[03:35] <Ausylo> k, i'll PM ya
[03:35] <jrib> bluebanana: no, I don't think so (I have not used synaptic lately).  If you use 'aptitude' to install and remove it will though.  Or you can try 'sudo apt-get autoremove'
[03:35] <lancerdragoon> cat /etc/issue
[03:35] <chadeldridg2> Is there any ftp client out for ubuntu that is similar to FlashFXP ?
[03:35] <lockdown2> jrattner, cat /etc/*-release
[03:35] <notjohndoc> jrib, that got it, thanks for the help
[03:35] <linos> Music_Shuffle: thanks
[03:35] <notjohndoc> jrib: I also apologize for that
[03:35] <jrattner> lockdown2, what is the nickname for 7.04?
[03:35] <bluebanana> ok. So people could get stuck with a lot of unused packages just taking up space in one's hard drive
[03:35] <Music_Shuffle> linos, GL.
[03:35] <nj786> pelo, i did
[03:35] <jrib> notjohndoc: np, thanks for understanding
[03:35] <Ausylo> enviouz: i gotta be registered i guess
[03:35] <nj786> i cannot
[03:35] <fisherhome> what process during the booting of a liveCD do you think would cause my laptop screen to do a weird black to white fade and the machine become locked solid?  it happens on any version (64/32, live/alternate, safe/normal graphics mode)  it's a new hp tx 1000 (turon 64 x2 / 2gb)
[03:35] <lockdown2> jrattner, feisty fawn i believe
[03:36] <Jordan_U> linos, ##electronics
[03:36] <Pelo> nj786, upload a screenshot of your desktop so I can have a look
[03:36] <kitche> jrib: well he didn't relize his hostmask also had it in there
[03:36] <Brady> can anyone help me out with installing something or shall I stay on hold?
[03:36] <alecw2>  How can I start Compiz-Fusion so it doesn't have the black screen bug?
[03:36] <Gadget> Does anyone know of a successful Ubuntu Feisty install on a Motion LE1600 Tablet??? or at least how to get sount to work?
[03:36] <notjohndoc> Brady, what are you installing?
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> Brady: well what do you want to install.
[03:36] <Gadget> *sound
[03:36] <fisherhome> brady what are you trying to install?
[03:36] <fisherhome> wow duh.
[03:36] <bulmer> fisherhome am guessing its when it uses vga mode
[03:37] <kitche> alecw2: umm check the compiz-fusion site I don't know how it's started yet but it probably tells you about it
[03:37] <Brady> I am trying to install anything and I get this error message: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure-a' to correct the problem
[03:37] <notjohndoc> gadget, what kind of card do you have?
[03:37] <knotgifted> How can I enable a program (e.g. Tilda) to run when I boot up/log in?
[03:37] <fisherhome> it's a touch screen.. can i force it to use something else?
[03:37] <Jordan_U> Brady, run: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[03:37] <Brady> from the terminal?
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> Brady: so why didn't you run it?
[03:37] <Jordan_U> Brady, Yes
[03:37] <alecw2> ktche, what is the site?
[03:37] <lancerdragoon> knotgifted: Preferences -> Sessions
[03:37] <chadeldridg2> Can anyone suggest a ftp client other than gftp .. it sucks horribly
[03:37] <jvolkman> chadeldridg2, you can just use nautilus
[03:37] <Brady> and then it will allow me to install the other packages that I am trying to install?
[03:37] <fisherhome> hehe don't be afraid of the terminal
[03:37] <fisherhome> it is your friend
[03:37] <chadeldridg2> thats even worse
[03:37] <Brady> haha
[03:37] <Gadget> notjohndoc: it's a Sigmatel  STAC 9758,59
[03:37] <Jordan_U> Brady, Yes
[03:37] <kitche> alecw2: opencompositing.org it seems
[03:37] <enviouz> well Ausylo its really simple. when your pc boots there is a screen that lasts about 10 secs. it will list your kernels. hit esc there. then highlight your kernel and hit e. highlight it again and hit e. at the end type linux noapic. then hit enter follwed by b to boot.
[03:38] <Brady> ok I will give that a try right now and tell you how it goes
[03:38] <imbecile> how do i add trevinos repo? ppppllleeeaassseee and thank you.. i'm in a huge hurry
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> chadeldridg2: maybe you can run the windows ftp client you prefer in wine?
[03:38] <chadeldridg2> need something that actually handles files and ftp functions correctly ... ie the move function
[03:38] <fisherhome> ubuntu is relatively breakproof with the auto root-off feature
[03:38] <fisherhome> er default root account off i should say
[03:38] <chadeldridg2> indygunfreak:  hadnt thought of that .. worth a try i guess
[03:38] <Master_Z> notjohndoc: my sound card is of the same type as his (mine is sigmatel stac9200) and I also have NO sound
[03:38] <jvolkman> chadeldridg2, what kind of features are you looking for?
[03:38] <notjohndoc> sorry gadget, i don't know anything about that card, but i had some horrible trouble with my laptop sound as well
[03:39] <Gadget> Master_Z, what type of computer?
[03:39] <Jordan_U> imbecile, System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[03:39] <CppIsWeird> is there a very simple ERD database design tool? (like i dont want it to do anything accept a gui to graphically design a database)
[03:39] <notjohndoc> the quick fix was to upgrade the kernel, i really wouldn't suggest that though
[03:39] <enviouz> Ausylo:  your pc still boots fine though right?
[03:39] <Gadget> Yeah it's integrated Laptop sound
[03:39] <Master_Z> gadget: gateway mt3705 notebook
[03:39] <chadeldridg2> jvolkman:  neither nautalis or gftp seem to support the move function and i have a massive amount of files on ftp that need to be shuffled around
[03:39] <fisherhome> good old integrated stuff
[03:39] <Gadget> It's the ONLY thing keeping me back on Ubuntu
[03:39] <fisherhome> realtek finally made that standable
[03:39] <Gadget> Yeah my Desktop is Realtek, not bad
[03:40] <Ausylo> enviouz: ok did that
[03:40] <Grim76> chadeldridg2: There was a port of Filezilla to debian I don't know if it made it to Ubuntu, but that might make you more comfortable
[03:40] <Master_Z> gadget: same, I love everything about ubuntu  except I lack sound :(
[03:40] <notjohndoc> my laptop is realteck high def...not fun
[03:40] <Ausylo> enviouz: rebooting now
[03:40] <mtbosworth> ok, so when I try to connect from my windows laptop (using putty) is says "Network Error: Software caused connection to abort"
[03:40] <Ausylo> enviouz: wow, it worked
[03:40] <Brady> hahaha thanks guys that worked like a charm, I thought I tried it before but I guess I typed it in wrong now I can install anything I want thanks again
[03:40] <Ausylo> enviouz: sweet
[03:40] <enviouz> Ausylo:  your pc still boots fine before right?
[03:40] <chadeldridg2> its just really odd that windows has a better selection of ftp clients ..
[03:40] <Brady> goodbye
[03:40] <fisherhome> awesome brady =]
[03:40] <chadeldridg2> thanks for your ideas
[03:40] <dmb> any way to have the window list not blink (notification blink) when a mouse wheel scrolls the windows?
[03:40] <fisherhome> now go enjoy Synaptic
[03:40] <Gadget> Master_z, what types of things have you done to try and get sound working?
[03:40] <lockdown2> chadeldridg2, command line ftp is the way to go
[03:41] <cvd> where is the soruce list located?
[03:41] <notjohndoc> anyone know what i could do about having sound through my headphones and my internal pc speakers at the same time
[03:41] <cvd> source
[03:41] <Skycloud> Does anybody here use crossover and play Warcraft 3?
[03:41] <dmb> any way to have the window list not blink (notification blink) in gnome panel when a mouse wheel scrolls the windows?
[03:41] <jrib> cvd: /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:41] <notjohndoc> Skycloud: yeah
[03:41] <Grim76> lockdown2: agreed cli ftp rules
[03:41] <cvd> thx
[03:41] <chadeldridg2> lockdown2:  true ... but i get annoyed with it easy  .. and flashfxp has me spoiled
[03:41] <Master_Z> gadget: basic things really, went into terminal and did a few things (sudo modprobes), switched to alsa mixer, made sure it was unmuted, reinstalled the driver, etc.
[03:41] <Skycloud> notjohndoc: I'm having trouble installing the expansion, it says that I don't have the regular game installed, what do I do
[03:41] <alienseer23> I have an hp all-in-one printer that has a  slew of media reader slots on it, I used to be able to just put in an SD card and it would mout right away, but it is not mounting, or showing up anywhere I can see, how do I get access to this card thru my all-in-one again?
[03:42] <notjohndoc> Skycloud: sorry man, i don't have the expansion, but i'll do some research for you
[03:42] <Skycloud> notjohndoc: ok thanks
[03:42] <mtbosworth> ok, so when I try to connect from my windows laptop (using putty) is says "Network Error: Software caused connection to abort"
[03:42] <enviouz> alienseer23: not sure. i have to use the slots on my pc
[03:43] <mtbosworth> putty is looking for port 22 on my ubuntu machine
[03:43] <fisherhome> so how do you think i can get this notebook to do anything except cost me money?
[03:43] <Jordan_U> mtbosworth, Do you have openssh installed?
[03:43] <notjohndoc> Skycloud: can you give me your exact error word for word?
[03:43] <chadeldridg2> filezilla does seem to work well in wine .. so ill just use that for now.. thanks
[03:43] <mtbosworth> yeah
[03:43] <fisherhome> hp is punishing me bc microsoft is punishing them
[03:43] <Jordan_U> mtbosworth, server, not just client?
[03:43] <kitche> Jordan_U: it's not binding to port 22
[03:43] <Master_Z> gadget: you'd think it would work since I did those things, yet I lack sound :(
[03:43] <ko12upt> hey guys im stuck at failsafe log in and using bitx so can someone give me a hand? When i login regular i cant get it in zeals up.
[03:43] <Skycloud> notjohndoc: it's not really an error, but when I try to install the expansion, the expansion game tells me to install Warcraft 3 first
[03:44] <AnObfuscator> Hi, is the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel in Ubuntu Desktop compiled with Physical Address Extension support?
[03:44] <enviouz> fisherhome:  what problem are you having? i too have hp but its a desktop
[03:44] <mtbosworth> yeah, using nmap I can see it running on port 22
[03:44] <ko12upt> i can see the desktop tan background and a grey square about 300x300 pixles in the top left
[03:44] <mtbosworth> so its up
[03:44] <mtbosworth> I just can't connect
[03:44] <fisherhome> mines a new notebook, a pavilion tx 1000
[03:44] <Ausylo> enviouz: do you know anything about getting a broadcom wireless adapter working with 7.04?
[03:44] <Grim76> chadeldridg2:  try apt-get install filezilla there is a port into Ubuntu
[03:44] <fisherhome> it wont take any form of ubuntu
[03:44] <fisherhome> it's brand spanking new too
[03:45] <fisherhome> turin 64 x2, 2gb, the works
[03:45] <fisherhome> turon*
[03:45] <enviouz> Ausylo:  naw i dont use wireless
[03:45] <ko12upt> ausylo
[03:45] <Ausylo> enviouz: ok
[03:45] <Skycloud> notjohndoc: should I reboot the computer? It should work because crossover emulates a windows reboot doesnt it?
[03:45] <ko12upt> i can get it working
[03:45] <Ausylo> ok
[03:45] <Jordan_U> Ausylo, Install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[03:45] <ko12upt> get the driver from broad com
[03:45] <mtbosworth> if I try and connect from the same machine (ssh [ip]  ) then it says "Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer"
[03:45] <ko12upt> yes
[03:45] <ko12upt> thats it
[03:45] <enviouz> fisherhome:  if its like brand new as in a new model the kernel may not support it yet
[03:45] <fisherhome> broadcom doesnt support direct to consumer
[03:45] <ko12upt> bcm43xx-fwcutter thats all you need
[03:45] <fisherhome> believe me, i tried that from every angel
[03:45] <Ausylo> ok
[03:46] <ko12upt> and ndiswrapper i think
[03:46] <fisherhome> angle*
[03:46] <Ausylo> so just throw the file on a thumbdrive and copy it?
[03:46] <Gadget> Any one use a tablet PC?
[03:46] <fisherhome> enviouz, it could be, yeh but its hard to believe it'd be too new for linux
[03:46] <ko12upt> ausylo goto package manager
[03:46] <Jordan_U> ko12upt, No, ndiswrapper is not required ( or desired )
[03:46] <ko12upt> and search for that cutter thing
[03:46] <Ausylo> where is that at, im new
[03:46] <Ausylo> to ubuntu
[03:46] <ko12upt> i cant scroll up im stuck at terminal
[03:46] <enviouz> well i had the same prob with my pc up until the latest versions of ubuntu and fedora
[03:46] <Jordan_U> !synaptic > Ausylo
[03:46] <ko12upt> :)
[03:47] <mtbosworth> if I try and connect from the same machine (ssh [ip]  ) then it says "Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer"
[03:47] <Sidey> msl: to mount the cd rom is mount /dev/cdrom right?
[03:47] <mtbosworth> would it be something in my config settings for ssh?
[03:47] <enviouz> fisherhome:  getting spinlock bug?
[03:47] <fisherhome> there is also no XP support so i cant install anything but CRAPsta
[03:47] <bluebanana> how do i make a new directory?
[03:47] <johndoc> wait wait wait Skycloud, it tells you to install Warcraft 3 first?
[03:47] <fisherhome> not sure what that is
[03:47] <bluebanana> how do i make a new directory in terminal??
[03:47] <fisherhome> mkdir
[03:47] <lancerdragoon> bluebanana: mkdir <name of dir>
[03:47] <bluebanana> thanks
[03:47] <fisherhome> ^ how to make directory
[03:47] <jrib> !cli > bluebanana (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:47] <fisherhome> k
[03:47] <Skycloud> johndoc: Never mind I think I found the problem, let me check
[03:47] <johndoc> ok
[03:48] <bluebanana> jrib, thanks!
[03:48] <ko12upt> i need some help also i thought i would help while waiting i need to get into my gui when i boot my machine reg. it zeals up freezes after i enter the log in and pass i get to the desktop and see the tan color but it also shows a grey box top left corner
[03:48] <Skycloud> johndoc: Yup I found it out, I wasnt using the same bottle, I had to use the same bottle that WC3 is using
[03:48] <bzaks> how can you tell if the CD you have is the 64bit vs the 32 bit version?
[03:48] <johndoc> Skycloud: have you used burning crusade before?
[03:48] <Ausylo> ko12upt: i tried the sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter command in terminal and it came back with couldnt find package
[03:48] <jrib> bzaks: check the md5sum?
[03:48] <Skycloud> johndoc: yeah, I get errors sometimes though and my computer reboots for some reason on WoW
[03:48] <fisherhome> it just a bizzare video show.. it's a touch screen tablet style so the screen goes from black to white in this slow wave across the screen as the pixels appear to be melting
[03:48] <shane_> Hey - I'm looking for a wireless PCI card that works well with Ubuntu Feisty - does anybody have any recommendations?
[03:48] <bzaks> okay
[03:48] <Jordan_U> Ausylo, You need to enable the universe repository
[03:49] <fisherhome> then of course it does nothing, and just sits there.
[03:49] <bzaks> jrib, can you tell me how?
[03:49] <ko12upt> auso univer repo
[03:49] <ko12upt> main server
[03:49] <jrib> bzaks: if it's a desktop cd you could boot it and run 'uname -a' too
[03:49] <johndoc> Skycloud: what does burning crusade do? is it worth the 50 bucks?
[03:49] <Sidey> shane_:  most of the 3com's are easy detected
[03:49] <iMayKnow> shane_, the foxconn cards work pretty well
[03:49] <enviouz> i got the spinlock bug on previous versions of ubuntu and fedora. this was due to hp using damn ati chipset though (was all in the ide and sata controller
[03:49] <Ausylo> can you tell me how to do that
[03:49] <Jordan_U> Ausylo, System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[03:49] <Sidey> old but they work well
[03:49] <iMayKnow> and they're cheap
[03:49] <bzaks> sweet!
[03:49] <Fenyx> Hello everyone!
[03:49] <bzaks> thanks Jrib!
[03:49] <ko12upt> admin then packman then look at the top

[03:50] <Skycloud> johndoc: thx 14 in six hours ^.^
[03:50] <fisherhome> idk all i know is it sucks and this brand new machine is a brick to me
[03:50] <Ausylo> Jordan_U: ok im in there now, now what
[03:50] <imbecile> pleeeaaassse... what file do i use to edit repos?
[03:50] <fisherhome> as soon as the recovery media comes back, i'm ebaying this son of a bitch
[03:51] <johndoc> skycloud: you have a long hard road ahead of you, enjoy the next few years as much as possible
[03:51] <enviouz> one thing you may try is linux ide=nodma
[03:51] <lancerdragoon> imbecile: /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:51] <Jordan_U> Ausylo, Check the box next to community maintained software
[03:51] <fisherhome> i already ordered a dell w/ ubuntu on it
[03:51] <enviouz> ahh ic
[03:51] <fisherhome> on digg today, by the way
[03:51] <SAM_theman> !Ekgia
[03:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ekgia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:51] <mtbosworth> so if I try to connect to my ssh server is says "Connection reset by peer"
[03:51] <Ausylo> it was checked, uncheck it?
[03:51] <bzaks> So if I have no internet but wireless, and I have the ndiswrapper-util (1.9) and the latest ndiswrapper-common deb files, plus my broadcom drivers (bcmwl5.inf and sys), can someone please walk me through all this?
[03:51] <SAM_theman> !Ekiga
[03:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ekiga - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:51] <imbecile> lancerdragoon,  tyvm
[03:51] <Ausylo> Jordan_U: it was already checked, uncheck it?
[03:51] <lancerdragoon> np
[03:51] <bzaks> I tried several tuts and got no where
[03:51] <iMayKnow> imbecile, you can also use synaptic or system -> admin -> software sources
[03:51] <Skycloud> johndoc: its gonna be great, I'm going to a good private high school for Science and Technology ^.^
[03:51] <Jordan_U> Ausylo, No, keep it checked
[03:51] <Ausylo> Jordan_U: okay, now what
[03:52] <cvd> any use the backports?
[03:52] <fisherhome> enviouz, how do you do that?
[03:52] <fisherhome> the ide=nodma thing
[03:52] <Gadget> what's the best way to re-install alsa?
[03:52] <fisherhome> would i enter that as bootup?
[03:52] <Skycloud> johndoc: do you know where C:\program files is on here?
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> Gadget: synaptic?
[03:52] <johndoc> hmm...i did, hang on and let me check
[03:52] <Jordan_U> Ausylo, That means you must have spelled it wrong, copy and paste: sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[03:52] <enviouz> when the cd boots hit f6 then remove splash and quite. and add linux ide=nodma to the end
[03:53] <Gadget> okay yea synaptic
[03:53] <Fenyx> I'm trying to get Subversion and Apache working together. But I keep getting <m:human-readable errcode="13">
[03:53] <Fenyx> Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
 whenever I go to the URL for the repository. I've gone through half a dozen how-tos and always get the same thing. Any ideas?
[03:53] <Sidey> trying again. whats the command to mount cd rom?
[03:53] <fisherhome> you don't say, eh?  i may try that right now since this piece of shot is not doing anything
[03:53] <enviouz> at one time i had to use almost 15 switchs at boot to get mine to boot
[03:53] <Gadget> Does anyon know why the process on this webpage makes my sound driver go away?? :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[03:53] <Ausylo> Jordan_U: tried it again and same error, couldnt find package
[03:54] <enviouz> also removing splash and quite will let you read the output for any errors
[03:54] <Jordan_U> Ausylo, Try "sudo apt-get update"
[03:54] <Ausylo> k
[03:54] <Jordan_U> Ausylo, Then try installing again
[03:54] <MrXorg> Can someone help me with xorg I made a big mistake
[03:54] <Jordan_U> MrXorg, What mistake?
[03:54] <mtbosworth> my problem is trying to ssh into my machine
[03:54] <Shadowpillar> okay
[03:54] <Shadowpillar> I want to know something
[03:55] <imbecile> iMayKnow,  how do i add trevino repo with software sources?
[03:55] <Shadowpillar> why does network manager keep switching my connection despite the stability of the connection?
[03:55] <mtbosworth> it says "connection reset by peer"
[03:55] <Shadowpillar> it keeps putting me on a dead interface
[03:55] <Ausylo> Jordan_U: lots of failed to fetch errors, im not on the internet yet
[03:55] <enviouz> fisherhome:  a note though. if you are using ide and add linux ide=nodma disk access will be super slow
[03:55] <Shadowpillar> every 5 minutes it'll switch me to a dead interface and cut my connection off
[03:55] <fisherhome> here goes nothing envious =]
[03:55] <fisherhome> no, it's SATA
[03:55] <Shadowpillar> for no reason
[03:55] <MrXorg> Jordon_U: I replaced my file with someone else's that looked like mine to get svideo working
[03:55] <Jordan_U> Ausylo, You need to be connected to the internet or grab the firmware from another computer that is
[03:56] <Jordan_U> MrXorg, Did you back up your old one?
[03:56] <enviouz> umm that switch may still woirk but if not i do know there is a sata switch but i cant remember what it is
[03:56] <alex__> hey, i'm having some trouble with my windows network, i can't seem to open any of the both windows computer i share the network with
[03:56] <Ausylo> Jordan_U: okay, ill just hook up wired and do that then
[03:56] <msl> bzaks: I can try and walk you through it
[03:56] <alex__> how can i fix this?
[03:56] <mfpockets> hey
[03:56] <Shadowpillar> alex__: are you in the same domain?
[03:56] <bzaks> thanks msl
[03:56] <bzaks> I really appreciate it
[03:56] <Gadget> How do I get Ubuntu to recognize my integrated Bluetooth?

[04:00] <ko12upt> gadget sudo passwd
[04:00] <mfpockets> gadget: you can enable logging in as admin then on initial login log in as root originally
[04:00] <enviouz> note it should be linux not linex
[04:01] <bzaks> this is actually a surprise for my GF
[04:01] <tritium> Gadget: better to use "sudo -i" to get a root shell
[04:01] <bzaks> she just got a new hd
[04:01] <Jordan_U> bzaks, The .deb for bcm43xx-fwcutter still needs you to be connected to the Internet because it grabs the firmware from broadcom's site
[04:01] <bzaks> and I wanted to show her linux
[04:01] <bzaks> damnit
[04:01] <bzaks> I can download package only on this computer right?
[04:01] <Jordan_U> bzaks, What do you mean?
[04:01] <unagi> !maya
[04:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about maya - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:02] <bzaks> oops
[04:02] <Gadget> So I don't get it fully : do I use "sudo -i passwd"??
[04:02] <enviouz> also fisherhome what chipset do you have?
[04:02] <cvd> after a compile  and ready to install , ca i create a .deb from that?
[04:02] <Jordan_U> bzaks, No, you need to be connected to the internet to do it automatically, I can give you a link to the firmware though, you just need to put it in /lib/firmware
[04:02] <bzaks> so how do I get around the fwcutter problem?
[04:03] <bzaks> okay, Jordan, I'd love a chance to get it
[04:03] <tritium> !checkinstall > cvd (see the private message from ubotu)

[04:04] <Skycloud> Can anybody help me, my computer is rebooting a lot, when I was on youtube, it rebooted, when I was playing WoW it rebooted, when I tried to play WC3 it reboots. But when I don't do those things its perfectly fine.
[04:04] <bzaks> that's really weird, any messages? or just a freak out reboot?
[04:04] <dawn`chorus> Skycloud, perhaps a hardware issue?
[04:05] <HydroUK> can anyone help me when using firefox every 3 to 4 mins everything locks up and i have to switch off and on again. i have purged and reinstalled firefox but have the same problem im using a netgear usb adaptor??
[04:05] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, Were you using gnash to watch the youtube videos?
[04:05] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: gnash? I was using firefox
[04:05] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, gnash is an alternate flash plugin
[04:06] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: oh, no I don't think so, I just installed the regular flash plugin when firefox said I need it.
[04:06] <EADG_> Skycloud: do a memory/ram test with the live cd, I had reboot issues from a bad dimm a few monts ago.
[04:06] <fisherhome> sorry bro im gunna head out, i'll catch up with you shortluy
[04:06] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, If you were then the one thing all those things would have in common would be their use of OpenGL
[04:06] <bzaks> yeah, but open GL, that would just make things look ugly, right? not cause a kernel panic and shutdown?
[04:06] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: I don't think I used opengl on any of them
[04:06] <enviouz> k hope that last set of switches i gave works
[04:07] <_dac> I'm running Ubuntu 7.04,But there's no sound from speakers or pc speaker, any Ideas?
[04:07] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, WoW?
[04:07] <Music_Shuffle> !sound | _dac
[04:07] <ubotu> _dac: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[04:07] <bzaks> _dac: got power to your speakers?
[04:07] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: I tried WoW like 3 times only one time with opengl
[04:07] <brady> I recently installed a new kernel and thought that I could delete the .deb package after I installed it but now there is an error in the update manager that says: 'E: The package linux-image-2.6.22-rc2-ge5de73bc-dirty needs to be reinstalled but I can't find an archive for it.'
[04:07] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: and all 3 of them shutdown the comp
[04:07] <korupt> hey guys how can i log in as root?
[04:07] <HydroUK> any help??
[04:07] <jrib> !root > korupt (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:07] <bzaks> sudo su
[04:07] <_dac> ok thanks...
[04:07] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, Any 3D program in Linux uses OpenGL
[04:07] <imbecile>  how do i add a key using software sources?? pleeeaassseee
[04:07] <tritium> bzaks: sudo -i rather than sudo su
[04:07] <jrib> !please > HydroUK (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:08] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: how do I set them up to all use opengl?
[04:08] <bzaks> tritium: how come?
[04:08] <korupt> right now im at terminal and need to get into gui with out it freezing up
[04:08] <arpegius> setting up apache2 and mod-musicindex... anyone succssfully set this up and can help a guy out?
[04:08] <Jordan_U> imbecile, System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[04:08] <jrib> imbecile: what repository?
[04:08] <tritium> brady: if you delete the package, you delete the files contained in it
[04:08] <_dac> bzaks, Ithink so...
[04:08] <tritium> !rootsudo > bzaks (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:08] <korupt> this is a fresh install and i added the ndiswrapper driver and now it wont login
[04:08] <mattthebaker> what is the name of the wrapper package that installs all of the development tools (gcc, g++, etc.)
[04:08] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, They already do, that's not the problem... What GFX card do you have?
[04:08] <tritium> mattthebaker: build-essential
[04:08] <imbecile> jrib, trevino
[04:09] <brady> ok but I just downloaded the package again, shouldn't that fix it?
[04:09] <mattthebaker> tritium: ty
[04:09] <tritium> brady: it has to be installed again as well
[04:09] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: Nvidia GeForce 6200, I had to use ndiswrapper to install the driver.
[04:09] <bzaks> _dac: can you plug it in to something else for a sec to test
[04:09] <brady> oh that sucks
[04:09] <bzaks> like an IPod?
[04:09] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: wait no I used synaptic package manager to get the driver for that
[04:09] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, NDIS wrapper is for wireless cards....
[04:09] <tritium> brady: huh?  That's how you install stuff.
[04:10] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: ya I tried messing with my card, and it didn't work =/
[04:10] <tritium> brady: it doesn't suck.  debian package management actually rocks
[04:10] <Eric1854> I'm trying to get file uploading in php to work.  I got the server to allow uploads, but they all come out corrupt.  Any ideas?
[04:10] <danCrazyMan> My friend ran the ubuntu installer (alternate cd), and used guided partitioning.  He's kind of clueless, so I'm not quite sure how he did it.  Upon booting, he has a "Windows" option, but it is the recovery system which came w/ the machine, which gets stuck on the loading screen (I'm assuming it can't find its recovery partitions because they've been moved).  Either way, I'm noticing he has several partitions, two of which are ar
[04:10] <danCrazyMan> ound 28gb.  One is the Linux ext3, so I'm assuming the other one is is his resized Windows Install.   According to cfdisk, its a Linux LVM though.  Any ideas?
[04:10] <unagi> !root
[04:10] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[04:10] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, Use System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager, check to see that the driver is enabled
[04:10] <brady> I know but I already installed this kernel and I would think that I wouldn't need to instlall it again since my system is running with that kernel righ now
[04:10] <asdokasdofj> anyone know of a PHP imap client that has threaded view? sorta like gmail?
[04:10] <_dac> no, I'm disabled and can't move to good, perhaps tomorrow, but thank you...
[04:10] <Skycloud> Jordan_U: I just did and it is
[04:10] <tritium> brady: but you _un_installed it after that
[04:10] <unagi> how do u change the permissions of a file?
[04:10] <jrib> imbecile: read http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/
[04:11] <jrib> !permissions > unagi (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:11] <brady> I didn't uninstall it I just deleted the debian package
[04:11] <Eric1854> unagi: sudo chmod your_username the_file
[04:11] <unagi> !permissions
[04:11] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[04:11] <bzaks> Jordan_U: Can you help me now with this fwcutter thing? Do I need to get the deb still?
[04:11] <bzaks> I have the firmware zip
[04:11] <dsl575> hi guys, can anyone help me with installing finch (or any other cli msn, lightweight client)
[04:11] <brady> shouldn't all the essential files still exist in some other folder
[04:11] <tritium> brady: then it should still be installed.  apt-cache policy <packagename> to verify installed status
[04:12] <brady> I know that it is still installed but why is it giving me the error message that it can't find the package
[04:12] <danCrazyMan> Also, when we try to do "mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5 -t ntfs"  It says "wrong fs type/ superblock ..."
[04:12] <tritium> brady: what's the exact error message, and at what time do you get it?
[04:12] <_dac> bzaks, I know they don't have batteries, but whether or not a adapter???
[04:12] <Jordan_U> bzaks, No, you should still install fwcutter once you are connected to the internet with the laptop just so your firmware gets updated automatically, but all you need is the firmware to connect now
[04:12] <Assassin`> any one here play with snes9express
[04:13] <bzaks> So Jordan, do I just unzip this folder in the firmware folder?
[04:13] <korupt> assassin use zsnes
[04:13] <korupt> thats the best one
[04:13] <Assassin`> i had that one
[04:13] <korupt> i have to get my computer working ill be back later
[04:13] <Assassin`> it crashes when i try to load a rom
[04:13] <brady> when I try to update my software with the update manager it says : 'E: The package linux-image-2.6.22-rc2-ge5de73bc-dirty needs to be reinstalled but I can't find an archive for it.'
[04:13] <linos> can someone help me out...  why is it when I look up the networks for irc ubuntu channels, they are not listed.  in fact the ubuntu channels are listed to be located on the freenode network, why?
[04:13] <hays> is ubuntu publicly traded?
[04:13] <unagi> chmod: invalid mode: `unagi'
[04:13] <hays> on the stock market
[04:13] <Assassin`> how do i restore default settings in zsnes?
[04:13] <jrib> unagi: did you read the page from ubotu?  what are you trying to do exactly?
[04:14] <jrib> hays: no
[04:14] <Eric1854> Does anyone here have any experience with setting up uploading on a web server?
[04:14] <hays> or if I want to invest in linux, am I stuck with sourceforge and red hat
[04:14] <_dac> after I've rested in the morning I can fall to the ground and check the speaker wiring etc....
[04:14] <unagi> im trying to install maya on ubuntu from rpm
[04:14] <jrib> unagi: what are you trying to do with chmod?
[04:14] <unagi> but the package manager is saying that the deb cant be opened because the permissions arent right
[04:14] <speaker219> hello
[04:14] <brady> it was originally on the desktop then I deleted it so now I just put it back on the desktop and it still gives me the same message
[04:14] <unagi> im doing what i was told to do before
[04:15] <unagi> sudo dpkg -i awcommon_9.5-2_i386.deb
[04:15] <bzaks> _dac do you have an audio device to plug the speakers in to test their ability to make sound before thinking it could be the computer
[04:15] <tritium> brady: that's not an official ubuntu package.  where is it from?  did it not install properly?
[04:15] <johndoc> does anyone know anything about using the wifi 4965agn with native drivers?
[04:15] <asdokasdofj> anyone know of a PHP imap client that has threaded view? sorta like gmail?
[04:15] <bzaks> jordan_u do I just unzip this file directly into firmware?
[04:15] <jrib> unagi: pastebin your error
[04:15] <brady> it installed properly and I am running ubuntu on the PS3 so I downloaded a kernel to enable the PS3's wifi
[04:15] <danCrazyMan> My friend ran the ubuntu installer (alternate cd), and used guided partitioning.  He's kind of clueless, so I'm not quite sure how he did it.  Upon booting, he has a "Windows" option, but it is the recovery system which came w/ the machine, which gets stuck on the loading screen (I'm assuming it can't find its recovery partitions because they've been moved).

[04:15] <HydroUK> why does firefox kepp locking up i have re installed but still the same problem
[04:16] <brady> I can give you the link to it if you would like to check it up
[04:16] <Jordan_U> bzaks, Yes, you will need to use sudo to do it though ( it requires root privaleges )
[04:16] <HydroUK> keep
[04:16] <_dac> no, I just have this old compaq7000 and a trnsister radio
[04:16] <bzaks> jordan_u: now what do I do with these .fw files in "/lib/firmware" install ndiswrapper?
[04:17] <Jordan_U> bzaks, No, just reboot or run: sudo modprobe bcm43xx-fwcutter
[04:17] <Jordan_U> bzaks, No, just reboot or run: sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[04:17] <Jordan_U> ( no fwcutter )
[04:17] <eggs> Hi i recently updated from 6.06>6.10>7.04
[04:17] <bzaks> Jordan_U: should I see something?
[04:17] <Jordan_U> bzaks, No
[04:18] <eggs> and my xconfg is messed up
[04:18] <kafran> someone that use aDesklets here???
[04:18] <unagi> i dont understand why installing maya has to be such a hassle
[04:18] <jrib> !xconfig > eggs (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:18] <cvd> cheackinstall and autoapt, but autoapt for what?
[04:18] <bzaks> Jordan_U: So I just have internet? even though network manager says nothing?
[04:18] <mongolai> anyone here know how to set-up gnome to have different desktops for different workspaces?
[04:18] <jrib> eggs: try regenerating it
[04:18] <Jordan_U> bzaks, Now try to connect with the network manager applet
[04:18] <jrib> mongolai: you can use "wallpapoz" (google)
[04:18] <eggs> how do i do that?
[04:19] <_dac> thanks for all bzaks
[04:19] <Jordan_U> bzaks, Network manager should see it now, check that the card is in roaming mode in System -> Administration -> networking
[04:19] <mongolai> jrib, looking that up now...
[04:19] <jrib> unagi: ask the people who produce maya.  You paid for it, tell them how you feel about it as a customer
[04:19] <brady> tritium, the lnk to where I got the kernel is from here: http://psubuntu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=342
[04:19] <unagi> erm
[04:19] <jrib> eggs: see the message from ubotu
[04:19] <bzaks> jordan_u I do see that. So I'm setting the essid because I know it. Is that okay?
[04:19] <unagi> how do you find your host id in linux
[04:20] <eggs> do i need to get out of x?
[04:20] <jrib> eggs: you don't need to
[04:20] <Assassin`> [22:13:48]  <Assassin`> how do i restore default settings in zsnes?
[04:20] <Jordan_U> bzaks, Yes, but as long as it's set to manual in netwok-admin it won't show up in network-manager
[04:20] <milllmannn> Why would I need to set up DNS stuff on my server?
[04:20] <Assassin`> never mind
[04:20] <Assassin`> -_-
[04:21] <bnall> any ideas on sunbird? good? bad? better programs?
[04:21] <killux> are prepatches just like updates for the kernel?
[04:21] <milllmannn> Do i need it if i am running on a VPN?
[04:21] <bzaks> So when does it work Jordan_U? I mean, I see the light on, but I can't ping anything
[04:21] <milllmannn> i mean, VPS
[04:21] <brady> tritium: can we enter a private chat?
[04:22] <Jordan_U> bzaks, It should work now, try setting it to roaming instead of adding the ssid yourself and see if it shows up in network-manager
[04:22] <bnall> not sure if anyone saw this earlier - connection running slow
[04:22] <rat> what is the command for getting linux to stop asking for a password?
[04:22] <bnall> sunbirf?
[04:22] <Talaman72> how do i get idjc setup?
[04:23] <Jordan_U> rat, What do you mean?
[04:23] <hbskinner> sometimes with I use ifdown if freezes on "DHCPRELEASE"
[04:23] <rat> for root or anything
[04:23] <rat> i want it to just never ask for a password
[04:23] <hbskinner> and then I can't seem to open another terminal
[04:23] <rat> i'm using xubuntu
[04:23] <Jordan_U> rat, You shouldn't do that...
[04:23] <bnall> is sunbird any good? any better choices?
[04:23] <hbskinner> anyone have any ideas?
[04:23] <rat> oh no?
[04:24] <bzaks> Jordan_u: did you give me the firmware for 4318 or 4306?
[04:24] <Jordan_U> rat, That is insecure and a good way to accidentaly brick your computer
[04:24] <SAM_theman> anyone here uses Ekiga??
[04:24] <rat> well nobody has access to my physical computer
[04:24] <SAM_theman> if you do pm your sip
[04:24] <LeoDioxide> rat: you're on the internet aren't you?
[04:24] <rat> unless they break down a door and dodge bullets
[04:24] <Jordan_U> bzaks, I gave you firmware for all models I think, hence the multiple .fw files
[04:24] <bzaks> oh okay
[04:24] <rat> fair enough
[04:24] <bzaks> hmm
[04:24] <brady> Can anyone else help me with my problem?
[04:25] <rat> i take it this is why it's a bad idea to irc in root
[04:25] <LeoDioxide> quite a bit
[04:25] <Jordan_U> rat, Yes, a VERRY bad idea
[04:25] <rat> but i think i mean that password is stored
[04:25] <cvd> how many thing ubuntu download after installing the auto-atp ans then auto-apt update? this thin still downloading thins
[04:25] <rat> the command has the word ALL in it twice
[04:25] <bzaks> network manager doesn't seem the recognize I took it out of manual and into roaming
[04:26] <Jordan_U> bzaks, I may have forgotten a step ( though I don't think I did ) try rebooting as that should do anything I might have forgotten
[04:26] <aoeuhtns> I'm trying to install gentoo on an old laptop with PCMCIA network card which works with the liveCD but not my installed system
[04:26] <bzaks> sweet
[04:26] <Jordan_U> aoeuhtns, This is #ubuntu ...
[04:26] <bzaks> I put it to sleep and brought it back to life
[04:26] <bzaks> and boom
[04:26] <bzaks> it worke
[04:26] <LeoDioxide> rat: the idea is that any insecurities arising from you running an IRC Client automatically give the attacker root access to your machine
[04:26] <bzaks> (sorry tritium.. habbit)
[04:27] <aoeuhtns> Jordan_U, haha ooops sorry wrong window
[04:27] <eboyjr> yo
[04:27] <Jordan_U> bzaks, That means I forgot something, glad it works :)
[04:27] <cvd> ?
[04:27] <rat> what if i'm never root, but it let's me do everything without bugging me
[04:27] <LeoDioxide> rat: you'd be root, think about that question.
[04:27] <Jordan_U> rat, How is that different from being root?
[04:27] <eboyjr> What IRC Client are you using?
[04:28] <LeoDioxide> eboyjr wants in on this action...
[04:28] <rat> i'm not root right now
[04:28] <rat> heh
[04:29] <bzaks> okay Jordan, now that I've downloaded and installed bcm43xx-fwcutter, do I need to do anything else?
[04:29] <rat> can't you get it to where it asks you once for the password when you startup and then it's ok from there
[04:29] <Jordan_U> bzaks, Nope
[04:29] <bzaks> awesome!
[04:29] <MrXorg> Can anyone tell me how to edit xorg in a shell
[04:29] <bzaks> that was a billion times easier than any other time
[04:29] <bzaks> thank you a toin!
[04:29] <bzaks> ton***
[04:29] <LeoDioxide> rat: thats the same as you logging in as root
[04:29] <bnall> has anyone used sunbird?
[04:29] <Jordan_U> rat, That would be logging in as root
[04:29] <jrib> MrXorg: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:29] <gangrene> MrXorg: as root go vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:30] <gangrene> ok, noob question
[04:30] <gangrene> I've installed firefox
[04:30] <rat> so you're telling me that everyone who uses linux is constantly typing their password over and over
[04:30] <Kyle123> what is the difference in Ubuntu 7.04 that you download off of the ubuntu.com site, and Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 ?
[04:30] <gangrene> now firefox does not run when I do 'firefox' in xterm
[04:30] <jrib> Kyle123: none?  I'm not sure I understand the question...
[04:30] <Jordan_U> Kyle123, Nothing?
[04:30] <jrib> gangrene: any output?
[04:30] <EADG_> rat: yes, and I sleep better at night because of it :/
[04:30] <mongolai> rat, i believe you can set-up sudo to remember your password for a certain amount of time. the default is 15 min, i think.
[04:30] <CineScope> rat: only when it is required, similar to macosx
[04:30] <gangrene> jrib: no
[04:30] <eboyjr> Why is it that you have to keep entering your password, and that gedit can not access certain files unless you open the terminal and use sudo?
[04:31] <eboyjr> It is sort of annoying me.
[04:31] <jrib> gangrene: ps -ef | grep firefox-bin      return anything?
[04:31] <gaten> gangrene: do 'ps aux|grep -i firefox'
[04:31] <brady> Is anyone available to help?
[04:31] <Kyle123> the Feisty Fawn DVD is 3.97 gb and the Ubuntu i downloaded from the home page is only 690 mb
[04:31] <PurpZeY> !sudo | eboyjr
[04:31] <ubotu> eboyjr: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:31] <Jordan_U> rat, That is why ( among other things ) we don't get viruses
[04:31] <gaten> brady: with what
[04:31] <rat> actually i just installed xubuntu a little while ago so maybe it's just because i had to setup everything
[04:31] <brady> I am having a probleming with my update manager
[04:31] <jrib> eboyjr: you really shouldn't need to do that that often?  What are you doing that requires root privileves so often?
[04:31] <gaten> brady: more details please
[04:31] <rat> normally i probably wouldn't be needing to do it so often
[04:32] <eboyjr> I am trying to edit the apache2.conf files and ports.conf and stuff.
[04:32] <mongolai> eboyjr, try "gksudo gedit &" from a terminal. Root gedit. you can leave it open...
[04:32] <brady> I am running Ubuntu on my PS3 and I just recently installed a kernel that utilizes the PS3's wifi card
[04:32] <Jordan_U> rat, Yes, during normal use you hardly ever need root privileges
[04:32] <brady> then I deleted the debian package
[04:32] <gangrene> hrmm
[04:32] <brady> because I thought it wasn't necessary anymore
[04:32] <Kyle123> 3.97gig dvd of Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, is that right ?
[04:32] <gangrene> firefox-bin and firefox appear to exist
[04:32] <rat> what's a good way to kill a process
[04:32] <brady> and now when I go to the update manager it gives me this error
[04:32] <jrib> Kyle123: the dvd has all of the main and restricted repository including kubuntu, xubuntu, etc...
[04:32] <gangrene> yet I get command not found
[04:33] <gaten> rat: kill PID
[04:33] <ADiCT3D> Can someone help me setup a udev rule? I need to make a persistent +Read/Write to a /dev/vboxdrv
[04:33] <Kyle123> ah alright
[04:33] <Kyle123> what is the difference in all of the different versions ? or is there any ?
[04:33] <rat> i guess i should list it with "top"
[04:33] <brady> 'E: The package linux-image-2.6.22-rc2-ge5de73bc-dirty needs to be reinstalled but I can't find an archive for it.'
[04:33] <gaten> rat: or if it's in X, you can do xkill and click on the window
[04:33] <eboyjr> I have to leave the gedit open... Is it a good idea to edit the Text Editor command by putting a sudo in front of it?
[04:33] <gaten> rat: or ps
[04:33] <gaten> brady: thats a kernel image
[04:33] <brady> I then redownloaded the package and it's in the same spot that it was last time, my desktop, and it still gives me that error
[04:33] <brady> i know
[04:34] <mongolai> Kyle123, you mean number versions or K/Edu/Ubuntu?
[04:34] <jrib> Kyle123: ubuntu uses gnome by default, kubuntu uses kde, xubuntu uses xfce.  They all use the same repository and you can install the same programs (including kde on ubuntu).  The difference is the default programs and settings
[04:34] <gaten> brady: did you reinstal the package w/ dpk?
[04:34] <Jordan_U> rat, killall <process name>
[04:34] <gaten> brady: dpkg*
[04:34] <brady> i never reinstalled it, i'm not sure why i would have to
[04:34] <Kyle123> alright gotcha thanx
[04:35] <brady> i just followed the directions on this website http://psubuntu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=342
[04:35] <vbabiy> Hey guys is there any vim guru here
[04:35] <ADiCT3D> !udev
[04:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about udev - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:35] <mongolai> eboyjr, you can either hit alt+f2 and do "gksudo gedit" *or* from a terminal "gksudo gedit &" and leave gedit open as long as you want.
[04:35] <ADiCT3D> !dev rules
[04:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dev rules - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:35] <Jordan_U> !anyone | vbabiy
[04:35] <ubotu> vbabiy: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:35] <vbabiy> Jordan_U: I know
[04:35] <gaten> brady: well, if you uninstalled it and started having problems...
[04:35] <vbabiy> Jordan_U: MY BAD :)
[04:35] <eboyjr> Cool, thanks a lot mongolai.
[04:36] <brady> well I didn't uninstall it I just deleted the .deb from the desktop
[04:36] <mongolai> no prob, eboyjr
[04:36] <brady> should i still reinstall it?
[04:36] <gaten> brady:  yes
[04:36] <Jamesinator> How do I lock a user to their home directory and prevent access to anything outside of their home-directory tree?
[04:36] <brady> just by following the same directions that were on that website?
[04:37] <curiogeo> any user rights specialists who can tell me why - net rpc group delmem "DOM\users" alan -Uroot%notdumb as root  would give an error like Could not del alan from DOM\users: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[04:37] <gaten> Jamesinator: permissions of 007 on your folders
[04:37] <mongolai> Jamesinator, I'm not sure you'd want to...
[04:37] <gaten> brady: you should be able to do sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.22-rc2_2.6.22-rc2-10.00.Custom_powerpc.deb
[04:37] <bnall> any way to keep my dial up modem from dialing out every time i boot up? (i normally use the lan interface but sometimes need to dial up)
[04:37] <gaten> Jamesinator: but don't do that ;) they won't be able to run anything
[04:37] <Jamesinator> gaten: Could you elaborate?
[04:37] <brady> and that will completely fix the problem?
[04:37] <Jamesinator> Mongolal: If I didn't want to do it, why would I be asking?
[04:38] <gaten> Jamesinator: you really cant do that because they need to access things like /bin and so on
[04:38] <mongolai> Jamesinator, every *human* user needs access to at least /bin /usr/bin and /usr/sbin...
[04:38] <Jordan_U> brady, Blacklist whatever module it uses, or remove it from your /etc/networking/interfaces
[04:38] <Jamesinator> mongolai: I'm aware, but that wasn't what I was asking. ;)
[04:39] <brady> Jordan_U sorry I'm no quite sure what that means
[04:39] <Jamesinator> That being the case, my question would more appropriately be how would I prevent a user from looking at files outside of their home directory tree?
[04:39] <gaten> Jamesinator: yes it is. "anything outside their home-directory tree"
[04:39] <mongolai> Jamesinator, sorry... Do you just want to limit others from accessing your ~/?
[04:39] <gaten> Jamesinator: are you concerned about other users files or system files. the default permissions for system files are usually fine
[04:40] <bnall> how can i apply permissions from a folder to all files in that folder?
[04:40] <ADiCT3D> Can someone help me setup a udev rule? I need to make a persistent +Read/Write to a /dev/vboxdrv
[04:40] <Jordan_U> brady, The drivers for your modem are in a kernel module, if you prevent it from loading, then your modem won't be used
[04:40] <gaten> bnall: chmod -R 777 DIR
[04:40] <Jamesinator> I don't want said user to be able to screw with system files or read other users' files
[04:40] <eboyjr> What's a good way to set up Ubuntu to look the most like Windows 98? ( with System, Preferences, Theme )
[04:41] <gaten> Jamesinator: then you need to do a chmod -R 700 /home/*
[04:41] <brady> so I just need to go to the terminal and type in what gaten told me to then it will be all better?
[04:41] <Jordan_U> eboyjr, 1: Why?!? 2: use redmond theme
[04:41] <mongolai> bnall, chmod +"whatever" *   whatever of course being your modes...
[04:41] <korupt> aright i figured something out im having some kind of hardware error
[04:41] <urso_> eboyjr do you like windows 98 aperance? lol i dontttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
[04:41] <gaten> Jamesinator: and they won't be able to screw w/ system files unless they get the root/adin account
[04:41] <bnall> thanks
[04:41] <Jamesinator> Ok, I'll try that. Thank you.
[04:41] <gaten> Jamesinator: yw
[04:41] <eboyjr> Well, I don't... but I just wanted to get more accustomed. ;)
[04:42] <dawn`chorus> eboyjr, imo the kubuntu somewhat resembles the windows layout.
[04:42] <urso_> eboyjr accustomed who like this?
[04:42] <urso_> anyone use the windows 998 now
[04:42] <napkin_> does anyone know how i would cleanly install the latest CVS snapshot of ALSA?
[04:42] <korupt> here is my problem im in recovery mode right now and i did a iwconfig at the command line and saw wlan0 when i log into ubuntu it stalls and if i do a iwconfig in gnome failsafe then it says wlan0 isnt there what could be going on
[04:42] <urso_> only old computers not upgrade
[04:43] <eboyjr> I have a Windows 98 on my REALLY OLD laptop. With 2GB HD and 16MB RAM
[04:43] <urso_> eboyjr you got the compiz or beryl now they are very great :)
[04:43] <cdubya> how can I point this machine at another gateway using the network-manager-gnome?.........
[04:43] <dawn`chorus> eboyjr, i don't think your laptop meets the minimum requirements to run Ubuntu.  let me double check.
[04:43] <urso_> eboyjr and you can build your own custom looks aperance ...
[04:44] <brady> I just have a quick question, if I type this in at the terminal: sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.22-rc2_2.6.22-rc2-10.00.Custom_powerpc.deb  Won't it make it so I don't have access to the PS3's wifi?
[04:44] <need4speed> anyone in here who knows how to set virtualbox new guest os to have an ip that can have internet as well as my main ubuntu box?
[04:44] <eboyjr> No, I have Ubuntu right now (im using it) on a Windows XP
[04:44] <wols_> korupt: badly installed wlan?
[04:44] <wols_> korupt: what chip? what driver?
[04:44] <gaten> need4speed: you can do the bridged networking
[04:44] <Jordan_U> How can I switch to another tty from the terminal?
[04:44] <gaten> Jordan_U: ALT+CTRL+Fn
[04:44] <wols_> Jordan_U: ctrl+alt+Fx
[04:45] <gaten> hah beat ya
[04:45] <Jordan_U> I need to switch to an other tty in a VM and when I try to it changes it in my host instead
[04:45] <brady> So shouldn't I just type in sudo -i "file path to the kernel that I want"
[04:45] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: ctrl+alt+Fz
[04:45] <Jordan_U> wols_, gaten Scunizi From a terminal ?
[04:45] <lineman60> dose ubuntu server run selinux?
[04:45] <need4speed> gaten: where is the settings for bridged? in vmware i know how to do it but i cant find it in virtualbox
[04:45] <korupt> anyone know what could be going on right now im in recovery mode not in gui, when i type iwconfig it shows my wireless card and ext wlan0, when i log onto ubuntu it stalls and i cant get any further. when i installed the driver before it said it couldnt find wlan0 so im in a rut
[04:45] <Flannel> brady: sudo -i is different than sudo dpkg -i
[04:45] <drgonzo> hello all
[04:45] <gaten> brady: no... that command would do nothing
[04:45] <wols_> Jordan_U: what "terminal"?
[04:45] <drgonzo> is there anyway to get kmail to group messages via day/week/month/year like outlook?
[04:45] <Jamesinator> gaten: Works great, thanks!
[04:46] <gaten> need4speed: ooh Vbox... oh boy, i dont remember
[04:46] <wols_> korupt: I asked you something
[04:46] <Jordan_U> wols_, An xterm, or any terminal, the problem is that I need to change tty's in a VM
[04:46] <brady> ok sorry i meant sudo dpkg -i "file path to my preferred kernel"
[04:46] <korupt> wols? im having a hard time everything is big and i cant scoll back up
[04:46] <brady> would that solve the problem?
[04:46] <korupt> what was the question once more please
[04:46] <dawn`chorus> eboyjr, oh.  i'm sorry.  i thought you were wanting to install Ubuntu on 16MB of RAM.
[04:46] <mongolai> Jordan_U, what do you mean by "in a VM"?
[04:46] <wols_> korupt: /lastlog korupt
[04:46] <Flannel> brady: is it the deb file of the kernel you want to install?
[04:46] <need4speed> gaten: were you able to run vmware in ubuntu 7.04 without a problem?
[04:47] <Jordan_U> mongolai, A vmware virtual machine
[04:47] <gaten> need4speed: it needs a patch
[04:47] <wols_> Jordan_U: what is exactly your problem? why do you need to switch?
[04:47] <korupt> not sure about 5 minutes ago
[04:47] <smacnay> Is ubuntu sticking to its 6 month cycles and are the upgrades from one version to the next working well?
[04:47] <mongolai> Oh, Ok, that's what I thought, but I was unsure.
[04:47] <Jordan_U> wols_, I want to be able to get out of X without stopping it
[04:47] <korupt> aww lol
[04:47] <need4speed> gaten: teach me how, did you install vmware player or only vmware server?
[04:47] <wols_> Jordan_U: why?
[04:47] <need4speed> please?
[04:47] <Jordan_U> smacnay, Yes
[04:47] <Jordan_U> wols_, Why not?
[04:47] <gaten> need4speed: ok hold on. i user server
[04:47] <brady> well I assume so because after I installed the kernel then dleted the deb file my update manager started complaining that it wasn't there anymore
[04:48] <korupt> lol okay wols its a trendnet driver mrv8335
[04:48] <eboyjr> dawn`chorus` haha
[04:48] <bnall> mongolai - that worked but is there any way to make it apply the permissions automatically when i drop the file into that folder?
[04:48] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: ctrl+alt+F# to get out of x without closing it
[04:48] <need4speed> gaten: ok waiting
[04:48] <Flannel> brady: The deb file is independant of the stuff it installs.
[04:48] <korupt> im using it right now so i know its working fine
[04:48] <dawn`chorus> eboyjr, :P
[04:48] <unagi> is an external drive read-only by default....meaning can it be made writeable?
[04:48] <BloodyTux> hey
[04:48] <wols_> korupt: that is no chip
[04:48] <korupt> not sure chip set
[04:48] <wols_> korupt: it's the maker of the card. and I asked you more
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Scunizi, Like I said before, that affects the Host OS, not the Guest
[04:48] <brady> so why is it giving me an error when i go into my update manager?
[04:48] <jrib> Jordan_U: possibly 'chvt'...
[04:48] <BloodyTux> nothing but midis will play on my laptop, using 7.04 regular ubuntu. anyone wanna help
[04:48] <wols_> korupt: how is the wlan connected to your PC?
[04:49] <BloodyTux> all i hear are midis and certain wavs
[04:49] <lineman60> brady did you crash when updateing?
[04:49] <scoobydoo28139> i need to reclaim my drive for windows. What is a good way to wipe it for a fresah windows install?
[04:49] <korupt> internal card i placed it in there
[04:49] <brady> no i didn't
[04:49] <PurpZeY> BloodyTux: Have you configured ALSA?
[04:49] <Scunizi> ohh.. i missed that you're in a vm.. maybe as long as the mouse pointer is in the vm box it will work. that provides focus sometimes.
[04:49] <scoobydoo28139> *fresh
[04:49] <BloodyTux> yes
[04:49] <korupt> this si a desktop
[04:49] <korupt> is
[04:49] <BloodyTux> a long time ago
[04:49] <lineman60> whats the error?
[04:49] <BloodyTux> how do i do it again?
[04:49] <mongolai> bnall, I'm not sure... It really depends on the permissions of the source file(s)
[04:49] <Scunizi> Jordan_U, (repeat) ohh.. i missed that you're in a vm.. maybe as long as the mouse pointer is in the vm box it will work. that provides focus sometimes.
[04:49] <unagi> why cant ubuntu write to external drives?
[04:49] <brady> there is a version of that kernel that is slightly updated, should i just try installing that to see if that works?

I turned it off and back on, and then I went to System > Preferences > Screensaver. Then it froze again! So, I can't change my screensaver or it will freeze again. What can I do?
[04:53] <funjon> Mega: go look in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, uncomment the appropriate line that restricts to lcoalhost only
[04:53] <funjon> Scunizi: thanks
[04:53] <RadiantFire> bnall: if you mean after the folder is already crated, that can't be done. It depends on the permissions of whoever crates the files
[04:53] <dadeEldron> Don't even deny it
[04:53] <Megaqwerty> funjon: thanks.
[04:53] <scoobydoo28139> gaten: it only recognizes 120 of my drive now
[04:53] <zoidberg_> is there a guide for basically having firefox multimedia ready....streaming videos etc. especially streamng DIVX?
[04:53] <scoobydoo28139> its 160
[04:53] <nickydixx> uit
[04:53] <brady> i'm not really sure what that means so i'm assuming that it wouldn't affect me
[04:53] <gaten> scoobydoo28139: what does? windows? so you have a dual boot and want to get all the drive space for windows
[04:53] <dadeEldron> Can anyone tell me how to get support for mp3s?
[04:53] <jrib> !mp3 > dadeEldron (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:53] <bnall> i created the folder but i want the permissions to be applied to a file when a put a new file in the folder - make sense?

[04:54] <Megaqwerty> ChevyMan: yes?
[04:54] <Alysum> hi how do I add another hdd to ubuntu which is on slave ?
[04:54] <jrib> Scunizi: please don't do that
[04:54] <korupt> where is the log file at so i can take a look at errors in it
[04:54] <dadeEldron> I don't seam to have automatix
[04:54] <gaten> Megaqwerty: are you running service on port 25?
[04:54] <brady> PurpZeY am I correct in that assumption?
[04:54] <scoobydoo28139> I am selling this computer and need ubuntu off it. I need to completely format the drive
[04:54] <jrib> dadeEldron: don't use automatix, you do not need it
[04:54] <RadiantFire> dadeEldron: don't use automatix, it breaks things
[04:54] <Scunizi> jrib, why not.. that's where you'll find the answer..
[04:54] <scoobydoo28139> and install windows
[04:54] <Megaqwerty> gaten: Postfix I'm pretty sure.
[04:54] <bung> anyone know why ubuntu uses UUID=xxxx-x-x-x-x-xxxx in fstab instead of /dev/xxx# ?
[04:54] <unagi> i screwed up my package manager.....says maya8.0 needs to be reinstalled but cant find it
[04:54] <jrib> Scunizi: but I didn't ask the question
[04:54] <ChevyMan> Megaqwerty - add the -i ethx flag...maybe
[04:54] <PurpZeY> brady: It's likely not going to cause an issue...even if it does you can just boot from the old kernel
[04:54] <dadeEldron> how do I get mp3 support? i need my music and porno!!!
[04:54] <gaten> scoobydoo28139: windows install should do it. just delete all the partitions during the install and create a big new partition to install windows onto
[04:54] <RadiantFire> bung: UUID is guaranteed to be unique, regardless of the order disks are detected
[04:55] <Megaqwerty> ChevyMan: I'll try it
[04:55] <jrib> dadeEldron: read the message from ubotu
[04:55] <cwill1> bung: stable if you move the drive around
[04:55] <brady> ok thank you
[04:55] <Scunizi> jrib, sorry,,,, i miss read..
[04:55] <bung> thanks
[04:55] <brady> peace
[04:55] <scoobydoo28139> gaten i will try again
[04:55] <eboyjr> How can I change my screensaver manually, without going to System > Preferences > Screensaver????????
[04:55] <CineScope> does umount work with UUID's?
[04:56] <eboyjr> Ubuntu will freeze if I go to System > Preferences > Screensaver.
[04:56] <eboyjr> So then I have to reboot.
[04:56] <Megaqwerty> ChevyMan: nope, didn't work
[04:56] <gaten> eboyjr: you could use gconf-editor
[04:56] <dadeEldron> thanks guys, should I use synaptic? is that a good program?
[04:56] <jrib> dadeEldron: yes
[04:56] <gaten> Megaqwerty: how are you checking to see if the port is open
[04:56] <Megaqwerty> gaten: nmap from a remote box
[04:57] <gaten> Megaqwerty: inside the internal network?
[04:57] <unagi> sigh i think im going to reformat my drive and reinstall ubuntu
[04:57] <Megaqwerty> gaten: outside.
[04:57] <eboyjr> gaten: where is the file which stores the screensaver info?
[04:57] <jrib> unagi: you don't need to reinstall ubuntu
[04:57] <gaten> Megaqwerty: are you behind a router? try canyouseeme.org
[04:57] <unagi> but it acts so screwy
[04:57] <unagi> ive probably broken it in many ways
[04:57] <jrib> unagi: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[04:57] <bnall> what folder do pictures need to be in to be used for the screensaver?
[04:57] <Megaqwerty> gaten: the server is in the DMZ, and my http and ssh ports are open
[04:58] <gaten> eboyjr: im not sure, but if you run gconf-editor and search for screensaver you can see where to change it
[04:58] <jrib> bnall: ~/Pictures  iirc
[04:58] <PurpZeY> bnall: In home folder I believe
[04:58] <bnall> thanks
[04:58] <gaten> Megaqwerty: ok, so it is the box itself. try running nc on port 25 without postfix running, and see if its open like that
[04:58] <dadeEldron> Where can I find the best Italian Disco music?
[04:59] <gaten> dadeEldron: an italian disco??
[04:59] <mongolai> dadeEldron, in italy?
[04:59] <eboyjr> gaten: Hmm.. I can't seem to find that. Im guessing that it is under system.
[04:59] <dadeEldron> Like italo disco music
[04:59] <Megaqwerty> gaten: I need a little elaboration, I've only used netcat once.
[04:59] <Scunizi> dadeEldron, florence
[04:59] <dadeEldron> have you guys never heard of italo disco!!!!>>>
[04:59] <Pelo> PurpZeY,  I think you select f-spot in the screen saver dialog and you specify the folders to use in f-spot from the appication menu
[04:59] <Flannel> dadeEldron: #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[04:59] <dadeEldron> it is like cheesy 80's music
[04:59] <gaten> Megaqwerty: ok, kill the postfix process and issue a "sudo nc -l -p 25"
[04:59] <Pelo> bnall,  I think you select f-spot in the screen saver dialog and you specify the folders to use in f-spot from the appication menu
[04:59] <PurpZeY> Pelo: I imagine you know better than I...Thanks..=)
[04:59] <dadeEldron> thanks everyone
[05:00] <gaten> eboyjr: um, do a search w/ find. easier that way
[05:00] <Pelo> PurpZeY, sorry , it wasn'T meant for you
[05:00] <Megaqwerty> gaten: alright
[05:00] <Jamesinator> Is it possible to forward / intercept ports with IPtables? Ex, can you forward an incoming connection from port 27080 to port 80?
[05:01] <dr_willis> Jamesinator,  yes i belive it can
[05:01] <Megaqwerty> gaten: after doing that, port 25 is still filtered
[05:01] <Jamesinator> How do you forward / intercept ports with IPtables? Ex, can you forward an incoming connection from port 27080 to port 80? *
[05:01] <Jamesinator> dr_willis: Thank you. :P
[05:01] <eboyjr> g: I did a search and found 4 whatevers and there is nothing about Molecule or w/e
[05:02] <Pelo> Jamesinator,  I think your question is way over the skill level of this channel,  try man iptables see if anything comes up
[05:02] <Jamesinator> Alright.
[05:02] <BloodyTux> ok.... so it says it doesnt have the module for my sound card, now what
[05:02] <gaten> Megaqwerty: hmm. try clearing all the iptables rules and see if that works
[05:02] <need4speed> any suggestion here that can do virtual machine in text based, except qemu?anything that can support x86 or x86_64?
[05:02] <BloodyTux> i have a intel STAC92xx
[05:02] <Megaqwerty> gaten: where is the iptables file?
[05:03] <gaten> Megaqwerty: just do a "iptables -X\iptables -F"
[05:03] <ChevyMan> Megaqwerty - /etc/init.d/iptables stop   ..as root
[05:03] <noodles12> I'm using feisty. When i go to places>network. normally my windows network shows up and i can access my files on my brother's XP machine. Today for some reason only "windows network" shows up and i can't see the other computers. What is the cause of this problem?
[05:03] <dr_willis> need4speed,  to do what exactly?
[05:03] <eboyjr> Who can tell me where the key value is on the Ubuntu Configuration Editor for the screensaver setting?
[05:04] <Megaqwerty> gaten: I want to back up my current config.
[05:04] <BloodyTux> i can't here sound on my sound card, it says it doesnt have the modules, i have a Intel STAC92xx
[05:04] <nconlon> hello
[05:04] <need4speed> i need to create two or three OS acting as NAT with dhcp and dns forward  or gateway server
[05:04] <Pelo> eboyjr, try under  /app/screensaver
[05:04] <Megaqwerty> ChevyMan: apparently that isn't relevant in Dapper
[05:04] <gaten> Megaqwerty: yeah, umm its like iptables-save or something.  look at the man page for it, i can't remember
[05:04] <Megaqwerty> k
[05:05] <ChevyMan> Megaqwerty - sorry, ignore my comment. wrong distro.
[05:05] <BloodyTux> Can anyone help?
[05:05] <Pelo> eboyjr,  thre is a search feature in edit
[05:05] <dr_willis> need4speed,  could alwasy use vmware and install ssh on them... but  not sure  of the details of your project.. so cant really suggest anything else.    i only know of vmware, qemu, virtualbox,  for linux. Theres dosbox. but thats not what ya want.. and that other dosemulator. :) not sure what all it can do.
[05:05] <eboyjr> Pelo: there is no app/screensaver. I did a find, and found 4:. /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver /apps/gnome-screensaver /schemas/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver /schemas/apps/gnome-screensaver... That's it!
[05:05] <Megaqwerty> gaten: so how do I restore from whatever iptables-save does?
[05:06] <dr_willis> !iptables
[05:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[05:06] <Pelo> eboyjr,  look in those
[05:06] <gaten> Megaqwerty: iptables-restore
[05:06] <dr_willis> Hmm.. I need to find a good howto/book or two on iptables
[05:06] <gaten> !iptables

[05:06] <Mr_Giraffe> success!
[05:06] <need4speed> dr_willis, can vmware run in text based?
[05:06] <eboyjr> Pelo: Well, there is nothing significant I can change.
[05:06] <eboyjr> !
[05:07] <dr_willis> need4speed,  no idea.. never needed such a thing. Not sure why its a requirement. Theres various vmware console/interfacces that may do what you want.
[05:07] <eboyjr> In a lot of ways, Ubuntu is BETTER than WINDOWS
[05:07] <MrOtacon> hi - is there an avi to mp4 converter for ubuntu?
[05:07] <dr_willis> eboyjr,  a lot? heh...
[05:07] <dr_willis> just a lot?
[05:07] <Pelo> eboyjr, what are you trying to do exactly ?
[05:07] <need4speed> hmm
[05:08] <Scunizi> MrOtacon, you might look at mencoder
[05:08] <MrOtacon> !info mencoder
[05:08] <ubotu> mencoder: MPlayer's Movie Encoder. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.1 (feisty), package size 3474 kB, installed size 8736 kB

[05:08] <MrOtacon> Scunizi: Ok - Thanks :)
[05:08] <Megaqwerty> gaten: iptables v1.3.3: Can't use -F with -X
[05:08] <eboyjr> Pelo: (its because my comp. doesn't handle one of the screensavers)
[05:09] <quiiver_> hello!
[05:09] <gaten> Megaqwerty: two seperate commands
[05:09] <Pelo> eboyjr,  which one ?
[05:09] <hatter> any of you recommend a php based web project management package ?
[05:09] <quiiver_> I have a lacie drive that is HFS+
[05:09] <eboyjr> dr_willis: u know, you have the workspaces, and when you rename a file, it auto selects the spot before the extension
[05:09] <quiiver_> when I mount it in Ubuntu it comes up but read only
[05:10] <cvd> auto-apt its good one?
[05:10] <eboyjr> Pelo: I think it is called Molecule
[05:10] <gaten> Megaqwerty: also make sure the input and output chains are set to allow
[05:10] <gaten> Megaqwerty: err accept
[05:10] <Nxion> Hi all iam in need of some help with Apache2 who ever can help mp can you please PM me !
[05:10] <Mr_Giraffe> test test test
[05:11] <Pelo> eboyjr,   in the terminal,   locate molecule ( a few will show up) ,  find the one for the screensaver and remove it
[05:11] <eboyjr> Nxion: I think I can help
[05:11] <Scunizi> Nxion, you might also ask on #ubuntu-server
[05:11] <Megaqwerty> gaten: I just got locked out of my server with that command
[05:11] <Nxion> iasked no one will answer on #ubuntu-server
[05:11] <Megaqwerty> (it's via ssh)
[05:11] <eboyjr> Pelo: hmmm.. how can I do that?
[05:12] <Pelo> Nxion,  patience is a must
[05:12] <gaten> Megaqwerty: well, thats something to mention at the beginning
[05:12] <eboyjr> Pelo: something like search molecule
[05:12] <Megaqwerty> gaten: lol, blast
[05:12] <eboyjr> "search molecule"
[05:12] <Pelo> eboyjr,   "locate molecule"
[05:12] <Megaqwerty> gaten: they aren't carried over on reboot right?
[05:12] <Pelo> no quotes
[05:12] <gaten> Megaqwerty: no. and in that case you would want to set the in and out policy to accept BEFORE you do all that
[05:13] <Nxion> eboyjr; how do i get rid of the annoying apache-default at the end of my link to my site "test.com/apache2-default/"
[05:13] <Megaqwerty> gaten: what? I don't understand what you just said...
[05:13] <eboyjr> Pelo: /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/molecule.xml
[05:13] <eboyjr> /usr/share/man/man6/molecule.6x.gz

[05:13] <eboyjr> Pelo: I found 4
[05:14] <sherl0ck> wow i need to say something
[05:14] <Pelo> eboyjr, try this line   sudo mv /usr/share/applications/screensavers/molecule.desktop ~/Desktop
[05:14] <Nxion> and not have it ALWAYS say that when I try to access my website
[05:14] <sherl0ck> i say this daily to myself as i live and learn....
[05:14] <gaten> Megaqwerty: netfilter has 3 default chains, input, output and forward. each of them has a policy. "accept" means that everything is allowed in out and forwarded
[05:14] <sherl0ck> linux never ceases to amaze me
[05:14] <unagi_> jrib are u still here

[05:16] <wols_> unagi_: what driver?
[05:16] <unagi_> yes
[05:16] <dadeEldron> I used the add/remove software thing to get the mp3 codecs and I still can't play them
[05:16] <Megaqwerty> gaten: okay, so in the future how would I set it to accept port 25 inbound and outbound?  iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 25 -j ACCEPT && iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 25 -j ACCEPT  ?
[05:16] <unagi_> is that whats doing it?

[05:17] <jrib> unagi_: well I would say, try disabling it.  If it still happens, then see wols_ question
[05:17] <wols_> imbecile: the error is prtty clear
[05:17] <Scunizi> dadeEldron, what program are you trying to play them in?
[05:17] <unagi_> whats the command to stop beryl
[05:17] <gaten> Megaqwerty: ehh, that looks right. honestly i can't remember, you'
[05:17] <imbecile> wols_,  im not sure how to fix it tho
[05:17] <Pelo> unagi_,  sudo killall beryl
[05:17] <eboyjr> Pelo: thanks a lot! It's also weird that my mouse cursor turns black when the Screensaver Preferences window is open... weird
[05:17] <wols_> imbecile: creat what it complains about
[05:17] <Megaqwerty> gaten: no, I just took a shot in the dark there...
[05:17] <gaten> Megaqwerty: you'll want to add in some --state-established rules.
[05:17] <wols_> imbecile: man mkdir
[05:18] <Megaqwerty> gaten: sorry, now I'm really confused.
[05:18] <unagi_> when i kill it i lost the borders on windows
[05:18] <gaten> Megaqwerty: you should go look at a howto. it can explain better than I.
[05:18] <Pelo> eboyjr,  I can't help you with that ,  now if you don'T wantot use molecule anymore , just delete the file on your desktop,  if you want to try and use it again , just move it back to it's original location

[05:18] <unagi_> ok got it
[05:19] <eboyjr> Hi toast
[05:19] <unagi_> is there another 3d desktop util like beryl that is stable?
[05:19] <cvd> hey i check  in synaptic and there  is a ubuntu-desktop  , what is that?
[05:19] <toast> hi eboyjr  :)
[05:19] <wols_> cvd: a metapackage for the ubuntu desktop
[05:19] <gnychis> whats the ideal size for swap space with 1GB of memory?
[05:19] <eboyjr> toast: cool name!
[05:19] <Pelo> unagi_, just the desktop effects , under system > prefs,    try asking for more help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:20] <dadeEldron> trying to play them in amarok
[05:20] <imbecile> wols_,  ok i did that
[05:20] <toast> Well, it's not /that/ cool, eboyjr.  :)
[05:20] <wols_> gnychis: 512MB or so
[05:20] <toast> Thank you though.
[05:20] <unagi_> ah
[05:20] <unagi_> wow
[05:20] <eboyjr> lol
[05:20] <unagi_> what did i need beryl for
[05:20] <wols_> imbecile: and?
[05:20] <unagi_> lol
[05:20] <cvd> metapackage?
[05:20] <tritium> !enter > unagi_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:20] <Scunizi> dadeEldron, if amarok was open when you did the install make sure you close it totally then open it again. That might fix it.
[05:20] <unagi_> are there settings for the desktop effects?
[05:20] <wols_> cvd: a package the brings nothing on its own, only has dependecies which makes apt install more packages
[05:20] <imbecile> wols_,  and i dont know what to do yet
[05:21] <unagi_> !desktopeffects
[05:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about desktopeffects - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:21] <unagi_> !desktop effects
[05:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about desktop effects - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:21] <Scunizi> gnychis, I use 1.5 gig
[05:21] <Pelo> cvd,  to make the installation easier, all the packages that are part of ubuntu have been made as dependencies of  ubuntu-desktop  , that way you only have to install ubuntu-desktop and all the other packages will be instaled
[05:21] <tritium> unagi_: you can query ubotu in private
[05:21] <dadeEldron> I did the install then I opened it
[05:21] <eboyjr> On the desktop effects, what would make it so that it would give off the error message, "Desktop effects could not be enabled"???
[05:21] <unagi_> what is the best desktop environment?
[05:22] <tritium> !best
[05:22] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[05:22] <wols_> imbecile: you restart the app after you made the dir
[05:22] <PurpZeY> eboyjr: If you don't have the gfx to support it.
[05:22] <blackace11> hello all
[05:22] <eboyjr> PurpZey; whats the gfx?
[05:22] <wols_> eboyjr: what videocard, what chip?
[05:22] <wols_> eboyjr: and what driver do you use?
[05:22] <unagi_> i have so many installed desktop managers and i really dont know the difference or how to use them.....i still have an osx theme that i dont even want but i dont know how to change it

[05:23] <blackace11> i'm using compiz and i am wondering how to set up where i can spin the cube with my middle mouse button?
[05:23] <unagi_> how do i uninstall kde
[05:23] <wols_> eboyjr: the intel pentium 4 is your videocard? wow
[05:23] <sherl0ck> unagi_, sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop
[05:23] <Pelo>  ,.

[05:23] <ubotu> blackace11: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[05:23] <wols_> sherl0ck: and that will remove more than the meta package?
[05:23] <CppIsWeird> how do i turn off this NetworkManager Applet thing?
[05:24] <Fathefner> how to u use vnc on ubuntu
[05:24] <eboyjr> wols_; Well this is my dad's comp. i dont know much about it... i see a sticker that says Intel Pentium 4.. He got this in 2003.

[05:24] <unagi_> all of a sudden i cant change desktops....wierd
[05:25] <Bllz> hey everybody
[05:25] <osxdude|palmTX> um...hi
[05:25] <Bllz> Can I sync music to my ipod with banshee? do i need a plugin or something?
[05:26] <unagi> the aptitude command didnt work
[05:26] <Jamesinator> I'm trying to unmount a device but I can't because it's in use somewhere. How can I find out where it's being used so I can unmount it?
[05:26] <wols_> unagi: uninstall your kdelibs package
[05:26] <eboyjr> wols_; VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF
[05:26] <osxdude|palmTX> blitz: I wouldn't.
[05:26] <wols_> eboyjr: no beryl for you
[05:27] <dadeEldron> are there restricted plug ins for 7.04, it only talks about kubuntu
[05:27] <dadeEldron> kubuntu 7.04
[05:27] <unagi> still get the kde login
[05:27] <unagi> and now my close buttons are gone

[05:28] <noodles12> I'm using feisty. When i go to places>network. normally my windows network shows up and i can access my files on my brother's XP machine. Today for some reason only "windows network" shows up and i can't see the other computers. What is the cause of this problem?
[05:28] <wols_> unagi: then you haven't uninstalled your kdelibs
[05:28] <unagi> i just did
[05:28] <Bllz> anybody know how i can sync my music collection to my ipod with banshee?  do i need to use gtkpod or is there a plugin or something?
[05:28] <unagi> sudo aptitude remove kdelibs
[05:28] <Flannel> unagi: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[05:28] <rbs-tito_> Bllz: I use rhythymbox
[05:29] <wols_> unagi: that's not the command

[05:29] <eboyjr> wols_; on a scale of 1-10, what would be the rating of the ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF???
[05:29] <andkore> so whats the difference between kubuntu, ubuntu and xubuntu? i know k is kde and u is gnome but are those the only diffs?
[05:29] <wols_> eboyjr: for what? I guess a 2 or so
[05:29] <unagi> woa the decorator just popped up
[05:29] <andkore> and xubuntu is xfce
[05:29] <wols_> eboyjr: if rated very generously
[05:29] <eboyjr> wols_; hah okay
[05:29] <Bllz> rbs-tito, thanks. quick question though:  does rhytmbox support album art?
[05:29] <Flannel> andkore: yes.  Xubuntu is XFCE.  window manager (+ apps for that WM) are the only difference.       And exactly, it takes 5 seconds to add additional ones after you've installed.  Whats the problem?
[05:31] <andkore> wait wait. so the cd doesn't come with each of them?
[05:31] <unagi> !aptitude
[05:31] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[05:31] <osxdude|palmTX> brb
[05:31] <Jamesinator> andkore: You could always watch the intro video in Examples, I think it gives an overview of the philosophy. ;)
[05:31] <andkore> i mean it's not a big deal i'm just curious
[05:32] <andkore> yeah i was just trying to find their reasoning
[05:32] <andkore> checking wikipedia
[05:32] <Flannel> andkore: right.  Each CD has one WM on it.  Xubuntu installs Xubuntu, Ubuntu Ubuntu, Kubuntu installs Kubuntu.  Each only has their own flavor on it.
[05:32] <Jamesinator> Well, I think that joke went over your head.
[05:32] <unagi> !kernal

[05:32] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[05:32] <unagi> why is it that my grub shows 2 kenels of ubuntu
[05:33] <Flannel> unagi: because one is a recovery console, and one is normal boot.
[05:33] <Bllz> I formatted a partition as FAT32 with gparted and now I can't write to it!  anybody know what's up?
[05:33] <osxdude|palmTX> unagi: one is  the on you installed and another is an updated

[05:35] <osxdude|palmTX> S...oh I won't even say anything.
[05:35] <bruenig> more needless gui stuff
[05:35] <andkore> someone said the intro video explains the philosophy of the WM distro names/separation, and i wanted to know where to find it

[05:36] <Flannel> andkore: shrug.  I just basically gave you the reasoning in a nutshell.
[05:36] <andkore> not really
[05:36] <andkore> well i guess i wouldn't know lol
[05:36] <Bllz> andkore, it's Nelson Mandella
[05:36] <andkore> i'm confused bllz
[05:37] <Flannel> andkore: Ask questions, they'll get answered
[05:37] <andkore> that dude worked against apartheid in south africa
[05:37] <andkore> ubuntu is a phrase from south africa
[05:37] <Flannel> andkore: actually, #ubuntu-offtopic is the best place for this discussion.
[05:37] <andkore> i dont see the correlation
[05:37] <andkore> i just wanna find that video
[05:37] <bruenig> andkore, don't know if sitting in a prison is working against apartheid but what Bllz said already
[05:37] <wols_> I doubt shuttleworth sat in a prison ever
[05:37] <bruenig> andkore, http://youtube.com/watch?v=sbgQBocg0zM
[05:38] <andkore> bruenig, he got put in prison b/c of what he did, but anyways i'm completely confused
[05:38] <andkore> ty bruenig
[05:38] <Bllz> andkore, you said somebody explained the philosophy (we're talking about ubuntu, right?) in a video. If we're talking about the same one, that person is Nelso Mandella. I should have been a bit more clear lol XD
[05:38] <andkore> oh i get it now
[05:38] <wols_> andkore: shuttleworth made billions by building thawte. nothing about prison
[05:38] <Flannel> Bllz: no, he's talking about the reasoning for Ubuntu and Kubuntu and Xubuntu.
[05:39] <Bllz> haha yeah i kinda butted into your conversation
[05:39] <Bllz> lol but i guess that's IRC for you
[05:39] <bruenig> nelson mandella contributed code to automatic codec installation didn't he?

[05:39] <andkore> wow i see u guys completely misunderstood me
[05:39] <wols_> Bllz: I doubt nelson meandela even knows de differences between xubuntu and ubuntu. or what gnome is
[05:39] <Bllz> oh.   Or, you have two versions (because you've updated which installed a newer one).
[05:40] <bruenig> need4speed, sudo apt-get install package
[05:40] <andkore> are you kidding me?
[05:40] <travis1> lol "gnomes... in africa?"
[05:40] <Bllz> He's a cool guy though...
[05:40] <wols_> andkore: your discussions is the at the wrrong place here
[05:40] <andkore> i can't believe your seroius
[05:40] <unagi> i have recovery and normal boot twice
[05:40] <need4speed> bruenig i dont want to install it
[05:40] <Bllz> from what i can tell... havent met him personally
[05:40] <wols_> andkore: go to the other channel
[05:40] <need4speed> i want to remove it
[05:40] <Flannel> unagi: different versions.  Check the numbers.

[05:40] <andkore> first of all, why would i intentionally mislead, second of all, i clearly wasn't, third of all, why are you so uptight about keeping "ontopic", it's a bit crazy
[05:40] <wols_> osxdude|palmTX: what drivre do you use that you can't use beryl?
[05:41] <bruenig> or am I thinking add/remove. Which one did mandella contribute to, was it add/remove or auto codec install?
[05:41] <need4speed> i cant remove it

[05:41] <Bllz> alright ... banshee is not recongizing my ipod...
[05:42] <funjon> so, i asked before, and i asked in #ubuntu-server, but noone is there.  does anyone have any idea why apache on a dapper box would ignore "HostnameLookups Off" in apache2.conf and continue performing lookups?
[05:42] <holycow> andkore, signal to noise ratio
[05:42] <holycow> andkore, i agree with you, its a bit nazi but it is meant well
[05:42] <Bllz> oh wait... i lie
[05:42] <holycow> the ultimate benefit is quicker help for noobs
[05:42] <osxdude|palmTX> wols_, .......yes I am using the oldest nVidia driver for my card.
[05:42] <Bllz> it does recognize my ipod, but i just have no idea how to sync to it
[05:43] <wols_> osxdude|palmTX: use the 96.31 legacy driver
[05:43] <osxdude|palmTX> Bllz Drag files.
[05:43] <Bllz> wait... problem solved... sorry for the stream of useless crap comming from me
[05:44] <Stoffer> I'm trying to play a DVD, but I'm getting errors saying that libdvdread has no support for encrypted DVD's.  Is there a package that could fix this?  I've tried other players, but nothing works.
[05:44] <osxdude|palmTX> wols_: i'll try. Thanks.
[05:44] <holycow> !dvdcss
[05:44] <holycow> !libdvdcss
[05:44] <holycow> *hmm*
[05:44] <nalioth> Stoffer: /msg ubotu dvd
[05:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdcss - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:45] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[05:45] <osxdude|palmTX> I think it's searching
[05:45] <holycow> ah there you go
[05:45] <mneptok> holycow: c'mon. you can do better for descriptive adjectives than running afoul of Godwin.
[05:46] <unagi> how do u run a program as root
[05:46] <eboyjr> What is something really cool that Ubuntu can do? ( That you like the best )
[05:46] <unagi> !root
[05:46] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:46] <Stoffer> hmm...searching for dvdcss only came up with 2 packages I already have installed, plus gxine and ogle
[05:46] <Stoffer> the 2 I have are libdvdread and libdvdread-dev
[05:46] <osxdude|palmTX> unagi: enter "sudo" in front of a command.
[05:46] <dr_willis> !dvd
[05:46] <mneptok> eboyjr: cost me nothing
[05:46] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[05:46] <osxdude|palmTX> !beep
[05:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about beep - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:46] <osxdude|palmTX> oh. ok.
[05:47] <holycow> Stoffer, if  you have libdvdcss installed and you still have problems with decrytping there isn't anything you can do but buy a linux versio nof a dvd player ... i think windvd or something offers one but i can't remember
[05:47] <Bllz> what's better, rhythmbox or banshee?
[05:47] <holycow> dvdcss is not legal everywhere, and its a reverse engineer of the encryption used on dvds
[05:47] <holycow> so its not going to be perfect
[05:47] <Stoffer> ic
[05:47] <holycow> and less than 1/10th of a percent of dvds have a problem in my experience
[05:47] <unagi> !ntfs-config
[05:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-config - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:47] <Stoffer> that explains why I couldn't copy it :P
[05:47] <holycow> right
[05:47] <eboyjr> mneptok; ya, but you have to buy the computer. I heard that Dell is/going_to sell comps. with Ubuntu right on it.
[05:48] <Stoffer> but I'm just trying to watch it this time ... lame
[05:48] <seb_tech> i am having a problem with google earth and celestia, i'm a new ubuntu user, can anyone help?
[05:48] <holycow> basically the industry is charging you for a dvd, and when you pay for something like windvd a portion of that money goes back to them
[05:48] <Stoffer> The Man screws me over again!
[05:48] <mneptok> eboyjr: not "going to." "are"
[05:48] <holycow> Stoffer, on top of that, the only products that can play dvds are not only licenced BUT MANDATED to play commercials and that fbi warnin nonsense
[05:48] <CppIsWeird> how do i figure out what drive my wireless card is using?
[05:48] <unagi> is there a flavor of linux similar to ubuntu that runs .rpm?
[05:48] <eboyjr> mneptok; oh ok
[05:49] <holycow> Stoffer, so on licenced dvd playback software, you cant even skip over commercials or the fbi warning
[05:49] <holycow> and you paid twice for the priviledge of watching a dvd
[05:49] <Flannel> unagi: er, there are RPM based distros.  But ubuntu isn't one of them.
[05:49] <Stoffer> holycow, so I need to find a illegal version of dvdcss that does encrypted dvds
[05:49] <holycow> i hope that gives you an overview
[05:49] <eboyjr> Who can tell me what makes Ubuntu BETTER than Windows... that you like most
[05:49] <seb_tech> has anyone had problems with google earth or celestia? other windows(such as tip of the day) are shown behind the planet?
[05:49] <Flannel> eboyjr: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the perfect place to ask that.
[05:49] <holycow> Stoffer, not illegal, dvdcss is legal pretty much everywhere except the us and maybe uk or au don't know
[05:49] <unagi> what are the differences between ubuntu and other flavors.........or at least the main difference
[05:49] <nalioth> eboyjr: join #ubuntu-offtopic for that question  :)
[05:50] <osxdude|palmTX> eboyjr:
[05:50] <holycow> it just can't be included in the default distro because ubuntu is distributed in the us
[05:50] <sayers> Hello
[05:50] <osxdude|palmTX> ...i forgot...
[05:50] <holycow> so you haveto install it your self
[05:50] <eboyjr> Flannel; nalioth; ok thx i will do that
[05:52] <michael_the_choi> I'm having problems with ubuntu on my macbook.  I've just done the kernel change recommended on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook to make it suspend and wake properl, but now it won't work with linux-restricted-modules, seemingly because of a version mismatch, so I'm having no luck with my wireless.
[05:52] <Mr_Gogo> wusa :)
[05:53] <osxdude|palmTX> MtheC: Uninstall the old one.
[05:54] <michael_the_choi> the old one what?
[05:54] <Stoffer> holycow, is there any reason to install libdvdcss and libdvdcss2?
[05:54] <holycow> Stoffer, nope
[05:54] <slavik> are there any IVTC tools for linux?
[05:55] <Bllz> guys i still can't write to my FAT32 partition
[05:55] <Bllz> i formatted it with gnome partition manager
[05:55] <Bllz> but no can do
[05:55] <Bllz> and i think it's mounted
[05:55] <holycow> make sure its mounted rw and owned by you
[05:55] <Bllz> i just don't have permissions...
[05:55] <slavik> Bllz: you think or you know?
[05:55] <Bllz> holycow, how do i do that?
[05:56] <zoidberg_> hey guys how can you watch movies inteneded for the DIVX web player on firefox?
[05:56] <matt__> would anyone know how I could take the soundcard output and stream it over shoutcast or something? I am using VNC for remote desktop but this has no sound, and i was looking for a way to stream sound over the internet using another application to go along with vnc.
[05:56] <Bllz> slavik, i'd go out on a limb to say that i know
[05:56] <michael_the_choi> osxdude|palmTX: The old kernel? the old linux-restricted-modules?
[05:56] <osxdude|palmTX> bllz: login to root smehow and see
[05:56] <holycow> no need to login as root
[05:56] <zoidberg_> hey guys how can you watch movies inteneded for the DIVX web player on firefox?
[05:56] <holycow> this isn't debian
[05:56] <holycow> sudo everything
[05:56] <slavik> matt__: shoutcast could work ... but why would you pipe system sounds?
[05:56] <Mr_Gogo> holy cow!
[05:56] <Mr_Gogo> :)
[05:56] <Stoffer> holycow, well, libdvdread isn't giving me problems anymore, but nothing else works.  You don't think trying gxine over xine would make a difference, do you?
[05:56] <holycow> Bllz, ls -al will list all contents in a folder with permissions and ownership info
[05:56] <Bllz> holycow, it should be owned as me seeing as i formatted it, right?
[05:56] <cdubya> how can I setup a static IP (or is it possible) whilst using network-manager-gnome......so that I can point this machine at a different gateway than the nameserver entry?
[05:57] <holycow> chmod you use to change rw status
[05:57] <matt__> slavik: well sound editing for one
[05:57] <holycow> chown you use for modifying who owns it
[05:57] <holycow> you will use all three in combination with sudo to set perms, ownership of your mount point
[05:57] <slavik> matt__: ahh, then you can use shoutcast with the ability to stream wav
[05:57] <zoidberg_> guys how do you watch DIVX movies in FIREFOX?
[05:58] <matt__> slavik: but from what i see, i can only select a playlist of soundfiles to stream
[05:58] <CVD> after sudo checkinstall, error

[05:58] <Flannel> !paste | CVD
[05:58] <ubotu> CVD: 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)
[05:58] <slavik> matt__: check the config file, also, make sure the directory ends with a slash :)
[05:58] <logreeval> excuse me, but does any one know if ipods can be compatible with ubuntu?
[05:58] <Bllz> i don't even know how to read this ls -al output
[05:58] <holycow> Bllz, *nod* three commands, look up how the work and google examples of how they are used :)
[05:58] <slavik> matt__: why are you editing sound remotely though?
[05:58] <holycow> Bllz, right google that as well
[05:58] <matt__> slavik: well what directory would i choose to be able to send system sounds?
[05:58] <Stoffer> cdubya, I'm sure it does, but I'm trying anything
[05:59] <cdubya> Stoffer, what's the problem?
[05:59] <holycow> Bllz, unfortunately i can only give you the answer, not teach you how to use it
[05:59] <Flannel> CVD: pidgin isn't in the repositories, we don't support it (until gutsy comes out).  Although, it sounds like you've got a bad deb.  MAke sure you get the correct one (from whereever) for your version of Ubuntu
[05:59] <Bllz> lol ugh... 56k ... the joys of new OSs
[05:59] <Bllz> lol
[05:59] <zoidberg_> guys how do you watch DIVX movies in FIREFOX?
[05:59] <Stoffer> cdubya, xine itself is saying it can't find dmux for /dev/dvd, and no other players will play this thing
[05:59] <Bllz> okay. i'll work on it
[05:59] <CVD> a create the deb
[05:59] <cdubya> Stoffer, you tried mplayer?
[05:59] <holycow> Bllz, *nod* just give it time, don't rush too much
[05:59] <holycow> think of it as a game
[05:59] <Stoffer> cdubya, first vlc player was complaining about libdvdread, but I installed libdvdcss2 and still nothing
[05:59] <holycow> when you get bored or tired walk away for a couple of days
[05:59] <CVD> checkinstal
[05:59] <Stoffer> cdubya, yeah, it just crashes
[05:59] <zacwitte> I've got two network cards in my computer and ubuntu sees them as eth0 and eth1 but it only seems to be sending DHCP requests on eth0 which I don't use. How can I remedy this?
[06:00] <holycow> when you come back things will seem crystal and you will think why you ever used windows :)
[06:00] <wols_> zacwitte: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[06:00] <slavik> matt__: no idea, afaik, there is nothing that can pipe /dev/dsp over network ...
[06:00] <wols_> zacwitte: but by default ubuntu will use DHCP on both
[06:00] <osxdude|palmTX> zacwitte: put eth0 in roaming mode.
[06:00] <Bllz> wait, holycow, cant i just type the command to change the ownership of my partition to my username?
[06:00] <zoidberg_> can anyone please help me?
[06:00] <zoidberg_> guys how do you watch DIVX movies in FIREFOX?
[06:00] <holycow> yes you can
[06:00] <holycow> you just need to know where its mounted
[06:00] <dr_willis> I just watch them in a video player program.
[06:00] <Bllz> so the command would be sudo chown /media/sda3
[06:00] <slavik> zoidberg_: downlaod them, then use favorite player :)
[06:00] <matt__> slavik: i use thin clients connecting at various places between the house, connecting to instruments, etc. It would also be useful to just be able to hear sound without having to find the file and stream it over to my thin client
[06:01] <holycow> close sudo chown user.usergroup /media/sda3
[06:01] <Mr_Gogo> zoi: dbl click the xvided avi and the player will install what it needs
[06:01] <cdubya> Stoffer, and you tried everything verbatim from here.......   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[06:01] <holycow> user.usergroup are usually the same for the user you are logged in as
[06:01] <Mr_Gogo> kindo automated :)
[06:01] <matt__> slavik: its hard to explain without it sounding strange
[06:01] <holycow> oopsie
[06:01] <Bllz> okay. my login is louist so that's my user, right?
[06:01] <Mr_Gogo> yup
[06:01] <slavik> matt__: sorry, I don't know how to achieve what you want. I understand what you are saying ...
[06:01] <holycow> sudo chown -R user.usergroup /media/sda3
[06:01] <Bllz> lol now what the hell is a usergroup?
[06:01] <matt__> slavik: thanks
[06:01] <slavik> Bllz: a group of users :)
[06:01] <dr_willis> Bllz,  same as your username  in most cases
[06:01] <Mr_Gogo> :)nice
[06:01] <Bllz> okay
[06:02] <dr_willis> is this a ext2/3 mounted filesystem we are chowning?
[06:02] <Bllz> so chown -R louist.louist /media/sda3
[06:02] <slavik> Bllz: users can be put into groups :D
[06:02] <holycow> Bllz, user accounts are  simply users, and by default they get their own group created to which they become members
[06:02] <slavik> Bllz: colon, not period
[06:02] <Bllz> dr_willis, it's FAT32
[06:02] <Stoffer> cdubya, i'll work through it now
[06:02] <Bllz> okay
[06:02] <dr_willis> Bllz,  Im thinking you are on the wrong trafck then. that chown stuff wont work
[06:02] <cdubya> Stoffer, had you looked at that page already?
[06:02] <bluebanana>  does anybody here use pilot-xfer or pilot-link?
[06:02] <Bllz> dr_willis, how come?
[06:02] <holycow> if you have a user called bob that you created on the system, typically it will automatically have a group named bob also to which it belongs, especially if you used a gui
[06:02] <dr_willis> Bllz,  to read/write a fat/vfat partition it needs the options set at mount time.
[06:02] <husr-001> Is there a way to redirect the internet?
[06:02] <dr_willis> plain and simple. chown/chmoding it most likely wont work
[06:02] <Bllz> aah... that sounds like a step i skipped
[06:03] <slavik> Bllz: you will in effect be running chown on the files in /dev/sda3
[06:03] <bluebanana> I would like to know: How can I make a backup copy of the files on my PDA onto a backup folder in my computer?
[06:03] <slavik> husr-001: how and to where?
[06:03] <Bllz> dr_willis, how do i set the read/write permissions for that partition?
[06:03] <Stoffer_> cdubya, whoa...xchat does not like beryl.... anyway, xchat crashed, what did you say last?
[06:03] <dr_willis> Bllz,  by editing the fstab and puitting in a proper entry for the filesystem. its documented all over the place.
[06:03] <dr_willis> !vfat
[06:03] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[06:03] <cdubya> Stoffer, I wondered if you had already looked at that wiki page before?
[06:03] <eyemean> hi, just wondering, is a wireless network adaptor the same as just having a wireless internet adaptor?
[06:03] <osxdude|palmTX> !fuse
[06:03] <Bllz> wait, dr_willis, it says i'm not the owner though
[06:03] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[06:04] <Bllz> so maybe the chown would work?
[06:04] <Stoffer> cdubya, nope
[06:04] <dr_willis> Bllz,  i doubt if it will work.. since its how mounting vfat/fat works...
[06:04] <Bllz> any harm in trying?
[06:05] <wols_> Bllz: there is no harm in finally reading what ubtou told you about, like I did about an hour ago already
[06:05] <Bllz> aah it says operation not permitted
[06:05] <cdubya> Stoffer, it'll pretty much walk you through the process verbatim. Just follow the directions as they say and you should be good to go. I had it up in no time after I upgraded to Feisty.
[06:05] <Bllz> wols_ did it and got confused
[06:05] <matt__> slavik: i don't know much about the linux sound system, what is /dev/dsp?
[06:05] <matt__> i cant seem to find info about it
[06:06] <Bllz> !fat|bllz
[06:06] <wols_> matt__: the way OSS is accessed
[06:06] <allworld> #list
[06:06] <slavik> matt__: default sound device :)
[06:06] <osxdude|palmTX> !fat | pllz is the correct way
[06:06] <ubotu> pllz is the correct way: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[06:06] <wols_> it'S the old, legacy sound system
[06:06] <wols_> slavik: no
[06:07] <matt__> can it be accessed like a sound file? i know that may be stupid
[06:07] <slavik> no?
[06:07] <wols_> matt__: it's a device file
[06:07] <matt__> ok
[06:07] <slavik> wols_: you sure?
[06:07] <wols_> slavik: yes, very sure. alsa is default. Not OSS
[06:07] <FiZzY> What is the default monitor refresh in Ubuntu dapper live CD? - Because after it loaded Xwindows Ubuntu KILLED my monitor, it won't even turn on now...
[06:07] <wols_> FiZzY: how old is your monitor?
[06:07] <slavik> wols_: does it matter if it's alsa or oss? I am pretty sure matt__ uses alsa
[06:08] <cdubya> I guess you can't configure network-manager-gnome to use a static IP?
[06:08] <FiZzY> wols_, Not that old - it's a NEC 3FGx
[06:08] <wols_> slavik: yes it does
[06:08] <wols_> FiZzY: I asked you a question
[06:08] <matt__> slavik: i use alsa
[06:08] <osxdude|palmTX> FiZzY: change the cord..
[06:08] <FiZzY> Windows does not kill that monitor, I mean what does start at 100hz?
[06:08] <wols_> cdubya: man interfaces
[06:08] <cdubya> kewl, thanks
[06:08] <wols_> FiZzY: ubuntu doesn't
[06:08] <andkore> holycow, re: nazi but well meant: i understand a little more now why they are uptight... i didn't see hte 1000 user count lol
[06:08] <FiZzY> wols_, about 4 years old I guess I don't know when they made the NEC 3FGx
[06:09] <holycow> *nod*
[06:09] <FiZzY> What does it start at... refresh wise?
[06:09] <wols_> tidrion: then it couldn't kill it with too high frequency
[06:09] <roger21> salut
[06:09] <osxdude|palmTX> Whoa, 100Hz? Es muy...ah, what's high in sppanish?
[06:09] <FiZzY> Osx, The power cord?
[06:09] <wols_> FiZzY: only if it's from the early 90s or so it maybe could (even that is very improbable
[06:09] <roger21> is there a package search engine for ubuntu just like for debian ?
[06:09] <awangga_> low
[06:09] <osxdude|palmTX> FiZ, ALL the cords.
[06:09] <wols_> roger21: yes. apt-cache, apt-file, puo. etc
[06:09] <roger21> roh
[06:10] <FiZzY> wols_, They should warn people on the site of that, this may make your monitor literally go "boom" - finito.
[06:10] <roger21> i meant on the web
[06:10] <osxdude|palmTX> At least the power cord.
[06:10] <wols_> FiZzY: ubuntu did not kill your monitor
[06:10] <wols_> roger21: as I said: puo
[06:10] <roger21> oh
[06:10] <osxdude|palmTX> FiZzy: you did. Now find one of those cords and REPLACE 'EM
[06:10] <FiZzY> Wols_, No X - just loaded up the screen went black and the monitor can no longer start.. it was the wind.
[06:11] <osxdude|palmTX> the wind?
[06:11] <roger21> Pyrexia of Unknown Origin ?
[06:11] <FiZzY> osx, Did it same clickity click...
[06:11] <roger21> Prohibited User Operation ?
[06:11] <FiZzY> This is the second monitor that has died when using Ubuntu, both NEC's interestingly enough.
[06:12] <roger21> puc
[06:12] <osxdude|palmTX> FiZzY What? (Qu?
[06:12] <FiZzY> Osx, Yeah the second one...
[06:12] <devcenter> how to cheat rapidshare
[06:12] <Stoffer> cdubya, yeah, well, none of that worked.  I already had everything they mentioned installed, and regionset didn't help (or work)
[06:12] <osxdude|palmTX> Clickity clk?
[06:12] <FiZzY> This is not the first time this has happened, it's the second time.
[06:12] <cdubya> wols_, been there, done that......when I setup the interface as static and restart, network-manager-gnome disappears and the networking applet (the other one that's under System > Administration > Networking.......it comes up....
[06:13] <cafuego> FiZzY: all *ALL* monitors these days have protection against signals with too high a refresh rate.
[06:13] <FiZzY> osx, Yeah the monitor when I press power starts clicking but wont fully turn on and stops by itself - same with the other monitor which Ubuntu/X also killed. - Both are NEC's.
[06:13] <cdubya> Stoffer, so you have all those libraries installed and what's the error xine gives you?
[06:13] <caro> hol
[06:13] <devcenter> i need to download file, but i have to wait 30 minutes
[06:13] <cafuego> FiZzY: If it didn't handle it, the monitor was faulty to begin with.
[06:13] <caro> hi
[06:13] <FiZzY> caf, worked fine with windows for years
[06:13] <FiZzY> hrmm
[06:13] <FiZzY> Anyways what can ya do huh
[06:13] <FiZzY> Shit happens
[06:13] <cafuego> FiZzY: Get it replaced by NEC for a non-faulty one.
[06:13] <devcenter> how to cheat rapidshare
[06:14] <FiZzY> But i'd really like to know what is the rate that the LIVECD starts at
[06:14] <dr_willis> devcenter,  you may have better luck with googling for that info.
[06:14] <FiZzY> is it 90hz, 60hz etc tec?
[06:14] <Stoffer> cdubya, no demuxer plugin availabe to handle /dev/dvd
[06:14] <osxdude|palmTX> FiZzY: It's probably a refresh rate problem 100 Hz probaby
[06:14] <dr_willis> FiZzY,  i thought it was 60. but it may probe the monitor for its  rates it can do.
[06:14] <cafuego> FiZzY: 60
[06:14] <osxdude|palmTX> Holycrap1 does that happen all the time?
[06:14] <Stoffer> cdubya, mplayer says something else, totem something else, vlc something else... etc
[06:14] <osxdude|palmTX> that's a yes
[06:14] <devcenter> dr_willis,
[06:15] <gnychis> if i'm doing a software raid-0, for grub to work, does the /boot need to be at the beginning of the first disk? or does it not matter where it is on the disk
[06:15] <devcenter> but i dont meet
[06:15] <cafuego> gnychis: you don't want to do software raid 0. Or any raid 0.
[06:15] <FiZzY> 60?
[06:15] <matt__> slavik: why did it matter if i was running alsa or oss?
[06:15] <FiZzY> Then it could'nt have been Ubuntu, maybe it was too hot....
[06:16] <gnychis> cafuego: yes i do
[06:16] <cafuego> gnychis: You're aware you lose all data when one disk dies, right?
[06:16] <cafuego> gnychis: And that using lvm would be a much better idea?
[06:16] <gnychis> cafuego: i'm well aware, but i disagree that lvm would be a better idea for what i want
[06:17] <Stoffer> cdubya, you got my last reply right?  w/ the xine error?
[06:17] <cafuego> a single large partition, i hazard
[06:17] <cdubya> yeah, researching for you.....
[06:18] <cafuego> gnychis: oh well... there shouldn't be an issue with /boot being anywhere in particular, but start of either drive is probably a good idea.
[06:18] <cdubya> Stoffer, can you give me the errors for mplayer and vlc?
[06:18] <chasetoys> how do i get the windows media 8 decoder?
