[08:18] <vbgunz> dell500: you can edit grub to point to Windows I believe
[08:19] <vbgunz> dell500: I did it the otherway around.. XP, then Breezy...
[08:19] <dell500> apokryphos:  ok, what's after that?
[08:19] <apokryphos> dell500: plug in your ipod and fire it up
[08:20] <SpaceCake> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Permission denied
[08:20] <SpaceCake> wtf
[08:20] <dell500> apokryphos:  what's the syntax for this, and if i wipe the ipod clean with this command, how do i get the os back onto the ipod?
[08:20] <nandasunu> hi
[08:20] <apokryphos> dell500: I wouldn't know... do they recommend that you use a particular tool?
[08:20] <thrush> dell500: very easy to setup boot loader afer u install windows as long as u have a livecd knoppix or ubuntu or something
[08:21] <nandasunu> I have a quick question about shell scripts
[08:21] <dell500> apokryphos:  ya, they recommend using the ipod program in OSX or Win
[08:21] <dell500> whcih REALLY sucks
[08:21] <apokryphos> dell500: there's a howto on recovering Ubuntu after Windoze installation if you *need* it
[08:21] <dell500> cause i delete windows a long time ago
[08:21] <apokryphos> !grub
[08:21] <ubotu> well, grub is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[08:21] <dell500> well maybe my grub setup is messed up, cause i used to have windows on here before i upgraded
[08:22] <dell500> but i did a fresh install of ubuntu
[08:22] <bur[n] er> anyone know if there's a .deb for the latest firefox rc?  I've installed it manually, but a .deb would be nicer for upgrade purposes
[08:22] <SpaceCake> mifritscher,  you where right... mea culpa
[08:23] <eSPete> NoUse, i've istalle firestarter, but whne i try to start i i gets "Error reading file /etc/firestarter/inbound/allow-service: No such file or directory
[08:23] <eSPete> " and 10 other error like it
[08:23] <flexan> so ath_pci is installed and working witht he default kernel, how do i install it for the k7 kernel, since when I modprobe it on the k7 kernel it says ath_pci not found?
[08:24] <SpaceCake> btw, I solved the dialup problem. on the wiki was solved by a console ppp.  I solved with installing gnome-ppp :P
[08:24] <SpaceCake> flexan,  recompile from souce to get the module ?
[08:24] <cubex> hello everyone
[08:24] <sabmann> nalioth, i did it lol
[08:25] <cubex> can somebody please tell me why is my breezy lagging so much?
[08:25] <flexan> hmm and the one that shipped with the cd and works in the 386 kernel won't work with the k7 kernel?
[08:25] <crimsun> cubex: more details, please. That question is much too vague.
[08:25] <OneSeventeen> thrush, bad news... it worked and I'm in windows now.  :(  Thanks though, this helps a ton!
[08:25] <cubex> i installed the 32bit version on an Athlon64 and it was very very slow. the 64bit's performance was great, but not the 32bit
[08:25] <SpaceCake> cuber I am running on a Cwleron 300Mhz 128MB ram, and is ok :)
[08:25] <cubex> crimsun: well, for example, do you know the fading effect in gnome when you click log out?
[08:25] <SpaceCake> cuber=cubex
[08:26] <sdakota> hello
[08:26] <sabmann> breezy is almost two times faster as hoary for me
[08:26] <AceB747> is it reccomended to install x86 or the amd64 on a athlon 3000+ 64bit proc?
[08:26] <cubex> crimsun: that drops frames like i'm running it on a pentium
[08:26] <cubex> but why?! why is it suffering on my machine only?
[08:26] <SpaceCake> AceB747, its too fast for that... will blow
[08:26] <AceB747> spacecake, what do you mean?
[08:26] <cubex> i have an athlon64 3800+, 2 gigs of ram, and a geforce 6800
[08:26] <cubex> it shouldn't be *this* slow, right?
[08:26] <nalioth> sabmann: good to hear
[08:27] <SpaceCake> cubex no it should not be so slow
[08:27] <sdakota> I'm not sure if this question belongs here,... Linux thinks its local IP is <IP_ADDRESS>, which is generally okay because I access it like that,... but the DNS server thinks my internet ip is <IP_ADDRESS> too. What value and where (within Linux, within the DNS server or within VHCS) do I change to change the internet ip to my real internet ip?
[08:27] <tiffinfilion> I need some installation help.  When I get to the installing packages part it says that it encountered an error and to either burn the cd at a slower rate (did it) or clean the cd (did that too)....
[08:27] <AceB747> spacecake, should i only install the x86 then?
[08:27] <cubex> i heard about firefox issues, but it's not only limited to firefox, it was very slow. i installed suse and slackware with dropline gnome, both where much faster.
[08:27] <cubex> any recommendations?
[08:28] <SpaceCake> AceB747, besides testing both, no ideas. sorry
[08:28] <cubex> if you guys can just point me in the right direction that'll be great. i'm not sure even where to start looking
[08:28] <AceB747> spacecake, i have tried the amd64 before and it seemed like there were a ton of bugs... is it still like that?
[08:29] <varsendagger> how do i add services to a user? like audio?
[08:29] <apokryphos> amd64+ubuntu is very sweet
[08:29] <sabmann> cubex, I don't now, i've got an duron 1600 can't help you
[08:29] <SpaceCake> AceB747, I am running the x86 on 300Mhz on a sloooow hdd, and no problem
[08:29] <mostrodibiscotti> When I browse the root of myu Ubuntu 5.10 install, I see directories like "home", "var", etc.  Seems like when I did a Mandrake install a long time ago, I created these as partitions, but now the auto partitioning makes them as directories.  Where can I go to understand what each directory's purpose is?  A document that maybe talks about this.
[08:29] <SpaceCake> varsendagger,  System > Administration> user manager ?
[08:29] <AceB747> is the amd64 backwards compatible with stuff that would only be 32bit?
[08:30] <varsendagger> SpaceCake, how aobut from CLI?
[08:30] <cubex> so nobody is suffering from breezy's performance?
[08:30] <tiffinfilion> I need installation help
[08:30] <cubex> it's just me?
[08:30] <varsendagger> -- i'm running fubuntu only
[08:30] <eternalist> tiffinfilion: whats the problem?
[08:30] <freemanen> Whar changes will it be in drapper drake
[08:30] <tiffinfilion> While installing, it stops at the installing packages part and tells me to either re-burn the cd at a slower rate (which I've done) or clean the CD (done also)
[08:30] <SpaceCake> varsendagger,  nfc
[08:30] <thrush> AceB747: u shouldnt have a problem running regular 386 stuff
[08:30] <varsendagger> ahh
[08:31] <thrush> AceB747: even with other kernel
[08:31] <eternalist> tiffinfilion: corrupt iso image perhaps?
[08:31] <nalioth> AceB747: are you asking if you can run flash, w32codecs realplayer and other commercial things on amd64 out-of-the-box? the answer is no
[08:31] <eternalist> where did you download the iso from? get it from one of the sites listed at the Ubuntu page.
[08:31] <crimsun> cubex: if the amd64 version of Ubuntu runs fast, why use the 32-bit one?
[08:31] <tiffinfilion> I got it off one of the sites listed on ubuntu's site
[08:31] <Pegasos989> !openGL
[08:31] <ubotu> Pegasos989: Wish i knew
[08:31] <eternalist> nalioth: speaking of w32codecs..that package never solved my problema nd wmv is still garbled.
[08:31] <Pegasos989> hmm
[08:32] <AceB747> naloith, this is exactly what i am asking
[08:32] <Pegasos989> !radeon
[08:32] <ubotu> Pegasos989: Bugger all, i dunno
[08:32] <nalioth> eternalist: modern wmv will not play in linux at this time
[08:32] <eternalist> nalioth: do you know when they will or?
[08:32] <eternalist> ubotu: !ati
[08:32] <AceB747> naloith, i got wmv working in ubuntu
[08:32] <ubotu> eternalist: Bugger all, i dunno
[08:32] <Pegasos989> !ati
[08:32] <ubotu> I heard ati is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10
[08:32] <eternalist> ubotu: !wmv
[08:32] <Pegasos989> thanks
[08:33] <ubotu> eternalist: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[08:33] <crimsun> wmv3 will play with libvc1 on vlc on i386.
[08:33] <tiffinfilion> eternalist: can you recommend one of the links?  I don't remember which one I used to get the iso from
[08:33] <nalioth> eternalist: as soon as the reverse-engineering-elves figure it out
[08:33] <flexan> will the default modules that came with the 5.10 breezy badger 2.6.12-9-386 kernel work with the 2.6.12-9-k7 kernel?
[08:33] <eternalist> tiffinfilion: unfortunately i forgot which one i got mine from..just remember FTP sites in your location will be the fastest
[08:33] <eternalist> AceB747: explain what you did..
[08:33] <eternalist> AceB747: you can play modern wmvs?
[08:34] <tiffinfilion> eternalist: okay, will try again...hopefully I won't be back :D  Thanks
[08:34] <cubex> guys, anybody here is using a gigabye k8snxp motherboard?
[08:34] <AceB747> eternalist, i just downloaded the codecs from mplayer site and copied them into the plugin directory
[08:34] <eternalist> tiffinfilion: lol alright,np
[08:34] <eternalist> AceB747: already did that..
[08:34] <eternalist> Anyone know why Amule goes so damn slow?
[08:34] <eternalist> im getting like 5 kb/s
[08:34] <eternalist> welfare
[08:35] <AceB747> eternalist, lol... amule is slow at nature
[08:35] <AceB747> eternalist, could be a blocked port though
[08:35] <eternalist> AceB747: when i first got it working i was blazing
[08:36] <AceB747> why dont the w32codecs work on amd64 arch?
[08:38] <nalioth> AceB747: because they are compiled for x86 kernels
[08:38] <purplefeltangel> my internet is not working...i have a router, and it's working on the second computer, and when i boot into Windows XP, but not in Ubuntu....
[08:38] <nalioth> AceB747: they will run (maybe) if you set up a 32bit chroot on your amd64 box
[08:38] <SpaceCake> why my Firefox plugins are user based and not host based ?
[08:39] <paxmaster> for some reason I can't print in opera
[08:39] <AceB747> naloith, i think i am going to do a 32bit install... it is not worth it for the 64bit
[08:39] <paxmaster> duno why
[08:39] <paxmaster> in the file menu print there no printer
[08:39] <dell500> does anyone here know how to reset an ipod on linux?
[08:39] <nalioth> AceB747: very good
[08:39] <shinu> is there any way to install ff1.5 from the repos or do i have to compile from source?
[08:40] <paxmaster> but i can print in mozilla openoffices but not in opera
[08:40] <AceB747> naloith, thank you for saving me all the time
[08:40] <romey> dell500.  i can reset my ipod mini by holding down menu and the center button
[08:41] <dell500> romey:  like to factory defaults?
[08:41] <dell500> like removing everything, then putting the ipod back to its original package
[08:41] <eternalist> purplefeltangel: wait explain again?
[08:41] <romey> dell500.  no.  it just reboots it.
[08:41] <AceB747> ubuntu 6.10 is unstable?
[08:42] <slide> Ok, so the default firefox that is installed doesnt come with the document inspector, do i have to compile my own copy to get that?
[08:42] <purplefeltangel> eternalist: i have a router setup. the internet will connect on this computer, and when i boot to Windows XP on the other computer, but not on Ubuntu (which is on the same computer as Windows XP)
[08:42] <dell500> AceB747:  5.10
[08:42] <eternalist> purplefeltangel: network-admin and then type your password..configure from there.
[08:43] <AceB747> dell500, what is 6.10?
[08:43] <purplefeltangel> eternalist: everything looks fine in network-admin
[08:43] <eternalist> purplefeltangel: if your router/NAT supports DHCP broadcasting, it will give the card an ip by default, so make sure dhcp is selected from teh drop down menu
[08:43] <slide> rather, DOM inspector
[08:43] <purplefeltangel> eternalist: it's set to DHCP.
[08:43] <slide> i got it hehe
[08:43] <dell500> AceB747:  Ubuntu 5.10 Breezey Badger is the current version out
[08:43] <dell500> there is no 6.10
[08:43] <dell500> just FYI
[08:44] <AceB747> dell500, i am downloading 6.10 right now
[08:44] <eternalist> lol @ chaky
[08:44] <eternalist> purplefeltangel: hmm
[08:44] <eternalist> purplefeltangel: do you know what the ip of that computer needs to be?
[08:44] <purplefeltangel> eternalist: no.
[08:44] <eternalist> you can set it yourself manually, and then edit the DNS and what domains to search.
[08:44] <AceB747> dell500, maybe the file is named incorrectly
[08:45] <eternalist> check the DNS tab under network-admin and see if theres any information in there.
[08:45] <eternalist> DNS servers shoudl read <IP_ADDRESS> or whatever the ip of your router is
[08:45] <crimsun> AceB747: um, we haven't released 6.04 yet, much less 6.10.
[08:45] <eternalist> then under Search Domains you should have your ISP info there.
[08:45] <eternalist> crimsun: you're part of the Ubuntu team?
[08:46] <BockBilbo> hello
[08:46] <purplefeltangel> eternalist, yes, there is an IP address under DNS server and my ISP is listed under search domains.
[08:46] <crimsun> eternalist: yes, I'm a universe/multiverse maintainer (wiki/MOTU)
[08:46] <BockBilbo> can someone tell me which filesystem is better between reiserfs and ext3?
[08:46] <crimsun> BockBilbo: depends on the desired usage
[08:46] <eternalist> crimsun: cool
[08:46] <eternalist> props man, i really like this distro
[08:46] <BockBilbo> crimsum for my root and my home
[08:46] <eternalist> purplefeltangel: okay, ping google.ca and tell me what you get
[08:46] <crimsun> BockBilbo: but what will you be doing with them?
[08:46] <eternalist> or better yet, type ifconfig eth0
[08:46] <crimsun> hi james
[08:46] <AceB747> dell500, nm i must already have downlaoded it and firefox sequentally renames it
[08:47] <sky_monkey007> hey guys :)  Does anyone know how I can rename a file that is inside of a .zip?  The filename is all messed up and no program I have will extract it.
[08:47] <BockBilbo> dayly user crimsun
[08:47] <dutch> hi crimsun..doing okay ?
[08:47] <eternalist> purplefeltangel: wait, ifconfig only
[08:47] <BockBilbo> mmm usual programs and some development
[08:47] <BockBilbo> plus engineering stuff
[08:47] <crimsun> dutch: yep, just fine, yourself?
[08:47] <BockBilbo> *daily use
[08:47] <dutch> not complaining too loucly...
[08:48] <crimsun> BockBilbo: the default ext3 will suffice
[08:48] <dutch> loucly/ loudly :)
[08:48] <BockBilbo> and when will be reiserfs better?
[08:48] <BockBilbo> in a web serer for instance?
[08:48] <purplefeltangel> eternalist: ok, when i pinged i got "unknown host" and when i did ifconfig i got a bunch of random information.
[08:48] <eternalist> purplefeltangel: its not random..
[08:48] <AceB747> does vmware work well to run windows under linux?
[08:48] <crimsun> BockBilbo: if you have millions of tiny files
[08:48] <purplefeltangel> eternalist: "random" meaning "I don't understand a lick of it"
[08:49] <eternalist> purplefeltangel: what does it say for inet addr: second line..
[08:49] <BockBilbo> i see
[08:49] <crimsun> BockBilbo: tiny in the context of 2kb-4kb
[08:49] <BockBilbo> aham
[08:49] <kandoora_> what is md5sum ad36f7de1bba1229d143b93d2b6cd8e9
[08:49] <kandoora_> what does it do
[08:49] <kandoora_> how do i use it
[08:49] <BockBilbo> i think i read that reiserfs is newer than ext3
[08:49] <BockBilbo> mmm
[08:49] <kandoora_> can it be used to download packages
[08:49] <BockBilbo> thanks
[08:49] <Marxist> man md5sum
[08:50] <crimsun> BockBilbo: new != better for all intensive purposes
[08:50] <Amaranth> kandoora_: No, paranoid people use md5sum to make sure their downloads aren't corrupt or changed by an evil 3rd party
[08:50] <BockBilbo> aham
[08:50] <BockBilbo> crimsun, thanks for all
[08:50] <purplefeltangel> eternalist: "<IP_ADDRESS> Bcast: <IP_ADDRESS> Mask: <IP_ADDRESS>"
[08:50] <BockBilbo> :)
[08:50] <BockBilbo> egotta go
[08:50] <BockBilbo> bye
[08:51] <kandoora_> what is cvs
[08:51] <kandoora_> how can i use it to compile
[08:51] <kemik> !cvs
[08:51] <ubotu> from memory, cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/
[08:53] <freemanen> how long will it take to get ubuntu cd:s
[08:53] <noddaba> I'm looking for a link that can help explain to someone that Linux doesn't have a memory leak, it's Linux actively caching memory.  Anybody know of a good site off the top of their head?
[08:53] <Seveas> freemanen, shipit takes 4 to 6 weeks
[08:53] <siriuskr> took me like 2 months i think
[08:53] <purplefeltangel> freemanen: depends on where you live.
[08:53] <freemanen>  2005-10-26: 5 CDs (sent to shipping company)
[08:54] <freemanen> I live in sweden
[08:54] <siriuskr> a good unrarer for linux ready set go !!!
[08:54] <Seveas> freemanen, them wait 2-3 more weeks
[08:54] <purplefeltangel> freemanen, they should come soon. mine took almost exactly a month and i'm in Canada, and htey send from France.
[08:54] <Seveas> purplefeltangel, ehrm, they send from holland...
[08:54] <paxmaster> for some reason I can't print in opera
[08:54] <BooZee> I can't see textboxes in flash !
[08:54] <purplefeltangel> seveas *shrug* mine came from france.
[08:54] <freemanen> Do they send it from france?
[08:55] <purplefeltangel> freemanen: i guess they send from multiple locations. but it's in europe, anyway.
[08:55] <Pegasos989> Hmmh. I have read the repository guides a dozen time and still can't understand what is the problem, so I guess it's best to just copy paste http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 to some repsitory file. Could someone tell me where exactly is this file located?
[08:55] <freemanen> ok
[08:55] <Seveas> Pegasos989, /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:55] <Pegasos989> thanks, Seveas
[08:55] <Seveas> the easy way: sudo wget http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 -O /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:56] <Seveas> the O in -O is a capital Oh, not a zero
[08:56] <Pegasos989> ok, thanks
[08:56] <Seveas> Pegasos989, eh dang WAIT
[08:56] <Seveas> the easy way: sudo wget http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/d2325 -O /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:57] <Seveas> the d is *very* important
[08:57] <dell500> !grub
[08:57] <ubotu> grub is, like, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[08:57] <Pegasos989> Seveas,  kinda noticed...
[08:57] <Pegasos989> :D
[08:57] <purplefeltangel> egh, can someone help me with my net connection? the person who was helping me before left...
[08:57] <mrverbose> anyone using aqhbci on ubuntu?
[08:58] <Marxist> pruplefeltangel, please explain your problem again
[08:58] <mrverbose> i have been unable to get the library installed due to dependency errors
[08:58] <BooZee> Help! I can't see textboxes in flash !
[08:58] <purplefeltangel> marxist: i have a router setup. i can connect on this computer, and on the other computer when i boot into windows XP, but not when i boot into Ubuntu.
[08:58] <dell500> when installing Windows after Ubuntu, does the DVD work as well, cause that has the live cd with it i think.
[08:59] <Seveas> dell500, yes
[08:59] <dell500> kool beans :)
[08:59] <dell500> is installing windows hard after installing ubuntu?
[08:59] <dell500> for a dual boot?
[08:59] <sky_monkey007> purplefeltangel: have you tried going into Gnomes Network utility to try to see if you can pull an IP address?
[08:59] <kemik> !recover
[08:59] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, recover is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[08:59] <BooZee> !flash
[08:59] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, flash is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:00] <kemik> dell500 ^^
[09:00] <sky_monkey007> dell500: if your going to have a dual boot system, you have to do Windows first, and then Linux...
[09:00] <purplefeltangel> sky_monkey007: which is the Network utility?
[09:00] <kemik> sky_monkey007: not really
[09:00] <sky_monkey007> otherwise the boot loader gets overwritten by Windows
[09:00] <dell500> sky_monkey007:  not really
[09:00] <shinu> if i install firefox 1.5 from source, does it overwrite my firefox 1.0.7 binaries?
[09:00] <Marxist> pruplefeltangel, You have two computers, tell me the Operating system on each
[09:01] <sky_monkey007> kemik: I've not seen a single instance where Windows doesn't overwrite the bootloader, regardless if you use LiLO or Grub
[09:01] <Marxist> and tell me which is not woking for you
[09:01] <Seveas> sky_monkey007, you can *restore* the bootloader
[09:01] <kemik> sky_monkey007: as Seveas said.. and the howto has been pasted...
[09:01] <sky_monkey007> yeah, you CAN restore it.  It's just a pain in the ass.
[09:01] <BooZee> need help with flash! can't see text in flash movies
[09:01] <dell500> sky_monkey007:  that's why there is a howto on recoving ubuntu after installing windows
[09:01] <purplefeltangel> marxist: on this computer, win98. on the other computer, dual-boot system of winXP and ubuntu
[09:01] <Seveas> shinu, not if you do it properly
[09:01] <Seveas> BooZee: please stop repeating the same question. If someone knows, (s)he will answer. You can try posting on the mailing list too.
[09:01] <Marxist> ok, what kind of connect for you have?
[09:01] <shinu> Seveas: as in? :D
[09:01] <dell500> !flash
[09:01] <ubotu> flash is, like, totally, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:01] <sky_monkey007> Why would you want to run Windows anyways?  It's crap :P
[09:01] <Marxist> connection*
[09:02] <dell500> BooZee:  there ya go
[09:02] <Seveas> shinu, ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
[09:02] <nalioth> sky_monkey007: take that to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[09:02] <BooZee> dell500: been there.. no help
[09:03] <Marxist> pruplefeltangel, What type of connection is that you have? xdsl, cable?
[09:04] <Marxist> PPPoE?
[09:04] <sky_monkey007> yeah, typo.
[09:04] <shinu> Seveas: and would i have to make a link to /usr/local/mozilla-firefox to open ff1.5 as opposed to 1.0.7?
[09:04] <Marxist> why is that?
[09:04] <sky_monkey007> cable is so much easier :)
[09:04] <Seveas> shinu, you could do that
[09:05] <enkrav> Help! synaptic doesn't work any more, it says -- Impossible to control the list of packages ... - stat (2 No such file or directory), any advice?
[09:05] <shinu> Seveas: any other solutions?
[09:05] <sky_monkey007> enkrav: try an apt-get clean
[09:05] <Seveas> wait for the 1.5 packages which will arrice shortly :)
[09:05] <sky_monkey007> and then apt-get update
[09:05] <bl3ssing> good day everyone
[09:05] <Marxist> yeah, cable is easier but it's upload atleast in new york is not as fast as a dsl's
[09:06] <levander> I think I smeared some Artic Silver thermal compound on my motherboard where it shouldn't be.  Can I clean the motherboard with isopryl alcohol and a lint free cloth?  Or, is that dangerous?
[09:06] <sky_monkey007> Marxist: very true.
[09:06] <purplefeltangel> marxist, i have a cable modem
[09:06] <bl3ssing> how can I play an wmv file with a video player in linux ...? where should I take any codecs for kubuntu?
[09:06] <sky_monkey007> Isopropyl alcohol won't hurt it.  Just make sure it's a high percentage of alcohol
[09:06] <sky_monkey007> otherwise it might leave crap behind as residue
[09:06] <purplefeltangel> (sorry it took so long; my mom made me set up an alarm clock)
[09:06] <thrush> levander: u should be fine with that
[09:07] <levander> sky_monkey007: it says 70% USP.  Is USP alcohol?
[09:07] <sky_monkey007> thats a decent amount.  You probably won't find much higher.
[09:07] <Marxist> pruplefeltangel, try to ping <IP_ADDRESS> from your ubuntu box
[09:07] <purplefeltangel> marxist: ok i will do that
[09:07] <shinu> Seveas: ff 1.5 is due in two weeks or something right? (i mean the official realease)
[09:08] <sky_monkey007> purplefeltangel: if that doesn't work, be sure to tell us what brand of router your using.  Some have a different gateway IP address.
[09:08] <Seveas> shinu, the devs are packaging the betas too
[09:08] <levander> I've also got this new ArctiClean "thermal material remover" that you're supposed to use on CPU's, anybody know *for sure* if I can use that on my motherboard?  It does a much better job than isopryl alcohol, at least it did on the CPU.
[09:09] <purplefeltangel> marxist: "destination host unreachable"
[09:09] <bl3ssing> how can I play an wmv file with a video player in linux ...? where should I take any codecs for kubuntu?
[09:09] <sky_monkey007> levander: I wouldn't risk it.  Just use the alcohol
[09:09] <shinu> Seveas: really? so we had deb for beta version already?.. or did i misunderstand something?..
[09:09] <MagicFab> !w32codecs
[09:09] <ubotu> I heard w32codecs is binary only codecs that some call evil., and they're available from http://giannaros.org/public/breezydebs/
[09:09] <sky_monkey007> b13ssing, you need the win32 codecs
[09:09] <bl3ssing> they are illegally
[09:09] <sky_monkey007> you can get them from Mplayers website
[09:09] <sethk> levander, I second that, definitely don't use it
[09:09] <bl3ssing> I want something legally
[09:09] <levander> sky_monkey007: yeah, I think I'm gonna do it the hard way.   It would be nice if synaptic told your "solution" in a dialog box and offered to try it out.
[09:10] <levander> sethk: sky_monkey00: thanks, I'm doing it the hard way with isopryl.  Thanks guys.
[09:10] <sky_monkey007> b13ssing: it's not illegal.  They are redistributable codecs.
[09:10] <bl3ssing> I want to use synaptic too, but where can I find it ...
[09:10] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: as long as you already have a Windows licence, they're legal - of course IANAL ;)
[09:10] <Iconsumed> I just switched from debian to ubuntu, but the keymap I had in debian "dvorak(se)" doesn't exist. Is there a way of getting it?
[09:10] <bl3ssing> I have the winxp licence but I want to quit with it ...
[09:10] <sky_monkey007> not like Microsofts going to come after you for downloading codecs anyways, lmao.
[09:10] <bl3ssing> I want to learn using linux
[09:10] <Marxist> pruplefeltangel, check the cables and make sure they are properly connected to their ports, but first i will ask that you run sudo ifconfig eth0
[09:10] <bl3ssing> no windows anymore
[09:11] <sky_monkey007> thats fine.  Just stop using it.  There's not real "quitting" or canceling your license
[09:11] <yi> any muine users around?
[09:11] <bl3ssing> I know .. but I want to use codecs perfectly legally. where can I find them?
[09:11] <purplefeltangel> marxist, i have checked the cables 6000000 times and i have ifconfig eth0 up right now; what do you want to know?
[09:11] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: a good source of info for replacement formats is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeFormats
[09:11] <sky_monkey007> b13ssing, I already told you.
[09:11] <yi> i've written a patch that improves album art fetching but i'd like to do some tests and see how accurate it is
[09:11] <Marxist> just the output from that
[09:11] <sky_monkey007> it is 100% absolutely legal if you have ever purchased a version of Windows
[09:12] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: there's no way you can use the codecs legally unless you pay a licence fee for them to the patent / licence holders
[09:12] <purplefeltangel> marxist: whole thing? thatll take a minute; brb
[09:12] <sky_monkey007> MagicFab: He already owns Windows
[09:12] <sky_monkey007> He's paid his license fee.
[09:12] <sky_monkey007> He can legally use them to play WMV content
[09:12] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: that "fee" is included in Windows price, laptops pricing (for example) and "pro" versions of other distros (like Mandriva)
[09:13] <devint> IANAL, but I agree with sky_monkey007
[09:13] <MagicFab> sky_monkey007: just explaining where the fee comes from - it's not "free"
[09:13] <devint> IANAL, but I agree with sky_monkey007*
[09:13] <crashprone> Hey.  Problems with Flash.  Help?
[09:13] <bl3ssing> how can I take compile those files ... those codecs from the website you gave me ... MagicFab ?
[09:13] <sky_monkey007> The only reason the W32 codecs do not come shipped w/ Ubuntu or other 100% open source distros is because they haven't paid Microsoft the licensing to package it.
[09:14] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: I gave you several - which one ?
[09:14] <bl3ssing> I know it very well MagicFab , in this way I got this licence ... I've my own laptop HP nw8000
[09:14] <bl3ssing> lol MagicFab
[09:14] <sky_monkey007> bl3ssing: you download them from www.mplayer.hq.hu, unzip them in your /usr/lib/w32 directory
[09:14] <bl3ssing> www.theora
[09:14] <Marxist> pruplefeltangel, try running sudo dhclient
[09:15] <MagicFab> sky_monkey007: can't they just be installed thru apt-get / synaptic ? I believe they're in universe/multivers repos.
[09:15] <bl3ssing> sorry sky_monkey007 , i can't speak any hungarn language ...
[09:15] <Pegasos989> Can I install mPlayer by just going to synaptic and searching for it?
[09:15] <Marxist> and then run ping www.yahoo.com
[09:15] <nalioth> bl3ssing: it's not in hungarian
[09:15] <crashprone> Hey, ahh... I installed the "swf-player" package in apt-get, and it shows up as a plugin in browsers, but it just doesn't run, the place it should be is blank.
[09:15] <sky_monkey007> rather, www.mplayerhq.hu
[09:15] <sky_monkey007> it's not hungarian.
[09:15] <Pegasos989> k
[09:16] <bl3ssing> sorry, but i don't understand what is written right over there.
[09:16] <sky_monkey007> MagicFab, I have the universe repos and I didn't see the Win32 codecs.
[09:16] <bl3ssing> hungary is my country neighbor so ...
[09:16] <el-esco> hello , can anyone tell me if they tried playing games on the ubuntu software?
[09:16] <MagicFab> It's very detailed in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-fda9cc5147253891fe3047263b82d787ab025bba
[09:16] <bl3ssing> why is the domain than in *.hu?
[09:17] <Pegasos989> sky_monkey007, I can't use Red Hat / Fedora RPM packages natively, can I? So do I need to compile from source or something O.o
[09:17] <sky_monkey007> b13ssing, here is the link to the download: http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/windows-all-20050412.zip
[09:17] <el-esco> need some help in installing some games on my operating system
[09:17] <Marxist> Pegasos989, apt-get install mplayer but make sure you choose the one with your systems architecture
[09:17] <crashprone> What type of games?
[09:17] <Marxist> Pegasos989, mplayer-k7 is for athlons
[09:17] <sky_monkey007> Pegasos989: there is a way to take a src.rpm and build it as a .deb package, I believe
[09:18] <Pegasos989> Marxist, okay
[09:18] <MagicFab> Pegasos989: mplayer is also in synaptic - no need to comiple or use .debs
[09:18] <sky_monkey007> I think alien can do it.
[09:18] <nalioth> sky_monkey007: that is not necessary at all, and not recommended
[09:18] <MagicFab> Use .debs with alien as *last resort*
[09:18] <nalioth> Pegasos989: please do not use non ubuntu pkgs or repositories
[09:18] <sky_monkey007> nalioth, I'm just stating that you CAN.  I never said it's recommended.
[09:18] <n0dl> is java compatable with links?
[09:18] <el-esco> counterstrike..
[09:18] <el-esco> painkiller.. and various others
[09:19] <purplefeltangel> marxist: i just PMed you
[09:19] <nalioth> n0dl: links the browser(s) dont use java
[09:19] <sky_monkey007> Nothing wrong with knowing how to do things "outside the box"
[09:19] <Marxist> oh sorry
[09:19] <d03boy> can anyone tell me an easy/quick way to reinstall grub into the mbr so I can dualboot again (I reinstalled winxp so it overwrote the mbr)
[09:19] <MagicFab> !mbr
[09:19] <n0dl> nalioth: which text browsers allow java?
[09:19] <ubotu> Not a clue, MagicFab
[09:19] <sky_monkey007> d03boy: do you have a linux boot disk?
[09:19] <nalioth> n0dl: none, to my knowledge
[09:19] <d03boy> sky_monkey007: i could download one
[09:19] <Pegasos989> nalioth, okay. I took it from apt-get
[09:19] <el-esco> can games get installed on it in the first place?
[09:20] <nalioth> Pegasos989: make sure you also install mplayer-fonts
[09:20] <MagicFab> d03boy: check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[09:20] <Pegasos989> nalioth, okay, thanks
[09:20] <d03boy> ok
[09:20] <MagicFab> el-esco: so far I think the easiest way is using Cedega's tools
[09:20] <sky_monkey007> d03boy: follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76652.html
[09:20] <bl3ssing> what's the best video player which has all the codecs for linux?
[09:20] <el-esco> cedega tools.. download link?
[09:20] <mostrodibiscotti> is there a gui for iptables?
[09:21] <crashprone> el-esco: Yeah, Windows-based games are thougher to get running though.  A lot of Linux games are in the Universe repository though, so you'll need to enable that first for them.
[09:21] <nalioth> ubotu: tell mostrodibiscotti about Firestarter
[09:21] <MagicFab> el-esco: Sorry, Cedega is the product, Transgaming the company
[09:21] <MagicFab> el-esco: non-free, BTW (subscription)
[09:21] <d03boy> i dont have an ubuntu cd.... but i guess i'll have to get one :|
[09:21] <sky_monkey007> el-esco: it's free if you build it from cvs
[09:22] <sky_monkey007> it's tricky, but I did it.
[09:22] <sky_monkey007> you just don't get access to the support
[09:22] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: vlc does a good job *using* existing codecs and is light. Most players don't "include" codecs
[09:22] <crashprone> I've never done the CVS thing.  :-S
[09:22] <sky_monkey007> there's a good guide out there that helped me.
[09:22] <el-esco> can i use your sky monkey
[09:22] <bl3ssing> thanks MagicFab ... where can i find vlc player?
[09:22] <el-esco> i mean.. sorry .. can i use your cvs
[09:22] <sky_monkey007> google for "Install Cedega CVS"
[09:22] <Kasatka> Hey all
[09:23] <sky_monkey007> uh, you can't just "use" mine.  You have to install it yourself :)
[09:23] <el-esco> ah ok :) thx
[09:23] <sky_monkey007> el-esco: it's pretty easy.  Just follow all the steps exactly how it says.
[09:23] <el-esco> so first i enable universe repository
[09:23] <el-esco> then install cedega
[09:23] <el-esco> cvs
[09:23] <sky_monkey007> you may need to install some development packages to do it, though.
[09:23] <mostrodibiscotti> nalioth
[09:24] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: almost all packages / software discussed can be found on synaptic
[09:24] <sky_monkey007> uh...no.
[09:24] <mostrodibiscotti> thank you, I will google firestarter
[09:24] <MagicFab> (the package manager)
[09:24] <sky_monkey007> You can't get it that way, not for cvs at least
[09:24] <nalioth> mostrodibiscotti: firestarter is in the repos, no need to google
[09:24] <sky_monkey007> brb
[09:24] <MagicFab> sky_monkey007: didn't know you could build it - the FAQ mentions the dependencies: http://www.transgaming.com/cedega_faq.php
[09:25] <Deysi> hi
[09:25] <mostrodibiscotti> I just installed it, using synaptic
[09:25] <bl3ssing> I can't find the synaptic ...program.
[09:26] <bl3ssing> MagicFab, I can't find the synaptic ...program.
[09:26] <mostrodibiscotti> what I'd like to do is create a firewall/router appliance for my network
[09:26] <nalioth> bl3ssing: system > admin > synaptic
[09:26] <mostrodibiscotti> is iptables the way to go?
[09:26] <bl3ssing> how can I compli the binary files?
[09:26] <Deysi> how can I use it ??
[09:26] <bl3ssing> I don't have admin ... nalioth  :-(
[09:26] <Marxist> purplefeltangel, left so quick after i helped her fix her connection problems. :-)
[09:26] <bl3ssing> how can I have it?
[09:26] <Amaranth> !root
[09:26] <ubotu> from memory, root is disabled in Ubuntu, you can read all about it on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[09:27] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: admin is a menu, at the top
[09:27] <nalioth> bl3ssing: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[09:27] <Marxist> this is question for the ubuntu developers, does ubuntu enable dhcp by default?
[09:27] <nalioth> MagicFab: not if he's using k- or x- ubuntu
[09:27] <bl3ssing> the last ... nalioth
[09:27] <nalioth> bl3ssing: you're using xubuntu ?
[09:27] <mamoru> hello
[09:27] <bl3ssing> MagicFab, i don't have any admin in the top of the ...
[09:27] <bl3ssing> no
[09:27] <bl3ssing> kubuntu
[09:27] <Deysi> version5.04
[09:27] <nalioth> bl3ssing: then you need "adept"
[09:28] <Marxist> to enable root, type sudo passwd root
[09:28] <nalioth> bl3ssing: adept is in your menus
[09:28] <bl3ssing> but ... why can't I use synaptic?
[09:28] <nalioth> Marxist: please dont advise that
[09:28] <bl3ssing> I know that once I had it ... but I don't know why I don't have it anymore
[09:28] <bl3ssing> :-(
[09:28] <mamoru> please help. I have got an ISO image for a bootable floppy disc. How do i create such a disk now from this image?
[09:28] <nalioth> bl3ssing: adept is kubuntus pkg manager, if you want synaptic, install it
[09:28] <MagicFab> mamoru: double-click on it
[09:29] <bl3ssing> is synaptic the same with adept?
[09:29] <Marxist> when you don't want a root user do this as root: passwd -L root
[09:29] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: they're equivalente tools
[09:29] <Marxist> i think that's the right command
[09:29] <bl3ssing> great ...
[09:29] <Marxist> sorry naolith
[09:29] <bl3ssing> than I don't need synaptic.
[09:29] <nalioth> Marxist: advise !root, please
[09:30] <bl3ssing> I can't find vlc player in adept?
[09:30] <nalioth> bl3ssing: enable universe and multiverse repos
[09:30] <MagicFab> bl3ssing: check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptGuide
[09:30] <dell500> so how exactly do i install windows if it doesn't want to install on the partition i asked it to.... windows is so crappy
[09:31] <thrush> dell500: is this for games? if not u can just use vmplayer or somesuch
[09:31] <Marxist> blessing: uncomment the universe and multiverse line /etc/apt/sources.lst
[09:31] <mamoru> hmmm
[09:31] <nalioth> dell500: have you seen qemu?
[09:32] <dell500> thrush:  it's to get my ipod working
[09:32] <dell500> i just saw that on a thread somewhere nalioth
[09:32] <dell500> what is it?
[09:32] <mamoru> another question - how to unRAR the .rar archives?
[09:32] <nalioth> mamoru: unrar x file.rar
[09:32] <varsendagger> hey i added a new user what do i need to do in order to get audio working for this user?
[09:32] <varsendagger> i've added them to group audio
[09:33] <varsendagger> -- trying to get xmms to work, it works with my other user
[09:33] <mamoru> probably the unrar should be installed to be able to perform such an action
[09:33] <thrush> mamoru: u might need to install unrar-nonfree
[09:34] <bl3ssing> how can I read the source.list file?
[09:34] <FJ_Sanchez> Hi
[09:34] <bl3ssing> I'm in the directory, but not able of reading causeo f not knowing ... how to command this.
[09:34] <MagicFa1> dell500: yeah, it's usually easier to first install Win
[09:34] <bl3ssing> :-(
[09:34] <thrush> bl3ssing: from a terminal sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list or something
[09:35] <dell500> MagicFa1:  thought so, this is sooooooooo stupid
[09:35] <dell500> lol
[09:35] <FJ_Sanchez> How can I rename a file that begins with - ??
[09:35] <dell500> i just want to get my music onto my ipod without extra space being used up by junk files...
[09:35] <JDahl> FJ_Sanchez, use " "
[09:35] <FJ_Sanchez> Mmm
[09:35] <FJ_Sanchez> But them I couldn't use wildcards, could it?
[09:36] <mamoru> hmmm... Where can I get the unrar-nonfree?
[09:36] <bl3ssing> thanks thrush  ...
[09:36] <bl3ssing> what am I doing now with this sources.list?
[09:36] <bl3ssing> what is this file for?
[09:36] <Red-Sox> in KDE how do you get the time in 12 hour?
[09:36] <NoUse> FJ_Sanchez you should be able to escape each question makr - eg. \?\?
[09:37] <ecobuntu> anyone familar with gparted?  i have 1 gb that's unallocated and I want to use it...how can i allocate it to one of the pre-existing partitions?
[09:37] <FJ_Sanchez> NoUse, I know this, but I cannot mv a file that begins with -
[09:37] <NoUse> FJ_Sanchez you can escape the - as well
[09:37] <NoUse> FJ_Sanchez \-
[09:37] <MagicFa1> bl3ssing: you don't need to edit that file directly. You can do so with Synaptic - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[09:37] <Aragorn_Guardian> hi all
[09:37] <FJ_Sanchez> NoUse, it doesn't work
[09:38] <MagicFa1> ecobuntu: you can't merge partitions unless one of them was under LVM first
[09:38] <NoUse> FJ_Sanchez quotes should work too
[09:38] <benoy> hi all i have a quick question regarding logging out in breezy
[09:38] <Aragorn_Guardian> i am choosing what kindo of partition use. i read about xfs, that is better, at all. XFS is stable in ubuntu? is safe to use?
[09:38] <benoy> What is the difference between "suspend" and "hibernate"
[09:38] <ecobuntu> MagicFa1: so the only way i would be able to get get that extra GB is if i reformat?
[09:38] <FJ_Sanchez> I try with mv "- xxxxx.xx" "xxxxx.xxx"
[09:38] <Aragorn_Guardian> I wanna use smb in those xfs partitions...
[09:38] <FJ_Sanchez> But it doesn't work
[09:39] <bl3ssing> how can I make my mozilla being the default webbrowser? i don't need konquerror cause it is too much conquerring with me. LOL
[09:39] <MagicFa1> benoy: suspend is to memory, hibernate is to hard disk
[09:39] <NoUse> FJ_Sanchez what error are you getting?
[09:39] <FJ_Sanchez> mv: invalid option --
[09:39] <MagicFa1> ecobuntu: you could do it in several steps
[09:39] <benoy> anyone??
[09:39] <ecobuntu> MagicFa1: how?
[09:39] <MagicFa1> ecobuntu: 1) copy your "target" partition to another place, free its space, reformat it using LVM
[09:40] <ecobuntu> what's LVM?
[09:40] <benoy> oh i see thank you MagicFal
[09:40] <MagicFa1> 2) recopy the original particion info to your LVM, merge with 2nd partition
[09:40] <NoUse> FJ_Sanchez using a GUI to move it might help
[09:40] <FJ_Sanchez> I cannot
[09:40] <bl3ssing> ecobuntu, check this ...http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
[09:41] <MagicFa1> ecobuntu: you'll have to read about LVM, can't explain it all here
[09:41] <MagicFa1> bl3ssing: tks.
[09:41] <ecobuntu> ok
[09:41] <bl3ssing> np MagicFa1 ...
[09:41] <bl3ssing> anytime.
[09:41] <FJ_Sanchez> In this computer I'm a user
[09:41] <bl3ssing> ;)
[09:41] <MagicFa1> ecobuntu: don't forget backups
[09:41] <NoUse> FJ_Sanchez google around for mv syntax or tips
[09:41] <bl3ssing> how can I make my mozilla being the default webbrowser? i don't need konquerror cause it is too much conquerring with me. LOL
[09:42] <ecobuntu> MagicFa1: i might just reinstall...i've got dapper on a partition anyways that i might to give to something else...this will free up that space
[09:42] <FJ_Sanchez> Ok
[09:42] <FJ_Sanchez> bye
[09:42] <callsign> hey does anyone need any ram?
[09:42] <sdakota> heyah... I'm doing this command:  "cat -r * | grep <IP_ADDRESS>"... but how do I output the STDERR to /dev/null and display the filename of the file currently being shown?
[09:42] <MagicFa1> bl3ssing: in KDE Control Center, KDE COmponents
[09:43] <MagicFa1> bl3ssing: See http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/userguide/kcontrol-kde-components.html
[09:43] <Mabus06> callsign, free ram? :D
[09:43] <christos> i installed flex from synaptic and i can't flex anything. gcc of lex.yy.c prints out many many lines on examples of flex man. anyone had that problem?
[09:43] <sorush20> if I were to compile the kernel from source would synaptic be able to update it or not?
[09:43] <robbkidd> So, here's an oddity: totem-xine only displays a blue screen on the right monitor of my dual monitor setup.  If I drag the window to the left, the video will appear.  Back to the right, blue screen.
[09:44] <i3dmaster> what app can play asx media file?
[09:44] <NoUse> i3dmaster mplayer
[09:44] <i3dmaster> NoUse, tried, not plaging
[09:44] <Pegasos989> ...TOU! Just realized that I have dualboot with 2 versions of linux, neither of them have write support for ntfs, and 90% of my data is on ntfs drives! Massive data loss - here I come!
[09:44] <bl3ssing> what app can play wmv meida file?
[09:45] <sorush20> I ask this because my hotplug restart is taking a long time and it hangs in half way after stop and restart.. could it also be the fact that I have an ndiswrapper hotpluged wireless card?
[09:45] <nalioth> Pegasos989: that should be telling you something
[09:45] <NoUse> i3dmaster google around,it's possible
[09:45] <Pegasos989> nalioth, what?  :D
[09:45] <trappist> Pegasos989: linux doesn't have ntfs write support.  captive is the only free-as-in-beer solution I know of.
[09:45] <nalioth> Pegasos989: not at all.
[09:45] <i3dmaster> NoUse, ok thanks
[09:45] <robbkidd> i3dmaster: You need the w32codecs.
[09:46] <Pegasos989> :P
[09:46] <yi> linux _does_ have ntfs write support, it's just very simple.
[09:46] <trappist> by simple he means almost useless
[09:46] <christos> i installed flex from synaptic and i can't flex anything. gcc of lex.yy.c prints out many many lines on examples of flex man. anyone had that problem?
[09:46] <trappist> the file must remain the same size
[09:47] <trappist> if not, filesystem go poof.
[09:47] <Air2k> hi. i just upgraded to breezy. and my desktop context menu (right click on desktop) does not contain any quick starter anymore (e.g. gnome-terminal). how can i add them?
[09:48] <purplefeltangel> how do you edit your filters on Evolution?
[09:48] <nalioth> Air2k: install "nautilus-terminal-here" using synaptic
[09:49] <robbkidd> Anyone using totem-xine on a dual screen setup?
[09:49] <bl3ssing> what app can play wmv meida file?
[09:49] <i3dmaster> robbkidd, I've had that installed. Do you know which library is using to play the asx file? I can search the file and make sure it is thre.
[09:50] <robbkidd> bl3ssing: xine and mplayer
[09:50] <nalioth> ubotu: tell bl3ssing about multimedia
[09:50] <Pegasos989> How do I mount ntfs partitions for reading? Or even list them? In hoary hedgehog fdisk -l listed them but now it doens't :/
[09:50] <nalioth> bl3ssing: if you are using kubuntu, perhaps you should ask in #kubuntu
[09:50] <BoneE> tell bonee about multimedia
[09:50] <BoneE> ubotu tell bonee about multimedia
[09:51] <hypn0> ubotu, tell hypn0 about multimedia
[09:52] <Air2k> nalioth : thank you.
[09:52] <nalioth> Air2k: np
[09:52] <MagicFab> back - nick problems
[09:54] <Stormx2> hey
[09:54] <Stormx2> i have such a bad cold, can't see anything...
[09:54] <Stormx2> two boxes of tissues in 1 and a half hours... >.>
[09:54] <MagicFab> nalioth: is there a macro or something to get search results from the wiki here ?
[09:55] <Stormx2> !+wiki RootSudo
[09:55] <ubotu> RootSudo: Ubuntu uses sudo command to allow a normal user administrative privileges. Thus the traditional UNIX root account is disabled (i.e. it is not possible to log in as root). All the graphical configuration utilities use sudo by default. Thus when Synaptic or something similar asks you for a password, it is asking for your user password, not the root password. The first user created is part of the admin group, which can use sudo. Any users created
[09:55] <ubotu> is recommended that all users of Ubuntu use sudo, as it provides clear benefits to security. Notes The password is stored by default for 15 minutes. After that time, you will need to enter your password again. To run the graphical configuration utilities with sudo, simply launch the ap... See the whole entry at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[09:55] <nalioth> MagicFab: unfortunately not, i keep the wiki index page open for quick reference
[09:55] <Stormx2> Like that ;-)
[09:55] <nalioth> Stormx2: please dont do that again.
[09:55] <Stormx2> nalioth: do what?
[09:55] <trappist> that's a pretty dangerous bot feature imho
[09:55] <MagicFab> Stormx2: yeah, but just the first link - otherwise it's too much
[09:56] <Stormx2> MagicFab: Yeah maybe they shoult intergrate that
[09:56] <Stormx2> yeah someone could make a page saying "/quit"
[09:56] <MagicFab> nalioth: me too, but it's too long and I'm guessing we're taking up resources by doing that
[09:56] <Stormx2> nalioth: ok sowi :(
[09:57] <Stormx2> Out of interest, what is +q?
[09:57] <nalioth> MagicFab: /msg ubotu msg the bot
[09:58] <NoUse> screen -r
[09:58] <MagicFab> nalioth: I know how to get entries from ubotu - was wishing for a "return 1st result from wiki" thingy
[09:58] <NoUse> sorry guys, wrong window
[09:59] <nalioth> Stormx2: +q is 'quiet' as in 'can't send to channel'
[10:01] <jcole> i want to change one simple parameter in a kernel .config asnd recompile... can i just "apt-src build linux-source-2.6.12" with a parameter to a config file??
[10:02] <d03boy> i cant seem to find the livecds on ubuntu's site... am I missing something?
[10:02] <d03boy> oh im silly
[10:03] <varsendagger> i just reinstalled my system and i have my home anyway sound isn't working for my old user --- the one that i have the home directory fordirectory on a seperate partition
[10:03] <Mabus06> blootbots can be configured to take info from a wiki?
[10:04] <d03boy> hm.. isnt there a small livecd so I can just install grub? I dont need the whole thing :\
[10:04] <nalioth> ubotu: tell d03boy about recover
[10:04] <d03boy> I dont have any CDs at all...
[10:04] <varsendagger> i've added the "old" user to most of th groups including audio
[10:04] <Amaranth> jcole: get the source package for the kernel and build the package
[10:04] <d03boy> My school installed using a Ghost image of some sort
[10:04] <PokerFacePenguin> speaking of scripts....say i want to pipe output to the pastebin script from inside an irc channel, is there a way to do that or do i have to write my own script with more ARGV
[10:05] <jcole> Amaranth: i want to autmoate it
[10:05] <PokerFacePenguin> for instance, call a command and pass a parameter to it and pipe to pastebin script
[10:05] <d03boy> downloading 600mb to install grub seems kind of ... well... reallllly stupid to me
[10:06] <mmina> Hello, I am wondering if someone can help me with installing a novell linux client to UBUNTU version 5.10?
[10:06] <mmina> client was written for OPEN SUSE linux.
[10:06] <mmina> and in RPM format.
[10:07] <NoUse> mmina this program isn't available publicly?
[10:07] <MagicFab> d03boy: check debian.org 's ISOs, there are a lot of variants
[10:08] <d03boy> I can just use a debian cd? ok, already got one
[10:08] <MagicFab> d03boy: some of them very small, some floppy/usb based to install
[10:08] <mostrodibiscotti> I have Ubuntu 5.10, and I have a printer on my network tat has a built in print server with a static IP.  From a windows xp machine, I connect to it either by the share name on a server, or I can just create an LPR port to the printer's ip address.  In ubuntu can I do that?  Can I just conecct through an LPR or TCP port so as to avoid SAMBA?
[10:08] <MagicFab> d03boy: remember U is Debian-based
[10:08] <purplefeltangel> how do you edit your filters on Evolution?
[10:08] <jcole> Amaranth: just did a man on make-kpkg... that's perfect
[10:09] <MagicFab> mostrodibiscotti: sure, port 9100
[10:09] <d03boy> well, assumptions lead to mistakes
[10:09] <MagicFab> mostrodibiscotti: if it's through an Apple Airport, try port 9101
[10:09] <nalioth> d03boy: just dont use any debian programs from the cd
[10:09] <MagicFab> mostrodibiscotti: if using the Printer setup admin tool in Ubuntu, specify it's a "JetDirect" printer
[10:10] <d03boy> should all these deb CDs allow me to reinstall grub?
[10:10] <d03boy> if they will, i'd just like teh smallest one
[10:10] <PokerFacePenguin> if you already have a knoppix cd, wont that take care of it?
[10:10] <MagicFab> d03boy: carefully check Debian.org' docs about this if using their CDs
[10:11] <d03boy> what am I checking for?
[10:11] <mostrodibiscotti> ok
[10:11] <mostrodibiscotti> Magicfab: thank you
[10:11] <MagicFab> d03boy: I may have missed your original question - wanted to reinstall grub after installing WinXP and losing it ?
[10:11] <d03boy> yep
[10:12] <MagicFab> AFAIK, *any * live CD based on Debian should do it - you did check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows , eh ?
[10:12] <MagicFab> PokerFacePenguin: according to the wiki, yes
[10:13] <d03boy> well I've read the first few lines so far... i'll read more
[10:13] <Red-Sox_homework> how do you change the clock from 24 hr to 12 hr in kde
[10:13] <bonee> what was that program again
[10:13] <PokerFacePenguin> MagicFab: I thought so...most of us probably have a knoppix cd lying around :)
[10:13] <varsendagger> Red-Sox_homework, were we talking on satuday?
[10:15] <MagicFab> Red-Sox_homework:  KDE Control Center >  System Administration >  Date & Time ?
[10:15] <Stormx2> eek

[10:16] <La_PaRCa> hey kids
[10:16] <Stormx2> pleeease?
[10:16] <d03boy> so what is this wiki's definition of a LiveCD anyhow? Does a debian minimal CD count? this is where I get confused..
[10:16] <Stormx2> ^.^
[10:16] <MagicFab> Stormx2: Somewhere in the admin menu, you should have a "Default Apps" item
[10:16] <Stormx2> OK Cheers
[10:17] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, yes, yes
[10:17] <nalioth> Stormx2: system > preferences > prefferrd apps
[10:17] <Stormx2> Just saw :)
[10:17] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, can you continue helping?

[10:23] <philosophia> hi
[10:24] <mbs> what is the difference between ; and && when executing a string of commands?
[10:24] <crimsun> && requires an exit status of 0 (successfully)
[10:24] <MagicFab> philosophia: hey - ask away
[10:24] <crimsun> anything other than success terminates it
[10:24] <mbs> crimsun, ah, that's what i guessed :) thanks
[10:25] <philosophia> i accidentally deleted /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/

[10:29] <Stormx2> Flying-Penguin: Mount it
[10:29] <Seveas> nico8481, don't mix ubuntu and debian
[10:30] <Seveas> or hoary and breezy
[10:30] <Seveas> or whatever crap you pulled off to get libc6 complaints :)
[10:30] <maatttt> can anyone tell me what version of rrdtool is available for Breezy Server ?
[10:30] <nico8481> Seveas, i don't think i'm doing that :)
[10:30] <Seveas> nico8481, you did something crazy
[10:31] <Seveas> put your sources.list on the pastebin so we can have a look

[10:37] <cyphase> it's listed in the wiki as working out of the box with breezy
[10:37] <Seveas> nico8481, the *only* good docs are help.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com

[10:39] <Seveas> varsendagger, then it's probably just a group thing
[10:39] <Seveas> are both users in the audio group?

[10:40] <nico8481> Seveas, !tell didn't seem to work... :p
[10:40] <SbCl3> epl: i already had it there
[10:40] <Seveas> !tell nico8481  about easysource
[10:40] <varsendagger> yes, i'v added the second user to everythign the working user has
[10:40] <varsendagger> or rather is a member of
[10:41] <SbCl3> should i add myself to the hal group too?
[10:41] <epl> SbCl3: ok, then it "should" work. Check the permissions of /usr/bin/cdrecord and your cdrw/dvd-burner device
[10:41] <SbCl3> what should the permissions of cdrecord be?
[10:41] <Disablez> er... I know where i have it, /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 ... just programs dont want to, and i tried making ln -s to /lib /usr/lib /lib32 /usr/lib32 ... with both names, libGL.so and libGL.so.1, still the same.

[10:42] <ogami1972> hi all! I am looking for a how-to for installing a new soundcard
[10:42] <ogami1972> any ideas?
[10:42] <MFen> anyone know how to make clients downloading via approx or apt-proxy validate gpg sigs?
[10:42] <Seveas> ogami1972, 1) open case 2) remove old card 3) insert new card 4) close case
[10:42] <kemik> google? ;)
[10:42] <MFen> i get BADSIG blahblahkey on apt-get update through the proxy now
[10:42] <MFen> this is very recent, a few weeks old at most
[10:43] <ogami1972> that easy?- I'm switching from an Audigy to a Delta44...
[10:43] <nico8481> Seveas, thx
[10:43] <Seveas> if there are delta44 drivers for linux: yes
[10:43] <epl> SbCl3: mine is owned by group cdrom, user root. and with permissions 4754
[10:43] <ogami1972> thx seveas
[10:43] <MFen> failing that, does anyone know how to disable the gpg checking?
[10:44] <MFen> security is great and all, but my sh** needs to work :P
[10:46] <nico8481> Seveas, uh now i get BADSIG and NO_PUBKEY errors from GPG when doing an apt-get update :(
[10:47] <Seveas> nico8481, then add the pubkey...
[10:47] <Seveas> the error mentions a keyid
[10:47] <Seveas> gpg --recv-keys that_keyid
[10:47] <Seveas> gpg --export --armor that_keyid | sudo apt-key add -
[10:48] <nico8481> oh no need to know where to fetch it... cool
[10:48] <nico8481> where to fetch it from
[10:49] <Seveas> gpg will fetch it
[10:49] <Seveas> if not:
[10:49] <nico8481> ok done
[10:49] <slew> anyone here installed kde on ubuntu?
[10:49] <Seveas> ah nice, then apt-get update :)
[10:49] <Seveas> slew, tons of people...

[10:49] <Seveas> slew, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:49] <nico8481> ah, still complains about keys :(
[10:50] <slew> Seveas, im looking for the 'look n feel' part of kde, i cant find it
[10:50] <slew> Seveas, i did apt-get install kde
[10:50] <trappist> !tell nico8481 about gpgerr
[10:50] <nico8481> cipherphunk and hoary-updates
[10:50] <Seveas> superkaramba?
[10:50] <Seveas> slew, grab the kubuntu-desktop
[10:50] <kemik> Seveas: happen to have some good info on laptops that work well with Ubuntu ? and also dual-displays or even 3, is that even possible? (2 monitors and tv-out, do ati/nvidia support it?)
[10:50] <Seveas> nico8481, errors -> pastebin
[10:51] <slew> Seveas, i figured just the kde would be good enough, wanted to see if it would do the transparent windows.
[10:51] <Seveas> kemik, HP
[10:51] <Seveas> If in doubt, buy an HP laptop
[10:51] <nico8481> thx trappist
[10:51] <trappist> kemik: my inspiron 600m works beautifully.  with dual monitors.
[10:51] <Seveas> IBMs work good too
[10:51] <Seveas> but HPs are nicer
[10:51] <slew> is there a setup program for kde?
[10:51] <kemik> trappist: cool, was looking at a dell today actually
[10:51] <nico8481> Seveas, only 1 error left: ftp://cipherfunk.org hoary Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available
[10:51] <Seveas> dell is crap :)
[10:51] <kemik> but i'm thinking Acer is the cheapest (most inline with my budget)
[10:51] <trappist> kemik: everything but sensors worked out of the box.  wifi and everything.
[10:52] <kemik> Seveas; mmh, i'd like one of those slick Sony Vaio's ....
[10:52] <Seveas> sony vaio isn't bad
[10:52] <kemik> trappist: sensors? you mean temp-sensors on mobo etc?
[10:52] <trappist> kemik: I had a sony vaio.  took it back to the store.
[10:52] <trappist> kemik: yes
[10:52] <kemik> Seveas: but they aint chep, the 11" small sleek sexy 1.25kg stuff ...
[10:53] <kemik> im thinking i'll go with the dell inspiron (even tho i hate it that they ship with MS... )
[10:53] <Seveas> kemik, :)
[10:54] <kemik> trappist: got teh intel gfx or ATI radeon ?
[10:54] <trappist> kemik: radeon
[10:54] <kemik> and also, do the TV-out work at the same time as you dual-out ?
[10:54] <kemik> i mean 3 displays, can ubuntu handle it ?
[10:54] <nico8481> any idea?
[10:54] <trappist> never touched tv-out
[10:54] <pinkisntwell> anyone here has any experience with adsl router speedtouch 530 on ubuntu?
[10:54] <kemik> awh
[10:57] <Stormx2> eek, where is my sources.list again?
[10:57] <trappist> /etc/apt
[10:57] <kemik> ./etc/apt/sourcest.list
[10:57] <kemik> -t
[10:57] <Stormx2> ok
[10:57] <Stormx2> cheers
[10:58] <kemik> locate sources.list
[10:58] <kemik> and updatedb
[10:58] <kemik> great shit
[10:58] <slew> so, how would i uninstall kde and all the stuff it installed thru apt-get?
[10:58] <nico8481> Seveas, http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4840
[11:00] <trappist> nico8481: you'd have to uninstall all of kubuntu-desktop's dependencies, which you probably don't want to do
[11:00] <trappist> or uninstall packages one at a time
[11:00] <Stormx2> slew: yeah thats really tricky
[11:01] <trappist> ack.  that was for slew.
[11:01] <shadeofgrey> hello all!
[11:01] <slew> well i didnt install kubuntu desktop, just kde
[11:01] <lemonsforbreakfa> I have tried to install mp3 support as detailed in RestrictedFormats, but the repository URLs are bad
[11:01] <lemonsforbreakfa> where do I get mp3 support?
[11:01] <nico8481> trappist, hu?! what does it have to do with kunbuntu ? :-/
[11:01] <Stormx2> !easysource
[11:01] <ubotu> it has been said that easysource is For an easy to use custom sources.list configurator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[11:01] <shadeofgrey> to fix my prevbious problems i did a complete reinstall of ubuntu..  now i need a decent sources.list file again
[11:01] <nico8481> ah :)
[11:01] <Stormx2> ^^ Use that
[11:01] <trappist> nico8481: it doesn't.  I meant to say that to slew.
[11:01] <nico8481> trappist, ok just got it :p
[11:01] <Seveas> slew, debfoster is your friend
[11:01] <shadeofgrey> specxifically i need mplayer, w32codecs, and libdvdcss
[11:01] <slew> =]  sorry
[11:02] <slew> debfoster? i think i used to date her..
[11:02] <Stormx2> shadeofgrey: Yep, go up there, and make sure you add seveas's repo
[11:02] <Stormx2> slew: roffle
[11:02] <Seveas> nico8481, gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv 33BAC1B3
[11:02] <shadeofgrey> doesnt Seveas have to invite me first?
[11:02] <Seveas> gpg --export --armor 33BAC1B3 | sudo apt-key add -
[11:03] <Seveas> shadeofgrey, only for the w32
[11:03] <slew> Stormx2, so just debfoster kde?
[11:03] <shadeofgrey> Sev:  would you.. please be so kind?
[11:03] <Seveas> on my way already ;)
[11:03] <kemik> it's a bit sad that the dells dont have DVI-output
[11:04] <kemik> old crap analog
[11:04] <Stormx2> aaaaccck! fluu!
[11:04] <nico8481> Seveas, what does --export do?
[11:05] <Seveas> nico8481, gpg puts the key in stdout where apt-key add picks it up
[11:05] <Stormx2> eeeek
[11:05] <bimberi> slew: uninstalling libqt3-mt will remove most of what installs with kde
[11:05] <Stormx2> I mounted a fat32 drive (using command-line "mount") and i have no write support?
[11:05] <headsroll> can somone help me with networking
[11:06] <trappist> Stormx2: mount with uid=1000 (assuming your are uid 1000)
[11:06] <Stormx2> trappist: k
[11:06] <Seveas> Stormx2, -o umask=0000
[11:06] <Seveas> that works too :)
[11:06] <nico8481> Seveas, so what's the difference between "gpg --recv", "gpg --recv-keys", and "apt-key add"?
[11:06] <headsroll> where are the network settings configured
[11:06] <Seveas> --recv and --recv-keys are the same
[11:06] <nico8481> Seveas, if i got it right they all do the same (?)
[11:07] <Seveas> apt-key manages the apt keyring, gpg your personal
[11:07] <goetz-b> hi all - i'm trying to use wpasupplicant on ubuntu 5.10 (as described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WPAHowto), however i'm getting "ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA] : Operation not supported", is this the right place to get some hints or can you point me somewhere else?
[11:07] <slew> bimberi, also remove libqt3-mt dev?
[11:07] <nico8481> Seveas, and i guess the key has to be in both?
[11:07] <headsroll> i mean when i change network settings, what config file is effected?
[11:07] <Seveas> nico8481, no only in the latter, but that one can't download directly
[11:07] <lemonsforbreakfa> when I try to do sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[11:08] <Stormx2> oh boobies
[11:08] <lemonsforbreakfa> I get way too many entries that look like W: Couldn't stat source package list http://us.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/multiverse Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[11:08] <Stormx2> I just realised why my script keeps failing >.>
[11:08] <slew> Stormx2, niiice
[11:08] <headsroll> im looking at /etc/network/interfaces but dont see much other than lo
[11:08] <Seveas> lemonsforbreakfa, sudo apt-get update
[11:08] <bimberi> slew: i don't see that package
[11:08] <pinkisntwell> anyone here has any experience with adsl router speedtouch 530 on ubuntu?
[11:09] <lemonsforbreakfa> ty
[11:09] <bimberi> slew: oh, hang on, my repos are a bit fubar atm :/
[11:09] <slew> bimberi, i did a search for libqt3-mt in synaptic and the dev gets automatically removed if you remove just the -mt
[11:09] <shadeofgrey> damnit i need a good sources.list file
[11:09] <Absenth> what's the command to ask the bot a question?
[11:09] <shadeofgrey> iwish they werent so hard to find
[11:09] <nico8481> Seveas, ok i think i got it.. thx
[11:09] <slew> bimberi, its cool, thanks for your help =]  =]
[11:09] <Stormx2> this is not good >.>
[11:09] <Seveas> ubotu, tell Absenth about yourself
[11:09] <fevoldj2> Is there an AMD64 version of w32 codecs?
[11:10] <trappist> fevoldj2: no
[11:10] <Seveas> W***32***codecs...
[11:10] <headsroll> hello? is this thing on?
[11:10] <Seveas> headsroll, no
[11:10] <slew> headsroll, what thing?
[11:10] <Stormx2> headsroll: no
[11:10] <headsroll> he
[11:10] <fevoldj2> Is there an alternative?
[11:10] <Seveas> no
[11:10] <headsroll> i have a simple question
[11:10] <bimberi> slew: i can't see you needing libqt3-mt-dev anyway
[11:10] <shadeofgrey> Seveas:  id happily bribe you for a good sources.list file
[11:10] <Stormx2> headsroll: which requires a simple answer?
[11:11] <slew> bimberi, neither can i, would have taken it out regardless.
[11:11] <headsroll> what networking config files are effected when i change network settings
[11:11] <shadeofgrey> i have deep pockets and im desperate
[11:11] <bimberi> slew: :)
[11:11] <slew> thanks again
[11:11] <bimberi> slew: np :)
[11:11] <headsroll> im looking at interfaces, but dont see much than lo
[11:12] <Comrade_Vladimir> wowo so not worth the effort
[11:12] <headsroll> network settings says ra0 wireless is active
[11:13] <headsroll> to what file is that being written?
[11:13] <Comrade_Vladimir> ok so does ubuntu automatically recognize usb flash drives?
[11:13] <shadeofgrey> loo sdomebody help me find a good sources.list file and ill NEVER ask again.
[11:13] <shadeofgrey> ...till dapper comes out
[11:13] <Comrade_Vladimir> cant wait
[11:13] <Stormx2> !tell shadeofgrey about easysource
[11:13] <shadeofgrey> C'MON, guys, have some sympathy
[11:14] <bimberi> !sources
[11:14] <ubotu> A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969 (Hoary) or http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 (Breezy) - Create your own sources.list at http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[11:14] <Stormx2> shadeofgrey: Check your messages from ubotu
[11:14] <bimberi> shadeofgrey: ^^^^
[11:14] <Comrade_Vladimir> why wont linux recognize my flash
[11:14] <Stormx2> http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic <-- That is what you need
[11:14] <Stormx2> Comrade_Vladimir: Macromedia flash?
[11:14] <bimberi> Comrade_Vladimir: yes, when i plug mine a nautilus window pops up
[11:14] <headsroll> !networking
[11:14] <ubotu> headsroll: parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about
[11:14] <Comrade_Vladimir> stormx2 no flash drive
[11:15] <skapple> can someone tell me how to properly enter the refresh rates for a flatscreen monitor into my xorg.conf file?
[11:15] <Comrade_Vladimir> bimberi mine doesnt
[11:15] <bimberi> Comrade_Vladimir: i just knew you were going to say that :/
[11:15] <Comrade_Vladimir> hehe
[11:15] <LjL> skapple: try "man gtf"
[11:15] <Stormx2> !xorg
[11:15] <ubotu> from memory, xorg is to reconfigure your xserver, open a terminal and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[11:15] <Stormx2> ^^^ skapple#
[11:15] <Comrade_Vladimir> bimberi it did like a week ago
[11:16] <Absenth> ok, if I wanted to ask ubotu how to add support for mp3 I would ask it ?
[11:16] <trappist> Absenth: /msg ubotu mp3
[11:16] <xxvii> anyone know a good and reliable media player for listenting to internet radio?
[11:16] <trappist> xxvii: xmms
[11:17] <xxvii> trappist, thanks, i'll try it
[11:17] <Absenth> danke.
[11:17] <bimberi> Comrade_Vladimir: try "tail -f /var/log/messages" in a terminal and see if anything is output when you plug it in
[11:18] <shadeofgrey> okay now all i need is w32codecs
[11:18] <Toran> what is the name of the xorg driver supplied by the "nvidia-glx" package?
[11:18] <bimberi> shadeofgrey: http://giannaros.org/public/breezydebs/
[11:18] <trappist> Toran: nvidia
[11:18] <Comrade_Vladimir> bimberi no nothin it worked on windows this morning
[11:18] <lemonsforbreakfa> does anyone know about making sound work in VLC?
[11:18] <Toran> trappist: thanks
[11:19] <LjL> how can i (automatically) count how many files are in a directory?
[11:20] <trappist> LjL: find dirname/ -type f | wc -l
[11:20] <LjL> trappist: no, sorry, i didn't specify it but i meant only in that directory, not counting subdirectories
[11:20] <goetz-b> should WPA work out of the box with the current ubuntu release?
[11:20] <trappist> LjL: ls | wc -l
[11:21] <bimberi> LjL: ls -1 | grep wc
[11:21] <trappist> bimberi: grep?
[11:21] <bimberi> LjL: (won't count hidden files)
[11:21] <bimberi> trappist: hehe, oops
[11:21] <bimberi> LjL: ls -1 | wc -l
[11:21] <bimberi> :)
[11:21] <LjL> bimberi: hmm it appears that a file actually *can* have a newline in its name... but... besides that, it should work ;)
[11:21] <trappist> bimberi: ls automatically does -1 when you pipe it
[11:21] <bimberi> trappist: aha, good to know, thanks
[11:22] <Comrade_Vladimir> bimberi is it my flash
[11:22] <Toran> ok guys, I have a quick question. When I move windows around (I'm in fluxbox) it takes a LOT of CPU to move it around. Of course, I have show window contents while moving enabled, but I can't understand why it maxes my CPU to move it. I have an AMD 64 3400+, 2gigs of memory, and a GeForce MX 440.
[11:22] <dooglus> I just tried resizing the NTFS partition on this PC using the breezy install disk.  It told me "The resize operation did not create enough free space for the installation.  Resizing may have failed. You will have to set up partitions manually."  Any suggestions?
[11:22] <shadeofgrey> toran:  its windows bro...  its ALWAYS slow
[11:23] <trappist> dooglus: boot to windows and defrag first
[11:23] <shadeofgrey> toran:  im CRIPPLED and i move faster thgan windows
[11:23] <bimberi> Comrade_Vladimir: i doubt it - it it's working in windows.  Possibly hotplug, but i don't really know sorry
[11:23] <Toran> shadeofgrey: err... I'm not talking about windows the OS
[11:23] <Toran> shadeofgrey: when I move a WINDOW around
[11:23] <skapple> can someone tell me why i am unable to change my screen resolution in ubuntu?
[11:23] <Toran> as in, a terminal
[11:23] <Toran> or something
[11:23] <shadeofgrey> oh
[11:23] <trappist> Toran: do you have the composite extension enabled?
[11:23] <Toran> it doesn't matter
[11:23] <shadeofgrey> you mean in ubuntu?
[11:23] <LjL> how's it that "file" knows about .bzip2 archives but not about .gz archives?! it's weird
[11:23] <Toran> trappist: err, prolly not. How do I do that?
[11:23] <shadeofgrey> what the hell is he asking me?
[11:23] <shadeofgrey> im -so- condfused
[11:23] <dooglus> trappist: will that help?  nalioth told me defragging from Windows wasn't necessary.
[11:23] <Toran> shadeofgrey: don't worry about it
[11:24] <shadeofgrey> oh...  i took purgocet
[11:24] <shadeofgrey> my bad
[11:24] <trappist> LjL: file knows about gz
[11:24] <Toran> shadeofgrey: if you don't understand the question, you prolly won't know the answer ;-)
[11:24] <nalioth> dooglus: you can visit the page of ntfsprogs and read for yourself
[11:24] <trappist> dooglus: files will be spread out across the filesystem if it's fragmented, and ntfsresize won'd defrag for you
[11:24] <dooglus> !ntfsprog
[11:24] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, dooglus
[11:24] <dooglus> !ntfsprogs
[11:24] <ubotu> dooglus: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[11:24] <Toran> so. . . how do I enable composite?
[11:24] <LjL> trappist: right, it does - i had only tried it with the "--mime" option, which gives application/octet-stream
[11:25] <trappist> Toran: you don't want to do that.  I was thinking having it enabled could cause your problem.
[11:25] <bimberi> skapple: have you been here? - http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:25] <LjL> trappist: so there's no gzip mime type?
[11:25] <dooglus> nalioth: which page do you mean?  http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ ?
[11:25] <Toran> trappist: I'll check the file and make sure it isn't enabled
[11:25] <Jestre> Can this Rhythmbox play OGG streams?
[11:25] <trappist> LjL: you can make any mime type you want
[11:25] <LjL> trappist: well but they are standardized i assume?
[11:26] <Comrade_Vladimir> any thing i can do about a dysfunctional flash drive it doesnt recognize it?
[11:26] <trappist> LjL: but, don't do it.  instead read the comments at the top of /etc/mime.types
[11:26] <Juhaz> LjL, application/x-gzip. and file should know it just fine
[11:26] <varsendagger> hey yeah
[11:27] <lemonsforbreakfa> how to make Totem work with ogm files?
[11:27] <Toran> lemonsforbreakfa: apt-get install win32codecs
[11:27] <LjL> Juhaz: yet it doesn't, here. and neither gzip or bzip2 are in /etc/mime.types, but yet bzip2 works with file, while gzip doesn't
[11:28] <Toran> make sure you have multiverse and universe repositories enabled
[11:28] <LjL> trappist: right. then the question becomes the opposite: why is bzip2 recognized? =)
[11:28] <Comrade_Vladimir> bimberi
[11:28] <Comrade_Vladimir> ?
[11:28] <Anon|Away> Is there a WMA plugin for totem?
[11:28] <lemonsforbreakfa> I have w32codecs, it works with my AVI files
[11:29] <Seveas> Anon|Away, totem-gstreamer: gstreamer0.8-pitfdll + w32codecs
[11:29] <Anon|Away> Lemons: Can I apt-get it?
[11:30] <Seveas> totem-xone: w32codecs
[11:30] <bimberi> Comrade_Vladimir: sorry dude, i don't know
[11:30] <Comrade_Vladimir> iw worked yesterday
[11:30] <Comrade_Vladimir> is there a driver or something
[11:31] <LjL> Juhaz, trappist: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4841
[11:32] <Anon|Away> Seveas: Can I get the w32codecs by apt? No responses in that area from apt-cache search
[11:32] <Juhaz> LjL, file doesn't use /etc/mime.types
[11:32] <nalioth> dooglus: i'm not sure the URL of the ntfsprogs program developers
[11:32] <LjL> Juhaz: oh
[11:33] <Juhaz> LjL, take a look at files in /usr/share/misc/file
[11:33] <_jason> ubotu, tell Anon|Away about w32codecs
[11:33] <Seveas> Anon|Away, grab a sources.list line for cipherfunk from www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[11:33] <LjL> Juhaz: ok. well, it appears that gzip is commented out there, for some reason
[11:35] <Pugh> having trouble with mplayer crashes on every other file I try and play,mozilla plugin works only have the time and vlc only plays back audio on 90% of the files I try and watch, more importantly I'd like to have mplayer working
[11:35] <Comrade_Vladimir> bimberiso its not my computer cause my usb primnter works
[11:35] <LjL> Juhaz: might have to do with some kind of conflict with other filetypes, as there are other (commented out) entries referencing "gzip", specifically entries about "Freeze"
[11:35] <Pugh> *have=half
[11:35] <amonroy> what is the equivalent of /etc/redhat-release in ubuntu?
[11:36] <NoUse> amonroy lsb_release -a
[11:36] <Pugh> is the mplayer package for ubuntu just screwed up
[11:36] <amonroy> thanks NoUse
[11:36] <Pugh> most of the files I have trouble with are streaming wmv's
[11:37] <dooglus> nalioth: I found a link to the "ntfs resize faq", but the link doesn't work.  I guess I'll just try using the Windows defrag and see if that helps...
[11:37] <NoUse> Pugh have you installed w32codecs?
[11:37] <Pugh> think so
[11:37] <Anon|Away> What's the directory of sources.list again?
[11:37] <Pugh> let me check
[11:37] <dooglus> is that best done from safe mode?
[11:37] <tritium> AnonymousHive: /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:37] <nalioth> dooglus: what problem are you having?
[11:37] <dooglus> I just tried resizing the NTFS partition on this PC using the breezy install disk.  It told me "The resize operation did not create enough free space for the installation.  Resizing may have failed. You will have to set up partitions manually."  Any suggestions?
[11:38] <AnonymousHive> Thanks
[11:38] <`saiko> hi all
[11:38] <Pugh> NoUse what package is it in?
[11:38] <Iconsumed> is there any way to export the keymap dvorak(se) from debian to ubuntu?
[11:38] <nico8481> any idea what's the difference between "quality" and "preset" in the following:
[11:38] <nico8481> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc quality=0 preset=1002
[11:38] <Juhaz> LjL, maybe
[11:38] <NoUse> Pugh w32codecs is the name of the package
[11:38] <nico8481> and why there's a need for both ?
[11:38] <Juhaz> LjL, although you'd think the same conflicts would prevent the string description as well...
[11:39] <Ubuntu-newbie> can anybody tell me how i can install my Mobile phone software???
[11:39] <dooglus> nalioth: that error message comes up about 5 seconds after the resize seems to start.  It's not long enough to have really had a go at resizing.  I was wondering if maybe the partition table is write-protected by the BIOS or something?
[11:39] <Comrade_Vladimir> aughh tritium u banned e
[11:39] <NoUse> Ubuntu-newbie is there a linux vesion of your phone software?
[11:39] <shadeofgrey> hey
[11:39] <Pugh> NoUse says  Package w32codecs has no installation candidate
[11:39] <NoUse> !tell Pugh about w32codecs
[11:39] <Urthy> freeNX is crazy fast
[11:39] <LjL> Juhaz: yeah, though perhaps (just a guess) the string description is meant to be read by humans, while the mime description is assumed to be often read by a program, and you don't want to feed a program bad data
[11:39] <`saiko> i recently upgraded to breezy and have the following problem in screen session: "failed to write /ar/run/utemp: no such process"
[11:39] <shadeofgrey> whats i t mean when totem complains about not being able to read a Dvd's title info?
[11:39] <shadeofgrey> i swear that totem is definately a female
[11:40] <shadeofgrey> a female that needs medication and tampons
[11:40] <nalioth> dooglus: that is not possible, otw windows wouldn't have been able to go on
[11:40] <shadeofgrey> constantly
[11:40] <`saiko> lool
[11:40] <nalioth> dooglus: do you have a liveCD?
[11:40] <Urthy> but its sounds so close to scrot*m
[11:40] <dooglus> nalioth: I do.
[11:40] <NoUse> shadeofgrey and people wonder why women aren't into technology
[11:40] <amonroy> so where do I get the best list of repositories for breezy badger?   BIOS could have set set up to lock partition table after Windows was installed.
[11:41] <NoUse> !tell Toran about ubuntuguide
[11:41] <shadeofgrey> okay, granted, im cripple, and rode the short bus...  but still - gettying totem to play DVD's cant possibly be beyond my comprehension
[11:41] <rynofly> hello all
[11:41] <Ubuntu-newbie> NoUse, nop
[11:41] <Urthy> hi fly
[11:41] <Red-Sox_homework> how do you fix this... http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4842 ?
[11:41] <Toran> NoUse: err... I'm in fluxbox, where do you get to that help thing?
[11:41] <Toran> like, is there a command line command to run?
[11:41] <NoUse> Ubuntu-newbie then you should google around for your phone and it's compatiblity for existing linux mobile phone software
[11:41] <Urthy> can I run fb on ubuntu?
[11:41] <Toran> fb?
[11:42] <Urthy> fluxbox
[11:42] <Ubuntu-newbie> NoUse, cant i use Wine?
[11:42] <Toran> heck yeah
[11:42] <NoUse> Toran http://help.ubuntu.com
[11:42] <Urthy> sure why not right?
[11:42] <dooglus> nalioth: qtparted uses ntfsprogs, same as the install cd does - is that right?
[11:42] <Urthy> okie dokey
[11:42] <NoUse> Ubuntu-newbie I doubt it would work but you can try
[11:42] <NoUse> Ubuntu-newbie apt-get install wine
[11:42] <nalioth> dooglus: correct
[11:42] <Urthy> 'apt-get install fluxbox?
[11:42] <Urthy> how do I list all the apt-gets?
[11:42] <dooglus> nalioth: would you expect qtparted to behave differently then?
[11:42] <Urthy> I didn't see it in the man page
[11:42] <Urthy> Toran....thoughts?
[11:43] <NoUse> Urthy you can search via 'apt-cache serach <keyword>'
[11:43] <rynofly> im having an issue with installing ubuntu, i just got my cd in the mail(yay) and i pop in my cd select my keyboard bla bla bla and i get an error about not being about to copy a file from cd
[11:43] <Comrade_Vladimir> how do i redo the w32 codecs if i accidentally removed them
[11:43] <Toran> Urthy: need universe and multiverse repos enabled
[11:43] <Urthy> ah cool NoUse
[11:43] <NoUse> rynofly is the CD scratched?
[11:43] <Toran> s/serach/search
[11:43] <rynofly> no
[11:43] <Urthy> which file do I edit to get that?
[11:43] <The_Vox> Urthy: stop suffering, do "sudo aptitude" and you can see the whole list there, install and uninstall from there and so on and so forth
[11:43] <Toran> /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:43] <dooglus> rynofly: I had that.  I switched to a different CD and it worked.  (Luckily I ordered 5)
[11:43] <nalioth> dooglus: yes, because it's a whole different operating system (from a livecd point of view)
[11:43] <_jason> Comrade_Vladimir, the same way you put them there to start with?  I'll tell ubotu to send you a link
[11:43] <rynofly> i have a preexisting windows install on my primary hdd

[11:45] <Seveas> slide, installer

[11:45] <raphink> I've got a pb with sudo i can't explain it ...
[11:45] <_jason> Comrade_Vladimir, I believe it doesn't matter since they are windows dll's but here; http://giannaros.org/public/hoarydebs/
[11:45] <rynofly> hey
[11:45] <raphink>  $ sudo apt-get update

[11:45] <LjL> msg ubotu easysource
[11:45] <Comrade_Vladimir> _jason thanks ill try them
[11:45] <LjL> sorry
[11:45] <slide> k
[11:45] <Urthy> nope nalioth
[11:45] <_jason> Comrade_Vladimir, np
[11:45] <Toran> don't diss ubuntuguide, it has helped me with a lot of stuff
[11:45] <Toran> lol
[11:46] <Urthy> mind helping get rid of urthmover?
[11:46] <LjL> Seveas: ;-)
[11:46] <Seveas> Toran, it's pure crap. point.
[11:46] <Toran> heh
[11:46] <Toran> and the official list doesn't even have universe/multiverse enabled by default
[11:46] <Toran> which sucks a big fat one
[11:46] <Seveas> Toran, for a good reason...
[11:46] <Toran> which is..?
[11:46] <NoUse> Toran can't do it legally
[11:46] <Toran> heh
[11:46] <Siph0n> so ne ideas how to fix my computer, if when rebooting it says it cant unmount the filesystem cause its busy, and when it boots up it says it cant mount the filesystem also.. but after its booted up it seems fine
[11:47] <`saiko> can anyone help?
[11:47] <`saiko> i recently upgraded to breezy and have the following problem in screen session: "failed to write /ar/run/utemp: no such process"
[11:47] <rynofly> is the problem im having because i have a windows install on my master drive?
[11:47] <`saiko> did someone had sth similar ?
[11:47] <LjL> Seveas: although, couldn't it be good to have Universe enabled as an option during installation? it would tell the user why it isn't enabled, and ask her if she wants it enabled
[11:47] <tritium> using "ne" is such laziness...how hard is it to type one extra letter and spell out "any"?
[11:47] <Seveas> LjL, the applications -> add applications thing enables them if you select things from it
[11:47] <Seveas> that's more than enough
[11:48] <nalioth> Urthy: /msg nickserv help ghost
[11:48] <Urthy> ok I'll do that
[11:48] <LjL> Seveas: i see, i don't have gnome and i don't quite remember what Add Applications can do
[11:48] <Urthy> thanks mandinga
[11:48] <Urthy> GHOST Urthmover massive
[11:48] <Urthy> LOL
[11:48] <Urthy> nice
[11:48] <Urthy> sry
[11:49] <TCTCH> IRC: question: how can talk directly to a person (so that he sees the text in "red"?)
[11:49] <Urthmover> yeah
[11:49] <Seveas> Urthmov3r, /msg nickserv set password new_password
[11:50] <Urthmover> I'm me again
[11:50] <LjL> TCTCH: by typing her nickname
[11:50] <rynofly> when i put in my cd after setting up my keyboard and stuff it says i can't copy file from cd. i have a windows install on my primary hd and i want to install ubuntu on my slave drive an unformatted 12 gig drive. is ubuntu trying to install to my master drive, cuz i don't see where i can pick where i ant to install?
[11:50] <Urthmover> yeah Seveas
[11:50] <Urthmover> lol
[11:50] <LjL> TCTCH: and it's a function of the specific IRC client anyway, not something you do
[11:50] <Urthmover> later jerry
[11:50] <TCTCH> LjL: ahh...ok
[11:51] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, can you help me now?
[11:51] <Urthmover> ok so linux kinda just sucked from an installation standpoint till ubuntu
[11:51] <Urthmover> anyone in agreement?
[11:51] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, i FINISHED MY HOMEWORK
[11:51] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, sorry for the caps
[11:51] <Urthmover> yeeee hawwww
[11:51] <rynofly> after setting up my keyboard and stuff it says it can't copy file from cd. i have a windows install on my primary hd and i want to install ubuntu on my slave drive an unformatted 12 gig drive. is ubuntu trying to install to my master drive, cuz i don't see where i can pick where i want to install?
[11:51] <Seveas> Urthmov3r, take this somewhere else
[11:52] <Seveas> this is a support channel
[11:52] <rynofly> how do i install to a slave drive?
[11:52] <Urthmover> sry man
[11:52] <Urthmover> ok
[11:52] <Comrade_Vladimir> _jason ok how do i install it now
[11:52] <LjL> rynofly: it definitely does let you pick a place to install to
[11:52] <_jason> Comrade_Vladimir, dpkg -i filename.deb
[11:52] <LjL> rynofly: at a certain point during installation, it asks if you want "automatic partitioning" (or somesuch) or not
[11:52] <bimberi> rynofly: could be a bad cd (or burnt froma bad iso)?
[11:53] <Comrade_Vladimir> andrew@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -i filename.deb
[11:53] <Comrade_Vladimir> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[11:53] <Comrade_Vladimir> andrew@ubuntu:~$
[11:53] <Siph0n> if when rebooting it says it cant unmount the filesystem cause its busy, and when it boots up it says it cant mount the filesystem also.. but after its booted up it seems fine... any ideas how to fix?
[11:53] <varsendagger> yeah bud Red-Sox_homework
[11:53] <rynofly> it right out of the packege i got like 10 cds
[11:53] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, k
[11:53] <LjL> Comrade_Vladimir: use sudo
[11:53] <ubuntu_noob> hiya
[11:53] <bimberi> rynofly: hm, ok
[11:53] <Seveas> Comrade_Vladimir, don't paste in here - especially not useless info
[11:53] <_jason> Comrade_Vladimir, don't type "filename" type the actual filename w32codecs and so on and use sudo
[11:53] <Seveas> Comrade_Vladimir, sudo dpkg -i
[11:53] <Comrade_Vladimir> oh shush
[11:53] <LjL> Siph0n: it always tells me it's busy on shutdown, and i don't think that's been an issue
[11:54] <ubuntu_noob> *smile*  i think i might've come to the right place.
[11:54] <Comrade_Vladimir> it says command not found
[11:54] <Seveas> then spell it right
[11:54] <Siph0n> LjL: k... how about booting up? when it checks for all those things and says OK or Failed?
[11:54] <LjL> Comrade_Vladimir: "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb", with "filename.deb" being the *actual* filename
[11:54] <Comrade_Vladimir> oh hehe
[11:54] <LjL> Siph0n: well, it doesn't give me any "Failed" on bootup
[11:55] <Siph0n> k ... dunno what i did
[11:55] <varsendagger> Red-Sox_homework,  did you get my message?
[11:55] <Urthmover> oh the fun is back..and by that I mean support
[11:55] <Urthmover> :-)
[11:55] <rynofly> i put the cd in, hit enter to do the default install, it sets up language, keyboard layout, scans for cd drives, the n it isays can't copy file from cd, i think its trying to write it to the master drive instead of my slave which is unformatted
[11:55] <Urthmover> <-- ./dev/ham
[11:55] <ubuntu_noob> i got a question about the package manager, if anyone's got a moment.
[11:55] <LjL> Siph0n: i don't really know, try an fsck perhaps?
[11:55] <NoUse> ubuntu_noob toss the question out, someone will answer if they can
[11:56] <LjL> rynofly: i don't think that's the likely cause
[11:56] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, oh, yes
[11:56] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, my name isnt registeres
[11:56] <varsendagger> ahh
[11:56] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, not Red-Sox_homework
[11:57] <amonroy> I did sudo apt-get install apache2 and it failed. It says "This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created."
[11:57] <Red-Sox_homework> okay
[11:57] <Red-Sox_homework> varsendagger, now whay
[11:57] <rynofly> LjL: what do you think it can be. its trying to copy stuff frrom cd, but i didn't select where i want to install yet...
[11:57] <amonroy> what does that mmean exactly? I have breezy badger
[11:58] <ubuntu_noob> NoUse: *nod*  i did a fresh install of ubuntu (downloaded just today) but one of the packages didn't seem to copy over properly from the install cd.  ubuntu-desktop is listed as 'broken' in the package manager.  when i mark that for reinstallation and apply changes it breaks on wvdial_...
[11:58] <LjL> rynofly: i agree with what's been said, i.e. that your CD is probably corrupted. i think it's just trying to copy to a RAM disk. try checksumming your CD perhaps
[11:58] <rynofly> a corrupted cd...i used shitit
[11:58] <nalioth> ubuntu_noob: open a terminal, please and type "sudo apt-get -f install"
[11:58] <rynofly> shipit*
[11:58] <NoUse> ubuntu_noob open up a terminal (Appls -> accessories -> Terminal) and run 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[11:58] <LjL> ubuntu_noob: tried a "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade"? that should get the latest packages from the 'net, and i think it could fix your problems if the packages on the CD were broken or corrupt
[11:59] <LjL> rynofly: they say you must burn the Ubuntu CD very slowly
[11:59] <nalioth> ubotu: tell rynofly about verify
[11:59] <rynofly> LjL lol what i mean is i ordered the cds from shitit
[11:59] <nalioth> rynofly: not all pressed cds are correct
[12:00] <LjL> rynofly: oh ic, pardon me :)
