[04:50] <Rookie_> just ask the Q
[04:50] <heroin> i have 2 login attempts every 3seconds for the last day
[04:50] <heroin> Oct  7 15:20:43 drake vsftpd: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:50] <heroin> Oct  7 15:20:49 drake vsftpd: (pam_unix) check pass; user unknown
[04:50] <heroin> a lot of things like these
[04:51] <heroin> so how do i ban some one from trying to login
[04:51] <MissLady> dfree-m okay nice, i didn't know i'm new in linux world :)
[04:51] <Rookie_> thats not an hack the the server, thats an attempt to get into the ftpd
[04:51] <heroin> ROokie_ so is this a problem or not?
[04:51] <heroin> Rookie_ is this a problem or not? iam very concerned atm :)
[04:52] <Gabby_Hayes> dfree-m  .. is gaim compatible with  Yahoo IM  ?
[04:52] <Rookie_> Yes, fptd is evol - but within every ftpd you can spec. who can connect ....and if they get in they get what that user have ...
[04:52] <MissLady> dfree-m have a nice day, i'll try what you told me :)
[04:52] <Ciaus> Gabby_Hayes, Yes
[04:52] <Gabby_Hayes> thxs
[04:53] <Ciaus> annd sametime too
[04:53] <Rookie_> check your *.conf file and set the right users to have the permissions to login, set no anonymous too
[04:54] <heroin> Rookie_ how can i ban this 1 IP adress?
[04:54] <heroin> or is this within some conf file for vsftp?
[04:54] <Rookie_> you can do that within your firewall
[04:54] <Rookie_> but i would report him to his isp
[04:55] <Rookie_> send the logfile too to the isp as proof
[04:55] <Woos876> Hi. when the next version of ubuntu will be available ?
[04:55] <yell8w>  !firewall

[04:55] <yell8w>  hey guys what's a good GUI for a firewall
[04:55] <yell8w>  uhm iptables
[04:55] <LjL> !shorewall
[04:55] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line) or firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing)
[04:56] <yell8w>  ok so firestarter it is then
[04:56] <LjL> "probably"
[04:57] <Azid0> i updated to the new ati driver, from sypnatic, now the X is not loading  and im getting this message (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

[04:58] <yell8w>  hhmmm so i won't have to configure programs access and such as with windows ?
[04:58] <heroin> Rookie_ how do i ban him from my firewall iam host a very small network server with only port 21 open for FTP :S
[04:58] <aFx> http://nb.sakuragi.org/~sakuragi/desktop/Beryl.avi <---  this is desktop of Ubuntu
[04:59] <Rookie_> use iptables - use "DENY"
[04:59] <heroin> Rookie can u PM me?
[04:59] <Rookie_> nope, no time for pm too
[04:59] <Rookie_> to many channels for that
[05:00] <heroin> Rookie_ ok so how do i start my IP tables?

[05:02] <treora> Hola
[05:02] <valehru> Whats the best program to use that is like google desktop?  i.e. search contents of files etc?
[05:03] <CaptainMorgan> system -> find
[05:03] <linuxphotogeek> Valehru - deskbar
[05:03] <mnepton> or try Beagle
[05:04] <ompaul> treora, you got a new provider yet?
[05:04] <ompaul> woops sorry offtopic
[05:04] <heroin> Rookie_ i will read up on all this but how do i ban the ip adress of <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[05:04] <dyn-afk> deskbar with beagle will do valehru :)
[05:04] <spuddogg> Does anyone know if Ubuntu can handle USB 2.0?  I remember back in my Winblows days that if I had a device that was USB 2.0 and plugged it into a regular USB port, the OS would just tell me that it will not run as fast as possible.  Now, in Ubuntu, I have a USB 2.0 device, and it will not work at all, as my laptop is old and does not have USB 2.0
[05:04] <treora> what would cause a fresh install to see the local router but not beyond where other machines on the LAN can?
[05:05] <ompaul> spuddogg, usb 2 should work I have seen it work
[05:05] <Dr_Fate> anyone using the transparencies with their xgl?
[05:05] <Rookie_> heroin - you can do that by 2 ways, either in the conf file of the ftpd or by the firewall, banning within the ftpd will only ban him/her from the ftpd but to ban by the firewall will ban him from your entire system
[05:05] <spuddogg> ompaul: The thing is, my laptop does not have USB 2.0
[05:05] <treora> spuddogg - I have a usb device hooked up to it at the mo
[05:05] <spuddogg> treora: is it a USB 2.0 device?
[05:05] <yell8w>  hmmm how would i know that the firewall is running
[05:06] <treora> yep
[05:06] <yell8w>  i don't see any thing in system monitor
[05:06] <Azid0> i updated to the new ati propietary drivers from sypnatic, now the Xserver is not loading  and im getting this message (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
[05:06] <spuddogg> treora: does your computer advertise USB 2.0 though?  My laptop is old and it does not
[05:06] <heroin> Rookie_ how can i do the whole system?
[05:07] <heroin> Rookie_ with iptables *?
[05:07] <Rookie_> i have done that this way
[05:07] <Rookie_> $IPT -A FORWARD -s <ip_to_ban>/13 -d $INTIP -j DROP
[05:07] <treora> It was a XP box that took usb 2.0 devices and is now ubuntu
[05:08] <ompaul> spuddogg, talk to the maker of the device to ask them how to get it to drop down to talk with 1.1
[05:08] <apokryphos> a simple iptables -I INPUT -s {IPADD} -j DROP should do it
[05:09] <apokryphos> and s/-I/-D/ to drop the ban
[05:09] <Rookie_> so if you like you can do it this way right now - /path_to_iptables -A FORWARD -s <IP_ADDRESS> -d your_ip -j DROP
[05:09] <heroin> apokryphos ur confusing me :)
[05:09] <apokryphos> heroin: which part's confusing?
[05:10] <heroin> apokryphos iam a very VERY modest small network admin who has a TINY ftp homerun server and its being hacked
[05:10] <heroin> and i dont know my path to my IP tables
[05:10] <apokryphos> heroin: iptables is in your PATH already, you don't need to know it
[05:10] <Ampsonic> quick question, what is the command to check to see if ubuntu is finding both cores of my processor?
[05:11] <OXIj> Hallo. Any one knows GPL online action game? (not Nexuiz)
[05:11] <savvas> um does ubuntu include nvidia graphics drivers?
[05:11] <ompaul> !nvidia > savvas
[05:11] <apokryphos> savvas: please read the FAQ
[05:11] <ompaul> savvas, that is how you deal with nvidia un Ubuntu (the message from the bot)
[05:11] <savvas> danke :P
[05:12] <Rookie_> type follow line ; /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -s <IP_ADDRESS> -d  <IP_ADDRESS> -j DROP
[05:12] <Tru7h> Arafangion: Xubuntu didn't work, either. It wouldn't even boot up as far as Ubuntu did; it locks up and says "buffer I/O error on device HDD".
[05:12] <Rookie_> afk
[05:12] <heroin>  IPT -A FORWARD -s <IP_ADDRESS> -d <IP_ADDRESS> -j DROP <-- so this would ban IP 83.* from connecting to 82*

[05:12] <heroin> ok thanks rookie
[05:13] <Rookie_> you ban him/her from your ssytem, he or she can still apear in your log but he can not access your server on anyway with that ip
[05:13] <Hoxzer> can I somehow make shell script to "press" buttons?
[05:13] <heroin> Rookie_ thanks. i never thought anyone was going to hack my system
[05:13] <profoX`> my gtk themes dont want to change anymore... they change some settings, but the menubar, scrollbar, buttons stay the same...
[05:14] <Ampsonic> how can I check how many cores my system is using?
[05:14] <heroin> Rookie_ and apokryphos thanks
[05:14] <gnomefreak> Hoxzer: what do you mean press buttons?
[05:15] <aris> hi people
[05:15] <Led_Zeppelin> how do I control start up processes in Ubuntu?
[05:15] <KDan> heroin: running a tiny server will not protect you from being hacked by random skiddies
[05:15] <Led_Zeppelin> Is there a tool? or is there a document on how to configure rc.d processes?
[05:15] <heroin> Kdan yah :( SAD SAD people sometimes, and i only have port 21 open
[05:16] <KDan> how do you know that? have you set up your iptables to keep only that open?
[05:16] <heroin> Kdan you know of a deamon which will email me log reports
[05:16] <jonduf> Hi, I am going through a kernel module tutorial and am having trouble compiling it. gcc complains that I do not have linux/module.h in my include directory. I checked and it is indeed not there, I search all through synaptic to find the package that might have this file and can not find it. Does anyone know what I need to apt-get?
[05:16] <aris> i'm trying to copy my files to a lan rsync server... rsync aris/ aris@<IP_ADDRESS>::/media/hda1/ doesn't work.. it says it misses a module. But i want *not* to use ssh
[05:16] <Rookie_> with nmap you can check what ports are open
[05:16] <KDan> heroin: swatch is a log monitoring tool
[05:16] <heroin> Kdan i have a hardware firewall which honly forwards port 21
[05:16] <kishore> Led_Zeppelin, install bum --startup manager
[05:16] <KDan> heroin: hw firewall or a router?
[05:16] <Led_Zeppelin> kishore: no bum in for AMD64
[05:17] <heroin> KDAn router
[05:17] <Led_Zeppelin> apt-cache search bum
[05:17] <Led_Zeppelin> shows nothing
[05:17] <Hoxzer> gnomefreak: nail requires "ctrl+D" to send a mail and I want it to send it automatically by the script
[05:17] <jokoon> Is there custom icons packs for ubuntu ? If I want to replace with silk from famfamfam.com how do I do ?
[05:17] <kishore> oh
[05:17] <kishore> enable universe repositories and try
[05:17] <gnomefreak> i dont see why not but i have never wrote a script for that
[05:17] <heroin> Kdan swatch can also email me some report and alert when multi  failed logins accour?
[05:17] <KDan> heroin: then suggest you sort your iptables so that you indeed do drop everything that's supposed to be closed, no matter if it's not supposed to come through the router
[05:17] <kishore> Led_Zeppelin, enable unvierse repositories and check ones
[05:18] <minerale> does anyone here listen to "Wait Wait Don't tell me" -- An NPR show? I know they have a podcast and it's available through itunes... but is there someway I can subscribe to the podcast in ubuntu?
[05:18] <jimbi> is there a faster pdf readerthan the default?
[05:18] <KDan> heroin: afaik swatch can do pretty much anything you want it, but it takes effort
[05:18] <heroin> Kdan i would but i will read up on this sometime
[05:18] <heroin> Kdan effort is ok my gf is playing Call Of Duty anyway :P
[05:18] <KDan> good luck :-)
[05:18] <Led_Zeppelin> kishore: okay, but these packages aren't supported by Ubuntu team
[05:18] <KDan> lol
[05:18] <yell8w>  xpdf ?
[05:18] <kishore> Led_Zeppelin, hey.. no probs with it
[05:18] <Led_Zeppelin> kishore: ok
[05:19] <Led_Zeppelin> kishore: its there.thanks
[05:19] <heroin> Kdan i was just a bit shocked cuz i have this dutch magazine and they were talking about security tips for a root server and well who knew i was beeing tested :)
[05:19] <KDan> heroin: welcome to the endless futile arms-race
[05:19] <Tru7h> Should I get amd64 or i386?
[05:20] <jimbi> Thanks yell, possably Id better just look around
[05:20] <heroin> KDan yah :) well i just have a small FTP server dont care to much about it but i dont want network to suffer when people are downloading from it :P

[05:22] <GreG36> Jus makin sure... ;)
[05:23] <Tru7h> aTypical: There is. But out of all 974, nobody can tell me whether I should download i386 or amd64. :P
[05:23] <GreG36> Alright, Ive been looking everywhere. I installed a package for adobe flash player.
[05:23] <aTypical> Tru7h, what kind of processor do you have?
[05:23] <GreG36> MY friend told me to use the Synaptic thing to install it, but it wont show up.
[05:23] <haffe> Hello. I have some troubles installing ubuntu. Grub as default seems to install to /dev/hda, however /dev/hda on my machine is a dvd-RW. Earlier on the installer asked where to install grub, but that does no longer seem to be the case. What should I do about it?
[05:24] <kmasta> GreG36, are you on an AMD64 platform?
[05:24] <GreG36> Yes.
[05:24] <Tru7h> aTypical: Intel, I forget which specifically.

[05:24] <aTypical> Tru7h, if you have an Intel processor you want the i386 download
[05:25] <Tru7h> aTypical: Thanks.

[05:25] <Micksa> okay, so for some reason my laptop has an idle hdd spindown timeout of about 5s
[05:25] <Micksa> it's too short. where should I be looking to fix that?
[05:27] <aTypical> Tru7h, what
[05:27] <jester45> could anyone please help me make a dvd from a MPG the mpg video file conforms to ntsc
[05:27] <aTypical> Tru7h, what's the problem you're having?
[05:28] <ryan__> Howdy
[05:28] <jester45> hi
[05:28] <Tru7h> I'm trying to install from a live CD. Ubuntu boots up pretty well, all the way to the desktop, but once that little button in the bottom-left corner appears, it seems to halt.
[05:28] <Tru7h> I figured there wasn't enough memory, so I tried Xubuntu... that halts in the boot process saying "buffer I/O error on device HDD".
[05:29] <Tru7h> @aTypical
[05:29] <aTypical> Hmm.  Sorry, but I've not experienced that kind of error while trying to install.
[05:29] <Tru7h> That's okay, thanks for the help. :)
[05:30] <aTypical> I'm sure someone in here will be able to help you.
[05:30] <Tru7h> Probably, but they're hiding right now. :P
[05:30] <aTypical> Yeah.
[05:31] <aTypical> :-)
[05:31] <ryan__> I wasnt even aware you could install from the live disk.
[05:31] <jimbi> I have strange problem with the hard drive, I have one file on a partition when i ask ubuntu the size of the file there is a large diffence between it's size and the space used on disk, how can i fix this?
[05:31] <krang> A'ight, I need to install WinXP on my Ubuntu box (sorry, but it has to be done), and was wondering what it is likely to do. I assume it'll break grub and put in it's own bootloader which doesn't mention linux. How would I reinstall grub after I'm done?
[05:31] <GreG36> kmasta: i jus tried to run the installer in terminal, like the instructions indicate and it gave me an error.
[05:32] <GreG36> kmasta: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the
[05:32] <GreG36>        Macromedia Flash Player installer.
[05:32] <KDan> heroin: don't bother with that... it's probably not even the polish guy who's hararssing your server - probably he got hacked by the guy who's harassing your server
[05:32] <mnepton> Tru7h: try burning the CD again at no more than 4x speed
[05:32] <kmasta> GreG36, just follow the instuctions as close as you can
[05:32] <Tru7h> mnepton: I'll try that. I believe this CD worked in other computers, though I can't be sure.
[05:33] <GreG36> kmasta: they said to navigate to the directory, and i did. then it said to type the command line ./flashplayer-installer.
[05:33] <jester45> ryan__: thats why the live cd is for testing it then to install
[05:33] <minerale> does anyone here listen to "Wait Wait Don't tell me" -- An NPR show? I know they have a podcast and it's available through itunes... but is there someway I can subscribe to the podcast in ubuntu?
[05:33] <Ampsoni1> anyone here know anything about "network manager"?
[05:33] <minerale> or rather- how can I subscribe to podcasts in ubuntu
[05:33] <kmasta> GreG36, don't they also say something about ignoring the message of "wrong acrchitecture"

[05:35] <jimbi> ok is there a tool to fix the partition table?
[05:35] <LSD`> probably a n00b question but I don't really care at this point since I'm || this close to nuking Ubuntu, but why does sudo reject a root password I know I'm entering 100% correctly?
[05:35] <Rookie_> gparted
[05:35] <Rookie_> !gparted
[05:35] <ubotu> gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[05:36] <Xappe> LSD`: you should use your regular password with sudo
[05:36] <LSD`> Xappe: it rejects that too
[05:37] <Micksa> what does it mean if you go "/etc/init.d/laptop-mode stop; hdparm -S 0 /dev/sda" and your hard drive still spins down all the time?
[05:37] <jimbi> Thanks rookie_, we will see
[05:37] <Xappe> LSD`: are you a member of the admin group then? I think only the first user created during installation is added to admin
[05:38] <LSD`> Xappe: there is only one other user and I'm pretty sure it was created along with the install. I'll check anyway if its in the admin group
[05:38] <Jackofalltrades> Hello
[05:38] <javi_> thanks you, finally I apt-get source nautilus and rebuild it, it works fine with dpkg -i
[05:38] <Ampsoni1> dumb question, ubuntu is gnome or KDE?

[05:39] <archville> Hi.

[05:39] <Jackofalltrades> How do I find what directory my VLC player is in?
[05:39] <jimbi> Amp i think it's KDE
[05:39] <josh_> hello all. is there a chat for ftp does anyone know?
[05:39] <gh0st333> test
[05:39] <josh_> or does anyone in here happen to use proftpd?
[05:40] <kmasta> GreG36, make sure you typed your command in correctly, I commonly miss the second "l" when typing "install"
[05:40] <GreG36> kmasta, I copied and pasted the command from the website you gave me. Is that a no-no?
[05:40] <StellarPrince> hi
[05:40] <josh_> Jackofalltrades: probably in /usr/bin || /usr/sbin
[05:41] <josh_> or /usr/share/bin
[05:41] <kmasta> GreG36, sometimes there are formating issues
[05:41] <StellarPrince> what is the default CPU governator?
[05:41] <GreG36> kmasta, okie.
[05:42] <LSD`> Xappe: I have no "admin" group on my system exactly, is "adm" the right group?
[05:42] <Jackofalltrades> AH ha. there it is thanks
[05:42] <josh_> np
[05:43] <Xappe> LSD`: hmm, you should have an admin group
[05:43] <Jackofalltrades> for future referance how would I search for something?
[05:43] <Ciaus> Jackofalltrades, locate works pretty weel for me
[05:43] <Ciaus> well*
[05:43] <LSD`> Xappe: cat /etc/group | grep admin only return lpadmin
[05:43] <aTypical> Jackofalltrades, slocate is also good.  ;-)
[05:43] <heroin> where is the config file for swatch
[05:44] <Xappe> LSD`: by default users that belong to the admin group is allowed to use sudo
[05:44] <LjL> heroin: i don't know, perhaps type "dpkg -L swatch" and see if you can find it.
[05:44] <heroin> ok
[05:45] <Jackofalltrades> hmm...nether did anything.
[05:45] <LSD`> Xappe: for some reason, there is no admin group on this system. It's a 6.06 LTS "Dapper Drake" system if that means anything
[05:45] <GreG36> kmasta, I dunno what I'm doing wrong, but it still keeps having errors.
[05:45] <Xappe> LSD`: i'm using both dapper and edgy, and both have the admin group. You maybe could try to add that group by booting as single user
[05:46] <kmasta> GreG36, keep messing around with it, it took me a day or two to get everything to work right, actually I still don't have things working perfectly
[05:46] <patconnexion> test
[05:46] <Xappe> LSD`: and add yourself to that group
[05:46] <minerale> is edgy eft still going to use GRUB legacy, or are they switching to grub2 ?
[05:46] <swamytk> Hi, I am new to IRC. this is my first ever IRC chat
[05:46] <LSD`> Xappe: why boot to single usewr mode? o.O
[05:47] <Xappe> LSD`: if you don't have root access
[05:47] <GreG36> kmasta, Lol. All I want to do is view videos and get rid of the plug-in messages on web sites.
[05:47] <milosevic> congrats? :P
[05:47] <kmasta> yea
[05:47] <LjL> minerale: the package description talks about "research project", "EXPERIMENTAL", and that sort of things. so not very soon, i'd assue.
[05:47] <kmasta> GreG, I can watch you-tube so I'm happy for the most part
[05:47] <LSD`> Xappe: ungimping root access was one of the first things I did ;)
[05:47] <milosevic> i can watch youtube too
[05:47] <milosevic> but spikedhumor.com always gives me problem with flash
[05:48] <Xappe> LSD`: then you don't need to boot to single user
[05:48] <weirdolino> hi. i have a problem with the ubuntu dapper desktop cd. i installed from that cd on 2 different pcs before but on my new pc it won't boot. when it gets to the point "mounting root file system" it hangs and returns: "hda: ide_intr: huh? expected NULL handle on exit". my pc: pentium 4 3.2GHz, board is an asus p5gpl. can anyone help me?
[05:48] <Xappe> ;P
[05:48] <maxLF> How do you install the source package of wine?
[05:48] <milosevic> so I download the video and play it from my machine :P
[05:49] <LjL> maxLF: you *get and build it* it by typing "sudo apt-get -b source wine". then, if the compile goes well, a binary package will appear, which you can install with dpkg ("dpkg -i nameofpackage.deb")
[05:49] <LSD`> Xappe: manually adding it didn't work, what's the GID on the group supposed to be?
[05:49] <maxLF> thanks LjL
[05:49] <Xappe> LSD`: mine is admin:x:113:jon
[05:49] <LjL> maxLF: if you want to install the needed dependencies automatically, you can also type "sudo apt-get build-dep wine"
[05:49] <LSD`> Xappe: let me try that
[05:50] <heroin> i cant find the freaky swatch config file
[05:50] <maxLF> LjL: I'm trying to get World Of Warcraft to work in Linux, and it says it needs the source version of wine, and  I did what you told me to sudo apt-get -b source wine and it gave me an error
[05:51] <maxLF> max@trogdor:~$ sudo apt-get -b source wine
[05:51] <maxLF> Reading package lists... Done
[05:51] <maxLF> Building dependency tree... Done
[05:51] <maxLF> E: Unable to find a source package for wine
[05:51] <LSD`> maxLF: you following redeemans thingo?
[05:51] <maxLF> LSD`: Yeah.
[05:51] <LjL> maxLF: i suppose you don't have the relevant source repository enabled. you need the Universe source repository.
[05:51] <Xappe> LSD`: i guess you could just edit sudoers, and add your user (visudo)
[05:52] <maxLF> LjL: I have the universe and multiverse repositories
[05:52] <kmasta> !lmsensors
[05:52] <ubotu> You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[05:52] <LjL> maxLF: anyway, i'm not sure how that will help you running WoW, since you'll just get the same wine that already comes binary packaged
[05:52] <Richard_> I'm trying to install mythtv on dapper, but I cant find any packages! :(
[05:52] <LjL> maxLF: the *source* lines for them, too?
[05:52] <LSD`> Xappe: or I could just nuke Ubuntu, which was what I was planning to do anyway ;)
[05:52] <LjL> heroin: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=swatch&version=dapper&arch=all  <-- apparently, the package only contains example config files
[05:52] <maxLF> LjL: I'm not sure I'm just using the turtorial.
[05:52] <GreG36> kmasta, Should I start at the top of that Howto and do everything exactly as he does? Or just skip to the Flash part?
[05:52] <deFrysk> maxLF, apt-get build-dep wine
[05:52] <Xappe> LSD`: well, that's your choice ;)
[05:53] <LjL> !tell maxLF about wow
[05:53] <LSD`> Xappe: also, changing the group entry for admin to gid 113 changed it so instead of prompting for a password it just returned an error saying sudo wouldn't let me run the program
[05:53] <deFrysk> maxLF, apt-get source -b wine
[05:53] <LjL> maxLF: this tutorial?
[05:53] <kmasta> do everything as he does it exactly
[05:53] <LjL> maxLF: (specifically, this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)
[05:53] <maxLF> says its unable to find a source package for wine
[05:53] <Jackofalltrades> When I type in slocate VLC it doesnt do anything. am I missing part of the command?
[05:54] <Xappe> LSD`: and you added yourself to the group?
[05:54] <deFrysk> slocate vlc
[05:54] <LSD`> Xappe: yeah
[05:54] <deFrysk> no caps
[05:54] <LjL> maxLF: look, forget the source package thing, it won't gain you anything. it's the same wine you get by typing "sudo apt-get install wine". anyway, if it can't find the source, it just means you're missing the deb-src lines for Universe in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:54] <Jackofalltrades> ah there we go. thanks
[05:55] <deFrysk> maxLF, enable sourcepackages in your repo
[05:55] <maxLF> LjL: I'll follow the turtorial you gave me and see how it turns out
[05:55] <Xappe> LSD`: ok, then I have no clue...
[05:55] <ezebe> hi folks, can someone give me some advice on a problem i've created with grub?
[05:55] <deFrysk> creat prob with grub howto ?
[05:55] <aTypical> ezebe, yes, don't create anymore.
[05:55] <aTypical> :-)
[05:55] <mumbles> damm the forums being down
[05:55] <deFrysk> lol
[05:56] <savvas> how can i enable ident on ubuntu? :\
[05:56] <Dr_willis> savvas,  why do you need to?
[05:56] <Dr_willis> !info identd
[05:56] <ubotu> Package identd does not exist in any distro I know
[05:56] <ezebe> i removed all the linux kernel options from the menu file, in the hope that i caould remove my linux harddrive and boot into window, and now i cant get linux back...
[05:56] <Richard_> my castle for some mythtv packages
[05:56] <LjL> !find identd
[05:56] <savvas> on undernet some channels ban users that have ~ in their username
[05:56] <ubotu> Found: bidentd, gidentd, midentd, nullidentd, oidentd (and 4 others)
[05:56] <ezebe> i can't help it, problem creation seems to be my thing
[05:56] <Dr_willis> savvas,  thats rather dumb of them.
[05:57] <finalbeta> ezebe, that makes no sense. You should have fixed the windows entry, now ofcourse you can't enter linux
[05:57] <Dr_willis> apt-cache search identd   shows several
[05:57] <savvas> Dr_willis: it's not if you consider they're flooded by proxies almost daily
[05:57] <savvas> but um..
[05:57] <savvas> which one? :P
[05:57] <finalbeta> ezebe, funny, but ok. You should probably boot from the ubuntu live cd, mount the linux file system, and place back a backup from the menu.lst
[05:58] <ezebe> i was hoping i could use the command interface of grub to boot linux manually, then replace the menu file with the backup
[05:58] <Dr_willis> savvas,  pick one.. if they are using that lame method to ban people.. they deserve it.
[05:58] <Dr_willis> savvas,  pick one that lets you use random characters as your ident response. :)
[05:58] <ezebe> finalbeta: i tried that, but i couldnt get permisssions to read the filesystem
[05:58] <Dr_willis> savvas,  ive seen 4 line perl scripts that work as identd servers
[05:59] <ezebe> i'm quite a newbie (out of my depth) so i may have missed something obvious
[05:59] <LjL> Dr_willis: well, freenode is a bit annoying as well. if it doesn't get an ident response (and it can't from me, since i'm behind NAT), it just hangs for an annoyingly long time
[05:59] <savvas> hum
[05:59] <LjL> Dr_willis: (actually, for so long that a few irc clients just time out and assume they can't connect)
[05:59] <savvas> that could be useful for irssi :P
[05:59] <finalbeta> ezebe, when you boot from the live cd, create a dir in /media, and then use the partition manager to mount the thing. It worked for me.
[05:59] <Dr_willis> LjL,  ive noticed the opposite effect.. windows version of xchat has identd. and takes forever to connect.. linux xchat connects almost idmnetaly
[05:59] <Alin4lex> hello
[05:59] <Alin4lex> ROMANIA ??
[06:00] <LjL> Alin4lex: please, use lowercase
[06:00] <milosevic> ok, I'm having problems to mount an NFTS disk and the forums are down
[06:00] <Mille-> anyone could recommend a pdf editor?
[06:00] <Ciaus> is there any way to install ubuntu without having a cd palyer available?

[06:00] <ezebe> partaition manager - gparted? i just tried "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media"
[06:01] <Mille-> milosevic, thanks :-)
[06:01] <milosevic> Ciaus, thru internet
[06:01] <milosevic> or you can make it online :P
[06:01] <Ciaus> milosevic, how?
[06:01] <darkanyel> hola, existe algun programa como el dragon naturaly speaker en Ubuntu???
[06:01] <LjL> !es
[06:01] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[06:02] <LjL> darkanyel: no, not really anything like that. there was an IBM product, but i think it's discontinued.
[06:02] <milosevic> Ciaus, open scribus, create your document and save ir as PDF
[06:03] <Se7h> could some one help me on the webcam spca5 driver? (edgy)
[06:03] <darkanyel> thanks LjL
[06:03] <Masqy> hi all
[06:03] <pike_> agent: you could delete the .g* dirs in you home directory but that would set everything back to default..im sure in those dirs you could find something specific to delete
[06:03] <ezebe> finalbeta,thanks for the help i'll give that a try...
[06:03] <Masqy> Can someone know how to fix the cyrillic fonts in urxvt ?
[06:03] <agent> pike_: ok.... will look into it, thanks
[06:04] <milosevic> it*
[06:04] <grodius> Does anyone know of some better wireless networking programs besides ubuntu's default
[06:04] <GreG36> kmasta, Ok, I got it to install. When I reopened my browser, the forums are down so I cant view the Howto. But when I go to watch a video, it still says missing plugin.
[06:04] <Masqy> When I choose the font there as : 'xft:Bitsream Vera Sana Mono:size=10' or so, english and hebrew scripts are shown allright, russian however get scrambled... any suggestions?
[06:04] <kmasta> yea, probably not done yet
[06:05] <GreG36> Not done? huh?
[06:05] <Masqy> how can I tell which font ubuntu uses for cyrillic when it uses gnome-terminal?
[06:05] <mumbles> can someone tell me what is the problme with http://johnedmondson.pastebin.co.uk/3713
[06:05] <Ciaus> milosevic, thats doesnt make sense to me can you be a little more clear, please
[06:05] <pike_> grodius: iwconfig, ifconfig and dhclient are about all you need. its good to get familiar with connecting from command line anyway
[06:06] <nex_> hi everyone
[06:06] <kmasta> GreG, he forums are currently down for cleanup & reorganization. We will be back soon!
[06:06] <GreG36> Yea, i got that.
[06:06] <nex_> does anyone know how to change the perferred app for a type of file?
[06:06] <grodius> pike_, do i need to download dhclient?
[06:07] <milosevic> Ciaus, Open Scribus, then enter all the information you want in the file, then when finished with the file, Save it with the Save Ass... option as PDF
[06:07] <Ciaus> and what will that get me?
[06:07] <Ciaus> a pdf file....
[06:07] <pike_> grodius: nope. heres an example connecting to an open AP: iwlist ath0 scan ; iwconfig ath0 essid linksys ; dhclient ath0  and your connected
[06:07] <Ciaus> !info scibus
[06:07] <ubotu> Package scibus does not exist in any distro I know
[06:08] <Dr_willis> Scribus
[06:08] <SuperMiguel> does any one know how can i install blitz on ubuntu?
[06:08] <Dr_willis> !info scribus
[06:08] <ubotu> scribus: Open Source Desktop Publishing. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>.dfsg-1ubuntu4 (dapper), package size 5056 kB, installed size 15360 kB
[06:08] <nex_> Dr_willis, how do you change the perferred app of a file?
[06:08] <Darryl> Erm...how does one go about updating an application when the default on my Ubuntu distro is horribly out of date?
[06:08] <Hoxzer> !info nail
[06:08] <ubotu> nail: feature-rich BSD mail(1). In component universe, is optional. Version 11.25-1 (dapper), package size 273 kB, installed size 668 kB
[06:08] <milosevic> yes, it will give you a .pdf file
[06:08] <nex_> Dr_willis, so for example i want amarok to open mp3s, and ogg files
[06:08] <Dr_willis> nex_,  i right click and use the open with,, and i think thees a checkbox there
[06:08] <grodius> pike_, i did an apt-cache search and apaprently theres something called dhcdbd, is that what I should DL
[06:08] <nex_> Dr_willis, let me see... thx
[06:09] <Dr_willis> nex_,  i tend to use KDE however
[06:09] <pike_> grodius: no you have all the tools in ubuntu by default
[06:09] <LjL> Darryl: perhaps best choice right now is to wait until the next Ubuntu is out. should be this month
[06:09] <grodius> pike_, ooh ok
[06:09] <maxLF> hey when I open the installer for world of warcraft why is the font so god damn tiny?
[06:09] <nex_> Dr_willis, it doesn't have a check box just a list of apps
[06:09] <Ciaus> milosevic, Scribus is a page viewing utility, I want to install and OS....How do the two relate to each other?
[06:09] <nex_> Dr_willis, what's an all out good media player that plays anything from mp3-ogg?
[06:10] <Darryl> LJL, no way, I'm sticking with this
[06:10] <maxLF> hey when I open the installer for world of warcraft why is the font so god damn tiny? Is it Wines fault? How can I fix it?
[06:10] <grodius> pike_, Do you ever get the problem where if you scan it only shows the 1 network youre already connected to?
[06:10] <Dr_willis> nex_,  i tend to just use xmms. :)
[06:10] <Darryl> I had enough trouble getting it on, I'm not swapping now :P
[06:10] <nex_> Dr_willis, ok thanks
[06:10] <LjL> Darryl: actually, you should be able to just upgrade using the automatic updater
[06:11] <milosevic> jaja, sorry now i know what happen, for your question
[06:11] <LjL> Darryl: at any rate, if you want to install a newer version of something, you're a bit on your own. if there is a .deb package of it available, you can try installing it (but note that .deb files meant for Debian might break Ubuntu), or if there's only source, you can go and compile it.
[06:11] <milosevic> you can download it
[06:11] <pike_> grodius: only when i dont have my external antenna plugged into the card. you will notice with weaker signals you can iwlist ath0 scan  several times and get different results
[06:11] <milosevic> the Scribus was for Mille
[06:12] <GreG36> Thanks for your help kmasta.
[06:12] <grodius> pike_, what if u need to set a WEP password to connect
[06:12] <Ciaus> milosevic, I KNOW i can DL the file, but and I can burn it on other systems, but taht doesnt help me get the OS operational on the system without the cd palayer
[06:12] <Darryl> I don't know how to compile stuff, Gah!
[06:13] <Ciaus> darn typos.....
[06:13] <Pacoo> hi
[06:13] <SuperMiguel>  does any one know how can i install blitz on ubuntu?
[06:13] <Mille-> milosevic, hm. you cant acctually edit pdf-files with scribus? only create new ones?
[06:13] <pike_> grodius: iwconfig does that for example sudo iwconfig ath0 essid linksys key<PHONE_NUMBER>
[06:14] <milosevic> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=74386 <- Ciaus wait for the forums to come up, this helped me
[06:14] <SuperMiguel> !blitz
[06:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about blitz - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:14] <pike_> grodius: or did you mean password not encryption?
[06:14] <Ciaus> ok thx, milosevic
[06:14] <Renan_s2> SuperMiguel, what would be "blitz"?
[06:15] <Moture> Hi guys
[06:15] <SuperMiguel> Renan_s2: language like C or C++
[06:15] <LjL> !info blitz++
[06:15] <LjL> this one?
[06:15] <ubotu> Package blitz does not exist in any distro I know
[06:15] <LjL> blah
[06:15] <Pacoo> I need to restore the users on 6.10... something went wrong and I have lost the privilges on the login user
[06:15] <Dr_willis> lol
[06:15] <LjL> well, it's there anyway
[06:15] <Pacoo> could someone help me?
[06:15] <LjL> it's just ubotu doesn't like the "+" sign
[06:15] <grodius> pike_, i meant WEP encryption, but if theres a ACSII (w/e) password for the network and i type key password will it work?
[06:15] <Moture> Is Edgy beta worth upgrading too? Or should I just wait the 18 days?
[06:15] <aTypical> Hi, trappist.  How are you?  Long time no chat.  :-)
[06:15] <LjL> it's in universe
[06:15] <SuperMiguel> i just need blitz
[06:16] <Pacoo> Edgy is working quite well
[06:16] <Dr_willis> Moture,  i would say wait.. i plan onwaiting a few months. :P
[06:16] <lophyte> I just installed Dapper on an old iMac G3... I shut it down, and now it won't power back up... any suggestions?
[06:16] <Moture> Really willis?
[06:16] <Pacoo> I have it working wityh Beryl and Xgl and is quite stable
[06:16] <aTypical> Anyone here using a Tungsten with Ubuntu?
[06:16] <Dr_willis> Moture,  heh -  ive allready tested out the betas.. and had some quirks.. i will wait till they all get ironed out
[06:16] <Moture> I'd usually wait a week after the stable release, but in this case so many people love the beta, and brag of it's stability I'm almost inclined to upgrade already.
[06:17] <Moture> Oh right, if you're sure. But I'll upgrade the day after stable release. ;)
[06:17] <pike_> grodius: im not sure of the syntax for that one. man iwconfig is actually pretty decent or it might be quicker to google or look in forums
[06:17] <Dr_willis> Moture,  depends.. work machine... vs a Hobby Machine.. :)
[06:17] <aTypical> Dr_willis, so the beta still needs work?  Darn, I just downloaded the iso.
[06:17] <babo> where can I get one of those gnome themes with the see-thru nautilus windows ?
[06:17] <Moture> It's my only Ubuntu machine. So I'll be looking after it. :)
[06:17] <grodius> pike_, ok thanks
[06:17] <aTypical> babo, are you talking about compiz and xgl?
[06:17] <Dr_willis> aTypical,  i imagine  with all the new stuff.. work will be needed for the next 10 years..:P but thats how linux is.
[06:18] <aTypical> heh
[06:18] <Dr_willis> Constantaly evoloving
[06:18] <Moture> aTypical, why download the iso? If you use upgrade manager and allow beta software through it upgrades automatically
[06:18] <babo> aTypical: not sure ... maybe ...
[06:18] <aTypical> Moture, I currently run SUSE and am debating whether to switch.
[06:18] <Moture> Ah, in all honesty, I'd say yes.
[06:18] <Ciaus> aTypical, YOU GOTTA change
[06:18] <Moture> I've tried both, and Ubuntu is (in my opinion) alot nicer.
[06:18] <aTypical> Moture, SLED10 is really nice.
[06:19] <tecywiz121> Hey, I can't get the ubuntu live cd to start on an imac, G3 i think
[06:19] <Moture> IF you like the SUSE environment, and aren't ready for a huge change, try Kubuntu.
[06:19] <Ciaus> i d did suse for three months, and it never ever worked well...
[06:19] <aTypical> Moture, no, thanks.  I'm a GNOME man.
[06:19] <Moture> Good to hear. :D
[06:19] <sethk> aTypical, I've switched my suse boxes to ubuntu.
[06:19] <sethk> aTypical, suse seems (IMO) to be regressing as far a quality
[06:19] <tecywiz121> anyone?
[06:19] <Ciaus> ubuntu lives up to the motto, of it just works
[06:20] <aTypical> sethk, are you the seth who does Continuum for wine?
[06:20] <Moture> True, ciaus, but that's not always a good thing.
[06:20] <sethk> aTypical, no
[06:20] <sethk> aTypical, sorry
[06:20] <babo> aTypical: I don't think so ... I just want one of those futuristic gnome looks with the transparent windows ...
[06:20] <sethk> aTypical, I do kernel and device drivers, middleware.
[06:20] <Moture> Sometimes with Linux, I just like a challenge. With Ubuntu, there are very few challenges.
[06:20] <aTypical> sethk, that's too brainy for me.  ;-)
[06:20] <weirdolino> i don't get the ubuntu dapper desktop cd to run on my new pc. the cd is okay, installed it on other pcs before. it hangs at "mounting root file system". pc is a P4 3.2GHz and the board an asus p5gpl. does anyone have an idea?
[06:21] <lophyte> Moture: that's the point :P
[06:21] <sethk> Moture, work a bit harder, you'll find challanges.  just different ones.
[06:21] <Ciaus> suse HAS MORE CHALLENGES THAN EVEN nOVELL CAN RESOLVE
[06:21] <Ciaus>  caps lock sawry
[06:21] <Moture> weirdolino: The live CD doesn't work on every PC. Use the Alternate CD download (www.ubuntu.com)
[06:22] <tecywiz121> would that work for my problem as well?
[06:22] <sethk> weirdolino, if your goal is to run the live cd (instead of your goal being to install from it), try disabling DMA for ide drives
[06:22] <weirdolino> Moture: thx, i'm downloading the alternate installer atm. should i know anything about the required configuration?
[06:22] <sethk> tecywiz121, I don't believe there are G3 binaries, no.
[06:23] <SuperMiguel> there is any way to install blitz on ubuntu?
[06:23] <tecywiz121> sethk, well it got all the way to loading gnome display manager, then the screen turned off
[06:23] <Moture> weirdolino: Are you partitioning, or formatting? Partitioning can be a little tricky without the live CD interface, unless you know what you're doing.
[06:23] <sethk> tecywiz121, in that case, I'm wrong.
[06:23] <weirdolino> ' sethk my goal is installing ubuntu on this pc. worked fine on my laptop and my old desktop pc
[06:23] <sethk> tecywiz121, and, in that case, the text mode install will help you.
[06:23] <sethk> weirdolino, the text mode install from the alternate cd is certainly worth a try.
[06:23] <Ciaus> moture where can i locate the live cd
[06:24] <weirdolino>  Moture i don't even get to the point of partitioning. the live cd just won't boot
[06:24] <sethk> weirdolino, wait.  you said it tries to mount the root file system, didn't you?
[06:24] <weirdolino> yes sethk
[06:24] <sethk> weirdolino, then it is already booted.
[06:24] <Moture> weirdolino: I meant; do you PLAN to partition?
[06:24] <sethk> weirdolino, the text mode install is your best bet.
[06:25] <weirdolino> okay but it seems to have some problem identifying my hardware...
[06:25] <Moture> weirdolino: Yes, the alternate CD I suggested before is your best bet, as sethk said.  Hm, I quite like it.
[06:26] <david_> I'm trying to connect to a folder I'm sharing using windows share on ubuntu, and when I type my password, it isn't accepted.
[06:26] <david_> how do i set the password used for samba shares?
[06:26] <kmasta> ok, when I install a package from the package manager, where does it go?
[06:27] <Moture> kmasta: Which package?
[06:27] <tecta> hmm, what'd ubuntu do to make the trash ico appear on the task bar?
[06:27] <Dyegov> I'm having problems with my resolution, it's only 640x480 or something like that and I want to encrease it, but I can't
[06:27] <kmasta> Moture sensors-applet
[06:27] <kmasta> moture, i already have lm-sensors set up
[06:27] <silvertip257> hey sethk
[06:27] <Moture> kmasta: Can you run sensors-applet from terminal?
[06:27] <vit_> hy all :)]
[06:27] <Moture> kmasta: I assume your running Dapper?
[06:27] <weirdolino> partitioning won't be a problem. my hd is already patitioned, i just need to reformat one of them. getting ubuntu up is the problem
[06:28] <pike_> !fixres > Dyegov
[06:28] <kmasta> Moture, yea i'm running dapper, i don't know how to run sensors-applet from my terminal though
[06:28] <Moture> weirdolino: You'll do fine with the alternate CD, apart from anything it's handy to have around
[06:28] <pike_> Dyegov: take a look at that link and see if that works to fix it
[06:28] <vit_> ----------------------------   HY ALL FROM           MOLDOVA   -----------------------------
[06:28] <Moture> kmasta: Try typing "sensors-applet" in terminal, without the ""s
[06:29] <dark_soul> hello
[06:29] <kmasta> Moture, i tired, i got nothing
[06:29] <Moture> Hm.
[06:29] <vit_> felicit toti moldovenii cu ziua vinului !!!
[06:29] <kmasta> moture, I don't understand what happens to all these packages once I download and install them, it's like they go nowhere
[06:29] <Dyegov> pike, I'he tried that and it didn' work
[06:30] <dark_soul> hello! :)
[06:30] <dark_soul> xD
[06:30] <Moture> kmasta: They should go into one of the menus on the top of your screen, have a look.
[06:30] <pike_> Dyegov: what kind of vid card do you have?
[06:30] <Dyegov> nvidia GeForce
[06:30] <weirdolino> okay Moture, thx, i was about to try that anyway, once it's downloaded but there's one thing that makes me uneasy about it: when the dapper live cd didn't work i tried the breezy installer cd i still had and at the end of the installation, when it rebooted, it froze. after that i couldn't even boot my windows partition anymore and had to reinstall the whole system
[06:30] <vit_> hy :|
[06:30] <kmasta> Moture, I already looked ther
[06:30] <Rookie_> !nvidia
[06:31] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:31] <Moture> kmasta: If not, wait until www.ubuntuforums.org is back up, and ask there. I hate how often the forum is down.
[06:31] <pike_> Dyegov: have you installed video drivers yet for nvidia or are you using the generic one setup by default?
[06:31] <Moture> weirdolino: Good luck, mate... can you keep in touch here during installation?
[06:31] <Dyegov> pike, I'm usign the generic ones. I have not intalled anything yet
[06:31] <kmasta> Moture, ok
[06:32] <Moture> Sorry I can't help you futher :(
[06:32] <weirdolino> ' well should i get lucky with the alternate installer i can come back and tell you how it worked Moture :)
[06:32] <Ropechoborra> Is there any diference in upgrading edgy now or when its released?
[06:32] <Ropechoborra> *upgrading to edgy
[06:33] <thatGuy_> hey guys
[06:33] <thatGuy_> last night i was looking to remove gnome
[06:33] <Dyegov> pike, does what it says in this page helps me? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:33] <pike_> Dyegov: basically you have a few options 1. edit config file manually "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" 2. use the automatic setup "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg 3.follow the link ubotu mentioned and go ahead and install nvidia drivers since youll want to do that anyway eventually. might gix it for you
[06:33] <kmasta> Moture, I tried using xsensors, but that didn't work
[06:33] <thatGuy_> here is a command that should pretty much do it
[06:33] <thatGuy_> sudo aptitude purge gnome-bin gnome-desktop-data gnome-panel gnome-panel-data gnome-utils gnome-libs-data gnome-control-center nautilus libgnome32 libgnomeui32 libgnomesupport0 gnome-session libgnorba27 libglade-gnome0 gnomp3
[06:33] <pike_> Dyegov: yeah
[06:33] <thatGuy_> ::waiting to see what happens::
[06:34] <Dyegov> OK, I'll try it and be right back, thanks pike
[06:34] <pike_> Dyegov: np
[06:35] <thatGuy_> fyrestrtr, scroll up slightly
[06:36] <host`> ok, I finally have linux up and running
[06:36] <host`> and it was a lot easier than I was making
[06:36] <txoof> Any idea what package supplies Gd Graphics Toolkit?  There are quite a few packages that supply gd related things, but I'm not sure which one I need.
[06:36] <host`> ubuntu did all the work for me
[06:36] <thatGuy_> ompaul, scroll up slightly
[06:36] <host`> just about
[06:36] <weirdolino> Moture: someone advised me to run knoppix and save the output of lsmod and demsg to a file (knoppix does boot on this machine, an old one though, v. 3.6) because that would contain valuable information on how to cofigure ubuntu. what do you make of that?
[06:37] <jenda> I have trouble networking my dapper and edgy boxes. Openssh-server is installed on both, but connecting always ends up with 'no host could be found'. They are both connected to the LAN, one with DHCP and the other with static IP. The error occurs on both ends.
[06:37] <erider> do anyone have both 32bit and 64bit libraries running on there system
[06:37] <SAM_theman> how do  I get my hp deskjet 3653 to work ?

[06:39] <Moture> I'm using gtkorphan to clean any unwanted apt-get dependancies
[06:39] <pike_> jenda: and your connecting by ipaddress like ssh <IP_ADDRESS> -l username  ?
[06:40] <jenda> pike_: I used nautilus

[06:40] <SAM_theman> :p
[06:40] <jenda> pike_: remote file browsing
[06:41] <jenda> pike_: ssh fails with 'no route to host'
[06:41] <swamytk> acroread-mozilla plugin will do
[06:41] <SAM_theman> Gabby_Hayes, u a gamer or 3d artist ..because I am both :p
[06:41] <swamytk> do any one use Xubuntu Edgy? how is performance?

[06:42] <Gabby_Hayes> SAM_theman  .. neither, am a retired programmer, and wanted to see if I could get some 64-bit stuff written up & running
[06:42] <anon32> what would the best way to view a 300MB text file be?
[06:42] <Itpbull> StellarPrince system > administration > system monitor
[06:42] <pike_> they both have internet access and are on the same router?
[06:42] <SAM_theman> o

[06:46] <SB|nblracer> when i go in the LIveCD to install, and click on install on desktop nothing happens
[06:46] <hastesaver> YouCeyE, you mean the X doesn't start at all, or do you mean that something else (gdm or xdm) starts instead of kdm?
[06:46] <loper06> tim_: grub auto detects that u have xp
[06:46] <YouCeyE> hastesaver, X wont start
[06:46] <Itpbull> hastesaver done. Installed build-essential .. now what?

[06:48] <loper06> morning all. does anybody have experince in adding multiple users to proftpd?
[06:48] <pike_> !xgl > nex_
[06:48] <Itpbull> hastesaver the link you've given me is down.
[06:48] <tim_> loper06, yea, but initially, it wouldn't boot it correctly, so i made some changes. the changes reflect the actual commands you can type into the grub shell, which i have been doing (and sucks each time i wanna boot win). However, the actual commands you type wont work in the menu.lst file.
[06:49] <tim_> loper06, so, im wondering how to correctly do it
[06:49] <hastesaver> Itpbull, it's working for me right now... let me check again
[06:49] <Itpbull> hastesaver Do I need *anyother* essential build?
[06:49] <YouCeyE> hastesaver, any help?
[06:49] <loper06> tim: well i would help u but my laptop is not w/ me now.
[06:50] <hastesaver> Itpbull, the link is working fine... try http://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:51] <hastesaver> YouCeyE, I don't really know... maybe you can try "dmesg" and look for errors
[06:51] <Itpbull> hastesaver In order to have ndiswrapper 1.23 installed, what Do I need .. cause, when i typed "make" ... I get "make -C driver" error .
[06:51] <hastesaver> YouCeyE, or maybe just reinstall the package :-)
[06:51] <hastesaver> Itpbull, I don't really know; sorry
[06:52] <silvertip257> would anyone be willing to help me with a GRUB install (regarding DSL) in a private channel ???
[06:52] <hastesaver> YouCeyE, BTW, I'm using KDE, and it's running gdm... did you start with a Ubuntu CD or Kubuntu one?
[06:52] <Valandil> bonjour, je cherche un serveur fr

[06:52] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[06:52] <SB|nblracer> any clue on why i click on install on desktop nothing happens
[06:52] <Itpbull> hastesaver Is linux-kernel-devel related with kernel-source ?
[06:53] <Valandil> merci
[06:53] <hastesaver> SB|nblracer, try double-clicking :-)
[06:53] <SB|nblracer> i did
[06:53] <loper06> SB|nblracer: try rebooting into the cd again
[06:53] <Itpbull> SB|nblracer right-click on it > open
[06:53] <SB|nblracer> i get a little circle like a bussy curser
[06:53] <SB|nblracer> and nothing happens
[06:54] <hastesaver> Itpbull, I don't think you need linux-kernel-devel
[06:54] <hastesaver> SB|nblracer, make sure the CD is fine (there is an option before you boot for checking the CD for errors, right?)
[06:54] <SB|nblracer> hastesaver i did do that
[06:54] <SB|nblracer> the DVD is fine
[06:54] <pigor> hello. how to downgrade a specific package?

[06:55] <American-Tech> notebook
[06:55] <knixtech> is there a way to have my ubuntu-server automatically update?
[06:55] <tiny> Hi! What are available install methods for ubuntu?
[06:56] <Garbaek> tiny > apg-get :p
[06:56] <hastesaver> tiny, you want to install Ubuntu, or packages on Ubuntu?
[06:56] <LSD`> * > apt-get :P
[06:57] <b1shop>  hmm.  does tar/gzip still have that 2GB file limit?
[06:57] <Luakagon> How do I open a .lzh file?
[06:57] <hastesaver> Luakagon, what kind of a file is it? (Type "file <filename>" to find out)
[06:58] <tiny> I want to install ubuntu right now but I don't have any CD/DVD install media here. Is it possible to install it from some live disk or from another running linux system.
[06:58] <host`> so is there no root login in ubuntu?
[06:58] <tiny> Using the network install or whatever
[06:58] <host`> you have to sudo?
[06:59] <hastesaver> tiny, yes, it's possible
[06:59] <Tru7h> Is 800 Mhz enough to run Ubuntu?
[06:59] <pike_> tiny: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[06:59] <LSD`> Tru7h: I'm running it on 550
[06:59] <hastesaver> host`, yes, you have to sudo. It is possible to enable the root account, although I've never found the need to. If you really really need a root shell, you can always do "sudo -i"
[07:00] <Tru7h> Alright, then memory's not the problem.
[07:00] <LSD`> Tru7h: you want at least 256MB RAM to run it at least
[07:00] <tiny> yes pike_ ty, already surfing there as you suggested earlier ... I'll go with the knoppix method I think
[07:00] <Gavrila> hello,is there any easy way to get gnome 2.16 on dapper?
[07:00] <Tru7h> LSD`: Alright, thanks.
[07:02] <knixtech> How can I update my ubuntu-server automagically?
[07:02] <pike_> tiny: ah ubotu didnt acknowledge that he'd sent the message
[07:02] <host`> automagically
[07:02] <host`> with magic

[07:03] <tiny> pike_: no problem mate
[07:04] <hastesaver> knixtech, have a cron job doing "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" ? No wait, there is sure to be a better way :-)
[07:04] <knixtech> hastesaver, ty, the forums are down, thats why I am asking here

[07:11] <deFrysk> it is due this month 26th i believe
[07:11] <Moture> Is ubotu a bot? -_-
[07:12] <bruenig> they have been saying for a while that they were awaiting approval for server upgrades from canonical, maybe they got the approval and are switching over

[07:13] <opixus> kk thx
[07:13] <mistershooby> hi can someone help me out with a problem I'm having
[07:13] <mistershooby> when I run easyubuntu, I get the following error
[07:13] <bruenig> !ask
[07:13] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:13] <mistershooby> W: GPG error: http://packages.freecontrib.org dapper Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F120156012B83718
[07:13] <vicscandl> mistershooby: funny, i was going to ask about that too.
[07:13] <whyme> bruenig, I actually wanted to browse through the gaming forums, to see what games are available under linux... I know that quake and doom work, but... what other fps's? I know that planetside doesn't though, which is a shame...
[07:14] <bruenig> mistershooby, looks like one of the repos it adds needs a gpg authentication key and they didn't put it in the easyubuntu program/script/whatever it is.
[07:15] <mistershooby> hm
[07:16] <bruenig> mistershooby, what are you trying to do with easyubuntu, perhaps I could tell you how to do it in another way or someone else
[07:16] <pike_> whyme: there is savage or savage2 kind of a strategy online fps
[07:16] <mistershooby> install flash
[07:16] <mistershooby> heh
[07:16] <FaLCoN> cherubiel: what's is sudo ?
[07:16] <pike_> whyme: well not really
[07:16] <cherubiel> !sudo
[07:16] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:16] <Ramunas> nobody has lirc set up in here?

[07:17] <cherubiel> mistershooby, the signatures are included in the Release files, as the error message suggests. So if the public key is not known to GPG the above error messages are produced.
[07:17] <cherubiel> mistershooby, are you facing any issues because of this??

[07:18] <Wabbit23> Anyone running the Dell Inspiron 6400 and having audio issues?
[07:19] <FaLCoN> cherubiel: falcon is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[07:19] <FaLCoN> :(
[07:19] <cherubiel> FaLCoN, you need to add the user falcon to /etc/sudoers
[07:20] <cherubiel> FaLCoN, did you say you lost the root password?
[07:20] <xiphias> Hello. No question here, I just wanted to say, I installed Ubuntu last night on my workstation and I love it. I'm mostly a Debian/Gentoo guy anyways.
[07:20] <bruenig> !offtopic
[07:20] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:20] <FaLCoN> cherubiel : yes
[07:20] <mistershooby> thanks
[07:20] <mistershooby> anyone know when flash 9 is going to come out
[07:20] <mistershooby> I see all these digg stories about it
[07:20] <mistershooby> but no release yet
[07:20] <Ramunas> me too :(
[07:20] <bruenig> mistershooby, the linux flash blog seems to indicate a beta might come out soon, I dont think the official one is slated until 07
[07:21] <mistershooby> oh damn
[07:21] <bruenig> the beta would have to be better than this crap though
[07:21] <lastnode> how do you mount an iso, i mean what are the flags?
[07:21] <bruenig> !iso
[07:21] <ubotu> To mount an .iso image: sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint - bin/cue can be converted to iso with bchunk  .iso images of Ubuntu CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com Always verify the .iso before burning, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[07:21] <mistershooby> agh I installed flashplugin-nonfree
[07:21] <FaLCoN> cherubiel : I lost my root password :( I have just a user and I must start vsftpd service :(
[07:21] <mistershooby> but youtube still says I need flash
[07:22] <bruenig> mistershooby, it should work on youtube, some sites require 8 or 9
[07:22] <hastesaver> FaLCoN, that's why you should use sudo :-)
[07:22] <cherubiel> FaLCoN, do you have phsical access to the box?
[07:22] <hastesaver> mistershooby, restart your browser?
[07:22] <lastnode> bruenig, asks me to specify a filesystem type
[07:22] <FaLCoN> ah absolutely not ..
[07:22] <FaLCoN> Iam a ssh user
[07:22] <bruenig> mistershooby, put this in the addressbar of firefox "about:plugins"
[07:22] <nex_> Anyone help me out with compiz? i'm getting a repo error
[07:22] <FaLCoN> It's dedicated abroad
[07:22] <mistershooby> bruenig: "no plugins are installed"
[07:23] <nex_> Compiz:  Depends: compiz-plugins but it is not going to be installed
[07:23] <naruto> I've just reinstalled my dapper. But it seems that it can't mount usb-storage automaticly after I do some upgrades?
[07:23] <naruto> could someone help me please?
[07:23] <whyme> http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=1011 is where you want to go - the guy's got a massive list of games to play on linux!!
[07:23] <bruenig> lastnode, that file system flag goes something like -t ext3, or whatever your file system is. I am not too familiar with mounting isos, generally just partitions or hard drives, a man mount might help
[07:23] <bruenig> mistershooby, all installed with flashplugin-nonfree?
[07:24] <mistershooby> all installed?
[07:24] <mistershooby> yeah
[07:24] <mistershooby> lemme uninstall/reinstall in synaptic
[07:24] <dark_light> there are any way to have live bookmarks with galeon?
[07:24] <bruenig> mistershooby, go to the terminal and do ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[07:24] <dark_light> or epiphany
[07:24] <nex_> can anyone help me out with compiz?????
[07:25] <bruenig> nex_, #ubuntu-xgl
[07:25] <pike_> lastnode: offhand mount -t iso9660 -o loop /dev/  /mnt  i think
[07:25] <lastnode> bruenig, got it, bchunk error i think
[07:25] <lastnode> pike_, got it, thanks
[07:25] <cherubiel> FaLCoN, sorry i think you might be stuck.. you should talk to the admin.
[07:25] <nex_> thank
[07:25] <Itpbull> If I install an application thru synaptic, can I install an old version o0f it (without synpatic) will it work?
[07:25] <cherubiel> FaLCoN, if the root password is lost, you could use a live cd, mount the root fs, chroot and do a passwd.
[07:25] <bruenig> mistershooby, when you do ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, what is the output?
[07:26] <mistershooby> bruenig: libunixprintplugin.so
[07:26] <FaLCoN> I'm gonna make a phone call ...
[07:26] <bruenig> mistershooby, you should have flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so if you installed flashplugin-nonfree
[07:27] <jenda> Where can I report gobby bugs?
[07:27] <mistershooby> bruenig: well I just reinstalled
[07:27] <mistershooby> in synaptic
[07:27] <bruenig> synaptic is apt-get, they are the same, synaptic is just a graphical front end
[07:27] <mistershooby> well if I've installed it
[07:27] <mistershooby> why isn't it showing up
[07:27] <lastnode> bchunk problem with a vcd, when i mount the way pike_ said to, i get -  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop4,
[07:27] <lastnode>        missing codepage or other error
[07:27] <lastnode> whoops, sorry, thought that was online
[07:28] <lastnode> *one line
[07:28] <bruenig> mistershooby, it is pretty easy to do it manually
[07:28] <hastesaver> mistershooby, did you close your browser before installing? did you restart it after?
[07:28] <bruenig> mistershooby, save this to the desktop or the home folder or wherever you want http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz
[07:28] <mistershooby> I closed the browser and reoped it after yes
[07:28] <bruenig> hastesaver, it should still be in the directory wouldn't it?
[07:29] <Mille> someone using scribus? and does someone know which versions of postscripts it supports? can't find any info on it on their webpage. having some problems importing ps files.
[07:29] <hastesaver> bruenig, oh, yes
[07:29] <hastesaver> bruenig, Is this flashplugin-nonfree we're talking about?
[07:29] <bruenig> hastesaver, yeah
[07:30] <bruenig> mistershooby, when you get that done, indicate as much
[07:30] <mistershooby> its extracted on the desktop
[07:30] <mistershooby> now what
[07:31] <bruenig> mistershooby, open a terminal and cd into it. Do cd ~/Desktop/installinstall_flash_player_7_linux
[07:31] <bruenig> mistershooby, then do "sudo mv sudo mv flashplayer.xpt libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[07:31] <bruenig> "
[07:32] <sureshot> what does the tilda do in that command brueing
[07:32] <sureshot> what does the tilda do in that command bruenig
[07:32] <bruenig> mistershooby, the cd command was wrong should have been cd ~/Desktop/install_flash_player_7_linux
[07:32] <bruenig> sureshot, the ~ stands for /home/username/
[07:33] <mistershooby> okay its installed and the plugin plays video
[07:33] <mistershooby> but no audio
[07:33] <sureshot> thanks bruenig
[07:33] <host`> what's the best linux bittorrent client? or what channel should I be asking questions like that in?
[07:33] <bruenig> mistershooby, ah now you play the flashplugin sucks and doesn't work right game, have fun
[07:33] <jaek> !blacklist
[07:33] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[07:33] <Ramunas> host`: probably azureus
[07:33] <naruto> I've just reinstalled my dapper. But it seems that it can't mount usb-storage automaticly after I did some upgrades?
[07:33] <naruto> could someone help me please?
[07:33] <jaek> !blacklist > jaek
[07:34] <bruenig> mistershooby, one solution is to close the browser and making sure any application that makes sound is closed and then restart the browser and try again
[07:34] <khaije1> host`: really it depends what you want from it, Azareus is excellent, but i don't prefer that it uses java
[07:34] <hastesaver> mistershooby, wait, you have Firefox, Flash, and no audio?
[07:35] <jaek> i created a file /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and added the line "blacklist agpgart" and it still loads that module...
[07:35] <sureshot> hey all i ask this question from time to time if anyone has any crib sheets they use for answering question here in this channel and would like to share them i would be greatful
[07:35] <host`> !kernel
[07:35] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[07:36] <arbrandes> Greetings
[07:36] <hastesaver> bruenig, aw, just as I was about to tell him... :-)
[07:36] <host`> if I install the 686 kernel, would that make my machine run any better?
[07:37] <arbrandes> I'm having problems with xdmcp login: it seems the gnome settings daemon is not starting.  I get a brown screen and a small white rectangle for over 2 minutes, before getting an error message.
[07:37] <matju> is pwc.ko (for Logitech/Philips USB cameras) working on Linux/PPC ? I'm trying to troubleshoot something
[07:37] <arbrandes> (Edgy here)
[07:38] <lapatsos> i am new in linux
[07:38] <devios> so ... I ran a dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 of=/dev/hda.  it stopped at 7.7 GB each time... I have a 20GB HDD, but didn't realize that until after I installed Ubuntu.  Is there a post-install test I can run on my HDD without destroying data to see if the HDD is ok?
[07:38] <pike_> host`: its a good idea
[07:38] <host`> welcome lapatsos
[07:39] <host`> thanks pike
[07:39] <lapatsos> thanks
[07:39] <anon32> help! what's the defragment command?
[07:39] <pike_> host`: since everythign is compiled for 386 i dont know if it makes much diff but i always prefer my k7 kernel
[07:40] <matju> anon32: why do you need to defrag ?
[07:40] <host`> I guess my next big linux task will be to compile my own custom kernel, but for now I think I'll just install the 686 version
[07:40] <anon32> matju, because my drive is fragmented?
[07:40] <mister_roboto> does anyone here know what truecrypt is and whether it will be put into the ubuntu repositories at some point?
[07:40] <matju> anon32: how do you know?
[07:40] <anon32> matju, because it's over 90% full and it's rather slow
[07:41] <matju> anon32: then you may try: apt-get install defrag
[07:41] <finalbeta> After installing wine a .wine dir should exist right? Or how do you create it?
[07:41] <anon32> matju, ok
[07:41] <matju> anon32: but really, i never tried it, cause i never needed to in 10 years of linux
[07:41] <pike_> finalbeta: try running winecfg
[07:41] <chaosmeika> I need some assistance. Im installing ubuntu on a iMac g3 and Im coming up with an error
[07:42] <bruenig> final beta a "winecfg" will do it
[07:42] <anon32> matju, that's nice... oh yea, could you tell me how to open a webpage in w3m?
[07:42] <chaosmeika> is there a page that has a reference about errors and how to solve them?>
[07:42] <linuxphotogeek> truecrypt is file or device encryption app at http://www.truecrypt.org/
[07:42] <matju> anon32: what's w3m ?
[07:42] <SAM_theman> yup i am back
[07:42] <anon32> matju, the text browser that's installed by default
[07:42] <finalbeta> thnx pike_
[07:42] <lapatsos> Is any one from grecce?
[07:42] <Sionide> !gr
[07:42] <ubotu> #ubuntu-gr  #kubuntu-gr     /  #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes
[07:43] <Sionide> :-)
[07:43] <Sionide> lucky guess... heh
[07:43] <mister_roboto> linuxphotogeek: yes, i know and i use it on windows. but it doesn't compile on latest ubuntu so i want to know if it's going to make it to the repositories some time
[07:43] <FaLCoN> greetz from Turkey to Greece !
[07:43] <matju> anon32: i don't recall using a terminal-based web browser this century.
[07:43] <mister_roboto> linuxphotogeek: they have some debs on their download site but not for edgy and the source is missing a file that it depends on.
[07:44] <anon32> matju, it's nice when you're in console mode
[07:44] <erider_> do anyone have both 32bit and 64bit libraries running on there system
[07:44] <devios> so ... I ran a dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 of=/dev/hda.  it stopped at 7.7 GB each time... I have a 20GB HDD, but didn't realize that until after I installed Ubuntu.  Is there a post-install test I can run on my HDD without destroying data to see if the HDD is ok?
[07:44] <matju> anon32: i'm not in console mode. (and i used to be a console freak too.)
[07:44] <SAM_theman> I am going to try AmericasArmy
[07:44] <Aphex_Twin> hey there. is it possible to open a text console stationed in the current nautilus folder?
[07:44] <linuxphotogeek> runs on dapper
[07:44] <anon32> matju, defrag doesn't work on ReiserFS or ext3 :-(
[07:44] <linuxphotogeek> I think I used the deb
[07:44] <THX-1138> devios - "testdisk" a quick google should find it
[07:44] <Sionide> SAM_theman, i got it running, but it was quite slow cos my laptop's not so good..:
[07:44] <Sionide> :)*
[07:44] <mister_roboto> linuxphotogeek: right, but i'm not on dapper ;)
[07:45] <SAM_theman> o what kind
[07:45] <matju> anon32: that's because no-one using ext3 or reiserfs really cares about defrag
[07:45] <anon32> matju, :-(
[07:45] <linuxphotogeek> I plan to move to edgy so wish me luck?
[07:45] <Sionide> devios, are you sure you haven't partitioned your 20 gig into a 7.7gb and the remainder??
[07:45] <THX-1138> devios - I think gparted and reformatting it should fix it.
[07:45] <Sionide> linuxphotogeek, good luck...
[07:45] <matju> anon32: anyway fragmentation isn't nearly as much of a problem as on FAT systems, which are super bad at handling it.
[07:45] <mister_roboto> linuxphotogeek: i'm using it on 3 machines and it's working well
[07:46] <Sionide> THX-1138, reformatting will lose all the data though
[07:46] <bruenig> I wish you failure
[07:46] <Zoffix_> Hi, I've just installed Ubuntu 6.10, and I want it to boot up in text mode, for some reason I can't find 'inittab' file. It is not in /etc and 'find' produced no results. Did anybody have a similar problem?
[07:46] <LSD`> FAT filesystems are super bad, period.
[07:46] <Aphex_Twin> konqueror can open up text consoles in the current folder, can nautilus do the same?
[07:46] <THX-1138> true enough - the penguin slueth kit is a collection of tools
[07:46] <Sionide> Zoffix_, $ locate inittab   /etc/inittab    <- it's there for me..
[07:46] <anon32> LSD`, they *are* easy to implement and are really light...
[07:46] <bruenig> Zoffix_, #ubuntu+1
[07:47] <mister_roboto> LSD`: they are good when you want to share a partition with windows though
[07:47] <fishsticks> when i try to compile something, and it says "can not create binaries", what do i need to do
[07:47] <pike_> Zoffix_: thats wierd
[07:47] <LSD`> anon32: they're still shite
[07:47] <Aphex_Twin> don't gnome users never need to open a text console in the current nautilus folder?
[07:47] <LSD`> mister_roboto: no they're not
[07:47] <Sionide> mister_roboto, you can get a third party app which allows windows to read ext3
[07:47] <mister_roboto> fishsticks: are you trying to overwrite a running binary?
[07:47] <Aphex_Twin> 's/never/ever/g'
[07:47] <THX-1138> fishsticks: have you installed a compiler? "build-essential"
[07:47] <anon32> LSD`, then why are all flash drives FAT?
[07:47] <Sionide> Aphex_Twin, you can do that with a nautlis script, quite easily
[07:47] <Zoffix_> oh man =( Edgy is not stable =(
[07:47] <bruenig> Aphex_Twin, generally I am able to cd
[07:47] <fishsticks> nah, i just installed gcc, thanks THX-1138
[07:48] <mister_roboto> LSD`: what do you recommend in place of FAT then? supposedly writes to NTFS still cannot be trusted
[07:48] <fishsticks> i've been away from linux for a long while, haha
[07:48] <Sionide> Aphex_Twin, nautilus* even
[07:48] <LSD`> anon32: saying FAT is a good filesystem because everything can read it is like saysing Windows is a good OS because every PC runs it
[07:48] <anon32> mister_roboto, there's ext3 support for Windows
[07:48] <pike_> nice thing about fat is it works from solaris to xp out of the box cant say that for really any other format
[07:48] <THX-1138> flash drives are small fat32 is compatible with most oses
[07:48] <mister_roboto> Sionide: read and write?   anon32: read and write support?
[07:49] <Sionide> mister_roboto, yeah, it's called e2fs
[07:49] <anon32> LSD`, it *is* good for *some* things because it's really simple to implement
[07:49] <THX-1138> !ntfs
[07:49] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[07:49] <fishsticks> okay, now it says i need SDL
[07:49] <Aphex_Twin> bruening: what's the procedure to do that?
[07:49] <LSD`> anon32: fact is that FAT isn't, never was and never will be a good filesystem
[07:49] <Sionide> sourceforge appears to be down for me at the moment, but the link is e2fsprogs.sf.net
[07:49] <Zoffix_> Is Ubuntu 6.06 stable?
[07:49] <bruenig> yes
[07:49] <Sionide> Zoffix_, it is
[07:49] <mister_roboto> Sionide: that's good to know!  you can mount an ext3 partition on a device letter, for example?
[07:49] <pike_> Zoffix_: its so stable its inert
[07:49] <Aphex_Twin> bruenig, Sionide : what's the procedure to do that?
[07:49] <mdjake> Currently what is the best TV application for Dapper?
[07:50] <Sionide> mister_roboto, indeed:) i have it on my windows 2000 dual-boot
[07:50] <THX-1138> "LTS" long term service. supported by canonical for the next 5 yrs.
[07:50] <Zarephath> clear
[07:50] <anon32> gah, k3b is a 50MB download
[07:50] <Zoffix_> man why I was never told that 6.10 is not stable =( wasted a DVD and 4 hourts =( the version number is even, what the hell
[07:50] <yarddog> 6.10 is stable
[07:50] <Zarephath> Anyone know of any information on how to get a PocketPC running mobile 5 to sync in gnome?
[07:50] <yarddog> lol
[07:50] <Sionide> Aphex_Twin, there's a nautilus scripts folder, if you install the script from g-scripts.sf.net it'll be under the Scripts menu on your right-click menu on nautlis
[07:51] <yarddog> at the end of the month
[07:51] <anon32> OMGWTFBBQ... wow, k3b is massive
[07:51] <THX-1138> aon32 - why not cdr-tools - command line or right click from the desktop, or gnomebaker?
[07:51] <Sionide> nautilus* can't type tonight arrgghhhh
[07:51] <mdjake> Currently what is the best TV application for Dapper?
[07:51] <Zoffix_> yarddog, """"Edgy is not stable, it is for development only.  Do not use this on production machines"""" <<--- topic in #ubuntu+1
[07:51] <Sionide> mdjake, mythTV?
[07:51] <_Spire_> anon32: only because it needs to pull qt and some kde libs
[07:51] <Sionide> Zoffix_, Edgy is 6.10
[07:51] <yarddog> Zoffix_, in about 3 weeks, it is stable
[07:51] <Sionide> Zoffix_, Dapper is 6.06
[07:51] <_Spire_> anon32: if you have kde installed, it's only about 2MB
[07:51] <mdjake> Sionide: does it have teletext support?
[07:51] <blenda> hi! where is the dapper live cd? is it included in the desktop cd iso?
[07:51] <devios> why don't I find testdisk in synaptic
[07:51] <devios> ?
[07:51] <anon32> Zoffix_, there's like 2 projects that use the even/odd system
[07:51] <McNutella> how do I disable OSS  ?
[07:51] <_Spire_> blenda: yes, it is
[07:51] <Sionide> mdjake, not sure - you'd have to ask someone who uses it, but i've heard good things about it, ask google :)
[07:52] <blenda> _Spire_: thanks!
[07:52] <_Spire_> blenda: the desktop cd boots into the live cd, which includes the installer
[07:52] <mdjake> Sionide: thx for fast answer
[07:52] <blenda> _Spire_: ok!
[07:52] <Sionide> mdjake, http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythFeatures
[07:52] <carl> _Spire_ : yes
[07:52] <Sionide> mdjake, no worries, that's why #ubuntu rocks your socks:)
[07:52] <Aphex_Twin> Sinoide: hm... I think this is what I was looking for: http://tinyurl.com/p77m2
[07:52] <_Spire_> carl: hmm?
[07:52] <chaosmeika> Are there any users familiar with installing ubuntu 6 on an iMac G3? I need some assistance.
[07:53] <Sionide> Aphex_Twin, that looks good.. thanks for the link cos i've been looking for that too.. heh
[07:53] <carl> _Spire_ : sorry
[07:53] <THX-1138> blenda - the standard cd doesn't initialise the mount command for hd partitions only, cd/dvd drives. not sure why. (security? liability?)
[07:53] <Sionide> Aphex_Twin, i also use this; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=38938 (looks like forums are down but bookmark it and check back later!) it's awesome
[07:53] <Zoffix_> Sionide, ok, when I run zoffix@zoffix:~$ locate inittab  I get this: /usr/lib/upstart/migrate-inittab.pl     should I run this script or what?
[07:53] <blenda> THX-1138: ok, but I guess i can do this manually?
[07:53] <Aphex_Twin> Sinoide: This was a very functional feature of Konqueror, I'm surprised it did not get into gnome's Nautilus
[07:54] <TheGateKeeper> chaosmeika: nope, and what is your specific question?
[07:54] <Sionide> Aphex_Twin, it is... it's just like firefox extensions, all the brilliant functionality *some* people like can be added in, no troubles
[07:54] <Sionide> Zoffix_, really not sure, i'm just saying it's ok on my machine so i've no idea how to proceed on yours.. sorry
[07:55] <Zoffix_> Sionide, well, it seems like the script won't even run, because it checks to see if there is /etc/inittab and it is not there =(
[07:55] <THX-1138> blenda - i might guess that the "alternate install" text mode cd includes the ability to write to hard disk but haven't tried it. (psst, shhh - I use the knoppx cd. - gack don't tell anyone)
[07:55] <Sionide> Aphex_Twin, it's "Sionide" hehe, if you spell it wrong, it doesn't highlight to me what you've said!
[07:55] <Zoffix_> I am confused, it has to be somewhere, right?
[07:55] <Sionide> Zoffix_, i dunno i guess you could copy mine and put it there manually, yourself?? i'm just guessing now..
[07:55] <carl> hi, i have a toshiba gigabeat s (sync with MTP) did anyone know a program compatible with this playforsure (MTP)
[07:55] <pike_> is there some other config file for launching getty and such in edgy?
[07:55] <blenda> THX-1138: maybe i should get my hands on a knoppix cd too :-)
[07:55] <sproingie> not having an inittab seems like bad news.  init won't run anything if there isn't one, no?
[07:56] <Zoffix_> Sionide, yeah that would be a decent idea
[07:56] <Aphex_Twin> Sionide: ah, sorry for that
[07:56] <mister_roboto> Sionide: that's funny you say that. when you were talking to me earlier you weren't typing any name at all  :)
[07:56] <THX-1138> Aphex_Twin: Do you know a_pha?
[07:56] <bruenig> !upstart
[07:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upstart - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:56] <Zoffix_> Sionide, can you paste it? http://sial.org/pbot/
[07:56] <Aphex_Twin> THX-1138: no. what's that?
[07:56] <Sionide> mister_roboto, i usually do, but if i've just said something to someone and i say another line, i usually don't bother on the second line but maybe i should
[07:56] <bruenig> Zoffix_, maybe this has something to do with it? Just a guess http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstart
[07:57] <THX-1138> blenda - the dvd image has all three install modes for ubuntu. (dvds install faster and the image includes more avail packages )
[07:57] <_Spire_> THX-1138: What about writing to the hard drive? (I haven't been paying attention) The desktop CD can too.
[07:57] <Sionide> Zoffix_, so are you not even able to properly boot up at all then or what?
[07:57] <blenda> THX-1138: too bad i don't have a working dvd burner then :_(
[07:58] <blenda> THX-1138: but thanks for the hint anyway
[07:58] <chaosmeika> TheGateKeeper> Well, Im not that familiar with ubuntu, but I wanted to load my G3 with that as an OS instead of the default os9. I burned myself a copy of powerpc for it and went to install, only to run into an error. Is there something that I need to do before installing?
[07:58] <Zoffix_> Sionide, no, it boots up fine, but in graphical mode, I want it to boot in text mode
[07:58] <THX-1138> Aphex_Twin: Just someone here yesterday, they wanted help with the assistive applications - low vision.
[07:58] <_Spire_> chaosmeika: what error?
[07:58] <Zoffix_> bruno__, hm, yes makes sense, I wonder how do I change it to boot in the text mode now
[07:58] <Sionide> Zoffix_, ah i see, but i'm wondering *how* can it boot up fine if there is no inittab ?
[07:58] <Sionide> Zoffix_, ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 or f3 etc
[07:58] <_Spire_> Sionide: isn't it a different boot system
[07:59] <host`> how do I edit the servers/services that start up on boot?
[07:59] <carl> anyone know how to sync device (mp3 player) with MTP on linux ?
[07:59] <Sionide> Zoffix_, oh right oops to boot i dunno..
[07:59] <THX-1138> _Spire_: It can? - i saw a message during boot that said not initialising mount" - couldn't convince it later to see and cp fles to a second drie.
[07:59] <pike_> host`: if you look in /etc/init.d/ those are the scripts that run. you can sudo update-rc.d -f scriptname remove  or i think there are front ends for that
[08:00] <_Spire_> THX-1138: it should... just go to the terminal and 'sudo mount /dev/hdwhatever'
[08:00] <Zoffix_> Sionide, hehe, I know of that, I just need to reboot the X without rebooting the whole system, it seems that the reason why I can't find inittab is because of that Upstart thing, I'm reading now :)
[08:00] <pike_> host`: removing only removes the sym links in the rc.d directories under /etc/ you can still run the script manually like sudo /etc/init.d/scripname start
[08:00] <THX-1138> _Spire_ - Will do.
[08:00] <host`> thanks pike_
[08:01] <TheGateKeeper> chaosmeika: first off I am never used mac stuff so beware of anything I say, however sounds like the same problem windows users have, you need to repartition your disc to accept linux, I would recommend resizing first before going the whole distance removing your old partition
[08:01] <Sionide> Zoffix_, awesome, good thinking from bruenig then
[08:01] <_Spire_> THX-1138: although you should unmount before you install - there's a bug in the installer that makes it crash if a partition is mounted before it starts (at least for me, they might have fixed it now)
[08:01] <THX-1138> _Spire_ - What limits does the terminal impose on filename length?
[08:01] <Aphex_Twin> do you need to reboot the computer to get nautilus to load plugins?
[08:01] <edgarin> Hi I have a problem with the ubuntu 6.06 and my skype, when i try to call in skype show a error: Problem with sound device, ideas????
[08:02] <_Spire_> THX-1138: I'm not sure, though it's plenty long (like 255 characters or something around that)
[08:02] <TheGateKeeper> chaosmeika: I would imagine that the gparted livecd may be of use here
[08:02] <Sionide> edgarin, kill skype, kill anything else which might be using the soundcard, go to a terminal, type "killall esd" then "esd" you should hear some beeps, then run skype and try phoning someone -- that works for me
[08:03] <Sionide> edgarin, OR download the Skype Beta .deb file and I think that works better :)
[08:03] <thatGuy_>  hey
[08:03] <edgarin> ok
[08:03] <TheGateKeeper> chaosmeika: assuming I am not complete rubbish
[08:03] <thatGuy_> is there someone in here that can find what the last thing i said in here was?
[08:03] <thatGuy_> please
[08:03] <pike_> edgarin: i use ekiga as an alternative to skype works very well and is open but i know alot of people need skype
[08:03] <reverie> Heya guys.
[08:03] <thatGuy_> its a command that i want to save
[08:03] <jrib> thatGuy_: "hey"
[08:03] <thatGuy_> hey
[08:03] <thatGuy_> lol
[08:03] <thatGuy_> no
[08:03] <thatGuy_> about an hour ago
[08:03] <reverie> I finally got my motherboard to post.
[08:03] <Sionide> pike_, does ekiga connect to the skype network?
[08:03] <THX-1138> _Spire_ "cp /media/sda1/linux_fresh/gstreamer0.8-esd_0.8.12-1ubuntu2_i386.deb  /home/bill/Desktop " created an error. - bad spelling maybe?
[08:03] <thatGuy_> starts with "sudo"
[08:04] <pike_> Sionide: nope thats the problem skype is closed
[08:04] <pike_> :(
[08:04] <jrib> thatGuy_: sudo aptitude purge gnome-bin gnome-desktop-data gnome-panel gnome-panel-data gnome-utils gnome-libs-data gnome-control-center nautilus libgnome32 libgnomeui32 libgnomesupport0 gnome-session libgnorba27 libglade-gnome0 gnomp3
[08:04] <Sionide> pike_, well skype wins then...
[08:04] <thatGuy_> yes!  thanks
[08:04] <Sionide> *shrug*
[08:04] <Sionide> pike_, it's the way of the world :(
[08:04] <_Spire_> THX-1138: wait, are you running the livecd right now?
[08:04] <thatGuy_> it actually got rid of gnome
[08:04] <thatGuy_> now to re-install and see if that fixes the problem
[08:04] <haffe> Does anyone here have any experiience with suspend2 or is there an alternate way to get my nforce2 motherboard to do hibernate?
[08:04] <THX-1138> _Spire_ no, - my first halting steps at bash scripting.
[08:05] <_Spire_> THX-1138: Oh, ok. That should work. What's the error?
[08:05] <revolutionskate> I am having a problem with configuring my NVidia drivers with dapper... I have the nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common packages installed.  Then I ran sudo nvidia-glx-config enable and restart and the nvidia driver is not being loaded
[08:05] <khaije1> anyone one know if the edgy release will support xen-style virtualization as a guest?
[08:06] <khaije1> or would it need the usual patch...
[08:06] <CoolCubix> Aphex_Twin, you windowlicker ? ^^
[08:06] <THX-1138> _Spire_  - nvm - likely a spelling error. how would i dpk -i install everything in a directory?
[08:06] <_Spire_> THX-1138: sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[08:07] <THX-1138> s/dpk/dpkg/g
[08:07] <chaosmeika> TheGateKeeper>ok, ill looking into the gparted ubuntu install and see if that is a better solution than using the powerpc version
[08:07] <rahmiel> Setting up filesharing in my network.. I can access all the windows machines and files, but when a windows user tries to access my machine and files it prompts them for a login. My normal login doesn't work nor does a new user I setup. What am I missing?
[08:07] <chaosmeika> TheGateKeeper>thanks for the assistance.
[08:07] <Aphex_Twin> is there a (lightweight) text editor out there that can perform automatic code indenting and highliting? (the indenting is more important)
[08:07] <gksudo> Hello, is there a way to remove all gnome apps? Is removing libgtk a way to do so?
[08:07] <THX-1138> _Spire_ will it install them in the required order. resolve dependencies?
[08:08] <erider> Aphex_Twin:  nano
[08:08] <_Spire_> THX-1138: I'm not sure about in the required order - it just installs them in some order
[08:08] <bulio|> is there a command-line program that automatically tags music?
[08:08] <pike_> gksudo: thats the only way i know to do it. remove a popular dependancy
[08:08] <TheGateKeeper> chaosmeika: gparted livecd just has a partitioner on it, you will still need your powerpc ubuntu install disc
[08:08] <SAM_theman> who here has xmms?
[08:08] <SAM_theman> installed..
[08:08] <jrib> SAM_theman: probably a lot of people
[08:08] <_Spire_> THX-1138: if you want to resolve dependencies, that's what apt-get/aptitude was build for
[08:09] <TheGateKeeper> chaosmeika: gparted livecd is just a tool
[08:09] <bulio|> no one?
[08:09] <Aphex_Twin> erider: this only indents while the text is being written, but is there an editor that can indent ugly code?
[08:09] <SAM_theman> well i am having a problem with the equalizer
[08:09] <THX-1138> _Spire_ - so i could alpabetise/rename them?
[08:09] <SAM_theman> it dosn't work
[08:09] <_Spire_> THX-1138: *built
[08:09] <jrib> bulio|: id3v2 comes up in a search
[08:09] <erider> Aphex_Twin: have you tried vim
[08:09] <THX-1138> _Spire_ - Okay i'll play with aptitude.
[08:09] <Aphex_Twin> erider: It frightenes me
[08:09] <_Spire_> THX-1138: I'm not too sure... but you could try alphabatising them. btw, what are you trying to install?
[08:10] <rahmiel> Setting up filesharing in my network.. I can access all the windows machines and files, but when a windows user tries to access my machine and files it prompts them for a login. My normal login doesn't work nor does a new user I setup. What am I missing?
[08:10] <pike_> Aphex_Twin: vim with syntax on is a joy :)
[08:10] <THX-1138> _Spire_  xcompmgr - beryl gives me vertigo.
[08:10] <_Spire_> THX-1138: be sure to read it's manpage
[08:10] <_Spire_> THX-1138: xcompmgr? that should be a sime
[08:11] <_Spire_> THX-1138: *simple "sudo aptitude install xcompmgr"
[08:11] <chaosmeika> TheGateKeeper> ah ok. Is that tool located on the ubuntu website? If not, Ill do a search, but I wanted to know before hand...
[08:11] <bsnider> is there a way to change gnome's color scheme?
[08:11] <THX-1138> _Spire_: I will need to point it at a directory.
[08:11] <Aphex_Twin> erider, pike_: the opportunity costs of learning vim outweigh the bulkiness of Eclipse (for Java at least)
[08:11] <_Spire_> THX-1138: why?
[08:11] <erider> Aphex_Twin: its not that bad try vimtutor
[08:12] <jrib> bsnider: you can use a different theme
[08:12] <THX-1138> _Spire_ The packages are local. - xcompmgr isn't on a single repository.
[08:12] <bsnider> jrib: is that the only way?
[08:12] <jrib> bsnider: that's the only way I know of
[08:12] <_Spire_> THX-1138: it isn't? have you enabled universe? it should be there, unless you're using something predating dapper
[08:12] <w30> Aphex_Twin, there are editors or whatever you call them for writing code and keeping your indenting neat and consistant, check Google I suppose?
[08:12] <erider> Aphex_Twin: go to your command line and type: vimtutor
[08:12] <TheGateKeeper> chaosmeika: gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[08:13] <_Spire_> THX-1138: and besides, xcompmgr is a single package.
[08:13] <chaosmeika> TheGateKeeper> thanks
[08:13] <TheGateKeeper> chaosmeika: np :-) hope it all works out ok
[08:13] <THX-1138> _Spire_ - Yes, it is a single package and a very cool one. - the supporting apps for composite are difficult to sync.
[08:14] <SuperMiguel> any one know how to write basic on ubuntu?
[08:14] <_Spire_> THX-1138: that's strange... xcompmgr doesn't _have_ supporting apps when I installed it
[08:14] <THX-1138> _Spire_ - Many Thanks :) - I have learned something.
[08:15] <_Spire_> THX-1138: one more question - what does xcompmgr want when you install it?
[08:16] <THX-1138> _Spire_ Can i show you? - will "/xompmgr/ls > xcompmgr.txt be postable?
[08:16] <THX-1138> pastebin

[08:34] <pike_> deanz: np good luck
[08:34] <b03nto> is there update notifications for fluxbuntu ?
[08:34] <ubuntuJFP> THX-1138: Ctrl-C once "frozen" on waiting for root partition doesnot allow any keyboard input. I thin I need to modprobe the right module it8212.ko somwhere (what the LiveCD does well in fact..)
[08:34] <james_uk> hey, can anybody help me with a simple evolution problem?
[08:35] <SV452> hi all
[08:35] <s1`_> is there a source for newer versions of gaim for Dapper?
[08:35] <SV452> how do one make a dummy package ???
[08:36] <THX-1138> ubuntuJFP: I won't be much help with this. - using wireless. i setup a fixed ip address and disabled dhcp.
[08:36] <siloe> Hi, have sucess network two PCs. What way to directory  for acess by others software ???
[08:36] <meatface> Howdy all!
[08:36] <slimemonkey> Anyone recommend any java compilers and/or IDEs for ubuntu?
[08:36] <cherubiel> !samba
[08:36] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:37] <dings_> Could someone tell me if there is a reason for ubuntu's gallery2 to depend on mysql without postgres as an alternative?
[08:37] <siloe> Hi, have sucess network two PCs. What way to directory  for acess by others software ???
[08:37] <LSD`> if you specify a proxy server during installation, does that get stored anywhere? If so, where?
[08:37] <JDahl> slimemonkey, Eclipse is a fairly advanced IDE
[08:37] <meatface> Does anyone know if the sound driver is loaded before you login, or after?
[08:37] <LSD`> siloe: samba
[08:38] <dyn-afk_> before meatface
[08:38] <ubuntuJFP> THX-1138: Thks in any case, but I am not on a network pb but a boot partition/controller driver recognition.. anyone else ?
[08:38] <cherubiel> !samba > siloe
[08:38] <slimemonkey> JDahl: thx
[08:38] <dyn-afk_> the login screen produces a sound when it's done loading
[08:38] <meatface> What could happen after the login prompt to cause a conflict with the sound driver and freeze the gui?
[08:39] <Alakazam_> nothing
[08:39] <Alakazam_> tail /var/log/messages
[08:39] <Alakazam_> do that.
[08:40] <erik__> bonjour
[08:40] <WebDawg> wow
[08:40] <erik__> uiuiui
[08:40] <erik__> miauuu
[08:40] <WebDawg> 988 people an no ops
[08:40] <WebDawg> heh
[08:40] <meatface> dyn-afk, I realize that their is a sound before the promt, but I was thinking along the lines of a video driver. When you boot video is working but the os loads its video driver. So I was wondering if there was a possibility of this sort of thing with sound.
[08:41] <FRET> hey all
[08:41] <meatface> hey
[08:41] <FRET> what is the command to get my ubuntu-version?
[08:42] <FRET> II#m not talking about uname...
[08:42] <dyn-afk_> there's a difference with video since there is a framebuffer
[08:42] <egypt> FRET cat /etc/issue
[08:42] <FRET> egypt, thx
[08:43] <slimemonkey> does eclipse come with its own compiler?
[08:43] <b03nto> FRET: or lsb_release -a
[08:43] <siloe> Please!!! What common way, the system put "the shared directory" ???
[08:43] <boink> siloe: didn't understand your question
[08:44] <graveson> what tool can i use to extract audio to mp3 files - sound juicer does not seem to extract tom mp3
[08:44] <ruff|away> siloe, system / administration / shared folders
[08:44] <LSD`> graveson: grip + lame
[08:45] <SV452> hmmm - dummy packages anyone ?
[08:45] <b03nto> is there update notifications for fluxbuntu ?
[08:45] <FRET> b03nto, thx
[08:45] <youser> hey could anyone here help me with amsn on dapper?
[08:46] <egypt> youser what is your doubt ?
[08:46] <youser> well when i go to open amsn .95 it shows up on my panel  "starting amsn' but no window how up then it suddenly closes off the panel
[08:47] <youser> whoops
[08:47] <egypt> hm

[08:47] <egypt> at terminal
[08:47] <youser> when i go to open amsn theres no window  it just shows up in the panel as 'sarting amsn"
[08:48] <egypt> or checkout some register files gedit /cd/etc/fstab
[08:48] <Peisistratos> hello everyone
[08:48] <ruff|away> youser, have you got tcl/tk installed?
[08:48] <ruff|away> hello Peisistratos
[08:48] <youser> &amsn told me & was syntax error near unexpected token
[08:48] <Zoffix> Hi, my system is missing /etc/inittab does anybody know how I can change the boot mode from graphical to text in this case?
[08:48] <Peisistratos> will someone tell me if I can run ubuntu on an pc based on E6600 Intel CPU?
[08:49] <slimemonkey> how do i chekc whether or not i already have jdk (java) installed?
[08:49] <ProN00b> Peisistratos, how many megahurts does it have ?
[08:49] <marshall> does anybody have a .deb of any banshee plugins?
[08:49] <Peisistratos> well, it's 2,6GHz 64-bit
[08:49] <youser> egypt my ftsb came  up empty
[08:49] <ruff|away> slimemonkey, dpkg -l packagename
[08:50] <marshall> ProN00b, lol megahurts
[08:50] <Hallibutorn1> http://www.ratemytumor.com/
[08:50] <Hallibutorn1> hello
[08:50] <Hallibutorn1> marshall
[08:50] <marshall> ProN00b, its megahertz
[08:50] <Peisistratos> but all the releases on its site only mention AMD support
[08:50] <slimemonkey> ruff|away; thx
[08:50] <tgelter> how can I get gtkpod to load video files to my ipod 5g?
[08:50] <marshall> Hallibutorn1, yeah?
[08:50] <ProN00b> marshall, wrong, its megahurts
[08:50] <Peisistratos> hehe
[08:50] <youser> i dont get it man amsn worked fine on breezy but wheni upgraded to dapper it now wont open
[08:50] <marshall> ProN00b, why megahurts
[08:51] <Hallibutorn1> you marshall please stop
[08:51] <Zoffix> marshall: yeah it's megahurts what are you talking about? =)
[08:51] <dyn-afk> Intel has only 1 64 bit processor and that's the itanium2
[08:51] <ProN00b> marshall, because it hurts mega that other people have more than me
[08:51] <dyn-afk> all the others are 32 bit
[08:51] <marshall> ProN00b, o
[08:51] <ProN00b> Peisistratos, why shouldn't it run ?
[08:51] <dyn-afk> some of them have 64 bit extensions so they can do some 64 bit stuff
[08:51] <marshall> does anybody have a .deb of any banshee plugins?
[08:51] <Hallibutorn1> http://www.ratemytumor.com/
[08:51] <Peisistratos> so, what release do I download? x32 Intel?
[08:52] <silox> how do i configure xorg.conf and nvidia to twinview the screen on my TV? I have already 2 screens (only one enabled), i have a Dell Inspiron 8100 Laptop
[08:52] <youser> anyone knwo how to fix amsn?
[08:52] <Materazzi> !pastebin
[08:52] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
 but all the releases on its site only mention AMD support << that's because AMD64 is the same as what Intel uses in most of it's processors like the Core 2 Duo
[08:52] <ruff|away> youser, have you got tcl/tk already installed?
[08:52] <Peisistratos> oh ok dyn-afk
[08:52] <dyn-afk> AMD came up with the idea in the first place
[08:52] <youser> how do i know if i do?
[08:52] <dyn-afk> so the AMD64 Ubuntu version should work on both AMD and Intel processors that support it
[08:52] <Peisistratos> I getit
[08:52] <dyn-afk> like the Core 2 Duo
[08:53] <Samuli^> dyn-afk, yeah.
[08:53] <ruff|away> youser, go to synaptic and check it yourself
[08:53] <dyn-afk> but mind you, those processors aren't 64 bit
[08:53] <dyn-afk> they just have the ability to run 64 bit software
[08:53] <Samuli^> core 2 duo is 64bit.
[08:53] <dyn-afk> big difference
[08:53] <Peisistratos> thanks man...yeah, they have 64-bit extensions
[08:53] <cherubiel> youser, ltrace amsn
[08:53] <dyn-afk> no, the core 2 duo is 32 bit
[08:53] <ProN00b> Peisistratos, you are still better of with a x86 because it can run more proprietary software
[08:53] <harisund> How do I download the source for the iptables package? Is there an apt-get for downloading the sources? Is there a deb entry I have to add?
[08:53] <dyn-afk> it has 64 bit extensions (that's what AMD64 means)
[08:53] <b03nto> is there any cli command to see if i need to upgrade something..?
[08:53] <Samuli^> dyn-afk, do you really want to start an argue about semantics?
[08:54] <dyn-afk> it's like a half implementation of 64 bit
[08:54] <ProN00b> Peisistratos, like flash and nvidia drivers
[08:54] <LSD`> b03nto: apt-get update maybe
[08:54] <cherubiel> b03nto, apt-get upgrade?
[08:54] <b03nto> is there any cli command to see if i need to update something..?
[08:54] <Peisistratos> ok guys...thnx 4 the help...
[08:54] <Peisistratos> I'm on board with x86
[08:54] <cherubiel> b03nto, update is for updating your indexes
[08:54] <harisund> b03nto, first do apt-get update, then do apt-get upgrade
[08:54] <slimemonkey> is it possible to install jdk without downloading self extracting files? i.e. can i do it through repositories....?
[08:54] <LSD`> dyn-afk: I'm pretty sure C2D has EMT64
[08:54] <cherubiel> slimemonkey, apt-get install sun-java*
[08:54] <b03nto> im looking a replacement for gnome update notifications, couse im using fluxbox
[08:54] <Samuli^> LSD`, it does.
[08:55] <xav> oh crap forums are still down
[08:55] <dyn-afk> but the 32 bit version of ubuntu is better, like ProN00b already said: there's more software for it then for the 64 bit version
[08:55] <slimemonkey> cherubiel: oh! that looks easy enough, thanks
[08:55] <dyn-afk> same goes for windowsxp
[08:55] <harisund> How do I download the source for the iptables package? Is there an apt-get for downloading the sources? Is there a deb entry I have to add?
[08:55] <youser> odd i never needed nor heard f tcl/tk before
[08:55] <dyn-afk> LSD` that's the same as AMD64 ;)
[08:55] <ruff|away> youser, amsn needs tcl/tk
[08:55] <youser> i see
[08:55] <LSD`> dyn-afk: There used to be a two instruction difference between AMD64 and EMT64, not sure if that's still the case tho
[08:55] <cherubiel> youser, apt-get install tck
[08:56] <xav> harisund, yes it's just deb-src instead of deb in sources.list
[08:56] <cherubiel> youser, apt-get install tk
[08:56] <dyn-afk> It was designed by Advanced Micro Devices, which markets it under the name AMD64. This architecture has also been adopted under the names EM64T, IA-32e, and Intel64[1]  by Intel.
[08:56] <youser> i would have thogh t if it worked in breezy it would have camewith dapper upgrade enabled
[08:56] <xav> harisund, then apt-get source foo
[08:56] <cherubiel> youser, apt-get install tcl tk
[08:56] <harisund> xav oh .. that makes it convenient... thanks !
[08:56] <harisund> xav where do the sources get installed? I mean in which directory?
[08:56] <xav> current one
[08:56] <xav> so create one before
[08:56] <cherubiel> youser, what does ltrace amsn give ?
[08:56] <xav> and run apt-get source in it
[08:56] <youser> what does what/
[08:56] <dyn-afk> iptables is already installed in Ubuntu if I'n not mistaken
[08:57] <youser> ahh one sec
[08:57] <harisund> dyn-afk, iptables is installed. I want the source.
[08:57] <dyn-afk> you just need to set it up
[08:57] <Psychobudgie> youser,  if you are going to install amsn, I'd wait till the forums are back up
[08:57] <dyn-afk> ok, that's different :P
[08:57] <cherubiel> youser, type "ltrace amsn" and paste the results in a pastebin
[08:57] <tgelter> in this webpage (http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/initial-linux-support-for-the-5g-video-ipod-video-sync-using-gtkpod-libgpod) it says to apply a patch that can be downloaded there...to run a patch, do I just make it +x and try to run it in the same directory as the files it is supposed to modify?
[08:57] <youser> ltrace: Can't open ELF file "/usr/bin/amsn"
[08:57] <harisund> ok thanks xav..
[08:58] <Psychobudgie> youser, theres an alternative source which will provide the latest version of TCL along with AMSN which will enable anti aliasing fonts along with other things
[08:58] <cute_bettong> can anyone tell me why ubuntu dosen't see the full 256mb of ram on my geforce fx 5500?
[08:58] <Psychobudgie> youser,  theres a thread on the official forum that documents what to do
[08:58] <cherubiel> youser, do you see the binary at /usr/bin ?
[08:59] <xav> tgelter, you need to get the sources, then apply the patch using patch, then compile the program
[08:59] <ProN00b> cute_bettong, how much does it see ?
[08:59] <friendzis> would ubuntu work on 200mhz and 64mb ram?
[08:59] <cute_bettong> im not sure ProN00b but my game reports only 128
[09:00] <xav> friendzis, I wouldn't try ubuntu gnome desktop on that
[09:00] <w30> just cut and paste that to a file anc name it inittab
[09:00] <youser> yeah the file is in usr/bin
[09:00] <cute_bettong> is there a way to quiry the card to see?
[09:00] <youser> its a sh file
[09:00] <ruff|away> friendzis, not with gnome
[09:00] <xav> friendzis, a simple window manager could maybe run
[09:01] <ProN00b> friendzis, maybe xubuntu, but i wouldn't bet on it
[09:01] <ruff|away> friendzis, try fluxbuntu :D
[09:01] <friendzis> so i shouldn't even try it?
[09:01] <xav> yep
[09:01] <b03nto> friendzis: what about fluxbuntu, xubuntu still heavy...
[09:01] <xav> friendzis, try a simple window manager
[09:01] <Gabby_Hayes> friendzis  .. if you use that system, try to have two HDs .. and a swap on each HD ... helps your system
[09:01] <ruff|away> openbox is very lightweight
[09:02] <gandolfthewizar1> hi
[09:02] <youser> E: Release 'tk' for 'tcl' was not found
[09:02] <xav> friendzis, there are plenty of them. fluxbox is just one, some others are even lighter
[09:02] <Zarephath> I get this error message with subversion: svn: Can't make directory 'libsynce': No such file or directory  anyone tell me what is up?
[09:02] <ruff|away> youser, tcl8.5
[09:02] <NAuthorious> newbie having problems with getting his internet connection up and running under drapper drake
[09:02] <ruff|away> youser, tk8.5
[09:02] <gandolfthewizar1> looking for help with java
[09:02] <youser> cani apt-get those?
[09:02] <Ropechoborra> Wich is the command to upgrade to edgy ?
[09:02] <friendzis> i see
[09:03] <ruff|away> Ropechoborra, update-manager -c -d
[09:03] <b03nto> xav: what xav, i need something lighter too..
[09:03] <friendzis> this pc works quite fine under win 98
[09:03] <ruff|away> youser, u'd better do that from within synaptic
[09:03] <Zarephath> Ropechoborra: You will have to edit your repos first..then sudo apt-get distupgrade
[09:03] <xav> b03nto, lighter than what ?
[09:03] <b03nto> lighter than xubuntu...
[09:03] <xav> b03nto, you could start trying fluxbox
[09:03] <b03nto> nicer than fluxbox...
[09:03] <marshall> does anybody happen to have the rezlooks .deb lying around?
[09:04] <Ropechoborra> Zarephath it says invalid operation
[09:04] <ruff|away> Ropechoborra, alt+f2 then type in there gksudo "update-manager -c -d"
[09:04] <Zarephath> rff|away: Really...update manager can do it too?
[09:04] <youser> hmm theyre both istalled
[09:04] <Gabby_Hayes> friendzis  .. I have had a linux system on a 133 with 64Mb of ram  working at one time  (RH)
[09:04] <ruff|away> icewm is a nice alternative too
[09:04] <xav> b03nto, nicer in which area?
[09:04] <slimemonkey> what is the difference between the synaptic package manager, aptitude, and apt-get, other than just the interfaces?
[09:04] <youser> so i have tcl/tk installed but no amsn
[09:04] <Zarephath> Ropechoborra: Did you change where your repositories are pointed? try ruff|away suggestion
[09:04] <ruff|away> Zarephath, yep yep.. i've updated to edgy yesterday :D
[09:04] <Ropechoborra> Ok
[09:04] <Ropechoborra> Ty
[09:04] <cherubiel> youser, you haven't installed it??
[09:05] <agent> is having a kernel tagged #2 smp in /proc/version normal if one is without smp? don't remember this in dapper
[09:05] <youser> installed what?
[09:05] <b03nto> it has something like gnome-update-notifications
[09:05] <cherubiel> youser, amsn?
[09:05] <xav> b03nto, anyway, it's very easy to try plenty of window manager. just install them, and choose the one you want in the login manager
[09:05] <Zarephath> ruff|away: Kewl thanks...only knew the command line way until now..heh
[09:05] <youser> yes
[09:05] <youser> i have amsninstalled
[09:05] <Ropechoborra> ruff|away can i upgrade wile im using the pc ?
[09:05] <friendzis> Gabby_Hayes and it's better than win?
[09:05] <youser> i evenuninstalled and reinstalled
[09:05] <ruff|away> Ropechoborra, yep
[09:05] <Gabby_Hayes> friendzis  .. it was better than any M$  product, yes
[09:05] <Zarephath> ruff|away: Do you know if edgy will support syncing to PocketPC with Mobile 5 OS?
[09:06] <ruff|away> Zarephath, i've had problems with nautilus when i tried to update into edgy by changin' the sources.list
[09:06] <cherubiel> friendzis, whats your need dude?
[09:06] <xav> b03nto, you could try enlightenment, openbox, icewm, fvwm, windowmaker, wmii
[09:06] <ruff|away> Zarephath, yep prolly yes
[09:06] <cherubiel> friendzis, try wmaker - amazingly light, low memory footprint
[09:06] <ruff|away> windowmaker is crap
[09:06] <friendzis> cherubiel some1 said that ubuntu is quite good thing
[09:06] <ruff|away> lol
[09:06] <xav> ruff|away, why ?
[09:06] <youser> ubuntu kicks ass
[09:07] <ruff|away> too outdated
[09:07] <ruff|away> try something newer
[09:07] <youser> ive been off windows for about a month now
[09:07] <xav> ruff|away, the look is quite bad, but it's quite interesting
[09:07] <dfgas> how do i change my hostname?
[09:07] <cherubiel> ruff|away, waht are you on now??
[09:07] <ruff|away> gnome
[09:07] <LSD`> youser: could have fooled me :P
 ruff|away: Do you know if edgy will support syncing to PocketPC with Mobile 5 OS? << prolly not
[09:07] <ruff|away> got to love the gnome thingy :D
[09:07] <youser> lol
[09:07] <gandolfthewizar1> how do i install jave run time for linux
[09:07] <xav> ruff|away, there are great ideas in wmaker
[09:07] <dyn-afk> wm5 is limited to syncing with activesync and outlook on windows
[09:07] <b03nto> thanks xav, do you know how to see what i need to update from cli, something like gnome-update-notifications..?
