[09:13] <Jowi> narothepharoh, if you get no errors now type "ls" this will list the contents of the directory you just changed to. you should see your user directory listed. type "cd narothepharoh" to enter your home directory from here (notice that the forward slash is missing intentionally)
[09:13] <narothepharoh> still tring but same results
[09:14] <overclucker> narothepharoh, what does ls /home report? what folderr are in it?
[09:14] <Jowi> narothepharoh, we take it step by step. no worries.
[09:14] <darkchr0n0s> what is the result exactly narothepharoh
[09:14] <narothepharoh> a blue narothepharoh
[09:14] <darkchr0n0s> sounds good
[09:14] <Madpilot> just typing 'cd' should get you to your home directory...
[09:15] <narothepharoh> so i did cd narothepharoh
[09:15] <Jowi> Madpilot, no it won't. he's logged in with "sudo -i"
[09:15] <darkchr0n0s> no.. just type cd and press enter
[09:15] <narothepharoh> root@narothepharoh-desktop:/home/narothepharoh#
[09:15] <Jowi> darkchr0n0s, no
[09:15] <darkchr0n0s> sry sry
[09:15] <darkchr0n0s> my bad
[09:15] <Madpilot> Jowi, ah, in that case, all bets are off.
[09:15] <Jowi> narothepharoh, very good. now, to which directory did you download et?
[09:15] <overclucker> narothepharoh, ls
[09:15] <narothepharoh> home folder
[09:16] <Jowi> narothepharoh, if you type "ls" do you see it?
[09:16] <darkchr0n0s> Jowi, he want to install et or to play?
[09:16] <narothepharoh> yes
[09:16] <overclucker> heh
[09:16] <Jowi> darkchr0n0s, install (for now) :)
[09:16] <darkchr0n0s> :)
[09:16] <Jowi> narothepharoh, good. now type "./enemy" and pres [TAB]  key. do you get the full name?
[09:17] <darkchr0n0s> i sometimes think sudo should be replaced by sumo (sounds cool ;) )
[09:17] <narothepharoh> yes
[09:17] <Jowi> narothepharoh, press enter
[09:17] <xbitflux> over a thousand people and nobody knows usb 2.x ?
[09:17] <elfgoh> Hello, just wondering has any1 managed to dwnload gutsy beta desktop i386 iso and got the md5sums right?
[09:18] <scguy318> xbitflux: the question?
[09:18] <elfgoh> I have downloaded it twice and it is the same but wrong md5sum
[09:18] <scguy318> elfgoh: your router might be mangling it
[09:18] <narothepharoh> jowi it is working i learned alot thank you and darkchronos
[09:18] <scguy318> elfgoh: perhaps try some torrent?
[09:18] <Jowi> narothepharoh, the [TAB]  key you just did is called tab-completion and will work to fill in filenames/directories for you automatically. it is quite useful.
[09:19] <Jowi> narothepharoh, after installation is done type "exit" and then "et" to play
[09:19] <xbitflux> scguy318, none of my external usb 2.x drives work properly.. they read/write at less than 600 kB/sec (very very slow) cardbus/pcmcia card is usb 2.x/hub is 2.x (tried without hub) and the drives are 2.x as well
[09:19] <darkchr0n0s> et is slow game.. very slow..
[09:19] <elfgoh> scguy318: Hmm, I am nt using a router.
[09:19] <narothepharoh> I have one more to install next
[09:19] <elfgoh> scguy318: I am downloading it off a server
[09:19] <darkchr0n0s> narothepharoh, which game next?
[09:19] <overclucker> narothepharoh, narothepharoh what is it?
[09:19] <narothepharoh> armyops
[09:20] <overclucker> oops, a doublwe
[09:20] <scguy318> xbitflux: mm, dunno, lemme look
[09:20] <darkchr0n0s> i had xp on my system for quite some time for playing counter strike :(
[09:21] <overclucker> narothepharoh, source or debain package? (.deb)?
[09:21] <darkchr0n0s> these companies need to make games for linux :S
[09:21] <Jowi> darkchr0n0s, et is native linux :)
[09:21] <overclucker> darkchr0n0s, I KNO, AFTER A WHILE, I ACTUALLY STARTED GETTING WORK DONE,
[09:22] <ivx> hi, if i want to rip my dvds and have then organized like rhythm box does to my mp3s what program will do that?
[09:22] <overclucker> OOPS SORRY
[09:22] <overclucker> doh
[09:22] <Jowi> overclucker, you forgot the caps on that "doh" ;)
[09:22] <overclucker> stupid caps
[09:22] <darkchr0n0s> i know Jowi i play et at times :D, thatt's why i said it's a slow game
[09:22] <darkchr0n0s> play CS :)
[09:22] <overclucker> heh
[09:22] <Mavi222> anyone can help? :(
[09:22] <Jowi> !anyone | Mavi222
[09:22] <ubotu> Mavi222: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:22] <Grundoko> hey. how do i get wine to work
[09:23] <Jowi> Mavi222, sorry for that, you did. i just missed the question. my bad.
[09:23] <gregshallard> Has anyone delt with connecting to an sshserver that is behind 2 routers?
[09:23] <Mavi222> np..
[09:24] <Grundoko> how do i get wine to work?
[09:24] <darkchr0n0s> NotFBI !!
[09:24] <ivx> grregsshallard, why 2 routers, routers connect multiple networks together, unless you are doing something like that, turn the one off so it uses the dhcp server of the other one
[09:24] <BarryToeman> !wine | Grundoko
[09:24] <ubotu> Grundoko: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:25] <darkchr0n0s> welcome NotFBI
[09:25] <Grundoko> thanks
[09:25] <darkchr0n0s> bah...
[09:26] <ivx> gregshallard, you can't go through 2 subnet masks like that, what king of routers are they
[09:26] <darkchr0n0s> any suggestions for a longer life of a laptop bateries.. i mean the battery life
[09:26] <Jowi> Mavi222, it seems like you need to install curses
[09:26] <First|Bleh> turn down your brightness
[09:27] <trimmer> I have to say, I find very much patience in this channel.
[09:27] <Jowi> !find curses.h
[09:27] <ubotu> Found: ncurses-hexedit
[09:27] <gregshallard> ivx, I'm using my adsl modem which doubles as a router and then that connects to another router which all the computers run off.
[09:27] <darkchr0n0s> First|Bleh, i am talking about, the battery life ( like a typical bater lasts a year or 2)
[09:27] <First|Bleh> Oh
[09:27] <Mavi222> Jowi: curses? What is it?
[09:27] <First|Bleh> The more frequently you charge it the sooner it will start to go bad.
[09:28] <darkchr0n0s> First|Bleh, so i keep it on charger always ?
[09:28] <overclucker> Mavi222, you need Ncurses
[09:28] <ivx> gregshallard, yeah thats a tricky one, does your isp you ppoa or what, you need to change the modem mode to bridge mode
[09:28] <First|Bleh> Well, running it off of outlet power will save your battery, yes
[09:28] <Jowi> !info ncurses
[09:28] <ubotu> Package ncurses does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[09:29] <ivx> gregshallard, then have the router do that authentication, but your router might not be able to do it
[09:29] <darkchr0n0s> sure about that?, i have no idea about this .. and cudn't find much off the internet
[09:29] <narothepharoh> .run
[09:29] <Jowi> !info ncurses-bin
[09:29] <ubotu> ncurses-bin: Terminal-related programs and man pages. In component main, is required. Version 5.5-5ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 211 kB, installed size 464 kB
[09:29] <darkchr0n0s> !info curses.h
[09:29] <ubotu> Package curses.h does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[09:29] <darkchr0n0s> !info beryl
[09:29] <ubotu> beryl: Compositing window manager, decorator and theme support - Beryl. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1.dfsg+git20070318-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 2 kB, installed size 44 kB
[09:29] <gregshallard> ivc, the Wan type is PPPoA LLC
[09:29] <First|Bleh> darkchr0n0s: It's like any other battery. The more you discharge it, recharge it, discharge it again, etc. over time it starts holding a charge less and less.
[09:30] <ivx> gregshallard, will you router be able to do that kind of authentication?
[09:30] <Jowi> Mavi222, seems like ncurses-hexedit is the package you want. at first glance at least.
[09:30] <guest> I'm trying to backup all my /home Directory to an external HDD. before formatting so i can install ubuntu. but thing is. I can't cp thewhole/home/myuser to/myexternal/hdd
[09:30] <darkchr0n0s> alright.. thanks for that
[09:30] <guest> it gives alot of errors
[09:30] <darkchr0n0s> guest, try -r
[09:30] <gregshallard> ivx, I'm pretty sure it can.
[09:30] <darkchr0n0s> cp -r
[09:31] <ivx> gregshallard, what kind of router?
[09:31] <guest> darkchr0n0s: cp -rf /home/org /media/disk/
[09:31] <guest> i did that.
[09:31] <guest> didn't work
[09:31] <darkchr0n0s> let me  try it once
[09:31] <overclucker> guest, what errors did it say?
[09:31] <Jowi> gregshallard, useually it can. but practically it is hard to make happen. as ivx say, depends on the router(s).
[09:31] <guest> lots of these
[09:31] <guest> cp: cannot create symbolic link `/media/disk/org/.wine/dosdevices/h::': Operation not permitted
[09:31] <Grundoko> the instructions on that site didnt help
[09:32] <guest> cp: cannot create symbolic link `/media/disk/org/.irssi/scripts/autorun/topics.pl': Operation not permitted
[09:32] <guest> and these
[09:32] <Grundoko> im really new to ubuntu
[09:32] <guest> cp: cannot create symbolic link `/media/disk/org/.kde/socket-unknown-00-0f-fe-3f-59-6b.lan': Operation not permitted
[09:32] <guest> these too, alot of more too
[09:32] <gregshallard> ivx the router the computers are connected to is a DLink DI-624
[09:32] <Jowi> guest, /media/disk is not a home directory
[09:32] <doug_> ok i use Deluge-torrent and when i try start it it tries to install a blacklist blocker thn crashes i did a total remove and install same thing how i fix this
[09:32] <guest> Jowi: no im trying to copy my /home/org to /media/disk
[09:33] <overclucker> guest, can you sudo?
[09:33] <Jowi> guest, ah. cp -a is good for backup copies.
[09:33] <gregshallard> ivx, whats the command I would use? I know the external facing Ip of the router, what would me the line i use?
[09:33] <ivx> gregshallard, oh well i don't know about that, go into the web interface for you modem, change it to bridge mode, then go into router and switch the authentication to ppoa and enter passwort
[09:33] <Jowi> guest, and sudo can be used if needed.
[09:33] <overclucker> guest, what filesystem is /media/disk?
[09:33] <Mavi222> Jowi .. thanks, I try it...bye
[09:34] <ivx> gregshallard, you need to mess with router/modem, not clients
[09:34] <guest> /dev/sdb1             154G  8.5G  145G   6% /media/disk
[09:34] <guest> its my external hdd i believe
[09:34] <overclucker> guest, ntfs? fat32, ext2/3?
[09:34] <guest> yea ntfs
[09:34] <gregshallard> ivx, what would be the command  to connect if I was just connected to the modem?
[09:34] <guest> oh wait, no its fat32
[09:34] <guest> I changed it to fat32 recently so i can copy to it
[09:35] <BarryToeman> darkchr0n0s: i assume you're using a lithium-ion battery.  Their holding power can vary with temp
[09:35] <ivx> gregshallard, if is usually a web address
[09:35] <overclucker> guest, oh good idea
[09:35] <doug_> ok i use Deluge-torrent and when i try start it it tries to install a blacklist blocker thn crashes i did a total remove and install same thing how i fix this
[09:35] <Ademan_> is there a command to get your username other than echo $USER?
[09:35] <Jowi> gregshallard, you need to set up the middle-man-router to have the first router as a gateway. then you should be able to ping the first router from the client. might work, might not.
[09:35] <astro76> Ademan_, whoami, id
[09:35] <Ademan_> thanks astro76
[09:35] <darkchr0n0s> BarryToeman, i am asking about life of battery in years.. i want it to last as long as possible with decent performance..
[09:36] <overclucker> guest, does sudop cp -a work?
[09:36] <darkchr0n0s> and yes am using Li-ion
[09:36] <BarryToeman> darkchr0n0s: so am i.
[09:36] <darkchr0n0s> cp -a works fine
[09:36] <guest> overclucker: strange how it says 6% used. which means like 8gigs in my external hdd is used, but when i access it, it only have 1 picture file, not even 1mb >_< im suprised.
[09:36] <darkchr0n0s> guest, try ls -la ?
[09:36] <gregshallard> jowi, it is a possibility to connect just through the one router, how would I do that using "ssh" the options I'd have to use?
[09:36] <guest> overclucker: nop, I got big problems in this computer. I know the root password, but I can't do it in terminal
[09:37] <gregshallard> jowi, is it using -L?
[09:37] <guest> ah ok
[09:37] <guest> it has some .files in the folder >_<
[09:37] <Jowi> gregshallard, I don't understand your question. please rephrase.
[09:37] <darkchr0n0s> guest, :)
[09:37] <overclucker> guest, howe are you trying for root?
[09:37] <doug_> ok i use Deluge-torrent and when i try start it it tries to install a blacklist blocker thn crashes i did a total remove and install same thing how i fix this
[09:37] <BarryToeman> darkchr0n0s: different storage temps vary the lifespan.  higher temps increase loss of "shelf life", generally
[09:37] <guest> overclucker: for example, im in x server, I open a system manager which requires a root password, and i enter it, it work perfectly.
[09:37] <guest> overclucker: but if I open a terminal then "su" and put my passwd, it said wrong passwd
[09:38] <guest> and it isnt wrong, but i know somthing is screwed up here. not sure what
[09:38] <megsona> morning, where can i find a list of historical changes made by update manager? my system is running way slower since yesterdays kernel update (anyone else?) and i'm trying to find out what it's done.
[09:38] <notdarkyet> anyone here ever have issues where there sound will be gone out of one speaker when you reboot.  Its random when both will be working, if so how can i fix it
[09:38] <ivx> gregshallard, networking isn't easy, read this http://www.aboutdebian.com/network.htm and then you'll have a rough idea
[09:38] <overclucker> guest, su - root ?
[09:38] <guest> but thing is, i'm removing this OS asap, whever my iso ubuntu file is completed
[09:38] <darkchr0n0s> BarryToeman, i cannot do much about temp.. the place i live in is hot.. i normally keep laptop on flat surfaces.. without anything blocking the air circulation
[09:38] <guest> same doesn't work. i can't root in terminal :(
[09:38] <guest> subpar: incorrect password
[09:39] <ectospasm> guest:  su  needs the root password
[09:39] <darkchr0n0s> guest, open any terminal and type su
[09:39] <notdarkyet> ?
[09:39] <ectospasm> guest:  sudo needs your user password
[09:39] <darkchr0n0s> guest, which LIVECD are you using /
[09:39] <guest> darkchr0n0s: no i'm not in livecd anymore. I went to my system, removed the cd. and im in pclinuxos right now
[09:40] <BarryToeman> darkchr0n0s: Guidelines for prolonging Li-ion battery life: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery#Guidelines_for_prolonging_Li-ion_battery_life
[09:40] <guest> the operating that got screwed by me... I was playing on it alot, plenty of mistakes, hope i dont do those in my new ubuntu :)
[09:40] <gregshallard> thanks ivc.
[09:41] <guest> only thing now i'm worried about, is my /home/user directory, I really would love to have those files in my ubuntu you know
[09:41] <ivx> gregshallard, if you want to make it easier, just get cable, it's faster anyway
[09:41] <Ademan_> hey guys if i start a terminal with sudo gnome-terminal      and in that new terminal type id -r -u -n    shouldn't it give me my REAL username not root?
[09:41] <gregshallard> ivx**
[09:41] <darkchr0n0s> BarryToeman, sounds bad for me :(, i am in the last row, first column
[09:41] <gregshallard> ivx, money lol. I'm only 16 still at home with no income!
[09:41] <overclucker> guest, so sudo works, but you cant su?
[09:42] <BaD_CrC> whoa! when did that happen? Grand Theft Auto 1 & 2 are legally free from rockstar games?
[09:42] <BarryToeman> guest: you might be interested in making an image of your hard drive for restoration.  google: linux dd image
[09:42] <BaD_CrC> sudo su -
[09:42] <ivx> gregshallard oh lol
[09:42] <megsona> where can i find a list of historical changes made by update manager? my system is running way slower since yesterdays kernel update (anyone else?) and i'm trying to find out what it's done. thanks
[09:42] <guest> [org@hp77493783194 org] $ sudo
[09:42] <guest> sudo: must be setuid root
[09:42] <BarryToeman> guest: ...after you get it installed, setup, etc.
[09:42] <guest> I never used sudo before.. i dont know what that is
[09:42] <unimatrix9> hello there you all
[09:42] <BaD_CrC> sudo is a safe single command version of su
[09:42] <magnetron> BaD_CrC: it's NOT sudo su -  , it's sudo -s
[09:42] <gregshallard> ivx yup!
[09:43] <BaD_CrC> magnetron: shush you
[09:43] <guest> BarryToeman: yea to make my own new livecd on whatever I have upgraded right? but I guess thats not needed in ubuntu case right now, hence new 7.10 will release soon, right
[09:43] <BarryToeman> darkchr0n0s: my camera batter is 3 years old and is almost next to worthless
[09:43] <BaD_CrC> it's almost 1:00 and i'm tired
[09:43] <unimatrix9> is there an way to turn off floppy seek , at the boot of the live cd? kernel codes?
[09:43] <darkchr0n0s> When using a notebook computer running from fixed line power over extended periods, the battery should be removed[1] , and stored in a cool place so that it is not affected by the heat produced by the computer.
[09:43] <overclucker> guest, in ubuntu, is no root passwd, so root commands are issued with sudo, or gksu for gui apps
[09:43] <BaD_CrC> floppy seek is in your bios
[09:44] <unimatrix9> i know...but the livecd is searching and trying to mount something thats just not there..
[09:44] <kidbuntu> please help. my deluge wont run anymore
[09:44] <unimatrix9> i dont have an floppy drive you see...
[09:44] <unimatrix9> hehe
[09:44] <doug_> how do i find my real ip?
[09:44] <guest> overclucker: so in ubuntu people just can write "sudo command etc" then it'll make them like did that as a root?
[09:44] <magnetron> unimatrix9: you can turn it off in your bios.... turn off the floppy drive support
[09:44] <kidbuntu> tried searching the net for issues. i can't relate it with my problem
[09:44] <ivx> doug_ www.whatsmyip.org
[09:44] <magnetron> guest: yes
[09:44] <overclucker> guest, yup
[09:45] <guest> overclucker: but whats the point, like that if i make a user shell account for a friend of mine, he could install/remove stuff using sudo.
[09:45] <overclucker> guest, pawword is required ofcourse
[09:45] <unimatrix9> its truned off...but still the livecd searches something called block device fd0
[09:45] <doug_> nono ivx not that one the one for the computer not the masked
[09:45] <guest> overclucker: ah ok
[09:45] <magnetron> guest: no, because he's not a sudoer
[09:45] <BarryToeman> guest: not really a livecd, but a "clone" of your disc that you store: "One standard machine is prepared and its pristine image is saved to be restored on other machines saving efforts and simplifying procedures."
[09:45] <ivx> doug_ ifconfig then
[09:45] <overclucker> guest, there is a file called sudoers that controls that
[09:46] <guest> BarryToeman: but I dont have alot of empty cds :P and if i create an iso of my current installation disc it would been a dvd. and i can't burn to dvd.
[09:46] <magnetron> guest: you need to be on the list of sudoers to be able to sudo
[09:46] <guest> i can burn to disc tho cd-r
[09:46] <guest> magnetron: ah ic
[09:46] <g0dd3ss>  hi everyone, I have just switched from beryl to compiz-fusion, I used to get beryl to load by default at startup by usinf beryl-manager, can anybody tell me how to do this with compiz-fusion?

[09:51] <BarryToeman> g0dd3ss: i used compiz for about two hours before going back.  sorry i can't help more
[09:51] <Rageon> magnetron, what file do i edit?
[09:51] <g0dd3ss> ok d00de, thanks 8-}
[09:52] <magnetron> Rageon: don't edit any file, run gconf-editor
[09:52] <Rageon> i have... and it shows me a system tree..
[09:53] <magnetron> Rageon: /apps/gnome-btdownload/settings/max_port and min_port respectively
[09:53] <Rageon> cheers champ!
[09:54] <overclucker> that's one thing i hate about gnome, gconf-editor, reminds me of windows regisrty *shudder*
[09:54] <magnetron> !offtopic | overclucker
[09:54] <ubotu> overclucker: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:54] <overclucker> sorry
[09:55] <magnetron> overclucker: join me and the other random chatters in #ubuntu+1 please. ;) we are quite nice
[09:55] <overclucker> heh
[09:55] <overclucker> k
[09:55] <magnetron> overclucker: i meant #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:56] <hilikus> im using FF right now, is it the same to update to the beta and then to stable than to reinstall everything when the stable comes out??
[09:56] <guest> whats the executed command to check my distro in terminal?
[09:56] <_Evgen_>    ?
[09:57] <hilikus> any idea when gutsy will be released?
[09:57] <hilikus> october
[09:57] <hilikus> early?
[09:57] <hilikus> or ends
[09:57] <un_dave> how can i check what version of the nvidia driver i have installed on my system?
[09:57] <_Evgen_> Americans deers
[09:58] <magnetron> un_dave: search for packages "nvidia" in the synaptic
[09:58] <magnetron> hilikus: October 18th
[09:58] <magnetron> hilikus: -isch
[09:59] <un_dave> magnetron: yep. searched, what now ?
[09:59] <magnetron> un_dave: look for the enabled (green marked) version of nvidia-glx something
[09:59] <howlingmadhowie> hi everybody :)
[10:00] <un_dave> magnetron: oh, is it the linux-restricted one? that makes sense.
[10:00] <magnetron> un_dave: no, it's the one named "nvidia-glx"
[10:00] <un_dave> magnetron: ah, ok, i see it
[10:01] <magnetron> un_dave: look at the "installed version" field
[10:01] <un_dave> magnetron: ok, ta. i guess if everything is working well, there's no point updating it.
[10:02] <magnetron> cheers, un_dave
[10:02] <Rageon> how come bittorrent is only downloading at 35kkps? ports open.... 400seeds/400leechers?
[10:03] <magnetron> Rageon: how fast is your line?
[10:03] <Rageon> 1500/256
[10:03] <Rageon> dsl
[10:03] <hgjjjf> ivx im back
[10:03] <Rageon> usually should get 150/165 kps
[10:03] <un_dave> another question. i installed feisty fawn about a week ago, but as someone just mentioned, gutsy will be released soon. how hard is it to update to whole new versions of ubuntu? will it just come up in the updates manager... ??
[10:04] <magnetron> Rageon: it reports in kB, not kb
[10:04] <SpiderPigs> .
[10:04] <magnetron> Rageon: multiply the kB with 8 to get the kb
[10:05] <Jowi> un_dave, it should be offered automatically.
[10:05] <Rageon> it says KB
[10:05] <Rageon> its only done 11 meg in like 10 mins.. so i dont thnk its lying..
[10:05] <un_dave> Jowi: wow cool, so i just agree, and then i have the latest version?
[10:06] <Jowi> un_dave, that's the idea. :)
[10:06] <un_dave> just like installing a service pack for win xp... but not shit? :D
[10:06] <magnetron> Rageon: 1500kb is 187.5 kB
[10:06] <Rageon> ok.
[10:06] <Rageon> so how come im not getting it dude :)
[10:07] <neumind> wher i can find skin or theme for ubuntu cloack and others aplications?
[10:07] <magnetron> Rageon: mainly, you should ask your ISP. but 35kBps = 280 kbps, which isn't totally bad
[10:07] <neumind> wher i can find skin or theme for ubuntu cloack and others aplications?
[10:07] <Rageon> mate.. its NOT the line.. its BITORRENT
[10:07] <Rageon> lol
[10:08] <Rageon> line works fine
[10:08] <Rageon> if i download something in firefox 160kps
[10:08] <Rageon> in bittorrent 15kps..
[10:08] <Jowi> Rageon, depends on the seed. some seeds are quicker than others. if you get that speed no matter what seed it can be your ISP that is limiting the traffic or that your router (if you have one) is misbehaving.
[10:09] <magnetron> Rageon: you said it was downloading 35kBps = 280kbps. 280 > 160
[10:09] <Rageon> jowi.. 400 seeds.. 400 leechers..
[10:09] <un_dave> Rageon: do you have port forwarding setup?
[10:09] <Rageon> typo dude
[10:09] <Rageon> yer dave
[10:09] <Rageon> i do
[10:09] <magnetron> Rageon: gnome-bittorrent ALWAYS reports in kB
[10:09] <un_dave> Rageon: just checking. :P i gotta ask
[10:09] <Jowi> Rageon, yes but those 400 seeds might be in himalaya and you in northpole.
[10:10] <magnetron> Rageon: learn the difference
[10:10] <Rageon> it would be inlikely.
[10:10] <Rageon> was a typo magnetron, solly
[10:10] <un_dave> Jowi: dude, that'd go way fast. packets go faster downhill right?
[10:11] <Jowi> un_dave, doh, didn't think of that. ;)
[10:11] <Rageon> any other suggestions.. ? im pretty sure my odds are better then 5 to 400 for being in the northpole..
[10:11] <kesara> how  can i enable pango for epiphany?
[10:11] <hvontres|home> Hello. Are there Any OpenEmbedded users here? I was wondering if anybody has any experience with OE under Gutsy.
[10:11] <un_dave> Rageon: send me a link to the torrent if you want, i'll see what speed i get
[10:11] <Rageon> 1 sec
[10:11] <theory_> Any Konversation chat client users in here?
[10:12] <magnetron> theory_: try in #kubuntu
[10:12] <theory_> magnetron: No luck in there.
[10:12] <magnetron> theory_: i guess America is at sleep...
[10:12] <Rageon> http://www.mininova.org/get/914179
[10:13] <Rageon> for my gf not for me :)
[10:13] <un_dave> Rageon: lol, sure. :P
[10:13] <Rageon> kekeke
[10:14] <un_dave> Rageon: ok, i get a lot of seeds and leachers.
[10:14] <magnetron> Rageon: whatever the problem is, it has nothing to do with the gnome bittorrent client
[10:14] <magnetron> Rageon: check your router
[10:14] <un_dave> Rageon: and it's just hit 200kBytes/sec and still speeding up.
[10:15] <un_dave> Rageon: so no problem with the torrent
[10:15] <magnetron> Rageon: check that minport < maxport in your gconf-editor
[10:15] <Rageon> did dude
[10:16] <doug1212> ivx back
[10:16] <DroNix> hi, when is gibbon going to be released?
[10:17] <magnetron> DroNix: october 18th-isch
[10:18] <DroNix> ah, ok thx
[10:18] <Rageon> it goes up to 45 kps then drops...
[10:18] <Rageon> how many users/cap upload rate should be?
[10:18] <Rageon> for 1500/128 adsl
[10:18] <un_dave> Rageon: you dont have your upstream limited do you?
[10:18] <magnetron> Rageon: it should be disable
[10:18] <_MattB> how can i have apt-get stop looking for the cd on install (ubuntu server) ?
[10:18] <Rageon> so i dont upload at all?
[10:19] <un_dave> yeah.
[10:19] <magnetron> Rageon: it the capping is disabled, you will upload maximally
[10:19] <un_dave> or really slow.
[10:19] <Rageon> currently im on capuploads 5 users .. and cap upload rate 6.00 KB/s
[10:19] <magnetron> Rageon: try increasing it
[10:19] <un_dave> Rageon: turn off that, or increase it
[10:20] <Rageon> 7 k upload = 150 k tho ;s
[10:20] <Rageon> thats what it was in windows
[10:20] <magnetron> Rageon: un check the checkbox though
[10:20] <un_dave> Rageon: other clients will give more data to clients which give some back
[10:20] <Rageon> but it will choke up my upload and i wont get any download
[10:20] <vvd> hmm, i limit to 30k and get 700k down, always
[10:20] <magnetron> Rageon: no 7kB = 56 kb
[10:21] <Rageon> koz see now im uploadin 20kbs.. and downloaidn 14kbs
[10:21] <vvd> i dont think bittorrent honors upload speed
[10:21] <magnetron> vvd: depends on the tracker
[10:21] <vvd> its better to cap upload for download on dsl
[10:21] <Rageon> rofl dudes..
[10:21] <magnetron> vvd: no
[10:21] <Rageon> i tried what u said but my upload became 25.. and my download 12kbs and ropping
[10:21] <Rageon> dropping*
[10:22] <magnetron> Rageon: Wait a minute
[10:22] <neumind> how install screenlet?
[10:22] <vvd> Rageon: get dsl with more bandwidth :)
[10:22] <Rageon> ...
[10:22] <vvd> like dsl 6000
[10:23] <Rageon> get a clue!
[10:23] <vvd> thats my hot tip
[10:23] <neumind> how install screenlet?
[10:23] <guest> mage__: whats your desktop manager? :p
[10:23] <magnetron> Rageon: how far are you from your base station?
[10:23] <un_dave> vvd: lol
[10:23] <Rageon> lol its literally across the road
[10:23] <Rageon> mate it ISNT the line
[10:23] <megsona> where can i find a list of historical changes made by update manager? my system is running way slower since yesterdays kernel update, (anyone else?) and i'm trying to find out what it's done. thanks
[10:23] <un_dave> i have dsl 24000 :P
[10:23] <Rageon> i can download in firefox 150 +
[10:23] <Rageon> it is bittorrent somehow
[10:24] <Rageon> and ive been downloading in bittorrent in windows for year off this line.. so its not the line lol
[10:24] <Chascon> hi
[10:24] <Jowi> Rageon, to much traffic on the road inbetween your house and basestation. ;)
[10:24] <un_dave> Rageon: try another torrent?
[10:24] <magnetron> Rageon: what router are you useing?
[10:24] <un_dave> please dont say dlink
[10:24] <n3tfury> un_dave: lol
[10:24] <Chascon> I just tried uing the fiesty live cd and I got a "your cpu does not support long mode" onto a MacBook Pro.  The alternative CD also failed.  Both were 64 bit AMD builds.
[10:24] <Jowi> Rageon, I think magnetron is correct in his calculations though. i think you're maxed out on your download speed.
[10:24] <Rageon> netgear.. but as i said.. it works in windows.. why would it have to do with the line/router
[10:24] <rynoon> megsona, I believe you can find them in /var/log/apt/term.log
[10:25] <un_dave> Rageon: idea. what network card do you have?
[10:25] <Rageon> Jowi if that were true it would be 39.89 all the time or close to it.. not jumping between 45 and 12 kbs
[10:25] <magnetron> Rageon: did you try THE SAME TORRENT in windows?
[10:25] <neumind> how install screenlet?
[10:26] <Rageon> i cant install windows atm.
[10:26] <magnetron> !repeat | neumind
[10:26] <Rageon> lost my cd key
[10:26] <un_dave> Chascon: macbook pro isnt an AMD is it?
[10:26] <ubotu> neumind: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:26] <Chascon> yest it is
[10:26] <neumind> i need installl system stats screenlet.. but i dont know how
[10:26] <Rageon> and i cant even try another torrent.. for somereason wont let me download 2 at the same time
[10:26] <Chascon> it's just branded Intel
[10:27] <un_dave> Chascon: you have an AMD processor branded intel ?
[10:27] <Rageon> lol
[10:27] <un_dave> Rageon: what is your network card ?
[10:27] <magnetron> Rageon: you CAN download 2 files at time... just double click the second .torrent file!
[10:27] <Rageon> un_dave i can download 150kb/s in firefox why is it relivant? ;s
[10:28] <Rageon> magnetron, 1 sec ill tell u the error it gives me when i try
[10:28] <un_dave> Chascon: i'd put that laptop on ebay quick smart... there's not too many of those around i dont think.
[10:28] <Chascon> yeah, would of wanted that way anyway considering AMDs incorporate risc concepts more so than intel
[10:28] <n3tfury> Rageon: utorrent + wine ftw
[10:28] <MenZa> Rageon: Try out Deluge; it's kinda like Torrent, but for Linux.
[10:28] <MenZa> It's pretty damn good.
[10:29] <un_dave> Rageon: i've just had major issues with a realtek nic causing net speed issues, mainly with samba
[10:29] <megsona> rynoon: thanks, found it in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ now to work out what's going on...
[10:29] <Rageon> Couldnt Listen.. Address Already in use.
[10:29] <darkchr0n0s> MenZa, azureus is also good.. but java based :)
[10:29] <Rageon> magnetron, ^^
[10:29] <ZeuGiRDoR> I've a Pinnacle PCTV card and I've tried it with tvtime, the image is good but the sounds looks like interferences
[10:29] <darkchr0n0s> :( *
[10:29] <ZeuGiRDoR> what's wrong?
[10:29] <un_dave> Rageon: a driver update fixed it
[10:29] <vvd> rtorrent ftw! :)
[10:29] <magnetron> Rageon: how many ports did you enable?
[10:29] <MenZa> darkchr0n0s: Yeah; I don't like Azureus much.
[10:29] <Rageon> un_dave was that specificly speed rate with torrents only or speed rate in general...
[10:29] <un_dave> Chascon: if you've got the non-amd version around, please give it a try
[10:29] <Rageon> 1..
[10:30] <darkchr0n0s> MenZa, what do you suggest then ?
[10:30] <magnetron> Rageon: enable ~100
[10:30] <MenZa> darkchr0n0s: Deluge.
[10:30] <Chascon> k
[10:30] <Rageon> but then i have to forward 100...
[10:30] <MenZa> !info deluge-torrent | darkchr0n0s
[10:30] <Chascon> I'll have to dl it
[10:30] <ubotu> darkchr0n0s: Package deluge-torrent does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[10:30] <MenZa> hmm
[10:30] <darkchr0n0s> :P
[10:30] <magnetron> Rageon: tell your router to forward an interwall
[10:30] <un_dave> Rageon:  it was only with samba that i notice it
[10:30] <MenZa> darkchr0n0s: it's on their website; http://deluge-torrent.org - they have feisty packages.
[10:30] <Rageon> once again didnt need to forward anymore then 1 port in windows bittorrent.
[10:30] <darkchr0n0s> MenZa, i am there
[10:30] <un_dave> but i wasn't torrenting much at that stage
[10:31] <Jowi> Rageon, open gconf-editor. set /apps/gnome-btdownload/settings/max_port to 6889
[10:31] <MenZa> darkchr0n0s: :)
[10:31] <Chascon> I should clarify that the core duos use the AMD instruction set, so rebranding may be a stretch
[10:31] <magnetron> Rageon: enable more ports or get stuck at crappy speed... you don't seem to want to hear the solution
[10:31] <un_dave> Jowi: thats a standard port. you should pick a random one
[10:31] <Rageon> lol... not when its not rational
[10:32] <Rageon> why would ubuntu need to use more ports then windows..
[10:32] <magnetron> Rageon: it IS rational, or i wouldn't have told it
[10:32] <Jowi> un_dave, that's the max port. 6881 is the min port. it will use all inbetween :)
[10:32] <un_dave> Jowi: some isps will block standard bittorrent ports
[10:32] <un_dave> Jowi: why would you need more than one port :S
[10:32] <Jowi> un_dave, he said he had good connection/speed in windows so that is probably not the problem :)
[10:32] <Rageon> i mean its the same client.. bittorrent.. just on different platforms.
[10:32] <magnetron> !attitude | Rageon
[10:32] <un_dave> Jowi: ya.
[10:32] <ubotu> Rageon: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[10:33] <Rageon> ? im trying to understand ?
[10:33] <darkchr0n0s> MenZa, any idea about this.. i have a torrent unfinished on my windows hdd.. and i want to complete it using linux.. i mean can i continue torrent using some other client... i was using utorrent on windows
[10:33] <nrdb> with the LiveCD when is the unionfs started ?  I have looked in the initrd file but cant find it there, or in the init.d scripts once its booted
[10:33] <magnetron> Rageon: i have no time explaining WHY and WHY and WHY this will solve your problem.... so good luck if you don't want my helo
[10:33] <Rageon> if you say theres a flaw in ubuntu that requires you to setup 100 ports instead of the standard 1 then i might understand
[10:34] <Phydoux> Is there a way to recover directories and files with complete file names? Photorec recovers the files but they are all renamed and not in their proper folders.
[10:34] <MenZa> darkchr0n0s: Humm, I don't think so
[10:34] <darkchr0n0s> Phydoux, the files were deleted from which filesystem ?
[10:34] <diazepam> hi all anyone here recommend an app that will let me convert full DVD's to 700Mb xvids?
[10:34] <darkchr0n0s> MenZa, k :(
[10:34] <magnetron> Rageon: no flaw... maybe that you don't want to listen. try my fix or stop asking me for help
[10:35] <darkchr0n0s> magnetron, on fire ;)
[10:35] <un_dave> Chascon: do mac core 2 duos really use an amd instruction set???!?
[10:35] <Phydoux> No. I think the MBR got jazzed up
[10:35] <Jowi> Rageon, using only 1 port will get you slow speeds.
[10:35] <un_dave> Jowi: no it wont ?
[10:35] <Rageon> i know i keep saying this, i dont rate windows but.. in windows "bittorrent" i only used 1 port.. and got max speeds?
[10:35] <Jowi> Rageon, bittorrent is quite dynamic in its connections.
[10:35] <Phydoux> darkchr0n0s, Actually what happened is I installed Windows Server 2003 on a seperate HD and it repartitioned my ext3 HD
[10:36] <vvd> Rageon: maybe in windows you were lucky and had a fast seed on that port
[10:36] <jonathan_> somebody know how to install file.bin??
[10:36] <Rageon> vvd, for 5 years?
[10:36] <Jowi> un_dave, I get crap speed until i set a port range
[10:36] <guest> jonathaN: ./file.bin
[10:36] <Rageon> i must have good luck lol
[10:36] <jonathan_> ok
[10:36] <vvd> Rageon: hmm :>
[10:36] <un_dave> Jowi, i happily get better that 1mByte/s using just one port
[10:36] <un_dave> Jowi: using Azureus on ubuntu
[10:37] <Jowi> un_dave, that's lucky :)
[10:37] <Rageon> this is why im frustrated.. been using it forever.. same client different OS.. forwarded ports.. it should work the same..
[10:37] <magnetron> Rageon: your router should support a range of ports.
[10:37] <vvd> Rageon: do you have other clients on that router? if not, try forwarding all ports and see if it helps :>
[10:37] <un_dave> Jowi: hey... i wonder what i'll get if i do a range?!?
[10:38] <magnetron> Rageon: it's not the same client... it's the same protocol
[10:38] <Rageon> yer but vvd.. forwarding all ports.. "or a 100 for that matter" completlely destroys the purpose of the router...
[10:38] <Jowi> un_dave, try and find out :)
[10:38] <un_dave> um. azureus only lets you specify one port? :S
[10:38] <vvd> Rageon: that is?
[10:38] <magnetron> Rageon: forwarding a range of ports is standard practice
[10:38] <Rageon> omg ure right magnetron i was tripping hard.
[10:38] <Phydoux> darkchr0n0s, any ideas?
[10:38] <Rageon> no sarcasm..
[10:38] <Rageon> ive been using uTorrent for years not crappy bittorrent

[10:44] <un_dave> damianl: just do 'man losetup'
[10:45] <damianl> cool thx
[10:45] <damianl> do you know the difference between an iso and mdf file?

[10:53] <un_dave> K-4U: try starting a thread about it in the forums. more people will read it there
[10:53] <K-4U> Just another question. what media player do you use?
[10:53] <damianl> un_dave which forums? the beryl site is down
[10:53] <K-4U> un_dave: Yeah, i think i'll better do that
[10:53] <K-4U> damian1: www.ubuntuforums.org
[10:53] <un_dave> http://ubuntuforums.org/
[10:53] <damianl> oh ok:)
[10:54] <un_dave> vlc/mplayer
[10:54] <K-4U> works for mp3 as well?
[10:54] <un_dave> K-4U: yep
[10:54] <un_dave> K-4U: but i'm very new to linux, so dont take my word for it
[10:54] <K-4U> i'm looking for something that can replace winamp(and no, i do not want to use xmmp). i really need the media library
[10:54] <K-4U> un_dave: Okay:p
[10:55] <damianl> K-4U tried wine?
[10:55] <damianl> i just use winamp
[10:55] <K-4U> damian1: Yeah, but then no sound;)
[10:55] <un_dave> K-4U: rhythumbox seems to be a fantastic media library
[10:55] <K-4U> damian1: i'll try once more;)
[10:55] <tarmo> h264 codec for ubuntu ?
[10:55] <K-4U> un_daveL okay, lets see
[10:55] <un_dave> K-4U: that's what i use for music
[10:55] <K-4U> still nobody here who has an answer for my previous question?:p
[10:55] <damianl> K-4U: have you tried the winecfg dialog or winamps output plugins dialog to fix that
[10:56] <K-4U> damian1: No. not yet. going to right now;)
[10:56] <K-4U> I'm having trouble with Beryl.. The cube won't work. it worked perfectly. but then i disabled it, then enabling again. and now the cube wont respond
[10:56] <K-4U> (just asking again)
[10:57] <un_dave> tarmo: have you installed all the codec packages?
[10:57] <darkchr0n0s> i think amarok with mp3 support is the best thing that happened to music in linux
[10:58] <K-4U> darkchr0n0s: Yeah, but it keeps 'not responding'  every time...
[10:58] <darkchr0n0s> oh..

[10:58] <K-4U> I'm having trouble with Beryl.. The cube won't work. it worked perfectly. but then i disabled it, then enabling again. and now the cube wont respond
[10:58] <darkchr0n0s> K-4U, ask that in #compiz-fusion channel
[10:58] <un_dave> amarok > Rhythumbox ??
[10:59] <K-4U> Darkchr0n0s: It's beryl. not compiz
[10:59] <un_dave> K-4U: i think they'
[10:59] <darkchr0n0s> same thing, try joining #beryl
[10:59] <un_dave> re pretty closely related
[10:59] <K-4U> okay, thnx. let's see
[10:59] <darkchr0n0s> you will be redirected to #compiz-fusion
[11:00] <darkchr0n0s> actually forks
[11:00] <darkchr0n0s> then rejoined
[11:00] <darkchr0n0s> something like that
[11:00] <MenZa> Beryl was forked from Compiz, then they re-united a few months back.
[11:01] <darkchr0n0s> K-4U, see, this is confirmed now ;)
[11:01] <K-4U> darkchr0n0s, okay. thnx:p
[11:01] <darkchr0n0s> kernel upgrade kinda screwed up my installation :S

[11:02] <bullgard4> Ubuntu 7.04 provides a 'tty' group. But on my computer tty has no members. Is the tty group an outdated concept?
[11:04] <revilodraw> what is the default bluetooth password on ubuntu? or how do i set it?
[11:04] <timothywcrane> tired of using bios for boot . drive not detected. grub can grab it, nonsys disk etc.. bios detects it though
[11:05] <timothywcrane> have to enter bios every startup
[11:05] <tomek154> hi, i chowned root:root /usr and /etc, sudo stopped working, but i fixed it, now i have one problem screen saver works only on main user, on other accounts gnome-screensaver doesn't start automatically, when i start it manually is ok
[11:05] <Gjjh> Typing from my newly restored iphone
[11:06] <timothywcrane> the install utility from Maxtor is windows only. Icant even install win$ w/o bootable cd of utility, but must have win$ to create it
[11:07] <timothywcrane> guess Il go on a wine excursion. wish me luck
[11:08] <un_dave> timothywcrane: good luck
[11:08] <revilodraw> what is the default ubuntu bluetooth pin
[11:09] <damianl> in synaptic, whats the dirrerence between "mark for removal" and "mark for complete removal"
[11:09] <tomek154> complete removal deletes configuration files
[11:09] <timothywcrane> can I rip win API files off of install disk, or do I need an installation. Don think ree files"will cut it?
[11:09] <un_dave> damianl: i think complete removal will try get user settings too
[11:10] <damianl> un_dave damn i should have just done that then
[11:10] <jonathan_> hm
[11:10] <damianl> (reinstalling beryl)
[11:10] <jonathan_> I can't install GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[11:10] <timothywcrane> complete removal removes all log files and config files as well as the actual program.
[11:10] <jonathan_> how?
[11:10] <damianl> jonathan_ what error?
[11:11] <jonathan_> bash: /home/joje/Desktop/GoogleEarthLinux.bin: Permission denied
[11:11] <MenZa> jonathan_: Before you install it...
[11:11] <timothywcrane> if you are removing for good, it saves space. If you will reinstall it, save your files
[11:11] <damianl> "sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin"
[11:11] <MenZa> jonathan_: Can I recommend you download it from a repository?
[11:11] <timothywcrane> with simple remove command
[11:11] <damianl> jonathan_ make sure you have set read access
[11:11] <jonathan_> how?
[11:11] <MenZa> chmod +x is what you want, jonathan_, but wait a second
[11:11] <K-4U> aargh, my numpad doen't work anymore?
[11:12] <MenZa> !medibuntu | jonathan_
[11:12] <ubotu> jonathan_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[11:12] <MenZa> jonathan_: add that repository, then sudo aptitude install googleearth
[11:12] <damianl> timothywcrane thx, config files are the ones i need to remove
[11:12] <gordonjcp> hm
[11:12] <MenZa> morning gordonjcp
[11:13] <jonathan_> why it seems hard to install bin packages
[11:13] <MenZa> it isn't, jonathan_
[11:13] <jonathan_> only using ./file.bin
[11:13] <bakaniko> Hello everybody
[11:13] <jonathan_> but the permission is denied
[11:13] <MenZa> but if you install it with a package manager, it will be easier to remove and stuff
[11:13] <un_dave> bakaniko: Hello
[11:13] <MenZa> jonathan_: chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin will do it, but I still suggest looking at http://medibuntu.org first
[11:13] <damianl> jonathan_ so set the permissions, its simple
[11:13] <revilodraw> how do i find my bluetooth pin??
[11:13] <jonathan_> sudo ./file.bin?
[11:13] <un_dave> revilodraw:  0000 ?
[11:13] <MenZa> jonathan_: no
[11:14] <MenZa> jonathan_: chmod +x file.bin
[11:14] <MenZa> jonathan_: that allows it to be executed
[11:14] <MenZa> jonathan_: then sudo ./file.bin
[11:14] <damianl> jonathan_ i suggest you use windows :)
[11:14] <MenZa> damianl: Why would he?
[11:14] <revilodraw> un_dave: apparently not
[11:14] <jonathan_> oh
[11:14] <un_dave> revilodraw: was worth a try :P
[11:14] <jonathan_> somehow...
[11:14] <jonathan_> I did it
[11:14] <jonathan_> :)
[11:15] <jonathan_> pretty easy I guess
[11:15] <damianl> MenZa linux isnt for everyone you need some sort of brain capacity
[11:15] <MenZa> Yes.
[11:15] <MenZa> damianl: Linux is for anyone who will bother learning how to use their OS. Any beginning is difficult.
[11:15] <timothywcrane> no need to install bins, just donload and execute. Think of bins as exe.s
[11:15] <Emash> linux does not require increadible high order thinking
[11:16] <damianl> id disagree there
[11:16] <jonathan_> damianl: everybody will get difficult if using this thing for the first time
[11:16] <timothywcrane> don be so hard on the guy, this isn slackware chat

[11:42] <nanbudh> gumby: how should i go about it? i wish to convert the official online djangobook chapters into a single pdf file.
[11:43] <cezart> has anyone compiled via unichrome9 drivers on ubuntu ?
[11:43] <Gumby> nanbudh: Ive never done it so I am not entirely sure but a start would be to open the html file(s) with openoffice and try to save as or export to pdf
[11:44] <Everheart> gumby, I did that, but it seems not to be the right one, because I can't set my resolution higher than 1024x768
[11:44] <lauriexxx_> nrdb: all you need to do is edit your source list, ad the deb, and then good old apt-get, cool, it works
[11:44] <nanbudh> i tried that, but the problem is that the hidden layers of comments all open up in the document and it gets all messy
[11:44] <timothywcrane> just use html export to pdf on writer in OO
[11:44] <administrador> hola alguien habla espaol?

[11:53] <cobra_> :)
[11:53] <nix> not much traffic today..
[11:53] <cobra_> got a few problems with my dockingstation but nothing i cant solve :)
[11:54] <nix> sure... linux no revolution. its an evolution!
[11:54] <xiaujuin> cw_metalbrutal_galaw
[11:55] <yu2> it is better to support available software rather than having new distro

[11:57] <Crozar> i think i have discovered a new problem for laptop old dev bios problem for firmware maybe on CD-R ( RW ) Drives.  i tried about 3 CDRW's and 1 CD-R and it just doesnt work with 3 diffrent programs in the end the cd's are empty and the CD-R was unmounted unexisible
[11:58] <neotrix> Hi all, is there any solutions to get alc 888 sound chip work
[11:59] <Crozar> any ways to overclock opengl and acceleration because ATI cards can handle strong preformance quality and refresh rate with quick fast tickrates to screen and sensitivity action
[11:59] <kst> i am running deluge bittorent client but somehow i wont ever seed.. testing my port resulted in a timeout (whatsmyip.org scan, deluge scan) however it was working in win xp (so router should be safe).. also i cant use my static ip as in win xp, the router would block me then.. only DHCP works, whats wrong here?
[12:00] <Crozar> kst: use another program , like Bitornado or Azureus , or use bitcomet or Bitlord
[12:00] <kst> actually forget that, now it all of a sudden seeds... wtf
[12:01] <kst> Crozar no thx :) deluge is awesome, i think it's only the technical side
[12:01] <Crozar> kst: bitcomet and bitlord are for windows but you can run them through win(E) xecuter
[12:01] <kst> Crozar i think i'll stick to deluge, have you tried it? looks as good as torrent to me
[12:02] <Crozar> i actually have a weird problem i cant write cd's its like the lazer on the CD-RW ( HARDWARE PROBLEM ) is weak or fuse is broken or writeing somwere else lo
[12:02] <Crozar> kst: utorrent is tracking the ip's and reporting to FBI ( if ur in U.S , then i better now use utorrent because of somewhat internet law loool )
[12:03] <un_dave> Crozar: that was only one or two releases
[12:03] <un_dave> latest releases dont
[12:04] <kst> Crozar as far as i've heard that's just rumour, but i was just comparing features.. deluge is opensource :) www.deluge-torrent.org
[12:04] <Crozar> un_dave: you mean utorrent is safe now?
[12:04] <un_dave> Crozar: yep. newest release is
[12:04] <Rageon> what you mean by safe now?
[12:04] <un_dave> Crozar: hang on, i'll find out which are the offending versions
[12:04] <Crozar> lets take this topic for a controversial side in #ubuntu-offtopic  but hey i dont think its rumor ;) i believe they got the bollz
[12:04] <un_dave> hi Rageon, hows azureus?
[12:05] <kst> well anyway, guys: any idea why i can only connect to my router with DHCP and not the usual network settings (ip/subnetmask/gateway)?
[12:05] <guest> why doesn't Enlightenment have a tray?
[12:05] <timothywcrane> is gutsy still in beta?
[12:06] <Rageon> ended up going for KTorrent dude.. :( but it works like a charm :)
[12:06] <Rageon> told u guys it was bittorrent! lol
[12:06] <un_dave> Rageon: sweet as. each to his own :)
[12:06] <Crozar> i got 4 iso's in my desktop , ( winxp win98se ubuntu 7.10 beta and sabayon ) i cant burn them looooooooooooool im angry i hate my drive maybe hardware problem tried many cd's and now il try 1 more time
[12:06] <kike> cO_eMoSiCk
[12:07] <kike> cj,f,fyu,
[12:07] <Crozar> the reason is i want to update to gusty but i get a weird error
[12:07] <punzada> I love deludge
[12:07] <punzada> err deluge
[12:07] <Rageon> i love ktorrent, koz it works :)
[12:07] <kst> yeah punzada, deluge is really good
[12:07] <un_dave> Crozar: as far as i know, the issue was with 1.7.0, 1.7.1 and 1.7.3
[12:07] <punzada> I started using azurerus again but java is such a whore
[12:08] <punzada> so happy to find deluge, it's the same thing without being a whore :D
[12:08] <punzada> who would trust any company that has an 'issue' like that though?
[12:08] <punzada> screw that.
[12:08] <un_dave> punzada: i'm inclined to agree with you.
[12:09] <Zoiks> I think gutsy and I may have screwed up my backup drive :(
[12:09] <un_dave> as fantastic as utorrent was, reporting stats to authorities is not something i want to risk
[12:09] <punzada> indeed.
[12:09] <un_dave> i'd hate for the fbi to know how many copys of ubuntu i download :S
[12:10] <punzada> hehe
[12:10] <Zoiks> someone be able to help me out seeing if I have just lost all my data
[12:10] <punzada> what seems to be the problem Zoiks
[12:10] <MrEgg964> Hi all, I have a locked directory on my Desktop that I'd like to remove. How can I do that ? Tia
[12:11] <Zoiks> punzada: I have been trying to install gutsy
[12:11] <volantares> gutsy isn't in this forum
[12:11] <Javid> !gutsy
[12:11] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[12:12] <punzada> I really only know fawn myself, although I'm very excited about Gutsy :)
[12:12] <Zoiks> it installed all good, but complained about their being drive errors
[12:12] <punzada> hmm
[12:12] <Rageon> It said "Launching HTTP cache clear" in my program tray... what the hell did that mean???
[12:12] <Zoiks> and now it wont let me access my drive
[12:12] <Javid> !gutsy > Zoiks
[12:12] <giggsey> I've got dapper LTS, how do I install subversion 1.4.2?
[12:12] <punzada> even from a livecd?
[12:12] <Zoiks> volantares: yeah, i know... just thought someone here might be able to help me with fsck or related tools since I dont know if it is a gutsy or pre existing issue
[12:13] <mikubuntu> heeeelllllllllppppp.... just finished reinstalling xub seven O four to my friends old dell cpi d300xt laptop; last nite it would not booot for her, and i went through hours of a manual fsck, and afterwards still hung up... so i reinstalled; but now on grub loading, am getting error 18 ... can someone PLEASE help?  it's six a.m., and i've been working on this thing since eleven last eve......
[12:13] <mikubuntu> ...arrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh :(
[12:13] <Javid> I advise sleeping and working on it afterwards
[12:14] <Javid> you'll be less annoyed and less tired
[12:14] <punzada> Indeed, ....although, I do tend to do some of my best work after an all night bender :P
[12:14] <Javid> me too, but not always
[12:14] <Javid> but that's a wetware problem anyway
[12:14] <Javid> XD
[12:14] <mikubuntu> ya, but i'm motivated, if anyone can help
[12:15] <punzada> is it normal for a simple LAMP setup with vbulletin to be uploading ~200Kb/s consistantly o.O
[12:15] <punzada> 1 user too, something isn't right
[12:15] <punzada> lol
[12:16] <Zoiks> punzada: yes even from the live cd
[12:16] <mikubuntu> don't you know who i am? i am mikubuntu, champion of the os challenged...
[12:16] <mikubuntu> lol
[12:17] <othernick> hello, I'm on debian amd64 and was wondering if there's a method for dis-upgrading to ubuntu without downloading and burning a cd.
[12:17] <othernick> dist-upgrading
[12:17] <mikubuntu> uh, so does anyone know how to handle grub error 18?
[12:17] <Javid> vbulletin = bloatware
[12:17] <GNine> i just installed xubuntu-desktop, rebooted, splash screen was xubuntu but the system still looks like gnome. except that there are xubuntu desktop stuff mixed with gnome ...
[12:17] <Crozar> how to paste a problem where is that paste bin site =/
[12:17] <skypa> anyone aware of an open tool to create flash with?
[12:17] <Javid> !pastebin | Crozar
[12:17] <ubotu> Crozar: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:17] <punzada> Zoiks, you can't access at all through console? what is the error you're getting is it not even mounted?
[12:18] <Crozar> ty
[12:18] <MartinW> I'm changed my mouse's sensitivity and acceleration settings but I dislike the new ones and I can't remember the old settings. Is there a reset to default button?
[12:18] <GNine> do i have to still remove gnome to have a 100% xubuntu desktop environment?
[12:18] <jmazaredo> is there a way to get a specific package from old distribution rather than mixing the sources?
[12:18] <signifer123> skypa: SWFMill or MTASC
[12:18] <Javid> Zoiks, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB
[12:19] <Javid> Zoiks,  it has info on error 18
[12:19] <skypa> thx sigger_, Ill have a look

[12:19] <punzada> vbulletin being bloatware or not, shouldn't be pulling 200kb/s on one user ;/

[12:20] <the_bull> hello all
[12:20] <the_bull> i need help
[12:21] <[nrx] > !ask | the_bull
[12:21] <ubotu> the_bull: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:21] <Zoiks> Javid: has nothing to do with booting
[12:21] <the_bull> i hv couple of files... named same....say .c
[12:21] <howardavatar> I havejust tried installing 120 updates for ubuntu and my system crashed with the following error software index broken. i tried its sujestion but it did not help
[12:21] <punzada> there has to be a way to repair that
[12:21] <the_bull> now... i want to rename all these files with .cc
[12:21] <the_bull> how can i do that with one command?
[12:21] <MartinW> How do reset my mouse's sensitivity settings?
[12:21] <Javid> Zoiks, I had the wrong user, sorry :p
[12:21] <Javid> mikubuntu, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB
[12:21] <the_bull> i hv checked "rename"...but it don`t work
[12:22] <kst> :o
[12:22] <the_bull> [nrx] , can you help me?
[12:22] <the_bull> ubotu, i hv posted my question
[12:22] <MartinW> Give me a few seconds, I know a program. Let me just find the name
[12:22] <Zoiks> Javid: no problems
[12:22] <mikubuntu> Javid: ok, thanks will check it out
[12:22] <the_bull> [nrx] , did u get my question?
[12:23] <[nrx] > the_bull: do they currently all have the same .extension
[12:23] <howlingmadhowie> the_bull: if you want to rename multiple files, have a look at mmv
[12:23] <[nrx] > ?
[12:23] <[nrx] > mv *.something *.cc
[12:23] <picochu> anyone's using gusty beta and feels that it's is a little bloated?
[12:23] <the_bull> [nrx] , yes, they all are same
[12:23] <the_bull> [nrx] , mv don`t work
[12:23] <[nrx] > why not?
[12:24] <MartinW> Type rename in a synaptic ser
[12:24] <MartinW> arch
[12:24] <MartinW> you'll find lots of programs to do it.
[12:24] <Stormx2_> picochu: Bloated? How do you mean?
[12:24] <punzada> Zoiks, look into a tool called 'gpart'
[12:24] <punzada> it will try to find a primary partition and recreate the first bytes of it
[12:24] <punzada> so it's repaired
[12:25] <MartinW> Sorry serarch should be search.
[12:25] <picochu> Stormx2_:  seems a little slow, installs too much stuffs that i don't need by default
[12:25] <punzada> should work if it's not the primary partition too
[12:25] <Stormx2_> picochu: Well, turn off the stuff you don't need :)
[12:25] <picochu> Stormx2_: shouldn't be there in the first place
[12:26] <[nrx] > has anyone managed to sucessfully install and operate a USB GPRS device?
[12:26] <kahrytan> GPRS?
[12:26] <techknow> or GPS
[12:26] <[nrx] > gprs
[12:26] <Stormx2_> picochu: Well, thats just your thoughts on the matter. Personally, gutsy runs faster than feisty for me. If you want the devs to reconsider what packages are turned on, talk to em about it :)
[12:26] <picochu> [nrx]  i am using a hsdpa modem
[12:26] <[nrx] > basically, it's a usb modem
[12:27] <howlingmadhowie> the_bull: have a look at mmv
[12:27] <[nrx] > picochu: that's what i'm after :)
[12:27] <the_bull> howlingmadhowie, will mmv work?
[12:27] <picochu> [nrx]  i mean a usb hsdpa modem
[12:27] <kahrytan> hahaha usb modem.. I feel sorry for you
[12:27] <n0urs-> salut
[12:27] <[nrx] > picochu: fancy helping me out?
[12:27] <n0urs-> qui  tlcharger la 7.10 ?
[12:27] <picochu> kahrytan: my usb modem is running at 14Mbps
[12:27] <Javid> !fr | n0urs-
[12:27] <ubotu> n0urs-: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[12:27] <picochu> [nrx] : which modem are you using?
[12:27] <kahrytan> Not to many if any usb modems work with linux
[12:27] <Javid> (hope that was french)
[12:27] <howlingmadhowie> the_bull: mmv (multiple move) is probably exactly what you are looking for. it allows you to do things like "some file.txt" -> "some_file.text" or whatever
[12:28] <[nrx] > it's a Huawei thing 'E220'
[12:28] <picochu> kahrytan: plenty
[12:28] <Zoiks> punzada: any risk of destroying data on there?
[12:28] <picochu> [nrx]  do you have the vodaphone linux client?
[12:28] <[nrx] > it's on t-mobile
[12:28] <picochu> kahrytan: plenty of usb modem working on linux,u r just ignorant
[12:28] <punzada> Zoiks, messing with partitions and boot tables you always have somewhat of a risk.
[12:29] <punzada> that risk is mostly user error though.
[12:29] <[nrx] > picochu: i've been given it by my boss to try and get it working under linux..
[12:29] <picochu> [nrx]  use the vodaphone linux client it should work
[12:29] <jetscreamer> just restore from that backup you make every night
[12:29] <picochu> i am using it now
[12:29] <[nrx] > picochu: i'm going on a long train journey and the train's wifi routes through sweden for some reason, so i want to get this working in the hope that it'll be better
[12:29] <Zoiks> jetscreamer: this is the backup :(
[12:29] <picochu> it is as simple as the windows client.
[12:29] <picochu> [nrx] : do you read what i typed?
[12:29] <[nrx] > picochu: yep :)
[12:29] <kahrytan> picochu, not really. I did search last month. allot of problems
[12:29] <picochu> go download vodaphone linux client for e220
[12:29] <[nrx] > picochu: i'm googling now
[12:30] <picochu> kahrytan: funny i am using it without much problem
[12:30] <kahrytan> picochu, did you buy it?
[12:30] <[nrx] > picochu: do you have a link? saves me wasting time ;p
[12:30] <picochu> kahrytan: comes free with my subscription
[12:31] <kahrytan> picochu, which isp?
[12:31] <picochu> https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec/
[12:31] <[nrx] > thanks
[12:31] <kahrytan> picochu, thats isp for linux. doesnt count
[12:32] <picochu> kahrytan: does it matter? i am taiwan mobile right now coz iam in tw
[12:32] <picochu> but i got the set in singapore
[12:33] <howlingmadhowie> [nrx] : i used to have a pcmcia gprs card going back 2 years. it worked fine. i just had to set the maximum packet size while configuring the interface.
[12:33] <Lax> Hi. Im having a problem with getting drjava to work in ubuntu
[12:33] <picochu> [nrx]  you'll probably need to do a little bit of configuring to get it work on your isp
[12:33] <picochu> [nrx]  you'll probably need to do a little bit of configuring to get it work on your isp/mobile operator
[12:34] <picochu> it's basically a usbserial connection... the command is just the regular AT commands with mobile specific extension
[12:34] <the_bull> kk...
[12:34] <[nrx] > picochu: okay, thanks
[12:34] <picochu> thereafter just use pppd
[12:34] <the_bull> mmv don`t work for multiple file rename
[12:34] <picochu> but the vodaphone client does most of that for you
[12:34] <howlingmadhowie> the_bull: mmv "*.ending1" "*.ending2"
[12:34] <Lax> Is there any trick to get JDK to work properly with ubuntu?
[12:34] <picochu> [nrx] :  np
[12:35] <howlingmadhowie> the_bull: sorry: mmv "*.ending1" "#1.ending2"
[12:35] <leberkaes> Lax: What problems do you have with JDK
[12:35] <lafuma> any ideas why my ubuntus network keeps going down ?
[12:35] <picochu> with the client u can send sms, connect ti ip via cdma, gsm, gprs
[12:35] <[nrx] > oOooo it's doing something
[12:35] <[nrx] > okay, it was, but aint now
[12:35] <the_bull> howlingmadhowie, what # means?
[12:36] <Lax> Im installing JDK but all of my java editors cant find the compiler
[12:36] <picochu> ?
[12:36] <[nrx] > installed the package.. and clicked on it.. laptop was 'working' for about 10 seconds, then it stopped
[12:36] <the_bull> howlingmadhowie, what`s *hash* sign means?
[12:36] <leberkaes> Lax: Type echo $PATH to show your system-wide execute-path
[12:37] <leberkaes> Lax: Your stuff has to be in one of these Paths to be available system-wide
[12:37] <howlingmadhowie> the_bull: just type the sign. it's how mmv knows which argument you mean. for example -> mmv "*.*" "#2.#1" would make out of example.txt txt.example
[12:37] <[nrx] > now i need to learn/read more on pppd :D
[12:37] <picochu> [nrx] : make sure u unmont the cdrom drive that's being emulated by the modem
[12:37] <the_bull> howlingmadhowie, thnx bro...it works :)
[12:37] <peewe1> hi
[12:37] <howlingmadhowie> the_bull: no problemo :)

[12:41] <jetscreamer> how's backports
[12:42] <jetscreamer> !backports

[12:42] <leberkaes> Lax: Then you must put usr/bin into your path
[12:42] <howlingmadhowie> Lax: i bet the javac in /usr/bin is a symbolic link to /etc/alternatives
[12:42] <jetscreamer> gdm messes with your path

[12:44] <giggsey> jetscreamer, it's only installed subversion 1.3.2, when I need 1.4.2
[12:46] <Lax> Something is terribly wrong anyway.... Cant open the preferences tab in my editor (drjava) :(
[12:47] <Lax> and thats the tab where i have to set the compiler path manually too. argggg
[12:47] <jetscreamer> make that /path/to/svn.deb not /var/cache/blahblah then
[12:48] <giggsey> I used the .deb I compiled myself, but that just caused errors when my system was looking in /usr/bin/ instead of /usr/local/bin/
[12:48] <b14ck> anyone know of a program that can change my desktop background on gnome automatically every few minutes?
[12:49] <leberkaes> b14ck: Every few minutes?? Why??

[12:49] <Rageon> what program can i use to extract .RAR files?
[12:50] <SlimeyPete> World of Warcraft
[12:50] <shearn89> Rageon: unrar
[12:50] <jonathan_> if u want to play some games... I recommend u to using cedega or crossover
[12:50] <leberkaes> unrar ?
[12:50] <Rageon> ty.
[12:50] <shearn89> Rageon: its in the repos
[12:50] <Everheart> ok thanks
[12:50] <Rageon> sweet cheers guys
[12:50] <Everheart> well wow worked on wine before
[12:50] <leberkaes> everheart: You could first try the free WINE
[12:50] <Everheart> and there's tons of guides for it, but now i'm getting an error
[12:50] <Lax> this java issue is killing me. i need to start on school work due to monday
[12:50] <leberkaes> everheart: Its almost as good as cdega
[12:50] <Rageon> shearn89, is unrar-free just as good?
[12:51] <Everheart> I know, but I'm getting an error with it
[12:51] <Everheart> when I start wow through wine it takes a while first then it shows an error
[12:51] <shearn89> Rageon: i think so.
[12:51] <leberkaes> Rageon: unrar must be available on your console, isnt it?
[12:51] <Everheart> and yesterday it worked fine
[12:51] <Rageon> leberkaes, nope not currently installed.
[12:51] <amio> Hi sorry but I have a question does any one know if this days udpates includes the fix of ATI graphic?
[12:52] <Rageon> leberkaes, unrar is not a free program according to the Repo's info
[12:52] <SlimeyPete> Lax: tried eclipse or jedit?
[12:52] <Rageon> so probably not allowed to be shipped with ubuntu
[12:52] <leberkaes> Rageon: Sorry, i just meant free as in free bear
[12:52] <jonathan_> if I want to talk about ubuntu gusty, what room I should enter?
[12:52] <SlimeyPete> I want a free bear!
[12:52] <leberkaes> typo

[12:53] <crsn> Hi, there is a laptop (toshiba a200-12x) strangely, it doesnt boot, it stays in loading network device
[12:54] <the_bull> my cable broadband speed is 128 kbps....
[12:54] <crsn> no update has done on machine
[12:54] <shearn89> oh. hell, i'd take a beer.
[12:54] <shearn89> crsn: check the boot order in the bios.
[12:54] <the_bull> but, i only get 32 kbps... i talked to my internet service provide...but they did`t want to listen me
[12:54] <crsn> shearn89 linux loads
[12:54] <the_bull> please..brothers... can anyone help me regarding this?
[12:55] <Kaur> is setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled (hdparm -B255) on a hdd safe? The main question is if it will still park its heads on shutdown while apm is off?
[12:55] <the_bull> i need my full broadband speed
[12:55] <crsn> but it never ends trying to recognize networking
[12:55] <shearn89> crsn: oh, right ok. try unplugging the network cable/wireless card until at the desktop.
[12:55] <crsn> very strange
[12:55] <crsn> shearn89 there isn't
[12:55] <Pusur> Xchat closes when I try to connecto to a server, Azeurus closes when I start it, what the hell is the problem?
[12:55] <SlimeyPete> the_bull: do you get the full speed under Windows/MacOS?
[12:55] <the_bull> SlimeyPete, i don`t use windows
[12:55] <shearn89> crsn: try booting with the extra command "noacpi"
[12:55] <crsn> I said to unplug any usb device but the problem is still there
[12:55] <shearn89> crsn: you can change the boot options by hitting esc to enter the grub console.
[12:56] <etale> Hi all, Boot Problem: I finished a fresh install of 7.04 last night, but it only boots from grub every second time that I select ubuntu... so one time it'll hang there, and i have to shut down, then next time it boots.... any ideas what the problem could be?
[12:56] <SlimeyPete> the_bull: try a different modem/router/cable?
[12:56] <the_bull> plz. help me from this issue
[12:56] <amio> any one knows if already ATI problem got fixes of todays updates?
[12:56] <crsn> shearn89 thanks I will try
[12:56] <shearn89> etale: it might be trying to load a dodgy kernel.
[12:56] <the_bull> SlimeyPete, i am using my laptop
[12:56] <the_bull> SlimeyPete, but nothing changed.....
[12:56] <Rageon> ok are their any GUI based UNRARing programs?
[12:56] <lovingyou> hello, I have a server with 3 IPs, today, when I woke up I saw I can't connect on the server from main IP(but I can use the other ones). When I try to ping the IP I get Reply from <IP_ADDRESS>: TTL expired in transit.
[12:56] <shearn89> etale: check which is the default.
[12:56] <lovingyou> What is the problem?
[12:56] <the_bull> SlimeyPete, i can get 1 Mbps in my university lab
[12:56] <SlimeyPete> the_bull: well if nothing changed software-wise then that suggests it's a line problem or a hardware issue.
[12:57] <etale> shearn89: where can I check that, in menu.lst?
[12:57] <the_bull> SlimeyPete, how can i try to solve it in software ways?
[12:57] <SlimeyPete> so badger your ISP some more, and if they don't help you then lodge an official complaint with the regulator.
[12:57] <Rageon> i type unrar-free -x file.rar and it comes up as failed
[12:57] <Everheart> rage, just check your package manager for rar
[12:57] <Everheart> might work
[12:57] <shearn89> etale: yes]
[12:57] <the_bull> SlimeyPete, my download speed starts from 128 kbps....but it goes down down down...nd stuck @ 32 kbps
[12:57] <the_bull> :(
[12:57] <Kitar|st> guys when is the new ubuntu coming
[12:57] <Kitar|st> just asking
[12:57] <Kitar|st> he
[12:57] <Kitar|st> he
[12:57] <the_bull> :`(
[12:58] <shearn89> Kitar|st: you can get the beta now, otherwise the 18th of Oct.
[12:58] <Kitar|st> thanks
[12:58] <shearn89> Kitar|st: i'm actually running the beta - its fine so far.
[12:58] <SlimeyPete> the_bull: that does sound like it's something at their end, not yours.
[12:58] <shearn89> Rageon: try just unrar.
[12:58] <Kitar|st> i can wait another 18 days
[12:58] <Kitar|st> lol
[12:58] <Rageon> yer gunna :(
[12:58] <lovingyou> hello, I have a server with 3 IPs, today, when I woke up I saw I can't connect on the server from main IP(but I can use the other ones). When I try to ping the IP I get Reply from <IP_ADDRESS>: TTL expired in transit.
[12:58] <the_bull> SlimeyPete, yep! may be... but i want to solve it... bro help me...
[12:59] <SlimeyPete> the_bull: if it's at their end, you *can't* solve it.
[12:59] <SlimeyPete> they have to.
[12:59] <K-4U> When i max a window. the title-bar becomes invisible under the top-gnomepanel, how to solve?
[01:00] <etale> shearn89: in menu.lst there is only one ubuntu kernel and a recovery mode one mentioned, windows vista shows up twice tho on different root points
[01:00] <shearn89> K-4U: it might be something to do with margins... not sure. I haven't run gnome for a while...
[01:00] <K-4U> shearn89: How to fix?
[01:00] <ce_cuexz> k_galaw
[01:00] <shearn89> etale: which one is set to the default?
[01:01] <Wikzo> Hi. I have installed the Deskbar Applet in Ubuntu 7.04 using this guide: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/search-your-computer-quickly-with-the-deskbar-applet-on-ubuntu/ . Will it mess up when I upgrade to 7.10 in october?
[01:01] <etale> default is 0, which is vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic
[01:01] <berny_> bernylansade
[01:01] <amio> any one knows if already ATI problem got fixes of todays updates?
[01:01] <Rageon> shearn89, its a multi package RAR R01 - R45 .. what command do i use to extract with unrar
[01:01] <etale> shearn89: default is 0, which is vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic
[01:02] <shearn89> K-4U: not sure i'm afraid. You could check things like if the panel is "always on top"...
[01:02] <etale> shearn89 another interesting feature is that my ethernet controller seems to not be detected, I have no internet on that laptop...
[01:03] <shearn89> etale: you could try changing the time delay before starting the boot - maybe if you increase it a bit?
[01:03] <shearn89> Rageon: don't know i'm afraid - on windows, i'd just unrar the part01.rar...
[01:03] <shearn89> Rageon: does that work?
[01:03] <Rageon> lol me too
[01:03] <Rageon> nup
[01:03] <Rageon> im just gunna extract it in windoze..
[01:03] <Rageon> but LAME ;(
[01:04] <Rageon> ubuntu needs a all purpose GUI extracting utility :(
[01:04] <Fedman> hmm is there anu graphical tool to change boot themes?
[01:04] <K-4U> Rageon: You could always try winrar: www.rarlab.com
[01:04] <shearn89> Rageon: yep. doesn't seem to be an option for extracting partx.rar. I think file-roller is the gui extractor.
[01:04] <shearn89> K-4U: does it run on linux
[01:04] <shearn89> ?
[01:04] <Wikzo> Hi. I have installed the Deskbar Applet in Ubuntu 7.04 using this guide: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/search-your-computer-quickly-with-the-deskbar-applet-on-ubuntu/ . Will it mess up when I upgrade to 7.10 in october?
[01:05] <K-4U> shearn89: I thought thay made a linux version a while ago
[01:05] <shearn89> Wikzo: i shouldn't think so. It should just update itsefl.
[01:05] <shearn89> *itself.
[01:05] <Rageon> cbfed K-4U lol.. sick of chasing ghosts gunna go with what i know work not gunna waste anymore time on it
[01:05] <Wikzo> shearn89: Ok, thanks
[01:05] <K-4U> shearn89: Yes, there is a linux version;)
[01:06] <shearn89> K-4U: yeah - cli.
[01:06] <shearn89> nice.,
[01:06] <K-4U> Rageon: What do you mean? <-- Winrar works perfectly;)
[01:06] <Rageon> is it GUI?
[01:06] <shearn89> Rageon: no.
[01:06] <Rageon> in linux?
[01:06] <etale> shearn89 time delay is already 10 seconds, you mean that I should wait that long at each boot?
[01:06] <K-4U> reagon: Yes, i think so
[01:06] <shearn89> etale: if that isn't working, not sure whats going on. You could try updating to Gutsy's kernel. There's a post on it in the forums.
[01:06] <etale> shearn89 another interesting thing, when i was installing from bootable USB, it seemed like the partition table had done something weird
[01:07] <K-4U> Rageon: No, sorry... it isn't i'm afraid.. you could try the windows version with wine?
[01:07] <shearn89> etale: what kinda weird?
[01:07] <Rageon> ok.. how do i get wine going.. lol
[01:07] <K-4U> When i max a window. the title-bar becomes invisible under the top-gnomepanel, how to solve?
[01:07] <K-4U> Just asking again...
[01:07] <etale> shearn89 like said the cylanders werent aligned or something
[01:07] <shearn89> Rageon: open a terminal, sudo apt-get install wine.
[01:07] <Rageon> and then :)
[01:08] <K-4U> rageon: Download winrar, open terminal: wine <filename>
[01:08] <K-4U> then follow setup;)
[01:08] <Rageon> wow its that easy?
[01:08] <shearn89> Rageon: it will ask you for a password, just put in your normal user one. Then follow the prompts. It will install.
[01:08] <shearn89> Rageon: but yes, its that easy.
[01:08] <K-4U> shearn89: Hopefully it works with winrar...
[01:08] <tue> Hello. Very basic video question. I have a video file mplayer identifies as mjpg (and plays it). And i wish to convert it into plain avi format. How can i accomplish that?
[01:09] <etale> shearn89 because i first set up partitions for a later gentoo install in an extended partition, hda5,6,7 , then ubuntu goes installing into sda4 and sda8, but the cylanders are towards the end of the volume, then the partition table printed again, and i got that weird message
[01:09] <Rageon> shearn89, .. im new to ubuntu.. but why is my User Password the same as my SUDO password? is that normal?
[01:09] <K-4U> Rageon: Yes, that is normal
[01:09] <shearn89> etale: sounds weird. I'm afraid i'm not too strong on partitions etc. You could always try re-partitioning... but thats quite a hassle.
[01:09] <Rageon> kkk
[01:09] <shearn89> Rageon: yes, its just to stop you screwing over your system accidentally.
[01:09] <etale> shearn89 ok I'll look at it again with gparted and maybe just redo the whole mess
[01:10] <shearn89> etale: remember to install ubuntu last if you've got windows!
[01:10] <etale> shearn89 I know :)
[01:10] <Rageon> mk.. just your saying to give wine my password.. seems a little iffy but i guess i can understand why it'd need it
[01:10] <K-4U> When i max a window. the title-bar becomes invisible under the top-gnomepanel, how to solve? <-- Could SOMEBODY please help me with it?:|
[01:10] <K-4U> Rageon: You 're not giving WINE your pass, but Ubuntu
[01:10] <shearn89> K-4U: i don't know... you could try hunting through panel settings etc?
[01:10] <ctud> hi
[01:10] <Rageon> i dont want her having it either! its mine hear me? MINE!
[01:10] <Rageon> ..lol
[01:10] <K-4U> shearn89: It's in Beryl.. i did not had the problem before
[01:11] <ctud> only one question.. How i switch language on Kubuntu?
[01:11] <shearn89> Rageon: its cos wine needs admin rights to put stuff in the system folders, and as a normal user, you don't have them. Its just an extra security thing.
[01:11] <K-4U> ctud: System->Preferences->Language Support
[01:11] <shearn89> K-4U: you could try the beryl IRC channel. Not sure what it is though.
[01:11] <Rageon> yer its cool..
[01:11] <ctud> i mean with keys
[01:11] <ctud> from keyboard..
[01:12] <ctud> like left alt+shift
[01:12] <fab5freddy> I have an external USB hard drive, that I have used many times, now all of a sudden it is not being detected.. any ideas?
[01:12] <K-4U> ctud: same menu->Keyboard
[01:12] <K-4U> fab5freddy: have you tried rebooting?
[01:12] <fab5freddy> K-4U: yes.. no difference
[01:13] <K-4U> fab5freddy: Then i wouldn't know.. i'm a newbie to ubuntu to
[01:13] <Blackgoth> K-4U: what does dmesg tell you about usb ?
[01:13] <shearn89> fab5freddy: what have you done that might have changed it?
[01:13] <guest> hi there. Help me im in trouble.
[01:13] <K-4U> Blackgoth: it's not for me, is for fab5freddy:P
[01:14] <Blackgoth> guest: dont touch your dads pc again
[01:14] <fab5freddy> shearn89: taken the latest updates.. do you think this messed everything up?
[01:14] <guest> I've just before few hours downloaded ubuntu 7.04 livecd and burned it. and then booted with it, and went throw installation, then it asked me to remove CD and boot. and i did that
[01:14] <guest> now i'm in terminal
[01:14] <shearn89> Blackgoth: "dmesg | grep usb" will show any hardware logs with usb in them. helps for debugging stuff.
[01:14] <guest> I managed to get online, and apt-install irssi to talk here
[01:14] <Rageon> it says it needs to instal Gecko is that ok?
[01:14] <shearn89> fab5freddy: could be. try booting with your old kernel.
[01:14] <guest> but im in deep trouble now. as I haven't read any tutorials before doing it, I Thought it gonna be a gui step by step easy installation
[01:14] <Blackgoth> shearn89: i dont care, my usb is working perfectly
[01:14] <K-4U> When i max a window. the title-bar becomes invisible under the top-gnomepanel, how to solve?
[01:15] <shearn89> guest: which install cd did you get.
[01:15] <shearn89> Blackgoth: cool...
[01:15] <Lax> Why would azureus start the splash, load, and then quit?
[01:15] <Rageon> shearn89, It just crashes dude !*(*!@)(!#*)(
[01:15] <guest> shearn89: ubuntu 7.04.alternate.iso
[01:15] <guest> something like that
[01:15] <Blackgoth> guest: you are in a terminal now? maybe your X just failed to start, try startx
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> Lax: run it from commandline, see if it throws out any exceptions
[01:15] <guest> Blackgoth: I did, there was no X installed at all i think
[01:16] <Blackgoth> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then
[01:16] <fab5freddy> shearn89: ok i'll give it shot
[01:16] <Blackgoth> if everything is missing :P
[01:16] <guest> k
[01:16] <Rageon> can ubuntu burn DVDs?
[01:16] <Blackgoth> yep
[01:16] <Rageon> how plz!
[01:16] <K-4U> When i max a window. the title-bar becomes invisible under the top-gnomepanel, how to solve?
[01:17] <Blackgoth> the real question is Rageon, can your burner burn DVD's
[01:17] <Lax>  Caught exception on selector.select() op: Operation not permitted
[01:17] <Rageon> rofl yes it can..
[01:17] <Rageon> brand spanking new.
[01:17] <SlimeyPete> Rageon: k3b will do it. I think the Gnome equivalent will too.
[01:17] <Rageon> do i need to download that libary that descrambles DVDs?
[01:18] <shearn89> K-4U: have you tried the desktop effects forum on ubuntuforums.org?
[01:18] <SlimeyPete> !css
[01:18] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[01:18] <SlimeyPete> Rageon: but that's for playing
[01:19] <SlimeyPete> not burning
[01:19] <K-4U> shearn89: No, not yet, i'll try. thnx for the hint
[01:19] <Rageon> ayyyyye
[01:19] <shearn89> Lax: try sudoing the command.
[01:19] <SlimeyPete> unless you're trying to copy an encoded DVD, in which case you're a norty person and to help you would break the rules of the channel ;)
[01:20] <Rageon> nar mate im not.. all im trying to do is burn some data to a DVD.
[01:20] <shearn89> Rageon: i know there's something that copies dvds to mpeg4 format... only for backups of course!
[01:20] <SlimeyPete> Rageon: what software are you using? k3b is generally considered the best, though it's a KDE program so it won't quite jive with the Gnome desktop look
[01:21] <shearn89> isn't there something called gnome-baker?
[01:21] <SlimeyPete> yeah
[01:21] <shearn89> would that work?
[01:21] <IdleOne> Rageon: try gnomebaker
[01:21] <Rageon> im not at jive considering level, just at get it working level lol
[01:21] <SlimeyPete> shearn89: I imagine it would
[01:21] <leberkaes> I dont want to bash, but k3b for KDE is also worth a look
[01:21] <SlimeyPete> I've not used it for a few years
[01:21] <Lax> thanks shearn89 that solved it
[01:21] <darkchr0n0s> nothing like gnome-baker, gnomebaker pre installed?
[01:21] <leberkaes> k3b is really the nero of linux
[01:22] <shearn89> Lax: no prob.
[01:22] <shearn89> there is also nero for linux.
[01:22] <darkchr0n0s> hey, i have the same question... how do i turn down the brightness of LCD on my laptop (sony vaio)
[01:22] <darkchr0n0s> the Fn keys are not working
[01:22] <Rageon> had my finger on install Gnomebaker until "<leberkaes> k3b is really the nero of unix"
[01:23] <shearn89> www.nero.com/eng/NeroLINUX.html
[01:23] <SlimeyPete> Rageon: install both, see which one you like best :)
[01:23] <darkchr0n0s> any ideas how to solve this ?
[01:23] <Rageon> first one to work i will love till i die. :D
[01:23] <darkchr0n0s> anyone ?
[01:23] <darkchr0n0s> no-one ?
[01:24] <darkchr0n0s> :(
[01:24] <shearn89> darkchr0n0s: is there anything in the system - preferences menu that could help?
[01:24] <SlimeyPete> darkchr0n0s: be patient ;p
[01:24] <darkchr0n0s> SlimeyPete :  i am :)
[01:24] <K-4U> darkchr0n0s: What laptop is it? what brand?
[01:24] <darkchr0n0s> shearn89 :  the power settings has like 2 levels... high and medium.. seems to be bugged

[01:25] <kst> darkchr0n0s did you check the ubuntu guides for notebooks?
[01:25] <shearn89> darkchr0n0s: ah. just found this - try (in terminal) xgamma --help
[01:26] <K-4U> Darkchronos: i think you need to install drivers for it.. atleast it is so with Compaq
[01:26] <Davo_Dinkum> Is 6.10 the latest for PowerPC?
[01:26] <kst> was working from scratch with my Acer notebook
[01:26] <shearn89> 6.10? ubuntu? nooo.... 7.10 comes out in 18 days!
[01:26] <Davo_Dinkum> *PowerPC*
[01:26] <darkchr0n0s> K-4U :  what kind of drivers? for the Function keys u mean ?
[01:27] <Davo_Dinkum> shearn89: *PowerPC*
[01:27] <K-4U> darkchr0n0s: Yes
[01:27] <shearn89> i thought they released for all archs at the same time?
[01:27] <Sonas> hey can someone help me set up a LAN between two home computers? Iv looked up wikis but none seem to match what I need. thanks!
[01:27] <Davo_Dinkum> PowerPC support has been officially dropped https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2007-February/000098.html
[01:27] <shearn89> Davo_Dinkum: try hitting alt-f2 and type "update-manager -d" that will tell you if it can update.
[01:27] <gregshallard> Whats a good site to host calanders from Evolution?
[01:27] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas : what type of lan ?
[01:28] <Sonas> havnt a clue
[01:28] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  desktops/laptops ?
[01:28] <Davo_Dinkum> hehe I didn't say I was on PowerPC, but thanks fo the tip.
[01:28] <Davo_Dinkum> s/fo/for/
[01:28] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s i just want to hook up two computers via an ethernet cable
[01:28] <K-4U> i'm afk
[01:28] <Alfadir_> can I install ubuntu with a version 5.10 cd and just update it to current version?
[01:28] <AndrewB> !update | Alfadir_
[01:28] <ubotu> Alfadir_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:28] <shearn89> Davo_Dinkum: just read that article. ouch to all the mac users! (unless they're intel).
[01:29] <Alfadir_> ty AndrewB
[01:29] <sauvin> Well, THIS is a dozen different kinds of BROKEN.
[01:29] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  just hook then up, and you will need to put similar kind of IP, like put <IP_ADDRESS> to first pc, and <IP_ADDRESS> to second
[01:29] <shearn89> Alfadir_: not straight to the latest one. you'll have to update through 6.04, 6.10, 7.04, 7.10....
[01:29] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s one new laptop to an old desktop
[01:29] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  read what i just typed
[01:29] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s what program do i use?
[01:29] <shearn89> Alfadir_: easier to reinstall from a new cd.
[01:29] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  to do what ?
[01:29] <kst> is it recommended to already switch to 7.10?
[01:30] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s only one machine can be online at once
[01:30] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  you don't need anything else, just set the IP's
[01:30] <shearn89> kst: it comes out officially on the 18th, so not much wait.
[01:30] <AndrewB> kst: no, not just yet.
[01:30] <Phydoux> Sonas, are you using a diect cable connection or are you going through a hub?
[01:30] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  you want internet conection sharing ?
[01:30] <Veggie> Afternoon, all.
[01:30] <charding> hello veg
[01:30] <darkchr0n0s> shearn89 :  from where ?
[01:30] <kst> ok thanks :) guess some bugfixing might be done till then?
[01:30] <Eckoman> Hi guys! :)
[01:31] <Sonas> Phydoux darkchr0n0s id prefer to use the cable directly
[01:31] <kst> jo sup whaddup detroit
[01:31] <gregshallard> Whats a good site to host evolution calanders?
[01:31] <Phydoux> Sonas, make sure you have a cable designed for direct connections then
[01:31] <Sonas> Phydoux darkchr0n0s : so can i just hook the two machines with a cat5 ethernet cable?
[01:31] <Phydoux> Sonas, Google Crossover cable
[01:32] <Eckoman> Is anybody here who might help me with a small problem with madwifi-ng?
[01:32] <darkchr0n0s> Phydoux :  a normal RJ45 will work
[01:32] <Veggie> !ask | Eckoman
[01:32] <ubotu> Eckoman: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:32] <Eckoman> :D
[01:32] <Phydoux> Sonas, A standard cable wont work. You need a specialy wired cable (cross over cable)
[01:32] <coco> hello: how do I change my nick, it's already in use and I don't remember change it
[01:33] <g0dd3ss>  /nick
[01:33] <Eckoman> Alright, I thought it would be more polite to ask first if I could ask ;)
[01:33] <Eckoman> Anyway
[01:33] <Eckoman> I'm using Ubuntu for 3 days now
[01:33] <Eckoman> Firstoff: impressive!
[01:33] <darkchr0n0s> Phydoux :  i tihnk nowadays a normal cable will also do.. you don't need the cross-linked cables
[01:33] <kst> coco depends on your irc client, try /nick <newnickname>
[01:33] <Eckoman> Very easy to run, great possibilities
[01:33] <Veggie> Just ask your question, Eckoman =P
[01:33] <manuscript_pt> thanks
[01:33] <g0dd3ss> darkchr0n0s, you do need a xover cable for that 8-]
[01:33] <Phydoux> darkchr0n0s, Never tried it with a regular cable.
[01:33] <Eckoman> okok
[01:34] <Hestv4> moronish ubuntu... selected vesa instead of via as graphics driver :P
[01:34] <Eckoman> Installed madwifi-ng from svn and applied patch from aircrack-ng
[01:34] <darkchr0n0s> Phydoux, g0dd3ss :  try with normal cable next time
[01:34] <Hestv4> no wonder why it wasn't that fun to watch movies...
[01:34] <g0dd3ss> darkchr0n0s, it won't work, not with most NIcs
[01:34] <Sonas> Phydoux: is there any other way of doing it with out going thru the router? I want to transfer about 50Gb of data and my bandwidth isnt a quarter of htat
[01:34] <Hestv4> ok, it's a 1000MHz VIA C3, but it has played movies under windoze...
[01:35] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  answer these questions...
[01:35] <rebugger> got a problem with my hdd: after 10min of inactivity i hear a *click* (not loud) and everything freezes - then i hear nothing of the hdd - sounds like the hdd parks
[01:35] <manuscript_pt> I'm using Ubuntu dist, but I like very much to use Kile to type LaTeX, but it doesn't work properly in Gnome
[01:35] <Phydoux> Sonas, external USB HD is all I can think of other than crossover cable or hub
[01:35] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  do both comps have a ethernet cards?
[01:35] <Eckoman_> Dang, I got disconnected
[01:35] <Eckoman_> Has anybody replied to my question?
[01:36] <Davo_Dinkum> "You will need at least 320MB of RAM to install from this CD." http://mirror.optus.net/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ Why such high RAM requirements? Will 256 work?
[01:36] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s ~ yes both have ethernet cards
[01:36] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  how far are they kept? do you have a long enough cable ?
[01:36] <g0dd3ss> nooo Eckoman_ 8-]
[01:36] <AndrewB> Davo_Dinkum: cause it loads a live cd enviroment. You may want to try the alternative cd if you have low ram
[01:36] <Eckoman_> :(
[01:36] <blahblahx> i installed the minimal cd and then from the commandline installed xserver-xorg and gnome-core. when i do startx i get the fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
[01:36] <Veggie> Eckoman: What was it?
[01:36] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  ...
[01:37] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s ~ both next to me, plenty of length
[01:37] <blahblahx> what should i do?
[01:37] <Eckoman_> @Veggie:
	Installed madwifi-ng from svn and applied patch from aircrack-ng
[01:37] <Eckoman_> 	<Eckoman>	Usual wifi works still great
[01:37] <Eckoman_> 	<Eckoman>	But: once I start an athX interface in monitor mode, neither KISMET nor aircrack-ng can find any networks
[01:37] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  alright forget the internet for a moment.. we won't be needing it to transfer the data from one comp to another
[01:37] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  that's all you want to do right ?
[01:37] <Veggie> Ecko: No idea - you tried the KISMET / aircrack forums? They'd probably be albe to help you better.
[01:37] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s ~ yes
[01:37] <Davo_Dinkum> I'll see if the desktop CD boots on 256
[01:37] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  alright
[01:38] <blahblahx> i installed the minimal cd and then from the commandline installed xserver-xorg and gnome-core. when i do startx i get the fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
[01:38] <novato_away> how can I put one image per desktop on gnome?
[01:38] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  hook the cable in the LAN cards.. (can you do that w/o disconnecting from here?)
[01:38] <Eckoman_> @Veggie: Yeah, checked the forums there
[01:38] <novato_away> heloooo
[01:39] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s ~ cant do that without diconnecting
[01:39] <jrib> blahblahx: try installing "xorg"
[01:39] <Eckoman_> @Veggie: they claim its an error with Ubuntu :D
[01:39] <blahblahx> okay ill try that
[01:39] <darkchr0n0s> Sonas :  then write this down somewhere...
[01:39] <darkchr0n0s> or come in PM
[01:39] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s ~ ok
[01:39] <Veggie> Ecko: If it runs on other types of Linux, it should run fine on Ubuntu.
[01:39] <Veggie> They're all basically the same.
[01:39] <Eckoman_> Yes, I figured that too
[01:39] <blahblahx> well the kernels are basically the same
[01:40] <jrib> novato_br: google for "wallpapoz"
[01:40] <darkchr0n0s> looks like PM won't work :\
[01:40] <brownie17> does anyone know of a batch image processing program that can convert all my jpegs from 'progressive' jpegs into 'non-progressive' jpegs?
[01:40] <Eckoman_> The thing is: when I first installed the patched madwifi-ng drivers, the first time I fired up Kismet it found all sorts of networks!
[01:40] <Eckoman_> But after a restart that ability was gone
[01:40] <brownie17> or even if i have the right terms or even understand what i'm asking
[01:40] <novato_br> thx, jrib
[01:40] <novato_br> jrib, i'll try it
[01:41] <Sonas> darkchr0n0s ~ pms do work, i just had to run upstairs
[01:41] <Eckoman_> Another funny thing to note: when I destroy the ath0 interface and create an new ath interface, it keeps increasing. So right now I'm at ath11 ...
[01:41] <AndrewB> Sonas: you arn't registered, may need to ident to nickserv before you priv msg.
[01:41] <jrib> brownie17: have you looked into the "convert" command in imagemagick?
[01:41] <IdleOne> !register | Sonas
[01:41] <ubotu> Sonas: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[01:41] <brownie17> jrib, no. is it simple to use?
[01:42] <simplechat> hey yas
[01:42] <simplechat> harrison, you called?
[01:42] <haze76> Hello. The restricted drivers install for Nvidia gives a blank screen on my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop with a Geforce4 Go 440. I tried several tips on the net, but I cant make it work
[01:42] <haze76> Anyone who got it working?
[01:42] <jrib> brownie17: well for converting a jpg to a png for example, you do 'convert foo.jpg foo.png'.  You'll have to dig into the documentation to find out if there is a switch to do what you asked
[01:42] <g0dd3ss> anybody know much about wicd?  It's working fine for wired, but the wifi only seems to work sometimes?
[01:42] <brownie17> jrib, k thanks
[01:42] <jrib> !nvidia > haze76 (read the private message from ubotu)
[01:43] <jrib> haze76: the tip there that talks about a black screen *should* work since I have an 8200, had the same problem, and editing my xorg.conf like recommended resolved it
[01:43] <haze76> jrib thank you very much I will try this
[01:44] <jrib> haze76: I'll link you straight to the bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/109414
[01:46] <brownie17> does anyone know of an imagemagick option which will allow me to batch convert progressive jpegs into non-progressive jpegs. i do not fully understand what this means, so after having read all the available options i am still unsure if any are relevant
[01:46] <darkchr0n0s> !ask
[01:46] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:47] <darkchr0n0s> !trivia
[01:47] <ubotu> The #ubuntu-trivia channel is a place for testing your brain power and having fun! We schedule themed quizzes, every Friday, to test your knowledge of your favourite operating system (Ubuntu, of course!) and keep you exercising those cranial muscles.
[01:47] <haze76> jrib: if I mess up, is there an easy way to revert?
[01:47] <umarzuki> need to write onto ntfs disk
[01:47] <brownie17> umarzuki, i'd give up
[01:47] <jrib> brownie17: http://www.imagemagick.org/pipermail/magick-users/2003-May/008914.html and http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG
[01:47] <brownie17> umarzuki, it's possible but buggy and dangerous
[01:47] <umarzuki> oh
[01:48] <brownie17> jrib, thanks a heap
[01:48] <umarzuki> done sudo nautilus
[01:49] <umarzuki> but it didn't help changing the permission
[01:49] <jrib> haze76: yes, if X fails to start, just drop to a tty with ctrl-alt-f1.  Then restore your backup (make one before editing) or edit xorg.conf again using nano for example and remove your change.  You'd need to know how to do basic things in the terminal, are you comfortable with this?
[01:49] <brownie17> jrib, that first link you gave me was perfect
[01:49] <comzon1> Question: I want to use VLC insted of Totem .. How can a change my default player in ubuntu?
[01:49] <jetscreamer> #/dev/sde1   /home/.remote   ntfs-3g  noauto,users,noexec,rw,umask=022,fmask=0113,dmask=002,uid=1000,gid=1000,nls=utf8  0 0
[01:49] <jetscreamer> man update-alternatives or be lazy and update-alternatives --all
[01:49] <bjxrnsxrn> hey does anybody know whether i can place an .iso somewhere on my (only) harddisk and boot an OS from there?
[01:50] <IdleOne> !defaultapp | comzon1
[01:50] <ubotu> comzon1: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[01:50] <jetscreamer> yes you can
[01:50] <haze76> jrib: yes I am comfortable with quite a bit of it
[01:50] <jrib> !ntfs-3g > umarzuki (read the private message from ubotu)
[01:50] <darlok> bjxrnsxrn: Nope, it's not possible.  Though you can boot it with a virtual machine.
[01:50] <jetscreamer> you can also mount it and chroot if linux is inside
[01:50] <bjxrnsxrn> darlok: how?
[01:50] <AnYKEy__> umarzuki, you must recompile your kernel with ntfs-write support...
[01:50] <haze76> jrib: I would prefer editing xorg.conf rather than doing a restore of a backup.  But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[01:51] <nrdb> with the LiveCD, according to /proc/mounts the / fs is a union between /cow and /rofs, how come I can cd to /rofs but not /cow ?
[01:51] <darlok> bjxrnsxrn: Google "VirtualBox" ... that will lead you in the right direction.
[01:51] <IdleOne> !virtualbox
[01:51] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[01:51] <AnYKEy__> because your kernel must has ntfs support
[01:51] <bjxrnsxrn> darlok: okay thanks a lot :)
[01:52] <darlok> IdleOne: Ah... didn't know Ubotu had that.  Thanks :)
[01:52] <jxxxt> jrib,AnYKEy, worked for me
[01:52] <IdleOne> darlok: ubotu is all knowing :)
[01:52] <jrib> haze76: just make a copy of it 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.backup}' before you edit and if something goes wrong you copy the backup back with 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf{.backup,}'.  If you wanted to edit the file in a shell, you would do 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf', but then you would have to rely on your memory to figure out what you did and what you need to change
[01:52] <IdleOne> !botsnack
[01:52] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[01:52] <jetscreamer> nano -w
[01:52] <jrib> AnYKEy__: then the default kernel does
[01:53] <Seivan|> Could someone please explain on how I uninstall driver, lib, and util fromhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto apparently I got the wrong version and need to redo it.
[01:53] <jrib> AnYKEy__: all that's needed to obtain the ability to write to ntfs on a default ubuntu install is ntfs-3g
[01:53] <comzon1> Ubotu << oh. It is'nt at filetype.. its a stream..  rtsp:// stream..
[01:54] <guest> wow, the longest desktop install i ever saw in my life
[01:54] <guest> Blackgoth: i've done the apt-get install ubuntu-dekstop
[01:54] <jrib> comzon1: so it opens in your browser with a plugin?
[01:54] <jetscreamer> try the text installer
[01:54] <guest> desktop*
[01:54] <IdleOne> guest: you installing Mandriva?
[01:54] <guest> IdleOne: i'm installing ubuntu
[01:54] <guest> for the first time.
[01:55] <guest> IdleOne: why
[01:55] <IdleOne> guest: I had that experience with Mandriva
[01:55] <jefferson_> join #ubuntu-br
[01:55] <IdleOne> :)
[01:55] <guest> IdleOne: what about ubuntu?
[01:55] <IdleOne> Ubuntu is worth whatever wait
[01:55] <comzon1> jrib << no, when i try the adress in firefox.. it open totem external.
[01:55] <Daramarak> My laptop goes to the Ubuntu boot screen, when I try Start or Install, it runs for a while, and I get a message with "cannot open tty" or something like that.
[01:55] <guest> IdleOne: why is that
[01:56] <jxxxt> jefferson, you need a / before the join
[01:56] <IdleOne> guest: the community is awsome. no other like it
[01:56] <guest> IdleOne: I don't know if i'm installing the system really good, because right now i'm in terminal talking.
[01:56] <khamael> how do I make the line with rsss feeds in firefox span over 2 lines?
[01:56] <guest> i'll try startx, brb
[01:56] <Fedman> Can anyone tell me how can I change the theme for the root account so that when I use gksudo it will match my theme?
[01:56] <IdleOne> guest: did you use the AlternateCD to install?
[01:56] <comzon1> jrib << But Totem cant't handle the strem so it close..
[01:57] <jrib> comzon1: the same happens if you do 'gnome-open rtsp://blah'?
[01:57] <comzon1> jrib <<2 sec. I try.
[01:57] <Daramarak> Is there a boot option in the live-cd where I can try to not use the graphics card, in case there is a compability problem with the Quadro 360 card?
[01:57] <haze76> jrib: ok, I get it, under the screen section I add "UseDisplayDevice" (tab) "DFP" - should I use nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy?
[01:57] <darkchr0n0s> Daramarak :  you need the alternate install
[01:57] <darkchr0n0s> Daramarak :  you need the alternate install CD
[01:57] <jrib> haze76: pretty sure nvidia-glx works
[01:57] <umarzuki> how do i let my windosed friends read my files
[01:58] <Hestv4> umarzuki, samba
[01:58] <darkchr0n0s> umarzuki :  using SSH
[01:58] <Daramarak> Ok, ill try that. Downloading now. Thanks darkchr0n0s
[01:58] <darkchr0n0s> samba is good too
[01:58] <IdleOne> !putty | umarzuki
[01:58] <ubotu> umarzuki: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[01:58] <Hestv4> darkchr0n0s, windoze people can hardly be taught to use ssh :P
[01:58] <erUSUL> !alternate | Daramarak
[01:58] <ubotu> Daramarak: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[01:58] <umarzuki> do i sudo apt-get install samba?
[01:58] <darkchr0n0s> IdleOne :  i think he will like samba
[01:58] <comzon1> Jrib << It do the same.. opens in totem..
[01:59] <jrib> comzon1: open up 'gconf-editor' and edit the /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/rtsp/command' key
[01:59] <IdleOne> darkchr0n0s: yes but his windows friends will like putty more
[01:59] <jrib> missing ' but you get the point...
[01:59] <darkchr0n0s> Hestv4 :  i had a long man page to read :), i am also windozed
[01:59] <peter_> hi evrybody i have a question for you.... i want to install limewire peer to peer i dont know how to install "binfiles" how do i install this please.

[02:02] <jepes> lolz
[02:02] <magnetron> ohmy
[02:02] <Hestv4> darkchr0n0s, I think it goes wrong all the time... ubuntu tries to be too smart, but fails to often...
[02:02] <darkchr0n0s> spammer like me ;)
[02:02] <peter_> yes i see it thankyou please bear with me as i have only been using linux for less then 24 hours......
[02:02] <brownie17> i'm trying to batch convert an entire folder and the contents of all it's subfolders to a baseline jpeg rather than a progressive. i used the command 'convert -interlace none *.jpeg' and got told there was no image called '*.jpeg'
[02:02] <jmazaredo> what you mean depends on installation
[02:02] <magnetron> !gutsy | ratpoison
[02:02] <ubotu> ratpoison: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[02:02] <darkchr0n0s> Hestv4 :  ubuntu is for humans ;)
[02:02] <org_> I'm experiencing real major issue. first time happened to me in my life, Whenever I write "su" to log into root, I write the password, it says incorrect, but i know its right. I do "sudo something" it ask for password, I enter it the same and it works. What might be the problem here pls
[02:02] <org_> btw i just installed ubuntu
[02:02] <ratpoison> magnetro: I know, I'm not getting any response. What you you do if it were feisty?
[02:03] <Hestv4> darkchr0n0s, I'm just to tired to learn something new....
[02:03] <Hestv4> darkchr0n0s, so I went for ubuntu, "just point and click"
[02:03] <umarzuki> then don't use linux
[02:03] <magnetron> org_: don't use su, use sudo -s instead
[02:03] <IdleOne> org_: or use sudo
[02:03] <umarzuki> get windosed
[02:03] <org_> I will use those
[02:03] <Hestv4> umarzuki, not a chance after ten years with netbsd
[02:03] <org_> but i'm wondering why i cannot log into root, really.
[02:03] <magnetron> !offtopic | umarzuki
[02:03] <ubotu> umarzuki: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:03] <org_> because before this I had another distro of linux, and its the same problem on me
[02:03] <org_> on this system
[02:03] <jonathan_> anybody help me plz
[02:03] <org_> whats up with it
[02:04] <jonathan_> when I'm installing compiz fusion from trevino repository
[02:04] <jrib> brownie17: you will need to do something like (untested):  find /some/directory -iname '*.jpg' -exec convert -interlace none '{}' \;
[02:04] <IdleOne> !root | org_
[02:04] <ubotu> org_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:04] <magnetron> !root | org_
[02:04] <jonathan_> I got some package error
