[03:14] <ubuntu_> awe8ga8++
[03:14] <ubuntu_> awey
[03:14] <ellevoros> zcat[1] i have compiz install but i can enable the visual effects and i think that the problem is that i don't have selected my graphic card !!!
[03:14] <gregbrady> I am greatly saddened, my favourite Empire Earth does not work under Wine.
[03:14] <smartface> Beererde, yes unfortunately
[03:15] <pajamian> x0rg62: that's the wrong control, unmute that (click on it again and make sure the slider is up) and find and mute the *PC SPEAKER* control.
[03:15] <tbuss> what is the best way to edit movies from a camcorder that uses mini disc
[03:15] <smartface> Can someone show me how to install that patch though (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=103136&action=view)??
[03:15] <macrobad> bitsbam: you don't really need to be able to read separate files to make a disk backup, just create an image
[03:15] <smartface> tbuss, try kino
[03:15] <Ashfire908> geirha, eh i'll just wait till hardy. i don't get the problem much. and usally it just makes sound stop working and my system load climc insanly high (but it doesn't slow the system).
[03:15] <bitsbam> Beererd it tells me that it has a bad superblock, try with -b 8193, but that does the same thing
[03:15] <tbuss> smartface: kino is for dv only right
[03:15] <smartface> not only tbuss
[03:16] <bitsbam> macrobad, with dd ?
[03:16] <geirha> Ashfire908: use irssi meanwhile then ;)
[03:16] <x0rg62> \o/
[03:16] <Ashfire908> geirha, i know it's alsa because aplay is part of alsa and when i tried to shut it down the init.d strict hung
[03:16] <x0rg62> fn+f9
[03:16] <macrobad> bitsbam, dd should suffice. Just be careful not to confuse input and output. =)
[03:16] <Ashfire908> geirha, i'm running xchat with the sound program manually set to " "
[03:16] <x0rg62> i'm so stupid
[03:17] <bitsbam> so like dd if=/dev/hdc1 of=imagefile.img? or something like that?
[03:17] <ellevoros> zcat[1]  also the log in screen resolution is 1920x1440 but the desctop have 1024x760!!!
[03:18] <x0rg62> but i can't mute the pc speaker by the gnome volume control pajamian
[03:18] <pajamian> x0rg62: why not?
[03:18] <bitsbam> macrobad, well, i don't have a spare 40 gb on anything. is there no way to repair the filesystem ?
[03:18] <x0rg62> there is not button for
[03:19] <ellevoros> zcat[1] i have compiz install but i can enable the visual effects and i think that the problem is that i don't have selected my graphic card !!!
[03:19] <ellevoros> zcat[1]  also the log in screen resolution is 1920x1440 but the desctop have 1024x760!!!
[03:19] <pajamian> x0rg62: then go into the edit menu, then preferences and find the line for PC Speaker and make sure it's checked.
[03:19] <doom2day> I am having significant problems with synaptic package manager right now; It crashes while starting up.  I checked my memory, and I took out the bad stick that I found, but it is still crashing.
[03:19] <x0rg62> yes
[03:20] <x0rg62> all is checked
[03:20] <zcat[1]> ellevoros: sounds like you have not properly enabled the ati restricted drivers... but as I say, I do not use ati cards so I cannot help much.. try admin > Restricted Drivers Manager and see if there's an ati option, and if it is enabled?
[03:20] <macrobad> bitsbam: look, you would anyway need free space to recover your drive. If you attempt to recover it, while writing data to the same drive, you will most likely loose it.
[03:20] <alexbOrsova> im having problems setting up an ubuntu box as a router, can someone help me?
[03:20] <x0rg62> and there is nothing for pc speaker
[03:20] <|gandhii|> I'm installing ddclient for updating a dyndns account and it is asking me "Interface used for dyndns service"?  I've been using dyndns for over a decade now (albeit on windows), and this is the first time I've been asked that.  What kind of "interface" is being asked for?
[03:20] <pajamian> x0rg62: well if it's checked then the control should appear on the volume manager, did you scroll to the right when looking for it?
[03:21] <macrobad> bitsbam, as for dd, here is good documentation: http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man1/dd.1.asp
[03:21] <ellevoros> zcat[1] it is enable!!!
[03:21] <macrobad> bitsbam, if I were you, I'd look for some disk recovery software in search engines.
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix
[03:21] <ubotwo> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[03:22] <bitsbam> macrobad, hey thanks for that
[03:22] <pajamian> ok, I have to head off, bye.
[03:22] <x0rg62> nothing appear pajamian
[03:22] <macrobad> bitsbam, just make sure not to write to the same drive you are trying to recover!
[03:22] <pajamian> x0rg62: don't know what to tell you, I have to get going, though.
[03:23] <x0rg62> bye
[03:23] <geirha> |gandhii|: have you tried searching for guides on internet sharing with ubuntu?
[03:23] <bod_> hey guys, got a major problem -- this morning i decided to install xp on a seperate hard drive purely for gaming, however, doing so *destroyed* GRUB to the point where i could no longer even think about booting ubuntu. after faffing with online tuto's and talking to Roadhazard on here, i finally got my grub menu back, only i gave me an Error 21: Can not mount selected point. So a few hours later and alot of googling i got that error
[03:23] <bod_> sorted, now i get an Error 15: could not find file. now this is the strange bit, GRUB has no option for windows, so i attempted to use F12 (F12 = Select first boot device) and choose my windows HD, but it sent me straight to GRUB loader, but i can now boot ubuntu??!!**!!?? so telling my machine to boot windows, allows me to boot ubuntu, annoying if i would have to do that everytime, and also i therefore have no way (apart from disabl
[03:23] <alexbOrsova> can anyone here help me configure an ubuntu box as a router?
[03:23] <bod_> ing ubuntu HD) of booting my windows disk,.,.plz help me, ;~)
[03:23] <x0rg62> i can mute the pcspaker by fn-f9 but not with de volume manager
[03:23]  * bod_ apologizes about the life stroy
[03:24] <ellevoros> zcat[1] what will happen if i go to admin> screen & graphic>graphic card>drivers and chose my card???
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> |gandhii|,  See also firestarter for connection sharing
[03:24] <anniku989> whats some cool graphical customizations for kubuntu?
[03:24] <zcat[1]> ellevoros: no idea.. try it?
[03:25] <geirha> alexbOrsova: have you tried searching for guides on internet sharing with ubuntu?
[03:25] <VentusIgnis> Hello?  My synaptic package manager won't start up and I am having trouble finding a way to fix it ...
[03:25] <geirha> |gandhii|: sorry, wrong nick :)
[03:25] <bod_> VentusIgnis, run from terminal to get error messages??
[03:25] <alexbOrsova> yes, and im having some problems
[03:25] <bitsbam> macrobad, right, thanks
[03:25] <fsk141> ello, can anyone help me to boot gOS via pxe?
[03:25] <|gandhii|> geira: yea..   they all are walkthroughs of setting up the config file.   When I installed the ddclient package it automatically ran a install script asking me this and other things that were more obvious.
[03:25] <holycow> bod_: this isn't a terribly usefull suggestion but here is what i would do
[03:26] <macrobad> bitsbam: not at all, really :)
[03:26] <bod_> holycow, anything is better than nothing ;~)
[03:26] <fsk141> gOS is based off ubuntu, can anyone help me pxe install it?
[03:26] <holycow> bod_: i would commit to backing up my /home dir and reinstall everything from scratch.  you can fix that manually fairly easily but its tricky and i don't want to guess over irc
[03:26] <alexbOrsova> geirha: im having problems using the route command in /etc/network/interfaces file
[03:26] <holycow> bod_: the key is install windows first, then JUST install ubuntu afterwards on the second hd
[03:26] <holycow> windows preffers to be on c: (though not really necessary anymore)
[03:26] <WorkingOnWis1> can I add a folder to the sources list?
[03:27] <fsk141> anyone do pxe installs?
[03:27] <holycow> so when you install windows first it will install its bootloader.  when you install ubuntu afterwards, it will see win, ask you where you want to install ubuntu politely and then just install the grub bootloader
[03:27] <zcat[1]> the real key is never, ever install windows at all :)
[03:27] <bod_> holycow, i no, but i couldnt install windows first because ubuntu was already installed,.,.,.. but any thoughts on the grub error 15? reinstalling would be a last resort really,. ive done it soo many times now,.,.(i hope hardy is stabler)
[03:27] <holycow> and keep a windows entry in grub so you can start it up
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> WorkingOnWis1, You can add a source to the list, but I dont think that is what you are asking
[03:27] <VentusIgnis> bod, I remember running something like the package manager from the console and getting a segmentation fault
[03:27] <holycow> bod_: thats what i'm getting at
[03:27] <holycow> backup your /home
[03:27] <holycow> wipe everything out
[03:27] <holycow> and start from scratch
[03:28] <ellevoros> the problem is that i don't know what must i chose radeon,radeon fglrx,fbdev,vesa???
[03:28] <holycow> you can have it done in 3 hours or less if you start now
[03:28] <fsk141> you all fail, no-one knows how to pxe install gOS?
[03:28] <ellevoros> zcat[1] the problem is that i don't know what must i chose radeon,radeon fglrx,fbdev,vesa???
[03:28] <holycow> its going to take far longer than that to find someone to guess their way over irc to fix the problem manually, even tho it can
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> WorkingOnWis1, Can you explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish
[03:28] <dryrot> fsk141: you could probably figure out how to pxe install ubuntu
[03:28] <dryrot> fsk141: gos is just some packages on top of that
[03:28] <holycow> bod_: like i said not usefull advice, just what i would do/suggest given the kind of problme and given that you are hoping for help over irc
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> holycow: 3hrs?.. damn, i usually reinstall, have all my programs and files back in place and settings done, in around an hour.. and thats moving about 10gigs of music, and about 10-15gigs of videos.
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_, pastebin your fdisk -l
[03:28] <alexbOrsova> has anyone here ever set up an ubuntu box as a router? this is my last plea for help...
[03:29] <fsk141> dryrot: its a little different with gOS, not much, but I cant get it to boot up
[03:29] <macrobad> bod_: my entry in the /boot/grub/menu.lst that is used to boot up windows: http://pastebin.org/22910
[03:29] <dryrot> alexbOrsova: im using gutsy on a laptop as a router, it's terrible
[03:29] <holycow> bod_: then whats the problem ?  :)
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova,  I mentioned firestarter earlier..
[03:29] <holycow> then again you may luck out
[03:29] <bod_> holycow, sata drive, il have it done in under 2 ,.,.hehe,.,. im a bit rusty on the command though, can you plz give me the command to tar the root and home folder excluding the media folder and other useless ones then sending the tar file to live on the windows disk,.,.plz
[03:29] <x0rg62> anybody have many problem with the lid switch ? (when we close the screen of laptop,sleep)
[03:29] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, must've missed it...
[03:29] <dryrot> fsk141: im pretty sure Gos is just ubuntu gutsy with packages.  i am running it right now.
[03:29] <holycow> bod_: we install ubuntu in less than 5 minutes
[03:29] <holycow> data and everything
[03:29] <bod_> macrobad, ty very much
[03:29] <fsk141> well I need to pxe install it, and am having trouble
[03:29] <holycow> its not a huge issue, depends on what your setup is
[03:30] <holycow> just offering you sanity
[03:30] <oboy03> can i download and burn the updates so i wont have to down load it for every workstation?
[03:30] <dryrot> fsk141: why dont you figure out how to pxe install ubuntu first.  since there are 50 billion ubuntu users, i bet someone has figured out how
[03:30] <macrobad> bod_: You may omit savedefault, but makeactive and chainloader are important
[03:30] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, that command only shows my windows disk,. not my pendrive, not my hard drives,.,.;~) how funny
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> tar -cvpzf /backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /
[03:30] <fsk141> dryrot: I did that already, its installing now, yet it wont work for gOS, this is pointless ubuntu is stupid
[03:30] <zcat[1]> I find it takes about four hours to install a dual-boot machine.. half hour for windows, three hours to find all the drivers windows wants, and about half an hour to get ubuntu installed and all the restricted packages set up.
[03:30] <bod_> macrobad, you lost me at omit
[03:31] <fsk141> Archlinux ftw
[03:31] <monte> does anyone know like a CAD program to make like blue prints and make that kind of stuff
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_, sudo fdisk -l  doesnt show all drives?
[03:31] <ethan> fsk141, agreed
[03:31] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, nope

[03:34] <Bradley> Jack_Sparrow: do u know how to make grub boot windows, even though it cant find it
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Bradley, You would need to fix grub or use a windows boot cd and fixmbr
[03:35] <captine> is it common for a wifi device to make the computer unstable when it is on with a cable plugged in at the same time
[03:35] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, can i pm you my output for    sudo fdisk -l         ??
[03:35] <holycow> bod_: don't pm people especially those kind enough to help you
[03:36] <Rico> hello, I'm having a problem in 8.04a6.  I can't get libdvdcss2 to install at all
[03:36] <Bradley> Jack_Sparrow: Grub, just doesnt see Windows.... what do i do, to fix it?
[03:36] <holycow> post q's in here, post outputs elsewhere
[03:36] <holycow> bod_: it helps the doogooders keep their sanity
[03:36] <bod_> holycow, cant post output elsewhere firefox not working, and im asking first,.,. politeness helps ;~)
[03:36] <zcat[1]> Bradley: edit /boot/grub/menu.list and uncomment the windows entry, and change hd(0,0) to hd(1,0) for the second drive
[03:36] <bod_> holycow, im a regular doogooder in here ;~)
[03:36] <esteve> hello chan
[03:37] <holycow> bod_: yes you can you can post via lynx in terminal
[03:37] <holycow> install that
[03:37] <holycow> and post online
[03:37] <Bradley> Jack_Sparrow: wait do i type that into the terminal or just open the file
[03:37] <holycow> just a suggestion, not telling you what to do
[03:38] <esteve> i am tring to partition my hard drive in ubuntu so i can install windows but keep my linux can any one tell me what software is easy to do this please
[03:38] <holycow> gparted or qtparted
[03:39] <Rico> how do i install libdvdcss2 on 8.04a6?
[03:39] <Bradley> zcat[1]: wait can i send u my file... in the paste thing then u link me to the corrected one... i dont want to do anything wrong
[03:39] <esteve> dose it run in a gui or in konsol ?
[03:39] <holycow> Rico: add medibuntu and install it from there
[03:39] <bod_> holycow, ok thanks for the suggestion,. i think im gonna skip the 'fixin it' thing and just reinstall,.,. 1 question,.,. what command do i use to backup my system?
[03:39] <l815> how can i update to hardy without messing anything up?
[03:39] <Rico> what's that
[03:39] <bod_> l815, no its still alpha,. could break at any time
[03:39] <viking_sejati> hi
[03:39] <usse1> l815: you can't update to alpha without a mess
[03:39] <chrome> howdy folks
[03:40] <l815> ahh, damn.. the live cd seemed fine T-T
[03:40] <zcat[1]> Bradley: well, it depends exactly where windows is installed.. first/only partition of second drive? primary slave or secondary master? (or secondary slave) drive?
[03:40] <holycow> bod you grab a livecd lik eknoppix, insert an external hd of some sort or put another hd on the pata/sata chain and copy and paste
[03:40] <holycow> if you have an ftp available to you you can ftp your home dir over too
[03:40] <bod_> l815, upgrade at your own risk,.,. bit impatient though, only a month left ;~)
[03:40] <zcat[1]> Bradley: you're at the point now where Linux will boot but there's no entry for windows?
[03:40] <l815> bod_, lol i was thinking that too, but since it's only a month away it shouldn't be too buggy :P
[03:41] <Bradley> zcat[1]: right
[03:41] <Bradley> zcat[1]: can we go to this room #boot
[03:41] <holycow> l815: thats is 100% the wrong attitude unfortunately
[03:41] <Rico> does medibuntu have a hardy repo?
[03:41] <holycow> this is ubuntu
[03:41] <bod_> holycow, 3 months ubuntu'er here,. i didnt understand any of that, i dont have an ftp thing,.,.
[03:41] <zcat[1]> ok
[03:41] <chrome> l815: fwiw I'm running hardy and its pretty solid except for some compiz glitches which have open bugs filed against them
[03:41] <holycow> they release far more quickly than they can really manage
[03:41] <bod_> l815, haha,. if it wasnt buggy it would be in beta not alpha
[03:41] <l815> bod_, good point haha
[03:41] <holycow> releases are buggy at the best of times but to their credit they are really ambitious
[03:42] <l815> chrome, the live cd seemed stable, but since the upgrade will be a mess i'd rather wait
[03:42] <ethan> hardy install experience blows gutsy away
[03:42] <l815> what does a lock on a shortcut icon mean/
[03:42] <holycow> bod_: ah ... okay so how do you normally back up your files?
[03:42] <chrome> l815: yeah I installed clean off the live cd. Not without some trouble mind you; the first burn I did at max speed and it was obviously dodgy
[03:42] <pewpewarrows> ethan: what's different in the hardy install?
[03:43] <vbgunz> is the mobile edition ready at all? pre-alpha, alpha, beta?
[03:43] <vbgunz> am searching now
[03:43] <chrome> but I'm really impressed at how fast eclipse is running compared to on 7.10; its running like a native app.
[03:43] <holycow> vbgunz: mobile edition of what?
[03:43] <l815> chrome, i learned my lesson with fast burning a while ago, i don't burn at max speeds anymore for live cds :P
[03:43] <vbgunz> mobile ubuntu
[03:43] <SoulBlade> im sorry if this is a newb question... but i just installed mythbuntu 7.1 and find its really slow.  my mouse isn't smooth and the gui isn't as responsive as WinXP which was previously on this machine.  Does anybody have any thoughts?
[03:43] <crexor> http://www.crexor.net/~crexor/ubuntu/
[03:43] <holycow> i had no idea, looking
[03:43] <bod_> holycow, is this a valid solution,.,. install ubuntu onto a new partition on the same HD as ubuntu now, then copy the files, then delete old partition and resize the new ones??? and i never seem to get round to doing backups ,.,.hehe (thats prob why i reinstall so much) ;~)
[03:43] <vbgunz> I would like to know if it would somehow work on an ipod touch
[03:43] <l815> hardy seems to use murrine
[03:43] <chrome> l815: i should know better myself; i just forgot to change the setting :/
[03:43] <SoulBlade> top showed i was pretty idle
[03:44] <holycow> bod_: well do you need anything from /home then?
[03:44] <l815> chrome, oh well we all make mistakes
[03:44] <mortuis99> hey all.   I just installed 7.10 from FF and now when i try and play youtube it freezes my machine.  can someone help?
[03:44] <bod_> holycow, i need all of /home
[03:44] <esteve> gpart dose not work :(
[03:44] <bod_> !doesnotwork | esteve
[03:44] <ubotwo> How should I know?
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> mortuis99, reinstall flash
[03:44] <ethan> vbgunz, itouch is running darwin/bsd anyways, and you wotld need a whole new interface
[03:44] <holycow> bod_: personally here is what i would do.  you have a really messed up config.  if i was sitting there i could fix it but again, i don't want to hose you over irc
[03:44] <bod_> what happened to the does not work factoid?
[03:45] <holycow> so i would buy an external usb hd for backups
[03:45] <holycow> copy paste your /home to that with a live cd
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !doesntwork
[03:45] <ubotwo> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[03:45] <holycow> then wipe nice and clean and start over
[03:45] <mlLK> anyone running compiz on dual monitors?
[03:45] <mortuis99> ok reinstalling now
[03:45] <holycow> bod_: anything else imho is just asking for trouble
[03:45] <holycow> omg
[03:45] <thinman1189> How do I burn a DVD movie? I have both K3b and gnomebaker but I'm not sure how. The files I want are on my computer and not extracted from a DVD.
[03:45] <bod_> holycow, 16 year old,. buying anything is not an option,.,. and i like hosin,.,.hehe, gotta learn somehow,.,. if you could walk me through it that would be grately appreciated
[03:45] <chrome> mlLK: no, that'd be CRAZY
[03:45] <holycow> there is an ubuntu mobile
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> mortuis99, and not inside ff with point and click..
[03:45] <holycow> what the hell?
[03:45] <vbgunz> ethan I am currently experiencing nothing but bugs in a sense with some of the hacked apps, namely vim and python... since there hacked I'd love to see something a bit more official on there
[03:45] <holycow> bod_: oh
[03:45] <chrome> mlLK: *tries it himself*
[03:46] <holycow> bod_: in that case yes your thinking is correct
[03:46] <holycow> that will work
[03:46] <holycow> however
[03:46]  * bod_ does a dance *woot woot*
[03:46] <VentusIgnis> Good bye :(  I'm gonna reinstall.  Maybe I'll see you again sometime :(
[03:46]  * bod_ however = damn
[03:46] <holycow> BEWARE: when you resize your linux partition
[03:46] <holycow> if it screws up
[03:46] <holycow> kiss your /home data byebye
[03:46] <holycow> forever
[03:46] <bod_> holycow, why would it screw up?
[03:46] <mortuis99> u mean not in synaptic?
[03:46] <holycow> it will never under any circumstances be retrievable especially if you are using ext3 for your file system
[03:47] <mortuis99> Jack_Sparrow u mean not in synaptic?
[03:47] <mlLK> LF compiz guru
[03:47] <holycow> bod_: i guess it's hard to explain unless you do this for a living
[03:47] <vbgunz> I'd quickly replace everything on the ipod touch easily, quickly if it could be replaced... I am not nuts about movies, music, pics and stuff... I got it cause I saw python and vim on there and thought it would work with minimal bugs... just using it I am experiencing too many :(
[03:47] <bod_> holycow, funny you should mention that,.,. thats my aspiration (kinda)
[03:47] <holycow> its a computer, if it can go wrong it will AT THE WORST time possible
[03:47] <bod_> true!!
[03:47] <holycow> that mobile ubuntu idea is horrible
[03:47] <holycow> holy cow
[03:47] <holycow> gtk has to die
[03:47] <holycow> lol
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> holycow, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> mortuis99, yes.. from synaptic
[03:48] <vbgunz> yeah, agree, Qt would probably rock it, jmho
[03:48] <holycow> gtk sucks as it is, gnome is horrible, and now we want to push this on to mobile devices?
[03:48] <bod_> holycow, how about this, i make a tar of my /home   then wack it on a seperate hd,. wipe the disk, install,. then extract he tar??
[03:48] <holycow> lol thats hillarious
[03:48] <holycow> bod_: that would work
[03:48]  * bod_ reminds holycow of the ower of the !lol ;~)
[03:49] <bod_> holycow, ok cool,.,. i seem to have the theory right,. but im not sure on the commands??
[03:50] <holycow> bod_: well when you tar, at least make sure you do tar -p at minimum to preserve permissions
[03:50] <holycow> its not horribly important but it might things a bit easier
[03:50] <bod_> could anyone tell me the command to make a tar.gz of my entire /home folder
[03:51] <holycow> the rest, i'm not sure i could run you through that, i just had 2 weeks of 18 hour days
[03:51] <bod_> holycow, oh oops,.,. too soon,.,. ok -p definately,.,.
[03:51] <holycow> i know i'll screw up your hd if i try
[03:51] <holycow> bod_: Jack_Sparrowposted a great link
[03:51] <holycow> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/
[03:52] <holycow> thats another interesting idea if you have a pendrive
[03:52] <bod_> holycow, im confident i can tar it (if someone tells me the whole command) then transfer to other HD, then delete all partitions then install,. its the replacing /home with the tar'ed /home i cant do
[03:52] <holycow> but sounds lik eyou have hd space and a cd installer
[03:52] <|2-bits|> Is there a way to make a program start minimized
[03:52] <mortuis99> Jack_Sparrow THANK YOU  it seems to work im testing it now
[03:52] <bod_> holycow, 80gig hd 40gig hd 20gig hd 2gig mem stick
[03:52] <holycow> how big is home?
[03:53] <holycow> actually
[03:53] <holycow> how big is your /user dir?

[03:57] <emotionalname> what does that do
[03:57] <bod_> holycow, my /home folder is 25 gig
[03:57] <BaD_CrC> i've been idling in #winehq for 3 days now. it's there. :)
[03:57] <bod_> !who | emotionalname
[03:57] <Bradley> zcat[1]: it say boot manager is missing :(
[03:57] <ubotwo> emotionalname: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[03:57] <zcat[1]> Bradley: for windows?
[03:58] <goose> how can I extract a .bin file?
[03:58] <forces> O.O
[03:58] <Bradley> zcat[1]: yeah
[03:58] <holycow>  tar -cvvfp foo.tar foo/
[03:58] <zcat[1]> hmmm.. ok
[03:58] <holycow> actually
[03:58] <forces> hola
[03:58] <holycow> do man tar
[03:58] <holycow> read up on the command
[03:58] <holycow> that is far better and more detailed than i can run you through
[03:58] <jditto> help!!!!
[03:58] <emotionalname> holy cow
[03:59] <bod_> holycow, have done,.,. proper confusing,.,. i seem to remember being told to add xcf as parameters aswell
[03:59] <zcat[1]> ummm.. everyone else ... /dev/sda2 would be hd(0,1) in grub, right?
[03:59] <emotionalname> holicow put names in front of your speech
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> tar -cvpzf /backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /home   ?
[03:59] <Pritchard> Hody! :D
[03:59] <goose> how can I extract a file inside of a .bin file?
[03:59] <Pritchard> Any chance for folder-embedded applications coming any time soon?
[04:00] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, wow, cheers,.,. accept not excluding the /home  ;~)
[04:00] <jditto> i started a distribution upgrade throught a vnc connection.  i can log in through ssh but i get a vnc authentication error when trying to reconnect.  i changed a couple of files that the upgrade had changed after it had changed them to make sure that i could get back on.
[04:00] <Pritchard> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3944/
[04:00] <holycow> Pritchard: what are folder embedded applications?
[04:00] <Pritchard> That link explains it all >.>;;
[04:00] <Bradley> everyone else ... /dev/sda2 would be hd(0,1) in grub, right?
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_, Just posted my normal backup command
[04:00] <BaD_CrC> Pritchard: ala macos?
[04:00] <joeb3_> Bradley, right.
[04:00] <Pritchard> Applications embedded in file browsing, basically.
[04:00] <holycow> that will never happen
[04:00] <holycow> ever
[04:00] <jditto> but now i can't.  i don't have a problem of going on site and logging in to finish the job. but i don't know how to take control of the other screen after loggin in at the terminal?
[04:00] <holycow> its not how an operating system works
[04:00] <zcat[1]> Bradley: I suspect some other breakage in windows... :(
[04:00] <Bradley> zcat[1]: yeah jeob3_ said "right"
[04:01] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, cheers m8, does that command (if i dont exclude /home) only backup /home    or would it backup other places?
[04:01] <smartface> How can I force my dual core to use both cores for video playback?
[04:01] <zcat[1]> Bradley: might have to ask someone else 'cos I gotta cook dinner  ... good luck.
[04:01] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, in other words,.,. how could i exclude everything BUT /home
[04:01] <forces> forces???
[04:02] <monte> hey i am a painter and a construction company owner and i need an architect program does anyone know of one
[04:02] <Bradley> zcat[1] okay
[04:02] <zcat[1]> monte: qcad ?
[04:02] <poseidon> Ok, I have a computer at home that has freeBSD on it (it doesn't have interent becuase my NIC isn't supported).  I am going to switch to ubuntu, and to get support for my NIC, I have to put on and build the ralink-rt73 kernel module.  My problem is how do i get that onto the computer since it has no internet connection.
[04:02] <poseidon> I'm downloading ubuntu via my friends computer, and am going to use a live cd
[04:03] <monte> zcat[1]: tryed that not what i am looking for i need to make floor plans and stuff
[04:03] <holycow> poseidon: wouldn't it be easier to just by a $5 dollar nic that is supported?
[04:03] <holycow> its faster, its cheaper and  you plug it in and it works?
[04:04] <bosanac> Hi how to set on xchat like on mirc timer /timer 0 30 /msg #channel (text) ?
[04:04] <netopalis> Haldo
[04:04] <holycow> heck if you know a tech store they probably havea box of old ones gathering dust and will sell it to you for $2?
[04:04] <poseidon> holycow, unfortunately, my parents won't let me use their credit card to go online and get a nic.  And bestbuy doesn't really have anything better
[04:05] <gvsa123> how can i get my login screen to the right resolution?
[04:05] <poseidon> So any suggestions?
[04:05]  * netopalis has a wierd sound recording issue...Probably just me being new and doing something stupid, but would someone mind helping me troubleshoot it?
[04:05] <goose> I have a .bin file that I want to extract the contents of; how can I do it?
[04:05] <bod_> holycow, can i just right click my /home folder and select tar this folder,.,. instead of doing it through terminal?
[04:06] <holycow> poseidon: well technically you could download all the build tools and source and just copy it over via usb
[04:06] <holycow> however
[04:06] <holycow> you will be making that trip to your friends a 1000 times
[04:06] <holycow> its a lot of files and a lot of knowhow
[04:06] <holycow> alternatively
[04:06] <goose> extracting a .BIN file
[04:06] <netopalis> Anyone?  Beuller?
[04:07] <holycow> if your friend had ubuntu, you could build that module for any target kernel, although it would be easier if your friend had the exact same version
[04:07] <holycow> so ...
[04:07]  * goose doesn't know how to extract files from a .BIN file
[04:07] <holycow> unfortunately the amount of work involved is quite onerous as your box doesn't have an internet connection
[04:07] <poseidon> Unfortunately he has windows :(
[04:07] <holycow> that roughly outlines the workload
[04:07] <Vovk> Hey! I'm having some problems mounting a DVD... I think it is in the UFS filesystem, but I'm not sure... in any case, it does not auto-mount as usual and gives an error message that UFS is not a valid filesystem
[04:07] <Vovk> what should I do?
[04:07] <holycow> in which case, option a is what yhou haveto do and i can't really list all the files you need :/
[04:08] <pretender> how do you get the mac style start bar in ubuntu
[04:08] <netopalis> Whenever I try to hit record on sound recorder, the window freezes.  Any idea why?
[04:08] <holycow> bod_: sure it won't keep all permissions tho but i think you can live without that
[04:08] <holycow> bod_: you dont haveto do /home either
[04:08] <holycow> just your /user dir
[04:08] <monte> someone help me
[04:08] <holycow> sometimes people have more than one account and the others contain bogus dat they don't need
[04:09] <Ashfire908> holycow, i'm just skiming but you could move the computer(?)
[04:09] <holycow> monte: just ask
[04:09] <bod_> holycow, yer, just me here though,.,. any way of editing the command the nautilus script that makes the tar uses and add -p to it?
[04:09] <holycow> Ashfire908: move what computer? i think you are referring to bod_?
[04:09] <monte> i need a really good cad program or to make floor plans
[04:09] <holycow> bod_: i'm NOT going to be going through that with you
[04:09] <holycow> lol
[04:10] <holycow> you have two nice and easy options :) choose on pls
[04:10] <Ashfire908> holycow, i didn't know who you were talking to. like i said i'm just skiming
[04:10] <hedpe> I'm using a thinkpad, and whenever i do not use my computer for about 60 seconds, my screen dims... and when i move my mouse again it does NOT undim... anyone know what might be the issue? i have to use my keyboard to turn the brightness back up
[04:10] <holycow> Ashfire908: in which case i have no idea what you are referring to :)
[04:10] <holycow> lol
[04:10] <holycow> monte: tried qcad maybe?
[04:10] <bod_> holycow, ok sod it,. im gonna live without the original permissions ,.,.lol ty though ;~)
[04:11] <holycow> bod_: you should be fine
[04:11] <holycow> np
[04:12] <bod_> holycow, il prob be done by the time mornign comes around then,.,.haha,.,. its irritating,. i hate windows!!!,.,. oh, this will add wiondows to the new grub list yes?
[04:12] <bod_> when i reinstall
[04:12] <holycow> windows first, then ubuntu,  yes
[04:12] <macogw> bod_: yes, at teh end
[04:12] <bod_> lol hahah
[04:12] <macogw> holycow: what?
[04:12] <monte> holycow: yea its not that good for wat i need
[04:12] <holycow> macogw: what? i was talking to bod_
[04:13] <macogw> bod_: make sure windows comes *after* the line that says end debian automagic kernel listing.  windows should be listed last
[04:13] <holycow> monte: oooooohkay.  then you want what? 3k worth of software for free or something?
[04:13] <holycow> that i think is the best open source package out there for cad
[04:13] <macogw> holycow: if you put windows before the ubuntu kernels, a kernel upgrade will erase windows from the grub menu
[04:13] <bod_> macogw, holycow, i cann move all these lines around in the grub list config file somewhere yes?
[04:13] <holycow> if it doesn't do the job i believe you only have whatever is available on the market :/
[04:14] <monte> holycow: yes lol pretty much
[04:14] <holycow> macogw: i think you are comming into this half way and missing a lot
[04:14] <holycow> i'm going to ignore that last statement
[04:14] <bod_> monte, discover the joy of *torrents* (i in no way condone torrents nor do i express the views of anyone in this channel)
[04:14] <netopalis> So, yeah...Could anyone please help me?  I have cookies!
[04:14] <nickrud> bod_: just before BEGIN or after END macogw is giving good info
[04:14] <prince_jammys> netopalis: you want to delete your cookies?
[04:15] <bazhang> netopalis: what is the issue please
[04:15] <holycow> macogws advice is fine but useless
[04:15] <netopalis> lol
[04:15] <bod_> nickrud, so aslong as its not in the linux 'section' i should be ok,.,. will i get to choose this or will it do it for me?
[04:15] <netopalis> Whenever I press record on sound recorder, it freezes
[04:15] <holycow> bod_ is installing windows FIRST on then ubuntu after.  that will by default put windows at the end of the grub list
[04:15] <netopalis> The window goes blank
[04:15] <bod_> prince_jammys, he will give you cookies!!
[04:15] <monte> bod_: wat do u have aim she we can talk about that
[04:15] <prince_jammys> bod_: i know, was kidding
[04:15] <holycow> the info is usefull but not relavant as he is reading the conversatio half way through
[04:15] <kraypius>  this program im running is going to eat up all 4 gigs of ram in the next few minutes before it completes its task. will this be bad?
[04:16] <nickrud> bod_: iirc the first install will add it after debian automagic
[04:16] <kraypius> should i stop it?
[04:16] <bod_> monte, we have PM
[04:16] <bazhang> !etiquette | holycow
[04:16] <ubotwo> holycow: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[04:16] <holycow> bazhang: screw off
[04:16] <holycow> hows that for etiquette?
[04:16] <bod_> nickrud, iirc??? im scared,.,.,.
[04:16] <dinochopins> hi, is it normal for openoffice to have a recovery dialog every time it is opened ? it is very annoying.. why it is happening ?
[04:16] <nickrud> bod_: lol, I always add it after when I do int manually
[04:16] <monte> bod_: pm me then
[04:16] <holycow> bazhang: translation, mind your own business
[04:16] <bod_> holycow, hey bazhang's cool give him a break

[04:16] <holycow> not a frickin chance
[04:16] <bazhang> heya bod_
[04:17] <macogw> holycow, bod_: ok sorry i missed the part about putting it before *all* the config stuff. i was afraid it was going inside the "automagic" section
[04:17] <hedpe> I'm using a thinkpad, and whenever i do not use my computer for about 60 seconds, my screen dims... and when i move my mouse again it does NOT undim... anyone know what might be the issue? i have to use my keyboard to turn the brightness back up
[04:17] <macogw> bod_: ignore me
[04:17] <bod_> nickrud, well im gonna come running to you for grub help in the future ;~)
[04:17] <macogw> dinochopins: it crashed while you were doing something
[04:17] <bod_> macogw, thanks for the info, i had no idea about that pos prob ;~)
[04:17] <macogw> dinochopins: it thinks you want your crashed data back
[04:17] <bod_> bazhang, me is reinstalling again!! yay,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
[04:18] <bazhang> bod_: nice!
[04:18]  * bod_ was being sarcastic baz

[04:19] <Ninesvnsicks> hello
[04:19] <bod_> factoids are changing!!! im scared *again*
[04:19] <broadcomlol> Is there anyone with knowledge of broadcom4318 rev02 wireless cards?
[04:20] <dinochopins> macogw, everytime ? hm...
[04:20] <bod_> broadcomlol, probably
[04:20] <Riekal> can someone help me with dual-boot XP / UBUNTU?
[04:20] <monte> register me
[04:20] <bod_> Riekal, install wondows first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:20] <dinochopins> Riekal, yes... what's wrong with it ?
[04:20] <Ninesvnsicks> I"m installing Ubuntu Desktop and I'm stuck at the partitioner
[04:20] <Riekal> well this is my first time setting up this
[04:20] <Riekal> so i dont know what direction to go in
[04:20] <Ninesvnsicks> do I want to make the ext3 first or the swap
[04:20] <bazhang> Riekal: listen to bod_ and install xp first ;]
[04:20] <Ninesvnsicks> it's been a while
[04:20] <node357> hi Ninesvsnicks
[04:20] <Riekal> XP is installed
[04:21] <monte> bod_: how do i register
[04:21] <mlLK>  compiz-fusion
[04:21] <node357> I think I played you on Unreal Co Op
[04:21] <bod_> Riekal, im reinstalling ubuntu cause i installed windows second..........
[04:21] <Ninesvnsicks> OMG
[04:21] <Ninesvnsicks> yeah
[04:21] <gvsa123> Riekal: make a partition for ubuntu then
[04:21] <node357> :)
[04:21] <bod_> monte, follow the instructions on the link ubotu gave u
[04:21] <Riekal> ext3?
[04:21] <BryanG4> so you need a good step by step how to ?
[04:21] <Ninesvnsicks> thats awesome
[04:21] <Ninesvnsicks> Node357: yeah i used to run 976 online
[04:21] <guero> can someone help my change the icon for gimp? i'm not exactly sure myself
[04:21] <node357> nice
[04:21] <gvsa123> Riekal: wait.. i'm getting the link
[04:22] <node357> cant talk though, got company.. good luck
[04:22] <bazhang> Riekal: the ubuntu installer will see your xp install and ask if you want to resize the partition; you can then safely install ubuntu next to it and then choose which you want to boot from the grub menu upon startup
[04:22] <prince_jammys> guero: the menu icon?
[04:22] <node357> FYI you know SVSNICK is an IRC services commandÉ
[04:22] <bod_> guero, type   locate gimp |grep png           that will find gimp icons, then its one in a app-install folder
[04:22] <Ninesvnsicks> Node357: Its been a while since i used linux i'm at the partitioner for ubuntu desktop does it matter which part I add first swap or ext3?
[04:22] <guero> prince_jammys: no, the desktop icon
[04:23] <Riekal> bazhang ok..i'll see if it works for me, im doing it right now
[04:23] <node357> Ninesvnsicks, usually not. the normal method is to create a primary partition then the swap but I`ve often made the swap first
[04:23] <macogw> dinochopins: if you never completed teh recovery, itll keep asking
[04:23] <prince_jammys> guero: right click on it first and then click on the icon to change it
[04:23] <prince_jammys> guero: right click -> properties. and the click on the icon
[04:23] <guero> prince_jammys & bod_: thanks a lot guys
[04:23] <Ninesvnsicks> Node357: ok well i have winxp installed already on the first half of the drive
[04:23] <bod_> guero, prince_jammys way is better ,.,. but mines more fun ;~)
[04:24] <Ninesvnsicks> Node357: so do i still want the ext3 to be primary?
[04:24] <node357> yes I would think so
[04:24] <guero> thanks guys
[04:24] <node357> the partioner should leave your XP partition and use all available space
[04:24] <gregcha117> my sound stopped working suddenly can someone help me out?
[04:24] <bod_> gregbrady, what did you do to break it?
[04:24] <Ninesvnsicks> Node357: ok for swap do I want it at beginning or end and logical or primary?
[04:24] <monte> register <lokey>
[04:25] <bod_> Ninesvnsicks, generally at the end
[04:25] <gregcha117> bod: opened up a dvd iso in kaffeine, it worked fine until i got past the menu then stopped
[04:25] <bod_> monte, i think you meant to typ   /msg nickserv register lokey
[04:25] <monte> hell i dont know wat i am doing
[04:26] <bazhang> gregcha117: you can also use vlc for that
[04:26] <Ninesvnsicks> and primary or lgoical for swap from what i remember it usually doesnt as k me that
[04:26] <bod_> gregbrady, does all your other sound work? its just bad sound on a dvd?
[04:26] <Riekal> bazhang ok so it boots to ubuntu then on the desktop allows you to install from there
[04:26] <Riekal> :
[04:26] <bazhang> Riekal: aye ;]
[04:26] <gregcha117> bazhang: yeah i know, i tryed that after thats when i realized i had no sound
[04:26] <bod_> monte, type exactly what i say              /msg nickserv register lokey0
[04:26] <bod_> monte, oops,. without the 0 on the end
[04:26] <gregcha117> i restarted and theres still no sound on ubuntu, its fine on my windows boot but somethings gone strange with ubuntu
[04:27] <bazhang> gregcha117: have you typed alsamixer into the terminal and made sure that nothing is muted?
[04:27] <thinman1189> How do I burn a DVD movie? I have both K3b and gnomebaker but I'm not sure how. The files I want are on my computer and not extracted from a DVD.
[04:27] <Ninesvnsicks> does it matter id swap is logical or primary?
[04:27] <gregcha117> bazhang: yep
[04:28] <monte> it is saying monte is already registerd
[04:28] <Starnestommy> Ninesvnsicks: I don't think so
[04:28] <Frogzoo> Ninesvnsicks: nope
[04:28] <gregcha117> bazhang: everythings at normal levels
[04:28] <Ninesvnsicks> ok
[04:28] <bazhang> thinman you might give devede a try
[04:28] <bod_> gregbrady, do you have more then 1 sound card,. like a sound card and motherboard soundcard?
[04:28] <bod_> gregcha117, ^^^
[04:28] <bazhang> err thinman1189 you might give devede a try
[04:29] <gregcha117> bod: nope just onboard
[04:29] <Ninesvnsicks> and i'm assuming beginning primary for ext3?
[04:29] <bod_> Ninesvnsicks, why are you doing it manually may i ask,.,. the guided use continuous free space will give you the same result and less hassle
[04:29] <BeauGeste> I can not mount windows shares in Hardy Heron Alpha 6. I am using the same /etc/fstab as i did in gutsy gibbon
[04:30] <monte> bod_: it is saying monte is all ready registered
[04:30] <bod_> BeauGeste, dont moan about Hardy its not finished
[04:30] <Ninesvnsicks> because i have windows xp as well
[04:30] <BeauGeste> not moaning just asking if this a problem or me
[04:30] <Ninesvnsicks> on a different part
[04:30] <cornfused> Ninesvnsicks, it will automatically reformat the ext3 partition when you install
[04:31] <bazhang> BeauGeste: that would be #ubuntu+1 thanks ;]
[04:31] <Ninesvnsicks> i have ntfs and freespace
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> BeauGeste, If you dont ask in Hardy they wont know if THEY have a problem, which is why we send Hardy users there.
[04:31] <BeauGeste> np
[04:31] <cornfused> Ninesvnsicks, what are you using to repartition
[04:32] <Ninesvnsicks> well i partitioned it in half with xps install leaving half free space
[04:32] <Ninesvnsicks> now i'm partitioning the freespace
[04:32] <cornfused> have you already partitioned the swap?
[04:33] <Ninesvnsicks> yeah
[04:33] <Ninesvnsicks> i set 1gb at end and logical
[04:33] <Ninesvnsicks> now i just need the ext3
[04:33] <Newbuntu2> is there a howto/primer somewhere that explains how to interact with a device driver?
[04:33] <Cann0n> best linux advice i have, hit up a local goodwill and hope u find a linux for dummies
[04:33] <cornfused> Ninesvnsicks, just partition the rest as ext3 primary
[04:34] <cornfused> and then install
[04:34] <bazhang> Newbuntu2: what kind?
[04:34] <Ninesvnsicks> ok beginning?
[04:34] <chrome> omg, I got compiz working on nvidia with dual displays and twinview
[04:34] <chrome> *awesome*
[04:34] <cornfused> Ninesvnsicks, that is the amount of space to leave, so if you want empty space, change that, otherwise leave it
[04:34] <chrome> this is sick
[04:35] <Newbuntu2> bazhang:  http://rafb.net/p/lJ2EHd35.html
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> chrome: yeah, its actually pretty easy w/ Nvidia.. ATI.. not so.
[04:35] <bazhang> Newbuntu2: would that be wireless?
[04:35] <Newbuntu2> usb data acquisition
[04:35] <chrome> IndyGunFreak: I had a little trouble with it at the start, but its working perfectly now. Desktop cube is WIDE ahha
[04:36] <Newbuntu2> bazhang: ftp://lx10.tx.ncsu.edu/pub/Linux/drivers/USB/
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> chrome: yes it is... compiz looks freakish w/ dual screens.
[04:36] <LogicalDash> Flash Player doesn't seem to be listening when I change my keyboard layout--any way to fix?
[04:36] <bazhang> Newbuntu2: still in the dark here; what exact kind of usb device, or all of them
[04:36] <poseidon> How hard would It be to install a kernel module from a usb?
[04:37] <poseidon> If I don't have a NIC to use to downloa it
[04:37] <Newbuntu2> bazhang: USB 1208FS (see http://www.measurementcomputing.com/cbicatalog/cbiproduct_new.asp?dept_id=412&pf_id=1665&mscssid=0JD6QWHUNMA89LBM4J24LG3EEH634JM2 for the device)
[04:37] <thinman1189> bazhang thanks I'll check it out
[04:37] <marckie> Hello!
[04:37] <bazhang> thinman1189: okay come back if you have questions ;]
[04:37] <eatatjoes2> does anyone know how to install flashplayer and the flashplayer plugin for mozilla?
[04:38] <c01100011> to get changes to my emerald theme to apply I have to change the window decorator to GTK and then back, new packages/fix ?
[04:38] <cornfused> it should come up to install it if you try to play a flash
[04:38] <marckie> eatatjoes2: are you in 32 or 64bit
[04:38] <chrome> IndyGunFreak: i do wonder now how I can make maximise only maximise onto the one screen instead of across both
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash

[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> chrome: thats in your nvidia-settings..
[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> i'm not at my PC today, but thats where it is..
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> its one fo the settings there,
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> chrome: youre probably also having the issue when you have to log in as root, the place where you enter the password, is in between 2 monitors.
[04:40] <marckie> install the ubuntu-restricted-extra
[04:40] <marckie> its all there eatatjoes2
[04:40] <chrome> IndyGunFreak: yerp
[04:40] <chrome> IndyGunFreak: is it the MetaMode thing?
[04:40] <eatatjoes2> okay, how do i know which ones i need to install?
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> chrome: yeah, its a setting in nvidia-settings.. iw ish i coudl remember it, but basically, it makes 1 monitor like the "default".. mode.
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> chrome: no.. not athat i don't think
[04:41] <cornfused> chrome: is it an nvidia card
[04:41] <marckie> eatatjoes2: its just one file in synaptic which includes everything you'll need...
[04:41] <kstan> server: irc.gnome.org
[04:41] <marckie> from java to flash and mp3 stuff
[04:41] <chrome> cornfused: yeah, 7800GT

[04:44] <mandrig> Hey, when I try to connect to a wep secure network, my computer freezes... Can anyone help?
[04:45] <cornfused> Coded1, are you sure that's not your resolution
[04:45] <Coded1> its almost impossible to navigate
[04:45] <Coded1> i tried using "ctrl + alt + '+' "
[04:46] <Coded1> is that the right one?
[04:46] <eatatjoes2> marckie, nevermind i got it
[04:46] <cornfused> Coded1, I'm not sure about the shortcut, check in the screen resolution item of one of the menus
[04:47] <cornfused> Coded1, is it panning?
[04:47] <Coded1> 2 menu items take up the entire screen
[04:47] <Coded1> nope
[04:47] <chrome> cornfused: its working for me now, thanks :)

[04:50] <bloody`> its locked
[04:51] <pancho_> hello
[04:51] <bloody`> hi
[04:51] <l815> how do i unlock it?
[04:51] <cornfused> l815, that;s a permissions thing, typically it means you only have read permissions
[04:51] <bloody`> pancho: what file
[04:51] <l815> cornfused, how can I unlock it?
[04:51] <pancho_> i need help with my snes emulator en 7.10 please
[04:51] <cornfused> l815, sudo chmod xxx filename
[04:51] <bloody`> chmod 755 <file>
[04:51] <l815> thank you both :)
[04:51] <pancho_> i open zsnes, but it closes itself T_T
[04:51] <cornfused> l815, change xxx to the mode you want for it
[04:52] <pancho_> who can help me with that?
[04:52] <bloody`> pancho: did you build from source?
[04:52] <mandrig> when I try to connect to a wep secured network, my computer freezes, can anyone help?
[04:52] <pancho_> nope, i installed it from synaptic
[04:52] <cornfused> mandrig, what's your wireless card
[04:52] <bloody`> mandrig: wireless is really hit-or-miss in linux still
[04:52] <pancho_> nope, i installed it from synapti
[04:52] <bloody`> pancho: try compiling from source
[04:52] <pancho_> okay
[04:53] <bloody`> pancho: make sure you remove the old package, first
[04:53] <mandrig> cornfused: realtek rt8187
[04:53] <cornfused> mandrig, did it work out of the box?
[04:53] <bloody`> mandrig: i have an rtl8180 that works
[04:53] <bloody`> oob
[04:53] <mandrig> cornfused: it works on non-wep networks, (open authentication)
[04:54] <Louie247> usb? mandrig?
[04:54] <mandrig> Louie247: no, PCI
[04:54] <Louie247> get the drivers from realtek?
[04:54] <bloody`> rtl drivers come with linux
[04:54] <cornfused> mandrig, like bloody` said, it really is just hit and miss with those
[04:54] <mandrig> Louie247: what bloody says
[04:55] <Louie247> ah
[04:55] <l815> i just installed JDK but have no idea where i saved T-T
[04:55] <mandrig> but its only on WEP
[04:55] <l815> *installed
[04:55] <Ninesvnsicks> well that didn't work lol
[04:55] <Chipsa964> so i downloaded hardy heron and im trying it out on livecd...should i do a full install of it or stick with gutsy for now?
[04:55] <bloody`> l815 try 'which JDK'
[04:55] <Ninesvnsicks> Looks liek the hard drive is gone
[04:55] <cwillu> Chipsa964, stick with gutsy
[04:55] <l815> bloody', what do you mean?
[04:55] <Chipsa964> cwillu, oh ok
[04:55] <cwillu> Chipsa964, if you need something from hardy, there's a backport repository you can download packages from
[04:56] <cornfused> Ninesvnsicks, unless you took it out, it's still there
[04:56] <RoAkSoAx> !motu
[04:56] <bloody`> l8: run that command
[04:56] <ubotwo> motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[04:56] <Ninesvnsicks> lol
[04:56] <cornfused> Ninesvnsicks, where are you seeing this
[04:56] <l815> bloody' ah okay
[04:56] <cwillu> Chipsa964, unless you enjoy fixing a random thing every time you update :p
[04:56] <Ninesvnsicks> I mean dead
[04:56] <Chipsa964> cwillu, my internal mic works in hardy
[04:56] <Ninesvnsicks> works no more hehe
[04:56] <RoAkSoAx> !development
[04:56] <ubotwo> How should I know?
[04:56] <Chipsa964> but not in gutsy
[04:56] <RoAkSoAx> !develope
[04:56] <Ninesvnsicks> node357: do you still play unreal?
[04:56] <chrome> now the only problem i have is gnome-terminal windows getting corrupted when they are not the selected window
[04:56] <l815> bloody' it returns nothing
[04:57] <Chipsa964> and thats the only thing thats messin me up in gutsy...i want my mic to work
[04:57] <cwillu> Chipsa964, it'll be in a proper beta soon (i.e., not expected to break things, although it still may), it'd be more advisable to wait for that
[04:57] <Lovecats> hi again :D
[04:57] <bloody`> l8: run 'updatedb', then run 'locate JDK'
[04:57] <bazhang> RoAkSoAx: what are you looking for? you can /msg the bot you know
[04:57] <Lovecats> can someone help me to get my wireless setup please? :D
[04:57] <cornfused> Chipsa964, just wait till April when the proper release of Hardy Heron is
[04:57] <RoAkSoAx> bazhang, i didn't know that, thanks ;)
[04:57] <Chipsa964> cwillu, would you have any idea on how to get it to work in gutsy?
[04:57] <chrome> haha, no, which java
[04:58] <bazhang> Lovecats: gui or cli?
[04:58] <Lovecats> cli?
[04:58] <chrome> or which javac
[04:58] <bazhang> RoAkSoAx: no worries ;]
[04:58] <bloody`> !cli
[04:58] <ubotwo> 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
[04:58] <gregcha117> can someone help me get my sound back?
[04:58] <cwillu> Chipsa964, one more segment of my rant :p:  the work you need to do to make your mic work in gutsy is the type of thing you'd have to do every week or so if you follow the updates in hardy before it's stable :p
[04:58] <cwillu> annnnyways
[04:58] <bloody`> greg: try #alsa
[04:58] <cwillu> one sec Chipsa964
[04:58] <gtt> anyone have any tips for deleting deleting duplicate files? fslint-gui kind of stinks
[04:58] <Chipsa964> ah ok
[04:59] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 Lovecats here is the cli (command line) method in full ;]
[04:59] <Lovecats> i can get my computer to connect to the internet via my ethernet
[04:59] <Chipsa964> i mean, i have no problem waiting for hardy to be released
[04:59] <gtt> i'm about to switch video cards... anyone have any tips for a smooth install?
[04:59] <Chipsa964> i just wanna get it to work in gutsy :-p
[04:59] <bazhang> gtt buy nvidia ;]
[04:59] <bloody`> gtt: from what to what?
[04:59] <Lovecats> ah well im pretty good at unix CLI but i would rather use a gui :D
[04:59] <guero> hey is there a way to change the icon for specific files like mp3's? appreciate the help
[04:59] <cwillu> Chipsa964, what version of alsa-base does synaptic say you have in gutsy?
[04:59] <gtt> from a nvidia6600 to an nvidia 6200.
[04:59] <cornfused> Lovecats, what's the card?
[04:59] <Lovecats> i have run that lshw -C network command but i dont see a wireless i only see a wired
[04:59] <bazhang> Lovecats: then network manager should do fine; what wireless card
[05:00] <Lovecats> well its a gateway
[05:00] <Lovecats> (sigh) :D
[05:00] <bloody`> gtt: downgrading? it should be autodetected, and will more than likelikely use the same driver
[05:00] <cornfused> Lovecats, lspci
[05:00] <Lovecats> lemme check their website
[05:00] <Chipsa964> cwillu, hold on, i havent installed gutsy yet...im still running Vista :(
[05:00] <Lovecats> k one sec
[05:00] <bazhang> Lovecats: try lspci if it is internal and lsusb if it is a usb dongle
[05:00] <Chipsa964> so let me load it up real quick and ill tell you
[05:00] <Lovecats> its internal
[05:00] <cwillu> Chipsa964, np, I can check
[05:00] <Lovecats> lspci returns lots of stuff lemme grep on wireless
[05:01] <Chipsa964> oh ok
[05:01] <raju>  live cd booting ,but throwing  the error is like " Does not exist Dropping to shell "
[05:01] <l815> is there a way I can find out what version of a program is in the repositories?
[05:01] <Lovecats> doesnt look like i have any wireless device =X
[05:01] <Chipsa964> cwillu, do you mind if i ask you in PM? my eyes are killin me in here
[05:01] <gtt> bloody`: so my only necessary step should be physically swapping the cards? downgrading because of the fanless design.. the 6600 is going into a faster machine... it just makes more sense this way.
[05:01] <gordon> what is that X program which lets you remap mouse button presses into a key combination? (ie: mouse button 9 becomes CTRL+ALT+F)
[05:01] <gordon> i can't recall the name
[05:02] <bazhang> l815: sure /msg the bot with info packagename
[05:02] <Munchkinguy> Is it possible to set up VNC such that the client is not *controlling* the server, but rather simply running a second instance of the computer (like Virtualization)?
[05:02] <bloody`> gtt: yes, linux will take care of the rest.
[05:02] <l815> bazhang, which bot?
[05:02] <Lovecats> i knew i should not get a gateway lol but it was 400$ :D
[05:02] <gtt> nice
[05:02] <Bossmanbeta> Munchkinguy, yea set it for display :1
[05:02] <Bossmanbeta> instead of 0
[05:02] <gtt> i guess i should stop procrastinating and do it.
[05:02] <cwillu> Munchkinguy, vncserver can do that, not dead sure the package name
[05:02] <bazhang> l815: /msg ubotu or ubotwo info packagename
[05:02] <l815> bazhang, thanks
[05:03] <bazhang> no worries ;]
[05:03] <cornfused> Lovecats, look up your computer model and information and see if you can find a model for the wireless card there
[05:03] <Lovecats> ok
[05:03] <Lovecats> one sec
[05:03] <Munchkinguy> Thanks, I'll try that.
[05:03] <Lovecats> i think i did that b4
[05:03] <Bossmanbeta> Munchkinguy, you'll need to configure a server for display :1 before u try the client
[05:04] <Lovecats> 6008038R - Integrated Realtek 802.11b/g Wireless Networking (CRU/EURP)
[05:05] <Lovecats> here is the link

[05:06] <Lovecats> so i guess i need to find ubuntu support for Realtek?
[05:06] <cornfused> Lovecats, you might need to use ndiswrapper
[05:06] <Lovecats> ah
[05:06] <marckie> yeah i agree...
[05:06] <Lovecats> is this something i can download via the update manager?
[05:06] <yeonhoo> why does "./configure" checks for many things??? its checks for g77 and why??
[05:06] <marckie> im waiting for wine to be incorporated in kernel
[05:07] <Lovecats> im waiting for wine to be poured in my glass :)
[05:07] <cabrioleur> !ndiswrapper
[05:07] <ubotwo> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:07] <cornfused> !ndiswrapper
[05:07] <Lovecats> k lemme try that one sec
[05:07] <cabrioleur> Who doesn't love ndiswrapper :-)
[05:07] <Starnestommy> yeonhoo: it needs to know what kind of things need to be changed to get something to build correctly
[05:07] <cornfused> I don't
[05:07] <cornfused> I'd perfer the card to work out of the box
[05:07] <Lovecats> i dont have ndiswrapper installed
[05:08] <Lovecats> so would i ;X
[05:08] <Lovecats> but then again u dont learn that way :D
[05:08] <cornfused> Lovecats, are you on the comp you are installing Linux on?

[05:10] <cornfused> cabrioleur, all we need is the drivers actually made for Linux instead of it needing a wrapper
[05:10] <Starnestommy> yeonhoo: check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoconf or search for "./configure"
[05:10] <yeonhoo> Starnestommy, what i dont understand is when "checking for g77 ..... no " "checking for blablabla ..... no " and several lines repeating "no"
[05:10] <yeonhoo> Starnestommy,  thank you :)
[05:10] <Starnestommy> yeonhoo: some computers use blah, some don't

[05:21] <cornfused> l815, if you install the package instead of manual install, netbeans finds it automatically
[05:22] <l815> cornfused, yah that's right. thanks
[05:23] <[dcr]> bloody`: do you know how to get one of the trial keys or anything for VMWare?

[05:32] <cabrioleur> astheo, "killall firefox-bin"
[05:32] <astheo> thanks
[05:32] <darkcrab> i mean the actual drivers did not work.
[05:32] <ghindo> darkcrab:  I've heard of a problem that prevents Flash from installing properly, but am not sure how to fix it.  What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[05:32] <darkcrab> I downloaded them
[05:32] <jrib> darkcrab: do you want to troubleshoot it now or have you resolved your issue?
[05:32] <darkcrab> but they didnt work

[05:32] <darkcrab> its resolved. Got it from the adobe website. I just think its stupid.
[05:33] <astheo> confused : yup, but i cant get my emerald working so i uninstalled it. however when i tried to load the appearance window it is not working anymore. i can't click on the buttons
[05:33] <yeonhoo> how can i put "/usr/lib" in LD_LIBRARY_PATH ? Somebody please can help me?

[05:33] <chrome> and firefox tries to be helpful but fails.
[05:34] <jrib> chrome: firefox pops up a big yellow bar when you need flash, that's pretty obvious

[05:36] <chrome> its like, one of them isn't using the mixer.
[05:37] <darkcrab> tried that one chrome and it did not work for me.

[05:39] <NETWizz> Anyway, I cannot play flash, music or anything after installing a different monterboard
[05:39] <NETWizz> Everything was fine before the upgrade

[05:40] <cabrioleur> rashind, you said that you have libdvdcss installed, right?
[05:40] <SayaSe> jrib, any convenient way to find that out?
[05:40] <cornfused> NETWizz: is it an onboard sound card?
[05:40] <astheo> cornfused: it isnt working still, can i just uninstall it and install another one?
[05:40] <NETWizz> I can do that but why?
[05:40] <rashind> cabrioleur: libdvdnav4 is installed, I can burn DVDs and read those dvds
[05:40] <NETWizz> Yes, onboard
[05:40] <jrib> SayaSe: type "groups"
[05:40] <NETWizz> I am using the same processor and RAM I used on my previous VIA ECS board
[05:40] <darkcrab> wow, thats way beyond the scope of my configuration abilities netwizz.
[05:40] <NETWizz> I did not want to change anything except the motherboard in this upgrade

[05:42] <cepheid> Hello all. I have recently installed Gutsy. I can connect to my wireless ap and load google, but no other sites. ZT laptop and netgear 802.11b router.
[05:42] <SayaSe> jrib, http://pastebin.com/dd0efbbb
[05:43] <iobelisk> quick question: if i dualboot two distros, is it recommended that i do not share home directory between both?
[05:43] <darkcrab> I do believe it is theme specific.
[05:43] <astheo> cornfused: ok. iafter i did the gtk-window-decorator --replace..it is now broke even more
[05:43] <cornfused> astheo: did it disappear
[05:43] <chrome> cabrioleur: maybe he needs alsa-tools
[05:43] <jrib> SayaSe: so you run "sudo -K", then try "sudo echo hi" and you are not prompted for a password?
[05:44] <astheo> cornfused: nope, still there but not all parts are present
[05:44] <chrome> hmm, not in there
[05:44] <cornfused> astheo: what do you mean by that
[05:44] <cabrioleur> NETWizz, as chrome suggested, make sure you have alsa-utils and alsa-tools installed (whichever applies)
[05:44] <NETWizz> Would a sound problem result in media players freezing up as soon as they try to load media

[05:45] <SayaSe> jrib, yes it does ask for a password ... but it doesn't in System - Administration.
[05:45] <darkcrab> netwizz, sounds like you dont have the right codecs
[05:45] <NETWizz> IT worked fine before I moved the hard drive to a different motherboard
[05:45] <darkcrab> or they are improperly installed
[05:45] <NETWizz> I have flash installed and it works fine until I click on play
[05:45] <darkcrab> probably the configuration then.
[05:46] <cabrioleur> j_humphrey, yes. It's a bug in your theme. Contact the author.
[05:46] <NETWizz> For example, I can go to youtube and the menus work perfect in flash
[05:46] <darkcrab> you cant just change stuff in your system and not reconfigured linux.
[05:46] <darkcrab> its not windows
[05:46] <j_humphrey> cabrioleur, I've been changing to several different themes, and it still wont go away
[05:46] <jrib> SayaSe: ok, run "sudo -K" again and try "gksudo users-admin".  You are not prompted for a password?
[05:46] <astheo> cornfused: all are disabled..the tab buttons on the top. so with the add, edit, and customize..
[05:47] <SayaSe> jrib, yes it ask for a password this way.

[05:47] <cabrioleur> j_humphrey, I hate broken ubuntu gnome. Well, open terminal, kill the panel, load a new one from the terminal and catch the errors. Try to change the theme to see more what's going on.
[05:47] <Cann0n> yo, how do i kill the annoying system passwords every time i change something? thats new to me
[05:47] <darkcrab> NETWizz, if it was me, since I dont know jack shizz about configuring linux to that extent, I would back up my stuff and reinstall.
[05:48] <jrib> SayaSe: and if you run "sudo -K", and then go to your menu and try to access System -> administration -> Users and Groups, does it ask you for a password?
[05:48] <rainarrow> I tried "vesafb/radeonfb/vga16fb+fbcon", and the moment I do "modprobe fbcon", I could switch to my virtual terminal to confirm fbcon is working
[05:48] <NETWizz> I am hopeing to avoid doing that
[05:48] <rainarrow> but when I switch back to X, the system just hangs
[05:48] <Cann0n> NETWizz, ubuntu doesnt come with alsamixer
[05:48] <cabrioleur> rashind, what is the highest number at the end of libraries when you type "ls /usr/lib/libdvdcss*"?
[05:48] <Flannel> Cann0n: you dont want to.  You won't be changing things like that much after an initial period.  And its much safer
[05:48] <SayaSe> jrib, no it does not.

[05:48] <rashind> cepheid, that sounds like it would very easily be a router problem.  Have you tried resetting the router to defaults, and/or hooking up via an ethernet port?
[05:48] <jrib> SayaSe: how long has this occurred?
[05:48] <Cann0n> Flannel, i do want to. slackware isnt like that...

[05:50] <RyuhoKudo> using wget?

[05:51] <Omnimon-X> Um. I was having problems with my microphone; it wasn't working. It worked perfectly on Windows, so I googled and found a driver for my sound card. However, once I installed it, my sound stopped working completely, and now my computer doesn't even detect any audio devices nor my sound card. How do I rollback to previous audio settings?

[05:54] <jrib> SayaSe: hmmm, I just tried using 'sudo -K' here to force me to enter the gui password but it does not reset gksudo apparently
[05:54] <rashind> cabrioleur, then when I close it via the X on the window decorator, it spit out "ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 7110, errno = 0"
[05:54] <Cann0n> Flannel, i guess its the gnome gui im not used to or something... time to get fluxbuntu
[05:54] <cornfused> Cann0n: if there were a root password, that would be the thing any ssh hack would attempt to hack.
[05:54] <RyuhoKudo> weird
[05:54] <RyuhoKudo> i still get ERROR 400: Bad Request.
[05:54] <cornfused> Cann0n: since there is none, it is more secure
[05:54] <Flannel> cornfused: That's not what he's confused about.
[05:54] <RyuhoKudo> maybe it's the server
[05:54] <iobelix> i intalled foresight on another partition and used the same username and password and i had major file permission problems and could not log in, i solved all of those but was just wondering if in the future i should either not share home directory or perhaps use a different username?
[05:54] <rainarrow> argh, seems everyone is overlooking me..
[05:55] <BeauGeste> but there is a root password, its just the user does not know it. its not more secure
[05:55] <Flannel> BeauGeste: no, there is no root password
[05:55] <rainarrow> I can't get framebuffer console to work on my Thinkpad T43 with a ATi X300 card, I have searched around, and tried the solutions on the launchpad, in which none worked for me
[05:55] <cornfused> BeauGeste: that password that you type is your password
[05:55] <nickrud> rainarrow: noone's overlooking you, no one (to my knowledge) has gotten framebuffer working properly with ati
[05:55] <Flannel> BeauGeste: the root account is locked, no possible password could successfully login
[05:55] <Cann0n> cornfused, doesnt matter about root, its geared toward "humans" not advanced users... but, ive been out of the technical loop for a few years.... i just recent switched to ubuntu
[05:55] <rashind> rainarrow, Sorry, not overlooking you, just not familiar with ATi issues.
[05:55] <SayaSe> jrib, guess the gksu lock might be stuck then ... any way to kill it?
[05:55] <BeauGeste> okay then son, try this "sudo bash ; passwd" set it to what you like
[05:55] <nickrud> rainarrow: framebuffer console that is
[05:55] <BeauGeste> no root password?
[05:55] <Flannel> BeauGeste: correct.  The root account is locked.
[05:56] <rainarrow> Hello nickrud and rashind
[05:56] <jrib> SayaSe: trying to look it up now, but I'd guess logging out and back in would have to do it
[05:56] <rainarrow> Actually I've got that working before this reinstallation
[05:56] <Flannel> BeauGeste: and please don't suggest people go around setting their root passwords.  It just leads to support hassles.
[05:56] <cabrioleur> rashind, it doesn't tell anything about the cause, but can you try the same with xine or totem-xine?
[05:56] <BeauGeste> okay I agree with that but it can be unlocked
[05:56] <Flannel> BeauGeste: it can indeed.
[05:56] <Cann0n> for example, i wish to run wifi-radar. i dont want to have to type a password each time
[05:56] <SayaSe> jrib, I'll give it a shot. Back in a minute or two.
[05:56] <rainarrow> I remembered doing that through radeonfb+fbcon..but after I reinstalled system yesterday, I could no longer get it to work
[05:56] <nickrud> Cann0n: set it suid then. I think that's what it is in other os's
[05:56] <Flannel> Cann0n: That's doable.  But it'll still run with elevated privledges
[05:57] <BeauGeste> and i agree that if you don't know what you are doing you should not play as root
[05:57] <rainarrow> well, if no one could give hints that's too bad, thank you all anyway
[05:57] <deeproot> RyuhoKudo its not the server
[05:57] <RyuhoKudo> ?
[05:57] <RyuhoKudo> then what could it be
[05:57] <nickrud> rainarrow: if you get it back up, how about writing it up for the wiki so I can use it :)
[05:57] <[T]-Rex> yo
[05:57] <deeproot> if i just type in the last link it downloads for me
[05:57] <deeproot> wget "http://veoh-124.vo.llnwd.net/Vpreviews/p/7cb07dd860b56aeb85ab36146f6bd1ebd4980c75.flv?e=1205041977&ri=5000&rs=100&h=24133a941e0614fd7860b5896d6c1297"
[05:57] <prince_jammys> RyuhoKudo: you have no problems with wget and other sites?
[05:58] <Cann0n> Flannel, i just dont want to type a password every time i run sometime. plus Wireshark i have to run in sudo otherwise my network devices wont show up. thats a problem with my ndiswrapper privileges
[05:58] <RyuhoKudo> i don't have any problem
[05:58] <rainarrow> nickrud, ok I'll try...
[05:58] <cornfused> what the crap is that FloodBot doing?
[05:58] <Flannel> Cann0n: thats correct.  You just need to suid like nickrud suggested.
[05:59] <jrib> cornfused: they help manage the channel, just ignore them
[05:59] <iobelix> i intalled foresight on another partition and used the same username and password and i had major file permission problems and could not log in, i solved all of those but was just wondering if in the future i should either not share home directory or perhaps use a different username when dualbooting?
[05:59] <cabrioleur> Cann0n, you can set up your sudoers in such manner that it will not ask you for password when you execute this particular command.
[05:59] <cornfused> jrib: I understand the channel management, but one just de-oped another? why?
[05:59] <Rawrakitten> Does anyone know why Ubuntu keeps rewriting my X server, or know the proper xorg.conf "Device" values to make a 7800 gtx work properly?
[05:59] <Cann0n> figured that much. also, whats up with the sound server? i plug in head phones and i hear it speakers too...
[06:00] <SayaSe> jrib, well that fixed it. I thought the first reboot would've done that so I never thought that far. Thanks for the guidance.
[06:00] <Cann0n> cabrioleur, will i have to do it to every command? or can i set it up golbally?
[06:00] <jrib> SayaSe: yeah, strange issue.  Glad you sorted it out though
[06:00] <Cann0n> globally*
[06:00] <cabrioleur> Cann0n, you can, but it's a huge security hole up there.

[06:01] <Cann0n> cabrioleur, not worried about security... i mean, this is a laptop. if it was on my slack server, i'd be worried
[06:01] <zero88> Does Ubuntu come with GTK installed?
[06:01] <nickrud> !gutsysources | zero88
[06:01] <ubotwo> zero88: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[06:01] <SayaSe> kenny`, remove the CD from your software sources.
[06:01] <nickrud> zero88: if you have cdrom enabled, you probably want to make sure of the others as well
[06:01] <kenny`> SayaSe: thanks :)
[06:01] <SayaSe> Then update the repos and it should work... had the same issue.
[06:01] <Trubadurix> helo how do i check if i have my port 6112 open?
[06:01] <darkcrab> I downloaded Emerald Theme Manager and I have a theme, but it doesnt do anything. What am I doing wrong?
[06:02] <Cann0n> so whats up with ubuntus sound server no wanting to kill speaker while a headphone jack is plugged in?
[06:02] <Cann0n> thought that was a hardware switch
[06:02] <cornfused> darkcrab: do you see the theme or has it not changed?
[06:02] <darkcrab> it wont change
[06:02] <zero88> nickrud im not sure with what that has to do with my question.
[06:02] <rashind> cabrioleur, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58957/  It seems to be using an old libdvdcss... though I don't know why
[06:02] <bruenig> Cann0n: say alsa, don't say ubuntu's sound server
[06:02] <darkcrab> i click on it, and it does nothing
[06:03] <darkcrab> and when I go to fetch repository that does nothing either.
[06:03] <Cann0n> bruenig, wasnt sure what sound server ubuntu came with
[06:03] <cornfused> darkcrab: that's because you're still using metacity
[06:03] <nickrud> zero88: disabling the cdrom (in the instructions above) will cause apt to look for it on the net
[06:03] <cabrioleur> rashind, what's the version of it?
[06:03] <RyuhoKudo> god damn it, why do you start working now?
[06:03] <jrib> zero88: yes, ubuntu comes with gtk installed
[06:03] <RyuhoKudo> thanks
[06:03] <darkcrab> How do I change?
[06:03] <rashind> cabrioleur, 1.2.5
[06:03] <cornfused> darkcrab: I believe if you run emerald --replace
[06:03] <Starnestommy> Trubadurix: netstat -l | grep ^tcp | grep 6112
[06:03] <nickrud> zero88: sorry, wrong nick (scroll fatigue)
[06:03] <jrib> nickrud: wrong nick (kennny was asking about the cd-rom repo)
[06:03] <zero88> nickrud yes i have cdrom disabled. I did cache search but came up wtih about a hundred searches for gtk
[06:04] <zero88> nickrud :) i thougth so
[06:04] <rashind> cabrioleur, actually, that's not libdvdcss, it's the libdvdread version #
[06:04] <cabrioleur> rashind, doh, I just looked at pastebin :-)
[06:04] <Cann0n> bruenig, since i dont use alsamixer to adjust sound volumes, do u know the answer to my question or were you trying to be rude?
[06:04] <zero88> jrib ok thanks. how can i tell what version
[06:04] <nickrud> !gutsysources | kenny`
[06:04] <ubotwo> kenny`: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[06:04] <NETWizz> I got it :-)
[06:04] <NETWizz> Sound is running :-) :-) :-)
[06:05] <zero88> !snack | ubotu
[06:05] <ubotwo> How should I know?
[06:05] <jrib> zero88: apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0
[06:05] <NETWizz> sudo apt-get remove alsa-utils linux-sound-base alsa-base
[06:05] <NETWizz> and then the reverse
[06:05] <NETWizz> I did the first wiath a purge
[06:05] <dan__> hello
[06:05] <Trubadurix> Starnestommy: hmm nothing happend ?
[06:05] <bruenig> Cann0n: just wanted to make sure you realized that ubuntu doesn't write sound servers, a lot of people seem to attribute things to ubuntu incorrectly
[06:05] <kenny`> ubotwo: 10x
[06:05] <Starnestommy> Trubadurix: in that case, it probably isn't listening on 6112
[06:06] <zero88> jrib kool thanks
[06:06] <deeproot> i may get kicked for this but Cann0n you have a shitty attitude
[06:06] <dan__> anyone know anything about "MythTv" frontend ?
[06:06] <Trubadurix> Starnestommy: and thats mean its closed?
[06:06] <zero88> jrib and im asumming i have all the gnome libraries sence i am running in  gnome
[06:06] <Cann0n> deeproot, thankyou.
[06:06] <iobelix> i installed another distro on another partition and used the same username and password and i had major file permission problems and could not log in, i solved all of those but was just wondering if in the future i should either not share home directory or perhaps use a different username when dualbooting?
[06:06] <Starnestommy> Trubadurix: yes
[06:06] <Trubadurix> Starnestommy: aha so do you know how to open it? :-)
[06:06] <kust3mz> Can someone help me with running ununtu linux i have a prolb with installing it
[06:07] <jrib> zero88: probably depends on what you mean by "all the gnome libraries".  Why do you want to know?
[06:07] <Starnestommy> Trubadurix: run a program that binds to port 6112
[06:07] <cornfused> kust3mz: more info on the problem plz
[06:07] <SayaSe> kst3mz, what kind of problem?
[06:07] <rashind> iobelix, sharing home directories can be dangerous, but you might be able to work around it by changing your login settings to allow you to log in even if you don't own your home directory.
[06:07] <morghanphoenix>  Anyone know what the problem is here, trying to play a mkv file and this is all that mplayer xone or vlc will give me. I've installed both libraries listed on the matroska page so I don't know what's wrong with my video, any ideas? http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s294/morghanphoenix/Errors/snapshot1.png
[06:07] <nickrud> iobelix: the uid (user id) is what is written to the disk, and the os matches that to the corresponding name in /etc/passwd. You need to make sure both os's are using the same uid number for the user name
[06:08] <chrome> iobelix: ^^ what he said
[06:08] <SayaSe> morghanphoenix, are you using that abomination that is Compiz?
[06:08] <Trubadurix> Starnestommy: well axely my problem is i run a program "redvex" and it makes the error "cannot bind on port 6112"
[06:08] <morghanphoenix> Aye, that it?
[06:08] <Cann0n> deeproot, do you know how why alsa doesnt switch off speakers when audio jack is plugged?
[06:08] <cornfused> SayaSe: What did compiz do to you?
[06:08] <SayaSe> morghanphoenix, disabling it solved that issue for me. Course I don't know if you want the fancy effects.
[06:09] <zero88> jrib http://mono-project.com/InstallerInstructions
[06:09] <deeproot> Cann0n sorry no but i did get some great help with my laptop's sound problems from alsa those dudes are great in there
[06:09] <SayaSe> cornfused, nothing, I just don't think it's worth the hassle that it can cause.
[06:09] <deeproot> Cann0n join /alsa and ask i bet they can help
[06:09] <cornfused> SayaSe: I guess that makes sense, it worked out of the box for me
[06:09] <jrib> zero88: but mono is packaged in the repositories as well.  And I believe it's installed by default too
[06:09] <zero88> jrib also if you know where would i get these?     libgailutil.so.17 libglitz.so.1 libnspr4.so libplc4.so libplds4.so
[06:09] <iobelix> nickrud, rashind, chrome, thank you. what if i were to use a different username but mount the same partition as /home for both distros? i can always change access permissions to share docs etc
[06:10] <Cann0n> deeproot, join #2,000  these guys are funny
[06:10] <zero88> jrib WHAT? default? hm, i knew it was in the respitories but i wasnt sure everyhting i would need to dl. so i jsut dl the installer
[06:10] <Techt0nix> when i try to load Unbuntu i get the splash loading bar it hangs at 3 bars can anyone help?
[06:10] <SayaSe> cornfused, it works just fine here too, but it takes system resources for things I don't need.
[06:10] <jrib> !guidelines > Cann0n (read the private message from ubotu)
[06:10] <whereamitoday> i accidently removed the connection icon from the panel (the one that shows that you are connected "wired") whats the name of that panel?
[06:10] <nickrud> iobelix: it's easier to change the uid's to match. Edit the /etc/passwd and /etc/group file in one os to match the other for the name
[06:10] <cornfused> Techt0nix: how long does it hang? a little hang is normal
[06:10] <jrib> Cann0n: read those and do not do that again
[06:11] <Techt0nix> i left it for longer then 30mins
[06:11] <cabrioleur> rashind, one more thing to try
[06:11] <deeproot> haha you win im a newb
[06:11] <Techt0nix> it will not load up at all
[06:11] <Cann0n> :) all fun and games
[06:11] <cornfused> Techt0nix: can you boot in recovery mode?
[06:11] <Cann0n> jrib, i wish someone was here to kick the person that did that to me last week...
[06:11] <zero88> Techt0nix, have you been able to boot before?
[06:11] <iobelix> nickrud, okay, i will remember that. so the uid and guid should be the same as the distro that was installed first?
[06:11] <amenado> whereamitoday-> nm applet
[06:11] <Techt0nix> never been about to boot before
[06:11] <cabrioleur> rashind, insert a css dvd and make sure that /dev/dvd exists
[06:11] <Techt0nix> able*
[06:12] <ghindo> Techtronix:  hit Escape at GRUB
[06:12] <whereamitoday> amenado, huh?
[06:12] <Techt0nix> im sorry im nub at linux what is GRUB
[06:12] <NETWizz> I love the Ubuntu Documentation
[06:12] <NETWizz> THe people who write it are awesome
[06:12] <amenado> whereamitoday-> you had a question i answered
[06:12] <Cann0n> Techt0nix, a boot loader
[06:12] <cornfused> !grub | Techt0nix
[06:12] <ubotwo> Techt0nix: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:12] <whereamitoday> amenado, where can i find that?
[06:13] <jrib> Cann0n: In the future, you can always call !ops if no one is around when you need an opp in this channel.  In any case that doesn't mean you should do it to others
, just hit Esc when it tells you to hit Esc to enter the menu during boot.
[06:13] <Cann0n> Techt0nix, if you had windows on another partition, it would allow you to select which os to boot
[06:13] <rashind> cabrioleur, Hm.  No, it doesn't.  I have dvd1 and dvd2... but no dvd
[06:13] <Optimus55> hey can anyone help me with a problem here? gutsy doesn't do my cpu scaling anymore on my AMDx2
[06:13] <jrib> zero88: you want to stick to installing things from the repositories
[06:13] <Techt0nix> when i tryed it i took windows off because i wanted to only run Ubuntu
[06:14] <NETWizz> Just build a dedicated ubuntu compute
[06:14] <cornfused> Techt0nix: GRUB will allow you to boot ubuntu in recovery mode
[06:14] <CVD-PR> hey there, where are the databases i created in mysql?
[06:14] <NETWizz> A better question is how to back up your databases
[06:14] <cornfused> Techt0nix: it will then give you terminal output while booting which will show you where it stops
[06:14] <Techt0nix> ok so i just put in the CD and when it starts to boot i push esc?
[06:14] <Cann0n> jrid, if i fall for something stupid, i'm not going to run and tell an op. :P reminds me of the old windows Alt + F4 trick.
[06:14] <CVD-PR> ?
[06:14] <NETWizz> I can help you backup your databases if you wish
[06:15] <cornfused> Techt0nix: your booting from a live CD?
[06:15] <astheo> hi, anyone likes to help me with my appearance window? i cant anything on it after i installed and uninstalled emerald...
[06:15] <NETWizz> I never bother to find out where they are stored
[06:15] <NETWizz> I do backup my MySQL databses daily
[06:15] <astheo> hi, anyone likes to help me with my appearance window? i cant click anything on it after i installed and uninstalled emerald...
[06:15] <Starnestommy> CVD-PR: I think /var/lib/mysql/
[06:15] <Techt0nix> i had downloaded the ISO file off ubuntu site
[06:15] <Techt0nix> and burnt it to a cd useing MagicISO
[06:15] <cornfused> Techt0nix: right, but I thought you had already installed
[06:15] <NETWizz> I cannot remember the emerald thing
[06:16] <NETWizz> You have to substitute the proper windows manager
[06:16] <Techt0nix> no can not even get it to start
[06:16] <morghanphoenix> Well SayaSe It just changed colours, now the wierd crosshatched mess is green.
[06:16] <NETWizz> Do you have GLX support?
[06:16] <SayaSe> morghanphoenix, you'll have to restart X.
[06:16] <cornfused> Techt0nix: there is a list that comes up when you boot from a Live CD
[06:16] <morghanphoenix> ah, brb
[06:16] <astheo> NETWizz: are you refering to me?
[06:16] <cornfused> Techt0nix: It doesn't use grub
[06:16] <singh> Hi... test message... I need some help
[06:16] <Techt0nix> my Friend has the same computer as me nothing diff. but he dont have the montior like me woudl that be the problem?
[06:16] <NETWizz> whoever was asking :-)
[06:16] <crexor> http://www.crexor.net/~crexor/ubuntu/
[06:17] <zero88> jrib got it
[06:17] <SayaSe> singh, just ask.
[06:17] <Cann0n> Techt0nix, did you write is as an image?
[06:17] <Techt0nix> yes
[06:17] <cornfused> Cann0n: he got the ubuntu loading bar
[06:17] <singh> test again
[06:17] <CVD-PR> Starnestommy, yep you are right , thanks
[06:17] <SayaSe> singh, just ask.
[06:17] <cornfused> !who | Techt0nix
[06:17] <ubotwo> Techt0nix: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[06:18] <rashind> singh, we see your message, just ask
[06:18] <Techt0nix> Cann0n: yes
[06:18] <Cann0n> cornfused, didnt see that line.
[06:18] <singh> Is there a known problem when putting ubuntu to sleep??
[06:18] <astheo> NETWizz : lol, i dont know bout glx thing. all i know is i cant run my emerald coz of my graphics card. so i uninstalled hoping i would get my appearnce window working again. but it still fails...
[06:18] <singh> My screen blanks after waking up...
[06:18] <Cann0n> hmm. when u boot it from a live cd, its super slow... i thought mine didnt work.
[06:18] <chrome> ah Twinview 24" flat panels running at 1920x1200 is pure sex, let me tell you.
[06:19] <NETWizz> WHat graphics card do you have, astheo?
[06:19] <Cann0n> Techt0nix, what are the specs on that system?
[06:19] <rashind> singh, there are ENDLESS known problems putting Ubuntu to sleep.  I've got 3 laptops, and I haven't gotten one to sleep and come back without screwing something up.
[06:19] <Techt0nix> Cann0n: well my friend has the same computer as me and his works fine
[06:19] <NETWizz> you can run glxinfo
[06:19] <zero88> jrib does mono,(if you know) give you an environment like visual basic. or is it all command line?
[06:19] <Cann0n> did you check the md5 of the iso file after u downloaded it?
[06:19] <NETWizz> The first two lines are hte most important
[06:19] <NETWizz> display: :0  screen: 0
[06:19] <NETWizz> direct rendering: Yes
[06:19] <Techt0nix> Cann0n: 512MB RAM 40GB HD 2.93 processor
[06:19] <astheo> ATI, never asking bout it, i tried to get work in every distro i tried but no luck. gettin my appearance window work this time is all that matters...:)
[06:20] <astheo> mind
[06:20] <Cann0n> compaq?
[06:20] <Techt0nix> Cann0n: HP
[06:20] <NETWizz> ouch
[06:20] <nonix4> rashind: mainly audio & usb/firewire type of problems?
[06:20] <NETWizz> I like Nvidia
[06:20] <NETWizz> THey are the bomb on Linux
[06:20] <astheo> yeah il buy one soon
[06:20] <NETWizz> Mine has a crappy 7600 GT and it renders awesome
[06:20] <Techt0nix> cann0n: also a nVidia 256MB video card
[06:20] <Cann0n> hmm i'd go back to the .iso file and check to see if the md5sum matches it
[06:21] <singh> thanks rashind. the thing is, I have audio playing when it sleeps, and after wakeup it continues playing... but the screen is almost blank. I say almost because I can see a faint image of my logon-dialog and it is responsive too!!!
[06:21] <Cann0n> nvidia rock
[06:21] <rashind> nonix4, my best shot had no audio on waking, but another machine won't even bring up gnome or a working command line on waking.
[06:21] <NETWizz> If I were to buy a card now, I would probably get a 7800 GT or an 8600 GT with 512 MB
[06:21] <kraft__> hello
[06:21] <wexler> NETWizz: Do you install the nVidia driver using their recommended steps?
[06:21] <NETWizz> yes
[06:21] <kraft__> i've just found out raid 1 seems to be broken
[06:21] <Techt0nix> Cann0n: how would i know if md5 matches it i have never tryed linux before today
[06:21] <kraft__> is that a well known issue?
[06:21] <astheo> so no fix for my problem?:(
[06:21] <NETWizz> apt-get install nvida-glx-new I think
[06:21] <NETWizz> or it is just nvidia-glx
[06:22] <nonix4> kraft__: broken in which sense?
[06:22] <wexler> ah ok, I've always gone to run level 2 and ran the .sh file
[06:22] <Techt0nix> Cann0n: u can open a Query if u like would be easyier to talk
[06:22] <wexler> but its a pain when the kernel is updated - have to recompile the nvidia kernel
[06:22] <NETWizz> I used to do the .run files
[06:22] <kraft__> nonix4: sorry, that was prolly a little to general, raid 1 won't boot degraded
[06:22] <NETWizz> It was causing me a problem
[06:22] <zero88> singh!
[06:23] <NETWizz> IT would run until I rebooted
[06:23] <wexler> yeah, I've had that issue before
[06:23] <nonix4> kraft__: depends on the way you installed grub
[06:23] <NETWizz> grub is fine I think
[06:23] <rashind> singh, sounds like your problem is relatively minor: just a brightness issue.  If security is no big issue for you (or even as a quick test, if it is), try going to administration -> login window, and make it log you in automatically.  Then, even if the brightness is wrong, you may have luck adjusting it while logged in.
[06:23] <nonix4> kraft__: I think by default grub gets installed wrong
[06:23] <NETWizz> I have kernels all the way back to DApper
[06:23] <NETWizz> haha
[06:23] <NETWizz> My Grub list is huge
[06:23] <abortd> ubotu fixed?
[06:23] <kraft__> nonix4: orly? any directions on how to fix?
[06:23] <astheo> how to view firefox donwload manager?
[06:24] <NETWizz> You just click on downloads
[06:24] <NETWizz> Same as Windows :-)
[06:24] <Cann0n> wow.. just tried out open arena... kudos on that game
[06:24] <wexler> or ctrl+y
[06:24] <norty> i have postgresql installed and i messed it up and i want to uninstall it so i can start clean, how do i uninstall it?

[06:24] <Pulpie> where can i find the pingin plugin that allows you to connect to the xfire protocal
[06:24] <Darkmystere> Err, How do i figure out what Version of the ATI Driver i have installed..? also whats the newest ATI Cataylist Version
[06:24] <whereamitoday> i recently installed gmount and when i click on an .iso it doesnt have an option to "open with gmount" and when i go to open with another app its not in that list either, is there another way?
[06:24] <NETWizz> I did a hard drive upgrade in Ubuntu before
[06:24] <rashind> cabrioleur, no ideas?
[06:24] <NETWizz> My upgrade process
[06:24] <NETWizz> Dapper to Edgy
[06:24] <NETWizz> Edgy to Fiesty
[06:25] <NETWizz> Fiesty to Gusty
[06:25] <NETWizz> 100 GB IDE to 200 GB SATA
[06:25] <NETWizz> VIA K8T890-A ECS to ABIT Nforce 4 SLI KN8-SLI
[06:25] <astheo> hey, anyone can recommend a download manager for ubuntu?
[06:25] <NETWizz> All of that without a re-install
[06:25] <NETWizz> Azureus
[06:26] <NETWizz> Azureus manages my downloads :-)
[06:26] <norty> i have postgresql installed and i messed it up and i want to uninstall it so i can start clean, how do i uninstall it?
[06:26] <NETWizz> I use WGET though for http downloads
