[05:52] <anticlockwise> It's my friend's, I think it's an intel 815
[05:52] <thadthudpucker> mon^rch: ill start there
[05:52] <stormy|> Okay so I sucessfully upgraded from Ubuntu 6.06LTS AMD64 to Edgy 64 ....
[05:52] <Steil> has anyone been able to get edgy to run on sparc?
[05:52] <bruenig> bragger
[05:52] <stormy|> ^_^ I had to do it using 'apt-get dist-upgrade' .... the other methods wouldn't work
[05:52] <anticlockwise> ajmorris_: It's an intel 815
[05:53] <jeff_> someone gave me a link to ntfs mounting can they post it again please
[05:53] <thadthudpucker> mon^rch: thanks...
[05:53] <bjohnson__> how can I test if /etc/cron.hourly is firing?
[05:53] <toferrado> cables, I mean animated wallpaper...
[05:53] <nonewmsgs> !ntfs
[05:53] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:53] <cables> !ntfs | jeff_
[05:53] <ubotu> jeff_: please see above
[05:53] <mon^rch> thadthudpucker: np... helped me lots
[05:53] <cables> toferrado, you mean like a video file, or an animated GIF image?
[05:53] <stormy|> lol bruenig:  are you trying to upgrade to edgy?
[05:53] <bruenig> bjohnson__, put something in there
[05:53] <bjohnson__> my dnsupdate script is not working and I can't figure out if it's a problem with cron or perms
[05:53] <toferrado> cables, gif image or swf animation...
[05:53] <ajmorris_> anticlockwise, i am running that to.... i don't have any special drivers installed. Do u mean what driver should be set in xorg.conf?
[05:53] <bjohnson__> the script runs when I run it as sudo
[05:53] <msmyth> bruenig, what do you suggest?
[05:54] <cables> toferrado, I think you can use an animated GIF as your background.
[05:54] <toferrado> cables, In windows I can apply a html file as wallpaper...
[05:54] <bruenig> bjohnson__, put something that that does "echo test >> /testfile" or something else
[05:54] <dibblego> where can I find a list of supported graphics cards?
[05:54] <bruenig> s/that//
[05:54] <anticlockwise> ajmorris_, yep, I've heard that a package called 915resolution needs to be installed, is that true?
[05:54] <cables> toferrado, I don't think you can do that in Ubuntu
[05:54] <toferrado> cables, but it you be animated?
[05:54] <cables> dibblego, pretty much everything will work
[05:54] <cables> dibblego, there's a livecd, use that to test
[05:54] <mon^rch> thadthudpucker: additionally the "firestarter" firewall app has some internet connection sharing stuff, and a nice policy editor... although I don't use them much
[05:55] <cables> toferrado, try it, i think it should.
[05:55] <dibblego> cables, I haven't bought it yet
[05:55] <cables> dibblego, you don't have to buy Ubuntu...
[05:55] <toferrado> cables, ok!
[05:55] <dibblego> cables, the graphics card
[05:55] <oscar> cables: Now I have not Nautilus running (I think that) But when I do that you told me (top) Nautilus appear at the top of the list
[05:55] <cables> dibblego, ooohh.
[05:55] <bruenig> msmyth, I don't know, maybe the folks at #bash could do that. I have never tried to simulate a ctrl +c in a script, so am not sure how you would do that
[05:55] <nonewmsgs> is the buying ubuntu a frequent question or just when im here
[05:55] <ajmorris_> anticlockwise, i don't have that installed so.... no. I am using the i810 driver in xorg.conf. A while ago i did install that package but appeared to do nothing for me
[05:55] <cables> oscar, okay, I'm not sure why.
[05:55] <dibblego> nonewmsgs, nobody asked it
[05:55] <cables> nonewmsgs, he wasn't talking about buying Ubuntu
[05:56] <thadthudpucker> mon^rch: thanks again!
[05:56] <anticlockwise> oh really? Ok, then I'll try installing nothing :)
[05:56] <cables> dibblego, nVidia cards are generally well-supported. I'll find a list of supported nVidia cards, just a sec.
[05:56] <anticlockwise> ajmorris_, thanks
[05:56] <oscar> cables: Do you know  some place or some person to ask about that?
[05:56] <ajmorris_> anticlockwise, but it won't hurt to install that package if you want it though.
[05:56] <ajmorris_> np
[05:56] <dibblego> cables, I'm looking at a ATI x550 specifically
[05:56] <cables> dibblego, I don't know
[05:56] <thadthudpucker> anticlockwise: I have integrated intel graphics, i have no problems without any extra drivers.
[05:56] <_Luks> whereis the apache2 cgi-bin default directory ?
[05:56] <_Luks> whereis the apache2 cgi-bin default directory ?
[05:57] <anticlockwise> thadthudpucker, thanks, I'll try that out then
[05:57] <dibblego> !graphics
[05:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about graphics - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:57] <Steil> I'm using evolution to connect to an imap server....but it keeps listing all the dot files as well as my mail folders....is there anyway to fix this?
[05:58] <danny500> Hello?
[05:58] <thadthudpucker> mon^rch: im dl'ing firestarter now...
[05:58] <mon^rch> :)
[05:59] <toferrado> cables, did not work :/
[05:59] <toferrado> cables, How can I apply a dynamic wallpaper?
[05:59] <cables> toferrado, ok... i don't know how to do it then.
[06:03] (colbert/#ubuntu) can someone help me fix this cron job, here is my crontab: http://pastebin.ca/423417    upon saving and exiting here is the error i keep getting: http://pastebin.ca/423419
[06:03] (anticlockwise/#ubuntu) thadthudpucker, ah, hopefully that the developers of firestarter could consider non-english users as well :)
[06:04] <jimmio> how do I execute a .rpm file?
[06:05] <mon^rch> jimmio: if you want to install an rpm, use "aline" to convert it to a deb and then install
[06:05] <Chetwin> Oh, here's a good one!
[06:05] <mon^rch> alien*
[06:05] <Chetwin> I installed feisty to "sample it"
[06:05] <thadthudpucker> anticlockwise: well, in a perfect universe, yea, every sentient being would consider every other sentient being, and we wouldnt hve wars.
[06:05] <jimmio> mon^rch: thanks
[06:05] <mon^rch> :)
[06:05] <Chetwin> Little too beta for me, but it loads in 8 seconds with the restricted modules
[06:06] <Marupa> I've got a celeron D, should I enable concurrent booting or not?
[06:06] <jimmio> !alien
[06:06] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[06:06] <anticlockwise> thadthudpucker, yeah, you're right
[06:07] <Chetwin> Can I upgrade just me kernel with the feisty source?
[06:07] <thadthudpucker> anticlockwise: i just wish everybody else was!
[06:07] <Clem> Hi people Any suggestions on what kind of dialup modem to buy that works good with ubuntu?
[06:07] <thadthudpucker> Clem: ill send you one for free....
[06:07] <Chetwin> Clem: here's a suggestion "Get on board with the broadband"
[06:07] <Chetwin> Sorry
[06:07] <xzai> www.youtube.com
[06:07] <thadthudpucker> Clem: you want two?
[06:08] <Chetwin> That was rude
[06:08] <anticlockwise> thadthudpucker, maybe they are
[06:08] <ajmorris_> anyone running virtualbox with windows XP or vista here?
[06:08] <xzai> http://www.youtube.com
[06:08] <xzai> its down
[06:08] <Marupa> ajmorris_: me.
[06:08] <xzai> viacom owned them
[06:08] <Chetwin> ajmorris: it workse with vm ware and xp
[06:08] <thadthudpucker> anticlockwise: its just a lot of people dont show it!
[06:08] <cables> ajmorris_, yeah, running xp.
[06:08] <Chetwin> ajmorris: Never tried it with vista
[06:08] <LadyNikon> why do we care about youtube here?
[06:08] <cables> !offtopic
[06:08] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:08] <narayana> hi, i've installed ubuntu server just to play around and i've accidently selected azerty keyboard, how would i change that to qwerty?
[06:08] <xzai> best website on earth
[06:08] <bimberi> Clem: any external modem should work.  It's pci 'winmodems' that are the problem.
[06:08] <genii> Clem Don't buy any winmodems if possible. If you have to buy one get a Lucent winmodem. Otherwise get a good hardware based modem
[06:08] <Clem> I would get broadband if i could when your out in the country dialed up with 2 modems and phonelines just to get a speed of 52.8 with 2 lines
[06:08] <mon^rch> vista-ha-ha-ha-ha
[06:09] <genii> Clem An external one is even better
[06:09] <Marupa> can Celeron D support concurrecy?
[06:09] <Chetwin> I know.  Vista is WEAK
[06:09] <ajmorris_> Marupa or Chetwin, have u installed office 2007 on it?
[06:09] <xzai> maybe we can suggest to them they try ubuntu server so they dont have a problem next time
[06:09] <cables> Marupa, it's a dual-core processor, right?
[06:09] <Marupa> ajmorris_: never.  I never use MS office.
[06:09] <Chetwin> ajmorris: No but I'd rather attempt the install with crossover office, instead of virtualizing
[06:09] <Marupa> cables: I don't know.  how would I check?
[06:09] <cables> ajmorris_, why wouldn't Office work on a VM?
[06:09] <anticlockwise> thadthudpucker, any particular things?
[06:09] <ajmorris_> chetwin, crossover is incapable of running office 2007
[06:10] <Chetwin> Marups: How do you fully compensate for the lack of formatting with openoffice and MS word?
[06:10] <ajmorris_> cables, VM was too slow for me with XP
[06:10] <cables> Chetwin, what do you mean?
[06:10] <Chetwin> ajmorris: doh
[06:10] <Marupa> Chetwin: What do you mean lack of formatting?
[06:10] <mon^rch> office 2k7 sucks anyway
[06:10] <cables> ajmorris_, you need more mRAM
[06:10] <mon^rch> 2k3 is better
[06:10] <Terminus> Chetwin: by writing all my documents in html. =P
[06:10] <thadthudpucker> anticlockwise: well, life, the universe, everything really....
[06:10] <LadyNikon> Chetwin: yeah.. i lost points on a paper.. when i used oo instead of word :/
[06:10] <Clem> Ok off to ebay. I currently have a conexant one. But yes i am looking for an external one. Just wondering on a good brand name.
[06:10] <ajmorris_> cables, VIrtualBox runs it normal speed though
[06:10] <cables> Chetwin, formatting transfers just fine between Office and OpenOffice, even with native Word files
[06:11] <Chetwin> I created a resume and the saved it as a doc, then sent it to a buddy who uses windows, and he said it was all jacked up
[06:11] <Marupa> cables: How would I check if it's dualcore?
[06:11] <pigeonflight> Chetwin: but you can export to PDF
[06:11] <thadthudpucker> anticlockwise: would you like to continue talking in a different venue?
[06:11] <rll> narayana, you should be able to go to System->Keyboard and add the layout you want
[06:11] <cables> Marupa, what do you mean by concurrency?
[06:11] <Chetwin> pigeonflight: that was my first idea, it worked perfect
[06:11] <narayana> i dont have gui
[06:11] <pigeonflight> :)
[06:11] <Chetwin> But to re-edit, it taked aeons
[06:11] <anticlockwise> thadthudpucker, yeah, I would consider that to be more sensible, as this is Ubuntu server
[06:11] <devian> hallo
[06:12] <ajmorris_> anyway my problem with Office 2007 on VirtualBOx (even though none of u r running it) is that it says i need a later version of windows. Anyone running VirtualBox come across this before?
[06:12] <Chetwin> LadyNikon: yeah WEAK
[06:12] <pigeonflight> Chetwin: I guess you didn't have the original
[06:12] <Marupa> cables: I'm following a Ubuntu tweaking guide that says if you hahve a dual core/ht/mt proc, enable concurrency.
[06:12] <ajmorris_> like with another app that needs xp or greater?
[06:12] <Chetwin> pigeonflight: That's not really my point.
[06:12] <devian> hi can i format any HDD with ubuntu during ubuntu'd live CD ??
[06:12] <Chetwin> pigeonflight: Someone mentioned that you could use Oo instead of MS
[06:13] <Chetwin> pigeonflight, so I contradicted, which may be a matter of opinion
[06:13] <NickGarvey> devian, as long as it isn't in use
[06:13] <devian> the HDD is now RAW,BLANK,no partition is there
[06:13] <pigeonflight> and this is true... I certainly do
[06:13] <Marupa> devian: format /dev/hda1
[06:13] <thadthudpucker> anticlockwise: you have MSN messenger?
[06:13] <cables> Marupa, you have dual-core.
[06:13] <pigeonflight> Chetwin: it depends on the use case, for me it's cool
[06:14] <Marupa> cables how can you tell?
[06:14] <devian> i want to format it with fat32....bcs i need that in that HDD
[06:14] <thadthudpucker> anticlockwise: or do you know of another channel on a different server?
[06:14] <cables> Marupa, 'cause it's a Pentium D.
[06:14] <cables> Marupa, you said so yourself.
[06:14] <Chetwin> But LadyNikon lost points on her paper over formatting issues.  What's wiggity whack
[06:14] <Marupa> cables Celeron D
[06:14] <anticlockwise> thadthudpucker, no, my MSN<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:14] <thadthudpucker> ok.
[06:15] <cables> Marupa, damn, that's not dual-core
[06:15] <Marupa> cables Model 4, Family 14.
[06:15] <anticlockwise> thadthudpucker, I'm off to dinner, it's 12 o'clock here in China
[06:15] <thadthudpucker> anticlockwise: ok, im connected now...
[06:15] <thadthudpucker> WOW!!
[06:16] <cables> Marupa, Celeron D stands for Celeron Desktop, not Celeron Dual, unlike Pentium D which IS dual.
[06:16] <thadthudpucker> ill be here when you get back.
[06:16] <Marupa> cables ok.  That's all I needed.
[06:16] <anticlockwise> thadthudpucker, ok, gotcha
[06:16] <thadthudpucker> ok
[06:16] <thadthudpucker> your message arent going to come in chinese, are they?
[06:17] <anticlockwise> lol, ah, no, of course not
[06:17] <thadthudpucker> hehe
[06:17] <anticlockwise> they'll be in the same language as I speak here
[06:17] <Chetwin> So any help with my restricted modules and boot lag?
[06:17] <thadthudpucker> gives new meaning for me to " world wide web"
[06:17] <wawaw> hey
[06:17] <wawaw> i sent this command:
[06:17] <wawaw> sudo sed -e 's/# deb/deb/g' -e 's/universe$/universe multiverse/g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin
[06:18] <wawaw> but the terminal sent me a error

[06:18] <wawaw> why ?
[06:19] <pixelcrash> does anyone here have experience getting sound drivers to work?
[06:19] <cables> wawaw, looks like a server's down...
[06:19] <wawaw> so i must wait?
[06:19] <Steil> is there a way to set the icon font for the desktop?
[06:20] <Steil> er the font color
[06:20] <cables> wawaw, you could go over there and fix the servers for them...
[06:20] <cables> Steil, System>Preferences>Fonts
[06:20] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, come over to #ubuntuforums-beginners i'll try and help. This channel is too active, lol for me to help u :)
[06:20] <wawaw> cables,  how ?
[06:20] <bschroed> any other amd64 folks having issues with 6.10 crashing during livecd install and regular use once ubuntu is installed? i really want to just get ubuntu working but i get non-stop crashes
[06:21] <cables> wawaw, I'm kidding... sorry.
[06:21] <sbjaved> Why are Dapper's repos so outdated? I thought it was for the long haul...
[06:21] <wawaw> cables,  haha so i must wait then right?
[06:21] <cables> sbjaved, exactly... they don't update them to preserve compatibility and stability.
[06:21] <wawaw> or other way to install java runtime enviroment?
[06:21] <pixelcrash> i have integrated SiS 630 audio card that I can't get working. Tried alsa-project, but the trident driver that i compiled is a "X?" status and didn't work. I have the windows audio driver exe, but not sure if there's a way to wrap the driver to ubuntu. couldn't find it in the forums. anyone have any ideas?
[06:21] <thadthudpucker> can i update dapper to the next one using the ubuntu 6.10 disc?
[06:21] <cables> wawaw, why are you using those weird repositories?
[06:22] <cables> thadthudpucker, you need the Alternate disc
[06:22] <Steil> cables: How do I change the font color, the font preferences doesn't have options for color....
[06:22] <wawaw> cuz here told me the command
[06:22] <nonuda_> how do i setup my workgroup in windows networking?
[06:22] <cables> Steil, oh, I didn't realize that...
[06:22] <sbjaved> I mean at least basic software such as Firefox should be updated for stability reasons...its stuck at 1.5.x!!
[06:22] <cables> wawaw, no, but you added debuntu repositories... you don't need those.
[06:22] <cables> sbjaved, it gets security updates but not program updates.
[06:22] <wawaw> hahaha so what i should do pal
[06:23] <cables> sbjaved, you're supposed to upgrade.
[06:23] <Steil> sbjaved: 1.5.x is stable....
[06:23] <cables> wawaw, I dunno... reverse the changes you made. I don't have enough time right now to do that for you.
[06:23] <pixelcrash> anyone know how to get stubborn sound cards working?
[06:23] <sbjaved> If i would like to install newer versions om Dapper...is there a way?
[06:24] <wawaw> cables,  i didn't do something i wanna install java only that
[06:24] <Crazytom> pixelcrash, is it an x-fi?
[06:24] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, alsa-project should have done the trick as it supports that card : http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=SiS&card=SiS+630.&chip=SI7018&module=trident#Inst
[06:24] <cables> wawaw, sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin
[06:25] <killermach> how to I get "apt-get" to show me all packages with "kernel" in them?
[06:25] <wawaw> cables,  lool just that?
[06:25] <jrib> killermach: apt-cache search kernel
[06:25] <pixelcrash> that card uses the trident driver, i compiled it, but i had no success with modprobe
[06:25] <jrib> !apt > killermach    (killermach, see the private message from ubotu)
[06:25] <bschroed> question... is 6.10 working for anyone with amd64?
[06:25] <cables> wawaw, yeah, but that might not work because of your weird sources.
[06:25] <pixelcrash> it's at "X?" status, which is probably a bad thing
[06:25] <jeff_> is there something special i need to do to run .sh files?
[06:26] <killermach> jrib: thanks.. trying to get an Nvidia 7900GS video driver working
[06:26] <jrib> !nvidia > killermach    (killermach, see the private message from ubotu)
[06:26] <jrib> jeff_: no
[06:26] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, type this into a shell: modinfo soundcore
[06:26] <jrib> jeff_: what exactly are you trying to run?
[06:26] <adorablepuppy> Hello all.
[06:26] <enix> does anyone know how to make firefox go back a page when the backspace key is pressed in FF2, it was this way in FF1.5
[06:26] <mon^rch> woof
[06:27] <jeff_> its a program
[06:27] <jeff_> an installation
[06:27] <jrib> jeff_: of course
[06:27] <jeff_> its just a .sh
[06:27] <jeff_> what do i have to type in command window to run it?
[06:27] <jrib> jeff_: I ask because if it is in the repositories, it is better to use the pacakges
[06:27] <adorablepuppy> enix: about:config, search for backspace
[06:27] <jeff_> its not
[06:27] <pixelcrash> ajmorris_, i get this :

[06:28] <pixelcrash> my bad
[06:29] <adorablepuppy> enix:To be more precise, I believe the exact name for the config setting is browser.backspace_action, you should be able to set it to zero and it'll do back on backspace. :)
[06:29] <sbjaved> um...any way to install Firefox 2 on Dapper without breaking it?
[06:29] <jrib> !firefox > sbjaved    (sbjaved, see the private message from ubotu)
[06:30] <LuxVoodoo> Hey, all. have ? about fonts. Use default Sans font on everything Ubuntu. Use firefox and have the FF default fonts installed there. But in form boxes like on LiveJournal, Myspace etc. my type looks light. Any ideas?
[06:30] <nonuda_> currently i have setup shared folders in my ubuntu 6.10, but windows networking detect my my workgroup as "workgroup", how do i change it?
[06:30] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, it returned that you don't have the alsa module go here to fix this problem.: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=SiS&card=SiS+630.&chip=SI7018&module=trident#Inst
[06:30] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, post back if your sound doesn't work after following those steps
[06:30] <sbjaved> Thankyou
[06:30] <Inuyaga> anyone got any experience with installing on a Promise SuperTrack EX8350 RAID 0?
[06:30] <enix> adorablepuppy: any idea on value, dn't see anything but browser.backspace_action: default-integer-1
[06:30] <thadthudpucker> cables, thanks
[06:31] <Inuyaga> cant find anything beyond compile your own driver...
[06:31] <pixelcrash> those are the steps i've been following for the past few hours, ajmorris_
[06:31] <Inuyaga> and Ubuntu's LiveCD does not make that easy
[06:31] <enix> adorablepuppy: nm, got it
[06:31] <enix> adorablepuppy: thanks for tip
[06:31] <adorablepuppy> np
[06:31] <pixelcrash> i'm willing to assume i've done something wrong, but i don't know what it is
[06:31] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, oh my bad. The output should have shown that you are using alsa though
[06:32] <pixelcrash> yeah...
[06:32] <pixelcrash> is there a way to get the whole source package somehow
[06:32] <nonuda_> !workgroup
[06:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about workgroup - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:32] <pixelcrash> maybe i'm missing chunks
[06:32] <devian> hallo how can i format the new HDD with xUbuntu? this is blank now
[06:32] <devian> can it be done with live Linux mode??
[06:32] <BrianG> !cinco midi file organizer
[06:33] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, where did u download the source from?
[06:34] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, and did you try the alsa drivers from the ubuntu repos?
[06:34] <stanner> i need some help with e2fsck
[06:35] <pixelcrash> ajmorris_, ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub
[06:35] <stanner> how do you fix a sort read when running e2fsck
[06:35] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, damn have to login to access that
[06:35] <pixelcrash> i only downloaded the driver, lib, and utils, though, since that's all it talks about
[06:36] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, did you try the alsa-base from the repos?
[06:36] <pixelcrash> that might help, let me check
[06:37] <glguy> Are there Linux drivers to provide hardware OpenGL support for legacy ATI Radeon 64MB VIVO cards?
[06:37] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, and maybe check out the alsa-tools-gui package too
[06:37] <stanner> Have you checked the ati site for legacy drivers yet?
[06:37] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, and the alsa utilities one
[06:38] <glguy> when I checked the site, and all the cards older than radeion 7000 were lumped into legacy
[06:38] <glguy> I didn't hold on to much hope
[06:38] <glguy> but I thought I'd ask before I moved on
[06:38] <sorcere12> gave me this error :
[06:38] <sorcere12> fatal error:
[06:38] <sorcere12> server is already active for display 0
[06:38] <sorcere12> if this server is no longer running remove /tmp/xo-lock
[06:38] <sorcere12> and start again.
[06:38] <sorcere12> sorry
[06:38] <sorcere12> i got this message
[06:39] <sorcere12> could anyone tell me what this means .. iam on a live cd
[06:39] <sorcere12> i have this problem .. my monitor flockers
[06:39] <bullgard4> Using Ubuntu 7.04 I can save the current session by selecting Gnome-Menu System > Preferences > Session > (Sessions) > Session Options > Save the current session. This button does not existin Ubuntu 6.10. How can I save the current session in Ubuntu 6.10?
[06:39] <mon^rch> happy Ubuntuing, and hey check out Linux MCE... wild, just wild
[06:40] <adorablepuppy> Means that the X server was already running, that you tried to start another instance of it. The Xorg lock file is to prevent from starting x on the same display twice.
[06:40] <stanner> bullgard its there
[06:41] <stanner> bullgard you have to click the save current session box
[06:42] <Varsendaggr> where is the nice easy disk management tool?
[06:42] <pixelcrash> ajmorris_, both are installed already
[06:42] <pixelcrash> i got the one labeled alsa-source, too, just in case it helps
[06:43] <wile_e8> I don't think I have a swap partition, and it's causing my computer to freeze a lot.  Would anyone be able to help me figure out what to do to fix it?
[06:43] <adorablepuppy> sorcere12
[06:43] <adorablepuppy> you still here?
[06:43] <pavs> I have used my whole HD to install ubuntu but now I want to try out a differant distro alongside ubuntu how do i "take out" some space from the original installation and install this new distro?
[06:43] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, have u looked through the gui tools?
[06:43] <Flannel> pavs: yeah.  Boot up a liveCD, run a partitioner (gparted) and shrink your partition
[06:43] <glguy> stanner: were you asking me about ATI's site because you didn't know the answer and wanted to respond anyway, or because I had missed something?
[06:43] <pixelcrash> ajmorris_, no, where are they located?
[06:44] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, if the alsa-gui-tools package is installed then they should be in the menu somewhere.
[06:44] <stanner> glguy i had a friend who had to use the legacy drivers because his card was not supported by the newer drivers
[06:45] <Flannel> wile_e8: you can add a swap partition, or a swap file.
[06:45] <stanner> wile_e8: run in a terminal $ sudo fdisk -l and look at what it outputs
[06:46] <Rimal> i have printer Canon LBP 2900, but i can't configure, how can i configure this printer
[06:46] <stanner> should have an entry saying something like /dev/sda5 ............. Linux swap /Solaris
[06:46] <tbuss> need help with lm-sensors. when I sudo sensors -s I get Can't access procfs/sysfs file, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors
[06:46] <tbuss> was compiled with sysfs support! Anyone have any advice
[06:47] <pixelcrash> ajmorris_, i installed the gui-tools, but that just seems to be set up for hammerfall sound cards
[06:47] <pixelcrash> doesn't do anything
[06:47] <wile_e8> stanner: it's weird, I have /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda5 over the same sections (/dev/hda1 is the main partition)
[06:47] <stanner> Rimal: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-LBP-2900
[06:47] <Rimal> zipper, i have printer Canon LBP 2900, but i can't configure, how can i configure this printer
[06:47] <stanner> right
[06:48] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, ok sorry, unless you are getting any error outputs in the shell then i am stumped
[06:48] <stanner> /dev/hda2 ......... Extended?
[06:48] <wile_e8> yeah
[06:48] <pixelcrash> ajmorris_, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[06:49] <pixelcrash> it's uber-lame
[06:49] <stanner> When you run the ubuntu installer guided partitioning, it created an extended partition then the swap partition inside it.
[06:49] <wile_e8> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13831/
[06:49] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, anctually have you experimented with the options in Systems >> Preferences >>sound?
[06:49] <Varsendaggr> !ntfs
[06:49] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:49] <pixelcrash> ajmorris_, yeah, no sound cards listed in it
[06:50] <stanner> wile_e8: yes you have a swap partion
[06:50] <ajmorris_> under sound events and sound playback have you experimented with those?
[06:50] <ajmorris_> and the test button
[06:50] <stanner> wile_e8: are you trying to turn your swap partion on?
[06:50] <louish> hi all.   I want to share a directory i.e. "/home/downloads" with smb and nfs.  Could someone tell me what I should chmod the directory to?  I want r/w access for others.
[06:51] <wawaw> how look my desktop !!  http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=check_download&ufid=FD1182B65F647C87&key=ef1fade4380313f112efaafd50cfe0b63caacb97
[06:51] <Varsendaggr> hey there use to be a easy disk management tool....   hard drives    where is it?
[06:51] <pixelcrash> ajmorris_, tried it, but it made no sound
[06:51] <wile_e8> stanner: yeah, I think so.  I was having lots of freezing, and ran into this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=393733&highlight=amount+of+memory
[06:51] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, is alsa there
[06:51] <pixelcrash> i clicked the test buttons, got no errors, but no sound either
[06:51] <pixelcrash> no
[06:52] <stanner> wile_e8: if you check you fstab, it might not be listed as hda5
[06:52] <wile_e8> stanne: free -m had all zeroes after the swap
[06:52] <Flannel> wile_e8: you need to create a swap partition, or a swap file.
[06:52] <dumezil> ive got a sound question.  my volume control seems messed up.  if i put the volume slider at approx 50%, its like i muted the sound.  only from like 75%-100% does any sound come out.  how do i reset the scale used to figure the volume?
[06:53] <dumezil> i used alsa on an intel HDA onboard sound card
[06:53] <adorablepuppy> So, does ubuntu have GNOME 2.18?
[06:54] <adorablepuppy> I mean available to upgrade to.  .
[06:54] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, i am stumped it obviously can't find the card but i don't know how to fix it at this time :(
[06:54] <ajmorris_> srry
[06:54] <musya> anybody here know of an IDE they like for ubuntu?
[06:54] <stanner> wile_e8: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13834/
[06:54] <adorablepuppy> musya: What language?
[06:54] <stanner> mono develop
[06:55] <stanner> or for just c++ codeblocks
[06:55] <musya> adorablepuppy: c++
[06:55] <stanner> if its c++ check out code blocks
[06:55] <musya> i wasnt a fan of codeblocks
[06:55] <stanner> meh to each his own
[06:55] <adorablepuppy> musya: I really like gedit. It's pretty non-intrusive. Doesn't have options to compile your code, but it's pretty nice.
[06:55] <stanner> i personal dont like the new anjut because they took away the easy compile/run buttons from the toolbar
[06:56] <bimberi> adorablepuppy: feisty (next release) has GNOME 2.18
[06:56] <Varsendaggr> how do i move a folder and keep all of the same permissions?
[06:56] <stanner> lol
[06:56] <musya> it had wierd debugging modes, but i suppose it just takes getting use too
[06:56] <musya> yea gedit and g++ is what i use now
[06:56] <adorablepuppy> bimberi: Will there be a way I can upgrade my Edgy to a fiesty?
[06:56] <bimberi> Varsendaggr: mv folder /path/to/destination
[06:56] <stanner> cp -p <folder> <new folder>
[06:56] <stanner> rm -rf <folder>
[06:56] <bimberi> adorablepuppy: you bet
[06:56] <Flannel> adorablepuppy: yep.  Just like normal updates
[06:56] <Varsendaggr> cool
[06:56] <adorablepuppy> ^_^ sweetness!
[06:56] <bimberi> :)
[06:56] <chowmeined> feisty
[06:57] <chowmeined> is cool
[06:57] <chowmeined> except i wish it came with bacula 2.0.x
[06:57] <adorablepuppy> I'll just wait till it turns stable. :D
[06:57] <Flannel> adorablepuppy: actually, with update-manager, once Feisty is released, you'll be notified of the upgrade automatically.
[06:57] <bimberi> !prevu | chowmeined
[06:57] <ubotu> chowmeined: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details
[06:57] <stanner> if you edit your sources.lst and replace edgy with feisty
[06:57] <wile_e8> stanner: I don't know what's up with mine, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13831/
[06:57] <adorablepuppy> Flannel: excellent! I always install my updates right when they come out.
[06:57] <chowmeined> bimberi: no I mean even feisty doesn't have bacula 2.0.x
[06:57] <chowmeined> I would have to compile it from source
[06:58] <Flannel> stanner: no.  That's not the recommended upgrade method anymore
[06:58] <stanner> wile_e8: sorry that was my fstab
[06:58] <stanner> Flannel: My b
[06:58] <bimberi> chowmeined: you can backport from debian sid.  as long as the dependencies don't get too complicated.  that is assuming sid has 2.0.x
[06:58] <stanner> what would you sugguest then fallenl?
[06:59] <chowmeined> bimberi: ah ok cool
[06:59] <Nubbie> hey guys, i have an annoying little problem. i have a cdrom disk mounted somewhere, yet i have no cd in my drives, there is no entry in fstab, and it is not mounted in /media. can somebody help me get to the bottom of this?
[06:59] <adorablepuppy> musya: I guess I wouldn't know a good C/C++ IDE, I rarely ever write in C/C++. Mostly just C# and Python.
[06:59] <Varsendaggr> stanner, i am getting ommiting directory    ".wine"
[07:00] <stanner> use sudo
[07:00] <stanner> so
[07:00] <wile_e8> stanner: yeah, I was just trying to figure out why mine looked so different
[07:00] <ajmorris_> pixelcrash, a few more things u could try : http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/03/msg01262.html
[07:00] <NDAKOTA> c# IDE for linux?
[07:00] <adorablepuppy> cat /proc/mounts?
[07:00] <adorablepuppy> NDAKOTA monodevelop
[07:00] <bimberi> !monodevelop
[07:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about monodevelop - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: me?
[07:01] <bimberi> !info monodevelop
[07:01] <ubotu> monodevelop: C#/Boo/Java/Nemerle/ILasm Development Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 1695 kB, installed size 5344 kB
[07:01] <adorablepuppy> Yeah, Nubbie cat /proc/mounts
[07:01] <NDAKOTA> 5mb?
[07:01] <louish> hi all.   I want to share a directory i.e. "/home/downloads" with smb and nfs.  Could someone tell me what I should chmod the directory to?  I want r/w access for others.
[07:01] <dumezil> in the keyboard shortcuts control, ive set a key for volume up and volume down.  what does that control?  when i have the mixer open, and i press vol up/down, every channel goes up or down.  i want these buttons to just control one channel, the PCM channel.  anyone know anything about this?
[07:01] <bimberi> NDAKOTA: yes, it might have some other dependencies though
[07:01] <stanner> c# ide would be mono develop
[07:01] <stanner> as far as i know
[07:02] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: http://pastebin.ca/423448 i should also mention i'm using Feisty.
[07:02] <stanner> Varsendaggr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13835/
[07:02] <bimberi> s/other/not-already-installed/
[07:02] <NDAKOTA> does it use a simulator? that would be slow when doing debugging
[07:02] <Varsendaggr> stanner, thanks
[07:03] <musya> adorablepuppy: you ever make websties with python?
[07:03] <stanner> no no simulator
[07:03] <NDAKOTA> i guess tere's no other way
[07:03] <bimberi> NDAKOTA: no idea sorry - i know it exists, but that's the extent of myk knowledge
[07:03] <stanner> have you ever uses beagle fsport or tomboynotes?
[07:03] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: is it because edgy mounted my cdrom drives via UUID?
[07:03] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie: Can't be any of these, all these are mounted read-write.
[07:03] <Nubbie> all three of those applications are killer!
[07:03] <Nubbie> banshee too <-- :)
[07:04] <LeoNz> Is there a tutorial where i can find out how to install ndiswrapper?
[07:04] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: isn't it strange? after an upgrade it just never went away. as far as i know the drive is still functioning and mounting properly
[07:04] <stanner> sorry but im more of an amorok + mysql fan lol but i do like banshee and it is pretty sweet
[07:04] <adorablepuppy> musya: I wrote a page in python once, but then I decided I didnt like mod_python and went back to php.
[07:04] <Crazytom> LeoNz, do you know what chipset you have?
[07:05] <adorablepuppy> Nubbia, you sure it's mounted?
[07:05] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie*
[07:05] <LeoNz> yeh i already know what to get, i jsut need to find out how to install ndiswrapper
[07:05] <NDAKOTA> anyone familiar with the python scripting interface bounty?
[07:05] <LeoNz> but i have a broadcom one
[07:05] <musya> adorablepuppy: why was that? that you didnt like it?
[07:05] <stanner> LeoNz: if your running edgy or dapper you can use automatix
[07:05] <LeoNz> automatix?
[07:05] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: well there is an icon stuck to my desktop... can't delete it.
[07:05] <stanner> well
[07:05] <stanner> automatix2
[07:05] <stanner> but yes
[07:06] <NDAKOTA> leoNz, type ndiswrapper and see if it's already installed
[07:06] <stdin> LeoNz:, stanner: DON'T use automatix
[07:06] <Nubbie> !automatix
[07:06] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[07:06] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie: Right click, unmount volume
[07:06] <stanner> why not?
[07:06] <LeoNz> stdin no it isnt isntalled
[07:06] <stdin> stanner: read message from ubotu
[07:06] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: just has eject
[07:06] <LeoNz> ndkota no it isnt installed
[07:06] <louish> Is there a way I can index a NAS box with beagle?
[07:06] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie, that work then?
[07:06] <NDAKOTA> leoNz, use synaptic to install ndiswrapper
[07:06] <LeoNz> ah k
[07:07] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: um no... it didn't eject the disc.
[07:07] <NDAKOTA> LeoNz, have you tried it
[07:07] <Nubbie> (i put one in there just now)
[07:07] <Crazytom> LeoNz, is it a bcm4306?
[07:07] <LeoNz> im gonna tryin it now ndakota
[07:07] <LeoNz> yes crazytom
[07:07] <Crazytom> LeoNz, wait then
[07:07] <LeoNz> kk
[07:07] <Crazytom> LeoNz, are you using feisty?
[07:07] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie, try lookin at /proc/partitions I really can't tell what's what.
[07:07] <NDAKOTA> leoNz, I've had success using ndiswrapper
[07:08] <stanner> yeah yeah i read it **never had problem with it personally but understands position**
[07:08] <NDAKOTA> LeoNz, just remember to disable the already installed native bcm driver
[07:08] <LeoNz> no im not usin feisty crazy
[07:08] <NDAKOTA> because it conflicts with ndiswrapper
[07:08] <adorablepuppy> ^_~ my wireless has a native driver.
[07:08] <Crazytom> NDAKOTA, ndiswrapper is a giant pain in the ass with bcm4306
[07:08] <LeoNz> how do i disable it dakota
[07:08] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: http://pastebin.ca/423452
[07:08] <Crazytom> fwcutter works alot better
[07:09] <Nubbie> doesn't look out of the ordinary...
[07:09] <stanner> e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while checking ext3 journal for /dev/sdb1
[07:09] <stanner> anyone got a fix
[07:09] <LeoNz> hmm so what should i do crazytom and ndakota
[07:10] <NDAKOTA> rmmod bcm43xx
[07:10] <yin> Hello everybody ,Is there some primary c/c++ progaramming book???
[07:10] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie, looks a little outta the ordinary to me. You have hda, which I'm assuming is your hard drive. I wonder what dm-0/1/2 is. . . .
[07:10] <Crazytom> fwcutter would be way easier
[07:10] <adorablepuppy> ls -l /dev/cdrom
[07:10] <NDAKOTA> then use ndiswrapper to load bcm windows driver
[07:10] <stanner> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13838/
[07:10] <Crazytom> why are you telling him to use ndiswrapper when his native driver will work fine?
[07:10] <NDAKOTA> I don't recommend using the native driver for bcm43xx
[07:11] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: madm or something?
[07:11] <Crazytom> LeoNz, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[07:11] <NDAKOTA> LeoNz, lsmod bcm    is it listed
[07:11] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: my fstab: http://pastebin.ca/423452
[07:12] <LeoNz> usage: lsmod?
[07:12] <bschroed> anyone here successfully running ubuntu 6.10 on amd64?
[07:12] <LeoNz> dont think it is
[07:13] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie, just wanna see where /dev/cdrom links to. use ls -l /dev/cdrom and report back the findings.
[07:13] <NDAKOTA> LeoNz, if you intend to use ndiswrapper, delete the bcm43xx driver file, and then install ndiswrapper
[07:13] <Nubbie> !anyone | bschroed
[07:13] <ubotu> bschroed: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:13] <LeoNz> kk
[07:13] <Crazytom> LeoNz, do you want to use your native driver or do you want to install ndiswrapper and blacklist your other driver
[07:13] <stanner> bschroed: well what do you mean running x86_64 or running 386?
[07:13] <LeoNz> install ndiswrapper and blacklist
[07:13] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-04-01 00:32 /dev/cdrom -> hdc   (which should be correct)
[07:14] <bschroed> stanner: running 6.10 for amd64, not x86_64
[07:14] <adorablepuppy> Ok. Then sudo umount /dev/hdc
[07:14] <RyanRyan52> When I go to Ctrl+Alt+F1, use it, then go to Ctrl+Alt+F7 it has a blinking white screen, I am using the Feisty beta, how can i fix this?
[07:14] <adorablepuppy> And it should disappear from your desktop
[07:14] <Crazytom> go for it then
[07:14] <Crazytom> LeoNz, good luck
[07:14] <Nubbie> its not mounted <---
[07:14] <RyanRyan52> i have to unplug it to fix and restart
[07:14] <stanner> bschroed: i dont get what you mean
[07:14] <LeoNz> thanks crazytom
[07:14] <cables> @lart 8 doesthisworkinhere
[07:15] <Nubbie> crazypuppy: thats the problem: its not mounted.
[07:15] <Crazytom> LeoNz, i have a bcm4306 and after 3 hours of playing with ndiswrapper i used fwcutter and had it running in 10 minutes
[07:15] <bschroed> stanner: from what i understand, i think x86_64 technically refers to Intel's 64 bit chips, as opposed to amd's 64 bit arch
[07:15] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie: And the cd icon still appears on your desktop?
[07:15] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: yes that's the issue i think.
[07:16] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: i thought it was something not unmounting correctly, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
[07:16] <bschroed> stanner: i've tried installing and running 6.10 on my amd64 machine (newcastle 3200+ 2.2ghz) but I keep getting frequent crashes.  one time i was able to do the install quick enough before the livecd installer crashed, but now the installed-6.10 crashes too
[07:16] <stanner> bschroed: no. first amd had 64 out before intel. second, it works for both amd and intel. and third the "preformace gains" you get from running x86_64 are minimal compared to the "easy of use" gained from just running 386
[07:16] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: can i do something with nautilus to remove it? (i think there's a gconfkey... i'll try that)
[07:16] <jpsamara> The 64 bit extensions to IA32 were developed by amd and they are x86_64... intel call it emt64 but its the same
[07:17] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie: Maybe the auto mounter didn't clean it up. Is there a folder left in /media for the cdrom?
[07:17] <RyanRyan52> When I go to Ctrl+Alt+F1, use it, then go to Ctrl+Alt+F7 it has a blinking white screen, I am using the Feisty beta, how can i fix this???i have to unplug it to fix it and restart
[07:17] <Flannel> RyanRyan52: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support
[07:17] <bschroed> stanner: okay i guess i'll just try the 386 build to try to get rid of the crashes
[07:17] <bschroed> jpsamara: ah ok thanks for the clarification
[07:17] <RyanRyan52> thanks

[07:17] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:17] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: there is nothing but cdrom, cdrom0, and cdrom1 in /media. none of these folders has any contents.
[07:18] <LeoNz> crazytom: i sent a PM
[07:18] <stanner> bschroed: i have an amd 64 x2 4400 2.2 ghz and i ran x86_64 for a while but tring to get flas/java/embede video working *easily* and the lack of other things like wine made me go back to just the 386. when runing the 2.6.*-*-generic it also detecs that i have dual core
[07:18] <jpsamara> stanner> did anyone benchmark i386 x x86_64 ? I think that because 64 has double the registers visible to the compiler, gcc would generate much faster binaries
[07:19] <Nubbie> coldboot: welcome my ontario friend.
[07:19] <Crazytom> LeoNz, if you aren't registered it won't show up
[07:19] <LeoNz> oh ok
[07:19] <LeoNz> well how do i use fwcutter
[07:19] <LeoNz> ?
[07:19] <coldboot> Nubbie: Hello there, not for long!
[07:19] <coldboot> Nubbie: I'm looking for a job out west
[07:19] <NDAKOTA> LeoNz,you can pm me
[07:19] <LeoNz> i already did, it didnt sent
[07:19] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie: Hmm. I've got no idea what's up. :( One thing you could do is get the Gnome Configuration Manager up, goto apps->nautilus->desktop and untick the box that says volumes visible.
[07:19] <dougie> anyone use gimp much?
[07:19] <LeoNz> lol
[07:19] <Nubbie> coldboot: good luck. theres no lack of jobs out there.
[07:19] <Crazytom> have you blacklisted or deleted anything?
[07:19] <NDAKOTA> LeoNz, you don't need fwcutter
[07:19] <stanner> jpsamara: i looked at some online bench marks and your right. when running gcc or some video encoding taks you do get a preformance gain. However thats where the gains stop for the most part.
[07:20] <coldboot> How would you use find to find files modified between now and two days ago? I know you can use -mtime +x to determine what was modfied 2 days or more ago, but not the other way around...
[07:20] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: thats what i was just doing. thanks anyways for your help, and personally, i don't like icons mounted on the desktop anyways.
[07:20] <Crazytom> NDAKOTA, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[07:20] <LeoNz> i think i dleeted it already crazytom
[07:20] <stanner> -mtime -x?
[07:20] <stanner> i need some help with ext3 corruption
[07:20] <Crazytom> then go with NDAKOTA but if you still can't get it working after awhile then hit me up
[07:20] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie, me either. All I got on my desktop is the computer, documents folder and home folder. That's the way I like to keep it.
[07:20] <LeoNz> kk
[07:20] <bschroed> stanner: cool.  yeah i've tried x86_64 in the past without crashes and i was able to get by with a chroot but it was a pain to try to get some packages working (flash plugin, etc.)
[07:21] <LeoNz> Ndaktoa: im havin trouble installin ndiswrapper, im gettin errors after "sudo make isntall"
[07:21] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: lol lots of times i get lots of pictures collecting up on my desktop. i just throw them all in ~/Desktop/.shit/ until i can sort them out ;D
[07:21] <NDAKOTA> LeoNz, use the synaptic package manager to install ndiswrapper
[07:21] <Crazytom> LeoNz, sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[07:21] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie: I got one of them too! It's .stuff! :D
[07:22] <stanner> bschroed: i was able to eventually get flas and java ect but not embeded video. also i had to run the 32 bit version of FF anyway so i didnt see the point since i dont do much compiling cept wine and x11vnc
[07:22] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie: Well I used to.... I tarred it up and encrypted it. Haven't touched it since.
[07:22] <louish> I'm trying to mount a smb mount but I get the following!  smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (1000,1000).  I'm not sure what it means?
[07:22] <bullgard4> Using Ubuntu 7.04 I can save the current session by selecting Gnome-Menu System > Preferences > Session > (Sessions) > Session Options > Save the current session. This button does not existin Ubuntu 6.10. How can I save the current session in Ubuntu 6.10?
[07:23] <stanner> bullgard4: i said earlier that there is a check box on the first tab that says save my session
[07:23] <jpsamara> Can someone explain me how do I register my nickname on freenode?
[07:23] <bullgard4> stanner: When did you say that?

[07:27] <CountDown> Two weeks ago I could record audio using the Sound Recorder application that comes standard with Ubuntu, but trying the same thing now results in a silent recording.  I don't remember changing anything about my system except making the usual security updates.  Any ideas?
[07:27] <stanner> n-ice: when you plug in your usb flash drive what happens?
[07:27] <Epic720> I can't get Ubuntu 6.10 to install on my older pentium hp
[07:27] <NDAKOTA> LeoNz, just search for "ndiswrapper" in the search field, and check it for installation
[07:27] <Crazytom> LeoNz, just type this into a terminal sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[07:27] <NDAKOTA> then click "install marked"
[07:28] <adorablepuppy> stanner: It's more fun to watch them writhe in pain after they've screwed up. :)
[07:28] <Epic720> Everytime I select to install my computer reboots
[07:28] <feba> CountDown, hate to be too obvious, but have you checked the mute switch on your mic?
[07:28] <Epic720> can anyone help me?
[07:28] <LeoNz> ok done
[07:28] <Yggdrasil> is there a way to change the icons on the desktop and menubar to on a single click ?
[07:28] <n-iCe> stanner nothing
[07:28] <Ali_ix> Epic720: you may try xubuntu as a lighter version. if it is related to resource limits
[07:28] <n-iCe> doesn't appear but with lsusb appear
[07:29] <kaitrek> Epic720 you mean, after you installed ubuntu from CD, and you start loading, right after GRUB, the PC reboots?
[07:29] <feba> Yggdrasil yes, lemme see if I can find it
[07:29] <NDAKOTA> the one synpatic provides is already compiled version for ubuntu, if you do it manually you'll have to compile it
[07:29] <Epic720> can I run all the same applications
[07:29] <stanner> adorablepuppy: hahah yeah but i cant not tell them to since i help alot of people in my dorm with it and one wants xgl the other wants big view and id rather not tell them "just reonstall to fix it" when something goes wrong
[07:29] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: clean desktop once more. OCD was going off the scale for the past little while.
[07:29] <Yggdrasil> feba im looking too
[07:29] <CountDown> feba: Yeah, I looked for something like that, but didn't find anything.  Where would you look?
[07:29] <Epic720> yes, right after I see it say "unpacking kernel"
[07:29] <LeoNz> ndakota i think i installed it
[07:29] <Nubbie> adorablepuppy: thanks for trying. have a good night.
[07:29] <adorablepuppy> stanner: I think gedit automagically makes a backup.
[07:29] <LeoNz> yeh i did
[07:29] <feba> Usually they're on the side of the headset or on the volume control
[07:29] <adorablepuppy> Nubbie: np. YHave a nice night.
[07:29] <kaitrek> yep, i have the same problem with ubuntu-server edition, :(
[07:30] <stanner> n-ice: if you run $  fdisk -l
[07:30] <Nubbie> gedit makes backups with a tilde (~) in the same folder as the original file.
[07:30] <n-iCe> wanna know the anser?
[07:30] <feba> Yggdrasil, open Nautilus
[07:30] <feba> then click edit -> preferences -> behavoir
[07:30] <kaitrek> looks like a bug in the release :/
[07:30] <stanner> adorablepuppy: yeah to like xorg.conf~ but what if he uses nano/vim
[07:30] <feba> and it's the first option
[07:30] <Epic720> I put the disk in, got the ubuntu install menu, selected the text mode and any other mode I could try.
[07:30] <bullgard4> stanner: In my Ubuntu 6.10 there are 3 check boxes: 'Show splash screen when logging in', 'Assertain when logging out', and 'save automatically changes of the session'. There is no check box 'save my session' as you stated.
[07:30] <adorablepuppy> I think he had a command like gksudo gedit goin. :O)\
[07:31] <Epic720> at first I was getting the "unknown interrupt or fault at EIP"
[07:31] <Epic720> now I am trying the alternative CD
[07:31] <n-iCe> stanner a lot of things...
[07:31] <stanner> well i didnt read it the firts time thats why when i resated it i quoted it
[07:31] <Yggdrasil> febu thanks
[07:31] <stanner> also there is the add button
[07:31] <NDAKOTA> if you have the windows bcm driver handy, try loading it using ndiswrapper
[07:31] <feba> np, enjoy
[07:31] <stanner> doesnt that let you save your session profile?
[07:32] <arooni> hey question about evolution:  does it offer auto complete on the TO field like outlook does?  (its not enabled by default)
[07:32] <Yggdrasil> eh feba even
[07:32] <Yggdrasil> thanks
[07:32] <kaitrek> Epic720 damn it.., did you say you could install it or you couldn't get ubuntu to load right after you installed it?
[07:32] <LeoNz> kk
[07:32] <stanner> n-ice: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and paste what it says when you run that command then give me the link
[07:32] <kaitrek> Epic720 damn it.., did you say you couldN'T install it or you couldn't get ubuntu to load right after you installed it?
[07:32] <Epic720> I coulnd not get it to install
[07:32] <feba> I don't mind being called Febu. Pretty much anything with "feb" in it is fine. I even named my PC Febuntu :p
[07:32] <stanner> this is my studying for the Linux+ exam lol

[07:32] <drcode> I fix the nvidia problem
[07:33] <kaitrek> ah diff. problem, i can't get it to run ubuntu cuz it just keeps restarting 0.5 seconds after GRUB begins loading the system
[07:33] <drcode> I am using program dvdrecord in console
[07:33] <n-iCe> stanner how can i paste it?
[07:33] <drcode> It can also burn files
[07:33] <n-iCe> is in other pc
[07:33] <drcode> not iso?
[07:33] <Epic720> so you can't help me?
[07:33] <feba> Is your hard drive corrupted?
[07:33] <kaitrek> no
[07:33] <feba> have you checked?
[07:33] <Epic720> is there anyone who can help me?
[07:33] <adorablepuppy> arooni: I dont think so, but the To button is a button that brings up your contact list.
[07:33] <stanner> n-ice: waht do you mean its in other pc?
[07:33] <arooni> adorablepuppy: is there anyway to have auto complete on any client?
[07:33] <arooni> thunderbird etc...
[07:33] <arooni> i live for that feature
[07:34] <bullgard4> stanner: May be but I do not know under what circumstances the changes will be saved.
[07:34] <Epic720> I am trying to install ubuntu 6.10 on an older HP computer, seconds after selecting "Install a server" my computer reboots
[07:34] <Epic720> can anyone help me?
[07:34] <stanner> bullgard4: if you click the thid check box, and you have aim open and FF open and you log back in, they should both open back up.
[07:34] <adorablepuppy> arooni: Dunno. I uninstalled my thunderbird. I use evolution. Though I only ever mail 3-4 people at a time.

[07:36] <tonyyarusso> jeff_: System > Preferences > Menu Layout

[07:37] <feba> Epic720: and how much RAM does it have?
[07:37] <Epic720> it was donated to me from a friend

[07:37] <Epic720> *gig
[07:37] <bimberi> Epic720: have you verified the cd and the iso its burned from
[07:37] <feba> sounds like a RAM problem to me, ubuntu's live CD lives on RAM I beleive, and ubuntu itself needs 256MB
[07:37] <feba> oh, well then
[07:37] <Epic720> yes, I dled several ISOS from the ubuntu site
[07:37] <adorablepuppy> arooni: Acutally I'm wrong. It does have autocomplete.
[07:37] <feba> Did you do an MD5 ChkSum though?
[07:38] <adorablepuppy> arooni: to people on your contact list.
[07:38] <thadthudpucker> i have a palm treo 650 and wpuld like to get it to open up so i can get the old contact list downloaded from it. any suggestions?
[07:38] <Epic720> while the burned copy was in the server or before i burned it?
[07:38] <naknomik> trying feisty, mouse (PS2) doesn't work at all... its all "jumpy"
[07:38] <stanner> n-ice: when i run the command, it outputs on line 10 Disk /dev/sdc: 1024 MB
[07:38] <B_B_B> is there a RAM chacker from the live cd to help Epic?
[07:38] <B_B_B> chacker=checker
[07:39] <stanner> n-ice: since i know my usb disk is 1gb or 1024mb then i know that my usbdisk is detected
[07:39] <stanner> another way to check
[07:39] <stanner> woudl be lsusb
[07:39] <thepumpkin1979> hi. somebody here is using Novell Project Hosting?
[07:39] <n-iCe> stanner yeeah i know how

[07:39] <sontek> I'm trying to play an ogg theora video from ubuntu feisty
[07:39] <sontek> http://rafb.net/p/hoI2g416.html  what does that error mean?
[07:39] <stanner> but is it showing up in the firstplace?
[07:39] <arooni> adorablepuppy: howd you do autocomplete
[07:39] <stanner> like under fdisk?
[07:39] <arooni> adorablepuppy: whad you need to do... add a bunch of contacts?
[07:40] <don_j> yo yo. where do I configure my gnu/linux system to use dhcp for network configuration?
[07:40] <feba> naknomik: it could be a problem with the mouse, I know my laser mouse loves to randomly spurt across the screen...especially in FPS...
[07:40] <adorablepuppy> arooni: You must have the person in your contacts. I don't think it'll go by the people you have gotten mail from.
[07:40] <n-iCe> stanner the usb is detected i just want a command like no idea, open /adv/usb/
[07:40] <feba> don_j: net-setup?
[07:40] <n-iCe> exist?
[07:40] <stanner> don_j: it uses dhcp by defualt. what version are you running
[07:40] <feba> on your comand line
[07:40] <n-iCe> or what can i do to see my files
[07:40] <stanner> ohh
[07:40] <stanner> ok
[07:40] <[Spooky] > Is there any "Music making" programs for Ubuntu?
[07:40] <stanner> then
[07:40] <don_j> feba: cant I do it in a configuration file instead?
[07:41] <feba> [Spooky] : yes. Check Add/Remove Applications
[07:41] <arooni> adorablepuppy: another question... do you know how to make the reading pane to the right of recieved mail (instead of below it ) ?:
[07:41] <feba> don_j: I don't know. For me, ubuntu didn't even need me to click a networking wizard, I just plugged it in and it worked with my network card
[07:42] <don_j> feba: Now I have to manually run the dhclient3 to get it working
[07:42] <stanner> n-ice:sudo mkdir /media/usb
[07:42] <stanner> sudo mount /dev/<usbdevice> /media/usb
[07:42] <stanner> that will atleast let you read it
[07:42] <feba> don_j: this is ubuntu you're talking about?
[07:42] <n-iCe> which one
[07:42] <don_j> feba: yes but with no gdm running
[07:42] <adorablepuppy> arooni: I'm not entirely sure you can. . .
[07:42] <arooni> sweet!!!!!! figured it out
[07:42] <feba> What's wrong with dhclient?
[07:43] <stanner> n-ice: which one what?
[07:43] <adorablepuppy> arooni: Really? What was it?
[07:43] <n-iCe> of the commands i need to use
[07:43] <n-iCe> both ?
[07:43] <arooni> adorablepuppy: view ==> preview ==> vertical view
[07:43] <stanner> yes
[07:43] <thadthudpucker> i have a palm treo 650 and would like to get it to open up in ubuntu so i can get the old contact list downloaded from it. any suggestions?
[07:43] <arooni> i love this view
[07:43] <don_j> feba: nothing. it's just that it doesnt autostart
[07:43] <n-iCe> how can i know my usbdevice ?
[07:43] <stanner> just replace <usbdevice> with sdb1 or sda1 or what ever it shows up as under fstab
[07:43] <n-iCe> let me see
[07:43] <stanner> not fstab i mean fdisk
[07:43] <adorablepuppy> arooni: I see. Well, glad you got it goin. :)
[07:44] <feba> don_j: I beleive there is a way to make things run automatically on boot. Google it- then just make something that says "run this"
[07:44] <Crazytom> !palm
[07:44] <ubotu> A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB
[07:44] <feba> bit of a dirty work around, but hey
[07:44] <Crazytom> !palm > thadthudpucker
[07:44] <stanner> need help with ext3/2 corruption
[07:44] <ndlovu> hi all. pastebin is complaining that I'm a spammer because I don't have JavaScript enabled; but JavaScript *is* enabled. Any ideas how to fix it?
[07:45] <feba> thadthudpucker: a Palm probably can't run Ubuntu...aside from hardware limitations, the point of a Palm is that it uses Palm OS, which means your contact list will likely not load in ubuntu, even if it does work
[07:45] <stanner> ndlovu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[07:45] <stanner> lol
[07:45] <n-iCe> stanner brb i will check
[07:45] <stanner> ok
[07:45] <ndlovu> stanner: that's what I'm using
[07:45] <stanner> ahh well shoot
[07:45] <stanner> lol
[07:45] <thadthudpucker> thanks!
[07:45] <stanner> google patesbin
[07:45] <stanner> lol
[07:46] <Epic720> I did the MD5 checksum and it came back the same.
[07:46] <ndlovu> "You appear to be spamming the pastebin.  If you're not attempting to spam, please enable javascript so you can pass the antispam check"
[07:46] <adorablepuppy> arooni: You can also schedule tasks by clicking the time, then double clicking a day. If you use the calendar anyway.
[07:46] <stanner> you using FF
[07:46] <ndlovu> stanner, yup
[07:46] <arooni> adorablepuppy: do you send email thru gmails smtp?
[07:46] <stanner> and have you tried quitting then opening
[07:47] <stanner> FF again?
[07:47] <Epic720> feba, the checksum was good. Can you help me?
[07:47] <adorablepuppy> arooni: No, I don't. I use my company's smtp. . .
[07:47] <don_j> could it be in some runlevel script that I have to do something to autostart dhclient3?
[07:47] <Epic720> btw, I just realized that I switched to 6.06 alternative CD
[07:47] <stanner> ndlovu: *that sentience did require 2 lines in case you were wondering*
[07:48] <stanner> lol
[07:48] <dyfrgi> Hi folks. I'm installing Edgy, and in the "install base system step", it freezes at 73% with the message "creating device files".
[07:48] <feba> Sorry epic, i've no idea ;/
[07:49] <adorablepuppy> Well all, it's been swell, but the swelling has gone down. I'm gonna get outta here. :D
[07:49] <Epic720> well thanks anyways
[07:49] <Steil> are there any bittorrent clients out that support encryption? (my network blocks torrent traffic)
[07:49] <ndlovu> stanner, :). yup. closed FF and reopened and it's still calling me a spammer
[07:49] <feba> dyfrgi: is the partition large enough?
[07:49] <dyfrgi> If I look at the output of ps ax in a shell, I see an apt-get process: apt-get -y --no-remove install lvm2
[07:49] <dyfrgi> feba: Yup, about 100GB.
[07:49] <feba> Steil:  i'm pretty sure utorrent does, but I don't think it has ubuntu support.
[07:49] <Epic720> can anyone help me, I have a celeron D HP computer that I am trying to install 6.06 on and it reboots before installation
[07:50] <dyfrgi> 99.8GB free, according to df.
[07:50] <feba> dyfrgi: How long have you let it sit there for?
[07:50] <stanner> " My father told me once 'if a guy calls you a horse once you call him a jerk, he calls you a horse twice you punch him in the mouth, he calls you a horse 3 times, well i guess its time to shop for a saddle'" lol
[07:50] <cables> Steil, I hear uTorrent runs well in Wine.
[07:50] <dyfrgi> feba: About 6 hours.
[07:50] <feba> hm
[07:50] <ndlovu> stanner, lol
[07:50] <dyfrgi> IIRC when I tried to run it manually before (chrooting into the target partition), I get an error about the media.
[07:50] <Supaplex> woo! time to get a hamster. http://thorgolucky.com/humor/Hamster_Fighting_Machine.jpg
[07:50] <dyfrgi> Saying "insert this disc".
[07:51] <Enselic`> How do I make sudo cat > /etc/foo work again?
[07:51] <don_j> /etc/network/interfaces lol
[07:51] <dyfrgi> And yes, the MD5 sum is correct.
[07:51] <arooni> man evolution is awesome!!!!!!!!
[07:51] <stanner> ndlovu: sorry but i have been waiting too long to pull that one out just right
[07:51] <Enselic`> arooni: no
[07:51] <stanner> lol
[07:51] <Supaplex> Enselic`: sudo su -c "cat > /etc/foo"
[07:51] <dyfrgi> Enselic`: You have to get into a shell as root. e.g. sudo -s
[07:51] <feba> dyfrgi: hm
[07:51] <arooni> Enselic`: oh noes?  what do you use?
[07:51] <bullgard4> stanner: What do you mean when saying: "and you have aim open"?
[07:51] <meq> anyone know how to get to the restricted drivers manager if its not under the system->administration menu
[07:51] <bschroed> Epic720: I was having similar problems.  are you installing ubuntu for x86_64 perchance?
[07:51] <Enselic`> arooni: Thunderbird, of course
[07:51] <dyfrgi> Supaplex's suggestion also works.

[07:51] <Epic720> no
[07:51] <Epic720> celeron D
[07:51] <Enselic`> dyfrgi: there is another way with 'tie' or something
[07:51] <stanner> bullgard4: gaim*
[07:51] <don_j> why the heck arent the startup steps runnin in parallel?
[07:52] <feba> dyfrgi: could be a bad file
[07:52] <bullgard4> stanner: ok. I will check.
[07:52] <stanner> aim does have a linux client but it is very old and i cant get it to work
[07:52] <Supaplex> Enselic`: the su is slightly redundant. maybe sh -c
[07:52] <feba> dyfrgi: have you tried a different disc, or just the one?
[07:52] <dyfrgi> feba: I've tried a different disc.
[07:52] <stanner> maybe the lot of CDs are bad?
[07:52] <Enselic`> Supaplex: hmm, there is a different way somehow
[07:52] <dyfrgi> feba: I've also checked the MD5 sum of the image and the disc itself against the MD5SUM file on the mirrors.
[07:52] <feba> stanner has a point dyfrgi, could be something wrong with the CD or CDROM
[07:53] <dyfrgi> And run the MD5 checker in the installer.
[07:53] <dyfrgi> Let me get the exact apt error.
[07:53] <feba> Well.
[07:53] <Epic720> feba: I have tried 3 different disks. Originally I was getting an error of "unknown interrupt or fault at EIP ...."
[07:53] <Enselic`> dyfrgi, Supaplex: recalled it now: tee
[07:53] <Supaplex> Enselic`: otherwise, the redirection runs as you. there's | sudo tee /etc/foo   but that'll output to stdout and write to foo. use -a to append.
[07:53] <feba> By chance, have either of you tried installing another form of linux and seeing if that works?
[07:54] <Supaplex> Enselic`: ahh. gmta.
[07:54] <stanner> dyfrgi: have you tried using the alternate install cd?
[07:54] <Enselic`> Supaplex: gmta?
[07:54] <Supaplex> !gmta
[07:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gmta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:54] <dyfrgi> stanner: Already doing so.
[07:54] <Supaplex> Enselic`: great minds think alike
[07:54] <stanner> then have you tried the gui?
[07:54] <dyfrgi> stanner: No mouse on this system currently, so I have no choice there.
[07:54] <stanner> lol
[07:54] <Epic720> I had installed slackware 9. but 10 didn't work and neither did gentoo.
[07:54] <Epic720> or redhat
[07:54] <stanner> hmm
[07:54] <stanner> well
[07:54] <stanner> not true
[07:55] <Supaplex> ubotu: gmta is Great Minds Think Alike
[07:55] <stanner> you could use rat poison
[07:55] <dyfrgi> It's the same code in the backend anyway.
[07:55] <mzanfardino_> I've recently downloaded an mp4 video and I want to burn it to dvd.  Do I need to use transcode (as I would with an AVI file) to prep to burn?  Or is there another tool required?
[07:55] <Enselic`> Supaplex: oh :)
[07:55] <dyfrgi> I have no idea how to make ratpoison run in the installer, stanner.
[07:55] <Epic720> I really hate using win2k and IIS..... can anyone help me
[07:55] <carpediem> is there any chance that Ubuntu released a mysql-client that doesn't work.  It stopped working on all my machines simultaneously it seems.  But I can connect with mysql with JDBC fine.
[07:55] <stanner> and tech with tabs+enter and arrow keys, you could possibly run the gui installer?
[07:55] <dyfrgi> It starts up GNOME and sits there, awaiting input which it can never receive with the input devices I have attached.
[07:56] <bwatson> Question: I'm currently running Breezy Badger (2.6.12-10-386) but need to build some USB drivers under <IP_ADDRESS>.  What's the best way to do this?  Do I need to completely upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu?
[07:56] <_Exile_> can any1 tell me how to get a damn IRC server going on my nix?
[07:56] <stanner> then launch a virtual terminal edit your xorg and remove the devices then hit ctr+alt+backspace
[07:56] <n-iCe> stanner doesn't work
[07:56] <n-iCe> can you tell me the usbs path?
[07:56] <gogeta> hi
[07:56] <dyfrgi> "Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 6.10 _Edgy Eft_ - Release i386 (20061025.1)' into the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
[07:56] <stanner> what usb path
[07:56] <dyfrgi> That's the error I get if I chroot /target /bin/bash and then run apt-get install lvm2
[07:57] <n-iCe> stanner yeah where can i see the usbs !
[07:57] <gogeta> i need to get to the console on the beta live cd init 3 and alt f1 does not work
[07:57] <dyfrgi> That's got to be what it's stalling on in the installer.
[07:57] <stanner> lol
[07:57] <stanner> its fdisk -l or sudo fdisk -l
[07:57] <n-iCe> :/
[07:57] <n-iCe> /1/2/3/4/5/usbs/her/the/info
[07:57] <n-iCe> like that
[07:57] <Madpilot> bwatson, yes - Breezy is about to end support, so it's a good time to upgrade to Dapper, and maybe even past Dapper to Edgy
[07:57] <genii> dyfrgi: open the file /etc/apt/sources.list   by: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list    then put a #   before the cdrom entry. exit and try again
[07:58] <dyfrgi> Huh. /cdrom/README.diskdefines gives me an I/O error.
[07:58] <gogeta> anyone
[07:58] <dyfrgi> genii: I tried that, but the installer clears out sources.list before doing anything.
[07:58] <Epic720> can anyone help me, I have a celeron D HP computer that I am trying to install 6.06 on and it reboots before installation
[07:58] <stanner> n-ice: speak in some what more well formed senticnes because its late and im just not getting what your sayng
[07:58] <n-iCe> stanner hahaha :)
[07:58] <n-iCe> i wanna now the location of the usbs
[07:58] <n-iCe> got it ?
[07:58] <gogeta> i need to get to the console on the live cd standerd metheds do not work
[07:58] <dyfrgi> genii: I added a network source line earlier and finished the install that way, but I had "not quite initialized" problems, like it not putting lvm into my initrd.
[07:59] <bwatson> Madpilot: I don't mind being unsupported, I just want to know how painful it is to upgrade?  Or, can I just swap out the kernel for this specific driver build?
[07:59] <gogeta> jeeez
[07:59] <stanner> Epic720: when it logs the gui?
[07:59] <Madpilot> bwatson, you can't "just swap out the kernel", and upgrading isn't that bad
[07:59] <dyfrgi> It also sends my monitor an incorrect frequency (48kHz / 85Hz to an LCD) when the bootsplash starts up.
[07:59] <stanner> loads*
[07:59] <Madpilot> ubotu, upgrade | bwatson
[07:59] <ubotu> bwatson: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:59] <genii> dyfrgi: Ah one of those catch-22 spots LOL
[08:00] <Epic720> it boots to the install screen for selecting different modes of installation, I choose install in text mode or install a server and it reboots
[08:00] <dyfrgi> I might be able to hack an install, but if I'm going to do that, I'll just install Gentoo. No point in using the easier-to-admin option if it's not actually easier to admin, especially when I'm already very familiar with Gentoo.
[08:00] <bwatson> Madpilot: one more thing.  Assuming I upgrade, can I choose the specific kernel version I mentioned (2.6.19-2)?
[08:00] <stanner> Epic720: you trying to do the server install?
[08:00] <Epic720> yes
[08:00] <dyfrgi> Maybe it's the drive. I'll try swapping that out.
[08:00] <stanner> is this going to be a server?
[08:00] <Epic720> yes
[08:01] <stanner> is it server hardware?
[08:01] <Epic720> no
[08:01] <stanner> run the alternate install cd
[08:01] <gogeta> the alt cd has text mode?
[08:01] <Epic720> I am
[08:01] <stanner> and it has a server mode?
[08:01] <Epic720> yes
[08:01] <stanner> since when?
[08:01] <Epic720> IDK
[08:01] <Madpilot> bwatson, 2.6.19 is too new for Dapper, or even Edgy - my Edgy install here is running 2.6.17-11 - Feisty will have a 2.6.19 kernel
[08:01] <erikja> !kubuntu
[08:01] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[08:01] <ndlovu> cups gave me a problem when I did an apg-get dist-upgrade from breezy (5.10) to dapper (6.06). Can someone please look at the problem message and my sources.list and see if you can see the problem? http://pastebin.ca/423487
[08:02] <gogeta> i can get to the console in the kubuntu live cd so i guess the alt installer
[08:02] <gogeta> cant
[08:02] <stanner> madpilot: no fiesty is running 2.6.20-* for the beta
[08:02] <dyfrgi> Edgy has a "commandline install" on the alternate at least, stanner, Epic720.
[08:02] <gogeta> what a pain i always cvcould befor
[08:02] <Epic720> edgy?
[08:02] <ndlovu> sudo apt-get install cups also doesn't work it seems
[08:02] <Madpilot> stanner, cool - good to know, I'm not following Feisty that closely
[08:02] <stanner> yes the one after
[08:02] <stanner> well im running it now
[08:02] <dyfrgi> Epic720: Ubuntu 6.10
[08:03] <dyfrgi> aka Edgy Eft.
[08:03] <gogeta> arg
[08:03] <stanner> and all i have to say is the alpha was good enough for install
[08:03] <snowpunk98> How do I run a command in mysql once im in the mysql shell
[08:03] <Epic720> not the alternative CD, but the regular server disc?
[08:03] <gogeta> all i needed to do was reconfigure xorg to make the live disk work
[08:03] <bwatson> Madpilot: one more question then.  Do upgrades need to happen sequentially (e.g. Dapper, to Edgy to Fiesty)?   Or you could just reinstall right to Fiesty, if you don't mind reinstalling your apps afterward (assuming you have a seperate /home partition
[08:04] <ant-> ypSami : kill -15 pid
[08:04] <ypSami> thanks
[08:04] <mneptok> gogeta: that's only another X display. same as opening a terminal.
[08:04] <ant-> ypSami : if kill -15 doesnt work use kill -9
[08:04] <killermach> I cannot find module-assistant package to install.. how do I find the repository that has it?
[08:04] <ypSami> This is what I get for trying to run gtalk with wine
[08:04] <Epic720> the name of the ISO was ubuntu 6.06.1-alternate-i386.iso
[08:04] <mneptok> or, rather, another tty
[08:04] <jpsamara> but I prefer a cleanslate .. backup /home and reinstall
[08:04] <stanner> ok
[08:05] <bwatson> OK, thanks to all for your help!  I'm a bit of a Ubuntu/Debian newbie (if you couldn't tell).  But I'm liking it.  Thanks again.
[08:05] <gogeta> mneptok i was trying to insatlll xorg failed
[08:05] <stanner> you might want to try installing using the server version
[08:05] <stanner> or
[08:05] <gogeta> always does but noramaly i just run to console reconfiure and startx again
[08:05] <mneptok> gogeta: the alternate CD for text mode install has been required since Dapper
[08:05] <gogeta> hyy
[08:05] <Epic720> I am burning the desktop one now, I have tried both the server and alternate, but not yet the destop.
[08:05] <stanner> epicim prettsure the alt cd installs via text but installs a gui do you want a gui?
[08:06] <Epic720> IDC, I just want to get it to install
[08:06] <mneptok> gogeta: ctl-alt-bkspace
[08:06] <stanner> do you care about how long it is supported for?
[08:06] <Epic720> no
[08:06] <gogeta> dam netspits
[08:06] <Epic720> just as long as I can get it up and working
[08:06] <stanner> Try Edgy Eft then or 6.10
[08:07] <stanner> i mean 6.10 Edgy Eft
[08:07] <Epic720> ohh there is a memory test option.....
[08:07] <gogeta> as i was saying the live cd x failes couse it hates auto finding my ati so in the past i switch to a console reconfiged x manuly and resumed i cant now
[08:07] <catid> anyone know how to remove the coloring from openoffice impress documents?  i'd like to make them all have white background and just black text
[08:07] <temporaryname> quick question:  anyone know if there is anything like fluxbox for gnome (I'm a n00b)
[08:07] <stanner> catid: magic
[08:08] <ssaa> hello. i need some help please, the sound is not working on my laptop, whhat can i do?
[08:08] <catid> will you do it now?
[08:08] <stanner> teporaryname: fluxbox is a window manager.
[08:08] <stanner> gnome is a GUI
[08:09] <stanner> gnome uses by default metacity as its window manager
[08:09] <temporaryname> I just looked at some screen shots..  (been reading the edgy guide) and I really like the visual styles, getting tired of looking @ the same one all the time
[08:09] <stanner> metacity can be replace with something like fluxbox
[08:09] <temporaryname> oic
[08:09] <LeoNz> Anyone: "bcmwl5  invalid driver!" any reason?
[08:09] <stanner> fluxbox's site sais they lean more twords kde compatabilty though
[08:10] <dyfrgi> I'm sure you can run it with Gnome.
[08:10] <[Spooky] > Hm... No good music programs in Ubuntu...
[08:10] <stanner> it is
[08:10] <dyfrgi> WM/DE integration is overrated.
[08:10] <stanner> you can install throug the repos then selec it through the session manager at login
[08:10] <temporaryname> but isn't fluxbox for "x-whatever you call it" desktops only?
[08:11] <temporaryname> nm.. just noticed the above comment

[08:19] <LeoNz> Crazytom: Ok done
[08:19] <Crazytom> LeoNz, you said you were using edgy?
[08:19] <bullgard4> The status line of Irssi lists an attribute of this channel as '#ubuntu-unregged'. What does 'unregged' mean here?

[08:20] <covrigel> anyone got any ideas
[08:20] <Enselic`> The 'host name' of a server, has that anything to do with anything, or is it just a name/identifier?
[08:20] <Ali_ix> no
[08:20] <ardchoille> covrigel: Which command gives that problem?
[08:20] <covrigel> arcade any command
[08:20] <covrigel> it just goes back to the command problpt
[08:20] <lynucs> could anyone give me an advice on a xml plugin i could use with eclipse? which is the most used one?
[08:20] <LeoNz> Crazytom: yes im using edgy
[08:20] <bullgard4> Enselic`: Was your posting directed to me?
[08:20] <Crazytom> ok
[08:20] <ardchoille> Hmm.. Never seen that.
[08:21] <Enselic`> bullgard4: not until now :)
[08:21] <covrigel> ardchoille: I dont understand because I am not getting any error
[08:21] <covrigel> ardchoille: no output
[08:21] <ardchoille> covrigel: Yeah, that's weird.
[08:21] <Crazytom> LeoNz, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:21] <ant-> covrigel : what does /var/log/auth.log say
[08:21] <covrigel> ardchoille: is there a way to enable the root account without the command sudo?
[08:21] <Enselic`> covrigel: please don't
[08:21] <ardchoille> covrigel: Check what ant- posted.
[08:21] <LeoNz> crazytom: k
[08:22] <covrigel> I get premission denied
[08:22] <ant-> ouch
[08:22] <ardchoille> covrigel: Enabling the root account is not an option, IMHO
[08:22] <Crazytom> LeoNz, save this file to your desktop http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o
[08:22] <covrigel> what can i do?
[08:22] <covrigel> thats my question
[08:22] <LeoNz> wait crazytom:
[08:22] <ant-> covrigel : have you tried gksu gedit /var/log/auth.log?
[08:22] <dealc_> I have a small problem.
[08:22] <kofler> I really hate rsync. I can't figure this out. See if someone here can help me out. I call rsync and here are the rules it displays as being added, and then the corresponding list of files it actually copies over. [client]  add_rule(+ /home/kofler/\..*) -> .file file
[08:23] <Crazytom> LeoNz, what?
[08:23] <ardchoille> covrigel: Could it be that you aren't in sudoers?
[08:23] <covrigel> sorry can't im in a server
[08:23] <covrigel> ssh
[08:23] <dyfrgi> There are certain things which can't be done without a root account. Ever tried to do a remote backup without a root account?
[08:23] <covrigel> that is a possibility
[08:23] <covrigel> how do i add myself
[08:23] <LeoNz> Crazytom: im gettin this thing sayin timestamp to far into the future
[08:23] <dealc_> I need a package called "courier-authmysql", Anyone have a copy?
[08:23] <ardchoille> dyfrgi: The root account is there, it's just disabled and there is no need to enable it.
[08:23] <LeoNz> Crazytom: maybe its still there
[08:23] <Crazytom> LeoNz, what do you mean?
[08:23] <kofler> Anyone?
[08:23] <LeoNz> yes its still there
[08:24] <ant-> you get a permissions error when your not a sudoers
[08:24] <LeoNz> crazytom: i installed it awhile ago
[08:24] <covrigel> i get no error ant-
[08:24] <ardchoille> ant-: Good point
[08:24] <Crazytom> LeoNz, installed what?
[08:24] <dyfrgi> ardchoille: My claim is that there is a reason to enable it, and that reason is remote backups.
[08:24] <covrigel> tmatei@server1:~$ sudo ls
[08:24] <covrigel> tmatei@server1:~$
[08:24] <covrigel> it just goes to the next line
[08:24] <LeoNz> Crazytom: the cutter
[08:24] <ant-> covrigel : have you tried gksu instead?
[08:25] <covrigel> dont have it installed
[08:25] <covrigel> its a server
[08:25] <covrigel> with no xwindow
[08:25] <ardchoille> dyfrgi: When in this channel, it's good to adhere to the recommended things. Enabling root is not one of those things.
[08:25] <ant-> oh, duh
[08:25] <ndlovu> I upgraded from 5.10 to 6.06 by changing breezy to dapper in my sources.list. now a lot of stuff (like synaptic) is missing from the menu system, and cups at least is broken. is it necessary to have ubuntu-desktop installed for the upgrade to work properly?
[08:25] <covrigel> ant- can i enable root account without sudo command?
[08:25] <LeoNz> Crazytom: The download isnt starting
[08:25] <dyfrgi> ardchoille: True, it's certainly not useful for most people. Point taken.
[08:25] <ant-> covrigel : nope
[08:25] <covrigel> ant- what can i do?
[08:25] <pavs> o !xinetd
[08:26] <Crazytom> ok go into synaptic and tell it to uninstall fwcutter
[08:26] <pavs>  !xinetd
[08:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xinetd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:26] <LeoNz> Crazytom: wait i got it
[08:26] <ardchoille> covrigel: I don't think you're going to get any help in here with enabling root.
[08:26] <covrigel> ardchoille what can i do? how can i fix this sudo problem
[08:26] <ant-> covrigel : i guess check forums for related problems, maybe a fix.. maybe a corrupt sudo, i dunno
[08:26] <Crazytom> LeoNz, ok let me know what your status is
[08:26] <ardchoille> covrigel: I don't know.
[08:26] <ant-> covrigel : i've broke my sudo before
[08:26] <pavs> whats xinetd?
[08:27] <covrigel> ant- how could i fix it?
[08:27] <preaction> pavs: a way to run a bunch of server daemons for the duration of a request, so they don't sit there chewing up memory and clock cycles
[08:27] <LeoNz> crazytom: well i completely removed fwcutter
[08:27] <ant-> covrigel : well at the time i was new and just did a clean install :(
[08:27] <kofler> Can someone help me with rsync?
[08:27] <kofler> It really makes no sense why it copies files that I don't tell it to copy.
[08:27] <thepumpkin1979> hi. how could I Clean all the files generated by ./autogen.sh for some proyect?
[08:27] <Crazytom> ok do this so we have a fresh install
[08:27] <Crazytom> LeoNz, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:28] <covrigel> i've already installed alot of applications and configured apache
[08:28] <bimberi> covrigel: booting into recovery mode gets you to a root shell, any fix can be applied there
[08:28] <pavs> preaction thanks
[08:28] <covrigel> bimberi thanks, i will try that
[08:28] <ant-> bimberi : good point
[08:28] <ardchoille> bimberi: good call
[08:28] <ant-> covrigel : but you still have to find out whats wrong with sudo
[08:28] <covrigel> bimberi I can't do it from here, but ya i will try it when im in front of the server
[08:28] <covrigel> i will try to reinstall it maybe
[08:29] <LeoNz> Crazytom: done
[08:29] <ant-> covrigel : i would search forums first
[08:29] <Crazytom> LeoNz, save this file to your desktop http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o
[08:29] <bimberi> covrigel: kk, as to what the problem is - i'm mystified too :/
[08:29] <LeoNz> Crazytom: Done
[08:29] <covrigel> bimberi any other ideas that i can try now from SSH
[08:30] <Crazytom> LeoNz, sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o
[08:30] <LeoNz> done
[08:30] <LeoNz> Crazytom: done
[08:30] <Crazytom> LeoNz, sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/`uname -r` ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o
[08:30] <me2> i have a problem to set up Canon LBP 2900 USB printer ,help me
[08:30] <bimberi> covrigel: looking int /var/log/auth.log was a good one.  prolly need sudo though (heh)
[08:30] <LeoNz> crazytom: done
[08:31] <covrigel> bimberi ya i can't do that it says permission denied
[08:31] <Rayan> Hi All - Does anyone know of any Webcam recording software I can use on Ubuntu (Thats easy to install!! lol )
[08:31] <covrigel> bimberi any similar commands?
[08:31] <Crazytom> LeoNz, please join #ubuntuflak so you don't flood in here
[08:32] <drcode> hi all
[08:32] <drcode> what is best player in linux to play wmv,avi and so?
[08:33] <me2> drcode, can u help me?
[08:33] <drcode> yes
[08:33] <bimberi> covrigel: nothing rushes to mind.  When you try recovery mode, check that log, also try running visudo and make a trivial change to the file (eg. in a comment) and save it.  That will ensure the file is checked over.  Also make sure you're a member of the 'admin' group
[08:33] <covrigel> any other ideas guys? that i can try from ssh?
[08:33] <Rayan> drcode - VLC's good
[08:33] <covrigel> hmm
[08:33] <Rayan> Hi All - Does anyone know of any Webcam recording software I can use on Ubuntu (Thats easy to install!! lol )
[08:33] <drcode> how can I tell evolution to play in vlc?
[08:33] <magez> mplayer is good too
[08:34] <Crazytom> how do i turn off kicking people for flooding in another channel?
[08:34] <me2> drcode, i have problem to set up canon 2900 LBP USP printer
[08:34] <Rayan> drcode - just ask it nicely and say please
[08:34] <Rayan> joking
[08:34] <bimberi> Crazytom: use #flood
[08:34] <drcode> please
[08:34] <drcode> me2 U need cups
[08:34] <drcode> to config printer
[08:34] <drcode> I have a frind with same printer
[08:35] <Crazytom> bimberi, the channel?
[08:35] <dyfrgi> Looks like it was the CD-ROM drive.
[08:35] <drcode> btw: cannon dosnt support linux (I have email them also about cannon 2000)
[08:35] <drcode> Rayan,  ?
[08:35] <ant-> covrigel : the su -c <command> <loginname> will run command for you maybe
[08:35] <bimberi> Crazytom: yes, i'm guessing the normal flood kicking rules are less stringent in there
[08:35] <Rayan> Hi Drcode
[08:35] <me2> drcode, where can i find CUPs
[08:36] <dyfrgi> bimberi: I think that Crazytom means turn off floodkicking in his client.
[08:36] <Crazytom> i just made up a channel and then i kicked a guy i told to flood
[08:36] <drcode> how can I please change evolution player to vlc?
[08:36] <JLXL> has anyone used bittorrent before,  I haven't.  I need some info about what I'm doing..  When I click on the link in the gnome menu and it says to find a metafile.  where can I find that.  I want to d/l the feisty cd.
[08:36] <dyfrgi> Crazytom: Ask in #xchat
[08:36] <drcode> command line
[08:36] <drcode> also check in ubuntu forum
[08:36] <Crazytom> thanks
[08:37] <bimberi> dyfrgi: ah, kk
[08:37] <covrigel> ant- it gives me authentication failure
[08:37] <mzanfardino_> what might be a suitable channel to ask dvd authoring questions?  Specifically, what tool should be used to burn an MP4 to DVD... or better yet to recode the MP4 into something suitable for the TV?
[08:37] <Madpilot> JLXL, you need to get the .torrent file from one of the Ubuntu download sites
[08:38] <Madpilot> JLXL, that's the 'metafile' that gnometorrent is asking for
[08:38] <badserii> is there an official Ubuntu Presentation ?
[08:38] <dillon> hello
[08:38] <JLXL> thanks madpilot.
[08:39] <Crazytom> mzanfardino_, if you find out let me know
[08:39] <ant-> covrigel : i dunno what else to say...
[08:39] <dillon> im trying to install a lucent technologies wavelan wireless card how do i do it?
[08:39] <bimberi> badserii: there's one in the Examples folder of every install.  Official?  Not sure.
[08:39] <covrigel> thanks alot guys, g2g but i'll keep this in mind
[08:40] <ant-> atleast thats an error
[08:40] <Rayan> Hi All - Does anyone know of any Webcam recording software I can use on Ubuntu (Thats easy to install!! lol )
[08:40] <cX-kads> How do I upgrade from edgy to feisty using the live cd? I have two partions on is / and the othere is /home I want to keep /home unchanged and all my programs installed
[08:40] <mkquist> anyone have experience setting up music server? what file system should the storage drive be formatted with?
[08:41] <cX-kads> mkquist: what music server do u have
[08:42] <mkquist> well, at the mo, none, looking (in process) of setting up headless server to stream to stereo system, but want to be able to access it from other machines and xsfer files
[08:42] <mzanfardino_> Crazytom: I just can't seem to find any info on MP4 recoding.  I know that I can likely burn the MP4 to a CD or DVD and have it play in my DVD player, but it's been encoded to such a small image that I'm afraid the results will be poor.
[08:43] <mzanfardino_> Crazytom: I was hoping I could use transcode as I've done with AVI files to create two separate files: the video and the audio tracks.  Then just burn them as I would any other DVD
[08:43] <mkquist> cX-kads - just wanna be able to add to it from windows machine, like transfer music over to it
[08:43] <cX-kads> mkquist: I use a raw filesystem for my music server
[08:43] <mzanfardino_> Crazytom: but I can't seem to find anything to recode the MP4...
[08:43] <cX-kads> mkquist: that works fine with a virtual music server
[08:43] <Crazytom> mzanfardino_, i'm assuming you're trying to do something with itunes video?
[08:44] <dyfrgi> mkquist: I like ext3 on LVM, though I had some issues with expanding an ext3 filesystem recently.
[08:44] <cX-kads> mkquist: do u wanna stream music?
[08:44] <mkquist> cX-kads - yes
[08:44] <cX-kads> mkquist: if not u just need a server with a ftp server and windows can download from i
[08:45] <cX-kads> mkquist: do u want it to act as NAS
[08:45] <me2> draky, can u help me to setup printer canon LBP 2900 USB
[08:45] <cX-kads> How do I upgrade from edgy to feisty using the live cd? I have two partions on is / and the othere is /home I want to keep /home unchanged and all my programs installed
[08:45] <n-iCe> can any one tell me the difference between a normal cd and a alternate cd ??
[08:45] <mkquist> cX-kads - want to stream internet radio, but thought since im setting it up, then i might as well do more w/it. not sure on the NAS part, guess I'll have to think this thru a bit more
[08:46] <bimberi> !alternate | n-iCe
[08:46] <ubotu> n-iCe: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[08:46] <billy> n-iCe: alternate = install only.
[08:46] <mkquist> cX-kads - but what is a raw filesystem? if u will....
[08:46] <draky> me?
[08:46] <draky> um, I can try
[08:46] <bimberi> cX-kads: you need the alternate cd to upgrade using cd
[08:46] <cX-kads> bimberi: thx
[08:46] <bimberi> yw
[08:47] <cX-kads> mkquist: I use a virtual server
[08:47] <LeoN1> hi
[08:47] <n-iCe> ok but have graphic interface dsktop ?
[08:47] <robokop> is there a command that just prints cpuload and exits?
[08:47] <n-iCe> or everything is text ?
[08:47] <cX-kads> mkquist: It runs inside of ubuntu and reads all my music for a .img file in raw format
[08:47] <mzanfardino_> Crazytom: no. I've found a site with a tv program thats been encoded as mp4.  I've downloaded the mp4 and it plays just fine on my PC. I want to be able to watch it on my TV though...
[08:47] <mkquist> cX-kads - im assuming that if it is to act as a NAS then it would need fat or ntfs?
[08:47] <cX-kads> mkquist: no
[08:47] <cX-kads> mkquist: it can be ext3 or reiserfs with samba on the machine
[08:47] <mkquist> cX-kads - so other os can still read it no matter what filesystem?
[08:47] <cX-kads> mkquist: Samba
[08:48] <cX-kads> mkquist: do u want to stream music on the network or outside the network
[08:48] <n-iCe> billy ?
[08:48] <mkquist> cX-kads - so w/Samba running other OS can access the files too? and stream to stereo
[08:48] <n-iCe> bimberi ?
[08:49] <cX-kads> mkquist: ok NAS is to access the files directly not streams
[08:49] <billy> n-iCe: yes?
[08:49] <draky> me2: I'm still fairly new as well, but if you go to System -> Administration -> Printing, you can set up a new printer, or try
[08:49] <bimberi> n-iCe: alternate cd is text-only
[08:49] <mkquist> cX-kads - right, so file system doenst matter then? for instance if windows machine wants to access files?
[08:49] <draky> but beyond that someone that's more knowledgable would have to help
[08:49] <n-iCe> no desktop !?!?
[08:49] <cX-kads> mkquist: for streams any music player like rhythmbox on any OS can
[08:49] <bimberi> n-iCe: sorry
[08:50] <cX-kads> mkquist: yes, using samba (this is for on the network downloads)
[08:50] <billy> n-iCe: the installer isn't what i'd call pure CLI. It is a bit graphical.  don't be put off.
[08:50] <robokop> is there a command that just prints cpuload and exits?
[08:50] <bimberi> n-iCe: misunderstood your question. both CDs can be used t oinstall a desktop environment
[08:50] <TheLance> hey is there a way i can activate the scroll lock button so it'll do something?
[08:50] <mkquist> cX-kads - ty, sounds like my answer then ext3 or reiserfs
[08:50] <TheLance> i have one of those light up keyboards
[08:50] <n-iCe> i mean billy when the installation finish is a desktop like normal ubuntu ?
[08:50] <arooni> how can i update my subversion client?
[08:50] <arooni> on linux
[08:50] <TheLance> that doesn't work too well without the scroll lok
[08:50] <cX-kads> mkquist: wait, do u want ppl to only hear the music, not download it?
[08:51] <billy> n-iCe: yes.  alternate cd only lacks liveCD capability.
[08:51] <dyfrgi> mkquist: Those filesystems both work fine. So would XFS.
[08:51] <n-iCe> How can install a graphical mode?
[08:51] <mkquist> cX-kads - prob both, although the original idea was to just get it to stream to stereo system, but i figure if im gonna set it up, then might as well just use it as music server too
[08:51] <dyfrgi> mkquist: I have found that ext3 is more stable than the other two, but XFS and ReiserFS are easier to expand if you want to make the filesystem larger later.
[08:52] <billy> n-iCe: to install through GNOME, you'll have to have a liveCD.  alternative CD's installer is just as easy though.
[08:52] <mkquist> cX-kads - 500 gig seemed like the best price, so i guess itll be NAS too
[08:52] <cX-kads> mkquist: yep go with ext3 with samba or proFTP server and gstreamer or vlc streaming
[08:52] <dyfrgi> mkquist: However, which one you choose is immaterial to your goal of creating a file/audio server.
[08:52] <mkquist> cX-kads - old amdk62... lol gets put back to work now
[08:52] <n-iCe> look billy i have the alternate xubuntu cd, if i install it i don't going to se a desktop? just like a terminal?!?!
[08:53] <dyfrgi> n-iCe: Once you install, you'll have the usual Ubuntu software, including Gnome.
[08:53] <mkquist> cX-kads - thanks for the info
[08:53] <cX-kads> mkquist: Samaba will cover NAS for the network, FTP will cover downloads for ppl outside of network
[08:53] <billy> n-iCe: you'll have a nice desktop if you use the xubuntu alternative CD.
[08:53] <n-iCe> thank you that's :)
[08:53] <n-iCe> let me check it
[08:54] <dyfrgi> The normal ubuntu alternative CD also installs desktop software.
[08:55] <rwoodward> Hello, I'm very new to Ubuntu and Linux in general.  I am trying to get DeVeDe running, but it keeps prompting that vcdimager is missing.  Can someone help?
[08:55] <romeo_rulez> can anyone help me on how to connect my wireless usb thing in ubuntu...
[08:55] <billy> !info vcdimager
[08:55] <cX-kads> rwoodward: did u install DeVeDe from the repositories?
[08:56] <ubotu> vcdimager: A VideoCD (VCD) image mastering and ripping tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.23-3 (edgy), package size 514 kB, installed size 1000 kB
[08:56] <billy> rwoodward: you're using Edgy?
[08:56] <rwoodward> cX-kads: Yes, and then used Synaptic to reinstall it.  Still the same problem.
[08:56] <cX-kads> billy: is there a way to make kvcd images with DeVeDe?
[08:56] <rwoodward> billy: yes
[08:56] <cX-kads> rwoodward: sudo apt-get install vcdimager
[08:57] <billy> rwoodward: if DeVeDe requires vcdimager, try installing it.  `sudo apt-get install vcdimager`
[08:58] <billy> cX-kads: i dunno.  haven't worked with it.
[08:58] <rwoodward> cX-kads: I get this error:  Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[08:58] <Crazytom> romeo_rulez, what's the problem
[08:59] <billy> rwoodward: do you have synaptic open?
[09:00] <rwoodward> Ibilly: I did.  Just closed it.  Should I try the command again?
[09:00] <cX-kads> rwoodward: yes
[09:00] <billy> rwoodward: yes.
[09:00] <rwoodward> billy:  Never mind... it worked that time.
[09:00] <somafm> anyone know how to run gproftpd as root from the Applications menu, instead of having to use the cli to run it every time?
[09:01] <Gnuyen> where can i get a list of all the packages that are installed by default by a desktop installation?
[09:01] <billy> rwoodward: suhweet.
[09:01] <Gnuyen> i think i'm missing a few
[09:01] <Gnuyen> and want to apt-get them all
[09:01] <rwoodward> billy and cX-kads, thanks!  DeVeDe came right up!
[09:02] <cX-kads> ok
[09:02] <billy> Gnuyen: ubuntu desktop?  or kubuntu, etc?
[09:02] <JLXL> madpilot, if you're still here, I have the bittortent meta file loaded now in the window and it's just sitting there and doesn't appear to be downloading.
[09:03] <Madpilot> JLXL, which .torrent?
[09:03] <JLXL> ubuntu-7.04-beta-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent

[09:03] <carlesoriol> how can i redirect the output of an already running process to my terminal?
[09:04] <billy> cat the file to which it's outputted?
[09:04] <Madpilot> JLXL, give it a few minutes, torrents are often slow to start for me. It might be that there's no-one else peering it, though.
[09:05] <JLXL> ok
[09:06] <carlesoriol> billy: no file, I want to get the stdio
[09:07] <billy> carlesoriol: i don't know.
[09:09] <robokop> is there a command that just prints cpuload and exits?
[09:09] <dyfrgi> robokop: dstat might be able to do it.
[09:10] <dyfrgi> robokop: You can also parse /proc/loadavg directly.
[09:11] <robokop> dyfrgi: /proc/loadavg are 5 numbers what do they mean
[09:12] <cafuego_> 1 5 15min load, active/idle
[09:13] <cafuego_> th final number is the last processid that started (I think)
[09:13] <dyfrgi> That, or it's the process ID of the reader. That'd be an odd choice, though.
[09:13] <robokop> cafuego_: thanks
[09:14] <robokop> i'm not verry good with sed, can sb give me help how to filter them out
[09:15] <robokop> sorry meant last two numbers
[09:15] <librano> hello everybody
[09:15] <robokop> active/idle and the processid
[09:15] <librano> i need some help with setting my cpu frequency scaling...
[09:16] <cafuego_> awk '{print $1 " " $2 " " $3}' < /proc/loadavg
[09:16] <cafuego_> cut -d ' ' -f 1-3 < /proc/loadavg
[09:17] <librano> I want it so that my cpu is set to conservative governor as soon as i boot up
[09:17] <robokop> cafuego_:  thanks again
[09:17] <librano> what config file should i edit and what changes should I make
[09:17] <robokop> never used awk always worked with sed and hated to debug that, but awk is more easy for this
[09:18] <librano> any help would be appreciated
[09:18] <papillon> i have some troubles with antidote Rx. Any help
[09:19] <librano> anybody?
[09:20] <atiredmachine> Hello, I'm trying to change my /home/ folder to a new partition I just created.  I can't seem to figure out the partition label (something like hd3?).
[09:20] <papillon> i wanna fix antidote Rx. Any help
[09:21] <atiredmachine> nevermind
[09:21] <pingpongboss> what's the fastest way to convert a MKV video file into a AVI file?
[09:21] <pingpongboss> I tried looking up documentation on mencoder but it's way dam confusing and slow :(
[09:22] <gordonjcp> pingpongboss: converting video *is* slow
[09:22] <papillon> ok so no one know Antidote Rx
[09:22] <pingpongboss> gordonjcp, slower than playing them even? o_o
[09:23] <gordonjcp> pingpongboss: massively so
[09:23] <pingpongboss> ;_;
[09:23] <gordonjcp> pingpongboss: encoding video is a very slow process
[09:23] <gordonjcp> it's much harder to compress than uncompress
[09:23] <pingpongboss> gordonjcp, dang. guess i just have to wait it out then. thx
[09:24] <librano> can anyone help with the cpu freq question above?
[09:25] <masa> I'm trying to install xwine, it did load some time and then the installer disappeared, now it says it can't run two installers at the same time but there is no other installators working. I already tried to reboot computer but still it says there is other installation going
[09:27] <ndlovu> can modified conf files cause dependency problems during a system upgrade? I have a modified cupsd.conf file and now cups is giving me dependency problems upgrading from breezy to dapper
[09:28] <gordonjcp> pingpongboss: yup, you do ;-)
[09:28] <gordonjcp> pingpongboss: video codecs are designed so it's easy to uncompress at the expense of being difficult to compress
[09:28] <gordonjcp> pingpongboss: because, you generally want to play back a lot more than you want to compress
[09:29] <preaction> pingpongboss: but converting an MKV to an AVI shouldn't take much, since you're not doing any real encoding. you're just changing the container.
[09:29] <pingpongboss> gordonjcp, right. are u familiar with mencoder?
[09:29] <librano> video encoding takes long in windows too...
[09:29] <finalbeta> Playback has to be real time, encoding doesn't. So that allows them to do what gordonjcp said.
[09:29] <pingpongboss> preaction, really? plz tell me how x]
[09:29] <preaction> pingpongboss: i don't know how on linux, i always used vdub and the gknot utils on windows
[09:29] <dyfrgi> masa: Presumably it created some files, maybe in ~/.xwine
[09:29] <pingpongboss> I just need to put it into an AVI file so i can play it on my zen vision
[09:30] <preaction> pingpongboss: i'm pretty sure that there's a set of mkv tools for linux to demux the streams, then you just need an avi muxer
[09:30] <pingpongboss> preaction, lol i have no clue what u just said there
[09:30] <pingpongboss> preaction, but i'll look into it
[09:30] <librano> check out kino as well..
[09:30] <librano> i'm not sure  what it does but its a video editing tool
[09:31] <pingpongboss> librano, k
[09:31] <preaction> pingpongboss: demux means to extract the audio and video (and maybe subtitle, etc...) components into separate files. mux means... well you get the idea
[09:31] <pingpongboss> preaction, ic
[09:32] <librano> can anybody help with cpu frequency settings?
[09:32] <cherva> can someone advice me a very simple ftp server like "quick and easy ftp server" for windows i need it to minimize to try and just look who tries to connect to it. Not to use it as an actual server
[09:33] <ndlovu> pingpongboss, you might get some useful stuff from http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MMM/Tools_and_Equipment/Linux_in_film_production
[09:33] <gordonjcp> pingpongboss: a bit
[09:33] <preaction> pingpongboss: doom9.org has useful stuff too
[09:33] <ndlovu> pingpongboss, there's a section on file conversion tools you could look at
[09:33] <preaction> !ftpd | cherva
[09:33] <ubotu> cherva: FTP servers: !ftpd, !proftpd, !pure-ftpd, !twoftpd, !vsftpd - Graphical front-ends: !PureAdmin, !GProftpd (for !GNOME), !KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP
[09:33] <pingpongboss> sweet. thx for links
[09:33] <librano> cherva, are u using any ftp server now?
[09:34] <cherva> ubotu: 10x
[09:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 10x - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[09:34] <steel_lady> Hi! I have problem that when trying to transfer some files, I get 0 length files. anyone can tell me why?
[09:34] <pingpongboss> ndlovu, do u konw if any of hte programs mentioned has a GUI?
[09:35] <valehru> Hey guys, I want to get the HP-Toolbox installed, it relies on python-qt3.  When I try and install it I get:  python-qt3: Depends: python (< 2.5) but 2.5-0ubuntu6 is to be installed
[09:35] <SeveredCross> valehru: Try apt-get -f install
[09:35] <SeveredCross> Err, sudo apt-get -f install
[09:35] <SeveredCross> That may help you out..
[09:35] <phire> hey, How can I edit my fstab to make allow a vfat partition to be mounted and edited by anyone, without sudo?
[09:35] <ndlovu> pingpongboss, afraid I don't know; you'll have to check them out
[09:35] <valehru> SeveredCross, is it wise to force an installation?
[09:35] <hole_> anyone here got quake3 running on ubuntu
[09:36] <pingpongboss> wow... i just realized
[09:36] <SeveredCross> Eh, probably not, though I seem to recall hp-toolbox being stubborn and having to do that when I installed it myself.
[09:36] <pingpongboss> think htere's something wrong with the command i'm using..
[09:36] <pingpongboss> it keeps saying Too many audio packets in the buffer
[09:36] <pingpongboss> and exiting
[09:36] <pingpongboss> ><
[09:36] <valehru> hmm...
[09:36] <pingpongboss> arg. stupid mencoder :)
[09:36] <valehru> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
[09:36] <valehru> requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
[09:36] <valehru> distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
[09:36] <valehru> or been moved out of Incoming.
[09:36] <valehru> Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
[09:37] <valehru> the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
[09:37] <valehru> that package should be filed.
[09:37] <valehru> The following information may help to resolve the situation:
[09:37] <valehru> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[09:37] <valehru>   python-sip4: Depends: python (< 2.5) but 2.5-0ubuntu6 is to be installed
[09:37] <valehru> sorry for flodding.
[09:38] <steel_lady> pleaseeee
[09:38] <phire> never mind, worked it out
[09:39] <librano> i need some help with cpu frequency settings... can anyone help?
[09:39] <steel_lady> anyone here so good to give me a hand?
[09:40] <Ali_ix> ywhta is problem
[09:40] <librano> what problem do u have steel_lady
[09:40] <Ali_ix> *what
[09:40] <steel_lady> in various situations I get 0 length files
[09:40] <mwe> valehru: you probaby messed up sources.list
[09:41] <steel_lady> first my friend tried to trensfer the file to me by messenger. it starts and breaks after some kb
[09:41] <steel_lady> then I tried to dl it from mail
[09:41] <seamus7> Hi... I want to try out XFCE (xubuntu) .. i'm using Gnome on Edgy Eft ... will installing xubuntu-desktop interfere with my current Gnome configuration and is Xubuntu easy to completely uninstall?
[09:41] <steel_lady> I got 0 length
[09:41] <pingpongboss> seamus7, i'd think it should be if u used aptitude instead of apt-get
[09:41] <Ali_ix> seamus7: yes, easy to install via apt-get or synaptic
[09:41] <steel_lady> then I tried to convert one video from flv to mpeg online and when i try to dl converted 0 length again
[09:42] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: you may have some problem with your intenet connection.
[09:42] <seamus7> I wonder if there's a xubuntu install option that install only a minimal set of packages???
[09:42] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: try to download some thing directly by wget
[09:42] <steel_lady> Ali_ix but I tried to do it many times, it would succeed once, no?
[09:43] <steel_lady> like what?
[09:43] <seamus7> Do any of you run XFCE and Gnome??
[09:43] <steel_lady> ok, I put the link from youtube and it converts to mpeg and pops up to dl. what can I do?
[09:44] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: any DIRECT http download i mean
[09:44] <ypSami> is there a way to disable desktop icons with edgy?
[09:44] <Traveler> are there daily builds of alternativ cd for feisty ?
[09:44] <valehru> awe, you were right....restored the default synaptic package list...seems fine now..
[09:44] <valehru> thx
[09:44] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: just try this in terminal wget -c DOWNLAOD_URL
[09:44] <fazzi> max jut leute
[09:44] <Ali_ix> ypSami: your desktop is a nautilus, try prefrences for nautilus
[09:45] <ypSami> thanks
[09:45] <librano> i need some help with cpu frequency settings... can anyone help?
[09:46] <fazzi> some dummy question "how to quit bitchx ?
[09:46] <mwe> librano: please elaborate
[09:46] <librano> finally :-)
[09:46] <fazzi> i am lost in qwertz
[09:46] <Ali_ix> fazzi: what is bitchx? you can kill any procces using kill PID command in terminal
[09:46] <mwe> librano: usually it clocks up when it's busy and vica versa
[09:47] <valehru> is there a way I can restore the the cups packages to the original configurations?
[09:47] <librano> i would like to have my computer set to a conservative cpu freq profile on boot..
[09:47] <samu2> How can I make the gnome-terminal maximize automatically when I run it?
[09:47] <librano> yes i know... but i think it was after i ran dpkg-reconfig on acpi or acpid n now when it boots its at full throttle and performance profile
[09:48] <eck> samu2: use something like devilspie
[09:48] <samu2> You can't do it without extra tools?
[09:48] <pingpongboss> attempting to encode a mkv file with avidemux. hope i works ><
[09:48] <librano> mwe,  any ideas?
[09:49] <eck> no, because it is controlled by the window manager
[09:49] <mwe> librano: Well are you using powernowd?
[09:49] <eck> i think you can change the default geometry
[09:49] <librano> what file should i edit to have it boot in the profile i want
[09:49] <librano> mwe, yes..
[09:49] <amicrawler> is there a reason that stream tuner can not record any more ?
[09:49] <samu2> Yeah but I was thinking there would be some gnome option...
[09:50] <librano> i can set the freq i want using the cpufreq-select under sudo
[09:50] <ryukent> Any one a SCIM user?
[09:50] <amicrawler> the shell comes up for a  sec then goes off
[09:50] <amicrawler> is there a reason that stream tuner can not record any more ?
[09:50] <amicrawler> the shell comes up for a  sec then goes off
[09:50] <amicrawler> will not record any more
[09:50] <Ali_ix> !repeat | amicrawler
[09:50] <ubotu> amicrawler: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:51] <librano> mwe: so i am sure it works... i just have to edit the config files... and i am not sure which one it is... dont want to break anything
[09:51] <mwe> librano: it's running but doesn't work as expected? or would you like a static low freq?
[09:51] <amicrawler> any ways  i got my mac mini working
[09:51] <AzMoo> Hey, I'm having a problem with my packages. Every time I try and install something it tells me that 'python-uno: Depends: openoffice.org-core (= 2.0.4-0ubuntu4) but 2.0.4-0ubuntu5 is to be installed'. It says the solution is to run 'sudo apt-get -f install' which I do, but that fails when it attempts to upgrade the python-uno package. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this? I haven't been able to add or remove anything in days :\
[09:51] <amicrawler> i run linux on it now
[09:51] <amicrawler> mac os  is pissing me off very badly
[09:52] <seamus7> hi .. should i expect any (even minor) problems from installing two desktop managers (gnome and kde or xfce)? should i expect my menus to be corrupted in each or if i uninstall one of the desktop managers later, will it cleanly uninstall?
[09:52] <amicrawler> very slow and hangs all the time
[09:52] <librano> mwe: right now when i boot the profile is max freq and governor is performance... i want the conservative governor to be the default when i boot...
[09:52] <amicrawler> must run
[09:52] <steel_lady> Ali_ix I tried to dl and I got:  Resolving tc1.vixy.net... <IP_ADDRESS>  Connecting to tc1.vixy.net|<IP_ADDRESS>|:80... connected.  HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 400 Bad Request  08:50:52 ERROR 400: Bad Request.
[09:52] <AzMoo> seamus7, I have gnome+beryl and xfce and haven't had any problems with my window manager.
[09:53] <mwe> librano: then I don't think powernowd is running. it should set it to userspace I believe
[09:53] <dyfrgi> AzMoo: Try removing openoffice.org-core and python-uno and reinstalling them.
[09:53] <somafm> for proftp, if I dont use a "group" should i erase the default entry in the conf file that says "group nobody"?
[09:53] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: did you tried an direct and not session based download url?
[09:53] <AzMoo> dyfrgi, I can't remove anything, because it always comes up with the same thing, telling me to run sudo apt-get -f install.
[09:53] <librano> mwe: oh... let me check my services
[09:53] <eck> AzMoo: you can also just pin the package at whatever version it is currently at, see the man page for apt_preferences
[09:53] <eck> and file a bug of course
[09:54] <seamus7> azmoo: i have gnome+beryl and want to play around with xfce ... did you just install the basic xubuntu-desktop or is there a minimalist version like there is for kubuntu? I wonder.
[09:54] <steel_lady> I tried that converted video
[09:54] <Ali_ix> :|
[09:54] <dyfrgi> AzMoo: Use dpkg to remove them, then.
[09:54] <dyfrgi> AzMoo: dpkg -r python-uno openoffice.org-core
[09:54] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: try this one for test: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-beta-alternate-amd64.iso
[09:55] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: wget -c http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-beta-alternate-amd64.iso
[09:55] <mwe> librano: Personally I just diabled powernowd and set the governor to ondemand. It works well for me.
[09:55] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: and see if it fails or...
[09:55] <AzMoo> eck, dyfrgi, thanks. I'll give them a go.
[09:55] <steel_lady> Ali it works
[09:55] <cmatheson> i just untarred firefox from the mozilla foundation (apparently that is the only way that the vmware plugin can work).  when i try to start firefox it segfaults though.  is this a known issue?
[09:56] <librano> mwe: i am on an acer laptop with sempron proc and it gets hot quit quickly if its runs at full throttle for abt 5 mins...
[09:56] <librano> goes to 80-90 degrees
[09:56] <urbanp00r> would apt-get remove openoffice* will remove all openoffice related installated files?
[09:56] <librano> degrees C that is
[09:56] <mwe> librano: yeah that's hot
[09:56] <Tomcat_> urbanp00r: Add --purge to remove configs as well
[09:57] <caustic> can anyone point me in the right direction for adjusting screen resolutions? I have an ATI X1300 vid card and have fglrx installed, I ran the line aticonfig ==resolution=0,1600x1200 etc, it shows up in xorg.conf but I can't select it in System->Preferences->Screen Resolution.  Suggestions?
[09:57] <mwe> librano: so you don't want it to clock to full speed at any time?
[09:57] <steel_lady> Ali_ix what now?
[09:57] <urbanp00r> Tomcat_:  that's not on the manual.. hehehe.. but what if i have already throw off the command?
[09:57] <willskills> caustic try it again - I just had to do it twice
[09:58] <willskills> to get my tv to display properly
[09:58] <librano> mwe: yes, i want it to run at the lowest freq 800mhz and ondemand to scale to 1600mhz
[09:58] <Tomcat_> urbanp00r: "throw off the command"? What do you mean?
[09:58] <librano> i can do that from cammand line but i want it to happen when i boot up..
[09:58] <urbanp00r> i have already issued the command "apt-get remove openoffice"
[09:59] <eck> cmatheson: i think that mozilla statically compiles their version of firefox so i am surprised that it segfaults, but you might be able to run it through something like strace or gdb and figure out why it is crashing
[09:59] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: check your browser and download souce
[09:59] <caustic> willskills, I am not trying for TV, just my normal monitor
[09:59] <Tomcat_> urbanp00r: You can later remove the configs using "dpkg -P <package>"
[09:59] <mwe> librano: you could just disable powernowd like I did and put 'echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor' in /etc/rc.local. That works for me
[09:59] <valehru> whats the best tool to scan a network / LAN to discover open ports?
[09:59] <cherva> can someone tell me a program witch will alert me if a text/log file is changed (realtime)
[09:59] <steel_lady> Ali_ix to check what?
[09:59] <eck> valehru: definitely nmap
[09:59] <caustic> valehru, nmap
[09:59] <willskills> caustic I know - it might just be a little flaky :)
[09:59] <librano> mwe: thanks, i will try that out...
[09:59] <mwe> librano: try sudo su -c 'echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor' now and see if it works
[10:00] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: settings and to be up to date version
[10:00] <amicrawler> ok good night
[10:00] <caustic> willskills, it is, that's why I am here
[10:00] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: as you tested you have god connection nd network settings
[10:00] <urbanp00r> Tomcat_:  im trying to build this ubuntu to my bare necessity.. thanks
[10:00] <steel_lady> Ali_ix it is up to date version
[10:00] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: so you should look in browser and source for download problems
[10:00] <ryukent> Anyone type in chinese or japanese using edgy?
[10:01] <steel_lady> source as the server where I am downloading from?
[10:01] <Ali_ix> steel_lady: yes
[10:01] <librano> mwe: will this set it to boot with ondemand as default?
[10:01] <caustic> anyone good with screen resolutions?
[10:02] <steel_lady> Ali_ix, it is happening from that site but from yahoo mail as well
[10:02] <mwe> librano: It should. try it out first, though
[10:02] <librano> mwe: ok thanks
[10:02] <mwe> librano: make sure powernowd is not set to start then, though.
[10:02] <librano> mwe: ok
