[12:42] <magnetron> BlackDesign: you didn't ask question
[12:42] <BlackDesign> I did yesterday... I will now again ;)
[12:42] <xhaan> ivan, is it a widescreen or something?
[12:42] <ivan> yes
[12:42] <ivan> 15.4 wxga display
[12:42] <stefg> Mitchbbaker: might be that the kernel doesn't like some components in that box. there are boot options to try
[12:42] <stefg> !boot | Mitchbbaker
[12:42] <ubotu> Mitchbbaker: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[12:42] <xhaan> ivan, then youll have to adjust for a different aspect ratio
[12:42] <Mitchbbaker> ta
[12:42] <ivan> how could i do that?
[12:43] <BlackDesign> magnetron, now I did ;) haha :D
[12:43] <hypertyper> ivan: i assume the laptop came with windows installed on it?
[12:43] <Mitchbbaker> stefg: uh what do i do with the last bit?
[12:43] <xhaan> ivan, im not sure on the specs since ive never used a widescreen :p
[12:43] <hypertyper> ivan: if so, then you might see what resolution it runs at when you restore to factory defaults with their "repair" disk
[12:43] <magnetron> BlackDesign: well waiting one minute for an answer isn't enough. this aint IM
[12:43] <stefg> Mitchbbaker: ignore the stuff about startup servives for now.. just read the first link
[12:43] <Mitchbbaker> k
[12:44] <BlackDesign> hehe, I know
[12:44] <ivan> yes, it has windows installed on it.
[12:44] <Mitchbbaker> oh btw i am a linux newb
[12:44] <hypertyper> xhaan: i've been using a widescreen since i got mine... it causes less issues for me than trying  to use multiple monitors does
[12:44] <Mitchbbaker> just so we don't get confused
[12:44] <BlackDesign> but most people don't go back in there chatlist to see questions
[12:44] <BlackDesign> I think
[12:44] <ivan> ok, so i should reboot into windows, check out the resolution that it uses, then put that resolution in the modes listing?
[12:44] <xhaan> hypertyper, id like to have dual wides heh
[12:45] <skulrid> /usr/bin/install: missing destination file operand after `/usr/local/share/man/man1'
[12:45] <skulrid> why do I get this error?
[12:45] <stefg> !fixres | ivan
[12:45] <ubotu> ivan: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:45] <Mitchbbaker> stefg: which option should i use?
[12:45] <magnetron> see, you got an answer BlackDesign
[12:45] <stefg> Mitchbbaker: you'll have to experiment a bit. acpi=off would be agood start
[12:46] <Mitchbbaker> ok @.@
[12:46] <Mitchbbaker> i am installing on this machine...
[12:46] <Mitchbbaker> so i will have to restart but first i will checksum
[12:47] <Par-Due> Anyone here ever get a midi controller working in ubuntu?
[12:47] <skulrid> stefg im trying to install a program do you know why do I get this error::::  /usr/bin/install: missing destination file operand after `/usr/local/share/man/man1'
[12:47] <Nuktar> hello again
[12:47] <skulrid> make: *** [install]  Error 1
[12:47] <hypertyper> oh, yeah... i'm in here to get help, too. can anyone help me get my keyboard working? i'm having an issue with compiling the software to  make it work
[12:47] <Mitchbbaker> @.@ the md5 look complicated i will try the acpi at boot thing
[12:48] <stefg> skulrid: no idea, maybe the tips at !build help you
[12:48] <Mitchbbaker> bbiab
 what about that ubuntu install?
[12:48] <hypertyper> !build
[12:48] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:48] <Par-Due> hypertyper: When you say keyboard, do you mean like a midi controller?
[12:49] <kingrayray> hey, anybody got a helio ocean? hehe
[12:49] <skulrid> keeep asking myselfr why is it so difficult to install a program not found in synaptic....
[12:49] <kingrayray> i want to mount it as mass storage like i do in windows, shouldnt be too hard.. just need to be pointed in the right direction :)
[12:49] <hypertyper> Par-Due: nope, sorry... i'm referring to a dell computer keyboard, it has a volume knob on it that doesn't work in linux, but cheerfully adjusts volume in windows
[12:49] <stefg> skulrid: because it takes some engineering skills to build software from source :-)
[12:50] <kingrayray> ./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install
[12:50] <hypertyper> skulrid: we're in the same boat
[12:50] <skulrid> lol
[12:50] <xhaan> not to mention getting the dependencies
[12:50] <stefg> !build
[12:50] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:50] <Par-Due> hypertyper: Have you tried changing the keyboard layout?
[12:50] <skulrid> but why a different problem/error for each different program tryng to be installed...!
[12:50] <Abhi123> how to download files from internet by gving the link?
[12:50] <Abhi123> i am using ubuntu server
[12:50] <firedrops> has anyone tried to put portage runnning under ubuntu?
[12:50] <stefg> Abhi123: man wget
[12:51] <kingrayray> something tells me that running Portage on ubuntu would be a less-than-great idea..
[12:51] <stefg> firedrops: ubuntu is the african translation for 'i'm tired of compiling gentoo'
[12:51] <kingrayray> stefg: lmfao thats exactly why i switched :)
[12:51] <hypertyper> rofl @ stefg
[12:51] <firedrops> lol
[12:51] <firedrops> though the idea looks nice
[12:52] <xhaan> skulrid, depends on the compiler, the set of tools on the system it was made with, compatibility, correct dependencies, and some things mutually exclude others... thats why synaptic exists
[12:52] <magnetron> distcc ftw
[12:52] <hypertyper> to be honest, that's one of the reasons i ditched sabayon
[12:52] <firedrops> lol i am so going to mess up my perfect ubuntu installation
[12:52] <Par-Due> firedrops: partimage it now!
[12:53] <Millelire> ola
[12:53] <firedrops> Par-Due, nice idea
[12:54] <skulrid> xhaan yah.... its a shame I fail to install 3/4 programs every week cause theres nothing on synaptic.. :\
[12:54] <Paddy_EIRE> Par-Due, which app is best for that kind of backup? as I intend on getting a 500gb external drive soon
[12:54] <Millelire> #ubuntu-it
[12:54] <stefg> !motu
[12:54] <ubotu> motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[12:55] <gggggig> are there any hope to fix this stuff? http://digg.com/linux_unix/Revolutionize_Your_Desktop
[12:55] <xhaan> skulrid, you might have better luck doing that with another distro, or build linux from scratch
[12:55] <ivan> unfortunately, nothing in the fixvideo resolution howto helped me out...
[12:55] <Par-Due> Paddy_EIRE: well, to get an image of your whole setup, use partimage, but for backing up files, i really like unison
[12:55] <ivan> and ddcprobe | grep monitorrange didn't even give my my hoz and vert sync ranges....
[12:55] <ivan> =((((
[12:55] <Enselic_> skulrid: did you enable the multiverse and universe repos?
[12:55] <ivan> i really want to get rid of windows on this laptop...
[12:55] <Paddy_EIRE> Par-Due, thanks for the tips I will read into these
[12:55] <Par-Due> Paddy_EIRE: unison with it's gui (unison-gtk)
[12:56] <kingrayray> Plugging in a mass storage device (ie usb stick or similar) .. should it automount by default? and if not what steps should i take to mount it? im not sure how to mount stuff from usb :s
[12:56] <skulrid> Enselic_ yes
[12:56] <Enselic_> skulrid: interesting, what programs do you not find then?
[12:56] <jonathan_> somebody can help me to install tarballs?
[12:56] <stefg> kingrayray: should automount (unless you dared to use automatix, which often breaks this)
[12:56] <rymblock> I have a problem with my nvidia card ... wine games crashes when switch to full screem I think, somebody can give me assistance?
[12:57] <kingrayray> nah, i know the dangers of automatix
[12:57] <jonathan_> amateur in here now, plz help
[12:57] <replman> Hi!
[12:57] <kingrayray> but say it didnt automount (it doesnt seem to?) where in /dev/ do i look for it?
[12:57] <Par-Due> jonathan_: try this http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[12:57] <replman> strange thing: in feisty (kubuntu) you can go to system-settings -> display and (A) go to sysadmin mode and change resolution -> resolution is written into xorg.conf or (B) stay in user mode and change the resolution for your user. Where is this information stored? It's not in xorg.conf...
[12:57] <nomic> anyone know if there is a way to rollback recover (aka windows xt) as I have lost my network settings I think.
[12:58] <nomic> xp
[12:58] <jonathan_> I'm confused
[12:58] <skulrid> Enselic_ last one was Power Tab Tools
[12:58] <Par-Due> jonathan_: click the link i sent
[12:58] <jonathan_> somebody said to untar first
[12:58] <stefg> kingrayray: sudo fdisk -l (ususally it gets /dev/sdb on machines with a single harddrive
[12:58] <jonathan_> somebody said to extract first
[12:58] <Par-Due> jonathan_: Reach out and take the help you're asking for
[12:58] <kingrayray> stefg: cool, i'll take a look at that. thanks
[12:58] <nomic> i mean 'restore points' and restore to restore point
[12:58] <nomic> ?
[12:58] <nomic> on ubuntu?
[12:59] <nomic> ok if it ain;t
[12:59] <Fir3Ligth> hello
[12:59] <nomic> hi
[12:59] <Enselic_> jonathan_:  they are the same
[12:59] <ivan> does anybody have any ideas on this?
[12:59] <stefg> !enter | nomic
[12:59] <ubotu> nomic: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:59] <jonathan_> oh.. ok
[12:59] <jonathan_> thx
[12:59] <disposable> i've intel GMA3000 graphics card (946gz chipset) and i'm trying to get 1440x900 resolution out of it. 915resolution doesn't seem to help (supports chipsets up to 945gm), xorg.conf doesn't react to my changes. any hints?
[12:59] <Par-Due> I'm trying to setup a midi controller, anyone ever master this?
[01:00] <nomic> par=due i may be getting into that
[01:00] <xhaan> tar -xvvf foo.tar or tar -xvvzf foo.tar.gz
[01:00] <nomic> midi is cool
[01:00] <Enselic_> jonathan_: a tar file is simply a way of keeping many files in one file
[01:00] <jonathan_> what is the mean of tar-xvvf??
[01:00] <khermans> how can i add sources from apt.sources.d/* to unattended-upgrades ?
[01:00] <jonathan_> I donno what it mean
[01:00] <Enselic_> jonathan_: tar is a program
[01:00] <xhaan> jonathan_, thats the command to extract tar files
[01:00] <Par-Due> nomic: It's been a pain for me..Reason made it real simple and I guess I'm a little spoiled, but I don't use windows anymore..I figured I should get back into the music now that ubuntu got a few apps worth looking into
[01:01] <Enselic_> jonathan_: xvf are flags
[01:01] <Paddy_EIRE> jonathan_, type man tar into a terminal
[01:01] <Enselic_> jonathan_:    flags are given with -
[01:01] <stefg> disposable: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting/+bug/90213
[01:01] <Enselic_> jonathan_: so     tar   -z -x -v -f    give the tar program four flags      these flags can be put together, like this    tar -zxvf
[01:01] <Par-Due> jonathan_: you'll want to read the link i sent you if you're trying to install a program that came as a tar.gz file
[01:02] <disposable> stefg, thank you, i'll investigate
[01:02] <Enselic_> jonathan_: you usually also give a file to the tar program, like this    tar -zxvf somefile.tar.gz     which will make tar extract somefile.tar.gz
[01:02] <jonathan_> ok
[01:02] <jonathan_> I know now
[01:02] <jonathan_> tar -zxvf dreamchess.tar.gz
[01:02] <jonathan_> than?
[01:02] <jonathan_> next step?
[01:02] <Enselic_> jonathan_: for the details of what the different flags do (they are different for each program)   do man tar
[01:02] <Par-Due> jonathan_: read the guide!! it will help you, i promise!
[01:03] <jonathan_> what is gzziped mean?
[01:03] <Enselic_> jonathan_: after you have issued that command, tar will extract the files
[01:03] <xhaan> gzip is another form of archiving
[01:03] <Enselic_> jonathan_: a gzipped file is a file zipped with gzip
[01:03] <Enselic_> jonathan_: just like a .zip file on windows
[01:03] <jonathan_> oh...
[01:03] <jonathan_> yeah I know zip
[01:03] <kingrayray> sweet. ubuntu automounts my helio!
[01:04] <xhaan> some files are tar'd then gzipped... tar.gz files
[01:04] <jonathan_> ok
[01:04] <jonathan_> tar -zxvf apache.tar.gz
[01:04] <Paddy_EIRE> xhaan, whats that like double compression
[01:04] <Par-Due> Anyone ever get a midi controller working in ubuntu?
[01:04] <jonathan_> I find it
[01:04] <xhaan> but tar will unzip both tar and tar.gz
[01:04] <jonathan_> ok
[01:04] <LucianIndy> is the compiz package being updated a lot or is there something wrong with my update manager
[01:05] <Paddy_EIRE> xhaan, like zip 'ing a file then rar 'ing it
[01:05] <Enselic_> jonathan_: if you don't want to use the command line, you can just doubleclick on a gzip file and Ubuntu will open up an extracter for you
[01:05] <Par-Due> LucianIndy: you probably got the compiz fusion repo and it is updating almost daily
[01:05] <xhaan> Paddy_EIRE, its mainly for convenient archiving, taring the files just puts them into one package that is then actually compressed with gz
[01:05] <Paddy_EIRE> xhaan, or is that pointless
[01:05] <jonathan_> ok
[01:05] <jonathan_> I'm already know now
[01:05] <Paddy_EIRE> xhaan, ahh, I see
[01:05] <chowmeined> the latest wine broke a bunch of stuff
[01:05] <jonathan_> I read the guide
[01:05] <jonathan_> still installed
[01:06] <jonathan_> tar -zxvf apache.tar.gz
[01:06] <jonathan_> ./configure
[01:06] <jonathan_> cd installer.pl
[01:06] <jonathan_> make
[01:06] <jonathan_> install
[01:06] <jonathan_> ok
[01:06] <Paddy_EIRE> jonathan_, sounds good
[01:06] <chowmeined> because that makes no sense
[01:06] <jonathan_> ha3
[01:06] <jason__> Hey
[01:07] <chowmeined> jason__: hi
[01:07] <jason__> You ok?
[01:07] <chowmeined> yea
[01:07] <jonathan_> and now how can I install kubuntu on my ubuntu?
[01:07] <jonathan_> so I can pick my session
[01:07] <jason__> Just installed ubuntu on my laptop
[01:07] <jonathan_> using apt-get
[01:07] <chowmeined> jonathan_: apt install KDE
[01:07] <jason__> had it a while ago but its alot better now
[01:07] <Paddy_EIRE> jonathan_, sudo apt-get install kde
[01:07] <jonathan_> ok
[01:07] <hypertyper> or synaptic, if you prefer a gui
[01:08] <chowmeined> jason__: good to hear it
[01:08] <jason__> :-)
[01:08] <jason__> need to learn how to use it properlyt
[01:08] <Paddy_EIRE> will kde 4 be shipping with gutsy
[01:08] <jonathan_> ok
[01:08] <chowmeined> Paddy_EIRE: it depends
[01:08] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: kde4 only in gutsy+2
[01:09] <jonathan_> downloading now, take a long time to 500mb
[01:09] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: go #kubuntu for that
[01:09] <hypertyper> woot, the info at !build saved me
[01:09] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg, ok, I love gnome but the new kde sounds amazing
[01:10] <crazyfool>
[01:10] <crazyfool>
[01:10] <Nuktar>
[01:10] <zombie_> hi crazyfool
[01:10] <crazyfool> 7.10
[01:10] <Par-Due> Has anyone used Jack Audio Server and successfully get a midi controller working with it?
[01:10] <jonathan_> I wonder where did synaptic files now
[01:10] <CppIsWeird>
[01:10] <Nuktar> hi
[01:10] <chowmeined> crazyfool:
[01:10] <crazyfool>
 with kubuntu, ubuntu uses GNOME
[01:11] <jonathan_> after synaptic download the files, when did they put those installer?
[01:11] <Paddy_EIRE> Nuktar, I know this
[01:11] <replman> the answer to my question (resolution) is: ~/.kde/share/config/displayconfigrc
[01:11] <zombie_> how did you enter chinese in ubuntu???????
[01:11] <Nuktar> ... no offence, just saying. Yes, Kubuntu will have KDE4
[01:11] <zombie_> crazyfool, how did you enter chinese in ubuntu?????
[01:12] <Paddy_EIRE> Nuktar, ok
[01:12] <chowmeined> crazyfool:  #ubuntu-cn
[01:12] <crazyfool>
[01:12] <Paddy_EIRE> whats with the chinese
[01:12] <xhaan> jonathan_, you may have to read the description or even use whereis command to locate where synaptic puts things
[01:12] <chowmeined> Paddy_EIRE: i am redirecting him towards #ubuntu-cn
[01:13] <Paddy_EIRE> ahh
[01:13] <crazyfool> file:///home/crazyfool/Pictures/%E7%B3%BB%E7%BB%9F%E7%9B%91%E8%A7%86%E5%99%A8.png
[01:13] <crazyfool>
[01:13] <Nuktar> Stie cineva romna pe aici?
[01:13] <zombie_> i am using feisty 7.04 not able to input chinese
[01:13] <jonathan_> and the installer is located in where?
[01:14] <chowmeined> crazyfool: #ubuntu-cn
[01:14] <zombie_> is there a 7.10 version of ubuntu???
[01:14] <chowmeined> zombie_: its currently in testing
[01:14] <xhaan> jonathan_, usually there is no installer, most of the time when you install something with synaptic its ready to use... you just have to find where it is some times
[01:15] <chowmeined> zombie_: you can download 'tribe 2' which is the 'beta'
[01:15] <gbutler288> howdy
[01:15] <crazyfool>
, yes, but developing. Gutsy Gibbon
[01:15] <crazyfool> #ubuntu-cn
[01:15] <zombie_> nuktar ok, will find out more....
[01:16] <jonathan_> that's ok
[01:16] <xhaan> open a terminal and type whereis followed by the name of the program youre trying to find
[01:16] <Nuktar> Don't try it now, cause you'll mess up your PC
[01:16] <gbutler288> HOw do you fix a messed up xorg.conf file?  I'm not sure what is wrong with it.  It is unable to startx
[01:16] <Nuktar> sudo apt-dist upgrade
[01:16] <jonathan_> whereis synaptic
[01:16] <xhaan> youre looking for synaptic itself?

[01:18] <Paddy_EIRE> I love chinese characters and really good caligraphy just have'nt a clue what it says
[01:19] <stefg> Mitchbbaker: while you were rebooting i read some forum posts about a bios update helping
[01:19] <Nuktar> yea, we all do
[01:19] <Mitchbbaker> oho k
[01:19] <gbutler288> stefg    will this fix the issue or will it ask me for additional info?
[01:19] <Mitchbbaker> *oh ok

[01:19] <jonathan_> ada orang yg bisa bahasa ini??
[01:19] <Mitchbbaker> still thae same problem
[01:19] <Nuktar> indonesian?
[01:19] <stefg> gbutler288: you'll be taken through a configuration routine
[01:19] <Nuktar> sorry, malay?
[01:19] <jonathan_> lebih baik memakai bahasa sebenarnya
[01:19] <jonathan_> nope

[01:20] <jonathan_> bisa?
[01:20] <Mitchbbaker> hey wait i though of something i have a netinst debian that worked on VMWare would it works just normal?
[01:20] <Nuktar> no, I get stuck on wikiepedia
[01:20] <Mitchbbaker> *work
[01:20] <stefg> Mitchbbaker: debian != ubuntu
[01:20] <Nuktar> cine stie carte are patru ochi

[01:21] <CerebroJD> the time has come to beat my wireless card in my lappy into submission
[01:21] <CerebroJD> ubuntu seems to have lost it (somehow... dunno how it managed it)
[01:21] <Par-Due> It looks like linux has a lot of cool audio apps for recording music, but I can't get my midi controller rocking!
[01:21] <jonathan_> ubuntu studio hah?
[01:21] <stefg> Mitchbbaker: updating the bios never hurts. So i'd do that first, then see which problems remain
[01:22] <Mitchbbaker> ok
[01:22] <Mitchbbaker> ih i havn't done that on this machine where do i look?
[01:22] <jonathan_> I think ubuntu studio has a bug that I can't resize my resolutions
[01:22] <Mitchbbaker> i havn't done it in quite a while
[01:22] <stefg> Mitchbbaker: dell support pages
[01:22] <Mitchbbaker> ok i'll look
[01:23] <Par-Due> jonathan_: Ubuntu studio's got the apps, but i can't find any documentation for setting up midi controllers
[01:23] <Mitchbbaker> wait that will require a floppy... i don't have a floppy drive...
[01:23] <stefg> Mitchbbaker: hope you still have a floppy drive
[01:23] <Mitchbbaker> will a usb one do the trick?
[01:23] <Nuktar> How can i autologin root user?
[01:23] <jonathan_> hm..
[01:23] <Paddy_EIRE> Par-Due, ubuntu-studio is more easily accessible for getting audio editing working well, I think it has a certain amount of those things pre-configured and uses a low latency kernel
[01:23] <jonathan_> I want to access some files
[01:23] <stefg> Mitchbbaker: there's tricks, yeah... but i'd rather ask Dell about that
[01:23] <jonathan_> but they required a superuser
[01:24] <zorglu_> q. i want to do oprofile/sysprofile on the kernel on ubuntu feisty, can i do that without recompiling the kernel ? like by using existing packages ? if so wich one ?
[01:24] <jonathan_> how can I access those files? and how can I be the super user?
[01:24] <Nuktar> login as root
[01:24] <lieter> jonathaN, sudo
[01:24] <jonathan_> already
[01:24] <jonathan_> at sudo -s -H
[01:24] <stefg> !root | Nuktar
[01:24] <ubotu> Nuktar: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[01:24] <Par-Due> Paddy_EIRE: yeah, I've gotten into ubuntu-studio, but still no luck on the midi controller..I'll keep looking around for some documentation
[01:25] <jonathan_> already logged
[01:25] <jonathan_> but still can't
[01:25] <Nuktar> !root | stefg
[01:25] <ubotu> stefg: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[01:25] <jonathan_> they still required superuser
[01:25] <Nuktar> haha
[01:25] <Nuktar> reg | Nuktar
[01:26] <xhaan> jonathan_, whatever you're trying to do may not work then, some programs require root to actually exist, and it doesn't in ubuntu
[01:26] <primski> there is no root password :D
[01:26] <primski> why oh why didnt i take the blue pill :P
[01:26] <Newbie_Dude> i feel like i stepped into the Matrix movie
[01:26] <jonathan_> I tried gksudo and still can't
[01:26] <primski> he yea me 2
[01:27] <jonathan_> stupid folder
[01:27] <Nuktar> while entering as user, go to Administration- User and groups, select root, click proprieties, change the pass. Then go to login manager, set true the option " allow sys  administrator login"
[01:27] <xhaan> jonathan_, what is it youre trying to do again?
[01:27] <yo_> hello
[01:27] <Nuktar> hi
[01:27] <yo_> anybody use testdisk???
[01:28] <stefg> !anyone | yo_
[01:28] <ubotu> yo_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:28] <yo_> ok
[01:28] <ConradKunze> Can anyone explain me how to boot from the CD on a HP NetServer 5/166 LS?
[01:29] <jonathan_> Nuktar : are u malaysian?
[01:30] <yo_> i have a problem with my ext3 parition, i resized with gparted, then lost data, aparently, but the data moves to lost+found directory, and the partition converted ext2, :-o, a user chat recommended me convert to ext3 whith mkfs, then lost all all data. Now i'm running testdisk for recovery data
[01:30] <yo_> but files, are cutted and corrupted
[01:30] <yo_> sorry my bad english
[01:30] <Nuktar> I sometimes get stuck on wikipedia...
[01:31] <Nuktar> I am
[01:31] <Nuktar> from Europe
[01:31] <pp|Paul> I don't suppose anyone has any experiance with nm-applet dissapearing from their system tray do they?
[01:31] <tuxman> hi there
[01:31] <Nuktar> hi
[01:31] <yo_> i lost important files, docs, fotos....
[01:31] <zombie_> i think i was kicked out
[01:31] <yo_> i need help
[01:31] <Nuktar> yo?
[01:31] <xhaan> in the future always make backup before using gparted... it has bugs that can break stuff
[01:31] <yo_> Nuktar?
[01:32] <Nuktar> you said smth. about help
[01:32] <matkix> Hey question. I have an nvidia card and want to use nvidia drivers so I can get the max res. Anyone know the best way to go about?

[01:33] <ph8> can anyone give me info about submitting patches for ubuntu-server? their channel's dead
[01:33] <pp|Paul> I could do with some help
[01:34] <erUSUL> ph8: launchpad? file a bug report with the patch to the apropiate package
[01:35] <pp|Paul> Anyone good with nm-applet?
[01:35] <Traff> Why won't my Feisty install see my existing partitions?
[01:35] <ph8> erUSUL: I just attach the file to the bug report?
[01:35] <ph8> i assumed there'd be some sort of repository or something
[01:36] <erUSUL> ph8: there is, but i guess that you do not have acces to it, do you? i think that a bug report in launchpad is the best aproach
[01:37] <Nuktar> some good extra repoes? thanks in advance
[01:37] <ph8> i'm not sure, i'm in the server-team group but i joined yesterday and had no extra info :p
[01:37] <ph8> i'll attach it to the launchpad bug and see what happens
[01:37] <matkix> Alright, so I've installed the nvidia driver... Now how do I get x to use it? As well how do I get my res up?
[01:37] <monteiro> is there any way in the live cd to write lilo again?
[01:37] <ph8> cheers
[01:37] <Nuktar> reboot

[01:46] <Gasten> neo: try configuring your bios so they search for a kernel in your drive first.
[01:46] <neo> Gasten
[01:46] <neo> how?
[01:46] <neo> i come in bios
[01:46] <neo> but i dunno
[01:46] <neo> how

[01:47] <pp|Paul> help please
[01:47] <Gasten> neo: when you restart your computer, press esc, f10, del, insert or whatever your bios-key is.
[01:47] <neo> f12
[01:47] <neo> :)
[01:47] <Gasten> neo: f12, then.
[01:47] <neo> i know but i dont know how to set search cd
[01:47] <stefg> !enter | neo, please stop spamming the channel
[01:48] <ubotu> neo, please stop spamming the channel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:48] <Gasten> neo: its diffrenent on every model and firmware. you have to search.
[01:48] <neo> sorry
[01:48] <Gasten> neo: how did you install 5.10, or whatever you have?
[01:48] <neo> Gasten my brother setted bios
[01:49] <Gasten> ok.
[01:49] <Gasten> neo: cant you ask him to help you?
[01:49] <neo> i'll try
[01:49] <Gasten> :)
[01:50] <lieter> neo, i know that with Asus mainboards you can press F8 or ESC to bring up a small menu with all possible boot devices
[01:50] <neo> lieter i know
[01:50] <neo> tuxmaniac strange host u got
[01:51] <neo> Gasten i'll try........
[01:51] <tuxmaniac> neo, why?
[01:51] <neo> you=>
[01:51] <neo> a@unaffiliated/tuxmaniac
[01:51] <orbital_fox> hello
[01:51] <orbital_fox> im trying to setup my networking through a terminal
[01:51] <tuxmaniac> neo, thats not strange :-) its a cloak
[01:51] <orbital_fox> ive got no X
[01:51] <neo> ok
[01:52] <stefg> neo... however. don't install 5.04. it's outdated and no longer supported, and there's practically no way to upgrade to 7.04 from there
[01:52] <orbital_fox> now ive read a couple of tutos, but they had different methods
[01:52] <neo> stefg then i need to set bootdevices
[01:52] <orbital_fox> any suggestions as to what is the best way to setup my networking?
[01:52] <neo> but i know how
[01:52] <neo> my friend told me
[01:53] <Gasten> neo: the why dont you do that?
[01:54] <Logi> I've somehow messed up my wifi config so knetworkmanager doesn't list any networks and I'm having to iwconfig and dhclient to connect. Is there a way for me to ask NetworkManager directly what it can see so I know whether the problem is above or below that? (and generally to diagnose this)
[01:54] <stefg> neo: so get into the bios (usually <f2> or <del> at boot time) go to the advanced options and set the CD ROM as boot-device. Check your manufacturers site for instructions, this is not an ubuntu-issue
[01:54] <Gasten> stefg: he is gone :)
[01:55] <stefg> Gasten: good to know :-)
[01:55] <Gasten> stefg: those kids are funny.
[01:55] <Paddy_EIRE> jeezee I hate big brother
[01:56] <shafire> can anyone help me installung ubungu edgy on parallels??
[01:56] <hak5fan> Since I can't get my printer working I deleted the printer and tried readding it lpt #1 doesn't show up in devices list what now
[01:56] <stefg> shafire: rather use 7.04
[01:57] <xipietotec> does nm-applet handle wpa_supplicant automagically?
[01:57] <shafire> ok thx
[01:57] <Anlar> xipietotec: yes
[01:57] <hak5fan> Any ideas?
[01:57] <xipietotec> Anlar, danke =)
[01:58] <b0ha> im having problems with gaim. If friend sends me a smily (not the default smily, but bigger one), gaim crashes
[01:58] <Gasten> b0ha: had that tool
[01:58] <Logi> nm-tool it is....
[01:58] <Gasten> too*
[01:58] <kiasyn> hi
[01:58] <kiasyn> =]
[01:58] <b0ha> Gasten, did you fix it ?
[01:59] <Gasten> b0ha: Nope.
[01:59] <b0ha> Gasten, or do you changed to another msn client
[01:59] <Gasten> b0ha: no. I learned to live with it.
[01:59] <Gasten> b0ha: try to turn smilies off.
[01:59] <Gasten> b0ha: i you can live with that, that is.
[02:00] <b0ha> Gasten,  tnx anyway. I will try to live with that too :D
[02:01] <Gasten> b0ha: but the best thing would be to file a bug on launchpad.
[02:01] <enyo> okay im having a problem with apt-get

[02:02] <jmchaffie> Hey all, some little rat-fink, sent a pass-encrypted rar that's nothing more than a lie-advo, wondering if there is a good hex-editor for linux? I'd like to peel it apart just to see if a) what the heck is in it to make it the file size it is, and b) see if I CAN anpack it and find anything in it to nail the little bastard! lol
[02:02] <stefg> enyo: sudo apt-get update , then try again
[02:03] <enyo> tried that. all that really happens is it times out on wines gpg
[02:04] <enyo> wine.budgetdedicated etc that is next to impossible to connect to
[02:04] <stefg> enyo: get a fresh sources.list at !easysource
[02:04] <rickympl> hello

[02:06] <jmchaffie> cool, thanks. Just haven't had to break out a hex-editor in linux yet all these years. gonna have to tear apart an archive. Thanks tons.

[02:06] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:06] <MetaMorfoziS> Can anybody help me, how can i set up a simple internet sharing, with a machine "A" that have two ethernet cards (eth1->pppoe, and eth0 that connects to the other machine). I want to create a little network, that automatically adds an ipaddres and internet to the machine B
[02:06] <MetaMorfoziS> please:)
[02:07] <enyo> ooh i just got a new error message from apt-get

[02:07] <enyo> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[02:07] <hak5fan> what do I need to do to get lpt #1 to show up under the cups web interface's devices section?
[02:07] <t2> to config 2 graphic cards in xorg.conf does each one have its own separate "Section "Device" "   part ?
[02:07] <stefg> !firestarter | MetaMorfoziS
[02:07] <ubotu> MetaMorfoziS: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[02:08] <MetaMorfoziS> i need sharing, with dhcpd, not a firewall, or am i missunderstanding something stefg?
[02:08] <stefg> MetaMorfoziS: iptables sets up ICS, too, and firstarter assists you in doing so

[02:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ics - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:09] <rymblock> hi !

[02:11] <enyo> is there a keyboard shortcut for pasting in cli?

[02:12] <Anlar> argh. the flashplayer update that came today broke it entirely
[02:13] <enyo> also is there any solution for gstreamer getting out of sync with video?
[02:13] <stefg> Anlar: which dark and unknown repos are you using?
[02:13] <dv_> enyc, try disabling esd
[02:13] <enyo> esd?
[02:13] <rymblock> somebody are playing eve online with wine?
[02:13] <dv_> esd is usually responsible for a/v sync trouble
[02:14] <dv_> a sound daemon
[02:14] <enyo> rymblock, i got it working with .36
[02:14] <enyo> how do i do that?
[02:14] <dv_> killall esd
[02:14] <Anlar> stefg: only the official ones. there was an update, which downloaded, removed the "old" version and started installing new version.. which failed for md5 sum mismatch
[02:14] <dv_> then, change sound output to alsa
[02:14] <dv_> I think there is an entry in the System menu for switching sound output
[02:14] <stefg> Anlar: huh?.... flash9 updated? not with me...
[02:15] <dv_> as said, call "killall esd" in a terminal as root
[02:15] <pushpop> Hello all, I am new to Ubuntu and I want to manually partition my drive.  I have 1 160gb hd that i want to use as my main hd where the os is installed.  Then I have a 250gb I will be using for storage... Just wondering what would be the best way to partition the drives for maximum peformance?
[02:15] <Anlar> stefg: mirroring some non-critical updates might be slow
[02:15] <tondar> whats comipz fusion chann name ?
[02:15] <enyo> hmm i think i was already set to use alsa
[02:15] <enyo> but ill try that thanks
[02:15] <lieter> tondar, #ubuntu-effects
[02:16] <tondar> lieter: k
[02:16] <SourceContact> pushpop: you mean where to mount /home and the like, or what filesystems?
[02:16] <pushpop> Source Contact: both
[02:17] <rymblock> enyo, can you open me a private?
[02:17] <pushpop>  my main drive is 160GB, I want to store the os and my Virtual Machines on this drive.  Soo I would like performance on this drive.
[02:17] <pushpop> my 2nd drive is 250 GB drive I will be storing MP3's important files applications.  That I will need to have access to from my windows machine
[02:17] <Anlar> stefg: indeed, adobe updated 4 days ago the player
[02:17] <mbone> how to eject CD tray on Ubuntu ?
[02:18] <raf> huhu
[02:18] <SourceContact> pushpop: I would recommend a standard ext3 on the 160, and mount '/' on it - ext3 has no spectacular features, but is fast and solid
[02:18] <dv_> and, data recovery is much easier with ext3
[02:18] <stefg> pushpop: you should consider using two swaps (one on each drive). and you'll never need more than, say, 10 Gigs for the / (if you have /home separate) look at !lvm
[02:18] <enyo> hmm i made a new sources.list and now when doing apt-get i get these errors :
[02:18] <redbeard_> Hi all
[02:19] <enyo> ow when doing apt-get i get these errors :
[02:19] <enyo> er
[02:19] <SourceContact> pushpop: As for the data drive, I might have suggested XFS (which is what I use for my MythTV storage space), but if you need to get at it from windows, that limits your choices
[02:19] <raf> huhu
[02:19] <enyo> bah

[02:20] <shadowhywind> Hi all, I am trying to use sshfs to mount a fat32 partition on a server. I can connect to it ok, but when i try to copy any files over, it comes up with Can't change file permissions. Anyone have any ideas?
[02:20] <redbeard_> As a noob, I find it hard to figure out how to run newly installed apps
[02:20] <enyo> rymblock, whats wrong?
[02:20] <Anlar> rymblock: the best information you can find about eve&wine from the comments at wine's appdb...
[02:20] <redbeard_> It's not like they get listed in the Applications menu
[02:20] <Gasten> what gnome-version do you use in gutsy?
[02:20] <Logi> shadowhywind: well, FAT doesn't have file permissions, so setting them fails...
[02:21] <pushpop> Stefg: I have 4gb of memory in this machine is a swap partition still neccessary?
[02:21] <Anlar> rymblock: it usually works, until they update the client when it breaks.. then someone patches the wine again etc
[02:21] <kbrooks> Logi, it's hacked in i bet.
[02:21] <Logi> pushpop: only if you leave firefox running for long periods :)
[02:21] <rymblock> I have some problems with entering game, and , already readed all from appdb
[02:21] <shadowhywind> Logi but when i go to the server i can change the file permissions
[02:21] <SourceContact> pushpop: Maybe not, but you should have one anyway
[02:21] <shadowhywind> Logi but in anycase, any ideas on how to get rid of those messages then?
[02:21] <stefg> pushpop: if you don't want to hibernate, you'll hardly need swap... just make 128MB on each drive for good measure
[02:22] <redbeard_> Anyone?
[02:22] <Anlar> rymblock: then there's not much you can do.. except posting your experiences there
[02:22] <rymblock> err:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_Reset Cannot change the back buffer format yet
[02:22] <rymblock> err:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_Reset Cannot change the device window yet
[02:22] <enyo> rymblock,  are you using .38 or .36 of wine?
[02:22] <rymblock> thats the problem
[02:22] <SourceContact> pushpop: Right, for hibernation, you'll need as much swap as you have memory
[02:22] <redbeard_> The recommended  size for swap is twice your RAM, I believe
[02:23] <Par-Due> redbeard_: you mean half your ram?
[02:23] <redbeard_> Nope..
[02:23] <Gasten> Par-Due: no.
[02:23] <stefg> redbeard_: that's from 1995 ....
[02:23] <Anlar> rymblock: take the newest wine cvs version perhaps.. and fiddle with winecfg & graphics settings.. who knows, those things keep changing
[02:23] <Par-Due> twice your ram is way too much if you're running 2gb or 4gb
[02:23] <redbeard_> In the install notes for Ubuntu it says you should have between your RAM and 2*RAM
[02:23] <rymblock> im not sure about how can I do that xD
[02:23] <redbeard_> stefg: And that's for the latest release
[02:24] <redbeard_> So  I'm fairly certain it's valid
[02:24] <enyo> rymblock, the latest version of wine on the wine cvs doesn't work with eve i believe you have to use .36
[02:24] <Par-Due> When you have 2 or 4 gigs?! I don't see a reason for that
[02:24] <stefg> redbeard_: yeah, for those who want to hibernate
[02:24] <redbeard_> Anyways, can somebody please help a linux noob across the gap between INSTALLING and RUNNING?
[02:24] <Anlar> enyo: oh some of the eve specific patches didn't get in? they should still apply though
[02:24] <yuck> is sharpmusique unavailable?
[02:25] <redbeard_> stefg: Still, better to err on the side of caution, eh?
[02:25] <Gasten> redbeard_: type the name of the ap in a terminal.
[02:25] <enyo> well if you compiled your own .38 you should be okay if you used the patches
[02:25] <redbeard_> Gasten: Tried that
[02:25] <enyo> but i used .36 with the eve patches and it worked fine
[02:25] <Gasten> redbeard_: what app?
[02:25] <redbeard_> Gasten: I installed Network Manager from the Synaptic, and ran it by doubleclicking it in the popup - but after a logout, it's gone
[02:26] <redbeard_> Gasten: From the top panel,  I mean
[02:26] <Anlar> enyo: oh then rymblock should be poitned the the direction of ready compiled workign wine version.. :o
[02:26] <Gasten> redbeard_: It... just disapeared?
[02:26] <redbeard_> Gasten: It's probably still on the disk somewhere ;-) But where? How to run?
[02:26] <Gasten> spooky.
[02:27] <Gasten> redbeard_: have you searched all your menus?
[02:27] <redbeard_> Yup,
[02:27] <yuck> is sharpmusique unavailable?
[02:27] <redbeard_> But does that mean that installing an app _should_ add it to a menu?
[02:28] <rickympl> any sendmail gurus here? i keep getting this error: can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue-client/): Permission denied
[02:28] <redbeard_> Gasten: That would  at least make things easier (when it works, that is)
[02:28] <Anlar> it's GOOD that my display adapter sucks so much, especially with wine, that I can't even dream of playing Eve :) I'd have battleships lvl5 ready by now, 250 millions of bounty and a few hangars full of T2 stuff and prohecies (I love that ship)
[02:28] <MetaMorfoziS> stefg: thanx, but i have a problem, my second card is black, nothing shines on it, the leds are off on it. I have ifup eth0 but... it's black.
[02:28] <MetaMorfoziS> What can cause this?
[02:28] <redbeard_> Gasten: But it didn't in this case - and I've tried doing a find for it, as well as looking manually in /usr/bin and  several others
[02:29] <stefg> MetaMorfoziS: this looks more like hardware failure
[02:29] <MetaMorfoziS> And, it isn't work if i do sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.(10|20) on the two machine
[02:29] <Gasten> redbeard_: bu you have run it from the menu once?
[02:29] <MetaMorfoziS> yeah, i think the same:(
[02:29] <MetaMorfoziS> but i hoped anything else can cause this.
[02:29] <redbeard_> Gasten: No, from the popup in Synaptic
[02:29] <stefg> MetaMorfoziS: pull the card out, put back to a different slot
[02:29] <MetaMorfoziS> but it's an old card.
[02:29] <MetaMorfoziS> ok
[02:29] <MetaMorfoziS> brb
[02:29] <redbeard_> Gasten: You know, when you add an app, it shows  a list of added apps, and allows you to doubleclick them in the popup
[02:30] <redbeard_> Gasten: But I don't want to have to reinstall it every time I want to run it ;-)
[02:30] <redbeard_> Gasten: Kinda bothersome :-)
[02:31] <Gasten> redbeard_: Aha.... is there any way you can see which command got executed when you pressed the popup? Some apps dont make icons.
[02:31] <SourceContact> hey, stefg: why did you suggest two swaps?
[02:31] <screenname92834> hi folks I need some advice on anjuta please?
[02:31] <redbeard_> Gasten: See, if  I know how to answer that question, I'd just run it :-)
[02:31] <Gasten> redbeard_: :)
[02:31] <xhaan> SourceContact, if you have two it can split the work in between them, faster swapping
[02:32] <Gasten> redbeard_: what's the package name, then?
[02:32] <stefg> SourceContact: the kernel cleverly uses striping (raid0) on the swap if you mount them with equal priority
[02:32] <redbeard_> Gasten: Good question - can I see that in Synaptic?
[02:32] <screenname92834> folks, I'm just trying to create a new project with anjuta, and clearly it's not fully installed as it produces a whole list of things I need.
[02:32] <SourceContact> xhaan, stefg: very cool :)
[02:32] <screenname92834> like glib etc.
[02:32] <Gasten> redbeard_: its probably the name you pressed install on.
[02:32] <kbrooks> redbeard_, um
[02:32] <kbrooks> redbeard_, it's not that hard to find the package
[02:33] <kbrooks> redbeard_, in synaptic
[02:33] <redbeard_> Gasten: It's just called Network Manager
[02:33] <kbrooks> redbeard_, start it, and then look at the name of the new program in add/remove
[02:33] <redbeard_> Gasten: Don't see any other name there
[02:33] <kbrooks> redbeard_, search for that name in synaptic
[02:33] <kbrooks> redbeard_, tell me the packages that come up
[02:33] <screenname92834> so what else should I install to get anjuta operating?
[02:33] <redbeard_> kbrooks: I  installed it from there
[02:34] <xhaan> stefg, would it still work between a swap partition and a swap file?
[02:34] <getBoa> hi y'all, does anybody know how to remove the font shadow of Eterm  ???
[02:34] <stefg> xhaan: no idea, think so. but swap files are baaaddd
[02:34] <redbeard_> kbrooks: It's a supported ubuntu apap
[02:34] <redbeard_> app
[02:34] <kbrooks> stefg, in the sense of inefficiency
[02:35] <xhaan> stefg, any particular reason why theyre bad?
[02:35] <kbrooks> stefg, and swap files only work for windows
[02:35] <xhaan> kbrooks, you can make swap files on linux also
[02:35] <kbrooks> stefg, when its easier ... but they do have disadvantages there
[02:35] <redbeard_> kbrooks: But I guess the package name cannot be Network Manager? They all seem to be lowercase, with - inbetween
[02:35] <kbrooks> xhaan, by "work", i dont mean you cant make them there
[02:35] <stefg> xhaan: 1.) you go through the filesystem 2.) fragmentation (it get's in the way for normal fs-operations)
[02:36] <kbrooks> xhaan, you misunderstood
[02:36] <screenname92834> so once you've installed anjuta, what else do you need to get?
[02:36] <xhaan> they do work, ives used them before... unless you mean something else by 'work'
[02:36] <kbrooks> stefg, swap files are used in windows, and are bad for exactly these reasons you gave
[02:36] <he11c0de> Hi, I just tried to compile python2.5 (to apply a patch) but when I did "sudo apt-get build-dep python2.5" apt-get said UBUNTU-DESKTOP was going to be removed! What do I have to do?
[02:37] <kbrooks> xhaan, make sense there when they are "required", so as to bypass partitioning difficulties.
[02:38] <kbrooks> xhaan, typically, there  is only one partition with windows when you install it.
[02:38] <raavi> Can anyone have some idea, how to separate gnome and kde items on gnome and kde menus respectively?
[02:38] <kbrooks> xhaan, and that "one partition" is the problem.
[02:38] <stefg> xhaan: but that's all academic mumbo-jumbo .. i have 512 MB, and never ever used more tha 32 MB of swap on that machine. Most of these considerations became irrelevant on todays hardware
[02:38] <redbeard_> Anybody?
[02:38] <kbrooks> xhaan, so microsoft has to put a swap file on there
[02:38] <redbeard_> Still stranded here
[02:38] <redbeard_> Help?

[02:39] <kbrooks> redbeard_, what do you need help on?
[02:39] <redbeard_> Network Mananger
[02:39] <redbeard_> Manager
[02:39] <redbeard_> I just want  to run  it
[02:39] <kbrooks> redbeard_, why?
[02:39] <redbeard_> To use my WLAN card
[02:39] <xhaan> i used a swap file in freebsd and also with debian... never had fragment problems, and i push my computers pretty hard
[02:40] <stefg> redbeard_: first of all: Do you need network-manager (is it a laptop which roams between different nets)?
[02:40] <xhaan> though i do prefer a swap partition... but i already have a lot of partitions lol
[02:40] <redbeard_> stefg: Yep, It's a laptop - no, not much roaming,  but once in a while
[02:41] <redbeard_> stefg: So I'd like a systray  tool to control it
[02:41] <redbeard_> stefg: Also, the standard network tool doesn't support WPA

[02:42] <ubotu> redbeard_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:43] <redbeard_> Been there, yes
[02:43] <Logi> ok, after a bunch of messing around, deconfiguring the wireless card in /etc/network/interfaces and rebooting brought it back in network manager
[02:43] <xhaan> ooh, just discovered that i left 10gb free for more partitions... guess i can just make another one
[02:43] <redbeard_> stefg: And I got the wpa supplicant as well as wpa gui
[02:44] <getBoa> im looking for a complete source.list ? can you guys show yours
[02:44] <redbeard_> stefg: But, wpa gui needs to connect to wpa supplicant, and it says no reply

[02:44] <getBoa> thanks
[02:45] <enyo> why is desktop spelt with a capital D in ubuntu?
[02:45] <stefg> akos: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ndiswrapper
[02:45] <t2> i have two vga cards in my system one AGP one PCI...when ubuntu generates xorg.conf it somehow uses the APG card to drive the monitor that is connected to PCI card how is this possible ?
[02:45] <timewriter> hi
[02:45] <stefg> enyo: becaus nOOb i spelled with two capital O#s
[02:45] <Logi> can anyone recommend a web-controlled media player, preferably with ubuntu packages and running headless?
[02:45] <timewriter> someone can give me a good link about how to compile a new kernel ?
[02:45] <enyo> :|
[02:46] <redbeard_> stefg: "Could not get status from wpa supplicant"

[02:47] <timewriter> thank you
[02:47] <redbeard_> stefg: Wiki says I should do an update-pciids, so I did
[02:47] <redbeard_> stefg: But to use wpa-gui, apparently wpa supplicant  needs to be running
[02:48] <enyo> stefg, autosources worked but now i get an odd error message when i use apt-get update
[02:48] <redbeard_> stefg: And I'm not sure how to do that
[02:48] <enyo> The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available
[02:49] <_Roly> I am having problems with an acer aspire 5633 using the intel wireless 3945 card.  I can see the networks in the available area.  It takes about 1 min to connect to a network and then the connection just drops and reconnects every 15 seconds or so.  The network icon show the signal drop from 90% to 0% and back again.  I am using ubuntu feisty.
[02:50] <timewriter> ok
[02:51] <SourceContact> has anyone here used TimeVault?
[02:51] <abelp>  good day for everyone
 I have 2 questions
 1st where do I have/reach new linux icons?
 2nd I have to monitors and I want to continue the desktop to the second monitor. How can I do that?
[02:51] <magnetron> _Roly: sounds like you may be to far from the network access points, or something is obstructing the path (metal, thick walls etc)
[02:52] <kbrooks> SourceContact, just ask
[02:52] <stefg> redbeard_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=242195 is all i can do for you atm. no idea why wpa doesn't work
[02:52] <_Roly> magnetron: i am sure that this is not the case.  the signal is about 90%. other laptops can connect no problem at full speed.
[02:52] <SourceContact> that's my question: Has anyone here used TimeVault?
[02:53] <enyo> anyone here play world of warcraft with wine?
[02:53] <rickympl> i get this error: can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue-client/): Permission denied, ls -la on /var/spool : drwxrws---  2 root smmsp 4096 2007-07-14 14:40 mqueue-client, what is wrong, what makes me get the error?
[02:53] <SourceContact> kbrooks: I want to see if people are using it for revision control of documents, etc.
[02:53] <redbeard_> stefg: Thanks for trying :-)
[02:53] <magnetron> enyo: appdb.winehq.org
[02:54] <stefg> enyo: you have to get the gpg keys of the repos and add them. this is nothing to be too worried about, but having the gpg-keys prevents spoofed packages to enter your system
[02:54] <kuukkeli> how to change my keyboard options?
[02:54] <kbrooks> SourceContact, i haven't tried it, but maybe a search for "timevault ubuntu" on google will give us some results. hang on please'
[02:54] <enyo> ah .. can't really be bothered with that
[02:54] <jatt> kuukkeli: System->Preferences->Keyboard
[02:55] <SourceContact> kbrooks: :) Thanks, but I know what it does - I'm the author and I was looking for feedback from non-beta-testers.
[02:55] <kbrooks> SourceContact, ahhh
[02:55] <kbrooks> SourceContact, okay...
[02:56] <abelp> where do I have/reach new linux icons?
[02:56] <kbrooks> SourceContact, can i help you with it, i mean code
[02:56] <SourceContact> that would be extremely cool

[02:57] <SourceContact> to talk about future directions, etc.
[02:57] <kbrooks> SourceContact, after a quick (shocking eh? wait) peruse of the screenshots, it needs a quick fix
[02:58] <kbrooks> SourceContact, for example
[02:58] <SourceContact> kbrooks: ?
[02:58] <kbrooks> SourceContact, having two buttons to launch snapshot browser may be unintutive
[02:59] <SourceContact> kbrooks: sure :)
[02:59] <kbrooks> SourceContact,  i can attend
[02:59] <kbrooks> SourceContact,  it's at 1 pm EDT here
[02:59] <akos> I'm trying to get my wifi work with ndiswrapper... but ndiswrapper says it is not a valid driver? netw4x64 : invalid driver! wtf?
[02:59] <SourceContact> kbrooks: excellent, yep 1PM eastern
[02:59] <akos> i should download the drivers for windows XP 64 bit right? (im running amd64)
[03:00] <Tanman> i get this from winscp as well: Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?
[03:00] <SourceContact> I was looking for user feedback to bring to the meeting
[03:00] <jatt> Tanman: nmap the server and see
[03:00] <redbeard_> stefg: In caseu
[03:01] <redbeard_> stefg: In case you're curious, I found the name of Network Manager: it's nm-applet :-)
[03:01] <Tanman> nmap?
[03:01] <jatt> yes
[03:01] <Tanman> it works ok with another user
[03:01] <akos> stefg, trying to get my wifi work with ndiswrapper... but ndiswrapper says it is not a valid driver? netw4x64 : invalid driver! wtf? i should download the drivers for windows XP 64 bit right? (im running amd64)
[03:02] <jatt> Tanman: then the host is running an sftp server
[03:02] <Tanman> must not be configured properly..
[03:02] <abelp> can i change my regular icon for a PNG image?!
[03:02] <magnetron> abelp: yes
[03:02] <Tanman> i would like to jail a few users
[03:02] <Tanman> in sftp scp
[03:02] <abelp> wow!
[03:03] <JayRoe> Does ubuntu have a partition manager?
[03:03] <Tanman> using* so i used a tool called jailkit

[03:03] <stefg> akos: ndiswrapper in 64 bit is asking for trouble. you might get away with manually updating ndiswrapper to the latest version, but honestly i'd recommend sticking to 32 ubuntu anyway
[03:03] <JayRoe> thanks magnetron
[03:03] <abelp> if its a high res image will ubuntu resample ir for the icon? or is recommended to use an already resampled image?
[03:03] <Tanman> do i need a bash shell for scp and sftp to work?
[03:03] <Tanman> or some shell?

[03:03] <Tanman> and jailed as well..

[03:08] <stefg> pushpop: how old is your bios?
[03:08] <Spaceman3750> Is openGL installed by default or do I need to get it from the repo?
[03:08] <pushpop> stefg: brand new AM2 board
[03:08] <magnetron> !install > Gissehel   (please read the private message from ubotu)
[03:09] <abelp> I have to monitors and I want to continue the desktop to the second monitor. How can I do that?
[03:09] <Gissehel> !install
[03:09] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[03:09] <Spaceman3750> Is openGL installed by default or do I need to get it from the repository?
[03:10] <lilei> if i use linux can i be 100% sure i wont be sued for anything? because its a witch hunt in sweden after people who pirate these days so i switched to ubuntu...
[03:10] <stefg> pushpop: looks like some overflow in some counter.... but what i'd do is put swap and a 10 Gig / (root) on the bigger drive, and let the rest be handled through lvm. theis enable you to have the 160 Gigs and the rest of the 250 Gig drive as one big space
[03:11] <Gissehel> Ok thanks (looked for "floppy" on web pages while it was "floppies" I needed to search) !
[03:11] <stefg> !lvm | pushpop

[03:12] <magnetron> lilei: being a Swedish citizen myself, i share your concern. The packages that comes with Ubuntu by default specifically exclude any software that would get you in trouble in any way.
[03:12] <abelp> is this setting a hardcore thing to a newbie like me?
[03:12] <enyo> hmm i think my wine install may be broken. and i need to reinstall the gecko engine inside wine.. any idea how?
[03:13] <lilei> magnetron och tack gode gud.... vill inte ka fast fildelning. jag vill ga over helt till sadant som ar gratis
[03:14] <lilei> ppna format ar nog bast
[03:14] <magnetron> lilei: /join ubuntu-se fr svenska
[03:14] <lilei> ok
[03:14] <magnetron> ska vara #ubuntu-se
[03:14] <stefg> pushpop: btw, you'll need the alternate installer to set that up
[03:15] <pushpop> ugh, this is not noobie friendly
[03:15] <pushpop> just a tad confused
[03:16] <HEP85> is somebody here familiar with ntfs-3g?
[03:16] <enyo> ergh

[03:16] <john__> how to connect to IRCHighway ?
[03:17] <john__> I can't find it on list of networks
[03:17] <enyo> stefg, short read in buffer_copy ?
[03:17] <Abnaxos> Ah, sorry. It was really just the install. The system reboots just fine now. Thanks anyway. :)
[03:17] <stefg> pushpop: or you jsut create 128 MB of swap on each drive, and a 10G on the bigger one, leaving the rest unpartitioned. do a desktop install and prepare the lvm later from there
[03:17] <pushpop> stefg: do I create a /home partition or just swap and /root and create home with the LVM
[03:17] <kiasyn> hmm
[03:17] <kiasyn> where did my sound go =[
[03:18] <kyja> where is the dvd images?

[03:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about releases-dvd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:18] <john__> he means DVD ISO images
[03:19] <stefg> pushpop: good question... depends on your needs. but you can do a basic install first, and then change things later
[03:19] <pushpop> ok
[03:19] <john__> try http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/gutsy-dvd-i386.iso
[03:19] <getBoa> alguem sabe como tirar a sombra da font no Eterm
[03:19] <kyja> thx
[03:20] <stefg> pushpop: i personally prefer to have my /home with the OS-partition, so it gets backed up whenever i do a partition image. but my actual stuff (like media and documents) is physically on a different drive, just the folders are symlinked into my /home

[03:35] <meep> Jack_Sparrow: why not :(
[03:35] <magnetron> meep: depends. in most cases, no. it would work better if you reinstalled them in the ubuntu setup
[03:35] <mycelph> What program do you use to rip VCD's
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> They need to be installed into wine
[03:35] <meep> okey dokey

[03:37] <Myrth> hi, how can i make knetworkmanager not to update /etc/resolv.conf when connecting to vpn?
[03:37] <Apollyn> is there a ipsec/racoon-specialist there?
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> stefg: you seem to be here alot.. if you see a guy named vietnow or something xlose to that.. the fix for his install problem is to reduce the amount of shared video ram by adjusting the setting in the bios..
[03:37] <kazim59> john__: how much does it cost? gotta ask dad!!
[03:37] <brainiac8008> kazim59:  I use 512 MB and when I do multiple things on Ubuntu it still occasionally uses some swap
[03:37] <john__> lets see
[03:37] <mycelph> Just crack 2GB into your computer
[03:38] <john__> should be less than $50
[03:38] <kazim59> john__: really..?
[03:38] <kiasyn> ram is cheap enough to upgrade, and generally worth it
[03:38] <Apollyn> or do you know a place to get support for ipsec-tools ?
[03:38] <john__> US $ that is

[03:56] <Newbie_Dude> I recently discovered how customizable the panels are. Ubuntu is really amazing!
 what's XGL? can i get it from synaptec database?
[03:56] <Beatbreaker> ...or do you have a guide of how to install it?

[03:56] <skulrid> one qstion: why everytime (most of them) I install a program with synaptic (like I just did with qemu) why doesnt it go to the Applications menu and why cant I find it anywhere?
[03:56] <VoX> akos: i'ver never looked at ndis before - havent needed to. ndis isnt always going to work 100% with all cards/drivers. you may need to trying running fiesty32
[03:56] <HEP85> yes. the package is xserver-xgl. but if it worked before without it then maybe the newly installed driver is wrong
[03:56] <akos> VoX, damn
[03:57] <akos>  /j #ndiswrapper
[03:57] <HEP85> could it be that you installed an older one. texture_from_pixmap support is quiet new
[03:57] <akos> sry
[03:57] <xhaan> skulrid, not all are meant to go there, youll have to find it manually... using whereis helps
[03:57] <Beatbreaker> i think i've already got xserver-xgl
[03:57] <VoX> akos: realisticly, there isnt a _huge_ performance advantage running the 64bit version, unless you're doing massively-computational work
[03:57] <kitche> skulrid: qemu is a cli program
[03:58] <HEP85> then it is probably not starting. i mean xgl
[03:58] <skulrid> what is that man?
[03:58] <HEP85> !xgl

[03:58] <xhaan> skulrid, or if the program is added to the path you just have to know the name of it
[03:58] <kitche> !cli | skulrid

[03:58] <Beatbreaker> humm hold on i don't have xserver-xgl
[03:58] <magnetron> !info qemu-launcher > skulrid
[03:58] <Beatbreaker> i'll give it a try and get back to you if it dosne't work
[03:58] <timstokman> hey, is there any way to install php4 from repo? can't seem to find it
[03:58] <Beatbreaker> cheers!
[03:58] <johan_>  the gnome File Browser doesn't show me PDF previews on a smb mounted volume. I have changed the preferences (Preview, Show thumbnails -> "Always") so ... am I doing something wrong?
[03:58] <skulrid> as I say, sometimes linux can be a real pain :)
[03:59] <Beatbreaker> is there anyting else i should try to install while i'm in the synaptec?
[03:59] <Frogzoo> is there anything like enlightenment's floating application switcher for gnome?
[03:59] <berent> Beatbreaker : what's your age?
[03:59] <xhaan> johan_, did you change it from local files only?
[04:00] <Beatbreaker> 24 - why should it matter?
[04:00] <kiasyn> hmm, my sound disappears everytime i touch the volume control, ive been able to fix it a couple of times using aslamixer and alsactl but its not coming back this time, any ideas anyone? =)
[04:00] <berent> Beatbreaker : nothing specific
[04:00] <johan_> xhaan: yes, i changed it to "Always"
[04:00] <aa^way> hey, trying to set up a Mozilla Control with WINE, it tells me i gotta select Mozilla location but i cant select it because i cant select hidden files in that list. how??
 ok well ok then
[04:00] <berent> Beatbreaker : you can install anything you want depending on your needs
[04:00] <xhaan> johan_, oh yeah, i misread sorry
[04:01] <akos> ok...
[04:01] <enyo> erk
[04:01] <enyo> Failed to check for installed and available applications
[04:01] <enyo> This is a major failure of your software management system.
 i meant "should i install anything more than xserver-xgl to get my compiz-fusion working" hoping that the context would imply itself
[04:02] <enyo> stefg, that problem came back again
[04:02] <stefg> enyo: what was it?
[04:02] <HEP85> akos: are you using the XP drivers? I guess Vista drivers won't work
[04:02] <Beatbreaker> anyway i'm giving it a shot - thanks all for your help, i'll be back!
[04:02] <akos> HEP85, yeah

[04:03] <stefg> enyo: did you use automatix?

[04:05] <kiasyn> hmm, my sound disappears everytime i touch the volume control, ive been able to fix it a couple of times using aslamixer and alsactl but its not coming back this time, any ideas anyone? =)
[04:05] <enyo> bronze-,  seagate generally are better and usualy have better warranities
[04:05] <HEP85> Beatbreaker: you have to start xgl first. only installing does not do the trick
[04:05] <Zombie> Is anyone else experiencing a whole bunch of disconnects with the Security Updates?
[04:05] <pushpop> stefg: what is the alternative to pvcreate with lvm2
[04:06] <stefg> Beatbreaker: i was using an outdated trigger for the bot to make you aware that compiz support is in #ubuntu-effects
[04:06] <enyo> :S stefg  i can't even open sources.list now
[04:06] <Frogzoo> pushpop: would you believe... pvcreate???
[04:06] <stefg> pushpop: what do you mean by alternative to pvcreate?
[04:06] <enyo> its causing nautilus to freeze

[04:07] <pushpop> vgcreate?
[04:07] <Beatbreaker_> xgl
[04:07] <Beatbreaker_> bash: xgl: command not found
[04:08] <stefg> pushpop: hold on a sec... did you sudo apt-get lvm2 ?
[04:08] <HEP85> i think it is Xgl --> uppercase
[04:08] <rambo3> Beatbreaker_ folow the howto
[04:08] <Dark-Magician> is it possible to install Ubuntu on one computer, then move it it another computer?
[04:08] <Beatbreaker_> i don't understand what you guys mean by !xgl etc.... i tryied it in the terminal but wouldn't reposnd
[04:08] <enyo> okay this is pretty bad. i can no longer open sources.list and when i do attempt gnome freezes
[04:08] <pushpop> stefg yes
[04:08] <t2> hi can someone help... i have two graphic cards one PCI one AGP and a proper xorg.conf... but KDE always completeley freezes the system if i make the widescreen monitor my main display... it works fine if i use the other display... XFCE does not crash why why ???
[04:09] <francis_> Could some one please tell me how to I reinstall the nvidia drivers . It was working fine till i recompiled my Kernel to .6.21
[04:09] <HEP85> !xgl lets the ubotu bot print out the link to the howto
[04:09] <jack> can anyone help me with a mysql server error please?
[04:10] <eifzon_> Hmm, i wonder how i shall partitionate my disk, i have choosen LVM, and wonder if its good to use "reiserfs" on a "Seagate 500GB Sataii 16MB Cache"
[04:10] <HEP85> francis_: try sudo depmod -a
[04:10] <stefg> pushpop: hold on a sec... ther's some symlink which must be created to work around some bug
[04:10] <pushpop> stefg: check this www.pastebin.ca/619138
[04:10] <kiasyn> its not good to use a seagate 500gb sataii 16mb cache, you better give it to me =[
[04:10] <francis_> HEP85:
[04:10] <francis_> one movement
[04:10] <eifzon_> kiasyn, you know what filesystem to use? for desktop use
[04:11] <stefg> pushpop: oops.... where had your (non-lvm'd) root gone?
[04:11] <francis_> HEP85: is there a newer driver for the .21
[04:11] <francis_> ?
[04:12] <Raz> #ubuntu-ve
[04:12] <pushpop> root is there no?
[04:12] <t2> hahahahahahaha
[04:12] <kyja> omg virtualbox rawks
[04:12] <aa^way> How i could see version what im running? Ubuntu
[04:12] <HEP85> if you use a new kernel you also need a new driver, because it is a kernel module
[04:12] <pushpop> stefg: /dev/sdb2   *        1216       14590   107421875+  83  Linux
[04:12] <pushpop> stefg: i made root 100gb
[04:12] <stefg> pushpop: yeah, now i see it... temporary blindness attack :-)
[04:12] <HEP85> well not exactly new driver, but rather recompile the old driver with the new kernel headers
[04:13] <francis_> HEP85: depmod -a gives no output
[04:13] <pushpop> stefg: = )
[04:13] <stefg> pushpop: whta the hell are you going to do with a 100 GB root?
[04:13] <francis_> HEP85: how do I recompile it with the new kernel ?
[04:13] <jasiu> hi
[04:13] <pushpop> stefg: =) good questions, at first i thought id be storing my virtual machines on root
[04:14] <HEP85> where did you get your driver?
[04:14] <stefg> pushpop: stupid idea
[04:14] <pushpop> stefg: to late to resize?
[04:14] <pushpop> stefg: well im a noob so its understandable = )
[04:14] <eifzon_> pushpop, like 30GB is enough :P
 where is the how to? are you suggesting that i reinstall my compiz fusion?
[04:14] <pushpop> hehe
[04:15] <francis_> i got it for apt-get last time
[04:15] <eifzon_> pushpop, 30GB /, 2GB swap, rest on home

[04:15] <HEP85> ok. you can only use the driver from apt-get with the kernel from apt-get
[04:15] <jasiu> thx
[04:15] <jasiu> bye
[04:16] <stefg> pushpop: and there's an odd thing, with the root being inside the sun disk-label. you're going to use dos-partition tables, so i'd rather start over
[04:16] <francis_> humm .. i got this kernel for kernel.org
[04:16] <HEP85> if you compile the kernel yourself, like you did. you will need the driver install files from the nvidia page
[04:16] <_Lucretia_> Left the machine running over night, the only apps running were terminal, synaptic, xchat2 and ff, woke up and it had hung, CRASHED THE MACHINE

 i've tried the #ubuntu-effects server but nobody is replying
[04:17] <akos> this sounds fishy
[04:17] <stefg> pushpop: yeah, for good measure... and i'd recommend using the alternate installer. Will make things easier
[04:17] <pushpop> stefg: what do you mean by alt. installer
[04:17] <jasiu> van u write me thet addresses of themes??
 how do i restart xgl?
[04:17] <pushpop> non graphic mode?

[04:20] <defrysk> hmm
[04:20] <eifzon_> I suppose I am going for ext3 then :\
[04:20] <stefg> pushpop: so roughly skimming what you'll have to do. leave the two small swaps, create a 10 GB (or even 20) partition on sdb  to hold the OS. then make  the rest of sda one big part, and the rest of sdb one big part. You're going to use these as PEs for lvm then
[04:20] <zabin> How should I install the drivers for my nvidia card? If i use the restricted ubuntu drive install method my max resolution is 800X600 and doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesnt fix that.

[04:21] <MrTsunami> bronze-: exaile.org
[04:22] <HEP85> you need to select the archive you downloaded for the theme
[04:22] <ccoffey> compengi: thanks
[04:22] <jasiu> ok
[04:22] <jasiu> thx
[04:22] <stefg> pushpop: and don't rely on gParted on the live CD... it's pretty flaky. do the partitioning of the two big PE partitons from the installed system,

[04:22] <HEP85> don't extract it before

[04:27] <zabin> k
[04:28] <zabin> thanks for yuor help
[04:28] <yrjan> faemir: no, you're talking to the wrong person ;)

[04:31] <sudobash> the question is are there Sudo Bash shirts???? there should be
[04:31] <skulrid> how do I kill Firefox by command-???
[04:31] <sudobash> ps aux
[04:31] <francis_> HEP85: yea I was telling ya abt the hardware I have . Any idea how i could get it working
[04:31] <sudobash> find the pid number of firefox and do kill pid#

[04:32] <yrth> berent: Error opening/initialazing the selected video_out (-vo) device
[04:32] <rob_p> skulrid: killall firefox-bin
[04:32] <sudobash> that works better
[04:32] <skulrid> and WINE?
[04:32] <sudobash> killall wine
[04:32] <skulrid> nuno@ubuntu:~$ killall wine
[04:32] <skulrid> wine: no process killed
[04:33] <skulrid> ...
[04:33] <sudobash> do a ps aux
[04:33] <sudobash> and find wines pid number
[04:33] <sudobash> process id
[04:33] <compengi> skulrid, why don't you just do "ps aux | grep program" take the pid number then "sudo kill -9 pid"
[04:33] <HEP85> francis_: I have no clue
[04:33] <francis_> oo okkk
[04:33] <Newbie_Dude> How exactly does the Synaptic software repository work? Particularly, do the developers of each piece of software update the repository with newer versions? I noticed things like ScummVM are on version 1.0.0 now, but in the Add/Remove it is still only v0.9.1.
[04:33] <skulrid> but why all that work if theres killall?
[04:34] <ilikec0ws> Newbie_Dude, Ubuntu has a 6 month release cycle
[04:34] <SlimeyPete> Newbie_Dude: volunteer package-maintainers update/fix packages
[04:34] <blastthisinferno> is there a way to check for a package before you install through the command line?
[04:34] <skulrid> i realy think  linux is getting more n more complicated and useless...
[04:34] <SlimeyPete> Newbie_Dude: so sometimes the packaged version is behind the latest official version
[04:34] <yrth> berent.. any ideas?
[04:34] <akos> installing windows drivers using ndiswrapper: installing netw4x64 ...     \n        couldn't find models section "Device" -               \n              installation may be incomplete
[04:34] <Newbie_Dude> ilikec0ws, SlimeyPete : I see, so new programs and newer versions come every six months. Very cool, I wish it was October already. xD
[04:34] <kitche> Newbie_Dude: pakcage versions don't update until next release of ubuntu
[04:34] <akos> noew what?
[04:35] <compengi> skulrid, because with killall you need to know the exact name of the program but with "ps aux | grep program" you would be actually searching for the program's processes then kill it using "kill -9 pid"

[04:35] <HEP85> francis_: try "sudo modprobe nvsound"
[04:35] <ilikec0ws> Newbie_Dude, Its generally that, updates are brought out to patch bugs/security flaws
[04:35] <blastthisinferno> thanks
[04:35] <HEP85> francis_: if it does not work, there is another: "sudo modprobe intel8x0"
[04:35] <berent> yrth : wait a min
[04:35] <francis_> HEP85: nvsound is not a module
[04:36] <Newbie_Dude> ilikec0ws, SlimeyPete : I hope the developers of my favorite software packages decide to make use of the repository. It makes installation so much easier than compiling.
[04:36] <compengi> skulrid, that's the best way of doing things
[04:36] <HEP85> francis_: maybe it is "sudo modprobe snd_intel8x0"
[04:36] <skulrid> hum
[04:36] <yrth> btw, berent, the thumbnail shows an actual frame from that video
[04:36] <francis_> HEP85: have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2622017 check the post by farbird on the 9th of may

[04:36] <compengi> skulrid, nothing is going complicated it just the matter of habit and how you are used to do
[04:37] <m1r> francis_ ; u managed to fix wlan ?
[04:37] <francis_> ubotu: even though lspci lists it as nVidia how come i have to use a intel driver
[04:37] <Dark-Magician> I installed Ubuntu for my laptop, by installing it thru my desktop PC, Is there anyway to make Ubuntu reconfigure for the Laptop?
[04:37] <Archoniam> Hi, uh, is there a way for the 'alien' program to convert .tar.gzs to .debs? If so, then how and if not then what will it convert?
[04:37] <francis_> m1r: hey was looking for ya
[04:38] <francis_> i am on a day off today so i am working on it
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !rmp
[04:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rmp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !rpm
[04:38] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:38] <skulrid> compengi we need to spend a weekend to know how to install a program, another to know how to find and load that program, another to close it..... man im on ubuntu for a long time now but I feell like going back cause I just dont have the time to learn all this complicated things.....
[04:38] <Archoniam> lol
[04:38] <hammedhaaret> kitche: ok... nothing... even tried to do a search for it in the whole /usr folder.   I probably installed it wrong or something.   when i run the install command in terminal, is nothing supposed to happen? like not even a hint whether it installed or anything?
[04:39] <HEP85> francis_: did modprobe find the intel module?
[04:39] <francis_> yea
[04:39] <francis_> the one on the post i showed ya

[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Archoniam: do you still need some help with that question
[04:40] <AndyCR> hi, im having issues with the ipw3945 driver with an intel pro/wireless 3945abg. it disconnects from the base station CONSTANTLY (every few seconds). if I use a different adapter, from the same exact location, it stays connected for days.
[04:40] <laurita> bye
[04:40] <francis_> oo sweet thats exacty the one i have
[04:40] <francis_> will read through it
[04:40] <Archoniam> Jack_Sparrow: No, i switched to Rhythmbox and it works fine now.

[04:43] <yrth> I knew that kbrooks
[04:43] <yrth> thenk
[04:43] <yrth> thanks
[04:43] <ubuntuEdgy> can someone please have a look at my fstab its complaining about line  5 http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/1807/untitledcr3.png
[04:43] <yrth> brb
[04:43] <HEP85> francis_: type "cp /dev/urandom /dev/dsp" you should hear noise, if you got sound working
[04:43] <kefas_> tanks magnetron
[04:43] <berent> kbrooks: what have you done
[04:44] <astro76> ubuntuEdgy, you have to specify a device, it says /dev/
[04:44] <francis_> Wowww it works HEP85
[04:44] <Nutubuntu> ubuntuEdgy,  /dev/fd0 or something like that should be in 5
[04:44] <kbrooks> berent, i have told you (via ubotu) that you can't login as root from the GUI, nor should you, ever
[04:44] <francis_> finally i can hear noise
[04:44] <Phu> help! S.O.S...    what's the default name of evolutions folder?  is it '.evolution'  or '.Evolution' !?!
[04:45] <berent> kbrooks : i meant to open a file as root to edit
[04:45] <Nutubuntu> .evolution, Phu
[04:45] <stefg> ubuntuEdgy: you either mount by /dev or by UUID , not both at the same time
[04:45] <HEP85> francis_: if you want to test it further, there is a command line mp3 player named mpg321
[04:45] <francis_> HEP85: i currently have this module for the sound card loaded
[04:45] <francis_> snd-hda-intel model=3stack
[04:45] <ilikec0ws> berent, sudo nano or gksudo gedit
[04:45] <Phu> Natubuntu... thanks!

[04:45] <berent> ok
[04:45] <ubuntuEdgy> i like dev
[04:45] <compengi> skulrid, well let me tell you something, i was using windows for 7 years and that's my first year using linux. at first i had the same feeling, that things are complicated and such, but when i went through several stages, i found out that it's the matter of habit. know i can't imagine my self clicking next, next, then finish. i feel like someone is laughing at me, because i want to know what i'm doing, not just see how installing application process ru

[04:46] <ubuntuEdgy> whats this defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[04:47] <Archoniam> is there a way for the 'alien' program to convert .tar.gzs to .debs? If so, then how and if not then what will it convert?
[04:47] <kefas_> magnetron  Install the Apache and all good install php and of equal it(he,she) forms(trains) all good but when he(she) installs mysql and on having wanted to enter from the terminus mysql - or root-p mistake goes out for me 2002
[04:47] <kitche> Archoniam: it only does binary packages not source packages
[04:47] <kbrooks> ubuntuEdgy, on hard drive errors, remount partition ro (read only). defaults, i don't know
[04:47] <novato_br> how can I make ubuntu disk install on my pendrive?
[04:47] <francis_> cp  /dev/urandom /dev/dsp now gives me device or resourve busy
[04:47] <HEP85> francis_: hmm. maybe it uses another driver. at least /dev/dsp works
[04:47] <Nutubuntu> Archoniam,  alien converts rpms ... I think that's their name. To turn a .tar.gz source file into a .deb you would compile a package
[04:47] <jatt> Archoniam: it should be able to convert .tgz to .deb, see the man page
[04:47] <novato_br> im on windows
[04:48] <kitche> francis_: umm why are you using cp instead of cat?
[04:48] <novato_br> i cant run ubuntu, now
[04:48] <ubunut> yay!
[04:48] <yrth> berent, I can't find gift in video settings, and actually all the lines in video settings are commented out. audio, there was ao=alsa, but then there is also ao=sdl:esd that is commented out at the moment. Do you want me to uncomment it and delete that ":esd" bit?
[04:48] <Archoniam> jatt: Okay if it does im in good shape
[04:48] <astro76> Archoniam, you use checkinstall to compile tarballs (.tar.gz) to .debs
[04:48] <stefg> Dark-Magician: can you get it to boot?
[04:48] <Dark-Magician> yes
[04:48] <kitche> francis_: sicne you over rode your /dev/dsp when you cp /dev/random to /dev/dsp
[04:48] <astro76> Archoniam, replacing the make install step with checkinstall
[04:48] <francis_> kitche: , HEP85 cat works
[04:48] <magnetron> !sudo | kefas_
[04:48] <ubotu> kefas_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:48] <Dark-Magician> it loads to X server doesnt find display
[04:49] <stefg> Dark-Magician: so what does not work?
[04:49] <ubuntuEdgy>  kbrooks: how can my / be read only ?
[04:49] <HEP85> kitche: how can it be without root permissions?
[04:49] <kitche> HEP85: just saying
[04:49] <kbrooks> ubuntuEdgy, it is not. only on hard drive errors will it ever be.
[04:49] <stefg> Dark-Magician: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:49] <Cristatus> hello
[04:49] <Dark-Magician> k ill try that
[04:49] <ubuntuEdgy> ok i kind of get it
[04:49] <francis_> aa guys i su'ed
[04:49] <kbrooks> astro76, and erm, checkinstall does not do any compilation.
[04:49] <Cristatus> i'm having troubling start my desktop manager
[04:49] <francis_> so iguess it did cp
[04:49] <kefas_> Ok thank you stop Czech
[04:50] <kbrooks> astro76, so please dont mislead
[04:50] <berent> yrth : leave it
[04:50] <berent> yrth : try with this option on a terminal "gmplayer - vo sdl"
[04:50] <astro76> kbrooks, mislead, I said you replace the make install step with checkinstall
[04:50] <kbrooks> astro76, it learns the files copied, and moves them to a temporary directory
[04:50] <astro76> ?
[04:50] <HEP85> kitche: I thought it would send random noise to the sound output, so that he can test his sound driver from the console. he currently has no x server
[04:50] <kbrooks> astro76, you said it "compiles" tarballs to .debs
[04:51] <yrth> so not to change anything?
[04:51] <kbrooks> astro76, which is not true
[04:51] <yrth> berent
[04:51] <ubuntuEdgy> kbrooks: i hope im safe to remove the "/dev/sad" and leave the uuid
[04:51] <astro76> kbrooks, lol, and then clarified in my next statement
[04:51] <berent> yrth : dont change
[04:51] <Cristatus> is anybody here familiar with runlevels?
[04:51] <berent> yrth : try with this option on a terminal "gmplayer - vo sdl"
[04:51] <kbrooks> ubuntuEdgy, it's only a comment.
[04:52] <stefg> Cristatus: that's pretty simple in ubuntu... it just got runlevels 2 and S
[04:52] <francis_> HEP85: kitche , i just got the nvdia video driver downloaded , will have to pull it off my desk top

[04:54] <Cristatus> i think i screwed around with runlevels when i was trying to set up my nvidia go 6200
[04:54] <yrth> berent, are you asking me about my graphics card?
[04:55] <Nutubuntu> Jerome_,  I don't know the answers but iirc the card was branded "Megaraid" and a google search might turn up the info you need ... maybe ?
[04:55] <bulmer> Cristatus: it meant your X server was not started correctly
