[03:47] <Karlprof> Zanga, if the CD isn't bootable, the computer will boot from the second boot option (his hard drive), so there's no harm in trying.
[03:47] <jalapenopuzzle> Has anyone here got the MythWeb package working with MythTV on Ubuntu?
[03:47] <Plitskin> Newbieee - That's the thing to do then :)
[03:48] <Newbieee> Nero 6 <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:48] <Karlprof> Ompaul! <3 Good to see a famaliar face. (Although you probably don't know me.)
[03:48] <Newbieee> Yes Karlporf every time is booting the second option Fron HDD
[03:48] <ompaul> I do
[03:48] <Zanga> Newbieee, i don`t know right now coz i`m in linux , try searching , in nero Burn bootable cd
[03:48] <ompaul> Karlprof,  I do
[03:49] <Plitskin> Zanga - You should burn it as bootable, I guess...
[03:49] <roadkill> howdy, does anybody know how to disable SCIM for one user only?
[03:49] <roadkill> or where it's enabled anyways?
[03:49] <Newbieee> Then the probelm is how to burn that ubuntu.rar bootable...
[03:49] <Plitskin> but most times, you only need to select the "burn image" option
[03:49] <Zanga> Plitskin , for shore , if it`s not burned that way , it will boot from the hdd
[03:49] <Plitskin> Newbieee - what's inside the RAR file anyway?
[03:50] <Plitskin> is it .RAR or .ISO that has a winrar Icon?
[03:50] <roadkill> I mean, when I install it, it gets enabled right away, but none of the environment variables like GTK_IM_MODULE or XMODIFIERS are set at all
[03:50] <Plitskin> Zanga - Yes
[03:50] <Zanga> Newbieee , wait 2 min i`m restarting in win and ill tell u exactly were burn bootable cd is OK ??
[03:51] <Karlprof> Anyway, anyone know the command to mount as 777 instead of the default 755?
[03:52] <Plitskin> here's how to burn an image with Nero...
[03:52] <gnomefreak> Karlprof: man chmod
[03:52] <Plitskin> http://www.wizardskeep.org/mainhall/tutor/neroiso.html
[03:52] <Plitskin> I think this is Nero 5
[03:53] <Newbieee> a
[03:53] <_jason> Karlprof: what filesystem?
[03:53] <Karlprof> vfat
[03:53] <Plitskin> how does Mac filesystem differ from that of Linux when both are Unix based?
[03:53] <_jason> Karlprof: if you are mounting from cli, just add -o umask=0000
[03:54] <MisterN> cu
[03:54] <Newbieee> Heloo...
[03:54] <chmod775> hi
[03:55] <jalapenopuzzle> I've got a wierd problem with mythweb. When I load up the mythweb page, I get a Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/includes/init.php on line 54
[03:55] <Zanga> Newbieee, do u have that thing nero start smart ???
[03:55] <Karlprof> mount /dev/hda1 /windows/ -o umask=7777
[03:55] <Karlprof>  <-- Like that?
[03:56] <Karlprof> (Didn't work when I tried it, went to default 755)
[03:56] <thoreauputic> Karlprof: if you do that the system will think all your files are executable...
[03:56] <Zanga> Karlprof , this is the command for mounting the hdd`s from win ??
[03:56] <_jason> Karlprof: no, with 0000 if you want everything 777
[03:56] <ompaul> 777 for ntfs is a bad idea
[03:56] <Newbieee> I was disconected..
[03:57] <thoreauputic> ah sorry - umask
[03:57] <Zanga> Newbieee, do u have that thing nero start smart ??
[03:57] <Karlprof> Ompaul, my Windows partition is vfat
[03:57] <thoreauputic> Karlprof: sorry umask 777 blocks everyhting
[03:57] <Newbieee> Zanga Could you please tell me that option in Nero to burn bootable disc?
[03:57] <thoreauputic> I had it backwards
[03:57] <Zanga> Newbie , do u have Nero start smart on u`r desktop ??
[03:58] <Zanga> Newbieee, do u have nero start smart ??
[03:58] <moogman> Hey, I'm trying to start a gnome nibbles network game, but hte options are greyed out. Which package do I need to install to add this funcitonality?
[03:58] <Karlprof> Hmm
[03:58] <pjv> anyone here use gdesklets?
[03:58] <Frogzoo> here's a question: is it possible to invert the screen on a laptop?
[03:58] <gnomefreak> Newbieee: in the settings you need to make it burn iso if trying to burn ubuntu
[03:59] <Frogzoo> pjv: they suck too many cycles/mem & are too buggy for my taste - but fun to try
[03:59] <_jason> Karlprof: the way umask works is you start with 777 and then you mask parts.  So umask of 025 will give you 777-025 = 752 permissions
[03:59] <Karlprof> Oooh!
[03:59] <Karlprof> So umask=000...
[03:59] <Karlprof> ... Yay, worked.
[03:59] <Zanga> how do i make linux recognize my ntfs partitions ??
[04:00] <thoreauputic> !ntfs
[04:00] <ubotu> somebody said ntfs was the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[04:00] <moogman> I can run games-server.py and thats fine, but the other two options are greyed out :(
[04:00] <Karlprof> Thank you, _jason. You're awesomer than something really awesome.
[04:00] <pjv> Frogzoo: yeah it seems like it. you don't happen to know how i can add a gnome start menu in a gdesklet do you?
[04:00] <Blippe> Zanga, you mount it according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[04:00] <Zanga> Blippe , thanx
[04:00] <_jason> Karlprof: ha np
[04:01] <Frogzoo> pjv: nope, soz
[04:02] <pjv> it's aight
[04:02] <hawaisurf> I am trying to erase one directory on my desktop but still doesnt work...the problem is that I dont have permission to erase as owner shows that is the root...
[04:02] <pjv> Frogzoo: I'm just trying to switch from kde to gnome
[04:02] <Zanga> can someone explain how to play mp3`s in linux ??
[04:02] <_jason> !mp3
[04:02] <ubotu> I heard mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[04:03] <BludY> hello
[04:03] <_jason> hawaisurf: do you know how to use the terminal?
[04:03] <gnomefreak> hawaisurf: use sudo before the command
[04:03] <Blippe> hawaisurf, there is a command called chown, you could use it the terminal!
[04:03] <Zanga> _jason, thanx
[04:03] <hawaisurf> yes
[04:03] <hawaisurf> ok...
[04:03] <robinmdh> hello, I'm trying to make ubuntu multiSeated, i have somhow made my keyboard sprout nonsense(onely in X) after changing the keyboard Option "Device" setting to "/dev/input/event0" (to filter multiple inputs to multiple sessions) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:04] <robinmdh> can some1 tell me wath it used to be? or how to fix it?
[04:04] <hawaisurf> thx for the tip
[04:05] <Zanga> _jason , someone told me to edit some setings in administrator or preferences , since i just now finished installing linux , do u know what i am talking abot ??
[04:06] <_jason> Zanga: what settings?
[04:06] <arrick> How do I change my password for my nickname?
[04:06] <Zanga> _jason , somthing abot non free
[04:06] <Zanga> or somthing like that
[04:06] <Blippe> robinmdh, i'm pretty sure you don't need a option "device" if you use the "driver" "kbd"...
[04:06] <arrick> How do I start Gnome after I install it?
[04:06] <_jason> Zanga: I don't really know what settings you are talking about, most of the non-free stuff is explained on that wiki page about mp3's
[04:07] <Blippe> arrick, you change password by typing in passw when you are logged in in the terminal
[04:07] <arrick> ok thank you
[04:07] <robinmdh> Blippe, ah, but i want to filter multiple devices to difrent X session
[04:07] <robinmdh> Blippe, diferent driver then?
[04:07] <Zanga> _jason , after i try installing that thing from wiki page it says that E:couldet find what i just downloded
[04:08] <arrick> Do I start gnome by typing in startg?
[04:08] <_jason> Zanga: can you pastebin the commands and output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ ?
[04:08] <Blippe> robinmdh, i thought you wanted to revert to how it was before....
[04:08] <Blippe> arrick, no startx
[04:08] <robinmdh> yes, and no :)
[04:09] <Newbieee> Heloo there still anyone here?
[04:09] <Blippe> arrick, it should start by itself on a new install
[04:09] <BludY> Hello, i have 1 problem
[04:09] <BludY> can you help me?
[04:09] <BludY> ?
[04:09] <arrick> Blippe: I already have xubuntu on here, will it cause problems?
[04:09] <_jason> BludY: just ask, if someone knows they will try :)
[04:09] <Blippe> BludY, we don't now until you've asked your question, do we?
[04:09] <BludY> ok
[04:10] <BludY> i have problem with sound
[04:10] <kung> hi
[04:10] <_jason> !enter
[04:10] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[04:10] <kung> anyone got dapper + kernel 2.6.16 + nvidia-drivers running?
[04:10] <Blippe> arrick, none at all, gdm (that is the loginmanager both uses) will have an option the choose between xfce and gnome
[04:10] <arrick> ok thanks
[04:10] <gnomefreak> kung: yes and please use #ubuntu+1 for dapper talk
[04:10] <robinmdh> Blippe, I'll try a difernt driver they mentionfdev in the guide i was following as kb driver so .. hopefully i just missed that
[04:10] <_jason> !dapper
[04:10] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[04:11] <BludY> i have install Skype and i try to speak with my friend...skype work corretly, i listen and speak. But when i try to listen system sound i dont listen it...
[04:11] <BludY> why?
[04:11] <Blippe> BludY, that is probably because your soundcard don't support hardware mixing, and you don't have softwaremixing turned on
[04:12] <BludY> but in first install the sound system work corretly!!!
[04:12] <BludY> i dont understand why now dont work
[04:12] <Blippe> BludY, listen to what ubotu is going to tell you
[04:12] <Blippe> !dmix
[04:12] <ubotu> well, dmix is first try system>prefrences>multimedia system selector change it to alsa. for oss application type aoss <appl name> if still have problems then http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[04:12] <Zanga> how can i see what operating sistem do i have ??
[04:13] <kbrooks> Zanga, do ou have ubuntu?
[04:13] <Zanga> yes
[04:13] <khatun> hi, anyone have an idea what could cause a black screen / total freeze when trying to logout/shutdown? it happens with fglrx (8.23.7) but not with ati-driver. i see "(EE) fglrx(0): CAIL: CAILResetAndInitializeGUI, error 1" and "(EE) fglrx(0): failed to destroy server context" in xorg logfile, not sure if they anything to do with this though
[04:13] <_jason> Zanga: that's your operating system, ubuntu
[04:13] <Paradoxx>
[04:13] <Blippe> BludY, the programmers of skype have forced the use of a oss.. it screws up everything...
[04:13] <Zanga> _jason , ineed to know what version
[04:13] <nlogax> lol at _Jason  :-)
[04:13] <_jason> Zanga: lsb_release -a
[04:13] <arrick> 5.1
[04:14] <BludY> ok
[04:14] <rapha> Help!
[04:14] <Zanga> _jason , i have 5.04 , how can i make it 6.06 ??
[04:14] <Paradoxx> Does any1 know how to transfer pictures to an ipod nano?
[04:15] <Blippe> Zanga, yes you can, but it is in beta stages!
[04:15] <_jason> Zanga: 6.06 is still in development, are you sure you want to do that?  5.10 is current stable
[04:15] <rapha> I just said "for i in Documents Websites Other Important Stuff; do tar cvjf $i.tar.bz2 $i && rm -rf $i" in my homedir and now it's ALL GONE! That command is not SUPPOSED to delete the .tar.bz2's!??!
[04:15] <Bjerrk> Hi. I'm running Dapper Drake Flight 5 right now, and i'm trying out XGL. It works fine, but it lags a lot sometimes. When moving windows it's very smooth, but when i let go of them again it lags a lot. Also when i resize windows it lags terribly.
[04:15] <Zanga> _jason , then how do i update to 5.10 ??
[04:15] <Chousuke> rapha: :|
[04:15] <Blippe> Bjerrk, dapper is at #ubuntu+1
[04:15] <arrick> I need to add a new printer to my system, how do I do this?
[04:16] <gymsmoke> could someone here enlighten me as to why this doesn't work as expected? http://pastebin.com/623193
[04:16] <gnomefreak> Bjerrk: #ubuntu+1 please for dapper and #ubuntu-xgl for xgl
[04:16] <_jason> ubotu: tell Zanga about breezy
[04:16] <Bjerrk> ty, gnomefreak
[04:16] <Chousuke> rapha: you shouldn't have included rm -rf in that.
[04:16] <rapha> Chousuke: I _tried_ the command with unimportant data before and it did _not_ remove the .tar.bz2's.
[04:16] <Blippe> Zanga, you first make sure you have the system totally updated!
[04:16] <rapha> Chousuke: I know... that was lazyness :-(
[04:16] <Paradoxx> How do I add pictures to my ipod nano?
[04:16] <Yoric> hi
[04:16] <jalapenopuzzle> Hmmm... solved my mythweb problem. Turned out I had to re-start apache2.
[04:16] <Yoric> Ok, now that I'm under dapper, SMP works.
[04:16] <Yoric> Next problem is WiFi.
[04:17] <gnomefreak> Yoric: dapper = #ubuntu+1
[04:17] <Blippe> Zanga, then you open up the file /etc/apt/sources.list and change everything that says hoary to breezy, and save the file!
[04:17] <Yoric> With ndiswrapper, I get undefined symbols.
[04:17] <Yoric> ok gnomefreak
[04:17] <Blippe> Zanga, then you update again!
[04:17] <kingspawn> rapha: that would recurse like crazy. it finds the .tar.bz2-file, packs that one, deletes it, and in the end, everything is gone
[04:17] <Yoric> But then, since I had the exact same problem before updating to dapper, I guess I can ask the question here, too.
[04:18] <netman1> Who's got good experience with a particular linux softphone?
[04:18] <gnomefreak> Yoric: you are using dapper now please stick with #ubuntu+1
[04:18] <Yoric> gnomefreak, noted
[04:18] <rapha> kingspawn: Why would that find the .tar.bz2-file? It wasn't given. The loop didn't go through "*", it went through only a specified set of directories...
[04:18] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: you mean, like it says in the "topic" ?
[04:18] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: yes
[04:19] <Plitskin[2] > Is it ok to order the Ubuntu CD now?
[04:20] <gymsmoke> anyone tried recompiling gftp to get ssl/tls support built?
[04:20] <kingspawn> rapha: i might have misread. but still, doesnt it put the bz2 file into the directory you delete?
[04:20] <ssam> Plitskin, you probably wont get it for a month
[04:20] <Karlprof> gah
[04:20] <Frogzoo> Plitskin: dapper wan't be released till june you know?
[04:20] <Plitskin> uhmmm... Sorry I didn't know...
[04:20] <rapha> kingspawn: nope, it puts them into the directory it is run from.
[04:20] <Plitskin> that's good to hear since I don't wanna be re-installing anytime soon...
[04:21] <rapha> kingspawn: I also tried with made up data beforehand.
[04:21] <Karlprof> Is there any way to stop it asking for authentification when I try to access the network?
[04:21] <_jason> rapha: yeah I don't see how the archives get deleted...
[04:21] <rapha> _jason: I mean, it must have gone somewhere then?
[04:21] <Frogzoo> Plitskin: when dapper does release, just upgrade, don't reinstall
[04:22] <kingspawn> rapha: hm, okay
[04:22] <Plitskin> Frogzoo I don't have internet in my Ubuntu
[04:22] <zooXXX> can you upgrade from 32 to 64 bit distribution ?
[04:23] <Plitskin> is it possible to upgrade with just the CD?
[04:23] <_jason> rapha: they should be in the directory you ran it from like you said
[04:23] <claudiu> hi all

[04:26] <Zanga> hmmmm

[04:26] <Zanga> ??
[04:27] <robinmdh> Blippe, how would i ket the evdev driver? compile my own kernell? becouse the kbd driver would not allow me to filter the keyboards to diferent sessions
[04:27] <claudiu> Zanga: sa nu ne arunce astia afara ca vb romana
[04:27] <obli> !xorg
[04:27] <ubotu> from memory, xorg is To reconfigure your X server, type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" in a terminal, or check here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto or here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-83973.html
[04:27] <Zanga> claudiu intra pe ubuntu-ro
[04:27] <claudiu> okay Zanga
[04:28] <neo911> i get the following when i ping a remote network address "PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data." what does the 56(84) mean?
[04:28] <obli> btdown: It says xserver-org isn't installed
[04:29] <btdown> Hrm..try installing it? or maybe if you install gnome-desktop or something it will pull itin
[04:29] <Karlprof> What's a WINS server?
[04:29] <obli> will it reset my settings?
[04:29] <gymsmoke> btdown: from my experience with other distros, xorg and gnome are installed separately
[04:30] <Karlprof> Anyone? It's in 'Windows Sharing Settings'
[04:30] <useruser> how do i get rid of the "updates available" icon in the icon bar in gnome without updating?
[04:30] <gymsmoke> btdown: x is the server, gnome is the desktop environment
[04:30] <obli> well, how about installing x, then?
[04:31] <obli> or reinstalling it
[04:31] <yacc> When will Dapper be released?
[04:31] <yacc> dapper?
[04:31] <gymsmoke> yacc: june, 06
[04:31] <gnomefreak> yacc: june 1
[04:31] <Seveas> jun1 1
[04:31] <claudiu> EMRGENCY i applied some things i read, and now it takes forever to mount the floppy
[04:31] <btdown> I figured gnome would see it as a dependency and pull it in
[04:31] <pekuja> will Dapper be 06.04 or 06.06, by the way?
[04:31] <Plitskin> mount /mnt/floppy
[04:31] <Plitskin> something like that?
[04:31] <Seveas> pekuja, 6.06 or 6-06
[04:31] <robinmdh> anyone? how would i ket the evdev(or another keyboard driver) driver? compile my own kernell? becouse the kbd driver would not allow me to filter the keyboards to diferent Xsessions od does it but i'm doing it wrong? could use some help!
[04:32] <Blippe> robinmdh, evdev should be supportet... /it was on hoary)
[04:32] <Seveas> robinmdh, the evdev driver is in the standard kernel
[04:32] <obli> !xserv
[04:32] <ubotu> Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, obli
[04:32] <Plitskin> btdown: try mount /dev/floppy
[04:33] <pekuja> Seveas: ok. I guess it wouldn't have made any sense for it to be 6.04 anyways. why 6-06 (with the dash) though?
[04:33] <robinmdh> Blippe, u sure i tried got an error, I'll trie without specifying the device first (it wors ok without device with kbd btw, so thx already)
[04:33] <btdown> Claudio try mount /dev/floppy
[04:33] <Seveas> pekuja, because lots of peple find .04 and .10 too confusing
[04:33] <Seveas> pekuja, that decision still needs to be taken
[04:34] <pekuja> Seveas: ok
[04:34] <Frogzoo> so, um, is 6-06 officially on time, or 6 weeks late?
[04:34] <Plitskin> btdown: uh... you weren't you the one asking?
[04:34] <rapha> _jason: here's a direct paste of the command: "for i in Dokumentation/ Dokumente/ Geschreibsel/ Herrenberger\ Bhne/ Hintergrnde/ Johanna/ Kindergeld/ Templates/ Tu-Thn/; do tar cvjf $i.tar.bz2 $i && rm -rf $i; done"
[04:34] <btdown> negative...
[04:35] <robinmdh> Blippe, i keep getting no input driver named "evdev"
[04:35] <Newbieee> Plitskin please tell me how I start that Cd-Live
[04:35] <Toma-> 6-06 is late, hence the name :D
[04:35] <_jason> rapha: I just ran that exact command with different names and it worked as expected.  Maybe there is a problem with the accented characters?
[04:35] <pedro> Hi
[04:35] <Frogzoo> Toma-: this is making my head hurt :(
[04:35] <Toma-> huhu
[04:35] <Plitskin> Newbieee: You finished burning?
[04:35] <jetscreamer> evdev is a kernel module you modprobe it
[04:36] <rapha> _jason: I thought of something like that as well. But that would only affect these files then, wouldn't it?
[04:36] <dinamizador> hola
[04:36] <_jason> rapha: maybe the space messed it up too
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> Hello.
[04:36] <Toma-> anyone installed win2k on ubuntu? the #qemu people told me some extra IDE DMA patches are installed that messes up the installing of windows 2k
[04:36] <Blippe> robinmdh, i've never tried getting it to work myself, which guide are you following?
[04:36] <Toma-> s/ubuntu/qemu
[04:36] <Zanga> Newieee, vb mah pe canalu ala rom
[04:36] <_jason> rapha: but if the command failed, the rm shouldn't have run... I don't know
[04:36] <Plitskin> btdown: sorry I got confused
[04:36] <Frogzoo> Toma-: np with XP if that counts
[04:36] <Toma-> Frogzoo: nop :(
[04:36] <Toma-> actually, i couldnt get XP to install
[04:37] <btdown> plitskin no worries... happens to me all the time
[04:37] <Frogzoo> Toma-: go for kqemu - it's quicker anyhow
[04:37] <Toma-> some silly auithentication error... i think its because i disabled all networking in it
[04:37] <Plitskin> Newbieee: What's your status there?
[04:37] <rapha> _jason: well, thanks :-( ... I'll ask the guys in #bash if they know anything.
[04:37] <gymsmoke> anyone here upgraded to firefox 1.5 ?
[04:37] <Toma-> !ff1.5
[04:37] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[04:38] <pucko-> what's is the difference between universe and multiverse?
[04:38] <Frogzoo> Toma-: yep - had the same problem, but kqemu worked like a charm
[04:38] <robinmdh> Blippe, just a mo different pc
[04:38] <ruzgar> i cant use my scanner?
[04:38] <f8> how do i log into ubuntu so that i don't hve to enter the admin password for stuff?
[04:38] <Frogzoo> !tell gymsmoke about ff1.5
[04:38] <Toma-> Frogzoo: kqemu isnt in the repos tho...
[04:38] <ruzgar> xsane gives i/o error
[04:38] <hawaisurf> xmms support mp3?
[04:38] <Frogzoo> Toma-: correct - it's proprietary
[04:38] <Frogzoo> !kqemu
[04:38] <ruzgar> is there anohter scanners for ubuntu?
[04:38] <Toma-> hawaisurf: yep
[04:38] <Nolt> hi
[04:39] <_jason> rapha: ha yeah I just tried with your directory names and ended up with only the Herr.. directory surviving
[04:39] <Frogzoo> !tell Toma- about kqemu
[04:39] <obli> Anyone got any idea on how to reinstall the x server? that dpkg thing didn't work
[04:39] <gymsmoke> that ubotu function is very cool!!!
[04:39] <Frogzoo> info kqmeu
[04:39] <hawaisurf> Toma: ok then I have a problem because I have mp3 files and xmms cannot play 'em
[04:39] <Toma-> sigh. windows me disk is scratched, windows 2000 has a bug with qemu and xp wont run right. why cant they just be simple, like linux? :D
[04:40] <Toma-> hawaisurf: have you enabled the mp3 plugin?
[04:40] <jetscreamer> !w32codecs
[04:40] <ubotu> from memory, w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[04:40] <hawaisurf> Toma: mm I dont know how I have to do that?
[04:40] <_jason> rapha: I know what happened, and it's bad... still around?
[04:41] <Toma-> hawaisurf: Ctrl+P then click the MPEG 1/2/3 player plugin and then click Enable PLugin
[04:41] <jetscreamer> uh it's \ not / to esc the spaces
[04:42] <Newbieee> Plitskin I have a bootable disc with ubuntu5.10 but when it starts begin in something like dos...
[04:42] <pucko-> !multiverse

[04:42] <robinmdh_laptop> blippe, i was following: http://blog.chris.tylers.info/index.php?/archives/14-Multiseat-X-Under-X11R6.97.0.html
[04:43] <Nolt> hey i have question about d4x . why when my donload is finished i have two same files
[04:43] <Nolt> ??
[04:44] <hawaisurf> Toma: I can play it with Rythmbox player but I cannot open the mp3 file with the XMMS...
[04:44] <Toma-> hawaisurf: Ctrl+P then click the MPEG 1/2/3 player plugin and then click Enable PLugin
[04:44] <obli> Is there any partial reinstall options available if I pop the install CD into the CD-ROM?
[04:44] <obli> I really need x to start working again >:(
[04:44] <truz24> hawaisurf, also, try changing your output plugin to alsa
[04:44] <useruser> what's the difference between the ubuntu live cd and gnoppix?
[04:44] <truz24> hawaisurf, in xmms
[04:45] <hawaisurf> ok Ill try it right away..
[04:45] <Toma-> useruser: theyre both debian based, but ubuntu live is based of *drum roll* ubuntu, and gnop[pix is based of knoppix
[04:45] <robinmdh> Blippe, do you think i need to update the Xorg version?
[04:45] <useruser> Toma-: hm, i read that gnoppix is based on ubuntu
[04:46] <Toma-> useruser: haha... nope
[04:46] <Toma-> at least as far as i know
[04:46] <useruser> Toma-: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Linux#Unofficial_derivatives
[04:46] <introvert> "Harder!" stammered the large tongued construction worker as the rabid archduke mouthed her heaving lungs and inserted his serpentine stump into her ravenous navel.
[04:46] <Toma-> gnoppix has been out for yeeeears
[04:47] <Toma-> long because ubuntu was at 5.04
[04:47] <Toma-> or even 4.10
[04:48] <useruser> Toma-: but look at www.gnoppix.org. Gnoppix is a linux live cd based upon Ubuntu .
[04:49] <neighborhoodNerd> yep, useruser is right
[04:49] <Toma-> maybe gnoppix was the birthplace of ubuntu?
[04:49] <Zanga> Tanathos , were u from ??
[04:49] <useruser> anyway, i'm curious about the differences between the two
[04:50] <twopeak> is there anyone who can help me to nullify an external disk with dd?
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> gnoppix was a Knoppix variant. but then the guy changed to using Ubuntu as his base for his livecd.
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> Nullify? :P this aint startrek!
[04:50] <Toma-> ahh. there you have it
[04:50] <fek> moin
[04:50] <TANATHOS> !u
[04:50] <ubotu> The letter 'U' is not a pronoun, unless you're Dutch.   Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[04:51] <Toma-> Xeonwales: mencoder or avidemux
[04:53] <twopeak> I would like to set each bit of my disk to zero, so mac os x would accept my disk as ablank disk
[04:53] <Toma-> i wish you could save as asf in linux :( would make my life so easy
[04:53] <Toma-> twopeak: read the "man dd" page?
[04:53] <Xeonwales> thnax
[04:54] <Toma-> twopeak: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/toyourharddrive
[04:54] <Toma-> do that about 10 times to get a phresh disk :)
[04:55] <twopeak> ~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1
[04:55] <twopeak> dd: opening `/dev/sda1': Permission denied
[04:55] <Toma-> you will need to add sudo to the start of that
[04:55] <twopeak> I guess this means my disk is phisically broken? (sda1 exists, i checked)
[04:55] <Toma-> blanking disks isnt something the average user should do
[04:55] <NigelS> twopeak: permission denied as an error is usually a pretty big hint as to the problem
[04:55] <Toma-> eg. sudo dd
[04:56] <Toma-> *sigh* installing xp is such a drag.
[04:56] <twopeak> The problem with the disk is that it was formated in hfs+; but macosx stopped recognizing it. Gpart can't do anything with the disk, saying it's read only
[04:57] <NigelS> Toma-: :)
[04:57] <Toma-> twopeak: dont worry about that.
[04:57] <Toma-> twopeak: 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1' will end your disks life with a stream of zeros
[04:58] <f8> what pakage can i download to something comprable to "control center" of debian?
[04:58] <twopeak> this means that it will become a blank disk, and i should be able to reformat it, right?
[04:58] <Toma-> twopeak: yep
[04:59] <arut> good day everybody
[04:59] <NigelS> has anyone else been reading with mirth this /.'ed thread? -> http://minimsft.blogspot.com/2006/03/vista-2007-fire-leadership-now.html
[04:59] <Toma-> wow! "Windows Movie Maker makes it easy and fun to capture, create and share home movies"
[04:59] <hawaisurf> Toma: I did that you told me in xmms with the pluggins if you remmember me....now is partially working but I hear the mp3 file just with a kinda noise not hearing the song....you know why?
[04:59] <jetscreamer> f8 you mean like gnome-control-center? apt-get install gnome-control-center
[04:59] <NigelS> Toma-: yep, George Lucas took them up on that offer too! :)
[04:59] <Dr_Willis> Toma-:  when it works. :P
[04:59] <Toma-> NigelS: hhahaha
[05:00] <Zanga> !mp3
[05:00] <ubotu> from memory, mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:00] <f8> thanks jet, i got gnome control center, it just seems like i had more power over stuff with debian...

[05:00] <robinmdh> i want to install a newer version of X11 (6.9 or 7.0) but witch pacage do i apt-get ?
[05:01] <Toma-> hawaisurf: i dont understand :/
[05:01] <robinmdh> and how do i make sure it also includes the newer versions, or should i download it separately
[05:01] <GTX> Is there any voip software for ubuntu?
[05:01] <Toma-> robinmdh: xorg7 is in dapper, id suggest waiting
[05:01] <Toma-> GTX: yep
[05:01] <NigelS> GTX: yeah; which protocol?
[05:01] <GTX> NigelS, dont have a clue im new to this, I just signed up for an account with sipgate
[05:01] <hawaisurf> Toma: I just hear that kinda noise when you have no tunde any radiostation....really strange..
[05:02] <hawaisurf> Toma: no tunned.... I ment...
[05:02] <robinmdh> Toma-, can't wait, no realy ...
[05:02] <NigelS> GTX: ok, there are some software SIP clients for linux out there - the new name for gnomemeeting is Ekiga, and that can now do SIP but it's not in breezy afaik - you could try that if you can install it (it is in dapper or go to their site) there are some other software SIP clients too
[05:03] <Toma-> robinmdh: well install flight 5 and pray to god that it doesnt destroy your system
[05:03] <GTX> NigelS, Im on dapper :)
[05:03] <Toma-> hawaisurf: like, noise?
[05:03] <Newbieee> !install
[05:03] <ubotu> Installing Ubuntu? See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation Installing software on Ubuntu? See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingSoftware

[05:04] <Yoric> Does anyone have any suggestion on how to get ndiswrapper to work when  it complains about undefined (Windows) symbols ?
[05:04] <NigelS> GTX: then Ekiga is your thing :)
[05:04] <Toma-> hawaisurf: open up a mixer and see if you havent got PCM at 100%
[05:04] <robinmdh> Toma-, can i update to that or do i have to download a cd and reinstall my system?
[05:04] <Zanga> i need some help , when i try getting anithing from wiki it says , done and then there is a error that E:/couldent find
[05:04] <Toma-> robinmdh: you can do a dist-upgrade
[05:05] <NigelS> robinmdh: you can update to it yeah; though beware you could have problems if you've been customising your system heavily for example
[05:05] <green_earz> GTX: you could use kphone which is a sip voip client, but i would say that you would be better off looking at using a hardware sip ata, checkout grandstream, and for a good price on a grandstream sip phone check out ebay
[05:05] <hawaisurf> Toma: a mixer?
[05:05] <GTX> green_earz, Im buying a wireless voip phone soon
[05:05] <Toma-> hawaisurf: alsamixer gnome-mixer whatever
[05:05] <hawaisurf> Toma:ok

[05:07] <ubotu> My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Zanga
[05:07] <green_earz> GTX: all you need for a wireless sip voip is a ata device and a standard home wireless phone
[05:07] <GTX> green_earz, Im getting a wifi one
[05:07] <green_earz> ok
[05:07] <GTX> green_earz, Ive signed up to an account with sipgate but i have no idea how to use it on this Ekiga
[05:07] <Zanga> how can i update my ubuntu ???
[05:07] <GTX> can you help?
[05:08] <robinmdh> Toma-, NigelS, i'm updating now.. no i just instaled it awaiting heavy modification though, i want to run dualseated linux etc.. but thath's onely changes to Xorg.conf (mostely)
[05:08] <Blippe> Zanga, which version are you running now?
[05:08] <Zanga> Blippe 5.04
[05:08] <Blippe> !breezy
[05:08] <ubotu> The guide to upgrading to breezy (5.10) is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[05:08] <Blippe> Zanga,  tried : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[05:09] <robinmdh> i'm familiar enough with apt, i think
[05:09] <ssam> Zanga, is that error in synaptic or apt?
[05:09] <green_earz> GTX: have a look at setting the device up to use sip proxy
[05:10] <GTX> green_earz, Im trying it on Ekiga first
[05:13] <GTX> green_earz, ?
[05:13] <sebastian> I have installed Windows 2000 Pro inside Ubuntu Linux using VMware player.  However it's using 16 bit colours so pictures look wrong on it.  and I carn't seem to be able to change ttoo 32 bit
[05:14] <sebastian> I am not sure if that's VMware players fault of 2000
[05:14] <sebastian> or
[05:14] <sebastian> anyone know how to help me?
[05:14] <NigelS> sebastian: I think that's a question for the VMware site or their FAQ
[05:14] <sebastian> got a link for the FAQ?
[05:15] <NigelS> sebastian: yeah, it's called google

[05:17] <f8> help with error "mount point <hdd> does not exist"
[05:17] <Kezzer> I'm trying to get my mouse to work properly which requires me editing the xorg.conf but it won't let me
[05:17] <matsur> Hi all, weird problem w/ firefox on amd64... i get "cannot set locale modifiers" errors when I try and launch it. Last time this happened it cleared up on a reboot, but the same did not happen this time. Any ideas?
[05:17] <green_earz> GTX: i just had a look at what Ekiga is, its a software sip voip phone app. check out the config for "SJPhone softphone " as a template for  Ekiga >http://www.sipgate.co.uk/faq/index.php?aktion=artikel&rubrik=715&id=401&lang=de&highlight=sip%20proxy
[05:18] <NigelS> green_earz: ekiga is the new name for gnome meeting which you prob have heard of
[05:19] <Kezzer> matsur, personally I use a 32-bit version of firefox on my 64-bit edition of Ubuntu
[05:19] <matsur> Kezzer, so do I, 32 bit 1.5 and this comes up
[05:20] <Kezzer> That's odd
[05:20] <Kezzer> Anyone know why I can't do anything with xorg.conf? =D
[05:20] <robinmdh> Kezzer, are u root
[05:21] <NigelS> Kezzer: that error seems rather strange to me; is there free HD space on / ?
[05:21] <Kezzer> robinmdh, yes I'm doing it as root
[05:22] <Kezzer> NigelS, only about 18GB free ;)
[05:22] <green_earz> GTX: to get i idear of how to configure a sip setup, check out http://www.freeworlddialup.com/ for some example setups
[05:22] <NigelS> Kezzer: that's a little excessive for a / partition but that's a different issue :P Well, I guess obvious things first - the partition is not mounted read only is it?
[05:23] <Kezzer> Nope
[05:23] <Kezzer> I think it's a different problem
[05:23] <Kezzer> I thought I'd start a new terminal but alas, it won't open ;)
[05:23] <NigelS> things like that do smack of the fact that it can't write to the HD
[05:23] <NigelS> what happens if you type "touch foo"
[05:24] <Kezzer> I can't open a terminal
[05:24] <Kezzer> at all
[05:24] <NigelS> what are you typing in now? have you tried your virtual terminals?
[05:24] <Kezzer> Nope, I'm just trying to open the terminal
[05:24] <Kezzer> I'm not typing anything in now
[05:24] <Kezzer> because I can't open a terminal
[05:24] <Kezzer> so how am I meant to type anything into the terminal? ;)
[05:24] <nlogax> Kezzer, can you CTRL+ALT+F1 ?
[05:25] <NigelS> I'm talking about your IRC client nitwit :P
[05:25] <Kezzer> Ah, how do I get to a virtual terminal?
[05:25] <NigelS> have you tried the virtual terminals, e.g. ctrl-alt,? ec
[05:25] <shuveb_>  /quit
[05:25] <Kezzer> none of those are working
[05:25] <Bog_> how easy is it to setup a system to provide virtual hosting with some sort of control panel?
[05:26] <robinmdh> you could ctrl+alt+backspace to close your x session, and get a bash but you won't be on irc anymore so maybe wait b4 you leap
[05:26] <NigelS> Kezzer: not working..you just get a blank screen or you get a login prompt and it won't let you log in?
[05:26] <matthew_w> Hello, I'm having trouble getting Wine to run Google Earth, I've checked winehq.com and some wiki's for the guide.  It's basically running, because I've gotten through the troubleshooting, but it will hang/crash once the application starts.  Furthermore, there are HUNDREDS of "fixme" outputs into the terminal from which it's run.
[05:26] <Kezzer> Wait wait, I'll try a restart, wait ;)
[05:26] <NigelS> Kezzer: were you making any other kind of changes
[05:26] <tzadik> hi there
[05:27] <NigelS> Kezzer: careful, if there's some other problem and you can't write to disk you wont be able to login to gnome
[05:27] <GillesMM> hello
[05:27] <Kezzer> I can't read from disk, let alone write to it
[05:27] <tzadik> I just got a sony digital camcorder
[05:27] <GillesMM> problem here under kubuntu
[05:27] <NigelS> Kezzer: no, your error was a sudo one because it couldn';t create a file
[05:27] <tzadik> and I have no idea how to get started with it
[05:27] <NigelS> Kezzer: your error is writing
[05:27] <Kezzer> ja, everything is dead
[05:27] <Kezzer> I mean everything
[05:27] <Kezzer> I can't open any new applications
[05:27] <tzadik> i have just figured out (i think) that I need to get a video card
[05:27] <Kezzer> I can't view files or folders
[05:27] <Kezzer> i can't get into terminal
[05:28] <matthew_w> !enter
[05:28] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[05:28] <tzadik> i mean... a video capture card
[05:28] <GillesMM> when I need to enter root passwd I got a wrong pass
[05:28] <tzadik> i had thought i could use usb
[05:28] <tzadik> is it true that I need to get a capture card?
[05:28] <Kezzer> I'll try a restart ;)
[05:28] <tzadik> ieee1394 ?
[05:28] <nlogax> tzadik: does your camera have firewire (1394) or USB2 ports?
[05:29] <alan|home> hi all ! i'm not able to have my wifi card working. It's a Winbond W89C33D . ndiswrapper won't have it working since the kernel won't give it any IRQ. Does anyone know how to workaround this problem ?
[05:29] <tzadik> i think it has both
[05:29] <Bog_> does anyone know of a distro thats distributed as a vmware image?
[05:30] <tzadik> yes... both
[05:30] <tzadik> i found the ports
[05:30] <live> what's the root password in live mode?
[05:30] <tzadik> 1 port says DV and 1 port says USB
[05:30] <tzadik> i also have a firewire cable
[05:30] <_jason> ubotu: tell live about rootsudo
[05:31] <tzadik> i also have kino installed
[05:31] <Plitskin[2] > wi-fi can be pretty annoying... :(
[05:31] <green_earz> Bog_: have a look at http://www.ispconfig.org/index.htm
[05:31] <live> what's the root password in live mode? >_<
[05:31] <Bog_> green: thanks
[05:31] <_jason> live: check your private messages from ubotu
[05:31] <green_earz> np
[05:31] <Manny> hi
[05:32] <live> i can't mount partitions without root password...
[05:32] <_jason> live: you use sudo as the link ubotu gave you explains
[05:32] <tzadik> can i use usb?
[05:33] <Plitskin> uhmm... need help, I can't install lamp.  I tried to using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-lamp but it says "cannot find package ubuntu-lamp"
[05:33] <_jason> ubotu: tell Plitskin about lamp
[05:33] <tzadik> plitskin: you need to install php and mysql
[05:33] <tzadik> sudo apt-get install php4
[05:33] <tzadik> sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[05:34] <live> thanks so much
[05:34] <tzadik> sudo apt-get install php-mysql
[05:34] <tzadik> 3 things
[05:34] <tzadik> also... install apache
[05:34] <Plitskin> how do I browse for available packages to install by the way? Where are they located?
[05:34] <_jason> tzadik: just easier to read the wiki page :)
[05:34] <tzadik> i think it is: sudo apt-get install apache
[05:34] <Plitskin> thanks tzadik
[05:34] <nlogax> tzadik: what is it you're trying to achieve exactly?  downloading recordings or realtime capture by the PC?  and what does the manual say about what you're trying to do?
[05:35] <_jason> Plitskin: use synaptic, or 'apt-cache search'
[05:35] <tzadik> i am trying to somehow get the video I recorded onto my computer
[05:35] <[o] rkin> I reinstalled ubuntu and now i can't change the screen resolution to anythin by 640x480
[05:35] <Plitskin> thanks jason
[05:35] <tzadik> then i will either put that on my website and/or burn a dvd
[05:35] <_jason> ubotu: tell [o] rkin about fixres
[05:35] <tzadik> right now, i am just trying to do step 1
[05:35] <tzadik> put it on the comptuer
[05:35] <Newbieee> After I booting the CD-Live How do I start Ubuntu???
[05:35] <tzadik> in some format
[05:35] <green_earz> Plitskin: to find out where a package is installed " dpkg -L package-name
[05:35] <nlogax> Plitskin: you can also use 'aptitude search nametosearch'
[05:35] <Newbieee> What Commnad to use?
[05:36] <_jason> Newbieee: just press enter
[05:36] <nlogax> tzadik: I would expect that your camera's storage would show up as a USB drive when you plug it in using USB
[05:36] <tzadik> ok, but the video is all on tapes
[05:36] <Plitskin> hmmm... I sure hope these commands aren't specific to Debian... or Ubuntu...
[05:36] <nlogax> tzadik: certainly if you've already recorded to the camera's internal storage you shouldn't require a capture card - just copy the files over
[05:36] <nlogax> tzadik:  OHHHH......
[05:37] <tzadik> so i need to play back the tape
[05:37] <_jason> Plitskin: why?
[05:37] <fenixx_uni13> hola
[05:37] <nlogax> Plitskin: the apt commands are only for the Debian family (unless you install APT on another distro)
[05:37] <tzadik> can i get that to work over usb?
[05:37] <iBalo> Hi, anyone having experience with converting an existing breezy installation to software raid 0? i have a dual-boot system, and because stupid windows is running out of space, i have to 'squeeze' the existing breezy-partition in 2 smaller partitions.
[05:37] <Drakeson> has anyone had success with one of wacom tablets?
[05:37] <nlogax> tzadik: I don't know.  Can I suggest you read the manual and see what the USB port on your cam is for?
[05:38] <iBalo> !raid
[05:38] <ubotu> raid is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto
[05:38] <tzadik> i tried but it is not clear
[05:38] <Newbieee>  After I booting the CD-Live How do I start Ubuntu???
[05:39] <deizi> how do i remove installed wine programs?
[05:39] <iBalo> Hmm, the raid howto is assuming sata, but this is standard ata? anyone ready for some handholding?
[05:39] <Drakeson> the wacom tablet is recognized by the kernel (there is a kernel module for it) but I don't know why it doesn't behave well, perhaps another driver is handling it. How can I check what is handling the device?
[05:40] <tzadik> my camcorder manual says... I can play back video through my USB
[05:40] <s1> I installed XGL and compiz just for kicks and none of the shortcuts are working, any good pointers?
[05:40] <tzadik> it says to install the DV Media softare
[05:41] <rambo3> what does this file do : .ICEauthority ?
[05:42] <tzadik> what would happen if i just connect my camera to the usb
[05:42] <tzadik> and start playback
[05:42] <tzadik> with Kino running
[05:42] <rambo3> it would explode
[05:43] <seroxat> is it worth it to install dapper? or should i just go with breezy?
[05:43] <kingspawn> tzadik: find out
[05:43] <seroxat> what are most people running?
[05:43] <tzadik> it seems like kino doesn't mention usb
[05:43] <kingspawn> seroxat: go with breezy
[05:43] <kingspawn> seroxat: and upgrade when dapper is released june 1
[05:44] <seroxat> kingspawn, so dapper is a bit buggy yes?
[05:44] <rambo3> depends on hardware seroxat
[05:44] <Zappa> foofight
[05:44] <seroxat> hmm
[05:44] <rambo3> ati = total mess so far
[05:44] <seroxat> yea ati is always a mess
[05:45] <kingspawn> seroxat: beta software often is
[05:45] <seroxat> im having major problems with my x850xt
[05:45] <seroxat> fglrx doesnt work, vesa works but only when my monitor is plugged in analog
[05:45] <Karlprof> How do I CHMOD a network workgroup, such as mshome?
[05:45] <rambo3> you mount it with umask
[05:46] <seroxat> some distros use the driver "radeon" is this supported in ubuntu?
[05:46] <seroxat> atleast it makes DVI work
[05:46] <sinisterr> will ubuntu us the .debs from the debain repositories or is it limited to its own
[05:46] <rambo3> no i dont think so , i have radeon on fedira c 5 , and ati on dapper
[05:46] <Karlprof> Hmm... Rambo3, my laptop (WinXP, and as much as I'd like to I can't change it to Ubuntu) is complaining about not having permission to access mshome.
[05:46] <nlogax> tzadik: yeah you certainly shouldn't need video capture card, but you'll have to do some googling I think
[05:47] <seroxat> rambo3, im using fc5 now.. but i dont like it
[05:47] <seroxat> what other alternatives are there other than vesa and fglrx?
[05:47] <Karlprof> MSHOME is CHMODded to 444, so laptop should be able to access it, surely?
[05:47] <rambo3> well fedora has never had a stable vserion so far, just testing ground for rad hats paying customers
[05:47] <Karlprof> (I was going to try 777 and see if that helped, but I don't know how.)
[05:47] <gnomefreak> sinisterr: _dont_ use teh debian repos only use the ubuntu repos
[05:48] <sinisterr> k
[05:48] <gnomefreak> s/teh/the
[05:48] <rambo3> Karlsprof i dont know much about that . is it mounted from fstab or how?
[05:48] <seroxat> rambo3, but is there an alternative? using the fglrx or "ati" driver x cant even start... "fatal error: no screens found"
[05:49] <rambo3> i would check ubuntu forums first becouse i dont know much about ati x cards
[05:49] <tzadik> i am googled out
[05:49] <tzadik> that's why i'm asking here
[05:49] <tzadik> :)
[05:49] <nlogax> sinisterr: most stuff in Deb repos is in Ubuntu too I think (approx 19,000 pkgs)
[05:49] <Karlprof> Well, this computer can mount it fine, it's my Windows laptop that fails and the most I can get up on the laptop is the 'Windows Networking Wizard', which, as you can imagine, is a tad useless.
[05:49] <rambo3> i know that adding noframebuffer or something like that worked for me
[05:49] <seroxat> rambo3, im off to install cya later if all goes well..
[05:49] <Karlprof> Actually, it might not be entirely useless. *goes off to make new workgroup and see if that works*
[05:50] <nlogax> tzadik: I suspect that your cam is like a webcam; if so you will need a kernel module for it and then you'll be able to test using xawtv
[05:50] <seroxat> ati should be shot for making such crappy drivers
[05:50] <[SEAWOLF] > ciao a tutti
[05:50] <NigelS> seroxat: ati have always made crappy drivers, even for windows - it's why I never touch their cards
[05:51] <seroxat> their display drivers for windows are fine... catalyst control center on the other hand is pure trash and so is opengl support
[05:51] <nlogax> tzadik: what is the make/model of your camera?
[05:51] <tzadik> it is a samsung sc-d363
[05:52] <rambo3> well in the past thay just answerd it was out of ccertacy thay made ati linux drivers and that thay dont have to do that . makeing them do something was progres
[05:52] <seroxat> so what exactly is going to be new in dapper? is there a a changelog somewhere?
[05:52] <tzadik> i would really prefer to use usb if possible
[05:52] <tzadik> i don't care if it takes forever
[05:53] <tzadik> can i use kino?
[05:53] <tzadik> or do i need xawtv
[05:54] <nlogax> tzadik: to use your cam as a USB device you'll need a kernel module
[05:55] <nlogax> tzadik: what does lsusb say?  is there anything that looks like it could be your cam?  (don't paste the whole output here)
[05:56] <nlogax> tzadik: do you have a memory card for it?
[05:57] <nlogax> the spec sheet says that it can upload video as Mpeg4 direct to your PC... but I expect that's only if it's been saved to the memory card, not the tapes http://www.samsung.com/Products/Camcorder/MiniDV/files/scd363a.pdf
[06:00] <runenes> When I pop in a vcd in the cdrom totem launches and plays the disc, but without image - just sound. Mplayer handles it fine though. Is there a way to change what app should start playing when I insert a vcd disc. And why doesn't totem show anything? Any clues :)
[06:01] <chris_> ux
[06:02] <matthew_w> Does anyone know where I can get unix2dos?
[06:02] <matthew_w> Like which repository?
[06:02] <f8> how do i use the apps as su?
[06:02] <matthew_w> f8; sudo appname
[06:02] <_jason> matthew_w: sysutils package in main
[06:02] <f8> i have to do it via command line?
[06:02] <matthew_w> Thanks _jason
[06:04] <matthew_w> f8 yep
[06:04] <Ilokaaaasu> Im trying to get my tvout to work. I have intel 915gm display adapter in my laptop, what changes do i have to make in xorg.conf to get started ?
[06:04] <nlogax> f8, what about trying gksudo ?
[06:04] <f8> i'll look into that logax...
[06:05] <nlogax> f8 actually it's still command line... but I think there's probably some util you can use
[06:05] <f8> well debian let you sudo from the run command... it does not do that here for me
[06:05] <sfar-ubu> f8: rightclick on the desktop, create launcher.. and enter command: "gksu gedit" or whatever
[06:06] <babo> Hi guys ... is there a php.net for javascript ???  ...what's the easiest javascript functon reference ... (#javascript is empty)
[06:06] <Xeonwales> can any1 help me configure azureus with my router??
[06:06] <nlogax> f8 use gksuexec

[06:07] <Adri2000> which commande "route ..." should i use to have access to internet via ppp0, and have access to my local network via eth0?
[06:07] <gnomefreak> f8: create custom launcher is what you are looking for i think
[06:07] <nlogax> f8 just add a launcher for gksuexec or put it on your app launcher
[06:08] <kennethlove> hey guys. i'm having a problem with apt. anyone able to help?
[06:08] <Kimppa> Hello. Does anyone know the exact date of the next ubuntu release?
[06:08] <yohan> i just compiled a new kernel (2.6.16) and when i try booting it freezes at "waiting for root file system", what might i have done wrong?
[06:08] <Xeonwales> can any1 help me configure azureus with my router??
[06:09] <PhilKC> Xeonwales, Hmmm?
[06:09] <Xeonwales> nat error
[06:09] <PhilKC> Xeonwales, Not really an Ubuntu problem...
[06:09] <matthew_w> Where would I get all of the default MS system DLL's to use in WINE
[06:09] <Adri2000> which command "route ..." should i use to have access to internet via ppp0, and have access to my local network via eth0?
[06:09] <PhilKC> Xeonwales, Probably want to head to #Azureus-Support...
[06:09] <Xeonwales> well im using ubuntu... works ok on 'linspire'
[06:10] <introuble> hello
[06:10] <tzadik> nlogax: sorry i had to say goodbye to some guests
[06:10] <zmo> Adri2000 route add default gw dev ppp0
[06:11] <lam> hello introuble
[06:11] <tzadik> which kernel mod

[06:12] <zmo> Adri2000 sorry -dev :)
[06:12] <Adri2000> ok
[06:12] <kennethlove> i'm getting '404 file not found' errors on apt-get for the official repos. any help?
[06:12] <introuble> pleaze, somebody can help me with dependencies problem?
[06:12] <zmo> Adri2000 <IP_ADDRESS> is an example, put your local subnet here
[06:12] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: change the country code
[06:12] <_jason> introuble: what are you trying to install?
[06:12] <Adri2000> ok zmo thanks
[06:12] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: from us to?
[06:12] <zmo> yw
[06:13] <introuble> i tryed to install an unstable program but i messed up with the dpkg command
[06:13] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: you can take us. out totally and run them that way mines set up like that and they work
[06:13] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: thanks
[06:13] <gnomefreak> yw
[06:13] <_jason> introuble: what program
[06:13] <introuble> unrar, that finally I found in stable version
[06:13] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: running it now to make sure
[06:13] <tobi_> hi
[06:14] <MetaMorfoziS> what application can stream my digital camera?
[06:14] <MetaMorfoziS> i want to use it like a webcam
[06:14] <_jason> introuble: where did you get it from and how did you try installing it?
[06:14] <MetaMorfoziS> i'm udner kubuntu
[06:14] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: i'm still getting 404s
[06:14] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: you ran apt-get update?
[06:14] <soundray> MetaMorfoziS: only a few digital cameras support that. Are you sure that yours does?
[06:15] <MetaMorfoziS> i don't know, i want to try it:)
[06:15] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: yep. and --fix-missing
[06:15] <_jason> what is that command that shows a bunch of info about a file like creation time, mod time, etc.?
[06:15] <introuble> from packages.debian.org. somebody told me to install it with "dpgk -i" plus some llibraries more with which now I have problem
[06:15] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: paste your list on pastebin please
[06:15] <soundray> MetaMorfoziS: did it come with a Windows application that enables webcam use?
[06:15] <_jason> introuble: what's the problem you are having
[06:15] <tobi_> I have updated from breezy to dapper and now I have an kernel seg foult at boot time
[06:16] <MetaMorfoziS> i dunno, i can't readfrom cd
[06:16] <_jason> !dapper
[06:16] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[06:16] <MetaMorfoziS> i think it's not mounted
[06:16] <MetaMorfoziS> but i can't mount it
[06:16] <gnomefreak> tobi_: please join #ubuntu+1 for dapper issues
[06:16] <kbrooks> what is needed in Ubuntu?
[06:16] <yohan> i just compiled a new kernel (2.6.16) and when i try booting it freezes at "waiting for root file system", what might i have done wrong? anyone had this problem?
[06:16] <yohan> i have a SATA disk too
[06:16] <introuble> if I type sudo apt-get update I get  cpp-4.0: Depende: gcc-4.0-base (= 4.0.1-4ubuntu9) but 4.0.3-1 installed
[06:16] <soundray> MetaMorfoziS: what's your camera make and model, I want to have a look at its specs on the web?
[06:17] <MetaMorfoziS> okay, konica minolta dimage z6
[06:17] <MetaMorfoziS> we bough't it 2hours ago
[06:17] <MetaMorfoziS> :D
[06:17] <_jason> introuble: you should put everything you did on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and give the channel a link.  maybe someone can help you
[06:18] <gnomefreak> sounds like mixed repos
[06:18] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: http://rafb.net/paste/results/MIfpaD57.html only the officical ones are getting 404s. the others are fine
[06:18] <Karlprof> Hi. How do I set up Samba so it'll let the laptop connect to me without asking for authentication?
[06:18] <_jason> gnomefreak: introuble downloaded libraries and stuff from packages.debian and installed them with dpkg
[06:19] <Karlprof> I don't think Windows understands Ubuntu auth requests or something, it keeps on coming up 'Server does not accept remote connections' and 'You don't have permission to access that server' when I try to access my shared docs from my windows laptop.
[06:19] <gnomefreak> :(
[06:19] <runenes> When I pop in a vcd in the cdrom totem launches and plays the disc, but without image - just sound. Mplayer handles it fine though. Is there a way to change what app should start playing when I insert a vcd disc. And why doesn't totem show anything? Any clues :)
[06:20] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: the backports are borked look at the the / shouldnt be in middle of words or between universe and multiverse
[06:20] <soundray> MetaMorfoziS: your camera doesn't seem to support webcam mode.
[06:20] <gnomefreak> depending on the libs he got from debian they could be the issue
[06:21] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: those are just from the paste, sorry
[06:21] <MetaMorfoziS> soundray: okay, thank you
[06:21] <introuble> sorry, how does the http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ page works?
[06:21] <introuble> file:///home/veloporto/Desktop/post_10848.txt
[06:21] <introuble> not like that I presume...
[06:21] <kennethlove> from continued lines
[06:22] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: you pasting your /etc/apt/sources.list should not have added or taken things away (btw each repo needs to be on its own line)
[06:22] <introuble> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d10848
[06:23] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: it does when you paste from emacs on a mac os x terminal. :)  trust me, they're not there in the actual file
[06:23] <_jason> introuble: how about what you did?  Do you still have all the commands that you used to install the things from debian?
[06:23] <kennethlove> and each IS on it's own line
[06:23] <g0urd> Hello..?? am i invisible here?
[06:24] <pppoe_dude> Ven] n^, anything happened with cpufreqd?
[06:24] <soundray> runenes: System-Preferences-Removable Drives... has a tab where you can set this.
[06:24] <root_> have someone installed vmware 5.5 on ubuntu ?
[06:24] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: than why didnt the rest do it :(
[06:24] <soundray> g0urd: no, you aren't
[06:24] <pppoe_dude> g0urd, yes you are
[06:24] <cmg_> how do i open a root terminal on breezy?  i cant find the menu option
[06:24] <runenes> soundray, thanks
[06:25] <g0urd> heh...not to be impolite...am using opera's chat client and wasnt too sure whether i had to register with nickserv
[06:25] <pppoe_dude> cmg_, try gksudo xterm from the command box applet
[06:25] <gnomefreak> cmg_: go into menu editer and add root term in ssytem tools
[06:25] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: all i'm wondering is why i can't get to the repositories. basically i'm stuck with what i have, unable to install anything else
[06:25] <soundray> cmg_: easiest: run sudo -i in a normal terminal.
[06:25] <g0urd> anywhose, pppoe_dude- is there any easy fix to download all the sources of the bin packages installed on my machine?
[06:25] <cmg_> thanks
[06:25] <kennethlove> and i'm using the official ones, so there SHOULD NOT be a problem
[06:26] <g0urd> !source
[06:26] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[06:26] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: the backports rely on the offical ones thats where your error is comming from
[06:26] <yohan> i just compiled a new kernel (2.6.16) and when i try booting it freezes at "waiting for root file system", what might i have done wrong? anyone had this problem? <---anyone know where i can ask?
[06:26] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: comment out the backports and run sudo apt-get update
[06:26] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: k
[06:26] <pppoe_dude> g0urd, youll need to uncomment some lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:27] <introuble> no, I don't remember exactly the commands. I installed first the unstable unrar.deb package and it told me there was a packet missing and so on. At the end I installed 5 packeges which I still have
[06:27] <pppoe_dude> g0urd, then i cant think of an automatic way of downloading all source files
[06:27] <g0urd> pppoe_dude: yeah....i've got that done...all i need to do is download all the binary packages installed and take the sources elsewhere to compile them
[06:28] <kennethlove> "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-updates/universe/source/Sources.gz  404 Not Found" repeat for each source
[06:28] <samuel> sup all
[06:28] <pppoe_dude> g0urd, maybe ubuntu-desktop (source)?
[06:28] <g0urd> i just noticed that all the binary builds (esp. kaffeine and gnome apps) are too buggy for effective usse
[06:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> !seen cafeugo
[06:28] <ubotu> Kamping_Kaiser: i haven't seen 'cafeugo'
[06:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. spelling
[06:28] <shadeofgrey> okay guys and gals - i need a hand...  something happened when i did a dist-upgrade earlier this morning - because my installation of openoffice went from rock solid to the stability of a Microsoft application...  it crashes incessantly now and I cant figure out what files were changed and thus responsible for this catastrophic level of instability
[06:28] <samuel> anyone tell me please the page where i can find the addresses of the ubuntu repos? they are not in my sources.list, i use debian
[06:28] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: is that the only networking issue you have?
[06:28] <hawaisurf> hi!how can I erase a whole directory or even change owner of all the files and subdirectories included at once?
[06:28] <g0urd> pppoe_dude: u mean 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop -s' ?
[06:28] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: yep
[06:29] <shadeofgrey> does anybody know how to completely remove openoffice and reinstall it?
[06:29] <Blippe> hawaisurf, with the -r switch
[06:29] <tane|> exit
[06:29] <soundray> shadeofgrey: I suggest you try something else first.
[06:29] <hawaisurf> Blippe: ok I check it out thx
[06:29] <pppoe_dude> g0urd, i am unsure, but ubuntu-desktop is a psudo package that depends on everything in ubuntu reg. install
[06:29] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: let me see the full command/errorrs paste it in pastebin
[06:29] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: it's a headless box, so all the work on it is through the network. and it's been chugging away at bittorrent for weeks now, no problems
[06:29] <shadeofgrey> soundray -- what do you suggest?
[06:29] <pppoe_dude> g0urd, so maybe apt-get ubuntu-desktop -s might actually work
[06:29] <Blippe> is it possible to move your ubuntu-installation between two harddrives?
[06:29] <soundray> shadeofgrey: rmove your user configuration from your home dir to another location, reconfigure OOo
[06:29] <pppoe_dude> g0urd, you can try it... wont hurt
[06:30] <soundray> *move
[06:30] <g0urd> pppoe_dude: - alright....will look it up then. thx.
[06:30] <shadeofgrey> that sounds really messy
[06:30] <soundray> shadeofgrey: here, the dir in question is ~/.openoffice.org2/ (but I'm on dapper)
[06:30] <pppoe_dude> np
[06:30] <kennethlove> gnomefreak:  http://rafb.net/paste/results/rIAmLs14.html
[06:30] <hugo|uwe> hello, im using ubuntu breezy, when i try to remove php5-common, it wants to remove php4-pear in addition to a bunch of php-related packages that dont seem to be related to php5!!! any idea why this happens
[06:31] <soundray> shadeofgrey: no, it's really clean, because you start with a new config.
[06:31] <soundray> shadeofgrey: a new config for the user, that is.
[06:31] <shadeofgrey> okmay can we please move this to a private dialog box?
[06:31] <_jason> introuble: well all I can suggest is removing what you installed from debian and installing the stuff from the ubuntu repos.  rar and unrar are in the ubuntu repos
[06:31] <hawaisurf> Blippe: sorry but what do you mean -r switch
[06:32] <graveson> i am looking for tips on how i can improve my sound quality ,i have to use oss because of audacity but i find the quality lower than alsa
[06:32] <nlogax> kennethlove: nslookup archive.ubuntu.com
[06:32] <Blippe> hawaisurf, like so: "sudo rm -r directory"
[06:32] <introuble> right, but if I use synaptic the system would like to correct 3 dependecies errors and remove more then 100 programs
[06:33] <cyberserver> Do you face problems browsing sites where there are dynamic layer menus and flash, where the menus are not shown because the get behind the flash movie?
[06:33] <Blippe> hawaisurf, try "man chown" or "man rm"

[06:36] <pppoe_dude> Ilokaaaasu, did you try 855resolution from apt? it might work
[06:37] <Enthusiast78> Hi! Any repository gurus around? I'd like to know why backports and multiverse come disabled by default and which of them could de 'dangerous'?
[06:37] <hugo|uwe> argh ... here php4-pear depends on php-pear, which is version 5 ! only!!
[06:37] <Xenguy> Enthusiast78: just enable them :-)

[06:37] <_jason> ubotu: tell Enthusiast78 about components
[06:37] <Snareguydave16> Does anyone have any advice on getting World of Warcraft to run smoothly? (It is already installed... following the forums exactly... i'm just getting around 1 frame every 3 seconds)
[06:37] <jdong> anyone on Dapper got azureus working with gcj 4.1?
[06:37] <_jason> ubotu: tell Enthusiast78 about backports
[06:37] <pppoe_dude> Enthusiast78, i think its more of an "official support" and/or patent laws thing
[06:38] <_jason> Enthusiast78: backports could be dangerous.  They are generally ok... but there was this one time I remember where it messed up firefox
[06:38] <Ilokaaaasu> pppoe_dude no i didnt yet.. all im trying is to get my tvout(svideo) work, if there is some other way, plz tell me :P
[06:38] <Snareguydave16> also, i'm using wine
[06:38] <pppoe_dude> Ilokaaaasu, oh... k,, never mind, because intel gives really shitty drivers that only work on redhat :P
[06:38] <Enthusiast78> Ok, so backports is disabled because it can be dangerous... And multiverse because it contains 'nonfree' packages, perhaps?
[06:38] <pokkie> lets say i have 2 machines (m1) and (m2). (m1) has a mounted samba share on (m2). (m1) now tries to copy data to (m2), but it says "cannot create regular file". (m1) has a user/group of bob/bob. (m2) has a user/group of john/john. now on (m2) i create a user account bob/bob and assign both bob/bob and john/john to the users group. i change the group ownership of the share on (m2) to users. what else is need for (m1) to be able to write to
[06:39] <kbrooks> Enthusiast78, multiverse isnt offline
[06:39] <pppoe_dude> Ilokaaaasu, i knew how to fix my wide screen on my laptop with a patch, but i think that installing the actual intel drivers will be quite daunting
[06:39] <kbrooks> Enthusiast78, backports isnt either
[06:39] <jdong> Enthusiast78: backports is dangerous????
[06:39] <kbrooks> jdong, who are you again?
[06:40] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: take out your repos and paste these in use the white part at bottom to paste than try sudo apt-get update
[06:40] <kbrooks> jdong, are you jdub?
[06:40] <jdong> kbrooks: the one in charge of backports?
[06:40] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: http://pastebin.com/623412
[06:40] <_jason> Enthusiast78: yeah multiverse because it contains non-free
[06:40] <kbrooks> jdong, are you jdub?
[06:40] <jdong> kbrooks: no, I'm jdong
[06:40] <jdong> ubuntuforums admin, Backports team.....
[06:40] <Ilokaaaasu> well is there any "common rules" for making tvout work, not any specific for nvidia or ati
[06:40] <Eleaf> hi
[06:40] <tsw> suggestions for a iptables gui?
[06:41] <kbrooks> tsw: firestarter
[06:41] <gnomefreak> tsw: firestarter
[06:41] <_jason> jdong: I explained to Enthusiast78 that backports /can/ be dangerous.  And told him of the firefox 1.07 incident
[06:41] <tsw> thanks
[06:41] <kbrooks> tsw: tho that isnt a "iptables gui"?
[06:41] <jdong> _jason: we've gotten better at it :)
[06:41] <tsw> well I bet it works for my lilbrother :)
[06:41] <jdong> _jason: we're much more conservative now
[06:41] <tsw> ill stick with emacs and few files :)
[06:42] <Ilokaaaasu> tbh TVOUT is only thing i need from windows anymore
[06:42] <TwoThreeFour> hello I am running the live CD ..and I am trying some development tools ...the "make" binary seems to be missing ..how do I install it?
[06:42] <kbrooks> _jason: what messed up firefox?
[06:42] <roy> Heey
[06:42] <pppoe_dude> Ilokaaaasu, what video card do you have?
[06:42] <kbrooks> jdong, conservative how?
[06:42] <jdong> kbrooks: a dependency problem
[06:42] <jdong> kbrooks: we avoid risky packages now
[06:42] <SkippyX> OK - my dad's box has an SIS ethernet card, which I don't think ubuntu recognises. Device Manager says "device type: Unknown" & "capabilities: unknown" - but recognizes the vendor & the device "vendor: silicon integrates Systems (SIS)" "Device: SIS900 PCE Fast Ethernet". Can't connect to the web vial my buddies DSL. I can on my box - which has onboard ethernet.
[06:42] <Ilokaaaasu> intel integrated, think its 915GM
[06:42] <roy> Who Are Dutch?
[06:43] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: are you on a mac atm?
[06:43] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: yep
[06:43] <kbrooks> jdong, whats a risky package?
[06:43] <soundray> TwoThreeFour: the live CD isn't really for development. Not even the basic installation. You need to apt-get install build-essential for make and other tools.
[06:43] <Ilokaaaasu> pppoe_dude: intel 915gm
[06:43] <gnomefreak> ok hold on dont use that list there is a list for ppc
[06:43] <kbrooks> jdong, is tomboy a "risky package", for example?
[06:44] <SkippyX> So - the question is - Does Ubuntu recognize this card or not? How do I find out for sure? What PCI cards does ubuntu play well with?
[06:44] <pppoe_dude> Ilokaaaasu, ok i have an intel 855 gme which is very similar (but no video out), the intel drivers were very painful to install. You can try downloading them from intels ssite
[06:44] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: no no. i'm no a mac. the ubuntu box is x86
[06:44] <kbrooks> SkippyX, lspci
[06:44] <Enthusiast78> _jason, Let's say that backports could be as dangerous as any other update, which can have a few bugs... Right?
[06:44] <SkippyX> OK - hang on.
[06:44] <Ilokaaaasu> isnt there easier way to just get this tvout work :P
[06:44] <gnomefreak> kennethlove: i dont understand are you on a mac or not?
[06:44] <kbrooks> SkippyX, pastebin the output
[06:45] <kbrooks> gnomefreak, typo - "not on".
[06:45] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: *i* am. the ubuntu box is not. 2 computers.
[06:45] <thinos> how can i make drop shadow in gnome
[06:45] <pppoe_dude> Ilokaaaasu, not that i know of
[06:45] <pppoe_dude> :p
[06:45] <Ilokaaaasu> :)
[06:45] <gnomefreak> what pc is this for the mac or the x86?
[06:45] <soundray> SkippyX: you may have to modprobe sis900. Add sis900 to /etc/modules if it works after that.
[06:45] <kennethlove> gnomefreak: the x86. i got it sorted. thanks for all your work, though

[06:46] <_jason> Enthusiast78: I use backports if a package I really like and use a lot is backported.  I usually keep backports disabled and then enable it only for that package.  I also wait a few days to check the forums to see if other users have problems with it.  Firefox is the only incident I can recall and all of the backports I have used on breezy have worked without any problems for me.  jdong can probably explain to you more about the benefit
[06:46] <sublime> Hi, I am installing jaws 6, and in the part of the installation in "file system rights", it said me that i haven't rights for the folther config. what i must to do ?
[06:46] <jdong> kbrooks: if it involves an entire mono stack backported, then yes :)
[06:46] <ssam> thinos, for breezy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DropShadows, in dapper xgl
[06:46] <Enthusiast78> I'm asking this because currenlty I'm using the security think, plus the breezy, breezy-backports and breezy-updates archives, all containing main, restricted, universe and multiverse... Aiming to be able to install 'exerything'* available in the official repositories.
[06:46] <kbrooks> jdong, mono stack?
[06:46] <pppoe_dude> Ilokaaaasu, they make it for suse linux
[06:46] <yohan> i just compiled a new kernel (2.6.16) and when i try booting it freezes at "waiting for root file system", what might i have done wrong? anyone had this problem?

[06:46] <SkippyX> "host bridge: Silicon integrated systems (SiS) 661FX/M661FX/M661MX Host (rev 11)" followed by "PCI Bridge: Silicon integratesd Systems (SiS) Unknown device 0003
[06:47] <_ben> hey guys, im trying to install ubuntu on a machine with a sata fakeraid controller and its causing me a lot of trouble.. anyone have any experience with this?
[06:47] <SkippyX> soundray, OK _ I'll ahve a go.
[06:47] <soundray> yohan: are you on SATA?
[06:49] <Enthusiast78> Ok, now another important question... Does anybody know of any Window$ game that will work with the breezy wine package? Just wanted to see it working...
[06:50] <SkippyX> rebooting having added sis900 to the /etc/modules file. Let's see how that goes.....
[06:50] <Ilokaaaasu> pppoe_dude: those are in rpm, can i open them normally in ubuntu
[06:50] <TwoThreeFour> soundray: thanks a million!
[06:50] <pppoe_dude> Enthusiast78, counterstrike worked for me a while ago
[06:50] <Enthusiast78> Please note that I really don't want to install cedega, winex or the wine package from winehq.
[06:50] <Enthusiast78> pppoe_dude, Hmmm... Is it 3D acceleration only?
[06:50] <pppoe_dude> Ilokaaaasu, you can *attempt* to use alien and convert them to deb, or you can download the .tar.gz file and see if you can make it work
[06:51] <Enthusiast78> pppoe_dude, Sorry, I need something 2D...
[06:51] <soundray> TwoThreeFour: no problem
[06:51] <Ilokaaaasu> oh it was tar, readme just talked about rpm
[06:51] <Armagguedes> hellu

[06:52] <Ilokaaaasu> how can i shutdown X so i can try to install ?
[06:52] <jdong> kbrooks: a set of compilers and other various buildtools
[06:53] <pppoe_dude> Ilokaaaasu, kill gdm
[06:53] <Enthusiast78> pppoe_dude, That's a Microsoft game, right? I think I could try finding a trial version from their website...
[06:53] <kbrooks> jdong, so mono is a toolchain?
[06:53] <pppoe_dude> Enthusiast78, no actually its a "Microprose"
[06:53] <pppoe_dude> Enthusiast78, which i dont think exists any more
[06:53] <Snareguydave16> i'm sure that i'm just setting or two that would fix everything
[06:53] <Snareguydave16> just "missing"
[06:54] <Zanga> what is the command to see what version of ubuntu i have ??
[06:54] <matthew_w> Hey guys, how would I make it so every file of a specific type has one kind of Icon?
[06:54] <SkippyX> Nope - didn't work.
[06:54] <gnomefreak> !version
[06:54] <ubotu> To find out what ubuntu version you have type 'lsb_release -a' or 'cat /etc/issue' in a terminal.
[06:54] <gnomefreak> !version
[06:54] <Enthusiast78> pppoe_dude, Hmmm... Do you know of any online games, prefferably RPG? Could be Linux-native as well (even better).
[06:54] <gnomefreak> oops
[06:55] <pppoe_dude> Enthusiast78, enemy territory is the best i've played so far (3D)
[06:55] <behemoth_> anybody know how i can force a umount? umount -f doesn't seem to work?
[06:55] <void^> (openttd runs on linux natively)
[06:55] <pppoe_dude> Enthusiast78, and yes, openttd works great, except that you need the original ttd
[06:56] <SkippyX> OK - I'm off to get a netgear ethernet card. That should do the trick
[06:56] <matthew_w> Hey guys, how would I make it so every file of a specific type has one kind of Icon?

[07:05] <XiCillin> if the next ubuntu release is goign to be june first shouldn't it be version 6.06?

[07:07] <Eleaf> pppoe_dude, WHY DO THEY CONFUSE ME SO!
[07:07] <Eleaf> lol
[07:07] <hugo|uwe> ompaul, um, i dont get what you mean?
[07:08] <gnomefreak> !rar
[07:08] <ubotu> somebody said rar was a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[07:08] <ompaul> well php-pear is php5 and four is well, four
[07:08] <pppoe_dude> graveson, might be the bug with esd. try killing -9 esd
[07:09] <phenex> wasn't there a free version of unrar?
[07:09] <pppoe_dude> phenex, the one in apt is crappy and doesnt work. you need to go to www.rarsoft.com and download the binary
[07:10] <pppoe_dude> well not crappy... but doesnt work
[07:10] <graveson> pppoe_dude : esd is killed ,because oss works with audacity :(
[07:11] <phenex> the wiki says install unrar-nonfree from the multiverse repository... it's not there either...
[07:11] <interneti> graveson, is there a way to run audacity without killing esd
[07:11] <gnomefreak> phenex: do you have the multiverse backports ewnabled or multiverse enabled?
[07:12] <graveson> interneti: the solution is supposed to be using the oss wrapper (aoss) with audacity but this does not work
[07:12] <phenex> multiverse... i guess...
[07:12] <gnomefreak> phenex: please paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file to pastebin
[07:13] <phenex> hmm... it's dapper-backports...
[07:13] <gnomefreak> phenex: dapper doesnt have backports :(
[07:13] <phenex> so why is it in the sources list?

[07:33] <lzap> davidhouse, fetch Terminus, its the best...
[07:33] <OxyMesiS> bonsoir
[07:33] <lzap> ^^^ I understand ubuntu1 means release 1, but what is 1.0-1.2?
[07:34] <patrick52222> i think it stands for package version
[07:34] <mojojojo_> thank u
[07:35] <lzap> radio (3.94-1.0ubuntu2) meaning the package is 3.94? but whats the 1.0 then?
[07:35] <dubious9> 3.94 is the software version, 1.0 is the ubuntu build version
[07:35] <dubious9> if the package maintainers make a build change it'll change to 1.1
[07:36] <dubious9> but the source doesn't change
[07:36] <lzap> aha, and ubuntu1 is what then?
[07:36] <NoOnEx> dubious9: whats the bumber after ubuntu?
[07:36] <lzap> a fixrelease?
[07:36] <fromvega> Hello
[07:36] <fromvega> I have installed TRAC through Ubuntu apt-get. But it's still the 0.8 one. I want to upgrade to the newest version, how should I procede?
[07:36] <dubious9> they get it from /dev/random
[07:36] <dubious9> ;)
[07:37] <lzap> fromvega, install from source to /usr/local...
[07:37] <dubious9> that means I don't exactly know
[07:37] <ompaul> fromvega, before I tell you how, I have a good reason to ask this why do you need this version?
[07:37] <lzap> dubious9, thank you
[07:38] <fromvega> ompaul: Because there are many bug and security fixes since 0.8
[07:38] <lzap> fromvega, its easy to install Trac from source, you can do it if you want the most newer version
[07:38] <ompaul> fromvega, well your distro looks after bug and sec fixes, that is how they manage
[07:39] <lzap> but the Ubuntu package should be safe (if you install security updates)
[07:39] <fromvega> can't I just upgrade? or will I have to install from source anyway?
[07:39] <dubious9> fromvega, you may also find a .deb binary of the newest version which is easier to install than the source
[07:39] <fromvega> lzap: hum
[07:40] <ThomS> hey, has anyone heard of a recent bug in ubuntu where Firfox keeps opening instances of itself?
[07:40] <ompaul> fromvega, (it ain't windows the logic is don't chase the latest) you have two options, one see if there is a backport in the dapper pool I show that in a second or do source
[07:40] <ompaul> !info trac dapper
[07:40] <ubotu> trac: (Enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects), section universe/web, is optional. Version: 0.9.3-1ubuntu1 (dapper), Packaged size: 291 kB, Installed size: 1684 kB
[07:40] <dubious9> fromvega, what I would do is download checkinstall, which allows you to make packages from make files, build it from source, use check install to make your own .deb and upgrade the package using that
[07:41] <dubious9> checkinstall is really great for keeping track of stuff that you build from source
[07:41] <ompaul> fromvega, so you will have to support that all the way for a few versions of ubuntu, the logic of a distro is manage the sec issues with the released software not go chasing the latest bleeding edge software that will get you cut
[07:42] <introuble> I had trouble installing packages from packages.debian.com instead from packages.ubuntu.com. Isn't ubuntu a debian?
[07:42] <fromvega> ompaul: what does is mean:  Version: 0.9.3-1ubuntu1 (dapper) ? It will be released with the new version of Ubuntu?
[07:42] <ompaul> introuble, it is not, it is derived from
[07:42] <God> introuble, ubuntu != debian
[07:42] <ompaul> fromvega, eyes
[07:43] <Plitskin> uh...
[07:43] <ompaul> fromvega, yes
[07:43] <dubious9> introuble, yes ubuntu is debian based, but it's not debian exactly. some debian builds won't work on ubuntu
[07:43] <MetaMorfoziS> is there any programthat can convert textfiles between character encodings?
[07:43] <God> introuble, you shouldnt mix ubuntu and debian because your system will turn into dried glue if you do
[07:43] <Plitskin> I can't get the MP3 stuff work...
[07:43] <ompaul> fromvega, the bot has some thing on this
[07:43] <Plitskin> anyway... where can I get games? :D
[07:43] <God> and I will make it turn into dried glue, because I am who I am
[07:43] <dubious9> MetaMorfoziS, any modern text editor like jedit should do that for you, or do you want a command line version?
[07:44] <introuble> I did. luckily I just recovered
[07:44] <captainredbeard> is there any kind of ubuntu install disc iso authoring software, where I can customise an ubuntu install disc?
[07:44] <ompaul> introuble, read the wiki page the bot points you do
[07:44] <ompaul> introuble, s/to/do
[07:45] <ompaul> !tell Plitskin about restricted
[07:45] <ompaul> !tell Plitskin about easybuntu
[07:45] <ompaul> Plitskin, that should sort out your mp3 stuff
[07:45] <iratsu> !tell iratsu about easybuntu
[07:45] <ompaul> !msgthebot
[07:45] <ubotu> Please message the bot (me) in private, more info about the bot: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[07:45] <_jason> !+easyubuntu
[07:45] <ubotu> easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ or #easyubuntu
[07:45] <azurehuesofblue> is easyubuntu safe?
[07:46] <d3v11> isn't automatix better?
[07:46] <ompaul> !automatix
[07:46] <ubotu> automatix is probably unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[07:46] <Plitskin> ompaul does repositories work even without internet connection?
[07:46] <ompaul> personally I suggest using the documentation
[07:46] <God> azurehuesofblue, EasyUbuntu is safe
[07:46] <Plitskin> when I follow the instructions there
[07:46] <ompaul> Plitskin, no
[07:46] <Plitskin> it complains about network stuff...

[07:47] <azurehuesofblue> lol
[07:47] <MetaMorfoziS> dubious9: my problem is the modern texteditors isn't do that like quanta and kate, i only can set the charatcer encoding in the editor options -> save/open
[07:47] <MetaMorfoziS> so i need a commandline version which is fully good
[07:47] <lzap> Version: 0.2.5+r20145-0ubuntu1 ? hmmm, where can I read more information about package naming?
[07:47] <Plitskin> can I use the bot too?

[07:48] <Plitskin> !tell Plitskin about easybuntu
[07:48] <_jason> Plitskin: /msg ubotu easyubuntu
[07:48] <Plitskin> the bot doesn't know about it... :(
[07:48] <_jason> Plitskin: because you made a typo
[07:48] <AndyA> Hi. I have a greeter application crashing problem. Can anyone help me?
[07:49] <dubious9> Plitskin, you can msg the bot and play with it
[07:49] <ompaul> AndyA, what version of ubuntu
[07:50] <martino> it
[07:51] <ompaul> !it
[07:51] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.  I really need that serial modem... :(
[07:54] <elvirolo> hi
[07:54] <dubious9> yo
[07:55] <elvirolo> i'm trying to set up a NFS share between my two ubuntu boxes ... but the client gets "permission denied" whenever it tries to acces a NFS mount point (even with the root acocunt)
[07:55] <kingspawn> elvirolo: set up the /etc/exports correctly?
[07:55] <palomer> hello
[07:55] <palomer> is it recommended to install ubuntu then upgrade to debian-unstable?
[07:56] <void^> palomer: certainly not
[07:56] <palomer> why not?
[07:56] <elvirolo> kingspawn: this is my exports line : /home/elvirolo/video <IP_ADDRESS>(ro,async,all_squash)
[07:56] <palomer> I'm cutting edge, yo
[07:56] <ompaul> palomer, different bases - use debian for debian
[07:56] <_jason> palomer: if you want debian-unstable just install debian-unstable
[07:56] <elvirolo> palomer: they are two different distros
[07:56] <stian> Hey, does anyone have a suggestions for a codeeditor (php) with an upload to (s)ftp feature?
[07:56] <kingspawn> elvirolo: what does the all_squash do? i would belive it squashes all logins?
[07:56] <void^> palomer: nothing stops you from installing ubuntu and installing debian-unstable over it :P
[07:57] <elvirolo> kingspawn: yeah
[07:57] <palomer> are the ubuntu packages more recent?
[07:57] <dubious9> palomer, yep
[07:57] <kingspawn> elvirolo: abd you are wondering why it denies access?
[07:57] <kingspawn> s/abd/and
[07:57] <AndyA> Hi. I have a greeter application crashing problem. Can anyone help me?
[07:57] <dubious9> debian-unstable is like stable for most other distros
[07:57] <palomer> dubious9: than debian unstable?
[07:57] <dubious9> palomer, yes, mostly
[07:57] <elvirolo> kingspawn: yes. am i being obviously stupid ?
[07:57] <ompaul> palomer, a more extream version of what you were suggesting is to install redhat and then upgrade to debian-unstable
[07:58] <vegeta_> lol
[07:58] <BlueOrange> hi folks, iam having alot of trouble getting my svideo out port working on my thinkpad t21. can anyone assist me ??
[07:58] <palomer> where can I see a list of ubuntu packages so I can compare version numbers
[07:58] <kingspawn> elvirolo: if the all_squash makes sure no one can log in, as i think it does, then you are being obviously stupid by wondering why you cant log in
[07:58] <dubious9> AndyA, I don't know much about it, but why don't you tell us more about the problem
[07:58] <kingspawn> elvirolo: if that is not the case, then we must look elsewhere
[07:58] <ssam> palomer, packages.ubuntu.com
[07:58] <_jason> palomer: packages.ubuntu.com
[07:58] <BlueOrange> ps- i have a program called atitvout installed, which is for this perpose but i cant get it to work.
[07:58] <elvirolo> kingspawn: i thought it meant that -anyone- could login, without having the same UID on the server
[07:58] <ompaul> palomer, your offtopic for a ubuntu help channel so may I suggest you go to the channel #ubuntu-offtopic where you might be entertained
[07:59] <dubious9> http://packages.debian.org/unstable/
[07:59] <kingspawn> elvirolo: i was asking you what it meant. but yes, the man page seems to indicate that
[07:59] <NigelS>  /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:00] <chronos> uia
[08:00] <chronos> hi all
[08:00] <dubious9> hola
[08:01] <chronos> in default instalation ubuntu no offer prompt to alter root password, how do I alter this after instalation If I don't know password?
[08:01] <AndyA> ok... I have installed Ubuntu 5.10 amd64. Everything went fine (except connecting to the net, but I don't think that's the problem). Then when it booted for the first time (after it entered gnome) I got a small notification saying that changes were made to kernel so I should reboot as soon as possible. And so I did. And then the problems started.
[08:01] <ryanpg> anyone have a recommendation for a good "floor plan" sofware? like where you can play with furniture placement etc.?
[08:01] <Marbles> hi
[08:01] <Marbles> anyone know how i can get midi files to play
[08:01] <ompaul> !tell chronos about root
[08:01] <ompaul> chronos, read the message from the bot please
[08:01] <Blippe> !midi
[08:01] <ubotu> midi is, like, totally, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=8736 or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[08:01] <elvirolo> kingspawn: strange then
[08:01] <Blippe> marbles look at the guides ubotu talks about
[08:02] <Marbles> will do
[08:02] <Marbles> cheers
[08:02] <chronos> ompaul: I'm read, thx.
[08:02] <chronos> I'm in text mode now hehe, install running
[08:03] <AndyA> it reported temporary failure in name resolution. and when it started GUI i got a message box saying 'Greeter application crashing bla, bla bla'. I started playing arround and found out that if I boot recovery mode and run startx I can get gnome but it reports 'Failed initializing HAL'
[08:04] <dubious9> AndyA, have you made any largish software changes/updates/upgrades recently?
[08:04] <ubuntu_> yes
[08:04] <AndyA> Another strange thing is that when I run 'sudo dphg -reconfigure xserver-xorg' I got error saying conflicting action --conrtol and --remove
[08:05] <azurehuesofblue> What's the easiest way to install easyubuntu, I tried to do it through the bash commands on the website, but it refused to connect to the server... I would like the latest version if that's possible.
[08:05] <SkippyX> OK - went out & got a linksys card to install in my ubuntu box. put it in. rebooted. how do I get the ubuntu box to recognize the card?
[08:05] <ompaul> azurehuesofblue, ask in #easyubuntu I'll talk with you there
[08:05] <azurehuesofblue> ok
[08:05] <azurehuesofblue> thx
[08:05] <birdfish> What command would I execute to find out what groups a user is a member of?
[08:05] <AndyA> no. Like I said, I didn't setup network. This happend on first bootup.
[08:06] <kingspawn> elvirolo: you havent got the hosts.deny set to something wild? :)
[08:06] <dubious9> birdfish, doesn't groups <username> work?
[08:06] <eggzeck> SkippyX, you mean for ethernet?
[08:06] <birdfish> dubious9: thanks :)  I'm just new
[08:07] <AndyA> I know it's strange... It's like people who wrote it found out there's a problem write before release and then wrote a script to alter kernel during first bootup.
[08:07] <SkippyX> yes. I should have specified. My apologies.
[08:07] <dubious9> birdfish, np I'm just not on linux right now so I couldn't check ;)
[08:07] <dubious9> to see if it worked
[08:08] <seroxat> whats everyone running? dapper or breezy?
[08:08] <eggzeck> breezy
[08:08] <michaelb> I'm running breezy.
[08:08] <kingspawn> seroxat: are you polling this every hour? heh
[08:08] <eggzeck> SkippyX, go to Administration->Networking and configure it
[08:08] <SkippyX> went "system"-"networking" brought up network settings. 2 ethernet cards. One onboard - which wouldn't work earlier - and anoter - a linksys card (just put in).
[08:08] <seroxat> seraphim, uhm. no?
[08:08] <dubious9> seroxat, is your next question a/s/l?
[08:08] <seroxat> kingspawn, *
[08:08] <AndyA> I think I should mention; I have dual Opteron 64 , and PNY NVIDIA quadro FX1100 GBO
[08:09] <kingspawn> seroxat: just checking ;)
[08:09] <seroxat> :I
[08:09] <Maniqui> hi, i need some help configuring my wireless card to connect to my wi-fi lan
[08:09] <AndyA> there's probably something wrong with the GBO
[08:09] <SkippyX> clicked "activate" - "activating interface eth1" (with a nice "pong" gui bouncing back & forth)......
[08:09] <Maniqui> i want to know how can I change the encryptation to wep
[08:09] <Maniqui> from the interfaces file
[08:10] <dubious9> AndyA, when did you start getting this problem?  was it like all of a sudden?
[08:10] <AndyA> it's shouldn't be; I think it's supported. Percise I have GUI and all... 24bit, hi res... I don't get it
[08:11] <SkippyX> Hmm....brb.
[08:12] <eggzeck> I sure hope he configured it with DHCP
[08:12] <_ben> what password do i use for sudo when im booted off a live disc??
[08:12] <_jason> _ben: there is no password iirc
[08:12] <_ben> _jason: hm, im trying to run synaptic
[08:12] <_ben> and it says i have to be root

[08:21] <_jason> f8: what filesystem?
[08:22] <f8> ntfs
[08:22] <debian> Hi everybody!
[08:22] <_jason> ubotu: tell f8 about ntfs
[08:22] <_jason> f8: mount it with the correct options (see the table in the middle of the wiki page ubotu sent you)
[08:22] <f8> dig...

[08:22] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[08:23] <AndyA> Gentelman!! The Greeter application problem! Anyone?
[08:23] <debian> ubotu: 10x a ton :) gonna join there

[08:23] <tane|> have anyone installed vmware 5.5 to AMD64 ?
[08:23] <LoCusF> debian: its a bot
[08:23] <jamiel> If my gateway is not the same as my router ... how do I determine the IP address of my router? (I changed it from default to fix a network issue but cant remember what to)
[08:23] <phenex> June 1? that's a reason for calling it 6.06?
[08:24] <AndyA> how if we can't install ubuntu for amd64!?
[08:24] <AndyA> :)
[08:24] <_jason> phenex: yes
[08:24] <phenex> what ever :/
[08:24] <tane|> jamiel reboot it :)
[08:24] <jamiel> lol - not an option unfortunately
[08:25] <jamiel> Any other way? Or any tool I can use?
[08:25] <tane|> hmmh...what router is it ?
[08:25] <tane|> model ?
[08:25] <jamiel> netgear
[08:25] <NigelS> jamiel: erm, I guess you could ping scan the local subnet for hosts :)
[08:25] <MonsieurBon> how do I tell emacs to save my tex files in latin1?
[08:25] <AndyA> What kind of support channel is this? I'm hanging here for three days now and noone can solve my problem.
[08:25] <NigelS> jamiel: if it doesn't firewall ICMP requests
[08:26] <jamiel> NigelS, any tools for this where i can specify a range and let it do its thing?
[08:26] <tane|> jamiel use arp
[08:26] <tane|> is your computer connected to it ?
[08:26] <tane|> :)
[08:26] <NigelS> yeah, arp should do it :)
[08:26] <FlannelKing> AndyA: you have to ask the question, sometimes multiple times, since the people that know (for obscure questions) aren't on all the time.
[08:27] <kapputu> kubuntu is so awesome - my ethernet card was not detected. so wasn't my wireless card
[08:27] <kapputu> my laptop wouldn't restart
[08:27] <seroxat> kde lmao
[08:27] <kapputu> ifconfig command hangs
[08:27] <kapputu> thanks kubuntu guys
[08:27] <TheFaction20> How can I get ubuntu installation to recognize my external hard drive?
[08:27] <NigelS> jamiel: if you want to find all hosts and they're not in the arp cache then you can for example do a sudo nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[08:27] <kapputu> 4 hours of my time kaput
[08:27] <AndyA> Yes... Well. patience is a virtue, right.
[08:28] <Pres-Gas> anyone using vnc4?  Is it stable?
[08:28] <ipfw> TheFaction20:  watch /var/log/messages to see what the OS calles the drive, and mount it somewhere
[08:28] <tane|> kapputu you can get them work....
[08:28] <kapputu> I hope no one is using kubuntu
[08:28] <seroxat> whats wrong with kubuntu?
[08:28] <tane|> nothing..
[08:28] <tane|> :=
[08:28] <kapputu> everything
[08:29] <tane|> its same as ubuntu
[08:29] <kapputu> sucks big time
[08:29] <seroxat> no, kde is fine.
[08:29] <seroxat> your personal opinion=/=fact
[08:29] <kapputu> the first release of ubuntu was great
[08:29] <tristanmike> I'm using Kubuntu just now, and I don't have a single issue with it
[08:29] <kapputu> it's much better than the current dapper release
[08:29] <TheFaction20> ipfw=what do u mean?
[08:29] <NigelS> hmm, the *first* release of ubuntu was almost just a rebranded debian sid :)
[08:29] <TheFaction20> i dont exactly follow
[08:29] <seroxat> ... thats your opinion
[08:29] <tane|> kapputu dapper isnt stable yet..
[08:30] <tane|> so dont use it
[08:30] <kapputu> NigelS it was much better though
[08:30] <tonyyarusso> kapputu: Dapper's still pre-release, and may break.  Please report bugs you find at http://launchpad.net/malone
[08:30] <kapputu> tane| thanks for the early warning
[08:30] <BlueOrange> Hi folks, i am (still) trying to get the svideo out port on my thinkpad t21 working. i have downloaded a program called "s3switch" i have uncompressed it and now have two files in my home. 1 of them says its an executable. how do i install or call this command ? ANY help would be appreciated !
[08:30] <NigelS> kapputu: yeah, well I disagree but there we go :)
[08:30] <kapputu> it should be mentioned in bold letters on the download page
[08:30] <debian> ubotu: users are very passive in ubuntu+ )
[08:30] <ubotu> okay, debian
[08:30] <NigelS> kapputu: prob is
[08:31] <kapputu> should not waste other's time
[08:31] <teclo> Hi there, it appears that by default the virtual consoles aren't enabled (ctrl-alt-f1, f2, ...) how can I enable them ?
[08:31] <kapputu> I don't mind spending time to fix stuff
[08:31] <tane|> kapputu: im sure it is writed tehre..
[08:31] <NigelS> BlueOrange: chmod +x ./file;./file
[08:31] <tonyyarusso> BlueOrange: Well, if uncompressing is all you need to do, then cd to the directory, and run './theexecutable'
[08:31] <kapputu> but if my ethernet doesn't work, how am I supposed to seek help?????
[08:31] <Blippe> what should be installed to get x... just pure old x!
[08:31] <tane|> kapputu this way ?
[08:31] <NigelS> kapputu: you really managed to install a beta kubuntu and missed that it was beta? Sounds like pebkac :)
[08:31] <tane|> :D
[08:32] <themachine> any idea why my vsftpd asks for a passwork even though it's supposed to be annoynymous?
[08:32] <TheFaction20> How can I get ubuntu installation to recognize my external hard drive?
[08:32] <kapputu> NigelS - a beta ubuntu should still be able to detect my network card
[08:32] <AndyA> hi. When I write 'sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg' I get error 'conflicting actions --control and --remove'. What does it mean?
[08:32] <themachine> password*
[08:32] <tamale> fairly fresh newbie could use a little setting up his xorg.conf for dual monitors... anyone want to help?
[08:32] <tamale> I have a 7800 GT  (pci express) and the latest nvidia drivers are already installed and working.  Currently X comes up fine on my CRT (secondary, left) monitor, but my LCD is blank
[08:32] <spacey> themachine: thats normal
[08:32] <sethrd> Anyone here running on a Dell laptop?
[08:32] <tonyyarusso> Blippe: I think it's x-window-system-core that you need.
[08:32] <NigelS> kapputu: depends on your network card surely, and there are always bugs
[08:32] <themachine> what is the password supposed to be?
[08:32] <sinisterr> anyone know wht i lib or whatever i need to get the configure command?
[08:32] <spacey> themachine: normally your mail address is used as password when you log in as anonymus
[08:33] <Blippe> tonyyarusso, thanx
[08:33] <spacey> themachine: but it doesn't matter
[08:33] <TheFaction20> How can I get ubuntu installation to recognize my external hard drive?
[08:33] <nahas> hi
[08:33] <themachine> will any email address work like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:33] <tonyyarusso> AndyA: I think that's supposed to be without the space, as in dpkg-reconfigure.
[08:33] <spacey> themachine: anything should work
[08:33] <BlueOrange> "|run ./s3switch" did not work. not sure what to do with "chmod +x ./file;./file" .
[08:33] <kapputu> NigelS - yes, my network card of course. which was detected flawlessly by the thousand other distros I have tried
[08:33] <teclo> hello ?
[08:33] <gabbah> I have the same problem as TheFaction20, I want it to automount my mp3-player
[08:33] <nahas> hi everyone.............
[08:33] <AndyA> thx tonyyarusso
[08:34] <NigelS> kapputu: there not being that many distros aside for now, what is your network card?
[08:34] <nahas> installed jre and set the the path
[08:34] <nahas> but when i installed frostwire
[08:34] <nahas> it doesnt seem to pick up the path..
[08:34] <BlueOrange> i am trying to use the program: http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html at http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html
[08:34] <nahas> any one knows whats the problem???
[08:35] <tonyyarusso> nahas: Did you follow the wiki for it?
[08:35] <MonsieurBon> question: I'd like to use german letters like  in my latex files. I included \usepackage[latin1] {inputenc}. Someone told me, that i have to make sure, that emacs saves the files in latin1. How do I do that?
[08:35] <kapputu> NigelS - forget it
[08:35] <TheFaction20> can anyone help?
[08:35] <NigelS> BlueOrange: it was kinda shorthand sorry "chmod +x ./<file name here>" sets something as being executable (permissions); I said do that in case it wasn't so already. then just type (from the same directory) "./<file name>
[08:35] <nahas> yes i did
[08:35] <kapputu> it's very irritating though
[08:35] <NigelS> kapputu: sure thing; but if you think you've found a genuine bug in the development version make sure you submit that bug
[08:35] <themachine> my vsftpd keeps outputting 500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable anonymous root
[08:35] <themachine>
[08:36] <kapputu> NigelS - I have found genuine *bugs*
[08:36] <tonyyarusso> nahas: 'k.  So what exactly does it tell you instead?
[08:36] <Blippe> how do i check how much space i got left on a harddrive in terminal?
[08:36] <TheFaction20> How can I get ubuntu installation to recognize my external hard drive?
[08:36] <sethrd> Blippe: df -h
[08:36] <nahas> ok one minute toony
[08:36] <void^> Blippe: df -h
[08:36] <BlueOrange> NigelS: thxs. ok, yea im WAY not hop on the shorthand, so thxs. after making sure permissions are set correctly, do i need to type "run" or do i just type "./<file name>
[08:36] <NigelS> kapputu: good for you - hope you reported
[08:36] <Blippe> sethrd, void^ thanks
[08:37] <tamale> isn't there a better way to configure screens other than manually editing a text file in ubuntu?   I mean hell, fedora's got a gui for doing that, right?
[08:37] <pn> Hello I like to set up a computer with ubuntu as in internal mail server with web mail. first i need a simple program for that. which one?
[08:37] <kapputu> NigelS - I'll do that when I'm not this pissed
[08:37] <behemoth> how can i become a more permanent 'root' user? having to type sudo infront of everything is annoying
[08:37] <tamale> behemoth:  try su instead
[08:38] <NigelS> BlueOrange: you just type the file name the "./" is needed to say "from this point in the directory tree; "." means "here" basically
[08:38] <TheFaction20> How can I get ubuntu installation to recognize my external hard drive?
[08:38] <tonyyarusso> behemoth: No, sudo -i
[08:38] <kapputu> I had expected Dapper to work like Breezy though I might not have all the functionality
[08:38] <void^> kapputu: i heard it wasn't automatically trying dhcp on nonconfigured interfaces anymore, perhaps it's as simple as that.
[08:38] <paulproteus> TheFaction20: It should see it as soon as you plug it in.
[08:38] <Root_Of_All_Evil>  I know this is an ubuntu channel, but i need some help installing VidaLinuxOS (vlos)
[08:38] <kublar> hi , whe i try to install sudo apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla
[08:38] <kublar>
[08:38] <behemoth> tonyyarusso: ah, thanks
[08:38] <void^> kapputu: also, if you use beta software, expect the unexpected
[08:38] <kublar> y get this The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:38] <kublar>   flashplayer-mozilla: Depends: gsfonts-x11 but it is not installable
[08:38] <kublar> E: Broken packages
[08:38] <sinisterr> what package do i need to install to be able to use the configure command anyone?
[08:38] <TheFaction20> paulproteus:when im at the partition stage it seems to only see my internal
[08:38] <kapputu> void^ : it tries to detect my platform but just stays there
[08:38] <arrick> bad mistake, I added GNOME to my server, and now it wants to be the default, how do I change this?
[08:38] <NigelS> kapputu: well, can I suggest you do any moaning/griping in the dapper channel :) it could be meaningful there
[08:39] <Root_Of_All_Evil> did anyone succeed installing vlos on an seagate sata hd?
[08:39] <paulproteus> TheFaction20: Oh, you mean in the installer?
[08:39] <TheFaction20> paulproteus:yes, and im on the live cd right now. i ran gparted and it didnt recognize it there either
[08:39] <NigelS> sinisterr: the configure command?
[08:40] <tonyyarusso> arrick: As in you don't want gnome starting up at boot?
[08:40] <Root_Of_All_Evil> neither on my pc nor in vmware i could install vlos. whats wrong with it?
[08:40] <sinisterr> uknow ./configure for compiling
[08:40] <arrick> yep
[08:40] <imperfect-> Anyone know how I can setup a bluetooth keyboard from trhe command line?
[08:40] <loststar454> i am running this game using  ewine its kind of slow  i was woundering if i  shut down gnome then  run the  game would i see a improvement
[08:40] <tonyyarusso> sinisterr: That comes in the sources, it's not a command.  But you do need build-essential.
[08:41] <sinisterr> k
[08:41] <sinisterr> thanks
[08:41] <nahas> i have installed jre in /usr/local/
[08:41] <NigelS> sinisterr: right, yeah the script will balk on errors
[08:41] <BlueOrange> NigelS: great, ok, i have now been able to call the command. i was working on this yesterday with another program which i think was the wrong program for my issue/situation. Hopefully this will be it. thxs.
[08:41] <tonyyarusso> arrick: You'll want to remove GDM from the runlevel; I'll see if I can find it exactly for you here.
[08:41] <NigelS> sinisterr: you don't need a program for that, but it will complain for missing things, that's the idea of them
[08:41] <LoCusF> imperfect-: hidd -i hci0 --connect [hids' BDADDR]
[08:41] <pianoboy3333> anyone here use this: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18591720/ or something like it?
[08:41] <arrick> tonyyarusso: I also have xubuntu installed on here, and gnome wont let me change the display setting, its really small
[08:42] <imperfect-> How do I find the BDADDR?
[08:42] <Alexiel> does ubuntu ask you for a root password on install?
[08:42] <pianoboy3333> no
[08:42] <tonyyarusso> ubotu: tell arrick about fixres
[08:42] <NigelS> BlueOrange: cool - if you have the time it's a good idea to read up on shell commands - in an ideal world you could do everything graphically, but it's nice to know these things :)
[08:42] <Alexiel> so does it have a default root pass?
[08:42] <pianoboy3333> Alexiel: you have to make one yourself, but it's not a good idea to have one for security
[08:43] <nahas> hey tony i have installed jre in /usr/local
[08:43] <TheFaction20> How can I get ubuntu installation to recognize my external hard drive?
[08:43] <NsOmNiAc> pianoboy3333 that looks like one of the default themes for ubuntu
[08:43] <Alexiel> pianoboy3333: can you tell me how to set it? i'm a bit of a newbie
[08:43] <pianoboy3333> Alexiel: the default is none, you can set one with 'sudo passwd root'
[08:43] <behemoth> which package installs the inetd daemon?
[08:43] <ompaul> !sudo
[08:43] <ubotu> [sudo]  a command that will let users run commands as root. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[08:43] <NigelS> TheFaction20: I've not used one, is it connected via Firewire or USB?
[08:43] <Alexiel> pianoboy3333: ty :)
[08:43] <nahas> i have set the path in bashrx file
[08:43] <TheFaction20> NigelS:usb
[08:43] <ompaul> Alexiel, please read that page ^^^ by the bot
[08:43] <tonyyarusso> arrick: 'sudo mkdir /etc/rcbackups/ && sudo cp /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm /etc/rcbackups/ && sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm'
[08:43] <pianoboy3333> NsOmNiAc: it is a ubuntu theme someone made for windoze but I'm having trouble getting the icons to install/work
[08:43] <sinisterr> thanks ppl
[08:44] <kbrooks> !su
[08:44] <ubotu> I guess su is see !sudo
[08:44] <Alexiel> I will do, thanks
[08:44] <TheFaction20> NigelS:it doesnt recgonize it in the partition stage of install or when im using the live cd
[08:44] <tonyyarusso> nahas: Okay, and what does frostwire complain about?
[08:44] <kbrooks> ubotu, su is sudo
[08:44] <ubotu> ...but su is already something else...
[08:44] <kbrooks> ubotu, no, su is sudo
[08:44] <ubotu> okay, kbrooks
[08:44] <kbrooks> !su
[08:44] <nahas> it says it can not find the path
[08:44] <ompaul> Alexiel, before you go changing stuff
[08:44] <nahas> i installed jdk in /usr/local/
[08:44] <kbrooks> !su
[08:44] <ubotu> I guess su is sudo
[08:44] <ompaul> kbrooks, did you look at what su was first?
[08:44] <pianoboy3333> su is pretty pointless if you have sudo
[08:45] <kbrooks> ubotu, no, su is <reply>see sudo
[08:45] <ubotu> okay, kbrooks
[08:45] <nahas> and set the path in bashrc file
[08:45] <kbrooks> ompaul, there, fixed
[08:45] <NigelS> TheFaction20: I see  - I'd have hoped it was covered by the usb-storage module. if you do "lsmod" do you see it?
[08:45] <ompaul> kbrooks, what was it before?
[08:45] <BlueOrange> NigelS: yea, i need to do that. i could also use a good primer on how to read basic "linux syntax" i dont quite know how to make sence of the help and man pages.
[08:45] <themachine> how do I find the directory vsftpd uses to serve files?
[08:46] <kbrooks> ompaul, "see !sudo". i wanted to alias su to sudo
[08:46] <patrick52222> hes a really easie question how do i logon as root, i no the name is root but wats the password, i cant remember seting a password for root
[08:47] <_jason> kbrooks: like this: ubotu: su is <reply> see sudo
[08:47] <kbrooks> ubotu, no, su is <reply> see sudo
[08:47] <ubotu> kbrooks: okay
[08:47] <erUSUL> patrick52222, see the irc Faq (in topic)
[08:47] <LoCusF> imperfect-: sudo hcitool scan
[08:47] <pianoboy3333> Can I get some help? http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18591720/ is the theme I'm using for windows, but I can't get the icons to work. Does anyone use anything similar?
[08:47] <kbrooks> !su
[08:47] <ubotu> hmm... sudo is a command that will let users run commands as root. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[08:47] <kbrooks> OK
[08:47] <TheFaction20> NigelS:i think so under "scsi_mod" it has 3 sd_mod,usb_storage,libata"
[08:47] <kbrooks> :)
[08:47] <ompaul> k
[08:47] <tonyyarusso> nahas: All right, I'm not quite sure.  Have you tested the path setting by seeing if tab-complete will pull it up?
[08:48] <ompaul> kbrooks, more likely to appeal to converts :)
[08:48] <lupu19> hi
[08:49] <behemoth> if i connect to a samba share, why can't i write/update the files on that share?
[08:49] <lupu19> TM???
[08:49] <nahas> if tab-complete ??
[08:49] <TheFaction20> NigelS: its definetely recognizing my usb ports tho
[08:50] <tonyyarusso> nahas: In a terminal, if you start typing a command in the path, and hit tab a few times, it should show up in a list.
[08:50] <nahas> ok
[08:50] <lupu19> where    can  find  server list ?
[08:50] <flugh> can i force apt to reinstall a package? i seem to have broken one, and too many dependancies to remove and reinstall.
[08:51] <lampshade> Does anyone here run electricsheep?
[08:51] <tonyyarusso> flugh: apt-get install --reinstall packagename
[08:51] <sfar_win> Hi, i just installed windows on this box.. and i want to recover GRUB.. I've tried following the guide (using the ubuntu install disc) on the wiki but with no result.. No error msgs, but when i reboot i boot windows :(
[08:51] <NigelS> TheFaction20: ah ok - well have you tried mounting it? if it's your only scsi drive then you should be able to sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/external
[08:51] <flugh> tonyyarusso: ah, thanks. didn't see that with help output. will do :)
[08:52] <sfar_win> i dont have a live cd atm, so is there anything else i can do?
[08:52] <NigelS> TheFaction20: another idea would be to do a "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then plug the drive in and see what messages appear
[08:52] <TheFaction20> NigelS:ill try that last one real quick and let u know
[08:52] <BlueOrange> NigelS: (bittersweet) SUCSESS ! well, i managed to turn on the svideo output, now the tv is showing rotating noise ! :) but AT LEAST ITS ON NOW ! thanks for the advive !
[08:52] <tonyyarusso> sfar_win: Download a live cd?  That's the only one I know of.
[08:53] <NigelS> BlueOrange: hehe that's alright - shame we don't have it by default in ubuntu yet
[08:53] <sfar_win> tonyyarusso, i was hoping to not have to do that :)
[08:53] <nahas> it shows the java commnds
[08:53] <sfar_win> because i dont have any cd-r
[08:53] <BlueOrange> NigelS: yea well, its got to still be linux, right :)
[08:53] <nahas> but frostwire doesnt pick up the path
[08:53] <NigelS> sfar_win: ok - what have you tried so far?
[08:53] <tonyyarusso> sfar_win: Could be worse.  Could be dial-up.  (That was fun.)
[08:53] <Alexiel> I'm new to ubuntu, is there something similar to yum for grabbing and installing apps?
[08:54] <zOrK> How Can I set up Wireless ?
[08:54] <NigelS> BlueOrange: true :P
[08:54] <tonyyarusso> Alexiel: apt-get/aptitude/Synaptic
[08:54] <zOrK> Does anybady has a Manual?
[08:54] <Alexiel> tonyyarusso: thanks
[08:54] <lupu19> llcineva din tm ??????????????????????????????
[08:54] <Blissex> Alexiel: 'apt-get', 'synaptic' is similar to YumEx
[08:54] <NigelS> Alexiel: something not only alike it but better! go to your admin menu and run synaptic
[08:54] <themachine> by default what directory does vsftpd use?

[08:55] <sfar_win> NigelS: the first alternative on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows .. (the one with the install cd)
[08:55] <Maniqui> how can i install better video drivers for my Ati Radeon X700?
[08:55] <sfar_win> when i start the install-cd and go in to rescue-mode.. im presented with a hash, cant i do something from there (except grub-install)
[08:56] <NigelS> TheFaction20: ok, bit naughty to spam in channel but :) try the following now "mkdir /temp/external" folloed by "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /tmp/external"
[08:56] <TheFaction20> NigelS:haha this is my first time so yeah lol. ill go do that
[08:56] <NigelS> sfar_win: yup you can, what you need to do is this - mount your root drive for starters, whichever that is, that's the first step
[08:56] <juztin> my right click menu in xubuntu just stopped working all the sudden...any ideas?
[08:56] <NigelS> TheFaction20: sorry I made a typoo
[08:57] <NigelS> TheFaction20: "mkdir /tmp/external"
[08:57] <tonyyarusso> NigelS: A typoo you say?
[08:57] <sfar_win> NigelS: I think i've done that.. when i type "ls" in the hash i see all the correct files and folders :) (like /home/sfar/)
[08:57] <BlueOrange> NigelS: the command says this is how i can use it: Usage: s3switch [-q]  [crt|lcd|both|tv]  [ntsc|ntscj|pal]
[08:57] <BlueOrange>      but when i try i get: gideon@G-ubuntu:~$ sudo ./s3switch lcd tv ntsc
[08:57] <BlueOrange> Segmentation fault
[08:57] <BlueOrange>
[08:58] <themachine> how can I configure the main directory used for vsftpd? I don't see where the directory can be set.
[08:58] <NigelS> tonyyarusso: yes, bit ironic I suppose :)
[08:58] <BlueOrange> NigelS: i need to change my tv output from pal to ntsc (i think, ntsc is the USA setting, right ? what about ntscj ?
[08:59] <DrBanzai> Yes, NTSC is the USA setting
[08:59] <TheFaction20> NigelS:it says you must specify filesystem type after the "sudo mount" line
[09:00] <MonsieurBon> does anybody know if there is a utf8 latex-package for ubuntu? should be named tetex-unicode, latex-unicode or similar
[09:00] <NigelS> BlueOrange: yeah, a seg fault is a bug in the program  - also those options say tv and lcd are mutually exclusive - choose one
[09:00] <NigelS> TheFaction20: ok, how is your external HD setup?
[09:00] <NigelS> sfar_win: ok, cool - what you need to do now is use chroot to change root dir to the mounted root drive
[09:00] <f8> flash don't work for 64bit?
[09:00] <NigelS> sfar_win: then run grub-install
[09:01] <_jason> MonsieurBon: apt-cache search latex unicode, turns up latex-ucs and latex-ucs-uninames
[09:01] <TheFaction20> NigelS: what do u mean? its plugged into a usb port
[09:01] <NigelS> sfar_win: make any changes you need to /boot/grub/menu.lst too - e.g. add windows option
[09:01] <NigelS> TheFaction20: I mean how is it partitioned
[09:01] <MonsieurBon> _jason, thx
[09:01] <BlueOrange> NigelS: oh, really? gideon@G-ubuntu:~$ sudo ./s3switch
[09:01] <BlueOrange> Devices attached:  CRT LCD TV
[09:01] <BlueOrange> Devices active:    LCD TV
[09:01] <BlueOrange> Current TV format is NTSC
[09:01] <BlueOrange>     but i am still getting garbage on the tv .
[09:01] <idefix__> I was just messing around in the Keyboard Prefs, what does "Alt is mapped to rht right Win-key and Super to Menu mean ??
[09:02] <tonyyarusso> idefix__: Super might be the left Win-key?  (I don't have a Win-key at all, so I'm not sure.)
[09:02] <BlueOrange> anyone know what ntsc is vs ntscj ?
[09:02] <TheFaction20> NigelS:its only got one fat32. ive been trying to set up a partition to place ubuntu but i cant find a free program to do it
[09:02] <sfar_win> NigelS: so i just type "chroot"? And whats "root dir" vs "mounted root drive"?
[09:03] <NigelS> BlueOrange: yeah - you might need to read the manual for that proggie, I'm not familiar with it - what happens if you specify just one option at a time, e.g. tv ntsc
[09:03] <sfar_win> (im newbie)
[09:03] <sfar_win> :)
[09:04] <NigelS> TheFaction20: rightho - well try sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /tmp/external
[09:04] <BlueOrange> NigelS: yea, id like to try that but im kinda scared! what hapens if it shuts off my ctr and the tv is still garnage? will i then be REALLY stuck !?
[09:04] <f8> any alternatives to flash for an amd64?
[09:04] <DrBanzai> A google seach indicates that NTSCJ is the Japan version of NTSC
[09:05] <NigelS> BlueOrange: does this util just work or do you have to alter your xorg settings do you know? :)
[09:05] <BlueOrange> NigelS: i have no idea! i was hoping it would just work :)
[09:06] <TheFaction20> NigelS:it now says /dev/sdc1 does not exhist
[09:06] <biberao> hey
[09:06] <danny_osl> the module for snd-intel-hda is no longer on my system...what on earth package contains the alsa sound drivers?
[09:06] <sfar_win> NigelS: will "chroot" be enough or do i have to enter more information after that command? Because if i have too i need to know what "root dir" and "mounted root drive" is :)
[09:06] <biberao> having problems to set xgl on dapper
