[10:57] <aimless> you won't
[10:57] <slashx1896> ok
[10:58] <dpupp> someone was asking about japanese in irc?

[10:58] <boa-chan> or w/e it was
[10:58] <samu2> there are a lot of packages called openoffice something
[10:58] <slashx1896> now what?
[10:58] <Madpilot> samu2: you can remove all the basic OOo1 packages; if in doubt leave them
[10:58] <HowardDrake> what did you get?
[10:59] <samu2> boa-chan, i dont remember what i installed, i just googled for it.
[10:59] <dpupp> bep, yo hablo espan~ol.
[10:59] <Madpilot> !es
[10:59] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[10:59] <slashx1896> nothing happend just gave me another prompt
[10:59] <boa-chan> i installed and ran the daemon
[10:59] <boa-chan> but like
[10:59] <boa-chan> does it have a gui
[10:59] <dpupp> there we go :)
[10:59] <boa-chan> or something
[10:59] <HowardDrake> it already did it
[10:59] <slashx1896> ok
[11:00] <samu2> boa-chan, well there's this language bar thing that you should be able to display by right-clicking where you are inputting text and changing the input method
[11:00] <boa-chan> on irc ?
[11:00] <HowardDrake> so now you go 'sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces'
[11:00] <bep> hola, como cambio de servidor
[11:00] <samu2> boa-chan, for example
[11:00] <dpupp> bep, /join #ubuntu-es
[11:00] <slashx1896> ok
[11:00] <dpupp> eso te cambiara de cannal.
[11:00] <bep> ok. muchas gracias
[11:01] <bep> ya logr abrirlo.   Es la primera vez que entro a un canal IRC
[11:01] <HowardDrake> now add these 2 lines to the bottom
[11:01] <HowardDrake> 'iface wlan0 inet dhcp'
[11:01] <boa-chan> samu2,
[11:01] <boa-chan> where does the gui show up
[11:01] <HowardDrake> 'auto wlan0'
[11:01] <slashx1896> under auto eth0?
[11:01] <HowardDrake> yeah
[11:02] <HowardDrake> and leave a blank line
[11:02] <HowardDrake> I like the cleanliness of it
[11:02] <slashx1896> so do i
[11:02] <HowardDrake> :)
[11:02] <bep> no hay problema si me quedo curioseando
[11:02] <samu2> boa-chan, somewhere on the screen. im not really an expert on using it, i can barely get it to work myself.
[11:02] <HowardDrake> Then Ctrl-X
[11:02] <boa-chan> mine doesnt even show up at all
[11:03] <HowardDrake> and say yes to saving it
[11:03] <boa-chan> are you using gnome ?
[11:03] <samu2> yeah
[11:03] <boa-chan> do you have a run on your gnome
[11:03] <dpupp> bep, no hay problemas, pero en este canal se habla mas el ingles. en el cannal #ubuntu-es se habla espan~ol.  por mi, eres bienvenido. pero no se de los otros.
[11:03] <samu2> maybe you need to relogin or something
[11:03] <slashx1896> ctrl x didnt do anytthing
[11:03] <bep> Ok.    De donde eres?
[11:03] <boa-chan> samu
[11:04] <thebigearl> Hi @ all ! has anyone a idea howto install Ubuntu onto a USB-Stick ?
[11:04] <boa-chan> is there a run function on ur gnome
[11:04] <HowardDrake> sorryt
[11:04] <samu2> a run function?
[11:04] <boa-chan> yeh
[11:04] <HowardDrake> got pico confused with gedit
[11:04] <boa-chan> like run an ap
[11:04] <slashx1896> o ok
[11:04] <HowardDrake> do Ctrl-S to save
[11:04] <slashx1896> what do i do then?
[11:04] <HowardDrake> and Ctrl-Q
[11:04] <slashx1896> k
[11:04] <HowardDrake> to quit
[11:04] <Shastao> is there a way how I can pass say an SSH session running in an X shell (mrxvt to be specific) to a terminal?  I need to restart X but I don't want to lose my ssh connection.
[11:05] <slashx1896> ok
[11:05] <slashx1896> now wat
[11:05] <samu2> boa-chan, umm yeah. you can run apps.
[11:05] <boa-chan> no i mean
[11:05] <boa-chan> a run fuction
[11:05] <HowardDrake> now all you need to do is 'sudo ifup wlan0'
[11:05] <boa-chan> where you type something in
[11:05] <boa-chan> and hit enter
[11:05] <boa-chan> and it runs it
[11:06] <slashx1896> ok
[11:06] <HowardDrake> and you should be up
[11:06] <samu2> boa-chan,  you can do that in a terminal
[11:06] <boa-chan> yeh i know
[11:06] <slashx1896> should i try going to google now?
[11:06] <aimless> My router randomly refuses my connection attempts until I reboot. I use ndiswrapper, any ideas on getting around this problem?
[11:06] <HowardDrake> yeah
[11:06] <dpupp> bep, en este cannal se hace ayuda technica. para reducir "ruido" se habla en el cannal #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:06] <boa-chan> i cant get scim to even show up

[11:07] <slashx1896> yes,yes u are
[11:07] <HowardDrake> now all I need is a job :-D
[11:07] <slashx1896> :D
[11:07] <aimless> anyone?
[11:07] <bep> ouuuppsss
[11:07] <Sonderblade> is there an ubuntu package for bash-completion?
[11:07] <HowardDrake> I'm pondering aimless
[11:08] <HowardDrake> hey slash, what city are you located in?
[11:08] <slashx1896> walled lake michigan
[11:08] <aimless> uhh ok
[11:08] <slashx1896> you?
[11:08] <Madpilot> Sonderblade: do you mean bash tab-completion?
[11:08] <HowardDrake> Philly
[11:08] <slashx1896> kool
[11:08] <boa-chan> samu2,
[11:08] <HowardDrake> yeah
[11:08] <boa-chan> what does this thing look like
[11:08] <HowardDrake> I have a guru friend in Detroit
[11:09] <HowardDrake> and it looks like you're logging in on your new machine
[11:09] <slashx1896_> :D
[11:09] <Sonderblade> Madpilot: yes, extended bash tab-completion
[11:09] <slashx1896_> <--- me on desktop (ubuntu)
[11:09] <boa-chan> Launching a SCIM process with x11...
[11:09] <boa-chan> GTK Panel of SCIM 1.0.2
[11:09] <boa-chan> Starting as daemon ...
[11:09] <boa-chan> i just cant see it
[11:09] <boa-chan> lol
[11:10] <slashx1896> <-- me on laptop (windows xp)
[11:10] <HowardDrake> cool
[11:10] <Madpilot> Sonderblade: I've never had it not work (yet)
[11:10] <aimless> ahh, i want a laptop :(
[11:10] <Sonderblade> Madpilot: there's a bash-completion rpm but I haven't found any deb
[11:10] <HowardDrake> now you can update your linux box
[11:10] <pawan> aimless: if you can't ping, reload the network bits with a script - is a workaround. How frequently does it happen?
[11:10] <HowardDrake> actually I do have a Linux laptop
[11:10] <HowardDrake> but its ancient
[11:10] <slashx1896> drake do u have msn or aim?
[11:10] <HowardDrake> gaim
[11:10] <Lassegs> Is this the right place to get some help for my Ubuntu Laptop?
[11:10] <HowardDrake> so AIM and yahoo
[11:10] <aimless> pawan once a day at least. i can ping, but when i try to connect in firefox, it says 'connection refused by <IP_ADDRESS>'
[11:11] <HowardDrake> linksys router?
[11:11] <Madpilot> Sonderblade: you'll have to ask someone who uses bash a lot more - sorry
[11:11] <aimless> HowardDrake: yes, wrt54g
[11:12] <slashx1896> wats ur screen name drake
[11:12] <HowardDrake> :-d
[11:12] <pawan> aimless: you reboot the router or your machine?
[11:12] <HowardDrake> yahoo or aim?
[11:12] <aimless> pawan: my machine
[11:12] <slashx1896> aim
[11:12] <HowardDrake> I was thinking of a router firmware update
[11:12] <HowardDrake> howardtdrake
[11:12] <aimless> that might work
[11:12] <HowardDrake> check your routers firmware
[11:12] <aimless> how
[11:12] <HowardDrake> or you could go truly linux
[11:13] <HowardDrake> and try using OpenWRT or HyperWRT
[11:13] <soundray> ACPI question: My /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty. Does this mean my board isn't supported?
[11:13] <HowardDrake> basically linux for the router :-d
[11:13] <aimless> i'm afraid I'd mess it up and be without a router
[11:13] <pawan> aimless : have you tried reloading the network bits without rebooting the machine?
[11:13] <Lassegs> Ok, anyone wanna spare 15 minutes to help me fix my minijack outlet on my ubuntu laptop, please msg
[11:13] <aimless> pawan: i don't know how
[11:13] <pc22> how do u network linux to linux?
[11:14] <aftertaf> pc22:  tcp/ip
[11:14] <soundray> pc22: Ethernet
[11:14] <slashx1896> ok i gotta get off this laptop
[11:14] <pawan> aimless: how did you get the network bits going? You can probabably kill it off with an ifconfig eth0 down, but probably best to reverse the order in which you built the stuff up. Then reload again.
[11:15] <HowardDrake> aimless what about a ifdown eth0
[11:15] <pawan> aimless: and then see if it works. If it does, well, then you can script it.
[11:15] <aimless> pawan: i just have it on auto at boot
[11:15] <HowardDrake> followed with a ipup?
[11:15] <HowardDrake> ifup
[11:15] <aimless> huh
[11:16] <aimless> i've never had to do any commands or anything, i just put 'auto wlan0' and 'iface wlan0 inet dhcp' in my /etc/network/interfaces' file
[11:16] <sherz> hi I have trouble with konqi and media files look here
[11:16] <sherz> http://sherz.pastebin.com/440743
[11:16] <pawan> aimless : does ndiswrapper work at boot by itself?
[11:16] <pawan> aimless : ah. ok
[11:16] <pc22> soundray, i meant how do i see other pc's folders
[11:17] <sherz> I have also trouble to play medias in ff 1,5
[11:17] <aimless> pawan: yes, ndiswrapper works by itself at boot
[11:17] <j-a-p> Am I being heard?
[11:17] <aimless> yes j-a-p
[11:17] <pc22> i have a network now of ubuntu pcs but iwant to see their files too
[11:17] <j-a-p> aimless: thank you.
[11:17] <pawan> aimless : so I would figure out how to restart your networking stuff. Probably /etc/init.d/networking restart    - see if that does it
[11:18] <pawan> aimless : if it does, then it's a glitch in the ndis or windows driver
[11:18] <aimless> pawan, should i sudo?
[11:18] <_moss> how do i get latest KDE
[11:18] <_moss> errr sorry
[11:19] <_moss> wrong room
[11:19] <soundray> pc22 be with you in a sec
[11:19] <pawan> aimless : you can even test it out now. (yes, you need root to: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[11:19] <scofield> hello
[11:19] <pc22> soundray, thanks
[11:20] <ubuntu_noob> hi hi.
[11:20] <pawan> if you are still connected, and the command gave no funny error type output, then the thing restarted without a problem.
[11:20] <pawan> aimless : in which case you can try it when the connection dies.
[11:21] <holycow> anyone here use quanta plus?
[11:21] <samu2> How do you grab a screenshot in ubuntu?
[11:21] <holycow> is it possible to preview a php include for example?
[11:21] <pawan> aimless : and if you are feeling really inspired, you can even build a script to test for when connectivity has gone, and restart it automatically.
[11:21] <soundray> pc22, I take it you have the low-level stuff all connected. Tried pinging?
[11:22] <pc22> yeah there is a connection
[11:22] <HowardDrake> gotta run
[11:22] <soundray> pc22, in System-Administration, there is a section "Shared Folders"
[11:23] <Madpilot> holycow: running an Apache/PHP/MySQL stack is easy enough on an Ubuntu machine, if you want to watch PHP in action
[11:23] <pawan> soundray: shared folders works over samba?
[11:23] <pc22> soundray, with internet. i print using cups. but i want to see folders of the other pc
[11:23] <soundray> pc22, declare your shares in there. If you have Breezy, it'll tell you if you need any extra packages installed.
[11:23] <slashx1896_> good nite all, and thanks drake for the help
[11:23] <holycow> Madpilot, of course, i'm testing out the wysiwyg functionality of quanta
[11:23] <pc22> cool, u have time to walk me through?
[11:23] <soundray> pc22, shared folders sets up Samba as well as NFS.
[11:24] <sherz> ok I want to install the ne RC of ff it is better to remove the old before ?
[11:24] <pawan> aimless looks like he got disconnected ;-)
[11:25] <pc22> we use samba even for linux to linux?
[11:25] <stevejesus> hey guys
[11:25] <stevejesus> day 2 with the new 64bit laptop.  this is so fantastic
[11:25] <ubuntu_noob> i've got a question about getting libdvdcss installed, to be more exact, something with compiling is going wrong.  anyone know much about installing libdvdcss?
[11:25] <soundray> pc22, either that or NFS
[11:25] <kvidell> ubuntu_noob: uh.. apt-get install libdvdcss2 usually works for me.
[11:26] <kvidell> there areason you can't do that?
[11:26] <pc22> ok
[11:26] <pawan> pc22: there are other ways. nfs is the old unixy way.
[11:26] <stevejesus> ubuntu_noob, i just built it an hour ago on my new laptop, but it work ok.  what kind of errors are you getting?
[11:26] <soundray> pc22, I personally use ssh and scp for practically everything.
[11:26] <ubuntu_noob> kvidell, mm.  i think i tried that, but i'll try again.  though, i should know how to compile stuff, someday too, if i'm ever to get the hang of linux.
[11:26] <sherz> How can  I remove ff extension by hand ?
[11:27] <sherz> because I get always the message the the will removed after restart but nothing happend
[11:27] <pc22> whats the graphical way?
[11:27] <soundray> pc22, but then my machines are all pretty much standalone.
[11:27] <stevejesus> you guys should pick up cxoffice 5.0.  it works so well and so fast in 64-bit.  its worth it just for the flash and shockwave plugins for 64-bit browsers
[11:27] <ubuntu_noob> stevejesus:  the compile error i get is ...'checking for C compiler default output file name... configure:  error:  C compiler cannot create executables...
[11:27] <stevejesus> flash in cxoffice 5 is so good
[11:27] <boa-chan> samu2, do you know how to kill scim ?
[11:27] <stock> ubuntu_noob, for most software it's just, tar xzfv software.tar.gz; cd software; ./configure; make; sudo make install
[11:28] <stock> so not a lot to compiling stuff on your own
[11:28] <stevejesus> ubuntu_noob, the lazy kix   sudo apt-get install gcc*
[11:28] <stevejesus> fix*
[11:28] <stevejesus> if any of you guys need good flash in ubuntu 64, get cxoffice 5
[11:28] <ubuntu_noob> stevejesus:  hmm.  just gcc?  i thought i got all i needed a moment ago, i'll give that another shot.
[11:29] <redguy> stevejesus, ubuntu_noob: or is it sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:29] <kvidell> mm... actually, in addition to or instead of stevejesus' recomendation, ubuntu_noob, try apt-get install build-essential
[11:29] <kvidell> that'll get you everything.
[11:29] <ubuntu_noob> kvidell; redguy:  ok, i'll give that a try.
[11:30] <pc22> what do i do now?
[11:30] <stevejesus> sudo apt-get install libdvdread3
[11:30] <stevejesus>      sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[11:30] <stevejesus> that what i did, as per the wiki
[11:31] <bachstudies> After updating Ubuntu 5.10, the boot splash screen now shows kubuntu. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[11:31] <ubuntu_noob> ah.  good deal.  the build-essential looks like it got me what i needed to ./configure
[11:31] <holycow> bachstudies, remove the usplash kde artwork
[11:31] <kofj> hello
[11:32] <bachstudies> holycow, thanks very much...although I have no idea how it got there in the first place!
[11:32] <soundray> pc22, decide between NFS and Samba (supported well in Ubuntu) or look up 'network file systems ubuntu' on Google.
[11:32] <holycow> bachstudies, lol sounds weird indeed, i found out the hard way my self
[11:32] <j-a-p> Anyone know how to make a boot disk with support for Wireless, USB and DHCP?
[11:33] <stevejesus> bachstudies, i have the same thing, but on purpose.  i installed ubuntu, and then installed kubuntu-desktop via apt.  then ofcouse i told it to use kdm instead of gdm
[11:33] <stevejesus> bachstudies, you just need to re-enable gdm and you will be fine
[11:34] <xored> how to delete a save xsession ? When i login into xfce he still shows me the 2 sessions
[11:34] <soundray> j-a-p, what's wrong with Ubuntu Live?
[11:34] <bachstudies> holycow, when I try to remove the kubuntu part of usplash it also tells me i have to remove KDE desktop which I don't really want to do
[11:34] <bachstudies> stevejesus, how do you re-enable gdm?
[11:35] <stevejesus> bachstudies, just re-enable gdm
[11:35] <stevejesus> thats all
[11:35] <holycow> bachstudies, its okay, that is just a fake meta package
[11:35] <j-a-p> soundray: I need to enable a USB Wireless dongle - I'm trying to get a Diskless LTSP Thin Client going.
[11:35] <holycow> kde desktop just pulls in all the other kde packages, if you uninstall that you uninstall nothing else
[11:35] <bachstudies> holycow, great thanks
[11:35] <holycow> bachstudies, that is why that package is there, because you have kde desktop installed
[11:36] <pc22> soundray, i guess i start with samba
[11:36] <bachstudies> but i installed that ages ago...and the ubuntu boot splash was on yesterday. Suddenly today, it isn't!
[11:37] <stevejesus> bachstudies, i believe the config file is in /etc/sysconfig.desktop
[11:37] <stevejesus> bachstudies, from there it will be self-explanitory
[11:37] <ubuntu_noob> yay. dvd works

[11:43] <aimless`> wine: chdir to /home/aimless/.wine/wineserver-what : No such file or directory
[11:43] <aimless`> i could probably make the directory, but it would just give me another error.
[11:44] <redguy> aimless`: tried running winecfg?
[11:44] <soundray> viper111, I can't give you detailed help, but you need the wireless-tools package.
[11:45] <viper111> ok i'll try to search for it rite??
[11:45] <soundray> viper111, just apt-get install wireless-tools
[11:45] <stevejesus> viperIII, after you install wireless tools, there are all sorts of things that you can do with the iwconfig command
[11:45] <viper111> soundray, its installed
[11:46] <soundray> viper111, read the docs. Start with /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README.Debian
[11:46] <onkarshinde> My dad's laptop runs hoary currently. I want to test its bluetooth but I don't have any other bluetooth device. Can the testing be done with some kine of loopback or similar thing?
[11:46] <viper111> soundray, 10x man for ur help i'll read it
[11:46] <Seveas> onkarshinde, no
[11:47] <Seveas> and bluetooth is only sort-of working in breezy with the dapper gnome-bluetooth packages...
[11:47] <aimless`> err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes   unable to define devicename of 'C:', targetpath of '../drive_c'
[11:48] <soundray> If /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty, does it mean my sensors aren't supported?
[11:48] <onkarshinde> Seveas: It is HP laptop and I installed HP Custom CD of hoary on it. Anyway, I will upgrade it once I have broadband connection at my hometown. Or will have to bring laptop to my worktown
[11:48] <aeon17x> soundray: it means your sensor don't exist AT ALL =P
[11:49] <soundray> aeon17x, the BIOS shows temps, though.
[11:51] <soundray> Is there a way to supply motherboard info to the ACPI subsystem, so it'll find the sensors?
[11:52] <redguy> soundray, aeon17x: i seem to have a similar situation
[11:52] <jeri> hello
[11:52] <soundray> redguy, what's your board?
[11:53] <onkarshinde> jeri: Hi
[11:53] <jeri> javascript:runMClick('irc://irc.101-freedom.org/pluto');
[11:53] <jeri> join/efnet
[11:54] <redguy> soundray: hmm, an old MSI. gonna check
[11:54] <soundray> redguy, MSI here, too. Have you tried mbmon?
[11:55] <j-a-p> soundray: Already done that - useless.
[11:55] <jeri> help?
[11:55] <redguy> soundray: erm, not even a msi, I've got an ecs k7s5a
[11:56] <aimless`> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". <----i get that when i typed winecfg
[11:56] <soundray> redguy, I have temp readouts working on another machine with that precise board.
[11:56] <aimless`> is that bad?
[11:56] <redguy> soundray: hyrm, but my /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty as well
[11:57] <soundray> redguy, ... with mbmon
[11:57] <redguy> soundray: will check
[11:58] <soundray> j-a-p, is it a CD you want to boot from?
[11:59] <soundray> j-a-p, the best way to build a specialized boot CD is to download Knoppix and modify that according to your needs.
[11:59] <soundray> j-a-p, lots of info on the web about the subject.
[12:00] <soundray> j-a-p, DSL is a slimmed down variant of Knoppix, but it only runs 2.4
[12:01] <soundray> j-a-p, still you might get your dongle working with it.
[12:06] <ubuntu> salve
[12:06] <JBBA> I can't get ubuntu to open ANY of the admin feature from the toolbar and i'm not even getting prompted for a password , any ideas
[12:06] <Br|ce> 'lo
[12:07] <JBBA> Anyone at all....?
[12:07] <soundray> JBBA, does sudo work on the command line?
[12:08] <JBBA> i dunno let me see...the terminal you mean?
[12:08] <soundray> JBBA, yes
[12:08] <JBBA> when i type sudo it shows stuff about the usage
[12:09] <JBBA> what do i do then?
[12:10] <redguy> JBBA: try 'sudo ls' for example
[12:11] <JBBA> then it shows something that says password and it wont let my type anything
[12:11] <Br|ce> JBBA: because it doesn't show little stars doesn't mean you can't type
[12:11] <kofj> ja ,du hast Recht.   you should type your root password
[12:11] <JBBA> no it wont type at all
[12:11] <Br|ce> JBBA: just type your password then press enter
[12:12] <soundray> JBBA, it'll let you type, it just won't echo for security.
[12:12] <redguy> JBBA just enter your password and hit enter
[12:12] <krak`nix> anyone know how i can change the number of desktops
[12:12] <JBBA> okay that worked should that fix it?
[12:12] <krak`nix> without using the panel addon
[12:13] <JBBA> Okay that didn't help the thing still wont pull up it will start to then it just dissapears
[12:13] <soundray> JBBA, type gksudo xlogo and see if it opens a password dialog
[12:13] <JBBA> kay
[12:14] <JBBA> no it dosen't pull up one
[12:15] <JBBA> oh...wait
[12:15] <JBBA> nope none
[12:15] <soundray> JBBA, is gksu installed?
[12:15] <JBBA> does ubuntu 5.10 come with it?
[12:16] <soundray> JBBA, it normally does.
[12:16] <JBBA> okay. then where would i look to see if i have it....i'm relly new to linux
[12:16] <soundray> JBBA, type dpkg -l gksu
[12:16] <soundray> JBBA if the last line starts with ii, then it is installed.
[12:17] <JBBA> it said it failed to find it
[12:17] <soundray> JBBA, okay, do 'sudo apt-get install gksu'
[12:17] <JBBA> is that an l or an I
[12:18] <lypanov> I
[12:18] <onkarshinde> JBBA: l as in language
[12:18] <onkarshinde> I suppose
[12:19] <soundray> JBBA, onkarshinde, no ii as in 'install/installed' (dpkg -l output)
[12:19] <onkarshinde> JBBA: How many users have you created?
[12:19] <soundray> onkarshinde, irrelevant as long as he hasn't got gksu installed.
[12:19] <JBBA> i have two and i want to deleat the other one and stay on this one
[12:20] <JBBA> and it is installed
[12:20] <redguy> soundray: why would't he have it installed?
[12:20] <Crack> boh
[12:20] <soundray> redguy, he said it "failed to find it"
[12:20] <JBBA> it is installed i typed the wrong thing
[12:20] <onkarshinde> soundray: May be he is trying from the one is not a sudoer. I was going to say that. But it seems opposite
[12:20] <soundray> redguy, onkarshinde, I see.
[12:21] <Crack> o my gad
[12:21] <JBBA> WHO HOO IT IS INSTALLED I TYPED THE WRONG THING
[12:21] <JBBA> it is!!!!1
[12:21] <JBBA> what do i do now?
[12:21] <onkarshinde> JBBA: Is the current user you are logged in as the first user created during login process?
[12:21] <JBBA> yes
[12:22] <redguy> JBBA: what groups this user is in ?
[12:22] <JBBA> Jared Bash
[12:22] <boa-chan> samu2, you get it working ?
[12:22] <onkarshinde> JBBA: What admin task do you want to accomplish?
[12:22] <JBBA> i want to deleat the other user ...and i want to get it to pull up the admin tasks it wont even open them
[12:23] <soundray> JBBA, to answer redguy's question, type groups
[12:24] <JBBA> ...ummmm.... i got gksu xlogo to work
[12:24] <redguy> hrm, which brings another question: is there any place in which ubuntu usergroups are explained
[12:24] <JBBA> i was typing the wrong thing
[12:25] <samu2> boa-chan, no, i dont really need it to work right now. so i cant be bothered to try and solve it for myself either.
[12:25] <onkarshinde> redguy: Not sure. But this is not about groups I suppose. If the user is listed in /etc/sudoers then he can do admin task. This is my opinion.
[12:25] <JBBA> and it keeps telling me wrong password
[12:25] <boa-chan> i got something working
[12:25] <boa-chan> tell me if this come sin
[12:25] <boa-chan>
[12:25] <onkarshinde> JBBA: Which password are you typing?
[12:25] <JBBA> thw password i set for this account
[12:26] <redguy> boa-chan: I see some wierd characters...
[12:26] <boa-chan> lol
[12:26] <JBBA> its chineese
[12:26] <boa-chan> you need the right charset
[12:26] <boa-chan> its japanese actually
[12:26] <JBBA> Oh
[12:27] <onkarshinde> JBBA: Ok. Just do this once. 'less /etc/sudoers |grep username' Insert current username in place of username.
[12:27] <Astxist> I can see it!
[12:27] <boa-chan> heh
[12:27] <mjr> boa-chan,
[12:27] <Astxist> and it looks cool, but I have no idea what it says
[12:27] <boa-chan> ./charset iso-2022-jp
[12:27] <boa-chan> mjr use this form
[12:27] <mjr> umm, I think I formed that verb-form a bit incorrectly, but anyway :)
[12:27] <boa-chan>
[12:28] <boa-chan> it's the correct form for that
[12:28] <mjr> indeed
[12:28] <redguy> JBBA: type groups and see if group 'admin' is listed
[12:28] <boa-chan>
[12:28] <JBBA> all it says is jaredb
[12:28] <boa-chan>
[12:29] <kwtm1> Kombanwa, minasan.  Seems like we're going for the East Asian languages tonight.
[12:29] <redguy> so I have japanese fonts in my system?
[12:29] <Mabus06> weird, I thought I didnt have that language pack
[12:29] <Mabus06> I dont know if thats Japanese redguy
[12:29] <boa-chan> ohayou gozimasu kwtm1
[12:29] <boa-chan> gozaimasu*
[12:29] <onkarshinde> JBBA: Please do as I said regarding that /etc/sudoers file
[12:29] <JBBA> it said no file or directory
[12:29] <boa-chan> im tryping in japanese
[12:29] <boa-chan> samu2, you want the program im using?
[12:30] <boa-chan> boa-chan  <-- can anyone understand that?
[12:30] <redguy> JBBA: well, that's your problem propably.
[12:30] <Mabus06> I could have sworn I went through expert install and didn't install unneeded things like japanese....
[12:30] <onkarshinde> JBBA: Then first 'slocate sudoers' and then use that path. This is somewhat tidious, but I don't remember exact path to that file
[12:31] <kwtm1> How do I set up my deb sources so that it will recognize a directory on my hard drive as a potential source of deb pkgs?  For example, if I've downloaded a bunch of deb packages, or dpkg has automatically downloaded a bunch of packages into /var/cache/apt as part of installation, and I stick it under ~/zip/debs or something?
[12:31] <bringfried> helo friends, may I intrude?
[12:31] <redguy> JBBA: the user you created during the install is the other user, isn't it?
[12:31] <boa-chan> japanese is needed
[12:31] <boa-chan> heh
[12:31] <JBBA> no
[12:31] <mjr> boa-chan,
[12:31] <Mabus06> bringfried, never ask to ask a question. Ask it.
[12:31] <boa-chan> i think  iused some wrong kanji
[12:31] <boa-chan> i said
[12:31] <boa-chan> watashi no senmon wa nihongo desu yo.
[12:31] <kwtm1> boa-chan: I think it says "watashi ... somebout nihongo desu ... ne?  "
[12:31] <boa-chan> my kanji is weak
[12:31] <boa-chan> i never used ne
[12:31] <bringfried> I am new aut ubuntu- for that amtter at linus and have many questions
[12:31] <boa-chan> heh
[12:31] <Mabus06> boa-chan, your japanese makes as much sense to me as the screwed up characters I'd see if I didn't have japanese installed. ;-)
[12:31] <mjr> my kanji is _very_ weak. I did recognize the "watashi" tho :)
[12:31] <kwtm1> mjr said " iie, wakarimasen"?
[12:32] <boa-chan> lol
[12:32] <boa-chan> i know
[12:32] <mjr> kwtm1, yes
[12:32] <onkarshinde> boa-chan: mjr: #ubuntu-offtopic please
[12:32] <boa-chan> no, i don't understand
[12:32] <boa-chan> heh
[12:32] <mjr> though yeah, this is really -offtopic stuff
[12:32] <redguy> onkarshinde: 1. /etc/sudoers isn't system readable. 2. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo says that users in the admin group are able to use sudo
[12:32] <Mabus06> bringfried, just ask them
[12:32] <mjr> I'll stop here now
[12:32] <soundray> onkarshinde, slocate won't show /etc/sudoers
[12:32] <boa-chan> yeh
[12:32] <Glossary> how can i force my cd rom to eject from console???
[12:32] <bringfried> I need a printer driver and don't know where to find the proper one.
[12:32] <boa-chan>
[12:32] <onkarshinde> soundray: And why not?
[12:32] <soundray> onkarshinde, to a non-privileged user
[12:33] <Glossary> how can i force my cd rom to eject from console???
[12:33] <samu2> boa-chan, that works
[12:33] <boa-chan> you want the app ?
[12:33] <redguy> JBBA: what is dislayed when you enter 'groups the_oteher_user'
[12:33] <Mabus06> bringfried, try looking on the website of your printer's vendor (ie: lexmark)... that isn't really a ubuntu related question ;-)
[12:33] <soundray> onkarshinde, anyway I suspect his /etc/sudoers is okay, given that sudo ls worked.
[12:33] <onkarshinde> JBBA: Most probably the user in which you have logged in doesn't have admin privileges.  Thea oofer drivers for red har and suse bur nor foe ubuntu. Is it possible to use one of these?
[12:34] <xored> how to delete a save xsession ? When i login into xfce he still shows me the 2 sessions
[12:34] <onkarshinde> bringfried: Didn't Ubuntu auto detect it?
[12:34] <Mabus06> Yes, bringfried
[12:34] <Mabus06> Get alien to convert debian packages to ubuntu.
[12:35] <Glossary> how can i force my cd rom to eject from console???
[12:35] <Br|ce> eject /dev/hdc
[12:35] <Mabus06> Glossary, we heard your question the first time, wait until someone knows
[12:35] <boa-chan> type eject
[12:35] <onkarshinde> Mabus06: You mean convert rpm to deb using alien
[12:35] <boa-chan> on a terminal
[12:35] <Mabus06> Oh, well there you go
[12:35] <Br|ce> (provided that hdc is your driver)
[12:35] <Mabus06> errr, yeah lol
[12:35] <samu2> boa-chan, the app?
[12:35] <Glossary>  Mabus06 Br|ce  this doesnt work.. it wont eject
[12:35] <boa-chan> that im using for input
[12:35] <redguy> Glossary: eject /dev/cdrom
[12:35] <Mabus06> Glossary, I just tried it and it owrked
[12:35] <bringfried> No ubuntu did not autodetect it. This perticular printer isn't even listed in the drivers list.
[12:35] <Mabus06> How do you close it again?
[12:36] <boa-chan> Glossary, right click on cdrom icon, hit eject
[12:36] <Mabus06> bringfried, is it a dell printer?
[12:36] <Br|ce> Glossary: did "eject" throw you any error ?
[12:36] <bringfried> No, et is a Lexmark Z13
[12:36] <Mabus06> after typing "eject" what closes it again?
[12:36] <redguy> bringfried: tried looking in linuxprinting.org?
[12:36] <Mabus06> z13 should be installed on ubuntu I thought.
[12:37] <soundray> Mabus06, mounting should close the drive.
[12:37] <redguy> Mabus06: eject -t /dev/cdrom
[12:37] <martinjh99> Morning - Which package do I need to install for php in Apache 1 server??
[12:37] <bringfried> linuxprinting.org. Good idea. will try it
[12:37] <Mabus06> thanks redguy
[12:37] <Mabus06> kind of a neat, pointless trick but thanks
[12:37] <Mabus06> lol
[12:37] <ke> Uhm
[12:38] <boa-chan> anyone got a xmms xchat script
[12:38] <ke> Isn't fluxbox in apt?
[12:38] <onkarshinde> bringfried: Instead install foomatic, if it is not installed already.
[12:38] <] SW[Shadow-Away> hey i need help with installing ubantu
[12:38] <soundray> ke, yes it is in universe
[12:39] <] SW[Shadow-Away> how do i create a completely new partition without destroying anything else?
[12:39] <] SW[Shadow-Away> i want it at about 5gb
[12:39] <] SW[Shadow-Away> thats all
[12:39] <onkarshinde> bringfried: Exactly what you want to know : http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z13
[12:39] <onkarshinde> ] SW[Shadow-Away: Ubuntu installer can resize your existing partition.
[12:39] <Uzaiyaro> uha
[12:40] <Uzaiyaro> but i want to create a completely new one
[12:40] <Uzaiyaro> leaving the other one untouched
[12:40] <redguy> Uzaiyaro: you got free space?
[12:40] <kevinz> i have a question not about ubuntu. That is why do some other distribution use shell other than bash? i feel bash so good.

[12:41] <redguy> !tell Uzaiyaro about pastebin
[12:41] <mulder> enough what?
[12:41] <onkarshinde> Uzaiyaro: No. This is free space on your existing partition. We are talking about unpartitioned space
[12:41] <soundray> !tell ke about repositories
[12:41] <Uzaiyaro> [ubotu]  redguy wants you to know: pastebin is, like, totally, a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[12:41] <Uzaiyaro> well there is 8mb

[12:42] <soundray> ke, read the message from ubotu
[12:42] <ke> Thanks
[12:42] <bringfried> ok. friends.  So you can move data from one of your existing partitions to another one. And delete that partition to create unpartitioned space.

[12:42] <ke> Ok, thanks mate
[12:43] <Uzaiyaro> so
[12:43] <Uzaiyaro> sorry im a complete nob at this
[12:43] <Uzaiyaro> so what ur saying
[12:43] <Uzaiyaro> is to delete the 8mb one?
[12:43] <onkarshinde> Uzaiyaro: Read my reply ^^^
[12:45] <onkarshinde> Uzaiyaro: Consider you have 4 partitions in windows, C, D, E, F. One of them is at least 5 GB (eg. F). Move whatever data is on F to some another partition, say C. Delete F from Windows XP's Computer Manager tool
[12:45] <ke> !universe
[12:45] <ubotu> from memory, repositories is How to add repositories:  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto See !sources for example sources.list
[12:45] <Uzaiyaro> k
[12:45] <onkarshinde> Uzaiyaro: You have 5 GB of unpartitioned space. When you start installing Ubuntu, you can use this unpartitioned space to install Ubuntu.
[12:46] <Uzaiyaro> i have 2 partitions, one i dont know what it is its 8mb and the other, its 55.9gb
[12:46] <Uzaiyaro> that must be the cache
[12:46] <stan_> can anyone help me with permissioons please?
[12:46] <jhaa> Uzaiyaro buy a new hd?
[12:46] <stan_> I think I've just destroyed all my music
[12:47] <Br|ce> too bad
[12:47] <Uzaiyaro> jhaa: no
[12:47] <jhaa> you should be able to get used 20GB hd for less than 20
[12:47] <Uzaiyaro> i just wanna create a seperate partition, i dont know how to do it in ubuntu setup
[12:47] <redguy> Uzaiyaro: you have to rezise your partition then
[12:47] <jhaa> ok :)
[12:47] <onkarshinde> Uzaiyaro: That is what I was saying. You have just one partition. SO you will have to resize it. Ubuntu installer can do this for you. If you are not comfortable then use some tool like Partition Magic, although I would not recommend Partition Magic
[12:47] <Uzaiyaro> ok
[12:48] <redguy> Uzaiyaro: where do you want to create a new partition? your windows partition takes up your entire drive!
[12:48] <Uzaiyaro> not entirely
[12:48] <onkarshinde> redguy: resize.
[12:48] <Uzaiyaro> i have 15gb free space
[12:48] <redguy> onkarshinde: darn, missed that :-)
[12:49] <Uzaiyaro> so after i resize then what do i do for a new partition?
[12:49] <onkarshinde> Uzaiyaro: Right. But that space is free in already partitoned drive. You will have to create partition out of that. For that you need resizing.
[12:49] <redguy> Uzaiyaro: you have 15GB free space *on* your windows partition
[12:49] <stan_> here'smy media drive ended up as root so I typed:
[12:49] <stan_> stan@mitx:~$ sudo chmod -R 666 /media/hdb1
[12:49] <onkarshinde> Uzaiyaro: After rezise, in installer itself you can just ask it to auto partition the 15 GB space.
[12:49] <stan_> & now nothing opens
[12:50] <Uzaiyaro> ok
[12:50] <Uzaiyaro> thanks for the help
[12:50] <ke> Just to get an overview.. What should one do after installing ubuntu? Add more sources to apt etc...?
[12:51] <stan_> ke: after you have installed ubuntu you might want to try automatix
[12:51] <stan_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66563
[12:51] <stan_> it installs loads of media codecs & much needed apps :)
[12:51] <KASI> HELP , need some info , can i install ubuntu with windows xp already on my system ???
[12:52] <ke> Great, stan_, thanks :)
[12:52] <redguy> KASI: yes
[12:52] <onkarshinde> KASI: Sure you can. How much partitions do you have? Only one? Use Ubuntu's installer to resize that partition.
[12:52] <stan_> no problem - good luck :)
[12:52] <stan_> it takes a while so you might want to get some tea & biscuits ready
[12:52] <Chand|> hi
[12:52] <KASI> i have 4 , and one containing windows xp wat i am using now #
[12:53] <Chand|> anyone on dapper ?
[12:53] <ajmitch_> Chand|: yes
[12:53] <Hobbsee> Chand|: yes
[12:53] <stan_> just breezy here
[12:53] <Chand|> i got many errors with totem (xine or gstreamer backend)
[12:53] <Chand|> i didnt find any report on bugzilla
[12:54] <redguy> KASI: then it's even easier. Delete one of your partitions and install ubuntu in there
[12:54] <onkarshinde> KASI: Then your biggest problem is solved. Just free up one of the partitions and delete it.
[12:54] <onkarshinde> Chand|: Read the topic.
[12:54] <kbrooks> Question for everyone.
[12:54] <KK> how to enable dual channel sound support ??
[12:54] <Chand|> oh, sorry
[12:54] <Chand|> thx
[12:55] <kbrooks> I may be offtopic, so if I am, tell me to go next door
[12:55] <onkarshinde> kbrooks: Go on
[12:55] <KASI> u mean i should format and even delete any single partition and then ubuntu will make it again to be installed on ?
[12:55] <Chand|> ok, i'll post a new bug
[12:55] <Mabus06> I tried to install wine before but I must have gotten an error or something partway through, as thats what it says when I try to install winetools
[12:55] <onkarshinde> KASI: Yup.
[12:55] <KK> how to have multiple channel sound support ??
[12:55] <Mabus06> How do I uninstall it so I can reinstall, or conitnue with my installation?
[12:55] <KK> does ubuntu have one ??
[12:56] <Mabus06> KK, does your sound card have it?
[12:56] <KK> yeah
[12:56] <KK> works fine in windoze
[12:56] <xored> how to install mplayer codecs under kubuntu ?
[12:56] <onkarshinde> KK: I suppose you don't need to enable it. What are you trying to do exactly? Do you have multichannel speaker system?
[12:56] <Mabus06> KK, well if your sound drivers are working properly then it should work right?
[12:56] <kbrooks> Is "open  source"  / "free" software necessarily great? for example, i used non free (or is that commercial?) software to boot a LiveCD because qemu wouldnt do it properly.
[12:56] <KASI> so can i access my other partitions in ubuntu to transfer or play some media files like mp3's etc ?
[12:57] <atrophic> what's a command that will list all the directories in the current folder, but not anything else?
[12:57] <onkarshinde> KASI: First finish your job of installing Ubuntu. I am sure you will have many more questions and you will come back here.
[12:57] <Mabus06> I tried to install wine before but I must have gotten an error or something partway through, as thats what it says when I try to install winetools. How do I either undo that installation or continue with it?
[12:57] <kbrooks> Anyone?  :)
[12:57] <KK> Mabus06: i am gettin error while playin some music files when gaim is running
[12:57] <KASI> ok thanx
[12:57] <onkarshinde> atrophic: I suppose ls -d should do.
[12:57] <Robbster> Lo all. I need to compile Putty for Breezy (some custom enhancements). Where do I get the source for the ubuntu version?
[12:57] <Mabus06> oh, KK, that could be because gaim plays sounds
[12:58] <atrophic> onkarshinde, I thought so too, but it doesn't... just shows one line with a single dot on it
[12:58] <kbrooks> Robbster, apt-get source
[12:58] <onkarshinde> kbrooks: You mean qemu on windows didn't work properly, right?
[12:58] <KK> Mabus06: error that my sound card has not been configured properli
[12:58] <Robbster> kbrooks: as opposed to apt-get install ?
[12:58] <onkarshinde> atrophic: Are there any subdirectories?
[12:58] <Mabus06> KK, make sure you have the right drivers installed then.
[12:58] <atrophic> onkarshinde, yes
[12:59] <onkarshinde> Robbster: And why do you need putty?
[12:59] <KK> Mabus06: my sound card has been detected by default by ubuntu
[12:59] <KK> Mabus06: and drivers too
[12:59] <KK> Mabus06: got by default
[12:59] <Robbster> onkarshinde: custom gov't crap. They use a putty specific key and I therefore need putty to work with them. :(
[12:59] <Mabus06> KK, make sure you have the latest ones... just because it was "detected" doesn't mean you have the right one
[01:00] <KK> where to get ??
[01:00] <onkarshinde> KK: Then this is not about multi channel support. Go to meny System->Preferences->Multimedia Systems Selector and select alsa instead of OSS or ESD
[01:00] <KK> what does this do ??
[01:01] <KK> and why am i gettin that problem ??
[01:01] <onkarshinde> KK: ALSA is 'Advanced Linux Sound Architecture', a sound framework providing sharing of sound card between applications, and drivers are also quite good.
[01:02] <KK> yeah i know that...
[01:02] <atrophic> onkarshinde, ls -l */ does the trick though, thanks
[01:02] <onkarshinde> atrophic: Hey, Did you try 'ls -D'?
[01:03] <KK> onkarshinde: when im trying to test..im gettin an error that construction of pipeline for alsa has failed
[01:03] <onkarshinde> KK: Since you first launched gaim hwich uses default sound system, that is ED in most cases, it blocked sound card.
[01:03] <qt2> hullo hullo o>
[01:04] <onkarshinde> KK: One more thing. Go to terminal and type command 'killall esd'. Also disable sound server startup from Preferences->Sound menu.
[01:04] <onkarshinde> qt2: What is that?
[01:05] <atrophic> onkarshinde, that lists more than just the directories.  'ls -d */' works though
[01:05] <KK> onkarshinde : why ??
[01:05] <kbrooks> onkarshinde, no, i didnt mean on windows
[01:05] <kbrooks> i meant on ubuntu
[01:06] <KK> onkarshinde: im not gettin sounds on gaim when xmms is being played
[01:06] <onkarshinde> kbrooks: Then I don't know. I actually never used any emulator to test linux. I just stopped using Windows (and that was almost 2 years ago.
[01:07] <onkarshinde> KK: ESD blocks your sound card. There is some workaround, But I don't know about it.
[01:07] <qt2> onkarshinde: what is what? :P
[01:07] <KK> onkarshinde: how to get to know abt it ??
[01:08] <onkarshinde> KK: 'man esd' perhaps
[01:08] <KK> onkarshinde: i did what u asked me to do
[01:08] <KK> onkarshinde: killall esd and disable sound server startup...
[01:08] <KK> onkarshinde: what effect does that have ??
[01:08] <qt2> ESD is on of the few major problems left with ubuntu imho.
[01:08] <qt2> KK: there is a lot of esd info on the forums.
[01:09] <xim> i am downloading the new ubuntu, the breezy badger, what is the difference
[01:09] <KK> qt2 : where are the forums ?? url ??
[01:09] <Happuf> new gnome for example
[01:09] <oNe^somewhere> does any1 know much about streaming here ?
[01:09] <onkarshinde> KK: It stops ESD daemon. You may try restarting GAIM.

[01:13] <onkarshinde> oNe^somewhere: Sorry, can't help you. I don't know much about it.
[01:13] <qt2> nubbe: yep, alsa is the sound system, esd is the sound server.
[01:15] <nubbe> qt2, k
[01:15] <onkarshinde> Great news http://www.ubuntulinux.org/newsitems/newmedia Must read bu Ubuntu lovers
[01:16] <KK> qt2: dint find any possible answer in the forums
[01:16] <KK> qt2: the problem is that...i am not gettin sounds in gaim while xmms is playing
[01:17] <Robbster> erm, installed the src with apt-get, now where is it?
[01:17] <KK> qt2: is not this a possible problem with dual channel ?
[01:17] <reter> here are the error messages http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/5153
[01:17] <onkarshinde> KK: What is output plugin in xmms?
[01:17] <Kamping_Kaiser> onkarshinde: cool news
[01:18] <KK> onkarshinde: oss
[01:18] <Kamping_Kaiser> o_0 KK this could be confusiing ;)
[01:18] <onkarshinde> KK: Try changing to ALSA
[01:18] <onkarshinde> reter: Which Ubuntu? 5.04 or 5.10?
[01:18] <reter> 5.94
[01:19] <reter> 04
[01:19] <KK> onkarshinde: wow!! working!!
[01:19] <xim> and the only difference in ubuntu and kubuntu is one is kde and the other is gnome?
[01:19] <william> guys I tried to follow the instructions to install Firefox 1.5rc3 and it didnt work so I did a complete removal of firefox and re-installed and now it wont come up
[01:19] <onkarshinde> reter: And what are you trying to install?
[01:19] <reter> breezy
[01:19] <onkarshinde> xim: Yup.
[01:19] <onkarshinde> reter: How?
[01:19] <reter> apt-get dist install
[01:19] <reter> but i get error messages
[01:20] <reter> then i tried apt-get -f install and i get more error messages
[01:20] <onkarshinde> reter: apt-get dist-upgrade is correct way. It should solve all the problems.
[01:20] <reter> sorry that is what i meant
[01:20] <reter> apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:20] <onkarshinde> reter: Have you already changed your sources.list to reflect Breezy repositories and Breezy CD?
[01:20] <reter> yes
[01:21] <Robbster> where will the ubuntu source packages get installed to?
[01:21] <reter> i dont have the breezy cd
[01:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> Robbster: working directory IIRC
[01:21] <reter> should i get the breezy cd will that make it better?
[01:22] <onkarshinde> reter: Then you will have to download less packages. If you already have it then it is good. If not then continue as I said, since you in middle of upgrade
[01:22] <Kamping_Kaiser> reter: if you have the correct internet repos, shouldnt need a cd
[01:23] <onkarshinde> Robbster: I suppose somewhere in /usr/src. I am not sure though.
[01:23] <kvantti> hi there..i wonder if anyone knows that site for solving the no sound problem under ubuntu in enemy territory..i once heard it, but cant remember
[01:23] <pinkisntwell> why is ubuntu gui so slow?
[01:23] <reter> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/5153 as i pointed out on here i get error messages when i try dist-install
[01:23] <kvantti> piknisntwell maybe your hardware is not top notch???
[01:23] <onkarshinde> pinkisntwell: How much memory?
[01:23] <Kamping_Kaiser> kvantti: try the forums?
[01:24] <pinkisntwell> 512MB ram, nvidia fx5200
[01:24] <onkarshinde> reter: That is why, I asked you for apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:24] <Robbster> onkarshinde: nothing in /usr/src.
[01:24] <Kamping_Kaiser> pinkisntwell: i don't find it slow as a rule :O
[01:24] <pinkisntwell> compared to windows it's literally night and day
[01:24] <onkarshinde> Robbster: I already said not sure about is.
[01:24] <william> guys I tried to follow the instructions to install Firefox 1.5rc3 and it didnt work so I did a complete removal of firefox and re-installed and now it wont come up
[01:24] <Robbster> onkarshinde: It installed to the working directory
[01:24] <reter> onkarshinde, i have done it 3 times already and i get error messages
[01:25] <onkarshinde> pinkisntwell: I don't think it is slow.  Try 'df -h'
[01:26] <pinkisntwell> but the driver is installed
[01:26] <randabis> are you sure?
[01:26] <pinkisntwell> yes
[01:26] <onkarshinde> pinkisntwell: Resolution you can add in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:27] <william> Kamping_Kaiser,  on top of apt-get?
[01:27] <Kamping_Kaiser> william: yeh, apt-get --purge remove
[01:27] <pinkisntwell> i checked xorg.conf and it's got more resolutions but they wont show up in the gui config
[01:28] <pinkisntwell> plus it's already going slooow, i dont want to use it with a bigger resolution
[01:28] <onkarshinde> pinkisntwell: What is your monitor size?
[01:28] <reter> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[01:28] <reter> /dev/hda1             2.9G  2.8G     0 100% /

[01:28] <pinkisntwell> 15"
[01:29] <onkarshinde> reter: Please use pastebin when you paste more than 2 lines. Anyways. First do 'sudo apt-get clean' then 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[01:29] <onkarshinde> pinkisntwell: I don't know whether 15" monitor will support higher resolution.
[01:30] <william> Kamping_Kaiser, I even re-installed firefox gnome support.. I mean when I click on the icon it becomes busy and then goes away
[01:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> would anyone else find it desturbing if Xorg was using a config file from my home directory? not the one in /etc/X11/ ?
[01:30] <onkarshinde> william: Try launching from termianl using command 'firefox' see if you get any error.
[01:30] <reter> its telling me to run apt-get -f install
[01:31] <william> I get an Error onkarshinde, where can I paste it?
[01:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> william: make sure you don't have any running in the background
[01:31] <pinkisntwell> it does support up to 1280x960 in windows
[01:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> william: i had a person with 72 copies of openoffice on a server i admin
[01:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> because i twouldnt appear, so he clicked again
[01:31] <onkarshinde> william: some pastebin.
[01:31] <william> nope no firefox loaded
[01:31] <william> checked top
[01:32] <william> is there any other browser on Ubuntu?
[01:32] <onkarshinde> reter: then do so. And see if it tries to uninstall anything.
[01:32] <william> cause I cant get to pastebin on Firefox :P
[01:32] <onkarshinde> william: There is epiphany, and galeon (both not installed by default)
[01:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> rofl

[01:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> william: use #flood
[01:32] <onkarshinde> william: may be you can twy elinks or w3m (text browsers, if they are installed)
[01:32] <qt2> so, could someone recomend me a wifi card thats cheap, good, and complatible with ubuntu?

[01:33] <atrophic> ke, yes
[01:34] <ke> Ok
[01:34] <onkarshinde> zelevw: May be something related to ipv6. You may have to change some option in firefox using its about:config. Not sure what the option is.
[01:34] <zelevw> onkarshinde: il have a look there...gracias
[01:34] <pinkisntwell> zelevw: you need to configure dns, do you know how to do it?
[01:34] <william> Kamping_Kaiser, did ya get to see it?
[01:34] <onkarshinde> zelevw: pinkisntwell may be correct.
[01:35] <Kamping_Kaiser> william: no sorry, i was trying to help soeone in kubuntu8
[01:35] <BurgerMann> Hi :).. where would the X configuration file be?
[01:35] <zelevw> pinkisntwell...i can dig and nslookup..i checkd in network and have the right dns addresses
[01:35] <pinkisntwell> and only firefox isnt working? did you try other internet apps?
[01:35] <BurgerMann> xorg.conf I guess ?
[01:36] <onkarshinde> BurgerMann: /etx/X11/xoprg.conf
[01:36] <zelevw> xchat works...email wont connect...gaim wont either
[01:36] <aftertaf> zelevw:  search for IPv6 in about:config ans set it to true
[01:36] <spermix> hello

[01:50] <qt2> Could someone recomend me a wifi card thats cheap, good, and complatible with ubuntu?
[01:50] <drgreborn> i cant connect to the net
[01:50] <drgreborn> aftertaf: I cant connect to the net. is it possibel to do dpkg through the cd?
[01:50] <TenPlus1> qt2: pci or pcmcia ?
[01:51] <JimmyJo> i do
[01:51] <belou> why my ubuntu do not recognize the 'make' command ?
[01:51] <drgreborn> aftertaf: perhaps i show you the readme file of th cd and perhaps you can tell me how to do it?
[01:51] <_jason> belou, install build-essential package
[01:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi aftertaf
[01:52] <qt2> TenPlus1: pci/pcie
[01:52] <belou> _jason, ok
[01:52] <aftertaf> drgreborn:  if the package is installed already, you can do it that way.... look on your cd, and with synaptic, is rhe package installed?
[01:52] <aftertaf> hi Kamping_Kaiser  :)
[01:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> :)
[01:53] <tomek_> jojkl
[01:53] <TenPlus1> qt2: most Belkin or LinkSYS are pretty good
[01:54] <belou> _jason, is it in the install menu?
[01:54] <onkarshinde> belou: you will have to install it from synaptic or apt-get
[01:56] <belou> onkarshinde, soo i need root pasword but the installation has not asked me to enter it
[01:56] <qt2> TenPlus1: what about netgear?
[01:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> has anyone else come accross this problem? phpmyadmin not uninstalling? http://Kubuntu.pastebin.com/440840
[01:56] <zelevw> does anyone know the root password in ubuntu 5.10? thx
[01:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> !tell zelevw about root
[01:57] <thoreauputic> !ootsudo
[01:57] <ubotu> thoreauputic: Do they come in packets of five?
[01:57] <thoreauputic> !rootsudo
[01:57] <ubotu> well, rootsudo is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[01:57] <TenPlus1> qt2: NetGear and LinkSYS make good pci wi-fi cards that can be cheap and linux compat. the newer ones come with linux drivers and should already be supported
[01:57] <belou> ok
[01:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi thoreauputic
[01:57] <thoreauputic> hi KK :)
[01:57] <zelevw> kamping_kaiser: thank u
[01:57] <onkarshinde> belou: This is where sudo somes in picture. The first user you created has some admin privileges using sudo' Typing a command 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' should to.
[01:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> :) np
[01:57] <kbrooks> http://kbrooks.ath.cx/blog/
[01:58] <belou> onkarshinde, what a weird thing
[01:58] <kbrooks> Anyone like my latest blog entry?
[01:58] <qt2> TenPlus1: thank you very much.
[01:59] <qt2> TenPlus1: so you're saying pretty much any negear/linksys card available at say, the local best buy, should work with ubuntu?
[02:00] <onkarshinde> belou: No, It is not weird. Consider you are running as root and your system gets compromised through some open port, then it is open to one who hacks it.
[02:00] <TenPlus1> qt2: should... check the ubuntu website for hardware compatibility if your unsure
[02:00] <qt2> TenPlus1: k.
[02:01] <drgreborn> question: I can do the apt-get build essential from the cd?
[02:01] <drgreborn> *can I do ?*
[02:02] <thoreauputic> drgreborn:  sudo apt-get build-essential - and yes I think it's on the CD from memory
[02:02] <thoreauputic> oops
[02:03] <thoreauputic> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:03] <onkarshinde> drgreborn: If you are sources.list has a CD entry into it, then apt-get will know what packages to install from CD.
[02:03] <mamoru> hello. Is there a sound equalizer in ubuntu?
[02:03] <belou> onkarshinde, so i never log has root, just 'su', it is just disturbing for the first time of use
[02:04] <thoreauputic> Beleys: you get used to it quite quickly :)
[02:04] <TenPlus1> is their an easy way to install Flash and Java without using console ???
[02:04] <triablo_> how to start-up ubuntu whitout gnome, only the console ?
[02:04] <thoreauputic> belou: sorry nick complete error
[02:05] <triablo_> how to start-up ubuntu whitout gnome, only the console ?
[02:05] <triablo_> how to start-up ubuntu whitout X, only the console ?
[02:05] <thoreauputic> triablo_: stop repeating
[02:05] <sexcopter8000m> hi, i want to play the video clips on this site: http://psp.weebls-stuff.com/ but i get no sound. can anyone advise me what audio codec is needed and how to get it?
[02:06] <onkarshinde> belou: If you are too tired of doing sudo every time, then there is 'Root Terminal' in Applications->System Tools
[02:06] <belou> thoreauputic, no problem, searching for cairo.pc in ubuntu for now
[02:06] <belou> onkarshinde, cool stuff thanks
[02:07] <thoreauputic> triablo_: one way is to edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and set it to false
[02:07] <onkarshinde> sexcopter8000m: I suppose they are mp3.
[02:07] <belou> i'm searching for cairo-xcb.h does it come in one ubuntu package?
[02:08] <thoreauputic> triablo_: you can just comment out the line in that file - same effect
[02:08] <onkarshinde> belou: May be you will have to dev package for cairo
[02:08] <drgreborn> ok how do I install the pcmcia-cs into kubuntu?
[02:09] <belou> onkarshinde, i have : libcairo-dev
[02:09] <drgreborn> there doesn't seem to be any folder in my /usr/lnux/
[02:09] <sexcopter8000m> onkarshinde, but i can play mp3 no probs
[02:09] <Gerrath> What is the difference between /etc/modutils and /etc/modprobe.d ?  I have read several places were /etc/modprobe.d is where you put entries for mod-init-tools?  How do you know is something is loaded with the mod-init-tools?
[02:10] <triablo_> i installed the driver for my video card, and I want to load the fglrx module in kernel, the startx
[02:10] <thoreauputic> !ati
[02:10] <ubotu> from memory, ati is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10
[02:10] <triablo_> thats why I need the console
[02:10] <onkarshinde> sexcopter8000m: Perhaps it asks for quicktime. May be you can try installing mozplugger which allows you opening files inside FF using external applications.
[02:11] <Gerrath> I've looked at entries in both directories and they look like the same type of data.
[02:11] <thoreauputic> triablo_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[02:11] <drgreborn> oh one more thing is it possible to show the "home folder" etc on the desktop on KDE? Like in gnome?
[02:12] <pinkisntwell> amybody know why suddenly video acceleration works for me? i mean suddenly, it wasn't working yesterday, now it does
[02:12] <sexcopter8000m> onkarshinde, well i can normally play quicktime also without problems... :s
[02:12] <sexcopter8000m> is there not a programme to find codec info about a video file?
[02:12] <onkarshinde> sexcopter8000m: quicktime on linux?
[02:12] <drgreborn> onkarshinde: could i shwo you the readme for the linux driver for my pcmcia card? and maybe you could walk me through it? So sorry.
[02:12] <sexcopter8000m> onkarshinde, .mov files play fine, yes
[02:13] <onkarshinde> sexcopter8000m: 'file -i filename' should give you mime type
[02:13] <Gerrath> ahh, I think I understand it now, /etc/modutils is for Kernel 2.4 and /etc/modprobe.d is for kernel 2.6, is this correct?
[02:13] <Gerrath> Ubuntu has both kernels so it needs both directories.
[02:13] <triablo_> what do i have to edit in gdm gdm ?
[02:13] <sexcopter8000m> onkarshinde, "/home/james/Desktop/M4V10022.MP4: application/octet-stream
[02:13] <sexcopter8000m> "
[02:14] <thoreauputic> Gerrath: Ubuntu doesn't have kernel 2.4.*
[02:14] <onkarshinde> sexcopter8000m: Gerrath, Ubuntu doesn't have both kernels. It has only 2.6.
[02:14] <onkarshinde> sexcopter8000m: I suppose for mp4 you will have to install w32codecs.
[02:15] <drgreborn> is Kdevelepor inside of the cd-rom when I try to apt-get it?
[02:15] <onkarshinde> !tell sexcopter8000m about w32codecs
[02:15] <Gerrath> thoreauputic, onkarshinde I thought it had the option to install the older 2.4 kernel.
[02:15] <drgreborn> onkarshinde: are the various codecs in the cd-rom or I have to wait till the laptop pcmcia problem is resolved first?
[02:16] <Gerrath> thoreauputic, onkarshinde I think it is in the repository, correct?
[02:16] <sexcopter8000m> onkarshinde, ok i'll try that, but i followed the instructions in the restricted formats wiki when i installed breezy
[02:16] <thoreauputic> Gerrath: not as far as I know
[02:16] <onkarshinde> drgreborn: which codecs are you trying about?
[02:16] <Gerrath> thoreauputic, onkarshinde:  Well that was not my main question, was I correct in saying that /etc/modutils is for 2.4 and /etc/modprobe.d is for >=2.6
[02:17] <onkarshinde> Gerrath: I don't know.
[02:17] <triablo_> thoreauputic: what do i have to edit in gdm to start-up ubuntu whitout X ?
[02:17] <onkarshinde> Gerrath: Ubutnu never had any 2.4 kernel. Not in warty even.
[02:17] <thoreauputic> triablo_: you don't = I already told you
[02:18] <synap> Heya, guys, how do I become root in Ubuntu ?
[02:18] <triablo_> I'm confused
[02:18] <onkarshinde> !tell synap about sudo
[02:18] <Gerrath> onkarshinde, I just did a quick apt-cache search, it is in the repository.
[02:18] <thoreauputic> triablo_: one way is to edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and comment the line out with a #
[02:19] <synap> ty
[02:19] <drgreborn>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[02:19] <thoreauputic> triablo_: but to kill X, which I think is what you want, you just do  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[02:19] <triablo_> aha-thanx
[02:20] <Talisker> K
[02:20] <drgreborn> onkarshinde: the avi codecs, mp4, etc.
[02:20] <Talisker> whenever I try to make a package I get: checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
[02:20] <Talisker> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
[02:20] <onkarshinde> !tell drgreborn about w32codecs
[02:21] <onkarshinde> drgreborn: They are not in CD, neither in official repos.
[02:21] <drgreborn> onkarshinde: ok how bout the pcmcia issue?
[02:21] <Talisker> err... excuse me?
[02:21] <Talisker> C compiler won't compile
[02:22] <Talisker> it's kinda urgent to fix that
[02:22] <onkarshinde> drgreborn: Sorry, I know nothing about it.
[02:23] <onkarshinde> Talisker: Have you installed package build-essential?
[02:23] <Talisker> build essential?
[02:23] <Juhaz> in other words, no
[02:24] <onkarshinde> Talisker: Yup. Do 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'
[02:24] <drgreborn> hmm.
[02:24] <drgreborn> aftertaf: are you around?
[02:25] <aftertaf> drgreborn:  use the cd and adept, or type sudo apt-get install pcmcia*
[02:25] <drgreborn> aftertaf: I'm asking bout the pcmcia thing, sorry. ><;
[02:25] <drgreborn> oh anyone knows how to get subversion?
[02:25] <drgreborn> is it on the cd-rom? so sorry
[02:25] <Kamping_Kaiser> i doubt it's on disc
[02:26] <drgreborn> *shiku shiku*
[02:26] <drgreborn> ok then loosk like gonna have to stick with cvs
[02:27] <thoreauputic> Talisker: install the build-essential package
[02:27] <thoreauputic> Talisker: we told you what to do to fix it

[02:28] <ubotu> mamoru: Are you smoking crack?
[02:28] <mamoru> nope
[02:28] <mamoru> is there a sound equalizer in ubuntu?
[02:28] <drgreborn> hang on. the !info for svn states its in breezy?
[02:28] <drgreborn> but its not in the cd?
[02:28] <onkarshinde> mamoru: equilizer is not an essential package in an OS. It should be part of your media player
[02:28] <onkarshinde> drgreborn: May be it is on DVD
[02:28] <thoreauputic> drgreborn: in breezy it's in main
[02:29] <drgreborn> main?
[02:29] <drgreborn> oh u mean repository.
[02:29] <thoreauputic> the "main" repository
[02:29] <mamoru> onkarshinde, thx, i'll take a look once again
[02:29] <drgreborn> so i have no choice then? my eth candt be used.
[02:29] <cmug> does anyone run glquake in 5.10? i have problems running the binary
[02:29] <drgreborn> thanks thoreauputic
[02:30] <KASI> hi again , i have installed UBUNTU just now , but i cannot connect to the internet
[02:30] <mamoru> i use rhythmbox, but it gives me too much BASS
[02:30] <mamoru> however its the same too much BASS when i play mp3-files in other applications
[02:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> KASI: any more info?
[02:30] <KASI> modem is working fine , it dial , it makes those internet sounds then it disconnects itself
[02:30] <mamoru> it was OK before my brother used the computer
[02:31] <drgreborn> aftertaf: the pcmcia-cs is installed. but the readme file has a slightly diff directory structure then what I see.
[02:31] <KASI> its a US ROBOTICS 56K FAXMODEM
[02:31] <frogzoo> KASI: tail -f /var/log/messages
[02:31] <KASI> wats this ? i am a beginner for ubuntu :)
[02:32] <KASI> at the moment i am on windows xp , not on ubuntu , cuz can't connect through there
[02:32] <frogzoo> KASI: /var/log/messages is where system messages get logged - there will be a description of your ppp session
[02:32] <ubuntu_noob> hi all, i got a samba/home network related question, would this be the place to go?
[02:32] <frogzoo> ubuntu_noob: even better if you're running ubuntu ;)
[02:32] <michuk> /var/log/syslog is even more destriptive in debian based distros
[02:32] <ubuntu_noob> of course.  *grin*
[02:32] <drgreborn> !tell aftertaf
[02:32] <KASI> ok but how can i access them just now , cuz i am not using ubuntu at the moment
[02:33] <frogzoo> KASI: dunno - you've got me there for sure
[02:33] <onkarshinde> KASI: How did you start dialup? using which command?
[02:33] <frogzoo> KASI: configuring ppp dialup is pretty straightforward - click on the network icon top right - and select configure
[02:34] <ubuntu_noob> everything works on my network, per se, i'm simply trying to share a folder on my ubuntu machine.  when i hit that machine from anywhere else it gives me the usual login handshake, but no matter what combination of username, domain, password, etc, i can't seem to get access to my machine.  and, i'm pretty sure the password/login is right.  :)
[02:34] <jsz_> KASI: pppconfig
[02:34] <jsz_> sudo pppconfig
[02:34] <frogzoo> KASI: your problem REALLY sounds like authentication is failing - there's different auth schemes for ppp, & it's important to figure out the right one
[02:34] <KASI> no commands , just through the network settings i configured my dialup information and it auto detected my modem and it is working fine , but when those internet connection sounds complete it disconnects itself , can't login to my internet account
[02:35] <jsz_> KASI, make sure you specify the correct DNS
[02:35] <KASI> yeah auth problem exactly , but how to configure it ?
[02:35] <frogzoo> jsz_: no DNS required - configd by ppp, or should be
[02:35] <KASI> there r no DNS settings for my ISP , they say we r a direct connection and we dont need any DNS settings
[02:36] <onkarshinde> KASI: Use 'sudo pppconfig' instead. Then use 'pon yourisp' to start the connection. You can see log with 'plog -f' so that you now if there is any error.
[02:36] <frogzoo> KASI: double click on the network icon top right - then select "ppp0" -> configure - you should be good to go then
[02:37] <moss_> how do i install gtk2
[02:37] <KASI> ok i must write all this in a paper and logon to ubuntu and start working on thse solutions
[02:37] <moss_> ?
[02:37] <KASI> i also have another question too , i want to access my other partitions in which i have media files like mp3's etc , how can i access them ?
[02:38] <onkarshinde> moss_: What do you mean exactly?
[02:38] <onkarshinde> !tell KASI about btfs
[02:38] <moss_> checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.                                                                            0) were not met.
[02:38] <onkarshinde> !tell KASI about ntfs
[02:38] <thoreauputic> moss_: GTK 2 is installed by default - do you mean development/ compilation libraries?
[02:38] <onkarshinde> moss_: are you compiling something?
[02:39] <moss_> yes
[02:39] <KASI> THANX
[02:39] <onkarshinde> moss_: you need to install gtk2 development package
[02:39] <moss_> ok
[02:39] <moss_> whats the apt-get for that?
[02:39] <thoreauputic> moss_:  apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev (or search in synaptic)
[02:39] <jesse> HELP! I accidentally threw my desktop in the trash and then emptied the trash: Is there any way to get this very important info back??
[02:40] <moss_> oh
[02:40] <moss_> is it libgtk2-devel
[02:40] <moss_> ?
[02:40] <thoreauputic> jesse: I think you are out of luck
[02:40] <drgreborn> I cant seem to reset the time in my Kubuntu. when I try to change it, it ask for my password then dissaperas.
[02:40] <thoreauputic> moss_: ubuntu dev packages are -dev not -devel
[02:40] <onkarshinde> moss_: libgtk2.0-dev
[02:40] <drgreborn> Is this a problem with the kcontrol?
[02:40] <moss_> ok
[02:41] <jesse> no special person to call who can magically get all the info from the hard disk??
[02:41] <CosmoDad> hi, can anyone of your hear both ALSA and OSS sound streams using the OSS-Emulation? if say, would you mind sharing asound.conf/.asoundrc files?
[02:41] <moss_> thx
[02:41] <onkarshinde> Good bye everybody. Enjoy Ubuntu.
[02:41] <drgreborn> bye thanks for the help
[02:41] <KASI> bye thanks for the help
[02:42] <CosmoDad> hear both streams *at the same time* I mean...
[02:42] <thoreauputic> CosmoDad: it's kind of application-specific - if the app doesn't do alsa, it grabs /dev/dsp and nothing else can play
[02:43] <thoreauputic> CosmoDad: or if you start an OSS only app when sound is in use, it throws an error ( audacity fo instance )
[02:43] <frogzoo> jesse - double click trash & restore -e asy
[02:43] <CosmoDad> thoreauputic: shouldn't that be handled by the OSS emulation of ALSA?
[02:44] <CosmoDad> thoreauputic: I mean, what's the emulation good for if all OSS-only applications just grab the device exclusively?
[02:44] <thoreauputic> CosmoDad: I don't know enough to answer that properly
[02:44] <moss_> anyone know a good benchmarking program
[02:44] <moss_> for seeing system performance?
[02:44] <drgreborn> say when i do "gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
[02:44] <drgreborn> -O6 -c rtl8139.c -o realtek_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.0.9/include/"
[02:45] <thoreauputic> CosmoDad: all I know is that I canrun alsa output apps simultaneously, but not OSS only apps like audacity or skype
[02:45] <drgreborn> it says the rtl8139.c is not foound
[02:45] <drgreborn> but i'm in the flder already
[02:45] <moss_> Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
[02:45] <moss_>  klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_http'.
[02:45] <frogzoo> drgreborn: if you can 'cat rtl8139.c' it should work
[02:45] <CosmoDad> thoreauputic: same here, but as long as nobody can explain to me what oss emulation is actually good for I resist giving up on this issue :)
[02:46] <thoreauputic> CosmoDad: you need a guru like crimsun to explain it :) I don't understand it myself
[02:47] <CosmoDad> thoreauputic: alright thanks for trying :)
[02:47] <thoreauputic> CosmoDad: good luck :)
[02:47] <ubuntu_noob> do i need any extra samba tools to enable and configure file sharing on my ubuntu box?
[02:47] <frogzoo> !samba
[02:47] <ubotu> I heard samba is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SettingUpSamba or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[02:48] <drgreborn> frogzoo: so i add the cat in front of the rtl8139.c ?
[02:48] <frogzoo> drgreborn: no no - just try it from a shell prompt to see if you can read the file
[02:51] <Knight_Lord> The most amazing thing just happened. I just installed Ubuntu but i don't recall it to ask for the root password!
[02:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> !tell Knight_Lord about root
[02:52] <drgreborn> I have this error "-Wstrict-prototypes
[02:52] <drgreborn>    -O6 unrecognised command line option"
[02:52] <Knight_Lord> Kamping_Kaiser ok so i have sudo access by default?
[02:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> correct
[02:52] <Knight_Lord> Kamping_Kaiser sudo su - is my friend :-P
[02:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> Knight_Lord: use sudo -i
[02:52] <Knight_Lord> Kamping_Kaiser ok thanks for the help
[02:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> full root env
[02:53] <apokryphos> Has anyone got successfully got cgi scripts to be executable in /var/www? Most indications seem to imply that just uncommenting a line in apache2.conf should do it, but it doesn't seem to work
[02:53] <drgreborn> frogzoo:whats this mean?  "-Wstrict-prototypes
[02:53] <drgreborn> drgreborn    -O6 unrecognised command line option"
[02:53] <kvantti> has someone solved the problem that causes wolfenstein et to give no sound in ubuntu?
[02:54] <Kamping_Kaiser> kvantti: try the forums
[02:54] <Knight_Lord> Kamping_Kaiser i just installed Ubuntu in my laptop, and coming from Debian i'm pleasently surprised. My touchpad works without installed anything
[02:54] <pont> kvantti, kill esd ?
[02:54] <Kamping_Kaiser> Knight_Lord: it's a nice distro, but it does have it's quirks
[02:54] <Knight_Lord> Kamping_Kaiser debian or ubuntu?
[02:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> knowing how apt- works before starting helps a lot :)
[02:55] <frogzoo> drgreborn: man gcc :)
[02:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> Knight_Lord: ubuntu
[02:55] <jesse> Frogzoo when I double click trash I get 2 trash windows.. Where is Restore?
[02:55] <aeon17x> jesse: Restore doesn't exit.
[02:55] <aeon17x> *exist
[02:55] <Knight_Lord> Kamping_Kaiser such a nice Gnome theme i might even consider switching from WindowMaker to Gnome
[02:55] <frogzoo> jesse are your files in there? just drag to desktop?
[02:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> Knight_Lord: i havent changed it from default in the 10 months or so i have used it
[02:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> whatever they put in seems to be fine
[02:56] <Bob332> im installing ubuntu and its asking me to erase entire disk and use LVM, whats LVM?
[02:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> Bob332: don't bother with lvm
[02:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> Logical Volume Management
[02:57] <thoreauputic> Bob332: if you don't know, you don't want it
[02:57] <frogzoo> gxine or totem for choice? which is better?
[02:57] <ookami__> i typed "uptime" and its showing the details......... but its also showing 3 users. How do i find out what users they are? i only remember setting up 2users. My self and my gf (account which has not been used) any ideas?
[02:57] <kvantti> lk
[02:57] <kvantti> ol
[02:57] <kvantti> pon what is esd?
[02:58] <drgreborn> frogzoo: I cant find it in the man. Googling throws up nothing
[02:58] <thoreauputic> frogzoo: wrong question - totem-xine or gxine would be a better comparison
[02:58] <pont> ookami__, Perhaps your logged on once and your gf twice ?
[02:58] <frogzoo> Bob332: lvm is the logical volume manager - you shouldn't need it typically - do you have a spare partition(s)?
[02:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> ookami__: the users are logged in users. your gdm session and (probably) 2 terminals
[02:58] <pont> ookami__, who
[02:58] <frogzoo> ookami__: who
[02:58] <ookami__> ok.
[02:58] <ookami__> who shows ookami :0, pts/0 , pts/1
[02:58] <frogzoo> ookami__: these will be terminals
[02:59] <tonymahoon> hey everybody
[02:59] <pont> pts/0 is a psydo terminal
[02:59] <pont> :0 is x
[02:59] <pont> so gdm and two terminals
[02:59] <thoreauputic> s/psydo/pseudo
[02:59] <pont> :P
[02:59] <tali> PSYCHE!! Terminals :P
[03:00] <ookami__> I see. no idea what it really means though.
[03:00] <pont> me spell good !!!
[03:00] <thoreauputic> ookami__: if you close a terminal, the count will go down to 2
[03:01] <theD3viL> does ubuntu has udev or devfs?
[03:01] <thoreauputic> ookami__: each terminal counts as a user
[03:01] <thoreauputic> udev
[03:01] <markus__> HI
[03:01] <ookami__> thoreauputic, nice. didnt know that. Thanks. it makes more sense now.
[03:01] <theD3viL> thoreauputic, 4.10 too ?
[03:01] <thoreauputic> ookami__: :)
[03:02] <thoreauputic> theD3viL: not sure - I think it used udev but don't quote me ;)
[03:02] <ookami__> one more question...I launched GKrellM.... and its showing i have 15/15 mail. but i click the icon and it does nothing. (i dont remember setting up mail....)
[03:02] <theD3viL> thoreauputic, kk...tnx
[03:02] <markus__> hi, i have a FS prob?
[03:02] <jenda> what prob?
[03:02] <Bob332> frogzoo, i dont have a spare partition, what would be the advantage of LVM
[03:02] <ookami__> /var/mail/ookami (showing 1/15.
[03:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> thoreauputic:  :)
[03:02] <aris[glande] > hello people
[03:02] <ookami__> err 15/15/
[03:02] <doctormo> hello aris
[03:02] <markus__> i use ext3 for root and now it has a IMAGIC FLAG SET
[03:02] <drgreborn> frogzoo: the compilitaion gives some errors
[03:03] <aris[glande] > I am looking for an installation image of 5.04 that fits on one or two 1.44 disks. any idea ?
[03:03] <theD3viL> thoreauputic, uh..and .. can i install 4.10 and then upgrade to breezy ?
[03:03] <thoreauputic> theD3viL: yes, you can
[03:03] <markus__> and i dont know how to fix it, fsck.ext3
[03:03] <topyli> thoreauputic: you can now install breezy! ;-)
[03:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> theD3viL: yes, but not cleanly
[03:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> aris[glande] : good luck
[03:04] <frogzoo> markus__: ext3 for root is stock standard - what's this magic flag though?
[03:04] <aris[glande] > argh :/
[03:04] <GreenCult> buenos dias a todos
[03:04] <thoreauputic> topyli: oh, I've had breezy for several weeks due to variuos people's generosity in sending me discs :)
[03:04] <aris[glande] > there are some info abouts network installation with pxe
[03:04] <ookami__> Anacron job 'cron.daily' on Navi ? ...any ideas?
[03:04] <aris[glande] > but the laptop is too old and has no pxe support
[03:04] <topyli> thoreauputic: i know :)
[03:04] <frogzoo> drgreborn: then you're could be compiling the wrong version driver for your setup I'd guess
[03:04] <theD3viL> thoreauputic, what about depencies problems ?
[03:04] <thoreauputic> topyli: but now I can give some away
[03:04] <thoreauputic> theD3viL: taken care of by apt
[03:05] <markus__> while booting the system says i have to log in as root user and fix it manually. ive done this but the problem is still there
[03:05] <thoreauputic> !tell theD3viL about breezy
[03:05] <arioch_> does anyone here know anything about compiling wine and dealing with errors in the make process?
[03:05] <drgreborn> frogzoo: can I sho the errors?
[03:05] <topyli> thoreauputic: yeah, distributed mine out in a seminar
[03:05] <sss_lr> markus__, display problem?
[03:05] <thoreauputic> theD3viL: you might want to upgrade to hoary then breezy
[03:05] <Kamping_Kaiser> if you have the bandwidth
[03:05] <markus__> no
[03:05] <Kamping_Kaiser> 450M~ per update
[03:06] <redguy> can anyone tell me if http://lists.zerezo.com/video4linux/msg00674.html appliest to ubuntu 2.6.12 kernel as well? Where I could check it? (I would need the kernel source, but what if it's included in some ubuntu specific patch?)
[03:06] <sss_lr> arioch_, there is wine package for ubuntu
[03:06] <markus__> only a my ext3 has a imagic flag set at inode 10238333
[03:06] <theD3viL> thoreauputic, k .. tnx.. but..hm...where goes exemple: OOo 1.4 .. and then upgraded to 2.0 .. where goes 1.4? removed ?
[03:06] <thoreauputic> Kamping_Kaiser: yes - I haven't heard of anyone directly going from warty to breezy
[03:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> niether
[03:06] <frogzoo> markus__: fscking root is a bit tricky - easiest would be to boot from a recovery disk, eg RIP, and run fsck.ext3 /dev/hdxxx from there
[03:06] <frogzoo> your problem is that you can't fsck while the partition is mounted
[03:06] <markus__> why?
[03:07] <markus__> and what is a IMAGIC FLAG
[03:07] <nightswim> !sudo
[03:07] <ubotu> sudo is, like, totally, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[03:07] <doyley> hmm
[03:07] <frogzoo> markus__: I think it just means the file system is dirty - you didn't shutdown properly
[03:07] <doyley> anyone help me? :)
[03:07] <markus__> yes one time
[03:07] <Knight_Lord> Energy management is working =-O. I'm bewildered
[03:08] <LjL> frogzoo: what about  shutdown -F -r ?
[03:08] <thoreauputic> markus__: if you fsck while a partition is mounted, it is dangerous because it might change during the procedure, and be corrupted (in simple terms)
[03:08] <doyley> my screen is split in half :\
[03:08] <kvantti> damn, this enemy territory gives me 0 errors which people describe all the time in the et forums, and my problem is just 0 sound..there was a solve for this, and if the person which told me about it could give me the link, i would greatly appreciate
[03:08] <markus__> i try now
[03:09] <markus__> l8er
[03:09] <LjL> markus__:  shutdown -F -r
[03:09] <frogzoo> LjL: problem is, he can't boot up in the first place
[03:09] <LjL> frogzoo, markus__ : where does booting stop?
[03:10] <frogzoo> LjL: I think it was as soon as the fsck of /
[03:10] <frogzoo> ie nowhere
[03:10] <LjL> that's bad
[03:11] <arioch_> Can one patch the ubuntu wine package that is found in the repository?
[03:11] <LjL> i would use SMART too to check for any hardware failure
[03:11] <frogzoo> LjL: he brought it on himself - just powered off from the sounds of things
[03:12] <LjL> frogzoo: i "just power off" quite often, and never got something like that
[03:12] <Knight_Lord> How do i get mplayer or something like that in ubuntu?
[03:12] <LjL> frogzoo: (yeah, i know "just powering off" isn't quite recommended)
[03:12] <Knight_Lord> apt-cache search mplayer didn't prove very successful
[03:12] <frogzoo> LjL: well one of these days...
[03:12] <grenlan> automatix rocks btw
[03:13] <LjL> frogzoo: ext3 is journaled, it shouldn't get the filesystem in such a messy state even after a hard poweroff
[03:13] <grenlan> i am quite new and the lack of codecs was driving me insane lol
[03:13] <thoreauputic> Knight_Lord: you need the multiverse repository
[03:13] <thoreauputic> !info mplayer-586
[03:13] <ubotu> mplayer-586: (The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux), section multiverse/graphics, is extra. Version: 1:1.0-pre7cvs20050716-0.1ubuntu9 (breezy), Packaged size: 3670 kB, Installed size: 7928 kB
[03:13] <LjL> frogzoo: say "one of these years" anyway, 'cause i've been running Debian with ext3 on my server for about four years, and i often just turned the power off ;)
[03:14] <panzar> hi
[03:14] <panzar> mplayer can't find any fonts in the font-path.
[03:14] <panzar> where should i point the font-path, please?
[03:14] <LjL> frogzoo: anyway, i'm not really advocating hard power-offs, mind you, just saying they aren't supposed to mess your filesystem to such a bad state
[03:15] <thoreauputic> !info mplayer-fonts
[03:15] <ubotu> mplayer-fonts: (Fonts for mplayer), section multiverse/x11, is optional. Version: 3.5-2 (breezy), Packaged size: 1305 kB, Installed size: 7172 kB
[03:15] <panzar> ah, thanks thoreauputic
[03:16] <fc123> :))
[03:16] <fc123> im  in
[03:16] <fc123> yessssssssssssssssssssssss
[03:16] <CosmoDad> thoreauputic: concerning ALSA, OSS-emulation, and dmix: I figured it out. If you wanna read it yourself, go to http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin and search for the first point in the "Additional Info" section
[03:16] <thoreauputic> CosmoDad: ah thanks :)
[03:17] <CosmoDad> thoreauputic: basically, the dmix device requires ALSA-aware applications. OSS-only apps can only be made to work with dmix by using the aoss wrapper
[03:17] <thoreauputic> CosmoDad: so it's possiblr?
[03:17] <thoreauputic> aha
[03:17] <CosmoDad> thoreauputic: unfortunately, the version of skype in ubuntu has this bug that makes it segfault when loading via aoss
[03:17] <topyli> panzar: the mplayer-fonts package advertises itself as "non-mandatory", but mplayer doesn't seem to work without it. i'd call it a dependency bug but the package is totally unsupported so there's nowhere to file bugs to :)
[03:18] <thoreauputic> CosmoDad: the joys of closed source - we have to hope they fix it since we can't
[03:18] <CosmoDad> thoreauputic: yeah this sucks bad ass since skype is so popular
[03:18] <markus__> hi
[03:19] <fc123> skype wont  work on  ubuntu??
[03:19] <fc123> did i hear it  right??
[03:19] <markus__> i call with skype under ubuntu
[03:19] <tumi> why not?
[03:19] <CosmoDad> fc123: no
[03:19] <fc123> i try  t    dl  it   hour ago
[03:20] <CosmoDad> fc123: skype is an example for an application that won't work with aoss
[03:20] <fc123> i cant install   skype
[03:20] <belou> how do i use cairo-gtk-engine?
[03:21] <thoreauputic> !skype

[03:26] <Bob332> is ubuntu server basically a debian server?
[03:27] <frogzoo> Bob332: all the packages are still Ubuntu packages, not Debian...
[03:27] <Bob332> frogzoo, so are the packages the same
[03:27] <frogzoo> no, they're not
[03:28] <frogzoo> probably very similiar, but definately not 100% compatible
[03:28] <sss_lr> arioch_, able to see
[03:28] <Bob332> frogzoo, so are there fewer packages
[03:28] <Rawplayer> MI

[03:45] <erki> it says items on my NTFS drive are protected
[03:45] <mjr> erki, you can't write on an ntfs drive in Linux (without going through some pains to do so)
[03:45] <ccc_> erki: ntfs under linux is read only
[03:45] <erki> but delete?
[03:45] <Kamping_Kaise1> erki: you cant write *safely*
[03:45] <erki> :/
[03:45] <Kamping_Kaise1> erki: delete is write
[03:45] <Talisker> Are there older version of packages in the repos or do I have to get and install them myself?
[03:45] <erki> oh ok..

[03:50] <Kamping_Kaise1> o_0
[03:51] <penguinzdr> how long it takes an average compiling?
[03:51] <matej_> Will system work faster if i install kernel k7? I have AMD Athlon XP and right now have kernel-386?
[03:51] <Kamping_Kaise1> matej_: yes
[03:51] <Kamping_Kaise1> in theory
[03:51] <aris[glande] > fc123, you're wanting to save your personnal documents, or your complete setup ?
[03:51] <Kamping_Kaise1> matej_: in some cases the extra optomisations will be a godsend, for wordprocessing, probably not
[03:52] <penguinzdr> how long it takes an average compiling?
[03:52] <matej_> Kamping_Kaise1, k..ill install it
[03:52] <aris[glande] > Penguin, average compiling of what ?
[03:52] <blue-frog> Penguin, 30 sec to few hours...
[03:52] <thoreauputic> Penguin: there's no such thing as an "average" compiling
[03:52] <aris[glande] > a complete system on gentoo can take 2 days of compiling with an athlon64
[03:52] <penguinzdr> compiling of BMP/Audacious
[03:52] <aris[glande] > and the software I develop takes 30 seconds
[03:53] <aris[glande] > penguinzdr, try, and then you'll know
[03:53] <blue-frog> penguinzdr, try it u'll tell us...
[03:53] <aris[glande] > generaly it's not very slow
[03:53] <aris[glande] > openoffice takes a whole day
[03:53] <aris[glande] > but ooo is huge
[03:53] <penguinzdr> i have a 1.8 GHz processor. will it take one day?
[03:53] <penguinzdr> i mean BMPO
[03:53] <penguinzdr> without O

[03:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> Knight_Lord: synaptic/kynaptic/adept
[03:55] <aftertaf> *text
[03:55] <aris[glande] > Knight_Lord, synaptics does that
[03:55] <aftertaf> !tell Knight_Lord about apt
[03:56] <aris[glande] > i'm installing ubuntu on a cdromless laptop
[03:56] <Knight_Lord> But editing by hand is still fine right?
[03:56] <aris[glande] > by upgrading the older debian install
[03:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> Knight_Lord: sure
[03:56] <penguinzdr> yay! compiled for ten minutes!
[03:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> i do ;)
[03:56] <Knight_Lord> ok
[03:56] <wolfi> hi
[03:56] <wolfi> whats up?
[03:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> aris[glande] : you might be doing what I'm about dto do with this imac - Sarge install then dist-upgrade to Breezy ;)
[03:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi wolfi
[03:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol
[03:57] <aris[glande] > i'm going to upgrade to hoary
[03:57] <aris[glande] > because my download quota is low and I don't have a breezy i386 cd at hand
[03:57] <aris[glande] > only an amd64
[03:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> aris[glande] : afaik there is no ubuntu install floppies
[03:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> if there are some tell me about them ;)
[03:58] <aris[glande] > it sucks
[03:58] <aris[glande] > in fact
[03:58] <aris[glande] > it's possible to load a floppy that loads a kernel through pxe
[03:58] <aris[glande] > (etherboot)
[03:58] <blue-frog> aris[glande] , do you have network connection on your laptop?
[03:58] <aris[glande] > then, there is pxe installation support right into ubuntu
[03:58] <aris[glande] > blue-frog, only through pcmcia
[03:58] <blue-frog> aris[glande] , and a working linux installed?
[03:59] <aris[glande] > I have a working sarge. i'm removing unusuful packages (gnome, x, kde)
[03:59] <matej_> Can i install every program with WINE? ... program not a game...
[03:59] <aris[glande] > then i'm going to change sources
[03:59] <aris[glande] > and cross my fingers
[03:59] <Kamping_Kaiser> matej_: no
[03:59] <matej_> Kamping_Kaiser, what about
[03:59] <blue-frog> aris[glande] , then get ubuntu iso on your laptop and install from hard disk
[04:00] <Bob332> i just loaded ubuntu live, how do i start a gui, i tried startx and it gave errors saying xauth. error while loading shared libraries
[04:00] <Kamping_Kaiser> matej_: you cant install *every* program, you can install *some* programs
[04:00] <aris[glande] > blue-frog, the hard disk is too small... and i couldn't boot on the image
[04:00] <jack-> anyone here who happens to have gShield? the download link on their homepage is dead
[04:01] <blue-frog> aris[glande] , hard disk space is one thing, booting on image is just a little trick to do
[04:01] <jack-> need some simple iptables frontend/wrapper for my wannabe admins
[04:01] <shaji> Kamping_Kaiser , hi ..i still didnt get my splash screen working.I installed ubuntu-desktop and usplash aswell .But system tries to display an image and suddenly fails
[04:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> jack-: firestarter?
[04:01] <sladen> shaji: fails, /how/
[04:01] <aris[glande] > explain me, how may I boot on the cdrom image with the ubuntu kernel ? (which is embedded into the iso image itself)
[04:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> shaji: shaji can you paste your /boot/grub/menu.list into pastebin?
[04:02] <jack-> fn~Kamping_Kaiser: is firestarter a gui thing or pure scripts as well?
[04:02] <blue-frog> aris[glande] , http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/installation/sans_cd
[04:02] <centrebullet> what file do I have to edit to add modules to be loaded on boot?
[04:02] <thoreauputic> jack-: gui'
[04:02] <jack-> damn
[04:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> jack-: firestarter is a gui
[04:02] <jack-> thx anyway..got gnome-lokkit etc already
[04:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> !firestarter
[04:02] <ubotu> hmm... firestarter is Ubuntu has, like every other Linux distribution, firewalling built into the kernel. A simple frontend to this firewall is Firestarter, which can be installed via Breezy's "Add Applications" or Synaptic
[04:02] <jack-> need something thats curses based or pure scripts
[04:02] <thoreauputic> centrebullet: add them to /etc/modules
[04:02] <KASI> Could not lookup internet address for. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly . It maybe possible to correct the problem by adding to the file /etc/hosts .... wat is this, wat should i do ?
[04:03] <shaji> Kamping_Kaiser , currently  i am working from a different machine
[04:03] <jack-> for a server without x11
[04:03] <topyli> jack-: you set it up with the gui. you don't have to look at it again after that :)
[04:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> shaji: oh, ok
[04:03] <jack-> doesnt matter..no x11, no gui
[04:03] <jack-> dont want to have to install x11 just for a remote window
[04:03] <topyli> jack-: oh yeah
[04:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> KASI: have you chaged your hosts file?
[04:03] <blue-frog> aris[glande] , froom 1.2 u need to retrieve vmlinuz and initrd.gz
[04:03] <aris[glande] > i see
[04:03] <trappist> jack-: ipkungfu
[04:03] <jack-> pure script?
[04:03] <KASI> Kamping_Kaiser  NO
[04:03] <trappist> yeah
[04:03] <jack-> thx, let me check
[04:04] <aris[glande] > it would be a really good solution if I had enough space for a 650mb partition
[04:04] <blue-frog> aris[glande] , i know the site is in franch but command lines are command lines...
[04:04] <Kamping_Kaiser> shaji: check your line looks like this `kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-686 root=/dev/hdb3 ro quiet splash` with the splash bit
[04:04] <centrebullet> Ok and what file under etc holds the network card info?
[04:04] <aris[glande] > blue-frog, i speak french :)
[04:04] <Kamping_Kaiser> KASI: if you type ifconfig do you have loopback?
[04:04] <thoreauputic> centrebullet: /etc/network/interfaces
[04:05] <centrebullet> thanks
[04:05] <KASI> i don't know , i am not currently logged in to ubuntu , cuz the internet is not working on that , i am on windows now to ask for help
[04:05] <blue-frog> aris[glande] , if u don't have 650 Mb in your laptop, am not sure that u will be able to install much of ubuntu..
[04:05] <aris[glande] > blue-frog, but thanks for the hint, i'll try this solution if the debian-upgrading does not work
[04:06] <aris[glande] > blue-frog, i have 2.2gb but i have it on a single partition, i'm not able to cut it down
[04:06] <penguinzdr> wow audacious is cool
[04:06] <aris[glande] > and I don't want to have a 650mb partition left apart after the install
[04:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> KASI: it's one of 2 thinkgs, you have no loopback, or your hosts file is wrong IIRC. I'll go with the former
[04:06] <KASI> i've been trying to make the internet work on that but its still not working , can't even open a single website
[04:06] <KASI> wats the former ?
[04:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> loopback
[04:07] <KASI> how can i get loopback
[04:08] <KASI> i have freshly installed ubuntu and am a beginner
[04:08] <viller> hi!
[04:08] <Kamping_Kaiser> KASI: in ubuntu, if you type 'ifconfig' in a terminal and it says 'lo' on the first few lines your ok with that, if it's missing 'lo', then add the lines `auto lo` and `iface lo inet loopback`
[04:08] <MenZa`> KASI: Welcome to the world of Ubuntu :)
[04:08] <viller> how can i become root so that i could do root stuff in nautilus too?
[04:09] <blue-frog> KASI, http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html
[04:09] <KASI> i just can't understand why r we going towards the difficult operating systems ?
[04:09] <KASI> where is the terminal ?
[04:09] <thoreauputic> KASI: accessories (in breezy)
[04:10] <KASI> terminal is a programme right
[04:10] <thoreauputic> KASI: it's only difficult because you aren't used to it yet :)
[04:11] <Mabus06> can anyone give me a one line explanation of the difference between KDE and GNOME?
[04:11] <KASI> if i copuld only get my internet work on ubuntu , that would be a million dollar relief
[04:11] <viller> how can i become root so that i could do root stuff in nautilus too?
[04:11] <KASI> could*
[04:11] <Mabus06> I'll help you for half of that, KASI.
[04:11] <_jason> kde looks prettier
[04:11] <|mp|> anyone any ideas about this bug: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20177
[04:11] <louie> are there any known problems with dhcp in dapper?
[04:11] <blue-frog> Mabus06, look and feel...
[04:11] <Kamping_Kaiser> Mabus06: Gnome is mac, KDE is Windows
[04:11] <Kamping_Kaiser> viller: you don't generaly
[04:11] <KASI> thanx
[04:12] <Kamping_Kaiser> viller: try gksudo nautilus
[04:12] <KASI> so can u tell me wat should i do now
[04:13] <osh> How can I configure my cups printer through the cups-web-interface? The root password is unset and that's the only one that allows login, isnt' it? Where does cups look for authentication? Is it in /etc/passwd(shadow) or does it use it's own files, like webmin?
[04:13] <Mabus06> viller, if you really want to you can enable your root account and simply login as it at the login screen
[04:13] <aris[glande] > osh, they say you should not use the web interface
[04:13] <osh> I don't have any X installed on this machine which is why I'd like to be able to use the web-interface.
[04:13] <aris[glande] > only the gtk one
[04:13] <aris[glande] > ah
[04:13] <aris[glande] > osh, edit the /etc/cups/cups.conf or cupsd.conf
[04:14] <aris[glande] > and add ALLOW FROM lines everywhere
[04:14] <viller> mabus06: how do i do that?
[04:14] <aris[glande] > then, disable the "restricted users" thing only
[04:14] <Mabus06> viller, I dont know how to do that after installation, I did it during installation
[04:14] <osh> aris[glande] : If there is a "server" distribution of ubuntu one should be able to use the non-gui tools. Methinks. Thanks for the answers. I'll go do that now. =)
[04:17] <ibrasil> i tried to update my ubunto but the process was not successfully, now i tried 'apt-get -f install' becouse the perl and perl-modules is broken but half system was removed, how to fix this?

[04:19] <derek[] > dang
[04:19] <arioch_> has anyone been sucessful in running World of Warcraft in wine using the repository version of wine?
[04:20] <Kamping_Kaiser> derek[] : stuff like partition magic does it, but Windows wont

[04:20] <viller> i have /home on another partition, how do i paste something to root??
[04:20] <derek[] > cp filename /root/ ?
[04:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> viller: paste to root?
[04:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> derek[] : new partition magics do ext3 I'm sure of it
[04:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> but why anyway?
[04:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> leave space and the partitioner will fill it
[04:21] <viller> kamping_kaiser: i mean / not /root
[04:21] <derek[] > cuz I'm afraid if I may format the wrong partition while installing ubuntu
[04:22] <viller> i know partition magic does ext3, I have done it myself
[04:22] <derek[] > viller, which ver.?
[04:22] <viller> derek[] : don't know :D
[04:22] <Kamping_Kaiser> viller: sudo cp ~/file /blah

[04:24] <Kamping_Kaiser> Syx-T: get the build-essentaial package
[04:24] <viller> kamping_kaiser: -r is for recursive, i don't know english that well, is that the right option?
[04:25] <derek[] > unless there's a flash like program for linux :)
[04:25] <Syx-T> I have make and gcc
[04:25] <Kamping_Kaiser> viller: that means it will copy everthing in the directory
[04:25] <blue-frog> derek[] , so u tell me windows right now is installed on the last 2 partitions, are u sure?
[04:25] <viller> kamping_kaiser: thanks

[04:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> sdakota: wc
[04:28] <oldguy> skora: hi btw

[04:30] <derek[] > blue-frog, surprises after installing linux?
[04:30] <blue-frog> derek[] , yes, u'd better have windows using the first partition and install linux afterwards
[04:30] <aris[glande] > hmm i don't have any link
[04:31] <aris[glande] > i hacked that myself to debug my printing problems
[04:31] <Knight_Lord> When i changed from ati to fglrx driver my resolution went from 1200x800 to 1024x768. How to correct this?
[04:31] <sdakota> how to do $var1-$var2?
[04:31] <osh> aris[glande] : Too bad. Thanks anyway. I'll figure it out eventually I think.

[04:39] <oldguy> oops
[04:39] <sdakota> soundray: I've got a bash file with 5 lines - gives the error at exact that line, so...
[04:39] <Syx-T> helloi
[04:39] <Syx-T> ?
[04:39] <skora> fzwart, might be cutting it close...
[04:39] <fzwart> yeah, was afraid of that
[04:39] <soundray> sdakota, do you want to pastebin the script?
[04:39] <fzwart> but thought it doesn't hurt to ask if it's possible :)
[04:39] <skora> but if you haven't already, i'd definitely try emailing<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and explain your situation to them
[04:40] <afonit> anyone familiar with using rsync?
[04:40] <fzwart> ok, thank you for the information
[04:40] <skora> welcome :)
[04:40] <Syx-T> Kamping_Kaiser are you here?
[04:40] <skora> good luck.
[04:40] <soundray> afonit, I've used it, familiar would be an exaggeration.
[04:40] <sdakota> soundray: first line is #!/bin/bash, next two lines execute a command (`ls *.o | wc -l`), then comes the line "numleft=$[$numo-$numc] ", then it just echoes $numleft...
[04:40] <skora> Syx-T, kamping left
[04:41] <Syx-T> can someone tell me how can I compile and ron a program made in c++ ?
[04:41] <belou> Syx-T, yep
[04:41] <afonit> soundray, do you know which flag to use to get it to delte what has been delted?  ie, in main directory folder a and folder b, rsync, now you have a,b on backup, now if you delete b then do rsync, a,b is still on backup, but only folder a is on main,
[04:41] <Syx-T> belou: how?
[04:41] <soundray> sdakota, are you sure $numo and $numc are numeric?
[04:41] <soundray> afonit, --delete
[04:41] <Syx-T> I have kaht2.c
[04:41] <afonit> not sure how to sync them (the main and the backup) to always reflect the deltedtions, as well as the additions
[04:41] <sdakota> soundray: numo=`ls *.o | wc -l`
[04:42] <sdakota> soundray: think so...
[04:42] <afonit> soundray, isn't delete to deltee a specific file?
[04:42] <Bob332> does anyone run ubuntu server on production systems/
[04:42] <afonit> ok, I will experiment though
[04:42] <soundray> afonit, no. man rsync
[04:42] <belou> so do : gcc -o pouet kaht2.c
[04:42] <sdakota> soundra: wc returns a number, it's probably captured or outputted as a string - how do i make an integer out of it?
[04:42] <afonit> soundray, ok, i will continue to read, thanks for the timp
[04:42] <soundray> sdakota, numo=$(ls *.o | wc -l | tr -d " ") ?
[04:43] <sdakota> soundray: i'll try that
[04:43] <kvantti> i wonder if someone knows what to do to get punkbuster for linux enabled for enemy territory? i have used the pbsetup tool, but it says that punkbuster is not enabled for enemy territory..any hints (sorry about off-topic)
[04:43] <sdakota> soundray: still error
[04:43] <sdakota> soundray: but nevermind, it's not that important.
[04:44] <sdakota> soundray: I just wanted to see how many files still needed to be compiled in the directory.
[04:44] <soundray> sdakota, give me a minute to try over here. I'm sure it'll come in handy...
[04:44] <sdakota> soundray: ok =) thanks
[04:44] <afonit> soundray - awesome, that worked, how does it keep track of what was deleted, is that the os or the rsync keeping track?
[04:44] <centrebullet> Ok I'm using Synaptic and want to remove apm but when I mark for removal it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop as well.  Is there any way to remove packages regardless of dependencies that might be broken?
[04:45] <soundray> afonit, rsync compares the trees on both sides before syncing.
[04:46] <afonit> soundray, thanks again
[04:46] <ruzzar> Hi
[04:46] <ruzzar> Ist da jemand
[04:46] <mamoru> Hello! Is there a text editor for ubuntu, where I can switch the encodings?
[04:47] <Bob332> can someone TELL me the default root password on new install
[04:47] <mamoru> Bob332, there is no root in ubuntu on new install
[04:47] <Moco> I am using totem to play a DVD movie that I made and burned to DVD. It acts as though it is an audio CD, and doesn't show video. What's going on?
[04:47] <belou> Bob332, there is no root
[04:47] <ruzzar> Hello Whats your name
[04:47] <Bob332> mamoru, lol
[04:48] <mamoru> Bob332, you should use 'sudo'
[04:48] <linkd> Bob332: u do root operations thru sudo.
[04:48] <marty> sera
[04:48] <Bob332> linkd, ok
[04:48] <linkd> Bob332: u can enable root if u *must* (not recommended!) sudo passwd root
[04:48] <linkd> but sudo works fine :D
[04:48] <soundray> sdakota, I cannot reproduce the problem. Maybe work around it by piping the subtraction to bc
[04:48] <Bob332> linkd, so does my first user have sudo rights to do everything
[04:48] <soundray> sdakota, ie., echo $numo-$numc | bc
[04:49] <mamoru> Bob332, yes, he should
[04:49] <linkd> Bob332: thats correct
[04:49] <marty> sera
[04:49] <soundray> Can I make evince open with a particular window geometry?
[04:49] <linkd> sudo is suid'd meaning when u run sudo it runs with root privledges and executes the commands u disire
[04:49] <Bob332> linkd, do you use the server option on any servers? production?
[04:49] <marty> qualcuno saprebbe dirmi come si configurano i temi per gkrellm??
[04:49] <sdakota> soundray: Ok, I'll try
[04:49] <_jason> soundray, you may have to look into using devilspie for that
[04:49] <linkd> Bob332: server option? i dont run ubuntu on production servers anyhow
[04:50] <ruzzar> Hi martii how are you?
[04:50] <linkd> i gotta run to my lecture now anyway so... bye
[04:50] <jkelly2005> i need some help please, i need to install flash for firefox, how can i do it?
