[03:38] <graft> SeeDe: .bashrc gets called every time you open a new shell... .bash_profile does not
[03:38] <synic> mike-e: dunno, it's been quite some time since I cared about an isa card :)
[03:38] <greenpete> But I don't get that far! It wont run from the CD :-(
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: Are you using the 6.06 std or the alt cd?
[03:39] <greenpete> I have it running on this machine no problem...I have installed a few times
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: HOw many drives in the system
[03:39] <greenpete> std
[03:39] <greenpete> Just one
[03:39] <greenpete> I can dsl to run on that machine
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> so why is it trying to go to hdc?
[03:39] <greenpete> with or without a drive in!
[03:39] <greenpete> Good question!
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: USB drive?
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> sata or eide?
[03:40] <greenpete> Sorry?
[03:40] <SeeDe> graft: so when does bash_profile get called then? haha i added a call to bash_profile to bashrc w/o removing reverse call. a new bash shell i just called is not responding
[03:40] <ignacio> sup
[03:40] <graft> SeeDe: no, you don't want to do that... it's probably looping
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: do you get an error or where does it hang?
[03:41] <graft> SeeDe: .bash_profile gets called on login shells; .bashrc gets called on everything else (and gets called by .bash_profile for login shells)
[03:41] <greenpete> The error code in full is BufferI/O error on device hdc, logical block 1 through 15
[03:41] <TOOSHORTLOL> DCC SEND<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000000
[03:41] <SeeDe> graft: (looping) yeah i know, it amuses me.
[03:41] <HellDragon> wtf
[03:41] <HellDragon> netsplit ?
[03:41] <nalioth> no, attack
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> no router firmware
[03:41] <bimberi> no, DCC exploit
[03:41] <HellDragon> ah
[03:41] <help-the-n00b> What's the rename? Is it mv?
[03:42] <SeeDe> graft: sorry so what is a login shell? is that like ssh as opposed to me just opening terminal?
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete:  COuld you try something for me... go into cmos and turn of usb or set it to 1.1 for the moment
[03:42] <greenpete> Jack_Sparrow... Mounting root file system is where it hangs
[03:42] <greenpete> Ok I will try that
[03:42] <help-the-n00b> ??
[03:43] <help-the-n00b> No help?
[03:43] <ignacio> mv
[03:43] <ignacio> yes
[03:44] <help-the-n00b> Ok. thnks
[03:44] <ignacio> yw
[03:44] <graft> SeeDe: yeah
[03:44] <help-the-n00b> does: mv file rename amek file rename?
[03:45] <ignacio> mv originalname newname
[03:45] <ignacio> or mv file newpath
[03:45] <SeeDe> graft: thanks a lot for your help
[03:46] <HellDragon> :(
[03:46] <greenpete> Jack_Sparrow, strangely I can't find it in the only two pages of the BIOS I get! But it will be v1.1 as it is an old unit if that helps?
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: k
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: what grub options have you tried?
[03:47] <greenpete> I haven't, I don't get far enough to to have an option
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: and the cd is ok..?
[03:48] <greenpete> I have downloaded a second just to make sure!
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: did yo do the self test on the machines that it worked on.?
[03:48] <greenpete> No]
[03:48] <Oi_PollOi> uhm
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> I would do that..
[03:48] <greenpete> What do you mean by self test?
[03:49] <FusionXN1> Hi everyone I'm back :)
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: boot the live on a system that works and do the self test for errors
[03:49] <greenpete> Ah you mean to test the CD?
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[03:49] <FusionXN1> I'm on Ubuntu ONLY Now, I got a problem. My secondary drives wont open. How can I make them work?
[03:49] <FusionXN1> !nvidia
[03:49] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:50] <greenpete> Ok  that means shutting this machine down, will you be around for long?
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: It is possible to have a bad cd that installs on one system and not another due to differnet hardware
[03:50] <help-the-n00b> Do I need to do cd ~ to get home?
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> I'll wait
[03:51] <FusionXN1> Any ideas anyone?
[03:51] <greenpete> Ok thanks so much for your time!
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:51] <help-the-n00b> Help?
[03:51] <tokenbad> is there a way to use msi files in ubuntu?
[03:51] <FlitoRay> i followed the instructions on the site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but when i try to boot the screen fills with lines and what likes like an omega symbol. then at the end it says copyright phoenix systems and then copyright dell.. i chose (hd0) to write it to because it said that was the MBR.
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> FlitoRay: fdisk /mbr and start over or use the Super Grub Repair CD
[03:52] <FlitoRay> Jack_Sparrow, thank you. i will try that now
[03:53] <kdean06> I have gtk2-qt-engine installed, but it didn't put the configuration panel inside KControl, how do I get it there, and configure it?
[03:53] <FusionXN1>  I'm on Ubuntu ONLY Now, I got a problem. My secondary drives wont open. How can I make them work?
[03:53] <FlitoRay> do i run the fdisk and then redo the steps to write grub to the mbr or just do the fdisk.
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> FlitoRay: http://adrian15.raulete.net/grub/tiki-file_galleries.php
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> FlitoRay: fdisk /mbr will fix windows...
[03:54] <TokenBad> Please anyone know if can use MSI files in ubuntu?
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> FlitoRay: your choice on how to proceed from there
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> TokenBad: yea right
[03:54] <TokenBad> Jack_Sparrow, take that as no...
[03:55] <FlitoRay> Jack_Sparrow, it says unable to open /mbr
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> TokenBad: Sarcasm does work online
[03:55] <FusionXN1> I can't access my slave drives. Can anyone help?
[03:55] <hyphenated> FlitoRay: you have to run that command after booting into windows
[03:55] <FusionXN1> !nvidia
[03:55] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> FlitoRay: how did you run fdisk?
[03:55] <TokenBad> that sucks...a graphics program I want to run...they only have msi files for install files
[03:56] <kdean06> TokenBad, Very few MSI programs run in WINE, which is a way to use certain Windows programs.
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> FlitoRay: Did you boot to a floppy or cd command prompt..
[03:56] <FlitoRay> oh i ran it in knoppix. my windows installation is screwed up. it says unmountable_boot_volume. seperate issue though i thinlk
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> FlitoRay: no your windows are fine
[03:56] <rpedro_> TokenBad: /join #winehq , if there any way , you would need Wine
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> You need to boot a windows cd or floppy
[03:56] <FlitoRay> haha no my windows was screwed up before i rewrote the MBR
[03:57] <kdean06> FlitoRay, It always is. :-)
[03:57] <FusionXN1> No one can help me?
[03:57] <Jack_Sparrow> FlitoRay: THen try the super grub I linked to you
[03:57] <FlitoRay> will do
[03:57] <kdean06> FusionXN1, What format is your secondary drive?
[03:57] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: what format are the drives
[03:57] <kdean06> FusionXN1, And when you say it won't open, do you mean it won't mount, or that it can't read once it's mounted?
[03:58] <TokenBad> wonder if way to convert msi to a exe
[03:58] <FusionXN1> I not sure it says: not removable cannot run pmount
[03:58] <kdean06> TokenBad, You'd still need WINE to run it. Windows programs do not run nativly on Linux.
[03:58] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: What does gparted say about the drives
[03:58] <TokenBad> kdean06, I have wine
[03:59] <FusionXN1> gparted?
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> partitioning program
[03:59] <kdean06> TokenBad, Run the MSI in there. In a terminal do "wine /path/to/file"
[03:59] <rpedro_> TokenBad: http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-users/2005-December/020055.html
[03:59] <livingdaylight> ok, Guys,
[03:59] <kdean06> TokenBad, SOME MSI's work in WINE, but the odds are it won't.
[03:59] <XiXaQ> I'm about to install ubuntu on a partition I've already created. Do I have to format it, or will the installation overwrite existing data?
[03:59] <rpedro_> TokenBad: a simple google search found that
[03:59] <FusionXN1> jack - whats gparted
[03:59] <livingdaylight> dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xfree86 is not working for me?
[04:00] <FusionXN1> Where do i run it
[04:00] <livingdaylight> i can barely make out what is written on my screen
[04:00] <TokenBad> rpedro_, I tried it in wine...
[04:00] <Renan_s2> livingdaylight, dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:00] <livingdaylight> this default resolution with Dapper sux
[04:00] <rpedro_> TokenBad: like it says on that page?
[04:00] <livingdaylight> thx Renan_s2
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1:  terminal gksudo gparted
[04:01] <FusionXN1> command not found
[04:02] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: >
[04:02] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: ?
[04:02] <FusionXN1> i put in a terminal window: gksudo gparted
[04:02] <TokenBad> rpedro_, oh that worked..thanks
[04:02] <FusionXN1> says command not found
[04:02] <rpedro_> TokenBad: great ;)
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: I thought gparted was part of std install
[04:03] <nalioth> did i forget anyone?
[04:03] <TokenBad> will have to remember that
[04:03] <tjb891> ok, if i want to use bittorent and i have to open a port wouldn't my computer then be vulnerable becasue ubuntu dosen't have a firewall?
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: get gparted from the repos
[04:03] <FusionXN1> k 1 mo
[04:03] <TokenBad> sucks that the program no longer works in wine
[04:04] <Jack_Sparrow> tjb891: Linux uses iptables, (firewall managers like firestarter or guarddog) are available
[04:04] <tjb891> but would opening a port for bittorent be dangorous
[04:04] <nalioth> tjb891: if you are worried about ports, you are worried needlessly.  Linux is not windows, and open ports in linux mean nothing
[04:04] <tjb891> why does it mean nothing?
[04:04] <ignacio> no vulneravilities like windows
[04:04] <ignacio> that I know of
[04:05] <ignacio> not on the bare OS
[04:05] <FusionXN1> BRB gotta restart
[04:05] <nalioth> tjb891: is your ubuntu a default install? are you running a web server or ftp server?
[04:05] <tjb891> yes, and no servers
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> tjb891: Ports are handled automatically, but you can use a firewall manager
[04:05] <livingdaylight> Renan_s2, its not working
[04:05] <Renan_s2> livingdaylight, what is the error message?
[04:05] <livingdaylight> grasshopper@hod:~$ sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:05] <livingdaylight> dpkg: conflicting actions --control and --remove
[04:05] <tjb891> ok so if i run bittorent it won't let a hacker in the same port
[04:05] <nalioth> livingdaylight: please don't paste
[04:05] <nalioth> tjb891: no.
[04:05] <Renan_s2> strange
[04:06] <Renan_s2> I've never seen that error
[04:06] <tjb891> so is it safe?
[04:06] <nalioth> tjb891: you'll be fine
[04:06] <montag_> Is it secret? Is it safe?
[04:06] <eyequeue> livingdaylight, dpkg-reconfigure
[04:06] <eyequeue> livingdaylight, omit the space
[04:06] <tjb891> because hacking windows is much safer and there are no linux worms, got it
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> tjb891: Yes, very safe
[04:06] <tjb891> i meant hacking winodws is easier
[04:07] <livingdaylight> eyequeue, nice one ;)
[04:07] <tonyyarusso> I'm having trouble with KPPP.  I can connect with wvdial, but KPPP says "The remote system is required to authenticate itself, but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.  (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)"    Sorry lots going on here
[04:09] <bignose> so i got vmware server running, have my freebsd host running [i moved it from an XP server]  issue is the freebsd machien can't get to the network.
[04:09] <FusionXN1> They wont open
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> are you trying to read or read write to them?
[04:09] <FusionXN1> !nvidia
[04:09] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:09] <FusionXN1> Jack - computer -> open
[04:09] <bignose> i did an arp -n and got this : <IP_ADDRESS>                     (incomplete)                              eth1
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: try this script http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter
[04:10] <FusionXN1> Where do i put that script
[04:10] <livingdaylight> boy oh boy oh boy
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: Just read the simple three lines of instructions
[04:10] <lib8264q> hello all
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: desktop is fine, you only need it once
[04:11] <FusionXN1> Jack it opens in FF
[04:11] <FusionXN1> SO i dont know how to save it
[04:11] <livingdaylight> the screen resolution is a real issue with Dapper; just can't count on screen resolution in system/preference to do it and it doesn't automatically detect the right setting off the cuff either, only way is to plough through the xserver-xorg files
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1:  yes then file save to desktop
[04:11] <livingdaylight> hello lib8264q
[04:12] <FusionXN1> saved
[04:12] <FusionXN1> now run in terminal?
[04:12] <lib8264q> just a quick ? is there an app that makes the icons enlarge like the mac can ??????? when i cursor is placed over them
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> read the three lines of help...
[04:12] <livingdaylight> is the screen resolution gonna be sorted out by the next release of Ubuntu?
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> yes you run in term
[04:12] <help-the-n00b> How can I connect to a remote computer's FS??
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: you will need to restart X in order for the icons to appear on your desktop
[04:13] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, after you have mounted it?
[04:13] <livingdaylight> lib8264q, thats a good question, i hope someone has the answer here
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: Yes, I know the script says you dont...
[04:13] <greenpete> Hi Jack_Sparrow!
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> hey green
[04:13] <FusionXN1> Jack, should i enable to experimental write support ?
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> NO
[04:13] <lib8264q> and  no the answer is   not get a mac  lmao
[04:13] <FusionXN1> so i type n and then enter?
[04:13] <greenpete> No prob with the test and I ran the CD live on this machine with no probs
[04:13] <nalioth> FusionXN1: if you want a clean hard drive to install an OS on
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[04:14] <help-the-n00b> No. Over the internet.
[04:14] <FusionXN1> BRB

[04:14] <|rt|_> anyone here know how to get a wireless device that has stopped showing up to work again....it seems to be related to the wireless button on my laptop....occasionally the wireless controller gets itself into a mode where it doesn't talk to linux any more bust still functions in windows
[04:14] <greenpete> Any ideas?
[04:14] <lib8264q> someone having trouble  installing  ubuntu on a dell ?????
[04:14] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, um, "mount" is used to mount refote fs's
[04:15] <greenpete> Yes me!
[04:15] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, remote, rather
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: not at the moment other than maybe trying a different cd drive
[04:15] <lib8264q> green i have a delll lappy  .... hjad a lot of trouble installing on ...
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: I have it running on two dell lappy and an hp lappy and 6 desktops

[04:16] <geokok> hi, quick question: in windows I had ccleaner to get rid of unwanted files (tmp, cache, etc)Is there something that does the same in ubuntu?
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: my C610's didnt have any problem
[04:16] <greenpete> There is a second graphics card in it
[04:16] <greenpete> Its an odd one!
[04:16] <help-the-n00b> So how do I use mount over an internet connectio?
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: That is where I would start..
[04:16] <help-the-n00b> Connection.
[04:16] <lib8264q> if one is on board disable that ....
[04:16] <greenpete> Ok I will remove the second graphics card and try again! Thanks guys!
[04:17] <srikat_> test
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:17] <srikat_> hi Jack_Sparrow
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Hey, back for more abuse
[04:17] <help-the-n00b> IQ?
[04:17] <srikat_> Jack_Sparrow, I've enabled remote desktop. Can you pls test it?
[04:17] <livingdaylight> lib8264q, did you figure out how to get the tabs to buff up when you go over them with the curser, like the Mac?
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> srikat_: very busy, please try someone else..
[04:18] <srikat_> k
[04:18] <help-the-n00b> IQ, Can I PM you?
[04:18] <livingdaylight> lib8264q, are you ignoring me by any chance?
[04:18] <lib8264q> naw sorry it was just something that popped into my head when i seen  my friends  new mac  today ... wondered if you could get the same effect  in ubuntu ... (id buy a mac  just for that )
[04:18] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, help-the-n00b okay
[04:19] <lib8264q> lol
[04:19] <livingdaylight> lib8264q, ; )
[04:19] <dli> lib8264q, like Xgl? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xgl
[04:20] <lib8264q> but i seen a screen shot somewhere  in my travels  and  it was a linux  machine  and the icons were doing that effect ...
[04:20] <livingdaylight> lib8264q, there's gotta be a way in ubuntu even if the team have to work overtime to figure it out. can be having people leave and go for Mac for that reason
[04:20] <XiXa1> I need to update my graphics driver, but I cannot reboot the system, because I'm running live cd. Any suggestions?
[04:20] <livingdaylight> lib8264q, yea, i'm sure i've seen it aswell, i feel i have, but can't help you with it
[04:20] <|rt|> when i try to get my wireless device to come up the dmesg just says link is not ready
[04:21] <|rt|> any ideas how to trouble shoot?
[04:21] <lib8264q> that and the way the windows closed  ... oh ill have one of them  ...lol
[04:21] <greenpete> Jack_Sparrow, lib8264q... the second graphics card is gone but still no go :-(
[04:21] <help-the-n00b> How do I use mount to access a remote computer?
[04:21] <srikat_> XiXa1, AFAIK any changes done thru livecd won't remain upon nxt boot
[04:21] <lib8264q> is the a desktop machine ?
[04:21] <XiXa1> srikat, therefore I cannot reboot...
[04:22] <lib8264q> do you know which graphics chip was in it ?
[04:22] <fuzzy3chigga4> hey guys, is there a package i can remove that will make a desktop install only have the packages for a server installed?
[04:22] <Jack_Sparrow> greenpete: I have been up too long, I am out of ideas... Anyone else...
[04:22] <srikat_> XiXa1, is the open src driver provided (vesa?) not good enuff?
[04:22] <lib8264q> is yor install crashing all the time ??????????
[04:23] <XiXa1> srikat_: I have no 3d graphics.
[04:23] <greenpete> Ok thanks again for your time. I may sleep on it my self!
[04:23] <FusionXN1> I got a BIG program
[04:23] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: what
[04:23] <FusionXN1> I installed nvidia drivers now i get X Failed to start GUI disabled
[04:23] <FusionXN1> im on the live cd right now
[04:23] <TokenBad> why is it..every weather script I get for xchat I can't get to run
[04:23] <fuzzy3chigga4> lib8264q: i started out with a desktop but i dont need graphics any more...unless you werent talking to me
[04:24] <FusionXN1> How do i fix that
[04:24] <srikat_> XiXa1, oh...may be Jack_Sparrow knows the answer
[04:24] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, did you get my /msg?
[04:24] <help-the-n00b> Yes.
[04:24] <help-the-n00b> Did you get mine?
[04:24] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, no
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> srikathe would be 4th in line at this moment and I am lookng at dinner getting cold.
[04:25] <srikat_> FusionXN1, didn't you back up xorg.conf?
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> srikat:
[04:25] <Zambezi> I have screen, but I don't think I use the right combination. Cause the session logs out and I have to restart the session and that's annoying.
[04:25] <FusionXN1> no i installed it as on the webpage... it said MD5 error recheck? i said yes it said reboot X i did and now it dont work
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: I thought you were trying to mont your ntfs drives, when did you install the NV drivers
[04:25] <help-the-n00b> I must specify the filesystem type. What is a PC's type?
[04:25] <Tonren> hey guys, I'm trying to bind a key combo to a script I wrote, but it's not working.  I have a zenity dialogue running from it, and it's just not running when I hit the bound keys.
[04:26] <FusionXN1> Jack - just before
[04:26] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, -t fstypehere, i would guess
[04:26] <bthornton> I've done a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on my machine and just now realized that the OSS drivers have been loaded by default for my soundcard.  I thought OSS is being depreciated?  Any pointers on how I can switch the drivers to ALSA (nForce2 sound)?
[04:26] <matsur> Hi, I'd like to manipulate volume via xbindkeys.  Is this true?
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: that really compounds the problem...
[04:26] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, nfs?
[04:26] <help-the-n00b> What is the type though?
[04:26] <FusionXN1> someone told me to put this on the black screen: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: SO now you need to look at your xorg.conf
[04:27] <FusionXN1> I need to disable the nvidia drivers
[04:27] <FusionXN1> dam things dont work?!
[04:27] <FusionXN1> !nvidia
[04:27] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:27] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, -t nfs
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: You should be able to hit E at the grub menu
[04:27] <srikat_> FusionXN1, may be try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or open up xorg.conf and change "nvidia" to "nv"?
[04:27] <chill_guy> Hi all
[04:28] <IcemanV9> is there a way to show which dir have more than 1G by using du command?? i don't want to see any dir less than 1G.
[04:28] <chill_guy> guys on unbuntu, how to I connect wireless? :s
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: I run the Nvidia drivers with no problems just followed the wiki..
[04:28] <help-the-n00b> So " sudo mount fsname -t nfs paths/and/stuff"?
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> srikatagreed
[04:28] <FusionXN1> K i get a black screen wi login and its just like a big terminal do i type it there?
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> srikat_: agreed
[04:28] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, the remote machine needs to see something like "ext3" but the nfs daemon on the remote end translates all to type nfs before interacting with incoming calls
[04:28] <chill_guy> can i connect wireless on my ubuntu
[04:28] <chill_guy> ?
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> FusionXN1: yes
[04:29] <chill_guy> how FusionXN1?
[04:29] <johnny_> can someone help me with the installation process?
[04:29] <FusionXN1> brb
[04:29] <chill_guy> yes johnny
[04:29] <lufis> Have you guys heard? Linus Torvalds has breast cancer!
[04:29] <IcemanV9> chill_guy: yes, you can
[04:29] <mathieu_> johnny_: what is the problem
[04:29] <chill_guy> tell me your question johanny
[04:29] <chill_guy> So fusionXN1 how do i connect wireless?
[04:29] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, to use what you said as example: sudo mount remotemachineaddress:/paths/and/stuff /your/local/mountpoint
[04:30] <IcemanV9> !wireless > chill_guy
[04:30] <prabhu> !wireless
[04:30] <johnny_> i get an error message to check /var/log/syslog   and it gives back  Fatal Eroor Instertin apm (/lib/modules2.6.12-9-386/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.ko): no such device
[04:30] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:30] <chill_guy> GUYS DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO CONNECT WIRELESS ON UBUNTU?
[04:30] <mathieu_> chill_guy: yes

[04:30] <s_spiff> ok the topic doesnt say anything... but are the repos down again?
[04:30] <chill_guy> how?
[04:30] <IcemanV9> chill_guy: read the link
[04:31] <s_spiff> chill_guy, no caps
[04:31] <mathieu_> chill_guy: it depends on your hardware
[04:31] <chill_guy> what link Iceman
[04:31] <eyequeue> help-the-n00b, correction: sudo mount -t nfs remotemachineaddress:/paths/and/stuff /your/local/mountpoint (ut's just that -t nfs has always been autosensed for me)
[04:31] <mathieu_> chill_guy: do you know if your card is detected ?
[04:31] <johnny_> does anyone know how to fix it?
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !wireless > chill_guy

[04:50] <Warbo> Well, reliably, but should be safe
[04:50] <Artan1s> srikat: Sure
[04:50] <Flannel> FusionXN1: you can't *safely* write to NTFS partitions

[04:51] <Daver23x> Flannel I will try GParted in terminal
[04:51] <CanadaGradeEh> That is usually a common problem with high temperatures
[04:51] <klees> through the internet/cable connection?

[04:52] <Warbo> klees: A TV capture device is needed, either a PCI one like my analog one, or some modern digital onesare USB
[04:52] <Flannel> FusionXN1: ubotu sent you some stuff that's not completely stable, it might lose all the data on the partition, if you write with it.
[04:52] <QMario> IcemanV9, it is not on this computer.

[04:52] <Daver23x> no
[04:52] <srikat> mmm..for some reason my PMs aren't reaching you Artan1s
[04:52] <FusionXN1> Well i want to convert to FAT32 so i can be safe
[04:52] <Warbo> klees: Internet can be used for video podcasts and stuff, which is not quite TV, but similar
[04:52] <Daver23x> I need a gui program :)
[04:52] <klees> Warbo: so just the video card wont cut it huh?
[04:52] <Artan1s> srikat: Can you read mine
[04:52] <QMario> !GUI
[04:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about GUI - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:52] <Flannel> Daver23x: good, GParted is for you.  You might need to install it first though
[04:53] <CanadaGradeEh> Graphical User Interface
[04:53] <CanadaGradeEh> GUI
[04:53] <srikat> yes Artan1s, let's join a chan by your nick so both of us can talk there
[04:53] <Daver23x> Indeed I do... thanks
[04:53] <eyequeue> srikat, it was happening to me earlier too, someone's not reachine me
[04:53] <FusionXN1> Is there anyway to convert it?
[04:53] <Warbo> klees: "video card" is sometimes a graphics card, and sometimes a TV card, depending on the context. I assume youare talking about a graphics card, then the answer is no
[04:53] <Flannel> You can't send queries if you're not registered.  srikat and eyequeue
[04:53] <CanadaGradeEh> QMario, how long hve you had the processor that is overheating, and how long has it been overheating?
[04:53] <Flannel> registered and identified, that is.
[04:53] <CanadaGradeEh> It's kind of hard to judge your predicament with such little knowledge, but I'll try to help lol
[04:53] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, less than 2 weeks.

[04:54] <klees> Warbo: I have a Radeon 9800 Pro
[04:54] <CanadaGradeEh> It's been hot like that since purchase?
[04:54] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, no.
[04:54] <Flannel> FusionXN1: not really, formats by definition are destructive
[04:54] <eyequeue> Flannel, coukld be that he was not though, thanks for the explanation
[04:54] <Warbo> klees: What I mean is that the term "video card" has two meanings. A graphics card cannot usually pick up TV signals
[04:54] <Daver23x> we have liftoff (space music plays) 160gb of space.......... (for 80cnd at best buy lol)
[04:54] <Flannel> FusionXN1: do you absolutely need to write to it?
[04:54] <FusionXN1> flan so I CANT convert?
[04:54] <FusionXN1> Yes it has my work on it
[04:54] <CanadaGradeEh> Are you running Intel?
[04:55] <fuoco> anyone gets aac files to work in totem/gstreamer ?
[04:55] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh,  the computer freezes before OS boots.
[04:55] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, yes.
[04:55] <dribble> anybody on quicken 2006 premier w/crossover office?
[04:55] <CanadaGradeEh> Ah, I see. Do you overclock?
[04:55] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, Pentium 4 LGA775.
[04:55] <Flannel> FusionXN1: right, but do you need to write? or is reading enough?
[04:55] <klees> ic
[04:55] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, no.
[04:55] <CanadaGradeEh> The first thing I'm going to suggset is to make suer that the heatsink fan is properly on
[04:55] <Warbo> FusionXN1: You want to convert it to make writing safe, but converting it is unsafe as well, so either way you are screwed
[04:55] <gbdm> Anyone have a guide to get a Linksys WMP54GS to work under Ubuntu with WEP enabled?
[04:55] <klees> Warbo: i was curious because i just bought a 20.1 in widescreen monitor
[04:55] <klees> and was thinking on making it a one stop shop
[04:55] <CanadaGradeEh> Also, make sure your video card is working properly. See that IT'S fan is working properly and that all devices are connect properly
[04:55] <QMario> Nalioth, what did he do?
[04:56] <Flannel> FusionXN1: you can convert by copying everything off, formatting, and then copying everything back on.  That's how one has to change partition types
[04:56] <FusionXN1> So your telling me i just came onto ubuntu and cant use slave drives with ubuntu?
[04:56] <Daver23x> Flannel -- how come it only sees 149.05 GB
[04:56] <supernix>  is it true that you can only use broadband to share a internet connection in other words can you effectively share a 56k connection ?
[04:56] <Flannel> Daver23x: how big is the drive?
[04:56] <Daver23x> 160
[04:56] <Warbo> klees: eBay may help you. Do a bit of research before you buy anything though, since my PCTV card needs a lot of tweaking to stop the signal being black and white
[04:56] <FusionXN1> That means moving over 200gb
[04:56] <FusionXN1> ill have to rig up my xbox then
[04:56] <mikim> hey.. my cedega is not getting any internet access anyone knows how to fix this?
[04:56] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, why would a video card cause the computer to freeze?
[04:56] <denver1> i have Mepis 6 installed and went into Mpeis Utilities to install the nvidia driver and have rebooted and glxgears doesnt work and i get this message http://www.itwarehouse.com.au/warehouse/list.htm
[04:56] <Flannel> Daver23x: because that's 160GB, the partitioner is in GiB (1024 instead of 1000)
[04:56] <klees> what do u connect to the card?
[04:57] <denver1> glxgears
[04:57] <denver1> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:57] <denver1> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[04:57] <eyequeue> supernix, if you mean NAT, that is not restricted to broadband, if you have sufficient patience
[04:57] <Daver23x> ahh
[04:57] <BioticPro> what program to use to rip cda files on the HD to wav files?
[04:57] <lib8264q> share a 56k connection  .... have you used a 56k connection  much ?????
[04:57] <FusionXN1> How do i know if im using nvidia drivers
[04:57] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, I have a low-profile video card: XGI Volari V3 128MB DDR
[04:57] <Daver23x> and for um movies and music and stuff what format is best ext3?
[04:57] <mikim> anyone?
[04:57] <Daver23x> or 2
[04:57] <eyequeue> lib8264q, i've used much slower, just not recently (and would no longer have the patience, heh)
[04:57] <supernix> so eyequeue it is just a matter of having extreme patients to share a 56k connection
[04:57] <QMario> !Media
[04:57] <Warbo> FusionXN1: "lsmod | grep nvidia" and "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nvidia"
[04:57] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[04:57] <CanadaGradeEh> It still is going to give you problems if it's not being cooled or running properly
[04:58] <supernix> actually I have a 5mbps cable connection
[04:58] <CanadaGradeEh> So, as I said, make sure Nothing is loose or not functioning as it should
[04:58] <FusionXN1> command not found
[04:58] <Warbo> BioticPro: Use FLAC or something else lossless. WAV is huge
[04:58] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, have you ever heard of that video card?
[04:58] <Tonren> my firefox download dialogue is broken :(
[04:58] <eyequeue> supernix, yeah, the technical side is still the same, the human side is the limitation, heh
[04:58] <CanadaGradeEh> I've seen so many heat problems stem from a simple loose heatsink
[04:58] <Daver23x> !disk label
[04:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about disk label - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:58] <lib8264q> hey iv forgotten what 9600 was like ..... ;) lmao
[04:58] <CanadaGradeEh> Nope, I haven't actually
[04:58] <klees> Warbo: what do u connect to ur tv card?
[04:58] <mikim> anyone has cedega that can help me with project entropia?
[04:58] <BioticPro> Warbo: ok, what program will convert cda to flach (cda files are already on the HD)
[04:58] <Warbo> klees: Composite for camcorder and regular terrestrial aerial for TV
[04:59] <supernix> I konw that was what I thought I kept recalling back in the day when 14400 baud was high speed
[04:59] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, also, 3 of my heatsink/fan pegs are broken. Might that contribute to the problem?
[04:59] <CanadaGradeEh> That seems about the problem lol
[04:59] <Warbo> BioticPro: The only thing I know that can do anything is bchunk, which can convert them to ISO-9660 images (".iso")
[04:59] <klees> Warbo: do u have to connect it to a TV?
[04:59] <QMario> CanadaGradeEh, that is the problem?
[04:59] <QMario> How?
[04:59] <lib8264q> can just imagine sharing a 56k connection .. come on come on ... go mnake the tea  take the dog for a walk first page maby have loaded by then  lol
[04:59] <Warbo> klees: If I want TV signals then yes
[05:00] <Warbo> klees: Oh, you mean the box? No
[05:00] <supernix> so there would be lots of latency I take it
[05:00] <Warbo> klees: The applications like Zpping or TVTime display it on the monitor
[05:00] <klees> i meant the tv card in ur comp
[05:00] <mikim> no one can help me?
[05:00] <Warbo> *Zapping
[05:00] <AllAround> can someone who could help me with ubuntu installation msg me?
[05:00] <Flannel> AllAround: what's the problem?
[05:01] <Warbo> klees: The TV card is just input. The only thing I have that would connect to a TV is the TV-out on my graphics card
[05:01] <AllAround> i can't get it to install from a cd so i was wondering if there is a way to do it from you hard drive
[05:01] <BioticPro> Warbo: is there not a way to simply burn the cda files to a playable cd with k3b or roast etc..?
[05:01] <mike-e> anyone want to help me get an isa sound card to work?
[05:01] <godtvisken> How do I clean up all of the old versions of programs and the downloaded *.deb files left behind?
[05:01] <Warbo> BioticPro: Maybe bchunk's output iso can be burned to a playable CD? I am not overly familiar with CD audio
[05:01] <Warbo> sudo apt-get clean
[05:01] <gbdm> Anyone have a guide to get a Linksys WMP54GS to work under Ubuntu with WEP enabled?
[05:02] <Flannel> godtvisken: the old versions you'll need to remove them via apt, but yeah, that command for the deb caches
[05:02] <Warbo> Old packages are kept in /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:02] <godtvisken> thanks for the info guys
[05:03] <FusionXN1> I installed the nvidia drivers and I got an X SERVER error. How do i configure them to make them work with 7900gt
[05:04] <wastrel> pilot-link is segfaulting on me. also gnome pilot
[05:04] <godtvisken> Flannel: well, when i use the ubuntu update does it remove the old versions? or say when i apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get a newer version of a program
[05:04] <mikim> my cedega can not get any internet access need help msg me!
[05:04] <godtvisken> Flannel: are the old binaries left behind?
[05:04] <Daver23x> What is better ext2 or ext3
[05:05] <FusionXN1> How do i configure the nvidia drivers for a 7900gt?
[05:05] <Frankenstein> hi, im having trouble with my system hanging on "Starting hotplug subsystem"
[05:05] <Flannel> godtvisken: it depends.  Usually there are half a dozen or so older versions still around, but it does depend on the packages themselves.  If, for instance, you look in Synaptic, you'll see a "local and obsolete" packages, those are leftovers (or packages you've installed that aren't in the repositories)
[05:05] <GuitarHero11> Im trying to install ati drivers to play wolfenstein.  I have the game installed and i think i got fglrx installed(i recompiled and everything) but it runs really choppy.  This is my fglrxinfo:
[05:06] <GuitarHero11> display: :0.0  screen: 0
[05:06] <GuitarHero11> OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.

[05:06] <GuitarHero11> OpenGL version string: 2.0.5879 (8.26.18)
[05:06] <GuitarHero11> i think its the generic rendering string
[05:06] <Flannel> mikim: you might have better luck at a cegeda channel
[05:06] <GuitarHero11> im not running it with cegeda
[05:06] <GuitarHero11> wolfenstein is linux native
[05:06] <mikim> Flannel, yeah.. no one answers there.. =(
[05:06] <nalioth> GuitarHero11: please don't paste

[05:08] <prabhu> hello,  can someone help me install firefox on kubuntu??
[05:08] <Jenkens> how come i can see a policy for samba that shows an updated revision in dapper-security, but apt-get ugrade doesn't grab it?
[05:08] <Frankenstein> i have the breezy cd, i got it installed but when i go to boot up i get "Starting hotplug subsystem" and it hangs there...  ill upgrade to dapper if i can just boot into breezy

[05:08] <Flannel> prabhu: er, you have problems with getting it from the repositories?
[05:09] <Flannel> prabhu: sorry, that sounded wrong.  What problems you having?
[05:09] <Frankenstein> so no one knows?
[05:10] <danielllllllllll> the installer freeze on the partition? Is it common?
[05:10] <Flannel> Frankenstein: people who know aren't necessarily here or active.  You might try googling while you wait
[05:10] <dsl514> hi one q/a how do i share a ppp0 connection with 1 crossover cable?
[05:10] <Frankenstein> Flannel: did and done that... it just says dapper will fix it... BUT i would use dapper if i could

[05:10] <Frankenstein> i need to be able to at least boot into breezy than upgrade
[05:11] <danielllllllllll> someone?
[05:12] <bimberi> !edgy
[05:12] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[05:12] <fuoco> !schedule
[05:12] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[05:12] <Flannel> mikim: doesn't transgaming provide support for cegeda?
[05:13] <danielllllllllll> someone can give a help?
[05:13] <Jenkens> any ideas?
[05:13] <Daver23x> so....
[05:13] <rende> whats best torrent client in your guys opinion?
[05:13] <mikim> Flannel, yeah they do.. but they are hard to get in contact with... do you got any ideas?
[05:13] <rende> I dont like azureus much cause its java
[05:13] <Jenkens> rende: yet, it's the best one ;)
[05:14] <Daver23x> how would I go about accessing hdb from the GUI
[05:14] <rende> Jenkens: true :)
[05:14] <rende> Jenkens: I still like the lightweight functionality of something like transmission
[05:14] <Flannel> mikim: nope.  I don't use cegeda, and I don't actually know of anyone here that does.
[05:14] <gbdm> Anyone have a guide to get a Linksys WMP54GS to work under Ubuntu with WEP enabled?
[05:14] <rende> Jenkens: wasn't sure if there was something like that out there I was missing
[05:14] <Flannel> Daver23x: from GParted?  just select the harddrive, from the dropdown menu
[05:14] <mikim> Flannel, what r u using? xwine?
[05:15] <TokenBad> whats command for mounting an ext3 partition?
[05:15] <BioticPro> How do I convert cda file on my HD to flac?
[05:15] <Daver23x> Flannel: I did that i mean from gnome.. to save files and to open with the file browser etc
[05:15] <rende> hi fusionxn1
[05:16] <Flannel> Daver23x: ah, Well, you won't actually open "hdb" you'll open a partition on it, hdb1 hdb5, etc.  And, you'll have to open them from whereever they happen to be mounted
[05:16] <FusionXN1> This may sound stupid but how do i select soemthing in the terminal (i want to select 1680x1050)
[05:16] <vy2wu> quit
[05:16] <FusionXN1> Hi rends
[05:16] <dsl514> Hi i connected two pcs with one crossover cable 1-3 2-6 ftp/http/ssh how do i share a ext usr modem 33.6k
[05:17] <rende> FusionXN1: you want to change screen resolutions?
[05:17] <gbdm> !wmp54gs
[05:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about wmp54gs - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[05:17] <FusionXN1> im reconfiguring my xorg i dont know how to select the resolution *pressing enter goes onto the next step)
[05:17] <Frankenstein> try tab
[05:17] <FusionXN1> nope goes onto OK
[05:17] <Frankenstein> ohh
[05:17] <Flannel> Daver23x: I believe you can mount partitions at system > administration > disks (or something like that), by selecting the partition, and clicking "enable"
[05:17] <Frankenstein> space bar
[05:18] <FusionXN1> good man
[05:18] <FusionXN1> thanks
[05:18] <Frankenstein> np
[05:18] <khoda`> when someone says cat [file]  what does that mean?
[05:18] <Daver23x> yeah that screen freezes or takes forever... established that already
[05:18] <Flannel> khoda`: cat prints the contents of a file
[05:18] <FusionXN1> BRB :)
[05:18] <Frankenstein> type man cat and find ouy
[05:18] <Frankenstein> out*
[05:18] <khoda`> Flannel: how do i do that
[05:18] <dscherba> TokenBad: 'mount -t ext3 /dev/somethingoranother /some/location'
[05:18] <wastrel> khoda`:  that's a command line program you type the name of the command at the terminal
[05:19] <Flannel> khoda`: er, what? type "cat [file] " where [file is the path to the file
[05:19] <khoda`> Flannel: k thanks
[05:19] <FusionXN1> YIPEE nvidia drivers now workign :)
[05:19] <FusionXN1> got my native resolution back
[05:20] <Daver23x> TokenBad: what is the /some/location part?
[05:20] <khoda`> Hey someone said to check if there are any "internal addresses" in my /etc/resolv.conf file. how do i know?
[05:20] <FusionXN1> Anyone recommend me a good DVD player for linux?
[05:20] <khoda`> my internet is running very slow, thats why
[05:20] <Frankenstein> type: vi /etc/resolv.conf
[05:20] <FusionXN1> I get 10kbs more on ubuntu then windows
[05:20] <jackinthebox6386> is there a way to put a linksys wireless-b adapter in monitor mode?
[05:20] <khoda`> Frankenstein: but how do i know if there are internal addresses, what does tha tmean
[05:21] <FusionXN1> BRB
[05:21] <wastrel> khoda`:  that means ip addresses on your local area network.
[05:21] <rende> FusionXN1: I like mplayer, but that plays everything
[05:21] <khoda`> wastrel: they're all 68.x.x.x.x
[05:21] <rende> FusionXN1: Not sure of a decent dedicated DVD player if thats what you want
[05:22] <Frankenstein> how can i diable hotplug during install?! i have scsii
[05:22] <dscherba> Daver23x: you can mount to anywhere in your filesystem, so replace /some/location with where you want the thing to end up... like /mnt/home2
[05:22] <warlock> Is there a file to unzip a .tar.gz file -WITHOUT- overwriting files in the map im unzipping it in?
[05:22] <wastrel> khoda`:  i assume those are your ISP's nameservers
[05:22] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1: I did some research and found that with some tuning, XMMS is a great media player is library support and even an equalizer
[05:22] <khoda`> dammit
[05:22] <TokenBad> I got it thanks folks
[05:22] <FusionXN1> thanks rends
[05:23] <khoda`> Does anyone know why it takes me awhile to connect to things. once i'm connected it's fine, but it takes awhile to connect???
[05:23] <FusionXN1> thanks jackin
[05:23] <Daver23x> How do you create the mount point (says It doesnt exsist) do you just make a dir?
[05:23] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:NP
[05:23] <wastrel> Daver23x:  yes
[05:23] <dribble> alright, so anybody who was listening -- quicken 2004 deluxe seems to work fine w/crossover.  however, 2006 does not.
[05:23] <dr_willis> Quicken - Ewwww..
[05:23] <dr_willis> :)
[05:23] <warlock> Is there a file to unzip a .tar.gz file -WITHOUT- overwriting files in the map im unzipping it in?
[05:23] <dr_willis> I still get junk mail from that company - 10 yrs later.
[05:24] <dr_willis> warlock,  in the map?
[05:24] <khoda`> Does anyone know why it takes me awhile to connect to things. once i'm connected it's fine, but it takes awhile to connect? is it a firewall issue? everything runs fine in windows
[05:24] <dr_willis> warlock,  check the tar man pages perhaps? or uncompress the file to a seperate dir. then copy the stuff over.
[05:24] <warlock> dr_willis, yeah, well, my .tar.gz contains a few maps, I dont want to overwrite anything
[05:24] <warlock> dr_willis
[05:24] <FusionXN1> I know linux doesn't need defraging (w00t) but if i move 140gb of files to ubuntu and format the other drive and put them back will it effect anything?
[05:24] <warlock> erm, you're right, im so stupid at sometimes.
[05:24] <dli> khoda`, dns errors?
[05:24] <dr_willis> FusionXN1,  shouldent.
[05:25] <warlock> thanks, Im just having an slow day.
[05:25] <khoda`> dli: how can i check?
[05:25] <FusionXN1> dr_ cheers mate
[05:25] <dr_willis> FusionXN1,  but it depends on what files. :)
[05:25] <FusionXN1> im on ubuntu only now
[05:25] <kintaro0e> hi guys..whats the use of system.map and initrd /boot directory. when i try doing a manual kernel compilation..i doesnt need to use those to files..any advice?
[05:25] <Flannel> FusionXN1: Do you intend to continue to use these other drives with Windows?
[05:25] <dr_willis> FusionXN1,  and other details that may affect ya.
[05:25] <FusionXN1> dr_ I cant tell you that ;)
[05:25] <dli> khoda`, can you test using IP instead of hostname?
[05:25] <Renan_s2> is there any way to resize a partition without formatting it?
[05:25] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:Im sorry, came half way into your conversation. I thought u were refering to an audio player(for wwhich i reccomend XMMS), regardless, i reccomend VLC.  Works great
[05:25] <Daver23x> last question I want to add that to the Gnome places menu  where do you do that?
[05:25] <Flannel> FusionXN1: format them to ext3 or something, not fat
[05:25] <warlock> dr_willis, how do i unzip the file help.tar.gz to /home/cs/ ?
[05:25] <AllAround> Can someone help me correctly burn Ubuntu to a CD?
[05:25] <FusionXN1> thanks jackin!
[05:25] <khoda`> dli: what's googles ip
[05:25] <warlock> if the file is in /home/cs/1
[05:25] <khoda`> :)
[05:25] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:NP
[05:25] <Renan_s2> format to ReiserFS
[05:26] <pepsi> dli, <IP_ADDRESS> is one of several
[05:26] <FusionXN1> flannel... i  **MAY** dont flame me - put windows on a 2nd partition does that work with windows?
[05:26] <warlock> AllAround, a tip, dont use dr-rw discs, only CD-R. :)
[05:26] <dr_willis> warlock,  for a start quit using the phrase "UNZIP" you use the tar command,., NOT 'unzip'
[05:26] <Renan_s2> FusionXN1, yes
[05:26] <dli> khoda`, or <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:26] <dr_willis> warlock,  or ya could use 'mc' and view the contents of the archive and copy stuff out of it.
[05:26] <khoda`> dli: that as the problem, the IP is fast, host name slow. how do i fix it?
[05:26] <FusionXN1> As i want a partition that is friendly with all OS
[05:26] <warlock> hmm
[05:26] <warlock> ok
[05:26] <FusionXN1> linux + xp / vista
[05:26] <Renan_s2> FusionXN1, then the only option is FAT32
[05:26] <Flannel> FusionXN1: I don't care if you use windows or not.  ext3 won't work with windows, fat will.  So, if you're planning on installing windows, you'll have to use fat
[05:26] <prabhu> is it possible to install firefox in kubuntu?
[05:26] <FusionXN1> 14mins and files will be moved
[05:26] <Renan_s2> there is a Ext3 driver for Windows, but I've never got it working
[05:26] <dli> khoda`, check your /etc/resolv.conf , make sure you are using the right ones
[05:26] <Flannel> prabhu: yes.  What issues you having?
[05:27] <dr_willis> I have windowsxp set where i  can read/write to ext3 just fine.
[05:27] <Renan_s2> it always tell me that the partition is invalid
[05:27] <khoda`> dli: how do i know if they're right?
[05:27] <prabhu> it will not start
[05:27] <Flannel> Renan_s2: no, they're worse than the NTFS drivers for linux ;)
[05:27] <dr_willis> but thgere are potential issues to be carefull with.
[05:27] <khoda`> dli: and how do i fix them if they're not?
[05:27] <orbin> Daver23x: i think you need to mount the partition in /media
[05:27] <dli> khoda`, your ISP should tell you the right ones
[05:27] <dr_willis> Ive had no real issues using them
[05:27] <Daver23x> I did ;)
[05:27] <Daver23x> still not there perhaps a reboot
[05:27] <FusionXN1> SO FAT32 then
[05:27] <AllAround> Can someone help me correctly burn Ubuntu to a CD?
[05:27] <prabhu> i extracted it to /usr/local/bin
[05:27] <FusionXN1> will it be as fast / operate the same they are 200gig drives
[05:27] <fuoco> can ubuntu automatically install packages from source just like it does with binary packages ? (or what does deb-src mean ?)
[05:27] <orbin> Daver23x: someone also said you need the userid option or something enabled
[05:27] <khoda`> dli: whats the command to change it
[05:27] <Daver23x> my usb drive is there though
[05:28] <prabhu> created a menu entry but the application will not start
[05:28] <Flannel> AllAround: cap the burn speed at 4x, and write the iso.  The CD does NOT have an iso file on it, it has the contents of the iso.  There's a difference.
[05:28] <dli> khoda`, vi /etc/resolv.conf
[05:28] <Daver23x> hrmm could it be edit menus
[05:28] <dr_willis> fuoco,  check out the apt-get faq/docs - it can do so.. but i dont recall how. (type !apt-get) and read the bots urls
[05:28] <Flannel> fuoco: deb-src downloads the source for packages
[05:28] <dli> khoda`, if you are using dhcp, it's tricky then
[05:28] <khoda`> dli: lets see what happens :D
[05:28] <fuoco> Flannel: doesn't install ?
[05:28] <jackinthebox6386> dr_willis- ext3 works great, use it for 3 different OS's
[05:28] <prabhu> ??
[05:28] <fuoco> Flannel: compile/install i mean ?
[05:29] <dr_willis> jackinthebox6386,  i use the one at http://www.fs-driver.org/ to get xp to use it. :P for my mp3 storage needs.
[05:29] <NewUbuntuUser> hi
[05:29] <fuoco> !apt-get
[05:29] <ubotu> apt is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto  -  Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[05:29] <NewUbuntuUser> im trying to install xgl on my new ubuntu system
[05:29] <NewUbuntuUser> i followed the instructions on the wiki
[05:29] <NewUbuntuUser> but i get errors
[05:29] <Flannel> NewUbuntuUser: #ubuntu-xgl is the place for help, and links, and stuff.
[05:29] <FusionXN1> no apt-get for skype?
[05:29] <dr_willis> NewUbuntuUser,  i would have to advise to not mess with xgl at this time.
[05:29] <jackinthebox6386> dr_willis: thats exactly where i went, works great, no probs
[05:29] <NewUbuntuUser> thank you
[05:29] <Flannel> !tell FusionXN1 about skype
[05:30] <dr_willis> jackinthebox6386,  just got to watch out what you delete/edit/change. :P
[05:30] <FusionXN1> So if i format them with FAT32 everything will be the same and work on windows AND ubuntu?
[05:30] <FusionXN1> xp + vista
[05:30] <jackinthebox6386> dr_willis: you mean in linux?
[05:30] <dr_willis> jackinthebox6386,  from whithin windows you could trash the linux system and make it.. well.. gone. :P dont delete /boot for example by mistake.
[05:30] <Flannel> FusionXN1: right, except you won't have permissions, and under certain circumstances its slwoer
[05:31] <dr_willis> jackinthebox6386,  best to have /home on its own partition that xp can access.
[05:31] <FusionXN1> permissions? does that matter?
[05:31] <NewUbuntuUser> would any of you be able to tell me how to fix this?
[05:31] <NewUbuntuUser> Xgl: error while loading shared libraries: libXfont.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:31] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1: what are you trying to do?
[05:31] <warlock> dr_willis, im new to ubuntu, how do I force to remove a dir? "rm -d -f dir" ?
[05:31] <NewUbuntuUser> the library is installed but it wont work for some reason
[05:31] <Flannel> NewUbuntuUser: #ubuntu-xgl for XGL related questions please
[05:31] <khoda`> dli: how do i get out of this vi thing
[05:31] <NewUbuntuUser> it seems like a general question
[05:31] <Flannel> khoda`: :q
[05:31] <dr_willis> warlock,  it may bw worth while to read a few bash/linux beginner guides.. i normall  use rm -rf
[05:31] <khoda`> Flannel: not workin
[05:32] <elg> can anyone tell me why /proc/bus/usb isn't mounte din dapper?
[05:32] <FusionXN1> jackin i gotta format 2 drives to work with ubuntu (READ AND WRITE SAFE!) and xp + vista
[05:32] <khoda`> Flannel: just hit 'q'
[05:32] <Flannel> khoda`: no.  :q
[05:32] <khoda`> Flannel: how do i save changes
[05:32] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1: i tried FAT 32 and ext 3
[05:32] <FusionXN1> jackin - and?
[05:32] <Flannel> khoda`: :w
[05:32] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:ext3 is best, you cant write to FAT32 in linux, no matter what u change
[05:33] <Renan_s2> jackinthebox6386, you can
[05:33] <Daver23x> /etc/init.d/dbus-1 restart
[05:33] <Flannel> jackinthebox6386: er, what?
[05:33] <Renan_s2> I am using FAT32 RIGHT NOW :)
[05:33] <FusionXN1> SO what should i do?
[05:33] <dli> khoda`, http://tnerual.eriogerg.free.fr/vimqrc.html
[05:33] <dr_willis> jackinthebox6386,  Huh.. ya mean to NTFS? you can easially write to fat32
[05:33] <warlock> cheers dr_willis
[05:33] <Flannel> FusionXN1: fat32 is your only option.  It's far from optimal, but it works
[05:33] <FusionXN1> flannel - the 2 drives are for storage
[05:33] <Renan_s2> Anybody here knows how to set a multimedia keyboard to work with amaroK? I tried setting "global hotkeys" but it doesn't work.
[05:34] <Renan_s2> On Ubuntu 5.10 it worked, however.
[05:34] <Ksilebo> Hello! I'm having problems with pdflush taking up insane amounts of load.
[05:34] <[Ex0r] > Anyone here have a list of tested and working hardware for ubuntu? I am trying to install ubuntu server and it's telling my it can't find network card drivers for my network card
[05:34] <Daver23x> sweeeet
[05:34] <Flannel> [Ex0r] : there's hardware compat list on the wiki
[05:34] <johnny_> i installed dapper but when it boots up it just sits there
[05:34] <Flannel> [Ex0r] : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:34] <[Ex0r] > thank you a bunch
[05:34] <johnny_> it says uncompressing linux... ok, booting the kernel
[05:34] <johnny_> and does nothing
[05:35] <Flannel> [Ex0r] : I can't imagine it's exhaustive, but it's a start
[05:35] <johnny_> can anyone help with this?
[05:35] <[Ex0r] > Flannel- doh, it says there is only one belkin
[05:35] <Flannel> [Ex0r] : really, ubuntu shouldn't have too different compatability with the whole of linux (per kernel versions)
[05:35] <wastrel> palm sync seems to be broken in dapper
[05:36] <[Ex0r] > I know the card is good, it's next to brand new
[05:36] <Flannel> [Ex0r] : so, google might find better ones.  You can find little niche sites that specialize in one hardware item (network cards, for instance)
[05:36] <[Ex0r] > at first it said it didnt find any, than I plugged in the nic cable and it found it but said it had no drivers, but I could load them from floppy
[05:36] <Flannel> [Ex0r] : just google 'linux [card model]
[05:36] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:my bad, took a look at my notes and saw that i just had permission errors, took the easy route and reformatted to ext3(have had no probs and it works great on all my OS's)(NOOB mistake:-p)
[05:36] <Crazy6> hey guys, I just added a new HD to my system, which shows up as sdb ; I try to mount the partition on it, /dev/sdb1 , but it says it is already mounted or busy ..... when I do "mount
[05:36] <Crazy6> " is it not listed there
[05:36] <zzy> ok i have a problem when i click on my computer i can see my second hard drive buy i cant click on it but when i click home folder media folder the two hard drives are there how do i move them to where my computer is
[05:37] <dr_willis> crazy6 try fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[05:37] <FusionXN1> So what should i do everyone FAT32 or ext3 MUST WORK with XP/VISTA and ubuntu (read and write safely)
[05:37] <[Ex0r] > says to use the realtek drivers
[05:37] <Flannel> FusionXN1: how many times have we told you?  FAT32 works on Linux and Windows
[05:37] <dr_willis> No idea on vista - but ext3 can work with XP. with the right tool.
[05:37] <Flannel> FusionXN1: ext3 doesnt
[05:37] <FusionXN1> I got an X-FI so im using onboard till drivers out
[05:37] <FusionXN1> Well jackin said ext3
[05:38] <Flannel> FusionXN1: windows drivers for ext3 are worse than linux drivers for NTFS
[05:38] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:not sure, kno that FAT32 and ext3 work on XP and ubuntu, i havent delved into Vista yet
[05:38] <dr_willis> Best bet - set up a samba file server. :) and be done with it.!
[05:38] <Ksilebo> pdflush taking up insane amounts of load, anyone see this ever?
[05:38] <Crazy6> dr_willis: ok... the partition is listed there
[05:38] <zzy> ok i have a problem when i click on my computer i can see my second hard drive but i cant click on it but when i click home folder media folder the two hard drives are there how do i move them to where my computer is
[05:39] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:i only use my ext3 drive for music on both and i have no probs(though i had to install an ext3 driver on XP)
[05:39] <FusionXN1> Oh, mines for storage
[05:39] <[Ex0r] > Flannel- http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=329&sort=8&cat=128&page=1
[05:39] <Gog123> man
[05:39] <Gog123> new computers are cheap
[05:39] <Flannel> zzy: the problem is you never really browse harddrives on their own, they get mounted places, and you browse them from there.
[05:39] <[Ex0r] > that site says that the realtek drivers work. Aren't the realtek drivers already installed ?
[05:39] <FusionXN1> music etc ;) so should i do ext3?
[05:39] <khoda`> in windows, how do i find what DNS servers im using
[05:39] <Gog123> a new dell with lcd monitor is only $499 for a decent system
[05:39] <^majik^> what packages should I install to get gcc, make, etc going?
[05:39] <Ksilebo> Its becoming a huge problem as I can't use Ubuntu as a fileserver if pdflush running on my array makes the array unuseable.
[05:39] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:then i would def us ext3
[05:40] <Krank> how is ext3 compared to ntfs, presuming you could choose one of the other?
[05:40] <[Ex0r] > ^majik^- build-essential
[05:40] <FusionXN1> flan - you agree?
[05:40] <Flannel> FusionXN1: No.  ext3 will NOT WORK with windows.
[05:40] <FusionXN1> Jackin says you need driver ?!?
[05:40] <Crazy6> dr_willis: its listed there, /dev/sdb1  ; anything special I should be looking for?
[05:40] <warlock> dr_willis, Is there an another way to extract a .tar.gz without overwriting the files?
[05:40] <^majik^> [Ex0r] : I think I'll write it down this time - thanks
[05:40] <Flannel> FusionXN1: and Ive said it three times, the windows ext3 driver is worse than the linux NTFS driver
[05:40] <dr_willis> http://www.fs-driver.org/  - allows windoes XP to read/write to EXT2 and EXT3 File systems...
[05:40] <dr_willis> and ive had NO problems withit.
[05:40] <FusionXN1> flannel fair enough
[05:40] <dr_willis> so to each their own.
[05:41] <FusionXN1> fat32 it is as long as its safe 100% for both windows and ubuntu to read and write
[05:41] <dr_willis> theres several ext3 'things' out for windows also.
[05:41] <Crazy6> dr_willis: when I do a mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/temp it says /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /mnt/temp busy
[05:41] <Flannel> dr_willis: you're lucky.  We also don't recommend automatix, yet an occassional person doesn't have problems with it ;)
[05:41] <FusionXN1> so gpartion can i use?
[05:41] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:be sure to watch your permissions if you do FAT32
[05:41] <Flannel> FusionXN1: yep, Gparted can even partition ntfs
[05:41] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:thats where i got messed up
[05:42] <zzy> ok i have two pictures on my desktop but when i go to copy them but i cant paste them on my hd cause the paste button i cant click on it
[05:42] <zzy> the second hd is mounted but i cant browse them
[05:42] <Krank> I've still not installed dapper yet, got a xp/vista dual boot going and I don't want to wreak in installs with vista's new boot loader
[05:42] <Flannel> FusionXN1: however, keep your eye out, NTFS on linux is really really close to stability (theres even a rumor it might be in edgy).  So, you'll be able to switch back to a FS with permissions and stuff sooner or later
[05:43] <FusionXN1> to a FS?
[05:43] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:if you still want to try ext3 later, this is the link for the ext3 on XP: http://www.fs-driver.org/download/Ext2IFS_1_10b.exe
[05:43] <FusionXN1> ty
[05:43] <Flannel> FusionXN1: to NTFS, which has permissions.
[05:43] <FusionXN1> Well its only for storage
[05:43] <notregistered> hey i installed ubuntu at my local computer store and when i got home the hard drive was fried..... had it updated fully ready to use.... sucks... at least it was only a 20 gig
[05:43] <notregistered> drive
[05:44] <notregistered> possibly the ride home screw the drive or what?
[05:44] <zzy> ok i have two pictures on my desktop but when i go to copy them but i cant paste them on my hd cause the paste button i cant click on it
[05:44] <dr_willis> notregistered,  bumps and so forth can be bad.. and it was how old> :P    or it may have a loose cable.. check them yet?
[05:44] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:do you ever plan to add music while in Ubuntu?
[05:44] <dr_willis> zzy,  try the shell/terminal then.
[05:44] <FusionXN1> flan whats this "edgy"
[05:45] <FusionXN1> jackin - yes its my ONLY Os now
[05:45] <eyequeue> !edgy
[05:45] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[05:45] <FusionXN1> i just formatted
[05:45] <zzy> dr_wills why cant i copy them thaazt way
[05:45] <Crazy6> dr_willis: ?
[05:45] <Krank> I had and old Mac G3 MT go bad just moving it up two stories from the basement to upstairs
[05:45] <notregistered> yeah... tried that... tried to boot about 4 times... the keyboard went bad also... guess it was just bad luck
[05:45] <dr_willis> zzy,  no clue.
[05:45] <zzy> how do i copy them throw terminal
[05:45] <khoda`> Hey - something's wrong with my internet. hostname goes slow, but when i go to IP it goes fast. How do I fix it? I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the dns servers are right
[05:45] <FusionXN1> flan - i hope it is in edgy whens it due?
[05:45] <Crazy6> Anyone have any idea why I cannot mount /dev/sdb1 ? it says it is already mounted (doesnt look like it is, though) , or my mountpoint is busy
[05:45] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:ok, what did you just format to?
[05:45] <FusionXN1> i havent yet im waiting
[05:45] <dr_willis> zzy,  could be somthing is confused in gnome. use the cp and ls command and see if the files are really there.
[05:45] <notregistered> ill try it again tomorrow on another drive.... im having to use windows right now :(
[05:45] <jackinthebox6386> o ok
[05:46] <dr_willis> Crazy6,  Huh??
[05:46] <FusionXN1> still not sure
[05:46] <zzy> the files are only on my desktop
[05:46] <Crazy6> dr_willis: sorry to bug you, I thought you might know whats up when you started to help me there
[05:46] <zzy> how do i copy and paste them t hrough the prompt
[05:46] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:gimme a sec, im lookin sumthin up
[05:46] <dr_willis> zzy,  that is the /home/username/desktop directory     cd   there and see what files are there.. use cp to copy them wherver ya want.

[05:52] <bimberi> lasthunter914: please stop pasting, and Ubuntu doesn't have a package called ntfs-3g-nautilus-tools

[05:53] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:im sayin ext3
[05:53] <[Ex0r] > Anyone here know where you can buy older motherboards, that support maybe 800mhz ?
[05:53] <Renan_s2> [Ex0r] , eBay?
[05:53] <[Ex0r] > except for ebay
[05:53] <Renan_s2> a local computer store should have one
[05:54] <acad> use ext3, it has a driver for microsoft windows if you need it and will work with any linux distribution. not to mention it is a journeling file system which basically means you won't have to 'scandisk' it
[05:54] <FusionXN1> SO what do i run? sudo g...
[05:54] <[Ex0r] > Looking to get a used one preferably
[05:54] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:to reformat?
[05:54] <Renan_s2> Well, I buy used hardware in local computer stores.
[05:54] <FusionXN1> jackin ya
[05:54] <FusionXN1> acad.. "scan disk"
[05:54] <acad> FusionXN1 use http://www.fs-driver.org/ in ms windows and format the externel drive ext3

[05:54] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:55] <acad> FusionXN1 if your on ubuntu you can use the program called gparted
[05:55] <FusionXN1> k ty
[05:55] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:use gparted, that should be the best route
[05:55] <khoda`> Hey - something's wrong with my internet. hostname goes slow, but when i go to IP it goes fast. How do I fix it? I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the dns servers are right
[05:55] <FusionXN1> Ok how do i find out WHich is which
[05:55] <lasthunter914> Anyone know how to mount NTFS DRIVES AS READABLE AND WRITEABLE? PM ME PLZ
[05:56] <acad> FusionXN1 ohh,  can't you tell by the file size of the partiton?
[05:56] <Whyvas> Renan_s2, ????
[05:56] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:once you open gparted, it will give u a visual list of drives
[05:56] <FusionXN1> last im in the same spot you cant SAFELY
[05:56] <valehru> !ntfs
[05:56] <NewUbuntuUser> can you guys help me with getting my ati graphics card to display multiple monitors?
[05:56] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[05:56] <bimberi> !fuse
[05:56] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[05:56] <Frankenstein> khoda`: i have the same problem, use different name servers
[05:56] <dr_willis> lasthunter914,  some googling will show ya some answeres. you really dont want to write to a ntfs partition at this time.
[05:56] <bimberi> lasthunter914: ^^^^^
[05:56] <khoda`> Frankenstein: those name servers work on windows, though
[05:56] <khoda`> Frankenstein: and i have dhcp enabled, with those dns servers
[05:56] <valehru> wasnt there a new NTFS driver released this month...
[05:56] <valehru> ?
[05:57] <valehru> for linux?
[05:57] <lasthunter914> i've used google and the FORUMS
[05:57] <lasthunter914> none of them help
[05:57] <jackinthebox6386> FusionXN1:what do you mean you cant safely?
[05:57] <Frankenstein> khoda`: may be an off day for them... just try to use these: http://www.opennic.unrated.net/public_servers.html
[05:57] <lasthunter914> i thought this was ubuntu
[05:57] <FusionXN1> I cant tell which is which
[05:57] <khoda`> Frankenstein: it only happens on linux
[05:57] <jackinthebox6386> lemme check real quick
[05:57] <khoda`> Frankenstein: my windows machines run fine
[05:57] <FusionXN1> jackin you cant write to ntfs safely in ubuntu yet

[06:00] <linux2> Renan_s2, what is it called in gnome though
[06:00] <linux2> is it scim?
[06:00] <NewUbuntuUser> i have an ati graphics card that supports miltiple monitors but my second monitor only shows a clone of the primary monitor how can i get it to show an extention or second desktop?
[06:00] <eyequeue> Tennessee, http://docs.python.org/lib/module-datetime.html
[06:00] <Renan_s2> linux2, no, SCIM is for Japanese input
[06:00] <Renan_s2> I don't know about GNOME :/
[06:00] <valehru> FusionXN1, probably not....but I use ext3 so I don't care if they screw up...It will teach them to be using shoddy microsoft filesystems
[06:01] <linux2> Renan_s2, humm then what is the app running in gnome for volume control hotkeys
[06:01] <Renan_s2> linux2, I don't know! i do'nt use GNOME
[06:01] <Renan_s2> *don't
[06:02] <linux2> Renan_s2, you use kde?
[06:02] <Renan_s2> linux2, yes
[06:02] <wastrel> linux2:  it's part of the acpi subsystem, that catches the keycodes from the volume keys and calls some scripts iirc
[06:04] <linux2> Renan_s2, do your volume controls work and have a graphical display when you change the volume
[06:04] <prwlr> how can i update the pkg repositories of a non-connected ubuntu box? thanks
[06:04] <Renan_s2> linux2, yes
[06:04] <linux2> wastrel, ok, so how would i get a similar thing to work in kde
[06:04] <Renan_s2> linux2, go to the KDE control panel, access "Regional and accessibility" (I don't know the exact name, but it has the icon of 2 flags) and then configure it
[06:04] <FusionXN1> Ok Jackin....
[06:04] <FusionXN1> I formatted one (the right one :)) and its using 3GB?!?!
[06:04] <Renan_s2> select the model for your keyboard
[06:04] <Renan_s2> it works here, even though my keyboard is not on the list (I use a cheap wireless keyboard) and I selected a random modem :D
[06:05] <carthik> Can someone help me find out why Avahi wont work over a wirelessly connected computer?
[06:05] <NewUbuntuUser> i have an ati graphics card that supports miltiple monitors but my second monitor only shows a clone of the primary monitor how can i get it to show an extention or second desktop?
[06:05] <Renan_s2> *model , not modem
[06:05] <doughboy> I am curious about something. I downloaded and installed realbasic on my pc then tried to create a desktop launcher. Well the launcher does not work. The launcher throws an error stating that there is no such directory. Whats up with that?
[06:05] <FusionXN1> How do i rename a harddrive?!?!
[06:06] <carthik> NewUbuntuUser, the keyword is "xinerama" - search for how to setup xorg in the xinerama mode right now you seem to have a dual head setup
[06:06] <lasthunter914> THANKS EVERYONE IT WORKED sorry about my attitude i was getting frustrated
[06:06] <lasthunter914> =]
[06:06] <carthik> NewUbuntuUser, actaully, now you dont have even dual head.
[06:06] <FusionXN1> How do I mount a harddrive?!
[06:06] <NewUbuntuUser> thank you
[06:07] <carthik> FunnyLookinHat, what sort of hard drive is it, what is the type?
[06:07] <eyequeue> you mount filesystems, see "man mount"
[06:07] <khoda`> Hey - something's wrong with my internet. hostname goes slow, but when i go to IP it goes fast. How do I fix it? I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the dns servers are right
[06:07] <linux2> ok now second thing
[06:07] <linux2> what kernel does ubuntu use?
[06:07] <bimberi> !mount
[06:07] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[06:07] <carthik> linux2, a linux kernel
[06:07] <linux2> the number?
[06:07] <linux2> cause i have debian
[06:07] <Renan_s2> kernel 2.6.15
[06:07] <carthik> linux2, depends. you can find what you use using uname -a
[06:07] <Renan_s2> 2.6.15-26-686
[06:08] <linux2> im having a huge issue with acpi and the touchpad mouse
[06:08] <linux2> what happens is that the touchpad mouse starts moving all around and clicking on stuff randomly
[06:08] <linux2> and there is error output in dmesg
[06:08] <linux2> ubuntu does not do this for some reason
[06:08] <linux2> i find this very strange
[06:08] <KeithWeisshar> do you have the package list for the ubuntu dvd
[06:09] <khoda`> Hey - something's wrong with my internet. hostname goes slow, but when i go to IP it goes fast. How do I fix it? I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the dns servers are right
[06:10] <linux2> Renan_s2, i see no option for two flags?
[06:10] <linux2> or anything here that has to do with volume controls
[06:10] <chris86wm> is there a way to disable the menu scrolling in gnome?
[06:10] <FusionXN1> It wont enable my drive!!!
[06:10] <Renan_s2> linux2, is there an icon with the drawing of the 2 flags?
[06:10] <Renan_s2> I think it is named "regional and accessibility" (my KDE is in Portuguese so I can't really help)
[06:11] <FusionXN1> Can anyone help it wont enable my drive?!
[06:12] <Bung> I ran $ sudo apt-get update and got the following error, can someone help? http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/bcj71899.html

[06:13] <linux2> and nothing is in there with volume controls
[06:13] <Bung> mikim: what?

[06:13] <Renan_s2> not :/
[06:13] <mikim> Bung, ah nothing...

[06:13] <FusionXN1> I cant enable a harddrive can anyone help?

[06:19] <nevyn> wheels3572: a proprietary embbeded operating system
[06:19] <nevyn> wheels3572: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VxWorks
[06:19] <wheels3572> nevyn: when I try to ftp to my ip it's giving me that info
[06:19] <FusionXN1> I  got a problem, i formatted a drive now it says inaccessbale i click enable and it does nothing
[06:19] <wheels3572> nevyn, I already did wikipedia :)
[06:22] <nevyn> wheels3572: so you have a gateway running VXworks.. you and 100 million other people
[06:23] <FusionXN1> Noone/

[06:27] <Warbo> How do I put "Add/Remove" back on my menu? It isn't in Alacarte, and "Revert" doesn't seem to do it
[06:27] <chris86wm> anyone know how to make the multimedia keys work on an inspiron 6000? i have messed around with keyboard shortcuts but they dont seem to take affect.
[06:27] <Amaranth> Warbo: Did you uninstall it?
[06:27] <Warbo> !keyboard
[06:27] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts (Gnome) or "input actions" in Kcontrol (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[06:28] <prwlr> what file does "apt-get update" update?
[06:28] <Amaranth> Warbo: Or are you running as a non-sudo user?
[06:28] <Warbo> Amaranth: I don't think so, but I removed it from the menu ages ago
[06:28] <wastrel> Warbo:  add/remove is synaptic package manager
[06:28] <Warbo> wastrel: "Advanced" is
[06:28] <wastrel> what's add/remove then?  heh i never use menus
[06:28] <Warbo> prwlr: /var/lib/apt/lists I think
[06:28] <Amaranth> Warbo: oh, hrm
[06:29] <Warbo> wastrel: It's nice and easy to use
[06:29] <Warbo> wastrel: (Synaptic is fine, but I am writing a Wiki page and would prefer to advocate Add/Remove, but I need to see it to describe it's use)
[06:29] <wastrel> Warbo:  it seems to be gnome-app-install
[06:30] <Amaranth> Warbo: rm ~/.local/share/applications/gnome-app-install.desktop'
[06:30] <Amaranth> Warbo: no ' though
[06:30] <Warbo> wastrel: But it was a special menu entry, since it is not in the menu. I will just check that I haven't removed the program...
[06:30] <prwlr> Warbo, thanks
[06:31] <FusionXN1> I need help after formatting a drive linux wont enable it
[06:31] <FusionXN1> ubuntu*
[06:31] <sarra_> I need some help compiling wine
[06:32] <wheels3572> nevyn, Is it ok to remove vxworks?
[06:33] <nevyn> wheels3572: seeing as you're most likely currently routing packets through it I wouldn't advise removing it no
[06:33] <iamchris> Any idea why I get the error message Kernel Panic- Net syncing attempt to kill init?
[06:33] <Warbo> Oops, looks like I did remove it sorry :) (I remeber using it recently, but that must have been on someone else's system)
[06:33] <wheels3572> What I dont understand is how I got it and if my router has anything to do with it?>
[06:34] <wastrel> what's vxworks?
[06:34] <Senesence> I'm trying clean up my synaptic repositories, so I could get everything I need. Any recommendations?
[06:34] <nevyn> wheels3572: it's the OS in your router
[06:35] <chris86wm> hey Warbo, thanks for the help man
[06:35] <prwlr> Warbo, how do i update my repository list in a non-connected box? thanks
[06:35] <NewUbuntuUser> does anyone know how i can install flash player 9 on a 64bit system?
[06:36] <wheels3572> nevyn, Ok ty yes I just seen that.  It's already using port 21 so what do I do in this case?
[06:36] <Cynical> as far as I knew flash won't work on 64bit systems no
[06:36] <nevyn> wheels3572: what do you want to achieve?
[06:36] <Senesence> NewUbuntuUser: I don't think there is a way to install fp8 properly on linux, let alone 9
[06:36] <Warbo> prwlr: Hmm. Maybe by copy the list files across then NOT running apt-get update, or maybe by creating a local APT repository, although it is probably beyond me
[06:36] <justin_> does anyone have the problem where the easy ubuntu installation of the ati driver makes things worse?
[06:36] <Daver23x> I used pmount to mount a usb drive now i cant umount it?
[06:36] <Cynical> lol
[06:36] <Warbo> NewUbuntuUser: Should work with lib32
[06:37] <NewUbuntuUser> i dont have lib32
[06:37] <cerberus> Hey guys, I can't seem to be able to find the web root for apache anyone know where it is with the default synaptic install?
[06:37] <Warbo> NewUbuntuUser: Don't ask me though, since I don't use 54bit, but WINE should install and run, therefore Flash Player 9 should as well
[06:37] <wheels3572> nevyn, to be able to connect to the ftp server from my laptop or from outside of my network and if port 21 is used do i just change the port?
[06:37] <nevyn> Warbo: I didn't think it did because you need the mozilla/firefox/whatever to also be 32bit
[06:37] <[Ex0r] > cerberus- /var/www/html
[06:37] <Warbo> 64bit is apparentyl even better than 54 bit as well :)
[06:38] <NewUbuntuUser> well flash player 9 is a binary (.bin) from the flash website which comes up to with an error incorrect architecture
[06:38] <NewUbuntuUser> and wont run
[06:38] <nevyn> wheels3572: why does your gateway listen externally on port 21?
[06:38] <Lurkan> hi, i need change the editor for default, i have mc and need vi
[06:38] <Warbo> nevyn: It is usually possible to run 32bit apps on 64bit using lib32
[06:38] <nevyn> Lurkan: sudo update-alternatives --config default-editor
[06:38] <Warbo> NewUbuntuUser: This is a Linux version?
[06:38] <nevyn> Warbo: apps yes.
[06:38] <Senesence> What exactly does a "Backports" repository supply??
[06:38] <wheels3572> nevyn, I am not sure honestly
[06:38] <nevyn> Warbo: but flash player plugs in to the web browser and needs abi compatibility with it.
[06:38] <Warbo> nevyn: And Mozilla/FF aren't apps?
[06:38] <cerberus> [Ex0r] , that directory doesn't exist, in /var/www I have apache2-default and a link to php
[06:39] <nevyn> Warbo: they are.
[06:39] <NewUbuntuUser> yes
[06:39] <Warbo> nevyn: Exactly
[06:39] <NewUbuntuUser> it's the linux version
[06:39] <[Ex0r] > ah, you've got apache2 :\
[06:39] <nevyn> Warbo: I was stating an additional possible dependancy.. not saying it can't be done.
[06:39] <cerberus> I do
[06:39] <[Ex0r] > can't help you there than
[06:39] <Warbo> NewUbuntuUser: Wow, I need to get this then! Anyway, try and follow guides for Flash 7 if you can
[06:39] <cerberus> Cheers anyway, anyone else know?
[06:39] <Warbo> NewUbuntuUser: (since Flash 9 guides probably don't exist yet)
[06:40] <AllAround> How do i write Ubuntu to a CD in .iso form when it's not a .iso file?
[06:40] <Senesence> What exactly does the "Backports" repository supply in synaptic??
[06:40] <NewUbuntuUser> back ports :D
[06:41] <Warbo> Senesence: Backports takes cool stuff from the newer Ubuntu versions and makes them work on the supported ones (only security fixes are put into Ubuntu releases once they are out, so cool features aren't added unless you use backports)
[06:41] <Madpilot> AllAround, if it's not in ISO, something is wrong with whatever you downloaded. It should be a single giant ISO file
[06:41] <iamchris> does anyone have an  idea why I get the error message Kernel Panic- Net syncing attempt to kill init?
[06:42] <nevyn> iamchris: something bad happened
[06:42] <AllAround> Hmmm, I got it straight from the site
[06:42] <nevyn> actually I can get more specific
[06:42] <Senesence> Ok, so what would be the best way to set up repositories in synaptic so that I can have access to everything?
[06:42] <nevyn> something really bad happened
[06:42] <Warbo> AllAround: The only other files are hashes (to check if it is corrupted) and bittorrent files
[06:42] <FusionXN1> I just formatted a drive and it wont open it says: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
[06:42] <Madpilot> AllAround, what's the exact filename you downloaded?
[06:42] <iamchris> Any idea why its happening?
[06:43] <nevyn> iamchris: bad hardware would be my first gut feeling
[06:43] <AllAround> It's not just one file
[06:43] <nevyn> or a really dodgy driver
[06:43] <FusionXN1> * can anyone help
[06:43] <iamchris> What hardware would be your first guess?
[06:44] <Madpilot> AllAround, it should be
[06:44] <Warbo> Yay I have Add/Remove back :)
[06:44] <Warbo> AllAround: .bin and .cue maybe?
[06:44] <Madpilot> AllAround, you in the US?
[06:45] <FusionXN1> ANyone know why i get that error?
[06:45] <nevyn> iamchris: memory
[06:45] <AllAround> Yes
[06:45] <Warbo> FusionXN1: Were you giving it a type?
[06:45] <AllAround> There are 20 files in all
[06:45] <nevyn> iamchris: then motherboard then cpu disk controller.. but really I'm just stabbing in the dark you havn't given me enough info to work with
[06:45] <FusionXN1> Warbo i formatted and have tried EXT3 and FAT32 it wont open
[06:45] <sarra_> Still having problems compiling Wine for AMD64. =\
[06:45] <iamchris> Thats all I really have to work with
[06:46] <Madpilot> AllAround, you need one file, and it's massive: http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso
[06:46] <iamchris> I load the live CD, and then after a short while, that message comes up
[06:46] <Warbo> FusionXN1: Well "sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1" and "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" should work
[06:47] <AllAround> Ok, thx Madpilot
[06:47] <FusionXN1> WARBO Now i get no error message its "dead"
[06:47] <Lurkan> nevyn:  thanks
[06:47] <jesspher> does anybody know any app in linux that can open wpl files
[06:47] <jesspher> please help
[06:47] <jesspher> i need to open wpl files
[06:47] <Warbo> FusionXN1: mount doesn't say anything when it has worked
[06:47] <Lurkan> wpl?
[06:47] <jesspher> ye
[06:47] <jesspher> s
[06:47] <FusionXN1> no just vfat
[06:47] <Warbo> jesspher: What are they made in?
[06:47] <jesspher> its like a streaming wmv file
[06:47] <FusionXN1> and the date
[06:47] <Warbo> MPlayer maybe?
[06:48] <FusionXN1> its working now...
[06:48] <jesspher> but whenever i click mplayer nothing appears
[06:48] <FusionXN1> How do i rename it
[06:48] <jesspher> is it suppose to not appea
[06:48] <jesspher> r
[06:48] <Warbo> FusionXN1: I'm not about drive labels
[06:48] <FusionXN1> Warbo?
[06:48] <Warbo> jesspher: GMplayer shows a control panel as well as the video
[06:49] <jesspher> gmplayer?
[06:49] <Warbo> FusionXN1: Drives can have labels, which is their name. If you mean changing it from /mnt then just unmount it with sudo umount /mnt then mount it somewhere else
[06:49] <azrael0> Hey, does anyone know how to edit an individual partition of a drive image?
[06:49] <Warbo> jesspher: Comes with MPlayer
[06:49] <jesspher> nothing appears when i click mplayer
[06:50] <FusionXN1> Warbo its "weird" it says its a windows NTFS yet gparted says it FAT32
[06:50] <jesspher> is that suppose to happen?
[06:50] <FusionXN1> somethings wrong it wont mount again
[06:50] <Warbo> jesspher: MPlayer doesn't show a control panel, so if the file doesn't work MPlayer will just quit, therefore you willsee nothing. GMPlayer shows a control panel
[06:50] <jesspher> how can i laung gmplayer
[06:51] <Warbo> FusionXN1: partition types and their actual filesystems can often be different
[06:51] <jesspher> how can i launch gmplayer
[06:51] <Warbo> jesspher: Erm.. By typing gmplater?
[06:51] <Warbo> oops
[06:51] <FusionXN1> Warbo but it wont remount again now it says inaccessable
[06:51] <Warbo> gmplyer
[06:51] <Warbo> AA!
[06:51] <Warbo> You know what I mean :)
[06:51] <bimberi> lol
[06:51] <Warbo> FusionXN1: You used sudo umount?
[06:52] <jesspher> how can i launch gmplayer please help
[06:52] <FusionXN1> can i use "fdisk"
[06:52] <Warbo> jesspher: ^
[06:52] <jesspher> what do i do to launch gmplayer
[06:52] <Warbo> jesspher: Look up!
[06:52] <Warbo> !cli > jesspher
[06:52] <bimberi> jesspher: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal,   then type 'gmplayer' in there
[06:52] <carthik> jesspher, have a little patience, and read what others have to say in reply
[06:53] <pppoe_dude> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:53] <pppoe_dude> oops
[06:53] <pppoe_dude> sorry
[06:53] <Warbo> pppoe_dude: I think you were being offtopic then
[06:53] <jesspher> nothing appears when i type gmplayer
[06:54] <Warbo> jesspher: Is the terminal full of stuff?
[06:54] <carthik> jesspher, what happens, exactly?
[06:54] <pppoe_dude> k... so if i ping say... test.no-ip.org, and the ip changes, will the ping adapt to that change or does 'ping' stor the IP address once it resolves it/?
[06:54] <jesspher> it says some scripts
[06:54] <cerberus> I'm running apache2 and going to http://the-den/ brings up my index.html as it should but going to http://localhost/ brings up a page saying "It works", going to http://localhost/index.html works fine. Any ideas why?
[06:54] <jesspher> like:
[06:54] <jesspher> You will not be able to use your remote control.
[06:54] <jesspher> [skin]  file ( /usr/share/mplayer/Skin/default/skin ) not found.
[06:54] <jesspher> Skin not found (default).
[06:54] <carthik> jesspher, you dont have a mplayer skin installed properly.
[06:55] <Warbo> !info mplayer-skins
[06:55] <jesspher> how can i install it properly
[06:55] <ubotu> mplayer-skins: Skins for the Ubuntu mplayer Package. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 2-6 (dapper), package size 68 kB, installed size 204 kB
[06:55] <falconer> I have question about the live CD. I am a beginner. I was using the dictionary (accessories). Can you change the dictionary being used? (using the liveCD?)
[06:55] <carthik> jesspher, and dont spam this place, paste multiline output in a pastebing
[06:55] <A-0nE-Arm3d-K1d> hey I have a question

[06:56] <carthik> !tell jesspher about universe
[06:56] <jesspher> what do i type on the repository
[06:56] <Evil_Ed`> tell me
[06:56] <Rodya> when installing breezy it got to installing the extra packages and then gave the error check console 4 >>> error: 'cp =a "/cdrom/pool/main/u/ubuntu-artwork/ubuntu-artwork_0.2.27-1_all.deb" "/target/var/cache/archive-copier/desktop/ubuntu-artwork_0227-1_all.deb" failed with code 1
[06:56] <jesspher> to get mplayer
[06:56] <Rodya> can anyone help?
[06:56] <carthik> !universe
[06:56] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[06:56] <Warbo> jesspher: See that "!info" I just did? That tells you info about a pakcge, which you can install in Synaptic or something
[06:56] <falconer> doesn't seem to work bimberi thanks :)
[06:56] <carthik> jesspher, that was meant for you...
[06:57] <Ophiocus> does re installing GRUB after windows install affect fstab? my fstab is not mounting properlly the drives as i had them
[06:57] <Warbo> Ophiocus: Shouldn't do
[06:57] <jesspher> i know but what do i type on the repository to add mplayer
[06:57] <brodes18> I can't get my Veiwsonic vx2025Wm widescreen monitor to display the proper resolution of 1680X1050. The graphics card is set right as well as direct rendering ive entered the Horizontal and vertical refresh into the xorg file but it maxes out at 1280X1024
[06:57] <Warbo> jesspher: "on the repository"? Do you want the repository or the package?
[06:57] <bimberi> falconer: sry, i knew of its existence, not usage
[06:58] <Rodya> does anyone know what to do about the error message?
[06:58] <jesspher> the repository
[06:58] <anonymeeee> hi everyone
[06:58] <Warbo> !easysource > jesspher
[06:58] <jesspher> easysource?
[06:58] <Warbo> jesspher: That will easily add the right ones
[06:58] <carthik> brodes18, run $sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and when you get to the resolutions screen, choose the ones you want by highlightin them and pressing the space bar
[06:58] <Warbo> jesspher: You should have got a message
[06:58] <anonymeeee> anyone know of a easy cups reference to walk me through setting up my print server?
[06:58] <bimberi> Rodya: could be a bad cd?
[06:59] <falconer> I'm a liar.
[06:59] <Rodya> i dont think sos bimberi
[06:59] <sarra_> Okay, I'm reading this and completely lost now: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
[06:59] <Rodya> i have 5
[06:59] <carthik> anonymeeee, search the wiki for cups
[06:59] <Lost_it> I messed up everything.  I get to the login screen, it accepts my password and takes me back to the login screen.  Any ideas....
[06:59] <brodes18> thanks carthik, I did that too and it didnt help. Also the resolution is listed in xorg.conf
[06:59] <sarra_> I don't get the part under "Run configure, build and install with:"
[06:59] <Warbo> !compile
[06:59] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[06:59] <Lost_it> I was testing a script for making custom UbuntuCD's
[06:59] <Rodya> can i install the extra packages from the internet after i install the base system?
[06:59] <carthik> brodes, maybe you just need to go to system->prefs->screen res. and choose the right res?
[07:00] <Proximity> Hello
[07:00] <Rodya> and get ubuntu-desktop?
[07:00] <Warbo> Rodya: yep
[07:00] <sarra_> Thanks, Warbo, but htat's not any hel[
[07:00] <sarra_> help
[07:00] <Warbo> sarra_: Oh, OK
[07:00] <brodes18> carthik did that too
[07:00] <Rodya> is there a help file for this Warbo
[07:00] <sarra_> I'm trying ot install Wine on Amd64, and there's nothing but sourse
[07:00] <Warbo> Rodya: Installing stuff?  In repository main, is important. Version 0.4.0-5ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 1254 kB, installed size 7144 kB
[07:00] <sarra_> Lost_it: Yes, it did, thanks. :)
[07:01] <brodes18> carthik thanks anyway
[07:01] <Lost_it> Np
[07:01] <Warbo> "sudo aptitude"
[07:01] <Proximity> Can someone help me out with installing some drivers?... sort of a n00b heh :\
[07:01] <Rodya> i can use that without xserver running?
[07:01] <Lost_it> JAck here
[07:01] <Lost_it> glad it worked
[07:01] <Warbo> Rodya: Yup, it's console based
[07:01] <marcus__> Proximity: which drivers?
[07:01] <Lost_it> testing latest script I lost the abitlity to login..
[07:01] <Proximity> im trying to install some nvidia drivers
[07:01] <Rodya> so what do i do
[07:01] <marcus__> !nvidia
[07:01] <Proximity> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_amd64_1.0-0310.html
[07:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:01] <Rodya> just sudo aptitude and it will do it for me?
[07:02] <Warbo> Rodya: just to let you know, "u" will update lists, / will search, + will mark for installation and "g" will "go"
[07:02] <damnhil> have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157560 to compile a kernel?
[07:02] <Proximity> tried following that but do not understand the process
[07:02] <Lost_it> will work on it tomorrow
[07:02] <Warbo> Rodya: Hopefully, if your connection is up
[07:02] <marcus__> Proximity: well i cant help more than that sorry
[07:02] <Rodya> is this like installing debians netiso?
[07:02] <Proximity> Can you tell me well guide me through it
[07:03] <Warbo> Rodya: Aptitude is a Debian app, but I haven't used the NetISO (I connect with an eagle-usb modem which is not supported)
[07:03] <sarra_> Crap
[07:03] <sarra_> My desktop is doing that retarded thing where there's no video again
[07:04] <bimberi> Rodya: base (or server) install, get internet connection going, 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list', comment out cdrom line and uncomment the dapper/main lines, save&exit, 'sudo aptitude update', 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop'
[07:04] <eternalswd> I'm using xmms and the pieces ie main window, equalizer and playlist are not sticking together as one window.  Anyone know how to fix this?
[07:04] <crafteh> if i made a directory group writable and i am in the group that owns the directory, i should be able to create files in it right?
[07:04] <eyequeue> crafteh, correct
[07:04] <carthik> crafteh, writable by who?
[07:04] <bimberi> crafteh: if it is read and execute as well yes
[07:04] <Rodya> alright
[07:04] <Rodya> i'll try this
[07:05] <crafteh> it has permissions 2775, it is owned by root:data-user, i am in data-user but i can't create files in it
[07:05] <damnhil> can gcc 4.0.3 build the kernel?
[07:05] <carthik> crafteh, are you in data-user -- did you just add yourself?
[07:05] <sarra_> I HATE SLI! >_<
[07:05] <crafteh> i used webmin and it says i'm in it. how can i verify on the command line?
[07:05] <Warbo> damnhil: I would think so. Make sure you build any external drivers with the same version though
[07:06] <carthik> crafteh, just type "groups"
[07:06] <crafteh> ah, it doesn't think i'm in it
[07:06] <crafteh> maybe i just need to restart the shell
[07:06] <linuxboy> why is the alpha of edgy called knot 1 ?
[07:06] <carthik> crafteh, do "newgrp data-user"
[07:06] <Rodya> what all do i install to get ubuntu-desktop working?
[07:06] <Warbo> linuxboy: "A knot of Efts"
[07:06] <crafteh> the group is already created, i guess i'm just not in it
[07:07] <carthik> crafteh, then you dont need to restart.
[07:07] <carthik> crafteh, read man newgrp :)
[07:07] <crafteh> alright
[07:07] <Warbo> Rodya: installing ubuntu-desktop from a basic system should be enough
[07:07] <Madpilot> linuxboy, I guess a group of efts is called a knot. It's amazing, what free software can teach you. ;)
[07:07] <marcus__> hehehe
[07:08] <marcus__> it is amazing
[07:08] <angom_h> hi, does somebody knows wich package to get the header files (/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build) for dapper ?
[07:08] <FusionXN1> HI, how do i make ubuntu mount a drive on start up?
[07:08] <Warbo> Madpilot: I couldn't even touch type before using terminals... Wait, is that a bad thing?
[07:08] <marcus__> Madpilot: can even teach you more than you want to know about people too.
[07:08] <linuxboy> Madpilot: can you back that up with a url ?
[07:08] <crafteh> carthik: how can I do the equivalent of 'newgrp data-user' for my gnome session?
[07:08] <Warbo> linux-headers-`uname -r`
[07:08] <carthik> angom_h, linux-headers-686 (or 386 or whatever your kernel is)
[07:08] <angom_h> thx carthik
[07:08] <carthik> crafteh, I suppose just doing that would do it
[07:08] <moshez> I'm using Dapper. apt-cache search shows "xen-tools", which recommends "xen" but "xen" isn't available. perhaps I have a screwed up sources.list, but if so, I'm not sure what the screw-up is.
[07:08] <FusionXN1> !mount
[07:08] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[07:09] <bimberi> moshez: put your sources.list on a pastebin
[07:09] <crafteh> hm, ok
[07:09] <crafteh> thanks
[07:09] <Warbo> carthik: I keep clear of those, since my kernel uses custom drivers which break if a meta-package upgrades itself for me
[07:09] <moshez> bimberi: thanks, just a sec
[07:09] <FusionXN1> ANyone know how to make ubuntu mount a drive on start up?
[07:09] <Warbo> !fstab
[07:09] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[07:09] <bluefoxicy> edit /etc/fstab
[07:09] <carthik> Warbo, does that make it the wrong answer to the question that was asked ? :)
[07:09] <Kr0ntab> sup people
[07:09] <FusionXN1> k ty blue
[07:10] <Warbo> carthik: Well, my way doesn't break customised systems but still gets the job done :)
[07:10] <FusionXN1> blue - how do i edit it in terminal
[07:10] <Warbo> sudo nano /etc/fstab
[07:10] <FusionXN1> ty
[07:11] <moshez> rar, the pastebin be slow today :(
[07:11] <Madpilot> linux2, actually, no, I just had a quick google and I can't cite a source ;)
[07:11] <FusionXN1> Warbo how do i save it?
[07:11] <FusionXN1> Write out?
[07:12] <anonymeeee> how do I know if samba is up and working on my system/
[07:12] <anonymeeee> ?
[07:12] <moshez> my apt sources.list is here: http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/gt7Fzc92.html
[07:13] <moshez> (Regarding my question about how come "xen-tools" is available and recommends "xen", which is not)
[07:13] <moshez> I updated a few minutes ago, so I doubt it's an update problem
[07:13] <highphilosopher> hello all
[07:13] <terrapenn> this is the strangest thing.  i have my fonts set up nice and proper for this screen, all the menus of most apps look good except for Firefox.    Any ideas?
[07:13] <terrapenn> back in the day, I would have edited Xresources or somethign
[07:13] <moshez> you'll notice "multiverse" is commented out, by I tried adding multiverse and it did not have any effect
[07:13] <linux2> ok, anyone know what version of the synaptics touchpad ubuntu uses?
[07:14] <linux2> the module version
[07:14] <linux2> thanks in advance
[07:14] <terrapenn> I'm not really sure how Firefox chooses the fonts for its menus and toolbars
[07:14] <highphilosopher> terrapenn: goto about:config in firefox to change your fonts
[07:14] <terrapenn> linux, look on the packages website and see
[07:14] <terrapenn> high: i looked at that earlier...wasn't sure which controlled the menus and toolbars tho
[07:15] <highphilosopher> hang on...
[07:16] <FusionXN1> Oh crap, my 2nd hdd says i dont have permission to delete anything how do i change permissions
[07:16] <highphilosopher> terrapenn: ok, if you type font in the little search box on about:config theres a font.default.<your language> there
[07:16] <highphilosopher> Change that to one you have installed
[07:16] <terrapenn> alrighty
[07:17] <highphilosopher> terrapenn: in theory that should do it. (theory that is)
[07:17] <terrapenn> does that want the traditional X11 font string?  ie -0--Arial--3-10 yada yada?
[07:17] <sarra_> http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit - The stuff in the very bottom box: What do I do with it in the command line?
[07:17] <highphilosopher> no, it looks like just the name
[07:17] <highphilosopher> there is a default size further down the list for each language
[07:17] <terrapenn> oh great, there's no "en" there :)
[07:17] <highphilosopher> jeez
[07:18] <carthik> I need a sysadmin to help me with a server, not for free, of course, so how can I find one - I'd prefer someone who contributes to Ubuntu.
[07:18] <Lynoure> carthik: if physically, where?
[07:19] <carthik> Lynoure, not physically, dude :) the server is i-dont-know-in-which-datacenter
[07:19] <terrapenn> yeah, i don't remember having this problem on other Ubuntu installs...but this laptop is my first to have WSXGA+ (1680x1080) :)
[07:19] <valehru> carthik, what do you need done to it?
[07:20] <highphilosopher> terrapenn: holy crap, I cannot even find an extension for it.
[07:20] <carthik> valehru, need to harden it, and migrate some user accounts etc -- set it all up right, nameservers, etc etc
[07:20] <terrapenn> highphilosopher: hmmm, it has to be getting it from the X11/Xfce config somewhere
[07:20] <terrapenn> just not sure...it seems to ignore Xfce's application font preferences
[07:20] <Lynoure> carthik: sounds ok
[07:21] <valehru> I'd do it but im mad busy.....leaving for Ireland and then China in 5 hours
[07:21] <highphilosopher> terrapenn: is any other window manager installed?
[07:21] <terrapenn> highphilosopher: could be...not that i'm running, though
[07:21] <highphilosopher> terrapenn: open firefox in gnome, or kde and see if the font problem was the same
[07:21] <FusionXN1> How do i edit a drives permissions?
[07:21] <terrapenn> highphilosopher: strange thing is that Xfce's settings will affect the text in the browser's actual rendering of the page
[07:21] <Lynoure> carthik: but I'd rather talk business and prices in /msg than on a support channel.
[07:22] <terrapenn> but not on the menus
[07:23] <highphilosopher> terrapenn: ok, the menu's are fine, but the page fonts are messed up?
[07:23] <terrapenn> for the hell of it, im going to reinstall firefox
[07:23] <highphilosopher> wait
[07:23] <terrapenn> nope, the page fonts are great
[07:23] <terrapenn> it's firefox's menus, toolbars, that are messed up
[07:23] <terrapenn> i should post a screenshot :)
[07:23] <highphilosopher> ok, just making sure :)
[07:23] <highphilosopher> try a re-install
[07:23] <terrapenn> yup trying now
[07:23] <peabody> I'm currently running Fedora Core 4 with LVM.  I've been curious about Ubuntu for a while now however.  Will there be much trouble installing Ubuntu on the partition layout I'm currently on?.  I have a basic LVM setup with two hard drives.  No raid to my knowledge, just concatenation.  I have a seperate root and /home.
[07:24] <booger> hey all
[07:24] <highphilosopher> peabody: LVM is supported, but I reccomend the install CD instead of the live CD for an LVM install
[07:24] <jorge__> can someone help me out, when i try ./configure, it says "./configure: command not found"
