[17:40] <jinja-sheep> How do I list the devices on my hard drive (and mount a certain device)?
[17:40] <Svish|Laptop> why is the VPN tab in NetworkConnections disabled?
[17:40] <mib_722mbejg> 	hey icannot install ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop lenovo 3000 G430
[17:40] <pyrokay_> jinja-sheep, try gparted
[17:40] <mib_722mbejg> help me
[17:40] <wolter> jinja-sheep, nice to know it.. my touchpad needed some fixes as well, but i am having problems with my webcam and my bluetooth... m1530 has bluetooth right?
[17:40] <pyrokay_> Svish|Laptop, have you installed the neccesary packages?
[17:40] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_722mbejg, Please have some patience and keep your question and responses to one line.  THings like help me etc only delay your answer
[17:41] <jinja-sheep> wolter:  Sure if you bought it with Bluetooth.  I was able to get my mouse to work with Bluetooth.
[17:41] <jinja-sheep> wolter:  Not sure about webcam.  I have no needs for webcam + fingerprint.  <_<
[17:41] <elmnas> ty meganox :)
[17:41] <Svish|Laptop> pyrokay_: probably not. what are they? there is no info there
[17:41] <wolter> pyrokay_, jinja-sheep: i get something about stopping bluetooth at boot in the syslog file =D
[17:41] <Svish|Laptop> the VPN tab is just blank and disabled.
[17:42] <wolter> jinja-sheep, em, could you download cheese to see if it works right away and then you tell me?
[17:42] <pyrokay_> Svish|Laptop, try doind an apt-cache search vpn and look for any vpn-core packages.
[17:42] <jinja-sheep> wolter:  Uh.  OKay.
[17:42] <oholiab> hey, was wondering if anybody's messed around with ushare at all
[17:42] <wolter> pyrokay_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/104454/
[17:42] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_722mbejg, To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[17:42] <jim_p> is there an app other than irssi,xchat, pidgin that can connect me to irc through a simple gui? i am on irssi now and i have no idea how to switch channels
[17:42] <wolter> please check it out,.,.
[17:42] <pyrokay_> wolter, do an lspci and lsusb and look for bluetoothy things

[17:43] <meganox> jim_p: pidgin is the simplest gui i have seen for irc
[17:43] <ocRob> if i manually edit resolv.conf what do i need to do to flush the dns and start using the new servers, or is it dynamic?
[17:43] <jim_p> pyrokay_: my bro does not like it in his pc. nor does pidgin
[17:44] <jim_p> meganox: ^^
[17:44] <oholiab> jim_p: esc + NUM to switch tabs, if that's what you mean
[17:44] <wolter> pyrokay_, ok, but here is some more to the syslog thing http://paste.ubuntu.com/104456/
[17:44] <pyrokay_> jim_p, bad luck
[17:44] <meganox> ocRob: there's no flush command for linux AFAIK
[17:44] <Jack_Sparrow> jim_p, If you have three working IRC clients, you need to just try a few more.  We cant possibly know what you want in a client.  You can ask the bot. since we discourage polls on best app in this channel
[17:45] <jim_p> oholiab: i am on a laptop with fn keys now!!!
[17:45] <mikejet> ocRob - ubuntu seems to use the new resolv.conf immediately after you write the file.
[17:45] <ocRob> meganox: ok, is resolv.conf dynamic?
[17:45] <Hutch> can anyone help me sort out my no sound in firefox problem?
[17:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !polls
[17:45] <ocRob> ok i thought so

[17:45] <meganox> ocRob: i assume so
[17:45] <mikejet> ocRob : Is there something you can put in resolv.conf to use a persistent TCP connection to the ISP dns server?
[17:46] <wolter> pyrokay_, here is the lspci... i don't know if there is really something bluetooth http://paste.ubuntu.com/104457/plain/
[17:46] <jim_p> oholiab: my point on what?
[17:46] <oholiab> what you just said
[17:46] <Svish|Laptop> pyrokay_: ok, will try do that
[17:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Atchoum, What are you trying to install (from outside supported repos)

[17:49] <wolter> jinja-sheep, any success?
[17:49] <jinja-sheep> wolter:  Had some issues at first.  And then it worked.
[17:49] <pyrokay_> wolter, no, sorry. that's just the usb ports
[17:49] <meganox> oholiab: have you tried fuppes?  are you using intrepid?  this is what i'm stuck on, can't satisfy dependencies
[17:49] <bbbs> how do i logout of the x windows and go to the shell
[17:49] <wolter> jinja-sheep, which issues?
[17:49] <pyrokay_> wolter, lsusb will give you info about attached usb devices, including intern al bluetooth
[17:49] <jim_p> brb people
[17:50] <pyrokay_> bbbs, Ctrl + Alt + f1
[17:50] <jim_p> i will find that client :P
[17:50] <jinja-sheep> wolter:  Nothing really.  It weren't showing anything at first.  Few restart with the applications then it displayed a video.  Overall, no issues.
 j'essaie d'installer osdate
[17:50] <Hutch> anyone have any suggestions for usb audio from flash via firefox?
[17:50] <oholiab> meganox: I managed that actually
[17:50] <Pici> Usually, 60 days
[17:51] <meganox> oholiab: any tips?
[17:51] <wolter> jinja-sheep, did it freeze when you tried to close it?
[17:51] <oholiab> meganox: you can either apt-get it or use apt-get build-dep ushare and then compile from source
[17:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Atchoum, English please
[17:51] <jinja-sheep> wolter:  I closed it.  No freezing.
[17:51] <oholiab> meganox: oh wait, do you mean fuppes or ushare?
[17:52] <Atchoum> i install osdate
[17:52] <bbbs> i want all x windows shutdown though
[17:52] <Pici> bbbs: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[17:52] <meganox> oholiab: lol, fuppes unfortunately
[17:52] <meganox> oholiab: will try ushare
[17:52] <mre> can anyone help me with a network-manager issue? the thing is that on my hardy --> intrepid upgraded laptop network manager wors, but on my fresh installed intrepid it doesn't - it says the wired connections are unmanaged... dunno why, since i have [ifupdown] managed=false in my /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf file
[17:53] <oholiab> meganox: I'll give fuppes a try and get back to you
[17:53] <wolter> jinja-sheep, sorry to bother you, but which webcam do you have?
[17:53] <mre> and there's the other thing about iwl not working saying this in dmesg:
[17:53] <mre> [   43.405539] iwl3945: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch

[17:54] <Prolescum>  Hello. Anyone know how to set up dual screens using a Radeon 320M. I don't really want to edit the xorg.conf
[17:54] <jinja-sheep> wolfter:  I'm pre-occupied with something here. ;)
[17:54] <wolter> !tab | jinja-sheep
[17:54] <pyrokay_> Prolescum, unplug one of the screens and do it in the gui. then plug the other screen in :)
[17:55] <wolter> jinja-sheep, no problem then...

[17:55] <bbbs> any other ways to logout of x-windows?
[17:55] <Hutch> sigh, noone experience usb audio issues with firefox/flash?
[17:55] <Enselic> Where do I change the application that is launched when I click on a link to a .png in Konversation? I'm on Ubuntu.
[17:55] <Pici> bbbs: Did my suggestion not work?
[17:56] <pyrokay_> bbbs, you can force the xserver to quit by doing ctrl alt backspace, but it isn't reccomended
[17:56] <Jack_Sparrow> mre, HW RF Kill switch       Would seem to imply there is a hardware switch turned off
[17:56] <bbbs> that doesn't log you out of x-windows though. it just opens another terminal. i need to be able to kill all X windows
[17:56] <mre> Jack_Sparrow, yea, but i have the killswitch disabled
[17:57] <Prolescum> @Pyrokay -- Thank you, but that doesn't seem to work; it recognises another screen in the GUI, but doesn't actually show up on the second screen.
[17:57] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: seems to be a nasty bug
[17:57] <Pici> bbbs: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop   will stop the xserver from running.
[17:57] <Jack_Sparrow> mre, What hardware?
[17:57] <Hutch> pyrokay_: any help with the USB sound issue?
[17:57] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: 1 moment
[17:58] <lilendian> SO have any of you guys had any luck with a fully functional driver setup with GTX 200 series cards?
[17:58] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: [   13.128636] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.26ks
[17:58] <pyrokay_> Hutch, not yet
[17:58] <Jack_Sparrow> mre, Is this a laptop
[17:58] <Hutch> pyrokay_: is that a known issue or not sure?
[17:58] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: yep, HP nx7400
[17:58] <lilendian> I was able to get X up and running with the binary build 180 drivers, but the resolution was screwed up. any thoughts, guys?
[17:58] <Jack_Sparrow> mre, One or two seconds
[17:59] <energY> Finaly, soon done with 8.04 upgrade. 8.10 next:D
[17:59] <pyrokay_> Hutch, not sure. try lsusb and paste me the content
[18:00] <Jack_Sparrow> mre find a little push-button-thing at the top, above the lighted bar---- it's a little wireless icon with sound-waves on both sides of th e signal-thing.
[18:00] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: Debian Sid gave me the exactly same problem
[18:00] <oholiab> meganox: what was the first dependency error you got when you ran the ./configure?
[18:01] <jensor> How can a usb flash drive be formated in ext2 format?
[18:01] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: huh? you mean a button above the keyboard or what? that is already turned on and glowing
[18:01] <pyrokay_> jensor, use gparted
[18:01] <bbbs> thx
[18:01] <bbbs> when is the ubuntu forum going to be back up
[18:02] <Pici> bbbs: There is no timeframe at the moment, sorry.
[18:02] <pyrokay_> bbbs, just use google 'cached' option
[18:02] <mre> jensor: why would you want ext2 for any reason?
[18:02] <Prolescum> @Pyrokay -- Should I just try a fresh install and see if that makes a difference?
[18:02] <Jack_Sparrow> mre, Have you pushed it?  I dont have one of those, just making a suggestion
[18:02] <niklaus> where do we set the system wide font in gnome for hardy ?
[18:02] <Kaushal> hi
[18:02] <jensor> pyrokay_, I don't recognize what gparted is.
[18:02] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: i have done so before, nothing, then i even rebooted with the thing on and still nothing
[18:03] <Hutch> pyrokay_: PMed you since firefox is crashing atm and cant pastebin it
[18:03] <meganox> oholiab: libavcodec1d, installing from a deb from getdeb
[18:03] <Kaushal> i dont see pidgin 2.5.4 for Hardy Heron in http://www.getdeb.net/app/Pidgin
[18:03] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: button glowing = killswitch OFF; button not glowing = killswitch ON
[18:03] <Kaushal> when its going to be released
[18:03] <meganox> oholiab: oops, maybe it's a hardy deb, i just realised
[18:03] <_moro_bana_> !pwd
[18:03] <jensor> mre, I need the format for a receiver i am playing with
[18:03] <mre> jensor: lol, yea use gparted
[18:03] <pyrokay_> jensor, run gksudo gparted - it's a partitioning tool.
[18:03] <_moro_bana_> what does the command pwd do?
[18:03] <Jack_Sparrow> mre Note: Most HP Notebook PCs have wireless devices built-in. To turn on the built-in device, simply press the wireless power button on your PC which will have the universal symbol for Wi-Fi (shown here on the left) and illuminate with a blue light.
[18:03] <oholiab> meganox: sorry, that with fuppes or ushare?
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> mre http://h20239.www2.hp.com/techcenter/Wireless/wireless_TS.htm
[18:04] <meganox> oholiab: fuppes.  have installed ushare now, just checking if it works
[18:04] <pyrokay_> _moro_bana_, shows your present working directory in bash. maybe you're looking for poasswd?
[18:04] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: lol, i already told you, it's on and it's working in windows :D
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> mre, np good luck..
[18:05] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: it's working in windows but NOT in linux
[18:05] <mre> that's my problem
[18:05] <mre> :/
[18:05] <lilendian> anyone here using a GTX 200 series graphics card on ubuntu?
[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> mre, No need for threee lines to say that..
[18:05] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: sry...
[18:06] <Damaki> I'm new to Ubuntu, I've just installed 8.10 on my desktop but I can't connect to a wireless network since I can't for the life of me find the option to do so. Right clicking on the Network Manager in the top taskbar gives me the option to edit connections which I have done, but there's no option to actually connect to the network.
[18:06] <Damaki> The help file tells me to go to System -> Administration -> Network
[18:06] <Damaki> But that option does not exist in the Administration menu
[18:06] <pyrokay_> Damaki, is your wireless card working?
[18:06] <Damaki> It should be.
[18:06] <meganox> oholiab: well fuppes is running but xbox doesn't see it
[18:07] <Mrdudecool> On Vista, do I have to partition first or can I do that in the installation process
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Damaki, Have you looked at our wifi page  or our supported hardware page
[18:07] <Damaki> I bought one which should work "out the box" especially for ubuntu.
[18:07] <Damaki> How can I check?
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !wifi
[18:07] <Tulga> I configured static route to <IP_ADDRESS>/24 host on windows, freebsd and ubuntu machines. but ubuntu 8.10 not working on it. I added 'up route add -net <IP_ADDRESS>/24 gw <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth1' to /etc/network/interfaces. what is wrong here?
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[18:07] <pyrokay_> Damaki, i'm not sure. try ifconfig
[18:07] <oholiab> meganox: ushare is working for me, but the problem is that it sees every file as a music or video file
[18:07] <NET||abuse> hmm, testing gnupg keys between linux and vista here. I find that sending the gpg key from windows to linux, the asc file is attached, i can't right click and just import the key,  i have to "decrypt and open" then it realises it's a key and imports it.
[18:07] <Damaki> I have checked, but I will check again.
[18:07] <Adam_> !hardware | Adam_
[18:07] <Mrdudecool> On Vista, do I have to partition first or can I do that in the installation process
[18:08] <Damaki> Aha, I will read through that wifi docs, Jack_Sparrow. Thanks.
[18:08] <oholiab> meganox: and it's not reading the ID3 tags so it thinks that every item is an album, artist, song and playlist
[18:08] <jensor> I am running ubuntu eee and tried to format a usb flash drive using
[18:08] <jensor> terminal.When I gave the format command for the drive, terminal says
[18:08] <jensor> cannot format because drive is mounted.I then unmounted the drive and
[18:08] <jensor> gave the format command for the drive, and terminal says device not
[18:08] <jensor> found.I am trying to format ext2,so I can't use windows.How on earth
[18:08] <FloodBot1> jensor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:08] <jensor> do you do this in linux? I am limited in my knowledge of linux, so a
[18:08] <pyrokay_> Mrdudecool, you can do it in the install process. install vista first, then install linux on top
[18:08] <Adam_> Mrdudecool: I believe you need to have it unallocated
[18:08] <NET||abuse> what gives with that kinda weirdess.. this is with ubuntu+thunderbird+enigmail and Vista+Outlook2007+winPT
[18:08] <_moro_bana_> pyrokay_: no, I was looking for pwd, thanks
[18:08] <eternal> anyone use POSTFIX here ?
[18:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !eee > jensor
[18:08] <bbbs> where are the start up scripts in ubuntu
[18:08] <Adam_> Mrdudecool: if you install ubuntu second, you have to edit the grub boot file to include windows
[18:08] <Damaki> okay, pyrokay_, I've just run that command and I only get my eth0 and loopback devices. How can I enable my wireless card?
[18:08] <Mrdudecool> thanks pyrokay. I have had vista for a while on my laptop I can still install linux now, right?
[18:08] <pyrokay_> _moro_bana_, alright, cool
[18:08] <eternal> do you have to use the ncurses config to set it up ?
[18:08] <Hutch> pyrokay_: sorry rebooted.
[18:09] <Adam_> i believe
[18:09] <pyrokay_> Damaki, yes
[18:09] <Mrdudecool> Adam, is that hard to do?
[18:09] <Joe_> are there any major disadvantages with going with Intrepid 64bit?  IE lack of 64bit versions of key/useful programs?
[18:09] <Adam_> Mrdudecool:  no it's very easy, just google 'reinstalling grub after windows'
[18:09] <Hutch> pyrokay_: did you get the info?
[18:09] <pyrokay_> Hutch, do a lsusb and search google for the USB ID of the device you want.
[18:09] <bbbs> where can i put a command to be run before the xserver starts
[18:09] <meganox> oholiab: sounds bad.  fuppes looks good but it looks like i'm going to have to build it, which will have to wait till tomorrow
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Joe_, exactly the reason we suggest 32 unless you have over 4 gigs of ram
[18:09] <NET||abuse> joe_: so far my only lacking is sound on the vista 64 VM in virtualbox
[18:09] <M3TAPHYS1CS> Hi guys, I recently installed Windows 7 (multibooting with vista and Ubuntu) and since then i think windows has overwritten my Grub as i cant select Ubtuntu to boot from. I know it is still there i just lack the option to select it =(
[18:09] <NET||abuse> Joe_: otherwise not really.
[18:09] <eseven73> Forums are down again?
[18:10] <Mrdudecool> ah okay thanks.
[18:10] <Adam_> M3TAPHYS1CS: google 'reinstalling grub after windows'
[18:10] <Mrdudecool> Im going to have a try in a few
[18:10] <zloog> Whats the perfered protcol for file sharing between to linux computers?
[18:10] <meganox> oholiab: in fact i have to go now. good luck!
[18:10] <jensor> what does gksudo do in lieu of sudo?
[18:10] <Joe_> jack_sparrow NET||abuse building a new computer that will be able to support over 4GB (MB can) so I probably will end up with it, just debating on 64bit OS over 32bit with PAE enabled
[18:10] <pyrokay_> M3TAPHYS1CS, boot from ubuntu live disk and do grub install hd(0,0)

[18:15] <bartocc> stdin: what will happen if I do both ? by mistake
[18:15] <Mrdudecool> Is this link any good on how to edit grub? http://najam.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/reinstall-grub-after-installing-windows-xp/
[18:15] <Prolescum> @Pyrokay -- Have tried google too... I appreciate the forum very much and use it often, but am an amateur still. Is there a time to come back here when someone with that kind of info is about?
[18:16] <petafile> WHat do I need to do to get a joypad set up in intrepid?  Its a USB logitech PS1 knockoff controller, I've installed the xorg joypad driver and the joystick package.
[18:16] <stdin> bartocc: depends where gem installed it, if it was in /usr/local then that will override the package install, if it was in /usr then the package will overwrite the gem install
[18:17] <stdin> bartocc: I'd suggest removing the one installed by gem and installing the packaged version
[18:17] <bartocc> thx stdin
[18:17] <linduxed> im getting horrendously slow video playback, but there are no terminal messages that indicate my computer being too slow (it absolutely isnt)
[18:17] <linduxed> any ideas where to start looking?

[18:19] <eternal> hmm
[18:19] <Mrdudecool> What is the LiveCD? Is that the download of ubuntu?
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Mrdudecool, yes
[18:19] <pyrokay_> Mrdudecool, yes
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[18:19] <SlimeyPete> !livecd
[18:20] <linduxed> eternal: picture a 600x400 .avi hogging down to 1 FPS
[18:20] <Mrdudecool> Okay thanks guys. As I have windows vista already and want to install ubuntu on my laptop also but then for the choice need to edit grub and not sure how to do that easily
[18:21] <petafile> My joypad doesn't seem to be detected since cat /dev/input/js0 and xev both don't detect button presses.  Any ideas?
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Mrdudecool, the livecd installer takes care of all of that
[18:21] <wolter> is there a way i could prevent link symbols from showing up in my desktop?
[18:21] <Mrdudecool> Ok thanks.
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> wolter, As in mounted drives?
[18:21] <Mrdudecool> So if I just run the installer for ubuntu, it will do the dual thing for me?
[18:21] <wolter> Jack_Sparrow, well yes.
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> yes to both of you
[18:21] <pyrokay_> Mrdudecool, it should do it automagically
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> wolter, One sec
[18:22] <Mrdudecool> Ok thanks guys
[18:22] <Jack_Sparrow> wolter, To Remove Drive Icons from Desktop Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visable..  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/hide-removable-drive-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/
[18:22] <wolter> Jack_Sparrow, and could you help me with my webcam and/or bluetooth later?
[18:22] <saschahl> petafile: joypad data usually does not generate x events that are visible in xev
[18:22] <saschahl> petafile: but cat /dev/input/js0 should at least produce some data
[18:23] <wolter> Jack_Sparrow, ah well, i mean the link emblems that are attached to icons when one makes a link
[18:23] <jim_p> done!
[18:23] <wolter> Jack_Sparrow, but only in the desktop.
[18:23] <jim_p> i am on lostirc now
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> wolter, NOt my thing..  I dont use anything bluetooth.. and All of the cheapie webcams I have tried have worked out of the box, the fancy ones, havbe not
[18:23] <jim_p> can someone please highlight me?
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> wolter, that will just remove tham from your desktop, they are still there
[18:24] <cinco29> hey im running ubuntu 8.04 andi wanted to know if i should upgrade to 8.10?
[18:24] <saschahl> petafile: does the js0-device exist at all? does dmesg show anything about it?
[18:24] <cinco29> like whats the difference?]
[18:24] <oCean_> jim_p: like this?
[18:24] <jim_p> cinco29, are you on ati?
[18:24] <cinco29> nope
[18:24] <petafile> saschahl, it looks like it's running as /dev/input/js1. . .
[18:24] <jim_p> oCean_, thans, but nothing blinked
[18:24] <petafile> but thanks for the help
[18:24] <Jack_Sparrow> cinco29, If you really want to try it, make a full backup or try the livecd
[18:24] <jim_p> cinco29, do you make extensive use of wireless?
[18:25] <Enissay> I've downloaded a movie and when tried to play it with vlc player, it says that: "Content blocked,this media file can only be played using DOM-X".... Any idea on how fix this please?
[18:25] <cinco29> i dont use wireless at all.
[18:25] <majnoon> tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out
[18:25] <ronaldj218> Which channel should be used for SciLab discussion?
[18:25] <wolter> Jack_Sparrow, and if i linked a folder in the desktop, could i remove the link emblem?
[18:25] <wolter> its*
[18:25] <jim_p> cinco29, upgrade to 8.10 then and remove network manager
[18:26] <pyrokay_> Enissay, don't dowload coprighted files.
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> wolter, Not sure how you would remove the link thinginy on the icon
[18:26] <wolter> Jack_Sparrow, ok
[18:26] <cinco29> removing network manager would i still have my normal lan?
[18:26] <Enissay> pyrokay_: :S
[18:26] <pyrokay_> Enissay, that's a virus infected file. well, domplayer is a virus. try axxo.
[18:27] <Enissay> pyrokay_: what's axxo?
[18:27] <wolter> does anybody know when are the ubuntu forums going to be back?
[18:27] <Scunizi> I'm trying to file a bug on launchpad and I get timeout errors..
[18:27] <pyrokay_> wolter, use google's cache to view them.
[18:27] <TheFunkbomb> so, I figured out my issue with Yahoo Literati
[18:28] <jim_p> cinco29, removing network manager will guarantee less headaches when it comes to networking. if you are not compy on configuring your wired connection through the terminal, use gnome-network-admin
[18:28] <jim_p> *comfy
[18:28] <francesco> hola
[18:28] <pyrokay_> wolter, just do cache:www.<webpage>.com in a google search.
[18:28] <energY> How long time untill ibex will have Nvidia graphic acceleration?
[18:28] <cinco29> what would be some of the advantages to 8.10?
[18:28] <pyrokay_> hey there
[18:28] <jim_p> i quit. i go to my own pc and xchat
[18:28] <cinco29> i understand jim
[18:28] <energY> cinco29: Guest user, and encrypted folder in peoples homes.
[18:28] <jrib> energY: I've had it since ibex was released.  Ask a more specific question
[18:28] <jim_p> stupid irc apps! who made them?
[18:29] <pyrokay_> cinco29, better compatability with certain things.
[18:29] <energY> jrib: Isn't there some problem with the drivers?
[18:29] <cinco29> hmm ok
[18:29] <ASDFG23456> hello, i will ask a noob question please don't flame me
[18:29] <jrib> !notes > energY
[18:29] <pyrokay_> just ask it
[18:29] <linduxed> eternal: just noticed something
[18:29] <TheFunkbomb> apparently, there is an issue between greasemonkey in Ubuntu and yahoo literati
[18:29] <MindVirus> Is ext4 the fastest format out right now?
[18:29] <oCean_> wolter: just curious *why* whould you want to remove that link-thingy?
[18:29] <MindVirus> Is it anything in comparison to Reiser4?
[18:29] <jrib> energY: for some cards.  Check bugs.ubuntu.com for the related bug if that's what you are asking about
[18:30] <wolter> oCean_, because its big and misplaced... i don't like it there...
[18:30] <linduxed> eternal: mplayer reports that it cant find the codec even though i installed all the gstreamer packages
[18:30] <linduxed> MindVirus: depends on what you use it for
[18:30] <wolter> pyrokay_, tough luck, today the last snapshot was taken
[18:30] <MindVirus> linduxed, let's say desktop usage.
[18:30] <linduxed> MindVirus: reiser is the best for small files afaik
[18:30] <energY> jrib: Then I will take the risk... I'll hope for luck, if not it'll probably be fixed sometime...
[18:31] <MindVirus> linduxed, that's ReiserFS or Reiser4?
[18:31] <linduxed> 4
[18:31] <jrib> energY: just check by using a live cd, or read the release notes and see if your card is affected
[18:31] <jinja-sheep> wolter:  What was it that you asked from me?
[18:31] <linduxed> MindVirus: well, all the reiserfs are good
[18:31] <cesar_bo> Hello, how can I put options for my touchpad on the xorg.conf, I am using intrepid and the xorg.conf file doesn't have the inputdevice section. Where is now?
[18:31] <oCean_> wolter: ah ok. Well it's probably in the definition of the icons. Unfortunately I have no idea where you should look
[18:31] <wolter> jinja-sheep, do see which webcam you had built in
[18:31] <Damaki> How long are the forums usually down for during maintenance?
[18:31] <MindVirus> linduxed, ReiserFS is a complete rewrite.
[18:31] <MindVirus> I'm sorry.
[18:31] <MindVirus> Reiser4.
[18:31] <wolter> oCean_, ah ok
[18:31] <jinja-sheep> wolter:  The command I meant.
[18:32] <jrib> cesar_bo: wiki.ubuntu.com/X and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[18:32] <wolter> jinja-sheep, lsusb
[18:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Damaki, No eta on when they will be finished
[18:32] <linduxed> MindVirus: yeah and ive heard its for the better
[18:32] <Noah1989> reiserfs has murderous performance!
[18:32] <MindVirus> Of course, but it's not stable.
[18:32] <MindVirus> Noah1989, in a good way?
[18:32] <zloog> !samba
[18:32] <cesar_bo> jrib: thanks, I would look it
[18:32] <Damaki> Jack_Sparrow, okay thanks.
[18:32] <zloog> !smb
[18:32] <wolter> jinja-sheep, also, if you could run gstreamer-properties afterwards, that would be great
[18:32] <Noah1989> MindVirus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser
[18:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Damaki, they are seldom down this long,
[18:33] <sektor1952> anyone here about a work around for bug 313568 bug report has not been updated yet
[18:33] <MindVirus> Noah1989, I know who he is.
[18:33] <cinco29> okay well. i was asking these questions cus i think i installed 8.10 the wrong way or did something wrong, or maybe corrupted cd...
[18:33] <sektor1952> trying to compile nic drivers and it comes up with a version mismatch
[18:33] <Damaki> Jack_Sparrow, it's no problem. I just need to get some drivers for my wireless adapter, which I thought would work but the version I have actually requires ndiswrapper and some 64-bit drivers :/
[18:33] <Damaki> Just need to wait to read a forum post :P
[18:34] <jinja-sheep> wolter:  Let me get on the laptop.
[18:34] <cinco29> i installed 8.10 and after installation was done, i was prompt to a terminal to log in, and i then i was just lost from that point
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Damaki, What make model of wireless card
[18:34] <cinco29> so i went back to 8.04 where i have a desktop
[18:34] <Damaki> Jack_Sparrow, I have a Netgear WG311 v3
[18:34] <Noah1989> MindVirus: it's just to explain what "murderous performance" refers to
[18:34] <sektor1952> cinco I have desktop working in 8.10
[18:34] <ASDFG23456> when a library has the ending *.la is it a complete library or is it the source of a library or something?
[18:34] <MindVirus> Noah1989, he killed his wife.
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Damaki, Let me see if I have any notes
[18:35] <linduxed> MindVirus: over all though the ext systems are the ones i see as a nice standard, if i dont feel like checking if theres a fs that will be t0ta11y-1337 under "THESE UND EXACTLY THESE!" conditions then i know ext is a sure way to be satisfied
[18:35] <cinco29> okay then it must have been that the image i burned some how got corrupted
[18:35] <Noah1989> MindVirus: yeah.. i am afraid of using his filesys, how can i be sure it does not kill files of mine?
[18:35] <Damaki> Jack_sparrow, I thought I was buying a v2, which apparently works "out the box". the box doesn't specify a version number though.
[18:35] <Damaki> Jack_Sparrow, thanks.
[18:35] <MindVirus> Noah1989, ReiserFS was fine.
[18:35] <MindVirus> It was checked by kernel devs.
[18:35] <Noah1989> MindVirus: well, to be serious
[18:35] <MindVirus> NOTHING that is unstable goes into the kernel.
[18:35] <Noah1989> MindVirus: reiserfs is fine and i used it
[18:36] <mobl-sheep> wolter:  Here I am.
[18:36] <Noah1989> MindVirus: but i'm afraid the development thereof is kind of paused
[18:36] <sektor1952> anybody?
[18:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Damaki, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3
[18:36] <cinco29> ill stick to 8.04 for now
[18:36] <MindVirus> No, development of Reiser4 is paused.
[18:36] <MindVirus> ReiserFS = Reiser4.
[18:36] <MindVirus> *3
[18:36] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  Yes -- Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.
[18:37] <Damaki> Yeah Jack_Sparrow, I'm reading that page at the moment. One of the steps is to get the Netgear drivers for it. But since I have a 64-bit system, I need the 64-bit drivers. The guide directs me to a forum post which is down :P
[18:37] <Jack_Sparrow> MindVirus, Please try to keep your responses to one line
[18:37] <aleperalta> Hi guys any good how to on building virtual cluster with xen (toy cluster), I found some stuff in google but it's using 5.10... maybe you now something more updated. Thanks

[18:37] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  Try restarting cheese few times before you finally see the video.
[18:37] <Damaki> Jack_Sparrow, It would be great if you could, although I don't mind waiting.

[18:47] <goobsoft> Hey, I'm trying to create a screencast, but I can't seem to get the ogg converted to flv.  When I use the method described here (http://lampcomputing.com/node/27), it only maps the video to the flv file, and I get an flv with no sound.  Any tips?
[18:47] <slipst> What good tasks/calendar apps are there? I'm looking for something to keep track of classes and when I have to turn in assignments..
[18:47] <Noah1989> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but it's what he wanted, wasn't it?
[18:47] <wolter> kinja-sheep, could you run gstreamer-properties now?
[18:47] <Damaki> okay Jack_Sparrow
[18:47] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, cool
[18:47] <whoop> _Ming_: sudo su
[18:47] <PriceChild> slipst: I use evolution's calendar as it integrates with gnome.
[18:47] <Finnish> Is raw dv-format unpacked video?
[18:47] <whoop> _Ming_: or cd / (depends on what you mean)
[18:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Noah1989, What he wants may not be the best choice for what he wants to do.  sudo -i  would perhaps be better
[18:48] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  The command?  What are you looking for?
[18:48] <slipst> PriceChild, does it remind you of upcoming things or do you have to manually check it?
[18:48] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  The plugin is Video For Linux 2 (v4l2).
[18:48] <wolter> kinja-sheep, ah ok.
[18:48] <PriceChild> slipst: I believe it can notify you.
[18:48] <Noah1989> _Ming_: you wanted to have a terminal run by the root acount, right?
[18:48] <wolter> kinja-sheep, what happens when you test it?
[18:48] <DakotaDogg> can anyone help me with a hosed gui on virtual pc ?  it was running great, but then i had the bright idea of changing the display mode in the gui display properties.  i have checked the x11/conf file and it is still ok.  it's just the gui that's hosed.
[18:49] <elostio> whats the difference between sudo su und sudo -i
[18:49] <Noah1989> _Ming_: or did you mean "go to root" as in "cd /"
[18:49] <sektor1952> anyone else have input on the kernel source and kernel header version mismatch issue?
[18:49] <slipst> PriceChild, I'm in the setup assistant now but I don't want to use it for email. Can I bypass this somehow? I only want the calendar.
[18:49] <wolter> kinja-sheep, and also, what does the pipeline line says?
[18:49] <Noah1989> elostio: the difference is s/su/-i/
[18:49] <Apocalypse> does the installcd contain a way for me to resize my ext3 partition?
[18:49] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  The blue beam shined at my face.  The pipeline -- v4l2src
[18:49] <PriceChild> slipst: press cancel?
[18:49] <Neremor> hello!
[18:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Apocalypse, Yes. partition editor is part of the livecd
[18:49] <PriceChild> slipst: or close the wizard
[18:50] <Pici> elostio: sudo -i properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell.
[18:50] <Noah1989> hi Neremor
[18:50] <wolter> kinja-sheep, no video appears, nor the app freezes?
[18:50] <Neremor> is there a program to search for missing album covers and save them in the albums directory?
[18:50] <elostio> thx pici
[18:50] <Apocalypse> Jack_Sparrow: sorry I didn't specify - 8.04 ( I'm sure it is new enough to include that, correct? )
[18:50] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  No video appears.  The app seems to be freezing on me (Testing... )
[18:50] <Neremor> i mean an standalone application
[18:50] <slipst> PriceChild, then evolution closes :) Thanks for the tip about evolution though, I'll just make something up for the email
[18:50] <Ktulhu_> i need help with gkrellm  , it freezes while using firefox and compiz any ideas ???
[18:50] <Noah1989> Pici: but sudo su would let the environment variables as they are?
[18:50] <wolter> kinja-sheep, nice, now we coincide in something, do you have 64bit or 32bit?
[18:50] <kinja-sheep> Pici -- You know about img2txt.  Is there a pastebinit for photos?
[18:51] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  amd64
[18:51] <PriceChild> slipst: odd, thought it was optional sorry
[18:51] <wolter> kinja-sheep, ok.
[18:51] <wolter> kinja-sheep, now, can you run cheese from the terminal?
[18:51] <Pici> kinja-sheep: I'm unsure.
[18:51] <basem> hi every body
[18:51] <wolter> kinja-sheep, a pastebin for photos could be imageshack.us
[18:51] <DakotaDogg> can anyone help me with a hosed gui on virtual pc ?  it was running great, but then i had the bright idea of changing the display mode in the gui display properties.  i have checked the x11/conf file and it is still ok with the values it needs to run correctly..  it's just the gui comes up normally, then goes garbled.
[18:52] <Damaki> Jack_Sparrow, Those are the same drivers that are in the guide that I'm following. However, the guide states that those drivers don't work on the amd64 platform (which is what I'm on), and in which case, I should instead use the 3rd party drivers which it links to the forums. I'll wait for the forums to come back up instead.
[18:52] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  The app ran just the same in terminal.  Video AK-OK.
[18:52] <p4rse> does anyone know if its possible to use a socks proxy instead of http_proxy?
[18:52] <Ktulhu_> i need help with gkrellm  , it freezes while using firefox and compiz any ideas ???
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Damaki, I tried
[18:52] <Damaki> Thanks for looking anyway, Jack_Sparrow :)
[18:52] <Damaki> Jack_Sparrow, yeah, much appreciated!!
[18:52] <TheFunkbomb> okay, how do I turn on metacity again?
[18:52] <dmhardison> Is there a location where I can find the packages that are required for a minimal Ubuntu installation. ie. just enough to boot to terminal
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !minimal
[18:52] <TheresaEllis> Hi. My PC crashed while GParted was resizing my windows NTFS partition and I had to hit the power button. Now windows wont boot. Should I use a Microsoft tool to try and repair the file system or an Ubuntu tool?
[18:52] <basem> any one tell me how to increase the disk size in linux
[18:52] <TheFunkbomb> !metacity
[18:53] <dmhardison> I need to do it via apt.
[18:53] <wolter> kinja-sheep, you get nothing like this, do you? http://paste.ubuntu.com/104489/plain/
[18:53] <kinja-sheep> TheresaEllis:  Why did you hit the big red button?
[18:53] <mikebeecham> can someone guide me in how to install an application that has an install and install-sh files?
[18:53] <dmhardison> I will be chrooting into the environment to create an image from the chroot
[18:53] <Apocalypse> TheFunkbomb: you use the compiz fusion icon to do it
[18:53] <Adam_> basem: you could use gparted
[18:53] <majnoon> tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out after about 15-20min
[18:53] <Ktulhu_> i need help with gkrellm  , it freezes while using firefox and compiz any ideas ???
[18:53] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  I get the same thing.
[18:53] <TheFunkbomb> Apocalypse, I don't think I have that
[18:53] <eseven73> TheFunkbomb: isnt it metacity --replace or something like that?
[18:54] <wolter> you do? oh its a shame..  because my image does not appear on the cheese screen...
[18:54] <wolter> does yours? kinja-sheep
[18:54] <Apocalypse> TheFunkbomb: yeah I had to install it, try searching for fusion in synaptic
[18:54] <basem> thank u adam
[18:54] <Apocalypse> then it will show up in your menu under applications - system tools
[18:54] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham, programs you get off the web instead of from our supported repos should come  with a howto where you get the program
[18:54] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  Yes, I get the same message in the terminal (and the video does work).
[18:54] <basem> but will this affect the system
[18:54] <Adam_> !Terminal | Adam_
[18:54] <TheresaEllis> kinja-sheep: Because the machine completely stopped. The mouse stopped moving and I could get to a terminal with ctrl-alt F1 thru F5 and ctrl-alt-backspace didnt respond, neither did ctrl-alt-del. The disk light had also stopped flashing. Power off was the only thing I could do.
[18:54] <eseven73> !ccsm | TheFunkbomb
[18:54] <Apocalypse> once you have it installed + running, you can easily switch between compiz and metacity with a click
[18:54] <_Ming_> how do i get detailed info about my network interfaces
[18:55] <Apocalypse> _Ming_: ifconfig as root?
[18:55] <Adam_> what's the difference between metacity and compiz?
[18:55] <_Ming_> ie chipset
[18:55] <mikebeecham> Jack_Sparrow: pidgin does not...it just has a simple "you should compile the program first"  not very helpful!!!
[18:55] <TheresaEllis> kinja-sheep: That should be could NOT get to a terminal, sorry
[18:55] <_Ming_> Apocalypse, tx
[18:55] <eseven73> _Ming_: maybe lshw too
[18:55] <wolter> kinja-sheep, oh i don't know what to do now... how much time did you let cheese to run before the video worked?
[18:55] <jim_p> are the radeon/radeonhd drivers included on the default ubuntu install?
[18:56] <Apocalypse> Adam_: metacity is the regular KDE window manager, compiz is the one with all the screen candy :)
[18:56] <kinja-sheep> TheresaEllis:  I don't know if you can recover it.  Shutting down when you're resizing a partition is never a good thing.  I'm not expert on data recovery.  You'll have to ask somebody else.
[18:56] <Jack_Sparrow> mikebeecham, We cant help it if unsupported repos or sites dont give you all the info you need.  Have you looked at getdeb.net
[18:56] <Noah1989> Apocalypse: no metacity was from gnome
[18:56] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  Not long.  Few secs.
[18:56] <Noah1989> Apocalypse: kde has kwin
[18:56] <eseven73> kwin is for KDE Apocalypse
[18:56] <x31_> hi
[18:56] <kinja-sheep> wolter: a second, really.
[18:56] <Apocalypse> oh my bad :)
[18:56] <ASDFG23456> kinja-sheep: thanks a lot, real simple help but did the trick
[18:56] <TheresaEllis> kinja-sheep: I know its bad news. I couldnt believe it when the machine froze. Such bad luck
[18:56] <x31_> i'm struggeling with my old pcg-n505x laptop and its hotkeys
[18:56] <Apocalypse> I keep switching between boxes and forgot that ubuntu defaults to gnome :)
[18:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !keys
[18:57] <TheresaEllis> Is there an IRC channel for gparted?
[18:57] <eseven73> !away > FRiEd|BnC
[18:57] <Jack_Sparrow> TheresaEllis, What is the issue
[18:57] <Noah1989> TheresaEllis: dunno, what you wanna know?
[18:57] <kinja-sheep> ASDFG23456 -- Glad to hear it.
[18:57] <wolter> kinja-sheep, ah, and, do you get a fatal: module not found. when you run sudo modprobe gspca ?

[18:58] <heatmzzr> can anyone tell me how to import a MS outlook contacts file into Evolution so that the fields match up?
[18:58] <x31_> Jack_Sparrow that doesn't help

[18:59] <netsurf3> advice?
[18:59] <wolter> kinja-sheep, do you have ekiga configured, or skype installed?

[18:59] <TheresaEllis> Jack_Sparrow: Hi. Machine locked up while gparted was resizing my ntfs windows partition. Nothing would respond including Ctrl Alt F1 thru F5, Ctrl Alt Backspace and Ctrl Alt Del. Hard disk light had stopped too and even the mouse was not responding. Only thing I could do was hit the power button. Now of course windows wont boot and I am not sure whether to try repairing the file system with a microsoft tool like chkdsk or with an ubuntu tool
[18:59] <Noah1989> packetloss: what graphics card?
[18:59] <kinja-sheep> wolter: I uninstalled ekiga the first thing.  No skype either.  (Has no need for webcam).
[18:59] <sektor1952> If kernel source is version <IP_ADDRESS>-generic and kernel-headers are <IP_ADDRESS> is it safe to ignore the header match
[18:59] <Jack_Sparrow> kinja-sheep, Yes to the first no to the second
[18:59] <packetloss> dont know, some intel integrated
[18:59] <packetloss> it's an ibm thinkcentre

I tried reconfiguring ubuntu-artwork, ubuntu-desktop, even temporarily renaming my .config and .gnome2 folders, nothing helped so far. Anyone care to help me out? :)
[19:13] <wolter> kinja-sheep, what you are saying is that your cheese chose the lowest resolution for you when you ran it?
[19:13] <ciaron> anyone have any experience with getting a Canon Pixma iP1000 to work with ubuntu?
[19:14] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: the complete command please?
[19:14] <Adam_> !cheese | Adam_
[19:14] <Adam_> what's cheese?
[19:14] <veloc1ty> Tobias92, i had the same and resolved it by deleting all themes from the .theme folder in my home dir
[19:14] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  Uh.  I think I changed that -- It was something so fast that I forget to mention it.
[19:14] <wolter> kinja-sheep, ah..
[19:14] <veloc1ty> then i was able to reinstall / apply new themes
[19:14] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: im afraid to use rm , not pretty sure
[19:14] <Jack_Sparrow> _moro_bana_, cant without knowing waht you are trying to remove.  gksudo nautilus     but be careful..
[19:15] <Tobias92> veloc1ty, you mean .themes? Yeah, it's empty
[19:15] <bullgard4> /etc/apt/sources.list shows several lines such as '#deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/ddebs gutsy main universe'. What packages are stored in these 'people' repositories?
[19:15] <wolter> kinja-sheep, do you think that i would get a better resolution with the adequate drivers?
[19:15] <TheresaEllis> Jack_Sparrow: http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotpm3.png
[19:15] <tgpraveen123> Adam cheese is a program to capture pics
[19:15] <tgpraveen123> using your webcam
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> ty
[19:15] <broly> what type of apps should i be looking into for the osx looking toolbars?
[19:15] <Adam_> tgpraveen123: ah okay, thanks =)
[19:15] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: ok, im removing django-admin.py from /usr/local/bin
[19:15] <tgpraveen123> Adam its like photobooth of mac. u can apply effects to them also
[19:15] <kinja-sheep> Adam_:  cheese is another term for money.  We were talking about money. :)
[19:15] <Tobias92> broly, avant window navigator :)
[19:15] <fixxxermet> I installed my system with a / ext3 partition.  Is there a way to change my / partition to xfs without losing all of my data or formatting my drive?
[19:15] <veloc1ty> Tobias92, it shouldn't be empty :s
[19:16] <Adam_> who moved my cheese?!
[19:16] <veloc1ty> normally the seems are stored there
[19:16] <oCean_> VideoSmith: don't worry if the 'free' mem isn't growing.. It's just Linux that attempts keeping a large cache
[19:16] <Joe_> if I move to a new system and go with Kubuntu, but move my /home directory over... it'll just ignore all the gnome settings and give me the default KDE dekstop... right?
[19:16] <kinja-sheep> wolter:  I wouldn't know..
[19:16] <Tobias92> veloc1ty, how might I fill it then?
[19:16] <broly> Tobias92, thanks ill google that now
[19:16] <bills> so, one of my co-workers did an update this morning and now when the login display pops up, it immediately disappears and then tries again... forever
[19:16] <bills> anyone else encounter this?  i'm looking around on the internet now...
[19:16] <jtaji> Joe_: that's correct
[19:16] <veloc1ty> Tobias92, check /usr/share/themes
[19:16] <bills> gdm and X are not dying but gdmgreeter is
[19:16] <Joe_> jtaji good, thanks!
[19:16] <EdgeX-> Hello; When I try and delete a specific file from my external from ubuntu; I get an 'input/output' error; any idea as to why this is?
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> TheresaEllis, Ok, so you have a windows recovery partition, windows partition and some free space.  an ubuntu boots but windows wont at this point correct so far?
[19:16] <veloc1ty> is it empty there?
[19:17] <Tobias92> veloc1ty, yeah there are some themes in there. Need I copy them to ~/.themes?
[19:17] <veloc1ty> try it with one of them
[19:17] <sektor1952> user_ ?
[19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Tobias92, usually just drop the tar files on an open theme manager window
[19:17] <EdgeX-> Hello; When I try and delete a specific file from my external from ubuntu; I get an 'input/output' error; any idea as to why this is?
[19:17] <loz> hi there,  could anybody help me regarding a wireless problem on intrepid; iwlist scan reports that i am connected to the wireless network, but i can't get connected to internet.
[19:18] <TheresaEllis> Jack_Sparrow: I dont have a windows recovery partition. sda3 is my linux /boot partition
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> TheresaEllis, sda1 is hidden
[19:19] <TheresaEllis> Jack_Sparrow: sda1 was the partition I deleted
[19:19] <Tobias92> Jack_Sparrow, veloc1ty, I though the problem was with compiz, I configured gtk-window-decorator now instead of compiz-decorator
[19:19] <Tobias92> Resetting X now
[19:19] <broly> Tobias92, that little navigator is awesome, thanks for the tip
[19:19] <Tobias92> broly, you're welcome =)
[19:19] <Jack_Sparrow> TheresaEllis, I need to see your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:19] <wolter> kinja-sheep, oh, i think i messed up somewhere, could you pass me your xorg.conf ?
[19:20] <wolter> kinja-sheep, i just need the video section, but i would like it all
[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> TheresaEllis, sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && pastebinit /boot/grub/menu.lst       (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[19:20] <bn43> hi I'm trying to execute the iproute sharing command when wvdial executes
[19:21] <bn43> but I need to do it manually now
[19:21] <bn43> can anyone point me in the right direction?
[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !dialup
[19:21] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: I see, gksudo nautilus gives me sudo on the on GUI
[19:21] <pyrokay> wvdial && iproute ?
[19:21] <ruben_> Can anybody help me?
[19:21] <pyrokay> yes
[19:21] <TheresaEllis> Jack_Sparrow: It looks as if somehow the ntfs partition is not as damaged as I thought as the warning triangle has gone and I can at least get a directory list. menu.lst is at http://pastebin.com/f5f61cc5
[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> _moro_bana_, correct, but is not forgiving if you make a mistake
[19:21] <bn43> huh?
[19:22] <pyrokay> ruben_, what's up?
[19:22] <_moro_bana_> Jack_Sparrow: I understand the might/power
[19:22] <ruben_> I can't install xubuntu within windows on my windows 98
[19:22] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: i found a way around it - i had to install linux-backports-modules-intrepid, but then i had no more eth0; i tried relaoding the boadcom b44.ko still nothing :/ any ideas?
[19:22] <mre> broadcom*
[19:23] <TheresaEllis> Jack_Sparrow: Is it worth trying to reboot windows in case it works now? Dont know why it would because when I ran chkdsk from a windows cd I didnt repair anything - just wanted to see if there were errors on the filesystem but maybe it repaired some stuff anyway
[19:23] <gaintsura> could someone explain/help me figure out why my time is always wrong? its really actually 12:22PM and my clock says 4:52PM. I made sure NTP is running, though I still do not get the correct time.
[19:23] <Jack_Sparrow> TheresaEllis, grub pointing to sda2 is correct at hd0,1 so try it
[19:24] <Jack_Sparrow> mre, no idea, please address the channel
[19:24] <EdgeX-> Hello; When I try and delete a specific file from my external from ubuntu; I get an 'input/output' error; any idea as to why this is?
[19:24] <TheresaEllis> Jack_Sparrow: OK. Thanks. Will do.
[19:24] <Jack_Sparrow> _moro_bana_, Exit as soon as you are done with that session of nautilus, never leave it open
[19:24] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: which channel?
[19:24] <mre> :D
[19:24] <ruben_> Can xubuntu be installed inside windows '98?
[19:24] <pyrokay> ruben_, that'll be tricky
[19:24] <bn43> um I've been told to put the scrip in /etc/ppp/ip-up-d
[19:25] <Jack_Sparrow> mre, this one.. but not with my name in the line
[19:25] <bn43> but that does not work
[19:25] <mre> ah :D
[19:25] <ruben_> Why?
[19:25] <ruben_> I have done it one 2 xp's
[19:25] <Jack_Sparrow> bn43, Please keep your responses to one long line.. thanks
[19:25] <loz> hi there,  could anybody help me regarding a wireless problem on intrepid; i have changed my router last week, and can no longer connect to the network, intrepid recognizes the wireless network, and when i click on the wireless network, the green and blue revolving arrows spin, then i get :Disconnected, the network connection has been disconnected, then if i type in iwlist scan, wlan0 appears to be connected to my wireless network, so
[19:25] <loz> no errors. i still have no connection to the net... any idea or guidance would be appreciated, as i can't seem to google myself out of this kaffufel...
[19:25] <pyrokay> because windows 98 is old, and the WUBI installer is meant for NT/XP.
[19:25] <bn43> ok sorry
[19:25] <ruben_> Ah
[19:25] <ruben_> Is there any wya to do it otherwise?
[19:26] <ruben_> *way
[19:26] <P_I_J_O_N> Hello
[19:26] <oCean_> gaintsura: I'm not sure, but sometime when the diff between the hardware clock and the "real" is too large. See what "hwclock --show" gives?
[19:26] <yakuz> Yesterday I installed msn-pecan and used WLM to get connected with Pidgin. Today when I loged in I got a question wether or not I want to "Accept certificate for rsi.hotmail.com?" SSL Certificate Verification. If I choose yes will i not be able to connect to Pidgin anymore?
[19:26] <mre> can anyone tell me why linux-backports-modules-intrepid removes the eth0 interface (i tried reloading my broadcom b44.ko but without success)
[19:26] <Jack_Sparrow> ruben_, It is way better to do a real install on its own partition.
[19:26] <pyrokay> ruben_, download the .iso image from the ubuntu website and burn it to a cd you can install it that way.
[19:26] <mre> i had to install linux-backports-modules-intrepid in order to use iwl3945
[19:26] <ruben_> Ok
[19:27] <EdgeX-> yakuz; #pidgin?
[19:27] <ruben_> Partition disk, install on that, ye?
[19:27] <gaintsura> oCean_: select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out is what hwclock output
[19:27] <yakuz> EdgeX-: didn't know there was such a channel. And people here often know ubuntu related stuff. But thanks I will ask there.
[19:27] <JonathanEllis> Jack_Sparrow: Hi again. The machine doesnt boot windows.  (text only at top of screen and then hangs with no disk activity so there is still some problem. I dont even get "Cant find ntldr" or anything similar. By the way I was talking to you on TheresaEllis a few minutes ago
[19:27] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27/+bug/287450 <-- can you throw an eye on this?
[19:28] <loz> hi there,  could anybody help me regarding a wireless problem on intrepid; i have changed my router last week, and can no longer connect to the network, intrepid recognizes the wireless network, and when i click on the wireless network, the green and blue revolving arrows spin, then i get :Disconnected, the network connection has been disconnected, then if i type in iwlist scan, wlan0 appears to be connected to my wireless network, so
[19:28] <loz> no errors. i still have no connection to the net... any idea or guidance would be appreciated, as i can't seem to google myself out of this kaffufel...
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> mre no  Im a bit busy
[19:28] <EdgeX-> yakuz, yea i've found I can just go to #<appname> on this network ;)
[19:28] <Tobias92> veloc1ty, no luck for me, it still looks darn-ugly
[19:28] <shredder12> i have installed medusa using  apt-get and on running it says unable to connect to the specified host...even though i can ping the host.. any clue..??
[19:28] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: no problem, tyt ;)
[19:28] <phnom> Is there any way to have different default sessions for different users in GDM?
[19:28] <BellinXFelon> hey i have a seagate external hard drive i used gparted to format it to ext 3 and i cant write anything to it, can anyone help?
[19:28] <veloc1ty> Tobias92, try to remove all the themes from both folders (copy them to another place) and then reinstall a new one
[19:28] <gaintsura> oh farkin fail! ubuntu forum is down
[19:28] <veloc1ty> that was how i got it running again ;)
[19:28] <EdgeX-> Hello; Whenever I try and delete a corrupted file from my external HDD on ubuntu- I get an 'input/output error'...Any idea as to why this is happening D:
[19:29] <loz> BellinXFelon: what format did you use?
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> JonathanEllis, Deleting that recovery partition is not something vista liked.  the #Windows people may be able to fix it with a windows install cd and fixmbr etc
[19:29] <BellinXFelon> loz ext3
[19:29] <Tobias92> veloc1ty, will do
[19:29] <loz> BellinXFelon: i did that, you have no permission to write on the disk?
[19:30] <JonathanEllis> BellinXFelon: It may be a permissions issue. Do you have permission to write to it? Try creating a small text file on the disk using sudo gedit <path>/somefilename
[19:30] <ruben_> Right, I have a disk, when I install on a new partition, will it be fairly straightforward?
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[19:30] <BellinXFelon> loz, for example i cant put anythin on it, if i copy it wont let me paste
[19:30] <kinja-sheep> BellinXFelon:  In terminal -- Point to your hard drive and chown <user>:<user> <path-to-your-hdd>
[19:30] <Tobias92> veloc1ty, no luck, it only changes the appearance configurator's theme (like it did before)
[19:30] <ruben_> Spiffing
[19:30] <mre> Jack_Sparrow: i'll try proposed :)
[19:30] <loz> BellinXFelon: i think you can do that just by right clicking on your hard drive, and change the properties
[19:31] <veloc1ty> mh sorry.. then i have no further ideas
[19:31] <veloc1ty> i had exactly the same but that was how i fixed it
[19:31] <JonathanEllis> Jack_Sparrow: Windows was fine after deleting the recovery partition. It was only the machine crashing during resizing the vista partition that killed it. But anyway, you dont recommend trying to fix it in linux so that is my question answered
[19:31] <loz> BellinXFelon: have you got permission to write etc?
[19:31] <oCean_> gaintsura: hm, not sure whether that is related to your problem
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> JonathanEllis, Good luck
[19:31] <loz> hi there,  could anybody help me regarding a wireless problem on intrepid; i have changed my router last week, and can no longer connect to the network, intrepid recognizes the wireless network, and when i click on the wireless network, the green and blue revolving arrows spin, then i get :Disconnected, the network connection has been disconnected, then if i type in iwlist scan, wlan0 appears to be connected to my wireless network, so

[19:31] <sektor1952> anybody else have suggestions to my issue?

[19:32] <shredder12> Hello people,, i have installed medusa using apt-get and on running it says unable to connect to the specified host...even though i can ping the host.. any clue about the solution??
[19:32] <JonathanEllis> BellinXFelon: You may need to take ownership of the disk using sudo chown. Try man chown to get the options you need
[19:32] <sektor1952> pyrokay: May ask your opinion?
[19:32] <Jack_Sparrow> loz, can you direct connect without the router?
[19:32] <pyrokay> sure, i have forgotten your problem again though :)
[19:33] <babs_in_michigan> Forums are back up
[19:33] <deany> BellinXFelon: might need the "active" bit setting again
[19:33] <loz> Jack_Sparrow: how can i know that?
[19:33] <kinja-sheep> !flash
[19:33] <pyrokay> yay, forums are back
[19:33] <pyrokay> thanks
[19:33] <JonathanEllis> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks. If the worst comes to the worst I will just delete the windows partition altogether since ubuntu works now and tell Theresa she can only use ubuntu now :-).  It would certainly be the quickest option but on the chance there is something quick I can do...
[19:33] <symbolis> Begin the chat exodus. :D
[19:33] <sektor1952> Pyrokay: Kernel version is 2.6.27-9-generic header version is <IP_ADDRESS>, so the drivers won't compile

[19:34] <pyrokay> sektor1952, pm me
[19:34] <loz> Jack_Sparrow: yes, ot will work with the ethernet cable
[19:34] <deany> if you check what partition is set to as "boot"...it might be the wrong one.. ive had to reset the "boot" bit when i aborted an install after it formatted the partitions.

I'm currently running Hardy, and I installed KDE4 packages concurrently with KDE3, but now I want to run a network upgrade. My question is whether or not the network upgrade will replace the old KDE 3&4 data with the new KDE4 install, or will I have to remove that manually?
[19:45] <pyrokay> kintarotpc, it just takes a while - and i can't quite remember. :D

[19:46] <babs_in_michigan> symbolis: It looks like it just keeps the music database there.  However, perhaps it saves the radio settings in the same file.  Thanks.
[19:46] <Jack_Sparrow> nikon365, The basics.. boot a livecd, mount the windows drive, save your stuff to a usb stick
[19:46] <pyrokay> creeed, what graphics card? compiz? etc
[19:46] <nikon365> Jack_Sparrow : ok , new to this....thnx.....need to recover files  but unable to mount drive  ee after using force commands
[19:46] <TheFunkbomb> I think I fixed it
[19:46] <TheFunkbomb> phew
[19:47] <babs_in_michigan> symbolis: Yup.  It certainly does save the radio station settings in the music database file.  Thanks again.
[19:47] <Jack_Sparrow> nikon365, if you cant read or force mount it you need professional help

[19:52] <Archangel013> Kubuntu Hardy. Installed KDE4 over KDE3 without fully upgrading Kubuntu installation. I want to update to Intrepid, but if I do a network upgrade, will the new installation replace the old KDE 3&4 with the new KDE 4 data, or will I have to do that manually?

[20:00] <pyrokay> bn43, set it as executable

[20:00] <Knysliux001> Hello, starting today totem stopped playing mp3 files after PC crashed. Where to start fixing it?
[20:00] <omshanti> my computer won't play mp3's but it goes through the motions.  haaaaaaalp!
[20:00] <bn43> pyrokay: ls -l shows this -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   92 2009-01-13 22:27 share.ppp0
[20:01] <Gnea> Knysliux001: will audacious play them?
[20:01] <Knysliux001> Gnea: I'll try to install it
[20:01] <bullgard4> /etc/apt/sources.list shows several lines such as '#deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/ddebs gutsy main universe'. What packages are stored in these 'people' repositories?
[20:01] <pyrokay> bn43, have you tried putting a symlink to it in init.d?
[20:02] <bn43> pyrokay: I don't understand - I just want the script to start on wvdial - not on every startup - isn't init.d meant for that?
[20:03] <fyrmedic> Whats up with the forums?
[20:04] <obunn> database corruption
[20:04] <zc> do you need root to change your iptables rules?
[20:05] <nickrud_> !sudo | zc (yes)
[20:05] <fyrmedic> anyone know why grub doesn
[20:05] <majnoon> tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out after about 15-20min
[20:05] <zc> nickrud_: how do i change them
[20:06] <Archangel013> New question: Would it be easier for me to log into a KDE3 desktop and remove all KDE4 packages and then perform a network upgrade to Intrepid, or to use a live CD to make a new partition for my /home folder and install Intrepid from the CD?
[20:06] <fyrmedic> oops,,, Anyone had experience with ubiquity failing at the install of grub. I am trying to install on an Acer Aspire One.
[20:06] <nickrud_> zc, that's a loong subject. Generally I use firestarter for simple workstation firewall rules; and shorewall for complex rules. I've never learned the actual iptables syntax myself
[20:06] <Knysliux001> Gnea: audacious play mp3 files fine, but totem and xine don't. Also preview in Nautilus doesn't work.
[20:07] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, i have that laptop. try validating the install cd at boot
[20:07] <bn43> can anyone help? I can't get a script to execute after starting wvdial
[20:07] <gaintsura> how come when I run hwclock I get this? select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
[20:08] <nickrud_> bn43, you mean if you start wvdial in a terminal, you can't run a script in the same terminal?
[20:08] <gaintsura> bn43: afaik you are supposed to put the script in /etc/init.d/pppd-up or similar?
[20:08] <fyrmedic> pyrokay: I am trying to do the install from a live usb created with unetbootin. I am going to download another iso and try re-creating the usb stick.
[20:08] <Gnea> Knysliux001: what audio output is audacious using?
[20:08] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, you can check the media at boot
[20:09] <[TiZ]> Seriously, what's happened to the forums? They've been fubar'd for the past day! There's a thread I need to post. I'll probably just pastebin it and ask for help ere.
[20:09] <[TiZ]> here*
[20:09] <bn43> nickrud_: no I put a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and read that any script in there executes
[20:09] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, but i used the standard installer + madwifi, works alright
[20:09] <Archangel013> I want to upgrade to Intrepid with KDE4, but I already have some KDE4 packages installed on Hardy. Would it be easier for me to log into a KDE3 desktop and remove all KDE4 packages and then perform a network upgrade to Intrepid, or to use a live CD to make a new partition for my /home folder and install Intrepid from the CD?
[20:10] <fyrmedic> pyrokay, I didn't see that option on the usb startup. The only options I saw were "default" "help" and "manufacturer"
[20:10] <Knysliux001> Gnea: PulseAudio
[20:10] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, sorry, i was thinking of a different boot cd
[20:10] <nickrud_> bn43, ah, I've never used wvdial and expected that to happen. I've always used pppconfig so don't have any usable insight
[20:11] <gaintsura> bn43: perhaps it is executing?
[20:11] <fyrmedic> pyrokay: no worries. How did you do the madwifi? Was that after the successful install?
[20:11] <bn43> gaintsura: no it isn't - I have to do it manually
[20:11] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, i just compiled and installed, would you ike my madwfi installer script?
[20:11] <Knysliux001> Gnea: thanks, I think the problem is with xine engine. I'll try to reinstall it.
[20:12] <bn43> if I do sudo ./script, it executes
[20:12] <Gnea> Knysliux001: okay
[20:12] <fyrmedic> pyrokay; No thanks, I found plenty of resources on getting that working. I just have to get through the install first.
[20:13] <xiamx> Is there a gnome repo for ubuntu to get the lastest version of gnome?
[20:13] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, alright, well, it boots from usb alright, and everything else works :)
[20:13] <Slart_> xiamx: nothing official.. there might be some non-official repos somewhere though
[20:14] <fyrmedic> pyrokay: Ok sure I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
[20:14] <Slart_> xiamx: just out of curiosity, is there anything special in the newest gnome?
[20:14] <Archangel013> Anyone have any idea?
[20:14] <bn43> anyone?
[20:15] <Slart_> Archangel013: that you have some KDE4 packages installed already shouldn't affect the update.. I would just do a plain upgrade
[20:15] <majnoon> tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out after about 15-20min
[20:15] <Knysliux001> Gnea: unbelievable! All I had to do to fix xine engine was to delete ~/.xine dir :)
[20:15] <Archangel013> Slart_: Alright, thank you :) And that wouldn't remove KDE3 packages, right? I would have to do that manually after the upgrade?
[20:15] <alexander> Is there anybody who use a bluetooth headset with ekiga?
[20:15] <Gnea> Knysliux001: right on :)
[20:16] <l_r> what is the non plus ultra app with gui for bluetooth device management in lunux?
[20:16] <Jerrr> How do you tell if your using kde / gnome?
[20:16] <pyrokay> Jerrr, is it blue or brown?
[20:16] <Jerrr> Brown
[20:16] <pyrokay> Then it's gnome :)
[20:16] <Jerrr> Ok :D
[20:17] <Knysliux001> Jerrr: most probably :)
[20:17] <Slart_> Archangel013: I have no idea if it will remove the KDE3 packages...
[20:17] <pyrokay> hehe
[20:17] <someonetestingcr> hi there, does anyone know if it is possible to set the dpi (like Xft.dpi) at boottime? Through grub as a boot parameter?
[20:17] <Archangel013> Slart_: Alright thank you for your help :)
[20:17] <Jerrr> :)
[20:17] <Slart_> someonetestingcr: dpi? dots per inch?
[20:17] <someonetestingcr> exactly
[20:17] <bn43> hi I have placed a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and made it executible - sudo wvdial brings up my modem but the script does not execute - I have to do it manually - what can I do to fix?
[20:17] <Slart_> someonetestingcr: but.. at boot time it doesn't care about dpi..
[20:17] <pyrokay> someonetestingcr, try looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:18] <DjViper> someonetestingcr: you mean at gdm ?
[20:18] <Slart_> someonetestingcr: it doesn't matter until you start X.. or?
[20:18] <[TiZ]> I need some help. I wish there were a better way to do this, but the forums are so screwed up right now. I've written a short novella and put it on pastebin. x_x Would anyone mind looking it over and answering the questions I have? It's at http://pastebin.com/m6dfac214. Thanks.
[20:18] <gaintsura> bn43: it just occured to me, but have you set it to the same user/group as the other scripts in ppp/ip-up.d/?
[20:18] <someonetestingcr> yeah I know, I also could do it in the the .Xresources, but I need it on a livecd, thats why I need to do it as a boot parameter if possible
[20:18] <fyrmedic> pyrokay: I'll give it a shot if you have it set up.
[20:18] <bn43> um how do I check that?
[20:19] <majnoon> tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out after about 15-20min
[20:19] <gaintsura> bn43: ls -al /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/
[20:19] <majnoon> and forums are DOWN
[20:19] <gaintsura> forums aren't down
[20:19] <gaintsura> I was just there
[20:19] <pyrokay> [TiZ], i'm reading :)
[20:19] <[TiZ]> Thank you, pyrokay
[20:19] <Bllasae> yeah they are for me too
[20:19] <ptn107> they are down
[20:20] <gaintsura> bn43: if it isn't then you'd sudo chgrp <groupname> -R /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ && sudo chown <owner> -R /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/
[20:20] <bn43> gaintsura: the other files show exactly the same settings
[20:20] <bn43> root root
[20:20] <gaintsura> ptn107: they were down just a minute ago yes, but I was literally just browsing the forum not 2 seconds ago
[20:20] <Slart_> someonetestingcr: but even a live cd must have some kind of default init file for X... I doubt very much that you can set dpi from grub.. that would be like inserting your favourite firefox bookmarks into grub..
[20:20] <gaintsura> bn43: what about the permissions?
[20:20] <bn43> the same
[20:21] <Bllasae> down for me still
[20:21] <ptn107> gaintsura: im on them right now all pages say "We'll be right back. -- ubuntu-geek"
[20:21] <gaintsura> hm
[20:21] <gaintsura> hm, I see that now too
[20:21] <gaintsura> meh
[20:21] <[TiZ]> The forums are most definitely not up. "We'll be right back. -- ubuntu-geek"
[20:21] <bn43> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   92 2009-01-13 22:27 share.ppp0
[20:21] <gaintsura> bn43: I'm really nore sure then
[20:21] <gaintsura> brb
[20:21] <ptn107> they were fine 5 min ago
[20:21] <[TiZ]> What kind of clusterfudge hit them? O_o
[20:21] <someonetestingcr> Slart_: Okay, but since the livecd (Crunchbang Linux btw) is in a packed format, I might not be able to change that file before burning it to disk, or am I?
[20:21] <rhousand> I have a fresh install of 8.04.1 when i get to the login screen I have to login to failsafe. if i try to login to gnome the screen turns black for a sec the takes me back to the login screen. what could that be??
[20:22] <pyrokay> [TiZ], You can use your ntfs partition as-is. at install time, just set the 120gb partition to be mounted as /home/
[20:22] <marabout> is there a way to review what installs have been done via sudo apt-get update. i would like to review what I have done to consider uninstalling some items
[20:22] <Slart_> someonetestingcr: most packed formats can be unpacked.. if not then perhaps that live cd isn't what you want
[20:22] <mikebeecham> hi guys...can anyone tell me if there are any alternatives to Firefox in Linux?
[20:22] <Jerrr> Firefox :)
[20:22] <bn43> mikebeecham: opera
[20:22] <lifenova> mikebeecham: Opera
[20:22] <Bllasae> why can't you use ff?
[20:23] <[TiZ]> pyrokay, isn't that a completely bad idea? To use a non-ext3 partition as /home?
[20:23] <Slart_> someonetestingcr: if it's an ordinary iso then you can edit it using the regular archiving tools.. file-roller or whatever it's called in Gnome
[20:23] <Knysliux001> [TiZ]: you'll waste HOURS of time while shrinking partitions
[20:23] <mikebeecham> bn43: lifenova how comparable is Opera to Firefox?
[20:23] <someonetestingcr> Slart_: It is in the the filesystem.squashfs
[20:23] <bn43> u'll miss the extensions if ur an extension junky
[20:24] <bn43> but on my system it 'feels' faster
[20:24] <pyrokay> [TiZ], why would using a ntfs partition be so bad?
[20:24] <mikebeecham> bn43:  the only extension I really use is flashgot
[20:24] <lifenova> mikebeecham: tabbed browsing, more secure/standards compliant than IE, add-ons... I don't use it, but the website is http://www.opera.com/
[20:25] <Knysliux001> [TiZ]: gparted while booted from livecd lets you simply copy - paste partition from one place to another, then delete old one.. That's what I would use to move /
[20:25] <Slart_> someonetestingcr: I have no idea.. and..since this is *ahem*  #ubuntu.. you might not find the admins looking favourably on you asking for help anothed distro..
[20:25] <bn43> its got a pretty good download client built in
[20:25] <mikebeecham> bn43 is that BT?
[20:25] <mikebeecham> I tend to use Deluge for BT
[20:26] <[TiZ]> pyrokay: There's no real support for permissions, jsut permission masks at mount time. I would have to set every file as executable if I wanted to put any programs on it, or I would have to not put any programs at all. Opening any file is painful if everything is chmod 777.
[20:26] <Jerrr> Whats the major difference between 32b/64b?
[20:26] <bn43> but I love my ff - especially with the vimperator extension
[20:26] <Slart_> someonetestingcr: but you can't be the first one that wants to change something in a live cd.. there has to be howtos and such
[20:26] <bullgard4> /etc/apt/sources.list shows several lines such as '#deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/ddebs gutsy main universe'. What packages are stored in these 'people' repositories?
[20:26] <[TiZ]> Knysliux001: Oh! That's highly convenient. Plus, I am prepared to waste hours shrinking partitions. :)
[20:26] <someonetestingcr> well, crunchbang is based on ubuntu
[20:26] <someonetestingcr> so the iso is probably packed in the same way
[20:26] <bardyr> Jerrr, 64bit can take more then 4gb ram
[20:26] <Jerrr> 32b can only take 4?
[20:26] <majnoon> tried xset -dpms and my screen STILL blanks out after about 15-20min
[20:26] <bardyr> Jerrr, yea
[20:27] <icewaterman> hi, does anyone know a tool for linux, that can make an avi file from a lots of pictures?
[20:27] <Jerrr> Ok, thanks!
[20:27] <bardyr> Jerrr, everything else is pretty much the same except some closed source apps dont support 64bit
[20:27] <Slart_> bullgard4: hmm.. my sources list doesn't mention people.ubuntu.com.. some kind of mirror or 3rd party repository?

[20:27] <jim_p> how can i set a theme on a gtk1 app? aria in particular
[20:27] <Slart_> icewaterman: try avidemux, I think it can do that
[20:27] <pyrokay> [TiZ], if you're prepared to wait, then you can start backing up your ntfs partition, delete it, convert to ext2 and transfer back. as to your roms, i'm not too sure.
[20:28] <Slart_> icewaterman: I think mencoder or ffmpeg might be able to do too
[20:28] <Knysliux001> [TiZ]: Still, asking a friend to borrow some big HDD for a day would save you a lot. ;)
[20:28] <filthpig> Hi, is it possible to make a computer boot from a usb flash device even if the bios doesn't list it as an option? It's a very old laptop :)
[20:28] <icewaterman> Slart_: i know avidemux, diddnt know it could do that. but i'll give it at try
[20:28] <[TiZ]> pyrokay: My roms are on Zangetsu too. Pretty much everything is there.
[20:28] <Slart_> icewaterman: I might be wrong.. I thought I saw something about individual frames somewhere.. might have been the other way.. movie->images
[20:29] <[TiZ]> Knysliux001: I'd do that if I knew anyone who had one. :/
[20:29] <rhousand> what startup scripts run in gnome but not failsafe-gnome?
[20:29] <pyrokay> [TiZ], i know they're there - i know how to transfer them, but not how to play them.
[20:29] <qbmaniac_work> guys
[20:29] <[TiZ]> pyrokay, uhm, that's for zsnes and gens to do.
[20:29] <qbmaniac_work> 'hdparm -i /dev/hda gives me all IDE drives... is there a way to get SCSI drives??
[20:30] <Jerrr> Is it possible to set up a vnc server on ubuntu so I can dial in from my vista laptop?
[20:30] <Jasen> Hello all!
[20:30] <marabout> can anyone help with error message "GSynaptics couldn't initialize."
[20:30] <Slart_> Jerrr: yes
[20:30] <Jerrr> Slart_ ; Mind shooting me to a link ?
[20:30] <Jasen> I have a Vostro 1500 and before I begin using ubuntu I need to verify a few things :)
[20:30] <Jerrr> :D
[20:30] <Slart_> Jerrr: the vnc client works the same on windows as in ubuntu..
[20:30] <Slart_> .
[20:30] <Jerrr> Ok
[20:31] <Slart_> Jerrr: hmm.. let's see what ubottu have to say about it
[20:31] <Jasen> I once installed Ubuntu but gave up because I couldn't get my wireless to work
[20:31] <Slart_> !vnc | Jerrr
[20:31] <bullgard4> Slart_: On another Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer they do not appear either. I believe that they originate from third parties. System > Administration > Software Sources classifys them also as 'Third-Party Software'. This said, I would like what 3rd party in particular. Could the be Medibuntu backports?
[20:31] <Slart_> bullgard4: its possible.. you have googled for the url, right
[20:31] <Jerrr> !Freenx
[20:31] <Slart_> ?
[20:31] <Jerrr> Thanks.
[20:31] <Jasen> Where could I get ubuntu drivers for my Wireless, Graphics etc
[20:32] <shibbz> jasber,
[20:32] <shibbz> err
[20:32] <Knysliux001> [TiZ]: if your fstab uses uuid than it will work OK using copy-paste method. Just don't forget to delete the old partition.
[20:32] <shibbz> Jasen,  try going to www.google.com
[20:32] <shibbz> Jasen, I heard they have drivers
[20:32] <Slart_> jason: that would depends entirely on what kind of hardware you have
[20:32] <Pici> shibbz: Please don't, thats not helpful.
[20:32] <shibbz> Fine :|
[20:32] <shibbz> party pooper.
[20:33] <Slart_> jason: many drivers are available from the restricted drivers thingy
[20:33] <Jasen> restricted drivers? o.o what the heck is that
[20:33] <shibbz> anyways, google: "Your hwmodel + ubuntu version
[20:33] <shibbz> "
[20:33] <Pici> Jasen: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[20:33] <[TiZ]> Knysliux001, good point.
[20:33] <shibbz> ie; "Nvidia 8800GT ubuntu 8.10 drivers"
[20:33] <shibbz> that should lead you to the right place.
[20:33] <bullgard4> Slart_: I am hurrying to do what you suggested.
[20:34] <Jasen> And you don't need an internet connection to install them?
[20:34] <bn43> hi I have placed a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and made it executible - sudo wvdial brings up my modem but the script does not execute - I have to do it manually - what can I do to fix?
[20:34] <shibbz> you might
[20:34] <shibbz> depends which
[20:34] <shibbz> some run on scripts
[20:34] <Slart_> Jasen: I mistyped your name there.. sorry about that.. restricted drivers manager is an app that downloads and installs drivers for all kinds of things.. nvidia graphics card, ati graphics cards, wireless cards etc etc
[20:34] <bill__> anyone know anything about using 1) em28xx usb video capture devices, or 2) rt2870 802.11n usb wifi adapters with Intrepid?
[20:34] <shibbz> hmm
[20:34] <shibbz> Slart_,
[20:34] <shibbz> you seem familiar
[20:34] <shibbz> arent you Irene's husband?
[20:35] <Slart> shibbz: you might have run into me in this channel before
[20:35] <shibbz> no no, not from here.
[20:35] <_dbd_l12> Anyone knows if Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) will get PyQt 4.4 in the future (for the moment it's still 4.3). Is there an easy way to install pyqt 4.4 now (without breaking stuff) ? thanks in advance
[20:35] <Slart> shibbz: I'm pretty sure I would have noticed being married to this Irene.. I would have to say no
[20:35] <shibbz> damnit
[20:35] <shibbz> so irene IS available.
[20:35] <shibbz> fuck yea/
[20:35] <Slart> :D
[20:36]  * Slart gets out a !lol for himself and a !language for shibbz
[20:36] <Pici> shibbz: This is a support channel, could you please keep the language family friendly and move the offtopic chatter elsewhere, such as #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[20:36] <shibbz> sure sorry, i just got excited because irene is still available.
[20:37] <shibbz> anywyas, how about you help me out
[20:37] <shibbz> pelase
[20:37] <Slart> shibbz: just ask your question, like everyone else
[20:37] <phaidros> hi, what to do on non detected usb 2.0 stick (repeated ehci error messages)
[20:37] <shibbz> I installed nubuntu, but they removed the top bar and main menu... do you know of any way i can return that?
[20:38] <Slart> phaidros: try plugging it directly into the computer ie don't use an external hub.. apart from that I don't know.. usb stuff usually get detected properly
[20:38] <haole> hey there... i've just installed wine, but the fonts in it won't work... i can't see them, and sometimes they appear for a fraction of second and all messed up... what could be going on here?
[20:38] <Slart> shibbz: nubuntu?
[20:38] <Knysliux001> [TiZ]: about playlists. To my mind. Almost any playlist format is plain text. All you have to do is simply replace all /media/Zangetsu to /home/tiz/Music/ :)
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> haole, /join #winehq
[20:38] <Slart> !fonts | haole, not sure if this will help but you can always try
[20:38] <haole> Jack_Sparrow, i only experience this over ubuntu
[20:39] <Slart> haole: the msttcorefonts thingy..
[20:39] <haole> gonna try the msttcoreofnts
[20:39] <marabout> anyone can help me I am trying  to get "GSynaptics" to initialize
[20:39] <[TiZ]> Knysliux001: Right. sed would do that just fine. I use sed in a shell script for synching those playlists to my rockbox'd iPod. Works great. The thing is just finding those files.
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> haole, But you experience it only when running wine correct
[20:39] <haole> Jack_Sparrow, yes
[20:39] <lifenova> Can anyone help me try to get usplash to work? Upon booting/shut down, I see just a black screen instead of the splash screen
[20:39] <[TiZ]> And other links to /media/Zangetsu, as they will break after Zangetsu ceases to exist.
[20:39] <haole> msttcorefonts is installed :(
[20:39] <Bllasae> Alright
[20:39] <Slart> marabout: why not use the regular synaptics?
[20:39] <Bllasae> So I
[20:39] <Bllasae> m new to Ubuntu
[20:40] <Bllasae> I downloaded Thunderbird
[20:40] <phaidros> Slart: nope, plug unplug won't work. in best case it falls back to uhci .. most cases .. ehci errors galore :(
[20:40] <guntbert> !enter | Bllasae
[20:40] <Slart> Bllasae: welcome to #ubuntu then.. if you have a question, just ask
[20:40] <Bllasae> And I need to know how to open it
[20:40] <Scunizi> Slart: it's a gui configuration tool for a touchpad
[20:40] <shibbz> Yeah, nubuntu. it's a pentesting flavor of ubuntu... i'm just wondering how i could get the panels and main menu back up
[20:40] <Bllasae> Alright, sorry about that
[20:40] <Pici> Bllasae: How did you install it?
[20:40] <Slart> Scunizi, marabout ahhh.. sorry sorry sorry.. I confuse those two all the time..
[20:40] <Jasen> Ok. I have a
[20:40] <Bllasae> Pici: I didn't
[20:40] <Jasen> Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card
[20:41] <Bllasae> It just sitting there on my desktop
[20:41] <marabout> Slart: I went to configure my trackpad and the "GSynaptics couldn't initialize" window popped up.
[20:41] <Jasen> But the tutorial on the net says that you need the internet to do this :(
[20:41] <Jasen> And I don't see how you can do it because I don't have internet! *sigh*
[20:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Bllasae, thunderbird is in our supported repos..  sudo apt-get install thunderbird        will do it
[20:41] <Scunizi> !enter | Bllasae
[20:41] <shibbz> Jasen, isnt that based on the broadcom 4311?
[20:41] <Slart> marabout: mm, can't help you there.. never had to mess with my touchpad
[20:41] <Pici> Bllasae: Please use the software repositories via either Applications>Add/remove or System>Administration to install software.  There should be little reason to download software from 3rd party locations.
[20:42] <Bllasae> I like Thunderbird, so I downloaded it
[20:42] <Jasen> shibbz: yes
[20:42] <Lokiase> Can onyone tell me how to get rid of the "unlock keyring" popup when ubuntu starts up?
[20:42] <harrison> help, ive changed my xorgconf file 4 times and still cant get the resolution to change
[20:42] <harrison> can anyone help me with resolution issues?
[20:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Bllasae, And we are telling you the easy correct way to do it
[20:42] <shibbz> Jasen, it's pretty easy to install, as slart already told you about the drivers that come with ubuntu. are you using 8.10 or 8.4?
[20:42] <Scunizi> harrison: did you just install ?
[20:42] <harrison> yes
[20:42] <Jasen> 8.10
[20:43] <harrison> scunizi...but then i changed to a larger monitor after the install
[20:43] <Pici> Bllasae: To properly install it, use Applications>Add/Remove, do not download it from a 3rd party location.  We cannot support doing stuff that way and you will not get security fixes and updates from us.
[20:43] <lifenova> Bllasae: In Ubuntu, it is easier to install software that's in our repositories, not from the software vendor's website.
[20:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Bllasae, click on applications, accessories terminal and type.  sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[20:43] <NixerX> Anyone tell me how to globally change the icon for MP3 files to a custom icon?
[20:43] <Slart> Bllasae: things work a little differently on linux compared to windows.. always use the "Add/remove" thingy or system, administration, synaptic package manager to install software
[20:43] <Scunizi> harrison: was it working on the previous monitor?
[20:43] <harrison> scunizi....yes
[20:43] <shibbz> Jasen, I'm using the same card right now with 8.10...
[20:43] <Bllasae> Slart: Ah, you can tell I'm new from Windows lol
[20:43] <marabout> Scunizi: the error message says that I have to set 'SMHConfig 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config" how do I do that?
[20:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Bllasae, np..
[20:43] <Jasen> So it should auto detect it? o.o
[20:43] <Scunizi> harrison: had you enabled the restricted drivers for your card? and what kind of card do you have.?
[20:43] <shibbz> Jasen, its detected automaticly
[20:43] <Slart> Bllasae: you *can* download stuff but it will only give you problems you don't want =)
[20:43] <Pici> Bllasae: We were all new once (or at least most of us) :)
[20:43] <Jasen> Oh great!
[20:43] <Slart> Bllasae: hehe.. common thing, we've all been there
[20:44] <Jasen> That solves a problem :D
[20:44] <pyrokay> harrison, try doing sudo dpkg --reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[20:44] <mikejet> I couldn't get ubuntu to use my CRT correctly, so I broke down and bought an LCD monitor.
[20:44] <harrison> scunizi....no, not that im aware of
[20:44] <Scunizi> harrison: what kind of card?
[20:44] <shibbz> Jasen, private message
[20:44] <harrison> pyrokay...ive already done that.  It gives me a generic xorg file with 800x600
[20:44] <harrison> scunizi...radeon 9000
[20:44] <teniser> Hi everybody
[20:44] <teniser> I need a help
[20:44] <[TiZ]> Alright. Pyrokay, Knysliux001, thank you guys for your help. I'm going to reboot to the intrepid liveCD, install ndiswrapper and xchat so I can pop in here, and get started.
[20:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[20:44] <energY> I ugraded to 8.10. Why doesn't it show me a guest user, and a encrypted folder for my user?
[20:45] <teniser> Where I can find a deeb installation of Galaxium messenger?
[20:45] <pyrokay> [TiZ], alright, but i'm going soon, so these nice people will have to help out
[20:45] <[TiZ]> I'm sure it'll all be good. ;)
[20:45] <shamus> what do i search for in synaptic if I wanted to remove older versions of the kernel?
[20:45] <Lokiase> Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the unluck keyring popup?????????????????????????????????
[20:45] <Slart> Bllasae: so, go to the system menu, administration, synaptic package manager.. it will ask you for your password.. then you'll get a big list of what is available..s earch for thunderbird
[20:45] <[TiZ]> Brb.
[20:45] <receptor> is it possible to install 8.10 to usb? i don't mean setting up a live cd with persistent changes but a proper installation like on hd
 if you can find an RPM version of it you can use the ailien package to convert it to a .deb
[20:45] <pyrokay> Lokiase, be patient please
[20:45] <Scunizi> harrison: arg.. look in System --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers and see if there is a driver listed there that you can activate.. if there is activate it and then restart.. sometimes you can't just restart the gui but need to do the whole machine.
[20:46] <phaidros> hi, what to do on non detected usb 2.0 stick (repeated ehci error messages: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 4)
[20:46] <harrison> Scunizi...ok...trying...brb
[20:46] <teniser> @nixerX, where I can download Alien? In Synaptic?
[20:46] <Slart> Bllasae: then click on the little square to the left of the name.. select "install" from the menu, then click the Apply button.. tadaaaa. it's done
[20:46] <Hikeractive> !alien
[20:46] <Jack_Sparrow> teniser, Not a good idea..using alien to convert debs
 yea alien should be there
[20:46] <teniser> is Alien easy for use?
[20:47] <filthpig> what system requirements does xubuntu have?
 yup
[20:47] <Scunizi> teniser: what are you trying to use alien on?
[20:47] <Bllasae> alright
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> teniser, It is a bad idea .. unsupported and you wont get much help if you use it and trash your system
[20:47] <pyrokay> filthpig, it can install on 192mb ram but it is a good idea to have at least 256.
[20:47] <shibbz> teniser, alien is pretty straight forward but can mess up your system.
[20:47] <rohil> Hi All. Just installed 8.10 dual boot with Vista on my vaio. I had gone ahead with guided install but it didn't ask me to create swap partition anywhere. Now, while installing some packages , I am getting errors related to man-db like  "No space left on device"
[20:47] <teniser> ok, thanks
[20:47] <rohil> Any help would be appreciated
[20:47] <nickrud_> how do you handle rpms in a deb system? with tongs
[20:48] <Bllasae> Apparently, it's already there. Is there a hard drive somewhere that I can see? Also, how can I put things on the desktop and the top bar next to the Firefox icon?
[20:48] <slatercomp> Hi for all.
[20:48] <Slart> !requirements | filthpig
[20:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Hey nickrud_  Agreed
[20:48] <rgotten>  i am getting error 25 on boot, nybody know what this is?
[20:48] <Gnea> rohil: that has nothing to do with swap, just no space left on your system - how much did you give it?
[20:48] <glax> Hi guys, I want to run a script every time the computer reboot with cron as user root.
[20:48] <glax> can that be done
[20:48] <knubbe> where do i configure my touchpad/mousepad now when ksynaptics has been removed from the repository?
[20:48] <Slart> rgotten: grub error 25?
[20:48] <Scunizi> teniser: there's probably a version of the program available for ubuntu.. what's the program you're trying to load?
[20:48] <jrib> glax: why?
[20:48] <energY> ubuntu-desktop, how big?
[20:49] <bn43> hi all - dunno if u were following my previous question but found the solution - the script file was illegally named
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !touchpad
[20:49] <rohil> !Gnea I gave it 8 gb with windows partition having 102 gb
[20:49] <pyrokay> bn43, thanks for that
[20:49] <glax> jrib, I want to open a screen every time the computer reboot and start running some application on it
[20:49] <pyrokay> good to know :)
[20:49] <Gnea> rohil: sounds like you didn't give it enough
[20:49] <teniser> @Scunizi, i want GALAXIUM MESSENGER, but on Google webiste there is only RMM instalation, i need deb, because i don't know how to use RPM
[20:49] <Slart> glax: why use cron if it's going to run when the computer boots?
[20:49] <Mrdudecool> Hi, I have tried to install this now and it just stays on the rocky sort of looking page and doesn't bring any windows up. Any help?
[20:49] <comicinker> where are development documentation files are installed? in particular, I search the gtk+ docs displayed in yelp
[20:49] <glax> crontab
[20:50] <glax> @reboot
[20:50] <Gnea> teniser: you can try to use alien to conver teh RPM to DEB
[20:50] <shibbz> did you install grub in the mbr?
[20:50] <fyrmedic> pyrokay: I just changed iso's and the 8.04 has an integrity check that the 8.10 that I had previously didn't. I think I had a corrupted image.
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> rohil, run livecd and delete /var/cache/apt/archives contents to make room
[20:50] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, excellent.
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Gnea, Has been told that and that it is not a good idea
[20:50] <NixerX> Can anyone tell me how to globally change the icon for MP3 files to a custom icon?
[20:50] <bn43> it had a period in it
[20:50] <TheFunkbomb> linux isn't really heavy on graphics cards, is it?
[20:50] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, also, having access to wired ethernet makes thiing a lot easier  :)
[20:50] <Mrdudecool>  Hi, I have tried to install this now and it just stays on the rocky sort of looking page and doesn't bring any windows up. Any help?
[20:50] <bn43> cheers
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, Actually yes
[20:51] <jrib> NixerX: you probably need to edit the icon theme (ie create your own based on the one you use now)
[20:51] <knubbe> Jack_Sparrow: thank you
[20:51] <fyrmedic> pyrokay: doing the install process now. When you installed to your netbook how did you partition it? And I have net access.
[20:51] <guntbert> !repeat | Mrdudecool
[20:51] <TheFunkbomb> Jack_Sparrow, really?  I have a 64mb GPU and it's fine
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, compiz and all of that do add up
[20:51] <jrib> glax: sure you can do that, but you should probably explain exactly what you are doing to make sure there isn't a better way
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> knubbe, np
[20:51] <Mrdudecool> Sorry guntbert
[20:51] <Slart> Mrdudecool: "rocky sort of looking page"?? "install this", what is "this" ? what are you doing? please explain more
[20:51] <Bllasae> Apparently, it's already there. Is there a hard drive somewhere that I can see? Also, how can I put things on the desktop and the top bar next to the Firefox icon?
[20:51] <eseven73> TheFunkbomb: it depends on the window manager that you have
[20:52] <Scunizi> teniser: if you need access to msn messenger there are other programs that will do that nicely.  aMSN, emesen, Pidgin and Wengophone.. and they are all in the Repo's
[20:52] <TheFunkbomb> I just have the basic window manager
[20:52] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, personally i resized acers partition to 100Gb, gave ubuntu 15, and set acer's 100gb as /home/.
[20:52] <Mrdudecool> Basically, the first page opens and I enter on the Install Ubuntu link and then the next page comes on but nothing else happens.
[20:52] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, gmone, ked or ?
[20:52] <Gnea> teniser: is there something that galaxium can do that pidgin cannot?
[20:52] <eseven73> TheFunkbomb: something lightweight like fluxbox would be very easy on the graphics card
[20:52] <TheFunkbomb> gnome
[20:52] <glax> jrib, Every time the computer reboot I want to open a screen -S name and run a python script on it
[20:52] <jrib> comicinker: dpkg -L PACKAGE will tell you the files a package has installed, but why do you need to know this?
[20:52] <bigzter> hi there...can someone help me here.... I'm trying to join a wireless network in my school, but it seems like I can't surf the internet although I am connected to the network...
[20:52] <jrib> glax: I guess that's ok, but why as root?
[20:52] <Scunizi> teniser: aMSN handles video too.. not sure about emmessenn
[20:52] <Bllasae> Also, should I download ALL the security updates?
[20:53] <filthpig> Slart: Thanks. I'm gonna install on a system with effectively 222 mb ram, will xfce be okay, or should I go for an even lighter desktop?
[20:53] <comicinker> jrib: yelp has no print dialog
[20:53] <Gnea> bigzter: did you sign up for an account?
[20:53] <TheFunkbomb> I just have the standard version of Ubuntu 8.10
[20:53] <fyrmedic> pyrokay: oh ok, I am using the ssd model. I suppose I will give ubuntu 8 on the fixed drive and /home on the removable drive.
[20:53] <pyrokay> bigzter, do an ipconfig /all on your local windows pc, and copy that into your wifi connection preferences.
[20:53] <bullgard4> Slart: What are 'ddebs' as in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html?
[20:53] <jrib> comicinker: file -> print this page
[20:53] <pyrokay> fyrmedic, ok.
[20:53] <Pici> TheFunkbomb: If you are planning to enable desktop effects, you'll need something that supports 3d accelleration, otherwise, you should be fine.
[20:53] <bigzter> okay pyrokay, try that
[20:53] <Slart> filthpig: hmm.. 222 Mb is a bit on the smallish side.. but it will run xfce.. you won't be able to run openoffice, gimp, firefox etc at the same time though
[20:53] <teniser> @Gnea, i don't like Pidgin
[20:53] <MoronCounty> server boston.ma.us.financialchat.com 7000
[20:54] <comicinker> jrib: sorry, I ment devhelp
[20:54] <glax> jrgp, need it so I can listen on certain ports and make some configurations on the system
[20:54] <teniser> because i used Windows Live Messenger a couple of year
[20:54] <teniser> and i want a messenger as WLM
[20:54] <glax> jrgp, can @reboot specify that it want to be as root
