[08:08] <sn0> if you forget what you changed Aminux , then just copy the backed up xorg.conf over the "faulty" one then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and it will start up in gui mode again
[08:09] <niekie> n-iCe: try installing it with sudo apt-get install tcl8.4
[08:09] <nickrud> n-iCe: sudo aptitude install tcl8.4-dev
[08:09] <Aminux> sn0: thats the problem i forgot to backup..
[08:09] <niekie> n-iCe: and let me know if that gives you any problems :')
[08:09] <bittin> Hi
[08:09] <bittin> Somone skilled in Burners?
[08:09] <ashu18> i have a problem...does kopete run in ubuntu (not kubuntu)?
[08:09] <sn0> Aminux then you can run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at the terminal and choose sane options for your system, and it should at least get you into the gui
[08:09] <nickrud> ashu18: should
[08:09] <n-iCe> niekie it asked for the cd, i pressed intro and is downoading
[08:10] <bittin> Somone skilled in Burners?
[08:10] <KurtKraut> ashu18: yes, consuming more RAM and disk space but yes.
[08:10] <sn0> then you can re-install the drivers from system > admin > restricted drivers manager and restart X finally once more
[08:10] <Gnea> bruenig: it's a bit more than that. i've been running debian and other distros for over a decade, ubuntu also bridges a lot of gaps in making things "just work".  that's what helps make the support in this channel rock so much.
[08:10] <bittin> That can look whats wrong on mine?
[08:10] <tifa> ashu18: Yes it does
[08:10] <danmurf> so, would the firewall block WPA wireless and not WEP wireless?
[08:10] <Aminux> sn0: what then?
[08:10] <n-iCe> Now niekie ?
[08:10] <dug_> aa^way: and if you haven't already, check system->administration->network and see if your wired connection is listed and checked
[08:10] <niekie> n-iCe: now try installing again?
[08:10] <Gnea> bruenig: i can run hal in debian and still not get the functionality out of it that ubuntu provides. clean and simple, and this conversation is now over.
[08:10] <sn0> Aminux which graphics card do you have, ati what ?
[08:10] <Aminux> sn0: i have to install the ati drivers again aftewards?
[08:10] <n-iCe> ok
[08:10] <Aminux> sn0: 9600
[08:11] <sn0> Aminux and were you using the fglrx drivers, or the ati drivers that came with ubuntu
[08:11] <aa^way> dug_ alright i will do it, thanks all, im gonna switch modems and try to get it working
[08:11] <Aminux> sn0: the fglrx drivers
[08:11] <Dr_willis> Just running the 'restricted manager' tool - has worked for me in the past with my ati9600 card, and the normal repo fglrx drivers. :)  Ubuntu made it nice and simple
[08:11] <KakaRoT-|> danmurf: uh?
[08:11] <mmpf> is it possible to burn dvds from the ubuntu live cd
[08:11] <sn0> Aminux then you can change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use 'fglrx' in the device driver section, or i believe there is an atitool command for doing just that
[08:11] <Aminux> sn0: i can show you my xorg.conf,if its of any use
[08:11] <nickrud> too simple, it takes all the stress out :)
[08:12] <tifa> Hello. I was wondering how does one change the name of the computer after installation?
[08:12] <danmurf> someone said WPA wireless might not be working because I may have a firewall enabled, but it worked fine with WEP when I tested it
[08:12] <ashu18> does kopete has voice chat feature?
[08:12] <danmurf> (I;m having trouble getting WPA to work)
[08:12] <Dr_willis> mmpf,  not unless you got 2 optical drivers. I think.
[08:12] <sn0> sure Aminux , and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be useful too, pastebin please
[08:12] <nickrud> !hostname | tifa
[08:12] <ubotu> tifa: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab
[08:12] <dug_> ashu18: yes
[08:12] <Martin_-_> Anyone know in what directory cedega install the games? I cant find it
[08:12] <Aminux> !pastebin
[08:12] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:12] <Esteth> How would i go about changing all my sound to mono? I don't have enough cable to connect my two speakers around my monitor, and it's more power. If i plug only one in, i only get the "right" channel.
[08:12] <ashu18> dug_ : for all protocols?
[08:13] <Dr_willis> Martin_-_,  like .wine, or .cedega somewhere
[08:13] <ashu18> dug_: like yahoo, gmail etc.?
[08:13] <dug_> ashu18: not sure, at least yahoo.  there is also amsn in case kopete doesn't support it
[08:13] <KakaRoT-|> danmurf: are you sure that's the firewall who blocks your wireless connection?
[08:13] <KakaRoT-|> it sounds crazy
[08:13] <ashu18> dug_: thnks for the info...
[08:13] <eduardo_> j #ubuntu-br
[08:14] <danmurf> no, the firewall on my router works fine
[08:14] <dug_> danmurf: KakaRoT-|: no, we've determined a firewall is not an issue with danmurf.  that was just something that happened to me
[08:14] <ashu18> dug_: pidgin is nice but without voice chat...
[08:14] <eduardo_> ;j #ubuntu-br
[08:14] <danmurf> someone was saying ubuntu has a firewall which might be causing the ache
[08:14] <eduardo_> shit
[08:14] <Martin_-_> Dr_Willis cd .cedega ( what is the command ) so i can se whats in that directory trough the terminal?
[08:14] <dug_> ashu18: there was supposed to be a video plugin for gaim/pidgin called gaim-vv, but i don't know what happened with it
[08:14] <velko> eduardo_, /join #ubuntu-br
[08:14] <Rubin> Martin_-_, ls?
[08:14] <danmurf> my problem is that wireless isn't working under WPA, but is under open/wep settings
[08:14] <KakaRoT-|> a firewall can't do that
[08:15] <nickrud> Martin_-_: for a quick tutorial on using the command line, go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[08:15] <Aminux> sn0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36917/
[08:15] <dug_> danmurf: KakaRoT-|: no, we've determined a firewall is not an issue with danmurf.  that was just something that happened to me
[08:15] <KakaRoT-|> if it works fine
[08:15] <Dr_willis> martin_,  it may be worth your time to learn some bash basics.. 'ls -al' shows all 'hidden' type files. (with a . at the start of the name) cd .Dirctoryname to cd to them, ls to see the contents.. or tell yoyur file manager to show 'hidden' files.
[08:15] <underwatercow> This .avi I'm trying to play has no sound... how do I find out what codec I'm missing?
[08:15] <Dr_willis> martin_,  if this is over your head. its worth spending an hr reading a bash starter guide or 4
[08:15] <sn0> Aminux ok so your xorg.conf has got messed up a bit, i would sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and go through the options and it will write a new config file

[08:16] <dug_> underwatercow: i don't know how to find the codec, but i know vlc player has its own software to handle most codecs itself, you might try playing the avi in it

[08:17] <gordonjcp> danmurf: yes
[08:17] <sn0> Aminux from that it looks like your Identifier is wrong in the Device section.
[08:17] <gordonjcp> danmurf: you're using WPA
[08:17] <underdog5004> Paddy_EIRE, you need to direct that to underwatercow , not me.

[08:18] <danmurf> no, I used the program which rips the firmware

[08:18] <gordonjcp> Makt: pretty much

[08:18] <sn0> hey Makt
[08:18] <Aminux> sn0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36920/
[08:18] <Makt> so any ubuntu program will work with it?
[08:18] <talonzz> brb
[08:18] <nickrud> yes
[08:19] <gordonjcp> LinuxHelp: stty
[08:19] <Makt> great
[08:19] <Rubin> makt: all the *ubuntu's are the same thing with different packages selected by default.
[08:19] <eduardo_> automatix website is off. there is any other website where I can download automatix2 for feisty 32 bits?
[08:19] <gordonjcp> LinuxHelp: that's like the second hit on Goooooooogle incidentally
[08:19] <Aminux> sn0: so,what can i do now?
[08:19] <Makt> ok thanks
[08:19] <Rubin> eduardo_, do not use automatix, its really dangerously poorly written
[08:19] <nickrud> oh, heaven, maybe it's really gone ;)
[08:19] <Aminux> sn0: im running from live cd
 yeah I know :)
[08:19] <eduardo_> Rubin, Dell uses it
[08:19] <Rubin> regardless
[08:19] <Flannel> eduardo_: That doesn't make it safe
[08:19] <Paddy_EIRE> eduardo_, there is really no benefit with automatix anyway
[08:19] <Rubin> you can do everything it does yoruself
[08:20] <nickrud> Dell uses windows, even
[08:20] <Makt> also has anyone tried running adobe flash, photoshop or premiere  in *ubuntu?
[08:20] <hyperbola__> hello
[08:20] <IndyLucian> nickrud, nice example :D
[08:20] <Aminux> sn0: if only find someone that uses fglrx ati drivers too
[08:20] <Flannel> eduardo_: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html Has a rather well done rundown of whats dangerous about it
[08:20] <eduardo_> I can't get glx working with my gforce fx6600
[08:20] <Achillesforce> hey, I put Ubuntu on a CD. I put teh disc in the DVD-Drive and when i got to the main thing (From the disc) I clicked "Install". It sayed it installed and everything ran smooth. When it was done, it told me to take out disk and reboot my PC. When i turned it on, it asked me to inser "Boot-Disk". Any help? or maybe I did something wrong? Maybe i got to dosomething before installing?
[08:20] <Rubin> Makt, i looked into photoshop, and no recent version will run under wine.
[08:20] <danmurf> dug_: I'm using the fwcutter program
[08:20] <sn0> Aminux boot up ubuntu as normal, ignore the X error and when it has finished, press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to the terminal login, then at the login run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and go through the options. Alternatively you can just edit the file, as above replace Identifier  "ATI Technologies, Inc. ATI Default Card" to Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] ". either method should let you restart X with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:20] <sn0> so try that and get back to us :)
[08:20] <eduardo_> Flannel,  ok I will read that
[08:20] <IndyLucian> what is automatix anyways? i've never had the balls to install it with all the issues i've read in here
[08:21] <nickrud> Makt: flash works fine, the others are not linux programs but can be run in virtualbox
[08:21] <Paddy_EIRE> eduardo_, what have you been trying to get your graphics driver working so far
[08:21] <Aminux> cant i borrow someones xorg.conf and replace mine?
[08:21] <sn0> brb food
[08:21] <Makt> hm
[08:21] <Rubin> Achillesforce, sounds like a problem with the boot loader (grub) is the disk weird in any way?
[08:21] <Paddy_EIRE> Aminux, hardly a good idea
[08:21] <velko> Achillesforce, tell your bios to try to boot from your hard disk first. maybe it tries to boot from the crdrom only
[08:21] <Aminux> sn0: it would be easier yes?
[08:21] <Achillesforce> The disk weird in any way?
[08:21] <Achillesforce> What do you mean?
[08:21] <Achillesforce> When i laod
[08:21] <nickrud> Aminux: you can rebuild a regular one with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[08:21] <Achillesforce> should I click
[08:22] <Achillesforce> "Check for problems"

[08:22] <eduardo_> I try that: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_nVidia_drivers_in_7.04
[08:22] <KurtKraut> snooo: try using dnsmasq for that
[08:22] <Paddy_EIRE> err eduardo_ Im hardly goin to read the entire site... what have you tried specifically
[08:22] <Rubin> Achillesforce, make sure the bios is booting off the hard disk as velko  said.
[08:23] <Achillesforce> Hard disk?
[08:23] <Achillesforce> one sec
[08:23] <Rubin> snooo, there are probably dhcpd howto's on google somewhere, i'm sure.

[08:23] <dug_> danmurf: if you can't get any help or get it working, i'd recommend trying ndiswrapper (it wraps the windows driver for your card).  Here are the instructions I used for a broadcom 4318: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092&highlight=dell+1501

[08:24] <snooo> Rubin: cheers
[08:25] <dug_> danmurf: broadcom 4306 uses the same .inf file (bcmwl5.inf), so probably you don't have to do anything different from the instructions at all

[08:32] <Mathias|> hum...nickrud that don't work
[08:33] <underwatercow> astro76, have them already
[08:33] <KurtKraut> Grungebunny: if nobody replies you here, try posting your question in ubuntuforums.org
[08:33] <AndrewB> neumind: yes?
[08:33] <fatcatmatt> Grungebunny: have you tried System > Prefs > Fonts?
[08:33] <nickrud> Mathias|: then use Rubin 's:  sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq stun
[08:33] <figmentj13> how do i compile tar.gz files
[08:33] <Mathias|> same result :/
[08:33] <underwatercow> ConstyXIV, I'm installing ubuntu-restricted-extras now... I'll let you know
[08:33] <dug_> figmentj13: you mean de-compress tar.gz files?  run: tar xzvf somefile.tar.gz
[08:33] <nickrud> Mathias|: odd ; coul you put the entire error on a pastebin?
[08:34] <Xenguy> figmentj13: you don't want to, and if you do, try 'checkinstall' if possible
[08:34] <Grungebunny> fatcatmatt yeah that only changes the fonts of windows.. not panels
[08:34] <aa^way> drug_ you around here? i didnt manage to do it, i ping my router ip and it says unreachable network
[08:34] <figmentj13> no how do i complie the code
[08:34] <Mathias|> Ah!
[08:34] <elzbal> underwatercow: Just as an FYI, one of the Ubuntu developers reviewed Automatix, and he put a few thoughts about it here: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html
[08:34] <jontec> is it okay to user this:  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) for a server version? It won't break anything, will it?

[08:34] <Mathias|> wrong position witch "stun"
[08:34] <Mathias|> :)
[08:34] <underwatercow> elzbal: thanks... I wasn't a big fan of automatix in general, but it was nice for installing codecs
[08:35] <KurtKraut> jontec: you should use linux-image-server instead.
[08:35] <nickrud> Mathias|: ah, good troubleshooting
[08:35] <Mathias|> this here works to remove dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq stun
[08:35] <Tominator> Hi!
[08:35] <jontec> KurtKraut: huh? with the uname -r bit?

[08:35] <Rubin> Mathias|, there may be bits of it still around.. messing up your system (only visually, not functionally) but at least you can use apt now

[08:36] <KurtKraut> jontec: if you want a kernel that suits for a server, you have to install the linux-image-server package.
[08:36] <Mathias|> ;)
[08:36] <Tominator> Fehler means Error
[08:36] <Mathias|> i think i have to get the stun elsewhere ...
[08:36] <astro76> zerokill88, here's instructions on how to make it work: http://markjstevens.net/?p=13
[08:36] <underwatercow> It's working now, thanks all

[08:43] <jontec> Rubin: alright, so I'll ask.... to compile packages should I simply use linux-headers-$(uname -r) for the headers... is this by itself okay for servers
[08:43] <trix> the problem is that the window focus doesn't necessarily go where the mouse does.  sometimes I can't click on something.
[08:43] <neumind> so why?
[08:43] <neumind> so why?
[08:43] <Flannel> trix: You can change that if you'd like
[08:43] <jontec> Rubin: or will it cause apt-get to think that I want a desktop version/install
[08:44] <Rubin> jontec, i think you are a bit confused .. what exactly are you trying to do?
[08:44] <trix> whenver I boot into gdm, the menu that you would get if you right-click on the desktop always comes up.... but never after that. ..  I can't right-click to get that menu!

[08:45] <jontec> Rubin: compile packages... I am... I only want the headers to compile some packages (not .deb based). This is my first time doing this on the server and I want to know if linux-headers-$(uname -r) is okay for getting the ones for a server. I don't want to break any packages because of bad headers/apt thinking it's now a desktop.
[08:45] <Aminux> sn0: now how do i configure xorg.conf to make full use of fglrx drivers
[08:45] <bkhype> how do you reset a ubuntu load while running it

[08:52] <Rubin> trix, synaptics is for touch pads i think isn't it?
[08:52] <KurtKraut> dimas_: you would probably need to remove flash and the plugin packages of totem or mplayer. And revoke any access of other users of installing packages.
[08:52] <d4rkmonkey> giany911 it shouldn't.
[08:52] <Tuxis2> looking by build egs :-D
[08:52] <giany911> thx
[08:52] <ar1> dooglus: didn't quite get the registration thingy...
[08:52] <trix> yes it is.  that's what I have.
[08:52] <nickrud> giany911: no, you can select either gnome or xfce from the sessions options on the login screen
[08:53] <Rubin> trix, a laptop?

[08:53] <talcite> is anyone else having trouble with the launchpad site?

[08:53] <Rubin> trix, try googling 'linux <yourlaptopmodel> touchpad'
[08:53] <giany911> .... i guess im going to wait until my next clean install to go with xubuntu .. like gutsy ..
[08:53] <trix> it seems that the buttons work, and the cursor moves where I expect it to...
[08:53] <epiclulz> when is 7.10 coming out?
[08:53] <trix> it's the window focus that's crazy
[08:53] <Rubin> what doesn't work?
[08:53] <Rubin> hmm
[08:53] <Nutubuntu> giany911, installing the *ubuntu-desktop installs all of the software associated with that flavor. you might want to look at psychocats.net for alternatives; I think they call them "pure" gnome, "pure" kde etc.
[08:53] <gh0sty2k> how do you mount a drive through ssh?
[08:53] <d4rkmonkey> epiclulz october, 18th or something like that.
[08:53] <flamesrock> is there any way to recover deleted files from reiserfs?
[08:54] <d4rkmonkey> gh0sty2k ssh to the machine, use the command mount?
[08:54] <oYo> automatix2 links opens?
[08:54] <trix> it won't let me click even though it knows how to listen to the mouse
[08:54] <nickrud> giany911: I've got fluxbox, xubuntu, waimea, and a bunch of others on my session options , no issues
[08:54] <trix> but what is it
[08:54] <KurtKraut> gh0sty2k: in gnome, in the LOCAL menu, use the 'Connect to server...' option
[08:54] <benanz1> is there a difference between "gksu" and "gksudo" when using it to launch an admin app from a script?
[08:54] <Rubin> trix, how do you say the buttons work, if it wont let you click?
[08:54] <trix> sometimes I can click, sometimes not.
[08:54] <nickrud> benanz1: no, gksu uses the sudo backend also
[08:54] <trix> like I'll have two windows open, firefox and a terminal
[08:54] <dimas_> KurtKraut flash player work good cause i can see the other people cameras the thing is my video that i can not establish display

[08:55] <Roly[] > they all seem to be if you have a linux running computer already
[08:55] <benanz1> nickrud: so they're effectively interchangeable?
[08:55] <oYo> balgari ima li
[08:55] <Nutubuntu> nickrud, I'm beginning to get curious about other distros or flavors myself ... how do you keep them from overwriting bits and pieces of each other? (or is that automagically handled somehow?)
[08:55] <Rubin> Nutubuntu, you put them each on their own partitions
[08:55] <r00723r0> hi
[08:55] <gh0sty2k> Im using mount /dev/hda2
[08:55] <dimas_> KurtKraut my mplayer works ok too
[08:55] <gh0sty2k> is that correct?
[08:55] <nickrud> benanz1: you can control the gksu backend with gksu-properties
[08:55] <trix> if I do ctrl-alt-f1 and back to ctrl-alt-f7 sometimes it changes the focus where I need it to
[08:55] <r00723r0> i'm trying to install the non free flash plugin
[08:56] <r00723r0> it's not working
[08:56] <r00723r0> telling me i need some viewer
[08:56] <trix> I can alt-tab to focus on the correct window sometimes and then I can use the mouse again
[08:56] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, put sudo in front
[08:56] <gh0sty2k> k
[08:56] <nickrud> Nutubuntu: not distros, different desktops/window managers ; and that's the whole point of apt/dpkg , they track files and prevent conflicts
[08:56] <gh0sty2k> mount: can't find /dev/hda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[08:56] <Rubin> trix, thats bizar. maybe a stuck button or maybe your alt key is stuck?
[08:56] <gh0sty2k> Rubin: mount: can't find /dev/hda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[08:56] <dimas_> KurtKraut do i have to install codecs for flash player?
[08:57] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, you did sudo mount /dev/hda2 /somewhere?
[08:57] <KurtKraut> dimas_: what you want to do, exactly ?
[08:57] <Nutubuntu> nickrud, thx ... Rubin, I was a bit puzzled by what you wrote; how would you manage the multiple partitions (naming conventions etc.)
[08:57] <trix> but it's the window that acts weird, not the mouse
[08:57] <Nutubuntu> nickrud, any helpful pages you've found for the other window mgrs you have liked?
[08:57] <gh0sty2k> Rubin no just sudo mount /dev/hda2
[08:57] <trix> and if I switch out and back in to X it fixes it
[08:57] <gh0sty2k> Rubin what should the correct command format look like?
[08:58] <trix> I mean it doesn't fix it but it changes the focus
[08:58] <trix> so I can get to the button I need to click
[08:58] <Rubin> Nutubuntu, you would use fdisk to partition your hard disk.  theres no convention really except you need enough space for the OS and a swap partition for each distro
[08:58] <dimas_> KurtKraut i trying to have my camera works on flash player on a video chat room
[08:58] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, sudo mount /dev/harddiskdevice /path/to/mount/it
[08:58] <shiner_> nabend
[08:58] <nickrud> Nutubuntu: http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/ , http://www.xfce.org/ (xubuntu) , and for the extreme, http://www.suckless.org/wiki/dwm
[08:58] <gh0sty2k> Rubin i dont know what path i should use to mount.. thats the problem
[08:59] <KurtKraut> dimas_: oh, that would be pretty hard to be set. It is a very unusual feature. Does your webcam works in ubuntu in the first place ?
[08:59] <trix> it is very confusing that this problem persists to the live dvd
[08:59] <shiner_> good evening
[08:59] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, its your choice. there is no wrong answer. it just has to exist.  do sudo mkdir /mnt/mydisk and use that
[08:59] <gh0sty2k> k
[08:59] <Rubin> trix, i think its a hardware problem
[08:59] <mtx1> anyone here have a big lcd that had to mess with horiz and vert in xorg config? i can not get it right i have tried xvidtune and i get invalid mode? my screen is too far to the right and bottom anyone know how to fix?
[08:59] <Nutubuntu> t/y nickrud :)
[08:59] <benanz1> when I get a kernel upgrade, is it safe to remove the old kernel?
[09:00] <nickrud> Nutubuntu: and when someone says distro, they mean like redhat, or suse, or mandriva, or the like. Totally separate from ubuntu, and therefore installed on a separate partition
[09:00] <trix> hmm...  ok.  maybe in my frustration I did this thing in.
[09:00] <Rubin> mtx1: does your lcd not have some kind of adjustments for that?
[09:00] <dimas_> KurtKraut work perfect with xawtv and msna did install ov51x and my camera is a creative live! vista
[09:00] <mtx1> i have set monitor defaults but it still is not in the right place...i can adjust it but as soon as monitor somes off and back on it auto adjust and is back to the bottom right again
[09:00] <mtx1> somes = comes
[09:00] <KurtKraut> dimas_: I suggest you to ask for help in ubuntuforums.org, with full details.
[09:00] <shiner_> i got the following prob: yesterday I installed ubuntu on my fujitsu amilo m6450g but i got no sound and also no idea how to fix.
[09:00] <Nutubuntu> nickrud, got it ... fluxbox and waimea I'm unfamiliar with and thought distros rather than window mgrs. Insufficient coffee I suppose :)
[09:01] <CoasterMaster> !sound | shiner_
[09:01] <ubotu> shiner_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[09:01] <nickrud> Nutubuntu: which reminds me, mine is cold
[09:01] <trix> I am dual booting.  I'll see if it misbehaves in windows and if not...  I'll be back.
[09:01] <Rubin> k
[09:01] <dimas_> KurtKraut i just posted a message for help thanks
[09:02] <Aishiko> I'm tring to replace the "open folder" default to a different file manager and can't seem to get it to do so, I've tried the same process I used to do file types by going to the properites of a particular file and trying to change it taht way but no go is there a different or another way under gnome desktop to do that?
[09:02] <Nutubuntu> <-- once ran a server whose IPX network was DECAFBAD ... long ago
[09:02] <simplyw00x> hi everyone, could anyone help me configure my USB touchscreen as an X device? It either isn't calibrated or clicks too many times when I tap, depending on how X is configured. I'm using evtouch. Also, it gets broken with Twinview
[09:05] <kRush> how do I get ntpd to bind to ppp0 on startup?
[09:06] <joao> how can i put in the desktop the screenlets without that black bord?
[09:07] <Surlent> can anyone tell me how to properly use GParted's Rescue ability?
[09:07] <gh0sty2k> folks when i try and mount a drive sudo mount /dev/hda2 /dev/hda2 it says i need to specify a file system.. how do i do that?
[09:08] <dug_> gh0sty2k: add a -t flag, for example: -t ntfs-3g
[09:08] <astro76> gh0sty2k, you shouldn't be repeating the /dev/hda2
[09:08] <pike_> gh0sty2k: typically if its prompting for that youve typed mount command wrong these days
[09:09] <gh0sty2k> Well i just want to mount a drive.. i dont know how to do it
[09:09] <gh0sty2k> pike_ can you tell me the proper command
[09:09] <dug_> gh0sty2k: sudo mkdir /media/yourdrive  --then--  sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/yourdirve
[09:09] <pike_> gh0sty2k: you mount the dev node to a directory so sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/something    the /media/something can be any directory really
[09:10] <gh0sty2k> ok and then it asks for file system
[09:10] <arooni> is there anyway to maximize my power settings on my t61 laptop for max battery life?  i dont mind if cpu clock speed really slows down etc....... i want my advertised 6 hours ;p
[09:10] <pike_> gh0sty2k: what is this partition? what file syste? your windows part or what?
[09:11] <gh0sty2k> windows
[09:11] <Surlent> can anyone tell me how to properly use GParted's Rescue ability?
[09:11] <|FrOstiE|> arooni click the battery and set it :)
[09:11] <benanz1> Nautilus won't create new documents from right-click Create Document.  I can't create an "empty file" or any of my templates.  Create Folder still works.
[09:12] <benanz1> is it a gconf setting?
[09:12] <gh0sty2k> pike_ can i pm for a moment?
[09:12] <pike_> arooni: you can bring down wireless if ya have it also dim brightness maybe tough i dont know how much diff it will make. xgamma -gamma .5 or something maybe
[09:12] <dbe> Hi there world.
[09:12] <dug_> arooni: http://www.williambrownstreet.net/wordpress/?p=23
[09:12] <pike_> gh0sty2k: you using ntfs3g or just trying tomount and read it?
[09:12] <K0brik> I have some trouble with my ununtu/sendmail configuration can anyone help?
[09:13] <arooni> what about CPU clock speed
[09:13] <gh0sty2k> mount and read it
[09:13] <Rubin> pike_, arooni, brightness dimmer on t61 doesn't work yet. but you can 'echo down" > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness  to do it manually
[09:13] <arooni> can i slow stuff down to a 1Ghz or something
[09:13] <gh0sty2k> pike_ im setting this machine to be a file server
[09:13] <gh0sty2k> pike_ im going to need to write too it aswell
[09:13] <pike_> gh0sty2k: fdisk -l | grep ntfs   <-- what does this say?
[09:13] <Rubin> arooni, it slows automatically when there is no need for the cpu. load the cpu frequency monitor to your menu bar
[09:13] <darlok> What package(s) do I need to install to use the KDE desktop, but NOT install any additional unwanted applications?
[09:14] <KurtKraut> arooni: not in Linux, I guess. You can
[09:14] <gh0sty2k> pike_ says nothing
[09:14] <pike_> yeah i typed that wrong ;)
[09:14] <gh0sty2k> :P
[09:15] <arooni> ah ok its at 800 Mhz
[09:15] <nephish> having a problem with scp when i do scp file me@myhost.com:/ark/file.tar.gz it gives me  /ark/file.tar.gz no such file or directory -- i am trying to create this, what am i getting wrong?
[09:15] <Rubin> darlok, guessing, kde-core maybe?
[09:15] <K0brik> ubuntu/sendmail and some crazy dns lookup anyone?
[09:15] <pike_> !ntfs | gh0sty2k
[09:15] <ubotu> gh0sty2k: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:15] <Nutubuntu> darlok, kde-core or kde-base
[09:15] <Surlent> Can anyone tell me how to properly use GParted's Rescue ability? Anyone at all?
[09:15] <pike_> gh0sty2k: this automount script may do a better job for ya
[09:15] <astro76> nephish, I think the directory has to exist, also you have to specify the full path, like :~/ark/file.tar.gz maybe?
[09:15] <Rubin> nephish, dont include the remote filename. just a directroy
[09:15] <jamster545> i am having trouble getting xinit server and gnome to start on Feisty server
[09:16] <pike_> !ntfs3g | gh0sty2k
[09:16] <darlok> Nutubuntu, Rubin: Thank you.
[09:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs3g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:16] <pike_> !ntfs-3g | gh0sty2k
[09:16] <ubotu> gh0sty2k: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:16] <dug_> gh0sty2k: did you try using the -t ntfs-3g flag?
[09:16] <gh0sty2k> pike_ what command?
[09:16] <gh0sty2k> :P thanks
[09:16] <gh0sty2k> !ntfs-3g
[09:16] <nephish> Rubin, tried that and it spits out /ark is a directory
[09:16] <dug_> gh0sty2k: if it isn't ntfs, it may be a FAT drive.  Use the -t flag vfat instead of ntfs-3g
[09:16] <Nutubuntu> darlok, they're different (kde-core and kde-base), look both ways before crossing the street ;p
[09:16] <Rubin> nephish,  /ark is not the same as /home/yourhomedir/ark
[09:17] <Rubin> nephish, or is it in the root?
[09:17] <nephish> ok, full path is me@myhost.com:/ark/some_dir
[09:17] <Surlent> THIS IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE, 12GB ARE AT STAKE. =(
[09:17] <jamster545> hey can i get some help getting the xserver (xinit/gnome) to open on Feisty server?
[09:17] <gh0sty2k> yup didnt do anything
[09:17] <Tmi-> Anyone recognises a problem where sound suddenly goes to mono? I know I've fixed it before but I can't remeber how I did it.

[09:17] <ubotu> andrew: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:18] <Rubin> nephish, does the filename have anything weird in it?
[09:18] <Jowi> jamster545, you just installed from the server cd?
[09:18] <gh0sty2k> dug_ can i pm please?
[09:18] <cdm10> How do I read a certain number of bytes from a file (from the terminal)?
[09:18] <K0brik> nonetheless I can't get rid of it by uninstalling it
[09:18] <jamster545> yes jowi
[09:18] <dug_> Surlent: there is a command line tool called fsck that will repair a drive (sometimes)
[09:18] <dug_> gh0sty2k: sure
[09:18] <jamster545> yeah i did Jowi and i installed xinit
[09:18] <nickrud> jamster545: install  ubuntu-desktop
[09:18] <nephish> Rubin filename is archive_2007_09_09.tar.gz

[09:18] <KurtKraut> neumind: Please, stop doing that. There is no 'andrew' in this channel.
[09:18] <jamster545> i need the server edition
[09:18] <neumind> yah?
[09:19] <CheesyMonkey> Why does Java require an old GCC?
[09:19] <cdm10> gh0sty2k: you're not going to be able to PM him until you identify to nickserv
[09:19] <Jowi> jamster545, that lowmem link is to tack on Xorg on a server install.
[09:19] <Rubin> cdm10, i think theres numerous ways. check out man page for 'head'
[09:19] <cdm10> Rubin: thanks
[09:19] <lucypher> hi anyone knows how to enavle Tracker to follow symlinks?
[09:19] <jamster545> i installed xinit
[09:19] <Surlent> fsck? can you elaborate a bit on this? Please keep in mind that while I am skilled in DOS and Windows, I know next to nothing about Linux...
[09:19] <nephish> should i leave off the / ?   /ark/some_folder instead of /ark/somefolder/  ?
[09:19] <nickrud> jamster545: you'll keep the same server edition you have already, and shuts up

[09:20] <harveyneon> i'm looking for help with some advanced partitioning questions
[09:21] <Rubin> harveyneon, just ask
[09:21] <Surlent> hey me too
[09:21] <harveyneon> Rubin ok thanks.
[09:21] <radioaktivstorm> question.... doe anyone know how i can access functions i have written in the gedit window from the gedit python console?
[09:22] <Surlent> dug_ would you mind a pm explaining a little more in-depth what my issue is?
[09:22] <dug_> Surlent: go to applications->accessories->terminal.  Type "fdisk -l"  See which device is your hard drive (/dev/sda1 or whatever).  Then type "fsck /dev/sda1" I believe to run a disk check and repair
[09:22] <harveyneon> I've got a 40GB drive in my laptop with the first 30 gigs are ntfs/broken xp home install, and my preferred OS on the remaining 10gigs, ubuntu 7.04.  i want to reclaim the ntfs some how and wondering what the best way to do it is. gpart does not resize ntfs.
[09:23] <Rubin> harveyneon, fdisk /dev/yourharddiskdevice
[09:23] <indian> how do i set up internet in ubuntu
[09:23] <KurtKraut> harveyneon: the best option should be a whole repartitioning
[09:23] <Rubin> harveyneon, delete the ntfs partition, create a new one tagged linux, then save and quit fdisk, and use 'mkfs.ext3' to create a filesystem on it.
[09:23] <bobjones> hello, i was hoping someone can help me debug why ubuntu livecd keeps just crashing during boot or if im lucky install, there is no error messages.  The cd passes the test as does memory and XP runs fine.
[09:23] <jamster545> Jowi: thankyou for the link and i will try what it says using Xorg instead of Xinit
[09:23] <Jowi> jamster545, you're welcome
[09:23] <Rubin> harveyneon, or, you could delete it and resize your existing partition so its all one big disk
[09:23] <jamster545> brb
[09:24] <Aishiko> darlok kde-core
[09:24] <Rubin> bobjones, could be some problem with hardware drivers

[09:24] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, rmdir
[09:24] <gh0sty2k> thnks
[09:24] <cdm10> gh0sty2k: rmdir only works when the directory is empty, though
[09:24] <cdm10> gh0sty2k: so try rm -r /path/to/dir/
[09:25] <Rubin>  rm -rf  but BE CAREFULL
[09:25] <harveyneon> Rubin: yeah fdisk will delete it and then gpart will resize my existing root partition. noice. i should have thought of fdisk i guess.
[09:25] <dug_> bobjones: if your computer is real new, it may be more likely to have compatibility problems with ubuntu feisty (released last april).  you might try the latest ubuntu gutsy tribe 5 cd, just a guess/suggestion
[09:25] <threethirty> hello all
[09:25] <cdm10> Rubin: no need to use f unless something's not working
[09:25] <bobjones> Rubin: Nope, I have no more blank disks.

[09:26] <Rubin> bobjones, its possible a kernel boot param might help. but without some sign of what the problem is it would be total guessing. you could try turning off acpi, or interrupts ..

[09:28] <astro76> Aishiko, yes
[09:28] <Aishiko> ahhh OK thank you
[09:28] <MatBoy> hey guys. Are the Nvidia drivers default in (x)ubuntu or is it the same as with debian ?
[09:28] <Aishiko> astro76 ahhh OK thank you
[09:28] <Surlent> dug_ or anyone knowledgeable: I got an error message claiming that fsck.ntfs was not found and gave me something it called Error 2 while executing
[09:29] <astro76> Aishiko, if you could change the open folder action somehow, you'd never be able to use nautilus properly
[09:29] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, I don't know enough about this, but found this link: you may get somewhere with the ntfsresize command it cites: http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsck
[09:29] <velko> Surlent, install ntfsprogs
[09:29] <harveyneon> MatBoy: non-free proprietary binary driver, not auto included in distro but i have nvidia and have installed their latest driver with no obvious issues so far.

[09:30] <impostor> hi there
[09:30] <Skyfalcon866> can i install kubuntu on top of ubuntu
[09:30] <corevette> dug_: how often do they release updates?
[09:30] <Flannel> Skyfalcon866: yep, just install the kubuntu-desktop package
[09:30] <impostor> how do I change my window manager?
[09:30] <dug_> corevette: about a couple times a year or so i'd guess
[09:31] <Aishiko> Astro76, If I can after I get PC working I'll try and remove nautlis
[09:31] <astro76> Aishiko, well there's nothing preventing you from using other file managers, but I have no idea how to change the default in gnome
[09:31] <velko> dug_, he still can install programs. even running from the livecd. he'll just lose the installed stuff on reboot
[09:31] <impostor> just for cusiosity
[09:31] <Nutubuntu> Skyfalcon866, yes, you might want to look at psychocats.net first in case you don't want the full complement of Kde software installed as well

[09:32] <v1k1ng> i don't think livecds work with wireless, you have to install
[09:33] <Aishiko> astro76 tried kde, and I couldn't configure it, I may try again in a month or 2 but not before I try and get gnome running right
[09:33] <Surlent> argh
[09:33] <velko> Surlent, if installing stuff is not an option for you because of lack on i-net you may try a livecd which already contains the right drivers. there are a lot of recovery live cds out there
[09:33] <MatBoy> harveyneon, found it :)
[09:33] <astro76> Aishiko, you could probably customize nautilus if you dig into gconf
[09:33] <v1k1ng> would something like linuxmint livecd be more likely to work?
[09:33] <Fluor> jport: What I was looking for is actually how to write a ps like tool myself (coding in C btw)...
[09:34] <BastetFurry> I am running 7.04 here and not even one KDE based app works, is that some sort of common problem?
[09:34] <MatBoy> is xubuntu much lighter than kubuntu ? I have discovered with Debian that there was a lot of difference
[09:34] <Surlent> maybe it would help if I explained exactly what the problem is, but it would be a bit of a flood, which is why I was asking dug_ there about a PM
[09:34] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, pastebin it
[09:34] <Aishiko> astro76 gconf? I'll look at it.
[09:34] <Jowi> Fluor, you better visit one of the specific programming channels.
[09:34] <indian> how do i connect to the internet through an ethernet connection on a dsl modem
[09:34] <velko> Fluor, look at the /proc virtual file system
[09:34] <sam2> i've managed to get my xserver to start up, but my screen looks like this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v87/jazoo/misc/DSC00780.jpg. Any idea on how to correct it?
[09:35] <Jowi> !dsl | indian
[09:35] <ubotu> indian: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[09:35] <Surlent> pastebin?
[09:35] <Nutubuntu> !paste
[09:35] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:35] <v1k1ng> matboy:  i suspect the differences are similar
[09:35] <indian> is there any way to do it without folowing thows steps
[09:35] <dug_> Surlent: sorry, i'm not sure (if you don't have net access from the live cd to install ntfsprogs).  I tend to use other live cds for drive repair/rescue, like knoppix
[09:35] <indian> i dont understand them very well
[09:35] <Jowi> indian, I would set up the connection in the modem itself (see its manual).
[09:36] <MatBoy> v1k1ng, but the perfomance should be better with XFCE than KDE is what you mean ?
[09:36] <Surlent> ...it's not a whole text file or anything, but it's no one-liner either
[09:36] <Skyfalcon866> what kernel does ubuntu use
[09:36] <Jowi> Skyfalcon866, depends on which version you're using.
[09:36] <Skyfalcon866> fiesty
[09:36] <dug_> Surlent: sure, paste whatever you like.  one thing i forgot is you may need to add sudo to that command i gave earlier: sudo fsck /dev/sda1 or whatever
[09:36] <Aishiko> dang it nautilus is unremovable
[09:36] <v1k1ng> matboy:  yeah, if you're running an older computer with lesser resources, etc xubuntu should work better
[09:36] <Surlent> what the heck, let's give it a go...
[09:37] <Jowi> !info linux-image-generic
[09:37] <v1k1ng> matboy:  I used to run xubuntu on my old pentium III and it ran much nicer than ubuntu
[09:37] <Surlent> it's a two-parter at minimum to avoid cutoff
[09:37] <ubotu> linux-image-generic: Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>.28.1 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[09:37] <MatBoy> v1k1ng, yeah P4 3Ghz... will order a Q6600 this week again :)
[09:37] <Jowi> Skyfalcon866, there you go
[09:37] <dug_> anyone recommend for or against using tasksel to install server stuff or xubuntu or edubuntu or whatever?
[09:38] <Surlent> so there I was, messing around with Ubuntu, when I decided HEY LET'S INSTALL JUST BECAUSE . So, I went up to the point of cutting off half of my hard drive. I started the acual install, but chickened out and hit Cancel. Restarting XP, I discovered that the partion did indeed take effect. A day later, I got my courage back and decided to install Ubuntu again...(more)
[09:38] <Surlent> ...and decided that to be on the safe side I'd eliminate the partition and start from scratch. Whoops. I eliminated that partion by hitting "Delete Partition". Hot damn. It said the whole thing was "unallocated" now and when I restarted I couldn't get in to anything. So, I decided to try making it one giant partition because that's what my USB drive looked like. Now I have all my space, but I still can't access anything. It's like the directorie
[09:38] <dug_> Surlent: oh i thought you were going to paste it to a pastebin service like:
[09:38] <v1k1ng> matboy:  yeah, I'd say run xubuntu if you want more efficiency.
[09:38] <dug_> !paste | Surlent
[09:38] <ubotu> Surlent: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:38] <Chinaski1> hello , i have got an old , bit slow computer (athlon xp 1200) and was considering to install xubuntu on it. can i keep running gtk apps on it like deluge bit torrent ?
[09:38] <v1k1ng> chinaskil:  yup
[09:39] <MatBoy> v1k1ng, yep :) but I have the idea that Ubuntu is already running better than Debian... everything is more integrated
[09:39] <Surlent> anyway I hope that didn't cut off there
[09:39] <Surlent> especially on that second one
[09:39] <Aishiko> Surlent it did
[09:39] <Jowi> Chinaski1, yes. you can even run QT apps if you want.
[09:39] <v1k1ng> matboy:  well you could dual boot for a while til you decide
[09:39] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, it cut off the 2nd one; pastebin it instead pls?
[09:39] <Surlent> argh, fine
[09:40] <Chinaski1> good, has xubuntu got a package menager , like synaptic on ubuntu?
[09:40] <lymeca> I recently upgraded to 7.04 and the options to restart and shut down have disappeared from the power off button.  How can I get them back?
[09:40] <usser> Chinaski1: i believe it uses synaptic
[09:40] <v1k1ng> matboy:  I've considered running xubuntu on my laptop if gutsy doesn't pan out
[09:40] <velko> Chinaski1, xubuntu IS ubuntu. you may use whatever programs you are used to
[09:40] <vandenoever> hi, i want to uninstall vmware-player
[09:40] <v1k1ng> chinaskil:  yes, it uses synaptic
[09:41] <dug_> Surlent: just a guess, but if you can't boot to windows xp anymore, it may be that grub was installed, or your mbr was messed up, search for 'fix mbr ubuntu' or something similar
[09:41] <ruben> I have a problem with viewing a mpg-file with Totem. There is only sound.
[09:41] <dug_> !mbr
[09:41] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:41] <vandenoever> but it is not possible, because one of the uninstall script crashes
[09:41] <vandenoever> is there  a way to force an uninstall?
[09:41] <Surlent> OK HERE IT IS

[09:41] <jcaceres> how can i post a bug?
[09:41] <jcaceres> a bug easy to solve
[09:41] <jcaceres> ?
[09:41] <Jowi> ruben, run "file filename.mpg" and see which video codec it uses. you probably have to install that codec (search synaptic for gstreamer if you run standard totem or xine if you use totem-xine)
[09:42] <CoasterMaster> !bug | jcaceres

[09:42] <Chinaski1> very good, actually on that computer runs ubuntu 7.04. is there a way to switch to xubuntu without reinstalling all the system?
[09:42] <v1k1ng> chinaskill:  basically xubuntu is ubuntu with lighter xcfe desktop instead of gnome or kde, but you can still install programs from both...heck you can still install those desktops if you change your mind down the road
[09:42] <dug_> Surlent: sorry, i'm not sure what the problem is, perhaps someone else here can help out
[09:43] <helloRobot> my computer is on right now, can i just add a pci device? is it plug&play?
[09:43] <v1k1ng> chinaskil:   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_XFCE_.28Xubuntu.29
[09:43] <astro76> helloRobot, no
[09:43] <Roly[] > im having trouble installing ubuntu onto my flash drive, when i boot ubuntu live CD it isnt recognising my flash drive
[09:43] <dug_> helloRobot: a pci card?  you need to have the computer off when you install that
[09:43] <Surlent> dug: Was I too ambiguous?
[09:43] <helloRobot> ok thanks
[09:43] <sam2> I've managed to get my xerver to start up using the fbdev driver but my desktop looks like this - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v87/jazoo/misc/DSC00780.jpg. does anyone know how to correct it?
[09:44] <bXi> is there any superkarambe clone for gnome?
[09:44] <ruben> @jowi jowi, where do I type "file filename.mpg" in terminal?
[09:44] <Tiradin> the grub info from ubotu doesn't exactly tell me what happened with my laptop nor really how to install GRUB when it had failed like that. My issue was while INSTALLING ubuntu Studio, not afterwards.
[09:44] <Jowi> ruben, yes.
[09:44] <dug_> Surlent: do you think you re-formatted your windows partition?
[09:44] <Chinaski1> v1k1ng,  thanks
[09:44] <velko> bXi, already looked at gDesklets?
[09:45] <rjh> does alien work with win .exes?
[09:45] <Surlent> all I did was hit "delete partion" on the only thing it would let me select
[09:45] <Surlent> I honestly don't know what I did
[09:45] <v1k1ng> chinaskil:  nor problem, that new users guide comes in handy!!!
[09:45] <preaction> rjh, no. you need to use wine for that
[09:45] <PKdoR> Sup peeps?
[09:45] <PKdoR> wazup peeps?
[09:45] <threethirty> does anyone know why I cant get video to play when I have beryl enabled on my laptop (Intel GMA) but it works on my desktop (Nvidia non-free) both running feisty
[09:46] <exerd> Does anyone have ubuntu installed with ati mobile x1600 graphic card?
[09:46] <PKdoR> im having trubble with the screeen savers
[09:46] <Jowi> threethirty, you get a blue screen?
[09:46] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, not sure I'm understanding your problem as you've written it. Is this correct: You have partitioned and re-partitioned (deleted partitions, etc) *and* done a full installation of Ubuntu, and can't login? can't see anything once you login? or what?
[09:46] <Surlent> I just need to find a way to make the little signs on my directories point the right way so that the BIOS doesn't get lost and will let me in, metaphorically speaking...I think.
[09:46] <fatcatmatt> threethirty, what version of fiesty are you running?  x86 or x64?
[09:46] <dug_> Surlent: so you want to keep or recover your windows partition, but when you boot to the ubuntu live cd, you don't see your windows hard drive anywhere, or it is empty
[09:46] <Surlent> I did not install ubuntu
[09:46] <rjh> im  trying winamp going and im using crossover but i have 29 days left and will wine by it self work it?
[09:46] <threethirty> x86 and no its just a blank screen
[09:46] <bXi> velko: gDesklets feel quite slow and dont have much options so to see
[09:46] <PKdoR> wonce my creen saver starts i cant get back un uubuntu, and in stuc at a black screen with the mouse pointer
[09:47] <Jowi> threethirty, which video player are you using?
[09:47] <threethirty> totem
[09:47] <Jowi> rjh, why not use xmms?
[09:47] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, okay, so you repartitioned and did not install, and nothing is on the partitions? If so that would be as expected. I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something
[09:47] <dug_> rjh: xmms is an exact clone of winamp pretty much
[09:47] <rjh> because winamp has the proper setting to dj
[09:47] <cyberjames> hi, how to extract zip files in ftp environment? Is it possible?
[09:47] <ruben> Jowi, it says " MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex
[09:47] <ruben> " , so I look for "multiplex" at synaptic?
[09:47] <Surlent> I only had 1 partition to begin with. Enter Ubuntu. It made 2, one which was Windows, one unallocated.  I guess I did.
[09:47] <dug_> Surlent: what are you running now?  are you in windows? or running off an ubuntu cd?
[09:48] <astro76> rjh, there's a ton of linux audio players, I'm sure there's something suitable
[09:48] <fatcatmatt> threethirty: i have problems with my laptop (hp dv9230us) with beryl on my nividia go 7600 so i just use the default effects
[09:48] <Surlent> On my computer I am using Ubuntu CD; I am currently typing on a laptop
[09:48] <Jowi> threethirty, totem or totem-xine?
[09:48] <rjh> unless xmms has something i am not aware of
[09:48] <threethirty> jowi, totem with gstreamer
[09:48] <Surlent> So how could I recover/rescue the windows partition would be the question, I guess...
[09:48] <Skrypt> What can I do to mount my external hard drive?
[09:48] <abelabel> what would be the easiest way to convert a pdf file to a bitmap (jpg/png/...) format?
[09:48] <Skrypt> it's not doing it automatically.
[09:48] <dug_> Surlent: on the desktop computer, can you boot it to windows?  if not, can you boot it to run off the ubuntu cd to recover your computer?
[09:49] <rjh> so try xmms with shoutcast plig ins?
[09:49] <Grungebunny> abelabel screenshot?
[09:49] <rjh> plug ins?
[09:49] <Surlent> dug_: No to the first, and I can boot to Ubuntu
[09:49] <dispraekailo> Does anyone here have experience with freenx on gusty?
[09:49] <indian> How do I set up wireless internet in ubuntu if my router has a wpa key
[09:49] <olivier_> I cannot play any sound.... after the greeting sound at the login (and it's bizare I ear it twice) When i try to play a MP3 or a wav or any thing it freeze... and the sudo gedit freee also and the User and Group..... Due it's the same probleme for all those thing?
[09:49] <ruben>  @Jowi, it says " MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex, for what should I look in Synaptic?
[09:49] <dug_> when you boot to ubuntu, is the windows partition or drive listed or mounted at all?  If it can be mounted, is it empty or does it have your files?
[09:49] <velko> abelabel, not sure but maybe gimp can open pdf? or ps/eps?
[09:49] <n-iCe> Hi
[09:49] <abelabel> Grungebunny: good idea, but if possible I'd like to get it at a somewhat higher resolution
[09:50] <n-iCe> Why when the power goes off, i can't connect to my wireless?
[09:50] <Surlent> hey dug_ is there a spot I can post a screenshot for you? Or DCC it to you?
[09:50] <astro76> indian, do you see your wireless network when you click the network applet (in the tray next to the clock)?
[09:50] <indian> no
[09:50] <dug_> Surlent: you can try posting it to a free image service like http://imageshack.us
[09:50] <Jowi> threethirty, I think you should try to change the video output sink to x11. i don't remember where to do that with totem-gstreamer though...
[09:50] <PKdoR> my ubuntu installation does not recognize my raoi 0 raptors
[09:50] <Surlent> so DCC is out then...
[09:51] <astro76> indian, once it's setup properly that's how you have to connect, what kind of card do you have?
[09:51] <Jowi> ruben, can you give me the full output that "file" gave you?
[09:51] <abelabel> velko: thanks, it works! I hadn't thought Gimp would be capable of it
[09:51] <rjh> speaking of wireless: why does 7.4 connect to the router and 7.10 does not?
[09:51] <threethirty> Jowi, ok ill try that
[09:51] <indian> astro: its an internal wireless

[09:57] <Jowi> sam2, looks like either fbdev is set to 8 bit (256 colours)...? if it is, change it to 16 or 24 bit. if it is not, try with the vesa driver or use the native driver for your card instead.
[09:57] <threethirty> Jowi, ty
[09:57] <harveyneon> Rubin: i'm about to fdisk delete my ntfs partition. it is my only drive and so my boot partiton. i think grub is my boot program. since this disk shows three partitions, can i assume that one or more of them is a boot sector do you think? i have pasted my df -h output here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36931/
[09:57] <MatBoy> mhh, the xubuntu installer is damn slow :S
[09:57] <Surlent> it's 800x600 for great justice
[09:57] <Jowi> threethirty, it worked?
[09:58] <sam2> jowi: that is it set to 16, on 24 it becomes black and white. I don't seem to have a vesa option on my PPC G4.
[09:58] <dug_> Surlent: well you said you chickened out before finishing the install.  gparted doesn't actually do the partitioning until after you made all the decisions and confirmed it.  maybe gparted didn't do anything
[09:58] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, anyone who can quote from ayb at a time like this deserves a compliment just for that
[09:58] <Jowi> sam2, oh. don't know that hardware at all i'm afraid.
[09:58] <ruben> @jowi I get a very large list of things I don't understand
[09:58] <JeevesMoss> anyone on the rsync question?
[09:58] <threethirty> jowi, yeah but i went in via commandline, gstreamer-properties
[09:59] <truthsayer> hello guys
[09:59] <dug_> Surlent: also, Windows XP doesn't recognize ext3/swap and other kinds of linux partitions, only ntfs and fat32

[09:59] <sam2> jowi: thanks for your help anyway :)
[09:59] <LinuxNT> Thanks in advance.
[09:59] <Jowi> sam2, doesn't the G4 come with an ATI card?
[09:59] <Surlent> dug_: That might explain a little
[09:59] <Jowi> threethirty, yeah, that was easier alright. :)
[09:59] <linuxadmin> [bomber] 96281 XDCC SEND #10
[09:59] <dug_> Surlent: in windows you can installed something like explore2fs and be able to view any linux partitions, if need be
[10:00] <Surlent> nice to know, but that is moot at the moment =/
[10:00] <sam2> jowi: it's got an ATI rage 128 graphics card. i've tried the r128 driver, but xserver won't start.
[10:00] <soneil_> JeevesMoss: It's kinda two questions.  are you having problems with rsync or cron? (or both I guess).  fwiw, my magic for rsync is http://pastebin.ca/689037    can't help you with cron, however
[10:00] <truthsayer> could someone try to help me with a wireless problem in kubuntu?
[10:00] <Surlent> anyway that ss is a week old but still entirely relevant.
[10:01] <Surlent> as I am terrified to touch the thing
[10:01] <sasa> hey all, I am having difficulties partitioning my system. Basically, I have one windows, one ubuntu and one fat32 partition
[10:01] <harveyneon> i have an advanced partition question. i have delicious copypasta for you: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36932/
[10:01] <JeevesMoss> soneil:  it's a fresh install.  I need to have everything (all the sub directories) of /home/www_root/ backed up to a remote box.
[10:01] <Jowi> sam2, ok, then i have no clue.
[10:02] <dug_> Surlent: you might want to invest in a 2nd hard drive or an external hard drive and backup anything you have in windows
[10:02] <sasa> I tried to resise fat32 so I could take away a few gigs and allocate it towards windows partition
[10:02] <[Thom] > You still there?
[10:02] <sasa> I have an issue where, after I boot off of live cd, I cannot allocate extra space to my windows partition
[10:02] <sam2> jowi: haha, again, thanks for your help :). I could do with finding a mac expert
[10:03] <harveyneon> please check my pasted system output and question: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36932/
[10:03] <Surlent> dug_: If I could get to Windows, I have a second drive I could back crap up to

[10:04] <Jowi> salut blackbg va a #ubuntu-fr pour aide en francaise :)
[10:04] <sasa> Evanlec: I am not aware of a tool that can do that in wondows (unless there are some command prompt commands I am not aware of that would repartition it)

[10:04] <soneil_> JeevesMoss: the rsync part of that is what I just pasted.  you'll want to set up passwordless ssh for it to work nicely (all over google).  I'd just put it in a script somewhere, then adding it to cron should be pretty straightforward
[10:04] <dug_> Surlent: when booted to ubuntu live cd, go to the menu places->computer, then double-click the drive with windows stuff on it if you can.  See if the windows files are visible there.

[10:06] <bobjones> Rubin: I just tried 6.10 and it seems to have installed fine if that gives you any hints as to why the 7.04 installer keeps crashing

[10:06] <truthsayer> wireless problem?
[10:06] <Evanlec> sasa, probably but i never did it that way, i feel like its safer to resize windows partitions from within windows, especially with Vista
[10:06] <Jowi> ruben, well, you need plugins. search for "gstreamer plugin" and install the plugin that looks like it can match (gstreamer version 0.10 is probably the version you have)
[10:06] <sasa> Evanlec: it's XP, not Vista
[10:06] <Surlent> neither were viewable at any point, even before the partitioning
[10:06] <harveyneon> someone with boot partition knowledge please help me with this quick partitioning problem/question: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36933/
[10:07] <rjh> anyone know about wireless stuff?
[10:07] <Jowi> ruben, I guess that package "gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg" could do the trick.

[10:09] <Dr_willis> theres some laptop mode tools - you may want to try.
[10:09] <Evanlec> sasa, okay try doing it from command line then, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ntfsresize
[10:09] <Evanlec> and also man fdisk
[10:09] <jacob_> scguy318 hold up
[10:10] <Evanlec> also try cfdisk, a lot more friendly version of fdisk
[10:10] <MattSmith> Folks, I have a question regarding permissions for a FAT32 volume on a USB external drive.  Anybody feel like offering a bit of help?
[10:10] <rjh> because i tryed every thing i know and it tryes to connect and does but does not transmin
[10:10] <Surlent> dug_: It says that I don't have "permission" to view the contents of the folder
[10:10] <Dr_willis> MattSmith,  you set the permissions with the umask, and other options WHEN MOUNTING the drive..
[10:11] <MattSmith> Dr_W: concur with that.  I've tried every flavor I can think of in fstab but it still shows up read only.  Any ideas?
[10:11] <Dr_willis> MattSmith,  however ive seen the automounting stuff get confused and do it wrong. i always end up manually mounting the things.
[10:11] <Kopfgeldjaeger> nacht
[10:11] <allorder> hi everyone, I want to do:  sudo iptables -P INPUT DROP  but after a reboot this iptable -L    show Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) it doesnt save the setting, what i should do ?
[10:11] <scguy318> jacob_: take your time, I'm not going anywhere :)
[10:11] <Dr_willis> MattSmith,  linux basics. :) you are Unmounting, and remounting the drive after editing the fstab?
[10:11] <dug_> Surlent: try unmounting (right click icon on desktop) then "sudo chmod 777 /media/Windows"  then mount again "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/Windows" or whatever
[10:11] <jacob_> scguy318: http://pastebin.com/m7e12380b
[10:12] <Dr_willis> chmoding the mount POINT - i think will have No effect on the windows drive.
[10:12] <uncle_grombor> I have an internal cd burner in my computer and ubuntu will not recognize it.  I've looked in the forums, wiki pages, etc...  How do I find out if it just is not supported or if I have a problem with my install?
[10:12] <MattSmith> Dr_W: What's the proper umask=??? so everybody can rw.  Yes, un and re-mounting after editing fstab.  No problem, I really am that stupid.
[10:12] <jacob_> scguy318, thanks for helping me
[10:12] <uncle_grombor> Redhat and windows xp will recognize it however.  Which I find odd.
[10:12] <Dr_willis> MattSmith,  i think its 0002 :) its documented all over the place.
[10:12] <harveyneon> someone with boot partition knowledge please help me with this quick partitioning problem/question: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36933/

[10:12] <usser> Dr_willis: when windows is mounted
[10:12] <n-iCe> HOw do i stop my wireless connection
[10:12] <n-iCe> and how to start
[10:12] <dug_> what chown do you do when you are in live cd though?  what is username for live cd user?
[10:13] <Dr_willis> usser,  Hmm..  I cant say that ive ever seen that to be true.   but i got no windows drives to test. :)
[10:13] <scguy318> jacob_: looks like you don't have /dev/radio device, can you pastebin the output of lspci?
[10:13] <MattSmith> Got it, umask=002.  Thanks for the help.  I'll give it a whirl.
[10:13] <scguy318> dug_: the LiveCD user is ubuntu
[10:13] <Dr_willis> usser,  hmm chown.. i always set the uid inb the fstab to be my main user actually. :) guess thats the same effect
[10:13] <usser> Dr_willis: yep
[10:13] <ruben> @jowi, that one all ready seems to be installed
[10:14] <harveyneon> someone with boot partition knowledge please help me with this quick partitioning problem/question: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36933/
[10:14] <dug_> Surlent: gotta go, if that doesn't work, try "sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu /media/windows" to give you the right to view the drive
[10:14] <Surlent> dug_: reading the properties area, it says that the contents are Unreadable
[10:14] <Dr_willis> For example, if you want everybody to be able to read, write, and execute every file in your /mnt/c, you should specify the mask 0000:
[10:14] <Dr_willis> /dev/hda1   /mnt/vfat   vfat   umask=0000    0 0

[10:15] <Kae> Should I just ask my question or take a number?
[10:15] <nickrud> allorder: you need to reload the iptable commands at restart; you can use iptables-save and iptables restore in a script
[10:15] <allorder> hi everyone, I did:  sudo iptables -P INPUT DROP after reboot setting is back to default: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)  what should I do ?
[10:15] <scguy318> Kae: ask your question, doesn't hurt
[10:15] <Kae> Thanks.
[10:15] <scguy318> jacob_: what radio tuner card have you got?
[10:15] <nickrud> *iptables-restore
[10:15] <sasa> Evanlec: how I just downloaded this ntfs application, how do I start it?
[10:15] <allorder> nickrud: how ?
[10:16] <sasa> I can't see it in any of the menus?
[10:16] <Yuzzy> Is Xubuntu supposed to be slwer than XP?
[10:16] <Phydoux> Kae, Ask
[10:16] <scguy318> Yuzzy: no, how much mem do you have?
[10:16] <jacob_> scguy318, i don't know if i even have one, i didn't think i need a tuner card for that, something that i  never heard about
[10:16] <tioan> hi
[10:16] <Yuzzy> 512 meg of ram
[10:16] <tioan> did, suspend2ram or disk works with / on lvm ?
[10:16] <scguy318> jacob_: oh, Gnomeradio == listen to broadcast radio from a tuner card
[10:16] <Ashfire908> how do i bridge two internet connections so the computer acts like a gateway?
[10:16] <scguy318> jacob_: if you mean Internet radio
[10:17] <scguy318> jacob_: counless media players can do that
[10:17] <nickrud> allorder: you'd write a script that uses those commands, add it to /etc/init.d/ , and run sudo update-rc.d <scriptname> defaults to have it run on startup. See /etc/init.d/screen for a template
[10:17] <jacob_> scguy318 i don't know what your talking about
[10:17] <allorder> nickrud: k thx
[10:17] <Yuzzy> scguy: but xubuntu is installed on another drive... a slave ... can this slow down xubuntu?
[10:17] <nickrud> allorder: it'd be simpler to use firestarter to set that; it's script is automatically run at each boot
[10:18] <scguy318> jacob_: Gnomeradio uses v4l to talk to your radio tuner card so you can listen to local radio stations
[10:18] <scguy318> jacob_: however, Gnomeradio doesn't do Internet radio, that is, Internet audio servers
[10:18] <Kae> I'm trying to dual boot with Windows XP SP2 and Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit edition. I have Windows installed already and I'm trying to install Ubuntu now. When I get to the partition screen in Ubuntu it tells me that there is nothing on the hdd except for free space and it tries to create a new partition table. I want to keep my current partition configuration though. Is there a bug in the software or is there a work around for this? Thank you.
[10:18] <scguy318> jacob_: for Internet radio, you would use programs like Rhythmbox or w/e, VLC is my favorite
[10:18] <scguy318> Vuzzy: perhaps, how much mem do you have?
[10:19] <jacob_> scguy318 i do i use VLC as an internet radio
[10:19] <Yuzzy> scguy... 512 mb
[10:19] <scguy318> Yuzzy: more than enough for Xubuntu, im using a crappy 700 Mhz lappy with that much mem
[10:19] <scguy318> Yuzzy: what difficulties are you experiencing?
[10:19] <scguy318> jacob_: what do you wish to accomplish?
[10:19] <nickrud> Kae: try booting the live cd and using cfdisk to create the partition, then tell the installer to use that partition
[10:20] <Jowi> ruben, you might need "mpegdemux". if the mpeg contain several streams you might need to extract the one you want from it. I've never done anything like that myself so I can't help you on how to do it...
[10:20] <Yuzzy> everything is slow... opening a new app, dragging a window...typing in this chat even
[10:20] <allorder> nickrud: I used firestarter but packet are only drop when i run firestarter my self
[10:20] <Nutubuntu> Kae, IDK what's going on with the 64 bit edition, but why use it? it has limitations vs. the 32bit edition and the performance difference is not significant, so I've been told
[10:20] <scguy318> Yuzzy: if you run top in Terminal, any processes that are significatly taking CPU time?
[10:20] <sasa> hello all. I have three partitions on my computer. One is windows, second is ununtu, third is just swap fat32 space. I have 6 gigs of unallocated space that I would like to consume by adding it to my windows partition. Can someone explain the easiest way to do this (I assume using gparted off of live cd)? Thank you for your help in advance
[10:20] <jacob_> i'm new to this stuff, so i'm assuming that i can use the laptop as an FM radio to access different radio stations (live)
[10:20] <harveyneon> my old ntfs windows (broken xp) partition is at the beginning of my hard drive.  it is bootable.  what can i do to reclaim the space from the partition without having to reinstall or damage the computer's ability to boot?
[10:20] <scguy318> jacob_: you need a tuner card to do that, if you dont already have one
[10:20] <Yuzzy> scguy..: what do you mean?
[10:21] <bobbyyu> Can someone please tell me what "job-hold-until-specified" means?
[10:21] <Dr_willis> sasa,  you want to move free space from the end of the hd, to the partition at the front of the hd?
[10:21] <Ashfire908> how do i bridge two internet connections so the computer acts like a gateway?
[10:21] <parent> I get a nvidia logo on the login screen and it stops there. Any help??
[10:21] <MattSmith> Dr_W: I set the permissions in fstab the way you wrote; still the mount point in the filesystem that I set is showing read only for the user.  wtf?
[10:21] <nickrud> allorder: strange, since firestarter's script is called at startup, and whenever the network device goes up or down; see /etc/init.d/firestarter and /etc/network/ip-up.d/
[10:21] <jacob_> scguy318, how can i tell if i have a tuner card or not?
[10:21] <scguy318> Yuzzy: open the Terminal, type top, Enter, what processes are taking up most CPU/mem?
[10:21] <Dr_willis> MattSmith,  you are using the shell for this? that gentoo wiki i pasted gave command line examples also.
[10:21] <scguy318> jacob_: you probably don't, i'm not wholly familiar with v4l but based on what I see with your lspci, I don't think you do
[10:21] <sasa> Dr_willis: YES
[10:22] <Dr_willis> MattSmith,  i would guess you are doing somthing trivially wrong and over looking the mistake.
[10:22] <MattSmith> I am using the shell and I missed the gentoo wiki.  Do you have a link for it?
[10:22] <uncle_grombor> sasa:  sudo qtparted in ubuntu.  This will allow you to actually change the partitions size, then just use the gui to change it.  Remember to actually commit the changes before closing.
[10:22] <Dr_willis> sasa,  id think you have to delete the stuff on the end.. shift/move the middle over to the end, thus freeing up the space in the middle of the drive. then resize the first partition to make use of it..
[10:22] <TheZanke> Whats the best linux program to write code with? Just gedit?
[10:22] <Yuzzy> scguy... where would be the terminal in Xubuntu?

[10:23] <Yuzzy> ohh got it!!

[10:23] <sasa> dr_willis: 3 hours! I hope it doesn't take that long:)
[10:23] <scguy318> jacob_: i do not know, I don't use Rhythmbox
[10:23] <Yuzzy> scguy..: Root takes up to 30%
[10:23] <nickrud> TheZanke: depends on taste and needs:  phpedit, emacs, vim, eclipse, are just a few
[10:23] <jacob_> scguy318: ok scguy318, thanks for your help
[10:23] <Dr_willis> sasa,  laptop = 2 gb ram, 5400 speed hd, 20gb moveing around.. 1.6 ghz cpu.. so.. :) it may depend.
[10:24] <scguy318> jacob_: np
[10:24] <Dr_willis> sasa,  i would advise BACKING up stuff first.

[10:25] <scguy318> Yuzzy: if you shut down gaim, any better?
[10:25] <bXi> the buttons in the taskbar in gnome arent filling the space it got
[10:25] <Dr_willis> parent,  that nvidia logo should flash on/off real fast then get to the real login screen.. I cant help with envy sorry. What video card you have exactly?
[10:25] <scguy318> Yuzzy: and is Firefox open
[10:25] <scguy318> ?
[10:25] <sasa> uncle grombor: I tried running "sudo qtparted" in terminal and nothing is answering
[10:25] <sasa> did you mean sudo gparted?
[10:25] <sasa> does this only work when booted off of live cd?
[10:25] <Dr_willis> sasa,  you want to use the parted tools from a live cd normally.
[10:25] <parent> Dr_willis, NX7900GS
[10:26] <scguy318> sasa: gksudo gparted
[10:26] <scguy318> sasa: gksudo for GUI apps
[10:26] <Dr_willis> you do NOT want to do parted tools on a running system. :)
[10:26] <Dr_willis> well unless its on a unmounted drive.
[10:26] <HyperCity> SEJeff: no gdesklets, the desklets package , i have a desklet that refreshes 10 sec, i,vd set up the refrash to 1 sec and now it crashes, just want to return to defoult
[10:26] <uncle_grombor> do you have an Icon for qtparted.  I've never actually used gparted.  I mostly have done it with knoppix, but receantly did it from 7.04
[10:26] <sasa> scguy318: ok, thank you
[10:26] <parent> Dr_willis, I never tried envy before either, it usually just automatically dl the driver I need but I got alot of crashes and some guy in quakenet told me to uninstall all drivers and install through envy

[10:27] <Dr_willis> sasa,  not really. Its rather low end. :) was $500 a year+ ago.. i added the ram.
[10:28] <IAmMe1> Can anyone help me figure out how to get my machine to recognize my external hard drive?
[10:28] <Dr_willis> sasa,  you can get 2x the laptop now for $500
[10:28] <kitche> soccermike1337, install xp reinstall grub :)
[10:28] <scguy318> soccermike1337: takes a bit more work
[10:28] <soccermike1337> is it hard to reinstall grub?
[10:28] <nickrud> allorder: typo: /etc/network/if-up.d/
[10:28] <scguy318> soccermike1337: GRUB is easy enough, but u have to tweak menu.1st for the XP entry I think
[10:28] <soccermike1337> oh
[10:28] <soccermike1337> :-/
[10:28] <robert__> how do i resolve "dpkg was interrupted, you must manuall run 'dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem:?
[10:29] <sasa> dr willis: that's very cheap: where could you get a laptop that cheap? I got my dell inspiron 5100 (2.6ghz P4 with 512mb ram and 40gb hard dr for like $1600+ three years ago
[10:29] <scguy318> soccermike1337: there should be a Ubuntu Wiki article on installing XP after Ubuntu
[10:29] <usser> robert__: its just what it is run dpkg --configure -a
[10:29] <soccermike1337> oh ok
[10:29] <scguy318> robert__: as root
[10:29] <robert__> won't let me
[10:29] <soccermike1337> ok, next question: does anyone know how to slipstream drivers onto an XP disc?
[10:29] <scguy318> robert__: prefix that with sudo
[10:29] <usser> robert__: did u sudo it?
[10:29] <robert__> i tried
[10:29] <scguy318> soccermike1337: nLite
[10:29] <parent> Dr_willis, ok so how should I get it to work? I can uninstall the current driver I have now with envy but how do I dl another one?
[10:29] <robert__> sudo apt-get
[10:29] <uncle_grombor> What's up with sudo and why can't I have total root access?
[10:29] <scguy318> !sudo
[10:29] <parent> Jowi, the logo isn't problem, it's just that it freezes there
[10:29] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:29] <usser> robert__: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[10:29] <nickrud> allorder: also, you might like shorewall if you're having issues with firestarter
[10:29] <bullgard4> A memory dump starts with ""CPU 0: Hot: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 Cold: hi:0, btch: 1 usd: 0" What do these abbreviations mean? (see http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/14722/)
[10:29] <scguy318> uncle_grombar: it's NOT a good idea to have root privileges, you WILL screw something up if you're root all the imte
[10:29] <Jowi> parent, oh
[10:30] <bobbyyu> Does anyone know what "job-hold-until-specified" means?
[10:30] <allorder> nickrud: what should i do in /etc/network/if-up.d/
[10:30] <Evanlec> soccermike1337, yes check out nLite its free
[10:30] <Jowi> !sudo | uncle_grombor
[10:30] <sweetestlove> does anyone know how to figure out which version of ubuntu you have?
[10:30] <ubotu> uncle_grombor: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:30] <nickrud> allorder: that was just to point out that firestarter's iptable statements get called when the interface goes up
[10:30] <uncle_grombor> Didn't want it for all the time.  Just something like Username:root pswd:*****.  I understand what sudo is, I just don't like it! :-P
[10:30] <sasa> do i have to unmount the partition I am trying to expand before adding unallocated space to it? is there a way I would need to unmount unallocated space?
[10:31] <scguy318> sasa: yes
[10:31] <Dr_willis> sasa,  when using the parted tools. the whole Drive must all be Unmounted.
[10:31] <nickrud> TheZanke: got sidetracked: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors
[10:31] <Aminux> does anyone know of any equalizer that works with xine player?
[10:31] <Dr_willis> sasa,  not just the partitions you are working on. :) to be safest
[10:31] <Nighthawk420> hey yall
[10:31] <sasa> ok guys, thank you, I'm gonna give it a whirl
[10:31] <scguy318> uncle_grombor: you can sudo -s, then set passwd for root
[10:32] <robert__> now add/remove programs is just freezing when i try to uninstall adept manager
[10:32] <Nighthawk420> o wait i gotta go get a new half-terrabyte external
[10:32] <Nighthawk420> bbl
[10:32] <scguy318> uncle_grombor: then you can su I believe for root acces
[10:32] <dappermuis> sasa, i never saw the beginning of the conversation, but if you're messing with partitions your best option would be to use gparted
[10:32] <sasa> if you don't hear from me soon, it means I completely distroyed my data and am in a severe state of shock
[10:32] <sasa> :)
[10:32] <Dr_willis> sasa,  this is why backups are good things.
[10:32] <yakov> hello
[10:32] <astro76> scguy318, that's what sudo -s does, give a root shell, so why set a root password?
[10:32] <scguy318> astro76: he wants a root account that he can login to
[10:32] <Dr_willis> sasa,  i tend to use the gparted live cd. for all my parting needs.
[10:32] <uncle_grombor> Hmm, I did that, but I never tried su.  Lets see. :-)
[10:32] <sasa> dr willis: haha, I do have most of the stuff on an external hd
[10:33] <sasa> Dr_willis: yes, I am booting off of live cd and am going to run gparted
[10:33] <Jowi> uncle_grombor, either use "sudo -i" to get a root shell.
[10:33] <sasa> wish me luck
[10:33] <Jowi> s/either//
[10:33] <allorder> nickrud: should i delete firestarter before installing shorewall ?
[10:33] <bullgard4> A memory dump obtains: "9 pages dirty" (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/14722/). What does this mean?
[10:33] <scguy318> uncle_grombor: sudo is preferred but if you really want to be able to login as root, then w/e floats your boat
[10:33] <uncle_grombor> COOL.  It worked.
[10:34] <parent> !driver
[10:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about driver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:34] <Nutubuntu> uncle_grombor, that page has a lot of information and is worth reading even if you have resolved your presenting problem
[10:34] <nickrud> allorder: yes, that way they won't interfere with each other's iptable settings. shorewall has a default config in /usr/share/doc/shorewall that does what you want
[10:34] <parent> !nvidia

[10:34] <Aminux> anybody know of a equalizer for movie player?

[10:35] <cyberjames> !tar | cyberjames
[10:35] <nickrud> allorder: and one other thing: shorewalls' in the main repo, firestarter in the universe. May not matter much, but main gets all the official canonical support
[10:35] <scguy318> n-iCe: you using ndiswrapper or a native driver?
[10:35] <rukie> Hey guys, I've got a broadcom card. Is this supported under ubuntu now or no?
[10:35] <uncle_grombor> How do I mount a drive that I cannot find?
[10:35] <n-iCe> scguy318 is console, nothign graphical
[10:35] <scguy318> rukie: the native driver MAY work, but if not, ndiswrapper
[10:35] <Jowi> Aminux, don't think there is one. you can with mplayer though.
[10:35] <Ashfire908> how do i bridge two internet connections so the computer acts like a gateway?
[10:35] <nickrud> rukie: yes
[10:35] <robert__> when i try to uninstall adept manager the add/remove applications freezes
[10:35] <rukie> uncle_grombor, is it a physical driver or no?
[10:35] <cyberjames> !unzip | cyberjames
[10:35] <scguy318> n-iCe: but are you using the native driver or ndiswrapper?
[10:36] <rukie> physical driver*
[10:36] <rukie> drive*
[10:36] <uncle_grombor> Yes, its a dvd drive
[10:36] <n-iCe> scguy318 no idea, i guess native driver
[10:36] <uncle_grombor> internal
[10:36] <Aminux> Jowi: thanks
[10:36] <PKdoR> do I have to install RAID 0 Driver for a ubuntu instal;l?
[10:36] <scguy318> n-iCe: in that case, whatver card you're using, the native driver should be loaded on start
[10:36] <Nutubuntu> uncle_grombor, is there a dvd (or cd) in the drive at the moment?
[10:36] <rukie> SATA or IDE dvd drive?
[10:36] <tatters> anyone know of a live cd that has partimage compiled with the login option?
[10:36] <nickrud> PKdoR: no
[10:36] <n-iCe> scguy318 is usb wireless adapter, and it doesn't
[10:36] <PKdoR> satas on and nforce 590 mobo
[10:36] <uncle_grombor> Yes.  Neverwinter Nights Diamond edition.

[10:38] <PKdoR> when it gets to the partitioning part
[10:38] <scguy318> benjamin1254: can you pastebin the error?
[10:38] <rukie> do an ls /dev/cd* or an ls /dev/sr*

[10:39] <astro76> !defrag | Skyfalcon866
[10:39] <ubotu> Skyfalcon866: defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.
[10:39] <scguy318> jacob_: sure, wut desktop are you using
[10:39] <parent> how do I run the Restricted Devices Manager from Terminal?
[10:39] <Gosha> What alternative to notepad++ is there in *nix?

[10:39] <astro76> Skyfalcon866, I'm sure it's the same with JFS

[10:40] <PKdoR> can any body point on the right direction please
[10:40] <jacob_> scguy318 i'm trying to make firestarter run at start iup
[10:40] <scguy318> Ashfire908: im guessing bridge-utils
[10:40] <uncle_grombor> ruki,  Did both and said no such file or directory.
[10:40] <scguy318> jacob_: you dont need to
[10:40] <scguy318> jacob_: iptables is loaded on startup, Firestarter is just the GUI
[10:40] <yakov> kitche, maybe you know how can i check if my laptop bluetooth adapter is turned on
[10:40] <Ashfire908> !info bridge-utils > Ashfire908
[10:40] <sasa> dr willis: you there?
[10:40] <jacob_> scguy318 can you explain?
[10:40] <colercoaster> wow, loads of people in here.
[10:40] <Skyfalcon866> is reiserfs journaled
[10:41] <Nutubuntu> Skyfalcon866, not to get into a FS holywar but wouldn't any journaling FS have a usage issue? or looked at the other way, vs eachother, no issue?
[10:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !firewall
[10:41] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[10:41] <yakov> seems like it's off.. though as i said i've restarted /et..bluetooth :/

[10:41] <davy> hello, does anyone knows the command to start the alsa server?
[10:41] <daylighter> does anyone know why when I ctrl-F7 or whatnot instead of a terminal screen I see garbled characters?
[10:41] <kitche> yakov, the light should be on for it
[10:41] <Dr_willis> sasa,  Hmmmmmmmmm?
[10:41] <scguy318> davy: ALSA should load on startup, wuts up
[10:41] <davy> yeah, but jack won't connect to it
[10:41] <yakov> kitche, kiddin' ;) macbook has no LEDs for this :)
[10:41] <Dr_willis> daylighter,  you mean the 'consoles' alt-ctrl-F1 through F6 are garbled?
[10:41] <scguy318> n-iCe: lol, silly me, pastebin the output of lsusb, i forgot you have a USB device
[10:41] <yakov> uh oh..  I just want it to work :)
[10:41] <Skyfalcon866> Nutubuntu: Ext3 used 6Gb when i formatted and JFS uses 54Mb after format
[10:41] <scguy318> n-iCe: sry for inconveinence
[10:42] <daylighter> yes Dr_willis
[10:42] <kitche> yakov, then look up macbooks but all laptops have leds for bluetooth
[10:42] <jacob_> scguy318: i'm i firewalled if i don't have firestarter?
[10:42] <benjamin1254> i am having an issue with apt-get it wont let me install anything ... i go like sudo apt-get update and it wont do anything it just sends me to another bash promt for another command like it dident recognise it or nothing is there
[10:42] <yakov> i dont want to spend whole day figuring our how to pair mouse :)) i want to do REAL work :)
[10:42] <kitche> yakov, the led might be in the OS instead
[10:42] <n-iCe> scguy318 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36945/
[10:42] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob_: yes
[10:42] <scguy318> jacob_: yes, Firestarter just lets you configure the firewal
