[12:50] <thandavarayan> sx66: wait...then you have to set the XRes and YRes
[12:50] <thandavarayan> sx66: and Bits=32
[12:50] <thandavarayan> sx66: First try 1024 for XRes and 768 for YRes...

[12:53] <wols_> gerhard: make a symlink from your usb drive to /var/www/<subdir>
[12:53] <TheDorneMan> =-O durrrrrrrrr!
[12:53] <mwe> TheDorneMan: looking for the door?
[12:53] <thandavarayan> sx66: Did you complete the configuration?
[12:53] <gerhard> wols_ how do i create a symlink? i never did
[12:53] <TheDorneMan> no
[12:53] <TheDorneMan> see ya
[12:53] <wols_> gerhard: if you really want to change /var/www/ to something else (not advised), edit /etc/apache2
[12:53] <mwe> TheDorneMan: don't do that then
 i wanna break mails
[12:54] <wols_> gerhard: man ln.
[12:54] <sx66> I am saving
[12:54] <gerhard> wols_ i think the symlink idea is much better
[12:54] <thandavarayan> sx66: Final step is sudo /etc/init.d/915resolution start
[12:54] <gerhard> like that: ln /media/usbdisk /var/www/usbdisk ?
[12:55] <sx66> it has been configured, now what?
[12:55] <virusavirusa> fuck
[12:55] <virusavirusa> :((
[12:55] <wols_> gerhard: ln -s. otherwise it's a hardlink, not a symlink
[12:55] <gerhard> oh ok
[12:56] <sx66> thandavarayan: it is configured, now what?
[12:57] <mwe> wols_: So, do you know what's up with the untrusted warning I get?
[12:57] <gerhard> wols_ great, i am surprised how easy such things are :-) you just have to know how^^
[12:57] <sx66> thandavarayan: you there?
[12:57] <gerhard> thx
[12:57] <wols_> mwe: not really, sorry
[12:57] <haydnc> has anyone tried getting thunderbird to work with a microsoft exchange server if the only way to access the exchange server (that I'm aware of) is via a webmail interface

[01:13] <SatanGolga> Hi, i get 'Segmentation fault (core dumped) when trying to run apt-get install, how can one solve that?
[01:14] <thandavarayan__> sx66_: did you use /etc/init.d/915resolution start
[01:14] <sx66_> thandavarayan__: yes I did
[01:15] <thandavarayan__> sx66_: I am not sure does dell laptops provide a resolution of 1280x1024...may I know which series is yours....
[01:15] <yomm> Hi all !

[01:21] <thandavarayan__> sx66_: but...I could not able to find the maximum resolution...
[01:22] <HolyGoat> Man. Azureus has issues.
[01:22] <thandavarayan__> sx66_: yes I got it...its 1280 x 800
[01:23] <thandavarayan__> Please re-edit /etc/default/915resolution and change XRes=1280 and YRes=800
[01:23] <Cookiecutter> i know i am in the wrong section but im trying to install beryl and i get dpkg was interupeted have to do it manually, and when i type what it says to type it doesnt fix anything..
[01:23] <thandavarayan__> and check: /etc/X11/xorg.conf that you have same resolution...
[01:23] <adnan> hi
[01:23] <adnan> please
[01:23] <adnan> another quick question
[01:24] <adnan> if I create a /tmp/ partition
[01:24] <adnan> lets say
[01:24] <adnan> 2GB
[01:24] <adnan> and the other standard ones
[01:24] <adnan> -/boot
[01:24] <adnan> -/
[01:24] <adnan> -/swap
[01:25] <adnan> and including -/tmp
[01:25] <Cookiecutter> hope someone can help me
[01:25] <adnan> does that actually mean that the /tmp folder is actually the /tmp partition
[01:26] <Enselic__> adnan: if you mount it, yes
[01:26] <SomeKindOfMonste> wat the lightweight html editor in xubuntu?
[01:26] <adnan> I read a tutorial how to create those partitions but much is not explained why create the other ones
[01:26] <adnan> one why I need -/, -/boot, -/swap
[01:26] <adnan> etc
[01:26] <SomeKindOfMonste> !html
[01:26] <ubotu> html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and Nvu. For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com
[01:27] <adnan> enselic
[01:27] <sx66> my bad, sorry for disconnect
[01:27] <adnan> do you know it
[01:27] <Enselic__> adnan: some want /boot to be first on the harddrive (physically) because of some BIOS limitation that were old
[01:27] <sx66> thandavarayan__: what's up?
[01:27] <minisrule192> hello
[01:27] <adnan> well thats what i have
[01:27] <biojk> is there a list of graphics cards wich ubuntu supports, as my voodoo3 only gets 800*600 resolution
[01:27] <Enselic__> adnan: you might also want to partion if you want many distros to share the same data
[01:27] <thandavarayan__> sx66: I found the resolution..its 1280 x 800
[01:27] <SomeKindOfMonste> damn, xubuntu has none of them
[01:27] <sx66> so, set that to it?
[01:27] <adnan> ok
[01:28] <adnan> i know that but that isn't the case
[01:28] <Enselic__> adnan: there is no use having partitinos for the use of having partitions. I only have a swap partition, then / on a single one
[01:28] <minisrule192> does anybody know how to get the dlink dwl-g122 working in ubuntu?
[01:28] <adnan> I want to separate them
[01:28] <thandavarayan__> sx66: You have to re-edit /etc/default/915resolution and set XRes=1280 and YRes=800
[01:28] <SatanGolga> Hi, i get 'Segmentation fault (core dumped) when trying to run apt-get install, how can one solve that? i've tried rebooting, upgrade, update, removing *.bin in /var/cache/apt/
[01:28] <Enselic__> no wait, I might have /home on a dedicated partiion
[01:28] <adnan> well yea
[01:28] <thandavarayan__> sx66: After that you have edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see you have the same resolution
[01:28] <adnan> you keep your data away from other junk I would say enselic
[01:28] <Enselic__> adnan: partition depends on you needs, ifyou have no need, don't partition
[01:29] <minisrule192> I need help setting up my usb wireless adaptor
[01:29] <adnan> I need to keep junk away
[01:29] <adnan> lets say
[01:29] <adnan> and personal stuff
[01:29] <Enselic__> adnan: define junk
[01:29] <adnan> like win junk
[01:29] <kadaz> I am unable to see my ntfs drive now? how can I access this drive again
[01:29] <adnan> little programs that I want to get rid off that potentially could be headaches
[01:29] <Enselic__> adnan: well you obviosuly need windows on a separate partition...
[01:29] <thandavarayan__> sx66: Do you got that?
[01:29] <adnan> after I run them
[01:29] <Enselic__> adnan: you typically let apt handle that
[01:30] <Enselic__> adnan: just because you partition stuff doesn't mean they don't get filled with junk, actually, it doesn't matter
[01:30] <adnan> so are we still saying that -/tmp is the same partition if I have create it as my -/tmp folder
[01:30] <Enselic__> besides, I find it hard to gather junk on my ubuntu system
[01:31] <adnan> well just running it now
[01:31] <adnan> on my staellite
[01:31] <adnan> like it alot
[01:31] <adnan> but used linux in the early days in school
[01:31] <adnan> need it again
[01:31] <sx66> thandavarayan__: yes I just saved it
[01:31] <Enselic__> adnan: I'm a bit confused that you mention tmp as -/tmp
[01:31] <kadaz> did devsense get his apt-updateall working?
[01:31] <Enselic__> adnan: you you mean /tmp or /var/tmp?
[01:32] <sx66> thandavarayan__: yes I just saved it, now what?
[01:32] <thandavarayan__> sx66: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and scroll to bottom...you will see the resolution...please check does you have same resolution...
[01:32] <adnan> I mean as /tmp
[01:32] <sx66> k
[01:32] <adnan> root - then /tmp
[01:32] <Drazgo> sup guys
[01:32] <Enselic__> adnan: unless you intend to do something special with /tmp, there is no use having /tmp on a separate partitio
[01:33] <Drazgo> got a question concerning ubuntustudio
[01:33] <thandavarayan__> sx66: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf under the Section "Screen" ... check for resolution.
[01:33] <sx66> thandavarayan__: I have edited them to "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" so I can most of resolution
[01:33] <adnan> so, are you saying that /tmp is actually the partition since I have create it already
[01:34] <adnan> kind of keeps the junk programs away from my real files
[01:34] <adnan> etc...
[01:34] <thandavarayan__> sx66: but 1280x800 is missing...you add to that...for all bit levels
[01:34] <adnan> thats what I wanted to do
[01:34] <sx66> Okay.
[01:35] <__Dan> r
[01:35] <sx66> thandavarayan__: I just saved it, what is next?
[01:35] <Enselic__> adnan: well stuff on /tmp won't affect stuff in /usr even if they are on the same partition
[01:36] <Danzor> I'm having trouble with xserver. I keep getting "no devices detected" when I try to start xserver
[01:36] <Enselic__> adnan: not in such a way you should bother at least, unless you do something special with your machine, like having it as a server
[01:36] <Danzor> I'm not sure what exactly has gone wrong in the config file
[01:36] <thandavarayan__> sx66:  before that...you can remove other resolutions in /etc/X11/xorg.conf .... then restart the gdm.
[01:36] <zpfr> I am connected using shh to remote server - how do I copy dir from my local computer to the server? the command line is now /bash with the remote
[01:36] <adnan> what happens in that case
[01:36] <Danzor> I've definately defined a device, monitor and screen
[01:36] <adnan> enselic
[01:36] <sx66> okay, how do I restart the gdm?
[01:37] <adnan> if I have it as apache
[01:37] <thandavarayan__> sx66: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace....your screen will vanish...
[01:37] <sx66> Okay, let's try it.
[01:37] <Enselic__> adnan: hmm nothing probably
[01:38] <adnan> and can you run apache on ubuntu
[01:38] <Enselic__> adnan: yes
[01:38] <adnan> I have to see how I can play with that
[01:38] <adnan> but tx for your help
[01:38] <adnan> I have to see what purpose my /tmp serves now
[01:38] <adnan> hehe
[01:38] <adnan> tx enselic
[01:39] <Enselic__> adnan: np, I liked talking to you
[01:39] <adnan> likewise
[01:44] <Zmax_> I just installed Ubuntu 7.
[01:45] <Gwall> hey i got a problem
[01:45] <Gwall> when i install ubuntu
[01:45] <Gwall> after step 7
[01:45] <Gwall> at 15% installed it freeze's
[01:45] <Gwall> anyone know why ?
[01:45] <battlesquid> if firestarter is not working, is my workstation left open for attacks? i'm having trouble with firestarter in edgy
[01:46] <thandavarayan__> Gwall: May I know the name of your machine...
[01:46] <spikeb> not really battlesquid - by default i dont think there are any ports that listen externally
[01:47] <Gwall> know the name thandavarayan__ ?
[01:47] <Gwall> oh what make
[01:47] <battlesquid> spikeb, i see, but i'm running some services
[01:47] <thandavarayan__> Gwall: give details about your computer...pleaes
[01:47] <Gwall> uhm
[01:47] <Gwall> hi-grade
[01:47] <Gwall> i just partioned it so i lost windows
[01:47] <Gwall> which i wanted to
[01:47] <battlesquid> spikeb, though i suppose those would be open anyway in order to be used.. so then what's the point of using a firewall?
[01:48] <Gwall> uhm 40 gb hard drive
[01:48] <Gwall> 256mb ram LOL
[01:48] <sx66> thandavarayan__: it worked, thank you. however, my desktop effects stopped working, how do I re-enable that?
[01:48] <battlesquid> Gwall, one disk? sata?
[01:48] <spikeb> battlesquid: if one's OS isn't retarded out of the box, i dont think there is a point - which is probably why ubuntu doesnt have firestarter or some such installed by default :)
[01:48] <battlesquid> Gwall, what is step 7 about?
[01:48] <Gwall> erm what you meen battlesquid
[01:48] <spikeb> Gwall: how long did it freeze for?
[01:48] <thandavarayan__> sx66: Do you get the same resolutions which you got in windows...
[01:49] <Gwall> about 30mins spikeb
[01:49] <spikeb> hmm
[01:49] <Gwall> and i could hear the cd rom drive working no more
[01:49] <Frogzoo> spikeb: iptables is there, you need to configure it
[01:49] <Gwall> and the mouse wouldnt move
[01:49] <sx66> thandavarayan__: unknown I havent booted into windows for 7days
[01:49] <thandavarayan__> sx66: Do you see the better resolution then before...or...
[01:50] <sx66> yes. mucho, but the desktop effects are gone, I do not have the wiggle and stuff of the widow
[01:50] <battlesquid> spikeb, oh thanks for clearing that up for me! i always just thought "to be on the safe side, right" about firewall... but i see you make a valid point
[01:50] <sx66> window*
[01:50] <hounited1> erm why do i see older version of ubuntu on the grub bootloader even after i upgraded to a new version?
[01:50] <spikeb> Gwall: tried installing using the alternate cd?
[01:50] <Gwall> nope
[01:50] <Gwall> should i download ?
[01:50] <thandavarayan__> sx66: for desktop effects there is not connection to what we have done now...
[01:51] <hounited1> anyone to help me out
[01:51] <hounited1> ?
[01:51] <spikeb> Gwall: i would, and see if that will go all the way to the finish of the install
[01:51] <sx66> I wonder if i had broke it when I had installed the nvidia driver, then unstalled it
[01:51] <battlesquid> hounited1, it is to be able to start ubuntu using an onlder kernel version in case something goes wrong.
[01:51] <hounited1> erm..help her epls
[01:51] <michael> Hi All, when in ssh I press RH or LH keys I get ^[[C ^[[D instead of moving the cursor - also tab autocompletion does not work.  Can you please tell me how to fix this?  It is driving me insane!
[01:51] <thandavarayan__> sx66: You just added 1280x800 into xorg.conf right...or did you edit some more..

[01:53] <hounited1> no as in i upgraded my ubuntu but i can still see the older version on my bootloader?why is it so?
[01:53] <michael> when in ssh I press RH or LH keys I get ^[[C ^[[D instead of moving the cursor - also tab autocompletion does not work.  Can you please tell me how to fix this?
[01:53] <thandavarayan__> sx66: okay...do not install anything like that...
[01:53] <mc44> hounited1: what do you mean by older version
[01:53] <thirdy_> wats the command to register my nick?

[01:53] <thandavarayan__> sx66: good night
[01:54] <michael> when in ssh I press RH or LH keys I get ^[[C ^[[D instead of moving the cursor - also tab autocompletion does not work.  Can you please tell me how to fix this?
[01:54] <sx66> thandavarayan__: let's fingure this out
[01:54] <spikeb> shane_: that's strange. then again, i have never had that much ram, so i dunno
[01:54] <aricz> battlesquid : ps aux
[01:54] <spikeb> Gwall: good luck!
[01:54] <mc44> hounited1: well, there isn't a 6.04, but anyway, does that one boot?
[01:54] <thandavarayan__> sx66: now or later...
[01:54] <sx66> thandavarayan__: how long do you think it will take?
[01:54] <battlesquid> aricz, nope that lists all running /processes/
[01:54] <Gwall> thanks spikeb
[01:54] <ccttvv> hi guys: am totally new to ubuntu, i just installed the ubuntu server 7.05, takes me to the command prompt and now i don't know where to start, is there a GUI for server edition?
[01:54] <Gwall> appreciate it mate :)
[01:54] <aricz> oh..
[01:54] <ggg333> I have ubuntu 7  I would like to know the best vpnclient that I can use?
[01:54] <ccttvv> i want to run it as a web server, file server.
[01:54] <spikeb> Gwall: :)
[01:54] <hounited1> i ahven tried that though..is there anyway to remove that?
[01:54] <ggg333> can any one suggest me on this... :)
[01:54] <thandavarayan__> sx66: don't really know...what went wrong....
[01:55] <spikeb> hmm
[01:55] <battlesquid> what command lists running services? like apache, sshd, xinetd, and so on.
[01:55] <sx66> thandavarayan__: alright I am going to bed.
[01:55] <mc44> hounited1: how did you update to the newer version? you installed by disk or upgraded?
[01:55] <sx66> thandavarayan__: thank you for your support
[01:55] <hounited1> i upgraded
[01:56] <mc44> hounited1: its probably just the old kernel still installed, I wouldn't worry about it
[01:56] <user_> euhm, hi@all -.-
[01:56] <MrC> hi wazzup in here ?fellas
[01:56] <hounited1> so just leave it alone?
[01:57] <mc44> hounited1: unless it causes you problems its not worth worrying about :)
[01:57] <neil_feisty> battlesquid: you can try ps -e
[01:57] <hounited1> ok thx for your help
[01:57] <thandavarayan__> sx66: may take some times I guess...
[01:57] <ccttvv> hi guys, does the server edition contains a GUI? thanks
[01:57] <battlesquid> neil_feisty, you mistake services for processes
[01:58] <MrC> I was wondering does Linux is wildly used by female public as well?Or just us male
[01:58] <battlesquid> MrC, my girlfriend is crazy about ubuntu!
[01:58] <mc44> MrC: lots of women use linux
[01:59] <sq89> hi! what's the name of the default font in xterm? can I use it in gnome-terminal?
[01:59] <mc44> ccttvv: if you want a gui you might as well use the ubuntu desktop rather than server edition
[01:59] <Kilty> Hi guys I've just installed a secondary HD to my workstation, I'm going to be using to backup my home directory, is there an easy command line tool to do this automatically ?
[01:59] <MrC> is it there a girly or girly friendly distro,i am looking for a use to use distro to my wife ,she is more then a noob with pc
[01:59] <neil_feisty> ccttvv: no gui in server edition
[01:59] <SatanGolga> Hi, i get 'Segmentation fault (core dumped) when trying to run apt-get install, how can one solve that?
[01:59] <ccttvv> thank you
[01:59] <mc44> MrC: ubuntu is equally friendly to all genders
[02:00] <SatanGolga> when it works...
[02:00] <spikeb> egads.
[02:00] <neil_feisty> battlesquid: is this the desktop or server ed
[02:00] <spikeb> that is definitely a horrible sign of bad things SatanGolga
[02:00] <SatanGolga> hehe
[02:01] <klrtmto> Hello Humans! Would someone be nice enough to tell me the command to format a huge (235Gig+) FAT32 Partition on an external drive?
[02:01] <battlesquid> neil_feisty, never mind :)
[02:01] <big_bang14> i want to start learning c properly, are there any good video tutorials for this that use open source ides?
[02:01] <MrC> Try GParted klrmto
[02:02] <user_> euhm, whats most popular irc channel out there n1? thx :)
[02:02] <jrib> big_bang14: you may want to try ##c
[02:02] <klrtmto> I'm using QTParted, and with that I created the partition (actually resized the 500G NTFS one down to 250) but it won't format
[02:02] <MrC> but you need to be a a intermadiate with Linux otherwise you will destroy with you HD,like a did with my 4 GB USB stick
[02:02] <big_bang14> what is ##c? a language?
[02:02] <NewToUbuntu> Hi, I can't get sound working on my PC. I have an Creative Audigy sound card (which I am trying to use and on board sound also. I did lspci and can see my sounds card. Just  no sound. What else should I check?
[02:02] <klrtmto> id gparted better?
[02:03] <jrib> big_bang14: it's a channel, type:  /join ##c
[02:03] <Enselic__> big_bang14: ##c is a channel where they talk C
[02:03] <big_bang14> aaah
[02:03] <MrC> I think it is easier to format with Windows
[02:04] <MrC> then with Linux
[02:04] <MrC> i'm still trying to figure out how to format on linux
[02:04] <klrtmto> aah that's my problem. windows xp (which I dual boot) will only format it as NTFS. I gotta have FAT32 so linux can write to it as well.
[02:05] <logixoul> MrC, you could try qtparted
[02:05] <Danzor> Is it possble to use Beryl with the fglrx drivers?
[02:05] <sx66> crap
[02:06] <mc44> Danzor: yes, you need xgl though
[02:06] <Danzor> ok
[02:06] <Danzor> thanks
[02:07] <aspro> klrtmto, FAT32 can't go that large IIRC
[02:07] <aspro> thats why windows won't format it
[02:07] <Danzor> fglrx drivers are accelerated aren't they?
[02:08] <mc44> Danzor: yes
[02:08] <klrtmto> I've been reading on the internet about a 32Gig limitation, but that limitation is (supposed to be) in winXP only
[02:08] <Sonderblade> how do i check which package owns a local file, i.e: what installed /bin/ls?
[02:08] <bORINHO`> why does ubuntu have more than 1000 users?
[02:08] <mc44> bORINHO`: because there are lots of ubuntu users
[02:08] <Luxurious> Because it's a popular distro.
[02:08] <klrtmto> the info said to use a win98 disk and boot from it... then format. cause MS didn't have the restriction in place back then
[02:08] <tokj> uhm, because is popular
[02:08] <mc44> Sonderblade: apt-file
[02:09] <idefix> are you sure you are resting on this day? what you are discussing here looks suspiciously much like work..
[02:09] <Luxurious> I was wondering, do you guys know how to figure out what's the maximum size hard drive your computer can take?
[02:09] <michael> to <klrtmto>  you can use fdisk or parted to delete the partitions/partition table, create new partitions and then use mkfs <type> to format it - what do you want to format it with?
[02:09] <Sonderblade> mc44: i dont think that works
[02:09] <michael> when in ssh I press RH or LH keys I get ^[[C ^[[D instead of moving the cursor - also tab autocompletion does not work.  Can you please tell me how to fix this?
[02:09] <aspro> klrtmto, heh, you are right, learn something new everyday :)
[02:10] <ggg333> can any one suggest me a oss free vpn client
[02:10] <Luxurious> I have this old computer, and I'd like to put a more recent hard drive in it with more capacity, I'm just not sure how big a drive I can buy in order for the computer to handle it.
[02:10] <michael> Someone pls?!  "when in ssh I press RH or LH keys I get ^[[C ^[[D instead of moving the cursor - also tab autocompletion does not work.  Can you please tell me how to fix this?"
[02:10] <klrtmto> michael: Thank you. I've used qtparted to create the partition, just when i try to format it... qtparted tries, and fails.
[02:10] <Luxurious> klrtmto: Are you running as root on knoppix
[02:10] <Luxurious> ?
[02:11] <michael> qtparted can be buggy . . . try the command line - what do you want to format it with?
[02:11] <klrtmto> Luxurious: no. At the moment... I'm running as klrtmto on MEPIS 6.5.02... why?
[02:11] <Luxurious> klrtmto: Sorry, nevermind the knoppix part.  Are you running as root when you do that?
[02:11] <Luxurious> klrtmto: Well it's important that you do it as root.
[02:11] <Nate-> so how can i install ubuntu onto my desktop computer so that i can dual boot ?
[02:11] <klrtmto> yes... I'm using qtparted... as root
[02:12] <Luxurious> klrtmto: I think you might possibly have to unmount the drive if it's mounted
[02:12] <Danzor> Ugh, I just rebooted and it's stuck right before the logon screen... All I see is the "busy" cursor and a slightly-greyed out screen
[02:12] <ziroday> !install | Nate-
[02:12] <ubotu> Nate-: 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 - See also !automate
[02:12] <klrtmto> qtparted created the partition just fine... (it was un-mounted) but it won't format it.
[02:12] <Luxurious> !dualboot
[02:12] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[02:12] <NewToUbuntu> Luxurious - you need to check your motherboard manual that will tell you what harddisks are supported
[02:12] <Nate-> eh ?
[02:12] <Danzor> I can't find out what seems to have gone wrong with xserver
[02:12] <Nate-> i see
[02:12] <Wesley|> hi
[02:12] <klrtmto> I am going to try the mkfs command as well.....
[02:13] <Luxurious> NewToUbuntu: Okay, so I open it up, try and see some identifier on the motherboard and look it up online? Or is there an easier way?
[02:13] <user_> can i also ask Ubuntu philosophy related questions here? :)
[02:13] <Wesley|> i would like to know if it is possibly to instal the fglrx 8.28.8 under feisty, i found one tutorial for this till now and it whont help me
[02:13] <Luxurious> user_: You might as well try it.
[02:14] <klrtmto> Thank you michael and everyone else who helped me...
[02:14] <IdleOne> user_, #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support related questions
[02:14] <Luxurious> user_: Worst-case scenario, a crazy axe killer will chop off your head.
 you may need to reboot the kernel so that it reads the new partition table
[02:14] <sx66> my 915 resolution has not been configured, how do i configure it...
[02:14] <mc44> Wesley|: why that version?
[02:14] <michael> bye now
[02:14] <Wesley|> because none other supports radeon 9250
[02:14] <user_> Luxurious: ;)
[02:15] <user_> IdleOne: okay
[02:15] <klrtmto> michael: do i still need to reboot if I show that there is a partition there?
[02:15] <bORINHO`> would you recommend ubuntu for a dedicated server?
[02:15] <X-Tream|> :O
[02:15] <X-Tream|> what server bORINHO`?
[02:15] <Luxurious> bORINHO`: Depends on what you're planning to use it for.
[02:16] <bORINHO`> game servers mostly
[02:16] <bORINHO`> irc sessions bnc
[02:16] <ziroday> bORINHO`: this is a ubuntu channel so of course
[02:16] <X-Tream|> lol
[02:16] <Azrael||BRB> heya guys
[02:16] <NewToUbuntu> Luxurious, when you first boot the first screen will give you a long string of writing - it will probably say AmericanTrends (or something like) and then number and letters. Type that into google
[02:16] <Luxurious> bORINHO`: Hehe, Ubuntu should work for that.  I've been very happy with FreeBSD in that division though (serving stuff).
[02:16] <bORINHO`> dunno maybe its better as a home system
[02:16] <NewToUbuntu> Its the very first screen, when your pc POSTs
[02:17] <Luxurious> NewToUbuntu: Oh, thanks a bunch man!
[02:17] <sx66> my 915 resolution has not been configured, how do i configure it...
[02:17] <Azrael---> Hey guys, does anybody here know how to make themes for GNOME?
[02:17] <Azrael---> any program I should dl?
[02:17] <thirdy_> all, http://main.thirdy.freehostia.com/Thirdy%20likes%20linux.html
[02:17] <Wesley|> i found an tutorial till now for making rhe .run pacjkeges to deb packages, but changing that with feisty is only supportet since 8.35 wich driver i cant use since this driver whont support radeon 9250, as far as i know the 8.28.8 driver should work for my card
[02:17] <X-Tream|> gimp
[02:17] <bORINHO`> i d love to see a pro and cons of all linux distributions there in one tidy resume :)
[02:18] <sc0tch> Is there a website link that shows what has changed when a new update to a package (like linux-image/headers/libc,etc...) is shown to be available?
[02:18] <NewToUbuntu> anyone know how to enable sound. I have just installed Ubuntu, my card is recognised when I do lspci but no sounded. Tried it as root as well but that dosent work either
[02:18] <ziroday> NewToUbuntu: this may sound stupid but have you checked all volume levels
[02:19] <ziroday> NewToUbuntu: waht card and do you have a toshiba?
[02:19] <NewToUbuntu> yup I've set PCM to full volume and line-in on the volume controler
[02:20] <dcfly> i need help with my screen resolution, please.
[02:20] <Nate-> i ordered ubuntu CD's off their site, will they actually send them to me?
[02:20] <Sirrush> yeah
[02:20] <Nate-> awesome
[02:20] <Azrael---> Nate-, yes, but it'll take a while.
[02:20] <Nate-> do they send them out to any country?
[02:20] <Nate-> I am in Australia
[02:20] <Azrael---> iirc, yes.
[02:20] <Nate-> How long do you estimate Azrael--- ?
[02:21] <Azrael---> I think it took about 6 weeks for mine.
[02:21] <c0dy> Hi everyone. Did anyone of you ever come across the following error message? "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!"
[02:21] <Azrael---> Edgy had already came out by the time I got my dapper CDs :D
[02:21] <c0dy> It comes up everytime I use my new PCMCIA wireless card...
[02:21] <c0dy> And completely freezes Ubuntu.
[02:21] <idefix> did you hear about the complicated calculations made with supercomputers about the movements of stars and planets using a graphical card GeForce8800?
[02:22] <Azrael---> no.
[02:22] <Azrael---> tell us more.
[02:22] <Wooksta> my ubuntu fiesty fawn server keeps resetting just after it gets past grub (i get a "Startup up..." message and then the system resets).. I have tried re-isntalling several times & have also tried other distros which don't seem to have this problem, can anyone help save my fawn? :<
[02:23] <Azrael---> does that happen in recovery mode too?
[02:23] <c0dy> Sorry, Azrael---, were you talking to me?
[02:23] <Azrael---> no.
[02:23] <Azrael---> :D
[02:23] <X-Tream|> ^^
[02:24] <c0dy> Haha, ok.
[02:24] <X-Tream|> noone talks to you ;P
[02:24] <dcfly> i'm trying to get 1600x1200 screen resolution but it's not available from the screen resolution utility. before i installed the radeon drivers, i could select it but the display was corrupted.
[02:24] <Wooksta> Azrael, if that was me then yes :P
[02:24] <idefix> Azrael, the coordinations of the start and planets are translated to the R-G-B colors
[02:24] <idefix> ehh coordinates
[02:24] <Azrael---> it was, wooksta.
[02:24] <Azrael---> oic, idefix.

[02:24] <Jupp3> Bah, next time I will make sure that I am buying a printer with proper linux support
[02:24] <yharrow> how do i copy paste large amounts of text and give ppl a link to it?
[02:24] <Wooksta> yup it resets on both "safe mode" and normal boot
[02:24] <Gwall> spikeb
[02:24] <Azrael---> dcfly, have you tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'?
[02:24] <yharrow> instead of putting it in irc
[02:24] <ziroday> deos anyone know a channel where i can get help with amarok?
[02:24] <Jupp3> Maybe I'll just check drivers for older models through to see if I can get the current one working somehow
[02:24] <Gwall> its been on 15% for 1 hour now
[02:25] <idefix> other quantities like mass, speed and acceleartion can be put in the textures
[02:25] <spikeb> Gwall: ick
[02:25] <Wesley|> is someone here to help me with the problem that i cant install the 8.28.8 fglrx driver under feisty? would be a real help for me^^
[02:25] <spikeb> Gwall: no luck then
[02:25] <dcfly> az - no, i haven't done that - i'm new to linux
[02:25] <Gwall> nope :(
[02:25] <yharrow> threes a website for it
[02:25] <spikeb> damn
[02:25] <Gwall> and the other problem
[02:25] <yharrow> you  just copy and paste in there
[02:25] <Wooksta> ive tried taking out quite && splash from the boot options as well but it still just flips :<
[02:25] <yharrow> and then you save it
[02:25] <dcfly> what does that command do
[02:25] <Gwall> this pc doesnt have cd drive
[02:25] <Nate-> what country are you situated azre
[02:25] <yharrow> and give soemone a link
[02:25] <ziroday> Wesley|: use the radeon driver
[02:25] <yharrow> but i cant rememeber the sites name
[02:25] <Nate-> Azrael---
[02:25] <Azrael---> Nate-
[02:25] <Wesley|> ziroday: they are causing problems ingame^^
[02:25] <klrtmto> yharrow: I think you mean pastebin.
[02:25] <yharrow> yep
[02:25] <yharrow> : )
[02:25] <mc44> !pastebin | yarddog
[02:25] <ubotu> yarddog: 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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:26] <mc44> bah, yharrow even :)
[02:26] <yharrow> hi mc44  : )
[02:26] <yharrow> hehe
[02:26] <Nate-> what country are you situated in?
[02:26] <ziroday> Wesley|: your card isnt supported by ati
[02:26] <X-Tream|> O.o?
[02:26] <Azrael---> Wesley|, what card have you got? FGLRX dropped support for my radeon9200 with the feisty version.
[02:26] <Wesley|> it is supportet with the 8.28.8 driver
[02:26] <X-Tream|> radeon 9250 is supportet by ati
[02:26] <Azrael---> ziroday: #amarok
[02:26] <ziroday> Wesley|: you tried envy?
[02:26] <ziroday> Azrael---: thanks
[02:26] <Wesley|> im an n00b^^
[02:27] <Azrael---> envy?
[02:27] <X-Tream|> yay
[02:27] <Wesley|> means, no, i didnt
[02:27] <dcfly> azrael - what does that command do? i'm new to linux.
[02:27] <Gwall> spikeb
[02:27] <Gwall> im gunna try the alternative installer
[02:27] <Azrael---> it takes you through the X server's configuration program.
[02:27] <Gwall> the text based one
[02:27] <ziroday> Wesley|: auto script to dl ati drivers www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[02:27] <Azrael---> You can set the screen res in there.
[02:27] <spikeb> Gwall: good idea.
[02:27] <dcfly> okay, i'll try it
[02:28] <dcfly> thanks
[02:28] <Young_Druid> hey. after update to fiesty. in grub i can choose 2 ubuntu kernels. is it normal? and can i leave only one last kernel of ubuntu?
[02:28] <Wesley|> ok ziro, i will try that one, thank you
[02:28] <ziroday> Young_Druid: yeah dont worry its normal
[02:28] <ziroday> Wesley|: np
[02:29] <Azrael---> Young_Druid, the boot menu is in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:29] <Azrael---> You can get rid of the inferior kernel's entries in that file.
[02:30] <Luxurious> NewToUbuntu: ""NVIDIA Vanta BIOS"" is probably what I'm looking for, right?
[02:30] <Young_Druid> ok. thanks.
[02:30] <Gwall> spikeb
[02:31] <NewToUbuntu> thats probably your graphics card it might be the next screen after when it shows how much RAM you have

[02:34] <Jupp3> Anyone know a good place to start debugging non-working USB printer?
[02:34] <Azrael---> type 'sudo apt-get remove dcp750cwcupswrapper' and that'll get rid of it.
[02:34] <arant> ill try

[02:34] <Jupp3> I just noticed one thing, there seems to be missing a file from /usr/lib/cups/filter...
[02:34] <user_> hey, guys, u sent me to #ubuntu-offtopic, theres empty... -.-
[02:34] <Jupp3> Which is weird, as I sure did install the drivers
[02:34] <Luxurious> NewToUbuntu: Well it says "16MB" so I'm guessing that's not it :-)
[02:35] <Hectorus> Slt tlm
[02:35] <Wesley|> um
[02:35] <Wesley|> i just realized, i had the unstable version
[02:35] <Wesley|> 0.9.4
[02:36] <Luxurious> NewToUbuntu: I just opened it up, it's a Ubuntu motherboard, which they've intelligently hidden with a metal plate that needs to be removed before you see the type.
[02:36] <Luxurious> But luckily, you can see all the electrical info there you'd never need.
[02:36] <GeorgeAScott> anyways... i've decided to ditch the dhcp server idea... not like i have a whole network of computers to connect with... gonna go static... will work on it tomorrow... have a good night all
[02:37] <NewToUbuntu> Or could try looking at the bios screen- which is pressing del or f8 or f12 when you boot it
[02:37] <jenda> Any tips as to how i can dump my DNS cache in Ubuntu?
[02:37] <arant> Azrael: i get the same message in the terminal
[02:38] <Luxurious> NewToUbuntu: Good man.
[02:38] <NewToUbuntu> no probs
[02:38] <cusco> .wc
[02:38] <Wesley|> i think it worket, thank you again, im gonna restart
[02:39] <sebas_> do I need samba to share files between ubuntu pcs only?
[02:39] <spikeb> well you can use samba or nfs for that
[02:40] <Azrael---> you need samba for windoze <-> ubuntu file sending.
[02:40] <Terminus> sebas_: i find nfs to be faster than samba if it's *nix <-> *nix file sharing
[02:40] <asdf7> Aloha!
[02:41] <sebas_> thank you
[02:41] <asdf7>  Hello!
[02:42] <asdf7>  Is my client sending messages properly?
[02:42] <NewToUbuntu> yup
[02:42] <sebas_> if I install samba on my ubuntu as a server sharing a printer, does windows automatically recognize it?
[02:42] <NewToUbuntu> it is asd7
[02:42] <asdf7>  Thanks, telnet as an IRC client takes getting used to. :)
[02:43] <Peter>  /me is away: goats [amsg]  [auto-away]
[02:43] <user_> anyone know mb, does slashdot have their channel, is it #slashdotd i guess?:)
[02:43] <Terminus> sebas_: no idea. i find printer sharing through CUPS from a *nix box a lot more convenient than through samba, unless you still have win9x boxen.
[02:44] <Azrael---> boxen.
[02:44] <Azrael---> lol.
[02:44] <user_> euhm, Cannot join #slashdot (Channel is invite only). , okey..
[02:44] <adnan> hi
[02:44] <adnan> can one
[02:44] <adnan> change the root
[02:44] <mc44> user_: they have their own server, irc.slashnet.org
[02:44] <adnan> psswd if they are not logged in as root on the system
[02:44] <Terminus> Azrael---: what, haven't heard that term in a while? =P
[02:44] <user_> mc44: ohh, man, ty
[02:44] <Azrael---> i haven't, Terminus. I need to get out less :D
[02:45] <mc44> adnan: why do you want to change the root password?
[02:46] <Azrael---> adnan: yes, system > administration > users and groups
[02:46] <adnan> tx
[02:46] <adnan> I want to change it becasue I am logged in as myself now
[02:46] <LinuxHelp> Hi! I've currently got 32-bit wine running fine on 7.04 amd64, using these packages http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/pool/main/w/wine/ But now I wish to compile 32-bit wine on my 64-bit machine
[02:46] <adnan> and need to log in as root
[02:46] <Andeh> hEY
[02:46] <adnan> I am reading a book
[02:46] <LinuxHelp> And I dont see a source package at that link
[02:46] <adnan> basically on linux
[02:46] <mc44> adnan: why do you need to login as root? use sudo
[02:46] <adnan> heheh
[02:46] <adnan> well i tried su
[02:47] <mc44> adnan: sudo su
[02:47] <Andeh> I read you could download stuff from USENET. I just installed PAN and started it and it wants me to add a server!
[02:47] <Azrael---> being root is a lot more convenient sometimes, mc44.
[02:47] <Cisyouc> sudo -s
[02:47] <Andeh> What servers are there?
[02:47] <adnan> what is the difference between sudo and su
[02:47] <mc44> Azrael---: you can use sudo -s
[02:47] <adnan> mc44
[02:47] <mc44> !sudo | adnan
[02:47] <ubotu> adnan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:47] <cox377> does anyone know of a terminal based IP bandwidth monitor that would show total usage month etc?
[02:47] <Azrael---> mmm, sudo -s
[02:47] <mc44> that link explains
[02:48] <Azrael---> yummy
[02:48] <Andeh> Also, can i download stuff using PAN. I mean movies etc
[02:48] <adnan> ok
[02:49] <adnan> is it going to ask me for the psswd
[02:49] <Andeh> Can i download binary files using PAN?
[02:49] <adnan> and what if I don't have it
[02:49] <Andeh> Not just news
[02:49] <anto> Heya, how do i setup a new user in proftpd that can only access two certain folder but can create new files directories delete and append data?
[02:49] <NewToUbuntu> anyone know what I should check to get sound working. lspci says my card is detected and mixer volumes all turned up. I have on board sound card and PCI could they be conflicting?

[02:50] <Azrael---> X-Chat.
[02:50] <marco_linux> hello, I am trying to run Ubuntu Feisty on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7310gW, but it seems not to start the X. Any Ideas?
[02:50] <Azrael---> Or, you can use irssi if you want, doc.
[02:50] <NewToUbuntu> i dont think it is can i disable it from the Ubuntu
[02:50] <ziroday> DocTrax: there a few the most famous being x-chat gaim and kopete
[02:50] <ziroday> oh and irssi
[02:50] <dfgas> do we have any eggdrop pros in here, i am wondering if i can convert 1.6.15 config to 1.6.18
[02:51] <marco_linux> hello, I am trying to run Ubuntu Feisty on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7310gW, but it seems not to start the X. Any Ideas?

[02:51] <cox377> NewToUbuntu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base
[02:51] <thirdy_> is there testmyhardware.com for linux?

[02:53] <marco_linux> hello, I am trying to run Ubuntu Feisty on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7310gW, but it seems not to start the X. Any Ideas?
[02:53] <mc44> rmd_: oh, I misunderstood I think, you want to show the volumes as icons on the desktop
[02:53] <rmd_> mc44, yeah, thats what i'm looking for
[02:54] <marco_linux> I need some help here, I am trying to run Ubuntu Feisty on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7310gW, but it seems not to start the X. Any Ideas?
[02:54] <anto> Heya, how do i setup a new user in proftpd that can only access two certain folder but can create new files directories delete and append data?
[02:54] <cox377> marco_linux: if no one know, try the ubuntu forums - if you have a problem, someone has already had it and solved it
[02:54] <thirdy_> aside from beryl what else is "wow"?
[02:54] <mc44> rmd_: in gconf-editor, apps->nautilus-desktop-volumes_visible
[02:54] <marco_linux> cox377, I have been there already!
[02:55] <cox377> marco_linux: :s lol
[02:55] <rmd_> mc44: thanks loads

[02:55] <NewToUbuntu> ahh fixed my sounds problem I had to tick the audigy analog/Digital Output Jack tick box buried away in the volume control
[02:55] <marco_linux> cox377, Thanks anyway!!
[02:55] <kenthomson> I have a problem with fonts
[02:55] <marco_linux> cox377, I will keep trying.
[02:55] <marco_linux> hello, I am trying to run Ubuntu Feisty on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7310gW, but it seems not to start the X. Any Ideas?
[02:56] <b0wlman> stop spamming it.
[02:56] <b0wlman> have you googled your problem macro?
[02:56] <DocTrax> and i cant configure the eth0 device
[02:56] <marco_linux> b0wlman, yes, I will keep trying there and here.
[02:56] <DocTrax> by using that system->networking thing
[02:57] <DocTrax> i used static ip with gateway and dns-server
[02:57] <jack_r> marco_linux,  cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log |grep "EE"
[02:58] <kenthomson> I installed a few new fonts from the ubuntu-repo, and i re-started X, now the fonts in the terminal (Monospace 10), fonts in X-Chat and other places that use "fixed width fonts" (eg.gedit) use a washed-out variant of monospace. I can't even read clearly what all of you are typing, please help. My resolution, refresh rate is fine and so are fonts in title-bar and others (eg. if i select sans-10 in gedit /terminal than everything is displayed correctly,
[02:58] <kenthomson>  it is only the monospace that has a washed out look).
[02:58] <Eng-Tea> Ubuntu seems to have firewall installd by default, can you tell me where it is I need to open a port
[02:58] <marco_linux> jack_r, ok, I will try. Hold!!!
[02:58] <kenthomson> iptables | Eng-Tea
[02:59] <kenthomson> !iptables | Eng-Tea
[02:59] <ubotu> Eng-Tea: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[02:59] <kenthomson> !firestarter | Eng-Tea
[02:59] <dcfly> one more silly question if i may - i'm trying to edit the file menu.lst file (grub config) but i can't save my changes. my guess is that i'm not logged in with the proper permissions. i'm new to linux - how do i get the proper permissions to edit this file. i'm editing it because i've determined that if the "splash" option is enabled ubuntu crashes before booting on my system. i need to edit that out.
[02:59] <Eng-Tea> thanks
[02:59] <sebas_> dcfly use sudo: sudo /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:59] <kenthomson> dcfly, "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" use vim/nano other in place of gedit
[03:00] <sebas_> sorry
[03:00] <dcfly> thanks
[03:00] <kenthomson> Can someone help me with the font-thing?
[03:00] <HymnToLife> !gksudo
[03:00] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[03:00] <ziroday> kenthomson: il try
[03:00] <kenthomson> ziroday, go on
[03:00] <BlueEagle> kenthomson: I would if I could. >(

[03:00] <kenthomson> HymnToLife, right you are
[03:00] <BlueEagle> :(
[03:01] <ziroday> kenthomson: ive been sleeping whats wrong?

[03:01] <sean_> Hallo, anyone who have used panlantir?
[03:01] <sean_> I've got a problem
[03:01] <ziroday> kenthomson: just saw no idea
[03:01] <kenthomson> ziroday, ?
[03:01] <ziroday> kenthomson: dunno sorry
[03:01] <jack_r> marco_linux, probably in safe mode it is using Vesa mode driver and in normal mode your hardware probed driver thatswhy it crashes
[03:02] <jack_r> see log file
[03:02] <Ross> someone could tell me how spend less toner during printing? i think there's a program but i dont'know
[03:03] <Azrael---> ross: use white text on a white background.
[03:03] <hypn0> can't u change the printer setting to economy Ross
[03:03] <Ross> thx Azrael--- very usefull, htpn0 i think no :(
[03:04] <jack_r> marco_linux, see ur /etc/X11/Xorg.conf for Section "Device" and look for Driver "Vesa" or something like that in there
[03:04] <Azrael---> always willing to help out, ross.
[03:04] <ziroday> Ross: you can select print mode in printing options and set it to lower quality
[03:04] <gucao> could 3d desktop has six side??
[03:05] <Ross> ziroday i think i can't do it! i'm not really an expert

[03:08] <jack_r> marco_linux, see ur /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and search for Section "Device", there u will find Driver "something" change that line to Driver "vesa"
[03:08] <marco_linux> jack_r, ok. hold!

[03:12] <fuzzy_logic> i can't access to my machine via ssh.. it saysConnection Refused.. can anyone help me plz? i can ssh to localhost..
[03:12] <marco_linux> jack_r, I got this message, "Failed to start the X server.... Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?"
[03:13] <dagon_> Hey all.
[03:13] <jack_r> marco_linux, see that log file in /var/log again what does it show this time ?
[03:14] <marco_linux> jack_r, (EE), Failed to load module "VESA" (module does not exist, 0)
[03:15] <jack_r> marco_linux, did u type VESA in capital in /etc/X11/Xorg.conf ? if yes type it in small "vesa"
[03:15] <marco_linux> jack_r, ok, hold!
[03:15] <dagon_> I'm having a smallproblem with my laptop, it's not recognizing whether the machine is plugged in to power or no, nor showing the battery charge anymore. I think this started after the latest kernel update. Also, the machine used to lock when I closed the lid, and not it's not doing that anymore. Any one has some idea what the problem might be? thanks. :-)
[03:16] <marco_linux> jack_r, I need to restart the X, how can I do it in text mode?
[03:17] <tim167> i made a symbolic link, how do i remove it ?
[03:17] <jrib> tim167: rm
[03:17] <sebas_> can I make a symbolic link of a command?
[03:17] <tim167> jrib: uhm i made a link to /dev/dv1394 named video1, but i cant remove it
[03:18] <jrib> tim167: why not?  what happens?
[03:18] <jack_r> marco_linux, killall gdm or xdm or kdm whatever is running and use startx
[03:18] <str4> I'll find out
[03:18] <tim167> jrib, it's light blue, i get 'no such file or directory, although ls shows it
[03:18] <jrib> tim167: pastebin that (both commands and output)
[03:18] <tim167> jrib, sorry my mistake, wrong directory :/
[03:19] <tim167> jrib, had to do rm /dev/video1 :)
[03:20] <marco_linux> jack_r, It is working know. :D How can I change the resolution to 1280x800?
[03:21] <tim167> sebas a command is a program, so i guess you can but i might be wrong
[03:22] <sebas_> why don't we index all the information on this channel (q&a) just like we can index a web site? I see really repeated problems and questions.
[03:22] <jack_r> marco_linux, i think vesa works with max 1024x768 (not 100% sure) , still try editing /etc/X11/Xorg.conf ,see Section "Screen" and add "1280x1024" in "Modes" in all color depths
[03:22] <jrib> sebas_: all the repeated stuff is in the FAQ linked in the topic, but few read it
[03:23] <marco_linux> jack_r, ok. thank you very much!!
[03:23] <tim167> jrib its just easyer for the lazy peeps like mee to throw in a question here ;)
[03:23] <tim167> *me
[03:24] <Aerotwelve> Hey all, I have an ndiswrapper problem. It looks like it's installed correctly. Running "ndiswrapper -l" shows my driver is loaded, but it can't find my hardware. I'm using a Broadcom chipset with the 0x4311 code. Network Manager and WiFiRadar both do not recognize it. Thanks in advance/
[03:24] <dcfly> i have one more really simple question (sorry) - how do i make a drive auto-mount?
[03:24] <sebas_> jrib: where did ubotu learn?
[03:24] <jack_r> marco_linux, anytime
[03:24] <jrib> sebas_: input from users
[03:24] <jrib> !ubotu > sebas_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:24] <mc44> Aerotwelve: does your hardware show up on lsusb or lspci?
[03:24] <Azrael---> Aerotwelve, you have done 'modprobe ndiswrapper', right?
[03:25] <jrib> dcfly: what filesystem?
[03:25] <dcfly> ntfs
[03:25] <jrib> !ntfs > dcfly (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:25] <tim167> !ubotu > tim167
[03:25] <dcfly> thanks
[03:25] <Aerotwelve> Azrael--: Yes, but modprobe doesn't do much. It waits for a bit and drops me to a new command line
[03:26] <mc44> Aerotwelve: if ndiswrapper can't see your hardware, modprobing won't help
[03:26] <Aerotwelve> mc44: My network card? Yes, but it shows up as Broadcom Corporation Unknown device 4328 (rev 01)
[03:26] <dcfly> thanks very much jrib and everyone else. i got all the help i need for today and every one of your suggestions worked.
[03:28] <Aerotwelve> mc44: That means it isn't recognized by the kernel, correct?
[03:28] <mc44> Aerotwelve: have you tried using bcm43xx-fwcutter
[03:28] <kathan> Hello
[03:28] <Aerotwelve> mc44: Hmm? Is that a driver?
[03:28] <ccct> hello
[03:28] <mc44> Aerotwelve: it gets the firmware for your driver so you can use the broadcom driver rather than ndiswrapper
[03:29] <Aerotwelve> mc44: Is that a command? What is the format?
[03:29] <marco_linux> jack_r, It is all working now, including the resolution!!! Thanks again!! Where are you from?
[03:30] <mc44> Aerotwelve: no its a package, apt-get install it
[03:31] <NoobS-Must-Die> sorry, how to make an file executable?
[03:32] <Aerotwelve> mc44: Alright, I'm trying it now. Thanks.

[03:33] <Azrael---> glxgears @ 500fps?
[03:33] <Azrael---> that's terrible
[03:33] <Azrael---> you should be getting at least 1000
[03:34] <Aerotwelve> mc44: Thanks, this looks like it should work.

[03:56] <FireJet> HP_Administrator: Say it, there's lots of people free.
[03:56] <HP_Administrator> oh

[03:58] <HP_Administrator> well, I'm very nuew to this, my buddy just gave me his ubuntu cd to use. I was able to boot off of the cd fine. I installed it fine, did a 55% partition for it. but when I try to boot up ubuntu without the cd the load screen seems to be frozen. it sits there for a good 10 minutes then ends up at a screen with an error message and a type of command prompt.

[03:59] <h1deki> HP_Administrator, anything more specific than that about ur installation? no errors?

[04:07] <zoom_> thanks

[04:08] <FireJet> kbrooks: Ah.
[04:08] <FireJet> Osirus: Search for what? Files?
[04:08] <Nostferka> why dunt ubuntu come with those packages already?
[04:08] <Osirus> 'locate' doesnt seem to be able to search removable drives, how else can i search a dvd for files
[04:08] <Nostferka> as in the gcc

[04:12] <Osirus> FireJet, How would I use it with wildcards to find all .pdf files?
[04:12] <bastid_raZor> Thorn: if apt-get updated them then yes i am.. if not then i am still using glx
[04:13] <Nostferka> kk
[04:13] <kbrooks> !checkinstall > Nostferka
[04:13] <zoom_> ok merci Nostferka
[04:13] <Nostferka> lol
[04:13] <FireJet> Osirus: "find /path/to/dvd -iname .pdf" I believe.
[04:13] <thingy> simon__, Did you install anything like beryl or made any xorg related changes recently?
[04:13] <geoaxis> bastid_raZor,  which one glx or glx-new
[04:13] <simon__> yes. I think it happened after beryl install
[04:13] <Nostferka> kbrooks: i didnt know you could do that
[04:13] <Nostferka> i played with kompile for a bit...
[04:13] <simon__> thats true
[04:13] <i0null> Corvinis-V: driver wise is really good
[04:13] <bastid_raZor> geoaxis: i started with glx, like he said it possible newer drivers are out.
[04:13] <Nostferka> ...you learn something new every day....
[04:13] <bastid_raZor> let me double check see which i have.
[04:14] <simon__> And i've had some xorg problems. but this is the only one remaining now
[04:14] <thingy> simon__, there ya go then...beryl has issues with video playback...i haven't used beryl but you could ask in #beryl for advice
[04:14] <kbrooks> Nostferka: to clear up a myth: you can pass checkinstall a command with the -c option. this command must install files though (not just compile). the default command is "make install"
[04:14] <mh_le> does anyone know how to clear a postfix mail queue?
[04:14] <bastid_raZor> geoaxis: i currently have glx installed.
[04:14] <Corvinis-V> i0null, is it nice for non experts? I know my way around linux but not too much of a guru I'm afraid
[04:14] <Osirus> FireJet, hmm, it works for .pdf files, thanks - but doesnt work for .iso files... would you know the reason?
[04:14] <Nostferka> Yeah i dont understand on most linuxes why you have to do the whole ./configure, make
[04:14] <Nostferka> make instal
[04:14] <Nostferka> palava
[04:15] <i0null> Corvinis-V: desktop-wise is down to opinion, i prefer fedoras default desktop. but i have my ubuntu desktop now really nice.
[04:15] <geoaxis> bastid_raZor,  what do you get as glxgears output
[04:15] <FireJet> Osirus: Uh? You want to find isos on the DVD?
[04:15] <bastid_raZor> geoaxis: and it is working great for me.. but every box is different. the -new may be better.
[04:15] <andresmujica> yell3 what problem are you having?
[04:15] <bastid_raZor> geoaxis: ?
[04:15] <i0null> Corvinis-V: you like openSUSE?
[04:15] <andresmujica> i can play without much trouble
[04:15] <yell3> amarok cant play internet streams\
[04:15] <Osirus> FireJet, Its got Linux iso images, but it is sorted by date of download along with a whole lot of other downloads...
[04:15] <shawn34> ubuntu will not use my refresh rate properly and i'm seeing lines in the screen. can someone help me out?
[04:15] <geoaxis> bastid_raZor,  in console type glxgears ..it is a rough test of card performance
[04:15] <Corvinis-V> I don't know :) I'm looking for a nice package :) I was planning on giving Ubuntu a spin
[04:16] <geoaxis> the more fps you get the better
[04:16] <VoX> Corvinis-V: i was a debian zealot for many years, until i got my amd64. i spent two weeks just trying to get X working properly. I then tried ubuntu and everything just _worked_ straight out-of-the-box.
[04:16] <yell3> i have restricted installed, thats not the problem
[04:16] <FireJet> Osirus: So "find /path/to/dvd -iname .iso" doesn't work?
[04:16] <zoom_> thanks all have a nice week
[04:16] <Corvinis-V> sounds good VoX
[04:16] <yell3> amarok cant play internet streams, seems not to stream , error
[04:16] <kbrooks> Nostferka: well, ./configure checks the system for things and configures the package for the system... and makie compiles the packages. and then make install is supposed to copy the package and all data files to system admin directories.
[04:16] <Osirus> FireJet, there are literally thousands of folders with subfolders - i dont wanna look in each one, I just want to copy off a few isos, Right now find /dev/cdrom0 -iname .iso is not working
[04:16] <VoX> Corvinis-V: i know alot of uber-sys-admin types who love ubuntu
[04:16] <kbrooks> Nostferka: read: "is supposed to"
[04:16] <harri_> \join #<fit>
[04:16] <Osirus> FireJet, also, the first folder has an iso in it - which is why it isnt working
[04:17] <Nostferka> but why so longwinded?
[04:17] <bastid_raZor> geoaxis: i see.. it is running.. looks smooth as can be
[04:17] <FireJet> Osirus: Don't do "/dev/cdrom0", do "/media/cdrom". The path should be the mount point. ;)
[04:17] <i0null> Corvinis-V: you can get gnome-main-panel / desktop-applet on the desktop really easily and they greatly enhance my experience. however, there not distro specific tools.
[04:17] <bastid_raZor> 6054 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1210.719 FPS
[04:17] <Corvinis-V> Fedora install gave me a hell of a time..... it didn't recognize my dvd player anymore after setup loaded.... didn't recognize any of my ide channels either ... :P
[04:17] <bastid_raZor> FPS is getting higher the longer i let it run
[04:17] <Corvinis-V> Seems to be a common problem or so I've heard
[04:17] <geoaxis> bastid_raZor,  1210 is IMO low for your card
[04:18] <VoX> Corvinis-V: well you can try-before-you-install with ubuntu
[04:18] <geoaxis> it should be near 2000
[04:18] <bastid_raZor> topped out 1294, low is 1190
[04:18] <kbrooks> Nostferka: because it all starts with source. fortunately, many people have done the "./configure && make && make install"  system for you and wraps the data into packages
[04:18] <Corvinis-V> ah live is it ?
[04:18] <geoaxis> with proper configurations
[04:18] <Corvinis-V> with install option ?
 thanks
[04:18] <i0null> Corvinis-V: you used Fedora Frog?
[04:18] <VoX> Corvinis-V: correct
[04:18] <Nostferka> lovely
[04:18] <shawn34> Corvinis-V, just run the feisty live-cd. If it detects your hardware on the live cd the full install should go fine
[04:18] <bastid_raZor> geoaxis: i'm also pushing dual monitors.. i'm splitting my on board RAM
[04:18] <Corvinis-V> :) sounds good ....
[04:18] <Osirus> FireJet, sorry, thats what i was doing.. pdf files are found but no .iso's
[04:18] <VoX> Corvinis-V: once you have the live cd loaded, it has a Desktop option to install, with an uber-easy install wizard
[04:19] <geoaxis> bastid_raZor,  RAM should not matter, but dual monitor should
[04:19] <kbrooks> Nostferka: hence my need to put those four factoids at you so that you learn more
[04:19] <Osirus> FireJet, I am doing the same thing on a usb drive, no result either
[04:19] <geoaxis> bastid_raZor,  twin-view or xinerama?
[04:19] <Corvinis-V> So I suppose all you peeps like Ubuntu then :) Nothing in particular I should worry about ?
[04:19] <isis> hi
[04:19] <bastid_raZor> geoaxis: right, my DVI is crisp and clear .. plays the new MKV H264 files no problem
[04:19] <kbrooks> Nostferka: and not waste your time uh compiling stuff
[04:19] <VoX> Corvinis-V: nothing springs to mind
[04:19] <Nostferka> thanks
[04:19] <FireJet> Osirus: That's odd. Try to cd to the mountpoint and do "find ./ -iname iso"
[04:19] <Aerotwelve> Hello everyone, how do I do a reinstall of Ubuntu? I don't want to format my disc, as it contains Windows. Is there a function on the CD that will just wipe this partition and write over it?
[04:20] <kbrooks> Nostferka: np, we're here to help.
[04:20] <i0null> Corvinis-V: I think it really depends on if you prefer .deb based or .rpm based distro's
[04:20] <kbrooks> FireJet: no...
[04:20] <FireJet> Osirus: No "." this time.
[04:20] <flithm> hey everyone... I previously had a working wireless setup with feisty -- I just updated with synaptic today, and now my wireless won't connect to the network anymore -- just keeps asking for the wpa2 key... anyone know what's going on? (other wireless devices in the house still work fine)
[04:20] <Osirus> FireJet, ok will do
[04:20] <kbrooks> FireJet: you really mean "*.iso"
[04:20] <Corvinis-V> what's the difference... I know rpm ....
[04:20] <Corvinis-V> not deb
[04:20] <Corvinis-V> prolly stands for debian
[04:20] <VoX> Corvinis-V: .deb is like rpm, without the fail and stupidity
[04:20] <kbrooks> FireJet: and those quotes are necessary
[04:20] <VoX> :)
[04:20] <Corvinis-V> ah
[04:20] <bastid_raZor> Twinview
[04:20] <Corvinis-V> I like deb better then lol
[04:20] <FireJet> kbrooks: Well, but how'd it work for the PDFs?
[04:20] <Osirus> FireJet, no difference
[04:21] <i0null> Corvinis-V: basically what VoX said
[04:21] <kbrooks> FireJet: same thing
[04:21] <Corvinis-V> ;)
[04:21] <RR[D1] detructor1> hi
[04:21] <VoX> Corvinis-V: apt is the debian/ubuntu equiv of yum.. except it _works_
[04:21] <Ben_> Hi, I just want to confirm something before I install ubuntu - there's a hidden partition on my HDD that contains information required to reset my laptop to 'factory conditions'. In creating a new partition for ubuntu etc. and installing, I don't want to touch it. How would I go about doing this in the installation?
[04:21] <FireJet> Osirus: Then, try what kbrooks said: "find /media/cdrom -iname "*.iso" "
[04:21] <Corvinis-V> I'm probably going to be hanging out here alot :) I've scripted this channel in my mirc :P
[04:21] <kbrooks> FireJet: if you do just *.iso without the quotes, then the shell will expand that
[04:21] <Ben_> I'm particularly keen not to overwrite it accidentally
[04:21] <bastid_raZor> geoaxis: i had tons of trouble getting this thing set up correctly. until recently twinview would not work, but i found out. it was my MB,Processor being a weak little nothing that caused it
[04:21] <imon9> hello. i would like to ask something about backup-up my partition... if it correct to say if i boot into my computer using a liveCD and tar all the files in my ext partition, that i can just copy them back and have the partition working again next time?
[04:22] <FireJet> kbrooks: Yeah, but the shell won't expand ".iso"
[04:22] <i0null> I'm not sure about rpm's, but with deb's you can easly grab the source, reconfigure the packages, see what files are in the packages etc really easily
[04:22] <Corvinis-V> nice
[04:22] <FireJet> kbrooks: No asterisk.
[04:22] <RR[D1] detructor1> can someone help me? I have a problem with "Sauerbraten" the game...when I click on "Exit" it freeze and I must reset my PC
[04:22] <Aerotwelve> Does anyone happen to know the command to get the restricted ATI drivers so I don't get any "no screens found" errors?
[04:22] <VoX> Corvinis-V: i've been using .deb-based distros for 8 years now, and i'll never go back.. it's just so easy to use and hardly ever screws up(only happened once, and took all of 5 minutes to correct)
[04:22] <kbrooks> i0null: same with rpms
[04:22] <Osirus> FireJet, ok, that has found the iso in the root of the dir... but its not searching subfolders!
[04:23] <kbrooks> Osirus: uh, -depth 1 should work
[04:23] <Corvinis-V> well burning ubuntu as we speak :P
[04:23] <kbrooks> Osirus: (not -maxdepth, that limits the depth!!!)
[04:23] <VoX> heh
[04:23] <VoX> good man
[04:23] <i0null> kbrooks: i right =]
[04:23] <i0null> oh*
[04:23] <imon9> hello. i would like to ask something about backup-up my partition... if it correct to say if i boot into my computer using a liveCD and tar all the files in my ext3 partition, that i can just copy them back and have the partition working again next time?
[04:24] <azlon> im trying to create a web server (just for local testing). i downloaded/installed apache, mysql, and php5
[04:24] <kbrooks> imon9: no..
[04:24] <Corvinis-V> I mean how would you guys feel spending several hours on trying to get fedora to work only to end up with a kernel panic....
[04:24] <azlon> where do i need to start building my pages now? what folder?
[04:24] <i0null> Corvinis-V: I have had that about 20 times lol
[04:24] <FireJet> imon9: I doubt it. Especially the dev files.
[04:24] <VoX> Corvinis-V: i spent several days getting a FC system to work to no avail..
[04:24] <Osirus> kbrooks, it complains when i add the 1 parameter
[04:24] <VoX> but that's for work
[04:24] <imon9> kbrooks: why not.. and how can i backup my partition using liaveCD?
[04:24] <VoX> i HATE rh/fc with a passion
[04:25] <kbrooks> imon9: Try partimage.
[04:25] <LotsOfSexNoLove> azlon /var/www
[04:25] <Osirus> kbrooks, it accepts -depth, but complains for -depth 1
[04:25] <imon9> ok
[04:25] <aboo0ood> some mp3 files have noise when i play them , can any one help ?
[04:25] <Corvinis-V> well i've started friday... we're can I join to rh/fc hateclub ?
[04:25] <Corvinis-V> :P
[04:25] <i0null> Corvinis-V: I had that when i first tryed to install gentoo, it took day's to install and when  the install had 1% to go, it crashed
[04:25] <bastid_raZor> download better versions?
[04:26] <Corvinis-V> to = the
[04:26] <kbrooks> Osirus: yes ok use -depth
[04:26] <FireJet> Osirus: Yeah, in the manpage, there's nothing about depth having parameters. Just do -depth
[04:26] <n2diy> imon9: and test your backup strategy. Thinking you have a back up, and having a functional one can lead to unpleasant surprises, when you need it.
[04:26] <Corvinis-V> Vox, i0null you guys hang out here all the time ?
[04:26] <imon9> ok..thanks
[04:26] <Osirus> FireJet, but -depth makes no difference... am I perhaps missing something else crucial?
[04:27] <aboo0ood> some mp3 files have noise when i play them , can any one help ?
[04:27] <bastid_raZor> download better versions?
[04:27] <PriceChild> !offtopic | Corvinis-V
[04:27] <ubotu> Corvinis-V: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:27] <kbrooks> 90% ... yay
[04:27] <imon9> u using to used imagedrive XML, but it doesnt support EXT3
[04:27] <i0null> Corvinis-V: Nope, i'm normally in ##linux
[04:27] <Corvinis-V> ah ok thanks :)
[04:27] <aboo0ood> bastid_raZor, r u talking to me ?
[04:27] <LotsOfSexNoLove> and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter   -- at last :)))
[04:27] <Osirus> FireJet, there is for example subfolders like this: 020107/ps3/gentoo/images/iso/gentoo-live-cd.iso but it is not picking that up in the search
[04:28] <bastid_raZor> yes
[04:28] <FireJet> Osirus: But the actual file is there?
[04:28] <FireJet> Osirus: Hm....
[04:28] <VoX> Corvinis-V: yeah im always here
[04:28] <aboo0ood> bastid_raZor, they work well on other machines , the problem is not in the files
[04:28] <Osirus> FireJet, yes! Ive also copied it off onto my hdd...
[04:28] <kbrooks> Osirus: try -maxdepth 6 then
[04:28] <bastid_raZor> possibly need a new codec? what player are you using?
[04:29] <Corvinis-V> I just jumped to offtopic VoX :) tty there :)
[04:29] <aboo0ood> bastid_raZor,  totem
[04:29] <Zano> Heya. I'm wondering if if in Ubuntu it is possible to do the following.. Have one computer with two monitors, two keyboards, two mice and a dualcore CPU to allow two users to simultaneously use it in dual desktop environments? I know there's noway to do that in Windows so i figured Linux would be my best bet.
[04:29] <Osirus> kbrooks, sigh... still no change
[04:29] <Zano> Anyone have any idea if its even possible? So I can look further into it.
[04:29] <kbrooks> Osirus: hm, ok, i give up.
[04:29] <FireJet> Osirus: find /dev/cdrom/ -iname "*.iso"
[04:30] <FireJet> Just copy-paste.
[04:30] <arezoo> l
[04:30] <FireJet> Osirus: Make sure it's exactly that.
[04:30] <Osirus> FireJet, yaya that worked
[04:30] <Osirus> FireJet, Quotes made it work
[04:30] <FireJet> Yeah...
[04:30] <Osirus> FireJet, Thanks loads
[04:30] <FireJet> Osirus: Thank kbrooks, he suggested. :)
[04:30] <kbrooks> :-)
[04:31] <kbrooks> just a coinindence :-)
[04:31] <FireJet> Osirus: I guess you didn't use the quotes before.
[04:31] <Osirus> FireJet, kbrooks, thank you both :)
[04:31] <LotsOfSexNoLove> ;)
[04:31] <Zano> Hm.. I'll check the forums..
[04:31] <kbrooks> FireJet: thats the problem with not using quotes :-)
[04:31] <FireJet> Osirus: I'd suggest you try the same thing with the pdfs again, too.
[04:31] <i0null> Zano, it's definitely possible, i'm not sure how-to though
[04:31] <Osirus> FireJet, yes I intend to
[04:31] <Chaoticwhizz> Hello all. Anyone know how to turn off "User is away" mesages in Kopete?
[04:32] <i0null> Zano, ask ##linux
[04:32] <Zano> Oh, I'll try that, thanks.
[04:32] <bcochofe1> Hi, I'm using ubuntu 6.10 and want to upgrade to the new 7.04. How can I do this? Do I only have to change my sources.list?
[04:32] <PriceChild> !upgrade | bcochofe1
[04:32] <ubotu> bcochofe1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:32] <FireJet> kbrooks: Yeah, I tried it in /usr/src, with and without quotes, and found the problem. Good thing to know for the future.
[04:33] <Thorn> Hello, i have a second question with Ubuntu that has been disturbing me lately... When i try to do anything on my linux partitions it is very slow. However, anything on my windows NTFS partitions are accesseed fast on linux
[04:33] <aboo0ood> bastid_raZor, besides totem  , i use realplayer
[04:33] <Thorn> I have the same problem on ext3 and ReiserFS
[04:33] <Osirus> Thorn, are your ext3 partitions full?
[04:33] <Thorn> It can take up 25 seconds to open a terminal
[04:33] <Thorn> Osirus, no
[04:33] <Thorn> 10gb left in / and 20gb left in /home
[04:33] <aboo0ood> bastid_raZor, but both have the same problem
[04:34] <Osirus> Thorn, do you have beagle or something similar?
[04:34] <Thorn> beagle?
[04:34] <n2diy> I just realized I lost my system sounds, the cdrom is listed in in device manager, when I double click on the volume control it says no gstreamer plugins and/or devices found. Sound worked intially, so something has changed?
[04:34] <Osirus> Thorn, its a search engine + indexer
[04:34] <Thorn> apt-get install beagle?
[04:35] <kUb_oNE> hello
[04:35] <Osirus> Thorn, it creeps around your drive much like windows search (in vista) does and indexes the files
[04:35] <kUb_oNE> the 7.0.4 works in pentium 2?
[04:35] <Thorn> ah ok, im installing it now, Thanks for the help
[04:35] <Ilokaasu> kUb_oNE: how much memory
[04:35] <Luxurious_> What's the signal called that Ctrl+C sends?
[04:35] <kUb_oNE> 8 MB
[04:35] <Ilokaasu> ram ?
[04:35] <LotsOfSexNoLove> kUb_oNE the answer is no :)
[04:36] <kUb_oNE> video
[04:36] <Chaoticwhizz> My main problem is xorg takes all of my CPU cycles after I walk away from the PC for awhile. I am using Fiesty that was upgraded from Edgy via Adept. I use KDE BTW. I also have gnome installed as well
[04:36] <kUb_oNE> 128MB ram
[04:36] <Ilokaasu> how much ram memory ?
[04:36] <Ilokaasu> try xubuntu
[04:36] <aidan> the PHP package is broken, in that it looks for it's ini files in /usr/local/etc rather than /etc/php/apache2/php.ini ... anyone know how to fix this?
[04:36] <Ilokaasu> and install in text mode...
[04:36] <kUb_oNE> xubuntu?
[04:36] <norealgravity> is ubuntu only 153 mb?
[04:36] <jrib> norealgravity: no
[04:36] <Ilokaasu> xubuntu = ubuntu with xfce
[04:36] <Thorn> Osirus, beagle is now installed but i dont notice any difference when i open a terminal or other folders here.
[04:37] <Thorn> Beagle requires a reboot to initialize?
[04:37] <FireJet> aidan: "ln -s /etc/php/apache2/php.ini /usr/local/etc/" ?
[04:37] <Luxurious_> Ctrl+C gives a SIGINT, if anyone was wondering.
[04:37] <kbrooks> Thorn: no.
[04:37] <lunixman> hello
[04:37] <lunixman> i just installed xubuntu
[04:37] <lunixman> *ubuntu rather
[04:37] <Brausebonbon> Hi
[04:37] <azlon> im trying to copy to a folder i dont have permissions to, where do i put in my password to get permissions?
[04:37] <lunixman> i have one physical harddrive with 2 partitions, the other is Windows XP
[04:37] <kUb_oNE> i m  already installing 7.0
[04:37] <jrib> azlon: where are you copying to?
[04:37] <kbrooks> Thorn: it requires loads of hd time to commit.
[04:38] <lunixman> my other partitions aren't present in Media
[04:38] <azlon> var/www/
[04:38] <kUb_oNE> i m  already installing 7.0 in the P2
[04:38] <Thorn> kbrooks ok
[04:38] <LotsOfSexNoLove> azlon sudo cp ....
[04:38] <lunixman> what do i type in the command prompt to autodetect my other partitions?
[04:38] <aidan> FireJet: I guess I should have thought of that :/
[04:38] <jrib> !sudo > azlon (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:38] <kbrooks> Thorn: hd time, not hd space
[04:38] <fxfitz> How do I automatically start a program (with root) when the computer starts???
[04:38] <azlon> yeah, but im doing it in GUI
[04:38] <cx42> hello !
[04:38] <FireJet> aidan: Crude hack, but it should work.
[04:38] <aidan> how do I map my arrow keys in VI properly? at the momet pressing them in insert mode gives me "A" "B" "C" and "D"
[04:39] <aidan> FireJet: interesting that the package is broken
[04:39] <kbrooks> ok, byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[04:39] <cx42> Do you know the command line to launch the close session "apps" (with halt, reboot, close session, ...) ?
[04:39] <jrib> aidan: just install vim-full
[04:39] <FireJet> aidan: Yes, I suppose.
[04:40] <fxfitz> Does anyone know how to automatically start a program with root when the computer boots???
[04:40] <cx42> please :/
[04:40] <azlon> how can i copy files to a protected folder with the GUI (i know its sudo w/ command prompt)
[04:40] <LotsOfSexNoLove> fxfitz rc.local
[04:40] <Chaoticwhizz> Anyone have an idea why xorg is eating up CPU usage after I leave the PC sit for awhile?
[04:40] <jrib> azlon: gksudo nautilus    you should probably just setup some permissions for your user isntead...
[04:40] <fxfitz> LotsOfSexNoLove, I'm sorry, I'm a bit new to Ubuntu...
[04:40] <azlon> k
[04:41] <jrib> !permissions > azlon (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:41] <aidan> jrib: oh
[04:41] <LotsOfSexNoLove> fxfitz put the program in /etc/rc.local
[04:41] <lunixman> what should i type in the command prompt to detect and mount other partitions?
[04:41] <yell3> fxfitz, or add in sessions
[04:41] <lunixman> i only have one physical harddrive
[04:41] <fxfitz> LotsOfSexNoLove, Thank you!
[04:41] <yell3> in gnome desktop
[04:41] <Corvinis-V> what does Can't access tty mean; Job control turned off mean ? or is that not important
[04:42] <Corvinis-V>  it sticks at (initramfs) _
[04:42] <FireJet> Corvinis-V: Is this after an install?
[04:42] <fxfitz> yell3, I actually tried that but it didn't give me the add option, and it wasn't in the list,.
[04:42] <Corvinis-V> no while booting the cd
[04:42] <stockfisch> hi folks!
[04:42] <aidan> jrib: much better
[04:42] <stockfisch> can anyone tell me where amarok saves its settings and images and so on?
[04:43] <taurusivy> how can i use proxy in irssi?
[04:43] <yell3> fxfitz , just look and see , open sessions
[04:43] <FireJet> Corvinis-V: Oh, right. Yeah, I had the same problem on my other comp. It seems to be a broked Lite-On CD/DVD drive thing
[04:43] <LotsOfSexNoLove> fxfitz if your ptogram is GUI it;s not a good idea to put it in /etc/rc.local      better use session
[04:43] <Corvinis-V> so what should I do ?
[04:43] <yell3> and add program to start, then type the program, like you would start it from
[04:43] <yell3> command line
[04:43] <fxfitz> LotsOfSexNoLove, No, its just a background service. No-ip to be specific
[04:43] <jrib> taurusivy: http://www.irssi.org/documentation/proxy
[04:43] <FireJet> stockfisch: /usr/share/apps/amarok/ ?
[04:43] <fxfitz> yell3, Oh wait, I was looking in services, not sessions.
[04:44] <yell3> fxfitz, whats the program you like to start?
[04:44] <Corvinis-V> FirJet > What should I do about the error ?
[04:44] <Corvinis-V> FireJet*
[04:44] <fxfitz> yell3, no-ip
[04:44] <fxfitz> yell3, But I want it to start as root.
[04:44] <azlon> how do i create a new html file in prompt?
[04:44] <yell3> hmm, dont know that one, how would you start it from the bash?
[04:44] <FireJet> Corvinis-V: I forget, but I have 2 CD drives, and disconnecting the Lite-On fixes it.
[04:44] <jrib> azlon: touch foo.html
[04:45] <erUSUL> azlon: with a text editor such as nano or vim ??
[04:45] <Yadnu> hi
[04:45] <LotsOfSexNoLove> fxfitz /etc/rc.local    will be nice for no-ip script :"P)
[04:45] <azlon> yes, but these damn permissions are kicking my ass
[04:45] <taurusivy> jrib: ok , thanx
[04:45] <azlon> i dont know how to do anything with the gui, so im playing with the prompts
[04:45] <yell3> okey, then you need to make it , yes follow other instructions...:)
[04:45] <fxfitz> LotsOfSexNoLove, Yeah, its already added. But I'd also like to learn other ways of doing things just for future reference. :-P
[04:45] <aidan> hah cancel that, ssh'd to the wrong server
[04:46] <chrissieX> hi all! I need to remove ubuntu on a dual boot laptop. i intend to give this comp to my son and he only wants winXP... how do I uninstall the whole linux OS? and leave only winXP?
[04:46] <fxfitz> LotsOfSexNoLove, Thanks a lot!
[04:46] <azlon> how do i edit a file now?
[04:46] <stockfisch> @FireJet: Good hint, but the album covers do not seem to be stored there
[04:46] <LotsOfSexNoLove> azlon if you want you might to use chmod for permission (no very good) or just create a ln -s and set right persmission to link
[04:46] <FireJet> stockfisch: That'll probably be in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok, since it's user-based.
[04:46] <LotsOfSexNoLove> might to use   shit .... my english.... sorry about that
[04:46] <Cockroach> how can I specify a config when using apt-get install linux-image-X
[04:47] <chrissieX> brb
[04:47] <Chaoticwhizz> chrissiex, just delete the ubuntu partition from WIN XP Disk Administrator
[04:48] <stockfisch> @FireJet: Thanks, you are right. Ill go for the update for 7.04 now.
[04:48] <FireJet> stockfisch: That was the thing stopping you?
[04:49] <stockfisch> @FireJet: Yes, I wanted to have saved most of my settings and I did not know where the amarok settings were saved.
[04:49] <FireJet> stockfisch: Oh. Well, glad I could help.
[04:49] <stockfisch> THX
[04:51] <Shane-S> I just did tar -xvvzf on a .tar.gz file and it unzipped it in the current directory....how do I made it go into a subfolder? I am using the command line

[04:55] <Shane-S> not =, but -xvvzf
[04:55] <LotsOfSexNoLove> Shane-S for example: tar -zvxf your.tar.gz -C /where/to/be
[04:55] <Shane-S> ok after
[04:56] <AlexC_> Hey,
[04:56] <JayMac> hi
[04:56] <AlexC_> Does anyone know of a program, CLI or GUI, where I can enter a plain-text string and have it converted to SHA1?
[04:56] <JayMac> ubuntuuu
[04:56] <LjL> !language | LotsOfSexNoLove, i think you should probably change your nickname
[04:56] <ubotu> LotsOfSexNoLove, i think you should probably change your nickname: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:56] <JayMac> !language | LotsOfSexNoLove, i think you should probably change your nickname
[04:57] <JayMac> :( i cant do it
[04:57] <LotsOfSexNoLove> ubotu how can i do this ?
[04:57] <AlexC_> JayMac: you can, but the bot is smart
[04:57] <AlexC_> LotsOfSexNoLove: uBOTu is a bot,
[04:57] <rouslan> When I netstat, I get "udp        0      0 webserver:filenet-tms   nsbost01.verizon:domain ESTABLISHED" What is this??
[04:57] <erUSUL> AlexC_: sh1sum
[04:57] <LotsOfSexNoLove> aha thanks
[04:57] <JayMac> use /nick URNEWNAMETEH
[04:57] <rouslan> LotsOfSexNoLove: ubotu is a bot.
[04:57] <Yogi--> better ?
[04:58] <AlexC_> erUSUL: sh1sum command not found,
[04:58] <JayMac> umm
[04:58] <JayMac> i get
[04:58] <JayMac> ls command not found
[04:58] <AlexC_> erUSUL: ah, sha1sum
[04:58] <erUSUL> AlexC_: right :)
[04:58] <JayMac> why does mine say ls command not found
[04:59] <AlexC_> erUSUL: hum this needs to take a file ... I just need to pass it a string
[04:59] <Yogi--> JayMac try whereis ls
[04:59] <jacoblyles> So I downloaded the source for a program. How/where do I compile it?
[04:59] <JayMac> ls:
[04:59] <Thorn> bah
[04:59] <MenZa> jacoblyles: Depends on the type of program :)
[04:59] <Thorn> hamachi on ubuntu giving me grief
[05:00] <Cockroach> apt-get source <name>
[05:00] <jacoblyles> MenZa its an irc client for emacs
[05:00] <MenZa> jacoblyles: I'm assuming the source is in a tarball (tar.gz), so try un-taring that (tar -xvf <filename>)
[05:00] <MenZa> erc?
[05:00] <jacoblyles> rcirc
[05:00] <erUSUL> AlexC_: echo "String" | sha1sum
[05:00] <Ayabara> I'm gonna setup a WinXP/Ubuntu dual boot. Are there any huge disadvantages to using fat32 for the storage partition where I will put docs, audio, video and pictures?
[05:00] <Thorn> yes
[05:00] <MenZa> jacoblyles: I have no idea if that's compiled any differently than most other programs.
[05:00] <Thorn> fat32 is to new
[05:00] <AlexC_> erUSUL: ahh thank you very much
[05:00] <Thorn> use fat16
[05:00] <Thorn> :P
[05:00] <erUSUL> AlexC_: no problem
[05:00] <Ayabara> Thorn, hehe. good point :-)
[05:01] <charlie_> hi all
[05:01] <MenZa> Thorn: O.o
[05:01] <MenZa> hello, charlie_
[05:01] <jacoblyles> MenZa: Well, I've never compiled a program before, but it's not available through apt-get
[05:01] <charlie_> Hello Menza
[05:01] <MenZa> jacoblyles: if you untar it and enter its folder, what's in there?
[05:01] <cx42> re
[05:01] <erUSUL> jacoblyles: in general you should try to use packaged programs when possible
[05:01] <Yogi--> JayMac likes ls is not there... try dir
[05:01] <MenZa> jacoblyles: is there a file called configure?
[05:01] <charlie_> I am having issues with vmware
[05:01] <JayMac> OMG IS NO ONE LISTENING
[05:01] <cx42> I would like to know how I can remove "Shortcuts" and "System" from my Menu in ubuntu ? do you know ?
[05:01] <MenZa> !patience | jacoblyles
[05:01] <JayMac> MY LS IS NOT WORKING !!!!
[05:01] <ubotu> jacoblyles: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[05:01] <owyn> hi
[05:01] <MenZa> sorry
[05:01] <madsporkmurderer> I have re-sized a partition and now on boot, fsck clams that there is a problem with that partition and puts me to a root shell; if I continue booting and fsck the partition once booted it doesn't appear to find any problems. Also I can mount the partition and read data form it no problem- is there a problem with the partition and if so what would be the best way to try to fix it?
[05:01] <bastid_raZor> Ayabara use NTFS for windows and EXT3 for linux. then in linux get ntfs3g < i think
[05:01] <jacoblyles> I actually just found the source code on the internet and pasted it into a file
[05:01] <MenZa> |patience JayMac
[05:01] <JayMac> OMFG
[05:02] <MenZa> JayMac: "ls"?
[05:02] <AlexC_> JayMac: the angrier you get, the less likely someone wil help you
[05:02] <JayMac> yes
[05:02] <RabidWeezle> ubuntu-offtopic
[05:02] <JayMac> ls wont work
[05:02] <RabidWeezle> erm, sorry
[05:02] <AlexC_> JayMac: we dont get paid to sit in here and help you, respect that
[05:02] <Ayabara> bastid_raZor, is write support for ntfs reliable now?
[05:02] <vbabiy> hey guys is there any other photo manager out there other then f-spot
[05:02] <jacoblyles> so, it's not even a tarball
[05:02] <bastid_raZor> Ayabara i've used for nearly 3 months with no issues.
[05:02] <MenZa> jacoblyles: What kind of file do you have, then?
[05:02] <vbabiy> for gnome
[05:02] <Thorn> Write support for NTFS on ubuntu?
[05:02] <bastid_raZor> Ayabara: since January .. my math is bad
[05:03] <MenZa> !ntfs | Thorn
[05:03] <ubotu> Thorn: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:03] <Thorn> Where ?!
[05:03] <Thorn> ty!
[05:03] <MenZa> !ntfs-3g | Thorn
[05:03] <JayMac> Google Earth crashes on Ubuntu i686!
[05:03] <ubotu> Thorn: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:03] <MenZa> That's what you want, Thorn
[05:03] <jacoblyles> I pasted the text into a buffer with the same name as the file on the internet and saved it: rcirc.el
[05:03] <MenZa> jacoblyles: Chances are you won't need to compile that
[05:03] <MenZa> jacoblyles: actually; though I'm not certain
[05:03] <MenZa> Let me have a look around
[05:03] <jacoblyles> it looks like it's lisp
[05:03] <Ayabara> bastid_raZor, now _that_ sounds interesting. chances are I'll choose ntfs over fat32 then :-)
[05:03] <Fome> I'm having some problems with my mouse (PS/2 cordless, optical mouse) A lot of times it starts "lagging" = moving slow, buttons don't work, etc. Anyone knows how to fix this?
[05:04] <bastid_raZor> Ayabara to bad windows will not read EXT3 or i would have all my drives ext3
[05:04] <AlexC_> bastid_raZor: it can, with extra programs
[05:04] <MenZa> jacoblyles: I suggest you check out #emacs -- I don't know anything about compiling additions to emacs; but I'm sure they'll happily help you
[05:04] <Ayabara> bastid_raZor, there are plugins for that as well
[05:04] <AlexC_> bastid_raZor: I've never done it, but it is possible
[05:04] <Tom47> Fome it may not be the nmouse it may be that there is a heavy load on the computer .... use top in a terminal window to see what is happening
[05:04] <sebas_> what is vino-server?
[05:04] <bastid_raZor> Ayabara: i just recently killed my dual boot and installed VMWare, now i have no issues
[05:04] <Ayabara> ehh. "plugins"
[05:04] <MenZa> !info vino-server
[05:04] <ubotu> Package vino-server does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[05:05] <JayMac> google earth wont work 64-bit ubuntu 64-bit!!!
[05:05] <Thorn> Hey, i've got yet another problem, heh. Does anyone know where i could get a version of Hamachi that is supported by ubuntu? I didnt find one in the synaptic manager.
[05:05] <Fome> Tom: done that, it doesn't occur when there are CPU spikes in top
[05:05] <MenZa> JayMac: Are you downloading a 64-bit binary?
[05:05] <bastid_raZor> VMWare will let you have windows running virtually.. which is where it should be.. contained in a box inside linux
[05:05] <jacoblyles> MenZa: Sounds good
[05:05] <jacoblyles> thanks
[05:05] <MenZa> np
[05:05] <AlexC_> JayMac: wont work is a very general question, what does it do instead? you need to help us to help you,
[05:05] <JayMac> MenZa: there is'nt a 64-bit google earth
[05:05] <andymeows> hi, is there a way to reconfigure the effect of pressing a button (such as the mute button, or power button)? I'm thinking it has to do with acpi
[05:05] <MenZa> JayMac: Well, there's your answer.
[05:05] <Ayabara> bastid_raZor, I had an Xp virtual machine, but it ran too slowly on my machine :-/
[05:05] <JayMac> it crashes the X server
[05:06] <MenZa> And this is why I always opt for 32-bit.
[05:06] <JayMac> google earth on a 64-bit ubuntu crashes the X server
[05:06] <MenZa> JayMac: We get that
[05:06] <JayMac> :P
[05:06] <Thorn> Then use a Z server
[05:06] <bastid_raZor> Ayabara: i have enough resources, now, that i can spread it around enough to run smoothly.. but i have 2k instead of xp
[05:06] <JayMac> Z server ? :)
[05:06] <Thorn> sarcasm ;-P
[05:06] <MenZa> JayMac: Ignore Thorn.
[05:06] <AlexC_> Thorn: you love confusing people don't you,
[05:06] <bastid_raZor> 2k doesn't nag you to death about WGA
[05:07] <MenZa> JayMac: If there is no 64-bit binary, then obviously you can't run it
[05:07] <MenZa> Thorn: please stop with the rubbish; thank you :)
[05:07] <Thorn> :(
[05:07] <Thorn> :P
[05:07] <bastid_raZor> besides softwarepatch.com will give you ALL the updates and patches for windows without windows update
[05:07] <Mr> hello folks :)
[05:07] <MenZa> Some people here will take your jokes seriously.
[05:07] <MenZa> Hello Mr :)
[05:07] <GrueTamer> hi Mr
[05:07] <Mr> can you give me some help please
[05:07] <Mr> i have installed ubuntu
[05:07] <AlexC_> we cant help if you ask no question,
[05:07] <MenZa> Well, state your proble, Mr :)
[05:07] <Mr> and my wireless wont work
[05:07] <MenZa> Ah, wireless
[05:07] <MenZa> Mr, I suggest you check out this link:
[05:07] <Mr> lol
[05:08] <GrueTamer> its always the wireless, isnt it
[05:08] <Ayabara> bastid_raZor, I have used ext2fs in windows for working with ext3 partitions. Only issues I had was some charset stuff because of my nordic letters (that I really shouldn't put in filenames anyway)
[05:08] <MenZa> !wireless | Mr
[05:08] <unfold> hrhr, wireless isn't in linux
[05:08] <ubotu> Mr: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:08] <unfold> +fun
[05:08] <Mr> thnx
[05:08] <MenZa> No problem.
[05:08] <Ayabara> bastid_raZor, could be you can get rid of ntfs if you want :-)
[05:08] <tom> how can i reload a kernel module after returning from hibernation?
[05:09] <bastid_raZor> honestly i have 3 drives two ext3 one ntfs which holds my old windows stuff.. i don't even use windows from boot anymore.. VMWare allows me to do enough that i'll never boot in to windows again
[05:09] <Ranbee> hi, i just noticed all my gstreamer packages are orphaned. is there something i can install to fix that?
[05:09] <MenZa> !offtopic > bastid_raZor (Please see the /query from ubotu)
[05:10] <Mr> damn
[05:10] <bastid_raZor> MenZa: that was very much ON topic
[05:10] <MenZa> Support request, bastid_raZor?
[05:10] <Mr> im using a WMP300N and its not supported
[05:10] <unfold> ranbee: http://jokosher.python-hosting.com/wiki/InstallingCvsGstreamer
[05:10] <Ranbee> thanks unfold :)
[05:10] <unfold> the cvs-version is quite a bit less bug-ridden
[05:10] <rouslan> Anyone here familiar with hosting servers?
[05:11] <bastid_raZor> MenZa: extra info to help persuade to use a better OS.
[05:11] <Ranbee> ok
[05:11] <MenZa> bastid_raZor: ah, my apologies
[05:11] <unfold> though installation is more complicated
[05:11] <MenZa> Mr: the wmp300n?
[05:11] <gnomefreak> bastid_raZor: its not support its offtopic
[05:11] <Mr> Lynksys
[05:11] <MenZa> Mr: It's possible to install it, apparently
[05:11] <MenZa> Mr: I see some guys have done it on Mandriva
[05:11] <Ayabara> bastid_raZor, thanks for the help and the offtopic comments :-)
[05:11] <Mr> oh
[05:11] <MenZa> Mr: So I don't see why you shouldn't be able to on Ubuntu
[05:11] <Mr> well i put the cd in and it dont work
[05:12] <Mr> i am totaly new to linux
[05:12] <MenZa> Mr: Ah :)
[05:12] <gnomefreak> Mr: set your pc to boot off cd
[05:12] <Journeyman> I am going to get a cloth diaper for my kid and have either the ubuntu logo or baby tux embroidered on the back
[05:12] <Mr> ok
[05:12] <MenZa> Mr: The biggest problem with Linux, currently, is the lack of wireless support, really
[05:12] <Journeyman> not sure which one I should do
[05:12] <GrueTamer> Journeyman: do tux
[05:12] <Mr> i can see lol
[05:12] <MenZa> Mr: Because a lot of manufacturers don't create Linux drivers
[05:12] <strabes> Journeyman: they have baby clothes on the cafepress store
[05:12] <gnomefreak> Mr: in the bios
[05:12] <Mr> ye
[05:13] <Journeyman> strabes, I know
[05:13] <MenZa> gnomefreak: It's the wireless driver, not the live cd
[05:13] <Mr> linksys says just windows
[05:13] <gnomefreak> Journeyman: strabes please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:13] <Mr> on the cd
[05:13] <gnomefreak> MenZa: ah
[05:13] <MenZa> Mr: I'm not a wiz with ndiswrapper, so I'm not going to guide you through it, but I'm sure SOMEONE will be able to
[05:13] <Journeyman> aye
[05:13] <MenZa> gnomefreak: you, possibly?
[05:13] <gnomefreak> MenZa: mr iirc linksys is supported
[05:13] <Mr> i hope so lol
[05:13] <gnomefreak> !hardware | mr
[05:13] <ubotu> mr: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:13] <Mr> huh?
[05:14] <gnomefreak> Mr: go to that link
[05:14] <Mr> okay
[05:14] <gnomefreak> Mr: look for yout wireless card
[05:14] <MenZa> Mr: http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=37240 <- there are (vague) instructions for Mandriva there, but I believe you're going to have to get a newer version than the one in the repositories. Do as gnomefreak tells you :)
[05:14] <gnomefreak> your*
[05:14] <gucao> is any one used wink?
[05:14] <Mr> yok thnx guys
[05:14] <MenZa> np :)
[05:14] <wols_> gnomefreak: considering linksys doesn't make a single chip but the devices they sell use many different ones: how can you be sure?
[05:14] <MenZa> wols_: the WMP300N appears to work on Mandriva
[05:14] <MenZa> (The card in question)
[05:15] <gnomefreak> wols_: cant without trying but iirc the info on that link i gave should have model munbers
[05:15] <wols_> ah. specific linksys card
[05:15] <RabidWeezle> my tty's aren't taking up my whole screen, actually about half of my laptop screen, I have a dell c610 laptop, how can I set the resolution for the tty's?
[05:15] <MenZa> wols_: yep :)
[05:15] <Mr> oh and also
[05:15] <MenZa> yup?
[05:15] <Mr> its only running on 1024x765 res
[05:15] <Mr> or something like that
[05:15] <MenZa> !resolution | Mr
[05:15] <ubotu> Mr: 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
[05:16] <MenZa> The link there is very good
[05:16] <Mr> ok
[05:16] <Mr> thnx
[05:16] <MenZa> Just follow the instructions; shouldn't be a problem
[05:16] <MenZa> Np.
[05:16] <MenZa> :p
[05:16] <RabidWeezle> lol
[05:16] <Icehawk78> I had a question about apt-get. I tried running apt-get update, and I got an error.
[05:16] <MenZa> Icehawk78: What error?
[05:16] <GenNMX> RabidWeezle: There may be an option in your BIOS called "Stretch". Otherwise, you're screwed. The LCD's native resolution is 1024x768, and it cannot display 640x480 full-screen (console resolution, including boot-up)
[05:16] <Icehawk78> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[05:16] <Icehawk78> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[05:17] <gnomefreak> Icehawk78: close synaptic
[05:17] <RabidWeezle> well that sucks
[05:17] <RabidWeezle> thanks anyway Geniack
[05:17] <RabidWeezle> erm
[05:17] <Icehawk78> It's not open - I don't have a UI installed.
[05:17] <MenZa> Icehawk78: run it as root, and remember to close Synaptic or any other package manager running
[05:17] <RabidWeezle> GenNMX,
[05:17] <RabidWeezle> lol
[05:17] <Icehawk78> It's on my server.
[05:17] <Mr> wow this instruction stuff is complicated
[05:17] <GrueTamer> are you superuser?
[05:17] <MenZa> Icehawk78: are you doing sudo?
[05:17] <GenNMX> RabidWeezle: If you're using X, just set it to 800x600 or greater
[05:17] <Icehawk78> Oh. No.
[05:17] <MenZa> There's your problem :)
[05:17] <Icehawk78> Thanks, that fixed it.
[05:17] <gnomefreak> Icehawk78: you used sudo?
[05:17] <MenZa> No problem.
[05:17] <Mr> whats the heck is a new tarball?!
[05:17] <GenNMX> RabidWeezle: It's a limitation of the LCD's type
[05:18] <gnomefreak> Mr: something.tar.gz or something.tar.bz2
[05:18] <Mr> oh
[05:18] <RabidWeezle> ahh well
[05:18] <RabidWeezle> I can live with what I got I guess
[05:18] <gnomefreak> Mr: they are compressed archives
[05:18] <RabidWeezle> just looks stupid
[05:18] <RabidWeezle> lol
[05:18] <Mr> my problem is all these files i need
[05:18] <erUSUL> Mr: a tarball is a tar.gz or tar.bz2 file (a zip)
[05:18] <Mr> when i boot into linux, i have no internet
[05:18] <MenZa> Mr: connect it to an ethernet port?
[05:18] <MenZa> err, wired network*
[05:19] <Mr> impossible im afraid
[05:19] <MenZa> ("Connect it to an ethernet port"?)
[05:19] <MenZa> Oh, why?
[05:19] <Mr> im currently miles away from the router
[05:19] <MenZa> Oh.
[05:19] <Mr> well not litteraly
[05:19] <gnomefreak> Mr: use a differnt OS and save to disk or usb stick
[05:19] <cris> hi, I installed the package sun-java6-jdk on Ubuntu Feisty 64, but some things arent installed, like javaws and firefox plugin, why ?
[05:19] <Mr> i was thinking that
[05:19] <MenZa> cris: I think the jdk is the development kit
[05:19] <MenZa> cris: the java plugin is called sun-java6-plugin I think
[05:19] <MenZa> Or similar
[05:19] <gnomefreak> Mr: packages.ubuntu.com will have the packages you are looking for
[05:20] <Mr> but one of my friends who uses linux said it would be really difficult do use a usb stick with software for linux
[05:20] <gnomefreak> Mr: nope
[05:20] <Mr> or something
[05:20] <gnomefreak> Mr: plugin and go
[05:20] <unfold> that's not true
[05:20] <yomm> exit
[05:20] <MenZa> gnomefreak: mostly :P
[05:20] <gnomefreak> MenZa: true
[05:20] <MenZa> I've had to mount mine manually now and then
[05:20] <Mr> well
[05:20] <cris> Menza, "apt-cache" doesn't list to me "sun-java6-plugin" package
[05:20] <Mr> i thought the res problem was my GFX drivers
[05:20] <gnomefreak> MenZa: i have one i nee dto but never screwed with it
[05:20] <MenZa> cris: sudo apt-get update
[05:21] <MenZa> cris: I just found it, personally: sun-java6-plugin - The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 6
[05:21] <unfold> mr: usb sticks are usually automatically mounted in /media/disk
[05:21] <Mr> and i said i will download the drivers on windows then boot into linux and install them
[05:21] <Gwall> i heard fedora was better than ubuntu
[05:21] <unfold> mr: there you can install packages with "dpkg -i <file>"
[05:21] <MenZa> Gwall: that's a mtter of opinion
[05:21] <Mr> ok
[05:21] <gnomefreak> Gwall: than join #fedora
[05:21] <bobnn> Gwall only if you like being redhat's alpha tester
[05:21] <Gwall> nope gnomefreak i like ubuntu
[05:21] <Mr> wow this is confusing
[05:22] <MenZa> Gwall: some people prefer Ubuntu, some prefer Gentoo, some prefer Fedora.
[05:22] <Gwall> but i just heard xD
[05:22] <gnomefreak> Mr: you will also need all the dependencies along with what you need
[05:22] <Mr> all the dependiacies?
[05:22] <Gwall> yah ubuntu seems simple and easy to me
[05:22] <cris> Menza, it lists java6-bin, java6-demo, doc, fonts, javadb, jdk and jre, but sun-java6-plugin nope
[05:22] <MenZa> Gwall: that's the beauty of Linux; you can choose :)
[05:22] <Gwall> yeah idd
[05:22] <MenZa> cris: try doing sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[05:22] <gnomefreak> Gwall: you hear things join #ubuntu-offtopic to say things that are not support related
[05:22] <Gwall> and... ITS FREE

[05:23] <gnomefreak> Mr: because you used windows all your life
[05:23] <Mr> lol
[05:23] <Mr> i know
[05:23] <gnomefreak> Mr: you just started with linux
[05:23] <MenZa> Mr: It's much simpler than Windows in a lot of aspects
[05:23] <Ernz> Is anyone else's ubuntu pasting asterisks at the moment for no reason????
[05:23] <cris> Menza: sun-java6-plugin doesnt exists on my repository
[05:23] <MenZa> Mr: Trust me; when you get your wireless working, you will love it
[05:23] <Mr> it seems impossible
[05:23] <Sianis_> hi all
[05:23] <gnomefreak> cris: are you one edyg or feisty?
[05:23] <Icehawk78> So, I had a question in general - since Dell started packaging Ubuntu with their PCs, has the support community seen a large increase in help requests?
[05:23] <Luxurious> I see in the install manager that I can install some Kubuntu GUIs, what happens if I do that on GNOME?  Does it work at all?
[05:23] <gnomefreak> edgy
[05:23] <MenZa> cris: you on edgy?
[05:23] <MenZa> ahh
[05:23] <gnomefreak> cris: its in backports for edgy
[05:24] <unfold> menza: is it simpler? in my experience windows is usally simpler
[05:24] <cris> Menza, I'm with Feisty
[05:24] <gnomefreak> cris: and in multiverse in feisty
[05:24] <MenZa> unfold: Not necessarily
[05:24] <gnomefreak> cris: enable multiverse repo
[05:24] <MenZa> cris: Have you enabled all repositories in Feisty?
[05:24] <Mr> the only reason i wanted linux was for the beryl thing
[05:24] <Spee_Der> Sianis_: hello.
[05:24] <gnomefreak> cris: make sure its not backports
[05:24] <MenZa> Mr: There's more good stuff to Linux than just Beryl
[05:24] <Mr> lol
[05:24] <Mr> like?
[05:24] <MenZa> Mr: It's intimidating at first, but you'll love it
[05:24] <Spee_Der> Good morning everyone.
[05:24] <viljamo> Got a problem installing xmms2. It demands sqlite3 and it prompts I havent installed it but when I do sqlite -version it gives me 3.3.13
[05:24] <MenZa> Mr: I find the command line is insanely helpful for a lot of things
[05:24] <unfold> menza: i often have to dig myself in manuals and howtos for simple configuration...
[05:25] <cris> gnomefreak, multiverse, is enabled:  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty multiverse
[05:25] <Mr> well another thing that put me off ubuntu was the desktop images
[05:25] <Mr> there so damn big and clumpy
[05:25] <gnomefreak> cris: your missing universe
[05:25] <gnomefreak> cris: you need both
[05:25] <MenZa> Mr: change them :)
[05:25] <unfold> mr: that depends on how you configure them.
[05:25] <Mr> i had a look and gave up
[05:25] <cris> gnomefreak, universe is enabled too:  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty universe
[05:25] <gnomefreak> cris: paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin
[05:25] <killerbunny> Mr, so you are basicly picking your OS by the desktop effects, and pretty pictures ?
[05:25] <MenZa> cris: sudo apt-get update
[05:25] <Mr> i right clicked to go into properties and it didnt exist :/
[05:25] <killerbunny> Mr, nice on =/
[05:26] <killerbunny> e
[05:26] <Mr> also
[05:26] <cris> Menza, I did update
[05:26] <viljamo> Got a problem installing xmms2. It demands sqlite3 and it prompts I havent installed it but when I do sqlite -version it gives me 3.3.13. The error is: pkg-config cannot find sqlite3 >= 0.0
[05:26] <Mr> where is taskmanager?!
[05:26] <gnomefreak> !info sun-java6-plugin
[05:26] <shijirou_> Mr, there is such a thing as changing desktops... >.>
