[18:52] <Tom47> does ubuntu record the time it was last shutdown? where?
[18:52] <toresn> Tom47: uptime?
[18:52] <usr13> anunez48: Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change "vesa" to "i810"
[18:53] <Tom47> toresn .... i am trying to find what time i last closed ubuntu down
[18:53] <anunez48> reboot
[18:53] <arlexx> hey i cant install wow on my computer :/ can someone tell me how to do?
[18:53] <_ruben> Tom47: you can use the "last" command for that .. or perhaps that only shows when it was booted
[18:53] <usr13> anunez48:  sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:53] <usr13> anunez48:  But first, backup xorg.conf file
[18:53] <Tom47> _ruben yes i can see when i last booted it
[18:53] <usr13> anunez48: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[18:53] <toresn> Tom47: yeah, wouldn't the 'uptime' command tell you that?
[18:54] <arlexx> does anyone know hoqw to install wow in linux?
[18:54] <hot2trot> anybody know why the usb ports arn't showing on my drive list
[18:54] <Pici> arlexx:  use wine, and refer to the appdb
[18:54] <danbhfive> arlexx: use win
[18:54] <[chr0n0s]> arlexx, install wine/cedega
[18:54] <Pici> !appdb | arlexx
[18:54] <ubotu> arlexx: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org

[18:54] <artti> danbhfive, hibernate xubuntu-desktop do what?
[18:54] <Tom47> toresn .... i close down each night ...... just started it again this morning .... trying to find the time i closed down (old brain)
[18:54] <danbhfive> artti: yeah, hibernate xubuntu-desktop
[18:55] <brobostigon> xerxes1358: use gparted
[18:55] <artti> danbhfive, but i want xubuntu run instead of ubuntu.
[18:55] <sneedly> #acid-lounge HappYGoLucky
[18:55] <danbhfive> artti: exactly, you should hibernate any package you want to keep
[18:56] <_ruben> uhoh .. ubuntu just told me it cant find a valid superblock on my 1TB software raid
[18:56] <artti> danbhfive, oh, i thought that hibernate is something that removes. :)
[18:57] <Tom47> _ruben toresn ... looks like i may be able to work it out from last .... ty
[18:59] <BabyPenguin> NE1 know where I can go for gnome help on ubuntu?
[18:59] <Pici> BabyPenguin: here.
[18:59] <BabyPenguin> Great!
[18:59] <BabyPenguin> Pici: thank you.
[18:59] <artti> danbhfive, some recommends what other packages i should keep.
[18:59] <danbhfive> artti: what?
[19:00] <BabyPenguin> Pici:  I need to make the xhost + command permanent.  Any ideas?
[19:00] <artti> danbhfive, nothing.
[19:00] <matty> hi
[19:00] <toresn> what program do you use for ripping dvds?
[19:00] <GuyFromHell> I can't (and never could) get network-manager-vpnc to work but running 'sudo vpnc' works fine. can anyone either help me get network-manager-vpnc to work or help me get a script to run after connection to wireless?
[19:00] <toresn> i'm mostly interested in command line programs
[19:01] <popey> toresn: dvd:rip
[19:01] <BabyPenguin> I need to make the xhost + command permanent.  Any ideas?
[19:01] <GuyFromHell> (by 'work' i mean it says it's connected to the vpnc (it has the shiny lock thing) but i don't have internet for some unknown reason)
[19:02] <Boglizk> The part were an old panel used to be has left a black "bar" where the wallpaper i suposed to be. How do i reload the desktop without restarting X?
[19:02] <absalom> Hello, anyone have any experience in installing mythtv? I used "sudo apt-get install mythtv" to install, but when I try to run it I always end up in some database setp window.
[19:02] <toresn> popey: is that 'dvdrip' in the repositories?
[19:03] <BabyPenguin> Can NE1 help me make the xhost + command permanent?
[19:03] <matty> hello  can anybody help me? i would like to install locale iso-8859-15
[19:03] <macogw> absalom: try installing the rest of the mythtv control panel stuff
[19:03] <macogw> matty: er...
[19:03] <macogw> matty: you mean to use inside Firefox instead of using Unicode?
[19:03] <popey> toresn: yeah, but i thought it was a console app - it's a gui, sorry
[19:03] <macogw> matty: you can just change that setting in View -> Character Encoding
[19:04] <stooge> i have a partitioned 114gb out of 500gb for ubuntu (vista on larger). ubuntu 7.1 live disk will not recongise the partition i formatted for it. how can i make ubuntu install on the 114gb partition and not the windows partition? help please...
[19:04] <matty> no i mean in general
[19:04] <BabyPenguin> I'm trying to get MPlayer to work without having to issue the xhost + command each time after I reboot, any ideas?
[19:04] <macogw> matty: what? that doesnt make much sense
[19:04] <Tom47> _ruben: toresn .... last did it for me thank you
[19:05] <Boglizk> macogw: Why would chaning the locale not make sense?
[19:05] <matty> when i am editing a php file i have problems withe the german ao or ou for example
[19:05] <graft> stooge: how's the partition set up?
[19:05] <macogw> Boglizk: because it defaults to Unicode which works everywhere, while using Latin-1 only works for some computers
[19:05] <macogw> matty: HTML Entities
[19:05] <anunez48> im back
[19:05] <macogw> matty: Unicode can handle any character
[19:06] <xerxes1358> Can someone suggest a solution: ANY multimedia application I open hangs (it gets grey) What can I do ?
[19:06] <anunez48> how do i know which graphic card do i have?
[19:06] <stooge> larger drive for vista ntfs drive c: | 114gb ntfs drive f:
[19:07] <Boglizk> xerxes1358: Sounds like some problem with the sound
[19:07] <graft> stooge: um, so you ntfs formatted it?
[19:07] <TuxLuv> NE1 here good at configuring X?
[19:07] <gatestone> Why is my front microphone contantly capturing, so that if I don't set the level low it willl start a sreaming feedback?
[19:07] <EADG> anunez48: type lspci in a terminal
[19:07] <matty> the main problem is, we are 2 poeple workin on the same files, one under ubuntu with quanta+ or screem and the under windows with edit plus 2
[19:07] <gatestone> I mean mic is feeding input to my built-in speakers, constantly
[19:07] <xerxes1358> Boglizk, ok what to do then?
[19:07] <Kibbles> how do i check users/groups in terminal?
[19:07] <Boglizk> xerxes1358: No idea.
[19:07] <macogw> matty: if you want to be able to display those characters in strings, use the ones of the form À not the number ones, and itll work on every charset
[19:07] <artti> danbhfive, how i remove unneeded packages in gtkorphan?
[19:07] <stooge> yes ntfs. tried fat32 on f: drive first and didn't work so i formated to ntfs
[19:08] <gatestone> How do I disable that, without disabling the mic for good.
[19:08]  * chalcedny smiles
[19:08] <Kibbles> (i.e. see user/group assignments)
[19:08] <macogw> matty: thats how you guarantee all web browsers can understand it too
[19:08] <TuxLuv> anyone here use gnome?
[19:08] <leh> hi. when i source configuration files in .profile the configuration (paths etc.) works in terminal, but not in gnome. where should i source the files so gnomes honores the configuration
[19:08] <chalcedny> TuxLuv, such a question ;)
[19:08] <graft> stooge: if you're talking to someone it's usually polite to prepend their name so it gets highlighted. are you familiar with fdisk?
[19:08] <matty> À will not be displayed in emails sended with mail();
[19:08] <matty> or im wrong?
[19:08] <macogw> matty: instead of the thing where it's like: he said ?how?s it going?? thing where all the " are replaced with ?
[19:08] <xerxes1358> Boglizk, Yeah I dont have any sound at all
[19:09] <EADG> Kibbles: groups username
[19:09] <shwellter> hello, im using feisty and have a nsviewplugin fault, is there a fix for this?
[19:09] <macogw> matty: if its html email, itll work fine
[19:09] <chalcedny> shwellter, did you google for that?
[19:09] <xerxes1358> Boglizk, well only Gnome has sound but the applications have no sound. None of them
[19:09] <Kibbles> eadG - thanks
[19:09] <artti> panbhfive, i finded?
[19:09] <matty> it isnt html email, only text
[19:09] <TuxLuv> chalcedny:are you good at configuring gnolkme?
[19:09] <stooge> graft   used it to in windows
[19:09] <shwellter> chalce i did, there's too much info
[19:09] <macogw> matty: and if its plain text email, php *should* convert it all to utf-8
[19:09] <artti> panbhfive, nothing again, sorry.
[19:09] <xerxes1358> Guys I have a problem. None of my application have sound (Gnome makes sound at login ) What to do ?
[19:09] <graft> stooge: are you running the livecd now?
[19:09] <Eckos> omfg this is pissing me off, i install the nonfree flash plugin for firefox yet it still bitches about it not being installed, when i go to install it again, it says its installed
[19:10] <chalcedny> TuxLuv, but until you asked the real question nobody knew what you needed
[19:10] <macogw> matty: utf8_encode turns it into unicode
[19:10] <graft> Eckos: about:plugins
[19:10] <macogw> matty: i mean utf_encode()
[19:10] <neverblue> !ask | TuxLuv
[19:10] <ubotu> TuxLuv: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:10] <graft> Eckos: you might have another version sitting somewhere else (e.g. ~/.mozilla/plugins)
[19:10] <gatestone> leh, if you put your sourcable config scritpts in to .bash_profile, I guess Gnome will use the resulting environment
[19:11] <TuxLuv> OK, thanks.  I need xhost + command to stay permanent after reboot - any ideas?
[19:11] <graft> xerxes1358: try killing esd
[19:11] <stooge> graft: i am working on another computer at this time.
[19:11] <Eckos> graft: doesn't show flash
[19:11] <ConstyXIV> is there any way to get the Ubuntu .iso onto a bootable USB stick, from windows?
[19:11] <matty> just like mail(...,utf_encode($text)); ?
[19:11] <macogw> matty: yeah,  think so
[19:11] <graft> Eckos: huh. where does firefox live? /usr/lib/firefox?
[19:11] <matty> thats an idea
[19:11] <xerxes1358> graft, killall esd ? no such process
[19:12] <Pici> !install > ConstyXIV (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[19:12] <macogw> matty: the sooner this charset thing dies, the better
[19:12] <ozzloy> when i return from resume, i get 2 prompts for unlocking the keyring so i can log into the network.  this is after upgrading to 7.10.  how do i make it just 1?
[19:12] <graft> stooge: well, that ain't very helpful... i suggest when you get back on there, you fool around with fdisk. delete the small ntfs partition with that if you can, then see if the livecd will use the free space. if it won't, you can make a new linux partition and a new linux swap partition
[19:12] <Eckos> graft: yeah
[19:12] <Eckos> im on the livecd
[19:13] <macogw> matty: i mean, we no longer have computers capable of only doing 1, maybe 2, charsets so that russian computers cant open french douments, but having all the different charsets is still messy
[19:13] <graft> Eckos: oh... no actual ubuntu installed?
[19:13] <stooge> graft:  what should i format that partition in?
[19:13] <TuxLuv> NE1 know what script is executed after gnome login?
[19:13] <leh> gatestone: thx, i'll try that out
[19:13] <macogw> stooge: ext3
[19:13] <graft> stooge: ext3 (Linux extended)
[19:13] <Eckos> graft: no, because im currently in the process of encrypting my hdd
[19:13] <macogw> stooge: windows's formatter cant do it
[19:13] <neverblue> TuxLuv, crons probably will
[19:14] <nonix4> macogw: well the only really messy part is formats & protocols which don't specify the character set used
[19:14] <graft> Eckos: hmm... well i dunno how things do/don't work in that environment
[19:14] <Eckos> why can't they just include it by default automatically
[19:14] <matty> well, thank you, we will test it and if it does not work we will come back again :P
[19:14] <graft> Eckos: -nonfree?
[19:14] <xerxes1358> graft let me reboot maybe that will help. brb
[19:14] <TuxLuv> neverblue: Crons?  You mean the crontab????
[19:14] <stooge> graft:  isn't gparted on the ubuntu live disk, wouldn't that do it?
[19:14] <graft> stooge: yeah, that too
[19:14] <Eckos> graft: the free one sucks hard
[19:14] <swirv> anyone used wifidog or nocat with ubuntu?
[19:15] <zelrikriando> hey how to install GDM theme?
[19:15] <Kibbles> narf.
[19:15] <neverblue> TuxLuv, excessive question marks are not required to get my attention
[19:15] <macogw> nonix4: the demoronizer still has a reason to exist
[19:15] <stooge> graft:  ok. i'll try that. thanks
[19:15] <graft> Eckos: i assume there's some licensing issue
[19:15] <Kibbles> i'm connecting to a remote server through ssh.    How would it know when gnome has been logged in?
[19:17] <bsdnewb07> guys, in ubuntu how can i trigger the system to send an email to 'root' or 'superuser'
[19:17] <graft> Kibbles: s/it's/its/
[19:17] <bsdnewb07> dosent matter whats in the email, just need the system to send me one as a test
[19:17] <macogw> nonix4: ive emailed websites before telling them to go to the HTML tab in Front Page and delete the copyright sign and put in © so their site doesn't look stupid to people who don't use IE
[19:17] <Kibbles> graft: but wouldn't i see samba on the server's local directory tree somewhere?
[19:17] <Kibbles> graft: even if i couldn't see the actual share internals
[19:18] <zelrikriando> Eckos: doesnt work
[19:18] <neverblue> TuxLuv, you asked about setting up something that runs when Gnome is entered... it might not be the best suggestion, but it may accomplish what you want (this is in no part related to your xhost question)
[19:18] <graft> Kibbles: well, sort of... samba just says, "Okay, take directory /whatever/directory/ and map it to samba share "BUBBA'S SAMBA SHARE""
[19:18] <graft> Kibbles: so if you tool around enough you can find /whatever/directory/, but there's no, like, /this/is/the/samba/share/directory/
[19:18] <Syxx> Does anyone know how to get vmware player to work
[19:19] <graft> Kibbles: or rather, there's no /BUBBA'S SAMBA SHARE/ directory
[19:19] <roxja-it> Syxx: whats your problem?
[19:19] <leh> gatestone: hmmm, didn't work...
[19:19] <TuxLuv> neverblue:OK, that's what I thought you meant.  I suppose it's at least a fall back solution.  Thank you.
[19:19] <neverblue> Syxx, can you ask something more specific?
[19:19] <Kibbles> graft: ah thanks, never  used samba myself. so you say i have to connect to to the same server using smbclient
[19:19] <Kibbles> graft
[19:19] <Syxx> ok i downloaded vmware player lastnight and i cant gert it to install
[19:19] <Kibbles> err
[19:19] <Kibbles> graft: does 7.10 have smbclient pre-installed?
[19:19] <Syxx> get*
[19:19] <graft> Kibbles: no idea... easy enough to install, tho
[19:19] <roxja-it> Syxx: the rpm?
[19:20] <neverblue> Syxx, so the installation, I am sure the website where you downloaded it from, has a clear explaination on how to install it
[19:20] <Syxx> rpm?
[19:20] <neverblue> Syxx, is it a .deb atleast?
[19:20] <graft> Kibbles: if you're ssh'd in, you CAN find the local directory, and accessing it via sftp might be preferable to using Samba
[19:20] <Syxx> no tar
[19:20] <Kibbles> graft: lol don't want to install it - trying to wade through bosses stupid instructions
[19:20] <neverblue> Syxx, and your not installing vmware via synaptic.... because?
[19:20] <graft> Kibbles: takes two seconds via synaptic, mate...
[19:20] <Kibbles> graft: how could i do that
[19:21] <Kibbles> graft: join #kibbles ? this is dragging on
[19:21] <Neeku> hi
[19:21] <roxja-it> Syxx: just download it from add/remove and that'll take care of everything
[19:21] <Neeku> how can i use my blue tooth adapter in ubuntu?
[19:21] <razza> ImportError: No module named xrandr
[19:21] <razza> why do i get that?
[19:21] <Syxx> ok let me lookd
[19:21] <Syxx> look
[19:21] <razza> how do i i nstall it?
[19:22] <neverblue> Syxx aptitude search vmware (in a terminal)
[19:22] <mynyml> what happened to vmware-player? i can't find it in the repositories
[19:22] <Syxx> i found it in add/remove
[19:23] <roxja-it> Syxx: off you go and install it so :)
[19:23] <Syxx> VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)
[19:23] <xerxes1358> Wasnt there a entire package to install ALL POSSIBLE audio/Video plugins for linux ?
[19:23] <Kibbles> graft: can't seem to answer you in pm
[19:23] <Neeku> help me please
[19:23] <graft> Kibbles: oh, not registered, eh
[19:23] <xerxes1358> Neeku, whats wrong bri
[19:23] <xerxes1358> Neeku, whats wrong bro
[19:23] <Kibbles> graft: hence #kibbles
[19:24] <nickrud> vmware-player isn't in the repos anymore, but vmware-server can be installed:   add   deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner   to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get  install vmware-server
[19:24] <Syxx> Roxja
[19:24] <byte_slave> hello everyone
[19:24] <Syxx> did you get that
[19:24] <recon> Does anybody know of a way to convert a txt file from DOS format to UNIX?
[19:24] <byte_slave> i'm trying to setup a ssh passwordless connection between 2 machines and i thing i can't get it work, and dunno why
[19:24] <xerxes1358> graft, reboot didnt help my sounds problems
[19:24] <byte_slave> i added the public keys from source machine to remote machine authorizes_keys file
[19:25] <byte_slave> and when trying to connect like: [root@asterisk cron]# ssh -i /home/admin/cron/trixbox-rsync-keys.pub<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:25] <roxja-it> Syxx: I did, you could try getting the rpm from vmware but I'm not sure if it'll work with ubuntu
[19:25] <byte_slave> Enter passphrase for key '/home/admin/est/cron/trixbox-rsync-keys.pub':
[19:25] <graft> xerxes1358: can you get any sound at all? like with aplay or mplayer in a shell?
[19:25] <byte_slave> remote machines asks me all the time for key's passphrase
[19:25] <eax> Morning everyone :) I hope someone can help me with this little and simple problem: Does anyone know how I make "locate" search for folders to?
[19:25] <kakei> im trying to upgrade from feisty to gutsy but after typing sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade it dont upgrade nothing
[19:25] <Neeku> xerxes1358: i'm not a bro, i'm a sys :) ... how can i use my blue tooth adapter in ubuntu?
[19:26] <erUSUL> !bluetooth
[19:26] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[19:26] <EADG_> eax: It does by default.
[19:26] <xerxes1358> Neeku, check out first if linux recognizes your bluetooth. Dmesg | grep ... and follow the guide.
[19:26] <nickrud> eax: just name the folder you want; locate does a string search in it's database.  so searching for /rich/local for example, will find everything in the local dir in my home
[19:27] <Neeku> xerxes1358: it used to detect it; but now it doesn't
[19:27] <gatestone> leh, did log out of Gnome?
[19:27] <eax> EADG_: For me, it doesn't :(
[19:27] <Neeku> xerxes1358: what's next after 'dmesg | grep'...?
[19:28] <eax> nickrud: I want it to search FOR folders :)
[19:28] <leh> gatestone: yes, i restarted gdm too
[19:28] <xerxes1358> Neeku, read the guide. It is too long ago for me :)
[19:28] <leh> gatestone: i already added it to .profile .gnomerc /etc/profile
[19:28] <Neeku> and by the way, bluez-utils is already installed
[19:28] <harushimo> how do I mount the usb drive?
[19:29] <gatestone> Did you add it to .bash_profile?
[19:29] <TuxLuv> NE1 know how to execute a script on autologin?
[19:29] <Neeku> xerxes1358: ahhaa! it's detected now; but i can't see it on panel
[19:29] <nickrud> eax: it's gonna find everything in that folder, true. you do need to know the name of the folder already.
[19:29] <byte_slave> harushimo, umount /path/to/mounted/dir
[19:29] <xerxes1358> graft, when I try to do aply foo.MP3 I hear a lot loud noise.
[19:29] <xerxes1358> Neeku, sweet
[19:30] <nickrud> eax: I'm not sure what you mean by 'search for folders' I guess
[19:30] <graft> xerxes1358: not sure aplay supports mp3... try mplayer
[19:30] <xerxes1358> Neeku, sudo hidd --search
[19:30] <xerxes1358> ?
[19:30] <eax> Nickrud: I want it to search for folders with a specific name :) Not just search IN the folders. Like searching for an folder named "vmware"
[19:30] <nickrud> TuxLuv: add the script to system->prefs->session

[19:31] <xerxes1358> how does it work
[19:31] <Syxx> how do i enable multiverse
[19:31] <graft> stooge: can you pastebin your partition table?
[19:32] <xerxes1358> !sound
[19:32] <erUSUL> !botabuse | xerxes1358
[19:32] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[19:32] <gatestone> leh, maybe you should do like TuxLuv: add your script to system->prefs->session->startups programs
[19:32] <ubotu> xerxes1358: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[19:32] <harushimo> is this how the command works: umount /path/to/mounted/dev/sda
[19:32] <Neeku> xerxes1358: it says searching... and then nothing happens
[19:32] <harushimo> is this right command I typed
[19:32] <stooge> graft:  don't understand?
[19:32] <graft> stooge: um, you know pastebin?
[19:33] <Syxx> how do i enable multiverse
[19:33] <nickrud> !gutsysources | Syxx
[19:33] <ubotu> Syxx: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).

[19:35] <graft> stooge: no problem
[19:35] <EADG_> eax: cd / && sudo locate -u && locate foodir |less    that should find what yer looking for.
[19:36] <eax> EADG_ Thanks a lot :)
[19:36] <xerxes1358> graft, I installed mplayer NOW (not in the past thus) if I select Alsa as output in Amarok I NO LONGER get error. I can play MP3 songs etc and even radio streams
[19:36] <eax> EADG_: Where do I insert the folders name in that line?
[19:36] <fo_x86> with which command do I view a zip file without unzipping the contents?
[19:37] <graft> xerxes1358: my guess is you've got some sound server running that's hogging the sound card via /dev/dsp
[19:37] <EADG_> eax: foodir
[19:37] <eax> EADG_ Thanks a lot :)
[19:37] <Neeku> uh... terminal is great!!
[19:37] <xerxes1358> graft, what to do with it?
[19:37] <xerxes1358> What is a good alternative for Amarok ?
[19:38] <Eckos> audcious?
[19:38] <graft> xerxes1358: well if you're doing fine with amarok, i guess you're halfway there
[19:38] <bastid_raZor> xerxes1358; i like rythymbox.
[19:38] <graft> xerxes1358: what else is not working?
[19:38] <Eckos> i wish the ubuntu kernel supported reiser4

[19:38] <xerxes1358> graft, I would like to get rid of all KDE things except K3B and Amarok.
[19:38] <SecretLine> ubuntu kernel doesnt support reiser4 ?
[19:39] <Neeku> success or failure?!
[19:39] <erUSUL> Eckos: reiser4 is a dead end it will never get on mainline unless things change a lot
[19:39] <xerxes1358> SecretLine, note that 4 is not stable.
[19:39] <SecretLine> yes

[19:46] <graft> xerxes1358: i hate arts! if i were you, i'd just do sudo rm /usr/bin/artsd

[19:47] <graft> xerxes1358: arts is a sound server that runs and sits on top of /dev/dsp, blocking it... so if any other program tries to use that, it won't be able to
[19:47] <imc1> neocortex don't ask to ask, just ask

[19:48] <graft> xerxes1358: it's a (deprecated) part of KDE
[19:48] <sdsheeks> Okay I have a weird issue.  On my laptop I am playing MP3's and I can hear the audio from my laptop speakers while my headphones are plugged in.  Just a note - I can also hear audio through my headphones.... Any ideas?
[19:48] <graft> xerxes1358: honestly i wish they would configure ubuntu so it wouldn't start, ever, at all, under any circumstances, since it's just a nuisance
[19:48] <zach_> i need help with my computer, i had desktop effects enabled and all of a sudden it won't let me enable them again
[19:48] <xerxes1358> graft, I understand then.
[19:48] <xerxes1358> graft, can you help me to remove all (but amarok and k3b) of KDE parts.
[19:49] <Scunizi> graft, this might help you http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_iP2200
[19:49] <J-_> how can I restart alsa?
[19:49] <zach_> is there anyone that could help me?
[19:49] <neocortex> Is it possible to combine two highlighting templates in gedit? That of R and latex?
[19:49] <sdsheeks> zach_: patience.  Let the guru's see your message.
[19:49] <graft> xerxes1358: tough, probably, given the way dependencies are configured
[19:49] <imc1> dA_ShArP it seems to be saying that Apache wasn't running?
[19:50] <graft> xerxes1358: you're going to at least have to have kdelibs installed,a nd that probably means most of the rest of KDE as well (unfortunately)
[19:50] <dA_ShArP> imc1: the  thing is, apache is RUNNING!!
[19:50] <graft> Scunizi: pretty sure that's not for me
[19:50] <xyblor> !xorg
[19:50] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[19:50] <imc1> Hmmm. Have you tried restarting it and then running again?
[19:50] <xerxes1358> graft, problem was my ubuntu cd was broken and I had no system installed so Installed Kubuntu then Gnome. I really dislike KDE. So no use having it
[19:50] <xyblor> !dual-head
[19:50] <ubotu> Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[19:50] <gzb> sdsheeks: you mean the sound still comes out of your speakers even when you plug your headphones in
[19:50] <xerxes1358> graft, I see
[19:50] <Scunizi> graft, yep.. sorry..
[19:51] <sdsheeks> gzb: exactly.
[19:51] <sdsheeks> gzb: which is pretty neat, but annoy's the wife.
[19:51] <fbn> ql
[19:51] <dA_ShArP> imc1: ohh, I see that, apache is not starting or not stopping and returning error
[19:51] <graft> xerxes1358: ah... well, you can try removing kdelibs4 or whatever, that should remove everything that depends on it... then after that just reinstall k3b and amarok, which'll give you the minimal install. but my guess is it will install everything back again
[19:52] <graft> xerxes1358: out of curiosity, why do you dislike KDE?
[19:52] <gzb> sdsheeks: i have had exactly that, think it is a known bug unfortunately, anyway you are not alone
[19:52] <Tobias92> Hey ubuntu people. Quick question, is there any fast way for me to type an accent-aigu or any other french-like character without having to open openoffice.orgs-symbol chart or via the built-in character list?
[19:52] <capricorn^80> anyone who has worked with ossec hids ?'
[19:52] <xerxes1358> graft, in that case I will just leave it. KDE raises my stress levels. :) seriously, the menus are no where as intuitive as Gnome.
[19:52] <Darkus> ciao
[19:52] <dA_ShArP> imc1: I am unable to un install apache2 :(
[19:52] <sdsheeks> gzb: okay thanks.  I'll see what I can find out by looking on the net.  I imagine it has something to do with not sensing the headphone jack.
[19:52] <Tobias92> Say for example like it works on windows, ' + e = e accent aigu. Or even alt+130
[19:52] <neocortex> Again: Is it possible to combine two highlighting templates in gedit? That of R and latex?
[19:53] <dA_ShArP> imc1: to un install also DPKG returns error!!
[19:53] <zach_> could desktop effects be disabled due to a recently installed package?
[19:53] <illu45> Hello, could someone help me with font sizes in firefox?
[19:53] <usr13> xerxes1358: All those menus are negotiable.
[19:53] <xerxes1358> graft, there is one thing though. When I log in (at start of GDM) My fonts look awe full. You know where you ought to type in your name and password.
[19:53] <conb123> Hi im trying to boot the ubuntu live disc but it always freezes at the same point just as it loads the top and bottom bars i dont know if it is to do with the fact i have my hdd connected to a ite IT8212 ide slot
[19:53] <usr13> xerxes1358: You can change the KDE menus just as easily as the gnome ones.
[19:54] <sdsheeks> I only disliked KDE when I used gentoo.  Of course after it compiled I liked it :)
[19:54] <gzb> sdsheeks: yep, i saw some workarounds, none worked perfectly but i had to move on before i gave them any real time
[19:54] <graft> xerxes1358: you mean the start menu? I agree the gnome system is much better (though since my gf designed it i'm a bit biased)
[19:54] <alaric_> I need some help
[19:54] <xerxes1358> usr13, true KDE looked very very slick. But are there GNOME copies of the menus? If I have to re configure everything like Gnome then why not just use Gnome??
[19:54] <sdsheeks> gzb: does your laptop have dual headphone jacks?
[19:54] <Neeku> coiuld somebody help me please?
[19:55] <Neeku> sudo hidd --connect 00:12:8A:24:6B:59

[19:55] <xerxes1358> graft, really ? nice.
[19:55] <xerxes1358> graft, what is her name?

[19:55] <alaric_> with the 690G amd which run an intergrated mother board
[19:55] <graft> xerxes1358: never mind, i'm sure she wouldn't appreciate my gossiping
[19:55] <illu45> When I load some sites in firefox (digg, ubuntuforums), the fonts are too big. But other sites are fine. Any ideas?
[19:55] <Syxx> i got vmware player on ubuntu 7.10
[19:56] <gzb> sdsheeks: it is a vaio with one headphone socket if that is what you mean
[19:56] <sdsheeks> gzb: okay just curious if was only with the dual jacks or not.  Mine has dual headphone jacks.
[19:56] <imc1> I need to re-detect my monitor settings -how?
[19:57] <xerxes1358> graft, her name would be part / listed in the OS developers. I wanted to google her. interesting that she has developed the menu structure. I think it is very good! Maybe as good as OS X dock
[19:57] <imc1> Suddenly I'm in the world of low-res, no effects from 1024x768 and cool effects
[19:57] <Taco_King> does anyone know what a "fatal error" is?
[19:57] <imc1> little context Taco_King?
[19:58] <Pici> Taco_King: It usually means that the error is so bad that the process that caused it needs to close.
[19:58] <Taco_King> in the terminal, about every 10 seconds i get a message that says fatal error
[19:58] <alaric_> so what do i do I am a virgin at this
[19:58] <gzb> sdsheeks: i got just one but had the same problem, one of the workarounds was to play with the sound levels of the different inputs which worked partly
[19:58] <tarandus> Taco_King: have you upgraded to gutsy a moment ago?
[19:58] <conb123> Hi im trying to boot the ubuntu live disc but it always freezes at the same point just as it loads the top and bottom bars i dont know if it is to do with the fact i have my hdd connected to a ite IT8212 ide slot
[19:58] <zach_> is there anyone the could help?
[19:59] <tarandus> Taco_King: I got something similar when I did that, and it required removing a package
[19:59] <tarandus> Taco_King: I also could not mount all my partitions while it went on
[19:59] <Taco_King> i did upgrade to gusty
[20:00] <tarandus> Taco_King: then it is a known problem, and you just need to remove one package, but I just can't remember what was it called
[20:00] <tarandus> Taco_King: google the error, and I am quite sure you will find some more info
[20:00] <Taco_King> ok, ty

[20:16] <conb123> what is the vga mode boot code
[20:16] <m4steR> i'm installing pidgin by source (./configure, make, make install), how can i uninstall it after?
[20:16] <Thirsteh> conb123, it's like the third option in the menu
[20:16] <conb123> oh safe graphics mode
[20:16] <Thirsteh> m4steR, you can't unless it includes an uninstallation program, gotta do it by hand
[20:16] <Thirsteh> conb123, yes that's the one
[20:16] <Aloha> m4steR: there might be a make uninstall in Makefile
[20:16] <akjmicro> hi all
[20:16] <erUSUL> m4steR: use checkinstall
[20:17] <erUSUL> !checkinstall > m4steR
[20:17] <lz1gjd> is it ok to use medibuntu repo to install codecs
[20:17] <Thirsteh> makefiles usually aren't included after the actual installation is done
[20:17] <N256> knight666~
[20:17] <jdknomo> How can I install the sun-java6-sdk package?
[20:17] <m4steR> Aloha, how can I verify it?
[20:17] <killown|away> hi I have card video fx5500 256MB 128bits and agp does not work it   "cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status AGP initialization failed, please check the ouput" can anyone helpme fix it?
[20:17] <Thirsteh> lz1gjd, yes but you probably don't need them, ubuntu-restricted-extras already has most
[20:17] <Aloha> m4steR: see if the files are still there
[20:17] <lz1gjd> ic, thx
[20:18] <N256> KNIGHT666!
[20:18] <Aloha> m4steR: use checkinstall
[20:18] <lz1gjd> and for the latest guide on fglrx ?
[20:18] <Tobias92> Hello ubuntu people. FFmpeg refuses to convert flv to mp4, where can I get a version of ffmpeg that does do this?
[20:18] <jdknomo> Anyone?
[20:18] <ubuntunut> Hey guys, anyone know how ubuntu gets FN keys on a laptop to work in a default gnome install?
[20:18] <Thirsteh> lz1gjd, is something wrong with the Restricted Drivers fglrx? Seems like a hassle
[20:19] <jdknomo> How can I install the sun-java6-sdk package?
[20:19] <lz1gjd> Thirsteh:  well, latest driver seem to support aiglx, compiz-fusion works much faster this way
[20:19] <erUSUL> jdknomo: the same way you install every other package
[20:19] <lz1gjd> (at least in my opinion)
[20:19] <m4steR> Aloha, I did ./configure, than make
[20:19] <erUSUL> !software > jdknomo
[20:19] <m4steR> Aloha, now? checkinstall?
[20:19] <erUSUL> !java > jdknomo
[20:20] <jdknomo> erUSUL: erUSUL E: Couldn't find package sun-java6-sdk

[20:20] <Itaku> what is a good paintshop for ubuntuuuuuuuuuuu?
[20:20] <tweetster> need 5on5, low-mid, server off, pm me
[20:20] <Thirsteh> lz1gjd, I'd recommend you check out Envy. It's not recommended but it's definitely the 'best' if you want the newest drivers as it pretends to be just a newer version of the Restricted Drivers package: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[20:20] <ubuntunut> Itaku: Gimp.
[20:20] <Thirsteh> Itaku, gimp
[20:20] <Aloha> Itaku: the gimp?
[20:20] <Thirsteh> tweetster, stop :-)
[20:20] <Itaku> ...
[20:20] <erUSUL> jdknomo: do to System>Admin>Software sources check all repos from first tab
[20:20] <Itaku> gimp 3 times
[20:21] <jdknomo> jdknomo: I don't have gui access
[20:21] <jdknomo> err
[20:21] <lz1gjd> Thirsteh: k, thx
[20:21] <jdknomo> erUSUL: I dont' have gui access
[20:21] <Thirsteh> jdknomo, sudo aptitude search sdk
[20:21] <jdknomo> Thirsteh: It's not listed
[20:21] <erUSUL> jdknomo: then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and enable multiverse the file is pretty self explanatory
[20:21] <jabez> is there anyone know how to install and run ubuntu from USB HD? how to make it boot up without install the GRUB to the MBR?
[20:21] <jdknomo> I have enabled multiverse
[20:21] <Thirsteh> jdknomo, enabled all of the repositories?
[20:21] <tweetster> need 5on5, low-mid, server off, qry me
[20:21] <gumis> good evening
[20:22] <Aloha> !best > Itaku
[20:22] <mike16> hey guys i just got a server up and running just they way i want, is there a way to kill the gui so save resources
[20:22] <N256> KNIGHT666!
[20:22] <kbrooks> mikael79, u on ubuntu 7.10?
[20:22] <mike16> yes
[20:22] <erUSUL> jdknomo: !!!! the package is sun-java6-jdk you see jdk not sdk ;)
[20:22] <gumis> gnome freezes when i click System->Quit,  what's wrong?
[20:22] <kbrooks> mikael79, sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove
[20:23] <lz1gjd> Thirsteh: on the site there is no mention of gutsy ? only breeze and edgy ?
[20:23] <jdknomo> erUSUL: OMG thank you
[20:23] <Thirsteh> mike16, type 'update-rc.d remove gdm -f && /etc/init.d/gdm stop'
[20:23] <erUSUL> jdknomo: no problem
[20:23] <jdknomo> I've been trying to figure this out forever
[20:23] <mike16> Thursteh: thanks alot
[20:23] <Thirsteh> lz1gjd, Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 	x86, x86_64
[20:23] <test_> anybody here using a stylus?
[20:23] <Thirsteh> lz1gjd, in "Envy New"
[20:23] <gumis> music from xmms still plays, and i can move cursor, but nothing more
[20:23] <erUSUL> jdknomo: a simple search with apt-cache would have enlighten you  XD
[20:23] <test_> im setting up a new machine and for some reason my stylus does not work after i rotate the screen
[20:23] <jabez> is there anyone know how to install and run ubuntu from USB HD? how to make it boot up without install the GRUB to the MBR?
[20:23] <test_> i have a tablet pc
[20:24] <Aloha> mike16: make it start at a different runlevel
[20:24] <jdknomo> erUSUL: Problem was I was searching for "java sdk" :D
[20:24] <Thirsteh> mike16, that will stop X from automatically starting when you boot the PC. I'd recommend you install Ubuntu Server if you want everything set up nicely
[20:24] <jdknomo> erUSUL: Searched several times :D
[20:24] <mike16> ok
[20:24] <kbrooks> jabez, bookmark this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/11/13/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/
[20:24] <LimCore> how to render a web page into pdf or ps, from command line?
[20:24] <Thirsteh> mike16, if you want to start X again later, type 'startx' as your normal user
[20:24] <leeping2009> Hi there, is there a way to SSH into a machine using your password as a parameter, rather than typing it in?
[20:25] <Thirsteh> mike16, or 'sudo gdm' if you want the login window
[20:25] <mike16> ok Thirsteb, i really appreciate it
[20:25] <Thirsteh> leeping2009, yes, check out 'man ssh', it's somewhere inthere
[20:25] <leeping2009> Thirsteh: Thanks :)
[20:25] <jabez> ... give me a bread.. :.-(
[20:25] <jabez> is there anyone know how to install and run ubuntu from USB HD? how to make it boot up without install the GRUB to the MBR?
[20:25] <graft> jabez: can you boot from USB directly?
[20:26] <graft> jabez: does your BIOS let you do that?
[20:26] <nashk> I have multiple interfaces that I use, but I want to assign a specific one as teh default. Is there way?
[20:26] <Thirsteh> jabez, why don't you want to install Grub to the MBR? If you want to boot from the USB device you need a bootloader in the MBR of the _USB disk_
[20:27] <jabez> i just install once this morning and it said BRUB Error 21 and make my vista unbootable.
[20:27] <modoc_> What's a good way to do whole drive or partial drive encryption?
[20:27] <knight666> N256: hi <3
[20:27] <jabez> my bios is allow me to boot from USB
[20:27] <rufus> !wireless
[20:27] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[20:27] <erUSUL> jabez: maybe www.pendrivelinux.com
[20:27] <N256> !!
[20:27] <Thirsteh> jabez, you boot Vista from your USB drive too?
[20:27] <Thirsteh> jabez, you don't need GRUB in any other harddrive MBR (every one harddrive has a master boot record) than the USB drive
[20:27] <jabez> acrually i just bought a laptop from DELL XPS 1730
[20:28] <knight666> does anyone have any idea why my video (that i'm streaming from my usb harddrive) keeps on jittering and resetting every now and then? :(
[20:28] <gumis>  gnome freezes when i click System->Quit,  what's wrong?
[20:28] <jabez> no i boot and reinstall bacl my vista from the cd back...
[20:30] <jabez> ......
[20:31] <sdsheeks> ....
[20:31] <Thirsteh> jabez, it's hard to understand what you're saying
[20:31] <Thirsteh> Did you install Vista on your USB drive?
[20:32] <jabez> sorry...  :((
[20:32] <jabez> i have my vista in my new laptop.
[20:32] <Thirsteh> And you want Ubuntu on a USB disk?
[20:32] <jabez> yes
[20:32] <jiulio> salve
[20:33] <andy_> kk
[20:33] <Thirsteh> If you install Ubuntu on a drive it will create a bootloader in whatever drive you installed it on's boot record (MBR)
[20:33] <sxp> i want to install goattracker in ubuntu, i have the .tar.gz
[20:34] <Thirsteh> jabez, you need a BIOS capable of booting from a USB drive to successfully boot that
[20:34] <lz1gjd> does any1 know if I could install fglxrx 8.02 with envy, from what I could see the latest version you could install is 8.01
[20:34] <sxp> i was uncompress this, but i don't know how to install
[20:34] <jabez> but, when i boot up my laptop, the GRUB get "ERROR 21"
[20:34] <novato_br> hi, dudes, a friend has mp3 clock. it doesn't working on ubuntu, the dmesg log is http://www.pastebin.ca/910118
[20:34] <jabez> i dont know how to recover it.
[20:34] <novato_br> what's going on ?
[20:34] <nomi1> jabez have you got a live disk
[20:35] <jabez> yes i have the ubuntu live cd
[20:35] <nomi1> you boot a live disk then mount your hard disk as a volume to sort the problem out
[20:35] <nomi1> i don't know exactly how ask somebody else
[20:35] <novato_br> [ 4527.979609] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk / #
[20:35] <novato_br> [ 4527.979688] sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0
[20:35] <novato_br> ops
[20:35] <novato_br> sorry
[20:35] <xubinux> i have xubuntu and i would like tu put a link of my home folder in the top bar..how i can do it???
[20:35] <jabez> how to? im a linux newbie here. after i try it, i like it verymuch.
[20:36] <nomi1> i think the idea is to fsck your system off the live disk and make it bootable again
[20:37] <jabez> what is that?? i dont know... :-x
[20:37] <nomi1> the fsck is the 'filing system check'
[20:37] <nomi1> equivalent to scandisk in windows
[20:37] <jabez> i see..
[20:38] <sterco1> How can I tell which program is attached to (tying up) a port?
[20:38] <nomi1> to mount a drive is to make it visible in your directory tree
[20:39] <jabez> can you tell me the steps how to make it? i dont know much about the linux system and terminal things.
[20:39] <nomi1> as i said i've never done it you will need commands others will tell you there is probably a FAQ
[20:39] <vbabiy> Hey guys does any one know if there is to specify in gnome to auto mount a volume on boot.
[20:39] <hon> how can I modify tooltip settings? (I know where to modify their colors)
[20:39] <rufus> jabez, mount -t ext3 /dev/sdax /mnt/sdax  -replace x with partition number
[20:39] <hon> e.g. when they appear, etc.
[20:40] <vbabiy> you can specify the location for it to be mounted but I can't find something like auto mount
[20:40] <jabez> thanks for your kindness :)) i will search somewhere else :))
[20:40] <xubinux> where can i find second life folder in ubuntu?
[20:40] <jabez> thank you too :))))
[20:40] <sterco1> vbabiy: ot
[20:40] <vbabiy> xubinux: check your home dir
[20:41] <vbabiy> sterco1: ??
[20:41] <sterco1> vbaby: s it's in the mount table, mtab.
[20:41] <Powerking89670> xubuntux try : ~/
[20:41] <Powerking89670> which is your home dir as vbabiy said :p

[20:41] <lama> him anyybody capable debuging gstreamer framework?
[20:41] <lama> s/him/hi/
[20:41] <xubinux> vbabiy: there isn't
[20:42] <vbabiy> sterco1: well I know that but I need to know if there is a way to do it from the qui
[20:42] <vbabiy> gui
[20:42] <N256> KNIGHT666!
[20:42] <vbabiy> xubinux: are you looking at hidden folders
[20:42] <vbabiy> folders that start with a period are hidden
[20:42] <xubinux> vbabiy: no
[20:42] <vbabiy> in the file browser click ctrl+h
[20:42] <sterco1> vbabiy: through the command line? :-)
[20:42] <Powerking89670> xubinux: alt + . if your in dolphin
[20:42] <xubinux> vbabiy: i need the principal not hidden
[20:43] <vbabiy> xubinux: not sure what you mean
[20:43] <vbabiy> xubinux: are you using gnome or KDE
[20:43] <xubinux> i have to copy slvoice files inside
[20:43] <mrr> Is there a recent octave-forge package somewhere? I only find one from March 2006 in the archives.
[20:44] <vbabiy> xubinux: where are these files suppose to go?
[20:44] <Powerking89670> xubinux: okay, it doesnt matter what you need to do atm, we jsut want to help you find it :p, what is your file manager "IE Nautilis(for gnome), Konqueror, or Dolphin?
[20:44] <xubinux> the damn xubuntu menu don't let me cklick with dx on the icons to see the properties...how can i fix it?
[20:44] <Boglizk> Is it possible to reload gnome without closing my applications?
[20:45] <xubinux> xubuntu..i think nautilus
[20:45] <Boglizk> Xubuntu uses Thunar
[20:45] <Boglizk> not tNautilus
[20:45] <xubinux> the original one...second life icon is under games
[20:46] <Powerking89670> you have a working shortcut?
[20:47] <xubinux> yes it works
[20:47] <xubinux> but i can't klik on it with right clik
[20:47] <jdknomo> I just updated /etc/profile .. is there a way to have my current bash shell reread the /etc/profile without having to exit and open a new shell?
[20:47] <Powerking89670> xubinux: gotcha, what exactly are you trying to do? IE, what needs doing :p
[20:48] <xubinux> i need tu find the second life folder to copy inside some files
[20:48] <Powerking89670> xubinux: okay, open your home directory
[20:49] <xubinux> i know ctrl H...but isn't hidden
[20:49] <Newbuntu2> I'm moving my server from gentoo to ubuntu, and I want to add my RAID 5 array. can anyone help me start it back up so I don't lose all my information?
[20:49] <xubinux> i did another time but i forge position...is non hidden
[20:50] <Powerking89670> xubinux: okay, so we've ruled out it being in there, I suggestt checking on the software vendor's site for its default installation directory
[20:50] <Powerking89670> unless you changed it, then it is probably at that location :P
[20:50] <xubinux> where is the folder games?
[20:50] <xubinux> is it there
[20:51] <Newbuntu2> join /carpc
[20:51] <Powerking89670> xubinux: I dont know xubuntu very well, you could  try /join #xubuntu
[20:52] <Odd-rationale> xubinux: /usr/share/games ?
[20:52] <Flare183> xubinux: or /usr/local/games?
[20:52] <RichEd> can anyone tell me if it is possible to reset my video output driver *without* restarting X or a reboot ?

[20:55] <Powerking89670> RichEd: at least thats what its almost ALWAYS done for me
[20:55] <ubotu> knoppix: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[20:55] <RichEd> funny thing is that embedded flash movies still play in firefox
[20:55] <knoppix> i cant mount my IDE drive in knoppix
[20:56] <knoppix> i had no problems before

[20:57] <sdsheeks> I'm looking for advice on a backup solution.  I used norton ghost in windows and would like something similiar that will allow me to recover my entire system should something happen.  Thoughts?
[20:58] <natlinuxnewb> sdsheeks: System image? (i speak without knowledge)
[20:58] <Powerking89670> sdsheeks: put your home folder on a seperate partition, that way if you need to reinstall the OS, you dont lose your files
[20:58] <arooni> help!
[20:58] <arooni> my skype doesnt work :(
[20:58] <xerxes1358> .

[20:59] <sdsheeks> Powerking89670: i do that already, but I would love to copy the entire disk to an image and burn to DVD :)
[20:59] <danbhfive> !clone | sdsheeks you may find this info useful
[20:59] <ubotu> sdsheeks you may find this info useful: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[20:59] <sdsheeks> Powerking89670: perhaps it is my years of experience with gentoo and hating the thought of having to reinstall.
[20:59] <Powerking89670> sdsheeks: hehe, well I have no idea then :P

[21:00] <sdsheeks> Oh and BTW oil is > 100$ :(
[21:00] <natlinuxnewb> sdsheeks: Ill leave you in more capable hands than mine :)
[21:00] <Powerking89670> sdsheeks: I'd be surprised if you were; if your still in here when you find out -- let me know

Is there any way of getting those programs onto here? I've had a quick look in Add/Remove programs but am not happy with the education programs i see on the list.
[21:03] <erUSUL> sdsheeks: i've never used it myself... i have a blind faith on my hard disks XD
[21:03] <sdsheeks> erUSUL: omg i like.  It is even console based!
[21:03] <sdsheeks> erUSUL: oh i've never had one fail, but I feel more comfortable knowing I have a copy of my system.  I used gentoo for years and years and the installs take days.

[21:06] <natlinuxnewb> oh yes. paco reminded me. My sound is much quieter on ubuntu than on windows with no hardware of sound settings changed. Any reason why?
[21:06] <ml> ?
[21:07] <sdsheeks> erUSUL: good utility, but requires the partion be unmounted.  I was looking for more of a live image tool.  I'll keep looking.
[21:07] <credible> Wirwing: dyy1, please join #compiz-fusion
[21:07] <cosmodad> ml: I know knoppix has one, it's called "nousb". You could try.
[21:07] <natlinuxnewb> *hardware or sound settings changed*
[21:07] <Jouva> Agh. Are there any known work arounds for getting a Dimension E310 to work with the Ubuntu install disk? I read it's an issue with the USB chipset and the only way to get it to work is using an onboard USB card
[21:07] <hunteke> hey hey, linux ram question.  I've got a server running ubuntu.  How do I find out what kind of memory it has?  I see /proc/meminfo, but it has stats, not memory info (like manufacturer and ecc stuff etc.)
[21:07] <theo__> I am now truly fed up with windows
[21:07] <theo__> glad I have these discs now...
[21:08] <natlinuxnewb> hunteke: theres a command lsfn or something. hang on a sec
[21:08] <knoppix> folks whats the best way to recover data from this HD
[21:08] <knoppix> i dont think its seriously messed up but i cant mount it
[21:08] <cosmodad> hunteke: free -m
[21:08] <hunteke> cosmodad: thanks
[21:08] <natlinuxnewb> ok nvm lol
[21:09] <ml> thank you cosmodad, I will try that..
[21:09] <hunteke> nope, that's not what I was looking for either, actually.
[21:09] <cosmodad> knoppix: dd_rescue is made for copying data off damaged disks.
[21:09]  * hunteke looks back to natlinuxnewb
[21:09] <hunteke> :-)
[21:09] <cosmodad> knoppix: oh you said *kind*, sorry.
[21:09] <cosmodad> knoppix: wrong one.
[21:09] <cosmodad> hunteke: : oh you said *kind*, sorry.
[21:09] <hunteke> hehe yep.
[21:09] <cosmodad> hunteke: as in technology?
[21:09] <cosmodad> hm...
[21:09] <hunteke> sure, but also manufacture
[21:10] <hunteke> kind of like what lspci gives
[21:10] <cosmodad> would like to know a Linux tool too.
[21:10] <hunteke> natlinuxnewb: ready to save the day?
[21:10] <natlinuxnewb> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/system-hardware-information-and-run-reports.html
[21:10] <natlinuxnewb> little program
[21:10] <natlinuxnewb> hunteke: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/system-hardware-information-and-run-reports.html
[21:10] <hunteke> ah cool, thanks
[21:11] <faileas> I might be picking up a used dual proc server in the coming weeks. Wondering if i should use the generic kernel, or is there a SMP kernel i should us
[21:11] <ConstyXIV> does isotostick.sh work from a Mac (OSX)?
[21:11] <natlinuxnewb> sorry i dont know that easy other command
[21:11] <Haz> i would like to make my ubuntu comp accessible through My Network Places on Windows, how would I go about doing this?
[21:12] <Flare183> !samba | Haz
[21:12] <ubotu> Haz: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[21:12] <arooni> once you do sudo apt-get remove skype..... how do i tell ubuntu to get rid of all the files there are still there
[21:12] <arooni> sudo apt-get purge or something?
[21:13] <Flare183> arooni: sudo apt-get remove --purge skype
[21:13] <hunteke> arooni: sudo apt-get remove --purge skype
[21:13] <ConstyXIV> arooni: what do you mean "the files that are still there"?
[21:13] <Flare183> haha
[21:13] <hunteke> :-)
[21:13] <danbhfive> Haz, you may find this link helpful too http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-on-win-network.htm
[21:13] <Haz> 'rite, ty guys. i'll look into them all. :)
[21:13] <arooni> when installing skype beta: dpkg: error processing /tmp/skype-debian_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb (--install):
[21:13] <arooni>  trying to overwrite `/usr/share/icons/skype.png', which is also in package skype-common
[21:13] <arooni> even after running the purge
[21:15] <natlinuxnewb> My sound is much quieter on ubuntu than windows. There are no hardware changes (i.e. nothing is unplugged) and afaik theres no software changes. Any reason for this difference in sound?
[21:15] <faileas> natlinuxnewb: check the volume? ;p
[21:15] <Le-Chuck_ITA> how can I backup my gnome session before damaging it?
[21:15] <jhonovich> how can i find memory usage for a specific process? i have the pid
[21:16] <Le-Chuck_ITA> jhonovich: use top?
[21:16] <xerxes1358> I have a problem: my External HDD got disconnected accidentally. Now Ubuntu doesnt connect it anymore .What to do >
[21:16] <xerxes1358> ?
[21:16] <Le-Chuck_ITA> xerxes1358: check dmesg
[21:16] <kbrooks> question
[21:16] <Le-Chuck_ITA> xerxes1358: open a console and run "tail -f /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages", then connect your disk and see what happens
[21:17] <Le-Chuck_ITA> xerxes1358: is your disk ntfs?
[21:17] <jhonovich> Le-Chuck_ITA: i have used top and it does not seem to show all processes plus it only shows percentages
[21:17] <xerxes1358> Le-Chuck_ITA, yes
[21:17] <jhonovich> is there a command that reports on a specific process?
[21:17] <Le-Chuck_ITA> jhonovich: I don't know but take a look at the ps manpage
[21:18] <natlinuxnewb> fail lol read my thing again. Ill give an example. 1) In Itunes the sound is at halfway. My Home theatre system is at 20/30 = quite loud music. 2) In gxine/Movieplayer/VLC the sound is at max, and I have to turn my theatre system up to max to hear just below talking level.
[21:18] <Le-Chuck_ITA> xerxes1358: I think you'll have to make a disk check from windows
[21:18] <Pricey> I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy and for some reason my logout dialogue nolonger appears. I press the red quit button, then lose all control, I can't click or alt+tab etc. This is reproducable with and without compiz.
[21:18] <xerxes1358> Le-Chuck_ITA, good I formatted windows away ;)
[21:18] <Le-Chuck_ITA> natlinuxnewb: maybe you have some boost control on your card
[21:19] <Le-Chuck_ITA> try messing up with the mixer configuration until you can see all of the card controls
[21:19] <natlinuxnewb> realtek 5.1 onboard sound
[21:19] <Le-Chuck_ITA> then try all of them randomly :)
[21:19] <hunteke> arooni: if you don't like mucking around with the commandline apt-* packages, you could also think about using synaptic
[21:19] <natlinuxnewb> I've turned all those i can find up as well
[21:19] <Le-Chuck_ITA> xerxes1358: I understand the point of using ntfs if you carry your drive around but it will not work
[21:19] <tarelerulz> I am try ekiga and It does not seem to pick up my mic.  here my sound card  Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03). It seem to see something .
[21:19] <Le-Chuck_ITA> at least for now I think
[21:20] <mikke> Hello. I have netbooted a client via PXE, started the installation of Ubuntu. But when I have to choose ARCHIVE the installer can't find the source. I think this is because i don't have declared the DNS server. But: If I type in archive information manualy with <IP_ADDRESS> instead of DNS it wont work. what directory should I continue with? /ubuntu/dists/gutsy/ or what?
[21:20] <xerxes1358> Le-Chuck_ITA, ?
[21:20] <Le-Chuck_ITA> xerxes1358: try to fsck with linux tools and then use ext3 plus a small "FAT" partition (no pun intended) where you put some win tool to access ext3
[21:20] <natlinuxnewb> This is what I mean by no known software changes. I dont have an further ideas on why the sound is different in ubuntu than in windows. Is there a sound booster in windows that ubuntu doesnt use or something?
[21:20] <cicero_b> how do you get all apps to minimize in ubuntu? (windows + d on pc)
[21:21] <xerxes1358> Le-Chuck_ITA, point is I had no space left to move around data on External hd.
[21:21] <Le-Chuck_ITA> natlinuxnewb: do you have other devices in file/devices?
[21:21] <mrtsunami> cicero_b, there should be an icon in the bottom left hand corner that allows you to minimize all open widnows
[21:21] <cicero_b> yup, got it -- there is also a key-combo that i have forgotten
[21:21] <cicero_b> (thanks though)
[21:22] <natlinuxnewb> Le-Chuck_ITA: I dont have a file/devices. Do you mean /dev?
[21:22] <Le-Chuck_ITA> xerxes1358: maybe there are settings for ntfs that can make things more stable. I don't know though :)
[21:22] <soulburner> simple q: can anyone give me the drive eject command in terminal
[21:22] <soulburner> for cd-rom
[21:22] <EADG> eject
[21:22] <natlinuxnewb> soulburner: unfold a paper clip :)
[21:22] <soulburner> isnt it eject /mouth/dvd1 or somethin like that?
[21:22] <mrtsunami> cicero_b, CTRL+ALT+D
[21:22] <soulburner> natlinuxnewb,  noooooooo
[21:23] <soulburner> mouth lmao
[21:23] <Le-Chuck_ITA> nobody knows how to backup gnome session=?
[21:23] <soulburner> mount i mean
[21:23] <mrtsunami> cicero_b, by default, it can be changed to whatever you want in keyboard shortcuts
[21:23] <natlinuxnewb> Le-Chuck_ITA: disk image?
[21:23] <hunteke> soulburner: $ mount
[21:23] <cicero_b> sweet!
[21:23] <cicero_b> (thanks)
[21:23] <hunteke> shows what is currently mounted
[21:23] <xerxes1358> Le-Chuck_ITA, What do you mean the settings of you rmenu etc?
[21:23] <kbrooks> Le-Chuck_ITA, compress the directories ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf*
[21:23] <hunteke> then you can see what to eject
[21:23] <simNIX> greeting
[21:24] <natlinuxnewb> Le-Chuck_ITA:  (09:59:09)   danbhfive: !clone | sdsheeks you may find this info useful
[21:24] <Le-Chuck_ITA> xerxes1358: I mean the programs that I can see with all the strange icons in "current session" in the session preferences
[21:24] <jianfei> anyone had any luck running the novell login client on ubuntu, cant get it working
[21:24] <kbrooks> Le-Chuck_ITA, then send elsewhere
[21:24] <kbrooks> >>> Le-Chuck_ITA, compress the directories ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* <<<
[21:24] <Devourer> Is there a better media player than the Totem Movie player?
[21:24] <xerxes1358> Le-Chuck_ITA, I think GDM mananger had an option to safe your session. mAybe that is what you need.
[21:25] <kbrooks> xerxes1358, its not what he needs
[21:25] <EADG> Devourer: mplayer, vlc.
[21:25] <kbrooks> xerxes1358, so you're wrong
[21:25] <kbrooks> Le-Chuck_ITA, compress the directories ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf*

[21:25] <Le-Chuck_ITA> shows nothing
[21:25] <sdsheeks> kbrooks: thanks I'll remember that :)
[21:26] <cicero_b> hey -- what is the red line that shows every so often in xchat (goes across the whole app)
[21:26] <sdsheeks> kbrooks: as I restore an image and get back up and running in minutes.
[21:26] <Le-Chuck_ITA> kbrooks: and I have gnome-wm in the session (I can see it now)
[21:26] <kbrooks> sdsheeks, hilightin wrong person
[21:26] <Le-Chuck_ITA> cicero_b: perhaps showing last time your window had focus?
[21:26] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I have it in pidgin :)
[21:27] <sdsheeks> kbrooks: no it was meant for you -> <kbrooks> natlinuxnewb, imaging is OVERKILL
[21:27] <samurailink3> I've got open office and firefox both hanging on a 'wait4(4294967295,  '

[21:27] <lavish> hi all! I'm using hardy and I've this problem while upgrading/removing/installing anything: http://rafb.net/p/4KOy3256.html Any idea? Thanks
[21:27] <spinki> jojo
[21:27] <spinki> hi
[21:28] <spinki> were ir gone
[21:28] <cicero_b> o.k. now a hard one: i installed the ubuntu server with LAMP, etc. now i wanted a gui, so i installed the desktop over everything. but it doesn't look like I have access to the apps (i.e. mysql) from the applications menu. how did i screw things up here?
[21:28] <natlinuxnewb> eh
[21:29] <alvarezp> Obelich, have you seen http://www.linuxtj.org?
[21:29] <Le-Chuck_ITA> lavish: ask on #ubuntu+1 but it seems to me that python-apt is broken
[21:29] <Le-Chuck_ITA> download a less recent version and install that
[21:29] <lavish> Le-Chuck_ITA: thanks, I didn't know that chan ;)
[21:30] <Jouva> lavish
[21:30] <Jouva> oh n/m you're in there now :)
[21:30] <natlinuxnewb> General knowledge: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-tweak-ubuntu.html
[21:31] <sdsheeks> brb going to try to image
[21:32] <Le-Chuck_ITA> lavish: I am wrong it seems like "python-central" is broken which I suppose is worse :)
[21:32] <comicinker> wie hieß nochmal das tool um von odt oder odf dokumenten eine voransicht in nautilus zu erhalten?
[21:32] <comicinker> oops
[21:32] <Le-Chuck_ITA> When I look for linux how-to-do-this-and-thats on the web, I always discover that ubuntu does it different
[21:33] <Le-Chuck_ITA> which may be a reason of its success but where the ***** is the .gnome2/session file?
[21:33] <natlinuxnewb> Le-Chuck_ITA: did you read that how to?
[21:33] <lastelement0> hi all i am having trouble getting k9copy to work properly. i just installed it from the repositorie and whenever i have it start processing to ISO i get a SIGSERV error
[21:33] <comicinker> how is the tool called to create thumbnails from odf or odt documents in nautilus?
[21:33] <lavish> Le-Chuck_ITA: seen -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-central/+bug/192992
[21:34] <natlinuxnewb> Le-Chuck_ITA: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-tweak-ubuntu.html I dont know how good it is. but you could try it :)
[21:34] <Le-Chuck_ITA> lavish: great I won't reboot my hardy for a while :) natlinuxnewb: sure I did!
[21:34] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I can't understand that, though
[21:34] <natlinuxnewb> lol ok
[21:34] <kbrooks> Le-Chuck_ITA, it is not necessary, listen. just compress the .gnome .gnome2 andd .gconf directories - the session is there _only if you saved it_
[21:34] <Pricey> !hardy | Le-Chuck_ITA
[21:34] <ubotu> Le-Chuck_ITA: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[21:34] <kbrooks> Le-Chuck_ITA, you don't need to save it
[21:35] <lastelement0> can someone help me with my issues in regards to k9copy not processing the movie at all?
[21:35] <kbrooks> Le-Chuck_ITA, for the settings. all saving ur session does it make it so that when you login again, your apps start again.
[21:35] <Xclusivos_net> Reeeeeeeeeeee
[21:35]  * Le-Chuck_ITA decided not to backup the damn session
[21:35] <Le-Chuck_ITA> cu later
[21:36] <Haz> works great now :)
[21:36] <kbrooks> okay...
[21:36] <Xclusivos_net> instale ubuntu en mi ibook G4 la cosa ke no se como ponerle la X, me baje el mini disco de 15 mb :p de instalacion luego hice un apt-get install gnome-core k packetes mas debo instalarme?

[21:36] <clocKwize> all i have is the desktop
[21:36] <hw00djohn> so, where are the lulz to be found on IRC?
[21:36] <absalom> Is it possible to install realplayer on gutsy?
[21:37] <kane77> how do I get k3b burn audio cd from mp3?
[21:37] <EADG> clocKwize: alt+F2
[21:37] <Devourer> Something is wrong with my FireFox's XML parser, is that a bug in gusty?
[21:37] <graft> kane77: should be straightforward, what's the hangup?
[21:38] <natlinuxnewb> absalom: http://www.real.com/linux
[21:39] <kane77> graft, Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format.. I remember having to iinstall some mp3 decoder for k3b but I can't find it now in repos..
[21:39] <natlinuxnewb> absalom: http://www.real.com/linux
[21:40] <kane77> graft, found it it is libk3b-mp3
[21:40] <absalom> weird, I cant access my folders from the Places menu, nothing happens when I click them..
[21:40] <natlinuxnewb> Whats a gooc HD partition setup? And how do i change it? I can do this without effecting the content correct?
[21:41] <natlinuxnewb> *good*
[21:42]  * magnetron pokes kbrooks
[21:42] <kbrooks> i have two questions
[21:42] <kbrooks> a) how to setup encrypted swap
[21:43] <cosmodad> kbrooks: a) use dm-crypt.
[21:43] <kbrooks> b) why doesn't 1280x1024 work properly
[21:43] <Waffle> i want to learn some basic programming skills, where would be a good place for me to start? i tried downloading hacketyhack but i couldnt get it to work properly.
[21:43] <natlinuxnewb> kbrooks: this might help some http://damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-26-18667-0.html
[21:44] <magnetron> c) why doesn't kbrooks provide any info about his resolution problem
[21:44] <danbhfive> Waffle: knuth is the man
[21:44] <kbrooks> cosmodad, how? i tried by using crypttab and saying "/dev/mapper/swap        none    swap    sw      0       0"
[21:44] <kbrooks> cosmodad, in /etc/fstab
[21:44] <magnetron> Waffle: "Dive into Python" is a good and freely downloadable book about starting to program in python
[21:44] <cosmodad> kbrooks: you need another entry in /etc/crypttab
[21:44] <artti> i have Xubuntu and computer is still slow.
[21:45] <kbrooks> cosmodad, is this the proper way to setup encrypted swap?
[21:45] <kbrooks> cosmodad, i did
[21:45] <kbrooks> cosmodad, "swap /dev/hda2 /dev/urandom swap"
[21:45] <cosmodad> kbrooks: yeah should work.
[21:45] <kbrooks> cosmodad, how do i test?
[21:45] <cosmodad> kbrooks: what makes you think it's not working?
[21:46] <kbrooks> cosmodad, it boots pretty fast
[21:46] <cosmodad> kbrooks: that's fine with moderately new machines.
[21:46] <kbrooks> cosmodad, and no swap in /dev/mapper
[21:46] <Waffle> magnetron: what program do i use to write python and test it?
[21:47] <patrick75> hi all
[21:47] <kbrooks> cosmodad, hello? there is no swap file in /dev/mapper, only control
[21:47] <magnetron> Waffle: it's called IDLE. install it with add/remove programs
[21:47] <Waffle> danbhfive: as in Donald Knuth the guy from Stanford?
[21:47] <cosmodad> kbrooks: relax, man. I'm not getting paid. :)
[21:47] <patrick75> anyone familiar with installing ubuntu to an external usb drive? going through grub hell here
[21:47] <magnetron> Waffle: knuth is my homeboy!
[21:47] <NET||abuse> Hi guys.. i'm trying to download a file from a newsgroup, tried using gwget, but it doesn't have any login to website with credentials facility,, is the a dl manager for ubuntu that does have something like that?
[21:48] <Waffle> magnetron: i will take that as a yes
[21:48] <magnetron> Waffle: yup
[21:48] <kaneda> having trouble understanding why im losing 70gb of space on my new 500gb hdd
[21:48] <kbrooks> NET||abuse, wget has authenication built in
[21:48] <cosmodad> kbrooks: do this and check if there's a result: sudo dmsetup ls|grep swap
[21:48] <starked> Anybody here know how to get devhelp and sdl to play nice? I see a package in the repo called devhelp-book-sdl, but it says it's only referred to by another package, any ideas?
[21:48] <kbrooks> NET||abuse, _you_ have to give the username and password
[21:48] <CVD-PR> llegue
[21:49] <NET||abuse> kbrooks, tried to get it to login to a site, won't work for me,, maybe i'm doing it wrong.. one sec,, 2 lines is what i am using, i'll give em to you.
[21:49] <kbrooks> kaneda, not hard to explain
[21:49] <faileas> I might be picking up a used dual proc server in the coming weeks. Wondering if i should use the generic kernel, or is there a SMP kernel i should use
[21:49] <kaneda> then pls enlighten me im not a noob
[21:49] <weltschmerz> i'm suddenly having a problem where when i log into X, windows have no borders, and i can't select fields.  my system is basically unusable.  but failsafe is working for me.  i'm using hardy alpha, so i don't expect a great deal of help, but was hoping maybe this is something simply fixable.
[21:49] <kbrooks> kaneda, When a ext3 file system is formatted, Linux reserves 5 percent of the disk space for the "root" user.
[21:49] <natlinuxnewb> which is better? QTParted or GParted?

[21:51] <flipody> pineapple, ati or nvidia?
[21:51] <pineapple> nvidia
[21:51] <kaneda> kbrooks, what conflict would that cause
[21:51] <ConstyXIV> is there any way to find out if your machine has a TPM chip?

[21:51] <patrick75> i'm in the gutsy livecd. any idea how i can get grub to install to the root of the external hd and not my internals?
[21:51] <pineapple> my monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050, but when I set it to that it scrolls vertically and horizontally and refuses to use the nvidia driver, only the vesa
[21:51] <starked> Anybody here know how to get devhelp and sdl to play nice? I see a package in the repo called devhelp-book-sdl, but it says it's only referred to by another package, any ideas?
[21:51] <kaneda> kbrooks, then whats the purpose of reserving the 5% in the first place
[21:52] <pineapple> also it's artifacty and generally looks like butts
[21:52] <kbrooks> kaneda, to *reduce* fragmentation and to help out the system log program if free space, from the perspective of another user, is 0.
[21:53] <kbrooks> kaneda, but latter only applies on oldddddd distributions that you install on your main HDD
 kbrooks: do this and check if there's a result: sudo dmsetup ls|grep swap # no result
[21:54] <kaneda> kbrooks, yeah this is a secondary storage hd
[21:54] <jms> hey - can anyone point me to a guide to setting up the /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[21:54] <kaneda> kbrooks, and im pretty much the only one who uses this system anyways
[21:55] <jms> for gutsy
[21:55] <Jack_Sparrow> pineapple: Usually people forget to supply the monitor settings for vert/horiz refresh and sync and only supply a different sync number like 60 with the screen res
[21:55] <kbrooks> kaneda, and just in case you're concerned - there will ALWAYS be some fragmentation on all oses that get installed to a HDD
[21:55] <cens0red> good moaning.
[21:55] <natlinuxnewb> Why is my windows wobbly?
[21:55] <kbrooks> kaneda, but Linux does not force you to manage it
[21:55] <flipody> pineapple, did you install nvidia drivers?
[21:56] <macogw> natlinuxnewb: you have compiz turned on and the wobbly windows plugin enabled
[21:56] <pineapple> yes I did
[21:56] <pineapple> I used Envy
[21:56] <kbrooks> kaneda, (I assume for, dare I say, system administration simplicity)
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[21:56] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[21:56] <natlinuxnewb> macogw: its weird
[21:56]  * pineapple sighs
 pineapple: Usually people forget to supply the monitor settings for vert/horiz refresh and sync and only supply a different sync number like 60 with the screen res # uh, i have the same exact problem
[21:56] <kbrooks> i have a ummm
[21:56] <macogw> natlinuxnewb: after using it, i feel like the windows not moving is unnatural :P
[21:57]  * kbrooks grabs vid card data
[21:57] <Jack_Sparrow> pineapple: That was where your problems started
[21:57] <patrick75> hmm. no grub gurus at all then?
[21:57] <Jack_Sparrow> kbrooks: It has nothing to do with the video card
[21:57] <macogw> natlinuxnewb: if you install compizconfig-settins-manager you can customize which plugins are off and on
[21:57] <Waffle> magnetron: How common is python in the programming world? as a junior in high school, I want to go into programming or design in college. What would be a good language for me to learn for that purpose? Or is python still appropriate?
[21:57] <pineapple> I tried that first and it wouldn't download anything, just told me nvidia-glx-new was missing
[21:57] <kbrooks> Jack_Sparrow, what's problematic thwn?
[21:57] <Jack_Sparrow> kbrooks: Monitor settings
[21:58] <pineapple> I found envy googling for a solution and it actually worked and told me how to download dependencies and such
[21:58] <natlinuxnewb> macogw: I think i did something that turned it on. Something in appearance maybe
[21:58] <kbrooks> Jack_Sparrow, and how do i fix that?
[21:58] <TuxLuv> NE1 know of any command line benchmarks in ubuntu?
[21:58] <kaneda> kbrooks, ok then whats the used 7.5gb for

[21:58] <kbrooks> Jack_Sparrow, apparently my monitor is an ati mobile m3
[21:58] <natlinuxnewb> macogw: Yeah i turned on effects in ... you got it
[21:59] <macogw> natlinuxnewb: wobbly windows and desktop cube are the most commonly requested settings, so those are the defaults when you turn on effects
[21:59] <macogw> natlinuxnewb: use ccsm to turn off wobbly windows and keep cube or whatever you want
[21:59] <natlinuxnewb> macogw:  whats  cube?
[21:59] <Jack_Sparrow> kbrooks: That sounds more like the video card in a laptop than a monitor

[22:25] <bruenig> gui for apache?
[22:25] <bruenig> just edit the files....

[22:26] <nasamo> can anybody help me with my firestarter problem?
[22:27] <usr13> nasamo: State your problem
[22:28] <danand> natlinuxnewb - Samba is an application that allows you to connect to your linux box and view files etc from a windows machine over a network. ie it is a file server. linux can read ntfs (windows) filesystems but not the other way round. you don't need nfs or samba to view files that are located on different disks on the same machine
[22:28] <nasamo> usr13: it keeps saying that the eth1 isn't ready
[22:29] <natlinuxnewb> danand: How do you mean?

[22:40] <soundray> nasamo: you don't need firestarter unless you want to route network traffic for other computers.
[22:40] <soundray> nasamo: ubuntu does not open any network ports by default, so you are safe without configuring the firewall.
[22:41] <usr13> nasamo: soundray Or, unless you need to block ports that you don't want exposed to outside.

[22:41] <nasamo> saoundray: is that to share my internet connection

[22:43] <luisgmarine_> Anyone mind guiding me to the right spot to improve sound from my speakers?  My laptop is putting out sounds that are way too low.  I know they can go higher.   All speakers are at max.
[22:43] <danand> natlinuxnewb - your filesystem on ubuntu (if you did a default install) is ext3 file system. you can access this from windows using a tool downloadable at http://www.fs-driver.org/. Take a look at this first though ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1126732 ), and read the FAQ on the http://www.fs-driver.org/ page.

[22:56] <soulburner> sounds normal to me

[22:58] <soundray> darwich: graphics cards are notoriously bad at saving power. As soon as you enter 3D mode (by loading the driver), it powers the GPU for 3D mode, even if you only use 2D. There is no load-dependent voltage or frequency stepping for the GPU like there is for CPUs.

[23:01] <Drk_Guy> Never heard of that concept
[23:01] <Marti1> me either so cant help there :(
[23:01] <mallockilx> :( usb speakers have thier own soundcard within the usb.. basically your problem is that you have two sound cards and multiple sound card daemons.
[23:01] <tgm4883> jonnymac, probably need to change the audio device that it is using
[23:01] <Drk_Guy> Maybe alsa got it like a soundcard
[23:01] <PiousMinion> I went against my better judgment and installed ubuntu again.  Waaay too buggy for me. I'm going back to debian. good luck peeps

[23:02] <MercyFallout> I'm having problems installing ubuntu.
[23:02] <epax> Do i need to have any antivirus protection on ubuntu if i have windows xp installed on Virtual box?
[23:03] <crimsun_> jonnymac: e.g., your usb audio device is not the default audio device (index 0)
[23:03] <Drk_Guy> jonnymac, which devices does the sound admin list?
[23:03] <Capital86> I want to install object dock but I don't know how. I very new to Linux. I have ubuntu 7.10 64bit
[23:03] <nickrud> epax: no, but you can consider one inside your xp vm
[23:03] <Drk_Guy> epax, no
[23:03] <LjL> epax: not unless your VirtualBox can access the Ubuntu filesystem
[23:03] <jonnymac> USB speakers
[23:03] <jonnymac> I changed the device in the top toolbar
[23:03] <MercyFallout> Rather, I just finished installing ubuntu but when I tried to load up, I get this error "error recieving uevent message: no buffer space available" when it gets to "loading hardware drivers"
[23:04] <epax> LjL: It can't use ubutntu file system and i have installed one antivirus in XP
[23:04] <Drk_Guy> jonnymac, i think you need to config alsa to ignore your pci (?) sound card
[23:04] <crimsun_> jonnymac: neither vlc nor Firefox use GStreamer and thus will not be affected by GNOME's gconf settings
[23:04] <LjL> epax: then there is no reason to install anything.
[23:04] <crimsun_> jonnymac: in that case, you likely want to use the "asoundconf" utility.
[23:04] <Drk_Guy> epax: still you have AVG ;)
[23:04] <MercyFallout> Is there anyway for me to switch back to my standard OS?
[23:04] <soundray> Capital86: it's normally best to install software from ubuntu packages, especially if you're a beginner. Object Dock doesn't come packaged for ubunt at the moment. You could just familiarize yourself with the system as it is, and get to the more advanced stuff (like installing unpackaged software) later
[23:04] <jonnymac> ok I'll prob. be able to find stuff on ALSA on the web
[23:05] <epax> Drk_Guy: I have avg on win
[23:05] <fdsajfdjk> how can i force apt to download multiple files simultaneously?
[23:05] <mallockilx> is thier a baseinstall script like they have in debian?
[23:05] <epax> LjL: So i dont need anything in my ubuntu?
[23:05] <cmueller> i can't wait for xfi's to work finally:/
[23:05] <fdsajfdjk> it would be much faster if it didnt download one at a time, especially when the source is slow for one file
[23:05] <crimsun_> jonnymac: it can be as simple as using "asoundconf list" and choosing the appropriate device to pass to "asoundconf set-default-card"
[23:05] <Drk_Guy> epax, Avg is available for win and lin
[23:05] <nickrud> fdsajfdjk: list more than one on the command line
[23:05] <Drk_Guy> :)
[23:05] <crimsun_> jonnymac: then logging out of GNOME and back in
[23:05] <LjL> epax: ... no?
[23:05] <Pricey> fdsajfdjk, it will download multiple files at once automatically
[23:05] <MercyFallout> Is there a way for me to switch back to my preinstalled OS?
[23:05] <fdsajfdjk> nickrud i just did that, it still did one at a time
[23:05] <epax> LjL: Ok
[23:05] <Capital86> I'm not that big of a noob. I just need to know how.
[23:06] <epax> Drk_Guy: thnx
[23:06] <nickrud> fdsajfdjk: you mean simultaneous downloads then
[23:06] <fdsajfdjk> it always downloads one at time, thus keeping my connection unmaxed
[23:06] <Drk_Guy> for nothing epax
[23:06] <fdsajfdjk> thats what i said nickrud
[23:06] <MercyFallout> >.>
[23:06] <Drk_Guy> Avg is the only antivirus for linux
[23:06] <MercyFallout> <.<
[23:06] <LjL> MercyFallout: do you still have it installed?
[23:06] <Drk_Guy> althought it aint OS
[23:06] <Pricey> Drk_Guy, no it isn't

[23:06] <mindframe-> swapon: /dev/mapper/klx-swap_1: Invalid argument

[23:06] <Pricey> Drk_Guy, clamav as an example
[23:06] <MercyFallout> LjL, I have just finished isntalling Ubuntu but it won't let me on Ubuntu.

[23:06] <epax> Drk_Guy: For information about avg that i can use in ubuntu as well... but i'll leave it as it is
[23:06] <Drk_Guy> I mean, real time
[23:06] <MercyFallout> Gives me some kinda error when I try to boot it up.
[23:06] <seeitcoming> MercyFallout: How do you mean?
[23:06] <Drk_Guy> Not only sacn
[23:07] <Drk_Guy> Anyway, gotta go, later guys

[23:07] <jonnymac> alright will try that, that. Remember to help your local friendly Ubuntly challenged - it's a worthy cause thank you:)
[23:07] <fdsajfdjk> so is there any way to modify apt so that it'll download at least five files simultaneously?
[23:07] <LjL> MercyFallout, if you have instructed the installer to keep your old OS, you should still be able to boot into it from the boot menu (if you don't see a boot menu, press Esc just before Ubuntu starts loading)
[23:08] <Capital86> Thanks for the link. I have compiz fusion already. Does it come with that?
[23:08] <kbrooks> fdsajfdjk, why?
[23:09] <siloko> hi - how do i search within files for a particular string?
[23:09] <kbrooks> brb
[23:09] <fdsajfdjk> kbrooks so that i can max my connection
[23:09] <LjL> fdsajfdjk, the download speed is limited by how much bandwidth there is between the mirror you're downloading from and yourself - not by how many connections you open with that mirror
[23:09] <nickrud> fdsajfdjk: the apt config options are explained in /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz , I'm not seeing it there. But I just skimmed it
[23:09] <kbrooks> fdsajfdjk, not sure, but apt does do 2 at times
[23:09] <LjL> siloko: man grep
[23:09] <seeitcoming> siloko: Depends what kind of files. Tracker is good for things in your home directory, but grep is more powerful
[23:10] <kbrooks> fdsajfdjk, unsure how
[23:10] <fdsajfdjk> ljl it would still be faster with simultaneous connections to the same mirror, but even if it didnt, i should be able to do it when there is more than one mirror
[23:10] <fdsajfdjk> nickrud thanks ill check that out
[23:10] <siloko> LjL: with nautilus?
[23:11] <LjL> fdsajfdjk, i really don't see how it would be faster with a single mirror - but yeah, with several it might. however you'd need APT to be smart enough to schedule downloads so that different mirrors are used at any given time
[23:11] <LjL> siloko: no idea
