[08:51] <navarone> M3G4, I have asus mb with athlon 1.2 512mb ram and geforce3 vidcard...not much different than you
[08:52] <M3G4> exactly
[08:52] <navarone> except for vidcard
[08:52] <M3G4> If windows can run quickly on this PC, linux has no excuse :-/
[08:52] <pashaw> M3G4,   haha      operator error   would be the excuse
[08:53] <navarone> M3G4, does it recognize correct vidcard in device manager?
[08:53] <M3G4> navarone - it calls it by it's name, yes
[08:53] <funkyHat> M3G4, it does, hardware manufacturers release drivers for Windows, linux drivers are written by the community on the whole (or in the case of ATI, written badly by the manufacturer)
[08:53] <Steil> heh Serge_K it isn't a debian clone though :)
[08:53] <Sh4d0x> euhm noob question :$:$ but how do yo pm someone?
[08:54] <nalioth> ubotu: tell Sh4d0x about register
[08:54] <navarone>  /msg nick ,message>
[08:54] <navarone> ahh
[08:54] <Serge_K> Steil: damn ,aybe they would ban me here too
[08:54] <M3G4> funkyhat - i still fail to see how Linux can be THIS slow on account of a graphics card driver?
[08:54] <Ozman> will the gdesklets start automatically after restarting my computer ?
[08:54] <SAM_theman> i have gdesktop
[08:55] <SAM_theman> *gdesklets
[08:55] <TD-Linux> Dapper Drake 2 has 2.6.15, am I correct?
[08:55] <Sh4d0x> SAM_theman, can't you read my pm? :$
[08:55] <funkyHat> M3G4, is the system slow at doing things not graphics-related?
[08:55] <eruin> TD-Linux, yes
[08:55] <SAM_theman> nope
[08:55] <Sh4d0x> scrapple :(
[08:55] <M3G4> funkyhat - yes, its slow to launch applications and such
[08:55] <navarone> M3G4, is this a fresh install?
[08:55] <Ozman> SAM_theman, ?
[08:55] <SAM_theman> try to pm me
[08:55] <SAM_theman> ok buddie
[08:55] <M3G4> navarone - no, dualbooting with xp, installed 2 days ago
[08:55] <SAM_theman> go into sytem
[08:55] <funkyHat> shawarma, you need to be registered and identified in order to pm
[08:56] <SAM_theman> and go to prefrense

[08:56] <SAM_theman> eating soup
[08:56] <qgil> hello, ubunter@s: once I've created another user, how can I have access to her home folder? Is it a way of doing it without the console, via desktop?
[08:56] <TD-Linux> hmm.... 2.6.15 is supposed to have SATA ATAPI, but it still dosen't work with my CD drive...
[08:56] <necroreaper1031> need help with a wine install
[08:56] <funkyHat> Sh4d0x, you need to be registered and identified in order to pm
[08:56] <SAM_theman> then go to sesions
[08:57] <pashaw> DarkMan,   ??
[08:57] <eruin> TD-Linux, not sure the installer has much to do with the actual installed kernel though
[08:57] <TD-Linux> When I try to run the preinstalled live system, it can't find my CD-ROM
[08:57] <Sh4d0x> fuckyhat, thnx i'm allready trying :D
[08:57] <TD-Linux> drive
[08:57] <DarkMan> i tried it  , but then it  stops  in the  beginning  at etc/usb.rc
[08:57] <funkyHat> Sh4d0x, lol, /msg nickserv help
[08:57] <eruin> TD-Linux, I think you should send off a mail to the ubuntu-users list
[08:58] <TD-Linux> ok
[08:58] <funkyHat> Sh4d0x, in case you didn't already know :P
[08:58] <Sh4d0x> funkyhat :D uhu but still my english isn't that good, it needs a while ;)
[08:58] <joe_> ubuntu isnt recognizing my onboard sound card, Dell Optipled GX1 P3 550 128
[08:58] <joe_> er Optiplex
[08:58] <joe_> hopeless?
[08:59] <jennhi> Sh4d0x, it's requiring xine-lib and xine-d5d, which aren't available from apt-get and I can't compile them for some reason.
[09:00] <pashaw> DarkMan,  installer got farther then before?
[09:00] <qgil> about accessing other users' folders, I have tried to find the answer http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch06.html but couldn't find it - must be easy
[09:00] <Sh4d0x> jennhi maybe you can found them on the web and try to install them manually
[09:00] <necroreaper1031> need help with a wine install
[09:00] <Kurt> does ubuntu use retarded names for IDE devices in /dev?
[09:01] <Kurt> a friend of mine's trying to mount his Windows hard drive in Ubuntu and he's having trouble figuring out where it is
[09:01] <pashaw> Kurt,   yeah  hda  hdb
[09:01] <DarkMan> no, stopped  earlier
[09:01] <jennhi> sh4d0x, yes, that's what I'm trying to do but they won't compile.
[09:01] <Kurt> those aren't retarded names, though
[09:02] <Kurt> those are the standard ones
[09:02] <Sh4d0x> jennhi, hmm let me give it a try
[09:02] <pashaw> DarkMan,   what make model laptop right?
[09:02] <Kurt> and he says he doesn't have those
[09:02] <Kurt> at least, not in /dev
[09:02] <pashaw> Kurt,   i know  :P
[09:02] <Kurt> are they somewhere else?
[09:02] <DarkMan> not laptop , its a  desktop ,  amd 400 Mhz

[09:02] <nick01> to be used at startup
[09:03] <knoppix> hey people... got a big problem
[09:03] <knoppix> somehow i managed to get a nasty little virus that has killed my ubuntu and windows disks
[09:03] <knoppix> screwed up the grub loader and all
[09:04] <necroreaper1031> need help with a wine install
[09:04] <nalioth> ubotu: tell knoppix about recover
[09:04] <kyncani> SAM_theman: your desktop does rock :)
[09:04] <knoppix> if i use the recover mode will i be able to possibly save my windows disk too?
[09:04] <SAM_theman> thanks
[09:05] <SAM_theman> i am working on Kubuntu right now to make it look like this
[09:05] <SAM_theman> http://kde-look.org/content/pre1/27046-1.jpg
[09:05] <kyncani> SAM_theman: well, this one is too confusing to me :)
[09:05] <knoppix> is it possible to save the disk?
[09:06] <knoppix> and does anyone know a good scanner?
[09:06] <nalioth> knoppix: you were sent a PM by ubotu
[09:06] <knoppix> what is the command to rewrite the grub?
[09:06] <nalioth> knoppix: use clamAV
[09:07] <mwill> I have a function (fn) key on my keyboard. Would it be possible to map that key to the control key?
[09:07] <Dr_Willis>  necroreaper1031  more details would help.
[09:07] <knoppix> ok
[09:07] <knoppix> thanks
[09:07] <knoppix> brb and will let you know how it worked out

[09:10] <DarkMan> oke  will try that   pashaw
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> your repos are proberly not all set right.
[09:11] <eztar> Can i install the kubuntu packages of KDE in Ubuntu_
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> eztar,  yes
[09:11] <necroreaper1031> i put that in all it shows is wine-doc
[09:11] <eztar> Nice thanks :)
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> eztar,  i do it all the time.
[09:12] <Evil_Whisper> hi guys
[09:12] <eztar> Hey Evil_Whisper
[09:12] <Evil_Whisper> sorry about freaking out about my xserver lol :P I got it fixed
[09:13] <Evil_Whisper> :-) just re-installed cause I have a seperate /home partition :-\
[09:13] <Evil_Whisper> But why would a live CD break my install's xorg?
[09:14] <hume> when ssh-ing to another computer in a Konsole window, i get character encoding failures (characters displayd wrongly) - how do I set this?  both computers use utf-8 as locale
[09:14] <pashaw> Evil_Whisper,   try it again   maybe its a bug
[09:14] <Evil_Whisper> ok
[09:15] <SAM_theman> umm guys whats the package for all the compiling packages for KDE
[09:15] <necroreaper1031> apt-cache search wine grants wine-doc zope-cmgfworkflow tellico
[09:15] <Evil_Whisper> You want kde?
[09:15] <Evil_Whisper> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for KDE
[09:15] <SAM_theman> sudo apt-get install "lm-qt...".
[09:16] <SAM_theman> nono the compiling package
[09:16] <Evil_Whisper> oh let me have a look I'll see if i can find it
[09:16] <Evil_Whisper> libqt3-mt-dev?
[09:17] <Evil_Whisper> is that it SAM?
[09:17] <necroreaper1031> um
[09:17] <SAM_theman> YEs
[09:17] <SAM_theman> i think :D
[09:17] <Evil_Whisper> k
[09:18] <Evil_Whisper> Are there any benifits(SP?) compiling firefox from source rather then the mozilla.com binary?
[09:19] <kyncani> Evil_Whisper: if you want firefox, methinks you should just apt-get it. It's simple and it works
[09:19] <pashaw> Evil_Whisper,   pride, happy feelings  ?
[09:19] <Xmasmoo> Evil_Whisper: pain of typing manual commands
[09:19] <La_PaRCa> !gmake
[09:19] <ubotu> La_PaRCa: I don't know
[09:19] <raj> Hi, I have a strange problem using nxclient. I installed and configured nxserver on a fedora box and later installed nxclient on the Ubuntu box. I tried to access the desktop. I was able to go as far as Authentication. "Authentication completed" and then it just sits there and times out..i don't see any desktop. Any suggestions????
[09:19] <La_PaRCa> In what package would I find gmake?
[09:19] <rockinchado> ok     i'm trying to use make to install the rt2500 module  but i get this error *** No rule to make target `modules'.  Stop.
[09:20] <pashaw> Evil_Whisper,    thats why i never fell into the Gentoo boat  not into compiling anything more than a kernel or two
[09:20] <Evil_Whisper> So it wont really have any effects on performance?
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  hmm that module is allready on my system.
[09:20] <raj> Anyone had success with nxserver???
[09:21] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, hrm...was it just already insalled?
[09:21] <rinzai-shu> La_PaRCa: oddly enough, the package is "make" ;-)
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  its on my new install (well a month old)
[09:21] <eztar> Dr_Willis, When i've added "deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde35 breezy main" to sources.list then what do i do?
[09:21] <pashaw> Evil_Whisper,   we cant say yes or no  we dont know what things you would enable or disable
[09:21] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, haha i just installed the new one last night  dangit
[09:22] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, you know how i could install that module
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> eztar,  the kubuntu homepage - has the exact docs on how to install it. I think that added deb was for the beta.
[09:22] <La_PaRCa> rinzai-shu, um, I have an install script asking for gmake... and make provides make
[09:22] <eZtaR> Thanks Dr_Willis
[09:22] <eZtaR> :)
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  i never installed it that i know of. :P that machine dosent even have wireless.
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> rock using the kernel -->  2.6.12-10-386  here..
[09:22] <_RocH> are ubuntu / kubuntu 100% equal , besides window manager ?
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> so it may of got put in there.
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> _RocH,  id stick with ubuntu, then apt-get install the kde stuff.
[09:23] <pashaw> _RocH, i agree   with Doc
[09:23] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, so i need to install that kernel?
[09:23] <necroreaper1031> anyone?
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  well as far as i know - its just the latest kernel.  there may be newer now.
[09:24] <eZtaR> Dr_Willis, http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-35.php ?
[09:24] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  try 'locate rt2500'
[09:24] <rinzai-shu> La_PaRCa: from dpkg -l | grep make:   make                                   3.80-9                                   The GNU version of the "make" utility.
[09:24] <rinzai-shu> La_PaRCa: note the "GNU" there... i.e. gmake ;-)
[09:24] <Dr_Willis> eZtaR,  the kde beta   has a few issues also.. may be beter to just stick with the 3.4 or Whatever is the stable.
[09:24] <shwag> anyone know of some software to go through an organize all my mp3s into folders?
[09:25] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, is this right /lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2500
[09:25] <rockinchado> /lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2500/rt2500.ko
[09:25] <La_PaRCa> rinzai-shu, yeah, nevermind... had to change the script to change the check for gmake to plain make
[09:26] <holycow> hey guys, i want to run the command 'grub' restricted to /media/usbdisk.  i can just do sudo chrootuid /media/usbdisk correct?
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  thats the one i got.
[09:26] <holycow> when i try sudo chroot /media/usbdisk it says 'permission denied'
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  try modprobe rt2500
[09:26] <_RocH> so I do "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" , that's it ? :>
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> _RocH,  thats the normal way of doing it.
[09:26] <rinzai-shu> La_PaRCa: yes, you're obviously compiling something that was made for many platforms, and while commercial unices such as Solaris include a proprietary "make" most Linux distributions use gmake.  glad you got that all figured out. ;-)
[09:27] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis,  that gives me nothing
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  check dmesg output.
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> if it worked = prints nothing :P
[09:27] <_RocH> Dr_Willis, what other methos would you advice ?
[09:27] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, haha it showed a ton a stuff lol
[09:27] <_RocH> *method
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  check the end.
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> _RocH,  use that one. :p
[09:27] <rinzai-shu> _RocH: if you're trying to install KDE for Ubuntu (e.g. Kubuntu) then yep, that's it... ;-)
[09:28] <_RocH> TY very much :)
[09:28] <La_PaRCa> rinzai-shu, the problem was, in ubuntu, the make command is actually make, but the script was checking for "gmake"
[09:28] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, it shows [4300572.599000]  atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e02a <keycode>' to make it known.
[09:28] <rinzai-shu> La_PaRCa: i know
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  try just a litle above that line. it should mention the card.. of course the module may of allready been loaded.
[09:29] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, um above that is [4300572.458000]  atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e02a <keycode>' to make it known.
[09:29] <rockinchado> [4300572.599000]  atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xaa on isa0060/serio0).
[09:29] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  try     lsmod | grep rt2500
[09:29] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, i get this rt2500                150372  0
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> rockinchado,  its loaded then
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> and NO i dont know how to configure your wireless.
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> :P
[09:30] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, it doesn't show up in networking though
[09:30] <rockinchado> Dr_Willis, you know how to do that lol
[09:31] <Dr_Willis> ive had such bad experioence with wireless.. i spent a weekend running wires a few mo ago.
[09:31] <Dr_Willis> I think youve been running around in circles :P and now you reaize you got a different probblem. Lol.
[09:32] <Dr_Willis> may want to check the wiki/forims for that exact card.
[09:32] <rockinchado> ha uh ok

[09:34] <Dr_Willis> eZtaR,  i was thinking the kubuntu homepage gave me the 2 commands i had to type.

[09:34] <eZtaR> Hehe link? :p
[09:34] <eZtaR> I added his key and the other command
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> https://wiki.ubuntu.com//InstallingKDE

[09:39] <Tedd|1> Hi.
[09:39] <lowman62> no can do
[09:39] <silverton> SAM_theman, that looks really cool
[09:39] <DUNFreak> SAM_theman, I'll tell you what I think, it almost looks like a bad imitation of Windows Vista.
[09:39] <Tedd|1> Can anybody help me zip something?
[09:39] <SAM_theman> damn riht
[09:39] <Tedd|1> I'm trying to zip Final Fantasy Advent Children so I can put it on a disk.
[09:39] <DUNFreak> minus the brushed metal
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> Tedd|1,  you mean a dvd? or movie or what?
[09:40] <Tedd|1> Dr_Willis: It's just an .avi file.
[09:40] <Tedd|1> Dr_Willis: I need to zip it so I can fit it on a CD.
[09:40] <HymnToLife> nyone knows the shortut to show the menubar in xchat ?
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> Tedd|1,  you proberly are not going to get much compression out of it.
[09:40] <HymnToLife> I disabled it by accident
[09:40] <pashaw> Tedd|1,   video is already compressed   zipping it again wont do much   you could  break it into pieces
[09:41] <Tedd|1> OK.
[09:41] <Tedd|1> OK, I have no choice, I'll upload
[09:41] <Tedd|1> I still need to know how to zip it though
[09:41] <DUNFreak> Treve de plaisanteries, I need a bit of help.  How do I make them read/write to the root group (my normal users are grouped to root)
[09:41] <coder_> i guess a better question, is how do i get flash setup on an x86_64 box?
[09:41] <HymnToLife> !fat32
[09:41] <ubotu> [fat32]  http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab
[09:42] <DUNFreak> HymnToLife, what?
[09:42] <Tedd|1> Dr_Willis: I need to know how to zip to upload to my site. Don't care about bandwith. What is the command?
[09:42] <HymnToLife> DUNFreak > see the link ubotu gave
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> Tedd|1,    try 'zip'
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> :)
[09:43] <DUNFreak> HymnToLife, look I dont want to be rude but I'm no programmer, I have no clue what I'm supposed to do with that.
[09:43] <tonyyarusso> Why is it that wvdial has to be run with sudo?
[09:43] <DUNFreak> I'd much prefer a ubuntu guide or something on the web :P
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  use the umask, optiopns and perhaps the 'uid' and 'gid' options in the fstab.
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> depending on your exact needs.
[09:44] <DUNFreak> *sigh*
[09:44] <DUNFreak> ok lemme try to figure that out
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> a mounted fat32 file system has all the permissions set at mount time. with those options.
[09:45] <eruin> synaptic upgrading synaptic is always interesting to watch
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> I forget which man pagte they are documented in. man fstab, or man mount, under the vfat filesystem section/options
[09:45] <paulproteus|lapt> General announcement: I'm going to make some screencasts of common Ubuntu tasks, like enabling Universe in Synaptic.
[09:45] <eruin> the audioscrobbler support in banshee is fantastic :)
[09:45] <paulproteus|lapt> Anyone have any suggestions for things to screencast, or some other projects I could synergize with?
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  proberly covered in details in the wiki/forums also. :P but there may be a lot of hits/info/fluff
[09:45] <paulproteus|lapt> eruin: Same with AmaroK.
[09:46] <paulproteus|lapt> eruin: What does it do in banshee?
[09:46] <cmatheson> paulproteus|lapt: i know some of they ruby folks are using vnc2swf
[09:46] <stratovarius> how to play wmv files with vlc?
[09:46] <DjDarkman> hy ,i`m migrating from windows to ubuntu ,and i need a few alternatives ,can someone help me?
[09:46] <Xenguy> DjDarkman: just ask
[09:46] <cmatheson> !tell DjDarkman about anyone
[09:46] <eruin> paulproteus|lapt, same as in amarok I suspect - submitting your music ;)
[09:46] <DjDarkman> ok :)
[09:47] <stratovarius> cant someone help me?
[09:47] <tonyyarusso> !tell stratovarius about restrictedformats
[09:47] <DjDarkman> i need a file maneger program simmilar to total commander ,excludeing mc
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> DjDarkman,  'worker' 'gentoo' and a few otehrs.
[09:47] <Xenguy> DjDarkman: try krusader if your hardware if beefy
[09:47] <paulproteus|lapt> eruin: Oh, in amaroK it lets you have "dynamic playlists", so it dynamically gets suggestions from audioscrobbler and puts them at the end of your playlist.
[09:47] <tonyyarusso> paulproteus|lapt, Could you put a link to it in !taskscreencast or something so we can find them later?
[09:47] <cmatheson> DJ_Mirage: nautilus, gmc, rox-filer]
[09:47] <paulproteus|lapt> !taskscreencast
[09:47] <ubotu> paulproteus|lapt: Do they come in packets of five?
[09:48] <DjDarkman> k let` seee them
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> DJ_Mirage,  check freshmeat.net for 'norton commander' clones also.
[09:48] <eruin> paulproteus|lapt, that's pretty cool!
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> Gotta love the classic 2 pane file maangers
[09:48] <DUNFreak> HymnToLife, Dr_Willis : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions :P
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> mc - is the defacto standards.
[09:48] <Xenguy> DjDarkman: krusader is the best if you have fast hardware
[09:48] <paulproteus|lapt> eruin: I know, totally rocking. :)
[09:48] <jacekP> DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY mouse arrow disappears in Blender?
[09:48] <eruin> paulproteus|lapt, AS support only arrived in banshee cvs proper yesterday or so. I think I'll suggest that functionality :)
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  :P ive hacked eniough to know how to do it - lol.
[09:49] <paulproteus|lapt> tonyyarusso: What's taskscreencast?
[09:49] <DUNFreak> Dr_Willis, just pointing it out, it's easier for a noob to read that just pointing to the winmac_fstab file ;)
[09:50] <tonyyarusso> Seveas: Do you know how to make suggestions to the development team?  (Sorry for the personal ask.)
[09:50] <Evil_Whisper> anyone compiled wine 0.9.4 yet?
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  i think the bot should msg all peoole to check the wiki/forums first..  befor even asking a Question. :P but thats mean.
[09:50] <paulproteus|lapt> Whoa, Wine 0.9.4 is out?
[09:50] <Seveas> tonyyarusso, that depends on the suggestion, feel free to PM me
[09:50] <Evil_Whisper> Yep wine 0.9.4 is out
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  also it pays to learn what you are doing - and not rely on a script .
[09:50] <tonyyarusso> paulproteus|lapt, Seemed like a possible name for a factoid about what you're doing.  Nothing yet.
[09:50] <paulproteus|lapt> tonyyarusso: Ah, I see.
[09:51] <Evil_Whisper> But the binaries are currently being built so you have to compile it yourself.
[09:51] <eZtaR> Anyone up for giving me a complete idiots guide to installing KDE?
[09:51] <DUNFreak> Dr_Willis, true. But i'm a poor MS slave that's used to DOS and Windows. Asking me to understand fstab is quite a learning curve.
[09:51] <gnomefreak_away> is hotplug needed?
[09:51] <Evil_Whisper> I'm getting errors I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong
[09:51] <pashaw> eZtaR, i thought we finished this
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  throw off the chains of MS-Lemming-ZOmbie-hoood! and be free!
[09:52] <DUNFreak> hehe
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  it pays to learn the fundamentals of linux. then the rest is easy
[09:52] <eZtaR> pashaw, i thought i PMed you.. But now i've just registered my nick
[09:52] <pawel> has anyone ever played with a wacom tablet over a serial-usb adaptor?
[09:52] <pawel> on Ubuntu of course.
[09:52] <pashaw> eZtaR,  lol   ->  eZtaR,  i added the universe multiverse repos    but otherwise   its apt-get update     then apt-get kubuntu-desktop
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  then ya spend time figureing out what the disrto-makers did to make things 'idiot-friendly' thats then broke. :P
[09:53] <DUNFreak> Dr_Willis, do you have any idea why the "Disks Manager" just won't save the access path? everytime I change it to what I want (/media/data instead of /media/0\040GB\040Disk\040(hda5)) , it just doesn't save anything.
[09:53] <coder_> I need to add an entry to fstab that has a space in the shared directory name.  How can I do this?
[09:53] <pawel> or any wacom tablet user. ;)
[09:53] <hume> i installed mysql and phpmyadmin, but on pointing my browser to localhost/phpmyadmin it wants to download instad of running the php file - what to do?
[09:53] <coder_> do I singled quote the whole thing?
[09:53] <eZtaR> pashaw, it doesn't recognize apt-get kubuntu-desktop
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  Hmm.. not sure.. i tend to disable all auto-mounting and mount them where i want. and be done with it.
[09:54] <paulproteus|lapt> hume: You need to enable the PHP module.
[09:54] <eZtaR> pashaw, as a command
[09:54] <paulproteus|lapt> a2enmod php4
[09:54] <coder_> hume: you need to setup apache to execute php files
[09:54] <paulproteus|lapt> hume: That's for you.
[09:54] <pashaw> eZtaR,   1 sec
[09:54] <DUNFreak> Darn.
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  also dont use spaces in the filenames/paths if ay can help it. Lol.
[09:54] <hume> paulproteus|lapt, sorry didnt get that....?
[09:54] <DUNFreak> Dr_Willis, that's Ubuntu's fault. :P
[09:54] <paulproteus|lapt> hume: sudo a2enmod php4
[09:54] <FlimFlamMan> is smbmount supposed to be run by a non-root user?
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> DUNFreak,  i think its somthing to do with their automounter and the names from devfs not sure. :P i bypassed it.
[09:55] <paulproteus|lapt> hume: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/207
[09:55] <pashaw> eZtaR,   sorry i typo'd  i assumed a command in there            apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[09:55] <Manny> hi
[09:55] <cmatheson> -+++-
[09:55] <DUNFreak> I'll go command-line then, mount -a ;)
[09:55] <Manny> any plans to incorporate slime/cl-swank?
[09:55] <hume> paulproteus|lapt, says that module does not exist...?
[09:55] <Manny> there are debian packages available
[09:55] <paulproteus|lapt> hume: See the debian-administration URL
[09:56] <mondi> is upgrading to dapper worth it? I mean at its current state?
[09:56] <Evil_Whisper> mondi i wouldnt upgrade yet
[09:56] <paulproteus|lapt> http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/101 , too, hume
[09:57] <jenda> A little OT: I'm wondering. I would like to have 8 megs hosted somewhere, so that I can give people the URL (It's my own music). Does anyone know of a site that would host that with no fuss (something like an 8 meg pastebin would be what I'm looking for)
[09:57] <holycow> does ubuntu use grub stage 1.5 by any chance? just curious
[09:58] <eZtaR> pashaw, it asked me to do a   apt-get install -f so now it's downloading away :p
[09:58] <eZtaR> pashaw, It seems as if it's working :D
[09:58] <HymnToLife> jenda > www.yousendit.com
[09:58] <eZtaR> pashaw, Thanks a bundle dude :D
[09:59] <fractalmbrown> hello all
[09:59] <pashaw> eZtaR, cool  good luck
[09:59] <mondi> another question is there a way for me to export my toolbar from a gnome session to an xfce one?
[09:59] <jenda> HymnToLife: thanks again :)
[09:59] <fractalmbrown> is there a specific ubuntu support channel?
[09:59] <eZtaR> pashaw, Thanks :)
[09:59] <rockinchado> ok i've got a problem if i do modprobe rt2500    it shows nothing so its working fine but the ra0 doesn't show up when i do iwconfig             for my wireless card anyone help?
[09:59] <fractalmbrown> I need help setting up GRUB, and i'm having some boot issues
[09:59] <eZtaR> fractalmbrown, You're here
[09:59] <hume> paulproteus|lapt, sorry, dont really get it - where do I get the modules from? running a2enmod gives me "This module does not exist!"
[09:59] <fractalmbrown> ah, good
[09:59] <FlimFlamMan> how do i allow non-root users to mount their own smb shares with smbmount?
[09:59] <paulproteus|lapt> hume: apt-get install libapache2-php4
[10:00] <paulproteus|lapt> if I recall correctly.
[10:00] <fractalmbrown> eZtaR, do you know much about setting up a boot loader?
[10:00] <pashaw> jenda,   your own webpage at your isp    doesnt your isp include at least 10mb
[10:00] <eZtaR> fractalmbrown, not really.. But what do you need to set up?
[10:00] <hume> paulproteus|lapt, ah, well, that package does not exist, apt says....running breezy, just installed it
[10:01] <fractalmbrown> well, I have two harddrives: an 80 gig with two partitions, a 60 (boots into windows normally) and a 20 (extra space)
[10:01] <jenda> pashaw: it prolly does :) but I'm looking for something simpler. But that's where I will go if I do not find it.
[10:01] <fractalmbrown> the second harddrive is 250 gigs, with three partitions
[10:01] <fractalmbrown> 1.) a 160 for windows (NTFS)
[10:01] <fractalmbrown> 2.) a 89 for ubuntu
[10:01] <fractalmbrown> 3.) swap
[10:02] <fractalmbrown> I am trying to get GRUB to boot on my master (The 80 gig) and display two options, Ubuntu or Windows XP Home
[10:02] <waltz> If you have a non-native SCSI motherboard interface will Ubuntu not work?
[10:02] <fractalmbrown> however: when GRUB starts, I get an error 17
[10:02] <Evil_Whisper> anyone got a link to instructions on how to compile firefo?
[10:02] <Evil_Whisper> *firefox
[10:02] <fractalmbrown> and LILO only boots into a console
[10:02] <waltz> fractalmbrown: GRUB doesn't recognize Windows afaik.
[10:02] <hume> paulproteus|lapt, think I found it - but: is there a problem running php5 instead of php4?
[10:02] <tonyyarusso> Evil_Whisper, You trying to install 1.5?
[10:02] <fractalmbrown> waltz: what do you recommend then?
[10:03] <paulproteus|lapt> hume: I have no experience with PHP5.
[10:03] <paulproteus|lapt> Is it packaged?
[10:03] <DUNFreak> Ok I don't get it. If I open nautilus as root, my "data" drive is chmodded to 777. If I try to open nautilus as my normal user, it sais it's 755. WTF???
[10:03] <pashaw> waltz,   huh?
[10:03] <waltz> I recommend you not use Windows.
[10:03] <waltz> ;)
[10:03] <fractalmbrown> lol, no can do
[10:03] <fractalmbrown> my brother uses this computer as well, so that's out of the question
[10:03] <waltz> aha
[10:03] <bobbyd> hi
[10:03] <fractalmbrown> I need a boot menu, not a single OS
[10:03] <pashaw> fractalmbrown,   the basics now        did you move drives  from computer to comouter
[10:03] <fractalmbrown> no
[10:03] <fractalmbrown> I added the 250 as a slave
[10:03] <pashaw> fractalmbrown,   you installed everything as is
[10:03] <eruin> grub can boot windows just fine
[10:04] <fractalmbrown> pashaw, as is meaning what?
[10:04] <waltz> shrug
[10:04] <no0tic> kopete in dapper doesn't import msn avatars
[10:04] <DarkMan> Pashaw, installing  at 79 % at the moment  , first time  it came sofar
[10:04] <eruin> in fact, ubuntu sets up a grub menu item for windows if it detects an installed instance of it
[10:04] <pashaw> fractalmbrown,  your broken post was confusing
[10:04] <pashaw> DarkMan,   great to hear
[10:04] <DarkMan> and  still going
[10:04] <fractalmbrown> pashaw, I meant to say: what do you mean by "installed everything as is"?
[10:05] <DarkMan> hehehe :)
[10:05] <pashaw> fractalmbrown, im trying to understand  whats broken, why and  where your trying to go  your     mulitplpe posts didnt help
[10:05] <fractalmbrown> oh
[10:05] <fractalmbrown> my boot loader won't load, basically
[10:05] <pashaw> fractalmbrown,    ok so you had a working system then added a drive?
[10:06] <fractalmbrown> yes, and I successfully formatted a 160GB partition for NTFS
[10:06] <fractalmbrown> windows recognized it fine
[10:06] <fractalmbrown> then i tried to install ubuntu into the free space that was left
[10:06] <sudo_smartass> ok
[10:06] <sudo_smartass> well... the recovering thing didn't work... had to completely reinstall linux
[10:07] <pashaw> fractalmbrown,   ubuntu onto a drive  thats jumpered as slave now and not master?
[10:07] <nadya> Hi. How do I update kde?
[10:07] <fractalmbrown> yes, because I have no unformatted space on my master drive
[10:07] <_fredforfaen> does anybody know how to make rox automount and open a window with the files when media is inserted?
[10:07] <fractalmbrown> as far as I know, any drive should be able to be booted from
[10:08] <eZtaR> How do i get ubuntu to automatically mount my windows-partitions?
[10:08] <nadya> I followed the instructions on the website, which command do I have to execute that he fetches the packages and install them?
[10:08] <sudo_smartass> ok
[10:08] <_fredforfaen> !rox
[10:08] <ubotu> Wish i knew, _fredforfaen
[10:08] <nick01> what's the name of that package with gcc ?
[10:08] <sudo_smartass> how do i mount things again?
[10:08] <waltz> YouBoonToo! :x
[10:08] <pashaw> fractalmbrown,  so you start the installer and it all loads correctly?
[10:08] <fractalmbrown> yes
[10:08] <nick01> something with utils
[10:08] <Kyral> sudo_smartass: mount <mountpoint>
[10:08] <varsendagger>  sudo_smartass mount /dev/whatever /mnt/wherever
[10:09] <fractalmbrown> everything works perfectly until I try to boot from IDE0
[10:09] <_fredforfaen> anyone?
[10:09] <waltz> If you have a non-native SCSI motherboard interface i.e., you're using an IDE adapter card, will the Linux 2.6.x series kernel function properly?
[10:09] <nick01> how do I install gcc make and the rest ?
[10:09] <Kyral> nick01: sudo apt-get install build-essiential
[10:09] <nick01> tks
[10:09] <Kyral> and if it doesn't work I misspelled it
[10:09] <sudo_smartass> ahh
[10:09] <pashaw> fractalmbrown,   you allowed it to install grub right?
[10:09] <fractalmbrown> yes
[10:09] <tractica> hi
[10:10] <waltz> Can someone please answer my question? It's somewhat important.
[10:10] <pashaw> fractalmbrown,   but you said your getting a lilo prompt
[10:10] <sudo_smartass> it said mount point doesn't exist
[10:10] <sudo_smartass> ....
[10:10] <fractalmbrown> only if I boot from IDE1 (it was an experiment to see if LILO worked)
[10:10] <DjDarkman> i need an irc client simmilar to mirc
[10:10] <fractalmbrown> pashaw, IDE0 contains GRUB, IDE1 contains LILO
[10:10] <sudo_smartass> dj... ur using one
[10:10] <DjDarkman> please tell me some
[10:10] <tractica> does anybody use Beagle ?
[10:10] <DarkMan> pashaw, oke,  now  it crashed at  copy packages , because it says u may run out of disk space in the target /var filesystem.
[10:11] <waltz> Can someone please answer my question? It's somewhat important.
[10:11] <DjDarkman> sudo_smartass, but i need one simmilar to mirc ,x chat is not what i`m lookig 4
[10:11] <waltz> If you have a non-native SCSI motherboard interface i.e., you're using an IDE adapter card, will the Linux 2.6.x series kernel function properly?
[10:11] <DarkMan> how  can i read  the  syslog  at this  point ??
[10:11] <pashaw> DarkMan,    thats the 3.2G drive right
[10:11] <DarkMan> yeah
[10:11] <jenda> waltz: I don't see a reason why it shouldn't... but there is obviously no one around that REALLY knows :(
[10:11] <pashaw> DarkMan,   bummer      it needed  too much space for install
[10:12] <DarkMan> i'm now  back in main menu
[10:12] <waltz> jenda: aha, okay, thanks
[10:12] <DarkMan> yeah thought  so
[10:12] <sudo_smartass> jenda
[10:12] <sudo_smartass> lol
[10:12] <pashaw> DarkMan,    1 sec
[10:12] <DarkMan> oke
[10:12] <jenda> sudo_smartass: not funny :)
[10:12] <sudo_smartass> know anything about recovering from a virus?
[10:12] <MrRio> anyway of making java look like GTK2?
[10:12] <sudo_smartass> why not?
[10:12] <DjDarkman> ok ,then i ask in another way ,please write me a list of all available irc clinets 4 ubuntu
[10:12] <sudo_smartass> i think its funny
[10:12] <nadya> I JUST WANT TO UPDATE KDE?!
[10:12] <sudo_smartass> well cept for the virus thing... that sucks
[10:12] <hume> paulproteus|lapt, still got problems.....a2enmod php4 now says "already enabled" but still phpmyadmin wont show....got any more advice?
[10:13] <fractalmbrown> pashaw, you there?
[10:13] <pashaw> fractalmbrown,   easy skipper  thinking
[10:13] <fractalmbrown> pashaw, that's fine :)
[10:13] <sudo_smartass> how am i supposed to get stuff mounted... fstab and mtab say its mounted but i cant see them
[10:13] <DarkMan> found  this  on internet right now ,  mayby  this  the solution ?
[10:13] <sudo_smartass> cant get to them nothing
[10:13] <DarkMan> If you don't have yet an Xubuntu CD and you still want to install it (and install it fast), here is a step-by-step tutorial showing how is easy to get an Xubuntu box up and running.
[10:13] <paulproteus|lapt> hume: Did you restart Apache2 yet?
[10:13] <sudo_smartass> i cant even cd /media
[10:14] <sudo_smartass> tells me permission denied
[10:14] <fluvvell> hi all, just got a new wireless AP and went to connect, old system worked fine.  Fine without encryption, useless at getting wep to go some sucess with WPA-PSK however the link goes on and off in a 2 second cycle!
[10:14] <hume> paulproteus|lapt, yes, twice
[10:14] <fractalmbrown> pashaw, is there any way to edit GRUB's boot script/whatever...? I can't get into the so-called menu by pressing ESC as far as I can tell
[10:14] <fluvvell> using ipw2200 driver
[10:14] <paulproteus|lapt> hume: Hmm.
[10:14] <paulproteus|lapt> fractalmbrown: /boot/grub/menu.lst , iirc
[10:14] <fluvvell> anybody know about wpa_supplicant and which setting to change to stop the flip-flop
[10:15] <sudo_smartass> hey what is the fstab program thing again
[10:15] <fractalmbrown> paulproteus|lapt, what do you mean?
[10:16] <MrRio> how do i change the root user theme?
[10:16] <sudo_smartass> how did u get it to log you in as root?
[10:16] <Discipulus> System -> Preferences
[10:17] <Discipulus> sudo_smartass, it ain't hard
[10:17] <jpjacobs> just don't do it...
[10:17] <MrRio> MrRio: i mean for things like sudo synaptic
[10:17] <MrRio> it uses a different theme for that app
[10:17] <vodnik> let's just suppose - i have got linux installed on one partition and i have got one partition about the same size unused. what would happen, if I moved all the files from the partition with linux to the free partition?
[10:18] <MrRio> because ive changed my theme
[10:18] <MrRio> sudo gnome-theme-manager has no effect
[10:18] <fractalmbrown> paulproteus|lapt, I am currently in the Live CD of ubuntu, is it safe for me to enable access to the Extended 3 partition on my slave drive? (It was formatted by the Ubuntu install)
[10:18] <hume> paulproteus|lapt, what i've done is to run the asenmod php4 and then restart apache2 and restart my browser -- is there any other setting or package to deal with?
[10:18] <vodnik> or, rather - is it possible to kind of "back-up" installed system by just copying all its files to an external harddrive?
[10:19] <mz111> is there a menu editor that allows multiple menu items to be selected and moved?
[10:19] <tom> why does ddcprobe say "edidfail" at the end?
[10:19] <pashaw> DarkMan,   did you break the drive into partitons?  what sizes?
[10:19] <tonyyarusso> vodnik: You'd have to tell your bootloader how if you wanted  to boot into it, but otherwise it should work theoretically.  Oh, and make sure the other partition is the same filesystem type.
[10:19] <mjr> vodnik, yes; you'd need to reconfigure grub a bit (and the fstab) if you were going to boot it from there, though
[10:20] <Evil_Whisper> :(
[10:20] <DarkMan> chips,  i have  to  look at it ,lol   i used  aut  partition  hehehe,
[10:20] <Evil_Whisper> How do you remove menu entries?
[10:20] <Evil_Whisper> the delete option is always grey and you cant click it
[10:20] <DarkMan> will have a look
[10:20] <pramz> Does the version of samba included with Breezy support ldap backend ?
[10:21] <vodnik> good, i hoped it would be like that, have some experience with grub already...
[10:21] <mz111> does anyone else think the menu editor is awfull
[10:22] <Afief> My notebook has no floppy, how can i dual boot Ubuntu and WinXP anyway?
[10:22] <mz111> Afief: it will install a os picking boot loader on your hard disk
[10:23] <Afief> I had GRUB on my hard disk, but it didn't ask me about it when i installed
[10:23] <vodnik> one question to the grub though - where is it installed on a disk with more partitions? i would guess it will be somewhere at the beggining of harddrive, but I think I have once already maanged to delete it somehow when doing something with completely different partitions:-/
[10:24] <mz111> Afief: it probably installed a new copy of grub?
[10:24] <funkyHat> mz111, no, I think the menu editor is fine
[10:24] <holycow> guys, would anyone know how much of the original drive i haveto dd to make sure i grabbed grub stage 1.5?
[10:24] <mz111> funkyHat: it really sucks not being able to make multiple selections
[10:24] <mrkoje> vodnik,  wouldn't the bootloader be intalled in the hda0 (/boot) partition?
[10:25] <tonyyarusso> !info pymedia
[10:26] <djm62> holycow: is that still in 1.44mb?
[10:26] <DarkMan> arggg, i used  partion resizer to find out what size , and  now  system system  hangs
[10:26] <adrakoa> hi
[10:26] <DarkMan> lo
[10:26] <holycow> djm62, no i'm trying to back up an hd and restore it to another hd
[10:27] <MrRio> the trash button wont show my trash, but /home/rio/.Trash/ will
[10:27] <MrRio> any ideas?
[10:27] <adrakoa> i have a problem with sudo to write root passwd.. the message after sudo -> sudo: unable to lookup debian via gethostbyname() ... I don't know the passwd root... help
[10:27] <tonyyarusso> VNC question: Can you give someone the ability to browse your system, but not do anything potentially destructive, just to see what stuff's like?
[10:27] <vodnik> mrkoje - yes, it says it installs itself there... but it keeps data about the installed os on the partitions they are installed in, doesnot it? since there is a boot directory with lot of grub stuff
[10:27] <pashaw> DarkMan,  you did delete the entire drive righ?
[10:28] <Kyral> vodnik: if they login as a user that only has Read permissions
[10:28] <skon> tonyyarusso: just don't check the option that says "allow someone to control my com[puter"
[10:28] <DarkMan> yeah  when i  start  with the instalation
[10:28] <Kyral> whoops
[10:28] <Kyral> I means tonyyarusso not vodnik
[10:29] <Daemonic> hmm, is there an easy way to upgrade from 5.04 to 5.10?
[10:29] <tonyyarusso> Thanks skon and Kyral.
[10:29] <MrRio> Daemonic, yes, let me get u the link
[10:29] <pashaw> DarkMan,   try those boot commands again   but this time  manual partition  erase EVERYTHING  so its 1 pile of empty  add say 400-500mb swap  the rest ext3 mounted /
[10:29] <Kyral> I seriously have to come up with a sed statement to do that
[10:30] <pashaw> DarkMan,  how much ram does that system have?
[10:30] <DarkMan> 128 mb
[10:30] <pashaw> DarkMan,  try 400mb
[10:30] <Daemonic> MrRio: I run x64 btw. If that makes a difference.
[10:30] <fractalmbrown> pashaw, is there any way to access /boot/grub/menu.lst ? I can't figure out how to change the way that GRUB could load the partitions
[10:30] <MrRio> Daemonic: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgradeNotes
[10:31] <MrRio> Daemonic: shouldnt do
[10:31] <_RocH> cya
[10:31] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, sudo pico will work just fine, if I understand what you're trying to do.
[10:31] <DarkMan> oke  for  good  understandnes  ,  i  use  400 mb for  swap  and  the rest  for ext3  , right ?
[10:31] <Daemonic> MrRio: shouldn't do?
[10:31] <Daemonic> MrRio: ..and thanks for the link
[10:31] <lightbright> how do I update xchat from 2.4.4 to the latest version?
[10:31] <Fred> lol
[10:32] <Fred> oops
[10:32] <MrRio> Daemonic: lol, yeah  i mean, not that im aware of, but u may want to check
[10:32] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, where would I find sudo pico?
[10:32] <fractalmbrown> and install it for that matter?
[10:32] <tonyyarusso> lightbright, Probably apt-get install xchat.
[10:33] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Are you working with a default installation, or something special?
[10:33] <pashaw> tonyyarusso,  special
[10:33] <lightbright> tonyyarusso: is your real name Tony?
[10:33] <tonyyarusso> lightbright, Yes.
[10:33] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I'm unsure. I have a windows partition on IDE0, and a Ubuntu partition on IDE1
[10:34] <hume> trying to remove phpmyadmin i get error msgs from apt: /var/lib/dpkg/info/phpmyadmin.prerm: line 12: db_get: command not found
[10:34] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, IDE0 is a master and IDE1 is a slave
[10:34] <hume> anyone got advice?
[10:34] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, sudo and pico are separate commands, both programs available with apt.
[10:34] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, I mean how did Ubuntu get on the system?
[10:34] <lightbright> tonyyarusso: great name
[10:34] <lightbright> tonyyarusso: whats pico do?
[10:34] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I installed it from the install disc, using the default install
[10:35] <pashaw> fractalmbrown, i always keep my setups cleaner     i was trying to google anyone with a layout like yours
[10:35] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, You can check whether you have them by just trying to run sudo pico, and seeing if it spits out an error.
[10:35] <tonyyarusso> lightbright, It's a text-editor, I found it easier than vi.
[10:35] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Then you should already have both of those.
[10:35] <pashaw> tonyyarusso,  fractal  has grub  and lilo  and both are broken after he added his new drive
[10:36] <tonyyarusso> pashaw: Interesting.  Why both?
[10:36] <hume> anyone knows how to solv problem with removing packages?
[10:36] <pashaw> tonyyarusso,   thats why he has me stumped'
[10:36] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, keep in mind I know nothing about linux. I am lost as to what this "sudo pico" is
[10:36] <pashaw> tonyyarusso, im not sure why they both sorta work
[10:37] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Right.  No problem.  sudo is "Superuser Do", needed since the grub configuration file is not editable by a normal user.  pico is a text editor to open that file up.
[10:37] <pashaw> DarkMan,   sorry missed your post      yes
[10:37] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Any particular reason you have grub and lilo at the same time?
[10:38] <tonyyarusso> pashaw: Do we know which one's on the MBR?
[10:38] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I had tried installing Lilo as the booter for my slave drive to see if it would work. It didn't. It can't load things and boots into some console
[10:39] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, So, sudo pico /boot/grub/menu.lst says "Open up the grub menu file in a text editor with writing priviledges.
[10:39] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, where do i type sudo pico?
[10:39] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, so then you tried putting grub on to see if that was any better?
[10:40] <Mitja> I've install apache and php but instead of showing results of a php file it wants to download it? How do I correct this?
[10:40] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, In a command line, wherever you can access it.
[10:40] <rikai> hm... someone using one of my computers accidentally installed kubuntu-desktop, any easy way to remove all it and all its dependencies? apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop jsut removes that package, not all the ones it installed.
[10:40] <DarkMan> oke  pashaw  , no problem   hehehe  , i have all the time  , already  4 days  busy to get it on that  system ,lol
[10:40] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, no, grub was on initially, but lilo was installed afterwards
[10:40] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Can you boot anything?  Otherwise this would involve a Live CD.  (I wasn't following the beginning of your problem.)
[10:40] <DarkMan> all help  i like  hehehe
[10:40] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Okay.
[10:40] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I am using the live cd to chat with you right now.
[10:41] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Perfect.
[10:41] <Fred> Mitja: you need to enable the php module... try "a2enmod" in ssh/bash
[10:41] <dfd> hello
[10:41] <dfd> does ubuntu uses the same debian repositories?
[10:41] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, I use grub, so I think we'll try to work that out since I don't know much about lilo.
[10:41] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, ok.
[10:41] <tonyyarusso> dfd: No.
[10:41] <lightbright> tonyyarusso: vi is rather simple though
[10:41] <tonyyarusso> dfd: It has all of its own.
[10:42] <tonyyarusso> lightbright, That may be true, just not my flavor I guess.
[10:42] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I don't think I can access anything other than my IDE1's swap partition
[10:42] <dfd> I see
[10:42] <dfd> thanks
[10:42] <und> ubuntu is awesome
[10:42] <XiCillin> agreed
[10:42] <jenda> und: you got that right
[10:42] <lightbright> tonyyarusso: a text editor is just a text editor :P
[10:43] <lightbright> und: what do you like about it?
[10:43] <hume> anyone knows how to handle apt errors on removing packages? cant install and not remove....
[10:43] <Mitja> Fred: still the same, module enabled now...
[10:43] <Fred> Mitja, did you /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload ?
[10:43] <lightbright> hume: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325
[10:43] <und> lightbright, its a good Os for someone like me (i do code a lot)
[10:43] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, You're going to need to access to /boot to deal with grub, so let's try to get that.
[10:43] <Mitja> Fred: yes
[10:43] <lightbright> und: what type of code?
[10:44] <und> c++, python
[10:44] <stratovarius> hey how to play wmv file with wmv?
[10:44] <lightbright> und: so what linux c++ compiler you using now?
[10:44] <stratovarius> *with vlc sorry
[10:44] <und> g++ ...
[10:44] <Evil_Whisper> how do I make my fonts look smooth and stuff for my QT applications like they are in gnome?
[10:44] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows for steps for getting access to the disk in your live environment.
[10:44] <Fred> Mitja, check your pm ;)
[10:44] <lightbright> stratovarius: http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html
[10:44] <khalil3664> i got my game installed but when i double click on it screen goes black , refreshes and comes back to ubuntu , Any one can help ?
[10:45] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, fdisk or cfdisk will give you information about the disks you have.
[10:45] <lightbright> und: where can I see your work?
[10:45] <hume> lightbright, you mean for me to paste the error there?
[10:45] <herrpoons> hi can someone help to change from GNOME to fluxbox?
[10:45] <herrpoons> what would the best way to go aobut it be?
[10:45] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, does it matter that Ubuntu was installed after windows as opposed to vice versa?
[10:45] <hume> herrpoons, install fluxbox, and it will appear in the session menu in gdm
[10:45] <lightbright> hume: no, use that sources.list
[10:45] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, The terminal emulator is in the same menu as normally on the Live session, Applications > Accessories > Terminal (for Breezy).
[10:45] <herrpoons> right so
[10:46] <herrpoons> thanks
[10:46] <herrpoons> ill try that now :)
[10:46] <lightbright> und: where can I see your work and application that you have created with c++?
[10:46] <hume> lightbright, well...still i got a broken package on my system and cannot get it removed....or?
[10:46] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, terminal is started
[10:46] <stratovarius> lightbright, I have already done that steps
[10:46] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Not for this part.  Only go through the "Before you begin" and "Preparing your working environment" sections for now.
[10:46] <und> it's on my pc
[10:46] <stratovarius> but I cant play a wmv in a preview mode with amule
[10:47] <lightbright> stratovarius: http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html
[10:47] <lightbright> hume: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325
[10:47] <lightbright> hume: use that sources.list!  then do apt-get update
[10:47] <khalil3664> i got my game installed but when i double click on it screen goes black , refreshes and comes back to ubuntu , Any one can help ?
[10:47] <stratovarius> lightbright, I tokld you I've already done that steps
[10:47] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, ok, i'm in the root dir
[10:47] <stratovarius> *those
[10:47] <lightbright> stratovarius: well do them EXACTLY as is, because i did and it works for me
[10:48] <lightbright> stratovarius: whenever it doesnt work , it means someone missed a step
[10:48] <lightbright> stratovarius: you installed w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb?
[10:48] <stratovarius> lightbright, I can play every kind of video file but no wmv
[10:48] <stratovarius> lightbright, yes I did
[10:49] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, what "hda#" should I use for mounting it?
[10:49] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, If you do all of those two sections correctly, and chose the right devices, you should be able to browse everything on your disks as you would expect them.
[10:49] <lightbright> stratovarius: whenever it doesnt work , it means someone missed a step!  because it works for me and others
[10:49] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, That's where fdisk comes in.
[10:49] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Do fdisk -l hda
[10:50] <dailyrorschach> hey, after downloading a theme for gnome, where do I need to extract it and how do i install it/
[10:50] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, it didn't do anything
[10:50] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Ideally, you can tell which disk is which by their size; it's a bit tricky if they're the same.
[10:50] <fractalmbrown> if I type fdisk -l it gives me a list though
[10:50] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Uh, really?
[10:50] <Kyral> dailyrorschach: just go to the Theme chooser thing and select Install Theme, then select the tarball from the filebrowser
[10:50] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Okay, what's on the list?
[10:51] <dailyrorschach> Kyral: thanks, I was trying to select the file outside of the tarball
[10:51] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, sda1 which is my removable flash disk
[10:51] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, as well as...
[10:51] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Oh, right, my fault.
[10:51] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, hda which is my master and hdb which is my slave
[10:52] <fractalmbrown> /dev/hda1   *           1        7383    59303916    7  HPFS/NTFS
[10:52] <fractalmbrown> is that the one I want?
[10:52] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, So the grub menu we want at is on the master, right?
[10:52] <fractalmbrown> yup
[10:53] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, NTFS?  Is grub installed under Windows?
[10:53] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, What other partitions are on hda?
[10:53] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, it is installed on the C:\ partition, corret
[10:53] <fractalmbrown> *correct
[10:53] <fractalmbrown> um
[10:53] <fractalmbrown> hda1, hda2, hda5
[10:54] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I'll msg it to you
[10:54] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Oy.  Okay.
[10:54] <Malachi> Hello? Question.
[10:54] <slide> Is there any kind of extension for thunderbird that removes the taskbar button and replaces it with a systray icon instead?
[10:55] <dailyrorschach> does anyone have a dell latitude d600, the system says I'm running 1280 x 768, but it looks like 800 x 600
[10:55] <Hobbsee> slide: moztraybiff - which version of ubuntu are you running?
[10:55] <lightbright> slide: you can write one
[10:55] <ph8> hello all, i've managed to botch some of my /etc file permissions with a liberal chmod - now (assuming this is related) I can't open gnomes user and group manager - any ideas how i can get all my perms corrected?
[10:55] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, it won't let me pm you lol
[10:55] <fractalmbrown> just a sec
[10:55] <slide> Hobbsee, , 5.10
[10:55] <Malachi> I can't run anything under the System-->Administration menu
[10:55] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso /dev/hda1   *           1        7383    59303916    7  HPFS/NTFS
[10:55] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso /dev/hda2            7384        9729    18844245    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
[10:55] <slide> lightbright, yea i could, but ive got enough code to write atm heh
[10:55] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso /dev/hda5            7384        9729    18844213+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[10:55] <fractalmbrown> those are my hda partitions
[10:55] <Kyral> Malachi: it would help if you said what the error was
[10:55] <lightbright> slide: :)
[10:55] <Hobbsee> slide: http://moztraybiff.mozdev.org/
[10:55] <Malachi> There isn't one.
[10:56] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, I wasn't identified.  Am now.
[10:56] <fractalmbrown> I don't know what the W95 Ext'd (LBA) is
[10:56] <slide> Hobbsee, thanks :)
[10:56] <Malachi> When I click a command under the menu, nothing happens.
[10:56] <Hobbsee> slide: although i dont think that will install under 5.10, it did under 5.04.  I have a compiled version for 5.10 that works, that i could send to you if you want
[10:56] <Kyral> Malachi: no password box comes up?
[10:56] <Malachi> No.
[10:56] <Malachi> Nothing.
[10:56] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I posted the partitions if you didn't notice. :)
[10:56] <slide> Hobbsee, yea thatd be great
[10:56] <Kyral> Malachi: does sudo work?
[10:56] <Malachi> Yes.
[10:56] <XiCillin> is there a way to bind the 'windows' key to pull down the applications menu on gnome?
[10:57] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Saw them.
[10:57] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, ok
[10:57] <Kyral> Malachi: is the root account enabled?
[10:57] <Malachi> Yes.
[10:57] <Kyral> Malachi: that could be it
[10:57] <rikai> hm... someone using one of my computers accidentally installed kubuntu-desktop, any easy way to remove all it and all its dependencies? apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop jsut removes that package, not all the ones it installed.
[10:57] <Malachi> Ah.
[10:57] <Malachi> Do I have to disable it?
[10:57] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, I'm pondering, as I'm not familiar with grub being under Windows.
[10:57] <Kyral> Malachi: disable the root account and see if that fixes it
[10:57] <Malachi> Okay...
[10:57] <Malachi> Um....how?
[10:57] <rikai> *is there an easy way
[10:57] <Malachi> >.<
[10:57] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Do you know what's one the Master Boot Record?
[10:57] <Kyral> I actually have to look this one up
[10:57] <Kyral> Malachi: gimme a sec
[10:57] <fractalmbrown> the MBR is hda1
[10:58] <skon> Xicillin: go to System:Preferences:Keyboard shortcuts
[10:58] <lightbright> rikai hm... someone using one of my computers accidentally installed kubuntu-desktop <--- they "accidently" installed it? :P lol
[10:58] <XiCillin> skon: thanks
[10:58] <Kyral> Malachi: sudo passwd -l root
[10:58] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, the master boot record is the first partition (hda1)
[10:58] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, So grub is still installed to MBR, but it's config file is on the Windows partition.
[10:58] <dailyrorschach> anyone have experience with laptop displays.  namely, my resolution is stuck at 800 x 600 but the resolution menu believes I'm set to 1280 x 760, and can I change contrast anywhere
[10:59] <rikai> lightbright, kid with idle hands enjoy clicking things they shouldn't.
[10:59] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, it gives me an error 17
[10:59] <Daemonic> Is there a package available for bmp themes?
[10:59] <rikai> lightbright, that'll teach me to leave synaptic open.
[10:59] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Does it say what error 17 is?
[10:59] <lightbright> rikai: what do they click to install kubuntu-desktop? :)
[10:59] <Malachi> Ah okay.
[10:59] <Malachi> I found that right as you said it.
[10:59] <Malachi> Thanks! I'll try it.
[10:59] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I googled it and apparently it happens when it can't mount a partition, but it recognizes it, but can't load it
[10:59] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, it knows that the partition exists, but is unable to mount it, afaik
[11:00] <lightbright> Kyle_S: what does  sudo passwd -l root do?
[11:00] <jack|ass> so has the new version of x.org been ported to ubuntu yet?
[11:00] <Kyral> lightbright: locks the RootAccount
[11:00] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Okay, we'll see what we can do with that.
[11:00] <Kyral> jack|ass: Breezy? No and it won't
[11:00] <jack|ass> Kyral: what about the... what's the current unstable?
[11:00] <skon> Does anyone know a tool (I own PartitionCommander for windows btw) that will let me expand my ext2 partition and decrease my ntfs partition, non destructively??? P.C. lets me decrease the ntfs but won't let ext2 claim that free space
[11:00] <trinidad> i have updated my kernel, however, after reboot with grub, my kernel is not on selection menu
[11:00] <trinidad> ?
[11:00] <trinidad> can someone help
[11:01] <Kyral> jack|ass: dapper?
[11:01] <rikai> lightbright, hm? they managed to install it though synaptic. how? i dont know, other than i had left synaptic open... i MIGHT have done a search for kubuntu while looking for something, but i'm not sure.
[11:01] <lightbright> Kyral: what you mean it locks it?
[11:01] <jack|ass> Kyral: Dapper?  What's the animal to go wiht that?  :)  But yeah.
[11:01] <lightbright> rikai: :)
[11:01] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Where is menu.lst on the drive?  (What's the path equivalent to /boot/grub/menu.lst?)
[11:01] <Kyral> jack|ass: I don't think so...my updates haven't jumped X to 7.0 yet
[11:01] <DarkMan> pashaw, i'm going to  sleep  now,  for  now already tnx  for  your time  and  help . will see u later :):):)
[11:01] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, hang on, I must mount it first
[11:01] <rikai> lightbright, anywho, i dont suppose yo would know how to reverse the effect? ;)
[11:02] <Kyral> lightbright: it literally locks the account. According to man passwd
[11:02] <slew> hi. do i need to install the new xorg or can it wait till dapper?
[11:02] <burning_bronx> jack|ass, it's Dapper Drake
[11:02] <pashaw> DarkMan,  later
[11:02] <DarkMan> laters
[11:02] <lightbright> rikai: yes I do
[11:02] <jack|ass> Kyral: Dapper is usable though?
[11:02] <tonyyarusso> skon: The partitioner in the Ubuntu install lets you do that stuff.
[11:02] <rikai> lightbright, mind enlightening me, please?
[11:02] <burning_bronx> Dapper is usable but it may lead to a boot
[11:02] <Malachi> Problem still.
[11:02] <trinidad> tonyyarusso::> so what happens when you need to partition when your not installing?
[11:02] <Malachi> Now I'm getting a familiar error.
[11:02] <jack|ass> burning_bronx: lead to a boot?
[11:02] <lightbright> rikai: type "sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop"
[11:02] <Kyral> jack|ass: Eh...if you don't know how to get yourself out of a bind or mind X breaking or anything breaking for that matter ;P
[11:02] <jack|ass> burning_bronx: like having to reboot?
[11:02] <burning_bronx> I meant
[11:02] <burning_bronx> lead to a breakage
[11:02] <burning_bronx> sorry
[11:02] <Malachi> unable to lookup via gethostbyname()
[11:03] <burning_bronx> my brain is out for the night
[11:03] <Parti> hi guys...
[11:03] <lightbright> Malachi: dont tell me you typed sudo passwd -l root, did you???
[11:03] <tonyyarusso> trinidad, You run the install disk in a different mode, and apparently that works.
[11:03] <rikai> lightbright, alrighty, that shouldnt have any detrimental effects on anything that was installed before kubuntu-desktop, should it?
[11:03] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I can't mount it, it doesn't give any errors but it doesn't give me any results
[11:03] <jack|ass> Kyral: hah, well i know how to, although i'm waiting for it to be not as bleeding edge as breezy was when i started using it. :)
[11:03] <burning_bronx> hello again Parti
[11:03] <trinidad> yes i see
[11:03] <Kyral> lightbright: He disabled it
[11:03] <tonyyarusso> trinidad, Not sure of the details, since I haven't tried it.
[11:03] <lightbright> rikai: look, it will tell you
[11:03] <Parti> yeah, hello again! :D
[11:03] <Malachi> I did....
[11:03] <Parti> I reconnected at 3 AM
[11:03] <Kyral> lightbright: because it was messing with the GUI Admin
[11:03] <Malachi> .................
[11:03] <Parti> and nobody was here ><
[11:03] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, nevermind, i can see my contents of the disk
[11:03] <Kyral> Malachi: look in /etc/hosts
[11:03] <lightbright> Kyral: ah ok
[11:04] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, No error means it works, right?  Good stuff.
[11:04] <jack|ass> Kyral: do you happen to know the version of the glx server that's being used in the current dapper build?  (glxinfo | grep version)
[11:04] <lightbright> patrick_: hello, how is your life?
[11:04] <Malachi> ?
[11:04] <rikai> lightbright, hm, i tried htat command, and it did the same hing as a normal sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop...
[11:04] <rikai> *that
[11:04] <pashaw> Parti,   didnt you use  little "p" parti
[11:04] <Malachi> Nothing there except networking stuff.
[11:04] <lightbright> rikai: ask someone else then
[11:04] <Malachi> Just had to configure it about two minutes ago, so I know.
[11:04] <Ozman> re
[11:04] <Parti> Yep, I did use non-capital p, before.
[11:04] <Kyral> Malachi: the first line should be "<IP_ADDRESS>       localhost.localdomain   localhost <something>"
[11:04] <herrpoon> im using fluxbox now
[11:05] <herrpoon> its rather bare!
[11:05] <Malachi> No, I changed it.
[11:05] <herrpoon> to say the least
[11:05] <Ozman> concernant les gdesklets, vous aviez raison ils ne se lancent pas au dmarrage
[11:05] <Parti> But I though that with the capital P, it looks better :P
[11:05] <Kyral> Malachi: to what?
[11:05] <Ozman> sorry
[11:05] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, eh, there is no .lst file
[11:05] <pashaw> Parti,   it doesnt  :P
[11:05] <nick01> I compiled a new kernel and now the sound doesn't work- alsaconf is not working either
[11:05] <Malachi> It's now 192.*.* localhost.localdomain blah blah blah
[11:05] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, there is a boot.ini
[11:05] <Parti> oh...
[11:05] <Parti> ok ><
[11:05] <nick01> how do I get sound \?
[11:05] <Parti> haha
[11:05] <Parti> BRB
[11:05] <Kyral> Malachi: change it to that format
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Good enough for me.
[11:05] <Malachi> If I change it to <IP_ADDRESS> I get no internet.
[11:05] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, it's Window's own bootloader
[11:05] <Kyral> Malachi: From what I have observed, sudo somehow uses the loopback, which means it needs...
[11:06] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I don't know the syntax though
[11:06] <Malachi> Ah.
[11:06] <Malachi> Okay.
[11:06] <Malachi> I'll try it.
[11:06] <parti> ok. Here I am :)
[11:06] <Kyral> Malachi: are you on Broadband?
[11:06] <ossie> Hi yall
[11:06] <pashaw> parti,   much better  :P
[11:06] <skon> tonyarusso: thanks
[11:06] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, pastebin it.  I don't either, but maybe something will become obvious.
[11:06] <skon> didnt use it yet
[11:06] <nick01> I compiled a new kernel and now the sound doesn't work- alsaconf is not working either so no sound; can somebody help ?
[11:06] <parti> ha ha ha :D
[11:06] <dailyrorschach> does anyone have experience with messing aroudn with xorg.conf, my display is a native 1280x768, but ubuntu is showing it as a 800 x 600 even though the display panel says otherwise
[11:06] <fractalmbrown> alright
[11:06] <Kyral> nick01: seems like you didn't compile in support for your card ;P
[11:07] <Malachi> Yes.
[11:07] <parti> pashaw & bunrning_B... I got a huge problem now....  I killed WIndows !!
[11:07] <Malachi> But I'm using VMWare.
[11:07] <nick01> Kyral, I have
[11:07] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, I'm guessing though that there's a grub file somewhere, that then specifies to chainload the Windows one, so keep searching for something grub-related, even though it might not be menu.lst.
[11:07] <Kyral> Malachi: for Ubuntu?
[11:07] <burning_bronx> parti, what you mean you killed windows?
[11:07] <ossie> hi can some here have alook at a shell script im writing if i post it on pastebin, please, as i cant see why this dont work, im used to suse scripting
[11:07] <pashaw> parti,   thats not a problem thats a solution
[11:07] <parti> ha ha ha ha !!
[11:07] <tonyyarusso> parti: That's a problem?  j/k!
[11:07] <parti> LOL
[11:07] <burning_bronx> he's right you know
[11:07] <Malachi> Windows as Host, Ubuntu as Guest.
[11:07] <burning_bronx> >.>
[11:07] <Malachi> I have to...work requires it.
[11:07] <Ralken> DarkMan, hi its me agian do you remember me from earlier today?
[11:07] <Malachi> Requires XP.
[11:07] <turnpike420> format is not in ubuntu... what do I use to format a newly created ext3 partition
[11:07] <Kyral> Malachi: I ah
[11:07] <raj> anyone got the freenx working on UBUNTU??
[11:07] <pashaw> dailyrorschach, is it full screen right now?
[11:07] <parti> Well, I still need windows sometimes ><
[11:08] <nick01> Kyral, how do I install alsaconf ? alsa-utils is installed
[11:08] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, http://pastebin.com/477049
[11:08] <Ralken> DarkMan, I tried to send you a copy of the config but I guess you were afk
[11:08] <Kyral> Malachi: did you check the option to let the VM use the Net Connecton (whichever it is)
[11:08] <Malachi> And even so, the sudo passwd -l root still doesn't work.
[11:08] <parti> Anyway
[11:08] <coder_> i tried removing firefox x86_64 and installing i386 deb packages and the dpkg install didnt work.  So i apt-get install mozilla-firefox, and now firefox can't resolve fonts
[11:08] <parti> I a ubuntu27 in the Ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=599935&postcount=7
[11:08] <Ozman> is someone here can explain to me how start the gdesklets automatically  ?
[11:08] <Malachi> Option?
[11:08] <burning_bronx> parti, I need winboze for work too
[11:08] <dailyrorschach> pashaw,  nope
[11:08] <Malachi> It's configured for nat.
[11:08] <parti> Yeah, me too ><
[11:08] <coder_> no text for anything!
[11:08] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   think i can help ya  my laptop did the same thing
[11:08] <parti> Could you take a look at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=599935&postcount=7
[11:08] <Malachi> By the way, I'm using Player, not Workstation
[11:09] <soundray> turnpike420, how did you create your ext3 partition?
[11:09] <Kyral> Malachi: nevermind then I only have experiance with WorkStation
[11:09] <Terrasque> any wow players here?
[11:09] <Kyral> WoW is EVIL
[11:09] <dailyrorschach> pashaw, I'd really apprecaite this, it's really annoying, it claims to be at 1280 x 768 but I know its not
[11:09] <ossie> http://pastebin.com/477050 , can anyone see why this dont work it complains of not being able to see the nzb files even though they are there
[11:09] <Ralken> I'm having problems getting swat to work under ubuntu are there any known issues with it?
[11:09] <Malachi> Well, I changed it back to <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:09] <Malachi> But still I get the error.
[11:09] <nick01> how do I get sound back ?
[11:09] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   yeah  finding the changes i made
[11:09] <Kyral> Malachi: you may have to reboot the VM
[11:09] <Daemonic> Should I give up hope for a working flash pluging for x64?
[11:09] <Terrasque> Kyral, I know... but I'm addicted :(
[11:09] <Malachi> Mmm.
[11:10] <Kyral> Malachi: I don't know much about VMWaring Ubuntu
[11:10] <DarkMan> Ralken i'm back now  for  a  min
[11:10] <parti> ... :(
[11:10] <Kyral> Malachi: I was working on the assumption that you had a HD install
[11:10] <DarkMan> hiya
[11:10] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Yeah, there's gotta be another file somewhere.
[11:10] <burning_bronx> well parti what did you use to resize winboze?
[11:10] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Have you searched for "grub" on the drive?
[11:10] <Ralken> DarkMan, yeah I only got a min as well gotta get a last minute gift lol
[11:10] <Malachi> Ah.
[11:10] <parti> Partition magick 8, since I couldn't resize the partition using Gparted nor QTparted.
[11:10] <Malachi> I don't like VMWaring.
[11:10] <pashaw> !pastebin
[11:11] <ubotu> hmm... pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[11:11] <turnpike420> soundray: fdisk /dev/sda  n  p
[11:11] <DarkMan> hehehe   just  for  crishtmas ,lol
[11:11] <burning_bronx> weird enough
[11:11] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I think it's in the actual boot sector
[11:11] <soundray> Daemonic, please bother Macromedia about it before you give up. They should release a 64bit version, or, better yet, the source.
[11:11] <Ralken> DarkMan, I have the config you wanna take a look
[11:11] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, not a file on the harddrive
[11:11] <turnpike420> soundray: well, with sudo in front... then w to write and exit
[11:11] <Malachi> Ack! I can't run sudo at all now.
[11:11] <ossie> http://pastebin.com/477050 , can anyone see why this dont work it complains of not being able to see the nzb files even though they are there
[11:11] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Ah.  Sounds plausible.
[11:11] <DarkMan> u can mail me  if u want<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:11] <Daemonic> soundray: perhaps I should email them with a complaint.
[11:11] <soundray> turnpike420, so you made a partition of the entire disk?
[11:11] <Ralken> DarkMan, is it ok to DCC it to you ?
[11:11] <Daemonic> soundray: not that they'd listen...
[11:12] <turnpike420> soundray: yup
[11:12] <Terrasque> well, anyway, I've cooked together an extremely crude .deb package of a modified wine capable of running WoW. And I wanted some feedback on it :) If it works on other installations, for example.. And also getting all my mistakes pointed out :)
[11:12] <turnpike420> soundray: 120GB external firewire drive
[11:12] <soundray> Daemonic, not to you alone, but I'll complain too, and with rising numbers, who knows...
[11:12] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Think you can figure out how to modify the lines to fit a Windows disk to finish the "Prepare your working environment" section of that page?
[11:12] <pashaw> dailyrorschach, look at this  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6083
[11:12] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, huh?
[11:12] <DarkMan> u can try,  i  don't know  exactly if  all works  at the moment  , bevccause  i  only  have  ubuntu  for  a  week on my own system , have  to configureer  everything
[11:12] <soundray> turnpike420, the command you are looking for is probably 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/sda1'.
[11:13] <Daemonic> soundray: true. we need to get together and unite in our harrassing efforts.. can't ignore everyone. ;)
[11:13] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Remember the link I gave you earlier?
[11:13] <DonVincenzo> hi, I would like tochange the ownership of some files from root to a normal user, how can I do ?
[11:13] <parti> :(
[11:13] <Ralken> DarkMan, I sent it
[11:13] <turnpike420> soundray: and -j makes an ext2 format as ext3 correct?
[11:13] <Daemonic> soundray: I want my media.. but I don't want to revert to a 32bit distro. This x64 is just too fast/nice.
[11:13] <soundray> turnpike420, please read 'man mke2fs' though.
[11:13] <Terrasque> DonVincenzo, chown
[11:13] <coder_> could someone paste me a url for a backport address for sources.list?
[11:13] <soundray> turnpike420, that's correct.
[11:13] <Ralken> DarkMan, Ill e-mail it too you then cause its not showing you accepting the transfer
[11:13] <turnpike420> soundray: good, then I did learn something from reading.. :p
[11:14] <DonVincenzo> Terrasque: thanks
[11:14] <stram> is there some type of net install that will allow me to install 6.04 via CD currently?
[11:14] <DarkMan> oke  tnx  m8ty
[11:14] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   and this  here http://wiki.x.org/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html   scroll down to the DISPLAY section
[11:14] <ossie> sorry to keep on anyone can help with this http://pastebin.com/477050
[11:14] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, I wan't to see if grub is able to recover itself automatically.
[11:14] <dailyrorschach> pashaw:  looking right now
[11:14] <dailyrorschach> I want to show you something on pastebin however
[11:14] <turnpike420> soundray++
[11:14] <turnpike420> soundray: thank you sir
[11:15] <tonyyarusso> stram: You can burn an ISO from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-2/, is that what you mean?
[11:15] <Terrasque> ossie, what's the problem exactly?
[11:15] <stram> tonyyarusso: yeah, thanks!
[11:15] <Ozman> nobody knows how to start the gdesklets automatically ?
[11:15] <Seveas> Ozman, add gdesklets to your session
[11:15] <soundray> Daemonic, the free software purist's route would be to support SVG and SMIL instead of Flash, I reckon.
[11:15] <coder_> Ozman: system-> sessions
[11:15] <Seveas> system -> prefs -> session
[11:15] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: this is what I currently have under my screen section
[11:15] <ossie> when i paste the command in manually it gives permission error even with sudo or fakeroot
[11:15] <soundray> turnpike420, any time :)
[11:16] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   add the subsection "display" like i did   but change your   virtual and "Modes"  to your real resolution
[11:16] <funkyHat> Ozman, system > preferences > session
[11:16] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   dont paste it here use pastebin
[11:16] <pashaw> !pastebin
[11:16] <ubotu> rumour has it, pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[11:16] <dailyrorschach> I did
[11:16] <Daemonic> soundray: yeah. I just want everything to work. ;)
[11:16] <ossie> any idoes Terrasque
[11:16] <Sh4d0x> help me!!
[11:16] <Ralken> DarkMan, I just sent it via e-mail
[11:16] <dailyrorschach> I just didnt send it crap
[11:16] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d6084
[11:16] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso,  I'm trying to figure this out
[11:16] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso,  is there any way to restart and do this terminal thing from the beginning?
[11:17] <DonVincenzo> is anyone here using gtkpod ?
[11:17] <Terrasque> ossie, yeah, check permissions :o)  is the filesystems mounted rw btw?
[11:17] <Ozman> thx I'll try
[11:17] <ossie> yes its my system partion
[11:17] <Sh4d0x> i installed a theme (which is ugly) and every time i try to open my thema managers to change current ugly theme it crashes
[11:17] <Sh4d0x> pleeaase somebody help :(:( i'm in no mood for a format
[11:17] <ossie> but i cant do it with sudo or fake or even sudo fakeroot
[11:17] <soundray> Sh4d0x, Gnome?
[11:17] <Sh4d0x> soundray uhu
[11:18] <Terrasque> Sh4d0x, you could nuke your .gnome/.gnome2 folder
[11:18] <ossie> what u think Terr
[11:18] <xenex> anyone here use netgear wg511v2 (china version) with ubuntu?
[11:18] <ossie> what u think Terrasque
[11:18] <soundray> Sh4d0x, no need to format, but... (see Terrasque)
[11:18] <Sh4d0x> soundray ooo thnxx you are my hero (k)
[11:18] <DarkMan> just got it   ralken , downloadig  from hotmail now
[11:18] <soundray> Terrasque, it won't work though...
[11:18] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Yes.  How depends on exactly what you mean.  If it just looks cluttered, use "clear" or close the window and open another.  If you mean you think you've messed up how you've done some things on the system, my best bet it shutdown and restart the Live CD, which will undo all of the non-permanent things done, and I don't think you did anything permanent.
[11:19] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, ooh, this is ugly. I had a folder called C:\dev, and the recovery page told me to mount something to \mnt\work\dev
[11:19] <Sh4d0x> terrasque, can you tell me exactly what i have to do?
[11:19] <Terrasque> soundray, it wont?
[11:19] <soundray> Sh4d0x, it won't work though...
[11:19] <makkk> is there a way to get pygtk to work with python2.3?
[11:19] <soundray> Terrasque, sorry...
[11:19] <nickrud> Sh4d0x, applications->system->config editor, then navigate to desktop/gnome/interface , you can change the themes there
[11:19] <xenex> I need help. I haven't installed Ubuntu yet but I have read on the forums saying WG511v2 (China) is hard to work. Can anyone tell me step by step how to do this?
[11:19] <Ralken> DarkMan, k if I go afk can you e-mail me your response
[11:19] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Why is that a problem?
[11:19] <soundray> Sh4d0x, unless you log out first and do it from a console or non-Gnome session.
[11:19] <cmatheson> xenex: are you talking about chinese input?
[11:19] <Terrasque> ossie, dont know enough about your system to know, sorry
[11:19] <xenex> cmatheson: yes i have the china version
[11:19] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, now there's a bunch of files in my C:\dev folder
[11:19] <soundray> Sh4d0x, otherwise Gnome just writes back its current config on exit.
[11:19] <Ralken> is there a way to show everyone else that your afk
[11:20] <DarkMan> sure  i will do that
[11:20] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, meaning, the tutorial assumes I'm working in a unix file system, which I'm not
[11:20] <cmatheson> xenex: i use it everyday (i'm using traditional, but it's the same setup either way)... it's really trivial to set up
[11:20] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Of what sort?
[11:20] <Sh4d0x> soundray, from no one i'll never ever install an other theme!!
[11:20] <Sh4d0x> *now
[11:20] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, True.
[11:20] <DarkMan>  already  tnx  , will have  a look at it now
[11:20] <Terrasque> Sh4d0x, if you got lots of spare time you could maybe hunt down the exact file that stores the current theme name, and change it manually.
[11:20] <xenex> cmatheson: im new to ubuntu so i dont know anything, can you tell me how to make the card work if it doesnt work?
[11:20] <IcemanV9> Ralken: change your nick e.g Ralken-afk
[11:20] <soundray> Sh4d0x, will reconfiguring gnome be a pain?
[11:21] <cmatheson> xenex: wait are you talking about chinese input or a card?
[11:21] <varsendagger> hey how would i copy all my . files with the cp command in cli
[11:21] <xenex> card
[11:21] <xenex> i have netgear wg511v2 (made in china version)
[11:21] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I'm not sure what files they are. They're highlighted and have yellow coloring if I try an 'ls' command
[11:21] <Sh4d0x> soundray, i guess yes, cus i'm only a few day's on ubuntu and it's pretty hard to learn
[11:21] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Can you mount C:\  /mnt/work?
[11:21] <cmatheson> varsendagger: cp .* dest/
[11:21] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, What are some names?
[11:21] <xenex> cmatheson: i have netgear wg511v2 (made in china version)
[11:22] <Terrasque> cmatheson, sure . and .. wont join the fray?
[11:22] <cmatheson> xenex: ooh, i'm not sure about that... i thought you were talking about i18n stuff
[11:22] <Ralken> thanks
[11:22] <cmatheson> Terrasque: no
[11:22] <nickrud> Sh4d0x, seriously, the simple fix is as I mentioned above. change gtk_theme to Human
[11:22] <soundray> Sh4d0x, putting it differently, have you spent a lot of time customizing gnome (I mean panels, desktop, mouse etc. rather than system stuff)?
[11:22] <Sh4d0x> terrasque in belgium it's now 23:31 i'd like to go to bed within a few minutes, cuz last weeks a worked hard on a new website for audi
[11:22] <xenex> cmatheson: do you use netgear wg511v2 (made in china version)?
[11:22] <cmatheson> xenex: no i do not, i don't know what that is
[11:22] <Terrasque> Sh4d0x, make a new user :)
[11:22] <DarkMan> oke  all  ,  see  u laters  ,  and have  a  good  night :)
[11:23] <Sh4d0x> nickrud but there are a lot of folders in "gnome"
[11:23] <xenex> cmatheson: its a wireless card that ive read on the forums saying that it is hard to setup
[11:23] <varsendagger> cmatheson, thankyou
[11:23] <cmatheson> xenex: it may be, i'm not sure
[11:23] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, C:\ is mounted as /mnt/work
[11:23] <xenex> cmatheson: but i dont know what to do exactly if it doesnt work
[11:23] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Hmm, that might work out okay.
[11:23] <ossie> Terrasque,  sorted it didnt like the ; at the end of each line
[11:23] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, but there is no trace of GRUB or anything even remotely like it
[11:23] <Malachi> I got sudo to work.
[11:23] <Malachi> Needed to do "hostname localhost"
[11:23] <nickrud> Sh4d0x, no, you go, from the top menu bar: applications->system->config editor. Then, inside that app, navigate to desktop/interface. Edit in the right pane, gtk_theme to Human.
[11:23] <cmatheson> fractalmbrown: it's in /boot/grub
[11:23] <Terrasque> varsendagger, be careful with that advice... really check that "." and ".." arent included
[11:23] <Sh4d0x> terrasque, yes that would also be a solution
[11:24] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Yeah, but if we're dealing with a hidden sector at the beginning of the disk, it might still be there.
[11:24] <nickrud> um, Desktop/gnome/interface is the full path
[11:24] <dailyrorschach> is there a way to turn off the outline around windows when minimizing and restoring them?
[11:24] <tonyyarusso> cmatheson, fractalmbrown's grub is on Windows.
[11:24] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,  man this is clunky  open this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6085   see where i added your info
[11:24] <jc-denton> i use dm_crypt on an external firewire hd
[11:24] <Sh4d0x> nickrud aah folder interface thnQ
[11:24] <Terrasque> Sh4d0x, its probably the fastest "fix"..
[11:24] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: yeah, and this is without me even trying to customize it
[11:24] <Malachi> Now my terminal doesn't work.
[11:24] <nickrud> correct one, too. That's what the theme manager manipulates
[11:24] <jc-denton> i'm wondering if i can mount this harddrive on other non-linux os
[11:24] <varsendagger> Terrasque, . and .. are being included, any other ideas?
[11:25] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, check this out: http://www.geocities.com/lode_leroy/grubinstall/
[11:25] <Terrasque> varsendagger,  yeah, lots :)
[11:25] <Sh4d0x> nickrud nothing changes :s
[11:25] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: so are you recommending tyring to replace everything I have with screen with the text you gave me?
[11:25] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   add this lines in as an extra "display"    use your numbers for the virtual and Modes
[11:25] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, it would require me to restore my MBR back to how it was before Ubuntu messed with it
[11:25] <cmatheson> varsendagger: if you don't add -r to the 'cp' it's not going to copy . or ..
[11:25] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,  no you can just add thos 4-5 lines into your xorg.conf
[11:25] <dailyrorschach> ok
[11:25] <varsendagger> cmatheson, how do i copy my .folders then?
[11:25] <dailyrorschach> in the display section correct?
[11:26] <dailyrorschach> and then restart GDM
[11:26] <Evil_Whisper> !qt
[11:26] <ubotu> Qt is the Q-toolkit. Qt is to KDE what GTK is to GNOME. For the Qt includes, install the libqt3-mt-dev package
[11:26] <Terrasque> varsendagger, a hackish approach could be to do "for x in `ls -A`; do cp $x target/; done" :)
[11:26] <Sh4d0x> nickrud: error " at this moment nothing can be changed, this wil be fixed in a later version" :s
[11:26] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,  in the SCREEN section  subsection display
[11:26] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Certainly looks worth a shot.
[11:26] <mp3guy> i accidentally changed the bootup splash screen to the xubuntu one, how do i change it back?
[11:26] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: ok
[11:26] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, but how would I go about restoring my MBR?
[11:26] <nickrud> Sh4d0x, odd. Works For Me , going to Clearlooks and back to Human
[11:26] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   your adding a new display reference
[11:27] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Your other option is to try reinstalling grub using an Ubuntu install CD, which I think is possible.
[11:27] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: right, ok
[11:27] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Good question.
[11:27] <Evil_Whisper> Is there any way to make QT applications use your GTK colors?
[11:27] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, I know it happens if you reinstall Windows, but I'm sure that's not a very appealing option.
[11:27] <bur[n] er> Evil_Whisper: if you find a way, i'd like to know ;)
[11:27] <Sh4d0x> nickrud what is the exact name of the theme "human"?
[11:27] <nickrud> Human
[11:27] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: and after that I should be able to do a restart of gdm and see the changes?
[11:27] <nickrud> capitalized
[11:27] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, You might try contacting your computer's manufacturer and asking whether they have anything to restore your MBR.
[11:28] <Terrasque> fractalmbrown, start rescue console from cd, run fixmbr, cross fingers
[11:28] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I found a forum link, possibly a solution http://www.techzonez.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3975
[11:28] <holycow> hey guys, i have one install where grub seems to hang for 30 seconds before hitting stage 1.5 - i'm curious if anyone has seen this before, i'm not googling much on this issue
[11:28] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   if its not fullscreen id reboot myself
[11:28] <cmatheson> varsendagger: you could do something ugly like this if you have folders: for i in .* ; do if [ $i != "."  ] ; then if [ $i != ".." ] ;then cp $i dest/; fi;  fi; done
[11:28] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Mine didn't, but you might get lucky.
[11:28] <fractalmbrown> Terrasque, that's exactly what the link told me
[11:28] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,  just reboot it
[11:28] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: alright, giving it a try
[11:29] <parti> I'm back again...
[11:29] <burning_bronx> and I never left
[11:29] <Terrasque> fractalmbrown, of course, fixmbr have never actually worked for me... why do you need win mbr btw? is it the mbr thats gone or windows boot system?
[11:29] <burning_bronx> resizing ntfs using ntfsprogs from the ubuntu repo
[11:29] <burning_bronx> ;)
[11:29] <fractalmbrown> Terrasque, windows is still there. The MBR was hijacked by GRUB
[11:29] <burning_bronx> wonder if it would damage data
[11:29] <burning_bronx> :P
[11:29] <Terrasque> fractalmbrown, tell grub to include windows in the list? :)
[11:29] <burning_bronx> fractalmbrown, it's windows that hijacks windows >.>
[11:30] <Merline> Hello and merry xmas! I have a little problem. How i can create superuser password in console ?
[11:30] <burning_bronx> *hijacks grub
[11:30] <burning_bronx> *mbr
[11:30] <burning_bronx> screw me.
[11:30] <Terrasque> Merline, "sudo passwd" iirc :)
[11:30] <teroedni> Thanks for all help:) question:/usr/share/alsa/pcm<-----here is a lot of conf files??   Are they a demo of differnet setups for dmix souround and etc meant for asoundrc configurating?
[11:30] <soundray> Merline, 'sudo passwd'. But are you sure you want to do this?
[11:30] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, Also could work, provided you have a WinXP disk (I didn't).
[11:30] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, I have an original disk. It should work okey-dokey ;)
[11:30] <Terrasque> Merline, oh,and what soundray said..
[11:31] <Merline> soundray, why not? how else i can be root ?
[11:31] <soundray> Merline, with sudo.
[11:31] <Fred> Merline, "sudo su"
[11:31] <tonyyarusso> fractalmbrown, You might also consider trying to figure out reinstalling grub from an Ubuntu disk, since I'd rather use it than the Windows bootloader anyway, once it's working.
[11:31] <Terrasque> Merline, just put the word "sudo" infront of the commands needing root access.. or "sudo -i" for interactive shell
[11:31] <soundray> Merline, sudo -i is better than sudo su
[11:31] <Sh4d0x> nickrud got it
[11:31] <Merline> okay
[11:32] <Merline> thank u
[11:32] <Sh4d0x> nickrud you simple own man!! thnQ sooo much
[11:32] <nickrud> Sh4d0x, good, that gconf editor is worth looking over. It'll tell you a lot about what you can change on your desktop
[11:32] <DShepherd> hey can anyone drop me a link to opera 8 static
[11:32] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, i'm going to reboot and try the FIXMBR thing
[11:32] <fractalmbrown> tonyyarusso, if it doesn't work, I'll log back on to IRC
[11:33] <MrRio> fractalmbrown: yeah the fixmbr thing will do the trick
[11:33] <teroedni> Is there no one who knowes what the /usr/share/alsa/pcm conf files are meant tyo be used for?
[11:33] <enos> how do i get root access; during the install, i was never prompted to setup a root password...
[11:33] <sampan> ubotu tell enos about root
[11:33] <zoka> hi people! Did anybody had problems with upgrading modules in eclipse
[11:34] <Sh4d0x> nickrud, how do i get rid of the "stupid" installed themes, especially the "broken" ones or the ones that crashes my theme manager?
[11:34] <crimsun> teroedni: they're default configuration files used for pcm definitions so that you can specify plug names via alsa-lib. Why?
[11:34] <zoka> it seems that it can't vrite in default folders
[11:34] <nickrud> Sh4d0x, the themes you installed are in ~/.themes, you can simply delete their folders
[11:34] <pashaw> tonyyarusso, nice work   fractals  setup  didnt make sense to me
[11:35] <teroedni> crimsun:So they are not meant for asoundrc config?
[11:35] <Sh4d0x> nickrud thnx :)
[11:35] <puff> I'm trying to play a wmv and no sound is coming through.  I've played other videos with sound, and I can hear the various UI button clicks.  Anything obvious I'm missing?
[11:35] <nickrud> Sh4d0x, any downloaded icon themes will be in ~/.icons
[11:35] <teroedni> like if i want 7.12audio
[11:35] <teroedni> 7.1 audio
[11:35] <tonyyarusso> pashaw: We have yet to see if there's any success, but at least we got somewhere!
[11:35] <cmatheson> puff: what are you using to play the video?
[11:35] <pashaw> tonyyarusso, lol
[11:35] <crimsun> teroedni: then you specify plug:surround71
[11:35] <crimsun> teroedni: don't touch anything in /usr/share/alsa/
[11:35] <teroedni> :)
[11:35] <DShepherd> !tell me about opera
[11:36] <puff> cmatheson: totem.
[11:36] <puff> cmatheson: I can play this other wmv just fine with audio.
[11:36] <skon> tonyarusso: the GPartEd utility doesn't allow ntfs
[11:36] <skon> what should I do
[11:36] <teroedni> where do i specify plug :sourround
[11:36] <teroedni> in alsa conf?
[11:37] <cmatheson> puff: maybe it's just the video... if the one file works than it should be a setup issue
[11:37] <puff> cmatheson: Okay... oh well.  thanks.
[11:37] <rapha> Hi all!
[11:37] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: I was able to get full screen, but I'm not getting the right resolution, this forum post seems to be the answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75428  but I can't make the command work after getting the file
[11:37] <rapha> Hi all!
[11:37] <teroedni> crimsun:Thanks for the Help:)
[11:37] <crimsun> teroedni: np
[11:37] <Sh4d0x> nickrud, can you tell me once more where i find these folders?
[11:37] <DonVincenzo> Hi,I compiled from sources with make install, but now I would like to uninstall, how should I do ?
[11:38] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,  all i was going for was full screen  :)  now we can adjust your resolution
[11:38] <nickrud> Sh4d0x, ~/.themes and ~/.icons
[11:38] <ossie> please can someoen say how to get divx / xvid palyback on ubuntu
[11:38] <tonyyarusso> skon: I think it lets you open a connected utility of ntfsresize.
[11:38] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: awesome, I'm just saying I think it may be driver related
[11:38] <cmatheson> DonVincenzo: if you kept the source dir it's possible you can do 'make uninstall'... otherwise it's going to be much less trivial
[11:38] <tonyyarusso> skon: Let me check mine.
[11:38] <skon> k
[11:38] <sherlock> can someone pm me how the sources.list should look like..ice checked ubuntuguide.org but their soruces list doesnt work..and i need rar archiver,so plz someone pm me how it should look
[11:38] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   what resolution do you want?
[11:38] <soundray> !tell sherlock about easysource
[11:38] <skon> sherlock: need a rar archiver? www.winrar.com
[11:38] <dailyrorschach> 1280 x 768
[11:39] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: my lcd's native
[11:39] <skon> no its www.rarlab.com
[11:39] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   post your new screen section into pastebin    the entire screen part with the displays
[11:39] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: sure
[11:39] <Evil_Whisper> just install rar & unrar
[11:39] <Evil_Whisper> sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[11:39] <Evil_Whisper> :-P
[11:39] <eztar> "You are either not running this script from the console or simply do not have console ownership." wtf? Isn't terminal a command line?
[11:40] <rapha> Since Ubuntu Breezy Badger my girlfriends laptop has big connectivity problems, only some internet sites work, IRC does not work (using SSH to my home PC now, which does work luckily). Can somebody help us?
[11:40] <tonyyarusso> skon: Try apt-get install ntfsprogs.
[11:40] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   under System -> Pref -> ScreenResolution  what setting is it at
[11:40] <skon> Thanks
[11:40] <DonVincenzo> cmatheson: thks
[11:41] <blanky> i was trying slackware (just installed it), but I soon realized the truth; ubuntu and i are engaged :'(
[11:41] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: it says 1280 x 768, but that's not what it is
[11:41] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: here's that section of the config http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d6087
[11:41] <skon> rapha: it's probably a firewall problem or something...do you have one running?
[11:41] <teroedni> crimsun:Where do i state plug:surround71
[11:41] <cmatheson> rapha: sounds like a DNS issue
[11:41] <teroedni> crimsun:In alsa.conf?
[11:41] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: further I found a forum entry that might be my solution but the command they give me after downloading the file doesn't seem to work and I can't tell why http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75428
[11:41] <skon> yeah DNS issue
[11:41] <crimsun> teroedni: no, you specify that in the preferences of whatever app you're using
[11:41] <xenex> I am new to Ubuntu. I have a wireless card, NETGEAR WG511v2 (Made in China version). In the forums, people have said it is hard to set this up, and they display all these different solutions. I need help step by step if the card doesn't work.
[11:41] <cmatheson> eztar: i don't think you can run that from X, wht is it?
[11:42] <parksy> my sound card doesn't get detected...is there any way to set it up manually?
[11:42] <crimsun> teroedni: if you're constructing an ~/.asoundrc, you'd put it in a pcm stanza
[11:42] <crimsun> parksy: what sound card?
[11:42] <parksy> crimsun: cmipci
[11:42] <dfgas> are there any repos that have bleeding edge software? like newest xchat and such?
[11:42] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,  lol   you were suppose to use your 1280x768 numbers where i put the 00000's
[11:42] <dfgas> or is thee a list somewhere of repos like that?
[11:42] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: oh, damn, I'm an asshole
[11:42] <parksy> crimsun: device manager doesn't realize that it's a sound card...is hal used for detection?
[11:42] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,  one line has a space beweet #s  other has x
[11:43] <crimsun> parksy: lsmod|grep ^snd_cmipci
[11:43] <rapha> skon: cmatheson: There is an ADSL router here. But this PC hasn't had any problems with Hoary Hedgehog, and all the Windows PCs in the network don't have a problem either. It is only since Breezy Badger has been installed. I also tried multiple DNS servers which didn't help. The only thing that does truly help is setting my own home PC as a proxy through an SSH tunnel, but my home PC isn't always turned on.
[11:43] <crimsun> dfgas: "dapper"
[11:43] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: got it
[11:43] <Evil_Whisper> !epiphany
[11:43] <ubotu> Evil_Whisper: Wish i knew
[11:43] <dfgas> crimsun: dapper?
[11:43] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: after doing that reboot or restart gdm?
[11:43] <skon> rapha: is IP chains on?
[11:43] <parksy> crimsun: doesn't load automatically, but i can get it to load...not sure what to do after though
[11:43] <rapha> skon: cmatheson: Also, sometimes existing connections stall, so I wouldn't think it is a DNS issue.
[11:43] <teroedni> Crimsun:okey so if i want 5.1 i specify plug:5.1 in asoundrc=global 5.1 settings:)
[11:43] <Evil_Whisper> !epiphany
[11:43] <teroedni> crimsun Thanks again:)
[11:43] <dfgas> crimsun: sorry i am new to ubuntu  :D
[11:43] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   not yet,  i have no idea how  those 0000's helped with full screen
[11:44] <eztar> cmatheson, it's the script from ati that determines your version of xfree
[11:44] <cmatheson> rapha: are there other pc's there that work? i would start by comparing everything from 'route' 'ifconfig' /etc/resolv/conf, etc. w/ the other boxes network settings
[11:44] <rapha> skon: ipchains isn't even installed.
[11:44] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,  save your changes and report it again
[11:44] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: no, that was my mistake, I had fullscreen
[11:44] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: the issue is the resolution
[11:44] <Sh4d0x> nickruk sry :$ can't find such a folders
[11:44] <crimsun> teroedni: you can override pcm.!default {} with it, yes.
[11:44] <rapha> cmatheson: this is the only Linux computer in the network. And it is configured exactly like it was configured when it was running Hoary.
[11:44] <gnomefreak> wasmt ipchains hoary?
[11:44] <skon> rapha: hmm.. i don't really know
[11:44] <crimsun> parksy: after you load it, cat /proc/asound/cards
[11:44] <teroedni> cvrimsun:Ahh thanks learnt alot now
[11:44] <sudo_smartass> ok
[11:44] <rapha> cmatheson: And, to say it again, all Windows PCs still work flawlessly.
[11:45] <cmatheson> rapha: yeah, but have you compared the network settings on the linux box to those of the windoze boxen?
[11:45] <teroedni> crimsun:Thanks
[11:45] <rapha> skon: Yeah, me neither :-) ... I'm pretty much at the end of my latin.
[11:45] <sudo_smartass> hey crimson... didn't u help me awhile back with my mounting ntfs?
[11:45] <crimsun> dfgas: "dapper" is the development version.
[11:45] <crimsun> sudo_smartass: no idea.
[11:45] <parksy> crimsun: --- no soundcards ---
[11:45] <tonyyarusso> For everyone that's wondered about resizing ntfs and I've told to try the install CD somehow:  I still don't know how that's supposed to work, but you can get the package ntfsprogs out of main, which has ntfsresize.
[11:45] <mz111> When I switched my login shell to zsh, gnome became oblivious to my path variable
[11:45] <sudo_smartass> ok anyone know how to make my ntfs drives accessible?
[11:45] <sudo_smartass> ive tried mounting
[11:45] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: so I always had the fullscreen I misunderstood you before, what's happening is it says im at 1024 x 768 but I'm not, clearly at something lower
[11:45] <cmatheson> eztar: i don't know much about that script but if it's talking about console-ownership i would guess you don't want to be running it from a terminal in X
[11:45] <gnomefreak> dapper screwed me up hard once again :(
[11:45] <crimsun> mz111: zsh doesn't parse ~/.bash*, believe it or not.
[11:46] <crimsun> gnomefreak: so why do you insist? :)
[11:46] <rapha> cmatheson: The only thing that's different _meanwhile_ (because of my trying things out) is that the Linux PC doesn't get its DNS server and IP address through DHCP anymore. I thought that'd be the source of the problem, but it wasn't.
[11:46] <sudo_smartass> i got a virus on my windows disk and i want access to it to clean it up but i cant make it mounted
[11:46] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: according to this forum post that's based on the card I use, it says to run this command "sudo ./ati-driver-installer-8.18.6-i386.run" but when I do that it says no command
[11:46] <cmatheson> rapha: type 'xdpyinfo | grep dimensions'
[11:46] <cmatheson> dailyrorschach: make it executable first
[11:46] <gnomefreak> crimsun, cause i got to thinking about it and thought that it was internet related
[11:46] <crimsun> parksy: paste the output from ''lspci -v'' and ''lspci -nv'' onto pastebin
[11:46] <mz111> crimsun: i set the path in my zsh profile and my bash profile, but gnome can't execute the apps
[11:46] <skon> tonyarusso: command not found
[11:47] <crimsun> mz111: which zsh file did you use?
[11:47] <dailyrorschach> cmatheson: and I do that how?
[11:47] <tonyyarusso> skon: Which command?
[11:47] <gnomefreak> since the sources wont work gaim couldnt connect and xchat couldnt connect
[11:47] <cmatheson> dailyrorschach: chmod +x foo
[11:47] <dailyrorschach> ok
[11:47] <mz111> crimsun: i tried several, most recently /etc/zsh/zshenv
[11:47] <skon> tonyarusso: ntfsresize, and I just did the sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[11:48] <mz111> crimsun: everythign works from the console
[11:48] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   misunderstood  thought you only needed screen resizing not driver installing  :)
[11:48] <rapha> cmatheson: What would my screen resolution have to do with my network connection?
[11:48] <crimsun> mz111: use ~/.zshrc, and source it from ~/.zlogin
[11:48] <eztar> cmatheson, https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=300
[11:48] <cmatheson> rapha: wrong person sorry
[11:48] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   these changes will still work tho
[11:48] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: yeah, my mistake miscommunication, hopefully this driver fixes it, because I cant live with this display
[11:48] <rapha> cmatheson: np :-)
[11:48] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: installing it now
[11:48] <mz111> crimsun: i don't think that will work, but will try
[11:48] <gnomefreak> rapha, i would hope nothing :(
[11:48] <pashaw> dailyrorschach, youll still need  that display section fixed for the best resolution
[11:49] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: yeah, I fixed it as you said
[11:49] <rapha> Btw, does somebody know how to find out if there exists a USB driver for a particular device ID when the device doesn't have any model info printed on it?
[11:49] <rapha> gnomefreak: Do you maybe have any idea regarding these strange connectivity problems?
[11:49] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   we werent done
[11:49] <tonyyarusso> skon: And the install of ntfsprogs had no problems?  I just did the exact same thing, and I have ntfsresize here.
[11:49] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: oh ok
[11:49] <crimsun> rapha: sure, you can check the usermap files or the driver itself.
[11:49] <sudo_smartass> anyone have a few minutes to devote to a noob?
[11:49] <gnomefreak> rapha,  i just got here i didnt see any of them
[11:49] <ispiked> if something is automagically modprobed, does it still read the /etc/modprobe.d/ files for configuration options?
[11:50] <crimsun> sudo_smartass: everyone here does, just ask.
[11:50] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,  comment  out the old display section  that says 24   so it doesnt use that 1024
[11:50] <tonyyarusso> skon: Check spelling and such.
[11:50] <crimsun> ispiked: of course
[11:50] <parksy> crimsun: http://pastebin.com/477080
[11:50] <ispiked> crimsun: alright. trying to figure out why I can't use options led=1 on my intel wireless card.
[11:50] <skon> tonyarusso: k works now...dunno what dumb thing I wasn't doing right before
[11:50] <crimsun> ispiked: what syntax are you using in /etc/modprobe.d/foo ?
[11:50] <ispiked> crimsun: if it doesn't work with `modprobe ipw2200 led=1' is it most likey their problem?
[11:51] <crimsun> parksy: sec.
[11:51] <sudo_smartass> ok... i cant seem to get my ntfs drive recognized as a drive. i modded the fstab file but when i did a mount -a it said it was bad
[11:51] <sudo_smartass> oh wait
[11:51] <ispiked> crimsun: `options ipw2200 led=1'.
[11:51] <sudo_smartass> lemme try something
[11:51] <tonyyarusso> skon: All right.  Whatever works.
[11:51] <dailyrorschach> pashaw:  ok one second
[11:51] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  try mount -t cifs
[11:51] <rapha> crimsun: where would I look for these usermap files? Actually, I think there is no driver for this device, but would like to be sure of it first. If there really is none I'd like to try and write one...
[11:51] <xenex> I am new to Ubuntu. I have a wireless card, NETGEAR WG511v2 (Made in China version). In the forums, people have said it is hard to set this up, and they display all these different solutions. I need help step by step if the card doesn't work.
[11:51] <sudo_smartass> mrk... did that it just gave me the prompt back
[11:52] <skon> tonyarusso: so this will shrink my ntfs partition, but how do I then expand my ext2 partition to fill the empty space?
[11:52] <rapha> gnomefreak: Well, basically "it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't" since installing Breezy as compared to Hoary where it all worked.
[11:52] <ispiked> xenex: I can probably help.
[11:52] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  thats what you want
[11:52] <crimsun> ispiked: hmm, appears to work here in 6.04, can't speak for 5.10
[11:52] <skon> will GPartEd do that for me?
[11:52] <xenex> ispiked: you have the card?
[11:52] <ispiked> crimsun: hrm... using 5.10 here.
[11:52] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  now switch to where ever you mounted it and the files should be there
[11:52] <rapha> gnomefreak: It's like... wierd. "google.com" won't work, but "google.com/linux" will...
[11:52] <ispiked> xenex: have a similar one.
[11:52] <crimsun> rapha: they're distributed with unofficial drivers, usually
[11:52] <xenex> ispiked: what do you have?
[11:52] <tonyyarusso> skon: Yeah, once the ntfs is out of the way.
[11:52] <ispiked> xenex: wrt56g.
[11:53] <ispiked> xenex: err...
[11:53] <ispiked> xenex: I think that might be my router.
[11:53] <ispiked> xenex: anyhow...
[11:53] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,   mount -t cifs /dev/hda3 /media/windisk     for example
[11:53] <ispiked> xenex: what's `lspci |grep 802.11' give you?
[11:53] <sudo_smartass> mrkoje, say what?
[11:53] <sudo_smartass> oh ok
[11:53] <xenex> ispiked: i just need to know what to do if my card doesnt work when i install ubuntu. i really dont know anything about linux so i need to know step by step
[11:53] <sudo_smartass> lemme give that a shot
[11:53] <xenex> ispiked: i havent installed ubuntu yet
[11:53] <mz111> crimsun: it didn't work but thanks anyway
[11:54] <ispiked> xenex: yeah, you can probably get it setup with ndiswrapper.
[11:54] <gnomefreak> rapha, i havent an idea off hand
[11:54] <xenex> ispiked: where would i get the drivers from? the website or the cd?
[11:54] <rapha> crimsun: Oh, I don't think there's a driver for this thing in Breezy. It's a small digital camera by some really strange brand. Really tiny actually. It gets recognized as a full speed device, but that is all. It does come with Windows drivers, so maybe these could be used to get some info about it?
[11:54] <sudo_smartass> says media/windisk doesn't exist
[11:54] <rapha> gnomefreak: kay, thx :-)
[11:54] <pauli> hola
[11:54] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  that was an example
[11:54] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: ok, so I should comment out the one before the virtual that says depth 24?
[11:54] <pauli> chao
[11:54] <sudo_smartass> mrkoje, yeah but i was using it anyway
[11:54] <Daemonic> hmm, strange...in xchat I set the channels to join automagicly and it only joins the first one. I've tried putting a space between them and a comma.. doesn't work with either. Am I doing something wrong?
[11:54] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  you would have to create the mount point to mount it to
[11:55] <sudo_smartass> mrkoje,  how do i do that?
[11:55] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   yes  then  pastebin it   so we can double check
[11:55] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  if it doesn't already exist
[11:55] <ispiked> xenex: so you have the card working on windows, I presume?
[11:55] <rapha> Btw, is it possible to put Wacome Intuos graphics tablet drivers into xorg.conf and have X *not* hang for 2 minutes when the board is not plugged in?
[11:55] <xenex> ispiked: correct
[11:55] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  mkdir /media/windisk
[11:55] <Evil_Whisper> Whats the diffrence between epiphany and galeon?
[11:55] <ispiked> xenex: find the file WG511v2.INF on PC.
[11:55] <parksy> Evil_Whisper: epiphany was a fork of galeon
[11:55] <sudo_smartass> mrkoje, cant make directory, read only file system
[11:55] <rinzai-shu> Evil_Whisper: the name, and the author? ;-)
[11:55] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/d6088
[11:56] <gnomefreak> Evil_Whisper,  depends they both do pretty much same thing the same way but look different?
[11:56] <Evil_Whisper> wich one is still in development?
[11:56] <ispiked> xenex: you'll need that.
[11:56] <funkyHat> Is it possible to set a consistant colour code in X-Chat?
[11:56] <parksy> Evil_Whisper: epiphany...galeon development is switching to be a few epiphany extensiosn
[11:56] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  what are you talking about its a read only filesystem? You can mount it to any folder that you want actually.... find a place where yuo can make a folder and mount it there
[11:56] <ispiked> funkyHat: what do you mean?
[11:56] <Evil_Whisper> thanks for the info guys
[11:56] <gnomefreak> funkyHat, in settings prefferneces no?
[11:57] <xbang> hello
[11:57] <sudo_smartass> mrkoje, its telling me that /media is read only
[11:57] <DonVincenzo> anybody using GTKPOD here ?
[11:57] <Evil_Whisper> is there some way to make the back forward stop home thingy smaller in ephipany?
[11:57] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   i thought you wanted 1280x768   for those virtual numbers?
[11:57] <funkyHat> gnomefreak, I mean the mIRC colour of what you're saying to people (I'm not going to start using it don't worry ;))
[11:57] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: no, I had to change, I was mistake 1024 x 768 is my native
[11:57] <vincent2> Hi
[11:57] <xbang> i'm trying to use the livecd version of 5.04 to test sound on my motherboard. however, after I hit enter to boot - it displays some info such as PCI and stuff, and then just goes to a black screen - can anyone help me?
[11:57] <cmatheson> Evil_Whisper: aside from taking the text-off the bottom i don't think there is
[11:57] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  are you getting a permission denied? try sudo mount -t etc....  otherwise find a place where you can make a folder to mount the drive... for example make a  /mymount/windrive
[11:58] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   did the driver script work?
[11:58] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  just as an example
[11:58] <Evil_Whisper> cmatheson, how would I take the text off the bottom?
[11:58] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: i haven't restarted yet so I don't know
[11:58] <xenex> ispiked: what version should i get? i have win98, 2000, me, and xp. each folder has the .inf file
[11:58] <ispiked> xbang: my advice: try 5.10.
[11:58] <crimsun> parksy: do you have a /proc/asound/cardX/cmipci ?
[11:58] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   try it out'
[11:58] <gnomefreak> funkyHat,  i use defaults for xchat :))
[11:58] <cmatheson> Evil_Whisper: it's a gconf option, or else just turn it off in GNOME globally
[11:58] <ispiked> xenex: probably the XP version.
[11:58] <Evil_Whisper> thanks
[11:58] <xenex> ispiked: ok i have it
[11:58] <parksy> crimsun: /proc/asound has only two dirs, oss and seq
[11:58] <xbang> isp: i don't want to download it and burn it - i have the livecd version here of 5.04
[11:58] <dailyrorschach> pashaw: save the config as it was sent to you in pastebin?
[11:58] <Evil_Whisper> ah yes I got it that did the trick thanks!
[11:58] <sudo_smartass> mrkoje, root@Linux:/home/josh# mount -t cifs /dev/hda1 /hda1
[11:58] <sudo_smartass> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
[11:58] <sudo_smartass>        missing codepage or other error
[11:58] <sudo_smartass>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[11:58] <sudo_smartass>        dmesg | tail  or so
[11:58] <ispiked> xenex: alright, put that onto a flash drive or something -- you'll need it later.
[11:59] <xbang> unless you're 99% sure it will fix the issue, anything else?
[11:59] <crimsun> parksy: ok, then I need output from lsmod, too.
[11:59] <pashaw> dailyrorschach,   yes
[11:59] <dailyrorschach> ok
[11:59] <xenex> ispiked: is a floppy disk ok?
[11:59] <vincent2> is here a channel who somebody speak french ?
[11:59] <sudo_smartass> mrkoje, and that means what?
[11:59] <ispiked> sudo_smartass: try mounting hda2.
[11:59] <lowman62> weird my hard drive partition was showing up as sda1 no wonder I could not mount my jumpdrive...it was /dev/sdb tis mounted and working perfectly now that I added it to my fstab
[11:59] <crimsun> vincent2: #ubuntu-fr
[11:59] <vincent2> where* excuse me
[11:59] <xenex> ispiked: oh wait, i am getting these files from the cd
[11:59] <xenex> ispiked: is that ok instead of using a floppy?
[11:59] <vincent2> thanks Crimsun
[11:59] <mrkoje> sudo_smartass,  your doing it wrong... first to mount you need to use sudo
[11:59] <Evil_Whisper> Now all it needs are smaller tabs and a extension system that can use firefox's extensions :p
[11:59] <sudo_smartass> im su'ed
[11:59] <ispiked> xenex: well, actually, ubuntu will probably automount your windows partitions (if you leave them).
[11:59] <xbang> isp: i don't want to download it and burn it - i have the livecd version here of 5.04
[11:59] <xbang> unless you're 99% sure it will fix the issue, anything else?
[12:00] <xenex> ispiked: no im going to have ubuntu only
