[07:35] <tach00_> sharms: now i am using k3b, but i have tried all of them that my system has including trying it from terminal
[07:35] <MachineHeD> i havent receved any errors or nothing
[07:36] <sharms> rixth: what did 855resolution tell you
[07:36] <sharms> tach00_: are you in the proper group?
[07:36] <ic56> MachineHeD: what kind of internet connectivity? wireless? dialup modem? high-speed through a wired ethernet card?
[07:36] <rixth> sharms, I use an nvidia chipset, so it wouldn't run/.
[07:36] <lakbu> can i install an ubuntu over the network?
[07:36] <CarlFK> MachineHeD: dmesg | less - look around for something interesting
[07:36] <Desh> Can anyone help with my fglrx issue: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17886
[07:36] <Warbo> lakbu: Debootstrap would help you there
[07:36] <rixth> sharms, NVIDIA chipset detected.  915resolution only works with Intel 800/900 series graphic chipsets.
[07:37] <tach00_> sharms: i would assume so, there is only 2 users on my machine, me and root, i thought i was in the only group available? please elaborate
[07:37] <lakbu> Warbo: thanks. can you give me the url?
[07:37] <CarlFK> lakbu: "yes", but it seems to be broken right now https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[07:37] <mzuverink> what is the dictionary that I need to install for spell checking in gedit?
[07:37] <lakbu> CarlFK, any alternative?
[07:38] <sharms> tach00_: #1: there is no root
[07:38] <MachineHeD> ?
[07:38] <mzuverink> A us english dictionary
[07:38] <garryF> Aww shoot Desh I just noticed that the hardware wiki specifies only ubuntu breezy version as supporting mobility 9700
[07:38] <Warbo> lakbu: Debootstrap is in Ubuntu (and Debian). You use it to install a basic system into a folder. If you mount the partition you want to use as root over NFS or something then you could use debootstrap on it from another machine (maybe from a LiveCD)
[07:38] <Vit7oO> now i can mount the ext3 partition it but only as root, how do i change this?
[07:38] <sharms> tach00_: #2: do these programs give any log files or error messages?
[07:38] <sharms> tach00_: does nautilus burn correctly?
[07:38] <rixth> sharms, http://pastie.caboo.se/4423 output from dccprobe
[07:39] <CarlFK> lakbu: I was able to get soemthing to work - like just ubuntu-server, then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:39] <lakbu> Warbo, thanks. ill google it.
[07:39] <tach00_> sharms: thats correct for ubuntu but a am having this problem with more than one machine, and i know its not the burner because i removed it from a machine that was working it perfectly
[07:39] <Warbo> Vit7oO: It will be mounted at boot if it is in fstab (and doesn't have a "noauto" option), so that should be fine
[07:39] <Tmob> anyone know where i can find libtoolize.. which package/
[07:39] <Tmob> ?
[07:39] <Desh> garryF: O_O Then what do I use for 3d for Dapper?
[07:39] <CarlFK> Tmob: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[07:39] <tach00_> sharms: no, they do nothing past where i tell it to burn
[07:39] <Vit7oO> thanks a lot warbo
[07:39] <Tmob> ah
[07:39] <garryF> I used an nvidia 6800 myself.
[07:39] <Warbo> Vit7oO: Other than that you may want to manage it with gnome-volume-manager, but I STILL haven't got my head around that
[07:40] <sharms> rixth: it looks to me like your video card is not capable of the resolution, are you running the nvidia drivers (like the ones you have to specifically install) or stock?
[07:40] <sharms> tach00_: try again, and then check your dmesg logs, and your /var/log/syslog
[07:40] <rixth> sharms, nvidia. I don't see 1280x1024 listed there either, though I had used that for over a year.
[07:40] <rendo> How do I change the port when running gdb?  Like command wise not overall wise
[07:41] <sharms> rixth: pastebin your whole xorg.conf
[07:41] <rixth> sharms, ok, gonna restart X first.
[07:41] <mzuverink> No one knows what dictionary package is necessary for gedit?
[07:41] <Kirk_> Hey.
[07:41] <sharms> mzuverink: I think ispell
[07:41] <Kirk_> So I installed VHCS2, www.vhcs.net, and I now get an error when I reboot apache.
[07:41] <Kirk_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17887
[07:41] <Kirk_> Is this anything critical?
[07:41] <mzuverink> sharms, thanks, I will try that.
[07:42] <Warbo> aspell I think, but does Gedit use dictionaries?
[07:42] <XrekcaH> ****Hey, How Do i Use A File Like "Filename.sh.bin"???****
[07:42] <rendo> How do I change the port when running gdb?  Like command wise not overall wise
[07:42] <Warbo> XrekcaH: "./filename.sh.bin" or "sudo ./filename.sh.bin"
[07:42] <Kirk_> As I said...
[07:42] <Kirk_> [00:41]  Kirk: So I installed VHCS2, www.vhcs.net, and I now get an error when I reboot apache.
[07:42] <Kirk_> [00:41]  Kirk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17887
[07:42] <Kirk_> [00:41]  Kirk: Is this anything critical?
[07:42] <sharms> Kirk_: why are you setting up a virtual host but not setting up a virtual host?
[07:43] <Warbo> XrekcaH: Or maybe "chmod u+x filename.sh.bin" first
[07:43] <Kirk_> I don't know... what should I set it to and where should I change it?
[07:43] <sharms> Kirk_: you are telling it to expect virtual hosts on an IP, but then not giving it any
[07:43] <XrekcaH> ok ill try
[07:43] <XrekcaH> but nothing is working
[07:43] <rixth> sharms, xorg.conf http://pastie.caboo.se/4424 log http://pastie.caboo.se/4425
[07:43] <mzuverink> Warbo, I am not sure, I am trying to get the spell checker in gedit to work
[07:43] <rixth> I tried using the nv driver
[07:43] <wheelswitch> i have a usb hdd, is it possible to check the temp with hddtemp?  how can i check what it is in /dev/
[07:43] <Kirk_> sharms: OK... well, where do I change that, and do I change it to "s1.alphahertz.com" or to "cust-71-13-112-47.atcyber.net"?
[07:43] <Warbo> mzuverink: I think that aspell is the main spellchecker GNOME/Ubuntu use, but I don't know if Gedit uses any
[07:44] <mzuverink> Warbo, ispell is not it
[07:44] <sharms> rixth: change the nv to nvidia under the driver section
[07:44] <Warbo> Is nvidia-glx a meta-package?
[07:44] <rixth> sharms, with the nv driver, I have 1280x1024 right now. Shall i restart X with nvidia?
[07:44] <J-_> I might just wait to try the ntfs drivers... buy another external hard drive and case, put the files on that after the drive is formatted to either ext3 or fat 32, and just put the 300gb drive i have right now into my linux system :D
[07:45] <wheelswitch> what is my usb hdd labled as in /dev ?
[07:45] <sharms> mzuverink: its aspell I believe
[07:45] <MachineHeD> how do i install nforce drivers
[07:45] <sharms> rixth: just give it a try then post the log and conf again
[07:45] <mzuverink> The spell checker is aspell for gedit, you need a dictionary for it to work
[07:45] <Kirk_> Sharms.. please answer my question.  :|  I'm irritated with this.
[07:46] <Warbo> Where would I file a bug about nvidia-glx's dependencies? (The package is not in LaunchPad)
[07:46] <mzuverink> sharms, aspell need a dict
[07:46] <Kirk_> It's times like this I wonder why I chose Unix.
[07:46] <Kirk_> :|
[07:46] <mzuverink> Warbo, aspell is it, it needs a dict
[07:46] <Warbo> mzuverink: Usually the "language-support" packages sort that out
[07:46] <wheelswitch> how do i find what my usb hdd is labled as in /dev/
[07:46] <CarlFK> can someone do play /usr/share/hwdb-client/sound.wav and tell me what the resulting "Time" is that gets printed at the end?  (should be about 2 seconds)
[07:46] <Warbo> wheelswitch: "fdisk -l" maybe
[07:47] <wheelswitch> Warbo:  cheers
[07:47] <mzuverink> Warbo, aspell installs with ubuntu-desktop, you just need to pick a dict
[07:47] <sharms> Kirk_: take a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnConfiguration/ApacheVoodoo?highlight=%28virtualhost%29   near the bottom
[07:47] <sharms> mzuverink: I use aspell-en
[07:47] <Kirk_> sharms: OK
[07:47] <tach00_> sharms: what exactly am i looking for, i did find something that might be of interest tho
[07:47] <Warbo> J-_: Write an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and put the subject as "Let us use your drivers"
[07:47] <tach00_> !pastebin
[07:47] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[07:48] <J-_> lmfao
[07:48] <Warbo> J-_: Well, the "captive" driver uses the Windows NTFS driver I think
[07:49] <tach00_> sharms: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17888
[07:49] <sharms> tach00_: anything that says anything about your cd device
[07:49] <xxyyzz> How do I find out if my computer has wireless or not? I'm not sure if Ubuntu is supposed to detect wireless 'cause I'm not sure if I have it or not, heh
[07:49] <MachineHeD> i need help connecting to the internet if somone could help please let me know ill give you any information that you need to help diagnose my problem
[07:49] <J-_> i might just make my p4 a barebone system with xp, write everything that's on my ext. drive on it.. convert it to fat32 and put teh stuff back on it
[07:49] <xxyyzz> It's a compaq presario v2000 ... I dunno if it comes with a wireless card =/
[07:49] <sharms> tach00_: it appears that the media you are using is bad
[07:50] <sharms> !tell xxyyzz about wireless
[07:50] <Warbo> xxyyzz: "lspci"?
[07:50] <J-_> then i'll be saying goodbye to windows forever *amen*
[07:50] <tach00_> sharms: it checked out with the m5sum
[07:50] <rixth> sharms, http://pastie.caboo.se/4426 now the resolution is 1024x768
[07:50] <Warbo> (that won't get PCMCIA, USB or other ones though)
[07:50] <rendo> Why can't anyone tell me how to change the port GDB uses from 4000 to something else when I try and run it without changing any files,  I just want to know HOW to set the port while I debug.
[07:50] <sharms> MachineHeD: state your question
[07:50] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: wireless can be a pci, usb or pccard device - I would do: sudo apt-get install lshw, then lshw|less to see what all you have
[07:51] <Warbo> J-_: If you are saying goodbye to Windows, why do you want to use NTFS?
[07:51] <sharms> tach00_: you can't check blank media md5sums
[07:51] <tach00_> sharms: if that were the case it would work sometimes, however  i have tried with movies, simple text files, and so on
[07:51] <xxyyzz> I used Warbo's command, and a whole bunch of stuff came up.
[07:51] <Warbo> CarlFK: PCMCIA, not PCCard dammit! :)
[07:51] <xxyyzz> But I didn't see the word "Wireless" anywhere...
[07:51] <CarlFK> rendo: cuz noone knows
[07:51] <tach00_> sharms:OOHH, you mean the disc are bad
[07:51] <J-_> if i need to take the drive else where i know i can use it, but the nagain fat32 will do that too
[07:51] <Warbo> xxyyzz: Any "802.11" anywhere?
[07:51] <garryF> Probably because nobody knows or understands the question or needs more info.
[07:51] <sharms> tach00_: one sec
[07:51] <xxyyzz> CarlFX, I can't apt-get anything 'cause the other computer isn't connected to the internet :(
[07:51] <rixth> sharms, would I get better results with a VGA cable maybe? Rather than DVI
[07:51] <tach00_> sharms: could all of them be bad?
[07:51] <CarlFK> Warbo: I still don't know the diff between the 2 :)
[07:52] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: lshw may be on the install CD
[07:52] <sharms> rixth:   Modeline "1920x1200"  189.78  1920 2048 2256 2592  1200 1201 1204 1241 -HSync +Vsync
[07:52] <MachineHeD> well i just finished installing ubuntu and when i went through the install it said checking dhcp or whatever and it didnt find anything ... and when it completed the install i tried to connect to the internet and nothing happened
[07:52] <Tedd> How can I play m4a in Banshee?
[07:52] <sharms> rixth: try adding that in your screen section
[07:52] <xxyyzz> Warbo, not that I can see
[07:52] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: hmm, not sure if the dapper thing uses the install CD anymore
[07:52] <MachineHeD> i dont know weather its my eathernet drivers or what
[07:52] <Warbo> CarlFK: The proper name is PCMCIA (People Can't Memorise Computer Industry Acronyms :)) but it is abbrieviated to PCCard, even though it works in loads of non-PC systems
[07:52] <rixth> sharms, where in that section?
[07:52] <sharms> MachineHeD: you need to make sure you are running a dhcp server first, in your router
[07:52] <sharms> Warbo: have him read the wireless guide
[07:52] <MachineHeD> i dont have a router
[07:52] <sharms> xxyyzz: read what ubotu messaged you
[07:52] <MachineHeD> just me and the modem
[07:53] <garryF> dialup?
[07:53] <sharms> MachineHeD: is it a different machine than what was previously hooked up?
[07:53] <Warbo> xxyyzz: Yeah, read the !wireless thing that was sent to you
[07:53] <xxyyzz> CarlFX, I typed "lshw" and a whole bunch of stuff came up... am I looking for Wireless?
[07:53] <xxyyzz> sharms, Warbo, will do
[07:53] <sharms> rixth: monitor section
[07:53] <J-_> Warbo: what's the best option i should go with...? i'm not going to blow it up either.
[07:53] <MachineHeD> not what do you mean?
[07:53] <rixth> sharms, 189.78 that is wayyy higher than the pixel clock on my screen (i think)
[07:53] <sharms> rixth: add it right under vertrefresh
[07:53] <rixth> ok
[07:53] <hayden> is it possible to downgrade from mysql5x to mysql4x using apt, if so how?
[07:53] <rixth> Restaring x...
[07:53] <CarlFK> MachineHeD: post the output of ifconfg to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org  (drag the mouse over it to 'select' it - middle click to paste
[07:54] <Warbo> Bye
[07:54] <sharms> rixth: I generated it using gft, do man gft to check it out
[07:54] <MachineHeD> the ipconfig in windows?
[07:54] <Kirk_> Help please.  :(     http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17889
[07:54] <garryF> ifconfig is in linux console
[07:54] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: lshw|less
[07:54] <xxyyzz> yep
[07:54] <xxyyzz> did that
[07:55] <CarlFK> MachineHeD: ifconfig in linux
[07:55] <sharms> tach00_: run cdrdao disk-info
[07:55] <xxyyzz> Is there a way to look for a specific string in 'less', like there is in nano (ctrl+w) ?
[07:55] <Kirk_> Why can't it determine the fully qualified domain name?
[07:55] <Kirk_> I told it it's s1.alphahertz.com and it IS!
[07:55] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: /string
[07:55] <MachineHeD> that means ill hve to restart my maching write it all down on paper then restart in windows again and paste it there
[07:55] <CarlFK> MachineHeD: yuck...
[07:55] <jpmk12> hello, can anyone help me get my wireless card working?
[07:55] <xxyyzz> CarlFX: so type: lshw | less /wireless <- is that right?
[07:55] <CarlFK> MachineHeD: um...
[07:55] <garryF> you can just use ifconfig at console
[07:55] <MachineHeD> im running on my windows partition right now till i get it figured out
[07:55] <garryF> terminal
[07:56] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: no. once you see stuff, hit /string
[07:56] <sharms> Kirk_: your /etc/hosts is setup incorrectly
[07:56] <xxyyzz> CarlFK, okay, what string am I looking for in the output of lshw ?
[07:56] <CarlFK> MachineHeD: yeah...
[07:56] <garryF> Oh
[07:56] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: tacos
[07:56] <Kirk_> sharms:  Ah, it is.
[07:56] <Kirk_> :)
[07:56] <xxyyzz> CarlFK, thanks, brb
[07:56] <sharms> :)
[07:56] <MachineHeD> so what should i do?
[07:56] <rixth> sharms http://pastie.caboo.se/4427
[07:57] <tach00_> sharms: ahaa! i think you found something http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17890
[07:57] <sharms> rixth: did you try it?
[07:57] <xxyyzz> CarlFK: I get "Pattern not found (Press Return)"
[07:57] <garryF> If you can get into linux, and have a memstick, save the output of the ifconfig to the stick, then use windows to paste to the pastebin.
[07:57] <tach00_> sharms: dont know thats telling me i have outdated driver or what
[07:57] <CarlFK> MachineHeD: any chance of getting a dialup connection ?
[07:57] <rixth> sharms, it is 1024x768
[07:57] <harisund> Does anybody know how to blank the screen when you have only the tty running?
[07:57] <MachineHeD> no
[07:57] <sharms> tach00_: what version of dapper are you running
[07:58] <sharms> rixth: post the log file again
[07:58] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: then there are no tacos in your box.  (
[07:58] <tach00_> 6.10
[07:58] <ilda> any chance that a " product: TORiSAN DVD-ROM DRD-U424" would be a burner is there ?
[07:58] <xxyyzz> CarlFK, what is tacos ? Is that wireless?
[07:58] <kakalto> sharms: "version of dapper"?
[07:58] <rixth> sharms, http://pastie.caboo.se/4427 its in there
[07:58] <kakalto> sharms: you mean version of ubuntu? dapper = 6.06
[07:58] <sharms> kakalto: I meant ubuntu :)
[07:58] <kakalto> lol
[07:58] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: no - sorry - I was kidding - tacos are .. mexican food
[07:58] <glDaher> hi, I have nvidia 6600 and running latest download of ubuntu... then I installed nvidia-glx ... but when I did the autoupdate it got a new kernel and X11 wont start.. tried dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx and same problem
[07:58] <xxyyzz> o0o0oh...
[07:58] <xxyyzz> ROFL
[07:58] <xxyyzz> I'm very slow today!
[07:58] <xxyyzz> Don't play tricks on me :P
[07:59] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: you were looking for something - I figured you knew what you were looking for
[07:59] <xxyyzz> Should I look for the string 'wireless'?
[07:59] <tach00_> sharms: dapper 6.06
[07:59] <jpmk12> Can someone here help me with my wireless config, I tried using the System > networking option, couldnt get anything, anyone have some ideas?
[07:59] <xxyyzz> CarlFK, I have no idea what 'lshw' returns =-/
[07:59] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: I would read the whole thing - it isnt that much
[07:59] <sharms> rixth: did it run 1920x1200 in windows?
[07:59] <xxyyzz> CarlFK, okay, but after I've read it, how will I know if it has wireless?
[07:59] <kakalto> glDaher: have you installed linux-restricted-modules?
[07:59] <rixth> sharms, can't try it
[07:59] <garryF> Well, I see one thing rixth thre is no load "dri" steatement
[08:00] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: im guessing if you have it you will know
[08:00] <rixth> Could that be it?
[08:00] <xxyyzz> lol, well I have no idea if I have it =-/
[08:00] <glDaher> kakalto: I'm not sure, but I did install a lot of packages, and kubuntu as well
[08:00] <garryF> shrugs. worth a try.
[08:00] <xxyyzz> I will read all the stuff that lshw says.
[08:00] <xxyyzz> bbs
[08:00] <hayden> how can i downgrade from mysql-server5.0 to 4.1 in apt?
[08:00] <kakalto> glDaher: well what error do you get when you try to startx
[08:00] <kakalto> ?
[08:01] <rixth> It seems the majority of FX5200s support 1920x1200. I have a generic brand though
[08:01] <jpmk12> no ideas for me?
[08:01] <MachineHeD> would it work if i ran ipconfig in ubuntu took a screenshot of everything and showed someone
[08:01] <glDaher> kakalto: cannot find nvidia kernel module
[08:01] <rixth> I have another fx5200. I should try that.
[08:01] <kakalto> glDaher: well, try installed restricted modules
[08:01] <NthDegree> yo how do i specify what glibc i want to use?
[08:01] <Desh> Should fglrx work if I am using 32bit ubuntu on a 64bit machine?
[08:01] <kakalto> *installing
[08:02] <MachineHeD> ?
[08:02] <garryF> Probably would MachineHeD
[08:02] <MachineHeD> k ill bbiaf
[08:02] <holycow> there is no ipconfig on linux
[08:02] <garryF> if pastebin takes graphics
[08:02] <holycow> its ifconfing on linux btw
[08:02] <glDaher> kakalto: thanks, I'll go just do it now, but apt-get install ????
[08:02] <CarlFK> MachineHeD: this will be better: boot linux, mount a floppy, redirect a buch of stuff to it:  lspci>/media/floppy/lspci.txt lshw>...
[08:02] <CarlFK> rats
[08:02] <garryF> Yeah, I try flippies but they flip out a lot.
[08:03] <J-_> can ntfs read or write from ext3?
[08:03] <glDaher> kakalto: I mean whats the name of package I'm looking for? since I cannot use synaptic to browse
[08:03] <kakalto>  glDaher: linux-restricted-modules-386 (assuming you run the -386 kernel)
[08:03] <netmonk> hello. since the update i made last night most of the programs I open have some "invisible" areas and I can't read text or see the buttons. any ideas?
[08:03] <glDaher> kakalto: yes thats what I'm running, ok I'll go try and brb
[08:03] <kakalto> glDaher: you can use 'apt-cache search <parameters>'
[08:03] <sharms> rixth: the monitor is definately capable, but it appears the card is not capable.  It is kinda capable, but not really. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=2543dbe6096571f723711a1f5b43997a&t=54969
[08:03] <garryF> rixth Might even try  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[08:04] <glDaher> kakalto: ooh cool. thx
[08:04] <rixth> sharms, yeah I am looking at that now
[08:04] <rixth> garryF, what does -phigh do?
[08:04] <Cody> Does anyone know why I have 100% cpu usage and cpu temp of 60 C?
[08:04] <rixth> My card is fanless for the record. Though I have one with a fan too
[08:04] <garryF> dunno but its in the xorg as a way to fix up inconsistancies if you have edited the xorg.conf
[08:04] <rixth> Cody, run top
[08:04] <QRZ> Cody:  What process is hogging CPU time?  Use top.
[08:04] <Cody> ok
[08:05] <Cody> modprobe
[08:05] <xxyyzz> CarlFK, there was lots of stuff about 'bridges' and 'hosts', but nothing about 'wireless' :(
[08:06] <garryF> !wireless
[08:06] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[08:06] <Cody> modprobe is using 70% cpu, xorg about 20%, and other stuff 10%
[08:06] <GStubbs43> Is their a program like activesnc, so I can connect my Windows Mobile Smartphone (Motorola MPx220) to Ubuntu?
[08:07] <sharms> tach00_: I didn't forget about you, go ahead and post on the forums to see if someone can help, I am heading off to bed.  One thing would be to try and get k3b logs and post them with your post
[08:07] <tach00_> sharms: thanks, i will keep looking
[08:07] <Cody> I ran top, and in order, gave me: modprboe, xorg, and gnome terminal.
[08:07] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: sudo lshw|xclip  middle click in  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[08:08] <sharms> tach00_: if you find a solution tonight /msg me so I know for the future
[08:08] <tach00_> sharms: will do
[08:08] <QRZ> Cody:  That's not right.  Modprobe should do it's thing, and then exit.  I'd investigate why modprobe is hung.
[08:08] <vigilante> Is this bug with the Kmenu known?  Is there a fix?
[08:08] <Kirk_> God this doesn't work!
[08:08] <verix> wow, flooded channel
[08:08] <Kirk_> :(
[08:09] <verix> was expecting maybe like 50 people
[08:09] <sharms> 738 is low
[08:09] <kakalto> verix: welcome to the world of IRC.
[08:09] <Cody> QRZ, how would I look into modprobe?
[08:09] <Cody> And what is modprobe?
[08:09] <verix> kakalto: I've been using IRC for quite a while, but thank you for the welcome :p
[08:09] <xxyyzz> CarlFX, the other computer isn't connected to the internet :(
[08:09] <Kirk_> Somebody help here?
[08:09] <paied> it was over 830 earlier
[08:09] <kakalto> verix: =D
[08:09] <xxyyzz> What should I be looking for?   Then, analyze your system logfiles for clues.
[08:10] <garryF> xgl sometimes doesn't play nice.
[08:10] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: may have to install xclip, but if no connection, don't bother
[08:11] <verix> yeah
[08:11] <verix> it seems to crash when I even try to config gnome screensavers
[08:11] <kakalto> xgl is nice when it plays nice =)
[08:11] <Cody> ok, and how do I analyze sys. log file?
[08:11] <verix> xgl is just fun to play with when it plays nice
[08:11] <garryF> hehe
[08:11] <verix> seriously I could spin that cube all day
[08:11] <CarlFK> xxyyzz: find the part that says "-network" and then look up the product and see what it is
[08:11] <Cody> Is it safe to kill modprobe?
[08:11] <QRZ> Cody:  They are located in /var/log
[08:11] <snoops> xgl and compiz absolutely rock my world
[08:11] <verix> I also love how the thing changes shape the more workspaces you add
[08:11] <snoops> one of the main reasons I use linux at home
[08:11] <Cody> thank you
[08:11] <kakalto> verix: I have xgl as default. I /do/ spin my cube all day =P
[08:11] <verix> snoops: xgl's the reason I finally went ahead and tried to dualboot
[08:12] <verix> hehe
[08:12] <QRZ> Cody:  You can cat them and pipe them to less for easy viewing.
[08:12] <Cody> ok
[08:12] <garryF> !xgl
[08:12] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[08:12] <verix> oh awesome, I'll remember that
[08:12] <snoops> verix what's your favourite function?
[08:12] <Cody> Its safe for me to kill modprobe?
[08:12] <verix> the help channel anyway
[08:12] <verix> snoops: how do you mean?
[08:12] <QRZ> Cody:  yes.
[08:12] <CarlFK> im off for the night
[08:13] <Cody> thank you
[08:13] <snoops> verix of compiz..
[08:13] <verix> ah
[08:13] <verix> probably wobbly
[08:13] <snoops> my favourite has to be ctrl+alt+page down
[08:13] <verix> hmm
[08:13] <snoops> but yeah can't do without wobbly
[08:13] <verix> when I get xgl installed again I'll try that
[08:13] <xxyyzz> CarlFX, "Ethernet Interface"? "CardBus Bridge"?
[08:13] <snoops> xgl doesn't do that, compiz does
[08:14] <verix> well yeah :p
[08:14] <snoops> ctrl+alt+page down basically opens up the cube and spreads it across a horizontal pane for you to choose which desktop
[08:14] <verix> ahh nice
[08:14] <Cody> modprobe won't kill
[08:14] <synth7> wheres the best, easiest to understand ubuntu guide online?
[08:15] <synth7> installation guide
[08:15] <Madpilot> synth7, help.ubuntu.com
[08:15] <synth7> i remember there was one super detailed guide
[08:15] <synth7> made it real easy
[08:15] <rixth> sharms, it works via VGA with the fanned card.   (I asked in #kubuntu and no response)
[08:18] <Cody> sometimes it goes down to about 30% cpu, then comes back up
[08:19] <QRZ> Cody:  What does, "ps -A | grep modprobe" give you?
[08:19] <Cody> 2963 ?        00:00:00 modprobe
[08:19] <Cody>  2968 ?        13:47:27 modprobe
[08:19] <QRZ> Cody:  Now do, "sudo kill -9 2963" and, "sudo kill -9 2968"
[08:20] <verix\a> oh wait
[08:20] <glDaher> kakalto: still there? linux-restricted-module is latest
[08:20] <verix\a> one last thing
[08:20] <verix\a> what's the apt-get package for the linux headers?
[08:20] <QRZ> Cody:  After doing that, do you still have modprobe processes running?
[08:20] <Cody> yep
[08:20] <QRZ> Cody:  If so, did the PID's change?
[08:21] <QRZ> Use, "ps -A | grep modprobe"
[08:21] <cheery> Hi
[08:21] <Cody> no they didn't change
[08:22] <QRZ> Cody: What did you get when you tried to kill the processes?  Any errors, etc?
[08:22] <Kirk_> I need Apache help.,
[08:22] <Cody> no errors
[08:22] <cheery> How can I make a completely customized keyboard layout, test it and install it as my primary keyboard layout?
[08:22] <francesjan> hello, where or how do you create a script that will run everytime you shutdown ubuntu?  i want to have an auto-backup everytime it is about to be poweroff or shutdown .
[08:23] <Cody> just entered my password, and its cpu usage dropped a bit, then went back up
[08:23] <QRZ> Cody:  And, 'top' shows modprobe as consuming CPU time consistently?
[08:23] <Kirk_> I have a question... If I make a virtual host in apache2.conf for "thissubdomain.mydomain.com" do I have to do something with the DNS to make it work?
[08:23] <Cody> yes
[08:24] <glDaher> I'll say my problem again, if I change the Driver in the Device section in xorg.conf to "nvidia" X11 doesn't start for No Screens Found error
[08:24] <The_Don> @francesjan: Try to put it in rc0.d (this is the halt runlevel) - but not sure ^^
[08:24] <sharms> !tell glDaher about nvidia
[08:24] <Kirk_> Are there any experts here or are we all here with questions and that's why they aren't being answwered? lol
[08:24] <QRZ> Cody:  Not sure what to tell you at this point...
[08:24] <Kirk_> Sharms!  you're here
[08:24] <Kirk_> Sharms:  [01:23]  Kirk: I have a question... If I make a virtual host in apache2.conf for "thissubdomain.mydomain.com" do I have to do something with the DNS to make it work?
[08:24] <Cody> darn, stupid bug
[08:25] <Kirk_> !tell Kirk about apache
[08:25] <Kirk_> lol
[08:25] <Kirk_> !tell Kirk_ about apache
[08:25] <Cody> well see ya
[08:25] <sharms> Kirk_: if it is a virtual host, on your local machine no, but on the dns server it asks, it needs to be able to find that record for thissubdomain.mydomain.com
[08:25] <glDaher> Kirk_: if others can see the domin then no, if not then yes
[08:25] <francesjan> The_Don thanks
[08:25] <Cody> QRZ, thanks for your help
[08:25] <QRZ> Cody:  Good luck with it.  Hope you figure it out.  You're welcome!
[08:25] <sharms> Kirk_: so if you dont have a real dns entry then you need to make it in your hosts file, because apache figures out what website to server by the name of the site you type in
[08:25] <Cody> could I change its priority?
[08:25] <QRZ> Cody:  Not that I really helped much...
[08:26] <sharms> now I sleep.
[08:26] <Kirk_> sharms and glDaher:  The DNS for the domain is not managed by the server in question.  And it is making a subdomain off a subdomain managed by another server, which I don't quite understand either.
[08:26] <bilss> hi
[08:27] <The_Don> quick questiion: are oldlibs (for instance in libraries) needed - cause have loads of them installed ?
[08:27] <Kirk_> This whole ordeal isn't my idea, I'm just the jackass stuck doing it.  I'm sure you've all got in that situation before... I'm the smart dude who's supposed to know what he's doing.
[08:27] <bilss> DBO: hows it going?
[08:27] <cheery> Where keyboard layouts are located in ubuntu?
[08:27] <Kirk_> I'll hand it over to the person I know might be able to help.
[08:27] <Kirk_> :S
[08:27] <sharms> Kirk_: mastering apache may take more than 1 night, even for the most talented
[08:28] <glDaher> if your DNS host points domain.com to this machine, then they probably did for all xxxx.domain.com , in which case it works, as for apache it checks the HTTP headers for the requested host-name and does the rest, it does not need any DNS changes on the apache machine
[08:28] <wolfherd> I use dapper on my IBM T43.  Anybody can use the fingerprinter of T43?
[08:28] <tiddlywinks> I have a ubuntu LAMP install from the 6.06 server CD.  How do I change the computer name without reinstalling?
[08:28] <glDaher> tiddlywinks: hostname command?
[08:29] <bilss> how to install from source with debian rules under dapper?
[08:29] <xnull-> how can I put 1024 on uslapsh?
[08:29] <bimberi> !hostname
[08:29] <ubotu> Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly
[08:30] <xnull-> !ati
[08:30] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:30] <xnull-> how can I put 1024 on uslapsh?
[08:31] <narfmaster> 1024?
[08:31] <xnull-> yeap
[08:31] <narfmaster> huh? 1024 what?
[08:31] <xnull-> narfmaster : rez.
[08:31] <narfmaster> 1024 resources?
[08:32] <The_Don> @wolfherd: I dont know if you know this page, maybe it helps: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html
[08:32] <xnull-> narfmaster: resolution 1024 x 768 ..
[08:32] <narfmaster> oh, you want the kernel option vga=some number
[08:32] <xnull-> narfmaster: yes
[08:33] <xnull-> narfmaster: i have grub installed
[08:33] <xnull-> narfmaster: any ideea?
[08:33] <narfmaster> vga=0x317
[08:34] <xnull-> narfmaster: thats 1024?
[08:34] <narfmaster> i think so
[08:34] <glDaher> I still cannot start my nvidia driver, I'm running nv and the info on the website doesn't help me much
[08:34] <narfmaster> xnull-, http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=HowTos.VgaModes
[08:34] <glDaher> how do I roll back from the latest updated kernel, because it worked fine before that
[08:35] <tiddlywinks> ok
[08:35] <colk> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=213420
[08:35] <xnull-> narfmaster: thanks
[08:35] <colk> i think that describes the issue
[08:35] <tiddlywinks> how about getting a windows machine to recognize the host name?
[08:35] <tiddlywinks> Is that going to require samba or something?
[08:36] <colk> yes
[08:36] <wolfherd> The_Don: Thx, I will read the web first!
[08:36] <colk> windows recognizing the host name will either take samba or a dns server
[08:37] <tiddlywinks> colk: I'll install samba.  I had planned to anyway.
[08:37] <colk> my other machine is a linux box so i could just use nfs
[08:37] <colk> :P
[08:37] <colk> im going to see if the live cd likes my system tonight
[08:38] <Sir_Fawnpug> IF you were introducing somebody to linux, would you do it with gnome, ubuntu, or enlightenment?
[08:38] <Sir_Fawnpug> err, kde
[08:38] <Sir_Fawnpug> *
[08:38] <Sir_Fawnpug> not ubuntu, the distro is going to be ubuntu regardless, haha.
[08:38] <narfmaster> Sir_Fawnpug, i'd do it with whatever i'm using at the time
[08:38] <achandra> hi. Has anyone run into issues with the pptp client in dapper..it complains about a circular dependancy
[08:39] <Sir_Fawnpug> narfmaster, well I'm using fluxbox which is probably deep water for somebody who's not computer literate
[08:40] <narfmaster> Sir_Fawnpug, maybe so but you learn by doing and watching others
[08:40] <hyperstream> hello yes im using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant to use my netgear wg11t, my signal is 0% and is dead slow recieving anything takes a long time. yet in windoze vista/xp it runs at 99% signal and is pretty fast ( 11mbit) any idea's ?
[08:40] <Sir_Fawnpug> narfmaster, true; I was just thinking flux would be a bit hard for somebody who wasn't tech-savvy to configure.
[08:40] <Sir_Fawnpug> brb, I gotta check on my gentoo box.
[08:41] <narfmaster> hyperstream, maybe you need to use a higher channel (total guess)
[08:42] <hyperstream> the channe l works fine in windows
[08:44] <ezx> the command line sysv config tool is sysv-rc?
[08:44] <ezx> i am using the breezy badgeer
[08:44] <The_Don> @ezx: sysv-rc-conf afaik
[08:45] <ezx> command not found ,do i need apt-get install ?
[08:45] <Sir_Fawnpug> Sweet, x is working
[08:46] <The_Don> errr, yes --> apt-get install sysv-rc-conf (at least in dapper)
[08:46] <ezx> i am using ssh , x is slow
[08:46] <Jeeves_> http://gallery.prevented.net/sunbuntupron
[08:46] <GStubbs43> Is there a way to change my touchpad so I can tap the bottom right instead of top right to use middle click?
[08:46] <ezx> but using apt-cache search sysv-rc-conf ,not found
[08:47] <narfmaster> Jeeves_, what's that link go to?
[08:47] <The_Don> @ezx: have you set universe in the sources.list ?
[08:47] <Jeeves_> narfmaster: Ehm, A gallery. SFW
[08:47] <asathoor> hi
[08:47] <narfmaster> ok
[08:48] <asathoor> i just got the rubybook via synaptic, but where is it?
[08:48] <asathoor> where are books stored on linux?
[08:48] <ezx> yeah i set ,i already install many many softwares
[08:48] <Oni-Dracula> right click, properties on the package in synaptic
[08:48] <Oni-Dracula> one of the tabs will have the paths it installs to
[08:48] <asathoor> thanx
[08:48] <narfmaster> asathoor, usually in /usr/share/doc/
[08:49] <asathoor> ok, i'll have a look there
[08:49] <paied> does anyone know why the gnome-terminal is the only one to mess up with JOE? http://www.opsat.net/temp/term_joe.png
[08:49] <The_Don> @ezx: its definitely in universe of breezy:  http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/admin/sysv-rc-conf
[08:50] <ezx> but my setting is cn.archive.ubuntu..., i will try now
[08:50] <narfmaster> paied, does it work in xterm?
[08:50] <paied> yes, the one behind it is xterm
[08:50] <paied> and it works in eterm
[08:50] <paied> and any other term you can think of i have tried.
[08:50] <narfmaster> paied, possibly a bug in gnome-terminal then
[08:51] <paied> been not working in gnome-terminal for as long as i can remember.
[08:51] <ezx> can a breezy using a dapper's repository>
[08:51] <paied> when i read about the updates they made to it in 2.14 i was like WOOT
[08:51] <paied> and... stilll broken.
[08:51] <ezx> it is safe?
[08:51] <MachineHeD> alright how do i ipconfig
[08:51] <asathoor> ok /usr/share/doc was the answer, thanx :)
[08:51] <The_Don> @ezx: that would probably f** up your system
[08:51] <narfmaster> MachineHeD, you mean ifconfig?
[08:52] <GStubbs43> Is there an easier way to detect/switch between wireless networks than having to go into Administration>Networking and all that???
[08:52] <ezx> whois jcoxon
[08:53] <MachineHeD> lol
[08:53] <MachineHeD> hahahahaha
[08:53] <The_Don> @ezx: recheck if you have set main restricted universe multiverse in your sources.list and be sure to run apt-get update
[08:53] <snoops> is it possible to move an application to a different display? eg my main is on :0, can I move a window from it onto say someones remote display eg :10?
[08:53] <MachineHeD> so its ifconfig?
[08:53] <MachineHeD> not ip
[08:53] <narfmaster> GStubbs43, s there's Network Manager but i can't say how well it works
[08:53] <ezx> The_Don ,ok ,i am tring
[08:53] <tiddlywinks> right, This is linux not windows
[08:54] <The_Don> thank god ^^
[08:54] <MachineHeD> hahah i feel dumb
[08:54] <MachineHeD> haha maybe i am
[08:54] <cheery> Is there any easy and safe way to define custom keyboard layouts?
[08:54] <ezx> already begin download the package libcurveperl
[08:54] <MachineHeD> and do i run that in terminal
[08:54] <cheery> or maybe howto for those things...
[08:54] <ezx> i think the sysv-rc-conf is write with perl and libcurse
[08:54] <narfmaster> MachineHeD, yes
[08:55] <The_Don> @ezx: manually downloading the dependencies is possible - though it would be better if you resolve the problems within apt first
[08:55] <MachineHeD> and what exactly will that do cuz i was told to do that earlyer cuz i cant access my internet and im trying to figure out how so im on my windows partion talking here and restarting back and forth trying to get it working its frustrating
[08:55] <hyperstream> hello yes im using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant to use my netgear wg11t, my signal is 0% and is dead slow recieving anything takes a long time. yet in windoze vista/xp it runs at 99% signal and is pretty fast ( 11mbit) any idea's ?
[08:56] <narfmaster> MachineHeD, ifconfig will not do anything except show you the interfaces unless you give it protocols and options and such
[08:56] <ezx> i am using sysv-rc-conf ,very thanks to all of you!
[08:57] <Sir_Fawnpug> MachineHeD, ipconfig throws me off on windows all the time.
[08:57] <The_Don> np
[08:57] <Sir_Fawnpug> Err, whoops
[08:57] <Sir_Fawnpug> I guess that was a while back.
[08:57] <Sir_Fawnpug> I keep on wanting to type ipconfig. I also have a bad habit of pressing alt-f4 to get to a nonexistant workspace.
[08:58] <achandra> hyperstream: is the driver you are using...the exact same one that you used in windoze?
[09:00] <hyperstream> yes
[09:00] <hyperstream> ndiswrapper requires you to load a .inf file
[09:00] <hyperstream> i used the original software / driver cd
[09:01] <achandra> okay...and you can see the wireless network you intend to connect to right? and make a connection....otherwise its just super slow right?
[09:02] <SurfnKid> are you using wlan-ng/?
[09:02] <Psykus> having some issues with flash video desyncing with the audio, is there any easy/quick fix?
[09:03] <TheRealDon> @Psykus: which browser do you use ?
[09:03] <SurfnKid> hyperstream, whats the adapter you using?
[09:03] <Psykus> firefox, using the one included with dapper drake, well, the updated one
[09:03] <SurfnKid> hyperstream, whats it doing
[09:04] <TheRealDon> check /etc/firefox/firefoxrc and lookout for FIREFOX_DSP= --> what is set in your firefoxrc ?
[09:05] <Psykus> TheRealDon: I did have it set to aoss, set it back to none in an attempt to fix the problem, didn't help any
[09:06] <TheRealDon> hmmz, sorry, then I dont know a solution.
[09:08] <TheRealDon> @Psykus: BTW: which flash plugin do u have installed ? the nonfree or the gpl flash version ?
[09:08] <Psykus> nonfree, does the gpl flash one work well for stuff like youtube and google video?
[09:11] <TheRealDon> not sure as I use nonfree too, but worth a try. How huge is the gap between A/V - cause I doubt, that there is a total sync possible with the flash crap
[09:12] <Psykus> it may start out ok, then gradually it will get worse and worse
[09:13] <Psykus> hm, just installed libflash, youtube didn't work,and homestarrunner crashed it :(
[09:14] <Psykus> still has some work to do I guess
[09:14] <TheRealDon> in fact, I have unsynced a/v too, but not that I really would care or not that it gets worse the longer the clip is
[09:15] <TheRealDon> flash just sucks in linux - you have to wait for the next year, when macromedia decides to drop a v8 compatible version
[09:15] <snoops> v9
[09:15] <TheRealDon> I wouldnt really expect that it will support v9
[09:15] <TheRealDon> if they postponed a v8 version
[09:16] <TheRealDon> they are steps behind the windows versions
[09:16] <snoops> umm, they said they would do a v8 last year.. then said they will do a v8.5.. then said they will do a v9
[09:16] <Psykus> " when macromedia decides to drop" adobe*
[09:16] <snoops> they said they're working v9 at the moment, and will be out early next year.. from an adobe blog
[09:16] <TheRealDon> read that too
[09:16] <asathoor> welll.... adobe bought macromedia, so that wont happen... ;)
[09:17] <TheRealDon> if it would be up to me, flash would be banned from all websites. I hate that crap
[09:17] <snoops> flash has its uses
[09:17] <narfmaster> flash is great for wasting bandwidth
[09:18] <TheRealDon> but only 5% use it the proper way
[09:18] <Psykus> i do despise when they do 100% of their site in flash, but I like it for stuff like web cartoons
[09:18] <cheery> If it would be up to me, the whole www would be rebuilt.
[09:18] <DBO> !offtopic
[09:18] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:18] <MachineHeD> ok i took a screenshot of my ifconfig when i did that can somone take a look
[09:19] <Psykus> also, can anyone point me toward how to enable xgl? i think i've installed the package, but don't see any difference..do I need to restart the GUI?
[09:19] <TheRealDon> @MachineHeD: have missed what you exactly want to do with ifconfig ?
[09:19] <DBO> Psykus, join #ubuntu-xgl and I can help you there
[09:19] <MachineHeD> well im having problems accessing the internet with ubuntu it just dont seem to work so somone told me to show that
[09:20] <TheRealDon> ah ok
[09:20] <slowz3r> Can anyone kinda guide me through installing an rpm file
[09:20] <MachineHeD> so right now im ruing on my windows partition trying to figure it out
[09:20] <MachineHeD> running not ruing
[09:20] <DBO> slowz3r, ubuntu uses deb files, not rpms
[09:20] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know how to start f4l?
[09:20] <DBO> slowz3r, what do you wish to install?
[09:21] <TheRealDon> @slowz3r: the magic word is alien
[09:21] <MachineHeD> so can somone give me a hand
[09:21] <slowz3r> DBO, Limewire....
[09:21] <slowz3r> DBO, and RPM is all thats on the site
[09:21] <Cntryboy> anyone?
[09:21] <narfmaster> f4l?
[09:22] <tomlikestorock> can anyone tell me why my wireless interface works, is recognized, totally kosher, but nm-applet doesn't see any interfaces?
[09:22] <DBO> slowz3r, yes, there are better alternatives to Limwire though, Limewire is closed to source.  Consider Frostwire or gtk-gnutella
[09:22] <MachineHeD> ?
[09:22] <narfmaster> tomlikestorock, Network Manager cannot use your hardware in it's in the interfaces file
[09:22] <slowz3r> DBO, how would those compare to limewire
[09:23] <icevid> How much memory do you need to install ubuntu....or how much memory is suggested?
[09:23] <Lukian> in Grub's boot.lst what defines an entry as the default?
[09:23] <DBO> slowz3r, they are comparable, I prefer gtk-gnutella because unlike limewire and frostwire it isnt a java app
[09:23] <tomlikestorock> narfmaster: eh? say that again?
[09:24] <tomlikestorock> narfmaster: what do you mean?
[09:24] <ajax4> icevid: How much do you have?
[09:24] <narfmaster> tomlikestorock, you need to remove the "/etc/network/interfaces" references to your hardware before Network Manager can use them
[09:24] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know how to start f4l flash proggy?
[09:24] <tomlikestorock> oh, totally remove it from interfaces?
[09:24] <TheRealDon> @MachineHeD: Have you done an ifconfig now ?
[09:24] <MachineHeD> yes
[09:25] <icevid> How much memory do you need to install ubuntu....or how much memory is suggested?
[09:25] <narfmaster> tomlikestorock, yes
[09:25] <DBO> 256MB is suggested icevid
[09:25] <slowz3r> DBO, ok..so i think ill tri frostwire...how would i go about installing deb
[09:25] <MachineHeD> i just posted my screenshot on that page
[09:25] <DBO> icevid, but I have run it on as low as 64MB
[09:25] <icevid> no...sry...hdd free space
[09:25] <TheRealDon> which page ?
[09:25] <slowz3r> DBO, nvm
[09:26] <DBO> icevid, I believe the smallest install I have ever seen is 1GB, but thats TIGHT
[09:26] <DBO> slowz3r, sudo apt-get install frostwire
[09:26] <icevid> is  25 gb good for installing ubuntu...packages...and user files?
[09:26] <DBO> icevid, that is plenty
[09:26] <bbrazil> icevid: that's tons of space
[09:26] <ajax4> icevid: Way more than enough.
[09:26] <MachineHeD> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[09:26] <nevyn> depends on the purpose...
[09:26] <icevid> ok 10x
[09:27] <nevyn> I've installed linux desktop systems in under 400mb
[09:27] <ajax4> icevid: I have pretty good set of apps for my desktop system and I use about 3 gigs.
[09:27] <MachineHeD> i think the link to it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17899
[09:27] <tomlikestorock> narfmaster: no go :(
[09:27] <TheRealDon> MachinHed: This is so small I nearly cant read
[09:28] <tomlikestorock> narfmaster: I take it back!
[09:28] <tomlikestorock> narfmaster: success! Thanks!
[09:28] <TheRealDon> but, which internet connection do u have and how do u enable it in windows ?
[09:28] <TheRealDon> is it via dhcp or static IP ?
[09:28] <wims> is it possible to exclude some packages completely from the update manager, or do i have to uncheck the packages i don't want every time there's an update ?
[09:29] <Daveyboy> hey there , my apache displays the content of my index.cgi, not the actual running of the application (bugzilla). Can you look at my pertinet files in apache to see where I made the mistake? I'm using ubuntu linux (debian) http://pastebin.ca/86798
[09:29] <narfmaster> wims, i think you can "Lock" a package in Synaptic
[09:29] <MachineHeD> dhcp
[09:29] <junkY_san> ndiswrapper -l   says: zd1211bu                driver present, hardware present. but theres no device visible with iwconfig
[09:30] <vigilante> Need help with Mupen64, anybody running it here?
[09:30] <TheRealDon> @wims: you could set it on halt too:
[09:30] <TheRealDon> echo packagename hold | dpkg --set-selections
[09:30] <wims> thanks
[09:30] <TheRealDon> MachineHeD: but do u have a static IP or dynamic ?
[09:30] <ajax4> wims: But it should only update the packages you have installed.
[09:30] <MachineHeD> dynamic
[09:31] <Vardis> ned help with xine on Amilo k7610 notebook
[09:31] <wims> yes, problem is my installation gets broken when kernel related packages are updated
[09:31] <wims> because i have a custom built kernel
[09:31] <ajax4> wims: Yeah, then you can exclude them as he mentioned.
[09:32] <cheery> Where X86Config is located?
[09:32] <anders_> hello
[09:32] <anders_> anybody here?
[09:32] <wims> yes
[09:32] <anders_> how do i fix so i can use: sudo?

[09:33] <MenZa> anders_: it should be.
[09:33] <anders_> sudo: gedit: command not found
[09:33] <TheRealDon> @MachineHeD: you need to run a dhcp client
[09:33] <GStubbs43> How do I add an argument onto 3d-Desktop? I need to add --texturesize=64 argument
[09:33] <DBO> anders_, just do "sudo echo hi dbo", it will ask you for your password, give it the same password you used to log in
[09:33] <anders_> But i tell you i CANT use it...
[09:33] <MachineHeD> and how would i do that

[09:42] <ajax4> icevid: Okay, there is no free space on the disk to make a Linux partition on. You can have the installer resize existing partitions but I don't think it works for NTFS partitions.

[09:45] <anders_> where can i download the java5-binpackage?
[09:45] <ajax4> icevid: Yes, it is. But it can only resize FAT partitions, not NTFS.

[09:48] <hayden> icevid, i believe you can't convert fat32 to ext3 (keeping all files intact) but you have to backup and format the partition to ext3

[09:52] <fyrestrtr> joycetick: its cd Desktop
[09:52] <mabus_> icevid: You can put a filesystem on something. And you can backup the data first. But not really a one step "convert".
[09:52] <webben> lasindi[lappy] : the output ends with a colon on line 19?
[09:52] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: and I don't have network
[09:52] <lasindi[lappy] > Minty_: heh, that's the same problem I've got. webben is helping with this
[09:53] <llama32> fyrestrtr: hmm it works if i explicitly say ifup lo... it seems lo isn't on it's list of what to automatically use - how can i change this?
[09:53] <ajax4> joycetick: type: cd Desktop (had ot have the capital D)
[09:53] <lasindi[lappy] > webben: right
[09:53] <icevid> so you have to format?
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: what *exactly* do you mean by 'made a copy of my ubuntu'? What steps did you take?
[09:53] <mabus_> joycetick: It's Desktop with a capital D
[09:53] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: cp -ravx
[09:53] <joycetick> ohhhh, captials lol
[09:53] <joycetick> thx
[09:53] <anders_> fyrestrtr: i have looked there
[09:53] <mabus_> no problem
[09:53] <deFrysk> joycetick, case sensitive
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> joycetick: next time, try ls beforehand so you know where you are :)
[09:54] <shiundu> anybody managed to upgrade breezy to dapper?
[09:54] <mabus_> joycetick: or press tab to complete things
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> anders_: did you enable multiverse as it states at the very top?
[09:54] <ajax4> icevid: If it was an FAT partition you could resize, but not NTFS. A Windows partition resizer might work because it would be able to resize NTFS.
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> shiundu: sure, twice.
[09:54] <bilss> DBO: please take a look at this thread and give me your understanding --its pretty easy http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=214790 (
[09:54] <anders_> nope fyrestrtr
[09:54] <joycetick> thanks guys that worked :)
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> anders_: well I'm not a scientist, but I would guess that's your problem :)
[09:54] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: any ideas where I can go from here? I have no network and I can't log into a GUI from kdm; when running x from the command line, it gives me that error
[09:54] <icevid> ok
[09:54] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , are you upgrading to dapper?
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: I don't think your permissions transferred correctly.
[09:55] <shiundu> How did you do it? when I try I get a message saying "it is not possible to upgrade all packages"
[09:55] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: that's what -a is meant to cover
[09:55] <anders_> fyrestrtr: what shall i download there?
[09:55] <lasindi[lappy] > webben: no, this is a clean dapper install
[09:55] <icevid> but ajax4 can i convert a partition of fat32 to ext3?
[09:55] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , weird, but anyhow this might be related to this bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/48082
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> anders_: read the page please, the instructions are there. Read, then ask a question about what you don't understand.
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: maybe you mean llama32 :)
[09:55] <deFrysk> icevid, fortmat it to ext3
[09:55] <DBO> bilss, packages are made essentially the same way in debian as they are in ubuntu
[09:55] <anders_> oki
[09:55] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: whah? llama32?
[09:55] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , i can't promise anything but try sudo "rm /etc/rc2.d/S91samba"
[09:55] <ajax4> icevid: I don't think so. You'd have to backup everything on that parition, remove the FAT partition and create a new ext3 partition where the fat used to be.
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> icevid: no, that's not possible.
[09:56] <gast_> hallo
[09:56] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , oops: "sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S91samba"
[09:56] <icevid> ok 10x
[09:56] <bilss> DBO: ok and applying debian rules in command line in dapper?
[09:56] <anders_> fyrestrtr: can i install java with synaptic?
[09:56] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , actually you could copy that before removing it
[09:56] <llama32> kakalto: my ifup -a won't do lo, but when i go "ifup lo" it works... i assume you were responding to that?
[09:56] <DBO> bilss, still works the same
[09:56] <joycetick> umm, how do i change to a directory that has a space in it, keeps saying it couldent find the first word of the folder name
[09:56] <ajax4> joycetick: put quotes around the whole name.
[09:56] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , hold on
[09:56] <deFrysk> anders_, maybe you should read help.ubuntu.com
[09:56] <bilss> DBO: ok thanks so i can say on the command line debian rules
[09:56] <ajax4> joycetick: like this: cd "/home/myname/my files"
[09:56] <kakalto> llama32: nope, fyrestrtr was getting confused
[09:57] <mabus_> joycetick: or just put a backslash \ before spaces
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> anders_: first, enable multiverse repositories by reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories -- then, you can install it by following the directions on this page > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[09:57] <lasindi[lappy] > webben: that symlink points to /samba
[09:57] <mabus_> joycetick: and remember to tab complete.. saves typing
[09:57] <lasindi[lappy] > webben: which of course doesn't exist
[09:57] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: cp -r_A_vx - the 'a' is archive, keep same permissions and whatnot
[09:57] <deFrysk> anders_, help.ubuntu.com holds most answers to your questions
[09:57] <DBO> bilss, if you need, there is a new maintainers guide on the wiki
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: are you creating the same users with the same gid/uid on the other machine?
[09:57] <joycetick> thanks aja4 and mabus_
[09:58] <ajax4> joycetick: np
[09:58] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: I copied all, including home dir
[09:58] <kakalto> yes.
[09:58] <webben> lasindi: ah ... it's an old fix but might still work, try redirecting to /etc/init.d/samba a la this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6318
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: the easy way would be to reconfigure xorg, or just do what I do -- run apt-cache or copy the debs over to the other machine, and then just issue apt-get like normal.
[09:58] <kakalto> I did reconfigure xorg.
[09:58] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , if that fails i'd probably just delete the symlink (you can remake it if necessary)
[09:58] <bilss> DBO: do you have the url please
[09:58] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: run "apt-cache" with what parameters?
[09:59] <DBO> bilss, not right now, you can just search the wiki, it should be easy enough to find
[09:59] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , looks like other peple are having similar problems are just removing the symlink works: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=214444&highlight=s91samba
[09:59] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: everything relating to ubuntu was copied to the second computer. However, the second computer is now without internet
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: sorry, meant apt-cacher -- the local apt proxy. Helps if you have more than one machine -- speeds up installs.
[09:59] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , see also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179320&highlight=s91samba
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: how did you create the user accounts on the second machine?
[09:59] <joycetick> When trying to access shared folders on ubuntu from a windows computer it comes up with a username/password box which wont accept my ubuntu login info, how can i get around this?
[09:59] <lasindi[lappy] > webben: it works fine now, I just reinstalled and it works like a charm. Thanks for the help
[09:59] <webben> lasindi[lappy] , good stuff :)
[09:59] <bilss> ok i look for maintainers guide
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: you can't just copy and paste files, without knowing about gui/uid :)
[10:00] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: the second machine, just has an exact copy (including guid/uid) of the first machine
[10:00] <lasindi[lappy] > Minty_: did you see all that?
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> joycetick: you need to edit the smb.conf file and add permissions to your share.
[10:00] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: that's what cp -r A vx covers - a for archive
[10:00] <Minty_> no :(
[10:00] <bilss> DBO: thanks for your suggestions
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: *sigh* -- I can't help you.
[10:00] <lakbu> my pc has no cdrom... but it has a landcard.. how can i install ubuntu via ftp or via internet?
[10:00] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: thanks anyway
[10:00] <kakalto> well
[10:01] <kakalto> take this as an example
[10:01] <nevyn> lakbu: you don't have access to even a usb cdrom?
[10:01] <lakbu> nevyn: yes.
[10:01] <lakbu> old box.
[10:01] <kakalto> if I just installed a network card into my computer, how could I configure it from the command line?
[10:01] <nevyn> lakbu: how old?
[10:01] <joycetick> fyrestrtr: hmm, and where would i be able to find this file. i dont remember having to do that last time i setup Samba on 5.04
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: ifconfig
[10:01] <mabus_> kakalto: ifconfig
[10:01] <bilss> Oompa: morning
[10:01] <kakalto> ok. I run ifconfig... it sees lo and eth1
[10:01] <mabus_> kakalto: well, man ifconfig might help more
[10:01] <kakalto> no eth0, interestingly
[10:01] <lakbu> not that old .. it's just that it has no cdrom.
[10:01] <lasindi[lappy] > Minty_: run this command in a terminal: sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S91samba
[10:02] <DBO> kakalto, ifconfig eth0 up
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> joycetick: /etc/samba/
[10:02] <nevyn> lakbu: it's going to be way easier to put a cdrom in it even temporarilly than to setup the required infrastructure for network installing
[10:02] <kakalto> DBO: there is no eth0
[10:02] <nevyn> I'm not saying it can't be done..
[10:02] <mabus_> kakalto: read man ifconfig
[10:02] <kakalto> I have an eth1. no eth0.
[10:02] <Minty_> rm: cannot remove `/etc/rc2.d/S91samb': No such file or directory
[10:02] <nevyn> lakbu: are we talking about a desktop/tower system or something more exotic.
[10:02] <mabus_> ifconfig only shows running things
[10:02] <DBO> kakalto, I know, it doesnt show until you bring it up
[10:02] <lakbu> nevyn: actually it's a laptop... and i think.. the cdrom drive is busted.. it cant read cdrom
[10:02] <mabus_> ifconfig -a should show eth0
[10:02] <kakalto> DBO: no such device.
[10:03] <mabus_> or whatever your other network card is
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: your network card is detected?
[10:03] <nevyn> lakbu: can it boot off usb cdrom?
[10:03] <revilot> all of a sudden i cant connect to google or yahoo, any ideas?
[10:03] <lasindi[lappy] > Minty_: are you sure you copied the entire command? It should be "/etc/rc2.d/S91samba", not "/etc/rc2.d/S91samb"
[10:03] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: I have 1 (one) network card. it is detected as eth1, but it doesn't seem to connect up to my router
[10:03] <lakbu> nevyn: i dont have a usb device.
[10:03] <mabus_> revilot: hmm that is strange
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: when you type ifconfig -a, does it show up?
[10:04] <revilot> mabus: feels like spyware
[10:04] <Minty> whoops sorry, done
[10:04] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: yes. eth1 shows up.
[10:04] <Minty> now what
[10:04] <qsrv> hello
[10:04] <lakbu> nevyn: it has a windoze partition, can i just copy an ubuntu iso there ..
[10:04] <nevyn> no.
[10:04] <nevyn> lakbu: how much ram/cpu does this system have?
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: your router has dhcp or you have to manually assign addresses?
[10:04] <nevyn> is it really going to be worth it?
[10:04] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: dhcp
[10:04] <lakbu> nevy: it's a centrino.
[10:04] <lasindi[lappy] > Minty: did you want Samba installed or removed?
[10:04] <Minty> stupid question how do I get the name of the person in fromt of my line od test whithout just writing it doawn ??
[10:05] <mabus_> revilot: well, it's not the same game with 'nix as it is windows
[10:05] <ajayc> is there anything like kxdocker for gnome?
[10:05] <Minty> want to install the nwe version
[10:05] <revilot> mabus: ya but this feels awfully suspicious
[10:05] <lakbu> nevyn: it's just that, the cd drive is busted...
[10:05] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: grep eth1 /etc/network/interfaces <-- what do you see?
[10:05] <ajayc> anyone?
[10:05] <lasindi[lappy] > Minty: run this command: sudo apt-get remove samba && sudo apt-get install samba
[10:05] <mabus_> revilot: It could be a lot of things, I could have a look for you if you'd like.
[10:05] <ajayc> anything like kxdocker for gnome?
[10:05] <ajax4> Minty: type the first few letters, then hit tab
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> ajayc: try gdesklets
[10:06] <Minty> lasindi[lappy] : brilliant thbnaks
[10:06] <revilot> mabus: i cant connect with any site that has anything to do with google at all, like google ads
[10:06] <DBO> ajayc, not really, there is gnome-dock, but that is alpha and cpu intensive, there is also akamaru which is really cool but you have to compile yourself
[10:06] <kakalto> auto eth1<newline> iface eth1 inet dhcp
[10:06] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: %
[10:06] <kakalto> err
[10:06] <ajayc> please someone tell me
[10:06] <kakalto> ^
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> revilot: you are not in china, are you?
[10:06] <ajayc> anything like kxdocker for gnome?
[10:06] <revilot> fyrestrtr: lol no
[10:06] <lakbu> nevyn: the  alternatives i have is too repair the cd drive or buy a new one or install via network.
[10:06] <ajayc> please
[10:07] <lakbu> nevyn: no idea how to install via network.
[10:07] <KJro> hello
[10:07] <DBO> ajayc, we have already answered your question, please read the responses
[10:07] <ajayc> DBO: ok
[10:07] <nevyn> lakbu: if the bios has good support for usb... you could get by with a cheap dvdrom in 5.25" enclosure
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: okay and when you do sudo ifup eth0 and then ifconfig eth0 do you see an ip address?
[10:07] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: you mean eth1?
[10:07] <revilot> mabus: i cant connect to ubuntuforums either
[10:07] <KJro> any luck finding out how i could change in DAPPER the icon from the main menu ???
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: sorry, yes.
[10:07] <nevyn> lakbu: usbkey might be a better bet if you have one.
[10:07] <mabus_> revilot: check msgs?
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> revilot: sounds like a problem with your internet connection then.
[10:08] <lakbu> nevyn: i dont have that luxury right now. hehe
[10:08] <joycetick> fyrestrtr: it wont let me save the file, do i have to do it through the terminal, if so is gedit the command to edit files
[10:08] <DBO> revilot, try to connect to http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[10:08] <fyrestrtr> joycetick: you need to open it as root to save it (ie, use sudo)
[10:08] <lakbu> nevyn: the only thing that's working is the network connection.
[10:08] <nevyn> lakbu: ubuntu's installation methods seem to be realativly focused around the cd ;)
[10:08] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: no.....
[10:08] <lakbu> nevyn: ye. i noticed.
[10:09] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: is 'ifup eth1' meant to return me to the command line?
[10:09] <revilot> DBO: no go
[10:09] <Flannel> lakbu: there are instructions for netinstall, etc.
[10:09] <nevyn> lakbu: you may have more luck with debian.
[10:09] <nevyn> Flannel: netinstall still boots off cd
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: yes.
[10:09] <ajayc> DBO: i aint getting akamaru on net! please gimme the link
[10:09] <Psykus> a while back someone recommended this script that would automatically setup mounted partitions and drives..can't remember what it is, though I think it was on the wiki.?
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: then hit ifconfig eth1
[10:09] <nevyn> he needs a full PXE boot environment and supporting infrastructure
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: eth1 is a normal *wired* network card, right?
[10:09] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: it can't recieve the dhcp stuff
[10:09] <nevyn> which is non-trivial to configure
[10:09] <Flannel> nevyn: nah, there are plenty.  Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[10:09] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: yes.
[10:09] <mabus_> revilot: are you getting my private messages?
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: sudo apt-get install dhcp-client
[10:09] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: but...
[10:10] <kakalto> uhm ok
[10:10] <DBO> ajayc, http://people.freedesktop.org/~krh/akamaru.git/
[10:10] <revilot> mabus: i just responded to you
[10:10] <Flannel> er, lakbu that link is for you too
[10:10] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: interestingly, the card's lights just keep flashing, about a second apart
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: how many network cards do you have in the machine?
[10:10] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: to install dhcp-client, it would remove dhcp3-client
[10:11] <mabus_> revilot: I'm not getting your replies, you have to be identified on freenode
[10:11] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: 1 (ONE)
[10:11] <Psykus> nevermind, I found it
[10:11] <mabus_> revilot: is your nick registered?
[10:11] <revilot> mabus:no
[10:11] <lakbu> Flannel: tried that ....
[10:11] <Flannel> lakbu: all of the pertinant methods?
[10:11] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: you 100% sure about this? No built-in network cards, no wireless, etc. Normally the first network card is eth0 not eth1
[10:11] <Vardis> how is posible compile kernel from sources ?
[10:11] <mabus_> revilot: hmm well, you should... /msg nickserv register password
[10:12] <lakbu> Flannel: The Installation\Netboot
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> Vardis: sudo apt-get install build-essential, then download the sources and compile like in any other distro.
[10:12] <nevyn> Flannel: you're right
[10:12] <DBO> fyrestrtr, perhaps its time to glance at his kernel log and see if something did get assigned to eth0 or if it just skipped it
[10:12] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: I thought it was weird too. but I am 100% sure there is only 1 card
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: dmesg | grep eth type that, and pastebin what you get.
[10:12] <Flannel> lakbu: so, what DO you have to work with?
[10:12] <Vardis> fyrestrtr, I tried o got erors in som lines somthing ebout kantcrat even menu
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> Vardis: ???
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> Vardis: is there a reason you want to build a kernel from scratch?
[10:13] <anders_> how do i activate my webjava?
[10:13] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: I get no output
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> anders_: that same page I told you to go to, scroll down and read all of it.
[10:14] <DBO> anders_, "sudo update-alternatives --config java" select the one that has the word sun in it
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: ??? you get no output?
[10:14] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: yes. isn't this getting just weirder and weirder?
[10:14] <Vardis> fyrestrtr, well maybe i can get beter kernel for amd sempron K8 notebook
[10:14] <anders_> DBO: it says nothing to configurate
[10:14] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: I've copied the same way, a distro before, and it ran fine
[10:14] <DBO> anders_, you need to install sun java
[10:14] <anders_> i have
[10:15] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: ah. maybe I should have booted into a livecd, and copied the dead environment
[10:15] <kakalto> hmm.
[10:15] <DBO> anders_, you have done "sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre" ?
[10:15] <anders_> yes
[10:15] <anders_> i got it
[10:15] <DBO> anders_, then it should be properly configured
[10:15] <anders_> but it dont support it in mozilla
[10:16] <anders_> anything i have to change there?
[10:16] <deFrysk> anders_, nothing to configure is correct
[10:16] <deFrysk> you have no other java versions installed
[10:16] <anders_> nope
[10:16] <deFrysk> so java should work now
[10:16] <DBO> anders_, I believe firefox blocks java by default, but Im not sure
[10:16] <anders_> not in firefox
[10:16] <deFrysk> shut down all firefoxes first
[10:17] <MachineHeD> why when i try to open networking does it attempt to open but it doesnt open it look likes its going to then looks like it closes itself
[10:17] <deFrysk> and then restart firefox
[10:17] <anders_> still not working
[10:17] <deFrysk> anders_, and then try again
[10:17] <anders_> huh?
[10:18] <synd2> Where is the Beep-Media-Player theme dir?
[10:18] <rsk> in home
[10:18] <KJro> YO GUYS.... how knows how to change the main menu bar icon in DAPPER ...... who has the time to try to find it... now ... ??????
[10:18] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: please, just boot from the livecd and install the system from scratch. Your copy + paste trick is causing more problems than its helping. Install dapper or from the desktop cd, then copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives from your current machine to the new one, then just run apt-get update/apt-get upgrade and it will be updated without having to download the deb packages again.
[10:18] <anders_> deFrysk: how do i fix that?
[10:19] <deFrysk> anders_, and sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre installed correctly ?

[10:19] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: my overall problem is that I have 12GB of data I cannot save anywhere
[10:19] <deFrysk> sudo update-alternatives --config java
[10:19] <LoneShadow> anyone installed a livecd onto a 1gb usb drive ?
[10:19] <deFrysk> did you key that in correctly ?
[10:19] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: fyrestrtr: the only place was the 2nd computer's hard drive.
[10:19] <anders_> yes..
[10:19] <kakalto> woops
[10:20] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: so, I was trying to save the data, while getting a linux install on it
[10:20] <colk> question how do you get the kernel source for 2.6.15
[10:20] <KJro> ges no-one
[10:20] <crimsun> colk: apt-get install linux-source-2.6.15
[10:20] <asathoor> how can I configure a usb TV stick?
[10:20] <colk> ah thanks i was thinking it was kernel-source:)
[10:21] <anders_> deFrysk: what is the problem? :(
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: there isn't enough space to create a partition for your data and have space left for ubuntu?
[10:22] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: I have a 40gb hard drive - 256mb swap + 50mb boot + the rest one big ext3 partition
[10:22] <kakalto> I didn't think you could resize ext3
[10:23] <Ensiferum> no windows? :o
[10:23] <kakalto> or can you?
[10:23] <DBO> kakalto, you can
[10:23] <anders_> anyone can help me how do i fix my webjava?
[10:23] <kakalto> bleah. I make it awful complicated for myself.
[10:23] <kakalto> let me guess, I can do it with qtparted?
[10:23] <DBO> or gparted if you are a gnome user
[10:24] <KJro> i been thinking.. it would be a good idea if ... the automatic updater updates something .. he asks the user for selecting the old packages for removal.. or making a list with the old packages for an automatic "apt-get remove"....  I need something that can take care of both wireless (with wpa) and ethernet connections. A command-line tool would do.
[10:24] <Ensiferum> ;)
[10:25] <asathoor> qsrv >> try iwconfig
[10:25] <asathoor> qsrv >> or iwlist
[10:25] <KJro> Ensiferum .. i can .. already did.. the old kernel versions.... :p
[10:25] <Werdsfa> anybody have idea how to fix picture distortion on second display(tv with less resolution) with xv output? (bottom 1/3 picture left out and rest is stretched on window.) primary display works perfectly.
[10:26] <fyrestrtr> qsrv: system > administration > networking
[10:26] <anders_> anyone that is good at java?
[10:26] <KJro> those are the most anoing ones.... cus the grub boot menu keeps getting bigger and bigger
[10:27] <KJro> each day (don't miss understand me it's verry good that they work SOO MUCH on updates )
[10:28] <deFrysk> anders_, ls  /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
[10:28] <Flannel> KJro: you can remove those you know.
[10:28] <anders_> ok the+
[10:28] <deFrysk> check if you see libjavaplugin.so
[10:28] <anders_> libunixprintplugin.so
[10:28] <anders_> thats all
[10:28] <KJro> i know... already did.. would be glad if it where made automaticly
[10:28] <Flannel> KJro: the reason the updates don't automatically remove old kernels is because in the off chance that the new one breaks and you can't boot, you can go back to the old one
[10:29] <imbrandon_> jiphex, can i help you ?
[10:29] <imbrandon_> jiphex, please dont ctpc the whole room
[10:29] <KJro> that i though as well ... that's why ask the user what to remove
[10:29] <anders_> deFrysk: what shall i do?
[10:29] <jiphex> sorry, i didnt mean to, mistyped a command in bitchx
[10:30] <nevyn> sigh bitchx... has it's window binding code been fixed yet?
[10:30] <jiphex> im in console mode
[10:30] <deFrysk> anders_,  cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/plugin/i386/ns7
[10:30] <colk_> oops
[10:30] <colk_> installing net drivers while your on the net isnt a good thing
[10:31] <nevyn> it's easy to break things that way...
[10:31] <anders_> deFrysk: after that+
[10:31] <seamus_ie> hey all
[10:31] <colk_> argh
[10:31] <KJro> ok... let's ask again ... :D dose anyone know how to change the icon from the main menu bar in DAPPER ?
[10:32] <synd2> I'm trying to do "su -p" in Terminal and I'm entering the right password and it says "Authentication error"
[10:32] <synd2> Any help?

[10:32] <kakalto> synd2: su is disabled by default
[10:32] <fyrestrtr> !root > synd2
[10:32] <anders_> synd2, sudo passwd
[10:32] <fyrestrtr> anders_: no, no, no.
[10:33] <anders_> :o ok
[10:33] <deFrysk> anders_, in all honesty i do not know
[10:33] <anders_> ok
[10:33] <anders_> deFrysk: but iam in that file..
[10:33] <deFrysk> give me a sec
[10:33] <anders_> ty :o)
[10:34] <rixth> YOu know when you connect a camera, a dialog comes up saying "camera detected" then a button to "ignore forever" or whatever, how do I un-ignore?
[10:34] <synd2> anders_: Thanks
[10:34] <anders_> did it work? :o
[10:34] <deFrysk> anders_, so you did install : sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin
[10:35] <deFrysk> anders?
[10:35] <anders_> yes sir :)
[10:35] <astro_-> rixth: you can't, it's FOREVER! ;)
[10:35] <astro_-> rixth: just kidding.. sorry, don't know your answer though :)
[10:35] <rixth> Aw =(
[10:35] <colk_> easy ubuntu is fuin
[10:35] <colk_> :)
[10:35] <deFrysk> anders_, and you accepted the licence agreement and all during install
[10:35] <deFrysk> ?
[10:36] <anders_> yes?
[10:36] <anders_> :o
[10:36] <deFrysk> yes ?
[10:36] <deFrysk> you sure ?
[10:36] <anders_> i have accepted all
[10:36] <anders_> ofc
[10:36] <deFrysk> anders honestly it should "just" work then
[10:36] <anders_> weird?
[10:36] <anders_>  :S
[10:36] <deFrysk> anders_, you are on a normal pc ?
[10:36] <jiphex> whats the problem anders?
[10:37] <anders_> deFrysk: yes
[10:37] <anders_> jiphex: java problems :o
[10:37] <jiphex> ah
[10:37] <deFrysk> jiphex, his sunjava does not seem to be willing to work
[10:37] <jiphex> oh, i se
[10:37] <anders_> but it is right installed
[10:37] <jiphex> e
[10:37] <fyrestrtr> that's because he didn't read the java wiki properly.
[10:37] <fyrestrtr> as I have told him many times to go and read it.
[10:37] <anders_> fyrestrtr: iam lazy =p
[10:37] <asathoor> anyone here with a pinnacle usb tv-tuner?
[10:38] <ubuntu> how can i download torrents from the terminal?
[10:38] <POVaddct> anders_: well then it's your problem
[10:38] <ubuntu> i mean what torrent program will run in the terminal
[10:38] <deFrysk>  btdownloadcurses.bittorrent
[10:39] <anders_>  jiphex can u answer on the question? :op
[10:39] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: please change your nick.
[10:39] <Nilsy> ubuntu, I googled on consol torrent and the first linke seems like what you need http://ctorrent.sourceforge.net/
[10:39] <fyrestrtr> anders_: read the wiki page. We are here to help those that are willing to help themselves.
[10:39] <jiphex> i dont really know what your problem is
[10:39] <deFrysk> fyrestrtr, he has installed sunjava correctly
[10:39] <deFrysk> it just does not seem to work
[10:39] <anders_> jiphex: i got java installed, but it wont be active when i shall open java programs
[10:40] <jiphex> only odd thing i had to do when i installed java was change the alias for 'java' from gij to the sunjava5 stuff
[10:40] <anders_> exackly command? :O
[10:40] <rixth> ubuntu, rtorrent works well. BUt you could just use a command line to azureus...
[10:40] <ubuntu> i think i fork bombed my computer earlier with too many torrent downloads
[10:40] <jiphex> err, hang on
[10:40] <fyrestrtr> deFrysk: he doesn't want to read the wiki. The first time I told him to go there, he said, okay I read it, it doesn't work. Then I said, did you enable multiverse as it states on the top of the page? He said no. I told him to go do that. A few minutes go by, and he's back with 'hey, how do I get java to work'.
[10:41] <deFrysk> fyrestrtr, thank for the info
[10:41] <fyrestrtr> anders_: read the wiki page!!! Its right there you lazy git!
[10:41] <anders_> fyrestrtr: i tried to read it but i dident find...
[10:41] <anders_> :@@
[10:41] <deFrysk> sounds like trolling then
[10:41] <ubuntu> does bittorrent work from the command line? i think it does because the bit torrent package with a gui is a seperate package.
[10:41] <deFrysk>  btdownloadcurses.bittorrent blah.torrent
[10:41] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: it does, there is a ncurses client available.
[10:41] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: type bt then hit tab in the terminal to see your options.
[10:42] <synd2> How do you force quit a window?
[10:42] <axisme> anders_, did you install the sun-java5-plugin  ?
[10:42] <anders_> nope :o
[10:42] <axisme> install it then
[10:42] <anders_> apt-get install sun-java5-plugin ?
[10:42] <jiphex> try 'alias java="/usr/local/java/bin/java"
[10:43] <Madpilot> synd2, try clicking on the Close button a few times - the X in the top-right corner
[10:43] <fyrestrtr> jiphex: that's not the right way to do it, there is a tool to manage that.
[10:43] <jiphex> ah i see
[10:43] <jiphex> i didnt know that :p
[10:43] <anders_> axisme: i got a prob with install
[10:43] <fyrestrtr> synd2: from a terminal, type xkill, then left click on the stuck window.
[10:43] <synd2> Madpilot: No avail
[10:43] <axisme> o?
[10:43] <Madpilot> jiphex, that's not the correct path, either
[10:43] <axisme> i just did it...worked ok with me
[10:44] <Madpilot> synd2, hmm, that usually works for me - three or four clicks on the X
[10:44] <asathoor> how can I configure /dev/video0 - I have panasonic usb tv - and use TVtime
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> asathoor: are you sure its supported?
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> Madpilot: sometimes, an app just gets stuck and then its xkill to the rescue :)
[10:44] <asathoor> fyrestrtr >> no
[10:45] <axisme> anders_, whats the install problem then?
[10:45] <ubuntu> can a ubuntu harddrive be moved to another computer and work on a different computer other than the one it was installed on?
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> asathoor: try googling your product name/version and linux. I don't know anything about tv tuners in linux.
[10:45] <ubuntu> has anyone tried that?
[10:45] <anders_> axisme: hum, cant translate it into english sry :o
[10:45] <rsk> ubuntu, it must be the same.
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: most likely, it won't work.
[10:46] <rsk> ubuntu, installing dosent take much time.
[10:46] <ubuntu> rsk, have you tried it
[10:46] <rsk> no but i know anyhow
[10:46] <axisme> if apt-get didn't do it for you, try synaptic...if its not in there you don't have all the respositories selected
[10:46] <asathoor> fyrestrtr >> ok, someday, someone will write a driver...
[10:46] <ubuntu> rsk, no you dont. you are assuming.
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: unless its an exact clone machine, only then -- otherwise, no.
[10:46] <anders_> I think its wrong with java-applet-runtime
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> asathoor: have you tried mythtv?
[10:46] <rsk> ubuntu, yes im assuming it wont work, try and i know im right.
[10:47] <ubuntu> rsk you must not know much about hotplug
[10:47] <axisme> anders_, remove every mention of java on the system. then follow the wiki and install that plugin
[10:47] <axisme> then it should work
[10:47] <Kanpachi> hello, whenever i try to play video with totem vlc or mplayer, the colors are all saturated, what can i do?
[10:47] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: you must not know about hardware ;)
[10:47] <anders_> i instaleld java from: Automatix
[10:47] <Pupeno_> Hello.
[10:47] <fyrestrtr> anders_: ask in #automatix then.
[10:48] <ubuntu> fyrestrtr, you must not know much about hotplug either
[10:48] <Pupeno_> How do I configure (k)ubuntu to use wpa2-pks ? (at the /etc/network/interfaces level if possible).
[10:49] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: ermm, no. I know a few things about hotplug, just that hotplug + ubuntu = ??? (unknown results). Cloning machines is not a problem.
[10:49] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: unless you are using blades.
[10:49] <Pupeno_> or wpa-pks otherwise.
[10:50] <Kanpachi> hello, whenever i try to play video with totem vlc or mplayer, the colors are all saturated, what can i do?
[10:51] <Fjodor> Pupeno_: Unless you are using a ralink nic (builtin wpa in driver), you need to also run wpa_supplicant
[10:51] <Fjodor> Pupeno_: or hostapd, if it's an ap
[10:51] <Pupeno_> Fjodor: that's for wpa2, wpa or both ?
[10:51] <Fjodor> Pupeno_: Both
[10:52] <rixth> Interesting. The USB ports (4 of them) and the card reader integrated into the Dell 24" Wide LCDs work out of the box.
[10:52] <Pupeno_> Fjodor: outch.
[10:52] <Nickay> Hi i have install kubuntu but i have problem with my sceen resolution. How can configure it from console?Thanks
[10:52] <fyrestrtr> rixth: how do you like that monitor from dell? I was thinking about getting one.
[10:52] <Fjodor> Pupeno_: Sorry, but that's how it is
[10:52] <axisme> pupeno, have you tried the gnome network manager?
[10:52] <fyrestrtr> !resolution
[10:52] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:52] <axisme> i only use it with wpa tkip, dunno if it works with the others
[10:53] <ubuntu> Nickay, "sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[10:53] <Pupeno_> axisme: I am not running gnome.
[10:53] <rixth> fyrestrtr, don't buy it for its component inputs... when using as a HD-TV say with an Xbox 360, it's not that great (but not bad). As a monitor however, it is mindblowing
[10:53] <axisme> ah hehe
[10:53] <Pupeno_> axisme: and I prefeer to configure my network on /etc/network/interfaces due to some particularities.
[10:53] <Pupeno_> !wpa
[10:53] <axisme> i see
[10:53] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[10:53] <rixth> fyrestrtr, do you want a real-world picture?
[10:53] <axisme> good luck then
[10:53] <AlexC> Hey
[10:53] <ubuntu> you dont have to type in those commands to restart x. all you have to do is push control and backspace at the same time.
[10:54] <AlexC> Is there a GUI MySQL application to view remote databases?
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> rixth: sure
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> AlexC: MySQL Query Browser and MySQL Administrator (both in repos)
[10:55] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: ctrl+alt+backspace :)
[10:55] <Nickay> thanks
[10:56] <AlexC> fyrestrtr, thanks
[10:56] <ubuntu> india is a bad place. i would hate to live there.
[10:56] <fyrestrtr> rixth: do you know what's the delay on it? Sometimes I like to play games and I have been told by my cs-playing freak...err..friend that a monitor's delay can cause problems with gaming.
[10:57] <rixth> fyrestrtr, do you have a fast connection or do I need to size this image down?
[10:57] <fyrestrtr> fast enough :)
[10:57] <rixth> fyrestrtr, well people talk about it... but I haven't noticed it, I play some games on it but not hardcore or anything. i can't perceive any lag. Can't complain about the 6ms (grey to grey) response time (12ms black to white)
[10:58] <KJro> YUHUUUUU
[10:58] <KJro> !!!!!!!!
[10:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about !!!!!!! - try searching bots.ubuntulinux.nl, help.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com

[10:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about !!ed!!dd1!!d! - try searching bots.ubuntulinux.nl, help.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com
[10:58] <KJro> made it .. whit help of my friend... i succesfully changed the icon from the main menu....
[10:59] <rixth> fyrestrtr, the light is very evenly distributed too
[10:59] <rixth> fyrestrtr, http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/5049/dsc036401fw.jpg
[10:59] <Wesselaar> For anyone: when i open a ftp link in "places" it opens with firefox, normally it would open with nautilus, can i change this back to the original settings?
[11:00] <Madpilot> rixth, very shiny - what's the native res on that?
[11:00] <Pupeno_> oho! wpa was dead easy :)
[11:00] <kakalto> you can't resize ext3 partitions, can you?
[11:00] <puppet> kakalto: no
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> rixth: hey you have the same icon scheme as I do.
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> rixth: mmmm ... that screen resolution looks tempting :D
[11:00] <kakalto> fyrestrtr: you can't resize ext3 partitions.
[11:00] <kakalto> blargh.
[11:00] <kakalto> send me on a wild goose chase.
[11:00] <kakalto> =/
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> kakalto: I didn't tell you you could, it was someone else.
[11:01] <KJro> Pupeno talking to me ??? :D
[11:01] <kakalto> hmm
[11:01] <kakalto> sorry, fyrestrtr
[11:01] <rixth> Madpilot, 1920x1200
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> its okay.
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> rixth: do you run xgl?
[11:01] <Madpilot> rixth, very nice. Where do you live, so I can come over and stea^^^look at it? ;)
[11:02] <kakalto> DBO, it was you.
[11:02] <rixth> fyrestrtr, I despise xgl hahaha (well, the effects anyway)
[11:02] <rixth> Madpilot, New Zealand =)

[11:02] <blackmabool> i keep getting this: my ISP's username and password login with no error but i can't browse anything . could someome be flooding me? is there any security update for this?
[11:02] <Madpilot> rixth, you're safe, then - that's a bit of a swim
[11:02] <fyrestrtr> rixth: I use it to ooh-aah my windows colleagues.
[11:02] <kakalto> rixth: near auckland? =)
[11:03] <rixth> kakalto, Masterton, near Wellington
[11:03] <kakalto> rixth, eh, nice try =)
[11:03] <axisme> blackmabool, check dns servers
[11:03] <fyrestrtr> rixth: what's the temp. there right now?
[11:03] <blackmabool> axisme: how
[11:03] <inflex> g'day folks - I want to install a package called KTechLab - and they list .deb packages on their site, but I cannot resolve some fundamental KDE lib conflicts
[11:03] <kakalto> eh, the worst temperatures are over
[11:03] <axisme> are you near the machine now?
[11:03] <fyrestrtr> blackmabool: type dig yahoo.com from the terminal and see what you get.
[11:03] <inflex> is there any way to side-step it without breaking -everything-
[11:04] <ubuntu> how can divx files be played in ubuntu?
[11:04] <fyrestrtr> !restrictedformats > ubuntu
[11:04] <inflex> ubuntu: install mplayer
[11:04] <kakalto> inflex: do you have all the repositories enabled?
[11:04] <ompaul> ubuntu, please check the message from ubotu
[11:04] <inflex> kakalto: I have the defaults for the latest Ubuntu install
[11:04] <blackmabool> fyrestrtr:  i just talked to the ISP and i have now net but i don't know if i do something wrong that gets me that error
[11:04] <puppet> ubuntu support divx, mp3 and all, just not out of the box
[11:05] <axisme> blackmabool, open a termina;
[11:05] <axisme> l*
[11:05] <ubuntu> everything except drm
[11:05] <vbgunz> anyone know how when I launch gnome-terminal to get it to show up on all desktops?
[11:05] <kakalto> inflex: well, in synaptic, see if you can "manage repositories", and enable all - main, restricted, universe, and multiverse.
[11:05] <axisme> type in ping www.google.com
[11:05] <inflex> kakalto: okay, thanks, I'll try that - I appreciate your assistance.
[11:06] <blackmabool> axisme: when i get that crap i can't ping anyone nor connect through any internet program...gaim, bitcomet, xchat
[11:06] <kakalto> inflex: no problem. hope it helps.
[11:06] <axisme> try pinging an IP address
[11:06] <axisme> like ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:06] <blackmabool> axisme:  yeah it just freezes. i have to ctrl-c
[11:06] <axisme> if you can ping IP addresses and not domains, then its DNS servers
[11:07] <blackmabool> axisme: aha ok
[11:07] <axisme> have you already tried pinging an IP address?
[11:07] <blackmabool> yeah it works now
[11:07] <axisme> ok so
[11:07] <axisme> its dns servers
[11:07] <blackmabool> axisme:  well if now i wouldn't have net how could i talk to u?
[11:07] <vbgunz> anyone know how when I launch gnome-terminal to get it to show up on all desktops?
[11:07] <axisme> well if it works why are you here?
[11:08] <blackmabool> axisme: so if it's the dns then it's the osp problem right?
[11:08] <axisme> if it pings the IP address and not the domains, its likely your problem
[11:08] <blackmabool> axisme:  my original question was if there is some security update
[11:08] <kakalto> blackmabool: I think you're thinking of 'ISP' not 'osp'?
[11:09] <axisme> click System, Administratyion, Networking.   Add DNS there, is thats the issue
[11:09] <blackmabool> kakalto: yeah sory typo
[11:09] <kakalto> =)
[11:09] <xice_notebook> anyone know of an easy to use screen scraper?
[11:09] <blackmabool> ;p
[11:09] <axisme> that would seem a more probable cause than someone flooding you...and no update is gonna fix someone flooding you heh
[11:09] <blackmabool> axisme:  so how do i solve the problem?
[11:10] <[1] Nickay> ubuntu: I am try to edit xorg.conf but the file is empty!!!!!! There is any other way to change the sceen resolution from console?
[11:10] <axisme> Click System, Click Administration, Click Networking, click DNS, Enter your ISPs DNS servers in there.
[11:11] <stefg> [1] Nickay: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:11] <kakalto> axisme: that assumes he has his ISP's DNS server IPs.
[11:11] <blackmabool> axisme: right thanx
[11:11] <rixth> fyrestrtr, my other fave. thing: http://i6.tinypic.com/1zvfvr7.jpg it has a really big range on heights and you can twist the monitor about 70 degrees left or right (also, you can turn it so it is portrait)
[11:11] <axisme> thats true heh

[11:14] <[1] Nickay> thanks stefg
[11:14] <squee> Hey, my Ubuntu 6.06 when shutting down wont auto power off. The hard drives go down but the fans and screen are still working. Any ideas?
[11:17] <stefg> squee: old box? ACPI trouble? (see dmesg to find out)... bott-parameters 'acpi off apm=power_off' might help
[11:17] <squee> stefg very old...P3 im not very good, how can i do that?
[11:17] <kakalto> squee, that's hardly 'very' old ;) I'm running a p2 :P
[11:18] <squee> kakalto that should be in a museum on display in the cave man section.. :-)
[11:18] <kakalto> squee: on the contrary, I also have a p1 and a 486 lying around :-)
[11:19] <stefg> squee: The problem is that your mobo does not support the ACPI commands to shut down. To use APM (what was used before ACPI established) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add acpi=off apm=power_off at the line where it says 'kernel .... quiet splash'
[11:19] <squee> kakalto ha, well i got this PC for free. It was being thrown out.
[11:20] <kakalto> squee: same with the p3 I have, lol

[11:25] <stefg> Not _under_ all lines /in/ the lines... only the sections where it says title ubuntu ....
[11:26] <stefg> squee: be aware you'll got to have superuser privs to sve it
[11:26] <stefg> *save*
[11:26] <kakalto> squee: be careful with it, too. it's your boot stuff.
[11:26] <stefg> ^^^^^

[11:28] <natezman> *** Embedded video in MPlayer in Firefox is failing.  Any ideas??? ***
[11:29] <Stroganoff> omg debian server hacked
[11:29] <Stroganoff> there are 30 root exploits for kernel 2.6
[11:29] <rambo3> natezman, uninstall it and use automatix
[11:29] <kakalto> Stroganoff: you don't really specify a version there
[11:29] <rambo3> Stroganoff, link
[11:30] <natezman> rambo3, I used Automatix to install it in the first place... reinstall?
[11:30] <Flannel> natezman: don't use automatix!
[11:30] <stefg> take the debian hack to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[11:30] <Stroganoff> kk
[11:30] <eth42> after resume from suspend-to-disk, there is a modprobe process running, consuming 77% CPU, that I cannot kill (not even with kill -9). what can I do?
[11:30] <natezman> Flannel: what do YOU suggest?
[11:30] <cstrippie> I keep hearing "don't use automatix," yet it works for me everytime.
[11:31] <Flannel> cstrippie: just because it has never blown up for you doesn't make it safe
[11:31] <natezman> sctripple: same for me
[11:31] <natezman> flannel: nothing's perfect.
[11:31] <Seveas> Stroganoff, i'd be surprised if it were only 30
[11:31] <Seveas> rambo3, don't advise automatix in here - it breaks systems
[11:31] <azcazandco> anyone here played nexuiz?
[11:31] <rambo3> Flannel, same goes for everything them , dont use tv couse it may blow up on you ?
[11:31] <Stroganoff> hehe
[11:31] <natezman> okay, ranbo3: reinstall?
[11:31] <rambo3> Seveas, ok
[11:32] <cstrippie> Agreed flannel, but one has to start somewhere, and aside from automatix's annoying habit of loading adobe reader when I tell it not to, it seems to do a great job on a clean install.
[11:32] <Flannel> rambo3: it's hardly the same thing.
[11:32] <azcazandco> no way is there a Flannel in here?  Thats what i used to call myself on IRC
[11:32] <Flannel> cstrippie: for you
[11:32] <Seveas> azcazandco, are you sure it's not your second personality?
[11:32] <snoops> I'm looking for a linux pdf reader which allows the two page at once view that adobe pdf reader allows
[11:32] <cstrippie> I have also used easyubuntu, and both work well.
[11:32] <squee> azcazandco   not reallty the best of names... then again im useing Squee!
[11:33] <snoops> since my res is 1920x1200, I always view it as two pages at once
[11:33] <azcazandco> Seveas: I think I laid claim to that too
[11:33] <natezman> snoops: use automatix and get Adobe PDF Reader
[11:33] <cstrippie> Easyubuntu probably better if you're uncomfortable loading vid drivers and have an ATI card
[11:33] <Flannel> natezman: don't recommend automatix here.
[11:33] <Seveas> natezman, do not adivese automatix in here..
[11:33] <snoops> err I don't want to be running any dodgy scripts natezman
[11:33] <natezman> mmk.
[11:33] <azcazandco> anyway...  very odd but not what I came in for
[11:33] <snoops> and I would much prefer to use an opensource application if possible
[11:34] <Seveas> azcazandco, life is full of surprises, better get used to it
[11:34] <natezman> ! dogs with mice
[11:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about dogs with mice - try searching bots.ubuntulinux.nl, help.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com
[11:34] <azcazandco> My screen keeps fading to dark when I am playing games in ubuntu
[11:34] <azcazandco> anyone got any suggestions
[11:34] <eth42> after resume from suspend-to-disk, there is a modprobe process running, consuming 77% CPU, and I cannot kill it (not even with kill -9). what can I do?
[11:35] <ubuntu> eth42 reboot?
[11:35] <_bbandit> azcazandco,  maybe power settings
[11:35] <Seveas> azcazandco, file a bug on the game and/or set your screensaver/power management timeout to infinite
[11:35] <_bbandit> or screensaver
[11:35] <eth42> ubuntu: yes sure. but I would like to know what the problem is...
[11:35] <azcazandco> cool  will try some of those
[11:35] <eth42> ubuntu: (and rebooting is very much a Windows thing, right?)
[11:35] <_bbandit> i'm guessing power management
[11:35] <azcazandco> could well be my screensaver or something
[11:36] <azcazandco> thanks folks....
[11:36] <_bbandit> check settings at system->power management
[11:36] <_bbandit> sorry, system->preferences->power management

[11:46] <blixtra> snoops: just use evince and select dual under the view menu
[11:47] <fm> I have two computers, one running ubuntu, and one (laptop) under windows XP. They both connect to the internet through a modem that is a router too (freebox). The laptop uses wifi. I set up a samba server on my ubuntu box without problems. But the wifi connection being too slow I'd like to connect my computers via ethernet. Can you give me advice how to do that? Basicly I wanna plug an ethernet cable between the two boxes.. but after?
[11:49] <blixtra> fm: you'll need a crossover cable to connect 2 computer directly but I've not done it myself on ubuntu
[11:49] <fm> ah ok
[11:50] <blixtra> fm: does the router ethernet ports at all?
[11:50] <snoops> perfect blixtra
[11:50] <snoops> thanks
[11:50] <sexcopter8000m> fm, blixtra: i think most ethernet cards now can crossover themselves, so you don't need a special cable, unless both cards are rather old
[11:50] <blixtra> snoops: no prob
[11:51] <sexcopter8000m> (have no idea about setting up samba though)
[11:51] <blixtra> sexcopter8000m: oh, it's been years since I needed to do that. :)
[11:51] <ross> is there a dapper install image that fits onto a small usb disk for network install?
[11:51] <brynk> fm, can't you just plug the laptop into the router?
[11:51] <fm> Oh I know what I'll do : plug the laptop on the router through ethernet, way easyer lol
[11:51] <fm> yes
[11:51] <fm> lol
[11:52] <swadhin> need help for my slow ftp login
[11:52] <blixtra> fm: hince me asking if the router has ethernet ports. ;)
[11:52] <stefg> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[11:52] <swadhin> yango: are you there
[11:53] <yango> yes
[11:53] <yango>
[11:53] <swadhin> yango: when i connect to my ftp server the prompt comes very slowly
[11:53] <ross> stefg: step 2 is "copy the cd to the flash disk". the flash disk is smaller than a cd
[11:53] <swadhin> yango: but once it is connected it works smoothly
[11:53] <devhen> everytime i run apt-get it runs the vmware player install script... and then returns an error
[11:54] <yango> swadhin, and what do I have to do with that? 8P
[11:54] <swadhin> yango: due to this sometimes it times out
[11:54] <swadhin> yango: do you have any solution
[11:54] <Bonez> hey guys, is there any way to resize an ext3 partition? i recently converted to ubuntu from windows but only allowed myself 7gb... i then filled that up and added a 7gb /home partition, but i want to remove windows completely and make my primary ext3 partition like 20gb.
[11:54] <isete> i installed ubuntu server, added user as prompted - but was never asked to set root password. is there a default one?
[11:54] <Bonez> is there any way i can do that without removing my OS and starting again?
[11:54] <swadhin> yango: :)
[11:54] <Seveas> !root > isete
[11:54] <fm> blixtra : oh crap, actually it has only one eth port, the other one is a USB :/
[11:54] <swadhin> yango: any suggestion
[11:55] <devhen> isete: there is no root password by default. use sudo
[11:55] <yango> swadhin, change the pasv setting in your client
[11:55] <blixtra> Bonez: apt-get install gparted
[11:55] <PanicFo> guys is there any way to test if your ati drivers are working properly?
[11:55] <wizard> isete: the password is the same of the user that you've created
[11:55] <devhen> Module vmnet is not loaded. Please verify that it is loaded before running this script ???
[11:55] <swadhin> yango: thanks a lot i ll do that
[11:55] <isete> when i do sudo <command> it is asking me for a password and when i leave it blank it says "wrong passd"
[11:55] <PanicFo> i mean the fglrxinfo says things are fine but it feels a little sluggish
[11:56] <ross> isete: when you sudo, you enter your own password
[11:56] <devhen> isete: user your normal user name and password
[11:56] <isete> oh
[11:56] <isete> thank you  wizard
[11:56] <blixtra> fm: i got a router I'l lsell you. :P
[11:56] <fyrestrtr> PanicFo: glxinfo | grep direct
[11:56] <isete> thsnk you all
[11:56] <devhen> anyone know how to fix this problem with vmware player where it says module vmnet is not loaded?
[11:56] <Bonez> blixtra, i have gparted but it wont let me do anything unless i unmount the partition first, and you can't unmount a partition that you are booting off, right?
[11:56] <fyrestrtr> PanicFo: if it says 'yes' then they are working fine.
[11:56] <frogzoo> 33updates - today will really suck to be on dialup o.O
[11:57] <PanicFo> it says yes
[11:57] <fyrestrtr> PanicFo: then they are working fine :)
[11:57] <blixtra> Bonez: use a live cd
[11:57] <stefg> Bonez: Although you could resize the partition with gparted, it might be wiser anyway to think up a reasonable partition layout... you can always symlink
[11:57] <PanicFo> one weird thing.. some of the screensavers run like shit now after i installed the drivers
[11:57] <sztanpet> how do i turn on laptop mode?
[11:57] <fyrestrtr> PanicFo: this is a known issue with ati unfortunately.
[11:57] <Bonez> blixtra, so if I use a livecd then I can resize my ext3?
[11:57] <PanicFo> could it be a 2d thing?
[11:57] <PanicFo> ah ok
[11:57] <frogzoo> PanicFo: u just install fglrx? yep, rss-glx are crap, it's a bug
[11:57] <PanicFo> then it isnt just me :)
[11:57] <wizard> how cam I install and set the language files for atlantik?
[11:58] <PanicFo> frog: i think i have it installed
[11:58] <XrekcaH> My Embeded Videos In Firefox Fail  Using Mplayer anyone have any info on this?
[11:58] <PanicFo> i followed the ubuntu tutorial
[11:58] <blixtra> Bonez: I've done it. use knoppix or maybe even the ubuntu live cd
[11:58] <PanicFo> do you know if there are any benchmarking proggies i could try?
[11:58] <frogzoo> PanicFo: you can have either fglrx or rss-glx, just not both
[11:58] <PanicFo> just to see where my gfx card is at
[11:58] <PanicFo> fglrx i think
[11:58] <stefg> !codecs

[11:59] <sexcopter8000m> Bonez, blixtra: i've used that gparted livecd to resize partitions normally in use, it worked a treat :)
[11:59] <PanicFo> i can't decide what game to try now >.< ive tried so often to get gaming to work on linux but ive never gotten this far before

[11:59] <PanicFo> it might actually work this time!

[12:02] <navidjoon> One of my friends is trying to connect to internet throuh a Windows XP box server that uses ICS. He seems to be able to connect and can ping sites but when sounds like there is a problem with DNS. I was wondering where you can set the DNS for an Ubunut box? What is the conf file?
[12:03] <frogzoo> navidjoon: /etc/resolv.conf   - probly set to the ip of the doze box
[12:03] <devhen> navidjoon: /etc/resolve.conf
[12:03] <Subhuman> navidjoon, thats actually an ipv6 issue
[12:04] <Subhuman> navidjoon, because ubuntu by default tries to ipv6 dns request
[12:04] <Subhuman> !ipv6
[12:04] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[12:04] <fyrestrtr> navidjoon: can he ping the domain names, or just the ip addresses?
[12:04] <Subhuman> switch it off.
[12:04] <devhen> my bad, its indeed /etc/resolv.conf

[12:09] <dpn> How do I open the File browser up so I can create directories in protected areas
[12:09] <blixtra> fyrestrtr: where can i find a list of those commands?
[12:09] <Bonez> i have a 12gb ntfs partition on my PC which has WinXP installed, I want to remove that partition and then resize my existing ext3 partition. what will happen if I remove the NTFS partition, which currently has the boot flag attached to it? how can i make it so my system will still boot up?
[12:09] <fyrestrtr> Bonez: you'll need to recreate the partition, set the boot flag on it, and install grub on it.
[12:09] <XrekcaH> wizardraiden, stop being stupid and leave now you are the same guy that was here earlyer
[12:10] <fyrestrtr> blixtra: commands for what?
[12:10] <Bonez> fyrestrtr, is there some sort of a guide i can follow with doing this?
[12:10] <fyrestrtr> try the grub pages I posted for papo.
[12:10] <Pupeno_> I have to computers where the network wi-fi interface is configured exactly the same, the computers are next to each other, one connects the other doesn't (never gets a DHCP offer). The signal in the one that doesn't connect si good. What I see in iwconfig is that the essid is not set. Any ideas ?

[12:11] <papo> fyrestrtr: Hm ok, I tried the symlink trick, let's see
[12:11] <fyrestrtr> kintaro: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[12:12] <Gonzo> when i try to mount my usb device which is a SD card reader.... the program just freezes... it doesn't even allow me to ctrl+c
[12:12] <Gonzo> any reason why this would happen?
[12:12] <kintaro> fyrestrtr..thanks..
[12:12] <fyrestrtr> is there a reason you are mounting it manually?
[12:12] <compengi> are there any logs for, when the last restart occured?
[12:12] <Gonzo> because i need to unplug the card at run time...
[12:12] <Gonzo> and usualy... on mac and windows, it says that it can damage the file system,
[12:13] <frogzoo> Bonez: afaik, grub doesn't look at the boot flag, so it's a non issue
[12:13] <Gonzo> i guess also it wasn't mounted... so i though i'd have to do it myself
[12:13] <Gonzo> is it meant to mount automatically?
[12:13] <fyrestrtr> it should mount automatically.
[12:14] <Gonzo> hmmm ok... well it doesn;pt
[12:14] <fyrestrtr> is it a built in reader or a usb one?
[12:14] <blixtra> Bonez: i agree with frogzoo
[12:14] <Gonzo> doesn't
[12:14] <Gonzo> a usb one
[12:14] <Gonzo> where i plug my mini SD in
[12:14] <Gonzo> im pretty sure i got it working once
[12:14] <Bonez> frogzoo, ok thanks. so if i completely remove my primary ntfs partition that contains windows then i should still be able to boot linux?
[12:14] <papo> fyrestrtr: Hm no, it's not working
[12:15] <Bonez> but if not, i can just boot from ubuntu cd and rescue, grub-install /dev/hda3
[12:15] <frogzoo> Bonez: yup, or not - guess  you'll soon know o.O
[12:15] <Bonez> frogzoo, yeah it's risky business, i don't like upsetting things that boot!
[12:15] <Gonzo> i booted the computer without the mini sd inserted...
[12:15] <mrkoje> Can someone give me a hint on a good program to burn mpeg videos to vcd, svcd and dvd format?
[12:15] <Bonez> but i really want the space :)
[12:15] <stefg> Bonez: watch out that your partiton numbering scheme doesn't get messed up. if win was on hda1, then you need at least an empty placeholder partition
[12:16] <Bonez> stefg, orly... hmm, so i can't just boot from /dev/hda3 ?
[12:16] <Gonzo> will reboot just for fun...
[12:16] <frogzoo> Bonez: hmmmzz - that 13gig for doze would store much pr0n ..
[12:16] <Bonez> frogzoo, too right :)
[12:16] <stefg> Bonez: you cann boot from hda3, except tzhat it becomes hda2, when you remove a part in front of it :-)
[12:16] <kintaro> fyrestrtr...i finish installing the openssh-server..then whats next?
[12:17] <mrkoje> anyone?
[12:17] <fourat> anyone know where to get PHP5.1 ?
[12:17] <blixtra> kintaro: that's it... just login form another machine
[12:17] <sysrpl> does anyone here use gtk interface designer?
[12:17] <blixtra> sysrpl: me
[12:18] <sysrpl> can you tell me why the frame class desn't allow you to set it's label?
[12:18] <fyrestrtr> kintaro: nothing, its running.
[12:18] <fyrestrtr> fourat: sudo apt-get install php5
[12:18] <blixtra> sysrpl: let me see...
[12:18] <kintaro> blixtra..no need to put in rc level and no need to start it just like gentoo..just new to ubuntu..ehehe
[12:18] <sysrpl> the designer adds two child controls which i am deleting ... it should be able to set the label on the frame directly
[12:19] <sysrpl> i can set it by changing the xml in a text editor or by setting the label explicitly in code
[12:19] <DaveyJ> is there a DV codec for ubuntu or possibly a transcoder that supports it?
[12:19] <MachineHeD> are there any known issues with networking on an nforce 4 shipset
[12:19] <Ng> DaveyJ: kino supports DV and can export to other formats afaik
[12:19] <DaveyJ> nice thanks
