[09:33] <crimsun> lori: which menu item, the distributor-logo?
[09:34] <lori> yes
[09:34] <Twinkle> Supaplex: i don't know... i didn't check
[09:34] <Alumin> life: ok, that means the plugin isn't installed into your user profile...which is expected, if you installed from a package
[09:34] <Twinkle> i'm using windows xp right now
[09:34] <Alumin> look for it in a system directory
[09:34] <Alumin> actually
[09:34] <Stormx2> Uhg
[09:34] <Alumin> what's the name of the plugin package again?
[09:34] <Stormx2> Any ideas where the default "human" theme icons are kept?
[09:35] <lori> /usr/share/icons/human
[09:35] <life> Alumin, mozilla-mplayer
[09:35] <Alumin> life: try "dpkg -L mozilla-mplayer"
[09:35] <Alumin> that lists the files in a package...should show you where it put the plugin
[09:35] <Supaplex> Twinkle: look around the net. see if you find someone else that's mentioned it.
[09:35] <nerdygirl_ellie> Storm X2: Go to a command line.
[09:35] <crimsun> lori: it should be straightforward - just change distributor-logo, then use gtk-update-icon-cache(1)
[09:35] <nerdygirl_ellie> Stormx2:  dpkg -l | grep theme
[09:36] <nerdygirl_ellie> Stormx2 find the theme you want
[09:36] <Alumin> nerdygirl_ellie: dpkg -l '*theme*'
[09:36] <Alumin> :)
[09:36] <crimsun> lori: make sure you read the man page for gtk-update-icon-cache, since you need to pass an absolute path to it
[09:36] <Luxurious> This is pretty frustrating.  How do you edit your xorg.conf to detect a different graphics card?  (It's detecting Vanta/Vanta LT but I have a RIVA TNT2 card.)
[09:36] <ompaul> Luxurious, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and work with that
[09:37] <nerdygirl_ellie> stormx2:  and then dpkg -L themenamehere   for the human theme, it would be dpkg -L human-theme  or human-icon-theme.
[09:37] <ompaul> Luxurious, cards may have different names and the same chip sets
[09:37] <aricz_> Hi, I can't mount my cd-rom .. "No medium found" .. what can I do?
[09:37] <ompaul> aricz_, you got two drives?
[09:37] <aricz_> ompaul : yup
[09:37] <crimsun> endersshadow: get rid of all snd*.ko, then recompile alsa-driver and install it, then depmod -e
[09:37] <feierfox> hello
[09:37] <ompaul> aricz_, put it in the other one
[09:37] <lori> crimsun: that doesnt work, even when i specify the path
[09:38] <feierfox> need a download-link for the newest feisty build (alternate CD)
[09:38] <life> Alumin, from all the files that showed up, which one do I to place on the userprofile folder?
[09:38] <feierfox> can someone help me?
[09:38] <Luxurious> ompaul: Thanks, I'm checking that out now.  The problem is that I can't use 3D graphics mode, which my card should enable.
[09:38] <life> +have
[09:38] <Alumin> life: none :)
[09:38] <milk_inc> bye everyone
[09:38] <colbert> what can be used in Ubuntu as equivalent of 360share or eMule ?
[09:38] <aricz_> ompaul : Hah.. it worked.. hehe, thanks:)
[09:39] <Alumin> life: do you see something like /usr/share/plugins/mozilla/libmplayersomethingorother.so ?
[09:39] <nerdygirl_ellie> 	colbert: amule
[09:39] <feierfox> need a download-link for the newest feisty build (alternate CD)
[09:39] <feierfox> can someone help me?
[09:39] <nerdygirl_ellie> colbert: apt-get install amule
[09:39] <macd> feierfox, cdimages.ubuntu.com
[09:39] <feierfox> thanks!
[09:40] <colbert> nerdygirl_ellie: thanks !
[09:40] <feierfox> what is recommented daily or daily live?
[09:40] <life> mh no :(. There are only /usr/share/locale/... and /usr/share/doc/...
[09:40] <ompaul> feierfox, daily
[09:40] <macd> the livecd is not the alternate cd
[09:40] <life> alumin ^
[09:40] <Alumin> life: can you pastebin the output?
[09:40] <crimsun> lori: which ones did you replace?
[09:40] <feierfox> ah, my misstake
[09:40] <endersshadow> crimsun: done...
[09:41] <crimsun> endersshadow: unload all the sound modules, then load snd-hda-intel
[09:41] <tulap> hi to all !
[09:41] <nerdygirl_ellie> HI! Tulap!
[09:41] <psst> is there some way to get the xdcmp thing in ubuntu to run the gnome stuff but not the background?
[09:41] <tulap> how to write the postinstall in a .deb
[09:41] <lori> crimsun: i replaced every distributor-logo.png and every start-here.png on my system...
[09:42] <psst> the background obscures my desktop
[09:42] <nerdygirl_ellie> tulap:  do you mean view the postinstall or create one?
[09:42] <tulap> no.. I mean edit a postinstall that is inside a .deb
[09:42] <macd> psst, just turn the background image to blank.
[09:42] <_Neil> Noone know how to add a shared xp printer to ubuntu? Cups doesnt find it
[09:42] <psst> macd - thanks will try that
[09:43] <maxandneve> I have an ext3 drive shared and I can access it from various machines within my <IP_ADDRESS> network. On my Linux laptop I can read & write to the ext3 share. But on the Windows laptop, I can't. I can only read? Any ideas?
[09:43] <EmxBA> who and how can regenerate https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/about-ubuntu/bs/ so it contains newly translated strings directly from Launchpad?
[09:43] <nerdygirl_ellie> Tulap:  Take a look at the 'Debian new package maintainers guide' .  It will help..
[09:43] <endersshadow> crimsun: will be back in a bit w/ an update...thanks much for the help to this point
[09:43] <velko> tulap: deb files are "ar" archives. so decompress, edit, compress
[09:43] <Alumin> tulap: "ar x file.deb" will unpack the deb, then you can unpack the control archive, edit the script, and repack the deb
[09:43] <crimsun> lori: which path did you pass to gtk-update-icon-cache?
[09:43] <life> Alumin, I'm getting troubles with pastebin.. may I copy it in a pm?
[09:43] <jasonmgeorge> hi, i looking for some help setting up dual head support with the nvidia driver (i have it running but the resolution for my primary monitor is stuck at 640x480)
[09:43] <lori> /usr/share/icons/hicolor
[09:43] <feierfox> ok, many thanks
[09:44] <lori> everyone online says its impossible
[09:44] <lori> so i guess it is
[09:44] <nerdygirl_ellie> tulap:  You can use ar to unpack the control file, edit it, and repack it.  the maintainers guide can help a lot.
[09:44] <Alumin> life: OK, but if you flood off don't blame me :P
[09:44] <crimsun> lori: it's not impossible if Ubuntu has done it.
[09:44] <life> heh, thx
[09:44] <lori> `i have literally done everything there is to do
[09:45] <crimsun> lori: try omitting "/hicolor" from that path
[09:45] <lori> and every single forum post says the same thing... no one has successfully accomplished this
[09:45] <Alumin> you fibbed to me
[09:45] <velko> lori: maybe it's cached and you need to restart X?
[09:45] <crimsun> lori: I seriously doubt it's impossible. Ubuntu, Fedora Core, Foresight, etc., all change it.
[09:46] <lori> i have already restarted x each time
[09:46] <Alumin> I see the plugin :P
[09:46] <maxandneve> I have an ext3 drive shared and I can access it from various machines within my <IP_ADDRESS> network. On my Linux laptop I can read & write to the ext3 share. But on the Windows laptop, I can't. I can only read? Any ideas?
[09:46] <lori> well, if it isnt impossible, i sure havent found a single person online or in any forum who has said otherwise
[09:47] <Madpilot> maxandneve, you've got one of the ext3 drivers for Windows installed on XP, I assume?
[09:47] <GyberGlitch2> is their a way to make sure that eth0 is always going to be the same card
[09:47] <maxandneve> Madpilot: an ext3 driver? Isn't that was Samba achieves though?
[09:47] <GyberGlitch2> i would like to an ipaddress to a specific mac address
[09:48] <Madpilot> maxandneve, ah, Samba - no idea, never had to use it - sorry.
[09:48] <Alumin> life: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/mplayerplug-in.so     <- that's the plugin
[09:48] <maxandneve> Madpilot: i thought there was only nfs and samaba - do you know different? Are there others?
[09:48] <dyrne> lori: im curious (and too lazy to scroll up) what was your original question?
[09:48] <Alumin> have you restarted ff since you installed the package?
[09:49] <brent_> is linux-image-server compatible with 386 machines?
[09:49] <m0dY> any one running a sattelite tuner on linux ?
[09:49] <life> Alumin, yes, I had it installed a long time ago
[09:49] <brent_> I've installed it on an old computer and it wont get past the "Starting up..." screen
[09:49] <velko> GyberGlitch2: take a look at  /etc/udev/persistent-net-generator.rules
[09:49] <lori> dyrne: i have tried every tutorial online but am unable to change the menu icon
[09:49] <Madpilot> maxandneve, there's an ext3 driver for XP, but it's just for an ext3 Hd or partition on the same machine, not networked like samba/etc can do
[09:49] <maxandneve> brent_: depends on the architecture of the image. Should be 386, 686 or K7. 386 is the generic one
[09:49] <Alumin> life: does it show up in about:plugins ?
[09:49] <dyrne> m0dY: legally or you mean pulling mpeg2 stream from dish network?
[09:49] <maxandneve> Madpilot: got ya. cheers
[09:49] <brent_> maxandneve: it's just called linux-image-server
[09:49] <Luxurious> When you install a program using Applications>Add/Remove, is there a way to refresh the menu layout to show fresh items without restarting?
[09:49] <m0dY> dyrne, nop.. legally
[09:50] <psst> XDCMP is not working - is there some way to start gnome in an already running X-server?
[09:50] <Mr_Giraffe> ello
[09:50] <dyrne> lori: on gnome-panel?
[09:50] <brent_> maxandneve: it doesn't say whehter it's compatible with 386 or not
[09:50] <Alumin> psst: "gnome-session"
[09:50] <lori> dyrne: yes
[09:50] <m0dY> i have a KWorld DVB-S 100 card which i don't know how to get it working
[09:50] <maxandneve> brent_: when you say 'it says', where are you looking? Is this from the packages website?
[09:50] <ror> this is *weird* since upgrading to feisty I have something in my panel that says "no network devices found" yet here I am on IRC :p
[09:51] <brent_> maxandneve: no just the name of the package.  the only server kernel available is linux-image-server, there is not linux-image-server-386, for example
[09:51] <tulap> thanks for the help ! It work ! It work pretty well !
[09:51] <dyrne> lori: i did that once to make ubuntu look like jds linux. i dont remember the image path /usr/share/... but it did work just mv'ing a new image to same path/name.png   in dapper anyway
[09:51] <life> Alumin, you mean help>about in firefox?
[09:51] <peeps> what is the best remoet desktop application for communication between two linux boxes?  Is there something that would be considered better than VNC?
[09:51] <Alumin> ok I have to apologize for laughing but
[09:51] <maxandneve> brent_: are you using package manager?
[09:51] <Alumin> "ror: I have no network yet here I am on IRC" ... "ror has quit IRC"
[09:51] <brent_> maxandneve: yes, apt-get
[09:51] <Alumin> it's simple humor but I'll take it
[09:52] <dyrne> lori: actually put my boss's head as the icon too. and sent that out as internal release
[09:52] <life> Alumin, it does not appear there
[09:52] <maxandneve> then it will be the right one for your kernel.
[09:52] <Alumin> life: no, I mean "about:plugins"
[09:52] <brent_> maxandneve: do apt-cache search | grep "linux-image-server"
[09:52] <Alumin> type that in the location ba
[09:52] <Alumin> r
[09:52] <life> alright
[09:52] <lori> dyrne: yeah, i have replaced every distrbutor-logo.png and every start-here.png in my system, refreshed the cache, restarted x, removed the menu and replaced it, killall gnome-panel.... and NOTHING changed
[09:52] <brent_> maxandneve: you'll see there are only 2 packages, and neither specify the intel architecture (as in 386, 586, 686, etc)
[09:52] <ubuntunewb> hello, has anyone ever installed sound blaster live on ubuntu 6.10
[09:52] <Mr_Giraffe> has anyone here installed the nvidia linux drivers?
[09:52] <maxandneve> brent_:  then it will be the right one for your kernel. Package Manager will download the appropriate files for your system as far as I know
[09:52] <Mr_Giraffe> i'm sure someone has...
[09:53] <erUSUL> !nvidia
[09:53] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:53] <lori> i have, Mr_Giraffe
[09:53] <Mr_Giraffe> erUSUL, thanks
[09:53] <crimsun> lori: hint: start by looking at debian/patches/02-fix-distributor-logo.patch in the source package of tango-icon-theme.
[09:53] <Mr_Giraffe> i'll give that a shot, and i guess i'll ask lori if i still can't do it
[09:53] <brent_> maxandneve: I'm on a 386 computer.  The linux-image-server is actually not compatible with this computer. it can't init the kernel after grub
[09:53] <life> Alumin, I don't see it there
[09:53] <dyrne> lori: im sorry dont remember path but all i did was pkill gnome-panel afterwards  so when you find it that should work
[09:54] <lori> crimsun: the funny thing is, i dont have tango icon theme
[09:54] <crimsun> lori: it doesn't matter.
[09:54] <lori> dyrne: TRIED THAT MANY TIMES
[09:54] <lori> NO GO
[09:54] <lori> OOPSsorry bout the caps
[09:54] <lori> my bad
[09:54] <ubuntunewb> does anyone know how to install sound blaster live 24
[09:54] <maxandneve> brent_: crickey - there's actually some 386's still kicking about!! lol...if you know it doesn't work what made you ask in the first place?
[09:54] <larry> is there a seperate chanel for Breezy users???
[09:54] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: just install it, and turn your computer back on. Why?
[09:54] <Alumin> life: ok, for whatever reason it didn't load the plugin
[09:55] <Alumin> odd
[09:55] <larry> Sound on breezy isn't working fo rme
[09:55] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: its not playing sound
[09:55] <erUSUL> larry: no, afaik
[09:55] <crimsun> larry: it's still supported here.
[09:55] <erUSUL> !sound > larry
[09:55] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: pastebin the info requested in the top portion of http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems, and tell me the url
[09:55] <brent_> maxandneve: the reason why I know it won't work is because I've been trying to get it work for the last 30 minutes!  I'm just trying to find out if Ubuntu just supports 686 computers only for servers or if there is a work around
[09:55] <larry> how do I configure my sound card??? when I go to sound prefs, "default sound card" comes up blank
[09:55] <tarzeau> what comes after feisty?
[09:55] <crimsun> larry: pastebin the info requested in the top portion of http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems, and tell me the url
[09:55] <endersshadow> crimsun: modprobe is hanging...doesn't remove or add anything...ideas why that would happen?
[09:56] <dyrne> brent_: i know 486 will work not sure about 386
[09:56] <life> Alumin, the /opt/firefox/plugins/libnullplugin.so is not enabled, might that be the reason? it says that in facilitates downloading new plugins
[09:56] <crimsun> look in dmesg
[09:56] <crimsun> ^ endersshadow
[09:56] <Alumin> life "apt-get --reinstall install mozilla-mplayer" ?
[09:56] <life> s/in/it
[09:56] <ror> urgh, upgrading to feisty was NOT nice, not only now do I have erroneous netowrk information but I lost font anti-aliasing
[09:56] <life> Alumin, oky
[09:56] <Alumin> /opt/firefox?
[09:56] <Alumin> where are you getting that?
[09:56] <dyrne> brent_: i was under the impression our generic kernel was actually 486 not 386. could be wrong though
[09:56] <erUSUL> ror: it is beta, problems are normal
[09:56] <brent_> dyrne: ok thanks, that helps.  I guess 386 isn't supported?  I guess I'll try chrooting into the install and getting a 386 kernel to install.
[09:57] <crimsun> ror: you didn't "lose" font AA. Just select it in System>Preferences>Font
[09:57] <maxandneve> brent_: i see. as far as i know the 386 is the most generic kernel to work for the widest scale of machines. the 686 is for 486's and above (Intels), 686-smp for dual core or duals, and K7 for AMD. If the 386 is not working with Ubuntu i would have thought it might be something else causing the problem.
[09:57] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: do i need to install the drivers, i have them, but it is a .exe file and it wont let me run it
[09:57] <life> Alumin, in about:plugins.. Default Plugin>File name:/opt/firefox/plugins/libnullplugin.so
[09:57] <ror> crimsun, here's the thing, I *have* selected it
[09:57] <crimsun> ror: then choose another setting and return to the original, intended one
[09:57] <Alumin> where did you get your firefox?
[09:57] <zero88> ubuntunewb what drivers?
[09:57] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: I'm awaiting your url.
[09:58] <life> Alumin, urm... I think from synaptic, or it might have been there from the beginning
[09:58] <life> I'll try reinstalling
[09:58] <endersshadow> crimsun: there are no entries in dmesg about it.
[09:58] <Alumin> ok...well that's weird that it's looking in /opt for stuff
[09:58] <ubuntunewb> zero88: for sound blaster live 24
[09:58] <roland_> 20 april ubuntu feisty out?
[09:58] <zero88> alumin what version of ubuntu you using
[09:59] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: im sorry i don't understand what url you want
[09:59] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: pastebin the info requested in the top portion of http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems, and tell me the url
[09:59] <Alumin> as a temporary solution you may want to create the directory /opt/firefox/plugins, then symlink libnullplugin.so and the mplayer plugin into there
[09:59] <brent_> maxandneve: well, that's sort of my point.  I have this vague kernel installed called "linux-image-server" which doesn't specify the architecture at all.  I'm about to install the linux-image-386 by chrooting into the install.  If it turns out that the 386 kernel works but yet the linux-image-server does *not* work, then that's a pretty nasty bug.  The downloads page should say that at least a 486 is required for the server install, o
[09:59] <brent_> r at least offer an alternative server kernel for 386 machines.
[09:59] <Alumin> I wouldn't recommend moving the actual files in there
[09:59] <Alumin> I'm using Kubuntu 6.06 and 6.10
[09:59] <crimsun> endersshadow: is insmod hanging on a fresh (cold) boot?
[09:59] <ror> hm, still not working, perhaps it's changed fonts altogether
[09:59] <velko> ror: you may have a look at this http://beranger.org/index.php?article=2787 . it says something about anti-aliasing and upstream support
[09:59] <cab10886> quick question.... i'm attempting to do an upgrade to feisty... ti sayd dbus couldn't be initiated... what does that mean?
[10:00] <macd> brent_, maybe we're thinking, servers are a given @ at least 80486
[10:00] <life> Alumin, ok, and this /opt/ directory, where should I create it?
[10:00] <zero88> ubuntunewb try this sire http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Creative_Sound_Blaster_Live_24-bit_external_(usb)
[10:00] <ror> thanks for that info
[10:00] <Alumin> in /
[10:00] <ror> perhaps that is to do with it
[10:00] <brent_> macd: hmm.  many people would disagree.  Samba runs just great on a 386, which makes for a perfect print server.  386 machines are useful to alot of people.
[10:00] <life> ok
[10:01] <macd> to me the perfect print server is not a pc ;)
[10:01] <Alumin> you probably already have /opt
[10:01] <Alumin> but it probably is empty
[10:01] <macd> brent_, you can always use the alternate install cd, and install just the base.
[10:01] <maxandneve> brent_: i don't think an actual 386 would make the most suitable server these days but i take your point. I regret I don't know enough to really help you out.
[10:01] <DARKGuy> Hey, I used a 100Mhz pc as server
[10:01] <endersshadow> crimsun: no...just rebooted and had no hangs...
[10:02] <Mr_Giraffe> !beryl
[10:02] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[10:02] <Alumin> 386s are fine as servers as long as you're not interested in all these flickery colored pixels that are all the rage with the kids these days
[10:02] <maxandneve> DARKGuy: fair point. I guess it depends on what it's serving :-0
[10:02] <cab10886> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 MD5Sum mismatch  <<< dudes?
[10:02] <crimsun> endersshadow: so, problem resolved?
[10:02] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Sound+Blaster+Live+7.1.&chip=SB0410%2C+P17&module=ca0106
[10:02] <macd> this should prolly be in #ubuntu-offtopic FYI.
[10:02] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: no, I'm waiting for your /pastebin/ url
[10:02] <brent_> maxandneve: hey that's cool!  thanks for the help though, I'll report back to this IRC channel if the 386 kernel works.  If it does i'll be filing a bug today.  We need some 386 love for people with a use for old machines. Am i supposed to just throw this thing away?  I don't think so!
[10:02] <larry> crimsun, http://pastebin.ca/435141
[10:03] <DARKGuy> maxandneve, well, it worked fine with 48Mb RAM and a homemade stripped-down XP with nLite... it worked for running MSN when I was rdesktop-ing it xD... slow as hell, but a fun experiment indeed
[10:03] <ferronica> Any one here using Epson Stylus Photo 915 Model Printer Please Help me. :(
[10:03] <endersshadow> crimsun: no...i thought you were talking about insmod on the actual boot process.  modprobe is still hanging and i just rebooted...it was hanging and so i rebooted (that was my sign off), and i rebooted to no avail
[10:03] <maxandneve> brent_: don't get me wrong - i gotta a couple of Pentium IIs running Ubuntu but they just number crunch all day and night.
[10:03] <ferronica> I need settings for it :(
[10:03] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: i dont know what that is, let me figure out what it is
[10:03] <ferronica> Any one here using Epson Stylus Photo 915 Model Printer Please Help me. :(
[10:04] <brunoUT> ok people......i got deluge working......i had it opened on another desktop...closed it and tried reopening it....GUESS what....now it wont open again
[10:04] <brent_> maxandneve: curious, which CD did you use to install ubuntu on those systems (if you used a CD at all)?
[10:04] <brunoUT> whats going on now?
[10:04] <sentinel> hello all..... unfortunately i'm having to reinstall winxp (multiboot) and i know it's gonna nuke my grub loader.... i'm wondering exactly what i need to backup so i can restore GRUB post-XP installation
[10:04] <maxandneve> brent_: The Dapper CD
[10:04] <brent_> maxandneve: the alternate or the server?
[10:04] <crimsun> endersshadow: which version of alsa-driver did you compile?
[10:04] <maxandneve> brent_: actually, Dapper on one, Breezy Badger on the other (it only has 128MB RAM)
[10:04] <life> Alumin, my /opt has all the firefox files so it seems
[10:04] <ferronica> Any one here using Epson Stylus Photo 915 Model Printer Please Help me. :(
[10:05] <ferronica> I need settings for it :(
[10:05] <Alumin> interesting

[10:05] <erUSUL> ferronica: linuxprinting.org
[10:05] <endersshadow> crimsun ^
[10:05] <Alumin> are they readable by user user account?
[10:05] <brent_> maxandneve: yikes man!
[10:05] <crimsun> endersshadow: that's way too old

[10:05] <Madpilot> ferronica, please don't repeat so often - and have you read the bot's !printer tell?
[10:05] <brunoUT> ok people......i got deluge working......i had it opened on another desktop...closed it and tried reopening it....GUESS what....now it wont open again
[10:05] <crimsun> endersshadow: you need to try 1.0.14rc3
[10:05] <Wicks> ubuntu offically on radio 4 \o/
[10:05] <endersshadow> crimsun: i knew i can't believe everything i read on the internet...thanks, and will do...give me a bit
[10:05] <ferronica> Madpilot: yes
[10:05] <sentinel> booyah!! thank you v. much
[10:06] <ferronica> Madpilot: what i need that is not there. :(
[10:06] <Madpilot> ferronica, and linuxprinting.org? Good info & tuts there
[10:06] <scope006> test
[10:06] <sentinel> dyrne: thanks first time to this channel my bad i need to read onjoins
[10:06] <ferronica> Madpilot: what i need that is not there. :(
[10:06] <life> Alumin, um, what does that mean? the are owned by root
[10:07] <maxandneve> I have an ext3 drive shared and I can access it from various machines within my <IP_ADDRESS> network. On my Linux laptop I can read & write to the ext3 share. But on the Windows laptop, I can't. I can only read? Any ideas?
[10:07] <ferronica> Madpilot: I need settings in Advanced option.
[10:07] <life> they*
[10:07] <Madpilot> ferronica, so, what do you need? Ask specific questions if you're looking for very specific help - "I need help with $printer" isn't much good...
[10:07] <Alumin> are they world-readable?  are the containing directories world-readable/executable?
[10:07] <crimsun> larry: cat /proc/asound/version
[10:07] <brunoUT> ok people......i got deluge working......i had it opened on another desktop...closed it and tried reopening it....GUESS what....now it wont open again
[10:08] <life> Alumin, what's world-readable?
[10:08] <life> :p
[10:08] <larry> crimsun, no such file...
[10:08] <Alumin> oh boy
[10:08] <ferronica> Madpilot: there are more then 10 options in printer- Properties-advanced TAB
[10:08] <crimsun> larry: then the sound driver isn't loaded.
[10:08] <frederific> how can I find out specs about my PC (total RAM, HDD size/make/model, CPU make/model etc) ?
[10:08] <velko> maxandneve: did it occured to you that your problem is _not_ with linux? why did you repeat your question over and over here?
[10:08] <ferronica> Madpilot: Some are Disable and some are enable
[10:08] <Alumin> ok, before this gets too far down the rabbit-hole
[10:08] <larry> ok.. how do I load it?
[10:08] <brunoUT> ok people......i got deluge working......i had it opened on another desktop...closed it and tried reopening it....GUESS what....now it wont open again
[10:08] <brunoUT> ok people......i got deluge working......i had it opened on another desktop...closed it and tried reopening it....GUESS what....now it wont open again
[10:08] <sentinel> frederific: try 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' that'll give you processor info
[10:09] <crimsun> larry: add `lspci -v` to your pastebin
[10:09] <Alumin> brunoUT: news flash: nobody in here is obligated to answer your question
[10:09] <ferronica> Madpilot: Like yellow enable, GCR transition -enable
[10:09] <Madpilot> ubotu, repeat | brunoUT
[10:09] <ubotu> brunoUT: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:09] <ferronica> Madpilot: like that many more
[10:09] <ferronica> Madpilot: some are disable
[10:09] <frederific> sentinel: cheers
[10:09] <Madpilot> ferronica, I have no idea, never owned an Epson printer. Have you googled for extra help with the thing?
[10:09] <Alumin> life: are you sure your firefox came from the Ubuntu repositories?
[10:09] <ferronica> Madpilot: nope :(
[10:09] <life> Alumin, not sure at all
[10:10] <tedivm> Hey, I was hoping someone can give me some help on something- I have an ubuntu server set up at a data center (no physical access or gui) and need to change the domain on the server. How would i go about doing that?
[10:10] <Alumin> life: what do you get for "apt-get -s install firefox"?
[10:10] <maxandneve> velko: because people leave and people join. I've left it about 15 minutes since asking last, and helped a few people in the meantime. I don't think asking again is causing any harm. And yes, it might well be Windows, but it might be something to do with how I have setup the share - thus the question
[10:10] <Alumin> does it simulate installing something, or does it say it's already the newest version?
[10:10] <erUSUL> tedivm: man hostname
[10:10] <lockmist> My server is running Feisty beta, because I'm a glutton for punishment. :)  I want it running tinydns (djbdns), but it's not playing nice.  I had to add an event.d script to get daemontools running right, but that's OK now.  Trouble is, although tinydns seems to be running, under daemontools/supervise, and is even listening and logging inbound requests as they come, it isn't actually *responding* to them.  (No, no firewall.)  Any ideas?
[10:10] <larry> crimsun, http://pastebin.ca/435152
[10:11] <noway-> Where can I find the md5 check sums for Edgy?
[10:11] <life> Alumin, already the newest version 0 installed. 0 all
[10:11] <velko> maxandneve: i don't mind the repeating. but the question is irrelevant on this forum. the linux side works
[10:11] <Alumin> bah
[10:11] <mdma> halo what file should i modify to make internet connection up each time i start ubuntu ?
[10:11] <Alumin> ok...quit firefox and run it again, but this time run it from the command line
[10:11] <Alumin> "mozilla &"
[10:11] <Alumin> er scratch that
[10:11] <Alumin> "firefox &"
[10:11] <tedivm> erUSUL, that changes the hostname but not the domain name, and the couple of things i've done to try to change the domain name (modifying /etc/hosts for instance) haven't worked
[10:11] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: im sorry i have no idea what you mean by that, could you explain how i find my pastebin url
[10:12] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: have you used pastebin yet?
[10:12] <adam__> hi
[10:12] <ubuntunewb> no
[10:12] <crimsun> larry: have you compiled alsa-driver yourself?
[10:12] <ilsh> join linux-il
[10:12] <life> Alumin, done
[10:12] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: no
[10:12] <tridust> li
[10:12] <Alumin> life: ok, what do you get for "which firefox"
[10:12] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: take all the information that I asked for, and paste it onto the http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org web site
[10:12] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: then tell me the url of your paste.
[10:12] <Alumin> from the same shell you just launched it from
[10:12] <frederific> how can I find out about diskspace used/total/free? It used to be System/Admin/Disks...
[10:12] <mdma> what file should i modify to make internet connection up each time i start ubuntu ?
[10:12] <larry> crimsun, no, do I need to get the source code?? I just used apt-get
[10:13] <Alumin> frederific: df
[10:13] <life> Alumin, /usr/bin/firefox
[10:13] <mjb> Yawn
[10:13] <endersshadow> crimsun: reinstalled but modprobe still hanging
[10:13] <crimsun> larry: yes, you do. The version of alsa in breezy is far too old to support your HDA codec.
[10:13] <tridust> is there somedbody french  there ?
[10:13] <Alumin> life: ok, and is the plugin still not working?
[10:13] <brent_> ubuntunewb: in IRC, it's rude to paste a lot of info because it takes up a lot of room on the screen.  pastebin's website will let you put your info there instead so you can link  to it :)
[10:13] <crimsun> endersshadow: which version did you install?
 ta
[10:13] <endersshadow> crimsun: 1.0.14.rc3
[10:13] <killerguy> how do i open a rar file that is password protected in ubuntu
[10:13] <ubuntunewb> brent_: thanks
[10:14] <crimsun> endersshadow: give me cat /proc/interrupts && dmesg prior to the modprobe
[10:14] <brent_> ubuntunewb: no prob, you get a free pass anyways because you have "newb" in your name :)
[10:14] <killerguy> can anyone help
[10:14] <larry> crimsun, I just get stuff from the alsa site then???? thanks a million
[10:15] <aev> killerguy: likely to be some optio on the rar commandline
[10:15] <aev> find em with rar --help or somesuch
[10:15] <life> Alumin, nope
[10:15] <killerguy> Encrypted file:  CRC failed in /home/killerguy/Desktop/0470038993_CHIPOLLO.rar (password incorrect ?) thats the error i get
[10:16] <killerguy> how do i put the password in a command line
[10:16] <velko> killerguy: if the crc fails this means that you file is corrupted
[10:16] <Alumin> life: ok, well the problem is that the plugin isn't getting loaded for some reason
[10:16] <lockmist> That's also the error it gives if the password's wrong.
[10:16] <lockmist> Does it prompt from stdin?
[10:16] <aev> killerguy: are u using the archive manager gui or the cmdline app
[10:16] <killerguy> it isnt crrupted i has to have a password to open it and i know the passrwod to it
[10:17] <Alumin> one thing you could try is symlinking the plugin into your local plugins directory
[10:17] <ror> urgh dammit since upgrading I lost my mouse4/5 buttons :(
[10:17] <killerguy> oam just clickin on it from desktop
[10:17] <endersshadow> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15112/ snd messages start at 367
[10:17] <Alumin> ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/blah/mplayersomething.so ~/.firefox/plugins
[10:17] <ror> infact button8 and button 9
[10:17] <lockmist> Try using the switch -pPutYourPassWordInHere
[10:17] <aev> killerguy: i think it could be that you need to use the commandline instead of the gui, as this may be unsupported. I had some issues with multipart archives myself
[10:18] <crimsun> endersshadow: it looks like you have a bad compile.
[10:18] <Alumin> life: first, you may want to read /usr/share/doc/mozilla-mplayer/README
[10:18] <aev> Thus, open a console, type and use the rar app to extract
[10:18] <killerguy> so use teminal to open it
[10:18] <crimsun> endersshadow: completely wipe your extracted alsa-driver source directory, re-extract, and recompile from a fresh extract
[10:18] <velko> killerguy: the command line program is invoked this way: unrar file.rar
[10:18] <endersshadow> crimsun: this was my configure line: /configure  --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes
[10:18] <xtknight> actually, "unrar x file.rar"
[10:19] <velko> xtknight: thanks
[10:19] <crimsun> endersshadow: use --with-kernel=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build  instead
[10:19] <aev> and now i found it :( oops, there is also unrar p[password]
[10:19] <lockmist> So try unrar x -pYourPasswordHere file.rar
[10:19] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15113/
[10:19] <velko> aev: p[passwor]  sets a password
[10:19] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: you misunderstood me.
[10:19] <lockmist> It ought to prompt from the console, but I suppose it doesn't.
[10:19] <endersshadow> crimsun: doing that caused it to die by not being able to find linux/version.h
[10:20] <aev> velko: argh nevermind me :)
[10:20] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: go here -->  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems .  Type the commands in a Terminal. Paste their output onto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org . Tell me the URL.
[10:20] <life> Alumin, ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/blah/mplayersomething.so ~/.firefox/plugins didn't worked, I quit the "." before the firefox and it went ok. Was that ok to do
[10:20] <ditoa> how well does ubuntu run on a macbook pro?
[10:20] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: k, i understand now
[10:20] <crimsun> endersshadow: it shouldn't. They should reference the same location.
[10:20] <ditoa> does everything work out of the box?
[10:21] <_Neil> Can anyone help me print to a shared xp printer? I can't get it to work, tried everything
[10:21] <Alumin> life: are you _sure_ you got your firefox from Ubuntu?
[10:21] <Airforce5555> will mirc work on ubuntu anybody
[10:21] <Alumin> putting things in /opt, no ~/.firefox directory...these are not signs of a distro-packaged browser
[10:21] <Airforce5555> will mirc work on ubuntu anybody
[10:21] <MarcN> _Neil: In the printer configuration did you enable Detect LAN printers?
[10:21] <aev> velko: oddly it does list this switch as on option with unrar. Also i had the distinct impression i could UNrar using RAR .... must be me
[10:21] <frojnd> How can I get this video started: No plugin found to handle this resource (/media/sda4/muvis/Prison.Break.S02E22.HDTV.XviD-XOR.avi)  or what does this error mean? I was playing that video just before upgrade??
[10:22] <_Neil> MarcN: yeah..
[10:22] <endersshadow> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15114/
[10:22] <MarcN> Airforce5555: mirc is a windows app, use one of the many linux-native chat apps.  I prefer GAIM which does irc, aol, yahoo, google jabber, etc
[10:22] <life> Alumin, I'm not sure. But I can't remember getting it from somewhere else
[10:22] <Alumin> Airforce5555: my only experience with it was Debian Woody...it worked but it was crashy
[10:22] <killerguy> i still cant get it open
[10:22] <Gizmo_the_Great> Trying to mount a share but I get "mount: <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/ted/Mounts/RAID1 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied". I have made an entry in the /etc/exports file. Do I need to refresh something somewhere?
[10:22] <MarcN> _Neil: and windows is set to share the printer?
[10:22] <brent_> Airforce5555: sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome
[10:22] <_Neil> sure is
[10:22] <Shafto> Airforce5555, Just use Xchat :)
[10:22] <Airforce5555> im looking for an irc client that will run mirc code
[10:22] <Alumin> things may have improved since then...doubtfully on the mIRC side but perhaps on the WINE side
[10:23] <_Neil> works printing to it from my xp system
[10:23] <aev> killerguy: if u send the file with the pass ill see if it works here ;P
[10:23] <Alumin> Airforce5555: the only IRC client that will run mIRC code is mIRC
[10:23] <crimsun> endersshadow: ah, upstream needs to be fixed
[10:23] <Airforce5555> thats why i need mirc
[10:23] <killerguy> where u want me to send it
[10:23] <Shafto> Airforce5555, You looked at WINE?
[10:23] <Airforce5555> i have used wine
[10:23] <brent_> Airforce5555: have you tried wine?
[10:23] <killerguy> i know the password to it its www.Chipollo.Info
[10:23] <Airforce5555> ive downloaded it
[10:23] <aev> killerguy: just a joke mate nevermind
[10:23] <Alumin> Airforce5555: personally I'd suggest cutting your losses and switching to a client that uses a standard language, but if that's not an option then yeah, welcome to mIRC + WINE and good luck
[10:23] <life> bah, I give up... I can live without streaming vids
[10:23] <Airforce5555> but install with wine is not an option
[10:24] <endersshadow> crimsun: not really sure what that means
[10:24] <killerguy> the password
[10:24] <lockmist> Looks like you're looking at WINE or Windows then... and ick, mIRCscript makes me cry.
[10:24] <life> Alumin, thanks for your time :) I'll try another day
[10:24] <aev> killerguy: im afraid i cant help u atm
[10:24] <noway-> Does anyone know where the list of md5 check sums for the ISOs can be found?
[10:24] <Airforce5555> ive downloaded mirc
[10:24] <Airforce5555> but idk how to install with wine
[10:24] <brent_> Airforce5555: why is it not an option?  did it not install correctly?
[10:24] <MarcN> _Neil: Have you tried to add a printer? What happens?
[10:24] <Airforce5555> right click does nto show it
[10:24] <Alumin> life: ok ... you may want to try "apt-get --reinstall install firefox" sometime when you have a minute
[10:24] <Shafto> Airforce5555, Is it .exe?
[10:24] <brent_> Airforce5555: let me walk you through it
[10:24] <Airforce5555> yeah
[10:24] <Alumin> Airforce5555: I just unpacked the zip into my fake_windows directory
[10:24] <Shafto> Airforce5555, brent_ Can do it instead :)
[10:24] <Gizmo_the_Great> When making a new entry in /etc/exports, do you have to get Linux to re-read it, and if so, how? Or should it just read it whenever you try to mount a network share?
[10:24] <Alumin> but again that was a long time ago
[10:24] <Airforce5555> its exe
[10:25] <duelboot> Airforce5555, wine /path/to/file/filename.exe
[10:25] <life> Alumin, yes I'll do that
[10:25] <ditoa> does everything work out of the box?
[10:25] <ditoa> how well does ubuntu run on a macbook pro?
[10:25] <brent_> Airforce5555:  did you download the installer to your desktop?
[10:25] <Airforce5555> let me open terminal
[10:25] <Airforce5555> not sure
[10:25] <_Neil> MarcN: I've tried adding both via hostname and ip, but it just doesnt print
[10:25] <Grexeo> what time (and timezone) is the fiesty fawn RC going to be released tomorrow?
[10:25] <_Neil> using smbclient, i cant actually view any shares though
[10:25] <brent_> Airforce5555: ok, open terminal and type "cd Desktop"
[10:25] <velko> noway-: "md5sum file.iso > result.md5sum"
[10:25] <Gizmo_the_Great> ditoa: Ubuntu runs well on most things. Give the live CD a try
[10:25] <brent_> Airforce5555: then type "ls" and tell me what you see
[10:25] <Shafto> Grexeo, Is it out tomorrow?
[10:25] <_Neil> Hostname is kitchen, in nautilus smb://kitchen/ shows all my shares but no printer... smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/ asks for a password and fails
[10:25] <crimsun> endersshadow: oh well, in the meantime, try a desktop cd (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20070411/)
[10:26] <_Neil> smbclient fails on both smb://kitchen/, and the ip
[10:26] <Airforce5555> mirc621.exe
[10:26] <lockmist> Can I just sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[10:26] <Airforce5555> is that it?
[10:26] <Alumin> ditoa: do the macbooks use CMOS?
[10:26] <brent_> Airforce5555: yes
[10:26] <ditoa> Gizmo_the_Great: i would but i dont have a MBP to test, i am thinking of getting one but was wondering how well it runs ubuntu
[10:26] <hubert> helo
[10:26] <hubert> hello
[10:26] <brent_> Airforce5555: type "wine mirc621.exe"
[10:26] <Alumin> or is it that Apple thing, EIN or something
[10:26] <endersshadow> crimsun: might as well just do that reinstall i was thinking about doing, eh? it worked outta the box...just failed with today's updates...oh well, no big deal
[10:26] <Shafto> lockmist, What you trying to upgrade from and too
[10:26] <ditoa> Alumin: they are EFI based so i am not sure
[10:26] <Gizmo_the_Great> ditoa: a MBP? Whats that?
[10:26] <hubert> what is clinet.key
[10:26] <Alumin> EFI yeah
[10:26] <ditoa> MacBook Pro
[10:26] <hubert> in linuxdc++
[10:26] <brent_> Airforce5555: I forgot to ask, did you install wine yet?
[10:26] <Alumin> you can boot other things with EFI but you have to do stuff
[10:27] <Airforce5555> yep
[10:27] <MarcN> _Neil: does the print job show up in the ubuntu side or does it make it to the windows print spooler?
[10:27] <lockmist> If Ubuntu 64-bit can use EFI, that'll work, if not, install Boot Camp on the Mac and that ought to do it.
[10:27] <noway-> velko: i know how to do it, but I can't find the list of official check sums
[10:27] <brent_> Airforce5555: ok, so what happens when you run "wine ./mirc621.exe"
[10:27] <velko> noway-: sorry. i misunderstood
[10:27] <Gizmo_the_Great> ditoa: oh right. Dunno mate.
[10:27] <Alumin> ah, to be the Great Turtleneck
[10:27] <MarcN> _Neil: Windows has 2 ways to share printing I think.  Take a look at that under Windows.  It is an 'extra' windows component to install.
[10:27] <Alumin> to be able to just say things like "you know what?  I don't feel like using CMOS any more"
[10:28] <Airforce5555> it worked
[10:28] <_Neil> MarcN: ill check it out
[10:28] <Airforce5555> i installed mirc client
[10:28] <lnknpk04> anyone have a suggestion for a cookbook program?
[10:28] <brent_> Airforce5555: :) awesome!
[10:28] <lnknpk04> i only found one in synaptic and didn't like it
[10:28] <ditoa> im really surprised there isnt a linux specifically for the macbook/macbook pros as the hardware is always the same so it would be much easier to get everything working perfectly
[10:28] <Alumin> lnknpk04: isn't that what the phone's for?
[10:28] <Alumin> :))
[10:28] <stepanstas> Is this a known bug? Boot Menu order changes sometimes on restart?
[10:28] <lnknpk04> :-P
[10:28] <brent_> Airforce5555: to run it in the future you can create a "launcher" on your desktop
[10:28] <ditoa> the power of linux on such excellent hardware :)
[10:28] <velko> lnknpk04: if you use gnome you might get ispiration at www.gnome-files.org
[10:29] <lnknpk04> velko, i do, so thanks for the link :)
[10:29] <lockmist> ditoa: Scrape the excess thermal paste off and I'd be right there with ya. :)
[10:29] <Grexeo> Shafto: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-release-dates.html
[10:29] <lockmist> Does anyone else run djbdns (tinydns) on ubuntu?
[10:29] <Alumin> ditoa: wouldn't not running Aqua defeat the purpose of buying an Apple PC?  serious question
[10:29] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15115/
[10:29] <brent_> Airforce5555: just right click the desktop, create a launcher, and make the command "wine ~/Desktop/mirc621.exe"
[10:30] <dyrne> lnknpk04: wow there is actually a #cooking channel (populated) on freenode
[10:30] <Airforce5555> k
[10:30] <noway-> lol, why is it so hard to find these stupid checksums?!
[10:30] <Alumin> Airforce5555: if I were you, after you get mIRC up and running...check out KVirc
[10:30] <lnknpk04> whoa
[10:30] <ditoa> Alumin: not really, its just a laptop at the end of the day, sure it comes with OSX but it is basically just a nice x86 based laptop
[10:30] <Airforce5555> will kvirc run mirc code?
[10:30] <Alumin> I reeeeeeally missed mIRC for a long time, but now that I've used KVirc for a while I'm sold
[10:30] <Alumin> no
[10:30] <lnknpk04> velko, its just www.gnomefiles.org, if you put a - , you get spam :)
[10:30] <crimsun> endersshadow: once you start mucking around with wiki instructions, I can't easily triage your audio bugs
[10:30] <Airforce5555> thats why i want mirc
[10:30] <lnknpk04> nice site though
[10:30] <Airforce5555> otherwise i would use xchat
[10:30] <frojnd> can someone help me on that one. I can't play avi file. What do I have to fix in kaffeine or gxine player. Here is the output of an error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15116/
[10:30] <Alumin> yes, well that's why I said after
[10:31] <velko> lnknpk04: sorry. was not my intention. typing it out of my head :-)
[10:31] <Shafto> frojnd, Try VLC :D
[10:31] <dyrne> !divx | frojnd
[10:31] <ubotu> frojnd: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:31] <lnknpk04> velko, no problem.  a quick google later, i'm at this awesome site ;)
[10:31] <frank_b> is there any command in linux that alows me to see my hard drive specs?
[10:32] <frojnd> dyrne: how is that that other avi can be played,...
[10:32] <endersshadow> crimsun: it's okay...i'll take the blame for that, but decided to try the forums before i started bugging people...anywho, thanks for all the help, i appreciate it
[10:32] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: echo options snd-intel8x0 index=-2 |sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[10:32] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: then reboot
[10:32] <dyrne> frojnd: do a 'file prisonwhatever.avi' what sort of file is it?
[10:33] <Cryoniq> Trying to get a grip about some stuff under Linux tech. Is there something similiar in the works for gaming under linux like the GFX, driect x void etc? A standard worked out which improves and boost the gaming industry for Linux OS:es?
[10:33] <lockmist> frojnd: AVIs don't always compress the video in the same way inside them; many of the "codecs" used aren't free, so Ubuntu can't install them by default.
[10:33] <Alumin> frank_b: hwinfo
[10:33] <frojnd> Prison.Break.S02E22.HDTV.XviD-XOR.avi: data
[10:33] <Alumin> yeah
[10:33] <Alumin> AVI is a container format
[10:34] <Alumin> it doesn't specify the actual audio/video compression codecs
[10:34] <frojnd> Prison.Break.S02E22.HDTV.XviD-XOR.avi: data  when I do file nameofavi
[10:34] <noway-> can anyone point me to the offical checksums? I have been looking all over
[10:34] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: ok, i'll reboot and i'll get back on here
[10:34] <ror> xvid is a free implementation of divx right? or something like that?
[10:34] <Alumin> ror: no
[10:34] <Alumin> it's a free alternative to DivX
[10:34] <brunoUT> anyone know how to fix a program that crashes every time i try to run it?
[10:35] <lockmist> True (but the filename's sort of a giveaway that it might be xVID - also known as MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile, or DivX).
[10:35] <ror> sorry, implementation wasn't the right word
[10:35] <ror> it's free tho right? which was the point I was trying to make
[10:35] <frank_b> Alumin, thank you very much :)
[10:35] <Alumin> frank_b: np
[10:35] <mjb> noway:  try this:  http://losrivas21.blogspot.com/2006/04/how-to-verify-md5-checksum-of-ubuntu.html
[10:35] <tecywiz121> hey, random question.  Is there any way to switch users from a script?
[10:35] <velko> brunoUT: run it from a terminal and note the error message
[10:35] <frojnd> so what do u suggest that I can play that avi fie
[10:35] <frojnd> file*
[10:35] <Alumin> tecywiz121: other than su?
[10:35] <ror> tecywiz121, sudo?
[10:35] <lockmist> Unfortunately MPEG-4 has a whole bunch of patents on it, so it's not Free free, so it can't be included by default.
[10:35] <brunoUT> velko, i just did that
[10:36] <brunoUT> what now?
[10:36] <mjb> noway:  FYI:  I went to Google and typed "ubuntu iso checksums"
[10:36] <Alumin> DFSG-free :)
[10:36] <frank_b> Alumin, "hwinfo" -> "command not found"...
[10:36] <lockmist> (XviD is OK, because it doesn't distribute binaries.)
[10:36] <tecywiz121> ror, alumin, I mean like the switch user in the shut down menu
[10:36] <dyrne> frojnd: lazy solution is to use vlc. to get it to work with other players that dont come with their own codecs id see the help.ubuntu.com page
[10:36] <Alumin> frank_b: you probably have to install it
[10:36] <colbert> How would I set up fax on my computer so I can receive faxes on PC ?
[10:36] <frank_b> Alumin, oh, ok. thanks
[10:36] <Alumin> oh...from a script?
[10:36] <tecywiz121> ya
[10:36] <velko> brunoUT: perhaps sharing the error message here? else we need crystal balls to guess it? or wave chicken bones?
[10:36] <Alumin> colbert: look into hylafax
[10:36] <ror> must be something to do with gdm
[10:36] <lockmist> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats should help you out, frojnd, if you want it to work properly.
[10:37] <nerdygirl_ellie> From a script, you can su - username 'command' to run a command as another user.
[10:37] <nerdygirl_ellie> but it will require a password, usually.
[10:37] <lnknpk04> gourmet recipe manager - in case anyone else needed something to manage their recipes :)
[10:37] <tecywiz121> ror, ya
[10:37] <Alumin> tecywiz121: if it's possible, it'll be a matter of sending a message to your display manager
[10:38] <Alumin> which in your case I'd assume would be gdm
[10:38] <tecywiz121> ror, but I have no idea how to do it, I think it has something to do with gnome-session
[10:38] <tecywiz121> Alumin, it is
[10:38] <Zeitsofa> hi, can anyone help me with xsane? Problem is i can run xsane as root und it run without problem, but as user it terminate with this message >>> http://sial.org/pbot/24153  ||| pls qry
[10:38] <Alumin> tecywiz121: if you don't get an answer here, I'd try #gnome
[10:38] <velko> lnknpk04: and it is able to download receipes from various internet sources as i remember correctly
[10:38] <tecywiz121> kk, thanks
[10:38] <frank_b> Alumin, yes. it's a package. I've installed it and it's working now. thanks again
[10:39] <ror> tecywiz121, I'd try ##gnome then
[10:39] <Alumin> tecywiz121: I'm a KDE user so I'm not familiar with the internals, but I'd imagine it's some kind of thing like a GNOME equivalent of KDE's "dcop" command
[10:39] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: what was the last part you wanted me to type with sudo, i typed in my password and it didn't go back to the desktop directory
[10:39] <Alumin> you send a message to the "GNOME mothership" that tells it to invoke the function that corresponds to that switch user button
[10:39] <brunoUT> velko, here is my error: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem::filesystem_error'
[10:39] <lockmist> *blink* Has anyone ever used tinydns under Ubuntu successfully? Some people clearly seem to, and I can't figure out why it seems to be running but not answering...
[10:39] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: i rebooted and the sound doesnt work still
[10:39] <dyrne> tecywiz121: you mean somthing that su - then export DISPLAY's and launches another gnome-panel etc?
[10:39] <brunoUT> any ideas about that error?
[10:40] <tecywiz121> dyrne, that doesn't sound like the 'right' way to do it :P
[10:40] <Alumin> lockmist: are you sure that it's not answering...and not that the answer just isn't being received?
[10:40] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: did you unmute and adjust the volume?
[10:40] <Alumin> sniff its traffic with ethere^H^H^H^H^Hwireshark?
[10:40] <ubuntunewb> everything is unmuted
[10:40] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: pastebin ``amixer''
[10:41] <lockmist> Well, the iptables chain is blank, it's on the open internet and I'm SSHed into the machine now...
[10:41] <Alumin> lockmist: since you're choosing between DNS servers I'm going to assume that you're at a certain level of competency and just throw things at you :P
[10:41] <Caramba_> Hiya folks! Which mp3 player *running from the command line* (no GUI) would you recommend?
[10:41] <Alumin> make sure the answer is being sent, um...check the tinydns logfile
[10:41] <lockmist> And even if I do dnsq A lockmist.com <IP_ADDRESS> it times out... even when I'm running it _on_ <IP_ADDRESS>.
[10:42] <eztk> did anyone else lose their gnome menu after the last software update? :|
[10:42] <Caramba_> And, it should be able to receive streams as well.
[10:42] <Alumin> lockmist: nmap -sU -p 53 <IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:42] <lockmist> The logfile has the request I just made, and a bunch of others that it's received since being online.
[10:42] <eztk> something to do with a dbus error and gnome-settings-manager
[10:42] <Alumin> (need root for that, UDP packets are scary)
[10:42] <lockmist> Good call, let me just sort that out.
[10:42] <disasm> Alumin: the vast amount of nmap options are just scary ;-)
[10:42] <Soli> Greetings.  I'm trying to install Ubuntu server on IBM x3560 that have a NetXtreme II network card.  Both 6.06 and 6.10 don't detect the network card at boot time.
[10:43] <Soli> Can someone points me to Installation instructions without network?  Or a way to active a new network device module at installation time?
[10:43] <Alumin> disasm: indeed
[10:43] <mdma> can i access windows folder within amarok?
[10:43] <eztk> hmm
[10:43] <lockmist> I've seen worse than nmap, much worse. It's quite easy to use.
[10:43] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15119/
[10:43] <Alumin> it's a port scanner...with 97 pages of manual!
[10:43] <eztk> cant be just me?
[10:43] <lockmist> Well, exactly. It has manual.
[10:43] <eztk> my ubuntu setup is hardly custom
[10:43] <Alumin> disasm: you should see the manpage for zsh
[10:44] <lockmist> 53/udp open|filtered domain
[10:44] <Alumin> that tops them all
[10:44] <mdma> can i play mp3 files within amarok which located on windows partition ?
[10:44] <Alumin> it doesn't even have a man page when you "man zsh"
[10:44] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: add to that paste ``cat /proc/asound/{cards,modules}''
[10:44] <lockmist> (Well, it's not _closed,_ and since it's not firewalled, I guess it really is listening.)
[10:44] <eztk> ok. maybe its just me then
[10:44] <Alumin> it just has this file that says "yeah there was way too much stuff here, so here's 12 other manpages that we broke it all up into, pick one"
[10:44] <lockmist> By the way, try nmap -sUV -p 53 <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:44] <vio> hiya..
[10:45] <Caramba_> Nobody running audio-players from the command line ? :(
[10:45] <vio> direct connect (dc++ in xp) is there anything like that for ubuntu? link? name?
[10:45] <eztk> there goes my "linux is great, it just works" philosophy. you do a software update and you lose your gnome menu. that sucks.
[10:45] <lockmist> That uses a version probe if it thinks it might be open, and that says: 53/udp open  domain  TinyDNS
[10:45] <lockmist> vio: valknut
[10:45] <Alumin> vio: apt-cache search will find you some options
[10:45] <vio> ty lockmist
[10:45] <Alumin> lockmist: ok, you're correct that it's not a firewall/networking issue
[10:46] <Alumin> lockmist: my next best suggestion is...verbose logging on the tinydns end?
[10:46] <lockmist> So... hm. It's running. It's listening. It's even logging and responding, but it's not actually responding... bah.
[10:46] <lockmist> It gets more verbose? Tell me more.
[10:46] <vio> lockmist: will it work on feisty?
[10:46] <lockmist> vio: One way to find out.
[10:46] <Alumin> lockmist: no idea, I've never even seen tinydns
[10:46] <Alumin> just going with general troubleshooting for network apps :)
[10:46] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15120/
[10:46] <lockmist> It's... sort of... terse.
[10:46] <vio> lockmist:  ok i'll let you know
[10:47] <velko> Soli: i don't think you really need network for the installation (as long as you are not doing net install). is the installation aborted if it can't recognize your card?
[10:47] <lockmist> DJB has a weird way of doing things.
[10:47] <Alumin> bernstein can kiss my rear, BIND 4 LIFE
[10:47] <Alumin> :))
[10:47] <lockmist> I'd sooner resort to Gentoo (again) than resort to BIND.
[10:47] <lockmist> Not a statement I'd make lightly. *wince*
[10:47] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: now add ``tail /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base''
[10:47] <eztk> i should have said.. lost top and bottom menu bars for gnome edgy eft.. after update manager told me to reboot after a round of software updates were installed
[10:47] <Alumin> but still I'm assuming that djbdns is in fact capable of resolving queries, creator attitude notwithstanding
[10:47] <Alumin> so I guess it's worth debugging
[10:48] <lockmist> Highly capable, running it on several servers as I speak.
[10:48] <lockmist> I've installed it twice now, once manually via compilation and once using the rather convoluted sudo apt-get install daemontools-installer djbdns-installer.
[10:48] <Alumin> yay licenses!
[10:48] <larry> crimsun, alsa wont compile for me - it says my c compiler cant create executables
[10:49] <lockmist> (You have to >/etc/inittab before you do that, because Feisty doesn't use an inittab, and you'll have to give it an event.d script that works.)
[10:49] <crimsun> larry: do you have linux-headers-$(uname -r) and build-essential installed?
[10:49] <Alumin> uh
[10:49] <lockmist> That seemed to work, but ... gah.
[10:49] <larry> crimsun, not sure
[10:49] <Alumin> did you just say "Feisty doesn't use an inittab"?
[10:49] <crimsun> Alumin: it doesn't. Neither does Edgy.
[10:49] <lockmist> It doesn't, it uses upstart - all the stuff's in /etc/event.d/
[10:49] <Alumin> no way
[10:50] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15121/
[10:50] <lockmist> There isn't even an /etc/inittab.
[10:50] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: thanks for all your help
[10:50] <Alumin> wow, that's the end of anera
[10:50] <lockmist> Threw me a bit, but it's actually quite nice.
[10:50] <Alumin> s/ne/n\ e/
[10:50] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: you didn't execute the last command I gave you.
[10:50] <brent_> I have Vmware server installed.  Is there anyway to run config-vmware.pl everytime after apt-get updates the kernel so that Vmware doesn't break?  This is for my mom's computer so that she doesn't have to run vmware-config.pl
[10:51] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: this is a command:  echo options snd-intel8x0 index=-2|sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[10:51] <Alumin> anyway, point being...I'm assuming that if tinydns is in fact not sending the response for whatever reason, it'd be logging it
[10:51] <bigjohnto> anyone know why i am getting this error when i try to use openvpn ????? pam_dial_auth: terminal-device not specifiedby login
[10:51] <brent_> Basically I need some kind of way to make a rule for apt-get that says "When I update *this* package, I run *this* script"
[10:51] <Alumin> so since it's not logging the failure...is it specifically logging a success (of sending the response)?
[10:51] <nikin> hy... i ame back
[10:51] <viralbus> Hi, I'm having problems connecting to my wireless network using my Netgear WG511T card in Edgy Eft.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear seems to indicate it should work out of the box.
[10:51] <lockmist> I'd think, Alumin, but if it won't even send it to localhost... hm... localhost...
[10:52] <brunoUT> has anyone in here installed matlab on ubuntu....cd i can not get it to work
[10:52] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15123/
[10:52] <brent_> viralbus: unfortunately (for you) I can confirm that card works under Edgy and Feisty for me
[10:52] <Alumin> so the question is not "why is it not responding", but rather "why does it think it's responding but not completing the transaction"
[10:52] <Alumin> which normally I would attribute to firewalling
[10:52] <Alumin> but we've already eliminated that to my satisfaction
[10:52] <brent_> viralbus: are you sure that the pcmcia slot is working?
[10:53] <lockmist> *nod* That was my first thought, so I did a sudo iptables -F ... and no, it's not the firewall.
[10:53] <viralbus> brent: Perhaps it's the card, but it was working for me in Fedora Core before.  And it's still working in Windows
[10:53] <lockmist> It's a tight firewall script, but that's not responsible this time.
[10:53] <Alumin> just to clarify, the failed lookup and the successful nmap probe came from the same machine, yes?
[10:53] <lockmist> Yes - the same machine that's running the tinydns.
[10:53] <Alumin> ok
[10:53] <nikin> how can i restore the  default smb.conf? somehow it is not working... i dont have workgroup or smbusers file..
[10:53] <viralbus> Here's why iwlist says: twid@alcedo:~$ sudo /sbin/iwconfig  ath0

[10:54] <dyrne> nikin: typically sudo dpkg-reconfigure packagename
[10:54] <Alumin> lockmist: "netstat -ltpn" look for tinydns
[10:54] <lockmist> *nod* Tried that too. Still nothing. netstat -l confirms it's definitely listening, too.
[10:54] <Alumin> is it listening on <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[10:54] <EADG01> I need help in GParted. Win & Ubuntu on same drive. I resized win partition to free up 60Gb. I want to add the free 60Gb to the Ubuntu partition, is that possible?
[10:54] <Alumin> oh wait, udp
[10:54] <Alumin> netstat -lupn
[10:54] <lockmist> tinydns never does, it only binds to specific IPs...
[10:55] <eztk> hmphh
[10:55] <lockmist> udp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:53          <IP_ADDRESS>:*                          -
[10:55] <Alumin> ok...is it listening on localhost and the public IP or just the public IP?
[10:55] <dyrne> EADG01: yes but youll need to do it from a livecd cant do it while drive is mounted. either gparted or ubuntu livecd
[10:55] <eztk> anyone know how to recover the loss of the top and bottom gnome menu, edgy eft? i lost them both after a software update
[10:55] <eztk> it comes back if i go a gnome failsafe session
[10:55] <lockmist> Just the public IP... but same sort of deal here, nothing outside it can resolve it either.
[10:55] <viralbus> brent: So in theory the card should be working, I guess, but it's not blinking -- the left-hand light is on constantly.
[10:55] <eztk> go = do
[10:55] <Alumin> check /etc/resolv.conf
[10:55] <domserver> hi there
[10:55] <dyrne> eztk: gnome-panel&
[10:55] <eztk> saw some strange messages about dbus and gnome-session-manager
[10:56] <lockmist> (It's listening on both public IPs, in fact, it's multihomed, should've mentioned that, but neither respond.)
[10:56] <Alumin> hmm, other machines can't query it either huh
[10:56] <lockmist> Go ahead, try it.
[10:56] <domserver> umm
[10:56] <nikin> dyrne, it is not working... it just asks me that if i want it ro run asa deamon or not, and about encrypted passwd-s
[10:56] <eztk> dyme: ill have a go running that. i put a terminal icon on the desktop. at least the desktop comes up
[10:56] <mzanfardino> I'm trying to split an mp4 file into it's constituent audio and video compents for later burning to dvd.  when I attempt to separate the audio elements I receive the following error: Unsupported codec (id=86018) for input stream #0.1.  It appears I need libfaad.so, which I've installed, but I'm still getting the error.  How can I besure I have libfaad.so properly referenced?
[10:56] <EADG01> dyrne: Live cd is loaded and gparted instaled. Free space is formated to ext3 but nowhaere do I see an option to add the new 60Gb to existing linux partition...
[10:56] <lockmist> All that resolv.conf has in it is nameserver lines for my two upstream nameservers. (tinydns is an authoritative nameserver, not a recursive/resolving one.)
[10:57] <mzanfardino> !paste
[10:57] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:57] <greenman> Hi.  I need help.  How do I change it from trying to install packages off the CD?  I only want to use the network...
[10:57] <leyucks> hello
[10:57] <lockmist> greenman: If you sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list you'll see the line referring to the CD near the start - put a # at the beginning.
[10:57] <tjb13> hey guys is there a rc cd comming out at midnight tonight?
[10:57] <greenman> thanks lockmist
[10:57] <mzanfardino> here is the command I'm using and the results: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15124/
[10:57] <vio> lockmist: valknut worked perfect, thanks for the quick answer
[10:58] <[domserver] > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[10:58] <lockmist> vio: No problem :)
[10:58] <mzanfardino> can anyone recommend a channel dedicated to video manipulations?
[10:58] <lockmist> Any more ideas, Alumin?
[10:58] <preaction> mzanfardino: http://doom9.org
[10:59] <Sir_Skeleton> isnt doom9 the site that broke aacs?
[10:59] <mzanfardino> preaction: 404
[10:59] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: i copied and pasted the command, should i do it all at once or in two parts
[10:59] <lockmist> Site? .. it's the one that muslix and the other guy posted to, yes, they do have some anti-DRM activists among them.
[10:59] <[domserver] > mzanfardino he is joking you !!!
[10:59] <preaction> mzanfardino: cannot find server is different from 404. http://www.doom9.org
[11:00] <mzanfardino> I'm really just hoping to chat with someone who can help me understand the process and maybe help me discover what I'm missing
[11:00] <Sir_Skeleton> lol
[11:00] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: it's /one/ command
[11:00] <lockmist> It's full of guides regarding all kinds of DVD ripping, encoding, quality tests between different codecs, etc.
[11:00] <preaction> [domserver] : are you here helping? or are you here trolling?
[11:00] <tjb13> anyone have any idea?
[11:00] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: should i reboot now
[11:00] <[domserver] > preaction anything
[11:00] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: ``tail /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base'' -> pastebin
[11:00] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: i tried it earlier but i did it as 2 commands
[11:00] <preaction> [domserver] : fyi, one of those is bad
[11:01] <mdma> can i play mp3 files within amarok which located on windows partition ?
[11:01] <lockmist> Hm... I never had any problems getting these exact same sources working under Gentoo.
[11:01] <paradizelost> hey all, i'm using KeepassX on ubuntu 6.10, when i enter my password for the database it segfaults
[11:01] <[domserver] > preaction xcuseme, will happen no more
[11:01] <paradizelost> anyone have any ideas?
[11:01] <velko> EADG01: it's probably not what you have expected. you can mount this partition under every directory in linux (say /home/ead/movie) and access it this way. you cannot "merge" two partitions (not in every case that's it)
[11:01] <greenman> Got another one for ya.  I just apt-gat bittornado, I can't seem to run it though...
[11:01] <[domserver] > :)
[11:02] <iKOSHrf> Hi, i have a question, im having lot of troubles with TCL/TK and QT using fonts, everytime i open an application that uses TK or QT the fonts just look awfull, any clue what should i do?
[11:02] <[domserver] > greenman you are doing apt-gat not apt-get
[11:02] <lockmist> Gah. I just got dm-crypt working as well :/
[11:02] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15125/
[11:02] <greenman> I guess apt-got would be more appropriate
[11:02] <iKOSHrf> ubuntu 6.10*
[11:02] <YetiChick> mdma: You can generally play them if you can mount the partition.  Whether or not you can modify (tag, for example) them is another question.
[11:02] <greenman> [domserver] : apt-get
[11:03] <larry> how do I get the name of my soundcard??
[11:03] <greenman> [domserver] : I was referring to it in past tense.  :)
[11:03] <[domserver] > greenman is APT-GET not APT-GAT
[11:03] <dyrne> larry: lspci -v or sudo lshw
[11:03] <lockmist> YetiChick: You can use NTFS partitions completely natively if you do this: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[11:03] <mdma> YetiChick player shows me error while i load those outer of linux
[11:03] <EADG01> Thanks velko, I just found "file systems" in GParted, gives a list of what can be done (grow, shrink, move, etc) with diffrent FS's. Can't move ext3 or ntfs... I can't merge the free space.
[11:03] <lockmist> That worked for me under Feisty (development).
[11:03] <stefg> paradizelost: Having no idea what this KeepassX is, segfaulting means probably that it does not like your libc version. Is this from an ubuntu-repo?
[11:03] <greenman> [domserver] : I try typing bittornado after apt-GETting and it says command not found...
[11:03] <paradizelost> stefg: yes
[11:03] <paradizelost> it's a password vault
[11:03] <greenman> I tried reading a man file but it didn't have one...
[11:03] <YetiChick> lockmist: almost natively.  I have some problems with certain character sets and certain filenames.
[11:03] <paradizelost> apt-get install keepassx installs it
[11:04] <stefg> !INFO KEEPASSX
[11:04] <ubotu> keepassx: Cross Plateform Password Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.2-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 403 kB, installed size 1036 kB
[11:04] <lockmist> YetiChick: Try the locale option.
[11:04] <[domserver] > greenman ensure the repository list is updated
[11:04] <YetiChick> mdma:  What's the error?
[11:04] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: erase that "sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" line
[11:04] <Curley_Sue> hi all, is there anyone that can help with ekiga registration & sound problems
[11:04] <lockmist> I use: /dev/hdb1       /mnt/d  ntfs-3g noatime,force,locale=en_GB.utf8 0       0
[11:04] <YetiChick> lockmist:  Done so.  I didn't fight with it too much, but I could not get a filename with the degree symbol to copy.
[11:04] <lockmist> (in /etc/fstab)
[11:04] <Curley_Sue> hi all, is there anyone that can help with ekiga registration & sound problems
[11:04] <EADG01> Thanks for the help guys.
[11:05] <dyrne> Curley_Sue: any questions specifically?
[11:05] <greenman> [domserver] : how do I do that?
[11:05] <iKOSHrf> anyone with problems with fonts using AMSN or DBDesigner on 6.10? o:
[11:05] <Alumin> lockmist: wireshark didn't help
[11:05] <Alumin> same symptoms as you...query goes out, response never arrives
[11:05] <Alumin> ok, on the machine
[11:05] <Curley_Sue> !ekiga
[11:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ekiga - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:06] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: its putting that in there on its own
[11:06] <Alumin> dig @<IP_ADDRESS> mail.lockmist.com
[11:06] <lockmist> Odd. I've got filenames with  and  and stuff as weird as kanji in Unicode in them and it's working for me (XP SP2 (English) NTFS partition, mounted in Ubuntu 7.04 development).
[11:06] <stefg> paradizelost: hmmm..... maybe it's just a bad package, or if you run a 64-bit ubuntu it doesn't work on that. But a segfaulting programm normally indicates that it's no misconfiguration, but a real bug
[11:06] <ubuntunewb> im not putting in the sudo command
[11:06] <YetiChick> lockmist:  Pretty much the same as I used.  This *was* a while ago, and it was in Gentoo.  Might be fixed by now.
[11:06] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: gksu 'gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base'
[11:06] <lockmist> ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[11:07] <paradizelost> stefg: k. cuz it was working a week ago
[11:07] <greenman> I found stuff like this:  /usr/bin/btlaunchmanycurses.bittornado
[11:07] <Alumin> to localhost?
[11:07] <lockmist> YetiChick: Probably has been, ntfs-3g has only really been working perfectly quite recently.
[11:07] <greenman> But I'm not sure how to use it...
[11:07] <Alumin> yeah, it's gotta be a configuration issue then
[11:07] <lockmist> Alumin: Exactly as you said...
[11:07] <greenman> Anyone know of an easy to install, easy to use command line torrent prog?
[11:08] <Alumin> do you have "ONLY_PRETEND_TO_ANSWER_QUERIES=1"?
[11:08] <Alumin> cause that'll cause problems
[11:08] <lockmist> Alumin: I suppose, but I don't get why; tinydns and most other DJB stuff bails out at the tiniest hint of a configuration problem.
[11:08] <iKOSHrf> anyone with problems with fonts using AMSN or DBDesigner on 6.10? o:
[11:08] <Alumin> greenman: apt-get install bittornado
[11:08] <lockmist> And it's very... minimalist. Hard to screw up, and I'm using the same config files.
[11:08] <Alumin> I've heard good things about rtorrent too but haven't used
[11:08] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: done
[11:08] <Szeraax> how do i set the uid of a screen saver? (yes i know it's dumb. How would i do it?)
[11:08] <atomiku> how can I extract what is inside .bin files?
[11:09] <Alumin> lockmist: if you're feeling especially saucy, you could try running tinydns out of strace
[11:09] <Alumin> atomiku: what kind of .bin file
[11:09] <greenman> Alumin: I did that.  I can't figure out how to use it.
[11:09] <Curley_Sue> dyrne: yep, i get registration failed (though i can log in on the webpage to the @ekiga.net usr) and I can pass the sound test
[11:09] <atomiku> Alumin: .cue/.bin
[11:09] <YetiChick> Is anyone using an SMC gigabit card (ns83820 module) in Feisty?  Works in Gentoo, Sabayon and Arch, but for me, not in Feisty.
[11:09] <atomiku> that kind
[11:09] <atomiku> 700mb
[11:09] <Alumin> atomiku: use binchunker to convert to ISO
[11:09] <atomiku> hmmm
[11:09] <YetiChick> I'm wondering if it's configuration specific, or a broken module...
[11:10] <lockmist> Alumin: I'll give it a go...
[11:10] <Szeraax> and help someone?
[11:10] <Curley_Sue> dyrne: do u want to meet on the #ekiga room?
[11:10] <ikonia> szwhats up
[11:10] <Alumin> lockmist: have you dealt with strace output before?
[11:10] <uFo-Z> i am using checkinstall as root but got fauilers "No such file or directory" all the time and/or that i have no premissions to do that
[11:10] <ikonia> uFo-Z: there is no file or dir - and you don't have permissions
[11:11] <deftonesgirl> need some help here...when i start up ubuntu it says activating swap failed
[11:11] <larry> dyrne, that didnt really do it - most stuff comes up as "unknown device"
[11:11] <ikonia> deftonesgirl: couldn't activate your swap partition
[11:11] <lockmist> Alumin: Just tried it and it's quite self-explanatory for a kernel debugger...
[11:11] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: should it work now
[11:11] <atomiku> Instead of converting the .bin to an .iso cant I just use something else to extract from .bin??
[11:11] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: did you remove the sudo line from that file, then save it?
[11:11] <ikonia> atomiku: try running the bin file
[11:11] <deftonesgirl> exactly
[11:11] <Alumin> oh well pff yeah I guess
[11:12] <velko> greenman: you may check rtorrent too
[11:12] <Alumin> heh
[11:12] <Curley_Sue> dyrne: are u still there?
[11:12] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: yes
[11:12] <crimsun> ubuntunewb: then reboot, yes
[11:12] <Galga> hi
[11:12] <atomiku> ikonia: okay
[11:12] <ubuntunewb> k, i'll be back
[11:12] <greenman> velko: I tried that, It wouldn't work.  Something to do with the way you enter commands
[11:12] <skulrid> hi
[11:12] <greenman> anyone know how to use bittornado?
[11:12] <ikonia> skulrid: hi
[11:12] <Galga> whenever i run update manager, it halts, and nothing happens onwards
[11:12] <variant> greenman: u mean you don't know how to use it :)
[11:12] <skulrid> I need to make some mp3 files smaller, but I cant find anything... anyone knows an aplications that does it?
[11:12] <ikonia> Galga: does the machine hang or just update manager
[11:13] <variant> Galga: at what point, how long do you leave it?
[11:13] <variant> Galga: is your computer new?
[11:13] <Galga> ikonia, just the update manager
[11:13] <Curley_Sue> hi all, is there anyone that can help with ekiga registration & sound problems
[11:13] <atomiku> bash: ./bin.bin: cannot execute binary file
[11:13] <variant> ikonia: lo matey
[11:13] <Alumin> greenman: it's not difficult, try the manpage...or are you getting errors?
[11:13] <larry> crimsun, how do I know the name of my sound card - lspci -v and lshw just seem to list everything as "unknown device"
[11:13] <ikonia> Galga: ok - try sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:13] <ikonia> Galga: if you have errors you'll get output from the apt command
[11:13] <Galga> variant, its been processing for the past 11 minutes are so for the newly founded available updates
[11:13] <ikonia> Galga: rather than hidden behind the gui
[11:13] <crimsun> larry: sudo update-pciids
[11:13] <YetiChick> skulrid: audacity
[11:14] <variant> Galga: try ikonia's suggestion
[11:14] <Galga> variant, ikonia thanks
[11:14] <greenman> Alumin: I tried man bittornado first thing.  (RTFM) but there wasn't one.
[11:14] <skulrid> thnks, gonna try it
[11:14] <Alumin> really?
[11:14] <Alumin> odd
[11:14] <lockmist> Alumin: I'm tail -f'ing the strace output now. Quite enlightening.
[11:14] <Szeraax> anyone? yes no? set the uid on a screen saver??
[11:15] <Alumin> try "bittornado --url 'http://blah.torrent'"
[11:15] <Alumin> remove the outer quotes, keep the inner single quotes
[11:15] <greenman> variant: no there was a tty conflict.  It wasn't reading my command.  I tried to fix it but it wouldn't work
[11:15] <Alumin> lockmist: oh lord, don't do that unless you want a migraine
[11:15] <ikonia> Szeraax: what do you want to do ?
[11:15] <greenman> Alumin: yeah.  That's why I came here.  :)
[11:15] <YetiChick> skulrid:  Good luck.  It works great, but I've not yet tried it in Ubuntu.
[11:15] <skulrid> and other thing, i want to use a mouse extra botton as "return" in firefox (just like I used in windows) how do I set it?
[11:15] <Alumin> that bit about the kernel debugger was a joke, wasn't it
[11:15] <lockmist> Alumin: It's not all that verbose. ... and no, it wasn't, I wrote Vexmon. :)
[11:15] <ubuntunewb> crimsun: thanks so much, it is working now
[11:15] <Alumin> not all that verbose?
[11:16] <Alumin> are we talking about the same strace? :P
[11:16] <variant> greenman: strange
[11:16] <lockmist> There's only 8 syscalls for every DNS request.
[11:16] <Galga> ikonia, shall i kill the update manager ?
[11:16] <paradizelost> stefg: is there a way for me to run the program and find out what's causing the crash?
[11:16] <Szeraax> set the uid on my screen saver
[11:16] <lockmist> tinydns isn't named so for no reason.
[11:16] <Alumin> oh
[11:16] <ikonia> Galga:you have to , to get apt-get to run
[11:16] <Ollie|> I am having a problem accesssing a samba share from my windows machine. the share is setup and points to  /home/oliver/www I have changed the workgroup and can see my Ubunutu server from the windows machine. But when I log in with the same username and password as I do in the terminal it doesn't work
[11:16] <Alumin> I guess that is pretty low-bandwidth
[11:16] <variant> greenman: i don't use it personally, i take it you have a problem with azureus or the gnome bittorent client?
[11:16] <Alumin> well, I was gonna recommend 2>tinydns.strace and then opening it up in vim
[11:16] <Ollie|> There is an option in webmin to convert unix users to samba users. Do I need to do this?
[11:16] <Szeraax> i need to have it run as a different user
[11:16] <Alumin> vim has great syntax highlighting for strace
[11:16] <Galga> ikonia, when i typed sudo apt-get upgrade in terminal, it started right away with updating
[11:16] <ikonia> Galga: ok - lets let it complete
[11:17] <thehumanerror> I run Ubuntu, and my Mum now has Ubuntu, is the only way to remotely help her with her computer VNC? Or is there an X way of doing it?
[11:17] <ikonia> Szeraax: man chmod - you'll see how to use setuid
[11:17] <Galga> ikonia, i can still see the gui of update manager hanged at processing step though
[11:17] <Galga> ikonia, ok thank
[11:17] <Szeraax> eh, good enough. thanks for the pointer
[11:17] <paradizelost> my sound volume hotkeys have stopped working with the last kernel update, how do i get them back?
[11:17] <paradizelost> laptop
[11:17] <ikonia> Galga: the fact that apt-get is running while you can see the gui means the gui was doing nothing as there is not a lock file problem
[11:17] <lockmist> recvfrom... time(NULL), then it opens the data.cdb file with the domain info in it... fstat64's it, mmap2, munmap.. then close.
[11:17] <stefg> paradizelost: you'd need to run it in a debugger.... Setting that up and interpreting the results is presumably more work than you want to invest .
[11:18] <variant> thehumanerror: you can forward X connections.. never done it myself. also ubutnu supports remote desktop with rdp, vnc, ssh and rdp/vnc OVER ssh
[11:18] <paradizelost> stefg: well, i need to get into my password database one way or another
[11:18] <lockmist> Then it looks like it's writing the logfile, and - oh!
[11:18] <lockmist> That's the first sendto() call I've seen.
[11:18] <YetiChick> Ollie:  The easiest way is to just use smbpasswd to create a user.  You can synchronize the unix and smb users, but I usually don't for just a user or two.
[11:19] <greenman> variant: has to be command line
[11:19] <variant> thehumanerror: if you are in the same lan as the other system then vnc is fine
[11:19] <Alumin> thehumanerror: VNC is the only way you're gonna get access to her desktop
[11:19] <stefg> paradizelost: so ask yourself what changes happened to your system that might have caused keepassx to stop working...
[11:19] <variant> greenman: ok.. not too sure then.
[11:19] <judgen> howdy
[11:19] <nikin> smb.conf got fixed.. now that is working fine :D
[11:19] <thehumanerror> I can use VNC, thanks, I just wondered if there was a better way using X
[11:19] <Alumin> forwarding X11 will get you your own login on her machine, but that's probably not what you want
[11:19] <variant> thehumanerror: vnc is standard
[11:19] <paradizelost> i've reverted the changes
[11:19] <judgen> where can i find the libgnucrypto-java package?
[11:19] <Alumin> thehumanerror: look into x0rfbserver
[11:19] <lockmist> Alumin: Eureka. It's responding to PTR requests, but not A requests...
[11:19] <Alumin> package name rfb I believe
[11:19] <foug> My Ubuntu GUI is very buggy. The taskbar will always expand even though i have it unchecked.
[11:19] <ikonia> judgen: if it exists in the ubuntu repo
[11:19] <nikin> slowly i got at the end of configuring ubuntu-lite
[11:19] <foug> anyone know why this is happening?
[11:20] <Alumin> interesting
[11:20] <Alumin> maybe it only thinks it's authoritative for the reverse zone?
[11:20] <Ollie|> YetiChick, could you tell me the command to do this
[11:20] <lockmist> Could be, but it normally would tell you it doesn't know if it knew it wasn't authoritative, instead it's just junking it. Could be a configuration issue, but it's unusual for it not to bail out.
[11:20] <judgen> ikonia:  its refered to by other packages, but its not available on server.
[11:20] <lockmist> strace is useful, thanks for pointing me towards that :)
[11:20] <variant> judgen: it does exist.. you needto enable extra repositorys
[11:20] <ikonia> judgen: do you have all the repo's enabled ?
[11:21] <Alumin> thehumanerror: if by "better" you mean "faster", check out NX
[11:21] <Ollie|> baring in mind I need access to the directory /home/oliver/www
[11:21] <larry> crimsun, the alsa install readme says I have to run modprobe snd-<name of sound card> I'm not sure exactly what goes here... lspci -v just tells me nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
[11:21] <variant> anyone using qingy in ubuntu here?
[11:21] <greenman> exit
[11:21] <greenman> quit
[11:21] <thehumanerror> no, that's not what I want, I only will need to do it to control her desktop
[11:21] <Alumin> thehumanerror: and furthermore, when you do VNC, I'd recommend using TightVNC, the new 1.3 series
[11:21] <thehumanerror> and help her do stuff
[11:21] <Galga> ikonia, thanks for the information, besides after the download completes, can i update my edgy to the newer latest release, perhaps by downloading the required files only ?
[11:21] <Alumin> since it supports file transfers
[11:21] <thehumanerror> I love TightVNC :)
[11:22] <thehumanerror> cool
[11:22] <Alumin> which you will inevitably want
[11:22] <ikonia> Galga: the latest edgy release - or fesity
[11:22] <Alumin> not the stable 1.2.something
[11:22] <Alumin> the 1.3.x release candidate
[11:22] <thehumanerror> well, I can download stuff using her computer, as it will be connected to the Internet
[11:22] <Galga> ikonia, fesity
[11:22] <thehumanerror> I'll try that then
[11:22] <ikonia> Galga: I'd advise against until its stable
[11:22] <variant> Alumin: what do you mean file transfers? like drag and drop between systems or what?
[11:22] <foug> My Ubuntu GUI is very buggy. The taskbar will always expand even though i have it unchecked.
[11:22] <judgen> variant: ikonia i have main, universe, and multiverse enabled
[11:22] <judgen> do i need more?
[11:22] <thehumanerror> but I don't really want to use packages outside of Universe
[11:22] <theTrav> hey gang
[11:22] <judgen> found it over here though http://mirror.linux.org.mt/mirror/ubuntu/pool/main/libg/libgnucrypto-java/
[11:22] <thehumanerror> Main if pos
[11:22] <Alumin> variant: not sure if it's drag and drop, but file transfer between the VNC client and server
[11:23] <YetiChick> Ollie: "sudo smbpasswd -a <user>" should work. Use your own username, of course.  You will be prompted for a password.  Once that's done, you might need to restart the samba daemons.  Mmmm...  Disclaimer:  I've been using Linux for a very, very long time, but Ubuntu for less than a month.
[11:23] <variant> judgen: well i don't know exactly what it is part of but i only have those repos and it is available to me
[11:23] <Alumin> the UI is probably dialog-based
[11:23] <Galga> ikonia, ok
[11:23] <variant> Alumin: cool, will check it out
[11:23] <theTrav> struggling through my ubuntu install, anyone know a good place to work out how to install drivers for my geforce 7700?
[11:23] <Alumin> variant: yeah, TightVNC ftw
[11:23] <theTrav> I found drivers in the package manager, but installing them doesn't seem to have any effect
[11:23] <variant> !nvidia | theTrav
[11:23] <ubotu> theTrav: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:23] <foug> i just installed Wine, can anyone tell me where I go to access it?
[11:23] <ikonia> judgen: don't forget to do apt-get update before apt-cache search
[11:23] <velko> thehumanerror: my parents use ubuntu and are 2000km away. the integrated vnc works pretty good
[11:24] <theTrav> thanks variant
[11:24] <variant> theTrav: see that link that ubotu just posted
[11:24] <variant> theTrav: np
[11:24] <thehumanerror> cool
[11:24] <foug> anyone? need to know how ot use Wine so I can install foobar
[11:24] <stefg> velko: How do you vonnect to your parents box? how do you know their IP?
[11:24] <YetiChick> foug:  wine is generally used from the command line.
[11:25] <ikonia> !wine >foug
[11:25] <Lin> ubuntu support WAP wifi encriptation on instalation?
[11:25] <thehumanerror> I thought I'd end up using VNC over SSH, although I've never tried to set it up, but I thought I'd check there wasn't a better way of doing it with X, as we're both using X
[11:25] <Alumin> foug: are you sure you wouldn't rather use one of the many native audio apps?
[11:25] <foug> YetiChick: i just started using linux a few days ago so i'm clueless as how to do any of that usually
[11:25] <Ollie|> YetiChick, thanks mate worked perfectly and share is now working
[11:25] <thehumanerror> WPA? Not WAP... yeah, I think so
[11:25] <foug> Alumin: i've tried many of them and didn't like any of them. They are too complex and most of them don't have equalizers
[11:25] <lockmist> It's... only working under in-addr.arpa.
[11:25] <YetiChick> Oliie:  Glad to help.
[11:25] <theTrav> hmm, that one said I needed a model starting with FX 5 or 6
[11:25] <velko> stefg: they have static ip. but even if that was not the case they could look it up on a page like www.myipaddress.com
[11:25] <theTrav> my model starts with GO 7700
[11:25] <theTrav> reckon it'll still work?
[11:25] <thehumanerror> do you mean, during the installation process, or immediately after installation?
[11:26] <Alumin> foug: fair enough...I was gonna suggest amaroK but that's probably in the "too complex" category :)
[11:26] <stefg> velko, so they would tell your their IP over the phone...
[11:26] <velko> stefg: after that they say "allow other users to use my desktop" and i issue "xvncviewer ip:0"
[11:26] <foug> Alumin: yea i didn't like amarok very much. Using Exiale atm and it's pretty allright but no equalizer
[11:26] <variant> foug: you tried rhythmbox? looks fairly simmilar to foobar as far as i see
[11:26] <kane77> what program can I use to regularly (hourly) do diff backup of selected folder??
[11:26] <foug> and my sound is really horrible atm. I think ubuntu didn't pick up my soundcard
[11:26] <velko> stefg: or irc chat or email, whatever. often we use skype for that
[11:27] <foug> variant: yea i tried, it won't load my songs for some reason.
[11:27] <Alumin> kane77: rdiff-backup
[11:27] <craigp84> iTunes is really poor. What's the best open source music tagging app? Something useable and fast?
[11:27] <billy> kane77: sbackup, perhaps.
[11:27] <Alumin> craigp84: just tagging?
[11:27] <Ollie|> is updating a website via a samba share ok or should I be using ftp from my lan?
[11:27] <velko> stefg: with the added bonus that we can chat as i show them stuff on the screen
[11:27] <craigp84> Alumin: Just tagging
[11:27] <variant> foug: well if you fix that hten you are sorted.. using proprietry software audio players when there really is no need != good
[11:27] <Lane_Rendell> Hello all, I just got finished installing 6.10, and when I boot up it says there is a problem with the X Windows Server
[11:27] <xipietotec> I'm trying to add a second hd as just extra space, I created an ext3 partition and mounted it to /media/hd2/ there appears to be a lost+found directory inside...owned by root....won't let me create a desktop folder location for this HD...what am I doing wrong?
[11:27] <Alumin> craigp84: there are several batch-mode command-line utils, id3 / id3ren / id3tool
[11:27] <foug> variant: so using foobar would be a bad thing?
[11:28] <Soli> velko: My mistake. You can totally install without network with the standard CDROM. I just had to ignore the red message.  It's installing right now.
[11:28] <thehumanerror> easytag is very good for media tagging
[11:28] <thehumanerror> I found
[11:28] <velko> Soli: cool :-)
[11:28] <variant> foug: depends what you mean by bad, if you don't mind non free softwarehten it's fine. for me it would suck
[11:28] <craigp84> Alumin: sounds good - can't find anything sensible in the gui world... any particular recomendations?
[11:28] <kane77> Alumin, thx I just found out I messed up some of the code I've been working on and realized I'd need backup... :)
[11:28] <YetiChick> Ollie:  You might have some problems with file permissions if you're not careful, but I've had Windows devs using Samba to put files on an Apache server before.
[11:28] <clouder`grr> I had my smb server working great for 27 days, and then I rebooted and now it won't show up in the windows network.  Any ideas?
[11:28] <singh> how can i customize my grub screen with splash and all.
[11:28] <foug> variant: foobar is free ;o
[11:28] <variant> foug: i would rather fix whatever was wrong with rhythmbox
[11:28] <RAW-mEAT> hello, will it be possible to update from ubuntu 7.04 beta up to the final ubuntu 7?
[11:28] <variant> foug: free as in freedom (aka open source)
[11:28] <billy> singh: grub splash?
[11:28] <stevethepirate> anyone know of a commandline music player?
[11:29] <mage> wheres a good place to ask a question about bash scripting and shell arguments?
[11:29] <variant> stevethepirate: "play"
[11:29] <Alumin> craigp84: well, I usually do mine by hand in amaroK, but I did use id3ren a couple of times and it worked well
[11:29] <jrib> RAW-mEAT: yes
[11:29] <stefg> !grub | singh
[11:29] <ubotu> singh: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:29] <craigp84> mage: what's your issue
[11:29] <foug> variant: o with my media player it wouldn't bother me. I just need it simple and clean, and even then rhytm box doesn't have an equalizer.
[11:29] <Alumin> er id3tool I mean
[11:29] <Alumin> id3ren is to rename from tags, not vice versa
[11:29] <singh> billy yes but how can i add images to it
[11:29] <variant> stevethepirate: cplay, aplay, mpeg123 etc etc
[11:29] <craigp84> Alumin: cool, cheers Alumin
[11:29] <mage> craigp84: I'm trying to add to $@
[11:29] <judgen> i freking hate my isp
[11:29] <variant> foug: didn't know that..
[11:29] <dreamcastjack> hey guys
[11:29] <variant> foug: amarok doesn't have one? are you sure?
[11:29] <foug> variant: :) do you know much about sound cards?
[11:29] <billy> singh: i didn't know there was a grub splash?  you mean the ubuntu boot splash?
[11:29] <foug> variant: mmm amarok was too complex for me
[11:29] <Ollie|> YetiChick, hand't thought about file perms, would you recommend proftp or wuftp?
[11:29] <stevethepirate> needs to play m4a's
[11:30] <singh> thanks a ton ubotu
[11:30] <YetiChick> clouder`grr:  Might seem like a dumb question, but are you sure the services are set to start on boot?
[11:30] <stefg> !ubotu | singh
[11:30] <ubotu> singh: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[11:30] <vox754> !thanks > singh
[11:30] <clouder`grr> yeah it's running fine I can smbclient into it from the local machine
[11:30] <variant> foug: looks like rhythmbox will have an eq next stable release
[11:31] <singh> well also how can i change my console fonts
[11:31] <YetiChick> Ollie:  I've a bit of a prejudice against wuftpd.  I tend to use either pureftpd or proftpd, depending on the distribuition.
[11:31] <Alumin> Ollie|: proftpd is more capable than wu-ftpd...although for simple serving they're both fine
[11:31] <singh> any ideas are welcome with some good fonts
[11:31] <foug> variant: ahhh, well until then i think i'll go back to foobar. Foobar was also a lot faster at loading my songs than any of the linux programs. When I open up Exiale I have to wait a few seconds for all my songs to load
[11:31] <Alumin> singh: I like plain "vga"
[11:31] <craigp84> mage: it's a read only var
[11:31] <lockmist> Foobar2000 is rather nice...
[11:31] <Alumin> or "vga11x19", depending on resolution
[11:31] <singh> well Alumin i don't
[11:31] <Alumin> heh
[11:31] <lockmist> Shame it's not open-source, really.
[11:32] <variant> foug: fair enough
[11:32] <Alumin> vga isn't the default font btw
[11:32] <foug> variant: do you know much about osund cards?
[11:32] <mage> re he heally
[11:32] <lockmist> It's one of those programs that ought to be, but you're surprised to find out actually isn't.
[11:32] <Alumin> if that's what you thought I meant
[11:32] <Ollie|> I have heard that proftp has some major security issues, is this true?
[11:32] <lockmist> Yes.
[11:32] <variant> foug: exiale is beta software afaik.. as for the other software, yes i agree some of it can be a bit slow at loading huge playlists..
[11:32] <CurleySue> hi all, need help with registration failure + sound test failure on ekiga
[11:32] <variant> foug: a little here and there, whats the problem??
[11:32] <rambo3> then you wont belive what we have in store for you : #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:32] <stevethepirate> NEEDS TO PLAY M4A's tooooooooooooooooooooo
[11:32] <stevethepirate> and mp3's
[11:32] <stevethepirate> and wma's
[11:33] <jrib> !mp3 > stevethepirate    (stevethepirate, see the private message from ubotu)
[11:33] <variant> stevethepirate: please don't spam/flood
[11:33] <_dwezel_> is there a linux equivalent to gotomypc?  I mean a gateway, not an rdp client
[11:33] <rambo3> M4A is that a rifle ?
[11:33] <foug> variant: well, ever since i installed linux my sound has been awful. If I turn the volume up all the way through Exiale, it sounds really distorted, lots of static and what not.
[11:33] <variant> stevethepirate: if you have a question just ask
[11:33] <stevethepirate> sorry. but it is less than 3 lines
[11:33] <variant> foug: what card?
[11:33] <preaction> stevethepirate: it's still annoying and disruptive.
[11:33] <foug> variant: creative labs sound blaster 16bit PCI i think
[11:33] <clouder`grr> YetiChick: any other ideas? I'll take anything atm
[11:33] <mdma> what i do to make my cabel connect each  time i log into ubuntu ?
[11:33] <variant> stevethepirate: it is also meaningless
[11:33] <Alumin> _dwezel_: not that I know of...would be a good feature for a vnc server though
[11:33] <Alumin> "relay mode"
[11:33] <variant> !enter | stevethepirate
[11:33] <deftonesgirl> ok so i got ubuntu to recognise the linux-swap partition, but it still hasn't been mounted. How can I get it to work and load at startup?
[11:33] <ubotu> stevethepirate: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:33] <stevethepirate> okay. I need a commandline music player that can handle m4a's and mp3's
[11:34] <stevethepirate> Sorry.
[11:34] <lockmist> rambo3: M4A (MPEG-4 Audio) generally refers to Apple's unprotected AAC-wrapped-in-an-MPEG-4-container audio format.
[11:34] <YetiChick> Ollie:  Most ftp servers have had issues at one time or another.  You have to keep on top of them.
[11:34] <Alumin> stevethepirate: mplayer
[11:34] <variant> deftonesgirl: swap never gets mounted, linux detects it at boot
[11:34] <billy> stevethepirate: mpeg123 will play mp3's,.
[11:34] <stevethepirate> I know that
[11:34] <velko> stevethepirate: not exactly music player but mplayer does it
[11:34] <_dwezel_> alumin:  Is that what they call it?  Its not called a proxy or gateway?
[11:34] <stevethepirate> in commandline?
[11:34] <compengi_> i need to install xml for my webpage what should i install?
[11:34] <velko> stevethepirate: yes
[11:34] <deftonesgirl> yea, shouldn't it swap on at startup
[11:34] <The3Infinit3On3> Hey guys, If I was to download 7.04 BETA would it be easy to upgrade to FULL 7.04 when it comes out on the 19th?
[11:34] <velko> stevethepirate: and plays streams too
[11:34] <nikin> !codec
[11:34] <mdma> how do i make my internet auto connect each time i open ubuntu ?

[11:35] <preaction> compengi_: you don't "install" xml, you just use it
[11:35] <variant> stevethepirate: mplayer yes, the "mplayer" you get when you select it from the menu is actually gmplayer
[11:35] <chieh> how do I become a registered member of freenode?
[11:35] <rambo3> no i think its a rifle
[11:35] <YetiChick> clouder`grr:  Did you check to see if the services are running?  If so, I missed your reply.  Can you connect to the machine by IP or by name?  I assume you mean that you can not browse to it.
[11:35] <stevethepirate> mplayer is sweet. ta.
[11:35] <stevethepirate> what else does it play?
[11:35] <compengi_> Server Status: 	Server is currently down. Get XML

[11:35] <foug> Does anyone have a link to what all the folders mean for linux? like bin, dev etc
[11:35] <variant> stevethepirate: any audio/video format except that which is infected with drm
[11:35] <bruenig> foug, google linux filesystem
[11:35] <mdma> how do i make my internet auto connect each time i open ubuntu ?
[11:36] <velko> stevethepirate: almost everything you can think of
[11:36] <foug> bruenig: thanks
[11:36] <variant> foug: yeah, there is somehting along those lines on wikipedia iirc
[11:36] <preaction> compengi_: that looks like a software issue, what software are you using?
[11:36] <bruenig> mdma, what does it take to connect now, is there some command
[11:36] <mdma> yes
[11:36] <bruenig> mdma, what is that command
[11:36] <mdma> bruenig: yes
[11:36] <compengi_> preaction, shoutcast
[11:36] <deftonesgirl> varient, shouldn't it swap on at startup
[11:36] <foug> variant: word, did you see which soundcard i had?
[11:36] <mdma> sudo cable-start
[11:36] <stevethepirate> Is there a decent commandline like actual music player?
[11:36] <billy> foug: http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/l4/lesson4c.html
[11:36] <variant> deftonesgirl: at boot time it will "detecting swap partitions"
[11:36] <stevethepirate> Like with playlist's, search, etc?
[11:36] <Agrajag> stevethepirate: mpd + ncmpc
[11:36] <stevethepirate> ta
[11:36] <variant> deftonesgirl: you dont mount swap, it's not that kind of file system
[11:36] <judgen> what do i need to us to make the fonts of gtk1 applications antialiased?
[11:36] <preaction> compengi: sounds like a support issue you might need to bring up with them. some dependancy didn't get installed perhaps.
[11:37] <foug> billy: nice
[11:37] <mdma> bruenig:  sudo cable-start
[11:37] <bruenig> mdma, you may try adding that just the "cable-start" part (no sudo) to /etc/rc.local (make sure you put it before the exit 0
[11:37] <brussel> Anybody know where on Ubuntu 6.10 you'd install the smarty library files?
[11:37] <variant> deftonesgirl: ify ou type free -m you will see how much memory + swap is active
[11:37] <skar> hi, i've got winxp running inside vmware on a ubuntu host, using bridged eth0, my ubuntu's IP is <IP_ADDRESS>, and  winxp runs as <IP_ADDRESS>, i can ping ubuntu from winxp, but not the other way around, how to make packets from ubuntu reach the winxp through the vmnet0 bridge device
[11:37] <variant> foug: sorry, didn't see it
[11:37] <preaction> deftonesgirl: mount means "put a filesystem somewhere in the directory tree", swap never gets mounted. it gets activated, sure.
[11:37] <sacater> brussel: are you using synaptic
[11:37] <foug> variant: i think it's a creative labs sound blaster 16bit
[11:37] <craigp84> mage: been playing around to confirm, you cat set -- it
[11:37] <billy> foug: feel free to go through that entire tutorial.  maybe a bit outdated, but it's solid.
[11:37] <sacater> brussel: the would get put in /usr/lib i imagine
[11:37] <lockmist> skar: Is that because you've got the XP firewall turned on?
[11:37] <brussel> sacater, I could
[11:37] <variant> foug: ok, 2 seks

[11:37] <foug> variant: rgr
[11:38] <deftonesgirl> it lists no swap
[11:38] <brussel> sacater, i'll give synaptic a try
[11:38] <sacater> brussel: are you compiling from source instead, as they might go to /usr/local/lib

[11:38] <bruenig> brussel, to add all the extra official repositories and install smarty, make sure synaptic, update-manager, or any other package managers are closed, open a terminal (applications>accessories>terminal) and copy and paste the following all at once:

[11:42] <foug> variant: nvidia corporation nForce3 250GB AC'97 Audio Controler
[11:42] <variant> deftonesgirl: in future it will _probably_ be auto detected but you should still (CAREFULLY) add it to /etc/fstab
[11:42] <YetiChick> clouder`grr:  Okay
[11:42] <variant> foug: then thats what you ahve for audio
[11:42] <foug> variant: yea that's what i have, when i had Windows i always downloaded AC97n drivers
[11:43] <stevethepirate> can some1 help me with ntfs reading/writing?
[11:43] <foug> variant: k, is there a way to get updated drivers? maybe by typing in a command through terminal? that's what i did for my vid card
[11:43] <roll> bruenig: i am talking abou the utility i used long time ago. it was xorgconfig, or something like that

[11:45] <stevethepirate> dude
[11:45] <stevethepirate> done that.
[11:45] <stevethepirate> in fact
[11:45] <lockmist> ...then it should be there.
[11:45] <clouder`grr> YetiChick: Mmm, not that I know of.  How would I check?
[11:45] <bruenig> kane77, you don't need sudo to cd, I got that same error when I tried to sudo cd
[11:45] <stevethepirate> heres the line from fstab -- >
[11:46] <uric> I ruined my /etc/issue file, can anyone give me the content, plz. its just one line, but I cant remnber what it was...
[11:46] <variant> stevethepirate: and if you type for example: touch /media/WHEREYOUMOuntEDNTFSPART/atestfile
[11:46] <variant> stevethepirate: what does it say?
[11:46] <bruenig> Ubuntu 6.10 \n \l
[11:46] <kane77> bruenig, I need for /var/backup/ i guess...
[11:46] <lockmist> If you get an error that it needs to be checked before mounting, try ntfsfix on it, and then add force to the options.
[11:46] <MarkFeathers> Can write me a sed script to parse a file for mac addresses?  I need to take a tcpdump and create a file that has one mac address on each line

[11:47] <neighborlee> just curiious , why is ubuntu sponsoiring work on noueau project considering that MOST users find the nvidia drivers totally useable and stable ? ;)) ( I worry it will alienate nvidai against us , and maybe other vendors will worry they are next! )
[11:47] <vio> why can't anyone connect to me when i use the valknut?
[11:47] <YetiChick> stevethepirate:  Not sure it it will be of help, but in Gentoo, I wasunable touse the locale en_US for ntfs-3g.  I had to use en_GB.

[11:49] <neighborlee> wiseelben, or make them totally stop supportingus
[11:49] <stevethepirate> did that.. not if i cd into that mount point...
[11:49] <nikin> crimeboy, and using firefox+amsn+htop+2 xterms it uses 120 MB RAM
[11:49] <clouder`grr> YetiChick: perhaps I should look into this :X
[11:49] <stevethepirate> and i can read perfectly.

[11:49] <efface> quick question, when i boot my comp, it is loading an older module of nvidia....so X wont load, so i have to go to term and rmmod nvidia, modprobe nvidia, gdm start.  How can i fix this problem?
[11:49] <neighborlee> wiseelben, considering we are what a TINY fractoin of destop market atm ;)
[11:49] <YetiChick> clouder`grr: Sounds like you have a firewall.

[11:50] <skar> lockmist: thanks, got it working, the bridge wasn't correctly set now its working fine :)
[11:50] <bruenig> MarkFeathers, and the letters are capitalized right?
[11:50] <neighborlee> vox754, why is that..its part of ubuntu is it not ?
[11:50] <efface> variant: because the driver did not uninstall the older version right?
[11:50] <wiseelben> neighborlee: well, i think of it as free market and competition. More competitors results in lower prices and better products
[11:50] <stefg> efface: sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx ?
[11:50] <dyrne> efface: you have restricted-modules installed?

[11:51] <efface> dyme, im a semi noob....so not sure how to answer that :P
[11:51] <clouder`grr> YetiChick: would the firewall also prevent me from seeing my share in nautilus?
[11:51] <variant> bet time, later all
[11:51] <Ollie|> I have added the following line to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
[11:51] <YetiChick> clouder`grr: Quite possibly.
[11:51] <nikin> crimeboy, its nice.. but it needs some extra tweeking maybe a human like theme for ICEWM
[11:52] <bruenig> MarkFeathers, ok, probably not the most elegant of things, but works, cat file | grep [0-9a-f] [0-9a-f] :[0-9a-f] [0-9a-f] :[0-9a-f] [0-9a-f] :[0-9a-f] [0-9a-f] :[0-9a-f] [0-9a-f] :[0-9a-f] [0-9a-f]

[11:52] <Tubez> Hey guys.
[11:52] <wiseelben> pagan0ne: if you don't have the /dev/hdx or /dev/sdx, then the system isn't even reconizing those partitions at all
[11:52] <pagan0ne> wiseelben: i have ntfs-config installed, but i guess the more pressing question would be, why dont i see anything like hda or hdb in /dev/ ?
[11:53] <crimeboy> nikin: i have make thems for ice, but im lost them
[11:53] <Tubez> If i want to set up a traffic shaper (tc) ruleset, where's the best place to dump it? It's for an eth device.

[11:55] <Tubez> I'd like to set up a traffic shaper (tc) ruleset, where's the best place to dump it? /etc/rc.local seems crude. Is there a file that's executed when a device comes up in the default init scripts that I can add my ruleset to?
[11:55] <pagan0ne> wiseelben: my mobo was made before sata even existed

[11:56] <foug> when feisty fawn comes out, will it fix the bugs i'm having when i upgrade?
[11:56] <pagan0ne> wiseelben: so did i, but it kinda explains alot
