[12:27] <ompaul> Huh1, are you using the gui ?
[12:27] <magus_x> i need a program to run videos with subtitle support
[12:27] <thoreauputic> magus_x: no need to repeat
[12:27] <thoreauputic> magus_x: if someone knows they will answer

[12:27] <thoreauputic> magus_x: also mplayer I think
[12:28] <djohnny79> thoreauputic:  So back again, noiw with a valid domain, how can i setup ez-ipupdate?
[12:28] <reaper> yeah i have knoppix
[12:28] <rsk> magus_x MPlayer
[12:28] <thoreauputic> djohnny79: first register with dyndns.org, then run  sudo dpkg-reconfigure ez-ipupdate
[12:28] <ompaul> reaper, go to #knoppix then - this is not the knoppix channel
[12:28] <Mayhem> reaper: you can install it through knoppix
[12:28] <djohnny79> thoreauputic: r u gonna be here later? just noticed :I GOTTA GO :D
[12:29] <reaper> im not talking about knoppix, i said i have a copy of it
[12:29] <thoreauputic> djohnny79: if you are behind a router it won't work, BTW
[12:29] <Mayhem> exactly geesh
[12:29] <djohnny79> arghs... could have told me before :D
[12:29] <Mayhem> because if you have a look at the link that the bot will give you here
[12:29] <Mayhem> !install
[12:29] <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
[12:29] <reaper> im not too worried, 15 mins and server edition will be done.. then you can help me :D
[12:29] <Zorlac> djohnny79: some routers have dyndns support built in
[12:29] <thoreauputic> djohnny79: I assumed you knew what you were doing :)
[12:29] <reaper> yeah i looked at the link
[12:29] <Mayhem> haha ok
[12:29] <Mayhem> g2g
[12:29] <djohnny79> *lol*
[12:29] <reaper> thanks man
[12:29] <reaper> seya
[12:30] <djohnny79> mmmmh i told i 'm NOOB :D
[12:30] <Assassin5> is there anyway to start off a text installed from an ubuntu CD
[12:30] <Zorlac> Anyone have any idea why ubuntu would lock up on me? often.
[12:30] <thoreauputic> djohnny79: as Zorlac says, a lot of routers have the feature built in
[12:30] <djohnny79> well don't matter, gonna be here later...
[12:30] <ompaul> !bootoptions > Zorlac
[12:30] <Zorlac> !bootoptions
[12:30] <ubotu> For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[12:31] <Huh1> ompaul: gui? no I did that with a simple text editor, gedit
[12:31] <djohnny79> ok gtg cu l8er, sorry
[12:31] <thoreauputic> Zorlac: re: lockup - not enough information :)
[12:31] <Zorlac> thoreauputic: it stops functioning when i look away. screensaver maybe?
[12:31] <thoreauputic> Zorlac: very likely, yes
[12:32] <reaper> Zorlac alot of older pc's can't handle the screensavers, i'd say its a likely possibility
[12:32] <Zorlac> The PC itself isnt that old, the video card is new enough
[12:32] <thoreauputic> Zorlac: gnome-screensver is.. *cough* .. unpredictable - I install xscreensver and disable gnome-screensaver here
[12:32] <reaper> try disabling it and see what happens?
[12:32] <Zorlac> Will do, after this memory test finishes...
[12:33] <Dimensions> hi does one know abt udev ? i am using ubuntu when i plug usb cable for my phone it loads it with ohci_hcd but not to any port then i have to create ttyACM0 manually how can i assign it permanently to be loaded when ever i plug cable ?
[12:33] <SirKillalot> is there any way to use the fat drivers for windows under linux?
[12:33] <ompaul> Zorlac, if you see !factoid> username it means the bot has been asked to tell a user something check your private messages
[12:33] <thoreauputic> Zorlac: gnome-screensaver breaks the suspend function on my laptop - xscreensaver works fine
[12:33] <Zorlac> ompaul: oh, i got a pm...
[12:33] <ompaul> Huh1, I will rephrase my question, are you using the gui?
[12:34] <kryptoz> i have a doubt with squid. have  a cache proxy Squid running. for the lan. need to access a virtual server via browser which is running on port 911. How do i allow access to this port for the proxu
[12:34] <Huh1> ompaul: which gui?
[12:34] <kryptoz> right now i am getting errors saying "access denied"
[12:34] <ompaul> Huh1, ubuntu or are you using a server?
[12:34] <Huh1> ompaul: ah ok, ubuntu, gnome
[12:34] <ompaul> Huh1, in other words have you a gui for a desktop
[12:34] <Huh1> ompaul: i thought you were maybe talking about some crontab gui or stuff
[12:35] <thoreauputic> SirKillalot: erm - Linux supports fat out of the box - what do you mean?
[12:35] <SirKillalot> thoreauputic, the vfat driver has problems with my ipod, therefore I would like to try the windows drivers if possible
[12:35] <ompaul> Huh1, okay so if you right click on the clock on the top right hand side and choose: time and date settings you can get ntp to work
[12:35] <thoreauputic> SirKillalot: ahh - well I don't know then, sorry
[12:36] <Huh1> ntp works if I run  it manually
[12:36] <ompaul> Huh1, and I am telling you how to set it up so it works all day every day  ;-)
[12:36] <thoreauputic> SirKillalot: a lot of people seem to be able to use the ipod though - I assume you googled ?
[12:36] <Huh1> ompaul:  ok where can I enable it? which option is it?
[12:37] <SirKillalot> thoreauputic, I google for months now ;)
[12:37] <SirKillalot> witout break or sleep
[12:37] <thoreauputic> Huh1: he just tod you :)
[12:37] <SirKillalot> +h
[12:37] <thoreauputic> *told
[12:37] <ompaul> Huh1, "arrrrrrr sound of hair being pulled out ;-)" .. right click on the clock and Choose "Time And Date SettingS"
[12:37] <Huh1> ompaul:  there is no option concerning ntp in that dialog
[12:38] <thoreauputic> Huh1: yes there is
[12:38] <ompaul> Huh1, I use it
[12:38] <Huh1> periodically synchronise with servers? won't work
[12:38] <ompaul> does
[12:38] <Huh1> no
[12:38] <thoreauputic> Huh1: yes it does
[12:38] <ompaul> it has to install npt
[12:38] <ompaul> ntpdate even
[12:38] <Huh1> ntp is installed
[12:38] <thoreauputic> Huh1: *cough* pay attention
[12:39] <ompaul> Huh1, it works and has done for a while, ohh about two years
[12:39] <thoreauputic> Huh1: ntpdate is not the same as the ntp daemon
[12:39] <Huh1> I know.
[12:39] <ompaul> Huh1, I am an addict for it
[12:39] <thoreauputic> Huh1: then why do you suppose this works for everyone except you?
[12:39] <Flannel> thoreauputic: doesn't work automatically for me, either
[12:40] <Huh1> But why would I try to make things complicated if the easy way would work? although I have chosen different servers as well as I enabled the periodical sync my clock won't be refreshed ever
[12:40] <Flannel> just, for the record ;)
[12:40] <livingdaylight> ompaul: do you do alot of om meditation?
[12:40] <Dimensions> how do i create a port permanently
[12:40] <Dimensions> ?
[12:40] <thoreauputic> Huh1: maybe your router does the ntp thing and you need to point it at the router?
[12:41] <Huh1> hmmm?
[12:41] <thoreauputic> Huh1: some routers relay ntp
[12:41] <Huh1> well
[12:41] <ompaul> Huh1, try this, point it to pool.ntp.org rather than de
[12:41] <NET||abuse> hmm, this command isn't quite workin right for me, ip ro add default <IP_ADDRESS> via eth0
[12:41] <Huh1> thing is it does not even run the command.
[12:41] <ompaul> Huh1, it will find you remember the protocol dictates find the nearest one
[12:42] <NET||abuse> what am i doin wrong?
[12:42] <thoreauputic> Huh1: if the daemon is running, ntpdate will fail ( socket in use)
[12:42] <Huh1> ompaul:  it's not even executing the command. cos then I would have offsets of exact hours... but not like hours and 43 minutes.
[12:43] <thoreauputic> Dimensions: what are you actually trying to do?
[12:44] <ompaul> Huh1,  what version of the kernel and of ubuntu are you running
[12:45] <batara> anybody play mov file with vlc?
[12:45] <Dimensions> thoreauputic:  i am using gprs modem of my phone when i plug the usb cable it loads with ohci_hcd but doesn't assign any port then i make ttyACM0 each time manually in /dev which is gone on reboot ... so i want to make it permanently be there ...
[12:45] <thoreauputic> Dimensions: I think you migth need to write a udev rule
[12:46] <thoreauputic> Dimensions: http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
[12:46] <ompaul> Dimensions, I suggest you take that to this mailing list: ubuntu-users which you can find on lists.ubuntu.com
[12:47] <thoreauputic> good adbice from ompaul ;)
[12:47] <ompaul> thoreauputic, you have better urls than I have :-(
[12:47] <thoreauputic> ompaul: heh
[12:47] <spike> hi there
[12:47] <thoreauputic> bad spelling from thoreauputic
[12:47] <spike> anybody running dapper + fluxbox + composite
[12:47] <thoreauputic> s/abdice/advice
[12:47] <spike> with latest of everything I cant get compmgr to work
[12:48] <thoreauputic> spike: two out of three ( no composite)
[12:48] <spike> :(
[12:48] <ompaul> spike, is composite like the xgl stuff?
[12:48] <thoreauputic> yes
[12:48] <ompaul> compiz?
[12:48] <Huh1> ompaul:  the newest.
[12:48] <spike> thoreauputic: I need to shade unused windows cause I got too many terms and it's hard to see the current one
[12:48] <_kalm> hey can anyone help me with ubuntu (dapper) wpa wifi problem? how can i get it to work?
[12:48] <ompaul> spike, #ubuntu-xgl is usually the best place for that one
[12:48] <spike> composite isnt xgl
[12:49] <CromagDK> uhm a quicky; how do i debug firefox ? it starts crashing when i open it now hehe
[12:49] <spike> compiz is a wm
[12:49] <Huh1> ompaul: thanks for your help, but I gotta go
[12:49] <Huh1> see you
[12:49] <thoreauputic> spike: I tab my terms in fluxbox...
[12:49] <thoreauputic> spike: but I know nothing about compiz, sorry
[12:50] <spike> thoreauputic: I do only for specific groups, and I run bordless most of the times, got a lots of terms and that saves space
[12:50] <spike> np
[12:50] <_kalm> Ubuntu Dapper wireless WPA problem?
[12:50] <tombo> How do I _reinstall_ selfcompiled packages?
[12:50] <ompaul> spike, sorry is that composite != compiz  (I'm getting confused, and as you know that is not too hard for me to do ;-))
[12:50] <spike> apparently nobody wont... #xorg refuses to help cause I run #nvidia, #nvidia knows almost nothing about composite, and xgl isnt the case
[12:50] <thoreauputic> tombo: did you use checkinstall ?
[12:50] <spike> ompaul: yes, one is a wm, one an xorg extension
[12:51] <orbin> CromagDK: could try runnig it from terminal
[12:51] <spike> ompaul: compiz is a wm using xgl
[12:51] <spike> ompaul: http://principe.homelinux.net/
[12:51] <spike> very good intro
[12:51] <ompaul> spike, there is one guy who loves getting his fingers dirty with lots of that, DBO find him in #ubuntu-xgl and other places like offtopic and here give him a few hours
[12:52] <CromagDK> orbin: just did yes, give me segmetation fault
[12:52] <thoreauputic> tombo: if you made a deb package, you just use the usual apt/dpkg tools
[12:52] <CromagDK> and cant browse for solving heheh
[12:52] <ompaul> spike, that is he likes using them all and working out how they work
[12:52] <spike> ompaul: will try...
[12:53] <CromagDK> !opera
[12:53] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[12:53] <Zorlac> I think i found an 'error' in ubuntus automaticly configuration of grub.
[12:54] <ompaul> Zorlac, check out launchpad.net and see if it is a bug there, report it if it is not
[12:55] <_kalm> !wpa
[12:55] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:55] <Zorlac> Well, i'm pretty sure that ubuntu automaticly assumed that my windows partiton was hd0,0, when it was hd3,0
[12:55] <_kalm> hm the only one able to answer my question was the bot 0_o keep it up ppl
[12:56] <Zorlac> Right on it kalm.
[12:56] <Schalken> am i the only one who can't login to msn with gaim anymore?
[12:56] <tombo>  thoreauputic: How do I _reinstall_ selfcompiled packages then? (;
[12:56] <Schalken> meebo works, but not gaim???
[12:57] <Zorlac> ompaul: i think the bot just does the googling for him
[12:57] <thoreauputic> tombo: if it's a deb package, sudo apt-get install --reinstall <name-of-your-package>
[12:58] <ompaul> Zorlac, I was being sarcastic - I edit factoids in it - one can only deal with so many questions before one gets tired
[12:58] <Zorlac> Yeah, i knew that >_>
[12:58] <thoreauputic> tombo: if it isn;t a package, and you used "make install" , you either look for a "make uninstall" option or you clean up the mess in /usr/local or wherever you put it
[12:58] <Dimensions> thoreauputic: where i can find rc.local ?
[12:58] <thoreauputic> Dimensions: in /etc/
[12:59] <Dimensions> thanks bro
[12:59] <thoreauputic> :)
[12:59] <Dimensions> :P
[12:59] <pennypacker> !bro
[12:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bro - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:01] <tombo> thoreauputic: apt-get install --reinstall <name-of-my-package>, takes the remote binaries not my local ones, doesn't it?
[01:01] <Zorlac> I'm still getting grub error 21 =[
[01:01] <Schalken> !why does meebo connect to msn but not gaim???
[01:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about why does meebo connect to msn but not gaim??? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:01] <thoreauputic> tombo: depends how you versioned your package
[01:01] <Schalken> :(
[01:01] <Dimensions> awww Schalken poor buddy
[01:01] <Schalken> lol
[01:01] <Dimensions> **Grins**
[01:02] <Zorlac> Schalken: becuase gaim isn't a service, its a program?
[01:02] <thoreauputic> tombo: if the version is wrong, use the specific package names with apt or dpkg
[01:02] <Schalken> i mean giam doesn't connect to msn
[01:02] <Schalken> gaim*
[01:02] <Zorlac> gaim doesn't connect to msn becuase its borked.
[01:03] <Schalken> Zorlac: it was working yesterday
[01:03] <Zorlac> Oh, its just never worked for me
[01:03] <Dimensions> Schalken: i am using msn messenger via gaim ...
[01:03] <Dimensions> its working
[01:03] <Schalken> Dimensions: Gaim says the MSN server is down
[01:03] <Schalken> but it obviously isnt
[01:03] <calman> Mine MSN is also down
[01:04] <Schalken> calman: did it work before?
[01:04] <calman> yeah sure did... been down for the last 2-3 hours
[01:04] <ablyss> mines working
[01:04] <Zorlac> Note to all: Ubuntu does not install on some SATA drives.
[01:04] <Schalken> hmm
[01:04] <Schalken> Zorlac: worked on mine
[01:04] <Garsty> what program can I use to upload and browse files in ftp servers?
[01:04] <JosefK> Zorlac: tell your SATA controller to treat the drives as IDE
[01:04] <Schalken> Garsty: Gftp works
[01:04] <Zorlac> Schalken: with asus promise controlers
[01:05] <Zorlac> JosefK: and how may i do that
[01:05] <thoreauputic> Zorlac: tried booting the installer with acpi=off ?
[01:05] <Dimensions> guess what Schalken i just got connected to messenger with gaim
[01:05] <Schalken> Garsty: so does Nautilus ;)
[01:05] <Garsty> cool
[01:05] <Garsty> I'll try them
[01:05] <ablyss> Garsty, the built in ftp shell client works too
[01:05] <JosefK> Zorlac: try acpi=off first, usually it'll be in system BIOS or in the controller's BIOS
[01:05] <Zorlac> thoreauputic: i don't think that'll help
[01:05] <Schalken> Garsty: nautilus is the file browser
[01:05] <Garsty> ablyss how to open that builtin shell?
[01:05] <Garsty> how is it called?
[01:05] <tombo> thoreauputic: I have the binaries on the disk. How do I reinstall them without removing first, because this causes trouble. I think the versions are ok.
[01:05] <Zorlac> why would acpi work?
[01:06] <thoreauputic> Zorlac: *cough* did you even try?
[01:06] <ablyss> Garsty, terminal
[01:06] <Schalken> Garsty: open your home folder or whatever, then do Ctrl+L and type ftp://blahblahblah
[01:06] <JosefK> Zorlac: I had a similar problem here, so I just set it to treat them as seperate IDE drives and do raid using LVM
[01:06] <Zorlac> mm, i'll try
[01:06] <ablyss> Schalken, i didn't think nautilus could upload files
[01:06] <thoreauputic> tombo: how can you reinstall without removing? i don't follow you
[01:06] <Schalken> ablyss: works here, uploading to a mate's server
[01:06] <ablyss> Schalken, neat :)
[01:07] <Schalken> ablyss: with nautilus
[01:07] <lupine_85> apt-get install --reinstall ?
[01:07] <Garsty> thanks
[01:07] <Zorlac> it seems my problem is documented already anyways: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/8978
[01:07] <hs_125> ls
[01:08] <JosefK> Zorlac: if that's the problem, try using expert mode and install GRUB to the first partition instead of the MBR
[01:08] <JosefK> *first bootable
[01:08] <Schalken> can anyone give me a reason why Gaim would spontaneously/abruptly stop working with MSN?
[01:08] <Zorlac> JosefK: i think i'm going to take the noob route and just swap data around so that my only ata drive is bootable
[01:08] <Zorlac> thanks though
[01:08] <tombo> thoreauputic: apt-get install --reinstall works, meanwhile apt-get remove says "broken".
[01:10] <lupine_85> just stick /boot onto the ATA drive - that should do the trick
[01:10] <lupine_85> Schalken: upgrades to MSN
[01:10] <Schalken> lupine_85: that prevent gaim from connecting to it?
[01:10] <lupine_85> (e.g. the MSN->Windows Live one recently)
[01:10] <lupine_85> it did for me on an old version of Kopete
[01:11] <lupine_85> upgraded, and was back to normal
[01:11] <Schalken> lupine_85: how come it works for everyone else then?
[01:11] <lupine_85> might have just been coincidence though
[01:11] <DarkMageZ> Schalken, you are not alone
[01:11] <Schalken> hmm
[01:11] <calman> It was actually broken for me when I was on xp before
[01:12] <DarkMageZ> Schalken, if gaim supports connecting via http, then do it
[01:12] <lupine_85> anyone know if it's physically possible to RAID 20 hard drives together? ;)
[01:12] <rsk> lupine_85 yes
[01:12] <fourat> is there any tutorial on how to install Macromedia dreamweaver on Ubuntu ? or any other windows desktop applications ?
[01:12] <Schalken> DarkMageZ: trying...
[01:12] <DarkMageZ> Schalken, msn is being racist against australians
[01:12] <mtholdenss> howcome when i launch something from the panel say the recycle bin or firefox it make some weird transition but when i open it from desktop or app menu its fine?
[01:13] <rsk> fourat appdb.winehq.org
[01:13] <Schalken> DarkMageZ: whoo the HTTP did it!
[01:13] <Garsty> what can I do about error "/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2ud_core-2.6.so.0: version `WXUD_2.6.2' not found"? I'm trying to run a wxwidgets sample program in KDevelop. It seems to compile without errors, but can't run.
[01:13] <lupine_85> cor
[01:13] <DarkMageZ> Schalken, people can connect if they are using isp's who aren't tagged as australia or if they vpn into servers elsewhere
[01:13] <lupine_85> 1.6TB hard drive for 520
[01:14] <Schalken> DarkMageZ: why did it only just start today and why only me
[01:14] <lupine_85> Garsty: what version of wxwindows have you got installed in your computer?
[01:14] <DarkMageZ> Schalken, only australians sofar...
[01:14] <lupine_85> !wxwindows
[01:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wxwindows - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:14] <tombo> thoreauputic: did something like dpkg -i ../exim4-daemon-light_4.52-1ubuntu0.1_i386.deb and state something like "replace", I will see, thanks for helping.
[01:14] <Garsty> I believe it is 2.6.3
[01:14] <Garsty> at least wxconfig says that
[01:14] <mtholdenss> or is that normal?
[01:14] <Schalken> DarkMageZ: but i have aussie mates who are on no worries
[01:14] <lupine_85> there you go - you're compiling against 2.6.2
[01:14] <DarkMageZ> Schalken, tell them to relogon :P
[01:14] <lupine_85> so downgrade wxWindows or upgrade your header files
[01:14] <Garsty> how do I fix it?
[01:14] <lupine_85> ^ ^
[01:14] <J_P> hi all
[01:15] <Garsty> btw, it's wxWidgets now :P
[01:15] <lupine_85> ah, so it is :)
[01:15] <Schalken> DarkMageZ: lol nah i think ill just be ignorant for the moment
[01:16] <thoreauputic> " The msn blah blah are temporarily unavailable... " ( from .au)
[01:16] <DarkMageZ> Schalken, i'd really like to know why it's not working tho... but it honestly does appear to be only australians affected
[01:17] <thoreauputic> use jabber ;P
[01:17] <Schalken> mmm

[01:25] <aes52> guys I want to install ubuntu + lvm on a physical partition, should I just use the livecd, make the logical volume(s) i want, then run the installer?
[01:26] <sladen> adam: most likely something is download and clogging up your internet connection
[01:26] <tortho> SonyEricsson P990 won't connect to dapper, need help, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23045
[01:26] <sladen> adam: eg. the daily automatic updates doing a check, or Bittorrent running
[01:27] <xipietotec> does anyone know a program for ubuntu that will read the contents of an .exe the way winrar will show them as a package?
[01:27] <seth1248> Can anyone tell me why I get the error: "Can't find file "ledcaps" for compat include" in /var/log/gdm/:0.log?
[01:27] <xipietotec> I'm trying to get Testgen installed as a damn plugin, but the installer is windowz based.
[01:28] <xipietotec> damn math class software
[01:28] <xipietotec> no linux or mac support.
[01:30] <Schalken> xipietotec: hahaha i feel ur pain
[01:31] <tortho> Got a IO error on 2GB memory card.. how can i get more info... it is working, and no faults found under windows XP
[01:31] <xipietotec> Fuckers, first they package my textbooks with "access code" crap for software that the teacher REQUIRES, and then it only works on windows.
[01:32] <xipietotec> Supposedly this plugin is firefox compatible...but only if I can get the damn .exe file open and extract the files manually
[01:33] <erUSUL> !language
[01:33] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:34] <xipietotec> I wasn't aware that "damn" (an admonishment) was considered "harsh language".
[01:34] <D347h> you also said "Fuckers"
[01:34] <Schalken> xipietotec: you know what you said.
[01:35] <xipietotec> Oh, so I did
[01:35] <xipietotec> nevermind, I appologize
[01:35] <xipietotec> ^ looked up and read further
[01:35] <xipietotec> sorry, just frustrated.
[01:35] <D347h> you can use wine or vmware server
[01:36] <xipietotec> Wine doesn't load it correctly
[01:36] <Schalken> xipietotec: we are all angry at microsoft, its okay.
[01:36] <aes52> do any of you have experience with lvm + ubuntu?
[01:36] <D347h> yesterday i installed vmware and then installed xp on it
[01:36] <D347h> :)
[01:36] <tortho> try qemu as well if you like to run xp..
[01:36] <D347h> it went through very smoooth
[01:37] <xipietotec> Actually I'm just angry at my school. Look, it's not an online class, if your software is only compatible with one OS, it should be optional
[01:37] <Schalken> D347h: vmware isnt appropriate fro games though is it?
[01:37] <Schalken> for*
[01:37] <D347h> well im quite a noob in linux
[01:38] <D347h> and i was scared that xp will be very slow in vmware
[01:38] <triplc> hello everybody
[01:38] <D347h> but it is quite usable
[01:38] <Schalken> D347h: does vmware require a seperate partition to isntall Windows on, or does it store windows in the Ubuntu partition?
[01:38] <D347h> no
[01:38] <tortho> have a look on this one: http://maconstuff.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-to-run-windows-xp-under-ubuntu.html
[01:39] <D347h> yes it stores windows in ubuntu partition
[01:39] <D347h> lemme give you a very fine howto
[01:39] <D347h> to install vmware server
[01:39] <D347h> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_vmware_server
[01:39] <Schalken> the problem is all I use windows for is games so if it doesnt deliver enough power for games its no good to me
[01:40] <triplc> please help me, i've break my system: i include both dapper and edgy to the /etc/apt/sources.list, then set the priority of edgy to 100, dapper to 900, then run : "apt-get -t edgy install bluefish"... then now the X server failed to started. When i run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" (in hope it can fix the issue) it say that the local setting are wrong. Running "dpkg-reconfigure locales" does not work either.
[01:41] <xipietotec> hrmm...thanks tortho, I'm going to try that
[01:41] <triplc> (my system is intel dual core, i use amd64 image)
[01:41] <triplc> (amd64 arch)
[01:42] <tortho> xipietotec: i did run it with edgy under dapper :-) Just installed a dapper under qemu, and edites sources.... and updated :-) with the module as described on the qemu page it is "quite fast"
[01:43] <xipietotec> tortho: Actually I need an install of XP so I can use this stupid proprietary math program
[01:43] <D347h> Schalken: you can use Cedega
[01:43] <D347h> but it is not free :(
[01:43] <Schalken> D347h: but that only sometimes works and still doesn't give me all the power i need
[01:44] <tortho> xipietotec: make the image 4.3 gb so you can copy/backup it to a dvd..... just a hint..
[01:44] <Schalken> triplc: the two times I broke my system by getting packages from edgy I had to reinstall :O. The lesson i learnt was always install development versions in a seperate partition.
[01:45] <D347h> Then try to setup vmware
[01:46] <tortho> triplc:  as you can see int my last comments, i did run edgy under dapperr with qemu.. then you don't breake..
[01:46] <Schalken> D347h: was that to me?
[01:46] <triplc> schalken: uh oh!!!! i want the new feature of bluefish, which only have in the latest version
[01:46] <D347h> yeah
[01:46] <Schalken> triplc: best try to get a dapper package then.
[01:47] <Schalken> D347h: will that be faster than Cedega?
[01:47] <D347h> i dont know but you can try
[01:47] <triplc> schalken: i hope that the problem is not serious.. i think locales is something can be fixed. it's only that i only know dpkg-reconfigure.... i hope that you or someone can provide another way to make it fix.
[01:47] <xipietotec> tortho: Nah, I really only need XP on this computer for exactly 1 thing. So I want the smallest install possible. I'm going to use a slipstreamer to remove as much as possible from it
[01:47] <Schalken> D347h: whats the difference between that a qemu?
[01:48] <tortho> someone with good filesystem knowledge here now? io error on a 2gb memory card connected through usb needs some help :-) works under winxp..
[01:48] <D347h> both are pretty mush same thing
[01:48] <Schalken> triplc: sorry, but my solution is always 'backup, whipe, install', always has been with Windows ;)
[01:48] <D347h> but it will be easier to install vmware
[01:49] <Schalken> D347h: does either give more power than the other?
[01:49] <bouter> hi
[01:49] <Schalken> hello
[01:49] <D347h> Schalken:i have only tried vmware so i dont know
[01:50] <bouter> I seem to have a little problem with my wireless card
[01:50] <tortho> a quick google gives this abou VM and other... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines
[01:50] <seth1248> Can anyone help me? I get the error: "Can't find file "ledcaps" for compat include" in /var/log/gdm/:0.log .
[01:50] <devilz> how i enable Direct Rendering
[01:50] <devilz> ?
[01:51] <bvanaerde> devilz: that depends on your graphics card
[01:51] <devilz> ati
[01:51] <devilz> 9550
[01:51] <bvanaerde> if the drivers are installed properly, and your card supports direct rendering, it should be enabled
[01:52] <bouter> I have an MSI notebook    my wireless card (onboard) is an Intel PRO2200BG, I have wifiradar installed and I can see all the wireless networks available
[01:52] <bouter> but I can' t seem to connect to then
[01:52] <bouter> tehem
[01:52] <bouter> I also have the network  icon near my clock
[01:53] <bouter> and normally I can choose which netork acitivity I wan' t to see
[01:53] <bvanaerde> devilz: what does it say when you type "fglrxinfo" in the terminal? (without the quotes)
[01:53] <bouter> but the eth1 interface is not available
[01:53] <hs_125> bouter,  r u using dhcp?....or any wep password?
[01:54] <bouter> dhcp yes   wep  yes    and the key is correct
[01:54] <aes52> Does UBUNTU installer support LVM devices?
[01:54] <firenx> can anyone recommend a good bittorrent client?
[01:54] <firenx> anything like utorrent for win32? heh
[01:54] <aes52> ktorrent firenx?
[01:54] <hs_125> bouter : does it obtained ip adress?
[01:54] <xipietotec> why the hell doesn't wlassistant have a hexidecimal option?
[01:54] <bouter> no I can' t seem to obtain an address
[01:54] <firenx> oh yeah ktorrent i remember trying that a while back.. i'll have a look at it thanks
[01:55] <aes52> np
[01:55] <xipietotec> I have a ton of problems with dhcp in any event
[01:55] <bouter> when I click connect   the programs goes      accuiring IP.... Done
[01:55] <aes52> it's a kde app btw Filbert
[01:55] <aes52> firenx even
[01:55] <xipietotec> it works sometimes...and then doesn't
[01:55] <bouter> but it just ain' t working
[01:55] <hs_125> bouter, ifconfig says what/
[01:55] <xipietotec> I usually have to ifdown ifup a few times to connect to unpassworded wifi connections
[01:56] <firenx> yeah i know its a kde app.. nothin for gtk tho eh
[01:56] <xipietotec> wlassistant won't log into my own wifi network at home at all. (128bit wep, hex, and mac address)
[01:56] <bouter> eth1  is not pressent in ifconfig
[01:56] <D347h> Schalken: this guys have posted his experience on his blog about Qemu vs Vmware and he says that vmware is little bit faster :- http://blog-old.vojta.name/archives/cat_2.html
[01:56] <bouter> it doesnt even show in ifconfig      but yet I can see all the wireless networks...
[01:56] <Schalken> D347h: thanks man
[01:57] <D347h>  :)
[01:57] <hs_125> r u using eth1 for wireless?...then do one thing go to vi /etc/network/interface and edit it
[01:57] <bouter> sometimes when he wants to   the eth1 interface is available
[01:57] <bouter> sometimes I can connect to the network   but no networkactivity
[01:58] <devilz> bvanaerde, still here?
[01:58] <bouter> and most of the time it' s not available at all
[01:58] <bvanaerde> devilz: yup
[01:58] <bvanaerde> was waiting for your answer
[01:58] <devilz> bvanaerde, its says something about mesa
[01:58] <devilz> opengl
[01:58] <bvanaerde> oh ok
[01:58] <firenx> oh one more question, how can i show the link to my home folder and to computer on the desktop? is that in gconf?
[01:58] <xipietotec> bouter: Here's something that happens to me, I have to ifconfig wlan0, which after it configures becomes eth1.
[01:58] <bvanaerde> when you see mesa, that means fglrx isn't configured right
[01:58] <hs_125> bouter, is it external card o builtin card?
[01:58] <bvanaerde> or not installed at all
[01:59] <bouter> builtin card
[01:59] <devilz> bvanaerde, can you help me fix that
[01:59] <xipietotec> and then I ifdown ifup eth1
[01:59] <bouter> msi s260 is my notbook
[01:59] <bvanaerde> wait up
[01:59] <hs_125> bouter,  card is of which made?
[01:59] <devilz> ok
[01:59] <xipietotec> if if dhcp doesn't auto connect I iwlist eth1.
[01:59] <xipietotec> then try again with wlassistant or the default network manager
[02:00] <xipietotec> nm-gnome doesn't work at all really
[02:00] <bvanaerde> devilz: you should follow this guide (method 1)
[02:00] <bvanaerde> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide
[02:00] <bvanaerde> it worked for me, I've got an ati 9700
[02:00] <bouter> card is     intell pro 2200bg
[02:00] <thoreauputic> nm-applet only works if you disable interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces ( except for lo)
[02:01] <FloK> hi. Where do i set the locale settings pls?
[02:01] <bouter> if I do ifconfig now       the eth1  shows
[02:03] <bouter> I 'm thinking it' s a bug
[02:03] <devilz> bvanaerde, check this
[02:03] <devilz> desktop:~$ sudo aticonfig --initial
[02:03] <devilz> Found fglrx primary device section
[02:03] <devilz> Nothing to do, terminating.
[02:04] <bvanaerde> did you enable the "restricted" repository in your sources list?
[02:05] <bvanaerde> maybe you already did this command...
[02:05] <bvanaerde> then it's normal you're seeing this message
[02:06] <bvanaerde> just do the rest, reboot, and see if you don't get "mesa" anymore with fglrxinfo
[02:06] <devilz> bvanaerde, i did enable
[02:06] <bvanaerde> k
[02:06] <devilz> i will go reboot
[02:06] <devilz> brb
[02:06] <lupine_85> bouter: if the module(driver) is working, you'll get your interface (eth1) showing. do you have an assigned IP address?
[02:11] <devilz> bvanaerde, still mesa
[02:11] <devilz> :(
[02:11] <bvanaerde> hmm that's weird
[02:12] <bouter> linux and wireless... always trouble
[02:12] <bvanaerde> check the xorg.conf and see if every "ati" is replaced by "fglrx" in the Device section
[02:13] <devilz> Driver      "ati"
[02:13] <devilz> still ati
[02:13] <devilz> ehh
[02:14] <devilz> no i have 2 sections
[02:14] <devilz> of device
[02:14] <devilz> in one its ati and other its fglrx
[02:16] <_kalm> can anyone point a "HowTo" for a wireless (WPA encryption) for Ubuntu? please
[02:16] <bvanaerde> devilz: replace them both to ati
[02:16] <bvanaerde> umm no
[02:16] <bvanaerde> fglrx, sorry
[02:16] <bvanaerde> :)
[02:16] <devilz> k
[02:16] <_kalm> !wpa
[02:16] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:16] <_kalm> !wireless
[02:17] <devilz> bvanaerde, done, now i reboot?
[02:17] <bvanaerde> yea
[02:17] <devilz> ok. brb
[02:18] <D347h> Hey guys does anyone here have a link to some good howto for garnome
[02:19] <_kalm> wow these ubuntu irc servers have really gone for worse... last time i used this i got help immediately but now everyone ignores 0_o
[02:19] <zappe> D347h, http://www.google.se/search?q=howto++garnome
[02:19] <_kalm> is ubuntu's user network falling?
[02:20] <zappe> _kalm, what's your problem?
[02:20] <_kalm> nothing.. the BOT helped me
[02:20] <lupine_85> lol
[02:20] <lupine_85> !volunteers
[02:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about volunteers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:20] <bvanaerde> :)
[02:20] <lupine_85> bah
[02:21] <zappe> why do you complain then?
[02:21] <greg_zx> wow shit
[02:21] <greg_zx> and i was wondering if ubuntu had an irc channel
[02:21] <D347h> zappe: thanks zappe but results are for debian and other OS's  and im really scared cuz last time i tried to compile something (kernel) i totally screwed up my system
[02:21] <greg_zx> this place is huge!
[02:21] <lupine_85> lol
[02:22] <_kalm> because no one answered? im having trouble setting up my Ubuntu for my Wireless network ( with WPA encryption )
[02:22] <moynihan> anyone here running ubuntu serverside?
[02:22] <kryptoz> _kalm, i also had the same trouble
[02:22] <Ivanowitch> Hi. Are there anyone who know anything about Cisco VPN?
[02:22] <moynihan> I'm havin an issue with my server seeing the outside world
[02:23] <thoreauputic> _kalm: uually when no-one answers it's either because 1) your question lacked detail or precision or 2) no-one currently here knows
[02:23] <lupine_85> _kalm: we don't get paid for this you know :)
[02:23] <moynihan> pinging fine from outside and the /etc/network/interface is all fine
[02:23] <zappe> D347h, you may wanna ask on garnome's irc.. Server: irc.gnome.org Channel: #garnome
[02:23] <lupine_85> moyniham: do you have a default route set?
[02:24] <D347h> zappe:thanks man :)
[02:24] <moynihan> I thought interface handled that on linux?
[02:24] <lupine_85> sometimes it does
[02:24] <_kalm> but the last time i tried to get it up and running ( i used wep encryption tho its wpa ) and it started hanging
[02:24] <zappe> D347h, np.. or check their site http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/
[02:24] <lupine_85> sometimes it doesn't
[02:24] <moynihan> so i need amn etc/defaultrouter like on solaris?
[02:24] <lupine_85> ip route show will tell you
[02:25] <lupine_85> moyniham: no. the gateway line in /etc/network/interfaces does it
[02:25] <lupine_85> e.g. iface rausb0 inet static \10\13 gateway <IP_ADDRESS> (for me)
[02:25] <moynihan> right you are
[02:25] <_kalm> if my wireless adapter (Belkin Wireless G+ MIMO PCMCIA) happened to be connected my whole system "crashed" or "froze"
[02:25] <thoreauputic> _kalm: 1) Some drivers don't support wpa 2) the wiki info on wireless is pretty good
[02:25] <moynihan> that is giving me a different gateway than in interface
[02:26] <_kalm> ah, ill try it YET AGAIN... maybe different "howtos" work better
[02:26] <kryptoz> I used my live cd and it detected the network cards but doesn't get an ip
[02:26] <lupine_85> ip route del default (if it's there); ip route add default via blah dev blah will do the trick tehn :)
[02:26] <kryptoz> oh well the wireless connection tried to get the ip from dhcp and it never stops
[02:27] <thoreauputic> don't you just love it when people complain about volunteer support?
[02:27] <lupine_85> indeed :)
[02:27] <lupine_85> ah
[02:27] <lupine_85> !patience
[02:27] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines

[02:27] <Cwiiis> Hi - does anyone know of any repository I could use in Ubuntu dapper that has a later/latest version of Ekiga?
[02:27] <thoreauputic> *shrug*
[02:28] <devilz> bvanaerde, still not working
[02:29] <lupine_85> Cwiiis: 2.0 is the latest version AFAICT
[02:29] <lupine_85> !ekiga
[02:29] <ubotu> ekiga: Free Your Speech. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.1-0ubuntu6 (dapper), package size 3572 kB, installed size 12188 kB
[02:29] <thoreauputic> Cwiiis: I guess you could roll your own, if that's an option - I don't think backports has a later version - there may be 3rd party repos I don't know about
[02:29] <lupine_85> suppose you could d/l and compile the latest CVS build...
[02:29] <thoreauputic> right
[02:29] <Cwiiis> lupine_85: I'm having problems and being told to upgrade to 2.0.3 in #ekiga on GimpNet
[02:29] <D347h> zappe:thanks again
[02:30] <zappe> np
[02:30] <Cwiiis> I'd build the edgy debs, but dpkg has changed so much, last time I tried that it was nigh-on impossible
[02:30] <SVisor> OT: Anyone know whats wrong with MSN. Gaim is not able to connect.
[02:30] <lupine_85> Cwiis: http://snapshots.seconix.com/index.php maybe?
[02:30] <thoreauputic> SVisor: in australia, i get a "tempoerarily unavailable" message
[02:30] <bvanaerde> devilz: did you try other tutorials before asking here?
[02:30] <moynihan> hmm
[02:30] <lupine_85> (linked to from the ekiga site - no idea whether it works or not)
[02:31] <Cwiiis> lupine_85: Oh neat, thanks :) I managed to miss that somehow...
[02:31] <thoreauputic> SVisor: some people are saying it's an .au problem only
[02:31] <devilz> bvanaerde, yes
[02:31] <devilz> i tried everything thats why i came here
[02:31] <SVisor> thoreauputic: Well then its nothing on my side. As I get the same error from .se
[02:31] <moynihan> changed over the gateway with ip route but that doesnt seem to have helped
[02:31] <thoreauputic> SVisor: ah, OK then it's not just .au ...
[02:32] <lupine_85> sudo ip route? :)
[02:32] <bvanaerde> devilz: I found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=239229&page=3
[02:32] <thoreauputic> SVisor: maybe they changed the protocol yet again
[02:32] <bvanaerde> scroll down to Dropknee's reply with "ok problem solved..."
[02:32] <squarepusher> why does my motd print twice??
[02:32] <thoreauputic> SVisor: this is why I never rely on MSN
[02:32] <bvanaerde> he seems to have the same problem
[02:33] <squarepusher> only when I ssh, it seems, my /etc/motd prints out twice...
[02:33] <moynihan> i'm consoled in as root
[02:33] <lupine_85> ah
[02:33] <thoreauputic> squarepusher: on your Ubuntu box? Are you logging in remotely? do you have an /etc/issue.net ?

[02:33] <lupine_85> hmm. I can't really think of anything else it could be, if you can contact it from the outside world

[02:36] <bvanaerde> msn seems to be down for some
[02:36] <bvanaerde> not here though
[02:36] <Dimensions> Is it possible to make a script which disconnects wvdial
[02:36] <chf> under option use "http method"
[02:37] <devilz> bvanaerde, so i guess everything works ok but its not :(
[02:37] <lupine_85> Dimensions: poff ?

[02:37] <Hyakutaro> hello I really need some help, as X fails to start... I am trying to edit a file in vim since gedit doesn't work here
[02:37] <Dimensions> lupine_85: noramlly we disconnect wvdial with ctr+c ...
[02:37] <bvanaerde> do you still see mesa with fglrxinfo?
[02:38] <devilz> bvanaerde, yes
[02:38] <Hyakutaro> I just need to delete one line and my problem will be fixed, however I don't know how to save the file in vim
[02:38] <thoreauputic> Hyakutaro:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:38] <squarepusher> Hyakutaro: press : + wq
[02:38] <Hyakutaro> no it's not that
[02:38] <devilz> bvanaerde, do i need to recompile kernel?
[02:38] <bouter> who here has exerience with MSI and ubuntu?
[02:38] <squarepusher> Hyakutaro:  escape, colon, wq <enter>
[02:38] <squarepusher> in normal mode dd deletes a line
[02:38] <Hyakutaro> squarepusher: I go to command lin in vim then wq?
[02:38] <lupine_85> ah
[02:38] <Hyakutaro> : to go to enter command
[02:38] <Hyakutaro> then wq?
[02:39] <bvanaerde> devilz: not sure if that will help
[02:39] <thoreauputic> Hyakutaro: nano is easier if you don't know vim
[02:39] <Hyakutaro> exit
[02:39] <bouter> msi ...anyone?
[02:39] <squarepusher> Hyakutaro: after you make the change (in insert mode or otherwise) do ESC+:+wq+<enter>
[02:39] <SVisor> Hyakutaro: to the mode where VIM beeps but does not type and then :wq
[02:39] <lupine_85> I vaguely remember using wvdial at some point, and pon/poff to control the connection
[02:39] <squarepusher> SVisor: also known as normal mode
[02:39] <eds0n> hey, is there any way to install xfsprogs 2.8 through a repo?
[02:40] <spinz8r> what's the difference in using "sudo gedit xxxx" and "sudo nano xxx"? thanks
[02:40] <Dimensions> ahhan... how can i setup poff for it lupine_85?
[02:40] <eds0n> I need it to fix my hd, and the older versions can't due to a bug
[02:40] <devilz> bvanaerde, here its says Note: You have to recompile the kernel module after each kernel update!
[02:40] <SVisor> spinz8r: Diff editor
[02:40] <thoreauputic> spinz8r: gedit is an X app ( graphical)
[02:40] <bvanaerde> but did you do a kernel update
[02:40] <lupine_85> no idea
[02:40] <Dimensions> :'(
[02:40] <spinz8r> SVisor: does  it serve same function?
[02:40] <bvanaerde> here's a thread with people that have the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143283&page=2
[02:40] <squarepusher> spinz8r: gedit and nano are both text editors. gedit is graphical, nano is console-based.
[02:40] <thoreauputic> spinz8r: nano is a terminal editor - no graphical interface required
[02:41] <squarepusher> spinz8r: ignore what SVisor said
[02:41] <SVisor> spinz8r: YEs.. but gedit need a working X
[02:41] <squarepusher> spinz8r: "Diff editor" has nothing to do with your question.
[02:41] <spinz8r> I see. thanks folks
[02:41] <fourat> how to execute msi files with wine ?
[02:41] <squarepusher> fourat: rm -Rf *.mis
[02:41] <lupine_85> fourat: wine might be able to do it
[02:41] <squarepusher> fourat: rm -Rf *.msi
[02:41] <lupine_85> erm, no
[02:42] <lupine_85> behave :)
[02:42] <thoreauputic> spinz8r: nano ( or vim) are useful especially when X isn't working or when you don't need it ( servers, ssh etc)
[02:42] <lupine_85> failing wine, Cedega definitely does
[02:42] <bouter> msi ....  how about the msi notebooks    anyone with exp?
[02:42] <jokester> hey ppl. I'm using dapper drake and have a bizarre problem: all apps start really slowly. It seems to be related to the internet connection. No internet connection slow/ with internet connection everything is alright. Any ideas what I did wrong ?
[02:42] <rukus> dns.
[02:43] <spinz8r> thoreauputic: thanks
[02:43] <thoreauputic> squarepusher: don't give commands like that here even as a joke
[02:43] <lupine_85> joe++
[02:43] <lupine_85> and besides, it's r not R
[02:43] <jokester> I assumed it must be the dns but how can I correct it ?
[02:43] <thoreauputic> squarepusher: you're lucky I didn't just kick you out, to be honest
[02:43] <lupine_85> jokester: take out the dns nameservers while you're not on the 'net?
[02:43] <jokester> I have none installed. is gnome looking for some dns names before running apps ?
[02:46] <thoreauputic> jokester: do you have the lo interface in /etc/network/interfaces ? It should point to <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:46] <xopher> anyone on amd64 here?
[02:46] <jokester> i made no modifs to interfaces
[02:47] <thoreauputic> jokester: check to see if you have that lo in there
[02:47] <jokester> it might be because of networkmanager ?
[02:47] <thoreauputic> jokester: also check what you have in /etc/hosts
[02:47] <jokester> tied to loopback
[02:48] <thoreauputic> jokester: network manager requires that you have only the lo interface in /etc/network/interfaces
[02:48] <jokester> iface lo inet loopback
[02:48] <squarepusher> thoreauputic: you know, there's nothing wrong with giving out information. Information wants to be free, after all.
[02:48] <thoreauputic> OK
[02:48] <Daniel0> on the login screen, when i click 'configure login manager' it asks for a password. what password should i enter? o_O
[02:48] <jokester> hosts is empty
[02:48] <thoreauputic> squarepusher: when you give info that might delete important files, all bets are off
[02:49] <thoreauputic> jokester: that could be your problem
[02:49] <jokester> why ?
[02:49] <jokester> should tie localhost with <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[02:49] <eds0n> hey, is there any way to install xfsprogs 2.8 through a repo?
[02:49] <faisal_d> hello... gcc problems compiling postgresql on ubuntu dapper... is this the right channel?
[02:49] <eds0n> I need it to fix my hd, and the older versions can't due to a bug
[02:50] <thoreauputic> jokester: you need at least <IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost <yourhostname>
[02:50] <jokester> oki trying that thx
[02:50] <ompaul> faisal_d, silly question why are you not installing it out of the box?
[02:50] <xopher> someone with amd64 want to help me try something  out?
[02:51] <faisal_d> ompaul, tried it but it gave me some trouble... decided to build from source, because ti worked with me before on FC5
[02:51] <thoreauputic> jokester: if you have statically configured IPs you will want /etc/hosts entries for those too, probably
[02:51] <seth1248> Can anyone tell me why I get the error: "Can't find file "ledcaps" for compat include" in /var/log/gdm/:0.log?
[02:52] <ompaul> faisal_d, what trouble, (I prefer to work with packages I can point you at all the compiling guides but it shouldbe achievable with packages)
[02:52] <faisal_d> ompaul... kk, i'll reinstall the package and get back to you :)
[02:53] <ompaul> faisal_d, okay
[02:54] <thoreauputic> jokester: your lo entry in /etc/network/interfaces also needs auto lo  if I remember correctly
[02:54] <jokester> yeah its there
[02:55] <thoreauputic> OK - sudo  /etc/init.d/networking restart  ( can't hurt, might help)
[02:58] <devilz> thoreauputic, do you know why i keep getting mesa instead of ati
[02:59] <jokeste1> not working as I hoped
[02:59] <jokeste1> can it be because of networkmanager ?
[02:59] <thoreauputic> devilz: no, I have a rubbish onboard card here so I never had to configure that stuff :)
[02:59] <jokeste1> i installed a stupid applet a while back and thought i got rid of it but i see it's still there somehow

[03:05] <bouter> anyone here who can anser my question?
[03:05] <jrib> avalost: check out the august 30th post
[03:06] <Krpano> after the install the update manager asked me to update my system.....i did it.....so, after the install and reboot i see 2 kernel options on the GRUB....
[03:06] <faisal_d> bouter you need to ask your question to see if anybody can answer it
[03:06] <Krpano> is it normal ?
[03:06] <thoreauputic> bouter:  lsmod ?
[03:06] <spinz8r> thoreauputic: cool, tks

[03:06] <erUSUL> vandit: install sun-java5-plugin for firefox support
[03:07] <vandit> erUSUL but what if like I want to have not 1.5 but 1.6 beta java?
[03:07] <erUSUL> vandit: you can dl it from sun and install it by hand
[03:08] <vandit> and can I have that be the default java?
[03:08] <Blob> thoreauputic, Do you have more information?  Where is the factoid?

[03:12] <oqbo> i want to use ubuntu

[03:12] <thoreauputic> oqbo: I dual boot OS-X and Ubuntu on an iBook - 10 Gig part for Ubuntu
[03:12] <Gorbulas> what should I have in my sources.list?

[03:18] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:18] <Gorbulas> that doesn't say how to use an ubuntu client
[03:18] <thoreauputic> Gorbulas: *shrug* i thought it might help...
[03:19] <DJGummikuh> hey someone can help me on that one?
[03:19] <KanRiNiN> Hey I have a question about rebuilding packages using apt-get build-dep command
[03:19] <thoreauputic> Gorbulas: there's openvpn, but I have no idea if it plays nice with MS versions
[03:19] <Gorbulas> I can ping my Mac
[03:19] <Gorbulas> :)
[03:20] <DJGummikuh> grats :D
[03:20] <DarkMageZ> thoreauputic, from what i've heard, openvpn doesn't play nicely with microsoft's vpn
[03:20] <thoreauputic> DJGummikuh: try ls -ld /foldername to see the permissions
[03:20] <DJGummikuh> thoreauputic: drwxrwxrwx
[03:20] <thoreauputic> DarkMageZ: that's what i susupected
[03:20] <thoreauputic> *suspected
[03:20] <DJGummikuh> thoreauputic: I'm not the user a friend is but I have more experience with linux than he does ;)
[03:20] <DarkMageZ> thoreauputic, i've heard that all the different vendors have their slightly different implementation...
[03:21] <DJGummikuh> so I try to help him
[03:21] <thoreauputic> DJGummikuh: that looks like complee access - or it's a symlink ?
[03:21] <thoreauputic> *complete
[03:21] <DJGummikuh> thoreauputic: its complete access...
[03:21] <DJGummikuh> thoreauputic: its for testing purposes - however even then I cannot access it
[03:22] <DJGummikuh> as soon as the folder is RENAMED to somethign else like images2, it can be accessed
[03:22] <thoreauputic> DJGummikuh: even as root?
[03:22] <Daniel0> on the login screen, when i click 'configure login manager' it asks for a password. what password should i enter? o_O
[03:22] <DJGummikuh> yes you can access it from the system
[03:22] <DJGummikuh> but apache denies access from http
[03:22] <DJGummikuh> Daniel0: your user password i would suggest
[03:22] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: your password, assuming you are the first user configured on the box
[03:22] <Daniel0> it says it's the wrong password
[03:22] <Daniel0> when i enter mine
[03:23] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: did you use the "expert" install ?
[03:23] <Daniel0> for the user 'daniel' (which i created when i installed it)
[03:23] <Daniel0> i don't know...
[03:23] <Daniel0> which is 'expert'?
[03:23] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: your /etc/sudoers should have the admin user enabled, and you need to be in the admin group
[03:23] <fourat> anyone using gizmoproject ?
[03:23] <britt> okay, I used ssh-keygen to create a RSA key, and im trying to figure out how to do the other parts. is there a howto?
[03:24] <fourat> i have sound problems with gizmo
[03:25] <Daniel0> thoreauputic: it is
[03:25] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: then your password should work - is this dapper 6.06 LTS ?
[03:26] <Daniel0> thoreauputic: yeah
[03:26] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: and you are sure your user is in the admin group? Type "groups" without quotes to see
[03:26] <thoreauputic> in a terminal of course
[03:26] <Daniel0> i am
[03:27] <Daniel0> and i can use the sudo command and such
[03:27] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: so it's only GUI apps that cause trouble?
[03:27] <britt> i'm confused. this isnt the main ubuntu room? Im trying to find information about using keypairs with SSH
[03:28] <thoreauputic> or only the login screen configure app?
[03:28] <Daniel0> thoreauputic: well, on the login screen it i can click on a button that says 'sessions' (or something like that), then i can choose 'configure login manager'. then without having entered a username it switches to password, and when i enter my password it just says 'wrong password'
[03:28] <thoreauputic> britt: yes this is it
[03:28] <Rookie-> your right britt - this is the main ubuntu room
[03:29] <britt> thoreauputic: so can you help me with keypairs or direct me to some howto?
[03:29] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: try configuring it from gnome after logging in
[03:29] <greg_zx> lol
[03:29] <thoreauputic> britt: if you wait a moment - but your question was pretty general
[03:29] <britt> thoreauputic:
[03:30] <thoreauputic> !patience

[03:30] <Daniel0> thoreauputic: is that System > Administration > Login Window?
[03:30] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: yes, sounds right
[03:30] <faisal_d> britt: this might help you: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-30709.html
[03:30] <Daniel0> so is login window and login manager the same?
[03:32] <godfather> guys
[03:32] <godfather> have a big problem
[03:32] <faisal_d> godfather: told you that dealing with the mafia is of no good :)
[03:32] <dhq> dimsuz: access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[03:32] <dhq> access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[03:32] <Daniel0> thoreauputic: then how would i set gnome as the default desktop enviroment?
[03:32] <godfather> faisal
[03:32] <godfather> don't worry
[03:33] <dhq> i get this error cannont connect to xserver what do i do
[03:33] <godfather> i'm a fair dinkum
[03:33] <godfather> i have a wireless modem
[03:33] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: when you choose gnome from sessions, it will ask you on login if you want it as default
[03:33] <godfather> of an italian telecomunication society
[03:33] <godfather> the problem i s that installation's cd runs only on win
[03:33] <thoreauputic> britt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto
[03:34] <godfather> i have a poor ubuntu dapper drake
[03:34] <godfather> and i'm completely out with nets
[03:34] <Daniel0> thoreauputic: no... it just closes and then i can login into gnome. then next time i want to log in i will have to do it again
[03:34] <godfather> on italian chat of ubunt nobody could help me so
[03:34] <godfather> soonly you can save me
[03:35] <godfather> i can see
[03:35] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: erm - here it asks every time that you change the session - else it uses the default
[03:35] <godfather> with wireless assistant the net
[03:35] <godfather> but i can't surf on internet
[03:35] <Daniel0> thoreauputic: is there another way to do it then?
[03:35] <godfather> i have the wep
[03:35] <godfather> and wpa
[03:35] <bintut> how can i connect to a remote server thru ipsec in my ubuntu workstation?
[03:35] <godfather> anybody can help me
[03:35] <godfather> ?
[03:36] <dhq> brb
[03:36] <DJGummikuh> bintut: you need cisco vpn client
[03:36] <baalzamon> Hi, could anyone tell me where do i change the color bright in ubuntu?
[03:36] <thephunkizm> does anyone know which file contains the extension information for firefox?  i installed an extension and it's locking up my browser so i have to remove it somehow!
[03:36] <thoreauputic> Daniel0: I don't understand the problem - if you want gnome, tell it to give you gnome - if youwant something else, choose that and tell it to make that your default wen it asks
[03:36] <thoreauputic> *when
[03:36] <DJGummikuh> thoreauputic: remove .firefox from your home directory to delete all configuration
[03:37] <Daniel0> it don't ask me, it just remembers is for the session. then when i log out and in again it uses another one
[03:37] <thoreauputic> britt: I take it your silence means that howto is adequate to your demanding needs?
[03:37] <britt> lol
[03:37] <baalzamon> anyone to help me?
[03:37] <thoreauputic> DJGummikuh: I think you hav ethe wrong nick..
[03:37] <lupine_85> thephunkizm: ~/.firefox/(profilename/extensions
[03:37] <bintut> DJGummikuh: can't i connect to an ipsec server using my ubuntu dapper workstation?
[03:37] <faisal_d> gofather, does ubuntu see your wireless card?
[03:37] <britt> no im still confused, but at least I have some level of direction.

[03:39] <godfather> tnx guys
[03:39] <thoreauputic> DJGummikuh: you adressed a comment to me about firefox that was nothing to do with my nick :)
[03:39] <Gaz> yes, it is the wireless
[03:39] <DJGummikuh> thoreauputic: ah lol I thougth you meant I have the wrong nick
[03:39] <baalzamon> None here to tell me where i change the GAMMA!?
[03:39] <Gaz> heh, how did you know that ;)
[03:39] <DJGummikuh> that was for bintut
[03:40] <thoreauputic> DJGummikuh: well, that might be true too - only you can say ;P
[03:40] <thoreauputic> ;-)
[03:40] <jokeste1> thanks thoreauputic. works like a charm no :)

[03:40] <jokeste1> i sure as hell didn't
[03:41] <jokeste1> well since my comp works now i should probably use it :-P by ppl
[03:41] <thoreauputic> jokeste1: you might be right about network manager - it's pretty alpha if you ask me
[03:41] <Gaz> so, how does kubuntu detect, connect and register a successful wireless card ?

[03:49] <baalzamon> cgiec, melhor falar ingles aqui :)
[03:50] <Dru> spanish or italian
[03:50] <cgiec> sorry
[03:50] <cgiec> how a make install files .deb?
[03:51] <Dru> I do not know how to create .deb but installing just need to double click them
[03:51] <DJGummikuh> ok again
[03:51] <Gaz> sorry, but this is all gobblygook
[03:51] <DJGummikuh> we now installed php using synaptics and aptitude
[03:51] <DJGummikuh> is there anywhere where we have to tell apache to use php?
[03:52] <Gaz> how, just how (bearing in mind i've been trying for about 6hours now) do i install wifi on kubuntu zd1211?
[03:52] <britt> DJGummikuh: yes.
[03:52] <DJGummikuh> britt: ... and where? :)
[03:52] <lupine_85> Gaz: a driver comes installed in the kernel by default...
[03:52] <baalzamon> Dru, could you help me to adjust my video settings? (bright, contrast and gamma)
[03:52] <lupine_85> ...do you have a wireless interface? (iwconfig)
[03:52] <britt> DJGummikuh: look for libapache2-mod-php4 or something like that
[03:52] <anvd23> no
[03:52] <Gaz> lupine: thanks :), next question: how do i connect using it?
[03:53] <cgiec> but return, file not suported...
[03:53] <anvd23> no wireless((
[03:53] <KanRiNiN> hey how can I ensure that GCC is building programs with my processor settings instead of generic ones?
[03:53] <Gaz> lupine: no wireless extensions
[03:53] <britt> KanRiNiN: are you using autoconf?
[03:53] <cgiec> Dru, but return "file not suported."
[03:53] <Gaz> except for wlan
[03:53] <lupine_85> Gaz: does it say that on all of the devices?
[03:54] <lupine_85> so wlan0 is a wireless device
[03:54] <DJGummikuh> britt: what do I do with it? isntall it with synaptics/aptitude?
[03:54] <britt> KanRiNiN: the prog should be built with YOUR processor settings as default
[03:54] <britt> DJGummikuh: yep.
[03:54] <lupine_85> ok, is your AP open or does it have any encryption (WEP, WPA?)
[03:54] <KanRiNiN> so instead of ./configure just type autoconf
[03:54] <KanRiNiN> make
[03:54] <DJGummikuh> britt: and that's it?
[03:54] <KanRiNiN> make checkinstall?
[03:54] <britt> DJGummikuh: its a script to modify yoru apache2 settings, and it shoudl work
[03:54] <Gaz> lo : no wireless eth0: no wirelss wlan: 802.11b/g NIC essid "" mode: managed
[03:54] <DJGummikuh> ah ic
[03:54] <DJGummikuh> do I run it?
[03:55] <DJGummikuh> or what do I do?
[03:55] <Gaz> it has encryption WEP
[03:55] <britt> DJGummikuh: nope. Get synaptic to install it and then it should auto configure
[03:55] <lupine_85> ok Gaz the module is installed fine. So now you need to give linux your wlan settings...
[03:55] <DJGummikuh> britt: hmm he has apache 1.3 and libapache-mod-php4 already installed
[03:55] <Gaz> :)
[03:55] <britt> DJGummikuh: intresting
[03:55] <lczxl> hello ,how to install qemu
[03:55] <lupine_85> ... for the WEP key: "sudo iwconfig wlan key <key>"
[03:55] <DJGummikuh> nevertheless, phpsysinfo wants to download a php file rather than show it
[03:55] <britt> DJGummikuh: did you do 'invoke-rc.d apache2 restart'
[03:55] <lupine_85> if the key is ASCII, precede it with "s:"
[03:55] <DJGummikuh> no
[03:56] <DJGummikuh> its not apache2 its apache 1.3 (whyever)
[03:56] <britt> DJGummikuh: do that.
[03:56] <britt> DJGummikuh: okay. my mistake
[03:56] <Gaz> how would i know if my key is ASCII?
[03:56] <DJGummikuh> what is invok-rcd? we did /etc/init.d/apache restart
[03:56] <georgemattos> algum brasileiro?
[03:56] <lupine_85> Gaz: if it has any characters that aren't 0-9, or a-f, then it's ASCII
[03:56] <lupine_85> if not, then it's probably HEX
[03:56] <lupine_85> erm, hex
[03:56] <Gaz> okay :), should i also inclue the hypens ( -)
[03:57] <lupine_85> if hex, then no
[03:57] <Gaz> it has letters, so i'll include the hypens?
[03:57] <cgiec> how a make install files .deb because with double click return "file not suported."
[03:57] <lupine_85> if the letters are anything from g-z, then yes
[03:57] <lupine_85> (in hexadecimal, a-f are also numberS)
[03:58] <Gaz> nope. highest letter is an E
[03:58] <Gaz> ahh! i see :)
[03:58] <lupine_85> ok, it's probably hex then
[03:58] <Nep8750> 10 = a 11 = b 12 = c 13 = d 14 = e 15 = f
[03:59] <lupine_85> once you've run that command, you need to give it your ESSID - so "sudo iwconfig wlan essid <essid>"
[03:59] <cgiec> georgemattos, cara como eu fao pra instalar arquivos .deb?
[03:59] <lupine_85> at that point, it "might" connect automatically
[03:59] <lupine_85> !fr ?
[03:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fr ? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:59] <lupine_85> !fr
[03:59] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:59] <georgemattos> cara nao nao tem o dpkg no ubuntu?
[03:59] <lupine_85>  /var/cache/apt
[04:00] <Gaz> okay, it has shown error of: error for wireless request "set encode" (8b2a) SET failed on device wlan ; no such device
[04:00] <cgiec> tah dando erro, ele retorna tipo de arquivo naum suportado
[04:00] <lupine_85> ok, try wlan0
[04:00] <lupine_85> instead of "wlan"
[04:00] <Gaz> okay :)
[04:00] <federicomattes> Hello, I need help with the sound on Ubuntu 6.06. I have no sound
[04:00] <lupine_85> if that doesn't work, pastebin the output of iwconfig
[04:00] <georgemattos> dpkg -i nome_do_pacote
[04:00] <Gaz> seemed to go through
[04:01] <federicomattes> I guess some volume control is muted
[04:01] <georgemattos> ou
[04:01] <Gaz> console jumped a line
[04:01] <georgemattos> sudo dpkg -i nome_do_pacote
[04:01] <lupine_85> that's fine
[04:01] <lupine_85> now do the essid
[04:01] <lupine_85> (^ ^)
[04:01] <Gaz> :))
[04:02] <lupine_85> Gaz: once you've done that, run "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" followed by "dhclient wlan0"
[04:02] <lupine_85> erm, sudo dhclient...
[04:02] <lupine_85> that'll hopefully get you connected :)
[04:02] <federicomattes> Hello, I need help with the sound on Ubuntu 6.06. I have no sound!!!

[04:03] <federicomattes> Nep8750 my computer is a notebook

[04:04] <federicomattes> Nep8750 I had previously Ubuntu 5.10 installed and the sound worked well
[04:04] <federicomattes> Nep8750 ok

[04:04] <lupine_85> Gaz: did you get any DHCPOFFER ?
[04:04] <Gaz> none
[04:05] <federicomattes> yes
[04:05] <lupine_85> ok, can you pastebin that console output + the current output of iwconfig and "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" ?

[04:07] <federicomattes> Nep8750 I guess yes. I don't have much idea...
[04:07] <Nep8750> lupine_85: it should be: sudo iwlist scan wlan0
[04:07] <Gaz> 3 results: one mine, two, my nextdoor neighbours'
[04:08] <Gaz> does the ESSID have to match the routers' essid?
[04:08] <er> :-D
[04:08] <Nep8750> opps i'm ass backwards
[04:08] <lupine_85> eh, so it is :)

[04:08] <Gaz> lol
[04:08] <Gaz> reet
[04:08] <Nep8750> federicomattes: it could be just that your volume is low =P
[04:09] <er>
[04:09] <lupine_85> scan reports the essid that the router has - you need to make sure that it's the same in iwconfig
[04:09] <federicomattes> I've setted all volume at high
[04:09] <Gaz> it is now

[04:13] <Gaz> okay: DHCP DISCOVER on wlan0 t0 255.... port 67 interval 7 , DCHPOFFER from <IP_ADDRESS> , DCHPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.... port 67 , DHCPACK from 192... , grep: /etc/resolv.conf: no such file
[04:13] <lupine_85> Gaz: OK - you're connected :)
[04:13] <lupine_85> try "ping <IP_ADDRESS>"
[04:13] <lupine_85> erm, <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:13] <Gaz> sudo ping?
[04:13] <lupine_85> just ping :)
[04:13] <Neo8750> federicomattes: actually did you update kernel??
[04:13] <Gaz> okay :)
[04:14] <Q-FUNK> would anyone happen to know which package contains the default Ubuntu usplash theme to go with usplash 0.4?
[04:14] <federicomattes> Neo8750  No. I don't know how to do it. I just install Ubuntu and run Automatix
[04:14] <Gaz> 64 bytes from <IP> (about twenty times)
[04:15] <lupine_85> Gaz: ctrl+c it - congratulations, you've got wireless internet :)
[04:15] <Neo8750> federicomattes: well it may have done that when it upgraded and that could be why your sound is messed up
[04:15] <Trackilizer> I have a daul monitor setup, but i can't login, because my mouse is on the left monitor and the login screen on the right, i can't drag the mouse to the other side.
[04:15] <Gaz> wow thanks :D
[04:15] <lupine_85> now to make the settings permanent - edit the file /etc/network/interfaces (as root/sudo)
[04:15] <lupine_85> sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces would do the trick
[04:15] <federicomattes> Neo8750 I did not upgraded
[04:15] <er> i need help:(
[04:16] <jacob_> Somebody that can help me ?
[04:16] <Neo8750> but you said you went from 5.10 to 6.06
[04:16] <Gaz> a new screen has appeared
[04:16] <Gaz> GNU nano
[04:16] <lupine_85> first delete any lines which reference wlan0 (if there are any), then at the end of the file you want ( indicates new line)...
[04:16] <federicomattes> Neo8750  I have downloaded image cd and did a fresh installation
[04:17] <Neo8750> oh
[04:17] <lupine_85> auto wlan0  iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-key <key>  wireless-essid <essid>
[04:17] <Neo8750> federicomattes: so you didn't do any updates yet?
[04:17] <lupine_85> replacing <key> and <essid> with the exact values you currently have :)
[04:17] <zzyber> Hi, im trying to install ubuntu as server and have downloaded the ubuntu server version. Can someone explain how to get the xserver configured during install or if its possible to install the server with some graphical guide with predefined packages similar to the LAMP package
[04:17] <lupine_85> then ctrl+o <enter> and ctrl+x <enter> to save and exit
[04:18] <federicomattes> Neo8750  the system is updated (says Ubuntu)
[04:18] <lupine_85> that'll make your system reconnect on reboot
[04:18] <Ge2X> hey could som1 plz tell how can i get the autoconf utility
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> federicomattes: If you insist on running #Automatix, please make a full backup first.   The script can cause problems that are not immediately seen.
[04:18] <Neo8750> federicomattes: do a 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'
[04:19] <Neo8750> unless you mean you did that
[04:19] <zzyber> As i explained earlier i like to install ubuntu as server without all manual hands-on to configure every component manually
[04:19] <zzyber> any ideas.........ubuntu as server?
[04:19] <Gaz> okay :)
[04:20] <Gaz> rebooting...
[04:20] <federicomattes> Neo8750  done. it its updated
[04:20] <lupine_85> zzyber: install ubuntu-server using the alt install CD, then set up as needed
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> federicomattes: Are you on a fresh install OR did you do a fresh install AND run Automatix?
[04:20] <Neo8750> Jack_Sparrow:  he said he did automatic
[04:20] <Neo8750> x
[04:21] <federicomattes> Jack_Sparrow I did a a fresh install and then run Automatix
[04:21] <federicomattes> Jack_Sparrow  But I had no sound from the beginning
[04:21] <zzyber> lupine_85: what is alt install cd?
[04:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Neo8750: I wasnt sure if he had run it on the new install or did the new install after he scrambled his system with automatix
[04:21] <lupine_85> it's a CD which doesn't include the Live desktop
[04:21] <lupine_85> it does have lots of extra options when it comes to installing, however
[04:21] <lupine_85> such as installing a base server install
[04:23] <Gaz> erm...network is unreachable
[04:23] <federicomattes> Neo8750  I got the solution. I desactivated the buttom External Amplifier...
[04:23] <federicomattes>  Neo8750  Thanks anyway!!!!
[04:24] <lupine_85> Gaz: does iwconfig show anything in the "AP" section for wlan0 ?
[04:24] <Neo8750> the what??
[04:24] <lupine_85> e.g. mine says Access Point: 00:0F:EA:F0:E4:F3
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> federicomattes: THis would be a good time to make a backup
[04:24] <Gaz> not associated
[04:24] <federicomattes> Jack_Sparrow  Which is the best way to make backup?
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Neo8750: there is an external amplifier option that needs to be disabled.. really wierd
[04:25] <lupine_85> hmm. Is there anything in essid and key?
[04:25] <Gaz> no
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> federicomattes: I use the one line tar command found here..
[04:25] <Neo8750> I never ran into that problem[
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup > federicomattes
[04:25] <lupine_85> ok, does 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' show the stuff that you added?
[04:25] <Gaz> NIC ESSID ""
[04:25] <gansinho> please, I need some help to update my nvidia driver ... I've followed the whowto's, but it IS installed, howver I can't update it
[04:25] <zzyber> lupine_85: thanks, im downloading it now. Earlier i downloaded the ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386 but as you mention that version is for techincal people that later also make their own kernel to be superSuper documentet during install..............Im thru with all manual work, as an old network engineer i just like it to work without the need of installing pinball :-)
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> gansinho: What howto and why are you updating it and from where
[04:26] <federicomattes> Jack_Sparrow  thanks for your help
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:27] <Gaz> lupine: yes it does
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> federicomattes: Please come here for help before reuuing that script to install anything else
[04:27] <Ubuntu_g1> Hy, anyone . how can i test my /dev/ttyS0??
[04:27] <lupine_85> ok, try 'sudo ifup -a'
[04:27] <lupine_85> Ubuntu_g1: got anything plugged into it?
[04:27] <archangelpetro> does anyone have any idea when gcc 4.1 is coming out for ubuntu amd64?
[04:27] <federicomattes> Jack_Sparrow  Now I know, thanks!
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Ubuntu_g1: Testing a modem?
[04:28] <Ubuntu_g1> no, i want test my apc ups.
[04:28] <Ge2X> how can i access CVS?
[04:28] <gansinho> Jack_Sparrow: I've followed a how to from the portuguese forum (I'm brazilian) it worked great, later I've used automatix to install the driver again and it installed a better driver (in which I had controls to change gama, contrast etc from aplicatios>systemtolls>nvidia) but after some changes over here ( :P ) Ive uninstalled it and now I can't get it back
[04:28] <lupine_85> well, you can use minicom... or a whole host of other programs... to open a connection to the serial port
[04:28] <lupine_85> no idea if you need special software for the ups, though
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> gansinho: Sorry to hear you ran automatix
[04:29] <gansinho> why?
[04:29] <xopher> anyone running amd64 here who would like to confirm something for me?
[04:29] <Gaz> lupine: no sucvh devices
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> gansinho: It is NOT rewcommended since it messes up peoples systems
[04:29] <gansinho> here it did not, Ive backed up my sopurces.list installed just the driver ...
[04:29] <lupine_85> Gaz: ok, exactly what did you put into the file?
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> gansinho: If you were to go to #Automatix, you would find little or no help
[04:30] <zzyber> i also have two 320Gb disks on this server im installing and im confused if i should have it as raid 0 1 or 5 or if i should just have it in one volume mounted as /home. Is soft-raid to recommend on a fileserver and do you recommend a mirror or as raid5?
[04:30] <lupine_85> (you did use wlan0 instead of wlan, right?)
[04:30] <gansinho> Jack_Sparrow: thats bad. =/
[04:30] <peace-keeper> aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
[04:30] <Gaz> lupine: cat: etc/network/interfaces: no such file
[04:30] <Neo8750> zzyber: depends what you want
[04:30] <lupine_85>  /etc/network/interfaces
[04:30] <gansinho> Jack_Sparrow: but, is there any repositories that I can add to sources.list to update my nvidia driver?
[04:30] <lupine_85> the leading / is important :)
[04:31] <gansinho> Jack_Sparrow:  automatix did not messed things over here... I bet I messed by myself playing with xgl
[04:31] <Dru> you could use automatix to update/install the nvidia drivers
[04:32] <peace-keeper> the only good thing about linux is that after 100 things you wanted to do fail, there are still 1000 other things to try
[04:32] <Gaz> auto wlan0 , iface wlan0 inet dhcp , wireless-key <key> , wireless-essid <essid>
[04:32] <zzyber> Neo8750: hmm, yes i understand, i think i set it as mirror anyway
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> gansinho: Edgy will be released next month.  The sources in place and the files they contain are stable.  Once you go outside that box it is hard to get back
[04:32] <skizzo> does anyone have any suggestions on a good FTP daemon that *doesn't* use linux's user accounts? And will work with Ubuntu?
[04:32] <lupine_85> ok, so the "," are newlines? And you need to replace <key> and <essid> with the appropriate values :)
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> gansinho: The sources in place with a fresh Dapper install and the files they contain are stable.
[04:32] <gansinho> Jack_Sparrow: and I will install it over dapper with no data lost?
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> No nono
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> I didnt say that properly
[04:33] <gansinho> =p
[04:33] <Gaz> lupine: yes, " , " denotes a new line, and values are correct
[04:33] <lupine_85> hmm... very strange
[04:33] <gansinho> Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the help!
[04:33] <lupine_85> ok, run the iwconfig commands again
[04:34] <smiff> hi. I'm trying to disable fast switch user in gnome but I can't find any documentation to do so. I already search gentoo and ubuntu forums and gnome, but found nothing about it.  I found the configuration to disable to switch user on screen saver but I can't remove the feature from logout/shutdown dialog. Anyone knows who to do it? thanks
[04:34] <ladydoor> what's a good (preferably command-line OR terminal/curses/etc. UI) audio recording program? it doesn't need to be featureful, it just needs to record the audio from my voice recorder onto my computer.
[04:34] <Gaz> not associated and NIC and ESSID both empty
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> gansinho: SOmeone may be able to help more, but as I suggested earlier, regular backups are the best thing to use before going outside the box to add something that may not be stable
[04:35] <lupine_85> so you ran sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <essid> and it didn't take the essid?
[04:35] <Gaz> should i delete eth0 lo and sit0?
[04:35] <lupine_85> no, leave them as they are
[04:35] <seth> I keep getting the: Error activating XKB configuration popup. What can I do?
[04:36] <seth> http://pastebin.co.uk/833
[04:36] <xopher> anyone running amd64 here who would like to confirm something for me?
[04:36] <Gaz> the essid has took when i typed in sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <essid>
[04:36] <lupine_85> ok; now do the same for your wep key
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> seth: I see some bug reports on that using google
[04:37] <Gaz> what was the code again :)
[04:37] <Gaz> wep?
[04:38] <seth> Me too, but most of them refer to using non-us keyboard layouts.
[04:38] <lupine_85> sudo iwconfig wlan0 key <key>
[04:39] <Gaz> access point has changed
[04:39] <lupine_85> ok, so you're connected again; run sudo dhclient wlan0 one more time :)
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> seth: Did you go through and read all the comments, it seems broken symlinks were the cause for all of those.. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugs/2004-October/011438.html
[04:39] <seth> Yes
[04:40] <Gaz> okay :)
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> seth: Did you try to add the symlink they suggest?
[04:41] <peace-keeper> lol yeah after about 100 tries i finally managed to listen to an internet radio station
[04:41] <Gaz> the internet works, but will it connect on startup?
[04:41] <peace-keeper> why does everything on linux have to be so complicated
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> What is the line to add in fstab to mount an ext3 as read write... assume sda4 is what I wanted to add..
[04:42] <DiODO> hola' :)
[04:42] <lupine_85> Gaz: seems not :(. So we'll make a script to do the above three actions automatically
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> peace-keeper: Windows was not just instantly understood by anyone either
[04:42] <Gaz> okay :)
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !es > DiODO
[04:42] <lupine_85> in your favourite editor, start with the line #!/bin/bash
[04:43] <Gaz> yup
[04:43] <lupine_85> then sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <essid> followed by the lines sudo iwconfig wlan0 key <key> and sudo dhclient wlan0
[04:43] <Ge2X> ive installed autoconf 2.60 but when i try command "aclocal && automake && autoconf && configure && make" it says bash: aclocal: command not found
[04:44] <lupine_85> Save it into your /home directory
[04:44] <lupine_85> so /home/gaz (or whatever)
[04:44] <Ge2X> how can i make aclocal and all those other commands work?
[04:44] <xav> Jack_Sparrow: it's still much easier
[04:44] <lupine_85> then in terminal, chmod a+x ~/<filename>
[04:44] <lupine_85> (start-wireless.sh is a good name)
[04:44] <Ge2X> ive installed autoconf 2.60 but when i try command "aclocal && automake && autoconf && configure && make" it says bash: aclocal: command not found plz help anyone
[04:45] <Jack_Sparrow> xav: Easier now that you know it, more expensive , less stable and more vulnerable to attack
[04:45] <lupine_85> then when you start up, you can just run that script and your wireless will connect
[04:45] <lupine_85> (create a symlink/shortcut to it on your desktop for ease of use :) )
[04:45] <zzyber> still reading up on the server install and i have a question (maybe strange question but....): When installed the server i like it to act as domain controller for some windows machines on the network, i will use samba. But i have ubuntu as workstation, how do i authenticate against the domain..........can i use mapping of shares as windows do or......? This is new for me, any suggestion?
[04:45] <Ge2X> ive installed autoconf 2.60 but when i try command "aclocal && automake && autoconf && configure && make" it says bash: aclocal: command not found plz help how to make acloacal work?
[04:46] <Gaz> i typed it in open office, will that run the script?
[04:46] <xav> Jack_Sparrow: I had more lockups with linux than I had when I was on win xp
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> xav: Most problems with linux are self inflicted, feel free to use whatever works for you, but this is all off topic and needs to go to ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue the discussion
[04:47] <kendals> Trying to install compiz+aiglx, but it cannot find E: Couldn't find package linux-dri-modules-common
[04:47] <kendals> any ideas?
[04:47] <xav> Jack_Sparrow: I don't know what you mean by "easier now that you know it". As far as I can tell, ppl have much less troubles with windows than they do with linux for doing simple/basic things
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !offtopic > xav
[04:48] <lupine_85> gaz, erm. Save it as plain text
[04:48] <termleech> is anyone else having problems with us.archive.ubuntu.org?  it's taking like 5 minutes for me to connect and get packages for ubuntu
[04:49] <ladydoor> Gaz: for future reference, you should *really* use a text editor for editing text. openoffice is for when you need fancy formatting.
[04:49] <trappist> termleech: I have problems with it all the time.  I finally quit using it.
[04:49] <kendals> termleech, the forums are going slow too..
[04:49] <xav> Jack_Sparrow: and more vulnerable is not as obvious as you may think
[04:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !offtopic > xav
[04:49] <kendals> Trying to install compiz+aiglx, but it cannot find E: Couldn't find package linux-dri-modules-common - don't know what to do here? :(
[04:49] <ladydoor> Gaz: examples you might like include gedit/kedit and nano
[04:49] <termleech> hmm, ok, just making sure it wasn't something on my end
[04:50] <xav> !fud > Jack_Sparrow
[04:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fud - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:50] <termleech> i tried three different connections and had the same results with all of them, so i figured it wasn't me
[04:50] <jbmigel> hey what package for nfs client?
[04:50] <safir> !hostname
[04:50] <ubotu> Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly
[04:50] <safir> !domainname
[04:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about domainname - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:50] <jbmigel> !nfs
[04:50] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[04:50] <DJGummikuh> any recommendations about ubuntu in VMWare?!
[04:50] <DJGummikuh> I allways crash when trying to install
[04:51] <Gaz> thanks :)
[04:51] <DJGummikuh> !vmware
[04:51] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[04:51] <Gaz> now i have this script how do i run it?
[04:51] <DJGummikuh> !ubuntu vmware
[04:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu vmware - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:51] <safir> how can i set the correct domainname in ubuntu?
[04:51] <lupine_85> Gaz: once you've done the chmod thing, you can just click on it
[04:52] <lupine_85> so symlink or move it to your desktop
[04:52] <DJGummikuh> is there ANY flag where I can install 6.06 LTS without this graphical installer? something like the old debian ncurses installer?
[04:52] <lupine_85> (it's a bit of a hackish solution, but it works :) )
[04:52] <kendals> Any ideas how to get the linux-dri-modules-common package?
[04:52] <lupine_85> DJGummikuh: download and use the alternative install CD
[04:52] <lupine_85> it's a 700MB "flag", but it works ;)
[04:52] <kendals> sudo apt-get install linux-dri-modules-common
[04:52] <kendals>  says it isn't there...
[04:52] <kendals> :(
[04:53] <DJGummikuh> lupine_85: hehe
[04:53] <DJGummikuh> I don't really want to use ubuntu myself (I'm quite happy with gentoo) but a friend of mine just takes his first steps using ubuntu and I need to help him ^^
[04:53] <Gaz> no such file :(
[04:53] <Gaz> internet.txt
[04:54] <lupine_85> Gaz: where did you save internet.txt to?
[04:54] <Jack_Sparrow> DJGummikuh: Why does he not want to use the standard installer?
[04:54] <Gaz> ... /home/gary
[04:54] <ladydoor> Jack_Sparrow: many people find too much graphiks distasteful
[04:55] <DJGummikuh> Jack_Sparrow: because my whole system freezes when VMware tries to render it
[04:55] <DJGummikuh> it's wicked slow without the vmwares tool extension
[04:55] <Jack_Sparrow> ladydoor: Agreed, but just wanted to find out if he was having a problem using it or chose not to use it.
[04:55] <ladydoor> Jack_Sparrow: fair enough :-)
[04:55] <Adam> Hi. I just installed XvMC on my Dapper. Why don't I see it in MPlayer's dropdown of available drivers?
[04:55] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[04:55] <lupine_85> ok, first "mv /home/gary/internet.txt /home/gary/Desktop/internet.sh"
[04:55] <diego_cl> hi
[04:56] <diego_cl> who can tell me why cant I see the computers from my workgroup ?!?!?!
[04:56] <lupine_85> then "chmod a+x /home/gary/Desktop/internet.txt"
[04:56] <lupine_85> erm, internet.sh rather
[04:56] <DJGummikuh> what should happen when I click on "install"?
[04:56] <DJGummikuh> I mean should tehre be a window opened or what ?
[04:57] <Trackilizer> I have a daul monitor setup, but i can't login, because my mouse is on the left monitor and the login screen on the right, i can't drag the mouse to the other side. Is there anyway to fix this?
[04:57] <lupine_85> DJGummikuh: it opens a silly 6-step installer
[04:57] <DJGummikuh> do I need to single or double-click it?
[04:57] <kendals> sudo apt-get install linux-dri-modules-common
[04:57] <kendals>  says it isn't there...- any ideas how to get it to install?
[04:57] <DJGummikuh> I have SUCH a lag its not fun :)
[04:57] <Gaz> cannot start '/home/gary/internet.txt' no such file
[04:57] <Adam> Ah, nvm, found it :)
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> DJGummikuh: LAg in part may be due to running live cd
[04:57] <lupine_85> then it's not saved to /home/gary/internet.txt
[04:58] <DJGummikuh> Jack_Sparrow: its a disk image
[04:58] <DJGummikuh> so it should be at HDD speed ^^
[04:58] <Gaz> accoring to konqueror, it is
[04:58] <lupine_85> ok, drag it to your desktop
[04:58] <lupine_85> (move if it asks)
[04:59] <lupine_85> then rename it to .sh
[04:59] <azathoth> chmod is +x
[04:59] <azathoth> *it
[04:59] <Gaz> okay :)
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> DJGummikuh: I dont understand what all you are trying to do..  SO you are not just running live trying to get it to install on the hard drive you are doing something else
[05:00] <DJGummikuh> Jack_Sparrow: ?
[05:00] <DJGummikuh> Jack_Sparrow: I AM
[05:00] <DJGummikuh> but not on my native hardware
[05:00] <DJGummikuh> Im trying to install it inside a VMWare Virtual Machine
[05:00] <Gaz> so now chmod a+x ~/internet.sh ?
[05:00] <DJGummikuh> therefore I'm not forced to burn the cd but can access the image as an installation medium directly, saving me a disc AND time (normally)
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> DJGummikuh: Someone else may have answers..

[05:02] <bluescreen> hello, can someone here tell me how to run a logitech usb headset on ubuntu dapper ?
[05:02] <Gaz> i am still in /home/gary, how do i acces using console /home/gary/deskop ?
[05:02] <kendals> bluescreen, i also have that logitech headset.
[05:02] <kendals> well, mine is just a microphone- go to the forums and do a search for ak5370
[05:02] <kendals> it should bring up some helpful threads for you to get it all working :)
[05:03] <dsatch> kendals: I get the same error as you when installing that package
[05:03] <bluescreen> i have this model for ps2
[05:03] <bintut> any gui ipsec client you can recommend for ubuntu dapper?
[05:03] <lupine_85> well, it'd be ~/Desktop/internet.sh now
[05:03] <bluescreen> its shown as dsp2 but on audacity i cant record anything
[05:03] <kendals> thanks dsatch. i'll let you know if i find a solution, so stya in here :P
[05:04] <lupine_85> you can do it using the file browser as well - right-click->properties
[05:04] <kendals> bluescreen- if it's ps2, then i'm not 100% sure- you did say logitech usb headset ;)
[05:04] <dsatch> kendals: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1180481&postcount=967
[05:04] <kendals> yeah saw that one :(
[05:04] <kendals> btw, how do you whisper to someone?
[05:05] <Gaz> so how do i run this script?
[05:05] <lupine_85> once it's +x, just double-click on it
[05:05] <dsatch> kendals test
[05:05] <dsatch> lol... nope, that's not how to whisper :)
[05:05] <kendals> loll
[05:05] <kendals> you got my name whispered...
[05:05] <kendals> but not the 'test bit
[05:06] <kendals> i'm using opera for irc, so no idea here...
[05:06] <Mr0bviou1> kendals: /query username message
[05:06] <DJGummikuh> ah lol I found the problem
[05:06] <Gaz> how do i make it +x?
[05:06] <kendals> ahhh, thanks mr. obvious :P
[05:06] <azathoth> you just did
[05:06] <DJGummikuh> I only had 160mb of memory reserved for ubunut - no wonder the graphical installer failed
[05:06] <azathoth> chmod it
[05:06] <Mr0bviou1> You're welcome.
[05:06] <azathoth> or right click, select properties and goto the permissions tab... then select 'execute'
[05:07] <dsatch> kendals: did you add the xgl repositorie?
[05:07] <Jack_Sparrow> DJGummikuh: Glad you found the problem...
[05:08] <kendals> dsatch, did you see my message?
[05:08] <gui> show users;
[05:08] <gui> quit
[05:09] <kendals> (dsatch, ok, i'll talk in here until i have time to register my nick)
[05:09] <kendals> yeah, i installed it
[05:09] <kendals> just found a site now- i'll link you it in a sec :)
[05:09] <kendals> looks promising
[05:09] <bluescreen> kendals: i found a solution but then i have the problem that i have this nvidia onboard card , the audiogy card i use and the usb headset. Can i use my headset for recording and playing sound on the audigy at the same time?
[05:09] <dsatch> kendals: yeap cool, I found one too ;)
[05:10] <dsatch> kendals: if you add those repositories and refresh the packages it should give them to you
[05:10] <kendals> bluescreen, you can, but it's messy- AFAIR, I followed the instructions on those forum pages- let me find them for you- took a bit of fiddling too....
[05:10] <kendals> because dapper doesn't seem to like multiple sound devices...
[05:10] <Adam> anyone knows everything about powernowd (the AMD cool & quiet daemon)?  do I need to do any special configurations to it, or is it enough that it is running?
[05:10] <Gaz> and it works :D
[05:10] <Jack_Sparrow> kendals: check out alsa
[05:11] <Gaz> brilliant stuff :)
[05:11] <kendals> jack- using alsa atm, but it wasn't easy at first ;)
[05:11] <kendals> not like the brochure promised, lol.
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[05:11] <dsatch> speaking of sound, does anyone hear sounds in Thunderbird? It's the only thing I can't get to make noise
[05:11] <Gaz> thanks especially lupine, you've all been great helps :)
[05:11] <kendals> i do! :)
[05:11] <lupine_85> np :)
[05:12] <bluescreen> here are my soundcards http://nopaste.php-q.net/238915
[05:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Nice work lupine_85
[05:12] <kendals> thunderbird just uses the default sound device- in this case, ALSA's default output device (onboard soundcard i have in my laptop)
[05:13] <Gaz> very nice work :)
[05:13] <Adam> how do I know which kernel version I'm running?
[05:13] <bluescreen> uname -r
[05:13] <dsatch> uname -r
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> uname -a should do it
[05:13] <dsatch> lol
[05:13] <bluescreen> :)
[05:13] <Adam> thanks
[05:13] <Adam> haha, I'm on 2.6, I must be very cool
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> HAd to be different didnt I
[05:14] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, yes
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Morning ompaul
[05:14] <dsatch> kendals: yeah that's what I thought, which just makes it weird
[05:14] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, almost feeding time here
[05:14] <LeonWP> hi
[05:14] <LeonWP> how do I get sudo work with rsa keys?
[05:14] <Adam> do the Linux kernel developers need to rewrite a lot of stuff for the AMD64 kernel?
[05:15] <LeonWP> s/get/make
[05:15] <bluescreen> hmm i tried this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=64720&highlight=ak5370
[05:15] <bluescreen> but still no recording visible in audacity
[05:15] <Jack_Sparrow> ompaul: BBL,  I have to get some work done here... Play nice everyone
[05:16] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, take it easy
[05:16] <LeonWP> hm.. is it even possible to make sudo work with keys?
[05:17] <CosmoDad> is there any way to edit WMV files under Ubuntu?
[05:17] <Skaag> i'm running ubuntu on an external USB drive, it works fine but now I have an internal SATA drive, what's the simplest way to move it as-is to the new drive?

[05:17] <paolob> Hi guys! What about X broken after yesterday's dapper's security dist-upgrade
[05:17] <ompaul> CosmoDad, please read the message from the channel bot thanks

[05:17] <CosmoDad> ompaul: I will, thx
[05:17] <stir> i keep getting this error - sudo: unable to lookup  via gethostbyname()
[05:17] <ompaul> paolob, please take your time
[05:18] <paolob> ompaul, ?!?What do you mean?
[05:18] <ompaul> paolob, hitting enter -= and ? does not get you answered faster
[05:18] <azathoth> you posted three lines very close to each other
[05:18] <ompaul> LeonWP, so ehh what do you mean?
[05:19] <Neo8750> should i go apply now or wait a little bit?
[05:19] <stir> does anyone know know what this means sudo: unable to lookup  via gethostbyname()
[05:19] <Skaag> stir: how do you all sudo?
[05:19] <Skaag> call
[05:19] <LeonWP> ompaul, I want sudo use root's rsa key to allow me authenticate

[05:19] <ompaul> LeonWP, you can run it in a terminal, Applications Accessories Terminal and use for that sudo -i you should be yourself for your own rsa key
[05:19] <stir> no its always been stir
[05:20] <stir> i mean admin00
[05:20] <paolob> After yesterday's dapper's dist-upgrade I have X broken: gdm doesn't login: the X server dies. Is there a workaround?
[05:20] <Dr_Willis> paolob,  perhaos reinstall the nvidia or ati drivers.
[05:20] <Dru> not another dodgy update :o
[05:21] <Tjoels> wheres the standard directory for installing programs in ubuntu?
[05:21] <lupine_85> Tjoels: depends :)
[05:21] <Tjoels> aha
[05:21] <lupine_85> most binaries end up in /usr/bin
[05:21] <stir> azathoth: its allways been admin00 but then i type users it comes up with admin00@:~$ users
[05:21] <stir> admin00 admin00 admin00
[05:21] <Tjoels> well, err i am to specify the path myself......
[05:22] <Dr_Willis> installing programs in 'linux' :P
[05:22] <lupine_85> 3rd-party stuff that needs it's own directory structure generally goes into /opt/subdir
[05:22] <ompaul> paolob, >> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg << that allows you to choose the driver for your card
[05:22] <enquest> is there a way to see how many time a certain file has been accesed
[05:22] <azathoth> stir: i think something bad has happened to your hostname
[05:22] <Tjoels> lupine_85: thx
[05:22] <azathoth> i got that error when i changed my pc name
[05:22] <enquest> Every time a file is called I wan't to increment a number?
[05:22] <azathoth> did rebooting help?
[05:23] <ompaul> Tjoels, you know that Ubuntu has almost 20k packages
[05:23] <stir> azathoth: is there anyway to fix it?
[05:23] <lupine_85> enquest: replace the file with a script?
[05:23] <azathoth> stir: well if it doesn't get fixed on a reboot, i'm not sure
[05:23] <azathoth> a reboot fixed my issues
[05:24] <Tjoels> ompaul: well, i didnt know the exact number.. but i was asking for like a dir to install realplayer in, cause it tells me to specify it myself
[05:24] <paolob> ompaul, do you mean that xserver-xorg is desconfigured after the dist-upgrade?
[05:24] <jhasse> Why   `   +  e   don't go together???
[05:24] <stir> azathoth: i have reboot sevral times
[05:24] <enquest> lupine_85, No that is not possible... I want to know how many views the file had... the file must be intact...
[05:24] <ompaul> paolob, you did a distupgrade to what?
[05:24] <jhasse> (same with ^ + a)
[05:24] <azathoth> can't help you then... you checked on the forums yes?
[05:24] <lupine_85> enquest: in that case you're going to have some trouble
[05:24] <lupine_85> without a wrapper of some sort, it's impossible
[05:24] <ompaul> !realplayer > Tjoels
[05:24] <paolob> ompaul, almost all days I dist-update and dist-upgrade
[05:25] <ompaul> Tjoels, read the message from ubout
[05:25] <stir> azathoth: how do you go about deleting you hostname or creating a new one
[05:25] <ompaul> Tjoels, read the message from ubotu even
[05:25] <ompaul> paolob, what version of ubuntu are you using
[05:25] <paolob> ompaul, dapper
[05:26] <jhasse> why can't i write ^ +a ????
[05:26] <ompaul> paolob, you don't need to run dist-upgrade unless you are changing versions - it is just a sudo apt-get update&& sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:26] <azathoth> is your keybaord setup right jhasse ???????????????????????????????????????????
[05:26] <Tjoels> ompaul, thx
[05:26] <mrj> hi
[05:27] <jhasse> azahoth, i have checked it to german, which is correct.
[05:27] <paolob> ompaul, do you think that the dist-upgrade could have broken X?
[05:27] <ompaul> paolob, >> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg << now please run that and pick the right driver for your video card
[05:27] <Tjoels> ompaul: are you trying to get me to use an alternative to realplayer?

[05:40] <paolob> anyone has problems with X server after yesterday security upgrade?
[05:40] <movieman> is there a way to remove software from ubuntu desktop like the games on default install and bittorrent WITHOUT removing the ubuntu-desktop
[05:40] <sparkleytone> i'm getting the absolute WORST download rates from the us.archive.ubuntu.com mirrors
[05:40] <jbmigel> Jenga, wow thats pretty new, if your having troubles with it maybe talk to linus
[05:41] <Jenga> jbmigel: His phone was pretty busy
[05:41] <jbmigel> Jenga heh i bet
[05:41] <erUSUL> Jenga: kernels from kernel.org doesn't have all the drivers the ubuntu one has...
[05:41] <Jenga> jbmigel: He told me you might help though
[05:41] <ompaul> Jenga, this is not the channel for support with that, we only support the stable versions of Ubuntu, you do have an option in #ubuntu+1 but I think that is only for edgy not kernel.org kernels
[05:42] <manjo> 64
[05:42] <movieman> also im running brezzy version
[05:42] <Jenga> ompaul: Sorry. I'll try another channel then

[05:42] <sparkleytone> does anyone have urls for repositories that aren't dog-slow?
[05:42] <ompaul> Jenga, not for vanilla kernels though
[05:43] <sparkleytone> i'm getting about...6k/sec
[05:43] <ompaul> sparkleytone, where is your machine pointing?
[05:43] <Tjoels> ok, thanks
[05:43] <sparkleytone> ompaul: tried both us.archive and archive.
[05:43] <movieman> sparkleytone does anyone have urls for repositories that aren't dog-slow?
[05:43] <sparkleytone> ompaul: i generally get ~1.5MB/sec from the repos...as in megabytes
[05:43] <Jenga> ompaul: Roger. I'm not game to try the edy stuff
[05:43] <movieman> if ur not in the us change it to gb
[05:43] <ompaul> sparkleytone, change to ie. and see if that is faster
[05:43] <sparkleytone> i am in the us
[05:44] <Lionheart82> hi folks, how do i tell OpenOffice to autocorrect in german language ? thanx

[05:44] <ompaul> Lionheart82, ask in #ubuntu-de perhaps
[05:44] <movieman> try them
[05:44] <lupine_85> Lionheart82: just switch to the german dictionary?
[05:45] <Lionheart82> where i dont find ?

[05:46] <erUSUL> Lionheart82: make sure you have the openoffice.org-l10n-de (it gets installed with the language-support metapackages iirc)
[05:46] <sparkleytone> ompaul: odd...i think its just one of the repo mirrors that come up in the dig...too bad i don't know which one
