[04:52] <soundray> curley_sue: you can probably find the kind of tool you need on the ultimate boot cd (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/)
[04:52] <sbassett516> Dark-Knight: what prog where you using for music the first time? Was it accessing the rom drive, what prog second?
[04:52] <yereth> so will grub now know what partition my kernels etc are on?
[04:52] <orbin> ic56: yep, found it in /home ... was looking in /home/username :-S
[04:52] <maerk> mkoby: i got that far and got scared :) is there any sort of walkthrough available somewhere?
[04:53] <mkoby> maerk: If there is, I don't know about it (sorry).
[04:53] <|lostbyte|> how to make an initrd under ubuntu ?
[04:53] <mumbles_laptop> ok all - i am having trouble using make install
[04:54] <yereth> well, thanx anyway
[04:54] <mumbles_laptop> i get a make: command not found
[04:54] <mumbles_laptop> eroer
[04:54] <nemoo> hi all
[04:54] <mkoby> mumbles_laptop: sudo apt-get install make
[04:54] <mkoby> mumbles_laptop: though I could be wrong.
[04:54] <nemoo> after LVM I get the error: *** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list 0x00000.....
[04:54] <orbin> ic56: can i safely chmod the properties of the folder?
[04:54] <tacticalcron> mumbles - apt-get install build-essential
[04:54] <nemoo> someone had something similar?
[04:55] <ic56> orbin: you mean the lost+found directory?
[04:55] <Dark-Night> I was useing 'CD Player' First and then 'Music player' which i tryed to copy some tracks but it was taking to long so i decied to end the copying 1/2 throu a track
[04:55] <maerk> would it be possible to get windows to create the partition, then have the ubuntu linux install onto that partition?
[04:55] <orbin> ic56: yes
[04:55] <Dark-Night> maerk : yes
[04:56] <sbassett516> Dark-Night: looks like it got exclusive access to /dev/hdc. Try "sudo eject /dev/hdc"
[04:56] <maerk> Dark-Night: hooray! should i create more than one partition? I.e. for the swap?
[04:56] <ic56> orbin: yes, you can. fsck bypasses filesystem permissions.  However, the default permissions are well chosen and for good reasons.  What did you want to change them to and why?
[04:56] <tacticalcron> You should have a /swap that is twice the installed RAM.
[04:56] <tacticalcron> Some people like creating /home on a separate partition.
[04:56] <stevietool> my mplayer plugin plays in schocks with wmv files? Is that normal?
[04:57] <orbin> ic56: i noticed the l+f folders on / and /home did not have big red crosses on them.  the one on /backup does
[04:57] <ayabara> I'm formatting an 143086 byte partition to ext3. before I start it says 14287 is used. Is it supposed to be so much overhead?
[04:57] <|lostbyte|> how to make an initrd under ubuntu ?
[04:57] <ic56> orbin: red crosses?  Hang on, let me see
[04:57] <orbin> ic56: in nautilus i meant
[04:58] <orbin> ic56: it signifies root ownership and a chmod flag of 700
[04:58] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: i did  "sudo eject /dev/hdc" and it said "unable to find or open device for: `/dev/hdc'
[04:58] <Dark-Night> "
[04:58] <tacticalcron> mumbles - that is correct.  :-)
[04:58] <sbassett516> Dark-Night: regular ide cdrom drive?
[04:58] <Dark-Night> maerk: yeah you should creat two partitions one for Ubuntu and one for the swap around 250Mb - 300Mb
[04:59] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: yeah IDE Primery, i think. DVD-RW
[04:59] <Godis> Where can I find a program that can lock up my RAR files free?
[04:59] <doms> python2.3-xml
[04:59] <doms> missing
[05:00] <maerk> mkoby and Dark-Night: thanks for your help, i hope I can get this working :D
[05:00] <Dark-Night> good luck
[05:00] <orbin> Godis: just install the rar packages and i think you can set a pswd w/ file-roller.
[05:00] <maerk> thanks, probably be back here before long ;)
[05:00] <sbassett516> Dark-Night: Primary??? What type of hdd do you have?
[05:01] <orbin> ic56: nvm.  it's just an aesthetic thing i was wondering about
[05:01] <ic56> orbin: ah, I get it.  a folder in red with an "x" in it is Nautilus's way of sayin you lack access to that folder.
[05:01] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: oh sorry primary on IDE2 HDD is one IDE1 as Primery
[05:01] <tacticalcron> Any Xubuntu/Dapper users out there?
[05:01] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: oh sorry primary on IDE2 HDD is on IDE1 as Primery*
[05:01] <mumbles_laptop> how do i find out what kernel virsion i have ?
[05:01] <bigbill50> i am having a problem with my directory in terminal mode i can see it with ls command but cannot change to it because i get an error no such file or dir
[05:01] <tacticalcron> mumbles - uname -a
[05:01] <Dr_Willis> tacticalcron,  twiddling with it now. :P
[05:01] <ic56> orbin: that is the correct permission: 700.
[05:01] <orbin> ic56: yes, i also couldn't see how many items were in the folder in list view.  but like i said, purely aesthetic
[05:02] <sbassett516> Dark-Night: So this would be the Master drive on the Secondary controller, correct?
[05:02] <scifi> hey guys i have downloaded a .run file, how do i run it ? :P
[05:02] <orbin> ic56: i actually changed it to 755 to match the other 2.  i'll change it back
[05:02] <ic56> orbin: exactly: an ordinary user *shouldn't* be able to view the contents of the lost+found folder.  That's because *any* file could end up in there -- including sensitive files.
[05:03] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: Correct
[05:03] <orbin> ic56: i see
[05:03] <Dr_Willis> scifi,  egads.. :P thats such a FAQ. :P   what is the file ya grabbed anyway?     'chmod +x whtever.run' ' ./whatever.run'
[05:03] <yereth> guys, I have trouble with booting the new kernel
[05:03] <yereth> when I boot it, I get this:
[05:03] <made> I can play wmv videos but all I get is sound.. no video?
[05:03] <scifi> Dr_Willis: its armyops250-linux.run
[05:03] <yereth> VFS: cannot open root device "HDA7" or unknown-block(0,0)
[05:03] <yereth> please append a correct "root=" boot option
[05:04] <orbin> made: what player?
[05:04] <yereth> kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[05:04] <made> I have installed the w32 codecs and I'm using totem 1.2.1
[05:04] <yereth> but my old kernel, 2.6.12-10-k7, boots fine
[05:04] <orbin> made: oh, is this dapper?
[05:04] <_jason> made: are you using totem-xine?
[05:04] <ic56> orbin: I see on my own recently created filesystems that several lost+found directories were created with perms 755.  That's a security risk, but apparently the mkfs developers don't think so..
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> scifi then   'chmod +x whtever.run' ' ./whatever.run'  should do it for ya
[05:04] <made> breezy
[05:04] <yereth> I installed the new kernel with apt-get and ran update-grub
[05:05] <stevietool> I wanna stream wmv and it plays in shocks with mozilla-plugin in firefox ??
[05:05] <yereth> can anyone help me?
[05:05] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: Would it be ok if i where to just use a paper clip?
[05:05] <made> no just totem
[05:05] <_jason> made: try totem-xine
[05:05] <sbassett516> Dark-Night: as long as it is not being accessed, yes.
[05:05] <made> should I use totem-xine?
[05:05] <made> ok
[05:05] <yereth> ANYONE, please?
[05:05] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: The light is off and i cant hear anything moveing in there, so i hope so
[05:05] <sbassett516> Dark-Night: I would reboot after that though.
[05:05] <scifi> ok its "verifying archive integrity...."
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> yereth,  so its just the new kernel that dont work?
[05:06] <yereth> Dr_Willis: every new kernel I installed the last months
[05:06] <sbassett516> Dark-Night: It should be showing up as an entry within /dev/
[05:06] <mumbles_laptop> ok all - i am trying to install ndiswraper using instructions from http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation and ai am getting make[1] : Entering directory `/home/mumbles/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.15/driver'

[05:06] <scifi> All good, now uncompressing :)
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> yereth,  now thats just odd. what do they 'fail' to do?
[05:06] <scifi> ty
[05:06] <yereth> Dr_Willis: in menu.lst the line is exactly the same for the old and new kernel
[05:06] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: yeah i will reboot, but im downlaodeing ubuntu 6.06 Liev :D lol
[05:06] <yereth> well, what I pasted above
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> yereth,  the except for the change in the kernel file name. :P right?
[05:07] <christophe> slt qui peut m aider
[05:07] <qiv> hello, anyone an idea about how to make ntfs-partition writable? :)
[05:07] <yereth> Dr_Willis: yes :P
[05:07] <yereth> Dr_Willis: 16:45 < yereth> VFS: cannot open root device "HDA7" or unknown-block(0,0)
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> yereth,  and your root is on hda7 ?
[05:07] <yereth> 16:45 < yereth> please append a correct "root=" boot option
[05:07] <yereth> yes
[05:07] <yereth> 16:45 < yereth> kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[05:07] <kman> hi
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> yereth,  what file system is your root partition ?
[05:08] <yereth> ext3
[05:08] <kman> I'm a newbie nad need some help
[05:08] <sbassett516> yereth: I have been reading issues like this in the forums. Have not experienced this myself.
[05:08] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: Its got no power going to it :/
[05:08] <yereth> sbassett516: any clue about a solution?
[05:08] <scifi> Dr_Willis: i get "no write permission" to the install directory when installing armyops ^^
[05:08] <orbin> kman: welcome. ask away
[05:08] <sbassett516> Dark-Night: Even after reboot?
[05:08] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: thank you very much for your help and time :D
[05:09] <Dark-Night> sbassett516: no im on 80% on my torrent
[05:09] <yereth> Dr_Willis: ext3, in case you didn't see
[05:09] <Dr_Willis> yereth,  hmm odd.. could try one of the 686 kenels and see if it works there.. almost sounds like the thing is lacking the ext3 modules. but that would be real odd.
[05:09] <Dark-Night> sbassett516; it should work tho after a good reboot
[05:09] <stevietool> is it normal that wmv plays in shocks with mozilla plugin? Does anyone how to deal with it?
[05:09] <Dr_Willis> scifi,  tell it to install to your home dir then.
[05:09] <yereth> Dr_Willis: it would be odd.. should I install from source using apt, perhaps?
[05:09] <sbassett516> yereth: the only solution that was offered up was to modify the menu.lst file on each upgrade
[05:09] <_jason> stevietool: what plugin are you using?
[05:09] <yereth> sbassett516: modify how?
[05:09] <sbassett516> Dark-Night: No prob at all.
[05:10] <Dark-Night> sbassett516; :D
[05:10] <stevietool> _jason: mplayer plugin
[05:10] <yereth> sbassett516: I mean, the root drive is indicated correctly in menu.lst
[05:10] <kman> I installed ubuntu 5.10, and when i boot there is no interface detected (no even loopback)
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> yereth,  these are all issues with the *-k7 kernele?
[05:10] <curley_sue> sbassett516 I guess I need some more help... is there a way to create an image of the patition with the lost files?
[05:10] <ayabara> any filesystem gurus here?
[05:10] <_jason> stevietool: does it do it with all .wmv?
[05:10] <yereth> Dr_Willis: my 2 kernels:
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> yereth,  may be worth wile to post your menu.lst to pastebin. so others can look at it.
[05:10] <delcoyote> hi if trying to install easycam2 and i get an eror no module: gnome.ui is that i havent got gnome desktop installed? im on ubuntulite and icewm

[05:11] <sbassett516> curley_sue: if it is mounted it would be dd if=/mount/point of=/home/yourname/imagename.img or some such. what kind of image is it looking for? Also, this could take up a lot of room
[05:11] <kman> RESENDING: I installed ubuntu 5.10, and when i boot there is no interface detected (no even loopback)
[05:11] <Dr_Willis> hmm.. xfce4 just crashed. :) brb

[05:14] <stevietool> _jason: I think so; on this time I get even a blue screen while testing a stream
[05:14] <kman> orbin? can you help?
[05:14] <_jason> stevietool: do you get the blue screen with other file types?

[05:19] <nwonknu> mythica, its for both
[05:19] <mythica> hmm, why would it be generating that error then ?
[05:19] <kman> why cant linux work out of the box???

[05:21] <IceTox> What's the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu? :-)
[05:21] <kman> i cant run sudo because of it
[05:21] <baconbacon> xubuntu: ubuntu w/ XFCE
[05:21] <mikomiko> what is the mp3 player for ubuntu
[05:21] <baconbacon> instead of GNOME
[05:21] <Dark-Night> isent  xubuntu something to do with education?
[05:22] <baconbacon> thats edubuntu
[05:22] <Dark-Night> ah
[05:22] <orbin> mythica: you need to use -r apparently
[05:22] <nwonknu> xubuntu is just a different desktop manager?
[05:22] <orbin> mythica: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/dirman.html
[05:22] <|lostbyte|> how to make an initrd under ubuntu ?
[05:22] <onduletoncerveau> oups dsl
[05:22] <mythica> what does -r do ?
[05:22] <IceTox> Ok, and I can try this by simply apt-get install xubuntu ?
[05:22] <nwonknu> -r = recursive
[05:22] <baconbacon> yes, you can install xubuntu-desktop
[05:22] <mythica> cool ill do that
[05:22] <mythica> thanks guys
[05:22] <IceTox> and if I wanna go back I can just apt-get install ubuntu-dektop ?
[05:22] <orbin> mythica: wait a sec
[05:22] <Dark-Night> me too
[05:22] <baconbacon> doesnt work that way...
[05:22] <scifi> is XFCE meant to be a slicker/faster desktop environment ?
[05:23] <elkbuntu> IceTox, you'll have a choice when you boot up
[05:23] <mythica> another question: How do you list all harddrives & devices etc... (both mounted and unmounted)
[05:23] <IceTox> ok
[05:23] <leagris> scifi, it does
[05:23] <TheUni> mythica: sudo fdisk -l
[05:23] <IceTox> thanks elkbuntu and baconbacon
[05:23] <hollywoodb> scifi: basically... xfce is nice.  not as fully-featured as kde or gnome, but both kde and gnome apps will run fine under xfce
[05:23] <mythica> awesome thanks TheUni
[05:23] <scifi> i see, may try it sometime then
[05:24] <nwonknu> anyone know the best latest repositories aint modified any ina  while
[05:24] <scifi> so if i did try it, id just get ubuntu and then ubuntu (XCFE) in grub ?
[05:24] <sbassett516> curley_sue: don't know if this will help you out any, http://www.sleuthkit.org/autopsy/
[05:24] <mikomiko> what is the mp3 player for ubuntu
[05:25] <IceTox> mikomiko, that is xmms in usual I think
[05:25] <hollywoodb> scifi: you can install xfce alongside gnome under ubuntu... 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' then select it at login instead of gnome
[05:25] <Dark-Night> apt-get install xubuntu dosent work with me :/ lol 'Couldn't stat source package'
[05:25] <mythica> i always chuckle when i have to run "man mount"
[05:25] <Dark-Night> it dose that with loads of things
[05:25] <mythica> one of my favorites
[05:25] <qualus> lol
[05:25] <Dark-Night> ha
[05:25] <stevietool> _jason: well I got a hole bench of blue screens...it worked 10 minutes ago but ik played in shocks
[05:25] <IceTox> mikomiko, if the player isn't in the menu, you can simply download it using 'apt-get install xmms'
[05:25] <scifi> hollywoodb: ah so it wud give me the choice at login screen? ok nice
[05:25] <hollywoodb> scifi: you may end up having xfce apps in your gnome menu and vice versa, so a little menu editing may be in order
[05:26] <hollywoodb> scifi: same goes for kde (kubuntu-desktop)
[05:26] <scifi> kewl
[05:26] <qualus> what's so great about Xubuntu, compared to say Ubuntu and Kubuntu ?
[05:26] <scifi> well i was playing around with kpovmodeler (KDE) app and that runs fine under gnome :)
[05:26] <baconbacon> mainly lightweight and faster
[05:27] <hollywoodb> qualus: just a different desktop environment, xfce
[05:27] <mikomiko> have done now
[05:27] <mikomiko> how can i runt he program
[05:27] <kimrhh> hi, can one change the brown and boring bootsplash to something else ?
[05:27] <qualus> aye, knew that... hmm
[05:27] <Dark-Night-awy> ttfn
[05:28] <qualus> wonder if i can get all three environments running nicely with eachother ?
[05:28] <stevietool> _jason: it stops and plays but only with sound at the moment...I followed the steps on the wiki of restricted formats
[05:28] <qualus> already got KDE and GNOME
[05:28] <hollywoodb> qualus: xubuntu-desktop package.  should work fine
[05:28] <qualus> apt-get , right ?
[05:28] <mikael> Hi, I have problems with my keyboard; the other variant of [{ do not work <AltGr>-9 and <AltGr>-0 print 9 and 0 in all my programs instead of the parantheses? anybody got some ideas?

[05:28] <Godis> Now I have installed something "rar" in tje synaptic.. What to do now?
[05:28] <hollywoodb> qualus: yep
[05:29] <kman> RESENDING: I installed ubuntu 5.10, and when i boot there is no interface detected (not even loopback), any ideas?
[05:29] <IceTox> mikomiko, if you ran it by apt-get install, the xmms should be located in your menu under 'sound and video'
[05:30] <Godis> Swedish Chef. Do you speak Swedish?
[05:30] <qualus> hmm.. doesn't work O_o
[05:31] <ketchup> hi

[05:33] <qualus> booting synaptic now
[05:33] <mythica> but how would i make it auto mount with captive-ntfs on boot?
[05:33] <ketchup> no-one know how to map new keyboard??
[05:33] <froh> why does totem refuse to play mp3's even after i installed gstreamer0.8-mad and ran gst-register-0.8 both as root and user?
[05:33] <Godis> Im trying to play a RAR file but I dont know how to do..
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> ketchup,  clarify that question.
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> !rar
[05:34] <ubotu> [rar]  a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[05:34] <gnomefreak> froh: try using totem-xine
[05:34] <ketchup> i changed keyb to FR but doesn't want to reboot
[05:34] <Godis> I installed somthing from Synaptic but it does not work anyway..
[05:34] <DBO> Godis, you mean extract a RAR?
[05:34] <ketchup> there's a console command that updates the keyboard
[05:34] <mikomiko> I see it now in the menu but dont know how to run it, is it just by clicking it twice
[05:34] <mikomiko> or is there a command for that
[05:34] <Godis> Yes that is what I meen =D
[05:35] <ketchup> and it's something like xkbmap but i don't remember
[05:35] <DBO> mythica, are you sure its using the captive NTFS driver?
[05:35] <mythica> yup
[05:35] <froh> gnomefreak: stupid, but it does work
[05:35] <feistel> hi
[05:35] <mythica> Yeah 100% sure - how else would i be able to write to the system?
[05:35] <froh> gnomefreak: thanks
[05:35] <DBO> odd, as far as I knew captive was broke in ubuntu
[05:35] <mythica> its ntfs :p
[05:35] <feistel> I need help with udevd and USB devices
[05:36] <gnomefreak> froh: yw
[05:36] <qualus> damnit..
[05:36] <feistel> I have 2 keyboards and 2 mouse (2 PS/2 and 2 USB)
[05:36] <Godis> DBO, yes I mean extract a RAR
[05:36] <qualus> how do i enable the universe repositories ?
[05:36] <feistel> the problem is
[05:36] <ketchup> Dr_Willis ??
[05:36] <feistel> both mouse and keyboards is associate to same /dev/ file
[05:37] <gnomefreak> !universe
[05:37] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[05:37] <feistel> any suggest?
[05:37] <DBO> Godis, I believe the command is "unrar /path/to/file.rar" but you must have installed unrar first
[05:37] <kman> RESENDING: I installed ubuntu 5.10, and when i boot there is no interface detected (not even loopback), any ideas?
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> ketchup,  somthing ive never delt with..  id advise checking the forums and wiki.
[05:37] <Godis> DBO; Where can I find unrar?
[05:38] <DBO> Godis, "sudo apt-get install unrar"
[05:38] <ketchup> k
[05:38] <kuchiki>
[05:38] <kuchiki> nope
[05:38] <kuchiki> sudo apt-get install rar
[05:39] <ailean> I was looking for help with an error in evolution - Cannot get message <hex>: Input/output error - it's stopping me from getting my mail. Can anyone help?
[05:39] <Godis> DBO, What is Sudo? I am not very good at this, but I want to learn it..
[05:39] <mirak> I want to install a system with LVM so I just need /boot partition plus LVM partition, so I am wondering if there is any interest I create an extended partition
[05:39] <DBO> nope "sudo apt-get install unrar-free"
[05:40] <DBO> Godis, sudo gives you administrator rights to your machine for the one command you execute so you can do things like install software
[05:40] <DBO> it will ask for your password to verify you are who you think you are
[05:40] <morphix> unrar-free - Unarchiver for .rar files
[05:40] <morphix> if anyone EVER bothers to use apt-cache search
[05:40] <DBO> morphix, yes, thats what I used to get it...
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> !rar
[05:40] <ubotu> somebody said rar was a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[05:41] <Steff_breezy> hello, this time I have a question concerning the pager (or workspace switcher) of gnome: is there a possibility to give it transparency or at least change the grey background colour?
[05:41] <kevin1> What plugin do I need for Juk to play mp3s?  I have mp3 support in other programs, just cannot get Juk to play them.
[05:42] <HymnToLife> hey people, do you need swap on a server ?
[05:42] <DBO> Steff_breezy, if you have compiz you can, otherwise wait for dapper
[05:42] <DBO> HymnToLife, YES
[05:42] <nwonknu> ive just tried installing gstreamer0.8 and it seems to have crashed, when i try install another package nor it tells me to run dpkg --configure -a
[05:42] <Steff_breezy> DBO, compiz, whats that?
[05:42] <nwonknu> which doesnt do too much
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> HymnToLife,  512mb of swap never hurts :P
[05:43] <HymnToLife> hmmm ok, thanks
[05:43] <DBO> Steff_breezy, it always things to become transparent (like for real, none of this fake trasparency we currently have)
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> transparency - the next generation of useless eye candy. :P
[05:43] <Steff_breezy> DBO, it would be ok for me if I could just change the colour
[05:44] <Chris_Tucker> how do you change the group of a file?
[05:44] <_jason> Chris_Tucker: chgrp
[05:44] <DBO> Steff_breezy, im not much of an eye-candy type, but I dont think you can
[05:44] <Chris_Tucker> _jason, ty
[05:45] <stevietool> _jason: I got video now but the audio runs faster
[05:45] <monomaniacpat> Can anyone here tell me why my wireless card is no longer working using the same technique I succesfully used on two seperate occassions?
[05:45] <Steff_breezy> does maybe someone else know how to change the background colour of the workspace-switcher?
[05:45] <_jason> stevietool: does it happen on local media with mplayer?
[05:45] <DBO> monomaniacpat, weren't we using NDISwrapper with you?
[05:46] <stevietool> _jason: no with streaming
[05:46] <ailean> Steff_breezy, can it wait until dapper? or would you consider upgrading?
[05:46] <monomaniacpat> DBO: no.
[05:46] <simplydazed> Steff_breezy: stuff, just remove it from the panel and use ALT + arrow key to change workspaces
[05:46] <stevietool> _jason: within firefox
[05:46] <DBO> monomaniacpat, ok, my mistake, can you describe the problem better?
[05:46] <_jason> stevietool: but does it also happen on local media or _only_ with streaming?
[05:46] <monomaniacpat> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=971223#post971223 - this might do it.
[05:47] <Steff_breezy> ailean, I have just upgraded to breezy :)
[05:48] <ailean> Steff_breezy, why not upgrade to dapper (in June, if you like)?
[05:48] <ailean> Steff_breezy, it's still in testing atm
[05:49] <Steff_breezy> simplydazed, hmm, this idea is also worth thinking about, I could use the shortcuts ALT x, ALT y, ALT c to switch. Are these shortcuts maybe occupied by another function?
[05:49] <devnu112> what is the general status of pci-x graphics adapters in linux?
[05:50] <DBO> devnu112, work fine
[05:50] <devnu112> hmm
[05:50] <devnu112> must be something with mysetup then
[05:50] <devnu112> 6.06 will not load X
[05:50] <qualus> The APT Database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or something similar. Try running apt-setup and apt-get update in terminal and see if it helps to resolve the problem.
[05:50] <simplydazed> Steff_breezy: no idea, check the Keyboard shortcuts
[05:50] <qualus> i'm getting that now O_o
[05:51] <Steff_breezy> ok, Ill try this and that, thanks for your help
[05:51] <Steff_breezy> cu
[05:51] <qualus> damnit, what am i doing wrong !?
[05:51] <TheUni> what would the speed difference btw a64 and x86 builds be? i'm running the x86 for compat reasons
[05:51] <DBO> qualus, what did you do?
[05:51] <devnu112> it seems to have tried to load the Mach 64 module for my X800 GTO card heh
[05:51] <apokryphos> TheUni: significant
[05:51] <apokryphos> TheUni: what compatible reasons?
[05:51] <qualus> i tried enabling the universe and multiverse repositories according to the wiki
[05:51] <macho> is anyone use linux 64 bit
[05:51] <apokryphos> macho: yes
[05:51] <devnu112> macho: im trhing :\
[05:51] <TheUni> i understand not all packages are avail for a64
[05:52] <qualus> in adept
[05:52] <DBO> TheUni, if you have a relatively fast computer, the speed difference for a desktop environment is minimal
[05:52] <qualus> and now it won't start
[05:52] <qualus> the bugger
[05:52] <macho> apo: can u hlp me
[05:52] <apokryphos> theSamo: only flash, wmv9, really.
[05:52] <apokryphos> * TheUni
[05:52] <srs> Howdy. Probably a faq - but I just upgraded to dapper
[05:52] <TheUni> apokryphos: that was me i guess?
[05:52] <TheUni> ok
[05:52] <TheUni> mm.. i can live without those i guess
[05:52] <mumbles_laptop> ok all - how do i download th source for ubuntu ?
[05:52] <macho> i need some help in the 64 bit
[05:52] <apokryphos> TheUni: and note these *would* work on amd64 just fine, but the problem is down to debian and ubuntu's own way of handling amd64
[05:52] <srs> and murasaki replaces both hotplug and udev
[05:53] <macho> software installation
[05:53] <DBO> mumbles, "sudo apt-get install linux-tree"
[05:53] <macho> where to find
[05:53] <apokryphos> amd64s are perfectly capable of executing 32-bit libraries/apps on 64-bit installation
[05:53] <kman> RESENDING: I installed ubuntu 5.10, and when i boot there is no interface detected (not even loopback), any ideas?
[05:53] <srs> devfs is out of 2.6.15 as well
[05:53] <mumbles_laptop> i am following http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo and i keep on getting a errer
[05:53] <macho> apo: are u ther
[05:53] <mumbles_laptop> sudo apt-get install linux-tree
[05:53] <mumbles_laptop> whops
[05:53] <nwonknu> hi ive used apt-get to install a package which appeared to crash, whenever i run it again it tells me to run dpkg --configure -a which causes it to try install again and crashes again
[05:53] <nwonknu> anyone any suggestions of how i can tell it not to install it anymore so i can install other packages
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> km0ti0n,  check the wiki/forums yet?
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> oops
[05:53] <TheUni> guess i'll try a64 then
[05:53] <srs> so agpgart etc dont get loaded - there goes X
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> kman,   check the wiki/forums yet?
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> kman,   sounds almost like a bad cd burn.. or some other odd hardware issue.
[05:54] <srs> and then /var/lock/subsys/murasaki doesnt get created either
[05:54] <srs> so i manually create it at each boot, restart murasaki
[05:54] <srs> and then it picks up my ipw2200
[05:54] <mumbles_laptop> DBO,  Makefile.inc:95: *** /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH.  Stop.
[05:54] <mumbles_laptop>
[05:54] <kman> it is a genuine ubuntu cd
[05:54] <kman> setup was successful
[05:54] <TheUni> apokryphos: so if i'm installing fresh, i should use a64 over x86 ?
[05:55] <macho> the uni
[05:55] <DBO> mumbles, is that what you get when you install linux-tree?
[05:55] <macho> can u help ,e
[05:55] <mumbles_laptop> no that installs fine
[05:55] <srs> any ideas? this was an apt-get dist-upgrade (after a update-manager -d) from breezy + kde 3.5.2
[05:55] <mumbles_laptop> thats what happens when i try and install the madwifi drivers
[05:55] <TheUni> macho: why dont you just ask your question?
[05:55] <DBO> TheUni, if you are comfortable with linux, go for it, but if you might still call yourself a n00b, might be worth saving yourself the trouble
[05:55] <TheUni> heh
[05:56] <apokryphos> TheUni: for ubuntu: yes of course, unless you desperately want flash.
[05:56] <mumbles_laptop> http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo
[05:56] <kman> Dr_Willis: this is an original ubuntu CD, setup completed successfully
[05:56] <macho> i need direct interaction.
[05:56] <apokryphos> TheUni: for some other distros: absolutely no reason why you wouldn't.
[05:56] <macho> some failed to continue
[05:56] <TheUni> DBO: i'm trying to grow out of newbness. i figure trying something harder will help me learn
[05:56] <TheUni> i'm comfortable where i am now. been running ubuntu for a couple months now
[05:56] <DBO> TheUni, personally I would suggest you try installing a k7 core
[05:56] <DBO> kernel*
[05:57] <srs> i'm a jackass - should have done this on my desktop PC (which is basically throwaway and has windows as a backstop, just in case)
[05:57] <macho> i installed psi now using kpackage. the result is o . i dont know how to start it
[05:57] <srs> help, guys
[05:57] <TheUni> DBO: ok
[05:57] <timmy_> Can I ask if anyone here has any experience with dual monitors?
[05:57] <TheUni> timmy_: i'm running 2 right now.
[05:57] <monomaniacpat> DBO: here's a full transcript of what I have done: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=971266#post971266
[05:57] <timmy_> I am running an IBM R40 laptop with an ATI 7500
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> kman,  you mean by setup - that it 'installed' ?
[05:57] <timmy_> I use the generic drivers because ati doesnt' support the 7500
[05:58] <DBO> TheUni, try installing some stuff you compile from source into the /opt/ folder (so as not to overright stuff from apt)
[05:58] <Jemt> timmy_: Yes, it sucks in Ubuntu
[05:58] <mumbles_laptop> DBO,  - any ideas on what i have to do ?
[05:58] <DBO> timmy_, if you have ATI, its hard, if you have nVidia, its pie
[05:58] <timmy_> I don't have to run dual monitors, I have a 15" lcd that would be fun to have
[05:58] <TheUni> DBO: what's OPT for ?
[05:58] <srs> optional packages
[05:58] <timmy_> that's what I thought from reading the forums
[05:58] <devnu112> kinda curious about dual monitors myself, once i get X to even work. does it support seperate resolution on each monitor, and still run 3d games on one of em? (ATI card)
[05:58] <srs> stuff you can just throw in
[05:58] <qualus> !repositories
[05:58] <Jemt> timmy_: Yea, as DBO says - I got ATI and it's close to impossible :)

[05:59] <TheUni> ah, ok
[05:59] <srs> or you could stick it into /usr/local/ as well
[05:59] <timmy_> i am a linux newbi to boot
[05:59] <srs> the ubuntu debs will put stuff in /usr/bin
[05:59] <DBO> TheUni, think of it as a place to put all your extra, optional programs

[05:59] <TheUni> ok
[05:59] <mythica> were do you sewlect what starts on boot?
[05:59] <DBO> timmy_, its got better recently, but its still a little bit of a pain
[05:59] <TheUni> DBO: gotcha
[05:59] <kman> Dr_Willis: yep, install/setup you naem it. I can say that after logining in i get the followong message: "Could not look up internet address for machine. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. ..."
[06:00] <timmy_> I will keep the nvidia and ati thing in mind when I get a new laptop
[06:00] <Dark-Night-awy> bye all
[06:00] <timmy_> how are the onboard chips supported?  the Intel ones?
[06:00] <srs> onboard intel works just fine
[06:00] <Amaranth> more or less they just work
[06:00] <devnu112> oh i think i need a kernel patch for the sata 2 on my mobo too :\
[06:00] <Amaranth> might have to do a couple tweaks to get the right resolution
[06:01] <eddie_stone> how to install tcl?
[06:01] <monomaniacpat> Any ideas about my wireless anyone?
[06:01] <srs> apt-get install tcl i guess
[06:01] <srs> try that

[06:01] <kevin1> What plugin do I need for Juk to play mp3s?  I have mp3 support in other programs, just cannot get Juk to play them.
[06:01] <devnu112> is there a list somewhere of the patches that have been applied to the default kernel on the cd?
[06:01] <timmy_> thanks for the advice, glad I came here second!  I could have wasted a lot of time with this!

[06:02] <monomaniacpat> is there a way of removing multiple modules with a similar name?
[06:03] <DBO> monomaniacpat, you could try using *... but I doubt it will work
[06:03] <monomaniacpat> OK.

[06:05] <DBO> ic56, you mean notification area or just ones you pin to the panel?
[06:06] <Dr_Willis> kman,  ya could rerun the network config tools.   - ive never noticed sudo failing befor for that.  - you basicially need to just set a hostname.     i have 2 entrys for <IP_ADDRESS> ons for localhost and anotehr for the hostname.
[06:06] <ic56> DBO: I mean the mozilla and help icons (round earth and life-saver)

[06:09] <number_six> First. Sorry 4 my terrible english.
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> kman,  the menu items have them there. -   if it will let ya get to gnome that is...
[06:09] <ic56> DBO: thanks!  I notice the firefox icon in the "browse icons" pop up window is larger than the one displayed in the panel.  The reason I want to change icons is so I can get a smaller one in the panel.  Any ideas how come they're diff sizes and how to get one that's smaller still?

[06:09] <blazemonger> anyone know why my mouse cursor sometimes fades out to all black
[06:09] <blazemonger> to where i can't see it

[06:10] <Dr_Willis> kman,  type !hostname and read the bot msg. it mentions your exact problem. but not the fix. Lol
[06:10] <kman> !hostname
[06:10] <devnu112> I would save the log, but I havent gotten it to find the hard drive yet either

[06:11] <ruman> is it the module or my headers?
[06:11] <DBO> number_six, sounds like your hdd number is changing
[06:11] <whiter> okay, now anyone know what the nautilus program is called that handles/creates launchers?
[06:11] <edgardpacheco> how do i install the latest version of firefox?
[06:12] <MrPockets> so if i save siht on the desktop, but it doesnt show up unless i reboot
[06:12] <srs> guys - sorry if i missed it but any fix for that?  (udev/hotplug --> murasaki so X breaks, and murasaki doesnt startup either, no /var/lock/subsys)
[06:12] <edgardpacheco> i already installed it, and extract it, but now what do i have to do?
[06:12] <MrPockets> can i just restert X or something of the like ?
[06:12] <kman> Dr_Willis: running "hostname" or the corresponding GUI util needs root privileges.... and I cant run sudo!!
[06:12] <DBO> !tell edgardpacheco about FF1.5
[06:12] <DBO> be back in 10
[06:12] <grogoreo> hi
[06:12] <MrPockets> HEY!
[06:13] <grogoreo> I'm using PIDA but when I try to open a file, right-clicking and then 'Open with... > Pida' it just opens up PIDA as normal. Is there a way to open a file externally and the same goes for (in the CLI):   $ pida <file>   . Is there anyway to do what I want?
[06:13] <soulfreshner> where do the packages get downloaded to when I run apt-get install?
[06:13] <Dr_Willis> kman,  not sure what to tell ya there. i alwaus set root password. (shame on me)
[06:13] <srs>  /var/cache/apt/archives/
[06:13] <soulfreshner> ta srs
[06:13] <Dr_Willis> kman,  perhaps the other experts in here can tell ya how to work around that issue.
[06:14] <AnAnt> ok, another question, can the Ubuntu install/live CD be used to upgrade Breezy ?
[06:14] <eddie_stone> how do I change the local that I am (for example, Brazil)?
[06:14] <Kezlar> hello everyone
[06:14] <kman> Dr_Willis: how can i login as root? how can i set the pass?
[06:14] <number_six> hi Kezlar
[06:14] <Kezlar> hey
[06:14] <Dingledorph> A newbie Q: I have installed Bittornado via Synaptic. How do i run it?
[06:15] <ic56> kman: I'm not sure I see why sudo would have a problem.  On my system, the name for <IP_ADDRESS> in /etc/hosts is different from /etc/hostname and sudo works.
[06:15] <erUSUL> !tall kman about sudo
[06:15] <ubotu> erUSUL: Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:15] <erUSUL> !tell kman about sudo
[06:15] <Kezlar> Ubuntu, just newly got and allready a favorite ;)
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> kman,  not sure. :P thats why i suggest the others may know how to get around that. I dont know a 'trivial' way of doing it.  You could reboot to the  rescue/failsafe mode in the grub menus
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL,  but his sudo is broke. :P
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> !sudo
[06:16] <ic56> kman: did you modify your /etc/sudoers file?
[06:16] <ubotu> I guess sudo is a command that will let users run commands as root. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[06:16] <soulfreshner> so all packages that are installed on my machine should be in the apt cache?
[06:16] <blazemonger> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-6345.html this is the minor issue i'm having with ubuntu
[06:16] <shammy> when i run make install in the ndiswrapper directory, it gives me hundreds of errors like file not found, undeclared variable, ect. why would it do that?
[06:16] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: in which way it is broken?
[06:16] <kman> ic56: nope. the reason sudo doesnt work is that gethostbyname() fails
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL,  his  hostname and hosts file dont match up.
[06:17] <kman> ifconfig returns nothing!
[06:17] <ic56> kman: what's in /etc/hostname and what's in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[06:17] <Dingledorph> Can enyone help me with a newbie Q? I have installed Bittornado via Synaptic. How do i run it?
[06:17] <stevietool> _jason: no delay with local playing
[06:18] <soulfreshner> Dingledorph: you don't need to run it - AFAIK you just need to click on a torrent link
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> bbl -
[06:18] <whiter> you know when you right click your desktop and click Create Launcher, what program does that launch?
[06:18] <whiter> cause apparently im missing it...
[06:18] <erUSUL> he should edit /etc/hosts then...
[06:18] <kman> ic56, /etc/hostname="TVix", /etc/resolv.conf does not exist
[06:18] <number_six> Dingledorph,  open a terminal and type bt> TAB
[06:19] <kman> I cant modify hosts since sudo doesnt work
[06:19] <LordFalcon> Dapper is nice :D
[06:19] <LordFalcon> Feels a bit faster
[06:19] <ic56> kman: what about /etc/host.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf ?  Do these exist?
[06:19] <kman> Please note that after logining in i get the followong message: "Could not look up internet address for machine. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. ..."
[06:20] <erUSUL> kman: you can boo in single mode and edit the files
[06:20] <erUSUL> boot*
[06:20] <kman> erUSUL: [newbie question]  how can i do that? boot in single mode ..
[06:20] <erUSUL> (recovery mode in grub)
[06:21] <kman> ic56, /etc/host.conf="order hosts,bind \n multi on"
[06:21] <Dingledorph> Number_six: Sorry for my lack of Linux skills.. I just says "bt command not found"
[06:21] <ic56> kman: your /etc/host.conf looks good
[06:21] <kman> ic56, nsswitch.conf is a bit long
[06:21] <Wolvenhaven> hey, i got ubuntu finnally installed, thanks to whomever told me to use memcheck, im trying to get my wireless card recognized on the internet connections setup, i can see the card in device manager and its correct, but i cant seem to get it to be recognized as a network card
[06:22] <ic56> kman: look for the hosts line in nsswitch.conf
[06:22] <kman> ic56, "files dns"
[06:23] <number_six> Dingledorph,  type "bt" then press the TAB key. You will see the avaible bittornado commands OR open the bittornado documentation on /usr/share/doc/bittornado
[06:23] <kman> uc56, and etc/hosts="<IP_ADDRESS>.1 localhost"
[06:23] <kman> ic56, Please note that after logining in i get the followong message: "Could not look up internet address for machine. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. ..."
[06:23] <ic56> kman: ok, the two config files agree and both say that the system should look in /etc/hosts to get IP numbers from names and then fall back on DNS.
[06:23] <ic56> kman: roger on the error message, though your problem is GNOME related.
[06:23] <mythica> how do i update my "locate" command ?
[06:24] <erUSUL> mythica: updatedb
[06:24] <kman> ic56, and etc/hosts="<IP_ADDRESS>.1 localhost"
[06:24] <Caminomaster> HEllo
[06:24] <kman> ic56, shouldnt it contain the machine's name as well?
[06:24] <mythica> coo - thanks erUSUL
[06:24] <edgardpacheco> hi again
[06:25] <edgardpacheco> please, i followed the steps for installing firefox 1.5
[06:25] <erUSUL> mythica: no problem
[06:25] <edgardpacheco> but i didn't worked
[06:25] <Caminomaster> How can I rip DVD? K3b?
[06:25] <ic56> kman: mmm I noticed that earlier and thought you had made a typo.  there should be only two zeros in localhost IP number.
[06:25] <Xana> !nvidia
[06:25] <edgardpacheco> and now i can't start the normal firefox
[06:25] <ubotu> Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:25] <edgardpacheco> i can't enter to the internet
[06:25] <edgardpacheco> please can anyone help me?
[06:25] <Wolvenhaven> how do i get ubuntu to recognise my wireless network card as a connection?
[06:25] <edgardpacheco> i extracted the firefox.1.5.x.tar.gz
[06:25] <kman> ic56, oops i meant <IP_ADDRESS> (got to excited  :) )
[06:25] <edgardpacheco> and now what do i have to do?
[06:25] <Caminomaster> tell me, edgardpacheco
[06:25] <active85k> salve gente
[06:25] <lolownik> Sorry, what was the kernel option to disable ACPI ?
[06:25] <edgardpacheco> caminomaster thanks
[06:25] <erUSUL> edgardpacheco: what is the exact problem?
[06:26] <active85k> chi mi sa dire il nome del pacchetto che mi d la documentazione per i phtread ?
[06:26] <erUSUL> lolownik: acpi=off
[06:26] <edgardpacheco> I downloaded the firefox.1.5.x.tar.gz package from mozilla.com
[06:26] <ic56> kman: clarify: is the IP number in /etc/hosts valid or broken?
[06:26] <erUSUL> iirci
[06:26] <edgardpacheco> i extracted it,
[06:26] <lolownik> erUSUL, thanks
[06:26] <whiter> anyone want to do me a favor?
[06:26] <MrPockets> sure
[06:26] <erUSUL> !ask
[06:26] <ubotu> Just ask. Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise and on-topic. Information like hardware make, model and output of commands that you used pasted onto http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl is important.
[06:26] <edgardpacheco> i followed a guide that it says the instructions to install it
[06:26] <Caminomaster> tell me whiter
[06:26] <edgardpacheco> but it didn't worked
[06:26] <whiter> MrPockets you are running nautilus and gnome right?
[06:26] <whiter> well anyone that is...
[06:26] <edgardpacheco> and now any firefox is running
[06:26] <kman> ic56, ipnumber in hosts is <IP_ADDRESS> (the entire and only entry is '<IP_ADDRESS> localhost')
[06:27] <edgardpacheco> what do i have to do?
[06:27] <ic56> kman: putting additional names next to <IP_ADDRESS> in /etc/hosts is completely up to you.  The system has no requirement for it and gains no benefit from it.
[06:27] <whiter> when you right click the desktop and go to Create Launcher... can you please tell me what program that executes?
[06:27] <edgardpacheco> what do i have to do after extracting the tar package?
[06:27] <Wolvenhaven> whiter it creates shortcuts
[06:27] <whiter> Wolvenhaven i know
[06:27] <whiter> but i want to know what program it uses to do it
[06:27] <Wolvenhaven> ok
[06:27] <Wolvenhaven> oh
[06:27] <Wolvenhaven> no clue
[06:27] <ic56> kman: ok, in that case there is no reason for gethostbyname() to fail.  What's the exact sudo error message?
[06:27] <mythica> whats the best method tp uncompress a .bz2?
[06:27] <erUSUL> edgardpacheco: they worked for me (i'm now in dapper) if you follow the instruccions in the wiki it should work
[06:27] <number_six> DBO, are you there?
[06:27] <Caminomaster> Who can help me: What is better to rip DVD?
[06:28] <erUSUL> mythica: there's only one way to do it bunzip file.bz2
[06:28] <xoan> whiter: you can drag&drop any shortcut from menu to panel too
[06:28] <mythica> cool thanks
[06:28] <edgardpacheco> but what do i have to do after extracting the tar.gz package?
[06:28] <devnu112> mythica: tar jxvf <file>
[06:28] <Storkme> reiserFS versus ext3 - who would you vote for?
[06:28] <whiter> im not using gnome
[06:28] <whiter> so no
[06:28] <kman> ic56, running 'sudo' (note that even without params) i get 'sudo: unable to lookup TVix via gethostbyname()'
[06:28] <whiter> im just using nautilus...
[06:28] <devnu112> for hte bz2
[06:29] <whiter> and i need to know what program it uses to create those launchers so i can install it
[06:29] <mumbles_laptop> /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/build: No such file or directory how do i put the kernal in there ?
[06:29] <edgardpacheco> please can anyone help me? i can't enter internet
[06:29] <Wolvenhaven> how do i get my wirelesscard recognized as a connection?
[06:30] <scifi> just been doing them training missions in american  army, rather annoying :P
[06:30] <ic56> kman: ah, I see now.  There should be an entry for TVix in /etc/hosts but there isn't.  Putting it next to localhost would work, as would creating a new line with a bogus IP.  However, since you cannot run sudo, you cannot modify /etc/hosts :-).  Give me a minute.
[06:30] <erUSUL> edgardpacheco: the wiki says it clearly 'sudo tar -C /opt -x -z -v -f firefox-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz'
[06:30] <edgardpacheco> yes, but then what do i do?
[06:31] <fid> you open firefox
[06:31] <edgardpacheco> that means that when i extract i file is like i have installed it?
[06:31] <edgardpacheco> i don't have to do anything more to install the program?
[06:32] <fid> what not just sudo apt-get install mozilla
[06:32] <fid> or firefox or something
[06:32] <erUSUL> edgardpacheco: you can read english as well as i. follow the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion the next step is 'cd /opt/firefox/plugins/' and then 'sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/* .' do i need to copy the entire wiki page in the irc channel? >:(
[06:33] <edgardpacheco> sorry erusul, but see, i screwed up my firefox, i can't enter the internet!
[06:33] <edgardpacheco> :(
[06:33] <devnu112> you have other browsers
[06:33] <Storkme> or you could use opera
[06:33] <edgardpacheco> no
[06:33] <devnu112> nautilus can browse internet, no?
[06:33] <ic56> kman: I see no way around it.  You'll have to boot in recovery mode.  Here's what will happen:
[06:33] <VincentMX> is there any alternative to VMWare?
[06:34] <fid> edgard: http://ubuntuguide.org/
[06:34] <erUSUL> edgardpacheco: _*read*_ and follow the intruccions in the wiki. there is no way you could screw up firefox if you followed the intructions in the wiki
[06:34] <devnu112> VincentMX: theres a few
[06:34] <maerk> I've just tried to install kubuntu but part way through the installation of the base system, it failed, citing initrd-tools as the source of the error. Has anyone else encountered this error, and if so, is there a way to fix it?
[06:34] <VincentMX> devnu112, wich ones?
[06:34] <ic56> kman: wait a minute, have you been able to do a shutdown (System> Logout > Shutdown) ?
[06:35] <Godis> How to get and use Wine?
[06:35] <kman> ic56, yes
[06:35] <kman> ic56, i was able to run "ifconfig -a" where i see the loopback there
[06:35] <Howitzer> is it necessary to keep all the xserver-xorg-driver-* packages when you have the nvidia-glx package installed?
[06:36] <blazemonger> i found a package that gives a error
[06:36] <blazemonger> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gtk-engines-mist_0.9-4ubuntu1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libmist.so', which is also in package gtk2-engines-mist
[06:36] <blazemonger> is there a way to forcefully overwrite it
[06:37] <mythica> how do you mount a drive on boot?
[06:37] <maerk> does anyone know what to do with an initrd-tools error during installation
[06:37] <mythica> or now that i have mounted it will it be there when i reboot ?
[06:37] <VincentMX>
[06:37] <ic56> kman: interesting that shutdown bypasses sudo.  Hmmm.  Well, we can't use it and I can't think of any other way to readily by-pass security.  Heck, if I could, then the system wouldn't be very secure, now would it? :-)
[06:37] <DBO> mythica, you have to add an entry to /etc/fstab
[06:37] <mythica> i dont want to mount the drive each time kernel loads
[06:37] <ubuntulnx> who's good for a bash question?
[06:37] <devnu112> VincentMX:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine#List_of_virtual_machine_software specifically the hardware section
[06:37] <mythica> ok cool thanks
[06:37] <VincentMX> z
[06:38] <DBO> ubuntulnx, ok, what is it?
[06:38] <mythica> there is a line there atm already: /dev/hdd1 /mnt/captive-mydrive captive-ntfs defaults,noauto 0 0
[06:38] <mythica> does that mean it should be there everytime now ?
[06:38] <ubuntulnx> thx DBO!
[06:38] <kman> ic56, I rebooted to rescue mode and edited hosts....rebooted normally... and it works (sudo that is)
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> 'noauto' means dont auto-mount it
[06:38] <number_six> DBO,  where can i change the driver numberin. /etc/fstab/ and the /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[06:38] <ic56> kman: so you will system > logout> restart the computer.  Then when you see the grub prompt, hit escape.  You will be shown a menu of boot options.
[06:39] <moitio> I've got a microsoft keyboard with lots of different mulitmedia keys, some of which need seperate drivers before they even get recognised. Is there any linux software to detect it?
[06:39] <DBO> mythica, should, but you should change that last 0 to a 1
[06:39] <patrick_king> !restricted
[06:39] <ubotu> well, restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[06:39] <ic56> kman: good for you.
[06:39] <mythica> oh ok
[06:39] <mythica> thanks
[06:39] <ubuntulnx> DBO: have a file with url's + script that loops through the urls in a while loop

[06:39] <ubotu> There are a large number of Free Formats which are preferred over patent and copyright encumbered formats. They are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeFormats
[06:39] <DBO> number_six, when do you get the error?
[06:39] <mythica> what does the "pass" value actually do?
[06:39] <DBO> ubuntulnx, ok
[06:39] <kman> ic56, how do you explain the easy hack? anyone can reboot to root???? no password needed?? how is that even a-bit secure?
[06:39] <|lostbyte|> where do the installed kernel modules go ?
[06:40] <DBO> mythica, describes in what order the drives get checked for errors
[06:40] <ubuntulnx> DBO: the script reads the url and feeds them to mplayer to cap the url
[06:40] <patrick_king> why do i get this error   patrick@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.8-mad

[06:41] <mythica> trying to install this thing, but when i run make i get this error
[06:42] <mythica> make: *** [default]  Error 2
[06:42] <ubuntulnx> DBO: if i copy the expanded :mplayer "$url" -ao pcm -aofile $tmpcapfile -vc dummy -vo null on the commandline it does work
[06:42] <ic56> kman: there's no point to making the sysadmin's life hard when a screwdrive would suffice to remove a harddisk and access it directly from another system.
[06:42] <mythica> is the module the problem or my installation?

[06:42] <ubuntulnx> DBO: i dont have a clue. lost today figuring out what happens..
[06:43] <stevietool> I've installed mozilla-plugin-vlc but I get in firefox only a black screen with 'no picture', sound is ok
[06:43] <DBO> ubuntulnx, print your $url output to screen and make sure it is what you think it is
[06:43] <Wolvenhaven> is there a way ubuntu can read ntfs so i dont have to make a copy of all my documents?
[06:43] <scifi> wow just looked at the flash demo of xfce and someone adding new things to the panel at the bottem of the desktop, looked impressive
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs
[06:43] <ubotu> somebody said ntfs was the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[06:44] <edgardpacheco> hi people
[06:44] <ompaul> mythica, have you got gcc-3.4 installed?
[06:44] <try_it_over> hey, I need helpe here... how can i install the latest kde on ubuntu?
[06:44] <ic56> kman: interesting. thanks.
[06:44] <edgardpacheco> sorry that i botter you again...
[06:44] <ubuntulnx> DBO: its an ok url.. if i run mplayer directly from the commandline it works
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> Wolvenhaven,  you just mount the drives correctly
[06:44] <Wolvenhaven> thats not my question
[06:44] <edgardpacheco> what was the page for the instructions of how to install firefox1.5?
[06:44] <Wolvenhaven> im dualbooting xp and ubuntu
[06:44] <rem__> hey...i Tried to install xubuntu (XFCE4 Desktop), I have Universe, then: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop but I get a bunch of unmet dependencies ... anyone knows what the problem could be .. ?
[06:44] <DBO> ubuntulnx, yes, I am wondering if your script is botching the URL's somewhere
[06:44] <kman> ic56, so how is that so easy to jhack a linux box? why doesnt root have a pass?
[06:44] <Wolvenhaven> instead of having to manually transfer all my stuff, i want ubuntu to be able to see my windows drive, so i can access my docs and such, along with movies
[06:45] <stevietool> does someone use vlc as plugin for firefox ?
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> Wolvenhaven,  yea.. thats doable.. read the '!ntfs' message.
[06:45] <edgardpacheco> what was that page on the wikipedia that says how to install firefox 1.5?
[06:45] <xknight> hello
[06:45] <Wolvenhaven> ok
[06:45] <ubuntulnx> DBO: the url is good..
[06:45] <devnu112> arghh, no wonder my sata 2 drive doesnt work, i thought dapper was supposed to have kernel 2.6.16 :(
[06:45] <Wolvenhaven> thanks
[06:45] <gnomefreak> !ff1.5
[06:45] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[06:45] <xknight> dose ubuntu support 4138 wirelissbroadcom ?

[06:46] <kman> ic56, Thanx for your help
[06:46] <ic56> kman: you are confusing two issues.
[06:46] <try_it_over> WhY?
[06:46] <DBO> try_it_over, because its annoying
[06:46] <devnu112> try_it_over: because its annoying
[06:46] <try_it_over> PlEasE hElp!
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> try_it_over,  you are going to get ignored i imagine.
[06:47] <agis> #greece
[06:47] <try_it_over> i am annoying... what can i Do?
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> try_it_over,  could read the topics/ask in #kubuntu for one.. and the kubuntu wiki/forums for another.
[06:47] <stjepan> can I limit download rate for apt-get somehow?
[06:48] <Wolvenhaven> what software do i need to get a linksys wireless-g pci card to run on ubuntu?
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> Wolvenhaven,  depends on the chipset of the card.
[06:48] <ubuntulnx> appreciate your help DBO!
[06:48] <plutonas> I just installed ubuntu, and have the following problem: everytime I type sudo .... I get a message that there is a problem with gethostbyname() and nothing happens. What should I do?
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> !wireless
[06:48] <ubotu> from memory, wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards if it does not work out of the box https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper windows drivers
[06:48] <try_it_over> thx doctor! ;-)
[06:48] <mythica> is using make; make install bad?
[06:48] <Wolvenhaven> thanks
[06:48] <ic56> kman: when we say root has no password on ubuntu, we don't mean that you try to login as root and you are allowed in.  We mean that there is absolutely no method to gain lawful entry -- no sequence of chracters can ever form a valid password.
[06:48] <mythica> i remember someone once telling me its better to use dpkg ?
[06:48] <ic56> kman you still there?
[06:49] <mumbles_laptop> has anyone got a dlink dwl-g650+ rev a working ?
[06:49] <devnu112> mythica: from a package management standpoint it is better to use packages if they are available
[06:49] <xknight> dose ubunutu always take forever to install DVD ?
[06:49] <devnu112> but sometimes they just arent
[06:49] <kman> ic56, sure i am
[06:50] <ic56> kman: ok, I'll continue
[06:50] <number_six> bye all
[06:50] <mythica> yeah i know that devnu112
[06:50] <monomaniacpat> Hi guys, 'm trying to remove some modules...
[06:50] <DBO> ubuntulnx, you are right, your script looks just fine...  I dont get it either... I am thinking it should work...
[06:50] <mythica> but say u have a module thats unknown cant u pack it into a dpkg file ?
[06:50] <monomaniacpat> I've sudo modprobe -r
[06:51] <ic56> kman: however, having physical access to a machine opens other options to the would be attacker.  A screwdriver will open the case and allow one to take your harddisk and all its data.  That harddisk can then be read as ordinary, unprivileged media on the attacker's own computer.
[06:51] <devnu112> mythica: i would imagine so, but ive never done it
[06:51] <monomaniacpat> but if the card it's connected to is inserted it says "FATAL: Module ieee80211_crypt_r8180 is in use."
[06:51] <kman> ic56, i see
[06:51] <monomaniacpat> And if it's not, the module isn't inserted and I can't uninstall it
[06:51] <ubuntulnx> DBO: also, it does not read all of the lines in the input file.. it does not read the last line
[06:51] <holy_cow> one should note that you can encrypt your hard drive such that they can take the hd but don't have a hope in hell of reading the data
[06:51] <ic56> kman: thus, there is no point to trying to prevent gaining access to the system in software when physical access is already present.
[06:52] <holy_cow> encryption unfortunately carries the price of responsibility ... one can lock them selves out
[06:52] <kman> ic56, i see
[06:52] <DBO> ubuntulnx, I dont have the time to start playing with your script right now, but I will tonight.  So if you make a post in the forums, I will try to find it and help you once I have had the time to play with it
[06:52] <devnu112> heh
[06:53] <ubuntulnx> DBO, better to catch me on irc if you dont mind
[06:53] <monomaniacpat> How do I unmake and uninstall?
[06:53] <deb_extreme> .cl
[06:53] <DBO> ubuntu, fair is fair, can do boss
[06:53] <devnu112> mono, you really dont...
[06:54] <devnu112> find and delete every file that the 'make install' installed
[06:54] <ic56> So what's the consensus on sudo passwd root?  Should we be advising people to set a root password for backdoor repairs when sudo is broken or is it sufficient to advise people to reboot in single user mode (aka recovery mode) to gain access?
[06:54] <mgh0> Hi, can anyone reccomend a decent bittorent client? the default app is no where near as good as uTorrent for example
[06:54] <roryy> ic56: i reckon recovery mode is fine
[06:54] <monomaniacpat> devnu112: is that really a good idea - won't it leave some files?
[06:54] <ompaul> ic56, the answer is no
[06:54] <fid> whats wrong with normal bittorrent?
[06:55] <devnu112> mono, if your memory is as bad as mine, then yeah heh
[06:55] <Mh2|Ubuntu> can anyone tell me a server for aMule? tnx
[06:55] <mgh0> fid: some subscription sites do not allow its use
[06:55] <monomaniacpat> devnu112: what do you mean>
[06:55] <monomaniacpat> ?
[06:55] <devnu112> monomaniacpat: ,thats why its good to use package files when possible
[06:55] <mumbles_laptop> how do i upgrade ubuntu virsions ?
[06:55] <devnu112> so that the package manager can keep track of it
[06:55] <roryy> !upgrade
[06:55] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades .
[06:56] <roryy> if you're upgrading something earlier, ask ;)
[06:56] <roryy> ic56: maybe we can continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[06:56] <devnu112> what is going to be the final kernel version in dapper?
[06:56] <monomaniacpat> ...I see... But isn't there some way of unmaking files? something like 'clear' - I did it the other week
[06:56] <ompaul> ic56, what you do in the privacy of your own command line is your business, but we should understand the "normal state" of a machine when a user comes in here then they can get help, when something extraordinary happens then issues occur and theboth the user and helper are frustrated
[06:57] <devnu112> monomaniacpat: you mean clearing out all compiled objects in a source tree?
[06:57] <ompaul> ic56, so you propose what I view as loose loose
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> I do think the 'rescue' options of the live/install cd's  should allow fixing of more problems. :P
[06:58] <ompaul> s/loose/lose/g even
[06:58] <mumbles_laptop> ok reading the !wireless stuff it says my card should be support out of the box
[06:58] <mumbles_laptop> but i cant work out how to use it
[06:58] <devnu112> ugh, this is deperessing, apparently i hafta wait for the next version after dapper if i want to be able to use my hard drive
[06:58] <monomaniacpat> devnu112: not sure. It just returned the files to their original state prior to 'make'
[06:59] <mumbles_laptop> !update
[06:59] <ubotu> mumbles_laptop: parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:59] <devnu112> monomaniacpat: there is no automated process to reverse a 'make install' if that is what you are asking
[06:59] <monomaniacpat> What about one to reverse make though?
[06:59] <ic56> Looks like 2 votes against root password, 1 in favour.  I must agree that, since the default is no password, we, when giving support, must assume the user doesn't have a root password and would have to provide a reboot-based solution anyway.  Hmmm, maybe I'll change my vote.  I'll think about it.
[07:00] <erUSUL> monomaniacpat: make clean
[07:00] <devnu112> monomaniacpat: you are probably looking for make clean
[07:00] <mumbles_laptop> ok how do i update to lastest virsion ?
[07:01] <roryy> monomaniacpat: in future you could use 'checkinstall', which i believe does provide an uninstallation capability
[07:01] <ompaul> mumbles, for release it is 5.10 (breezy) for development it is dapper in which case go into #ubuntu+1 the dapper channel
[07:01] <erUSUL> ic56: the votes that really count are the ones of the ubuntu devs and designers. they choose sudo if you like to use a root account maybe ubuntu is not for you and you should use [insert distro here]  instead
[07:01] <monomaniacpat> roryy: how do I use checkinstall?
[07:01] <monomaniacpat> devnu112: and erUSUL, thanks
[07:02] <devnu112> why is an ATI X800 GTO detected as an unknown device? it seems like it should be pretty common...
[07:02] <lastnode> !madwifi
[07:02] <ubotu> lastnode: My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:02] <roryy> monomaniacpat: ubotu has just told you
[07:02] <monomaniacpat> that's creepy - how did you know
[07:02] <roryy> monomaniacpat: i told him to ;)
[07:02] <mumbles_laptop> ompaul,  - ok i have a dlink dwl-g650+ wireless card and have spent most th afternoon trying to get it working - then i read that it should be supported "out the box" how do i get ubuntu to reconise it ?
[07:03] <moparfan90> how do i copy a whole folder into another.. in a command
[07:04] <devnu112> cp -a <source> <destination>
[07:04] <PreZ> question - does ubuntu support resizing NTFS partitions during install?
[07:04] <DBO> PreZ, no
[07:05] <mumbles_laptop> unless someone has a better idea
[07:05] <PreZ> hum, ok.
[07:05] <mumbles_laptop> DBO,  seams knolagable
[07:05] <stjepan> the problem with slackware is that it's repository is VERY small so I switched to Ubuntu and here is the problem with ubuntu: dependency checking and apt/dpkg bloat... what do u think?
[07:05] <mumbles_laptop> any ideas ?
[07:05] <Howitzer> How can i give Root the same theme as the normal user?
[07:05] <schasi> where is the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu-server?
[07:05] <roryy> stjepan: i think this is best discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:05] <DBO> mumbles_laptop, thats a laptop card or desktop?
[07:06] <mumbles_laptop> laptop
[07:06] <devnu112> Howitzer: why are you logging in as root?
[07:06] <roryy> schasi: different default packages
[07:06] <slackgen> schasi: ubtuntu server has no x, gnome, etc. it contains nothing extra
[07:06] <Howitzer> i mean when starting up Synaptic or something
[07:06] <mumbles_laptop> pcimcia card
[07:06] <GliderMike> oh here we go, someone is going to get chastized for working in root :-)
[07:06] <Howitzer> that needs gksudo
[07:06] <GliderMike> p.s., I do all the time
[07:06] <erUSUL> !tell Howitzer about root
[07:06] <ic56> :-)
[07:06] <Howitzer> that isn't the problem -_-
[07:06] <schasi> slackgen: How comes they have nearly same size then?
[07:07] <schasi> And what does server have that normal hasnt?
[07:07] <Howitzer> i install sudo on every linux box i use -_-
[07:07] <roryy> schasi: the cd comes with things like apache that the normal install CD doesn't have
[07:07] <uein> how can I read the contents of a DVD? I mean, how can I mount that device ??
[07:07] <schasi> does it install apache by default?
[07:07] <schasi> if i use the ubu-server?
[07:07] <Bilange> is it safe to remove the package libgl1-mesa? this package seems to be broken on my installation, and I dont use openGL on this machine.
[07:07] <roryy> schasi: no. it installs the bare minimum by default
[07:07] <DBO> mumbles_laptop, do you have the pcmcia daemon running
[07:07] <mumbles_laptop> < is a newbie
[07:08] <mumbles_laptop> and dosent actally know
[07:08] <slackgen> schasi: a ubuntu server instal is just typing "server" at the install prompt. it installs a basic ubuntu system with no extra packages. you use a normal ubuntu install cd
[07:08] <erUSUL> uein: if it is not encrypted you can use afaik mount -t udf /dev/dvd /mnt/mountpointofchoice
[07:08] <DBO> mumbles_laptop, "ps -ef | grep pcmcia"
[07:08] <schasi> There is a special iso though
[07:08] <roryy> slackgen: there's also the ubuntu 'server edition', which is a little different
[07:08] <kinga> hi, i am newbie with toshiba tecra 8200 laptop, my screen is shifted few pixels right how to correct it , is there a tool or something for this ?

[07:12] <erUSUL> uein: it is a DVD-video, it is not? if not try iso9660
[07:12] <DBO> monomaniacpat, parent, it means make all parent directories required
[07:12] <rem__> man mkdir .. ?
[07:12] <bbrazil> monomaniacpat: parent, if I do mkdir -p /foo/bar and /foo doesn't exist it'll create it

[07:13] <schasi> roryy:  where does the ubuntu-server cd differ from typing "server" with a normal installcd? number of packages on the cd?
[07:13] <DBO> mumbles_laptop, see if your laptop card shows up in System -> Administration -> Networking
[07:13] <nikosgr> hi
[07:13] <nikosgr> yes it is
[07:13] <nikosgr> its the very first line

[07:14] <ubuntulnx> DBO: cracked it
[07:14] <roryy> schasi: i.e., linux-image-686 (say) vs -386
[07:14] <DBO> ubuntulnx, what was it?
[07:14] <roryy> DBO: hrm, you sure? I installed server-edition last year, and i remember being surprised at having a non -386 kernel image
[07:15] <roryy> DBO: note this is the server edition cd, not normal cd with 'server' install
[07:15] <ubuntulnx> DBO: dont not why the while loop did not get the urls
[07:15] <steffi> plz someone answer me about 6.06 LTS
[07:15] <stjepan> can I install firefox1.5 in ubuntu breezy?
[07:15] <DBO> ubuntulnx, yeah, that was why I was telling you to have it print the url's on screen, to make sure they were grabbed ok =P
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> !ff1.5
[07:15] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[07:16] <erUSUL> steffi: if it is the livecd version you will need the install version afaik

[07:16] <chrisjw> hi there, I'm still quite new
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> !root
[07:16] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[07:16] <steffi> erUSUL, help me a bit plz.. explain me
[07:16] <monomaniacpat> It doesn't look as if the output from sudo make install is going to tell me what files were actually installed, where... is there any way I can undo the installation?
[07:16] <DBO> mumbles_laptop, "sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf"
[07:16] <endy> yes yes
[07:16] <endy> :)
[07:16] <DBO> mumbles, then "sudo sysv-rc-conf"
[07:16] <schasi> Is there an ubuntu netinstall?
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> monomaniacpat,  what did you install?
[07:16] <chrisjw> what is the file attribute for allowing permission to modify a file?
[07:16] <ubuntulnx> DBO: it was grabbing the urls ok, at least on the screen maybe should have checked with hexdump
[07:17] <kinga> anybody knows how to adjust display on the laptop? (its horizontal position)

[07:17] <chrisjw> I need to change the attributes
[07:17] <slackgen> monomaniacpat: use checkinstall to make a .deb and install with  dpkg -i "package"
[07:17] <chrisjw> any ideas or suggestions?
[07:17] <B0FH> can ubuntu use a tv tuner card?
[07:17] <mumbles_laptop> mega lag lag
[07:17] <XiXaQ> Any advice? I have no operating system installed on my harddrive, so I'm running from live-cd. I need to burn the installation cd, and I only have one cd-rom drive.
[07:17] <slackgen> monomaniacpat: you simply use sudo checkinstall instead of sudo make install
[07:17] <XiXaQ> what do I do?
[07:17] <steffi> guys someine that has install 6.06 beta 2.. plz
[07:17] <XiXaQ> Is it possible to install ubuntu directly from the internet+
[07:17] <XiXaQ> ?
[07:18] <aljoshanl> how can i encode an entire dir with lame?
[07:18] <chrisjw> ffs
[07:18] <erUSUL> steffi: if the version you dl is the one you can boot from your cd rom and use without touching the hd you will need another cd.
[07:18] <monomaniacpat> slackgen: I've tried checkinstalling the drivers and it came back with an error
[07:18] <schasi> XiXaQ: How much Ram do you have?
[07:18] <chrisjw> can anyone just tell me the number
[07:18] <chrisjw> for changing the attributes to a folder
[07:18] <Tomze> B0FH: yes... but depends on what chip the card use.. try lspci
[07:18] <XiXaQ> schasi, 512MB.
[07:18] <schasi> XiXaQ: You mave be able to cope the whole cd to ram
[07:18] <schasi> Well unfortunate
[07:18] <monomaniacpat> I figured it was because I had already make installed them - ?
[07:18] <DBO> ubuntulnx, Im going to fondle your script tonight, its got me interested anyhow =P
[07:18] <steffi> erUSUL, the ubuntu page just give the LTS ..there is no another version

[07:19] <rem__> How can you make Universe active if apt update didnt do it ... (no error message in update,,)
[07:19] <schasi> I dont think so
[07:19] <ubuntulnx> DBO: ok.. maybe you can tell me how i can start the encode of capped streams when it is still capping new ones
[07:19] <mumbles> DBO then what ?
[07:19] <mythica> is it not recommended to get rid of gcc4 altogether and just stick with gcc3.4?
[07:19] <mumbles> im in runlevl config
[07:20] <DBO> ubuntulnx, yeah, modularize your scripts =)
[07:20] <immolo> XiXaQ, network install?

[07:47] <jablotronik> how to use ? No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.
[07:47] <hexaflouride> lol how do u get to a external USB HD in ubuntu gotten everything else to work ;/
[07:47] <DBO> mwh_, just modify /etc/resolv.conf to your likings
[07:47] <nemoo> ah yeah, I didnt I think
[07:48] <Das-Herrkurm> thx a lot for the help with folder permissions :D
[07:48] <xixaq> ok. Now I need to know how I can remove the PCLinuxOS cd from the drive so that I can burn the ubuntu installation cd.
[07:48] <erUSUL> DBO: nwh_ from resolv.conf *#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN *
[07:48] <mwh_> DBO, but that does only work temporarily
[07:48] <DBO> not if you make it read only =P
[07:48] <mwh_> DBO, you see dhcp pools for the information one in a while and updates /etc/resolv.conf
[07:49] <mwh_> DBO, yes your right that might be a solution
[07:49] <mwh_> DBO, but for me it looks like a bit of a hack ;) .. anyways your right
[07:50] <DBO> mwh_, meh, when I was your age, we had to walk to Unix on two hacks and a stick, and we had ot share the hacks!
[07:50] <XiXaQ> it seems as though the PC Linux OS CD needs to be in the driver as well.
[07:50] <whaley> hexaflouride, my memory is foggy on this, but in my case i had to create an entry in fstab
[07:50] <DBO> what is your case?
[07:51] <whaley> although, this is cause my usb disk came as ntfs
[07:51] <whaley> and i formatted it for ext3
[07:51] <DBO> oh nevermind, I misread, forget i said anything
[07:51] <scifi> can anyone recommend a theme for me to use for gnome ?

[07:52] <_jason> scifi: check gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org
[07:52] <mwh_> DBO, how old are you ? ;)
[07:52] <scifi> i quite like candido
[07:52] <NRG88> or where do i set it?
[07:52] <DBO> mwh_, younger than you

[07:56] <XiXaQ> jason_
[07:56] <XiXaQ> ?
[07:56] <norhted> help
[07:56] <_jason> XiXaQ: like 2x 4x 32x 52x ... ?
[07:56] <rem__> lol...I wasnt refering to u  ..
[07:56] <rem__> I'm having problems with apt ..
[07:56] <capiCrimm> how do I use 7zip(p7zip) to unzip files. I can't seem to find a man page... :\
[07:56] <XiXaQ> jason: I dont know, but according to Nero and other burning software, there is nothing wrong with the cd.
[07:57] <Plouj> how do I search for a ubuntu group on google groups?
[07:57] <Plouj> o_O
[07:57] <DBO> rem__, did you ever try apt-cache (if you answered without saying my name I missed it)
[07:57] <XiXaQ> jason, and according to the md5 sums, there is nothing wrong with the iso.
[07:57] <scifi> yeh clear-looks seems nice, so i can download tango icons and try them? (not their in default list)
[07:57] <Spliffster> is anyone here running an x console in a gnome panel ? if so ... .how?
[07:57] <DBO> scifi, yes you can, also try clearlooks 2, its nice =)
[07:57] <_jason> XiXaQ: they should be burned at no higher than 4x
[07:58] <XiXaQ> hm
[07:58] <slaterock> what's the preferred way of getting 3d acceleration on a 9000 igp in dapper?
[07:58] <_jason> capiCrimm: man 7z
[07:58] <DBO> !dapper
[07:58] <ompaul> XiXaQ, so my question is at what stage of the install does it fall over
[07:58] <Tomze> XiXaQ: try to search google for md5sum - there is a program for windows to check if your iso is okay
[07:58] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support :)
[07:59] <XiXaQ> Tomze: the iso is ij,
[07:59] <XiXaQ> \ok.
[07:59] <_jason> capiCrimm: if you install p7zip the archive manager should be able to open 7zip files after that too, may be easier
[07:59] <slaterock> anyone here an ati driver expert?
[07:59] <slaterock> or radeon?
[07:59] <Tomze> XiXaQ: did you check md5sum ?
[08:00] <XiXaQ> Tomze: third time: yes.. All of the isos have been tested.
[08:00] <Tomze> XiXaQ: sorry my friend :)
[08:00] <Wolvenhaven> ok, ive been reading all the wiki's on getting my wireless card setup and that stuff, ive also been reading the forum, im getting conflicting instructions and none of them seem to work
[08:01] <kbrooks> Wolvenhaven: beware of the forum
[08:01] <DBO> trust the wiki, the forum... is dangerous
[08:01] <slackgen> Wolvenhaven: what is wrong with your wireless card?
[08:01] <kbrooks> dbo: how come
[08:02] <Wolvenhaven> pretty much everything wants me to get an ndiswrapper, but i dont have a hardline to the computer, so i cant dl it, and i cant get it to work in xp
[08:02] <Wolvenhaven> im trying to get the drivers for ubuntu for it
[08:02] <XiXaQ> ompaul: I dont remember the exact words, but something like this: Locale is up to date. 0 installed, 0 updated, 0 removed and 0 something else. Iso-something is up to date. 0 installed, 0 updated, 0 removed and 0 something else.  EU rules
[08:03] <munzir> Hi, is there a document on who to install edgy on chroot? or there is not edgy yet?
[08:03] <scifi> ok i downloaded 32659-clearlooks-metacity-2.1.tar.gz, now how do i install  it ? :P
[08:03] <kbrooks> !easyubuntu
[08:03] <ubotu> easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ or #easyubuntu
[08:03] <MenZa> kbrooks: just asking for help in the dapper chan.
[08:03] <DBO> kbrooks, yes, Im quite aware of the dangers of tix... that was the point I was making...
[08:03] <Da_Putzler> Hi folk, has anyone succesfully shared an Internet Connection using Firestarter ???
[08:03] <Apostle^> munzir: lol i don't think you want to try after dapper, i'm sure it's as broken as possible
[08:03] <XiXaQ> ompaul: in the installer, it sais Configuring apt (I think) 25%
[08:04] <kbrooks> !edgy
[08:04] <ubotu> Edgy Eft is the next codename for Ubuntu dapper+1. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-April/000064.html
[08:04] <rem__> getting nuts here....one pc with same rep as the other one sees packages that the other one doesnt see ...!!!
[08:04] <rem__> same sources ..
[08:05] <kbrooks> i want kde. how do i get it?
[08:05] <XiXaQ> kbrooks: install kubuntu if youre able to.
[08:05] <Da_Putzler> Can someone help me with a Firestarter problem please ?
[08:05] <PuMpErNiCkLe> kbrooks: or install the 'kubuntu-desktop' package
[08:05] <kbrooks> XiXaQ: how in ubuntu?
[08:05] <munzir> kbrooks: yes I saw the announcement but can I install it on chroot now?
[08:05] <slackgen> rem__: so download it and install then take the files it downloads, burn em to a cd and install with dpkg
[08:05] <kbrooks> Da_Putzler: Ask
[08:06] <kbrooks> munzir: No. repo not open yet
[08:06] <munzir> kbrooks: aha! how can I know this?
[08:06] <XiXaQ> kbrooks: oh sorry. Dont know. I thought that was the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu.
[08:06] <Tarantulafudge> when will ubuntu officially move to initNG ?
[08:06] <rem__> I guess ill have to...the thing is that there are many packages ...  We try to be nice and help but some of us don't like to see such things on our screen.
[08:07] <Da_Putzler> but Firestarter wont share internet connectin properly... help
[08:07] <kbrooks> XiXaQ: and thanks for heeding the above
[08:07] <rem__> there is no logic in this ...
[08:07] <phrowzen> does anyone know why 'xbindkeys' seems to break my side mouse buttons on my mx510 mouse? if i use xev to see the response of hitting the 2 side mouise buttons, i get buttons 6 and 7... as soon as i launch xbindkeys which map my mouse 6 and 7 buttons, xev just shows a 'leavenotify' event...
[08:08] <XiXaQ> kbrooks: ?
[08:08] <devscott-laptop> Does anyone know of a good howto on getting linux setup so that my server account/profile will be used on my laptop when I connect to the network?
[08:09] <scifi> ok i downloaded 32659-clearlooks-metacity-2.1.tar.gz, now how do i install  it ? :P
[08:09] <XiXaQ> kbrooks: ah, thank you. I just think its odd that Ubuntu helpchannel advices me to install pc linux os instead.
[08:09] <Da_Putzler> What's the easiest way to share an internet connection ??? I tried Firestarter and it wont work, please help
[08:09] <ompaul> XiXaQ, no matter what we don't do bad language that is all, we can communicate without it
[08:10] <kbrooks> XiXaQ: ubuntu is a linux operating system
[08:10] <Tomze> XiXaQ: im not the ubuntu panel !
[08:10] <ompaul> XiXaQ, question have you tried to install it as a server and then move it to a desktop?
[08:10] <alpa> i m getting errors as: Fatal server error:could not open default font 'fixed'.. how do i use vncserver?
[08:11] <SAM_theman> how do i remove kubnunu peroid
[08:11] <XiXaQ> ompaul: I dont understand what you mean. I have one pc here.
[08:11] <edgardpacheco> how do i make a folder in /usr/local?
[08:11] <ompaul> XiXaQ, okay with the install, there is a point right at the start of the session where the install pauses
[08:11] <nalioth> edgardpacheco: you should not do anything outside of your home directory
[08:11] <acerz> hi! is it possible to install ubuntu from within windows? (like for ex a downloaded image) because i have no working boot media? any ideas?
[08:11] <devscott-laptop> edgardpacheco: sudo mkdir /usr/local/my_folder_name
[08:11] <XiXaQ> ompaul: ok?
[08:11] <edgardpacheco> i have to make that folder so i can install adobe reader
[08:11] <edgardpacheco> thanks
[08:11] <slackgen> acerz: no. some linux distros are windows-installable though
[08:12] <ompaul> XiXaQ, you can type server there, later install the gui
[08:12] <nalioth> edgardpacheco: are you installing adobe reader for all 17 dozen folks on your box?
[08:12] <acerz> slackern, ok do you know any example?
[08:12] <edgardpacheco> i don't understand what you mean :S
[08:12] <SAM_theman> how do i remove kubnunu peroid
[08:12] <nalioth> edgardpacheco: how many users use your computer?
[08:12] <aljoshanl> how can i convert all spaces into underscores with a script?
[08:12] <edgardpacheco> me only
[08:13] <SAM_theman> i did kubuntu-desktop remove
[08:13] <SAM_theman> but it just did 1 file
[08:13] <scifi> pls anyone ?
[08:13] <ompaul> XiXaQ, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulsKludge
[08:13] <acerz> slacken , ok do you know any example (distro)?
[08:13] <aljoshanl> SAM_theman: that only removes the references
[08:13] <nalioth> edgardpacheco: then installing adobe reader in your home dir will work fine
[08:13] <devscott-laptop> aljoshanl: in what language?
[08:13] <SAM_theman> how i remove everything with kde in it
[08:13] <gunpowda> hey
[08:14] <_jason> aljoshanl: in file names or in the file contents?
[08:14] <edgardpacheco> oh ok thanks!
[08:14] <gunpowda> I can write files to my ipod using the terminal after sudo su
[08:14] <edgardpacheco> i already installed it anyways
[08:14] <aljoshanl> I have a directory with files which contain spaces. I want them to be converted in underscores. Im hoping for some kind of bash command...
[08:14] <nalioth> edgardpacheco: your home directory belongs to you to do with what you like.  changing and adding things anywhere else can lead to system failures
[08:14] <gunpowda> how can I give myself the same permissions in the gui?
[08:14] <scifi> ok i downloaded 32659-clearlooks-metacity-2.1.tar.gz, now how do i install  it ? :P
[08:14] <edgardpacheco> i had to give chmod 777 permissions to the folder
[08:14] <Da_Putzler> Can someone help me to share an internet connection using Firestarter ???
[08:14] <hexaflouride> where in the filesystem do USB drives show up
[08:14] <ompaul> !tell acerz about networkinstall
[08:14] <_jason> aljoshanl: rename command would do that easily
[08:14] <devscott-laptop> edgardpacheco: you had to do that on /user/local/your_dir?
[08:14] <XiXaQ> ompaul: Ill never be able to convince my boss that ubuntu is a good alternative to windows if I have to go through all that just to install the system. Guess Ill wait a year or two and try again. Or maybe install some other linux environment. Actually, ubuntu 5.10 is the first distro I havent been able to install here. Very strange.
[08:14] <edgardpacheco> yes
[08:15] <acerz> ompaul, thank you!
[08:15] <edgardpacheco> because in the installation terminal it said "permission denied"
[08:15] <slackgen> Da_Putzler: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php
[08:15] <aljoshanl> _jason: could you post me an example? Im a bash noob
[08:15] <svendelux> anyone know how to install KDX Server? *n00b*
[08:15] <munzir> SAM_theman: good question, I don't know please tell me if someone told you
[08:15] <edgardpacheco> i gave the chmod permissions and everything worked fine...
[08:15] <devscott-laptop> edgardpacheco: that is very bad. no _anyone_ has full control over that folder
[08:15] <gunpowda> I'm using a vmware player image
[08:15] <hexaflouride> its in device manager but i cant find it anywhere else
[08:15] <edgardpacheco> but i can't find from where i start the acrobat reader
[08:15] <nalioth> edgardpacheco: changing anything outside your home folder can cause your system to fail
[08:16] <gunpowda> or is that just not possible?
[08:16] <Da_Putzler> slackgen: been there and tried it, it doesnt work for some reason... dunno why ?
[08:16] <_jason> aljoshanl: for example, rename -n 'y/ /_/' *         That will only show you what it would do.  If it looks right, then run it again without the -n
[08:16] <ompaul> XiXaQ, well I then suggest you seriously check out the hardware I have 5 different boxes here and they all work and I know others using it on other hardware
[08:16] <edgardpacheco> oh
[08:16] <edgardpacheco> where do i find the adobe reader??
[08:16] <slackgen> Da_Putzler: oh sorry. no experiance with firestarter myself
[08:16] <MenZa> !acrobat
[08:16] <ubotu> Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, MenZa
[08:16] <aljoshanl> _jason:thanks
[08:16] <ompaul> edgardpacheco, evince
[08:16] <MenZa> !adobbereader
[08:16] <ubotu> MenZa: Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[08:16] <MenZa> bah.
[08:16] <teclo> Hello. When printing to kprinter and creating a .pdf file, I only see the pictures in the .pdf file, not the text. How can I print the text too in the .pdf file ? Any ide ?
[08:16] <Steff_breezy> hi, is anyone interested in a screenshot of my desktop? (imageshack-link)
[08:16] <nalioth> edgardpacheco: i suspect you should not have done it the way you did.
[08:16] <kbrooks> !acrobatreader
[08:16] <ubotu> kbrooks: No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[08:16] <edgardpacheco> what is evince?
[08:16] <MenZa> edgardpacheco: I think it's gPDF
[08:16] <kbrooks> Steff_breezy: i am
[08:16] <Da_Putzler> thx anyhows...
[08:16] <slackgen> edgardpacheco: evince is a pdf reader
[08:16] <ompaul> edgardpacheco, a reader for PDF
[08:16] <mythica> hi guys
[08:16] <devscott-laptop> edgardpacheco: evince is acroreader ++ :)
[08:16] <Steff_breezy> kbrooks, http://img263.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bildschirmfoto2ni.jpg
[08:17] <mythica> I have mounted a drive
[08:17] <nalioth> edgardpacheco: evince or gpdf are fine PDF readers, and are included in the distro
[08:17] <gunpowda> I've also added myself to the disk group
[08:17] <kbrooks> how do I create a deskrtop background?
[08:17] <mythica> but I can't view it in the browser cos of permissions
[08:17] <daxxar> ubotu, private message?
[08:17] <ubotu> ok ;)
[08:17] <gunpowda> mythica, same kind of thing here...you should be able to view it
[08:17] <_jason> ubotu: tell daxxar about yourself
[08:17] <MenZa> Different, Steff_breezy -- nice though
[08:17] <gunpowda> but try the terminal
[08:17] <MenZa> I like your icon shades
[08:17] <edgardpacheco> oh
[08:17] <edgardpacheco> thanks
[08:17] <devscott-laptop> edgardpacheco: I believe you can do a sudo apt-get install evince if it's not install
[08:17] <MenZa> ...but your icons are massive.
[08:17] <edgardpacheco> ok
[08:18] <daxxar> Aww, sorry _jason. Why is that factoid there if you discourage its use?
[08:18] <edgardpacheco> i am now restoring the permissions that acrobat5 folder had
[08:18] <MenZa> Here's mine: http://www.menza.org/random/desk_april29_2006.png (nsfw)
[08:18] <edgardpacheco> i am giving 744 to that folder,
[08:18] <_jason> daxxar: which factoid?
[08:18] <edgardpacheco> is that ok?
[08:18] <Steff_breezy> MenZa, thanks, I just "re-desinged" it  :)
[08:18] <gimmulf__> Hi when i come back from XLOCK my mouse is gone and i only can use this terminal since i dont know how to switch windows wothout mouse and i really not want to reboot just to get my mouse working so is there sny command to get it going?
[08:18] <gimmulf__> im in gnome
[08:18] <daxxar> _jason, 'private message'. (or a bunch of others)
[08:18] <_jason> !forget private message
[08:18] <ubotu> _jason: i forgot private message
[08:18] <_jason> daxxar: ubotu has some useless stuff in him, we try to clean up when we find it
[08:19] <Flannel> to run fetchmail, do I have to move all my stuff to /etc/fetchmail? can I not have the init.d look in users home directories?
[08:19] <xknight> MenZa she's sexy
[08:19] <Steff_breezy> MenZa, the shades are within the wallpaper, the icons are not so large
[08:19] <MenZa> ah
[08:19] <daxxar> _jason, okay =)
[08:19] <MenZa> seems somewhat primitive.
[08:19] <MenZa> xknight: indeed.
[08:19] <kbrooks> Steff_breezy: how do i do that icon effect?
[08:19] <edgardpacheco> thanks !
[08:19] <edgardpacheco> i have another question.
[08:19] <MenZa> kbrooks: by drawing it on the wallpaper =)
[08:19] <edgardpacheco> i want to create a LUG here in cusco - peru
[08:20] <MenZa> Oh, I hate GIMP so hard ;\
[08:20] <edgardpacheco> in the guide it said that i had to post it on comp.os.linux.announce
[08:20] <Steff_breezy> kbrooks, its on the wallpaper done with gimp
[08:20] <edgardpacheco> i posted it,
[08:20] <daxxar> You should have some way of suggesting deletion of factoids or corrections, _jason. (On the webpage)
[08:20] <edgardpacheco> now what do i have to do?
[08:20] <kbrooks> Steff_breezy: heh
[08:20] <HymnToLife> to delete factoisds from ubotu, just type !forget fctoid
[08:20] <daxxar> _jason, like 'foo created by xyz on date (SuggestDelete, SuggestCorrection)'
[08:20] <kbrooks> daxxar: _jason doesnt own the bot
[08:20] <daxxar> Is it free-for-all? :-)
[08:21] <Steff_breezy> MenZa, yours is also nice
[08:21] <daxxar> kbrooks, s/_jason/whoever-runs-or-develops-the-bot/
[08:21] <devscott-laptop> edgardpacheco: whatever you want to do
[08:21] <Steff_breezy> kbrooks, hm?
[08:21] <gunpowda> would sudo nautilus work?
[08:21] <ompaul> _jason, a word in your shell like
[08:21] <nalioth> gunpowda: no it won't
[08:21] <nalioth> ubotu: tell gunpowda about gksudo
[08:21] <|stefan|> hi =) i've downloaded ndiswrapper-utils from packages.ubuntulinux.org and when i try to dpkg -i the package it says it's not a debian ardhive. what's wrong ? =)
[08:21] <gunpowda> thanks, I'll try that
[08:21] <edgardpacheco> ok
[08:21] <edgardpacheco> thanks!
[08:21] <edgardpacheco> bye
[08:22] <edgardpacheco> take care my good comrades
[08:22] <ompaul> edgardpacheco, hang on a sec
[08:22] <edgardpacheco> ompaul yes, don't worry
[08:22] <edgardpacheco> i am still here :)
[08:22] <iNiku> hey, anyone else have trouble with ifrename?
[08:23] <edgardpacheco> yes ompaul what is it?
[08:23] <ompaul> edgardpacheco, I am getting you a web page about lugs in peru
[08:23] <gunpowda> does ubuntu take as long to start up normally as it does in my VM?
[08:23] <Steff_breezy> MenZa, If you like desktop-girls such as on your desktop, I can give you the code of a wget-bash script, that sucks 1,5 Gig of them out of the web...  :)  (also nsfw)
[08:23] <gunpowda> if my VM didn't have saved states I'd get so impatient
[08:23] <MenZa> Steff_breezy: Oooooo
[08:23] <iNiku> it was screwing up my Cisco Aironet PCM-350
[08:23] <MenZa> Steff_breezy: send, send =D
[08:24] <ompaul> edgardpacheco, you might find this useful http://www.linux.org/groups/peru.html
[08:24] <Steff_breezy> MenZa, wait 1 sec
[08:24] <iNiku> gunpowda, breezy seems pretty slow in booting up, Moopere claims Dapper is faster.
[08:24] <iNiku> we'll see once my apt-get dist-upgrade finishes :D
[08:24] <edgardpacheco> thanks! :D ompaul
[08:25] <edgardpacheco> bye everyone
[08:25] <Steff_breezy> MenZa, I ve uploaded it, get it here: http://rapidshare.de/files/18190680/Steffis_Siterip.sh.html  , this is absolutely legal
[08:26] <kbrooks> Steff_breezy: lol
[08:26] <Steff_breezy> kbrooks, wget is very cool for sucking whole web sites... ;)
[08:26] <kbrooks> Steff_breezy: and
[08:26] <kbrooks> ?
[08:26] <teclo> Maybe is there a font missing ?
[08:27] <teclo> Do you know what fond I need to install ?
[08:27] <Steff_breezy> kbrooks, ?
[08:27] <teclo> Hello. When printing to kprinter and creating a .pdf file, I only see the pictures in the .pdf file, not the text. How can I print the text too in the .pdf file ? Perhaps am I missing some font ? Any idea ?
[08:28] <MenZa> Where does it place them, Steff_breezy?
[08:28] <MenZa> In the folder the .sh is in?
[08:28] <iNiku> teclo: sound like it, yeah
[08:29] <Steff_breezy> in the ubuntu forum there is a howto, to get a pdf-printer, should i look for the link?
[08:29] <teclo> iNiku: do you know what fond I need to install ?
[08:29] <iNiku> teclo: sorry, no idea
[08:30] <Steff_breezy> MenZa, look at the code, its easy, it makes a directory ~/siterip and place 1,5 Gig of pics there
[08:30] <usr13>  teclo: try lpr filename.pdf
[08:30] <Steff_breezy> teclo, in the ubuntu forum there is a howto, to get a pdf-printer, should i look for the link?
[08:30] <MenZa> Just executed it, Steff_breezy :)
[08:30] <MenZa> thanks
[08:30] <MenZa> I'll have fun browsing these.
[08:30] <teclo> Steff_breezy: ah taht's an idea...
[08:31] <SAM_theman> umount: only root can unmount /dev/hda from /media/cdrom0
[08:31] <SAM_theman> ?
[08:31] <gunpowda> do sudo umount...
[08:31] <SAM_theman> I am trying to mount my BF1 CD 1
[08:31] <iNiku> usr13, don't think tecol is trying to print a pdf, I think he's trying to create a pdf by printing
[08:31] <Steff_breezy> MenZa, yes, these pics are nice, the newer ones (higher numbers) get better quality
[08:31] <SAM_theman> *BF2 CD 1
[08:31] <iNiku> teclo
[08:31] <Luke> how do i rename devices made by hal?
