[12:48] <LoneWolfUK> does anyone know how to get dual screens working in gusty so they act like separate screens? I want to watch movies on my TV from my Ubuntu laptop. I have used nvidia-settings but cannot set it to they act like separate screens... If I maximize a movie, it opens across both screens and looks stretched...
[12:48] <LoneWolfUK> I have an nvidia card
[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> cleaton: If it was that simple they would...  But apparently that fix does not work for everyone and until it does or there is a change in opinions it stays out
[12:48] <cleaton> ok
[12:48] <ciazzz> I have to emulate a network of wireless sensors  both HW, SW and network  and I don't know if this vmware is used to emulate this network or if is necessary to make this work only a single pc with a linux distribuition
[12:49] <Jack_Sparrow> cleaton: The other problem will be if you use one of those deb's that you will or may have aproblem during an update or a future upgrade
[12:49] <LoneWolfUK> Or could someone please look at my thread on the Ubuntu forums, nobody has answered :( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4105732#post4105732   I can't setup dual screens correctly :(
[12:50] <generalsnus> Jack_Sparrow: ow..ok,  where do i put in sdb1 here then? i need to have my samba shares on that disk
[12:50] <cleaton> Jack_Sparrow, that's a risk i'm willing to take :P flash is kinda important, at least for me
[12:50] <stewartm82> my awn-navigator is installed yet the package manager says its uninstalled. how do i get rid of it so i can reinstall again?

[12:51] <Jack_Sparrow> generalsnus: for a test.. create a folder on dsb1 called data then run the command
[12:51] <LoneWolfUK> thanks
[12:51] <Jack_Sparrow> generalsnus: I was given that command recently and it worked for a similar problem on an added drive..
[12:51] <Jack_Sparrow> generalsnus: three parts: the first creates a directory with your username, the second makes it owned by that same user, and the third one gives you read, write and 'cd-into' rights for that new directory

[13:00] <generalsnus> Well what is the command to give w/r acces to this disk i have? seems only root can do it
[13:00] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo
[13:00] <generalsnus> sudo, and then?
[13:00] <ikonia> generalsnus: well chown will change the owner / group, chmod will change the permissions for those users/groups
[13:00] <Jack_Sparrow> generalsnus: you mean chmod ?
[13:00] <mark2007> are there any work-arounds for irqpolling?
[13:01] <A_I_> Hello, I have a file "/etc/inputrc" but I can't find which packages provides it
[13:01] <ikonia> mark2007: there are a few kernel boot options to attem[t to make ircpolliing usable for problem boards
[13:01] <generalsnus> lets say chmod.. is it chmod 775..or somthing?
[13:01] <Jack_Sparrow> generalsnus: Those commands are all in the string I gave earlier if you need examples
[13:01] <ikonia> generalsnus: thats full permissions to user group and read execute to anyone else
[13:01] <mark2007> ikonia, irqpolling is making the laptop run far too slowly, is there another way to do the same thing?
[13:02] <j2dope> hi all. just upgraded to the latest vers. of ubuntu
[13:02] <ikonia> mark2007: there are options like irqpoll=off or noirqpoll (examples only) I don't know the kernel boot options off the top of my head for irqpoling
[13:02] <generalsnus> yeah, but string didnt work
[13:02] <j2dope> pidgin is telling me I don't have the correct SSL installed. any help pls?
[13:02] <ikonia> j2dope: how did you install pidin
[13:03] <j2dope> umm. previously I had compiled from source.. but when i upgraded to the latest OS, it was already there for me, and had removed the old Gaim
[13:03] <mark2007> ikonia, no the problem is that i've had to turn irqpoll on to make the wireless adapter work
[13:03] <ikonia> mark2007: ahhh then you may be screwed

[13:11] <kripken> hi, I can't login to GNOME anymore, after I type my password I just get a blank screen and nothing happens. I can login fine to Xfce, which is what I'm using to write this... what can I do to figure out the problem with GNOME?
[13:14] <NET||abuse> Hi all, been downloading some things off thepiratebay, *of course nothing copyrighted* and they're 356MB zip files which are contains a big collection of rar files, and they link together to unzip the one big file.. but when i try to unrar now with 2 seperate files, fileroller asks for a password, i am just testing the same files on my xp box with winrar, and it unrar'd without requesting a password,, what gives with fileroller?
[13:14] <ikonia> NET||abuse: the piratebay has an interesting name for nothing pirated
[13:15] <NET||abuse> ikonia, that's my disclaimer :)
[13:15] <carrera> Greetings! :)
[13:15] <ikonia> NET||abuse: I don't think we should assist with your question.
[13:15] <WooD> ls
[13:15] <WooD> oupss
[13:15] <A_I_> does really noone know where /etc/inputrc comes from ?
[13:16] <ikonia> A_I_: what do you mean comes from ?
[13:16] <dusty-sts> Pici, ?
[13:16] <ifoo> # /etc/inputrc - global inputrc for libreadline
[13:16] <ifoo> # See readline(3readline) and `info rluserman' for more information.
[13:16] <NET||abuse> ikonia, well there is a behaviour on fileroller with some rar files that winrar is not exhibiting? surely that's the crux of my question.
[13:16] <Pici> dusty-sts: Sorry, thinking.
[13:16] <dusty-sts> ok
[13:16] <A_I_> ikonia : dpkg -S /etc/inputrc
[13:16] <A_I_> dpkg : /etc/inputrc not found
[13:16] <ikonia> NET||abuse: I don't believe it appropriate to respond.
[13:16] <ikonia> A_I_: ooh you mean what package
[13:16] <Pici> NET||abuse: you need the non-free version of rar
[13:17] <A_I_> yes
[13:17] <ikonia> A_I_: it will either be something like bash-utils or glib
[13:17] <ifoo> A_I_: libreadline
[13:17] <A_I_> but why isn't it marked as provided by a package then
[13:17] <A_I_> ifoo I get nothing with dpkg -S
[13:18] <ericrost> has anyone had issues with server upgrades feisty->gutsy borking wordpress?
[13:18] <NET||abuse> ikonia, seems my unscrupulous nature caused my X session to crash..
[13:19] <ericrost> I have a working wordpress server (dropped back to vmware snapshot) that I just can't get wordpress to work when I UPDATE
[13:19] <ericrost> upgrade rather
[13:19] <ikonia> ericrost what is the error
[13:19] <ericrost> I get a 404 file not found on the config
[13:19] <NET||abuse> ikonia, well fair enough, i respect you want to adhere to your moral stance on that area :)
[13:19] <ericrost> and it changes the config file name its looking for
[13:19] <ericrost> wp is generating the error, not ubuntu
[13:19] <ifoo> A_I_: right, same here. but according to my /etc/inputrc file its part of libreadline ..
[13:19] <dusty-sts> Pici, i'm trying --fix-broken :)
[13:20] <enterneo> I am unable to ping the gateway, I am getting "Destination Host Unreachable"
[13:20] <ikonia> ericrost and your using the wordpress package from the ubuntu repo's
[13:20] <ericrost> yes, on both ends
[13:20] <ericrost> pre and post upgrade
[13:20] <ericrost> I have it snapshotted back to the working feisty and am looking for advice before I reupgrade for the third time
[13:20] <ikonia> ericrost: I'm just looking through launchpad and don't see it as a bug, maybe worth logging
[13:21] <ericrost> I'm worried that I didn't set it up in the "debian" way and maybe that is the issue?
[13:21] <ericrost> is there a good guide to fixing a working install to the "debian" config?
[13:21] <ikonia> ericrost: what do you mean ?
[13:21] <dusty-sts> Pici, a purge and reinstall of apache common package fixed it.
[13:21] <ikonia> ericrost: how did you configure it ?
[13:21] <ericrost> doesn't the deb package handle the configs differently from the "5 minute install"?
[13:21] <PLSshowyourhelp> when i maximum the window ,it's black,why?
[13:21] <ikonia> ericrost: some packages are configured by dpkg, others not
[13:21] <kavok> Is there a GUI way to mount windows network shares?
[13:22] <ericrost> hmm, let me pull up a shell on the server and look... I think I remember something weird happening when I was config'ing
[13:22] <ericrost> ikonia: in /etc/wordpress/  I have only htaccess and wp-config.php
[13:22] <Exilant> kavok: afaik you could enter them in etc/fstab and kde would eventually show them
[13:23] <ikonia> ericrost: is that a problem ?
[13:23] <ericrost> in /var/www I have symlinked /blog to /usr/share/wordpress
[13:23] <ericrost> after the upgrade it wants wp-config-mybabylon.homelinux.org
[13:23] <ericrost> .php
[13:23] <ikonia> ericrost: I don't see that as an issue
[13:23] <kripken> I can't even login to GNOME in safe mode... is there a log file of GNOME errors I can look at?
[13:23] <ericrost> in /etc/wordpress
[13:23] <ikonia> ericrost: change it in /etc/wordpress
[13:24] <ericrost> I wonder if I borked which file I symlinked
[13:24] <ikonia> ericrost: looks your your ocnfig is just been broken by the upgrade
[13:24] <dgjones> PLSshowyourhelp, which window? are you using compiz/beryl, there can be a problem with beryl/compiz if the graphics card is short on memory that causes that problem  - maybe thats the problem
[13:24] <ikonia> ericrost: it could be something to do with how gusty manages mulitple wordpress sites
[13:24] <ikonia> ericrost: eg: $domains_name.wp-config
[13:24] <ericrost> should the file its looking for be identical to the old wp-config?
[13:24] <ikonia> ericrost: look in the config
[13:25] <ikonia> ericrost: the wordpress versions have been upgraded
[13:25] <ericrost> and its config-domain.name.php
[13:25] <ikonia> ericrost: there could be differences
[13:25] <ericrost> that  it's looking for I believe, but I get your drift
[13:25] <ericrost> ok.. I'll backup the dir to another name before the upgrade. I still have the snapshot
[13:26] <ericrost> should I bother with the /usr/share/wordpress? I don't believe I've changed any of those files
[13:26] <stmartin> how to play subtitle (.sub file) in movie player?
[13:26] <ikonia> ericrost: I think it should change those files if the version has been updated
[13:27] <kavok> Exilant: thats not exactly gui based lol
[13:27] <XBehave> wtf i just crashed while formating my home (i made a mistake at cli) and all my files are fine
[13:27] <ericrost> ikonia: ok, here's something fishy, I changed the wp-config in /usr/share/wordpress
[13:28] <XBehave> if i run mke2fs.ext3 <drive> on an ext2 drive do i lose my data?
[13:28] <ikonia> XBehave: yes
[13:28] <ericrost> but it doesn't seem to be using the /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php because if it is, there's a file missing that its looking for
[13:29] <XBehave> is there a non distructive way of creating a journal on an ext2 partition
[13:29] <ikonia> ericrost: I think there is just a version conflict, not all packages bhave the same in between upgrades, etc apache and apache2
[13:29] <ericrost> yes, but I'm looking right now at the pre-upgrade server
[13:29] <ikonia> ericrost: if wordpress has gone from say 2 to 2.2 there could be changes when not using the wordpress upgrade tool
[13:29] <ericrost> ikonia: I'm trying to figure out what those changes are, so I can upgrade
[13:30] <Exilant> kavok: well, the actual way of mounting is
[13:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ikonia: What if he manually upgraded wordpress before he did the ubuntu updates, would that work
[13:31] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: doubt it as ubuntu lays out wordpress different, but possibly
[13:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ikonia: I am reading along trying to learn from this myself.. didnt mean to intrude
[13:32] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: don't be silly no intrusion, it's a good call that may work, I can't see it working, but it may
[13:32] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: if the layout was the same then yes, the databse upgrades would almost certainly be fine

[13:34] <Malinthe> Jack_Sparrow: I tried, but I get an error message
[13:34] <ericrost> ikonia: does wp on ubuntu look @ wp-config.php in /usr/share/wordpress first? I don't have multiple domains, and in my working 2.1.3 config, the "debian" file in /etc/wordpress already looks like its looking for the multi-domain file

[13:35] <ericrost> ikonia: ok, I'll give this another shot with some intelliegent files backed up
[13:36] <ericrost> ikonia: I would have as well, but reading the script there, it shouldn't work without a config-domain.name.php in /etc/wordpress which I don't have, but its working

[13:38] <PLSshowyourhelp> dgjones->ye,u are right. thanks
[13:39] <Tu13es> how do I get rid of the username@whatever: in the terminal?
[13:39] <Tu13es> it's a default gutsy terminal
[13:39] <ericrost> anyone know how hard openvpn is to get working? or has anyone used ebox? I'm thinking about messing with that once I get this server upgrade over with (I thought this server upgrade was only going to take an hour or so, but it took all evening last night with the end result being dropping back to a snapshot :()
[13:39] <Tu13es> I'm looking in .bashrc but not sure what to change
[13:39] <Pici> Tu13es: you'll need to modify the evironment variables PS1 and PS2 iirc.
[13:39] <dgjones> PLSshowyourhelp, no probs, glad it answered your question
[13:40] <linux4me> how easy is it to get a jabber server running on a LAN using Ubuntu 7.10?
[13:40] <dexem> ericrost: openvpn is easy with ebox, but ebox ubuntu packages are going to be released soon... not yet
[13:40] <Tu13es> Pici: what am I modifying? it all looks like jargon
[13:40] <linux4me> the clients are all running windows xp
[13:40] <aram> help for that please :command for check if serial port are installed please?
[13:40] <ericrost> dexem: they're in synaptic
[13:40] <Pici> Tu13es: Thats the code that generates the user@machine:directory stuff
[13:40] <viking> quick question. Inside a terminal window I want to change to my windows partition directory (sdb1) how do I do that?
[13:40] <dexem> ericrost: which version?
[13:40] <ericrost> 0.9.3
[13:41] <ericrost> should i avoid those?
[13:41] <dexem> ericrost: soon to be released 0.11.99 I think :)
[13:41] <ericrost> cool, I'll wait until those hit then
[13:41] <dexem> linux4me: ebox can be configured as a LAN jabber server, but ebox-jabber packages are not ready by now
[13:41] <ericrost> I want to get experience with it anyhow, because I'm trying to convince my dad to save his customers some money
[13:42] <Tu13es> Pici: I saw a username@machine line that I got rid of, but it wasn't in PS1 and it just changed the titlebar :P
[13:42] <Pici> Tu13es: I'd have to google to figure out what exactly it means too, but at least you have somethign to go on
[13:42] <viking> How when in the terminal window, do I change to some of the directories in my windows partition (sdb1)?
[13:42] <Tu13es> Pici: cool, thanks
[13:42] <ericrost> since its a good drop in for a windows domain controller for a SMB
[13:42] <Flynsarmy> I'm new to ubuntu. When trying to install msttcorefonts it came upw ith a blue screen saying if im running X i have to install some other package. Am i using X? I'm on a freshly installed copy of gutsy
[13:42] <erawfish> "cd"
[13:42] <ericrost> I'm close to 30, but I still help him w/his business when things get dicey
[13:42] <pike_> Tu13es: my .bashrc line is like export PS1="[\d \t] \[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[0m\]$ "
[13:43] <nemo> So, I suddenly had to do: ias/j2ee/home$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/bin/java -jar oc4j.jar
[13:43] <dexem> ericrost: ebox people is at #ebox, if you have problems with it
[13:43] <Tu13es> ah, I found it
[13:43] <vor> Hi! I have an all-in-one, iptables-FW web mail, server with one nic. what is the risk, or why must FW have 2 nic's?
[13:43] <viking> Flynsarmy: does your desktop have windows and task bars? if so you are running X more than likely
[13:43] <nemo> which was really annoying since I thought it was related to a recent crash
[13:43] <Tu13es> Pici: it was like, \u@\h
[13:43] <th0r> viking your windows partition should be mounted in a folder someplace...usually /windows or /media. You can find out where by opening a terminal and typing 'mount'
[13:43] <nemo> Can anyone here tell me how to switch my default JVM back to sun's java 6?
[13:43] <Flynsarmy> viking: OK thanks
[13:43] <ericrost> dexem: have you used it much? I was wondering how well it works?
[13:43] <viking> thanks th0r
[13:43] <Pici> nemo: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[13:43] <ericrost> dexem: seems like its based on decent apps
[13:43] <nemo> Pici: sweet. thanks.
[13:44] <savasv> hi everybody.... Does anyone know any solution to the battery capacity wrong notification problem?
[13:44] <dexem> well... I made ebox-jabber... and I was in the development team one year ago :)
[13:44] <dexem> probably my opinion is a bit biased ;)
[13:44] <nemo> Pici: that worked beautifully. now if only I hadn't spent over an hour trying to figure out what config got corrupted to cause iAS to go into an infinite loop on startup :-/
[13:45] <savasv> hi everybody.... Does anyone know any solution to the battery capacity wrong notification problem?
[13:45] <ericrost> dexem: true. cool to run across someone from teh dev team, though. I'm going to be getting my master's in CS soon and start contributing, but my first priority is kmymoney plugins
[13:45] <ericrost> my undergrad is in Mech Eng
[13:45] <dexem> nice :)
[13:45] <Spzatt> Hi, i am wondering how do i install gnome themes on ubuntu 7.10?
[13:45] <viking> yes my windows is mounted as sdb1 but I don't know how to get into it via a terminal window. I want to run an app in there with wine with a -opengl arg
[13:46] <pike_> !themes | Spzatt
[13:46] <ubotu> Spzatt: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[13:46] <viking> th0r: forgot to tag that for you.
[13:46] <ericrost> kmymoney needs a report generator that will do balance forecasts based on scheduled transactions without diryting the register with them
[13:46] <pike_> Spzatt: /msg ubotu changethemes
[13:46] <Spzatt> pike_ it doesnt say anything about installing themes
[13:46] <th0r> viking no...the device is sdb1, but it should be mounted to a folder...like maybe /media/C or something like that
[13:46] <enterneo> I am unable to ping the gateway
[13:46] <ericrost> (I have incentive to get that done since my wife is bitching incessantly about it)
[13:46] <Pici> !changetheme > Spzatt (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[13:46] <viking> th0r: oh ok. sorry, let me check on that
[13:46] <savasv> ok thanks...
[13:47] <th0r>  viking once you determine the mount point you cd to it just like any other folder.
[13:47] <ericrost> but alas, that's why OSS is better than proprietary, because none of the proprietary solutions even work well on the basics, much less their reports :)
[13:47] <viking> th0r: ok, thanks. Just a min
[13:47] <pike_> Spzatt:  many years ago i went to the faq on http://art.gnome.org  it is what helped me out to change my themes first time
[13:47] <dexem> ericrost: haha, It's nice to see people who wants to contribute... whichever the project they choose :)
[13:47] <enterneo> I am getting "Destination Host Unreachable" when ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:47] <viking> found it, it was /media/sdb1 Thanks th0r
[13:47] <ericrost> dexem: my eventual goal is to start an F/LOSS embedded motion control framework
[13:48] <th0r> viking  ok...'cd /media/sdb1'
[13:48] <Spzatt> pike_ : thanks it worked
[13:48] <Spzatt> pike_ : I got another question, is there any way i can make ubuntu look like windows vista / xp?
[13:48] <ericrost> but I need VC for a project like that, so I need to start by just getting an OSS rep by doing some decent dev work, methinks
[13:48] <viking> th0r: yup, that worked. Thanks again :)

[13:48] <ubotu> ericrost: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[13:48] <pike_> Spzatt: im sure there may be a theme for that ive never looked into it though
[13:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Spzatt: Go to gnome-look.org for that kind of thing
[13:49] <Flynsarmy> Pici: I installed that package you mentioned but it told me i should install a package i already had installed. Do i need to do anything else once msttcorefonts is installed?
[13:49] <ericrost> Pici: thx
[13:49] <Spzatt> pike_ : are those just called "Themes" or something else? (Like GTK themes or?)

[13:49] <Pici> Flynsarmy: Nope.
[13:49] <Pici> Flynsarmy: Perhaps relog though.
[13:49] <pike_> Spzatt: gtk themes or gdm themes for the login screen
[13:49] <Flynsarmy> Pici: Alrighty, thanks for your help
[13:50] <Spzatt> pike_ : I am not talking about the login screen, more about the bar down there (You know on XP, where Start is etc)
[13:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Flynsarmy: got a sec?
[13:50] <bullgard4> What is the reason for power_management.can_suspend_hybrid = false  (bool)? (see http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/27356/)
[13:50] <Flynsarmy> Jack_Sparrow: Yes
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Flynsarmy: Not sure what it was you said.. but I had to ask.. have you used scripts like automatix or envy to install anything.. both bad ideas..
[13:52] <Oli``> How do you change the password policy to allow shorter passwords?
[13:52] <Flynsarmy> Jack_Sparrow: Not this time around.
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Flynsarmy: So you have reinstalled since you last tried to use it?
[13:53] <Flynsarmy> Jack_Sparrow: Yes. reformatted a few hours ago. Didn't reinstall Automatix

[13:58] <The-Croupier> hey guys, could you help with a mirror to download ubuntu livecd? wanna try it. im at the ubuntu site but i cannot see any options about live cds... ( this might be stupid but ive never done that b4) :(
[13:59] <ikonia> The-Croupier livecd is the install cd

[13:59] <iamnewb> is inetd started as automatically everytime you boot your machine?
[13:59] <spee> how can i disable the login screen?
[13:59] <th0r> iamnewb yes it is
[13:59] <The-Croupier> thats y, so stupid ... sorry and thanks
[13:59] <spee> so that i can log in with bash and then load x windows
[13:59] <dgjones> !livecd > The-Croupier
[13:59] <ikonia> iamnewb: it is if it is installed and configured. I believe xinetd is ubuntu's choice though
[14:00] <The-Croupier> spee:>  check control center in kde
[14:00] <rich__> guys when i switch between hardwire and wireless, iptables tables no longer runs my rules, do i have to enables rules and then do iptables-save for each device?
[14:00] <th0r> spee ubuntu doesn't have a run level for starting without X
[14:00] <iamnewb> i tried locating xinetd but it's found in /usr/share/vim/vim71...
[14:01] <rich__> firestarter doesnt seem to autodetect
[14:01] <ikonia> rich__: you probably have an eth device defined in your rules
[14:01] <hikenboot> hello all...can anyone tell me where under /usr/share that application icons(pointers to the applications are stored)
[14:01] <ikonia> rich__: wired and non-wired = different devices in th eOS
[14:01] <iamnewb> how do i check to see if inetd is running?
[14:01] <ikonia> hikenboot: /usr/share/icons
[14:01] <ikonia> iamnewb: ps -ef | grep inetd
[14:01] <spee> th0r can i add one?
[14:01] <PLSshowyourhelp> I can't install ubuntu7.10 with liveCD , my computer is with amd64&ati.
[14:02] <ikonia> PLSshowyourhelp: try the alternative install cd, ati cards behave better with it
[14:02] <rich__> so how do you set it up in a way that it makes no difference which device your using for inbternet?
[14:02] <ikonia> rich__: you don't
[14:02] <th0r> spee no...(google linux run levels to understand...it is the boot process). I suspect there is a way to stop the login screen from running, but what yhou would be doing is causing X to crash and revert to the bash login...not a good practice
[14:02] <enterneo> I am unable to ping the gateway
[14:02] <ikonia> rich__: your only hope is to do it by address range rules, which I'm guessing will be the same if yoru wired/not wired
[14:02] <PLSshowyourhelp> ikonia: >okey, have a try.
[14:03] <Pici> spee: Just use update-rc.d to remove gdm, check out it's manpage

[14:03] <iamnewb> i've removed the # from the talk and ntalk lines am i right in doing so?
[14:03] <ikonia> hikenboot: what ?
[14:03] <zero1> hi guys, anyone ever experience laptop resuming after hibernate, then just before you unlock the desktop it hibernates again?
[14:03] <ikonia> iamnewb: are you using ntalk ?
[14:03] <iamnewb> i don't know
[14:04] <Pici> hikenboot: They are just pictures, thats all icons are.
[14:04] <th0r> spee the display manager login is called from /etc/X11/default-display-manager.  Its much more efficient to use update-rc.d
[14:04] <zero1> resuming again, on the 2nd, will then be ok.  it's only @ the first time that it hibernates (again)
[14:04] <Pir8> Apart from Open Office are there any MS Word equivalent substitues for Linux ?
[14:04] <iamnewb> well i need ntalk in order to use talk right?
[14:04] <th0r> Pici fair enough....learn something new every day
[14:04] <Pir8> which are capable of opening word, powerpoint, excel documents.
[14:05] <mneptok> Pir8: KOffice?
[14:05] <Pir8> How about for GNome?
[14:05] <mneptok> Abiword + Gnumeric?
[14:05] <th0r> Pici my notes are based on changing the default dm....figured if there isn't a default....it will not start x
[14:05] <Pir8> ok
[14:06] <th0r> Pici I think update-rc.d will do the same thing basically
[14:06] <PLSshowyourhelp> How can I update some softwares together or one by one?
[14:06] <Pici> th0r: update-rc.d will tell it to not start anything, rather than trying to start something and erroring out.

[14:26] <th0r> pike_ old age...and the benefits of scripting...never have to remember it <smile>
[14:26] <kimmey2k3> Anyone been into that apache2 and php5 dosent work? I installed now and I'm only able to download files as .phtml. Any solution?
[14:26] <bruenig> you know you can change the vo default in config files...
[14:27] <jrib> !lamp > kimmey2k3 (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:27] <pike_> but bad thing is x11 doesnt do fullscreen scaling at least for me
[14:27] <kimmey2k3> jrib: I tried the lamp without any luck
[14:27] <jrib> kimmey2k3: try the suggestions on the wiki page for that issue.  Also, see if it works if you name them .php instead
[14:27] <th0r> pike_  there is a list of video outputs to try...check 'man mplayer' for a list of them
[14:28] <kimmey2k3> The files are named php. None is .phtml
[14:28] <th0r> bruenig and that is why we didn't talk yet about a config file <smile>
[14:28] <kimmey2k3> Thats wierd. It has alwas worked without problems. But not now.

[14:33] <deadlock> I have a shared printer on a windows XP machine, and am able to connect to it from OTHER windows machines, but not my linux one. Is there something special i have to setup, instead of just going to the PC on the network, I cant even see it when i go there, i only see the PC's shared folder.

[14:34] <amitprakash> jrib, i shudda kept a backup but alas i did not
[14:35] <amitprakash> jrib, from restricted drivers
[14:35] <jrib> EDinNY: remove that repository

[14:36] <jrib> kimmey2k3: sudo a2enmod php5
[14:36] <kimmey2k3> jrib: It says it is already enabled
[14:36] <stmartin> I did everything properly, why my drivers are still "Vesa"???
[14:36] <pike_> dtolj: well can you ping out? if its nat'd using vmware maybe the host box has a firewall
[14:36] <pike_> dtolj: try bridged instead
[14:36] <stmartin> !vesa
[14:36] <ubotu> vesa is the default video driver if X can't find a better one. Also see !x
[14:36] <jrib> kimmey2k3: 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart', clear your browser's cache, and check the page again
[14:37] <dtolj> pike_: Yes i can ping the repo server fine.
[14:37] <jrib> amitprakash: what exactly happens when you start ubuntu now?
[14:37] <pike_> hmm i think repos use 443 but not sure of that
[14:37] <kimmey2k3> jrib: Thanks! that made it! :)

[14:38] <EDinNY> jrib, then apt-get upgrade install?
[14:38] <jrib> amitprakash: see if it works fine when you use 'nv' as your driver, then we can try to get nvidia working again

[14:43] <PriceChild> !patience | savasv
[14:43] <ubotu> savasv: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[14:43] <jrib> savasv: stay on topic please.  Ask your question and wait patiently
[14:43] <PriceChild> stmartin, because you have uninstalled it?
[14:43] <stmartin> no
[14:43] <dtolj> This is so strange I can ping a repo (us.archives.ubuntu.com) but it times out on apt-get update!
[14:43] <savasv> i've been waiting for 10 minutes now...
[14:43] <stmartin> I tried 100 times to install nvidia driver
[14:43] <savasv> others get answers in 10 seconds
[14:43] <stmartin> but I don't know why it is still "vesa" and it is unknown
[14:44] <brobostigon> savasv: if you dont get an answer it may mmean nobody knows an answer
[14:44] <jrib> savasv: it's not personal, people can only answer questions they know the answer to
[14:44] <amitprakash> jrib, okay that fixed it, how did this happen though
[14:44] <dgjones> savasv, its probably because the people who know the answer aren't in the channel at the minute
[14:44] <jrib> amitprakash: no idea
[14:44] <amitprakash> jrib, and thanks a lot
[14:44] <th0r> savasv I wonder how many people have tried to install that theme....much less run into a problem.
[14:44] <PriceChild> stmartin, does the restricted driver manager install?
[14:44] <rich__> how do you launch firestarter at boot? or do you not set the firewall this way?
[14:44] <amitprakash> jrib, ^^
[14:44] <stmartin> I have no restricted driver manager
[14:44] <PriceChild> rich__, it does it automatically
[14:44] <dtolj> Is there a proxy configuration somewhere For fetching packages from outside world?
[14:44] <stmartin> I have ubuntu 6.06 LTS dapper
[14:44] <PriceChild> rich__, firestarter is just a gui, the service runs int he background all the itme
[14:45] <adante> hi, i have a directory which someone else put files into - is there a way for me to remove this directory?
[14:45] <dtolj> I have notices PROXY setting during installation of Ubuntu server gutsy, how can i configure that again
[14:45] <savasv> yes, the problem is not the particular theme... it's the dependancy is already installed but it shows up like it's not...
[14:45] <adante> when i try the normal -rf it says cannot remove the files, permission denied
[14:45] <th0r> adante  you should be able to delete it as root...use 'sudo rmdir'
[14:46] <adante> th0r: i do not have root access on this box
[14:46] <PriceChild> stmartin, ah right
[14:46] <stmartin> how to install restricted driver manager?
[14:46] <PriceChild> !nvidia | stmartin
[14:46] <PriceChild> stmartin, use that guide that ubotu is giving you
[14:46] <stmartin> It didn't helped
[14:46] <ubotu> stmartin: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[14:46] <th0r> adante then no...you won't be able to delete it
[14:46] <PriceChild> stmartin, why not? what didn't work?

[14:47] <stmartin> PriceChild:there is no tutorial for 6.06
[14:47] <stmartin> I click on 6.10 or earlier
[14:47] <rich__> Yeah ?I know that, but when i boot and run iptables -L it isnt implementing my firestarter settings
[14:47] <stmartin> and again I gget for Ubuntu 7.04
[14:48] <rich__> does firestarter execute iptables-save when it exits?
[14:48] <stmartin> !nvidia dapper
[14:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia dapper - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[14:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia 6.06 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:48] <PriceChild> stmartin, please stop
[14:48] <th0r> rich__  firestarter configures iptables. iptables runs all the time, there are just no rules by default
[14:48] <jrib> dtolj: there's something in synaptic's preferences.  Otherwise you can set http_proxy in your shell and that will get used.  You can also do it in apt.conf (see the man page)
[14:48] <stmartin> PriceChild: I am desperate
[14:48] <PriceChild> stmartin, what doesn't work about the "6.10 and earlier" instructions?
[14:48] <th0r> rich__  you can see that by typing 'iptables -L'

[14:49] <rich__> i have set the rules to DROP all, but thats doesnt show, is it because i switch between wireless and wired
[14:49] <VSpike> how come when I install new GTK themes in System->Preferences->Appearence->Theme, they don't show up?
[14:49] <PriceChild> stmartin, then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#head-638b69986bff87ad112df8fe71ca32abadb81c8c-2

[14:49] <jrib> !guidelines > savasv (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:50] <rich__> do i have to manually run firestarter for it to show at startup?
[14:50] <stmartin> but I don't know my appropriate package for my kernel
[14:50] <VSpike> Do I need to install them systemwide somehow?
[14:50] <th0r> rich__ iptables should not delete rules just because you switch interfaces. are you sure yhou defined the drop rules correctly?
[14:50] <jrib> VSpike: check if they are in the "controls" or "window border" tabs after you press the "customize..." button
[14:51] <PriceChild> stmartin, you don't need to. That guide tells you *exactly* what to do
[14:51] <rich__> yeah i have, its working now, just doesnt seem to be persistent
[14:51] <PriceChild> stmartin, or would you like me to read the guide and just feed you each command one after the other instead of using the gui?
[14:51] <stmartin> it says Find the appropriate package for your kernel. For example
[14:51] <pubo> Hi people :)
[14:51] <th0r> rich__ and yes, you would have to start firestarter at startup to have it show
[14:51] <PriceChild> stmartin, it doesn't. Where does it say that?
[14:51] <rich__> do i just add a Symbolic link to /etc/rc2.d to 360 flip the gui into action at boot?
[14:52] <stmartin> under "In ubuntu"
[14:52] <VSpike> jrib: ahh yes indeed
[14:52] <VSpike> jrib: thanks
[14:52] <th0r> rich__ as I recall I had to write a script with the rules and run it at startup...but I wasn't using firestarter so don't know how it handles things
[14:52] <PriceChild> stmartin, i can't find it.
[14:52] <viking> where do I change my startup script?
[14:52] <alexvd_> does anyone know why ata/0 would keep running for 230 hours
[14:52] <jrib> !startup > viking (read the private message from ubotu)
[14:52] <stmartin> PriceChild press Ctrl+F you'll find it
[14:53] <PriceChild> stmartin, please follow the links i have given you
[14:53] <PriceChild> stmartin, i did, but can't find any "under ubuntu" except for in 7.04
[14:53] <PriceChild> stmartin, I have given you *exact* loactions in the file (don't scroll up from where the link takes you)
[14:53] <pubo> I have a question about samba + NTFS HD + nautilus... I have mounted an NTFS partition through smbfs. In a terminal I can do mkdir rm, everything. In Nautilus I only can create files, delete files/directories, but I can't create new directories... Any ideas?
[14:53] <th0r> viking what do you want to change?
[14:53] <viking> jrib: thanks
[14:54] <viking> need to add emerald themes to my startup =P
[14:54] <stmartin> yes, look at the 2-nd link
[14:54] <PriceChild> stmartin, have you done the first link first?
[14:54] <stmartin> here:Find the appropriate package for your kernel. For example, if you have linux-image-amd64-k8 installed, then you should install linux-restricted-modules-amd64-k8. Selecting one will also install nvidia-kernel-common. (Note: you have to select the restricted modules first because the nvidia-glx package automatically installs the i386 one - and if you have a generic kernel image, the X will not work.)
[14:54] <Oli``> How do you change the keyring password?
[14:54] <PriceChild> stmartin, linux-restricted-modules-generic
[14:55] <viking> got to add 'compiz --replace' and 'emerald --replace' to my startup script so emerald themes will start all the time... I just need to know the location and name of my actual startup script
[14:55] <crdlb> PriceChild: not in dapper :)
[14:55] <viking> ubotu: startup script
[14:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about startup script - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:55] <PriceChild> stmartin, linux-restricted-modules-686 sorry
[14:55] <dtolj> Does someone have experience with network setting on VMware ESX to allow connection to repos
[14:55] <PriceChild> crdlb, yup
[14:56] <jrib> viking: #compiz-fusion probably knows a better way to achieve that
[14:56] <stmartin> PriceChild I don't think so that my card is on the card list
[14:56] <viking> good idea... I will check with them.  Thanks
[14:56] <PriceChild> stmartin, what card is it?
[14:56] <stmartin> I have Nvidia Geforce 8200GT or something
[14:56] <PriceChild> stmartin, gah
[14:56] <PriceChild> stmartin, why are you using dapper?
[14:56] <crdlb> viking: why do you need to do that? just use system > preferences > apperarance > visual effects
[14:57] <stmartin> don't know, my brother gave it to me
[14:57] <PriceChild> stmartin, you will have to install the drivers from nvidia.com manually then.
[14:57] <stmartin> I am newbie
[14:58] <stmartin> PriceChild, is there Drivers for linux, on nvidia.com?
[14:58] <viking> crdlb I am having a hard time finding themes for ubuntu... so I was just gonna use the emerald onces.
[14:58] <PriceChild> stmartin, Dapper is now almost 2 years old. Although it is stable and works perfectly fine. It can't support the newer hardware without risking that stability
[14:58] <viking> ones*
[14:58] <crdlb> viking: with emerald installed, the compiz wrapper automatically uses emerald instead of gtk-window-decorator
[14:58] <pubo> please, can anybody help me with my problem? Does anybody use Samba?
[14:58] <crdlb> upon restart of compiz
[14:59] <stmartin> PriceChild but only 6.06LTS gives update support for 3 years, right?
[14:59] <viking> oh... that I did not know...
[14:59] <amitprakash> jrib, btw why is the depth set to 24 instead of 32
[14:59] <PriceChild> stmartin, which is probably not worth it to you. (Remember you can upgrade between releases... dapper to edgy, to feisty, to gutsy)
[14:59] <viking> crdlb I did not see it use a emerald theme until I used the command 'compiz --replace -c emerald &'
[14:59] <PriceChild> stmartin, it is more important on servers or large scale deploymants
[15:00] <PriceChild> stmartin, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html is the driver you want.
[15:00] <jrib> amitprakash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth#32-bit_color
[15:00] <crdlb> viking: that's only with trevinho's repo
[15:00] <PriceChild> stmartin, if this is a fresh install, I *strongly* recommend downloading Gutsy and doing a fresh install
[15:00] <viking> oh... is there another one I need to be getting?
[15:00] <stmartin> will I have 3 years support? :D
[15:00] <doktoreas> hello everybody
[15:01] <crdlb> viking: that's what you're using now?
[15:01] <bowen0507> I am having problems with my Asus EE PC outputting VGA....it seems to output at any other resolution than the one I want.

[15:02] <riganta> Hi Guys, I have got a stuppid pb with Ubuntu-Server. I have connected my server to a screen and the resolution is way off.. The pb is that because it is a server I dont have x11 so I cannot resolve my pb
[15:02] <riganta>  any solutions would be much appreciated
[15:02] <viking> crdlb: I am using compiz-fusion. I am not sure exactly one you mean by trevinho;s repository.
[15:02] <jrib> stmartin: 6.06 + 3 = 9.06.  Gutsy is supported for 18(?) months so 7.10 + 1.06 = 9.04 so you don't really get updates for a longer time at this point
[15:02] <Oli``> bowen0507: I thought the max for the eee hardware was 1280*1024
[15:02] <bazhang> bowen0507: are you aware there is a channel #eeepc ?
[15:02] <crdlb> viking: in gutsy?
[15:02] <bowen0507> nope, i am not
[15:02] <viking> yes in gutsy
[15:02] <bowen0507> i'll give that a go
[15:02] <jotham> can i set the resolution unbuntu uses when it sits on the login screen? right now it's too high for my monitor
[15:03] <crdlb> viking: that command you gave with the '-c emerald' is only required with a repo you're not using
[15:03] <marko-_-> why does my keyboard not work in the console ?:s
[15:03] <Slart> doktoreas: I know there's a multi-user text editor.. don't know if there are any multi-user whiteboards..
[15:03] <bazhang> bowen0507: there is also a website with excellent wiki and forums www.eeeuser.com
[15:03] <amitprakash> jrib, damn the tricky manufacturers with they 32bit and their GB
[15:03] <feroce> hi
[15:03] <feroce> i have a problem with my usb pen
[15:04] <doktoreas> hi Slart
[15:04] <viking> oh... hmm maybe I missed something then. Perhaps it was using the theme I just hadn't gotten any different ones until I came across a forum with a link to some themes and that command.
[15:04] <Slart> marko-_-: wow.. don't tell us anything that might help us narrow it down.. I'm guessing it's because your computer is turned off
[15:04] <feroce> it's automounted with a read-only filesystem
[15:04] <Slart> doktoreas: hello
[15:04] <marko-_-> slart ?
[15:04] <feroce> i read the log file, it says unknow partition table
[15:04] <marko-_-> i press ctrl + alt + F4 but the keyboard doesn't work
[15:04] <marko-_-> here it does fine.
[15:04] <feroce> i tried also with fsck
[15:05] <Slart> marko-_-: ah.. we're getting somewhere.. what video-card?
[15:05] <bowen0507> bazhang: Yeah I have been there
[15:05] <bowen0507> i have been researching this for the past 5 hours
[15:05] <marko-_-> slart nvidia 8600gt anyway... it worked fine... today it's not.
[15:05] <viking> So anyone have any good forum post on how to replace the gears animation with a blender 3D file of your own, that you have seen?
[15:05] <Slart> marko-_-: do you still get the black screen when you press ctrl+alt+f4?
[15:06] <marko-_-> no i get
[15:06] <bazhang> bowen0507: best to check out the wiki then
[15:06] <marko-_-> to the login
[15:06] <marko-_-> and stuff buit i can't type :D
[15:06] <Slart> marko-_-: ok.. sounds like that part i working.. normal keyboard? wireless? anything weird about it
[15:06] <bowen0507> bazhang: Been through that as well :(
[15:06] <marko-_-> wireless
[15:07] <marko-_-> nothing weird about it
[15:07] <Oli``> marko-_-: and usb?
[15:07] <marko-_-> what do you mean by that ?
[15:07] <viking> Slart: wireles shouldn't matter though since he can type in irc...
[15:07] <marko-_-> yes...
[15:07] <marko-_-> i can type
[15:07] <Slart> marko-_-: I think nvidia drivers had some problems with the console before.. but as I recall they fixed that
[15:07] <marko-_-> everwhere normall
[15:07] <Oli``> marko-_-: I mean is the wireless hub plugged into a USB socket? or is it pure bluetooth?
[15:07] <marko-_-> only in the console not :)
[15:07] <perfector> can the vbox daemon start and stop virtual machines?
[15:07] <bazhang> bowen0507: the info should be there--some others have gone through the same thing--if anyone knows they will; best to post to the forum as well
[15:07] <Slart> viking: just checking... and he might not be using irc from the same computer
[15:08] <lukasz> !find demuxer
[15:08] <marko-_-> i am using it from the same computer:P
[15:08] <ubotu> Package/file demuxer does not exist in gutsy
[15:08] <marko-_-> Oli``, it's plugged into the usb socket
[15:08] <fw0127> why fetchmail tells me fetchmail
[15:08] <Slart> marko-_-: hmm.. you're using ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy), right?
[15:08] <viking> Slart: true =P but he did say earlier that he couldn't type in terminal but could in irc... leading me to believe it was on the same computer
[15:08] <Slart> viking: ah.. sneaky.. I missed that =)
[15:08] <marko-_-> yes
[15:09] <viking> Slart: =p gotta keep those eyes open wider and stop switching between your desktops just to watch the cube spin... (trust me, I know >;)
[15:09]  * fw0127 why fetchmail tells me  unable to get local issuer certificate
[15:09] <marko-_-> lol
[15:10] <lukasz> how can I get a radio station from shoutcast aac+ to wrok
[15:10] <Slart> marko-_-: just a thought here.. have you tried shutting down gnome and trying the .. bah.. nevermind.. you can't shut down gnome if you can't type.. =)
[15:10] <viking> lol
[15:10] <marko-_-> i restarded
[15:10] <marko-_-> x already if you mean that
[15:11] <dolphin_noel> Hello
[15:11] <Slart> marko-_-: rebooted too?
[15:11] <dtolj> Does anybody know a reason for APT returning a "Cannot resolve archive.ubuntu.com" message even if I can ping it from the same machine.
[15:11] <marko-_-> slart no
[15:11] <jrib> dtolj: same shell?
[15:11] <Slart> marko-_-: I know it seems like such a windows-solution. .. but it does work sometimes
[15:12] <marko-_-> ok i'll restart
[15:12] <brobostigon> dtolj: maybe dns problem??
[15:12] <marko-_-> but i got another problem here too:P
[15:12] <dtolj> jrib: bash yes I tried using aptitude also and get the same error
[15:12] <marko-_-> slart do you know why firefox crashes so often... and sometimes it freezes
[15:12] <brobostigon> marko-_-: flash does that to me alot.
[15:13] <dtolj> brobostigon: Could be I have been setting up the network, how to configure DNS properly?
[15:13] <Slart> marko-_-: huh? .. you use lots of flash and play videos in the browser?
[15:13] <marko-_-> hm... it's annoying
[15:13] <jrib> dtolj: I meant same instance, sorry.  But check what 'echo $http_proxy' returns
[15:13] <Slart> marko-_-: that's the only thing that kills my firefox.
[15:13] <marko-_-> slart
[15:13] <marko-_-> i mena
[15:13] <marko-_-> mean*
[15:13] <brobostigon> dtolj: i put my dns servers into /etc/resolv.conf
[15:13] <marko-_-> not only in youtube
[15:13] <marko-_-> it does to me on youtube often
[15:13] <marko-_-> but so i just browse where no flash is requered and it crashes
[15:14] <dtolj> jrib: It returns nothing!
[15:14] <scales> hey all
[15:14] <jrib> dtolj: pastebin the full output when you 'sudo apt-get updaet'
[15:14] <jrib> dtolj: pastebin the full output when you 'sudo apt-get update'
[15:14] <Slart> marko-_-: might be sometihng else.. perhaps a weirdo plugin... I haven't had any problems with firefox.. it crashes sometimes..a couple of times a week.. and only when I mess with flash and videos
[15:14] <scales> anyone able to answer a few questions on compiz?
[15:14] <dtolj> brobostigon: jrib: I believe My DNS entry is correct same as on other servers
[15:15] <scales> i have it all running fine i just had a few questions
[15:15] <brobostigon> dtolj:ok
[15:15] <marko-_-> slart the only plugin i use is 'the TOR button' and 'Live http headers' oh and i have a different theme to... maybe that?
[15:16] <Slart> marko-_-: I doubt those would kill it
[15:16] <viking> Anyone here toy around with the idea of replacing the gear animation in the compiz-fusion cube with a blender 3D file of their own?
[15:16] <Dragon67> is there any other program like minicom which is gui

[15:16] <dbrewer_rjr> My feisty server is passing all QC tests. We will be migrating our clients to it starting next week. Question: Does clamav have any mechanism for bypassing large files? Someone told me that the system will bog down if large attachments are scanned. is this true?
[15:18] <Dragon67> is there any gui program like minicom
[15:18] <jahid> minicom for what?
[15:18] <Dragon67> for connecting to router
[15:19] <Dragon67> use serial port in other work terminal emulator

[15:19] <Dragon67> sorry i am new as well
[15:19] <brobostigon> jahid: ssh
[15:19] <jahid> brobostigon: is there any GUI for that? i dont want to do ssh
[15:20] <jahid> though, the GUI will be using ssh too
[15:20] <brobostigon> jahid: vnc
[15:20] <tockitj> happy new year ppl: http://tinyurl.com/yr2ubs
[15:20] <jahid> brobostigon:  thanks!

[15:20] <Dragon67> is there any gui program like minicom  please
[15:20] <Belisarivs> Hi all. Just want to ask. Is it reasonably secure to update to hardy? I use Sid on desktop, so did hardy get to the state to be comparable with it regarding stability? Or there is too much to be fixed, yet?
[15:21] <stmartin> I did nothing with the nvidia drivers
[15:21] <stmartin> it can't find suatable kernel from nvidia
[15:21] <brobostigon> Dragon67: have a look on packages.ubuntu.com
[15:21]  * genii sips a coffee
[15:21] <Dragon67> brobostigon: thanks
[15:22] <jrib> Belisarivs: only when it is released
How did you mean it?
[15:24] <marko-_-> Slart, i just opened firefox wanted to give an url and it crashed .s
[15:24] <jrib> Belisarivs: until hardy is released in april, it is only suitable for developers and testers
[15:24] <Slart> marko-_-: ouch...
[15:25] <dtolj> jrib: APT dosn't want to time out now, it just hands there with Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com message ??
[15:25] <Slart> marko-_-: did you reboot?
[15:25] <marko-_-> not yet
[15:25] <marko-_-> but this is happening
[15:25] <marko-_-> for a week or so
[15:25] <marko-_-> now...
[15:25] <marko-_-> since i got the new teme for firefox and a new gnome theme
[15:25] <jrib> !enter | marko-_-
[15:25] <ubotu> marko-_-: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[15:25] <marko-_-> sorry
[15:25] <Belisarivs> OK then. Will be KDE 4 ported to GG?
[15:26] <bazhang> ported?
[15:26] <Belisarivs> Whether kde4 will be available in gutsy
[15:26] <Belisarivs> ?
[15:26] <keisangi> hi there
[15:26] <Slart> Belisarivs: I don't think they'll put KDE 4 into gutsy.. perhaps in hardy
[15:26] <dgjones> Belisarivs, unlikely, its normally only bug fixes and security updates that get done in between versions
[15:27] <keisangi> i have a weird problem with sound in gusty
[15:27] <Belisarivs> thanks
[15:27] <jrib> dtolj: not really sure what's going on.  Sometimes you can comment everything in your sources.list, apt-get update, then uncomment, and update again.  Since I'm out of ideas, you can try that
[15:27] <dvds> hello world
[15:27] <keisangi> i can hear the gdm welcome sound, but then after i loged in gnome, the sound isn't available
[15:28] <jrib> keisangi: what is the output of the command: groups
[15:28] <dvds> i have a small question: I'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, but I'd like to use the vista boot manager, and install grub only on the ubuntu partition... how can I do it?
[15:28] <keisangi> the speaker icon have a red  cross on it
[15:28] <keisangi> jrib, i look
 the speaker icon have a red  cross on it
[15:28] <keisangi> jrib,  it's:    keisangi admin
[15:29] <dtolj> jrib: thanks, but is there a specific port used for the package manager ?
[15:29] <marko-_-> click on it with the right mouse and the first thing there... click it
[15:29] <dtolj> jrib: maybe its blocked? or is it standard port 80?
[15:29] <brobostigon> dtolj: http i think,so port 80
[15:29] <Quatrux> http://en.thisbitch.info/?id=ac1ff5d543db6738d2b3029d424e6178
[15:30] <keisangi> markd, no it's not muted ... gnome report no sound device available
[15:30] <jrib> keisangi: you need to add your user to the audio group.  There are other groups as well that you should be in.  Use the gui maybe (system -> adiministration -> users and groups)
[15:30] <marko-_-> oh
[15:30] <marko-_-> ok then
[15:30] <keisangi> jrib, ok i try
[15:32] <WorkingOnWise> on AMD64, is OpenOffice 64 bit?
[15:32] <ikonia> WorkingOnWise everything is
[15:32] <Tu13es> what's the best way to play music off my iMac from my laptop?  in OS X I just mount the drive using AFP and use the iTunes library file
[15:32] <keisangi> jrib, i try reboot now ..brb
[15:33] <jrib> keisangi: just log out and back in
[15:33] <neantror> hello, i dont know if it's the right place to ask that question but im wondering if anyone know a program for adding an audio file to a video file ?
[15:33] <dtolj> jrib: Hmm here is something interesting, I try to connect to www.google.ca from w3m text browser since I dont have gui installed yet, and it hangs also with message Opening socket...
[15:33] <brobostigon> ctrl+alt+backspace
[15:34] <agroker_> where under /var/log to look for possible intruder attempts through ssh?
[15:34] <dtolj> jrib: thats also port 80 ?
[15:34] <ciazzz> hi
[15:34] <WorkingOnWise> ikonia: thats what I thought. it came up in another channel today. thanks
[15:34] <erawfish> dtolj: ping google.ca
[15:34] <ciazzz> does anyone know a channel where one speaks about ns2 or systemC
[15:34] <ciazzz> ?
[15:34] <jrib> dtolj: should be
[15:34] <ikonia> ciazzz not here
[15:34] <ciazzz> yes :)

[15:35] <dtolj> erawfish:  PIng on google.com works fine
[15:35] <ikonia> nabcore: this is not a poll channel, this is a support channel, for support questions only. Do you have a support question ?
[15:35] <doktoreas> anyone uses the SLC plugin with pidgin?
[15:35] <tockitj> btw, this is the virus that infects only male population: http://tinyurl.com/yr2ubs lol

[15:35] <jrib> !offtopic | tockitj
[15:35] <ubotu> tockitj: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[15:35] <ikonia> tockitj: please don't
[15:36] <tockitj> i got this on mail for 3 times
[15:36] <tockitj> okey, okey
[15:36] <keisangi> jrib, marko-_- , thanks you two for the help, it works now!  :)
[15:36] <dtolj> erawfish: jrib: could it be that port 80 is blocked? does ping know about that?
[15:36] <rich__> guys how do i change the default window size of the terminal?
[15:36] <lizar1> guys i have an american megatrends mobo and sound starts some times in feisty and not in others which is strange to say the least.  how can i resolve this
[15:37] <ikonia> rich__: open the terminals and options select the size small/med/large etc
[15:37] <chazco> Also, how to access internet via USB mobile phone... it shows as ttyACM*... also has bluetooth DUN i think
[15:37] <rich__> where are those optinos
[15:37] <ikonia> chazco: just point the modem at the device file if it's a true modem
[15:37] <unagi> anyone know how to change the battery icons in gnome?
[15:37] <ikonia> rich__: termiunal --> perferences I think
[15:37] <ikonia> terminal
[15:37] <ikonia> unagi: create a theme
[15:37] <chazco> Not sure... i need to connect to the phones 3G (?) connection
[15:38] <unagi> ....
[15:38] <rich__> i only have profiles and there are no window size options
[15:38] <ikonia> chazco: 3g connections normally need software as I recall
[15:38] <chazco> On my PDA i can use bluetooth and dial into the phone with *99# to get a connection
[15:38] <dvds> i have a small question: I'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, but I'd like to use the vista boot manager, and install grub only on the ubuntu partition... how can I do it?
[15:38] <ikonia> rich__: profiles then edit your profile
[15:38] <lizar1> unagi: in your home folder there's a .icons flder. think its in there
[15:38] <nabcore> ikonia; calm down. I notice on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190061 that some ubuntu users are having issues with this. There are some other ppl working on this on other channels and projects and we were looking to see how many willing testers we could find.
[15:38] <ikonia> dvds: the vista boot menu can't boot ubuntu,
[15:38] <Whitor> How can I tell if my webcam is working? What is a program that will use my webcam in ubuntu ?
[15:38] <chazco> ikonia - It should be possible via DUN on bluetooth (although speed will be slower due to bluetooth limits), but not sure how to make Ubuntu dial out over bluetooth
[15:38] <ikonia> nabcore: I'm very calm. This is not the place to canvas for testers
[15:38] <Arelis> Hi all. I've tried Windows as main OS, but... really, i prefer Ubuntu more. Problem is, i've had it breaking on me several times already. I want to dual-boot Windows with Ubuntu, and want Ubuntu to have a /home partition, for easy backup and reinstalling. How do i do all this?
[15:38] <ikonia> chazco: no idea
[15:38] <pike_> Whitor: vlc is handy for that
[15:39] <Whitor> pike, thanks
[15:39] <LjL> chazco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup - this is for bluetooth but it's probably mostly applicable to usb as well
[15:39] <dvds> ikonia: ? sure? Windows boot manager could always start grub...
[15:39] <Payam> hi
[15:39] <bullgard4> What is the reason for power_management.can_suspend_hybrid = false  (bool)? (see http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/27356/)
[15:39] <ikonia> dvds: windows boot manager can load grub - not ubuntu
[15:39] <chazco> Ah, thanks LjL - i missed that page somehow
[15:39] <lizar1> Arelis: easiest way is to install win first then setup ubuntu and install grub
[15:39] <ikonia> dvds: I don't advise messing with it like that
[15:39] <Payam> Does anybody know how i can begin C++ on Linux?
[15:39] <dvds> ikonia: that's what I want to do.... o_o
[15:39] <ikonia> Payam: buy a book
[15:39] <ikonia> dvds: get googling then
[15:39] <Payam> I can programming
[15:40] <unagi> lizar1: i never see battery icons in those folders........maybe just one but what about the other states of the battery, charged, charging, 2/3rds etc
[15:40] <ikonia> Payam: can you buy book ?
[15:40] <Payam> witch programs shoul i use in linux
[15:40] <Payam> ikonia
[15:40] <dtolj> jrib: OK I have made another discovery It seems that internal sites to my company load but external ones like google hang and since REPO is external it also hangs so its some firewall issue
[15:40] <pike_> Payam: install build-essential then grab a introduction tutorial online
[15:40] <dvds> ikonia: I googeled, didn't find anything, that's why I ask here.... -_-"
[15:40] <lizar1> should be there
[15:40] <mavi-> Payam: eclipse is nice if you want a big IDE
[15:40] <ikonia> Payam: turorial books will suggest programs/compilers
[15:40] <LjL> Payam: « sudo apt-get install build-essential » will get you the C++ compiler
[15:40] <mavi-> Payam: else vim/gedit/whatever
[15:40] <LjL> !code > Payam    (Payam, see the private message from Ubotu)
[15:40] <ikonia> dvds: ask in ##windows then, we don't configure windows boot loaders
[15:40] <lizar1> anyone experienced sound randomly not working in ubuntu
[15:40] <pike_> Payam: eclipse is nice id install and launch it now as it does usually take about 2 days to load
[15:40] <Arelis> lizar1, How do i install Ubuntu in the safest way? I have Windows on my PC right now, and really DON'T want to lose it. Also, which version (Gutsy, Dapper, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu) should I pick?
[15:41] <enterneo> I am unable to ping the default gateway <Destination Host Unreachable>
[15:41] <Payam> pike_: i want a C-- editor
[15:41] <dvds> ikonia: I asked here how to install GRUB on the ubuntu partition, stop trolling with me please...
[15:41] <Payam> c++
[15:41] <LjL> Arelis, the safest way is to install it on another HD. second safest, back up your current data first.
[15:41] <lizar1> Arelis: install it on a different partition
[15:41] <Payam> thats all what i want
[15:41] <pike_> Payam: usually thats just whatever text editor youre comfortable with
[15:41] <ikonia> dvds: I'm not trolling. To install grub on the ubuntu partition, select the "advanced" tab on the boot loader installation section of the installer
[15:41] <Whitor> pike_: VLC won't connect to /dev/video ... I don't think my webcam module  is loaded... how can I load it ?
[15:41] <LjL> Payam: ubotu has given you a pretty comprehensive list of such editors
[15:41] <pike_> Payam: something with syntax highliting is the only big thing you want
[15:41] <Payam> pike_: okej thanks. i gana use it
[15:41] <unagi> yea putting an icon in there didnt do anything
[15:41] <Hammer89> Anyone have any ideas why I can't get control of my headphones volume from alsamixer?
[15:42] <Arelis> LjL, well I don't really have another HD at the moment, so that leaves me with backup up.
[15:42] <Hammer89> (or any other mixer, for that matter..)
[15:42] <dvds> ikonia: that's what I did, thanks... but the problem is I don't know what to do then...
[15:42] <Arelis> LjL, Backing up won't be a problem :)
[15:42] <mavi-> Payam: try gedit, else there are several C++ development environments like MSVS
[15:42] <ikonia> dvds: select the device you want to install it to
[15:42] <pike_> Whitor: modprobe but id search the forums for your specifc webcam for some step by step
[15:42] <Whitor> pike_:  ok thanks
[15:43] <dvds> ikonia: the devide I want to install it to isn't mounted before the installation...
[15:43] <LjL> Arelis, the Ubuntu installer will detect your Windows installation and (unless you explicitly instruct it otherwise), will allow you to shrink its partition without losing data. however, resizing partition is always a potentially dangerous operation, so yes, a backup is needed if you want to be on the safe side
[15:43] <unagi> ugh this is annoying
[15:43] <ikonia> dvds: a device doesn't have to be mounted to install grub
[15:43] <Arelis> LjL, It detects the size well?
[15:43] <lukasz> Amarok and Exaile are working :)
[15:43] <enterneo> I am unable to ping the default gateway <Destination Host Unreachable>
[15:43] <Arelis> Or may it fail detecting the size?
[15:43] <lukasz> Awseme Documentation :)
[15:43] <Payam> pike_: i dont undrastant! Do you mean i can use A text file to write my program?
[15:43] <ikonia> enterneo: you've been saying that all day, and people have given you advice
[15:43] <dvds> ikonia: meaning? what should I give? /dev/sda+number ?
[15:44] <ikonia> dvds: no hd(something, something)
[15:44] <dvds> I don't want to install it on the MBR o_O
[15:44] <ikonia> dvds: I know !
[15:44] <ikonia> dvds: you select the device you want to install it on
[15:44] <dvds> ikonia: o_O
[15:44] <unagi> anyone know how to change the icons for power manager?
[15:44] <enterneo> ikonia: the advice was to use ethernet than usb to connect to router, I cant do that the other laptop connect to the router using ethernet already, and anyways it used to work fine, until i tinkered with the configuration and am not able to set it back
[15:45] <ikonia> unagi: create a theme, in that theme define your icon set
[15:45] <dvds> ikonia: and what device is it, if not my hd? -_-
[15:45] <genii> dvds: Don't install grub onto a subpartition, it overwrites a part of the partition descriptor which tells what kind of partition you have.
[15:45] <rmanola> Does the NTP server work in your Ubuntu ?
[15:45] <unagi> couldnt i just edit the current theme to use different icons?
[15:45] <rmaj> it was working, and suddenly PC stops after "updating DMI information" tingy (before starting grub).  wtf?
[15:45] <ikonia> dvds: what do you mean if i'ts not your hd ? your disk / partition is your hd
[15:45] <ikonia> dvds: have you got any idea how the grub naming partition works yes/no ?
[15:45] <atlantide> I ve pb with Dell 3000cn printer, i am using cups driver, debian OS, i need the driver to run well
[15:45] <rmaj> how to repair MBR or reinstall grub?
[15:45] <unagi> couldnt i just edit the current theme to use different icons? ikonia
[15:45] <ikonia> genii: breath is wasted
[15:46] <dvds> ikonia: I ***DON'T*** want to have GRUB on the MBR...
[15:46] <Hammer89> Anyone have any ideas why I can't get control of my headphones volume from alsamixer (or any other mixer for that matter)?
[15:46] <ikonia> dvds: I KNOW
[15:46] <genii> ikonia:  :/
[15:46] <ikonia> dvds: you specify the device you want to put it on
[15:46] <ikonia> dvds: eg: hd(0,2)
[15:46] <bazhang> atlantide: debian? hmm maybe wrong channel then :}
[15:46] <ikonia> dvds: as I've told you before you come back with the attitude
[15:47] <dvds> ikonia: still don't understand... what does hd(0,2) mean?
[15:47] <ikonia> dvds: do you understand how the grub naming scheme works ?
[15:47] <ikonia> dvds: thanks, thats all you had to say
[15:47] <ikonia> dvds: hd0 is your hard disk, the next number is your partition
[15:47] <bottiger> is there a program which can take backups to an ftp-server? I mean, not just an ftp-client, but a program which runs reguraly, and maybe incrypts everything?
[15:47] <dvds> ikonia: if I wrote grub I wouldn't be here asking how it works :p
[15:47] <ikonia> hd(0,0) is first disk - first partition
[15:47] <ikonia> dvds: I'm no :p at your attitude
[15:47] <nabcore> bottiger; try rsync over ssh
[15:47] <genii> bottiger: yOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF IN THAT CASE TO USE RSYNC
[15:47] <genii> bah capslock...sorry guys
[15:48] <ikonia> dvds: I didn't ask if you wrote grub I asked if you knew how the namking scheme worked
[15:48] <unagi> couldnt i just edit the current theme to use different icons? ikonia
[15:48] <bottiger> nabcore ＆ genii: true, but if rsync is not an option?
[15:48] <ikonia> unagi: sure
[15:48] <ikonia> unagi: create an icon pack
[15:48] <Tigerplug> its really just HD(disk, partition) -----> Starting from 0
[15:48] <ikonia> unagi: or edit the current one
[15:48] <unagi> where would i find that theme file and what woukld i change in it
[15:48] <nabcore> do you only have ftp (I assume no ssh?)
[15:48] <bottiger> nabcore: yes
[15:48] <ikonia> unagi: /usr/share/themes (from memory - not certain)
[15:48] <ikonia> unagi: /usr/share/icons then there is .theme files somewhere
[15:49] <genii> bottiger: The backups would be from the server to a remote machine or the other way around?
[15:49] <nabcore> is the machine that you're backing up from a linux box?
[15:49] <dvds> ikonia: so grub will be installed on the partition? didn't you just say that it will overwrite the descriptor?
[15:49] <ikonia> dvds: I didn't say that, but yes it will
[15:49] <bottiger> genii: from my local machine to the server
[15:49] <bottiger> nabcore: yes
[15:49] <unagi> ~/.icons?
[15:49] <dvds> ikonia: woaw, sorry for using a smile, didn't know it would upset you so much...
[15:50] <blizzah> Gotta question about proFTPD and GproFTPD.  Anyone know how to make GproFTPD point (load) the proftpd.conf file from the correct location?   From what I could see I need to change a symbolic link?  Not sure how todo that.     proFTPD installed to  /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf     GproFTPD is looking for  /etc/proftpd.conf
[15:50] <bazhang> dvds: do you have ubuntu installed?
[15:50] <ikonia> dvds: making a joke out of your attitude towards someone helpiing you doesn't make me smile
[15:50] <ikonia> dvds: doing :p doesn't make it "ok"
[15:50] <dvds> bazhang: not yet...
[15:50] <Toobie> Hey, I
[15:50] <atlantide> Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid
[15:50] <bazhang> dvds: you have been given the answer; please respect the folks that are trying to help you
[15:51] <Arelis> LjL, It will detect the size well? Or will it fail detecting it?
[15:51] <unagi> ~/.icons? ikonia
[15:51] <ikonia> unagi: /usr/share/icons for system wide ones (as I've said 2 times
[15:51] <dvds> bazhang: ?
[15:51] <nabcore> bottiger: How smart do you want this backup mechanism to be? Do you want it only to back up newer data that does not exist on the ftp server; i.e. is the amount of data being tranfered in the back the rate determining factor here?
[15:51] <ikonia> unagi: the ~/.icons are you personal ones
[15:51] <bazhang> dvds: please...
[15:52] <LjL> Arelis, it always detected it correctly for me, but i can't say i did it hundreds of times
[15:52] <Arelis> LjL, is it really needed to backup?
[15:52] <bottiger> nabcore: not very smart.
[15:52] <dvds> bazhang: what? sorry but really using a ":p" didn't seem so unrespectful...
[15:52] <unagi> ok but what im trying to tell you is i dont see any of the power manager icons in /usr/share/icons........i see one icon that is only used when plugged in, where are the discharging and charging icons ikonia
[15:52] <Toobie> Hey, I've had som problems with my dvd burner lately. The DVDs hack when watching them and sometimes they even stop. I always burn at the automatic speed wich I think is maximum speed. Would lower burning speed might help? And if so, @ which speed? Thanks
[15:52] <LjL> Arelis, that's only up to you to decide...
[15:52] <nabcore> bottiger: how much data are we talking about here?
[15:53] <giovanni> ciao
[15:53] <bazhang> dvds: care to join me in #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[15:53] <genii> nabcore: Good question. I was thinking of one of the enhanced ftp clints which allow for more automation like lftp or such, called on a cron schedule. But I'm not sure about incrementals, etc
[15:53] <ikonia> unagi look for the .theme files, there is also a sub forum on ubuntuforums.org for art work which may have guides for you
[15:53] <bottiger> nabcore: hmm - I don't know. I guess my home-folder is a gigabyte or two
[15:53] <blizzah> Anyone?
[15:53] <ikonia> blizzah saying anyone is pointless
[15:53] <enterneo> I am again put on ignore list :(
[15:53] <bottiger> nabcore: and then a weekly backup
[15:53] <nabcore> genii; yes... good call: I was going to go down the lftp route
[15:53] <blizzah> I asked a question a second ago.
[15:53] <bottiger> nabcore: I have a 20/2 Mbit connection
[15:53] <ikonia> blizzah so saying "anyon" is pointless
[15:54] <blizzah> will repost my question.
[15:54] <jw--> Bueller?
[15:54] <Arelis> LjL, Well i don't have any important files right now.
[15:54] <ikonia> jw--: genuis - 10 points
[15:54] <blizzah> Gotta question about proFTPD and GproFTPD.  Anyone know how to make GproFTPD point (load) the proftpd.conf file from the correct location?   From what I could see I need to change a symbolic link?  Not sure how todo that.     proFTPD installed to  /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf     GproFTPD is looking for  /etc/proftpd.conf
[15:54] <unagi> ok i dont really know what im looking at here ikonia, i dont see anywhere that i can define i want gnome power to use these icons ikonia
[15:55] <enterneo> ikonia: help needed
[15:55] <nabcore> bottiger; just a casual google; perhaps this may do? http://www.java2s.com/Code/Python/Utility/FTPmirrorscript.htm
[15:55] <ikonia> enterneo: most people in this channel are looking for advice
[15:55] <ikonia> unagi: I'm no icon master, have a glance through the forum and look for the guides I suggested
[15:55] <genii> blizzah: sudo cp /etc/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd.conf.back; sudo ln -s /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd.conf
[15:55] <ikonia> unagi: there is a whole artwork (which covers icons) sub forum on ubuntuforums.org
[15:55] <bottiger> nabcore: I'll take a look at it
[15:56] <blizzah> That will copy it yes.   But when I make changes to the config using gproftpd will it put it to were the server is looking for its conf?
[15:56] <nabcore> bottiger; there's lots outthere. A good hit density may be found on freshmeat.net (and no... it's not a pr0n site ;)  )
[15:56] <blizzah> oh wait.. is that what ln -s is?
[15:56] <enterneo> ikonia: I will be patient to wait
[15:56] <blizzah> is that the symbolic link?
[15:57] <nabcore> bottiger: eg:  http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=ftp+backup&section=projects&Go.x=0&Go.y=0

[16:11] <brobostigon> 700mb roughly
[16:11] <dgjones> stmartin, if its the only operating system on the computer, just download 7.10 - Gutsy, burn the iso to a cd  and boot up with that cd (its about 700Mb)
[16:11] <evil_tech> is there a way to add a roll up button to windows?
[16:11] <bazhang> about 700MB stmartin

[16:23] <xballs61> I have an application ( plone ) that requires python2.4 and the python-imaging library.  I loaded python2.4 no problem. changed thet link from python to point to 2.4 ( not 2.5) and tried to install python-imaging.  I get the following error when I run "sudo apt-get install python-imaging" ..ValueError: the symlink /usr/bin/python does not point to the python default version. It must be reset to point to python2.5....Is there a way to tell apt that python2.4 is

[16:24] <UberPsyX> Spzatt, its quite complicated if your not used to ubuntu but this might help http://gnomestyle.blogspot.com/2007/05/make-ubuntu-look-like-vista.html
[16:24] <chymera> has anyone had any experience with this app: http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/ ?
[16:24] <HoboBen> Applications written in Gambas make my screen whine a quiet but piercing high pitched scream. What's wrong?!?
[16:24] <Ironman1> its still not workin The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss? i installed it
[16:25] <Spzatt> Also, UberPsyX, how do i remove the window option from a bar?
[16:25] <Fjodor> Ironman1: 2 secs
[16:26] <Fjodor> Ironman1: Are you on 7.04 or 7.10?
[16:26] <marko-_-> what is the easiest way of installing the driver for  geforce 6100
[16:26] <marko-_-> ?
[16:26] <Ironman1> 7.10
[16:26] <Johan-> I'm having som strange behavior on my newly installed 7.10 desktop, in gnome everything goes extremely slow (when gnome actually starts, half of the times it just give me a blank screen). And in xfce4 (that at least loads fast) I can't launch any gnome-programs, like gnome-terminal. Any ideas at all? I have no idea where to start looking for errors
[16:26] <UberPsyX> Spzatt, window option?
[16:26] <adub> my time is always jumping up and hour??
[16:27] <Fjodor> Ironman1: And 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' in a terminal says it's installed?
[16:27] <Spzatt> Yes what you told me Add to bar > window thing
[16:27] <Spzatt> How do i remove that?
[16:28] <Ironman1> ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version.
[16:28] <tushyd> marko-_-, install envy
[16:28] <chazco> Anyone know if its possible to add good bluetooth GUI tools to Gusty?
[16:29] <marko-_-> tushyd, he get's the error  There was an error in the installation process. You can see the log file /var/log/envy-installer.log
[16:29] <isaac_> Hi. I have some media buttons on my keyboard. I'd like to assign my volume buttons to adjust the PCM volume, not the Main Mix volume. How can I do this?
[16:29] <brobostigon> chazco: it is possible
[16:29] <Spzatt> UberPsyX : How do i remove the Window List option from a panel?
[16:29] <isaac_> Johan-: That's super weird.
[16:29] <dgjones> adub, do you have the correct timezone set? right click on the date/time and select adjust date & time, probably need to enter your password, you can check your timezone and also check whether its set for manual or keep syncronised setting
[16:29] <chazco> Any suggested packages? Would've thought they'd all be there be default, but even gnomes bluetooth browsing support is missing
[16:29] <Fjodor> Ironman1: That's weird then. Which player did you try?
[16:29] <Spzatt> Nevermind, i found out
[16:30] <isaac_> Johan-: Do you receive any errors in terminal?
[16:30] <Ironman1> mplayer
[16:30] <Johan-> isaac_: i know :(, noting takes up that much cpu either
[16:30] <kkkk> salut
[16:30] <UberPsyX> Spzatt, right click > remove from panel, make sure you right click on the dots at the start

[16:30] <kkkk> mande de con
[16:30] <kkkk> *bande
[16:30] <isaac_> Johan-: Any which works. xterm maybe? there are a few
[16:30] <tushyd> marko-_-, did you try going to nvidia and installing their drivers?
[16:30] <viking> sometimes ubuntu kinda locks up and won't open any locations like Home Folder or my windows partitions. I can still move around through applications and start new ones that are listed in my applications menu though. But I can not even log out or restart. When I try to hit quit door to bring up the list of options it does nothing...
[16:31] <marko-_-> tushyd, he did it right now and it seems like it worked

[16:31] <Fjodor> Ironman1: First, check if Totem will play it. I'll investigate in the meantime :-)
[16:31] <viking> I think it's just some process that has frozen but have no clue which one.

[16:31] <Johan-> isaac_: no, not when just opened. looked at /var/log/syslog either

[16:31] <marko-_-> he installed the NVidia binary X.Org driver ('new' driver)
[16:31] <marko-_-> tushyd,
[16:31] <Ironman1> totem pops up when i insert in to dvd drive
[16:31] <chazco> hmm... i have most of the relevant ones of those already... looking for stuff to eaisly mange PAN's, bluetooth serial etc
[16:31] <Johan-> isaac_: or any other log what I've looked at

[16:32] <Fjodor> Ironman1: but does it play it?
[16:32] <UberPsyX> hey guys, i have truecrypt installed and can get it to create and open volumes, the only problem is i done have permission to write to the volume, i am the admin but i dont have permission to change the permissions and chown doesnt work either, any ideas?
[16:33] <Ironman1> its plays the videos before the main menu so like the previews
[16:33] <Ironman1> when it gets to the menu it says you need libdvdcss
[16:33] <Spzatt> How do i apply Menu Icons?
[16:33] <Johan-> UberPsyX: you've probably done it but tried sudo chown and not just chown?
[16:34] <UberPsyX> johan-, yer but unfortunately no luck
[16:34] <marko-_-> tushyd, do you know how ?
[16:34] <Whitor> Hi, I keep getting: ERROR opening V4L interface   when trying to use my webcam... any ideas ?
[16:34] <jakel1> oh sweet i figured it out... yay... k

[16:34] <Fjodor> Ironman1: Hmmm, ok. 2 secs

[16:35] <mikebeecham> is there any easy way I can burn an iso to disc?
[16:35] <Ironman1> this is pissing me off its making a beeping sound every time i type
[16:36] <Johan-> UberPsyX: I'm not that good at linux either :) sorry
[16:36] <UberPsyX> mikebeechham, right click > write to disk
[16:36] <viking> vishal: try the #compiz-fusion channel
[16:36] <UberPsyX> Johan-, no problem
[16:36] <Ironman1> fjodor i think it was just that one dvd
[16:36] <stmartin> why the subtitle (.sub file)is not shown in kaffetine?
[16:36] <Ironman1> it was a family guy dvd
[16:36] <Ironman1> i tried another one and its working just fine
[16:36] <vishal> viking: just came from there, no one there
[16:36] <bazhang> mikebeecham: right click open with cd/dvd creator should do
[16:36] <mikebeecham> nice
[16:37] <mikebeecham> you have to love Linux
[16:37] <viking> oh ok... ya wasn't that populated earlier either
[16:37] <stmartin> help?
[16:37] <chazco> How can i turn off subtitles in totem altogether? Doing it each time from the menu is impractical and in Gusty causes Totem to crash...
[16:37] <Fjodor> Ironman1: Ok. Try to find out if the disc is a) scratched, b) protected, and if b, ask someone who is working on stuff for that, so that it may be worked around :-)
[16:37] <vishal> viking: i managed to do it before but its wont accept it anymore, weird
[16:38] <marko-_-> stmartin, just rename it in .txt and try
[16:38] <Spzatt> Help : I am trying to make ubuntu look like vista, but the menu bars wont change, why?
[16:39] <marko-_-> or .srt

[16:40] <stmartin> it didn't work
[16:40] <Johan-> }MatriX{: sorry not registerd, cant talk in pm :/

[16:46] <Ironman1> wtf is this right im encoding a video with k9copy does it encode real fast  because im converting a dvd to mp4 and its going real fast
[16:46] <white_eagle> Pici: I know I just found the gnome frontend
[16:46] <enterneo_> ikonia: I found the cause of my gateway problem, since i have 2 interfaces, eth0 <usb> and eth1 <ethernet> , when i doing ping <IP_ADDRESS>, it is actually checking via eth1 which is unwired, I have connected the wired cable via eth0
[16:47] <viking> veshal: well that was interesting. I was rotating the cube and used some keys to freeze it then couldn't unfreeze it to get it back to normal and had to reboot.

[16:49] <chinmayzen> and i'm thinking of choosing Bittorrent
