[12:01] <LordKratos> I can't seem to choose between "Windows Wibble when Moved" or "Workspaces on a Cube" in the Desktop Effects. It doesn't work either. The effects can't be applied. Is there any way I can fix it?
[12:01] <Owner> on my ubuntu
[12:01] <michup> hi, actually it looks like this i bough Scott Muller book - Building and repairing PCs. Its acrobat reader file, i would like to: first: use some program and change it to plain text then use another text reading program and make it audio-book
[12:01] <Owner> how can i do taht?
[12:01] <aeiko_> I have a problem with my modem. It detects okay, but when I try to dial out I get the following error: period size 48 is not supported by playback . Any idea how to fix this?
[12:02] <Owner> how can i connect o my shell accoutn
[12:02] <LjL> Znuff: it does?
[12:02] <michup> im traveling a lot so it would be nice to hear its possible so i could listen it in car while traveling
[12:02] <Owner> from a remote computer
[12:02] <drega> cheers Znuff
[12:02] <Znuff> LjL, oh, wait, my bad, I was thinking of something else
[12:02] <Owner> ....
[12:02] <Yancho> guyws where are the samba commands saved to mount at load time pls ?
[12:03] <Owner> can anyone here me ?
[12:03] <Owner> or is my irc fucked up
[12:03] <Moduliz0r> Why does my drive for / vanish after running a Windows exe in WINE?
[12:03] <aeiko_> Owner: yes
[12:03] <Znuff> Owner, no, we can't
[12:03] <Owner> ok
[12:03] <Owner> sorry
[12:03] <LjL> Znuff: what were you thinking about? i'm not sure i know what i'm talking about either, i know ubuntstudio is a couple of metapackages, and now i see it's also a standalone distribution at ubuntustudio.org and described at wiki.ubuntu.com too
[12:03] <Owner> i dont know if i can swear or not
[12:03] <LjL> !language | Owner, no
[12:03] <ubotu> Owner, no: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:03] <LordKratos>  I can't seem to choose between "Windows Wobble when Moved" or "Workspaces on a Cube" in the Desktop Effects. It doesn't work either. The effects can't be applied. Is there any way I can fix it?
[12:03] <Owner> sorry it wont happen again
[12:03] <Znuff> LjL, something like Ubuntu Christmass Edition?
[12:03] <Moduliz0r> Why does my drive for / vanish after running a Windows exe in WINE?
[12:04] <LjL> Znuff, i'm not sure what that one is, but this one seems quite officially endorsed
[12:04] <swatF1RESTORM> if I wanted to connect to a MAC(apple) over a windows network, what would the service type be?
[12:04] <Owner> .... ljl
[12:04] <Owner> i was wondering
[12:04] <Znuff> swatF1RESTORM, samba
[12:04] <Owner> if you could explain to me
[12:04] <Owner> how to get a bot running
[12:04] <LjL> !enter
[12:04] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:04] <Owner> an irc server
[12:05] <LjL> Owner: i guess by installing one, configuring it and starting it
[12:05] <x2x> hi @ all
[12:05] <Owner> i understand
[12:05] <Owner> but i allready have it running
[12:05] <Owner> i dont really know how to configuer it
[12:05] <h4wk0> read the manual?
[12:05] <LjL> !enter | Owner
[12:05] <ubotu> Owner: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:05] <LjL> yeah, that would sound like a good idea
[12:05] <Znuff> LjL, this is what I was talking about: http://ubuntusoftware.info/xmas.html
[12:05] <Owner> yes i read the mannual
[12:05] <Znuff> LjL, it includes lots and lots of non-free software
[12:06] <h4wk0> Hang on, read is manual is not vaild help
[12:06] <LjL> irc bots are not toys. learn to configure them by yourself, it'll take some time but you'll run into trouble if you just blindly follow some recipes someone gives you.
[12:06] <h4wk0> Well if the manual doesnt saying anything, then you bummed :)
[12:06] <tri3axe> kny: sudo chown -R user /var/www/ .. still gives me permission denied
[12:06] <Owner> i know they are not toys
[12:06] <DM|> how does one unlock the sound server
[12:06] <Owner> all i want to know is how to get one going on my server
[12:07] <Pawba> hm
[12:07] <LjL> Owner, i don't yet even know what sort of bot you're using.
[12:07] <Pawba> I've removed fglrx from my system, but glxinfo still shows me "Client vendor: ATI" ?
[12:07] <Owner> eggdrop
[12:07] <linxeh> Pawba: did you reboot ?
[12:07] <Pawba> linxeh: About 8 times now.
[12:07] <linxeh> Pawba: heh :/
[12:08] <EpP> how do i check the freespace on my HD?
[12:08] <Jowen> h3xis, how goes the searching?
[12:08] <Pawba> edp: free
[12:08] <h3xis> Jowen did you run sudo iwconfig?
[12:08] <drega> EpP:  df -h
[12:08] <Jowen> no, I must have missed that...
[12:08] <LjL> Owner, the sample config file that comes with eggdrop-data (type  dpkg -L eggdrop-data , it's gzipped) is very thoroughly commented
[12:08] <h3xis> Jowen :p run sudo iwconfig and look for the name of your wireless interface. should be wlan0 or eth1 or something
[12:09] <Jowen> h3xis, ok, hang on
[12:09] <DM|> Anyone know how to reset the sound server (no sound is playing , and is locked by a WINE app)
[12:09] <Owner> ok, but will it run in the backround?
[12:09] <h3xis> EpP i think free  just shows memory stats. i might be wrong, but i know that df -h shows info abount your hard drive space
[12:09] <swatF1RESTORM> What are some of the first things you should do after a fresh install?
[12:09] <Owner> i tried before and i can't even connect to my server through a remote computer
[12:09] <kitche> DM|: have wine use alsa instead
[12:10] <DM|> kitche its using AOSS
[12:10] <Pawba> swatF1RESTORM: Purchase an Ubiquiti wifi card and download kismet?
[12:10] <DM|> a alsa oss wrapper
[12:10] <LjL> Owner, eggdrop starts in the background by default.
[12:10] <Owner> ok
[12:10] <DM|> but i need to unlock it, cus Mplayer wont go if thats on
[12:10] <swatF1RESTORM> Pawba: I don't need a wifi card ;-P
[12:10] <carlos_> someone knows about how to chanche the size console mode (ctrl-alt-f1)
[12:10] <EpP> h3xis, ah this it
[12:10] <Pawba> swatF1RESTORM: *everyone* needs wireless. :)
[12:10] <jiang999> anyone heard of ubuntu ultimate?
[12:10] <Owner> well thank you for all your help
[12:10] <Jowen> h3xis, "eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID: "" Nickname: "Broadcom 4318"
[12:10] <h3xis> Jowen okay, then
[12:10] <Owner> you have a good afternoon
[12:11] <jiang999> anyone heard of ubuntu ultimate?
[12:11] <rococo> swatF1RESTORM: start looking at all the programs for things you'll use every day and pick the best ones
[12:11] <Pawba> ugh
[12:11] <swatF1RESTORM> Pawba: I have a wireless card internal
[12:11] <Znuff> jiang999, yes. it violates everything the GPL stands for ^_^
[12:11] <ror> should I be concerned that my router gains 20 seconds every few hours
[12:11] <rococo> swatF1RESTORM: or at least the ones you like the best
[12:11] <Znuff> ror, time?
[12:11] <h3xis> Jowen do sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[12:11] <linxeh> ror: not really
[12:11] <lethu> carlos_, the size of the console is defined at boot time in grub
[12:11] <Pawba> Alright, there's no ATI driver installation stuff left on this system, and I still see "ATI" in glxinfo...  ?
[12:11] <Pawba> swatF1RESTORM: But is it 300mW?  I doubt it...
[12:11] <kitche> Pawba: you have to restart X and fix your xorg.conf
[12:11] <linxeh> ror: we have a server at work that gains a couple of minutes an hour - so we just use ntp every few minutes
[12:12] <rococo> Pawba: what kind of card is it?
[12:12] <Jowen> h3xis, just as i read it there? "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up"?
[12:12] <carlos_> lethu, I must to get into configuration grub? /boot/....
[12:12] <Pawba> The infamous Xpress 200M
[12:12] <h3xis> Jowen yes
[12:12] <Jowen> sudo ifconfig wlan0 up, OK
[12:12] <lethu> carlos_, yup
[12:12] <Jowen> hang on
[12:12] <Pawba> kitche: xorg.conf only lists "radeon" as the device.
[12:12] <carlos_> lethu, thanks
[12:12] <lethu> carlos_, yw
[12:12] <swatF1RESTORM> rococo: i was thinking more along the lines of things like easy-ubuntu, automatix2.. i don't want to go installing everything under the sun. just the common stuff... like i know i need the w32codes and libdvdcss(sp?)
[12:12] <kitche> Pawba: well radeon is reverse engineered ATI driver
[12:12] <swatF1RESTORM> Pawba: haha, I don't even know what 300mW means
[12:12] <rococo> Pawba: so you're probably still using an ATI driver, just not fglx
[12:12] <Yuno> i also am still having problems with my visiontek ati X1300
[12:13] <SteveWrightNZ> how to reconfigure sound ?  I changed to a different soundcard chipset
[12:13] <Pawba> rococo: Yea, so how do I get rid of that?
[12:13] <BrightEyes`> hello
[12:13] <Pawba> I know I've had this same machine up and running with SGI as both identifiers...  (recently put in a new harddrive)
[12:13] <Jowen> h3xis, " Wlan0: Error while getting interface glags: No such divice."
[12:14] <rococo> Pawba: look in xorg.conf. Under one of the "section DEVICE" parts if should list the name of your cadr (or some identifier for the card) and the driver in use
[12:14] <BrightEyes`> i want to enter a command in /etc/init.d/ so it will execute every time i start my system
[12:14] <BrightEyes`> that command is => su jive -c '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/bin/java -DopenfireHome=/opt/openfire -Dopenfire.lib.dir=/opt/openfire/lib -jar /opt/openfire/lib/startup.jar'
[12:14] <rococo> rococo: you can also select another driver, but if you pick one that doesn't work with your card then X won't start next time
[12:14] <BrightEyes`> and it asks for a password? how this can be done?
[12:14] <Pawba> rococo: "radeon"
[12:14] <h3xis> Jowen im sorry i meant eth1. sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[12:14] <rococo> er, Pawba see my above post that I actually sent to myself
[12:14] <sunnypies> anybody know how I install mplayer inside of Firefox as a plugin if I have firefox already installed?
[12:14] <Yuno> i hate x*** ati cards :P
[12:15] <Pawba> Yuno: Amen.  It's a bit hard to change cards out of a laptop, though.
[12:15] <nexous> Can I remove icons from the title bar of applications?
[12:15] <gavintlgold> Hello... i have a nice shiny new 250GB SATA hard drive, and I would like to replace it with my ancient 5 GB slow hda1. What is the best way to go about this? Also, if I use Partimage won't it still be a tiny partition that I would be dealing with after everything is said and done? Thanks in advance
[12:15] <rococo> Pawba: right, so that's why it still says ATI. If you want, you can probably change the driver to "vesa" and still have it work (that one works with most cards), but I'd back up xorg.conf just in case first
[12:15] <swatF1RESTORM> !w32codecs > swatF1RESTORM
[12:15] <Trynemjoel> How do i reactivate a now disabled plugin for Beryl. i.e Window Picker. It got deactivated for some reason a few updates back by Beryl.
[12:15] <Yuno> i need to setup my ATI since my onboard sucks
[12:15] <rococo> Pawba: then again, "vendor" usually applies to the CARD, so as long as you're using that card it may be impossible to make it stop saying that
[12:15] <sunnypies> anyone know how I install mplayer as a plugin for firefox?
[12:15] <Pawba> hm
[12:16] <tri3axe> sudo: /var/run/sudo owned by uid 1000, should be uid 0   guess i have done a jumbo error somwhere.. trying to take ownership of /var/www so i can set correct permissions
[12:16] <Pawba> Maybe I'm confused, but this thing ran Feisty with Compiz a few weeks ago...
[12:16] <Pawba> Clean install, and I'm stuck. :\
[12:16] <linxeh> sunnypies: sudo apt-get install mplayer-mozilla or something
[12:16] <Pawba> No DRI, no acceleration.
[12:16] <gavintlgold> sunnypies: go to add-remove and install mplayer plugin for firefox
[12:16] <linxeh> sunnypies: apt-cache search mplayer    should tell you
[12:16] <BrightEyes`> i want to enter a command in /etc/init.d/ so it will execute every time i start my system. that command is => su jive -c '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/bin/java -DopenfireHome=/opt/openfire -Dopenfire.lib.dir=/opt/openfire/lib -jar /opt/openfire/lib/startup.jar' and it asks for a password? how this can be done?
[12:16] <Jowen> h3xix, "no such file or directory". :-(
[12:16] <gavintlgold> easy search sunnypies
[12:16] <sunnypies> k thanks
[12:16] <linxeh> unfortunately my mplayer plugin no longer works for mp3 links
[12:16] <linxeh> :(
[12:17] <h3xis> Jowen hm....
[12:17] <NobleCommerce> HOORAY for ubuntu focusing on Elisa Media Center!
[12:17] <h3xis> Jowen you typed sudo ifconfig eth1 up exactly right?
[12:17] <rococo> Pawba: well, if you want compiz/beryl to work, you're going to need fglrx
[12:17] <linxuz3r> anyone wanna help me how to get vmware installed?
[12:17] <gavintlgold> CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH INSTALLING A HARD DRIVE SO THAT IT HAS MY ENTIRE FILESYSTEM ON IT? SORRY, BUT NO ONE HAS REPLIED....
[12:18] <Pawba> rococo: Compiz works without fglrx.  ATI doesn't even support the Xpress 200M, so fglrx is of less use than badly documented reverse engineered stuff. :P
[12:18] <linxuz3r> anyone?
[12:18] <rococo> Pawba: what you need to do is both install it and either select it in the "restricted hardware" section or put in "fglrx" in xorg.conf
[12:18] <kraDPAU> anyone can help me about Ubuntu Live CD?
[12:18] <Trynemjoel> Would you like help by someone who doesn't have a clue of how to  help you gavintlgold ?
[12:18] <Pawba> hm
[12:18] <rococo> Pawba: it occasionally works. if you want a best-bet driver to use, and "radeon" doesn't work, try vesa.
[12:18] <Pawba> gavintlgold: Go to the store and ask the clerk for "Norton Ghost"
[12:18] <Jowen> h3xix, let me try again...
[12:19] <babo_> can we do the ubuntu community a HUGE favour and ditch the debian-esque apache install ?
[12:19] <gavintlgold> pawba ... I don't have windows, and I don't want to have to buy anything.... do you need windows?
[12:19] <Znuff> babo_, erm, why?
[12:19] <babo_> Znuff: erm, cause it sucks tornados ...
[12:19] <Pawba> gavintlgold: Sure, I need windows.  But Norton Ghost functions independant of OS.
[12:19] <Znuff> babo_, actually it's 10x better than any install
[12:19] <kitche> gavintlgold: Norton Ghost has a Linux version
[12:20] <aeiko_> Ubuntu > Windows :)
[12:20] <Znuff> babo_, what don't you like about it?
[12:20] <babo_> Znuff: actually it's not. It's 10 times worse ...
[12:20] <kitche> gavintlgold: or you can use partimage if you wish
[12:20] <Pawba> gavintlgold: Your other option is to go google for "G4U" and set up an ftp server.
[12:20] <Pawba> kitche: Vesa doesn't work. :P
[12:20] <babo_> Znuff: why does it have files like conf.d which are denoted as 'empty file' in the README ... ?
[12:20] <kraDPAU> Anyone can tell me if "ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso" runs like LIVE CD?
[12:21] <gavintlgold> kitche: does partimage make it so that my partition is still the same size (i.e. my filesystem is only 5 gigabytes in my case?)
[12:21] <babo_> why do I need to have symlinks from some files to other files, which then have includes to the original files ?
[12:21] <Jowen> h3xis, after I typed, "sudo, ifconfig eth1 up", I got this response, "No such file or directory".
[12:21] <Pawba> kraDPAU: Yes.
[12:21] <Znuff> babo_, erm, conf.d is a directory and it's not empty
[12:21] <kraDPAU> Thanks!
[12:21] <rococo> gavintlgold: the only direct way to completely put a copy of an existing filesystem on a separate HD is by creating a filesytem image, and as Pawba said, Ghost is the best way
[12:21] <h3xis> Jowen there's no comma after sudo
[12:21] <Znuff> babo_, and symlinks are much better for better administration
[12:21] <kitche> gavintlgold: yeah it makes a tarball of your exact system
[12:21] <aeiko_> I have a problem with my modem. It detects okay, but when I try to dial out I get the following error: period size 48 is not supported by playback . Any idea how to fix this?
[12:21] <babo_> Znuff: if it isn't conf.d then it's another one ...
[12:21] <Jowen> yes, I did not type in the ","
[12:21] <Trynemjoel> How do i reactivate a now disabled plugin for Beryl. i.e Window Picker. It got deactivated for some reason a few updates back by Beryl.
[12:21] <Znuff> babo_, httpd.conf ?
[12:21] <babo_> conf.d then is the one that's labelled 'good place to store configuration settings' ?
[12:22] <tri3axe> sudo: /var/run/sudo owned by uid 1000, should be uid 0   guess i have done a jumbo error somwhere.. trying to take ownership of /var/www so i can set correct permissions
[12:22] <h3xis> Jowen try sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth1 up
[12:22] <gavintlgold> kitche: hmm... so i wouldn't be able to expand the partition later or anything?
[12:22] <Pawba> sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:22] <Pawba> asdlfj
[12:22] <Pawba> wrong keyboard.
[12:22] <Znuff> babo_, conf.d is good to store application settings
[12:22] <tri3axe> how can i "unmake" it
[12:22] <rococo> Pawba: right-click the beryl-manager icon and choose 'beryl settings manager'. Browse to the plugin, and check the box next to the name
[12:22] <Znuff> babo_, like, for instance, installing phpldapadmin
[12:22] <babo_> Znuff: i've removed it from my system and i'm compiling from source. I don't have the README to hand ...
[12:22] <Jowen> h3xis, ok, hang on..
[12:22] <rococo> Pawba: sorry, I started one message to one person and finished to anotehr - logn day at work
[12:22] <Pawba> Same here.
[12:23] <fester225> How do I make changes to a root file?
[12:23] <Pawba> I'm just happy I'm mostly getting the keyboards straight.
[12:23] <Znuff> babo_, and, like it says, httpd.conf is there for legacy modules
[12:23] <Pawba> fester225: sudo?
[12:23] <kitche> fester225: sudo gedit if it's a text file
[12:23] <Znuff> babo_, it's the best configuration that can suit everyone's needs
[12:23] <rococo> Yeah, I just failed spectacularly on that front
[12:23] <sldkfj> Trynemjoel, I don't knwo Window Picker
[12:23] <babo_> Znuff: it makes things overly complicated. There's no way that a distro should inflict it's own idea of what apache is about on people ...
[12:23] <sldkfj> Trynemjoel, there's Window Previews
[12:24] <Znuff> babo_, it's rather easy.
[12:24] <babo_> If every distro did that for every program then there'd be chaos. If you'd like to have symlinks and include files in your setup then it's up to you. But at the very least it should be optional ..
[12:24] <nsleiman> hi all, i'm an ubuntu user in Lebanon
[12:24] <sldkfj> nsleiman, welcome
[12:24] <rococo> babo_: it isn't all that different, though, just a couple of configuration files are split apart in different places
[12:24] <Jowen> h3xis, I got the following response, "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory".
[12:25] <Znuff> babo_, think about it. When, for instance, you install php4/5, dpkg doesn't have to modify apache.conf (wich you probably customised the way you want to), but it's simple to just add a new file
[12:25] <fester225> When I run sudo gedit I get, "cannot open display". I know I have both sudo and gedit.
[12:25] <Pawba> ugh
[12:25] <Pawba> Now I seem to have lost DRI again...
[12:25] <j1tters> sudo -s is what i use.
[12:25] <babo_> rococo: right. why have on config file when you can have 9 ? no, that doesn't make things complicated at all ... <sarcasm>
[12:25] <kitche> fester225: try gksu gedit
[12:25] <babo_> one
[12:25] <Pawba> fester225: sudo is a console app, gedit is not.
[12:25] <Pawba> To text edit in console, use "sudo pico" or "sudo vi" etc...
[12:26] <rococo> babo_: well, the benefit to it is that you can easily install mods into apache from apt (such as mod_perl), whereas the downside is you have to look in two files instead of one. But you'd be looking less often. I say "worth it."
[12:26] <alvins> hello
[12:26] <h3xis> Jowen i'm running out of ideas :p the only thing i know to do is to install the drivers yourself. check this thread out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190177
[12:26] <linxuz3r> anyone wanna help me install vmware?
[12:26] <Pawba> Jowen: Are you trying to get a wireless card working?
[12:26] <linxuz3r> !vmware
[12:26] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[12:26] <babo_> Znuff: there is no way that every distro should have it's own setup for each of it's programs. Don't the debian crowd have better things to do ?
[12:26] <Jowen> OK, h3xis, ok, I'll take a look at it. Thanks very much for your time.
[12:26] <linxuz3r> !linux-headers
[12:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linux-headers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:26] <Znuff> babo_, you can always use fedora.
[12:26] <Jowen> Pawba, yes.
[12:26] <Znuff> babo_, if you don't like the way debian handles configuration
[12:27] <h3xis> Jowen ive always had trouble with the bcm4318 chipset
[12:27] <fester225> When I run gksu gedit from a terminal window I still get "cannot open display".
[12:27] <Pawba> Jowen: What brand?
[12:27] <babo_> rococo: I say, I can install my own mods. RH doesn't seem to have any issues with it ... Not worth it.
[12:27] <Rex> hi everyone. Does anyone know how I can make icons on the desktop smaller without having to stretch them all one at a time?

[12:27] <Jowen> Pawba, it is an AMD, Sempron
[12:27] <h3xis> Pawba bcm4318
[12:27] <j1tters> is there a way to convert from ntfs to ext3 without losing data. or am i just looking at moving a lot of data around?
[12:27] <michup> is ubuntu support some program to convert pdf files to plain text and some programs to convert plain text to audio stream?
[12:27] <babo_> Znuff: right. but I use Ubuntu as my desktop. I only use the server occasionally. I use RH for a production server, for this reason and others ..
[12:27] <rococo> babo_: okay, but if you install apache from source, make sure you install everything you use with it from source as well
[12:28] <Pawba> Jowen: I meant the card.. :P  BroadCom?  Good luck. :)
[12:28] <h3xis> j1tters gonna have to move a lot of data around :)
[12:28] <rococo> babo_: it won't necessarily cause problems if you don't, but it can
[12:28] <Jowen>  Pawba, bcm4318
[12:28] <j1tters> thats what i thought. hm. thats a problem.
[12:28] <Chicory> !w64codecs
[12:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about w64codecs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[12:28] <emet> hi
[12:28] <Chicory> Er, question?
[12:28] <Chicory> What purpose does w64codecs serve if I have all of my gstreamer plugins installed?
[12:28] <kitche> Chicory: no such package as w64codecs only w32codecs
[12:29] <Chicory> Oh?
[12:29] <linxuz3r> back to reality
[12:29] <linxuz3r> later
[12:29] <Chicory> That's strange, because I have it installed.
[12:29] <rococo> babo_: also, I don't think RH has near the number of apache extensions that Debian does in its package manager
[12:29] <Rex> Jowen... I have a ton of experience with 4318. what you looking to do.
[12:29] <Znuff> there are no 64bit codecs for windows
[12:29] <vanberge> would anybody be able to help me with some html?  :-(  or better yet tell me a good place to get some help with some css/html?
[12:29] <Znuff> vanberge, #html / #css
[12:29] <babo_> rococo: so it's a package manager issue then ?
[12:29] <h3xis> Jowen ive got to go, but see if Rex can help you. sorry i couldnt be of much help :/
[12:29] <Jowen> Rex: Just get my wireless working on my compaq.
[12:30] <Chicory> In fact, I get some output from "sudo aptitude show w64codecs".
[12:30] <Chicory> This package contains the "Win32" codec binaries for the x86_64 architectures,
[12:30] <Chicory>  required for the decompression of video formats that have no open source
[12:30] <Chicory>  alternative.
[12:30] <rococo> vanberge: w3schools.com has a ton of documentation and tutorials on web stuff, more than just HTML too
[12:30] <Jowen> thanks a bunch for your time h3xix.
[12:30] <Rex> Jowen: 4318 is tricky. What ver of ubuntu you using?
[12:30] <__mikem> !mp3
[12:30] <Laney> np: Aphex Twin - Shiny Metal Rods
[12:30] <Pawba> What's the channel for Ubuntu Beryl?
[12:30] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats

[12:30] <Znuff> Pawba, #ubuntu-effects
[12:30] <h3xis> Laney, lovely :D
[12:30] <gavintlgold> OK... I think I have a solution .... I could use the "dd" terminal command, then use resize2fs ... do you think this would work anyone?
[12:30] <Chicory> But, uh, if I have all of these gstreamer (ffmpeg, etc) plugins installed, what use is w32codecs/w64codecs?
[12:30] <trpr_> whats the command to translate a time given in seconds to the date? is that the date command?
[12:31] <vanberge> rococo, i am kind of past the point of tuts.  i have a really specific question
[12:31] <Znuff> Jowen, Feisty Fawn :)
[12:31] <vanberge> rococo,  tyvm  though
[12:31] <Jowen> Znuff, ya. :-)
[12:31] <alvins> j
[12:31] <Rex> Jowen. I have spent alot of time trying to get it to work with native drivers. It never did. 4318 is reported as unstable. ndiswrapper is your best bet. you connecting to a managed or ad-hoc?
[12:31] <gavintlgold> kitche or rococo: could i use dd and then resize2fs ?
[12:32] <rococo> babo_: yeah. basically, splitting the conf files into those directories allows APT to put its extensions into apache without fuss. mods-available has the mods, mods-enabled has symlinks to those in mods-available, and they can (for the most part) just toss files around to install them and other things
[12:32] <gavintlgold> kitche, rococo: http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/resize2fs8.html (resize2fs)
[12:33] <Jowen> Rex, not at the moment. I have my laptop beside my desktop at the moment. I could cut and past your instructions and save them however, so shoot.
[12:33] <kitche> gavintlgold: not a clue I just dd if I haev to but I barely touch dd anymore unless I m looking for recovering some file or something

[12:33] <tri3axe> sudo: /var/run/sudo owned by uid 1000, should be uid 0    how do i fixs this?? i did sudo chown -R <user> /var/www/
[12:33] <BelaBartok> what is the executable for VirtualBox please?
[12:33] <gavintlgold> kitche: see, my problem is my space is running out on my old hd, so i need a larger partition
[12:33] <Rex> Jowen: there is a script that will configure the whole ndis setup for you. just make sure that you have ndis and ndis-common installed. I will give you the link. For this to work, you will absolutely have to blacklist the native driver. (bcm43xx).
[12:34] <BelaBartok> didnt appear in the appmenu after install
[12:34] <rococo> gavintlgold: to install a filesystem onto an HD? I think resize2fs is if you want to resize a partition without hurting its filesystem
[12:34] <Pawba> gavintlgold: Get norton or g4u.  If you simply dd across partitions, you won't like the result.
[12:34] <h4wk0> How do i show .folders in Gnome File Browser
[12:34] <Jowen> Rex, lead on...
[12:34] <carloz> Any idea on how to upgrade kubuntu breezy to xubuntu feisty ?
[12:34] <gavintlgold> rococo: I want to duplicate my filesystem onto a new computer, then resize a partition, because i don't have space
[12:34] <gavintlgold> rococo: sorry, not computer, hd i meant
[12:35] <albert_> http://vleu.net/shake/ hi, is there sth similar available in the ubuntu repos. ?
[12:35] <linxeh> carloz: upgrade to feisty, then install xubuntu-desktop
[12:35] <kitche> gavintlgold: sudo apt-get install partimage and run it it does what you want pretty much
[12:35] <rococo> babo_: sites-available contains a lot of the stuff normally in the regular apache conf file, but lets you have a bunch for different sites, and then you can "activate" them by putting symlinks into sites-available
[12:35] <gavintlgold> kitche: but will it be able to resize the partition?
[12:35] <Rex> Jowen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo?highlight=%28%28WifiDocs%7CWirelessTroubleShootingGuide%29%29
[12:35] <rococo> babo_: this allows for APT installation of webapps
[12:36] <kitche> gavintlgold: you will have to use the resize2fs command to do it
[12:36] <gavintlgold> kitche: and that works? have you used it?
[12:36] <kbj> Anyone had any very serious problems with the LAN wired netowrk speed in feisty please let me know I need to find a solution for my problem
[12:36] <BrightEyes`> i want to enter a command in /etc/init.d/openfire.sh file so it will execute every time i start my system. that command is => su jive -c '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/bin/java -DopenfireHome=/opt/openfire -Dopenfire.lib.dir=/opt/openfire/lib -jar /opt/openfire/lib/startup.jar' and it asks for a password? how this can be done?
[12:36] <kitche> gavintlgold: partimage worsk thats what I use it works on linux great
[12:36] <linxeh> kbw
[12:36] <linxeh> kbj: what problem ?
[12:37] <gavintlgold> kitche: i mean does resize2fs work
[12:37] <kbj> linxeh: I have very slow network performance, both via smb and via ftp to my other computers, and its in a clean newly installed feisty
[12:37] <Znuff> bye everybody
[12:37] <j1tters> anyone really familar with using hdparm?
[12:37] <tri3axe> sudo: /var/run/sudo owned by uid 1000, should be uid 0    how do i fixs this?? i did sudo chown -R <user> /var/www/
[12:37] <gavintlgold> oh, and now after sudo apt-get install partimage: The resize2fs program will resize ext2 file systems.  (kitche)
[12:37] <gavintlgold> sorry
[12:37] <linxeh> kbj: in what way is it slow ?
[12:37] <gavintlgold> kitche: it gave me a gcc error i mean
[12:38] <gavintlgold> This version has been compiled with an uncompatible version of gcc.
[12:38] <rococo> BrightEyes`: I don't understand what you want. do you want it to not ask for a password?
[12:38] <Rex> Jowen: this link contains the download link for a script that was written to get the job done. I would recommend wifi-radar to connect if you are connecting ad-hoc. You should be fine with network manager if you are connecting to a router or other DHCP server. Your mileage may vary. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102
[12:38] <gavintlgold> sometimes i hate amd64
[12:38] <Fragg> hello, can someone help me with my dell 1390 wireless... it show up but I can't get on the internet
[12:38] <kbj> linxeh: transfer speeds are about 900k/sec from computer to computer on a wired 1gbit network. When I used edgy a few hours ago it was +50mb/sec
[12:38] <gavintlgold> this is a nightmare... at least my hard drive isn't dying yet...
[12:38] <BrightEyes`> rococo : i want init.d to execute a command as user jive
[12:39] <BrightEyes`> rococo the command above!
[12:39] <Jowen> REX, thanks
[12:39] <Rex> Fragg: look here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo?highlight=%28%28WifiDocs%7CWirelessTroubleShootingGuide%29%29 You should be able to find answers in the troubleshooting page.
[12:39] <Rex> Jowen: any time.
[12:39] <kludge> hi i want to reset my gnome terminal settings..
[12:39] <linxeh> kbj: I guess you might need to force it to use 1gbit on your network, maybe the driver behaviour changed or something
[12:39] <carloz> but how to upgrade to feisty from kubuntu breezy ?
[12:39] <Carrrl> Fragg: you might need to use the diagnose.  It helps determine what the problem is.
[12:39] <kludge> to default.. the main font seems to have disappeared in my terminal..
[12:39] <slicknick> what do yall recommend for a userfriendly nice implementation for a wiki site?
[12:40] <Rex> ok... now my question... anyone know how to make the icons on the desktop smaller?
[12:40] <Fragg> ok what do I need to do
[12:40] <kbj> linxeh: Yes it says link speed is undertermined in network tools. how do I force that?
[12:41] <kbj> linxeh: I can only guess its a driver problem for my network under feisty what else could it be, I didnt change anything other then reinstalling feisty
[12:41] <linxeh> kbj: it might be a kernel module thing, so it would depend on the card. probably something in /etc/modules.conf but not sure, or maybe in the network config thing in the settings menu
[12:41] <azamat> Fragg, or try this one, it's a step-by-step guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)
[12:41] <Carrrl> Rex: right click on the desktop, click properties.  click on appearance, then click advanced.  on the drop down menu, you'll see "icons".
[12:42] <rococo> BrightEyes`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid
[12:42] <Rex> Carrrl: no properties in the flyout for desktop
[12:42] <Rex> :(

[12:43] <tbuss> I have a canon i950 printer, drivers are not avail for this printer. Are there any options other than turboPrint which is not free

[12:43] <SpeakerMania> I have a question: how do I make GRUB display a list to boot into Windows or Ubuntu?
[12:43] <kbj> linxeh: Its just a normal onboard network card, nothing fancy but it worked before and should again :D what can I change in the network config? I dont know much about ubuntu :(
[12:43] <Carrrl> Rex: oh.. lol i knew that :\
[12:43] <arbir> hello
[12:44] <gavintlgold> OK..... can someone help me with using dd (partimage doesn't work on amd64) :(
[12:44] <linxeh> kbj: I'd have to search the wiki and forums to get any further, and since I dont know your hardware it would be better if you did that
[12:44] <arbir> I was forced a disk check and now my password won't work. keeps saying authentication failed.

[12:46] <arbir> hi ubotu
[12:46] <BrightEyes`> i want to enter a command in /etc/init.d/openfire.sh file so it will execute every time i start my system. that command is => su jive -c '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/bin/java -DopenfireHome=/opt/openfire -Dopenfire.lib.dir=/opt/openfire/lib -jar /opt/openfire/lib/startup.jar' and it asks for a password. how this can be done?
[12:46] <gavintlgold> arbir: i did twice, but no one knows
[12:46] <gavintlgold> alas..
[12:46] <arbir> gavintlgold: ask again
[12:47] <arbir> I was forced a disk check and now my password won't work. keeps saying authentication failed. @ ubotu
[12:47] <rococo> BrightEyes`: like I said, look up setuid - this should accomplish what you need
[12:47] <rococo> BrightEyes`: one sec, I think I know a good guide on it..
[12:47] <tbuss> I have a printer question, I kind of need to print things, but it seems as though my printer is not supported, how limited are my options?

[12:49] <arbir> gavintlgold: I would suggest.. you install your distro on the new hard disk
[12:49] <azamat> rococo, just tell him which file to do chmod +s on, cause i don't know :p
[12:49] <arbir> then copy the data over
[12:49] <arbir> to the new hard disk from the old hard disk @ gavintlgold

[12:51] <blandest> how can I solve this without removing the package ?
[12:51] <EvilUFO> does resizing ntfs drives delete what's on the ntfs partition?
[12:51] <PiNE> tbuss, i tried kino but it tries to save it for a while then tells me there is an problem with the audio, but i don't know what it would be.

[12:52] <zigico> BrightEyes: i use partition magic and nothing whit that software
[12:53] <PiNE> tbuss, cheers!
[12:53] <azamat> gavintlgold, couldn't you just burn that onto one (two) DVDs? chances are that you'll need an entirely new filesystem for that 250gb disk anyway, iirc
[12:53] <Dekkard> anahata:  ther is server with no gui.. or xubuntu
[12:53] <seedofc> anahata, then don't use kde or gnome..
[12:53] <rococo> BrightEyes`: here's more info on SUID and permissions in general http://wpollock.com/AUnix1/FilePermissions.htm
[12:53] <anahata> oops my question isn't for this room, i need a generaal linux room i think, b/c my system is too old to use gnome/kde
[12:53] <Dekkard> anahata:  how old
[12:53] <kitche> anahata: what is the specs
[12:53] <gavintlgold> azamat: uh... i can't burn dvds :(
[12:53] <seedofc> anahata: download the server version
[12:53] <anahata> it runs very slowly off the livecd... it's 8 yrs old
[12:53] <anahata> server?
[12:53] <gavintlgold> azamat: and how would that help?
[12:54] <anahata> hold on
[12:54] <azamat> gavintlgold, and you can't ssh and scp onto another spare computer?
[12:54] <tbuss> PiNE: I know you want a avi file, that thread describes how to export to an mpeg1 or mpeg2 but all is possible
[12:54] <ninina> anyone know how to make boarderless terminals?
[12:54] <Dekkard> server install = no gui
[12:54] <Grummus> zigico, try the gparted-livecd it's small and gets the job done, reliable
[12:54] <anahata> problem is... i want to see sanskrit fonts in firefox, and i think i need kde/gnome to do that
[12:54] <BrightEyes`> rococo : i know..isnt any other way to do it?
[12:54] <gavintlgold> azamat: this is the only linux computer (and my other computers have no space :P)
[12:54] <anahata> i'm not sure now
[12:54] <Dekkard> but you can do a basic install and just use fluxbox or anyother lightweight window manager
[12:54] <gavintlgold> azamat: how would that help though....
[12:54] <seedofc> anahata: you can use a lightweight window manager like fluxbox
[12:54] <Grummus> zigico, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[12:54] <azamat> gavintlgold, at any rate, i think what you're looking for is dd instead of cp
[12:55] <madmike> ninina, what does "boarderless" mean?
[12:55] <Trynemjoel> How do i reactivate a deactivated plug-in in Beryl, i.e Window Picker, that was deactivated after a Beryl Patch some time ago. Tryed to find it in the Beryl Setting Manager, but i can't seem to find it. It does list in the Screen Edge Shortcut Options when i check off to list disabled Plugins
[12:55] <PiNE> tbuss, mpeg, avi or ogg would all be fine!
[12:55] <gavintlgold> azamat: yes i thought so, but what about resize2fs .... do you know about that?
[12:55] <anahata> seedofc: but i don't know if i can run firefox on that and make sanskrit work on it
[12:55] <BrightEyes`> rococo i dont know what to do with setuid...nothing at all
[12:55] <gavintlgold> azamat: to get a larger partition

[12:55] <SteveWrightNZ> I moved a hdd from one laptop to another, and now no sound.. how to reconfigure sound ?
[12:55] <ninina> madmike: meaning that there is no window frame on it

[12:56] <gavintlgold> :P
[12:56] <azamat> hm that's tricky..
[12:56] <madmike> ninina, do you mean a terminal with only a text-command-line running?
[12:56] <anahata> do i need the firefox forums now?
[12:56] <anahata> can you run firefox in fluxbox?
[12:57] <redbox> anahata: of course
[12:57] <SlimeyPete> anahata: yes, you can run anything you like in fluxbox.
[12:57] <anahata> and can you make pango work in that?
[12:57] <seedofc> anahata: give it a shot
[12:57] <anahata> oh
[12:57] <rococo> BrightEyes`: check the pm
[12:57] <ninina> madmike: kinda a fluxbox style...as seen in this screen: http://fluxbox.org/zoom.php?shots-dev/aleczapka_fluxbox3.jpg
[12:57] <SlimeyPete> it's just a window manager - it doesn't affect which programs you can run
[12:57] <sybil> how do i share my ubuntu hard drives with my xp boxes without passwords?
[12:57] <sybil> xp see ubuntu but ask for password
[12:57] <tbuss> I have a printer that I would like to use with ubuntu, it so happens that it doesn't have any supported drivers. Is it possible to still use this printer or should I invest stock into Kinkos?
[12:58] <Fragg> How can I change my wireless card from eth1 wlan0\
[12:58] <Metal03> Hey there, I used to be able to do ctrl-alt-delete in Linux to bring some kind of task manager...  I can'T anymore...  how can I fix that?
[12:58] <SlimeyPete> sybil: open shares are a *very* bad idea. Many viruses can infect files over shares.
[12:58] <peepsalot> what shell command can i use to see the number of files in a directory (ignoring subdirs)
[12:58] <azamat> strangely, on my laptop, firefox won't run in fluxbox (although opera etc will). anyone have an idea why that could be? the ff process doesn't even start :/
[12:58] <anahata> i don't want to install linux and then find out i can view sanskrit
[12:58] <SteveWrightNZ> Fragg: you can rename it in the conf file, or on the command line.. google will show u the syntax
[12:58] <benzs_s> noob question alert: how do i make a program start automatically in statup
[12:58] <madmike> ninina, no idea how exaclty he did that. there are many terminal programms out there... i'd try and install a few... maybe google... or ask some more on irc ;)
[12:59] <gavintlgold> dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda & pid=$! & kill -USR1 $pid; sleep 99 ... would that work azamat?
[12:59] <SteveWrightNZ> benzs_s: look in your GUI session config
[12:59] <imbecile> hey guys, what do i use to change an icon theme? thanks in advance
[12:59] <Fragg> hmmm, I am having so much trouble with this wireless card and it is so simple to do
[12:59] <peepsalot> benzs_s, in your settings menu, there is something called Sessions, add your program to that
[12:59] <Fragg> argggg
[12:59] <ninina> madmike: he did that with fluxbox =\  but I was hoping gnome could handle it
[12:59] <benzs_s> thanks guys :)
[12:59] <tbuss> imbecile: gnome-look
[12:59] <anahata> i'm reading about it on wiki
[12:59] <albertmk> Can anyone tell me the difference between "apt-get install" and "apt-get buid-dep" ?
[12:59] <SteveWrightNZ> frag ask in #wireless
[12:59] <BrightEyes`> rococo : /etc/init.d => anything in that directory isnt executed as root??? so if i make a script(openfire.sh) with the command and chmod 755 openfire.sh wouldnt that work?
[01:00] <chris13221> go to system preferences then sessions and startup programs, click new, and then put in a name for the program and then the command
[01:00] <madmike> ninina, i think gnome could at least theoretically do that
[01:00] <kitche> albertmk: apt-get installs a program build-dep installs the dependencies for the program if soemthing is messedup
[01:00] <j1tters> running a dual mon setup with an nvidia 6200.  using twinview. is there a way to tell it to start programs on the left window instead of the right? its little but its annoying.
[01:00] <imbecile> tbuss:  I have several icon pasks.. do I manually set each icon to the program?
[01:00] <Metal03> Can anyone tell me how to set the ctrl-alt-delete fonction
[01:00] <rococo> BrightEyes`: I wouldn't recommend 755, because that way ANYONE could execute
[01:00] <albertmk> kitche: thanks a lot.
[01:01] <rococo> BrightEyes`: I'd recommend 753 if you want it readable by anyway, but better would be 750
[01:01] <anahata> thanks
[01:01] <azamat> gavintlgold, not sure, give it a try, though ... you can't really damage anything, i guess. was that vague enough? ;)
[01:01] <bknitram> After installation off the install CD, will it be ready to use after a reboot, or will it install a base where I still need to get most things?
[01:01] <iratsu_> hello; I'm getting some weird behaviour from a computer; I can ssh out to a server through its IP, but not through its domain name. But nslookup works
[01:02] <tbuss> imbecile: if you have them installed you can select which one you want to use, if not just drag the tar folder into the icon window, should install after that
[01:02] <ice9> having issues with installing nvidia drivers for my 6600 gt
[01:02] <ice9> I used envy but now x won't start
[01:02] <j1tters> ice9 what ver of ubuntu you running?
[01:02] <ice9> I used nvidia bin they work really well
[01:02] <kitche> iratsu_: that's not weird maybe the dns is not rotated all the way though yet
[01:02] <ice9> feisty
[01:02] <kludge> hi how do i change my ubuntu launch screen please?! are there alternate ubuntu launch screens?
[01:02] <kitche> !usplash | kludge
[01:02] <Apex> Does anyone know why I wouldn't' be able to send multiple email file attachments via evolution and thunderbird?
[01:02] <kludge> thanks kitche :)
[01:02] <ubotu> kludge: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[01:02] <ice9> but I can't switch between kde and gnome
[01:02] <j1tters> here
[01:03] <imbecile> tbuss:  sorry for the stupid question but where is the icon window?
[01:03] <albertmk> kitche: one more question: after apt-get install I should apt-get build the package?
[01:03] <ice9> but kdm is working
[01:03] <iratsu_> kitche: hmm i'm pretty sure that's not it
[01:03] <madmike> !usplash | madmike
[01:03] <BrightEyes`> rococo it doesnt work!!
[01:03] <kitche> albertmk: nope apt-get install installs the package and it's deps
[01:03] <rococo> BrightEyes`: what's it saying?
[01:03] <albertmk> I see
[01:03] <ice9> using a ssh shell now using putty
[01:03] <gavintlgold> azamat: how would i mount the sata drive correctly? (now it's just attached, just out of the box, no linformatting yet
[01:03] <rococo> BrightEyes`: and what did you set as permissions?
[01:03] <gavintlgold> azamat: format/mount
[01:03] <j1tters> ice9 use this.
[01:03] <ice9> so I have no idea if I have a display or not
[01:03] <j1tters> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:03] <j1tters> best way. worked great for my 6200.
[01:04] <BrightEyes`> rococo : chmod 755 openfire.sh
[01:04] <tbuss> imbecile: system | preferences | theme | customize | icons
[01:04] <iratsu_> kitche: how can i check this?
[01:04] <j1tters> then from console use nvidia-settings to set it all up.
[01:04] <rococo> BrightEyes`: and? what did it say?
[01:04] <imbecile> tbuss:  thanks alot man, you rock!
[01:04] <BrightEyes`> su jive -c '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/bin/java -DopenfireHome=/opt/openfire -Dopenfire.lib.dir=/opt/openfire/lib -jar /opt/openfire/lib/startup.jar' => this command works fine..but it catches the terminal and i must keep it open.i cant use the "&" at the end...
[01:04] <tbuss> imbecile: np
[01:04] <BrightEyes`> rococo : it didnt start..
[01:04] <tbuss> okay, I really need to print, can someone help me
[01:05] <kitche> iratsu_: does nslookup point to the ip same ip sicne nslookup is just for the name servers and not the actually ip
[01:05] <OSTENICUS_> do you have CUPS installed
[01:05] <iratsu_> kitche: wha?
[01:05] <tbuss> printer does not have supported driver with cups
[01:05] <rococo> BrightEyes`: wait, is that the command that you put in the shell script?
[01:05] <cockroach> hi. i just upgraded a hp nx8220 notebook to 7.04 and now my wlan stopped working: regardless of the wlan-button's state, whenever i load the ipw2200 module i get "Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On: Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work." - what can i do about that?
[01:05] <madmike> BrightEyes`, did you try it with 'nohup' ?
[01:05] <OSTENICUS_> which printer
[01:06] <babo_> so if i want to get rid of my compiled version of apache, I'd just move the /usr/local/apache2 to the trash ?
[01:06] <rococo> BrightEyes`: was the "su" part actually in the shell script?
[01:06] <tbuss> canon 1950
[01:06] <Naveg> can someone help me out with enabling speedstep on a core duo?
[01:06] <tbuss> *i950
[01:06] <iratsu_> kitche: nslookup returns the correct IP
[01:06] <kitche> babo_: no you would make uninstall in the source directory I believe apache allows it
[01:06] <babo_> kitche: k thanks ...
[01:06] <Tpope_> can someone help me with an install question?
[01:06] <Naveg> when i type modprobe speedstep-centrino i get no such device
[01:06] <sybil> if i use samba to share over my network (my other xp boxes.) how can I see my shared files from xp without password?
[01:07] <j1tters> tpope ask.
[01:07] <BrightEyes`> rococo : ok listen. i su gave the root pass and then tried the command with the & at the end and it was ok!
[01:07] <Reivec> quick question.  Does the ubuntu installer from the liveCD do anything after it installed Grub?
[01:07] <Reivec> or is grub the last step.
[01:07] <kitche> iratsu_: then it should work theorically since my domain works for sshing in on my server
[01:07] <Tpope_> Downloaded the 700mb is from ubuntu.com and it seems to be just the live cd, not the installer. does this sound right?
[01:07] <azamat> gavintlgold, sorry i really couldn't say ... your hardware is off limits for me, financially :p
[01:07] <j1tters> live cd is the installer
[01:07] <preaction> Tpope_: the live CD is the installer
[01:08] <kitche> Tpope_: the livecd is the installer there is also an alternate cd you can use also
[01:08] <j1tters> you boot to the live cd and you can play around . there is an install icon. you install from within the live cd.
[01:08] <rococo> BrightEyes`: Did you do any of the preparatory work customary with putting things in init.d?
[01:08] <ror> liveCD IS the installer
[01:08] <tbuss> OSTENICUS_ did you catch that i950 not 1950
[01:08] <ror> click install on desktiop
[01:08] <Naveg> Question about enabling cpu scaling on a Core Duo. modprobe speedstep-centrino fails: no such device
[01:08] <Tpope_> How do I do that...Im runnning xchat right now from the live cd
[01:08] <gavintlgold> azamat: actually, it was only 69 dollars...
[01:08] <Chicory> Hey, is backports in amd64 a good idea?
[01:08] <OSTENICUS_> alright hold on tbuss
[01:08] <Tpope_> nevermind...found it
[01:08] <Tpope_> :)
[01:09] <madmike> Tpope_, ;)
[01:09] <gavintlgold> azamat: do you know how to format a standard drive? That's all I need to know, I can replace hda with sda
[01:09] <j1tters> has anyone here run the amd64 ver with a core 2 duo?
[01:09] <tbuss> np
[01:09] <rococo> BrightEyes`: init.d is only the directory for the scripts - the runlevel that starts up (2 in ubuntu, I think, by default) needs to know to then execute it
[01:09] <Tpope_> any tips to dual boot and avoid messing with windows?
[01:09] <OSTENICUS_> tbuss: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/art-imaging-linux/13196-printing-gimp-canon-i950-without-results.html
[01:09] <j1tters> it will most likely find you other install and give you that option from grub when you reboot
[01:09] <OSTENICUS_> there is a solution there
[01:09] <Mikelevel> Naveg~ try acpi-cpufreq
[01:09] <rococo> BrightEyes`: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28 - how to execute scripts on startup in Debian (also applies to ubuntu)
[01:10] <madmike> !dualboot | Tpope_
[01:10] <ubotu> Tpope_: Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[01:10] <Naveg> Mikelevel: command not found
[01:10] <j1tters> tpope just make sure you dont tell it to use the whole drive therefore wiping your old install out.
[01:10] <azamat> gavintlgold, with cfdisk or fdisk i guess ... i'm sure there's some flashy gui tool for ubuntu, though. haven't you got the ubuntu live dvd/cd? it should be on there
[01:10] <ice9> I have tried nvidia-settings but I have a JVC hdtv hooked up to my box via dvi/hdmi
[01:10] <Mikelevel> Naveg~ its a module
[01:10] <Jarrod> whats a kind of program that doesn't work in wine?
[01:10] <babo_> kitche: i've no uninstall in /usr/local/apache2
[01:10] <ice9> and I just can't get the right resolution to output
[01:10] <Tpope_> Thanks
[01:10] <gavintlgold> azamat: i don't think i have a livecd... i had the beta and I upgraded from edgy...................
[01:10] <j1tters> ice9 run nvidia-settings but make sure its finding your correct monitor.
[01:10] <Naveg> Mikelevel: ok, modprobe worked
[01:10] <kitche> babo_: is that where your source is also
[01:10] <babo_> I downloaded the latest binary ...
[01:10] <madmike> Tpope_, np
[01:10] <j1tters> np
[01:10] <ice9> even a hdtv
[01:10] <Naveg> Mikelevel: will that work with speedstep?
[01:11] <aoirthoir> Jarrod, getting programs to work in wine can be very difficult. Personally I've not had much luck with many of them, and when I do the graphics are not up to par.
[01:11] <kitche> babo_: the directory that you built your custom apache2
[01:11] <albertmk> What is the command to find a file in linux????
[01:11] <Reivec> does anyone know for sure if grub is the last step in the installer? grub failed on the install because of a mirrored "fakeraid" I am using. But if it the only thing missing I can probably get that on there manually and continue on.
[01:11] <demonspork> I can't get nvidia-settings to detect a second monitor to enable twinview
[01:11] <Reivec> what to confirm that would work before I spend time trying to do it
[01:11] <Mikelevel> Naveg~ yes , i  have a core2duo
[01:11] <scoobydoo28139> um instructions on changing default applications
[01:11] <warlock__> Can anyone tell me if its possible to run .pm files on a ubuntu server?
[01:11] <tbuss> OSTENICUS_: Japanese driver? I'll give it a shot, thanks
[01:11] <kitche> albertmk: locate <file> might have to updatedb first
[01:11] <aoirthoir> albertmk, find use find --help to get info or find / -iname filename to search the entire filesystem for a file regardless of case
[01:11] <madmike> albertmk, "Places" -> "find File"
[01:11] <Naveg> Mikelevel: ok, its showing 2 GHz right now and i'm not doing anything besides xchat/ff
[01:12] <j1tters> deanspork not at all? i just did it last night and it found it no prob.   is it hooked up?
[01:12] <Naveg> Mikelevel: on windows it stays at 1 with just that stuff open
[01:12] <Grummus> Jarrod, office 2007 for example, anything that relies on .net has a hard time in wine right now
[01:12] <matt_vu> forgot command to find version of ubuntu.
[01:12] <Wiseguy> hey guys, does anyone have, or know if a palm z22 will work in linux? im trying to look through google and not finding too much info
[01:12] <Jarrod> aoirthoir: thats too bad I may have to dual boot after all
[01:12] <GE> I'm having some issues with sound, I want to reset all sound settings back to the defaults, but I'm not sure which config file to delete.  I'm looking for the place alsa stores all the alsamixer data.
[01:12] <madmike> matt_vu, "uname -r"
[01:12] <madmike> matt_vu, ah now, that is the version of the kernel :-/
[01:13] <demonspork> jltters, spell my name please, and yes it is hooked up, it works in Windows just fine.  I am using an 8800GTS
[01:13] <aoirthoir> Jarrod, there are good sites that can teach you more. You might not have to dual boot. However since I found most of what I need in Gnu/Linux directly, I had no reason to use wine.
[01:13] <kitche> GE: it stores it in a database and it's in binary form
[01:13] <Mikelevel> Naveg~ use cpufreqd or powernowd to regulate that
[01:13] <kitche> GE: but alsactl is what your looking for by the way
[01:13] <scoobydoo28139> any one know how to install a tv card?
[01:13] <Eoghan> has someone come across this error when trying to run JACK? "cannot use real-time scheduling (FIFO at priority 10). . . .cannot create engine"?
[01:13] <matt_vu> madmike: lsb_version -a ?
[01:13] <loser453> what would i fill in for "<xdir> in the following:   X_VERSION=<xdir>
[01:13] <masterk> does anyone here have a thinkpad?
[01:13] <ice9> ok I can get 1280x720
[01:13] <azamat> gavintlgold, i suggest also getting knoppix once you come by a dsl connection. strangely enough, sometimes it picks up hardware that ubuntu doesn't
[01:13] <warlock__> Can anyone tell me if its possible to run .pm files on a ubuntu server?
[01:14] <masterk> I need linux help with my thinkpad
[01:14] <kitche> warlock__: aren't they just perl modules
[01:14] <ice9> but still gnome menus are getting cut off
[01:14] <rococo> Jarrod: there is something called mono being developed that runs .net apps, but right now it's very very difficult to get working with specific apps
[01:14] <rococo> Jarrod: still, in the future...
[01:14] <DanR> hey
[01:14] <noelferreira> if i am using vdr or playing a youtube movie over the internet i can't ear sound in xmms or other aplication. but if i stop vdr or firefox. i have sound in my system. how can i have it enabled in both sides?
[01:14] <kitche> gnome uses mono :) for it's desktop indexer
[01:14] <madmike> matt_vu, I cant tell, i don't have such a programm installed
[01:14] <azamat> azamat, are you detecting the drive at all? i just read that these things come with drivers of their own
[01:14] <francis> hola
[01:14] <ice9> how can I find out using putty if my display is up on my nix box ?
[01:14] <j1tters> demonspork so sorry about the spelling. not sure. i had no issues. i had a ton with getting the resolutions right. kept geting metamode erros. but works fine now.
 Im sure one day all app will run on linux seamlessly  :D
[01:14] <warlock__> kitche, well, I'm getting an error when trying to compiling something, could you please help me?
[01:15] <gavintlgold> azamat: i have a dsl, just 30kbps
[01:15] <Naveg> Mikelevel: awesome, its working, thanks a lot
[01:15] <rococo> warlock__: best way to integrate perl with apache is by using the "mod-perl" or "fastcgi" module. Also, look into Mason http://www.masonhq.com
[01:15] <gavintlgold> azamat: and I don't have a hardware problem....
[01:15] <warlock__> Not intergrating perl with apache
[01:15] <DanR> im having majour issues with ubuntu permissions with writing to every folder except in the /home directory
[01:15] <kitche> rococo: umm .pm has nothing to do with apache it's for perl itself
[01:15] <GE> kitche: Ok, basically xine crashed on me, so now the spidf out on my sound card doesn't work, except for spdif content (dolby encoded)..in the past (gentoo) I just removed a config file and alsa reconfigured everything and that fixed it, will alsactl do that?  I want ubuntu just to reconfigure it
[01:15] <madmike> !sound | DanR
[01:15] <rococo> kitche, warlock__: sorry, must be losing my mind, I thought you asked about doing it with an apache server
[01:15] <ubotu> DanR: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:16] <marshall> many of my applications crash with this error: *** glibc detected *** <name of application>: corrupted double-linked list: 0x08e799e0 ***
[01:16] <kitche> GE: man alsactl I just use it to store and restore my alsa settings
[01:16] <warlock__> no problems rococo
[01:16] <GE> kitche: yeah, I'm looking at the man page now
[01:16] <kitche> warlock__: umm what are you compiling?
[01:16] <loser453> what would i fill in for "<xdir>" in the following:   X_VERSION=<xdir>
[01:16] <noelferreira> if i am using vdr or playing a youtube movie over the internet i can't ear sound in xmms or other aplication. but if i stop vdr or firefox. i have sound in my system. how can i have it enabled in both sides?
[01:16] <warlock__> A bnc software, I'm getting a weird error.
[01:17] <DanR> can anyone help with permissions?
[01:17] <kitche> noelferreira: make firefox use aoss instead
[01:17] <madmike> !sound | noelferreira
[01:17] <ubotu> noelferreira: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:17] <GE> kitche: I do not have a config to load from though
[01:17] <rococo> warlock__: anyway, usually .pm files aren't meant to be executed, they're meant to be installed and then used by perl scripts (which are run by the perl command)
[01:17] <azamat> gavintlgold, well if there's nobody else here who knows about resize2fs drop by in #gentoo or #linux, people there should know
[01:17] <spheard> how do zip up a whole directory tree, Im trying zip -m -r sarah where sarah is the directory name
[01:17] <warlock__> Yes rococo, exactly what I'm trying to do - could you help me out you think?
[01:18] <masterk> I need help making my standby and suspend and hibernate work
[01:18] <Comrade-Sergei> is there a way to read powertab (.ptb) files in ubuntu?
[01:18] <RAOF> masterk: What doesn't work currently
[01:18] <warlock__> Could you rococo?
[01:19] <rococo> warlock__: I can try, sure. Can you pastebin the contents of the .pm file so I can look at what's in there?
[01:19] <warlock__> well, theres a few .pm files
[01:19] <rococo> warlock__: or, before that, where did you get it, etc? Most good modules have install/make files with them
[01:19] <warlock__> can you join #warlock--help? I'm not authed on this network.
[01:19] <DanR> im trying to get the /opt folder to allow permissions, but even in root or in terminal su and chmod 666 it will not allow me to write, anyone have any ideas?
[01:19] <yuno> FINANLY I GOT MY ATI X1300 TO WORK
[01:20] <Jarrod> anyone know anything about VGA switcher boxes?
[01:20] <RAOF> DanR: How have you got it mounted, and what type of file system is it?
[01:20] <DanR> ext3
[01:21] <masterk> RAOF: when I go into suspend (which should work according to thinkwiki.org) it doesn't come out and standby it doesn't execute the standby it just goes to locking the session and as for hibernate it just does the same as standby
[01:21] <masterk> I have a thinkpad T22
[01:21] <RAOF> DanR: I don't suppose you've got that file sytstem mounted read only?
[01:21] <yuno> which is better in your opinion beryl of compiz?
[01:22] <yuno> or*
[01:22] <DanR> im not sure, but i cna write to /home
[01:22] <random-baby> in Ryhtmbox music player, all my radio stations are gone, is there a way i can get em back or add new one?
[01:22] <DanR> and that on the same file system
[01:22] <Comrade-Sergei> anyone running a program capible of using a .ptb (powertab) file?
[01:22] <DanR> i can write files through terminal
[01:22] <demonspork> I can't get dual monitors set up on my 8800GTS.  in order to get the card working I had to disable the restricted drivers manager and install the driver from Nvidia.  nvidia-settings doesn't even recognize the second monitor
[01:22] <RAOF> masterk: Ok.  Is that an nvidia graphics card in the T22?  Are you running Compiz/Beryl/Desktop-effects?
[01:23] <pnorris> hey guys i deleted my lower panel where all my minimized windows go, how do i get it back?
[01:23] <Comrade-Sergei> pnorris right click add panel
[01:23] <Pokit> right click top panel -> new panel
[01:23] <bruenig> pnorris, right click, dang
[01:24] <DanR> the file system is set to read only
[01:24] <Comrade-Sergei> yea
[01:24] <masterk> no desktop effects and its an S3 Savage XI8
[01:24] <Hellevator> um, I'm using an Inspiron 8500 laptop and my sound just stopped working suddenly sometime this week.  I'm using Feisty and it was working previously.
[01:24] <Hellevator> is there anything i can try?
[01:24] <Comrade-Sergei> how do you use a ptb file in ubuntu?
[01:24] <bruenig> Hellevator, see if it works in live cd
[01:24] <pnorris> ah cool now i feel like an idiot.  also my desktop cube isnt spinning anymore, any help with that?
[01:24] <bruenig> pnorris, #ubuntu-effects
[01:24] <Hellevator> bruenig, if it does what do i do then?
[01:25] <demonspork> Hellevator, is there a volume control dial on the computer somewhere? It is usually next to the headphone plug
[01:25] <bruenig> Hellevator, you will know that it is not a hardware issue
[01:25] <bruenig> if it does not work, then it is something to do with the laptop itself
[01:25] <Hellevator> demonspork, no there isn't.  I check and sound is not mutted anywhere
[01:25] <Hellevator> bruenig, i'm pretty sure its a software issue. it still works in windows
[01:26] <bruenig> Hellevator, oh yeah I forgot about that
[01:26] <demonspork> Hellevator, people bring me laptops all the time with the sound not working and I just turn the little dial, tell them to come back in an hour and then charge the 20 bucks
[01:26] <bruenig> Hellevator, try: amixer set Master 90% unmute
[01:27] <RAOF> masterk: Hm, no idea, sorry.
[01:27] <demonspork> I can't get dual monitors set up on my 8800GTS.  in order to get the card working I had to disable the restricted drivers manager and install the driver from Nvidia.  nvidia-settings doesn't even recognize the second monitor

[01:28] <HalonChilled_> Hi guys ive been having a nightmare installing lirc for my mythtv setup. Someone on the #mythtv channel told me to run "sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`". now when I run "apt-get update" i recieve the following errors (I have run it several times): "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) Reading package lists...
[01:28] <DanR> RAOF file system is set to read only, can i change this with out a reinstall?
[01:28] <Grummus> demonspork, pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:28] <Hellevator> bruenig, still no sound.
[01:28] <Hellevator> i can paste the output from amixer if it will help
[01:28] <kitche> HalonChilled_: just means that mirror is broken at the moment
[01:29] <azamat> ok here's a really weird issue: i'm using fluxbox for my second user, but i can't even open firefox. there's not even an error log :/ firefox works perfectly elsewhere and for other users. anyone know what i could try to fix this?
[01:29] <RAOF> DanR: How do you know it's set to read only?  Is it set to read only in /etc/fstab?
[01:29] <bruenig> it will not help me
[01:29] <OlliK> How to make kubuntu into ubuntu? which packages should I install and what should I edit?
[01:29] <masterk> does anyone know what you need to install frostwire because it's not starting up for me?
[01:29] <HalonChilled_> kitche so if i run again it will be fine when the mirror comes back up?
[01:29] <kitche> HalonChilled_: probbaly
[01:29] <Jarrod> why wont ubuntu run on my other monitor
[01:29] <DanR> its set to read only for everything except my /home/user directory
[01:29] <Hellevator> masterk, you need the Java JRE
[01:29] <DanR> i can change the permissions on anyhting else
[01:30] <DanR> cant*
[01:30] <dn4> how do I mount /dev/hdc2              35        9729    77875087+   5  Extended <-- It says I need a file type
[01:30] <solarce> masterk: yes
[01:30] <kmoniz5414> running 10.4.9, every time I try to open the download file to burn a disc image to DVD, it stops the operation and says no mountable file system found.
[01:30] <dn4> I do mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/
[01:30] <OlliK> If I want to make kubuntu into ubuntu, is it enough just to apt-get install gnome?
[01:30] <masterk> before I install?
[01:30] <HalonChilled_> kitche thank you very much
[01:30] <Hellevator> bruenig, I appreciate you helping me.  Do you have any other ideas?
[01:30] <masterk> I installed JRE AFTER I isntalled frostwire
[01:30] <bruenig> no
[01:30] <HalonChilled_> kitche how long do i wait before I assume the mirror is completely broken
[01:31] <RAOF> DanR: But I thought you *could* write files to it with the terminal, yes?
[01:31] <j1tters> is this the right room to ask about xorg performance under ubuntu or should i hit up #xorg?
[01:31] <solarce> masterk: what's frostwire?
[01:31] <Grummus> dn4, try hdc5 instead of hdc2
[01:31] <DanR> i think so
[01:31] <gravemind> how do you open a link with firefox from the terminal?

[01:32] <random-baby> can anyone tell me how to get the radio stations back for rhytmbox?
[01:32] <djzn> hi... how do I prevent a webcam driver to load ????
[01:32] <RAOF> DanR: Ok, so it's not that it's mounted read-only (since you can write to it :))
[01:32] <yuno> awwww.... my desktop effect can't be enabled now
[01:33] <solarce> djzn: smash the webcam
[01:33] <RAOF> yuno: That's what you get for crappy fglrx drivers.  Stupid ATI support.
[01:33] <yuno> >.<
[01:33] <djzn> how to install "build-essential" on a AMD64 machine/OS
[01:33] <yuno> i really hope they fix it
[01:33] <demonspork> I can't get dual monitors set up on my 8800GTS.  in order to get the card working I had to disable the restricted drivers manager and install the driver from Nvidia.  nvidia-settings doesn't even recognize the second monitor.   xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log>> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22069/
[01:34] <RAOF> yuno: Go to #ubuntu-effects, and check out the XGL howto.
[01:34] <RAOF> djzn: "sudo aptitude install build-essential" - Just like any other package!
[01:34] <solarce> djzn: apt-get install build-essential
[01:34] <DanR> when i click properties on the folders and look at permissions it says its owned by the root
[01:35] <RAOF> DanR: Incidentally, why do you want to be able to write to opt?
[01:35] <Grummus> yuno, it's possible to use effects with xgl instead of xorg with ati cards (at least for some)
[01:35] <solarce> how do I do everything that is on the wiki already?
[01:35] <gravemind> kbrosnan: is there a way to hide the terminal when firefox runs (perferably make it not appear)
[01:35] <DanR> so i can use xampp
[01:35] <RAOF> DanR: Why does xampp require you to be able to write to /opt (it shouldn't)
[01:35] <lou247> yuno, lookup xgl session + ati + compiz
[01:35] <DanR> it wont run anywhere else
[01:36] <DanR> i get a local host permissions error when i connect
[01:36] <djzn> solarce: i'm getting 111 error...
[01:36] <solarce> better than a 666 error
[01:36] <djzn> solarce: connection refused... my machine is definitely online and working
[01:36] <newnoob> i have a minor problem
[01:36] <newnoob> what can i use to stream shoutcast radio?
[01:36] <ice9> icecast
[01:36] <ice9> is a good one for server
[01:36] <gravemind> kbrosnan: I'm making an application launcher to launch gmail, so it would be good if it didn't spawn a terminal
[01:36] <demonspork> Grummus,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22069/
[01:37] <ice9> if you just want to listen xmms is good amarok is great
[01:37] <solarce> I prefer large drums
[01:37] <newnoob> xmms isn't doing it
[01:37] <lou247> newnoob, rythmbox, xmms
[01:37] <kbrosnan> gravemind: write a shell script, that should work
[01:37] <RAOF> DanR: Right.  So, what *is* xampp, and can you pastebing the errors it spits out?
[01:37] <gravemind> kbrosnan: I thought you added && to the end of it
[01:38] <bryan1969> go to mozillia and get media player connectivty
[01:38] <noiesmo> newnoob: streamtuner
[01:38] <DanR> heres the link for what i did http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223410
[01:38] <ice9> how can I tell if I have a display on my linux box at home I am using a putty terminal right now
[01:38] <ice9> trying to login via nx
[01:38] <DanR> xampp is a web development program
[01:38] <kbrosnan> gravemind: might work, i am not a command prompt expert
[01:38] <newnoob> streamtuner it is, i'll check it out
[01:38] <newnoob> thanks
[01:38] <DanR> basically turn ur computer into its own server to host from
[01:38] <ice9> xampp is great for dev
[01:39] <Grummus> demonspork, i read your data, in the log you can see both monitors get recognized "IFS InFocusX1 (CRT-0): 400.0 MHz maximum pixel clock" and "Samsung SyncMaster (DFP-1): 330.0 MHz maximum pixel clock"
[01:40] <ice9> how can I tell if I have a display running using putty
[01:40] <solarce> ice9: ps waux | grep X
[01:40] <babo_> kitche: nope, no uninstall in the source directory ...
[01:40] <djzn> W: Falha ao obter http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/build-essential/build-essential_11.3_amd64.deb

[01:41] <docta_v> are there any known issues with feisty and software raid arrays
[01:41] <djzn> coneection refused!!! I can't instal build-essential!!?
[01:41] <Grummus> demonspork, it also says "Samsung SyncMaster (DFP-1): Internal Dual Link TMDS" ergo the syncmaster uses Dual Link (both channels) and you can't attach a second monitor afaik
[01:41] <docta_v> i'm having a lot of problems with arrays not being unmounted properly on reboot, not being started automatically, etc.
[01:41] <solarce> djzn: OH NOES?!?!
[01:41] <RAOF> DanR: Ok, cool.  So, waht are the actual errors (pastebin *everything*) you get when you run, say "sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start"?
[01:41] <newnoob> ah man i'm such a tard, I thought the add/remove programs WAS synaptic. I'm at home now
[01:41] <newnoob> lol
[01:41] <DanR> RAOF, that command does work
[01:42] <RAOF> DanR: Ok, so pastebin the errors for something that doesn't :)
[01:42] <dxdemetriou> after a fix about the not eject for usb external disks, now the error changed.. it can't delete the directory. Can I fix it?
[01:42] <DanR> i can send u a link for a scrrentshot, caus its not an actual error in terminal
[01:43] <ochosi> why would a usb-stick not be found in ubuntu 7.04? (lsusb doesn't show a thing)
[01:44] <solarce> ochosi: your polarity probably got reversed
[01:44] <ochosi> solarce it's an acer aspire 3614 wlmi laptop
[01:44] <ochosi> solarce: what to do about that?
[01:44] <RAOF> DanR: Ok.
[01:45] <demonspork> grummus, is there any way to disable that?
[01:45] <solarce> get a mac?
[01:45] <sileni> hello, can someone teach me a simple way to install xine i already typed sudo apt-get install xine-ui and it installed that but kmplayer is still not working , it says xine is not running
[01:45] <demonspork> Grummus, then how does it work on Linux
[01:45] <demonspork> Grummus, then how does it work on ***WINDOWS***
[01:45] <demonspork> correction
[01:46] <solarce> no?
[01:46] <vwov> why are my blank DVD DL discs showing as 6.5gb empty instead of 8.5?
[01:46] <lethu> solarce, do you think "get a mac?" is going to fix his laptop's issue
[01:46] <Grummus> demonspork, hmm, i thought it was not possible to use dual monitor when one monitor uses dual link
[01:47] <solarce> lethu: it could? he'd have different hardware
[01:47] <gravemind> kbrosnan: ah I found the problem - I had the shortcut set to 'application in terminal' when it should have just been 'application'
[01:47] <sileni> hello, can someone teach me a simple way to install xine i already typed sudo apt-get install xine-ui and it installed that but kmplayer is still not working , it says xine is not running
[01:47] <dxdemetriou> Can I fix the problem about umounting external usb disks? I get the error that can't remove the directory
[01:48] <lethu> solarce, yeah put what about his laptop? shall he just trow it and get a mac?
[01:48] <Fawaz> hi all .. how can i install falsh player plugin for firefix?

[01:48] <bruenig> Fawaz, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

[01:48] <solarce> lethu: he does have an acer :/
[01:49] <RAOF> DanR: Why are you trying to create a new folder there, again?
[01:49] <lethu> solarce, he might not be enough wealthy
[01:49] <arbulus> fawax, if you are running on a PPC mac you cannot.  otherwise, yes.  bruenig listed the command line code.  but firefox should automatically prompt for it when trying to view  a flash file
[01:49] <djzn> is 64bit really faster than 32bit?
[01:49] <DanR> just to show you the error
[01:49] <solarce> lethu: true
[01:49] <DanR> its the same for everything
[01:49] <richard_> can someone tell me how to get rid of totem in firefox?
[01:49] <DanR> writing, deleting
[01:49] <DanR> copying
[01:49] <DanR> pasting
[01:49] <Pelo> richard_,  sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
[01:49] <mischko> What to put in a kickstart file to get it to use my ubuntu mirror?
[01:50] <solarce> richard_: you'll need three chickens, a virgin, a silver knife, and a full moon
[01:50] <Fawaz> arbuluc, bruenig : thanx guys
[01:50] <richard_> :D thanks
[01:50] <Reivec> anyone familiar with the behing the scenes of the GUI installer?
[01:50] <RAOF> djzn: Yes, it is.
[01:50] <arbulus> fawaz, you're very welcome
[01:50] <Pelo> Reivec,  no and you are not suppose to ask
[01:51] <solarce> RAOF: especially with -funrollloops
[01:51] <noiesmo> richard_: if you want to use mozilla-mplayer and it is installed already yyou will need to reinstall after you remove totem
[01:51] <Reivec> Pelo, Sorry, I didn't mean to infridge on your patent
[01:51] <RAOF> DanR: Yes, I know.  You don't have permissions.  But *why* are you tring to write stuff there?
[01:51] <djzn> what is "gism" ?
[01:52] <DanR> for xampp to run, it needs to be in /opt. i want to be able to delete the files in a xampp folder so i can write new one to it
[01:52] <Pelo> Reivec, several large men have been dispatched to your residence and will arrive shortly , take this time to say goodbye to your loved ones
[01:52] <bruenig> !ohmy | djzn
[01:52] <ubotu> djzn: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:52] <DanR> caus the files i need to put in there conflict with the current ones

[01:52] <masterk> help me frostwire won't start
[01:52] <djzn> is that a bad word
[01:52] <djzn> sorry
[01:52] <Reivec> Pelo, I told myself bye, I should be good to go
[01:52] <Pelo> Reivec,  if you have a specific question about the gui installer you can probably find some answers in the forum or the wiki
[01:53] <RAOF> DanR: Well, you can run "gksudo nautilus" in order to get a file manager with root permissions.
[01:53] <Reivec> Pelo, just wondering if there are any significant steps after it installs grub
[01:53] <RAOF> DanR: Or you could "sudo rm -r /opt/xampp" from a terminal, or whatever.
[01:53] <Johnnyr1570> hello
[01:53] <solarce> goodbye
[01:54] <Johnnyr1570> got a question
[01:54] <solarce> no questions allowed
[01:54] <solarce> we are full
[01:54] <noiesmo> masterk: try run from terminal see what error message is from frostwire
[01:54] <Pelo> Reivec,  I would assume that installing grub would be the last step since it involves scanning the computer for available OSs
[01:54] <arbulus> johnnyr: please, let us hear it
[01:54] <vwov> anyone here tried burning dual layer dvd's with ubuntu?
[01:54] <Johnnyr1570> ok, I need to get 577 permissions
[01:54] <Johnnyr1570> configure for full priveleges
[01:54] <Grummus> demonspork, try adding this to your "Screen" section: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22072/
[01:54] <m0u5e> im having trouble updating hal from <IP_ADDRESS>-4ubuntu12 to 0.5.9.-1ubuntu2
[01:54] <Johnnyr1570> how to add it
[01:54] <solarce> why would you give yourself less permissions than group and everyone?
[01:55] <m0u5e> anyone know why?
[01:55] <masterk> how do i start it from terminal?
[01:55] <arbulus> sudo chmod -R 577 /path/to/file
[01:55] <Johnnyr1570> I just set up ubuntu
[01:55] <m0u5e> whenever i try to install it, it said "fix broken packages first"
[01:55] <Johnnyr1570> I am new
[01:55] <arbulus> sorry, that was for johnnyr.  i forgot to direct it
[01:55] <noiesmo> masterk: open terminal and type frostwire then hit enter
[01:55] <DanR> RAOF: THANKS! worked first time, cheers again!
[01:56] <m0u5e> anyone else have this problem with upgrading hal from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[01:56] <Johnnyr1570> ok i'm lost
[01:56] <Grummus> demonspork, also read the nvidia reame for the driver, it contains very useful information about dual monitor setups
[01:56] <Pelo> m0u5e,  open synaptic,  in the lower left corner there are several buttons,  one of them will let you see broken packages ,  remove and reinstall them
[01:56] <m0u5e> pelo: according to synaptic it says i dont have any broken packages
[01:56] <arbulus> johnnyr:  sorry about that.  so you need to change the permissions on a file to 577, correct?
[01:56] <Johnnyr1570> yes, the home folder
[01:56] <Johnnyr1570> so I can do all the stuff
[01:56] <m0u5e> Pelo: i checked out launchpad, and it said that in the past there was an issue with hal having a broken dependancy, needing hal-info or something
[01:56] <RAOF> m0u5e: How (and more importantly, *why*) are you installing <IP_ADDRESS>?
[01:57] <Johnnyr1570> I am brand new to ubuntu
[01:57] <Pelo> m0u5e,  synaptic is just a front end for apt-get  if apt-get says there are broken packages synaptic should agree
[01:57] <m0u5e> pelo: i tried to install hal-info but that would require that i remove a bunch of crap :X
[01:57] <wastedfluid> Have a weird question, now.  I kill
[01:57] <dn4> what package would I need ot have alsaconfig ?
[01:57] <wastedfluid> whoops-hit enter
[01:57] <arbulus> johnnyr: ok, 577 is actually not what you want.  it's 777.  in your terminal, type: sudo chmod -R 777 /home/yourname
[01:57] <m0u5e> pelo: i was using the update manager

[01:58] <wastedfluid> Have a weird question, now.  I killed KNetworkManager in a terminal so I could try another wireless program.  Well, when I did... every icon(program) that was running in the system tray disappeared.  Now when I 'x' out of 'gaim', 'konversation' - they just disappear...
[01:58] <Pelo> m0u5e, ignore it for now , they will correct it eventualy I assume
[01:58] <Johnnyr1570> ok I will try it now
[01:58] <m0u5e> Pelo: you mean i'm not the only one having the problem? :(
[01:59] <RAOF> m0u5e: That version of hal is *not* in Feisty.  Why are you installing it?
[01:59] <Pelo> m0u5e,  I donT' know  my updates are in the morning , I'll find out tomorrow I guess
[01:59] <bknitram> Does ubuntu install anything into /opt
[01:59] <Pelo> [11touche] ,   permanently or just for theone time ?
[01:59] <RAOF> bknitram: No.
[01:59] <bknitram> thanks
[01:59] <[11touche] > well, without having to reboot...
[02:00] <RAOF> m0u5e: If you're using Gutsy, then #ubuntu+1 is where you want to be :)

[02:00] <[11touche] > yes
[02:00] <Johnnyr1570> it didnt work it says missing operand after 777
[02:00] <yuno> automatix is gone?
[02:00] <RAOF> m0u5e: Then *why* are you tring to replace Feisty's hal, and where have you got the packages from?
[02:00] <Pelo> [11touche] ,  is it mounted already ?

[02:00] <RAOF> !automatix | yuno
[02:00] <dn4> how do I search with apt-get for alsaconfig?
[02:00] <ubotu> yuno: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.

[02:17] <Johnnyr1570> it can't be this hard. I'm not that stupid

[02:21] <noobdude> how do i resize it?
[02:21] <wastedfluid> anyone know anything about why programs that are set to minimize to tray don't?  (It's more than one program; gaim, konversation, etc)  - the problems exit when you press x, not minimize to tray
[02:22] <Arex> Why does my flash player, on epiphany and firefox web browser, never emit sounds.
[02:22] <sileni> Pelo: i already went to those websites i dont know how to use those things
[02:22] <Pelo> wastedfluid,  because they are set to close on X and not to minimise ?  check each progs preferences
[02:22] <Neil-> Some people aren't very appreciative of free help are they.. glad hes gone lol
[02:22] <wastedfluid> Pelo: I did.  They used to minimzie to tray.. and the only thing I did was kill KNetworkManager in terminal. and everything that was in th system tray closed
[02:23] <Pelo> sileni,  the first one tells you how to get multimedia support,  you just have to copy one long command line to the terminal and you will have all the codecs you need,  take the time to read it
[02:23] <Arex> Why does my flash player, on epiphany and firefox web browser, never emit sounds.
[02:23] <barbarella_me> Neil-:yes...there goes johnny

[02:23] <Pelo> wastedfluid,  try just licking the system tray icon to toggle them open and closed
[02:23] <Neil-> lol
[02:23] <Ted_Nancy> Someone here can tell you how to do all that in one apt-get command.
[02:24] <Neil-> lol
[02:24] <Neil-> oops*
[02:24] <wastedfluid> but nothing is in the tray, pelo.  Except volume.  It seems as if nothing will minimize to tray now.
[02:24] <madhatt> hi all

[02:28] <Pelo> imat007, if apt-get is broken you are in trouble,   ( btw synaptic is just a front end for aptget so it's probably not broken),   what command are you using that makes you think aptget is broken ?

[02:31] <Dabian> ljl: I want to see join/parts ... just not silly ones.

[02:32] <kitche> Dabian: about 45% of the US
[02:32] <Dabian> LjL: Nah .. was just a suggestion.
[02:32] <barbarella_me> academo:a good start would be to look at your log files
[02:32] <Dabian> kitche: Well .. most trolls come from the US anyhow?
[02:32] <Pelo> Enverex,  try installing a dev package anyway and while you are in synaptic  reinstall the other one
[02:33] <LjL> ok, i need to ask you (and me) to stop this topic now
[02:33] <Dabian> kitche: nah .. just kidding .. I guess norway is the land of the trolls.
[02:33] <rococo> wait, the beer core dumps? that must be some terrible beer
[02:33] <Ted_Nancy> imat007: just out of curiosity, does it fail when you apt-get install some other program, other than the one your trying to do?
[02:33] <Dabian> ljl: OK .. but while we have been chatting, academo has cycled the channel at least 3 times.

[02:34] <dutch> hey all. Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is in my xorg.conf, but my mouse still doesnt work. do some mice report the scroll wheel as different buttons or something?

[02:35] <imat007> where is the core dump usually saved? I can't see it in my home dir?
[02:35] <sotec_prod> i had a power outage, and the computer was shut down. i rebooted and now linux takes FOREVER to boot. I also get this nice 'Reading Files to Boot' message that stays for longer than 5 minutes. Initially I had a 'Filesystem failure may be imminent....please backup all files' message, but that is gone now. *Is there any test or fix I can run to get my computer to boot properly?
[02:35] <MadMac> Any know why I would cycle between grub errors 16 and 18 when I boot up?
[02:35] <Flannel> rjian: you can't.  You can set it to something else known though.
[02:36] <Pelo> Enverex,  ok then you probably won'T benifit from resintalling and perhaps solving your problem
[02:36] <kitche> imat007: core dumps are usually hidden
[02:36] <Enverex> Pelo, How can I not benefit from solving my problem, that makes no sense
[02:36] <chump> if i add my esata hd in fstab will it mount when i switch it on ? or i'll have to mount it manualy ?
[02:36] <sotec_prod> EVerything else works fine
[02:36] <chump> on edgy eft
[02:36] <rococo> dutch: what does it say under Option "Protocol" and is it a USB or PS/2 mouse?
[02:36] <Pelo> Enverex, read again
[02:37] <cookie> hello everyone, why can't I login to my last session?
[02:37] <Pelo> cookie,   hibernate ?  it,s not 100% reliable on linux
[02:37] <rococo> dutch: also, is "Emulate3Buttons" true or false?
[02:37] <cookie> is there something wrong with the last session script?
[02:37] <__mikem> I just switched from eth1 to eth0 and I am testing to make sure I am still connected
[02:37] <__mikem> ok looks like I am, sorry about that
[02:37] <Eleaf> Pelo, yeah, mine just booted to a black screen when I hibernated.
[02:38] <dutch> says it is PS/2, and it in fact is, and emulate3buttons is not on
[02:38] <dutch> rococo: you get that?
[02:38] <rococo> dutch: yep
[02:38] <sotec_prod> hell with it. i'll deal with it
[02:39] <dutch> rococo: but, my mouse is actually USB but uses one of those USB->PS2 converter thingies. is that bad?
[02:39] <rococo> dutch: try enabling it and reloading X
[02:39] <rococo> dutch: no, that's fine
[02:39] <Ted_Nancy> that's strange. I'm looking at a fresh command line install of xubuntu 7.04 and its seeming to hang on "running /etc/rc.local"
[02:39] <imat007> the problem appears to have corrected itself, I run autoclean it coredumped, but then I rcvd  an update for samba and that installs ok.. now I can run apt-get install with no problems ..
[02:39] <dutch> rococo: turn on emulate3buttons?
[02:40] <imat007> does this make sense?  I also run apt-get update before that ..
[02:40] <Enverex> Pelo, I have everything installed on there that it recommends
[02:40] <rococo> dutch: yeah, give that a shot if your protocol is already "ExplorerPS/2"
[02:40] <Pelo> Enverex,  I am suggesting that you RE-install everything recommended,  and a reboot might not hurt either
[02:40] <rococo> dutch: then reload X with control+alt+backspace (but you probably already know that)
[02:40] <dutch> it isnt ExplorerPS/2, but just PS/2, but i will try that. thought that was only for older mice though?
[02:41] <rococo> dutch: it usually is, but sometimes old protocols work better
[02:41] <dutch> good point. brb
