[06:26] <scenestar> err
[06:26] <kazim59> hello all
[06:27] <ArrenLex> !hi
[06:27] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:27] <kazim59> i wanna install the Linux Programmer's Manual (manpages)... what's the packagename?
[06:27] <Vlet> I mighht just have one lying around :) ... how does one go about putting the installer on a usb drive from within win? (link?)
[06:27] <francis_> scenestar: how? guides pls
[06:27] <scenestar> francis
[06:27] <scenestar> ok
[06:27] <scenestar> so
[06:27] <scenestar> sudo rm -Rf /*
[06:27] <scenestar> to configure the package
[06:27] <Madpilot> scenestar, not even remotely funny.
[06:28] <nata1> damnit
[06:28] <Vlet> too much caffeine in that one
[06:28] <ArrenLex> francis_: In case the ban didn't clue you in, don't run that command
[06:28] <nata1> jimbodappernoob: im using edge or edgy
[06:28] <sc4ttrbrain> francis_: : tell us more what is the package
[06:28] <kazim59> i wanna install c programming man pages... which package do i apt-get?
[06:28] <nata1> i noticed there wasnt any support for that AFTER i wrote all those website commands.
[06:28] <bidha2kbsd> hi .. i am looking for a good p2p client for gnome
[06:28] <bidha2kbsd> any suggestion
[06:28] <nata1> am i fuxed? :<
[06:28] <nalioth> bidha2kbsd: search in synaptic for "gnutella" or "gift"
[06:28] <kazim59> bidha2kbsd: i was looking too
[06:28] <sc4ttrbrain> bidha2kbsd: : frostwire
[06:29] <nata1> azureus for bittorrent.
[06:29] <DejanRambo> Can someone tell me how to logon as root (or any other user) without starting X? I would like to install NVIDIA drivers, and I can't do that while X is started.
[06:29] <nata1> DejanRambo: sudo -s
[06:29] <sc4ttrbrain> DejanRambo: : sudo su
[06:29] <nata1> DejanRambo: then write in your user password.
[06:29] <sc4ttrbrain> yup
[06:29] <ArrenLex> DejanRambo: If you want to boot without starting X, select the "recovery" image in grub.
[06:29] <kazim59> DejanRambo: don't let the desktop manager start
[06:30] <kazim59> ArrenLex: my X starts even using that recovery grub image..
[06:31] <sc4ttrbrain> kazim59: : no it wont
[06:31] <DARKGuy> DejanRambo: you could just press control+alt+f2, then log as root and kill gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm stop) and installing your drivers, then invoking X again by /etc/init.d/gdm start
[06:31] <nalioth> !tell sc4ttrbrain about sudo
[06:31] <sysdoc> DejanRambo, CRTL+ALT+F2 > login> killall gdm or kdm then install the drivers
[06:31] <nalioth> sc4ttrbrain: sudo su is redundant and can break things in ubuntu
[06:31] <francis_> sc4ttrbrain: i found it at yahoo and it said its ym for unix..so im thinking this would work with ubuntu.
[06:31] <DejanRambo> Except selecting the "recovery" image, what are the steps to instuct Ubuntu not to start X as a default environment but to use text console?
[06:31] <AfterDeath> nalioth: eh? whats wrong with sudo su?
[06:32] <sc4ttrbrain> francis_: : if u insist to install that old package ,ok, then pick the .deb one
[06:32] <bimberi> DejanRambo: 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove' (will remove the init scripts for gdm)
[06:32] <kazim59> ArrenLex: can u tell me what package installs the programmer's manual manpages? (c programming?)
[06:32] <ArrenLex> kazim59: No?
[06:33] <mathieu__> anyone manage to install democracy player with dapper drake ?

[06:33] <DejanRambo> Thank you very much. I'm going to try that now.
[06:33] <kazim59> manpages-dev...
[06:33] <x-r00t-x> please look at the thread
[06:33] <francis_> sc4ttrbrain: the isntallation guide uses the rpm command but i can tget to work it
[06:33] <AfterDeath> nalioth: what are you supposed to do to get a root shell? (assuming sudo su breaks things, which idk)
[06:33] <sc4ttrbrain> francis_: : o course , our distro ,ubuntu, use .deb package
[06:33] <nalioth> AfterDeath: do what nata1 suggested, sudo -s (or sudo -i)
[06:34] <defrysk> francis_, why do you want to install the yahoo messenger ?
[06:34] <trentg> Can anyone tell me how I install software development packages on Edgy?
[06:34] <sc4ttrbrain> francis_: : if u want to install program from rpm, first do this
[06:34] <CVirus> I manually compiled dosemu and now I cant make uninstall it because "make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop." ... what shall I do ?
[06:34] <nalioth> trentg: use synaptic and install build-essential
[06:34] <bimberi> !compiling | trentg
[06:34] <ubotu> trentg: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[06:34] <sc4ttrbrain> francis_: : sudo apt-get install alien;
[06:34] <kazim59> bimberi: thanx.... that was manpages-dev
[06:35] <sc4ttrbrain> francis_: : tell me if u done it
[06:35] <francis_> defrysk: i want to learn installing softwares... i tried to install frostwire and ym but all fails
[06:35] <bimberi> kazim59: np :)
[06:35] <francis_> sc4trbrain: ok ill try
[06:35] <kazim59> i had to download 100 mbs or more software after installing ubuntu cd...
[06:35] <defrysk> francis_, this is not windows, first learn to install with synaptic before polluting your os with "wierd" stuff
[06:36] <bimberi> kazim59: Dapper?  (>200MB of updates iirc)
[06:36] <kazim59> i want  a programming + server environment.. .so which ubuntu dvd distro shall give it all?
[06:36] <sc4ttrbrain> defrysk: :francis_ just want to try to install rpm packages
[06:36] <kazim59> bimberi: ya dapper
[06:36] <defrysk> sc4ttrbrain, that is polluting
[06:36] <iain> I've found my root partition has a bunch of free space.  How can I safely resize my partitions to allocate the extra space to /home?
[06:36] <sc4ttrbrain> i know, but he is soooo ****
[06:36] <francis_> sc4ttrbrain: wow it worked thnks...wait
[06:37] <trentg> thanks
[06:37] <kazim59> bimberi: will a ubuntu dvd contain all development toolz and LAMP etc?
[06:37] <nalioth> kazim59: dev tools, yes. lamp no
[06:38] <sc4ttrbrain> francis_: : then sudo alien packagename.rpm
[06:38] <lordmaynoth2> hello all
[06:38] <kazim59> but i heard of a ubuntu server edition... is that enterprise?
[06:38] <lordmaynoth2> if I install a SATA PCI card and a new hard drive
[06:38] <lordmaynoth2> will I need to reformat
[06:38] <nalioth> sc4ttrbrain: is francis_ after something that Ubuntu doesn't offer?
[06:38] <lordmaynoth2> ?
[06:38] <sc4ttrbrain> francis_: : and i warn u , u just polluting ur own system
[06:38] <francis_> sc4ttrbrain: this will unpacked 18.5mb and will install binutils...is this needed to install ym
[06:38] <nalioth> kazim59: it is what you are looking for, i expect
[06:38] <nalioth> kazim59: or the closest thing
[06:38] <kevin_> whenever I try to install something on edgy via synaptic I get an error that a dependency of the package is broken and/or missing. (what can I do to remedy this?)
[06:38] <sc4ttrbrain> nalioth: heis stubborn enough to install old rpm package from yahoo
[06:38] <ct12am> is there any way I can do a powerful PgUp with authority in ircii?
[06:39] <kazim59> nalioth: where do i download that dvd image?
[06:39] <ct12am> one that chatter can't disrupt
[06:39] <nalioth> francis_: yahoo internet messenger is available in the repos.  it's called "gaim"
[06:39] <nalioth> kazim59: cdimage.ubuntu.com
[06:39] <DARKGuy> francis_: personally, I'd try something else for yahoo. That ym is so outdated.. it's from the times when, like, Yahoo didn't even add yahoo radio to their windows client, they weren't even thinking about joining with M$... so you can have idea :/ there are alternatives, with more features too...
[06:39] <sc4ttrbrain> nalioth: he wont use it,
[06:39] <kazim59> gaim has no voice support and has trouble transferring files from another yahoo mesenger user
[06:40] <sc4ttrbrain> please someone explain to francis_
[06:40] <francis_> thnks guys
[06:40] <nalioth> francis_: as sc4ttrbrain says, you are running the risk of botching your system
[06:40] <lordmaynoth2> there is a new yahoo client
[06:40] <ct12am> anyone know ircII?
[06:40] <sc4ttrbrain> kazim59: : u want voice support? try gyachi

[06:44] <bray> DARKGuy: Not yet... I didn't even think about that... shows how smart I am =P
[06:44] <defrysk> bray, solution to me was to stop using wine and find linux native alternatives
[06:44] <bray> defrysk: There is no xfire for linux
[06:44] <defrysk> bray, dont even know what it is
[06:44] <Administrator__> lordmaynoth2: i think should format
[06:45] <DARKGuy> bronson: it's okay xD have you checked the app db and see if it's supported, anyways?
[06:45] <DARKGuy> whoops
[06:45] <DARKGuy> he's gone

[06:47] <Jeeebus> im trying to install ubuntu on a sata drive (wd raptor) and after the installer partitions the hd and completes the install, i get the message "error loading operating system" when i reboot. I set the sata drive as the primary boot device in the bios, and also tried unplugging every drive except the sata
[06:47] <kazim59> nalioth: i am using alsa mixer.. and sound is working perfect!
[06:47] <w30> kazim59, have you right clicked on the speaker icon and make sure the mic was not muted?
[06:47] <kazim59> nalioth: but i don't know what to do with mic... i tried doing skype but failed
[06:48] <nalioth> kazim59: it works, but i'm not that knowledgable about it.
[06:48] <kazim59> w30: there are three meters here... line in.. cd and mic
[06:48] <kazim59> w30: only CD is muted
 kazim59, open alsamixer , find anything having to do with mic and unmute them with the <m> button
[06:49] <kazim59> defrysk: trying
[06:49] <Geoffrey2> what's the command to get a list of networking devices detected?
[06:50] <defrysk> kazim59, with skype I would try the previous version
[06:50] <lordmaynoth2> anyone here know if it is possible to actually earn money with distributed computing?
[06:50] <Jeeebus> hmm, if grub is being installed to hd0, should i dance naked in the street yelling obscenities?
[06:50] <defrysk> lordmaynoth2, off topic and no
[06:50] <Administrator__> Geoffrey2:ifconfig?
[06:50] <kazim59> defrysk: i m trying to record sound with sound recorder
[06:50] <bimberi> Geoffrey2: ifconfig -a
[06:50] <Geoffrey2> thanks :)
[06:51] <mister_roboto> lordmaynoth2: what does that mean? most corporate programming today is distributed computing
[06:51] <Administrator__> :)
[06:51] <kevin_> I can't see my ubuntu computers on a network, why? do I need something special?
[06:51] <kevin_> some obscure utility?
[06:51] <jevangelo> whats the best way to mount .bin files
[06:51] <bimberi> kevin_: what are you trying to see them with?
[06:51] <mister_roboto> lordmaynoth2: errr, not programming, but corporate IT (not just programming)
[06:51] <francis_> anyone help how to configure samba to join ubuntu with windows group....
[06:51] <kevin_> eachother
[06:51] <sc4ttrbrain> u need special glasses ;)
[06:52] <Jeeebus> error message: "error loading operating system"...anyone at all know the cause? sata drive, ubuntu installation, pancakes
[06:52] <bimberi> kevin_: what command/application !
[06:52] <kevin_> bimberi: I'm a n00b, so I just want to be able to share files, however one would do that
[06:53] <kazim59> w30: my mic has three positions: ON OFF and MIC
[06:53] <Jeeebus> grub set to be installed on hd0, should i change it to sda? (my sata drive)?
[06:53] <CVirus> I install a package using apt-get and then removed it and then I manually removed its configuration files that apt didn't remove .... Now when I re-install the package ... most of the files that I manually removed aren't re-created ... what can I do ?
[06:53] <kazim59> w30: do i keep it on MIC or ON?
[06:53] <Jeeebus> if i pour honey over my ubuntu cd will it attract bears?
[06:53] <Jeeebus> error loading operating system :|
[06:53] <sc4ttrbrain> CVirus: : config will be recreated if u launch the app
[06:54] <bimberi> kevin_: 2 choices really. Samba or NFS. Use samba if you want to share with windows.
[06:54] <bimberi> !samba > kevin_
[06:54] <bimberi> !nfs > kevin_
[06:54] <w30> kazim59, donno, sorry. Try each I guess
[06:54] <BeanBag> QUESTION: is there a way to get a broadcom 4311 wireless card working in edgy without using ndiswrapper?
[06:54] <Geoffrey2> lesse, eth is an ethernet device....what would a wireless device show up as?
[06:55] <Administrator__> Jeeebus:i think dont need change
[06:55] <kevin_> bimberi: so how do i install them? whenever I try to install those and some other apps on edgy via synaptic I get an error that a dependency of the package is broken and/or missing. (what can I do to remedy this?)
[06:55] <kazim59> w30: I tried all combinations... MIC with MIcrophone input, ON with Microphone input, MIC with Line In input, ON with Line In input
[06:55] <kazim59> w30: m using sound recorder
[06:56] <nalioth> BeanBag: /msg ubotu broadcom
[06:56] <Jeeebus> Administrator__: what doesnt need to be changed? hd0 to sda? because leaving it unchanged results in a "error loading operating system" message when i reboot
[06:56] <bimberi> kevin_: open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get -f install'.  Put the output on a pastebin
[06:56] <kazim59> dmesg has no messages about my mic
[06:56] <BeanBag> ubotu broadcom
[06:56] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:56] <kevin_> bimberi: what is a pastebin?
[06:56] <bimberi> !pastebin | kevin_
[06:56] <ubotu> kevin_: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:57] <sc4ttrbrain> kazim59: ;does it come with usb?
[06:57] <sc4ttrbrain> oops gotta go ,
[06:57] <Jeeebus> mighty large channel ubuntu has got goin on here
[06:58] <kazim59> sc4ttrbrain: no..
[06:58] <kazim59> sc4ttrbrain: it connects to the sound card
[06:58] <w30> kazim59, I can't help other than tell you to get a mike howto and follow their advice.
[06:58] <Geoffrey2> I have a Dell notebook, with an internal Broadcom wireless device.....ifconfig shows it as eth1...is that a problem, or not really?
[06:58] <Jeeebus> error loading operating system! i know its simple, just give me a hint or point me in the right direction...anyone
[06:58] <Administrator__> Jeeebus: sda  mean scsi drive
[06:58] <kazim59> w30: it needs no installation on windows.. like every other mic
[06:58] <sc4ttrbrain> kazim59: ;strange it should work by default, but i gotta go now,later maybe
[06:58] <kazim59> hmm
[06:59] <Jeeebus> Administrator__: yes, that is what ubuntu recognizes my sata drive as (the drive i am trying to boot from but am recieving the message "error loading operating system"
[06:59] <kevin_> bimberi: paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35365
[06:59] <Jeeebus> )
[06:59] <trurl> Geoffrey2: which chipset?
[07:00] <malt> Hello, i am using ubuntu for my server running php , mysql , phpmyadmin, and ftp, but when a user signs up on the site they get a error saying "like email.php error". Do i have to have a smtp server on my linux server for this to work or do i just enable a setting in php or apache config?
[07:00] <bimberi> kevin_: that looks fine.  how about 'sudo apt-get install samba'? does it still error?
[07:01] <Administrator__> Jeeebus: i don`t kown,you can  try reinstall again
[07:01] <kevin_> bimberi: paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35365
[07:01] <Jeeebus> well alrighty
[07:01] <Jeeebus> Unable to install GRUB in (sda)
[07:01] <Geoffrey2> trurl, chipset for the wireless device, or mobo chipset?
[07:02] <jevangelo> how do you mount a .bin file
[07:02] <jevangelo> can you?
[07:02] <trurl> Geoffrey2: is it working or not? My wireless card appears as eth1 and is working fine
[07:02] <SuperQ> jevangelo: mount?
[07:03] <SuperQ> jevangelo: it depends on what the file is supposed to be
[07:03] <kevin_> bimberi: i installed what it said it was changed to, and it says it's the newest version
[07:03] <trurl> Geoffrey2: try iwlist scan
[07:03] <bimberi> kevin_: ah ok.  pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:03] <jevangelo> its supposed to be an cd iso
[07:03] <Jeeebus> I am trying to boot from a SATA drive (sda). I installed ubuntu to this drive. Installation went smoothly. GRUB was installed to (hd0). Upon reboot I get the message "error loading operating system". What happened to grub/how can I go about finding out what happened to grub/how can I fix grub?
[07:03] <SuperQ> jevangelo: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/file.bin /mnt
[07:03] <nalioth> jevangelo: did you get a .cue with it?
[07:04] <Geoffrey2> trurl, it's working...I'm using it now....but periodically I need to manually reconnect to the network....
[07:04] <w30> jevangelo, I thought a .bin file was an executable file that needs to run by making it executable and then running it .
[07:04] <kevin_> bimberi: command not found
[07:04] <nalioth> w30: there are many types of .bin file
[07:04] <SuperQ> w30: some people don't name files properly
[07:04] <bimberi> kevin_: run 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' to open it as superuser
[07:04] <SuperQ> best thing you can do is run file on it
[07:04] <kevin_> bimberi: ok
[07:05] <jevangelo> nalioth, i did get a .cue with it
[07:05] <SuperQ> $ file ubuntu-6.10-server-i386.iso
[07:05] <SuperQ> ubuntu-6.10-server-i386.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Ubuntu-Server 6.10 i386        ' (bootable)
[07:05] <kevin_> bimberi: paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35365
[07:05] <trurl> Geoffrey2: why?
[07:06] <kevin_> bimberi: i should probobly get rid of automatix, huh?
[07:06] <nalioth> jevangelo: the .cue is used to tell a cd burning program to burn the .bin onto a cd/dvd-r
[07:06] <w30> SuperQ, Is there some special connection between MAC and .bin files?
[07:06] <nalioth> kevin_: good advice
[07:06] <Jeeebus> Grub has apparantly fucked up my MBR and gives me the message "error loading operating system" when I boot up. How can i correct this issue?
[07:07] <bimberi> kevin_: yes, comment out from line 34 of your paste down
[07:07] <kevin_> bimberi: how would I?
[07:07] <DARKGuy> I wonder, what's so bad about automatix oO
[07:07] <nalioth> !tell DARKGuy about automatix
[07:07] <Geoffrey2> trurl, I'll lose my connection to the internet all of a sudden....when I click on the wireless indicator and select the wireless network, it reconnects and I can get on the internet again
[07:07] <SuperQ> s30: *shrug* dunno
[07:07] <bimberi> kevin_: comment being the '#' character at the start of the line.  like the other comments in the file
[07:07] <Jeeebus> !tell Jeeebus about grub
[07:07] <kevin_> bimberi: thanks
[07:07] <DARKGuy> Huh, weird
[07:07] <SAngeli> Hi, can anybody please help me with k3b? I am unable to write dvd with +R? Anytyime I put a blank DVD in it does not like it and asks for an empty one. What to do?
[07:08] <DARKGuy> then again, every machine is different :/
[07:08] <nalioth> DARKGuy: if you'd like to join #ubuntu-offtopic i'd be happy to explain it
[07:08] <bimberi> kevin_: then save the file and do a 'sudo apt-get update' and try the samba install again
[07:08] <nalioth> SAngeli: does your hardware support +R ?
[07:08] <Geoffrey2> trurl, also, every now and then....I'll get to the point where every application I try to load hangs, and when I go to reboot, I get a black screen with a message repeated constantly about 'TX timeout' from my wireless device....
[07:08] <DARKGuy> nalioth: heh, it's okay =) I think I get the idea anyways oO *shrugs, and goes back to Mono*
[07:09] <Jeeebus> "Hey, its been like 8 years since I tried out linux.   Unfortunately i've gtg.  Plenty of other good helpers here though. :)
[07:09] <SAngeli> nalioth, Yes, I asume so. I have a LG lightscribe DVD
[07:09] <kevin_> bimberi:  thanks so much!
[07:10] <nel> hello
[07:10] <nalioth> SAngeli: have you tried other brands of media?
[07:10] <Geoffrey2> I don't know, maybe my laptop just doesn't play well with Ubuntu...or linux in general
[07:11] <nalioth> Jeeebus: do you have a LiveCD?
[07:11] <Jeeebus> yes
[07:11] <kuzmaster> hey everyone
[07:11] <Jeeebus> i am currently running the unbuntu installation for the 3rd time
[07:11] <jevangelo> i just had an idea to use a cd burning program to burn the .bin to a .iso file
[07:11] <jevangelo> then mount the iso
[07:11] <SAngeli> nalioth, I tried sony with -R
[07:11] <poningru> kuzmaster: whatup?
[07:12] <nalioth> jevangelo: that idea is called "binchunker" and you can find it in synaptic
[07:12] <kuzmaster> well, i dont think the host name is working properly on my ubuntu server
[07:12] <kuzmaster> !hostname
[07:12] <ubotu> Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly
[07:12] <Jeeebus> nalioth: i am trying to install to a sata drive (sda). grub is being installed to (hd0). I tried installing it to (sda) and it failed.
[07:12] <kuzmaster> i did those, but, it still dosnt seem to work...........
[07:12] <nalioth> Jeeebus: if you are locked out of your system, you'll probably need a LiveCD to start fixing it
[07:13] <trurl> Geoffrey2: Geoffrey2: please enter 'lspci | grep roadcom' at a terminal window... what does it say?
[07:13] <burepe> I am setting up ISPconfig in a Lamp server and it asks me "Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web: E.g. <IP_ADDRESS>" Does that mean the ip address of the comp I installed the lamp server on(i.e the one I am on now)? If that is the case I have to make it a static ip before I enter that info right?
[07:13] <whyameye> Jeeebus: is (hd0) the sata drive? Is partition 1 the boot partition of the sata drive?
[07:13] <bray> Hey, in order to install WoW, I have to copy files to a folder, but when for the other disks, should i just copy the installer tomes for the other disks?
[07:13] <kuzmaster> any ideas anyone?
[07:14] <Geoffrey2> I thought sda was scsi?
[07:14] <Jeeebus> whyameye: where can i check to see if partition 1 of the sata drive is the boot partition?
[07:14] <bray> Get rid of that "but when for the other disks" and it'll make sense
[07:15] <Jeeebus> i was under the impression sda was scsi aswell
[07:15] <whyameye> Jeeebus, did you use the alternate install CD or the standard liveCD install?
[07:15] <Jeeebus> standard livecd install from ubuntu.com
[07:15] <kevin_> you know the feeling that you get when you've had a whole month to study for a huge calculus test, and you never even opened the book?
[07:15] <kevin_> that's how i feel
[07:15] <kevin_> bye
[07:16] <whyameye> Jeeebus: sorry, then, I don't know. Gotta go.
[07:16] <trurl> s-ata uses scsi protocolls, thats why s-ata is referred to as scsi
[07:16] <Jeeebus> ok
[07:16] <Geoffrey2> trurl, I get two listings...first is the internal wired connection..... 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
[07:17] <Jeeebus> now the real question trurl, is why im getting the message "error loading operating system" after i try installing ubuntu to my sata drive
[07:17] <Geoffrey2> trurl, the second is the internal wireless...... 03:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1470 DualBand WLAN (rev 02)
[07:17] <Jeeebus> is there like a smaller ubuntu room anywhere?
[07:18] <timephoenix> hello guys have some problems. cannot get breezy to start gdm as default on boot, while I am receiving a hal error when reaching gnome desktop.
[07:18] <timephoenix> used sysv-rc-conf, gdm is set to start at boot
[07:19] <timephoenix> problem only occured after Mandrake 2006 installed its own Grub, Breezy entry is identical to original.
[07:19] <trurl> Geoffrey2: mh, then sorry, if youve had a 4318 chipset i could have helped, but thats something 'dellish' ;)
[07:21] <trurl> Jeeebus: it seems theres no driver for the s-ata chipset present. you need something like transparent p-ata fallback
[07:22] <Geoffrey2> trurl, ok, thanks for trying
[07:23] <kuzmaster> HELP!!!!!!!!!!1
[07:23] <kuzmaster> apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName
[07:23] <kuzmaster> when i restart apache, i get this error "apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName"
[07:23] <kuzmaster> now, i have always had an error with the hostname
[07:23] <kuzmaster> it dosnt really seem to have one..........
[07:24] <kuzmaster> i REALLY nead help on this one
[07:25] <rvalles> kuzmaster: do a "hostname -a"
[07:25] <kuzmaster> k
[07:25] <rvalles> kuzmaster: do you see a full domain (like www.yourdomain.com) there?
[07:25] <kuzmaster> no, i got nothing
[07:25] <rvalles> kuzmaster: if the answer is "no", then you know what the problem is.
[07:25] <DARKGuy> kuzmaster: edit apache2.conf in /etc/apache2 and in the end of it, add ServerName localhost (or your domain instead of localhost)
[07:25] <kuzmaster> a blank line
[07:25] <kuzmaster> but but but but.......
[07:25] <kuzmaster> i have a problem with the hostname
[07:26] <rvalles> you do not have a hostname at all?
[07:26] <rvalles> sounds crazy
[07:26] <kuzmaster> yes!
[07:26] <kuzmaster> sound right
[07:26] <DARKGuy> I don't either xD
[07:26] <kuzmaster> but, i have entries in............ /ect/hostname
[07:26] <DARKGuy> kuzmaster: do what I told you, then it will be fixed :P
[07:26] <rvalles> in that case, set it! for gnu's sake
[07:26] <kuzmaster> and /ect/hosts
[07:26] <DARKGuy> rvalles: how, and why? P
[07:26] <DARKGuy> rvalles: :P
[07:27] <trurl> Jeeebus: no wait...whats your primary boot device? <g>
[07:27] <kuzmaster> but, like, when i look on my routers web interface, it says the hostname is....unknown
[07:27] <kuzmaster> but all the others are there
[07:28] <timephoenix> any suggestions for the gdm problem?
[07:28] <kuzmaster> honestly, i dont think the problem is with apache
[07:28] <kuzmaster> !hostname
[07:28] <ubotu> Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly
[07:28] <kuzmaster> grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[07:28] <kuzmaster> it just wont set!
[07:29] <kuzmaster> i might do a fresh install............ but i dont really want to
[07:29] <DARKGuy> kuzmaster: could you even try to do what I told you? =/ that's how I removed that message anyways
[07:29] <timephoenix> lol @kuzmaster. you're not the only one considering doing that
[07:29] <DARKGuy> kuzmaster: and it was in a howto I think
[07:29] <kuzmaster> hmmmmmmmmmm........ i try
[07:30] <kuzmaster> cos the main problem, is, i cant ftp, when i try to transfer a file it just says "Critical Transfer
[07:30] <kuzmaster> Error"
[07:30] <DARKGuy> kuzmaster: ah, then it's your ftp thingy, not apache :p
[07:30] <kuzmaster> yeah
[07:30] <kuzmaster> i know
[07:30] <kuzmaster> eh
[07:31] <kuzmaster> im really sure its a problem with my hostname..........
[07:31] <DARKGuy> I have no idea then :(
[07:31] <kuzmaster> how can i check its hostname, from another computer?
[07:32] <kuzmaster> how can i check its hostname from another computer?
[07:33] <kuzmaster> ive downloaded nmap, but, i dont like it: what do i need to do to get the hostname of a remote computer?
[07:34] <timephoenix> any advances on my gdm problem? i would prefer not to reinstall, but it might be quicker, at this rate.
[07:34] <j0rd> Question about the live CDs. Ive got it running here on my computer. I've installed sshd via apt-get but it seems none of the computers on my network can see the open port. Is there some fancy port blocking i don't know about on the livecd?
[07:34] <dsnyders> !install
[07:34] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[07:34] <somerville32> timephoenix, What is your gdm problem?
[07:34] <steve256> can ubuntu resize ntfs partitions?
[07:35] <steve256> and what tool does it uses for do that?
[07:35] <steve256> gparted?
[07:35] <timephoenix>  cannot get breezy to start gdm as default on boot, while I am receiving a hal error when reaching gnome desktop
[07:35] <boink> the best ntfs size is zero .. and ubuntu can do that
[07:36] <timephoenix> used sysv-rc-conf, gdm is set to start at boot. problem only occured after Mandrake 06 installed its own Grub
[07:36] <w30> Jeeebus, boot your live cd and point your web browser to "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?highlight=%28grub%29". Every thing you need to repair grub is there.
[07:36] <j0rd> steve256: http://ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=301173&highlight=resize+nfts+partition
[07:36] <timephoenix> ubuntu's menu.lst entry is identical to the original, apart from the graphical boot stuff
[07:36] <w30> Jeeebus, and more than you want
[07:36] <j0rd> steve256: i would suggest checking the forums before IRC
[07:36] <burepe> hi
[07:37] <godless> Hey I went to turn gdm off in the xfce service manager and it gave me a big ugly warning about data loss and whatnot. I just want to save some memory by starting in text mode and trashing the gui login... is there something I should be aware of or can I just switch off gdm?
[07:37] <kuzmaster> its official
[07:38] <kuzmaster> it dosnt have a hostname
[07:38] <kuzmaster> looks like im gonna have to re-install it
[07:38] <kuzmaster> unless anyone else has any ideas?
[07:39] <DBO> kuzmaster, whats the issue?
[07:39] <kuzmaster> it has no hostname
[07:39] <DBO> what is "it"
[07:39] <kuzmaster> when i do hostname, hostname -f, it returns what the hostname should be
[07:39] <kuzmaster> the hostname should be "frankie"
[07:40] <DBO> cat /etc/hosts | grep <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:40] <burepe> I am setting up a static ip with this http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p3 but it didn't work. Could it be because I am using optical fiber, that the static ip address that the faq recommends can't be used? This is my ip address now  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  How can I make my ip address static? What should I put as the static ip address?
[07:40] <kuzmaster> DBO: 'it' is my ubuntu server
[07:40] <kuzmaster> <IP_ADDRESS>       localhost
[07:40] <kuzmaster> DBO: that comman outputted this: <IP_ADDRESS>       localhost
[07:41] <boink> burepe: use System->Administration->Network Tools
[07:41] <DBO> kuzmaster, ok, in your /etc/hosts file change that line to read "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost YOURHOSTNAME"
[07:41] <boink> and for the ip-number/gateway/dns, you need to ask your ISP
[07:42] <francis> how to join ubuntu with windows workgroup?
[07:42] <kuzmaster> so..... somthing like........... "<IP_ADDRESS>localhost frankie"?
[07:42] <boink> samba
[07:42] <kuzmaster> because, this is just to serve an intranet
[07:42] <boink> apt-get install samba smbfs
[07:42] <antok> hai.......................
[07:42] <DBO> kuzmaster, yeah thats fine
[07:42] <francis> boink: i already installed samba...but i dont know how to configure it.
[07:42] <burepe> boink: if I do what should I set the static ip to?
[07:43] <DBO> kuzmaster, but make sure there is a space between each entry
[07:43] <sc4ttrbrain> hai juga
[07:43] <boink> burepe: use System->Administration->Network Tools <= that's where you set the static ip
[07:43] <antok> u dimana.
[07:43] <boink> !samba
[07:43] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:43] <burepe> I am not asking where
[07:43] <w30> kuzmaster, can't you just set the hostname with System>administration>networking>General>Hostname: in the men bar
[07:43] <kuzmaster> ok
[07:43] <burepe> I am asking what
[07:43] <umista> francis, > http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper theres a good doc there on how to config
[07:43] <sc4ttrbrain> whois dong
[07:43] <kuzmaster> w30: no, i have no GUI installed
[07:43] <burepe> I know where to do it. What should I set the ip address to?
[07:44] <kuzmaster> !hostneme
[07:44] <boink> the isp will tell you which ip-number to use
[07:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hostneme - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:44] <antok> u co a ce
[07:44] <kuzmaster> !hostname
[07:44] <ubotu> Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly
[07:44] <boink> some isp's don't like to give out static ip-numbers
[07:44] <DBO> kuzmaster, once you finish editing /etc/hosts, do the same to /etc/hostname
[07:45] <DBO> kuzmaster, aka make sure frankie is in your /etc/hostname
[07:45] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: ur in japan right, ur good ro go with static ip
[07:45] <burepe> boink: isn't that dhcp? are you saying I should use the ip address that the isp gave me as dhcp and set that as static
[07:45] <kuzmaster> yeah
[07:45] <francis> what is the sudo command ...and what is the danger of running sudo su?
[07:45] <boink> I don't know what your ISP does.
[07:45] <boink> ask your ISP yourself
[07:45] <antok> hai....
[07:45] <sc4ttrbrain> boink: its ok, im from the same area
[07:45] <kuzmaster> DBO: ummmm... in the /ect/hosts, there is a line llike this..... "<IP_ADDRESS> frankie"
[07:45] <timephoenix> sudo allows you to run commands with super-user priviledges
[07:46] <kuzmaster> DBO: does that mean anything?
[07:46] <DBO> kuzmaster, remove it
[07:46] <kuzmaster> k
[07:46] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain: this is my problem. I am setting up a static ip with this http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p3 but it didn't work. Could it be because I am using optical fiber, that the static ip address that the faq recommends can't be used? This is my ip address now  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  How can I make my ip address static? What should I put as the static ip address?
[07:46] <kazim59> sc4ttrbrain: GYachI is great but... bit more clumsy interface..
[07:46] <boink> 192.168.* is a RFC1918 IP-number
[07:46] <kazim59> sc4ttrbrain: GAIM's simplicity attracts
[07:46] <sc4ttrbrain> kazim59: gyachi rocks me
[07:47] <boink> what's your static IP number?
[07:47] <sc4ttrbrain> kazim59: it can voice+webcam
[07:47] <kazim59> sc4ttrbrain: didn't find IRC support on GYachI?
[07:47] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain: where you at in Japan?
[07:47] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: imon osaka
[07:47] <steve256> does the ubuntu installer ask you where to install grub?
[07:47] <burepe> kyoto
[07:47] <kazim59> sc4ttrbrain: ya it even tells u if somebody is online but invisible
[07:47] <boink> yes, the ubuntu install does install grub
[07:47] <timephoenix> GAIM is great, I really like the UI.
[07:48] <steve256> boink: i know it install grub
[07:48] <steve256> boink: i asked another thing thought
[07:48] <burepe> I tried to start a linux user group but it was tough going
[07:48] <kazim59> timephoenix: I wanted to know what GAIM stands for?
[07:48] <sc4ttrbrain> kazim59: yup ;) love that feature
[07:48] <kazim59> sc4ttrbrain: thanx for suggesting gyachi
[07:48] <timephoenix> @kazim59 - hmmm, that I couldn't tell you, sorry.
[07:49] <steve256> Does the Ubuntu installer ask you where to install GRUB? I mean, in MBR or in some partition?
[07:49] <kazim59> timephoenix: even gaim ppl have hidden it... i didnt find it on the website!
[07:49] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: im sorry ,just got back,whatis ur problem?
[07:49] <burepe> i'll type it again
[07:49] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain: this is my problem. I am setting up a static ip with this http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p3 but it didn't work. Could it be because I am using optical fiber, that the static ip address that the faq recommends can't be used? This is my ip address now  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  How can I make my ip address static? What should I put as the static ip address?
[07:49] <timephoenix> @kazim59 - yeah, that's bizzare. i've always wondered what it stood for.
[07:50] <timephoenix> perhaps something to do with AIM? It does support that protocol.
[07:50] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: thats internal ip, you should have external ip, im using kddi dion, what yours?
[07:50] <burepe> ocn
[07:51] <timephoenix> so, nobody has any suggestions for gdm issue?
[07:51] <sc4ttrbrain> well does it come with router? i did
[07:51] <burepe> Is it in if config?
[07:51] <sc4ttrbrain> wait
[07:51] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain: does what come with the router? a static ip?
[07:52] <sc4ttrbrain> ocn,does it come with router, or you connected straight
[07:52] <burepe> I was wondering why you were up at the same times I am
[07:52] <burepe> it has a router
[07:52] <burepe> it must right?

[07:56] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: its because i dont know how they set your network

[07:57] <timephoenix> @zwnj: have you edited it manually i.e. sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:57] <loca|host> anyone can help ?
[07:57] <loca|host> OpenOffice wont start under my Edgy Ubuntu, it shows the splash screen for some 2 seconds and disappear.
[07:57] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: yes when u goback the dhcp, it will give you default setting, let me look at those setting then i can help u change it as the howto

[07:58] <timephoenix> @loca|host: have you tried in the OOo support forum? they may be able to help.
[07:58] <loca|host> where's that ?

[08:00] <timephoenix> @zwnj: can you load gnome/kde?
[08:01] <zwnj> timephoenix: no, gdm cannot start X server
[08:01] <Lovloss> did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  yet?
[08:01] <timephoenix> edit the xorg.conf to use driver "vesa"
[08:01] <nub_> i think my problem is that when i do a 'uname -a' it reports me as having <IP_ADDRESS> for i686, but the nvidia driver is for <IP_ADDRESS> i386
[08:01] <timephoenix> from there you should be able to use gdm. after that you should be able to get the correct drivers.
[08:02] <Shadowpillar_> okay folks
[08:02] <Lovloss> you should set xorg to whatever you actually have, and VESA is a safe bet until your sure. I also found that installing xgl made everything work better for me
[08:02] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: have u done it, ? thenpaste /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts
[08:02] <Lovloss> but ease into that
[08:02] <zwnj> timephoenix: seems the problem is the PCI id, which i cannot find it with lspci
[08:02] <zwnj> i wonder if there's something like kudzu for ubuntu?  what's the hardware detection application on install time?  can't i just rerun that program?
[08:02] <nub_> can anybody help me out?
[08:02] <Shadowpillar_> do you think I'll have much data damage from resizing my partitions?
[08:02] <Lovloss> Its not finding your card?
[08:03] <Shadowpillar_> and should do a complete backup?
[08:03] <Lovloss> Shadowpillar_: I have never lost a single byte resizing
[08:03] <pibarnas> Is there any way to install the new nvidia driver on edgy?!?
[08:03] <Lovloss> But its up to you man
[08:03] <Shadowpillar_> loca|host: with ext3?
[08:03] <nub_> i'm seeing video, i'm guessing it's finding my card
[08:03] <Lovloss> ext3, yes
[08:04] <Shadowpillar_> 80 gb HDD
[08:04] <zwnj> timephoenix: he he, removing the PCI line makes it work! :D
[08:04] <noiesmo> pibarnas, here's a nice package that will install beat drivers https://launchpad.net/products/envy
[08:04] <Shadowpillar_> I'm gonna resize and put XP on the side
[08:04] <timephoenix> zwnj: woohoo!
[08:04] <Lovloss> i resize my data partition all the time, Shadowpillar, on an external HDD 150 gig
[08:04] <zwnj> timephoenix: thanks man
[08:04] <Shadowpillar_> loca|host: did you expand or shrink?
[08:04] <noiesmo> pibarnas, follow the external link to homepage to download deb package
[08:04] <Lovloss> shrink usually
[08:04] <zwnj> timephoenix: but, what about another question?
[08:04] <nub_> device manager reports the vendor of my card properly, but the device reads "Unknown (0x0291)"
 great! thank you!
[08:04] <zwnj> is there something like kudzu for ubuntu?  what's the hardware detection application on install time?  can't i just rerun that program?
[08:04] <Lovloss> i had to increase the size of my swap
[08:04] <loca|host> Shadowline, are you talking to me ?
[08:05] <Shadowpillar_> loca|host: sorry
[08:05] <timephoenix> zwnj: possibly... i'm not sure sorry.
[08:05] <noiesmo> pibarnas, it downloads the nvidia one from site then runs the installer you will need the linux-headers to match your kernal
[08:05] <Lovloss> YOu see, when you shrink the size of the partition it cuts from the end, where there's no data. You *might* want to scan the drive first though, to make sure there's no data flung about
[08:05] <Shadowpillar_> Lovloss: did you expand the space or shrink it down?
[08:05] <Lovloss> Shadowpillar_: shrunk
[08:05] <Shadowpillar_> Lovloss: yeah
[08:05] <Shadowpillar_> alright
 okay!
[08:05] <dsnyders> Is it possible to run the alternate installer from the regular cd?
[08:05] <Shadowpillar_> gonna back up some stuff anyway just in case
[08:05] <Lovloss> that said, backups rule :)
[08:05] <Lovloss> right
[08:06] <Shadowpillar_> $38
[08:06] <Shadowpillar_> :)
[08:06] <timephoenix> @zwnj: are you trying to find out what your video card is?
[08:06] <Lovloss> Everything's so cheap now hehe. i love it
[08:06] <blazemonger> Ubuntu is going to free the human race
[08:06] <Lovloss> 60$ for the 150 gig external
[08:06] <Lovloss> *kisses it*
[08:06] <zwnj> timephoenix: it should be GeForce 6150
[08:06] <blazemonger> Ubuntu is the best linux distro i've useed
[08:06] <zwnj> why do you ask?
[08:07] <blazemonger> it's wonderful
[08:07] <Lovloss> *whistles* 6150!
[08:07] <Lovloss> I wish i didnt have a 5500.
[08:07] <vader_> blazemonger, same here
[08:07] <burepe> me too
[08:07] <Lovloss> blazemonger, its the best. period.
 isn't  there a download link on that page??
[08:07] <blazemonger> only bad thing is i only have a ati rage 128 video card
[08:07] <sc4ttrbrain> 2.8GHz(cel)1256G RAM 80GB HD only $300 i win ;)
[08:07] <blazemonger> and a crappy soundcard with no built in midi-synth
[08:07] <blazemonger> a es1371
[08:07] <timephoenix> blazemonger: agreed. although my friend keeps babbling on about how "it's a beginner distro blah blah" but i don't care. it's great.
[08:07] <noiesmo> pibarnas, here's the download page its the external site  http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[08:07] <blazemonger> i can't get rosegarden working
[08:07] <francis> is there a 3d game for ubuntu?
[08:08] <DARKGuy> francis: lots
[08:08] <tonyyarusso> !games | francis
[08:08] <ubotu> francis: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[08:08] <Lovloss> Yeah right. it can do what the big shot distros can :P
[08:08] <timephoenix> Rage128! alriight!
[08:08] <dsnyders> francis, there's a 3d sudoku game
[08:08] <blazemonger> timephoenix even my friend that's a microsoft fanatic even is impressed with Ubuntu
[08:08] <Lovloss> francis: Im hooked on Armagetron
[08:08] <Shadowpillar_> ubuntu is essentially debian made easier
[08:08] <defrysk> francis, sudo apt-get install tremulous
[08:08] <Shadowpillar_> and kept up to date
[08:08] <timephoenix> blazemonger: so he should be. Vista is a fricking rip off!
[08:09] <Lovloss> I dont get Tremulous.
 They do good stuff
[08:10] <Lovloss> Gates: Then ILL be fairest in the land!!!
[08:10] <sc4ttrbrain> but they have voice recognition
[08:10] <blazemonger> we need to buy a island and start a new nation and our flag will be the Ubuntu symbol
[08:10] <timephoenix> Anyone remember Acorn? ahhh, those were the days lol
[08:10] <blazemonger> what does that symbol mean in ubuntu?
[08:10] <noiesmo> pibarnas, i found envy is just a nice easy way to do it but if you have download already then you need to switch to commandline via ctrl+alt+f2 then
[08:10] <blazemonger> it looks like a alien symbol
[08:10] <Lovloss> Its three people joining hands, Blazemonger
[08:11] <timephoenix> humanity to others
[08:11] <noiesmo> pibarnas, log in. change to where you downloaded the bin from nvidia
[08:11] <blazemonger> i mean that orange symbol thats on the menu like it's on the top left corner
[08:11] <Lovloss> blazemonger: think "ring aorund the rosy"
[08:11] <blazemonger> it looks like a space alien symbol
[08:11] <timephoenix> the circle bit is arms and the dots are heads
[08:11] <Lovloss> blazemonger: yah
[08:11] <noiesmo> pibarnas, check what kernel you have with uname -r then see if you have linux-headers to match then
[08:12] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain: I am a little out of my element. Where do you think I should go from here?
[08:12] <timephoenix> enable the holding hands picture on login and then you'll understand
[08:12] <noiesmo> pibarnas, linux headers are normally located in /usr/src/
[08:12] <burepe> it is on the website too
 okay, good advice! I'll do those steps!
[08:12] <timephoenix> anyhooow... i have gdm issues. Help!!
[08:13] <boink> dammit, realplay is screwed up
[08:13] <boink> and this is dapper .. "stable" .. ha!
[08:13] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: you need to figure out your network setting, host setting
[08:13] <noiesmo> pibarnas, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[08:13] <burepe> sc4
[08:13] <blazemonger> im using edgyft
[08:13] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain that is not in ifconfig?
[08:13] <blazemonger> edgy is pretty nice except when you doublesize xmms it messes up
[08:14] <steve256> will the next ubuntu release ship nvidia-drivers by default?
[08:14] <timephoenix> I am impressed with Edgy. Very good release.
[08:14] <steve256> nvidia drivers and berl
[08:14] <steve256> beryl
[08:14] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain how can I figure that out? call the isp?
[08:14] <boink> installing realplayer myself
[08:14] <boink> see if it will work. damm ubuntu.
[08:14] <Lovloss> ooo it ought to come with beryl
[08:14] <sc4ttrbrain> yes ,its in ifconfig
[08:14] <noiesmo> pibarnas, once you have the linux-headers to match kernal then you type ./nvidia_package_name.bin
[08:14] <timephoenix> isn't there legal issues surrounding distributing nVidia drivers?
[08:14] <boink> ./realplay: line 75: 23817 Segmentation fault      $REALPLAYBIN "$@"
[08:14] <boink> damm
[08:15] <boink> yet another ubuntu bug
[08:15] <defrysk> boink, for realplayer, get it from the commercial repository
[08:15] <sc4ttrbrain> well,first then u must sure that your isp allow you , i know kddi allow me
 I'll do that!
[08:15] <boink> I did, and it doesn't work
[08:15] <zcat[1] > i still can't get beryl to work reliably. Most of the time when it boots all the window decorations just flicker constantly and nothing works.
[08:15] <noiesmo> pibarnas, you many need to chmod +x nvidia_package_name.bin
[08:15] <boink> and it doesn't work if you install it yourself
[08:15] <boink> dammit
[08:15] <Lovloss> im pretty sure nVidia doesnt mind, they just cant let Ubuntu distribute it unlicensed
[08:15] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain did you get the stuff that I pasted to you? I got what you said but I don't know what to do with the info.
[08:15] <boink> <= angry!
[08:15] <zcat[1] > when it works it's nice though. I probably need a better video card
[08:15] <timephoenix> @Lovloss: I.e. Canonical would have to pay?
[08:15] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: what? where? i dont get it
[08:16] <blazemonger> i'm trying to make a Ubuntu based distro (live version) that has gnomesword on it..
[08:16] <blazemonger> for my mom
[08:16] <burepe> I messaged it to you
[08:16] <burepe> hmm
[08:16] <Lovloss> not sure. i think youd have to pay for a license
[08:16] <blazemonger> i got her into ubuntu through the bible study software
[08:16] <Lovloss> they want people to *know* who made the drivers, not have it integrated into soemone else's software. makes sense really
[08:16] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: use pastebin
[08:16] <boink> well, RealPlayer doesn't work on dapper. great
[08:16] <timephoenix> I know that RISC OS developers had all sorts of trouble because nVidia wouldn't tell them anything without payment
[08:16] <boink> thanks for a "stable" release
[08:16] <sc4ttrbrain> boink: it works !
[08:16] <boink> no, it only crashes on me
[08:17] <boink> it works for me on another box, oh yeah.
[08:17] <blazemonger> why are these hardware companies making their stuff proprietary?
[08:17] <boink> just like skype .. some damm bug in it
[08:17] <sc4ttrbrain> boink: it hates YOU lol
[08:17] <boink> and I hate you too
[08:17] <blazemonger> are they in bed with microsoft or something
[08:17] <sc4ttrbrain> lol
[08:17] <boink> dammit
[08:17] <timephoenix> well.. nVidia graphics in the Xbox, and the Intel story i'm sure you know
[08:17] <sc4ttrbrain> boink: whats the output?
[08:18] <boink> it just crashes. no output
[08:18] <blazemonger> i have a gamecube
[08:18] <boink> no sound, nothing
[08:18] <Lovloss> People have a right to let it be stated that something was their creation. nVidia drivers *are* free
[08:18] <timephoenix> Nintendo Wii!!
[08:18] <Caplain> i have an lcd and i want to limit video output to a specific area of the screen, is there a way to do that?
[08:18] <boink> if you check the preferences, it only segfaults
[08:18] <sc4ttrbrain> boink: try launch it from terminal ,see the output
[08:18] <blazemonger> the onlty game i play on the gamecube is metroid prime and tony hawk pro skater american wasteland
[08:18] <boink> I did launch it from the terminal
[08:18] <timephoenix> @Lovloss: They're free, but nVidia has to write them.
[08:18] <boink> and it still didn't work.
[08:18] <sc4ttrbrain> segfault?
[08:18] <blazemonger> a friend of mine wants to reverse engineer the gamecube
[08:18] <boink> it's 100 percent b0rked on my system
[08:18] <sc4ttrbrain> hmmm
[08:19] <timephoenix> Linux on a Gamecube? lol
[08:19] <boink> dammit, and I don't want to have to find out what ubuntu fscked up
[08:19] <zcat[1] > i think sometimes the license technology from other companies and can't share it freely. Other times they could open it, but that opens them to a risk of patent lawsuits from competitiors. If nobody knows how it works, patent holders don't know if it violates any of their patents.
[08:19] <blazemonger> amodify the gamecube so it has usb
[08:19] <boink> this is supposed to be a "stable" release. ha!
[08:19] <sc4ttrbrain> boink: maybe u are the unstable one ;)
[08:19] <boink> no, I'm quite stable
[08:19] <Lovloss> Patents are tricky.  I think if you release something freely, the only thing thats an issue is making sure you're credited for what you did
[08:19] <timephoenix> the whole patent situation is a mess
[08:20] <boink> I know bad coding when I see it
[08:20] <sc4ttrbrain> OMG LOL
[08:20] <gilad_g> hello, can someone please help me? i just installed ubuntu 6.10, and my keyboard is frozen at login time -- i can't type in a user name to log in... num/caps lock don't work either. mouse works.
[08:20] <krznpsk> i'm trying to get dual monitors working using an ATI Radeon + Intel Integrated Graphics ... i have been messing around with xorg.conf, but my right monitor (intel onboard) is still black ... can anyone help me?
[08:20] <zcat[1] > Lovloss: I wich it worked that way. Unfortunately you can write completely original software without looking at anything else and still have a good chance of using something someone else has patented
[08:20] <zcat[1] > *wish
[08:20] <nub_> can somebody help me with the nvidia drivers for edgy?
[08:21] <boink> !nvidia
[08:21] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:21] <nub_> it's not working for me, and i'm doing everything like i'm supposed to
[08:21] <timephoenix> help with a gdm issue plz!
[08:21] <sc4ttrbrain> timephoenix: what is it?
[08:21] <Lovloss> I agree, software patents are deadly. They are also degenerate to a working economy. Its like if only one company could control paper, because they made it first. Which is why they'll never last very long
[08:22] <Lovloss> plus, you cant stop people in the end.
[08:22] <timephoenix> i can't get gdm to start automatically at boot, and when i run it, i get a hal error
[08:22] <boink> kewl, mplayer saves the day.
[08:22] <boink> damm kaffeine.
[08:22] <Lovloss> well im off, thanks as usual for the help yall
[08:22] <zcat[1] > oh well, at least patents don't last 90+ years (yet.. )
[08:23] <steve256> patents don't last forever, nothing last forever :)
[08:23] <timephoenix> have used sysv-rc-conf, gdm is enabled at boot time
[08:23] <gilad_g> anoyone?
[08:23] <boink> !ask
[08:23] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:23] <zcat[1] > Mickey Mouse will be in copyright forever; they'll just keep extending it until the death of the sun, 20 years at a time.
[08:23] <timephoenix> problem only occured after installing Mandriva 2006, which took over grub. menu.lst entry is identical to ubuntu original except for no graphical bootup
[08:24] <timephoenix> The guy who invented the smiley face has gotta be gutted lol
[08:24] <sc4ttrbrain> timephoenix: sorry dunno bout HAL error
[08:24] <gilad_g> hello, can someone please help me? i just installed ubuntu 6.10, and my keyboard is frozen at login time -- i can't type in a user name to log in... num/caps lock don't work either. mouse works.
[08:25] <krznpsk> anyone want to help me get dual monitors configured using an ATI Radeon + Intel onboard graphics?
[08:25] <timephoenix> i have a separate /opt partition, but it's empty, so i assume if i reinstall i will lose everything i installed?
[08:26] <sc4ttrbrain> yes i think u ll lose  everything
[08:26] <zcat[1] > timephoenix: move everything you want to keep to opt and don't reformat it when you reinstall
[08:26] <KenSentMe> krznpsk: i don't think you can run dual monitors on two seperate videocards. I run it on one card with two outputs
[08:26] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain sorry that took so long. pastebin.com isn't working here it is http://pastebin.wikistuce.info/?365
[08:26] <kazim59> sc4ttrbrain: gyachi has stopped when i recieved a file... it has stopped on save file dialog
[08:26] <kazim59> sc4ttrbrain: and its downloading... i cant do anything else
[08:27] <zcat[1] > or did I misunderstand the question? :)
[08:27] <timephoenix> @zcat: but isn't everything split up in different directories? there's just a few programs i want to keep, /home is separate also.
[08:27] <krznpsk> bummer :( it worked in windows
[08:27] <sc4ttrbrain> kazim59: i never try it,but some ppl said sending file just works...?
[08:27] <zcat[1] > timephoenix: Yeah, I see what you mean. You'll lose everything :)
[08:27] <KenSentMe> krznpsk: well, then it might be possible, but i wouldn't know how
[08:28] <timephoenix> haha! i just moved house, and i haven't got broadband connected, so i'm on 56k right now lol
[08:28] <krznpsk> thanks anyway ksm
[08:28] <timephoenix> i might be downloading for the next week hehe
[08:28] <KenSentMe> krznpsk: maybe you could check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[08:29] <timephoenix> there's no way to use the alternate install from the Dapper live cd, is there?
[08:29] <KenSentMe> krznpsk: it's a forum topic about running dual screen with ubuntu. The guy who set up the howto answers regularly on most user questions about dual screen. Maybe he knows how to do it.
[08:29] <krznpsk> ksm: i tried a bunch of stuff out of that article but my right monitor is still black
[08:29] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: wait im checking it
[08:29] <KenSentMe> krznpsk: just ask in that topic and maybe someone has a solution
[08:30] <krznpsk> another thing is, when i installed ubuntu, it defaulted to my primary (onboard) graphics device and i got "no screens found" error and couldn't start x at all ... i had to switch to the ATI card to get it working
[08:30] <krznpsk> ok
[08:32] <timephoenix> thanks for the help all, bye bye
[08:32] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: are u sure u complete paste the /etc/hosts ? seems to me it lost the last line..
[08:35] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain this is the last line ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
[08:35] <ChrisBradley> Our irc server is up now...go ubuntu.... irc.ncdrink.com
[08:35] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: ok
[08:36] <ChrisBradley> Good morning everyone
[08:36] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: ok ,mine is like this <IP_ADDRESS> myusername
[08:36] <burepe> hmm
[08:39] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain You mean that is your last line?
[08:40] <sc4ttrbrain> np
[08:40] <boink> 192.168.* is a fake ip-number as well
[08:40] <boink> it's not a real ip-number, it's only for internal usage
[08:41] <Pie-rate> How do I get divx encoded avi files with ac3 audio to work? the video plays, the audio doesn't. I followed the directions from ubotu on getting non-free formats working, and it doesn't work
[08:41] <Shadowpillar_> ..........
[08:41] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain so you mean I should set my static ip address to that number? Where do I put the username?
[08:41] <Shadowpillar_> it's a real IP
[08:41] <Shadowpillar_> it's just your internal network ip
[08:41] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: your /etc/network/interfaces should be changed like this http://pastebin.wikistuce.info/?366
[08:41] <Shadowpillar_> for your LAN
[08:42] <boink> 192.168* is a RFC 1918 op-number
[08:42] <Dagfari> Could I have some quick help, please?
[08:42] <Shadowpillar_> not your LAN IP
[08:42] <boink> ip-number, I mean. damm keyboard
[08:42] <Shadowpillar_> boink: how in depth is your networking knowledge? :P
[08:42] <nub_> ok can somebody help me with a wine issue?
[08:42] <boink> what's the point of a static rfc 1918 ip?
[08:42] <Shadowpillar_> it's a real IP, it just sint a WAN IP
[08:42] <Shadowpillar_> isnt*
[08:43] <boink> yes, as I said .. RFC1918.
[08:43] <nub_> i'm getting an error about /dev/snd/seq failed
[08:43] <Shadowpillar_> they're necessary for NAT routing
[08:43] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: no problem i mean , according the howto then change that /etc/network/interfaces
[08:43] <Pie-rate> boink, you'd use a static one if you wanted to host something available only in the internal network
[08:43] <Shadowpillar_> which helps allieviate the pool of ipv4 addresses from being completely used up on the internet
[08:44] <boink> yes, and I do that on my office network.
[08:44] <Barry_> I've just put Edgy on an old Thinkpad 390E, and there's so much good stuff in Edgy, I'm looking for even more.
[08:44] <boink> but I could use samba on a dynamic ip number too
[08:44] <burepe> sc4ttrbrain then restart network? I will see you if this works.
[08:44] <Pie-rate> How do I get divx encoded avi files with ac3 audio to work? the video plays, the audio doesn't. I followed the directions from ubotu on getting non-free formats working, and it doesn't work
[08:44] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: wait, checking it
[08:44] <Shadowpillar_> calling it a fake IP is like calling swap "fake memory"
[08:44] <boink> read RFC1918
[08:45] <Barry_> My ThinkPad 390E has the "trackpoint" mouse pointer, and three buttons. With Windows, the third button (blue) acts as a scroller. When you hold the third button and move the trackpoint nubby, it scrolls through your document. Is there a way to make it work that way in Ubuntu?
[08:45] <Pie-rate> shadowpillar_, he already acknowledged that his statement was incorrect by a minor technicality
[08:46] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: then change /etc/hosts into http://pastebin.wikistuce.info/?367
[08:46] <boink> it seems they get a dynamic ip from their isp which is a RFC1918 ip-number
[08:46] <nub_> is there any way to flag a file as not in use any more?
[08:46] <nub_> i'm trying to run a program in wine, and it's telling me its config file is in use. it crashed the first time i rane it
[08:46] <nub_> ran*
[08:46] <sc4ttrbrain> burepe: then just use howto again ;) good luck
[08:46] <Dagfari> nub_ : look through your processes
[08:47] <boink> burepe: what's the point in changing your ip number if it's only a RFC1918 ip?
[08:47] <boink> dynamic/static, what difference does it make then?
[08:47] <nub_> i killed the .exe that wine was hosting. is there a wine executable in there too?
[08:47] <Dagfari> hm
[08:47] <Dagfari> check for it.
[08:47] <burepe> boink: I don't know. I want to set up a server. The faq says I need a static ip.
[08:47] <Dagfari> Wine might be keeping the file open
[08:47] <boink> but you're wasting your time
[08:48] <Dagfari> burepe: www.dyndns.org
[08:48] <somerville32> Dagfari, killall wine
[08:48] <Dagfari> ok yeah
[08:48] <nub_> i found it, there was a wineserver
[08:48] <Dagfari> ok good
[08:49] <Dagfari> nub_ see what somverville32 said
[08:49] <nub_> that doesn't kill a process for me, it was killall wineserver
[08:50] <Dagfari> ok
[08:50] <nub_> strange. i've got my nvidia closed drivers installed, getting 15,000 fps in glxgears so i'm guessing it's accelerated
[08:50] <nub_> but this program just shows black in the 3d parts
[08:50] <burepe> Dagfari: then what do I put in here? Please enter a name for the ISPConfig database (e.g. db_ispconf ig):www-data
[08:50] <burepe> Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web (e.g. 192.168. 0.1):
[08:50] <burepe>
[08:51] <boink> but that IP-number is not visable from the outside world, burepe
[08:51] <Dagfari> burepe what page are you at
[08:51] <Dagfari> the free service just has you specify a public IP address that you can update whenever it changes
[08:51] <boink> burepe: you're wasting your time here.
[08:51] <Dagfari> you can find that at www.whatismyip.com
[08:51] <Dagfari> :echo: boink
[08:52] <boink> and then use www.dyndns.org to set up dynamic ip service
[08:52] <Dagfari> yes.
[08:52] <boink> dyndns.org is really good and free
[08:52] <morghanphoenix> anyone know what package I need to extract archives in konqueror by right clicking?
[08:52] <labanux> do ubuntu upport intel pro 3945 wifi chipset
[08:53] <labanux> i've look'n ubuntu forum.., but still can't install those modules
[08:53] <Dagfari> ok as for my problem
[08:53] <boink> labanux: ndiswrapper
[08:53] <burepe> boink what do i enter here in ispconfigs set up "Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web (e.g. 192.168. 0.1):"
[08:53] <boink> what does ifconfig say?
[08:53] <OmgWtfIDiedLol> labanux, yes
[08:54] <OmgWtfIDiedLol> labanux, without ndiswrapper
[08:54] <boink> and ask your isp if you have a dynamic or static ip number

[08:55] <boink> you have a 192.168. number
[08:55] <boink> are you using a router?
[08:55] <burepe> and i cant send messages to people
[08:55] <boink> all I wanted was the ip-number
[08:55] <burepe> then say that
[08:55] <labanux> OmgWtfIDiedLol : without ndiswrapper?? what is this mean??
[08:55] <boink> !ndiswrapper
[08:55] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:55] <burepe> yesh
[08:55] <burepe> yes
[08:55] <OmgWtfIDiedLol> labanux, as stated, try googling ipw3945
[08:55] <labanux> i've try'n googling to find that
[08:56] <OmgWtfIDiedLol> labanux, and you don't get proper results>
[08:56] <boink> does your router have a dyndns client built in?
[08:56] <OmgWtfIDiedLol> labanux, just a second i'll get a link
[08:56] <boink> I have a netgear router, and it has a dyndns client in the firmware
[08:56] <OmgWtfIDiedLol> labanux, read this page http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/
[08:56] <OmgWtfIDiedLol> labanux, that is what you need to get your card working
[08:57] <burepe> I don't know
[08:57] <boink> well, you need to check it
[08:57] <burepe> how
[08:57] <boink> log into the router
[08:57] <burepe> that is not the question I am asking
[08:57] <boink> I don't know which router you have
[08:57] <burepe> I want to know what to enter here
[08:57] <boink> c'mon, I can't hold your hand all the time here
[08:57] <burepe> boink what do i enter here in ispconfigs set up "Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web (e.g. 192.168. 0.1):"
[08:57] <boink> that depends on your ip-number
[08:57] <Dagfari> burepe
[08:57] <boink> burepe: are you trolling here?
[08:57] <labanux> OmgWtfIDiedLol : i've read that. I've download ieee82**, ipw 3945, ipw3945d, and firmware package
[08:58] <Dagfari> burepe go to www.whatismyip.com and use THAT NUMBER.
[08:58] <boink> Dagfari: but that won't work if it's a dynamic ip
[08:58] <Dagfari> it will for dyndns
[08:58] <boink> sure, it will work fine
[08:58] <Dagfari> he just has to update it every time his modem resets
[08:58] <boink> but you need to set up a dyndns client
[08:58] <labanux> OmgWtfIDiedLol: doe to it's instruction, i need to install ieee8** first, then continue with ipw3945
[08:58] <Dagfari> yes
[08:58] <boink> and an account with dyndns.org
[08:58] <Dagfari> you don't need a client
[08:58] <Dagfari> just the account
[08:59] <boink> how does your computer give the info to dyndns.org?
[08:59] <Dagfari> you can update it on the dyndns website
[08:59] <labanux> OmgWtfIDiedLol: ieee* succes installed, but ipw3945 can't be installed
[08:59] <Dagfari> manually
[08:59] <burepe> I am looking to figure something out and people keep on chiming in misunderstanding the problem and when I try to follow up the send me on a wild goose chase and make me more confused. Then I am told I am wasing my time. Or go away. I help people on their level when they need it. you should do the same
[08:59] <boink> heh .. that's lame, Dagfari
[08:59] <burepe> dagfari thank you
[08:59] <Dagfari> boink: I know
[08:59] <boink> how? perl script?
[08:59] <boink> burepe: stop being so demanding.
[08:59] <boink> I've tried to help you and you're not listening
[08:59] <Dagfari> hahaha
[09:00] <Dagfari> hahaha
[09:00] <burepe> stop telling me I am wasting my time
[09:00] <boink> good, stop wasting your time then
[09:00] <burepe> I am listening you don't explain well
[09:00] <boink> you don't listen well
[09:00] <Pie-rate> When I try to test my sound, it says "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Resource busy or not available."
[09:00] <Dagfari> *facepalm*
[09:01] <Dagfari> hey boink
[09:01] <Dagfari> any ideas on the issue I'm having with permissions?
[09:01] <boink> no idea, what's the problem?
[09:02] <boink> I'm just so pissed off that realplay doesn't work anymore. grrrrrrr
[09:02] <Dagfari> does realplayer -ever- work?
[09:02] <boink> heh .. that's a good point
[09:02] <Vuen> woah
[09:02] <Vuen> x just spontaneously restarted on me
[09:02] <crimsun> realplay does work, but the plugin needs to be recompiled against firefox 2 with gcc-4.1
[09:03] <Dagfari> basically, I mount my portable (ntfs) hard drive (manually for now pfft set up automatic later), and it gives me "permission denied" to cd to and dir in with every user except root
[09:03] <Vuen> i was listening to music... suddenly the screen died... showed a bunch of services restarting (ssh, samba, etc)
[09:03] <labanux> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs <-- i didn't find about 3945 chipset here..
[09:03] <Vuen> then x restarted
[09:03] <Vuen> where should i look for log files on what happened?
[09:03] <crimsun> in edgy, the plugin will cause ff 2 to segfault
[09:03] <mnepton> Dagfari: change perms on the mount point
[09:03] <Dagfari> tried that
[09:03] <Dagfari> didn't work
[09:03] <Dagfari> chmodded it to 777, didn't work, 700 didn't either
[09:04] <boink> Dagfari: using 2.6 kernel? devfs or something like that
[09:04] <boink> from 2.6, the devices became virtual devices.
[09:04] <Vuen> Dec  5 03:01:12 nick kdm[4124] : X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly
[09:04] <boink> you do the permissions from devfs, or something like that
[09:04] <Dagfari> how do I checking versions
[09:04] <Vuen> argh
[09:04] <mnepton> sudo chown -R myaccount:myaccount /mount/point
[09:05] <Dagfari> k *tries that*
[09:05] <boink> grrr .. devfs is BSD.
[09:05] <Dagfari> I assume the myaccount:myaccount is username:password
[09:05] <boink> aargh, the same thing but in Linux
[09:05] <mnepton> Dagfari: username:username
[09:05] <shreeve> any useful howto's on xen + edgy + networking in DomU's?
[09:06] <Dagfari> okay.  This'll take a while.
[09:06] <Dagfari> *waits for it to finish*
[09:06] <boink> shreeve: I've read one
[09:06] <Dagfari> I should have mentioned it's a 300 Gb hdd
[09:06] <boink> but it may have been based on dapper
[09:06] <Dagfari> that's almost entirely full
[09:06] <Dagfari> :p
[09:06] <boink> google: ubuntu xen how-to
[09:07] <Dagfari> looks like it's working at it though.  it's about 3/4 of the way done
[09:07] <shreeve> boink - I've done that... but find lotsa dead-ends. in the end, seems like it's just "not possible" right now?!
[09:07] <steve256> is there a player that supports winamp 5 skins?
[09:07] <steve256> modern skins
[09:07] <lumar> guys, im new to linux but ive tried the guides and google and cant find answers. el problemo: i have installed nvidia-glx and enabled it. but when in synaptic i try to install nvidia-settings, it puts nvidia-glx in 'to be removed'
[09:07] <boink> http://www.howtoforge.com/xen_3.0_ubuntu_dapper_drake <= tried that one?
[09:08] <shreeve> boink - yeah, but it's for drake. edgy and xen 3.0.3 changed a few important things
[09:08] <lumar> how could i install settings and keep my drivers?
[09:08] <boink> steve256: maybe xmms ...
[09:08] <CharonX> Question, how do I add another OS to grub in ubuntu ? I cannot find the config file. I have a HD with windows already installed, and want to update the MBR. But Ubuntu has a /boot layout I am unfamiliar with.
[09:09] <boink> OpenSuSE has very good xen support in the yast2, shreeve
[09:09] <Dagfari> mnepton: didn't work.  I bet it sucks that it's ntfs right now, eh?
[09:10] <shreeve> boink - okay, cool. lemme check that out. thanks.
[09:10] <boink> I saw a presentation of SuSE/Xen, it was really nice
[09:11] <mnepton> Dagfari: can you read from NTFS?
[09:12] <Dagfari> yes, my /hdb1 is ntfs.
[09:12] <mnepton> Dagfari: NTFS write is ... not good. don't even try. but now you should be able to read everything on that drive/partition
[09:13] <Dagfari> I'm not trying for ntfs writing
[09:13] <mnepton> Dagfari: best solution is a huge partition that Ubuntu uses as /home and Windows uses as /Documents\ and\ Settings that is formatted ext3
[09:14] <Dagfari> so.
[09:14] <Dagfari> back this portable hard drive up to an alternate computer, format, etc
[09:14] <Dagfari> reformat to ext3
[09:14] <mnepton> wait, if you're not trying to write to NTFS, and you say you can read, what's the issue now?
[09:14] <Dagfari> oh
[09:14] <boink> or ReiserFS if you want to try that
[09:14] <Dagfari> I can read on what would be D: to my winxp computer
[09:15] <mnepton> boink: does Windows have Reiser drivers?
[09:15] <Dagfari> but not on the portable hard drive connected via usb
[09:15] <mnepton> Dagfari: format of the USB drive?
[09:15] <mnepton> Dagfari: mount point of the USB drive?
[09:15] <Dagfari> 300gb of backup is what I'm trying to avoid.
[09:15] <Dagfari> though I suppose I could pare that down
[09:15] <Dagfari> what say you
[09:16] <mnepton> Dagfari: what filesystem does the USB drive use, and what is its mount point in Linux?
[09:16] <Dagfari> ntfs, /media/sda1
[09:16] <Dagfari> from /dev/sda1
[09:16] <Deaigo> england suck
[09:16] <Deaigo> AU FTW
[09:17] <lumar> boo aust
[09:17] <lumar> australia always win = bland cricket
[09:17] <mnepton> Dagfari: sudo chown -R username:username /media/sda1
[09:17] <Deaigo> dude did you watch today
[09:17] <Dagfari> sorry I didn't notice your previous messages
[09:17] <lumar> yeah it was really good haha
[09:17] <Deaigo> we got england out for less than 100
[09:17] <Dagfari> I think I already did that
[09:18] <Deaigo> well...
[09:18] <Dagfari> yes I did
[09:18] <mnepton> Dagfari: then you should be able to read from the USB drive
[09:18] <lumar> i gtg
[09:18] <Dagfari> still can't though
[09:18] <Dagfari> this is what has me annoyed.
[09:18] <jerb_> cool, flash works after this latest update
[09:18] <mnepton> Dagfari: sudo chmod -R +r /media/sda1/*
[09:18] <atarinox> so my sound card suddenly isn't working....is there a reason it would suddenly stop working that isn't a hardware failure
[09:19] <Dagfari> jerb_ : I KNOW!
[09:19] <crimsun> atarinox: probably a mixer config issue
[09:19] <crimsun> atarinox: pastebin ``amixer'' output
[09:19] <Dagfari> ok doing
[09:19] <Dagfari> mnepton: this'll take a minute or two
[09:19] <ademan> is there any way to tell if a repository is down?  I tried going to the URL, but i just got a blank page (i didn't really expect to see anything though) so it seems the server is up, but the repository...
[09:20] <DARKGuy> ademan: what's the url?
[09:20] <atarinox> crimsun: pastebin is a bash command?
[09:20] <rob> any reason for the edgy live cd installer to be running soooo slow on my laptop? (it was running windows xp fine)
[09:21] <ademan> DARKGuy: well here's the deb line deb http://ubuntu.compiz.net/ edgy main-edgy  it was working a while ago
[09:21] <Dagfari> mnepton: [You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "sda1".]
[09:22] <ademan> DARKGuy: well by a while ago i mean in the order of a month maybe, i hadn't checked lately
[09:22] <pucko-> do anyone know if there are any "unofficial" netinst images or install disks? I want to get ubuntu onto my laptop which doesn't have a cd-drive.
[09:22] <ryukun> ademan, "ping http://ubuntu.compiz.net/"
[09:22] <ademan> ryukun: as i said the server seems to be up, but i don't know about the repository itself
[09:23] <ademan> gee...
[09:23] <rob> pucko-: good luck, on my laptop the installer is painfully slow
[09:23] <rob> and I have a cdrom
[09:23] <DARKGuy> ademan: weird, the url returns nothing for m
[09:23] <DARKGuy> ademan: me :/
[09:23] <Dagfari> mnepton?
[09:23] <ademan> DARKGuy: from the browser?
[09:23] <DARKGuy> ademan: yup
[09:24] <DARKGuy> ademan: usually there's a file list if something happens
[09:24] <crimsun> atarinox: no, see the topic
[09:24] <DARKGuy> ademan: or if it's still up
[09:24] <ademan> DARKGuy: yeah no "cannot connect to server" either though
[09:24] <DARKGuy> I guess it's not up then
[09:24] <x-r00t-x> hello i need help on with this thread . please visit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1846638

[09:35] <RMorris84> what can i play a .pls file with?
[09:35] <Dagfari> it's a playlist file.
[09:35] <Dagfari> so, unless you have the files associated with it, nothing
[09:36] <Cyber_Stalker> lol
[09:36] <Cyber_Stalker> RMorris84 are you trying to listen to streaming media
[09:36] <Cyber_Stalker> ?

[09:37] <Cyber_Stalker> i was gonna recomend winamp, but then rememberd the M$ linux diffrence :P
[09:37] <Cyber_Stalker> if u have wine tho..?
[09:38] <DARKGuy> WinAmp works in WINE too, but it's slower :P

[09:38] <x-r00t-x> can any help me with music video. i got codecs . i can hear the sound . also i can see video when i dont use beryl.
[09:38] <x-r00t-x> !xxms
[09:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xxms - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:38] <x-r00t-x> !xmms
[09:38] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[09:38] <Dagfari> xmms
[09:38] <steve256> vlc also support winamp skins
[09:38] <Dagfari> xmms handles a lot like winamp
[09:38] <steve256> so you can make vlc look like winamp
[09:39] <Dagfari> O:
[09:39] <anurag_> ah, we need a winamp clone :P
[09:39] <steve256> you would like to try bmpx, audacious,e tc
[09:39] <FirstStrike> anurag_: xmms.
[09:39] <Cyber_Stalker> lol @ this
[09:40] <Cyber_Stalker> wtf is this?
[09:40] <FirstStrike> xmms is essentially a winamp clone
[09:40] <anurag_> Firetech, understood ;)
[09:40] <steve256> xmms2 is nice
[09:41] <DARKGuy> steve256: it's on the repos? what's the difference anyways oO
[09:42] <steve256> xmms2 is a new player designed from scratch
[09:42] <DARKGuy> oh, rewrit
[09:42] <DARKGuy> *rewrite, nice
[09:42] <steve256> yeh
[09:42] <DARKGuy> does it conflicts with xmms or do I have to uninstall it?
[09:42] <anurag_> Does anyone have an idea about proxy and all
[09:43] <anurag_> recently, i had been attacked by IRC worm.
[09:43] <steve256> bmpx is also designed from scratch, beep media player was a fork of xmms1 that used gtk2, but they rewrited and now is bmpx
[09:43] <anurag_> need some advice
[09:43] <RMorris84> while on the subject lol... anyone know of some good streaming music feeds?
[09:43] <x-r00t-x> lol @ anurag_ . reinstall xchat
[09:43] <Dagfari> lol /b/radio
[09:43] <RMorris84> (offtopic i know)
[09:43] <FirstStrike> deb http://exodus.xmms.se/debian dapper main for xmms2 in your sources.list
[09:43] <steve256> DARKGuy: no it doesn't conflict with xmms1
[09:44] <DARKGuy> steve256: cool
[09:44] <Dagfari> debian\ dapper\ main?
[09:44] <DARKGuy> FirstStrike: Ah, thanks for that =) - shouldn't it be edgy oO?
[09:44] <FirstStrike> Uh, no?
[09:44] <x-r00t-x> FirstStrike, can you give me download link for edgy gnome
[09:44] <FirstStrike> They only have releases for breezy and dapper in the repos right now
[09:44] <FirstStrike> Nothing for edgy yet
[09:44] <Dagfari> oh mnepton
[09:44] <Dagfari> mnept
[09:44] <steve256> xmms2 uses sqlib for storing music info, uses a client <-> server model, and is fast, supports many formats, codecs, etc, and you choose the client that you want
[09:45] <Dagfari> I'm running 2.6.15-27-386 in case you were still wondering
[09:45] <steve256> is still in development thought
[09:45] <FirstStrike> x-r00t-x: Um..sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop I believe
[09:45] <DARKGuy> nice nice
[09:45] <x-r00t-x> :(
[09:45] <x-r00t-x> FirstStrike,  lol i am not about xmms not gnome desktop
[09:46] <FirstStrike> ..oh
[09:46] <FirstStrike> you weren't very clear
[09:46] <steve256> DARKGuy: http://xmms2.xmms.org :)
[09:46] <x-r00t-x> yeah
[09:46] <FirstStrike> http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/index.php/Download_XMMS2#Dapper_Drake

[09:46] <DARKGuy> steve256, FirstStrike: thanks :)
[09:46] <DARKGuy> Aww
[09:46] <FirstStrike> You will have to compile the source
[09:46] <keeganX> Can I install the dapper package in edgy?
[09:47] <FirstStrike> I don't see why not..though it may not work right.
[09:47] <x-r00t-x> FirstStrike, ok give me the download link i will compile it .hehe
[09:47] <keeganX> I just want to see how it is

[09:57] <Yul> edgy
[09:57] <anurag_> and tell me what you try to install
[09:58] <Yul> uhm..
[09:58] <Yul> at first
[09:59] <Yul> i choose  VLC to install
[09:59] <anurag_> and
[09:59] <Yul> it installing failed  that i don't know why
[09:59] <Yul> i cancel it
[09:59] <x-r00t-x> try apt-get install vlc
[10:00] <Yul> then i can install anything more from Add/Remove app.
[10:00] <utab> I have upgraded to feisty but default font size is too small
[10:01] <Yul> thanks  but now i can't install anything from add/remove app.
[10:01] <utab> do I have to play with the resolution
[10:02] <x-r00t-x> Yul,  is your apt-get update . showing ok?
[10:02] <Yul> yes.  it updating  right now

[10:04] <Yul> nope guys
[10:04] <anurag_> umm

[10:04] <Yul> when it updated.. nothing happen
[10:04] <Yul> i still can't install any from add/remove app.
[10:04] <anurag_> Yul, maybe because of broken package or something
[10:04] <x-r00t-x> :P then try your best friend called ubuntuforum
[10:05] <anurag_> try reinstalling it
[10:05] <obi-wan_> hi

[10:06] <maynoth> hello
[10:07] <obi-wan_> maynoth: hi
[10:07] <x-r00t-x> Yul,  try to reinstall ubuntu again :D
[10:07] <maynoth> can anyone tell me how to schedule a fsck on reboot?
[10:07] <ravve> Anyone who've gotten a widescreen resolution to work with an Intel Broadwater card?
[10:07] <shooshu> when i turn my computer on, it starts up normally  bringing up the ubuntu loading essential drivers..  etc.. and then it continues to load and then it brings  up a new screen that is black and has white writing saying    "BusyBox v1.01 (Debian 1:1.01-4ubuntu3) Built-in shell (ash)   Enter 'Help' for a list of built-in commants /bin/sh: can't access tty; Job control turned off. and then when i type in #help it brings up: Built-in commands: . : alias bg bre

[10:07] <Yul> yarkkk...... OK ^^'
[10:07] <anurag_> haha, Yul must be fustrated by now :P
[10:08] <silent_scream> morning
[10:09] <Yul> anurag_ i think so.  maybe because of broken package
[10:09] <maynoth> when I run sudo fsck  it says running while hard drives are mounted could cause serious damage
[10:09] <anurag_> Yul, try this "apt-get -f install"
[10:09] <maynoth> is it possible to run a fsck at startup?
[10:09] <anurag_> and apt-get install vlc
[10:10] <Yul> but is reinstall only one answe  for me?
[10:10] <Yul> ok i'll try it now
[10:10] <Yul> thank you all
[10:10] <x-r00t-x> sudo apt-get install vlc
[10:10] <anurag_> ;)
[10:10] <x-r00t-x> np:P
[10:11] <maynoth> does anyone here know alot about the fsck command?
[10:11] <shooshu> it says /bin/sh: sudo: not found
[10:11] <jared_> I ran dist upgrate, and when it was finished it said it couldn't get all the packages.
[10:12] <silent_scream> my prob is: i try to log into gnome, I give username and pass, and doesn't boot! It just shows me a brown screen and the mouse! no panels no nothing, I can't even use the terminal, the only thing that works is ctrl+alt_backspace! so i exitedand and logged in the gnome terminal mode, and gave the command "top" it showed me that "esd" uses 100% of cpu!!! is this what it faults? what should i do???
[10:13] <RMorris84> is there a way to make the kiba dock pull up my session of gaim instead of opening a new gaim everytime i click it
[10:14] <maynoth> does anyone here have a link to that automatic script which mounts hard drives?
[10:16] <ryukun> silent_scream, I'd try to kill esd
[10:17] <ThePub> good morning
[10:17] <silent_scream> ryukun yes i did that in the terminal mode, then i exited, tried to log into gnome again, and i had the same prob...
[10:17] <anurag_> Yul, Ping
[10:17] <shooshu> hey guys. im sorry, but when i turn my computer on, it starts up normally  bringing up the ubuntu loading essential drivers..  etc.. and then it continues to load and then it brings  up a new screen that is black and has white writing saying    "BusyBox v1.01 (Debian 1:1.01-4ubuntu3) Built-in shell (ash)   Enter 'Help' for a list of built-in commants /bin/sh: can't access tty; Job control turned off. then it brings up heaps of other stuff.. can any body h

[10:18] <shooshu> ...does WoW even work on linux
[10:18] <DARKGuy> bray: what problems? wine or cedega? oO
[10:18] <DARKGuy> shooshu: it does
[10:18] <shooshu> really
[10:18] <DARKGuy> shooshu: yup!
[10:18] <silent_scream> i think i starts esd it self, the question is how can i make the command "killall esd" when i log in..
[10:18] <DARKGuy> xD
[10:18] <shooshu> dont tell me that... its the whole reason why i changed to ubuntu
[10:18] <DARKGuy> shooshu: Lol, it works nicely nicely, pixel shaders and all that :D
[10:18] <shooshu> so i wouldnt play games while im at uni, and now i am losing al my uni work and i dont know why. *cry*
[10:18] <shooshu> shhhh
[10:18] <bray> DARKGuy: Wine. Wine is running fine, but it says I'm missing a couple .dll files
[10:19] <DARKGuy> shooshu: xD kay :3
[10:19] <shooshu> lol
[10:19] <shooshu> sooo unnnfaiirrr
[10:19] <DARKGuy> bray: Ah... dunno, mozilla activex control? could be
[10:19] <shooshu> my friend decide to leave out that minor detail
[10:19] <ryukun> silent_scream, you may try to add that line to somewhere in /etc/init.d/
[10:19] <DARKGuy> shooshu: aw, poor you
[10:19] <bray> DARKGuy: Stupid activex control... well I'll play around with it later and see if I can't make it work
[10:20] <silent_scream> ryukun
[10:20] <shooshu> lol thanks. atlease some body cares about ne
[10:20] <shooshu> me*
[10:20] <silent_scream> ryukun thnx i'll try it
[10:20] <DARKGuy> bray: people say WoW need it for working, I haven't got around to install it either so if you get a nice howto... I'd be glad to know which one was xD
[10:20] <DARKGuy> shooshu: why people wouldn't ^^
[10:20] <ryukun> silent_scream, you're welcome, i hope it helps
[10:20] <bray> shooshu: You do have to install a certain program to play WoW. If you don't install that, you're ok
[10:21] <bray> DARKGuy: I haven't found any topics where people had the same problem as me... MUST LOOK HARDER!!
[10:21] <Ash-Fox> It's that guy from Furcadia.
[10:21] <bray> O rly?
[10:22] <DARKGuy> bray: could be :O
[10:22] <Ash-Fox> Ya'rly.
[10:22] <DARKGuy> Ash-Fox: z0mg!
[10:22] <DARKGuy> Ash-Fox: ASH!
[10:22] <bray> No wai!
[10:22] <Ash-Fox> Yaoi!
[10:22] <fek> moin
[10:22] <bray> Ew
[10:22] <DARKGuy> Ash-Fox: It's you! like, wtf! :O
[10:22] <bray> Yaoi ftl
[10:22] <Ash-Fox> DARKGuy, indeed.
[10:22] <DARKGuy> Ash-Fox: Niiiice to see you around :D
[10:23] <Ash-Fox> I'm everywhere :P
[10:23] <bray> Hazz
[10:23] <bray> *Haxx
[10:23] <bray> I suck at typing...
[10:23] <Ash-Fox> bray, no u
[10:24] <bray> I swear this is one of the more fun channels on IRC... at least that I've been to
[10:24] <bray> Which proves that ubuntu > all
[10:24] <DARKGuy> bray: totally :D
[10:25] <bray> DARKGuy: I give up on WoW... for now anyway...
[10:25] <DARKGuy> bray: I had to, it crashes with 9626 nvidia drivers in this comp :(
[10:26] <DARKGuy> bray: but I swear it did work, very nicely too
[10:26] <bray> DARKGuy: Well that's a damn shame
[10:26] <DARKGuy> bray: yuh ):
[10:26] <bray> DARKGuy: Not sure if these crappy integrated Intel graphics will work
[10:26] <bray> DARKGuy: Integrated ftl
[10:26] <shooshu> lol bray my problem isnt WoW.. i cant even turn the damn computer on. i just pondered on it, i did some updates yesterday.. i think they have fu#ked up my computer
[10:26] <DARKGuy> bray: Well, in Windows it worked with my internal one...
[10:27] <DARKGuy> shooshu: that's normal :D
[10:27] <Gumby> shooshu: now you get to troubleshoot and fix it... HOORAY for learning!!
[10:27] <Ash-Fox> If you're having WoW problems with Wine. One) Talk to #winehq about it. Two) Wine's application database for the win. Three) Or you could just use the crossover office beta.
[10:27] <x-r00t-x> !X11
[10:27] <ubotu> 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
[10:27] <x-r00t-x> !x11
[10:27] <bray> shooshu: First, I almost called you Shoobno. Second... what is the computer doing?
[10:28] <DARKGuy> Ash-Fox: No way that co-beta can run WoW oO!
[10:28] <Ash-Fox> DARKGuy, it can't? They spent some time getting just WoW working recently...
[10:29] <shooshu> has any one else had any problems after they updated? like "/bin/sh; can't access tty; job control turned off - and it wont let them get past the damn annoying black screen
[10:29] <bray> DARKGuy: WoW also worked well in Windows with my integrated graphics, but then Windows died, which is why I am now using Xubuntu
[10:29] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, not had that problem yet with today's updates of libgsf and xine.
[10:29] <shooshu> ok
[10:29] <bray> DARKGuy: Though it was rather slow... on account of my laptop running 80 processes including WoW all at once
[10:30] <DARKGuy> Ash-Fox: Then I guess I could try that. So far all Furc versions and Diablo II work
[10:30] <shooshu> so... what is "job control turned off mean???
[10:30] <shooshu> its all a blurb to me
[10:30] <DARKGuy> bray:niiiice >.>;
[10:30] <shooshu> im blonde. and im a female. i got made to use linux, and i am going to kill some one cause all i have ever had is problems. i wanntt windowwwsss back. lol
[10:30] <Ash-Fox> DARKGuy, I believe WoW works fine on vanilla wine using nvidia cards without patching. But you should really check the application database on that.
[10:30] <shooshu> (now im going to get k-lined cause of that)
[10:31] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, well, you can goto the store and buy a copy of windows with a windows license.
[10:31] <bray> DARKGuy: Not really... it made it really fecking slow... I don't even know why I had that many running! I blame it on McAfee
[10:31] <DARKGuy> Ash-Fox: Actually, it does and it did. Maybe in the latest updates they changed something and now it can't get past the loading screen =(
[10:31] <DARKGuy> bray: yay for Linux, no need for antivirus ^^
[10:31] <shooshu> trust me, i had windows
[10:31] <KenSentMe> I have a slot in my laptop for memory sticks. When i insert a card, nothing happens. How can i see if the slot works on ubuntu and my card can be written?
[10:31] <shooshu> my ex who was a c#nt decided to put linux on my computer while i am at uni
[10:31] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, I forget the price but windows home retail is like 95USD
[10:32] <bray> shooshu: Or you could wait until I get two copies of Vista Ultimate for free then buy one off me for the low low price of $200
[10:32] <shooshu> and then decided to break up with me and i dont know how to do anything
[10:32] <DARKGuy> bray: low price of $200, lol
[10:32] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, that's great and all. But if you don't have a windows cd, you're not going to be able to install windows.
[10:32] <Lovloss> Anyone know how to add an image (png, jpeg, bmp) in kino? :P
[10:32] <bray> DARKGuy: It's a helluva lot cheaper than $700, don't you think?
[10:32] <DARKGuy> bray<EMAIL_ADDRESS>yeah
[10:32] <Spee_Der> Good morning everyone.....
[10:32] <Ash-Fox> Unless your system has some sort of secret recovery partition.
[10:33] <DARKGuy> Hey Spee_Der :)
[10:33] <Ash-Fox> DARKGuy, check the appdb?
[10:33] <shooshu> i do have a windows cd
[10:33] <bray> Spee_Der: Guten morgen!   Oh the green! It burns!
[10:36] <shooshu> then. when i type in #help it brings up: Built-in commands: . : alias bg break cd chdir command continue eval exec  exit export false fg getopts hash help jobs kill let local pwd read readonly return set shift times trap true type ulimit umask unalias unset wait [ ash basename busybox cat chmod chroot chvt clear cmp cp cut deallocvt dumpkmap echo egrep env expr false fbset fdflush dgrep grep hostname ifconfig ip kill ln loadfont loadkmap ls mkdir mkfilo m
[10:36] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, login and type startx.
[10:37] <shooshu> i cant log in
[10:37] <shooshu> thats my problem. i turn on the computer and it just goes to that black screen
[10:37] <vlt> Hello, does anyone know how to place *one* page of a ps document multiple times on a size a4 page? I tried using using `psnup` but it seems that it expects a multipage doc as input.
[10:37] <shooshu> and it wont let me type anything
[10:37] <silent_scream> ryukun,  the advice with the init.d didn't worked... the thing is, i managed to log into gnome , by ctrl+alt+F2 then "killall esd" then ctrl+alt+F7. so how can i make esd not to start with gnome?
[10:38] <bray> shooshu: I say you reinstall Linux
[10:38] <shooshu> ... i say lets not
[10:38] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, type the command 'startx'
[10:38] <Spee_Der> shooshu, can you start it using the cd instead of what is on the hd ?
[10:38] <shooshu> because if i do... i will have to redo my uni assignment that is due tomorrow
[10:38] <shooshu> i dont have the cd. my cunt of a ex has it
[10:38] <shooshu> i didnt get a copy
[10:38] <shooshu> soz about the swaring. im just annoyed and frustrated
[10:39] <DARKGuy> Actually, I'm gonna try that howto...
[10:39] <Spee_Der> download an iso and burn another one, then go into the hd and change what needs changing....
[10:39] <Ash-Fox> Well, you don't have a typical default ubuntu setup either. Usually the defaults are to send you into a graphical enviroment. not.. busybox
[10:39] <DARKGuy> so I guess I'm off for the night/day 'til later
[10:39] <bray> See ya DARK
[10:39] <shooshu> and i did type in the command startx and it comes up with "/bin/sh:startx: not found
[10:39] <DARKGuy> Ash-Fox: looks more like an alternate ubuntu install? =/
[10:39] <Spee_Der> Ciao DARK....
[10:39] <DARKGuy> See you all ^_^ :D
[10:40] <Spee_Der> shooshu.....   in terminal, cd /etc/X11 then have a look at the xorg.conf file.....
[10:40] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, okay.. type in 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' this should download the default ubuntu desktop  and so on.
[10:40] <bray> I should probably get heading too... it's 1:40 and I am supposed to get up at 5:30
[10:41] <shooshu> ok hang on
[10:41] <Spee_Der> Ciao bray.....
[10:41] <Ash-Fox> Then when you restart after that command, you should get a fully graphical interface.
[10:41] <shooshu> but it has a # infront of it
[10:41] <shooshu> how do i get rid of that
[10:41] <bray> Gute nacht allst
[10:41] <bray> Spee_Der: see ya
[10:41] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, # is fine. It just means you're logged in as root.
[10:41] <shooshu> ok
[10:41] <ryukun> silent_scream, did you try this? : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=238483&postcount=9
[10:42] <shooshu> it came up with /bin/sh: apt-get: not found
[10:42] <Spee_Der> hmmm
[10:42] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, okay.. you don't even have the ubuntu base installed...
[10:42] <shooshu> ..
[10:42] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, what the hell happened?

[10:43] <Spee_Der> what you need kyb
[10:43] <kybuz> en installed NEwspost
[10:43] <shooshu> i dont know. i put my make up on... i turned off my computer... i went out for the night... i came home happy... i turned on my computer and this is what happened
[10:43] <kybuz> for posting om use net
[10:43] <kybuz> now i got a bash script
[10:43] <shooshu> and now i am upset cause now i am going to fail my uni subject
[10:43] <shooshu> i love life
[10:43] <Ash-Fox> shooshu 'cd /' then 'ls'

[10:43] <kybuz> i know  i have to make it executable with chmod 777
[10:43] <skmidry__> I have a problem with wireless ipw3945 on my HP laptop dv5220us
[10:44] <kybuz> but where do i have save the script
[10:44] <Agiofws> what is esd ? its using 100% of cpu  and gnome won't start i ahve to kill it every time ?
[10:44] <shooshu> ok
[10:44] <kybuz> or doesn't matter where
[10:44] <skmidry__> I have seen all the threads in ubuntuforums with tag ipw3945
[10:44] <skmidry__> Edgy seems to have a problem with this wireless chipset
[10:44] <shooshu> it says cd: 4: can't do cd to /ls
[10:44] <Ash-Fox> That should give a listing of all the folders in root. Hopefully your home folder is still intact.
[10:44] <Ash-Fox> I said 'cd /' and then 'ls'
[10:45] <Ash-Fox> Two different commands.
[10:45] <silent_scream> ryukun,  thnx i'll try it
[10:45] <Agiofws> where can i disable esd in start up ?  in ubuntu ?
[10:45] <shooshu> ohh
[10:45] <Agiofws> the path ?
[10:45] <shooshu> i dee

[10:45] <Trist_an> Is it possible to have two different session open at the same time like it is the case on Windows XP?
[10:45] <shooshu> ok, it brings up dev bin etc modules scripts usr proc var root conf lib sbin init sys tmp
[10:46] <bp0> woohoo! got dvd working finally. the "easy guides" are crap, btw.
[10:46] <bp0> thanks
[10:46] <silent_scream> ryukun,  gstream-properties doesn't exist!
[10:47] <ryukun> silent_scream, :)
[10:47] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, there is no /home folder ?
[10:47] <DarkMageZ> silent_scream, it's "gstreamer-properties"
[10:47] <shooshu> nope
[10:47] <shooshu> ... my files have been deleted?
[10:47] <shooshu> in my home folder..
[10:47] <Ash-Fox> err shooshu.. this isn't looking good.
[10:47] <shooshu> ...
[10:48] <shooshu> now is not a good time to joke around
[10:48] <Ash-Fox> what happens when you type mount /home ?
[10:49] <shooshu> ... cannot read /etc/fdtab: no such file or directory
[10:49] <Ash-Fox> Okay, so your /etc/fstab is missing...
[10:50] <shooshu> .. ok
[10:50] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, 'ls /dev/hd*' ?
[10:50] <shooshu> ok
[10:51] <alex_t> ciao a tutti
[10:51] <shooshu> ls: /dev/hd*: no such file or directory
[10:51] <alex_t> avrei un problema
[10:51] <alex_t> con un pacchetto su ubuntu
[10:51] <ryukun> shooshu, it's /etc/fstab not /etc/fdtab
[10:52] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, type in 'bash', then try 'ls /dev/hd*' again
[10:52] <alex_t> hello
[10:52] <alex_t> i have a little problema with a package
[10:52] <shooshu> i feel like a idiot. im sorry. i did thatand /bin/sh: bash: not found..
[10:52] <alex_t> someone can help me ?
[10:53] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, well, to be honest. What happened to your system baffles me, it's like someone puposely got into it, configured it that way and removed all the useful utilities.
[10:53] <Spee_Der> alex what package ?
[10:53] <shooshu> but no one has turned on my computer since i was home yesterday
[10:53] <shooshu> and it was working fine.
[10:54] <shooshu> the only thing that i did was chat, checked email, listened to music and then did updates
[10:54] <shooshu> so i am blaming the people that made me update.
[10:55] <Ash-Fox> can you type 'less /var/log/syslog', you will find a lot of information there (you can use the cursor keys to scroll up and down). I'd like you to try to find anything that mentions 'mount', you can use the search function in less by typing '/mount'
[10:56] <whyme> hi all
[10:56] <dcordes> how can i restore the GRUB mbr in edgy?
[10:56] <Laosboyme> :-*
[10:56] <Ash-Fox> Thing is.. the only updates that were done recently were just xine and gslib.. xine is just a media player and gslib is just a simple library that isn't tied into the system..
[10:56] <whyme> can anyone help me with a little network-manager problem please?
[10:56] <shooshu> it says that it cant be found
[10:56] <dcordes> (i'm in the actual system right now because i booted with a SGD)
[10:56] <whyme> dcordes: do you have an edgy install disk
[10:56] <whyme> ?
[10:56] <dcordes> nah
[10:56] <dcordes> only live
[10:56] <dcordes> i
[10:56] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, gah.. You have no logs. Would you happen to have the ubuntu cd on you?
[10:57] <dcordes> i'm in the system...
[10:57] <shooshu> no i dont :(
[10:57] <shooshu> my ex has it
[10:57] <whyme> does the live one not have a text-mode installer when you boot?
[10:57] <dcordes> i don't think so
[10:57] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, I take it he installed ubuntu and so on?
[10:57] <whyme> dcordes: I think the command is something like grub-install...
[10:57] <dcordes> isn't there a way to do it from ubuntu?
[10:57] <shooshu> yep
[10:58] <whyme> dcordes:
[10:58] <Shadowpillar> windows XP hates my system
[10:58] <shooshu> i dont know anything about this. he just refused to touch windows.
[10:58] <whyme> dcordes: if you type man grub-install into a command line, it should tell you how to do it.
[10:58] <shooshu> so he popped on linux and then ended up breaking up with me and i am confused as pie
[10:58] <dcordes> whyme: i allready did this and it didn't work
[10:58] <whyme> :S
[10:58] <whyme> what happens when you try to boot?
[10:59] <Ash-Fox> shooshu, you really need to get the ubuntu cd or get your ex to help you. :/
[10:59] <dcordes> it says something like error 15 file not found
[10:59] <dcordes> whyme: :
[10:59] <whyme> right
[10:59] <silent_scream> den doulepse..
[11:00] <whyme> dcordes: when you open a command line, and type "grub-" and then press tab twice, what does it tell you?
[11:00] <silent_scream> ryukun, didn't worked
[11:00] <Ash-Fox> Something happened, but, I don't know what. You don't have the software on the system accessible for some reason to help us figure out what happened. The ubuntu cd does.
[11:00] <dcordes> whyme: a lot
[11:00] <Agiofws> where does ubuntu store its startup scripts ?
[11:01] <whyme> dcordes: it should give you 6 options: grub-floppy       grub-install      grub-md5-crypt    grub-reboot       grub-set-default  grub-terminfo
[11:01] <Agiofws> /etc/rc.d ?
[11:01] <dcordes> no it gives me hundrets
[11:01] <dcordes> of
[11:01] <whyme> dcordes: oh... in that case, what happens when you type "sudo grub-install" and press enter?
[11:02] <dcordes> whyme: why don't you say: figure it out yourself :-)
[11:02] <Agiofws> where does ubuntu store its startup scripts ?
[11:02] <dcordes> i allready did the grub-install command which turns out in an error when i try to boot it
[11:03] <blazemonger> when i'm in gnome and i go to the screensaver options it freezes my machine
[11:03] <shooshu> ok. thanks Ash-Fox
[11:03] <blazemonger> on the molecule screensaver it automaticaly chooses that one
[11:03] <valarians> does anyone in here have experience dealing with ccxstream?
[11:03] <blazemonger> it made it so i couldnt even drop to console mode
[11:05] <whyme> dcordes: when I wanted to restore my grub last time, I used the "alternate install" cd. I think the livecd gives you an option to do a text-mode install as it's booting. I just went through the language steps, used the "go back" button to then just install the grub bootloader. If the livecd doesn't do it for you, and doesn't have a text-mode installer on boot, then get the alternate install cd and install grub that way.
[11:06] <dcordes> whyme: ok thanks for your help
[11:06] <blazemonger> i have a rage 128
[11:06] <blazemonger> my screensaver freezes my computer
[11:06] <blazemonger> to where i have to reboot
[11:06] <mnepton> blazemonger: set the screensaver to blank only
[11:06] <tabman> I need to do voice chat through ubuntu over my msn messenger & google talk, how do I do it ?
[11:06] <blazemonger> how do i do that from console mode
[11:07] <mnepton> blazemonger: you're prolly trying to run a (random) 3d accelerated saver, and the video driver is going orthagonal.
[11:07] <Shadowpillar> what's the virtual card on vmware player supposed to be?
[11:07] <blazemonger> i cant set the screensaver to blank because when i go to the screensaver app it goes automatically to the molecule saver
[11:07] <mnepton> blazemonger: why do it from the console? just boot into GNOME and change the saver settings.
[11:07] <Shadowpillar> ethernet card I mean
[11:07] <blazemonger> i've tried that
[11:08] <blazemonger> when i select screensaver options it just freezes
[11:08] <mnepton> blazemonger: boot to GNOME and run gconf-editor from a terminal
[11:08] <whyme> right, does anyone know why the nm-applet (networkmanager) might all of a suddent (i.e. after tinkering with network-admin) not see my wireless interface?
[11:09] <mnepton> whyme: because NM shuts itself down if it detects anything else has altered /etc/network/interfaces
[11:09] <blazemonger> mnepton: it freezes still
[11:09] <blazemonger> i can't make it select a different screensaver
[11:10] <mnepton> blazemonger: how is it freezing if you're not opening it?
[11:10] <mnepton> 05:08 < mnepton> blazemonger: boot to GNOME and run gconf-editor from a terminal
[11:12] <tabman>  I need to do voice chat through ubuntu over my msn messenger & google talk, how do I do it ?
[11:12] <La_Faucheuse> hi everybody, is there a frenc chanel about linux in this server please ?
[11:12] <elkbuntu> !fr
[11:12] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[11:12] <La_Faucheuse> french
[11:12] <boink> ubuntu-fr
[11:13] <boink> nous parlons pas le francais ic :)
[11:13] <La_Faucheuse> ha ok merci :)
[11:13] <boink> bon courage :)
[11:13] <Lovloss> this is off topic but im extremely tired... so... yeah. Does anyone know what command might make an embedded mpeg on a webpage STAY on the last frame when the video ends, instead of returning to 0?
[11:13] <blazemonger> i cant find the options for changinthe screensaver to blank in gconf-editor
[11:13] <La_Faucheuse> merci (je suis tout nouveau)
[11:14] <whyme_> mnepton: how do I change it back/make network manager take over again?
[11:14] <Doow> Is there any way of setting different backgrounds for the different virtual desktops? it doesn't look like you can do it from the desktop background preferences
[11:15] <mnepton> whyme_: you edit /etc/network/interfaces to make it *exactly* like it was the last time NM touched it
[11:15] <Doow> or setting different colors for the panel different for different virtual desktops for that matter
[11:15] <Lovloss> anyone know any chat rooms that can help me with webpage making issues?
[11:16] <Doow> Lovloss: what are you using to create your webpages? just plain html or some scriptlanguage?
[11:16] <Doow> bah
[11:17] <Agiofws> HOW DOES someone stop making ESD sound server START USeING ubuntu ?  whwere does ubuntu  store its startup scripts ? and in which RUNlevel would  esd sound server start ?
[11:19] <Doow> Agiofws: /etc/init.d/
[11:19] <blazemonger> figured it out
[11:19] <Engrish> hello
[11:20] <kaptengu> I want system temperatures to be displayed in the top panel in gnome, how do I get that?
[11:21] <Doow> Agiofws: that's the general place for startup scripts, can't see anything about esd though
[11:21] <Agiofws> me too
[11:21] <Doow> Agiofws: but I think that's where it should be =(
[11:22] <Agiofws> ok how do I STOP esd from loading once i log into gnome  from GDM its using 100% mem
[11:22] <Engrish> if an iso write keep failing at the same file is it a bad iso or bad disk?
[11:23] <Doow> Engrish: what error message do you get? hard to know without that =(
[11:23] <momal> Does anyone know how I might beable to get libc6 >= 2.5 | I have edgy, and im after liblua5.1 but it needs libc6 >= 2.5 and I have 2.4 and there isn't any packages I can find for it.
[11:24] <Engrish> "Failed to read sector xxxxx: unrecoverable read error" then "sector xxxxx maps to CASPER\FILESYSTEM.SQUASHFS"
[11:24] <Engrish> did it 3 times with 2 different drive...same file location
[11:24] <Engrish> MD5 checked out ok
[11:25] <KenSentMe> I have a cardreader in my laptop that reads my sd card well. It also can read memory stick cards, but when i insert one, nothing happes. How can i solve that. Is there a kernel module i need to enable?
[11:25] <Agiofws>  It also can read memory stick cards, but when i insert one, nothing happes ?
[11:26] <Agiofws> you mena it canot read other cards ?
[11:26] <Doow> Engrish: did you get a md5 file with the iso, or did your burner program create it prior to burning?
[11:26] <KenSentMe> Agiofws: i mean, it should be able to read ms cards, but nothing happens when i insert one
[11:27] <KenSentMe> Agiofws: so, sd works, ms doesn't, but should
[11:27] <Engrish> i used Hashtab and it generated its own hash number and i check it against the help website
[11:28] <Doow> Engrish: so you created it yourself prior to burning?
[11:28] <Engrish> i guess
[11:28] <Doow> Engrish:  and then when the cd is burnt the image written to the disc fails the check?
[11:29] <Engrish> there was no md5 file to download with on Ubuntu website
[11:29] <Engrish> yeah...4x write speed fails but at 1x write...it's ok but fails at verify
[11:30] <Doow> Engrish: sounds like a broken disc imho, could be broken cd-burner/cd-reader, but broken disc is most likely
[11:30] <Agiofws> KenSentMe,  i think i had that problem  but solved it enabeling a kernel module
[11:30] <RMorris84> how can i add a launcher to bring my current gaim buddylist to the kiba_dock. The current "launcher" that i have launches the program again... I want it to bring up my buddylist if gaim is already open. Is this possible?
[11:30] <KenSentMe> Agiofws: do you remember which one?
[11:30] <Agiofws> its like reading multiple  drives in one...
[11:31] <Agiofws> check out   usb   i think \
[11:31] <KenSentMe> Agiofws: yeah, same here
[11:31] <KenSentMe> Agiofws: what do you mean?
[11:31] <Agiofws> in the usb modules maybe
[11:33] <Agiofws> KenSentMe,   try the module usb-storage
[11:33] <Agiofws> do you have that enabled ?
[11:34] <Engrish> ok stupid question...you should be able to burn an iso to a cd-rw right?
[11:34] <Agiofws> ii think so
[11:35] <gazedo> my sound doesn't go up as loud as it is supposed to, the lspci is "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)", can i fix it?
[11:35] <con-man> <3 linux
[11:35] <con-man> I just installed linux full time
[11:35] <con-man> for the first time
[11:35] <con-man> ditched windows
[11:35] <con-man> im so happy
[11:35] <con-man> <3 linux <3 wine <3 neryl
[11:35] <con-man> *beryl
[11:35] <KenSentMe> Agiofws: nothing happens, nothing shows up in dmesg
[11:35] <gazedo> Engrish, yes you can burn an iso onto a cdrw
[11:35] <Agiofws> Engrish, to make iso image do :::mkisofs -J -R -U -o trt2.iso Back-stage2004/
[11:36] <Agiofws> Engrish,  to write to cd do    :::cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd -nofix -data -v speed=10 trt2.is
[11:36] <Agiofws> o
[11:36] <Agiofws> ok ;
[11:36] <Engrish> i wonder why it keep failing on the same file
[11:36] <momal> Does anyone know how I might beable to get libc6 >= 2.5 | I have edgy, and im after liblua5.1 but it needs libc6 >= 2.5 and I have 2.4 and there isn't any packages I can find for it.
[11:36] <Engrish> may be i got a lemon cd-rw
[11:36] <gazedo> my sound doesn't go up as loud as it is supposed to, the lspci is "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)", can i fix it?
[11:38] <Doow> Engrish: try burning some other iso to that same cd-rw
[11:38] <Engrish> ok will do
[11:38] <Doow> Engrish: and you'll know if it's the cd-rw that fails
[11:38] <gazedo> can anybody help me with my sound?
[11:38] <Engrish> what iso fits on a single cd?
[11:38] <MistaED> gazedo: if you find a fix for it, you need to tell me how! :) i've come across a couple of AC'97-based onboard chipsets which have had weak sound output and distortion if you turn it up too much
[11:38] <Daverocks> Engrish: up to 700 MB usually
[11:39] <Alpha_Binary> Hello. My Ubuntu recently screwed up and will no longer boots. Anyone free to help me get it up and running again? (Yes, description will follow.)
[11:39] <Engrish> i meant an specific iso file
[11:40] <RMorris84> what is a good place to get gnome icon sets besides gnome-look
[11:40] <Doow> Engrish: take a look at http://www.distrowatch.com for a lot of different isos =)
[11:40] <gazedo> MistaED, will do, any idea of where to look for a fix
[11:40] <Daverocks> Engrish: um, a netbsd iso? :P they're around 200 MB i think
[11:40] <Engrish> thanks doow
[11:40] <Daverocks> Engrish: most ones will do
[11:40] <Doow> Engrish: dunno any specific offhand
[11:41] <MistaED> gazedo: i've tried the forums without much success and the ALSA man pages, all i can say is that it's not just with ubuntu, suse has the same issue
[11:41] <Alpha_Binary> I was running xubuntu kernel 2.16.15-27. So yesterday I resumed it from s3 sleep as usual, plugged in the wifi card (it's a notebook) and gksudo wifi-radar to locate a hotspot.
[11:42] <Daverocks> s3 sleep, i can already sense a problem coming on here, lol
[11:42] <Alpha_Binary> I picked one, clicked connect, and whole app crashed.
[11:42] <vakuum> How would I make something happen when a user logins via ssh? Like give them permissions to mount their homefolder, so it mounts automatic?
[11:42] <Alpha_Binary> So I tried to relaunch it and it says input/output error.
[11:42] <Alpha_Binary> I was confused, so I ls. File not found. Uh-oh..
[11:43] <Alpha_Binary> cp, mv, rm now no longer worked.
[11:43] <Daverocks> Alpha_Binary: like, nothing in /bin ? o_O
[11:43] <Alpha_Binary> Exactly.
[11:43] <Alpha_Binary> And perhaps /lib too, since nothing will run.
[11:44] <kalm> i still dont get it... the whole system doesnt boot or just some apps?
[11:44] <Alpha_Binary> At that point I had two terminal windows open, so I tried to launch another, to see if it's possible...
[11:44] <MistaED> gazedo: hmm, try in the sound mixer to enable more controls, there might be a sound booster in there as a tick option similar to the mic boost
[11:44] <Alpha_Binary> That crashed everything, and I had to force reboot.
[11:44] <Daverocks> Alpha_Binary: well the problem was that you were running an app as root... which is why something like that _could_ happen... but then again, you probably needed to be root for the wifi app
[11:44] <Alpha_Binary> And now, it won't boot any more.
[11:44] <warty> hello from vienna! absolute beginners question/ it must be possible to make a backup of my internal hdd to an external, running the ubuntu live-cd, RIGHT?? tanks!!!
[11:44] <tahorg> is edgy broken ? I
[11:44] <kalm> ...right
[11:45] <Daverocks> Alpha_Binary: not surprised, /boot/vmlinuz probably got deleted along with everything else
[11:45] <kalm> edgy is unstable...
[11:45] <Alpha_Binary> Daverocks: yep I guessed so.. though I installed that package from aptitude >_>
[11:45] <tahorg> I've made an upgrade yesterday, an now no gnome app is opening
[11:45] <Daverocks> Alpha_Binary: that's a really really bad bug... a program doing something like rm -rf / when it crashes, lol
[11:45] <warty> ok, because i was not able to get access to my external drive running the live-cd.
[11:45] <Alpha_Binary> I tried echo *, though, and it showed that files in my home folder were intact. Strange.
[11:46] <warty> i guess there is some set up to that will help
[11:46] <Miruna19> those files remained in cahce
[11:46] <Daverocks> note to everyone: _do not do_ "rm -rf /", it'll destroy the system (just in case some of you were curious :S)
[11:46] <Daverocks> Alpha_Binary: interesting
[11:46] <sc4ttrbrain> lol
[11:46] <Alpha_Binary> The error message given upon booting reads: /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root failed to mount (i/o error)
[11:46] <Miruna19> chmod 777 / that too
[11:47] <Engrish> is there a linux bible for uber retards but does a better job than "Linux for Dummy" book
[11:47] <Alpha_Binary> Now I'm stuck with BusyBox. ):
[11:47] <momal> Does anyone know how I might beable to get libc6 >= 2.5 | I have edgy, and im after liblua5.1 but it needs libc6 >= 2.5 and I have 2.4 and there isn't any packages I can find for it.
[11:48] <Alpha_Binary> I just want to know 1) if it's possible to recover the system and avoid a full re-install, and 2) could bad harddisk be responsible for all this
[11:49] <Shadowpillar> I lol'd at the fact XP hates my computer
[11:49] <Shadowpillar> it freezes on install
[11:49] <kalm> well Shadow dont cheat on it :P
[11:49] <kalm> i dont have a XP on mine anymore
[11:49] <Daverocks> Alpha_Binary: ok, that's kind of a bad problem, heh... well, your OS is pretty much dead now, you can mount the ubuntu partition under a liveCD or something and recover whatever data you can, then just re-install
[11:49] <craigp84> anyone know how to disable xcreensaver for all users - like not load it at all? it's locking up my nvidia drivers (pc never freezes with nv driver)
[11:50] <Doow> craigp84: maybe you can deinstall it
[11:50] <Daverocks> craigp84: the only reason xscreensaver activates is because it's running in the background
[11:51] <Alpha_Binary> I can sense my holidays diminishing...
[11:51] <craigp84> Doow, yeah but then you need to deinstall ubuntu-desktop :-( i just want to unconfig it
[11:51] <Alpha_Binary> Anyway, thanks a million, Daverocks (:
[11:51] <Doow> craigp84: didn't know ubuntu-desktop depended on it =(
[11:51] <craigp84> Daverocks, where is it launched from?
[11:51] <Daverocks> Alpha_Binary: if that happened to me, i would be killing myself
[11:51] <Daverocks> Alpha_Binary: kind of not literally :P
[11:51] <Alpha_Binary> Heh
[11:51] <Daverocks> craigp84: uh, might depend on your desktop environment
[11:52] <kalm> Alpha_Binary: look if the Ubuntu LiveCD has an RECOVERY option on it
[11:52] <Daverocks> ok, someone else help these guys in here, i gtg
[11:52] <selinuxium> hi all, Is there anyone here who knows how to administer a NetWare server via ubuntu? There are SuSe rpms out there, but I don't want to have to use it.
[11:52] <Daverocks> cya all
[11:52] <lamaka> craigp84, maybe uncheck "idle session" in property page xscreensaver
