[02:44] <Hitomaro> MrElendig: I said no to pci-e.. I only have AGP support.. thats why I was talking about the 7600GS
[02:44] <Pelo> TheManiacKY,  as far as I know ubuntu studio is someone's repackage of ubuntu with a few extras in the default installation
[02:44] <MrElendig> for agp the 7900gs or 7600gt are probably the best price/performance
[02:44] <mneptok> macogw: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[02:44] <macogw> Pelo: ok yeah i did add the resolution to xorg.conf
[02:44] <Pelo> macogw,   gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:44] <Hitomaro> pci-e would be my 1st option if I had that support
[02:44] <Hitomaro> they're cheaper too
[02:44] <MrElendig> for nvida cards that is
[02:44] <jmchaffie> macogw: I remember, although not on ubuntu, I had suse 7.3 installed with a Rage II and got 1024 x 768 no problems. I think you need to dig for old drivers probably. Also might want to dig through your xorg.conf.. might be that simple
[02:44] <macogw> Pelo: i'm looking at it in vi right now
[02:44] <Pelo> macogw,  to every colour dept and also I think there is someting about replacing  nvidia with nv in one of the device entries
[02:44] <MrElendig> macogw: lies
[02:44] <Hitomaro> MrElendig: nvidia are the only cards I buy
[02:44] <Hitomaro> :)
[02:44] <macogw> Pelo: thats for nvidia
[02:44] <MrElendig> macogw: you are looking at it in vim
[02:44] <TheManiacKY> Where can I download new Login themes? I really like the one in Studio.
[02:44] <Pelo> macogw,  sorry I got confused,  I'm no good with hardware stuff
[02:44] <macogw> MrElendig: ok thats true since vim is aliased to vi
[02:44] <macogw> MrElendig: i type it as vi though :p
[02:44] <Pelo> TheManiacKY,  www.gnome-look.org ,  look under gdm themes
[02:44] <TheManiacKY> thanks
[02:44] <Hitomaro> MrElendig: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=83%2C88%2C3157,306&webid=675071&affixedcode=WW
[02:44] <MrElendig> still vim, unless you are on some realy old unix
[02:44] <shavex> how do i resize the partition that i am on?
[02:44] <jmchaffie> macogw: what is it currently defined as under devices?
[02:44] <doms> how to unlbock  friendster websites
[02:44] <doms> how to unblock  friendster websites
[02:44] <Pelo> shavex,  you can't you need to boot up the live cd
[02:44] <doms> how to unblock  friendster websites and youtubes
[02:44] <MrElendig> shavex: what filesystem
[02:44] <macogw> MrElendig: why does ubuntu have the bad vim by default now?
[02:44] <inazad> It is possible to recreate a private key with the public key ?
[02:44] <mneptok> doms: please stop repeating
[02:44] <macogw> jmchaffie: under devices?
[02:44] <MrElendig> macogw: vim isn't bad, vi is
[02:44] <macogw> jmchaffie: you mean in xorg?
[02:44] <Fezzler> What do I do if GNOME Freezes up!  Ctrl Alt BKSP brings me to Login, after login, blank blue scree with gray rectangle in upper left.
[02:44] <Pelo> doms,  what do you mean unblock, what is your problem ?
[02:44] <jmchaffie> macogw: yes, in xorg.conf
[02:44] <dk0r> When installing ubuntu studio where do I apply onboard raid controller drivers?? Can someone please pm me
[02:44] <shavex> MrElendig, linux, i have booted up in BackTrack and tried using QTparted but it wont let me when i click on the partition, i can only resize the swap
[02:44] <macogw> MrElendig: in dapper's vim, if you used arrow keys in insert mode, it worked. in feisty's vim, it shows one of the first four letters of the alphabet because it's not a full vim install
[02:44] <kitche> dk0r: #ubuntustudio for studio help
[02:44] <Pelo> Fezzler,  did gnome ever work on your comp ?
[02:44] <jmchaffie> macogw: is it setup as "Vesa" or "ati" or.... ?
[02:44] <Fezzler> Pelo: Yup, great from months.
[02:44] <MSIGuy> So I'm having troubles with my torrents.
[02:44] <MSIGuy> I've got them downloading fine, but not uploading anything.
[02:44] <shavex> Pelo, i did boot up into a livecd and ran qtparted but it wouldnt let me resize the partition... only the swap could be resized
[02:44] <dk0r> kitche: #ubuntustudio referenced me to #ubuntu/ubuntuforum
[02:44] <Pelo> Fezzler,  what is the last thing you did before it got borked ?
[02:44] <doms> Pelo: i cant browse  www.friendster.com and www.yahoo.com  i'am using firefox and i'am not using proxy
[02:44] <MSIGuy> I've got the port for downloading unblocked, along with the tracker announce, any other things to check?
[02:44] <MrElendig> MSIGuy: my experience is that azureus for gui and rtorrent for cli is alot better than ktorrent
[02:44] <mneptok> Fezzler: use a console login to move things like ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gconf aside, ONE BY ONE, until you find what GNOME config zone is being cranky
[02:44] <Pelo> shavenger,  you need to unmount it first , and you can'T rezise to the left , you need to move it first
[02:44] <jvai> <-- torrents probs to! me thinks it's the network, not ubuntu
[02:44] <Fezzler> Pelo: Well, I remember trying to improve sound and installed ALSA.
[02:44] <dcordes> MSIGuy, rtorrent
[02:44] <kitche> dk0r: well last time I checked studio is not supported in this channel but you can go tot he forums if you wish
[02:44] <jvai> isp bandwidth throttling
[02:44] <MSIGuy> I want a gui.
[02:44] <Pelo> Fezzler,  I'm stumped,  try the forum
[02:44] <Fezzler> Pelo: I also was starting to use recordmydesktop.
[02:44] <MSIGuy> And I thought ktorrent was the closest thing to utorrent in windows.
[02:44] <mneptok> MSIGuy: for my money, NOTHING beats BitTornado from the command line.
[02:44] <jmchaffie> macogw: you find it in xorg.conf yet?
[02:44] <MSIGuy> I don't want command line though.
[02:44] <macogw> jmchaffie: hang on i'm getting the non-annoying vim
[02:44] <Fezzler> Pelo: can I reinstall gdm or GNOME from command prompt?
[02:44] <shavex> Pelo, it wouldnt let me move it either, and where would i move it? it and the swap are taking up the whole HD
[02:44] <Pelo> Fezzler,  boot the recovery mode,  and sudo apt-get install remove recordmydesktop,  and also try to reisntall gnome
[02:44] <Hitomaro> whats better a video card with 256MB DDR or 512MB DDR?
[02:44] <mneptok> MSIGuy: i think you're on the right track with kTorrent, then.
[02:44] <jmchaffie> macogw: lol.. ok
[02:44] <unagi> how do you restart x server from the terminal
[02:44] <Pelo> shavex, reinstall , save your selff sometrouble
[02:44] <MSIGuy> And I had problems with Azerus because of the outdated repositority.
[02:44] <mneptok> unagi: startx
[02:44] <Hitomaro> (08:37:36 PM) Hitomaro: whats better a video card with 256MB DDR or 512MB DDR?
[02:44] <unagi> i remember a command that requred a stop then start
[02:44] <Fezzler> Pelo: Recovery mode is an option when I hit escape at boot up?
[02:44] <macogw> unagi: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (if you do mean restart and not just start)
[02:44] <Pelo> Fezzler,  yes you can,   sudo apt-get install ...
[02:44] <jmchaffie> unagi: /etc/init.d/gdmrestart
[02:44] <MSIGuy> Maybe I'll try it from source later, but I doubt its the client causing my problems now, but my config.
[02:44] <unagi> thank you
[02:44] <MrElendig> Hitomaro: dosn't realy matter for agp cards
[02:44] <Pelo> Fezzler,  yes,  should be the second from the top
[02:44] <Hitomaro> ok thanks MrElendig
[02:44] <MrElendig> Hitomaro:  you probably won't run at realy big resolutions
[02:44] <unagi> im about to run maya and it will probably crash me
[02:44] <Macskeeball> I just made a blog entry about using cron and Twitter for automated notifications of update availability. I thought others might find it useful, and would appreciate some thoughts on it. http://macskeeball.wordpress.com/2007/07/10/using-twitter-for-software-update-notifications
[02:44] <Fezzler> Pelo: sudo apt-get install gdm  ????
[02:44] <unagi> ctrl + alt + shift + f6 takes me to the console right?
[02:44] <jmchaffie> unagi: /etc/init.d/gdm stop ... then just ... gdm
[02:44] <MrElendig> like 1680x1050 with full aa and af
[02:44] <jmchaffie> either way
[02:45] <Hitomaro> for my plasma
[02:45] <Hitomaro> yeah
[02:45] <unagi> ok brb i  might crash
[02:45] <cables> unagi, ctrl-shift-f1-6 will take you into any of your 6 vtty's
[02:45] <inazad> It is possible to recreate a private key with the public key ?
[02:45] <ScreaminIke> my processor is mis-matched to my motherboard. i know. i should get a new processor. no money right now, though. in any case, i get this error any time i'm in tty. about every minute. it makes tty unusable. can i just supress this error until i get a new processor?
[02:45] <Macskeeball> ianazad: no
[02:45] <Pelo> Fezzler,  I don'T know the exact name of the package,  so try this,  gdm then hit the tab key twice it will bring up the available package with gdm it in
[02:45] <MrElendig> because the  framerate will be to low anyway to be usable
[02:45] <Hitomaro> MrElendig, I will be running really big resolutions
[02:45] <Hitomaro> so is the 512 better?
[02:45] <MrElendig> Hitomaro: bu not with full aa and af
[02:45] <MSIGuy> Any ideas on why I am not uploading?
[02:45] <MrElendig> I guess
[02:45] <MrElendig> but*
[02:45] <Macskeeball> ianazad: I suggest you listen to the older Security Now episodes on crypto
[02:45] <Hitomaro> ok thanks MrElendig... thanks a lot
[02:45] <Hitomaro> bye
[02:45] <Pelo> gtg, later folks
[02:45] <jmchaffie> Ok, anyone have a resource for nVidia latest drivers via apt-get? Rather than all of the crazy processes I've found?
[02:45] <MariusAZ> Does ubuntu use Licknuts or Unix?
[02:45] <macogw> jmchaffie: driver says ati
[02:45] <xTaJMoX> MariusAZ: This is a support channel.  For silly talk go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:45] <MariusAZ> I wasn't trying to be silly
[02:45] <MariusAZ> I'm sorry
[02:45] <xTaJMoX> It uses the Linux kernel
[02:45] <jmchaffie> macogw: ok... scrolling down to your screens... do your resolution lists include 1024 x 768? or do they start lower?
[02:45] <xTaJMoX> Which does NOT lick nuts.  =p
[02:45] <knix> That is up for debate:)
[02:45] <macogw> jmchaffie: on the low color depth i didnt edit it, but on 16 and 24 i had already added 1024x768
[02:45] <xTaJMoX> knix: you use the bsd kernel?
[02:45] <jmchaffie> macogw: you need to add it to ALL of the colors
[02:45] <knix> I use many kernels
[02:45] <knix> but not in ubuntu :F
[02:45] <atrayo> does anybody know the simplest, easiest way to add a screen resolution higher than 1024X768 to the screen resolution drop down menu?
[02:45] <jmchaffie> macogw: or it doesn't recognize it as a valid option
[02:45] <person51090> Which are better? Xgl/AIGLX and Compiz/Beryl?
[02:45] <person51090> What's the best combination?
[02:45] <person51090> I'm happy with your opinions
[02:45] <macogw> jmchaffie: thats weird...ive heard of where someone could only get a resolution if it was only on low color depths before though
[02:45] <xTaJMoX> atrayo: depends on what card you have.   The best way is to edit your /etc/X11/xorg or do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:45] <ScreaminIke> http://sial.org/pbot/26161
[02:45] <unagi_> sigh
[02:45] <unagi_> i crashed......and i couldnt get to the terminal
[02:45] <shavex> person51090, Compiz/Beryl
[02:45] <bobsomebody> silly question, i hooked up wifi and set it to <IP_ADDRESS> (lan @ <IP_ADDRESS>), i cannot get ssh to my desktop but i can ssh my server
[02:45] <macogw> unagi_: how did you crash that bad?
[02:45] <Justi1> is there a way to open 'restricted drivers manager' from a text only mode (x server is not working)?
[02:45] <unagi_> maya crashes when you press space bar
[02:45] <jmchaffie> macogw: well, I'm not sure about that, but from personal experience, that's what I have found to be true when I've had the same difficulty. Could just be a coincidence I suppose on my part....
[02:45] <person51090> shavex: the question was do I want Xgl and beryl, or AIGLX and compiz, or what?
[02:45] <unagi_> it is ctrl + alt + shift + 6 right?
[02:45] <macogw> unagi_: yeah so then go to a virtual terminal (ctrl alt f1)
[02:45] <atrayo> Ok, thanks xTajmox! What is the best way to figure out my card from within ubuntu? (i'm sorry for my lack of knowledge)
[02:45] <shavex> person51090, you want Compiz Fusion
[02:45] <bobsomebody> any ideas #ubuntu?
[02:45] <xTaJMoX> atrayo: in terminal type lspci |grep vga
[02:45] <Justi1> is there a way to open 'restricted drivers manager' from a text only mode
[02:45] <shavex> person51090, its Compiz and Beryl mixed together
[02:45] <person51090> shavex: it's not out yet, is it? when's the release?
[02:45] <jmchaffie> macogw: also, at the bottom, do you have composite "0" or "enable"?
[02:45] <MrElendig> bobsomebody: can you ping your desktop?
[02:45] <shavex> person51090, its out cuz i have it on my ubuntu feisty
[02:45] <shavex> person51090, just google it
[02:45] <person51090> shavex: a stable release? and are you running xgl or aiglx?
[02:46] <bobsomebody> yeah can ping both
[02:46] <atrayo> does | mean hit enter b4 proceeding to the next line?
[02:46] <shavex> person51090, xgl
[02:46] <xTaJMoX> bobsomebody: I think you want your ip to be <IP_ADDRESS> not 2.1 or you'll be in a different gateway address
[02:46] <bobsomebody> actually, all pings work from any 2 points on my network
[02:46] <MrElendig> bobsomebody: check the /etc/hosts.allow and .deny at the desktop
[02:46] <ystd__> hello could someone please help out a newb: what is the command to like keep root priveleges and not have to type sudo in front of every command? thanks
[02:46] <jmchaffie> macogw: what did you end up with?
[02:47] <shavex> person51090, i dont know about stable, but it works perfect for me
[02:47] <unagi> does anyone here run maya?
[02:47] <haxed> We need channels with 50+ members to not print the joins and quits...
[02:47] <person51090> shavex: thanks much
[02:47] <xTaJMoX> atrayo - no in unix | means "pipe to" which is kinda like running 2 commands at the same time
[02:47] <NigelS> ystd__: well the idea there is you only invoke root privileges when you need to - if you want to open a session with root privs type sudo -s
[02:47] <bobsomebody> MrElendig, they are not defined
[02:47] <ponicg> Is it possible to upgrade to 2.6.22 in Edgy?
[02:47] <mneptok> haxed: that's entirely a client-side function
[02:47] <xTaJMoX> ystd__: sudo -i
[02:49] <ystd__> Nigels: thanks
[02:49] <MrElendig> ponicg: you can always compile it yourself
[02:49] <xTaJMoX> unagi: used to!   back in the day
[02:49] <ponicg> MrElendig, Nod. I figured that. Will it break anything, however?
[02:49] <NigelS> haxed: that's not a server decision in the protocol iirc, it's a client decision as to how noisy things are, you can /ignore joins and quits in most clients on a per channel basis
[02:49] <unagi> hrm
[02:49] <ponicg> MrElendig, I've had trouble upgrading past 2.6.10... it seems to nuke my video driver somehow(and I've confirmed it wasnt' blacklisted)
[02:49] <bobsomebody> xTaJMoX, i can ssh server @ <IP_ADDRESS> from the laptop tho
[02:49] <unagi> mine keeps crashing
[02:49] <unagi> but apparently there is an sp1
[02:49] <unagi> im going to try that....sorry for flood
[02:49] <ponicg> err 2.6.17
[02:49] <haxed> Ok I ignored joins and quits
[02:49] <haxed> rifk
[02:49] <MrElendig> ponicg: not if you know how to compile a kernel, and that 2.6.22 won't crash with your hardware
[02:49] <unagi> i think in fragments =( bad for irc channels
[02:49] <haxed> wait shit no i didn't...
[02:49] <ponicg> MrElendig, I guess worst case I can step back to 2.6.17 if I don't delete it...
[02:49] <MrElendig> ponicg: if it won't boot, then you can always boot the old kernel instead...
[02:49] <unagi> why do i have 2 kernels in my grub....15 and 16
[02:49] <mneptok> haxed: get a real client :P
[02:49] <haxed> mIRC is what real men use.
[02:49] <NigelS> unagi: since you installed there has been an update and the newer 16 has been prepended to your grub config
[02:49] <haxed> lel.
[02:49] <xTaJMoX> unagi: the older one is kept in case you have problems with the newer one - you can un-install it or remove it from the menu.lst
[02:50] <mneptok> haxed: uh ... :)
[02:50] <unagi> so if 16 doesnt load 15 might?
[02:50] <haxed> lol
[02:50] <meme_> Hello, i can watch Apple quicktime trailers , but there is no sound , any idea what i need?
[02:50] <jmchaffie> macogw: you can also check your modes, I double checked an old database, and have a sample that should help you...
[02:50] <unagi> a sound card? meme_
[02:50] <h1st0> !codec > meme
[02:50] <NigelS> haxed: well I suppose if real men are 15 yr old xp users and people who think that scripts showing their CPU/mem usage are cool then yes
[02:50] <h1st0> !codec > meme_
[02:50] <meme_> what one?
[02:50] <NigelS> haxed: personally I prefer netcat :P
[02:50] <xTaJMoX> unagi - if 16 is working fine for you - you can remove 15 if you really want.  It's good to keep the other one as a backup
[02:51] <meme_> I thought i had them all
[02:51] <unagi> thats cool i was just wondering i guess
[02:51] <r0b-> are ubuntu apps made with c++ or vb
[02:51] <unagi> im learning so much from you guys =)
[02:51] <doms> help help i cant surf www.friendster.com
[02:51] <jvai> meme - quicktime plugins for firefox
[02:51] <meme_> it plays the movie in firefox just not the sound
[02:52] <xTaJMoX> r0b-: vb is for making windows programs.   there are many programming languages used in linux, most of them are some sort of C and Python
[02:52] <macogw> jmchaffie: firefox still looks stupidly huge, so i think its still 800x600
[02:52] <ian_wax> dadblast, i have been having problems with every USB external drive i own. how do i format it once and for all so that it works on ubuntu and not just windows?
[02:52] <r0b-> ok thanks
[02:52] <macogw> r0b-: python is a good one for starting out with
[02:52] <jmchaffie> macogw: ok ... do you have the 1024 x 768 option in your drop-down list?
[02:52] <bthornton> I've got a Linux host with two NICs in it: one is hooked up to the "main network", and the other is connected to a WAP (which gets its IP statically).  Is it possible to configure my Linux host to indescriminately forward all packets back and forth between the WAP connected on one NIC to the main network connected on the other NIC?
[02:52] <macogw> r0b-: its probably about the same difficulty level as vb
[02:52] <xTaJMoX> ian_wax: format it to the ext3 or ext2 type.  Then get fs-driver so you can use it in windoze
[02:53] <unagi> !fs-driver
[02:53] <ian_wax> how exactly do i do that?
[02:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fs-driver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:53] <macogw> jmchaffie: do you know the command to run that thing that asks for what res  you want?
[02:53] <xTaJMoX> http://www.fs-driver.org
[02:53] <macogw> jmchaffie: at a glance, i dont see it in the fluxbox menu
[02:53] <atrayo> xTajmox, sorry for the delay it is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04)
[02:53] <macogw> jmchaffie: this computer cant run gnome very well (heck, it seems to choke on fluxbox)
[02:53] <jmchaffie> macogw: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[02:53] <macogw> jmchaffie: feisty
[02:53] <xTaJMoX> atrayo ok so you have the intel i910 video card.
[02:53] <macogw> jmchaffie: but i uninstall gnome because it's too heavy
[02:53] <NigelS> bthornton: you mean turn on forwarding? yes
[02:54] <jmchaffie> macogw: go to "system - preferences - screen resolution"
[02:54] <macogw> jmchaffie: no gnome...
[02:54] <atrayo> Oh ok im going to write that down
[02:54] <ian_wax> for the time being... how would i format my drive via linux?
[02:54] <macogw> ian_wax: mkfs
[02:54] <xTaJMoX> atrayo: you might want to try the 915resolution program.
[02:54] <jmchaffie> macogw: ah ok... kde?
[02:54] <ian_wax> mkfs in synaptic?
[02:54] <unagi> does fs driver work for ext3?
[02:54] <macogw> jmchaffie: fluxbox
[02:54] <xTaJMoX> !info 915resolution | atrayo
[02:54] <ubotu> atrayo: 915resolution: resolution modification tool for Intel graphic chipset. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.2-10ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 14 kB, installed size 124 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64)
[02:54] <macogw> ian_wax: in the command line
[02:54] <xTaJMoX> unagi: yes
[02:54] <bthornton> NigelS: and insofaras I've done "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward", I have enabled ip forwarding.  But it's still not forwarding packets freely
[02:54] <r0b-> i can do a simple perl print thing
[02:54] <r0b-> lol
[02:54] <atrayo> Excellent!! Thanks a ton, Xtajmox!
[02:54] <unagi> i have problems that mp3s dont like to come off external drives
[02:54] <NigelS> bthornton: you need to masquerade
[02:54] <jmchaffie> macogw: oh ok.. shoot, never have run it so I don't know. :(
[02:55] <jmchaffie> macogw: let me find out real quick
[02:55] <xTaJMoX> ian_wax: I like gparted
[02:55] <ian_wax> cd  ..../desktop/new volume first?
[02:55] <tinin> Can I switch with mousewheel between desktops If I use it on the desktop?
[03:03] <ian_wax> i am rather new to linux
[03:03] <macogw> jmchaffie: maybe after i take this comp up to a whopping 385mb (the max it can support) it'll be able to run gnome :p
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> ian_wax sudo apt-get insatll gparted   then type gparted
[03:03] <h1st0> tinin: i'm sure it can be done
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: run "xrandr"
[03:03] <khin> mneptok, how do i connect to an ssh server using rsync
[03:03] <ffm> How do I view the output of my boot? Like the stuff with hte FAIL in it?
[03:03] <macogw> xTaJMoX: i think gparted needs sudo
[03:03] <h1st0> ffm: dmesg
[03:03] <bijacks> I just downloaded the live DVD version of opensuse 10.2. to my windows XP machine. I've burned Cd versions of live distributions before but not DVD versions to a DVD. What utility do I need for Windows Xp to burn this ISO image to a DVD? Can anyone please help me? I would really appreciate it. You can tell I'm new to Linux.
[03:03] <ffm> h1st0, (/me n00b) how do I use that, just in a terminal?
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: xrandr -s (whatever option is 1024 x 768) i.e. xrandr -s 2
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> macogw: oh yeah... it'll give him a popup =]
[03:03] <doms>  anybody causing a problem that some websites cant be accessable using firefox
[03:03] <macogw> jmchaffie: that option isnt showing
[03:03] <doms>  anybody causing a problem that some websites cant be accessable using firefox
[03:03] <soneil> bijacks: assuming you've got a dvd writer, it should be exactly the same process as CDs
[03:03] <h1st0> ffm: yes I think thats what you are looking for.  and dmesg -c will clear it I believe let me chec
[03:03] <macogw> jmchaffie: on dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i told it to add 1024x768 60Hz but it doesnt seem like it did
[03:03] <MrElendig> doms: yes, and they are all caused by lazy/stupid webmasters
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: ok then, vi your xorg.conf again and let me give you exactly what to put in there... I checked an old conf and I have what you need here for a rage II
[03:03] <MrElendig> doms: that makes their site IE only
[03:03] <h1st0> ffm: yeah sudo dmesg -c will clear it then you can reboot and get a fresh one.
[03:03] <bijacks> I have a program that will burn the ISO images to CDS but not DVDS
[03:03] <ian_wax> i got this error message: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:03] <ian_wax> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> tinin: right click on the workspaces panel applet and go to properties.   i believe the mousewheel option is in there

[03:03] <ffm> h1st0, thanks.
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> ian_wax: you probably have synaptic open ... close it
[03:03] <rathel> I ripped a few of my movies to .iso format, how do I play them in totem like I would a normal dvd?
[03:03] <MrElendig> bijacks: if the iso was made for a cd then it won't work to burn it to a dvd
[03:03] <ian_wax> my bad, thanks
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: check your private message
[03:03] <ian_wax> then get gparted
[03:03] <macogw> jmchaffie: i dont have 1280x1024 listed s it cant do that
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> bijacks: I like gnomebaker for burning iso dvd's
[03:03] <khin> hi im trying to download stuff from an ssh server recursively with gFTP but it just transfers an empty folder or does nothing. is there something else i can use. someone said use rsync can i do this?
[03:03] <macogw> jmchaffie: i didnt get a pm
[03:03] <someone2005> I'm new to linux and would like to know what the best way to unblock my email attachments ...So my email actually send with an attachment...Any Ideas ?
[03:03] <bijacks> It was downloaded to burn to DVD
[03:03] <dk0r> anyone seen ivory, akoustik piano or pianoteq (vst pianos) working?
[03:03] <h1st0> khin: sftp
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: that's ok... trust me it will give you the other options though.
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: hmmm I will try it again...
[03:03] <bijacks> I believe it was about 1.7gb
[03:03] <ian_wax> how do i get gparted to run??
[03:03] <h1st0> ian_wax: alt+f2 and type in gparted
[03:03] <MrElendig> khin: if you got ssh access, why not use nautilus?
[03:03] <macogw> jmchaffie: you have to add a resolution higher than possible to get the highest possible? O_o that sounds a bit messed up
[03:03] <doms> MrElendig: buy even i download ie4linux i cant still browse that pages
[03:03] <ian_wax> do i have to run nautilus beforehand?
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> ian_wax sudo gparted in a terminal
[03:03] <macogw> ian_wax: or go system > administration > gnome partition
[03:03] <MrElendig> khin: Places -> Connect to server
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> h1st0: it needs gksudo
[03:03] <ian_wax> it asks for root priviledges
[03:03] <macogw> ian_wax: just type your password
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> ian_wax: alt-f2    gksudo gparted
[03:03] <unagi> ian_wax tell me your password
[03:03] <h1st0> ian_wax: yeah sry just gksudo gparted
[03:03] <macogw> xTaJMoX: he's past that
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> unagi: you can get kicked for that
[03:03] <h1st0> lol
[03:03] <unagi> really?
[03:03] <h1st0> yes
[03:03] <unagi> =(
[03:03] <macogw> xTaJMoX: he's up to being asked for the passy
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> i would
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: well my client is telling me I've sent you the info in chat twice, so I can just send it in here if you will watch for it and copy it
[03:03] <ian_wax> :S
[03:03] <r0b-> how can i obtain the ubuntu source code
[03:03] <unagi> i didnt know lol im just bored
[03:03] <macogw> jmchaffie: i'm in a VT
[03:03] <jmchaffie> ah ok
[03:03] <someone2005> would I need to set some type of privlege ?
[03:03] <macogw> jmchaffie: not quite sure how you c&p with that
[03:03] <unagi> can i even do  much harm with someones password?
[03:03] <nickkkkkname> if i'm connecting to an ubuntu box from os x, and already shared the needed folder as windows (smb) share, what do i use as the username and password?
[03:03] <unagi> i dont even know how to connect to someones pc over the net
[03:03] <macogw> unagi: sure if you ssh into their box
[03:03] <pike_> r0b-: apt-get source packagename :)
[03:03] <mneptok> khin: still there?
[03:03] <unagi> tell me more about this ssh macogw
[03:03] <unagi> =)
[03:03] <h1st0> nickkkkkname: whatever you specified in shamba for the user and pass.
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> !ssh
[03:03] <r0b-> no
[03:03] <r0b-> i mean the ubuntu source for like making it
[03:03] <r0b-> :P
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: well... open something to type this into ... I will do it line at a time
[03:03] <macogw> !secureshell
[03:03] <ian_wax> it still asks for root privildeges
[03:03] <atrayo> thanks ubotu, I just caught that when I scrolled back, I'll be sure and check that out. thanks everyone!
[03:03] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[03:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about secureshell - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:03] <macogw> ian_wax: should be asking for your password
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> !botsnack
[03:03] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[03:03] <ian_wax> it doesn't
[03:03] <nickkkkkname> h1st0: i didn't set anything; it just set as shared automatically
[03:03] <macogw> ian_wax: what does it say exactly?
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: SubSection "Display"
[03:03] <macogw> ian_wax: there is no root password on ubuntu
[03:03] <macogw> ian_wax: root account is locked
[03:03] <h1st0> nickkkkkname: well you have it requesting a user and pass is that what you want?  Or do you not want it to ask?
[03:03] <macogw> ian_wax: unless...you using debian?
[03:03] <jmchaffie> macogw: Depth 1
[03:03] <xTaJMoX> ian_wax: close gparted.   press alt-f2.   type gksudo gparted
[03:03] <kitche> ian_wax: sudo <command> or gksu <command>
[03:03] <macogw> jmchaffie: mmhmm
[03:03] <MrElendig> macogw: it's not locked, just not enabled :)
[03:03] <jvai> sounds like bastille installed on ubuntu
[03:03] <macogw> MrElendig: sudo root passwd -L
[03:03] <nickkkkkname> h1st0: not ask
[03:03] <Xago> guys...for some reason when I type anything the 'l' letter it is not responding correctly...except when I mark caps lock and shift key to get this letter

[03:17] <h1st0> nickkkkkname: let me get you a good howto then hold up
[03:17] <macogw> jmchaffie: and all of them have Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[03:17] <jmchaffie> macogw: do that for any and ALL depths you have
[03:17] <r0b-> i wanna take a look at ubuntu's source code
[03:17] <r0b-> where can i downlkoad it
[03:17] <macogw> ian_wax: sudo-ing makes you have root's powers
[03:17] <jmchaffie> macogw: ok
[03:17] <ian_wax> beautiful
[03:19] <ian_wax> gksu worked
[03:19] <unagi> sudo-ing can give you super hero powers to
[03:19] <macogw> r0b-: there's a lot of it and it's spread across a lot of packages
[03:19] <MrElendig> r0b-: source code for what?
[03:19] <MrElendig> the kernel?
[03:19] <macogw> r0b-: to get the source for each package "apt-get source $packageName"
[03:19] <r0b-> yea
[03:19] <h1st0> nickkkkkname: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_share_public_folders_with_read.2Fwrite_permissions_.28Authentication.3DNo.29
[03:19] <r0b-> i want the kernam
[03:19] <r0b-> :)
[03:19] <macogw> r0b-: the kernel source is on kernel.org
[03:19] <jmchaffie> macogw: let me check one more thing... and just for grins... add in the 1280x1024 to one of them and try looking atxrandr again
[03:19] <khin> mneptok i was able to do it using Ubuntu's "connect to server" feature
[03:19] <h1st0> r0b-: apt-get the source packages
[03:19] <xTaJMoX> Xago - Go into your keyboard settings and see if you haven't changed the map or set a shortcut for l
[03:19] <khin> mneptok,  however seeing as this is not portable it would be nice to know something more robust
[03:19] <macogw> r0b-: and if vb's all you know, the kernel will be way out of range of anything you can make sense of
[03:19] <MrElendig> khin: for ssh then sshfs is THE BEST to use
[03:19] <ian_wax> inside gparted it won't allow me to reformat the drive
[03:19] <MrElendig> khin: the connect too uses sshfs
[03:19] <r0b-> ty ty ty
[03:19] <r0b-> so ubuntu is make with c
[03:19] <r0b-> and python
[03:19] <xTaJMoX> ian_wax: right click the partition and choose unmount
[03:19] <nickkkkkname> h1st0: thanks
[03:19] <winbond> are there any free codecs for video, like flac for audio?
[03:19] <crimsun> r0b-: and C++ and Perl and a ton of other libraries and languages.
[03:19] <mneptok> winbond: Theora
[03:19] <ian_wax> and delete
[03:19] <r0b-> ok
[03:19] <imbecile> what can i use to test a mic in linux???... i just want to see if it works
[03:19] <r0b-> then i wont mess
[03:19] <r0b-> lol
[03:19] <xTaJMoX> r0b-: the Linux kernel is C++
[03:19] <crimsun> xTaJMoX: (meaning C and asm where useful, not C++)
[03:19] <ian_wax> does it make any sense to format as fat32
[03:19] <h1st0> imbecile: Applications > Sound and Video > Sound recorder
[03:19] <xTaJMoX> right thats what i meant =]
[03:19] <echosystm> um
[03:19] <macogw> winbond: ogg
[03:19] <jvai> imbecile, try sounder recorder
[03:19] <r0b-> why isnt FireFox made in c++
[03:19] <echosystm> has anyone any idea how to get spdif going in ubuntu?
[03:19] <ian_wax> considering that windows should read it
[03:19] <h1st0> r0b-: ask in #firefox
[03:19] <echosystm> analogue works perfectly
[03:19] <macogw> winbond: ok find mneptok is right. theora's the codec, ogg's the container
[03:19] <jvai> *sound recorder
[03:19] <imbecile> h1st0,  thanks jvai  too
[03:19] <h1st0> r0b-: what are you trying to accomplish?
[03:19] <mneptok> xTaJMoX: not all of it
[03:19] <crimsun> r0b-: is it written in C++ ...
[03:19] <echosystm> but i route the audio from my linux computer through a recording interface (i work at a music studio)
[03:19] <macogw> jmchaffie: still stupidly huge
[03:19] <jvai> np
[03:19] <echosystm> any ideas?
[03:19] <macogw> r0b-: did you ask what firefox is written in?
[03:19] <jmchaffie> macogw: ok what kind of monitor do you have?
[03:19] <macogw> r0b-: it's xulrunner
[03:19] <macogw> jmchaffie: dell
[03:19] <braddcadd> will gcc build an exe that can be ran on windows?
[03:19] <macogw> jmchaffie: really old crt
[03:19] <unagi> sigh does alien always take this long?
[03:19] <knix> braddcadd: You can link windows apps with wine
[03:19] <macogw> jmchaffie: kinda not sure why i have a gateway box and dell monitor...
[03:19] <macogw> braddcadd: if you build it on windows
[03:19] <crimsun> braddcadd: if you use a binary build of GCC that compiles to that.
[03:19] <jmchaffie> macogw: ok then herein lies the problem... refresh rates are probably way off...
[03:19] <cambrose> Sorry to hop in, but I've got a networking question that is blowing my mind,..would anyone be willing to give me a hand with it?
[03:19] <nicholas1> hey guys, why is it when a program crashes sometimes that even after reboot it will just start up and crash again
[03:19] <jmchaffie> macogw: let me check ...
[03:19] <braddcadd> knix: i need to distribute an app i wrote to windoze people
[03:19] <h1st0> nicholas1: what program?
[03:19] <braddcadd> crimsun: sounds like what i need, any more hints (ima gcc newbie)
[03:19] <knix> braddcadd: I have never done it, but I know you can link against wine libs and build win32 exes. That's how they do win32 gaim
[03:19] <jmchaffie> macogw: try something along the lines of HorizSync 28-60 # horizontal refresh frequencies
[03:19] <jmchaffie>   VertRefresh 43-60 # vertical refresh frequencies
[03:19] <nicholas1> well  at first it was a program called stopmotion
[03:19] <TheManiacKY> I just came across the Desktop Effects in Ubuntu. I really really like it however it does have its bugs. Is there any support being made toward improving this functionality? Does my default update-manager look for these improvments? I just want to make sure I'm using the latest and greatest of this feature.
[03:19] <winbond> ok, thanks mneptok, macogw,
[03:19] <nicholas1> but now another one is too
[03:19] <cambrose> Is anyone in here a networking guru? If so, please send me a message
[03:19] <h1st0> TheManiacKYLapto: perhaps you need to peek into #ubuntu-effects
[03:19] <kitche> TheManiacKYLapto: umm well not right now since it's Compiz but the next release will probably have Compiz-fusion
[03:19] <h1st0> channel
[03:19] <nickkkkkname> h1st0: if i want to allow security=user, do i have to add anything else to the end of smb.conf ?
[03:19] <braddcadd> knix: thanks, good hint
[03:19] <h1st0> kitche: yeah it will have compiz fusion plugins availible.
[03:19] <nicholas1> it seems to  do it when it crashed because of high memory usage
[03:19] <braddcadd> knix: i have a python app and most windows users don;t have python installed
[03:19] <h1st0> nickkkkkname: yeah you can add the username and or group down there.  its pretty self explanitory.  on that page you can see how to get it to prompt for password or not.
[03:19] <knix> ouch
[03:19] <nn-laptop> hi all
[03:19] <braddcadd> knix: i hope that isn;t a roadblock for me
[03:19] <macogw> jmchaffie: where would i find the refresh rates for a 90s monitor?
[03:19] <h1st0> nickkkkkname: you would want authentication=YES section on that page.
[03:19] <kitche> h1st0: well since compiz and compiz-fusion is not compatible I doubt compiz will
[03:19] <knix> braddcadd: It's probably less work to bundle python than to churn out a monster python exe
[03:19] <cdehaan> can anyone tell me where the "mcs" compiler would be located, if mono-mcs is installed, in Ubuntu.
[03:19] <sacamano> hey, whats a FOSS equivalent to MS paint? the gimp is way too overkill, i just want to crop an image
[03:19] <knix> braddcadd: I'd throw win32 python in it, and give them a bat script to run, heh
[03:19] <h1st0> kitche: compiz-fusion is the new merge between beryl and compiz
[03:19] <h1st0> or remerege
[03:19] <jmchaffie> macogw: I just gave them to you...
[03:19] <jmchaffie> HorizSync 28-60 # horizontal refresh frequencies
[03:19] <jmchaffie>   VertRefresh 43-60 # vertical refresh frequencies
[03:19] <n2diy> macogw: google
[03:19] <braddcadd> knix: i see, maybe so
[03:19] <macogw> jmchaffie: oh sorry
[03:19] <macogw> jmchaffie: i didnt /lastlog
[03:19] <ian_wax> thanks  for your help.  i just spent 2 hours formatting the drive into NTFS only to reformat
[03:19] <kitche> h1st0: I know but they are not backward compatible
[03:19] <nicholas1> ok people here is the thing, I was using this program called stopmotion which does stopmotion animation with still images, I asked it to add about 80 high resolution images to the collection, it crashed, now iit won't start up
[03:19] <aneviltrend> sacamano: gnu paint should work fine
[03:19] <h1st0> sacamano: CHECK OUT fspoat
[03:19] <braddcadd> knix: i;ve been looking at nullsoft scriptable installer, it runs on linux
[03:19] <sacamano> aneviltrend, can i apt-get that/
[03:19] <h1st0> sacamano: jesus my fingers are retarded fspot
[03:19] <h1st0> sacamano: Applications > Graphics > Fspot
[03:19] <sacamano> histg, i think i have that, can that crop images?
[03:19] <aneviltrend> sacamano even easier, it should be in the add remove program menu under apps
[03:19] <knix> braddcadd: dunno, only installer I've used for multiplatform stuff is installanywhere
[03:19] <h1st0> nicholas1: have you asked the people that made the program?
[03:19] <sacamano> hlst0, aneviltrend, thanks!
[03:19] <nicholas1> no
[03:19] <r0dzilla> anyone running on a p35-based motherboard?
[03:19] <jmchaffie> macogw: oh no problemo :)
[03:19] <h1st0> !anyone | r0dzilla
[03:19] <ubotu> r0dzilla: 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?
[03:19] <Xago> I'd reviewed all keyboard and shortcuts...and the 'l' letter Only appear making this combination
[03:19] <macogw> jmchaffie: still not goin...
[03:19] <cambrose_> Anyone have any experience with the Ralink wireless cards? It can currently see my Wireless router, but is unable to connect to it
[03:19] <macogw> jmchaffie: it was on 28-39 and 43-72 before from the auto thing the reconfigure did
[03:19] <MrElendig> cambrose_: what chipset?
[03:19] <jmchaffie> macogw: also, one thing I would try is commenting out your 640x480 option and see if it is a choice issue
[03:23] <r0dzilla> I was able to install Ubuntu using the alternate cd but all I'm getting is a blank screen with a blinking power light, I know this is some problem with X or the mode it's trying to use but I have been able to get it up and running twice by messing with the grub boot options but I haven't narrowed down what changes are making it come up
[03:23] <macogw> jmchaffie: dude...xrandr gives options down to 320x240
[03:23] <dk0r> When installing ubuntu studio where do I apply onboard raid controller drivers?? Can someone please pm me
[03:23] <h1st0> r0dzilla: edit the xorg.conf and change the video settings.  Like try vesa for a driver and see if that helps.
[03:31] <macogw> r0dzilla: is it a mobile nvidia card?
[03:31] <h1st0> r0dzilla: what type of video card are you trying to get working?
[03:31] <macogw> r0dzilla: with swirly black clouds?
[03:31] <macogw> r0dzilla: cuz if it is, it's noapic
[03:31] <h1st0> dk0r: perhaps ask the studio people
[03:31] <jmchaffie> macogw: I realize that, but your xorg.conf file doesn't does it?
[03:31] <r0dzilla> nVidia GTS 8800 640mb
[03:31] <macogw> jmchaffie: right
[03:31] <dk0r> h1st0: studio is feisty.
[03:31] <capnfantasmo> GRUB error 15 and how to fixit
[03:31] <macogw> r0dzilla: 640mb sounds like a lot to me. i have 2mb
[03:31] <Justi1> Does anyone know if it is possible to run the X windows server with a ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics card?
[03:31] <jmchaffie> macogw: you have options for probably 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 right?
[03:31] <elustran> hi - I'm having some xorg.conf problems too
[03:31] <r0dzilla> but I've been able to get it to come up to X twice and was able to use the update applet
[03:31] <macogw> jmchaffie: and now 1280x1024 for the experiment
[03:31] <MrElendig> Justi1: yes
[03:31] <macogw> r0dzilla: did you do one boot option at a time or multiple?
[03:31] <h1st0> dk0r: wel I don't know what else they have changed.
[03:31] <macogw> r0dzilla: if you try one at a time and figure out what it is then set it to be there every time itll go
[03:31] <elustran> does anyone know a good guide to xorg.conf?
[03:31] <capnfantasmo> can someone help me with a major install problem?
[03:31] <dk0r> h1st0: maybe ill just install via live and the "studio'ize" the installation regarding theme and apps
[03:31] <r0dzilla> it seemed to work when I deleted quiet and savedefault from the .15 kernel
[03:33] <jmchaffie> macogw: so comment out / delete the 640x480 to see if you are given the option. in the meantime, give me a way to send you this file. It's rearlly my last option. it's a complete ATI rage I/II device xorg.conf device file
[03:33] <Justi1> MrElendig: what should I do to make this work? Trying to run the live CD, and trying to do an alternate install give me an error saying that the x windows server cannot start
[03:33] <r0dzilla> I haven't been able to get the .16 kernel to come up at all
[03:33] <h1st0> dk0r: rather than just ask them?
[03:33] <dk0r> Can someone please explain to me how a raid installation will work off the live cd??
[03:33] <macogw> jmchaffie<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:33] <h1st0> okay
[03:33] <jmchaffie> ok... on it's way...
[03:33] <dk0r> h1st0: they tell me to come here :)
[03:35] <MrElendig> Justi1: try the fglrx driver
[03:35] <gbutler288> how do I install a gcompris package
[03:35] <elustran> hello?
[03:35] <someone2005> Whats the best way to add files to a folder with in the linux os ?
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: well what do you need to do specify drivers for your raid card or something?  Or just set up a raid?
[03:35] <r0dzilla> is there a way to boot straight to the command line?
[03:35] <gbutler288> i downloaded the tarball
[03:35] <h1st0> r0dzilla: yes it should be on your grub list
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: i can setup the array in my bios (its an oboard controller) i just..
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: am unfamiliar with the ubuntu gui installer. will it ask me to provide drivers mid isntall?
[03:35] <r0dzilla> rescue mode? that didn't seem to find lvm partitions when I tried it, let me try again
[03:35] <dk0r> install*
[03:35] <macogw> r0dzilla: did you install fglrx?
[03:35] <cambrose_> I am having a problem connecting (but not seeing the AP) with the RT61/RT2561 chipset
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: it probably has the drivers already.  It will just ask you how you want to partition it.
[03:35] <fotoflo> hmm i had a windows drive automaticly mounting on my system, but i restarted in windows and then rebooted in linux and now the windows drive isnt mounted
[03:35] <capnfantasmo> I have a dual boot of Windows XP SP2 and Ubuntu 7.04 on two different drives. after I installed ubuntu I restarted to use some windows specific apps and I get GRUB 1.5 Error 15
[03:35] <Justi1> MrElendig: I followed the instructions for installing fglrx, but i became stuck when I had to open the "restricted drivers manager", because the gtk wouldn't load
[03:35] <gbutler288> so how do I install a tarball I downloaded ?
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: why would it have the drivers allready?
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: i do not have to supply them, like in windows?
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: probably not
[03:35] <kikkomanchow> /j/j #php
[03:35] <fotoflo> the line in my fstab looks like this /dev/hda1    /media/windows vfat  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: why is that?
[03:35] <r0dzilla> macogw: it's an nvidia 8800 card
[03:35] <fotoflo> how do i remount this?
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: how do i know if the included drivers are not outdated?
[03:35] <r0dzilla> I need to get the nvidia drivers
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: when it bombs during instlal
[03:35] <macogw> r0dzilla: oh sorry...who said x1400?
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: there is no way of knowing untill you try.
[03:35] <tucci> I installed compiz fusion awhile ago without a problem, restarted my computer and now I can't figure out how to restart compiz
[03:35] <r0dzilla> seems ubuntu has the ata boot slowdown too
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: if it doesn't see the drive then there is no drivers for it.
[03:35] <Xago> I'd reviewed all keyboard and shortcuts...and the 'l' letter Only appear making this combination
[03:35] <Justi1> macogw: I mentioned the x1400
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: Just try it first.
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: but just because it works, doesnt means its working efficiently, does it ?
[03:35] <macogw> Justi1: do you have fglrx
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: but if it isn't broke don't fix it.
[03:35] <Phydoux> Can someone tell me how to mount a external USB SATA drive?
[03:35] <MrElendig> Justi1: ther shoud be a guide in the wiki to install it from the cli
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: linux is not like windows
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: but what if it could be running 'better' ?
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: im a windows/osx user. I have to relate to something. sorry.
[03:35] <gbutler288> Can someone tell me how to install a tar.gz file I downloaded.
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: well then after the install update whatever you want I don't know what to tell you.
[03:35] <Justi1> macogw: I tried to install it, but I couldn't open the "restricted drivers manager"
[03:35] <macogw> r0dzilla: GTX or GTS or is it something else?
[03:35] <MrElendig> Phydoux: if it don't automount, then plug it in and check dmesg
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: You have to get out of that mind set that you need the latest and greatest driver like in windows.
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: well, lets say the installer does not recognize the controller. then what?
[03:35] <macogw> Justi1: do it on the command line
[03:35] <capnfantasmo> can anyone help me with GRUB error 15
[03:35] <elustran> am I visible on this channel?
[03:35] <r0dzilla> macogw: GTS 8800 640mb
[03:35] <fotoflo> elustran, yes
[03:35] <MrElendig> gbutler288: extract it and read the install and readme file that shoud be included
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: the drivers just work in linux.  They release updates for bug fixes etc.. but you can bet therre probably aren't that many bugs with drivers that are there in the release you are trying.
[03:35] <gbutler288> o.k.
[03:35] <Justi1> macogw: i typed in    gksu -D /usr/share/applications/restricted-manager.desktop /usr/bin/restricted-manager   but it gave me an error, something about GTK
[03:35] <MrElendig> gbutler288: but check first if you can get the app with apt first
[03:35] <tucci> I have compiz fusion installed and it works, but how do I turn it on by default?
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: then you are probably going to have to use a alternate iso and fudge around in expert mode loading some drivers or something.  idk.  But I would just try the live cd first.
[03:35] <cambrose_> MrElendig: I am using the RT61/2561 chipset
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: if the installer doesnt recognize by raid controller, will it ask me to provide drivers or..?
[03:35] <Drk_Guy> Justi1, in Ubuntu it's aint su it is sudo
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: no
[03:35] <r0dzilla> seems that the ata problem is messing up lvm detection
[03:35] <macogw> Justi1: figure out what the error was
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: you will then be stuck doing it yourself.
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: thats why the there already there I bet.
[03:35] <MrElendig> cambrose_: got the firmware installed?
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: thats called alternate mode?
[03:35] <Drk_Guy> Hi guys!
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: just trust me.
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: Alternate iso
[03:35] <r0dzilla> same ata boot problem fedora 7 has (using about 3 different distros here lol)
[03:35] <macogw> r0dzilla: that card should be supported with the binary nvidia drivers ubuntu provides
[03:35] <Drk_Guy> I am going to give PuppyLinux a shot
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: ok. trying to get a grasp on the terminology. ty
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: well. I will try it. Are you familiar w/ wine as well?
[03:35] <cambrose_> MrElendig: It shows up in my hardware manager as well as it can see my access point, but it just can't connect, so I assume the FW is there
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: the alternate iso is a text based install with a lot more options
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: yes
[03:35] <fotoflo> hi all: i had a windows drive automaticly mounting on my system, but i restarted in windows and then rebooted in linux and now the windows drive isnt mounted
[03:35] <gbutler288> sh configure --prefix=/home/bruno/gcompris  do I type this as is or do I change this?
[03:35] <TheManiacKYLapto> Is there an application that will let me stream my iTunes music from my macintosh to my ubuntu laptop?
[03:35] <r0dzilla> any way to get around ata boot slowdown problem?  there was a workaround for fedora before their last kernel update but I forget what the workaround is
[03:35] <fotoflo> the line in my fstab looks like this /dev/hda1    /media/windows vfat  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0      --- how do i remount it?
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: is the cmd line installer just that? all cmd, blinking cursor kind of thing?
[03:35] <Phydoux> MrElendig, What am I looking for?
[03:35] <macogw> r0dzilla: /lastlog r0dzilla
[03:35] <macogw> bah
[03:35] <macogw> sorry
[03:35] <jvai> ok.. ty uall..
[03:35] <megobite> will ubuntu release a 2.6.22 kernel update?
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: well not exactly its like the begining of the windows 2000 installer
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: what's your question about wine?
[03:35] <Drk_Guy> !gutsy \ megobite
[03:35] <dk0r> h1sto: so there is a gui?
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: yeah text based gui
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: well its regarding VST instruments.
[03:35] <Drk_Guy> !gutsy | megobite
[03:35] <ubotu> megobite: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule - Roadmap and specifications: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy - Support in #ubuntu+1
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: oh ok. i can live with that.
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: ahh that I would have no idea.
[03:35] <cambrose_> MrElendig:Is that a decent assumption to have?
[03:35] <Drk_Guy> Megobite, i think they will build Gutsy with that krnl
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: but if you boot the live cd you can see if support for all your hardware is there.  If it is then just go ahead and install.
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: np. How much of a pain will it be to get a printer working?
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: is there a list of supported hardware?
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: what type of printer?
[03:35] <Drk_Guy> dk0r, depends on the manufacturer
[03:35] <Phydoux> MrElendig, Could this be it? "ata2: SATA link down 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 0 SControl 300)"
[03:35] <dk0r> NOT lexmark
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: yeah let me get you list.
[03:35] <MrElendig> cambrose_: check that you have the firmware installed
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: i can google:) ty
[03:35] <dk0r> hehe
[03:35] <cambrose_> MrElendig: And how exactly do I do that?
[03:35] <Drk_Guy> I.E., it was a pain i the .... for me tio set-up the Lexmark Z600
[03:35] <Quentusrex> how could I mount the folder /data to the folder /home/user/data
[03:35] <dk0r> canon, epson, hp printers
[03:35] <jo3nix> will ubuntu release a 2.6.22 kernel update?
[03:35] <MrElendig> cambrose_: it's probably in /lib/firmware/
[03:35] <dk0r> they easily configured?
[03:35] <Quentusrex> so that the user 'user' can access it without leaving his home directory
[03:35] <MrElendig> if it's installed
[03:35] <dk0r> hey!
[03:35] <dk0r> my mobo is on the support list!
[03:35] <dk0r> ASUS A8N-SLi
[03:35] <dk0r> Sweet-!
[03:35] <dk0r> "Everything is working fine (tested on UBUNTU 6.10). Sata drives are detected with the install CD (unlike Windows XP where you need a floppy disk)"
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: allready got it. but ty :)
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: my mobo is supported
[03:35] <cambrose_> MrElendig: There are .bin files for 2561 and 2661, so I assume that is a yes for me having the FW
[03:35] <Quentusrex> anybody know how to mount/link one folder to another?
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: yea you won't have problems with most printers either.  cups does a nice job of that.
[03:35] <jo3nix> anyone know if there is a bind9 channel?
[03:35] <jo3nix> heh
[03:35] <macogw> dk0r: we get it
[03:35] <h1st0> Quentusrex: what exactly are you trying to do?
[03:35] <macogw> dk0r: linux has great hardware support in terms of parts for building a system
[03:35] <dk0r> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards
[03:35] <macogw> dk0r: it's peripherals that are tricky
[03:35] <dk0r> why isnt m-audio on that list?
[03:35] <r0dzilla> ah I found it
[03:35] <Quentusrex> I want to mount the folder /data to the folder /home/user/data
[03:35] <Quentusrex> that way I can restrict the user to his home folder, but he can still access the folder /data
[03:35] <r0dzilla> noirqdebug on kernel line is workaround for ata boot problem
[03:35] <macogw> Quentusrex: do you want to keep it at /data and just be able to access it that way?
[03:35] <h1st0> Quentusrex: so you want to create a link from /data to /home/user/data not mount it.
[03:35] <dk0r> I thought m-audio was big in linux?
[03:35] <Quentusrex> aah
[03:35] <macogw> Quentusrex: or do you want it to moutn at /home/user/data entirely
[03:35] <Quentusrex> I want it to stay at /data
[03:35] <h1st0> Quentusrex: then you need a sym link
[03:35] <Quentusrex> but I want to be able to access it at /home/user/data
[03:35] <macogw> Quentusrex: if just a link then, "ln -s /data /home/user/data"
[03:35] <Quentusrex> thanks
[03:35] <jmchaffie> macogw: Ok sorry for the delay.. it should be there any second
[03:35] <ziggy> Hello
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: what is m-audio?
[03:35] <cambrose_> MrElendig: What should I do from here?
[03:35] <Hitomaro> anyone know when staples close?
[03:35] <macogw> Quentusrex: then if you go to /home/user/data/stuff itll sort of redirect to /data/stuff but not change the path you see
[03:35] <macogw> jmchaffie: ok thanks
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: http://m-audio.com
[03:35] <macogw> Hitomaro: usually 9
[03:35] <macogw> Hitomaro: 6 on sundays
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: they manufacture my soundcard.
[03:35] <Hitomaro> thanks macogw
[03:35] <r0dzilla> haven't used apt-get in a while, is there a way to search for packages using the apt-get cli tool?
[03:35] <dk0r> h1st0: its ok., they have a linux driver on their support page.
[03:35] <MrElendig> cambrose: you might try ndiswrapper
[03:35] <Hitomaro> macogw: so when do they open?
[03:35] <macogw> r0dzilla: apt-cache search
[03:35] <macogw> Hitomaro: dont know. i'm still asleep when they open :)
[03:35] <jmchaffie> How about some nVidia help? Anyone got a line on the latest nVidia drivers? Easy install?
[03:35] <Hitomaro> :)
[03:35] <macogw> jmchaffie: sh NV<tab><enter>
[03:35] <r0dzilla> macogw: thanks is the nvidia drivers in a repo or do you have to use their install script?
[03:35] <h1st0> dk0r: from the forums it looks liek ubuntu will auto detect that as well.
[03:36] <h1st0> dk0r: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2940303
[03:36] <macogw> r0dzilla: depends how new your card is
[03:36] <ziggy> Hey guys, I am having some trouble with games, steam in particular. I started a source mod, and it loads, but before it loads to the menu, it freezes my entire computer (other people refer to it as a crash I guess). Any way to fix this error?
[03:36] <Hitomaro> I'm an early bird.. usually wake up around 6
[03:36] <macogw> r0dzilla: was it you that said 8800?
[03:36] <jmchaffie> macogw: that grabs the latest ones?
[03:36] <macogw> r0dzilla: thats supported in ubuntu's repos
[03:36] <r0dzilla> macogw: yes 8800
[03:36] <macogw> jmchaffie: well you have to wget them first ;)
[03:36] <macogw> jmchaffie: that just does the installer bit of it.  requires sudo now i think about it
[03:36] <Xago> I can't write correctLy the L Letter...onLy if I use in Uppercase :(
[03:36] <r0dzilla> macogw: what's the actual name of the package?
[03:36] <jmchaffie> macogw: oh ok... I have a 7600gs... I should've been more clear.. sorry
[03:37] <h1st0> ziggy: has it ever worked?
[03:37] <dk0r> h1st0: yeah. Another question. With my mobo ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Asus_A8N-SLI ) I will not have to provide drivers for the onboard silicon  raid controller?
[03:37] <macogw> r0dzilla: nvidia-glx should work
[03:37] <ziggy> h1st0: CS:Source has
[03:37] <h1st0> dk0r: it doesn't appear that way according to that.
[03:37] <h1st0> ziggy: well maybe there is a problem with that mod then.
[03:38] <macogw> jmchaffie: and you're sure that's not supported by ubuntu's nvidia binary, right?
[03:38] <someone2005> apt - get...?
[03:38] <dk0r> h1st0: that page says "EVERYTHING is working fine"
[03:38] <jmchaffie> macogw: I'm having trouble w/ second-life. Everything else works fine. But ever since I upgraded the other day to this card.. it crashes immediately.
[03:38] <dk0r> h1st0: i would assume that includes the onboard raid controller, no ?
[03:38] <h1st0> dk0r: yep
[03:38] <ziggy> h1st0: Well I am running it on ubuntu, and my brother runs it fine on windows and fedora
[03:38] <jmchaffie> macogw: Oh it's supported, just hoping that the latest drivers might fix a couple of bugs
[03:38] <macogw> jmchaffie: ah lovely
[03:38] <macogw> jmchaffie: oh ok
[03:38] <dk0r> h1st0: so then, I will not be required to provide raid drivers for the controller, correct?
[03:38] <h1st0> dk0r: but I don't have that hardware so I don't knwo for sure so the only way to really find out is to try.
[03:38] <ziggy> h1st0: I was wondering if there was some sort of fix for those general crashes.
[03:38] <dk0r> h1st0: k.
[03:38] <h1st0> dk0r: correct
[03:38] <h1st0> dk0r: its not like windows
[03:39] <macogw> jmchaffie: well http://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual has the directions you need
[03:39] <h1st0> dk0r: just get windows out of your head.
[03:39] <dk0r> h1st0: hopefully we can. this all seems like a headache. but ill try it anyways
[03:39] <h1st0> dk0r: it will take a lot of getting used to linux but once you get it probably bout a month or two of use.  You start realizing why its better.
[03:39] <h1st0> dk0r: just stick with it.
[03:39] <dk0r> h1st0: yeah. thats my intention. atleast for a few months of use.
[03:40] <macogw> dk0r: raid controllers are one point where compatibility is harder to guarantee
[03:40] <jmchaffie> macogw: ok cool. I'll try that. ONlly ones i've found so far have been horrific at best.. LOL. Hope that file helps you out. if not I can give you the whole .conf file, but I don't think it would be your system... might be worth a shot, just back your up first.. ;)
[03:40] <dk0r> well its onboard, and the hardware support list says everything is working, so.. /shrug. will have to try it :)
[03:40] <macogw> jmchaffie: hah ok
[03:40] <echosystm> whats the best version of ubuntu to use ona  core2duo? i386?
[03:40] <ziggy> h1st0: So.. what do you think I should do?
[03:40] <echosystm> i would like to use 64-bit if possible :[
[03:41] <macogw> jmchaffie: of course the one computer i have that doesnt have intel graphics is also the one that is too old for xp to be bearable

[03:41] <macogw> echosystm: if you want to get Flash easily, x86 is better, but in general AMD64 (64-bit) would be better, you'll just need to do a bit of fiddling to make 32bit flash work on 64bit ubuntu
[03:41] <ziggy> i386
[03:41] <bruenig> gbutler288, means that the c compiler cannot create executables, probably that you don't have gcc installed
[03:41] <echosystm> is there an intel 64bit version?
[03:42] <echosystm> oh
[03:42] <ziggy> echosystm: i386** imo
[03:42] <echosystm> i'll stick with i386 then
[03:42] <echosystm> :P
[03:42] <knix> echosystm: intel uses amd64
[03:42] <macogw> gbutler288: see config.log and see what it says
[03:42] <ziggy> :D
[03:42] <emet> hi
[03:42] <fotoflo> hmm im having a rather serious problem
[03:42] <echosystm> also i have a p5b motherboard
[03:42] <maxagaz> hi
[03:42] <emet> I'm using ubuntu
[03:42] <echosystm> apparently, im going to be in for a bit of drama
[03:42] <echosystm> ?
[03:42] <ziggy> Fotoflo: Whats that?
[03:42] <echosystm> something about that intel chipset
[03:42] <echosystm> whats the deal with that?
[03:42] <jmchaffie> Ok kids, I'm outta here for a bit. C u after while.
[03:43] <macogw> echosystm: the fiddling i'm talking about is installing a 32bit browser (totally possible) and putting flash on that instead of on the 64-bit firefox that comes pre-installed
[03:43] <SniperXPX> yo im havin probs with the GRUB bootloader on feisty 7.04
[03:43] <jmchaffie> macogw: I'll be back in a bit. lemme know.
[03:43] <ziggy> I dont know, I run an intel chipset with a core2 duo
[03:43] <macogw> jmchaffie: restarting X?
[03:43] <jmchaffie> yep.
[03:43] <knix> You don't need a 32bit browser
[03:43] <emet> why didn't adobe release 64-bit flash yet
[03:43] <fotoflo> ziggy: my windows filesystem, that always used to mount, stopped mounting, and now when i try to mount it it says mount: special device /dev/hda1 does not exist""
[03:43] <knix> You can use nspluginwrapper and run 32bit plugins in 64bit FF
[03:43] <gbutler288> so is that an apt-get install gcc?
[03:43] <emet> they said like they will like 6 months ago
[03:43] <Ominous> #;ua
[03:43] <Ominous> oops
[03:43] <macogw> knix: oh neat
[03:43] <jmchaffie> making some other changes too... be back in a few min.
[03:43] <knix> macogw: Yea it's pretty slick
[03:43] <SniperXPX> how do i change the bootloader menu so that my windows partitions will be default, my parents wont know what to do on the boot screen
[03:43] <macogw> knix: i think konqueror lets you use 32bit plugins with no prob on 64bit
[03:43] <knix> :)
[03:43] <maxagaz> my macbook doesn't boot anymore, I know with the install cd that my hfs and linux partition are still there, so how can I get it to boot again ?
[03:43] <macogw> knix: didnt know ndiswrapper had more uses
[03:44] <knix> They probably alredy have to wrap them
[03:44] <macogw> maxagaz: does grub come up?
[03:44] <knix> macogw: not ndis, nspluginwrapper
[03:44] <macogw> knix: oh i read too fast
[03:44] <knix> =P
[03:44] <emet> lol!
[03:44] <ziggy> fotoflo: Are you talking about accessing and putting files in there?
[03:44] <maxagaz> macogw: no, it does'nt
[03:44] <macogw> maxagaz: nothing comes up?
[03:44] <echosystm> ok now
[03:44] <emet> hey next version of ubuntu will have an open source flash player included no problem
[03:44] <fotoflo> ziggy: just mounting, for the time bieng
[03:44] <echosystm> what is the best wya for me to resize my ntfs partition?
[03:44] <macogw> emet: current has it in the repos
[03:44] <emet> native 64-bit support
[03:44] <maxagaz> macogw: I just get a grey screen with a small apple trying to load something
[03:44] <macogw> emet: it's Gnash
[03:44] <echosystm> so i can fit linux on here
[03:45] <macogw> emet: its just that the updated one actually works well enough for YouTube
[03:45] <fotoflo> ziggy: it used to me automaticly mounted (i have an entry in my fstab) but i rebooted into windows yesterday and now its like this
[03:45] <gangrene> Quick question: how does one get rid of firefox extensions in linux?
[03:45] <emet> macogw, yes but included on the CD
[03:45] <macogw> maxagaz: oh...did you follow a howto or anything?
[03:45] <MrElendig> echosystm: gparted
[03:45] <echosystm> will i get data loss?
[03:45] <ziggy> fotoflo: I am sorry, I am new to the software, I dont quite understand the terminology
[03:45] <MrElendig> echosystm: but defrag and run checkdisk first
[03:45] <emet> macogw, it works with SWFv7 and lower
[03:45] <macogw> maxagaz: because i recall hearing that macs dont have a bootloader that you can get ubuntu into so you have to install bootcamp first or something
[03:45] <fotoflo> ziggy: oh
[03:45] <echosystm> okies
[03:45] <ziggy> fotoflo: Are you double installing?
[03:45] <macogw> emet: that's YouTube-capable, isn't it?
[03:46] <sirus> anyone play with eggdrops?
[03:46] <fotoflo> ziggy: uhm, maybe you should help someone else then
[03:46] <gbutler288> I tried the apt-get install gcc and it says there isn't anything to download?
[03:46] <ziggy> fotoflo: Like you have windows and ubuntu installed on the same hd
[03:46] <maxagaz> macogw: no, I didn't (except the howto install ubuntu on a macbook, which worked perfectly)
[03:46] <emet> macogw, yep! and that's all that matters for alot of people lol
[03:46] <ziggy> fotoflo: Aight
[03:46] <agnustic> I installed bootcamp so I could install ubuntu on my mini
[03:46] <gbutler288> what should I do next?
[03:46] <fotoflo> Ziggy: thanks anyway though
[03:46] <maxagaz> macogw: ubuntu used to work in double boot, but now I can't get anything
[03:46] <macogw> maxagaz: what's the last thing you changed?
[03:47] <MrElendig> gbutler288: apt-get install build-essensials(sp?)
[03:47] <macogw> maxagaz: undo that
[03:47] <MrElendig> esensials
[03:47] <MrElendig> or something
[03:47] <MrElendig> (my english suck :/)
[03:47] <macogw> gbutler288: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:47] <fotoflo> Hi all, so im having a really annoying problem. im trying to mount my windows drive (which i had working in the past) but now mount cant find /dev/hda1
[03:47] <fotoflo> can anyone help?
[03:47] <agnustic> anyone here running oracle with ubuntu
[03:47] <macogw> fotoflo: are you using the -15 kernel?
[03:47] <MrElendig> fotoflo: fdisk -l
[03:47] <maxagaz> macogw: I don't know, actually, it's not my computer, but this of my boss
[03:47] <macogw> fotoflo: if so, it's a /dev/sd*
[03:47] <macogw> maxagaz: oh
[03:48] <maxagaz> macogw: I can't load anything, so I can't undo anything
[03:48] <gbutler288> says it couldn't find package build-essentials?
[03:48] <MarcC> how can I view startup console errors after I'm logged into GNOME?
[03:48] <macogw> gbutler288: with or without an s at the end?
[03:48] <ziggy> Hey everyone, I am having a problem with World of Warcraft resolution. I went in the wtf config, and make it so it started as OpenGL and d3d, and I still cant make the resolution right without a crash. Anyone have experience with this?
[03:48] <macogw> MarcC: system > admin > log viewer
[03:48] <fotoflo> mac: im using a -16
[03:48] <macogw> fotoflo: all updated?
[03:48] <gbutler288> no s   thanks!
[03:49] <MarcC> macogw: thank you
[03:49] <fotoflo> macogw, i think so,  everything was working until yesterday, when i rebooted into windows for a bit
[03:49] <macogw> fotoflo: the new libata made everything /dev/sd* and then a bunch of people complained so they sent it back to sda for sata and hda for ide
[03:49] <gbutler288> so why dont' these come standard in Feisty?
[03:49] <gangrene> can anyone help me remove a firefox extension?
[03:49] <SniperXPX> hey im havin probs with the GRUB bootloader on feisty 7.04 -- I need to be able to set a different partiton as the default one highlights when the bootloader appears
[03:49] <sirus> How can I connect an eggdrop to an ipv6?
[03:49] <macogw> fotoflo: did your boss do anything bad?
[03:49] <macogw> gbutler288: because most people dont need to build from source
[03:49] <fotoflo> macogw, its my home box
[03:49] <macogw> gbutler288: only people with hardware from evil companies and programmers
[03:50] <gbutler288> was there a better way to do that?
[03:50] <fotoflo> my boss gave me a big job that i needed windows software to do
[03:50] <macogw> gangrene: it's in tools > add-ons
[03:50] <gbutler288> o.k. fotoflo I had to read that twice I thought for sure you said my Boss gave me a blow job.
[03:50] <fotoflo> MrElendig, fdisk -l didnt return anything
[03:50] <gbutler288> hahahah
[03:50] <John`> how can i mount an image iso file through a network drive?
[03:50] <gangrene> macogw: I've uninstalled it, but everytime I restart it's still there
[03:50] <macogw> gbutler288: build-essential installs all the compilers and autotools and make and everything
[03:50] <MrElendig> fotoflo: sudo it
[03:51] <John`> in terminal
[03:51] <macogw> gangrene: weird. ask on #firefox @ irc.mozilla.com maybe?
[03:51] <ziggy> Anyone have experience with changing the world of warcraft resolution?
[03:51] <SniperXPX> gangrene:try disabling it then uninstalling it
[03:51] <fotoflo> gbutler288, you know i wouldnt tell on him like that
[03:51] <gbutler288> hahaha
[03:51] <robby> Hi all
[03:51] <fotoflo> both of you guys, good call, sda1
[03:51] <ziggy> Hey robby
[03:51] <gbutler288> takes mind out of the gutter
[03:51] <IdleOne> !ohmy | gbutler288 fotoflo
[03:51] <ubotu> gbutler288 fotoflo: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:51] <John`> anyone know?
[03:52] <macogw> John`: (not trying to be rude) have you checked google?
[03:52] <goldbond> how do i recursively add a user permission to edit a folder?
[03:52] <ziggy> John: An iso on a network virtual drive?
[03:52] <robby> i bored
[03:52] <goldbond> (with the command line)?
[03:52] <macogw> goldbond: -R
[03:52] <John`> yes
[03:52] <gangrene> SniperXPX: no dice, it will 'disable' but not uninstall
[03:53] <John`> in a windows network drive
[03:53] <macogw> goldbond: wait are you chmod-ing a folder, you mean?
[03:53] <fotoflo> MrElendig, macogw: cool, it mounted, thanks
[03:53] <macogw> goldbond: if you're doing a chmod add -R
[03:53] <goldbond> thanks
[03:53] <ziggy> John: I would say your best bet is to put that iso up for transfer between that network so they can virtually mount it.
[03:54] <wil> saludos a todos
[03:54] <ziggy> John: Like download it, and then mount it
[03:54] <macogw> !ubuntu-es wil
[03:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-es wil - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:54] <SniperXPX> gangrene: you've probably tried restarting firefox, right?
[03:54] <fotoflo> wil, adios
[03:54] <wil> disculpen alguien me pueda ayudar?
[03:54] <robby> thank god for xanax
[03:54] <macogw> wil: Si tu hablas Espanol, va a #ubuntu-es
[03:54] <gangrene> SniperXPX: yes
[03:54] <fotoflo> copying from one drive to another - 18 MB/s!
[03:55] <John`> what do you mean by that ziggy?
[03:55] <RoC_MasterMind> !es wil
[03:55] <John`> i use "sudo mount -o loop smbfs //6CBF0D505A9A43B/sc/BroodWar.iso /mnt" but it doesn't work
[03:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about es wil - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:55] <SniperXPX> gangrene: what plugin/add-on is it exactly?
[03:55] <RoC_MasterMind> !es > wil
[03:55] <gangrene> SniperXPX: Conkeror
[03:55] <macogw> RoC_MasterMind: i just told him in spanish to go there
[03:55] <macogw> RoC_MasterMind: though i was a bit rude as i used informal speech to someone i dont know
[03:55] <fotoflo> ziggy, now that ive fixed my problem (and im waiting while i copy 8gb from one drive to another) i can talk to you about it, if you still wanna know
[03:56] <RoC_MasterMind> So I saw macogw...but now everyone knows the code.
[03:56] <macogw> RoC_MasterMind: and !es doesnt do anything...look what ubotu said
[03:56] <ziggy> John: Well, you need it on a network, and the way that works is that you can place it in a file that is accessable by everyone in that network, so they can get that ISO, and they can use that iso.
[03:56] <gangrene> SniperXPX: I've asked in their channel already, but no response
[03:56] <John`> however i was able to use "sudo mount -t smbfs //6CBF0D505A9A43B/sc /mnt
[03:56] <ziggy> Fotoflo: About wow?
[03:56] <ReMeMBeR> hi
[03:56] <RoC_MasterMind> Try it yourself macogw /msg ubotu !es
[03:56] <tjs> whats the current popular -active- 'desklets' solution ? I just want a clock and a mail checker, and perhaps a bar, but it seems projects like gdesklets etc are fairly dead these days, is the fad over?
[03:56] <SniperXPX> gangrene: heh,was about to tell you to go there
[03:56] <fotoflo> ziggy, about mounting a filesystem
[03:56] <macogw> RoC_MasterMind: i tried !ubuntu-es and you did !es and both times ubotu said "i dont know anything about...."
[03:56] <mortuis99> !wine
[03:57] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:57] <victorb> hi there
[03:57] <RoC_MasterMind> macogw, because you need to put a > or | between the command and the person's name.
[03:57] <gangrene> SniperXPX: I asked in here because I thought it would be relatively simple.. but it appears not
[03:57] <macogw> RoC_MasterMind: ohhh
[03:57] <ReMeMBeR> Sorry maybe i came wrong channel i don't mind but can i ask a question?
[03:57] <ziggy> Fotoflo: im good, i just need to know about bf2, CS:Source mods and wow
[03:57] <RoC_MasterMind> That was your mistake and mine the first time.
[03:57] <Justi1> macogw: When I try to open 'restricted drivers managers' to finish installing fglrx, i get the error  Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

[03:57] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:57] <SniperXPX> gangrene: im new here dude, im here to ask a question about the GRUB bootloader lol
[03:57] <macogw> Justi1: i get gtk warnings where it still works
[03:57] <Justi1> macogw: no, nothing happend

[03:58] <ReMeMBeR> macogw i have an servudaemon.ini it has a password encrption as ;
[03:58] <macogw> Justi1: ok sorry to ask again, but which graphics card are you?
[03:58] <Bonhomme> I've tried to do a dist-upgrade from dapper to feisty - is this generally considerede possible? I'm getting a lot of dependency errors, specifically one which doesn't want to go away with just -f

[03:59] <fotoflo> i have lots of important windows apps that i want to run, what is the likelyhood that wine will run them?
[03:59] <SniperXPX> !GRUB
[03:59] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:59] <macogw> fotoflo: check the winehq database
[03:59] <ziggy> Fotoflo: 50/50
[03:59] <RoC_MasterMind> !upgrade > Bonhomme
[03:59] <LDZ420> !ssh
[03:59] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[03:59] <Bonhomme> RoC_MasterMind: ok, so I always thought that was a frontend to apt-get?
[03:59] <macogw> fotoflo: and if it says no, check transgaming.com for games and codeweavers.com for other stuff
[03:59] <macogw> Justi1: do you have a working gui in 2D right now?
[03:59] <ziggy> fotoflo: half the files I installed worked, the other half was more buggy than rotten soup.
[03:59] <RoC_MasterMind> Bonhomme, yes, but there's an extra 20% that handles corner cases and the like...it's got a little more intel in it than apt-get does.
[03:59] <Stoffer> can someone help me with bluetooth file transfers?  I can send files from my new LG to my pc, but not from my pc to the phone.  It always says transfer failed
[04:00] <Stoffer> or unable to connect
[04:00] <ReMeMBeR> I have servudaemon.ini files and it has a password.it's encrpytion mode is ( Password=ux6B1D47088AFDE60BA249083FEEF7B6D8 ) I must decryption that pass how can i do it?
[04:00] <fotoflo> can i just go into my windows drive and try running stuff?
[04:00] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: are you trying to break into other people's stuff?
[04:00] <Justi1> macogw: I'm not sure what you mean (I'm really new to this); all my screen displays is text
[04:00] <Bonhomme> RoC_MasterMind: so let's say I've already tried using apt-get, can the update manager save me now?
[04:00] <macogw> Justi1: GUI = graphical user interface....you can use your mouse
[04:00] <ReMeMBeR> macogw where can i ask this ?
[04:01] <Bonhomme> RoC_MasterMind: it's already done a lot of stuff including removing and upgrading some packages
[04:01] <nich0s> ReMeMBeR: What do you need to decrypt that for?
[04:01] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: well, are you trying to break into other people's stuff? if so, on a channel for crackers
[04:01] <Justi1> macogw: I can't use my mouse
[04:01] <ReMeMBeR> nich0s this is my exam question.Not anyones pass this is only exam.
[04:01] <macogw> Justi1: and no pictures right?
[04:01] <Justi1> macogw: nope
[04:01] <Skrypt> how do I install icon themes?
[04:02] <macogw> Justi1: first see if you can get a 2D gui as installing the binary drivers is easiest through that
[04:02] <nich0s> ReMeMBeR: You're best bet would be to go to the channel for crackers.
[04:02] <MrElendig> sc0tt_:  in gnome?
[04:02] <MrElendig> er.. Skrypt
[04:02] <ReMeMBeR> macogw this is only examination question.Not other people's pass.I am not want to hack anyone.Only this is my exam.
[04:02] <macogw> Justi1: if you do "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and scroll to Display, what driver is listed?
[04:02] <Skrypt> Yes, sir.
[04:02] <ubuntu_> hi
[04:02] <MrElendig> Skrypt: drag and drop in the theme manager
[04:02] <Skrypt> the .jar?
[04:02] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: ethical hacker certs?
[04:02] <ReMeMBeR> nich0s sorry i don't understand.My english isn't good.
[04:03] <ubuntu_> i wanna install ubuntu onto a raid without the alternative cd
[04:03] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: if you're taking a test, isn't it cheating to ask us?
[04:03] <EADG> ReMeMBeR: You need a web site that has a "Rainbow Table" to crack that.
[04:03] <MrElendig> Skrypt: icon themes shoudn't be in jar....
[04:03] <ReMeMBeR> macogw i don't understand you.my english is bad.
[04:03] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: are you taking a test to make you someone that tests people's computers to see if hackers can get in
[04:03] <ubuntu_> i wanna install ubuntu to a spare partition and copy it to my riad
[04:03] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: ?
[04:03] <Skrypt> MrElendig, I've just downloaded the icon package. It's in a .jar file.

[04:03] <nich0s> EADG: I hope he has a decent proc.

[04:04] <macogw> gbutler288: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-calendar
[04:04] <ubuntu_> i did that but it isnt working
[04:04] <illsci> should you use the amd64 iso's
[04:04] <ReMeMBeR> macogw this is only dream.in really no one hass that pass.This is only exam allright?
[04:04] <gbutler288> hahahahah
[04:04] <Justi1> macogw: There is nothing titled display
[04:04] <ubuntu_> any ideas?
[04:04] <MrElendig> Skrypt: look around the place you got it, icon theme susualy comes as tar.gz or bz2
[04:04] <EADG> nich0s: Site does all the hard work.
[04:04] <ReMeMBeR> macogw but i must do this question for finish my school
[04:04] <illsci> hey what iso do you use to install on a 64bit quad core intel box?
[04:04] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: does your school let you ask other people the answers to your tests?
[04:05] <r0dzilla> illsci: amd64 iso does both amd and intel 64-bit
[04:05] <illsci> that's weird
[04:05] <macogw> Justi1: in "Device" what's it say?
[04:05] <illsci> it wont boot
[04:05] <illsci> hmm...
[04:05] <Bonhomme> OK, the upgrade documentation doesn't help me as my x has already been sufficiently broken by my attempted upgrade to not run
[04:05] <ReMeMBeR> macogw no but I try many times but never has an answer so ask you
[04:05] <Bonhomme> is there a way out of this?
[04:05] <gbutler288> do webcams work in GAIM?
[04:05] <Justi1> macogw: vesa
[04:05] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: well us telling you won't mean you really know it to pass school, so maybe you ought to figure it out on your own
[04:06] <MrElendig> gbutler288: no
[04:06] <macogw> Justi1: that should work...
[04:06] <MrElendig> gbutler288: btw gaim is dead, long live pidgin
[04:06] <ReMeMBeR> macogw i don't understand sorry
[04:06] <macogw> gbutler288: for webcams, try kopete
[04:06] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: if we tell you the answer, you haven't really learned what you need to learn for school
[04:07] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: you should study harder to pass school so that you are prepared for whatever you do after school
[04:07] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: cheating on exams does not help you learn
[04:07] <fevel> hello
[04:07] <ReMeMBeR> macogw you said true but only give an opinion how can i do?
[04:07] <Pelo> !hi | fevel
[04:07] <ubotu> fevel: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:07] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: *maybe* with gpg
[04:08] <EADG> ReMeMBeR: Have a look here http://rainbowtables.shmoo.com/
[04:08] <goldbond> i am trying to add access for a user to a series of directories. is this correct? chmod -R u=rw- {user} {directory}
[04:08] <fevel> is lightscribe suported in Ubuntu??
[04:08] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: gpg is for encryption
[04:08] <ReMeMBeR> macogw i useful john the ripper but it isn't success.
[04:08] <macogw> fevel: i think so
[04:08] <Pelo> fevel,  not usre , do a search for lightscribe in synaptic
[04:08] <Justi1> macogw: is there any other way to activate fglrx, since I cannot start restricted drivers manager?
[04:08] <macogw> fevel: i havent tried though (dont have one of those drives)
[04:08] <BaD_CrC> wtf do i keep seeing a "Launching HTTP Cache Cleaner" down in my taskbar every once in a while?
[04:09] <Nutubuntu> goldbond,  might be easier in the long run to grant rights to a group and add the user(s) to the group ?
[04:09] <Pelo> Justi1,  the ppl in #beryl might be better equip to ansser you,  in #ubuntu-effects to
[04:09] <macogw> Justi1: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[04:09] <macogw> Justi1: that will install it
[04:09] <macogw> Justi1: then you have to put "fglrx" in the place where it says vesa
[04:10] <imbecile> where do i find clam to run it?
[04:10] <jo3nix> ReMeMBeR, its 128bib MD5 hash... go from there
[04:10] <Justi1> Pelo: I am having trouble starting x window server with my ati mobility radeon
[04:10] <jo3nix> 128bit
[04:10] <Pelo> imbecile,  clamav,  you also want to install clamtk , it's the gui
[04:10] <ReMeMBeR> jo3nix where will i go i don't understand?
[04:10] <darthmarth37> Would it be considered a Bad Idea to use the same /tmp and /var/tmp for more than one distro?
[04:11] <Pelo> !ati | Justi1  try this
[04:11] <ubotu> Justi1  try this: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:11] <macogw> Pelo: it says to use restricted driver manager, and he cant get gui
[04:11] <billy_s> Hallo! Hi I can change screen resolution in Ubuntu? System was installed with CRT and now after upgrade I dont see resolutions high enough. Everything ends at 1024 and 60 Hz!
[04:11] <jo3nix> your obviously on the Internet... use it!  This is just not the place.
[04:11] <Pelo> macogw, like I said earlier , I'm no good with hardware stuff
[04:12] <macogw> Pelo: heh
[04:12] <Nutubuntu> billy_s,  you'll need to (first) back up and (then) edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:12] <fisherhome> someone gave me a handy command to see how much memory is installed in my machine.. anyone know what that is?  i forgot
[04:12] <linuxgx> No Sound in Wolf-ET
[04:12] <macogw> Justi1: sudo apt-get install fglrx-control
[04:12] <darthmarth37> fisherhome: cat /proc/meminfo
[04:12] <billy_s> Nutubuntu: No way for graphical manager to do it?
[04:12] <Pelo> billy_s,   add the extra resolution you need in  xorg.conf         gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:12] <Justi1> Pelo: I am following those steps, but when I have to open restricted drivers manager, but I receive a GTK error
[04:12] <fisherhome> thanks a lot bro!
[04:12] <macogw> Justi1: i'm checking out the directions from edgy since they dont use the restricted driver manager
[04:13] <Pelo> fisherhome, free
[04:13] <macogw> Justi1: the manager is a gui
[04:13] <fisherhome> i'm sorry?
[04:13] <macogw> Justi1: they probably should've made a backend for it, but i guess they consier dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to be that
[04:13] <ormandj> how often are LTS releases released? I don't see the info in the wiki/docs
[04:13] <Pelo> Justi1,  that was the best I can do for you,  try looking up your card model in the forum and ask again here periodicaly
[04:13] <linuxgx> No sound in Wolfenstein ET?
[04:14] <Hitomaro> my computers fans are way too noisy.
[04:14] <ReMeMBeR> jo3nix can you help me?
[04:14] <Nutubuntu> billy_s,  it is straightforward to edit - just keep a backup in case you need it :) You only need to add, at most, a couple of lines, and edit one that is already there.
[04:14] <Justi1> macogw: should i try   sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx    OR     sudo apt-get install fglrx-control
[04:14] <Pelo> fisherhome,  type free in the terminal   the fist number is your total memory
[04:14] <fisherhome> oh thanks!
[04:14] <ormandj> Hitomaro: try .22 kernel, fan control was modified heavily from what i understand
[04:14] <macogw> ormandj: we're all assuming next spring will be the next one since ubuntu was around 2 years before the first LTS and they said some time after this fall
[04:14] <macogw> Justi1: install both of them
[04:14] <Hitomaro> (10:14:20 PM) ormandj: Hitomaro: try .22 kernel, fan control was modified heavily from what i understand
[04:14] <ormandj> macogw: so there's no set LTS release schedule, in other words?
[04:14] <Hitomaro> what?
[04:14] <macogw> ormandj: right
[04:14] <linuxgx> I have no sound in Wolfenstein ET, please help!!!
[04:15] <Justi1> macogw: and i change vesa to fglrx in xorg.conf ?
[04:15] <ormandj> hitomaro: http://lwn.net/Articles/240666/
[04:15] <macogw> ormandj: it's looking to be every 2 years so that there's 1 year of switch-over time, but it's not set in stone that 8.04 will be it
[04:15] <Hitomaro> It was noisy before I installed ubuntu..
[04:15] <macogw> Justi1: yes
[04:15] <ormandj> macogw: ok, thank you!
[04:15] <macogw> Justi1: well not sure if you do it yet
[04:15] <Pelo> linuxgx, do you have any sound ?
[04:15] <macogw> Justi1: lemme check the howto
[04:15] <linuxgx> in genome yes
[04:15] <jnberg> Anyone use a buffalo terastation with ubuntu here?
[04:16] <Pelo> linuxgx, and I assume this version of wolf is a linux one not one you are running on wine ?
[04:16] <linuxgx> yep its the linux port
[04:16] <macogw> Justi1: "sudo nano /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common" and make sure the driver isnt disabled
[04:16] <darthmarth37> What is a good app for video editing?
[04:17] <bruenig> avidemux
[04:17] <Pelo> linuxgx, go to their site see if there is a forum you can searrch for the problem or if they have a support channel,
[04:17] <macogw> Justi1: "sudo depmod -a" to generate a new set of dependencies so that fglrx starts properly (i'm reading straight from the howto for edgy)
[04:17] <osxdude|laptop> I really want QuickTime to work under wine. So far, I just can't get the sound working...
[04:17] <billy_s> Nubuntu: Well I will try but there is really absolutely no graphic way to choose new LCD panel Like Generic LCD Panel 1600x1050??
[04:17] <`Kevin> Is possible for me to install Ubuntu to my hard drive A and use it as my only operating system? I can't figure out how to install it without grub.
[04:17] <macogw> osxdude|laptop: why do you need quicktime? totem plays qt .mov files
[04:17] <Justi1> macogw: i think i read this, but i wasn't sure whether to try it or not, since I have fiesty?
[04:17] <macogw> `Kevin: you need grub
[04:18] <macogw> `Kevin: otherwise, how would it boot?
[04:18] <osxdude|laptop> macogw: I know, but, I just want it :P
[04:18] <`Kevin> macgow: Erm.
[04:18] <Hitomaro> (10:15:16 PM) ormandj: hitomaro: http://lwn.net/Articles/240666/
[04:18] <`Kevin> I dunno. I keep getting errors with GRUB
[04:18] <Pelo> `Kevin,  it needs grub for the other bits,  but you can change the delay so it boot directly to ubuntu with no menu
[04:18] <`Kevin> With my multiboot
[04:18] <osxdude|laptop> I'm gonna get rdy for bed.
[04:18] <Hitomaro> what am I suppose to do with that code?
[04:18] <`Kevin> Ok, thanls.
[04:18] <`Kevin> thanks*
[04:18] <macogw> Justi1: it's probably the same but they just put the gui version because it's easy.  the command line one should be there
[04:18] <maxagaz> refit doesn't boot anymore on my macbook so that I can't run any system, what can I do ?
[04:18] <WaxyFresh> is there a command to apend a portian of text onto a existing file?
[04:19] <macogw> Justi1: well, i mean, it *should* be there but someone decided it'd be scary to have commands be the first thing on the page
[04:19] <mikaragua> hello earthlings!
[04:19] <maxagaz> I tried to reinstall refit, but it didn't change anything
[04:19] <Jordan_U> maxagaz, What happens when you try to boot?
[04:19] <ormandj> Hitomaro: it's a new kernel, which handles fan control differently. in other words, if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't mess with it - just wait for a newer ubuntu release, and it (or something after it) will be included
[04:19] <Nutubuntu> billy_s,  once you have made sure that xorg.conf shows the various resolutions you want to choose from, there's a gui selector in the menus:  System > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[04:19] <mikaragua> how do i disable apache2 to load during boot time?
[04:19] <Pelo> WaxyFresh, man  sed
[04:19] <Hitomaro> hey coz_
[04:19] <macogw> mikaragua: take it out of the init scripts in /etc
[04:20] <billy_s> hmm ok! Will try. Thank you for help!
[04:20] <coz_> Hitomaro, hey guy :)
[04:20] <macogw> mikaragua: i think it's in /etc/init.d/
[04:20] <mikaragua> macogw, so ill remove it at /etc/init.d/apache2
[04:20] <Justi1> macogw: have I done everything necessary, or should i continue in the howto after i enter "sudo depmod -a"
[04:20] <maxagaz> Jordan_U: a grey screen, an apple at the center of the screen, and a small animation showing that it's trying to load something
[04:20] <macogw> mikaragua: if that's where it is, then yes
[04:20] <ahlibyte> can anyone tell me how to make my own Repoitory CD/DVD
[04:20] <Jordan_U> WaxyFresh, You just want to add text to the end?
[04:20] <[Hyarion] > hi, I'm trying to upgrade from Edgy to Fiesty but I'm getting a connection timed out for "..cabspace.com...", what can I replace it with in the sources.list?
[04:20] <macogw> Justi1: continue in the howto
[04:20] <WaxyFresh> Jordan_U:  yea
[04:20] <macogw> [Hyarion] : what repo is that?
[04:20] <Hitomaro> coz_: couldn't get the 7600gs today.. I'll have it by tomorrow morning.
[04:20] <Jordan_U> WaxyFresh, echo " Enter text here " >> file
[04:20] <Pelo> ahlibyte, I belive there are howtos on this in the site in the wiki section
[04:21] <macogw> ahlibyte: aptoncd will let you do it
[04:21] <acidx> mikaragua, update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
[04:21] <[Hyarion] > macogw, dunno, it says "edgy main-all" next to it, this error happens when I try to upgrade from the Ubuntu interface
[04:21] <Jordan_U> maxagaz, Ahh, then it is trying to boot OSx and is failing
[04:21] <ahlibyte> ubuntu.com?
[04:21] <coz_> guys I have a situation I cannot seem to fix   tried installing redhat cluster applicationto no avial and removed it however now I am getting this dpkg error     ""error pricessing clvm ( --configure): subprocess post-instalation script returned error exit status3
[04:21] <macogw> ahlibyte: then to mount it as a repo "sudo apt-cdrom add"
[04:21] <Pelo> [Hyarion] ,  downlad the alternate install cd and upgrade from there
[04:21] <macogw> [Hyarion] : i dont know what that is
[04:21] <coz_> i would like to get rid of this  any clues
[04:21] <SunmanXII> hi - this is a weird question. i bought a new monitor and i tried to plug it in and use it... after i rebooted a few times it finaly started working. however, when i play any movies/video files (in any player) the colors get fucked up. like inverted.
[04:21] <ormandj> [Hyarion] : it sounds like you edited your sources.list file
[04:21] <WaxyFresh> Jordan_U:  echo "XXXXX" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf? is that right?
[04:21] <Pelo> !upgrade | [Hyarion]
[04:21] <ubotu> [Hyarion] : For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:21] <[Hyarion] > thanks.
[04:21] <mikaragua> update-rc.d -f apache2 remove  <--is this a one-liner command?
[04:21] <macogw> [Hyarion] : you should just have the regular ubuntu repos
[04:21] <Nutubuntu> !ohmy > SunmanXII
[04:21] <maxagaz> Jordan_U: what should I do ?
[04:22] <macogw> mikaragua: looks like it
[04:22] <Justi1> macogw: when I enter "sudo aticonfig --initial", it says "found fglrx primary device selection Nothing to do, terminating." is this normal?
[04:22] <fotoflo> anyone use scim/skim ? im having problems getting it to work in kubuntu
[04:22] <SunmanXII> my bad.
[04:22] <mikaragua> thanks
[04:22] <macogw> Justi1: idk i dont have a new ati card
[04:22] <Jordan_U> maxagaz, Did OSx shutdown incorrectly ( if it did then by default it will bypass refit and boot OSx, you can configure refit to boot even after OSx is shut down incorrectly though )
[04:22] <Pelo> SunmanXII,  which player ?
[04:23] <ian_wax> Anything better than NetworkManager Applet 0.6.4?? Mine is freezing up
[04:23] <macogw> fotoflo: go to http://del.icio.us/macoafi and i have a link in there to a really good scim howto
[04:23] <Jordan_U> maxagaz, And how did you re-install refit if the system won't boot?
[04:23] <SunmanXII> both
[04:23] <SunmanXII> mplayer, realplayer, vlc
[04:23] <SunmanXII> anything
[04:23] <SunmanXII> but on the desktop colors are fine
[04:23] <fotoflo> macogw: thanks
[04:23] <Pelo> SunmanXII, considering there are about 20  both is not a real answer
[04:23] <maxagaz> Jordan_U: I don't know, it's not my computer actually, I don't know what happend
[04:23] <macogw> fotoflo: i cant paste the direct url in here because i'm using irssi in a virtual terminal, but i know it's in my del.icio.us links
[04:23] <goldbond> well i chmodded a directory to 764 and now cannot ls from my user or with sudo
[04:23] <goldbond> why is this?
[04:23] <SunmanXII> Pelo: the above three are the ones i tried
[04:23] <Nutubuntu> SunmanXII,  this is just a guess, but I'd be looking at codecs - esp if all the players you've tried have the same issue
[04:23] <maxagaz> Jordan_U: I reinstalled it using the LiveCD
[04:23] <Pelo> SunmanXII, in mplayer there is a section for video output  try a few of the xhoices
[04:24] <Pelo> SunmanXII,  and hyou can also try asking in #mplayer #vlc etc
[04:24] <macogw> fotoflo: its under the SCIM tag
[04:24] <Jordan_U> maxagaz, rEFIt or Ubuntu?
[04:24] <maxagaz> Jordan_U: refit
[04:24] <Justi1> macogw: for "sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv" it says "Warning: Option VideoOverlay doesn't affect running session."?
[04:24] <macogw> Justi1: there isnt a running session anyway
[04:24] <Nutubuntu> SunmanXII,  what Pelo said ... the #mplayer folks have been helpful, in my experience
[04:24] <illsci> hey do you know of a ubuntu iso that supports the nvidia 8800 gtx out of the box
[04:24] <SunmanXII> Pelo: I also ran the system update before this - could this be an issue
[04:24] <ian_wax> running networkmanager applet is rather slow
[04:25] <illsci> everytime i go to boot it loads the kernel and then it goes blank... all black
[04:25] <Pelo> SunmanXII, you can also try  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , might detect your new monitor
[04:25] <ian_wax> is there anything i can do to change this?
[04:25] <macogw> Justi1: i think that's to warn you that if you try to enable it while you're already in X, it wont work til next time X starts
[04:25] <ian_wax> it freezes up when i change settings
[04:25] <Jordan_U> illsci, Have you tried the alternate install CD?
[04:25] <macogw> illsci: there isnt one
[04:25] <Pelo> !enter | ian_wax
[04:25] <ubotu> ian_wax: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:25] <fotoflo> macogw, ok thanks
[04:25] <macogw> illsci: that needs a binary driver which ubuntu does not ship
[04:25] <ziggy> anyone know anything about wow and ubuntu?
[04:25] <goldbond> well it looks like i broke /var/www/
[04:26] <goldbond> how can i chmod it back so i can read and ls it with sudo?
[04:26] <illsci> macogw: i was asking in here because maybe someone created one
[04:26] <Pelo> ziggy,  we know about wow, but we've never heard of th other thing
[04:26] <macogw> illsci: only open source drivers are shipped. the driver should be available with the restricted driver manager though (it's a gui, don't worry) to get 3D acceleration for beryl
[04:26] <macogw> illsci: oh...maybe mint...maybe
[04:26] <illsci> mint?
[04:26] <ziggy> Pelo: What do you mean?
[04:26] <Darter> I'd like to know the best set of codecs to d/l for simple playing of MP3's, mpg and wmv files...I'm using 6.06
[04:26] <Pelo> goldbond,  sudo chmod 755 /path
[04:26] <Jordan_U> macogw, Actually... There are binary drivers on the LiveCD
[04:26] <Pelo> ziggy,  I was being humorous
[04:27] <illsci> as soon as this boots and it loads the kernel it goes all black... and it sucks because I only have usb keyboard so I cant do a text based install
[04:27] <macogw> illsci: Linux Mint is based on ubuntu and has all the codecs and other junk in it
[04:27] <macogw> Jordan_U: but they dont get installed
[04:27] <ziggy> Pelo: ohh ok
[04:27] <Justi1> macogw: Okay. Now when I enter "gksudogedit/etc/X11/xorg.conf" it doesn't open anything, and says "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display"
[04:27] <macogw> Jordan_U: they're only there on live, then they go away once it's installed and you hvave to install them
[04:27] <macogw> Justi1: use nano instead of gedit
[04:27] <goldbond> Pelo: i still get ls: .: Permission denied
[04:27] <macogw> Justi1: gedit is a gui text editor
[04:27] <Pelo> ziggy,  google for wow ubuntu you'll get a lot of hits,  one of them is bound to be a howto
[04:27] <fotoflo> macogw, I have a broken copy on my system now
[04:28] <Pelo> goldbond, no / at the end
[04:28] <Justi1> macogw: I receive the same error
[04:28] <macogw> fotoflo: sudo apt-get remove --purge $packages
[04:28] <macogw> fotoflo: --purge deletes their config too
[04:28] <macogw> Justi1: with nano?
[04:28] <chealdo> hi every how can i clean my system from invalid entries am using feisty
[04:28] <goldbond> Pelo: still, i get the same error
[04:28] <macogw> Justi1: nano is command line based
[04:28] <macogw> chealdo: invalid entries?
[04:28] <Justi1> macogw: should i put gksudo or just sudo
[04:28] <thepumpkin_w> what is the default svn repository path?
[04:28] <macogw> Justi1: just sudo
[04:29] <Pelo> goldbond, I'm out of ideas,  man chmod see if you can figure it out
[04:29] <fotoflo> macogw: cool
[04:29] <macogw> Justi1: gksudo is the gui sudo that pops up and asks for your password like in OSX or Vista
[04:29] <mikaragua> should i load acpi daemon even if this is a desktop and not a laptop?
[04:29] <Olgem> How come this isn't a valid command, both the image and the dir exist. "sudo mount -o loop iso9660 AOK.img /dev/vimage0
[04:29] <macogw> Justi1: please note that linux had it before either of them!

[04:30] <ubotu> itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee
[04:30] <macogw> fotoflo: so..? the beginning of the howto goes for both
[04:30] <chealdo> macogw, i mean i have downloaded too many evaluation softwares today and actually been saved in my system like the tar.bz
[04:30] <fotoflo> macogw, so i should install skim, not scim, right?
[04:30] <macogw> fotoflo: at the end it tells you what to add separate for kde apps
[04:30] <chealdo> say leftovers
[04:30] <macogw> fotoflo: or just start reading ahead and see if i remember the page correctly
[04:30] <`eric-> hmm, if i have a brand new ipod, can amarok format it and everything?
[04:30] <[g2] > On a Feisty alternate install for a Intel Santa Rosa laptop (Acer) I've got an X problem "Screen(s) found: but none have a useable configuration" :(
[04:30] <Pelo> `eric-,  you need to mount your ipod ?  try gtkpod, banshee or amarok
[04:30] <fotoflo> what is anthy? and uim?
[04:30] <macogw> chealdo: "sudo apt-get autoclean" clears the excess debs
[04:30] <macogw> fotoflo: anthy is japanese input
[04:30] <macogw> fotoflo: uim is unified input something
[04:31] <`eric-> Pelo: it's just brand new, so i'm not sure how it works.. how do i set the volume label, etc...?
[04:31] <fotoflo> so i dont want japanese or korean
[04:31] <illsci> ill give the alternate cd a shot
[04:31] <Justi1> macogw: ok I am able to edit the file now, and I am suppsosed to add "  Section "Extensions"         Option      "Composite" "disable" EndSection  " to the end of the file. Does spacing of the words matter, and if so, should I use tab?
[04:31] <macogw> fotoflo: anthy is the japanese input where you spell it like konnichi ha. genki desu ka? and it turns it into the proper letters
[04:31] <griberal> Can anyone tell me what the major differences are between CentOS and Ubuntu Server Edition, other than one being based on Redhat and using yum for package management and the other being Debian based and using apt for package management?
[04:31] <chealdo> ya i did previously i uninstalled the clamav but still i see the icon in application-system tools
[04:31] <macogw> Justi1: spacing shouldnt matter
[04:31] <fotoflo> macogw: oh. ok.  i dont use japanese though...
[04:31] <Pelo> `eric-, I'm not all that familiar with ipods but I guess you can probably use gparted to format it  ,
[04:31] <macogw> chealdo: did you add the icon yourself?
[04:31] <macogw> fotoflo: then leave it off
[04:32] <macogw> fotoflo: that howto installs *all* the asian language stuff
[04:32] <macogw> fotoflo: i just set mine to hide chinese and korean since i only need japanese
[04:32] <instabin> i just installed compiz .5 and i do not have window boarders
[04:32] <macogw> instabin: do you mean compiz-fusion?
[04:32] <chealdo> macogw, no i installed it from automatix and removed it through automatix
[04:32] <fotoflo> macogw: you can hide after installation?
[04:32] <instabin> macogw: yes
[04:32] <RoC_MasterMind> griberal, the difference in package management makes a lot of difference.  We here obviously prefer Debian-style package management.
[04:32] <macogw> instabin: this is a #ubuntu-effects question anyway
[04:33] <xTaJMoX> instabin: do the windows wobble?
[04:33] <macogw> fotoflo: yeah just uncheck whatever you dont want to show
[04:33] <macogw> !automatix | chealdo
[04:33] <instabin> xTaJMox: I dont know i cant move them
[04:33] <ubotu> chealdo: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:33] <RoC_MasterMind> centos might be GUI too griberal .
[04:33] <peacho> Hi there. I have a few questions about Firefox in Ubuntu 6.10.
[04:33] <xTaJMoX> instabin - then you probably dont have your video driver card installed correctly or your card doesn't support composite
[04:33] <instabin> xTaJMox: yes they wobble i just alt + left clicked it
[04:33] <macogw> instabin: alt + click to move windows
[04:34] <RoC_MasterMind> !ask | peacho
[04:34] <ubotu> peacho: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:34] <xTaJMoX> instabin ok then it is probably your window manager problem.   try changing theme or re-loading your window manager
[04:34] <macogw> instabin: compiz-fusion isnt quite supported yet i dont think....compiz and beryl are the ones in the repos
[04:34] <peacho> So I've been told. lol.
[04:34] <macogw> instabin: #ubuntu-effects handles the desktop effects though
[04:34] <Robert__> Hello all
[04:34] <instabin> macogw: i have berly it works
[04:34] <peacho> Is there any way to access the Options box in Firefox?
[04:34] <peacho> Or get Updates?
[04:34] <RoC_MasterMind> Edit/Preferences peacho
[04:34] <macogw> instabin: beryl is supported. compiz-fusion isn't supported until gutsy
[04:34] <chealdo> so how will i clean my system...will i reinstall feisty?
[04:34] <macogw> peacho: firefox updates come through the repos automatically
[04:35] <peacho> Ohh
[04:35] <Frogzoo> peacho: options: edit -> preferences
[04:35] <Justi1> macogw: I entered startx // to restart X, but I get the error messages: "(EE) Problem parsing the config file", "(EE) Error parsing the config file", and "Fatal server error: no screens found"
[04:35] <peacho> Never would have thought to look there.
[04:35] <ReMeMBeR> macogw don't write remember mirc is crazy:p
[04:35] <Nutubuntu> peacho,  do you mean set preferences? if so edit > preferences
[04:35] <peacho> Thanks
[04:35] <RoC_MasterMind> peacho, Firefox's Update functionality has been disabled by Ubuntu, because updates for Firefox on Ubuntu already come through Ubuntu's respository channels
[04:35] <macogw> peacho: firefox on ubuntu is slightly modified so the "check for updates" is disabled
[04:35] <macogw> ReMeMBeR: what?
[04:35] <ReMeMBeR> $me :)
[04:35] <peacho> That's kinda what I figured.
[04:35] <instabin> macogw: what does this mean? /usr/bin/compiz.real: decoration: property ignored because version is 20061011 and decoration plugin version is 20070319
[04:35] <griberal> It sounds like the only significant difference between CentOS and Ubuntu Server Edition may be package management.  Thanks for your help.
[04:35] <ReMeMBeR> macogw i said eye light ($me) in mirc:)
[04:36] <RoC_MasterMind> peacho, it's mainly for Windows users and Mac peoples.
[04:36] <macogw> instabin: no idea
[04:36] <macogw> instabin: if you didnt get rid of old compiz stuff that came with ubuntu, it could be confused
[04:36] <Robert__> Can Someone help me. I need to install ubuntu on my pc as a dual boot system but the auto partion doesn't work and i have to do it by hand. Can someone run me through it?
[04:37] <instabin> Well i did what the instructinos said
[04:37] <macogw> Robert__: sure
[04:37] <RoC_MasterMind> !mp3 > Darter
[04:37] <Robert__> so how do we start
[04:37] <macogw> Robert__: do you want to be able to access all your files from both systems or is rebooting to get to some ok (for instance if windows is just for games)?
[04:37] <mikaragua> how do i disable acpi daemon to load from boot time?
[04:38] <macogw> Robert__: and did you defrag your windows at least once?
[04:38] <Justi1> macogw: I entered startx // to restart X, but I get the error messages: "(EE) Problem parsing the config file", "(EE) Error parsing the config file", and "Fatal server error: no screens found"
[04:38] <macogw> Robert__: you should defrag it if you didnt
[04:38] <Robert__> well all my important stuff is on a seporate hdd
[04:38] <macogw> Justi1: O_o ummm
[04:38] <griberal> Speaking of package management, does apt automatically handle dependencies like yum?
[04:38] <macogw> Justi1: seen that recently....
[04:38] <macogw> griberal: yes
[04:38] <Nutubuntu> griberal,  yes it does
[04:38] <RoC_MasterMind> griberal, yes.
[04:38] <macogw> griberal: probably better
[04:39] <Nutubuntu> well - guess we've got *that* covered :)
[04:39] <Robert__> macogw: windows has been defraged.
[04:39] <gsevil> Is build-essential enough to compile a source
[04:39] <griberal> LOL.  Yeah.
[04:39] <macogw> Robert__: the easiest way, IMO to dual boot is to partition first then install windows on one of the partitions, but most people don't like that idea since they dont keep backups
[04:39] <goldbond> does anyone know why i am having a hard time doing *anything* with the /var/www directory with the following permissions?
[04:39] <macogw> Robert__: if you're all defrag'd though, we should be ok on resizing the partition
[04:39] <goldbond> drwxrw-r--  8 root dev   4096 2007-06-25 21:50 www
[04:40] <goldbond> i cannot even change the group back to root
[04:40] <Robert__> sweet are you going to be here. I need to boot to the live cd first
[04:40] <macogw> Robert__: i suggest using GParted (system > admin > Gnome Partitioner)
[04:40] <Robert__> i'll brb
[04:40] <macogw> Robert__: it has a much better gui than the installer and i dont know why they made it stop being the default
[04:40] <Robert__> need to boot to the live cd
[04:41] <Justi1> is there a command to restart the computer?
[04:41] <macogw> Justi1: sudo reboot
[04:41] <Anolis> sudo shutdown -r -t NOW
[04:41] <Anolis> it hink
[04:41] <macogw> Anolis: reboot is shorter to type
[04:41] <Anolis> lol i know
[04:41] <macogw> Anolis: and easier to remember
[04:42] <Jordan_U> Anolis, The -t is not needed
[04:42] <macogw> Anolis: no "i think" involved :p
[04:42] <powergoal> I want to install a more recent version of ndiswrapper than is available in the kubuntu default repositories, how would I do that?
[04:42] <macogw> powergoal: compile it
[04:42] <tinin> Hi, does someone help me to complie a kernel?
[04:42] <macogw> powergoal: first, "sudo apt-get install build-essential" <-- tinin too
[04:42] <tinin> macogw> thanx
[04:42] <Anolis> is there anyway to display messages on a client
[04:42] <Anolis> similar to messenger service on windows
[04:43] <powergoal> macogw: what is the build-essential?
[04:43] <Justi1> oh damn. I spelled extensions "extentions"
[04:43] <macogw> powergoal: compilers, autotools, make...buncha stuff to let you compile
[04:43] <powergoal> macogw: ok
[04:43] <macogw> powergoal: it's just a meta-package that gets all that stuff
[04:43] <macogw> tinin: why do you need to recompile?
[04:44] <tinin> a quick link to a kernel 2.6.22?
[04:44] <macogw> tinin: ah ok
 to get alsa working
[04:44] <powergoal> is there a way to compile it as a package so that its easily removable later, should I desire to do so.  also, is it necessary to remove all current versions of the program through adept, prior to installation?
[04:44] <ReMeMBeR> :/
[04:44] <mikaragua> does apmd have any use for a desktop server? or should i disable this on boot?
[04:44] <tinin>  <macogw>  Is the last thing I try
[04:44] <Jordan_U> !kernel | tinin
[04:44] <ubotu> tinin: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[04:44] <macogw> tinin: um well...its been nearly a year since i compiled a kernel, so i dont know what you do once you get the source
[04:44] <macogw> powergoal: sudo apt-get install checkinstall
[04:45] <tinin> yeah
[04:45] <powergoal> macogw: ok.
[04:45] <bruenig> powergoal, debs are pretty easy format if you take out all the incessant rules, just install it into an empty directory, add a debian directory, put a control file in the debian directory and build it with dpkg
[04:45] <macogw> powergoal: if you use checkinstall wherever directions tell you "make install" it'll create a deb that you can "sudo apt-get remove" later
[04:45] <powergoal> macogw: cool
[04:45] <Hil^Billy> Hi.  I am trying to compile seamonkey under ubuntu.  I get an error that it cannot find gtk+-2.0 in pkgconfig.  I know that ubuntu has gtk+-2.0 installed, but why is there no .pc file for it?
[04:45] <tinin> it creates a deb package esay to use with adept or synaptic
[04:46] <macogw> bruenig: dude, i've been using this for a year, compiled a bunch before, read a few howtos on rolling debs, and i did not understand what you just said
[04:46] <Jordan_U> bruenig, But without those rules it's also a lot like RPM ;)
[04:46] <macogw> s/a year/almost a year
[04:46] <tinin> macogw> but is it complicated to compile the kernel?
[04:46] <bruenig> Jordan_U, it isn't so much the rules that bothered me, it is the insistence that you use their little special scripts
[04:46] <bruenig> debhelper and whatnot
[04:46] <Justi1> macogw: I LOVE YOU
[04:47] <Nutubuntu> awwww : )
[04:47] <macogw> tinin: i followed a howto before and did it within like 2 weeks of starting on ubuntu so i'm gonna go with no
[04:47] <Justi1> THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
[04:47] <bruenig> macogw, you know how to build a deb?
[04:47] <macogw> Justi1: haha no problem
[04:47] <tinin> ok
[04:47] <macogw> bruenig: nope! those howtos were wayyyy confusing :p
[04:47] <bruenig> macogw, do you know how to build any other package formats?
[04:47] <dan00b> could someone tell me how to know which kernel i have_
[04:47] <dan00b> ?
[04:47] <macogw> tinin: but id say find a howto like i did
[04:47] <Kr00lplatinum> Looking for macogw
[04:47] <macogw> dan00b:  uname -a
[04:48] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: ?
[04:48] <Jordan_U> dan00b, uname -r
[04:48] <macogw> bruenig: nope
[04:48] <munashii> hey, anyone know how to fix the No composite extension error with beryl? i'm using fglrx drivers, direct rendering is on..
[04:48] <dan00b> thanks gonna try that
[04:48] <macogw> bruenig: closest i get is checkinstall
[04:48] <goldbond> hello. i was trying to add permissions to /var/www for a user and it looks like i broke something because i cannot ls or cd into it. here is the situation: http://dpaste.com/14008/
[04:48] <Kr00lplatinum> hey you were helping me out with my ubuntu manual install
[04:48] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: you're robert?
[04:48] <Kr00lplatinum> yes
[04:48] <Jordan_U> munashii, Don't use fglrx or install XGL
[04:48] <bruenig> macogw, oh, well basically you take an empty directory, you put all the files in the empty directory as if the empty directory is root, so if you have a file that you want installed to /usr/bin/foo, you put it in emptydirectory/usr/bin/foo
[04:48] <tinin> macogw, I'll try to find an actual one
[04:49] <dan00b> thanks macogw and everybody
[04:49] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: ok go system > admin > gnome partitioner
[04:49] <munashii> i tried changing xorg.conf to using radeon drivers but that didn't work
[04:49] <macogw> Jordan_U: why do you say that?
[04:49] <powergoal> check install hits an error of permission denied, even when run as root.  and it ultimately causes the compilation to fail.
[04:49] <gangrene> Is there a way to install firefox extensions as non-root user?
[04:49] <powergoal> any idea what I can do to get around it?
[04:49] <macogw> Jordan_U: ohh nevermind i got it
[04:49] <macogw> Jordan_U: i read it as don't do either of those rather than one or the other
[04:49] <macogw> munashii: radeon is only for old cards
[04:49] <Jordan_U> gangrene, Yes, the normal way :)
[04:49] <mhz`> hmm
[04:49] <macogw> munashii: if it's new and fglrx works stick with that
[04:49] <Kr00lplatinum> macogw: Ohhhh ahhhh... looks great. Now would should i do
[04:49] <Jordan_U> gangrene, How are you installing them?
[04:49] <RoC_MasterMind> goldbond, in order to enter a directory...you need eXecute permissions..not just read.
[04:49] <munashii> ok
[04:50] <RoC_MasterMind> goldbond, chmod o+x www
[04:50] <gangrene> Jordan_U: using the xpi
[04:50] <munashii> so what could i do to fix this then?
[04:50] <amicrawler> hey guys i did not set my home page  but this dam site keeps comping up
[04:50] <macogw> munashii: as of last check, ubuntu's beryl didn't work with XGL (which is what fglrx needs for beryl) so you need to use the official beryl repos (follow the howto on their wiki) and get rid of ubuntu's universe repos
[04:50] <gangrene> Jordan_U: I can't remember how I did it now.. was a while ago
[04:50] <amicrawler> no matter what i do  even if i set a page still comes up
[04:50] <amicrawler> can any body help
[04:50] <Frogzoo> how to get nohup to NOT create a nohup.out ?
[04:50] <Jordan_U> gangrene, What extension are you trying to install?
[04:50] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: do you want to have a big fat32 partition so that ubuntu and xp can share files so you can open files with whichever you happen to be using?
[04:51] <munashii> alright, i'll check that out, thanks!
[04:51] <RoC_MasterMind> Frogzoo, nohup ./progrsm > /dev/null &
[04:51] <Frogzoo> RoC_MasterMind: thankyou
[04:51] <Kr00lplatinum> That would be great
[04:51] <Kr00lplatinum> macogw: sorry, that would be great
[04:51] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: ok first off resize your windows partition
[04:51] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: up to you how small
[04:51] <gangrene> Jordan_U: none at the moment, I'm just asking. I installed one as root a while back because that was the only way I could figure out to do it, however it caused problems later
[04:51] <slavik> ok, enemy territory is driving me crazy, how can I configure dmix properly? aplay -l lists the card I want to use as "card 2" (usb audio)
[04:52] <amicrawler> is there such as browser hi jacking  in linux
[04:52] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: if you just want to throw everything that's not already there into the big fat32 shared part, take it down to not-much-larger-than-currently-filled
[04:52] <Kr00lplatinum> macogw: How large would you suggest i make the new partition
[04:52] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: the filled amount being the yellowy part
[04:52] <Jordan_U> slavik, and have you set that as the default card?
[04:52] <goldbond> Roc_MasterMind: ubuntu is not accepting my changes even with sudo. an error is not returned, but no change is made
[04:52] <CineScope> slavik, no sound?
[04:52] <slavik> Jordan_U: where? (it is in "Sound" and in multimedia selector
[04:52] <slavik> CineScope: yes
[04:52] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: thats up to you.  you'll want 5-10gb (10gb if you can spare it so there's more room to install stuff) for ubuntu's system files
[04:52] <slavik> I can do aoss ./et but the sound is really choppy and crappy
[04:53] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: how much ram do you have?
[04:53] <Kr00lplatinum> 2gb
[04:53] <CineScope> i had to add following to my /etc/rc.local to get sound to work
[04:53] <CineScope> echo 'et.x86 0 0 direct' > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
[04:53] <Frogzoo> goldbond: ls -ld /var/www/
[04:53] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: ok i highly doubt you'll be swapping and if you are it wont be 4gb worth
[04:53] <Jordan_U> slavik, I don't game, is enemy territory a native game or are you using wine?
[04:53] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: you can make swap just be like 256mb
[04:53] <CineScope> you could try that and point it at your card
[04:54] <slavik> Jordan_U: native
[04:54] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: put swap near the front as it's faster to read/write to
[04:54] <Jordan_U> slavik, And it only does OSS?
[04:54] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: just behind windows though so you dont need to find a way to move windows
[04:54] <Kr00lplatinum> macogw: sorry i just resized the new partition
[04:54] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: yeah i'm just rambling :p
[04:54] <gangrene> Jordan_U: What would you say is the 'easy way' of installing firefox extensions?
[04:54] <RoC_MasterMind> goldbond, that doesn't sound possible..
[04:54] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: the 5-10gb for system files should be ext3 and mounted as /
[04:54] <tama00> i need help - i have just copied over my installation of ubuntu onto my software raid and i wanna set it up so grub will boot off the software raid
[04:54] <Frogzoo> Kr00lplatinum: you can use ramdisk as swap if you have lots of memory
[04:55] <r0dzilla> grrr, I've tried all kinds of things but I can't get X running on nvidia-glx driver, only nv driver.  the nvidia driver complains about not being able to open /dev/nvidia0 (Input/Output Error) and quits
[04:55] <tama00> how can i do this?
[04:55] <jaypro> the set up i have here goes from internet > modem > wireless router > "pc 1".  i have another pc, "pc 2", that i want set up so that it can connect to the net through "pc 1", hardwired.  what do i need to do to "pc 1" in order for that to work?
[04:55] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: Frogzoo meaning dont bother with swap at all?
[04:55] <goldbond> Roc_MasterMind: chmod -R g+x www
[04:55] <goldbond> has no effect
[04:55] <macogw> ah lovely i typed both your names
[04:55] <Jordan_U> gangrene, Going to the extentions page and clicking install :)
[04:55] <macogw> whoops
[04:55] <Frogzoo> macogw: meaning use a swap, but it's on ramdisk, so it's v fast
[04:55] <slavik> CineScope: nope, no sound ... not for card0 not for card2
[04:55] <fungos> what is that tool to see X keycodes?
[04:55] <macogw> Frogzoo: isnt ramdisk just...ram?
[04:55] <Kr00lplatinum> macogw: I created a new 40gb partition, now what should i do?
[04:55] <Frogzoo> macogw: it is indeed
[04:55] <slavik> macogw: yes it is
[04:55] <macogw> Frogzoo: how is it currently set up?
[04:56] <Jordan_U> jaypro, Set up internet sharing, it's easy with firestarter
[04:56] <Frogzoo> macogw: swap is usually to a swap partition
[04:56] <macogw> Frogzoo: but if your ram is all in use (2gb...thatll be a while) how can you use swap from it?
[04:56] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: how is it currently set up?
[04:56] <macogw> sorry i sent that message the wrong way
[04:56] <RoC_MasterMind> goldbond, your command is wrong..that adds group permissions.  sudo chmod -R o+rx www
[04:56] <Jordan_U> jaypro, To make things easier install a dhcp server also
[04:56] <Jerome_> anyone know of a .deb package for Pidgin?
[04:57] <macogw> Jerome_: yes!
[04:57] <macogw> Jerome_: i dont know the link
[04:57] <Jordan_U> Jerome_, getdeb.org has one
[04:57] <CineScope> slavik: you'll have to restart for the rc.local to take
[04:57] <macogw> Jerome_: it's linked to on my blog...
[04:57] <macogw> Jerome_: or do what he said
[04:57] <Jerome_> Thanks Joran and macogw
[04:57] <CineScope> slavik: for testing use this -> sudo sh -c 'echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss'
[04:57] <Jerome_> Jordan*
[04:57] <Jordan_U> Jerome_, np
[04:57] <jaypro> Jordan_U> hrmm...  okay...ill try it out
[04:57] <CineScope> it has to be run as root
[04:57] <Kr00lplatinum> macogw: i have a /dev/sda1 w/99gb, and a new unallocated 40gb
[04:57] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: ok so 60gb is windows right?
[04:58] <CineScope> and then put it in rc.local if you find one that works
[04:58] <Kr00lplatinum> macogw: correct
[04:58] <goldbond> Roc_MasterMind: ls -ld = drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2006-12-24 00:00
[04:58] <Kavon89> How do I uncompress my 5 gig .rar which is split into 3 parts, totaling 1.5Gb compressed?

[04:58] <jaypro> Jordan_U> dhcp-relay is the name of the package?
[04:58] <linuxgx> getting rid of default keyring password when using wifi?
[04:58] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: i have to warn you, you may get an error during the actual partitioning about the file system on your ntfs drive. it'll tell you to boot windows and run "chkdsk /f" and reboot twice, do what it says if it tells you that. resizing ntfs is tricky
[04:58] <goldbond> Roc_MasterMind: ls -l = drwxrw-r--  8 root dev   4096 2007-06-25 21:50 www
[04:58] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: if you do what it says it'll be fine
[04:59] <Jordan_U> CineScope, look into tee, it makes using sudo with redirecting output easier
[04:59] <macogw> Kr00lplatinum: ok so next you likely dont need swap as...you have a craploaf of ram
[04:59] <macogw> *crapload
