[00:00] <jimmygoon> Does anyone have any tips for synchronization?
[00:00] <Brolx> Jack_Sparrow: Oh, I did that myself when the computer said that I should. But does that explain why the Firefox browser keeps disappearing?
[00:00] <Flare183> !palm
[00:00] <ubotu> A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB
[00:00] <andre_> Jack_Sparrow: I'm not sure that my partition is recognised...
[00:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Brolx: No it should not be the cause.. It looks like a fairly clean install.
[00:00] <d10b> is there a shell scripting room?
[00:00] <wols_> d10b: #bash
[00:00] <LjL> d10b: #bash
[00:00] <Flare183> #bash
[00:00] <Brolx> Jack_Sparrow: So I guess I'm stuck with this?
[00:00] <Zhaozhou> #bash.
[00:01] <Zhaozhou> :D
[00:01] <shameless> #bash
[00:01] <LjL> ok next one who says #bash gets bashed
[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> andre_: try the gparted LIVEcd... rather than ubuntu live with gparted.
[00:01] <Zhaozhou> haha
[00:01]  * Flare183 laughs
[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Brolx: no. it is fixable,
[00:01] <Brolx> haha
[00:01] <Brolx> Okay.
[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Brolx: Try installing flash and java again...
[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[00:01] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[00:01] <dirtyhand> Where are the MySQL databases stored in Ubuntu?
[00:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !java | Brolx
[00:02] <ubotu> Brolx: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[00:02] <andre_> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, will try it out
[00:02] <Seivan|> What application could I use to unpack tars in XFCE?
[00:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Brolx: ONe more question.. how much ram and hard drive space do you have?
[00:02] <CaptainMorgan> bulmer, that did it, thanks a bunch!
[00:02] <preaction_> Seivan|, file roller?
[00:03] <jimmygoon> Seivan|, like... tar?
[00:03] <Flare183> like ark
[00:03] <jugh3ad> how can I tell which apps are using the most RAM?
[00:03] <the-papster> im having trouble with gcc it wont compile my c++ file - i am just starting to learn c++ this is my first app
[00:03] <comicinke1> jugh3ad: htop
[00:03] <the-papster> heres the paste link with the cpp file and output
[00:03] <the-papster> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47056/
[00:03] <crdlb> the-papster: ##c++
[00:03] <CaptainMorgan> nope.. wait it didn't work
[00:03] <jugh3ad> ok thanks comicinke1
[00:03] <Seivan|> preaction_: fileroller is like 40 mb, and GNOMe
[00:03] <Seivan|> I need a graphical frontend for unpacking tar for XFCE
[00:03] <crdlb> Seivan|: ask in #xubuntu
[00:04] <the-papster> crdlb: what was that for?
[00:04] <yakov_> hello
[00:04] <crdlb> I think there's an xfarchive or something
[00:04] <trimeta> My TEW-423PI wi-fi PCI card keeps getting its IRQ disabled at boot. How do I stop this?
[00:04] <Brolx> Jack_Sparrow: So I should go with the Gutsy Gibbon link on the Flash page?
[00:04] <Some_Person> Where can I get the Ubuntu Wait cursor in Animated GIF format?
[00:04] <CaptainMorgan> bulmer, I commented out the cdrom line but it's still not allowing me to install
[00:04] <preaction_> Seivan|, you can use it under XFCE, unless you want kark (which uses the KDE libs). XFCE requires the GTK libs already
[00:04] <trimeta> (using Ubuntu Server 7.10)
[00:04] <crdlb> the-papster: it's the freenode c++ channel
[00:04] <the-papster> ok cheers!
[00:04] <LjL> the-papster, include <iostream> rather than <iostream.h> for starters
[00:04] <NetLarIrvine> is 1gz processor good enough for 7.10?
[00:05] <yakov_> i've installed dchroot and prepared working chroot, but eventually after i've added non-priv user access to my chroot networking from chroot gone, how can i fix it? please
[00:05] <lazarus_lupine> yeah i'm running 7.10 kubuntu on a p3 w/ no problems
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Brolx: I would think so.. but I dont see it atm.  If you are getting the info from the bot' link.. then yes follow those instructions
[00:05] <NetLarIrvine> ok, thanks
[00:05] <lazarus_lupine> no prob
[00:06] <lazarus_lupine> i'm also running 7.10 server on a p2 box
[00:06] <komputes> lazarus_lupine: the installer is smart and installs less graphical features if your system is a P3
[00:06] <the-papster> LjL: ok done that and now i get this
[00:06] <the-papster> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47057/
[00:06] <Some_Person> Where can I get the Ubuntu Wait cursor in Animated GIF format?
[00:06] <lazarus_lupine> I know i wans't looking for compiz or anything like that

[00:07] <NetLarIrvine> lazarus_lupine, how about 128 mg Ram
[00:07] <lazarus_lupine> also komputes I upgraded from 7.04, so it wasn't a fresh install
[00:07] <andre_> Jack_Sparrow: have you encountered problems with ntfs partitions?
[00:07] <the-papster> anyone? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47057/
[00:07] <andre_> Jack_Sparrow: I'm trying to convert it to EXT3 but having some issues
[00:08] <komputes> lazarus_lupine: I think since 6, the installer is smart
[00:08] <trimeta> So, no one with any ideas on fixing my wireless card's IRQ problem?
[00:08] <cricri> hillo, i have a wide screen lappy with intel chipset but i cant set res to 1280x800
[00:08] <kelsin> the-papster: "using namespace std;" is needed, cout is a member of the std namespace, so you either need to write "std::cout" (I think) every time or include that namespace line
[00:08] <lazarus_lupine> NetLarIrvine, really it depends on what you want to do. I would probably run xubuntu, I have 380mb of ram,
[00:08] <lazarus_lupine> you could run kubuntu w/ 128mb but it wouldn't be that snappy
[00:08] <cricri> the gnome screen does not use the whole lappy screen
[00:09] <slimz> anyone else
[00:09] <benzs_s> hey guys, wondering if you can help... on the wine DB site, it says the following: you need to use the git export and the patch from http://elfe.mine.nu/eve/linux/trinity.diff
[00:09] <benzs_s> the Redist file needs to be run again to install an additional file
[00:09] <benzs_s> what does this mean?
[00:09] <slimz> anyone elses host file break upgrading to hardy heron?
[00:09] <Brolx> Jack_Sparrow: I have 257GB of hard drive space, and I'm unsure how much RAM I have.
[00:09] <cricri> my boot screen res is fine but wrong in gnome, is it a gnome problem?
[00:09] <benzs_s> 'git export and the patch from ... ' ?
[00:09] <Pici> slimz: #ubuntu+1
[00:09] <NetLarIrvine> I will probably just get more Ram, I want to run it as a server, maybe web server
[00:09] <lazarus_lupine> komputes, are you just talking about graphical settings, like effects in KDE?
[00:10] <the-papster> kelsin: now i get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47058/
[00:10] <shredder_> I want to upgrade from 6 to 7.10, I am downloading the 7.10 iso, how do install from there?
[00:10] <LjL> the-papster: seems you'd have to add «  using namespace std;  » after the include line
[00:10] <jimmygoon> anyone use unison?
[00:10] <Danaman5> Hi, I'm having trouble with my simplified Chinese character font - some characters appear grayed out or fragmented.  Does anyone know how to help?
[00:10] <kelsin> the-papster: use g++ to compile
[00:10] <lazarus_lupine> NetLarIrvine, if you just want a basic headless server 128 is ok, my p2 server has 192 and runs apache and a few other things fine
[00:10] <hectorpal> bulmer: stil there?
[00:11] <jimmygoon> Is the turning into ##C++?
[00:11] <the-papster> kelsin
[00:11] <the-papster> thanks kelsin
[00:11] <the-papster> but how do i now execute the program?
[00:11] <NetLarIrvine> Well I will probably want the GUI too
[00:11] <Ttech> I got a quick question, how do I get that nice 3d cube desktop switcher?
[00:11] <Ttech> Installed on Ubntu?
[00:11] <lazarus_lupine> fluxbox would be fine, thats what I did
[00:11] <kelsin> the-papster: if it spit out a.out just run "./a.out"
[00:12] <crdlb> the-papster: ##c++ please, this is not a programming channel

[00:12] <Gekone> Buonanotte a tutti, ragazzuoli.
[00:12] <Ttech> huh?
[00:12] <trimeta> Ttech: Look for info on compiz fusion.
[00:12] <the-papster> it doesn't hurt does it? crdlb
[00:12] <jimmygoon> the-papster, "using namespace std;" predicates the need for std:: prefix
[00:12] <Ttech> trimeta: Thanks... That's all I needed to know.

[00:13] <benzs_s> "you need to use the git export and the patch from http://elfe.mine.nu/eve/linux/trinity.diff" <- what is this asking me to do?

[00:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about diff - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:13] <Brolx> Jack_Sparrow: I know I have at least 512, maybe 1 GB (not sure), and I don't know if that's the case.
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> the-papster: We need to limit the scope of our support to ubuntu.. specifics about programming should go to that channel
[00:13] <henrymiller> http://listazeus.xdcc.it/bot/Crystal|Bot|010.html
[00:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Brolx: then that should not be the issue, just one of many things to check..
[00:14] <the-papster> well.. i didnt know that it was specifically about programming
[00:14] <Ttech> Flare183: You like the bot. :P  LOL  And htanks
[00:14] <the-papster> i asked how to run a program
[00:14] <kelsin> hectorpal: can you pastebin the relevant parts of your sudoers file, and I assume you can sudo normally still?
[00:14] <Flare183> np yeah i do
[00:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Brolx: Good luck, I need to go to a windows box and get some work done
[00:14] <CaptainMorgan> bulmer, /etc/apt/sources.list.save is commented for that line... why won't it work?
[00:14] <Brolx> Ah, thanks.
[00:14] <hectorpal> kelsin: going...
[00:14] <Ttech> Flare183: Can I just do apt to install copiz?
[00:15] <Flare183> yeah
[00:15] <Flare183> Ttech:> yeah sudo apt-get install compiz
[00:15] <Ttech> Flare183: Ok, and last question, which one do I need to get the nice cube?
[00:15] <Brolx> great... it says the Flash plugin is not installed. now what?!
[00:16] <Flare183> Check off Desktop Cube on Compziconfig settings manager
[00:16] <CaptainMorgan> how do I turn off "look for sources CD" remotely? after attempting sudo apt-get install g++ I get this message looking for the CD, but I'm in a remote location and can't insert it.. so I edited /etc/apt/sources.list.gave's line related to the CD, and it stil lwon't work
[00:16] <CaptainMorgan> any ideas?
[00:16] <Ttech> Flare183: Thanks
[00:16] <trimeta> CaptainMorgan: vim /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the line for the CD.
[00:16] <Flare183> Ttech:> np

[00:29] <joerlend> hmm. I have a 1.8Ghz sempron with 1.5GB RAM. I'm using a onboard vesa VGA. If I try to play a normal video file, CPU goes to 100% and it lags. What can I do to fix this?
[00:29] <gordonjcp> MikeH: ;-) nm then...
[00:29] <xvoltx> jake is your sound card on the ubuntu hcl?
[00:29] <juano__> !alsa > jake_
[00:29] <eVipere> LOL @ joerlend, sempron, problem found.
[00:29] <jake_> on the what?
[00:29] <matttis> I miss my bookmarks after updating to firefox <IP_ADDRESS> What can i do to get them back ?
[00:29] <LjL> joerlend, if with that you mean that you're using the "vesa" driver, that's unsurprising
[00:30] <xvoltx> hardware compatibility list
[00:30] <joerlend> LjL, it is? Will I be better off using standard vga or something?
[00:30] <pteague> what's the latest ubuntu? gutsy?
[00:30] <jake_> idk? how do i check?
[00:30] <joerlend> pteague, yes.
[00:30] <pike_> tuna: you know what model it is?
[00:30] <LjL> joerlend, no, you're better off using the correct driver for your card. i seriously doubt it *only* supports vesa.
[00:30]  * pteague updates /etc/apt/sources.list...
[00:30] <LjL> joerlend: find out what card it actually is
[00:30] <michael_> Im using Gutsy, with Cedega and WoW installed-- The game is so slow i can't log in, anyone seen this before?
[00:30] <pike_> joerlend: and sempron is a fine proc
[00:30] <joerlend> pteague, gutsy is ubuntu 7.10, which means October 2007.

[00:31] <eVipere> michael: Yeah, I have... I had WoWo running just fine, then I updated compiz and it freaked out... never found out why..
[00:31] <jake_> sorry
[00:31] <joerlend> LjL, it's an onboard though.
[00:31] <LjL> joerlend: means nothing, it's still a card. intel maybe?
[00:31] <Pici> pteague: there are still different instructions for that. `sudo do-release-upgrade`
[00:31] <xvoltx> at terminal sudo lspci -n
[00:31] <michael_> eVipere_: How do i get the game to patch itself?

[00:32] <Pici> pteague: read the page though, I think theres something extra I'm forgetting
[00:32] <joerlend> LjL, VIA  S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter
[00:32] <kelsin> jsoftw: you can mount them with the mount command
[00:32] <jake_> okay, then what?
[00:32] <eVipere> michael: it should run the updates just fine... you may need to run them manually sometimes though.
[00:32] <pteague> currently upgrading feisty packages...  will check that next...
[00:32] <CaptainMorgan> trimeta, I have deleted that line with the cdrom, but now sudo apt-get install g++ returns E: Can't find g
[00:32] <jsoftw> kelsin: _what_ ?
[00:32] <matttis> I miss my bookmarks after updating to firefox <IP_ADDRESS> What can i do to get them back ? The backup file is overwritten too
[00:32] <pike_> tuna: it seems there may be some issues with new nano and linux
[00:32] <pteague> Pici> if it's close to debian it should be pretty easy... done that a couple times :)
[00:33] <michael_> eVipere_: How is that done???
[00:33] <kelsin> jsoftw: wrong user, sorry
[00:33] <xvoltx> copy the results to http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ and hit check
[00:33] <kelsin> Jangari: you can mount them with the mount command
[00:33] <trimeta> CaptainMorgan: Are you sure that g++ is the proper name?
[00:33] <MikeH> bruenig, next question, what will play the resulting VCD under linux?
[00:33] <jake_> okay
[00:33] <pike_> tuna: however it has been addressed im just not sure if current packages in gutsy are late enough version to work
[00:33] <tuna> pike: there are many threads on the forum that say they got thiers to work, but they all jump past the mounting as if it just worked
[00:33] <jake_> thanks
[00:33] <trimeta> And there are other lines there for the online repositories, right?
[00:33] <MikeH> Totem just gives me "cannot read from resource"
[00:33] <CaptainMorgan> trimeta, absolutely
[00:33] <CaptainMorgan> trimeta, I just installed it on my laptop system
[00:34] <joerlend> LjL, I switched drivers. Do I need to restart X?
[00:34] <Jangari> i can mount it fine, i just want to have terminal be able to search it, etc.,
[00:34] <tuna> pike: I got gtkpod  and libgpod compiled from svn
[00:34] <pike_> ah
[00:34] <xvoltx> does it say yes for your sound card?
[00:34] <kelsin> Jangari: what do you mean by "terminal be able to search it"?
[00:34] <LjL> joerlend: yes. make sure you know how to go back to the old drivers if it fails.
[00:34] <joerlend> I do. :)
[00:34] <Jangari> using cd, ls, etc.,
[00:34] <michael_> eVipere: How do i dl them manually
[00:34] <jake_> yeah....
[00:35] <jake_> but it doesnt work with my speakers....
[00:35] <kelsin> Jangari: yeah so once you mount it, just go to the mount point in the terminal (if gnome is mounting it, it's probably in /media/<something>"
[00:35] <Jangari> list directories/files in a folder, i can only currently do that for my local files
[00:35] <xvoltx> ok then if your card is ok (or if you had sound come out of it before) then it should work in ubuntu.
[00:35] <Jangari> ah, alright
[00:35] <kelsin> Jangari: run "df" to see where things are mounted currently
[00:35] <tuna> pike: and <IP_ADDRESS> kernel.
[00:35] <jake_> it never has worked though
[00:35] <eVipere> michael: That can be challenging sometimes.  You'll have to look on some gaming sites for them.  a quick google search of patch 2.x.x and WoW should yield something.
[00:35] <xvoltx> is it onboard audio?
[00:35] <Jangari> will it be /media/"server"/"share"?
[00:35] <tuna> All i get when I plug it in is a /dev/sdb, no partitions on it
[00:35] <michael_> ok thanks
[00:35] <pike_> tuna: i never had a problem mounting it. i suppose worst case you could run xp in vmware or virtualbox
[00:35] <jake_> what???
[00:35] <tuna> pike: don't have xp
[00:36] <tuna> pike: not stealing it
[00:36] <michael_> eVipere: Is there any kind of memory quota or limit i may have set, upon installation, it told me i didnt have enough memory
[00:36] <hectorpal> ok guys, thanks for your time. You are helping a former fedora user to conver to ubuntu
[00:36] <kelsin> Jangari: mount it up, and run "df" and you'll see where it is
[00:36] <michael_> eVipere: I didnt ahve enough ram-- But i've played WoW on this computer with windows before
[00:36] <pike_> tuna: i hereby will you my old copy of xp
[00:36] <xvoltx> is it built onto your motherboard or is it a card you installed into a PCI/expansion slot?
[00:37] <kelsin> Jangari: it also helps me if you put "kelsin:" at the front of you lines, should just need to type "kel" then hit tab if you have a good irc client
[00:37] <pteague> Pici> found it - `server is sudo aptitude install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade;`
[00:37] <jake_> built in.
[00:37] <rhsanborn> Do you guys know of a windows based program that can create ext3 partitions? I'm trying to install on a usb drive, but the ubuntu installer is having a hard time partitioning my drive
[00:37] <jake_> its plugged into my headphones jack
[00:37] <Pici> pteague: there it is :)
[00:37] <xvoltx> then probably a bad onboard sound controller it's a common problem.
[00:37] <jake_> what should i do????
[00:37] <kelsin> rhsanborn: might have an easier time just using a nother live cd, like knoppix
[00:37] <pike_> tuna: sorry wasnt more help. not sure what the issue is i know you can fix it by redoing the partitions in inlinux but youd need to backup your music
[00:37] <joerlend> LjL, that was much better. Thank you. :)
[00:37] <eVipere> michael: sounds like a setting in wine/cedaga.  1G is enough.
[00:37] <xvoltx> get a pci sound card and install it
[00:38] <xvoltx> something linux friendly, in the market myself.
[00:38] <jake_> but i dual boot and it works in vista
[00:38] <jsoftw> I see.
[00:38] <xvoltx> oh then it's probably a setting or conflict
[00:38] <GIMPY22> Hello everyone, I'm having problems with the test command in Ubuntu. When I do something like test 1 -eq 1 it doesn't return any values, even when I do stuff like test --help nothing happens. Test does exist as verified by which test
[00:38] <jake_> so how do i fix???
[00:38] <pteague> rhsanborn> try making it an ext2 & see if that works... only diff between ext2 & ext3 is 3 is journalized... otherwise ext3 uses ext2...  afaik there isn't a windows app to create ext2/3 partitions... however there is a driver available that will allow windows to *read* them
[00:38] <xvoltx> is your BIOS set to non plug and play os?
[00:38] <michael_> eVipere: I checked for any of the settings, the cedega site said to clear quota or something they didnt elaborate on it
[00:38] <xvoltx> paste what sound card you have here from the hcl results
[00:39] <GIMPY22> anyone know why test doesn't seem to work?
[00:39] <jake_> 8086284b	Yes	Intel Corporation	82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller	snd-hda-intel	v2.6.21
[00:39] <kelsin> GIMPY22: test returns a value by it's exit code, after you run it you need to run "echo $?" to see it
[00:39] <GIMPY22> oh, I figured it'd print the return value back to the screen.
[00:39] <xvoltx> what kind of audio you trying to play?
[00:39] <GIMPY22> thanks I'll try echo $?
[00:39] <eVipere> michael: Go figure... cedaga not being very useful... try just running wine: wine /path/to/WoW.exe   may work better.
[00:39] <jake_> anything. movies music. i dont care
[00:40] <jake_> nothing works
[00:40] <rhsanborn> will try it, thanks
[00:40] <matttis> My firefox bookmarks ran away !! WHAT can I do ?!?
[00:40] <pike_> michael_: wine is to a state that it usually equals or trumps cedega these days
[00:40] <michael_> eVipere: does wine need to be installed separatly
[00:40] <kelsin> GIMPY22: and in scripts that is what "if" checks when you call "if [ 1 -eq 1 ]; then" etc
[00:40] <michael_> but i paid for cedega :(
[00:40] <xvoltx> check settings/mixer settings
[00:40] <jake_> k
[00:40] <eVipere> Probably, cedaga is a hacked-up version of wine designed for better gaming.....
[00:41] <GIMPY22> so you don't put the test command in the evaluation brackets?
[00:41] <GIMPY22> so weird, in my fedora script I use if test q -eq k; then
[00:41] <michael_> does cedega have anything worthy of dling :(
[00:41] <pike_> GIMPY22: usually you might go ahead and and assign a variable the return value like RETVAR=$?  then use that in your if later
[00:41] <michael_> or transgaming for that matter
[00:41] <jake_> wait.... how do i get to settings?
[00:41] <GIMPY22> I see.
[00:41] <kelsin> GIMPY22: yeah that works too, [ is an alias for test
[00:41] <pike_> tifine: you can do that too
[00:41] <GIMPY22> ahhh
[00:41] <xvoltx> make sure your intel is selected in the drop down list of devices. I run xubuntu its applications for me
[00:42] <eVipere> They may have gotten better, but last time I knew a while back, I was better off with installing wine from apt-repository, or just building it myself for better performance.
[00:42] <pteague> if you want a free release of cedega... go download & install eve-online for linux
[00:42] <tifine> pike_: what i can do that too ?
[00:42] <GIMPY22> and echo $? just prints the return value of the last process that ran?
[00:42] <pike_> tifine: sorry wrong nick
[00:42] <kelsin> yep $? always has the return value of the last process
[00:42] <jake_> where do i find that though. im running gutsy 7.10, gnome
[00:42] <GIMPY22> cool thanks.
[00:42] <pteague> i'm not sure if it will let you play other games, but it downloads all the default settings for every other game...
[00:42] <eVipere> Now, anyone know how to remove an mdadm array, when a drive is not attached physically to the PC anymore?
[00:43] <xvoltx> not sure I only ever run 6.06 and am new myself.
[00:43] <pteague> eVipere> comment the line or delete it out of /etc/fstab ?
[00:43] <jake_> how do you get to settings?
[00:43] <xvoltx> but I can tell you your card is supported and it's probably something simple
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> xvoltx: Dapper.. that was a nice release
[00:43] <eVipere> pteague: um... no, the mdadm app doesn't rely on /etc/fstab.
[00:44] <xvoltx> I am always a little behind the times Jack_Sparrow
[00:44] <hobbesmaster> is there a way to get a "open command line here" type menu option in the file browser?
[00:44] <xvoltx> rather absolute stability vs newest features
[00:44] <pteague> eVipere> check /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
[00:45] <eVipere> pteague: completely commented out....
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> xvoltx: Same here, let the others enjoy the fluffy features, I only need the basics.
[00:45] <pteague> eVipere> all i remember from setting it up was i had a funky time trying to get to specifically take the drives in a certain order...  it apparently pulls drives from /proc/partitions
[00:45] <GIMPY22> okay another question, do you have to define types in bash scripts? i.e I did t=2 test t -eq 2  and the terminal reports that t is a "bad number"
[00:46] <pteague> eVipere> oh & might also want to check /proc/mdstat
[00:46] <Kyptan> i'm having an issue with my triple-boot system
[00:46] <MikeH> Guys, what can I use to play a kvcd once I've mounted an iso
[00:46] <TerribleTickler> anyone talk in here
[00:46] <MikeH> I've tried gxine, but it tells me it has no plugin for vcd
[00:46] <pike_> GIMPY22: test $t -eq 2
[00:46] <eVipere> pteague: /proc is rebuilt everytime the OS is booted up, and it just displays the status of the md arrays.
[00:46] <Kyptan> i can't get ubuntu to load
[00:46] <MikeH> mplayer doesn't work, I'm lost :S
[00:46] <GIMPY22> ARRGHH LoL obvious mistake, thanks :-P
[00:47] <Kyptan> even though its the last one i installed
[00:47] <TerribleTickler> linux is hard to learn
[00:47] <xvoltx> yeah. I am trying out xubuntu 6.06 for the first time on a system with 256mb ram, and celeron 1.7 cpu. want to see if it can hack some audio playback and ripping/network monitor and web browsing/design
[00:47] <pteague> eVipere> yes, but it's something to check & see if, even though the drive has been removed, it's still *finding* the drive or assuming it's there
[00:47] <drkfce> Hi all.  Has anyone been able to get superkaramba to work in gnome?  I know about gdesklets and screenlets, but I have some custom themes in superkaramba that I want someone else to use.
[00:47] <Pici> TerribleTickler: do you have a question we can answeR?
[00:48] <CaptainMorgan> trimeta, bulmer "The program 'g++' can be found in the following packages: * g++" when I try to apt-get install g++ it says "g" can't be found
[00:48] <MasterShrek> drkfce, superkaramba is for kde
[00:48] <xvoltx> hope to use it to ssh into a web server 233Mhz box with a scsi drive
[00:48] <pteague> which means may have to remove it from /dev
[00:48] <trimeta> CaptainMorgan: Maybe use quotes around it? I don't know.
[00:49] <TerribleTickler> well I need to link that can show me how to black list old madwifi or what ever so i can compile new madwifi
[00:49] <MasterShrek> !blacklist
[00:49] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u »
[00:49] <CaptainMorgan> great.. I deleted the line and now it can't be found, at least when the line was there, it looked for it and then asked me for the cd
[00:49] <pike_> CaptainMorgan: sudo apt-get update
[00:51] <drkfce> MasterShrek: Aramok is also for kde, but it works fine.  I thought you could interchangebly install kde/gnome programs?
[00:51] <CaptainMorgan> pike_, thanks!
[00:51] <drkfce> amarok*
[00:51] <TerribleTickler> thank you
[00:51] <Jangari> hmm, how do i mount from a terminal?
[00:51] <Jangari> a server, that is
[00:51] <robr> is there somewhere I can get a list of support or unsupported hardware?
[00:51] <MasterShrek> drkfce, yuo can try it, but ive never heard of superkaramba in gnome
[00:51] <LjL> drkfce: sure you can, they're just slower to start up and overall you take up more memory
[00:51] <LjL> !hardware > robr    (robr, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:51] <MasterShrek> Jangari, user the command mount
[00:52] <thor> CaptainMorgan you install g and associated files by installing build-essential
[00:52] <robr> thx
[00:52] <Jangari> yes, MasterShrek, i'm getting the message "mount: can't find (server name) in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[00:52] <drkfce> thanks for the help though :)
[00:53] <MasterShrek> Jangari, what kinda server? samba?
[00:53] <judgement07> help: how come devede is still working if i uninstalled it, also i installed the .deb pkg
[00:54] <Jangari> i normally nav to it through a window using samba, yes
[00:54] <Annirak> What do I need to do in order to get Ubuntu 7.1 installed on a partitioned RAID alongside Vista?  Hardware is Intel P965 with ICH8, Core 2 Q6600.
[00:54] <Jangari> well, the address prints out as smb://server/share
[00:54] <MasterShrek> Jangari, sudo mount -t smbfs //server/share /mount/point
[00:54] <CaptainMorgan> thor,  build-essential ?
[00:54] <CaptainMorgan> hmm..
[00:54] <Jangari> mount point?
[00:54] <GIMPY22> does anyone know if the 2.6.22 kernel has Xen built into the kernel (So I don't need to get a modified kernel for dom0 and DomU?)
[00:54] <MasterShrek> Jangari, if you need add to the end: -o username=<user>,password=<pass>
[00:55] <MasterShrek> well you need to mount it somewhere
[00:55] <thor> CaptainMorgan right...it should install g++ if I am not mistaken
[00:55] <h_man> hi to all
[00:55] <renegade420> hello
[00:55] <GIMPY22> hi
[00:56] <renegade420> #eeepc
[00:56] <renegade420> ah crap
[00:57] <astro76> renegade420, /join #channelname
[00:57] <neil_d> with python using a cairo.PDFSurface() can you generate multi-page pdf documents ?
[00:57] <matttis> My firefox bookmarks ran away !! WHAT can I do ?!?
[00:57] <matttis> My firefox bookmarks ran away !! WHAT can I do ?!?
[00:58] <renegade420> thank you :)
[00:58] <michael_> anyone know the command to dl and install Mozilla Activx Control?
[00:58] <MasterShrek> you better go catch them!
[00:58] <matttis> but where did they ran to ?
[00:58] <Strangework> How exactly do I check to see if my graphics card is functioning properly?
[00:59] <Annirak> What do I need to do in order to get Ubuntu 7.1 installed on a partitioned RAID5 alongside Vista?  Hardware is Intel P965 with ICH8, Core 2 Q6600.  The partitioner sees 4 drives instead of the RAID.
[00:59] <matttis> michael_: maybe use the mozdev website
[00:59] <Pici> matttis: look in ~/.mozilla/
[00:59] <matttis> Pici: nothing there
[00:59] <michael_> matttis: itll be tough, im at work and they have a filter, but ill try, you know any commands?
[01:00] <astro76> Annirak, you need the alternate install cd to install on raid
[01:00] <Annirak> astro76: I have the complete DVD
[01:00] <matttis> michael_: no, sorry. the name looks like an name of an extension
[01:00] <astro76> Annirak, that is supposed to have the alternate installer on it also
[01:01] <Strangework> How exactly do I check to see if my graphics card is functioning properly?
[01:01] <juano__> Strangework: glxgears
[01:01] <Annirak> astro76: specifically, I have the "ubuntu-7.10-dvd-amd64.iso" image.  So if I use the alternate install available on the menu of that disc, it should work?
[01:01] <Strangework> thanks juano_
[01:02] <juano__> Strangework: np
[01:02] <renegade420> Does anyone here have an Eeee PC?
[01:02] <nny> g nickserv identify service
[01:02] <nny> lol damn
[01:02] <michael_> anyone know the command to dl and install Mozilla Activx Control?
[01:02] <Annirak> oooo
[01:02] <matttis> Pici: i happened after an update off ff and noscript
[01:02] <Annirak> password!
[01:02] <LjL> nny: "service" isn't exactly a strong password either
[01:02] <nny> lol its just for IRC
[01:02] <nny> but yeah
[01:02] <Pici> matttis: An Ubuntu upgrade?
[01:02] <FangLiger> okay i need some serious amounts of help, i'm very close to swearing off linux entirely
[01:03] <matttis> Pici; firefox was an ubuntu upgrade, yes
[01:03] <FangLiger> my internet keeps behaving like a rabid wolverine
[01:03] <nny> and the xchat default for ubuntu *starts* in the mains creen and shifts to #ubuntu usually while I am automagically entering in my /msg nickserv etc.
[01:03] <Annirak> FangLiger You need to describe the problem a little more technically for us.  CAT-5e does not generally grow fur.
[01:04] <uosyo> irc.indymedia.org
[01:04] <matttis> michael_: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm    maybe you'll something there
[01:04] <MasterShrek> nny put your password in the nickserv box in the settings for the server
[01:04] <FangLiger> lol Annirak: it's wireless
[01:04] <Aok> Johnny?
[01:04] <nny> MasterShrek, i'll check that out
[01:04] <jimjam> What does a ~ after a filename mean?
[01:04] <FangLiger> i'm running a gigabyte 802.11b PCI card
[01:05] <danbhfive> jimjam: usually temporary
[01:05] <Annirak> FangLiger Let me rephrase then.  Air does not generally grow hair, teeth, and hydrophobia
[01:05] <Strangework> juano_: I ran the glxgears program, it has given approx 880fps. What worries me is that every so often, every 4 seconds, the gears are 'interrupted', solid black boxes appear over the gears. What does this mean?
[01:05] <FangLiger> i read referance to the RT61 chipset having problems
[01:05] <michael_> matttis: thats where i was previously, what do i do with the bin files?
[01:05] <FangLiger> lol @Annirak
[01:05] <astro76> jimjam, some text editors save backup copies with ~ at the end of the name
[01:05] <pike_> jimjam: type 'echo ~' in a terminal and youll see
[01:05] <Pici> Strangework: glxgears is not a benchmark
[01:05] <FangLiger> it seems to randomly stop working
[01:05] <Pelo> g'night folks
[01:05] <matttis> michael_: execute
[01:05] <Strangework> Pici, excuse me?
[01:06] <jimjam> danbhfive: Alright. So they'll get cleaned up as time progresses? I don't have to worry about duplicate files?
[01:06] <FangLiger> it still has connection it just wont send or recieve packets
[01:06] <danbhfive> FanLiger: you could try changing the channel that the wireless is running on, are you using ndiswrapper?
[01:06] <jimjam> astro76: Oh, I hadn't considered that.
[01:06] <Strangework> Pici, oh, I see
[01:06] <michael_> matttis: is this a command, or how do i execute
[01:06] <Pici> Strangework: Its not a benchmark, it means nothing.  If anything, its drawing faster than your screen can display.
[01:06] <danbhfive> jimjam: i dunno, I've never really paid attention to them
[01:06] <matttis> michael_: ./file.bin
[01:06] <astro76> jimjam, they won't get deleted automatically
[01:06] <FangLiger> Danbhfive: i don't know what ndiswrapper is, i'm running channel 6 would that cause a problem?
[01:07] <dORSY> ^j ubuntu/hu
[01:07] <jimjam> astro76: Oh, ok. Thanks.
[01:07] <Annirak> FangLiger http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility/Gigabyte
[01:07] <darklos> hello
[01:08] <Annirak> well, these guys will be more helpful than me
[01:08] <Strangework> Pici: Hm, well, I attempted running Nexuiz on Ubuntu, the FPS has dropped drastically compared to when I played it on Vista
[01:08] <Annirak> I must go
[01:08] <FangLiger> grrrrr.....i wish i knew which one i was using off the top of my head
[01:08] <danbhfive> FangLiger: well, channel 6 is the default, if other networks are operating on the same channel, it can cause problems
[01:08] <UnNaturalHigh> anyone know a good media player to listen to streaming music that allows you to change the amount of buffer used?
[01:08] <Strangework> Pici: What can I do about this?
[01:09] <FangLiger> i should be the only one in range, but i know occasionally i will pick up my neighbor's network at like 1% strenght that might explain the intermittant problems
[01:09] <michael_> matttis: is the file name the name it shows in my download box, youll have to break it down for meh, im extrmemly new at this
[01:09] <FangLiger> but i don't have that problem in windows
[01:09] <FangLiger> just in ubuntu
[01:09] <Lunks> danbhfive: should rsync take forever? =P
[01:09] <michael_> matttis: its showing as a exe file btw
[01:09] <Lunks> danbhfive: and why -aS?

[01:12] <michael_> matttis: Here is the Mozilla 1.7.7 ActiveX Control Installer (GPG sig). This is built from the latest cut of the 1.7 branch in case anyone is wondering why this is tagged 1.7.7 when the latest "official" Mozilla is 1.7.6.
[01:12] <novice42> I tried to edit the xorg.conf file logged in as root, but when I try to save it, it tells me that I don't have permission
[01:12] <michael_> matttis: what is this you ask?? i have no clue-- its the link on the site, aside from that, it wont let me unzip it
[01:12] <neko> is there a way to easily click on someone name for replying with "randomnickname:" at the start of the input ?
[01:13] <OldMarLaw> novice42: I presume you are using ubuntu, why do you use root ? Isn't sudo enough ?
[01:13] <LjL> neko, most people find it easier to just type the first few letters of the nickname and then hit TAB
[01:13] <novice42> went to root when sudo didn't work but get same in both

[01:14] <OldMarLaw> novice42: sorry, didn't see that
[01:14] <komputes> The actual error happens in Add/Remove: X cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)
[01:14] <michael_> matttis: i think i may have found something
[01:14] <OldMarLaw> novice42:  can you please try the command I said and then once you are done saving by cctrl + x and then pressing Y ?
[01:15] <michael_> matttis: i was looking at the wrong link-- How do i tel what mozilla version i have
[01:15] <novice42> didn't know about nano I'll try that

[01:22] <jrib> Strangework: I don't know about intel
[01:22] <Zelofun> ok
[01:22] <Strangework> jrib: should I just google that name and look for linux drivers?
[01:22] <komputes> What causes the error "cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" on a i386 install?
[01:22] <komputes> What causes the error "cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" on a i386 install?
[01:23] <komputes> sorry for the double
[01:23] <novice42> ok, that worked. My problem is that I had all the graphic extras turned on for compiz and as soon as I shut down and rebooted all the extras became disabled and are no longer able to be re-enabled
[01:23] <OldMarLaw> komputes: never heard of that
[01:23] <novice42> it's on a laptop
[01:23] <jrib> Strangework: sure, see if you can get 3d acceleration going
[01:23] <OldMarLaw> komputes: did you try to google that ?
[01:23] <Pici> komputes: what is the output of uname -a ?
[01:23] <Strangework> jrib: okay, thanks! :)
[01:23] <jchamm> Is there a way to make an icon in the Applications -> Accessories -> such that it shows up for all users?
[01:23] <komputes> OldMarLaw: Yes I googled it
[01:23] <jrib> komputes: tell us what you are trying to install
[01:23] <bruenig> jchamm, write a .desktop and drop it in /usr/share/applications
[01:23] <SpookyET> I'm trying to setup my partitions. I have a 100GB hard drive. / 200MiB  /boot 100 MiB  /swap 3GiB /var 2GiB /tmp 2 GiB /usr 10 GiB /home 75.87 GiB   How are those numbers?
[01:24] <EnderTheThird> Anyone familiar with the Dell Optiplex GX260?  I'm getting some pretty awful performance on here and with a 2GHz CPU, I really didn't think I would be.
[01:24] <jchamm> bruenig: Of course... Thanks!
[01:24] <bruenig> jchamm, I would recommend doing that for all additions period and not bother with that menu editor thing
[01:24] <komputes> jrib: a program, on 7.10, doesn't matter which one, this error is frequent, i've seen it before
[01:24] <jchamm> bruenig: Thanks...
[01:24] <OldMarLaw> SpookyET: just wondering .. isn't 3GB of swap,whatever you ram is, too much ?
[01:24] <komputes> Pici:  Hey there, I had a question you could maybe help me with: Do you remember what causes the error "cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" on a i386 install?
[01:24] <jrib> komputes: it does matter which one if you want help...
[01:25] <komputes> Pici: wrong paster - Linux seepyou 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[01:25] <Pici> komputes: If I remember correctly, sometimes it can be caused by having the -i386 kernel instead of the -generic kernel
[01:25] <SpookyET> I suppose it is. But, if you do not manually partition, Ubuntu will setup (4GiB - RAM) = SWAP on 32bit
[01:25] <Pici> komputes: but not in your case
[01:25] <Zelofun> OldMarLaw: r u here?
[01:25] <komputes> jrib: sure it matters, but many things cause this error on an i386
[01:25] <OldMarLaw> Zelofun: yeah, did you check my private message ?
[01:26] <fuertesfj> Need help with audio
[01:26] <komputes> jrib: i mean many apps produce this error
[01:26] <jrib> komputes: so name one that is producing it now
[01:26] <Zelofun> OldMarLaw: yes i did but nothing reached here!
[01:26] <OldMarLaw> SpookyET: Well .. the old rule of dump was double your ram capacity but now days .. that's quite too much
[01:26]  * jrib does not see why this is like pulling teeth
[01:26] <komputes> jrib: even if the architechture is correct
[01:26] <OldMarLaw> SpookyET:  I would say that 2 is more than enough for now days, what ever your ram is
[01:26] <SpookyET> I have 1GiB of RAM
[01:26] <SpookyET> Other than that, how are those numbers?
[01:27] <SpookyET> too much too little?
[01:27] <michael_> matttis: non of those versions will work with mine on that site
[01:27] <komputes> jrib: Adobe Reader, VMware player to name a few
[01:27] <Benalex> SpookyET: I don;t think you need any swap
[01:27] <danbhfive> OldMarLaw: I have 2g for swap, which never get used at all, with 2g ram.  I only put it there to test hibernation, which failed  :P

[01:49] <Benalex> Warhead`BNC: you wanna say after fixing your MBR you cant boot into grub?
[01:49] <Warhead`BNC> no Benalex
[01:49] <Warhead`BNC> before I couldnt.
[01:49] <Warhead`BNC> and windows wouldnt boot.
[01:49] <Warhead`BNC> so i ended up fixing my MBR.
[01:49] <[eDo]> Windows is crap
[01:50] <[eDo]> use ubuntu
[01:50] <cornell> Aaron_Mason: I tried that... can't seem to figure out how to define users to it...  I don't want to spend weeks studying the subject, I just want to create a few users.  I've found some pages that reference openLDAP software (notably migrate_passwd.pl) that I don't have, can't find.  Can't find a decent example, or a simple explanation.  I was hoping for something easier.
[01:50] <Strangework> tru dat [eDo]
[01:50] <[eDo]> or other distribution
[01:50] <Warhead`BNC> [eDo]: I use both.
[01:50] <Warhead`BNC> i need windows.
[01:50] <Benalex> Warhead`BNC: Would you please discribe your problem again/>
[01:50] <OldMarLaw> [eDo]:  Windows is crap because M$ is evil, not because the sw its unusable
[01:50] <Warhead`BNC> Benalex: Get error 0x70 when booting the Live CD.
[01:50] <[eDo]> linux is more better
[01:50] <[eDo]> than windoze
[01:50] <vmlinuz`> how can I tell what kind of shell I got, bash or tsch or whatever.
[01:50] <[eDo]> is Virsu free
[01:50] <OldMarLaw> more better [eDo] is not really english .. neither italian :{
[01:51] <OldMarLaw> :P
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> ?
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> Linux is virus free?
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> o_O
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> there are 15 viruses.
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> :3
[01:51] <OldMarLaw> Linux is not virus free
[01:51] <vmlinuz`> hey, can somebody see my text!
[01:51] <[eDo]> and 15 million in windows
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> Guess I'm rebooting.
[01:51] <Sepheebear> vmlinuz`: echo $SHELL
[01:51] <Zelofun> anyone can help me to install ubuntu?
[01:51] <cornell> Virus free, relatively speaking
[01:51] <OldMarLaw> [eDo]:  And I never need an anti-virus
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> [eDo]: as someone who has expirience in viruses, I'm safe from them :|.
[01:51] <cornell> vmlinuz`: I see your text
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> So doesnt bother me
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> but the CD has errors.
[01:51] <Warhead`BNC> So I guess I'm going to reburn.
[01:51] <Benalex> Warhead`BNC: do you get this error while booting your pc or while booting vmware? at what stage do you get this error?
[01:52] <Warhead`BNC> While booting the PC after loading kernal.
[01:52] <Warhead`BNC> But the CD is having errors.
[01:52] <[eDo]> Canonical send me this beautiful cd of ubuntu
[01:52] <vmlinuz`> cornell: okay
[01:52] <Warhead`BNC> Guess my mom tossed it around and it got scratched, worked before.
[01:52] <[eDo]> and I will use them
[01:52] <meoblast001> hello

[01:53] <Warhead`BNC> hmm
[01:53] <[eDo]> Vista

[01:53] <Warhead`BNC> cleaned, trying again.
[01:53] <[eDo]> that copyed crap
[01:53] <Sepheebear> its bash but what happened did you compile your own?
[01:53] <OldMarLaw> [eDo]: I tried vista once, heavy and all you think of, but, 2k, its quite usable

[01:54] <OldMarLaw> Warhead`BNC:  I rather use 2k if i have to use m$

[01:54] <Warhead`BNC> my CPU idles at 0-2%, rathr than 20-30%.
[01:54] <danbhfive> Optimus55: when I installed ndiswrapper, I had to add it to a modprobe list, so I figured you need to remove it from that list

[01:54] <[eDo]> cracks
[01:54] <Benalex> meoblast001: you can't run exe file from shell, you have to open wine file manager then dbl click exe files
[01:54] <OldMarLaw> [eDo]:  I agree
[01:55] <OldMarLaw> [eDo]: Things is, was easier to make unix easier than fixing windows properly :P

[01:55] <[eDo]> I must try ubuntu studio
[01:55] <[eDo]> I see some presentation
[01:55] <LjL> Benalex: what's bad with just doing "wine filename"?
[01:55] <Warhead`BNC> bbl, gonna practice my kicks.
[01:55] <Warhead`BNC> Almost perfected my round house kick =].
[01:55] <Benalex> nothing... another good way... but I always prefer GUI :)

[01:56] <OldMarLaw> thanks for the nice evening
[01:56] <viro> man they make kiba dock a pain

[02:00] <Frankeh> hello!, how do you veiw your hda's?
[02:00] <Strangework> I recently attempted running Nexuiz on Ubuntu, the FPS has dropped drastically compared to when I played it on Vista. My graphics card is Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller. How can I get the best out of my graphics card? I have also been told to activate 3d acceleration, how can I do that?
[02:00] <Frankeh> ill try to not ping out this time :P
[02:00] <LjL> meoblast001, the file must have the +x attribute of course, and you probably also have to run update-binfmts
[02:00] <Warhead`BNC> cleaned the CD, no errors now xD
[02:00] <Warhead`BNC> brb, installing ubuntu.
[02:01] <adamonline45> In Dolphin, I click Samba shares and I can see mshome, but when I click on mshome it says 'loading directory, 0%' at the bottom, and it's not doing anything.  Does anyone know how to fix this so I can see my windows shares?
[02:01] <Cabbage> Strangework: Which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[02:01] <Benalex> Frankeh: Click system, administrator, Hardware information
[02:01] <Zelofun> Help! plz! Ubuntu Installation problem!
[02:02] <Benalex> Zelofun: please, describe
[02:02] <Strangework> Cabbage: Feisty Fawn, 7.04
[02:02] <Cabbage> Zelofun: Please state the nature of your installation emergency.

[02:03] <Strangework> Cabbage: HP Pavilion dv6525 I believe
[02:03] <meoblast001> update-binfmts wont work
[02:03] <meoblast001> LjL: guess i have to live with it
[02:04] <uKKeMan> anyone can help me setting my graphictablet to absolute style? i changed the xorg.conf and restartet it, but no change ;/
[02:04] <Cabbage> Strangework: Your best bet for something like this is googling around for installation info for your particular laptop.
[02:04] <michael_> attempting to use Rhythmbox-- Is there anything better i should be using...
[02:04] <michael_> feel like the stonage of multimedia
[02:04] <casio1374633> uKKeMan: Xorg -configure
[02:04] <Optimus56> how do i completely remove ndiswrapper?
[02:05] <casio1374633> after that, read the information carefully
[02:05] <Strangework> Cabbage: hm, okay, thank you!

[02:05] <Strangework> Cabbage: wait. How do I check to see if I have a driver already?
[02:05] <Zelofun> I have 2 partitions for my HD, First one is NTFS and the second I left it unpartitioned to install ubuntu.... now I am on prepare partitions window...and when I tru to format ext3 my HD: 1. the 8MB free space is desapiaring 2. I cannot continue formating because I have to define root directory... and root directory want it to be a part of the second partition I have left for installin ubuntu!
[02:05] <Strangework> Cabbage: Oh, and do you think I should upgrade to 7.10?
[02:06] <uKKeMan> is there a gui for xorg config settings?
[02:06] <casio1374633> uKKeMan: are you successful access X ?
[02:06] <Cabbage> Strangework: I don't have any experience with Fiesty, I jumped to Gutsy straight from Dapper. I wouldn't know, sorry.
[02:06] <Cabbage> Strangework: The key line in all of this looks like: sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri
[02:06] <Cabbage> Anyway, sorry, I'm at work, and I have to go.
[02:07] <uKKeMan> X is running without any problems but starting xorg -configure says that x is already running ;)
[02:07] <MasterShrek> Optimus55, depends on how you installed it
[02:07] <kuribohx> is there anyway to bring the files back that I deleted from the madwifi directory?
[02:07] <Strangework> Cabbage: Ah, thanks Cabbage. :)

[02:07] <Frankeh> jk dont
[02:07] <MasterShrek> Frankeh, dont suggest things like that, there are many users here who do not know what that does
[02:08] <Frankeh> just a joke :)
[02:08] <OldMarLaw> Frankeh: Take your hard drive and put it in the microwave ... just jk, don't
[02:08] <Frankeh> haha
[02:08] <bazhang> Frankeh: not funny
[02:08] <Frankeh> thats the responce i wanted :)
[02:08] <soulrider> Frankeh, if i were you i wouldnt do that again unless you wanna get booted
[02:08] <casio1374633> uKKeMan: you are already in X, so xorg -configure don't need to work
[02:09] <soulrider> uh oh
[02:09] <Strangework> Cabbage: hm, claims I already have the latest version of libgl1-mesa-dri

[02:09] <T1m0thy> oops
[02:09] <T1m0thy> Wrong channel.
[02:09] <Frankeh> i was making sure everyone was doing their jobs
[02:09] <Strangework> Cabbage: Should I, perhaps, upgrade to Gutsy Gibbon?
[02:09] <casio1374633> uKKeMan: you have been in X windows, and what's you problem ?
[02:09] <uKKeMan> i put that into the xorg.conf 	Option "Mode" "Absolute" to my stylus identifier of the wacom part
[02:10] <corruptionoflulz> Zelofun: super easy way to do that is make your ntfs one big partition, then run the ubuntu installer and let it resize it for you.
[02:10] <uKKeMan> casio1374633, that the graphictablet position wont set to absolute
[02:10] <soulrider> =/
[02:10] <soulrider> this is getting interesting :P
[02:10] <MasterShrek> uKKeMan, just edit it manually if thats all you want to do
[02:11] <uKKeMan> MasterShrek, i edited it but its not working thats my problem
[02:11] <Benalex> Zelofun: I didn't try to create a partition during installing, I always to it before starting installation
[02:11] <casio1374633> uKKeMan: do you backup xorg.conf before you change it ?
[02:11] <Zelofun> corruptionoflulz:  Does not seems to be a bad Idea but is there going to be any traffic loss while merging the partitions?
[02:11] <MasterShrek> uKKeMan, you restarted your xserver after editting?
[02:11] <MasterShrek> casio1374633, its generally a good idea to
[02:11] <corruptionoflulz> Zelofun: not really sure what you mean by traffic loss...
[02:11] <Bakefy> how do I get firefox to close completely when i get that "already running" error?
[02:12] <uKKeMan> MasterShrek, casio1374633 no its just a little change. yeah i restarted with ctrl+alt+ (uhm the delete button) but no change
[02:12] <corruptionoflulz> Zelofun: my suggestion is merge partitons, defrag, then run ubuntu installer and use the slider to resize the hard drive.
[02:12] <Zelofun> corruptionoflulz: data loss I mean (sorry used to it fro my work)
[02:12] <MasterShrek> Bakefy, open a terminal and type: killall firefox
[02:12] <casio1374633> MasterShrek: maybe he just need restart X
[02:12] <MasterShrek> apparently he already did
[02:12] <uKKeMan> yepp
[02:12] <danbhfive> Bakefy: ps -e | grep firefox
[02:12] <casio1374633> uKKeMan: maybe you just need to restart your computer
[02:12] <Zelofun> corruptionoflulz: ok
[02:12] <MasterShrek> uKKeMan, then whatever you changed didnt do it, keep searching, or make sure you have the correct syntax
[02:12] <toodles> Bakefy: MasterShrek: I believe it's "killall firefox-bin"
[02:13] <NeMo> pkill firefox
[02:13] <uKKeMan> mastershrek: i copy and paste the syntax of the wacom site
[02:13] <corruptionoflulz> Zelofun: i guess it's good to do a defrag before intsalling ubuntu anyways
[02:13] <MasterShrek> toodles, you are correct
[02:13] <NeMo> pkill -9 firefox
[02:13] <uKKeMan> but i give it another try

[02:13] <owoc> hmm
[02:13] <Strangework> How do I check to see what driver is currently assigned to my graphics card?
[02:13] <Benalex> Zelofun: for me I suggest use GParted from live cd session to modify yout partitions then start installation... GParted intreface has more functionality than in installer
[02:13] <evasive> so is this the chat room?
[02:14] <Bakefy> toobles!  you are the winner!
[02:14] <MasterShrek> Strangework, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[02:14] <toodles> lol
[02:14] <Bakefy> toodles*
[02:14] <evasive> is there any need for me to register with a website?
[02:14] <MasterShrek> Strangework, it will give you a few lines, but it will narrow it down
[02:14] <Strangework> MasterShrek: I will check that out, thanks :)
[02:14] <evasive> or am I speaking into the wind?
[02:14] <Zelofun> corruptionoflulz: I will do this but to be honest I do not appreciate that much MS defragmanter
[02:14] <Bakefy> Thanks, MasterShrek, danbhfiv and toodles
[02:14] <Flannel> evasive: No.  You can register with nickserv if you want.  You'll be able to 'own' your nick, and send private messages.
[02:14] <panfist> hi, does ubuntu support any hardware accelerated h.264 or other hi-def video playback?

[02:15] <MasterShrek> the wind blows in evasive's face
[02:15] <corruptionoflulz> Zelofun: you don't really have to merge them, it just sounded like you were getting confused on what should be what

[02:15] <MasterShrek> !paste
[02:15] <corruptionoflulz> Zelofun: but i guess it's still a good idea to defrag your windows partition
[02:15] <MasterShrek> Strangework, its the i810
[02:15] <evasive> greetings everyone
[02:15] <craigbass1976> How do I make a slideshow of jpgs and have music in the background so that someone can watch it in windows?  What app am i looking for?
[02:15] <Zelofun> corruptionoflulz: ok
[02:15] <evasive> I"m a former Windows user, and I'm lost...
[02:16] <Bakefy> I had a command that used to work in an older version, but it stopped!  now I know the new fix!  my firefox does it alot it seems like?  any reason why?
[02:16] <craigbass1976> evasive, you'll find your way,  what's up?
[02:16] <Strangework> MasterShrek: i810, umm. What is i810?
[02:16] <MasterShrek> craigbass1976, most picture viewers can do slideshow, and use your favorite music player for music :)
[02:16] <Zelofun> corruptionoflulz: thanks!! see u soon
[02:16] <evasive> I have an ATI graphics card on an AMD
[02:16] <MasterShrek> Strangework, its an intel-based gfx card
[02:16] <craigbass1976> MasterShrek, what do I use to make it though?
[02:16] <evasive> but ubuntu 7 will not install on it
[02:16] <Kavok> Does anyone have experince with Atheros AR5007EG wireless?
[02:17] <kuribohx> is there anyway to bring the files back that I deleted from the madwifi directory?
[02:17] <K_Dallas> Good evening guys! How could I have more than 2 desktops (under gnome), thanks
[02:17] <Flannel> evasive: What doesn't work during the install?
[02:17] <panfist> if i want hardware accelerated video playback in ubuntu, should i buy an amd or an nvidia graphics card?
[02:17] <corruptionoflulz> K_Dallas: you mean like, desktop environments?
[02:17] <craigbass1976> MasterShrek, the whoel deal is this...    My mother-in-law and I banter back and forth about it.  I won't even go into one.  I was thinking of shopping there this year, taking funny pics, making a show, and setting it to music to give her for xmas
[02:17] <toodles> panfist: I don't know which codecs work, but I have played hi-def videos with the default player, Totem, and also with xine.
[02:17] <K_Dallas> corruptionoflulz, yes
[02:17] <Benalex> K_Dallas: you mean more than one workspace?
[02:17] <K_Dallas> that is it :) sorry for the wording
[02:17] <craigbass1976> evasive, ahh, never had that trouble.  Someone in here knows though
[02:18] <MasterShrek> craigbass1976, put the pictures that you want in the slideshow in their own seperate folder, and double click one, i dont know what program will open up, and since i dont use gnome i cant exactly tell you how, but there shold be an option to start a slideshow within that picture viewer
[02:18] <evasive> the machine will bounce back somehting like an "I/O error" repeting over and over
[02:18] <Flannel> evasive: Have you verified the CD?
[02:18] <panfist> i know they will play as long as you have the right codecs but i have a slow cpu and i dont think it can handle anything at 720p or higher
[02:18] <MasterShrek> craigbass1976, you could try setting that up and using xvidcap (making sure to use capture sound) and making a video file out of it all
[02:18] <K_Dallas> Benalex, i used to have 4 back when i was using unix
[02:18] <craigbass1976> MasterShrek, can I make a quicktime movie of something like that?
[02:18] <MasterShrek> evasive, tried the alternate installer?
[02:18] <evasive> and on an intel it works fine
[02:19] <MasterShrek> craigbass1976, possible, an mpeg or avi is probabyl easier
[02:19] <corruptionoflulz> K_Dallas: gnome should have 2 workspaces in the bottom right by default..
[02:19] <Flannel> K_Dallas: in gconf, its /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces
[02:19] <craigbass1976> MasterShrek, right.  One of those
[02:19] <K_Dallas> corruptionoflulz, the default is 2, right
[02:19] <K_Dallas> Flannel, thanik you
[02:19] <corruptionoflulz> K_Dallas: you can just right click the workspaces, and change the settings
[02:19] <K_Dallas> will try that too
[02:19] <Kavok> Is there anyway to trouble shoot my wireless to figure out whats going wrong?
[02:19] <toodles> panfist: In that case I don't know. I have a fast cpu and an intel card and have no problems. I don't know how graphics hardware is used when it comes to video playback.
[02:19] <corruptionoflulz> K_Dallas: assuming you have the workspace switcher on the bottom right...
[02:19] <K_Dallas> thank you all
[02:19] <Bakefy> well, thanks all and goodnight!
[02:19] <owoc> How i Can deleate partition witch  padlock ?????????
[02:20] <K_Dallas> corruptionoflulz, should be there if it is the default
[02:20] <MasterShrek> Kavok, whats the problem? what kinda wifi card?
[02:20] <Flannel> !wifi | Kavok
[02:20] <ubotu> Kavok: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:20] <MasterShrek> owoc, you need root priviledges
[02:20] <Kavok> MasterShrek: Atheros AR5007EG I had to use ndiswrapper, Its installed .. I can see networks, I can click connect, but it won't connect
[02:20] <owoc> whats priviledges
[02:20] <Kavok> MasterShrek: Security being on or off doesnt seem to matter
[02:20] <MasterShrek> !sudo | owoc
[02:20] <ubotu> owoc: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:21] <evasive> MasterShrek: I know the CD is good because I can install 7.10 on my laptop
[02:21] <didie> Does anyone have a documentation about CVS instalation and configuration?
[02:21] <MasterShrek> evasive, there is an alternate installer cd, that may work
[02:21] <panfist> toodles amd and nvidia cards can take over some of the duty or decoding the video as long as the proper software is used, in windows the software is pretty crappy but its coming along. i was wondering if such a thing existed yet for linux or if no one has bothered to work on it yet
[02:21] <panfist> its for a HTPC
[02:21] <MasterShrek> Kavok, tried using the terminal to set it up?
[02:21] <evasive> Flannel: I had to download Ubuntu 6 and IT worked
[02:21] <Kavok> MasterShrek: I have a forum thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=632115
[02:21] <Kavok> MasterShrek what do you mean ?
[02:22] <sproingie> i don't guess that the avivo stuff works on linux.  no idea about purevideo
[02:22] <MasterShrek> Kavok, tried connecting using terminal commands instead of the gui one?
[02:22] <Kavok> MasterShrek: I have no idea how to do that
[02:23] <rpj8> When I make a change to .Xdefaults in order to change settings in xterm, how do I refresh xterm with these new settings?
[02:23] <MasterShrek> Kavok, open a terminal. sudo iwlist ath0 scan    this will give you a list of networks (assuming your wifi card is labeled ath0)
[02:23] <toodles> panfist: I'd like to know this myself. Sorry I'm of no help to you there.
[02:23] <evasive> also, are there any Gentoo users here?
[02:23] <MasterShrek> Kavok, sudo iwconfig ath0 essid <network name>       this will associate it with an access point
[02:23] <sproingie> evasive: i bet there's bunches in #gentoo
[02:23] <MasterShrek> Kavok, sudo dhclient3 ath0      this will grab an ip address (assuming there is no encryption)
[02:23] <ohok> evasive- yes but they are busy waiting for their source to compile
[02:23] <evasive> how do I get there?
[02:23] <evasive> LOL
[02:24] <panfist> sproingie and toodles the reason i ask is that i have an AMD 2800+ socket 939 so I really can't upgrade the processor right now. if i upgraded the processor i would also have to get a new motherboard and i was hoping i could make the system last a little longer by upgrading the video card
[02:24] <evasive> ohok: :)
[02:24] <evasive> so how do I go into that chat room?
[02:24] <rpj8> evasive: /join #gentoo
[02:24] <MasterShrek> evasive, type: /join #gentoo
[02:24] <rpj8> When I make a change to .Xdefaults in order to change settings in xterm, how do I refresh xterm with these new settings?
[02:24] <ohok> evasive- how did you ever get *here* ?
[02:25] <panfist> will a 2800+ be able to playback 720p in linux very well? it handles most of it ok in windows
[02:25] <MasterShrek> rpj8, close xterm and reopen it
[02:25] <rpj8> MasterShrek: Ah. I must be doing something wrong then
[02:25] <MasterShrek> panfist, i should think so
[02:25] <evasive> ohok: I just opened this chat program and here I am
[02:25] <ohok> actually i have an ubuntu not a gentoo question
[02:25] <ohok> evasive- hahaha
[02:25] <ohok> my question is where is gpm ?
[02:25] <MasterShrek> rpj8, close all instances of xterm maybe?
[02:25] <ohok> I can see it in apt-cache search
[02:25] <ohok> but apt won't install it !
[02:25] <rpj8> MasterShrek: Pretty sure I did
[02:26] <kelsin> rpj8: you might need to run "xrdb -load .Xdefaults"
[02:26] <evasive> ohok: have some sympathy, I'm a noob
[02:26] <Kavok> MasterShrek: give me a min
[02:26] <kelsin> rpj8: and I think the new place for this is .Xresources
[02:26] <ohok> just kiddin ya
[02:26] <didie> Can anyone help me installing a CVS?
[02:26] <rpj8> kelsin: I see. So I should dump my stuff in .Xresources then
[02:26] <MasterShrek> didie, of what?
[02:26] <evasive> THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS!
[02:26] <ohok> thanks for all the fish...
[02:26] <MasterShrek> damn dolphins...
[02:26] <MasterShrek> =P
[02:26] <panfist> mastershrek can you point me to a guide or website that will help me find and install the most efficient decoder/video player? i want the system to be as lean as possible so i can minimize any lag when decoding
[02:27] <ohok> so anyone know why a package would be in apt-cache but apt wont instal it?
[02:27] <panfist> mastershrek i think there are like 2 decoding paths, gstreamer and something else? how do they compare?
[02:27] <MasterShrek> panfist, well, you probably want to go with a leaner version of ubuntu, i would suggest fluxbuntu, i use xine for videos
[02:27] <kelsin> rpj8: I think so, I think Xdefaults was dropped a while ago, the main issue is without restarting your xsession I'm pretty sure you have to run that command on the file
[02:28] <kelsin> ohok: what package?
[02:28] <ohok> gpm
[02:28] <MasterShrek> panfist, i usually install all the gstreamer plugins, as well as everything (aside from a few things like googleearth) from medibuntu
[02:28] <Kavok> MasterShrek: It seems to be working now. If I had a LAN ethernet connection and a wifi connection going to the same DHCP router would that cause a problem?
[02:28] <MasterShrek> !info gpm
[02:28] <didie> MasterShrek have you ever installed a CVS?
[02:28] <ubotu> gpm: General Purpose Mouse Interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.19.6-25 (gutsy), package size 372 kB, installed size 708 kB
[02:28] <MagicFab_> When upgrading a kernel, how can I specify how many older options to keep ? It seems Ubuntu only keeps the latest 3.
[02:28] <MasterShrek> Kavok, i dont think so
[02:28] <happyman> H0130
[02:29] <Kavok> MasterShrek: Well its working now and I have no idea why
[02:29] <kelsin> ohok: I assume you have universe enabled?
[02:29] <MasterShrek> ohok, you have universe enabled?
[02:29] <ohok> so do I shrek
[02:29] <ohok> but I spoze its worht a check
[02:29] <panfist> i was thinking of going with mythbuntu which runs xfce, or just regular ubuntu. the system has 1 gig of ram. does the desktop environment really use that many cpu cycles when it's playing video?
[02:29] <Kavok> MasterShrek: The only difference was I had an ethernet cable plugged in before
[02:29] <ohok> hey that almost rhymed
[02:29] <kelsin> what is aptitude ot apt-get saying, just that it can't find gpm?
[02:29] <MasterShrek> panfist, with one gig of ram, i wouldnt worry about any of that
[02:30] <ohok> it would appear my sources.list got borked
[02:30] <evasive> greetings, just finished compiling gnome 2.20 but it wont load on my gentoo server
[02:30] <kelsin> evasive: I would check in #gentoo
[02:30] <MasterShrek> !source-o-matic | ohok
[02:30] <ubotu> ohok: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic

[02:30] <nucky> vmware-server upgraded today, now i cant login remotely via the vmware server console
[02:31] <MasterShrek> evasive, if you are a noob, like you claim to be, why are you using gentoo?
[02:31] <uKKeMan> damn i hate that :)
[02:31] <nucky> i tried the suggested pam changes from the wiki
[02:31] <nucky> no luck though
[02:31] <adamonline45> !codecs
[02:31] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[02:31] <nucky> still get username / password invalid
[02:31] <uKKeMan> gutsy finds it automatically but when i try to configure it with the xorg conf its not working
[02:31] <MasterShrek> nucky, is it listening on a different port than before?
[02:31] <uKKeMan> the tablet
[02:31] <nucky> no
[02:31] <ohok> Shrek- clearly evasive is a gentoo mole.
[02:32] <MasterShrek> it appears that way ohok
[02:32] <firefly2442> Is there a way I can MD5sum an entire directory and get back one value for the whole directory?
[02:32] <nucky> went from 1.0.4 feisty1 to 1.0.4 feisty3 build
[02:32] <lucienium> Hi guys. My System Sounds loop non-stop once they start playing. For instance, if there's a login system sound set and I login, the login sound playsback endlessly until I restart the system. Please help ;-(
[02:32] <evasive> when I hit "startx" it gives me a lousy desktop made of 2 colors
[02:32] <nucky> MasterShrek where could i check for the port change
[02:32] <kelsin> evasive: go ask in #gentoo
[02:32] <MasterShrek> firefly2442, i doubt it, compress it to a tar.bz2 or something then md5sum it
[02:32] <ohok> lol kellsin
[02:33] <evasive> quit
[02:33] <MasterShrek> nucky, not really sure, the settings or something in vmware (sorry havent used vmware in ages)
[02:33] <uKKeMan> anyone here has an graphictablet working with the wacom on gutsy?`
[02:33] <nucky> port 902
[02:33] <MasterShrek> uKKeMan, do you get any errors? look in /var/log/Xorg.log.0
[02:33] <firefly2442> Is there some technical reason why a directory can't be MD5ed?
[02:33] <uKKeMan> yeah i get errors
[02:34] <lucienium> I also tried disabling all the system sounds then restarting my system. When I started my system again then set a system sound for checking a box, it starting playing back nonstop after being initiated once
[02:34] <ohok> I have an Aiptek, but havent had time to install it yet... :|
[02:34] <kelsin> firefly2442: well there are many different ways it can be done, it's not defined
[02:34] <firefly2442> MasterShrek: yeah, it sort of defeats the purpose though, I just want to check if two directories are the same without using diff
[02:34] <nucky> i think i found the error
[02:34] <kelsin> firefly2442: why without diff?
[02:35] <MasterShrek> firefly2442, what you got against diff?
[02:35] <nucky> the /etc/xinetd.d/vmware-authd file has the wrong path
[02:35] <firefly2442> kelsin: the directories are on two different computers
[02:35] <MasterShrek> nucky, thatll do it
[02:35] <kelsin> firefly2442: I think the tar gzip is your best bet
[02:35] <nucky> this /usr/sbin/vmware-authd no longer exists
[02:35] <lucienium> anyone?
[02:35] <kelsin> firefly2442: or just tar right into md5
[02:36] <nucky> it's in /etc/pam.d
[02:36] <kelsin> "tar -c dir | md5"
[02:36] <uKKeMan> MasterShrek, the funny thing is.. it is working buuut not through the xorg.conf cause i get "device not found" errors there.. thats the point why setting the option isnt working there
[02:36] <strike1> anyone know how to enable X forwarding from a Ubuntu server box, I'm using ssh -X user@myserver and then type xclock but it says: Error: Can't open display: localhost:0
[02:36] <goldbond_> hello. i am about to replace my video card with a nvidia geforce 7600. do i need to install any drivers before hand or do i just pop it in?
[02:36] <uKKeMan> MasterShrek, but why does it work then?! if the init fails during start of X?!
[02:36] <firefly2442> kelsin, MasterShrek: alright, thanks for the help :)
[02:37] <ohok> uKKeMan- if you get it working in tty be sure to let me know...
[02:37] <don_pucci> hey all
[02:37] <Condoulo> ok, I have a question. my menus are screwed up, and I tried reverting it, but the Internet, and graphics menu no longer show. Anybody know how I can revert it to default?
[02:37] <MasterShrek> i dont know uKKeMan, i have no experience with tablets
[02:37] <don_pucci> this is the second time doing an update has broken my wireless networking
[02:37] <don_pucci> any ideas
[02:37] <NYCThomasB> hi all - my wireless card can see all available networks in range but will not connect to any.  any thoughts?
[02:37] <uKKeMan> ohok: its funny its working already but not during xorg.conf
[02:38] <kelsin> firefly2442: System -> Prefs -> Main Menu and check out what it's doing? I think there is a revert option that will remove custimizations in your home dir (as long as your actual system menu folders aren't ruined)
[02:39] <ohok> NYC- how many networks do you *have*?
[02:39] <nucky> nope i was wrong
[02:39] <firefly2442> kelsin: think that was meant for someone else :)
[02:39] <nucky> the /usr/sbin/vmware-authd is a binary file
[02:39] <ohok> NYCThomasB - also where in NYC are you ?
[02:39] <heartsblood> Does anybody know if there is a linux utility that can help configure high end mice like the logitech g7-g9 line?
[02:39] <kelsin> firefly2442: yep, I've done that like 5 times tonight :-(
[02:39] <don_pucci> stupid updates
[02:39] <don_pucci> wtf
[02:39] <MasterShrek> nucky, of course it is, its in /usr/sbin
[02:39] <kelsin> Condoulo: System -> Prefs -> Main Menu and check out what it's doing? I think there is a revert option  that will remove custimizations in your home dir (as long as your actual system menu folders aren't ruined)
[02:39] <CapaH> Does anyone know of a good SEGA Genesis emulator? One that works with a game controller?
[02:39] <CapaH> usb game controller saitek
[02:39] <lucienium> Guys, a little help with the non-stop looping of system sounds. It doesn't happen with Pidgen or other sounds initiated by applications.
[02:40] <dhude> hey I want to install flash player
[02:40] <Condoulo> kelsin- I closed Menu editor, re-opened, and then the revert button worked.
[02:40] <dhude> but I'm stuck on the extracter thing
[02:40] <MasterShrek> dhude, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:40] <nucky> is there a channel for vmware on ubuntu?
[02:40] <dhude> thank you
[02:40] <colin__> anybody have any mixer recomendations? is there a mixer plugin for rhythmbox??
[02:40] <ohok> hey SHrek thanks for the tip, I wouldn't have immediately guessed my sources got all wiggy
[02:40] <NYCThomasB> ohok - e33rd st.  i am connected to wired net. dont have my own wireless.  just got wireless card working and now want to test it.  i should be able to connect to an unsecured wireless network that i can see. a number near me have strong signal.
[02:41] <MasterShrek> nucky, i dont think its ubuntu-specific, #vmware may help...if its even a channel
[02:41] <kelsin> NYCThomasB: it is possible those people use mac filtering, most routers come with that now... so it's *possible* that you're all set
[02:41] <MasterShrek> nucky, it is
[02:41] <ohok> NYCThomasB- up on E 33 you may be *just* out of range of WiFiNY.net
[02:41] <colin__> anybody have any mixer recomendations? is there a eq mixer plugin for rhythmbox??
[02:42] <ohok> too bad bc its like the best provider in the city
[02:42] <bazhang> nucky: vmware has an active forum you can check www.vmware.com
[02:42] <nucky> ok
[02:42] <MasterShrek> colin__, xmms has one
[02:42] <colin__> yeah wtf though i wanna use rythmbox
[02:42] <nucky> bazhang: ive just seen where in there they dont really support the package install
[02:42] <NYCThomasB> kelsin - i was thinking that.  reinstall of 7.10 helped with last night's issue btw.
[02:42] <NYCThomasB> ohok: how would i try to connect to that?
[02:42] <Crankymonky> Anyone know why evince may not be showing me my text in a pdf unless I highlight it?
[02:42] <bazhang> nucky: what seems to be the problem?
[02:42] <goldbond_> hello. i am about to replace my video card with a nvidia geforce 7600. do i need to install any drivers before hand or do i just pop it in? i have googled and can't find anything
[02:43] <don_pucci> after latest round of updates...i have no more wireless network
[02:43] <don_pucci> any ideas
[02:43] <kelsin> Crankymonky: bad text colors, is it a pdf that you made, or one on the internet somewhere?
[02:43] <ohok> you would have to go to their site, contact them, have them do a site survey
[02:43] <MasterShrek> Crankymonky, can you change the default font in it?
[02:43] <ohok> however you most likely are outside the range
[02:43] <Crankymonky> kelsin, from my university
[02:43] <NYCThomasB> ohok: oh, ok :)
[02:43] <defyence> Anyone want to help a newbie compile her first source code? :D Pidgin 2.3.0
[02:43] <kelsin> defyence: any reason you don't want to use the package in ubuntu?
[02:43] <ohok> they go all the way out to Maclaren pool or whatever its called but there are no buildings in the way
[02:43] <ohok> just the east river
[02:44] <andruk> can you sell the right to see the source code of GPL software?
[02:44] <ax3> hey guys, i need a software that can record video of me programming under ubuntu
[02:44] <ax3> this exist?
[02:44] <ohok> andruk- no way dude
[02:44] <Crankymonky> MasterShrek, I guess I could output the whole pdf into text and remake it, but that wouldn't be solving the problem:P
[02:44] <MasterShrek> defyence, sudo apt-get install build-essential       you need this for compilers and such
[02:44] <defyence> kelsin: I figured it'd be a nice start for getting used to the process
[02:44] <ax3> i'd like to put together some tutorials
[02:44] <NYCThomasB> oh ok.  im off 2nd - close to river.  will look into it, thx
[02:44] <MasterShrek> Crankymonky, tried a different pdf viewer?
[02:44] <Flannel> ax3: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts
[02:44] <andruk> ohok: can you tell me how to get the source for baudline: http://www.baudline.com/source_code.html
[02:44] <ax3> Flannel, THANKS!
[02:44] <ohok> andruk- didn't you see the story today about the break the seal license ?
[02:44] <kelsin> defyence: ahhh, read the README file and the INSTALL file in the pidgin code, and run "sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin" before you do it, should be all set
[02:45] <andruk> ohok: because it does not appear to be "free" as in beer...and no i didnt see that...?
[02:45] <Crankymonky> MasterShrek, Nope.  about to now
[02:45] <Vad1> If bzr didn't finish - the connection was interrupted, is there any way I can get it to continue? It just complains that the folder already exists.
[02:45] <adamonline45> I have two computers with gigabit ethernet, connected through a gigabit hub.  I only seem to be getting 13MB/s though.  Is this a Samba thing, an ubuntu thing, or... should I quit my whining with 13MB/s?
[02:45] <jimmygoon> Is anyone else having problems w/ gmail imap or msn
[02:45] <ax3> 13mb/sec is unacceptable
[02:45] <ax3> for gbit
[02:45] <LimCore> how to set which user can use su or sudo with OWN password to become reoot
[02:45] <MasterShrek> adamonline45, quit whining!
[02:45] <MasterShrek> =P
[02:46] <Ssam> i need for soemoen to explain me what to do in this link
[02:46] <ohok> andruk- I have seen that site b4 but did not recall it being *gpl*
[02:46] <lordikyiky> join #ubuntu-georgia
[02:46] <MasterShrek> LimCore, sudo visudo
[02:46] <Ssam> can anyone help me in that
[02:46] <defyence> kelsin: Thanks :) MasterShrek, too
[02:46] <Ssam> http://www.linux.com/articles/56642
[02:46] <bazhang> Ssam: in what?
[02:46] <dhude> hey my youtube is f****d up
[02:46] <ohok> andruk- you have asked a very interesting question!
[02:46] <andruk> ohok: From the site: "Purchase the GPL source code for the baudline signal analyzer."  Any ideas?
[02:46] <dhude> just afetr installing the plugins
[02:46] <ohok> yes I just read that
[02:47] <Ssam> i am very enw ot linux
[02:47] <adamonline45> ax3: Do you have any thoughts as to why I might be sufferiing so?  I was thinking my downstream router (100Mb/sec) might be limiting it, but even so, 13MB/s is more than its capacity, so I don't think that's it...
[02:47] <Flannel> defyence: You usually don't need to get used to compiling in distros that are binary package based.
[02:47] <Ssam> i dont noe what to do in that
[02:47] <Ssam> i created a file i pasted what it said
[02:47] <LimCore> MasterShrek: ok.. or add to a group right?
[02:47] <Ssam> and i executed it with chmod
[02:47] <kelsin> andruk: alert the FSF foundation, sounds like are not following the GPL since their price sounds more then the cost of them duplicating the code for you, but past that we can't help you get the code
[02:47] <Ssam> now i cant seem to paste it
[02:47] <MasterShrek> LimCore, yea
[02:47] <defyence> flannel: Thanks for the heads up, I dunno why I just think I'd like to learn things like this.
[02:47] <bazhang> Ssam: if you specify your problem then we can likely find a response
[02:47] <Vad1> Anyone a bzr expert?
[02:47] <Flannel> !compile | defyence

[02:47] <ohok> I andruk- IANAL (but I'm sure as H*** going to ask one about this!)
[02:48] <Flannel> defyence: Just make sure to put stuff you compile in /opt or /usr/local

[02:48] <Ssam> i dont noe how to copy the file to bin
[02:48] <sproingie> andruk: see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html for how you report 'em
[02:48] <bazhang> Ssam: what is the program's name?
[02:48] <ax3> adamonline45, ethernet frame issues?
[02:49] <ohok> man I love gpm but I wish I knew how to set it up without apt !
[02:49] <ax3> window size might be limiting you
[02:49] <Ssam> flv2avi
[02:49] <Ssam> its a code
[02:49] <Ssam> i need help in compiling the program
[02:49] <mneptok> andruk: it's not illegal to sell GPL source.
[02:49] <bazhang> Ssam: why not just view it in flv?
[02:49] <ohok> mnetok- I think you are right, but at the same time....
[02:49] <defyence> Thanks flannel!@
[02:49] <mneptok> andruk: it *IS* illegal to *ONLY* sell it
[02:49] <Ssam> because i need to forward them at times
[02:49] <jsoftw> What program can I use to convert a .ps to a .pdf ?
[02:50] <kelsin> andruk: but their version they offer on their site is NOT GPL. so I think they're fine
[02:50] <ohok> anyone could buy the baudline code and just give it away
[02:50] <Ssam> and i sometimes want to view on xp
[02:50] <mneptok> !info ps2pdf
[02:50] <Ssam> which dosent have an flv player
[02:50] <ubotu> Package ps2pdf does not exist in gutsy
[02:50] <Ssam> and i dont want to install it
[02:50] <bazhang> Ssam: flv's can be forwarded
[02:50] <Ssam> people rnt allowed
[02:50] <sproingie> mneptok: it is illegal to charge more than for the cost of distribution if they already distributed the software to you
[02:50] <Crankymonky> Okay, so MasterShrek I just checked, loads fine in xpdf
[02:50] <kelsin> andruk: the part I don't understand is once you buy it, how they prevent you from also distributing it... but I'm not a gpl expert by any stretch
[02:50] <firefly2442> kelsin: does this, "tar -c dir | md5" actually create the tar file and store it someplace or pipe it straight into MD5?
[02:50] <sproingie> now if they didn't distribute the software at all to you, then they don't have to do jack -- they just can't stop anyone else from giving you the source
[02:50] <ohok> kelsin- don't they need to change their wording a bit?
[02:50] <kelsin> firefly2442: pipe it strait in
[02:51] <Ssam> so can u help me in what the site is saying?
[02:51] <IdleOne> !info clive | Ssam
[02:51] <ubotu> ssam: clive: Video extraction utility for YouTube and Google Video. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 31 kB, installed size 172 kB
[02:51] <MasterShrek> Crankymonky, then use xpdf
[02:51] <ohok> as it is it says "buy the rights to read the source code" or pretty close
[02:51] <Ssam> but what about XP
[02:51] <firefly2442> kelsin: nice! that's handy because I don't have enough HD space, thanks ;)
[02:51] <kelsin> ohok: I have no idea abou the legality or working on the source, just commenting that the free download they offer is NOT gpl licensed
[02:51] <bazhang> Ssam: get miro to download the flv, or go to youtubex.com to paste in the code and get them that way VLC will be able to show them on any machine, xp, mac, or linux
[02:51] <Ssam> i need an avi to work for xp
[02:51] <Anio> hi
[02:51] <Ssam> soemtimes i forward it to my friends
[02:51] <viro> did any one have  problem  making the  install for kiba dock
[02:51] <kelsin> firefly2442: yeah, pipes are your friend
[02:51] <bazhang> Ssam: get vlc
[02:51] <Anio> I have a question about multi-language Ubuntu...is it possible to change the language on-the-fly?
[02:51] <ax3> adamonline45, lots of goodies under /proc/sys/ipv4 lookie lookie
[02:51] <ohok> that's ironic, the free dl is non-gpl.... but you can *buy* the gpl'd version
[02:51] <ohok> lol
[02:51] <bazhang> Ssam: works for xp too
[02:52] <Ssam> VLC will convert flv to avi?
[02:52] <Anio> ie, if I have more than one user, and each wants a different language
[02:52] <Ssam> not allowed to install anything at work
[02:52] <jsoftw> Cmon guys, how do I convert a postscript ( *.ps ) to a pdf? :)
[02:52] <Anio> ssam: VLC lets you save the stream as any format you want, but it's not very efficient
[02:52] <bazhang> Ssam: don't need to
[02:52] <kelsin> ohok: as far as I know is legal, the wierd thing is that once I (for instance) buy it, I think I would be able to modify and distribute for free if I wanted to... not sure
[02:52] <ohok> ghostscript works for me
[02:52] <Anio> any video it plays can be saved
[02:52] <ohok> or there is text2pdf
[02:52] <kelsin> jsoftw: ps2pdf
[02:52] <jsoftw> kelsin: its not in 7.10
[02:52] <bazhang> Ssam: you can put vlc on a usb stick
[02:52] <Ssam> okay i ahve vlc
[02:52] <kelsin> jsoftw: I have it installed by magic then
[02:52] <Ssam> how i convert videos from it
[02:53] <ohok> the former has greater power, the later is simplifioed for a single task
[02:53] <stefano> jsoftw, http://www.ps2pdf.com/
[02:53] <Ssam> lol but i need to convert it
[02:53] <andruk> kelsin: then why do they say "Purchase the GPL source code for the baudline signal analyzer."  They are also listed on Freshmeat.  I understand that people can dual-license, and therein may lie the problem, if there is one.  Your thoughts?
[02:53] <ax3> adamonline45, also consider the possibility of driver issues of your networking gear
[02:53] <kelsin> andruk: I have no idea :)
[02:53] <Crankymonky> MasterShrek, But I like evince more:P
[02:53] <Anio> ssam, in the "Open file" menu, at the bottom you have the option to "save stream"
[02:53] <bazhang> http://digg.com/tech_news/Use_VLC_to_convert_videos_for_iPod_or_to_mpg,_avi Ssam
[02:53] <Ssam> brb
[02:53] <jsoftw> kelsin: whats its package name then?
[02:53] <Anio> I'm talking about the Windows version, not sure if the GUI is different for Linux
[02:53] <andruk> kelsin: okay, thanks again.
[02:54] <cronik> hello everyone.
[02:54] <ohok> andruk- again this is a really good question and they may in fact be in violation
[02:54] <don_pucci> so..after the last set of updates i no longer have funtioning wireless networking...
[02:54] <bazhang> Ssam: first link on google
[02:54] <onats> anyone have an idea how i can download torrents on a second computer on my network, while controlling it on the first one?
[02:54] <don_pucci> any ideas
[02:54] <ohok> IANAL
[02:54] <cronik> use vnc
[02:54] <ax3> ssh?
[02:54] <Flannel> onats: ssh
[02:54] <ax3> nx?
[02:54] <ax3> vnc?
[02:54] <ax3> take ur pic
[02:54] <ax3> pick*
[02:54] <cronik> onats:use vnc
[02:54] <kelsin> jsoftw: I have mine from the ghostscript package
[02:54] <cronik> is simple
[02:54] <ax3> nx > vnc
[02:55] <jsoftw> kelsin: ok thanks.
[02:55] <onats> so its really some sort of remote access....
[02:55] <don_pucci> anyone?
[02:55] <Anio> can no one answer my question? Is it possible to have different users use Ubuntu in a different language?
[02:55] <kelsin> onats: use rtorrent
[02:55] <bazhang> onats: vnc and rtorrent
[02:55] <Flannel> Anio: Of course
[02:55] <kelsin> onats: and ssh, and maybe screen
[02:55] <onats> ok ill check that rtorrent
[02:55] <stefano> Anio, yes it is
[02:55] <bazhang> Anio: yes
[02:55] <onats> on another note, who's using apt-cacher here?
[02:55] <adamonline45> ax3: Alright, I'll check those out... Thanks 8)
[02:56] <Goosemoose> im doing a preseed for a network install. can't figure out why the following wont work, i get no gui
[02:56] <Goosemoose> tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard,edubuntu-desktop
[02:56] <Anio> Thank you. I wasn't sure it was possible, because Windows doesn't let you except for one version.
[02:56] <stefano> Anio, type in the username. change the language in gdm and log in, do the same with your other user and you're set.
[02:56] <kelsin> onats: rtorrent lets you set a directory to "watch" and immediately start up torrent you place in it, so it can be as easy as scping a file over to the other computer, if you have rtorrent running in a screen session you can ssh over later to check on it's status
[02:56] <ax3> do some digging on the ubuntuforums or make a posting if you haven't already adamonline45
[02:56] <stefano> hope that helps
[02:56] <Flannel> Anio: your users can be in different timezones too.  If you so desire.
[02:56] <stefano> they can even use different desktops and all
[02:56] <Anio> excellent
[02:57] <Anio> I'm finishing backups today, then formatting and installing Ubuntu tomorrow. Thanks for the info.
[02:57] <mneptok> onats: if you want to use BitTorrtent on a remote machine, or from a shell, BitTornado is the way to go.
[02:57] <mneptok> onats: and we use apt-cacher extensively, too
[02:58] <mneptok> (not surprisingly)
[02:58] <gstory> any reason to not add the Gutsy repositories to a Fiesty install?
[02:58] <onats> mneptok, how do i know if its working? i setup the repository on the other machine pointing to my 2nd machine, and it seems to be updating.. that works right?:D
[02:58] <mneptok> gstory: yes, many. don't.
[02:58] <stefano> gstory, yes
[02:59] <bazhang> gstory: severe breakage?
[02:59] <gstory> ok.  I kinda figured that.
[02:59] <don_pucci> anyone here know much about wireless networking
[02:59] <Flannel> gstory: Just upgrade.
[02:59] <kelsin> gstory: the packages are all build on different versions of the toolchain
[02:59] <stefano> don_pucci, just ask
[02:59] <gstory> I want to update my Postifx server but the 2.2 version is only on the Fiesty respositories.
[02:59] <kelsin> gstory: you can easily backport individual packages though if you only need a few
[02:59] <don_pucci> lol
[02:59] <don_pucci> stefano..i have like 8 times already
[02:59] <bazhang> perhaps don_pucci why not ask something specific
[02:59] <gstory> Guess I need to get the deb packages then.
[02:59] <don_pucci> so..after the last set of updates i no longer have funtioning wireless networking...
[03:00] <Flannel> !prevu | gstory
[03:00] <ubotu> gstory: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details
[03:00] <gstory> thanks
[03:00] <bazhang> don_pucci: can you be more precise?
[03:00] <mneptok> onats: if the machine is updatimg, it's working ;)
[03:00] <lucienium> hey guys, does anyone here know how to stop System Sounds from looping nonstop?
[03:00] <stefano> don_pucci, what kind of adapter do you use, do you use a native driver or ndiswrapper, do you use network manager?
[03:00] <don_pucci> ok...iwconfig returns nothing on essid
[03:01] <don_pucci> i am using network manager
[03:01] <onats> mneptok, alright..thanks!
[03:01] <don_pucci> it is an intel 2200bg
[03:01] <kelsin> Flannel: I guess I'm confused but does prevu do any cool features? I thought backporting was already a two line process
[03:01] <mneptok> onats: and it's BitTornado you want :)
[03:01] <don_pucci> worked fine up until these last updates
[03:01] <don_pucci> native driver
[03:01] <onats> mneptok, ok will check it out also... i'm just used to using azureus...
[03:01] <stefano> mh..
[03:02] <Flannel> kelsin: It makes backporting as easy as apt-get
[03:02] <navetz> how do i download opera
[03:02] <mneptok> onats: ping if you want config help. i'm one of the BitTorrent gurus for the company :)
[03:02] <kelsin> Flannel: it already is "apt-get build-dep <package> && apt-get source --compile <package>"
[03:02] <stefano> don_pucci, seems to me that this bug is already filed in launchpad, look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/141205 and see if you can find some answers
[03:02] <mneptok> navetz: i think they have a package in the partner repos
[03:02] <Flannel> kelsin: No.  That's not backporting.
[03:02] <onats> mneptok, great, fantastic.. will try it out.. i guess it has to be built from source right?
[03:02] <kelsin> Flannel: I see, what is that then?
[03:02] <mneptok> onats: no
[03:03] <navetz> mneptok: i cant find it do you know the repo
[03:03] <CoasterMaster> What is a good Python IDE for Ubuntu?
[03:03] <don_pucci> well..the update was not in september but this week
[03:03] <Flannel> kelsin: thats just downloading/compiling the packages from stuff already in the repos.  Thats equivalent of apt-get install <package>
[03:03] <mneptok> onats: sudo apt-get install bittornado openssh-server python-crypto
[03:03] <CoasterMaster> or at least the best way to develop python on ubuntu
[03:03] <kelsin> Flannel: not if you have the gutsy deb-src lines on a fiesty system
[03:03] <onats> mneptok, ok thanks! saving that...
[03:03] <mneptok> navetz: add it in the Synaptic repo interface

[03:04] <Flannel> kelsin: That'll still give you issues.  What about the dependencies that aren't satisfied from feisty?
[03:05] <kelsin> Flannel: that makes sense, none of the packages I've done have changed much to need new dependencies
[03:05] <don_pucci> can i delte my /etc/network/interfaces
[03:05] <don_pucci> will it get rebuilt
[03:05] <mneptok> kelsin: wait for a significant libc change between releases

[03:05] <IamReck> becuase i just didn't have to ask me mp3 question becuase i just did !mp3
[03:05] <IamReck> just a suggestion
[03:06] <jimmygoon> don_pucci, I can't say that sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure
[03:06] <mneptok> IamReck: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[03:06] <don_pucci> how do i backup the file again?
[03:06] <IdleOne> IamReck: if the topic included that then every new user comming in and every lamer would just start !fishing for info

[03:07] <IamReck> w.e. just an idea.
[03:07] <IamReck> better then having someone come in and ask the question, im just trying to give someone some more options.

[03:07] <eyemean> hello, i just tried the foloowing sudo svn checkout svn://svn.skolelinux.org/cinelerra/tags/r1_2_2-last/hvirtual, but i got connection refused, is there a reason for that pls/
[03:08] <IamReck> ah
[03:08] <don_pucci> mneptok so now what?
[03:08] <sleek> I want to get ubuntu on a laptop, but with the most minimal install as possible ... no gui, but if I need it later I'd like the option to add it ...
[03:08] <IamReck> okay IdleOne
[03:08] <sleek> what package should I use?
[03:08] <IamReck> i get it. ;) thanks. peace.
[03:08] <mneptok> don_pucci: what does ifconfig tell you?
[03:08] <IdleOne> IamReck: np :)
[03:09] <don_pucci> ifconfig and iwconfig have different things for my eth1 (wifi card)
[03:09] <mneptok> don_pucci: what does ifconfig tell you?
[03:09]  * genii sips a fruit juice
[03:09] <don_pucci> lots of stuff...what do u want me to post
[03:10] <eyemean> if a connection is refused, is that to do with the link or the firewall maybe?
[03:10] <Agent_bob> someone know how to find out what is using module "nfsd" so i can rmmod it ?
[03:10] <mneptok> don_pucci: pastebin the whole thing?
[03:10] <don_pucci> well..i cant seeing as i have no network connection
[03:11] <mneptok> don_pucci: sudo dhclient eth1
[03:11] <genii> try lsof|grep nfsd
[03:11] <Agent_bob> i have several modules that i want to "black list"   is there a generic black-list.conf ?
[03:12] <genii> yes
[03:12] <Agent_bob> genii that would only return the kernel wouldn't it
[03:12] <don_pucci> so..that did a few DHCPDISCOVER
[03:12] <don_pucci> then says no DHCPOFFERS received
[03:12] <stefano> Agent_bob, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[03:13] <genii> Agent_bob: the lsof may tell you whats open and using something nfs related
[03:13] <Agent_bob> stefano ty.
[03:13] <Agent_bob> genii blank
[03:14] <nucky> channel #vmware has yet to respond to any question of mine
[03:14] <genii> I forget offhand nfs port, perhaps 839. you can netstat to see if it's being used. Maybe check the port number , google or so
[03:14] <nucky> anyone know how to start the virtual machine without using some sort of remote console
[03:14] <don_pucci> no idea what that means
[03:14] <tomd123> nucky: remote console? what?
[03:15] <don_pucci> why would ifconfig and iwconfig say different things
[03:15] <stefano> is it possible to use virtualbox on a headless machine without any visual output and then connect to the (pre-setup) machines via ssh?
[03:15] <EdwardXP> does anyone know where i can download a visulation application that covers the whole background Desktop
[03:15] <tomd123> nucky: are you trying to view vmware through ssh w/ x tunneling?
[03:15] <EdwardXP> so like whe i play songs' or movies it runs on the background
[03:16] <meoblast001> how do i make CompizConfig have the rotate cube have the windows lift from the cube
[03:16] <dolphin_noel> EdwardXP if you want to put in background why you need one visualization?
[03:16] <TeslaDave> Does anyone know anything about port forwarding through linksys router, trying to have it so i can SSH into my gusty gibbon machine from elsewhere
[03:16] <don_pucci> just forward the port on your router
[03:16] <don_pucci> not sure about ssh
[03:16] <don_pucci> but rdp uses 3389
[03:16] <nucky> tomd123: no im just trying to start my virtual machines
[03:16] <EdwardXP> dolphin_noel,  remember that program for windows Windvd 7-8 ... and you could play a video in the background takes the whole desktop
[03:17] <nucky> the vmware server starts at boot fine
[03:17] <EdwardXP> and u can still access your poictures and folders when it ran in the back
[03:17] <EdwardXP> when* while
[03:17] <nucky> i just can connect via a remote console...pam auth is broken
[03:17] <xs4545x_> hey all
[03:17] <cha_> huyy
[03:17] <don_pucci> u still here mneptok?
[03:17] <dolphin_noel> EdwardXP this software is expensive ...
[03:18] <EdwardXP> whats' it called?
[03:18] <xs4545x_> i just got done looking in google and i'm sitting here in front of an oreilly book, trying to learn some bash scripting
