[21:00] <mdeias> joaopinto yes im using Hardy
[21:00] <joaopinto> mdeias, ff3 is the default firefox version, why do you need to create a link ?
[21:00] <tritan> joaopinto, ASULutzy "sudo passwd -l root" does not change the way users-admin display the password field...
[21:01] <asmo[B]> RAdams: I usually search around first, thanks for fullfilling my laziness
[21:01] <asmo[B]> :)
[21:01] <joaopinto> it's passwd -d :P

[21:02] <tritan> joaopinto, I shouldn't need to delete it, just lock it.
[21:02] <ikonia> rohan: I see it now, thank you
[21:02] <mdeias> not working it says that it doesnt have the plugin installed :((
[21:02] <joaopinto> tritan, deleting the passwd will lock it...
[21:03] <ZLemur> not in either, joaopinto
[21:03] <Gin> joaopinto, it should also show up in ifconfig if it has the right driver
[21:03] <ASULutzy> joaopinto, tritan: passwd -l should work, check the man page
[21:03] <joaopinto> Gin, ok
[21:03] <too4> talking about iwconfig, mine doesn't accept the settings i input,it keeps all values null ordefault
[21:03] <ZLemur> i have a driver that people say works, installed with ndiswrapper

[21:03]  * unavailable lol "people say works"

[21:04] <vypadkovyy> thanks
[21:04] <joaopinto> mdeias, firefox is not working ???
[21:04] <ASULutzy> joaopinto: heh, well, I guess not having a password and having a password that isn't possible to enter aren't exactly the same thing ;)
[21:04] <tritan> ASULutzy, joaopinto, but is it "safe (tm)" to delete the root password even if it is locked?
[21:04] <wil_> is there a command which I can use to translate epoch time into yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss?
[21:04] <Gin> ZLemur, is ndiswrapper listed in lsmod?
[21:04] <unavailable> vypadkovyy tell winehq the prob they will help you fix
[21:04] <joaopinto> tritan, yes, that is the default on a ubuntu system for root
[21:04] <ASULutzy> tritan: There's no reason to use -d, -l makes it impossible for anyone to actually log in as root
[21:04] <ZLemur> yes, Gin
[21:04] <mdeias> joaopinto, FF3 yes but not the plugin :(
[21:04] <ZLemur> theres is also mention of it with usbcore
[21:05]  * unavailable sees a reference to final fantacy 3
[21:05] <joaopinto> mdeias, so your problem is not about FF3, but about some plugin (which you didn't named in the first place)
[21:05] <tritan> ASULutzy, that's what I thought. Just got nervous when I saw a password in users-admin. thought i had been owned or something.
[21:05] <Gin> ZLemur, if you run ndiswrapper -l, does it say activated?
[21:05] <ZLemur> says driver installed
[21:05] <mdeias> joaopinto, but what should i do first?
[21:05] <Gin> ZLemur, can you paste the output in pastebin?
[21:06] <joaopinto> mdeias, what are you trying to install, which plugin ?
[21:06] <mdeias> joaopinto, java plugin
[21:06] <too4> zlemur, does it say driver intalled, device present?
[21:06] <ASULutzy> tritan: Heh, no, type man passwd, and check what -l actually does, essentially makes it impossible to log into
[21:06] <ZLemur> it says "netrtlx : driver installed"
[21:06] <ZLemur> that's it
[21:06] <unavailable> mdeias i used both sun... 5 and 6 and it worked

[21:09]  * unavailable says no
[21:10]  * joaopinto neither
[21:10] <yay1> baba, i have
[21:10] <yay1> but i fixed it
[21:10] <ASULutzy> devil: Use sudo. If you are really 100% sure what you want is a root shell, you can use sudo -i or sudo su, or lots of of other similar tricky things, though none are recommended
[21:10] <mdeias> yes
[21:10] <ZLemur> did that link work, Gin ?
[21:10] <mdeias> i am instaling it from the repositories
[21:10] <funkyHat> Right, I'm definitely using the radeon driver... now to work out how to enable AIGLX :/
[21:10] <yay1> wait
[21:10] <yay1> no
[21:10] <yay1> i dont
[21:10] <yay1> :-D
[21:10] <FloodBot1> yay1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:10] <ASULutzy> funkyHat: The Radeon Driver supports 3d?
[21:10] <joaopinto> !enter | yay1
[21:10] <ASULutzy> funkyHat: I thought only the fglrx driver supported 3d
[21:11] <joaopinto> funkyHat, you need fglrx
[21:11] <wil_> I tried date -u -d<PHONE_NUMBER> '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' But that doesn't seem to work
[21:11] <devil> actually i wanna do is instead of typing sudo each time running a admin command is there any way i can log in such a account that  have admin privilages ?
[21:11] <RAdams> devil: sudo su
[21:11] <ASULutzy> devil: sudo -i
[21:11] <RAdams> or that ^
[21:11] <ASULutzy> devil: You never want to graphically login as root
[21:11] <unavailable> devil sudo su
[21:11] <joaopinto> devil, sudo -i
[21:11] <unavailable> lol
[21:11] <unop> wil_,  perl -le 'print scalar localtime(+shift)'<PHONE_NUMBER>
[21:12] <RAdams> yeah pounce on that support
[21:12] <joaopinto> unavailable, sudo su is not recommended since it does not properly set the environment
[21:12] <unavailable> one question gets 5 answers
[21:12] <yay1> devil, i think it is better not to do that. things get messed up unknowingly if you're logged as an admin to do everything
[21:12] <yay1> particulary newbs like us!
[21:12] <yay1> :-D
[21:12] <devil> sudo su and sudo i will make me work as admin and i dont need to type sudo everytime ?/
[21:12] <unavailable> try it once
[21:12] <yay1> but anyway
[21:12] <devil> hmm
[21:12] <joaopinto> devil, first, you should read "man sudo", before getting into admin privileges at all
[21:12] <Gin> ZLemur, it seems ndiswrapper can't detect your card. is it a usb card?
[21:13] <yay1> i am happy that my camera is finally working
[21:13] <devil> okie
[21:13] <un2him> does simple backup suite work with amazon s3?
[21:13] <yay1> i hope it will work when i restart my pc
[21:13] <yay1> :-D
[21:13]  * unavailable thinks he should read that too
[21:13] <ZLemur> no gin, pci
[21:13] <yay1> exit
[21:13] <Gin> ZLemur, what card is it?
[21:14] <ZLemur> gin http://paste.ubuntu.com/22418/  -  it's a trendnet 228pi
[21:14] <ASULutzy> devil: The way you're posing these questions. The only advice I can give you is learn to use sudo. If you stick around in a root shell for long, eventually you will hose your system. Do not make the habit of just opening  a shell and typing sudo -i when you login and leaving it open. You could increase the timeout a little bit on sudo for somewhat of a comrpomise
[21:14] <mortal1> devil, if you want a root terminal just do sudo su
[21:14] <mortal1> but be careful, root does not suffer fools
[21:14] <joaopinto> grrr, mortal that is not the proper way to get root, it's sudo -i
[21:15] <asmo[B]> really slow file transfers with pidgin...
[21:15] <rhalff_> hi are there known issues with segfaulting upgrades on a clean install ? I get it when I try to install a new gutsy installtion inside xen
[21:15] <magnetron> mortal1: nonono, don't use sudo su !!! sudo -i is the proper way
[21:15] <solrize> i just had an upgrade kernel panic, i downloaded a normal update and it said to reboot but crashed on rebooting and i had to revert to an old kernel.  any idea what's up?
[21:15] <AaronMT> asmo[B] are you using the MSN protocol>
[21:16] <dosyl> Hi, Gang I have a little problem. I have LimeWire installed on my ubuntu, but it doesn't work. I don't know because before it worked; I reinstalled it and it doen't work. Do you have any ideas?
[21:16] <Kronos> hi ya guyz i need some help i've installed ubuntu 8.04 yesterday it all ran fine exept it wouldnt permanently mount network drives so i went on the net and found on ubuntu's official site some help file which explained how to mod a txt file only the actual modification proved to be a bit more than i could handle so i decided to give it up i'm fairly sure i didnt save anything on that file today when i started up the machi
[21:16] <Kronos> ne it wouldnt fully load instead it jumps to the txt base loader and displays the follwing messages:
[21:16] <Kronos> modprobe: WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/crypto/blkcipher.ko': No such file or directory
[21:16] <Kronos> modprobe: FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/crypto/ecb.ko': No such file or directory
[21:16] <Kronos> now while i understand that this basicly means that theres files missing form somwhere i belive drivers i dont know if i can easly fix this or if i'm better off just reinstalling ubuntu, thanks in advance.
[21:16] <FloodBot1> Kronos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:16] <joaopinto> dosyl, have you tried running it from the terminal ?
[21:17] <dosyl> no
[21:17] <AaronMT> !flood > Kronos
[21:17] <RAdams> !pastebin | Kronos
[21:17] <magnetron> dosyl: replace it with Frostwire. works better.
[21:17] <devil> okie
[21:17] <joaopinto> dosyl, that would be a good start, since it may display some helpful error msg
[21:17] <funkyHat> joaopinto: ASULutzy the radeon driver has supported 3D for ages, and I have problems with the fglrx driver (both from restricted-modules and envyng)
[21:17] <jerum> can give me someone the german channel? of ubunut?
[21:17] <dosyl> magentar,  Is it working with windows too?
[21:17] <Starnestommy> jerum: #ubuntu-de
[21:17] <funkyHat> joaopinto: ASULutzy I have an old ATi card so it's supported (mostly) by the open source driver
[21:17] <jerum> thx`
[21:18] <joaopinto> funkyHat, glxinfo | grep direct
[21:18] <rohan> devil: yes, i'm here.
[21:18] <mortal1> magnetron, forgive my ignorance, but what's the diff?
[21:18] <magentar> i think i should change my nick name ;)
[21:18] <Kronos> sorry was just trying to explain my prob all in one go to make things easyer
[21:18] <unavailable> so what about sudo su -i
[21:18] <danielm_mc> should be sudo -i
[21:18] <dosyl> magentar,  sorry
[21:18] <unavailable> so what about sudo su -s ??? i meant
[21:18] <danielm_mc> or sudo su -
[21:18] <rohan> or su -
[21:18] <magnetron> mortal1: frostwire has more features. besides that, no diff.
[21:19] <ASULutzy> funkyHat: the radeon open source driver afaik does not do 3d. You will need to use fglrx if you want 3d
[21:19] <Gin> ZLemur, try this driver http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=5&PFid=5&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#372
[21:19] <cleanfuel> how do i undirty my mac partition
[21:19] <joaopinto> mortal, sudo su will not setup the environment variable to match the user root login, that can cause several problems like root owned files/dirs inside the users home dir
[21:19] <ASULutzy> funkyHat: Oh, I didn't see your first post before that
[21:19] <dosyl> joaopinto,  no error message nothing append, I will try in the terminal.
[21:19] <magnetron> ASULutzy: RadeonHD does 3D
[21:19] <ASULutzy> funkyHat: What is ages? Because a couple months ago it didn't.
[21:19] <cleanfuel> HEY!
[21:19] <cleanfuel> how do i undirty my mac partition
[21:19] <ASULutzy> magnetron: Really? Where have I been? Is it good? should I use it over fglrx? I have a 2900XT on my desktop machine
[21:20] <joaopinto> cleanfuel, please detail your question, in english please
[21:20] <unavailable> jaopinto : what about sudo su -s
[21:20] <hax> hi
[21:20] <abe3k> hi guys
[21:20] <cleanfuel> i need to delete a file off hfs+
[21:20] <magnetron> ASULutzy: it's in alpha still. phoronix has a good review of it.
[21:20] <cleanfuel> but my ubuntu is being noobish
[21:20] <joaopinto> unavailable, no, that will just set the shell
[21:20] <funkyHat> ASULutzy: since before gutsy was released
[21:21] <abe3k> how can I format a usb hard drive to make it ntfs under ubuntu ?
[21:21] <ZLemur> thanks Gin. i'll look up how to use that, unless you don't mind informing me. i'm a99% pure linux noob
[21:21] <joaopinto> abe3k, you can used the partition editor
[21:21] <RAdams> !patience | cleanfuel (there is a user error code called PEBKAC)
[21:21] <abe3k> gparted you mean ?
[21:21] <RAdams> cleanfuel: what happens when you try to delete the file?
[21:21] <ASULutzy> funkyHat: Hmmm, so if it's been around for over a year why is it still alpha?
[21:21] <joaopinto> hum, i dont see an mkfs.ntfs
[21:21] <cleanfuel> sry
[21:21] <unavailable> cleanfuel take previous advice and just boot to mac
[21:21] <joaopinto> I am not sure you can format an ntfs part
[21:21] <dosyl> normally what is the extension of the executable woth ubuntu?
[21:21] <cleanfuel> i know i know
[21:22] <RAdams> dosyl: there isn't one
[21:22] <cleanfuel> there isnt an option
[21:22] <abe3k> joaopinto , but ntfs is grayed out in gparted
[21:22] <giantmidget> anyone know a way to convert idx/sub subtitles to srt or anything closer to plain text?
[21:22] <funkyHat> ASULutzy: having some pretty awesome problems with it now though... none of my windows are updating when they have focus :/
[21:22] <jc_> Hello
[21:22] <ASULutzy> funkyHat: But anyway, I have no experience with it; I've managed to get fglrx to do everything I need 3d-wise, but it's good to hear that radeon drivers are coming along in the 3d category
[21:22] <unavailable> cleanfuel so you cant boot to mac??
[21:22] <dosyl> RAdams,  the what I start in the terminal?
[21:22] <joaopinto> abe3k, sorry, I am not sure you can do ntfs formatting
[21:22] <cleanfuel> YES!
[21:22] <cleanfuel> duh
[21:22] <asmo[B]> AaronMT: yes I am using the MSN protocol
[21:22] <RAdams> dosyl: what are you trying to do?
[21:23] <dosyl> RAdams,  for lime wire
[21:23] <jc_> I need to burn an ISO to disk (Samsung's ES-Tool) however I only have one DVD drive - can I somehow eject the ubuntu cd (pulling the cd itself into ram) and then burn a CD with a live setup?
[21:23] <RAdams> !manners | cleanfuel
[21:23] <cleanfuel> terminal yes
[21:23] <ian_>  /server irc.quakenet.org 7000
[21:23] <abe3k> joaopinto , what other filesystem is good for dvd images other than ntfs ?
[21:23] <joaopinto> dosyl, yes you can, but you will need to install ntfsprogs
[21:23] <jc_> Or alternatively, can I make ubuntu boot from USB drive?
[21:23] <giantmidget> abe3k, anything except fat?
[21:23] <RAdams> dosyl: take the advice and remove limewire and install frostwire. I assure you it is leagues better, from personal experience
[21:23] <jc_> or even the samsung es-tool from usb
[21:23] <joaopinto> use fdisk/cfdisk to create the partion, then format it with mkfs.ntfs
[21:23] <ASULutzy> jc_: Why would you need more than one drive to burn a cd?
[21:23] <Kronos> i wrote my problem on paste bin what do i do now, just copy and paste the link?
[21:23] <unavailable> cleanfuel so if you cannot boot to mac, why not just reinstall mac soft?
[21:23] <joaopinto> Kronos, yes
[21:23] <Gin> ZLemur, you will probably need to compile that driver (a kernel module)
[21:23] <cleanfuel> i ahve files
[21:23] <xfls> hey guy, i have a problem viewing web pages which contain flash baners/videos. the cpu usage is over 50% when viewing 1-2 pages. and..that's not depending on the browser firefox/opera/konqueror. I use kubuntu 8.04 and lates versions of the browsers and adobe flash plugin..can someone help me?
[21:23] <abe3k> joaopinto , I have a fat 32 and when I'm copying a file to it its telling me the file is too large
[21:24] <giantmidget> abe3k, if you mean the size constraint, at least...
[21:24] <unavailable> cleanfuel ok save them
[21:24] <dosyl> RAdams, Is it working with windows?
[21:24] <Kronos> http://paste.ubuntu.com/22421/
[21:24] <joaopinto> cleanfuel, how is ubuntu related to your marc problem ?
[21:24] <giantmidget> abe3k, thats cuz fat is stupid and old
[21:24] <joaopinto> erm, mac
[21:24] <Gin> ZLemur, so you need to install build-essential and kernel-header files
[21:24] <abe3k> even 32 ?
[21:24] <RAdams> xfls: is libflashsupport installed?
[21:24] <cleanfuel> ubuntu can see the files
[21:24] <ZLemur> sounds complex
[21:24] <jc_> ASULutzy: I'm using the live cd
[21:24] <cleanfuel> but cant access them
[21:24] <joaopinto> abe3k, you can ntfs format, read my previous answer
[21:24] <abe3k> joaopinto , even 32 ?
[21:24] <giantmidget> abe3k, only supports 2g or so, why dont you use a real filesystem like ezt3?
[21:24] <cleanfuel> other linux users say they have no trouble with this
[21:24] <dosyl> RAdams, because I have others computer with windows
[21:24] <forester> Hi what is the command to tell me which version of glibc I have?
[21:25] <jack-desktop> is there anyway to make a "link" (I think thats what it's called in Windows) in linux?
[21:25] <unavailable> cleanfuel so why cant you boot to mac?
[21:25] <abe3k> giantmidget . cuz its my friends hard drive and he has a windows os
[21:25] <AaronMT> asmo[B]: The reason it's slow is because of the way Microsoft handles the MSN protocol directly from within Windows Live Messenger and other 3rd party IM applications. Microsoft keeps it's code closed source and handles transfers from within WLM, Peer-2-Peer. The way pidgin and other applications are forced to handle file transfers (due to the lack of help of analysing the code from Microsoft) is through sending dire
[21:25] <cleanfuel> i dunno
[21:25] <cleanfuel> wrong kext
[21:25] <ASULutzy> jc_: If you're using the live-cd then why do you need to burn another one?
[21:25] <cleanfuel> must delete it
[21:25] <giantmidget> abe3k, i see. then ntfs is the only way i guess
[21:25] <ASULutzy> jc_: But yea, I have no idea if that will work or not. You can try loading brasero, popping out the cd and popping in a blank, but I'd be surprised if it worked ;)
[21:25] <abe3k> giantmidget . problem is that ntfs is grayd out in gparted
[21:25] <jc_> ASULutzy: I want to burn a samsung utility that works in its own environment (pre-OS)
[21:25] <cleanfuel> then it will boot defualt drivers a happy go go
[21:25] <joaopinto> forester, dpkg -l libc6
[21:25] <cens0red> was the a-bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima justified?
[21:25] <xfls> RAdams: no it's not..i'll install it now
[21:25] <bdoss> Has anyone had this problem before: 'apt-get install foo' fails because of a broken dependency on bar, but 'apt-get install bar' works perfectly fine (and you can install foo fine after installing bar)
[21:26] <Amaranth> asmo[B]: basically Windows Live Messenger sends files directly to/from the users while pidgin currently has to send them to an MS server which then sends them to the other user
[21:26] <ASULutzy> jc_: or perhaps a better idea is to just use dd to burn it
[21:26] <rohan> bdoss: no
[21:26] <giantmidget> abe3k, do you have the driver for it (ntfs-3g i think its called)?
[21:26] <unavailable> cleanfuel you try ##mac ?
[21:26] <jc_> ASULutzy: dd?
[21:26] <forester> joaopinto thanks!
[21:26] <jussi01> !ot | cens0red
[21:26] <ZLemur> gin is there a tutorial link on the topic that you recommend?
[21:26] <ZLemur> something geared towards someone new
[21:26] <ASULutzy> dd if=/the/path/to/the/iso of=/dev/cdrom(or something like this)
[21:26] <abe3k> giantmidget . is there a specific package for that ?
[21:26] <bdoss> rohan: thx for acknowledging :)
[21:26] <cleanfuel> anyway to access a hfs+ with full read and write in linux?
[21:26] <cleanfuel> yo uguys know all the secrets
[21:26] <jc_> ASULutzy: I don't understand :S
[21:26] <giantmidget> abe3k, you should google up ubuntu ntfs support
[21:27] <the-erm> Anyone here know how to change file association for SD cards?  I don't want to use fspot.
[21:27] <Gin> ZLemur, it is easy. install build-essential first
[21:27] <funkyHat> ASULutzy: currently fglrx either just displays a white screen when I try to use compiz, or crashes after a few minutes of use, so that's not much good for me unfortunately :(
[21:27] <rohan> bdoss: but if you're wanting to check a specific package, i can try
[21:27] <abe3k> giantmidget . oh and one more question, can I partition a usb harddrive ?
[21:27] <joaopinto> abe3k, erm, like i said, cfdisk, then mkfs.ntfs
[21:27] <giantmidget> abe3k, your machine can only handle filesystems it has the driver for...
[21:27] <Gin> ZLemur, I can walk you through. it is only a few commands
[21:27] <ZLemur> using apt-get?
[21:27] <Kronos> can anyone please help, i wrote my problem here on paste bin (http://paste.ubuntu.com/22421/)
[21:27] <joaopinto> abe3k, sudo cfdisk, select the usb device, and create a partition
[21:27] <alkisg> Hello, I have a brightness problem in my laptop (it is lowered after some seconds of inactivity), could someone with a laptop tell me the output of "ls /sys/class/backlight"? I have two entries there, acer_acpi and acpi_video0 and I'm wondering if I should remove one if them...
[21:27] <bdoss> rohan: it's some packages that our department is maintaining ourselves, but thanks for offering
[21:27] <the-erm> abe3k: yes you can partition a usb drive yous qtparted ... or program like that.
[21:27] <abe3k> giantmidget . it handels ntfs well , I have hardy
[21:27] <giantmidget> abe3k, no idea, hope someone else knows
[21:27] <jc_> ASULutzy: I cant copy the file over the Ubuntu CD, which is in the drive
[21:27] <Gin> ZLemur, yes, or synaptic
[21:27] <ZLemur> ok
[21:27] <ASULutzy> funkyHat: How much ram do you have? Because if it's more than 3.2 GB, I had to write my own mtrr table rewrite startup script to get fglrx to work with more than 3.2 GB of ram
[21:27] <unavailable> join ##linux
[21:27] <ZLemur> alright, that's going.
[21:27] <unavailable> cleanfuel actually ##linux knows all the secrets
[21:28] <abe3k> the-erm , I have gparted if thats what you mean ?
[21:28] <xfls> RAdams: I installed it but it's not helping..
[21:28] <un2him> does simple backup suite work with amazon s3?
[21:28] <rohan> Kronos: there has been some mess. i have those files on my computer defualt install
[21:28] <ZLemur> alright, gin, build-essentials is installed.
[21:28] <ASULutzy> jc_:What you're trying to do is probably getting into unsupported territory.
[21:28] <the-erm> abe3k: that probably would work.  It fits in "a program like that"
[21:28] <giantmidget> abe3k, ntfs support under linux is not best though, can you use windows tools instead? i know theres one that even supports on-the-flt splitting and so...
[21:28] <Gin> ZLemur, do you have the driver downloaded already? you need to get the linux kernel 2.6.x version
[21:28] <funkyHat> ASULutzy: 2GB, only a pentium M processor. And it's only a mobility radeon 9600 as well
[21:28] <joaopinto> abe3k, yes, he meant qparted, which is similar to gparted but using QT instead of GTK
[21:29] <joaopinto> giantmidget, it is good enough to do an ntfs partition format, there is no need for him to go over windows
[21:29] <ASULutzy> funkyHat: Heh, no clue then! Fglrx is far from amazing, that's for sure
[21:29] <ZLemur> how do i do that easily?
[21:29] <rohan> Kronos: try doing "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic"
[21:29] <CaptainMorgan> something happen to the firefox packages? I removed all traces of firefox and wanted to install firefox 2, but when I go to open the program it's firefox 3... what gives ???
[21:29] <jc_> ASULutzy: So I can't remove the live CD whilst using the live distro, is there no way to do that?
[21:29] <ASULutzy> giantmidget: I don't think NTFS support in Linux is all that bad
[21:29] <Kronos> rohan: kk lets try that
[21:29] <RAdams> xfls: run a flash movie or something that taxes it and tell me the top 3 processes in tops
[21:29] <ASULutzy> giantmidget: I've had no problems with it?
[21:29] <the-erm> This is kinda frustrating something so simple in kde, is impossible in gnome.  I can do all sorts of fun stuff when a drive is connected in kde no problem.
[21:29] <joaopinto> CaptainMorgan, you need to install the package firefox-2, and the command wil be firefox-2
[21:30] <CRASH69> quick doubt, modifying the xorg.conf manually to change the right driver from mesa to the newone, will be the same that change the driver with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[21:30] <ASULutzy> jc_: I don't know, and I'd be surprised if anyone has tried it. Just give it a whirl? What's the worst thing that could happen? I would suggest using dd to burn the cd instead of brasero or some other resource hogging GUI frontend
[21:30] <blumm> joaopinto: does dd also check the iso afterwards? how can i be sure, that it has been successfully been created?
[21:30] <giantmidget> ASULutzy, im just saying that its not native for linux and since there are many better options i dont think its all that bad that you cant do things to it you could under windows...
[21:30] <joaopinto> the-erm, what are you truing to do with a drive on gnome that you can't ?
[21:30] <joaopinto> !iso | blumm
[21:30] <giantmidget> ASULutzy, like on-the-fly splitting or resizing or so
[21:30] <xfls> RAdams: see this shots.. http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/9672/snapshot7vz8.png , http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/9839/snapshot6ws0.png , http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/415/snapshot5uf7.png
[21:30] <joaopinto> blumm, you can mount and check it
[21:30] <ZLemur> oh, geeze, i misread you, Gin.
[21:30] <kesi> hi all, haven't installed from beginning before.   What is the proper mount point when Ihave 2 partitions, one containing vista.  Is it "/"?
[21:31] <jc_> ASULutzy: But how do I eject the drive? Is there a command that overrides the "lock"?
[21:31] <blumm> joaopinto: cheers
[21:31] <CaptainMorgan> joaopinto,  nope! it this opens firefox 3 !! I can't stand this...
[21:31] <minskmaz_> anyone know why my 8.04 desktop is failing on login to a AMD64 a1310n HP ?
[21:31] <ZLemur> yes, gin, i got that driver you linked downloaded
[21:31] <ZLemur> and extracted
[21:31] <Starnestommy> kesi: ubuntu is /, not vista
[21:31] <joaopinto> CaptainMorgan, it works firefox2 for me, firefox3 must be closed, otherwise it will just popup a firefox 3 window
[21:31] <giantmidget> jc_, eject a cd tray?
[21:31] <kesi> Starnestommy, I am installing ubunut
[21:31] <the-erm> joaopinto: I'm just trying to get a custom script to run whenever I insert an sd card.  Just can't seem to figure it out.  I've looked all over the place.
[21:31] <ASULutzy> jc_: This probably isn't the way to go. Why not just install the cd? or pick up a USB stick and create a persistent live-usb instead of trying to do this from cd
[21:31] <glitsj16> CaptainMorgan: that's probably because you have the meta package(s) installed fir firefox, those automatically point to the latest firefox packages, remove them and install firefox-2
[21:31] <ASULutzy> *.aef
[21:31] <kesi> Starnestommy, err Ubuntu and trying to partition
[21:31] <ASULutzy> mt
[21:32] <giantmidget> jc_, cause then its eject [drive] or eject [mountpoint], if your fstab is correct
[21:32] <kesi> how much swap space do I need?
[21:32] <jc_> ASULutzy: How would I make a ubuntu live USB drive?
[21:32] <CaptainMorgan> firefox-2 is correctly installed . :)
[21:32] <Starnestommy> kesi: it depends on how much ram you have
[21:32] <gorg_> hello
[21:32] <cjr486> if anyone here can assist with the b43 module config for a broadcom4306(r3) for hardy-64, it would be greatly appreiciated
[21:32] <giantmidget> anyone know a way to convert idx/sub subtitles to srt or any format closer to readable text?
[21:32] <kesi> Starnestommy, 2 GB
[21:32] <Starnestommy> kesi: 1 GB of swap should work
[21:32] <joaopinto> CaptainMorgan, ls -la $(which firefox)
[21:33] <ASULutzy> jc_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent should work with a little luck
[21:33] <gorg_> at my work we have a home-pc-deal. (all dell-machines)
[21:33] <Kronos> rohan: not sure its going to work as it just seems to be sitting there doing nothing, i can hear the HDD seeking but on screen nothing's happening
[21:33] <joaopinto> giantmidget, try with aegisub
[21:33] <jc_> Thanks for the help
[21:33] <rohan> Kronos: strange. it should complete the process in a few seconds
[21:33] <gorg_> ..which laptop would u've preferred to linux os?
[21:33] <kesi> Starnestommy, is that just arbitrary or is there some formula that should be used?
[21:33] <rohan> Kronos: we're basically just re-installing the package
[21:33] <giantmidget> joaopinto, ill look it up, thank you :)
[21:33] <Gin> ZLemur, sory, you don't have to compile the driver yourself. see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RTL8180L
[21:33] <CaptainMorgan> thank you joaopinto - apparently I did have another process of firefox3 open..... in the background....
[21:34] <Starnestommy> kesi: arbitrary
[21:34] <joaopinto> CaptainMorgan, ok, that explains ;)
[21:34] <Kronos> rohan: package, the whole OS or just..?
[21:34] <Starnestommy> kesi: the less ram you have, the more swap you need
[21:34] <rohan> Kronos: that one package. can you paste the output?
[21:34] <Kronos> rohan: as i'm not sure apt-get will work as its wireless and those things usualy need a nice runing enviroment to connect
[21:35] <joaopinto> kesi, there is a common used formula, swap = 2xram, but some peolpe don't agree with it for large memory systems
[21:35] <ZLemur> thanks Gin - i'll give that a go
[21:35] <Kronos> rohan: i would if there was any but it just sat there showing me a prompt
[21:35] <dosyl> RAdams,  Frostwire does the same tihing, nothing append when I click it!!!!!
[21:35] <rohan> Kronos: if that package is already downloaded, it should not take any time.
[21:35] <joaopinto> dosyl, have you tried to launch it from the terminal ?
[21:35] <kesi> joaopinto, I have 300 GB of space so I'm not hurting there.  I'm just looking for the best performance I can get
[21:36] <rohan> Kronos: and even otherwise, it should some _some_ output. press CTRL-C, and then type "sudo apt-get -f install", does that show any output?
[21:36] <joaopinto> kesi, I always follow the 2xram rule, it doesn't hurt
[21:36] <dosyl> no because I don't know what is the extension file I must ot launch!
[21:36] <rohan> joaopinto: now-a-days, that much swap is just not required.
[21:36] <kesi> joaopinto, thanks!
[21:37] <joaopinto> rohan, well, I would argue with that, it all depends on what you are running ;)
[21:37] <cjr486> hi I've got a prob.... with the b43 module, it loads and says that everything is working fine, but when I go to nm-applet to connect, I get no networks even when 1ft from my access point. any help?? once again I'm running a compaq presario r3000 with a broadcom 4306 (rev3)
[21:37] <dosyl> RAdams, no because I don't know what is the extension file I must ot launch!
[21:37] <peterretief> i have just installed cnc3 after installing wine 1 almost all works except the sound
[21:37] <rohan> joaopinto: agreed :) but for normal desktop use, that much swap is too much. e.g. 2gb ram is normal, so if you've a 4gb swap, it's just overkill
[21:37] <joaopinto> peterretief, better ask on #winehq
[21:38] <joaopinto> rohan, it doesn't hurt, it will only be used if required
[21:38] <peterretief> joaopinto: ok thanks
[21:38] <rohan> joaopinto: ofcourse :)
[21:38] <jc_> ASULutzy: My stick isn't big enough
[21:38] <jc_> haha wait
[21:38] <Kronos> rohan: it did nothing again, the ctrl + c didnt do aynthing either, just to clear something i'm in the txt based loader which packed up before it even laded up gnome
[21:38] <cancerb0y> i configured tomcat and tried running it... it started well but nothing shows up in the browser.. please help me
[21:38] <jc_> I mean, its only a 1gb pen drive and ubuntu's installer is complaining
[21:39] <joaopinto> rohan, image you are running 4x1GB VMs, are most of the time, 2 of them have no activity, they are better swapped out :P
[21:39] <ZLemur> hrm, gin, it won't let me move those files to /opt
[21:39] <rohan> joaopinto: lol, that's not normal desktop use is it ;)
[21:39] <Kronos> rohan: the last thing it reads before stopping is activating swap right after "setting kernel variables"
[21:39] <ASULutzy> jc_: I'm not sure you can do what you want to do without either installing ubuntu to the hard drive, booting into another OS, buying another CD-rom drive, or buying a bigger USB stick
[21:39] <dosyl> joaopinto,  what is the file we must to launch? Sorry because I begin with ubuntu!
[21:39] <rohan> Kronos: you're not on a bash terminal?
[21:39] <Gin> ZLemur, did you add sudo ?
[21:39] <joaopinto> dosyl, probably "frostwire"
[21:39] <joaopinto> from the terminal
[21:39] <cjr486>  hi I've got a prob.... with the b43 module, it loads and says that everything is working fine, but when I go to nm-applet to connect, I get no networks even when 1ft from my access point. any help?? once again I'm running a compaq presario r3000 with a broadcom 4306 (rev3) or could someone please point me to where I can find some help with this...
[21:40] <dosyl> joaopinto, the extension?
[21:40] <rohan> Kronos: you need to reboot into single user mode, and then type the apt-get install --reinstall command i originally gave.
[21:40] <Kronos> rohan: nop i'm on some sort of half loaded txt based loader, after the pretty
[21:40] <jc_> ASULutzy: Are there any distros that can burn CDs and also will fit on my pendrive?
[21:40] <rohan> Kronos: on startup, do you have the entry of Rescue Mode?

[21:43] <bonner> hey guys... Can any one tell me how can I change my Default display manager. (now its KDE, I want to change it to GNOME). Even the login window also should be displayed by GDM.
[21:43] <caldo_de_cana> how do I connect to an WPA connection?
[21:43] <ZLemur> do the .inf and .sys need to be in /opt, or can the whole folder they're in be there?
[21:43] <joaopinto> abe3k, I would run a scandisk from windows...
[21:43] <KrimZon> ripps: presumably you just change the filenames and copy them to where gnome keeps iconsets
[21:43] <ripps> joaopinto: I don't see why not, both just use icons that are setup for specified purposes.
[21:43] <soto> Anyone have systemtap running on Hardy? I've followed the instructions on the systemtap wiki but it says "missing kernel debuginfo"
[21:44] <gordonjcp> caldo_de_cana: select it in the network manager, type in the WPA key

[21:44] <joaopinto> ripps, sure, but they have different set's of actions, which may not have a reasonable match for an automated converter
[21:44] <giantmidget> joaopinto, isnt that what dosfsck is for?
[21:44] <ZLemur> or is that just for good housekeeping and the files can technically be anywhere?
[21:44] <bonner> hey guys... Can any one tell me how can I change my Default display manager. (now its KDE, I want to change it to GNOME). Even the login window also should be displayed by GDM.
[21:44] <caldo_de_cana> gordonjcp: hmm... where do I access network manager?
[21:44] <joaopinto> giantmidget, dosfsck is the linux implementation, is nos the same as running MS scandisk
[21:44] <ZLemur> oooo it sees my hardware now, thanks gin!
[21:44] <ripps> KrimZon: the problem is I don't know what the filenames are. I was hoping a script could do most of the work for me.
[21:45] <blumm> how can i tell a program to open in a certain size (like terminal eg.) ?
[21:45] <caldo_de_cana> gordonjcp: oh, I think I found it.
[21:45] <giantmidget> joaopinto, i thought it was able to scan/repair, too... my bad, then
[21:45] <abe3k> giantmidget, I tried dosfsk but it found no errors
[21:45] <joaopinto> giantmidget, it may be, but I guess is not widely used...

[21:57] <abe3k> joaopinto , gimme what you got
[21:57] <grendal_prime> get rid of it and install gtk-gnutella
[21:57] <joaopinto> abe3k, lol, after all this trouble :P
[21:57] <codecowboy> prodigel, nope
[21:57] <joaopinto> abe3k, either use gparted, or cfdisk
[21:57] <unavailable> why does this happen.....   cd /media | sudo mkdir Leopard2 | sudo mount -w -t hfsplus /dev/sdb2 /media/Leopard2 returns: mount: mount point /media/Leopard2 does not exist    but dir returns Leopard2
[21:57] <pieopa> hey I got an intel 9**gm chipset sony viao and I cant
[21:57] <dosyl> grendal_prime, yes can you help me?
[21:57] <rohan> Kronos: also, note the partition onto which you've got ubuntu installed. then ping me
[21:57] <codecowboy> settings ->preferences -> audio. look for advanced checkbox bottom right
[21:57] <pieopa> opps get the 3d acceleration to work
[21:58] <joaopinto> abe3k, you know the device name associated with your usb device right ?
[21:58] <george___> I've installed fluxbuntu on an acer satellite pro A120 I input my uname and password the screen flashes and gets me back to the login window again...
[21:58] <abe3k> joaopinto ,  ok heres the thing with gparted, I have many filesystems available but ntfs formatting is grayd out
[21:58] <pieopa> I've done some searchin and can't find it
[21:58] <abe3k> joaopinto ,  yeah /dev/sdd1
[21:58] <joaopinto> abe3k, you just need to create the partition, to format you will use the command line utility
[21:58] <codecowboy> prodigel, then output modules
[21:58] <abe3k> joaopinto ,  ok what will I need ?
[21:58] <george___> ive made sure that my login details are corrent, i manage to boot into root and try to startx but same thing there...
[21:59] <Kronos> rohan: still booting but the partition will be the one and only it creates as i've let it use all the space on the HDD for one partition
[21:59] <joaopinto> abe3k, you need to install the ntfs-progs package
[21:59] <pieopa> I also can't find a ndiswrapper equivilent for windoze video card drivers
[21:59] <Guest58586> ubottu: un remove
[21:59] <abe3k> joaopinto ,  ok  just a sec
[21:59] <codecowboy> prodigel Audio output module dropdown. try the different options there. alsa works for me.
[21:59] <rohan> Kronos: wonderful :)
[21:59] <Guest58586> ubottu: unremove
[21:59] <unavailable> !askthebot
[21:59] <joaopinto> sorry, it's ntfsprogs

[21:59] <abe3k> joaopinto ,  yeah I noticed
[21:59] <Guest58586> thanks unavailable
[21:59] <xfls> hi, i have a problem viewing web pages which contain flash baners/videos. the cpu usage is over 50% when viewing 1-2 pages. and..that's not depending on the browser firefox3/opera 9.50/konqueror. I use kubuntu 8.04 and lates version of adobe flash plugin..can someone help me?
[22:00] <abe3k> joaopinto ,  cool done
[22:00] <abe3k> joaopinto ,  now what ? ^^
[22:00] <unavailable> !undelete > guest58586
[22:00] <unavailable> why does this happen.....   cd /media | sudo mkdir Leopard2 | sudo mount -w -t hfsplus /dev/sdb2 /media/Leopard2 returns: mount: mount point /media/Leopard2 does not exist    but dir returns Leopard2
[22:00] <joaopinto> abe3k, was the partition already created ?
[22:01] <codecowboy> xfls, the flash plugin on linux is crap. complain to adobe
[22:01] <abe3k> joaopinto ,  it has only 1 partition
[22:01] <joaopinto> unavailable, sudo mkdir /media/Leopard2
[22:01] <rohan_> 02:30 < rohan> xfls: this is a wild guess, but try installing the package "libflashsupport", then restart firefox to see if it works
[22:01] <abe3k> joaopinto ,  I mean no partition
[22:01] <abe3k> joaopinto , one whole lump
[22:01] <dosyl> To execute a file in the terminal, Do we need a command or we write only the file?
[22:01] <joaopinto> abe3k, ok, just create one with gparted, ntfs type
[22:01] <unavailable> joaopinto read it again   cd /media | sudo mkdir Leopard2 | sudo mount -w -t hfsplus /dev/sdb2 /media/Leopard2 returns: mount: mount point /media/Leopard2 does not exist    but dir returns Leopard2
[22:01] <AJC_Z0> If you think Flash is crap on Linux, try a BSD. Adobe loves Linux compared to BSD
[22:01] <abe3k> joaopinto , ok one sec
[22:01] <xfls> rohan_ : i installed it but it's not helping..
[22:02] <joaopinto> unavailable, read again my answer, which does not match with your command
[22:02] <joaopinto> oh, it does
[22:02] <jussi01> !flash | rohan xfls
[22:02] <Kronos> rohan: to be quite honest i belive i should start apologising here as it seems to have stopped while loading the live CD...
[22:02] <xfls> that's in not helping too
[22:02] <rohan> jussi01: thanks, but i don't have any problem with flash :)
[22:02] <abe3k> joaopinto , cool ntfs isn't grayed out now :)
[22:02] <joaopinto> or maybe not, since you doing it too complex, and most of the times, errors come when you turn a simple mkdir path into a complex chain of commands
[22:02] <rohan> Kronos: what has stopped?
[22:03] <joaopinto> abe3k, exit gparted writting the changes
[22:03] <Kronos> rohan: now as far as i know that can only be memory or most likely the processor is duff
[22:03] <george___> I've installed fluxbuntu on an acer satellite pro A120 I input my uname and password the screen flashes and gets me back to the login window again. ive made sure that my login details are corrent, i manage to boot into root and try to startx but same thing there..

[22:03] <unavailable> joaopinto with the same result

[22:05] <joaopinto> unavailable, if you are goint to mount something under media, it is simpler to mkdir /media/whatever, instead of cd /media | mkdir whatever, because, among other things, cd | mkdir is wrong
[22:05] <theFATMAN> Pici, huh, I was looking at the gnome site, and some of the listed features arent in my distro
[22:06] <giantmidget> how did ubottu do that? did someone tell it about the french post or did it recognize that by itself? just curious...

[22:06] <Pici> theFATMAN: Like what?

[22:07] <metalpres> does anyone know if there is a way to set bandwidth priorities in ubuntu similar to the way you can set process priorities for cpu usage?  I want a couple apps to use 100% cpu but then use less when im running other things like firefox or something
[22:07] <unavailable> joaopinto but when we went sudo mount blah blah blah we got the error

[22:07] <metalpres> err... i meant i want apps to use 100% bandwidth
[22:07] <joaopinto> unavailable, I can't analyze other sequence for which I have not seen the output, the command that you shown me was wrong

[22:07] <joaopinto> ops, george___ that was not for you !

[22:08] <giantmidget> jussi01, cool. im just never brave enough to use these, scared of messing up something :p
[22:08] <joaopinto> abe3k, make sure you use the correct device name, or your will destroy a partition
[22:08] <abe3k> joaopinto , it says initilizing device with zeros but nothing is happening
[22:08] <rohan> joaopinto: that will FORMAT and destroy all the data!
[22:08]  * codecowboy wonders if anyone actually answers questions in here or if its just a lot of people shouting into an empty hole
[22:08] <joaopinto> rohan, what is what he wants at the moment
[22:08] <unavailable> joaopinto this is another strange occourance  ..  mkdir: cannot create directory `Leopard': File exists  mount: mount point /media/Leopard does not exist
[22:08] <jussi01> CristianCT46: I have the same card - the radeon driver :)
[22:08] <abe3k> joaopinto , oh wait we've got lifesigns
[22:09] <rohan> joaopinto: ok, sorry, i was not following the conversation :)
[22:09] <vlt> metalpres: And lartc.org
[22:09] <joaopinto> abe3k, you are trying creating something which already exists, on the wrong place
[22:09] <unavailable> joaopinto thats after the full command
[22:09] <joaopinto> trying to create

[22:09] <CristianCT46> jussi01, but how can i install it?
[22:09] <amalgamated> what what?! an ubuntu stock kernel isn't configured for semaphores? "ipcs -s" reports "kernel not configured for semaphores"
[22:09] <george___>  I've installed fluxbuntu on an acer satellite pro A120 I input my uname and password the screen flashes and gets me back to the login window again. ive made sure that my login details are corrent, i manage to boot into root and try to startx but same thing there..
[22:09] <CristianCT46> i've got hardy heron for amd64 architecture
[22:10] <jussi01> CristianCT46: it should already be installed
[22:10]  * unavailable notices everyone is talking to joaopinto.
[22:10] <theFATMAN> how do i override my resolution? it is capable of 75mhz, but it only shows 60mhz in the options. i have a really bad flicker because of this
[22:10] <abe3k> joaopinto , What do you mean ? :|
[22:10] <codecowboy> amalgamated, waving flags at your computer does not help
[22:10] <CristianCT46> jussi01, is already active?
[22:10] <joaopinto> unavailable, cd /path | mkdir path, should be replaced with cd path && mkdir path
[22:10] <jussi01> CristianCT46: yes
[22:10] <abe3k> joaopinto , I think things are going well **Gulp**
[22:10] <rohan> amalgamated: no, here i get proper output on a default generic kernel. though i do not understand it.
[22:10] <joaopinto> abe3k, it should be fine once mkfs.ntfs is over
[22:10] <Pici> amalgamated: That command doesnt give me that error message here.
[22:10] <DoubleD> hello
[22:10] <abe3k> joaopinto , damn its slow ...
[22:10] <Pici> amalgamated: I'm on 2.6.24-19-generic
[22:10] <joaopinto> unavailable, cd /media | mkdir path will execute both commands from /
[22:11] <joaopinto> abe3k, don't ask me, I dont usually format to ntfs :P
[22:11] <abe3k> joaopinto , isn't there any fast format option ?
[22:11] <CristianCT46> jussi01, i have tried to run Half-life 2 with wine 1.0, the game start, but it go slow. depend by driver?
[22:11] <metalpres> vlt: what is man tc?
[22:11] <unavailable> joaopinto but it attempted to create "path" but couldnt because "path" was already there.. further "path" was not found to mount at.
[22:11] <rohan> amalgamated: have a look - http://rafb.net/p/KwAlFl33.html
[22:11]  * codecowboy slits his wrists. the blood sprays everyone in the room. he is dead now. if only they had listened.
[22:11] <joaopinto> aba-, no idea, man mkfs.ntfs
[22:11] <theFATMAN> how do i override my resolution? it is capable of 75mhz, but it only shows 60mhz in the options. i have a really bad flicker because of this
[22:11] <DoubleD> unavailable: has the dhcp issue been resolved yet ? i've found a new link to an other solution
[22:11] <unavailable> yep
[22:11] <unavailable> that fixed it
[22:11] <jussi01> CristianCT46: could be many things - but no, shouldnt be the driver.
[22:11] <rohan> metalpres: type that in a terminal - "man tc" and press enter
[22:11] <joaopinto> unavailable, because you were creating /Leopard, and not /media/Leopard
[22:11] <Ace2016> If i have a laptop with an lcd, vga and hdmi outputs can i do a 3x monitor setup? i have an nvidia 8400gs graphics card
[22:11] <DoubleD> unavailable: what. the link i gave earlier ?
[22:12] <unavailable> joaopinto so /leopard exists?
[22:12] <unavailable> doubled yes
[22:12] <CristianCT46> jussi01, so what? on windows the game go perfectly
[22:12] <xintron> How do I scroll in the top list? Running process that is?
[22:12] <joaopinto> unavailable, yes, but that is not what you want, you want mkdir /media/Leopard
[22:12] <ParanoyaM> Dear Sirs, does anybody know where i can found option --tee for iptables/
[22:12] <DoubleD> unavailable: it didnt work for me. im trying this now; http://adam.rosi-kessel.org/weblog/2008/06/21/a-much-simpler-fix-for-the-r8169-link-down-problem
[22:12] <theFATMAN> how do i override my resolution? it is capable of 75mhz, but it only shows 60mhz in the options. i have a really bad flicker because of this
[22:12] <Kronos> rohan: right quick double check here i have 1GB of DDR400 in the PC and its now just gone 13 mins memtest86's been running and it hasnt completed 1 single pass, its now on test 6 at 49% and going amazingly slow my old gamming PC i just sold had 2GB of DDR400 and it used to do a pass in a couple of mins (ok rather expensive memory but still)
[22:13] <giantmidget> xintron, you might wanna try htop instead
[22:13] <xintron> giantmidget: okej
[22:13] <jussi01> CristianCT46: Im not a wine expert, I only run linux games
[22:13] <abe3k> joaopinto , if you read in the news paper that someone was killed because of formatting a friends usb drive .. thats me
[22:13] <loGic> does anyone know how to run a usb-connected hard drive to a laptop?
[22:13] <devil> guys gyach works in ubuntu ?
[22:13] <giantmidget> xintron, its scrollable, searchable, functio-button-able and all... very sweet :)
[22:13] <Kronos> rohan: sounds to me like somethings not right and i'm still betting on that (possibly) dodgy e-bay processor
[22:13] <xintron> giantmidget: Nice :D
[22:13] <Colin1> Anyone know why emerald only seems to effect my borders?
[22:13] <CristianCT46> jussi01, anyway thanks a lot...
[22:13] <jonaskoelker>   question:   when I mount a thing, the mount shows up on my gnome desktop.  For some specific mount points, I don't want to see the drive icon.  Can I make that happen?  How?
[22:14] <joaopinto> abe3k, ehehe
[22:14] <Ace2016> ace
[22:14] <abe3k> joaopinto , so isn't htere any fast format option ?
[22:14] <abe3k> there
[22:15] <loGic> ---------anyone know how to run a usb-connected hard drive through a laptop?
[22:15] <Oli``> CristianCT46: one of the issues at the moment is Pulseaudio (on by default in Hardy) and Wine's various audio drivers. There just isn't a good solution at the moment for things that require more than one audio connection (like Steam games)
[22:15] <Colin1> So I'm guessing no? 8-)
[22:15] <rohan> Kronos: hehe :)
[22:15] <devil> anyone who is using gyach in ubuntu ?
[22:15] <theFATMAN> how do i override my resolution? it is capable of 75mhz, but it only shows 60mhz in the options. i have a really bad flicker because of this
[22:15] <abe3k> loGic , it usually shows up on my desktop
[22:15] <Trevor_> How do I do a CLI from the Hardy Alternate Disk?
[22:15] <IndyGunFreak> loGic: my first thought would be to plug it in.
[22:15] <Nostahl> hi all can i repair an ubuntu installation by placing the disk in and going into grub restore?
[22:15] <Colin1> theFATMAN, are ya on nvidia?
[22:15] <Kronos> rohan: good guess or u still reckon it could be ok?
[22:15] <theFATMAN> Colin1: ATI HD 2400 XT
[22:16] <devil> logic it wud b auto detected ...
[22:16] <loGic> really? well my laptop doesn't have an internal hard drive
[22:16] <abe3k> anyone whink that wine could run assassins creed ?
[22:16] <Colin1> Ah, then I don't know.  I had that same prob with nvidia.
[22:16] <xintron> giantmidget: htop is great! :D
[22:16] <IndyGunFreak> loGic: using the internal drive, and BOOTING the internal drive, is very different
[22:16] <magnetron> abe3k: to find out, check appdb
[22:16] <giantmidget> xintron, hehe, told you :)
[22:16] <loGic> so that really doesn't work...im trying to boot the computer through the usb-connected hard drive
[22:16] <magnetron> !appdb | abe3k
[22:16] <george___>  I've installed fluxbuntu on an acer satellite pro A120 I input my uname and password the screen flashes and gets me back to the login window again. ive made sure that my login details are corrent, i manage to boot into root and try to startx but same thing there..
[22:16] <IndyGunFreak> loGic: you'll need to check your bios, to see if it has the ability to boot a USB device
[22:17] <xintron> Btw, firestarter is using max CPU, why might that be?
[22:17] <gz2aa> If I want to find out which processes are sending out most of network packages to local loop back interface, any tool I can use on Linux?
[22:17] <loGic> how would i go about doing that? setup menu?
[22:17] <george___> can some1 help with the problem ive got?
[22:17] <Colin1> So anyone have any clue about my prob?  Emerald will only change borders.  Nothing else.
[22:17] <loGic> IndyGunFreak: it gives me two options 1) retry 2) setup
[22:17] <IndyGunFreak> loGic: your system bios is where the option to boot from a USB device is, you'll have to go through your BIOS settings.
[22:18] <murlidhar> i am not able to install ubuntu from minimal install cd
[22:18] <unavailable> joaopinto unless you can explain why *when we manually changed to /media then created Leopard* it still couldnt find the mountpoint *while in /media we ran dir and Leopard came back* but /media/Leopard doesnt exist
[22:18] <loGic> Indy: ok...sounds good...how?
[22:18] <murlidhar> i am not able to install ubuntu from minimal install cd
[22:18] <devil> any1 can tell me if gyach works in ubuntu and how to install it ?
[22:18] <kkathman> Colin1,  what else do you want it to change?
[22:18] <magnetron> abe3k: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11069
[22:18] <azexian> hi, need help calibrating my touchscreen (lifebook b series), I'm trying to use evtouch driver, any help appreciated
[22:18] <Colin1> kkathman, pretty much everything.
[22:18] <IndyGunFreak> loGic: well, you'll need to figure that out, all bios are different(many can't boot USB devices so you might be SOL)... go through the bios, and look at your "Boot Sequence", and try making USB first
[22:19] <kkathman> Colin lol - it doesnt... use system-preferences-appearance for the rest
[22:19] <devil> any1 can tell me if gyach works in ubuntu and how to install it ?
[22:19] <kkathman> Colin1,  that is - see above
[22:19] <devil> any1 can tell me if gyach works in ubuntu and how to install it ?
[22:19] <kkathman> heh
[22:19] <loGic> Indy: cool...i'll try...will it say USB drive or does it have some kind of "code" name? any idea?
[22:19] <Colin1> kkathman Ah, just saw some nice looking ones on youtube.  I just got into linux and wanted some sexy desktop stuff.

[22:23] <fahd-malik87> Hi
[22:23] <magnetron> abe3k: which version of wine did you use?
[22:23] <lmosher> Can someone help me resolve this issue: qtiplot: Depends: libqt4-qt3support (>= 4.3.3) but it is not going to be installed
[22:23] <Colin1> kkathman Um... mind if I just give you a link to a youtube vid?
[22:23] <unop> theFATMAN, it might be to do with the fact that the driver module loaded for your graphics card isn't capable of setting your monitor up for that refresh rate - look into whether you can install a better driver - if one is available
[22:23] <fahd-malik87> i am new here
[22:23] <kkathman> sure
[22:23] <azexian> anyone? need help setting up a touchscreen
[22:23] <kkathman> go ahead Colin1
[22:23] <abe3k> magnetron , final one I guess , its up to date
[22:23] <fahd-malik87> and i need help
[22:23] <IndyGunFreak> !enter | fahd-malik87
[22:23] <theFATMAN> unop: thank you, can you point me in the right direction?
[22:23] <Colin1> Ok, sec
[22:24] <Pici> fahd-malik87: Just ask your question, and if someone knows the answer, they will answer.
[22:24] <kilgore> is there a program to easily check both wireless and wired etworks and connect to them from the terminal?
[22:24] <abe3k> magnetron , intro is perfect , main menu is perfect, loading is good, but game is unplayable
[22:24] <george___>  I've installed fluxbuntu on an acer satellite pro A120 I input my uname and password the screen flashes and gets me back to the login window again. ive made sure that my login details are corrent, i manage to boot into root and try to startx but same thing there..
[22:24] <george___> can some1 assist me ?
[22:24] <magnetron> abe3k: that didn't really answer my question
[22:25] <kilgore> is there a program to easily check both wireless and wired networks and connect to them from the command line??
[22:25] <kkathman> colin1 if you are interested in OSX like themes, here's a popular site to make ubuntu mimic osx:  http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11
[22:25] <Colin1> kkathman May take a sec.
[22:25] <kilgore> oops double post
[22:25] <IndyGunFreak> damn, gotta rol

[22:25] <abe3k> magnetron , I have wine 1.0
[22:25] <rohan> Kronos: no problem, i'm always happy to help :)
[22:25] <fahd-malik87> i just installed ubuntu 7.10, and whenever i boot, there other drives in my hard disk are not visible on desktop, but when i go to 'Computer" and open those drives, they appear on desktop, is there a way that my drives can be visible from the time ubunto boots up?
[22:26] <unop> theFATMAN, first you have to identify your graphics card's make and model number - use lspci or lshw from a terminal and look through the output - then go onto the manufacturer's website, see if they support linux and download and install the drivers for that particular card - if not, look around on the various forums around to see what other people have done
[22:26] <magnetron> abe3k: ok, that's the latest. other gamers would benefit from your test results, please post them to appdb
[22:26] <theFATMAN> unop: hey thank, you've been a big help!
[22:27] <Colin1> kkathman OH, it was called the dock.  This might be what I was looking for.
[22:27] <kkathman> Colin1,  look up and try Cairo-Dock its very good
[22:27] <kkathman> its almost exactly like osx
[22:28] <unop> theFATMAN, you're welcome, i'm sorry i couldn't help better but .. this can't be done any other way
[22:28] <abe3k> magnetron , I had everything maxed out I'll try to lower things from the graphics settings and see how it works
[22:28] <lmosher> Can someone help me resolve this issue: qtiplot: Depends: libqt4-qt3support (>= 4.3.3) but it is not going to be installed
[22:29] <aHTU4aJlrap> heyy
[22:30] <adac> why the gnome applet doen't show me the temperature?
[22:30] <ompaul> !sensors | adac this may have something to do with it
[22:30] <fahd-malik87> i just installed ubuntu 7.10, and whenever i boot, the other drives(C,D) in my hard disk are not visible on desktop, but when i go to 'Computer" and open those drives, they appear on desktop, is there a way that my drives can be visible from the time ubunto boots up?
[22:31] <btice> Hello. Is there anywhere to still get mp3 codecs easily for an edgy (6.10) installation? It's on an antique laptop (ThinkPad 390E) so I don't want to go any newer an Ubuntu than I need.
[22:31] <CristianCT46> What version of X.org is installed by default on Hardy?
[22:31] <adac> thx ompaul
[22:31] <btice> The package manager doesn't have anything available any more. (Too old for support.)
[22:31] <azexian> need help with setting up a touch screen, anyone?
[22:31] <Colin1> kkathman Downloading the one you mentioned and installing now.
[22:31] <fahd-malik87> unop
[22:32] <Blaqlight> lol
[22:32] <kkathman> Colin1,  yeah you may need to install the dependencies, I did
[22:32] <ASULutzy> btice: I would consider upgrading, otherwise I'm sure you could compile the codecs from source or maybe find a .deb package with google
[22:32] <Colin1> kkathman NO clue what that means.  My experience with linux is 1 day. xD
[22:32] <unop> fahd-malik87, yes
[22:32] <nickrud> fahd-malik87, you would need to add those partitions to /etc/fstab. See link that follows
[22:32] <nickrud> !fstab | fahd-malik87
[22:32] <aHTu4aJlrap> please join in #Forbbiden
[22:32] <btice> ASULutzy - I had to use the Alternate installer for edgy. Do you know if there is one for 7.04?
[22:32] <aHTu4aJlrap> please join in #Forbbiden
[22:33] <aHTu4aJlrap> please join in #Forbbiden
[22:33] <fahd-malik87> thank you
[22:33] <kkathman> Colin1 when you install cairo-dock is may ask you to install some other library.
[22:33] <nickrud> fahd-malik87, when you choose a mount point, make it in /media , then they will be on the desktop
[22:33] <abe3k> joaopinto , 22% -.-
[22:33] <CristianCT46> What version of X.org is installed by default on Hardy?
[22:33] <afallenhope> Personal opinion here but  I was just trying to figure it out.. Virtualbox vs VMware to run Windows.... anyone?
[22:33] <SNESLink> does anyone think it would be a bad idea to install kde alongside gnome?
[22:34] <ASULutzy> btice: I'm sure there is an alternate installer for gutsy, there's one for Hardy
[22:34] <kkathman> SNESLink,  go ahead - you can toggle between them if you wish
[22:34] <unop> SNESLink, kde can exist quite happily beside gnome without any problems
[22:34] <Colin1> kkathman Worked fine.  Now how do I get the thing to start up without me telling it to.
[22:34] <ASULutzy> SNESLink: I've done it before, it works. Your menus can get a little messy, but other than that
[22:35] <yoyoned> SNESLink: you cant run them both at the same time, but many people have them both installed
[22:35] <Oddish> Ubuntu logs into my network on login.  Is there any way that I could make it log into the network at startup instead?
[22:35] <SNESLink> thanks for the input
[22:35] <magnetron> SNESLink: it's not a bad idea, they will exist alongside eachother. you can uninstall it later, but it'll be harder to uninstall all the apps it will install
[22:35] <kkathman> Colin1,  look under your Applications-System Tools
[22:35] <SNESLink> yeah, I know how to change sessions
[22:35] <kkathman> it should be there
[22:35] <btice> CristianCT46: X Protocol Version 11 Revision 0
[22:35] <murlidhar>  i have ubuntu 8.04 installed and i wanted it to dual boot it with ubuntu minimal install  .   But i am not able to install the minimal cd since it is giving me a message that it could not detect my network hardware .  i use davicom 9601 usb ethernet
[22:35] <afallenhope> does Kubuntu run KDE 4.0/
[22:35] <hyppias> is xubuntu hardy good now for eeepc ?
[22:35] <Colin1> kkathman Nifty.  Seems to run a tad bit slow to me though.
[22:36] <SNESLink> there's a special version of kubuntu that has kde 4 on i
[22:36] <SNESLink> it
[22:36] <kkathman> Colin1,  hmm,  its pretty performant on my system here
[22:36] <george___> can any1 help me with Xorg?
[22:36] <yoyoned> murlidhar: does the network work with the full install
[22:36] <Colin1> kkathman What are ya running off of?
[22:36] <abe3k> hyppias, did you try the advanced mode with beryl ?
[22:36] <abe3k> hyppias, its cool
[22:36] <murlidhar> yoyoned, yes without any configuration
[22:36] <odder> george___: don't ask to ask, just ask :)
[22:37] <george___> i ve asked 10000 times
[22:37] <george___> and ive not got a replt
[22:37] <george___>  I've installed fluxbuntu on an acer satellite pro A120 I input my uname and password the screen flashes and gets me back to the login window again. ive made sure that my login details are corrent, i manage to boot into root and try to startx but same thing there..
[22:37] <kkathman> colin1  Intel c2d at 3ghz with 2gb memory
[22:37] <hyppias> abe3k: no problems ? wifi , bluetooth ?
[22:37] <george___> here is my problem
[22:37] <yoyoned> murlidhar: and your using the 8.04 minimal install cd
[22:37] <Yowshi1> how do i get forcedeth working in hardy 64bit?
[22:37] <murlidhar> yoyoned, yes :(
[22:37] <abe3k> hyppias, wifi works well but I don't know an eeepc with bluetooth
[22:37] <george___> odder: can you help me ?
[22:38] <yoyoned> murlidhar: go ahead and install it and see if it's detected after reboot
[22:38] <odder> george___: well, that depends on your situation and my abilities, we'll see
[22:38] <murlidhar> yoyoned, i was wondering why it isn' working cuz the kernels are same
[22:38] <hyppias> abe3k: BT worked for me on Gutsy
[22:38] <Colin1> kkathman Don't think mine is as good.  Running off a athlonx2 4400 with 2 gigs of ram and geforce 8600 gt
[22:38] <Colin1> kkathman Think that could be the prob?
[22:38] <odder> george___: just ask here in the channel, maybe someone else will know the answer
[22:38] <murlidhar> yoyoned, tried several times
[22:38] <yoyoned> murlidhar: right, kernels are same
[22:38] <afallenhope> can you have XFCE running alongside gnome?
[22:38] <abe3k> hyppias, is this the eeepc 1000 ?
[22:38] <george___> odder: ive asked many times, not replied
[22:38] <ASULutzy> george___: Check the logs, you're having an x error
[22:39] <kkathman> Colin1,  nah your config should be more than enough I think
[22:39] <Colin1> kkathman Also, doesn't seem to slow down linux.  Its only the menu that seems a tad sluggish
[22:39] <ASULutzy> george___: What kind of graphics card do you have? and what driver are you using?
[22:39] <murlidhar> yoyoned, it's a us b ethernet card
[22:39] <george___> ASULutzy, i did check the Xorg.0.log
[22:39] <hyppias> abe3k: 701
[22:39] <c0mrade> hello
[22:39] <abe3k> hyppias, I managed to have beryl working with xandros under advanced mode
[22:39] <george___> ASULutzy, its an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M
[22:39] <hyppias> wat is beryl
[22:39] <abe3k> hyppias, how did you get BT in a 701 ? or do you mean a usb BT ?
[22:39] <Colin1> kkathman I also got a ton of compiz effects on
[22:39] <kkathman> Colin1  - did you download and install the version at the web site using dpkg?
[22:39] <ASULutzy> george___: What did the logs say? And are you using fglrx, radeon, or vesa driver?
[22:39] <hyppias> abe3k: i don't want xandros
[22:40] <adac> ompaul: now it works! what are the different hwmon temperature zones?
[22:40] <george___> ASULutzy, the only (EE) Ive found was  (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
[22:40] <hyppias> abe3k: yes an USB dongle, connecting to nokia
[22:40] <afallenhope> which is better for virtualizing Windows.... Virtualbox or VMWare?
[22:40] <Colin1> kkathman No.. I used the terminal and edited the sources file
[22:40] <abe3k> hyppias, aha I see
[22:40] <murlidhar> yoyoned, and all the kernels from 2.6.24 support davicom's usb ethernet
[22:40] <Gin> afallenhope, I would use virtualbox
[22:40] <afallenhope> ty ign
[22:40] <ompaul> adac, that you got to read up on - cos I have no idea
[22:40] <yoyoned> murlidhar: look in synaptic for any extra kernel-module packages you have installed
[22:40] <ASULutzy> george___: For now, go into the recovery console, then type gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver to "vesa"
[22:41] <kkathman> Colin1 ahhh - you are probably running a little older version
[22:41] <yoyoned> murlidhar: in the full install I mean
[22:41] <ASULutzy> george___: That will use the software driver, which will at least let you boot into Ubuntu, even though it will be without 3d
[22:41] <Colin1> kkathman I just changed the theme, and now it seems to run fast
[22:41] <kkathman> ahh very good
[22:41] <Colin1> kkathman Theme I was using before was clear
[22:41] <yoyoned> murlidhar: and try installing the same packages in the minimal install
[22:41] <edugonch> Hello, how can I do to stop vpnc rewrite my /etc/resolv.conf file?
[22:41] <edugonch> thanksç
[22:41] <murlidhar> yoyoned, how ?
[22:42] <abe3k> hyppias, did you get the internet going using your nokia with the eeepc ?
[22:42] <Rosen> Hey guys.. Can anyone tell me the name of the package for ufo:ai ? I can't seem to find it in synaptic
[22:42] <ASULutzy> george___: If there's no Driver option, you'll want to add it under the Section "InputDevice" You'll want to add a line that says Driver "vesa"
[22:42] <yoyoned> murlidhar: do you know how to use synaptic
[22:42] <murlidhar> yoyoned, yes
[22:42] <george___> ASULutzy, i get (gksu:4572) Gtk-Warning **: cannot open display
[22:43] <yoyoned> murlidhar:  search for modules and see what's installed
[22:43] <adac> ompaul: the command sensors shows more infos!
[22:43] <george___> ASULutzy, should i try gksu vi  instead?
[22:43] <yoyoned> murlidhar: something like linux-restricted-modules-common
[22:44] <odder> george___: did you try googling the Xorg.log line that says the EE? I've found couple of thread that mention this kind of error
[22:44] <ASULutzy> george___: Oh yea duh lol, sudo nano or sudo vi instead
[22:44] <ompaul> adac, well pictures are not as good as real time data - they are just summarys
[22:45] <b4l7424r> i plan to change my graphics card, should i uninstall the current driver before i install my new card?
[22:45] <adac> ompaul: I know...i just want to know what hwmon0 is
[22:45] <Colin1> kkathman OK, i guess I had that running like 5 times
[22:45] <Colin1> kkathman Not sure how THAT happened..
[22:45] <murlidhar> yoyoned, yes both common and generic modules are installed
[22:45] <george___> ASULutzy, under "Input Device" and Driver says kbd
[22:46] <afallenhope> seriously what's with all the dang kernel updates.
[22:46] <nickrud> b4l7424r, you can simply run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , that will reset X to use the best open source driver available for whatever card it finds. Then you can add the right proprietary driver later (if you want)
[22:46] <george___> ASULutzy, should I change it to RADEON or VESA and wq!?
[22:46] <murlidhar> yoyoned, so what's the solution?
[22:46] <ASULutzy> george___: Change it to vesa and then wq
[22:46] <yoyoned> murlidhar: note all the module packages installed in the full install, then see if they are installed in the minimal install.  The minimal install may have left out some of the module packages.
[22:47] <arakthor> in /etc/apt/sources.list the ubuntu CD source is commented out, but while trying to install java6, apt-get continues to ask for the server cd - anyone know how to solve that?
[22:47] <odder> george___: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/7607 -- try this.
[22:47] <ASULutzy> george___: This isn't a permanent solution of course, this is just so you'll at least be able to boot into Ubuntu graphically, and then I'd do research as to what the real problem is
[22:47] <nickrud> arakthor, try sudo apt-get update first
[22:47] <murlidhar> yoyoned, how do i check the modules from minimal?
[22:48] <yoyoned> murlidhar: since you can't get on the net, you'll have to download the using full version
[22:48] <ompaul> adac, check the url I sent ya it is not ubuntu centric but may help from my brief overview
[22:48] <yoyoned> murlidhar: are you comfortable using comand line
[22:48] <adac> ompaul: k, thx
[22:48] <klamech> real quicky: If i create a new user account using system > admin > users and groups, i shouldn't be able to access /home/newUser should i? (i.e., ~/ should be private)?
[22:48] <murlidhar> yoyoned, i am not b ut willing to get under the knife
[22:48] <xfls> i have a problem viewing web pages which contain flash baners/videos. the cpu usage is over 50% when viewing 2-3 pages(with flash stuff). and..that's not depending on the browser firefox3/opera 9.50/konqueror. I use kubuntu 8.04 and lates version of adobe flash plugin..can someone help me?
[22:48] <nickrud> klamech, no, the default is world read
[22:49] <klamech> oh, so they're not private?
[22:49] <murlidhar> yoyoned, i have a gprs connected sony ericsson phone. will that help?
[22:49] <yoyoned> murlidhar: is the partition that the minimal install is on showing up in nautalis
[22:49] <klamech> any probs with simply logging on as otherUser and changing permissions for 'other' to 'None'?
[22:50] <klamech> (permissions for /home/otherUser)
[22:50] <murlidhar> yoyoned, it shouil d let me c heck
[22:50] <nickrud> klamech, I have this nagging memory that something get's broken by that, but don't remember (or remember even if it was in ubuntu)
[22:51] <termitor> hello
[22:51] <klamech> nickrud: i tried chmod o -rwx, not sure if that's the same but that definately breaks stuff (stuff = everything)
[22:51] <murlidhar> yoyoned, it is showing as /media/disk
[22:51] <webcamwonder> !hello | termitor
[22:51] <termitor> where found package with mplayer + directXshow wrapper (compatible coreavc ) ? it gsoc projet
[22:53] <afallenhope> Apparently I can't run VirtualBox for my kernel
[22:53] <ASULutzy> afallenhope: Which kernel?
[22:53] <afallenhope> umm
[22:53] <ASULutzy> afallenhope: uname -r if you're unsure
[22:53] <george___> odder, I ve tried the thread you mentioned but hasnt helped..
[22:53] <afallenhope> ASULutzy,  2.6.24-19-generic
[22:53] <milaks> Hi  guys. My cd/dvd burner doesnt seem to work, so I cant burn kubuntu on some medium. Is it possible to install kubuntu with image only from hard disk (like I mount it with some prog like deamon tools and CD medium) and then use Wubi to install frmo Windows
[22:53] <george___> ASULutzy, im gonna try changin the driver to VESA now
[22:54] <M1DLG> hello peps, I need to make my serial port work on my dell latitude d610 in WINE?
[22:54] <webcamwonder> milaks, If yoyu want to use Wubi, you don't need to mount anything
[22:54] <ASULutzy> afallenhope: You can run virtualbox with that. It's the same as I have. sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic
[22:54] <webcamwonder> milaks, Wubi should do everything for you...
[22:54] <ASULutzy> george___: K, good luck
[22:54] <completeIdiot> can anyone tell me if its possible to create a command line usb installation of ubuntu simply from the console?
[22:54] <wittyphotons> hi there; i'm trying to slipstream a winxp install cd, and i was wondering if there was a ubuntu/linux program i could use for this; nlite (windows only) doesn't seem to want to run in wine
[22:55] <milaks> webcamwonder, so I can do it like that right? (mount it in windows and start wubi, without burning image to CD)
[22:55] <webcamwonder> milaks, You don't even need to mount
[22:55] <webcamwonder> milaks, Wubi does everyuthing for you. Just start it up, select all the config you wish to use and it will install
[22:55] <ASULutzy> wittyphotons: why do you need anything other than a text editor to make a slipstream Windows cd? I thought all you had to do was include the drivers you wanted and then edit a text file to point to them. (Sorry I'm not a real expert on doing a slipstream install cd)
[22:55] <george___> ASULutzy, how to edit the file in vi ? SHIFT+i ?
[22:56] <webcamwonder> milaks, It will not have the complete speed of ubuntu, but it will be pretty close
[22:56] <xenomorph99> Hi. Amarok under Gnome. It doesn't seem to autoupdate music collections. Should it ?
[22:56] <milaks> webcamwonder, well I'm downloading image (kubuntu-8.04.iso), so I need to mount it first (unpack) so I can use wubi?
[22:56] <ASULutzy> george___: just push s to insert
[22:56] <winter-m1te> how do i find out distribution version / name?
[22:56] <george___> k thnx
[22:56] <ASULutzy> george___: Or use nano, sometimes I feel that nano is more intuitive
[22:56] <webcamwonder> milaks, no need... just place it in the same folder as wubi, start wubi up and it should autodetect the iso, and do everything for you
[22:56] <arakthor> nickrud, using apt-get update/upgrade first did not help
[22:56] <winter-m1te> i am trying to install xmms but it depends on glib apt says which it wont install....
[22:56] <M1DLG> how do I make my serial port work on my dell latitude d610 in WINE?
[22:57] <joaopinto> winter-m1te, you would be better by using one of the several supported alternatives to xmms
[22:57] <milaks> webcamwonder,o, didnt know I can get wubi separately and use it like that... thanks a lot
[22:57] <winter-m1te> joaopinto: well i rather use shoucast with small program like xmms
[22:57] <wittyphotons> ASULutzy, i wasn't aware of this slipstreaming solution; thanks, i'll look into it
[22:57] <xenomorph99> Hi. Amarok under Gnome. It doesn't seem to autoupdate music collections. Should it ? Can it?
[22:58] <webcamwonder> milaks, no problem... just make sure to follow few guidelines for optimal speed.. try to defrag your hdd from windows as much as possible so that the Wubi filesystem can be as linear as possible
[22:58] <afallenhope> The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect..

[22:58] <akolaid> anyone have any ideas of flashing a bios of a dell notebook with an .exe file in ubuntu
[22:58] <Watchbot07> hi all, i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and it does not recognize my audio device. A 7.1 installation worked just fine.
[22:58] <afallenhope> sorry aboutt hat
[22:58] <ASULutzy> afallenhope: Did you read what it said? Cause it tells you exactly what you have to do. Add your user to the group called vboxusers, then logout and back in.
[22:58] <WalloO> akolaid: not possible.
[22:59] <Watchbot07> can any body help?
[22:59] <DoubleD> unavailable: are you still here ?
[22:59] <xenomorph99> Hi. Amarok under Gnome. It doesn't seem to autoupdate music collections. Should it ?
[22:59] <WalloO> akolaid: wione is not low level enough to allow bios access from an exe file
[22:59] <akolaid> i read it was possible making a dos bootable floppy, but i couldn't fit the exe on it
[23:00] <WalloO> akolaid: it probably means it has to be run from windows.
[23:00] <aro> A lot of updates today?
[23:00] <HaCKeT|FiZZ> hey guys, I am looking for some recommendation on a 64bit laptop to run Ubuntu on...  anybody running ubuntu on a 64bit laptop at al?
[23:00] <akolaid> hmm.. so probably the only way it to make a widows partition?
[23:00] <Guest61992> witam, jest tu ktos polskojezyczny?
[23:00] <completeIdiot> akolaid: have you trues crating a bottcd, like using a PE?
[23:00] <xenomorph99> Hi. Amarok under Gnome. It doesn't seem to autoupdate music collections. Should it ? If I want it to add music, I have to do a rescan. Is this avoidable?
[23:01] <qwsad10> Guest61992: ubuntu-pl
[23:01] <akolaid> haven't tried a bootable cd yet, not sure quite what to do
[23:02] <Watchbot07> hi all, i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and it does not recognize my audio device. A 7.1 installation worked just fine. can anybody help?
[23:02] <WalloO> akolaid: but does your exe run in dos? Probably not. just edit in just cat yourexe | grep dos
[23:02] <Beats> I installed kde through sudo apt-get install kde. It installed fine but now i want to uninstall it. i used sudo apt-get remove kde. And everything is still here.
[23:02] <Beats> HOw can i completely unistall kde
[23:02] <afallenhope> BRB
[23:02] <WalloO> akolaid: if you see "this program can't be run in dos mode" there is no need to try.
[23:02] <M1DLG> how do I make my serial port work in WINE?
[23:02] <ASULutzy> Beats: If you're sure that's what you want to do. I think you can do sudo apt-get remove kde4base
[23:02] <ASULutzy> Beats: er, kdebase
[23:03] <akolaid> k, i'll try it
[23:03] <ASULutzy> Beats: Depends on what version of KDE you have :P
[23:03] <Beats> K
[23:03] <Beats> Ill try thank you
[23:03] <webcamwonder> Throw in a --purge to remove all the settings
[23:03] <webcamwonder> as well
[23:03] <Guest61992> qwsad10: tzn?
[23:03] <milaks> Can I use Wubi installer with one existing (k)ubuntu install image on hard drive, to install (k)ubuntu on my former (ext3) Linux partitions?
[23:03] <ras__> r
[23:03] <DoubleD> how can i see my kernel version ?
[23:03] <milaks> partitions exist
[23:03] <Starnestommy> DoubleD: uname -r
[23:04] <WalloO> !overclock
[23:04] <webcamwonder> milaks So you are asking to install multiple versions from Wubi?
[23:04] <winter-m1te> joaopinto: like?
[23:04] <qwsad10> Guest61992: what means tzn?
[23:04] <Beats> ASULutzy: Is say its not installed
[23:04] <milaks> webcamwonder, no, let me explain please
[23:04] <DoubleD> Starnestommy: thanks
[23:05] <ASULutzy> Beats: Are you using KDE4 or KDE3.5
[23:05] <ASULutzy> Beats: And how did you install KDE in the first place?
[23:05] <joaopinto> winter-m1te, audacious ?
[23:05] <rojer> q
[23:05] <milaks> webcamwonder,I had 7.04 Ubuntu already on this hdd with windows on separate partitions of course. After attempt to update ubuntu to newest version it doesnt work anymore... and I want to try clean install, but my cd/dvd burner doesnt work so i cant burn downloaded image to some CD and then install it from it
[23:05] <ASULutzy> !pm | Beats
[23:06] <ASULutzy> Beats: So you just typed sudo apt-get install kde? Then maybe sudo apt-get remove kde :P
[23:06] <milaks> webcamwonder, what I need is a way to install (k)ubuntu back to my linux partitions (I cant delete some of them like /home) from within window, without burning  image iso to a CD
[23:06] <george___> ASULutzy, that didnt help
[23:06] <ASULutzy> george___: You weren't able to load x with even the vesa driver?
[23:06] <M1DLG> how do I make my serial port work in WINE?
[23:06] <Beats> Oops i did this "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"
[23:06] <webcamwonder> milaks, Oh... that should not work... What wubi does is it actually creates a file container inside your windows drive and boots an ubuntu image off that file container... It doesn't deal with partitioning your HDD
[23:06] <george___> no it took me straight to the promopt
[23:06] <george___> no it took me straight to the prompt
[23:06] <ASULutzy> Beats: Can you do sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop ?
[23:06] <george___> i did startx but nothing
[23:07] <aurri> holaaaa
[23:07] <Beats> still says its not installed
[23:07] <aurri> necesito auda con una camara web
[23:07] <webcamwonder> Beats: If it is not installed, what "settings" are you referring to?
[23:07] <milaks> webcamwonder,uh... is there some way to install (k)ubunut like I need to?
[23:07] <Beats> But in the "Others section" theres a bunxch of stuff from KDE
[23:07] <milaks> webcamwonder,(from windows)
[23:07] <Xeon06> Hey all. Does anybody know how I could make it so that when I scroll my mouse wheel to the left or the right, instead of the default function it simulates a middle mouse button click?
[23:07] <akolaid> WalloO: yah my .exe runs in dos, but i'm not sure if i can use that to install it without making a windows partition
[23:08] <webcamwonder> milaks, As far as I know, there is no way of getting a full partitioned Ubuntu copy running without CD/DVD drive... There are some infamous "hacks", but I am not well aware of them
[23:08] <ASULutzy> If you did sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop, then you should be able to do sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop? I don't know if that doesn't work, try #kubuntu
[23:09] <milaks> webcamwonder, ok, thanks
[23:09] <milaks> thanks
[23:09] <webcamwonder> Beats: Please tell us what "settings" are left behind by Kubuntu?
[23:09] <WalloO> akolaid: ok, if it run on dos, then, maybe you can try to boot freedos or something like that from a usb drive
[23:09] <Reaper> Does " Audacious " support try Icon configuration?
[23:09] <creeva> does anyone know of a way of searching in through e-mail in evolution where you can search by attachment name?
[23:09] <ASULutzy> Beats: If it's a settings thing, then you could use purge instead of remove. Remove just removes the stuff, purge removes the stuff + the configs
[23:09] <joaopinto> Reaper, nothing like installing it and trying ;)
[23:10] <Reaper> joaopinto, actually I did ;) but when I hit close, it closes :P
[23:10] <Beats> webcamwonder: KDE preformance, KATE KDE WALLET LAUNCH FEEDBACK, MEMORY, ETC.
[23:10] <Reaper> I'd like to have it like the pidgin application or so..
[23:10] <akolaid> WalloO: yah, i tried freedos on a floppy, but the exe was too big, i'm not sure how to make a usb drive bootable in ubuntu, i only switched a few weeks back
[23:10] <webcamwonder> Beats: Those are KDE applications which you might be seeing under your GNOME menu aren't they?
[23:11] <Beats> Yea
[23:11] <c0mrade> hiya how do I allow certain user groups to restart services such as httpd and named ?
[23:11] <Xeon06>  Hey all. Does anybody know how I could make it so that when I scroll my mouse wheel to the left or the right, instead of the default function it simulates a middle mouse button click?
[23:11] <webcamwonder> hmm
[23:11] <webcamwonder> try this Beats: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[23:11] <WalloO> akolaid: I don't know too. I'm sorry, but I can't help you more here.
[23:12] <mark__> Anyone here Asiyu?
[23:12] <rojer> hi everyone. i'm trying to install ubuntu on the eeepc 900, and to my embarrassment can't even get the installer to boot from flash. i think i've done everythin right (fdisk'ed the stick, created fat16 partition, marked it active, zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdf1, install-mbr /dev/sdf)... and all i get when i try to boot is 'MBR\nBoot error'. what did i miss?
[23:12] <webcamwonder> Beats
[23:12] <mark__> Beats what?
[23:12] <webcamwonder> Beats, make sure to only run the remove commands, not install commands!
[23:12] <mark__> Oh
[23:12] <mark__> Sorry
[23:13] <webcamwonder> And throw in a --purge after that
[23:13] <bran> anybody know if hellgate london works with wine?
[23:13] <Beats> Ok
[23:13] <ASULutzy> webcamwonder, Beats: sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop should work, otherwise you can follow that big long paste at the bottom, except you'll want to remove the && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop part unless that's what you actually want
[23:13] <joaopinto> !wine | bran
[23:14] <zcat[1]> How do I join a windows domain from ubuntu? There's a shared printer I want to access and it seems I can't get to it unless I log into the domain?
[23:14] <webcamwonder> ASULuztzy He has left over KDE applications, and yes I just instructed him to remove the xubuntu-desktop part
[23:14] <Beats> webcamwonder: Thankyou i got the right command at physccats.com
[23:15] <webcamwonder> Beats: did you remove the install xubuntu-desktop at the end?
[23:15] <xenomorph99> after the update today, I'm getting this when I try to mount a volume I have in fstab: "Unpriv. user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount volume as root or rebuild NTFS-3G with ........." Is this a known problem?
[23:15] <Beats> webcamwonder: actualy i had xbuntu-desktop installed and i want that gone as well
[23:15] <Reaper> Anyone uses " Audacious " player? I tagged an option that won't show me the player. lol
[23:16] <Reaper> How can I restore it?
[23:16] <zcat[1]> !info likewise-open
[23:16] <zcat[1]> hehe, found it :)
[23:16] <xenomorph99> After the update today, I'm getting this when I try to mount a volume I have in fstab: "Unpriv. user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount volume as root or rebuild NTFS-3G with ........." Is this a known problem?
[23:16] <webcamwonder> Beats: So you want XFCE gone as well?
[23:16] <Beats> webcamwonde: i noticed after installing kde my computer started to lagg but i still had 20gb of hard drive left could kde have sucked my ram?
[23:16] <mark__> I've lost a pound sign
[23:16] <Beats> webcamwonder: yes
[23:17] <webcamwonder> Beats: Mostly no... GNOME, KDE and XFCE are quite compatible
[23:17] <Reaper> How can I install tar.bz2 ?
[23:17] <Beats> webcamwonder: Im playing games through WINE and all of a sudden there lagging. And i have a pretty good video card + never had this problem b4
[23:17] <ASULutzy> webcamwonder: The command at the bottom on the page you linked to not only removes kubuntu-desktop, but it also installs xubuntu-desktop, which isn't necessarily what he wanted, that's all
[23:18] <webcamwonder> ASULutzy sudo aptitude remove --purge xubuntu-desktop (sounds right? just want to make sure!)
[23:18] <ASULutzy> webcamwonder: but I'm a little late in the conversation now, trying to work and watch IRC simultaneously :)
[23:18] <Beats> Is firefox 3 on the ubuntu respos yet?
[23:18] <dystopianray> Beats: yes
[23:18] <ASULutzy> webcamwonder: Yea, if you want to completely remove xubuntu now you could do that I believe. Generally removing is ok, the config files don't take up all that much space, but if necessary can purge
[23:18] <Reaper> How to install files that are .tar.bz2 please?
[23:19] <webcamwonder> He had xfce already installed
[23:19] <webcamwonder> Now he is askin to remove it
[23:19] <Beats> dystopianray: is it in updates or do i hav to do it manualy
[23:19] <george___> ASULutzy, do you what else I can do ?
[23:19] <dystopianray> Beats: it's been in hardy-updates since firefox 3.0 was released
[23:20] <ASULutzy> george___: Post on the forums and use google :P
[23:20] <Beats> dystopianray: Not beta
[23:20] <webcamwonder> Beats: sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop
[23:20] <ASULutzy> george___: You have the error (The EE line in the log) google that and hope to find it
[23:20] <dystopianray> Beats: the final 3.0 release
[23:20] <qwsad10> Reaper: is it software or data files
[23:20] <Reaper> Driver.
[23:20] <adam> join #ubuntu-pl
[23:20] <Reaper> My sound driver.
[23:21] <dystopianray> Reaper: what sound card do you have?
[23:21] <qwsad10> Reaper: first check if the software isnt already in ubuntu repository
[23:21] <Reaper> It is detected, but it's a built in speaker, and the speaker sucks, I must install the driver to disable it.
[23:21] <webcamwonder> Beats: sudo aptitude remove --purge xubuntu-desktop
[23:21] <Beats> webcamwonder: Thank you
[23:21] <Markov> DaneelBot tell Mars
[23:21] <webcamwonder> Beats: no problem, glad to help, just make sure to throw the --purge to remove all config files as well

[23:23] <dystopianray> Reaper: where did you get this driver from? what driver is it?
[23:23] <DoubleD> Hi i have been trying to make my integrated (wired) network work under ubuntu 8.04. It has worked fine before under 7.10. I have already tried unplugging the network card etc. like it was told on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=538448 I have also tried the WakeOnLan via windows, this did not help me either. Can someone please help me?
[23:24] <dystopianray> Reaper: a tar.bz2 file is an archive format, like a zip file
[23:24] <DoubleD> *network card
[23:24] <Reaper> I searched for the name of the driver, that is compatible with linux.
[23:24] <Reaper> Alright, I am facing problems with such..
[23:24] <qwsad10> snap|l3thal: wget and patch are different apps. which one you need?
[23:24] <Reaper> Till now ( 5 days on working on ubuntu ) , yet I don't know how to install any program I download.
[23:24] <snap|l3thal> patch
[23:24] <dystopianray> Reaper: what is the name of the file?
[23:24] <Colin__> I have three ethernet connections, 1 is for the LAN, the other two are for separate dsl lines... Everything was working fine with 1 internet connection, but I just plugged in the second and it isn't getting an IP address
[23:24] <snap|l3thal> qwsad10, patch. says to apt-get it but i dont have the install disk
[23:25] <Reaper> Linux_ADI_audio.zip ( I extracted it ) - now I have three files of tar.bz2
[23:25] <dystopianray> Reaper: and what are the names of those files?
[23:25] <qwsad10> snap|l3thal: you can change repor source in system administration
[23:26] <Reaper> alsa-driver-1.0.9b.tar.bz2
[23:26] <Reaper> alsa-lib-1.0.9.tar.bz2
[23:26] <kelvie_> I just added a few partitions on another hard drive via a VM, how do I refresh the device list?
[23:26] <kelvie_> they aren't showing up in /dev

[23:26] <Reaper> Those 3
[23:26] <snap|l3thal> Reaper, had you added your users to audio group?
[23:26] <dystopianray> Reaper: ubuntu 8.04 has alsa 1.0.16, they are just older versions of the same driver
