[08:47] <pundai> sladen, oh, and there is no way for me to configure?
[08:47] <green_earz> karis: its part of kde, just double click the top bar of the app and all will roll up to just single bar, click on the bar again and the app will unroll
[08:47] <sladen> pundai: can you please file a bug so that we can work out /how/ to support your particular laptop
[08:47] <dballesg> Any expert installing the NVidia And NFORCE drivers on Ubuntu 64 bits?
[08:47] <pundai> alrighty
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> dballesg,  may be better off using the 32bit version.
[08:47] <sladen> pundai: and then go through the hints at:  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch  and see whether you can work out what signals it's sending
[08:47] <sladen> pundai: are you using Kubuntu or ubuntu?
[08:48] <pundai> sladen, ok how about Fn+F10=eject cddrom, that has something to do with acpi as well?
[08:48] <sladen> dballesg: what are you stuck with?
[08:48] <pundai> sladen, ubuntu
[08:48] <mirak> is it normal that there is not /sbin/mount.fuse ?
[08:48] <Garthex> hintswen, i'm having trouble installing ethernet on my friends laptop running ubuntu. It "PCI1410" cardbus
[08:48] <sladen> pundai: excellent
[08:48] <freemanen> in witch file can you found aspell dictionary?
[08:48] <Garthex> that was supposed to be "hi ," lol
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> pundai,  you can set the cdrom to auto-eject when unmounted. :P i did that once ages ago
[08:48] <pundai> Dr_Willis, this is besides the point, obviously
[08:48] <dballesg> Dr_Willis the problem is ubuntu is installed but doesn't recognize the network card that is integrated on the motherboard, so I can not use internet to upgrade the drivers of the graphics card
[08:48] <karis> green_earz, may be you got me wrong? that one is an X terminal that drops down with F12 If I recall correctly
[08:48] <kennethlove> anyone: apt-get gives me 404s. even after an update and checking that the sources are correct.
[08:49] <pundai> anyway, sladen im submitting the bug
[08:49] <Evilsmevil> hi all
[08:49] <eobanb> kennethlove, can you pastebin your sources.list
[08:49] <Morimando> Hey there. How do i mount an initrd to a directory? I need to know which modules i need in the initrd i am trying to build
[08:49] <dballesg> I've been stuck with that all day :(
[08:49] <Evilsmevil> i have a slightly strange question and it would be great if someone could help me with it
[08:49] <kennethlove> eobanb: it's the default one, i do believe, but gimme a second
[08:49] <Evilsmevil> does anyone know how i can ping a web page from the command line?
[08:49] <eobanb> !tell Evilsmevil about anyone
[08:49] <jramsey> :)
[08:49] <roe> you mean like ping www.yahoo.com
[08:50] <Evilsmevil> yeah will that work?
[08:50] <eobanb> Evilsmevil, i think you mean ping a server, not a 'web page'
[08:50] <Morimando> ping -c5 www.google.de ^^
[08:50] <Evilsmevil> no i mean a web page
[08:50] <HymnToLife> eobanb> this is irrelevant, he did ask his question
[08:50] <nickrud> dballesg, what card do you have?
[08:50] <roe> if the server is setup to respond it will work
[08:50] <eobanb> Evilsmevil, you can't 'ping' a document
[08:50] <jramsey> Evilsmevil, ping www.ubuntu.com pings a web site ... you wanna ping a web "page"??  that doesnt make sense
[08:50] <nickrud> dballesg, or, chipset that is :)
[08:50] <JonBoon> how do i chmod 644 to an entire folder?
[08:51] <dballesg> The motherboard is an asrock 939NF4G witg a geforce 6100 integrated (NV44)
[08:51] <Evilsmevil> ok basically i have an audio server, it changes track when a certain web page is accessed
[08:51] <Morimando> chmod 644 <foldername> -R
[08:51] <ponijs> there is nothing in /etc/default/iptables
[08:51] <dballesg> sorry guys I answer slowly, ages since I'be been on an irc channel :)
[08:51] <Evilsmevil> i want to access the web page but i dont care what the output of the page is
[08:51] <ponijs> where do I find the iptables configuration?
[08:51] <nickrud> dballesg, lspci should be specific about the ethernet , that will help
[08:51] <eobanb> Evilsmevil, so you mean like the pingback api
[08:51] <EnterUserName> hi
[08:51] <Evilsmevil> eobanb: im bot sure what that is
[08:51] <factorx> doesn't have ubuntu have a glibc package?
[08:51] <eobanb> Evilsmevil, can you rephrase your question
[08:52] <nickrud> factorx, it's libc6 here
[08:52] <EnterUserName> Whats an easy way to find the url of your print server?
[08:52] <EnterUserName> if your on the print server?
[08:52] <Evilsmevil> ok, i need to access a webpage but i dont need to look at its contents
[08:52] <JonBoon> how do i chmod 644 to an entire folder? its for apache
[08:52] <eobanb> Evilsmevil, so what do you need to do with it then?
[08:52] <lsuactiafner> ppl ive convinced my flatmate to use ubuntu, now xinerama and ATI has screwed X over. does it work or shouldnt i bother with the setup?
[08:52] <dballesg> If I do an lspci I got a lot on Unknown devices
[08:52] <samuli> JonBoon, man chmod ;)
[08:53] <Evilsmevil> nothing, when the server recieves a request for that page it switches track
[08:53] <factorx> nickrud, seems I have installed libc6, but why isn't there an stdio.h anywhere then?
[08:53] <Morimando> JonBoon, chmod 644 <folder> -R
[08:53] <Calgar> please help me! i installed ubuntu yesterday and used the inbult partion resizer to resize my windows ntfs partion, now i just tried to boot windows and it refused to boot! ( see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14017 for a screenshot)

[08:54] <[1] Peter> Sorry to jump in, but has anybody had a problem with Amarok having the play audio CD greyed out?
[08:54] <nickrud> factorx, install the libc6-dev package; -dev packages have the stuff for compiling,
[08:54] <samuli> !tell basilio about restricted_formats
[08:54] <factorx> ah, okay
[08:54] <Evilsmevil> well i guess technically i do, but i just need to ASK for the page,
[08:54] <basilio> samuli: i dont think so...im a newbie with linux and ubuntu
[08:54] <pundai> sladen, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/44732
[08:54] <EnterUserName> hello

[08:54] <jramsey> Evilsmevil, so when someone accesses a known page and ur web server serves the page u want to change track on some dvd?

[08:55] <jramsey> eobanb, i am trying to drill down :)
[08:55] <dballesg> I found on NVidia the drivers but aks me to recompiling the kernel, and on Linux I am a nerd newbie! :(

[08:56] <samuli> basilio, and remember to ask for help if there's something confusing you.
[08:56] <odyssey> hello what is the best software to run lan
[08:56] <Evilsmevil> eobanb: I have a webserver running on one computer, it controls a media player. the web server tells the media player to change tracks when the page /next is accessed
[08:56] <odyssey> to access both pc on the lan
[08:56] <JonBoon> Morimando, that just made it so i cant access the page now
[08:56] <JonBoon> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/stuff/
[08:56] <eobanb> Evilsmevil, well you could have just said that from the beginning
[08:56] <Calgar> please help me! i installed ubuntu yesterday and used the inbult partion resizer to resize my windows ntfs partion, now i just tried to boot windows and it refused to boot! ( see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14017 for a screenshot)
[08:56] <crazy_penguin> hi all
[08:56] <||arifaX> Evilsmevil, use wget
[08:56] <samuli> odyssey, are you using linux - linux or linux - windows setup?
[08:56] <hupp3l> i had ubuntu installed but I removed it from windows. with it i removed grub bootloader and now i cant boot. I have the ultimate boot cd but i dont know what to do
[08:57] <Evilsmevil> wget yeah that would work
[08:57] <Morimando> JonBoon, maybe it's the wrong chmod?
[08:57] <hroit> nick jackn
[08:57] <Evilsmevil> lol that worked a treat thanks ||arifaX!
[08:57] <JonBoon> 644 is the one i use on individual files
[08:57] <Evilsmevil> yeah sorry that i wasnt clear in what i wanted
[08:57] <odyssey> what software do you use to access both pcs on the lan
[08:57] <eobanb> Evilsmevil, i'd just write some sort of little dmon that listens on port 80 for any TCP connections and when it receives one, ssh's to the other box and runs whatever it needs to do on the music server machine to change the track
[08:58] <crazy_penguin> a friend of mine who's using ubuntu has the following problem
[08:58] <Morimando> JonBoon, well it's now on every file in the directory, either apache doesn't like this mode or the apache user doesn't have read permission now
[08:58] <dballesg> Ok going to dinner here I'll try to comeback later
[08:58] <Evilsmevil> eobanb: im just using wget but thanks for the help :)
[08:58] <odyssey> ubuntu samuli
[08:58] <Morimando> JonBoon, iirc it must be readable for www-data user
[08:58] <hupp3l> anyone think they can help me?
[08:58] <odyssey> to access a windows pc

[09:00] <ponijs> nvm
[09:01] <Morimando> JonBoon, have you looked if the files are readable for www-data ?
[09:01] <samuli> Calgar, it might be that fdisk (or gparted) borged your ntfs-partition..
[09:01] <hupp3l> i had ubuntu installed but I removed it from windows. with it i removed grub bootloader and now i cant boot. I have the ultimate boot cd but i dont know what to do
[09:01] <samuli> calgar, can you mount /dev/hda1 with live cd?
[09:02] <jramsey> hupp3l, why would u remove grub??
[09:02] <Calgar> samuli: couldnt i just try with the linux install im on?
[09:02] <hupp3l> i have no idea. i removed my linux partition from partition magic
[09:02] <ahmad> Hey
[09:02] <hupp3l> and it musthave removed grub with it
[09:02] <ahmad> I need some help
[09:02] <samuli> calgar, yeah. of course.. I messed you up with hupp3l I guess.
[09:02] <||arifaX> Calgar, you could try booting from your xp cd and go into recovery console. do a fixmbr and a fixboot there?
[09:02] <tyler> can someone help me with firefox install?
[09:03] <roe> ahmad: fire away
[09:03] <kennethlove> anyone: apt-get gives me 404s. even after an update and checking that the sources are correct.
[09:03] <ahmad> can someone assist me? Does anybody use gimp, or know when i try to put somethin in usr/lib/w.e  i cant put something there it says you dont have permission
[09:03] <Calgar> ||arifax: i only have a recovery disk......
[09:03] <jramsey> hupp3l, reinstall ubuntu and let it repartitition ur disk
[09:03] <jramsey> it will put grub in the boot sector then
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> ahmad,  you have to be root or use sudo to do that.
[09:03] <||arifaX> Calgar, well, then "recover" :)
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> ahmad,  linux FUNdamentals. :P
[09:03] <ahmad> ?
[09:03] <ahmad> lol
[09:04] <ahmad> i just started linux today <3
[09:04] <ponijs> I am annoyed
[09:04] <TheFuzzball> hello, I have a very annoying problem... when I start my computer it plays the startup sounds, when I log in it plays the startup sounds, when I run mplayer with a .mp3 file in konsole it plays sound, but kmix says "mixer cannot be found" and amaroK doesn't work either...
[09:04] <hupp3l> well im sending in my laptop for repairs and would like to not have grub as my loader. how can I reinstall the ntloader
[09:04] <samuli> Calgar, in case you have your linux intact, you might want to paste us your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> ahmad,  a normal 'user' cant  muck with the system wide stuff that way.
[09:04] <TheFuzzball> can I have some help with this please?
[09:04] <Morimando> ahmad, just save it in /home/ahmad then ^^
[09:04] <Calgar> ||arifax: that will bulldoze linux
[09:04] <ahmad> k
[09:04] <ahmad> ones ec
[09:04] <jramsey> hupp3l, u mean u want windows back on ur laptop
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> roe,  do more reading.. less banging. :P
[09:04] <Morimando> ahmad, nothing good can result from changing anything in /usr/lib or somewhere else that /home ;)
[09:05] <hupp3l> windows was always on and still is but i cant boot to it
[09:05] <hupp3l> i used to dual boot
[09:05] <ahmad> cuz i wanna install these brushed for gimp
[09:05] <Morimando> not if you don't know what you are doing
[09:05] <dylan_> is there a linux distribution that i can get that has virtually no programs by default?  id like to customize my own distro and download things independently
[09:05] <||arifaX> Calgar, You can use any windows cd since 2000 to do the fixboot and fixmbr stuff. ask on of your friends for a cd ?
[09:05] <whiter> dylan_ ubuntu can do that
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> ahmad,  you can most likely install them to some /home/username/.gimp dir on a per user basis
[09:05] <pianoboy3333> Can someone help me get a USB external 40GB drive working? I can't mount it since it doesn't have a deviace
[09:05] <spikeb> a debian base install has next to nothing on it
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> ahmad,  or use 'sudo' and the right commands to copy them to the other place.
[09:05] <whiter> dylan_ reinstall ubuntu but on boot from the cd type "server"
[09:05] <samuli> dylan, I doubt there's any 'easy' one.
[09:05] <jramsey> hupp3l, ur bootsector is whacked ... u can do what ||arifaX said about fixboot
[09:06] <Calgar> ||arifaX: wont that bulldoze GRUB?
[09:06] <whiter> dylan_ then it just installs the base and nothing else, not even X windows
[09:06] <roe> Dr_Willis:  fglrx + xorg + dual head + independend virtual resolutions = lots of headbanging :)
[09:06] <dylan_> whiter, but then there's no drivers, either.  how do i get all my drivers?
[09:06] <hupp3l> ah ok cool thanx i will do that
[09:06] <samuli> dylan_: but you might want to try the expert mode on ubuntu install, if you don't have anything against the actual distribution.
[09:06] <jramsey> hupp3l, or u can reinstall linux, dual boot it providing the windows partition is still there and u should then be back to dual boot
[09:06] <whiter> there are drivers and everything
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> roe,  actually fglrx has always been rather trivial under ubuntu for me. :P but i just use X and a clone on the tv out.
[09:06] <whiter> just no gui and minimal programs
[09:06] <Evilsmevil> hi, does anyone know how i can configure a key to launch a script?
[09:06] <whiter> your internet will work
[09:06] <whiter> your sound will work
[09:06] <whiter> etc etc
[09:07] <roe> Dr_Willis: yea getting my X to work out of the box was no problem, its the dual head and different resolutions that is proving impossible
[09:07] <whiter> thats how i installed my ubuntu dylan_, i built it up myself basically
[09:07] <jramsey> Evilsmevil, !keyboard shortcuts
[09:07] <kennethlove> anyone: apt-get gives me 404s. even after an update and checking that the sources are correct. ping and torrents are working, just not apt-get.
[09:07] <dylan_> samuli, whats 'expert' do?
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> roe,  i saw that 'mepis' had a nice dual-head configuration tool. i tested out their live cd.. and 'borrowed' their config.  It seems like when he creates a folder in /var/www/cstrike/ he cant access it, but he can access the other folders.
[09:07] <dylan_> whiter, what is the formula for downloading drivers?  is there a common filename criteria?
[09:07] <roe> kennethlove:  what package are you are installing
[09:08] <ahmad> willis whats sudo can you help em
[09:08] <Evilsmevil> !keyboard shortcuts
[09:08] <ubotu> hmm... keyboard shortcuts is modifiable at System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, or at http://www.gnome.org/learn/access-guide/2.10/ch03.html#keynav-2
[09:08] <kennethlove> roe: any. none of them are coming down
[09:08] <samuli> dylan, you can, for example, extensively edit what packages installation install by default.
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> ahmad,  time to do some reading and learnin gof the basics of linux. start by typing "!sudo" and read the bots message/urls
[09:08] <Evilsmevil> thanks jramsey
[09:08] <roe> kennethlove:  you can do apt-get update?
[09:08] <ahmad> k
[09:08] <ahmad> !sudo
[09:08] <ubotu> somebody said sudo was a command that will let users run commands as root.  It seems like when he creates a folder in /var/www/cstrike/ he cant access it, but he can access the other folders.
[09:09] <dylan_> samuli, because for smoe reason ... firefox 1.0.8 seems really slow when there's an image-intensive page
[09:09] <dylan_> like digg.com
[09:09] <roe> kennethlove:  do an apt-get clean
[09:09] <samuli> dylan_: firefox is pretty slow.
[09:09] <kennethlove> roe: ok
[09:09] <samuli> dylan_: you might want to try and upgrade it to 1.5
[09:09] <kennethlove> roe: update still gets 404
[09:09] <samuli> dylan_: much faster.
[09:09] <dylan_> samuli, is there a .deb for that?
[09:10] <samuli> !tell dylan_ about firefox
[09:10] <dylan_> samuli, because i know the /opt/firefox/ trick by heart, but i also know that when i apt-get dist-upgrade everything will go to shit.
[09:11] <samuli> dylan_ I dist-upgraded from hoary to breezy with ff1.5 and nothing got shit for me.
[09:11] <samuli> dylan, but if you want to dist-upgrade from breezy you will be getting ff1.5 by default
[09:11] <facu> alguien habla espaol y puede darme una mano???????????
[09:11] <selinium> dylan_, samuli: Please Watch Your Language
[09:11] <roe> kennethlove:  does apt-cache searches work?
[09:11] <selinium> :)
[09:11] <dylan_> selinium, sorry
[09:11] <amnezia> hi
[09:11] <samuli> selinium, please!
[09:12] <dylan_> selinium, no worries
[09:12] <kennethlove> roe: yep
[09:12] <selinium> samuli: I got the smile on the next line! :) Sorry!
[09:12] <amnezia> can anybody give me some info how to enable/control 5.1 channel audio playback?
[09:12] <samuli> lol :)

[09:13] <sladen> pundai: was that you filing bug #44732 ?

[09:26] <tanath> for some reason, i can't keep my pc clock synchronized. i choose 'periodically synchronize clock with internet servers,' and have a working server selected, but it doesn't work, and is unchecked every time i go back
[09:27] <andreasc89> so that when I plug in the mp3, a BIG icon appaers on the desktop
[09:27] <andreasc89> now I have to go to stretch icon
[09:27] <tanath> it worked fine before i rebooted
[09:27] <sladen> pundai: so what happens if you do  Ctrl-Alt-F1
[09:27] <andreasc89> can't I set a default size  of it?
[09:27] <andreasc89> so that all icons on the desktop gets big directly
[09:27] <osotogari> Hey all, just wondering has anyone had a problem with their screensaver slowing down. i have had my machine on fro about 2 weeks now and the screensaver has slowed down to a crawl
[09:27] <pundai> sladen, with c-a-F1,i get a blank screen
[09:27] <|Sivik|> !modprobe
[09:27] <ubotu> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, |Sivik|
[09:27] <andreasc89> without having to stretch them manually
[09:28] <sladen> tanath: can you file a bug please.  it should do the sync'ing on each boot too
[09:28] <sladen> pundai: with some text on it?
[09:28] <Polygon89> ahmad, use a seprae window, easier
[09:28] <dylan_> tanath, is that just linux fanboy behavior or the actual truth?  can windows really be that bad?  ive only used a mac and this linux box really.
[09:28] <andreasc89> anyone knows?
[09:28] <pundai> sladen, nothing
[09:28] <pundai> totally blank
[09:28] <tanath> sladen: it does, but i want it to keep synchronizing automatically as it should
[09:28] <sladen> pundai: what happens if you press enter or something, or try  Ctrl-Alt-F2  etc
[09:28] <pepo> my wifi can not get IP from router, its a broadcom 43xx, i did install firmware, and the ligth its on, but i can not get IP
[09:28] <tanath> dylan_: it certainly can be. i used to fix people's computers all the time, and all i used before was windows...
[09:29] <sladen> tanath: does it succed, or do you have a firewall in the way?
[09:29] <pundai> sladen, nothing from F1-F6
[09:29] <tanath> sladen: it succeeds. it just won't 'remember' the setting, and only synchronizes the one time when i hit OK
[09:29] <sladen> pundai: okay, so that's a bug aswell.  Do you have Nvidia/ATI graphics?
[09:29] <pepo> DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interval 8
[09:29] <Polygon89> ahmad you there?
[09:29] <tanath> sladen: then it's unchecked when i go back again
[09:30] <andreasc89> any idea?
[09:30] <pundai> sladen, i dont think its a bug because i was messing with it before i upgrdaed to dapper (changed # of consoles to 1)
[09:30] <pundai> sladen, nvidia
[09:30] <chief_> lo
[09:30] <osotogari> Hey all, just wondering has anyone had a problem with their screensaver slowing down. i have had my machine on fro about 2 weeks now and the screensaver has slowed down to a crawl
[09:30] <pepo> and with de ndiswapper dont work
[09:30] <sladen> tanath: it pops up a message saying "Please install NTP"
[09:30] <sladen> tanath: and then unticks the box because it's not installed
[09:31] <osotogari> speaking of ndiswrapper, can i install it through apt-get?
[09:31] <tanath> sladen: no, ntp is installed. as i said, it worked before reboot
[09:31] <tanath> sladen: that box does not appear
[09:32] <sladen> tanath: can you file a bug report: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+filebug
[09:33] <sladen> pundai: oh, right, that's a separate bug with the Nvidia driver.  But because it's the Nvidia binary driver it's impossible to fix it (no source code)
[09:33] <chief_> anyone know how to get more fps in counter strike source??
[09:33] <sladen> chief_: get a faster machine
[09:34] <pundai> sladen, you're kidding
[09:34] <chief_> lol nice reply
[09:34] <sladen> osotogari: the screensaver will slow down to save battery
[09:34] <sladen> !ndiswrapper
[09:34] <ubotu> methinks ndiswrapper is a way to support Windows wireless drivers, but it is buggy compared to native support. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[09:35] <sladen> osotogari: ^^
[09:36] <pundai> so sladen how can i check my nvidia driver version
[09:36] <JonBoon> what is a good ftp client for ubuntu?
[09:36] <Tetrahedron> you can download fireftp extension for firefox
[09:36] <ironcladlou> where can i get instructions on getting metacity's composite manager running with dapper 6.06b2?
[09:37] <sladen> pundai: the Nvidia bug is https://launchpad.net/bugs/32389
[09:37] <Tetrahedron> does anyone know how to change the channel that volume control, controls?
[09:37] <james_xxx> can anyone tell me how to eject a CD from the CD drive ?? lol
[09:37] <schtinky> I've got a  remote server with a clock skew... I've tried starting ntpd, but it hasn't helped, can someone assist me?
[09:37] <pundai> sladen, thats awesome
[09:37] <pundai> in a :( way
[09:37] <sladen> james_xxx: press the eject button
[09:37] <zcat[1] > james_xxx: right-click the cd icon on the desktop and pick eject
[09:37] <Tetrahedron> or right click the cd in ubuntu and eject
[09:37] <james_xxx> sladen.... the eject button does nothing
[09:38] <james_xxx> no CD icon lol
[09:38] <zcat[1] > or alt-f2 and type 'eject' in the box
[09:38] <ironcladlou> also: has anybody experienced a flickering animated mouse cursor when using the latest nvidia driver?
[09:38] <sladen> james_xxx: does your CD drive have a physical eject button?
[09:38] <james_xxx> ok i did that... didn't work
[09:38] <JonBoon> Tetrahedron, its not compatible with this firefox :/
[09:38] <james_xxx> sladen, yes, but it isn't working
[09:38] <|Sivik|> james_xxx: restart the computer and eject during bootup
[09:39] <james_xxx> wow i wonder why it is doing this
[09:39] <zcat[1] > ironcladlou: no, but you don't want to see the flickering I get with xgl + gnome-screensavers
[09:39] <Jimmey__> Hello.
[09:39] <Tetrahedron> what version do you have? i have it installed on my windows firefox which runs 1.5..3
[09:39] <Tetrahedron> or whatever
[09:39] <sladen> james_xxx: if the CD is in use then it won't get ejected
[09:39] <sladen> james_xxx: so you have no icon on your desktop?
[09:39] <james_xxx> hmmm
[09:39] <JonBoon> 1.07
[09:39] <zcat[1] > james_xxx: open a terminal and type 'eject.. it should at least tell you the problem that way.
[09:39] <Tetrahedron> thats most likly why
[09:39] <james_xxx> sladen, no, i have never had a CD icon on my ubuntu desktop
[09:39] <Jimmey__> I'm having trouble adding the multiverse repositories with nano ( I installed a server ). I need them enabled to install xubuntu-desktop, I think
[09:39] <ironcladlou> zcat[1] : i wasn't very impressed with xgl+compiz. that's why i'm curious about metacity's compositing support. less useless crap, more function (hopefully more stable)
[09:39] <zcat[1] > sladen: probably something's still accessing a file on the cd?
[09:40] <Tetrahedron> if you dont want to upgrade then there are some other actual ubuntu programs that can do it
[09:40] <gr33npho3nix> james_xxx: what does sudo umount /media/cdrom say
[09:40] <Jimmey__> What should I add to breezy's sources.list to add the multiverse repositories?
[09:40] <ironcladlou> i simply want accelerated functional stuff, like resizing windows, menu drawing, etc.
[09:40] <JonBoon> im gonna upgrade, i didtn know there was a newer one
[09:40] <zcat[1] > ironcladlou: dunno.. I wasn't having much luck with the latest builds but I got some good tips on #ubuntu-xgl yesterday.. now it's sweet (again..)
[09:40] <Tetrahedron> yeah
[09:41] <kennethlove> anyone: apt-get gives me 404s. even after an update and checking that the sources are correct. ping and torrents are working, just not apt-get.
[09:41] <Tetrahedron> btw this fourm post: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=33183 has some ftp programs
[09:41] <JonBoon> thanks!
[09:41] <ironcladlou> zcat[1] : i wonder if those folks would know about the metacity compositing thing
[09:41] <Tetrahedron> and some other windows to linux programs
[09:41] <james_xxx> sudo: unmount: command not found
[09:41] <Jimmey__> kennethlove, sounds like a server problem
[09:41] <dmbt> i really ned to know if theres a guide on howto setup and use ipv6!
[09:41] <Tetrahedron> as in (windows equivilant)
[09:41] <zcat[1] > compiz isn't much practical use, but the reaction when 'doze users see it is totally worth it :)
[09:41] <osotogari> @ sladen: I running it on a desktop
[09:41] <Jimmey__> dmbt, try man ifconfig ( or iwconfig, if it's a wireless device )
[09:42] <kennethlove> Jimmey__: it's all the servers, so i'm sure it's not them. besides, lynx always shows my local apache2 page
[09:42] <Tetrahedron> does anyone know how to change what channel the volume thing on the panel controls?
[09:42] <dmbt> Jimmey__: its a bit more compilicated than that
[09:42] <sladen> zcat[1] : Menubar->Places->Computer ?
[09:42] <james_xxx> i will just restart i think, lol. i was trying to install a usn linksys wireless device using drivers from the CD when this happened
[09:42] <dmbt> i need a howto, like the one gentoo provided
[09:42] <dmbt> i might have to make one myself
[09:42] <james_xxx> usb*
[09:42] <Jimmey__> You might want to search the wiki, then
[09:42] <dmbt> i did that
[09:42] <tomas_> hi
[09:43] <Jimmey__> Oh
[09:43] <dmbt> they don't have very many articles on ipv6 at all
[09:43] <zcat[1] > sladen: That's an option, the CD icon will be there.. or accessories>terminal ..
[09:43] <tomas_> is there a channel for amd64
[09:43] <Tetrahedron> does anyone know how to change what channel the volume thing on the panel controls?
[09:44] <sladen> Tetrahedron: if it changes the wrong channel, please file a bug:  https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+filebug  saying what channel it /should/ control and it'll get fixed
[09:44] <zcat[1] > If something's got the cdrom in use, 'sudo fuser -k /dev/cdrom' should kill it..
[09:44] <sladen> Tetrahedron: lots of machines use the channel differently and need workarounds
[09:44] <bluesign> how can I make adapter duplex and speed changed persistant?
[09:44] <tomas_> I need to compile madwifi driver
[09:44] <sladen> tomas_: it's built in
[09:45] <kennethlove> !seen nlogax
[09:45] <ubotu> i haven't seen 'nlogax', kennethlove
[09:45] <tomas_> sladen: I need to patch it!!

[09:45] <Tetrahedron> sladen: is there a bug reporthing think for 2.6.12-10-386
[09:45] <Tetrahedron> ?
[09:46] <tomas_> its aireplay from aircrack patch you know
[09:46] <pundai> ok sladen i got the console back (removed splash option from boot), but still no output from /var/log/messages
[09:47] <sladen> pundai: what about  showkey -u
[09:47] <sladen> pundai: (wait 10seconds for it to exit)
[09:47] <Abountu> is it possible to have GoogleEarth running using wine or something like that?
[09:47] <gnomefreak> Abountu: yes

[09:49] <Larsson-Sweden> sladen, that's this channel.

[09:49] <omeg> Hi all
[09:50] <pundai> sladen, where does it say its buggy
[09:50] <omeg> I don't have an Ubuntu-specific question but do any of you know of a good open source video manipulation program?
[09:50] <ben42> omeg: maybe kino
[09:50] <sladen> pundai: search for "Gen 2"
[09:50] <Dyngo> I can't enter gdesklets' website... can you guys?
[09:50] <sladen> pundai: search for "xpsgen2" even
[09:51] <sladen> omeg: kino, there are several others too
[09:51] <comrade> what's a repository that has vlc media player in it?
[09:51] <pundai> sladen, i still don't get what says buggy.. can you paste the phrase you are thinking of
[09:52] <Larsson-Sweden> Is there a config file for Epiphany? It has very few options.
[09:52] <omeg> sladen: that looks pretty cool, but it seems that it's Linux-only. This is for a friend of mine, and he runs Windows. Do you know one that's also ported for Windows?
[09:52] <sladen> pundai: "Reserved method must return a value (_WAK)
[09:52] <sladen> pundai: "Method (_S0D, 0, NotSerialized)
[09:52] <sladen> pundai: "Unknown reserved name ^  (_S0D)
[09:53] <pundai> it also says warnings can be ignored...
[09:53] <sladen> pundai: anyway, back to the two keycodes you found
[09:53] <sladen> pundai: we can use those
[09:53] <Napoleon> comrade: I'm not sure, but I can install it and I only have the multi/universe/etc repos enabled. Nothing special.
[09:53] <pundai> sladen, in the .hk file?
[09:54] <Ponijs> how do I share files from windows to my unik box without ssh?
[09:54] <sladen> pundai: Fn+F1/F3 gives me 0xe0 0x25 and 0xe0 0x71  <-- can you post those two onthe bug report
[09:55] <sladen> pundai: can you also post the DMI decode data so that I can identify your laptop (see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch)
[09:55] <pundai> ok sladen
[09:55] <pundai> will do
[09:55] <sladen> pundai: ta
[09:58] <pundai> sladen, i updated the bug with the info you suggested
[09:59] <tanath> sladen: bug filed: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/44737

[10:00] <ironcladlou> I am trying to figure out how to enable metacity's compositing manager, but can't find any instructions for Dapper
[10:01] <comrade> Napoleon, I'm using nubuntu so it is flight6, is it possible there isn't a repository for it yet, or is there a way to get a list of available ones for flight
[10:01] <Napoleon> comrade: I don't even know what nubuntu is sorry.
[10:01] <Rayman_> is there a limit on connections sshd accepts by default?
[10:01] <Mabus06> Rayman_: Check ssh_config in /etc/ssh
[10:02] <NickGarvey> Rayman_: I'd check the config file
[10:02] <Mabus06> or it might be sshd_config
[10:02] <Rayman_> well.. I can't connect to he server atm, so I'm wondering how could that be. pinging works. :)
[10:02] <truz24> I am trying to use serpentine to burn an mp3 audio disc.  I am following the directions to install decoder plugins on http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch03.html#codecs, but it still fails when trying to add mp3s to the track list.  Do I need to restart?
[10:03] <pundai> hey sladen thanks for your help, anything i can do to help you fix it, let me know. im gonna go watch some ninja turtles n ow (still available tho)
[10:04] <ProN00b> why doesn't ubuntu use thunderbird as the default mail client instead of some shady no knows it thing ?
[10:04] <NickGarvey> ProN00b: gnome
[10:04] <gnomefreak> ProN00b: evolution = part of gnome
[10:04] <pundai> thunderbird is as bloated as evolution so evolution wins
[10:04] <ProN00b> noone cares
[10:04] <Harti> hello. when i will add or remove a printer over localhost:631, i become a promt for username and password http://mitglied.lycos.de/tharti/2006-05-13-235249_1024x768_scrot.png my name and pw doesnt go
[10:05] <ProN00b> NickGarvey, gnomefreak, it has firefox too, and i bet gnome has some own webbrowser...
[10:05] <gnomefreak> yes ProN00b it does
[10:05] <sladen> Harti: System->Administration->Printing
[10:05] <gnomefreak> its called epiphty
[10:05] <gnomefreak> (spelling)
[10:05] <truz24> I guess that means no one uses serpentine here.
[10:05] <ProN00b> gnomefreak, meaning your "gnome" or "part of gnome" argument is about nullified
[10:06] <Harti> slackern: i dont have gnome-cups-manger on my sys
[10:06] <Harti> sladen: i dont have gnome-cups-manger on my sys
[10:06] <ProN00b> pundai, alot of people already use thunderbird on windows, it would make switching easyer
[10:06] <sladen> Harti: I'm not sure how cups on :631 interacts with sudo
[10:06] <Harti> slackern: i have a customized xfce install and will add printer without gnome-cups-manager
[10:06] <gnomefreak> ProN00b: no its not evolution is part of gnome ubuntu devels decided to keep it as default
[10:07] <Mabus06> Why can my P4 2.8ghz processor not even handle running xchat, gaim, and totem at the same time without freaking out?
[10:07] <pundai> i would be all for replacing evolution with something like the 1.0 evolution
[10:07] <Harti> slackern: sorry ^^
[10:07] <tritium> ProN00b: evolution has features thunderbird does not support, such as exchange accounts.
[10:07] <Harti> sladen: sudo goes not
[10:07] <ProN00b> gnomefreak, epiphany is a part of gnome too, still its not on ubuntu
[10:07] <denver> what is the package name for flash player plugin for firefox
[10:07] <gnomefreak> ProN00b: i dont understand its on my ubuntu
[10:07] <ProN00b> tritium, exchange is microsoft technology, noone uses that, thats a reason for evolution to exist, not to have it as default on a distro
[10:08] <_jason> denver: flashplugin-nonfree in multiverse
[10:08] <denver> thanks
[10:08] <pundai> no one uses exchange...
[10:08] <pundai> ok buddy
[10:08] <gnomefreak> ProN00b: when i say evolution is part of gnome i mean its built into gnome
[10:08] <ProN00b> gnomefreak, epiphany isn't on my ubuntu
[10:08] <denver> i guess i need to add that to apt sources
[10:08] <_jason> ubotu: tell denver about multiverse
[10:08] <ProN00b> gnomefreak, what do you mean its build into gnome
[10:09] <ben42> Harti: you can try out this; http://bhaubeck.dyndns.org/wordpress/index.php/2005/12/21/ubuntu-breezy-cups-aktivieren-so-geht-das-wirklich/
[10:09] <gnomefreak> just like konkurer is built insto k-desktop
[10:09] <ben42> Harti: mostly in english
[10:09] <ProN00b> thats wrong, gnomefreak
[10:09] <gnomefreak> ProN00b: its part of gnome source code iirc
[10:09] <_jason> ProN00b: evolution is integrated into the gnome desktop, for example the calendar you get when you click on your clock
[10:09] <tritium> ProN00b: you are incorrect in thinking that nobody uses it.
[10:09] <funkyHat> ProN00b, built in like, the time applet displays evolution appointments if you click on it
[10:09] <ironcladlou> does anybody know if the latest dapper's gnome installation even has compositing compiled in?
[10:09] <Harti> ben42: thanks
[10:09] <ProN00b> it just means it has been made with gnome libs
[10:09] <tritium> ProN00b: many of us need it in our work environments, for one thing
[10:09] <tritium> pundai: many companies use it
[10:10] <KenSentMe> i'm running this howto http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/ to install a postfix-courier-mysql mailserver. To test my settings i have to do 'telnet servername 25', but when i fill in localhost or something else i can't do other commands like ehlo. What am i doing wrong?
[10:10] <pundai> tritium, i wasnt implying something else
[10:10] <pundai> i was being sarcastic
[10:10] <ProN00b> tritium, if you want to drag it to a level of how many people use it, thunderbird will win because it runs on windows too
[10:10] <tritium> ProN00b: it may run on windows, but it doesn't support exchange, of which there are _many_ users
[10:11] <slackern> Harti: :)
[10:11] <gnomefreak> ok this has gotten to be more than just a question answer can we move it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:11] <abarbaccia> hey all - quick question - whats the easiest way of backing up a partition to replicate it on another drive with a different sized partition?
[10:11] <abarbaccia> can i somehow just tar it and move it over?
[10:11] <tritium> abarbaccia: partimage
[10:11] <ProN00b> gnomefreak, nah, i will just ask again in ubuntu-devel
[10:11] <bbrazil> abarbaccia: for a different (smaller) size tar is good
[10:11] <pepo> eth1      Interface doesn't support IP addresses, how i can do for my interface can get ip?
[10:11] <Abountu> when I start synaptic it's giving me a warning at the begining: W: couldn't stat source package list cdrom://ubuntu 5.10_Breezy_Badger ..... stat (2 No such file or directory)
[10:12] <pundai> btw, does anyone now why in dapper i cannot use alt-f2 to run applications anymore
[10:12] <shutdownrunner> where in /etc/ do I configure wireless card? I mean, I'm currently using my own script that I put into rc2.d and I'd like to do this in a bit nicer way
[10:12] <Abountu> how serious is that?
[10:12] <roniez> is it easy to switch from kubuntu to ubuntu?
[10:12] <abarbaccia> well, the partition i don't know the size of, all i know is the drive is a different size so i can't just DD the whole thing
[10:12] <NickGarvey> roniez: very
[10:12] <roniez> witch out  reinstalling.?
[10:12] <roniez> with*
[10:12] <bbrazil> abarbaccia: it's expecting the cd in the drive. Assuming you've other sources it's not an issue
[10:12] <NickGarvey> roniez: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:12] <NickGarvey> roniez: that easy ;)
[10:13] <roniez> kk can i then do remove kubuntu-desktop?
[10:13] <roniez> apt-get remove kubuntu i mean.
[10:13] <shutdownrunner> roniez:well first install gnome and then remove kde:)
[10:13] <NickGarvey> roniez: I.. think..?
[10:13] <roniez> of course.
[10:13] <Rayman_> roniez: it's not that easy?
[10:13] <NickGarvey> roniez: never done it so I wouldn't know
[10:14] <ProN00b> abarbaccia, just find out the size
[10:14] <gnomefreak> roniez: no
[10:14] <abarbaccia> ProN00b: size of what? the partition or the drive?
[10:14] <gnomefreak> sudo apt-get remove libqt3-mt
[10:14] <Mabus06> roniez: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop, and then sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[10:14] <gnomefreak> Mabus06: ubuntu-desktop ;)
[10:14] <tritium> Mabus06: ubuntu-desktop
[10:14] <NickGarvey> Mabus06: ubuntu-desktop
[10:14] <NickGarvey> I felt left out
[10:15] <gnomefreak> and apt wont remove kubuntu-desktop
[10:15] <roniez> i was starting to like ubuntu more..
[10:15] <gnomefreak> well it will only remove that none of the apps or anything else
[10:15] <roniez> for some odd reason, i like kde sure, but ubuntu had better stuff.
[10:15] <Mabus06> gnomefreak for the win
[10:15] <gnomefreak> roniez: you can run them both
[10:15] <blaze> can i build exe files with Anjuta?
[10:15] <roniez> i onlt got a 20gb harddrive
[10:16] <roniez> i am using it on a laptop
[10:16] <lanselot> hello folks :) i want to ask you how to install and configure smtp server under ubuntu :)
[10:16] <ProN00b> abarbaccia, the partition
[10:16] <abarbaccia> should i just use this partimage software?
[10:16] <ProN00b> abarbaccia, what do you want to copy, a partition ?
[10:16] <zcat[1] > lanselot: sudo apt-get install postfix
[10:16] <blaze> =D
[10:16] <gnomefreak> blaze: i dont think you can but never tried im sure you would have to have another librart/app to make them cross platform
[10:17] <gnomefreak> library even
[10:17] <blaze> ok.. thanks gnomefreak :)
[10:17] <abarbaccia> ProN00b: i want to make a copy of the computer i have right now on a computer with identical hardware but a different HD size
[10:17] <Abountu> I have a warning whenever I start synaptic
[10:17] <lanselot> 10x zcat[1]  :) i'll try it
[10:17] <Abountu> can any one help?
[10:17] <gnomefreak> Abountu: what is the warning?
[10:18] <ProN00b> abarbaccia, well, you can't do that if the new disk is smaller, can you ?
[10:18] <abarbaccia> ProN00b: i only need the 1st partition, my home dir is in the 2nd partition and i dont care about that
[10:18] <Abountu> gnomefreak: it complains about files not found    W: couldn't stat source package list ( cdrom://ubuntu 5.10_Breezy_Badger....stat (2 No such file or directory)
[10:19] <ProN00b> abarbaccia, well, as long as the new disk is equal in size or bigger, you can just dd over the whole disk
[10:19] <gnomefreak> Abountu: can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file to pastebin please
[10:19] <Larsson-Sweden> I am using fluxbox with a theme. The menu, toolbars etc are that theme, but GTK application is grey and very ugly. For example, this xchat window is grey. Can this be fixed?
[10:19] <Skwid_> how do i use nautilus scripts that are in my home folder ?
[10:19] <abarbaccia> ProN00b: no, i can't do that - and i only want the 1st partition
[10:19] <gnomefreak> Abountu: i have this feeling all you need to do is add a # infront of the cdrom repo
[10:19] <_jason> Skwid_: put them in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ and make sure they are +x
[10:20] <Skwid_> _jason: yep, did that, but in nautilus ?
[10:20] <ProN00b> abarbaccia, no idea how to do that, try the tool that some people recommended here
[10:20] <_jason> Skwid_: right click and there should be a scripts menu
[10:20] <Abountu> gnomefreak: where can I find the pastbin?
[10:20] <high-freq> Larsson-Sweden: have u tried Settings and then preferences?
[10:20] <gnomefreak> !pastebin
[10:20] <ubotu> I guess pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[10:20] <serp> what file do I use to generate new locales in dapper? /etc/locale.gen doesn't exist

[10:31] <ranpha> hi is the sound card on a ICH6 supported in ubuntu dapper 6.06???
[10:31] <XiXaQ> hmm. Suddenly, I cannot open downloaded .torrent-files. The programs doesn't recognize the encoding. Does anyone recognize the problem?
[10:31] <tritium> serp: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[10:32] <tritium> yes, ranpha
[10:32] <Ponijs> ah, xgamma
[10:32] <serp> tritium: that doesn't give me any options
[10:32] <serp> it just goes through the existing locales and says that thy're varified
[10:33] <ranpha> good...because the only distri that give a sound is opensuse and i don't find it working proberly
[10:33] <aLPHa_LeaK> n8
[10:33] <slackern> serp: System->Administratior->Language Support
[10:33] <slackern> Administratior/Administration
[10:33] <tritium> serp: see if you have that.  It may only be in dapper (can't recall if it's in breezy)
[10:34] <ProN00b> ranpha, you need to find out what audio driver the suse kernel uses and then you can enable that driver in the ubuntu kernel by adding it as a module or recompiling the kernel
[10:34] <slackern> tritium: ahh you might be right im running dapper only.
[10:34] <ocked> me likey ubuntu dapper beta
[10:34] <Ponijs> xgamma, it does nothing
[10:34] <serp> I'm on dapper too
[10:34] <Ponijs> I write xgamma -gamma 2.5 and nothing happens
[10:34] <serp> otherwise I wouldn't ask about dapper :P
[10:34] <Old> how do i give a user full access on my ftp to a dir? It seems like when he creates a folder in /var/www/cstrike/ he cant access it, but he can access the other folders.
[10:35] <slackern> serp: you should actually post in #ubuntu+1 channel then too :)
[10:35] <tritium> serp: this is not the channel for dapper (#ubuntu+1 is)
[10:35] <serp> oh cool I didn't know that
[10:35] <serp> thanks

[10:41] <szoller> Can someone help me? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14026
[10:43] <ocked> ooh ooh, i'll try!
[10:43] <tritium> szoller: do you have a glib development library installed?
[10:43] <szoller> sure
[10:43] <szoller> 1.2 and 2.0
[10:43] <tritium> szoller: libglib2.0-dev ?
[10:44] <sladen> pundai: if you press the Fn-Esc combination lots of times and use  'acpi_listen', does it always so  '000013' at the end, or does that number change?
[10:44] <keNzi> guys, how i can install new icons ?
[10:44] <ocked> might want to check out your gtk libraries, hrm
[10:44] <szoller> yes I have
[10:44] <ocked> i'm clueless, i'd be checking out the configure file
[10:44] <AlmtyBob> for some reason I have mysql 4.0 installed on my ubuntu box wiht mythtv, I want version 4.1, is it possible to upgrade without disturbing my databses?
[10:44] <sladen> keNzi: System->Prefences->Themes->Install New Theme
[10:45] <ocked> AlmtyBob, back up your database and try it
[10:45] <AlmtyBob> is there a simple command for backing up a database?
[10:45] <szoller> tritium, another idea?
[10:45] <ocked> AlmtyBob, ummm, i forget, lemme check
[10:45] <Ponijs> usermod: unknown group wheel
[10:46] <Ponijs> huh?
[10:46] <Ponijs> PATIENCE
[10:46] <tritium> szoller: no, sorry
[10:46] <Ponijs> IT DOES NOTHING
[10:46] <szoller> :(
[10:46] <ocked> AlmtyBob, http://www.devshed.com/c/a/MySQL/Backing-up-and-restoring-your-MySQL-Database/
[10:46] <Old> how do i give a user full access on my ftp to a dir? It seems like when he creates a folder in /var/www/cstrike/ he cant access it, but he can access the other folders.

[10:46] <KingDong>  Hi ppls, I was wondering how to dissable the need for admin password when certain programs start up so I dont have to enter passwords all day. Can anyone help please?
[10:46] <Abountu> I am trying to run GoogleEarth through wine, somebody gave me the link http://ubuntu.cc.com.au to search in.. but there are no entries for google earth there
[10:46] <tritium> Ponijs: 10 minutes...
[10:46] <ocked> AlmtyBob, I'd test the backup and restore before doing the upgrade though
[10:47] <ocked> AlmtyBob, just to make sure you won't lose your data
[10:47] <Old> Anyone Trinisan ?
[10:47] <Old> tritium * ?
[10:48] <tritium> Old: what?
[10:48] <satya> can anyone tell me what is "autopoint" command and how I can get it for ubuntu..thanks!
[10:48] <tritium> satya: never heard of it
[10:49] <KingDong>  Hi ppls, I was wondering how to dissable the need for admin password when certain programs start up so I dont have to enter passwords all day. Can anyone help please?
[10:49] <ocked> Old, it may have to do with what the default permissions of created items are for the ftp user
[10:49] <ocked> Old, if he creates a folder and doesn't have execute permissions on it he can't navigate to it
[10:50] <AlmtyBob> why is it that the package manager lists "mysql-server" which is 4.0 and below that it has "mysql-server-4.1"?
[10:50] <AlmtyBob> do I need to uninstall 4.0 before I install 4.1?
[10:50] <szoller> tritium,  the line of the script, that causes the problem contains: "   { (exit gtk \and gaim required); exit gtk \and gaim required; }; }"
[10:50] <King911> nogle dansker?
[10:51] <ocked> AlmtyBob, the metapackage depends on 4.0 probably for some compatibility reasons
[10:51] <needlez> does anyone know how to get Nvidia drivers installed?
[10:51] <tritium> !nvidia
[10:51] <ubotu> Help about installing the nVidia drivers on Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[10:51] <tritium> szoller: sorry, not sure
[10:51] <satya> tritium, google gave me this:http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/unix/a/autopoint.html
[10:51] <szoller> okay :(
[10:51] <ocked> AlmtyBob, and if you needed to uninstall 4.0 to install 4.1, the package manager would warn you
[10:51] <astrisk> while installing a package i got this msg "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)" so can any one tell me what to do??
[10:51] <ocked> AlmtyBob, and furthermore, why bother updating it?
[10:52] <AlmtyBob> ocked: stupid 4.0 doesn't have support have subqueries
[10:52] <ocked> AlmtyBob, if it works now and you have no reason to upgrade, why bother?
[10:52] <ocked> ouch
[10:52] <tritium> satya: you'll have to install from source.  it's not in the ubuntu repos
[10:52] <ocked> no subqueries?
[10:52] <AlmtyBob> and it's driving me nuts while trying to work with a many-to-many relationship I have
[10:52] <ocked> that's lame
[10:52] <Old> ocked, how do i give him the permissions?
[10:52] <AlmtyBob> yah isn't that the stupidest thing you've ever heard?
[10:52] <astrisk> while installing a package i got this msg "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)" so can any one tell me what to do??
[10:52] <tritium> no
[10:52] <AlmtyBob> even Microsoft Jet (access) has subqueries
[10:52] <satya> tritium: thanks, any idea where I can find the source then?
[10:52] <ocked> Old, not sure, might be ftp server dependent
[10:52] <tritium> satya: nope
[10:52] <ocked> Old, see the docs for the individual program
[10:52] <satya> ok thanks;
[10:53] <King911> gay?
[10:53] <ocked> AlmtyBob, yeah, that's bizarre.  Are you not for moving to dapper?  It uses 5.0 by default
[10:53] <NickGarvey> !tell King911 about gay
[10:53] <KingDong> How do I change programs permissions to allow any user to use it without a root password?
[10:53] <Old> ocked, been searching for hours, going nuts tbh.
[10:53] <AlmtyBob> when is dapper out?
[10:53] <astrisk> while installing a package i got this msg "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)" so can any one tell me what to do??
[10:53] <ocked> AlmtyBob, it's in beta, but it's being released in June, so it's very stable already
[10:54] <ocked> AlmtyBob, I'm already using it for three servers
[10:54] <AlmtyBob> it's been such a pain in the ass setting up breezy for my mythtv box I'll probably
[10:54] <ocked> Old, What FTP server?
[10:54] <AlmtyBob> wait
[10:54] <ocked> wait?
[10:54] <ocked> Old, proftpd? vsftpd?
[10:54] <astrisk> hello can any one help me..
[10:54] <AlmtyBob> I didn't complete my thought "setup's been such a pain in the ass I'll probably wait" is what I mean to say
[10:54] <AlmtyBob> 5.0 does look nice though
[10:55] <Old> proftpd ocked
[10:55] <ocked> astrisk, do you have anything using apt at the moment?
[10:55] <KingDong> How do I change programs permissions to allow any user to use it without a root password?
[10:55] <astrisk> ya also while using apt i got the same msg..
[10:55] <ocked> Old, just fyi, btw, proftpd has an excellent graphical configuration utility in dapper
[10:56] <ocked> astrisk, make sure the program installing the package is the only one using apt
[10:56] <ocked> astrisk, and the only one using dpkg
[10:56] <Old> ocked, im using ubuntu server :(
[10:56] <The_Hague> question: are the download images available on ubuntu.com updated regularly to include the latest patches or is it that once its released that image stays static and you just get the updates by doing; apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[10:56] <ocked> AlmtyBob, really there's no point on waiting anymore on dapper, it's pretty nice
[10:57] <ocked> The_Hague, they're static
[10:57] <ocked> The_Hague, update and upgrade
[10:57] <tritium> The_Hague: there are daily cdimage updates for development versions, but not for stable releases
[10:57] <astrisk> ocked, means i have to install using dpkg??
[10:57] <The_Hague> ok thats what i thought
[10:58] <The_Hague> is daper usable?
[10:58] <ocked> astrisk, no, it likely means something else is using apt at the moment so it can't get a lock and use it.  Only one application can use apt at a time
[10:58] <KingDong> How do I change programs permissions to allow any user to use it without a root password?
[10:58] <ocked> The_Hague, very much so, they're just working out the bugs for the final release next month
[10:58] <TheFuzzball> when I play sound in any app I can't hear it, but it is playing, and its not muted...
[10:58] <ocked> KingDong, depends on the program, it may be all but impossible
[10:58] <TheFuzzball> how do I fix this please
[10:58] <pundai> did smeone ping me
[10:58] <tritium> !tell KingDong about repeat
[10:59] <The_Hague> when is the release date?, should I just go ahead and grab daper n e wayz since Im doing an install today on me laptop?
[10:59] <tritium> June 1
[10:59] <astrisk> ocked, but i m not using synaptic also not installing update then who is using??
[10:59] <The_Hague> ok
[10:59] <KingDong> ocked, its my firewall
[10:59] <ocked> astrisk, i really don't know
[10:59] <koyotefr> Hi all, I'm looking for uninstall libraries
[10:59] <ocked> KingDong, you may not want another user to be able to use it.  Can you use gksudo or sudo to run it?
[10:59] <The_Hague> flight 7 is what I want huh

[11:03] <ubuntu> I'm looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, Using the LiveCD and overwriting the Windows Bootloader--"4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub)." How do i find out what my harddisk + partition numbers are, especially when I have linux on one hard-disk, and Windows on another?
[11:03] <tritium> Old: language please
[11:03] <astrisk> ocked, also while opening synaptic i got the following msg..http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14028
[11:03] <ocked> Old, well, if you're trying to run an ftp server it's probably a good idea to figure it out
[11:04] <Old> ocked, It really doesnt give me any information, As I cant seem to find any examples, etc.
[11:04] <Old> tritium, sorry. Could you perhaps help me?  Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[11:05] <apokryphos> Champpc: of ubuntu?
[11:05] <Joetheodd> NickGarvey: huh?
[11:05] <pundai> hehehe
[11:05] <sladen> !justask
[11:05] <ubotu> - Ask your question and we'll try to answer it.
[11:05] <ocked> Champpc, sorry, not me
[11:05] <Champpc> yeah
[11:05] <tritium> Old: use chmod
[11:05] <apokryphos> Champpc: many in here are
[11:05] <Old> could you give me an example? Im not so experienced with ubuntu
[11:05] <Champpc> wondering what kind of issues i should expect
[11:05] <NickGarvey> Joetheodd: "you speak english?" "hablas ingles?"
[11:06] <ubuntu> sladen, I get:
[11:06] <ubuntu> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/fstab
[11:06] <ubuntu> /dev/mapper/casper-snapshot / auto noatime 0 0
[11:06] <ubuntu> tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0

[11:06] <NickGarvey> !paste
[11:06] <Joetheodd> NickGarvey, oh.
[11:06] <ubotu> Please don't flood the channel! For best results use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and tell people the URL
[11:06] <ocked> tritium, that's only a temporary fix, he wants the directories created by the ftp user to be accessible
[11:06] <apokryphos> Champpc: no flash, no w32codecs.
[11:06] <alsa> what do i need to install to play avi vidz
[11:06] <Old> NickGarvey knows, remember me nick?
[11:06] <apokryphos> alsa: /msg ubotu restricted
[11:06] <NickGarvey> Old: yup
[11:06] <Champpc> or is there a siye dedicated to the x64  version? like whats needed to use 32bit apps and stuff
[11:06] <tritium> ocked: oh, he didn't specify that to me
[11:06] <selinium> !tell alsa about restricted
[11:06] <ocked> tritium, yeah, he's having proftpd issues
[11:06] <DeepBeigeMac> I need some help installing Ubuntu Linux on a Mac
[11:06] <sladen> ubuntu: okay, do   sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[11:07] <apokryphos> Champpc: the only way in Ubuntu is to make a 32bit chroot
[11:07] <apokryphos> Ubuntu is unfortunately not BiArch
[11:07] <NickGarvey> Champpc: most 64 bit processors are backwards compatable with 32 bit programs
[11:07] <sladen> ubuntu: and look for the big one labelled Linux
[11:07] <alsa> how about this
[11:07] <alsa> ubuntu keeps my session saved
[11:07] <vitali> hi all
[11:07] <apokryphos> NickGarvey: yes, but you'd need to have a full new installation of Ubuntu, as it's not BiArch
[11:07] <alsa> i cant let it reboot into a fresh session
[11:07] <ocked> tritium, I pointed him here, I've got a project to do, but this seems to address it: http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Umask.html
[11:07] <ubuntu> sladen, nothing happens
[11:07] <ubuntu> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[11:07] <ubuntu> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[11:07] <Old> Hey, could you help me out NickGarvey? Im having troubles with my ftp account, I want him to be able to see all the dirs, access them, change them, (full access) in /var/www/cstrike - but when he creates a new dir, he cant enter it.
[11:07] <alsa> i think its getting a slow performance in loading
[11:07] <sladen> NickGarvey: all amd64 ones are.   Others, (Sparc64, Itanium, Power4, Alpha... aren't)
[11:07] <tritium> ocked: thanks for point him to that.
[11:08] <sladen> ubuntu: sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda
[11:08] <astrisk> ocked, while reloading i get the following error msg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14029
[11:08] <duckdown> Hey all... How can I make it so directories starting with .'s visible in programs when I have to browse for files?  It's getting VERY annoying.  For example, when I need to select "Sound" files, I can't access /home/duckdown/.xchat2/sounds because .xchat2 isn't visible in the file browser.  This goes for anything in GNOME.
[11:08] <ubuntu> ubuntu is on my second hard drive
[11:08] <Champpc> apok, seriously? so its not as compatible as say 64bit suse? they have biarch
[11:08] <sladen> duckdown: .* dotfiles are hidden files
[11:08] <ubuntu>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[11:08] <ubuntu> /dev/hda1   *           1        9728    78140128+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[11:08] <apokryphos> Champpc: that's correct.
[11:08] <sladen> duckdown: if you just start typing the name of the hidden folder you can enter it
[11:08] <tritium> ubuntu: please don't paste here, ok?
[11:09] <apokryphos> Champpc: it's quite sad :(
[11:09] <ubuntu> ...
[11:09] <EnterUserName> bah
[11:09] <burzum> ubuntu - pastebin.com
[11:09] <EnterUserName> darn u ubuntug uys :)
[11:09] <ubuntu> I thought there was a 4 line rule or something like that
[11:09] <Old> NickGarvey, have any ideas regarding that trouble? As the user cant access the dir's he just created the ftp account is useless to him.
[11:09] <alsa> any one here knows how to make ubuntu STOP saving the session
[11:09] <sladen> ubuntu: you don't appear to have any Linux partitions?  Did you wipe them when installing Windows?
[11:09] <Champpc> ok, thanks again guys
[11:09] <ubuntu> They are on my second hard disk, like I said
[11:09] <ubuntu> as far as I know, hda is hard drive 1
[11:09] <pundai> hey sladen so sleep works now
[11:10] <james_xxx> what is the relationship between ubuntu and mepis? sometimes i see references to "ubunto-mepis" as if they were (at least nearly) the same thing
[11:10] <apokryphos> james_xxx: mepis is now being based on kubuntu
[11:10] <apokryphos> james_xxx: previously it was based directly on debian
[11:10] <james_xxx> ty apokryphos
[11:11] <sladen> pundai: okay, and is restores probably?  In which case I can white-list it
[11:11] <ubuntu> doing the same with HDB gives me three partitions, my swap, my linux, and Extended
[11:11] <Arrick> hey ompaul you here?
[11:11] <Arrick> nickrud, you here?
[11:11] <alsa> !saved session
[11:11] <ubotu> alsa: Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[11:11] <james_xxx> if i installed  KDE on my ubuntu system, would it bear some resemblance to mepis?
[11:11] <duckdown> sladen: I can't manually enter anything.  There is just an arrow indicating "cd .." and a box where I can select like /home or /home/duckdown, and then two buttons that say OK or CANCEL
[11:11] <pundai> sladen, yep
[11:11] <dmbt> hey, any of you use tscp before in ubuntu?
[11:11] <pundai> it suspends to ram and disk perfectly
[11:11] <pundai> just not the Fn keys
[11:12] <C-O-L-T> how to convert an rpm file to deb with alien? I mean what is the commnad
[11:12] <alsa> any one know how to disable my ubuntu from saving the session after i log out ?
[11:12] <alsa> i uncheck the option on logout menu
[11:12] <sladen> ubuntu: in that case it would be   hd(1,1)  (second disk, second partition, counting from zero)
[11:12] <apokryphos> C-O-L-T: man alien
[11:12] <alsa> but it keeps saving the session
[11:12] <C-O-L-T> apokryphos: man alien and file name?
[11:12] <apokryphos> C-O-L-T: man alien to find out its usage 8)
[11:12] <james_xxx> how does one install the KDE desktop in ubuntu?
[11:12] <sladen> duckdown: in nautilus just type the filename
[11:12] <apokryphos> james_xxx: /msg ubotu kubuntu
[11:12] <tritium> james_xxx: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:12] <duckdown> sladen: let me try, thanks
[11:12] <james_xxx> ty agaib apok
[11:12] <sladen> duckdown: in any of the open dialogue boxes,  type  Ctrl-L and then the filename
[11:12] <ubuntu> sladen: Error 11: Unrecognized device string
[11:13] <duckdown> Ahh!
[11:13] <duckdown> sladen: Thank you!!
[11:13] <ubuntu> and the first partition was linux, I just put it in wrong order when I typed it, so I did hd(1,0)
[11:13] <duckdown> ctrl-l did it
[11:13] <alsa> doesnt any one here know how solve this issue
[11:13] <ubuntu> is it (hd1,0)?
[11:13] <sladen> ubuntu: what did fdisk -l  tell you for your Linux partition?   /dev/hda2 ?
[11:13] <trip348> hi, I need some help. I messed up during the tutorial to mount ntfs under dapper. Definitly did something wrong

[11:14] <ubuntu> it might have been 3
[11:14] <curuptura> hi channel
[11:15] <ubuntu> but I'm pretty sure this is 3 or under
[11:15] <tritium> ubuntu: like I said, please use pastebin (see the topic)
[11:15] <curuptura> i wanna ask a question
[11:15] <sladen> ubuntu: the order you gave the first time was different,  try  (hd1,0)
[11:15] <ubuntu> sladen: Yeah.
[11:15] <curuptura> one of my friends want to use ubuntu istead of windows
[11:15] <ubuntu> sorry about that
[11:15] <curuptura> and he want to know if it works fine with netgear wireless networking
[11:15] <curuptura> ?
[11:15] <sladen> curuptura: "try it", "probably"
[11:16] <curuptura>  the ma311 card
[11:16] <sladen> curuptura: "file a bug if it doesn't"
[11:16] <ubuntu> It gives error 21, the selected disk apparently does not exist
[11:16] <sladen> curuptura: http://www.google.com/search?q=ma311+ubuntu
[11:16] <shoofle> In synaptic, it has been stuck all day since much earlier on one step:
[11:16] <sladen> ubuntu: fun.  Are you running grub with sudo ?
[11:16] <curuptura> thanx sladen
[11:16] <ubuntu> sladen--er
[11:16] <ubuntu> oops
[11:17] <shoofle> not anymore!
[11:17] <ubuntu> sladen: Now I am, I'll try again

[11:17] <dmbt> any of you familar withthe tscp client?
[11:17] <ubuntu> shoot!
[11:17] <newbuntie> I do sudo hdparm /dev/hda and the IO_suppport is 0 (defalt is 16-bit) what does that mean and should this be set to 16 bit?
[11:17] <mrbay> hello
[11:18] <tritium> Asked you nicely many times, ubuntu.  See you in 10 minutes...
[11:18] <valdis> hey
[11:19] <sladen> newbuntie: if you don't know what it means, either Google, or leave it set as the default
[11:20] <james_xxx> ok i am trying to install the KDE desktop and am running into several issues
[11:20] <cdubya> afternoon, all.
[11:20] <james_xxx> " Depends: konq-plugins but it is not going to be installed"
[11:21] <james_xxx> what are 'unresolvable dependencies'?
[11:21] <cusco> hi
[11:22] <needlez> does anyone know if there are centrios drivers (centrios is the company) for their digital camera's?
[11:22] <apokryphos> james_xxx: when you try to compile and don't have the sufficient package dependencies, those are unresolvable depends
[11:22] <Ra211> Suppose someone hacked my Ubuntu-installation over the internet, where can I check log files to see if someone had access? A couple of unexpected things happened
[11:22] <bbrazil> Ra211: /var/log
[11:22] <james_xxx> how do i resolve these unresolvable dependencies?
[11:22] <ale3hs_> how I install java 5 ?? I got java (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
[11:23] <james_xxx> :-D
[11:23] <bbrazil> Ra211: in particular auth.log and messages
[11:23] <apokryphos> james_xxx: sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename>
[11:23] <Flannel> Ra211: /var/log/
[11:23] <mirak> I am using pam_mount to mount at login a fuse mount with smbnetfs. actually this works, but the problem is that it's mounted under root, so I lost the possiblity to use per user config with ~/.smb/ . But with ~/.pam_mount.conf, I can try to mount as a user, but the problem is that mount can only be run by root. What solution is there ?
[11:23] <cdubya> !java
[11:23] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[11:23] <james_xxx> apok, you are a big help
[11:23] <cusco> check /var/log/auth.log
[11:23] <apokryphos> james_xxx: one of the great things about the APT package management system =)
[11:23] <james_xxx> awesome
[11:23] <cdubya> ale3hs, look at that wiki link
[11:23] <||NiceBoy||> hello
[11:23] <cusco> hello
[11:23] <Nullified> !mount
[11:23] <ubotu> mount is, like, totally, the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f

[11:24] <james_xxx> apokry, what should i enter as the packsge name?? kubuntu?
[11:24] <sladen> needlz_: most cameras just show up as hard-disks ("mass storage devices") when you plug them in
[11:24] <apokryphos> james_xxx: what package are you trying to compile
[11:24] <sladen> needlz_: and should automatically show up on the desktop

[11:25] <phanter> hello peoples. All my window borders disappeared. How can I load them manually?
[11:25] <apokryphos> james_xxx: build-dep is only for compiling from source, not installing packages.
[11:25] <||NiceBoy||> and now is not black but after editing xorg.conf he is brown
[11:25] <sladen> mirak: there's a  uid=  option to mount

[11:31] <lesha> apokryphos: no stop, i want to stop the service
[11:31] <Sourced> anyways cya all
[11:31] <apokryphos> lesha: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[11:31] <apokryphos> lesha: killing it is stopping it
[11:32] <lesha> apokryphos: thanks
[11:32] <james_xxx> apokryphos, i get a slew of errors... i will paste a few

[11:33] <Nullified> Guys, I really need help, Anyone know why ubuntu picks up my DVD RW but doesnt recognise media in it. CD/Music/DVD-R's....
[11:33] <Skwid__> hey guys
[11:33] <lesha> apokryphos: my problem actually is that my native resolution is 1024x768 and that is the only thing defined in /etc/X11/xorg.conf however X is always in 800x600 and trying to set resolution only gives me 800x600 and 640x480
[11:33] <Skwid__> do you know a good mp3 tag editor ???
[11:33] <Skwid__> what about an xml editor ???
[11:33] <facugaich> where can I put some commands to be run at boot?
[11:33] <apokryphos> lesha: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:33] <chmmr> hi folks.  i'm having a problem getting a certain refresh rate available.  i've followed the tutorials on the forums to edit my xorg.conf file, and added a custom ModeLine to it, but nothing seems to give me the exact refresh rate / resolution combo I want.
[11:34] <james_xxx> apokryphos, i am not sure how to use that. forgive me for my ignorance
[11:34] <apokryphos> lesha: or better: /msg ubotu resolution
[11:34] <apokryphos> james_xxx: no problem. Go to the link above, and just paste the content in there and press "Send". Once that's done, produce the URL in here
[11:34] <chmmr> are there any gotchas with Modelines that i should know about, maybe?
[11:34] <lesha> apokryphos: kk thanks will try :)
[11:34] <nameless|f00d> someone willing to help an utter n00b?
[11:34] <nameless|f00d> i'm about to smash my head in a wall :(
[11:35] <cdubya> nameless|f00d, go ahead and ask
[11:35] <apokryphos> !helpme
[11:35] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we cannot actually help you. :)

[11:35] <needlez> is there a version of konquerer (sp?) for the gnome systems?or perhaps a different program entirely? i just want a windows commander (total commander) type program to manage all my file.
[11:35] <cdubya> heh
[11:35] <apokryphos> needlez: gnome has nautilus
[11:35] <nameless|f00d> got issues with adding a user via adduser, i want to create a user which isnt capable of getting out of his home dir
[11:35] <cdubya> yeah, nautilus
[11:35] <nameless|f00d> how todo that?
[11:35] <ahmad> hello
[11:35] <apokryphos> needlez: which has ftp too, but no browser.

[11:36] <needlez> no browser?
[11:36] <apokryphos> ahmad: not without telling anyone what it is :P
[11:36] <Nullified> Guys, I really need help, Anyone know why ubuntu picks up my DVD RW but doesnt recognise media in it. CD/Music/DVD-R's....
[11:36] <apokryphos> needlez: web browser, that is.

[11:36] <ahmad> I have unpackcked a tar.gz file, and i went to the INSTALL file, and i need assisstance
[11:36] <james_xxx> apokryphos, i pated it to the bin
[11:37] <apokryphos> seb_: you might have to reconfigure your Xorg to use it, though (on rare occassions).
[11:37] <apokryphos> james_xxx: link?
[11:37] <apokryphos> ahmad: you're trying to compile from source?
[11:37] <chmmr> needlez: if you're specifically looking for a two-pane file manager, i use Gnome COmmander
[11:37] <ahmad> yes i am apokrypho
[11:37] <high-freq> ahmad: read the INSTALL or README file it comes with...it tells about it...but normally its  ./Configure && make && sudo make install
[11:37] <james_xxx> apokryphos, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14032
[11:37] <cdubya> nameless|f00d, when you say not able to get out of their home dir, I'm guessing you mean no rwx access?
[11:37] <nameless|f00d> cdubya remember the n00b part i started with :P i mean not being able to cd ..
[11:37] <apokryphos> high-freq: best to let them know that packages are the recommended method of installation for 99% of packages ;-)
[11:37] <ahmad> high, i sdont know hwo to anvigate with the terminal soi need a pro to assist me
[11:37] <Chri[s] > Wow i can not get my printer to work
[11:37] <facugaich> Where can I put some commands to be run at boot?
[11:37] <high-freq> tru
[11:38] <apokryphos> ahmad: what are yout rying to compile?
[11:38] <cdubya> nameless|f00d, lol
[11:38] <ahmad> qtella
[11:38] <high-freq> ahmad: always look in the repositories...if there is a package u want
[11:38] <cdubya> nameless|f00d, are you booting gnome?
[11:38] <nameless|f00d> no
[11:38] <nameless|f00d> just plain shell
[11:38] <Chri[s] > wow this sucks
[11:38] <apokryphos> ahmad: it's really not very good :P
[11:38] <high-freq> ahmad:  u can load up synaptic and do a search...always good before u start d/l and compile yourself
[11:39] <ahmad> k thanks high
[11:39] <high-freq> np
[11:39] <ahmad> well now  know its not good
[11:39] <apokryphos> ahmad: and, actually, it's never worked properly for me after many tries.
[11:39] <seb_> apokryphos it is plugged in :P but its not working
[11:39] <ahmad> do you know any good linux p2p?
[11:39] <cdubya> nameless|f00d, heh, gluttoned for punishment, or just looking to learn a lot real fast?
[11:39] <apokryphos> ahmad: gtk-gnutella and limewire are both ok
[11:39] <facugaich> ahmad, aMule
[11:39] <high-freq> ahmad: azureus is what i've used...and giFT
[11:39] <Ponijs> how do I allow a user to use root if moduser -G wheel doesn't work?
[11:39] <apokryphos> ahmad: gtk-gnutella is available from the repositories. fire up synaptic and select it for installation
[11:39] <ahmad> thanks man
[11:39] <james_xxx> apokryphos, i probably did the most wreckless install of ubuntu possible. did what i pasted give you any clues?
[11:39] <ahmad> I love you
[11:39] <apokryphos> seb_: reconfigure your Xorg. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:39] <bewire> Hello I have the following tv card Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FM1216ME  MK3), good picture but no sound, worked in winXP. Anyone who can help ?
[11:40] <needlez> chmmr, where can i get gnome commander?
[11:40] <nameless|f00d> cdubya well ussually after googling i manage to find solutions for my problems
[11:40] <apokryphos> james_xxx: what command did you just run there?
[11:40] <nameless|f00d> cdubya but figuring out this is not working for me :(
[11:41] <james_xxx> apokryphos, i ran sudo apt-get build-dep konq-plugins
[11:41] <nameless|f00d> and tbh so far so good, was already like.. wtf i got my system installed, and working with all hardware in less then 30 mins
[11:41] <nameless|f00d> so thats already like w00t
[11:41] <apokryphos> james_xxx: I said to run sudo apt-get install konq-plugins :P
[11:41] <captine> bewire: i have a leadtek winfast tv card.  works hundreds
[11:41] <captine> bewire: what tv tuner app u using? tvtime?
[11:41] <bewire> tvtime
[11:42] <cdubya> nameless|f00d, System >
[11:42] <Chri[s] > Arg it detects my printer but it doesnt print
[11:42] <cdubya> nameless|f00d, that nick is troublesome.....:-P
[11:42] <bewire> the picture is crystal clear but no sound. Sound in other apps though ...
[11:43] <captine> bewire: I'm unfortunately not at home, as such, cannot check settings etc.
[11:43] <cdubya> nameless|f00d, System > Administration > Users and Groups
[11:43] <bewire> ok, thanks anyway
[11:43] <captine> bewire: isn't there a settings meny?
[11:43] <duckdown> Hey all, How can I get additional info on a package than apt-cache search is giving me? (Specifically the version)
[11:43] <captine> *menu
[11:43] <Nameless`> cdubya thing is i dont have gnome or something installed
[11:43] <needlez> is there a way to make everything smaller (like icons) im used to having my resolution stupidy high, and not i cant go higher than 1024x768
[11:43] <Nameless`> i ran the 'server' setup
[11:43] <tritium> duckdown: apt-cache show
[11:43] <cdubya> Nameless`, k
[11:43] <duckdown> tritium: thanks
[11:43] <ahmad> yo apok how i know when this gtk gnutella thing is connected
[11:44] <hyphenated> needlez: _why_ can't you go higher than 1024x768? maybe that can be fixed instead :-)
[11:44] <bewire> yes, tried to make some adjustments with no luck. I have read that I might have to set some jumoers on the card. But I don't wanna go that way if don't have to ...
[11:44] <bewire> jumpers ...
[11:45] <seb_> apokryphos thanks !!
[11:45] <james_xxx> apokryphos, i did sudo apt-get install konq-plugins... and again got error which i posted to the bin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14033
[11:45] <apokryphos> james_xxx: is synaptic running?
[11:45] <Nullified> Guys, I really need help, Anyone know why ubuntu picks up my DVD RW but doesnt recognise media in it. CD/Music/DVD-R's....
[11:45] <needlez> hyphenated, well im not sure. but your right. im running a nvidia geforce fx 5700LE (im pretty sure) and i thought i installed the drivers properly. (i get the nvidia screen when i turn on my computer) so i dunno, maybe i did something wrong?
[11:45] <cdubya> Nameless`, adduser --group users username
[11:45] <ahmad> yo apokryphos how i know when this gtk gnutella thing is connected
[11:45] <james_xxx> apokryphos, sorry about that, let me try it again
[11:46] <Nameless`> cdubya but when you do that they can still get out their home dir
[11:46] <Ponijs> can I replace the gnu coreutils with bsd ones?
[11:46] <Chri[s] > Can you make backups of your dvds in ubuntu?
[11:46] <apokryphos> ahmad: haven't used it in ages, but I'm sure there's some clear indication. It's not quite as user-friendly as Limewire, but it is fully functional and configurable
[11:46] <apokryphos> james_xxx: no worries
[11:46] <apokryphos> Chri[s] : you cane make them into ISOs, yes.
[11:46] <captine> bewire: i can't understand why u would need to adjust jumpers, esp if the other sound is perfect.  u said sound works in windows.  jumpers must be set correctly then?
[11:46] <Chri[s] > apokryphos: with what program?
[11:47] <Ponijs> can I replace the gnu coreutils with bsd ones?
[11:47] <apokryphos> Chri[s] : I use k3b, but there's likely several others that do the job too.
[11:47] <ahmad> if i want limewire, do i download the RPM file?
[11:47] <apokryphos> Ponijs: heh, not without hassles
[11:47] <apokryphos> ahmad: /msg ubotu limewire
[11:47] <Ponijs> :(
[11:47] <Chri[s] > Does K3b have a nice GUI interface?
[11:47] <Ponijs> Chri[s] : yes
[11:47] <apokryphos> Chri[s] : indeed, it's the most-used burner on GNU/Linux. Quite advanced =)
[11:47] <bewire> yes, that's my bet as well
[11:47] <james_xxx> apokryphos, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14034
[11:48] <ahmad> !java
[11:48] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[11:48] <captine> apokryphos: is K3B a linux type of "CloneDVD".  i used CloneDBD when in windows, and am looking for ubuntu alternative?
[11:48] <james_xxx> more errors
[11:48] <artis> Ponijs, I had some bad luck with GNU's ftp command line utility.
[11:48] <chmmr> needlez: just search for "commander" in synaptic package manager, and select it for installation
[11:48] <cdubya> Nameless`, what is it that you don't want them to get to?
[11:48] <artis> Can you tell me why it? I had no such problems with its BSD counterpart.
[11:48] <needlez> chmmr, thank you
[11:48] <apokryphos> captine: haven't used that I'm afraid. I'd compare it more to Nero, but I'd say k3b was certainly better
[11:48] <Chri[s] > ouch
[11:48] <Chri[s] > i dont run kde
[11:48] <gteppel> I'm trying to setup my laser printer using lpadmin, what is the command that lists the URI for printers
[11:48] <Ponijs> tu esi liels liels losis
[11:48] <apokryphos> Chri[s] : so?
[11:48] <Chri[s] > Can i still install it and use it
[11:48] <Ponijs> [-----------------------------------]  shitik liels
[11:48] <bewire> I'll go and read more docs
[11:49] <Nameless`> cdubya yah. i just want them to play within their homedir and dont manage to get out of it
[11:49] <apokryphos> james_xxx: what about if you sudo apt-get install imagemagick
[11:49] <artis> Ponijs, but its true. I'm sorry, but it is just the way it is.
[11:49] <apokryphos> Ponijs: what are you doing?
[11:49] <nysosym> please have a look on http://www.xegl.de and tell me your mind! (german)
[11:49] <artis> apokryphos, we have some problems with GPL.
[11:49] <james_xxx> apokryphos, ok i'll try that
[11:49] <apokryphos> james_xxx: if it's one or two lines, it's ok to paste in here =)
[11:49] <james_xxx> lol
[11:49] <cdubya> Nameless`, what kind of access are they getting to this machine?
[11:49] <james_xxx> apokryphos,  ok ty
[11:49] <cdubya> Nameless`, meaning, how are they connecting?
[11:49] <apokryphos> artis: ok
[11:49] <artis> Ponijs, hav you read the GPL? It forrbids you saying slack about its utils!
[11:49] <Nameless`> cdubya well i want them to be able to connect with their ssh client to their home dir
[11:50] <Nameless`> cdubya and then let them work further in there whatever they want
[11:50] <apokryphos> artis: it's worth trying out; if you have problems it shouldn't be too hard to go back.
[11:50] <artis> apokryphos, no probs.
[11:50] <hyphenated> ubotu: tell needlez about resolution
[11:50] <crueldog> I need help how to make a FTP server
[11:50] <apokryphos> artis: saying slack about its utils?
[11:50] <Nameless`> i'm using pureftpd which can use the userconfig file
[11:50] <artis> crueldog, yes RMS wouldn't appriciate it.
[11:50] <Nameless`> crueldog apt-get install ftpflavour :P
[11:50] <Ponijs> apokryphos: yhbtyhl
[11:50] <crueldog> what is RMS?
[11:51] <artis> RMS, The Richard!
[11:51] <crueldog> error
[11:51] <crueldog> impossible, permission denied.
[11:51] <artis> Ponijs, you better get your act together. If you want help, just ask, OK?
[11:51] <apokryphos> crueldog: Richard Stallman. Founder of GNU and the Free Software Foundation.
[11:52] <Nameless`> crueldog sudo apt-get install ftpd
[11:52] <james_xxx> apokryphos, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14035
[11:52] <crueldog> thanks
[11:52] <apokryphos> james_xxx: I'm wondering how all that happened to your package management system 8)
[11:52] <crueldog> done
[11:53] <squidgy> Hi!  I'm trying to use the command line to play an audio file (.wav) straight to the soundcard, but ubuntu doesn't seem to have the 'play' command.  What's the best way to do this?
[11:53] <gteppel> How do I get a USB printers URI??
[11:53] <james_xxx> apokryphos, as you would likely guess already, i have no idea
[11:53] <crueldog> what do i do next?
[11:53] <apokryphos> squidgy: alsaplay
[11:53] <ahmad> !sudo
[11:53] <ubotu> from memory, sudo is a command that will let users run commands as root. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[11:53] <apokryphos> james_xxx: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:53] <Nameless`> !adduser
[11:53] <ubotu> Nameless`: Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[11:53] <james_xxx> apokryphos, i'll give it a try LOL
[11:53] <squidgy> apokryphos: thanks!
[11:53] <crueldog> Nameless' : Done, what do I do next?
[11:54] <Nameless`> :(
[11:54] <Nameless`> crueldog what ftpd you installed?
[11:54] <crueldog> the one u told me to
[11:54] <crueldog> sudo apt-get install ftpd
[11:54] <cdubya> Nameless`, most of the solutions I'm seeing to your issue involve chroot or rbash......might google for "restricting linux user access to $HOME"
[11:54] <crueldog> i did that
[11:54] <Nameless`> cdubya hmm can try that. sofar i tryed things like 'howto adduser' and that kinda things
[11:55] <Nameless`> rather awful
[11:55] <Nameless`> :/
[11:55] <Nameless`> crueldog well depending on what ftp server you installed you gotto edit the config file to whatever you feel like
[11:55] <Nameless`> sofar i used proftpd myself and now trying pure-ftpd
[11:55] <Nameless`> but pure-ftpd is a pain in the ass sofar
[11:55] <uwe_> hi
[11:56] <crueldog> i simply cope%pasted the command...
[11:56] <crueldog> copy&pasted**
[11:56] <Nameless`> arf /me slaps crueldog
[11:56] <crueldog> hey!
[11:56] <crueldog> I'm new to linux
[11:56] <Nameless`> cdubya hmm getting now better responses indeed in what kinda problem i got
[11:56] <Nameless`> tnx :D
[11:56] <squidgy> apokryphos: alsaplayer worked (couldn't find alsaplay with apt-file search), but it brings up a GUI.  Is there something more low-level, suitable for scripting with python for example, without a GUI?
[11:56] <Jowi> squidgy: the package "sox" has got the "play" command as well
[11:56] <Nameless`> crueldog check what kinda ftpd you installed :P it should showup somewhere in your screen
[11:57] <cdubya> Nameless`, np
[11:57] <apokryphos> squidgy: heh, braino, yeah. And it's actually aplay
[11:57] <apokryphos> I'm quite tired :P
[11:57] <Jowi> squidgy: "play" in the "sox" package is used from the console
[11:57] <ahmad> ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET VETRILO 2.3.1 FOR LINUX!?
[11:57] <apokryphos> ahmad: please drop the caps
[11:57] <squidgy> Jowi:  just installed sox and its play works as desired.  Thanks!
[11:57] <crueldog>  I cant find
[11:58] <Jowi> np squidgy
[11:58] <crueldog> Its FTPD
[11:58] <NickGarvey> !tell ahmad about caps
[11:58] <crueldog> why !tell?
[11:58] <crueldog> ah, for bot
[11:59] <Nameless`> crueldog digout next the config file
[11:59] <crueldog> huh?
[11:59] <Nameless`> and start editing it to what you feel like :P
[11:59] <crueldog> I'M NEW TO LINUX
[11:59] <Nameless`> so am i :D
[11:59] <crueldog> ...

[11:59] <Nameless`> ev0l :D
[11:59] <tritium> crueldog: that's fine.  If you can, please don't use all caps.  Thanks!
[11:59] <crueldog> ...
[11:59] <ahmad> I started linux today
[11:59] <ahmad> and i cant really find what i need
