[10:37] <starz> there's a list somewhere of repos ozkelligirl that are official, i would post in the forums asking ok?
[10:37] <starz> www.ubuntuforums.org
[10:37] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: can you send it again now?
[10:37] <Flannel> ozkelligirl: Read the wiki link that ubottu gave you about synaptic.
[10:38] <Flannel> starz: !mirrors has it
[10:38] <Bob26> starz: ok i tested it out, the screens coming out ok now, but before when it was working the text was clearer and it wasnt too bright. i also get a blur line on top of the video when i play them.
[10:38] <hazysoni1> tnx starz
[10:38] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, do you see the new dcc send?
[10:38] <ozkelligirl> thanks all
[10:38] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: I see it. it says "waiting for transfer to begin"
[10:38]  * MrWizeGuy is amazed that a girl uses linux and very impressed
[10:39] <Flannel> MrWizeGuy: There are plenty of women using Linux, don't be so naive.
[10:39] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, wait, I will put it on a web site
[10:39] <MrWizeGuy> i guess it's just around here
[10:39] <MrWizeGuy> i've told several how cool it was and i think their eyes almost rolled all the way back into their heads
[10:39] <MrWizeGuy> needless to say, they weren't interested
[10:39] <starz> Bob26, its a starting point
[10:40] <CorpseFeeder> WalloO: I don't think DCC send is working in Pidgin
[10:40] <Dr_willis_> My wife uses Linux... but its just her using Vmware, to run windows98, so i can easially run  her 98 'setup' on various machines.
[10:40] <starz> now you can play with fonts, and cleartype or wahtever
[10:40] <CorpseFeeder> I will install XChat
[10:40] <starz> but it _IS_ using the nvidia now correct?
[10:40] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, use xchat, it's better for irc
[10:40] <raboof> doesn't the information at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems belong at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ instead?
[10:40] <starz> CorpseFeeder, pidgin is not that great for irc lol
[10:40] <Bob26> starz: yeh i think so
[10:40] <MrWizeGuy> that's cool, wish i had a girl that was geek enough to use linux
[10:40] <Flannel> raboof: Yes.
[10:41] <starz> MrWizeGuy, lol...
[10:41] <Bob26> starz: its not very easy on the eyes though
[10:41] <BlueLagun2> Hmm, by PCI Express graphics card was giving me problems so I decided to remove it and use the onboard graphics instead
[10:41] <elky> MrWizeGuy, i've told numerous guys how cool linux is and had the same reaction. it's certainly *not* a gender induced reaction
[10:41] <BlueLagun2> However, now X won't start
[10:41] <BlueLagun2> Is there away for it to autodetect the graphics driver again?
[10:41] <MrWizeGuy> hmmm, guess it's different by area
[10:42] <BlueLagun2> The LiveCD detects the driver
[10:42] <CorpseFeeder> Should I download the XChat-Gnome front end too?
[10:42] <Kitu> how to install konqueror flash plugin  ?
[10:42] <Kitu> please
[10:42] <Lunar_Lamp> CorpseFeeder: no, xchat-gnome is a totally different application (which many consider inferior)
[10:42] <WalloO> CorpseFeeder, I prefer the normal xchat, not the gnome frontend.
[10:42] <raboof> Flannel: hrm, it contains a comment saying #### do not move or rename as the Ubuntu Bug Control team uses this page extensively ####
[10:42] <CorpseFeeder> ok. PLain Xchat is what I normally use anyway.
[10:43] <Flannel> raboof: Alright, then there must be some special circumstances.  There *is* an audio page in h.u.c
[10:43] <Flannel> !audio | raboof
[10:43] <raboof> Flannel: yes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[10:43] <lore17> when I run iwconfig the only interfaces that show up are lo and eth0, how do I go about bringng up my wireless interface?
[10:43] <starz> Kitu, typically that would be a #kubuntu thing
[10:43] <Kitu> ok
[10:44] <WalloO> lore17, use network manager applet
[10:45] <raboof> ubottu: actually, alsa doesn't work - it freezes any application that tries to make a sound though it
[10:45] <threexk> Jowi: you're right, Fluendo is legit.  Thanks for recommending them!  I'm going to use their free MP3 decoder
[10:45] <raboof> ow :)
[10:46] <Euphorysne_Eiren> ubotto: is a bot?
[10:47] <prodigel> WalloO: back. I'm running frontend on my backend machine and it's still slow, also I cannot see controls. left and right arrow seems to work but up/down(for channel switching) have no action
[10:47] <Baltazaar> ubotto is a bot
[10:47] <Baltazaar> It is the oracle
[10:47] <tenX> haha
[10:47] <tenX> yeah
[10:47] <Baltazaar> !ubotto
[10:47] <Euphorysne_Eiren> good one!
[10:48]  * SageLord sighs
[10:48] <SageLord> It would seem Grub has lost my Vista partition on its menu... could someone help me get it back?
[10:48] <CorpseFeeder> quick question - can someone remind me how to set xchat to automatically identify me to nickserv when I log in to freenode?
[10:49] <BlueLagun2> How do I redetect that graphics card in X?
[10:49] <Baltazaar> Oh... Thought it was a nightmare, but now it comes back to me... I'm being forced over to RHEL Desktop by company policy, for development... My Ubuntu does the job just as well... Stupid.
[10:49] <BlueLagun2> I took out my old one and now X won't start
[10:49] <raboof> ok, so https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems should describe how to file sound bugs, and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting should help you troubleshoot your problem yourself
[10:50] <Baltazaar> same tools :0
[10:50] <raboof> and they should link to each other
[10:50] <MrWizeGuy> CorpseFeeder, you can just go to servers and edit, add your nick and password there
[10:50] <BlueLagun2> *the graphics card
[10:50] <Flannel> SageLord: standard windows entry: title; root[noverify] hdx,x; makeactive; chainloader +1
[10:50] <raboof> does that sound reasonable?
[10:50] <MrWizeGuy> network list more specifically
[10:50] <SageLord> Flannel - How do I find out which HDX its on?
[10:50] <mario69> Hello there, just want to report a regression in Hardy. On Dell Latitude D820 it is now NOT possible to switch between LCD and CRT output (Fn+CRT/LCD key combination).
[10:50] <troxor> !nvidia
[10:50] <CorpseFeeder> MrWizeGuy, ah.. thanks
[10:51] <Flannel> SageLord: `sudo fdisk -l` (that's an L) will list partitions, check for an NTFS one.  And, also, (hdx,y) is the actual syntax.  parenthesis around the whole bit
[10:51] <jowy> how can i set a different port for a server in xchat?
[10:51] <SageLord> Flames - Thanks
[10:51] <asmo[B]> troxor: are you looking for nvidia drivers?
[10:51] <golb23> I just woke up, and noticed my pc had shut down, I want to know why, how do I locate the reason as to why it shut down?
[10:52] <Dr_willis_> golb23,  thunderstorms? power failure? :) those wont get logged.
[10:52] <Mo0oSaH> gnubie: could be overheating?
[10:52] <Dr_willis_> golb23,  in my house this week. its been the grandson pushing buttons on the   pc when no ones looking.
[10:52] <MrWizeGuy> Jowi,  you go to network list, edit on the server you want to change, then hit edit on the comand where it has the server and the /8001 or whatever it has
[10:52] <MrWizeGuy> jowy, *
[10:53] <tenX> Dr_willis_: hi *kneeling down*
[10:53] <golb23> Dr_willis_: lol nah no thunder storms or any kids near my setup :), I hope he didnt cause any severe damage with sudo ;)
[10:54] <CorpseFeeder> Does anyone here have a  Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] or know where to find proprietary drivers for same?
[10:54] <Dr_willis_> tenX,  Rise Phesant! :)
[10:55] <jowy> k, thanks, and how can i set my identd?
[10:55] <golb23> so anyone know where you can locate error messags, since my pc shut it self down for no reason when I woke up?
[10:55] <MrWizeGuy> identd?
[10:55] <tenX> jowy: edit /etc/xinetd.conf?
[10:56] <asmo[B]> CorpseFeeder: have you tried using envyng?
[10:56] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], using what? Is that a type of deodorant?
[10:56] <nisalome> i would like to ask something
[10:56] <asmo[B]> for installing ATI drivers
[10:57] <MrWizeGuy> i loved envyng
[10:57] <MrWizeGuy> it was great, installed my friend's ati drivers really well
[10:57] <BlueLagun2> Anyone know how to redetect my graphics card?
[10:57] <akhil_> I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed.
[10:57] <MrWizeGuy> BlueLagun2, is it an ati or nvidia?
[10:57] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], ok - where do I acquire this envy thingy from?
[10:57] <MrWizeGuy> if so, envyng is great
[10:58] <onats> i can't seem to change the them of my desktop. where do i go to do that?
[10:58] <MrWizeGuy> it's under system, preferences onats
[10:58] <onats> appearance?
[10:58] <akhil_> I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed. Anyone??
[10:58] <asmo[B]> CorpseFeeder:  sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-gtk
[10:59] <onats> what's a GDM theme? where do i install my downloaded theme?
[10:59] <FD_F> Hello i update to ubuntu 8 hardy on laptop R60e and Wifi not work anyone can help ? , thanks
[10:59] <akhil_> I had a similar problem installing Princeton wordnet
[10:59] <MrWizeGuy> yes appearance, sorry didn't see it
[11:00] <asmo[B]> CorpseFeeder: http://www.albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A
[11:00] <MrWizeGuy> onats, that's how you change the theme, but where do you find new ones?
[11:00] <MrWizeGuy> is it gnomelook.org?
[11:00] <onats> yes
[11:01] <onats> that's where i am looking
[11:01] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], thank you. I will go see what it does... and how completely and utterly it can break my system ;)
[11:01] <CorpseFeeder> bye
[11:03] <Baltazaar> art.gnome.org, is a starting point
[11:03] <onats> what about the buttons? how do i install them automaticallty?
[11:04] <Baltazaar> onats: comes with the theme packs
[11:06] <Baltazaar> install gnome-art, and it does things for you automatically... download, preview, etc...
[11:06] <creature> Hello. What's the name of the restricted drivers program? The executable?
[11:07] <onats> it comes with the theme packs, but how do i install it?
[11:07] <julian2495322> Hey everyone. My IT guy worked on my laptop today and now my hard disk only reads 40gb instead of 80gb. how can i fix this?
[11:07] <Baltazaar> jockey-gtk
[11:08] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], it appears envyng won't work with my ATI card
[11:08] <Baltazaar> creature: jockey-gtk
[11:08] <Baltazaar> /usr/bin/jockey-gtk
[11:08] <asmo[B]> oh :\
[11:08] <asmo[B]> shitty
[11:09] <Bob24> starz: k thanks ill see how it goes
[11:09] <MrWizeGuy> julian2495322, it sounds like it might have been partitioned, did you check all the partitions?
[11:09] <creature> Baltazaar: That's great, thanks.
[11:09] <maui> can someone advice me on what to do if there is an interface mssing?
[11:09] <asmo[B]> CorpseFeeder: sorry man, that's all I've got... still just learning myself
[11:09] <Knightly88> Anyone have a suggestion for a good FTP program? Thanks.
[11:09] <maui> my board does have 2 gigabit ports but all i get is eth0 :(
[11:09] <Baltazaar> maui: like what kind of interface?
[11:10] <maui> something like eth1 ;)
[11:10] <Az> julian - or maybe he put in a Smaller new drive :p
[11:10] <Knightly88> hey Maui... you in Maui?
[11:10] <tenX> Knightly88: i used to stick to gftp - on my gentoo installation it keeps crashing though :(
[11:10] <Baltazaar> maui: on the same nic?
[11:10] <maui> its an s3210shlx server board
[11:10] <MrWizeGuy> nice one Az, hope not though lol
[11:10] <maui> now i am in germany ;)
[11:10] <maui> dont know if its actually the same nic, both are mobo lan ports
[11:10] <tenX> maui: where exactly?
[11:11] <maui> aachen
[11:11] <Knightly88> funny... I'm actually on Maui ;)
[11:11] <CorpseFeeder> asmo[B], yeah.. it just says "your card is supported by the legacy driver" then immediately after it says "your card is not supported by the legacy driver" - it seems to be retarded.
[11:11] <tenX> maui: ah :) took part in security course at rwth last year
[11:11] <Baltazaar> maui: what happens if you plug in to port 2, does it live?
[11:11] <maui> yes it does lighten up the port on my switch
[11:12] <maui> tenX: cool, i am studying cs at rwth
[11:12] <julian2495322> thats what I think too. I have some "unnallocated space"
[11:12] <tenX> maui: cs? counterstrike?
[11:12] <maui> computer science
[11:12] <MrWizeGuy> are you looking at gparted julian2495322 ?
[11:12] <julian2495322> no. Linux Reader
[11:12] <Baltazaar> and ifconfig still just lists eth1, maui?
[11:12] <Baltazaar> eth0
[11:13] <maui> jep just eth0
[11:13] <MrWizeGuy> i'm not familiar
[11:13] <jimcooncat> is there a visual program to throttle bandwidth of individual apps?
[11:13] <maui> jep just eth0 /etc/network/interfaces
[11:13] <Silex> is there a place that provides packages with the newest versions of softwares?
[11:13] <jimcooncat> I'm tired of flash hogging the connection
[11:14] <Silex> some kind of HEAD repository :)
[11:14] <julian2495322> i know what i have to do
[11:14] <julian2495322> thanks for your help
[11:15] <troxor> asmo[B]: nah, just forgot the link.. thanks though :)
[11:15] <unop> Silex, you could do what is done in debian and backport packages from intrepid to hardy - add the source repos for intrepid to sources.list and compile the new versions of packages you need
[11:15] <Az> julian - sudo fdisk -l
[11:15] <rothchild> hi I'm trying to set up twinview with my nvidia 5200fx how do I get the screen the right shape and size out of the svideo which I have plugged in to my tv?
[11:15] <Silex> unop: ok, will look into that
[11:16] <Silex> my package should show up on packages.ubuntu.com tho right?
[11:16] <Silex> (for intreptid)
[11:16] <Silex> s/pt/p/
[11:16] <unop> Silex, only if you have added the intrepid deb-src repos tho
[11:16] <thyko> whats the best optical disc writting software right now?
[11:16] <rothchild> the nvidia xservers tool appears to only be marginly useful (although I might just not be using it right! ;-)
[11:16] <Silex> unop: no, I mean http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[11:16] <Silex> there's a search
[11:17] <Silex> I try to find a package for ghc6 for 6.8.3, there's only 6.8.2
[11:17] <thyko> anyone?
[11:17] <unop> Silex, and even then, intrepid's source repos might not contain bleeding edge versions of packages .. in that case you could compile from the actual maintainers tarball, but intrepid's source has a higher chance of working right/properly
[11:17] <akhil_> I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed. Anyone??
[11:18] <unop> Silex, right, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ should have them if they are available for intrepid
[11:18] <Silex> unop: okay that's what I thought... thanks
[11:18] <Silex> it's a shame no 3rd party repo is there with bleeding edge packages
[11:18] <thyko> anyone write cds here?
[11:19] <unop> Silex, there are the ubuntu PPA repos which private individuals maintain .. you might find some newer compiled binaries there
[11:19] <thyko> :/
[11:19] <greenland> Hello

[11:21] <JustinChuTw> Hello ... I am new to Ubuntu and hope that someone can help me with the following problem.  Every so often, when I start Ubuntu 8.04, the computer stops functioning after the desktop and both the Panels at the top and bottom of the screen appear.   Nobody can ask for help.
[11:25] <elky> greenland, starz, please keep this channel clear for support questions
[11:25] <Flannel> greenland: take it to #ubuntu-ops
[11:25] <Starbucks> ok
[11:25] <starz> greenland, thats what happens when you use !ops too much and lightly
[11:25] <greenland> what a fuck ?
[11:26] <WalloO> Starbucks, ask your question first.....
[11:26] <starz> elky, i'm not even close to offtopic, chill.
[11:26] <Starbucks> Well im considering duel booting Ubuntu with vista its downloading at the moment, I just want to knonw the benefits I will gain/lose with Ubuntu please.
[11:26] <julio_neto> =/
[11:26] <julio_neto> Starbucks, A lot of things.
[11:26] <starz> Starbucks, you can certainly dual boot. it will probably run much faster, and quite frankly compiz-fusion is way better than aero.
[11:26] <julio_neto> Starbucks, what do you do with your computer?
[11:26] <Starbucks> ?
[11:27] <WalloO> Starbucks, hmmmm... personnaly, I've both ubuntu and vista, and I used vista only for games I can't run on ubuntu using wine.
[11:27] <starz> there are far fewer viruses, and the popup that asks for permission to do things actually only comes up at a reasonable pace.
[11:27] <Starbucks> Play games like Wurm online (java I think) and runescape and crysis and things but also for general use like school work.
[11:27] <elky> starz, 'super stupid' was rather offtopic.
[11:27] <julio_neto> Starbucks, hmmm
[11:27] <Starbucks> ok so I should duel boot then wallo0?
[11:28] <akhil_> I am not able to install pidgin 2.4 on my Ubuntu 7.10. It asks for a GLIB package which i have installed. Anyone??
[11:28] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: imho, you should always dual boot if you have to ask that question
[11:28] <WalloO> Starbucks, I use vista for crysis. all the rest, even playin Counter-strike source work with linux
[11:28] <starz> elky, i was answering a question, and we  both know that the occational line here and there means nothing. as i was refering to myself i wasnt breaking any of the 'traditions' or whatnot, and it was perfectly family ok / work safe. chill.
[11:28] <Starnestommy> akhil_: how are you trying to install it?
[11:28] <WalloO> Starbucks, ho. I forgot to say i use vista to configure my Harmony remote.
[11:28] <tenX> Starbucks: using debian/ubuntu you have easy remote access guaranteed considering the latest security flaws
[11:28] <akhil_> Starnestommy, compling its source..
[11:28] <babo> when i set my mail server to forward mail from my domain to my email address, the mail server fills the Reply-To: header with an obsolete email address ...
[11:29] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok
[11:29] <Starnestommy> akhil_: did you get the right -dev packages for glib?
[11:29] <starz> tenX, actually running a simple update kills the ssh flaws.
[11:29] <Sandrone> ciao sandrone vi saluta
[11:29] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes, dualboot is a good solution
[11:29] <greenland> sTeVo hello
[11:29] <Flannel> !prevu | akhil_
[11:29] <tenX> starz: of course, but it was a true desaster :(
[11:29] <Sandrone> !list
[11:29] <akhil_> Starnestommy, Yes.. i installed libglib-dev
[11:29] <Starbucks> Are there any benefits to having a duel boot however instead of just vista
[11:29] <Flannel> !it | Sandrone
[11:29] <starz> tenX, not that bad actually, you would be surprised how few systems i saw get effected by that.
[11:29] <Starnestommy> akhil_: what about libglib2.0-dev?
[11:30] <Starbucks> Also I love the dreamscene feature on vista is there this feature on ubuntu please?
[11:30] <starz> Flannel, u chill with that buttonz too
[11:30] <WalloO> Starbucks, I use two disk one big for ubuntu and a smaller for Vista. When ubuntu run, I stop the vista disk to make my system noiseless
[11:30] <starz> oh nvm i read it wrong.... sowwie
[11:30] <starz> Starbucks, i quad boot.
[11:30] <Sandrone> sorry
[11:30] <WalloO> Starbucks, what is dreamscene?
[11:30] <Starbucks> wallo0 oh ok well I only have one disc so I think thats not going to be much of a problem
[11:30] <Sandrone> bye bood proseguiment
[11:30] <starz> hardy/gnome, xp, vista, hardy/kde4
[11:30] <akhil_> Starnestommy, I am installing that now
[11:30] <Starbucks> dreamscene is a video for the background
[11:30] <Sandrone> i non speeak inglish
[11:30] <Seras_Ubuntu> Hey, I'm a bit new to Ubuntu, and I've a quick question. I've got a USB thumb drive. Now, I'd delted all the files on it, my windows machine will read it as empty, but Ubuntu is still seeing it as full (no files) am I supposed to do somthing other than just delete the files?
[11:31] <tenX> starz: i didnt actually check any all of my the twenty systmes i was responsible for but recreated keys for ssh and espcecially ovpn
[11:31] <Flannel> Sandrone: /join #ubuntu-it
[11:31] <Knightly88> Anyone have a suggestion for a good FTP program?
[11:31] <wols_> !it | sanity
[11:31] <WalloO> Starbucks, hmmm don't know... just a second...
[11:31] <starz> tenX, i work at a datacenter.... about 7k systems... a third affected.....
[11:31] <tenX> heaven knows your mother lies!
[11:31] <akhil_> Starnestommy, Well now ./configure asks for GTK dev packages..
[11:31] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok
[11:31] <Mo0oSaH> Ubuntu runs significantly hotter on my computer than Vista, are there any measurements I could take to cool it down a bit?
[11:31] <wols_> akhil_: pidgin is in ubuntu
[11:31] <starz> akhil_, what are you tryuing to comiple?
[11:31] <tenX> starz: but did you check for the systems being affected?
[11:31] <JustinChuTw> Hello, everybody.  I am new to Ubuntu and hope that someone can help me with this problem that I am having once every so often.  Sometimes when I start Ubuntu 8.04, the computer freezes (stops functioning) after the desktop and both the Panels at the top and bottom of the screen appear.  The "User Name" and the Clock which should appear on the right side of the top Panel next to the "Shut Down" icon is missing and nothing happens wh
[11:32] <Starnestommy> akhil_: did you install libgtk2.0-dev?
[11:32] <starz> tenX, yeah
[11:32] <akhil_> starz, pidgin
[11:32] <Starbucks> Im just asking because at the moment im not seeing much of a need for ubuntu I just was interested if it gave any benefits to vista other than security..
[11:32] <tenX> starz: how?
[11:32] <wols_> Mo0oSaH: dunno if it's in ubuntu but powertop could be a way
[11:32] <starz> akhil_, is there some special feature you need?
[11:32] <starz> tenX, we have a forensic's team
[11:32] <akhil_> Starnestommy, no i guess. I did not know the package name..
[11:32] <wols_> !info pidgin
[11:32] <tenX> starz: and what did they do?
[11:32] <starz> akhil_, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pidgin pidgin-otr
[11:33] <starz> tenX, couple mitm's was about it
[11:33] <WalloO> Starbucks, take a look at that: http://youtube.com/watch?v=E4Fbk52Mk1w
[11:33] <druggy_> any idea on how to uninstall white cursors in ubuntu? im running already custom xinitrc, but that one still puzzles me
[11:33] <starz> i would say i see centos owned much more.
[11:33] <akhil_> starz, I am compiling the source as it is now. Though i thought i'd make some changes.
[11:33] <starz> though it was quite a hassle updating certs.
[11:33] <starz> akhil_, then: sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
[11:33] <Mo0oSaH> wols_: that looks interesting, will check it out
[11:33] <wols_> akhil_: then use the ubuntu source package
[11:33] <Flannel> Starbucks: It'll run faster, quite a few people find it more productive, etc.  You get automatic updates of all of your software at the push of a button, a vast catalog of software to choose from (and install safely, again, at the touch of a button)
[11:33] <akhil_> starz, What does that do?
[11:34] <tenX> starz: being aware of the incompleteness of tools i preferred recreating any keys and certs..
[11:34] <starz> akhil_, gets you everything you need to compile it. wols_ there is very trusty ;)
[11:34] <Flannel> akhil_: Check out prevu, it'll grab the version from Hardy (or intrepid) and compile it into a personal deb for you (it, and any libs you may need)
[11:34] <akhil_> Flannel, Thanks
[11:34] <dalhoom> hey guys, need help with nvidia and Hardy real bad!!
[11:34] <starz> tenX, yes - and i'm sure many had to get 'recertified' from the ca- people
[11:34] <wols_> starz: if he compiles from source he has a program outside the package management. that's bad. especially when there is no need for it
[11:34] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok flannel: ok well Ill try it out and see if I like it
[11:34] <gordonjcp> !ask | dalhoom
[11:34] <starz> hi dalhoom
[11:34] <julio_neto> where can I find a guide for new users? A guide about soft open-source and things like it?
[11:35] <tenX> starz: i sell linux as a security plus and got disappointed in a way customers couldnt even estimate
[11:35] <starz> wols_, thats why i asked why he was doing so -
[11:35] <WalloO> Starbucks, in fact, with ubuntu, there are a lot of very useful free software you can't find for vista, and you can do many good things very easily
[11:35] <Flannel> julio_neto: https://help.ubuntu.com/
[11:35] <starz> tenX, agreed.
[11:35] <Starbucks> wallo0 cube! :)
[11:35] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: like Flannel said, best thing I love about Ubuntu is the free software!  Theres a 106 page long thread on ubuntuforums.org where people are just talking about cool software they use that others might not know of
[11:35] <julio_neto> Flames, are you sure
[11:35] <starz> but tenX blame #debian not #ubuntu
[11:35] <julio_neto> ?
[11:35] <Starbucks> really?
[11:35] <wols_> starz: so was i. but he insisted on compiling and a few changes. in whcih case: ubuntu source package
[11:35] <tenX> starz: it was an overkill
[11:35] <Flannel> julio_neto: Thats a guide for new users, yes.
[11:35] <WalloO> Starbucks, and there are many other things.... watch the whole video
[11:35] <tenX> starz: a desaster :(
[11:36] <starz> wols_, there's always svn... :P just depends on how bleeding edge one wants to go.
[11:36] <Starbucks> do all the things I see on that video wallo0 come with ubuntu?!
[11:36] <Knightly88> I have LFTP installed on my Ubuntu System however I can't find any files to open the program... anyone know of the link/file name? or does this program run in the terminal?
[11:36] <starz> wols_, i do xchat, mplayer, vlc, from scratch, the rest from repos
[11:36] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes... If you like to learn things, this is pretty cool. The more you will understand linux, the more you will understand Windows
[11:36] <starz> oh and ffmpeg and x264
[11:36] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: either they come with it or you can get them easily at no cost guaranteed!
[11:36] <rubydiamond> hi ppl
[11:36] <dalhoom> ok, the message ' your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly' keeps poping every time I reboot, and I get low resolution and no desktop effects
[11:37] <starz> wols_, frankly someone should port ports over to ubuntu. i want ebuilds.
[11:37] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: well it depends on how you define easily
[11:37] <Mo0oSaH> lol
[11:37] <wols_> starz: it would go against the design, intent and purpose of ubuntu
[11:37] <starz> dalhoom, which card model do you have exactly?
[11:37] <starz> wols_, and it would go right with choice.
[11:37] <Starbucks> I didn't say easily at all did I?!
[11:37] <wols_> it might work for debian but only might
[11:37] <dalhoom> geforce go 7400
[11:38] <Mo0oSaH> Starbucks: I did :)
[11:38] <Starbucks> :P Sounds good though I like the cube effect...will it all work with my hardware?
[11:38] <Starbucks> Mo0o oh ok :P
[11:38] <Flannel> starz: There are other distros that have similar goals, you may wish to look into them
[11:38] <wols_> dalhoom: what videodriver?
[11:38] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes, in fact, unbuntu include thousand of software you can install from a single interface. this is conpiz-fusion. It'S installed by default, but you need to enable extra effect in the configuration panel, and install compiz-manager to finetune. But everything is done from ubuntu software manager. don't have to look around on several web sites
[11:38] <starz> Flannel, been there, spun that. i want the best of both worlds.
[11:38] <Starbucks> wallo0 can I disable certain features I don't want...?
[11:38] <dalhoom> glx-new I guess
[11:38] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok
[11:39] <wols_> dalhoom: that's no driver
[11:39] <Jambon> hello. I've been having this issue. See when I switch resolution up from 1024.768 the top panel won't go over to the edge of the screen. It only goes over 1024 pixels and the rest is dead space. this quirk would be ok, if it didn't wreak havoc with the video players. totem shows only black until you drag the window past the end of the panel, and vlc won't fullscreen properly
[11:39] <Starbucks> wallo0 so its pretty simple to use then
[11:39] <wols_> and if you "guess" you don't even know
[11:39] <WalloO> Starbucks, you can configure everything, that'S fun.
[11:39] <WalloO> Starbucks, for example, my desktop look like a macosx one, but I can make it look like vista, etc...
[11:39] <starz> Jambon, you are on vga connection?
[11:39] <Starbucks> wallo0 cool!
[11:40] <dalhoom> sorry, nvidia-glx-new
[11:40] <Jambon> starz: I believe so
[11:40] <generic> hi all any one works on opensc and openct
[11:40] <generic> ?
[11:40] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes, simple, and on ubuntu website forum, you will find the answer to 99% of your questions
[11:40] <Rocko> yay :) i got my vnc working from my Windows machine to my ubntu machine
[11:40] <Rocko> :P
[11:40] <Starbucks> So tell me...Could I have aero looking window panes and then have the cube effect and things and the other effects like wobbly windows aswell then?
[11:40] <Jambon> starz: yes, actually.
[11:40] <starz> Jambon, xrandr |grep current
[11:40] <jmazaredo> is it safe to change smtp banner to whatever word or sentence?
[11:40] <WalloO> Starbucks, at the beginning, you will have to look at what software you like and do what you want, but after that, it works smoothly.
[11:41] <Jambon> starz: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 864, maximum 1280 x 1200
[11:41] <Starbucks> wallo0 ok cool...and what is this wine program you were talking about? Does it run windows programs?
[11:41] <the-herby> does anyone know why the fonts:/// location isnt working in hardy gnome?
[11:41] <dalhoom> everything was working fine in gutsy, after hardy upgrade it got missed up
[11:41] <WalloO> Starbucks, my girlfriend knows nothing about computers. I set an account on my linux box for her, and she never asked me a question.
[11:41] <rubydiamond> dalhoom: what happened
[11:41] <starz> dalhoom, i'm not very familiar with that card
[11:41] <rubydiamond> I just installed gutsy on my work machine
[11:42] <Starbucks> wallo0 so its pretty simple to learn then?
[11:42] <julio_neto> Starbucks, do me a favor, please. Start tipping my name and press TAB key. After press enter.
[11:42] <starz> Jambon, do the resolution thing, and tell me what refresh are you at?
[11:42] <dalhoom> it came with dells laptop xps m1210
[11:42] <Starbucks> julio_neto
[11:42] <starz> and also Jambon does it give you a drop down to change refresh rate
[11:42] <Starbucks> ooo nice :)
[11:42] <Jambon> starz: though in preferences the screen resolution manager says I'm at 1152x864@75hz
[11:42] <WalloO> Starbucks, wine allows you to run windows programs in linux like word, counter-strike, etc...
[11:42] <Starbucks> WalloO: So I could run my games then?
[11:43] <Flannel> Starbucks: Depends on the game
[11:43] <starz> Jambon, try messing with preferences screen resolution
[11:43] <julio_neto> Starbucks, do it when you wanna talk directly to somebody
[11:43] <Starbucks> Flannel: Well like the sims games and spore and things?
[11:43] <dalhoom> does it have anything to do with the kernel type or sth?
[11:43] <Jambon> starz: just the resolution or refresh rate too?
[11:43] <WalloO> Starbucks, not all games, but some of them yes... for more information, look at www.winehq.org, there is a software compâtibility list
[11:43] <starz> dalhoom, sth ?
[11:43] <Starbucks> julio_neto: Yeah ok trying to now :)
[11:43] <starz> Jambon, all of that
[11:44] <Starbucks> WalloO: ok
[11:44] <starz> and compair if it matches to what xrandr is telling you
[11:44] <julio_neto> Starbucks, perfect
[11:44] <dalhoom> headers and stuff, I'm a newbie to linux
[11:44] <starz> dalhoom, uname -a
[11:44] <Starbucks> julio_neto: Im getting quite excited about my new operating system xD and is it always going to be free by the way?
[11:44] <WalloO> Starbucks, most of the time, the problem with games is the "copy protection" which doesn't work perfectely with wine
[11:44] <eraldo> wasn't there a shortcut for ls -<list dirs before files>
[11:44] <dalhoom> Linux sami-laptop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 4 16:35:01 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:44] <Starbucks> WalloO: Ahhh ok...
[11:45] <anto>  /join #zftalk
[11:45] <WalloO> Starbucks, it's double free... free of charge and free like open (open source)
[11:45] <julio_neto> Starbucks, I think so
[11:45] <Starbucks> WalloO: Are there any games like the sims on linux then? I presume you have games made for linux right?
[11:45] <Starbucks> WalloO: Nice one
[11:45] <julio_neto> Starbucks, Ubuntu is free, always will be.
[11:45] <starz> anto, you can get the / to show by using two of them:
[11:45] <julio_neto> thus like Linux
[11:45] <starz> /something goes here
[11:45] <Starbucks> julio_neto:Cool
[11:46] <Jambon> starz: I only have one option at 1152 (75Hz) and 1280(60hz). in both the top bar only goes 1024 over then stops. restarting or making new bars doesn't change this behavior
[11:46] <elky> Starbucks, linux has been free and free for longer than the live of most people in this channel
[11:46] <anto> starz, i was changing channel
[11:46] <LinuxHelp> What are the rules for the non-free repository? Does the program have to have source code available to be included?
[11:46] <starz> Jambon, what video card/drivers?
[11:46] <Starbucks> elky: :O cool so it will never be charged for?
[11:46] <starz> anto, oh, lol
[11:46] <WalloO> Starbucks, there are several games. You will find a list in the software install interface, but games is not the best thing for linux. However, you have Quake3 clone games (openarena)
[11:46] <julio_neto> elky, isn't  would be better say will be free for ever?
[11:46] <starz> !free
[11:46] <Mo0oSaH> LinuxHelp: I think non-free means that the source code is not available
[11:47] <dbmoodb_> elky: when was linux never free ?
[11:47] <Starbucks> WalloO: Howcome there not the best for linux?
[11:47] <Rocko> How do i kill the vncviewer session that is connected to my ubuntu machine ?
[11:47] <dalhoom> in the upgrade process it asked me if I wanted to keep the old one (<IP_ADDRESS>) and I did, but changed to this new because I thought this may be the cause of the problem
[11:47] <elky> dbmoodb_, when was mount everest not the tallest mountain?
[11:47] <StooJ> I need some advice on where to look for help. My gran is struggling with her computer these days because of poor eyesight. I'd like to work on some kind of high-visibility uber-simple gnome desktop and let her use that. Anyone know where I should go to find help?
[11:47] <starz> Mo0oSaH, see above free link.. free as in speach, and free as in beer.
[11:47] <Starbucks> WalloO: Will java games like runescape and wurmonline work with ubuntu?
[11:47] <dbmoodb_> elky: those are not equal
[11:47] <starz> StooJ, your in luck
[11:47] <dbmoodb_> linux to my knowledge was always been free
[11:47] <starz> gran is using gnome ?
[11:47] <Mo0oSaH> starz: yes...
[11:47] <dalhoom> tried to use envy but did not work either
[11:47] <StooJ> starz - not yet, but she will be
[11:47] <Starbucks> WalloO I really must go get some breakfast in a minute I will continue this conversation afterwards if you still online :) thanks for all your help by the way.
[11:47] <starz> Mo0oSaH, and typically yeah
[11:48] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes. You can install java 5 and java 6 from sun
[11:48] <dbmoodb_> except before its release perhaps
[11:48] <starz> StooJ, in the repository's accessable via add/remove or synaptic are high contrast themes.
[11:48] <Starbucks> wallo: Will it be installed automatically when I install ubuntu? :S
[11:48] <Jambon> starz: ati mobility 9200.
[11:48] <starz> also right click on desktop, do change desktop background, click on font tab, go advanced, and change dpi as needed
[11:48] <WalloO> Starbucks, no, but you can install it from the software manager called synaptic
[11:48] <starz> Jambon, might be you need a better driver.
[11:48] <starz> !ati
[11:49] <dalhoom> and I downloaded the new driver from nvidia site and complied it, but it failed because the gcc 4.1 is not compatible with gcc 4.2
[11:49] <Ven]n> whats the default text editor in ubuntu? gedit?
[11:49] <Starbucks> two last questions open to anyone is will my 8500GT work with the graphics there...1GB ram...and is there a good search feature like windows has?
[11:49] <Ven]n> xfce uses mousepad
[11:49] <WalloO> Starbucks, this is synaptic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[11:49] <Starnestommy> Ven]n: I think ubuntu's default is gedit
[11:49] <dbmoodb_> Starbucks: yes trackerd is good
[11:49] <StooJ> starz - yep, been looking at them but it's not really what I'm wanting.
[11:49] <Starbucks> WalloO: Synaptic right ill remeber that thanks :)
[11:49] <Ven]n> Starnestommy: ok.. i just found it a bit heavy
[11:50] <glick> hey whats the difference between hybernate and standby on laptops?
[11:50] <WalloO> Starbucks, yes for all. I use a 8800GT and it works pretty well... :)
[11:50] <StooJ> starz - it's a start, but I'm thinking more along the lines of bigger icons, bigger fonts for tooltips etc etc
[11:50] <Mo0oSaH> glick: hibernate saves the contents of memory to hard drive and powers off completely.  Standby just puts your system in low power state
[11:50] <WalloO> Starbucks, just enable nvidia driver when ubuntu will talk you about that.
[11:50] <Starbucks> WalloO: Pretty well? So it might not work that good then?
[11:50] <Starbucks> WalloO: ok
[11:51] <dbmoodb_> glick: one powers the computer down and turns off minus keeping things in ram, the other saves what was in ram to the disk and then turns off. there is also the option on linux to suspend to both.
[11:51] <starz> StooJ, also turn down resolution i suppose,..
[11:51] <WalloO> Starbucks, there is no reason. I use my 8800GT with dual screen... It works perfectely
[11:51] <glick> Mo0oSaH, does it maintain network connections in standby?
[11:51] <dalhoom> anyone?
[11:51] <Starbucks> Well I must be off for a bit now guys thanks for all your help WalloO especially :). See you later.
[11:51] <glick> like IM
[11:51] <dbmoodb_> s2both will produce a suspend like state and if your powerruns really low mean you keep your data
[11:51] <Starbucks> WalloO: Alright thanks :) bye for now
[11:51] <julio_neto> glick, normally don't
[11:51] <dbmoodb_> glick: no ... those things are turned off
[11:51] <Mo0oSaH> glick: your network goes off from what I understand
[11:51] <Starbucks> 28% and counting :P
[11:51] <starz> StooJ, dpi does do that
[11:52] <Kitu> hello
[11:52] <Kitu> WTF ?
[11:52] <Mo0oSaH> glick: the entire purpose of standby is to save power when you're not using your computer
[11:52] <starz> StooJ, i just tested all the way to 140dpi
[11:52] <dalhoom> anyone knows how to fix the nvidia drivers problem after upgrade to hardy?
[11:52] <Kitu> http://www.kenzooz.com/up/Capture-1.png
[11:52] <starz> Kitar88, dont do w t eff they ban here.. bit trigger happy
[11:52] <dbmoodb_> dalhoom: install the package for it ?
[11:52] <WalloO> dalhoom, which problem?
[11:52] <Kitu> http://www.kenzooz.com/up/konqueror%20(kon%20=%20stupid%20in%20french).png
[11:53] <Rocko> How do i kill the vncviewer session that is connected to my ubuntu machine ?
[11:53] <StooJ> starz - smeg! That's a brilliant idea!
[11:53] <Igramul> Kitu, missing flash plugin?
[11:53] <Kitu> Why nobody answer me ?
[11:53] <dalhoom> when I enable the restricted drivers and reboot, a message pops up before logging in saying cannot detect card and screen correctly
[11:53] <starz> Kitar88, working fine here.
[11:53] <Kitu> Igramul, missing non ...

[11:54] <starz> StooJ, glad i could help ;)
[11:54] <GetReady> aSESIN
[11:54] <starz> also StooJ try installing gnome-art - some themes let you change the colors so you can get more color contrast if desired
[11:54] <StooJ> Now to find out how to make the icons larger :)
[11:54] <GetReady> Asesin ima
[11:54] <Jambon> starz: as for the binary drivers, are you sure a 9200 falls under that need?

[12:03] <tenX> Kitu: dont use konqueror as a internet browser but i guess you'll have to create a fitting symbolic link or direct copy within the specified directory
[12:04] <Kitu> kiki@kiki-desktop:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so

[12:04] <Kitu> i scan to active it
[12:05] <starz> however most individuals/companies run their own repo for at least a while. or have packages premade on their site, etc.
[12:05] <Kitu> tenX, i have added in konqueror plugin conf : /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/
[12:05] <Kitu> and i have scanned
[12:05] <tenX> Kitu: scanned?
[12:05] <Kitu> scan for new plugins
[12:05] <tenX> Kitu: wow is that a konqueror option?
[12:05] <tenX> Kitu: scan around?
[12:06] <Kitu> and in plugin list tab i have flashplayer-nonfree
[12:06] <tenX> Kitu: sounds good to me
[12:06] <Kitu> ?

[12:18] <CorpseFeeder> Help! I uninstalled the non-working envyng driver... now my screen res is locked at 640x480. How do I make it restore the driver originally used when Ubuntu was installed?
[12:18] <starz> [03:56] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: uninstall in envy then reinstall the card driver from the repo.
[12:18] <orphean> blumm: Open a nautilus window then go to Edit->Preferences  In the 'Views' tab change Default Zoom Level under Icon View Defaults to 67%
[12:19] <SyncMaster213> starz that post on ubuntuforums was started by me - it doesn't reveal the location of the file
[12:19] <SyncMaster213> starz but thank you anyway
[12:19] <gordonjcp> CorpseFeeder: you're going to need a young priest and an old priest, and maybe some candles
[12:19] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: What exactly are you trying to do?
[12:19] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: or, to put it another way, rather than focusing on trying to find a specific app to solve a problem, how about describing the problem you're trying to solve?
[12:20] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I'm trying to download videos from youtube - I've used several tools that I don't like and I used to have Capture 'n Convert
[12:20] <orphean> blumm: actually i lied. apparently that box doesn't have 67%. sigh
[12:20] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I know it's on sourceforge but I can't seem to find it
[12:20] <CorpseFeeder> starz orphean : I don't know where the original driver from the repo is. I searched ATI radeon and installed the thing which came up, and that is what locked my res to 640x480
[12:20] <blumm> orphean: :D
[12:20] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: it was a great tool
[12:20] <blumm> orphean: theres 75% and 50%
[12:20] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I'm aware of all the other tools that you can find via google like converttube so please don't post them
[12:21] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: there is absolutely nothing called "Capture 'n Convert" on sf.net
[12:21] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: are you sure you've got the right name?
[12:21] <blumm> orphean: 50% is better too, thanks
[12:21] <Tallken> SyncMaster213: LOL, you can always grab the video at your /tmp ;)
[12:21] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I can also pull the files from the firefox cache but I just liked the features and organisation of capture 'n convert
[12:21] <orphean> blumm: i just checked in gconf and there's no way to make it be default for values other than those, so i'm glad you're happy w/ 50% :)
[12:22] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: try the fglrx driver
[12:22] <blumm> orphean: thanks
[12:22] <blumm> in rhythmbox, how can i remove an album in the library? delete or right-click dont work?!
[12:22] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: wouldn't be "youtubecatcher" would it?
[12:22] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, ok.
[12:22] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: xorg-driver-fglrx
[12:23] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I'll take a look at the program
[12:23] <darius_> Hi, maybe somebody know how solve “cups-missing-filter” problem? I have this problem on my desktop with ubuntu 8.04 and canon pixma mp160 printer. On notebook with some version of ubuntu this printer work perfect, only one difference than desktop upgraded from 7.10, notebook have fresh install. Solution provided in forum with “sudo aa-complain cupsd” command doesn't help. Sorry for my english, this is not my native language :)
[12:23] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: I've received several other options and suggestions but I just really liked the program and I re-imaged my lapper and didn't keep the program
[12:23] <starz> ok i found it
[12:23] <starz> SyncMaster213, think i got it
[12:23] <Dr_willis_> darius,  i belive there are some cups ppd packages not installed by default. CHeck thepackage manager and install any that are not installed?
[12:23] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: from the command prompt the program was executed by using the command "cac"
[12:23] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: there's always something you foreget to back up
[12:23] <gordonjcp> *forget
[12:24] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: so true
[12:24] <SyncMaster213> starz: where did you find it ?
[12:24] <starz> sourceforge
[12:24] <starz> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5231456#post5231456
[12:24] <SyncMaster213> starz: sec while I check that thread

[12:25] <starz> gordonjcp, i dont normally go that far
[12:25] <starz> but I WANT THE STAR
[12:25] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: that is actually called "catch and convert", looks good
[12:25] <starz> i dont think ihave any yet ;_;
[12:25] <tenX> starz: the STAR?
[12:25] <SyncMaster213> starz: I'll star you - I'm strAlan

[12:25] <golb23> anyone know a site where you can store online text files, like good linux commands? like pastebin but it kinda stays forever
[12:25] <starz> gordonjcp, and i'm at work

[12:26] <starz> Sat Jun 21 04:26:08 PDT 2008
[12:26] <jsnt_99> hi
[12:26] <SyncMaster213> gordonjcp: please let this be a lesson to you to never speak in absolutes: "<gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: there is absolutely nothing called "Capture 'n Convert" on sf.net"
[12:26] <starz> darkangel42, easiest way is to look in ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs
[12:26] <darkangel42> thank you
[12:26] <starz> if you have logging on then you can see the channels youve been to, otherwise you need to try a channel list, np
[12:26] <DistroJockey> golb23: www.google.com/notebook   ?
[12:27] <orphean> good call DistroJockey
[12:27] <darkangel42> ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs
[12:27] <darkangel42> ok
[12:27] <DistroJockey> orphean: cheers :)
[12:27] <darius_> Dr_willis, i try use some drivers mp150, on notebook it works, on desktop not, an desktop before upgrade printer worked
[12:27] <SyncMaster213> starz: I starred you
[12:27] <naught101> is there any way to download a streaming .asx file for offline viewing in ubuntu?
[12:27] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: there wasn't - I was absolutely correct
[12:27] <SyncMaster213> starz: Thank you so much :)
[12:27] <linny> hey all does anyone know if its possible to telnet from ubuntu to a windows server if so how ?
[12:27] <gordonjcp> SyncMaster213: it was called something else
[12:27] <Dr_willis_> naught101,  theres some 'streamripper' tool ive used befor.
[12:27] <orphean> linny: the windows server would need a telnet server installed.
[12:27] <starz> lol thanx SyncMaster213 .. its all good.. i'm going to have to give that little bugger a run
[12:28] <jsnt_99> i have problem with my key board configuration any body can help me
[12:28] <orphean> linny: most likely what you want is ssh however... in which case it needs an ssh server installed ;)
[12:28] <linny> it has but i get a protocol mismatch
[12:28] <starz> jsnt_99, oh?
[12:28] <blumm> orphean: is there any option in nautilus to set the view like in the active window?
[12:28] <orphean> blumm: not quite sure what you mean
[12:28] <naught101> Dr_willis_: for video as well?
[12:29] <jsnt_99> hi
[12:29] <blumm> orphean: i want to set all folders to 50% now but nautilus remembers my old 67% settings and i dont want to change it in every single folder
[12:29] <starz> jsnt_99, if your in gnome try: system > preferences > keyboard preferences "layouts" tab
[12:29] <Dr_willis_> naught101,  i used the tools to rip video from some shoutcast streams to play offline. I dont rember the name of the prog.
[12:29] <naught101> ok
[12:30] <jrib> blumm: edit preferences -> defaul zoom level   does not work?
[12:30] <orphean> jrib: it works but nautilus remembers the settings on a per window basis. so new windows will come with the default.
[12:30] <blumm> jrib: it does but when i go to a folder where i changed it before to 67% it wont change to 50%
[12:30] <blumm> orphean: exactly
[12:30] <orphean> blumm: i can't think of a good way other than deleting your nautilus settings folders.
[12:31] <starz> DistroJockey, didnt know about that notebook one, genious
[12:31] <IndoRama> which one you think is the coolest free game on Ununtu ?
[12:31] <golb23> DistroJockey: yeah exactly like that but google doesnt support opera, so i cant write anything
[12:31] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, that didn't work.   It is remembering the ones you changed, so you want to delete wherever it is storing that info?
[12:31] <linny> in the email from the server company ssh is on port 22 on the windows server, how would i go about connecting to that from my ubuntu home machine ?
[12:31] <DistroJockey> starz: heh, used it for ages, tis a nice one, cheers :)
[12:31] <blumm> orphean: hmmm
[12:31] <orphean> jrib: yeah that's it.
[12:31] <Zanth_88> IndoRama: there are a lot of games for linux. depends on your tastes. FPS? RTS? etc.
[12:32] <DistroJockey> golb23: ohh :(
[12:32] <starz> here's one for you: did you know you could drag tabs from one instance of firefox to another?
[12:32] <orphean> CorpseFeeder: try running sudo aticonfig --initial at a commandl ine.
[12:32] <jrib> orphean: ~/.nautilus/metafiles/*
[12:32] <IndoRama> RTS...any suggestions ?
[12:32] <bo0ts> hi there
[12:32] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, isn't there some way I can run the screen configuration thing again which originally set up the video card when I installed ubuntu?
[12:32] <golb23> DistroJockey: appearntly they dont support konqueror either :/
[12:32] <blumm> jrib: all in nautilus/metafiles/ can be deleted?
[12:33] <Zanth_88> IndoRama: maybe Glest
[12:33] <bo0ts> ive already postet a thread on the dell support forum. anybody willing to look into the issue with me?
[12:33] <DistroJockey> golb23: Firefox works :)
[12:33] <starz> ooo
[12:33] <golb23> DistroJockey: yeah but let's just say I prefer opera ;(
[12:33] <jrib> blumm: sure, move them instead of deleting them just in case you see something you missed later
[12:33] <starz> DistroJockey, you should try that cac
[12:33] <golb23> :P

[12:33] <iCEifer> hello, when running kubuntu  I find that many apps stall by the window/app freezing  such as when audacious is launched to play a stream, a java applet is started,  etc...sometimes it recovers but not always, any ideas what might be causing this?
[12:33] <bo0ts> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=836143
[12:33] <blumm> jrib: ok thanks, will try that
[12:34] <DistroJockey> blumm: what about changing the nautilus prefs using  gconf-editor  ?
[12:34] <IndoRama> Zanth_88: Thanks, let me try it
[12:34] <Zanth_88> you're welcome. good luck.
[12:34] <blumm> DistroJockey: im not pro enough to edit (meaning: i dont know how to do that) :)
[12:34] <DistroJockey> blumm: find it in  apps - nautilus - icon_view
[12:35] <starz> iCEifer, first #kubuntu is th main channel for that..
[12:35] <iCEifer> starz, oh, sorry....but I had the same issue with kubuntu as well :)
[12:35] <iCEifer> starz, er, ubuntu I mean
[12:36] <gcu> hi guys
[12:36] <DistroJockey> blumm: not sure what are acceptable values are though
[12:36] <blumm> DistroJockey: just checked and didnt find it
[12:36] <Altecyrae> Herlo everyone
[12:37] <gcu> hello altercyrae
[12:37] <jrib> DistroJockey: that's the same thing exposed in edit -> preferences in nautilus though, so I'm not sure it will be any different.  No harm in trying though
[12:37] <DistroJockey> blumm: gconf-editor  then browse to  apps  then  nautilus  ?
[12:37] <gcu> distrojockey i need ya help buddy
[12:37] <Altecyrae> Anyone have any good suggestions for replacements parts for XFCE4?  Panel, desktop, WM, etc?
[12:37] <gcu> can ya help me out wid my prob
[12:37] <DistroJockey> jrib: I was assuming gconf-editor would be a global setting *shrugs*
[12:37] <blumm> DistroJockey: ah, got it
[12:38] <DistroJockey> gcu: ask away, I'll see what I can do ;)
[12:38] <orphean> DistroJockey: the acceptable values are strings mapped to the percentages in the ui. (small, large, smaller, etc). you can't set an arbitray percentage there and there's nothing in there that will solve blumm's current problem.
[12:38] <DistroJockey> orphean: ahh, thanks for that :)

[12:39] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, I tried that.. the screen resolution is back to normal, but it is complaining about can't detect the hardware when it boots up. Also the hardware test thing fails to show the video test now.
[12:39] <starz> iCEifer, try booting to livecd, install badblocks and check that, and do a memtest86+
[12:40] <jrib> blumm: tried killing and restarting nautilus afterwards?

[12:45] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  demand a refund? or file a bug report.
[12:45] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: i am sure there is already one
[12:45] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  the issues ive been having 2ith samba are neither of those 2 issues you mention.

[12:46] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  you might want to check the forums, there may be some bug/workaround info.  My issue is with gnome/kde file manager and smbfuse, not seeing the windows shares/network at all.
[12:46] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  but odly enough if i run smb4k - it can see/mount the windows shares fine.
[12:46] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: i am having problems with sharing, not viewing shares
[12:47] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  Yep. Im having the exact opposite.    Windows can get to the linux machines fine.

[12:48] <Muhammad_Saad> Hello, Can someone tell me how long it may take for Firefox 3 to be available for Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy?
[12:48] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  down with progress!
[12:48] <CorpseFeeder> orphean, yeah. Seems my laptop hates it.
[12:48] <rsk> Muhammad_Saad: it won't be in gutsy
[12:48] <skal_> hey
[12:49] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: i just want the losers who broke it to know they have broken it
[12:49] <skal_> im on 8.04
[12:49] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: where can i find them?
[12:49] <skal_> msingh any doubts?
[12:49] <orphean> Muhammad_Saad: never in the repos. if you want it you'll have to do so from outside the official repo tree.
[12:49] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  from what ive read in the forums - the issues are hard to track down.. But it seemed that using the older version of samba, fixed the problems.. but thats not a good 'fix'
[12:49] <DistroJockey> Knightly88: I assume you are not using 8.04?
[12:49] <skal_> i think slackware is good
[12:50] <DistroJockey> Knightly88: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712212
[12:50] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  oddly enouhg - my installs of Linux Mint (ubuntu variant) do NOT seem to have the problem.
[12:50] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: for you? for me it's they decided to stop using the old way and switched to a new one which doesnt work. which is bloody frustrating for a user
[12:51] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  theres the new samba in the works also. :) wonder when it will be ready.
[12:51] <happywithltsp> #ltsp
[12:52] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: im sure this is not a samba problem -- this is a ubuntu problem and specifically a 8.04 problem because i never had any problems with 7.10
[12:53] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  from what ive read. (go check the forums if you want) it seems tobe somthing very hard to track down.    THeres  plenty of evidence there is a problem.. just no one can seem to track down what specifically is the issue.   I posted my info/specs/stuff to the forums to help out the others.. but ive not checked on the thread lately
[12:54] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: the forums are no good unless someone is having the same exact problem as you and they are smart enough to leave enough clues to find that thread
[12:54] <DistroJockey> msingh`, Dr_willis_ : what was the issue again?
[12:54] <msingh`> DistroJockey: samba sharing is broken
[12:54] <DistroJockey> msingh`: as in you use Connect to server ?
[12:54] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  guess ya jut give up then, or sit in here and rant all day.  I found quite a few threads on the topic.  and learnd a few things.
[12:54] <Dr_willis_> Off to recheck the threads i bookmarked.
[12:55] <msingh`> Dr_willis_: there is nothing i can do about it though except complain about a broken distro because this is a very important feature for pretty much any computer user
[12:55] <jrib> msingh`: the comments in the bug for your issue is usually where you can get some answers
[12:55] <msingh`> give me a link
[12:55] <msingh`> it's not like i havent spend many hours of my life searching google already
[12:55] <jrib> msingh`: you said you were sure one was filed.
[12:55] <DistroJockey> msingh`: if you use connect to server, the link gets put in places and a blank window of the machine opens, then you need to click on the share in places and it works
[12:56] <sharperguy> Anyone know if theres a fix/workaround for opengl windows flickering while running compiz-fusion (without turning it off)?
[12:56] <blumm> how can i change user rights in gproftpd so uploaded stuff is accessible to the normal user?
[12:56] <DistroJockey> msingh`: I believe it is a gnome-keyring issue
[12:56] <jrib> msingh`: bugs.ubuntu.com
[12:57] <msingh`> jrib: that's not helpful
[12:57] <screenname57648> hello. How do you set the default action for when a dvd is inserted please?
[12:57] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  i was having my issues under kde, and fusesmb as well. :)
[12:58] <Moodles> i was playing around removing useless things like openoffice, evolution etc, but when i rebooted i lost the top menu bar, the one that includes date/time/applications etc
[12:58] <DistroJockey> Dr_willis_: ahh, fair enough.
[12:58] <msingh`> why is it a keyring issue?
[12:58] <jrib> msingh`: it is.  Search for your issue.  "samba sharing is broken" isn't a helpful description even if someone was willing to search for you
[12:58] <DistroJockey> msingh`: something to do with the authentication I guess (but I could be wrong)
[12:59] <msingh`> jrib: it is broken though!
[12:59] <orphean> Moodles: make sure you didn't uninstall gnome-panel
[12:59] <msingh`> sharing doesnt work -- what more can i say?
[12:59] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  of course im finding dozens of weird issues with samba, and whats really weird is that smb4k worked fine on hardy. and now i have some Linux Mint box's that are all working fine..
[12:59] <Moodles> synaptic shows gnome-panel is still installed
[12:59] <msingh`> http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=181
[12:59] <jrib> msingh`: start with that then.  And compare the bug reports about broken sharing to your situation
[12:59] <msingh`> that's the first hit on google. so i see more and more poeopel are having the same problem
[13:00] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  really got me confused  that smb4k worked.
[13:00] <Moodles> ill try installing missing gnome-* ones
[13:00] <msingh`> jrib: there is not much more to say. the silly ubuntu maintainer who broke iit nows needs to step up
[13:00] <jrib> msingh`: open source is a two way street between users and developers.  I don't understand why you would prefer to rant instead of helping with the bug process
[13:00] <orphean> Moodles: if its installed try hitting Alt-F2 and then running gnome-panel
[13:01] <bjb1959> my xserver broke after an auto-upgrade last night. all I have is 640x480 resolution and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work any ideas?
[13:01] <orphean> Moodles: see what happens at least :)
[13:01] <DistroJockey> Dr_willis_: Not looked into it much. I just connect to Windows shares. And even that doesn't work flawlessly.
[13:01] <msingh`> jrib: how do you propose i help? it's been months since this bug came about
[13:01] <jrib> msingh`: link me to the bug
[13:01] <jrib> report
[13:01] <msingh`> jrib: i pasted a link already
[13:02] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  yep. My issue seems to be more of a 'scan the network and it instantly times out' issue.  The windows boxs have no issues connecting to the linux machines
[13:02] <jrib> msingh`: to the bug report?  Sorry, I didn't see it.  Can you link again?
[13:02] <Moodles> ok i got the panel back
[13:02] <sanity> Preventing bugs is down to the QA processes, and formalizing those processes?  IS the developer's job.
[13:03] <msingh`> jrib: i dont know.
[13:03] <bjb1959> my xserver broke after an auto-upgrade last night. all I have is 640x480 resolution and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work any ideas?
[13:04] <Moodles> orphean: if i reboot will gnome-panel load automatically?
[13:04] <jrib> msingh`: this is my point.  The best place for you to get insight into your issue and to help in solving it is bugs.ubuntu.com
[13:04] <msingh`> jrib: i'll have a look now
[13:04] <orphean> Moodles: it should yes. if it doesn't then come back here.
[13:05] <DistroJockey> Dr_willis_: ahh. I never use a scan network as I'm used to Browse Network in Windows with a very large Active Directory not working very well :)
[13:05] <Dr_willis_> DistroJockey,  i normally used the smbfuse stuff.. but it started not working on me during beta. couldent even track down   good error messages to report.
[13:06] <blumm> how can i change the accessibility of files being uploaded by another user on gproftpd?
[13:07] <Moodles> i find webmin does a better job of administrating proftpd
[13:07] <blumm> can anybody help me with gproftpd ?
[13:08] <msingh`> jrib: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/235622
[13:08] <lakeoftea> hey cheers X 100000 to the ubuntu project for making linux easy to install omg that might have been easier than windows to install for me
[13:08] <msingh`> this is one of them, im sure there are others
[13:08] <msingh`> actually nm, that one was just badly titled
[13:09] <bjb1959> my xserver broke after an auto-upgrade last night. all I have is 640x480 resolution and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work any ideas?
[13:09] <Dr_willis_> msingh`,  i noticed that bug also and found it confuseing also... :) thats how the kde/gnome file managers work..
[13:09] <msingh`> bjb1959: what drivers are you using?
[13:10] <Moodles> bjb1959: did you reconfigure xserver-org package?
[13:10] <rsl> morning.
[13:10] <rsl> can someone tell me what user/group /var/log/apache2 should be by default?
[13:10] <bjb1959> msingh the linux-restricted drivers that automatically install by kernel version
[13:11] <doctorow> I used synaptic to install Firefox 3.0 on my Gutsy machine and all the UI text (dialog boxes, searchbar, location bar) shows up as little mushroom-shaped characters instead of roman/english ones. What did I do wrong?
[13:11] <jrib> rsl: root/adm
[13:11] <bjb1959> moodles, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only reconfigured my mouse and keyboard. didn't ask about video card
[13:12] <rsl> jrib: thanks.
[13:13] <doctorow> I used synaptic to install Firefox 3.0 on my Gutsy machine and all the UI text (dialog boxes, searchbar, location bar) shows up as little mushroom-shaped characters instead of roman/english ones. What did I do wrong?
[13:14] <Riotta> maybe it's your profile doctorow
[13:14] <doctorow> Riotta: tell me more?
[13:14] <bjb1959> msingh, moodles any ideas?
[13:15] <Riotta> move it your profile in /home/yourusername/.mozilla/firefox to some backup directory and run firefox again doctorow
[13:15] <msingh`> bjb1959: sorry i didnt catch your answer
[13:16] <bjb1959> msingh, the linux-restircted drivers for the kernel installed
[13:16] <msingh`> with the proprietary drivers it could be anything. sorry i cant help you
[13:16] <doctorow> Riotta,
[13:16] <gordonjcp> msingh`: with the free drivers it could also be anything
[13:16] <gordonjcp> msingh`: particularly with nvidia
[13:16] <doctorow> Riotta, I did that and when Ffox 3 relaunched the confirguration Ui was still all in bad characters
[13:17] <msingh`> gordonjcp: true, atm i am stuck with VESA on one of my machines because there is no free driver and the nvidia one doesnt work
[13:17] <Riotta> is english your native language ? or u use something more exotic maybe it's locales fault? bad localization or bug in them
[13:17] <screenname57648> hello
[13:17] <screenname57648> folks how do you skype on ubuntu?
[13:17] <gordonjcp> msingh`: the nvidia free driver only supports vesa 640x480 anyway
[13:18] <bjb1959> msingh, agree with gordonjcp. free drivers don't work with 3d. but the problem is I can't even get dpkg-reconfigure to install the nv driver
[13:18] <gordonjcp> screenname57648: install skype, configure mike, phone people
[13:18] <doctorow> Riotta, I'm a native English speaker, and the rest of my UI is in English
[13:18] <screenname57648> what about ekiga
[13:18] <Riotta> ok
[13:18] <Riotta> well hmm :d
[13:18] <Dmole> how do I run something as a different user (VLC from CRON)
[13:18] <Dmole> ?
[13:18] <msingh`> gordonjcp: hmm nope i've done higher reses with the nv driver before
[13:18] <msingh`> Dmole: su - user
[13:18] <screenname57648> does ekiga do the skype protocols?
[13:19] <Riotta> what can I say maybe somehow the firefox package corrupted you using it from ubuntu repository or some other place ?
[13:19] <Dr_willis_> Dmole,  running a gui app from cron, may not work very well.
[13:19] <screenname57648> also, how do you do iTunes on ubuntu?
[13:19] <Riotta> if it's corrupted go to synaptic and reinstall the firefox package
[13:19] <doctorow> Riotta -- I tried reinstalling, no love!
[13:19] <phdmybest> could not complier libpng.the system said:checking for zlibVersion in -lz... no
[13:19] <phdmybest> configure: error: zlib not installed
[13:19] <phdmybest> anybody could help?
[13:19] <Jack_Sparrow> doctorow Just out of curiosity did you install FF3 off the web (non-reop version) prior to the one from synaptic
[13:19] <Duesentrieb> hi all
[13:20] <doctorow> Jack_Sparrow, no, using Synaptic
[13:20] <nomopofomo> Jack_Sparrow, the perfect guy. I bet you know. Have you ever heard of anyone updating their motherboard firmware using a DOS emulator?
[13:20] <bjb1959> so I get the feeling that no one knows how to help me?
[13:20] <Riotta> doctorow: what window manager you use ?
[13:20] <Riotta> gnome ?
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> nomopofomo no on in their right mings
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> minds
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry fingers not awake yet
[13:20] <doctorow> Riotta, yes, Gnome
[13:20] <Duesentrieb> when i use cron to automatically execute jobs, where will output/errors be logged? From server systems, i'm used to getting them per system mail, but ubuntu doesn't have an MTA installed per default.
[13:20] <Duesentrieb> so, where do they go`?
[13:20] <nomopofomo> Jack_Sparrow, haha... okay... so I should probably download FreeDOS and do it like that?
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> nomopofomo Much better choice
[13:21] <doctorow> Riotta, Also, the UI is HUGE -- all the buttons are GIGANTIC, as is the Googlebar, etc
[13:21] <jsnt_99> qualcuno parla in italiano
[13:21] <Riotta> ah
[13:21] <Jack_Sparrow> nomopofomo flashing is so critical on timing you dont want anything os or vm in there that could disrupt it
[13:21] <screenname57648> bye!
[13:22] <Riotta> I think it could be a wrong dpi setting problem doctorow
[13:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !it > jsnt_99
[13:22] <doctorow> Riotta, but it seems like it's just in FFox 3, not in any other apps or the Gnome or FFox 2
[13:22] <nomopofomo> Jack_Sparrow, thanks for the tip. :)
[13:23] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[13:23] <Riotta> doctorow: try what happen if you move entire .mozilla folder to another place and restart firefox
[13:24] <Jack_Sparrow> doctorow the first thing I would do is save my bookmarks to a safe place
[13:24] <orphean> like delicious heh
[13:24] <Riotta> Jack_Sparrow: I said move not delete ;)
[13:24] <doctorow> Riotta, same thing...
[13:24] <Riotta> ok
[13:25] <Riotta> doctorow: give me the answer of this command 'xdpyinfo | grep resolution'
[13:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Riotta Understood..  but it is still a good idea before he does much of anything to save those
[13:25] <doctorow> Oh shit. I just did mv .mozilla .mozilla.bak and relaunched, then did mv. mozilla.bak .mozilla and when Ffox 2 came backup, all my config/bookmarks were gone
[13:26] <Dr_willis_> doctorow,  this is why  i like those web based bookmarking sites/extensions. :)
[13:26] <insomninja> anybody know why using a sample proven to work xmonad.hc doesn't work for me in ubuntu? http://www.nopaste.com/p/aN73E1Oocb
[13:27] <starz> insomninja, eh?
[13:27] <doctorow> OK, well now I have bigger problems. I guess I need to go find my backup at the office.
[13:27] <starz> more info please
[13:27] <Jack_Sparrow> docgnome sorry buddy

[13:32] <marlun> How can I stop Ubuntu from playing a song if I select it on the Desktop?
[13:32] <sanity> ctrl-alt-backspace
[13:32] <marlun> Right now it's playing a song that I selected and removed and I have no idea how to turn it off... :/
[13:32] <rsk> http://www.sauerbraten.org/
[13:32] <cgentry72> starz, then what
[13:32] <rsk> is there any #ubuntu-games ?
[13:32] <orphean> marlun: that will kill the xserver if you do that (ctrl-alt-backspace) be forwarned.
[13:33] <starz> cgentry72, then you punch the gateway in firefox
[13:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !games > rsk
[13:33] <starz> Jack_Sparrow, |
[13:33] <marlun> orphean: So I have to restart xserver for this? Thats not very good :)
[13:33] <Jack_Sparrow> starz either work
[13:33] <golb23> why cant we burn dvd9s in linux.............. it doesnt add up :( :(
[13:34] <insomninja> starz, a very standard xmonad (tiling window manager) configuration file gives an error, that merely tells something went wrong when loading the file, but not what.
[13:34] <starz> Jack_Sparrow, really?
[13:34] <starz> !w32codecs > starz
[13:34] <starz> oh

[13:38] <matt444> orphean:  thanks
[13:38] <matt444> orphean:  postfix can send directly from my computer?
[13:38] <arthur> that worked had to remove the folder with all the configuration files in it...

[13:50] <Daenyth> How can I make firefox load urls from a middle click with url in the clipboard
[13:50] <Daenyth> It does it for me on archlinux, but ubuntu appears to have patched that out
[13:50] <starz> Daenyth, where the favicon goes
[13:50] <starz> to the left of the url
[13:50] <Gaming4JC> Jack_Sparrow: Hmm... ok. I was still hoping for that pay for driver site. The auto-detction was a nice touch. :)
[13:50] <Daenyth> I could always just midclick inside the page though
[13:50] <J1> daenyth - it does work for me. if i click a link with the middle mouse button (the wheel) it get opened in a new tab
[13:50] <Daenyth> How can I get that behavior back.
[13:51] <Daenyth> J1: that's not what i'm talking about
[13:51] <jrib> Daenyth: it's setting in about:config, middlemouse.contentLoadURL

[13:51] <gnumm> does kde4 work stable and well in kubuntu?
[13:51] <Daenyth> hmm
[13:51] <Daenyth> it's already set to true!
[13:52] <PincoPallino> hi to all
[13:52] <Daenyth> does the ubuntu modification extension disable it or something?
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/
[13:52] <Knightly88> Can someone tell me if I need to set/install something to get a bigger screen resolution? Does the size of screen resolution depend only on the Graphics Card or the settings/OS as well?
[13:52] <Gaming4JC> Jack_Sparrow: yay, thnx :)
[13:52] <wbadger> hello, I've just installed xubuntu 8.04 which also reinstalled grub, and when I try to boot into it I get "Starting up" and the screen freezes. Can anyone help?
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[13:52] <Sockmonkey> How do I connect to internet on ubuntu with a tiscali USB modem? I've tried in networks, but can't get it to work. :/
[13:53] <jrib> Daenyth: that was what you had to do 2 releases ago, maybe something else changed now
[13:53] <Knightly88> My current screen resolution is 1280x1024 however my buddy on his laptop can get like 1400x900... anyone know how? or is this based completely off the graphics card?
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth there is a #ubuntu-kde4 channel
[13:53] <Daenyth> jrib: balls, ok. I'll try disabling the modification extension
[13:53] <wols_> !fixres
[13:53] <Gaming4JC> Ubuntu is awesome once you figure it all out.
[13:53] <Daenyth> Jack_Sparrow: not me
[13:54] <Gaming4JC> hmm be back l8r all.
[13:54] <orphean> Knightly88: graphics card and the resolution of your screen. hardware :)
[13:54] <JaCib> wbagder: try to shift to tty1 during startup (Alt+F1)
[13:54] <Gaming4JC> thanks again. :D
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> gnumm  there is a #ubuntu-kde4 channel
[13:55] <wbadger> JaCib: I tried, it does not work. I don't think linux even started up
[13:55] <Knightly88> Thanks
[13:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth MIssed it by THAT much.. in my best Maxwell Smart Voice
[13:55] <gnumm> i joined it
[13:55] <Daenyth> lol
[13:55] <J1> its a personal matter for me to get this idea going. anyone with 1min spare time, please read it and if u agree vote! http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/10140/
[13:55] <J1> help us get more support on ubuntu
[13:55] <Jack_Sparrow> J1 PLease dont
[13:56] <LimCore> what is a good CPU/mem/temp/etc monitoring program with GUI?  Flexible (adding many sensors) etc?
[13:56] <Jack_Sparrow> LimCore lmsensors perhaps
[13:56] <Flynsarmy> After a while of being logged on sound stops working in games for me. anyone know why that'd happen?
[13:56] <WalloO> LimCore, screenlets + watermark screenlet
[13:57] <JaCib> wbagder: do you know anything about your harddrive setup?
[13:57] <WalloO> LimCore, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/WaterMark+system+information?content=71960
[13:57] <Daenyth> jrib: installing tab mix plus fixed it, it must be related to that extension. Thanks for your help
[13:57] <JaCib> wbadger: maybe is there errors in grubs startup commands
[13:58] <wbadger> JaCib: yes, I have one hard drive, with 4 partitions. first two are NTFS for windows, 3rd is ext3 on which I just installed xubuntu 8.04, and 4th is swap
[13:58] <Daenyth> ew, single partition install
[13:58] <Daenyth> split /home next time at least
[13:58] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[13:58] <wbadger> JaCib: thanks, I thought so too, but I didn't find any important difference between new and old menu.lst
[13:59] <Daenyth> for me, I always split at least /home, and usually /boot too
[13:59] <Daenyth> if I were running a production machine I'd split /usr and /var as well
[13:59] <wbadger> Daenyth: how does splitting /home help?
[13:59] <JaCib> wbagder: check if the grub startup command points to /dev/sda2 or /dev/hda2
[13:59] <WalloO> LimCore, with watermark, you can easily change fan speed, and even overclock or underclock your video card from the system.
[13:59] <Jack_Sparrow> wbadger MAkes upgrades and reinstalls a breeze
[13:59] <Daenyth> wbadger: it helps massively for reinstalling/backups/distro change
[13:59] <Daenyth> it means if you fuck up your /, your settings are still intact
[13:59] <Flynsarmy> Woudl having VirtualBox open have anything to do with sound not working in games after a while?
[13:59] <Daenyth> well, user settings at any rate
[14:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth Family friendly language please
[14:00] <ompaul> !language | Daenyth
[14:00] <Daenyth> similarly for /boot, having it separate and mounted read-only means you can still boot
[14:00] <wbadger> Daenyth: I just backed up all my stuff :P but your method is better, Ill do that next time.
[14:00] <Daenyth> sorry bout that
[14:00] <Daenyth> wbadger: :)
[14:00] <Kele1> Is there any possible to running WOW on ubuntu? anyone knows?
[14:00] <Daenyth> Kele1: WoW runs well in wine I am told
[14:00] <wbadger> JaCib: what sturtup command are you referring to
[14:00] <DjViper> how do you run a .jnlp file?
[14:00]  * LivingInTwilight always puts /home on a separate partition. A separate disk, if he can.
[14:00] <Daenyth> in any case
[14:01] <Flynsarmy> Kele1, It runs with wine. you could check the WINE app db to see if your version works
[14:01] <Daenyth> later, thanks for the help
[14:01] <ubuntu> Wine 1.0 works great.
[14:01] <wbadger> DjViper: with javaws I think
[14:01] <DjViper> okay
[14:01] <Kele1> Flynsarmy: it is runs as windows with wine?
[14:01] <WalloO> Kele1, yes, it'S possible with wine, but I heard a guy who had is account disabled becauyse they thought he was using bots, but in fact he just played from linux. don't know how blizzard deals with that now
[14:02] <Flynsarmy> Kelel: Wine is an implimentation of windows for unix. it lets you run windows apps on ubuntu
[14:02] <Leefmc> Question: Is there an apt-get flag/command to completely remove an app? In the package manager, i notice there is a "Mark for complete removal" which removes settings, old dirs, etc, which i see that apt-get remove is leaving intact.
[14:02] <orphean> Leefmc: purge
[14:02] <LivingInTwilight> Leefmc, aptitude purge <blah>
[14:03] <Leefmc> aptitude? new command :o, k thanks
[14:03] <Flynsarmy> LivingInTwilight, What's the diff between apt-get purge and apt-get remove?
[14:03] <LivingInTwilight> Flynsarmy, remove preserves configuration entries and files. Purge does not, by design.
[14:03] <Flynsarmy> LivingInTwilight, Thanks
[14:03] <wbadger> JaCib: menu.lst has this line under the ubuntu titles : root		(hd0,2)
[14:04] <Kele1> OK, for all your help, i will check info about wine how to run WOW, just take a try... lol
[14:04] <LivingInTwilight> Leefmc, aptitude is a curses-based menu-driven interface to apt-get and dpkg. Entering simply 'aptitude' will start it. However, it also supports many of the same options that apt-get does, and from what I am aware, it has better dependency tracking. It will remove packages no longer required by dependencies. Not sure if apt-get does that, but I've had cases where it didn't.
[14:04] <mib> hi..i have a problem in dvd
[14:04] <WalloO> Kele1, wait...
[14:04] <mib> when i load the dvd inside, it said "CANNOT READ DATA FROM RESOURCE"
[14:05] <mib> please help
[14:05] <Sockmonkey> Can anyone help me get internet onto ubuntu? I can't get it to work. :/
[14:05] <Zanth_88> Sockmonkey: open a Terminal and type 'sudo pppoeconf'
[14:05] <WalloO> Kele1, to have everything working, you will need to install dx9. So take a look at dx9 install tutorial for wine, and follow each step carefully.
[14:05] <Leefmc> LivingInTwilight: Well apt-get does have apt-get autoremove, which does something similar it sounds like
[14:05] <crm_> is there a reasonable driver for ntfs nowadays?
[14:05] <mib> anyone could help
[14:05] <crm_> r/w?
[14:05] <Flynsarmy> LivingInTwilight, Are apt-get and aptitude the same thing?
[14:06] <mib> it comes up Error read datra from resource
[14:06] <WalloO> crm_,  for sure. 3g
[14:06] <LivingInTwilight> Flynsarmy, no. As I said, aptitude is an interface for apt-get.
[14:06] <WalloO> crm_, it's now enabled in ubuntu8.04 by default
[14:06] <LivingInTwilight> Flynsarmy, however, the syntax is much the same.
[14:06] <crm_> WalloO.. is that now considered "stable"?
[14:06] <Kele1> WalloO: its OK. thanks for your suggestion..
[14:06] <Sockmonkey> Zanth_88, what do I need to do after that? (It's dual booted with XP so I can't do it step by step :/)
[14:06] <rsk> crm_: stable since quite a while
[14:06] <LivingInTwilight> Flynsarmy, apt-get install/remove/purge/search = aptitude install/remove/purge/search
[14:06] <JaCib> wbadger: is it possible to show me your menu.lst file? (pastebin)
[14:06] <Flynsarmy> mib: Make sure you've restarted after you install all the dvd stuff.
[14:06] <WalloO> crm_, it's enabled by default in ubuntu, and I never had a problem using it.
[14:07] <crm_> rsk.. ta
[14:07] <Zanth_88> Sockmonkey: are you on Ubuntu now, or XP?
[14:07] <IronRoses> does anyone have the NETGEAR WG511U pcmcia wireless card working with latest ubuntu?
[14:07] <mib> Flynsarmy: i just want to open a dvd
[14:07] <Sockmonkey> XP, otherwise I wouldn't need to know how to get internet working?
[14:07] <mib> what does the error means anyway
[14:07] <LivingInTwilight> Leefmc, aptitude does it automatically. If there is an unneeded library after you remove something, it cleans it out.
[14:07] <Zanth_88> hmm
[14:07] <Leefmc> LivingInTwilight: Gotcha
[14:07] <Flynsarmy> mib: Not a clue. All i know is i installed the video dvd stuff earlier today and it wasn't working. I restarted and now it is
[14:07] <LivingInTwilight> Now I'm going to go through my new quad-core Xeon into my server...
[14:08] <mib> what dvd software you using
[14:08] <mib> in your ubuntu
[14:08] <kandinski> is there a gui app to enable deadkeys on an english keyboard layout?
[14:08] <vlad> Sorri!I don't speak engish
[14:08] <WalloO> LivingInTwilight, does xeon processors overclock easily?
[14:08] <crm_> is compiz fusion easy to install now?
[14:09] <orphean> crm_: its installed by default in hardy
[14:09] <wbadger> JaCib: http://paste.uni.cc/18898
[14:09] <erUSUL> crm_: is installed by default in hardy
[14:09] <Flynsarmy> mib: VLC is the best one i've found so far. If you use totem it doesn't support menus
[14:09] <gnumm> crm_: it's installed by default in hardy
[14:09] <WalloO> LivingInTwilight, is it possible to be a 150% normal speed on air cooling with a quad core Xeon?
[14:09] <mib> im using totem now
[14:09] <LivingInTwilight> WalloO, I have no idea, I don't do overclocking much.
[14:09] <Elijah> I need some grub help!
[14:09] <mib> is it apt-get install VLC?
[14:09] <Ad84> is there any online video tutorials on ubuntu or linux training?
[14:09] <LivingInTwilight> WalloO, I know that you can do something similar with the Core 2 Quads. Q6600, G0 stepping, can go from 2.4GHz to 3.4GHz stable on air.
[14:09] <Elijah> I have installed ubuntu since 7.04
[14:10] <danbhfive> Ad84: for free?
[14:10] <gnumm> crm_: you can configure it with "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager"
[14:10] <Flynsarmy> mib: lowercase, but yes
[14:10] <danbhfive> Elijah: whats the problem
[14:10] <WalloO> LivingInTwilight, my Q6600 is very stable at 3.6 by air. But I don't know for Xeon.
[14:10] <orphean> mib: type aptitude search <whatever> to find packages.
[14:10] <Ad84> yes or at a price whatever is out there:)
[14:10] <Flynsarmy> mib: To install the stuff that lets dvds play, do the 2 commands on this page: http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands. then reboot
[14:10] <LivingInTwilight> WalloO, Honestly, I think you're probably good to go. The Xeon processors aren't much different - I think they're just a better binning of their associated Core 2.
[14:11] <JaCib> wbadger: is your dics a sata or old ide?
[14:11] <srn> just installed lates ubuntu on  a thinkpad, during the installation the wifi card seemed to work fine (it's a dwl-660) but now i cant get it to work at all, dhclient just says "mp dhcpoffers recieved
[14:11] <danbhfive> Ad84: well, Ubuntu.com/canonical has put out a training course recently.  Its like $100, maybe more, but I think it all supports ubuntu.  You auto check it out, let me see if I can find a link
[14:11] <cheDu> hello there
[14:11] <DIL> Ad84: some folks have done some videos on youtube - you may want to query any specific topic followed by youtube and you may get a hit
[14:11] <Ad84> ok thanks
[14:11] <WalloO> LivingInTwilight, I will think about it, since I will have very intensive calculation (optical calculation). And 50% faster can be greate... :)
[14:12] <wbadger> JaCib: I'm actually not sure, but I think its sata
[14:12] <danbhfive> Ad84: http://www.ubuntu.com/training
[14:12] <Igramul> Hi, how can I tell the linux kernel not to use too much memory for disk caching? I have a low-memory system and get  "0-order allocation failed" errors while the kernel is wasting 8MB for disk caches.
[14:12] <doktoreas> hello everybody
[14:12] <Elijah> danbhfive, I installed Ubuntu at 7.04 and have upgraded every version since and am now at 8.04, I originally had xp on the tower, i did a dual boot, it all works good but my boot loader gives me 8.04 kernel 2.6.24-16-generic, 8.04 kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (recovery mode), 8.04 kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
[14:12] <Elijah> danbhfive, hold on
[14:12] <corporal_clegg> anyone with an iPod Touch?
[14:12] <doktoreas> fo testing purpose I am going to set up an Ubuntu server with postfix
[14:13] <gnumm> can i use the packages from www.getdeb.net also in kubuntu kde4? or is it for the gnome desktop?
[14:13] <doktoreas> I have got a static ip and a domain..how can I using it for managing my mail?
[14:13] <doktoreas> should I change something with DNS?
[14:13] <erUSUL> Igramul: tweak something in "ls /proc/sys/vm/*" ??
[14:13] <Elijah> danbhfive,   8.04 kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery), 8.04 kernel 2.6.20-16-generic, 8.04 kernel 2.6.20-16-generic and then 2 seperate win xp pro 's under "other operating systems"
[14:14] <WalloO> doktoreas, setting upo a mail server which work perfectely is not so simple
[14:14] <Igramul> erUSUL, thanks for the hint
[14:14] <Elijah> danbhfive,  so I have six options for ubuntu and 2 for xp, i need to change the default to xp and get rid of all the old ones, and need to know why when I upgrade it makes more entries in grub
[14:14] <WalloO> have to go bye
[14:14] <Elijah> danbhfive, how do i even edit grub
[14:15] <erUSUL> Igramul: sorry for not being more precise ...
[14:15] <Elijah> To everyone - Dropbox linux client for Ubuntu Gnome Nautillus will be released any day now!
[14:15] <orphean> doktoreas: www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts  you can just pay attention to the email parts. it will walk you through a reasonable setup.
[14:15] <danbhfive> Elijah: ok, well, for every kernel installed, a set of options is automatically inserted into grub.  3 for each, normal recovery memtest.    Just uninstall extra kernels to get rid of those
[14:15] <JaCib> wbagder: try this instead: http://paste.uni.cc/18899
[14:15] <doktoreas> orphean: thanks for the link
[14:16] <doktoreas> what I don't understand if I should do something with DNS
[14:16] <Elijah> danbhfive, How do I unsinstall kernels?
[14:16] <danbhfive> Elijah: to change the default that is selected at bootup, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst              There are options in there.  You should be careful, read through it, and understand it
[14:17] <Elijah> danbhfive, So why doesn't ubuntu uninstall old kernels on upgrade?
[14:17] <danbhfive> Elijah: you could try synaptic, look for a package that starts with linux-image, and ends with the version number you want to get rid of
[14:17] <DrHalan> hi guys, totem and nautilus (when displaiyng video previews) became extremly unstable. what could be the reason for that?
[14:17] <danbhfive> Elijah: in case the new kernel doesnt work, that way you can still boot into the old kernel
[14:17] <wbadger> JaCib: ok, I will be back afterwards but it could take some time, thank you very much
[14:17] <Elijah> danbhfive, that makes sense
[14:18] <yrjokin> how do i get the process list up in ubuntu please?
[14:19] <rsk> yrjokin: top
[14:19] <rsk> yrjokin: as in any other distro
[14:19] <yrjokin> rsk: i use ctrl + Esc in mandriva - I don't understand what you mean by top (sorry)
[14:20] <DIL> yrjokin: ps aux
[14:20] <rsk> yrjokin: write that in a terminal and press enter
[14:20] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know why sound stops working in games after a little while?
[14:21] <danbhfive> Flynsarmy: what game?
[14:21] <yrjokin> i was looking for the gui version but that is just as good - thank you guys
[14:22] <Raiders32> I tried to install a piece of software using wine.  I get a message stating '/home/myusernam/.wine is not owned by you'.  However when I use ls to list directory contents it tells my the file's owner is myusername and the group is myusername.
[14:23] <jrib> Raiders32: paste the output of: ls -ld ~/.wine
[14:23] <abelabel> hi, after a partially failed ubuntu studio installation (8.04) on my laptop, I now have a functioning Grub menu and can start Ubuntu, but only get access to the command line. I've tried installing gnome and kde using apt-get and did a "sudo apt-get upgrade", but when typing "gnome-session" I get a warning: Gtk-warning **: cannot open display - any hints how to resolve this? I'm dual booting and can acces the file system.
[14:23] <Elijah> danbhfive, so basically when you dual boot ubuntu it installs grub and makes it the default bootloader and disables/deletes the windows booter
[14:23] <esteth> Hi everyone. How do i get the latest drivers for my intel GMA graphics?
[14:23] <the-herby_> hello. i installed ubuntu-xen-server on gutsy and now it always gets unresponsive so that no key stroke will geht through :( this happens even if i boot up the normal kernel.
[14:23] <jrib> abelabel: /join #ubuntustudio
[14:24] <ubuntu> Could I use "SAMSUNG SpinPoint S166 160GB SATA2 8MB 7200RPM" in a HP Pavilion dv6386eu laptop?
[14:24] <ubuntu>  2,5" or 3,5"?
[14:24] <abelabel> jrib, will do
[14:24] <wbadger> JaCib, Hi, I'm back and unfortunately your suggestion didn't work.. Do you have any other ideas by any chance?
[14:24] <Elijah> danbhfive, so I can just delete these entries from the menu.lst in grub? Are you saying I should also uninstall the kernals?
[14:24] <Xpistos> Hi everyone! Is there a way so that when I minimize my window instead of it being .1 mm smaller, it will shrink to about 1/4 the size of the maximized window as a default?
[14:24] <kestrel> yrjokin:look at System >> Administration >> System Monitor
[14:25] <JaCib> wbadger: And still just a freezing screen?
[14:25] <yrjokin> okay - ty
[14:25] <Raiders32> jrib: how do I paste?  cut in terminal and paste here?
[14:25] <wbadger> JaCib, exactly the same as before.. it says "starting up" and freezes there
[14:25] <jrib> Raiders32: sure, it's only one line
[14:25] <Raiders32> jrib: troy@gw01:~$
[14:25] <Raiders32> troy@gw01:~$ ls -ld ~/.wine
[14:25] <Raiders32> drwxr-xr-x 4 troy troy 4096 2008-06-21 09:18 /home/troy/.wine
[14:25] <Raiders32> troy@gw01:~$
[14:26] <Elijah> how do I save the menu.lst file it says I don't have permission
[14:26] <the-herby_> what can i do if gnome does not respond to any action? not even the restart of X is working in that case.
[14:26] <jrib> Elijah: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:26] <Elijah> jrib, does that mean i ahve to use a terminal window?
[14:26] <jrib> the-herby_: raise skinny elephants (google this)
[14:26] <jrib> Elijah: yes, but your editor will be gui
[14:27] <jrib> the-herby_: well, first, try ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a tty.  ctrl-alt-f7 brings you back
[14:27] <the-herby_> the ctrl-alt-fN does not work
[14:27] <Elijah> jrib, thanks, i noticed there is terminal and gnome-terminal, are they the same program?
[14:27] <jrib> Elijah: by default, yes
[14:28] <Flynsarmy> danbhfive, Supertux2 but it also happens on jedi academy2 in wine so it's not just the one game
[14:28] <mnemo> how can I see what files were added to my system when I installed a certain package??
[14:28] <Flynsarmy> danbhfive, The problem is that the sounds work for a little whiel of being logged on, but after i quit the game and start it up again later the sound doesn' towrk
[14:28] <jrib> Raiders32: strange behavior then.  Try #winehq maybe
[14:28] <Elijah> jrib, wait, terminal does not work
[14:28] <Raiders32> jrib: thanks
[14:28] <jrib> mnemo: dpkg -L PACKAGE    or some gui option in Synaptic if you prefer
[14:28] <jrib> Elijah: be more specific...
[14:28] <Elijah> the black screen one, what is that one
[14:28] <Elijah> terminal
[14:29] <Elijah> gnome-terminal = black background
[14:29] <mnemo> jrib: thanks, that's exactly what I needed
[14:29] <Elijah> i mean white
[14:29] <esteth> Does anyone know of a tool similar to T-Search but for linux?
[14:29] <cs02rm0> how can i find the /dev/ reference to a USB device i've plugged in?
[14:29] <JaCib> wbagder: I'm sorry, but i cannot help you :(
[14:29] <jrib> Elijah: I don't understand what you are asking.  The colors are completely customizable
[14:29] <Tux2K8> I have many files named X.part01.rar , X.part02.rar ... etc... how do I extract all of them using unarar??????????
[14:29] <jrib> esteth: explain what T-Search does
[14:29] <Elijah> jrib, when you open the terminal in alt+f2 what command do you put in box
[14:30] <jrib> Tux2K8: extract the first one
[14:30] <esteth> jrib: Ok
[14:30] <wbadger> JaCib, thank you very much for your help.. I'll try other things.
[14:30] <rsk> Tux2K8: unrar x part00.rar
[14:30] <yrjokin> kestrel: DIL: & rsk: thank you
[14:30] <jrib> Elijah: gnome-terminal.  But just use the menu item: Accessories -> Terminal
[14:30] <tjea> Hi all
[14:30] <Tux2K8> COOL! it works..thanks
[14:30] <esteth> Does anyone know of a program capable of "hacking" processes by searching through their memory for values, and allowing you to lock them / change them
[14:31] <jrib> esteth: a debugger?  gdb maybe?
[14:31] <Dante123> hi all, my son was playing COD2 under wine on this computer...and ever since then...the fonts are kind of messed up.  I don't know if he got into changing them too...but they are not as crisp and clean as they were before.  Any advice or thoughts on what may have happened?  Also what are the default fonts and sizes for ubuntu upon regular install?
[14:31] <choudesh> esteth, gdb
[14:31] <Elijah> jrib,  thanks for that tip - i saw a black screen terminal once in this learning curve a while back, i was just wondering what the name of that was
[14:31] <esteth> jrib / Choudesh: Thanks, i'll look at that :)
[14:31] <jrib> Elijah: right click -> edit current profile.  You can make it whatever color you want
[14:31] <s_spiff> guys how do i disable preview for sound files???
[14:32] <tjea> I have set up pop email with evolution, but it deleted my mail from my old inbox. How do I get the maill back into both inboxes, old and new
[14:32] <jrib> s_spiff: edit -> preferences -> preview
[14:32] <Elijah> jrib, ok, thanks i just thought it was a different app since i had the white one and black one open at the same time and never changed anything
[14:32] <s_spiff> jrib: thank you!
[14:33] <golb23> is it possible to use .ico (icon) in ubuntu or do I need to convert it somehow?
[14:33] <Dante123> What is the default application font, document font, display font, etc.
[14:33] <jrib> Elijah: probably.  But you can also have multiple profiles.  The other big terminal emulators are konsole, xterm, urxvt
[14:33] <tjea> I have set up pop email with evolution, but it deleted my mail from my old inbox. How do I get the maill back into both inboxes, old and new
[14:33] <jrib> Dante123: system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts
[14:33] <Elijah> jrib, it was xterm!!! Thanks
[14:33] <Dante123> yes, I am their jrib but would like to know what the default ones are because I think he switched them
[14:34] <jrib> Dante123: create a new user and check
[14:34] <tjea> please
[14:34] <Dante123> okay
[14:36]  * euu care stie cum fac un egg sa se conecteze pe mirc?
[14:37] <Elijah> So know that I know how to edit and save the menu.lst file, i want to remove all the old kernal options from my boot loader, is it necessary to remove the actual kernels too?
[14:37] <Elijah> What would you do?
[14:37] <Knightly88> Anyone know how I cal tell if I can setup my NVIDIA GeForce 6100 card to the screen resolution 1400x900?
[14:37] <wols_> Elijah: no you can keep them
[14:37] <jrib> Elijah: no, but if you do remove the old kernels, they will update the menu.lst for you
[14:37] <choudesh> Elijah, no it isn't necessary. But if you want to save space - then remove them.
[14:37] <wols_> Knightly88: what drivers?
[14:37] <ThRixXx> Hey people, how much faster is xubuntu compared to ubuntu ?
[14:37] <choudesh> heh. I am slow this morning. ;-)
[14:38]  * euu care stie cum fac un egg sa se conecteze pe mirc?pls prv me ca e urgent
[14:38] <wols_> ThRixXx: depends on your RAM
[14:38] <jrib> Elijah: I would remove all my old linux-image-VERSION except for the last two
[14:38] <Elijah> i don't want the old kernels then, so if i remove them it auto maticlaly updates them? Is this where the term automagically is used that I keep hearing
[14:38] <wols_> Knightly88: don't PM people. have a nice day
[14:38] <Elijah> i read automagic in the menu.lst
[14:38] <jrib> Elijah: probably
[14:38] <ThRixXx> wel there is a computer lying at my house with 512 ran, 2.4ghz celeron
[14:38] <wols_> Elijah: you remove them wiht apt-get or synaptic, then yes
[14:38] <wols_> ThRixXx: bot ubuntu and xubuntu would work fine
[14:39] <ThRixXx> but if i install xubuntu wil i feel a huge diff ?
[14:39] <Zanth_88> mostly the gui
[14:39] <Elijah> and i just search for "kernel" in synaptic?
[14:39] <Zanth_88> Xubuntu uses the Xfce interface, which is made to run on slower and older machines
[14:40] <Elijah> jrib, What do you mean by last 2?
[14:40] <cdavis> I want tomboy to start at startup but only in notification area, how do I keep it from opening the foreground upon startup?
[14:40] <Elijah> jrib, last 2 kernels or options
[14:40] <Knightly88> k... I have the NVIDIA GeForce 6100 drivers installed and currently a screen rez of 1280x1024... just wondering if I can make it bigger... even though it doesn't show it under the main screen rez options...
[14:40] <jrib> Elijah: kernels
[14:40] <Elijah> jrib, so you have a total of 3 kernels at all times
[14:40] <Zanth_88> ThRixXx: maybe it looks a bit simpler, but with the comp you specified, you could easily try and install Ubuntu on it with the GNOME interface.
[14:41] <Elijah> jrib,  or just the most recent 2
[14:41] <jrib> Elijah: nah, just the current one and the last old one
[14:41] <Jane_> Hey
[14:41] <jrib> Elijah: no problem in keeping 3 if you want
[14:41] <ben> hey
[14:42] <ThRixXx> ok cool, so im just gonna install ubuntu then ill aptget xubuntu try both :D
[14:42] <ThRixXx> tx
[14:42] <Jane_> I have a video that I'd like to compress. The data rate is 6MBPS and I'd like to make it 3MBPS, how do I do this in Ubuntu?
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Daenyth Family friendly language please
[14:42] <Elijah> Zanth_88, I installed xubuntu a sa virtual machine in virtual box a while back, it's user inetrface is different, if you are just learning ubuntu like me then you can get away with ubuntu on that hardware, I would stick with it
[14:42] <byte_slave> hello all!
[14:42] <byte_slave> which option is the best for backuping serveral machines? client machines PUT fils in remote backup machines or backup server machines GET files from client machines?
[14:42] <Knightly88> wols: can you manually change the screen rez to something bigger even if it's not showing a bigger screen rez on the screen rez options screen?
[14:42] <saint-takeshi> is there a man page on APIC/ACPI boot parameters?
[14:42] <Zanth_88> Elijah: I'm running Kubuntu myself
[14:43] <Zanth_88> as a host OS
[14:43] <Elijah> jrib, ok, thanks, so do you then also keep current and last version in boot loader right? You also keep the recovery mode options too?
[14:43] <pencinta> hai..............???
[14:43] <mib> hi again: i have this problem, The source seems encrypted and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?
[14:43] <jrib> Elijah: yes
[14:43] <mib> this is when i put the dvd again
[14:43] <wols_> !dvd
[14:43] <mib> how is that
[14:43] <DIL> byte_slave: files sb backed up to server and server sb then backed up
[14:44] <Elijah> Zanth_88, I see, so maybe you are familiar with the way different things work, I am going to get comfy with ubuntu forst
[14:44] <Zanth_88> Elijah, I don't know. I only used GNOME and KDE
[14:44] <benjimbo> !
[14:44] <Zanth_88> but not Xfce
[14:44] <PeaceMakr> kubunt/kde desktop, ubuntu/gnome desktop, xubuntu/xfce desktop
[14:44] <PeaceMakr> kubuntu
[14:44] <kestrel> cdavis:right click in the panel and "Add to Panel" find tomboy
[14:44] <Elijah> Zanth_88, well, you learned those so I would think another would be easy for you
[14:45] <byte_slave> DIL, i mean i tried to make a backup server and i used some applications available but it seems to me, that using backup server machine to GET files via SMB for example are very very slow even with a 1GB ethernet link
[14:45] <Zanth_88> ehh, i've been using KDE for about 3 months now. used GNOME for about a whole year before that, but i'm pondering going back to GNOME
[14:45] <Xpistos> Is there a way so that when I minimize my window instead of it being .1 mm smaller, it will shrink to about 1/4 the size of the maximized window as a default?
[14:45] <PeaceMakr> stayaway from enlightment, still very buggy
[14:45]  * euu care stie cum fac un egg sa se conecteze pe mirc?pls prv me ca e urgent
[14:46] <pencinta> hay ayo gentu yuk....................
[14:46] <Zanth_88> but i won't use xfce because my comp can easily handle both GNOME and KDE too :)
[14:46] <mib> i have this sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh: command not found
[14:46] <Zanth_88> and i don't bother with other window managers like enlightment
[14:46] <mib> ive got the latest libdvdread3 already
[14:46] <mib> when i follow the second step..activating DVD decryption
[14:46] <Elijah> jrib, How would I use apt-get to "remove" a kernel, it only says it is for downloading and installing packages
[14:46] <erUSUL> Elijah: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[14:46] <wols_> Elijah: man apt-get and you will see
[14:46] <VSpike> On 8.04, I can't start X because nvidia driver can't load the kernel module... how do I find the problem?
[14:47] <Elijah> argh
[14:47] <byte_slave> DIL, understando for "Backup server" a dedicated machine not in the same building just to have a copy of the stuff of the working server
[14:47] <DIL> byte_slave: generally ist time is ver slow but if you configure for incremental backups it should get better
[14:47] <wols_> VSpike: find if you have the kernel driver installed and then if it's loaded
[14:47] <Elijah> my gnome-terminal is like flickering, how do i stop it
[14:47] <Elijah> it is like glitching every .5 seconds
[14:47] <Elijah> doesn't happen unless it is maximized
[14:47] <saint-takeshi> Zanth_88: yeah, with a "decent" spec PC, the performance increase with xfce isn't worth the hassle of getting used to the interface
[14:48] <byte_slave> DIL, sure but for example you think is normal a machine take 12hours to backup only 5GB of information via SMB?
[14:48] <Elijah> saint-takeshi, glad you said that
[14:48] <jrib> Elijah: aptitude search '~nlinux-image~i'   To find the packages that are installed with 'linux-image' in the name.  Then just, 'sudo aptitude purge PACKAGE1 PACKAGE2 ...'
[14:48] <mib> still having same error message
[14:48] <PeaceMakr> Elijah, you mean to edit grub?
[14:48] <Zanth_88> saint-takeshi: i have an AMD 1.6 GhZ machine with 640MB DDRAM and an NVidia GeForce 6200 card
[14:48] <VSpike> wols_: Which package do I need to look for?
[14:48] <DIL> byte_slave: i see
[14:48] <Zanth_88> so it runs smooth
[14:48] <byte_slave> DIL, i tried backuppc, backup-restore from holonix
[14:49] <DIL> byte_slave: not fam
[14:49] <VSpike> wols_: running 2.6.24-18-generic
[14:49] <byte_slave> DIL, what you use as your backup strategy? client and server
[14:49] <mib> anyone could give me any hints
[14:49] <Elijah> jrib, I will try that
[14:49] <wols_> VSpike: for nvidia packages
[14:49] <pepparkaka> Any solution to getting that damn flash-plugin to stop segfaulting my browsers every time I close a tab with some flash object in it  ?
[14:50] <DIL> byte_slave: if that is what you have let it run
[14:50] <wols_> !medibuntu | mib
[14:50] <Knightly88> how can I tell what my "max screen resolution" is?
[14:50] <Dr_Willis_> mib,  that path to the command has changed. and the howtos are not up to date. use the locate command to find the proper path is wha ti did befor
[14:50] <DIL> byte_slave: i hvae back ups to server then to tapes
[14:51] <mib> Dr willis: i check again
[14:51] <byte_slave> DIL, rsync ?
[14:51] <VSpike> wols_: there are a lot of packages with the word nvidia in them, and a lot with linux-restricted in them ... some are installed and some are not.  Which specific ones do I need?
[14:51] <mib> and its on  sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[14:51] <mib> when i run that..it said ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[14:51] <wols_> VSpike: the one with nvidia.ko in it
[14:51] <mib> and then when i try rerun the dvd, it gives the same error
[14:52] <VSpike> wols_: how do i find which package contains a specific file?
[14:52] <corporal_clegg> hello, how would ubuntu manage an iPod Touch?
[14:52] <wols_> dpkg -L for example
[14:52] <erUSUL> VSpike: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[14:52] <wols_> corporal_clegg: gtkpod for example
[14:52] <IdleOne> !ipod | corporal_clegg
[14:52] <erUSUL> VSpike: works if package is instaled if not you have to install and set up apt-file
[14:53] <corporal_clegg> could I update the firmware using ubuntu?
[14:53] <Knightly88> !screen resolution
[14:53] <erUSUL> !fixres
[14:53] <Knightly88> lol,
[14:53] <Dr_Willis_> mib,  i normally just follow http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands
[14:53] <cdavis> kestrel, ya but it doesn't start up at the next boot
[14:53] <mib> dr willis: do you restart after that
[14:54] <Elijah> jrib, I did a    --->        aptitude search '~nlinux-image~i'                          in gnome-terminal and nothing happens
[14:54] <wols_> mib: you only restart if the kernel has changed or new hardware is installed
[14:54] <wols_> dpkg -l |grep linux-image |grep ^ii
[14:54] <erUSUL> Elijah: aptitude search linux-image | grep '^i'
[14:54] <jrib> Elijah: hard to believe, since that would mean you have no kernel installed, try what wols_ just said
[14:55] <mib> wols: do i need to install Xine?
[14:55] <mib> or that is enough?
[14:55] <wols_> you need a video playre to play any video...
[14:55] <Elijah> well, i did the gksudo gedit /boot...... first and then the second line was blank, so i entered it on the blank line
[14:56] <Elijah> it doesn't have the user name to strat off the line
[14:56] <mib> totem isnt a video player?
[14:56] <Elijah> how do i get the user name to start off the line again
[14:56] <the-herby_> what's the procedure to run fsck on the root filesystem?
[14:56] <wols_> the-herby_: sudo touch /forcefsck && reboot
[14:56] <Dr_Willis_> the-herby_,  i tend to boot a live cd to check them. Theres also a way you can make it auto check on the next reboot.
[14:56] <jrib> Elijah: ctrl-c.  This means you didn't close the quotes properly before in the previous command
[14:57] <wols_> or, remount / ro and fsck it
[14:57] <Dr_Willis_> the-herby_,  thats what  the forcefsck does. :)
[14:57] <cdavis> How can I select the first 7 characters of a field with a mysql query?
[14:57] <Elijah> hmm, when i hit reset and clear in terminal it gives me a blank terminal, i cannot even sude m y menu.lst anymore
[14:57] <wols_> cdavis: #mysql
[14:57] <Elijah> i can't run any commands now
[14:57] <ianagui> someone could help me in an issue related to: ubuntu-server, port-forwarding, apache (basic)....
[14:57] <jrib> cdavis: try: /join #mysql
[14:57] <wols_> Elijah: open antoerh xterm
[14:57] <jrib> Elijah: did you hit ctrl-c?
[14:58] <the-herby_> i will try that. i had a forced check, but it said there was an error code 3 and fsck failed. i guess i might have to run fsck manually from a live cd then.
[14:58] <pencinta> killer angel
[14:58] <Elijah> jrib, now i did, sorry didn't get that at first
[14:58] <Elijah> thanks so much!
[14:58] <Elijah> I remember having that problem in the past
[14:58] <jrib> Elijah: you entered the original command either with too many quotes or not enough
[14:58] <Elijah> whay does it do that because i didn't close quotes?
[14:59] <Elijah> interesting
[14:59] <jrib> Elijah: it expects you to continue the input until you close the quotes
[14:59] <pencinta> hfgkkgkf
[14:59] <ianagui> got a broadband connection(cable): ISP modem connected to DI-604 router where i got a desktop ubuntu and a server...
[14:59] <Elijah> jrib, that makes sense now
[14:59] <Elijah> jrib,  what techincally does ctrl+c do?
[14:59] <Elijah> close quotes?
[14:59] <Starnestommy> Elijah: it interrupts
[15:00] <Estesark> Hi. I dual-boot Ubuntu and WinXP, and share many files between them. In my music collection I have a number of files with the question mark character (?) in them. Ubuntu/Rhythmbox can play these fine, but Windows/Winamp cannot. It'd be great for me to be able to search for all files that contain a question mark in their name so I can rename them easily, but that doesn't seem to work in the default Ubuntu Gnome search app, or Tracker (perhaps beca
[15:00] <Elijah> thanks jrib and starnes
[15:00] <ianagui> configured static dhcp for the server and port forwarding for http/https...
[15:01] <Freeman551> im having problems on my laptop, after resuming from suspend the wireless wont connect
[15:01] <ianagui> acessing port 80 on server through desktop works... externally (via external IP) does not work....
[15:01] <Elijah> jrib, ok, now your original command works
[15:01] <ianagui> someone?
[15:01] <Timoteo> ianagui it looks like a router configuration trouble
[15:02] <Elijah> it says i have 4 kernels installed
[15:02] <ianagui> Timoteo: could you help ?
[15:02] <Timoteo> ianagui do you speak spanish?
[15:02] <Elijah> one being a "Linux-image-generic", do i need that one too?
[15:02] <ianagui> Timoteo: portugese and english...
[15:03] <Timoteo> ianagui OK, i'll try in english, but it's not very good :-)
[15:03] <pencinta> hai besfren
[15:03] <ianagui> Timoteo: no problem...
[15:03] <Timoteo> ianagui Do you have a P2P program like eMule or BitTorrent configured on your PC?
[15:03] <jrib> Elijah: yes, that one ensures you get the latest kernel when you update
[15:03] <ianagui> Timoteo: amule
[15:04] <Timoteo> ianagui Did you need to access <IP_ADDRESS>?
[15:04] <ianagui> Timoteo: whats this address for?
[15:05] <Elijah> jrib, gotcha
[15:05] <VSpike> Why would the nvidia kernel module get broken after a kernel update?  I thought that stuff didn't happen any more
[15:05] <Timoteo> ianagui Typing that IP on your desktop browser you will access to your router configuration (I think you've got a router, not a modem)
[15:05] <ianagui> Timoteo: my routers admin is <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:06] <ianagui> Timoteo: have already config static DHCP for ubuntu server there...
[15:06] <Elijah> what does the     i      do after '~nlinux-image~i'     also why the      n     before linux
[15:06] <ianagui> Timoteo: ...and port forwarded apache ports 80 and 443
[15:06] <Timoteo> ianagui OK, that was the solution that I was going to give
[15:06] <Timoteo> ianagui Do you have Hardy or Gutsy, or another?
[15:07] <VSpike> erUSUL: would the command be "sudo apt-file search nvidia.ko"?
[15:07] <ianagui> Timoteo: desktop is 8.04...
[15:07] <ianagui> Timoteo: server too
[15:07] <Timoteo> ianagui and server?
[15:07] <Ad84> has any one got the time to teach me some basics of the terminal?
[15:07] <insurin> Should I install anti virus software on my ubuntu box?
[15:08] <howlingmadhowie> insurin: only if you're sharing files with windows computers
[15:08] <Timoteo> insurin It's not really necesary, but there is a Linux AVG.
[15:08] <VSpike> Ad84: there are some good beginners guides online
[15:08] <incorrect> has anyone got n-node replication working with slapd in hardy?
[15:08] <s_spiff> Ad84 there are several howto/tutorials out there on www. teaching someone even basics of the bash is a long tiresome process. instead ask around the command for a specific purpose, will be faster. :)
[15:08] <insurin> ok thanks,
[15:08] <Ad84> links
[15:09] <Timoteo> ianagui Please check the firewall's conf on server and desktop
[15:09] <freethinker> HI! can anyone tell me how i can change permissions on ubuntu, i am tring to write something on another partition
[15:09] <Ad84> kk,how do i install rpm.bin file?
