[04:33] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[04:33] <mathieu> Rikkimaru: less * |  doesn't make sense... less is for paging. at least use cat instead
[04:34] <frogzoo> anyone tried irc with text to speech ?
[04:34] <burepe> scrilla did you see that?
[04:34] <scrilla-> i dont want apache2.
[04:34] <burepe> I am installing a LAMP server using a faq from ubotu. I need another faq to tell me how to use it. Like ports, and firewalls and whatever. Any suggestions?
[04:34] <rambo3> frogzoo like in opera
[04:34] <trappist> scrilla-: I'm not entirely sure 1.3.x is available in the repos
[04:34] <Rikkimaru> mathieu: what pragmatic difference is there?
[04:35] <frogzoo> rambo3: I'll check it out, thx
[04:35] <mathieu> burepe: ports: default. firewall: you don't need it to use it
[04:35] <frogzoo> burepe: tldp.org   for all your general linux documentation needs
[04:35] <trappist> Rikkimaru: you're trying to send files to grep.  cat isn't the right way either, but pagers are for viewing, not to act as pieces of data plumbing.
[04:36] <burepe> ok, what do I need to do after that? I want to install drupal
[04:36] <ryanakca> to reinstall python, what do I run? sudo dpkg --force-reinstreq python2.3?
[04:36] <burepe> just do that?
[04:36] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: sudo apt-get install apache should install apache v1.
[04:36] <mathieu> Rikkimaru: it's easier for others to understand what you're doing. less is meant for the user, not to pipe. it's confusing, what you wrote
[04:36] <trappist> ryanakca: sudo apt-get install --reinstall python2.3
[04:37] <scrilla-> ballpointcarrot that would install apache2.
[04:37] <frogzoo> ryanakca: you might have 2.4, btw
[04:37] <Rikkimaru> mathieu: I didn't expect to have to show it to anyone, but I understand your point.
[04:37] <trappist> scrilla-: apt-cache show apache says 1.3.33
[04:37] <scrilla-> ill go with apache2
[04:37] <ryanakca> trappist: nope... error... just a sec ... reinstall 2.3 Is what I want
[04:37] <cliffd> anyone know of a good mythtv install doc for ubuntu or kubuntu? I can only find one that references compiling everything. I would like to apt get if possible.
[04:38] <ryanakca> trappist: (I keep getting errors during edgy upgrade, and --force-remove-reinstreq should work...)
[04:38] <trappist> cliffd: deb http://home.eng.iastate.edu/~superm1 dapper main <-- put that in your sources.list and apt-get away
[04:38] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: do you have any extra repos that would overwrite that?  the base repos set apache as 1.3.34-2
[04:38] <cliffd> trappist: thanks.
[04:39] <rambo3> cliffd i tryed that , and at the end i had to compile it my self. mythgame was bugging
[04:40] <scrilla-> ballpointcarrot ill go with apache 2, its no biggie dude
[04:40] <ryanakca> trappist: error: http://rkavanagh.homelinux.org/~ryan/pythonerror
[04:41] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: all right.
[04:41] <scrilla-> thanks tho
[04:41] <ballpointcarrot> yep
[04:41] <computer13137> Hi.
[04:42] <scrilla-> Setting up apache (1.3.34-2ubuntu0.1) ...
[04:42] <scrilla-> dpkg: error processing apache (--configure):
[04:42] <scrilla->  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[04:42] <scrilla-> wtf?
[04:42] <zazeem> can someone help me? i get a lot of lag in counter strike source when i play on cedega, other games like call of duty run great, butcss lags.  it never lagged on windows. Also i posted here because cedega channel isnt answering after 1 hour
[04:42] <zazeem> and im on dapper
[04:42] <computer13137> I have a question.  I would like to run a Halo dedicated server on a server I have.  I do not have physical access to the server, as it is in a datacenter.  Is there any way, like using Wine, that I can run the Halo dedicated server on that server box?
[04:43] <phlite_> hey guys quick question, if you want kde with ubuntu, u want to just get a hold of kubuntu?
[04:43] <scrilla-> how do i find out a list of my installed packages from command line
[04:43] <petemc> dpkg -l
[04:43] <imbrandon> phlite_: yea
[04:44] <phlite_> imbrandon: k funny they don't just put em together eh
[04:44] <ompaul> phlite_, you can do that with sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop if you have a couple of gigs to spare
[04:44] <frogzoo> scrilla-: also, dpkg --get-selections
[04:44] <computer13137> !wine
[04:44] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:44] <TheGateKeeper> phlite_: if you have already installed ubuntu, you can install the KDE desktop enviroment
[04:45] <imbrandon> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop phlite_
[04:45] <imbrandon> also
[04:45] <ryanakca> computer13137: that's more of a #winehq question
[04:45] <computer13137> OK
[04:45] <computer13137> I couldn't find the Wine room
[04:45] <computer13137> Thanks
[04:46] <zazeem> can someone help me? i get a lot of lag in counter strike source when i play on cedega, other games like call of duty run great, butcss lags.  it never lagged on windows. Also i posted here because cedega channel isnt answering after 1 hour
[04:47] <ballpointcarrot> zazeem: try running cedega with an -opengl option.
[04:48] <Shish> Security update server still down o_O?
[04:48] <ballpointcarrot> zazeem: eg: cedega CStrike.exe -opengl
[04:48] <shawnr_> does vlc support quicktime?
[04:50] <scrilla-> how do i switch from gnome to DKE?
[04:50] <scrilla-> KDE, rather
[04:50] <rambo3> shawnr you mean , never mind , you need w32 codecs
[04:51] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: do you have KDE installed?
[04:51] <shawnr_> rambo3, i have them
[04:51] <scrilla-> ballpointcarrot apt-get install kde?
[04:51] <shawnr_> rambo3, mplayer can play them
[04:51] <scrilla-> i will install it in a bit
[04:51] <ballpointcarrot> scrilla: if you have room, do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:51] <scrilla-> do i need to get rid off gnome first?
[04:51] <scrilla-> whats kubuntu-desktop?
[04:51] <scrilla-> yeah, im uid0
[04:52] <scrilla-> whats kubuntu-desktop?
[04:52] <shawnr_> I can't get the vlc-mozilla plugin to work. i get a black box with white letters that say "no-picture"
[04:52] <ballpointcarrot> it gives you the basic setup for kubuntu, the kde-based ubuntu
[04:52] <cappiz> is there something really broken with ubuntu server install cd? wont load the kernel... xubuntu though works just fine
[04:52] <scrilla-> do i need to get rid off gnome first?
[04:52] <ballpointcarrot> no
[04:52] <scrilla-> what after i install kubuntu?
[04:52] <Shish> At the login screen you should get a choice of whether to log into kde or gnome
[04:52] <scrilla-> ah
[04:53] <scrilla-> thats nice
[04:53] <scrilla-> thanks
[04:53] <zazeem> ballpointcarrot: how? it just opens the gui
[04:53] <scrilla-> a quick thing
[04:53] <scrilla-> when i startx it does not show a "login" screen
[04:53] <scrilla-> whys that?
[04:53] <scrilla-> how do i enable it?
[04:53] <shawnr_> you don't have a login manager
[04:53] <shawnr_> or
[04:53] <tanlaan> hey everyone umm, I went to synaptic because the upgrade program said i needed to. And when i hit mark all upgrades, and hit apply, it just told me that it was gonna remove totem and ubuntu desktop
[04:53] <shawnr_> you have auto loging turned on
[04:53] <scrilla-> can i apt-get one?
[04:53] <tanlaan> is this ok?
[04:53] <ballpointcarrot> zazeem: at a terminal, type: cedega CStrike.exe -opengl
[04:53] <Shish> if you're starting X as a regular user, you're already logged in
[04:53] <zazeem> ok
[04:53] <scrilla-> yeah, im starting x as a regular user
[04:54] <Cha_Cha> hey all - ive got a question about ftp permissions. im not able to create directories or write to a directory through ftp, but i can through ssh. (warning - im a n00b)
[04:54] <scrilla-> do i need to install a login manager?
[04:54] <zazeem> im not using point 2 play i couldnt get it to wok
[04:54] <shawnr_> I can't get the vlc-mozilla plugin to work. i get a black box with white letters that say "no-picture"
[04:55] <ballpointcarrot> Cha_Cha: it depends on how the FTP server is set up.  check your server's config file.
[04:55] <Shish> to start the login screen (aka display manager) run "/etc/init.d/gdm start" as root (or kdm / xdm instead of gdm, depends on what's installed)
[04:55] <frogzoo> Cha_Cha: depends on the ftp server's settings - completely independent perms from the ext perms
[04:55] <scrilla-> before i start x?
[04:55] <Cha_Cha> ah ok
[04:56] <BeepAU> Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option
[04:56] <Shish> yeah, the *dm startup script starts X for itself
[04:56] <BeepAU> does that look familiar to anyone?
[04:56] <MrFatJack> I rebooted my recently installed Ubuntu 6.06 and now it just hangs after the GRUB loading please wait . . .  message. Any thoughts?
[04:56] <scrilla-> thanks
[04:56] <BeepAU> I can't get into Ubuntu, and that's the error message that comes up
[04:57] <BeepAU> what can I do to fix it?
[04:57] <frogzoo> BeepAU: if the kernel panics, that's a hard crash - there's nothing left to log into
[04:57] <cappiz> is there something really broken with ubuntu server install cd? wont load the kernel... xubuntu though works just fine
[04:57] <nikin> i have installed enemy territory and it complains about a missing file
[04:58] <BeepAU> frogzoo: so what? my whole os is gone?
[04:58] <lastnode> cappiz, is the cd media ok?
[04:58] <nikin> and i see only a black screen, the sound is ok... and asfar as i could check the program is working to
[04:58] <nikin> just i dont see nothing
[04:58] <smacky_wolf> Anyone have any clues how to install Darwinia in a 64bit Ubunut os?
[04:58] <frogzoo> BeepAU: not running - you can reboot of course
[04:58] <Shish> all the problems I've had with install CDs have been badly burned disks~
[04:58] <zazeem> ballpointcarrot: i dont have point 2 play it wont work, is there another way to run it in opengl?
[04:58] <[b] urk> nikin, did you try getting the file it was missing?
[04:58] <TheGateKeeper> MrFatJack: could be that you just need to reinstall grub, or there could be something more seriously wrong with you hard disk, in which case you need to check it out using badblocks
[04:58] <tanlaan> When i hit mark all upgrades, then hit apply it tells me that two programs will be removed totem and ubuntu-desktop, it doesnt say anything about replacing them, will this screw up my computer?
[04:58] <BeepAU> by reboot, do you mean re-install or will everything still be there?
[04:59] <nikin> Burk: not yet...
[04:59] <nikin> just a min
[04:59] <ballpointcarrot> zazeem: i don't know.
[04:59] <BeepAU> how can i reboot? sorry I'm a total linux n00b
[04:59] <frogzoo> BeepAU: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=Kernel+panic+-+not+syncing%3A+IO-APIC&orderby=-date_last_updated&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=Unconfirmed&field.status%3Alist=Confirmed&field.status%3Alist=In+Progress&field.status%3Alist=Needs+Info&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Committed&field.assignee=&field.owner=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_no_package=
[04:59] <jbroome> wow
[04:59] <lastnode> tanlaan, no it wont, afaik. ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, which means it can be safely removed. i think totem is one too. someone else here will be able to confirm
[04:59] <longwave> tanlaan: ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package that doesn't do anything on its own so you should be safe there, and i *think* the same goes for totem
[04:59] <smacky_wolf> BeepAU, System > Quit > restart
[05:00] <cappiz> lastnode yeah i would guess so... download the iso twice
[05:00] <BeepAU> frogzoo: thanks
[05:00] <cappiz> and burned it three times
[05:00] <cappiz> :S
[05:00] <MystaMax> I just set my IP address to something static, do I need to restart something from the CLI or anything, no GUI
[05:00] <tanlaan> thank you lastnode and longwave :D
[05:00] <Shish> ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, and it /can/ be removed, but you shouldn't ever need to  :-/
[05:00] <cappiz> im trying to install it on my laptop
[05:00] <lastnode> cappiz, md5sum it, or use the media check option on the first screen
[05:00] <lastnode> cappiz, also try and get it via bittorrent, as most clients these days hash check data
[05:00] <longwave> MystaMax: if the interface is eth0, "sudo ifdown eth0" then "sudo ifup eth0"
[05:01] <MrFatJack> I've booted off the install disk, mounted my boot drive but have not figured out how to reinstall grub from there. Can you point me in the right direction?
[05:01] <TheGateKeeper> wiki says you need meta packages if you do upgrades
[05:01] <zugu> anyone know if streamripper will work with rythmbox ?
[05:01] <lastnode> MrFatJack, open the livecd?
[05:01] <BeepAU> smacky_wolf: I can't get into Ubuntu, and I've tried restarting many times
[05:01] <lastnode> i mean bootup a live cd, and run grub from it?
[05:01] <cappiz> will do
[05:02] <smacky_wolf> BeepAU, Pm please?
[05:02] <cappiz> starnge thingys is that it passed the install, but when i want to boot my system it doesnt work
[05:02] <longwave> cappiz what laptop do you have? there are known issues with some models, you need to switch off acpi maybe
[05:02] <lastnode> cappiz, a byte or two is prolly missing somewhere
[05:02] <cappiz> just hangs, cant press num lock either
[05:02] <ballpointcarrot> MrFatJack: do you know the device name of your hd?
[05:02] <lastnode> oh wait
[05:02] <zachalekos> anyone knows how to fix this?  fglrxinfo
[05:02] <zachalekos> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:02] <zachalekos> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:02] <zachalekos> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!
[05:02] <lastnode> i didnt hear that part, what  longwave  said
[05:02] <lastnode> !paste
[05:02] <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)
[05:02] <cappiz> elitegroup g220
[05:02] <cappiz> longwave okey
[05:03] <MrFatJack> i know the name and have mounted it under the live cd
[05:03] <cappiz> but it works fine with xubuntu
[05:03] <cappiz> :P
[05:03] <lastnode> cappiz, try boot acpi=off <-- longwave, is that bootflag correct?
[05:03] <longwave> ah, thats a bit weird
[05:03] <MystaMax> longwave, thanks that worked great!
[05:03] <lastnode> cappiz, oh right, that's why i said it must be cd media.
[05:03] <longwave> yes lastnode
[05:03] <lastnode> cappiz, if xubuntu works fine, ubuntu should too
[05:04] <nikin> the file its missing is part of the game
[05:04] <ballpointcarrot> MrFatJack: at a terminal: grub-install /dev/hd* (whichever your hard drive is - commonly /dev/hda)
[05:04] <longwave> cappiz: if you have xubuntu installed, you can get ubuntu as well by installing the ubuntu-desktop packages
[05:04] <cappiz> lastnode, cant see how it can be it, download from 2 diff mirrors
[05:04] <cappiz> bured it 3 times
[05:04] <cappiz> none worked
[05:04] <cappiz> i want the server install
[05:04] <cappiz> cause im gonna install fluxbox
[05:04] <TheGateKeeper> MrFatJack: I would inclined to run badblocks on it first to check it's ok
[05:05] <TheGateKeeper> !grub > MrFatJack
[05:05] <cappiz> downloading the alternate version now, gonna see if it works
[05:05] <longwave> cappiz: i would stick with xubuntu while you get fluxbox up and running, then you can remove the xfce packages when you're ready
[05:05] <cappiz> okok...
[05:05] <cappiz> :)
[05:05] <MrFatJack> I'll run bad blocks but I'm confused as to what grub-install will install.
[05:05] <cappiz> ill try that afterwards
[05:05] <stefg>  wasn't there fluxbuntu?... i vaguely remember something like that
[05:05] <ryanakca> how do I reinstall python2.3? apt-get install --reinstall python2.3   gives me these errors: http://rkavanagh.homelinux.org/~ryan/pythonerror
[05:05] <cappiz> the media passed the test lastnode
[05:05] <longwave> stefg: that or fubuntu or something, i forget
[05:05] <FlimFlamMan> hi.  how do i delete a "network place"?  i get "operation not permitted".
[05:06] <stefg> http://www.fluxbuntu.org/
[05:06] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, you need root privileges to do that
[05:06] <TheGateKeeper> !grub > TheGateKeeper
[05:06] <lastnode> cappiz, wierd
[05:06] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: is it possible to do that from the desktop?
[05:06] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: and why, if i created it as a user?
[05:06] <cappiz> the strange thingy is that i have had breezy desktop installed before
[05:06] <smacky_wolf> BeepAU, join #lol
[05:06] <sethk> MrFatJack, grub install will install grub onto the MBR (in the typical configuration) and grub support to /boot/grub
[05:07] <scrilla-> when i type /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:07] <scrilla-> i get
[05:07] <longwave> ryanakca: why are you trying to reinstall python if it's already there? what is the "1 not fully installed or removed" package apt mentions?
[05:07] <scrilla-> * Starting GNOME DIsplay Mangar [FAIL]
[05:07] <scrilla-> whats up with that?
[05:07] <synic> scrilla-: check the log
[05:07] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, did you create it as the same user that you are now using to delete it?
[05:07] <smacky_wolf> Scrilla; got nVidia?
[05:07] <scrilla-> smacky_wolf : ATI
[05:07] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: yes
[05:07] <scrilla-> synic what log exactly, xorgs?
[05:07] <FlimFlamMan> (iirc)
[05:07] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, you can run the prog with root privileges, but you'll run from the command line, not from a menu.
[05:08] <smacky_wolf> scrilla: Ah.
[05:08] <smacky_wolf> !ati
[05:08] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:08] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: ok, how do i delete it from the command lind?
[05:08] <FlimFlamMan> line
[05:08] <scrilla-> dude
[05:08] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, My guess is that you have privileges to create the "place", in the same way you have privileges to mount a cd.
[05:08] <scrilla-> that makes no sense
[05:08] <scrilla-> my box was working a few minutes ago
[05:08] <TheGateKeeper> scrilla-: it is installed?
[05:08] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, assuming it is mounted, then you use umount
[05:08] <scrilla-> TheGateKeeper its in /etc/init.d I assume it is, how do i find out, dpkg -l |grep manager?
[05:08] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, mount (no arguments) lists current mounts
[05:09] <cappiz> how can i completly remoev all xubuntu packages ?
[05:09] <scrilla-> its installed
[05:09] <scrilla-> root@ubuntu:/home/scrilla# dpkg -l |grep gdm
[05:09] <scrilla-> ii  gdm                                    2.14.9-0ubuntu1                         GNOME Display Manager
[05:09] <FlimFlamMan> sethk: it's not mounted.  it appears to be a shortcut to a mount i created a long time ago
[05:09] <scrilla-> like
[05:09] <scrilla-> its there
[05:09] <TheGateKeeper> scrilla-: just thought I would ask :-)
[05:09] <SheaTara> !paste scrilla-
[05:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about paste scrilla- - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:10] <SheaTara> !paste >scrilla-
[05:10] <scrilla-> TheGateKeeper any idea of why it might not be working?
[05:10] <longwave> cappiz: uninstall xubuntu-desktop and all of its dependencies, listed at http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/misc/xubuntu-desktop
[05:10] <cappiz> :)
[05:10] <scrilla-> is X supposed to be launched?
[05:10] <stefg> cappiz: there is no single command for that. xubuntu-desktop is the meta-pack to install, you could go throuh it's dependancy-listing to find out, what xfce specific packs it depends on
[05:10] <longwave> cappiz: actually, not all of them. you will still want some of the daemons and X for fluxbox, amongst other things
[05:10] <scrilla-> or am i supposed to run gdm start from the console and it will automagically startx and show a login screen?
[05:10] <rambo3> just search synaptic for xubuntu and remove them
[05:11] <longwave> cappiz: but that will give you a list to choose from that you might not need
[05:11] <TheGateKeeper> scrilla-: I would guess X needs to be running
[05:11] <cappiz> jupp... but i can install that afterwards :)
[05:11] <scrilla-> let me try that, real quick yo
[05:11] <longwave> cappiz: there is no real problem with having unused packages installed except for a minor waste of disk space
[05:11] <keb> hi, can someone help me with grub install?
[05:11] <cappiz> well, im geek in that kind of way, want to have a clean system when i start
[05:11] <stefg> !grub > keb
[05:12] <scrilla-> it aint working
[05:12] <scrilla-> could someone, please, help me with GDM?
[05:12] <keb> thx...
[05:12] <keb> i know this
[05:12] <Shish> "/etc/init.d/gdm start" will start x for itself, and will start on boot AFAIK
[05:12] <lastnode_> scrilla-, "not working" does help
[05:12] <lastnode_> nt
[05:12] <scrilla-> Shish: it gives me "FAIL"
[05:12] <scrilla-> when i launch it
[05:12] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, look for a file by that name in $HOME/Desktop
[05:13] <orbin> scrilla-: why are you issueing start in the first place?
[05:13] <scrilla-> orbin: because i want to launch gdm?
[05:13] <sproingie> dammit, what happened to the us repository?
[05:13] <sproingie> i'm sick of the damn thing bouncing
[05:13] <synic> scrilla-: I said "check the log"
[05:13] <amarokker> Hi, i installed some fonts I downloaded (.pfm,pfb, ttf fonts)- all of 'em seem to show up properly on Wind0ws/Oowriter- but not on linux
[05:13] <scrilla-> i checked the log
[05:13] <ofer0> I want to authenticate a user over the network without sending his plain-text password over the network. How to do it?
[05:13] <amarokker> can someone explain to me why?
[05:13] <sethk> FlimFlamMan, the other place to look is in your $HOME/.gnome2 and $HOME/.gnome2_private
[05:13] <synic> and?
[05:13] <scrilla-> nothing usefull is there
[05:13] <amarokker> do i need to instsall them using root as well?
[05:13] <scrilla-> at least not in the xorg.0.log
[05:13] <orbin> scrilla-: afaik, it needs sudo in front
[05:14] <orbin> try that
[05:14] <stefg> keb: if you have a working ubuntu a sudo grub-install /dev/hdX (your hardrive) will do it for you
[05:14] <scrilla-> makes no sense
[05:14] <TheGateKeeper> scrilla-: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:DnqagGyjFBIJ:www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D120113+gdm+ubuntu&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=4&client=firefox
[05:14] <scrilla-> im starting it as root
[05:14] <sethk> Amaranth, you need to install them to a directory in the font search path.  Find that directory in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:14] <synic> scrilla-: paste the log somewhere (rafb.net/paste
[05:14] <longwave> scrilla-: paste the log in a pastebin, there may be something there you have missed
[05:14] <keb> stefg, i've tryed it but it doesnot work
[05:14] <scrilla-> hold up yo
[05:14] <sproingie> i have 28 updates to install and they're all 404.  what gives?
[05:14] <amarokker> Hello? am i invisible in here?
[05:15] <sethk> scrilla-, there have to be errors, either in the X log or in the console from which you start gdm.
[05:15] <synic> amarokker: please explain the steps you took and the result.
[05:15] <ryanakca> longwave: because I'm upgrading to edgy and the upgrade is giving me errors...
[05:15] <sethk> amarokker, sorry, tab completion sent my answer to Amaranth
[05:15] <Shish> sproingie: have you updated the package list recently?
[05:15] <longwave> ryanakca: you should probably ask in #ubuntu+1 if it's an edgy question
[05:15] <lastnode_> ryanakca, er, edgy is not supported here. go to #ubuntu+1
[05:15] <amarokker> synic: Step one: cp /path/to/fonts ~/.fonts/. -v
[05:15] <ryanakca> amarokker: yep!
[05:15] <sproingie> Shish: just did
[05:15] <scrilla-> http://rafb.net/paste/results/Krt3za40.html
[05:15] <scrilla-> there yo go
[05:15] <scrilla-> i just pasted it
[05:15] <sethk> amarokker, , , you need to install them to a directory in the font search path.  Find that directory in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:15] <longwave> haha :)
[05:16] <synic> sethk: nah, they should work in ~/.fonts too
[05:16] <stefg> keb: 2nd option is to boot a Live CD with grub, escape to the grub commandline and issue 'find /boot/grub/stage1' then 'root (hd0)' or whatever your hd is, 'setup (hd0)'..
[05:16] <Shish> maybe the american servers generally then, I can't get at security updates at all :-/
[05:16] <sproingie> Shish: fails with the update applet and aptitude.  the repository is hosed
[05:16] <amarokker> sethk: can I append the font path in xorg.conf
[05:16] <NChief> if I have ubuntu(GNOME) an I install kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop, will I be able to switch between GNOME, KDE and Xfce at startup?
[05:16] <NChief> snd*
[05:16] <sethk> amarokker, yes
[05:16] <lastnode_> NChief, yes you can
[05:16] <longwave> NChief: yes
[05:16] <FlimFlamMan>
[05:16] <toxicfume> hi all
[05:16] <sproingie> Shish: yep.  any recommendations on repos that work?
[05:16] <lastnode_> longwave, again! :P
[05:16] <TheGateKeeper> NChief: yep
[05:16] <synic> amarokker: you need to run fc-cache
[05:16] <sethk> amarokker, use sudo vi  (or sudo some-other-editor)
[05:16] <toxicfume> whats the bash command to scan for available wireless access points?
[05:16] <Shish> I'm using the UK mirrors of the main repository
[05:16] <longwave> oh man
[05:16] <synic> amarokker: after you put them in your ~/.fonts
[05:17] <NChief> longwave lastnode_ TheGateKeeper ok:) thx:)
[05:17] <scrilla-> synic shish there you go with the log, if i run "startx" X runs smoothly gdm is the bitch
[05:17] <longwave> lastnode_ fear not i am outta here for a while :)

[05:17] <jack__> i have a amd64 cpu, but i will run only 32-bit app. so i installed the 32-bit version kubuntu. which kernel is the best?
[05:17] <sethk> the font cache is produced automatically, you don't need to manually add fonts to it, unless you need them to show up without restarting X
[05:18] <bck> Hi, what is the safest way to update a running breezy to dapper? just change to dapper in /etc/apt/sources.list and dist-upgrade?
[05:18] <keb> live cd with grub?
[05:18] <stefg> !upgrade
[05:18] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[05:18] <frogzoo> jack__: 686 u need
[05:18] <bck> ubotu, thank you!
[05:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about thank you! - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:18] <stefg> keb: do you have an ubuntu Desktop-CD?
[05:19] <toxicfume> synic thanks!
[05:19] <TheGateKeeper> bck: best way I found was to install update-manager and use that, odd apps went missing when I tried it manually
[05:19] <keb> yes, an install/live cd, but it has no rescue option
[05:19] <scrilla-> any clue about my GDM issue?
[05:19] <scrilla-> i can normally launch gdmsetup from X
[05:20] <synic> scrilla-: check the gdm log
[05:20] <sproingie> Shish: looks like the uk mirrors are in better shape, thanks.
[05:20] <scrilla-> synic: ok sec
[05:20] <lastnode_> scrilla-, pastebin the logs
[05:20] <lastnode_> ubotu, tell scrilla- about paste
[05:21] <scrilla-> its only 2 lines
[05:21] <scrilla-> Error: Command could not be executed!
[05:21] <scrilla-> Please install the X server or correct GDM configuration and restart GDM.
[05:21] <keb> stefg: i have an install/live cd
[05:22] <[b] urk> do you know where the icon-themes for gnome are located?
[05:22] <scrilla-> thats the error, at least thats all i can see in /var/log/gdm/:0.log
[05:22] <keb> i've read all the how-to-s, but nothing helped me there
[05:22] <xScrewballx> good day eh?
[05:22] <synic> scrilla-: what if you just type gdm at the cli?
[05:22] <stefg> keb: that will do the job... boot it, but press [esc]  and then [c]  to get to grubs command line
[05:22] <scrilla-> hold up
[05:22] <Allen> hey everyone
[05:22] <scrilla-> "gdm already running. Aborting!
[05:23] <xScrewballx> NE1 up for a Samba printing question?
[05:23] <ardchoille> [b] urk: Should be in /usr/share/icons
[05:23] <lastnode_> !ask
[05:23] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:23] <scrilla-> there we go
[05:23] <scrilla-> i killed it, then launched gdm from init.d and presto!"
[05:23] <scrilla-> thanks synic.
[05:23] <Allen> hey my xconf isn't working right when I am not running a live CD what should I do?
[05:23] <stefg> scrilla-: paste your /etc/gdm/gdm.conf to pastebin
[05:23] <longwave> Allen: what's not right about it?
[05:23] <sethk> scrilla-, that's odd, I launch gdm from the command line all the time.
[05:23] <fourat> is there any gaim plugin to enable talking over jabber with gmail talk ?
[05:23] <synic> scrilla-: np
[05:24] <Allen> the screen blacks out
[05:24] <frogzoo> [b] urk: /usr/share/pixmaps/ ?
[05:24] <Allen> longwave: the screen blacks out
[05:24] <sethk> Allen, save the xorg.conf file created by the live cd and copy it into /etc/X11
[05:24] <scrilla-> that was whoa
[05:24] <scrilla-> actually
[05:24] <Allen> sethk: how do I do that?
[05:24] <scrilla-> what is better, gnome or kde?
[05:24] <scrilla-> generally speaking, opinate.
[05:25] <xScrewballx> I'm new to Ubuntu (but not Linux or computers)  and am setting up a new connection. I think I got the Windows pwds right but I still get /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 1!
[05:25] <stefg> !best
[05:25] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[05:25] <cappiz> lastnode, the alternate install cd worked :P
[05:25] <fourat> is there any gaim plugin to enable talking over jabber with gmail talk ?
[05:25] <cappiz> lol :>

[05:26] <shadeofgrey> could somebody take a minute and help me understand something about xchat
[05:26] <Allen> I can't access my HD from the live CD so how am I suppose to copy information form it?
[05:26] <synic> scrilla-: never heard of 'em
[05:26] <stefg> Allen: you have to mount the partitions first
[05:26] <scrilla-> brb.
[05:26] <sethk> Allen, I didn't say to copy it to your HD
[05:26] <shadeofgrey> how do i make xchat show results from channel queries show up in seperate private dialogue windows?
[05:26] <erUSUL> Allen: how did you mounted it?
[05:26] <sethk> Allen, however you can mount your HD partitions from the live cd.
[05:27] <sethk> Allen, or you can use a USB drive.  or you can sftp it somewhere.  etc.
[05:27] <lastnode_> shadeofgrey, #xchat has 130+ members, go there
[05:27] <Allen> so where am I copying the apps to?
[05:27] <xScrewballx> thanx stef but the printer is on the XP box not on mine
[05:27] <skavenge> got a friend with an old toshiba laptop, dinosaur, 300 mhz 128 megs of ram, if i alternate cd it and run fluxbox or something is it going to even be usable? or just crawl?
[05:28] <stefg> skavenge: xubuntu shold be fine for it
[05:28] <sethk> skavenge, it should be ok, not a screamer, of course, but tolerable
[05:28] <Allen> sorry not apps where am I copying the xconf to the /etc/x11 on the live CD?
[05:28] <skavenge> okay thanks guys someone killed his win95 and i was hoping to get ubuntu onto it for him ill give it a whirl
[05:29] <TheGateKeeper> skavenge: got a test box running a P3 128Mb RAM and breezy, KDE & XFce
[05:29] <skavenge> okay cool, i just didnt have any experience with hardware this old and ubuntu
[05:30] <sebsebseb> I have a Ubuntu and Kubuntu installed with their partions.  and XP and a lap top recovery partion.  this is just one 80GB hard disk.
[05:31] <sebsebseb> however Ubuntu/Kbuntu has ended up up with 15GB and I carn't reize that ext3 partion with QTParted or Gparted.  I read about two other progrmas for resizing them,  but I am not sure.
[05:31] <sebsebseb> or one other
[05:32] <phlite_> hi, tell me why in your opinion ubuntu is superior to gentoo, thx
[05:32] <Allen_> hey
[05:32] <stefg> ubuntu is an ancient african saying for 'I'm tired of compiling' :-)
[05:32] <phlite_> stefg: lol
[05:32] <Allen_> how do I copy my xconf ot my /etc/x11 on the live cd?
[05:33] <toxicaway> hi all
[05:33] <phlite_> stefg: interesting that its built on debian
[05:33] <toxicaway> where is the xorg.conf file located?
[05:33] <Allen_> I don't know that is why I am asking
[05:33] <phlite_> stefg: so they have to wait on debian to update code befoe they can put out a release?
[05:34] <Allen_> my graphics card doesn't work right when I am not using the liveCD
[05:34] <stefg> phlite_: actually this belongs to #ubuntu-offtopic, in short: reasonable defaults, lean and mean package selection, usability
[05:34] <Allen_> I was told I would have to copy the xconf form it to the /etc/x11 then I got disconnected
[05:34] <HaFa> hi, i use the vncviewer to connect to my windows system, but how can i send a ctrl+alt+del ?
[05:35] <toxicaway> where is the xorg.conf file located?
[05:35] <phlite_> stefg: k
[05:36] <Allen_> the live cd I guess
[05:37] <TheGateKeeper> HaFa: is there not a button on the top left of the window with a drop down menu that says send Ctrl+Alt+del?
[05:37] <jrib> Hi, how can I get the contents of the X clipboard?  'xsel' doesn't seem to work (outputs nothing even though middle click pastes something)
[05:37] <HaFa> i look it up

[05:38] <Pecisk_> how it was to regenerate all locales?
[05:38] <Allen_> how do I mount my hd form the live cd?
[05:38] <Ronz> Allen, mount -t <filesystem> /dev/hda1 /mount/point
[05:39] <petemc> you generally dont need to specify the fs
[05:39] <Allen_> Ronz is there a way to do if form the gui?
[05:40] <Ronz> Allen_, i dont know, only way that i know of is from the terminal. its not that hard
[05:40] <HaFa> thx2 TheGateKeeper
[05:40] <Allen_> Ronz, what does <filesystem> mean?
[05:40] <acojlo> acojlo loves gnome!
[05:40] <Ronz> say i wanted to mount my drive...hda1 that is ext3
[05:40] <TheGateKeeper> HaFa: you found it then. yw :-)
[05:40] <Ronz> it would sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /media/otherdrive
[05:41] <Allen_> ok
[05:41] <Ronz> that would mount the drive to /media/otherdrive with the FS of ext3
[05:41] <Ronz> but if its ntfs, fat32, reiserfs, etc
[05:41] <Allen_> ok got you
[05:41] <Ronz> =)
[05:41] <Fjodor> How would I go about making a, say 100Mb, ramdisk?
[05:41] <Ronz> fooood time...later
[05:42] <Allen_> thanks Ronz

[05:57] <ompaul> !enter
[05:57] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.

[05:58] <TokenBad> synic, rhytmbox not playing it
[05:58] <synic> TokenBad: did you install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg?
[05:58] <TokenBad> TheGateKeeper, I tried to install libxene-extracodecs and says not find them
[05:59] <TokenBad> synic, yes
[05:59] <jrib> fourat: gmail-notify works well for me
[05:59] <dapet> Anyone can give me the adress on documentation to set up wireless network? I have seen it before, but can't find it again (tried google and your homepage)... It were from here i got it.
[05:59] <Harkins> I'm doing an 'apt-get upgrade' and getting what loks like a 404 on a bunch of packacbes on us.archive.ubuntu.com. Anyone know if something's broken at the repos?
[05:59] <synic> TokenBad: try gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly - be sure to rescan the tracks
[05:59] <RES> im back
[05:59] <synic> dapet: quick asking that.  People have given you the asnwer a couple times already.
[05:59] <RES> yeah didn't run, right after i hit "download" it just freezes
[05:59] <TokenBad> synic, its already installed
[05:59] <TheGateKeeper> !libxine-extracodecs
[05:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about libxine-extracodecs - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:00] <synic> RES: you could try blackdown or an older jre
[06:00] <TheGateKeeper> TokenBad: ^^^^^

[06:00] <RES> ill do that
[06:00] <RES> thanks
[06:00] <XiXaQ> Allen_, try switching to tv mode and back... the manual sais something about that.
[06:00] <synic> TokenBad: when you say "it doesn't play them" do you mean it doesn't find them, or you get no sound when trying to play them?
[06:00] <TheGateKeeper> TokenBad: no good unless you are running the xine engine
[06:00] <Strykyr> i cantg et into su
[06:01] <Strykyr> authentication failure
[06:01] <synic> Strykyr: you shouldn't be able to.  use sudo
[06:01] <Strykyr> kk

[06:01] <Strykyr> Thank You
[06:01] <TokenBad> synic, it like beeps through it...its 4 meg file...and just kinda beeps and then says done playing
[06:01] <synic> TokenBad: you sure this is a good file?
[06:02] <Strykyr> typing dhclient eth0: permission denied 3 times
[06:02] <TokenBad> synic, yes
[06:02] <Strykyr> sorry..
[06:03] <Strykyr> permission denied twice and operation not permitted
[06:03] <synic> Strykyr: what did you type?
[06:03] <synic> Strykyr: gotta type sudo dhclient
[06:03] <Strykyr> ok
[06:03] <Strykyr> Thank You
[06:04] <cowmilk> guys, i have a hardware-installation question
[06:04] <synic> TokenBad: you could try amarok or exaile or something...
[06:04] <linuxboy> how does my ubuntu know if it must get i386 or amd64 packages ?
[06:04] <SogniX> anyone know what speed in MBs I should be getting between two Gigabit capable computers over a Gigabit switch?
[06:04] <cowmilk> i'm getting the best parts from 2 computers and making just one computer. does it matter what order I have the hard drives?
[06:04] <synic> TokenBad: or use the xine engine in amarok like TheGateKeeper said
[06:04] <cowmilk> when i put 2 hard drives into one computer, do i have to instal Ubuntu on both?
[06:04] <h3h_timo> i have a hda intel sound card in my laptop, last time i was running ubuntu, the sound was working fine, now, i started playing a song, and about 30 seconds in, the sound just shut off, any suggestions?
[06:04] <synic> cowmilk: no
[06:04] <cowmilk> synic: no to which question?\
[06:05] <ag0ny> is there a way i can change the color of the clock applet font? or the color of the font for the toolbars in general?
[06:05] <Strykyr> ok
[06:05] <Strykyr> nic isnt talking
[06:05] <Strykyr> I'll Be Back In A Bit
[06:05] <synic> cowmilk: to both.
[06:05] <jrib> ag0ny: you can use a different theme
[06:05] <jrib> !theme > ag0ny
[06:06] <SogniX> my gigabit network is really crawling, and I've no idea why... anyone know what I could look at to resolve the problem (or at least squeze some more speed out of it)?
[06:06] <maxkelley> anyone know how to get OTF fonts working in ubuntu?
[06:06] <ag0ny> jrib: what does the theme change to change to color of the fonts?
[06:07] <ag0ny> jrib: this should be in some files or something
[06:07] <keb> it seems no one knows here anything.. i'm tryin since some hours to reinstall my grub
[06:07] <synic> keb: that's not a good way to ask for help.
[06:07] <maxkelley> keb: there's a billion people asking questions and a handful to answer them.
[06:07] <keb> i know... but if i asked for help, i didnot got any
[06:07] <keb> i know this too
[06:08] <jrib> ag0ny: yes, when you install a theme, it gets put in ~/.themes.  Just browse the contents of one and see if you can find it.  There is a tutorial on art.gnome.org, I don't know the file name offhand
[06:08] <mcphail> keb: stefg was helpig you earlier
[06:08] <keb> i got every time: read the how-to
[06:08] <maxkelley> keb: I just asked a question about OTF fonts. chances are, I won't get an answer.
[06:08] <keb> he couldnot help
[06:08] <ag0ny> keb: did you try google with this really common question? i could find an answer in my language in less then 10 seconds :)
[06:08] <MaDSeN> how do i change terminal charset to iso-8859-15?
[06:08] <keb> yah, i tryed
[06:09] <jrib> how can I get the contents of the X clipboard?  'xsel' doesn't seem to work (outputs nothing even though middle click pastes something)
[06:09] <`JB> What is Ubuntu solution to Secure File Deletion?
[06:09] <arha> hello
[06:09] <synic> `JB: shred
[06:10] <`JB> thanx
[06:10] <h3h_timo> !kernel
[06:10] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:10] <mcphail> keb: Perhaps being more specific would help. Just saying "it doesn't work" isn't very useful for people who can't see your machine
[06:10] <synic> maxkelley: wtf are OFT fonts?
[06:10] <keb> i wrote the error messages too
[06:10] <arha> does anyone know how to tell ubuntu to use some specific resolution as default resolution instead of always booting into 1024x768, regardless what i told it last time ?
[06:11] <synic> maxkelley, keb - you both need to read this: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[06:11] <synic> before you start insulting people who could possibly help you
[06:11] <marioch> does any one have cursor corruption when xinerama is enable on ubuntu 6.06?, I have an ATI radeon 9600 with latest ATI drivers, and my cursor gets corrupted once that I move my mouse to my second screen.
[06:11] <mcphail> keb: /lastlog keb does not have any error messages
[06:11] <keb> i have enough from small questions, i've read hundreds of them today
[06:12] <synic> keb: repeat your question.  I didn't see it, so I can't really answer it.
[06:12] <synic> your grub apparently doesn't work
[06:12] <pedda> I've just installed Ubuntu server 6.06 dapper and I can not use Swedish characters. If I serve a HTML page with Swedish characters they show up as "?". I've tried switching locale to sv_SE.ISO-8859 but no luck. Is something wrong with the character set?
[06:13] <keb> my grub was installed to hda1, which is an ntfs, my xubuntu is on hda5, which is extended
[06:13] <MaDSeN> pedda: I have same problem.. just with danish charset
[06:13] <keb> my mobile rack made my hda1 wrong, i could recover it, but grub still doesnot work
[06:13] <alex_dinamo> Hello there, people!
[06:13] <synic> keb: have you booted to a livecd?
[06:14] <keb> i use now the install/live disk to try to repair it
[06:14] <homerh_linux> hiya ppl is there any way to access my linux box with xdmcp from windows
[06:14] <scrilla-> yo
[06:14] <synic> keb: ok... are you at the grub> prompt?
[06:14] <keb> but it has no rescue options at the booting
[06:14] <scrilla-> how do i make my system use http_proxy
[06:14] <scrilla-> like
[06:14] <homerh_linux> hiya ppl btw
[06:14] <ag0ny> MaDSeN, pedda: did you install the locales for firefox?
[06:14] <scrilla-> i have to do export http_proxy=etc from bash
[06:14] <synic> keb: sudo grub
[06:14] <alex_dinamo> I want to try Ubuntu, currently I'm a Gentoo user
[06:14] <scrilla-> every time i want to update something, because we are behind a proxy
[06:14] <alex_dinamo> could someone answer some questions for me?
[06:14] <scrilla-> how do i set my proxy manually on my system
[06:14] <arha> excuse me, does anyone know how to tell ubuntu to use some specific resolution as default resolution instead of always booting into 1024x768, regardless what i told it last time ?
[06:14] <keb> ok, i'm in grub prompt
[06:15] <synic> keb: type root (hd0,4)
[06:15] <MaDSeN> ag0ny: its in terminal I don't get the right charset... have changed locales
[06:15] <synic> keb: then setup (hd0)
[06:15] <mcphail> homerh_linux: don't know about that, but nxclient works well
[06:15] <alex_dinamo> Do someone here yse Ubuntu on an Amd64
[06:15] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: used to
[06:15] <keb> (hd0,4) is = with my hda4?
[06:15] <pedda> ag0ny : For Firefox?
[06:15] <synic> no, that's hda5
[06:16] <alex_dinamo> mcphail, not any more, why?
[06:16] <lukaswayne9> how can I insatll a package from a certain repo?
[06:16] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: too much hassle for the modest performance gain
[06:16] <ag0ny> pedda: yes, there are specific locale packages for firefox
[06:16] <pedda> ag0ny : I've installed localeconf and tried different locales but no luck.
[06:16] <alex_dinamo> Imcphail, Ok, so you moved to the standard x86 build, right?
[06:16] <ag0ny> MaDSeN: what does "echo $LANGUAGE" give as answer?
[06:16] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: yes
[06:16] <Whoopie> Hi, just updated all my packages and tried suspend and hibernate from the gdm login screen. suspend works, but when trying hibernate, it tells me something about "legitimation failed". Any ideas?
[06:16] <homerh_linux> thanks mcphail will google
[06:17] <pedda> MaDSeN : Any luck in solving the problem, any hints?
[06:17] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: What kind of hassle did you find?
[06:17] <keb> synic, u're great
[06:17] <keb> i hope it works
[06:17] <synic> good luck
[06:17] <keb> thx
[06:17] <MaDSeN> pedda: I cant figure it out
[06:17] <ag0ny> pedda: open synaptic, search for firefox and install the locale for your language
[06:17] <synic> brb, gotta run to the bank
[06:17] <pedda> ag0ny : Why would I need a specific character set for Firefox?
[06:17] <MaDSeN> ag0ny: gives me da_DK:da:en_GB:en
[06:17] <ben_> hey guys
[06:17] <ben_> woops
[06:17] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: running a chroot for binary apps is easy enough, but they cause problems trying to run in fullscreen etc. In the end I accidently borked my install, and couldn't be bothered setting it all up again
[06:18] <cowmilk> synic: thanks. so if I'm going to do a fresh install of Ubuntu (actually Xubunu), how do i ansewer the questions regarding Partitioning of drive(s)?
[06:18] <pedda> ag0ny : It would be best if Apache could server pages with the correct characters, right?!
[06:18] <linuxd00d> does anyone have any idea about installing .BIN files
[06:18] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: And you find small the performance difference?
[06:18] <ag0ny> MaDSeN: seems correct...sorry, then i dont know :(
[06:18] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: yes, but it is noticeable
[06:19] <cowmilk> If I have 2 hard drives, and I'm going to do an install of Ubuntu, will the installer not want to partition both hard drives?
[06:19] <TheGateKeeper> linuxd00d: make them executable then run them
[06:19] <MaDSeN> ag0ny: well thnx for taking the time
[06:19] <linuxd00d> how would i do that ,thegatekeeper
[06:19] <mcphail> cowmilk: you can partition however you see fit
[06:19] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: I'm currently using Gentoo Amd64 and I'm kinda getting tired of not finding some packages, windows codecs, for instance...
[06:19] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: Some java problems, etc.
[06:19] <linuxd00d> should i cahnge the extension to .exe or .sh?
[06:19] <MaDSeN> anyone else know how to to get ubuntu to show danish charset correctly? :)
[06:20] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: So I'm maybe willing to pay the price since I will later move to an X2 processor
[06:20] <pedda> MaDSen : ag0ny : It's not a client issue, it's a server issue. It doesn't use the correct characters.
[06:20] <cowmilk> mcphail: but that's the thing. I don't know what is fit
[06:20] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: yes. Same problems wherever you go. Such is closed-source life!
[06:20] <cowmilk> mcphail: if you could , please advise
[06:20] <ag0ny> pedda: ah, that something diffrent then and i understood your problem wrong :)
[06:20] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: Yes, but you can find those codecs for x86 Linux!
[06:20] <mcphail> cowmilk: do you want ubuntu to have access to both disks?
[06:20] <sethk> linuxd00d, file extensions have no significance in unix
[06:20] <pedda> MadSen: Do you get these errors? locale -a
[06:20] <pedda> locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
[06:20] <pedda> locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
[06:20] <TheGateKeeper> sudo chmod +x nameofyourfile.bin then ./nameofyourfile.bin to execute it
[06:20] <pedda> locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
[06:20] <cowmilk> mcphail: yes
[06:21] <sethk> any file can be executable.  chmod +x filename    is the command to make filename executable
[06:21] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: finding codecs for XP64 is tough as well
[06:21] <linuxd00d> oh yeah
[06:21] <mcphail> cowmilk: do you have anything you want to keep on either disk?
[06:21] <linuxd00d> learnt that already
[06:21] <cowmilk> mcphail: are you implying that some people don't want ubuntu to have access to both disks?
[06:21] <linuxd00d> cheers
[06:21] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: for Windows 64, really? Didn't know that
[06:21] <cowmilk> mcphail: nope
[06:21] <TitusRevised> *HELP*
[06:22] <cowmilk> mcphail: I'd like to get rid of all stuff, including the windows 98 os
[06:22] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: ubuntu/gentoo64 are far slicker than windows
[06:22] <sethk> alex_dinamo, I agree; I suspect your issue is more 64 bit availability than distro related.  I am quite satisfied with my 64 bit ubuntu boxes.
[06:22] <TitusRevised> How do I install Ubuntu Linux without erasing Windows and everything on my hard drive?
[06:22] <cowmilk> mcphail: actualcly, one hard drive has already been wiped clean with a fresh install of Xubuntu
[06:22] <sethk> cowmilk, if you want the install to use all available space and erase everything currently there, it has an option for that.
[06:22] <alex_dinamo> mcphail, sethk: well, Gentoo has its wooes... Sometimes I feel it's very demanding
[06:22] <mcphail> cowmilk: ask the installer to take over the whole disk. if it diesn't also wipe the 2nd disk, I can guide you through that later
[06:23] <TheGateKeeper> TitusRevised: dualboot
[06:23] <arha> noone here who knows how to tell ubuntu to use some specific default screen resolution instead of always booting into 1024x768?
[06:23] <TitusRevised> dualboot?
[06:23] <cowmilk> sethk: nice to hsee you again. Do you mean in "guided partitioning"?
[06:23] <cowmilk> mcphail: no you can't
[06:23] <MaDSeN> TitusRevised: make a free unformated partition on your win disk.. boot ubuntu an install on that
[06:23] <alex_dinamo> mcphail, sethk: VEry geek oriented, feels nice to be that geek for some time, but you can get tired and just want tit to work, if you know what I mean
[06:23] <cowmilk> mcphail: becaues i won't be having any more hard drives for which to chat with you.
[06:23] <sethk> alex_dinamo, I won't allow gentoo to be used on any of my projects.  I'm certainly not pushing it.  However, as far as codecs, I don't think it is gentoo's fault.
[06:23] <TitusRevised> Ok thanks
[06:23] <TheGateKeeper> TitusRevised: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6104490811311898236
[06:23] <cowmilk> mcphail: or am i mistaken?
[06:24] <d0sbeen> sethk: funny thing- after i ran fc-cache, restarted X- the fonts I am trying to work with isnt showing up on openoffice writer.
[06:24] <mcphail> cowmilk: i really don't understand what you are asking
[06:24] <d0sbeen> but it works on gimp.
[06:24] <alex_dinamo> sethk; you're right, I think I mixed two concerns on the same chat :D
[06:24] <cowmilk> once, i put 2 hard drives into one computer, i can't chat with you unless the install is suceesful
[06:24] <shurik> hi, i'd like to forward email from my box. does anyone know a good howto for ubuntu 6.06? thanks!
[06:24] <cowmilk> mcphail: i've got these 2 old win98 PCs.
[06:24] <sethk> d0sbeen, you should have to update the font cache manually.  you'll find the font path printed out in the X log.  check and make sure it is using the path you intended.
[06:25] <iNToIT> hello
[06:25] <cowmilk> mcphail: i want to combine both hard drives into one comptuer. and convert that computer into ubuntu.
[06:25] <Badm4n> how to show ubuntu version on console ?
[06:25] <cowmilk> does this make sense?
[06:25] <iNToIT> I'll think about it
[06:25] <mcphail> cowmilk: aah, I see! Don't worry - once you have a running ubuntu system (even if it is just using one disk) we can set up the 2nd disk no problem! :)
[06:25] <cowmilk> ok
[06:25] <sethk> cowmilk, just install both drives, then during the install, say use all space.  it's very simple.
[06:25] <mcphail> cowmilk: just use the default installation
[06:25] <cowmilk> sethk: the installer will know that i have 2 hard drives together?
[06:26] <mcphail> cowmilk: don't worry about partitioning manually at present
[06:26] <sethk> cowmilk, sure.
[06:26] <wubrgamer> hey i wAS wondering how to install windows via a vmx machine ?
[06:26] <mcphail> wubrgamer: wrong channel
[06:26] <cowmilk> ok. so if my hardware hacking is successful, i shoudl end up with a 256 mb box, 500 mhZ . is this not good enought for Ubuntu?
[06:26] <Badm4n> how to show ubuntu version on console ?
[06:26] <cowmilk> Should i go down to Xubuntu?
[06:27] <mcphail> cowmilk: if ubuntu runs slow, you should be able to change to xubuntu
[06:27] <alex_dinamo> Please, I don't mean to start a flamewar, but what is currently better on Ubuntu: gnome or KDE?
[06:27] <TheGateKeeper> cowmilk: I have a testbox which is a P3 128Mb RAM running KDE & XFce
[06:27] <cowmilk> if i have xubuntu, can i use all the programs i have used in Ubuntu?
[06:27] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: whatever you prefer
[06:27] <TheGateKeeper> yes
[06:27] <cowmilk> p3 what?
[06:27] <cabuloso> anyone know how can i install skins on gaim ?
[06:28] <mcphail> cowmilk: yes, but the xubuntu desktop has fewer features
[06:28] <arha> hello?
[06:28] <cowmilk> TheGateKeeper: how many mHz?
[06:28] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: ok
[06:28] <cowmilk> mcphail: aside from no Garbage Can, what other features are lacking in xubuntu?
[06:28] <TheGateKeeper> cowmilk: not sure but slower than yours I think
[06:28] <cowmilk> TheGateKeeper: and how is your box when you're running kubuntu?
[06:29] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: cowmilk the list is long. GNOME is a complex (and slightly bloated) environment
[06:29] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: sorry, that last one wasn't for you!
[06:29] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: ok, I see... you find KDE more streamlined?
[06:29] <cowmilk> if i use gnome programs on xubuntu, will my xubuntu slow down to Ubuntu  speed?
[06:29] <TheGateKeeper> cowmilk: fine, synaptic is a rather slow when doing a search, but it's useable, and what I used until I eventually but dapper on this box
[06:30] <mcphail> alex_dinamo: no, gnome is my favourite. I don't mind bloat
[06:30] <alex_dinamo> mcphail: ok
[06:30] <cowmilk> for examples of Gnome programs: rythimbox
[06:30] <mcphail> cowmilk: no
[06:30] <arha> excuse me?
[06:31] <Strykyr> Sudo dhclient eth0: three no such device
[06:31] <cowmilk> mcphail: sethk. um. i shoudl tell you that one hard drive already has a fresh install of xubunu
[06:31] <alex_dinamo> Slightly off-topic, but I will want to use a linksys USB WiFi module to connecto to my AP with Ubuntu... Do you think I will have any luck?
[06:31] <mcphail> cowmilk: does it work?
[06:32] <cowmilk> when i combine the other hard drive, is it necessary to do a fresh install of xubuntu on the 2hard-drives-in one-pc computer?
[06:32] <cabuloso> i have some skins for gaim but i don't know how to install, anyone can help me ?
[06:32] <mcphail> cowmilk: no
[06:32] <cowmilk> mcphail: yes, it works nicely
[06:32] <mcphail> cowmilk: the 2nd hard drive is easy to add
[06:32] <dinamizador> hola
[06:32] <cowmilk> mcphail: the hard drive with the fresh install of xubuntu is 6 gb. the other hard drive is 12 gb. deos it matter which one is the "main" drive?
[06:33] <cowmilk> for some reason, i'm thinking that it's best to have 12 gb drive as my "main" hard drive.
[06:33] <cowmilk> what do you guys think
[06:33] <mcphail> cowmilk: not really. Are you just pallning to use the 12 gigs for storage?
[06:33] <cowmilk> won't the drive with the Xubuntu OS be the one where most activities happen?
[06:33] <mcphail> *planning
[06:33] <cowmilk> mcphail: well what else can a hard drive be used for?
[06:33] <sethk> cowmilk, it makes no difference, really.
[06:34] <burepe> I am setting up apache and the faq I am usinig says "You may want your current user to be the PHP pages administrator. To do so, edit the Apache configuration file :
[06:34] <burepe> $ gksudo "gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf"
[06:34] <burepe> Search both the strings starting by "User" and "Group", and change the names by the current username and groupname you are using. Then you'll need to restart Apache. (look at the next chapter concerning apache commands) " but after I did that I got the error "Syntax error on line 101 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
[06:34] <burepe> Invalid command 'burepe', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration"
[06:34] <cowmilk> mcphail: that question was not asked rhetorocialy.
[06:34] <cowmilk> 8-)
[06:34] <mcphail> cowmilk: if you are installing a lot of things from synaptic, they will be added to your original disk because /usr/bin/ lives there
[06:34] <cowmilk> sethk: but what if my xubuntu becomes larger than my 6 gb drive? won't it slow down if Xubuntu is spread to 2 drives?
[06:35] <cowmilk> mcphail: that's what i mean
[06:35] <arha> ...
[06:35] <cowmilk> mcphail: i don't know how much things i'll be installing from synaptic (oh by the way, i'm going to be using Xubuntu. There's no synaptic in Xubuntu, is there?)}
[06:36] <mcphail> cowmilk: there are ways around this if you start to run out of space.
[06:36] <Strykyr> Sudo dhclient eth0: three no such device
[06:36] <cowmilk> mcphail: butt those ways means 'slowing down"?
[06:36] <cowmilk> a slow down?
[06:36] <mcphail> cowmilk: no, why would it?
[06:36] <TheGateKeeper> cowmilk: you can use synaptic in xfce if you want to
[06:37] <nekostar> W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/totem/totem-xine_1.4.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[06:37] <nekostar>   404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[06:37] <nekostar> ~_~
[06:37] <mcphail> cowmilk: if you have your apps and data spread across 2 disks, things should run _faster_
[06:37] <nekostar> wtf is wrong with the repositories
[06:37] <cowmilk> mcphail: well, i guess it won't slow down.  i was thinking that the secondary drive would be a bit slower to access.... like a floppy drive
[06:37] <cowmilk> mcphail: faster? wow. cool. never knew that.
[06:38] <cowmilk> ok. let me just confirm with a crazy question: if you had a 2 gig hard drive and a 1,000 gig hard drive, which would you make as your main?
[06:38] <MoNkUnClE> i am having issues with my repositories and synaptic
[06:38] <MoNkUnClE> it tells me i have duplicate entries
[06:38] <MoNkUnClE> but i didn't add anything
[06:39] <TheGateKeeper> he is itching to have the 12gb hd as the main one :-)
[06:39] <mcphail> cowmilk: let's put it this way: 2 gig is too small to hold /bin /usr /etc /home all in one on a modern system
[06:39] <cowmilk> TheGateKeeper: nope. just confirming
[06:39] <amee2k> hi all
[06:39] <mcphail> cowmilk: but with disks of your size, I wouldn't worry about the finer points of partitioning
[06:39] <cowmilk> mcphail: ok. change that. say you have a 3 gig and a 1,000,000 gig hard dirve...
[06:40] <h3h_timo> could someone help me install a 686 kernel??? ive heard that it makes ubuntu run faster with a centrino duo processor
[06:40] <nekostar> MoNkUnClE, i think the repositories are borked
[06:40] <nekostar> yet again ~_~
[06:40] <mcphail> cowmilk: i'd use LVM
[06:40] <MoNkUnClE> it was fine for a while but now i dloaded an update and it's back again
[06:40] <mcphail> cowmilk: ;p
[06:40] <cowmilk> mcphail: let's not talk about lvm.
[06:40] <cowmilk> 8-)
[06:41] <cowmilk> mcphail: pardon my crazy questions. i just want to start off on the right foot
[06:41] <Strykyr> Sudo dhclient eth0: three no such devices
[06:41] <mcphail> cowmilk: with that setup, i'd have /boot /etc and /var on the 3 gig drive and everything else on the<PHONE_NUMBER>0gig
[06:41] <nekostar> and something bad happened with the last update of the sh interperator
[06:41] <nekostar> ~_~
[06:42] <cowmilk> so with my set up... you'd have boot/etc and varr on 6 gig and everything else on  12 gig?
[06:42] <arha> so does anybody here know something about default screen resolutions under ubuntu?
[06:42] <h3h_timo> could someone please explain the difference between the 686 and 386 kernels???
[06:42] <mcphail> cowmilk: no. You'd be wasting your time fretting about this on drives of that capacity
[06:42] <cowmilk> mcphail: ok.
[06:42] <cowmilk> so let's not wastte time
[06:42] <cowmilk> what shoudl i do now?
[06:43] <cowmilk> the 6gig drive has  a reesh install of xubuntu
[06:43] <arha> no?
[06:43] <cowmilk> the 12 gig still has win98
[06:43] <n3rdism> Hello, everyone. I just connected my new 20.1" widescreen LCD monitor. And when i try to change the resolution to widescreen, there are only a few choices. None of which are widescreen. I have my nvidia drivers working but maybe this is an issue. Can anyone help?
[06:43] <arha> then please say so..
[06:43] <mcphail> cowmilk: you want to use your 12gig drive to store your movies, mp3s etc?
[06:43] <cowmilk> mcphail: that's what i don't know
[06:43] <cowmilk> i've never had 2 drives in one computer in my life before
[06:43] <arha> n3rdism: maybe you need to add the resolutions you want to your Xorg configuration?
[06:43] <amee2k> i just installed vmware server on ubuntu following the descrtbtion at help.ubuntu.com. in addition to the required packages mentioned on the web site i also had to install the following packages to get the vmware-configure.pl script working: libX11 libx11-6 libxtst6 libxt6 libxrender1  -  Q: what should i do about this issue?
[06:43] <cowmilk> so i don't know what to do
[06:43] <mcphail> cowmilk: then just leave the drive for now until you know what you want to do with it.
[06:44] <arisa_> ey
[06:44] <arisa_>  ke
[06:44] <arisa_> mas
[06:44] <burepe> Can someone look at this page and help me with the "Edit Apache Configuration"?
[06:44] <arisa_> miren yo soy nuevo en esto de linux
[06:44] <cowmilk> mcphail: so you mean i shoudl just use one 6 gig drive for now?
[06:44] <arisa_> y ubuntu
[06:44] <cowmilk> what if i decide that i want to use the 12 gig drive?
[06:44] <cowmilk> ... laterr on.
[06:44] <arisa_> por favor podran ensearme a manejar este sistema operativo
[06:44] <d0sbeen> Hi, i am getting 'cant read superblock' error on one of my backup partitions in vfat32
[06:44] <cowmilk>  will it be easy to move things around?
[06:44] <linuxd00d> arisa_ !esp
[06:44] <d0sbeen> does this mean recovery is impossible?
[06:44] <mcphail> cowmilk: if you have no reason to use the 12gig drive, why bother just now? You can pull it into action later when you have a use for it
[06:45] <burepe> !spanish
[06:45] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[06:45] <linuxd00d> !ESP
[06:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about ESP - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[06:45] <cowmilk> mcphail: willl it be easy to pull into action?
[06:45] <arha> n3rdism: maybe you didnt yet configure your xserver apropriately for your new nvidia driver. do that either with ,,sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'' in a terminal window, or with ,,sudo xorgcfg'' or so. first option recommended..
[06:45] <mcphail> cowmilk: yes, very easy
[06:45] <cowmilk> and easy to move stuff from the 6 gb to the 12 gb?
[06:45] <n3rdism> arha: thanks dood :)
[06:45] <mcphail> cowmilk: yes
[06:45] <amee2k> o.O
[06:45] <cowmilk> ok
[06:45] <arha> n3rdism: dood?
[06:46] <bck> I get an error updating my system from breezy to dapper with update-manager. The following Error spawns when the update-manager wants to install coreutils_5.93-5ubuntu4_i386.deb: dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/share/man/man1/md5sum.textutils.1.gz' with
[06:46] <bck>   different file `/usr/share/man/man1/md5sum.1.gz', not allowed
[06:46] <n3rdism> arha: sry lol habbit. thanks tho
[06:46] <h3h_timo> !kernel
[06:46] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:46] <arha> n3rdism: you're welcome.
[06:46] <cowmilk> mcphail: ok. thank you for you time. you too sethk. i gotta do some more hardware tweaking
[06:46] <cowmilk> bfe for now
[06:46] <arha> so...... Does anybode here know how to tell ubuntu what of the usable screen resolutions should be used as default ?
[06:47] <erUSUL> !fixres > arha
[06:47] <burepe> arha you have to edit the xconfiguration file
[06:47] <amee2k> anything?
[06:47] <linuxd00d> system-preferences-screen resolution arha
[06:47] <burepe> arha I have not done it though
[06:47] <UJ> hey
[06:47] <linuxd00d> hi
[06:47] <arha> linuxd00d: that's what i did
[06:48] <linuxd00d> has it not saved arha
[06:48] <arha> it always switches back to 1024x768 on a new boot
[06:48] <UJ> i'm trying to install kubuntu 6.06 from the livecd and while manually partitioning the disk i do not see the option to choose reiserfs
[06:48] <mcphail> arha: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:48] <d0sbeen> I'd like to repeat myself,
[06:48] <arha> i have clicked "Use as default" in system-preferences-screen, and also Save session when logging out
[06:48] <d0sbeen> i am getting 'cant read superblock' error on one of my backup partitions in vfat32
[06:48] <UJ> any clue what might be wrong?
[06:48] <arha> mcphail: already did that.
[06:48] <d0sbeen> does this mean recovery is impossible?
[06:48] <arha> burepe: where in the xorg.conf do i set the *default* resolution?
[06:48] <linuxd00d> urgh might be a bug
[06:49] <amee2k> well, nothing then...
[06:49] <keb> re
[06:49] <erUSUL> UJ: ithink that you will have to use alternate cd to be able to choose reiserfs
[06:49] <erUSUL> arha: have you checked the msg from ubotu?
[06:50] <UJ> erUSUL - what alternate cd are you talking about? i do see reiserfs utilities on the cd i have
[06:50] <erUSUL> !alternate
[06:50] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-installation CD, with no live session. Use this if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an expert install.
[06:50] <arha> erUSUL: yes.
[06:50] <arha> erUSUL: and all of that didnt work
[06:51] <arha> erUSUL: i can set 1280x1024 resolution just fine. but i have to do it each time after i rebooted.
[06:51] <UJ> erUSUL: thanks
[06:51] <arha> 1280x1024 is first entry in Modes lines for all Depths,
[06:51] <arha> and i could set the monitor specs with dpkg-reconfigure as well, but still it didnt work
[06:52] <jrib> inside\n
[06:52] <TitusRevised> *HELP* I don't have a CD burner. How can I make a new partition to install Linux on?
[06:53] <arha> erUSUL: do you have any other ideas?
[06:53] <nikin> hy
[06:53] <LuisMendes> which command is equivalent to XP's 'ipconfig/renew'?
[06:53] <dapet_> How do you tjek what interface my USB wireless adapter is usin?
[06:53] <erUSUL> arha: sorry no :(
[06:54] <arha> hmpf..
[06:54] <erUSUL> LuisMendes: ifconfig or dhclient
[06:54] <nikin> Luis mendes "ifconfig down" and after "ifconfig up" should do the job
[06:54] <longwave> LuisMendes: "sudo ifdown eth0" then "sudo ifup eth0" where eth0 is your interface
[06:55] <sobersabre> hi, How can I setup apt so that if package is on the CD, it will use the CD, and if it isn't - it shall go for the repository
[06:55] <LuisMendes> http://www.guiadohardware.net/comunidade/liberar-ip/92356/
[06:55] <arha> does anyone else have any ideas where to set the *default* screen resolution?
[06:55] <sobersabre> I mean the preference between the source.
[06:56] <mcphail> arha: using the "medium" or "advanced" setting for monitors for dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg not helping?
[06:56] <jrib> sobersabre: list the cd first in your sources.list
[06:56] <arha> mcphail: that's what i used
[06:56] <arha> i dont think you can set the exact horiz/vert sync rates in medium setting, can you?
[06:56] <sobersabre> jrib good.. :)
[06:57] <mcphail> arha: no, just advanced
[06:58] <arha> mcphail: that still didnt help with setting the default resolution, though...
[06:58] <nikin> can someone tell where to set a users defoult chmod atributes on filecreation?
[06:59] <nikin> arha: what do you mean with default res:
[06:59] <nikin> ?
[06:59] <sobersabre> jrib, it is idea, but if same package exist in both sources, and the http one is newer, I want the CDROM version.
[06:59] <sobersabre> your idea doesn't cover this.
[06:59] <dapet_> How do you tjek what interface my USB wireless adapter is usin?
[06:59] <synic> dapet_: iwconfig
[06:59] <dapet_> Thanks :D
[07:00] <arha> nikin: the screen resolution which is set on boot-up, i.e. after starting the computer, without changing it manually
[07:00] <nikin> if you change it once, it will stay... not?
[07:00] <mcphail> arha: the reslution thing on the wiki suggests that GNOME can mess with the resolution settings. Is gdm at the correct resolution?
[07:01] <jrib> sobersabre: you're right, you may be able to do something with "apt_preferences", read 'man apt_preferences'
[07:01] <arha> nikin: if i change it manually, it doesnt stay till next reboot
[07:01] <arha> mcphail: erm, gdm?
[07:01] <dapet_> Can someone explain me what my interface to the wireless usb adapter is? http://pastebin.ca/112033 I cant se it (i am a noob)
[07:01] <Phoul> Hello
[07:01] <nikin> hmm
[07:01] <Phoul> How do i configure cups?
[07:02] <mcphail> arha: the login screen
[07:02] <linuxboy> how does ubuntu know to install i386 packages and not amd64 ?
[07:02] <erUSUL> dapet_: wlan0
[07:02] <dapet_> ohhhh... Thanks :D
[07:02] <arha> mcphail: but in the wiki it only says to edit xorg.conf, and my xorg.conf already has 1280x1024 as first mode for depth 24 (and defaultdepth 24 as well)
[07:02] <TheSheep> linuxboy: ubuntu installs i386 packages by default
[07:03] <erUSUL> dapet_: the others do not have "wireless extensions" ;)
[07:03] <mcphail> arha: yes, but when you login is it at 1280x1024 or lower?
[07:03] <linuxboy> TheSheep: how could I force it to install amd64 ?
[07:03] <brianNB> How do I enable "Shutdown" and "Reboot" from the "Log Out" button? I've just installed XGl and the XGl session doesn't have those 2 enabled, whereas the default Gnome session do.
[07:03] <TheSheep> linuxboy: just install it in synaptic
[07:03] <arha> mcphail: uhh.. i set it to log me in as default..
[07:03] <linuxboy> TheSheep: how?
[07:03] <TheSheep> linuxboy: linux-amd64 ro something like that
[07:04] <dapet_> erUSUL: He he... I see... I thught the interface were wich USB port they were in ;)
[07:04] <mcphail> arha: then try this...
[07:04] <mcphail> arha: (i don't know if this will work as I'm not using GUI at present)
[07:04] <linuxboy> TheSheep: thats the kernel
[07:04] <mcphail> arha: open gconf-editor
[07:04] <arha> oh
[07:04] <arha> i didnt think of that
[07:04] <arha> ok i think i got it ...
[07:05] <arha> oh and i can shut down esd too :D
[07:05] <mcphail> arha: :)
[07:05] <cdubya> any suggestions on fax software? I'm not finding a lot of stuff in searching the apt-cache
[07:05] <arha> still, it's somewhat odd you have to run gconf-editor and look around just to set the default resolution
[07:05] <TheSheep> linuxboy: yes, what did you mean then?
[07:05] <tanlaan> i forgot how to compile a C++ application, there .cc files
[07:06] <arha> there were two "screen" entries: <computername> and "default", and in the first it was the correct resolution, but not in default.. stupid.
[07:06] <mcphail> arha: yup. Worked automagically for me, though
[07:06] <tanlaan> nevermind
[07:06] <linuxboy> TheSheep: how does apt know to get i386 packages and not amd64 packages?
[07:06] <mjr> cdubya, hylafax was popular some years back, dunno if that's still the way to go
[07:06] <tanlaan> just figured out how
[07:06] <TheSheep> linuxboy: but I actually lied -- there is no linux-amd64, so I'm not competent :)
[07:06] <longwave> brianNB: because you are running two X servers (Xorg for the login screen and Xgl for your desktop), you can't put shutdown and reboot into the Xgl logout menu, you have to log out then shut down from the Options menu on the login screen
[07:06] <arha> ok thanks
[07:06] <arha> bye!
[07:06] <cdubya> tanlann, g++ -o executable source_file
[07:06] <mcphail> linuxboy: you can't install amd64 on i386
[07:06] <linuxboy> mcphail: I know
[07:06] <TheSheep> linuxboy: I'd guess they are in a different repository
[07:06] <linuxboy> TheSheep: no, they don't
[07:07] <cdubya> mjr, yeah, I saw that one.....
[07:07] <brianNB> longwave, okay, that's what I've been doing so far. Was hoping it was possible the other way, but oh well. Thanks :)
[07:07] <TheSheep> linuxboy: I can't see them in this repo
[07:07] <linuxboy> TheSheep: I can
[07:07] <cdubya> didn't know much about it.
[07:07] <linuxboy> TheSheep: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/
[07:07] <mcphail> linuxboy: you can download them manually by browsing the repo.
[07:07] <linuxboy> mcphail: I don't want to. I want to know how apt knows
[07:08] <mcphail> linuxboy: each .deb has an architecture attribute
[07:08] <linuxboy> mcphail: how does apt know to fetch i386 packages ?
[07:08] <longwave> linuxboy: apt gets packages for its own platform, if apt is compiled on i386 it will get i386 packages
[07:08] <dapet_> I used this site http://pastebin.ca/112039 to se my wireless WPA network, I followed the instruktions on that page (i have Ubuntu 6.06) and in the end it says that if a comando (it is pretty long so you can se it by uorself) not give a specifik comando i were to ask for help in here, the outcome is here http://pastebin.ca/112039.... help
[07:09] <longwave> at least that's how i think it works
[07:09] <linuxboy> longwave: wrong
[07:09] <dapet_> ups i mean this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[07:09] <linuxboy> longwave: it is set at compile time though
[07:09] <dapet_> My wireless adapter is a netgear WG111v2
[07:10] <longwave> so what's wrong with what i said if it is set at compile time?
[07:10] <longwave> ok i guess you could compile apt for another platform
[07:10] <linuxboy> ja
[07:10] <longwave> but when apt-get with no parameters says i386 in the first line, i figured it must be compile time somehow :)
[07:10] <mcphail> linuxboy: dpkg --print-architecture will tell you what the setting is, but I don't know _where_ it is set
[07:10] <dapet_> he he der er en dansker ;)
[07:10] <linuxboy> mcphail: compile time
[07:10] <mDot> anyon else unable to update this morning? I;m getting a 404 error with libtotem and the like
[07:11] <MaDSeN> crap ubuntu... arghhhhhhhhhh :)
[07:11] <MaDSeN> sorry
[07:11] <alex_dinamo> Hi there again!
[07:12] <alex_dinamo> One question about the distribution media for Ubuntu: what's the deal for the DVDs? Do they just contain more stuff, packages,  or what??
[07:12] <sobersabre> jrib, you don't think I've come here before doing the homework ?
[07:12] <gdb> mDot: libtotem-plparser1, totem-gstreamer, and totem -- from us.archive.ubuntu.com -- I assume the mirror is slow updating.  You might try another in /etc/apt/sources.list if you like.
[07:12] <longwave> alex_dinamo: the dvds just have more packages, saving you having to download as much if you want any extras
[07:13] <jrib> sobersabre: huh?
[07:13] <alex_dinamo> logwave: I see..
[07:13] <mDot> thanks gdb
[07:13] <alex_dinamo> thanks a lot!
[07:13] <mikearthur> I've built my own linux-image, how would I build my own linux-restricted-modules?
[07:13] <gdb> mDot: None of the updates appear partcularly pressing for the time being, so I'm just waiting for the mirror to get the packages myself. :-)
[07:14] <mDot> gdb: ill be doing the same

[07:19] <flodine> ardchoill yes
[07:20] <nikin> whats the problem with the kernel?
[07:20] <Ademan> canonical isn't publicly traded is it?
[07:21] <ardchoille> flodine: What's the output of  uname -r
[07:21] <mohkohn> hello
[07:21] <longwave> Ademan: no, the "ltd" in "canonical ltd" means it is a private company, it would be "plc" if it were public
[07:22] <dapet_> flodline: Help with what?
[07:22] <mohkohn> I managed to get a working xen kernel going but I can't get it to connect to the network
[07:22] <flodine> ardchoill 2.6.15-26-686
[07:22] <Ademan> ah, thanks, i'm... uh... new lol
[07:22] <dapet_> Is it always this quite? or am i logged of?
[07:22] <svartrev> greetz ?
[07:22] <ardchoille> flodine: I believe that's the most current kernel Ubuntu distributes
[07:22] <flodine> ardchoill i want 686-smp kernel
[07:22] <Zambezi> I tried to connect with lftp to a FTP with Implicit SSL, but I get this errormesages: Unable to establish SSL connection (). What can be wrong?
[07:22] <mohkohn> I am back in my normal ubuntu. This network uses a static ip
[07:23] <mohkohn> I put all the same settings in the xen kernel as the ubuntu kernel...but no net.
[07:23] <svartrev> uh, anybody know offhand how to install uucp on dapper ?
[07:23] <longwave> Zambezi: try using the lftp debug command to get more error messages about why it could not connect
[07:23] <flodine> what do i typ to get kernel 686-smp
[07:23] <longwave> !info uucp
[07:23] <ubotu> uucp: Unix to Unix Copy Program. In repository universe, is extra. Version 1.07-17 (dapper), package size 759 kB, installed size 1808 kB
[07:23] <roe> why would the ubuntu server distro not come with sshd?
[07:24] <Zambezi> longwave, lftp -d ?
[07:24] <sysrpl> hello
[07:24] <Splix> Hi Guys..! Anyone know why my "suspend"/ "sleep" does'nt work on the newest kernel? It worked perfect on k25 :)
[07:24] <jnguy> Hello.
[07:24] <flodine> anyone
[07:24] <XiXaQ> is the files "test" and ".test" considered to be equal?
[07:24] <TheSheep> roe: beacause it's not necessarily needed on every server
[07:24] <longwave> Zambezi: yes i think that's it
[07:24] <jnguy> Anyone know how to get dpkg -l to list dates, or find out most recently installed packages?
[07:24] <dapet_> WOW my net are unstable... From my last messege nothing happend in one minut or so, then BANG there a lot.... 2 sec I do the command
[07:25] <sysrpl> can anyone point me to a working dowload of an ubuntu appliance image? all the torrents/downloads i have found are down (mysql torrent server error) or slow as hell
[07:25] <nikin> suspend does not work be me to :D i just realize it
[07:25] <Luc1> I would like install realplayer. When I use command apt-get install reaplayer.  error: depends on:xlibs but it is not installable. Where do I get xlibs?
[07:25] <svartrev> ? !info uucp ? what that mean ?
[07:25] <longwave> jnguy: /var/log/dpkg.log records what was installed and uninstalled and when
[07:25] <mohkohn> in the xen kernel when I run mii-tool it tells me I have no interface
[07:25] <mcphail> flodine: i'm not sure that they have a separate SMP kernel anymore. I think the default one "works"
[07:25] <roe> TheSheep: it's odd, that it assumes I will be using apache but not ssh
[07:25] <Splix> welcome nikin :)
[07:25] <sysrpl> ubuntu vmware apliance image that is
[07:25] <jnguy> longwave: Thanks!
[07:25] <svartrev> ta ubotu
[07:26] <svartrev> appreciations
[07:26] <mcphail> roe: an unconfigured sshd is more of a security risk than an unconfigured apache2
[07:26] <longwave> svartrev: the !info command tells ubotu to tell you about that package
[07:26] <mohkohn> But I can see it in the gnome network and ifconfig shows it also.
[07:26] <Kynetix> ehyl
[07:26] <TheSheep> roe: the point is it doesn't assume anything, 'server' is just the minimal working base, to which you add whatever you need
[07:26] <sysrpl> this torrent isn't working -> http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/484

[07:27] <dapet_> I used this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo to se my wireless WPA network, I followed the instruktions on that page (i have Ubuntu 6.06) and in the end it says that if a comando (it is pretty long so you can se it by uorself) not give a specifik comando i were to ask for help in here, the outcome is here http://pastebin.ca/112063.... help i am using a Netgear WG111vw wireless USB adapter.

[07:28] <nikin> i have looked for my settigs, somhow after update the action fo my notebboks suspend button was set to DO NOTHING.
[07:28] <dapet_> It is a new problem
[07:28] <Kynetix> and all is ok i see my server but...
[07:28] <erUSUL> dapet_: i told you before you misstyped the command is -iwlan0 and no -wlan0
[07:28] <TheSheep> longwave: but then the asker won't see the response
[07:28] <mohkohn> What do I need to do to get networking going on a domU kernel in xen?
[07:28] <Kynetix> ubuntu don't want copy the file from a pc to another with a smb partition
[07:28] <Luc1> I would like install realplayer. When I use command apt-get install reaplayer.  error: depends on:xlibs but it is not installable. Where will I get xlibs?
[07:28] <dapet_> Yes yes... But it is a new problem
[07:28] <dapet_> tjek the pasta thing again

[07:29] <polpak> hrm. that's odd
[07:30] <move> hello. when I boot grub it tells me no OS found on my windows partition. I'm going to fix this but it's going to remove grub from being the boot loader, how do I fix this so grub boots and actually brings me to XP?
[07:30] <nikin> Splix: i dont know, works by me fine... what kernel are you using
[07:30] <nikin> !grub
[07:30] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:30] <Luc1> Do you have anybody packtage xlibs?
[07:30] <move> thanks nikin
[07:31] <uk_tk> I'm using a conexant 4 port + USB ADSL modem/router and connect this laptop to the router via the USB under windows as there is no LAN port available. Under windows it works ok but under ubuntu live eval cd it mis-identifies the USB router as a conexant ADSL modem... which cannot even hope to work, any solutions anyone?

[07:31] <erUSUL> dapet_: are you sure that the driver is suported for your card ( i mean madwifi)
[07:31] <dapet_> NO
[07:32] <dapet_> How do i tjek
[07:32] <dapet_> ?
[07:32] <Splix> 2.6.15-26-386
[07:32] <nikin> i have the same
[07:32] <rubikcube> hello everyone!
[07:32] <Splix> hi
[07:33] <dv_> hi
[07:33] <rubikcube> anyone knows what I have to do to get LaTeX files like lshort.dvi to render?
[07:33] <Splix> hm.. know where i can find the config.file?
[07:33] <erUSUL> dapet_: use '-Dwext' it is generic
[07:33] <erUSUL> rubikcube: install xdvi
[07:34] <erUSUL> rubikcube: or run dvips to obtain a ps file
[07:34] <nikin> Kynetix: nope it worked by me
[07:34] <dapet_> Unsupported driver 'west'.
[07:34] <rubikcube> erUSUL: yes I know, I have that already, but xdvi complains about not being able to create bitmap fonts out of the font files
[07:34] <dv_> ubuntu uses utf-8 as default, right?
[07:35] <dapet_> erUSUL: There were a test on the how to, so I were able to tjek... And the outcome is in the pastabin
[07:35] <dapet_> http://pastebin.ca/112063
[07:35] <ttyfscker> why are half of the screensavers in 6.06 unlocateable ?
[07:36] <ttyfscker> half of them work fine.. the other half give me an output saying it cant be found in path
[07:36] <erUSUL> dapet_: use '-Dwext' it is generic (second time)
[07:37] <dapet_> wext... he he i wrote west sorry
[07:37] <longwave> ttyfscker: are they the GL screensavers? do you have xscreensaver-gl installed?
[07:38] <dapet_> erUSUL: There comes a bunch of "opperation not supported" but in this second it is still working on the comand
[07:38] <svartrev> cool, thanx all
[07:38] <svartrev> so long, everybody, and thanx for all the fish
[07:39] <mdirc> I have port forwarding working, and vncviewer on my xp is able to connect to ubuntu server when I am on the same lan. I think either gnome vino-vncserver or the iptables is blocking connections to WAN from X11. Am I thinking along the right lines, if so how do I fix the situation.
[07:39] <nekostar> ~_~
[07:39] <nekostar> wtf wtf wtf wtf
[07:39] <nekostar> i HATE the repositories today
[07:39] <nekostar> its like anything to do with totem is BORKED
[07:39] <nekostar> ~_~
[07:40] <mDot> nekostar: yup, just a little slow to update
[07:41] <Luc1> longwave: Thank you very much. I have realplayer.
[07:41] <nekostar> totem // totem-gstreamer // libtotem-plparser1 //
[07:41] <nekostar> they are all broken
[07:41] <ttyfscker> longwave:: some are gl, some others arent.
[07:41] <michaeljb2005> why is it, for example, amarok and ut2004 cannot play sounds at the same time?  I was told to disable esd because the kernel has alsa support installed by default, but yet they still cannot play sounds at the same time
[07:41] <nekostar> as in cant download from teh repositories mDot
[07:41] <nekostar> ~_~
[07:41] <Luc1> Is possible play files *.rm at other players without realplyer?
[07:41] <michaeljb2005> plus, because I disabled esd I no longer get system sounds
[07:41] <mDot> nekostar yup
[07:41] <nekostar> AND the repositories are slower than snails ~_~
[07:42] <nekostar> Luc1: yes
[07:42] <ttyfscker> longwave:: yes i do have xscreensaver-gl  installed btw
[07:42] <nekostar> mplayer is capable with the right codec set
[07:42] <nekostar> pain in the arse though
[07:42] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: i doubt that UT can use alsa
[07:42] <michaeljb2005> totem, once all codecs are installed, is a much better player than mplayer
[07:42] <Luc1> nekostar. What players can play .rm?
[07:42] <Luc1> *.rm?
[07:42] <michaeljb2005> then how can I get them both playing at the same time?
[07:42] <XVampireX> michaeljb2005, stop kidding me
[07:42] <nekostar> ..............................................
[07:43] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: if UT uses OSS, you could try using aoss
[07:43] <michaeljb2005> totem gets the ratio, by default on movies, correct much more often than mplayer
[07:43] <nekostar> omfg 13k from repository
[07:43] <nikin> lucl do you stil need the xlibs?
[07:43] <michaeljb2005> I don't know if it does, and if it does, how do I do that?
[07:43] <Splix> Can anyone give mi a good list of repositories? Mine keep on getting errors...  Then use "aoss /path/to/UT"
[07:44] <nekostar> !penis
[07:44] <ubotu> I know nothing about penis - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:44] <nikin> Lucl: ok
[07:44] <mDot> nekostar kill yourself over a repo problem? really now...
[07:45] <dapet_> erUSUL: The command output frezed?!
[07:45] <nub_> i have a question about gnome panels. with the window list, i want to make 2 rows of buttons, kind of like you would get in kde, but i have no idea how to do it. does anybody know?
[07:46] <maarvins1> hello everyone!
[07:46] <ProN00b> does that mean its using usb2 ? "usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3"
[07:46] <maarvins1> how to do clean samba install so ubuntu woudnt say selecting previously deselected package
[07:46] <espenleka> nobody knows?
[07:46] <cavediver> Hi. My gnome-cups-add is locking when adding printer...
[07:46] <maarvins1> :(
[07:46] <ardchoille> nub_: It's not possible with the current window list
[07:46] <michaeljb2005> will aoss help with sound problems in ut2004 as well?
[07:46] <nub_> ack, that sucks. is there some kind of update or mod that would allow me to do that?
[07:46] <Jared> what is the command to restart gnome?
[07:47] <nub_> jared: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:47] <Jared> thankyou :)
[07:47] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: maybe. Try it and see
[07:47] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: i find sound issues the worst thing in linux
[07:48] <michaeljb2005> I'm already using the nonXgl hack, in order to use both commands do I have to do nonXgl|aoss ut2004
[07:49] <Phlexonance> what codec do I need to play .wmv?
[07:49] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: i know nothing about this. You're running xgl/compiz?
[07:49] <michaeljb2005> Phlexonance why not just use automatix and get them all?
[07:49] <michaeljb2005> yes, I'm running xgl/compiz
[07:49] <flodine> how can i see my bootup log info?
[07:49] <Phlexonance> michaeljb2005: what?
[07:49] <ardchoille> michaeljb2005: Please do not recommend automatix.
[07:50] <michaeljb2005> ardchoille: why not?
[07:50] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: i'd run UT2004 under standard x/metacity. if not, i suppose the command might be "aoss noxgl UT2004" or whatever
[07:50] <ardchoille> michaeljb2005: Because it has broken boxes and continues to do so.
[07:50] <michaeljb2005> what do you mean "broken boxes"?
[07:50] <nikin> anyone experience with CANON CCPD drivers for the LBP XXXX series?
[07:51] <Phlexonance> what codec do I need to play .wmv?
[07:51] <budluva> w32codecs i do believe
[07:51] <budluva> check wiki for RestrictedFormats
[07:51] <michaeljb2005> mcphail: I agree with you about metacity, however, the nonXgl hack works pretty well

[07:51] <david__> Go to easy ubuntu.com tyype the command into the terminal
[07:51] <michaeljb2005> ardchoille: what do you mean broken boxes
[07:52] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: problem is, using aoss on top of this is a hack on a hack!
[07:52] <ardchoille> michaeljb2005: Please drop the automatix talk, it's not recommended.
[07:52] <nikin> any hacking for Enemy Territory?
[07:53] <budluva> anyone here use conky? i'm trying to figure out how to get it to show on all my desktops, not just desk1, any clue?
[07:53] <michaeljb2005> ardchoille: ok just trying to help
[07:53] <cavediver> In the forums they say it's a bug with uim but I don't have that installed
[07:53] <brianNB> Where do I set the timeout for the Screensaver?
[07:53] <cavediver> gnome-cups-add hang anyway
[07:53] <Phlexonance> I already have the w43codecs installed
[07:53] <mcphail> wow - win43!
[07:54] <Phlexonance> mcphail: omg I made a typo O_O
[07:54] <nikin> Brian: System>Preferencies>Screensaver
[07:54] <mcphail> Phlexonance: ;)
[07:55] <michaeljb2005> is this the wrong chat room for non-standard hacks like automatix, xgl/compiz and all that?
[07:55] <brianNB> nikin, thanks. I'm blind been staring there several times and apparently kept overseeing that it was a slider :p I was looking for an input field:)
[07:55] <mcphail> michaeljb2005: the regulars in here aren't keen on automatix. Xgl has its own ubuntu channel
[07:56] <Tommy2k4> just fyi opera 9.01 is out, when will this be in commercial repo?

[08:03] <NeoMatrixJR1> HELP! I can see a package I want on the packages.ubuntulinux.org site, but can't find it in the synaptic manager!  I *THINK* I added the appropriate repository, but still can't find it.
[08:03] <ardchoille> NeoMatrixJR1: Which package?
[08:03] <mDot> scrilla- http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde.php
[08:04] <longwave> r000t: can you just add them as extra interfaces to /etc/network/interfaces?
[08:04] <mDot> scrill- but be careful, you may have gnome libs istalled that you're relying on
[08:04] <Skorgu|Work> I had to reboot because vmware locked my system and now a USB harddrive isn't showing up in /dev. dmesg reports it and it finds the partitions but /dev/sdbX don't exist
[08:05] <r000t> longwave: what is the initscript to reread the interfaces
[08:05] <ardchoille> !info NeoMatrixJR1 You can do: /query ubotu   and then go to that window and type:  !info packagename  and it'll give you some info about the package and which repo it's in
[08:05] <ubotu> Package NeoMatrixJR1 does not exist in dapper
[08:05] <NeoMatrixJR1> upslug2
[08:06] <longwave> r000t: after adding them you can just use ifup and ifdown to activate/deactivate them
[08:06] <r000t> longwave: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
[08:07] <NeoMatrixJR1> says it doesn't exist, yet I can find it at: http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/otherosfs/upslug2
[08:07] <longwave> hrmm i don't know much about virtual interfaces, maybe you need a kernel module or something for them?
[08:08] <ardchoille> NeoMatrixJR1: That is a page for Edgy, that package doesn't exist in Dapper
[08:08] <acojlo> hi, i've switched to gnome. It's feel little slower than kde. Maybe I'm missing some libaries or xorg.conf needs tweakings?
[08:08] <davey_> Blender doesn't have readable text when I open it, I'm on amd64
[08:08] <NeoMatrixJR1> I'm using 6.06 which I believe is edgy is it not?
[08:09] <davey_> acojlo, thats strange because gnome is usualy faster
[08:09] <longwave> NeoMatrixJR1: 6.06 is dapper, edgy is not out yet
[08:09] <ardchoille> NeoMatrixJR1: no
[08:09] <ardchoille> 6.06 is Dapper
[08:09] <maarvins1> could someone check my security from outside please
[08:09] <maarvins1> ?
[08:09] <maarvins1> some portscan or something
[08:09] <maarvins1> ?
[08:09] <maarvins1> please?
[08:09] <davey_> maarvinsl, they have sites that do that if you want a thuro search
[08:09] <Skorgu|Work> nobody knows about dmesg reporting a USB drive but not creating the /dev nodes?
[08:09] <NeoMatrixJR1> oh, alright, well that helps, I'll have to get and compile the source then I'd imagine
[08:09] <r000t> longwave: i did and it gave me "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address  Bind socket to interface: No such device"

[08:18] <maarvins1> yup
[08:18] <davey_> maarvinsl, I don't mean to be mean, but can you ask that in a security channel?
[08:18] <mDot> or in a google search box...
[08:18] <eitch0000> in which repository is libdvdcss2?
[08:19] <Skorgu|Work> danga: pm theoretically sent, blame gaim if it fails
[08:19] <gnomefreak> eitch0000: its not in any you have to get it from an outside repo please read the pm you are going to recieve
[08:19] <danga> ok

[08:19] <danga> hmm
[08:19] <eitch0000> thx
[08:19] <danga> you got aim Skorgu
[08:19] <danga> ?
[08:19] <davey_> blender 3d doesn't work is their anyone who can guess why
[08:19] <gnomefreak> danga: stop with the enter key
[08:19] <ardchoille> Skorgu|Work: danga isn't identified to nickserv so danga may not be able to reply via pm
[08:19] <Skorgu|Work> danga yeah skorgu
[08:20] <Skorgu|Work> err 'skorgu'
[08:20] <davey_> danga, people seem to not like the repeating if you are on a channel with a lot of people
[08:20] <danga> k ill im you
[08:20] <Skorgu|Work> ardchoille: thanks, I still blame gaim :)
[08:20] <acojlo> I see that gnome is slower than kde - especially with "redrawing windows" when I switch through them. Am I missing some lib or other, because I switched to gnome on kubuntu installation. Also, it's slow when I switch through tabs - I have 756mb of ram with 64mb of video ram
[08:20] <ardchoille> Skorgu|Work: ok :)
[08:20] <davey_> acojlo, how did you switch? what did you do to get gnome desktop
[08:21] <acojlo> I got ubuntu-desktop, then gdm, then gnome-desktop
[08:21] <danga> aim
[08:21] <acojlo> but I've removed kubuntu-desktop (it's ok this way is better) and many kde specific packages
[08:21] <acojlo> davey_
[08:21] <davey_> acojlo, you should try apt-get install gnome and then gnome-desktop, I think....
[08:22] <frying_fish> ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that should handle it all anyway
[08:22] <acojlo> davey_ : everything looks ok - aptitude say's nothing new
[08:22] <davey_> frying_fish, oh cool. sorry
[08:22] <frying_fish> or at least, it is from what I rememeber
[08:23] <davey_> acojlo, can I ask you something? off toppic, how come you don't use snyaptic? everyone seems to be using that other one
[08:23] <davey_> acojlo, I feel like I'm out of the loop
[08:23] <acojlo> I davey_ I use it, but I use this additionaly
[08:23] <davey_> ic
[08:23] <acojlo> anyway, ok
[08:24] <davey_> hey people I'm going to ask again, so anyone know how to make blender 3d display correctly and does anyone have and cool gdesklets because all of them are gone off of the website and i cant find them
[08:25] <numist> davey_: #blender is probably a better place to ask, they do crazy things
[08:25] <Ice-9> sorry, i'm a noob
[08:25] <davey_> numist, thanks I wasn't sure because i figured it was a distro problem i'll check it out
[08:25] <jokersmild> Is anybody here good at making bootable usb drives?
[08:25] <numist> davey_: it might be a distro problem, but they have their own built in WM..  blender is a crazy piece of code
[08:25] <dapet_> I used this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo to se my wireless WPA network, I followed the instruktions on that page (i have Ubuntu 6.06) and in the end it says that if a comando (it is pretty long so you can se it by uorself) not give a specifik outcome i were to ask for help in here, the outcome is here http://pastebin.ca/112094 (on the buttom) in top is the wpa_supplicant.conf (is that right?).... help
[08:25] <dapet_>  i am using a Netgear WG111v2 wireless USB adapter.
[08:25] <numist> davey_: it might at least help you track through the error
[08:27] <damotor> Hello
[08:27] <damotor> how can I adquire video from a minidv camera and send it to a v4l pipe?
[08:28] <HellDragon> brb reboot
[08:28] <jokersmild> Has anybody ever made a bootable usb drive with ubuntu?
[08:30] <LoLlO_cAlL> Hiiiii people!!
[08:30] <Skorgu|Work> OK, init.d/udev restart fails, any way I can get more info on why exactly its failing?
[08:32] <dapet_> Does noone knows anyting about my question?! :(
[08:33] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[08:33] <davey_> numist, ya I checked with thouse guys they were like "let me guys you use ati right"
[08:33] <budluva> does anyone know how to configure acpi to correctly give temperature? acpi -V gives me 40.0 C all the time
[08:37] <numist> davey_: it was an ATI problem?  yeah..  sorry man
[08:37] <Skorgu|Work> anyone know anything about udev failing silently after sitting for a while and doing nothing?
[08:37] <davey_> numist, I guess. the binary ati drivers if you don't use the installer work great, the installer trashes your system but the how to works great
[08:38] <dapet_> I used this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo to se my wireless WPA network, I followed the instruktions on that page (i have Ubuntu 6.06) and in the end it says that if a comando (it is pretty long so you can se it by uorself) not give a specifik outcome i were to ask for help in here, the outcome is here http://pastebin.ca/112094 (on the buttom) in top is the wpa_supplicant.conf (is that right?).... help
[08:38] <dapet_>  i am using a Netgear WG111v2 wireless USB adapter.
[08:38] <numist> davey_: nod.  my buddy is the linux build manager for blender, so I'm aware of the different hardware inconsistencies...  he complains to me about them every release cycle :P
[08:38] <[Wiebel] > hmz
[08:38] <davey_> numist, tell him amd64 needs a build!
[08:38] <i_is_two> wooo
[08:38] <i_is_two> yeah
[08:39] <whadar> what application can be a substitute for visio? i need to draw diagrams...
[08:39] <davey_> numist, to be honest, the amd64 version of linux runs stuff faster then my 32 bit windows instalation!
[08:39] <numist> davey_: give him an amd64 machine and he'll do it
[08:39] <LeaChim> whadar, dia is good
[08:39] <clast> does webdav access with nautilus usually work?
[08:39] <davey_> numist, tell him I'll vnc him myne if thats what holdin him up
[08:39] <i_is_two> man i threw teh live cd on an original celeron and it recognized teh usb wireless card and gave me teh net
[08:39] <i_is_two> woo yeah
[08:39] <ucordes> davey: you really think it is so much fster than 32?
[08:39] <numist> davey_: send a privmsg to SIGFPE if you're serious
[08:40] <davey_> ucordes, I can show it is
[08:40] <davey_> numist, alright
[08:40] <jahshua> ok peeps, i need help big time. i am trying to get Flash working on Firefox or Opera but i think i may have messed it somehow. i followed the instructions on the wiki for restricted formats and it didnt work so then i ran Easyubuntu and it still wont work. Firefox tells me the Flash i have is out of date and Opera brings up a player but not video or sound at all.. can anyone please help me?   :/
[08:40] <ucordes> davey: when i switched tu ubuntu i first tried amd64 on my turion. but due to compatibility issues i'm using 32 bit now
[08:40] <LeaChim> dapet_, you need to remove that first network block i think
[08:40] <dapet_> i_is_two: were you talking to me?
[08:41] <Skorgu|Work> ok, how can I remove udev entirely and reinstall it, including the configs?
[08:41] <davey_> numist, is he on this channel? I can't find it
[08:41] <scrilla-> whats a better package manager than aptitude
[08:41] <Andre4s> hi! I have a rpm package of a canon driver that I want to install. Is that possible?
[08:41] <scrilla-> command line based
[08:41] <i_is_two> no i was just making a comment on how slick ubuntu is
[08:41] <numist> davey_: he's in #blender
[08:41] <scrilla-> console based i mean
[08:41] <davey_> ucordes, I'm on amdtorron also
[08:41] <MaDSeN> anyone know how to ignore JOINS / QUITS in LostIRC?
[08:41] <numist> davey_: probably best to send him a private message though
[08:41] <i_is_two> havent installed it yet but when i get my box up here thats what i think i'm gonna do
[08:41] <ucordes> davey: you think it's ways faster than 32? :-(
[08:41] <dapet_> LeaChim: tried that, not working... But maybe a mixture of the 2 blacoks will help... But I dont know :(
[08:41] <scrilla-> whats a good console based package manager for UBUNTU than aptitude
[08:41] <LeaChim> dapet_, you definitely only need one network block
[08:42] <davey_> ucordes, I can show you the cpu scailing it can run at 50 percent and be as fast as a 1.6g at 32
[08:42] <ucordes> but there are so many apps that i couldn't find for 64
[08:42] <i_is_cat> :/
[08:43] <davey_> numist, he's not on right now, if you see him tell him my email adress it's<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:43] <timas> Howdy peoples.. question about Xine having issues initializing my audio drivers, anyone here that can help me with that?
[08:44] <ucordes> anybody else here who thinks there are big advantages in 64 distributions?
[08:44] <davey_> ucordes, I know, but most times you can work around, like what did you need?
[08:44] <numist> davey_: k
[08:44] <ucordes> i knew you would ask but i can't tell you exact. i had probs with fglrx and stuff
[08:44] <bobbyd_> ucordes, I don't know of 64 distributions, so I couldn't tell you :)
[08:44] <Ice-9> i don't think that there will be any big advantages in 64 distributions until the hardware is there that can really run it
[08:44] <ucordes> acpi tools for my acer
[08:45] <dapet_> I changed the network block to this http://pastebin.ca/112133 and it did not work (same frezing)
[08:45] <Skorgu|Work> ucordes: 2038 :-D
[08:45] <davey_> ucordes, me 2 it's harder to find that kind of stuff, for example some hardware just doesn't work, even if they have opensoure drives it's rediculose and ubuntu... don't tell them I said this.. but they don't maintain the repos as much as i386
[08:46] <timas> Amarok tells me "Xine was unable to initialize any audio-drivers.", I can't find anything that helps me further with this.. anyone have any idea, at all?
[08:46] <davey_> oh people I need to learn how to hide linux because I have a hardware problem that I need fixed undr my warenty and they won't understand linux
[08:46] <dapet_> LeaChim: I changed the network block to this http://pastebin.ca/112133 and it did not work (same frezing)
[08:46] <davey_> they will get scared and not fix my comp
[08:46] <timas> dapet_: did you install it dual boot?
[08:47] <davey_> I bought a flore moddle that was kind of broke, but thats ok because I got it for cheep and they said they would fix it
[08:47] <blinker> davey_: who manufactured it?
[08:47] <frying_fish> Anyone know why X would fail to load an xmodmap.conf after loading it many many many times previously?
[08:47] <timas> er.. sorry! davey_ that is
[08:47] <davey_> blinker, averatech
[08:47] <dapet_> timas: I don't think so?
[08:47] <blinker> never heard
[08:47] <LeaChim> dapet_, what driver are you using for wlan0? madwifi?
[08:47] <ucordes> lol i will remove my hdd if i will ever have to let them fix something
[08:47] <dapet_> Dwext?
[08:48] <LeaChim> ah
[08:48] <LeaChim> what's wext then?
[08:48] <mikearthur> I've built my own linux-image, how would I build my own linux-restricted-modules?
[08:48] <davey_> ucordes, i'm scared, they will totaly mess it up.. I have all my work on linux, last time they "fixed" a problem i had they wiped the harddrive
[08:48] <timas> davey_ I'd just remove it
[08:48] <LeaChim> davey_, got a spare 10gig lying around? stick that in :P
[08:49] <davey_> timas, they have stickers over my comp, if I open it it voids the wanty
[08:49] <dapet_> somthing I were ask to set in instead he he... He said it were somthing "generated"?!
[08:49] <Ice-9> davey-if it's a hardware issue, they shouldn't need to touch the HDD
[08:49] <Amaranth> davey_: They'll probably wipe your HD.
[08:49] <linux_manju> davey_: Learn how to fix up a Pc.. You will stand just a step behind a genius ;)
[08:49] <Amaranth> davey_: That seems to be SOP.
[08:49] <frying_fish> mikearthur: you don't
[08:49] <ucordes> leachim lol i think he needs one of the  small drives
[08:49] <mikearthur> frying_fish: but if I wanted to, how would I
[08:49] <davey_> they will I know it, they don't think anything is a hardware issure, I know the sodering for my touchpad is bad.. but i can't just tell them that bcause they think it's software
[08:49] <frying_fish> if you built your own image, you built in all the things it was using, except maybe for your graphics drivers that you would have to compile manually
[08:49] <regeya> davey_: external drives are your friend
[08:49] <timas> davey_: burn DVDs and CD's.. or ext. drives
[08:49] <Amaranth> davey_: So make backups of everything you need to keep and hope for the best.
[08:50] <frying_fish> the point is, the whole idea of building your own kernel is to build in things instead of having them as modules
[08:50] <davey_> is their good backup software for ubuntu?
[08:50] <Amaranth> davey_: Yeah, they'll probably wipe the drive and reinstall Windows to see if it's a driver problem.
[08:50] <timas> if there isn't.. there's always the posibility of making a 'ghost' image of your whole drive
[08:50] <mikearthur> frying_fish: thats not the case, also, how do you suggest I build in the NVIDIA drivers?
[08:50] <Amaranth> davey_: I just drop all my important stuff onto DVD/CD Creator (it's in places) and burn a DVD
[08:50] <ucordes> besides i would never send all my personal stuff to (in my case) acer
[08:50] <frying_fish> They will have a binary installer
[08:51] <dapet_> timas: How do I tjek it?
[08:51] <frying_fish> that needs to go against the kernel you just built.
[08:51] <dapet_> LeaChim: somthing I were ask to set in instead he he... He said it were somthing "generated"?!
[08:51] <timas> dapet_ there's paid solutions for that, but I'm practically 100% certain there are very nice OSS solutions as well
[08:51] <frying_fish> and ok, maybe you leave things as modules, but you cut the kernel down and optimise it, and wouldn't need restricted modules.
[08:51] <Skorgu|Work> I need to reinstall udev from scratch, ignoring/deleting the current configuration
[08:51] <jahshua> ok peeps, i need help big time. i am trying to get Flash working on Firefox or Opera but i think i may have messed it somehow. i followed the instructions on the wiki for restricted formats and it didnt work so then i ran Easyubuntu and it still wont work. Firefox tells me the Flash i have is out of date and Opera brings up a player but not video or sound at all.. can anyone please help me?   :/
[08:52] <dapet_> timas: You don't know? ;)
[08:52] <ucordes> oh oh oh.... i can tell you a story about easy ubuntu... i tried this once on amd64 dapper and it messed up the whole system
[08:53] <dapet_> jahshua: Can't you just install it as a pacage+
[08:53] <davey_> Amaranth, i have windows on dule boot, I think i could just temorarly make grub just default to that real quick and then chang it back after they fix it
[08:53] <davey_> I don't know how to do that though
[08:53] <davey_> it's alright I'll be hanging around here, i'm going in on aug16 to get a real mouse and a batery for this bad boy. and my dad scrached the screen I might want to change that later on
[08:53] <davey_> I was showing him stocks and he got really exited and hit it
[08:53] <timas> I'ma try it again, anyone here an idea towards fixing my sound issues?
[08:53] <Amaranth> davey_: They're going to reinstall Windows. They'll delete your Ubuntu partition.
[08:53] <_X_> howdy folks
[08:54] <_X_> I have a fairly old laptop that I want to update, but I cant connect it to the internet
[08:54] <_X_> can I download all of the latest deb's in a package somewhere or something so that I can easily move it over with a usb stick or something similar?
[08:55] <tgelter> I was directed here from a forum discussing the possibility to configure 5.1 surround sound with the nforce4 chipset and dapper, anyone had experience with this?
[08:55] <ucordes> i read a nice thread about linux and pc shops in the forums... very interesting how some think about it
[08:55] <Ice-9> ucordes_care to give us a link?
[08:55] <Ice-9> or perhaps a URL?
[08:55] <dapet_> timas: Se in that nother "page" (don't know what it is)
[08:56] <Nuked> is there a way I can make swap overwritten with zeros on halting ?
[08:56] <dr_willis> why bother Nuked
[08:56] <stefg> tgelter: although not personally having it i know that some people here had success with amaroK or vlc
[08:56] <ic56> _X_: try apt-get -d update  # to download all the packages
[08:56] <ic56> _X_: then copy them to the usb stick
[08:56] <ucordes> ice-9: i'll take a look if i find it again
[08:57] <ic56> _X_: finally, on the laptop, dpkg -i <pathanes to packages>
[08:57] <_X_> right, thanks
