[10:17] <WEW> imaginator how do I make the default screen 0
 Yeah, it's only just gotten to version 1 :O
[10:17] <AdemoS> Hemebond, haha, never thought I
[10:17] <AdemoS> I'd be solving OTHER people's problems here
[10:18] <th0r> nocturn xmms doesn't like it either
[10:18] <Sergemine> Jowi_n1, it sounds just like what I need, but I never did it before. Could you please give a little more detail??? Please. alias, declarations - no idea what it is and where to look for it
[10:18] <imaginator> WEW: I'm not certain, but perhaps via your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  mine is by default screen 0
[10:18] <c9s> imaginator: yeah, it's a long path
[10:18] <c9s> imaginator: yeah, it's a long path  #>> hello , i have command to rename a file ( mv foobar/foo.bak foobar/foo ) , how do i make this command shorter or faster  :)
[10:18] <Hemebond> AdemoS: Did you get 3 running?
[10:18] <Jowi_n1> Sergemine, luckily I don't have to - there's a Sample of how the alias works at the bottom of the man page :)
[10:18] <th0r> nocturn mplayer froze on it <smile>
[10:19] <WEW> imaginator: Mine was normal before, but after I restarted gdm, somehow everything's now going to the 2nd screen
[10:19] <Sonja> what app can i use to compose music?
[10:19] <AdemoS> Hemebond, 3 what?
[10:19] <Hemebond> AdemoS: Azureus 3
[10:19] <Jowi_n1> Sergemine, however, if it can be achieved with a gui as Myrtti said, perhaps that's easier...
[10:19] <c9s> imaginator: the path i actually have might be foobar/fff/ddd/zzz/eee/qqq/hhh/foo.bak
[10:19] <imaginator> c9s: I suppose you could use a variable for the long prefix
[10:19] <Sergemine> Jowi_n1, where do I set alias and declaration???
[10:19] <nocturn> th0r: It freezes any program I tried...
[10:20] <nocturn> Nice stream :-)
[10:20] <Sonja> to compose a midi or whatever
[10:20] <jimmio> imaginator: sorry to bug you again... but it seems I have a similar issue... this time with a function called IMG_Load which isn't declared anywhere X_X
[10:20] <c9s> imaginator: hmm can i save the variable in the same line ?
[10:20] <Jowi_n1> Sergemine, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf is the config file
[10:20] <inSanity_808> fUGLY : dude!
[10:21] <jimmio> imaginator: nvm, I got it I believe
[10:21] <Jowi_n1> Sergemine, my dhclient.conf file already contain an alias commented out that seem useful.
[10:21] <AdemoS> Hemebond, oh Azureus 3, no I was only working with <IP_ADDRESS>. I guess I could grab it, though this is working fine
[10:21] <AdemoS> Hemebond, got a deb or a repo I can sign up for?
[10:22] <c9s> imaginator: i have a idea
[10:22] <Sergemin1> Jowi_n1, I got disconneted so probably missed reply. Where can I setup alias and declarations, dhcp client ??? PLS
[10:22] <Hemebond> AdemoS: You have to download a .jar from the website. I recommend just sticking with 2.5.
[10:22] <imaginator> c9s: VAR=/some/long/path ; mv $VAR/file foo/bar
[10:22] <c9s> imaginator: mv something{.dic,}
[10:22] <Hemebond> AdemoS: Azureus is a dog to upgrade.
[10:22] <c9s> imaginator: mv something{.bak,}
[10:22] <AdemoS> Hemebond, haha "Update Manager: Congratulations, you have the newest version"
[10:22] <AdemoS> I'll just take their word fo rit
[10:22] <Jowi_n1> Sergemine, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf is the config file.It should already contain a sample "alias" section in there that you can just comment out and modify.
[10:22] <Jowi_n1> Sergemin1, ^^^
[10:22] <c9s> imaginator: seems worky
[10:23] <c9s> imaginator: so i can do ... mv foobar/something{.bak,}
[10:23] <imaginator> WEW: do you have any mention of your "Default Screen" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ServerLayout?
[10:23] <c9s> imaginator: cool
[10:24] <Sergemin1> Jowi_n1, are there any GUI tools for that?
[10:24] <WEW> imaginator yes it's there
[10:24] <Jowi_n1> Sergemin1, I don't know.
[10:25] <Sergemin1> Jowi_n1, thank you
[10:25] <c9s> Sergemin1: $ sudo dhclient ?
[10:25] <WEW> imaginator; but not in server layout
[10:25] <imaginator> what section is it in?
[10:25] <c9s> Sergemin1: the config file is inside /etc/network/*
[10:26] <jmcd> wow a large group ....
[10:26] <WEW> imaginator it's there in section "Screen"
[10:26] <c9s> Sergemin1: you can setup your dhcp config in /etc/network/interface
[10:26] <Sergemin1> c9s, if I google for it - what is that I should be lloking for: DHCP client setup ???
[10:27] <jimmio> imaginator: Again it was a needed library, got it going now. Thanks again for the initial help, I'd be no where without ya
[10:28] <imaginator> jimmio: I'm glad you have it working :)
[10:29] <WEW> imaginator: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=9300 This is what my xorg.conf says
[10:29] <WEW> imaginator: I never added anything in there myself. I let nvidia-settings set it up
[10:29] <WEW> imaginator: It was working fine till now.. I don't know how it set a default screen without asking me
[10:30] <spdf> WEW: Likely the order they're initialized in
[10:30] <amikrop> Hello. I already have PHP installed in my system. How can I use the mail() function (should I install an MTA, and how to configure it)?
[10:30] <IndyGunFreak> WEW: what are you trying to do?
[10:30] <WEW> spdf okay so how do I make the first screen initialize
[10:31] <WEW> IndyGunFreak: When I try to run something from terminal, it's opening in my 2nd screen..
[10:31] <IndyGunFreak> WEW: hang on, i remember having that problem..
[10:31] <WEW> IndyGunFreak: I want it to open in whichever screen I pulled up the terminal from
[10:31] <AdemoS> Hemebond, trying the deb from here, I'll let you know if it works out http://getdeb.net/release.php?id=1700
[10:31] <imaginator> WEW: I wonder if it could be the xinerama settings. I don't personally use xinerama, with my multiple displays
[10:32] <WEW> I lost sound earlier and I had to close gdm before removing the module and adding it back.. After I started gdm, now my 2nd screen is the default one somehow
[10:32] <WEW> imaginator: I don't have xinerama enabled
[10:32] <imaginator> WEW: did you use this: #Removed Option "Xinerama" "1"  ?
[10:32] <AdemoS> Hemebond, sorry that was 64 bit only, this has both http://getdeb.net/app.php?name=Azureus
[10:32] <imaginator> oh I see
[10:32] <Sergemine> c9s, DHCP client settings is the place where alternative IP (static) can be set ???
[10:32] <WEW> No I didnt do anything to the screen setup
[10:32] <WEW> It was working fine
[10:33] <IndyGunFreak> its in nvidia settings, i just can't remember what i changed
[10:34] <Jowi_n1> Sergemine, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf . check if it doesn't already contain an alias. it is simple to remove the #'s and adjust the IP+Netmask and save the file....
[10:35] <AdemoS> Hemebond, not only did Azuerus 3 work, I'm using it to update to the newest one, looking very nice
[10:35] <AdemoS> bookmark getdeb.net it's been a lifesaver for me
[10:35] <Sergemine> Jowi_n1, thank you again!
[10:36] <Hemebond> AdemoS: Cheers.
[10:36] <sasha_> hi
[10:36] <sasha_> i'm on hp compaq-dx2300
[10:37] <sasha_> from "lspci" i've : http://rafb.net/p/WDzHgt96.html
[10:37] <sasha_> how can i install the right driver ?
[10:37] <fUGLY> Hi Everybody. I am new with linux (ubuntu). I am trying to get my screen resolution right and to get my external samsung monitor working also. My Video card is a GeForce FX Go 5300. Could someone help me installing the correct drivers?
[10:38] <c9s> Jowi_n1: cool
[10:38] <sasha_> the video card is an :VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82946GZ/GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[10:38] <IndyGunFreak> !nvidia | fUGLY
[10:38] <ubotu> fUGLY: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:39] <imaginator> WEW: I wish I had further advice other than hints.  You mentioned that you restarted GDM.  Perhaps it has something to do with changing the default screen.
[10:39] <AdemoS> hey guys, what dir would Azureus be located in? Following this guide http://azureuswiki.com/index.php/Failed_Update#Linux.2FUnix_notes
[10:39] <rich__> Question: I can mkds with a VM of CentOS 5 but i cannot mkfs from my host install of ubuntu 'device busy or in use'
[10:40] <iblicf> hi , what is 'fanbois' means , sorry im translate somthing from english to chinese
[10:40] <imaginator> sasha_: so you're trying to get X11 working with that card outside of VESA mode?
[10:40] <f0g_> hi i have a sound problem, my creative travelmate speakers don't work in gutsy
[10:40] <sasha_> imaginator: yes
[10:40] <bangkok> hi everyone from Italy ... i have problem with my new web cam SN9C201 ... some one have any news about driver? i tried the one at linux-projects ... installe coreclty ... but get this error: FATAL: Error inserting sn9cxxx (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/sn9c102/sn9cxxx.ko): Invalid argument
[10:41] <sasha_> i just wont use the right driver for my machine :-/
[10:41] <IndyGunFreak> sasha_: curious, did your sound work out of the box?
[10:41] <bangkok> pls IM me for any tip
[10:41] <Hemebond> AdemoS: I just fixed the errors I was getting. Was a permissions thing. Probably when I ran it as root so that the auto-update rubbish would work.
[10:42] <f0g_> i have a sound problem, my creative travelmate speakers don't work in gutsy can anyone help?
[10:42] <AdemoS> Hemebond, how would I run it as root?
[10:43] <Hemebond> AdemoS: I was just running using sudo
[10:43] <Hemebond> Or something.
[10:43] <Hemebond> Can't remember now.
[10:43] <Hemebond> Never run things as root.
[10:43] <imaginator> sasha_: from what I've just read the i810 driver for Xorg may work
[10:44] <sasha_> how can i install it ?  using apt-get ?
[10:44] <dep1> hello and happy new year
[10:44] <AdemoS> Hemebond, what I mean is, how do I exec the program with sudo?
[10:44] <Hemebond> sudo azureus
[10:45] <dep1> who can help me to compile 7.10 kernel with restricted drivers support?
[10:45] <IndyGunFreak> Hemebond: why in the world would you do that?
[10:45] <imaginator> sasha_: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-i810
[10:45] <IndyGunFreak> dep1: just ask your question.
[10:45] <Hemebond> IndyGunFreak: Because I was getting errors about updates and permissions. Azureus has an auto-update feature.
[10:45] <sasha_> ok :-D
[10:46] <Myrtti> dep1: and how do you know it's not already compiled with restricted drivers support?
[10:46] <IndyGunFreak> Hemebond: hmm, you shouldn't need to do tht.
[10:46] <dep1> IndyGunFreak: thanks. I must use the MultiTech GPRS modem, i've patched the files but now i would recompile kernel (ubuntu 7.10)
[10:46] <IndyGunFreak> dep1: you shouldn't need to recompile the kernel, ndiswrapper will probably get your modem working, using the windows driver, but i'm not real familiar w/ it.
[10:46] <f0g_> built in laptop speakers are working, but standalone not...
[10:47] <Hemebond> IndyGunFreak: Agreed. I should be able to just install it through Synaptic.
[10:47] <imaginator> dep1: does it not build as a module?  just make sure the module gets copied to the right place, and modprobe or insmod it
[10:47] <dep1> IndyGunFreak: well i've the WinXP version, did you think it's working with ndiswrapper?
[10:48] <Maverick> why is my ubuntu using my ppp0 ip for my LAN?
[10:48] <IndyGunFreak> dep1: ndiswrapper is to use windows drivers w/ modems, wireless devices, etc.
[10:48] <dep1> IndyGunFreak:thanks, but how i can install /use ndiswrapper?
[10:49] <IndyGunFreak> dep1: now that, i don't know... i'm not ral familiar w/ how it works.
[10:49] <wols> 1ndiswrapper
[10:49] <IndyGunFreak> what type of modem do you have again
[10:49] <wols> !ndiswrapper
[10:49] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:49] <IndyGunFreak> !ndiswrapper
[10:49] <wols> IndyGunFreak: how do you know it works with modems?
[10:49] <IndyGunFreak> thats more releating to wifi/wireless... but its the same basic concept to get your dial up modem working.
[10:49] <wols> gprs ones at that?
[10:50] <IndyGunFreak> wols: i've saw it recommended here... i have no first hand experience w/ it.. i've just saw suggested using ndiswrapper w/ dial up modems
[10:50] <f0g_> !sound
[10:50] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[10:50] <ikonia> I don't think it will work with modems due to the winmodem chip issues
[10:50] <IndyGunFreak> hmm maybe not win modems..... what about *normal* modems?
[10:50] <wols> IndyGunFreak: I've seen people suggesing ndiswrapper for any windows drivers..
[10:51] <ikonia> IndyGunFreak: normal modems won't need windows drivers
[10:51] <wols> IndyGunFreak: "normal" modems don't need special drivers
[10:51] <IndyGunFreak> ikonia: i thought that as soon as i typed it..lol
[10:51] <ttt--> what if a process doesnt respond to pkill or kill
[10:51] <ttt--> iit just keeps running
[10:51] <IndyGunFreak> ttt--: hit your pc with a hammer
[10:51] <wols> ttt--: kill -9 ?
[10:51] <ikonia> ttt--: are you the owner ? is the process zombied ? what kill level are you hitting it with ?
[10:51] <ttt--> what does -9 do?
[10:52] <WEW> ndiswrapper is for any windows driver? So I can install my scanner too?
[10:52] <ikonia> WEW: it's not a generic windows driver tool
[10:52] <IndyGunFreak> !dialup | dep1
[10:52] <ubotu> dep1: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up
[10:52] <ttt--> ok -9 did the trick, thanks!
[10:52] <imaginator> ttt--: it sends a SIGKILL signal to the process. SIGKILL is unblockable and can't be caught.
[10:52] <wols> WEW: no the point is it's NOT for any driver, but (W)LAN only
[10:53] <WEW> okay, that's what I thought
[10:53] <Arelis> How can i remove XGL?
[10:53] <wols> Arelis: apt-get remove xserver-xgl
[10:53] <keldon> ciao  a tutti
[10:53] <Arelis> and restore my old X confgi?
[10:53] <Arelis> config*
[10:54] <IndyGunFreak> i've saw ndiswrapper suggested for dial u modems here, like i said, i can't verify it works/doesn't work, it was really just a suggestion...
[10:54] <wols> Arelis: /etc/X11/xorg.conf* are all your old ones
[10:54] <wols> the number after is a date/time
[10:54] <keldon> ho dei problemi con la scheda video

[10:54] <Maverick> my ubuntu uses ppp0 address instead of eth0 in my LAN apps due to which i am unable to use them....routing and ip tables for windows as well as ubuntu are here...http://file-post.com/view_code.php?id=636...please help
[10:55] <keldon> thx
[10:55] <IndyGunFreak> was that italian?
[10:55] <Myrtti> yup
[10:55] <IndyGunFreak> didn't knwo that.
[10:55] <Maverick> my ubuntu uses ppp0 address instead of eth0 in my LAN apps due to which i am unable to use them....routing and ip tables for windows as well as ubuntu are here...http://file-post.com/view_code.php?id=636
[10:55] <IndyGunFreak> !repeat | Maverick
[10:55] <ubotu> Maverick: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:56] <Maverick> i did that because the link was wrong
[10:56] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[10:56] <ikonia> Maverick: routting for windows ?
[10:56] <wols> Maverick: where does eth0 get its IP from?
[10:57] <Maverick> wols: hmm...its actually my LAN
[10:57] <wols> Maverick: answer my question please
[10:57] <balou> jggjh
[10:57] <Maverick> wols: i gave it myself
[10:57] <AdemoS> Hemebond, so how did you exec the program with sudo?
[10:57] <ikonia> Maverick: ppp0 has a public(internet) facing ip address ?
[10:58] <f0g_> why built in speakers are working, and when i plug in creative speakers i can't hear a thing?
[10:58] <ikonia> Maverick: are you connected to the internet in any way ?
[10:58] <Maverick> ikonia, yes...ppp0 is my internet address
[10:58] <wols> Maverick: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces
[10:58] <AdemoS> Hemebond, ah didn't read the part about you forgetting, never mind
[10:58] <Hemebond> AdemoS: probably gksudo azureus
[10:58] <AdemoS> ooh
[10:58] <AdemoS> thanks
[10:58] <ikonia> Maverick: so what's the problem, your getting the correct settings on your ppp0 device
[10:58] <wols> running a p2p client as root is a spectacular dumb thing to do
[10:58] <AdemoS> what's the difference between gksudo and sudo?
[10:59] <IndyGunFreak> wols: he's been told that like 4x..lol, he comes up with some reason to justify it..lol
[10:59] <Hemebond> AdemoS: As far as I understand it, sudo is console, gksudo is gnome|gui.
[10:59] <Maverick> ikonia: i am unable to use my lan properly
[10:59] <AdemoS> ahh
[10:59] <ikonia> Maverick: because youru default route is ppp0
[10:59] <wols> IndyGunFreak: who? AdemoS or Hemebond
[10:59] <ikonia> Maverick: so everything will go out of ppp0
[10:59] <IndyGunFreak> Hemebond:
[10:59] <wols> ikonia: not everything
[10:59] <Hemebond> IndyGunFreak: I'm not running it as root.
[10:59] <ikonia> wols: well pretty much everything he has setup wil
[10:59] <Maverick> http://file-post.com/view_code.php?id=637
[10:59] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[10:59] <ikonia> will
[11:00] <Maverick> ikonia: yes, it dosent use my eth0 IP address
[11:00] <wols> ikonia: certainly not or using ubuntu as a router would be impossible
[11:00] <wols> Maverick: using eth0 for WHAT?
[11:00] <Maverick> wols: LAN
[11:00] <Maverick> wols: ethernet
[11:00] <hades_> hello, i have a wierd bug. I dont know if tis is a firefox thing or an ubuntu thing. But Facebook.com takes a long time to load. but it only happens on my computer. it does a huge looking for site, then suddenly loads in a burst. Other computers in the house have no trouble and load it instantly
[11:00] <ikonia> Maverick: look at his routing table in the psot
[11:01] <ikonia> wols: sorry, I meant that for you, look at his routing table in the post
[11:01] <wols> Maverick: how do you try to access the lAN? what apps, doing what?
[11:01] <wols> Maverick: not "ethernet" is HOW, not WHAT. learn to answer the questions you're asked. not the least we still haven't seen the interfacs file
[11:01] <ikonia> Maverick: you need a route for your 10.x addresses
[11:01] <Maverick> wols: gaming, sharing and the normal stuff
[11:02] <wols> ikonia: 132.  localnet * <IP_ADDRESS> U 0 0 0 eth0
[11:02] <ikonia> that won't work
[11:02] <ikonia> he'll need to call out explicit 10.x
[11:02] <dep1> please, who can help me to recompile ubuntu kernel 2.66.22 with restricted drivers support?
[11:02] <ikonia> dep1: you don't need to recompile a kernel
[11:02] <AdemoS> thanks for the help guys
[11:02] <AdemoS> be back later
[11:02] <ikonia> dep1: the ubuntu kernel ships with support fo the correct drivers
[11:03] <dep1> ikonia: i've patched a ti_usb* to support multitech modem but now i must rebuild the kernel. how i can do?
[11:04] <ikonia> dep1: it depends if you just want to build it, or build it with a debian package format
[11:04] <ikonia> dep1: I suggest you log a request for that patch to be included in the next kernel update to ubuntu
[11:07] <Maverick> ikonia: how can i route my 10.x address?
[11:08] <dep1> ikonia: this is the problem i dont know how to rebuild. can you give me the correct steps?
[11:08] <ikonia> Maverick: you need to setup your card to configure properly at boot time, with the correct routing / ip information, wols was asking to see the file that sets this up
[11:09] <Maverick> ikonia: i posted it, the interfaces file isnt it?
[11:09] <ikonia> dep1: thats what I'm asking how do you want to rebuild with/without package manager support - but you should also be aware that doing this will be broke when the next ubuntu kernel update comes out, which is why I'm suggesting you log a request to have ubuntu include the patch
[11:10] <murf3326> I'm running Ubuntu 7.10.  When I shutdown my monitors and PC power-down ok, but my USB devices remain powered. (my Logitech G15 Keyboard remains fully lit).  I Googled and found a couple of older Ubuntu/Linux bugs for USB devices remaining powered after shutdown.  Anyone know if there is a fix available for this problem?
[11:10] <ikonia> Maverick: I've not see that post
[11:10] <uruca> devo copiare il contenuto di una partizione ntfs da 80 gb illegibile e non montabile su un altro hard disk più grande. Al momento sta girando partimage, ma sta a 0% da quasi mezz'ora, non so se sta lavorando o meno

[11:10] <Maverick> ikonia: http://file-post.com/view_code.php?id=637
[11:10] <dep1> ikonia: how i can ask to ubuntu development include my patch for the MultiTech GRPS Modem support?
[11:11] <uruca> join #ubuntu-it
[11:11] <ikonia> Maverick: that looks fine, I didn't realise your subnet mask was <IP_ADDRESS>, you do have a route setup for that already
[11:12] <audigy> hello, yould someone help me, i have some problems with my mic, my soundcard is audigy 2 zs and sound works fine
[11:12] <ikonia> Maverick: I'm not sure I understand your problem, you've got internet accss fine, and if you connect to anything on the 10.x address range that should work
[11:13] <ikonia> Maverick what is not working ?
[11:13] <Maverick> ikonia: my problem is that my LAN games/azureus/messengers etc. use my ppp0 203.x IP address due to which i cannot see the peers or the other PCs in my network listed
[11:13] <ikonia> Maverick: thats because ppp0 is your default route
[11:14] <Maverick> ikonia: if i set 10.x as the default route, i lose connection to the internet
[11:14] <ikonia> Maverick: unless you tell your games/messager to connect TO a 10.x address they won't use the 10 address
[11:14] <ikonia> Maverick: why do you want a messager to connect to a 10.x address ?
[11:14] <libqt4> im having trouble playing an .avi file anyone?
[11:14] <LucidFox> Any iPod users here? (I'm not an iPod user, I need some feedback)
[11:14] <ikonia> !offtopic > LucidFox
[11:15] <ikonia> LucidFox: try #apple
[11:15] <libqt4> Unrecognized format for '/home/david/Desktop/Movie.avi'
[11:15] <libqt4> anyone?
[11:15] <LucidFox> ikonia> I need lsusb output on ubuntu
[11:15] <Maverick> ikonia: because all the other PCs on the network are using the 10.x address and i cannot see them with the 203.x address
[11:15] <pindapoy> buenas+
[11:15] <ikonia> libqt4: saying anyone doesn't help
[11:15] <LucidFox> with an iPod plugged in
[11:15] <ikonia> Maverick: I don't understand you want your messager client to connect to a 10.x addres ?
[11:15] <ikonia> LucidFox: apologies
[11:15] <libqt4> ikonia: File.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 0 x 0, ~30 fps,
[11:15] <Maverick> ikonia: yes...
[11:16] <ikonia> Maverick: so you'll need to configure your messager client to connect to a 10.x address
[11:16] <Maverick> ikonia: how can i do that?
[11:16] <ikonia> Maverick: I don't know
[11:16] <ikonia> Maverick: that depends on your messager client
[11:16] <ikonia> Maverick: basiclly unless you tell ANY application to connect to a 10.x address it will go out of the ppp0 card
[11:17] <Maverick> ikonia: all my apps connect using the ppp0 address unlike windows where they use the eth0 address...do i need to tell them to do so?
[11:17] <ikonia> Maverick: they are connecting using the ppp0 address because they are all looking for non 10.x addresses
[11:18] <ikonia> Maverick: you'll have to tell them to look for a 10.x address to make them connect out of eth0
[11:19] <Maverick> ikonia: are the routing tables in the file i posted ok in comparison with windows?
[11:20] <ikonia> Maverick: ok in what way ?
[11:21] <Maverick> ikonia: i mean to ask whether the problem lies in the routing in ubuntu or the apps...
[11:21] <billy> anyway to copy text from emacs into a webpage? as its not allowing me to copy and paste?
[11:22] <Hemebond> middle-mouse button?
[11:22] <ikonia> Martinp23: routing looks fine
[11:22] <jlulian38> Is there a library or something that will let you mount archives as partitions?
[11:23] <Maverick> ikonia: thanks
[11:23] <ikonia> Maverick: sorry, that was for you, but you appear to have guessed
[11:23] <Maverick> ikonia: np :)
[11:23] <ikonia> jlulian38: thinks like iso file systems, yes
[11:24] <jlulian38> I meant like .tar.gz's :/
[11:24] <ikonia> jlulian38: no, but why would you want to mount it ?
[11:24] <jlulian38> I remember something like that once
[11:24] <jlulian38> you could just cd into the directory :/
[11:24] <ikonia> jlulian38: you un tar it, you can then just cd into that directory
[11:25] <ikonia> jlulian38: once it's untarred you can mount it as a loopback file system
[11:25] <jlulian38> ikonia, it makes using applications with like storage archives easier
[11:25] <jlulian38> AS A COMPLETE EXAMPLE
[11:25] <jlulian38> say I'm reading a book
[11:25] <jlulian38> it's split into pages for some reason
[11:25] <jlulian38> these are all put into archives by chapter
[11:25] <__machine> how do i see a list of installed packages with ubuntu gutsy?
[11:25] <jlulian38> I don't want to untar them all, that would waste space
[11:25] <ikonia> __machine: use synaptic or dpkg -l
[11:25] <rich__> Question: I can mkds with a VM of CentOS 5 but i cannot mkfs from my host install of ubuntu 'device busy or in use'
[11:26] <jlulian38> but untarring and retarring each one is a pain
[11:26] <ikonia> jlulian38: thats just bad file managment, but thats off topic
[11:26] <jlulian38> Raor
[11:26] <jlulian38> fine
[11:26] <jlulian38> I'll go back to lurking
[11:26] <jlulian38> is that the actual spelling by the way?
[11:27] <jlulian38> lurk
[11:27] <jlulian38> huh :/
[11:28] <rich__> does anyone know the answer to my beautiful question?
[11:28] <Maverick> ikonia: is there any way to edit the routing tables using a text editor or something?
[11:29] <ikonia> Maverick: no
[11:29] <Maverick> ikonia: thanks...
[11:31] <Buiss> how to create a dialup connection in ubuntu if my connection doesnt require a username and password
[11:31] <martyn> rich, I strongly believe the answer to be ... 42
[11:31] <ikonia> Buiss: leave it blank ?
[11:31] <Buiss> it say no valid user name or password
[11:32] <Buiss> in wvdial.conf
[11:32] <ikonia> Buiss: no idea, never used wvdial
[11:32] <Buiss> then how to create one?
[11:32] <Buiss> without wvdial
[11:33] <ikonia> within ubuntu - I don't know much about the modem tool
[11:33] <|ns|nR8> just put in a username and password anyway
[11:34] <ikonia> |ns|nR8: surly then the connection will fail with a wrong username and password
[11:35] <|ns|nR8> why not try
[11:35] <Buiss> and what if it says "Carrier found dont know what to do..tryind pppd..pppdaemon died..trying to reconnect in 80 seconds
[11:35] <ikonia> sure
[11:35] <|ns|nR8> if it require no user/pass it wont ask for one
[11:35] <|ns|nR8> so it wont fail
[11:36] <HackerAlert> Can someone please help me, its just a quick issue
[11:36] <ikonia> HackerAlert: if you ask a question
[11:36] <HackerAlert> OK wel
[11:36] <Aquahallic> mornin' folks
[11:36] <HackerAlert> well*
[11:36] <HackerAlert> I've enabled ati drivers..
[11:36] <HackerAlert> but, when I start ubuntu it says im in low graphics mode
[11:36] <Buiss> i just tried puttind <none>..do it troubles
[11:37] <HackerAlert> and i can only choose 800x600 and 640x480 in screen resolution settings
[11:37] <HackerAlert> it says the driver is in use though
[11:37] <XiXaQ> it looks so easy to share files and folders using System > Administration > Shared folders, but I'm not able to view them... Why? :)
[11:37] <ikonia> HackerAlert: look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, see what driver is actually in use
[11:37] <HackerAlert> OK
[11:37] <HackerAlert> what should it be set to? I have no idea, been using linux for only a day
[11:38] <XiXaQ> HackerAlert, you need to add the options to xorg.conf, probably.
[11:38] <w3d1w4_> direct rendering:NO how to change yes
[11:38] <ikonia> HackerAlert: thats ok, just look at what's in the xorg.conf file next to the line "Driver"
[11:38] <XiXaQ> HackerAlert, iirc, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg --phigh should fix it.
[11:38] <HackerAlert> fglrx
[11:38] <Aquahallic> I'm trying to get lirc working correctly.... I went to uninstall it because I think something got jacked with the install previously... when I do apt-get remove lirc it wants to pull out my control center and all kinds of mess... is it possible that the package handler is jacked??? if so... is there a way to repair this??
[11:38] <HackerAlert> thats what's on that line
[11:38] <ikonia> HackerAlert: ok, so that looks like your using the correct driver, which is a good start
[11:39] <HackerAlert> should I do that command line still?
[11:39] <ikonia> what command line ?
[11:39] <HackerAlert> sudo dpkg-reconfigure.......
[11:39] <ikonia> HackerAlert: if you want to try to re-configure it, sure
[11:39] <HackerAlert> Should the screen line be set to 0?
[11:39] <HackerAlert> or 1?
[11:39] <ikonia> screen line ?
[11:40] <HackerAlert> 	Screen	0
[11:40] <HackerAlert> thats whats on that line
[11:40] <HackerAlert> isn't default screen 1?
[11:40] <ikonia> HackerAlert: do you have multiple screens ?
[11:40] <HackerAlert> Noe
[11:40] <HackerAlert> nope*
[11:40] <Liquid> computers start with number 0
[11:40] <ikonia> screen0 is fine then
[11:40] <HackerAlert> ok
[11:40] <HackerAlert> well what could it be :(
[11:41] <ikonia> HackerAlert: many things, ati cards/drivers are a real pain as a general rule of thumb
[11:41] <ikonia> !ati >hackeralert
[11:41] <ikonia> HackerAlert: have a look at the link ubotu sent you, you have the drivers installed see if you missed any other configuration steps
[11:41] <HackerAlert> ok i'll take a look
[11:41] <HackerAlert> ah I didn't configure it at all hehe
[11:42] <HackerAlert> I thought it was just an install and use thing
[11:42] <finn> hi, will ubuntu recognize an old video card? how old?
[11:42] <ikonia> finn: if it's supported by xorg - sure
[11:42] <finn> where can I find that information?
[11:43] <ikonia> finn: what card is it ?
[11:43] <white_eagle> is there any chance to make the ubuntu background moving?
[11:43] <white_eagle> not static
[11:43] <finn> well, I'm just considering buying a card from a big box of old video cards at my local computer shop...
[11:43] <ikonia> white_eagle: you can use movie files
[11:44] <ikonia> finn: most non-nvidia/ati cards will be supported by xorg out of the box
[11:44] <ikonia> finn: assuming they are a year or two old
[11:44] <finn> ok thanks
[11:44] <finn> oh these are probably 3-5 years old
[11:44] <ikonia> you'll be fine, just don't expect to run compiz desktop effects
[11:44] <finn> no no this is only to use for a server
[11:45] <Buiss> how to put a video on background wit compiz fusion?
[11:45] <ikonia> finn: as a vga card prety much any will worg
[11:45] <ikonia> work
[11:45] <finn> thanks
[11:46] <KenSentMe> Can i install packages like build essential on a live cd?
[11:46] <ikonia> KenSentMe: you can but you'll need to re-install each time you reboot
[11:46] <white_eagle> whre can I find nautilius scripts?
[11:47] <KenSentMe> ikonia, i have to test some webcam driver on hardy so i try to do it from live cd, but i guess my ram is the limit for the size of packages i can install
[11:47] <ikonia> KenSentMe: well yes that will limit it, are you getting an error on install ?
[11:48] <ikonia> white_eagle: nautilius is a file manager ? what do you mean by scripts
[11:48] <KenSentMe> ikonia, no, i'm still downloading the iso but i want to make sure it will work
[11:49] <Sonja> i can't play a midi file in any program. halp!
[11:49] <HackerAlert> Time to restart to see if this driver works
[11:49] <Crazy181> Hi guys i have just reinstalled ubuntu and an still having the same issue that i was having earlier of the pc locking up when i have the appearance effects turned upto extra
[11:50] <Crazy181> or normal for that matter
[11:50] <KenSentMe> Sonja, i think rosegarden is for making midi files, but i think that is a bit too much for just playing midi files
[11:51] <MrSmurfing> Lost power at my NOC
[11:51] <Sonja> i opened the midi in rosegarden and clicked play but i heard nothing
[11:51] <Crazy181> any ideas as to what the cause may be?
[11:55] <anaya><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:55] <KenSentMe> Sonja, but rosegarden starts playing the song?
[11:56] <anaya> http://djraptor.myftp.org
[11:56] <Crazy181> Hey guys my ubuntu locks up when my appearance details are turned upto extra, any ideas?
[11:56] <Buyydee> i downloaded some ttf fonts. these seem to use some kind of write-combining, i.e. 'ti' or 'me' etc are combined or far apart. is there a possibility to disable this feature?
[11:56] <anaya> this is a new proyect
[11:56] <anaya> este es un nuevo proyecto
[11:56] <Johnny_5> passwd

[11:56] <anaya> grecias
[11:56] <anaya> thanks
[11:56] <Sonja> KenSentMe yes it shows as if it' splaying the song but no audio comes out.
[11:57] <anaya><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:57] <Sonja> otherwise my audio is fine on ubuntu
[11:57] <anaya> http://djraptor.myftp.org
[11:57] <anaya> Icecast & Shoutcast
[11:57] <anaya> http://djraptor.myftp.org
[11:57] <anaya> in GNU/Linux
[11:58] <KenSentMe> Sonja, hmm then it's not a problem with the midi, but with rosegarden. I dont have a solution, but maybe you can refrase your question so people will more likely know an answer
[11:58] <Sonja> i can't open the midi in any of my other audio playres though
[11:58] <Buyydee> anaya: esto es un canal de soporte, sea tranquila por favor
[11:58] <Sonja> xmms, exaile, totem, nothing
[12:00] <KenSentMe> Sonja, totem doesnt play my midi file too, so i guess it doesnt support midi
[12:00] <HackerAlert> dammit
[12:00] <oxygen> if i use ubuntu so can i use fedora fonts?
[12:00] <HackerAlert> now theres no xorg.conf file, it just disappeared
[12:01] <HackerAlert> brb 30 mins guys, if anyone knows anything about ati driver thing please PM me. I really need to enable it
[12:01] <wols> HackerAlert: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:01] <HackerAlert> ok i'll do that when I get back, I really gotta go
[12:01] <HackerAlert> thanks for help :)
[12:01] <HackerAlert> Also now its not in use, but i cant disable it, because it cant find the conf file, I assume that command will work, will try it when i get back
[12:01] <HackerAlert> thank you

[12:06] <vreer> hi
[12:07] <ubuser> does nobody can help me pls?
[12:07] <vreer> i appear to encounter a strange problem with grub/booting
[12:07] <Sonja> Jordan_U timidity worked!!!! <3 <3
[12:07] <vreer> i want to boot into the xen kernel (wich is correctly installed)
[12:07] <kane77> hi.. is there any console bittorent client that needs no installing (is shipped in binary)?
[12:07] <mhrnjad> ubuser: what's your problem?
[12:07] <Jordan_U> Sonja, :)
[12:07] <vreer> it is mentioned in grub/menu.st; but does not appear in the list when booting
[12:08] <Jordan_U> vreer, Can you pastebin your menu.lst ?
[12:08] <mhrnjad> vreer: did you change menu.lst recently?
[12:08] <vreer> so effectively i cannot boot into my xen-kernel
[12:08] <Buyydee> kane77: rtorrent comes from the universe depositories and is installed without you having to do anything
[12:08] <vreer> mhrnjad: yes i did, and saved it
[12:08] <ubuser> mhrnjad: hi wanna share my folder with a windows pc using samba ... but i can share /home directory only ... all the other folders, which belongs to sda1 hda1 for example, can't be shared
[12:09] <vreer> Jordan_U: whereto?
[12:09] <quinton_> I have been having the trouble when I turn on and play any songs on my 5.1 speakers not nearly all of them play... I think it might only be one speaker even, I have turned ALL ports on alsa mixer up and have seen no difference
[12:09] <kane77> Buyydee, well, but I want to use it on my hosting and I don't have root access there... therefore I need something that doesn't need installing
[12:09] <visual> Hello I wiped out my WIndows system which I need. When I was installing Ubuntu. My goal was to dual boot. Is there a way for me to install window back . Then I would like to properly dual boot
[12:09] <mhrnjad> vreer: apropos grub-install
[12:09] <mhrnjad> grub-install (8)     - install GRUB on your drive
[12:10] <vreer> mhrnjad: will read :)
[12:11] <ubuser> mhrnjad: may u help me?
[12:11] <mhrnjad> ubuser: sorry, I don't know enough about samba to help you ..
[12:12] <mhrnjad> ubuser: did you have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[12:12] <reverseblade> hello I am trying live CD with my asus 3fsc laptop it does boot but it freezes when gnome is starting. How can I fix ?
[12:13] <fotoflo> i have a question about the gpl:  if i am using a small bit of code (say 20 lines) from some gpl'd source, how attibutation do i have to use when i put it (javascript) on the web?
[12:13] <bidossessi> hi folks. i'm going to move a friend's computer to linux, and i was considering using ubuntu. does the cd come with a preinstalled dsl client?
[12:13] <francesco> Hello, guys! If this is a help channel, I have a question for you. When I install Ubuntu, Ubuntu has already a username called 'root', but I don't know its password. How can I log in as root?
[12:13] <ubuser> mhrnjad: yes i did
[12:13] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | vreer
[12:13] <ubotu> vreer: 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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:13] <fotoflo> frederico: root login is turned off by default in ubuntu
[12:14] <fotoflo> try sudo -i if you want a root shell
[12:14] <arsovik> francesco: you may use "sudo x" to execute command x with root permissions
[12:14] <Jordan_U> reverseblade, Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 ?
[12:14] <Jordan_U> !root | francesco
[12:14] <ubotu> francesco: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[12:14] <reverseblade> Jordan_U, no mouse freezes even alt prtscreen + REISUB does not work
[12:14] <francesco> fotoflo, arsovik: So the root 'namespace' is 'fictional', right?
[12:15] <fotoflo> francesco: no
[12:15] <fotoflo> franscio: i beleive you can also edit your passwd file or /etc/sudoers if you want to allow root logins
[12:15] <fotoflo> anyone know anything about the GPL?
[12:15] <Jordan_U> francesco, All that is disabled is logging in as root, the account still exists as normal, if you set a password for it ( which you should NOT do ) you will be able to login as root
[12:16] <Jordan_U> !anyone | fotoflo
[12:16] <ubotu> fotoflo: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[12:16] <bidossessi> is there a preinstalled dsl client in ubuntu ?
[12:16] <fotoflo> Jordan_U: already asked my question
[12:16] <fotoflo> i have a question about the gpl:  if i am using a small bit of code (say 20 lines) from some gpl'd source, how attibutation do i have to use when i put it (javascript) on the web?
[12:16] <|ns|nR8> bidossessi usb adsl modem ?
[12:16] <marxx> ciao
[12:17] <francesco> Who can set root's password?
[12:17] <|ns|nR8> or ethernet ?
[12:17] <marxx> !list
[12:17] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[12:17] <ikonia> fotoflo: ubuntu is not "the" gpl
[12:17] <TheMafia> Anyone know of a project that is a database of servers and can track changes, updates, anything done to them?
[12:17] <ikonia> fotoflo: join / ask in somewhere with specific knowledge of the gpl
[12:17] <|ns|nR8> francesco you dont need to use root account
[12:17] <|ns|nR8> you can set a root password but there is no need
[12:17] <|ns|nR8> its actuaslly security risk
[12:17] <bidossessi> |ns|nR8, not usb, but i still need to provide a username/password to get connect. huawei
[12:17] <bidossessi> connected*
[12:18] <|ns|nR8> if its not usb, the username and password is stored in the modem
[12:18] <francesco> Guys, I know that I don't 'need' to set the root account, but for protection, who can set the root password?
[12:18] <|ns|nR8> usuaLLY
[12:18] <Jordan_U> fotoflo, #gnu also http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
[12:18] <Jordan_U> francesco, Protection from what?
[12:18] <|ns|nR8> on windows do you have to hit 'connect' bidossessi, or is just connected when you start windows ?
[12:18] <ikonia> francesco: if you can't answer that question yourself you should not set the root password
[12:18] <Jowi_n1> francesco, any user account that can sudo can set the root password
[12:19] <bidossessi> |ns|nR8, i catually use opensuse. but i have to launch kinternet
[12:19] <|ns|nR8> ah ok
[12:19] <francesco> Jowi_n1: Then, only the administrator can set the root password, right?
[12:19] <Jowi_n1> francesco, so only let trusted users get sudo. yes, the admin can set it.
[12:19] <|ns|nR8> you can just use ppp dialer bidossessi
[12:19] <|ns|nR8> and specify the modem as your adsl modem
[12:20] <|ns|nR8> thats using a usb modem
[12:20] <Jowi_n1> francesco, the link that Ubotu gave have good info ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo )
[12:20] <Smegzor> I found out whats causing my computer to freeze during network file copies - NFS.  I did the same copy through an SMB share and it worked although it took an extra 12 minutes.  Are NFS shares prone to problems in Ubuntu or linux generally?
[12:20] <|ns|nR8> ive never used or seen a ethernet adsl modem that aint a nat router aswell
[12:20] <bidossessi> is it preinstalled? on opensuse i had a hen/egg problem whereby i had to download the ppp dialer (:P)
[12:20] <francesco> If root is a username just like the others, doesn't it have a password for default?
[12:20] <beertank> erver irc.eternal-r0x.net
[12:21] <|ns|nR8> francesco to set root password type sudo passwd root
[12:21] <francesco> |ns|nR8: Does it have anyway as default?
[12:21] <Smegzor> |ns|nR8: I have one.  Its only got 1 plug for 1 pc.
[12:21] <|ns|nR8> ethernet Smegzor?
[12:22] <|ns|nR8> or usb
[12:22] <wols> |ns|nR8: there are tons of those
[12:22] <Smegzor> |ns|nR8: I never use it though.  Well its an adsl modem (cheap and nasty)
[12:22] <wols> and yes, ethernet
[12:22] <Smegzor> it connects via USB
[12:22] <|ns|nR8> yeah there are tons of usb ones wols
[12:22] <|ns|nR8> but not ethernet
[12:22] <wols> before wlan routers were common, the adsl modems were the normal devices you got from ISPs
[12:22] <francesco> Can a normal user 'guess' the root password, if it exists, anyway, ad default?
[12:22] <|ns|nR8> that aint a router aswell
[12:22] <wols> noflex: no ethernet ones
[12:23] <simNIX> says hi
[12:23] <|ns|nR8> francesco there is no root password set by default
[12:23] <Karyom> Hello, how can I administrate the Samba Server under Gnome?
[12:23] <francesco> Ok.
[12:23] <|ns|nR8> yeah thats what im sayikng
[12:23] <|ns|nR8> ethernet and not a nat router ??? lol strange...
[12:23] <KenSentMe> Can i compile the hardy kernel for my gutsy system for testing a driver on the newer kernel?
[12:23] <aricz_> larry laffer huh!
[12:23] <Jordan_U> KenSentMe, It'd be easier to just use a LiveCD :)
[12:23] <vreer> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50588/
[12:24] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, but i'm affraid i need more packages then my ram can handle
[12:24] <francesco> Thank you very much guys!
[12:24] <francesco> Good bye!
[12:24] <Smegzor> Has anyone else had trouble with large network copies (multiple gigs) over NFS? I can't use it unless I like constant hard resets.
[12:25] <Jordan_U> KenSentMe, Ahh, what exactly are you trying to test?
[12:25] <Karyom> Is there a Terminal Command to admin the SMB Server maybe with a GUI?
[12:25] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, a webcam driver https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4698310
[12:25] <bidossessi> |ns|nR8, ok, point me in the right direction. assuming i've booted into the live cd and i have a live ethernet connection to the modem; where do i find the dialer in ubuntu
[12:25] <Karyom> like in KDE?
[12:25] <Smegzor> There is a web gui for managing Samba
[12:25] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, i need to have build essential, v4l and a webcam app
[12:26] <Karyom> is there no program with GUI for it in Gnome?
[12:26] <Pici> Karyom: No.
[12:26] <Jordan_U> !kernel | KenSentMe
[12:26] <ubotu> KenSentMe: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[12:26] <|ns|nR8> bidossessi does your modem have its own ip ?
[12:26] <Karyom> mmh okay...what is the port for the webgui?
[12:26] <|ns|nR8> LAN ip ?
[12:27] <Jordan_U> KenSentMe, I would go with a vanilla kernel of exactly the version he is suggesting be used rather than the hardy kernel
[12:27] <|ns|nR8> eg <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:27] <Smegzor> 10000
[12:27] <bidossessi> |ns|nR8, yes. it does dhcp
[12:27] <|ns|nR8> then it is a nat router bidossessi
[12:27] <Pici> Karyom: There is SWAT for administrating Samba via a web gui.
[12:27] <Smegzor> .. but you'll need to install the web gui first.
[12:27] <wols> bidossessi: then there is no dialer
[12:27] <|ns|nR8> cheers wols
[12:27] <wols> bidossessi: none needed
[12:27] <bidossessi> but i still have to key in a pass to get online
[12:27] <|ns|nR8> sounds strange
[12:28] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, well, he mentions to use A rc kernel, so all versions should work
[12:28] <|ns|nR8> ok
[12:28] <wols> bidossessi: doesn't jive with getting a private IP
[12:28] <|ns|nR8> in terminal, find out your machines ip address
[12:28] <|ns|nR8> um
[12:28] <simNIX> Karyom: thereś also a webmin module for Samba if im not mistaken
[12:28] <|ns|nR8> ifconfig eth0
[12:28] <Smegzor> Webmin is what I use.
[12:28] <simNIX> prefers console
[12:28] <|ns|nR8> bidossessi i think i used kppp
[12:28] <Karyom> thanks I take a look
[12:28] <wols> Smegzor: not good
[12:29] <bidossessi> because what happens is that i do get a live connection to the modem, but i can only browse with the dsl0 that the ppp client gives me. the modem doesn't seem to want to proxy for me
[12:29] <|ns|nR8> im on windows atm cause im stuck at my girlfriends place
[12:29] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, i had already found the wiki page in the ubotu message, but it only mentions compile the kernel for the current version you are using, not some other
[12:29] <Smegzor> wols, its not public (behind hardware firewall - external router) with no pinhole to it.
[12:29] <Smegzor> and its not listening to public ip's
[12:30] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, or do i have to download the packages manually
[12:30] <|ns|nR8> bidossessi in synaptic search for ppp
[12:31] <Pici> !ppp
[12:31] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up
[12:31] <|ns|nR8> dunno how the modem device set to eth0 will behave
[12:32] <bidossessi> |ns|nR8, there you hit the crux of my problem. i need a dialer to get online!
[12:32] <|ns|nR8> search for ppp then
[12:32] <|ns|nR8> in synaptic
[12:32] <|ns|nR8> i think i used kppp
[12:32] <|ns|nR8> have a look
[12:32] <|ns|nR8> im on windows, so i cant look myself
[12:33] <bidossessi> synaptic? sorry, not at all familiar with that term. is that the package manager?
[12:33] <|ns|nR8> yep, its in one of the menu's
[12:33] <bidossessi> ok, because i need to make sure i have all i need to get online already on the cd before i commit my friend's pc to it
[12:34] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, maybe it's easier to install ubuntu on a external hd or sd card
[12:34] <bidossessi> |ns|nR8, so green means it's installed, right.
[12:34] <panoman> just upgraded to 7.10 and now the highest resolution my monitor will go is 800x600
[12:35] <|ns|nR8> yep
[12:35] <|ns|nR8> panoman gotta hate that
[12:35] <panoman> yep
[12:35] <panoman> now what
[12:35] <|ns|nR8> you have to specify a montitor type i believe in xorg.conf
[12:35] <|ns|nR8> sorry
[12:35] <Jordan_U> KenSentMe, It's a good experience to have if you like that sort of thing, but if you don't know what you are doing you could break your current install
[12:35] <|ns|nR8> specify a monitor range
[12:35] <bidossessi> did i mention that it was pppoe i use? i see a pppoeconf there. maybe that could help
[12:35] <|ns|nR8> so it knows yoiur monitor can go higher
[12:36] <wols> panoman: what vide driver do you use right now?
[12:36] <Pici> panoman: just run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh`
[12:36] <Pici> panoman: or listen to wols first ;)
[12:36] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, are you referring to the custom kernel build or installing on a flash driver?
[12:36] <wols> bidossessi: it does. but if you use pppoeconf you don't use DHCP
[12:36] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, driver=drive
[12:36] <Jordan_U> KenSentMe, Custom kernel
[12:36] <|ns|nR8> lol KenSentMe, cool nick
[12:36] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, i know, that's why i'm looking for alternatives
[12:36] <|ns|nR8> i know where that comes from
[12:37] <KenSentMe> |ns|nR8, :D
[12:37] <m1r0> hello
[12:38] <visual> Hello I have another question
[12:38] <panoman> I dont know what driver I am somewhat new
[12:38] <vreer> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50588/ solved
[12:38] <wols> panoman: grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:38] <panoman> how do I find out
[12:39] <visual> Hello I have another question. Is there a way for me to access fdisk in Ubuntu
[12:39] <visual> I tried Windowes
[12:39] <bidossessi> |ns|nR8, i need to remove a totally virus-ridden windows system, and i thought it would be a good idea to set ubuntu in it's place, but since i'm an opensuser, i had to check. opensuse was a non-starter for this machine: not enough ram to even start the OS installer (128)
[12:39] <panoman> did grep and it said ati
[12:39] <visual> Microsoft Method it did not work
[12:40] <panoman> the machine is a HP pavilion 5500
[12:41] <Pelle_A> Hej/Hi
[12:41] <s0laris> hi
[12:41] <JC_Denton_> Can you install Ubuntu from a USB stick if the machine allows booting from USB? if so, how?
[12:41] <dgjones> !install | JC_Denton_ Ubotu has a link for install from USB
[12:41] <ubotu> JC_Denton_ Ubotu has a link for install from USB: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[12:41] <wols> bidossessi: I wouldn't use ubuntu either on it. use xubuntu or fluxbuntu
[12:41] <JC_Denton_> dgjones, thanks
[12:42] <bidossessi> wols, why not? is 128 too low? is there an xfce ubuntu instead?
[12:42] <dgjones> !xubuntu | bidossessi
[12:42] <ubotu> bidossessi: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[12:42] <Jowi_n1> bidossessi, (this one's for you) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[12:43] <bidossessi> thx folks
[12:43] <panoman> 7.4 worked just fine on my machine dang
[12:43] <bidossessi> i'm check this out for now
[12:43] <m1r0> could someone recomend fully supported laser color printer/scanner for ubuntu ?
[12:43] <s0laris> know somebody where i must put the jakarta httpclient files to use it in my java programm?
[12:45] <KenSentMe> How big is a standard ubuntu installation?
[12:46] <|ns|nR8> about 1.2 gig
[12:46] <panoman> What does sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh do
[12:46] <Jowi_n1> KenSentMe, but you need a 3G root partition to install it.
[12:47] <|ns|nR8> panoman reprobes your hardware i think
[12:47] <wols> it configures X panoman
[12:47] <Moniker42> panoman, i don't know what the -phigh option does but it will reconfigure your X server and present you with lots of questions that can be ignored unless there's something specific you want to change
[12:47] <Moniker42> panoman, for example X doesn't detect my monitor's resolution automatically so i have to run that and skip everything except the resolution section
[12:48] <panoman> it will go higher but bad flicker like wrong freq
[12:49] <|ns|nR8> i have to run my crt monitors at, at least 85hz
[12:49] <Pici> Moniker42: -phigh just asks you high priority questions, which turn out to be only video related things iirc.
[12:49] <|ns|nR8> or it has unbareable flicker
[12:52] <HackerAlert> Thank you so much to the person who helped me
[12:52] <HackerAlert> sorry I restarted computer so I don't know who that was
[12:52] <HackerAlert> ATi drivers now work! :)
[12:52] <aro> What's the normal amount of space to create for a /boot partition?
[12:53] <|ns|nR8> 120mbytes
[12:53] <tuntun_> whats the equivalent of ctrl-alt-del?
[12:53] <panoman> when it gets to monitor it says generic
[12:55] <ccooke> tuntun_: which purpose of ctrl-alt-delete do you need? It has several in Windows.
[12:56] <tuntun_> ccooke: to kill a process asap.
[12:56] <|ns|nR8> there is some way to get system monitor to open
[12:57] <ronnie> crekarasu: @@
[12:57] <panoman> no luck on the monitor issue
[12:57] <|ns|nR8> tuntun_ https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/19234
[12:58] <platius> panoman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto  you might look here
[12:58] <panoman> I changed the resolution and still flicker
[12:58] <|ns|nR8> panoman you must up the refresh rate aswell
[12:58] <panoman> thanks for the link will checkit out
[12:58] <|ns|nR8> try 85hz if you have a 17inch crt or bigger
[12:59] <|ns|nR8> flicker is caused by refresh rate, not resolution
[12:59] <panoman> its a laptop hp pavilion ze5500
[12:59] <panoman> and it worked with 7.4
[12:59] <|ns|nR8> LCD shouldnt flicker

[13:00] <Codenut> Hi everyone!
[13:00] <nomic> I have an NVIDIA GEFORCE 7300 GT graphics card and the restricted drivers don't work ... I am thinking of going back to the shop what other brand of graphics card should I choose for best compatibility with UBUNTU? please3
[13:00] <nomic> I.e. what is the best guaranty of compatibility for a brand of graphics card on ubuntu
[13:00] <murf3326> I'm running Ubuntu 7.10.  When I shutdown my monitors and PC power-down ok, but my USB devices remain powered. (my Logitech G15 Keyboard remains fully lit).  I Googled and found a couple of older Ubuntu/Linux bugs for USB devices remaining powered after shutdown.  Anyone know if there is a fix available for this problem?
[13:00] <Jordan_U> nomic, Intel integrated
[13:00] <tonyyarusso> nomic: Intel has open source drivers :)
[13:00] <ciro> ciao
[13:01] <Sonja> how to convert .wma to .ogg ??
[13:01] <nomic> intel is a brand of graphics card?
[13:01] <nomic> ok
[13:01] <nomic> I need an AGP card though
[13:01] <ubuser> who can explain me how to share folder which dont belong to home dir using samba?
[13:01] <tonyyarusso> Sonja: oggconvert (with w32 codecs) can probably do it
[13:01] <JC_Denton_> does intel provide drivers for its laptop onboard cards so I can finally use my tv out
[13:01] <Jordan_U> nomic, Nvidia is pretty good as long as the card is a little more than 6 months old ( or any nvidia card if you are willing to install the drivers from nvidia.com directly )
[13:01] <xobius> Sonja, perhaps konverter do it
[13:02] <nomic> jordan I am having problems specificially with an NVIDIA card I want to move away from that
[13:02] <Jordan_U> JC_Denton_, You sure you aren't thinking of ATI, I didn't think intel cards had such problems
[13:03] <panoman> trying the change monitor sujestion
[13:03] <panoman> back in a few
[13:03] <JC_Denton_> Never found any drivers for my onboard...
[13:03] <Jordan_U> nomic, There isn't really any better brand ( other than intel, which I understand is not an option ), just try an older card
[13:03] <JC_Denton_> I'll investigate it again soon enough
[13:03] <Jordan_U> nomic, Or install the newest nvidia drivers with the current card
[13:03] <JC_Denton_> what command tells me the onboard card details?
[13:05] <Aishiko> grep JC_Denton_
[13:06] <JC_Denton_> Aishiko I'm sure your efforts are genuine but grep won't help me much..
[13:06] <JC_Denton_> not just grep anyhow...
[13:07] <Pici> JC_Denton_: `sudo lshw` will give you a rundown of all your hardware
[13:07] <JC_Denton_> Pici thanks
[13:09] <panoman> well changing the monitor to lcd didnt work I will check out the url that was given thanks its 5 am and I have to get some sleep before work

[13:22] <S4nD3r> how to setup init levels in ubuntu?? Theres no inittab file
[13:22] <hvesalai> hello everybody. I have a question about wlan. The problem is that after some time, it stops working. /etc/init.d/networking restart fixes it, but is there some way of finding out why it stops working and fixing it so that I don't have to take manual action
[13:22] <_mug_> Avid: kepp the powerbutton pressed
[13:22] <hvesalai> I'm already thinking about a script consisting of cron, ping and networking, but I don't think that is the correct way
[13:23] <_mug_> Avid: or unplug and remove the battery
[13:23] <_mug_> on own risk :P
[13:23] <S4nD3r> ??
[13:23] <Avid> _mug_: That's what I am forced to do, but I don't know what is causing it to crash - only seems to be with ubuntu
[13:24] <_mug_> Avid: what kind of video adapter do you have?
[13:24] <flamsmark_> hey, after i repartitioned my system disk, my swap partition isn't being used at startup. how can i tell ubuntu to use it?
[13:24] <S4nD3r> Id like to use ubuntu in text level...
[13:24] <S4nD3r> but theres no inittab file
[13:24] <_mug_> S4nD3r: ctrl+alt+F2
[13:24] <Avid> _mug_: Ati - can't remember model from top of my head x300 or 600 perhaps
[13:24] <adem> guys
[13:24] <adem> is there  online any people
[13:24] <_mug_> Avid: are you running the restricted drivers?
[13:25] <S4nD3r> _mug_: Id like to setup to run only in text level
[13:25] <_mug_> Avid: system->admin->restricted drivers
[13:26] <Avid> _mug_: if it is part of default installation yes, otherwise no (not currently running under ubuntu) - is there something related to Ati that is causing these crashes, can't ctrl-alt etc out or anything
[13:27] <S4nD3r> ubuntu theres no inittab file, how to setup runlevels ?

[13:33] <abhi_> how do i change $PATH to something i want?
[13:33] <Jordan_U> !boot | S4nD3r
[13:33] <abhi_> there is a command for doing that
[13:33] <abhi_> just can't remember
[13:33] <ubotu> S4nD3r: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[13:33] <Jordan_U> abhi_, export
[13:33] <KenSentMe> Jordan_U, but where are all the downloaded packages saved.  Does the livecd use that?
[13:34] <abhi_> iclebyte: how about adding it to bash.bashrc?
[13:34] <robertj_> does anyone have a bug # handy for the nvidia 8600 series redraw problems?
[13:34] <Jordan_U> KenSentMe, I think so, I'm not sure though
[13:34] <Leechzilla> I put a DVD into my drive and though it says 3.8GB is used on the disc, it's not showing any files.. The same disc shows its contents properly in VMware though.. How do I fix this?
[13:34] <iclebyte> abhi_, yea you can do it that way but then the path is only available for that specific user. if you want it system wide for every user then do it in /etc/profile
[13:35] <Dr_willis> Leechzilla,  you are seeing it in vmware at the same time you are looking at it with the Linux OS?
[13:35] <Leechzilla> Dr_willis: Well I just booted VMware right now to check if it works in it. Before that too it wasn't showing up in Ubuntu
[13:35] <abhi_> iclebyte: ok so i add an export $PATH=mypaths1:2:3 to /etc/profile? but where is ubuntu getting the values for $PATH otherwise? i mean how is it set to a default?
[13:36] <^swb^> sup ubuntu
[13:37] <Dr_willis> Leechzilla,  could be it wasent getting mounted to the right place, or was not automounting.
[13:37] <iclebyte> abhi_, read the /etc/profile file, there is a line in that starts with 'PATH=' just add whatever directory to that list (seperated by ' : ')
[13:37] <Leechzilla> Dr_willis: So what do I do to fix it
[13:38] <S4nD3r> I dont believe what Ive seen
[13:38] <S4nD3r> ubuntu change basic tools of debian
[13:38] <S4nD3r> this is a shit
[13:38] <Dr_willis> Leechzilla,  well check with the 'mount' command to see if its mounted someplace else. if its not mounted at all. You could try mounting it manually.
[13:38] <Leechzilla> Dr_willis: It's already mounted
[13:38] <Dr_willis> Leechzilla,  so wher does the mount command say its mounted to?
[13:39] <Leechzilla> Dr_willis: /media/cdrom0
[13:39] <Guilty1> i can't download any thing using bittorrent :S any ideas
[13:39] <Dr_willis> Leechzilla,  so you dont see any files in /media/cdrom0 eh?
[13:39] <Leechzilla> Dr_willis: yeah
[13:39] <chraso> hello chennal
[13:39] <abhi_> iclebyte: there's nothing to do with path in /etc/profile. i think i'll have to manually add an export? right?
[13:40] <littlebear72> ok im no rocket scientist . but im also no dummy i can get 3d workign on my desktop but i cant get flash player working what am i doing wrong i checked the web for the last 3 hours i have 2 sets of hardware here and both are running flash player non free from ubuntu's repository and i still cant get either of them to run flash player in firefox or opera one has opera and the newest install has firefox . i sort of expected firefox and the 7.10 install
[13:40] <littlebear72> to run flash perfectly but it did not . what am i missing ?
[13:40] <Jordan_U> !flash | littlebear72

[13:40] <BB88> Hello. Does anybody know why I cannot open folders after a period of time on Ubuntu 7.10. I get something like "unable to display contents of folder", and then my desktop has that little egg timer, every now and then?
[13:41] <chraso> can i know if i can install ubuntu 7.10 on a free space(not on any present partition but on the disk space)
[13:41] <Dr_willis> Leechzilla,  interesting... try a 'sudo ls -l /media/cdrom0' perhaps? it may be mounted owned by root. Other then that. Id say unmount it.. and try remounting the cd.
[13:41] <Jordan_U> chraso, There is an option specifically for doing that in the installer
[13:41] <chraso> if yes how do i?
[13:41] <student> I have flashplugin-nonfree installed but I still can't view any flash items in firefox...it tells me that the plugin is still missing
[13:42] <v3ctor> student: did you restart firefox?
[13:42] <student> v3ctor, yes

[13:42] <Leechzilla> Dr_willis: sudo ls -l /media/cdrom0 says total 0. I tried unmounting but it says the device is busy
[13:42]  * v3ctor knows how to install flash
[13:42] <dusty-sts> what piece of software can I use to create a bootable .iso in linux?
[13:42] <Dr_willis> Leechzilla,  well if vmware is stillrunning. it may some how have it locked.
[13:43] <Leechzilla> Dr_willis: No it isn't
[13:43] <littlebear72> thanks Jordan_U ill go play with that
[13:43] <Dr_willis> Leechzilla,  be sure ya got no terminals cd'd to it?  I forget the command now to see what may have it being accessed.. lsof /dev/cdrom perhaps.
[13:43] <chraso> Jordan_U, may i know how to?
[13:43] <robdeman> hey all.. dovecot pop3 doesnt show any new mail. But when I use Webmin -> Read User mail there IS new mail... any idea why?
[13:44] <gsevil> ubuntu recognize my wireless card, but I can't turn it on, can u help me?
[13:44] <sidelil> excuse me, I'd like to install MythTV on my PC in order to have a media centre. I don't know how to choose either a frontend or a backend installation. Can anyone help me?
[13:44] <Jordan_U> chraso, Have you tried the installer yet? It's pretty strait foreword
[13:44] <wols> robdeman: is the mail in /var/mail/<user>=
[13:44] <wols> ?
[13:44] <wols> sidelil: mythtv needs both
[13:44] <t-om> gsevil, look for a switch or button to turn the wireless radio on in the case of the computer
[13:44] <robdeman> wols: no it seems to be in ~user/Maildir
[13:44] <Leechzilla> Dr_willis: Thanks, that command helped me fix it.
[13:45] <wols> gsevil: what card is it?
[13:45] <wols> gsevil: rather, what chip?
[13:46] <Dr_willis> Leechzilla,  heh - what command? lsof? that sould of just read who is using the device.. it shouldent of fixed anything. :) Or was it magic! :)
[13:47] <Sergemine> Guys. Looks like my ubuntu system stopped working with fixed IP after system update. Anyone heard of this problem ???
[13:48] <Dr_willis> Sergemine,  defind 'stopped working' :)

[13:48] <sidelil> wols: sorry, I can't understand. In the wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy they say you have to choose. I think I need a regular desktop & something between frontend and backend. This is what I understood.
[13:49] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, ""Network is unreachable"" iswhat I get when tring to ping computers (when set to use fixed IP)
[13:49] <hvesalai> ubotu: hmm... you a bot? I already asked the question some time ago
[13:49] <Jordan_U> student, I would just install the non-free flash plugin for FF
[13:49] <hvesalai> hello everybody. I have a question about wlan. The problem is that after some time, it stops working. /etc/init.d/networking restart fixes it, but is there some way of finding out why it stops working and fixing it so that I don't have to take manual action
[13:49] <Pici> hvesalai: Yes, ubotu is a bot.
[13:49] <olskolirc> is there a way I can change my username and still keep my actual account?
[13:49] <chintan> sorry chennal i was disconnect
[13:49] <Dr_willis> Sergemine,  try pinging them by ip? or by name?
[13:49] <student> Jordan_U, I did but it's not working with firefox
[13:49] <chintan> ed
[13:49] <cerpin> i configured eth0 network interface with static ip but everytime i try to reach the ip it throws me to localhost webinterface instead router configurationmenu. what am i doing wrong?
[13:49] <chintan> Jordan_U, can help
[13:49] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, either
[13:49] <Guilty1>  i wanna download unbuntu linux but ma download is so slow and i can't order it any ideas ?
[13:50] <Tetracomm> Hi.
[13:50] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, even my own
[13:50] <Jordan_U> student, Have you seen the message from ubotu about the package being broken currently?
[13:50] <Dr_willis> Sergemine,  try pinging  <IP_ADDRESS>  and 'google.com' if Neither work. Sounds like a gateway issue. If the ip works but not the name. its a dns issue.
[13:50] <Jordan_U> Guilty1, Why can't you order it?
[13:50] <netzmeister> hvesalai: /var/log/syslog  ./message ?
[13:50] <olskolirc> is there a way I can change my username and still keep my actual account?
[13:50] <Dr_willis> Sergemine,  even your own local lan eh?  Sounding more like a gateway issue.

[13:51] <Guilty1> Jordan_U coz i live in lebanon in an unkown place they will not know how to transfere it to me :S so any ideas
[13:51] <Dr_willis> olskolirc,  you mean your linux user? You could make a new user, then copy the other users file over to the new ones home dir. and chown the files.  BUT your first initial Ubuntu user is the one that has sudo rights by default.
[13:51] <Tetracomm> I installed Windows XP, then Ubuntu afterwards. When I tried to boot into XP after installing Ubuntu, it said: "Error 12: Invalid device request.".
[13:51] <Tetracomm> Help?
[13:52] <Guilty1> so Jordan_U ??
[13:52] <olskolirc> oh ok Dr_willis never mind then thanks
[13:52] <flamsmark> i'm having some difficulty setting my screen resolution
[13:52] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, I have a dhcp server at home, so it works fine there. But no dhcp in office, have set up a fixed IP, or have system set assign it automatically when dhcp request times out. But network doesn't work at all either way
[13:52] <Jordan_U> Guilty1, Well if you can't download it and it can't be shipped then you are pretty much SOL unless you can find someone with a faster connection who can send it to you, have you actually tried to see if they can ship to where you live?
[13:52] <flamsmark> my laptop screen is natively 1280x768
[13:52] <Dr_willis> olskolirc,  its doable. :) just have to be carefull snd dont remove the first user..
[13:53] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, there isn't a gateway as far as I know
[13:53] <Jordan_U> flamsmark, What graphics card?
[13:53] <ljsmithx> pic
[13:53] <flamsmark> jordan_u intel gma 940
[13:53] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, they use only a proxy serher here
[13:53] <ircleuser> Hi guys !! Any of you guys have a VOIP at home working with Ubuntu ?
[13:53] <olskolirc> Guilty1 Dell is shipping out Ubuntu already loaded.  That's an expensive way to go but, that's another way ubuntu is available.
[13:53] <Jordan_U> flamsmark, Do you know if you are using the "intel" driver or the "i810" driver?
[13:53] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, any idea ???
[13:53] <flamsmark> i810
[13:54] <flamsmark> jordan_U i810
[13:54] <Jordan_U> olskolirc, Guilty1 I doubt Dell is shipping Ubuntu machines to Lebanon though
[13:54] <Jordan_U> flamsmark, Try the intel driver
[13:54] <Dr_willis> Sergemine, Hmm...  well normally theres still a gateway. at an ip like <IP_ADDRESS> or some smiler low #.  I recall an issue where the /etc/resolv.conf can get wrong dns entries. but Not sure where to trouble shoot yoru system. if its on a business network. it could be somthing odd on their end.
[13:54] <olskolirc> ohhh ok
[13:55] <flamsmark> jordan_u whe i use the intel driver, desktop effects don't work
[13:55] <student> Jordan_U, so what should I use if the nonfree isn't working?
[13:55] <flamsmark> jordan_u previously, it was working with correct resolution and desktop effects
[13:55] <flamsmark> jordan_u and i can't work out how to get it back to that
[13:55] <v3ctor> Guilty1: google for a LUG in Lebanon, see if you can find someone locally that has a copy you can use
[13:55] <Jordan_U> flamsmark, That is possibly another problem you should fix, but a work around may be to install the package '915resolution'
[13:55] <seebs> I have an ubuntu system with three ethernet cards -- built-in nforce and two 8139s.  I get unusably bad network performance from the forcedeth and the second 8139.  Just as a sanity check, are there any software-level things I should be looking at?
[13:56] <flamsmark> jordan_u what does that do?
[13:56] <littlebear72> ok Jordan_U i just got this flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. on both systems i still cant get flash to work on either system what am i missing i just read that whole article with no joy ... any direct advice would be appreciated here im totally confused as to why or what i have missed
[13:56] <seebs> It seems very odd to me that the problem would be exactly the same on the forcedeth and the second 8139, making me suspect that it has to do with some software configuration issue, such as a firewall, that I'm not aware of.

[13:57] <HackerAlert> works fine in windows
[13:57] <flamsmark> jordan_U ok, thanks, i'll try that
[13:57] <HackerAlert> I checked audio settings, seems normal

[13:57] <littlebear72> Jordan_U: just did that with me wols i have read that article what have i missed
[13:57] <chef_> can anyone tell me how to properly install flashplayer? synaptic and/or installing thru firefox says it's installed but won't function
[13:57] <Dr_willis> Sergemine,  I thinkya need to track down someone with a bit more experience with networking, and your companys network. Id hate to give any suggestions that may mess up the network.(unlikely to happen) but it could somthing simple thats changed on the company network.
[13:57] <Jordan_U> littlebear72, You are using Ubuntu 7.10 correct?
[13:58] <chintan> hello chennal
[13:58] <student> is there an alternative flash plugin I can use?
[13:58] <littlebear72> chef_: and i have same issue lol on one i am on 7.10 its all standard install only a few hours old
[13:58] <fmanas> hi chintan
[13:58] <fmanas> studen: Install Flash manually
[13:58] <chintan> i would like to know if i can install ubuntu to a free disk space(not to a free disk space on a partition)
[13:59] <fmanas> student go to download: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[13:59] <student> fmanas, ok thanks
[13:59] <v3ctor> student: you could get the one from the adobe site and install it using thier instructions
[13:59] <chef_> fmanas: how does one do that? (install flash manually) newbie here
[13:59] <flamsmark> how can i reorder the elements on a panel?
[14:00] <snurre> i got a q.. was trying to run ubuntu from a livecd, but after the startup menu my screen just goes black and nothing more happens.. anyone know what might cause this?
[14:00] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, oh, it can barely be called a corporate network
[14:00] <littlebear72> yeah Jordan_U it is a simplistic install everything else works i have tried this on a second computer cos i got frustrated on my own system now i have my wife on a dual boot so i can figure this out
[14:00] <v3ctor> chef_: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux
[14:00] <chintan> anyone?
[14:00] <crush_groove> chintan partition the disk space and install
[14:00] <HackerAlert> ah these headphones are hurting my ear
[14:00] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, I have router at home which solves all issues, but they don't here
[14:00] <HackerAlert> why only left side works :(
[14:00] <littlebear72> its the only reason i have installed her sytem with ubu 7.10 to get flash player workign
[14:00] <chef_> v3ctor: ty
[14:00] <fmanas> student and chef_ once you downloaded it, You descompress it
[14:01] <gsnsr> my wireless card is broadcom, ubuntu recognize it, I see wireless connection in network setting, but I can't turn it on. I pushed the wireless button. It ran normally in windows, can u help me?
[14:01] <v3ctor> chef_: use the tar.gz and follow the instructions
[14:01] <fmanas> you know how use the terminal?
[14:01] <Dr_willis> Sergemine,  i imagine they got a machine that does a similer job.  But heck. for all we know it may be crashed and needs to be reset.
[14:01] <Jordan_U> littlebear72, It is broken, it should not be expected to work. To get the newest version of flash download, double click, and install this package ( 32 bit Ubuntu 7.10 only ): http://trogdoor.googlepages.com/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu0.deb
[14:01] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, Thank you very much any way. I tend to think it is an ubuntu problem simmilar to that with xserver update so time before
[14:01] <chintan> which type ubuntu installs on ext3?
[14:01] <fmanas> Better, you've an .deb package of Flash plugin
[14:02] <chef_> v3ctor: ok, I knew there was a way... had installed b4 but then I needed to reinstall... thx
[14:02] <Jordan_U> chintan, By default, yes
[14:02] <Dr_willis> Sergemine,  now to TEST that theory - you could try out some of the various live cd's :) done that befor.
[14:02] <littlebear72> cool thanks
[14:02] <fmanas> Jordan_U: When was compiled this .deb package?
[14:02] <Dr_willis> Sergemine,  of course just last night here.. the wifes laptop networks stopped working.. turned out it was her network cable that was bad. she had pinched it for so long at a bad angle it broke.
[14:02] <littlebear72> ill go play a while and see what i can get going :)
[14:03] <Jordan_U> fmanas, It is from the forum linked to by ubotu
[14:03] <crush_groove> chintan the current version of Ubuntu is Gutsy Gibbon
[14:03] <chef_> v3ctor: when I go to navigate to the desktop is the command ~/ ?
[14:03] <chintan> 7.10?
[14:03] <crush_groove> chintan yes
[14:04] <snurre> i was trying to run ubuntu from a livecd (not installed anything), but after the startup menu my screen just goes black and nothing more happens.. anyone know what might cause this?
[14:05] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, I am afraid that is what I will do eventially. Do not want to go that way as my graphics card is not supported out of the box and once installed the system it is difficult for me to load of the live cd in office as I have to attache another screen for that
[14:05] <crush_groove> snurre,  try selecting safe graphics mode
[14:05] <snurre> same problem
[14:05] <crush_groove> snurre ATI?
[14:06] <snurre> geforce 8800
[14:06] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, but now I used the easier options and probably need to do that as I DO LIKE UBUNTU AND WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE IN OFFICE
[14:06] <Omer> snurre: is your monitor connected by dvi?
[14:06] <snurre> yeah
[14:06] <Vixen_> I'm trying to repartition an external HD for use with ubuntu, this fails, as the device is "mounted". Is it a simple and safe process to "unmount" the HD?
[14:06] <Jordan_U> Vixen_, Yes
[14:07] <Omer> snurre: i have the same problem, couldn't solve it yet :|
[14:07] <Vixen_> Cheers
[14:07] <HackerAlert> Guys..
[14:07] <HackerAlert> Anyone know why? I only get sound on left speaker
[14:07] <Jordan_U> Vixen_, "sudo umount -a" should unmount all drives ( except things like the CDROM that you are booted from of course :)
[14:07] <crush_groove> snurre,  and Omer what versions ?
[14:07] <HackerAlert> it worked yesterday fine =\
[14:07] <snurre> 7.10, just downloaded
[14:07] <chintan> but in the manually partitioning after installation start it doesn't displays any options to create any partition
[14:07] <Dr_willis> Sergemine,  Hmm. what video card? You could just test the network with a console on a live cd.    DSL or PuppyLinux is just a 50 or so mb download to test out.  I just take the 'lets elminate everything that it can be' befor digging into ubuntus networking. Heck- It could be a typo in the network settings for all we know.
[14:08] <crush_groove> gimme a sec .. looking at forums
[14:08] <Omer> crush_groove: kubuntu 7.10, will try to install media center on it, but can't past the blank screen
[14:08] <Sergemine> Dr_willis, plus It installed a network printer some time before which the latest version of windows + laters drivers wasn't able to install no metter how much I tried
[14:08] <Vixen_> Jordan_U- I'm looking to only unmount the external HD, since that's where ubuntu will go on my dual boot. I'm not actually sure what unmounting means or does, so I really don't want to damage other drives  =[
[14:08] <mohit> ...enterz....
[14:08] <mohit> any geek  can help me out!!
[14:08] <ubuntuluvr> Vixen_ you can't repartition an unmounted hard drive
[14:08] <Paha> Hello, help me please, configure dual-view on my Laptop
[14:08] <ubuntuluvr> man for fdisk
[14:09] <crush_groove> snurre can you get to a command line ?>
[14:09] <snurre> nope
[14:09] <snurre> only the boot menu for the livecd
[14:09] <Jordan_U> Vixen_, Unmounting is simply the software side of "ejecting", it means that the hard drive is not being read from or written to basically.
[14:09] <tristano82> hello
[14:09] <snurre> got a black screen after checking the cd for errors and mem check aswell
[14:09] <tristano82> wtf?
[14:10] <Jordan_U> !anyone | mohit
[14:10] <ubotu> mohit: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[14:10] <Dr_willis> Paha,  what video card the lptop is using . will dictate how you configure dual monitors.
[14:10] <Omer> crush_groove: getting to a command line is possible with ctrl+alt+f1
[14:10] <tristano82> damn!
[14:10] <Vixen_> ubuntuluvr, Jordan_U: In that case, I'm really unsure on what to do to make the external HD compatible with ubuntu
[14:10] <hvesalai> netzmeister: there are two errors: "wlan0: RX WEP frame with unknown keyidx 0" and "WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported"
[14:10] <gsnsr> my wireless card is broadcom, ubuntu recognize it, I see wireless connection in network setting, but I can't turn it on. I pushed the wireless button. It ran normally in windows, can u help me?
[14:10] <Omer> crush_groove: but when you press alt+f7 everything goes black again
[14:10] <arang2> hi guys i really hope anyone gives me some help, my samba performance is quite slow, 40 or so megabits when the interaction is between XP and linux, anyone could give me some help about tweaking samba parameters for better speed??
[14:10] <Tetracomm> Could someone help me with this please?
[14:11] <hvesalai> netzmeister: ifup wlan0 says also: "WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported", "WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1 -"... BUT the network works now... the problem is that it stops working after some time (I mean hours)
[14:11] <Vixen_> !ask
[14:11] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[14:11] <Paha> When i press function-key i don't see screen on tvset, nvidia GeForce MX
[14:11] <Rootsnatch> Hey
[14:11] <crush_groove> says here we need to get to /etc/X11 and change driver from nvidea to nv..
[14:11] <Tetracomm> I already asked the question earlier on.
[14:12] <nomad111> when totem starts on my gutsy install my monitor switches off then back on with totem playing the video
[14:12] <Paha> i see only 1-2 color rounds and points
[14:12] <nomad111> does anyone have an idea why?
[14:12] <arang2> hi guys i really hope anyone gives me some help, my samba performance is quite slow, 40 or so megabits when the interaction is between XP and linux, anyone could give me some help about tweaking samba parameters for better speed??
[14:12] <Jordan_U> Vixen_, Just run the command I gave "sudo umount -a" Also make sure that you install the bootloader to the external drive if you don't want it installed to the internal drive ( sorry that this is more complicated than it should be :)
[14:12] <littlebear72> ok Jordan_U that worked perfectly thanks
[14:12] <Dr_willis> Paha,  ive noticed with some laptops the special keys like that work..and with others they dont. Ive also noticed that Depending on the video card. the TV if hooked up WHEN the system boots up.. The TV will be enabled.
[14:12] <littlebear72> now my newinstall works well
[14:12] <nomad111> some useful info: i run a laptop on an external lcd screen
[14:12] <Jordan_U> littlebear72, np
[14:12] <Dr_willis> Paha,  also you proberly need to have the nvidia drivers installed to allow on the fly setting of the tv out and other settings.
[14:13] <Vixen_> Jordan_U: Won't that command unmount all drives? Including internal drives
[14:13] <Tetracomm> Windows XO won't boot after I installed Ubuntu.
[14:13] <Tetracomm> XP*
[14:13] <littlebear72> on this system im running fiesty fawn 7.06 do you think i could give it a try to see if it might work ?
[14:13] <mohit> install grub -- tetracomm
[14:13] <ntemis> can i put ubuntu and dual boot with vista?
[14:13] <mohit> yes
[14:13] <chef_> could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong/missing? In terminal I type: cd ~/install_flash_player_9_linux so I can install the program but terminal keeps telling me the file and/or directory doesn't exist even though I can see it sitting there on my desktop.  Or are you not running from a LiveCD?
[14:14] <Tetracomm> Grub is installed.
[14:14] <mohit> sudo apt-get install <filename>
[14:14] <Tetracomm> I can boot into Ubuntu.
[14:14] <^swb^> if that doesnt work do chmod a+x <filename>  first
[14:14] <littlebear72> chef_: are you in the directory that the file is in and are you typeing it case specific ?
[14:14] <^swb^> then try again
[14:14] <arang2> hi guys i really hope anyone gives me some help, my samba performance is quite slow, 40 or so megabits when the interaction is between XP and linux, anyone could give me some help about tweaking samba parameters for better speed??
[14:14] <Jordan_U> ntemis, Yes
[14:14] <Dr_willis> chef_,  it is a directory? and yoy  are tryign to cd to the HOME DIR with ~ not the Desktop dir
[14:14] <Vixen_> Jordan_U: I'm running from a liveCD, but I want to create a dual boot, so I want to keep everything on my C and D drives
[14:14] <Omer> arang2: are you connected through wireless?
[14:15] <mohit> follow the steps carefully vixen
[14:15] <arang2> Omer: no direct cable ethernet
[14:15] <ubuntu_demon__> quick question : does the alternate cd support resizing windows partitions ?
[14:15] <Omer> arang2: if that's the situation you don't have much choices
[14:15] <Vixen_> I want to create a linux partition on my J: drive
[14:15] <Dr_willis> chef_,  just use cd  /home/USERNAME/Desktop/inst<tab>
[14:15] <Tetracomm> mohit, Windows XP is in the GRUB boot list too, but it doesn't load.
[14:15] <billy> how do u quick save in emacs? it says C-x but what does that mean?
[14:15] <littlebear72> cd to Desktop
[14:15] <Omer> arang2: if not, you can stop logging and etc. to speed it up
[14:15] <v3ctor> billy: crtl-x
[14:15] <gsnsr> my wireless card is broadcom, ubuntu recognize it, I see wireless connection in network setting, but I can't turn it on. I pushed the wireless button. It ran normally in windows, can u help me?
[14:15] <arang2> Omer: i'm using ethernet 100mbps cat5e
[14:15] <Dr_willis> !tab | chef_
[14:15] <ubotu> chef_: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[14:15] <billy> C-x C-w
[14:15] <billy> v3ctor, cheers
[14:15] <mohit> may be its gone from harddisk
[14:15] <Omer> arang2: any other pcs connected?
[14:16] <mohit> look for the partiton where xp resides
[14:16] <Omer> because normally a 100 mbit switch has an internal speed of 100 mbit in total
[14:16] <mohit> then google to edit grub and add that partition in grub
[14:16] <arang2> Omer: i have the computers connected directly thru one cable
[14:16] <Paha> and special key and set in nvidia-setting not do effect, It is work good in XP
[14:16] <Paha> i have driver installed
[14:16] <Omer> so when many pcs are connected you might be having a bottleneck
[14:16] <arang2> Omer: these are my socket parms for smb.conf    socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
[14:17] <chef_> wow! thanks guys 4 all the info tho answers are quite different... I'm now somewhat confused
[14:17] <Paha> i am set NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver!
[14:17] <arang2> Omer: i'm having the problem with a single cable right now, when i do the XP to XP i get 70 or 80mbps, but from XP to Linux or Linux to XP i get only 40 something
[14:17] <Paha> no effect
[14:17] <Gnome_> hello
[14:17] <v3ctor> chef_: are you having trouble changin into the directory?
[14:18] <arang2> arang2: i tried the iperf thing between both , i get speeds of 91mbps between both more or less so the problem is with samba, i wanna tweak it to gain more speed
[14:18] <grunger> why does ubuntu's website make it difficult for human beings to download a DVD version from the site's download page?
[14:18] <arang2> Omer: i tried the iperf thing between both , i get speeds of 91mbps between both more or less so the problem is with samba, i wanna tweak it to gain more speed
[14:18] <Dr_willis> chef_,  learning to use the shell.. would show you what you are doing wrong.. you dont cd to ~/whjatever  ~ is the HOME DIR. not the Desktop directory
[14:19] <Paha> The TV is enable in BISO, in Windows XP it is work
[14:19] <Dr_willis> chef_,  if you see a thing on the desktop its in ~/Desktop/whatever
[14:19] <chef_> v3ctor: yes, I thought to go to the desktop I should type cd ~/<filename> but I'm guessing that's wrong
[14:19] <Dr_willis> chef_,  ~ is a shortcut for /home/YOURUSERNAME/
[14:19] <ubuntu_demon__> quick question : does the alternate cd support resizing windows partitions ?
[14:20] <chef_> Dr_willis:ty, now I understand
[14:21] <Jordan_U> Vixen_, I need to sleep, one thing you should know ( sorry for presenting this without a solution, there is one ) is that the bootloader, grub, will be installed on the *internal* drive by default, there is an "advanced" option to change that during the install but it's not intuitive. I would wait to do this until you are talking with someone who truly understands what is going on ( copy and paste this message if need-be )
[14:21] <Jordan_U> before doing this. But then again I am very cautious. Note, this would not be a problem of data loss in any way, but just possibly not being able to boot and requiring a fixmbr from a windows install CD to fix it easily, but you would have to know to do that.... now you do, and now that my rambling is done I am going to sleep :)
[14:21] <Dr_willis> chef_,  bash basics. :)   Its very worth while to spend an hr or so reading a few bash starter guides.    Get a good foundation of knowledge to build on. Thats the linux way.
[14:21] <Dr_willis> Once you learn the Linux FUNdaMENTALs - the rest is easy. heh..
[14:21] <jtt> ubuntu_demon__, if the alternate has  gparted  or  parted
[14:21] <jaggz-> how do I fake that a package is installed?  After some fiddling I got a python module installed, but it required some packages of different versions, etc.  However, it eventually only worked with some versions not matching up
[14:21] <jaggz-> now my package system wants to delete a ton of things, thinking dependencies aren't satisfied
[14:21] <sakuramboo> where can i get some of those little ubuntu laptop stickers? the ones that replace the "designed for windows" stickers"
[14:22] <simion314> i hate the flash player plugin for firefox, it crashed and i can't restart it, i have no sound, i hate Adobe
[14:22] <Jordan_U> jaggz-, Man dpkg, look at force and depends
[14:22] <Omer> arang2: i see, i'm sorry that i haven't experienced any speed problems before
[14:22] <littlebear72> ok im proud to say that the deb you showd me worked for fiesty 7.06 ... it works fantastic for firefox now the last stage to the problem ... how do i get opera to access that plug in ?
[14:22] <Omer> i believe it's google that might help you :)
[14:22] <Paha> I dont use TV-Out i want enable second monitor to VGA output
[14:22] <jaggz-> by the way -- everything I want is installed right now.. I just need to tell it these existing versions are "okay"
[14:22] <Omer> but people have written that they had speed problems after upgrades
[14:22] <arang2> Omer: i already tried to google it i just cant find anything definite sadly
[14:22] <arang2> Omer: i did a clean install
[14:23] <Jordan_U> littlebear72, It can't without a newer version, which is why this 'fix' has not been added to the default repos :(
[14:23] <chef_> Dr_willis: good idea I agree if I had any documentation... where do I find
[14:23] <Dr_willis> chef_,  theres litallery 10000's of bash guides/docs out. the 'advanced bash scriptng guide' is in the repos and at tldp.org   its worth checking out.. TLDP.org is also worth bookmarking. :)
[14:23] <wols> !bash
[14:23] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[14:24] <Dr_willis> chef_,  check the bookstores/bargin bin tables at the bookstores for Oriealy's 'using bash' book. its the de-facto book on it. :)  its may be online also at places.
[14:24] <Dr_willis> chef_,  and the url's  the bot just posted.
[14:24] <littlebear72> ahh well thanks anyway atleast i have it workign in both 7.10 and 7.06 that fix worked for both it just did not translate to opera .. small price to pay for flash working at all lol and as i have learnt and you have implied it will work in time but just not yet lol thanks again everyone your file Jordan_U worked a treat
[14:25] <chef_> Dr_willis:ty... will check them out
[14:25] <jaggz-> I have:  python2.4      2.4.1-0-1   installed...   software is requesting python2.4 (>= 2.3.90) (UNSATISFIED)  and it says it's unsatisfied :/

[14:26] <Invert314> what's the comand to turn a file folder into a tar ball?
[14:26] <Invert314> tar xxx /folder filename.gz
[14:27] <CyberMatt> Invert314, that with tar cvf whatever
[14:28] <v3ctor> perfector: initrd-tools
[14:28] <Invert314> ty CyberMatt
[14:28] <CyberMatt> that would be rather
[14:28] <perfector> thanks v3ctor
[14:28] <perfector> v3ctor: is it the same on debian too?
[14:29] <v3ctor> maybe

[14:30] <ubuntuluvr> did we just have a netsplit?
[14:31] <Omer> arang2: interestingly after setting my samba server with your parameters it slowed down dramatically
[14:31] <Omer> arang2: i can't even get a directory listing for a few seconds
[14:31] <CyberMatt> not well i was here
[14:31] <perfector> is there any way i can totally disable avahi-daemon
[14:31] <perfector> ??
[14:31] <arang2> Omer: really? damn, what parameters do u use by default?
[14:32] <Omer> arang2: i don't :) i just use the default smb.conf, just added my shares to the end
[14:32] <jaggz-> Invert314: no
[14:32] <jaggz-> need z option for .gz
[14:32] <CyberMatt> perfector, yes stop it remove it from init
[14:32] <chef_> Dr_willis: Following your advice I sucessfully navigated to the file on my desktop and started the installer but I'm told I'm running installer as a non-root user... should I have typed sudo before the ./<filename> ?
[14:32] <arang2> Omer: gah, have u tested ur speed with the parameters i showed u?
[14:32] <jaggz-> tar -cf foo.tar dir/
[14:32] <Dr_willis> chef_,  yes.
[14:33] <v3ctor> perfector:  update-rc.d -f avahi-daemon remove
[14:33] <jaggz-> tar -czf foo.tar.gz dir/
[14:33] <Invert314> jaggz-, i neatly tared that file folder into gz
[14:33] <v3ctor> chef_: if you want to install for everyone...if you run as normal user it installs in you home directory
[14:33] <chef_> Dr_willis:ty again
[14:33] <Omer> arang2: yes, there is also a slowdown, it says in the config that it should increase speed but it does not work for me, i'm using 7.10 server
[14:33] <littlebear72> yes chef_ sudo makes you root
[14:33] <jaggz-> tar -cf foo.tar.jpg dir/  ??
[14:33] <arang2> Omer: i'm also using gutsy 7.10 server kernel
[14:34] <Invert314>  tar cvf dox.tar.gz dox/
[14:34] <arang2> Omer: how bad is ur slowdown?
[14:34] <jaggz-> no
[14:34] <perfector> v3ctor: CyberMatt i tried it multiple times.. it does not remove any links anymore but still tries to startup during boot-time
[14:34] <jaggz-> wrong
[14:34] <zOOd> 'lo tous.
[14:34] <Invert314> that command worked fine
[14:34] <doxie> hate you all. :>
[14:34] <jaggz-> that's not really gzipped
[14:34] <x-X-x> i want to access a dir but i cant and when i check properties under permissions it says the "owner is 1445" and the group is "300" can someone help me ?
[14:34] <perfector> v3ctor: CyberMatt any other way i can remove it.. like config files?
[14:34] <chef_> ty all... think I got it now... just hope I remember all this for next time... gonna try to jot it all down quick b4 I forget everything I just learned
[14:34] <Omer> arang2: i'll give you an update in a few minutes, i'm connected through wireless
[14:34] <[SpigiBoy]> hello
[14:34] <arang2> Omer: alright muchas gracias
[14:35] <v3ctor> perfector: check all of the /etc/rcX.d directories
[14:35] <jaggz-> v3ctor: your command was wrong, why don;t you speak up??  :)
[14:35] <Coope> Does 7.10's encryption at install encrypt swap?
[14:35] <gsnsr> my wireless card is broadcom, ubuntu recognize it, I see wireless connection in network setting, but I can't turn it on. I pushed the wireless button. It ran normally in windows, can u help me?

[14:36] <Invert314> we hate you too doxie
[14:36] <v3ctor> perfector: like /etc/rc2.d /etc/rc3.d etc
[14:36] <tifine> whats the command to display the processor speed and other things ?
[14:37] <v3ctor> perfector: shouldn't start then
[14:37] <jaggz-> Invert314: your command looks, to you, like it worked, but it didn't.  You can call the output file anything you want, but with -z it will be gzipped, and without it it will not
[14:37] <perfector> v3ctor: yeah and rcS too
[14:37] <perfector> v3ctor: i also used to think the same.. this is baffling me
[14:37] <jaggz-> tar -cf foo.tar dir/             tar -czf foo.tar.gz dir/
[14:38] <_mug> hey im trying out nvidia-settings and i wonder how i make it save the settings.. i apllied "cursor-shadow" but nothing happens, after a x-restart the box is unchecked and every change i made is back as it was..
[14:38] <jaggz-> tar -cf foo.tar.gz dir/     <--- this makes a normal uncompressed tar file, but it mistakenly calls it .gz
[14:38] <jaggz-> I think we used to have to do compression like this:   tar -cf - dir/  |  gzip -c  > file.tar.gz       :)
[14:39] <Dr_willis> now is the time to google for a tar tutorial or 4 :)
[14:39] <jaggz-> we still have to with unsupported compression
[14:39] <v3ctor> lol @ Dr_willis
[14:39] <chef_> ok... 1 more question guys... would this be the installation path of my browser (default 7.10) /usr/firefox?
[14:39] <jaggz-> v3ctor: why are you laughing?  you're the one who needs to read it.. ;)
[14:39]  * jaggz- nudges v3ctor
[14:39] <jaggz-> :)
[14:40] <Dr_willis> _mug,  i normally edit/enable some of that stuff by manually eding the xorg.conf I wonder if compiz overrides/disables some of those settings..
[14:40] <v3ctor> jaggz-: i accidentally copied and pasted someone eleses mess up...oops
[14:40] <Dr_willis> _mug,  i THINK cursor shadow only works with the default X cursors.. not the fancier gnome/compiz ones
[14:40] <_mug> Dr_willis: hmrm
[14:40] <Dr_willis> I toyed witht he shadow ages ago. Not messed with it lately.
[14:40] <_mug> Dr_willis: i see
[14:41] <jaggz-> v3ctor:  heh
[14:41] <gsnsr> ubuntu can't turn on my wireless. can u help me?
[14:41] <CompGuru> quit
[14:41] <CompGuru> exit
[14:41] <v3ctor> jaggz-: personally i would have used 'j' to get those couple extra bytes shrunk down ;)
[14:42] <CompGuru> #quit
[14:42] <jaggz-> definitely.. if you have the time
[14:42] <jaggz-> comp, /quit ?
[14:42] <jaggz-> Why does my package system say:  ii  python2.4      2.4.1-0-1      Python 2.4   but software with dependencies are broken, requiring python2.4 (>= 2.3.90) (UNSATISFIED)  ?
[14:43] <jaggz-> it was through my own fiddling with the system trying to get some software installed which required some python dev tools, but my distro is old and unsupported (and I needed this development to get some important work done -- so I couldn't update my distro)
[14:43] <jaggz-> so I manually/force installed some python packages, and those overwrote my existing python2.4 stuff, and now tons of things are broken :(
[14:44] <jaggz-> I'd like to tell the system, "convince yourself that my current python2.4 is sufficient"
[14:44] <v3ctor> do you have more than one python version installed?
[14:45] <timrit> Does anyone know why my number pad on my keyboard would stop working on its own and the only way to get it back is to restart the machine? Also, if I restart X by <cntl - alt - bksp> I get a login screen but after I log in i never get my desktop.
[14:45] <chef_> Dr_willis: sorry 2 keep bothering you but you seem quite knowledgable... installer is asking for the installation path of my browser giving this ex. (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla)... that file doesn't exist but there is a /usr/firefox file... I'm guessing that's the correct one but would like confirmation so I not sticking files any old place & wondering why the app doesn't work
[14:45] <jaggz-> yes and no.. there's the older python 2.3 also installed.. and it all worked before with 2.3 and 2.4.. it wasn't until I had to install some -dev packages which were of mismatched versions
[14:46] <jaggz-> that I overwrote my 2.4 python and broke everything
[14:46] <iblicf> hi , i have installed the pulseaudio using apt-get from the reportery , 7.10 , allmost everything can found there, bu i dont's know how to use  it , and seems sth wrong like i can't stop the bell ring of vi / terminal ?
[14:46] <v3ctor> jaggz-: i had the original problem you had before, it was because of the symlink to of python to the wrong binary...it pointed to 2.4 instead of 2.5
[14:47] <mrtimdog> Anyone know of a resource booking app for ubuntu?
[14:47] <jaggz-> I'd like to tell it, "consider my current python2.4 is sufficient to satisfy python2.4 v2.3.90"
[14:47] <Dr_willis> chef_,  you do realize theres an updated .deb package that can install the new flash player? :) you wouldent have to mess with this stuff.
[14:47] <poningru_> Martinp23, resource booking?
[14:47] <poningru_> err
[14:47] <poningru_> mrtimdog,
[14:47] <v3ctor> jaggz-: what does `python --version` tell you
[14:48] <x-X-x> im trying to access a directory and it says i dont have the permission too and when i check the properties of that dir it says that the owner of the dir is "1445" and that the group is "300" what does this mean? isnt it supposed to say root ? can someone help me ?

[14:48] <jaggz-> Python 2.4.1 (#1, Dec 19 2007, 10:16:44)
[14:48] <jaggz-> python -v
[14:48] <Dr_willis> chef_,  i have  /usr/lib/mozilla/ here
[14:48] <poningru_> mrtimdog, yeah dude tons... there are bunch of cms servers out there
[14:48] <chef_> Dr-willis: no I had no idea but then again I want to learn this so I don't have to shell out the big $$$ to Uncle Bill for crappy software
[14:48] <v3ctor> jaggz-: i like the extra keystrokes...its the only exercise i get ;)
[14:48] <jaggz-> I think I downloaded and installed a bunch of python's from the ubuntu old-releases.ubuntu.com repository
[14:48] <Dr_willis> !flash
[14:48] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[14:48] <jaggz-> lol
[14:48] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[14:49] <Dr_willis> chef_,  that 2nd url the bot posted - has info/links to the 'testing' flash installer package. Use at your own risk. :) but i imagine its safer then using the flash installer.
[14:49] <v3ctor> jaggz-: have you tried removing all python packages and starting over?
[14:50] <jaggz-> hmm.. perhaps I could force-install the current one, over the existing one, with an option saying it satisfies the other dependencies?
[14:50] <v3ctor> you could...
[14:50] <jaggz-> I'm a bit hesitant to remove them since I have it working
[14:50] <Nicolaidis> hello, does someone use weather desklet?
[14:51] <jaggz-> oh.. python -v is also extra.. verbose.
[14:51] <Dr_willis> chef_,  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2_i386.deb is the pakcage ive been testing onmy machines. Again. use at your own risk. I dont expect anyproblems from it however
[14:51] <Omer_> arang2: ok i have tested both configs
[14:51] <v3ctor> eww @ extra verbose
[14:51] <PWizard> I've got an ATI X1550 running the fglrx driver on 64-bit gutsy.  Google Earth freezes at the splash screen and takes up 100% of one of my CPUs.  Has anyone had this issue, and if so, is there a workaround?
[14:51] <chef_> Dr-willis: thx again but I gone this far... checked again & I've a /usr/firefox folder & a /usr/mozilla folder but there's no /usr/lib/mozilla folder... running 7.10 server... standard install
[14:51] <Omer_> arang2: with your settings i can get upto 80 mbits/s
[14:52] <PWizard> I've tried installing the latest Catalyst driver by hand, but that just makes my system lock up when gdm starts
[14:52] <copperhead> i'm new to ubuntu but a long time slackware user.  this system has a wide screen lcd that wants the display at 1440x900@60Hz.  This wasn't an option in the System->Administration->Screens and Graphics interface, so I extracted the .INF file from the windows 'driver' for that monitor and imported it.  Now Screens and Graphics offers the monitor as a choice, but the screen gets set to...
[14:52] <jaggz-> dpkg --convince-yourself-and-remember-that-all-dependencies-are-satisfied
[14:52] <copperhead> ...1280x1024 after I restart.  /etc/X11/xorg.conf shows 1440x900.  Does anybody know what script is changing the resoloution after X starts?
[14:52] <copperhead> err resolution
[14:53] <v3ctor> jaggz-: that only works with the --cross-your-fingers option
[14:53] <jaggz-> dpkg --python2.4-YYYY -is-sufficient-to-satisfy python2.4-XXXX
[14:53] <jaggz-> rofl
[14:53] <Mal-NY> good morn, anyone run Darwin streaming server on Ubuntu?
[14:53] <bobbo> Does anyone in here know anything about eSata?
[14:53] <jaggz-> here comes eSanta Claus
[14:53] <osfameron> hiya
[14:53] <arang2> Omer_: and with urs?
[14:53] <Dr_willis> bobbo,  its one of those neat things.. that i wish would get really really really common really really fast!
[14:53] <Dr_willis> :)
[14:53] <osfameron> how do I create a new keyboard shortcut in gnome?  e.g. to launch an executable
[14:54] <bobbo> Dr_willis: My mobo doesnt have any Sata connectors, if i get an eSata PCI card will this be enough to connect my eSata HD?
[14:55] <AdemoS> whoever it was that recommended Deluge over Azu.....appears to be right
[14:55] <jaggz-> I have to sleep :(
[14:55] <jaggz-> ttyl
[14:55] <AdemoS> it's a lot easier to use, faster, and without a million JRE dependcies
[14:55] <Dr_willis> bobbo,  i guess so - if the card is supoported. Ive not seen any esata pci cards  out yet. (not looked much)
[14:55] <th0r> AdemoS aren't you getting tired yet?
[14:55] <Dr_willis> !hardware | bobbo
[14:55] <ubotu> bobbo: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[14:56] <Omer_> arang2: it's slower, but with your settings i still get slow directory listings
[14:56] <AdemoS> Once it's stable on Windows I can start recommending it to friend
[14:56] <bobbo> thanks Dr_willis
[14:56] <AdemoS> Thor: Haha, a little. What about you?
[14:56] <arang2> Omer_: so using no settings gives u slower speed?
[14:56]  * AdemoS on retrospect like the water droplet over the frog
[14:57] <AdemoS> anyway th0r, thanks again for your help with partioning. hopefully when I set up my second storage driver, it'll be much faster
[14:57] <Omer_> arang2: yes, but since i'm over wireless i can't get over 40 mbits anyway, that's why i haven't noticed ;)
[14:57] <AdemoS> goodnight all
[14:58] <osfameron> aha, apparently binding a key to an exe isn't yet defined in ui ( http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/30/defining-keyboard-shortcuts-for-commands/ )
[14:58]  * osfameron apt-gets xbindkeys-config
[14:58] <arang2> Omer_: oh damn so at the end i still stay screwed :(
[14:59] <howlingmadhowie> hallo :) quick problem: the cdrw of a friend of mine stopped being recognised at the end of the year. she's using gutsy. has anybody here had the same problem or is it more likely to be a hardware problem?
[14:59] <wols> howlingmadhowie: unless she changed kernels then, very much sounds like hardware. does the BIOS still recognize the drive?
[14:59] <Gpalco> c9s, I MANAGED to set alias!
[15:00] <Omer_> arang2: you might have a problem with your switch/hub?
[15:00] <howlingmadhowie> wols: an excellent question. with the stupid bios, i suppose she'll have to start new and check.
[15:00] <arang2> Omer_: i ruled it out i connect the computers using a cross cable
[15:01] <simmerz> is there a way to allow videos to play when using compiz so that the screen doesn't flicker? using an nvidia graphics card
[15:02] <howlingmadhowie> oh for openboot or linux bios on normal pcs!
[15:03] <Webspot> I am trying to ping a windows vista machine. When I try to ping it, it says the host could not be found. But if I run nmblookup on the host, it does find the host. Can someone explain why?
[15:03] <pvt_harv> hi guys, why can't i install clamtk (and clamav) using apt-get? it constantly displays that dependencies are not met. apt-get should have installed them too right? using synaptic, i've got the same error
[15:03] <Mal-NY> good mor, anyone run Darwin streaming server on Ubuntu?
[15:03] <carina> how do i check what type of memory machine is using currently_
[15:03] <loa> hello, explain me why there no icons in kde... after kernel upgrade
[15:04] <loa> i checked all libs, paths
[15:04] <loa> all is ok
[15:04] <Xintruder> If was to buy a laptop and install ubuntu, making it "look" nice with beryl or something, and compatible with most multimedia files today, what would I buy?
[15:05] <Dr_willis> weird. Try makign a new user see if it affects them loa?
[15:05] <emilio> hola
[15:05] <Dr_willis> Xintruder,  Dell has Ubuntu preinstalled laptops.
[15:05] <ikonia> Xintruder: any laptop that has supported hardware
[15:05] <PWizard> Xintruder, that is, you want an nvidia chipset
[15:05] <PWizard> :)
[15:05] <Dr_willis> yea - Nvidia Video card - is a MUST.
[15:05] <carina> how do i activate compiz on a ati graphics card?
[15:06] <carina> i have glxgears working
[15:06] <Xintruder> why is nvidia card importan if I will not run games?
[15:06] <B-rabbit> Where can i find the documentation for "GnomePGP" cause the given web address that comes with the package seems to be dead?
 ok... but why whit old kernel all is ok?
[15:06] <B-rabbit> :(
[15:06] <carina> i mean i have 3d acceralion working
[15:06] <ikonia> Xintruder: compiz-fusion will appriciate a solid video card
[15:06] <simion314> how can i make the task bar appear like buttons with my running application? how this plugin is maned?
[15:06] <rexy> you enable desktop graphics something
[15:06] <Dr_willis> loa,  no idea on that. This is the first ive heard of that kind of problem.
[15:06] <Xintruder> ikonia, who is compix-fusion :s ????
[15:06] <loa> hmmm thank you
[15:06] <carina> i tried and it give me compiz no extension or something
[15:07] <ikonia> Xintruder: compiz-fusion, its the new name for beryl
[15:07] <Xintruder> oh ok
[15:07] <Dr_willis> compiz is what gives ya all the fancy eye candy - It can be a bit of a pain to get going on ati cards.
[15:07] <carina> i am using gutsy
[15:07] <rexy> Xintruder: just a name for a desktop wich has more eye candy
[15:07] <Dr_willis> Compiz can be a pain in other ways as well.
[15:07] <PWizard> Xintruder, beryl/compiz/whatever work best on nvidia, in my experience.  Trust me, I'm using an ATI card now and can't get the shit working.  :)
[15:07] <i00_000i> h
[15:07] <simmerz> is there a way to allow videos to play when using compiz so that the screen doesn't flicker? using an nvidia graphics card
[15:07] <B-rabbit> !Gnome pgp
[15:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome pgp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:07] <ikonia> rexy: it's not a desktop
[15:07] <simion314> how can i make the task bar appear like buttons with my running application? how this plugin is maned?
[15:07] <rexy> ikonia: dont nit pick
[15:07] <Xintruder> ok thank you
[15:07] <ikonia> rexy: don't give false information
[15:07] <bobbyd> hi
[15:08] <carina> is there way to find the speed of the memory?
[15:08] <robdeman> hey folks, when using IMAP then Dovecoty is unable to create folders such as SENT, TRASH, etc... any idea why?
[15:08] <rexy> ikonia: does it give your desktop eye candy?
[15:08] <carina> or what type of memory?
[15:08] <ikonia> carina: look at the bios prompt
[15:08] <ikonia> rexy: yes, it certainly does
[15:08] <ikonia> carina: look at the bios prompt at boot up
[15:08] <i00_000i> gcc is not working in ubuntu saying stdio cant be found is this error normal in ubuntu or an installation failure
[15:08] <Xintruder> is GeForce Go 7400 with 64mb dedicated memmory good enough??
[15:08] <carina> i have no bios prompt
[15:08] <ikonia> i00_000i: do you have stdio.h on the sysstem
[15:08] <carina> my computer is a compaq
[15:09] <ikonia> carina: when you boot up you will get a bios logo or some wording, read the wording
[15:09] <carina> i only see a big compaq logo
[15:09] <Gpalco> c9s, I managed to setup alias with a fixed IP. But it only works when DHCP works TOO! like this: "eth0 Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:77:38:49:72  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS> inet6 addr: fe80::213:77ff:fe38:4972/64 Scope:Link
[15:09] <Gpalco> eth0:0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:77:38:49:72 inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS> "
[15:09] <ikonia> carina: enter the bios and if possible disable the bios logo
[15:09] <ikonia> carina: or lookup your model on the net for the ram make/speed
[15:09] <carina> is there any way to find in linux
[15:09] <i00_000i> ikonia: i installed the ubuntu server version it shld b ther by default i ran locate stdio but no result was listed
[15:09] <chef_> Dr-willis:Doh! Yes I was in /usr/lib looking for lib file (sorry... guess I'm a little thick) but in /usr/lib I've got /firefox & /mozilla so I'm unsure which I should consider the browser install path... there are many folders in the /firefox folder including a plugin sub-folder but only one within the /mozilla folder... also a plugin subfolder... very confusing
[15:10] <bobbyd> I have a weird problem: file dialogs and Nautilus windows are taking ages to appear (maybe 40 seconds). there's no CPU, Disk or Network activity though. I *think* this may have started happening since I started using Bluetooth for browsing my phone, but that may just be a coincidence. Has anyone got any ideas? (Runnign Gutsy on a Dell Inspiron 6400)
[15:10] <wols> caravel: what chipset?
[15:10] <ikonia> i00_000i why should it be there by default ?
[15:10] <Mal-NY> anyone run Darwin streaming server on Ubuntu?
[15:10] <ikonia> i00_000i: header files are not there by default
[15:10] <carina> any able to get compiz fusion work with ati card?
[15:10] <Xintruder> ikonia, is GeForce Go 7400 with 64mb dedicated memmory good enough??
[15:10] <wols> carina: xserver-xgl
[15:10] <wols> !xgl | carina

[15:10] <flint> wmaluk
[15:10] <bobbyd> oh, there's nothing in the syslog either
[15:10] <i00_000i>  ikonia: but itz ther in fedora so shld i download all the headers and copy it to /usr/include
[15:11] <Dr_willis> chef_,  personally i would  'wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2_i386.deb ' then 'sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2_i386.deb ' and dump the manual installer.
[15:11] <Gpalco> People! How can I tell Ubuntu which IP to use in case it fales to receive on from a DHCP server ???
[15:11] <ikonia> i00_000i: your not using fedora, so it doesn't matter
[15:11] <rexy> ikonia: you probably need the glibc-dev package
[15:11] <flint> wmaulik, you there?
[15:11] <rexy> err i00_000i
[15:11] <ikonia> rexy: ?

[15:13] <carina> what a good remote desktop software?
[15:13] <ikonia> i00_000i: ok
[15:13] <ampex> Is there a way without using commercial software like rar to compress files/directories to multiple spanning volumes of a certain size?
[15:13] <elde1> Mal-NY: give it some time bro, im sure someone will come along who knows your answer.
[15:13] <ampex> flint: I've used it forever, why the hollywood question? Because of the old ampex corporation?
[15:14] <flint> ampex, exactly.  btw try dosbox.
[15:14] <flint> ampex, oops rather try tar with gzip...
[15:14] <Gpalco> People! How can I tell Ubuntu which IP to use in case it fales to receive one from a DHCP server ??? (I now how to specify one in addition the one given by DHCP, but it doesn't work if DHCP server doesn't respond at all)
[15:14] <ampex> flint: heh, dosbox, tar with gzip, same thing :)
[15:15] <flint> ampex, the spanning volume thing worries me... should it?
