[06:25] <eoemr> well... thanks... lated
[06:25] <z0rz> And your using the same exact network card and cable to your modem (or did you switch computers)?
[06:25] <axisys> my laptop is dim when running on battery.. how do make it normal?
[06:25] <decaffeinated> I'd really like to get Ubuntu working properly on here again... I used to use it a lot when I had my 7900.
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> aleka you sure this is a good hard drive?
[06:25] <z0rz> you're*
[06:25] <myk_> there is no way to do and not lose the data then...that is the short answer to my question, I was hoping to take an easier way out, I dont have much time to spend and can't figure out how to give myself permission to write/delete on my ntfs partitioins
[06:25] <Xman2> z0rz: i was given a static ip address which i have to enter every time when i log on to my PC
[06:26] <z0rz> Xman2: You're cable provider gabe you a static ip?
[06:26] <z0rz> cable*
[06:26] <z0rz> err.. gave*
[06:26] <ice109> how do i point this ftp server vsftpd to a mounted drive?
[06:26] <aleka> Dr_Willis: it was working fine under my friends laptop until her motherboard died for no reason....tried copying files in her vista but the UAC wouldn't let me and I don't know much about vista
[06:26] <Xman2> z0rz: in the web browser and then a web page comes then i enter my uid & passwd
[06:26] <ubuntuuser1> can I run partition magic under wine?
[06:26] <Xman2> and my connection starts
[06:26] <ice109> for the anon user
[06:26] <Xman2> then
[06:27] <Xman2> .
[06:27] <Bonkers-> how do I update /etc/fonts/fonts.conf? I updated the symlinks in conf.d, but now I need to generate the file, right? I'm trying to enable bitmap fonts
[06:27] <acecase> aleka, you can disable UAC :)
[06:27] <z0rz> Xman2: So you tried entering this number they gave you into Firefox and nothing came up? Just "Page could not be displayed"
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> aleka hmm..  a power surge could of killed the mb and the hd.. Ive had bad hds show up , but then not have any actual partitions on them. :(   You got this in a USB external drive bay thing?
[06:28] <default> what is the difference between pin and bluepin?
[06:28] <lazaruslupine> ubuntuuser1, I wouldn't trust something that sensitive to run well in wine
[06:28] <kkerwin> ubuntuuser1: I don't know for certain, but something like that, I doubt VERY much. Partition Magic is going to have a lot of things on it that are pretty windows and harddrive specific.
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuuser1 why would you want to.. 'gparted' and  its  brothers can do the same job.
[06:28] <Xman2> z0rz: no i mean i have to enter it every time i log on to comp
[06:28] <ice109> anyone anyone how do i point this vsftpd to a mounted drive?
[06:28] <z0rz> All: Does /etc/init.d/networking restart restart the DHCP Client also?
[06:28] <cjracker> z0rz, yes
[06:28] <z0rz> Xman2: You enter the ip into your browser everythime?
[06:28] <cjracker> most of the time, unless youve changed things
[06:28] <z0rz> cjracker: Thanks
[06:28] <xshad> hi guys, I've installed ubuntu for the first time. How do I change the default player? Is there any var?
[06:28] <Xman2> z0rz: yeah exatly
[06:28] <ubuntuuser1> PartitionMagic can recover lost data, I know there was a button to do that, I am having difficulty getting testdisk to do this for me, and I am starting to doubt the existence of my data on the drive now
[06:28] <z0rz> Xman2: And that's on Windows? or on Ubuntu?
[06:29] <Xman2> z0rz: and then uid & passwd
[06:29] <aleka> Dr_Willis:  Yeah.. I got it on a USB caddy/// Vista was able to show the files and folders until it got to the last folder structure [like My Pictures]  then started complaining about permissions...If it was a bad hd.. it should have been able to read it at all , I assume
[06:29] <Xman2> z0rz: windows
[06:29] <z0rz> Xman2: So your problem is that you can't access that page on Ubuntu?
[06:29] <Alija_> Is anyone having problems to get&install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuuser1 last i messed with partitionmagic - it came with a bootable live cd i thought.
[06:29] <ice109> anyone anyone?
[06:29] <Xman2> z0rz: yes exactly
[06:29] <xshad> default music player is rhythmbox, I would like to change it :(
[06:29] <ice109> how do i point vsftpd to a mounted drive
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> ice109 i think it may be time to track down the docs for your ftp server.    a good read of its config files is in order also.
[06:29] <acecase> aleka, did your friend have encryption enabled?
[06:30] <z0rz> Xman2: Ok try: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:30] <Xman2> z0rz: i tried that
[06:30] <aleka> acecase:  Nope...:)
[06:30] <z0rz> Xman2: Oh wait.. that probably won't work ..since you don't have an IP
[06:30] <z0rz> Xman2: Ok.. try dhclient3 eth0
[06:30] <Xman2> z0rz: it did not worked
[06:30] <z0rz> err. sudo that
[06:30] <tarelerulz> xshad , if you like me and have most you media in mp3 and avi files I would try playing one of those and when totem ask do you want to download the stuff to play that you say yes and check every package
[06:30] <z0rz> Xman2: sudo dhclient3 eth
[06:30] <z0rz> Xman2: sudo dhclient3 eth0
[06:31] <Xman2> z0rz: i can only ping my gateway in windows nothing else
[06:31] <acecase> aleka, if it IS uac causing problems you can go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and change the key EnableLUA to 0
[06:31] <z0rz> Xman2: Can you ping your gateway in Ubuntu?
[06:31] <ice109> how do i change folder permissions
[06:31] <acecase> aleka, doesn't sound like UAC though
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> ice109 chmod command normally.
[06:31] <Xman2> z0rz: and in ubuntu i can't even ping my gateway
[06:31] <z0rz> Xman2: Sounds like you have a crappy Cable provider.. but that's another issue ;)
[06:31] <Xman2> z0rz: so what should i do now?
[06:32] <RYUTAZA> =w=
[06:32] <Xman2> z0rz: any ideas?
[06:32] <xshad> hmm, tarelerulz isn't the point :) In keyb shortcuts, i can set a key for the music player. I want to set to another player than rythmbox :)
[06:32] <aleka> acecase:  yeah.. I did try and disable UAC, and vista was complaining about not having permissions and me needing to change ownership, when I tried to change ownership, it was saying permission denied/... pretty dumb stuff.. I thought i could just mount it under ubuntu and copy her files
[06:32] <z0rz> Xman2: Well, I'd call your ISP and pretend all you use is Ubuntu and you'd like help setting up yoru connection... I think you're just not getting an IP from your modem
[06:32] <xshad> because rhytm is default
[06:33] <Xman2> z0rz: could not understand?
[06:33] <z0rz> Xman2: Because if you point out it works in Windows and not in Ubuntu they'll just say it's your fault and they won't help you
[06:33] <cowbud> xshad: edit the preferred applications
[06:33] <acecase> aleka, I take it you are using a laptop? can't install the drive as a slave on the IDE?
[06:33] <z0rz> Xman2: Call your Cable Provider and ask them to help you set it up
[06:33] <cowbud> under system->preferences
[06:33] <z0rz> Xman2: I believe your modem (which assigns your computer an IP) is not handing out an IP via DHCP
[06:33] <gerro> got all my problems fixed on my debian xfce box but then I boot up and mouse doesn't move and I just see desktop background no icons or panels :(
[06:33] <acecase> aleka, seems like any time you try to help someone, their stuff doesn't act like it should
[06:33] <tarelerulz> xshad , oh that is cool. I could get down with that myself . Shortcuts are great. I love totem with all divx , xvid and avi and mp3 , mpg and stuff I don't use anything else for media
[06:34] <Xman2> z0rz: i did that too but they said they even heard about linux ever
[06:34] <xshad> there's only internet and system tabs... is there a file for that?
[06:34] <z0rz> Xman2: Sigh.. typical
[06:34] <axisys> anyone can help with the dim issue.. ? my laptop is running off of battery and the screen is dimmed
[06:34] <Xman2> thats the main problem
[06:34] <xshad> tarelerulz i've installed elisa :) pretty nice player
[06:34] <Alija_> Is anyone having problems to get&install bcm43xx-fwcutter?

[06:34] <aleka> bah... it's alright if it can't be done then...
[06:34] <xshad> i liked it :P lol
[06:35] <peepsalot> i need to login to a router over serial, but I don't understand how this is supposed to work
[06:35] <acecase> aleka, looks like the drive is corrupt. not dead just juggled some :)
[06:35] <mikebot> So, once I saw someone using ubuntu and they had a shortcut where they pressed a keyboard button and it would toggle a terminal window dropping down... how cna I do that?
[06:35] <axisys> gerro: how ? *sigh*
[06:35] <peepsalot> i think I have to use getty, but I still don't understand after looking at the man page
[06:35] <aleka> I wonder if an fschk could be run on it..
[06:35] <z0rz> Xman2: Well, I'm not sure what else to tell you w/o being there.  But I could offer my help in wording for my help :D.  Just ask: I have a Cable connection that isn't getting an IP from my modem.  My cable provider requires I login through a hot spot like web page to access the net.  Any ideas?
[06:36] <z0rz> Oh yeah and you might through in.. it works on Windows.. and you can access the login page just fine, but not on Ubuntu
[06:36] <gerro> axisys: I think mouse won't move because I switched other one with new one and I did reconfigure xorg but still not working right even tried Option "hwcursor" "on" and few other things
[06:36] <Xman2> !pastebin
[06:36] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:37] <Jordan_U> Xman2, What is the issue you are having? ( I just joined )
[06:37] <acecase> aleka, you could try ntfs-dos boot disk and chkdsk. ntfs-dos should have better luck finding the drive
[06:37] <gerro> axisys: I've had the no icons/panel shit happen before with xfce on xubuntu too its an annoying bug with that window manager or something
[06:37] <thesource> can some one tellme hoe to formate a dvd in ubuntu
[06:37] <acecase> the best thing in the world is steve gibson's
[06:37] <dew> So my firefox isn't letting me sign on to certain websites.
[06:37] <z0rz> Jordan_U: His Cable provider requires he login via a web page to access the net.  It works fine on Ubuntu.  The issue may be related, but his main issue, is that he can't get an IP from his cable modem.
[06:37] <webpirate> thesource>> use K3b for DVD/CDR operations
[06:37] <gerro> I think I'll install blackbox or fluxbox maybe
[06:37] <gerro> I need a really light window manager
[06:38] <Jordan_U> TheSource, Format for what? Do you just want to write a data DVD?
[06:38] <z0rz> Xman2: Have you tried power cycling your modem (Unplug it for a minute and plug it back in)
[06:38] <xshad> z0rz xfce :)

[06:38] <acecase> aleka, if it's worth putting a couple dollars into getting the data I would look at SpinRite 6
[06:38] <gerro> Xman2: those things are meant to run for like near eternity so their power cycling hocus pocus wears out every so often and they start to f themself over. I hate modems :(
[06:38] <rob> Jordan_U, yes?
[06:38] <underwatercow> Is there a GUI way to force quit a program?
[06:39] <aleka> acecase:  Thanks
[06:39] <Jordan_U> rob, eVAN
[06:39] <acecase> aleka, SpinRite'l cure what ales yah
[06:39] <PureEvilGeek> any one know what i might need to do?
[06:39] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, you around?
[06:39] <rob> ah-uh
[06:39] <TheSource> K3b where do i find that
[06:39] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, howdy...
[06:39] <gerro> underwatercow: alt f4? ctrl c? umm click the x?
[06:39] <webpirate> thesource>> do you have KDE installed?
[06:39] <TheSource> yes
[06:39] <underwatercow> gerro: I mean like a ctrl+alt+delete in windows
[06:40] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, hey i'm back.  i got the device to quit disconnecting, so I know the port, but I still don't understand how to login to my device
[06:40] <TheSource> but i use gnome now
[06:40] <gerro> underwatercow: I use xfce taskmanager and have it set to do ctrl alt delete or ctrl shift esc
[06:40] <webpirate> thesource>> in terminal do this sudo apt-get install k3b
[06:40] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, good to hear....
[06:40] <gnomefreak> TheSource: sudo apt-get install k3b
[06:40] <gerro> underwatercow: have it open your task managing apt with those key combos
[06:40] <Jordan_U> TheSource, It's in Applications -> Add / Remove
[06:40] <underwatercow> gerro: does gnome have something like that?
[06:40] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, are you familiar with getty?
[06:40] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, what are you trying to use the serial connection for?
[06:40] <gerro> underwatercow: definately, I just have no clue where with them hiding options deep in source code
[06:41] <craigbass1976> fyrestrtr, got sound working.  Criminy... that was kind of a process...
[06:41] <underwatercow> gerro: I found it
[06:41] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, sure... but if yer just looking for a terminal emulation app... like Hyperterm.. you can use minicom
[06:41] <underwatercow> gerro: System Monitor
[06:41] <gerro> underwatercow: good for you
[06:41] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, i have a router that is really messed up, i'm trying to fix it.  i can't even ping it over ethernet
[06:41] <underwatercow> gerro: thanks
[06:41] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, sudo apt-get install minicom
[06:41] <peepsalot> ok
[06:41] <gerro> peepsalot: I was thinking about switching over to mingetty and running less of them like 2 or so
[06:41] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, then... after installed, issue the command "minicom -s"
[06:42] <Jordan_U> underwatercow, xkill is nice also ( when you run it whatever application you click will be killed )
[06:42] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, this will have you set up your communication params...
[06:42] <gerro> Jordan_U: that my favorite app :)
[06:42] <underwatercow> Jordan_U: that's the one I was trying to think of... isn't there a gnome shortcut for it?
[06:42] <gerro> hey what is apt-get command to do a complete reinstall of a program? (removing configurations and everything) I seriously screwed up this one
[06:43] <default> root@dark:/etc/init.d# update-rc.d add bluetooth defaultupdate-rc.d: /etc/init.d/add: file does not exist
[06:43] <Jordan_U> underwatercow, I am sure there is, and if there isn't you can create one easily enough
[06:43] <default> why does it say this
[06:43] <underwatercow> gerro: apt-get remove --purge I would think, then reinstall?
[06:43] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, go under serial port setup... and change device to /dev/ttyUSBX  where X is the numeric value seen in your /var/log/messages
[06:43] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, ok, i'm trying to set it up now
[06:43] <fyrestrtr> gerro: sudo apt-get remove --purge program && sudo apt-get install prorgam
[06:43] <gerro> fyrestrtr: thx!
[06:44] <gerro> fyrestrtr: the double -- and remove then purge always confuses me
[06:44] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, cool... and after you set up the serial ports... under "Modem and dialing"... erase all values in the init string... and reset string...
[06:44] <TheSource> is there a way to fix ubuntu will out haveing to reinstall it all over
[06:44] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, if i have no hardware flow control, do I need software flow control?
[06:44] <default> is this a correct way to add hit
[06:44] <TheSource> and can u make a backup cd of the sys
[06:44] <default> hit = this
[06:44] <Kr0ntab> shouldnt hurt...
[06:44] <fyrestrtr> gerro: you need -- when the argument has more than one character in it, its somewhat of a standard.
[06:44] <PureEvilGeek> I'm trying to remotely access a share on my ubuntu 7.04 desktop and it won't let me in with my username and password. do i have to set a seperate one for smb and if so where?
[06:45] <Kr0ntab> after you finish.. you should save this as yer default... from the menu...
[06:45] <Geeunkown> asdf
[06:45] <Jordan_U> TheSource, Yes, to save space you can also just back up your home folder and your application list...

[06:47] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, yeah, i'm in!
[06:47] <TheSource> ohh i was just asking  couse some time i mess thing up
[06:47] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, word!
[06:47] <CoasterMaster> How do I control what wireless network Ubuntu defaults to?
[06:47] <TheSource> and i had this working for like 1yr now
[06:47] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, this a cisco router?  or somethin else...
[06:47] <TheSource> have a ton of stuff i dont want to have to redo id that happend
[06:48] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, linksys wrtsl54gs
[06:48] <Kr0ntab> cool
[06:48] <peepsalot> had to solder up the serial port
[06:48] <Kr0ntab> i was gonna say.. hehe
[06:48] <Kr0ntab> didnt know they came with serial...
[06:48] <webpirate> anyone from canada in here?
[06:49] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, that serial converter I got is pretty nice though, uses a 3.5mm headphone jack.  just solder 3 wires.
[06:49] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, oh thats cool....
[06:49] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, well good deal... glad its working for you.
[06:50] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, the udev rules file... is that what helped ya out finally?
[06:50] <h1st0> CoasterMaster: you can set the essid of the card.  Or use the network manager
[06:50] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, i just removed the brltty package entirely
[06:50] <Kr0ntab> ahh... did that remove other packages?
[06:51] <peepsalot> something like x11-brltty
[06:51] <peepsalot> i think that was it
[06:51] <davy> hello, I'm having problems graving cd's or dvd for some time, is there anyone else who had the same problem?
[06:51] <h1st0> davy: what is graving a cd?
[06:52] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, yeah its a package for the blind....
[06:52] <davy> to burn (i'm sorry by now you will probably know i use graveman to do so)
[06:52] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, apparently it's suppose to be fixed upstream...
[06:53] <CoasterMaster> h1st0, thanks, but I found what I was looking for (unsetting the SSIDs in the gconf-editor)
[06:53] <axisys> gerro: i just had to use the brightness key in my laptop to fix the dim ...duh!!
[06:53] <h1st0> davy: No idea writing works just fine here. But I use the built in burning
[06:53] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, now just a reminder... brltty is also a dependency for ubuntu-desktop... a meta package that was probably also removed when you removed brltty...
[06:54] <davy> :), thx, it worked fine before untill I installed a program, but I can't remember which unfortunately
[06:54] <gerro> fyrestrtr: hmm guess what I was looking for wasn't that simple. How would I reinstall a meta package?
[06:54] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, it doesnt do anything bad... but if you ever perform and upgrade... you'll probably want ubuntu-desktop to install a number of other packages.  just keep it in mind for the future.
[06:54] <davy> I'm going through the logs, and see if there is anything strange
[06:55] <gerro> fyrestrtr: because I sorta broke my window manager...
[06:55] <GNine> !synaptic
[06:55] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[06:55] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, hmm ok. well, it didn't mention removing ubuntu-desktop when i removed it
[06:56] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, cool.. well glad everything worked out.
[06:56] <h1st0> gerro: just sudo apt-get instlal <packagename>  if the package is there all its depends will be.
[06:56] <Jordan_U> gerro, You install a meta package just like any other package
[06:56] <gilster> i need some help with scp?

[06:56] <ubotu> gilster: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:56] <ubuntu> so i'm in root and i can't change folder permissions
[06:56] <peepsalot> Kr0ntab, yeah, thx for the help
[06:56] <Kr0ntab> peepsalot, np.  :-)
[06:56] <ubuntu> everytime i change em they get changed back
[06:56] <ubuntu> how do i change my nick
[06:56] <gerro> h1st0 Jordan_U: I don't want to reinstall an alias for a set of packages I want to reinstall the actual set of packages the meta package represents
[06:56] <ma1> sdf
[06:56] <ma1> nm
[06:56] <h1st0> ubotu: /nick <name>
[06:56] <Kr0ntab> ubuntu, /nick <nickname>
[06:57] <h1st0> !nickserv | ubuntu_
[06:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nickserv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:57] <h1st0> !nick | ubuntu_
[06:57] <ubotu> ubuntu_: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[06:57] <ma1> ok no how do i change folder permissions
[06:57] <noodles13> PureEvilGeek: have you tried just dragging it over?
[06:57] <ma1> i'm logged in as root
[06:57] <gilster> i am using scp now to transfer files on network speed is only at 450-500 . It should be much faster i assumed
[06:57] <gilster> any suggestions
[06:57] <h1st0> ma1: chmod
[06:57] <gilster> ?
[06:57] <Jordan_U> ma1, You should never log in as root
[06:57] <ma1> yea yea yea
[06:57] <ma1> chmod what
[06:57] <gerro> h1st0 Jordan_U: I highly doubt my entire window manager is 26kb....
[06:58] <GNine> logged in as root.  ha!
[06:58] <h1st0> ma1: What permissions do you want to set?
[06:58] <ma1> when i right click the folder theres a tab called permissions
[06:58] <ma1> i can't change any of those
[06:58] <h1st0> gilster: maybe you hav a firewall on your router or something?
[06:58] <chuy_max> I've been experiencing system crashes every now and then (computer freezes suddenly), I'm running a P4 3 GHz with HT, 256 MB RAM, does anyone know if my CPU has an issue like this?
[06:58] <ex_> Jordan_U Why never login as root I ask but I never get a straight answer
[06:58] <Jordan_U> gerro, The point of a meta-package is that when you install it it makes sure all of the packages it "depends" on are also installed, it contains no binary itself
[06:58] <gilster> hlst0: on my routers
[06:58] <gilster> ?
[06:59] <ma1> !chmod
[06:59] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[06:59] <h1st0> ma1: open a terminal and type in gksu nautilus
[06:59] <ma1> so how do i use chmod
[06:59] <GNine> root is danger zone.. specially if no user experience
[06:59] <ma1> i'm in xubuntu
[06:59] <Kr0ntab> gilster, there might be a slight overhead due to encryption... but thats still a tad slow.. what network lies between hosts...
[06:59] <h1st0> ma1: that will give you a root file browser to do it.
[06:59] <gerro> Jordan_U: that's perfectly fine so long as it works both ways when I wish to remove it and dependencies
[06:59] <gerro> Jordan_U: but it doesn't...
[06:59] <h1st0> ma1: ahh well open a terminal. and cd to the directory you want to change the file in.
[06:59] <davy> in the message log it says 'drive ready SeekComplete Error'
[06:59] <Jordan_U> ex_, It is a security risk ( especially if you actually log into gnome as root ) and makes it much easier to shoot yourself in the foot and break your system
[06:59] <ma1> and then?
[06:59] <h1st0> ma1: What permissions do you want to change?
[07:00] <Kr0ntab> gilster, are the two machines on the same local area network?  on a single switch?  over wireless?
[07:00] <Jordan_U> gerro, What do you mean?
[07:00] <ma1> i'm trying to get an anon user to be able to login and see this directory
[07:00] <ex_> Jordan_U okay thanks man :)
[07:00] <ma1> on an ftp server
[07:00] <gilster> Kr0ntab: i got two machines here. one is wired to router one is wireless
[07:00] <gerro> Jordan_U: I mean it shovels in programs and stuff but when I try to remove the meta package it doesn't touch the programs installed, however if they aren't installed and I install the meta package it puts them on there
[07:00] <Jordan_U> ex_, np :)
[07:00] <h1st0> ma1: chmod a+r /path/to/directory
[07:00] <default> what does this command do
[07:00] <default>  update-rc.d bluetooth defaults
[07:00] <skinnypuppy> I'm about to try out a different video card in my system, is there anything else other than xorg.conf that I should make certain is backed up?
[07:01] <h1st0> default: adds bluetooth to start up init.
[07:01] <Kr0ntab> gilster, what speed is the wireless host associated at?
[07:01] <gerro> Jordan_U: I'm just going to download the package and tear it apart for list of apps it installs
[07:01] <h1st0> skinnypuppy: not really
[07:01] <ex_> Is there an Adobe Flash Player for the 64 bit version of Ubuntu?
[07:01] <Jordan_U> gerro, Use apt-get autoremove to remove packages that were installed by meta-packages that you no longer have
[07:01] <h1st0> ex_: no
[07:01] <jpastore> does anyone know why nm-tool would not show my wifi card even though it's there
[07:01] <gilster> Kr0ntab: i am not sure. how can i find that out
[07:01] <Kr0ntab> gilster, if its a linux host... try "iwconfig" to give you this info...
[07:01] <ex_> damn
[07:01] <gerro> Jordan_U: thank you!! *hugs*
[07:01] <WaltzingAlong> ex_: basically it has to do with the philosophy employed by unix and derivatives; users use the system, administrator administrates. notice the separation
[07:01] <h1st0> ex_: you have to run ie or firefox through wine I believe.
[07:01] <ma1> h1st0 how do i know it worked
[07:01] <jpastore> could this be a driver issue? even though ti's working for me now?
[07:01] <scarter> hp/cpq v3000z, nvidia 6150 w/ ver. 100.14.11, amd x2, ubuntu amd64. suspend or hibernate will not resume. what setting am i missing to unload the driver prior to suspend/hibernate and load during resume?
[07:01] <gilster> right
[07:01] <Jordan_U> gerro, np :)
[07:01] <h1st0> ma1: well everyone has read access now to that folder
[07:01] <Frogzoo> jpastore: define "it's there" is the driver loaded?
[07:02] <Cyborg235-> hi all
[07:02] <h1st0> ma1: a+r  is like saying "all + read"
[07:02] <jpastore> Frogzoo, well, it shows up in ifconfig I'
[07:02] <h1st0> ma1: you need to read some basics on linux though.
[07:02] <WaltzingAlong> ex_: adobe has not provided a 64bit flash. you could run a 32bit chroot environment for that
[07:02] <jpastore> Frogzoo, sorry... I'm using eht1 right now which is my wifi card. I'll do an lsmod in a sec
[07:02] <Cyborg235-> can i set up my text color in Xchat  please
[07:02] <Jordan_U> !flash64 | ex_
[07:02] <ubotu> ex_: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[07:02] <Frogzoo> jpastore: that's fine then, iwconfig will show it then?
[07:02] <skinnypuppy> hlst0 , so all it would take to restore the previous card would be boot into terminal and rename the xorg.backup file and reboot?
[07:02] <Cyborg235-> beside of using CTRL+K
[07:02] <gerro> Jordan_U: there is no such command...
[07:03] <ice109> h1st0 nope didn't work
[07:03] <default> h1st0, how do i check if this is already started when linux boots
[07:03] <webpirate> I have a script for flash install.....give me email and I can send it to you
[07:03] <ice109> still can't see the directory from my ftp client
[07:03] <jpastore> Frogzoo, yes
[07:03] <Frogzoo> jpastore: if you have eth1, the driver for it's working
[07:03] <gilster> Kr0ntab: when i do iwconfig on my wireless laptop it gives me info and says 5mbit/sec
[07:03] <Cyborg235-> anyone can help please
[07:03] <Jordan_U> gerro, sudo apt-get autoremove ? Are you running 6.04 or below?
[07:03] <Frogzoo> jpastore: so for whatever reason, it's an nm-config issue
[07:03] <jpastore> Frogzoo, but network manager doesn't with nm-tool so my vpn won't start
[07:03] <gilster> Kr0ntab: 5mbit
[07:03] <jpastore> Frogzoo, any idea how to resolve it?
[07:03] <gerro> Jordan_U: yes I'm root trying the command
[07:03] <gilster> Kr0ntab: it is an atheros card
[07:04] <gerro> Jordan_U: oh crap this my debian etch box :(
[07:04] <jpastore> Frogzoo, I dont' have that command or are you talking about the gui?
[07:04] <ice109> i don't understand why i can't change folder permissions from the filemanager
[07:04] <gerro> Jordan_U: isn't apt-get the same though?
[07:04] <Kr0ntab> gilster, what does the bit rate say exactly...
[07:04] <Frogzoo> jpastore: I meant nm-tool I guess
[07:04] <gilster> Kr0ntab: in iwconfig
[07:04] <GNine> 3 bogies on the run.. this session is kind of fast.. whew
[07:04] <Kr0ntab> for example....  Bit Rate:54 Mb/s
[07:05] <Kr0ntab> gilster, yes...
[07:05] <Jordan_U> gerro, Ahh, etch doesn't have the version of apt-get with autoremove, it's a relatively new feature in apt ( though aptitude has had it for as long as I can remember )
[07:05] <Artemis3> in etch you probably don't have sudo so omit that if you are root :P
[07:05] <GNine> duh
[07:05] <gilster> Kr0ntab: it says 5 mb/s
[07:05] <gerro> Jordan_U: how would I use aptitude to do it then?
[07:05] <Kr0ntab> gilster, very very slow...
[07:05] <gilster> indeed
[07:05] <Artemis3> Jordan_U, last time i checked, etch has the autoremove thing...
[07:06] <Jordan_U> gerro, you can use deborphan to help find the orphaned packages
[07:06] <gilster> Kr0ntab: why is that?
[07:06] <Kr0ntab> gilster, yer link quality... singnal level... and noise level...
[07:06] <gerro> Jordan_U: I never really bothered with aptitude just apt-get or dpkg, usually use synaptic with gui, speaking of which is there a liter app than synaptic that I can use?
[07:06] <punsad> deborphan is a great
[07:06] <Kr0ntab> gilos, what are they?
[07:06] <Kr0ntab> oops
[07:06] <Jordan_U> gerro, You can only use aptitude to remove dependencies of packages you installed with aptitude :(
[07:06] <Kr0ntab> gilster,  what are they?
[07:06] <GNine> bs .. check your router .. talk to it
[07:06] <skinnypuppy> Which is the correct xorg.conf file to backup /etc/X11 or /var/lib/x11 ? Noob Question sorry
[07:07] <Artemis3>  /etc/X11
[07:07] <gilster> Kr0ntab: the routher is a simple Dlink 524
[07:07] <Frogzoo> skinnypuppy: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:07] <skinnypuppy> thanks all
[07:07] <jpastore> Frogzoo, ok...I'm reading about there being an old about about this...I guess they never got around to fixing it
[07:07] <gerro> Jordan_U: deborphan lists nothing about the meta package I was trying to remove but it says some mesa-dri package is orphaned which probably why I can't get mesa driver working on that comp :/
[07:07] <Kr0ntab> gilster, so this really isn't an ubuntu question... more of a wireless and scp question... lets take this offline.  i'll send you a query...
[07:08] <GNine> a slow connection is a connection .. what you need is to speak the same language now
[07:08] <gerro> Jordan_U: this comp is so jacked up I'm just going to reinstall and try again perhaps
[07:09] <WaltzingAlong> ice109: makes sense to me that the file manager would be a place from which one ought to be able to change permissions
[07:09] <ice109> can someone help me , i'm trying to serve a mounted drive through an ftp server and when i connecte with a client nothing shows up in the directory
[07:09] <pawan> hi
[07:09] <gerro> Jordan_U: thx for help
[07:09] <pawan> can we run windows games in ubuntu
[07:09] <ice109> waltzingalong then why can't i do it
[07:10] <Jordan_U> gerro, np
[07:10] <pawan> hello
[07:10] <GNine> you change permissions as root.. be careful of your choices
[07:10] <ice109> Gnine , it's not working
[07:10] <pawan> can we run windows games in ubuntu
[07:10] <ice109> i change the pulldown menu and it just reversts
[07:10] <Jordan_U> pawan, Some run in wine
[07:11] <Frogzoo> ice109: all ftp servers have pretty tight default security settings, check your docs
[07:11] <Jordan_U> !appdb | pawan
[07:11] <ubotu> pawan: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[07:11] <ice109> frogzoo i've already change all the necessary security settings
[07:11] <pawan> i want to play virtua tennis 3 in ubuntu
[07:11] <fujin> good luck on that little venture
[07:11] <Frogzoo> ice109: anything in the ftpd logs?
[07:12] <ice109> actually maybe i haven't flipped the right setting
[07:12] <pawan> i installed it
[07:12] <pawan> but not opening
[07:13] <Frogzoo> pawan: you've already been given a link
[07:13] <pawan> can we play virtua tennis 3 in ubuntu
[07:14] <Frogzoo> pawan: also don't use the ubuntu wine repo which is dated, use the budgetdedicated repo mentioned in the ubuntu wiki doc
[07:14] <Frogzoo> !wine | pawan
[07:14] <ubotu> pawan: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[07:14] <underwatercow> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1
[07:14] <bruenig> start disallowing ubuntu repos on the basis that they are dated and you find you have nothing left
[07:14] <ice109> this is seriously the most difficult time i have ever had transferring files from one computer to the other over a network
[07:14] <pawan> hello
[07:14] <GNine> tru
[07:15] <Frogzoo> bruenig: for wine, lots of stuff doesn't work with the older releases (eg. ubuntus)
[07:15] <GNine> perspective is important
[07:15] <Jordan_U> bruenig, For some things it is more important, like the fact that the wine team does not support releases more than a few weeks old
[07:15] <pawan> i am not able to  play virtua tennis 3 in ubuntu
[07:15] <Frogzoo> GNine: that's your point of view
[07:16] <GNine> point of view, yes.. you go ahead and make YOUR system unstable if you want to
[07:16] <pawan> can we use the wine command line
[07:16] <pawan> i want to run the vt3.exe file
[07:16] <pawan> when i double click nothing happens
[07:17] <Frogzoo> pawan: you've already been given links - time for you to help yourself
[07:17] <ice109> can someone help me, how do i change file permissions
[07:17] <Frogzoo> ice109: chmod

[07:18] <pawan> how to point to program files sega wine folder

[07:19] <jaybob> i was wondering if any one know how to get wine to work i installed it but its showing all my c program files as empty and stuff.
[07:19] <Jordan_U> jaybob, It will be empty until you install something
[07:19] <jpastore> Frogzoo, I'm reading that someone may have fixed this by enabling thendiswrapper...I'm not suing it now, will enabling break my wifi?
[07:20] <astro76> jaybob, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
[07:20] <ice109> how do i change the permissions of all the files in mounted drive?

[07:20] <pawan> how to install it
[07:21] <jaybob> well i wanted to port some of my games and programs that are installed on my xp.
[07:21] <jaybob> is there some simple way of doing that without "installing"
[07:21] <benny9000> anyone using gnunet on feisty?
[07:21] <metaborn> Make sure it's mouted rw and then do a :: sudo chmod -R /mountpoint
[07:21] <Jordan_U> ice109, Is it a filesystem that supports UNIX file permissions ( ie not ntfs or fat ) ?
[07:21] <ice109> fat
[07:21] <ice109> ahh
[07:21] <ice109> god damnit
[07:21] <ice109> i just remembered
[07:21] <astro76> ice109, you'd use the recursive option for chmod, chmod -R <permission> <directory>
[07:21] <ice109> its fat32

[07:23] <jaybob> this link is not helping solve my problem
[07:23] <ice109> vsftpd
[07:24] <jaybob> i cant install it becase when i type "wine c:\ or any thing its not found.
[07:24] <Jordan_U> jaybob, I am not sure what the problem is with program files being empty unless you have installed something
[07:24] <ironfroggy> any idea why i get "Couldn't find package darcs" even tho ive installed it before on ubuntu?
[07:24] <astro76> jaybob, there's no c:, you do wine path/to/program.exe
[07:24] <jaybob> well i have it all installed on my xp drive
[07:25] <jaybob> i tryed that to
[07:25] <jaybob> and it cant find it
[07:25] <linuxpoet> stupid question... find / -name +mmin +5 returns 100 files
[07:25] <astro76> jaybob, you need to install it with wine
[07:25] <jaybob> i copyed my intire game drive over.
[07:25] <linuxpoet> I want to pipe it through rm
[07:25] <Jordan_U> jaybob, You can't run it off your xp drive AFIK, it must be installed in wine
[07:25] <linuxpoet> find / -name +mmin +5|rm -f -
[07:25] <linuxpoet> doesn't work
[07:25] <linuxpoet> whta am I missing
[07:25] <jaybob> alright well how do i install it on wine then becase im not understand ing that
[07:25] <ice109> ok is anyone familiar with any ftps they can help me configure?
[07:26] <ice109> cause i'm not having any lucky with vsftpd
[07:26] <Jordan_U> jaybob, Just run the install program from wine
[07:26] <jaybob> it wont let me lol it says its not found
[07:26] <jaybob> is what im trying to get at
[07:26] <prohna> if i need to install X11 how do i know which one to install from synaptic?
[07:26] <underwatercow> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1
[07:26] <prohna> as well as crypt libraries
[07:27] <Jordan_U> jaybob, if the setup.exe is on your desktop you would do "wine Desktop/setup.exe" for instance
[07:27] <astro76> linuxpoet, linuxpoet find / -name +mmin +5 -exec rm -f {} \;
[07:27] <Jordan_U> prohna, Did you do a server / alternate install?
[07:27] <Say10> isnt ubuntu a pokemon?
[07:27] <Jordan_U> Say10, no
[07:28] <prohna> just tried to install the client
[07:28] <prohna> it seemed to compile right
[07:28] <prohna> alot of errors but i got a binary
[07:28] <astro76> underwatercow, why are you repeatedly pasting that?
[07:28] <prohna> and it starts
[07:28] <faileas> Say10: its swahili for something...
[07:28] <prohna> once i pick a server to join and it gets to character creation after about 10 seconds it closes
[07:28] <underwatercow> astro76: I pasted it twice, the second time to see if ubotu commented on it the same as in ubuntu+1
[07:29] <prohna> its very frustrating
[07:30] <jaybob> oh crap lol i had a syntax error and i just thought there was a difrent way i hate linux some times
[07:30] <Jordan_U> prohna, Do you know what X11 is?
[07:30] <Bjornalf> hi can anyone help me figure out what i'll need to do to restore grub after a post-linux winxp install? i know it's going to overwrite the mbr
[07:30] <prohna> not really
[07:30] <Say10> nevermind guys, the pokemon was DODUO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doduo#Doduo
[07:30] <astro76> underwatercow, ah I see... afaik they have more (useless) stuff turned on in other channels
[07:30] <prohna> the install help for tomenet said i needed X11
[07:30] <Jordan_U> !grub | Bjornalf
[07:30] <ubotu> Bjornalf: 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
[07:30] <Bjornalf> ty
[07:30] <prohna> but synaptic has tons of different libraries
[07:30] <prohna> so i just installed a couple lol
[07:31] <prohna> when i didnt have them installed it wouldnt compile period
[07:31] <prohna> now it does
[07:31] <prohna> i think it has something to do with fonts in terminal or something
[07:31] <Jordan_U> prohna, X is simply what lets you display the GUI on the screen, you already have it installed
[07:31] <prohna> okay
[07:31] <prohna> do you know what tomenet is?
[07:32] <astro76> Jordan_U, not the -dev packages though
[07:32] <Jordan_U> prohna, You may need headers for X to complile some things, but that is something different
[07:32] <prohna> yeah
[07:32] <prohna> i got it to compile though
[07:32] <prohna> its just crashing or something
[07:32] <zf-daily> hi, for some reason, my box's date has been reset back to 2002. wtf? i didn't even do anything, why did this happen?   so now my next questions. what is the best way to set current today's date ?
[07:32] <prohna> and i cant figure out how to find out why without an error message or something
[07:33] <Myrtti> zf-daily: ntp
[07:33] <tazgodx> can anyone help me install drivers for my wireless card D-Link DWL-520+ on gutsy?
[07:33] <Bogus8> I'm trying to run 7.04 on a dell deminsion 3000... it's freezing after the cd boot menu screen (I have tried noapic nolapic and it still goes blank)
[07:33] <underwatercow> somehow the font in my terminal became supersmall... can anyone help?
[07:33] <prohna> oh man taz i tried something along those lines the other day
[07:33] <prohna> yer in for a headache
[07:33] <tazgodx> lol
[07:33] <mossby> Question: What file do I edit if I want to add a program to the "start up" list.. so that it opens upon boot... also is there a GUI hidden in Ubuntu for this purpose?
[07:33] <Frogzoo> underwatercow: -> #ubuntu+1 if that's your issue
[07:33] <tazgodx> thats just great....
[07:33] <astro76> !gutsy | tazgodx
[07:33] <ubotu> tazgodx: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[07:34] <underwatercow> Frogzoo: is that a Gutsy issue?
[07:34] <Frogzoo> underwatercow: it is
[07:34] <underwatercow> Frogzoo: thanks
[07:34] <Frogzoo> underwatercow: but if you're running feisty, say so
[07:34] <underwatercow> Frogzoo: nope, Gutsy
[07:34] <BernieMac> when in October will the final version of gutsy be released?
[07:34] <Bogus8> anyone got any ideas?
[07:34] <underwatercow> BernieMax: 18th I think is the plan?
[07:35] <prohna> yes
[07:35] <Frogzoo> underwatercow: ok, well here's not the right place for you
[07:35] <BernieMac> underwatercow, woot! haha thanks
[07:35] <Jordan_U> Bogus8, If you are sure you want to install it ( not just test the LiveCD ) you could try using the Alternate install CD
[07:35] <prohna> Bogus8, yes i have issues
[07:35] <astro76> Bogus8, what video card?
[07:35] <underwatercow> Frogzoo: I didn't think it was a Gutsy question, otherwise I would have gone in there
[07:35] <Bogus8> Jordan_U: no, I need to recover some stuff of the HD (the current OS is hosed)
[07:35] <Bogus8> astro76: I think it's i810 (built on)
[07:36] <Jordan_U> Bogus8, Might try Knoppix, do you get any errors?
[07:37] <Bogus8> Jordan_U: nope, it get a little green matrix like stuff at the top for a sec before "loading kernel" then it goes blank
[07:37] <mikebot> I accidently moved my 'internt' menu into the 'accessories' menu and can't move it out.. Is there a way to do this?
[07:37] <Bogus8> astro76: intel 865gv (it seems)
[07:37] <Jordan_U> Bogaurd, Have you done the integrity test to see if the CD burned and is being read properly?

[07:38] <eomer> is there a guide about downgrading the kernel i can read?
[07:38] <prohna> so what does this look like
[07:38] <prohna> gcc -g -pipe -Wall -D"USE_X11" -D"USE_GCU" -I/usr/X11R6/include -DDEFAULT_PATH="\"./lib\"" -O3 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs  -Iserver -Iserver/lua -o client/lua_bind.o -c client/lua_bind.c
[07:38] <rabies> eomer: downgrading?
[07:39] <Bogus8> astro76: you got any suggestions?
[07:39] <LoneShadow> !hibernate
[07:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:39] <ubuntu_> question about MBRs:  if I have multiple bootable disks, do I have MBRs on each disk?
[07:39] <bruenig> eomer, it's just like upgrading but the other way
[07:39] <Bogus8> there has to be some arguement to pass... No?
[07:39] <rabies> prohna: a gcc command to compile lua w/ x support?
[07:39] <eomer> yeah, going form version 2.6.20 to 2.6.12
[07:39] <prohna> missing declarations though
[07:39] <astro76> Bogus8, same as Jordan_U suggested
[07:39] <prohna> thats the main error im getting trying to compile this
[07:39] <rabies> eomer: well...its prolly the same as upgrading
[07:39] <Jordan_U> eomer, Why are you downgrading, and are you trying to use a kernel that you had installed before?
[07:40] <rabies> eomer: i mean the tools are the same unless you're going to 2.4.xx
[07:40] <eomer> no, i downloaded and installed ubuntu with 2.6.20 and i need 2.6.12
[07:40] <rabies> eomer: yep. the same as upgrading, get the source, compile, etc.'
[07:40] <eomer> if i download that version of the kernel form kernel.org... it should work right?
[07:40] <Jordan_U> eomer, Why?
[07:40] <rabies> eomer: if you compile it properly
[07:40] <rabies> eomer: and install it
[07:41] <rabies> eomer: and update lilo or grub
[07:41] <eomer> is there any howto that teach me that?
[07:41] <rabies> eomer: sure
[07:41] <rabies> eomer: i'd check the ubuntu wiki
[07:41] <hmhowie> yeah. everything should work. i can't think of any userland changes between 2.6.12 and 2.6.20
[07:41] <eomer> could you redirect it to me?
[07:41] <rabies> eomer: i dont know it, look it up
[07:41] <Jordan_U> !kernel | eomer
[07:41] <ubotu> eomer: 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
[07:41] <Jordan_U> eomer, Why do you need that specific version?
[07:42] <eomer> it seems there are problems with the pcmcia wireless cards
[07:42] <eomer> with newer kernles
[07:42] <hmhowie> just out of curiosity, why do you need 2.6.12?
[07:42] <eomer> and also with wireless drivers
[07:42] <rabies> eomer: this channel is for helping people, we arent the helpdesk =P
[07:42] <eomer> i know, sorry
[07:42] <Bogus8> Jordan_U, astro76: Knoppix 4 is working... does that give any insight?
[07:42] <zf-daily> thx fixed it
[07:43] <alecwh> For some odd reason, when I click on the volume button on my gnome panel, and go to "Switches", there isn't a switch for headphones. Can someone help me solve this? It's required for listening to music at my school. :(
[07:43] <Jordan_U> eomer, Are you having problems? I am not.
[07:43] <astro76> Bogus8, means you can definitely get it working using the alternate cd to install, I don't know if there are any workarounds for the livecd
[07:43] <Myrtti> zf-daily: np
[07:43] <rabies> alecwh: alsa problem
[07:43] <alecwh> rabies, how do I fix it?
[07:43] <Bogus8> astro76: poo i carry that disc with me everywhere... any "works on everything" live disc out there?
[07:43] <rabies> alecwh: well i'd install alsamixer and see if theres an option to mute
[07:44] <rabies> alecwh: if not then i'd check out #alsa
[07:44] <alecwh> ok.
[07:44] <alecwh> thanks.
[07:44] <rabies> alecwh: your drivers might be buggy
[07:44] <rabies> alecwh: np
[07:44] <astro76> Bogus8, you have the only ubuntu live disc there is
[07:44] <eomer> hmmm... yeah. when i try to compile some tools for packet injection using wireless cards i get a lot of errors regarding linux headers, i've updated them, downloaded libraries and nothing is working. i saw it working in a 2.6.12 kernel, so, i'll give it a try
[07:44] <Jordan_U> Bogus8, Knoppix is probably the best
[07:44] <hmhowie> oh, okay. i'm using a standard cisco aeronet 350 and it works on every kernel i've tried :)
[07:44] <rabies> eomer: trying to crack your neightbor's WEP eh?
[07:44] <Bamnana> Emerald Issue anyone willing to help me plz?
[07:44] <Bogus8> astro76: I meant any distro
[07:44] <rabies> neighbor
[07:44] <Bogus8> Jordan_U: thanks... guess I'll keep that in my bag of tricks as well
[07:45] <astro76> Bogus8, you mean to use as livecd always?
[07:45] <Bogus8> astro76: correct
[07:45] <anir> hello .. How are you gentlemen
[07:45] <rabies> eomer: for shame!
[07:45] <hmhowie> eomer: what tools are you trying to compile, btw? maybe i can have a look at the source
[07:45] <seamus7> hi.. what is the specific text to add to my /etc/network/interfaces file in order to set up a static ip using wpa2 security?
[07:45] <eomer> betterm trying to crack my own wpa!
[07:46] <rabies> seamus7: wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager
[07:46] <rabies> seamus7: you need both for it to be easy
[07:46] <rabies> seamus7: those are programs btw
[07:46] <progek> Anyone know what could cause VLC to play DVDs like this-> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/~erick/vlc.png ?
[07:47] <eomer> hmhowie: it is a set of tools called airbase, they were coded by Johnny Cache, it has tools like pcap2air, wepcrack
[07:47] <anir> umm.. I need a small help..
[07:47] <seamus7> rabies: I have Network Manager ... I think I always used wep security previously when setting up a static ip ...
[07:47] <Jordan_U> progek, DRM'd DVDs?
[07:47] <progek> Hi Jordan_U I have that enabled
[07:47] <rabies> seamus7: you need wpa_supplicant to do wpa on linux, NetworkManager supports it seamlessly
[07:47] <progek> it starts to play fine when it shows the copyright etc
[07:47] <hmhowie> eomae, just a second. i'll fire up the linux box and try to compile them :)
[07:47] <progek> movie rating
[07:47] <rabies> seamus7: otherwise you need to set up wpa_supplicant to start on boot and to connect automatically
[07:47] <eomer> hmhowie: i'm at the last step of the installation proces, but when trying to do the make... i get the errors... errors regarding the wireless.h header
[07:47] <progek> but once the film starts it looks like that
[07:48] <hmhowie> eomer. a-ha. a lot of work has been done in wireless.h since the days of 2.6.12
[07:48] <anir> I have downloaded the real player with extension .bin and plash player with ext .tar.gz to my desktop.. now I dont know how to install
[07:48] <h1st0> anir: you don't need to download flash player
[07:48] <rabies> anir: and you dont need real player
[07:48] <h1st0> anir: just sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[07:48] <Jordan_U> progek, But it is DRM'd? ( trying to pinpoint where it is failing, not saying that you don't have it setup correctly )
[07:48] <eomer> hmhowie: i know, but maybe that work is creating the trouble
[07:48] <anir> oh..
[07:49] <anir> Macromedia Plash player?
[07:49] <eomer> hmhowie: would you like to see the errors i get?
[07:49] <rabies> anir: flash
[07:49] <DerangedDingo> progek: maybe a problem with your preferences? (video output filter maybe??)
[07:49] <Jordan_U> anir, Use Appliations -> Add / Remove instead
[07:49] <anir> rabies: yes
[07:49] <seamus7> rabies: I checked and I have wpa_supplicant already installed .. since Network Manager doesn't support static ip's ... I need to add the appropriate text manually to the /etc/network/interfaces file ... do you know what the text might be?
[07:49] <eomer> by the way, i've google that with no success at all.... the close i got was from a MacOS user.
[07:50] <eomer> with the same problem
[07:50] <hmhowie> emoer: yeah, can you paste the errors to pastebin?
[07:50] <eomer> hmhowie: yeah, hold on
[07:50] <rabies> seamus7: not off the top of my head, although im sure the ubuntu forms might be helpful
[07:51] <anir> Jordan_U: ok.. thank you
[07:51] <rabies> seamus7: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136
[07:51] <seamus7> rabies: ok thx.
[07:52] <Bamnana> Can anyone help me? or just tell me were to seek for help about a problem i have with emerald and beryl
[07:52] <Jordan_U> anir, np, Installing applications in Linux is much different from Windows ( IMO easier / better )
[07:52] <progek> Jordan_U I'm not sure if it's drm'd or not, I've tried several movies though and they all look like that. DerangedDingo, thanks but I couldn't find that in vlc
[07:52] <astro76> !beryl | Bamnana
[07:52] <ubotu> Bamnana: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[07:52] <Bamnana> thanx alot
[07:52] <anir> Jordan_U: yeah.. Its a bit different.. but once i learn it it will be easy .. ;)
[07:52] <Jordan_U> progek, Have you tried a home movie? ( almost all commercial DVDs have DRM )
[07:53] <progek> no but thats a good idea
[07:53] <progek> I'll try that
[07:54] <dwxreaper> i love this ubuntu but vnc is so damn slow :/
[07:54] <dwxreaper> where remote desktop is fast as hell, and all i use is remote connection
[07:54] <s0y> anyone use kiba dock?
[07:54] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, You might prefer ssh -X then
[07:54] <dwxreaper> how do i make it fast.
[07:54] <astro76> dwxreaper, what is the client?
[07:55] <dwxreaper> jordan: i am coming from a windows box, i think exceed costs money
[07:55] <dwxreaper> astro: tightvnc
[07:55] <eomer> hmhowie: hold on, let me compile and build everything
[07:55] <astro76> dwxreaper, what server are you using in Ubuntu?
[07:55] <eomer> hmhowie: i'll let you know if it takes a while...
[07:55] <dwxreaper> astro:vnc
[07:55] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, "i think exceed costs money" what do you mean by that?
[07:55] <hmhowie> eomer: on my computer compilation fails really early because of a missing header.
[07:55] <Reaby> ok, has anybody else got problem with terminal after todays gutsy update ?
[07:56] <dwxreaper> jordan: to use x windows on a windows pc dont i need x windows emulation software?
[07:56] <astro76> dwxreaper, which one exactly? vino (gnome built-in), vnc4server, etc...?
[07:56] <Jordan_U> Reaby, #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy, and check bug reports
[07:56] <OrTigaS> hi! i downloaded file and it goes to / ..... where was / ?
[07:56] <astro76> dwxreaper, tightvnc?
[07:56] <eomer> hmhowie: yeah, in my computer too... i just get a bunch of errors...
[07:56] <OrTigaS> i'm trying to browse, but where?
[07:56] <dwxreaper> astro: i downloaded vnc through synacptic
[07:56] <dwxreaper> yeah tightvnc
[07:57] <dwxreaper> it's slow as hell, this is a 100 meg connection..
[07:57] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, A VNC server comes by default with Ubuntu
[07:57] <dwxreaper> jordan: yeah i tried that one, slow to
[07:57] <astro76> dwxreaper, you might try the bult in, or vnc4server, and use the vnc 4 client on windows, it works better than tightvnc now I"ve found
[07:57] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, Just go to System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
[07:57] <astro76> dwxreaper, I'm running that on a lan at work
[07:57] <Tmob> anyone know how to set the time on ubuntu?
[07:57] <dwxreaper> astro: is it responsive like remote-desktop?
[07:58] <Tmob> for some reason my laptop keeps getting its time set to EST
[07:58] <astro76> dwxreaper, it's better
[07:58] <Tmob> i want PST
[07:58] <astro76> dwxreaper, than tight, not remote desktop ;)
[07:58] <eomer> hmhowie: i get errors like type not defined
[07:58] <Tmob> if i do a ntpdate and update the clock it comes back to PDt
[07:58] <dwxreaper> gahh, i really want working remote control of the gui, i am trying to learn this os
[07:58] <progek> Jordan_U this is what I get from running vlc in terminal: No accelerated IMDCT transform found
[07:58] <progek> not sure what that means though
[07:58] <progek> maybe that has something to do with it?
[07:58] <astro76> dwxreaper, it works extremely well
[07:58] <Tmob> in /etc/timezone it has America/Los_Angeles
[07:59] <dwxreaper> astro: i can't tolerate a 500ms delay that's extremly irritating
[07:59] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, It should be very responsive with a 100 meg connection
[07:59] <eomer> hmhowie: can i pm you?
[07:59] <Probolinggo_Co_M> CeWek'S
[07:59] <faileas> dwxreaper: it should be fast. if you wanted an alternate i'd recommend nomachine
[08:00] <dwxreaper> faileas: why is this not fast?
[08:00] <astro76> dwxreaper, I wouldn't either, try our suggestion and see if it's better
[08:00] <dwxreaper> astro: what is your suggestion?
[08:00] <mindrape> ...
[08:00] <dwxreaper> i have tried the pre installed server, and downloaded vnc from the package already
[08:00] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, ssh -X will blow anything ( except NX ) out of the water though
[08:00] <astro76> dwxreaper, the gnome-built in, or vnc4server, and vnc4 client on windows
[08:00] <faileas> dwxreaper: no idea. i use it all the time on over a 11 mbps connection and its fine
[08:00] <astro76> dwxreaper, tightvnc hasn't been developed in years
[08:01] <dwxreaper> ok vnc4 is the client?
[08:01] <hmhowie> eomer: yeha, okay :)
[08:01] <Reaby> ach. found bug and subscribed to it.
[08:01] <dwxreaper> jordan: i want to use xwindows, don't i need a special client (exceed) from windows?
[08:01] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, And has advantages like being able to play 3D games with the rendering being done on the client PC
[08:01] <Kagar> anyone have a fix for the mod to where you can change your desktop to the matrix screensaver?
[08:02] <Kagar> I've tried a few remedies, but they don't seem to work.
[08:02] <dwxreaper> i understand the concept of -X tunneling the traffic, but how would my client understand the traffic??
[08:02] <astro76> dwxreaper, dwxreaper http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi
[08:02] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, I have no idea what exeed is but there are Free X servers available for windows, I think Cygwin has one
[08:02] <dwxreaper> don't i need a client, what client do you use for ssh -X on a windows machine
[08:02] <ferronica> i have an Email account  with my ISP, help me fill in evolution mail
[08:02] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, ssh -X through cygwin :)
[08:03] <DerangedDingo> Kagar: I haven't heard of the patch, it sounds funny... but, wouldn't a dpkg --reconfigure <affected files> or downgrading the patched packages work?
[08:03] <astro76> dwxreaper, sorry, http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/download.html
[08:03] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, I think there is a way to do it with an add on to putty also
[08:03] <astro76> you'd have to be running some X server

[08:06] <eomer> astro76: thanks
[08:06] <DerangedDingo> Kagar: so it wasn't a patch, it was just some little trickery with nautilus.. so.. what got messed up?
[08:07] <Kagar> DerangedDingo when trying to use gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop true to fix it, it doesn't work, and now my icons and desktop functions don't work.
[08:08] <Jordan_U> dwxreaper, http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/
[08:08] <GreyWolfe> Can anyone suggest how I can restore my MBR, I was not given the Windows CDs when I purchased the computer, but I do have a repair partition which I can't boot because the MBR is messed up.
[08:08] <Kagar> and I tried dpkg-reconfigure /apps/nautilus but that didn't work.
[08:09] <astro76> dwxreaper, we did that scenario at work too, the cygwin xserver performed poorly and we ended up using a commercial windows xserver
[08:09] <john__> hey there greywolf. im in the same boat
[08:09] <DerangedDingo> Kagar: i'd try to restart X, make sure it didn't run at login, and then fool with gconf-editor if it gets bad. did you leave off "&& nautilus" at the end of the 'fixing' command?
[08:10] <GreyWolfe> Or, if no one can help me with that, can someone at least suggest a way to get to a command prompt before GRUB starts, because it is not working either.
[08:10] <john__> you can use anyones window disk but you do need one to repair your mbr
[08:10] <Kagar> DerangedDingo - I had tried those already.
[08:11] <GreyWolfe> john__: I know it is possible to repair without an actual Windows CD, there are Live CDs that can repair it. But as I am running Ubuntu off the Live CD right now, I can't burn the Boot repair CDs
[08:11] <DerangedDingo> Kagar: starting nautilus with no arguments does nothing?
[08:11] <Kagar> DerangedDingo - hmm, it works now.
[08:11] <astro76> john__, GreyWolfe, you can use Super Grub Disk to restore windows mbr... http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[08:11] <Evanlec_> what is the packages i need in order to compile source?
[08:11] <Jordan_U> GreyWolfe, What kind of command prompt do you hope to get before running the bootloader?
[08:11] <DerangedDingo> Kagar: yay
[08:11] <luna_ce>  p g
[08:11] <Jordan_U> !source | Evanlec_
[08:11] <Kagar> DerangedDingo - Thanks, I probably forgot to change false to true again in previous attempts from using recall in terminal
[08:11] <ubotu> Evanlec_: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[08:11] <GreyWolfe> Jordan_U: I don't get one, I am asking if anyone can tell me how to get a Windows Command Prompt
[08:12] <mossby> what file in Ubuntu/Linux controls what programs are launched at boot?
[08:12] <Jordan_U> !build | Evanlec_
[08:12] <ubotu> Evanlec_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[08:12] <john__> thanks astro
[08:12] <astro76> Evanlec_, build-essential
[08:12] <GreyWolfe> astro76: I have SGD, but I can't burn myself a Boot CD with it, as I am running Ubuntu off of the Live CD right now
[08:12] <Evanlec_> k
[08:12] <Evanlec_> apt-get install build-essential?
[08:12] <john__> does supergrub install into memory or does it become another headache like grub
[08:12] <GreyWolfe> john__: It is a Live Boot CD
[08:13] <samri> good morning/evening all
[08:13] <DerangedDingo> mossby: there's a few. for your profile, or 'session', there's ~/.gnome2/session
[08:13] <john__> my prayers are answered
[08:13] <Jordan_U> Evanlec_, Yes, what are you trying to compile? Chances are it's available as a package already
[08:13] <samri> I have a question about ntfs and read/write permissions. can someone help me?
[08:13] <Argumentum_in_Ab> ce_suka_mcr_sp_jg_suka?
[08:13] <Jordan_U> !ask | samri
[08:13] <ubotu> samri: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:14] <DerangedDingo> mossby: which can be controlled via GUI with System > Preferences > Sessions
[08:14] <Evanlec_> Jordan_U, airsnort ;p
[08:14] <john__> i have ubuntu running on a 300 gig external usb drive but grub installed onto main internal one aswell
[08:14] <samri> k. Right now I'm running a dual boot between winxp and ubuntu however my shared folder is NTFS....
[08:14] <Jordan_U> Evanlec_, Available in the default repositories
[08:14] <Evanlec_> no kidding
[08:14] <Evanlec_> lol
[08:14] <GreyWolfe> john__: GRUB installs to the Boot Sector, which would be the first partition on the first HD. I have the same setup as you do.
[08:15] <B-rabbit> sorry
[08:15] <samri> NTFS-3g actually... now I'm trying to share my Thunderbird profile and I don't think I have the correct permissions to do so
[08:15] <samri> I've been reading a bunch of docs online and now I get a "profile in use" error from thunderbird
[08:15] <john__> i didnt want to make things worse greywolf so i have just left it for now
[08:15] <jose> Hola
[08:16] <john__> i wanted the boot option from the bios preferably
[08:16] <samri> so it sees the winxp-created profile but refuses to load it
[08:16] <Jordan_U> samri, If you can write to the partition from your user than so can thunderbird
[08:16] <john__> i wish i had leant about linux years ago
[08:16] <ironfroggy> How can i invoke adduser without any prompts?
[08:16] <samri> thats what i thought
[08:17] <ironfroggy> i added --disabled-password but its still looking for a fullname and things
[08:17] <john__> i do rather detest microsoft
[08:17] <john__> but hey better late than never
[08:17] <GreyWolfe> Heh. I had everything running beautifully the other day. Then things just decided not to work. First I couldn't Boot into Windows, or my Recovery Partition, then Ubuntu decided not to want to boot, so I decided to reinstall Ubuntu. Now I get GRUB error 18 at Stage 1.5, and can only boot from the Live CD
[08:17] <Jordan_U> samri, There are no folder / file specific preferences since NTFS does not support UNIX preferences, so it's one set of permissions for anything on the partition
[08:18] <ferronica> can any one help me creating account with evolution ?
[08:18] <mindrape> GreyWolfe - sounds like an enchanting fairy tail involving a wicked witch and bunk installation media
[08:18] <mindrape> s/tail/tale
[08:18] <samri> so its open rw permission for all, correct?
[08:18] <GreyWolfe> mindrape: I checked the Ubuntu  Install CD and the built in thing to check if it is corrupt said it is just fine.
[08:18] <Bamnana> I have installed Emerald and Beryl via Synaptic. So Emerald is running but I can't make use of the themes. I also noticed that in Beryl Manager==>Select Window Manager Metacity is checked and I switch to Beryl and it turns back to Metacity automatically. Please can anyone explain me what's going on with Emerald, How can make use of themes?
[08:19] <john__> hope you backed up all your important stuff greywolf
[08:19] <astro76> samri, assuming you set it up correctly, test it by trying to create a file
[08:19] <GreyWolfe> Godo thing I really didn't have anything irreplacable.
[08:19] <blockcipher> I upgraded to feisty when it was in beta...hurd 5 was it called?  Now with gusty is it close the same?  Or is it pretty far off?  Cause  I might upgraded like I did and get into the beta, but not way to early.
[08:19] <Bamnana> It seems I can't get answers from the channels you directed me
[08:20] <rob> blockcipher, its still a bit off yet
[08:20] <samri> astro, yeah, I've pulled that off okay. I had thunderbird create a blank profile in the same folder as the profile I'd like to share with no problems
[08:20] <Jordan_U> GreyWolfe, You propably need to update your BIOS or make a separate /boot as the first partition
[08:20] <mon^rch> Bamnana: do you have opengl video drivers?
[08:20] <blockcipher> Thanks rob, I might wait a bit then.
[08:21] <Jordan_U> Greyhound-, Or use lilo.
[08:21] <antler> GreyWolfe: reinstalling grub is not an option for you
[08:21] <rob> blockcipher, in that is is in beta, but there are plenty of bugs and the release is a bit off yet
[08:21] <john> ssss
[08:21] <blockcipher> rob, have you gone to it yet?
[08:21] <rob> err it is in beta
[08:21] <GreyWolfe> antler: Can you offer a suggestion of what IS an option?
[08:21] <astronaught> How can I install the latest nvidia drivers - I currently use the restricted manager.
[08:21] <Bamnana> mon^rch: I think so, How can I be sure with this?
[08:21] <antler> GreyWolfe: reinstall grub
[08:22] <GreyWolfe> antler: That was less than helpful
[08:22] <rob> blockcipher, all my non-business pcs are running it (but not without problems)
[08:22] <zoidberg_> hey guys...i do not have an ethernet internet connection in my room....so i'm using my laptop for internet which picks up the wifi....can i connect the laptop to my pc via ethernet ports to use the wifi connection the laptop is catching for the pc?
[08:22] <Bamnana> mon^rch: I recently installed and Direct3d Drives, I have ATI RADEON 9550
[08:22] <GreyWolfe> Jordan_U: How do I go about installing those?
[08:23] <mon^rch> Bamnana: System-> Administration-> Restricted Drivers Manager
[08:23] <Jordan_U> astronaught, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[08:23] <blockcipher> rob, I see...i have a home desktop/ 700m...upgrading early to feisty fixed alot of issues I was having but I can't see it doing any good upgrading right now since its running so well but I thought I would find out before I just assumed that.

[08:23] <blockcipher> *700m
[08:24] <ironfroggy> im trying to script some user setups and im getting this from adduser: Unknown option: system
[08:24] <ironfroggy> even tho i know the --system option works, i tried it
[08:24] <Bamnana> mon^rch: Ati accelerated graphics drivers is enabled and in use
[08:24] <GreyWolfe> Jordan_U: May I PM you?
[08:24] <rob> blockcipher, well officially I should tell you to wait in here at least, if you do choose to upgrade you get to keep both pieces
[08:25] <blockcipher> :D
[08:25] <ironfroggy> i can even take the line directly out of the script and run it and it works fine
[08:25] <Jordan_U> GreyWolfe, I prefer to stay in the channel, more eyes and whatnot :)
[08:25] <Madnez> anyone knows how to enable programs in ubuntu to recognize networked drives?
[08:25] <mon^rch> Bamnana: then beryl and emerald should be working. I use NVIDIA drivers so I cannot help you the way you need
[08:25] <Jordan_U> GreyWolfe, If it is too busy for you join #ubuntu-classroom
[08:26] <GreyWolfe> Ok Jordan_U, thanks
[08:26] <Madnez> and anyone knows how to mount ISO?
[08:26] <astro76> !iso | Madnez
[08:26] <ubotu> Madnez: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[08:26] <Bamnana> mon^rch: it seems kinda complicated, thanx anyway
[08:26] <Madnez> uhh
[08:26] <Jordan_U> Madnez, Networked drives being shared from a windows box?
[08:26] <Madnez> its on my networked drive
[08:26] <mindrape> Madnez - ever consider googling?
[08:26] <mindrape> I mean honestly.
[08:26] <Madnez> yeah but not sure what to search for. i'd have a long list to read up
[08:27] <mon^rch> Bamnana: np. sorry you cant get beryl working
[08:27] <mindrape> I just googled for mount iso linux... first page has your answer... clear as day.
[08:27] <Madnez> does it read networked drives?
[08:27] <blockcipher> rob, i might load up virtualbox and load the beta of gusty..think that would give me an 'idea'?
[08:27] <rob> blockcipher, yeah maybe
[08:27] <blockcipher> cool, its worth a shot :D
[08:27] <blockcipher> thx
[08:27] <samri> whoo hoo! I got it to work! NTFS shared thunderbird mail between winxp and ubuntu!
[08:27] <john__> astronaugt
[08:27] <Madnez> its not the mounter i'm worried about, its recognizing the networked drive
[08:27] <john__> why dont you google the word envy
[08:27] <mindrape> Madnez - you mean NFS or Samba Shares or what?
[08:28] <Madnez> NTFS and fat32
[08:28] <ironfroggy> : not foundh: 2:
[08:28] <astro76> !envy
[08:28] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[08:28] <ironfroggy> what would that mean from my shell script?
[08:28] <john__> its a self installation of ati and nvidia cards
[08:28] <Madnez> it has no probs with fat and ntfs
[08:28] <Madnez> its just that the programs themselves cannot 'see' the network and keep checking my drives
[08:28] <mindrape> Madnez - where do you mount them to?
[08:29] <mindrape>  /mnt/somedrive?
[08:29] <Madnez> the files are on another computer which has been networked
[08:29] <Jordan_U> Madnez, The format of the partition does not matter if it is being shared over the network
[08:29] <Madnez> and yes the network is windows but file transfer and reading are ok
[08:29] <Madnez> yeah but the linux progs cant see the network
[08:29] <mindrape> ...Madnez - nobody cares about the filesystem type... how are you connecting to them?  Are they Windows shares?
[08:29] <mindrape> !samba | madnez
[08:29] <ubotu> madnez: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:29] <Madnez> yeah
[08:30] <Jordan_U> Madnez, Have you checked Places -> Network ?
[08:30] <Madnez> as i said, network is ok
[08:30] <Madnez> its the part on the progs
[08:30] <Madnez> keb can mount but doesnt see the network
[08:30] <Madnez> even linux VLC cant see any of my networked drives only media player
[08:31] <GIn> how do you input special letters such as "a" but iwth a little  "\" on it?
[08:31] <Madnez> so yeah, i'm kinda stuck...
[08:31] <mindrape> !samba > Madnez
[08:32] <Madnez> does samba allows progs to recognize the network?
[08:32] <mindrape> Yes...
[08:32] <zoidberg_> can anyone help me
[08:32] <zoidberg_> hey guys...i do not have an ethernet internet connection in my room....so i'm using my laptop for internet which picks up the wifi....can i connect the laptop to my pc via ethernet ports to use the wifi connection the laptop is catching for the pc?
[08:32] <Madnez> thanks... hope this will do the trick. i have already a ton of apps...
[08:33] <ironfroggy> does anyone have an idea why adduser would complain that --system isn't a valid option?
[08:33] <Madnez> yeah
[08:33] <mindrape> zoidberg_ - with a crossover cable... its probably easier to just get a wireless PCI card for the pc in your room though
[08:33] <Madnez> yup as mind said
[08:33] <Madnez> need cross
[08:33] <Madnez> problem is that com 1 will get all bandwith
[08:33] <Madnez> 2nd com in line will get less and next even less!
[08:34] <Madnez> mindrape, he wants to link his lap and pc with his laptop wifi
[08:34] <mindrape> Madnez - very possible... takes a lil bit of bridging magic but its easy enough.
[08:35] <drgeb> what software do I use to burn tow a CD-RW if I have an iso image ?? Thanks!
[08:35] <Madnez> as long as you dont mind having fast internet on laptop and slow on pc, it will work
[08:35] <mindrape> drgeb - I prefer k3b.
[08:35] <zolder> hi people! has anyone installed fire-gl on ati xpress 1100?
[08:35] <Madnez> hahaha mindrape, tried that connnection. sucked specially when the 1st com went on bandwidth spree
[08:35] <drgeb> Thanks mindrape I am checking it out
[08:36] <zoidberg_> mindrape, whats a crossover cable....and i'm kinda cheap dont have money for a pc wireless card....but cant i just connect the pc to the laptop with an ehternet cable and make it work like that somehow?
[08:36] <Madnez> ask your pc vendor
[08:36] <Madnez> cross is cheap
[08:36] <Madnez> about same as straight
[08:36] <mindrape> zoidberg - its just an ethernet cable that is wired differently...
[08:36] <qmyro> hi all i am trying to compile gnash 0.8.1 from source but i keep getting builderrors
[08:36] <zolder> ??help
[08:36] <zolder> ??help
[08:36] <zolder> hm
[08:37] <ferronica> Error while performing operation.MAIL FROM command failed: Unknown
[08:37] <astro76> zoidberg_, you need a crossover cable or a switch, you can google for info on modifying a straight cable even
[08:37] <Madnez> zoid, it will work but you need to setup your networking properly
[08:37] <mindrape> zoidberg - when you crimp an ethernet cable you can setup the wires by color to an A or B standard... http://yoda.uvi.edu/InfoTech/rj45.htm
[08:37] <paotzu> you can turn a straight cable into crossover with scissors, try it
[08:37] <z9999> Stiil looking for help in recovering after applying updates yesterday. Anyone know how?
[08:37] <Madnez> lolz... dont think he's gonna do all that
[08:37] <Madnez> he could try but... troublesome
[08:37] <mindrape> zoidberg - I'd recommend you go buy a crossover cable... if you dont have crimpers ($40ish) you will be screwed  :)
[08:38] <Madnez> yup, cross are cheap just get them
[08:38] <paotzu> just have to cut the wires like a flat top
[08:38] <Madnez> straight only for coms to modems/routers
[08:38] <mindrape> just get a wireless PCI card.. they are like $20 for a generic one
[08:38] <Evanlec_> yea, but get a linksys one ;p
[08:38] <qmyro> hi all i am trying to compile gnash 0.8.1 from source but i keep getting builderrors could someone please point me in the right direction
[08:38] <Madnez> lolz
[08:38] <Evanlec_> if u want easy ubuntu support
[08:39] <h1st0> qmyro: you may want to ask the gnash people.
[08:39] <qmyro> i see
[08:39] <Madnez> ok i'm off for a while, afk
[08:39] <Jordan_U> gmyro Have you run "sudo apt-get build-dep gnash" ?
[08:39] <Jordan_U> qmyro, ^^
[08:39] <qmyro> no not yet thanks for the info
[08:39] <Evanlec_> anyone know how to remove window decoration from a given window?
[08:39] <Evanlec_> i.e. the title bar etc.
[08:39] <Jordan_U> qmyro, np, for more info...
[08:40] <Jordan_U> !compile | qmyro

[08:40] <Evanlec_> modal?
[08:40] <qmyro> thanks guys bye
[08:40] <Evanlec_> its for a game, i want it to run in windowed mode, but dont want the title bar n stuff, so i can get essentially fullscreen
[08:40] <mindrape> yes... modal... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window

[08:42] <zolder> can't find driver for it)
[08:42] <emonkey3> what software can i use to turn an AVI into a DVD
[08:42] <CyberSlug> Is there any utility for Linux that can meter internet activity (and record the amount downloaded over the course of any arbitrary interval) that can run in the userspace... similar to netmeter (which is available for WIndows)?
[08:42] <zolder> and no support for fglrx

[08:42] <Le^stat> is it a good idea to use Automatix 2?
[08:42] <Jordan_U> Evanlec_, You can just make the window size the size of your screen and move it so the decorations are outside the screen with alt + mouse drag
[08:42] <emonkey3> anyone
[08:42] <Jordan_U> !automatix | Le^stat
[08:42] <ubotu> Le^stat: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.

[08:43] <Wann> is automatix2 site down?

[08:43] <Evanlec_> Jordan_U, right well thats kinda wat i do, except the gnome panel gets in my way
[08:43] <emonkey3> i really need to re-encode an avi into dvd
[08:43] <h1st0> emonkey3: I think avidemux does that doens't it?
[08:43] <Jordan_U> Wann, See the message from Ubotu above, don't use Automatix
[08:43] <xukun> If I get the message install Java Runtime Enviroment what can I do about that?
[08:43] <Jordan_U> Evanlec_, You can hide the gnome panel
[08:43] <drgeb> mindrape if I have installed k3b now I am at the main screen "Burn CD Image iso cue toc" is there a special setting to allow me to be able to burn a new iso later all over again on the CDRW ?
[08:44] <drgeb> or I can erase anything that was previously burned on the CD-RW ? Thanks!!!
[08:44] <zoidberg_> is there a way to build your own wireless pc card/
[08:44] <Evanlec_> Jordan_U, true...but there's no easier solution? fullscreen is a problem with this game because it spans across my two monitors...
[08:44] <zoidberg_> ?
[08:44] <Evanlec_> build your own? lol
[08:44] <astro76> drgeb, you can erase it no matter what you do

[08:48] <Evanlec_> lol...
[08:48] <CyberSlug> h1st0, I typed in download meter....

Was worried as I saw a message that some were not authenticated, so I asked here and was told I should have no problems allowing them, which I did and now the wireless has ceased to work. It took over 6 months to get it working and I have no idea how to do it again.

[08:52] <tropcky> hi all
[08:53] <tropcky> hi ppl
[08:53] <shrimants> hi there
[08:53] <shrimants> is anyone here?
[08:53] <tropcky> sup
[08:53] <h1st0> z9999: worst case scenario all the old packages should still be in /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:53] <shrimants> hey, allright so heres whats up
[08:53] <h1st0> z9999: but we should be able to get your wirelss working no problem.
[08:54] <shrimants> i installed ubuntu, it came with generic kernel 2.something.15
[08:54] <tropcky> non just lookinf for some thing 2 lose the time
[08:54] <shrimants> then it did an update
[08:54] <GIn> how do you input charters like these ""?
[08:54] <astro76> !enter | shrimants
[08:54] <ubotu> shrimants: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:54] <shrimants> and changed the kernel to .16
[08:54] <shrimants> oh sorry
[08:54] <h1st0> shrimants: why would you ask if there is anyone here?  There are only 1100ppl in here.
[08:54] <tropcky> what about u ?
[08:54] <shrimants> its more like i was wondering who is awake or not
[08:54] <astro76> shrimants, makes it much easier to read ;)
[08:54] <tropcky> lol
[08:54] <h1st0> z9999: type in lspci to see whitch card you ahve.
[08:54] <emonkey3> i've been telling this fool at work, hook me up with catwoman robin
[08:55] <z9999> hlst0: It 's a Broadcom 4311, in a Compaq notebook, using Ubuntu 6.06
[08:55] <emonkey3> before he goes to work as my wingman he wants a movie so....
[08:55] <tropcky> u know its 9:00 am here and i cany sleep
[08:55] <tropcky> oooooooooooooof sucks
[08:55] <tropcky> cant *
[08:55] <h1st0> z9999: ahh 6.06 hrm...  try lsmod | grep bcm
[08:55] <shrimants> I installed ubuntu with generic kernel 2.something.15. it did the auto update, but instead of restarting, i just installed the nvidia drivers i got off of nvidia's website. so now i have a .15 kernel with working drivers and a .16 kernel with no working graphics drivers. how do i get it so that i have just a working .16 kernel?
[08:55] <h1st0> z9999: see if the broadcom module is loaded.  Or you maybe using ndiswrapper.
[08:56] <h1st0> z9999: do you remember how you got it working before did you have to use ndiswrapper?
[08:56] <z9999> hlst0: nothing returned
[08:56] <default> anyone here own a nokia 770
[08:56] <h1st0> shrimants: you have to reinstall the nvidia drivers in the .16 kernel
[08:56] <emonkey3> and get this, my wingman, he wants the movie, One Night In Paris
[08:56] <h1st0> shrimants: it has to build a module for every kernel
[08:56] <shrimants> and then how do i "get rid of" the .15 kernel
[08:56] <h1st0> z9999: lsmod | grep ndis
[08:57] <emonkey3> i don't know if he will be a good wingman
[08:57] <emonkey3> with a mind like that
[08:57] <giox> z9999 just type sudo ndiswrapper -l and that should tell you if is any drivers install
[08:57] <z9999> hlst0: It took months and help from over a dozen persons, and we used ndiswrapper
[08:57] <astro76> shrimants, you can uninstall it in synaptic
[08:57] <h1st0> z9999: well did they updates install a new kernel?
[08:58] <shrimants> so i would uname -r to see what kernels i have installed and then do sudo apt-get remove _______ for whatever kernel i dont want?
[08:58] <h1st0> z9999: if thats the case the ndiswrapper module needs to be rebuilt.
[08:58] <astro76> shrimants, no
[08:58] <giox> z9999 just type sudo ndiswrapper -l and that should tell you if is any drivers instal
[08:58] <h1st0> shrimants: more like dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[08:58] <av3ng3r> okay, I feel kinda silly... I just setup a new computer running a RAID5 with 3 drives, BIOS knows it's a raid and "Intel Matrix Manager" says the 3 drives are all configured as part of the raid, but when I use the installer to begin partitioning the raid it's showing me sda sdb and sdc (all at 0,0,0). Is there something I'm doing wrong?
[08:59] <z9999> hlst0: lsmod | grep ndis returns nothing
[08:59] <astro76> shrimants, or just search for linux in synaptic and remove everything with -15
[08:59] <h1st0> z9999: do what giox is saying sudo ndiswrapper -l
[08:59] <shrimants> ah ok
[08:59] <giox> yes
[08:59] <h1st0> z9999: and do you know if the updates installed a new kernel?
[08:59] <shrimants> yeah, i've been trying to switch to ubuntu for a while now, just my lack of unix/bash knowledge has been a huge hindrance
[08:59] <giox> if ndiswrapper still running it will tell you what is install
[08:59] <Evanlec_> av3ng3r, take a look at this, in particular the first two topics https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[09:00] <h1st0> giox: it probably isn't though i'm assuming his kernel upgraded and he doesn't have a ndiswrapper module for the kernel he's running now.
[09:00] <shrimants> allright then, im off to try it
[09:00] <shrimants> wish me luck
[09:00] <shrimants> /exit
[09:00] <av3ng3r> XD, thanks... for future reference how did you come across it? i looked through the faq and didn't see much mentioning partitions
[09:00] <shrimants> whoops
[09:00] <emonkey3> hi
[09:00] <giox> ok he can type uname -a to see what kernel is using
[09:00] <emonkey3> has anyone seen my dad?
[09:00] <emonkey3> watch brokeback mountian!
[09:01] <lnx_> how i can make grun to be graphical ( like suse ) ?
[09:01] <astro76> !offtopic | emonkey3

[09:01] <h1st0> z9999: dpkg -l | grep linux-image     how many different kernels does it list?
[09:01] <emonkey3> understood
[09:01] <Evanlec_> av3ng3r, i was trying to get ubuntu installed on a raid0 configuration using intel raid
[09:01] <Evanlec_> eventually gave up lol
[09:01] <h1st0> lnx_: what is grun just a run dialog like alt+f2
[09:02] <lnx_> h1st0 , ooooops i mean GRUB LOADE
[09:02] <lnx_> LOADER
[09:02] <av3ng3r> man, didn't anyone learn their lessons with winmodems? now they're doing it with raids >.>
[09:02] <z9999> hlst0 & giox: sudo ndiswrapper ...  returns

[09:02] <z9999>                  device (14e4:4311) present
[09:02] <z9999> Don't know what all the updates pertained to as there were 101

[09:03] <Evanlec_> av3ng3r, lol, yep...i know what ya mean, software raid that looks like hardware raid ;p
[09:03] <lnx_> h1st0 , thanks
[09:03] <Terrasque> Evanlec_: also known as fakeraid
[09:04] <z9999> hlst0: There are 4 images listed
[09:04] <h1st0> z9999: okay well the ndiswrapper module isn't loaded
[09:05] <Evanlec_> Terrasque, ya ;p
[09:06] <h1st0> z9999: if you reboot and hit ESC at the grub menu you can select the kernel you were using before and wireless will work.  To get it working in your current kernel you have to rebuild the module.
[09:06] <progek> I finally got my DVDs to work by downgrading libdvdcss2    now the update manager keeps bugging me to upgrade that package. I've already tested upgrading and it kills my dvd playback. How can I remove that update from the update manager?
[09:06] <giox> z9999 now type sudo ndiswrapper -m   //// then type sudo iwlist scan /// to see if your card is picking anything wireless.
[09:06] <z9999> hlst0: Is it possible to get the wireless to work easily? It's not my computer, and my friend returns in about a week. I use windows unhappily myself.
[09:07] <giox> sorry about the connection but im in iraq a lil bored and i thought i might help a lil over here
[09:08] <h1st0> z9999:You mean with out rebooting?
[09:08] <z9999> giox: Says Interface doesn't support scanning
[09:08] <h1st0> z9999: sudo iwlist scan
[09:08] <h1st0> giox: he doesn't have the ndiswrapper module though if lsmod | grep ndis returned nothing
[09:09] <z9999> hlst0: Reboots are no problem, just don't wish to have to do a clean install like on windows.
[09:09] <h1st0> z9999: no you won't have to do that.  If you want to get it working with out fixing it .  Just reboot and select an older kernel fromt he grub boot menu.
[09:09] <h1st0> z9999: Like I mentioned above.
[09:09] <z9999> giox: Hope you're safe there in Iraq.
[09:09] <giox> z9999 you wont have too is just ndiswrapper needs to be reinstall
[09:10] <nurettin> hello

[09:10] <nurettin> i am using 7.10 guty
[09:11] <nurettin> pardon gutsy
[09:11] <z9999> giox: what steps to reinstall ndiswrapper?
[09:11] <ubuntu-jason> sry im using ubuntu-ultimate (built on edgy)
[09:11] <Jordan_U> nurettin, #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy
[09:11] <nurettin> and this morning i installed gnome new versino
[09:11] <nurettin> okay excusme
[09:11] <Jordan_U> ubuntu-jason, Stay away from Ubuntu "ultimate" in the future
[09:11] <giox> z9999 What is the kernel you are running at this moment if you dont know type uname -a in terminal
[09:12] <ubuntu-jason> jordan, y is that?
[09:12] <av3ng3r> ok so it's not looking good... i've got 3 drives, a fake raid5, and (from the looks of the link) no raid5 support in dmraid in feisty... i'd preferably like something like that, even if it's just softraid, anyone know the best way to do that?
[09:12] <h1st0> z9999: try sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[09:12] <z9999> giox: Linux compaq 2.6.15-29-386
[09:12] <Black_Cat> hello. i've successfully installed ies4linux, it works fine, but i'm having fonts-related problems in "Internet Options" dialog and similar situations. the language i'm using is russian, fonts required are certainly installed. maybe i just need to set proper codepages? please tell me where can this be done?
[09:12] <ptk> hey guys, I've got a mail question that isn't really specific to Ubuntu (though I run ubuntu on the box in question) should I ask here or elsewhere?
[09:13] <giox> h1st0 if he has the new kernel i recoment to install the new ver of ndiswrapper thats what i have to do on mine
[09:13] <h1st0> giox: yeah you can get him going then I haven't used ndiswrapper in ages.
[09:14] <giox> ok
[09:14] <h1st0> giox: can't he just recreate the module?
[09:14] <h1st0> giox: sudo ndiswrapper -m
[09:14] <z9999> giox: We had to install a newer ndiswrapper to get it to work the first time, but don't know which version it is.
[09:15] <h1st0> z9999: ndiswrapper -v
[09:15] <h1st0> will show you the version
[09:15] <giox> h1st0 the problem is the old version of ndiswrapper for some reason wont work with that kernel it might work on the old one
[09:16] <AzMoo[w] > Hey, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a server with two hardware mirrored scsi drives, but when I get to the hard-drive selection it shows two drives. That's not right, is it?
[09:16] <giox> h1st0 thats why when the computer got updated the ndiswrapper stop and no matter if you type sudo modprobe ndiswrapper it wont work
[09:16] <h1st0> giox: yeah but the module isn't there untill you add it with sudo ndiswrapper -m
[09:16] <h1st0> giox: then you can modprobe ndiswrapper.
[09:17] <h1st0> giox: idk like I say I haven't used it in a while i'll go away
[09:17] <z9999> utils ver 1.0    driver ver 1.8    vermagic: 2.6.15-29-386 prempt 486 gcc-4.0
[09:17] <av3ng3r> AzMoo[w] : I just asked a similar question. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto was the FAQ page I was linked to. You should be good with RAID-1, but unfortunately I'm going for RAID-5 which doesn't seem to be supported :(
[09:17] <z9999> giox: If you're leaving, thanks and take care where you are.
[09:18] <giox> z9999 try this sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
[09:18] <h1st0> z9999: no I was saying i'm leaving out of it.  He will be able to help you more than me.
[09:18] <s3nz0r> hy ppl
[09:18] <h1st0> giox: he already has the driver present he did a ndiswrapper -l before.  Just fyi before I go.
[09:18] <s3nz0r> can help me whi aa\ problem :D
[09:18] <AzMoo[w] > av3ng3r: i see. Thanks.
[09:19] <av3ng3r> AzMoo[w] : not a problem, good luck :)
[09:19] <s3nz0r> i have instalet\d ubunt 7.04 and i have bad connection to internet can some one tell me whi :(((
[09:19] <h1st0> !ask | s3nz0r
[09:19] <ubotu> s3nz0r: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:19] <giox> z9999 then type sudo ndiswrapper -l
[09:19] <giox> You should see a message that says driver present, hardware detected
[09:19] <z9999> giox: got mixed up who's helping, says bcmwl5 is already installed
[09:20] <av3ng3r> anyways, thanks guys. going to head to bed for now :)
[09:20] <giox> z9999 ok now type sudo ndiswrapper -m
[09:20] <h1st0> s3nz0r: IS this a fresh install or did you install other applications?
[09:21] <s3nz0r> izS FRESH
[09:21] <s3nz0r> is fresh
[09:21] <winbond> whats the command to check if an app has all the dependencies installed?
[09:21] <h1st0> s3nz0r: is english your native language?
[09:21] <z9999> giox: ndiswrapper -m says module configuration already contains alias directive
[09:21] <s3nz0r> no
[09:21] <s3nz0r> i'm from romania :D
[09:21] <h1st0> winbond: it has to have the dependencies.
[09:21] <h1st0> winbond: unless you didn't install from the repos.
[09:21] <s3nz0r> me english sucks :D
[09:22] <s3nz0r> can some one tell me whi i have bad connection to internet
[09:22] <winbond> h1st0, i know,  but still , i wanna know how to check
[09:23] <h1st0> winbond: apt-cache showpkg <packagename> will show you its dependencies
[09:23] <s3nz0r> who can tell me whi i have bad connection on internet
[09:23] <s3nz0r> i copu files whit 30-40 kb
[09:23] <s3nz0r> no more then theat
[09:23] <h1st0> s3nz0r: What language do they speak in romanian?
[09:23] <s3nz0r> romanian language :))
[09:23] <giox> z9999 ok do this  1. Uninstall the current driver. Use ''ndiswrapper -l'' to get the name of the loaded driver,
[09:23] <giox>     then ''ndiswrapper -e NAME'' to remove the currently installed driver.
[09:23] <giox>  2. Reinstall the driver with the command ''ndiswrapper -i DRIVER.inf'' using your windows driver.
[09:23] <giox>  3. You should now be able to ''modprobe ndiswrapper'' successfully.
[09:24] <winbond> h1st0, ok , but i want to know if an app i installed has all the dependencies,
[09:24] <s3nz0r> h1st0 answer to pm :D
[09:24] <winbond> h1st0, (not from repos)
[09:25] <h1st0> winbond: okay an app you are going to build?  Then you would type in sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename>
[09:25] <h1st0> winbond: that will install the build dependencies so you can build it from source.
[09:26] <ptk> I'm trying to get my mail using fetchmail -> sort it through procmail (+SpamAssassin) and forward the sorted mail to different accounts (via smtp) is this possible?

[09:37] <z9999> Is it possible to return the system to what it was before applying the 101 updates and have it work as before?
[09:37] <z9999> That might allow me to pick and choose updates to see what it is that breaks the wireless, and allow me to access the internet with the notebook.
[09:37] <ajay> how change the boot configurations in kubuntu?

[09:41] <giox> z9999: you really want to use the new kernel
[09:41] <wlnet> I am using cupsys. it seems it does not support the printing of html file. anyway to put it right?
[09:42] <Jordan_U> wlnet, Why / how do you want to print to an html file?
[09:42] <f3trio3d2x> hi , has anybody ever used RKWARD in this channel ?
[09:43] <giox> z9999: you still there?
[09:43] <wlnet> Jordan_U: no, I want to print out an html file.
[09:44] <z9999> giox: The only problem is if I need to download some new files, I have no easy way to move them from the Windows system to the Ubuntu system other than burning a CD.
[09:44] <Jordan_U> wlnet, I understand, html is not a digital paper format, so "printing" to and html file seems odd to me
[09:45] <giox> z9999: are you doing dual boot
[09:45] <nanonyme> scary
[09:46] <tropcky> hi all
[09:46] <tropcky> hellooooooooooooooooooooo
[09:47] <Jordan_U> !hi | tropcky
[09:47] <ubotu> tropcky: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:47] <wlnet> Jordan_U: I want to print out  an html file on my printer. it that clear enough?
[09:47] <tropcky> wow
[09:47] <tropcky> thankz
[09:47] <giox> helloooooooooooooo
[09:47] <z9999> giox: No, The problem is my friends notebook, and my system is an IBM notebook, running WinXP, that I'm accessing the internet with. We are sharing a wireless router.
[09:47] <tropcky> hellp goix
[09:47] <Jordan_U> wlnet, Oh, I understand now, sorry :)
[09:48] <Jordan_U> wlnet, Why can't you print from a browser?
[09:48] <h1st0> tropcky: help with what?
[09:49] <tropcky> wicj one is better virtual box    or     vmware player  ?
[09:49] <Jordan_U> !better | tropcky
[09:49] <tropcky> yap
[09:49] <tropcky> sorry
[09:49] <z9999> giox: We are in the forest of Northern Thailand a few clicks from Laos accessing the internet over a satellite, researching Orchids.
[09:49] <h1st0> tropcky: Both accomplish the same thing but I prefer virtual box because its open source.
[09:49] <ubotu> tropcky: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[09:49] <giox> z9999 all you need is two files that will be ndiswrapper 1.47 that you can get from http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/
[09:50] <tropcky> thank u so much
[09:50] <h1st0> tropcky: just use virtual box its nice and easy to use.
[09:50] <giox> and the latest drivers for the wireless card
[09:50] <ohsonorrisy> Can anyone help? I think I really messed up GDM
[09:50] <tropcky> i will thanks
[09:50] <root__> hello
[09:50] <tropcky> but hey
[09:50] <ohsonorrisy> Grr.
[09:50] <ompaul> ohsonorrisy, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ( and less of the gurr we are friendly calm down thanks )
[09:50] <tropcky> i got only 512 ram   is that will make it work ?
[09:50] <h1st0> ohsonorrisy: whats wrong with it?
[09:50] <tropcky> or it needs more
[09:50] <tropcky> ?
[09:50] <ohsonorrisy> ompaul: It isn't xserver.
[09:51] <ompaul> ohsonorrisy, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm ( and less of the gurr we are friendly calm down thanks )
[09:51] <giox> z9999: do you remember where are those packges that you use to installed the first time
[09:51] <giox> z9999: if you do you can use them again
[09:51] <ElMoo> Is there any ZENworks-alike solution available specifically for a Ubuntu desktop environment?
[09:52] <xaxxon> how do I boot ubuntu so the graphics work on an nforce 680i system with sli?  I did the install with vga=77(something).. I could at least see the screen, but it was all messed up
[09:52] <tropcky> hlst0: look man
[09:52] <xaxxon> when I do a normal boot, I see the initial screen where it loads the kernel.. then blank
[09:52] <z9999> giox: They should still be on the system, just have to locate them. Not too familiar with the tools and commands used in Linux.
[09:52] <tropcky> i have only 512 ram is that will make it work ?
[09:52] <xaxxon> I can wait a bit and hit ctrl-alt-del and it reboots, so I know it's booting.. I just don't see anything
[09:53] <h1st0> z9999: locate <filename>
[09:53] <redheat> hi everyone
[09:53] <redheat> sorry for budging in like this
[09:53] <giox> z9999: you can type sudo nautilus    that will bring a window with all you folders as root and you will be able to search for them thats more easy than using cli
[09:53] <redheat> just got a quick question
[09:54] <ohsonorrisy> ompaul: dpkg-reconfigure gdm didn't work
[09:54] <macd> h1st0, z9999, you may have run 'sudo updatedb' first to update locates db.
[09:54] <h1st0> xaxxon: What type of video card do you ahve?
[09:54] <h1st0> macd: I know this.
[09:54] <redheat> I have Gnome Art Manager program installed on my system
[09:54] <macd> You didn't tell them ;)
[09:54] <redheat> and I was wondering if someone else is facing the same problem as mine
[09:54] <xaxxon> 2x8800gts
[09:54] <h1st0> macd: because he's using a system thats been installed for ages i'm sure cron has updated his db
[09:54] <macd> redheat, does it lock up often, and crash?
[09:55] <redheat> no
[09:55] <giox> z9999: Then go to the directory that you extracted the ndiswrapper files to and run:
[09:55] <giox> sudo make distclean
[09:55] <giox> sudo make
[09:55] <giox> sudo make install
[09:55] <xaxxon> I didn't try a ctrl-alt-f1 yet...
[09:55] <saxi1> anyone know if Ubuntu 7.10 will ship with the snow-plugin in compiz-fusion?
[09:55] <redheat> just when it comes to the logons, it doesn't allow for installation just download
[09:55] <h1st0> xaxxon: Is this a fresh install?
[09:55] <ohsonorrisy> redheat: What problem are you having with Gnome Art Manager?
[09:55] <ohsonorrisy> Oh, it was doing the same thing to me.
[09:55] <h1st0> xaxxon: when you get to grub menu hit esc and select recovery mode.
[09:55] <redheat>  when it comes to logon screens it only shows the download button, while the install button goes greyed out
[09:55] <xaxxon> yes.. ok
[09:55] <macd> redheat, I dont think that feature has been implemented.
[09:56] <xaxxon> seeing lots of text flying by...
[09:56] <xaxxon> root prompt
[09:56] <ohsonorrisy> Also, I was using gtk-theme-switch and, when I installed a theme, it got all wonky and now when I load GDM the NVIDIA screen pops up but the desktop is just black.
[09:56] <redheat> you mean it only allows for downloads when it comes to logons, but it works perfectly with backgrounds
[09:56] <h1st0> xaxxon: Okay now we need to figure out what drivers you need to fix X
[09:56] <macd> redheat, that is exactly what I am saying
[09:56] <redheat> ok roger that..
[09:56] <xaxxon> I typed startx.. I get vertically tiled screen
[09:56] <redheat> thank you so much for your helpd
[09:56] <xaxxon> 2.05 screens or so :)
[09:56] <redheat> help*
[09:57] <redheat> take care all
[09:57] <redheat> bye
[09:57] <xaxxon> h1st0; what now?  I can do stuff in X if that's easier.. it's just fugly
[09:57] <ohsonorrisy> I tried rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 and it didn't work
[09:57] <h1st0> xaxxon: yeah you need to select the proper driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf You should be able to boot X with vesa drivers.  try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select the vesa driver.
[09:58] <h1st0> xaxxon: X is working now?
[09:58] <xaxxon> I justed turned on the restricted nvida driver
[09:58] <xaxxon> h1st0; not properly
[09:58] <xaxxon> it's vertically tiled
[09:58] <xaxxon> I see the screen twice.. like mirrored.. but on one monitor
[09:58] <h1st0> xaxxon: yeah it doens't hav ea background set if you use start x.
[09:58] <wlnet> when i try to print a html file, nothing comes out. the print job status show "processing".
[09:58] <h1st0> xaxxon: oh thats interesting.
[09:58] <ohsonorrisy> Can anyone help me?
[09:58] <xaxxon> yeah.. I think it's cuz I did the install in "notebook lcd mode".. vga=775 or something
[09:58] <h1st0> xaxxon: well enable the nvidia restricted driver and reboot.  Let it boot normally you should get back in X
[09:58] <xaxxon> anyhoo.. maybe the nvidia driver will work :)
[09:59] <ompaul> saxi1, ask in #ubuntu+1
[09:59] <xaxxon> yeah.. I see nothing while it's booting, though
[09:59] <h1st0> xaxxon: that vga=  line in grub just tells it what resolution to run the terminals in.
[09:59] <xaxxon> not like I did in recovery mode
[09:59] <fgg> is beryl still being developed or has the project shifted to compiz-fusion ?
[09:59] <h1st0> xaxxon: well if you boot to recovery mode and nano /boot/grub/menu.1st you can delete the vga= line
[09:59] <xaxxon> oh... blah still nothing
[10:00] <h1st0> fgg: I believe they shifted their efforts
[10:00] <xaxxon> trying to force text console doesn't work either
[10:00] <ddr4> ohk
[10:00] <xaxxon> reboot to recovery again?
[10:00] <h1st0> fgg: http://www.beryl-project.org/
[10:00] <h1st0> xaxxon: yes
[10:00] <h1st0> xaxxon: when you get a root prompt type in nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:00] <giox> z9999: have you reboot the computer after all the steps we did at the begining
[10:01] <h1st0> xaxxon: then you can delete the vga=775 or whatever from the end of your kernel line
[10:01] <LoneShadow> Hi, I am trying out uswsusp, hibernate works fine, but while restoring, I see "PM: Resume from disk failed." and Xorg takes up 99% cpu, I can only ssh into box
[10:02] <LoneShadow> anyone know how to fix hibernate problems ?
[10:02] <LoneShadow> !suspend
[10:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:02] <xaxxon> it's actulaly not set to anything.. there's no vga= except in a comment
[10:02] <ElMoo> What systems management solution is out there to manage let say +1000 ubuntu desktops...?
[10:03] <xaxxon> is there any way to set it? I think I probably want 1280x800 if that's an option.. (1/4 native resolution)
[10:03] <h1st0> xaxxon: ahh maybe its a problem with splash then.  Get rid of that.
[10:03] <h1st0> xaxxon: you can take out splash and quiet from your main kernel line.
[10:03] <xaxxon> ok
[10:04] <ompaul> ElMoo, lets say if you are doing that with 1k desktops you can afford the consultant to write on the paper the words thin clients so it is all the same from /etc/skel
[10:04] <xaxxon> rebooting
[10:04] <h1st0> xaxxon: wait what comment line is it in #defoptions   ?
[10:04] <ompaul> ahh
[10:04] <h1st0> xaxxon: cuz thats default options  for the first kernel.
[10:04] <xaxxon> too late.. I'll tell you when I get back
[10:04] <giox> z9999: are you still there?
[10:04] <xaxxon> or can I do it from grub prompt?
[10:04] <vancomycin> is there a ubuntu & firefox equivalent to flashgot (extension) and flashget (application)? i've been using them for ages on xp, but haven't found anything that can handle large single one click hosted files - i've heard of down them all... but anything that can highlight a whole selction and queue up downloads?
[10:04] <h1st0> xaxxon: brb going for a smoke.
[10:05] <xaxxon> k
[10:05] <xaxxon> thanks for your help
[10:06] <xaxxon> could no open the device file /dev/nvidia0 filed to initialize the nvidia graphics device pci:1:0:0
[10:06] <xaxxon> yick
[10:07] <redheat> hi again guys
[10:07] <redheat> sorry for bothering you again
[10:07] <z9999> giox: Still here, but after the reboot the system is taking a very long time to boot.
[10:07] <redheat> I just have a problem regarding browsing files this time
[10:08] <redheat> when I open a program like art theme manager, and try to locate files that I downloaded
[10:08] <giox> z9999: let me know what the system does
[10:09] <redheat> it brings up a 'save as' window, and it shows me where the recent files have been downloaded down to..it shows me a folder names tmp, for temporary
[10:09] <redheat> located under another folder called .gnome and this one is located under a folder named .gnome 2 and so forth till i come to the root folder
[10:09] <xaxxon> I ran sudo nvidia-xconfig and it still doesn't work.. same error
[10:10] <redheat> now when I try to open the root folder from my desktop, I don't see these folders at all
[10:10] <redheat> how can I access those folders?
[10:10] <redheat> anyone?
[10:10] <xaxxon> I think my card is at 3:0:0, but it's tryign to find it at 1:0:0.. whatever that means
[10:11] <codename> I need some help trying to get lxdoom running
[10:11] <jan_> morning
[10:11] <codename> I need some help trying to get lxdoom running
[10:11] <redheat> can anyone help me with this problem
[10:11] <h1st0> xaxxon: you can change were its at if you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:11] <jan_> anyone uses ldap auth for his clients ?
[10:11] <codename> I'm not sure how to make it see the WAD file.
[10:11] <redheat> I'm looking for folders that I cannot locate them under the roof folder
[10:11] <h1st0> !sudo | redheat
[10:11] <ubotu> redheat: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:12] <redheat> no I didn't mean that..
[10:12] <wam> Hi, what's the debian "base-config" for ubuntu? I need to setup timezone, locale and so on in console.
[10:12] <codename> I need some help trying to get lxdoom running
[10:12] <redheat> simply put, there are folder called .gnome and .gnome 2 which are located under the root folder
[10:12] <h1st0> redheat: your user isn't able to see the folders in there.
[10:12] <h1st0> redheat: what are you trying to do?
[10:12] <redheat> i'm using an administrator account
[10:12] <redheat> the root account
[10:12] <redheat> just locate these folders under root
[10:12] <h1st0> redheat: hit ctrl+h in nautilus
[10:12] <Doomguy0505> Are there any gui versions of man?
[10:13] <z9999> giox: It came up, and I found the files we used to make the wireless work last time in my friends home directory. We used ndiswrapper 1.42, and have a bcm4311 folder which contains the only drivers we found that would work. We tried many different drivers from many sites, noe of which worked and I can't remember who we got these drivers from.
[10:13] <redheat> ok hold on for second
[10:13] <h1st0> redheat: in the file browser folders with . in front are hidden.
[10:13] <redheat> yay
[10:13] <redheat> yay
[10:13] <redheat> I found them
[10:13] <h1st0> redheat: also you shouldn't really be logged in as root but thats another issue.
[10:13] <redheat> so the folders with .something stand for hidden one
[10:13] <h1st0> redheat: yeap
[10:13] <redheat> I know the security issue
[10:13] <redheat> roger that
[10:14] <h1st0> redheat: its more than a security issue
[10:14] <redheat> but I had to use the root all the time since I have to download many drivers and setup the system
[10:14] <h1st0> redheat: you just enter the root password and do that.
[10:14] <xjkx> once you load your livecd, it does not go to the disk too much right? as most of the info is in memory already
[10:14] <shwouchk> yo
[10:14] <giox> z9999: ok go to that directory on terminal and type this sudo make distclean
[10:14] <giox> sudo make
[10:14] <giox> sudo make install
[10:14] <redheat> ok
[10:14] <Tomcat_> xjkx: It doesn't use the disk at all, except for swap.
[10:14] <codename> I need some help trying to get lxdoom running
[10:15] <shwouchk> my ncurses got fucked (diplays many ?s and other weird signs) - how do I fix it?
[10:15] <redheat> isn't like that famous administrator account vs less priviliged account since anyone can use your computer
[10:15] <h1st0> redheat: no.
[10:15] <redheat> as if it was his under the admin account
[10:15] <redheat> ok
[10:15] <h1st0> redheat: its nothing like windows.
[10:15] <xjkx> tomaw: i mean the disk CD
[10:15] <Doomguy0505> shwouchk: tried reinstalling libncurses?
[10:15] <Zoidfarb> Ok, this is kind of a dumb question, but I'm using fluxbox, and for some reason I can't press and hold the backspace key to delete stuff. In other words, I have to press backspace repeatedly for each character. Is there a way to change this behavior?
[10:15] <redheat> no, I mean the idea of using a root account vs. an administrative account but of less power
[10:16] <h1st0> redheat: use your normal user acount and if you want to install drivers or software it will prompt you for root password.  You enter it and away it goes.
[10:16] <giox> z9999: in the drivers folder should be a file call xxxxxxx.inf file
[10:16] <shwouchk> Doomguy0505: yes
[10:16] <DWZ> With the Ubuntu Live CD, is it possible to get gparted not to mount the partitions when you run it? Or even prevent it from re-mounting them after you unmount them? (although, it could be Ubuntu doing this, rather then gparted)
[10:16] <h1st0> redheat: you need to read the link from ubotu about sudo
[10:16] <xjkx> Tomcat_: i mean the disk CD
[10:16] <redheat> they noticed that recently in windows vista and offered that Universal user protection stuff
[10:16] <redheat> when you wanna install drivers..
[10:16] <redheat> ok roger that
[10:16] <redheat> thank you so much
[10:17] <redheat> so much for your help
[10:17] <redheat> truely appreciate it
[10:17] <redheat> take care and good morning and a nice day to you all
[10:17] <z9999> giox: Just to my friends home directory or the ndiswrapper of bcm4311 directory in my friends directory. Sorry I'm not more knowledgeable about linux.
[10:18] <Doomguy0505> codename: do you have the iwads?
[10:18] <giox> z9999: is ok im not that great either
[10:18] <me7531> i am trying to get ubuntu to automount external drives when i attach them.  i created entries in fstab, but they do not automount.
[10:19] <codename> yep
[10:19] <me7531> i am using kde, not gnome
[10:19] <codename> i have a wad file
[10:19] <codename> :)
[10:19] <codename> SinCity wad
[10:19] <giox> lets start from the begining now that you found the folder
[10:19] <giox> z9999
[10:19] <xaxxon> h1st0; thanks for your help.. but I never got anywhere :(
[10:19] <codename> Doomguy0505: yeah I have a wad file i wanna use
[10:19] <Tomcat_> xjkx: Well all the CD won't fit into your RAM (except maybe if you have 8 GB ;P), so it will still access the CD from time to time.
[10:20] <shwouchk> my ncurses got fucked (diplays many ?s and other weird signs) - how do I fix it?
[10:20] <giox> z9999: first go to  bcm4311 directory  tell me what is in it
[10:20] <xaxxon> shwouchk; type reset
[10:20] <xaxxon> maybe
[10:20] <Doomguy0505> codename: did you put the iwads in /usr/share/lxdoom/wad?
[10:20] <dgjones> me7531, have you created the directories in your (say) /media directory that matches the mount points used in fstab
[10:20] <tsukasa_> ypcat
[10:20] <xjkx> Tomcat_: yea but not that often :D i have only 512 :S
[10:20] <codename> nop
[10:20] <codename> e
[10:20] <codename> :(
[10:20] <shwouchk> xaxxon: no go
[10:21] <tsukasa_> how do you see a list of groups a machine has?
[10:21] <z9999> giox: there's 27  files in it
[10:21] <xaxxon> h1st0; run something.. graphicsy in it
