[01:26] <alucard> is that hyphen supposed to be there ikonia
[01:26] <rickyfingers> orange1: be brave! pull the f***ing plug! If it doesn't work, you can get back.
[01:27] <ikonia> alucard: no - sorry
[01:27] <gizmo_the_great1> ikonia: I did a search initially but I think I searched wrong and it did not come up with anything. So I thought there was no package
[01:27] <lasking> no guys play guildwars?
[01:27] <ikonia> rickyfingers: no need for the language !
[01:27] <ikonia> lasking: join #winehq for better wine support
[01:27] <rickyfingers> ikonia: got it, I thought it was ok if we didn't write the whole thing out.  I will refrain from any four letter anglo saxon adjectives from now on.
[01:28] <orange1> rickyfingers: alrighty!
[01:28] <ikonia> rickyfingers: I think its more the implication than the word, eg: the darn thing has less intent than the "$$%$% thing
[01:28] <BSG75> wow, is there a reason why the entire contrib directory for mythtv is missing under ubuntu? or is it another apt?
[01:28] <McQueen> hi, how can i fix the problem "mount hda1
[01:28] <McQueen> mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-fuse'
[01:28] <McQueen> "
[01:28] <gizmo_the_great1> Flannel: ikonia thanks for your help. I will run off now and think about re-installing by dam system again! Might as well upgrade to edgy while I am at it
[01:29] <ikonia> !fuse >mcQueen
[01:29] <Flannel> gizmo_the_great1: Sounds good.
[01:29] <rickyfingers> ikonia: I totally understand the need to watch my language.  I'm in the Army and we tend to let the curse words fly...
[01:29] <shafto> Is there anyway to actually check inside say; x11 config to see whether they are definatley running
[01:29] <shafto> !nvidia
[01:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:29] <McQueen> ikonia: thanks
[01:29] <rickyfingers> !fuse >rickyfingers
[01:30] <orange1> hm
[01:31] <lasking> who knows oracle channel? tell me ok?
[01:31] <Gunirus> lasking: #oracle ?
[01:31] <BSG75> none of you run mythtv under ubuntu?
[01:31] <lasking> #oracle not is
[01:32] <rickyfingers> BSG75 - no but I'm curious about it.  Have you ever gotten it working? How does it compare to something like TiVO?
[01:33] <rambo3> BSG75, there is complte ubuntu media center that includes parts of mythtv
[01:33] <BSG75> rickyfingers: been using Mythtv for many years now .. it is simply awesome .. and now a days it doesn't even need you to know anything to install
[01:33] <BSG75> rickyfingers: suggest using knoppmyth for beginner
[01:33] <mohkohn> Hello
[01:33] <Nalidor`> Yeah, Ubuntu MCE is what rambo is talking about
[01:33] <rickyfingers> BSG75: also, can you set it up to stream video to other computers accross the net?  If I could do that I would set a mythtv box up at my parents house so I could watch American TV from their place (I live in Germany)
[01:33] <BSG75> rambo3: I apt-get installed it
[01:33] <shafto> Could the fact that nvidia hasnt detected his card '"NVIDIA Corporation NV40? [Unknown nVidia Card] " stop the drivers from working?
[01:33] <mohkohn> I am trying to install freedb. I get a message make: command not found
[01:33] <rambo3> BSG75, http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_MCE_looks_hot_Download_Squad
[01:34] <rickyfingers> BSG75: on the other hand, maybe not...I'd eat up all their upstream bandwidth.
[01:34] <BSG75>  rickyfingers: yup doing it to my soft modded xbox right now :)
[01:34] <rickyfingers> BSG75: that's totally cool.  What kind of tuner/capture hardware do you use? Huappage?
[01:34] <rambo3> sorry : here ubuntu MCE : http://linuxmce.com/
[01:34] <BSG75> rambo3: I have mythtv already installed .. don't aske me why I chose to do it on ubuntu though .. normally use gentoo .. my wife loves ubuntu so I thought why not LOL
[01:35] <BSG75> rickyfingers: a rickity old hauppauge
[01:35] <BSG75> it just seems the entire contrib directory is missing from the ubuntu apt
[01:35] <Enselic> Is there a graphical password generator for Ubuntu?
[01:35] <BSG75> which is very odd
[01:36] <mohkohn> Configuration of cddbd is now complete.
[01:36] <mohkohn> You may now run "make".
[01:36] <rickyfingers> BSG75: I didn't pay close enough attention to your previous message. You're using a modded x-box to run myth tv?
[01:36] <dipswitch> What's the best place to ask hardware related questions?
[01:36] <comlag> hi
[01:36] <comlag> i have a simple question
[01:36] <rickyfingers> dipswitch: if it's about hardware and edgy, you're in the right place
[01:36] <shafto> Could the fact that nvidia hasnt detected his card '"NVIDIA Corporation NV40? [Unknown nVidia Card] " stop the drivers from working?
[01:36] <mohkohn> then it tells me: make: command not found
[01:36] <comlag> wats the command to start gnome from console?
[01:36] <Enselic> dipswitch: here, ##linux at freenode IRC, or forums at linuxquestions.org
[01:36] <comlag> ??
[01:36] <BSG75>  rickyfingers: you can for frontend .. but I have a shuttle that is plugged into my 52" tv for a while now .. so it's just a quiet settop box
[01:36] <Nalidor`> comlag: gdm I think
[01:37] <dipswitch> rickyfingers, ensilic: thanks
[01:37] <Ulixes> hello
[01:37] <rickyfingers> shafto:  is that what gets written to your xorg.conf file?
[01:37] <comlag> thats it? i type gdm and gnome starts?
[01:37] <Nalidor`> I think so
[01:37] <rambo3> rickyfingers, use linux MCE instead
[01:37] <Nalidor`> <-- semi-noob
[01:37] <shafto> rickyfingers, thats what it says yes
[01:37] <grayman> shafto, in this case the generic driver usualy works ok
[01:37] <comlag> at least u have the semi
[01:37] <comlag> can anyone confirm wat he said?
[01:37] <Ulixes> can i add another xeon into my server whitout problems or i've to configure something (with ubuntu..)?
[01:38] <shafto> grayman, Can they run games okay though?
[01:38] <rickyfingers> I don't think that's really a problem, I "NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Default Card0" is what got put in mine.
[01:38] <adaptr> going from one to two ?
[01:38] <Ulixes> yes
[01:38] <comlag> k..
[01:38] <adaptr> are you now running an SMP enabled kernel ?
[01:38] <rickyfingers> shafto: sorry above response was for you forgot to put the name.
[01:38] <adaptr> Ulixes: uname -a
[01:38] <grayman> Shaffox, if all installed properly
[01:38] <Ulixes> k
[01:38] <mohkohn> I figured it out. I just needed build essential to get make. This is a fresh ubuntu install.
[01:38] <Ulixes> can you go in private adaptr?
[01:38] <grayman> need to make sure that it does direct render
[01:38] <adaptr> Ulixes: no
[01:38] <Ulixes> k
[01:39] <Ulixes> Linux Server 2.6.17-11-386 #2 Thu Feb 1 19:50:13 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[01:39] <grayman> also i saw few problems with one game which looks like ubuntu specific
[01:39] <rickyfingers> shafto: do you have any gui at all?
[01:39] <Ulixes> here's the response...
[01:39] <grayman> didn't find the reason
[01:39] <shafto> rickyfingers, Yeah full gui
[01:39] <Nalidor`> Is there a way to burn the installation cd to a dvd instead of a cd? Nero doesn't let me do it
[01:39] <adaptr> Ulixes: you need a better kernel, you're still running the installed one...
[01:40] <Ulixes> so....
[01:40] <Ulixes> ?
[01:40] <adaptr> Ulixes: why are you not running the server version of ubuntu ?
[01:40] <rickyfingers> shafto: so what leads you to belive the nvidia driver is not running? No noticeable increase in image quality?
[01:40] <Ulixes> cause i need the gui
[01:40] <Nalidor`> s/installation cd/installation iso/
[01:40] <comlag> any of u guys know how to get rid of graphical login ? ?
[01:40] <comlag> im trying to cut down boot time
[01:40] <adaptr> Ulixes: there is nothing preventing you from installing a GUI on the server version
[01:40] <rickyfingers> shafto: just as a sanity check, you did restart X after making the changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, right?
[01:40] <Ulixes> didn't know
[01:40] <Ulixes> i'm new in linux
[01:40] <adaptr> Ulixes: but there are many reasons to use the server version on a server
[01:40] <shafto> rickyfingers, Yeah lol
[01:41] <Ulixes> for example?
[01:41] <comlag> anyone?
[01:41] <Nalidor`> shafto, what does glxgears give you?
[01:41] <comlag> get rid of graphical login ..??
[01:41] <grayman> yeah
[01:41] <grayman> need direct render
[01:41] <grayman> maybe glx is not installed properly
[01:41] <Nalidor`> if the drivers are running, you should get a crazy increase in the glxgears benchmark
[01:41] <rickyfingers> comlag: I'm not sure what the correct way to do it is, but you could just move /etc/init.d/gdm somewhere else
[01:41] <adaptr> Ulixes: never mind, install linux-image-server
[01:41] <Ulixes> adaptr: for exaple? what are the differences?
[01:41] <Nalidor`> if not, it'll be in the hundreds
[01:42] <Ulixes> what does it do?
[01:42] <adaptr> Ulixes: the kernel is made specifically for server use, for example
[01:42] <shafto> Nalidor`, If it works does that probably mean their working correctly?
[01:42] <grayman> check nvidia-settings too
[01:42] <eilker>   i still cant ssh my virtual server, /Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive)./ any idea for this ?
[01:42] <adaptr> Ulixes: do you know what your current kernel does, and how ?
[01:42] <comlag> rickyfinger k thanks..
[01:42] <Ulixes> so so...
[01:42] <Ulixes> ok
[01:42] <comlag> wait wait i did that
[01:42] <comlag> i think
[01:42] <Ulixes> listen once i've installed:linux-image-server can i add the cpu?
[01:42] <adaptr> Ulixes: then what would be the point of explaining the difference ?
[01:42] <comlag> doesnt that just remove boot screen?
[01:43] <adaptr> Ulixes: the order doesn't matter
[01:43] <Nalidor`> shafto: If it gives you a number of fps that's at least a few thousand, then you're golden
[01:43] <adaptr> Ulixes: you'll have to get it through the boot sequence first anyway - what kind of server is it ?
[01:43] <rickyfingers> comlag: what I'm thinking is the way you bring gnome-desktop all the way down is sudo /etc/initid/gdm stop
[01:43] <Ulixes> what you mean for kind??
[01:43] <shafto> Nalidor`, How to check FPS?
[01:43] <robdeman> hi folks, I have a software raid1 /etd/md0 ... but how can I figure out what the real harddrives are, I mean I think I have /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdc1/ and they togethe rmake up the /dev/md0 .. how can I tell?
[01:43] <Ulixes> it's an olidata server... xeon 3.00 ghz irwindale
[01:44] <Ulixes> 1 gb ram ecc333 mhz
[01:44] <Nalidor`> shafto: run glxgears from the console and look at the console window
[01:44] <rickyfingers> comlag: so those /etc/init.d/ files get executed at start up, so if you just move it out of there, gnome-desktop will never start, and there you go.
[01:44] <tuqann> hi, anyone knows why when I run "gksudo nautilus" it take like five minutes before the browser actually appears?
[01:44] <comlag> wait wait
[01:44] <rickyfingers> orange1: are you connected wired or wireless?
[01:44] <comlag> i think im not explaining my question right
[01:44] <adaptr> Ulixes: so no brand-name ? and you have the exact same CPU ?
[01:44] <Ulixes> yes
[01:44] <orange1> rickyfingers: took a walk around the house - found 15 networks with crappy signals.. none good enough to test wifi with
[01:44] <Ulixes> wait a second, maybe i've the model
[01:45] <adaptr> Ulixes: turn it off, install second CPU, boot up - BIOS should tell you you have 2
[01:45] <rickyfingers> orange1: you must live in a pretty tech-savvy neighborhood.
[01:45] <orange1> rickyfingers: i dont know if its not connection cuz the connection is so poor or because its not setup right
[01:45] <comlag> i still want it automatically going in gnome but i want console login instead of the graphical one
[01:45] <Ulixes> ok then?
[01:45] <comlag> homefully cutting down on boot time
[01:45] <adaptr> Ulixes: then download server kernel, reboot, and boot up *with the server kernel*
[01:45] <Jowi> comlag, turn off the framebuffer in grub
[01:45] <adaptr> Ulixes: aptitude install linux-image-server is all you need to do
[01:45] <orange1> rickyfingers: techsavvy i think not... 9/15 networks were open
[01:45] <tony__> How can I find a file anywhere on a partition? cmd style
[01:45] <Ulixes> this is the server kernel right: linux-image-server?
[01:45] <Ulixes> kk
[01:45] <comlag> my grub is fine
[01:45] <PanzerMKZ> what about the SMP part
[01:46] <comlag> its just everythig else
[01:46] <adaptr> it is the meta-package for whatever is the newest server image, yes
[01:46] <rambo3> Ulixes, no such thing
[01:46] <rickyfingers> comlag: what I said will give you that then you just type startx after logging in...you'll be good to go.
[01:46] <BSG75> bah .. there is no contrib directory under ubunty for mythtv :( anyone know where I can find a copy of mythrename.pl that will work with edgy?
[01:46] <SpY_Sc0rPi0> i have problem with my x
[01:46] <PanzerMKZ> since if I call it he is installing second prob
[01:46] <Ulixes> and server kernel will update automaticcally when the updates are available?
[01:46] <PanzerMKZ> proc
[01:46] <shafto> Its weird though, cause nvidia-settings work perfectly and report fully up to date drivers and everything
[01:46] <adaptr> Ulixes: so if you install thaht one, a new released server image will upgrade
[01:46] <Ulixes> k
[01:46] <tuqann> hi, anyone knows why when I run "gksudo nautilus" it take like five minutes before the browser actually appears?
[01:46] <SpY_Sc0rPi0> it does not loads my drivers
[01:46] <Nalidor`> shafto, what did glxgears say?
[01:46] <adaptr> Ulixes: but that's not necessarily a good thing with a server
[01:46] <Ulixes> another question installing this package linux-image-server can i still run one processor?
[01:46] <adaptr> of course
[01:46] <comlag> rickyfingers is there any way to just have it "startx" after i login?
[01:46] <jamie> can anyone talk me through how to mount my ntfs drive in ubuntu?, iv trried online tutorials but to no avail please help me
[01:46] <shafto> Nalidor`, nothing
[01:46] <adaptr> an SMP kernel can run any number of CPUs
[01:46] <Nalidor`> interesting
[01:47] <Ulixes> kk does ubuntu change visually or it runs normally?
[01:47] <Nalidor`> That's all I can do to help, sorry :(
[01:47] <adaptr> it runs twice as fast ?
[01:47] <Ulixes> with the gui and the programs?
[01:47] <Messia> my generic view urlconf does not seem to be working.
[01:47] <SpY_Sc0rPi0> i have problem with my x, my drivers couldn't be loaded
[01:47] <Ulixes> i mean i do not see the differences apart the speed right?
[01:47] <adaptr> Ulixes: you're making this out to be some sort of magic.. it isn't
[01:47] <Ulixes> lol
[01:47] <Messia> urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list',   (r'^list/$', 'object_list', dict(list_dict, template_name='objects/object_list.html')),)
[01:47] <jamie> hello>
[01:47] <adaptr> Ulixes: what kind of drives do you have in this thing ?
[01:47] <eth01> im booting my ubuntu server and its saying theres an error segmentated?
[01:48] <adaptr> eth01: actually, it's not saying that
[01:48] <rickyfingers> comlag: I'm thinking, it would go in something like the ~/.bashrc file, but I'm not sure that's where you want it, because it'll run startx every time you start another instance of bash
[01:48] <Ulixes> double sata disks
[01:48] <Messia> oops wrong chat
[01:48] <adaptr> Ulixes: RAID-1 ?
[01:48] <jamie> is anyone willing to help?
[01:48] <Ulixes> NO
[01:48] <Ulixes> no raid
[01:48] <jamie> well thanx a bunch
[01:48] <adaptr> Ulixes: pity; only half a server, then
[01:48] <comlag> hm..
[01:48] <Ulixes> cause linux doesn't see the raid
[01:48] <Ulixes> yes
[01:48] <adaptr> Ulixes: you will need to do some work yourself for that
[01:48] <Nalidor`> Is there a way to burn the installation iso to a dvd instead of a cd? Nero doesn't let me do it
[01:49] <SpY_Sc0rPi0> how can i disable xorg-air
[01:49] <AmyRose> jamie, I'd try to help you, but I have no experience, but please try being more polite
[01:49] <adaptr> Ulixes: do it, it is worth every effort
[01:49] <comlag> im gonna spend more time googling
[01:49] <rickyfingers> comlag: looking at the man page real fast, I'd say you'd want to put startx in the last line of ~/.bash-login
[01:49] <Ulixes> do wath?
[01:49] <adaptr> Nalidor`: use dvd decrypter, nero is stupid
[01:49] <Ulixes> *what?
[01:49] <comlag> ill try that then
[01:49] <jrib> jamie: Ulixes wasn't replying to you, just ask your question to the channel
[01:49] <adaptr> Ulixes: configure your system so it can boot from and use the RAID
[01:49] <comlag> brb
[01:49] <tuqann> Anyone knows why "gksudo nautilus" takes five minutes to load the browser?
[01:49] <rickyfingers> comlag: excuse me, I meant ~/.bash_login - underscore not a hyphen
[01:49] <adaptr> Ulixes: how and where do you set up raid ?
[01:49] <orange1> rickyfingers: have u tried aircrack?
[01:49] <Nalidor`> adaptr: Isn't that a ripper?
[01:49] <Jowi> comlag, you might put an "if" loop in there to just startx in case it is not already started.
[01:50] <esperegu> anybody knows how one can create a custom menu on left mouse click on the desktop? (like with fluxbox)
[01:50] <adaptr> Nalidor`: no, it's not - it ius the best burner you can find for Windows
[01:50] <Ulixes> from the raid bios
[01:50] <Nalidor`> adaptr: lovely, thanks
[01:50] <rickyfingers> orange1: I never heard of aircrack. Is it as addictive as regular crack?
[01:50] <comlag> k
[01:50] <jamie> how do I auto mount my ntfs formatted drive at ubuntu start up?
[01:50] <comlag> lemme edit and reboott
[01:50] <rickyfingers> orange1: I've heard of airsnort, but never used it.
[01:50] <orange1> rickyfingers: www.aircrack-ng.org
[01:50] <adaptr> Ulixes: okay, disbale the RAID completely in the BIOS, and re-run the installation, opt to install LVM on a 2-disk soft raid - done.
[01:50] <comlag> see if this works
[01:50] <jamie> as I said I'v tried using tutorials but they never work
[01:50] <comlag> thanks
[01:51] <jamie> any help would be much appreciated
[01:51] <jrib> jamie: have you been to the guide at the wiki?
[01:51] <Nalidor`> jamie: have a look in /etc/fstab as root
[01:51] <Ulixes> but this way i've to format
[01:51] <Nalidor`> in a text editor
[01:51] <Ulixes> ...
[01:51] <jamie> yes and i get an error
[01:51] <Ulixes> when i'll have some time free i've to do
[01:51] <jrib> jamie: tell us the error
[01:51] <Nalidor`> what error?
[01:51] <jamie> while executing the commands given
[01:51] <adaptr> Ulixes: yes, in return you will have an actual server, instead of one that will die on the first disk error
[01:51] <shafto> !nvidia
[01:51] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:51] <jamie> 2 tics
[01:51] <jetscreamer> jamie: http://linux.hfds.com/files/fstab.1  change the uid & gid maybe or so.. man mount, search fmask & dmask to see what they do
[01:51] <Ulixes> tight
[01:52] <jetscreamer> type id in a console to see your id
[01:52] <Ulixes> *you right
[01:52] <robdeman> folks: what does this mean mdadm /dev/md0 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2) .. I tried to setup software raid1 ... is this correct?
[01:52] <jamie> o.k i'll give it a bash, one more ? wha'ts the most stable program for ipod sync
[01:52] <Ulixes> anyway it's a school's server, i'm trying to convince the director to use linux in all computers :D
[01:52] <adaptr> robdeman: obviously not.. if it's only seeing one drive
[01:52] <jrib> !ipod > jamie    (jamie, see the private message from ubotu)
[01:52] <rickyfingers> jetscreamer: is your nic the name of a rock star in the jetsons cartoon?
[01:52] <jetscreamer> rickyfingers: right on
[01:52] <robdeman> adaptr: damn how can I fix this...?
[01:52] <adaptr> Ulixes: then you're on a budget, understandable
[01:53] <adaptr> robdeman: I have no idea what you did
[01:53] <Ulixes> :)
[01:53] <jetscreamer> rickyfingers: you're only the second person to get it in quite a few years
[01:53] <robdeman> ugh
[01:53] <Ulixes> i've seen that is mooore fast and more secure than win, but i've to learn some commands
[01:53] <Ulixes> anyway i want to thank you for explain me everything
[01:53] <Ulixes> thanks again, i gotta go, byebye
[01:53] <rickyfingers> jetscreamer: that's killer.  Did you ever see that beastie boys video they made at voodoo fest, they do a rendition of "the joint" where they start going "eep opp ork ah ah"
[01:53] <adaptr> robdeman: start by trying if it's just only started one drive, by adding the second drive with mdadm
[01:53] <BSG75> oh well .. I give up .. gonna try the unofficial apt .. if that doesn't work .. back to gentoo.. thanks guys
[01:54] <jetscreamer> rickyfingers: no didn't know they did that .. i'd like to see it
[01:54] <Ulixes> last question, will the application use both processor or i need other configuration?
[01:54] <rickyfingers> jetscreamer: it was on youtube a while ago, I don't know if it's still there or not...what with all the copyright law suits that they've been getting hit with.
[01:55] <robdeman> adaptr: ... ok...
[01:55] <jetscreamer> i'll google it
[01:55] <eth01> can some1 tell me then if this is correct please? http://phpfi.com/219516

[01:57] <eth01> adaptr: whats wrong with it?
[01:57] <rambo3> tuqann, does this help : rm -rf /root/nautilus/*
[01:57] <michup> i added .bash_profile file and fill it with PATH=$PATH:/my/own export $PATH but when i printenv it desnt changed
[01:57] <michup> do .bash_profile has to be executable?

[01:58] <jrib> michup: how do you login?
[01:58] <tuqann> yes
[01:58] <michup> gdm
[01:58] <tuqann> it did help, thanks a million

[01:58] <tuqann> any thoughts about the other problem?
[01:58] <robdeman> adaptr:  mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/md0

[01:59] <shafto> jrib, http://www.english-troopers.com/Screenshot.png
[01:59] <Frogzoo> tuqann: suspend causing video problems is a video driver issue - upgrade
[01:59] <jrib> shafto: try pressing tab
[02:00] <adaptr> eth01: at least 3 things
[02:00] <michup> okay thx
[02:00] <tuqann> Frogzoo: hmmm, I thought as much though I got the latest drivers from ati, you think I have to downgrade them?
[02:00] <adaptr> eth01: please just use the network applet to set a static IP, if you must.. but why oh why are you assigning a PUBLIC IP ?
[02:00] <Frogzoo> tuqann: I use fglrx on edgy and suspend works
[02:00] <Frogzoo> !fglrx | tuqann
[02:00] <ubotu> tuqann: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:01] <sebrock> got a quick question about Samba here: My samba folder shows the windows computer "double" like C and C$, D and D$ and so on? WHy is this?
[02:01] <michup> and that ~/.xprofile has to be executable?
[02:02] <jrib> michup: no
[02:02] <jetscreamer> sebrock: the ones with the $ are administrative shares
[02:02] <jetscreamer> autogenerated
[02:03] <jetscreamer> it's a windows thing
[02:03] <SpY_Sc0rPi0> i want my xserver-xorg-air to be disabled, how can i do this?
[02:03] <jetscreamer> sebrock: there is a setting in registry to turn those off btw (in windows)
[02:04] <michup> okay do i have to reboot to make that xprofile work?
[02:04] <jetscreamer> no
[02:04] <jetscreamer> source it
[02:05] <remfarkas> hi
[02:05] <jetscreamer> source ~/.whatever
[02:05] <michup> thx
[02:05] <remfarkas> is there any chance i can get my radeon 8500 work with using 3D?
[02:05] <antoine_> bonjour
[02:05] <jetscreamer> yes
[02:05] <jetscreamer> there is a chance
[02:05] <antoine_> vous ne sauriez pas ou est ce que je peux voir l'historique des dates de mises en veilles de mon PC?
[02:05] <antoine_> sur ubuntu bien sr
[02:05] <jetscreamer> actually doesn't the xorg ati do 3d on <=9200

[02:06] <antoine_> oops thank
[02:06] <Frogzoo> sabiancra: relevant how?
[02:06] <remfarkas> i was searchin for guides but in the end i ended always with not running x-window-manager
[02:06] <michup> bash: export: `/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/home/michup/usr/bin': not a valid identifier
[02:06] <eth01> http://phpfi.com/219520 << is that correct?
[02:06] <michup> the file exists
[02:07] <eth01> ekk
[02:07] <jrib> michup: paste the command you used
[02:07] <eth01> bad lag
[02:07] <Seveas> !netstplit
[02:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about netstplit - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:07] <Jowi> haven't seen that in years...
[02:07] <michup> source .xprofile
[02:07] <tuqann> wow, did a hundred people just left the room :S
[02:07] <jrib> michup: inside .xprofile
[02:07] <michup> okay
[02:07] <sebrock> jetscreamer, ?
[02:07] <michup> PATH=$PATH:$HOME/usr/bin
[02:07] <michup> export $PATH
[02:07] <Federico90> someone knows a good mp3 ripper?
[02:08] <eth01> adaptr: thats my cable IP
[02:08] <Jowi> Federico90, sound-juicer is good and default
[02:08] <jetscreamer> sebrock: what
[02:08] <jetscreamer> i must have missed it
[02:08] <sebrock> yeah
[02:08] <adaptr> eth01: that's not static - it's DHCP
[02:08] <jrib> michup: export PATH   not   export $PATH
[02:08] <Federico90> Jowi: yap but he doesn't convert on mp3 formatr
[02:08] <lucien> #UBUNTU-FR
[02:08] <Federico90> *formar
[02:08] <Federico90> *forat
[02:08] <sebrock> jetscreamer, will it always show these administrative shares? All I did was to share usual stuff, not marking them with admin privs?
[02:09] <Jowi> Federico90, it does, but you need to tell it how to do that first
[02:09] <Federico90> aaaa
[02:09] <michup> okay
[02:09] <jetscreamer> sebrock: yes, and those shares are a windows thing... you can turn them off in the windows registry if you wish
[02:09] <Federico90> Jowi: i need to encode a cd audio in mp3 files
[02:09] <ericka> how can i shutdown my computer normally? there is no option in my gnome in quit tab?
[02:09] <Federico90> but i need also to decide the bitrate
[02:09] <sebrock> jetscreamer, do you know the place in reg?
[02:10] <Frogzoo> ericka: sudo shutdown -h now
[02:10] <michup> so that xprofile will work everytime i log to my session?
[02:10] <Jowi> Federico90, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping
[02:10] <eth01> adaptr: how can i make it static instead of DHCP?
[02:10] <michup> X session
[02:10] <jetscreamer> sebrock: http://www.google.com/search?q=disable+administrative+shares+site%3Amicrosoft.com
[02:10] <adaptr> eth01: you can't
[02:10] <Federico90> Jowi: ty
[02:10] <adaptr> eth01: your ISP assigns the IP
[02:10] <ericka> Frogzoo,  ty i tried it.. but " now " is new for me :) will tried it.
[02:11] <eth01> adaptr: i know what. but what should i do
[02:11] <eth01> make it dynamic?
[02:11] <jrib> michup: through gdm it should
[02:11] <tuqann> one thing I liked about openSUSE is their driver support, everything came configured and ready out of the box, can't Ubuntu do something of that sort?
[02:11] <sebrock> tnx jetscreamer
[02:11] <adaptr> eth01: apart from the fact that running a newbie-Linux box off a public IP is.. scary
[02:11] <jetscreamer> gdm doesnt give you those options if you're running not-gnome
[02:11] <steven43126> what driver do i need for a hsf modem on sony laptop, it's a softmode included in the sound card far as i can tell i need the HSF modem driver but there seems to be a price for this driver ?
[02:12] <ericka> my isp connection or my download is too slow.. so anyhow i download fiesty? with resume. ?
[02:12] <eth01> its a VPS
[02:12] <sebrock> jetscreamer, wait, this wont delete the shares? just the administraive shares right?
[02:13] <jetscreamer> sebrock: you can turn the administrative shares off. 'shouldn't' affect your others, but if it does just recreate them
[02:13] <sebrock> ok
[02:13] <brunes> I've got a weird problem.... my PC is dual boot. if I hibernate while I am in Windows, then turn the PC back on and boot into ubuntu (ps. this is feisty fawn) - my network card never comes up
[02:13] <brunes> anbyone ever hear of something like that?
[02:13] <adaptr> eth01: what is a VPS ?
[02:13] <brunes> Its like the PC put it into ACPI sleep mode and ubuntu is not waking it, or something
[02:13] <mirak> hi
[02:13] <Remo_A> why is imagemagick in efty edge still in version 6.2 instead of the newer 6.3? how can I upgrade withouth installing it from source? thanks
[02:13] <Jowi> brunes, #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[02:14] <mirak> is there a page that references the stats about the package usage by the users ???
[02:14] <jrib> mirak: popcon.ubuntu.com
[02:14] <brunes> Joel: Ok thanks. Ever heard anything like that though? It almost sounds liek a kernel bug
[02:15] <ericka> my isp connection or my download is too slow.. so anyhow i want to download fiesty? with resume. ? if i resume my download so its valid for installation? can someone help me with this? thanks.
[02:15] <jrib> !timebasedreleases > Remo_A    (Remo_A, see the private message from ubotu)
[02:15] <Remo_A> jrib: thanks
[02:15] <jrib> Remo_A: unless it is in backports, you will need to compile it
[02:16] <mirak> jrib: well this stats are not relevant if you want to compare a default package like evolution to thunderbird
[02:16] <jrib> Remo_A: actually, in feisty it is 7:<IP_ADDRESS>.dfsg1-0.14 so I guess the version you want can't be backported
[02:17] <remfarkas> anyone knows how to get radeon 8500 work with 3D?
[02:17] <mirak> you can't desinstal it by the way
[02:17] <jrib> mirak: I don't understand
[02:17] <Remo_A> jrib: yes, I saw it .. well ok thx
[02:17] <michup> okay ive added my new menu entry but it isnt there do i have to reload panel?
[02:17] <mirak> http://popcon.ubuntu.com/by_inst
[02:17] <robdeman> anybody here that could check my desmg to see if I setup my harddrives correctly? (dma etc..?)
[02:18] <robdeman> I added the 2nd drive to the /md0
[02:18] <xMorgawr> hi, could somebody help me with azureus? i've just downloaded it and installed from the repo, but when i open it, it loads and takes me to a window for settings, then it shuts off..
[02:18] <mirak> jrib: even if I don't explicitely want evolution or even use it, it will still be counted in the stats.
[02:18] <Frogzoo> robdeman: if they show up in 'df' you're in business
[02:19] <robdeman> df?
[02:19] <Frogzoo> robdeman: -> man df , also man lvdisplay
[02:20] <sluimers> Hi, I'm trying to mount an external harddrive using NTSF, but fusermount refuses to read spaces in fstab. How can I get it to read spaces?
[02:20] <jrib> mirak: what kind of statistic do you want on it?
[02:20] <robdeman> -bash: lvdisplay: command not found
[02:20] <michup> after i add my menu entry  it isnt there
[02:20] <michup> do i have to reload my panel?
[02:20] <michup> or something done wrong?
[02:21] <jrib> michup: try to reload the panel, though that doesn't seem normal
[02:21] <michup> okay can i do it manually from shell?
[02:21] <mirak> jrib: it's just that I think rythmbox or totem doesn't deserve to be defaults. That's better now but they abusively pushed in previous release while there was better players. Especially in regard to gstremer immaturity
[02:21] <jrib> michup: killall gnome-panel
[02:21] <sluimers> and how can I see a list of the users here in this channel?
[02:22] <sluimers> oh wait, dound the latter
[02:22] <sluimers> *found
[02:22] <michup> thx now it shows up
[02:22] <jrib> mirak: k, #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for that discussion
[02:23] <Frogzoo> sluimers: /names
[02:23] <sluimers> ./names?
[02:24] <adaptr> yes
[02:24] <adaptr> or /list, if you're feeling masochistic
[02:24] <adaptr> 1022 nicks in channel
[02:25] <sluimers> oh, I thought for a second you were answering my first question
[02:25] <adaptr> sluimers: don't. use. spaces. then
[02:25] <adaptr> fstab uses tab delimiters
[02:26] <michup> okay i had this conceptions but it wont work... ive a java game Magic-Project and i start it in console by typing java -jar ~/usr/bin/magic/starter.jar but i wanted to use it by clickin into menu so i make in ~/usr/bin/magic.sh
[02:26] <michup> which executes that command with correct path java -jar magic/starter.jar
[02:26] <cbx33> hey all
[02:27] <jrib> michup: give the full path to magic/starter.jar
[02:27] <Cosmonaut3030> Hi. I'm looking for some kind of wireless manager simillar to kwifimanager, but without the KDE dependancy. Is this possible?
[02:27] <michup> okay
[02:27] <cbx33> why would usb devices have bad latency and poor responce on the live CD and after an install?
[02:27] <eilker> !chroot
[02:27] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[02:27] <adaptr> cbx33: because... they always do ?
[02:27] <michup> /home/michup/usr/bin/magic/starer.jar
[02:27] <cbx33> adaptri mean keyboard and mouse
[02:27] <xMorgawr> guys, i need help with azureus (bittorrent client).. whenever i open it, it opens a window for settings but i can't change anything because it shuts down right after..
[02:27] <adaptr> +t, yes
[02:28] <cbx33> mouse is really juddery and keyboard is unresponsive
[02:28] <adaptr> cbx33: define "bad latency"
[02:28] <michup> and my magic.sh --> /home/michup/usr/bin/magic.sh
[02:28] <Cosmonaut3030> Hi. Can anyone help? I'm looking for some kind of wireless manager simillar to kwifimanager, but without the KDE dependancy. Is this possible?
[02:28] <cbx33> and the network card doesn't work either
[02:28] <adaptr> cbx33: what USB chipset, which drivers
[02:28] <cbx33> well it was the ubuntu live cd
[02:28] <xMorgawr> i need help with azureus (bittorrent client).. whenever i open it, it opens a window for settings but i can't change anything because it shuts down right after..
[02:28] <cbx33> not sure what usb chipset
[02:28] <jrib> michup: right
[02:28] <cbx33> how do i check
[02:28] <cbx33> it work fine the other day
[02:29] <xMorgawr> help anyone? D:
[02:29] <michup> and source of it java -jar magic/starter.jar
[02:29] <Jowi> cbx33, I had that prob on 2.6.17-11-generic kernel. I have to use 2.6.17-10-generic. USB devices kept on disconnecting.
[02:29] <Jowi> cbx33, (running edgy)
[02:29] <cbx33> eh this is edgy
[02:29] <cbx33> but I am running the old kernel
[02:30] <cbx33> on both live cd
[02:30] <cbx33> and after installing
[02:30] <Cosmonaut3030> Does anyone know any programs simmilar to kwifimanager, but without the KDE?
[02:30] <cbx33> only thing that may have changed is the order of pci cards
[02:30] <jrib> michup: no, in the source, put the full path to starter.jar
[02:31] <michup> okay
[02:31] <xMorgawr> how do i view hidden files in my folder?
[02:31] <jrib> xMorgawr: ctrl-h, or view > show hidden files in the menu
[02:31] <xMorgawr> thanks
[02:31] <Cosmonaut3030> xMorgawr: ls -a in terminal
[02:32] <Owner> hello
[02:33] <Jowi> xMorgawr, ctrl-h in nautilus and thunar
[02:33] <Obidose> If, I want to install ubuntu on a second hard drive and leave windows intact, is this easy?
[02:34] <Frogzoo> xMorgawr: ctrl h
[02:34] <michup> #!/bin/bash
[02:34] <michup> java -jar /home/michup/usr/bin/magic/starter.jar
[02:35] <michup> it isnt working
[02:35] <Dhanjel> any tips on tv-software (for ivtv based card) that works with ati?
[02:35] <jrib> michup: does it work if you try to execute the shell script directly in a terminal?
[02:35] <michup> i try directly
[02:35] <jrib> michup: what did you type?
[02:35] <Jowi> Obidose, yes. but if windows is on the primary disk you will need a way to boot linux. that means installing a bootloader on MBR (Master Boot Record) that overwrites windows bootloader. the windows install will be intact but its bootloader will be overwritten.
[02:35] <Cosmonaut3030> Obidose: Yeah, it is. tHe Ubuntu partitioner/install will help you :)
[02:36] <michup> i was pressing when it asked run and run in terminal but nothing happend
[02:36] <michup> w8 ill chek directly given a path in shell
[02:36] <jetscreamer> chmod +x your_script  maybe
[02:36] <Obidose> If i just run the live cd and tell it to install, will it give me the options to do it?
[02:36] <Jowi> Obidose, if your linux disk is primary then you have no problem.
[02:36] <Cosmonaut3030> Obidose: Yes.
[02:37] <Jowi> Obidose, yes. you will get options on where to install linux.
[02:37] <Obidose> but my windows disk is primary atm, i have only just stuck another hdd in there
[02:37] <sabotai> does any1 know how to configure proxy in firefox?
[02:37] <michup> Make sure you are running this from the installation directory
[02:37] <drbreen> i had this idea and now i wanna ask
[02:37] <drbreen> is there any possibility i can apt-get porn ?
[02:37] <jrib> sabotai: edit > preferences  > advanced > network > settings
[02:37] <sabotai> lol?
[02:37] <michup> it seems java need to do it from /home/michup/usr/bin/magic/ directory?
[02:37] <Cosmonaut3030> drbreen: Lol, wtf?
[02:38] <sabotai> drbbreen u funny
 i mean are there porn repositories or something ?
[02:38] <jrib> !pornview | drbreen this is close...
[02:38] <ubotu> drbreen this is close...: pornview: Image and movie viewer/manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2pre1-6 (edgy), package size 217 kB, installed size 656 kB
[02:38] <sabotai> drbreen: wtf? !is there one?
[02:38] <michup> thats all dialog: Boot class : Starter
[02:38] <michup> Unable to find the 'lib' directory.
[02:38] <michup> Make sure you are running this from the installation directory
[02:38] <Cosmonaut3030> Do you think they have porn.debs?
[02:38] <sabotai> jrib thanks jrib
[02:38] <jetscreamer> no it's just a picture viewer... and only does .jpg iirc
 would be nice.
[02:39] <drbreen> i do not want a picture viewer
[02:39] <Cosmonaut3030> drbreen: It would.
[02:39] <Cosmonaut3030> But I doubt it.
[02:39] <Cosmonaut3030> !kwifimanager

[02:39] <jrib> michup: that's java error output right?
[02:40] <michup> strange but shell didnt say about that but it works now
[02:40] <Moox> hi there. Where is the gnome menu file ? Those on which describes all the menu entries for a usr
[02:40] <michup> it seems that java need to be directly in his option file directory
[02:40] <albert> hello, anybody can say me how can I pulse right button with keyboard??
[02:40] <jrib> michup: ok, if it does need to be run in the right directory, just put a 'cd /whatever' in your shell script before executing java
[02:41] <albert> Anybody know it??
[02:41] <jetscreamer> albert: if you want to emulate your mouse via keyboard, shift+numlock iirc
[02:41] <michup> ive changed source #!/bin/bash
[02:41] <michup> cd /home/michup/usr/bin/magic/
[02:41] <michup> java -jar starter.jar
[02:41] <michup> and it works
[02:41] <jetscreamer> and numlock to toggle it off again
[02:41] <jetscreamer> err numlock
[02:41] <jetscreamer> gah
[02:41] <michup> now ill check if it works with menu entry
[02:41] <jetscreamer> shift
[02:42] <jetscreamer> ahh.
[02:42] <jrib> !enter
[02:42] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:42] <jetscreamer> turn it off
[02:42] <michup> okay it works :)
[02:42] <albert> jetscreamer: i haven't mouse in this moment, i need press turn right on my icon directory, how can I?? jetscreamer
[02:42] <effie_jayx> I have a wpa realted issue.. :S My wireless card ( Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 ) is working fine. but when I try to log in using network manager... It won't take the password for my network...
[02:42] <michup> thx a lot!!
[02:42] <jrib> michup: great, np
[02:42] <Moox> My application menus are empty, How can I rebuild them ?
[02:42] <jetscreamer> albert: shift+numlock, then use the keypad for the mouse
[02:42] <effie_jayx> I know it has to do with wpa but no clue on where the problem might be
[02:43] <jetscreamer> albert: i forget which key on the numpad becomes right click but play with it and find out
[02:43] <jetscreamer> Moox: 'maybe' update-menus but i dunno
[02:44] <michup> for everyone that interests in Magic the Gathering game theres cool GPL project called Magic-Project
[02:44] <Moox> jetscreamer: there is no 'update-menus' app

[02:47] <Mats> Hey, when I typ cat /proc/cpuinfo it says my CPU is running at 800mhz...that's not right, since I have a AMD Athlon Mobile 64 2800+ cpu...how to change?
[02:48] <qiv> hello ^^ anyone ever tried to change a 64bit ubuntu into a 32bit? :)
[02:48] <jetscreamer> Mats: it may adjust itself on the fly... not sure
[02:48] <qiv> Mats, 2800+ does not mean it has a frequence of 2.8ghtz
[02:48] <foo> Hm, SAS drives are not SATA or ATA drives... they are their own type, right?
[02:48] <qiv> so it could be those 800mhz, i do not know
[02:49] <Mats> No, qiv...it should be running at 1800mhz...
[02:49] <qiv> Mats, possible i do not know ;)
[02:49] <fabian_> hallo
[02:49] <sabotai> what does *.local refer to?
[02:50] <Mats> :) Anyone know, then? How to change CPU speed...
[02:50] <fabian_> have a bug in feisty workspaces on cube...
[02:50] <fabian_> is this the right place to post it
[02:50] <fabian_> ??

[02:50] <IdleOne> for cube support heh
[02:51] <IdleOne> no problem
[02:53] <Mats> Is there any other channel to ask about CPU management, then?

[02:56] <mcarolan88> hey guys, bit of a problem, i'm trying to install the beta but the ubiquity always crashes at stage 5 of the installation - and i cannot press next to continue, is there any way i can skip this stage (importing documents and settings)?
[02:56] <Cyynic> I'm getting an "Out of Range" error from my monitor from Gnome at start up, but it's not xorg.conf. I know this because KDE is running fine right now, anyone have any ideas?
[02:56] <Mats> Any of you new guys know how to change CPU frequency?
[02:57] <pschulz01> mcarolan88: I have the same issue (from herd-5).. I don't think it has crashed.. it just takes a really long time.

[02:58] <sabotai> maybe its protected
[02:59] <frojnd> sabotai: what file?
[02:59] <sabotai> frojnd: the wmv file might be protected
[02:59] <frojnd> saotai: no, cause friend of mine just watched this file
[02:59] <Mats> Anyone know how to get VLC to NOT open a new window for every song i click on...?
[03:00] <sabotai> frohnd: what  happens when u upen a wmv file?
[03:02] <robdeman> hi folks I just did a apt-get install phpmyadmin and it all worked.. but how do I access it? http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ doesnt do anything?
[03:02] <tuqann> anyone can help with ati card installation, I'm getting mesa drivers even after all the wiki instructions
[03:02] <Cyrus25801> what do i type if i want to edit my xorg.conf file with gedit
[03:02] <jrib> Cyrus25801: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:02] <Cyrus25801> cool thanx
[03:03] <CodeImp> hey folks
[03:03] <CodeImp> quick question here, downloaded feisty beta alternate setup cd
[03:03] <penguin> bah, i just installed beryl on edgy w/ ati, and i see the manager, but no beryl-ness :(
[03:03] <penguin> anyonw know why?
[03:03] <CodeImp> on boot it askes install in text mode or install in oem mode, among a few other options
[03:03] <jrib> penguin: did you select beryl as the window manager?
[03:04] <infidel> tuqann, http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[03:04] <penguin> that would help...
[03:04] <CodeImp> text mode/oem mode, is this only regarding the setup install or does it matter for what i want to install?
[03:04] <jrib> penguin: #ubuntu-effects can help more if it's a different issue
[03:04] <tuqann> infidel: it's an ATI
[03:05] <infidel> tuqann, did you opn the webpage?
[03:05] <tuqann> and I pretty much did everything on the wiki page, but I am still getting mesa
[03:05] <penguin> jrib - how do i select it as the window manager?
[03:05] <tuqann> infidel: loading, internet is a bit on and off
[03:05] <Mats> Anyone know how to change cpu frequency? If not, does anyone know of any channel that might be good for my question?
[03:05] <penguin> jrib - i dont see it under prefs or admin.
[03:05] <CodeImp> what do the "Install in text mode" and "Install in OEM mode" options mean at the feisty beta alternate boot CD?
[03:05] <jrib> penguin: do you have the red diamond in your notifications area?
[03:06] <penguin> jrib - yes
[03:06] <jrib> penguin: right click on it > select window manager
[03:06] <foo> What's the command to reconfigure the network?
[03:06] <Cosmonaut3030> Mats: There's a gnome applet that comes with it, I think...?
[03:07] <infidel> foo, ifconfig
[03:07] <foo> gah, doh, tahnks.
[03:07] <Mats> Cosmonaut3030: Hm? Which means?
[03:07] <penguin> jrib - just did so, but it does not do anything.
[03:07] <Cosmonaut3030> I think you should be able to set it on your Gnome panel?
[03:08] <jrib> penguin: k, #ubuntu-effects can probably troubleshoot more than
[03:08] <Mats> Hm? Like System-->preferences?
[03:08] <jrib> then even
[03:08] <Dhanjel> j #ubuntu-effects
[03:08] <penguin> jrib - thanks for your help, ill head over there.
[03:08] <CodeImp> what do the "Install in text mode" and "Install in OEM mode" options mean at the feisty beta alternate boot CD? Anyone who can give me a more elaborate description please?
[03:08] <Cosmonaut3030> Right click on your panel... I don't know, I haven't used GNOME in ages.
[03:08] <Cosmonaut3030> Sorry :(
[03:08] <xtknight> CodeImp: i dont know about the OEM.  the 'text mode' means it will use a text mode installer for installing a full Ubuntu desktop system
[03:08] <Antalmir> Hello
[03:09] <CodeImp> oh but it doesnt mean i get a non-graphical version of ubuntu installed?
[03:09] <Mats> Np Cosmonaut...gah..why can't there just be a button that says "CPU Settings" or something? :(
[03:09] <xtknight> CodeImp: no it does not mean that.  if you want that i believe it's 'install command line system' or 'install server'
[03:09] <CodeImp> no, i DO want a graphical version, thats why i feared choosing these options :P
[03:09] <CodeImp> thanks for the help :)
[03:11] <omeil> Can someone help me with open office?. i created an office document and created tables in it. i saved the file and then re opened it and there is no tables the information is just scattered every where? how do you make the tables stay?
[03:11] <xtknight> omeil: did you save it as openoffice format?
[03:12] <omeil> xtknight: didn't know it had a format :) i thought it was similar to ms offices .doc
[03:12] <xtknight> omeil: odt i think or sometihng like that
[03:12] <xtknight> wow somebody set 'no more joins' for
[03:12] <xtknight> a sec
[03:12] <xtknight> :O
[03:12] <deadeyez> hi all
[03:12] <xtknight> !hi
[03:12] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:12] <deadeyez> is it possible to use a proxy to install ubuntu?
[03:13] <xtknight> deadeyez: what do you mean by a proxy?
[03:13] <deadeyez> xtknight, I can't go on the internet without a proxy
[03:13] <Mats> Now when so many ppl joined I'll ask again: Anyone know how to change cpu frequency? If not, does anyone know of any channel that might be good for my question?
[03:13] <xtknight> deadeyez: ubuntu doesn't usually use the Internet to install
[03:13] <deadeyez> why does it asks for the mirror server then?
[03:14] <Neo1ite> hi, can anyone tell me how to completly reinstall ubuntu6,06
[03:14] <xtknight> deadeyez: it does ?
[03:14] <taraksias> hello how can i install Ubuntu 7.04 beta?? i have already install ubuntu 6.10 for amd64
[03:14] <xtknight> deadeyez: are you talking about post-install ?
[03:14] <deadeyez> and how can I set it not to use the internet at all
[03:14] <ProN00b> anyone else switching from ubuntu to xubuntu on feisty ?
[03:14] <deadeyez> xtknight, no, I just put in the disk an it gives me a screen where I should give the mirror server
[03:14] <omeil> xtknight, yeah its odt :) works now.
[03:14] <xtknight> omeil: but doc didn't store the table correctly?  or were you using some primitive format?
[03:14] <CodeImp> taraksias: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades
[03:15] <xtknight> !feisty | taraksias
[03:15] <ubotu> taraksias: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007. Beta is out! http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu704Beta Schedule: !schedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help and support in #ubuntu+1 (NOT #ubuntu)
[03:15] <SnakePlisken> Mats...in BIOS
[03:15] <omeil> xtknight, nope .doc didn't store the table
[03:15] <xtknight> omeil: eh?  may want to file a bug, that doesn't seem right
[03:15] <xtknight> omeil: open office is supposed to be very compatible with doc from what i know
[03:15] <omeil> xtknight, thats what i though :(. lemme create a new .doc file and create a table and save and see what happens
[03:15] <Neo1ite> hi, can anyone tell me how to completly reinstall ubuntu6.06?
[03:16] <xtknight> deadeyez: where is it asking the mirror server?  at install?  if so, what stage of it?
[03:16] <deadeyez> xtknight, first stage
[03:16] <deadeyez> after configuring network
[03:16] <xtknight> deadeyez: ah, ok
[03:16] <xtknight> deadeyez: which exact CD/dvd image did you get?
[03:16] <deadeyez> I do not now for shure... I think 6.06
[03:17] <xtknight> deadeyez: i would verify the disc via MD5sum or run the verify thing on the CD.  to my knowledge it should not be asking for a mirror server during install.  although i believe ubuntu is based on debian which should have proxy options in the base-installer setup
[03:17] <xtknight> deadeyez: this is text mode or livecd mode installer?
[03:17] <deadeyez> textmode
[03:18] <deadeyez> xtknight, textmode
[03:18] <omeil> xtknight, oh i see whats wrong here. i created a new file and named it .doc and ran it. seems like that the file that u create has to be saved as a doc file from open office to work properly. it must write some MS office code in it.
[03:18] <xtknight> deadeyez: alright i really dont know.  are you able to get to a master menu anywhere?  like by pressing ESC a couple times or by pressing back or something?  there should eventually appear a big master list with about 20 items in it, including 'configure base install'
[03:19] <xtknight> deadeyez: from that master menu you may be able to access some proxy settings it would have not normally asked, like by pressing configure network.
[03:19] <xtknight> deadeyez: is there a reason you're not using the LiveCD, actually?
[03:19] <deadeyez> xtknight, yes I can go to the master menu
[03:19] <skar> hi, i've a ubuntu machine on the network, how do i remote login into the X on this machine?
[03:19] <deadeyez> but no configure base install:s
[03:19] <xtknight> deadeyez: so do you have it up right now on a different pc?
[03:20] <xtknight> omeil: ahh ok
[03:20] <deadeyez> xtknight, I just dont want to use the livecd:p
[03:21] <xtknight> deadeyez: ah k.  do you have the master menu up on a different PC right now where you could tell me the menu items or were you just going from memory?
[03:21] <skar> hi, i've a ubuntu machine on the network, how do i remote login into the X on this machine from my desktop ubuntu?
[03:21] <xtknight> skar: is it gnome ubuntu?
[03:21] <skar> yes
[03:21] <xtknight> skar: do you want an actual remote login or do you just want to share the X session?
[03:21] <omeil> my printer works so fast in ubuntu :D, in XP it takes like 1-2 minutes for the printer to decide printing in ubuntu it takes 6 seconds :D (I timed it lol...i was surpised :D)
[03:21] <deadeyez> xtknight, I dont get what you mean:) but I am now looking for a manual network configuration
[03:22] <shafto> You guys know the linux drivers in the ubuntu wiki, can they run games okay?
[03:22] <xtknight> deadeyez: i mean, do you have the menu up RIGHT NOW on a different PC?
[03:22] <Ariba> Hi, I have just installed ubuntu 6.10 on a new PC. Boot up time +7min. Is there anyone that kan help me find the problem?
[03:22] <deadeyez> yes
[03:22] <xtknight> ok :)
[03:22] <Jowi> skar, either by xdmcp (set it up in gdmsetup) or via ssh. "ssh user@machine -X"
[03:22] <deadeyez> xtknight, yes I have
[03:22] <omeil> shafto, you talking about the Ati or nvidia drivers?
[03:22] <deadeyez> xtknight, but no proxy configuration is possible in the menu
[03:22] <shafto> omeil, Sorry, the Nvidia ones
[03:23] <StoneNote> !freenx | skar
[03:23] <sabiancra> Temps cannot be colder than absolute 0. (-459.67F)
[03:23] <ubotu> skar: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[03:23] <omeil> shafto, yup they woikin good :). they run games, well really the card works as good as xp. the only downside it game compatability in linux :)
[03:23] <xtknight> deadeyez: i am pretty sure there's a way somehow to make it use a proxy.  although i wonder what's going on because it should not be asking for a server
[03:23] <jrib> sabiancra: please stop saying that
[03:24] <shafto> omeil, the ones you install direct from synaptic?
[03:24] <xtknight> in other news the sun comes up in the morning
[03:24] <xtknight> wth..
[03:24] <albacker> whats the minimal memory needed to enter the LIVECD ?!
[03:24] <Fuzzy76> Anyone know of a way to obtain a list of manually installed packages? I tried setting up a Synaptic filter, but couldn't get it to work as intended...
[03:24] <penguin> hmmm, if i installed wine, could i run games off of my NTFS partition with ntfs-g3?
[03:24] <Jowi> albacker, 192MB I believe
[03:24] <albacker> Jowi, thnx
[03:24] <omeil> !nvidia, shafto
[03:24] <xtknight> penguin: yes
[03:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia, shafto - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:24] <penguin> xtknight, thanks
[03:24] <skar> xtknight: whats the difference between remote login and sharing x session(forgive my dumbness)
[03:24] <xtknight> penguin: potentially, it shouldn't be any more trouble with ntfs
[03:24] <omeil> !Nvidia, shafto
[03:25] <penguin> xtknight, k
[03:25] <shafto> omeil, Yeah i know them, are they the ones that run okay?
[03:25] <omeil> oops lol
[03:25] <skar> StoneNote: thanks for the freenx pointer, what i'd prefer is to run a gnome app on the network machine and view it from my ubuntu dekstop
[03:25] <omeil> shafto, yeah.
[03:25] <xtknight> skar: well what exactly do you want to do?  set up a multi user environment?  or, have the ability to control your desktop from elsewhere.....?
[03:25] <shafto> !nvidia
[03:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:25] <tuqann> infidel: I've installed the ENVY installer, but it throws an error about being unable to remove some files and some md checksum, and exits without doing anything, any ideas?
[03:25] <skar> Jowi: what does xdcmp or -X do?
[03:25] <eth01> can some1 check my /etc/network/interfaces conf? my internet wont work
[03:25] <omeil> shafto, you can use the envy installer but manually works also.
[03:26] <rambo3> remote X desktop
[03:26] <StoneNote> skar, I can run a gnome x window session over freenx. but good luck finding what you're looking for
[03:26] <skar> xtknight: i want to run some gui apps on the network machine but want to view those from my ubuntu desktop
[03:26] <shafto> omeil, I mean the drivers that are the nvidia-glx inside synaptic?
[03:26] <Jowi> skar, ssh -X will simply let you login to the remote computer. then you can run an application from there and it will show up on your local machine. "-X" is xforwarding
[03:26] <xtknight> skar: ok, so basically SSHing into your X server and being able to run stuff from there.. i dont know the best way to do it
[03:26] <eth01> can some1 check my /etc/network/interfaces conf? my internet wont work
[03:26] <Cyrus25801> i am trying to edit my xorg.conf file with gedit but it keeps telling me premission denied
[03:27] <xtknight> like Jowi said is what first came to my mind
[03:27] <xtknight> there's also 'thin clients'
[03:27] <shafto> omeil, I mean the drivers that are the nvidia-glx inside synaptic?
[03:27] <omeil> shafto, yeah, those are the ones the guide tells you to install right?, thats what i got and it works fine
[03:27] <shafto> omeil, okay :)
[03:27] <skar> StoneNote: ok i don't need remote gui login, as that'd mean i can't alt+tab between my firefox browser on my desktop and the gui html editor on the network machine
[03:27] <penguin> Cyrus25801, gksduo gedit filepath
[03:27] <xtknight> Cyrus25801: you need to use root permissions.  type 'gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' instead
[03:27] <shafto> omeil, Do you run games on them?
[03:27] <trond> Cyrus25801: sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:27] <Jowi> skar, xdmcp/freenx will give you the full desktop, taskbars, themes etc
[03:27] <Jowi> skar, I think ssh will suite you better.
[03:27] <Cyrus25801> xtknight: i have done that and it still tells me the same
[03:28] <skar> Jowi: so can i run gui apps on the remote machine and view them on my desktop ubuntu?
[03:28] <xtknight> Cyrus25801: close every gedit window you have open currently, and try the gksudo gedit command once again
[03:28] <Jowi> skar, yep. that's exactly what it does.
[03:28] <Xif> How do I insert a unicode character?
[03:29] <skar> Jowi: thanks, so "ssh user@ip -X" does this ?
[03:29] <tuqann> anyone help with ATI driver configuration, I have everything installed but I still have mesa drivers running
[03:29] <xtknight> Xif: into which program?
[03:29] <penguin> can anyone here help me with beryl, #ubuntu-effects is dead atm.
[03:29] <xtknight> penguin: try #beryl but i can try
[03:29] <Xif> xtknight: let's say Firefox?
[03:29] <Cyrus25801> xtknight: it says "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."
[03:29] <xtknight> Xif: ehh i have no idea actually
[03:29] <omeil> shafto, umm i run WoW and Steam with wine and it works really good. and i got some native linux games like Quake 3, Quake 4, NWN, Savage, RTCW Enemy territory, Tibia and a VBA emulator :D
[03:29] <xtknight> Cyrus25801: weird.
[03:29] <jrib> Xif: ctrl-shift u
[03:29] <xtknight> omeil: vba, is that visual basic for applications?
[03:29] <Jowi> skar, for example: "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-X" will give me a login prompt on the remote machine. I login, type "firefox &" and it will start firefox on the remote machine but displaying it on my screen.
[03:29] <shafto> omeil, Thats all i needed to know, thanks :)
[03:30] <Xif> jrib: doesn't work :(
[03:30] <xtknight> Cyrus25801: when did it show that?
[03:30] <Jowi> skar, that user must exist on the remote machine of course
[03:30] <skar> Jowi:cool thats what i want, thanks a lot :)
[03:30] <jrib> Xif: what version of ubuntu?
[03:30] <Xif> jrib: Edgy
[03:30] <omeil> xtknight, no VBA Express a Gameboy Advanced Emulator, Visual Basic for Linux is Gambas
[03:30] <penguin> xtknight, i have beryl as my window manager, and metacity (gnome) as by backup, and whenever i switch to beryl as my window manager and have the "fall back to other window manager if beryl crashes" checked, it reverts to metacity, as if beryl is crashing, but i do not get an error or such.
[03:30] <Cyrus25801> xtknight:  when i type this: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:30] <xtknight> omeil: ahh neat
[03:30] <mallow23> Im running edgy eft and it wont let me log in . . . every time I try it just puts me back at gdm
[03:31] <jrib> Xif: it should work, or at least did work in GNOME for me.  How about just use the character map in your accessories menu?
[03:31] <tuqann> anyone can help set up an ati card? I have everything installed but fglrx still shows me mesa for drivers
[03:31] <xtknight> penguin: weird, what happens if you manually start beryl from the command line?  try to find an error log somehow, i suppose
[03:31] <omeil> xtknight, although, i created a couple of visual basic apps with gambas but never worked at other ubuntu people's end. which was a waste of time lol :D, now im learning python
[03:31] <krod_> Hi, How would I go about upgrading to the recent version of ubuntu?
[03:31] <foo> sudo: unable to lookup hostname  via gethostbyname() ... err, I changed the hostname via hostname newhostname and in /etc/hostname... but I forgot /etc/hosts. Anyway to fix this without physical access to the box?
[03:31] <omeil> krod_, runs fine here :)
[03:31] <jrib> foo: do you have a root password set?
[03:31] <xtknight> foo: weird, did you chroot or something?
[03:32] <penguin> xtknight, what would the command be?
[03:32] <xtknight> omeil: heh gambas never worked on my 64bit machine
[03:32] <xtknight> the pkg is broken in edgy/amd64
[03:32] <omeil> ah
[03:32] <foo> jrib: Fresh install
[03:32] <penguin> nvm.
[03:32] <xtknight> penguin: uhh 'beryl' i think, or perhaps 'beryl-manager'
[03:32] <foo> xtknight: No, not weird either... I've come across this before
[03:32] <krod_> Um, it really wasn't a question of if it worked ;)
[03:32] <jrib> foo: not a simple way that I can think of
[03:32] <krod_> I am using an out of date ubuntu version and would like to upgrade
[03:32] <Xif> jrib: sorry, it actually works :)
[03:32] <xtknight> Cyrus25801: try restarting your X session?
[03:32] <foo> jrib: err, what do I have to do - reboot and get into the recovery?
[03:32] <omeil> xtknight, i can't seem to install the latest versions through source :( i just get some gb.qt can't be found. I wonder if that gambas 2 is any good
[03:33] <jrib> foo: yeah
[03:33] <xtknight> Cyrus25801: i dont know but something odd is going on, that would be the most reliable thing to do right now
[03:33] <shafto> For the nvidia drivers it asks to install 'linux-restricted-modules'. A search in synaptic brings back loads, which ones do i need for this driver?
[03:33] <foo> jrib: eh, what a pain. thanks.
[03:33] <xtknight> omeil: i had trouble compiling it too
[03:33] <omeil> because if i installed gambas 2 or update gambas it just stops working
[03:33] <jrib> foo: unless you have a session that still has the sudo timestamp
[03:33] <cliebow> krod_:fwiw i cd /etc/apt...sed -e 's/edgy/feisty/g' -i sources.list...sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade..takes several times thru to get it right
[03:33] <piotrusgit> hi all
[03:33] <Cyrus25801> xtknight: thanx
[03:33] <AnAnt> if I login on a domain using LDAP, will the home directory be stored on the client or the domain server ?
[03:33] <foo> jrib: ah, yeah, don't think so
[03:33] <tuqann> hi, anyone can help? setting up an already installed ati driver
[03:33] <shafto> !hi > dobby
[03:33] <mallow23> can somebody help me?   GDM will not let me log in.  My username/pass are ok, but it just boots me back to gdm login screen
[03:34] <omeil> xtknight, I am starting to like python tho :). It is quite boring with the console interface but meh :D
[03:34] <dobby> hi shafto
[03:34] <shafto> For the nvidia drivers it asks to install 'linux-restricted-modules'. A search in synaptic brings back loads, which ones do i need for this driver?
[03:34] <jrib> mallow23: is there enough free space on the partition your $HOME is on?
[03:34] <omeil> shafto: The guide should guide to which one you should select :)
[03:35] <shafto> omeil, Its like do i want the non free-ones or the free ones?
[03:35] <xtknight> omeil: found a good program for making gnome applets?
[03:35] <tony__> Where can i make aliases for the terminal?
[03:35] <xtknight> tony__: ~/.bashrc
[03:35] <omeil> shafto, now im confused :)
[03:35] <gabriel_> Do you know how syncronize evolution with pocket wm5 ?
[03:35] <krod_> is there some sort of aptitude command I can use to upgrade to the recent version of ubuntu?
[03:35] <tony__> thanks
[03:36] <jrib> !upgrade > krod_    (krod_, see the private message from ubotu)
[03:36] <xtknight> krod_: dist-upgrade along with changing your sources.list.  updatemanager -c is recommended
[03:36] <xtknight> gabriel_: what is a WM5?
[03:36] <krod_> thanks
[03:36] <omeil> xtknight, well the python programming language is highly supported by Unix systems. many of our free software is written in Python.
[03:36] <shafto> omeil, well you search 'linux-restricted-modules' in synaptic and look
[03:36] <omeil> yup
[03:37] <tuqann> anyone can help here?
[03:37] <xtknight> !anyone | tuqann
[03:37] <ubotu> tuqann: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:37] <gunnarsigf> is there anyone here who can assist me? I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm having a few difficulties
[03:37] <xtknight> !anyone | gunnarsigf
[03:37] <ubotu> gunnarsigf: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:37] <mallow23> jrib: I didnt think that was the problem . . . usually when that happens there is a warning telling me there isnt enough space, but now it just boots me back to gdm
[03:37] <mallow23> I will re-try again now
[03:37] <tony__> xtknight, do i have to relogin for the changes to take affect?
[03:37] <krod_> "Your distribution is no longer supported"
[03:37] <kuchcha> Hello room
[03:38] <xtknight> tony__: you have to start a new bash
[03:38] <jrib> mallow23: k, check anyway.  If that isn't the issue, check permissions, especially on ~/.Xauthority and ~/.ICEauthority
[03:38] <carrasco> gunnarsigf, hi, what's the problem?
[03:38] <kuchcha> i have a video file and i have to delete the last ten minutes of this one...
[03:38] <kuchcha> and this file is around 700MB
[03:38] <lito> #Chile
[03:38] <tony__> xtknight, great, thanks :)
[03:38] <kuchcha> wats de best tool on ubuntu :-?
[03:38] <xtknight> kuchcha: the software to do it would be mencoder, but it's a fairly complex program requiring a lot of options.  i dont know off the top of my head how to do exactly what you're asking
[03:38] <omeil> shafto, i have the non free ones listed. although dosen't make sense :) the modules are free :)
[03:38] <tuqann> I followed tutorial instructions, asked the question on the channel before and still getting the mesa drivers, which is causing my system to halt whenever I shutdown or restart, I'm asking if anyone knows what configs I have to do to get rid of Mesa and get ATI drivers running instead
[03:39] <xtknight> !ati | tuqann
[03:39] <ubotu> tuqann: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:39] <gabriel_> Windows mobile 5
[03:39] <xtknight> hmm
[03:39] <xtknight> sorry didn't see that you had already done it
[03:39] <xtknight> gabriel_: do you know what processor is inside of it?
[03:39] <xtknight> tuqann: are the ati drivers not working?
[03:40] <xtknight> tuqann: do they not work at all or does direct rendering not show up under ati?
[03:40] <omeil> tuqann: so you installed the drivers for your ati card?
[03:40] <kuchcha> xtknight: thanks...let me explain my problem in detail.....i have this movie file which is 702.7MB but my CD can take only 700 MB...so i have to get rid of the last 10mins or so of credits/cast etc....
[03:40] <gabriel_> The pocket is an htc tytn
[03:40] <gabriel_> I ll look the processor. One moment please
[03:40] <xtknight> kuchcha: you could always try overburn which would VERY likely be able to write a couple more megs.  but if you want to trim the last few bytes let me see if i can find a tutorial
[03:41] <tuqann> evrything looks fine, but whenver I shutdown my system halts and stops responding, also the startup splash loads but when the bar is done loading the splash goes all pixy before the login screen loads up correctly
[03:41] <shafto> omeil, Can you remember which ones you selected when you installed the drivers or did you not touch them?
[03:41] <xtknight> kuchcha: http://www.misterhowto.com/index.php?category=Computers&subcategory=Video&article=trim_or_split_with_mencoder
[03:41] <K-Dogg> ....
[03:41] <gunnarsigf> I'm having difficulties connecting to a wireless network, help anyone?
[03:41] <omeil> shafto, I just installed the ones that met the specification to the uname -r im running
[03:41] <K-Dogg> Mornign every one
[03:41] <xtknight> tuqann: and this is happening with Vesa?  please answer the above questions
[03:42] <omeil> xtknight, does ati get a splash screen? im just not sure
[03:42] <carrasco> gunnarsigf, speak details of conexion
[03:42] <IdleOne> why is k3b telling me that my .mp3's are unsupported?
[03:42] <xtknight> omeil:  i dont believe ati does
[03:43] <xtknight> !restricted-formats | IdleOne
[03:43] <tuqann> I really don't know how to test for "direct rendering", but the x-session runs smoothly, no dust on that, my system runs fine like it used to with Dapper (though my move to Edgy is not an upgrade it's a fresh install) only I can't shutdown or restart
[03:43] <gunnarsigf> I'm using KWiFi Manager and it seems to find the wireless connection but I can't connect to it
[03:43] <IdleOne> xtknight, I have all the codecs installed
[03:43] <Stormx2> Hey folks. Under edgy, firefox has an inline spell checker. Can I extend this to the entire document (paragraphs and all)?
[03:43] <omeil> tuqann: how does glx-gears run?
[03:43] <gabriel_> Samsung 2442 400MHz
[03:43] <xtknight> tuqann: type "glxinfo | grep rendering"  and see if it says Yes or No
[03:44] <makki> how can i mount ext3 partition in ubuntu?
[03:44] <tuqann> no direct rending
[03:44] <carrasco> tuqann, to test direct rendering, type :   glxinfo | grep rendering
[03:44] <xtknight> gabriel_: apparently it is possible http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/index.php?showtopic=12829
[03:44] <xtknight> makki: easily
[03:44] <rickyfingers> makki: just type sudo mount /dev/hdwhatever /directory-u-want-to-mount-to
[03:45] <omeil> tuqann: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and check if drive is "ati"
[03:45] <omeil> driver*
[03:45] <xtknight> tuqann: are you running the ati drivers right now?  "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep fglrx"
[03:45] <omeil> or that lol :)
[03:45] <xtknight> ati/radeon is the open source, fglrx is closed source
[03:46] <xtknight> Stormx2: what do you mean the entire doc?
[03:46] <tuqann> Section "Device"
[03:46] <xtknight> Stormx2: firefox should be checking the whole text box

[03:46] <Stormx2> xtknight: I don't want it limited to text box. I'm designing something in XHTML...
[03:46] <tuqann> sorry
[03:46] <omeil> That looks right
[03:46] <xtknight> tuqann: ok you are using the slow open source one right now.  but you said you had trouble shutting down, why did you think it was the video driver?
[03:46] <tuqann> I'll use that
[03:47] <xtknight> Stormx2: oh.  hmm i dont know many Composer can do it?
[03:47] <tuqann> I asked on the chan, and someone mentioned it is a graphic problem
[03:47] <NkZ> Greetings, Is there any specialized channel on "GDesklets"?
[03:47] <kuchcha> xtknight: thanks a lot man :)
[03:47] <xtknight> tuqann: ok we can try.  you have followed these instructions?
[03:47] <xtknight> !ati|tuqann
[03:47] <ubotu> tuqann: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:47] <omeil> shafto, hows things?
[03:47] <xtknight> NkZ: not that i know of, try asking here
[03:47] <tuqann> I did the BinaryHowTo to the letter, still getting "mesa" whenever I type fglrxinfo in the terminal
[03:48] <xtknight> tuqann: is it any slower with Mesa/FGLRX than with ATI?
[03:48] <xtknight> tuqann: and even though it's mesa, does it solve your shutdown issues?
[03:48] <shinichizio> Hello! Is it permissible to ask questions about something not EXACTLY Ubuntu-related, but just a program in the basic package?
[03:48] <xtknight> shinichizio: certainly
[03:49] <tuqann> xtknight: whct do you think is my shutdown problem?
[03:49] <xtknight> tuqann: i have absolutely no idea, sadly
[03:49] <xtknight> tuqann: but do the fglrx drivers fix it..?
[03:49] <NkZ> Okay. In that case, My Problem is this: Every time I run Gdesklets, The Desklets I activate start taking up spaces on the Panel's "Window List". How can I prevent this from happening.
[03:49] <gabriel_> thanks. I ll try
[03:49] <xtknight> NkZ: hmm.  is there an offset you can set anywhere for the allowable desk size in the options?
[03:49] <shinichizio> I'm on a dial-up connection, using 'Gnome-PPP'. I want to somehow either be notified or just have my connection drop any time I get a call on this line. How do I do this?
[03:50] <tuqann> xtknight: I really don't know if the fglrx drivers would fix it, but I'm attempting to set them up and check if my shutdown problems would be solved, I seem to miss a step that keeps using the mesa drivers instead of the ATI, mine is an x700 mobile
[03:50] <NkZ> XtKnight: I didn't quite understand that question.
[03:50] <xtknight> tuqann: but you typed fglrxinfo and said there was mesa...implying you had tried fglrx.  otherwise you wouldnt have fglrxinfo right?
[03:51] <xtknight> NkZ: well i was thinking you could adjust the viewport of the gdesklets to push them off the panel
[03:51] <xtknight> NkZ: like set a pixel offset of -30 or so so it misses the panel
[03:51] <omeil> xtknight, you know VB?
[03:51] <xtknight> omeil: inside and out yeah hehe
[03:51] <NkZ> xtKnight: That's awesomely clever. I will try that one out.
[03:52] <omeil> xtknight, lol :) whats the latest thing u created?
[03:52] <tuqann> xtknight: yes, I installed fglrx, first I installed an ati-driver.run from the ATI website, then I installed using the method in the !ati tutorial, but nothing changed yet when the shutdown
[03:52] <xtknight> omeil: mostly data processing stuff, i do vba for work
[03:52] <xtknight> omeil: from within vmware actually
[03:52] <xtknight> omeil: mostly stuff for transportation (car crashes/etc).  i suppose we should take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:53] <xtknight> tuqann: i just need to know if you ever had the fglrx drivers running though
[03:53] <gunnarsigf> My screen is 1280x800 px (video-card: ATI Mobility Radeon X1600) but I don't know how to change my screen resolution because now it is 1024x768
[03:54] <xtknight> !resolution | gunnarsigf
[03:54] <ubotu> gunnarsigf: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:54] <shinichizio> :| So, asking about Gnome-PPP != permissible. Righto.
[03:54] <gunnarsigf> thanks
[03:54] <xtknight> shinichizio: noone said that
[03:54] <xtknight> shinichizio: nobody knows the answer
[03:54] <shinichizio> xtknight: oh. heh.
[03:54] <tuqann> xtknight: I'm typing gflrxinfo in the terminal and I'm getting "command not found", though I could have sworn it worked before
[03:54] <xtknight> shinichizio: try #linux or #debian
[03:54] <cyt> I can play mpeg file with sound on, but when viewing rm/rmvb file, the sound is off, even if I don't mute. Any suggestions?
[03:55] <shinichizio> xtknight: I see. Thanks, I'll stop wasting your time here.
[03:55] <xtknight> tuqann: ok well then i guess you did have them loaded at one point.  that's what i was woneirng
[03:55] <NkZ> xtKnight: That did the Job, Thanks for the Suggestion. :-)
[03:55] <xtknight> NkZ: cool
[03:55] <NkZ> See yas around !

[03:55] <drummer1189> could someone help me?
[03:56] <xtknight> ask your question
[03:56] <drummer1189> well
[03:56] <hungar> Hi, is it possible to "simulate" a reboot. Im planing to reboot my server but im not sure it will boot and im about 2000 miles from the server and the technichans are not at the spot right now.
[03:56] <drummer1189> im trying to follow thing how to
[03:56] <drummer1189> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092&highlight=e1505
[03:56] <xtknight> hungar: well not really.  but if there's something specific you need to reboot you can just reboot that
[03:56] <drummer1189> i got throught it
[03:56] <jetscreamer> hungar: iirc yes, man shutdown
[03:57] <drummer1189> and it says software found, hardware found
[03:57] <jrib> !enter | drummer1189
[03:57] <ubotu> drummer1189: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:57] <hungar> xtknight: want to make sure everything works fine.
[03:57] <hungar> jetscreamer: well... i don't want to warn anyone
[03:57] <drummer1189> sure
[03:57] <hungar> i want to make sure a "reboot" works fine
[03:57] <jetscreamer> -k     Don't  really shutdown; only send the warning messages to everybody... mmm maybe not
[03:57] <hungar> you missunderstand me
[03:57] <hungar> jetscreamer: i want to make sure my server boots when im rebooting
[03:58] <hungar> without accully doing it.
[03:58] <PriceChild> hungar, only thing you "NEED" to reboot for is to switch kernel... which will lchange pretty soon.
[03:58] <hungar> so it won't fail when i reboot
[03:58] <xtknight> hungar:  you pretty much need to reboot to test if a reboot works
[03:58] <hungar> PriceChild: well... i want to know if the server will fail or not.
[03:58] <PriceChild> hungar, well then yeah, only one way to know ;)
[03:58] <hungar> :/
[03:59] <sluimers> Hi, where can I find better drivers for an Intel video media-accelerator 900, 128 MB?
[03:59] <drummer1189> however the light never turned on and wireless isnt even listen in the wired, wireless, modem. i did have one problem with the sudo make stuff but that was the only problem and i install ndiswrapper through sudo apt-get install
[03:59] <jetscreamer> hungar: maybe changing runlevel might tell you what you want to know... might not
[04:00] <xtknight> !intel
[04:00] <dr_wu> Does anyone here use the Google Calendar daemon GCALDaemon?
[04:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:00] <sluimers> !intel
[04:00] <xtknight> sluimers: i think there are some on intel's site though they aren't very easy to install
[04:00] <xtknight> drummer1189: we'd need to know the problem you had with sudo make, as it could have been fatal
[04:01] <drummer1189> No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[04:01] <xtknight> slight problem
[04:01] <xtknight> :P
[04:01] <xtknight> drummer1189: where are you typing make?
[04:01] <drummer1189> terminal
[04:01] <tuqann> xtknight: I have DISABLED_MODULES="fglrx| in the linux-restricted-modules-common, is that correct?
[04:02] <drummer1189> i dont think thats the right error though
[04:02] <xtknight> tuqann: eh?  i guess so.  it sounds like you're disabling the built-in fglrx, and that sounds right to me if you're trying drivers off ati.com
[04:02] <drummer1189> let me run throught it one more time
[04:02] <xtknight> drummer1189: sounds good
[04:02] <drummer1189> well, i installed ndiswrapper through sudo apt-get install
[04:03] <drummer1189> i dont know what directory it extracted to which is probably why it didnt work

[04:08] <waxyfresh> anyone elsehere use listen music player?i dont but the icon just randomly added itself tomy taskbar,why did it do that
[04:08] <oopsy> hey
[04:08] <oopsy> can anyone help me out?

[04:08] <oopsy> I finally got my wireless connection working on dapper
[04:08] <StanRex> hi there
[04:08] <drummer1189> i dont need help with the wireless, its all in the howto im just a noob
[04:08] <Paddy_EIRE> waxyfresh, did you install it with Automatix
[04:08] <StanRex> if I have questions for 6.10 where should I ask them?
[04:08] <compengi> StanRex, here :)
[04:08] <oopsy> StanRex, here I believe
[04:08] <StanRex> cool, thanks ^^
[04:09] <oopsy> I only have 11mb/s in my wireless connection
[04:09] <waxyfresh> Paddy_EIRE: like 3 weeks ago and havent touched it
[04:09] <oopsy> isn't there a way to make it bigger, like the 54mb/s I had in windows?
[04:10] <StanRex> er, well, I just burnt a cd with 6.10, rebooted with the cd in the drive, selected install, it loaded for 1 or 2 minutes, and then my screen displayed something like "unsupported mode", and went off
[04:10] <Paddy_EIRE> waxyfresh, then automatix must be to blame, and is not supported by these channels! as I found out
[04:10] <FordCapri> i've got a bunch of diffed tars, do i just untar one over the other starting with the earliest?
[04:10] <waxyfresh> oopsy: your signal shouldent be dependent on you os unless the drivers are bunk
[04:11] <oopsy> hum bunk? o.o
[04:11] <StanRex> I m wondering if it could be because I have two hd in raid0, and a windows install on the first partition
[04:11] <oopsy> I can't use the network manager in administration
[04:11] <oopsy> when I configure my ra0 there
[04:11] <oopsy> ubuntu just won't boot
[04:12] <oopsy> so im using wifi radar
[04:12] <rambo3> whatfor
[04:13] <StanRex> oopsy, what do you mean by ra0?
[04:13] <spiderworm> can anyone tell me how to remove a package that could not fully install, only partially installed, so that it doesnt cause apt to choke everytime it tries to do something?
[04:13] <finalbeta> oopsy: if you have a bcm43xx chip and using native drivers it will only work at 11Mbit, NDiswrapper can go faster I believe, and this seems fixed in Feisty because it uses the new wireless stack.
[04:13] <bulmer> oopsy: you tried iwlist ra0 featurehere ?
[04:13] <oopsy> it seems I fixed it :D
[04:13] <oopsy> i used
[04:13] <oopsy> sudo iwconfig ra0 rate 54M auto
[04:13] <oopsy> and then when I type iwconfig
[04:13] <bulmer> there you go
[04:13] <oopsy> it shows 54mb/s there
[04:14] <oopsy> thanks everyone. :D
[04:14] <bulmer> congrats
[04:15] <StanRex> it seems that I need the alternate cd to install ubuntu on a raid0 system
[04:15] <rambo3> dselect is evil
[04:15] <jetscreamer> yeah everybody sayis that
[04:15] <jetscreamer> says
[04:16] <StanRex> huh
[04:16] <StanRex> I cant find the alternate cd in the download pages
[04:16] <rambo3> choose other options
[04:16] <StanRex> does anyone know if it somehow disappeared?
[04:16] <Paddy_EIRE> is there an irc channel for Linux Mint
[04:16] <ompaul> StanRex, yeap: or a server one: http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html
[04:17] <oopsy> humm
[04:17] <ompaul> StanRex, the cd you get buy going to a mirror and looking for it
[04:17] <oopsy> downloads are still kinda slow, but browsing seems to be at full speed
[04:17] <oopsy> should I reboot?
[04:17] <StanRex> ok, thanks ompaul, will try this
[04:17] <rambo3> StanRex, http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/downloadmirrors
[04:17] <oopsy> brb
[04:17] <bulmer> save the configs before you reboot

[04:19] <Paddy_EIRE> when will feisty be ready?
[04:19] <StanRex> yup, found it, thanks guys
[04:20] <Heywood> hey, anyone around?
[04:20] <Paddy_EIRE> no
[04:20] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[04:20] <Tallen> no, all 1059 users are away.
[04:20] <Heywood> haha, I'm a tard....
[04:21] <Heywood> I have a quick question I was hoping someone could help me with. Well, maybe not so quick....
[04:21] <xtknight> please people save us the emotional stuff just ask the question!
[04:21] <xtknight> that's ok i'd rather have somebody ask how to take over the world with ubuntu than ask to ask :P
[04:21] <Paddy_EIRE> now that would be cool
[04:22] <Heywood> haha, okay. First off, I'm a complete Linux/Ubuntu noob. I just downloaded Ubuntu 704 beta and burned it onto a CD, and when I restart my computer and boot from CD, it gets to the Ubuntu loading screen, and then just freezes
[04:22] <xtknight> Heywood: wait...noob...7.04.  ok why did you install that instead of edgy if i may ask?
[04:22] <Martin__> hola
[04:22] <rambo3> can you import #debian 's dpkg 's !fstab to ubotu instead ubotus
[04:23] <xtknight> !hi | Martin__
[04:23] <ubotu> Martin__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:23] <Paddy_EIRE> Heywood, did you do a checksum of the image, or run check disk when you boot the cd
[04:23] <Heywood> Well, when I tried to burn edgy onto a cd, it said not enough room on the CD, even though there clearly is...
[04:23] <Martin__> hi!
[04:23] <xtknight> Heywood: were you using a 700M cd?
[04:23] <Heywood> yeah
[04:23] <Paddy_EIRE> Heywood, what burning software did you use
[04:23] <Heywood> Alcohol 120
[04:23] <xtknight> odd.  well Feisty (7.04) support is in #ubuntu+1 and so am i so i may be able to help you there.  they dont like feisty questions in this channel
[04:24] <Heywood> alright, I'm already in that channel as well
[04:24] <rickyfingers> anyone know why I can't run firefox in chroot'd environment - getting cannot open display error but env shows display variable is set?
[04:24] <crayzee> ALSA works fine for playing music, but I have to close everything that uses it to use mythtv or unreal-tournament. Google says it might be something to do with "dmix",but I have tried lots of fixes to little avail. Any ideas? [AMD X2, ASUS M2N-SLI mobo with onboard NVidia sound]
[04:25] <crayzee> rickyfingers, XAuthority file?
[04:25] <rickyfingers> crayzee: env says "XAUTHORITY=/tmp/.gdmYJKZPT" do I have to delete it or something?
[04:26] <crayzee> Can you access that file from within the chroot?
[04:26] <crayzee> [can you read it]
[04:26] <rickyfingers> crayzee: let me check...
[04:26] <StanRex> huhu
[04:26] <StanRex> looks like I need to have access to the web to properly install raid0
[04:27] <rickyfingers> crayzee: a ha! no I cannot see it.  Do I need to copy it over?
[04:27] <StanRex> and I m connected with wifi...
[04:27] <crayzee> Sound is really choppy in unreal-tournament; how to fix?
[04:27] <crayzee> rickyfingers, I would try, that, yes. :)
[04:27] <rambo3> !info alsa-oss
[04:27] <ubotu> alsa-oss: ALSA wrapper for OSS applications. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.11-1 (edgy), package size 47 kB, installed size 216 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 alpha amd64 arm armeb hppa m32r m68k mips mipsel powerpc ppc64 s390 s390x sh3 sh3eb sh4 sh4eb sparc)
[04:27] <anacaona> hello all. i'm having problems with the mpage package. if i try to use it (even just help) it prints nothing but gobbledygook on the screen.
[04:28] <Broady> What's the command to unhide a folder
[04:28] <rickyfingers> crayzee: do I only have to copy it once, or like every time I start a new x session?
[04:28] <whyameye> what is the livecd build?
[04:28] <LjL> Broady: you mean folders whose names begin with a "."?
[04:28] <crayzee> rickyfingers, *shrug*
[04:28] <crayzee> rickyfingers, it was just a lucky guess, I dont do chrooting... :)
[04:28] <Broady> LjL: naw, this is in MacOS, i thought it'd be similar
[04:28] <xtknight> i don't believe you can make them unhidden.  if they begin with . they are hidden, if not they are viewable
[04:28] <Broady> but no, they dont have . in front
[04:29] <xtknight> but you can show hidden folders
[04:29] <Broady> even with ls they dont show... need ls -a
[04:29] <xtknight> Broady: is this an HFS+ file system?
[04:29] <rickyfingers> crayzee: I think your idea was correct, but I'm still getting the error.  Will google now.
[04:29] <LjL> Broady: i doubt it's similar, the only "standard" Unix way to have hidden files is prefixing a . (and they're hidden only to some extent really, it's not like a true "hidden" attribute)
[04:29] <Broady> xtknight: yes
[04:29] <xtknight> i think they come up in normal 'stat's etc, it's up to the program to hide .s
[04:30] <Broady> hm ok.
[04:30] <xtknight> Broady: they do not start with . yet they are hidden?  must be an HFS attribute, look up HFS tools
[04:30] <Broady> xtknight: thanks
[04:32] <StanRex> (back)
[04:32] <StanRex> apparently, feisty has a better support of raid0 than edgy
[04:32] <StanRex> would it be suicide for someone who never installed linux to try to install the feisty beta?
[04:33] <xtknight> StanRex: hardly, its' not like it's a volatile chemical substance
[04:33] <xtknight> StanRex: but the responsibility is with you ultimately
[04:33] <LjL> StanRex: it's not any harder than Edgy or Dapper - *if* it works. if there's some problems (which is likely since it's a beta), you'll be in trouble.
[04:33] <StanRex> (with a raid0 setup)
[04:33] <xtknight> starting with a beta isnt such a bad thing.  you will run into problems and learn to fix them
[04:33] <omeil> Ubuntu has come quite a long way. maybe its not such a bad beta
[04:33] <StanRex> (and a windows xp partition on it that I want to keep)
[04:33] <xtknight> you will have plenty of problems with regular ubuntu though probably :D
[04:34] <StanRex> mmm
[04:34] <xtknight> StanRex: well there was a bug in the partition manager a while ago where it wiped every partition on your system, but that has long been fixed.  i dont think that was feisty anyway but that's the most serious bug ive ever heard
[04:34] <matt____> what is this about feisty having built in virtualization?
[04:34] <LjL> omeil, i find it nice enough. but a beta of a wonderful program it's still a beta - it's *intended* as one...
[04:34] <xtknight> matt____: kvm in the kernel
[04:34] <matt____> xtknight: explain that..
[04:35] <omeil> but im gonna stick to edgy for a while :) ill go to fiesty when we have a release
[04:35] <xtknight> matt____: it uses the AMD Pacifica and Intel VT instructions in newer revs of amd athlon 64 and Intel Core 2 Duo/Xeon CPUs
[04:35] <xtknight> matt____: they allow more flexibility, like the ability to run Windows on Xen
[04:35] <LjL> matt____: the kernel -- if the CPU supports that -- exposes features that allow to recreate a superuser mode "virtual CPU" in userland.
[04:35] <xtknight> matt____: but the instructions as they stand do NOT increase performance
[04:35] <matt____> xtknight: so, what method would i go about it so i could install xp?
[04:35] <StanRex> mmmm
[04:35] <rossi777> halooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[04:35] <xtknight> xp in vmware is still faster than under KVM
[04:35] <StanRex> I think I ll just wait for a feisty release to install ubuntu
[04:36] <LjL> xtknight: how come?
[04:36] <xtknight> LjL: because the kvm instructions do not make it faster, they only do what you say
[04:36] <StanRex> and if raid0 works ok on this feisty release I'll install it
[04:36] <omeil> xtknight, how much mb is a .vmx file?
[04:36] <matt____> xtknight: i tried setting up vmware server in dapper, i had the hardest time, something about source code not in my kernel, i think. how hard will vmware server be to set up in feisty?
[04:36] <LjL> xtknight: *if* those instructions are available, they *should* increase performance, since the piece of code that would normally (i.e. under VMWare and friends) be executed by emulation (superuser code, etc) can be executed natively
[04:36] <xtknight> omeil: a vmx is next to nothing, that is just info for a virtual machine.  the virtual machine disk can be any size
[04:37] <xtknight> LjL: kqemu (kvm) doesn't have mouse drivers either so it feels slower than VMware ultimately
[04:37] <xtknight> sorry i should clarify.  kqemu is not relaly kvm, but kqemu w/ kvm
[04:37] <LjL> xtknight: kqemu = kvm? only if you don't have those instructions, i thought
[04:37] <LjL> i see
[04:37] <omeil> xtknight i just installed wm ware and a window opened tfor me to select a .vmx file?
[04:37] <brian_> Anyone know where I can get an ffmpeg package with the flv stuff built in? Having trouble compiling it myself.
[04:37] <xtknight> matt____: you just need linux-headers probably for source code
[04:37] <xtknight> matt____: other than that vmware is one of the easies things to install
[04:37] <omeil> vm
[04:37] <LjL> omeil: yes, you need to select a virtual machine
[04:37] <LjL> !vmware > omeil    (omeil, see the private message from Ubotu)
[04:37] <xtknight> omeil: you need to make one with VMWare sever
[04:38] <matt____> xtknight: ok, i will defiantly try that when i install feisty, coming out the 20th>?
[04:38] <LjL> xtknight: not necessarily...
[04:38] <LjL> !vmware
[04:38] <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
[04:38] <xtknight> ah yeah or download one
[04:38] <xtknight> ubuntu has some on their server too
[04:38] <Preserved> Anyone knows how to change the metadata on a fat32 disk?
[04:38] <LjL> and qemu can create images as well, then just write a config file
[04:38] <Martin__> can't sincronize mi tungete t5 in ubuntu
[04:38] <brian_> !ffmpeg
[04:38] <xtknight> LjL: the instructions actually decrease performance in most cases
[04:38] <ubotu> ffmpeg: multimedia player, server and encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 175 kB, installed size 612 kB
[04:39] <xtknight> LjL: the hardware 'accelerated' VT instructions are in most cases slower than the software equivalents, at least in VMware
[04:39] <LjL> xtknight: nah no need to download a ready made machine, you just need 1) a working config file 2) an empty HD image. easyvmx does that easily, or one can use qemu-image, if they're familiar with the config file syntax
[04:39] <xtknight> LjL: the VT instructions are, right now, to mainly increase flexibility.  you could not run windwos under Xen before due to some kernel limitation i believe.  VT alleviates that
[04:39] <LjL> xtknight: i see, then i suspect they're very poorly implemented in the current breed of CPU...
[04:39] <Preserved> I have a fat32 disk which has a directory that shows up as a file. If I am correctly informed the metadata is corrupt. How can I fix this?
[04:39] <xtknight> LjL: yup that's exactly the reason
[04:39] <xtknight> LjL: future ones may increase performance
[04:40] <LjL> xtknight: but then you could under VMWare, and i thought Xen's main advantage over VMWare was intended to be... speed ;)
[04:40] <xtknight> i thuoght so too, too bad Xen is a pain to setup :P
[04:40] <LjL> heh
[04:40] <xtknight> plus i dont like the idea
[04:40] <Tokimasa> I'm going to download Xubuntu for use as a Teamspeak server and NFS for a few friends on a P3 with 300-someodd gigs of RAM. Is this a good choice?
[04:40] <xtknight> vmware works fine for me, it is very fast in most cases.  wouldn't i need to run two virtual things under xen to have what i have now?
[04:40] <Pelo> Preserved,  search the forum for the exact error msg
[04:40] <xtknight> i would have to virtualize my linux too, blah ;O
[04:40] <rickyfingers> ubotu tell rickyfingers about chroot
[04:41] <MetaMorfoziS> how can i get my kernel boot flags ?
[04:41] <adaptr> by looking in your bootloader config ?
[04:41] <xtknight> MetaMorfoziS: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:41] <MetaMorfoziS> no, the problem is i don't know what i'm started
[04:41] <Preserved> Pelo: I don't get an error message. The directory just shows up as an regular file.
[04:41] <Tallen> ubotu tell Tallen about chroot
[04:41] <MetaMorfoziS> the recovery or the normal
[04:41] <xtknight> with a txt editor
[04:41] <MetaMorfoziS> in grub...
[04:41] <Pelo> Preserved,  then search the forum for what you think the problem is
[04:42] <MetalWolf> hi.  I just installed Ubuntu 6.10 server to play with.  I have since removed a network card and put another one in meaning I now have eth0, eth2.  I can not find the config file where I can change this... any ideas?
[04:42] <xtknight> MetalWolf: i think it's a file called "interfaces" but dont quote me
[04:42] <MetaMorfoziS> /etc/network/devices ?
[04:42] <rambo3> !info clamav edgy-backports
[04:42] <ubotu> Package clamav does not exist in edgy-backports
[04:42] <MetaMorfoziS> interfaces*
[04:43] <Pelo> MetalWolf, menu > system > admin > hardware manager ,  there is a button at the bottom that scans your system , try that
[04:43] <MetalWolf> I don't think you can specify inside that though MetaMorfoziS.
[04:43] <_charles> I need somehelp I am under time constraints due to my bandwidth being shaped in peek but not off peek times I am rushing to get the 64bit version of Edgy ubuntu I just have a question due to time constraints I will try to get as much installed before bed but tomorrow I am thinking about getting a nvidia video card for it will there be any problems changing it? or is it just plug and play?
[04:43] <omeil> xtknight, did u enable your direct x in vmware?
[04:43] <xtknight> omeil: i have tried, though wasnt able to do much with it
[04:43] <MetaMorfoziS> it's possible, then i don't kno
[04:43] <MetaMorfoziS> w
[04:43] <xtknight> is vmware 6 final out yet? anyone?
[04:43] <MetalWolf> Pelo - I have no gui.
[04:43] <xtknight> _charles: which nvidia card
[04:43] <Pelo> MetalWolf, give me a minute
[04:44] <atoponce> _charles: what nvidia card are you getting?
[04:44] <SirOsisOfTheLive> I want to use bash.  Is it the default for ubuntu 6.10? or do i have to change it.
[04:44] <xtknight> SirOsisOfTheLive: yes it is the default
[04:44] <Preserved> Pelo: The problem is that this problem is so specifik so the chance of it being on the forum is abyssmal and besides I have already tried that.
[04:44] <_charles> xtknight: i dont currently know, All i know is i am prepared to spend a few hundred on an agp nvidia card  i would be happy with the x800 in the computer but ati have shit drivers
[04:44] <atoponce> SirOsisOfTheLive: yes. bash is the default
[04:45] <xtknight> _charles: well if it's anything less than the 8800 it should work.  maybe even the 8800 works now
[04:45] <atoponce> !language | _charles
[04:45] <ubotu> _charles: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:45] <vox754> _charles, don't get the 64 bit version if you only need it as a desktop PC. The i386 version is better supported in terms of packages and video codecs and other stuff
[04:45] <Remo_A> hi, how can I create a .deb file out of a package.tar.gz that is not in the actual ubuntu repo, nor backport, and use it?

[04:45] <omeil> xtknight, so i have to insert my xp cd and install windows?
[04:45] <xtknight> omeil: yup
[04:46] <tts> hello all
[04:46] <omeil> screw that lol :) im at the state of lazyness
[04:46] <_charles> xtknight the computer mobo is agp and i would assume the card you referred to is PCIE so that shouldnt be a problem. Have you used the nvidia Drivers?? Do you think its worth the cash to change from ati to nvidia just for drivers?
[04:46] <xtknight> _charles: i do think it's worth it;.  i used to have ati, and i like nvidia w/ linux much better
[04:47] <xtknight> _charles: ati would always crash.  plus nvidia has better dual monitor support too
[04:47] <Remo_A> xtknight: that looks nice!
[04:47] <xtknight> Remo_A: yeah ive made several pkgs out of it
[04:47] <tts> i cant seen to get my grub working ,thing is i have only one drive installed "sata sda3"  dose grub have to be installed at (hd0) ? or can i install it at sda3 ?
[04:47] <xtknight> Remo_A: i edit the packages using GNU ar....simplest way for me, none of the debian stuff made much sense to me
[04:48] <Remo_A> *g okay
[04:48] <xtknight> tts: you can install grub anywhere you want but it will need to boot somehow
[04:48] <xtknight> tts: (hd0) is almost always the best option
[04:48] <xtknight> if it's not working there with only one HD i dont know what to say
[04:48] <MetalWolf> pelo : not to worry I'll just run with them out of sequence.
[04:48] <morpheus74> Hello.  I'm having some issues with the internet connection.  I installed 6.10 on my parents computer that has only a pci wireless card.  I was able to download all the updates, but when trying to 'surf the web' pages sometimes load, and sometimes will not.  Any ideas?
[04:49] <xtknight> morpheus74: maybe the wireless signal strength is poor
[04:49] <atoponce> morpheus74: sounds like the signal strength is bad
[04:49] <atoponce> morpheus74: maybe move the signal closer to the computer?
[04:49] <andre_pl> this is a feisty issue but no help there atm... i seem to have lost my nvidia module and i can't get it back. :( need some help, bigtime.
[04:49] <xtknight> or less likely, your DNS server is having problems, or less likely yet your network drivers have a bug
[04:49] <morpheus74> xtknight, I thought the same thing, but then I wondered why it would download the updates without issue.
[04:49] <chesney> Guys whats the best way to pull down the 1.6 j2re?
[04:49] <deetah> how to change the language of my server's system?
[04:49] <Pelo> afk
[04:50] <chesney> I can't seem to get apt-get to pull down java aything.
[04:50] <rambo3> deetah, locales or what
[04:50] <atoponce> chesney: off of the java.sun.com site directly
[04:50] <jetscreamer> dpkg-reconfigure locales && dpkg-reconfigure console-data maybe
[04:50] <bulmer> chesney: you can always download from sun's site
[04:50] <rambo3> i think its locale.conf now
[04:50] <chesney> bulmer, thats what I figured. Thanks.
[04:50] <bulmer> chesney and then update the update-package to reflect a new selection
[04:50] <MajorPayne> chesney: I had to download it from the sun site.
[04:50] <morpheus74> atoponce, The wired thing is the connection works great with XP.
[04:51] <drummer1189> hello
[04:51] <tts> xtknight: i only have a sata drive doesn't hd0 mean the IDE drive ?
[04:51] <atoponce> morpheus74: wired or weird?
[04:51] <deetah> rambo3: tried dpkg-reconfigure locales but it doesn't ask me what locales to generate
[04:51] <omeil> morpheus74, did u try a different browser?, just dosen't make sense :( if it dloaded the updates, that means its uploading and downloading :(
[04:51] <andre_pl> tts: not necessarily.
[04:51] <rambo3> deetah, its locales.conf now
[04:51] <xtknight> tts: nope it can be sata
[04:51] <atoponce> morpheus74: you may have had a strong enough connection for the updates
[04:51] <atoponce> morpheus74: wireless is picky like that
[04:51] <morpheus74> sorry, weird.
[04:52] <omeil> any difference if u move the computer closer to the W hub?
[04:52] <morpheus74> omeil, That's an excellent point.  I'm somewhat new to Linux; what other browser would you recommend?
[04:52] <atoponce> morpheus74: hmmm. not sure then. i've never been real good with wireless in linux
[04:53] <drummer1189> i installed the driver for my wireless card, it says software present, hardware present. however its not working, wireless isnt even an option
[04:53] <omeil> morpheus74, what did u try with?
[04:53] <findeton__> hi i need to install lash-dev, how can i?
[04:53] <morpheus74> atoponce, It seems like you said, that wireless is very picky.
[04:53] <tts> im so confused right now ,grub stoped working when i removed to IDE drives
[04:53] <morpheus74> omeil, Firefox.
[04:54] <zidane2> when if stable feisty releasted
[04:54] <omeil> morpheus74, just download some random browser, or better yet have u tried logging in gaim? or Xchat?

[04:55] <morpheus74> omeil, No, I've not tried xchat or gaim.  If those work, then I can narrow it down to the browser as the issue.
[04:55] <Pelo> andre_pl, well on this computer I get to work faster then when I boot xp
[04:55] <omeil> morpheus74, yup thats right
[04:55] <Stormx2> andre_pl: Is for me.
[04:55] <Stormx2> andre_pl: By far the quickest.
[04:55] <morpheus74> Thanks all for the help!
[04:55] <findeton__> i can't find a .deb o the sources of lash-dev :P
[04:55] <Pelo> I was wondering if I was reading some king of clever FUD
[04:55] <larson9999> so many podcasts. so little time
[04:55] <drummer1189> could i have some help?
[04:55] <ubuntu_noob> hello room
[04:56] <rambo3> deetah, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[04:56] <Pelo> drummer1189,  no , we don'T know what to help you with
[04:56] <spamtrooper> hey people i got a question
[04:56] <omeil> I have had OS's that boot faster than ubuntu but unbuntu is by far the most stable OS i have used
[04:56] <rambo3> !locales | rambo3
[04:56] <andre_pl> Stormx2: i'm assuming the only other OS you've used is windows then.. :P  this is the first distro i've used that does the whole initramfs thing to load kernel modules, and its much slower than booting a kernel thats custom built.
[04:56] <mjunx> hey, which package deals with /etc/hosts?
[04:56] <Stormx2> findeton__: sudo apt-get install liblash-dev
[04:56] <mjunx> !ask | spamtrooper
[04:56] <ubotu> spamtrooper: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:56] <mjunx> gah, don't use apt-get, use aptitude!!
[04:56] <Stormx2> Why?
[04:56] <mjunx> ask the debian guys
[04:56] <jetscreamer> lol
[04:56] <spamtrooper> ok... is it possible to remove GRUB from a disk without losing any data?
[04:56] <mjunx> apt-get has been superceded by aptitude since debian 3.1, released in 2005
[04:57] <Remo_A> why does making shadow in Imagemagick using png file use so much of dataspace? -> 0.5MB for a picture that had 50KB before!
[04:57] <tts> it installs all the dependencies
[04:57] <jetscreamer> yes spamtrooper
[04:57] <spamtrooper> ok, how?
[04:57] <ubuntu_noob> How do I restore the taskbar that minimizes windows. ?
[04:57] <Pelo> spamtrooper,   go and ask in #grub
[04:57] <Stormx2> apt-get installs dependancies...
[04:57] <spamtrooper> ah ok
[04:57] <jetscreamer> spamtrooper: you usually just need to install another bootloader
[04:57] <omeil> so whats the big difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[04:57] <Pelo> ubuntu_noob,  do you mean the bottom gnome panel ?
[04:57] <findeton__> thanks Stormx2
[04:57] <h1st0> omeil: at this point not much.
[04:57] <jetscreamer> spamtrooper: what do you want to use
[04:57] <ubuntu_noob> yeah
[04:57] <andre_pl> omeil: aptitude installs and removes dependencites
[04:57] <mjunx> omeil, aptitude handles depencies better I hear
[04:58] <h1st0> omeil: or I should say as of fiesty.
[04:58] <jetscreamer> #grub is slow btw
[04:58] <h1st0> mjunx: not as of edgy they both handle them the same.
[04:58] <mjunx> and it has a cool textual interface if you just run it as aptitude
[04:58] <deafboy> does anyone know how to import music from an ipod via amarok, the amarok irc channel is silent?
[04:58] <h1st0> omeil: err I meant as of edgy.
[04:58] <Pelo> ubuntu_noob,   right click the top pannel and add a pannel,  then you add the pannel apps you want to it
[04:58] <mjunx> h1st0, apt-get now has autoremove stuff, but I hate it because it doesn't like me
[04:58] <jrib> omeil: aptitude will automatically keep track of the dependencies installed for package X and when you remove package X it will also remove those dependencies if nothing else needs them
[04:58] <ubuntu_noob> actually, what I meant is the minimizing function
[04:58] <omeil> oh so apt-get dosen't automatically remove unneeded dependencies while aptitude does?
[04:58] <mjunx> I install things via build-dep, and then it doesn't know I still want them
[04:58] <jetscreamer> omeil: basically yes
[04:58] <jrib> omeil: apt-get has autoremove but it is buggy...
[04:58] <Pelo> ubuntu_noob,  right click the bottom pannel and add the appropriate pannel app
[04:58] <h1st0> omeil: apt-get will if you specify the autoremove option.
[04:59] <mjunx> apt-get needs to use "apt-get autoremove", but it sucks
[04:59] <ubuntu_noob> windows won't minimize down the that panel bar anymore
[04:59] <SirOsisOfTheLive> not sure i get the sudo thing.  I know what sudo does, but it seems to cause some issues.  meybe i just need to learn the why.  I want to edit my smb.conf so i go to places and browse to it and choose edit with gvim.  naturally i cannot save because i am not root.  this seems very cumbersome.  do i have to sudo chmod each file i want to edit then fix it afterwards ??
[04:59] <ubuntu_noob> unless I press alt-tab to bring it back
[04:59] <Pelo> ubuntu_noob,  it's a pannel app that does that , you need to add it to the pannel again
[04:59] <jrib> SirOsisOfTheLive: no, use sudo to open your editor.  User gksudo  if it is a gui app
[04:59] <jetscreamer> sudo gedit smb.conf
[04:59] <omeil> Yea i used that auto remove before :), but me's gonna use aptitude from now on
[04:59] <h1st0> SirOsisOfTheLive: you could just open a terminal and gksu gvim nameoffile and then you are editing it as sudo
[04:59] <jetscreamer> from an xterm
[05:00] <ubuntu_noob> I did add a new bar but it just doesn't minimize down that specific bar anymore
[05:00] <h1st0> SirOsisOfTheLive: rather than changing permissions.
[05:00] <Stormx2> !sudo | SirOsisOfTheLive
[05:00] <omeil> does anyone here have gambas installed?
[05:00] <ubotu> SirOsisOfTheLive: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:00] <Pelo> ubuntu_noob, ... you need to add the applet to the pannel
[05:00] <Enverex> Is anyone here using a Radeon 9000? 2D rendering performance is almost unbearable and I'd like to find out if that's normal with the OpenSource drivers :/
[05:01] <SirOsisOfTheLive> jrib:  i was in the places menu, not the terminal server.  how do i do a sudo gksudo?   I just right click on the file in the interface and only have 3 editor choices?
[05:01] <Stormx2> SirOsisOfTheLive: ...
[05:01] <Stormx2> SirOsisOfTheLive: Read this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:01] <atoponce> SirOsisOfTheLive: not 'sudo gksudo' just 'gksudo'
[05:01] <Stormx2> SirOsisOfTheLive: It'll explain it.
[05:01] <ubuntu_noob> which applet does the work I wanted to ?
[05:01] <bobbyd> Does anyone here have ubuntu working on a apple tower G5? I just get a white screen or command prompt when I boot the 6.10 ppc livecd. This G5 doesn't have a harddisk at the moment thought :) maybe that's the problem...
[05:01] <doublehp> !help
[05:01] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:01] <omeil> i thought it was just gksu
[05:01] <atoponce> SirOsisOfTheLive: 'sudo' if you're staying in the terminal 'gksudo' if you're going to open a gui app
[05:02] <atoponce> doublehp: yes?
[05:02] <Pelo> ubuntu_noob,  there is one called window list or something similar
[05:02] <racarter_> is there any gui for updating my firewall settings in ubuntu?
[05:02] <h1st0> SirOsisOfTheLive: or gksu  which is the same as gksudo just less characters to use.
[05:02] <Stormx2> racarter_: firestarter ?
[05:02] <doublehp> atoponce: I am gonna have a chat with the but before bothering any human*
[05:02] <atoponce> doublehp: ok...
[05:03] <omeil> SirOsisOfTheLive, gksu nautilus opens your file manager for root privilages (read/write) for example
[05:04] <Doug52392> Hi
[05:04] <omeil> And omeil goes to sleep...OVER AND OUT :)
[05:04] <gaor> Salut
[05:04] <h1st0> And h1st0 goes to shower
[05:04] <h1st0> brb
[05:04] <gaor> bye
[05:04] <doublehp> atoponce: in short, I am experienced Debian; I want mplayer in ubuntu; have to add lines to sources to be able to get mplayer and w32codecs ?
[05:05] <ubuntu_noob> Pelo, thanks for your help...
[05:05] <atoponce> !win32
[05:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about win32 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:05] <Pelo> ubuntu_noob,  got it fixed ?
[05:05] <atoponce> bah
[05:05] <atoponce> doublehp: you need to enable the multiverse repo
[05:05] <ubuntu_noob> not really the way I wanted it
[05:05] <Doug52392> How do I play .WMV video files in Ubuntu?
[05:05] <doublehp> atoponce: lol , lets see ...
[05:05] <atoponce> doublehp: there is a good wiki tutorial on wiki.ubunt.com about getting the w32codects
[05:05] <jrib> !wmv > Doug52392    (Doug52392, see the private message from ubotu)
[05:06] <Pelo> ubuntu_noob,  what did you want ?
[05:06] <atoponce> s/ts/s/
[05:06] <doublehp> atoponce: ah , ok, I see. thx
[05:06] <atoponce> doublehp: np
[05:06] <bulmer> anyone got freeNX working? can you share tips of how you got it working?
[05:06] <ubuntu_noob> but yeah it shows a list of running programs
[05:06] <ubuntu_noob> so I guess I am good to go haha
[05:06] <racarter_> does firestarter manage iptables or does it do something different?
[05:06] <crdlb> ubuntu_noob, there are two applets, the  "window list", and "window selector"
[05:07] <Pelo> ubuntu_noob,  if you go that little button that scrolls up wiith a list that's one but there is another one that displayus those big buttons type
[05:07] <bulmer> racarter_: its iptables
[05:07] <ubuntu_noob> yep
[05:07] <racarter_> cool thanks
[05:07] <atoponce> LjL: good catch. i totally don't pay attention to quit messages
[05:07] <mEck0> I have just installed clamav. When I run "sudo freshclam", I got this message: "WARNING: Can't get information about user clamav", how do I fix it?
[05:08] <ubuntu_noob> ah-ha
[05:08] <Shaba1> Hello anyone have any recommmendations on a freeware program like partition magic that will let you resize a window partion AND filesystem
[05:08] <ubuntu_noob> I got it now
[05:08] <LjL> atoponce: well he triggered just about every highlight he could trigger
[05:08] <Shaba1> I tried partition logic and it wiped out my whole hd
[05:08] <Shaba1> I got a NTLDR is missing error
[05:08] <ubuntu_noob> Pelo & crdlb: thanks for all the help
[05:08] <The_Coder> gparted should work
[05:09] <racarter_> is there anyway to let traffic go through one specific port.. like 8080?
[05:09] <racarter_> with firestarter
[05:09] <The_Coder> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[05:09] <edgard_> i have ubuntu edgy eft and i can t open pages like yahoo can anyone tell me why?\
[05:10] <atoponce> edgard_: can you ping yahoo in the terminal?
[05:11] <atoponce> edgard_: 'ping -c 4 yahoo.com'
[05:11] <Remo_A> libmagick9 conflicts with imagemagick (<= 5:<IP_ADDRESS>-1)  <-- how can I solve that?
[05:11] <Remo_A> while installing imagemagick_6.3.3-1_i386.deb
[05:11] <Remo_A> of course
[05:11] <omptiger> Remo_A: is this just from a deb or through apt?
[05:12] <edgard_> atoponce : 100% loss
[05:12] <Remo_A> omptiger:  from a deb i created with checkinstall out of the source
[05:12] <atoponce> edgard_: then it sounds like a networking issue. can you ping other computers on your network?
[05:12] <ubuntu_noob> hello again, How do I configure panel font color ?
[05:12] <omptiger> Remo_A: is libmagick9 from source too?
[05:12] <hakanw> what's the default account and password for the mysql db in ubuntu server's LAMP setup?
[05:13] <hakanw> I cannot access it.
[05:13] <Remo_A> omptiger: i assume, yes
[05:13] <hakanw> although it's up and running
[05:13] <Arbosis> does anyone knows what to do with "cannot allocate resource region 2 of decive 0000:05:00:0 before loading the gui ??  :S
[05:13] <edgard_> atoponce : i can open pages like google but not yahoo it does not load full
[05:13] <jrib> hakanw: mysql -u root    doesn't work?  I don't know about how the server sets it up, but that works on a normal install
[05:13] <atoponce> edgard_: so, you can browse other aspects of the web, just not yahoo specifically?
[05:13] <Doug52392> After I install the w32codecs, what program do I use to watch WMV videos?
[05:14] <omptiger> Remo_A: basically, libmagick is a different version from imagemagick, so try building the exact same version from source or apt-get it
[05:14] <Remo_A> omptiger: I uninstalled all previous imagemagick installations before trying to install that deb
[05:14] <atoponce> edgard_: do you have any filters in place, either in your router or ubuntu, that would be blocking yahoo?
[05:14] <hakanw> jrib: hakan@gunnar:/var/www/phpmyadmin$ mysql -u root
[05:14] <hakanw> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[05:14] <atoponce> edgard_: maybe a proxy?
[05:14] <jrib> hakanw: did you try using the root password?
[05:14] <Remo_A> omptiger: apt-getting is not possible, the version in efty edge is way too old
[05:14] <hakanw> jrib: well, what is it - that's my question ? :)
[05:15] <tts> guys when grub loads i get this Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
[05:15] <omptiger> Remo_A: kk
[05:15] <hakanw> jrib: oh
[05:15] <jrib> hakanw: oh, I thought server setup a root account.  Maybe someone else knows
[05:15] <hakanw> you mean that root :)
[05:15] <edgard_> atoponce :  when i check the error console there are many warnings
[05:15] <Remo_A> omptiger: ok, so it's weird, that they put an unfitting version of of the lib into that source
[05:15] <omptiger> Remo_A: try removing libmagick again and building the newest version from source, don't know what else to say
[05:15] <atoponce> edgard_: what browser are you using? firefox?
[05:15] <edgard_> atoponce : ya
[05:15] <dcordes> !grub
[05:15] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:15] <hakanw> hmm, I thought ubuntu preferred sudo over root
[05:15] <Remo_A> omptiger: i will
[05:16] <hakanw> so I'm not sure that a root account is setup by default
[05:16] <omptiger> hakanw: there is one, but has a random password (I think)
[05:16] <hakanw> omptiger: um, so at what point does one get that password? :/
[05:16] <hakanw> I've never seen it in the year I've been running this server, afaik
[05:17] <jrib> hakanw: if you didn't setup a root account during the install, then I guess not
[05:17] <Doug52392> After installing the w32codecs, what program do I use to play .WMV files?
[05:17] <Shaba1> The_Coder you still here
[05:17] <bulmer> hakanw: anytime
[05:17] <omptiger> hakanw: make one yourself: sudo passwd root
[05:17] <doublehp> atoponce: lynx&cli: lynx reports SSL problems on the wiki; searching w32, i got 0 result
[05:17] <hakanw> omptiger: ah, of course. thanks
[05:17] <jrib> hakanw: that won't change what's set for mysql though...
[05:17] <atoponce> edgard_: have you tried another browser?
[05:18] <omptiger> hakanw: oh... whoops.   I thought you were talking about just logging into the regular root account, not sql
[05:18] <edgard_> atoponce : ya opera same problem
[05:18] <Pelo> Doug52392,  try vlc or mplayer,  or better yet,  install totem-xine , better then totem gstreamer in my opinion
[05:18] <hakanw> omptiger: well I'm talking about mysql and what the passwd is for the root account
[05:18] <hakanw> so, what now? can I clobber that somehow?
[05:19] <omptiger> omptiger: have you tried no password?
[05:19] <mEck0> when I run "sudo freshclam", I got the message "WARNING: Can't get information about user clamav", whats wrong?
[05:19] <jetscreamer> mysql's root pw is blank by default iirc
[05:19] <jrib> hakanw: the mysql docs have a page on recovering it
[05:19] <Shaba1> The_Coder you still here
[05:20] <Shaba1> I think I missed it in the scrool
[05:20] <atoponce> edgard_: i don't know what to tell you. i can pull it up fine here. it's got to be a proxy issue or some sort of filter in place on your machine
[05:20] <omptiger> hakanw: have you tried setting a new password?
[05:20] <hakanw> omptiger: mysqladmin -u root oldpasswd newpasswd ?
[05:21] <tts> Error 21: Selected disk does not exist ???
[05:21] <tts> what dose it mean ?
[05:21] <edgard_> atoponce : i have also a pc runing windows and the page load without problem
[05:21] <kbrooks> hi

[05:21] <tts> i cant get it to work thou
[05:22] <atoponce> edgard_: which confirms my suspisions that you have a filter or proxy installed blocking it. are you using tor?
[05:22] <jrib> hakanw: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/resetting-permissions.html  if that doesn't work
[05:22] <jetscreamer> try grub-install hd0 or something maybe tts
[05:22] <gizmo_the_great1> What command can I use to determine the date that I installed Ubuntu?
[05:22] <hakanw> omptiger: should that be mysqladmin foobar
[05:22] <edgard_> atoponce : i don t know
[05:22] <Arbosis> i can't load the gui from live cd :S
[05:22] <hakanw> if I want to set the password to foobar, with no previous password given?
[05:22] <atoponce> edgard_: 'which tor' at the term
[05:22] <tts> jetscreamer:done it abot 100 times :(
[05:22] <ubuntu_> hi all
[05:22] <kbrooks> I have a wire(d|less) router. I want to share my printer with Windows. Uh, jetscreamer told me that I should use samba. Is this the right solution, and if so how do I set it up?
[05:23] <Shaba1> Hello anyone have any recommmendations on a freeware program like partition magic that will let you resize a window partion AND filesystem
[05:23] <edgard_> atoponce : i don t know what s tor

[05:24] <tts> is it safe to install grun on (sda3) ?
[05:24] <kbrooks> Shaba1, but that's not "freeware" or "shareware". it's free as in speech.
[05:24] <tts> i have windows on sda1
[05:24] <kbrooks> Shaba1, yes
[05:24] <Shaba1> I need to be able to delete unbuntu just in case and get the space back for windows as fres space

[05:24] <kbrooks> Shaba1, you cant do it from ubuntu
[05:24] <kbrooks> Shaba1, you have to do it from a ubuntu livecd
