02:29] <wasp_ems> nkassi, not sure
[02:30] <akk> Captain_ath0: Probably none of them are in your homedir, unless you've set your path yourself to include it.
[02:30] <nkassi> wasp_ems: Maybe, what type of card do you have ATI or Nvidia ?
[02:30] <Madhouze> I have a problem: whenever i run a program/game in full screen, my xserver crashes, my monitor goes off and i hear the ubuntu drums. then i can still go to other VTs but can do nothing with VT7. i have NVidia drivers installed.
[02:30] <wasp_ems> nkassi, ati
[02:30] <wasp_ems> nkassi, 345m
[02:30] <markus> when creating partitions, does it matter what order they go in? (I will need /,/home,/data (FAT32), and /swap)
[02:30] <jrib> Captain_ath0: I suggest /usr/local/bin unless you want to create ~/bin and add it to your path
[02:30] <nkassi> wasp_ems: Ok let me pull up the instructions on the wiki
[02:30] <wasp_ems> nkassi, thanx
[02:31] <nkassi> wasp_ems: right now can you run fglxinfo and tell me if it says ati or mesa ?
[02:31] <wasp_ems> nkassi, yes np

[02:32] <nkassi> Follow those instruction and it should work. This is risky it might break you installation. Make a copy of you /etc/X11/xorg.conf first
[02:32] <Madhouze> I have a problem: whenever i run a program/game in full screen, my xserver crashes, my monitor goes off and i hear the ubuntu drums. then i can still go to other VTs but can do nothing with VT7. i have NVidia drivers installed.
[02:32] <wasp_ems> nkassi, it says command not found
[02:32] <markus> when creating partitions, does it matter what order they go in? (I will need /,/home,/data (FAT32), and /swap)
[02:33] <nkassi> wasp_ems: make a copy of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  in case you break X
[02:33] <lightcap> how do I remove libmysqlclient15off only, without apt forcing me to remove all the mysql packages? There's two client libraries installed by default for some reason
[02:33] <wasp_ems> nkassi, ok
[02:33] <MarcN> markus: not terribly.  Usually /boot and / are the first two, then swap then the rest.
[02:33] <nkassi> wasp_ems: good then you don't have the drivers. At least we know ;0)
[02:33] <wasp_ems> nkassi, lol
[02:34] <Falstius> markus: remember that fat32 only supports files up to 2 gb.  If you want to store dvd images or such, it will be a hassle.
[02:34] <dope12345> how do i install the build-essentials without the package installer thing
[02:34] <Captain_ath0> jrib: that's what i was looking for. thanks
[02:34] <flodine> help can i mount a drive in edgy
[02:34] <markus> kk, thnx
[02:34] <nkassi> dopel12345: what do you mean without synaptic ?
[02:34] <agent> whats the best way to search a network for available clients (that is, for computers that are connected)?
[02:34] <nkassi> dopel12345: Or apt ?
[02:34] <MrBunny> I installed 6.06 from the livecd, updated the 192 some odd files, restarted, and now after I put in my username and password my monitor complains "frequency out of range" as I hear the login noise. Ask for clarification if needed.
[02:34] <markus> one other question, does it matter if my partitions are logical or primary, whats the differnce
[02:35] <flodine> help i need to add a drive to ubuntu can someone help
[02:35] <dope12345> yea, can't use apt
[02:35] <dope12345> how would i install the build essentials without apt
[02:35] <nkassi> flodine: mount /dev/hda* /directory/to/mount/too
[02:35] <Falstius> dope12345: why can't you use apt?
[02:35] <nkassi> flodine: the * being the partition number
[02:35] <dope12345> cause wireless doesn't work on linux at the moment
[02:35] <bimberi> dope12345: using 'sudo dpkg -i file.deb'
[02:35] <nkassi> flodine: if you have sata it will be sda*
[02:35] <jrib> dope12345: the build-essential package is on the cd
[02:35] <MarcN> markus: you can only have 4 primary partitions (I usually use them for /boot and /) but you can have a lot of logical partitions
[02:36] <dope12345> oh it is?
[02:36] <markus> ok, thanks
[02:36] <jrib> dope12345: yeah, just add the cd-rom as a repository and you should be able to install it with apt
[02:36] <flodine> nkassi can that be done with gparted
[02:36] <dope12345> well i have the iso
[02:36] <dope12345> is there a way to mount the iso?
[02:36] <green_earz> flodine:  to find out the partions number use the command sudo fdisk -l
[02:37] <nkassi> flodine: no actually, gparted will help you create and delete partitions.
[02:37] <Falstius> dope12345: sudo mout -o loop ubuntu.iso /media/cdrom/
[02:37] <nkassi> flodine: the mount command is what you would use to mount the partition once created and formated
[02:37] <dope12345> ah nice
[02:37] <agent> mount, not mout :)
[02:37] <Falstius> (just don't try putting another cdrom in, or use a different mount directory)
[02:37] <Falstius> agent: bah :)
[02:37] <dope12345> how do i add it as a repository?
[02:37] <nkassi> flodine: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount?highlight=%28mount%29
[02:38] <nkassi> flodine: much more details there
[02:38] <Falstius> dope12345: modify /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:38] <jrib> dope12345: sudo apt-cdrom add    not sure if you'll need to specify the path explicitly now (check the man page)
[02:38] <bimberi> dope12345: Edit menu in Synaptic
[02:39] <nkassi> dopel12345: you can mount the iso using : mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mount/point
[02:39] <wasp_ems> nkassi, but the site u gave me mentions ati cards which i do not have..mine i think is earlier
[02:39] <dope12345> all right, thx for all the help. i'm gonna see if i can get this to work now
[02:39] <dope12345> brb maybe
[02:39] <wasp_ems> nkassi, should i go ahead anyway?
[02:39] <esc_ape> I have a question to debate. what is more stable, linux or osx?
[02:40] <jrib> !offtopic | esc_ape
[02:40] <ubotu> esc_ape: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:40] <nkassi> wasp_ems: oh, yikes then you don't need the drivers. Your ati card is probably too slow what type is it exactly ?
[02:40] <MrBunny> I'm getting a "freqency out of range" error after I log in with my eMachines monitor after I updated from 6.06 and rebooted,  help please.
[02:40] <wasp_ems> nkassi, ati radeon 345m igp
[02:41] <wasp_ems> nkassi, from what i read it is in the supported list by xgl
[02:41] <nkassi> wasp_ems: then try the driver install anyways, I believe it should work
[02:41] <wasp_ems> nkassi, ok thanx
[02:41] <nkassi> wasp_ems: The mobile Ati cards have odd name
[02:42] <wasp_ems> nkassi, well tell me good luck
[02:42] <nkassi> wasp_ems: I don't want to jinx it
[02:42] <wasp_ems> nkassi, :)
[02:42] <nkassi> wasp_ems: check your steps
[02:43] <nkassi> Me got to go. See you all later
[02:46] <bur[n] er_> anyone know why apt-index-watcher seems to run every 10 seconds or so and takes my processor to 100%?
[02:47] <sizzam> bur[n] er_: are you using Edgy or Dapper?
[02:47] <agent> how does one scan for ports in a network?
[02:47] <jk__> vmware url bug fix had the LD_PRELOAD for libdbus-1.so.3 , but can find .3 only .2, do you know where I can get .3 version
[02:48] <bur[n] er_> sizzam: edgy
[02:49] <bimberi> agent: System -> Administration -> Network Tools has a Port Scanner
[02:49] <markus> because FAT32 only allows max 2GB files,would it be more logical if I instead use windows to create a NTFS partition on my drive and then use a program (forget the name right now) to make it wr to windows and ubuntu?
[02:49] <sizzam> bur[n] er_: check out this thread, there's a fix posted on post #12  - http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217277
[02:49] <agent> bimberi: yes, but how do i scan a whole network?
[02:50] <bur[n] er_> markus: windows can read/write ext3 via ext2ifs
[02:50] <bur[n] er_> thanks sizzam
[02:50] <agent> bimberi: as in, all possible clients from x ip to y ip?
[02:50] <markus> what about the other way around>
[02:50] <bimberi> agent: you could first do a broadcast ping and look for reponses
[02:51] <luminousnerd> How can I get CVS?
[02:52] <agent> bimberi: good idea... and how do i go about doing that? (sorry, i forgot these things - used to do them years ago)

[02:57] <Iceman_B> the live cd of 6.10 always boots up a live version first
[02:57] <crimsun> Iceman_B: use the alternate installer (text-based) instead
[02:57] <Falstius> Iceman_B: you can use the "alternative" cd
[02:58] <Iceman_B> ah, alright
[02:58] <Falstius> downloadable from the same place
[02:58] <Iceman_B> thanks
[02:59] <bimberi> variant: yes, i'm not sure sorry, I've seen that recommended for the ./configure/make/make-install dance.  if /usr/bin/gcc points to /etc/alternatives/???? then update-alternatives would be the way

[02:59] <Pelo> user-land,  it should be in the menu under games
[02:59] <eiersalat> :-L
[03:00] <ISOLATEDViRuS> can someone help me mount it?
[03:00] <rasman> user-land, you can run 'dpkg -L packagename' to get an idea of what files were installed
[03:00] <variant> bimberi: ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 /usr/bin/gcc did the trick
[03:00] <Pupeno> Does Ubuntu Edgy come with the same version of Gnome as Ubuntu Breezy ?
[03:00] <bimberi> variant: indeed it should have :)
[03:00] <variant> bimberi: damn lol, same error  om make :)
[03:00] <dnite> Pupeno, no.
[03:00] <Pelo> ISOLATEDViRuS,  there should be instructions in the forum for that I am sure
[03:00] <Madhouze> can anyone help me with my xserver crashing?
[03:00] <dnite> Pupeno, 2.16.1 vs 2.14
[03:00] <user-land> pelo, do you have it there ?
[03:00] <ISOLATEDViRuS> what forum?
[03:00] <bimberi> variant: :/
[03:00] <overridex> anyone here use jackfield for desklets?  just curious of how it is...
[03:00] <eiersalat> is there a way to set gnome language via CLI
[03:00] <variant> /usr/src/modules/unionfs/missing_vfs_funcs.h:33: error: structure has no member named `i_sem'
[03:01] <variant> etc
[03:01] <ISOLATEDViRuS> ive done it before, i just dont remember how i did it, i think i edited fstab or mtab
[03:01] <bimberi> eww
[03:01] <Pelo> user-land,   I don'T have games on my computer
[03:01] <variant> !unionfs
[03:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about unionfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:02] <Pelo> user-land,  do you know the name of the package ?  try using that in the terminal
[03:02] <eiersalat> hello ????
[03:02] <eiersalat> is tehre a way to set the gnome langugae via terminal ?
[03:02] <Pelo> eiersalat, ???
[03:03] <rasman> ISOLATEDViRuS, you will need to have your ipod set to mount like a hard-drive.  It is somewhere in the settings menu.
[03:03] <eiersalat> will setting al locales to new language do the trick ?
[03:03] <highneko> user-land: it might be in the Main Menu -> Games
[03:03] <rasman> ISOLATEDViRuS, then you will need to see if your system recognizes it 'lsusb' will tell you what equipment is plugged into your usb
[03:03] <Pelo> eiersalat,  yes there is, but I don'T know what it is for sure,  try   apt-cache search  "language name here"  and see what language packs come up , one of them is bound to be the pack for gnome
[03:04] <eiersalat> i ve installed them
[03:04] <eiersalat> Pelo, language-pack-nds -base -gnome-nds and gnome-nds-base i ve installed
[03:04] <user-land> rasman, thanks: /usr/share/menu/searchandrescue , but when i call it terminal says command not found.
[03:04] <Pelo> eiersalat,   I don'T know from there, that was all I had to contribute
[03:04] <eiersalat> but is there no "low german" or "low saxon" in the GUI where to chooce langugage
[03:05] <eiersalat> ok , but thanks :)
[03:05] <eiersalat> schei gnome :(
, what happens when you type 'search<tab>'
[03:06] <Pelo> eiersalat,  why can'T you using the language support app from  system > admin ?  if you are in gnome already
[03:06] <babo> Isn't there a wiki out there for different cities across the world ?
[03:06] <babo> like a travellors wiki or something ...
, tab completion should make sure that there are no typos
[03:06] <eiersalat> Pelo, the nds langugae is not in the list there
[03:06] <user-land> ah, rasman pelo and highneko, thanks, it is 'SearchAndRescue' :-)
[03:06] <Pelo> eiersalat, it might not be available
[03:06] <eiersalat> it is
[03:06] <user-land> pity it can not be added to the menu though.
[03:07] <eiersalat> there is a gnome nds language pack, Pelo
[03:07] <eiersalat> like for de or en
[03:07] <user-land> mmmh, eiersalat :-)
, you can add it to the desktop by right-clicking and creating a Launcher
[03:07] <beo> anyone know why a dig camera wont be seen by ubuntu... or rather why it wont dl the pics?
[03:07] <eiersalat> :)
[03:07] <Pelo> eiersalat,  try looking in the forum for help maybe you'll find something there
[03:08] <eiersalat> yep i do already :)
[03:08] <eiersalat> thanks again Pelo :)
[03:08] <Pelo> hey, no help , no problem
[03:08] <highneko> beo: It might be a setting in your camera. I once changed a setting on my camera and then my computers wouln't download anything from it.
[03:09] <Pelo> !flash9
[03:09] <ubotu> You can download Flash Player 9 Beta here: http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/dapper-seveas/custom/ (replace dapper-seveas with edgy-seveas for Edgy) - Official Adobe page at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html
[03:10] <david_> Hello every one I am new to ubuntu and wanted to introduce myself
[03:10] <beo> highneko, its a kodak P850 and it isnt recognised by digikam in gnome here but it worked fine and was recognised by the same program in Suse KDE digikam
[03:10] <user-land> unfortunately the game has massive problems here, had to force quit it.
[03:10] <rasman> eiersalat, have you tried running 'update-locale' or 'dpkg --configure belocs-locales-bin'
[03:10] <fivre> I got X to run under Edgy, but I can't right-click anymore. What do I do?
[03:10] <david_> could I ask for some help with qtparted?
[03:10] <eiersalat> oooh thx rasman,. i ll give a tryd
[03:11] <eiersalat> one thing i ve to say:
[03:11] <highneko> beo: When you plugin your camera are you asked if you want to upload iamges without digicam?
[03:11] <eiersalat> the gnome langugage choosing GUI is crap
[03:11] <eiersalat> its also not translated
[03:11] <fivre> that might explain why I have en-AU
[03:11] <rasman> david_, hey david
[03:11] <fivre> hey, middle click doesn't work either!
[03:11] <eiersalat> sry not intended to flame, but its not good, especially that the langugage list isnt translated
[03:12] <rasman> david_, I'm more familiar with gparted
[03:12] <david_> I installed qtparted to formate a sata drive that shows on my desktop
[03:12] <rasman> eiersalat, that's why the terminal is king :)
[03:12] <eiersalat> cause i dont know waht "plattdeutsch" or "niederdeutsch" (nds) is in english
[03:13] <eiersalat> yeah rasman
[03:13] <beo> highneko,   yea, by the default gnome app telling me there are photos to be dl'd then when I tell it to do that  there was an error in the IO library and it couldnot claim the interface
[03:13] <beo> Operation not permitted
[03:13] <eiersalat> that is why i asked for a nasty CLI command to switch the language, rasman, i will try your suggestions now :)
[03:13] <rasman> david_, what happens when you start qtparted?
[03:13] <david_> when trying applications, system tools qtparted I get no device found maybe your not using root as user
[03:13] <Pelo> beo try doing it as root,  just for testing
[03:14] <beo> how? when I try to log in as root, I gettold that root cannot log in
[03:14] <rasman> david_, run the command as 'sudo qtparted' to elevate your priviledges
[03:14] <sethk> beo, you can use sudo.  or you can set the root password and root will be allowed to log in
[03:14] <david_> do I do that in a terminal?
[03:15] <rasman> david_, terminal or press F2 and type it in there
[03:15] <beo> k thanks, Ill try sudo
[03:15] <Pelo> beo,  what ever application you use to access your camera ,  start if from the terminal with gksu  applicaiton-name
[03:15] <user-land> yes, language list not being translated struck me as showing plainly that Ubuntu is not ready for prime time.
[03:15] <luminousnerd> The Readme says to ./configure
[03:15] <luminousnerd> But yet: luminousnerd@LumiPuter:~/e17/libs/eet$ ./configure
[03:15] <luminousnerd> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[03:15] <rasman> david_, gparted has a shortcut to sudo gparted listed under 'System --> Administration'
[03:15] <david_> I ran in terminal had errors but opened qtparted  showing drives.
[03:16] <rasman> david_, what errors?
[03:16] <luminousnerd> Is that something funky with Ubuntu or is something wrong?
[03:16] <david_> ransom, can I copy and paste it into this forum
[03:17] <rasman> luminousnerd, make sure that you are in the root directory of that application
[03:17] <matro> Hello there is a deb of makehuman for ubuntu but it is not in the add remove apps list how do I install software that is not on the list. And yes I am new to Ubuntu
[03:17] <luminousnerd> I am, and ls shows that the closest thing to configure is configure.in
[03:17] <Pelo> luminousnerd,  did you install build-essential first ?
[03:17] <eiersalat> user-land its not ubuntu, its gnome i think
[03:17] <luminousnerd> Pelo: no, not that I know of
[03:17] <david_>  Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166
[03:18] <luminousnerd> apt-get install build-essentials?
[03:18] <david_>  Major opcode:  144
[03:18] <rasman> david_, that may be due to a device that is plugged in but not recognizable
[03:18] <rasman> david_, can you format the drive?
[03:18] <jamin06> can someone explain the make command for me
[03:18] <Pelo> luminousnerd,   use synaptic ,  search and install build-essential  you need that to compile manualy
[03:18] <david_> okay that makes sense it had a windows os on it in ntfs file system
[03:18] <user-land> eiersalat, ubuntu claimed they would give back to the sources ...
[03:18] <luminousnerd> synaptic?
[03:18] <david_> I am going to try formating now
[03:18] <beo> ran the gksu and it opened root owner for digikam but still wont allow it to be seen
[03:19] <nomasteryoda|w> !tell Pelo about make
[03:19] <jamin06> no me
[03:19] <nomasteryoda|w> jamin06, just sec
[03:19] <Falstius> jamin06: make is basically a scripting language that is used for determing how to compile programs.  You can read more in the man page or online.
[03:19] <jamin06> thanks
[03:19] <rc-1> if i cant complie with gcc how do i fix path
[03:19] <Pelo> jamin06,  when compiling a app from souce manualy,  /configure check to make sure the dependencies are installed,  make  creates and instal file  and make install installs it
[03:19] <luminousnerd> Says I already have it, Pelo
[03:20] <Pelo> luminousnerd,   system > admin > synaptic package manager
[03:20] <sethk>   ./configure, not /configure
[03:20] <jamin06> ok heres the deal. got a folder on desktop. it has a makefile. i need to "make"
[03:20] <Pelo> nomasteryoda,  I wasn'T the one asking
[03:20] <rasman> jamin06, usually you need to run './configure' first
[03:20] <nomasteryoda|w> oops
[03:20] <Pelo> jamin06,  other then that minor mistake can you find anything wrong with my explanantion ?
[03:20] <david_> rasman, I am trying to delete the partitions but won't allow me says it is mounted
[03:21] <luminousnerd> Okay so if ./configure isn't working and I've got the latest build essential, what not?
[03:21] <luminousnerd> *now
[03:21] <AngryElf> hey guys, i'm using ndiswrapper over a wireless connection and there's a noticeable lag on every connection, which if fine, except for ssh which timesout too soon........any way around this?
[03:21] <Pelo> luminousnerd,  look in the application folder for a readme file or an install file  ,  open them as txt and read for instuctions
[03:21] <Falstius> jamin06: cd into the diretory and type make -f makefile
[03:21] <sethk> jamin06, that isn't what you do first
[03:21] <rasman> david_, careful, you may be looking at your system drives.  But more than likely, ubuntu automatically mounted the drive.
[03:21] <jamin06> there it is
[03:21] <jamin06> oh
[03:21] <jamin06> im cd'd into the directory
[03:21] <luminousnerd> Pelo: There is both. but the readme said to ./configure
[03:21] <jamin06> im confused as to waht to type in and what order
[03:21] <Pelo> luminousnerd,  you can also check to make sure there isn'T a package for that app in synaptic , might be easier
[03:21] <rasman> david_, run 'df -h' to see what is mounted and how much space is left on the drives
[03:21] <beo> my media folder doesnt even show the camera at all and it is hooked up right, and the system does "see" it when its connected but the apps act like it isnt there
[03:21] <luminousnerd> should i run install?
[03:22] <sethk> jamin06, it being on (or not being on) a desktop is entirely irrelevant
[03:22] <jamin06> fine
[03:22] <Pelo> luminousnerd,  read the install
[03:22] <luminousnerd> Pelo: I doubt it, Ubuntu is all-Gnome all-the-time right?
[03:22] <david_> okay I am sure it is not the system drive.
[03:22] <david_> that is hda
[03:22] <Pelo> luminousnerd,  not necessaraly
[03:22] <kitche> jamin06: does it have a file in there that is called configure?
[03:22] <jamin06> configure.scan
[03:22] <david_> have ubuntu on a pata drive and the backup drive is sata... this is going to be a backup system for windows and linux server
[03:23] <luminousnerd> This is E17. I'm installing their libs so that I can run one of the apps that comes with E17 (the little mac-esque bar at the bottom has a non-widget version called Engage)
[03:23] <rasman> david_, you can run 'sudo umount /dev/hd<tab>' to unmount whatever drive
[03:23] <beo> highneko,  this is the error when running the app from terminal  "X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
[03:23] <beo> "
[03:23] <kitche> jamin06: no other configure files just plain configure
[03:23] <voraistos> !ati
[03:23] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:23] <IrishDave> hey guys, I've run into a little problem trying to get ubuntu working on my laptop, the cd drive has stopped working, i have thought up a solution but need help with it.
[03:23] <rasman> david_, but you said it was sata so it would likely be /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2
[03:23] <david_> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[03:23] <Pelo> luminousnerd,  are you sure you can'T find a linux version of that engage thing ? what does it do ?
[03:24] <david_> /dev/hda1             143G  2.0G  134G   2% /
[03:24] <luminousnerd> Pelo: answer was in INSTALL file
[03:24] <zumiez> Is it good to reinstall ATI Radion drivers after changing KERNELS??????
[03:24] <luminousnerd> if you got this from enlightenment cvs do: ./autogen.sh
[03:24] <jamin06> kitche: no
[03:24] <rasman> zumiez, are you using stock ubuntu kernels?
[03:24] <zumiez> yea
[03:24] <kitche> jamin06: I'll brbr class just got over
[03:24] <david_> /dev/sda1             154G  318M  154G   1% /media/sda1
[03:24] <Pelo> luminousnerd,   that's often where it is, in linux you need to learn to read
[03:24] <luminousnerd> Pelo: Engage IS for linux...it's an app running on E17 an alternative WM...
[03:24] <zumiez> im using stock generic kernel thinger that came with ubuntu
[03:24] <IrishDave> I'm thinking of writing the files to the hard disk using a usb connection (i have the drive case to allow this), that will then be bootable when inserted into the laptop
[03:24] <jamin06> k
[03:24] <IrishDave> i'm thinking of doing this from suse if anyone has any ideas?
[03:24] <luminousnerd> But it's not released yet, you have to get it through CVS
[03:25] <rasman> zumiez, then there is no need to reinstall ATI drivers
[03:25] <zumiez> rasman but my 3d is acting all funky
[03:25] <rasman> zumiez, run 'fglrxinfo' to see if the driver loaded correctly
[03:25] <luminousnerd> Running aclocal...
[03:25] <luminousnerd> ./autogen.sh: 8: aclocal: not found
[03:25] <IrishDave> what i dont know is what files to copy to the disk and how to set up the bootloader when not using the drive
[03:25] <rasman> david_, definately 'umount /dev/sda1' :)
[03:25] <rasman> david_, definately 'sudo umount /dev/sda1'
[03:26] <Pelo> luminousnerd,  sounds linke aclocal is a dependency,  look for it in synaptic
[03:26] <david_> qtparted shows /dev/sda1 ext3 active 153.38GB
[03:26] <Suavsilk_> can someone help me with an MPlaye r codecc problem
[03:26] <rasman> luminousnerd, you can do a quick search with 'aptitude search packagename'
[03:27] <rasman> david_, after unmounting it?
[03:27] <rasman> Suavsilk_, what's up?
[03:27] <david_> no I am new and not fast. I am writing what qtparted is saying
[03:27] <david_> padon my slowness.
[03:27] <Suavsilk_> rasman, i get an error when i try to play AVI's. i think i need to do something with win32.. or something
[03:28] <rasman> david_, you might want to close qtparted first and then umount the sda1 drive
[03:28] <jamesbrink> is it possible to use firestarter with 2 network interfaces?
[03:28] <rasman> david_, don't worry... this stuff just takes time getting used to it
[03:28] <jamesbrink> it seems to block traffic to my 2nd interface
[03:28] <thevenin> jamesbrink: do you mean like 2 NIC's?
[03:28] <david_> okay I will try that... thanks a million I still have to learn mirc *LOL*
[03:29] <thevenin> it is a setting wrong somewhere
[03:29] <rasman> Suavsilk_, do you have the w32codecs installed?  'dpkg -l w32codecs'
[03:29] <david_> rasman thanks a bunch at least I have a starting point
[03:29] <knapp> anyone know of a program that'll let me edit WMA tags?
[03:29] <jamesbrink> thevenin: yes
[03:29] <Suavsilk_> rasman, i dont think so
[03:29] <rasman> david_, I'm learning xchat today
[03:29] <david_> 02 /dev/sda-1 free 7.84MB
[03:29] <luminousnerd> Pelo and rasman, Not found in synaptic
[03:29] <jamesbrink> thevenin: im trying to firewall just for my nic and wireless
[03:29] <rasman> Suavsilk_, what happens when you run 'sudo aptitude install w32codecs'
[03:29] <thevenin> well firestarter works with 2 NIC's, designed to be setup that way
[03:29] <thevenin> so i would check you settings
[03:30] <thevenin> your*
[03:30] <Pelo> luminousnerd,  google
[03:30] <david_> well that is what I am using right now. They did a good job with this version of ubuntu they seem to have solved the add and remove program system
[03:30] <voraistos> rasman: wont work w32codeds are not in any repo
[03:30] <rasman> Suavsilk_, you probably can't install it without adding a 'patent problem' repository
[03:30] <beo> "could not claim camera device while connected to USB device"
[03:30] <jamesbrink> it looks like it supports 2 interfaces for a trusted and untrusted
[03:30] <Suavsilk_> rasman, it does allot of stuff :/
[03:30] <jamesbrink> idk ill keep messing with it
[03:31] <david_> how does one send message to a specific person
[03:31] <Pelo> luminousnerd,  you can also try looking it up here http://www.linuxsoft.cz/en/
[03:31] <david_> I hate talking to you rasman in third party
[03:31] <Pelo> david_,  /msg  nick message
[03:31] <Suavsilk_> rasman, the error is: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
[03:31] <beo> oops, it was could not claim USB device while connecting to camera"  sorry
[03:31] <skreet> I know with nano you can open multiple file buffers, how do you switch between them?
[03:32] <Pelo> beo,  try looking up your camera model in the forum, someone might have had your problem and left instructions
[03:32] <david_> Pelo not private public
[03:32] <|rt|> is there a place that stores the root mySQL password so that dpkg works properly to configure packages that need to install databases?
[03:32] <rasman> Suavsilk_, totally different problem, sorry.  run 'mplayer -vo help' to see what options are available for video output
[03:32] <bigfuzzyjesus> when i dont have a window manager open and try to open one using display command it gives me an error, i have more than 1 window manager though so is that a variable (xcfe, gnome, fluxbox)
[03:32] <FatherTyme> Is anyone else getting errors trying to install build-essential on dapper?
[03:32] <thevenin> skreet: man nano
[03:32] <Suavsilk_> david_, if you put the name of the person infront of your message, it will be highlited on thier screen
[03:32] <Pelo> david_,  just put the nick first then
[03:32] <beo> Pelo, thanks
[03:32] <bruenig> FatherTyme, what errors are you getting
[03:32] <voraistos> Suavsilk_ i suppose you are trying to run mplayer now. you have to go to configuration, and select a video output such as Xv. default is mostly non supported
[03:32] <david_> Suavsilk, thank you
[03:32] <FatherTyme> apt-get indicates that the package  has no installation candidate
[03:33] <david_> Pelo thank you
[03:33] <david_> rasman thanks a million
[03:33] <FatherTyme> Very weird.
[03:33] <skreet> thevenin: Thank you for pointing me to the man file, but it doesnt answer my questions
[03:33] <david_> Good bye to every one and thanks for all your help.
[03:33] <Suavsilk_> rasman, there are many options
[03:33] <thevenin> skreet: -f = multibuffer
[03:33] <rasman> |rt|, Yes /etc/mysql/debian.cnf  Read more about it in /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.0/README.Debian.gz using zless
[03:34] <skreet> thevenin: Please read my original question
[03:34] <bigfuzzyjesus> rasman,  when i dont have a window manager open and try to open one using display command it gives me an error, i have more than 1 window manager though so is that a variable (xcfe, gnome, fluxbox)
[03:34] <|rt|> rasman: thanks
[03:34] <bruenig> FatherTyme, and you are sure you have the main repository enabled?
[03:34] <skreet> thevenin: "I know with nano you can open multiple file buffers, how do you switch between them?"
[03:34] <Suavsilk_> voraistos, MPlayer dosnt apear to have toolbar options
[03:35] <Suavsilk_> voraistos, only the basic Play, Stop etc btns
[03:35] <voraistos> Suavsilk_ right or left click on the main window to see the menu
[03:35] <rasman> Suavsilk_, choose -vo xv for the best accelerated output.  if that doesn't work then use -vo x11
[03:35] <FatherTyme> yup. http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Sources
[03:35] <bigfuzzyjesus> rasman,  when i dont have a window manager open and try to open one using display command it gives me an error, i have more than 1 window manager though so is that a variable (xcfe, gnome, fluxbox)
[03:35] <rasman> bigfuzzyjesus, I'm trying to remember how to pick your window manager for gnome
[03:35] <luminousnerd> anyone here ever install automake?
[03:35] <|rt|> rasman: the file says do not touch....should I be worried about mucking around in there?
[03:36] <Suavsilk_> voraistos, got it thx
[03:36] <bruenig> FatherTyme, the line should say deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main
[03:36] <bigfuzzyjesus> rasman, xcfe is my main window manager
[03:36] <skreet> thevenin: I found it if you're curious, Meta-< and Meta->
[03:37] <rasman> |rt|, careful, I may have given you the wrong advice
[03:37] <jamesbrink> ok firestarter works
[03:37] <|rt|> rasman: well it looks like it may be along the right track....but the file has a warning at the top of it
[03:37] <jamesbrink> i just had to click that stupid thing for internet sharing
[03:37] <rasman> |rt|, that file contains the random password that debian-sys-maint uses to install packages
[03:37] <jamesbrink> thought that was for nat or somthing
[03:38] <|rt|> rasman: should there be a user in mysql to match debian-sys-maint?
[03:38] <rasman> bigfuzzyjesus, I think that xfce is the desktop environment.  Something like metacity is the window manager
[03:38] <thevenin> skreet: i dont know i will play with some options a little and if i get anything tell you
[03:38] <Suavsilk_> rasman, entering mplayer -vo xv, and mplayer -vo x11 in terminal returned errors/help list
[03:38] <rasman> |rt|, yes
[03:38] <skreet> thevenin: I found it if you're curious, Meta-< and Meta->
[03:38] <rasman> Suavsilk_, that brings me back to the idea that you don't have the correct windows codecs installed
[03:39] <Suavsilk_> rasman, how might i install these codecs?
[03:39] <thevenin> ok thank you, always good to learn something new

[03:39] <bigfuzzyjesus> |rt|,  when i dont have a window manager open and try to open one using display command it gives me an error, i have more than 1 window manager though so is that a variable (xcfe, gnome, fluxbox)
[03:40] <haxality> hello
[03:40] <haxality> I'm having an interesting problem getting mp3 files to play
[03:40] <haxality> or any kind of media at all, for that matter
[03:40] <nalioth> haxality: how interesting is it?

[03:40] <haxality> thanks!
[03:40] <haxality> hooray bots
[03:41] <rasman> Suavsilk_, w32codecs check out http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy for more information
[03:41] <|rt|> bigfuzzyjesus: sorry can't help you there
[03:41] <Suavsilk_> rasman, will start reading up
[03:42] <skreet> haxality: All your media is in proprietary formats, ubuntu doesn't support out of the box
[03:42] <skreet> haxality: It's not really interesting :)
[03:42] <Suavsilk_> rasman, should i run this code?: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-gl gstreamer0.10-plugins-base \
[03:42] <Suavsilk_> gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse \

[03:42] <skreet> Suavsilk_: Please don't flood.
[03:42] <bruenig> Suavsilk_, remove the \
[03:42] <bruenig> or rather the \'s
[03:42] <skreet> Suavsilk_: don't remove the \'s
[03:43] <skreet> They indicate new lines in bash.
[03:43] <skreet> It's a multiline command.
[03:43] <Suavsilk_> skreet, bruenig, ok sry thx
[03:43] <Tosty> Buenas... alguien habla espaol?
[03:43] <Tosty> Buenas... alguien habla espaol?
[03:43] <bruenig> skreet, it is one command, the \ are put in there because where they were posted, they didn't want the command to force the page width to go way out
[03:44] <rasman> Suavsilk_, that will attempt to get totem codecs which is different and I don't think that you have the right repositories.  Ubuntu can't offer patent infringing packages
[03:44] <skreet> tosty: por espanol tu voy #ubuntu-es
[03:44] <skreet> Tosty:  and my spanish sucks :\
[03:44] <rasman> Suavsilk_, http://seveas.theplayboymansion.net/seveas/ has the repository list
[03:44] <Suavsilk_> rasman i see
[03:44] <rasman> gotta go
[03:44] <bigfuzzyjesus> can anyone help me
[03:44] <bigfuzzyjesus>  when i dont have a window manager open and try to open one using display command it gives me an error, i have more than 1 window manager though so is that a variable (xcfe, gnome, fluxbox)
[03:45] <Tosty> ok THANKS!!!
[03:45] <skreet> bigfuzzyjesus: How are you starting X?
[03:45] <foormea> hi
[03:45] <bruenig> !hi | foormea
[03:45] <ubotu> foormea: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:45] <skreet> bigfuzzyjesus: Consider installing a desktop manager, like xdm, gdm or kdm, it will maintain sessions for you.
[03:45] <scorp007> what package do i need to get manpages for the C standard library?
[03:45] <Suavsilk_> rasman, im runing the code i posted b4, at the end it does have win32codecs
[03:46] <skreet> scorp007: hang on a sec, i think i know that :P
[03:46] <scorp007> sure
[03:46] <bimberi> scorp007: manpages-dev
[03:46] <foormea> i just resized one of my ext3 partition, roughly from 40 to 70gb, thing is gparted kinda crashed ; i still have my data but free space is not accurate, it's just as if i was still having a 40gb partition (10gb free when 30gb used...). i already runned a e2fsck and it says no pb.
[03:46] <scorp007> bimberi: ah, thanks
[03:46] <bluefox83> is there a list of all the games available in the ubuntu repository?
[03:46] <skreet> bimberi: Just about to say that
[03:46] <skreet> heh
[03:47] <bimberi> scorp007: np :).  Sorry skreet
[03:48] <agent> how can i make one computer share a cd drive with another over ssh?
[03:48] <foormea> oh just found the -f option. i'll try that
[03:48] <haxality> ok, I got mp3 support working in xine and rhythmbox, but I'd really like to be able to use xmms and mplayer
[03:48] <bimberi> bluefox83: Syaptic has a "Games and Amusements" section.
[03:48] <bruenig> so does synaptic
[03:49] <skreet> bimberi: So does synaptic
[03:49] <skreet> oh man!
[03:49] <haxality> am I doing something hugely wrong?
[03:49] <skreet> owned again!
[03:49] <skreet> i think you can tell xmms/mplayer to use gstreamer libraries
[03:49] <bimberi> skreet: give up now :)
[03:49] <haxality> oh
[03:49] <haxality> heh
[03:49] <skreet> bimberi: I guess..
[03:49] <skreet> Im too busy to be quick
[03:49] <Falstius> haxality: why not just install xmms and mplayer then?
[03:49] <haxality> I did
[03:50] <bimberi> skreet: i'm off for a coffee anyway
[03:50] <haxality> they won't play mp3s or movie files
[03:50] <skreet> have fun :)
[03:50] <skreet> haxality: Kill them.
[03:50] <bimberi> skreet: cheers :)
[03:50] <haxality> uhh.. I don't think I should resort to violence so quickly
[03:50] <skreet> haxality: Violence never hurt anyone.
[03:50] <haxality> hahahaha
[03:50] <haxality> man, I really enjoy this channel sometimes
[03:51] <skreet> #ubuntu is where the party's at.
[03:51] <haxality> it's strange though, I think ubuntu actually managed to convert me to gnome
[03:51] <skreet> Or something.
[03:51] <Moon_Rabbits> Can someone tell me how I go about having two OS with the whole dual-booting jazz/
[03:51] <Moon_Rabbits> ?*
[03:51] <Pelo> well for a support only channel it can be pretty funky
[03:51] <skreet> haxality: I hear ya :(
[03:51] <haxality> I was such a hardcore fluxbox user
[03:51] <jrib> ubotu: tell Moon_Rabbits about dualboot
[03:51] <haxality> but like.. it just does such a good job integrating with gnome
[03:51] <Pelo> Moon_Rabbits,  install ubun and let grub handle it
[03:51] <haxality> maybe I'll just use xfce
[03:51] <haxality> that way I feel like it's gnome, but it doesn't lag my computer
[03:52] <skreet> haxality: the problem with all DEs for linux is the lack of integration, but ubuntu has done a good job.
[03:52] <foormea> hmm, just went through the e2fscd -f, still no improvement... do you have any idea?
[03:52] <haxality> I'm really impressed, to be honest
[03:52] <haxality> I'm about the most linux-cynical person on the face of the earth, too
[03:52] <bruenig> xfce is great
[03:52] <haxality> it took 4 installs to get ubuntu working on this laptop
[03:52] <bruenig> once you go xfce, you never go back
[03:52] <haxality> friggin trident video card
[03:52] <haxality> on that note, I'm gonna switch over to xfce and start configuring it
[03:53] <haxality> adieu, #ubuntu
[03:53] <Pelo> haxality,  have fun
[03:53] <Suavsilk_> rasman, skreet, bruenig, somehow during what i did i managed to get Totem Movie Player 2.16.2 to work perfectly... ive decided to uninstall MPlayer. thanks for your help
[03:53] <lightup> does anyone know what this means when I try and run alsamixer please?  It's got me stumped. "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory"
[03:53] <skreet> Suavsilk_: Totem is good stuff :D
[03:53] <Suavsilk_> word ;) byebye
[03:54] <skreet> lightup: _ctl_open is to access the sound card.
[03:54] <lightup> ok
[03:54] <skreet> lightup: hold on a sec
[03:54] <lightup> could it be linked to the fact that sound files will only run if i open them with sudo?
[03:55] <skreet> lightup: Does that alsamixer problem go away when you sudo it?
[03:55] <Pelo> lightup,  if you can only run sound files as root something is definately wrong
[03:55] <lightup> ill try it
[03:55] <Jordan_U> How can I install fglrx without removing nvidia-glx ?
[03:55] <lightup> no same error as sudo
[03:56] <skreet> lightup: Just for kicks, make sure you're in the audio:x: line of /etc/group
[03:56] <lightup> its odd it only happens when I log in, ubuntu plays the login screen drum but then refuses to make sound after that, and I'm definitely in the audio group
[03:56] <lightup> I'll double check though, so I don't have to kick mytself later!
[03:56] <skreet> lightup: the sound made when you log in may well be as root, i think gdm is root.
[03:56] <matts03441> anyone use xine know what "driver" to use for best performance?
[03:56] <foormea> hey sorry guys, do you have any idea about that ext3 problem? i'm supposed to have like 40gb free but it says only 10gb free, e2fsck reports the partition as 'clean'
[03:56] <jack_> hi everyone, i have a problem with i810 driver for direct rendering
[03:57] <skreet> foormea: What does df -h report?
[03:57] <jack_> if i run something that uses direct rendering, sometimes, i get a crash of not just the program, but also of X
[03:57] <skreet> foormea: pastebin it if possible
[03:57] <jack_> how do i fix this?
[03:57] <Pelo> lightup,  check the user settings and make sure you have access to play sound files,  just for kicks
[03:57] <skreet> Pelo: That's the audio group, I think
[03:57] <lightup> audio:x:29:matt
[03:58] <Jordan_U> jack_: What is the output of: glxinfo | grep driver?
[03:58] <skreet> lightup: Has this ever worked, or a fresh install?
[03:58] <foormea> /dev/hda7              43G   30G   11G  74% /media/sauv          hummm yeah indeed 43gb, there's supposed to be like 70...
[03:58] <feanoris> hello! I'm using xchat and /me doesn't appear at all but only my nickname appears and nothing else. What should i do to repair it in order to see /me myself
[03:58] <feanoris> ?
[03:58] <lightup> its only been a problem since I changed from my onboard sound to an audigy2
[03:58] <Pelo> skreet,  I have something in there that says "use audio peripherals"  more or less I am translatingfrom frnch here
[03:58] <bruenig> feanoris, #xchat
[03:58] <yangsup> $ glxgears
[03:58] <yangsup> libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x46
[03:59] <jack_> well, Jordan_U, it crashed on me and i'm currently ssh'd into te machine
[03:59] <jack_> the*
[03:59] <skreet> Pelo: Yes, I think that checking that box takes you out of audio group, etc.
[03:59] <yangsup> why?
[03:59] <jack_> so it says unable to open display...
[03:59] <Pelo> feanoris, what do you think /me does ? and are you putting a message afterwards
[03:59] <foormea> skreet should i try to re-resize it?
[04:00] <Jordan_U> jack_: Ok, I was just checking to make sure you were in fact using the correct driver, did you try to modprobe the module?
[04:00] <skreet> foormea: sudo cfdisk /dev/<device>
[04:00] <Crescendo_> I just installed a second video card, and connected a second monitor.  The screen won't display anything, though.  Now what?
[04:00] <skreet> foormea: Make sure it's partitioned right.
[04:00] <jack_> Jordan_U: yeah, intel_agp was properly modprobed, et al
[04:01] <Pelo> Crescendo, can you see your second card in the hardware manager ?
[04:01] <foormea> skreet :  hda7                    Logical   Linux ext3                       83149.36
[04:01] <jack_> i've looked online and there is a solution, but i don't know what to do with the module as it's not the same name as the module that i currently modprobe for (or X automagically modprobes for)
[04:01] <Jordan_U> How can I install fglrx without removing nvidia-glx ?
[04:01] <jack_> it's i810_drv or something instead of i810
[04:01] <skreet> foormea: Very odd.
[04:01] <Crescendo_> Pelo, device manager in administration?
[04:01] <Pelo> Crescendo,  yeah
[04:01] <skreet> foormea: check /etc/fstab to make sure it's being mounted right
[04:01] <foormea> yeap it is.
[04:02] <Crescendo_> Pelo, kinda.  I see nForce2 AGP with my primary card under it... and then a second one, with "(Different version?)" beside it.
[04:02] <skreet> foormea: Heres a curiosity question, and perhaps too much work for nil, but have you tried mounting it from a livecd?
[04:03] <npgmstr> hello
[04:03] <foormea> no actually i haven't rebooted since gparted crashed. well i could try rebooting or livecd.
[04:03] <etzerd> Hello all
[04:03] <Pelo> Crescendo,  have you run the xserver.conf proceedure ( I can't remember the exact name)
[04:03] <skreet> foormea: Wait.. gparted crashed while resizing?
[04:03] <skreet> ugggh
[04:04] <Pelo> hello etzerd
[04:04] <skreet> I would gparted it from a livecd...
[04:04] <skreet> see if you can do it that way
[04:04] <npgmstr> I am a newbe to linux and am in need of intrest support
[04:04] <foormea> do you think it'd be hazardous to resize it to a new 'random' size then back to 70gb?
[04:04] <Crescendo_> Pelo, yes.
[04:04] <foormea> yeah gparted kinda crashed but my data is all here. odd. i'll restart and check what the livecd says?
[04:04] <RobNyc> anyone here has Enemy Territory True Combat ?
[04:04] <skreet> foormea: I would just resize it 1 mb smaller
[04:04] <Pelo> npgmstr,  we only answer specific questions
[04:04] <skreet> foormea: to force a re-write

[04:05] <Pelo> Crescendo,  I don'T know ,  my usual answer in this situtation is to refer ppl to the forum ,
[04:05] <foormea> rebooting wouldn't change anything? or would it?
[04:05] <itrebal> I ran dist-upgrade last night and it produced an error, I've tried what it said to fix it, but I keep getting it back: pastebin.ca/250601
[04:05] <Crescendo_> I've had crappy response times with the forum, but I'll give it a shot.
[04:05] <itrebal> that error happens nomatter what I try installing
[04:05] <npgmstr> ok. how do I under stand it better aside from playing with ubuntu?
[04:05] <Crescendo_> Anyone else have any ideas?
[04:05] <lightup> hmmm I'm still getting nowhere with this, I don't know if it means anything but programs like audacity and the jack daemon run fine, it's just general audio programs.  Could it be a gstreamer thing?  I'm clutching at straws here it's had me stuck for days
[04:06] <jack_> so any ideas guys?
[04:06] <jack_> this is really annoying that i have a system that operates just like windows because of a lame driver
[04:06] <Pelo> Crescendo,  I mean searching the forum for something already there,  such as dual monitor , or dual video card
[04:06] <jack_> X randomly crashes on me when i run direct rendering module functionality utilizing programs like blender, etc.
[04:06] <npgmstr> thus far I love it. but I am kinda shying on putting it on  the main pc I use.
[04:07] <Crescendo_> I love how googling "dual video card" returns the first few results from ubuntuforums
[04:07] <Crescendo_> :P
[04:07] <itrebal> npgmstr: you are new to Linux?
[04:07] <Ryanw> whats the correct syntax to add the user apache to the group asterisk? i've tried usermod -g asterisk -u `id -u apache`
[04:07] <skreet> Crescendo: dual video card problems dont occur in other o/ses, and ubuntu is very popular :D
[04:07] <crimsun> Ryanw: sudo adduser apache asterisk
[04:07] <npgmstr> yeah big time. toyed with the ida for a few months. and got a machine that I slapped together and loded it in to try out
[04:07] <crimsun> Ryanw: you'll need to restart apache afterward
[04:08] <jack_> uhm, no
[04:08] <Pelo> npgmstr,  this might help  http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84
[04:08] <itrebal> npgmstr: once you get used to it, you'll be getting windows off of it so fast your head will spin :)

[04:09] <itrebal> any ideas how to fix this error:  pastebin.ca/250601 it came up after I did a dist-updrade
