[10:00] <steveO_> How would one setup a crontab to mail me on the 19th of every month, doesn't matter at what time...?
[10:00] <ZDUX> gnomefreak: does this include breezy-security to dapper-security  ?
[10:00] <LoneShadow> rjian: whom are you trying to share the internet with ?
[10:00] <fr500> Gradius9: Running an headless machine, with ubuntu... did all the updates, but now I can not access it via vnc (only ssh), maybe there are some dialogs that stops the flow of the start up? thats not a question
[10:00] <rjian> loneshadow: on the workstation..
[10:00] <redblades> kevin? I'm not sure I understand what you mean
[10:00] <fr500> Gradius9: did you set ur gdm for auto login?
[10:00] <Gradius9> fr500: yes
[10:00] <kevin> redblades, you can back up DVD using Transcode
[10:01] <gnomefreak> ZDUX: yes
[10:01] <gnomefreak> ZDUX: you _dont_ want breezy repos on a dapper version
[10:01] <Gradius9> I am into the machine... there is maybe just to login to the desktop via ssh, but I do not know how to do that
[10:01] <fr500> KrisWood: songbirrd linux isnt out, try banshee
[10:01] <LoneShadow> rjian: I dont have experience in what you want to do, but it sounds like you want either run dhcp/dns or forward dhcp/dns on your first machine, so that second machine has the internet
[10:02] <fr500> Gradius9: type who and see if gdm has logged in
[10:02] <Gradius9> fr500: I am pretty new to ubuntu / linux installed just last week replacing windows
[10:02] <LoneShadow> rjian: I am sure if you look up for tutorials on running router service on a linux machine, you will find most answers
[10:02] <fr500> Gradius9: when you type who, it should show a :0 entry
[10:02] <Gradius9> username pts/0        2006-06-18 09:52 (adress.lan)
[10:02] <fr500> Gradius9:  :o
[10:03] <KrisWood> fr500: I'll do that, thanks
[10:03] <Gradius9> yes, it does
[10:03] <fr500> no more lines?
[10:03] <fr500> Gradius9:
[10:03] <Gradius9> only this line
[10:03] <fr500> hmmm
[10:03] <fr500> then gdm has not logged in
[10:03] <Gradius9> fr500: ok, any commands or (urls) you suggest so I can login to gdm?
[10:04] <rjian> Loneshadow: its actually like this i have a windows workstation i want them to have a internet connection by sharing my connection to workstation..
[10:04] <fluxbox> Hi guys, does anyone know how to setup a VNC server to be accessed outside of a internal network Via the CLI
[10:04] <fr500> Gradius9: not really, you can try to edit gdm config and try to reboot to see if it starts
[10:04] <LoneShadow> and you dont have a router ?
[10:04] <fr500> fluxbox: if it works on lan, and the ports are forwarded in your router it should work unless there is a firewall stopping you
[10:05] <rjian> loneshadow: nope i dont have router im just using two network cards..
[10:05] <davutz> S/SERVER IRCMIROMIRO.NET
[10:05] <ZDUX> gnomefreak: thanks that did it
[10:06] <kevin> rjian, make sure the windows firewall is off. If that is not the answer, you may to configure it with the windows box first... or that is what I would try
[10:07] <eirik_> hi
[10:07] <Gradius9> fr500: looks like I have to connect that monitor...
[10:07] <rjian> still not getting the answer how can i restart the gnome panel??
[10:07] <fluxbox> fr500: thanks mate ill try and check that out when i get home :-) i just need the exterior port for example (8080)to be forwarded internall to port 0? or 1 or whatever i set it as
[10:07] <gnomefreak> rjian: kilall gnome-panel
[10:07] <fr500> fluxbox: 5900
[10:07] <gnomefreak> oops
[10:07] <gnomefreak> rjian: killall gnome-panel
[10:08] <cat> gnome sucks,
[10:08] <cat> waimea r0x
[10:08] <fr500> fluxbox: 5900 and u should forward to 5900
[10:08] <gnomefreak> cat: than dont use it but we dont need that in here
[10:08] <LoneShadow> rjian: rjian: check this http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/
[10:08] <LoneShadow> rjian: that describes how to share the interent to a second pc
[10:09] <rjian> ah ok thnx loneshadow
[10:10] <cat> rjian: you ready fixed you're issued with, smb?
[10:10] <rjian> nope
[10:10] <eobanb> how can i set an ubuntu machine's DHCP client ID?
[10:10] <morphix> whats a lightweight app that works fine in xfce4 that can burn cd's AND dvd's the included 'xfburn' doesnt seem to burn DVD :(
[10:11] <konfuzed> crap i got a kernel panic during install
[10:11] <LoneShadow> can anyone see this video from ubuntu ? http://www.nbc4.tv/video/9152183/detail.html
[10:11] <rjcube> im trying to mount a .iso on a virtual drive, from what I understand I use this: mount -o loop <iso directory> <mountpoint>, but I have no Idea what the mountpoint would need to be, can anyone help?
[10:11] <redblades> konfuzed: check that grub is not trying to load from the wrong hardrive
[10:11] <transgress> LoneShadow: i can
[10:11] <eobanb> rjcube, it can be any directory to which you have write access.
[10:12] <cat> morphix: try waimea or fluxbox
[10:12] <eobanb> rjcube, preferably something like ~/Desktop/isoimage/
[10:12] <LoneShadow> transgress: which browser and what plugin ?
[10:12] <cat> LoneShadow: can you pasted it to me on, my query?
[10:12] <cat> i want to see it later,
[10:12] <redblades> kevin, is transcode difficult to use? whaere do I get it?
[10:12] <Xorph> rjcube, may something like /media/cdrom
[10:12] <transgress> LoneShadow: i have firefox ... repo default... and mplayer plugin.  i removed the totem one
[10:12] <fluxbox> thanks fr500
[10:12] <kevin> redblades, sudo apt-get transcode
[10:12] <LoneShadow> cat: what do you want me to paste ?
[10:12] <morphix> eh? fluxbox is a window manager.
[10:13] <morphix> cat: eh? fluxbox is a window manager.
[10:13] <gnomefreak> morphix: do you want a gui or cli burner?
[10:13] <killaz> guys can you help me mounting a NFS? I'm using right now linux from CD but wantto brun a iso of ubuntu on another machine
[10:13] <kevin> redblades, then when I need to I just man transcode
[10:13] <morphix> gnomefreak, burner with GUI
[10:13] <gnomefreak> morphix: gnomebaker
[10:13] <killaz> the iso is on another machine..
[10:13] <killaz> so I need to make a NFS conection to that other machine..
[10:14] <LoneShadow> killaz: check ubuntu's howto/wiki, there is a step by step description, if you have particular questions ask away, I have nfs booted machines :)
[10:14] <rjcube> Xorph: that worked perfectly, thanks
[10:14] <morphix> hmm ok
[10:14] <abo> !ntfs
[10:14] <ubotu> to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions there is no write support for ntfs that is safe. <!winfstab>
[10:15] <cat> LoneShadow: so i can see the video from ubuntu?
[10:15] <Xorph> rjcube, may you cant use your cdrom-drive as long as st iso is mounted...
[10:15] <LoneShadow> transgress: I have amd64, so I installed a 32bit firefox, but I guess my plugins are not setup
[10:15] <Gradius9> fr500: Yes, with the monitor cable I could confirm automatic login again
[10:15] <gnomefreak> LoneShadow: you need to run 32bit ff in chroot iirc
[10:15] <Eleaf> .....
[10:15] <LoneShadow> cat: http://www.nbc4.tv/video/9152183/detail.html, some online video which requires msn media player
[10:16] <fr500> Gradius9: so it does not work without monitor?
[10:16] <cat> can u pasted that on a query?
[10:16] <LoneShadow> gnomefreak: yea I am able to do that, using linux32, got it working to play flash and java applets
[10:16] <morphix> whats an app to record from TV card inputs?
[10:16] <Gradius9> fr500: I guess it was only this time after lots of updates
[10:16] <killaz> LoneShadow, what port does nfs use?
[10:16] <transgress> how hard is it to install 32bit firefox on 64bit ubuntu?
[10:16] <fr500> Gradius9: you should test
[10:16] <cat> LoneShadow:  can you pasted it on a queryh
[10:16] <fr500> Gradius9: doesnt make sense
[10:16] <cat> plz
[10:17] <eobanb> how can i set an ubuntu machine's DHCP client ID?
[10:17] <fr500> Gradius9 if it does not work, try commenting DPMS in the monitor section on xorg.conf (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[10:17] <LoneShadow> killaz: not sure, its on my lan, so I dont bother about the ports
[10:17] <Gradius9> fr500: More updates now when I restarted and logged in, going to install them and restart
[10:17] <gnomefreak> transgress: if you know what your doing or read the instructions im thinking its fairly easy
[10:17] <transgress> gnomefreak: okay.
[10:17] <killaz> LoneShadow, oh ok..no my firewall blocks everything internet and lan
[10:17] <transgress> gnomefreak: let me go find those... i'm guessing a wiki somewhere?
[10:17] <cat> LoneShadow: what is that video about?
[10:17] <killaz> the firewall on the server
[10:17] <transgress> LoneShadow: that was a cool video
[10:18] <gnomefreak> transgress: if you run the 32bit ubuntu you never have to worry about it ;)
[10:18] <LoneShadow> some video about how jiffy lube cheats :D, someone sent me the link, I had to reboot into windows to see it =/
[10:18] <transgress> gnomefreak: amd64 runs faster on my lappy... i've tried them both.
[10:18] <LoneShadow> someone*
[10:18] <cat> oh
[10:18] <dibblego> how does one delete all directories named "blah" that are contained anywhere recursively in the current directory?
[10:18] <cat> i though it was about ubuntu,
[10:18] <cat> because debian has videos that you can see,
[10:18] <Gradius9> fr500: In minutes I will test, but I can atleast confirm that if you run headless, and have done the latest updates you have to initally confirm the autologin, to know that the dialig shows you have to connect a monitor...
[10:18] <gnomefreak> transgress: its either on the ff1.5 wiki or the restrictedformats wiki i cant remember you can always look for a chroot wiki
[10:19] <martii> hello
[10:19] <gnomefreak> dibblego: man rm
[10:19] <fr500> Gradius9: confirm the autologin?
[10:19] <transgress> gnomefreak: don't have to chroot anymore IIRC
[10:19] <martii> I need some info about Kino in dapper
[10:19] <LoneShadow> killaz: are you saying your linux server is blocking access for all the ports on the lan ?
[10:20] <gnomefreak> transgress: i thought you still did  <i stay away from 64bit>
[10:20] <Gradius9> fr500: the "confirmation" appeared as a mini login box with the words autologin above... nothing more
[10:20] <dibblego> gnomefreak, nothing I could find could do it
[10:20] <fr500> Gradius9: never ever for me
[10:20] <fr500> Gradius9: you don't need VNC, if you are in a lan you can try XDCMP
[10:21] <Gradius9> fr500: time for testing headless again...
[10:21] <Gradius9> ok, using os x for main machine to control it
[10:21] <LoneShadow> transgress: installing 32bit apps on amd64 is not that big of a deal, you just need to create scripts to run them using linux32
[10:22] <fr500> Gradius9: maybe freenx
[10:22] <Gradius9> fr500: a version of xdcmp?
[10:22] <fr500> Gradius9: no, a different protocol
[10:22] <Gradius9> fr500: What is it?
[10:22] <morphix> holy! gnomebaker is HELL SLOW.. its takes no more than 10 mins to burn a dvdr in nero on winblows
[10:22] <sean> hello. what kind of audio codecs are needed to play .ts file with mplayer?
[10:22] <CaptainMorgan> trying to setup my printer.. after the list of drivers builds I selelct the one and it says 'unable to load driver....either it doesn't exist or your permissionsa re wrong', Im root... but after this it goes on to ask me if I want to print a test page and when I do it's garbled... (kde)
[10:22] <skavenge> wow thats cool just booted the livecd from my laptop for the first time and dapper detected everything out of the box accept the wireless lan card .. getting the driver on a clean install without floppies or cds and no other internet its going to be a challenge heh
[10:23] <fr500> like VNC, XDCMP allows remote logins, but i don't know FreeNX
[10:23] <polpak> dibblego: find . -name blah -type d | xargs rm -rf
[10:23] <eobanb> skavenge, what wireless card
[10:23] <fr500> Gradius9: there is a way to login via vnc, xdcmp over vnc or something, check the forums
[10:23] <dibblego> polpak, excellent thanks
[10:23] <skavenge> dell 1350, though its trying to detect it as some random broadcomm card instead of what it is
[10:23] <eobanb> skavenge, that's because it IS a broadcom card
[10:24] <CaptainMorgan> what's going on with the install printer tool??
[10:24] <eobanb> skavenge, dell does not make wireless cards, they re-brand broadcom cards
[10:24] <Gradius9> fr500: ok, the only thing is that communication via vnc is very slow. But when I have tested a machine externally its speed is ok
[10:24] <whooze> damn, it works :)
[10:24] <skavenge> yeah i know but its not the right one alas its not working .. i know the driver and everything i need for it to run with ndiswrapper just trying to figure out how to get the driver on a clean install
[10:24] <fr500> Gradius9: vnc on the lan is slow???
[10:25] <transgress> gnomefreak: nope.  don't have to.  i just downloaded 32bit flock and it works fine
[10:25] <fr500> Gradius9: and from outside it's fast??
[10:25] <eobanb> skavenge, i suggest just using wired ethernet for the time being
[10:25] <fr500> weird
[10:25] <whooze> Hello everybody, say hi to your newest ubuntu-user :)
[10:25] <CaptainMorgan> clicking 'Driver Information" gives me detailed info on the driver.....
[10:25] <kevin> Gradius9, I have sort of the same problem, I VNC to my wifes pc all of the time and it is slow
[10:25] <fr500> kevin: on the LAN?
[10:25] <fr500> kevin: i do over WPA protected wlan, and is damn fine
[10:25] <kevin> fr500, yes
[10:25] <skavenge> nothing to plug it into heh, that'd be the easy way .. may have to go and due this at a friends or something
[10:25] <cat> we linux users should have a big linux lan party
[10:25] <Gradius9> fr500: tested on different machines. but yes.. it is not the client
[10:25] <fr500> kevin: what resolution does your wife pc run?
[10:26] <morphix> 33 mins to copy a dvd compared to winblows's 17 mins
[10:26] <morphix> :|
[10:26] <kevin> not sure I belive it is stup for 1024x768
[10:26] <kevin> fr500,
[10:26] <fr500> weird
[10:26] <martii> why Kino 0.8 in dapper is unable to encode dual pass?
[10:26] <martii> I tried avi dvd
[10:26] <skavenge> morphix; i'd check and make sure your DMA is turned on for the drive, i've encountered it being completely turned off by default for some drives
[10:27] <cat> man i want to buy some linux stickers for my laptop,
[10:27] <fr500> morphix: you should try a different burning method, there are many, and DMA
[10:27] <Gradius9> but when changing client to apple remote desktop it is quite fast, but ard is very bad on character support etc.
[10:27] <CaptainMorgan> how can there be detailed infor for a driver... fail to load and ask and print a test page (which is garbled) ??
[10:27] <martii> on the other hand it's unable to export to h.264 as well
[10:27] <martii> single or duall pass
[10:27] <CaptainMorgan> shouldn't get to the test page step at all
[10:27] <morphix> skavenge, how do i check the DMA settings?
[10:28] <konfuzed> ok so I rebooted after the install gave me a kernel panic and it comes up to a shell login prompt which allows me to login
[10:28] <skavenge> i cant say offhand i just searched the wiki for 'dma' when i was dealing with a problematic dvd burner
[10:28] <abo> when I try to use the diskmounter script, everything works fine, but than mount complains that it doesn't understand the ntfs-fuse file system, is there a module that I need to install? I'm using Dapper
[10:28] <kevin> fr500, I know why it was slow before, her res was cranked wayyyyy up but now I jave tp set tp a lower res and still slow
[10:28] <konfuzed> do I have to reconfigure xorg or just go straight for the dist-upgrade. i just installed 5.10 from an install cd
[10:29] <fr500> kevin: weird
[10:29] <fr500> try freenx
[10:29] <eobanb> konfuzed, why would you have to reconfigure xorg
[10:29] <konfuzed> no grpahic login
[10:29] <konfuzed> just a shell prompt
[10:29] <eobanb> konfuzed, you can just change your repositories to dapper and do a dist-upgrade
[10:29] <konfuzed> something kernel paniced I dont know what
[10:29] <eobanb> konfuzed, in that case i suggest you try installing again
[10:30] <konfuzed> hm from scratch
[10:30] <Gradius9> fr500: Last time i did updates to the system I saw some WPA files. that means it has wpa compatibility right?
[10:30] <eobanb> well, if you don't have a complete system install it's very possible that a lot of stuff is broken
[10:30] <killaz> uhm I'm using ftp to get a file from my FTP server. I want to put this file on my external HD mounted on /mnt/sda1 but when I get the file: the system tells me that local:#name-of-file: Read-only file system
[10:30] <LeaChim> how can i force a package to install even though it has errors in the post-installation script?
[10:30] <sean> Anybody whos can help me ?
[10:30] <fr500> dunno man
[10:30] <konfuzed> oh poopers
[10:30] <eobanb> konfuzed, if it doesn't work the second time around, i'd try a dapper disc.
[10:30] <Gradius9> fr500:  *wpa*.* something
[10:30] <freddyubuntu> hey guys I am trying to install a graph calculator on linux... I get this error when I try to configure it
[10:30] <freddyubuntu> checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
[10:30] <killaz> how can I write a file on this HD?
[10:30] <fr500> supplicant
[10:30] <fr500> Gradius9: wpa supplicant
[10:31] <fr500> but compatibilty is up to drivers
[10:31] <eobanb> killaz, what filesystem
[10:31] <konfuzed> I'm using a kvm switch and was on the other box when it happened
[10:31] <killaz> uhm I think a FAT32
[10:31] <killaz> it;s just an external HD
[10:31] <eobanb> nevertheless, i'd make sure it's not an NTFS
[10:31] <CaptainMorgan> printer anyone?
[10:31] <killaz> eobanb, it's just an external HD, with FAT32 file-system
[10:31] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell sean -about codecs
[10:32] <killaz> eobanb, how?
[10:32] <eobanb> killaz, System > Administration > Discs
[10:32] <killaz> eobanb, how can I make sure of that?
[10:32] <morphix> skavenge, DMA is on.. but dvd copying is VERY slow.
[10:32] <eobanb> Disks*
[10:32] <konfuzed> is there some way I can test to see what is or isnt broken
[10:32] <gnomefreak> konfuzed: you mean packages?
[10:32] <konfuzed> ping google.com works ;^)
[10:32] <gnomefreak> ah net
[10:32] <konfuzed> well base install to start with
[10:32] <lin> THE "KEYBOARD LABEL" MENU ITEM BUG IS STILL NOT FIXED!!!
[10:33] <lin> THE "KEYBOARD LABEL" MENU ITEM BUG IS STILL NOT FIXED!!!
[10:33] <skavenge> morphix; dunno then, maybe try a different program, i've never used gnomebaker personally
[10:33] <eobanb> lin, ..?
[10:33] <gnomefreak> lin: dont repeat and lose the caps please
[10:33] <lin> the fucking gtk+ maintainer should fix this
[10:33] <eobanb> konfuzed, bottom line, if your install process was interrupted halfway through, i'd just re-install, okay?
[10:33] <killaz> eobanb, and from the CLI?
[10:33] <czr_> hmm. is LTS suitable for a minimal install (a router/firewall)?
[10:33] <morphix> skavenge, whats a good cd/dvd burner then?
[10:33] <kevin> morphix, k3b works for me
[10:33] <eobanb> killaz, 'mount'
[10:33] <gnomefreak> lin: i will un mute you in a few mins
[10:34] <skavenge> morphix; i've always used k3b, even on gnome
[10:34] <morphix> yeh k3b.. i've used that before, that was good :)
[10:34] <killaz> eobanb, it's a vfat
[10:34] <freddyubuntu> am trying to install a graph calculator on linux... I get this error when I try to configure it
[10:34] <freddyubuntu> checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
[10:34] <kevin> morphix, that is the only one I currently use
[10:34] <eobanb> killaz, at the end, does it say (rw) ?
[10:35] <killaz> nope ro
[10:35] <gnomefreak> Fred: try installing libqt3-mt
[10:35] <skavenge> i found that one best but honestly i've never gotten that burner i was speaking of going as fast as in windows .. maybe a driver issue, i dunno
[10:35] <eobanb> killaz, well you need to re-mount as rw
[10:35] <abo> anyone know how to make mount recognise the ntfs-fuse filesystem ? is there a module to install?
[10:35] <eobanb> freddywhat programme?
[10:36] <killaz> eobanb, ok let me try that
[10:36] <morphix> shite.. install anything that uses kde sure does take a lot of things to install.
[10:37] <kevin> CaptainMorgan, if it is a Cannon printer, I have had very little success with them
[10:37] <eobanb> morphix, indeed.
[10:37] <Goldneye> Hello all
[10:37] <eobanb> welcome, Goldneye
[10:37] <gnomefreak> lin: you have been unmuted i advise you read the coc and the irc guidelines
[10:37] <skavenge> yeah all the libraries and stuff .. worth it though for k3b imo
[10:37] <martii> no Kino users here?
[10:37] <Goldneye> Anyone have any luck w/ putting Dapper on an Intel Mac?
[10:38] <eobanb> Goldneye, as far as i know that's a somewhat tricky procedure, but i suggest you search the forum; i think are more than few how-to's out there
[10:38] <Goldneye> msg me if so...
[10:39] <kevin> Goldneye, I have put it on an iMAC
[10:39] <Goldneye> yeah.. I've read them, but the best I can see is putting it on an iPod
[10:39] <morphix> wtf?
[10:39] <morphix> i have those type of things all over xchat
[10:39] <eobanb> Goldneye, are you encountering a specific problem?
[10:39] <CaptainMorgan> kevin: HP Deskjet 610CL
[10:39] <CaptainMorgan> Old.. but functioning
[10:39] <Goldneye> No..   just planning ahead before my MacBook arrives this week :-D
[10:39] <CaptainMorgan> just not on LInux
[10:40] <killaz> eobanb, mount -w remount /mnt/sda1 doesnt work
[10:40] <Stereo> hi guys
[10:40] <CaptainMorgan> KDE detected the printer....
[10:40] <CaptainMorgan> on the par port
[10:40] <eobanb> welcome, Stereo
[10:40] <kevin> CaptainMorgan, try to dl another driver then, then follow the instruction for installing another driver. That should work
[10:40] <CaptainMorgan> but what driver for linux?
[10:40] <Goldneye> I love Dapper and want to have it still with OS X
[10:40] <CaptainMorgan> aren't they different?
[10:40] <eobanb> Goldneye, i suppose you would just use boot camp to partition appropriately, and then you should be able to boot the dapper x86 live cd
[10:40] <CaptainMorgan> I got one for Win.... but the CD says only Win
[10:41] <Stereo> I ordered a bunch of CDs that were sent to the shipping company on 2006-04-04, and haven't received them yet. Is that normal?
[10:41] <kevin> one sec CaptainMorgan
[10:41] <killaz> eobanb, I did it..
[10:41] <eobanb> Stereo, yes.  shipit can take a while sometimes.
[10:41] <Lynoure> Hi
[10:42] <Goldneye> I can't install it to a partition?  I have to use the Live CD?
[10:42] <eobanb> Goldneye, ...?
[10:42] <eobanb> Goldneye, the live CD and the install CD are the same thing
[10:42] <skavenge> you install from the livecd as well
[10:42] <Goldneye> oh oh.. ok
[10:42] <Lynoure> If I want to change all sudo things (also update announcements) to another user, is there some easy way to do that?
[10:43] <Lynoure> I know I can just grant them sudo rights, but would they then get update notifications?
[10:43] <eobanb> yes, Lynoure, that's what should happen.
[10:43] <kevin> Googling for you CaptainMorgan
[10:43] <Goldneye> in previous versions of Ubuntu, they were two separate CDs
[10:43] <skavenge> or a whole dvd
[10:43] <gnomefreak> lin: now you are unmuted
[10:43] <Stereo> eobanb: ok, thanks!
[10:44] <cat> i got that error,
[10:44] <Goldneye> thanks! cheers
[10:45] <transgress> cool got 32bit flock, mplayer plugin, and flash working in 64bit... now i just have to find out where to put the w32codecs
[10:46] <Xorph> may there are w64codecs
[10:46] <eobanb> negative, Xorph.
[10:46] <Xorph> hmmm
[10:46] <gnomefreak> Xorph: sorta i think they are 32bit for 64 bit
[10:46] <gnomefreak> !w32codecs
[10:46] <ubotu> a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular non-free formats. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for 64-bit systems see http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399
[10:46] <iluciv> Hi I need a hand mounting a usb stick just how to express the filesystem type (fat)
[10:47] <transgress> gnomefreak: spectacular
[10:47] <kevin> CaptainMorgan, sorry I am coming up empty buddy
[10:47] <Lynoure> eobanb: hmm, but I don't see how editing sudo would trigger that... But that happens?
[10:47] <YuRaider> hello everyone ! :)
[10:48] <eobanb> welcome, YuRaider
[10:48] <YuRaider> i kindda have a problem with Dapper
[10:48] <YuRaider> anyone interested to help?
[10:48] <drwarlock> i have a question bout movie player
[10:48] <eobanb> !anyone
[10:48] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? </hint>
[10:48] <gnomefreak> YuRaider: we can kinda try to help you than
[10:48] <Xorph> iluciv, i think /mount auto device mountpoint should work
[10:48] <CaptainMorgan> kevin: as did i... weird... cuz in Gnome I had no problem with it.. didn't even need a driver.. but now in KDE I apparently need a driver...
[10:48] <kevin> CaptainMorgan, is there a message in dmesg after you try to load the driver?
[10:48] <Lynoure> I came to the onclusion I would not want sudo rights given to a user that does stuff I do on their account :)
[10:48] <YuRaider> well internet in Dapper just stops working after two minutes
[10:49] <YuRaider> in Breezy it works great
[10:49] <iluciv> Xorph: cheers I'll give it a go
[10:49] <eobanb> Lynoure, as far as i know, the update manager automatically showing the bubble that says 'updates are available' or whatever is purely dependent on whether or not the user in question has that enabled.  by default, for administrative users, i think it's on.
[10:49] <drwarlock> what decoders do i need for movie player
[10:49] <eobanb> but you might want to check anyway
[10:49] <eobanb> !tell drwarlock about restricted
[10:49] <CaptainMorgan> kevin: only message is 'unable to create driver: driver does not exist or you don't have sufficient permissions"
[10:49] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell drwarlock -about restricted
[10:49] <prudhvi> Hi, i have just installed BreeZy on my PC and i also have an another PC that is currently mirroring Dapper Drake. But, when i change the apt sources.list the breezy system is not upgrading to dapper what might be the problsm
[10:49] <kevin> CaptainMorgan, try #kubuntu then.....maybe they will know something I don't
[10:49] <eobanb> YuRaider, what sort of internet connection is this
[10:50] <YuRaider> it's cable internet
[10:50] <YuRaider> I have my Scientific Atlanta WebStar 2000
[10:50] <YuRaider> connected via USB
[10:50] <Lynoure> eobanb: ok, thanks.
[10:50] <YuRaider> but when connected through the ethernet adapter
[10:50] <YuRaider> it works great
[10:50] <YuRaider> :)
[10:50] <eobanb> YuRaider, so why don't you use the ethernet adapter then
[10:50] <Madpilot> prudhvi, you need to do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to go from Breezy->Dapper after changing your sources.list
[10:50] <YuRaider> because I need to somehow connect my two PCs :)
[10:50] <eobanb> that's what ethernet was designed for
[10:50] <eobanb> and USB was not
[10:51] <YuRaider> but what's really interesting
[10:51] <YuRaider> is that everything worked GREAT in Breezyt
[10:51] <YuRaider> Breezy*
[10:51] <YuRaider> and it doesn't in Dapper :(
[10:51] <prudhvi> Madpilot: yeah! i am already in r00t :)
[10:51] <YuRaider> so I'm stuck with $#@$@#$@#%#$ Windows XP for now
[10:52] <mrmist> I'm compiling this app, and during compilation I get: sh: gtk-config: command not found
[10:52] <mrmist> Any ideas ??
[10:52] <YuRaider> have you got GTK-dev installed?
[10:52] <eobanb> YuRaider, well considering it worked before and now it doesn't, i'm certainly inclined to say it should work...on the other hand given that ethernet cards can be had for $5 i'm also inclined to just say, 'go buy an ethernet card'
[10:52] <Xorph> may sudo apt-get install gtk-config
[10:52] <YuRaider> well I'm just too lazy :D
[10:53] <YuRaider> oh well I'm just gonna buy another LAN adapter then
[10:53] <konfuzed> well its copying abunch of packages to disc again
[10:53] <kevin> eobanb, I buy mine for 3 bux locally ;-)
[10:53] <YuRaider> since everything else works great, I'm not gonna give up on Linux that easy
[10:53] <eobanb> YuRaider, good to hear it
[10:53] <YuRaider> :)
[10:53] <mrmist> YuRaider: GTK-dev ? Can't find the package in "adept"..
[10:54] <YuRaider> well it's not necessarily called that
[10:54] <YuRaider> try searching for "gtk dev"
[10:54] <YuRaider> in Synaptic
[10:54] <UNH2LY> pish, using apt in cli is so much easier
[10:54] <YuRaider> well it is
[10:54] <YuRaider> if you know
[10:54] <YuRaider> the exact name of the package
[10:54] <UNH2LY> its like 3 words
[10:54] <YuRaider> you want to install ;)
[10:54] <UNH2LY> apt-cache search
[10:54] <UNH2LY> done
[10:55] <YuRaider> then you have to scroll throught the terminal ;)
[10:55] <YuRaider> (just kidding)
[10:55] <UNH2LY> my thoery... if you re too lazy to scroll through a terminal, you shouldnt go anywhere near linux in the first plafce
[10:55] <UNH2LY> *place
[10:56] <Matic`Makovec> Damn, sound in Mozilla Firefox stoped working. Sound works normaly with other multimedia players and all, only firefox doesn't give any sound at all. Any ideas?
[10:56] <YuRaider> well - I said i was kidding
[10:56] <YuRaider> i actually love the terminal
[10:56] <eobanb> i think this is a subject for #ubuntu-offtopic, UNH2LY
[10:56] <Snellgrove> lol I think CLI and Synaptics both have their pro's and cons :)
[10:56] <YuRaider> i do almost everything in the terminal :)
[10:56] <YuRaider> eobanb: sorry for offtopic
[10:56] <UNH2LY> eobanb, sorry, ill shut up.
[10:56] <mrmist> found it
[10:56] <Snellgrove> I generally use apt-get in the terminal, but sometimes I find Synaptic is good - as it can search, and the like :)
[10:56] <mrmist> guess I'm a bit tired, that's all
[10:56] <mrmist> heh
[10:57] <kevin> Matic`Makovec, if you have gaim running, it will interfere sometimes with sound
[10:57] <UNH2LY> kevin, from what ive experienced, it makes the sound fluxuate a good amount
[10:57] <UNH2LY> youll be muted and still get some with an IM through gaim
[10:57] <mrmist> er.... still no gtk-config though
[10:57] <UNH2LY> so i turned sounds off all together, but i still get the taskbar blinky
[10:57] <Matic`Makovec> kevin, it's gaims fault?
[10:58] <Matic`Makovec> damn.
[10:58] <kevin> UNH2LY,  yup sometimes
[10:58] <UNH2LY> or at least thats how it was in breezy
[10:58] <Matic`Makovec> lets' see
[10:58] <eobanb> i suspect that's because gaim uses oss instead of alsa, and mixing gets fubar'd
[10:58] <Matic`Makovec> thanks for the answer kevin
[10:58] <kevin> Matic`Makovec, np
[10:58] <kevin> first real answer I have been able to give all night lol
[10:58] <YuRaider> mrmist: the same thing happened to me for wx-config (wxWidgets), even though I had wx-config
[10:59] <YuRaider> I could start it from the terminal
[10:59] <YuRaider> but when I tried to compile a wxWidgets application
[10:59] <YuRaider> it reported that there's no wx-config
[10:59] <YuRaider> wier
[10:59] <YuRaider> wierd*
[10:59] <eobanb> didnt know anyone used wxwidgets anymore :P
[10:59] <Matic`Makovec> kevin, naah, it's not gaim fault. still doesn't work.
[10:59] <freddyubuntu> sorry that I repeat my question , I was disc connected and I didnt get your answers
[10:59] <UNH2LY> did any of you guys have like serious isues installing ubuntu from a freshly burned cd?
[10:59] <UNH2LY> *issues
[10:59] <Locke_> what am wxwidgets
[10:59] <YuRaider> eobanb why not :)
[10:59] <mrmist> YuRaider: found it. There's a shell-script contained only in the gtk1.2-dev, not in the 2.0 version
[11:00] <freddyubuntu> I am trying to install a program... i get this error in the ./configure
[11:00] <YuRaider> qt is all fine and good and well but it's massive :)
[11:00] <freddyubuntu> checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
[11:00] <YuRaider> freddy
[11:00] <kevin> UNH2LY,  yes, burned the CD too fast and it crapped during the install
[11:00] <YuRaider> this is QT dev
[11:00] <mrmist> Now I'm getting this:
[11:00] <UNH2LY> kevin, hrm, maybe that was my problem
[11:00] <mrmist> aclocal: command not found
[11:00] <freddyubuntu> what should I install?
[11:00] <czr> mrmist, install autoconf
[11:00] <YuRaider> and automake
[11:00] <YuRaider> :)
[11:00] <YuRaider> you'll probably need
[11:00] <UNH2LY> cause mine would hang up during the 95% thing, when it checks for stuff to remove
[11:00] <freddyubuntu> what ?
[11:00] <YuRaider> that too
[11:00] <UNH2LY> or something of that nature
[11:00] <freddyubuntu> I cant undrestand
[11:01] <kevin> UNH2LY, I had to reburn at 12x and all id well
[11:01] <Locke_> !restrictedformats
[11:01] <czr> if you see Makefile.am in your source, then you need automake
[11:01] <subiraj> does anyone know where apt stores the downloaded files...
[11:01] <ubotu> see !restricted
[11:01] <YuRaider> freddy: go to Synaptic (System->Administration->Synaptic...)
[11:01] <Locke_> !restricted
[11:01] <ubotu> well, restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats. This page's intent is to enable you to play most non-free media formats that are not DRM encoded. Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats.
[11:01] <mrmist> aaaah...autoconf :D
[11:01] <YuRaider> and then search
[11:01] <YuRaider> for "qt dev"
[11:01] <subiraj> can anyone ansewr to me
[11:01] <YuRaider> you should probably install the latest Qt(4)
[11:01] <UNH2LY> kevin, i ended up doing a server install from a breezy disc (desktop wouldnt work on that either) and then upgrading to a desktop install, then to dapper
[11:01] <freddyubuntu> aha
[11:01] <freddyubuntu> i think i installed qt 3
[11:02] <czr> subir, /var/spool or /var/cache
[11:02] <freddyubuntu> there are a lot of QT things...
[11:02] <YuRaider> well yes - but you also need the development packagess
[11:02] <mrmist> On thing though... Do I have to do anything special to optimize compilation for running on two cores ?
[11:02] <YuRaider> those packages
[11:02] <czr> I'd go with /var/cache/apt
[11:02] <kevin> UNH2LY, wow!! that was a lot to just get Dapper
[11:02] <mrmist> Or is it sorted out automatically ??
[11:02] <YuRaider> are marked x-dev , where x stands for what you wwanna install
[11:02] <subiraj> thnx czr
[11:02] <czr> mrmist, depends on the software that uses qt
[11:02] <UNH2LY> kevin, i agree, but it worked rather well
[11:02] <mrmist> czr: qt? I'm not using qt !?
[11:02] <czr> mrmist, there is nothing specific in qt that would help on smp-systems (ht, dual core or real smp)
[11:03] <czr> mrmist, what are you using?
[11:03] <UNH2LY> kevin, do you theme gnome a lot, im kind of looking for some pointerws
[11:03] <UNH2LY> *pointers
[11:03] <YuRaider> to me - the Human theme is the best
[11:03] <kevin> UNH2LY, I got a laugh out of it, switched the wifes monitor, couldn't reconfigure x... had to reinstall
[11:03] <YuRaider> :)
[11:03] <freddyubuntu> is this enough "Qt 4 development tools" to install?
[11:03] <mrmist> czr: I'm compiling an application. qt is just the GUI lib.
[11:03] <kevin> UNH2LY, not really
[11:03] <bence> hi
[11:03] <YuRaider> freddyubuntu: well it should be Qt-dev specifically
[11:03] <czr> mrmist, I know what Qt is. just confused you with someone else :-)
[11:03] <YuRaider> but I'm not quite sure
[11:04] <mrmist> czr: hehe... that's OK
[11:04] <czr> mrmist, but no, if the application uses threads or multi-process model then it can utilize dual-core
[11:04] <YuRaider> so the easiest way to get over this is to install everything related to QT: )
[11:04] <czr> otherwise you're out of luck, kind of
[11:04] <subiraj> thnx i found it
[11:04] <UNH2LY> kevin, im on a lappy with only 1024x768 max res (its a 12") and im looking for some real low profile panels.... but i want to keep gnome, i like it a lot
[11:04] <subiraj> whats qt?
[11:04] <freddyubuntu> ok thanks YouRaider
[11:04] <mrmist> czr: Will it detect both cores automatically then ?
[11:04] <czr> mrmist, what will?
[11:04] <kevin> Well, night folks big day for the family tomorrow
[11:04] <czr> mrmist, that's the kernel's problem, not application problem
[11:05] <YuRaider> freedyubuntu: no problem
[11:05] <eobanb> subiraj, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28toolkit%29
[11:05] <UNH2LY> subiraj, thanks for asking, i was just going to do the same
[11:05] <YuRaider> subiraj: you seriously don't know what QT is?
[11:05] <CoolCubix> Hello, I am trying to compile/install a driver which needs kernel source. I downloaded (via apt-get), unpacked and made symlinks, but the installation script of the driver can't find the file include/linux/version.h. Why isn't it in the tarball ?
[11:05] <ScottiNailon> grrr NETWORKING!!!
[11:05] <mrmist> czr: Yeah, I guess. But I don't know how the kernel is working in ubuntu
[11:05] <eobanb> CoolCubix, what driver?
[11:05] <subiraj> na i am new to this op sys
[11:05] <ScottiNailon> Anyone here who can help me with networking???
[11:05] <eobanb> !anyone
[11:05] <subiraj> i am tryin it out for fun
[11:05] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? </hint>
[11:05] <UNH2LY> ScottiNailon, whatcha need
[11:05] <UNH2LY> ?
[11:05] <CoolCubix> eobanb> driver quickcam for the webam of the same name
[11:06] <czr> mrmist, uname -a? if you see smp there, then it can see all the cores. also cat /proc/cpuinfo
[11:06] <eobanb> CoolCubix, if you installed something through apt then there shouldnt be any other installation script you need to run...
[11:06] <ScottiNailon> UNH2LY can I speak to you in msg mode? I dont have my glasses and I cant see much in the normal room...
[11:06] <subiraj> i have 5.10 n i am upgradin to 6.06 any advices for better working
[11:06] <YuRaider> QT is a library for GUIs and GUI is everything you see in the graphic mode, all programs that do not run from the terminal (konsole) are GUI programs, the ones that have windows and cool looking buttons 'n' stuff
[11:06] <YuRaider> and QT is used for easily making nice GUIs
[11:07] <YuRaider> subiraj I hope this cleared things a bit :)
[11:07] <czr> although Qt is not the only GUI toolkit. and it has a lot of otherstuff as well, not just GUI
[11:07] <subiraj> ya thnx
[11:07] <CoolCubix> eobanb> this driver compiles into a module, and that's why the package is only distributed as source in apt repositories. There are some things to do before compiling it
[11:07] <mrmist> czr:  2.6.15-25-686 #1 SMP PREEMP
[11:07] <subiraj> okkk
[11:07] <czr> mrmist, then you have a suitable kernel to drive more than one logical core. so there.
[11:07] <mrmist> cool
[11:08] <czr> mrmist, applications need to be designed differently if they want to use all the CPUs in a system. just hope your application has been designed in this way
[11:08] <czr> mrmist, there is no automagical setting for the compiler for this
[11:08] <ScottiNailon> UNH2LY: I booted into ubuntu from the CDROM, whilst I was installling the CD picked up my network setting automatically, but after the install the UBUNTU installation didnt pick up my network settings... I dont get it . . .
[11:08] <mrmist> czr: Yeah... I know. Let's hope so.
[11:09] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, what sort of networking.  wired ethernet?
[11:09] <subiraj> i wanted to ask one more thing when the apt starts downloading files from the servers it first looks for the files in the cache dir, if i copy these files n save it for further use on my system will it work if i pt back them in that directory
[11:09] <mrmist> czr: You gotta employ multiple threads in a prog to make it work. That's kinda' logical :)
[11:09] <CoolCubix> eobanb> in fact the real problem is : why is there no include/linux/version.h in the linux-source-2.6.15 ?
[11:09] <ScottiNailon> wired ethernet with DHCP server from the switch
[11:09] <Eleaf> m
[11:10] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, does the network interface show up at all?
[11:10] <subiraj> is QT based on programing or on visual inputs..
[11:10] <czr> mrmist, there are other techniques as well
[11:10] <YuRaider> subiraj: both
[11:10] <ScottiNailon> I have an ADSL modem connected to a wireless hub which my computer is wired to.
[11:10] <czr> mrmist, and just using threads doesn't mean that the program will scale
[11:10] <YuRaider> there's a nice QT Designer
[11:10] <subiraj> okk
[11:10] <mrmist> czr: have any good references ?
[11:10] <subiraj> okk
[11:10] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: yes Eth0 shows up.
[11:10] <YuRaider> which helps you create GUIs by clicking
[11:10] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, and what happens when you do 'sudo dhclient'
[11:10] <czr> mrmist, read the book on posix realtime extensions (POSIX.4 - programming for the real world)
[11:11] <czr> that doesn't touch threads though
[11:11] <subiraj> can u refer one to QT designer to install
[11:11] <ScottiNailon> i havent tried it...
[11:11] <YuRaider> well it's installed along with QT itselft
[11:11] <ScottiNailon> shall I boot into UBUNTU and try it ?
[11:11] <YuRaider> itself
[11:11] <mrmist> czr: ehm... what book ?
[11:11] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, how else would we get it working?
[11:11] <subiraj> where do i find QT?
[11:12] <YuRaider> you can find it at the repositories
[11:12] <YuRaider> like from Synaptic
[11:12] <ScottiNailon> I am not sure - I havent played in Linux for a long time :)
[11:12] <czr> mrmist, depends on what you do. you know how to measure software performance?
[11:12] <subiraj> okk if i search for QT
[11:12] <rjian> how can i open .tar file extension?
[11:12] <morphix> For the ati driver on dapper i used >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-5ead174a0b3294527486cd4d71ded66b40003f25 , when i do fglrxinfo it doesnt say "ati technologies inc" or "radeon 9800" like the example one does..
[11:12] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: are there any other thoughts?? just before I reboot into linux
[11:12] <YuRaider> sorry subiraj I'm gonna have to leave u guyz now so I can have breakfast :D
[11:12] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, after you log in, open a terminal, do 'ifconfig' and make sure the network interface is there
[11:12] <subiraj> okk
[11:12] <eobanb> and then try 'sudo dhclient' to get a DHCP lease
[11:12] <mrmist> czr: I'm creating a raytracer. It's as simple as comparing rendering times
[11:12] <subiraj> then gud mornin to u
[11:13] <czr> mrmist, obviously if you think it's that simple, you don't need any pointers from me ;-)
[11:13] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, if that doesnt work, then write down what the error message is, and tell us what it is
[11:13] <mrmist> czr: Hehe.... then tell me..
[11:13] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: hmmm ok, um yeah thats it I guess... I will check it out.... the system boots right into gnome
[11:13] <czr> anyhow, I need to do some real work meanwhile
[11:13] <subiraj> is there any way to speed up downloads n eat maximum bandwidth in ubuntu...
[11:13] <czr> mrmist, maybe you'll learn in time.
[11:13] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, do you have two computers available or something?
[11:13] <ScottiNailon> something to do witgh DNS servers - I cant ping yahoo...
[11:14] <ScottiNailon> no only the one :(
[11:14] <mrmist> czr: gimme a hint
[11:14] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, well you should be getting DNS info via DHCP
[11:14] <czr> mrmist, L1 > L2 > memory > virtual mem, but with multiple CPUs there will be a lot of scalability problems when multiple caches need to hold the same data
[11:14] <ScottiNailon> SHOULD being the operative word!!!
[11:14] <ScottiNailon> hehe
[11:14] <smacky_wolf> Could anyone give me any reasons as to why installing ANYTHING on my 64bit Dapper install is nearly impossible? If so, also how could I actually install something?
[11:15] <eobanb> if you aren't, open System > Administration > Neworking and choose the DNS tab, and see what appears there
[11:15] <czr> mrmist, obviously you should look into packed vector operations as well, depending on your mathematics requirements and whether you can parallelize your raytracing calculations to begin with
[11:15] <ScottiNailon> nothing appears there....
[11:15] <ScottiNailon> what SHOULD be there?
[11:15] <konfuzed> now that the 5.10 install is actually at the stage of "Installing Packackages" is there any more manual intervention required like even 1 key stroke on the keyboard?
[11:15] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, well, your DNS servers, i would think
[11:15] <konfuzed> im way past the time to pass out
[11:16] <subiraj> i have one more problem when i do lil too much with visuals n X11 it fails to start, is there any way to recover from that
[11:16] <ScottiNailon> how do I find out what they are? any ideas ?
[11:16] <mrmist> czr: think I'll take a course on paralell computing. But it's such a theoretical course.. *sigh*
[11:16] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, it really depends on your ISP.  you may want to check your router's configuration and see what it has there.
[11:16] <czr> mrmist, there is real parallel stuff, and there is small domain (intra-node) parallel, which requires quite different approaches
[11:16] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: ok I will check it that way
[11:16] <czr> mrmist, read the intel guide on optimization (optimizing for ia-32 architecture). it's quite good
[11:17] <enyc> I find the selection of DNS tools in ubuntu-main limited... hrrm
[11:17] <enyc> universe has many fo the more userful tools
[11:17] <suprchris> What happened to all the functionality of the screensaver?
[11:17] <mrmist> czr: Thanks for the tips. I'll do that! :)
[11:17] <czr> mrmist, search for the pdf on intel.com -> developers -> processors -> foo
[11:18] <grudu> hi there, I need some help... i'm trying to save some datas after a windws crash ; so i'm using a live ubuntu session
[11:18] <UNH2LY> ScottiNailon, as root or sudo do  "dhclient eth0"
[11:18] <czr> it's free. there is also a document from amd on the same subject. quite good as well
[11:18] <eobanb> suprchris, it died a horrible death by zealous minimalist gnomes.  but that's a subject for #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:18] <enyc> like the 'host' tool (not bind9-host) and NSD (rather more robust / less reoserce hungry  server for authoritative dns zones than bind9 from main) etc.
[11:18] <mrmist> czr: yup. I'll sure do that. I'm mostly developing for Intel though...
[11:18] <grudu> but, i can't find my windows partitions...
[11:18] <suprchris> is there anyway to get the original back
[11:18] <grudu> Is someone able t help me ?
[11:18] <eobanb> UNH2LY, i already suggested that
[11:18] <mrmist> czr: But I'm not doing asm though... it's C/C++
[11:18] <czr> mrmist, it doesn't matter. both books are good.
[11:18] <UNH2LY> sorry, xchat lagged out for some reason
[11:18] <czr> mrmist, the books mainly are for c/c++, not a much of asm stuff
[11:18] <mrmist> czr: I'll sure look into it
[11:19] <Stroganoff> eobanb, that's very funny with those screensavers, that take input from a custom image or desktop screenshot and will just show this ugly, colorfull test screen
[11:19] <smacky_wolf> Could anyone give me any reasons as to why installing ANYTHING on my 64bit Dapper install is nearly impossible? If so, also how could I actually install something?
[11:19] <czr> mrmist, generally the programming language doesn't matter as much, as long as it doesn't hide any dynamic latencies (C++ might do that sometimes)
[11:19] <eobanb> Stroganoff, okay..?
[11:19] <suprchris> eoband, is there a way to get the old ss manager back?
[11:20] <Stroganoff> i just don't understand those minimalistic morons at gnome, sry
[11:20] <mrmist> czr: Does it consider stuff like that? These are expressions I don't really know that well
[11:20] <eobanb> nor do i, Stroganoff
[11:20] <subiraj> need an answer pple....i have one more problem when i do lil too much with visuals n X11 it fails to start, is there any way to recover from that
[11:20] <eobanb> suprchris, yeah, there should be
[11:20] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: thanks man you are the best :)
[11:20] <czr> mrmist, does what consider?
[11:20] <eobanb> check if you have the xscreensaver package installed, suprchris
[11:20] <M_Fatih> hi ubuntu, have a nice sunday :)
[11:20] <suprchris> i have some of the packages
[11:20] <smacky_wolf> subiraj, try ctl+alt+backspace
[11:20] <czr> mrmist, you should learn to profile your code first, to know which part to "optimize"/redesign
[11:21] <smacky_wolf> Should restart your xsession
[11:21] <suprchris> but there is also gnome-screensaver installed
[11:21] <eobanb> subiraj, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:21] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: errr.... is there an XCHAT in UBUNTU
[11:21] <subiraj> ya but after restart gnome fails to start it reports an error
[11:21] <eobanb> suprchris, gnome-screensaver is the dumbified one
[11:21] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, yeah, should be...
[11:21] <suprchris> ok
[11:21] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, if not, sudo apt-get install xchat
[11:21] <Xorph> ScottiNailon, sudo apt-get install xchat
[11:21] <mrmist> czr: yep. I've done some profiling on scripts, but not on C++ code. I'm kinda' new to development on Unix platforms.
[11:21] <suprchris> I guess i'll see what I can find.
[11:21] <subiraj> okk i will try this next time it happens eobanb
[11:22] <grudu> hi/bonjour/nazdar
[11:22] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: is there a way to change from Gnome to KDE ?
[11:22] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, yes, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:22] <czr> mrmist, google for 'gprof' and 'valgrind'. although you should generally understand something about architectures first (especially with valgrind)
[11:23] <czr> mrmist, good luck though. it's a road that never really ends ;-)
[11:23] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: thats KDE is it?
[11:23] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, yes.
[11:23] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: do you have any newer or better suggestions then KDE ?
[11:23] <mrmist> Yeah... I've kinda' understood that... hehe. I've been coding for quite some time, but I still feel like a newbie
[11:23] <morphix> i installed the ati driver for my 9800 pro.. set up dual head.. rebooted.. but its still not dual head :(
[11:23] <ScottiNailon> has anything BETTER been designed?
[11:23] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, well personally i prefer gnome.
[11:23] <YuRaider> is there a way to install amaroK and KDE based apps without really installing KDE itself?
[11:23] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: why ?
[11:23] <morphix> and i get that DRI is missing error.. even though that module is set to load
[11:23] <mrmist> czr: thanks though :) You've given me lots of pointers now
[11:24] <czr> mrmist, I'm like a double-linked list :-). have fun
[11:24] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, everyone has their own opinion as to which desktop environment is better, but i suggest you try both and see which one you prefer, and keep in mind that both can be highly customised.
[11:24] <Locke_> gnome beats the crap out of kde
[11:24] <Guilt> let's traverse czr :)
[11:24] <eobanb> Locke_, let's not start a flamewar..
[11:25] <mrmist> czr: hehe :) Thanks
[11:25] <subiraj> thanx pple goin bye
[11:25] <mrmist> czr: *saving the log*
[11:25] <czr> Guilt, noo. I'd like to keep some pointers private :-)
[11:25] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: I need one that is REALLYeasy to use for the end user, I am trying to find an easy build of linux to start installing for end users in order to to further Linux :)
[11:25] <Guilt> ;)
[11:25] <czr> mrmist, when you have specific questions, drop a privmsg. I hang around freenode most of the time
[11:26] <mrmist> cool... here on ubuntu ?
[11:26] <czr> mainly on #kernel
[11:26] <czr> but privmsg doesn't care
[11:26] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, well you know again it just depends on what you like.  by default, KDE looks and feels more like windows xp than gnome does.  in my opinion gnome is somewhat better-designed.
[11:26] <morphix> wtf, i have 3 monitor sections.. and 3 devices section
[11:26] <morphix> :/
[11:26] <ScottiNailon> Ease of use wise? whats better ?
[11:27] <mrmist> czr: yeah :) I'll do that... it's ages since I've been using IRC... trying it again these days
[11:27] <czr> you can take a man our of IRC, but you can never take IRC out of a man
[11:27] <mrmist> czr: Any way I can add you to a list on Gaim or something ?
[11:27] <ltibor65> Hi guys! Please, help! How can I set the path of an executable program?
[11:27] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, probably gnome.  KDE tends to have a lot more (arguably confusing) options for things.
[11:27] <CrippsFX> I did an apt-get upgrade yesterday, and among other things my kernel was updated to 2.6.15-25-i386 ... but now I can't get my broadcom wireless to work. I'm using the bcm43xx module, and "iwlist eth1 scanning" returns no results ... problem is, I'm practically sitting on top of my AP. Has enybody else experienced this problem, or fixed it?
[11:27] <mrmist> czr: hehe
[11:27] <czr> mrmist, sure.
[11:28] <fijam> hello. I need some assistance installing Ubuntu. Could you help?
[11:28] <CrippsFX> ltibor65, export "PATH"="$PATH:/path/to/program"
[11:28] <eobanb> fijam, what is your question?
[11:28] <subiraj> hi frnz
[11:28] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: I have an o2 PDAII MINI - is there any compatibility with those?
[11:28] <fijam> I've got two physical drives. On the first one I've got W98, which I'd like to leave here. Second one is empty, ready for Ubuntu
[11:28] <eobanb> i don't know what that is, ScottiNailon
[11:28] <fijam> How to install it?
[11:28] <ScottiNailon> its a PDA
[11:28] <subiraj> one more question how should i make my gnome meeting work
[11:28] <ScottiNailon> palm sized comptuer :)
[11:29] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, does it run palm OS?
[11:29] <subiraj> i mean whom can i connect with gnome meeting
[11:29] <eobanb> fijam, have you booted the dapper live CD?
[11:29] <ScottiNailon> errr. yeah I think so
[11:29] <fijam> I am currently under W98. I just want some theory ;)
[11:29] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: it says designed for Windows Mobile
[11:30] <Healot> still usin 9x?
[11:30] <eobanb> fijam, when you run the installer on the dapper disc, it should present both drives to you, and you'll be able to select on which drive to install ubuntu.  it will also detect your windows install and make that an option in the grub boot menu.
[11:30] <babo> How do I grep match for a word, case-insensitive .. ?
[11:30] <KrisWood> how do I get audio and video codecs?
[11:30] <mrmist> grep word -i
[11:30] <eobanb> ScottiNailon, i really do not know.  i'm sure there are a variety of pocketPC tools out there for linux, though
[11:30] <SuperQ> fijam: yea, you want to download the Desktop CD
[11:30] <eobanb> !tell KrisWood about restricted
[11:30] <mrmist> babo: grep  "myword" -i
[11:30] <subiraj> pple what is gnome meeting for??????????????/
[11:31] <fijam> eobanb, but... the GRUB will change MBR? And what about that stuff with creating /boot partition etc?
[11:31] <babo> mrmist: thanks
[11:31] <SuperQ> fijam: One question tho, you're running W98, how much memory does your computer have?
[11:31] <mrmist> babo: np :)
[11:31] <fijam> superQ just 128 :(
[11:31] <ScottiNailon> oh well, I guess I will get my system working and then look into it - because my pocketPC syncs with my outlook calender and contacts etc.... I cant loose that.
[11:31] <SuperQ> fijam: oh.. that's not enough for install :(
[11:31] <fijam> SuperQ even with using e.g IceWM?
[11:31] <KrisWood> thanks
[11:31] <SuperQ> fijam: well, you will have to do a text mode install
[11:32] <eobanb> fijam, you'll want to get the text installer disc instead
[11:32] <SuperQ> fijam: which is the "alternate" installer
[11:32] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: ok I go now and try to get my broken network fixed - ttys
[11:32] <rej-> how do i get the whole string of a running process with ps x? it cuts off at the end of the terminal..
[11:32] <ScottiNailon> goners
[11:32] <fijam> tell me more please :)
[11:32] <eobanb> fijam, and once you've done that you'll probably want to switch to a more lightweight window manager, but let's jump off that bridge when we come to it..
[11:32] <CrippsFX> subiraj, gnome-meeting is for video conferencing. It's kind of like microsoft netmeeting
[11:32] <SuperQ> fijam: it's not that much more dificult
[11:32] <SuperQ> fijam: you may want to look at using Xubuntu
[11:32] <fijam> superQ And what is that?
[11:33] <eobanb> ubuntu + xfce
[11:33] <SuperQ> fijam: it's a lightweight desktop
[11:33] <KrisWood> what's a good gui FTP client?
[11:33] <eobanb> !tell fijam about xubuntu
[11:33] <transgress> KrisWood: gftp
[11:33] <eobanb> KrisWood, perhaps try gftp
[11:33] <dragoon> KrisWood: gftp
[11:33] <KrisWood> cool thanks
[11:33] <SuperQ> fijam: with either one, the installer will make all the partitions for you
[11:33] <SuperQ> fijam: and install the MBR
[11:33] <MenZa> gFTP is horrible (IMO)--Nautilus is better.
[11:33] <subiraj> cripps FX:\whom can i connect to?
[11:33] <SuperQ> fijam: you just have to tell it which drive to use
[11:34] <fijam> SuperQ thanks
[11:34] <SuperQ> fijam: (you will need atleast a 2GB drive
[11:34] <CrippsFX> subiraj, whoever else is using gnome meeting ... I think it's possible to connect to people using net meeting to.
[11:34] <fijam> SuperQ got 6GB
[11:34] <SuperQ> fijam: should be ok
[11:34] <SuperQ> fijam: it will make it all with one partition
[11:34] <KrisWood> thanks MenZa, I didn't know Nautilus had FTP, where do I find it?
[11:34] <dre> hi
[11:34] <eobanb> welcome, dre
[11:34] <SuperQ> fijam: you don't need /boot anymore, because grub knows how to get around the partition size limits
[11:34] <fijam> SuperQ: and how much space should I spre for swap?
[11:34] <dre> how do i get resolutions higher than 1024?
[11:34] <CrippsFX> subiraj, unless you use gnome-meeting for business video conferencing, I think that installing it is a waste of time. It *is* possible to use it for webcam over MSN (on gaim), but I really don't know how.
[11:35] <kane77> i have a problem with totem... it always opens up below the upper panel (the titlebar is under panel) no matter how I leave it.... it's pretty annoying... how can I make it open normally????
[11:35] <MenZa> !resolution
[11:35] <ubotu> hmm... resolution is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:35] <SuperQ> fijam: the installer will figure it out for you
[11:35] <eobanb> fijam, considering you only have 128 MB of RAM, probably a lot
[11:35] <SuperQ> eobanb: heh
[11:35] <MenZa> KrisWood: there's a "Connect to server" point in the menu next to 'Applications'.
[11:35] <tripppy> how do i setup auto updates for ubuntu between 1am and 5am - download and install only?
[11:35] <SuperQ> fijam: if it's too slow with Xubuntu, you can install "fluxbox"
[11:35] <SuperQ> fijam: it's very very light weight
[11:36] <fijam> superQ: yeas, I am aware of its existance ;)
[11:36] <KrisWood> MenZa: oooh very mac-ish
[11:36] <subiraj> okkk
[11:36] <MenZa> KrisWood: 'bit.
[11:36] <fijam> superQ and eobanb: thanks for help
[11:36] <subiraj> tripppy i ve the same question
[11:36] <rait> hi
[11:36] <fijam> bye
[11:36] <eobanb> welcome, rait
[11:37] <rait> can anyone help me resize my ext3 partition?
[11:37] <eobanb> to what end, rait?
[11:37] <rait> how do u mean to zhat end?
[11:37] <rait> what*
[11:37] <eobanb> rait, why do you want to do that
[11:38] <rait> to be able to add the un-used space to my windows partition
[11:38] <LoneShadow> unmount it, and use parted
[11:38] <eobanb> ...unless of course it's your boot volume..
[11:39] <rait> i think it is
[11:39] <eobanb> in which case unmounting it is going to prove rather difficult
[11:39] <rait> im not sure ...
[11:39] <rait> havent used linux in ages
[11:39] <rtg> how to install themes in XUBUNTU
[11:39] <shylock> hi, i tried to install gnucash, it doesnt show up in the menu and when i run it from the terminal it starts with the motif look, anyone know how i change it to gtk?
[11:39] <eobanb> rait, uhm, well, if it is, you'll have to boot from some other volume, like a dapper liveCD, and run gparted from that
[11:39] <rjian> does anyone know about swat samba??
[11:39] <LoneShadow> if you havnt used in ages, it might be a better idea, reformat it :D
[11:39] <LoneShadow> unless you have important data
[11:39] <dre> sudo: timestamp too far in the future:

[11:48] <rait> can anyone help me with my partition problem ?
[11:48] <micktm> Hi! Someone knows a compiler for fortran 90?
[11:49] <ube> hey guys. I'm trying to apt-get filezilla but i get an error "Couldn't find package filzilla"
[11:49] <bbrazil> micktm: there's a gcc backend for fortran, not sure which version though
[11:49] <subiraj> sktddie... goto system-> adm-> discs
[11:49] <micktm> I found g77 and gfortran for 77 and 95
[11:49] <drumline_> Hoxzer: the ssh man page explains what you're asking for.
[11:50] <Snellgrove> ube - I can't find a filezilla in the repositories, I think you'll need to compile or find a deb from somewhere else
[11:50] <ube> snellgrove: i dont know how to compile :[
[11:50] <Healot> micktm: gfortran then...
[11:50] <Snellgrove> sktrdie: are you doing a new install at all
[11:51] <Snellgrove> or from the live CD?
[11:51] <Snellgrove> like the 6.06 desktop CD
[11:51] <rait> anyone?
[11:51] <Snellgrove> rait:  what's the problem?  I don't know if I can help, but I can try :)
[11:51] <sktrdie> Snellgrove: I already have linux, I just need this new HD for storage
[11:51] <elknof3_> hello

[11:52] <Snellgrove> ah might be quite easily, sktrdie  - do a sudo apt-get install gparted
[11:52] <Healot> micktm: get MS Fotran then, hehe
[11:52] <micktm> or better, it reads them, but I cant' execute the executables
[11:52] <Snellgrove> gparted = gnome partition editor or something, its quite nice to use :)
[11:52] <micktm> but I'm under linux
[11:52] <sktrdie> subiraj: I am in, but can't seem to get it mounted yet
[11:52] <Snellgrove> you will basically select your new disk in the list, and then can easily create a new partition
[11:52] <Healot> micktm: what was the exact error?
[11:53] <LoneShadow> rait: if you ares still looking to solve your partition problem, describe what your hdd partitions are like
[11:53] <rait> well i have 2 seperate Hd's and one runs windows with 40 gig and another one that runs linux ubuntu with 80 gig and i want to resize the linux one to have free space to use for my windows partition
[11:53] <subiraj> select ur hard disc n goto partitions tab
[11:53] <micktm> Fortran Runtime Error: no such file or directory
[11:53] <subiraj> there u will have a format button...
[11:53] <sktrdie> subirajsubiraj; I am there
[11:53] <Healot> what was the command line?
[11:54] <Snellgrove> rait: there'll be some kind of bootable (on a CD) partition editor you can use.
[11:54] <micktm> but because it's a sintax error, he search a fortran95 code, but the code is in f95
[11:54] <LoneShadow> rait: are you booted in linux right now ?
[11:54] <rait> yes
[11:54] <subiraj> sktrdie does it work???
[11:54] <LoneShadow> can you check how many partitions are currently created ?
[11:54] <bbrazil> LoneShadow: cat /proc/partitions
[11:54] <OrTigaS> hi! how can i upgrade to 6.06 thru synaptic?
[11:54] <rait> 3 i think
[11:55] <Gimp`> hey
[11:55] <rait> yeah 3
[11:55] <Gimp`> i installed ubuntu the other day and now im having problems installing windows xp
[11:55] <LoneShadow> rait: what are the sizes of those 3 ?
[11:56] <rait> one is 74.842 mb and both others are 1.475 mb
[11:56] <Gimp`> i was reading about how the 2.6 kernel can mess up the mbr making windows unable to boot so i ran the windows recovery console and did "fixmbr" and "fixboot" but it didnt help
[11:56] <OrTigaS> you better to install first the windows before the linux
[11:56] <Gimp`> anyone know how to fix it?
[11:56] <sktrdie> subiraj: there's a wierd list of partitions
[11:56] <sktrdie> subiraj: the first says Free space
[11:56] <LoneShadow> rait
[11:56] <Gimp`> OrTigaS: my hdd died and i didnt have a working windows xp cd :(
[11:56] <transgress> okay i'm having a weird problem with my ALPS touchpad.  i had it all nice and neat but now, when i click on something, i have to move my mouse before it actually clicks
[11:56] <sktrdie> subiraj: and the second (the one I created) says there's no free space.
[11:57] <LoneShadow> rait: double check your partitions :D, you should see your 80GB
[11:57] <subiraj> ya thats what is ro be partioned
[11:57] <subiraj> wat?
[11:57] <subiraj> sktrdie explain a lil
[11:57] <OrTigaS> theres a lot windows xp installation... you know that :)
[11:58] <Gimp`> so does anyone know how to fix it so i can install and boot to windows?
[11:59] <rait> well thats what i see here really when i check my partitions
[11:59] <teclis> Hello, my USB-Disk ist formatted with FAT32 and will be mounted with utf-8-charset. How can I mount it with another charset like 8859-1?
[11:59] <subiraj> sktrdie did u select the new hard disc???
[11:59] <Healot> teclis: absolutely
[11:59] <ScottiNailon> eobanb: can we talk in msg windows?
[11:59] <subiraj> it shoud be formatted first b4 any free space?
[12:00] <OrTigaS> hi! how can i upgrade to 6.06 thru synaptic?
[12:00] <ScottiNailon> brb - making hot milo :)
[12:00] <nmsa> how do I know what sound modules to lead ?
[12:00] <LoneShadow> rait: when you do cat /proc/partitions, what does the first line say ? mine says " 3     0   39082680 hda" thats 40gb on /dev/hda
[12:00] <nmsa> load
[12:01] <KrisWood> how do i get the xvid codec for linux?
[12:01] <sktrdie> subiraj: thanks for thehelp, I had partition it wrong
[12:01] <teclis> Healot: ?
[12:01] <LoneShadow> rait: also you can type "df" to see which partition you can shrink, check the usage
[12:01] <rait> it says the exact same number
[12:01] <subiraj> ok my peasure...
[12:02] <LoneShadow> rait: paste the first line from /proc/paritions
[12:02] <rait> 3     0   39082680 hda
[12:02] <LoneShadow> so you are using 40gb hdd for your linux, not the 80 gig one ?
[12:02] <ytripppy> does anyone have a xbox and runs XBMC?
[12:03] <teclis> Healot: The problem is, that Windows doesn't use utf-8. And I use the HDD to share data between different pcs
[12:03] <LoneShadow> oh never mind, you have 2 hdds, do you hdb as well ?
[12:03] <LoneShadow> see*
[12:03] <rait> yes
[12:03] <LoneShadow> that I am guessing is 80gb,
[12:03] <rait> 3    64   78150744 hdb
[12:04] <raldi> When i mount an NFS drive, it takes several minutes .. looking at the packet dumps, it seems the server is trying to send UDP packets to my sunrpc port (111) but i'm sending back "port unreachable"
[12:04] <LoneShadow> right, and do you see hdb1, hdb2,.. ?
[12:04] <Healot> teclis: on the option column, change "utf-8" to "iso8859-1", remount
[12:04] <rait> hdb1 and hdb5
[12:04] <raldi> I'm using a stock Ubuntu kernel. Do i need to compile my own with some special option, or maybe install a package?
[12:04] <LoneShadow> what does it say when you type df ?
[12:05] <podgo> hi everybody
[12:05] <rait> about hdb?
[12:05] <KrisWood> how do I use apt to find a package name?
[12:05] <Healot> raldi: a few ways to do that
[12:05] <podgo> apt-cache search
[12:05] <mrmist> I can't get JACK to work..
[12:05] <KrisWood> thanks
[12:05] <podgo> and the name you wanna search
[12:06] <raldi> healot: to do what? did you see my first message too or just my second?
[12:06] <rait> /dev/hdb1             75434976   1802068  69801008   3% /
[12:06] <Healot> teclis: on the option column, change "utf-8" to "iso8859-1", remount (file /etc/fstab)
[12:07] <LoneShadow> what about hdb5 ?
[12:07] <podgo> how can help me for a usb keyboard issue on dapper ?
[12:07] <rait> it doesnt shoz there
[12:07] <KrisWood> how do I find an xvid codec for ubuntu?
[12:07] <rait> show*
[12:07] <LoneShadow> ok so you just one single root partition :D
[12:07] <ScottiNailon> errr anyone here ok with NETWORKING ?
[12:07] <raldi> never mind, i got it: NFS mounting took forever because i hadn't installed the "portmap" package
[12:07] <ScottiNailon> I am having some CRAP probz :(
[12:08] <LoneShadow> rait: you sure you dont want reinstall linux ?
[12:08] <LeaChim> ScottiNailon, what's the problem?
[12:08] <podgo> i am a network administrator ask me if you want sCottiNailon
[12:09] <LoneShadow> rait: you need to boot from a cd, and use parted on /dev/hdb1 to resize it
[12:09] <ScottiNailon> podgo & LeaChim: I installed Ubuntum, whilst installing the system picked up my networking automatically, but now, well it aint picking up at all, I have some logs to show but not in channel...
[12:09] <teclis> Healot: their is no entry in fstab. hmm, because it's an automounted usb-disk?
[12:10] <rait> hmm
[12:10] <podgo> i have just an issue on my laptop with an ortek usb keyboard ! .....on the 2.6.12 it works but not on the 2.6.15 from dapper drake : / so no usb keyb that smell like bullshit
[12:10] <azi`> hello, i have problems with my PCMCIA card.. i've plugged a WLAN card into the laptop (Asus 100g Deluxe) but , now i really don't know what should i seek for ? is there any conf wizard for that?
[12:10] <rait> ok i4ll do thqt then
[12:10] <podgo> who can help me:p
[12:10] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, if you have logs and the like then http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org is a good place to put them
[12:10] <teclis> Healot: how should the entry look like?
[12:10] <rait> i'll
[12:10] <rait> *
[12:10] <LoneShadow> rait: you could try using parition magic from window, it might do the trick too
[12:10] <LoneShadow> windows*
[12:10] <rait> can i access it through there?
[12:10] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: nah just short logs :)
[12:11] <rait> well i'll give it a go
[12:11] <podgo> do a lsmod azi
[12:11] <Kengur> hi, how can i mount vfat rw for any user?
[12:11] <rait> thanks for the help loneshadow
[12:11] <KrisWood> I guess no one knows how to get xvid running on here? :(
[12:11] <ScottiNailon> podgo: any ideas why it is not picking up the network?
[12:11] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, in ubuntu check from the menu -  System Administration Networking - paste.ubuntu-nl.org is for anything over 2 lines with an enter
[12:12] <ScottiNailon> errr.
[12:12] <nmsa> I have problems with my sound card, I can't get it working in my new amd kernel 2.6.15-25. how do I know what modules to load ?
[12:12] <LoneShadow> rait: I have not used partition magic in a long time, it might do the resizing, try it if you have the software
[12:13] <ScottiNailon> would it have anything to do with ip6 being there and not ip4?
[12:13] <LoneShadow> rait: if that fails, boot from a linux cd and run parted on /dev/hdb1, and that will let you shrink the parition
[12:13] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, it should show both, are we talking wireless or wired?
[12:14] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: wired but it is not showing ip4 just ip6....
[12:14] <azi`>
[12:14] <ScottiNailon> WORKSTATIOM---> SWITCH -----> ADSL Modem
[12:14] <ScottiNailon> Switch is wireless but I am wired to it.
[12:15] <folk> Hi
[12:15] <mada> hello
[12:15] <mrmist> Hi guys :)
[12:15] <drumline_> how many folks have used GParted to resize an NTFS partition?
[12:15] <mrmist> I'm getting this error-message: " open /dev/snd/seq failed"
[12:15] <mada> drumline_: i haven't but i have read alot about it, what's up?
[12:15] <Healot> i used fdisk... it's devilish
[12:15] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, open a terminal (Applications Accessories Terminal) and issue this command >> sudo dhclient  << please do not use caps in irc - it is considered shouting :-)
[12:15] <drumline_> mada: just curious... i will try it in a few days.
[12:16] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: sorry
[12:16] <drumline_> need some time...
[12:16] <folk> podgo , wanna lick me?
[12:16] <podgo> zogzog
[12:16] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, you did not know before you do know ;-)
[12:16] <mada> drumline_: everything i have heard is that it is an incredible tool and resizes like a pro
[12:16] <mada> folk: lets not be dirty
[12:16] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: yes I tried that... but it didnt do what I needed, it didnt work.
[12:16] <folk> ubuntu is for lamer no?
[12:17] <podgo> can you help me dude folk !
[12:17] <drumline_> folk: who says?
[12:17] <ompaul> no more folk easy
[12:17] <podgo> i have big issue on my F ubuntu :/
[12:17] <KrisWood> Video codec 'XviD' is not handled. You might need to install additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies
[12:17] <KrisWood> :(
[12:18] <Healot> !info libxine-extracodecs
[12:18] <ubotu> libxine-extracodecs: (the xine video/media player library, binary files), section multiverse/libs, is optional. Version: 1.1.1+ubuntu1-2 (dapper), Packaged size: 1148 kB, Installed size: 2976 kB
[12:19] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, so ehh is the router handing out more than one IP?
[12:19] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: you said to sudo dhclient eth0, but that doesnt work...
[12:20] <kane77> i have a problem with totem... it always opens up below the upper panel (the titlebar is under panel) no matter how I leave it.... it's pretty annoying... how can I make it open normally????
[12:20] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, not what I said - what I said was sudo dhclient (I'll accept packets on any interface ;-))
[12:21] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: no it is just handing out one IP, which is for this one workstation
[12:21] <drumline_> ScottiNailon: is it an internal or external address?   does any other computer do it OK?
[12:21] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, then how do you expect to get a connection - turn off the work station turn on ubuntu and if you have bandwidth you have a router config issue
[12:21] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: i am getting sick of rebooting back to linux and then when it doesnt work i gotta reboot to windows to get in irc :(
[12:22] <ScottiNailon> drumline_: internal IP - <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:22] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, one box for all
[12:22] <satempler> how do I set the time from the command line
[12:22] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, I had taken it for two
[12:22] <satempler> my servers time is whaked
[12:22] <Gullstad> how do you send a message to another klient trough SSH?
[12:22] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: I can access internet in M$ WINDOWS, but when I boot linux it wont connect - it doesnt get a IP :(
[12:22] <mada> satempler: is it a PowerPC server?
[12:23] <satempler> mada: no
[12:23] <drumline_> satempler: scotti: does your network adapter show "UP" in caps when you do a "ifconfig" ?
[12:23] <drumline_> ScottiNailon: ^^
[12:23] <mada> satempler: oh .. nvm, i just seem to have time issues with my iBook, and from google research it is apparently a PowerPC thing
[12:23] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: does it matter if it only had ip6 in hosts?
[12:23] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, no that is expected behaviour
[12:23] <filleokus> Hi, do u most to edit some settings file for Apache to make it work on internet, it only works on the lan network now?
[12:24] <mrmist> ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed
[12:24] <satempler> ya
[12:24] <filleokus> My router etc is allright
[12:24] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, how many ethernet cards has it got?
[12:24] <drumline_> filleokus: does your box have a gateway set?
[12:24] <ScottiNailon> drumline & satempler: not sure :( I might have to log a few things and come back, my last log didnt take :(
[12:24] <filleokus> DHCP
[12:24] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: 1
[12:24] <Gullstad> how do you send a message to another klient trough SSH?
[12:24] <filleokus> drumline, DHCP
[12:24] <satempler> ???
[12:25] <drumline_> ScottiNailon: make sure the card is reporting the "UP" state...  if not, 'ifup eth0'
[12:25] <mada> Gullstad: uhmmm... elaborate more on exactly what you are trying to do?
[12:25] <drumline_> sometimes, the card wont start up on boot.
[12:25] <satempler> can some one help me set the time on my server
[12:25] <morphix> hmm..
[12:25] <ScottiNailon> drumline_: thanks I will try that too :)
[12:25] <drumline_> satan: do you have ntpdate ?
[12:25] <mada> satempler: sudo hwclock --set "<time>"
[12:25] <satempler> thanks
[12:26] <ScottiNailon> any other ideas, would it matter about the ip6 thing in hosts?
[12:26] <morphix> hm.
[12:26] <Gullstad> mada: You know the message you get up when you halt, or shutdown. I just want to send a message that shows on the remote machines screen.
[12:26] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, check out this document -> http://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[12:26] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: thanks man :)
[12:26] <mada> Gullstad: ohhh, like an motd?
[12:26] <drumline_> Gullstad: echo "This ship is going down suckas!!" | wall
[12:27] <Gullstad> lets try that :)
[12:27] <kane77> i have a problem with totem... it always opens up below the upper panel (the titlebar is under panel) no matter how I leave it.... it's pretty annoying... how can I make it open normally????
[12:27] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, the only time I have not seen system admin netoworking and clicking on enable not work was with a faulty network card
[12:27] <Gullstad> thanks :)
[12:27] <pom> hello, when my laptop uses battery, the HD spins down frequently, when it spins up, it makes a little beep noise, somebody with the same problem?
[12:27] <mada> Gullstad: np :)
[12:28] <drumline_> Gullstad: welcome.  :)  You might be able to pipe the echo to "shutdown" but it's been a while since I've done that, so check the docs on shutdown to be sure.
[12:28] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: it doesnt feel seem faulty right now :)
[12:28] <transgress> pom what does dmesg say after it happens?
[12:28] <mada> pom: what kind of laptop? ... brand, make, model, etc. (x86, ppc, amd64?)
[12:28] <Gullstad> drumline_: Think its possible whit shutdown -k
[12:28] <pom> mada: dell inspiron 6400
[12:28] <mada> pom: one moment please
[12:28] <aidehua> I'm using a non-GNOME desktop, but would like to load the GTK-theme-settings to make my GTK apps look pretty.  The default is rubbish!  How can I do this?
[12:29] <mathieu_> aidehua: run gnome-settings-daemon
[12:29] <drumline_> Gullstad: actually, no.  It should work without -k
[12:29] <ScottiNailon> ok i am rebooting to play a bit :)
[12:29] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, well we had this card and it would work intermittently and it died but there ya go - and it could be that it does not like talking 100% correctly
[12:29] <pom> transgress: no messages in dmesg
[12:29] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, pring that page first
[12:29] <Goshawk> hi, is it normal that my dvd rw driver is deleting a cdrom form 1:24 (not 1 minute but 1 hour)
[12:29] <drumline_> Gullstad: simply pipe the echo command to shutdown and it should wall everybody and then shutdown according to your shutdown switches
[12:29] <Goshawk> ?
[12:29] <transgress> pom:  dmesg says nothing or nothing that applies?
[12:29] <pom> mada: found some stuff on the forum, but not using acpi is no option for me
[12:29] <aidehua> mathieu_: gnome-settings-daemon undoes a lot of my personal settings -- xset -b, font paths etc.  Is there a simpler way of initialising GTK with a theme?
[12:29] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: pring?
[12:30] <pom> transgress: nothing that applies of course
[12:30] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, print even
[12:30] <ScottiNailon> ahhh
[12:30] <ScottiNailon> ok
[12:30] <mathieu_> aidehua: no idea...that's the way i did it
[12:30] <mrmist> Anyone experienced with ALSA here ??
[12:30] <ScottiNailon> ok
[12:30] <mada> pom: no, you definitely need acpi ...
[12:30] <Healot> mrmist: we don't create ALSA, but it's not hurting if you ask
[12:31] <mrmist> Healot: I can't get it to work
[12:31] <mrmist> I really don't understand the connection between ALSA and JACK
[12:31] <Healot> mrmist: run the sound test yet?
[12:32] <mrmist> Healot: What sound test ?
[12:32] <Healot> btw are you trying to play mp3 or something?
[12:32] <mada> pom: i just did a quick scan of linux-laptop.net and i didn't really see any issue with the hdd under ubuntu on the inspiron 6400 core duo
[12:32] <mirak> anyone tried spiftacity already ?
[12:32] <mrmist> Healot: I'm trying to get a music-program up and running..
[12:32] <jdmpike> I have a question about .Xauthority - whenever I try to add my MAGIC-COOKIE so I can start things on display :1.0, it only lasts for a single session... Is there a way i can make it persistent
[12:32] <Healot> btw are you trying to play mp3 or something?
[12:32] <ytripppy> does anyone have a xbox and runs XBMC?
[12:32] <mrmist> Healot: The sounds in kubuntu works nice
[12:32] <filleokus> Hi, do u most to edit some settings file for Apache to make it work on internet, it only works on the lan network now?
[12:33] <visik7> hi
[12:33] <mrmist> Healot: I'm using Amarok, and it works nice :)
[12:33] <jdmpike> filleokus, you modify the httpd.conf file
[12:33] <filleokus> jdmpike, how?
[12:33] <ytripppy> how can i setup ubuntu to download updates 1am-5am ?
[12:34] <jdmpike> filleokus, check out FAQ on http://www.apache.org and goto the HTTP server link
[12:35] <mada> filleokus: what command did you use to start the server daemon?
[12:35] <filleokus> mada, /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[12:35] <achandra> hello.
[12:35] <filleokus> mada, but this dosent matter or does it?
[12:36] <mada> filleokus: yeah, then you need to edit the httpd.conf file
[12:36] <drumline_> filleokus: does your box have a gateway?
[12:36] <zawa> Can someone please tell me what's the good program for usb camera?
[12:36] <tof> hi guys, is 'dpkg -S /usr/bin/mail' the right command to find which package provide the 'mail' executable??
[12:36] <mada> zawa: web cam or digital?
[12:36] <filleokus> drumline, yes it does, a router
[12:36] <zawa> web cam
[12:36] <drumline_> filleokus: can it access the net?
[12:36] <Healot> zawa: get a compatible camera first :)
[12:36] <filleokus> the router or the box?
[12:36] <drumline_> does it have a real world address or private address?
[12:37] <drumline_> the box
[12:37] <mada> zawa: what cam do you have (make and model)
[12:37] <filleokus> drumline_, private
[12:37] <achandra> There has been probably many discussion about this but after much playing around finally got my bcm4318 wireless driver for Gateway MX7118. If anyone is having issue with this id be glad to help..by the way..bcm4318 fails pretty bad with bcm-fwcutter.
[12:37] <Gimp`> hey, i installed ubuntu and then windows and im unable to boot up windows. anyone know how i can fix the mbr so that windows will boot?
[12:37] <zawa> i can get it going with gnome meeting but it's not very clear.
[12:37] <drumline_> filleokus: ...and you cannot access the http server through the router from the net?
[12:37] <Hobbsee> !tell Gimp` about grub
[12:37] <zawa> I was wondering if there are any better program apart from gnomemeeting
[12:37] <MenZa> !grub
[12:37] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[12:37] <Gimp`> grub doesnt fix it
[12:38] <filleokus> drumline, exactly,via the internal ip it works but not trough the net
[12:38] <MenZa> Hobbsee: you're too fast :\
[12:38] <Hobbsee> :P
[12:38] <Remy> hey, anyone gotten an iriver working on ubuntu before ?
[12:38] <Gimp`> ive used grub but i get an error
[12:38] <filleokus> Remy, yes
[12:38] <filleokus> ifp-line
[12:38] <filleokus> check that out
[12:38] <mada> achandra: it works like a freaking champ on my iBookG4 airport extreme card, i know its not the same chipset, but pretty much the same hack job to make it work
[12:38] <Gimp`> root (hd 0,0)
[12:38] <Gimp`> Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
[12:38] <Gimp`> chainloader +1
[12:38] <Gimp`> then it just hangs there
[12:38] <Remy> filleokus - man ifp-line ?
[12:38] <drumline_> filleokus: check your port forwards on the router... what kind of router?
[12:38] <filleokus> Remy, no google
[12:38] <Remy> k
[12:39] <zawa> mada, any ideas?
[12:39] <filleokus> drumline, they are right i think there are something in the apache settings
[12:39] <drumline_> filleokus: another thing... it's a bad idea to run internet-facing servers on an internal network.
[12:39] <filleokus> mada says that i should edit httpd.conf file
[12:39] <filleokus> but how
[12:39] <mada> zawa: not that i know of ... but then again i haven't really done alot of checking around .... lemme look something up real fast
[12:39] <Gimp`> anyone have any ideas on how to fix my mbr? :P
[12:39] <mrmist> http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/716193
[12:39] <filleokus> drumline, yes sure, but i have to, it is just like a small private server :D
[12:39] <achandra> mada: I literally tried all inf files from gateway and other vendors and their sys files....it failed miserabbly until i used an cer developed driver for bcm4318 64 bit with ndis...then it worked great..
[12:39] <filleokus> nothing serious
[12:40] <drumline_> filleokus: shutdown the http server...  config ssh to run on port 80...  then try to connect from the net...
[12:40] <mada> filleokus: follow the apache link that jdm gave you earlier and edit it with the text editor of your choice
[12:40] <achandra> mada: the deb installer in ubuntu wiki now has "message 4318 detected..this is known to have issues with cutter"
[12:40] <filleokus> mada, i cant find anything there
[12:40] <drumline_> filleokus: doesn't matter...  if you run an internet-facing server on a standard port, YOU WILL be swept by a scanner looking to exploit you .
[12:40] <CrippsFX> achandra, you have a working 64 bit bcm4318 working?
[12:40] <mada> achandra: ohhh yeah, thats the one that ships with amd64, a tad different ... sorry, i was thinking fwcutter ... yeah, bcmcutter sucks
[12:41] <zawa> mada,  okay thanks.
[12:41] <filleokus> drumline, ok, but one thing first
[12:41] <mada> achandra: i would say write a tutorial and post it in the forums for easy viewing
[12:41] <achandra> mada: cool...where do I post up...do have the link?
[12:42] <mada> zawa: nope, poking around the forums breifly, it seems gnomemeeting is the best there is
[12:42] <tof> hello, how can I find to which package belong 'mail' ? (dpkg -S /usr/bin/mail does nothing)
[12:42] <mrmist> Healot: http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/716193
[12:42] <Anderson> What is the command to view installed packages?
[12:43] <zawa> mada, okay thanks,.  no worries. cheers.
[12:43] <tof> Anderson, dpkg -l
[12:43] <Anderson> THANK YOU!
[12:43] <mada> achandra: www.ubuntuforums.org
[12:43] <CrippsFX> achandra, wow. that made me look like I don't speak english. What I *meant* to say is: do you have a bcm4318 working on a 64 bit install?
[12:43] <Anderson> I tried to figure that out for about an hour yesterday
[12:43] <PS> can someone help me with a grub q.  i've moved my root partition, how do i get grub-install to take note of this permanently?  at the moment grub creates a menu.lst with the wrong root locations?
[12:43] <mada> achandra: i'm sure someone will love that the instructions are posted, just as i did when i went to get my iBooks airport extreme card working
[12:43] <stefg> Hmm, the searchbar in firefox isn't 'localized'. Searching e.g. for a wikipedia entry always looks in the english wikipedia, not the germen (in my case).  How do I change that?
[12:44] <achandra> CrippsFX: I got it working with NDIS
[12:44] <achandra> does that still count??
[12:44] <CrippsFX> achandra, ah. dang.
[12:44] <achandra> lol
[12:44] <CrippsFX> ;)
[12:44] <tof> Anderson, once you know it, you don't forget it :-) You can do "dpkg -l "*xserver*" if you want to search for some pattern
[12:44] <drumline_> PS: if you want to mess with grub, you'll need to read a how-to...
[12:44] <drumline_> It's not difficult, but it's not easy either...
[12:44] <CrippsFX> achandra, I've got mine working sporradically on ndis. and bcm43xx ... yish.
[12:44] <BockBilbo> hey there
[12:44] <croftyboy_31> hi , i am trying to share a printer connected on my windows 2000 machine over a network to this ubuntu 5.02 machine , having problems with smbclient
[12:44] <BockBilbo> :S
[12:45] <BockBilbo> perhaps i had a grub question
[12:45] <achandra> CrippsFX: it was a bitch...Im on now with it..and it is functioning
[12:45] <PS> drumline_ ok, i was trying to free up some time so i can catch up with the sunday paper rather than geeking it up on the web :-)
[12:45] <CrippsFX> achandra, without any weird behaviour?
[12:45] <mada> croftyboy_31: upgrade to dapper... then you shouldn't have any problems .... i think 5.02 either stopped being supported or has old packages
[12:46] <BockBilbo> i have installed vista on a partition on my laptop and it has remove grub from the mrb... ive tried to recover grub using grub-install with a previous chroot command for my ubuntu partition and it did not work, neither a manual grub shell configuration
[12:46] <mada> croftyboy_31: ooooor, lemme go check something and i will get back to you
[12:46] <smacky_wolf> How do I get my kernel source? Is it in apt? If not, what do I do to get it?
[12:46] <croftyboy_31> thank mada
[12:46] <BockBilbo> any of you had this problem before?
[12:46] <achandra> CrippsFX: Im using it in conjunction with NetworkManager and WPAsupplicant and so far so good.
[12:46] <tof> oh boys, dpkg -S works. I only had to be patient so that the result shows up... I have to use slow computers from times to times...
[12:46] <achandra> CrippsFX: and that is WPA-personal with Tkip that is
[12:46] <Seveas> smacky_wolf, apt-get install linux-sourc-2.6.15
[12:46] <drumline_> PS: yeah...  I understand...  moving partitions requires a little finesse...   there might be a way to run a grub config when you have the OS running...   do a little searching along that angle...
[12:46] <croftyboy_31> mada i would rather keep this version now after spending months getting it all working with thunderbird etc
[12:47] <filleokus> jdmpike, can u please give me a hint, i dont find any info there :(
[12:47] <achandra> CrippsFX:what weird oddities are you witnessing?
[12:47] <smacky_wolf> Seveas, thanks =3
[12:47] <drumline_> PS: forums will likely have an angle for you..
[12:47] <drumline_> PS: you're definitely not the first guy to do this..
[12:47] <mada> croftyboy_31: ok, then i will need a few minutes
[12:48] <PS> drumlin_, no i know, thanks
[12:48] <croftyboy_31> ok
[12:48] <ytripppy> how can i setup ubuntu to download updates 1am-5am ?

[12:50] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, just try it, it is how we have done over 10k worth of files and whatever
[12:50] <CrippsFX> achandra, I'll pm you my gmail address?

[12:52] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15898
[12:52] <achandra> yep
[12:52] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: is that what you needed?
[12:53] <drumline_> ytripppy: sucka...   I asked you a question...
[12:54] <mada> lin: it actually just popped back up with the latest update ... it was gone for a release
[12:55] <drumline_> ytripppy: don't ask a question and then ignore replies...
[12:55] <mada> ytripppy: chron
[12:55] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: did you get that link ?

[12:55] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, yes - please I am writing a comment
[12:55] <ScottiNailon> thanks
[12:56] <mada> ytripppy: cron* .... http://www.scrounge.org/linux/cron.html
[12:56] <pom> mada: I am back, do you have find something about the hd spinoff stuff?
[12:56] <drumline_> ytripppy needs to speak up a bit before I can help him.. :(
[12:57] <ytripppy> sorry. very stoned.
[12:57] <achandra> lol
[12:57] <ytripppy> chron?
[12:57] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, next suggestion is >>sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> << (assuming that is your ip at this time) and see if you can do this, in a terminal >> ping <IP_ADDRESS> << if that works then you have network connection, have you a live CD?
[12:57] <mada> pom: lol, yeah i posted a couple links a while ago ... or atleast i thought i did, but anyways ... i searched some ubuntu on dell inspiron 6400 pages and nobody reported the problem, i might contact dell and don't mention that its running linux, i bet they replace the drive
[12:58] <drumline_> ytripppy: in that case, come back when you're not stoned...  You're wasting my time.
[12:58] <mada> ytripppy: cron* -->  http://www.scrounge.org/linux/cron.html
[12:58] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: I have a CD, I just installed from it. But when I rebooted into the HDD system it didnt network :(
[12:59] <pom> mada: I'm 99% sure that it will be the same when they replace it
[12:59] <cjk> hi, what the best way to configure a pptp vpn. is there any nice gui tool?
[12:59] <pom> since it doesn't make that sound in winxp
[12:59] <achandra> OH YEAH.....a question for you guys....i know in some other distros you can "alias" an ethernet interface and change the order it comes up and to which ehternet driver you want etc..etc.. but all i could find is the /etc/network/interfaces..is there a slick way of manually editing all that stuff?and id use it for such things as ethernet bonding etc...
[12:59] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, so you can check the values of the "networking files I asked you to print out eariler" - frankly if that does not work then you have a bad card
[12:59] <pom> mada: please take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86025&page=2&highlight=dell+beep
[01:00] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, regardless of what windows kludges to get around it
[01:00] <mada> pom: just a moment, i am reading ...
[01:00] <dixie> hi guys
[01:00] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, ethernet has been alive in unix and linux since the dawn of time ;-) so I do point a very stern finger at the networking card
[01:01] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: so if all else fails I just boot into the LIVE CD and check the network value? what file do i check for the values?
[01:01] <aLPHa_LeaK> oi!
[01:01] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, check out this document -> http://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html   <--- it tells lots
[01:01] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, print it and keep it at your side
[01:01] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: yes I understand, although when I boot from the CDROM the network works, so I beleive that it si ACTUALLY a config prob.
[01:01] <drumline_> when in doubt, just toss another network card in there and try it....
[01:02] <ompaul> mitjab, DON'T use auto away messages like that in this channel - thanks
[01:02] <pom> mada: the spinoff is controlled by laptop-mode here, it's 5 seconds
[01:02] <ScottiNailon> I have printed it.
[01:02] <drumline_> you can get them super cheap
[01:02] <mada> pom: looks like you need to read this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=21232
[01:02] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: ok i am going to reboot and try again...
[01:02] <ompaul> go for it
[01:02] <mada> pom: that apears to be peoples fix, also the post by canard says he fixed it
[01:02] <ScottiNailon> otherwise I will give up tonight....
[01:03] <ScottiNailon> see yah :)
[01:03] <pom> mada: not acpi=off ?
[01:03] <ScottiNailon> ompaul: if there is a way to change to ipv4 how owuld I do it?

[01:04] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, you are not getting it at all, if a new install it will try to do both
[01:04] <mada> i'll brb ....
[01:04] <ompaul> ScottiNailon, as long as you have done nothing to with the base install then it should work
[01:04] <pom> mada: ro pci=bios idle=halt acpi_sleep=s3_bios quiet splash <- so which will do the trick?
[01:05] <caHEk>   ?
[01:06] <ompaul> caHEk, in english please
[01:06] <caHEk> hello
[01:06] <drumline_> boodah
[01:06] <BockBilbo> quit
[01:06] <drumline_> hello
[01:06] <caHEk> how ca i install Nvidia driver to Unbuntu
[01:06] <ompaul> !nvidia
[01:06] <ubotu> well, nvidia is a graphics card manufacturer. For help about installing the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu, you can visit the Ubuntu WIki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:06] <folkert> hello people, after last nigth and the (eh my) search after BASH-ing i have to say, my head is bashed
[01:07] <drumline_> you read the bash man page?  :)
[01:07] <pom> mada: the pci=bios idle=halt acpi_sleep=s3_bios part
[01:07] <pom> mada: thx for help
[01:07] <folkert> yes i did and loads of other stuff on bashing
[01:07] <caHEk> i just downloaded last driver from Nvidia
[01:07] <caHEk> *.run extension
[01:07] <folkert> that's why my head zooms somtehing like bashhhhhh
[01:08] <folkert> ;)
[01:08] <drumline_> nice...  bash is an awesome shell
[01:08] <mada> pom: no prob, anytime
[01:08] <drumline_> I hear zsh is superior, but I haven't played with it much.
[01:08] <caHEk> how can i install this driver to Unbuntu 5.04
[01:08] <ompaul> caHEk, please check the message from ubotu - it tells you in detail we could not do in irc how to install and configure nvidia
[01:08] <folkert> sure is, and will get grip on it but i'm a starter with all this lower level stuff
[01:09] <drumline_> well... knowing how to do shell work will make linux heaps easier for you to get around in...
[01:09] <folkert> so if anybody have a pointer or url to a 'dummy only' page about bash i will be pleased
[01:09] <mada> caHEk: if you run ubuntu, there is no reason to download the .run from nvidia's website ... just sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[01:10] <folkert> yes indeed, that why i accept the sleepless nights ;)
[01:10] <ompaul> caHEk, I strongly suggest you get dapper drake 6.06 that is so different to the current distribution and it is not supported as and from October this year, on the other hand 6.06 is supported for the next three years on the desktop
[01:10] <drumline_> !bash
[01:10] <ubotu> For a list of basic commands, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands
[01:10] <omz_zepher> Greetings, people.
[01:10] <drumline_> folkert: i'm certain that hell is already frozen over if google doesn't have at least 5 basic bash pages that are actuall helpful.
[01:10] <mada> hello omz_zepher
[01:10] <caHEk> is 6.06 better ?
[01:11] <drumline_> caHEk: that's the idea
[01:11] <folkert> yes google is very helpfull sofar
[01:11] <Frogzoo> caHEk: mostly, yes
[01:11] <pom> mada: should I make contact with dell technical support?
[01:11] <achandra> coming from suse world...i must say the documentation in the Ubuntu world is very very impressive.
[01:11] <pom> mada: and do I have to say it's a linux issue or not?
[01:11] <mada> ompaul: i thought dapper was supported for the next 5 years ... or is that just the server side?
[01:11] <ompaul> server
[01:11] <pom> anyway I will test the boot parameters first
[01:11] <omz_zepher> I`m wondering if anybody can help me. I just downloaded and burned the ubuntu live cd and when I boot it the screen goes black after a while and the monitor acts like it is suspended, asin the lights are saying there is no video feed.
[01:12] <mada> pom: if you talk to dell, don't mention linux ... it might void your warranty, but just be like "my hdd is causing beeping noises" and they should replace it, in theory
[01:12] <drumline_> omz_zepher: check the forums for that one...
[01:12] <folkert> linuxcommand.org helps a lot too
[01:12] <omz_zepher> ok, i`ll try
[01:12] <furriner> what is the root password on the latest ubuntu? when I "su" it asks for a password, blank doesn't work, my user password doesn't work, I need root access
[01:13] <ompaul> !root
[01:13] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[01:13] <ompaul> furriner, read that url from ubotu ;-)
[01:13] <furriner> ok
[01:13] <IsDis4Me> hello
[01:13] <achandra> omz_zepher: likely an X11 issue.
[01:13] <pradeep> Fuhi IsDis4Me
[01:13] <Adium> furriner, sudo or sudo su and user passwd
[01:13] <mada> omz_zepher: sounds like an X issue, boot the live cd again and if that happens try "ctrl+atl+F1" and see if you get a command line interface and then get back to me
[01:13] <IsDis4Me> Is there a good file sharing program for Linux?  i am operationally defining good as anything better than that P.O.S. Limewire!
[01:13] <drumline_> !squareroot

[01:13] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me.  Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, drumline_
[01:14] <ompaul> drumline_, please stop playing with the bot
[01:14] <omz_zepher> What should i search for?
[01:14] <mada> drumline_: what kind of bot is ubotu? (eggdrop, pybot, etc.)
[01:15] <drumline_> dunno...
[01:15] <ompaul> !bootoptions
[01:15] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions not the full complement of boot options but it is some of them
[01:15] <Seveas> mada, the curent ubotu is a blootbot
[01:15] <Seveas> but won't stay around for long
[01:15] <ompaul> omz_zepher,  read that url from ubotu ;-)
[01:15] <mada> Seveas: why not?
[01:15] <Hobbsee> mada: it's being destryed
[01:15] <Seveas> mada, there's a better replacment being buit
[01:15] <ompaul> it is going to be replaced - we have a new all powerful bot
[01:16] <ompaul> or something
[01:16] <mada> Seveas: interesting ... what language is it written in?
[01:16] <Seveas> python/supybot
[01:16] <mada> cool cool
[01:16] <ompaul> ubotu, will not be fit to see its code - it would not be able to parse it anyway
[01:16] <ubotu> ompaul: I'm sorry, i don't know what you're talking about
[01:16] <Adanadar> Hi, I need some help with partitioning. I have a 20 gig hard disk that I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto, and leave a 5gig chunk as fat32 so that I can move files between ubuntu and xp. I'm having a nightmare with the manual edit partition table. Can anyone help?

[01:17] <Adanadar> 256 ram
[01:17] <ompaul> omz_zepher, install lynx and read that url I gave
[01:18] <Adanadar> 15 gig ubuntu and 5 gig as fat32 is my ideal aim

[01:18] <mada> Adanadar: ok, heres what i would recommend, 5gb linux .. 5gb windows, 1gb swab ... the rest fat32 data
[01:18] <drasko> hi all. I have problems with broken pipes when want to install/remove some packages. How to solve this?  I have problems with broken pipes when want to install/remove some packages. How to solve this? Here is wha I pasted: http://pastebin.com/716229
[01:21] <killaz> ... the application might not support your system architecture.!
[01:21] <cappiz> is there a new app for apt-setup?
[01:21] <mitjab> i will not
[01:21] <mada> Adanadar ^ ... accidentally wrote "maddler" ... tab completion failed me
[01:21] <killaz> how's that possible?
[01:22] <ompaul> Seveas, that is called a double whammy
[01:22] <Seveas> ompaul, no, it's called a stupid loser, not the first ban on its name
[01:22] <ompaul> ahh
[01:22] <ompaul> noted
[01:22] <mada> Adanadar: so i would say 5gb ubuntu, 5gb winXP, 1gb swap, 9gb fat32 data ... but that is just my suggestiong ... you could make the ubuntu 9gb and just keep the fat32 at 5gb ... your hdd, your choice
[01:22] <Adanadar> mada: I don't want any windows on this thing
[01:22] <mada> Adanadar: huh? i thought you said you were dual booting?
[01:23] <ompaul> !install
[01:23] <ubotu> Installing Ubuntu? See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation Installing software on Ubuntu? See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingSoftware
[01:23] <Adanadar> I want just ubuntu, but with a 5gig chunk of fat32 for moving files onto another computer that will probably run xp
[01:23] <caHEk> where can i find Russian Unbuntu IRC cannel?
[01:23] <Adanadar> nope
[01:23] <Adanadar> not dual booting
[01:23] <ompaul> !ru
[01:23] <ubotu> Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke. # russian users please try #ubuntu-ru, there you may get more help
[01:23] <cappiz> anyone?
[01:23] <mada> Adanadar: your original post said something about XP ....?
[01:23] <caHEk> THX
[01:23] <killaz> ompaul: is that for me? I already added all the repositories!
[01:23] <Adanadar> yes it did
[01:24] <reiki> Adanadar, you going to simply have another computer connect to a network share to move files?
[01:24] <ompaul> killaz, no
[01:24] <Adanadar> but I said for I needed the fat32 for shifting stuff onto XP if needs be
[01:24] <Adanadar> and vice versa
[01:24] <mada> Adanadar: anyways ... if it is going to be a linux only, you don't need to manually edit partitions nor do you need a fat32 partition ... it would just be a waste of hdd space ... ext3, reiserfs, xfs, etc. are all superior to fat32
[01:24] <Adanadar> oh man, that sentence made me seem foreign
[01:24] <ompaul> Adanadar, so you don't have to - you can set up a samba server once installed and allow access to xp to it
[01:24] <mada> Adanadar: ooohhhh ok
[01:25] <killaz> ok... so nobody know what could be causing the problem installing the X-chat Gnome IRC application?
[01:25] <Adanadar> samba you say?
[01:25] <Xorph> killaz, what is the problem?
[01:25] <mada> Adanadar: well, there are clients for XP to access linux partitions ... i would say, keep the better file system, and just download some freeware on the potential XP for access to files
[01:25] <ompaul> Adanadar, I do say samba
[01:26] <Adanadar> hehe
[01:26] <Adanadar> ok
[01:26] <mada> Adanadar: or samba, which ever works better ... if it will be net connected, then yes ... samba ftw
[01:26] <reiki> samba works great here. My machine is Ubuntu only... all others (kids and wife) are still on XP. We can move files around at will over the network
[01:26] <killaz> Xorph: installing the app using the GUI I get this: 'xchat-gnome' is not available in any software channel. The application might not support your system architecture
[01:26] <gyro54> Anyone help on a network printing problem?
[01:26] <mada> gyro54: yo
[01:26] <Adanadar> brilliant, thank you all, saved lots of hassle
[01:26] <Xorph> got x64 system?
[01:26] <mada> gyro54: trying to share with a windows system?
[01:27] <mada> Xorph: i do ... got 2 of em' .... dual opteron server running debian, and a athlon64 desktop running ubtuntu dapper ... whats up?
[01:27] <killaz> Xorph: ?? is that a very strange error?
[01:28] <gyro54> I have 1 computer conected to a router with a printer attached. How do I set up my cupsd.conf file? as a server or a client?
[01:28] <mada> Xorph: nvm, thought that was a general question ....
[01:28] <killaz> Xorph: no a i386 cpu
[01:28] <jme__> q. i have  a friend with window on a 75gbyte partition. he would like to install ubuntu on 10bgyte of this disk and keep 65gbyte for window. so it requires to repartion to disk and likely other stuff. is there a guide step by step for this ?
[01:28] <Xorph> killaz, i'd never get an error like this
[01:29] <mada> ok, way past my bed time ...
[01:29] <Xorph> no problem, mada
[01:29] <killaz> Xorph: oh well it's me again...
[01:29] <gyro54> mada which file?
[01:29] <killaz> Xorph: I have like a special gift for producing the strangest error
[01:29] <Xorph> do you kompile yourself or do you try to get it via apt-get?
[01:29] <killaz> errors*
[01:30] <Xorph> :D
[01:30] <killaz> nope just using the GUI: Applications -> Add/Remove...
[01:30] <Xorph> hmmm
[01:30] <killaz> I can use apt-get but I want to understand the problem..
[01:30] <Xorph> may try to compile it yourself...
[01:31] <mada> gyro54: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO-9.html <---good networking howto, if that doesn't help or doesn't cater to your needs, check out ... http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html to see if they have a tutorial to match your needs
[01:31] <Xorph> you can get the sources at gnomefiles.org

[01:31] <mada> it is sleepy time ... night night all
[01:31] <root_> #join ubuntu-cn
[01:31] <gyro54> mada:  thanks
[01:32] <killaz> that's the easy solution... it's not a good thing to neglect this. It's my first installation on my fresh Ubuntu system
[01:32] <root_> #join ubuntu-zh
[01:32] <ompaul> imbrandon, I was going to say that that bug needs info - but given the users "history" I did not bother
[01:32] <killaz> and already such an error....
[01:32] <ompaul> imbrandon, sad but true
[01:32] <imbrandon> he
[01:33] <imbrandon> true
[01:33] <imbrandon> but someone needed to i think
[01:33] <imbrandon> i hate trolls
[01:33] <thingy> hmm...seems that flashplugin-nonfree is borked. Can't run the update-flashplugin postinst script as upstream has changed stuff. bah!
[01:34] <imbrandon> ompaul, and on the -devel list no doubt ;)
[01:34] <imbrandon> err wait that was on sounder , lol
[01:35] <imbrandon> whoops lol
[01:35] <fightingfriends> can Impress open .ppt files?
[01:35] <ompaul> yeap
[01:35] <imbrandon> yup
[01:35] <fightingfriends> does it have good options for printing?
[01:35] <fightingfriends> flexible options?
[01:35] <ompaul> fightingfriends, it can, you need to check them out
[01:35] <fightingfriends> ok, sure, I'll download it now
[01:35] <brozz87> good day !
[01:36] <imbrandon> fightingfriends, should ( depends on the printer alot ) just try it
[01:36] <fightingfriends> ok cool
[01:36] <brozz87> i'm a ubuntu member
[01:36] <ompaul> fightingfriends, you can (A) install ubuntu or (B) install OO for winSomethingGoesHere
[01:36] <imbrandon> hello brozz87
[01:36] <fightingfriends> I got sick of PowerPoint's huge amount of whitespace
[01:36] <brozz87> ^__^
[01:36] <killaz> omg all the applications give me the same error: '########' is not available in any software channel.The application might not support your system architecture.
[01:37] <killaz> this is BAD!
[01:39] <killaz> google search showed me some hits of other ppl with this problem too....
[01:39] <CaptainMorgan> does Matlab run on LInux or is there a similar app?
[01:40] <killaz> CaptainMorgan: there is a linux flavour for matlab..
[01:40] <killaz> CaptainMorgan: go to mathworks.com
[01:41] <pequatre> hi. i have a question regarding bash: if, say, i create a function called test which return 0 if everythong's ok and 1 otherwise, and i'd like to test that in a "while" loop , what would be the correct syntax ? "while (test !=0 ); do : done " doesn't work :(
[01:41] <killaz> bah ..... This is not cool..
[01:41] <Toge> hello
[01:42] <Toge> is it possible to update new kernel with aptitude?
[01:42] <pequatre> i'd like my script to call test repeatedly until test=0
[01:43] <pequatre> ok problem solved.
[01:44] <The3055> Hi
[01:44] <axisme> hm is there a way to have ubuntu auto detect and mount partitions?
[01:44] <drumline_> yep...  I forgot the way though...  it's one of the gnome packages...
[01:44] <drumline_> check the forums..
[01:44] <ompaul> axisme, that is done by having entries in /etc/fstab
[01:45] <drumline_> ompaul: autodetect?   dun think so
[01:45] <smacky_wolf> *kismet
[01:45] <axisme> well i deleted my windows partition and formatted it with ext3 to use as storage
[01:45] <brozz87> i'm italian and i don speak english very well...sorry for my bad english :)
[01:45] <brozz87> i have a question !!!
[01:45] <axisme> but ubuntu seems to think the window one is still there and im not sure how to change it
[01:46] <ompaul> !winfstab
[01:46] <ubotu> an NTFS partition in fstab should look like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs user,umask=0222 0 0
[01:46] <drumline_> axisme: change the file system entry in fstab
[01:46] <omz_zepher> Ok. got it to work, i changed the xorg.conf.. changed the vesa driver to NV, now it works
[01:46] <bernd> de
[01:46] <ompaul> axisme,  just dupe one of the other ext3 lines and it will be sorted for you when you next reboot
[01:47] <drumline_> ompaul: umm...  you're sure about that?
[01:47] <dabbler> what is the difference between 'sudo -i' and 'sudo su' ........ thx
[01:47] <drumline_> axisme: change the file system type to ext3
[01:47] <fiveiron> http://reverendted.wordpress.com/2006/06/17/show-me-that-new-gnome-main-menu/
[01:47] <Hal9000> how much space is required for a standard ubuntu installation?
[01:47] <drumline_> 1-2 gigs...  depending on goodies
[01:47] <axisme> ok, and then reboot?
[01:48] <Hal9000> ok
[01:48] <Hal9000> thanks
[01:48] <ompaul> drumline_, pretty sure it should like like axisme : /dev/hdLetterNumber       /YourEntryHere           ext3    defaults        0       2
[01:48] <drumline_> yeah...   you have a mount point for it?
[01:48] <axisme> ah got it
[01:48] <IsDis4Me> greetings Ubuntu using friends
[01:48] <axisme> didn't need to reboot
[01:48] <axisme> thanks
[01:48] <IsDis4Me> I have discovered that Limewire is worthless
[01:48] <IsDis4Me> but otherall I have found my ubuntu experience quite pleasant
[01:48] <ompaul> !frostwire
[01:48] <drumline_> ompaul: oh...  you said "dupe" which I take as "literally duplicate" which would cause the machine to fail on boot.
[01:48] <ubotu> it has been said that frostwire is a free peer-to-peer application that runs on the Gnutella network. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrostWire
[01:49] <ompaul> drumline_, actually your right - I need to edit my brain a little
[01:49] <drumline_> P2P is evil
[01:49] <dapperneil> !wine
[01:49] <ubotu> Wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on linux.  see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine for more info.
[01:50] <ompaul> drumline_, no bittorrent is how I share lots of ubuntu and debian - other uses of it are to put it politely dubious
[01:50] <axisme> hmm , /dev/sda2       /media/sda2     ext3    defaults        0       0
[01:50] <axisme> what do i change to have write permission?
[01:50] <xorph> drumline, no, evil things shared via p2p are evil ;)
[01:50] <drumline_> EFF was talking about protecting the rights of people to share files...   problem is that 99.9% of all files shared are copyrighted...   but EFF didn't even want increased abilities to find the people who are sharing...
[01:50] <IsDis4Me> huzzah
[01:51] <IsDis4Me> Damn you guys are good
[01:51] <idoru_> hello, i need unrar, but whenever i do apt-get install unrar it says it can't find it.. al though i have all repositories addedd? wat gives?
[01:51] <ompaul> axisme, the ownershop of the directory "sda2" in media
[01:51] <IsDis4Me> you have all of your answered pre written in a bot :)
[01:51] <ompaul> axisme, the ownership of the directory "sda2" in media that is one way
[01:51] <CaptainMorgan> thanks killaz_ any similar apps available with LInux tho?
[01:51] <drumline_> it's cool to share linux...  but sheesh..  there are too many organizations protecting the rights of people to steal.
[01:51] <jrib> idoru_: can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and give us a link please?
[01:52] <idoru_> jrib: sure
[01:52] <axisme> thanks, ompaul
[01:52] <drumline_> niter folks
[01:52] <IsDis4Me> HOLY CRAP DUDE, Frostwire is awesome it opens a lot faster than Limewire and is identical in quality functionality
[01:53] <ompaul> IsDis4Me, easy on the caps and language thanks
[01:53] <partsguy> if I have a fat32 and a NTFS partition that I want to have an Icon for in the computer "folder" in gnome do I have to make a link point to the '/mnt/xpdisk'????
[01:53] <Kibou> ompaul: rofl
[01:54] <IsDis4Me> I apologize
[01:54] <idoru_> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15900
[01:54] <IsDis4Me> I am exceedingly new to all of this
[01:54] <irvin> !tell idoru_ about rar
[01:54] <IsDis4Me> I was a  windows user up until last week
[01:54] <ompaul> IsDis4Me, you did not know
[01:54] <IsDis4Me> I am stunned that people still use Limewire with all of its constant comercial nagging for upgrades when there is frostwire
[01:54] <The3055> for my fire wall  comment desactiver le fire wall our le port 6881 ?

[01:55] <jrib> idoru_: you are actually missing the dapper multiverse repository, are you comfortable editing your sources.list?
[01:55] <idoru_> jrib: i always edit it manually
[01:56] <jrib> idoru_: k, just add " multiverse" to the end of lines 16,17, 31, and 32
[01:56] <idoru_> jrib: why am i missing the dapper multiverse repo, it was there before and i didn't uncomment it or anything
[01:56] <idoru_> jrib: ok thanks
[01:56] <jrib> idoru_: you only have the dapper-backports multiverse not dapper multiverse it seems
[01:57] <sloncho> hi. xubuntu 6.06 + gdm. how to enable automatic login for a user? I tried trough settings, but it does not help
[01:57] <xorph> get a sources.list at www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[01:57] <xorph> works fine :)
[01:57] <ompaul> sloncho, don't think it is available, have you checked #xubuntu?
[01:58] <MetaMorfoziS> is there any benchmarking tool that tests the kernel? so if i have two kernels, i run this with both, and it spell me what kernel is the best...?!
[01:59] <sloncho> ompaul: there all sleep :). at least no conversation at all
[01:59] <killaz_> CaptainMorgan: uhm I remember that a college of mine was using a linux version of matlab....
[01:59] <killaz_> it was written in python...
[02:00] <ompaul> sloncho, I found last evening that 6.06 would not let it happen for a user
[02:00] <protocol2> is there a reason why I cant record from audio recorder?
[02:00] <ompaul> sloncho, ubuntu 6.06 that is
[02:00] <rixxon> what is "hint" and "saddr" in irlmp discovery log?
[02:00] <sloncho> ompaul, so is this a bug, or a feature :)
[02:00] <protocol2> i can hear myself when I speak into the mic to test it...but I cant record from it
[02:00] <ompaul> protocol2, muted mike in alsamixer or kmix
[02:00] <ompaul> sloncho, both
[02:01] <protocol2> ompaul, thats no the gui interface eh
[02:01] <sloncho> ompaul, is it only for dgm, or kdm as well?
[02:01] <ompaul> protocol2, install kmix it tends to "play" better
[02:01] <protocol2> ok
[02:01] <idoru_> jrib: thanks for your help
[02:01] <sloncho> ompauls - i mean gdm vs. kdm
[02:02] <ompaul> sloncho, I do not see any of my machines with kdm nope they are all ... GDM
[02:02] <killaz_> uhm guys I read the howto install the nvidia drivers on mys system (not a legacy one) but then the X server couldnt restart after a Ctrl+Alt+Backspace .. is the howto on the Wiki ok?

[02:06] <killaz_> uXp: GeForce2 MX/MX 400
[02:07] <sloncho> bimberi: that's how i tried. hmmm, the strange thing is, that it does not show the user I want to enable login for. the user exists, i'm logged in as him, but it is not shown in the dropdown box. I created this user in terminal
[02:08] <killaz_> uXp: when I ran the command: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable I got a MD5Sum check issue
[02:08] <PZico> is there netboot image for 6.06 LTS ?
[02:08] <protocol2> ompaul, in my alsamixer is says my mic is off

[02:08] <killaz_> after resolving that and typing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace the X server didnt restart
[02:08] <protocol2> what key do i use to turn it on?
[02:08] <uXp> killaz_:  the sudo get install?
[02:09] <killaz_> uXp: huh the sudo get install? no I followed the howToInstallNividiaBinary on the Wiki...
[02:09] <ompaul> protocol2, M
[02:09] <bimberi> sloncho: hm, kk.  I'm not sure about that.  Unless it only lists users with Gnome session as default - doubt it though
[02:09] <ompaul> protocol2, m actually
[02:09] <uXp> hmm, half the stuff on there don't even work, i had to reinstall 10 times tried like most of them
[02:10] <bimberi> ubotu tell PZico about netboot

[02:10] <harry> whats the equivalent anti virus of norton antivirus in linux??
[02:10] <bimberi> harry: i hear clamav is quite good
[02:10] <omz_zepher> So what is the power of ubunto over other distro`s, say like debian?
[02:10] <sloncho> bimberi - looks like it shows users with ids >= 1000, and this user was created with uid 114
[02:10] <alexk> harry, I gues one should check clamav
[02:10] <uXp> killaz
[02:10] <harry> bimberi? is it a freeware??
[02:10] <bimberi> sloncho: ah
[02:11] <uXp> killaz_:  go to channle #ubuntu-xgl  ill help you there
[02:11] <killaz_> uXp: maye I've chosen the wrong linux-restricted-modules
[02:11] <killaz_> uXp: ok...
[02:11] <protocol2> ompaul, im trying to record with sound recorder and its not doing it
[02:11] <sloncho> bimberi: so du you know where the dgmsetup stores the user to login auto? I can change in the file, if I knew which one
[02:11] <bimberi> harry: it's free software (as in freedom) and in price too :)
[02:11] <protocol2> I can hear myself over the mic too
[02:11] <ompaul> protocol2, try audicity

[02:12] <harry> bimberi: how do i download it. is it sudo apt-get install clamav??
[02:12] <bimberi> sloncho: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf ?

[02:13] <matthew_w> Hey, I need some help diagnosing a problem with ubuntu, as well as my dual booted windows installation.
[02:13] <matthew_w> Here goes:
[02:13] <harry> bimberi: its already enabled
[02:14] <matthew_w> Occassionally on Ubuntu, and 100% of the time on windows when I try to play a game (any game) the computer completely quits.  100% quits.  Not just crashing, but totally locks without return.
