[03:09] <green-_> man dvds burn slowly
[03:09] <bro-man> Jack_Sparrow: i am hoping you are not joking, yes ?
[03:09] <codyduncan> okay then
[03:10] <nat6138> bro-man: Are you using a stock 7.10 install?
[03:10] <DeusDeus> I'm having issues with ubuntu connecting to my wireless.  I have a DD-Wrt flashed router with WPA2-Personal security and I'm not able to connect with my laptop?  Where can I find out what the issue is?  Is there a log?  I'm using Ubuntu 7.10
[03:10] <groven1021> while trying to configure x server and get kicked out for overwriting possible-customised configuration file.  not sure what this means but it happens when I get to the monitor color information
[03:11] <DeusDeus> I'm a noob...and I'm also using a IBM Thinkpad R60
[03:11] <realshiva> hi guys, seconds befor i deleted a .php file on a ext3 partition how can i rescue this file? do someone know a good tool ?
[03:11] <nat6138> groven1021: did you run it as a root user?
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> bro-man: do you have totem installed?
[03:11] <groven1021> I have no idea
[03:12] <nat6138> groven1021: well, did it have sudo it front of it? lol
[03:12] <RequinB5> groven1021: If i understand you correctly, you got the notice you were overriding a possibly customized file?
[03:12] <groven1021> yes
[03:12] <bro-man> Jack_Sparrow: I have no idea... is it a stock option?
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> bro-man: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204022    If you play a file in totem, do you get sound with flash videos...  fyi, I am soon to log off
[03:12] <groven1021> requinb5, yes I think so
[03:12] <Cpudan80> Hey
[03:12] <nat6138> bro-man: Try going into the menu, and look in the sound and video menu, does it say "Movie Player"?
[03:12] <RequinB5> groven1021: That's what happens when you use dpkg-reconfigure to GUI re-do the X server when you have previously manually edited xorg.conf
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> bro-man: Try the link, if you dont get it fixed, catchme tomorrow
[03:13] <biscuit> I want to rip dvd movies, how do I do it

[03:13] <groven1021> how do I do that requin
[03:13] <RequinB5> groven1021: Shouldn't have affected anything

[03:14] <RequinB5> groven1021: i assume you used 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ?
[03:14] <bro-man> Jack_Sparrow: thanks again...
[03:14] <ovenfuel> omg theres  alot of pple here
[03:14] <groven1021> requin, yes

[03:15] <groven1021> requin, it's an ati card
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !in
[03:15] <nat6138> Could be a monitor problem, not detecting it.

[03:16] <calvinshields> I have a question :)  I plugged in a usb sampler (roland sp606).  It uses compact flash cards that, according to my googling, should appear in linux as an external hd.  But I get the following error:  Unable to mount media.  There is probably no media in the drive.
[03:16] <groven1021> requin, no, it says ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ at the bottom after the warning
[03:16] <nat6138> Strange.

[03:19] <bazhang> DeusDeus: this is the thinkpad r60?
[03:19] <DeusDeus> bazhang: yes
[03:19] <nat6138> ThinkPads usually work pretty good with Linux in general.
[03:19] <bazhang> DeusDeus: open up a terminal and type lspci
[03:19] <DeusDeus> nat6138: Everything else has worked perfectly
[03:19] <mike9682000> I installed Ubuntu in text only. I am trying to install the proprietary drivers for X1950. how do I do that? I don;t think I can connect to the internet

[03:22] <mike9682000> let me understand: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart will prompt me for my username, password etc?
[03:22] <SANTAbios> drivers?
[03:22] <nat6138> groven1021: have you tried startx?
[03:22] <usr13_> SANTAbios: Yes, it works ok.
[03:22] <DeusDeus> bazhang: Yes, I have had friends with the same model computer use my wpa2 network
[03:23] <groven1021> nat6138, not sure what startx is
[03:23] <Genjimoto> Hiya all. okay. fantastic, Compiz-fusion works. but... when i am using Xgl, my frame rate for glxgears goes down, way down. this is to be expected? therefore, how do i easily switch between Xorg and Xgl?
[03:23] <nat6138> groven1021: Starts the X server.

[03:23] <bazhang> nat6138: hes trying to reconfigure the drivers on the livecd

[03:23] <nat6138> bazhang: Oh, wasn't paying attention.
[03:23] <groven1021> startx gave me a fatal error
[03:24] <usr13_> groven1021: What error?
[03:24] <bazhang> groven1021: I would try the gutsy livecd
[03:24] <Cpudan80> Anybody know how to configure the firewall with firestarter?
[03:24] <SANTAbios> usr13_ how did u get it to work, is there a nice GUI interface?
[03:24] <levander> Is there any way to get GNOME to remember the size and position of windows?  So, that next time you open an application, the window gets put where it was remembered to be?
[03:25] <groven1021> isn't gusts 7.04?
[03:25] <bazhang> groven1021: no
[03:25] <SANTAbios> usr13_ what did u have to do to make it work, when i put the live cd in, it doesnt, yet i am doing a full install right now, will it work after the install?
[03:25] <nat6138> groven1021: 7.10
[03:25] <biscuit> hey all, i wanna burn a dvd as a dvd, how do i do it so it immediately plays the movie instead of pulling up as a data disk?????
[03:26] <cosmodad> biscuit: recode it to DVD compatible MPEG
[03:26] <bazhang> biscuit: devede k3b are a couple of options
[03:26] <usr13_> SANTAbios: Nothing, it just worked.
[03:28] <bazhang> Cpudan80: you should do a bit of reading on 'iptables'
[03:28] <Cpudan80> bazhang: .....
[03:28] <Cpudan80> bazhang: The thing is editing the IP tables, it is doing it wrong, which is why I asked
[03:28] <DeusDeus> bazhang: I have a router that is running DD-WRT and I have had no issues connecting to it with my macbook and my friends have had no issues connecting to it with their Thinkpads
[03:28] <bazhang> ipw 2200 is in the kernel is it not?
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !firewall
[03:28] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[03:29] <Greevous> anyone know why I have a "gdesklets-daemon" running in my gnome panel? It's keeping one of my desklets from being hidden under other windows
[03:29] <bazhang> thus the recommendation that you read up on it and learn how to do it--firestarter is just a front end--you could also do it via the command line
[03:30] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[03:30] <biscuit> cosmodad, does devede encode it to mpeg? (totally linux dumb here)
[03:30] <DeusDeus> bazhang: I can see my network being broadcast on my list of wireless networks.  When I attempt to join it asks for the password (which I copied and pasted from the router screen into the Ubuntu box) and the icon just shows that it is attempting to connect...it says "Waiting for Network Key for the wireless network"
[03:30] <cosmodad> biscuit: no clue, never tried that. Used to use tovid for a while, but it's console-based.
[03:30] <scorpioz> hi
[03:30] <bazhang> DeusDeus: yes; I have had that issue as well--the culprit imo is network-manager--I just set up the connection from the terminal (actually Konsole here) and it is rock solid
[03:31] <Genjimoto> Hiya all. okay. fantastic, Compiz-fusion works. but... when i am using Xgl, my frame rate for glxgears goes down, way down. this is to be expected? therefore, how do i easily switch between Xorg and Xgl?
[03:31] <biscuit> cosmodad, no good at console,
[03:31] <DeusDeus> bazhang: Thanks I'll see if I can google and figure it out from here unless you have any suggestions about that
[03:31] <cosmodad> biscuit: devede description says it does what you are looking for.
[03:31] <scorpioz> i hv problem regarding setting up wireless drivers in ubuntu....
[03:31] <scorpioz> i knw the correct drivers....because it works in Back Track 2
[03:32] <bazhang> DeusDeus: is this a network you use often? do you switch between networks?
[03:32] <scorpioz> so i want to know how to switch the drivers...?
[03:32] <scorpioz> how to i set which driver module is used by the wifi
[03:32] <DeusDeus> I switch often between home (the wpa2) and then on campus and various other places
[03:32] <codyduncan> I'm back
[03:32] <biscuit> cosmodad, ok well click around and try
[03:33] <bazhang> DeusDeus: ubuntuforums have a very thorough guide on how to do it manually with the various iterations of encryption
[03:33] <scorpioz> anyone with some experience in setting up drivers (for wifi) can help me...private msg..?
[03:33] <DeusDeus> bazhang: are there other network managers that I could try
[03:33] <scorpioz> i hv been to ubuntu forums but i can't find answer to what i am trying to do

[03:33] <bazhang> DeusDeus: I could cut and paste here but then floodbot would kick me ;[
[03:33] <LjL> pvl1: change it
[03:33] <bazhang> hehe
[03:33] <pvl1> LjL, yea
[03:33] <hanophix33> i  cannot connect to certain wireless networks, could it be my driver?
[03:33] <scorpioz> lol
[03:34] <DeusDeus> bazhang: I'll see what I can find in the forums.  Thanks for your help
[03:34] <kaptainkory> Would someone be willing to help me troubleshoot getting my graphics card working properly (Nvidia GeForce FX 5200)?
[03:34] <VvWolverinevV> what does it mean if wine is grayed out in my add/remove programs?
[03:35] <bazhang> DeusDeus: if it is too daunting come back--best to read up a bit on how to do it via the command line--I have found network-manager and knetwork-manager to be a pain in the posterior
[03:35] <DeusDeus> bazhang: actually in looking at the forums it suggests to have MAC filtering disabled which doesn't make much sense
[03:35] <scorpioz> kaptainkory ...u tried using the nvidia restricted drivers at all ?
[03:35] <groven1021> while installing guts I get the the running local boot scripts and it stops, anyone know why?
[03:35] <Mm|Spunky> "I have found network-manager and knetwork-manager to be a pain in the posterior" lol that made me chuckle
[03:35] <scorpioz> or do u run into probmes ?
[03:35] <hanophix33> whats better, hostap or orinico?
[03:36] <bazhang> DeusDeus: right; and not something you can control when it is the schools router
[03:36] <hanophix33> DeusDeus: what problem are you hsving?
[03:36] <scorpioz> kaptainkory
[03:36] <kaptainkory> scorpioz -- Yes, I've tried everything I could find online...envy, restricted drivers, downloading/compiling directly from Nvidia.  Now, I'm afraid I just have a mess...and I'm lost.
[03:36] <ardchoille> I recently moved to Ubuntu from Kubuntu, the only thing I miss is kalarm. Is there an app that lets you quickly set an alarm without having to set it in Evolution?
[03:36] <scorpioz> hmm`
[03:36] <scorpioz> ok
[03:36] <mike9682000> usr_13, I got "Reconfiguring network interfaces; ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0."

[03:37] <hanophix33> Ahh
[03:37] <scorpioz> i dont knw much...i just did restricted and it worked fine without any wrapping etc
[03:37] <jay-oh-en> ardchoille, hey i switched to ubuntu too
[03:37] <wittyphotons> how do i record the audio output from my sound card in gutsy gibbon? i have an alc268 sound car
[03:37] <ardchoille> jay-oh-en: :D
[03:37] <bazhang> still on kubuntu here ;]
[03:37] <nat6138> ardchoille: couldn't you just use kalarm in gnome?
[03:37] <jay-oh-en> ardchoille, why did you switch?
[03:37] <hanophix33> I have a school wireless network that i cant seem to connect to, i have a WEP at my house that I can connect to no problem, but there, i cant seem to get it to work properly
[03:37] <DeusDeus> hanophix33: I"m having issues connecting to my wpa2 network which I know works with this card
[03:37] <ardchoille> nat6138: I could, but was thinking gnome has something similar
[03:38] <ardchoille> jay-oh-en: May I pm you?
[03:38] <kaptainkory> scorpioz...thanks anyhow.  I just need to get back to square-one, I think...and maybe someone to talk me through a step-by-step check to figure out the hang-up.
[03:38] <DeusDeus> I've had no issues connecting at school with ubuntu either...so I think it's just the wpa2
[03:38] <jay-oh-en> ardchoille, yes
[03:38] <scorpioz> hmm
[03:38] <hanophix33> DeusDeus: hmm, i have a 802.11b which i dont think works with WPA so i got an external card which works great
[03:38] <scorpioz> so right now what is it doing..? is it trying to use the nvidia at all or just the generic vga
[03:38] <pvl1> well go that outa the way
[03:38] <pvl1> how do u change the incoming font in pidgin?
[03:39] <hanophix33> DeusDeus:  What kind of network at school?
[03:39] <codyduncan> Having read multiple pages in the wiki, and finding either no answers, or answers that lead to dead ends (as in no solution, or a solution that I apparently do not have the ability to implement), I am still facing the same problem, namely, I am unable to connect to wifi.  I recognize, after browsing the forums for the last two days, that this is a very common problem, but alas, none of the suggested solutions seemed to be right for my situation.
[03:39] <codyduncan> So, I am using Gutsy, on an AMD64, and using a Broadcom 4318 wireless card.  Upon first booting Ubuntu (the only OS on my laptop, as I ditched windows all together in search of greener pastures [greener even than those seen in the default XP desktop background]) I found that network manager was not recognizing any wireless networks.
[03:39] <codyduncan> I tried using restricted drivers to install the firmware for my card, and while that made it such that wireless networks were found (so I assume my card was working to some degree)  I was not able to connect to my own network.  Each time I tried to connect, the key wouldn't go through.  I'm now guessing that my best bet is to go the route of ndiswrapper, but I'm confused about how to go about using this.
[03:40] <DeusDeus> Oh geez...I'm not even sure come to think of it.  They have mac address filtering..maybe it's wep with 802.11b?  I'm not sure
[03:40] <kaptainkory> Scorpioz...right now, it's in safe graphics mode.  I've been able to get as far as getting it to "work"--even using Compiz.  But then I reboot and it defaults back to safe graphics mode.
[03:40] <scorpioz> oh
[03:40] <codyduncan> any takers?
[03:40] <scorpioz> i knw how u can force it to keep using the nvidia
[03:40] <DeusDeus> I see my wireless on the list and it it asks for my password it just does not accept it
[03:40] <kaptainkory> Scorpioz...don't ask me how I got it to "work"!  HA!  ...I've tried so many different things...GAH!
[03:40] <scorpioz> u hv to run the xorg reconfigure
[03:40] <hanophix33> DeusDeus: mine is open with a browser login, and I am having a ton of troubles connecting to it, NM shows great signal but I cannot connect
[03:41] <kaptainkory> Scorpioz ...done that, numerous times.
[03:41] <codyduncan> I suppose I should just read DeusDeus's problem right now for a while, as it seems similar
[03:41] <scorpioz> hmm``ok
[03:41] <codyduncan> and coincidentally
[03:41] <scorpioz> yeah
[03:41] <DeusDeus> I just didn't know if there was a log of error messages or something that could help me pinpoint the exact issue so I could google it better
[03:41] <codyduncan> my laptop is called DeusExMachina
[03:41] <scorpioz> i m stuck on wireless drivers....ubuntu finds them by default show network everything EVEN connets
[03:41] <scorpioz> but website like google works
[03:42] <codyduncan> no takers then?
[03:42] <codyduncan> well
[03:42] <scorpioz> but as soon as soon little bigger website...it starts downloading (gets the title) but then stops
[03:42] <codyduncan> I'll return
[03:43] <Lurner> I've having difficulty using the deluge torrent client to create a seed. Has anyone done this ?
[03:43] <danbhfive> scorpioz: when I had a bad wireless connection, windows would restart the connection simple.  Ubuntu required a restart.   I fixed the problem by improving my connection,
[03:44] <pvl1> how can i increase the font in pidgin chat dialogs
[03:45] <saebbi_> i'm trying to set environment variables using export VARIABLE=blabla ... after that echo $VARIABLE prints the new value, however when i close the shell and open it again, its back to the old value
[03:45] <saebbi_> how can i set it permanently?
[03:46] <kaptainkory> Scorpioz...Just something that seems weird on my boot-up that worries me is a PCI memory allocating error...  Is it possible this is screwing up my graphics driver?  I've read a couple of bug entries, but I don't know if they are the same...
[03:46] <VvWolverinevV> pvl1: Tools>Preferences>Conversations Tab>Default Formatting
[03:46] <wittyphotons> how do i record the audio output from my sound card in gutsy gibbon? i have an alc268 sound card
[03:46] <jrib> saebbi_: what are you trying to set exactly?
[03:46] <VvWolverinevV> can someone tell me what it means that wine is grayed out in add/remove programs?
[03:46] <pvl1> VvWolverinevV, isnt that outgoing?
[03:46] <saebbi_> jrib $TERM and $TERMINFO
[03:46] <Lurner> I used Audacity to record audio
[03:46] <scorpioz> kaptainkory hmm i get the pci error on my laptop where i hv wireless card problems
[03:46] <Lurner> did you install it yet ?
[03:47] <jrib> VvWolverinevV: what happens when you try to install it with apt-get?
[03:47] <swuboo> I'm having a problem uninstalling Firefox extensions in x64 Gutsy, if anyone might know about the subject.
[03:47] <scorpioz> kaptainkory but on my desktop ...where i hv loaded the nvidia card drivers...i get no such errors
[03:47] <wittyphotons> Lurner: yes, i have; it does not successfully record audio for me.
[03:47] <DeusDeus> well I see that I'm supposed to install wpasupplicant...and I did that
[03:47] <VvWolverinevV> pvl1: oh sorry, chat... i don't know
[03:47] <VvWolverinevV> jrib: what's the line :P
[03:47] <nickrud> saebbi_: add those to ~/.bashrc , they will be read each time you open a terminal
[03:47] <kaptainkory> scoprioz...of the bugs I've read that seem similar, most people say it doesn't seem to affect anything.
[03:47] <wittyphotons> when i try it with my sound card's output as the input, all i get is a blank audio file from recording.
[03:47] <hanophix33> can anyone help me with hostap or orinco
[03:47] <scorpioz> ...yeah exactly ..
[03:48] <jrib> saebbi_: set them in ~/.bashrc I suppose, but something else should be setting $TERM shouldn't it?  Why do you want to do this?
[03:48] <jrib> VvWolverinevV: sudo apt-get install wine
[03:48] <scorpioz> people say it does'nt matter as long as device is trying to work
[03:48] <scorpioz> wen u do modprobe etc
[03:48] <VvWolverinevV> jrib: nvm, getting it with synaptic
[03:48] <DCorleone> Hey now.  Got a weird problem.  I can't get CTRL-ALT-F1 to a console anymore.  F2, F3, etc either.
[03:48] <VvWolverinevV> jrib: i wonder why it was grayed out
[03:48] <wittyphotons> Lurner: do you know of any other options? or perhaps why audacity is not working for me.
[03:49] <saebbi_> jrib i'm having trouble running emacs.. i was told to try setting TERM to vt100
[03:49] <VvWolverinevV> jrib: maybe because of dependencies? but i thought add/remove took care of that too
[03:49] <Lurner> wittyphotons: what happens when you try to record ?
[03:49] <baalsgate> hi
[03:49] <danbhfive> wittyphotons: have you checked your volume control?  maybe there is something that you need to unmute
[03:49] <wittyphotons> Lurner: i seem to have one of those not-natively-supported sound cards, the intel ALC268. i had to run through some hoops to get sound on my machine at all.
[03:49] <Lurner> wittyphotons: do you get an error message ?
[03:50] <baalsgate> how do i start and stop services from the command line
[03:50] <DCorleone> Anybody know aht's up with that?  On occasion I have need to kill gdm and x instead of restarting them, and I need that console access to be able to do that.  What's up?
[03:50] <walterharold> ugh
[03:50] <Lurner> wittyphotons: in audacity ,  you set the record source , line, micr.. etc . and then set the level
[03:50] <jrib> baalsgate: sudo /etc/init.d/SERVICE stop    (or start)
[03:50] <walterharold> is there  a way to repair system files with a livedisk?
[03:50] <nickrud> baalsgate: sudo invoke-rc.d <service> start/stop
[03:50] <Lurner> I've having difficulty using the deluge torrent client to create a seed. Has anyone done this ?
[03:50] <RequinB4> codyduncan - ironic, i'm EXACTLY where you are right now
[03:50] <baalsgate> jrib thanks
[03:50] <wittyphotons> Lurner: when i try to record, i have to close any other programs using sound first, otherwise i get an error message or it simply doesn't even begin recording. but if i close everything but audacity first (i think it has to do with some codec being in use otherwise), i can record in audacity. like, i see the recoding taking place. but it is just silence being recorded.
[03:50] <walterharold> i don't seem to have root access
[03:50] <nickrud> walterharold: some ...
[03:50] <RequinB4> nvrmind
[03:51] <tatami> can anyone help me set up an my wireless card???
[03:51] <scorpioz> i don't seem to have root access :o ????
[03:51] <tatami> I know what kind it is and it is being recognized i just cant connect with it
[03:51] <wittyphotons> Lurner: i've already gone into alsamixer and unmuted stuff and enabled capture mode on the appropriate tab.
[03:51] <Lurner> wittyphotons: you might want to think about getting another sound card that is supported.. they are pretty inexpensive
[03:51] <nickrud> walterharold: the live cd gives you sudo access, but you'll need to mount the partition read write
[03:51] <danbhfive> DCorleone: maybe this is your problem, no idea though: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/129910
[03:51] <wittyphotons> Lurner: yeah, i set the record source to "ALSA: HDA Intel: AlC268 Analog"
[03:51] <walterharold> how can i edit my /etc/evms.conf...the file directory is locked
[03:52] <jrib> !sudo | walterharold
[03:52] <ubotu> walterharold: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[03:52] <DCorleone> danbhfive: Okay, I'll check it out.  Thx.
[03:52] <walterharold> thanks
[03:52] <Lurner> wittyphotons: sounds like you've done everything correctly so far. That method works for me
[03:52] <wittyphotons> Lurner: what do i do for a short term solution, though; i have a project that I need this capability for before thursday and i'm a college student who can't easily drive to altec's or wherever to pick one up.
[03:52] <azrael> hello
[03:52] <tatami> Anyone???
[03:53] <swuboo> Does anyone have any idea why I might be completely unable to uninstall old Firefox add-ons?
[03:53] <scorpioz> ..need to replace current wireless card drive module being used ...with another one (i found wireless working in back track 2) and can find out the module name etc....??? any takers...pm ?
[03:53] <justin__> i use crossover office to play wow, and it works fine in gnome...but when i try to access it in the new KDE4 it will let me use the program, but there is no sound, i've tried searching for more info, but can't find it on the internet...i'm assuming it has something to do with the new kde4 sound system, but i don't know
[03:53] <|ns|nR8> tried starting firefox as root swuboo ?
[03:53] <nat6138> swuboo: You can't just go into firefox and uninstall?
[03:53] <nickrud> !wireless | tatami (I'm not a wireless expert, maybe you haven't seen this stuff yet)
[03:53] <ubotu> tatami (I'm not a wireless expert, maybe you haven't seen this stuff yet): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:53] <nat6138> Of course, you have to restart afterwords.
[03:53] <wittyphotons> Lurner: also, how difficult is the sound card replacement process? i'm not so great with hardware issues (hence my trouble here in the first place).
[03:53] <solexious> [Q] Any one know if you can create a raid across drives on different box's on a networ?
[03:53] <swuboo> |ns|nR8:  No, I've been reluctant to, but I'm beginning to think I might have to.
[03:53] <amigappc> hi
[03:54] <jrib> |ns|nR8, swuboo: don't start firefox as root...
[03:54] <Lurner> wittyphotons: sometimes there is no software solution.  .. Drive to altec ? I live in an urban area and can find cheapo remaindered/ used/grey market stores everywhere
[03:54] <amigappc> anybody can help me with my sound problem
[03:54] <walterharold> okay...is there an easy way to mount a drive read-write?
[03:54] <jrib> walterharold: what filesystem?
[03:54] <|ns|nR8> jrib if hes that worried he can disconnect the internet first
[03:54] <Lurner> wittyphotons: one screwdriver will do the job
[03:54] <swuboo> nat6318:  Nope.  Option's greyed out.  I did manage to click it earlier, but it said that the extensions were installed in a read-only location.
[03:54] <Syn-> so i need to install new nvidia drivers, do i really need to reboot into CLI mode to do this or is there an easier method?
[03:54] <jrib> |ns|nR8: what would it accomplish?
[03:54] <wittyphotons> Lurner: i just have no idea what sort of sound card I should be looking for, i guess. any particular brand or model that's supported?
[03:54] <amigappc> !alsa
[03:54] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[03:54] <zumbrujm> Hello.   How can I go about adding a default gateway for gaming purposes?
[03:54] <|ns|nR8> i asked if he tried it, running as root often accomplishes alot of stuff
[03:55] <jrib> swuboo: try 'find ~/.mozilla ! -user $USER' without the single quotes
[03:55] <scorpioz> Syn you need to updated nvidia drivers ?? or install fresh one
[03:55] <walterharold> i believe its either reiser
[03:55] <leon> hola
[03:55] <swuboo> jrib:  That command does not return anything.
[03:56] <Syn-> it's a base install of 7.10, and though I see nvidia drivers there they aren't seeing my 8800...so updated?
[03:56] <scorpioz> Syn-: you need to updated nvidia drivers ?? or install fresh one
[03:56] <scorpioz> oh
[03:56] <jrib> walterharold: if it's a filesystem that stores permissions, then you need to mount it and set the permissions to whatever you want
[03:56] <magic_ninja> syn ctrl + alt + f1 login -->sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop -->sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-xsettings-->sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[03:56] <jrib> !fstab > walterharold (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:56] <drgeb> anyone know how to silence and remove NetworkManager <debug> statements that are in syslog and dmesg logs ?
[03:56] <Lurner> a card from Creative labs is pretty much standard.. ESS cards are also popular and much cheaper
[03:56] <amigappc> hi anybody, i own a toshiba satego p100 and have ubuntu installed. i have alsa selected but i cant hear anything
[03:56] <jrib> !permissions > walterharold (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:56] <Lurner> I've having difficulty using the deluge torrent client to create a seed. Has anyone done this ?
[03:56] <zumbrujm> Does anyone know how I might add a default gateway for gaming?
[03:56] <azrael> i got a noob question, i got a .png file to move into /user/share/pixmaps, but i can't get it in there, even when i do sudo mv gens.png /user/share/pixmaps, then it says it can't find the .png file. I'm moving the file from my desktop
[03:56] <Syn-> damn, i was hoping there was easier way by now heh, thanks
[03:57] <magic_ninja> amigappc: ctrl + f2 then type gmix and tweak the volume settings
[03:57] <nickrud> walterharold: to edit your file,    sudo mount /dev/<device> -tauto /mnt  . /mnt/etc/evms (?) is where you'd find it
[03:57] <solexious> [Q] Any one know if you can create a raid across drives on different box's on a network?
[03:57] <bod_> azrael, you have to be in the right directory,.,. cd /usr/home/Desktop
[03:57] <jrib> swuboo: what addons?
[03:57] <bod_> azrael, do that first then try
[03:57] <magic_ninja> azrael: what dir are you in in the terminal
[03:57] <swuboo> jrib:  Adblock and NukeImage.
[03:58] <amigappc> magic_ninja: nothing happend to me, if i use the ctrl and f2 button
[03:58] <bod_> azrael, usr being your login name
[03:58] <magic_ninja> amigappc: gnome?
[03:58] <amigappc> ubuntu 7.10
[03:58] <azrael> azrael@azrael-desktop:~$
[03:58] <magic_ninja> amigappc: just run gmix in a terminal
[03:58] <swuboo> If I click "Find Updates", the text below their names changes to, "Update not supported (install location is read only)."
[03:58] <azrael> downloaded right to desktop
[03:58] <bod_> azrael, yer now try your sudo mv command
[03:58] <amigappc> gmix command not found
[03:59] <nickrud> swuboo: do you think you might have added those extensions with apt-get, they are in the repos and that would explain read only
[03:59] <amigappc> i am a noob on linux
[03:59] <magic_ninja> amigappc: sudo apt-get install gmix
[03:59] <pvl1> does anyone know how ican change the chat history font in pidgin?
[03:59] <swuboo> nickrud:  I suppose that's not impossible, although I don't recall doing so.  I'll check Synaptic.
[03:59] <amigappc> e: paket gmix not found
[03:59] <azrael> azrael@azrael-desktop:~$ sudo mv gens.png /user/share/pixmaps
[03:59] <azrael> mv: cannot stat `gens.png': No such file or directory
[04:00] <amigappc> magic_ninja: e: packet gmix not found
[04:00] <azrael> i can't seem to figure out whats up
[04:00] <azrael> i can't just copy and paste it
[04:00] <regulate> azrael: sudo mv /home/azrael/Desktop/gens.png /destination
[04:00] <bod_> tritium, hey,. i finally got the loading bars working,.now im trying to create a GDM login screen, any ideas?
[04:00] <azrael> ahh'
[04:00] <swuboo> nickrud:  Yeah, adblock shows up as an installed package in Synaptic.
[04:00] <Joespeh> I have two hard drives - C: and G: ----  G: has my previous MY Documents on it. I want to keep my documents and dual install xp and ubuntu - do I need to partition the G: drive when I install it? (XP is on C:)
[04:00] <magic_ninja> amigappc: gnome-volume-control
[04:00] <nickrud> swuboo: remove them both there then
[04:00] <swuboo> nickrud:  Doing so now.
[04:01] <amigappc> yeah there is all up 100
[04:01] <bod_> azrael, its probably file permissions,. where are you trying to put the file?
[04:01] <regulate> bod_: he's root
[04:01] <nickrud> swuboo: yeah, I realized right after hitting return that was a pointless suggestion :)
[04:01] <wittyphotons> Lurner: btw thanks for your advice; i guess getting a new sound card is just the easiest solution
[04:01] <magic_ninja> Joespeh: just partition the windows hdd and half windows half linux and user the other drive as your home drive and mount your "Documents and Settings" folder on the desktop with a symlink
[04:01] <bod_> regulate, true
[04:01] <amigappc> magic_ninja: all is on 100
[04:02] <swuboo> nickrud:  Yup, that was it.  Restarted Firefox and it no longer lists them.  Thanks.
[04:02] <azrael> azrael@azrael-desktop:~$ sudo mv /home/azrael/Desktop/gens.png /user/share/pixmaps
[04:02] <azrael> mv: cannot move `/home/azrael/Desktop/gens.png' to `/user/share/pixmaps': No such file or directory
[04:02] <azrael> still nothing
[04:02] <jrib> azrael: it's "usr", not "user".  There are probably better ways to accomplish what you are trying to do by the way
[04:02] <bod_> azrael, /user/share/pixmaps should be /usr/share/pixmaps
[04:02] <simps> Could someone help me setup samba to be able to see my ubuntu from my windows?
[04:02] <magic_ninja> amigappc: what kind of card, do you have onboard audio and a soundcard installed or just one or the other
[04:03] <amigappc> magic_ninja: its a toshiba laptop satego p100 ...
[04:03] <Joespeh> magic_ninja - My G: drive (200 gig) is much bigger than my C: drive (30 gig), I think it would make sense to put windows on C and linux on G:,  do I have to partition my G: drive to keep my documents?
[04:03] <amigappc> magic_ninja: onboard
[04:03] <azrael> whats a better way?\
[04:04] <bod_> azrael, tab completion
[04:04] <nat6138> simps: You need to go into the Shared Folders thing in Preferences, or Admistration, should come up with a dialog box saying something that you need to install.
[04:04] <magic_ninja> Joespeh: yes you will
[04:04] <Joespeh> thank you
[04:04] <regulate> Joespeh: partitioning it would mean losing data
[04:04] <bod_> azrael, just press tab about half way through typing a directory word
[04:04] <magic_ninja> amigappc: play around with that and try alsamixer
[04:04] <azrael> hmm
[04:04] <simps> nat6138: i did that
[04:04] <amigappc> magic_ninja: i have it installed, and no sound at all
[04:04] <azrael> ok, thanks
[04:04] <magic_ninja> amigappc: my guess if there is a setting your missing, it is 95% of the time
[04:04] <nat6138> simps: Did you add any folders?
[04:04] <simps> i added a folder as well, nat6138
[04:04] <nat6138> simps: And still nothing on Windows
[04:05] <nat6138> ?*
[04:05] <NW2190> Hey, in Python is there a way to create a list one entry at a time, without knowing the total # of entries beforehand?
[04:05] <Joespeh> okay, I guess my real problem is I don't understand how partitioning works -- what does it do?
[04:05] <simps> nope
[04:05] <simps> nothing nat6138
[04:05] <nat6138> simps: Try refreshing the windows part?
[04:05] <nemilar> NW2190: that's offtopic
[04:05] <magic_ninja> Joespeh: its like walls in a house
[04:05] <regulate> Joespeh: cuts the pie into pieces
[04:05] <nemilar> NW2190: but if you want to you can PM me
[04:05] <Genjimoto> Hiya all. okay. fantastic, Compiz-fusion works. but... when i am using Xgl, my frame rate for glxgears goes down, way down. this is to be expected? therefore, how do i easily switch between Xorg and Xgl?
[04:05] <regulate> its not a house
[04:05] <amigappc> magic_ninja: i have the alsa mixer gui installed, and there is the IEC958 down to zero ... and i cant turn the volume up .... but i dont now, where i can get the right drivers for the soundcard
[04:05] <regulate> its a pie
[04:05] <bod_> NW2190, #python
[04:05] <magic_ninja> Joespeh: my reccomendation, google it and read for an hour or so to get a good idea what your doing
[04:05] <NW2190> Oh, sorry.
[04:05] <Joespeh> k
[04:06] <simps> nat6138: i wonder if i'm looking for ubuntu in a wrong way on windows, where should i be looking?
[04:06] <regulate> Joespeh: or launch gparted
[04:06] <bod_> no probs
[04:06] <magic_ninja> amigappc: just use the arrow keys up and down in a terminal with alsamixer
[04:06] <nat6138> simps: Go to Network, in Vista, or Network Places in XP.
[04:06] <magic_ninja> simps: windows doesn't support linux-type file systems
[04:06] <nat6138> simps: Should be in there.
[04:06] <amigappc> magic_ninja: nothing happend. it looks like, "yeah i know the chip, but i dont have support for it, so dude dont try to set up the volume higher"
[04:06] <nat6138> magic_ninja: He added a folder I believe.
[04:06] <magic_ninja> nat6138: ohhh, network woops
[04:07] <dn4> does anyone know a wget command that would access a website scan it and if it finds a file that is released @ a certain date that you do not have in the current dir it will download it?
[04:07] <iKap> !a
[04:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about a - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:07] <simps> nat6138: nope, don't see it
[04:07] <jeffMASTERflex> dn4: pipes are your friend...
[04:07] <Joespeh> after reading the first part of wiki's entry, I now know what it's talking about, just not familiar with the term.
[04:07] <nat6138> simps: Hmm, Should be there.
[04:08] <dn4> jeffMASTERflex, does not compute
[04:08] <jeffMASTERflex> dn4: http://linuxcommand.org/
[04:08] <nemilar> jeffMASTERflex: don't think piping would work there
[04:08] <magic_ninja> amigappc: sorry i must go to bed for work
[04:08] <amigappc> magic_ninja: thx and have a good night
[04:08] <magic_ninja> amigappc: if you don't get your problem resolved tomarrow evening i'll help you out just PM me
[04:08] <nemilar> jeffMASTERflex: it'd be more complex, like get the headers, if this then that...probably require a script
[04:08] <tatami> does anyone else use wifi radar to connect their wireless networks/
[04:08] <jeffMASTERflex> nemilar: maybe not, you might need some scanner implemented in another languag that is not bash
[04:09] <nemilar> I think bash could handle it
[04:09] <amigappc> magic_ninja: if i dont forget it, i will do it ^.^ i promise
[04:09] <jeffMASTERflex> nemilar: python, ruby, perl they can all do the job for sure
[04:09] <nemilar> jeffMASTERflex: bash could handle it, but it'd take more than pipes ;)
[04:09] <nemilar> Python would be my choice though
[04:09] <simps> tatami: i do
[04:10] <Plen0x> Some one be my internet superhero and beep me.

[04:11] <tritium> bod_: good job.  What was the fix?
[04:11] <mboman> zaharazod: what do you want to do?
[04:11] <tatami> for some reason every time my screensaver comes up, my computer freezes... It just locks up, screensaver freezes and I cant get out. It happens when I am in the screen saver menu as well....
[04:12] <simps> no, i was just about to ask if anyone else uses mirc to see if they can fix the crashing
[04:12] <simps> not offtopic :P
[04:12] <Plen0x> Meh, my sound only works for skype and pidgin.  I haven't fixed it yet.   Thanks :)
[04:13] <jeffMASTERflex> simps: pidgin, kopete, weechat, there are many
[04:13] <Cin> hey
[04:13] <Cin> if you run `top'
[04:13]  * Plen0x twitches
[04:13] <tatami> Has anyone else had that problem
[04:13] <tritium> bod_: interesting
[04:13] <Cin> and resize the window to less than say 5 rows
[04:13] <Plen0x> Wait, mIRC on ubuntu? WHY?
[04:13] <Cin> it core dumps :
[04:13] <nemilar> simps: pidgin, irrsi, the client that ryhmes with "witchX"
[04:13] <bod_> tritium, i don't suppose you've heard of a script/program called GDM maker have you?
[04:13] <nemilar> simps: also you can make xchat pretty if you want
[04:13] <tritium> bod_: no
[04:13] <zumbrujm> hello everyone
[04:14] <simps> hm
[04:14] <jeffMASTERflex> nemilar: it's xchat. it's never pretty
[04:14] <simps> how would you make xchat pretty?
[04:14] <simps> ;s
[04:14] <nemilar> haha
[04:14] <nemilar> you can make the background transparent or whatever
[04:14] <Cin> does anyone else's `top' coredump when you make it really small? :)
[04:14] <nemilar> Cin: no, and that's scary
[04:14] <simps> pff ok, i'm going to try rhyming witchx
[04:14] <Cin> nemilar: it does it on feisty and gutsy
[04:14] <simps> brb
[04:14] <nat6138> Cin: Not mine.
[04:14] <Cin> nemilar: make it like 5 rows high
[04:14] <nemilar> wow wait you're right
[04:14] <bod_> tritium, doh,.,. i found it on an ubuntu related site,. but just as i pm's the guy who made it, he left for work,. so could be 12 hours or so before i fix it,.,.do you know how to add a splash screen to grub?
[04:14] <Plen0x> So, no one on the issue of selective sound with USB headset? I got alsa configured to use it as default device and everything
[04:15] <nemilar> geeze someone needs to file a bug report
[04:15] <Cin> nemilar: haha
[04:15] <Cin> i might fix it m'self
[04:15] <Scunizi> I've got a poor friend that still on xp running Thunderbird. With the creation  of new users, thunderbird went through the "profiles" setup. When finished all his old email had dissappeared. Anyone know how I can help him get it back?
[04:15] <Cin> "contribute" to the community etc..
[04:15] <kyleBAKED> whats the x program that will give you info on a keystroke, like the hex value of that key as its interpreted by the os
[04:15] <nemilar> Cin: maybe it's an ncurses bug though ?
[04:15] <nemilar> Cin: never really done any curses work, so I don't know
[04:16] <Cin> nemilar: could be, could be. i asked a friend to try his freebsd version and it did not crash, for what that's worth, heh
[04:16] <justin__> i use crossover office to play wow, and it works fine in gnome...but when i try to access it in the new KDE4 it will let me use the program, but there is no sound, i've tried searching for more info, but can't find it on the internet...i'm assuming it has something to do with the new kde4 sound system, but i don't know
[04:16] <nemilar> Cin: I'll try it on some other platforms, see what happens
[04:16] <Cin> nemilar: oki
[04:16] <Cin> i was resizing the window to put xclock in it, and then it coredump. i was like "lolwut"
[04:17] <nemilar> Cin: crashes in debian
[04:17] <Cin> nemilar: haha
[04:17] <nat6138> The only thing core dumping on me all the time is Squeeze.
[04:17] <Cin> nemilar: got any non-debian-derived-linuxes?
[04:17] <simps> is bitchx only able to run through the terminal?
[04:17] <simps> :\
[04:17] <nemilar> Cin: I'm about to try centOS next
[04:17] <Cin> nemilar: cool
[04:17] <bod_> !language | simps
[04:17] <ubotu> simps: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[04:18] <simps> *witchx
[04:18] <jeffMASTERflex> simps: terminal irc clients are awesome. try out weechat, you might enjoy it
[04:18] <Cin> nemilar: is `top' the same on every GN/Linux, or do they have their own versions?
[04:18] <simps> i don't like the terminal :P
[04:18] <soldats> bod_, bitchx is an app
[04:18] <aslan> nis there a way to see who last messaged me using ubotu?
[04:18] <jeffMASTERflex> Cin: some are linked to htop
[04:18] <bod_> soldats, oops,.,.still a non-family-friendly word
[04:18] <aslan> is there a way to see who last messaged me using ubotu?
[04:19] <nemilar> Cin: no crash in FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p10 (GENERIC)
[04:19] <Cin> nemilar: indeed
[04:20] <nemilar> Cin: got a couple testing in Gentoo and Cent now
[04:20] <Cin> nemilar: what about centos?
[04:20] <soldats> bod_, i agree but that app name has been used many times here. id say its ok to use it for reference of the app
[04:20] <simps> well i might go to bed and play around to get stuff working tomorrow
[04:20] <Cin> nemilar: ah, k
[04:20] <bod_> soldats, ok,.,. i didnt no about that app anyway,.sorry
[04:20] <soldats> its ok :P
[04:20] <bod_> soldats, me thoughts he was dissin xchat
[04:20] <soldats> lol
[04:21] <nemilar> Cin: works in gentoo
[04:21] <Cin> nemilar: works == does not crash?
[04:21] <dn4> would a webcrawler work?
[04:21] <nemilar> Cin: affirmative
[04:21] <Cin> cool
[04:21] <Cin> nemilar: must just be a debian thing
[04:21] <codyduncan> okay
[04:21] <codyduncan> so
[04:21] <nemilar> silly debians
[04:21] <codyduncan> I've returned
[04:21] <nemilar> Cin: does not crash in centos
[04:22] <codyduncan> to restate my problem:
[04:22] <codyduncan> Having read multiple pages in the wiki, and finding either no answers, or answers that lead to dead ends (as in no solution, or a solution that I apparently do not have the ability to implement), I am still facing the same problem, namely, I am unable to connect to wifi.  I recognize, after browsing the forums for the last two days, that this is a very common problem, but alas, none of the suggested solutions seemed to be right for my situation.
[04:22] <codyduncan> So, I am using Gutsy, on an AMD64, and using a Broadcom 4318 wireless card.  Upon first booting Ubuntu (the only OS on my laptop, as I ditched windows all together in search of greener pastures [greener even than those seen in the default XP desktop background]) I found that network manager was not recognizing any wireless networks.
[04:22] <codyduncan> I tried using restricted drivers to install the firmware for my card, and while that made it such that wireless networks were found (so I assume my card was working to some degree)  I was not able to connect to my own network.  Each time I tried to connect, the key wouldn't go through.  I'm now guessing that my best bet is to go the route of ndiswrapper, but I'm confused about how to go about using this.
[04:22] <nemilar> Cin: have you tried it in Konsole?
[04:22] <Cin> nemilar: no, i tried it in gnome-terminal
[04:22] <bardyr> codyduncan, use ndiswrapper with the windows xp drivers, broadcome support in linux sucks really but works great with ndiswrapper
[04:23] <nemilar> I'm gonna try it in konsole now
[04:23] <bazhang> codyduncan: have you read up on using ndiswrapper?
[04:23] <codyduncan> I've read
[04:23] <Cin> nemilar: what terminals were centos and gentoo tried in?
[04:23] <codyduncan> but either something was screwy, or I am too inexperienced to make sense of it
[04:23] <nemilar> Cin: gentoo was gnome-terminal, centos was in konsole
[04:23] <codyduncan> and also
[04:23] <Cin> ah, i see
[04:24] <codyduncan> I found so many different methods online, it seemed, to use ndiswrapper, that I wasn't sure which to follow
[04:24] <bazhang> !ndiswrapper
[04:24] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:24] <soldats> kyleBAKED, was your question answered
[04:24] <nemilar> Cin: yeah, crashes in konsole on ubuntu, too
[04:24] <nemilar> def. a debian thing
[04:24] <codyduncan> so basically
[04:24] <nemilar> I am going to write them an angry letter!
[04:24] <codyduncan> I am now at the point to take on ndiswrapper
[04:24] <codyduncan> but I am not sure how to go about it
[04:25] <bod_> !enter | codyduncan
[04:25] <ubotu> codyduncan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:25] <codyduncan> I've looked at the wiki
[04:25] <Cin> nemilar: well. i might submit a bug report but i don't think it is -that- urgent, clearly it isn't so common otherwise it would've cropped up
[04:25] <codyduncan> understood.
[04:25] <bod_> thanks
[04:25] <bod_> codyduncan, the best documentation would be ubuntu docs
[04:25] <bazhang> best  read up on it further codyduncan unless someone here wants to walk you through it step by step
[04:25] <bod_> !ndiswrapper
[04:25] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:25] <bardyr> codyduncan, ndiswrapper is really easy, apt-get install build-essentials, then download the latest release and make && sudo make install it
[04:25] <bod_> codyduncan, found in there
[04:27] <codyduncan> I don't want to hassle anyone, but if anyone can send me to a difinitive source, I mean one that isn't going to send me all over the place until I find myself back where I started, that would be appreciated.  If I still am bewildered, I will come back, tail between my legs, looking for a kind heart to lead me along.
[04:27] <sior> hi!
[04:27] <narg> Does anyone know of a tool that will check to see if an mp3 is corrupted?
[04:27] <bod_> hi
[04:27] <phuzion> Ok, I'm looking to move my uTorrent settings to my uTorrent in Ubuntu, where would I place them?
[04:27] <phuzion> I'm running uTorrent under wine
[04:27] <navaburo> When I start another window manager on my second X screen it steals the keyboard. How do I get it to share the kbd between screens?
[04:29] <tatami> I have installed frostwire, but when I click on the application to run it, nothing happens
[04:29] <navaburo> tatami, try running it from a terminal
[04:29] <amigappc> ha, no i can ask my question again
[04:29] <tatami> I appear to have java installed though, i have java-gcj-compat installed
[04:29] <amigappc> i need some help with my laptop and ubuntu because i got no sound
[04:29] <bazhang> http://www.grillbar.org/wordpress/?p=176 codyduncan
[04:29] <tatami> navaburo: that would be "frostwire" in term?
[04:30] <navaburo> probably
[04:30] <tatami> You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com
[04:30] <phuzion> !mp3

[04:30] <nemilar> Cin: yeah, nobody makes their top that small
[04:30] <bazhang> codyduncan: just substitute your drivers for the one in the walkthrough
[04:30] <Ubuntu_User451> Is it possible to see remote SSH sessions in the terminal?
[04:31] <codyduncan> bazhang superb
[04:31] <tatami> Okay, how do install a .bin file/
[04:31] <amigappc> i need help because i have complett NO SOUND
[04:32] <[deXter]> How can one install unbutu from an ISO file within windows, directly, without using any external bootable device?
[04:32] <bazhang> back in a bit
[04:32] <|ns|nR8> vmware i believe [deXter]
[04:32]  * Ubuntu_User451 over and out... this IRC client is hard to look at
[04:33] <[deXter]> Without VMware
[04:33] <[deXter]> I know there's a way.. I read about it somewhere but I can't find it anymore..
[04:33] <tatami> How do i handle the JRE .bin file/
[04:33] <soldats> maybe using alcohol 120 and mounting the image but i dont know if it will work you need to have it partitioned
[04:33] <Jimche> Hey Does any1 know or understand how to use WINE ?
[04:34] <joeb3_> tatami, chmod 755 file.bin.  then ./file.bin
[04:34] <nat6138> Jimche: Download a .exe and open it with wine.
[04:34] <joeb3_> tatami, assuming it is not already executable.
[04:34] <spiffman> hi all, i have serious issues... what should i do if gnome login crashes whenever it tries to open?
[04:35] <Jimche> yeh but when i use it the program comes up with computer language
[04:35] <soldats> Jimche, might be a good question in #winehq
[04:35] <Jimche> ahh ok thanks
[04:36] <spiffman> is there some way to "reset" gnome, or change the desktop manager I'm using through terminal?
[04:36] <soldats> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:36] <tatami> joeb3_: thanks. Can you explain to me what is chmod, and why did I have to use it on a bin if some of them are executable?
[04:36] <soldats> will restart gnome
[04:37] <soldats> tatami, chmod changes permissions so a certain user can access them
[04:37] <tatami> soldats: ahh... thats wierd, I would expect it just to prompt me for a sudo password
[04:38] <joeb3_> tatami, the last time I downloaded java, the bin file was not executable.
[04:38] <spiffman> soldats: thanks, but restarting isn't the issue... gnome refuses to open. If i go through terminal and type xstart, i get "error starting GNOME" and almost nothing works
[04:38] <phuzion> How would I make a shortcut on my desktop to a win32 application that I need to run through Wine?
[04:38] <soldats> spiffman, is there any X11 errors or xorg errors
[04:38] <tatami> huh...
[04:38] <tatami> wow frostwire still ownt ruN!
[04:39] <tatami> "OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE. FrostWire works best with Sun JRE available at http://www.java.com
[04:39] <tatami> OOPS, unable to locate java exec in  /usr/lib/  hierarchy
[04:39] <tatami> You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com
[04:39] <tatami> ls: /usr/java/j*: No such file or directory
[04:39] <tatami> OOPS, unable to locate java exec in  /usr/java/  hierarchy
[04:39] <tatami> You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com
[04:39] <FloodBot1> tatami: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:39] <spiffman> soldats: just the gnome settings daemon error
[04:39] <lgc> Hi. Is someone knowledgeable with sending faxes?
[04:39] <guest22> Does anyone know what's happened to launchpad.net? (I'm referring to the strange character substitutions on all pages.) Has it been hacked?
[04:39] <soldats> spiffman, when did this happen and what were you doing when it happened
[04:40] <spiffman> soldats: one time it said that the greeting screen is crashing, another time it kept trying and eventually gave me the ubuntu blue screen of death
[04:40] <patogen> How can I check the health of a laptop?
[04:41] <soldats> spiffman, so are you in terminal right now
[04:41] <patogen> I might get one that is used.. and it seems to be ok
[04:41] <patogen> But I want to know if it's really ...
[04:41] <soldats> patogen, that question might be better said in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:42] <Brainwave> #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:42] <lgc> !fax
[04:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fax - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[04:43] <patogen> soldats: Why is that? I need some software from within ubuntu to check it ...
[04:43] <spiffman> I was messing with glib and gtk+... installed them both, when i restarted all went to hell... so in terminal i uninstalled them, but nothing was fixed
[04:43] <spiffman> ^ for soldats
[04:43] <amigappc> anybody can help me with my laptop and no sound problem ?
[04:43] <zanegdff> hi
[04:43] <Scunizi> lgc whats your question
[04:44] <pariah> hey
[04:44] <zanegdff> someone help me please
[04:44] <VvWolverinevV> hi, i have a big problem, i uninstalled kubuntu-desktop and everything that came with it, and when i restarted i couldn't use my mouse or my keyboard!
[04:44] <kezzy> hey
[04:44] <EnsignRedshirt> !someone
[04:44] <ubotu> 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?
[04:44] <soldats> patogen, well first you should keep your question to 1 line. also if most of the time if everything works fine its probly ok. if youwant to check to see if it works with ubuntu download the livecd for the correct architecture and run the livecd to make sure everything runs properly
[04:44] <zanegdff> the iso image when you open it there are no exe files how to install then
[04:44] <VvWolverinevV> wait, nvm, it just took a long time to regain control, lol
[04:45] <zanegdff> please help
[04:45] <kezzy> Is there a way to boot my current windows installation inside ubuntu using a virtual machine or something of that sort? Not a fresh install of xp
[04:45] <spiffman> soldats: i also tried deleting some .conf files, but the problem doesn't seem to pertain to configuration... is there a way to salvage it or am i looking at an os reinstall?
[04:45] <bod_> zanegdff,  an iso is an exact image of a cd
[04:45] <bod_> zanegdff, you burn it to a cd then use it like an original cd
[04:45] <zanegdff> but then how do i  install i do not have a cd writer
[04:46] <soldats> spiffman, a nasty solution is to remove gdm via "sudo aptitude remove gdm" then after that do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[04:46] <venger_> kezzy, try out virtualbox
[04:46] <kezzy> thats..impressive zanegdff
[04:46] <guest22> What's happened to launchpad.net? (I'm referring to the strange character substitutions on all pages.) Has it been hacked?
[04:46] <venger_> amigappc, does your sound card show up in aplay -l?
[04:46] <zanegdff> yes
[04:46] <kezzy> Vanger, I was just look at that, Will it boot any windows installation, even from another HDD?
[04:46] <codyduncan> so, while trying to install ndiswrapper, based on instructions from http://www.grillbar.org/wordpress/?p=176 , I get the following error upon tring to apt-get ndiswrapper: "unable to find a source package for ndiswrapper"
[04:46] <zanegdff> yes
[04:46] <patogen> soldats: Well yes it works fine ... it was slow to install but it works like a charm ... but I want to know like the disks risk of hardware failure...
[04:47] <Scunizi> guest22 looks fine from my end
[04:47] <soldats> spiffman, you might be able to try the second command i gave you first if you want to keet the graphic display manager for the login. otherwise try to remove gdm as well
[04:47] <amigappc> venger_:  maybe, he shows something up ... HDA Intel ...
[04:47] <soldats> patogen, how old is it
[04:48] <kezzy> I thought virtualbox only works with fresh installs of xp, I didnt know you were able to point it at your old windows parition
[04:48] <patogen> soldats: I'm not sure ... 3-4 years
[04:48] <bullgard4> What progam will create a 'machine object', for example /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/kfileshare.mo, and what is its purpose or use?
[04:48] <soldats> patogen, has it been dropped at all
[04:48] <patogen> soldats: Not that I know of
[04:48] <venger_> kezzy, not that i know of, have you checked their FAQ?  i'd imagine you'd have to image or convert it somehow
[04:48] <guest22> Scunizi: Nothing strange at all? For example, on the top level page, I see "Delete packages erom yotr PPA" and "Branch eeeds".
[04:48] <spiffman> soldats: k i uninstalled gdm and tried that other line, but i'm still in the same boat... i'll try a restart and see if anything changes
[04:49] <codyduncan> I need help with an error I got trying to apt-get ndiswrapper "Unable to find a source package for ndiswrapper"
[04:49] <kezzy> venger, You think its possible though? and No I havent checked that.
[04:49] <Scunizi> guest22: nope.. looks very normal
[04:49] <soldats> patogen,  well firstly id listen to the hdd spin up and make sure it sounds "not TOO loud" also when its spinning make sure it doesnt get TOO hot
[04:49] <venger_> kezzy, thats where i'd start virtualbox.org i do believe
[04:50] <kezzy> Sounds good venger, if I dont find anything there, Ill be back
[04:50] <jedounet> j'ai cru ke j'allai jamais y arriver
[04:50] <guest22> Scunizi: Strange, must be some local configuration issue. Thanks.
[04:50] <Scunizi> guest22: np
[04:50] <zylstra555> Hello, Apt-get keeps prompting for my Linux CD. I have a perfectly good internet connection, and a not so great CD drive... how do I get it to just download from the internet, and not attempt to copy from the CD?
[04:50] <venger_> amigappc, so you do show something?
[04:50] <soldats> spiffman, the second command i gave you will attempt to recreate the xorg.conf to something that is useable. so a restart is a must but when you login it will be in textmode until you try startx again
[04:50] <spiffman> soldats: gdm uninstall finished successfully, but nothing was fixed...
[04:50] <ArthurArchnix> In add/remove, under preferences, you can uncheck the box beside CDROM to make it stop using it.
[04:51] <Scunizi> zylstra555: check your repository lists and uncheck CD as an option
[04:51] <phuzion> my logitech marble mouse has these buttons on it that are usually configured to click back and forward in browsers automatically, but now it doesn't work.  Any ideas on how to get them working in at least firefox?
[04:51] <amigappc> venger_: Karte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], Gerät 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog]
[04:51] <zylstra555> I dont have a GUI... using the terminal only
[04:51] <ArthurArchnix> zylstra555: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:51] <ArthurArchnix> zylstra555: Comment out the cd.
[04:51] <patogen> soldats: I check that ... but I would like to know if there's some software that can check the vitality of the hardware
[04:51] <soldats> phuzion, what were you doing when it stopped working
[04:51] <spiffman> soldats: ok i understand what the lines you sent me do, but restarting and doing a new xstart still brings me to the ssame spot
[04:52] <zylstra555> ArthurArchnix: Deb CDROM:
[04:52] <phuzion> soldats, it never worked
[04:52] <phuzion> soldats, in ubuntu, that is
[04:52] <ArthurArchnix> zylstra555: Yeah.
[04:52] <venger_> amigappc, have you messed with alsa mixer yet, also you can test /usr/share/sounds/alsa files using aplay
[04:52] <zylstra555> ArthurArchnix: Thanks
[04:53] <bod_> phuzion, same problem here
[04:53] <zylstra555> testing...
[04:53] <soldats> phuzion, well there are options i believe for that, that you can edit in the xorg.conf but i cant remember what site i found it on. oogle might help for xorg.conf configuration
[04:53] <EnsignRedshirt> zylstra555: Don't forget to 'sudo apt-get update' after you change the file.
[04:53] <ArthurArchnix> zylstra555: No problem. You'll have to update before upgrading or installing so that apt knows not to look at your cdrom
[04:53] <amigappc> venger_: i can play sounds, but i hear nothing.
[04:53] <bod_> soldats, ive tried that,.,.it doesnt work,.,.i have the same problem
[04:53] <zylstra555> EnsignRedshirt: Already did.
[04:53] <zylstra555> Success! Thanks everyone!
[04:54] <venger_> amigappc, run alsamixer in a term and up all the volume knobs
[04:54] <soldats> amigappc, whats the prob again
[04:54] <soldats> err nevermind
[04:54] <Dusti[n]> i wanna make use of my computer now that i have linux. any ideas on what i should get into?
[04:54] <amigappc> soldats:
[04:54] <bod_> Dusti[n], programming
[04:54] <soldats> amigappc, do what venger_ said
[04:54] <amigappc> soldats: i have no sound. i have turned all volume up
[04:54] <phuzion> Dusti[n], Is there anything you did a lot of on Windows?  If so, continue doing it on Ubuntu
[04:54] <soldats> amigappc, is your voulume manager set to use alsa
[04:55] <amigappc> venger_: i did it 20 times ... with the alsamixergui i saw, that i cant turn IEC958 up. the arent up and i cant turn them up
[04:55] <amigappc> soldats: jepp it is
[04:55] <Dusti[n]> well i kinda ment server wise. isnt linux good for that?
[04:55] <bod_> Dusti[n], the server edition is
[04:55] <venger_> amigappc, IEC958 should be for a spdif fiber optic connection
[04:56] <bullgard4> What progam will create a 'machine object', for example /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/kfileshare.mo, and what is its purpose or use?
[04:56] <sketzski> evening everyone. i have what i think will be an easily answered question (hoping). how do i get ubuntu to update Rhythmbox to the latest version?
[04:56] <Dusti[n]> whats the diffrence?
[04:56] <bod_> Dusti[n], ones for home use,. the others for being a server
[04:56] <venger_> amigappc, do you have some headphones or something as an alternate test?
[04:56] <soldats> amigappc, so im sure you did everything the forums told you to do right
[04:56] <amigappc> venger_: and the other conexant CX20549 (venice) is up
[04:57] <Dusti[n]> obvious, but what makes them good for home or server
[04:57] <amigappc> yeah i have a headset. i will plug it in
[04:58] <amigappc> venger_: so i plug it in and i hear nothing
[04:59] <venger_> soldats, do you remember that alsa setup command that lets you pick the sound device?
[04:59] <jc> can anyone help me with installing wine?  More specifically I had to uninstall it and then when I reinstalled it from the repository there is no menu option for it under the applications menu
[04:59] <barex> hi....................
[04:59] <Dusti[n]> jc: did you use the add/remove tool?
[04:59] <kezzy> well, no one is answering in the vbox channal, and I'm not seeing anything about it under their FAQ
[05:00] <kezzy> damn it
[05:00] <jc> Dusti[n]: No I just Synaptic
[05:00] <spiffman> soldats: i guess it comes down to reinstalling ubuntu... *sigh*... anything else i should try?
[05:00] <soldats> venger_, "alsamixer -options" is to do that
[05:00] <stunatra> jc, sometimes you have to logout and login again for that to take effect.
[05:01] <oboy03> hey guys
[05:01] <jc> stunatra: tried that no good
[05:01] <Dusti[n]> hello
[05:01] <soldats> spiffman, you could try "sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop"
[05:01] <oboy03> does anybody here experience corrupt updates?
[05:01] <oboy03> im using 7.10
[05:01] <Dusti[n]> nope
[05:01] <soldats> i dont update so no.
[05:01] <ArthurArchnix> oboy03: Try switching to the main servers.
[05:01] <barex> hi, anyone know what the best multimedia player 4 ogg,mp3,mp4,mpeg, etc??
[05:01] <spiffman> soldats: that gives me "invalid operation reinstall"
[05:01] <jc> Dusti[n]: I also used apt-get install wine after a apt-get remove wine --purge
[05:01] <stunatra> barex, VLC
[05:01] <EnsignRedshirt> jc:  Maybe this has changed in the latest versions of Ubuntu, but when I last used wine, it was only a command line program.
[05:02] <barex> stunatra, where i can get it?
[05:02] <soldats> spiffman, maybe "sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop"
[05:02] <stunatra> barex, it should be in the repos.
[05:02] <oboy03> im updating this libpcre3
[05:02] <oboy03> and it says that the installer is corrupt
[05:02] <oboy03> i updated again and the same thing happens
[05:03] <Dusti[n]> jc: I just used the add/remove utility thenupdated from there
[05:03] <ArthurArchnix> oboy03: Do, sudo apt-get clean
[05:03] <ArthurArchnix> oboy03: Then try again.
[05:03] <oboy03> kk thanks
[05:03] <jc> Dusti[n]: ok I'll give that a try I'll remove it again the then try the add/remove to get it again
[05:04] <dbmood1> hi quick q is there a 64bit version of gutsy for an intel chip - i'm new to 64bit just read em64 in bios -rofl
[05:04] <dbmood1> -can i use the amd64 thing or ...
[05:04] <barex> stunatra, can i get it in live-mode?
[05:04] <oboy03> thanks arthur thate solved it
[05:04] <Dusti[n]> jc; kk i had that problem before also, but when i use the add/remove it worked fine for me
[05:04] <stunatra> barex, live mode?
[05:04] <oboy03> i gotta have a notebook on these commands
[05:05] <ArthurArchnix> oboy03: No problem. That command clears out downloaded installations.
[05:05] <spiffman> soldats: thanks a ton, but i think there are more than a few things messing up, aptitude doesn't even find ubuntu-desktop, nor does it let me install it. i'm going for the reinstall, hooray for coffee!
[05:05] <Genjimoto> how do i easily switch between Xorg and Xgl X11 servers??
[05:05] <oboy03> does any body know if open arena work on ubuntu? as well as VDRIFT?
[05:05] <soldats> spiffman, ok man. im sure aptitude should work but i dont remember the name for ubuntu-desktop
[05:06] <dbmood1> !64
[05:06] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.
[05:06] <barex> stunatra, i mean live-mode-cd, before installing
[05:06] <stunatra> barex, I don't believe so.
[05:07] <dbmood1> wait so i use the amd64 iso ?
[05:07] <naitse2> hi
[05:07] <amigappc> soldats: alsamixer -options get a "alsamixer: invalid option -- o"
[05:07] <soldats> spiffman, i guess if nothing else has worked a reinstall should do it
[05:07] <naitse2> there is any way to install ubuntu from a linux bootdisk like slackware?
[05:07] <oboy03> how do i install *.package files
[05:08] <zetheroo> is there an irc room for crossover office?
[05:08] <jc> Dusti[n]: ugg I can't reinstall from add/remove I'll try logging off and logging back on and see if that helps be right back
[05:09] <ArthurArchnix> oboy03: What's a package file?
[05:10] <naitse2>  there is any way to install ubuntu from a linux bootdisk like slackware?
[05:10] <dbmood1> maybe
[05:10] <naitse2> without cdrom or internet
[05:10] <dbmood1> you can debootstrap no ?
[05:10] <sam__>  can someone send me a link so i can  get macromedia flash to work on ubuntu 7.1?
[05:10] <dbmood1> oh that ... no you can't really - you need net or a networked thing
[05:10] <sam__> please
[05:11] <astro76> !flashissue | sam__
[05:11] <ubotu> sam__: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[05:11] <oboy03> ArthurArchnix: i downloaded vdrift, it has a file extension .package
[05:11] <sam__> so flash doesnt work in ubuntu
[05:11] <sam__> what a piece of junk
[05:11] <oboy03> it works on me
[05:12] <chris__> what??
[05:12] <chris__> Flash does work.
[05:12] <sam__> how?
[05:12] <fatedkiss> sam__, 64 bit ubuntu
[05:12] <dbmood1> flash does work sam
[05:12] <gidim> Depends on the flash.
[05:12] <sam__> how do i get it to work
[05:12] <chris__> What version of Ubuntu do you use?
[05:12] <sam__> youtube frezes my box
[05:12] <oboy03> try to watch a video in youtube
[05:12] <soldats> amigappc, the best i can say is man alsamixer or man amixer. there is someone here who is very good with alsa but he hasnt shown up yet. look for crimsun and ask him. sorry i cant help you more
[05:12] <oboy03> then there is a link there for flash
[05:12] <chris__> Your probably using the outdated plugin.
[05:12] <gidim> Gnash is good.
[05:12] <chris__> Do you have compiz enabled?
[05:12] <chris__> !flash | sam__
[05:12] <ubotu> sam__: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash

[05:13] <venger_> soldats, i was recalling alsaconf which is in alsa-utils but its on debian.  i'm not sure what else to he could do other than find an ubuntu guide
[05:13] <soldats> !sound > amigappc just make sure youve done all of these steps first
[05:13] <gidim> Flash was easy to get working on 64-bit Gutsy . . . now getting Wine to play EQ on the other hand...
[05:13] <oboy03> anyone here playing vdrift on ubuntu?
[05:14] <codyduncan> I'm trying to install ndiswrapper, but am having trouble with some directions, someone wanna help me out?
[05:14] <sam__> i need a simple way to install flash
[05:14] <kezzy> haha Gidim
[05:14] <codyduncan> should be simple, the instructions say to run a few commands in a directory
[05:14] <jordan17> hay is any one here good with installing programs from source that would volunteer to help me out ????
[05:14] <sam__> cant someone just post a url that i can click on and it will work
[05:14] <gidim> But GuildWars worked flawlessly, how's that for irony?
[05:14] <soldats> venger_, im not sure. i havent messed with my sound card configuration since gentoo. in ubuntu it worked out of the box
[05:14] <dbmood1> SAM
[05:14] <dbmood1> cool it
[05:14] <dbmood1> do you want flash ?
[05:14] <dbmood1> !flash

[05:14] <ArthurArchnix> oboy03: I found some info on package http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/    It also tells you how to install it.
[05:14] <kezzy> Sam, things arent that easy.
[05:14] <codyduncan> how does one go about running a command in a directory?
[05:14] <cube_> !offtopic
[05:14] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:15] <soldats> sam__, go to the adobe site and install the flash tar.gz and follow the directions
[05:15] <oboy03> thanks again arthur
[05:15] <spiffman> codyduncan! sup man, its alfredo!
[05:15] <gidim> I swear, if I could get EQ working in Gutsy under Wine, I'd wipe my Windows partition. :D
[05:15] <pranith> hi guys
[05:15] <codyduncan> fredo!
[05:15] <dbmood1> 32-bit packages: The Ubuntu 7.10 package is available here. Just download the package for your release, double-click the file, and install the package. For other releases, download and extract this archive and double-click the corresponding file to your release.
[05:15] <spiffman> aahaha
[05:15] <kezzy> haha no kidding gidim
[05:15] <pranith> can anyone tell me how to use gtalk in linux?
[05:15] <kezzy> thats the ONLY reason im running windows right now
[05:15] <ArthurArchnix> oboy03: You juts have to scroll down. Essentially, you should just execute the package file.
[05:15] <dbmood1> sorry for the paste but sam is spamming this channel
[05:15] <kezzy> god damned games
[05:15] <pranith> i mean any alternative for that?
[05:15] <gidim> Me too. Ubuntu will save us, in time.
[05:16] <venger_> soldats, thats why i'm running ubuntu to get spoiled and stupid
[05:16] <kezzy> you may be the person i should ask this gidim
[05:16] <kezzy> know how I would boot my old windows parition in ubuntu using virutal box or anything of that sort?
[05:16] <gidim> I just don't feel like shelling out for Cedega when I paid for the games, playing them should not cost me more, unless the game states otherwise.
[05:16] <jeffMASTERflex> pranith: pidgin has a jabber account setting to configure your gtalk account
[05:16] <kezzy> cedega?
[05:16] <codyduncan> spiffman in the lab coding?
[05:16] <gidim> Wine with cutting-edge support for a monthly fee.
[05:16] <pranith> jeffMASTERflex, i want to use VOIP, to make calls
[05:16] <kezzy> oh boo
[05:16] <gidim> It's a fork.
[05:16] <gidim> But more games work with it.
[05:17] <soldats> venger_, lol, i switch back and forth. i still love the "other" one
[05:17] <kezzy> war3?
[05:17] <jeffMASTERflex> pranith: nope sorry, can't help there
[05:17] <spiffman> codyduncan not quite... my computer went insane
[05:17] <kezzy> cause thats what I want
[05:17] <pranith> :(
[05:17] <gidim> And by paying, you get to tell them what games you want them to work on next.
[05:17] <kezzy> although gridwars keeps me happy for hours
[05:17] <pranith> jeffMASTERflex, what about tapioca?
[05:17] <kezzy> haha well that'd be nice
[05:17] <gidim> WarCraft 3 works in Cedega last I saw.
[05:17] <pranith> jeffMASTERflex, does'nt it work?
[05:17] <kezzy> how well though?
[05:17] <codyduncan> mine is just still dumb
[05:17] <gidim> It's $5 a month if I remember right.
[05:17] <fatedkiss> anyone know the syntax for termianl so i can change what java plugin im using?
[05:17] <kezzy> ooo
[05:17] <kezzy> thats not too bad
[05:17] <gidim> I just don't feel like paying that.
[05:17] <kezzy> lazy
[05:17] <jeffMASTERflex> pranith: i know nothin of tapioca or voip software, sorry
[05:17] <gidim> That's how they get you.
[05:17] <kezzy> true
[05:18] <gidim> I already pay $30 a month for two EQ accounts. I play on FV.
[05:18] <codyduncan> though, I am digging this new setup, even without wireless or flash
[05:18] <spiffman> what you trying to do?
[05:18] <sam__> cAN I PUT IE7 ON UBUNTU?
[05:18] <kezzy> I played on xegony when i played
[05:18] <kezzy> you can
[05:18] <codyduncan> I'm trying to setup ndiswrapper so I can use a windows driver for my wireless card
[05:18] <kezzy> but why?
[05:18] <zetheroo> is there an irc chat for crossover office?
[05:18] <kezzy> why in gods name would you put IE7 on ubuntu?
[05:18] <singlesun> LOL
[05:18] <gidim> IE7 is evil.
[05:18] <singlesun> wow... fun time to step in here.. LOL
[05:18] <gidim> Why do people put Windows on an Apple?
[05:18] <EnsignRedshirt> kezzy: To test web pages...
[05:18] <gidim> Just to do it.
[05:18] <kezzy> very true
[05:18] <kezzy> oh shh ensign
[05:19] <ganesh> help me to update the grub when i copied a filesystem into another partition...
[05:19] <kezzy> thats not a good reason
[05:19] <zetheroo> sam__: why would you want to use IE7 in Ubuntu ?
[05:19] <soldats> !ot > gidim
[05:19] <kezzy> gidim, 50 Cleric is the highest i got.
[05:19] <soldats> !ot > kezzy
[05:19] <spiffman> exciting... i may have to come over soon to get the ubuntu install disk and reinstall it completely...
[05:19] <kezzy> oh fine soldats.
[05:19] <bkar> when one does a command    compiz --replace gconf   does it replace gconf? how one would get it back to gconf? am not sure what is being replaced
[05:19] <spiffman> still haven't given up quite yet
[05:19] <codyduncan> yeah, you left that here
[05:20] <singlesun> lol... ok... i will change this topic.... umm... away from IE7 and ubuntu... does anyone know if there is a decent GUI based app python related for ubuntu?
[05:20] <crdlb> bkar: no, not exactly ...
[05:20] <codyduncan> me neither
[05:20] <jeffMASTERflex> bkar: instead of using gconf for configuration, compiz would use its own config files
[05:20] <crdlb> bkar: gconf is the plugin you're starting compiz with (you really should just leave that off and let it use ccp automatically)
[05:20] <soldats> singlesun, huh. most of the apps in ubuntu are written in python
[05:20] <joeKr> I was trying to share my wireless card ra0 via eth0 for another PC without wireless (like "Internet Connection Sharing" in Windows) and I have somehow created (in ifconfig) ra0:avahi and wmaster0-00, and now my wireless doesn't work.  What did I do, how can I restore wireless, and how can I share wireless?
[05:20] <crdlb> bkar: compiz is replacing the official gnome window manager, metacity
[05:20] <soldats> crdlb, metacity --replace
[05:21] <bkar> crdlb and to get back the metacity is metacity --replace?
[05:21] <singlesun> soldats, i mean... how do you launch the interactive interface to do programming in python on ubuntu... i just switched over from winblows a little while ago
[05:21] <crdlb> bkar: yup
[05:21] <crdlb> bkar: or just use System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects
[05:21] <crdlb> setting it to None will start metacity
[05:21] <codyduncan> so how does one run a command in a directory?
[05:21] <bkar> crdlb okay thank you, i just dont want to make this as permanent changes
[05:21] <singlesun> soldats, is there a gui based app you can use... instead of running python in term?
[05:21] <spiffman> what kind of command? like a shell command?
[05:22] <soldats> singlesun, open a terminal and type python. youll get the python interface. if you want the gui-ish one youll need to install "idle"
[05:22] <codyduncan> remember who you're talking to
[05:22] <ganesh> help me to update the grub when i copied a filesystem into another partition...
[05:22] <crdlb> bkar: so run 'compiz --replace'
[05:22] <crdlb> no gconf
[05:22] <spiffman> hehe... ok... what IS the command
[05:22] <bkar> crdlb-> okay thanks
[05:22] <codyduncan> I don't know, I am following instructions on http://www.grillbar.org/wordpress/?p=176 that someone directed me to
[05:22] <singlesun> soldats, yeah... that is what i was referring to.... i will check out this idle package real quick. ;) thx man
[05:22] <codyduncan> the command is there
[05:22] <kezzy> how I would boot my old windows parition in ubuntu using virutal box or anything of that sort?
[05:22] <codyduncan> basically, I extracted the .tar for ndiswrapper
[05:22] <soldats> codyduncan, cd /path/to/dir then run whatever command you want
[05:23] <gidi1> I never do that, I merely mount the partition. I don't want to run a Windows VM under Ubuntu.
[05:23] <codyduncan> and need to take it from there
[05:23] <gidi1> I also made sure all my partitions are FAT32 for maximum compatibility.
[05:23] <EnsignRedshirt> ouch
[05:23] <kezzy> good idea, but you see, I play games
[05:23] <gidi1> It's sad, but it had to be done. I miss EXT3.
[05:23] <bkar> kezzy-> not booting your old partition, you have to install an xp on a virtual box vdi or vmware  vdmk virtual disk
[05:23] <kezzy> which is where it hits me
[05:23] <spiffman> ok... you already did the remove command?
[05:23] <kezzy> theres no way to boot an already installed version of windows?
[05:24] <codyduncan> removed the old ndiswrapper, yes
[05:24] <singlesun> soldats, thx man ... thats exactly what i was looking for ;)
[05:24] <soldats> singlesun, cool
[05:24] <bkar> kezzy-> not from a virtual box or vmware
[05:24] <codyduncan> when I tried to apt-get the ndiswrapper I got an error
[05:24] <kezzy> damn it.
[05:24] <spiffman> what error?
[05:25] <bkar> kezzy-> however you can mount those old partitions within virtualbox or vmware
[05:25] <bkar> just cant attempt to boot of it
[05:25] <bkar> off of*
[05:25] <codyduncan> I tried again, and got "Unable to find a source package for ndiswrapper"
[05:26] <jc> Dusti[n]: well I've rebooted and when I look under add/Remove I can't select wine
[05:26] <kezzy> mounting them in vbox would only allow me to edit the files
[05:26] <kezzy> not run programs
[05:26] <kezzy> correct?
[05:26] <bkar> correcto mundo
[05:27] <bkar> wait, maybe it wil, like you're network accessing a file..i have not tried though..you can try and let us know
[05:27] <spiffman> try 'sudo apt-get update' and then try again
[05:28] <codyduncan> same problem
[05:28] <kezzy> well if it doesnt work
[05:28] <kezzy> im just buying cedega
[05:29] <venger_> kezzy if you have an nvidia card try your luck with wine, some games actually run such as Lotro
[05:29] <sixpence> kezzy: Pfft Buying Cedega? Nice.
[05:30] <adelie42> is there an easy way to set bindings for a 10 button mouse other than messing with the xorg.conf?
[05:30] <jc> spiffman: I don't know if you were replying to me, but I tried the apt-get update and I still can not select wine from add/remove
[05:30] <phuzion> Is it possible to move an install of firefox from windows to linux with all of the bookmarks, extensions, etc?
[05:31] <spiffman> jc: i wasn't, sorry :P
[05:31] <kezzy> Venger_ Its the ammount of games im playing, Hellgate london, UT3, Warcraft 3, planetside, etc
[05:31] <kezzy> so theres so many i need Really good support
[05:31] <adelie42> jc: had the same problem. don't know why, but if you just use synaptic package manager from the system -> administration menu, and search for wine, it works just fine
[05:31] <kezzy> Sixpence, Yessssss
[05:31] <jc> spiffman: thats ok it was worht the try anyway
[05:31] <sixpence> kezzy: ... hah
[05:32] <gidi1> At least you didn't say WoW.
[05:32] <kezzy> sixpence : I need the game lovin, or imma be a windows whore forever
[05:32] <adelie42> kezzy: you would likely be best to get a subscription to cedega
[05:32] <codyduncan> yeah man, no dice, same error "Unable to find a source package for ndiswrapper"
[05:32] <spiffman> cody, i'm gonna find out where the ndiswrapper repositories are, that'll let you get the dependencies
[05:32] <kezzy> Gidi1 : Ive already done that, 53 troll rogue
[05:32] <kezzy> Adelie42 : Thats what I'm thinking.
[05:32] <jc> adelie42: but when I install it that way there I don't get the menu option for wine installed
[05:32] <adelie42> jc: menu option?
[05:33] <sixpence> kezzy: What game? What's the problem?
[05:33] <gidi1> I refuse to bend to Cedega. I will get my games working in Wine all by myself or die trying.
[05:33] <kezzy> Sixpence : ubuntu hates games
[05:33] <kezzy> Sixpence : or rather, windows hates ubuntu
[05:33] <sixpence> kezzy: What game?
[05:33] <IndyGunFreak> kezzy: its not that ubuntu hates games, if you have Linux games, they run fine, its better to say Game makers hate linux
[05:34] <gidi1> Ubuntu means what? Humanity to others, death to games?
[05:34] <venger_> jc: wine doesn't show up for me on add/remove, did you try synaptic ?
[05:34] <jc> adelie42: this is the second time I've installed, the first time (I don't remember how I installed it) I ended up with a wine section under the applications menu which had a nice Programs subsection with my installed programs in it
[05:34] <kezzy> Gidi1 : Sorry, im a bitch for the easy route
[05:34] <kezzy> Sixpence : war3, UT3, hellgate, vangaurd, a ton of other games
[05:34] <gidi1> If I wanted the easy route, I'd be a happy Windows user and not a reluctant Windows user.
[05:35] <sixpence> kezzy: UT3 is going to have a Linux port
[05:35] <sixpence> kezzy: By War3 do you mean Warcraft 3?
[05:35] <kezzy> I do
[05:35] <gidi1> Yes.
[05:35] <kezzy> and thats impressive..
[05:35] <sixpence> kezzy: :-P Only a dislexic person couldn't get that workin on Linux.
[05:35] <kezzy> what?!
[05:35] <kezzy> dog damn it
[05:35] <kezzy> I mean god!
[05:35] <kezzy> ;_P
[05:35] <amr> hi
[05:36] <sixpence> kezzy: :-P
[05:36] <sixpence> kezzy: What problems you having with War3?
[05:36] <jc> venger_: It installs fro synaptic just no nice menu like before, I just don't remember how I got the nice menu the first time
[05:36] <kezzy> sixpence : no but really, how?
[05:36] <sixpence> kezzy: :-| There are tonnes of guides out there on the subject.
[05:36] <sixpence> Tonnnnes
[05:36] <kezzy> Sixpence, honestly I havent even tried it...cause i figured it wouldnt work
[05:36] <sixpence> kezzy: O.o
[05:37] <sixpence> kezzy: Then you may as well go back to Windows. Hell no, it's not going to work on your first try
[05:37] <kezzy> i always figured linux = no games
[05:37] <sixpence> kezzy: This is Linux, son.
[05:37] <sixpence> kezzy: Wow...
[05:37] <sixpence> kezzy: War3 will, in most cases, run better on Linux than Windows.
[05:37] <sixpence> As well as many other games.
[05:37] <spiffman> codyduncan, alright well i found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25683
[05:37] <kezzy> Thats a given.
[05:37] <IndyGunFreak> Games on Linux, some work well, alot of them barely work, many of them don't wrk at all.
[05:37] <gidi1> Now, if only the game makers would stop relying on DirectX.
[05:37] <venger_> jc: you talking about the Applications menu items?
[05:37] <kezzy> i love me some direct X
[05:38] <gidi1> I love me some OpenGL.
[05:38] <jc> venger_: yes the Applications menu
[05:38] <kezzy> Why cant they make directX work in ubuntu?
[05:38] <sixpence> kezzy: :-|
[05:38] <gidi1> Because MS doesn't release the code.
[05:38] <kezzy> Oh
[05:38] <sixpence> kezzy: Go read a guide.
[05:38] <kezzy> Bastards.
[05:38] <venger_> jc, well its only good for the default WINEPREFIX really, what you going to do when you start running multiple prefixes?
[05:38] <kezzy> Sixpence : Point me to one you'd recomment?
[05:38] <kezzy> ...recommend..
[05:38] <sixpence> kezzy: Fine -.-

[05:39] <kezzy> Sixpence : <#
[05:39] <gidi1> I had thought they were working on a DirectX clone that was free of proprietary.
[05:39] <kezzy> my bad, i forgot the 12 year olds in here learning about ubuntu.
[05:39] <sixpence> kezzy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=45407
[05:39] <kezzy> Sixpence : <3x10
[05:39] <kezzy> Thanks a ton
[05:39] <gidi1> I've pimped Ubuntu out to 12 year olds. Honest.
[05:39] <singlesun> anyone know of any good guides for programming in python? only other languages ive done are visual basic and turbo pascal
[05:39] <sixpence> He's going to have to lear2Gentoo
[05:40] <jc> venger_: I know its only good for the default WINEPREFIX, but really only run one at the moment, I'mm trying really hard to get off of windows alltogether
[05:40] <IndyGunFreak> kezzy: its not just for 12yr olds, its just not necessary in a forum on htis topic.
[05:40] <soldats> singlesun, google "how to think like a computer scientist"
[05:40] <singlesun> jc, you and me both
[05:40] <IndyGunFreak> and adds nothing to the discussion.
[05:40] <sono> Hi everyone. Anyone has downloaded de lin6usb driver lately? The site is currently down.
[05:40] <astro76> singlesun: python has superb online docs... http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html
[05:40] <soldats> its python based and very good
[05:40] <codyduncan> spiffman I have suitable directions for what I'm trying to do, I'm just too inexperienced to even follow them
[05:40] <lgc> !MODEM
[05:40] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[05:40] <jc> Venger_: but now that I've reinstalled it I don't even have that
[05:40] <codyduncan> ridiculous?  yes.
[05:40] <singlesun> soldats, astro76 i will check those out... thanks ;)
[05:41] <venger_> jc,  you went with a winehq install?
[05:41] <astro76> singlesun: also this free book http://www.diveintopython.org/
[05:41] <singlesun> astro76, thx
[05:42] <soldats> diveintopython is very good
[05:42] <IndyGunFreak> is there a better way to insall wine, than from Winehq?
[05:42] <jc> venger_: well I think so I added winehq to my list of repositories and then installed it via synaptic - should I have done it differently?
[05:42] <schwepps> IndyGunFreak, uhhh... apt?
[05:42] <ericvw> What is the reverse sequencing instead of Alt+Tab to switch between windows?
[05:42] <ericvw> because Alt+Shift+Tab doesn't work
[05:43] <venger_> jc, just curious i've done the same thing but didn't lose my menu and there bitch posts about uninstalling wine and it leaving the menus
[05:43] <gidi1> I read the guide and added the repository and ran synaptic.
[05:43] <IndyGunFreak> schwepps: sure, but what i'm saying is, someone insinuated adding the wine repo was bad, i was just curious what the issue was.. .i've always installed via the wine repo, for several years
[05:43] <schwepps> ericvw, you can check and configure it in system->pref->keyboard shortcuts
[05:43] <tehquickness> anyone know why my harddrive would be slowing down?
[05:44] <IndyGunFreak> jc: did you say wine isn't in your menu?
[05:44] <singlesun> soldats, the reason im looking into python is because im trying to throw away my windows usage... however i have to do alot of work in visual studio... and ive been told that it doesnt run well on gnu/linux
[05:44] <jc> IndyGunFreak: yep I just installed it and its not in my menu - kind of driving me nuts tonight
[05:44] <soldats> singlesun, ahh did you see the PM
[05:44] <IndyGunFreak> jc: are you sure it installed?
[05:44] <schwepps> tehquickness, gutsy?
[05:44] <tehquickness> yeah
[05:45] <tehquickness> schwepps: yes
[05:45] <schwepps> tehquickness, kill trackerd
[05:45] <tehquickness> schwepps: would this be during the boot as well?
[05:45] <Genjimoto> anyone know of a mirror of the "Howto switch between Xgl and Xorg via GDM" howto? the page goes to a dead link.
[05:45] <alexander> hey, I'm trying to get flash to work in Firefox (for instance to work w/ Youtube) but can't seem to get it installed
[05:45] <schwepps> trackerd is a virus that ubuntu devs added to gutsy to slow older computers down to a crawl
[05:45] <jc> IndyGunFreak: yes its installed, I can run winecfg from the command line and it brings up the config window
[05:45] <IndyGunFreak> !flashissue | alexander
[05:45] <ubotu> alexander: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[05:45] <schwepps> tehquickness, during boot? dunno
[05:45] <venger_> jc:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=650738
[05:46] <IndyGunFreak> jc: thats strnage, never had an issue like that
[05:46] <tehquickness> schwepps: yeah overall it is just really slugish, the boot has become a lot longer
[05:46] <alexander> IndyGunFreak: is that a fact? ya I've tried to install the plug-in from the adobe site without any luck.  How long has this been broken?
[05:46] <ericvw> schwep: I checked that
[05:47] <cwillu> any canadians in the channel?
[05:47] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: at least a couple weeks, but if you installed it from the adobe site, it should work..,  thats how i installed it beofre they had a fix, and it worked fine
[05:47] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: are you using 64bit?
[05:47] <ericvw> schwepps: I checked that and it doesn't have the shortcut for moving backwards
[05:47] <alexander> IndyGunFreak: I believe 32 bit, how can I check whether it's been intsalled in Firefox, if through Tools > Add ons then it isn't installed correctly
[05:48] <soldats> alexander, open firefox and type in the address bar "about:plugins"
[05:48] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: no... that simply lists extensions, do what soldats said
[05:48] <cwillu> openoffice seems to have difficulties spellchecking if you told ubuntu you live in canada
[05:48] <IndyGunFreak> cwillu: cuz you canadians are difficult.. :)
[05:48] <mkquist> hey all, anyone know a fix for no sound and when trying to run alsamixer "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[05:48] <alexander> it doesn't look like it's installed somehow
[05:49] <alexander> I downloaded the rpm from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[05:49] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: then you didn't install it right, are you sure your'e not using 64bit?
[05:49] <alexander> used alien to create a debian package
[05:49] <alexander> and installed it
[05:49] <skyhook> hi, does anyone know where to change the fonts on the desktop?
[05:49] <soldats> alexander, are you sure the install via the adobe site worked.
[05:49] <mkquist> alexander: i removed and reinstalled it even...
[05:49] <skyhook> specifically the size
[05:49] <alexander> IndyGunFreak: no I'm not sure actually, how can I check
[05:49] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: uname -r in a terminal
[05:49] <soldats> lol beat me to it^
[05:50] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: sorry, uname -a
[05:50] <alexander> i686
[05:50] <IndyGunFreak> hmmm
[05:50] <IndyGunFreak> then you're doing something wrong
[05:50] <alexander> :)
[05:50] <alexander> now we're on the same page
[05:51] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: did you download the source package from adobe.com and install it
[05:51] <IndyGunFreak> ?
[05:51] <jc> venger_: That worked thanks!
[05:51] <soldats> alexander, download the tar again and follow the directions from the site. dont use alien this time
[05:51] <alexander> I downloaded the *rpm* from here:
[05:51] <alexander> http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[05:51] <IndyGunFreak> YOU USED FREAKIN ALIEN FOR FLASH!!!
[05:51] <IndyGunFreak> are you nuts?
[05:51] <alexander> I couldn't download the tar file when I tried
[05:51] <IndyGunFreak> no wonder it didn't work.. geeez
[05:51] <alexander> hahaha, ya I figured that was it
[05:52] <IndyGunFreak> !alien | alexander
[05:52] <ubotu> alexander: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[05:52] <alexander> can someone follow that link and see if they can download the tar?
[05:52] <alexander> ya, I knew it was red hat, but I didn't know about the dangers
[05:52] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: yes, its working fine
[05:52] <alexander> hm, not sure why I can't download it then; I'll try it on another computer prehaps
[05:52]  * IndyGunFreak is still ina absolute disbelief you tried to use alien for flash.. ::sighs::
[05:52] <mkquist> alexander: im d/l'ing it now, works fine for me
[05:53] <soldats> lol
[05:53] <IndyGunFreak> i just downloaded it, no prob.
[05:53] <alexander> alright thanks everyone I'll just try to get my hands on the tar
[05:53] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: its not a big file, you have a yahoo email address?
[05:53] <alexander> thanks IndyGunFreak but it's alright I've got a pal sending it to me already
[05:53] <IndyGunFreak> alexander: ok.
[05:54]  * IndyGunFreak goes to get a drink from the stress
[05:54] <alexander> exit
[05:54] <alexander> oops
[05:54] <kr00l> Is there a way to get Ventrillo working in ubuntu?
[05:54] <IndyGunFreak> you know, no offense, but that might possibly be the dumbest thing i've ever saw someone say here in this channel
[05:54] <IndyGunFreak> and i've saw some whoppers in here.
[05:54] <danonura> can i update scorch3d without removing it?
[05:55] <kr00l> IndyGunFreak: Screw you, This is a place for information not to criticize others. If there is not a way just say so
[05:55] <amigappc> hi im back again
[05:55] <amigappc> with the same sound porblem
[05:56] <IndyGunFreak> kr00l: 1.  i wasn't talking to you or about you, 2.  I could really care less what you think, and 3. if you don't like it, "/IGNORE username"..
[05:56] <soldats> IndyGunFreak, agreed.
[05:56] <tehquickness> Why does gusty change IDE drives from hda to sda??
[05:56] <elninja> kr00l, there is a thread on the forums about using ventrilo under WINE.
[05:56] <IndyGunFreak> soldats: i have no prob helping new people, been doing it here for quite a while, but you gotta admit, that was dense

[05:57] <mkquist> ok, i have sound, (thought i didnt) but cant open alsamixer...  any ideas?
[05:57] <IndyGunFreak> mkquist: do you get an error when you run "alsamixer" no quotes, in a terminal?
[05:57] <soldats> mkquist, try amixer
[05:58] <kr00l> c: I don't know if i can get it working. i just want to be able to talk to my window buddies.  Was just checking :)
[05:59] <mkquist> soldats: no such device
[06:00] <IndyGunFreak> Flynsarmy: well, you know how the internet is, don't always beleive what you read, but common sense says, given the resources that compiz requries, that if its disabled, the desktop should be faster.
[06:00] <mkquist> well at least ive got sound...
[06:00] <kr00l> c: I have Quake Wars and it has VOIP in the game but it can't find my Microphone. Also I don't know how to get ubuntu to see my microphone for Skype. Do you know how to set it up correctly?
[06:00] <soldats> mkquist, and alsa is installed? wierd amixer comes with alsa in ubuntu afaik
[06:01] <PoGz_> hello guys.. pls help me.. anjuta 2.2.0 wont work.... how do i upgrade to 2.2.3

[06:01] <danonura> i downloaded Scorched3D-41.3-src.tar.gz to my desktop. could someone help me a bit to install/
[06:01] <mkquist> soldats: never seen amixer before
[06:01] <c> kr00l: i'm very new to linux, so I don't know much about the innards of it.  So, other from a quick google search, I don't really know much else about it.
[06:01] <soldats> mkquist, hmm thats odd. i have no clue
[06:01] <soldats> i might be too tired to think that hard
[06:01] <decipher7> wow over 1100 people in this room. impressive.
[06:01] <elninja> Flynsarmy: I think it's faster with compositing on (using the GPU/VRAM for GUI, freeing CPU/memory resources). Although, the using plugins will use more resources accordingly.
[06:02]  * syc__ brb, hirup oksigen dulu
[06:02] <Flynsarmy> elninja: Compositing? Is that the desktop effects to 'normal' setting or whatever the default is?
[06:02] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: just think, its a slow night, it regularly gets around 13-1400 in here.
[06:03] <kr00l> c: Let me suggest a book to you "Ubuntu Linux Bible" or "Ubuntu For Non Geeks vol 2" <--- this one is the most helpful if you are new.
[06:03] <peter120980> hi, im having problems getting the login gui to load on ubuntu 7.10, someone told me to run "lspci" to see what hardware linux picks up but as i can only do this from recovery prompt it goes way to fast to see it, is there a file i can read with the same info?
[06:03] <c> kr00l: thanks, i'll check those out.
[06:03] <bardyr> peter120980, lspci | less
[06:03] <kr00l> c: you can get them on Amazon really cheap
[06:03] <IndyGunFreak> Flynsarmy: i have my systems set to "Normal",  and they all seem to work quite well.  Well, except a new lapto[p, cuz it has a very new intel set that isn't supported yet, so it is set to none.
[06:03] <c> kr00l: k.
[06:03] <decipher7> IndyGunFreak; wow.  to think the last time i participated in the linux world was back in 2002. things have really come a long way.
[06:04] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: oh yeah, thats about when I got started, LOT has changed since then, its actually user friendly nowdays..lol
[06:04] <peter120980> bardy, what will that do?
[06:04] <elninja> I'm not sure if it's enabled on normal or not. Personally, I have a bunch of plugins enabled and it's very responsive. It feels a little laggy when I'm not running compiz.
[06:04] <dydy> can anyone help me.......i can't convert my avi file to 3gp in ubuntu 7.10
[06:04] <bardyr> peter120980, you probably have a ati or nvidia card that the opensource drivers cant handle, try installing the binary drivers for your gfx card
[06:04] <soldats> peter120980, prints lspci page by page
[06:04] <c> ya, it's alot better than when I tried it in the early days
[06:04] <IndyGunFreak> 3gp?
[06:04] <IndyGunFreak> why don't you just leave it AVI?.. fi i may ask
[06:04] <PoGz_> someone pls help me... anjuta 2.2.0 is not working on my gutsy platform? pls help me...
[06:05] <cwillu> I'm just trying to figure out why openoffice won't spellcheck english by default?  Clean gutsy install, told the live cd that I live in canada (us english keyboard),
[06:05] <elninja> Yeah, now that i think about it. Normal should have compiz enabled. None is where it's disabled completely.
[06:05] <cwillu> I'm amazed that that sort of bug is in a released os to be honest :/
[06:05] <peter120980> how do i install the binary drivers, yes i do have an nvidia card
[06:05] <c> but I still see some things that can be done better (mostly just hardware support, I wish hardware manufacturers would take linux seriously)
[06:05] <IndyGunFreak> cwillu: i sincerely doubt its the OS, its like OpenOffice, which is software..
[06:05] <nyquist2773> PoGz, I just got anjunta working, I might be able to help.
[06:05] <cwillu> IndyGunFreak, s/os/distribution/

[06:06] <bardyr> peter120980, what card?
[06:06] <peter120980> nvidia 8600gt, i have 2 of them in sli mode

[06:07] <PoGz_> nyquit2773, help me pls...
[06:07] <peter120980> bardy, i did that and nvidia is now showing in my xorg.conf file

[06:07] <bardyr> !work

[06:07] <gillza> Hey guys which xdcc script would you recommend? I did a search on xchat web page which returned 11 scripts... not sure which one of them has more functionality
[06:07] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: i don't like PCLinuxOS, mainly cuz I hate RPM,
[06:08] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: i put dreamlinux on an antique laptop I have the other day, it runs very well....
[06:08] <decipher7> IndyGunFreak: yeah i have it on my P3 500/128MB ram, runs well
[06:08] <nyquist2773> PoGz, lets PM. Did you get my chat req.
[06:09] <soldats> i put penlinux inside my bic pen
[06:09] <mkquist> well now thats weird gnome-alsamixer works, just not alsamixer...
[06:09] <decipher7> IndyGunFreak: DL 2.2MMGL that is.  Yeah I never really cared much for RPM either.  Being debian based is another thing that drew me to Ubuntu
[06:09] <PoGz_> nyquit277, yup.. i did
[06:09] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: and finally, Xubuntu, well, i used to really like it on some slower systems I have, but i've found as Xfce has progressed, its almost as heavy as Gnome/KDE... thus why i siwtched that laptop to Dream(P3 633, 256mb, 20gigs)
[06:09] <peter120980> i rebooted but still the same problem, hangs on "*installing local scripts...." or something simlar to that
[06:09] <bardyr> mkquist, is gnome-mixer using alsa?
[06:09] <soldats> mkquist, you probly dont have the ncurses library
[06:09] <bardyr> arrg sorry misread
[06:09] <nyquist2773> ok, why are you not there?
[06:09] <peter120980> if i press enter i get the prompt to login
[06:10] <PoGz_> nyquit2773, lol.. i'm there...
[06:10] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: you should try a straight debian etch 4.0(stable) install.., its quite nice to, if you like a "no frills" ubuntu.
[06:10] <mkquist> soldats: where would they be located?
[06:11] <IndyGunFreak> but really, Ubuntu is where its at...
[06:11] <mkquist> soldats: or, i guess more importantly - what are they?
[06:11] <bardyr> peter120980, is your box fully updated?
[06:11] <decipher7> IndyGunFreak: If I had a faster connection.  I'm on 56k :(  Had one but recently moved so its not set up yet
[06:11] <gillza> Hey guys which xdcc script would you recommend? I did a search on xchat web page which returned 11 scripts... not sure which one of them to choose
[06:11] <soldats> it should come standard but since you removed alsa and reinstalled it it might have not installed them
[06:11] <nyquist2773> I'm still new to XChat, I wanted to be in a private room. Too many other conversions here.
[06:11] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: i see, yeah thats rough
[06:11] <mkquist> soldats: any idea how to install them?
[06:12] <PoGz_> nyquit2773, me too..
[06:12] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: well, if i can offer an opinion to save you some time, don't waste your time w/ PCLOS
[06:12] <soldats> mkquist, if gnome-alsamixer works there shouldnt be a need to
[06:12] <peter120980> err im not sure, this is my first linux install, i been stuck on this for 2 days lol
[06:12] <nyquist2773> Ok, try again.
[06:13] <bardyr> peter120980, do a sudo apt-get update && sudp apt-get upgrade
[06:13] <PoGz_> nyquit2773, i accepted ur invyt...
[06:13] <nyquist2773> ok, It says waiting.
[06:13] <rekon> nyquist2773 and PoGz_ , both of you can type /join #prvtroom and your in a private room
[06:13] <decipher7> IndyGunFreak: I was curious on how it would run on that P3500 128.... ubuntu took an hour to install so i use it on my new laptop with compiz.  it's the cube from transformers ha!
[06:13] <PoGz_> nyquit2773, i c
[06:13] <mkquist> soldats: i was just gonna say, gnome-alsamixer is just a gui version of alsamixer, so i would think one works, the other underlying one works too
[06:13] <nyquist2773> whell rekon seems to have the answer.
[06:13] <rekon> well, not private, but empty
[06:13] <mkquist> hmmm
[06:13] <c> you guys know any good PHP ide in the ubuntu packages?
[06:13] <peter120980> ok ill go give that a go, u guys are legends, many thanks
[06:14] <PoGz_> nyquit2773, hehehe
[06:14] <gillza> Can some one recommend a decent xdcc script for XChat that you are using or have used???
[06:14] <DiceyDays> quick question- what is the lastest version of java? the open source version.
[06:14] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: i can't see it running very well on that machine.. it ran slow on a 1.2ghz AMD that I tried to put it on about 3mo ago, not to mention it dind't pick up all the hardware, which Ubuntu and Debian did out of the box.'
[06:14] <nyquist2773> PoGz join #prvtroom1
[06:14] <PoGz_> nyquit2773, k
[06:14] <soldats> mkquist, the gnome-alsamixer is the gui and alsamixer runs in terminal using ncurses which is a sort of text based gui
[06:14] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: but its biggest drawback, IMO, is its RPM... i read one time it was gonna switch to .deb, but i don't think it ever happened.
[06:15] <Ademan> is there any way to make "pr" intelligently choose how many columns to output?
[06:15] <cwillu> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/186936
[06:15] <mkquist> soldats: i think the configuration files for alsamixer are futzed up....
[06:15] <soldats> mkquist, probly, but sound does work right
[06:16] <mkquist> soldats: yep, so not the biggest deal
[06:16] <ticky> hi. does anybody know of a tool to create multiboot dvds?
[06:16] <lgc> Who this late at night has experience with configuring modems?
[06:16] <IndyGunFreak> ticky: so you're wanting to put more than 1 iso on 1 DVD?
[06:16] <soldats> mkquist, ok well id suggest using the task bar app for volume management. i really have no clue what do do to get it back
[06:16] <amigappc> ok and i ask it again ^.^anybody can help me, to get my sound working ? soundcard is installed, alsa is installed, but no sound
[06:16] <ticky> IndyGunFreak: yep
[06:17] <IndyGunFreak> ticky: i would say that is going to be almost 100% impossible, but thats just my thinkin
[06:17] <jc> amigapcc: what sound card?
[06:17] <ticky> there are tools that give you a boot menu, ala grub.. and then you can choose which image you want to boot from.
[06:17] <decipher7> IndyGunFreak: I've got a question for you.  I used Wubi to install Ubuntu because I didn't want to disturb my laptops partitions (it has a recovery partition that is accessible with F11 at boot time).  Does the wubi set up have any significant differences in performance than a regular install (no loopback)?
[06:17] <IndyGunFreak> ticky: never heard of them, but i'd say find those tools and that would be a place to start
[06:18] <decipher7> or to anyone in here
[06:18] <ticky> IndyGunFreak: but i couldn't find any tool under linux that is able to do that
[06:18] <IndyGunFreak> decipher7: i have no experience w/ wubi, sorry.  I know i see it mentioned in here quite frequently, so that could be a bad thing.. :
[06:18] <amigappc> jc: HDAintel internal laptop soundcard

[06:19] <ubotu> amigappc: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[06:19] <IndyGunFreak> amigappc: what model PC do you have?
[06:20] <gillza> Does anybody here use xdcc scripts for Xchat?
[06:21] <onats> can IT admins check what is happening in an SSH connection? or do they just see that an SSH connection is established between A and B?
[06:21] <IndyGunFreak> amigappc: what model PC do you ahve?
[06:21] <amigappc> he ask me to insert my isntall cd ...but i dont have the disc anylonger ... it was an rw
[06:21] <amigappc> IndyGunFreak: toshiba satego p100-10u
[06:22] <peter120980> When i type "sudo apt-get update && sudp apt-get upgrade" i get "-bash: sudp: command not found"
[06:22] <rekon> sudo
[06:22] <ThipThip> I'm having some issues with cron.  I'm trying to get a file to play in the morning in vlc player (like an alarm).  I'm modifying /erc/crontab.  The line I've added is:  21 1    * * *   root    vlc /sdb1/play.asx --report /etc/cron.daily
[06:22] <rekon> peter120980 you have typo'ed sudo in the second command
[06:23] <c> peter120980: after the && you should have sudo not sudp
[06:23] <gillza> a nu vas nahui....
[06:23] <jc> peter12080: is your second sudo a typo? it should be sudo not sudp
[06:23] <peter120980> yeah, someone wrote it like that, i didnt realise it was a typo
[06:24] <tumbleweed__> wow
[06:24] <tumbleweed__> that's feeble
[06:24] <lgc> ThipThip, are you modifying the file manually or using 'crontab -e'?
[06:25] <Flughafen_> how do i show hidden folders?
[06:25] <IndyGunFreak> amigappc: did you say it was asking you to insert your CD?
[06:25] <IndyGunFreak> and you don't have it,.
[06:25] <soldats> Flughafen_, in what file manager
[06:25] <peter120980> lol ok its updating now, sorry but as im completey new to this i dont know if someone does a typo or not
[06:25] <Flughafen_> soldats, what do you mean?
[06:25] <c> Flughafen: ls -la in the terminal, or right click on empty area in the gnome file browser
[06:25] <Flughafen_> soldats, im using ubuntu 7.10
[06:26] <tehquickness> how can I view any errors that may have occured during the boot up?
[06:26] <lgc> Flughafen, in Nautilus, 'CTRL-H'.
[06:26] <soldats> Flughafen_, ls -a in terminal and view > show hidden files in nautilus
[06:27] <IndyGunFreak> bedtime all... be safe.
[06:27] <amigappc> asdf
[06:27] <peter120980> if i wanna find out about all these commands and what they do any suggestions of a good website where i can read up on it?
[06:27] <Flughafen_> soldats, thanks
[06:27] <amigappc> indygunfreak: yes it ask me
[06:27] <lgc> Flughafen_, in Nautilus, 'CTRL-H'.
[06:27] <soldats> np
[06:28] <ThipThip> lgc - I was modifying the file manually, but I also tried crontab -e.  It wouldn't save without sudo, and with sudo, it couldn't find the file.
[06:28] <amigappc> IndyGunFreak if i run sudo aptitude install build-essential libncurses-dev gettext linux-headers-`uname -r` he ask me for the cd
[06:28] <tehquickness> how can a view the log from the boot up or that might have any errors or problems from boot?
[06:29] <decipher7> amigappc" i believe build-essential has dependencies that are on the cd
[06:29] <drgeb> I keep seeing this error "ARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0" any ideas on how to fix this ?
[06:29] <soldats>  /var/logs/ maybe
[06:29] <jc> night all thanks everyone for all the help - I can sleep better now :)
[06:29] <ThipThip> lgc:  I just did crontab -e again and it worked.  Strange.  I must have messed up the first time.  We'll see if it works in one minute.  :-)
[06:30] <amigappc> decipher7: i only have empty DVDs here ... not 1 cd or cdrw
[06:30] <lgc> ThipThip, if it's a new file it's fine, I suppose. But with 'crontab -e' you probably make the crontab daemon take into account the new orders.
[06:30] <jay-oh-en> how do i install icon themes
[06:30] <decipher7> amigappc: or go to packages.ubuntu.com and search for the packages youre installing it will tell you the dependencies
[06:30] <ThipThip> lgc:  Yeah no dice.  The time comes and goes, but vlc does not open.
[06:32] <kezzy> god this place is crazy
[06:32] <Exteris> amigappc, you can also remove the cd from the software sources dialog, it'll then download everything from internet
[06:32] <kezzy> does it pick up at night more?
[06:33] <soldats> it slows for a few hours then picks back up, it varies since people from around the orld come here
[06:33] <soldats> s/orld/world
[06:34] <jay-oh-en> how do i install icon themes
[06:34] <ThipThip> lgc:  Yeah, it doesn't seem to work.  In crontab, when I save, it asks me which file to write, and the default is /tmp/something... Is this cool?  Why would vlc not open?  Do I need to specify that I want it to output to my screen?
[06:34] <bluefoxx> hey i need some help
[06:34] <bluefoxx> my amsn keeps telling me theres a TCL error and to report it
[06:35] <bluefoxx> then it says my version is no longer supported and to upgrade[when i try to report it]
[06:35] <lgc> ThipThip, that could be the point, indeed.
[06:35] <bluefoxx> but i allready did upgrade from the ubuntu installer from the site
[06:35] <bluefoxx> and i keep getting the startup notice that theres a update avaible even though i upgraded
[06:35] <amigappc> Exteris: how ?
[06:35] <ThipThip> lgc:  What need I do?  I can't find a good guide to cron.
[06:36] <bluefoxx> even after i checked the 'tell me in a week' option
[06:36] <jay-oh-en> how do i install icon themes
[06:36] <lgc> ThipThip, the manual is quite sketchy.
[06:36] <bluefoxx> so whats the problem here?
