[05:08] <Pygi> gnomefreak: heh? with wget? :/
[05:08] <bur[n] er> ubotu: tell Phocion about repos
[05:08] <Malachi> Not through a browser.
[05:08] <bur[n] er> Phocion: check yer msgs
[05:08] <AMD_> Is it possible to 'browse' network shares on another computer?
[05:08] <bur[n] er> Malachi: totem ;)
[05:08] <pl_ice> spiderworm then what it says? i had few problems with it, re install it (complete removal) don't add the ver 1
[05:08] <Malachi> Mm.
[05:08] <bur[n] er> Malachi: mplayer should do it too if your totem is toast
[05:08] <Belboz99> Okay, I told it to show the disabled sources, but I don't see the Community Maintained (Universe) entries
[05:09] <Pygi> AMD: Windows or Ubuntu computers ? :)
[05:09] <Phocion> sweet thanks bur[n] er...i'll check that out
[05:09] <AMD_> Pygi: samba shares :)
[05:09] <Belboz99> I'm using 5.10 IIRC
[05:09] <bur[n] er> Belboz99: did you "refresh" repositories?  or apt-get update?
[05:09] <spiderworm> pl_ice: im pretty sure i dont have libdvdcss v 1 installed at all but i will double check
[05:09] <bur[n] er> Phocion: np... the wiki is your friend ;)
[05:09] <Pygi> AMD: well, use Places ---> Network servers I suppose :P
[05:09] <zwnj> The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.12-10) does not match your running
[05:09] <zwnj> kernel (version 2.6.12-10-686).  Even if the module were to compile
[05:09] <zwnj> successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
[05:09] <AMD_> Pygi: oh ;) cool
[05:10] <AMD_> Pygi: and what about windows shares ?
[05:10] <zwnj> what should i do to make it work?
[05:10] <Belboz99> bur[n] er, doing that now
[05:10] <bur[n] er> AMD_: same place
[05:10] <Pygi> AMD: the same :)
[05:10] <pl_ice> spiderworm css2 1.2.9-1plf3, that what i got
[05:10] <AMD_> oh :)  thought there was something 'different' about 'em
[05:10] <AMD_> :)
[05:10] <spiderworm> pl_ice: where do i find the version number?
[05:10] <Pygi> AMD: :P
[05:10] <pl_ice> spiderworm got it off synaptic
[05:10] <spiderworm> ah
[05:10] <tosh> Im setting up an ADSL modem using USB, the line is detected so the module is working, I created pap-secrets and if-cfg-ppp0, but what do I need to actually ppp dial the connection?
[05:11] <spiderworm> pl_ice: only command line access here
[05:11] <Belboz99> Okay, I'm able to apt-get install wine finnaly
[05:11] <|Lestat|> bur[n] er: i have it added in there, i changed all instances of eth0 to wlan0, but it still isnt up when i boot up. (i have been having alot of trouble with these dongles tonight)
[05:11] <AMD_> here's something from the windows world that i got used to.  When i would give focus to another text area in windows, the entire text box string would be highlighted.  Possible in gnome ?
[05:12] <Belboz99> anyone know if Filezilla FTP Server runs well on wine?
[05:12] <Belboz99> or if there's something better?
[05:12] <yatesy> err install a native ftp daemon?
[05:12] <pl_ice> spiderworm hm, unintall it, then install again, it worked (even when it showed to me that it was installed etc )
[05:13] <Firefox_Rulez> hi
[05:13] <spiderworm> pl_ice: what repo are you getting it off of?
[05:13] <Pygi> hi hi
[05:13] <djroadstar> hello
[05:13] <djroadstar> i have a question
[05:13] <Pygi> fire away
[05:13] <pl_ice> spiderworm hm, not sure :) how do i check it w/o install again?
[05:14] <djroadstar> after the install, the first reboot there is a problem with the hotplug subsystem
[05:14] <Seveas> pl_ice, apt-cache policy
[05:14] <pl_ice> k
[05:14] <djroadstar> it,s won't boot.....
[05:14] <Pygi> oh, Seveas is back :P
[05:14] <Belboz99> okay, why don't I have permission to view my own hard drive partitions?
[05:14] <existance> I'm trying to reinstall grub from a liveCD, where do i mount boot if it's on the same drive as root (i.e. when i run /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda it can't find /boot)
[05:14] <Seveas> Pygi, ?
[05:14] <Pygi> Seveas: just ignore :
[05:14] <Pygi> :P
[05:14] <Belboz99> I've got a FAT32 that I'm using to share files between by OS'es
[05:15] <djroadstar> nope
[05:15] <Seveas>  /ignore Pygi all
[05:15] <djroadstar> i let him took the hol harddisk
[05:15] <_draken> can someone help me bridge two network cards ?
[05:15] <trappist> existance: you mount the whole hda
[05:15] <_draken> can someone help me bridge two network cards ?
[05:15] <pl_ice> spiderworm   500 http://antesis.freecontrib.org breezy/free Packages
[05:15] <trappist> existance: and chroot to it
[05:15] <pl_ice>         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
[05:15] <existance> trappist, so mount /dev/hda ?
[05:15] <spiderworm> pl_ice: ty, will add that repo and try that libdvdcss2
[05:15] <existance> !grub
[05:15] <ubotu> grub is, like, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[05:16] <spiderworm> i might have to unintall and reinstall libdvdread3 if this doesnt work
[05:16] <pl_ice> my website works :)
[05:16] <existance> trappist, I'm going off the RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows link
[05:17] <djroadstar> i have just fresh installed ubuntu 10.5 on my laptop, but after the install the hotplug subsystem don,t want to start
[05:17] <gnomefreak> 5.10?
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> djroadstar,  what kind of laptop and cpu?
[05:17] <ph8> When my friend starts ubuntu he gets a nice little graphical screen where all the filesystem checks/network config/clock synchronisation that usually happens on startup appears (the usual about 20-30 lines of initiations) - on mine it's not graphical at all it's all just plain text, any ideas how to turn this feature on?
[05:17] <Pygi> djroadster: 5.10 I suppose :)
[05:17] <Seveas> ph8, put your menu.lst on the pastebin
[05:18] <ph8> will do, cheers
[05:18] <trappist> existance: if it tells you different, I guess follow it.  I usually mount / in /mnt/hda, mount --bind /dev /mnt/hda/dev, mount --bind /proc /mnt/hda/proc, chroot /mnt/hda and work from there
[05:18] <Dr_Willis> ph8,  thats a feature i normally disable. :P i perfer the nice text messages.
[05:18] <ph8> K tnk ,
[05:18] <ph8> oops, mistype
[05:18] <Belboz99> okay, apparently /dev/sda9 is already mounted in /media/sda9, but how come I don't have permission to access it?
[05:18] <ph8> I think features are quiet/splash
[05:18] <djroadstar> i,v got a asus av3c with centrino cpu
[05:18] <afief> What is ubuntu belowZero????
[05:19] <Seveas> ph8, ok, if splash is enabled there: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)
[05:19] <mike__> any recommendations for a program to just play wav files that i get in email?
[05:19] <Seveas> and make sure you run breezy ;)
[05:19] <Seveas> afief, the most recent Ubuntu conference
[05:19] <Dr_Willis> mike__,  xmms perhaps.
[05:19] <mike__> Dr_Willis, it won't play it
[05:19] <it4ngo> MATIS : please don't write in CAPS it looks like you are shouting
[05:19] <ph8> ah cheers i tried reconfigure usplash the other day
[05:19] <djroadstar> i,v tryed the 5.10
[05:19] <existance> trappist, that's more or less what it says to do, with some deprecated commands anyway.  I did that and when i run /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda it says could not find device for /boot
[05:19] <spiderworm> pl_ice: whats the line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file for the antesis.freecontrib.org repo, please?
[05:19] <Dr_Willis> mike__,  its possible the .wav is messed up then im, not about to do this "try this,, oh that dont work?" game :P
[05:20] <idefix_> seveas? have I been banned too? I was honorable lately
[05:20] <Seveas> idefix_, ?
[05:20] <Belboz99> why are all my HDD partitions listed at being owned by root?
[05:20] <idefix_> I was banned too a couple of times
[05:20] <pl_ice> !pastebin

[05:20] <trappist> existance: you did a mount --bind /dev /mnt/hda/dev and chrooted to /mnt/hda?
[05:20] <Pygi> belboz: maybe because ubuntu setup does that way? :)
[05:20] <bobw> how can i get my usb mouse to work
[05:21] <Seveas> idefix_, no idea about that, may have been another operator
[05:21] <bobw> i just plugged it in and it dosent work

[05:21] <existance> trappist, mm, what fs do i give for a harddrive?
[05:21] <pl_ice> spiderworm http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6333
[05:22] <trappist> existance: sorry, I meant (for example) /dev/hda1 - partitions, not hard drives
[05:22] <s1gnAl> is there a default root password for new installs?
[05:22] <existance> trappist, oh, then yea
[05:22] <trappist> s1gnAl: no.  you use sudo, with your own password.
[05:22] <Seveas> !tell s1gnAl about root
[05:22] <_draken> can someone help me, as i press adminisator Mode on stuff, i type password but nothing happens ?
[05:22] <existance> trappist, they used mount -o bind /dev /mnt/hda/dev though
[05:22] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell s1gnAl  about rootsudo
[05:23] <s1gnAl> thankyou :)
[05:23] <gnomefreak> yw
[05:23] <ph8> Seveas: Is "Searching for splash image... none found, skipping...
[05:23] <trappist> existance: never heard of that one.  does it work?
[05:23] <ph8> " pertinent?
[05:23] <ph8> during the reconfig
[05:23] <gnomefreak> _draken, did you install ubuntu on that pc?
[05:23] <idefix_> hmm, there are quite a few packages
[05:23] <Seveas> ph8, that's a different splash image :)
[05:23] <existance> trappist, yea i can chroot in fine
[05:23] <spiderworm> thank you pl_ice , very helpful
[05:23] <_draken> kubuntu
[05:23] <ph8> k
[05:23] <ph8> will reboot and find out if it worked
[05:23] <ph8> nothing else i need to do?
[05:23] <trappist> existance: but do /dev and /proc look like you expect?
[05:23] <gnomefreak> _draken, you installed it right?
[05:24] <mevvis> hi
[05:24] <_draken> ya
[05:24] <john__> can anyone help me with cedega (demo)
[05:24] <mevvis> why demo?
[05:24] <trappist> john__: somebody can probably answer a specific question, if you ask it
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> Cedega has a Demo?
[05:25] <existance> hmm, nope, liveCD thinks the hd is hde, but my ubuntu installation says its hda, and in /dev its hde..
[05:25] <gnomefreak> _draken, the user name and password you set during install is what should allow you to access to do things
[05:25] <mevvis> :)
[05:25] <idefix_> there are quite a few packages but webcam is not one of them
[05:25] <pl_ice> unless u pay for cedega Dr_Willis  ... :)
[05:25] <gnomefreak> so when it asks for password that user password would be the one to use
[05:25] <existance> trappist, I've sort of had this problem when I installed ubuntu at first.  Grub used hde in it's commands and I had to change them to hda before it would work
[05:25] <john__> I installed it and installed battlefield two, not instead of exiting out of cedega after it was all installed I closed Terminal which closed cedega, now when I click on the Cedega launch in other applications I get the launch screen for subscribe and play, I click play and nothing happens except that window closes? Any ideas?
[05:25] <trappist> existance: wow. I assume you have an offboard ide card or an onboard raid controller or something.
[05:25] <mike__> is there some special codec to listen to wav files on linux?
[05:26] <mike__> mplayer, xmms, etc won't play these wav files
[05:26] <trappist> existance: try booting the livecd with 'ide=reverse'
[05:26] <pl_ice> john__ first, find out on cedega's w.page if that game is compatible ...
[05:26] <john__> yes it is
[05:26] <john__> very compatible
[05:26] <existance> trappist, so 'boot ide=reverse' at the livecd startup?
[05:26] <john__> but its installed ok
[05:26] <idefix_> what's the difference betwee multiverse and universe?
[05:26] <john__> its cedega itself I can get to open
[05:26] <john__> i mean can't
[05:27] <pl_ice> john__ maybe due to demo ver? ...
[05:27] <trappist> existance: I think it's 'linux ide=reverse' but I've never used the ubuntu livecd so I'm not sure.
[05:27] <gnomefreak> idefix_,  different packages
[05:27] <s1gnAl> holy crap this distro rocks!
[05:27] <john__> pl_ice not much point in a demo if it doesnt work
[05:27] <s1gnAl> <-- first time ubuntu user
[05:27] <existance> trappist, eh, I guess I'll probe around the help file in there if it doesn't work. Be back in a bit hopefully.
[05:27] <Pygi> s1gnAL: hehe :)
[05:27] <pl_ice> john__ yeh :)
[05:27] <s1gnAl> auto updates, gnome desktop hell yea!
[05:27] <Seveas> s1gnAl, welcome :)
[05:28] <s1gnAl> GOODBYE GENTOO!!!!!
[05:28] <john__> I think it is because I closed terminal which forced cedega to shutdown after running it the first time
[05:28] <jared2>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY Thane
[05:28] <john__> but I dont know where cedega is installed
[05:28] <pl_ice> bored i might just change OS of my ipod :)
[05:28] <john__> dont know any commands for it nor nothin
[05:28] <mike__> jared2, oops?
[05:28] <Pygi> s1gnAl: oh, the gentoo thingy :P
[05:28] <pl_ice> jared2 oppppssss ....
[05:28] <john__> all I do know is that it is installed, bf2 is installed on it ok but cedega will not run
[05:28] <Pygi> hoh
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> john__,  the command is like 'cedega' :P i think..
[05:28] <gnomefreak> jared2, its better if you do that in the server tab
[05:28] <jared2> That's I nice one huh?
[05:28] <Seveas> jared2, /msg nickserv set password new_password
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> may want to rerun the cedega demo installer..
[05:28] <jared2> Seveas: Thanks :D
[05:29] <idefix_> lmgts Email uses 0 packages, Email (universe) uses 1 package and Email (multiverse) more than 1?
[05:29] <john__> Dr_Willis, will it removed the game I installed?
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> john__,  no clue..
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> john__,  i doubt it however.
[05:29] <mike__> anyone know why xmms, mplayer, etc won't play these wav files my boss sent me? they're wavs from a pbx from voicemail and sent to me internally i doubt they're corrupted
[05:29] <jared2> I got a space before the  backslash...
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> mike__,  try 'file whatever.wav' see what it says they are
[05:30] <gnomefreak> idefix_, no universe has one type of mail client and multiverse has a different
[05:30] <trappist> mike__: run 'file' on them and see what you get.  if that looks normal try the 'play' command.
[05:30] <gnomefreak> idefix_,  take a look at the hardware site
[05:30] <jared2> but now that I have everyone's attention... I have a question regarding "Connect to Remote Server"
[05:30] <oveh> how do i make linux see hidden files on a cd?
[05:30] <gnomefreak> no i lied
[05:30] <jared2> where does it mount the drives?
[05:30] <gnomefreak> look at packages.ubuntu.com
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> oveh,  Hmm what 'hidden' files?
[05:30] <y_o_u> hello all. just got kubuntu up yesterday, trying to get wireless PCI card working. trying to install ndiswrapper. going along with the attached "readme" with the install, it is telling me to type "make uninstall" and "make", but when i type that in the konsole, it tells me "bash: make: command not found". why? thanks
[05:30] <mike__> trappist, msg0000.WAV: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, GSM 6.10, mono 8000 Hz
[05:30] <jared2> and can I move those icons off my desktop somehow?
[05:31] <mike__> play: command not found
[05:31] <gnomefreak> y_o_u,  install build-essential
[05:31] <y_o_u> gnomefreak, how do i do that?
[05:31] <trappist> oveh: add 'unhide' to the options part in /etc/fstab
[05:32] <oveh> Dr_Willis: i'm installing office2003 with crossover office and it says me cd rom isn't configured correctly
[05:32] <gnomefreak> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:32] <Pygi> you: gksudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:32] <oveh> trappist: ok, trying it
[05:32] <trappist> oveh: crossover office used to fix that for you
[05:32] <Pygi> gnomefreak: gksudo, gksudo, gksudo :)
[05:32] <trappist> oveh: maybe if you don't mount it yourself, it still does
[05:32] <mike__> trappist, play command not found
[05:32] <ph8> cheers Seveas that sorted it right out(!), two further questions. Now that I have this splash screen how can I change it to something cooler/change fonts or anything if at all? And what was the splash screen reconfigure referred to? ;)
[05:32] <trappist> mike__: esdplay?
[05:32] <spiderworm> hey how do i list open ports on my box.... command line?
[05:33] <gnomefreak> Pygi, i thought gksudo was for editing not installing
[05:33] <john__> Anyone here use cedega 5?
[05:33] <mike__> not found
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> john__,  i use the actual comercial version.
[05:33] <nalioth> !gksudo
[05:33] <ubotu> I guess gksudo is Use gksudo to run gtk applications with root priveleges. Using sudo to start gtk apps can scramble your user account permissions.
[05:33] <y_o_u> gnomefreak, how to install build-essential?
[05:33] <nalioth> y_o_u: use synaptic
[05:33] <Pygi> nalioth: using shortcuts :)
[05:33] <john__> Dr_Willis, so do you think it could be because I closed terminal which forced cedega to close during first use of the program?
[05:33] <Seveas> ph8, you can change the artwork but it's not easy (you need to compile it in a specfic format). The splash that the reconfigure refered to is the grub splash (ie: graphical background in grub menu)
[05:33] <john__> Dr_Willis, how do you launch cedega?
[05:34] <gnomefreak> nalioth,  thats what i was saying its used to run apps not install them :(
[05:34] <mike__> trappist, neither found
[05:34] <y_o_u> nalioth: i am a linux noob, i have no idea what synaptic is. is there a howto somewhere?
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> john__,  it used to add a menu entry called "Point2Play" - or with 5.0+ ya just run the command 'cedega'
[05:34] <Pygi> you:  System --> Administration --> Synaptic package manager
[05:34] <trappist> mike__: what does mplayer say when you try to play it?
[05:34] <gnomefreak> y_o_u,  open system>admin>synaptic package manager
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> john__,  cedega 5.0 changted a lot of things.. and annoyed a lot of people.
[05:35] <mike__> trappist, bad stream
[05:35] <psusi> y_o_u: spend 5 seconds looking around your desktop menus... you will find synaptic there which is a program you can use to install or remove packages
[05:35] <y_o_u> thank you
[05:35] <trappist> mike__: sudo apt-get install sound-clients, then esdplay
[05:36] <trappist> mike__: err, make that 'esound-clients'
[05:36] <mike__> okay thanks
[05:36] <idefix_> they always stay with me, the old man said when he was talking about his two kids
[05:36] <trappist> mike__: if all else fails, cat filename.wav > /dev/dsp
[05:36] <john__> Dr_Willis, how do ya runt he command?
[05:37] <psusi> mike__: how long are these files?  maybe they only contain 1 second of silence?
[05:37] <ph8> cheers Seveas
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> john__,  err.. i open up a shell and type 'cedega' if i recall...
[05:37] <ph8> While you're here.. ;)
[05:37] <nalioth> ubotu: tell y_o_u about synaptic
[05:37] <ph8> Are you aware of the problem that a few widescreen laptop users have with fonts?
[05:37] <ph8> Mine are just too large, all the time
[05:37] <ph8> i can't alter the ones in the menu etc either
[05:37] <john__> Dr_Willis, dont work for me, maybes I am closing it wrong each time I install and setup software
[05:37] <y_o_u> nalioth: thanks
[05:37] <ph8> I think i read someone had a similar problem on the forums somewhere
[05:37] <john__> Dr_Willis, which is really weird
[05:37] <xiaogil> how to have the console in english ? LANG=???
[05:38] <ph8> If you haven't heard about it i'll browse there?
[05:38] <trappist> ph8: I follow the "font deuglification howto" to a certain extent for every new install
[05:38] <john__> Dr_Willis, I can't even see the folder in home, maybes I need to chmod something?
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> john__,  no clue.. it may of needed to set some initial demo user in its configs.
[05:38] <trappist> Dr_Willis: may of?
[05:39] <mwe> xiaogil: en_US or en_UK should work
[05:39] <ph8> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=4456
[05:39] <ph8> This one?
[05:39] <rabbit> hi, does anyone here use mail-notification for gmail?
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> trappist,  or they made a special demo version that dont do it taht way.. never messed with the 'demo' version of cedega at all.
[05:40] <trappist> Dr_Willis: I meant to point out that it's "may have"
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> the info on the 'demo' version is a little light also.
[05:40] <Pygi> gnomefreak: heh, what's google? :)
[05:40] <gnomefreak> rabbit,  what do you need ? the server?
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> trappist,  it may of wanted him to fill out some form also. :P
[05:40] <Malachi> Mplayer won't install: says I doesn't like my version of gcc.
[05:40] <mwe> rabbit: I use the one for FF
[05:40] <trappist> sigh.
[05:40] <Malachi> What should I do?
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> trappist,  run the demo and see :P   thats what im about to do. Lol.
[05:40] <rabbit> gnomefreak:  I want a gmail notifier..    mail-notification isn't working for me
[05:40] <gnomefreak> !google
[05:40] <ubotu> google is, like, a very popular internet search engine at http://www.google.com - They also run Gmail at http://www.gmail.com as a free E-mail service.
[05:40] <trappist> Malachi: it does not say "I doesn't like my version of gcc"
[05:40] <rabbit> mwe: what's FF?
[05:41] <mike__> Dr_Willis, can i send you this file to see if you can hear it?
[05:41] <Pygi> gnomefreak: ok, you didn't have to do that :P
[05:41] <john__> Dr_WIllis, I installed it, exitted ok and it wont run and the command cedega does not work but the transgaming drive does exist now
[05:41] <Malachi> trappist: =) Sorry. Hold on...
[05:41] <flogiston> Is there a way to optimese settings for the ATI drivers?
[05:41] <trappist> flogiston: sudo fglrxconfig
[05:41] <pl_ice> rabbit , not hex format ? ....
[05:41] <Malachi> trappist: It says I need version 3.x but I have 4.0.2
[05:41] <trappist> flogiston: if by ati drivers you mean the drivers from ato
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> mike__,  i dont have a linux box with any sound,. and i cant get dcc sends either.. so that wont do any good.
[05:41] <trappist> *ati
[05:41] <gnomefreak> rabbit,  i use gmail-notifier so im not sure how that one is set up but make sure you have the name and password right if it asks for servers make sure you have those right too
[05:41] <trappist> Malachi: first, sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4
[05:42] <flogiston> I mean the fglrx drivers that you install from synaptic.
[05:42] <cratel1> trappist: I think I read that the fglrx drivers don't play nice with suspend and hibernate. Do you know anything about this?
[05:42] <rabbit> pl_ice: hex format for what? where?
[05:42] <gnomefreak> gmail-notifier i type in username and password and it works :)
[05:42] <Insania> can someone help me, if i unplug my cdrom, or plug my windows hdd in, grub doesnt want to boot
[05:42] <Insania> gives error 17]
[05:42] <pl_ice> rabbit FF ? ... hex numbering ... ?
[05:42] <trappist> cratel1: it may be true.  I run them on a laptop, but I don't bother with suspend and hibernate.
[05:42] <Pygi> cratell: no, they are bad especially with hibernate :/
[05:43] <Seveas> cratel1, the latest fglrx drivers are fine
[05:43] <john__> Dr_Willis, got it working! used terminal to go to the transgaming cedega folder in home and used ./ on the demo
[05:43] <Seveas> they hibernate like a charm
[05:43] <trappist> Seveas: excellent news
[05:43] <Seveas> (and even resume ;))
[05:43] <Pygi> Seveas: hm, probably, I don't use lastest version ;/
[05:43] <trappist> maybe I *will* play with some apm goodness
[05:43] <rabbit> pl_ice:   mwe said he "uses the one for FF"   I don't knwo what he meant
[05:43] <ubuntu_> trappist, I used 'ide=reverse' but the liveCD's /dev still uses hde.  I mounted and chrooted into my partition without binding dev, can I use grub-install like that?
[05:43] <Insania> can someone help me, if i unplug my cdrom, or plug my windows hdd in, grub doesnt want to boot
[05:43] <Insania> gives error 17]
[05:43] <Malachi> Needs some dependencies.
[05:43] <Pygi> Seveas: thanks for the info tho :)
[05:43] <Seveas> Pygi, I have debs of them if you're interested :)
[05:43] <arbaalo> hey, got a problem
[05:43] <Malachi> trappist: I'll have to do it later...
[05:43] <rabbit> mwe he or she, sorry
[05:44] <trappist> ubuntu_: 'fraid not. you won't have a usable /dev or /proc, and grub-install will cry.
[05:44] <Pygi> Seveas: hehe, sure :)
[05:44] <flogiston> Which are the latest fglrx?
[05:44] <cratel1> trappist, Seveas, Pygi: I was going to try fglrx to try to save on power consumption. Is this a good idea? I don't care about the 3d performance...
[05:44] <ubuntu_> trappist, it said no BIOS drive :(
[05:44] <trappist> Malachi: you could always just apt-get install it *shrug*
[05:44] <arbaalo> i installed 5.10 and updated all which was to update, and now grub don't see my windows partition at start
[05:44] <pl_ice> rabbit google hexadecimal system
[05:44] <nalioth> cratel1: if you want powersavings, use VESA driver
[05:44] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell arbaalo about grub
[05:44] <Malachi> trappist: It's locked...installing Open Office 2.0
[05:44] <trappist> cratel1: if you don't care about 3d performance, I can't think of a good reason to install fglrx.  but I don't know what if any impact it will have on power consumption.
[05:44] <rabbit> pl_ice:  I'm not sure what I need to do here
[05:44] <ubuntu_> trappist, would manually configuring it work?
[05:45] <ubuntu_> !grub
[05:45] <ubotu> well, grub is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[05:45] <Pygi> Seveas: when you get time, send them over or somethin' :P
[05:45] <trappist> ubuntu_: it still needs a device to install to... and come to think of it, there's no reason you can't install it to /dev/hde
[05:45] <arbaalo> thx, i'll look
[05:45] <gnomefreak> yw
[05:45] <pl_ice> don't know
[05:45] <cratel1> nalioth: will the VESA driver work okay for playing videos and that sort of thing? I want some hardware accelleration. I just don't need 3d.
[05:45] <existance> trappist, ah.. forgot to /nick :/
[05:46] <trappist> existance: heh.
[05:46] <existance> trappist, so i should bind dev and proc and try grub-install with /dev/hde ?
[05:47] <Seveas> !tell Pygi about Seveas
[05:47] <trappist> existance: yeah
[05:47] <nalioth> cratel1: try it. if you dont like it, you can change back to fglrx
[05:47] <Pygi> Seveas: hehe :)
[05:47] <cratel1> nalioth: so how do I choose the VESA drivers?
[05:47] <nalioth> ubotu: tell cratel1 about xcfg
[05:48] <kemik> !tell me about xcfg
[05:48] <nalioth> cratel1: run that command in a terminal and choose the VESA driver
[05:48] <trappist> kemik: /msg ubotu xcfg
[05:48] <nalioth> ubotu: tell kemik about msg the bot
[05:48] <kemik> no need guys
[05:48] <kemik> but it doesnt respond
[05:48] <kemik> guess i'm not identified in nickserv
[05:48] <existance> trappist, uh.... I think I got it to work a different way
[05:49] <nalioth> kemik: you are not identified
[05:49] <Draken2> can someone please tell me why i cant fucking get into linux when my cdrom is unplugged or my windows drive is plugged in ?
[05:49] <kemik> now i am
[05:49] <kemik> :)
[05:49] <existance> trappist, I ran /sbin/grub and set root and ran setup, and it succeeded
[05:49] <nalioth> Draken2: watch your language please, it's not helping anything.
[05:49] <trappist> existance: excellent
[05:49] <existance> trappist, this is before i bound dev and proc
[05:49] <cratel1> nalioth: I tried the command and I get that xserver-org isn't installed. I look for it in synaptic?
[05:49] <Draken2> nalioth, i been asking for last 2 hours
[05:49] <kemik> crap. thought xcfg was a NICE gui way of editing your xorg-conf =)
[05:49] <Draken2> noone helps
[05:49] <nalioth> cratel1: it's xserver-xorg
[05:49] <shammy> then no one knows the answer
[05:49] <existance> trappist, mmm, I don't know why that worked but oh well, guess ill try rebooting
[05:50] <trappist> Draken2: maybe if you wax obscene it'll help
[05:50] <gnomefreak> !someone
[05:50] <ubotu> probably 90% of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and YOU decide? <hint>
[05:50] <nalioth> Draken2: if nobody knows the answer, do you want us to make stuff up?
[05:50] <gnomefreak> that changed :(
[05:50] <psusi> Draken2: probably because you plugged your windows drive in as the primary master, so it becomes the boot drive instead of the linux disk
[05:50] <kemik> Draken2:  probably that you're boot order gets messed  up
[05:50] <Draken2> so how do i fix
[05:50] <kemik> Draken2:  you'll have to edit your bootsequence in BIOS
[05:50] <psusi> Draken2: don't connect your windows drive as the primary master
[05:50] <Draken2> ...
[05:50] <Draken2> psusi
[05:50] <Draken2> im not changing anything
[05:51] <Draken2> just plugging power back in
[05:51] <kemik> Draken2:  well, you'll have to tell BIOS to boot from wherever GRUB was installed
[05:51] <Draken2> how ?
[05:51] <HymnToLife> Draken2 > have you tried reinstalling GRUB ?
[05:51] <Pygi> Seveas: k, got the deb, thanks
[05:51] <Draken2> HymnToLife, the point of that ?
[05:51] <Seveas> Pygi, read the notice, you need at least 2 debs
[05:51] <HymnToLife> !grub
[05:51] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, grub is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[05:52] <kemik> Draken2:  check your motherboard manual
[05:52] <Pygi> Seveas: read, no worry :)
[05:52] <Phocion> hey all one more problem.  I installed NX Server successfully but cannot connect to it on port 22.  I read Ubuntu doesn't have a firewall to block ports.  What's the problem?
[05:52] <Draken2> kemik, im not changing the ide cable dude
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> NX server uses port 22?
[05:52] <trappist> Phocion: ssh listens on 22
[05:52] <nalioth> Phocion: are you using a router?
[05:52] <kemik> Draken2:  you dont have to
[05:52] <Draken2> im just taking the power cable out of cdrom
[05:52] <Phocion> it tunnels through SSH
[05:52] <Phocion> it tunnels through SSH
[05:53] <Seveas> Dr_Willis, nx server is not a real server but uses the ssh server :)
[05:53] <Morrowyn> ubuntu and nvidia is evil
[05:53] <Draken2> how would that stop gurb from doing its job
[05:53] <Phocion> why would it be blocking port 22?
[05:53] <trappist> Phocion: can you ssh to that machine?
[05:53] <Morrowyn> i installed everything , everything works fine, now after power down andboot x wont start on me
[05:53] <Phocion> nope
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> Seveas,  this is 'freenx' ? ive heard of it.. but never actually used it.
[05:53] <trappist> Phocion: what does `iptables-save` give you?  nothing? lines and lines?
[05:53] <Seveas> Dr_Willis, it rocks :)
[05:54] <Phocion> i do have a router but im connecting from inside the network
[05:54] <Phocion> trappist lemme check 1 sec
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> Seveas,  but i tend to do XP->linux type things.. so i use vnc. or is there a NX for xp also?
[05:54] <Seveas> yep
[05:54] <Seveas> it's MUCH better than vnc
[05:54] <Draken2> kemik ?
[05:54] <mike__> how can i convert wavs to mp3s?
[05:54] <Seveas> mike__, transcoe, mencoder
[05:54] <nalioth> mike__: grip
[05:54] <Phocion> it is much better than TightVNC
[05:55] <kemik> Draken2:  what happens when you unplug the CD? nothing at all? any error msg?
[05:55] <Phocion> trappist: iptables-save shows nothing
[05:55] <Bjoern-Erik> mike__: By using an mp3-encoder. And LAME is by far the superior one.
[05:55] <Draken2> kemik
[05:56] <trappist> Phocion: so it's not a firewall issue.  can you connect to the machine any other way? ping?  is anything listening on port 22 on that interface? (netstat -ntlp)
[05:56] <Draken2> error message
[05:56] <kemik> Draken2:  what does it say?
[05:56] <renato> \j #ubuntu-br
[05:56] <Phocion> hmmmmm `ps aux | grep nxserver` doesnt show the nxserver service running
[05:56] <Draken2> error 21, then if i take the power cable from cdrom into the windows hdd, error becomes error 17
[05:56] <trappist> Phocion: are you sure the process is called nxserver?  maybe just grep for nx
[05:57] <idefix_> how many versions of linux are there?
[05:57] <Phocion> yea nothing.....
[05:57] <Phocion> i can ping the machine
[05:57] <Seveas> there is NO resident nxserver process...
[05:57] <Seveas> can you ssh to the machine Phocion ?
[05:57] <fmasi> Hi i like to know hod do i restart my sound sytem becouse i tryng to figure out how to make my skype whork fine (its making bugy sounds or even whorst says ther is a soud problem)
[05:57] <Phocion> lemme try
[05:58] <kemik> Draken2:  try recovering grub then
[05:58] <Phocion> Seveas: Nope :/
[05:58] <Draken2> ker
[05:58] <idefix_> where is the grep command for?
[05:58] <idefix_> it grabs something?
[05:58] <Seveas> Phocion, is  the ssh server installed?
[05:58] <Draken2> kemik, with install cd ?
[05:58] <Phocion> does it not come installed by default?
[05:58] <idefix_> where do I send money?
[05:58] <Seveas> Phocion, did you install freenx using ubuntu packages?
[05:58] <stoneage> idefix_: finding patterns in data streams
[05:58] <Phocion> Seveas: Yes with APT
[05:59] <Seveas> Phocion, from which repository?
[05:59] <Phocion> er no not FreeNX
[05:59] <Phocion> the trial version of NonFreeNX
[05:59] <kemik> !grub
[05:59] <ubotu> grub is, like, totally, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[05:59] <Phocion> heh
[05:59] <Seveas> Phocion, we cannot support that, being closed source.
[05:59] <jankoxp> how is the default ubuntu root password???
[05:59] <Seveas> !tell jankoxp about root
[05:59] <rabbit> when navigating directories in the console the prompt is pre-pended by your current location.  Is is possible to truncate this so that it only shows the most recent directory instead of the full path??  (I can just use pwd if I need to know the full path)
[05:59] <Phocion> im currently using my wlan0 interface with ndiswrapper...could that be a problem?
[06:00] <rabbit> *the current directory I meant ("most recent")
[06:00] <mike__> i need to get these wav files played, if i have to install windows just to hear a wav file its going to suck
[06:00] <Malachi> Installed OpenOffice 2.0; should I get rid of the other version? And how?
[06:00] <Seveas> rabbit, man bash :)
[06:00] <kemik> *gone*
[06:00] <flogiston> What command do i use when i want to se out put from the mouse?
[06:00] <Phocion> Seveas: Does ssh not come installed by default???
[06:00] <rabbit> Seveas: heh, thanks
[06:00] <Seveas> (yes it is possible, you need to set an environment variable ;))
[06:00] <Seveas> Phocion, no
[06:00] <Phocion> doh!!!!
[06:00] <Phocion> well then
[06:01] <Phocion> maybe i should go install that
[06:01] <Malachi> Be right back...

[06:12] <Sh4d0x> erUSUL build-essential?
[06:12] <qwerty> i now get an error of #15
[06:12] <qwerty> what should i do
[06:12] <Sh4d0x> nalioth: kubuntu?? off-topic?? :s
[06:12] <skon> qwerty: a little more information would be helpful
[06:12] <jankoxp> Seveas, thanks for help ;)
[06:12] <psusi> qwerty: what did you change to cause this to break?
[06:12] <uber_spaced> i ran an /sbin/ifconfig and it showed that my external interface had no IP address, so I ran /etc/init.d/network restart, and now it does have an address, but I still cant ping localhost.
[06:13] <cratel1> I edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and now it isn't being read. I undid my changes but still I seem to have broken something. How do I troubleshoot?
[06:13] <qwerty> i didnt change anything
[06:13] <qwerty> i did put slackware on another partition though
[06:13] <uber_spaced> whenever this happens, rebooting seems to fix it, but I dont want to reboot to fix the issue.
[06:13] <radaway> uber_spaced, do you have "<IP_ADDRESS>    localhost"in your /etc/hosts file?
[06:14] <ubuntu_> hi
[06:14] <uber_spaced> radaway, yeppers.
[06:14] <Badm4n> any2 can tellme how to set/configure my postfix ubuntu 5.10 ?
[06:14] <radaway> uber_spaced, odd maybe it's udev eating your loop device
[06:14] <psusi> qwerty: that would ne changing something now wouldn't it?  so slackware broke grub... try reinstalling it from the ubuntu setup cd
[06:14] <nandro> hi all, anyone able to give me a quick answer on if what I am trying to do is possible?
[06:14] <qwerty> psusi: i didnt change anything, but i did install slackware on a nother partition
[06:14] <Markus_P> anybody familiar with recovering grub after reinstalling windows
[06:15] <erUSUL> nandro, just ask
[06:15] <psusi> qwerty: installing slackware definately qualifies as changing something
[06:15] <erUSUL> !ask
[06:15] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Markus_P  about grub
[06:15] <uber_spaced> radaway, well, it's not in there exactly how you've written it; it's like:
[06:15] <qwerty> okay
[06:15] <skon> Markus_P: just put the ubuntu disc in and skip to the grub installation section
[06:15] <uber_spaced> <IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost myhost
[06:15] <Markus_P> gnomefreak,  i am following that guideline
[06:15] <gnomefreak> Markus_P,  ubotu pmed you with grub info
[06:15] <Markus_P> and it is not working
[06:15] <rabbit> Seveas:  still here?
[06:15] <nandro> I have an old pc with a 2.5G HD, and I want to network it with a windows pc running win2000 so I can download torrents to the windows box directly
[06:15] <Markus_P> i've been spending quite a few hours to no avail
[06:15] <existance> what's the GUI config for fglrx?
[06:16] <qwerty> skon: put live disk or install disk
[06:16] <skon> install disc?
[06:16] <nandro> I have had debian see win xp boxes, but for some reason ubuntu has given me problems
[06:16] <robertj> where does the SERVER variable get set that is used by libpam-mount?
[06:16] <qwerty> okay, ill be back in a minuete
[06:16] <robertj> does libpam-ldap have some capacity for setting environment variables?
[06:17] <radaway> uber_spaced, that should work
[06:17] <skon> I've been trying to figure out how to start up a program to a specific workspace...could someone please help?
[06:17] <uber_spaced> radaway, it's resolving to <IP_ADDRESS>;
[06:17] <radaway> uber_spaced, yeah that's you
[06:17] <trappist> skon: in kde you'd use kstart.  maybe gnome has something similar.
[06:17] <uber_spaced> I have apache running and when I do a netstat -tcp, things dont get past SYN_SENT
[06:17] <existance> i have two gfx cards/monitors, the main is ATI and the other is nvidia, how can I get fglrx to see the nvidia one?
[06:17] <Morrowyn> how do i install a webcam under linux?
[06:18] <radaway> uber_spaced, <IP_ADDRESS> always points to the computer you are running
[06:18] <Markus_P> i tried your suggestion skon
[06:18] <uber_spaced> radaway, yes, I know.
[06:18] <Markus_P> but it wouldn't take me past the partition process
[06:18] <olicat> has anyone had any luck getting a d-link wireless dls-G604Y wireless router working with ubuntu?
[06:18] <MrRio> how do i pipe both stdout and stderr into a file?
[06:18] <qwerty> what would this grub command mean: (hd0,5)
[06:19] <trappist> MrRio: man tee
[06:19] <skon> Markus_P: what do you mean? You should be able to get it to fail and then it'll bring you to a menu where you select hwat part of the installation you want
[06:19] <trappist> MrRio: oh hm, misread
[06:19] <Markus_P> i did do that
[06:19] <Markus_P> and it gave me the menu
[06:19] <Markus_P> i chose install grub
[06:19] <Markus_P> and it just brings me back to the manual partition screen
[06:20] <rabbit> when navigating directories in the console the prompt is pre-pended by your current location.  Is is possible to truncate this so that it only shows the current directory instead of the full path??  does it have anything to do with the $OLDPWD variable?
[06:20] <mike__> this is ridiculous, why can i not play these wav files
[06:20] <trappist> MrRio: > is to pipe stdout, 2> is for stderr... so maybe 2>&1
[06:20] <Markus_P> i' m almost at the point of reinstalling ubuntu
[06:20] <skon> Markus_P: does it say grub was installed successfully?
[06:20] <Markus_P> i've wasted about 4 hours on it
[06:20] <Markus_P> i've read every tutorial on the net
[06:21] <Markus_P> no
[06:21] <steve__> can sommone recoomend a good gui ftp client?
[06:21] <InverseCow> Hello. :-)
[06:21] <Markus_P> it doesn't do anything but take me back to the manual partition screen
[06:21] <tenshi> i cant open .rar files, can someone help me?
[06:21] <No1Viking> Seveas, have a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6334. Did I do wrong?
[06:21] <kemik> steve__:  gftp perhaps
[06:21] <skon> MarkusP: did you try rebooting it after you tried restalling it?
[06:21] <Markus_P> i've also used the suggestion made by ubotu
[06:21] <MrRio> trappist, cheers, ive got this_cmd > combined_results 2>&1
[06:22] <Markus_P> which uses the live cd
[06:22] <Markus_P> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[06:22] <Markus_P> i get that error when i try to automatically install grub
[06:22] <Kindred> skon, with your workspace problem you might want to look at devilspie, I haven't used it but I think it can do what you want
[06:22] <trappist> MrRio: that works?
[06:22] <Markus_P> i am positive that i do not have a boot partition
[06:22] <skon> Kindred: thanks
[06:23] <khermans> I want to have an undetermined var be an argument to a command -- how can I do this?  ie this doesn't work --> echo "myargs" | runthis
[06:23] <tenshi> i cant open .rar files, can someone help me?
[06:23] <rabbit> when navigating directories in the console the prompt is pre-pended by your current location.  Is is possible to truncate this so that it only shows the current directory instead of the full path??  does it have anything to do with the $OLDPWD variable?
[06:23] <khermans> tenshi, aptitude install rar
[06:23] <No1Viking> Anyone, have a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6334. Did I do wrong?
[06:23] <Markus_P> has anyone here actually reinstalled grub after reinstalling windows?
[06:23] <skon> tensi: sudo apt get install rar
[06:23] <Dr_Willis> tenshi,  use the unrar commands from the shell. not the gui archiver tools - perhaps.
[06:23] <tenshi> this i tried
[06:23] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  yes.. dozens of times.
[06:23] <InverseCow> tenshi, Check out this link in the Wiki:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[06:23] <tenshi> but no such command known
[06:23] <Markus_P> can you help me please
[06:23] <jackobill> what's the last kernel for breezy in uptdates?
[06:23] <nalioth> tenshi: install unrar-nonfree
[06:23] <tenshi> i installed unrar
[06:23] <Markus_P> please
[06:23] <existance> Markus_P, I just did actually
[06:23] <tenshi> zoh, ok
[06:23] <trappist> khermans: runthis $myargs or for arg in $myargs; do runthis $arg;done
[06:24] <tenshi> zill try this
[06:24] <existance> !grub
[06:24] <ubotu> I heard grub is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  i spent a day or more reading and learning the ins and outs of GRUB. :P then its easy.
[06:24] <tita> hola
[06:24] <MrRio> trappist: yeah works great
[06:24] <Markus_P> i don't want to reinstall a perfectly fine install of ubuntu

[06:25] <steve__> im trying to install gftp but i cant find it on synaptic.  i need to add repositories but i cant find a howto on the site can someone point me at the proper link?
[06:25] <Markus_P> i gathered info from my menu lst and fstab

[06:25] <nalioth> ubotu: tell steve__ about repos
[06:25] <nalioth> steve__: enabled universe and multiverse
[06:25] <karlan> im having troubles with my Grub setting. i have both ubuntu and win xp on this comp, but after updating to the newest linux, i cant boot xp ?
[06:25] <nalioth> !de
[06:25] <ubotu> de is probably Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu und Kubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de resp. #kubuntu-de
[06:25] <error> thanks
[06:26] <Markus_P> i'm wondering if because there has been a kernal update since the turtorial was written that maybe the instructions are wrong
[06:26] <steve__> !easysource
[06:26] <Markus_P> is that possible
[06:26] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, easysource is For an easy to use custom sources.list configurator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[06:27] <Markus_P> or would a linux kernal upgrade not make that much difference
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> kernel update shoul;dent affect grub.
[06:27] <Markus_P> thats what i figure
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> unless the grub menu config some how got altered wrongly.
[06:27] <Markus_P> it won't let me reinstall it
[06:27] <karlan> Dr_Willis, yeah, but i changed the grub config so i didnt have several ubuntu boots, and that has worked fine since i updated
[06:27] <gnomefreak> Markus_P,  did you try update-grub?
[06:28] <Markus_P> no
[06:28] <Markus_P> it wasn't listed as a step
[06:28] <gnomefreak> try it see if it makes a difference
[06:28] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis, not true i made a kernel update yesterday and it changed the root= line in all my custom made stanzas so i coul not boot. i have to boot with live cd and edit menu.lst
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> karlan,  theres a setting that can auto-limit it to showing just the last 2 or so. :P
[06:28] <Markus_P> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[06:28] <Markus_P> thats the howto i'm trying to use
[06:28] <karlan> Dr_Willis, oh, ok :) it was someone here that told me i could change it manually
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL,  sounds like a bug to me.
[06:29] <karlan> :C
[06:29] <Markus_P> is that the same one you used Dr_Willis ?
[06:29] <karlan> Dr_Willis, any idea how i can fix this? :)
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> theres a lot of interesting 'settings' that ubuntu does in the grub config. worth reading the fuile a few times.
[06:30] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis, yeha have to live with it. anyway i use custom kernels i may have to avoid kernel install/update
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  ive done it soo many times with other disrtos.. i  can muddle my way through it withiout that url :P
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL,  custome kernel :P i aint had to mess with a custome kernel in ages.. *yea*
[06:30] <uber_spaced> radaway, when you said ' odd maybe it's udev eating your loop device', I think you may have been on to something
[06:30] <Markus_P> could you take a look at it for me .....
[06:31] <Markus_P> see if it looks ok?
[06:31] <Markus_P> i'm really stuck
[06:31] <uber_spaced> I can refer to my machine with my IP address, but not localhos or <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:31] <trappist> Dr_Willis: most people don't "have to" use custom kernels, but there are still plenty of reasons to do it
[06:31] <uber_spaced> my lo looks like it's borkded.
[06:31] <uber_spaced> is there a way to fix that?
[06:31] <gnomefreak> Markus_P,  can you paste the grub config file in pastebin?
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  what is the system not doing/doing?
[06:31] <karlan> where is the grub config located?
[06:31] <trappist> uber_spaced: ifconfig lo <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> its GRUB 101  day here on #ubuntu
[06:31] <trappist> uber_spaced: with sudo of course
[06:31] <radaway> uber_spaced, yeah I think that's what is happenning sadly my expertise are not enough to help you with that :/ maybe update your udev or kernel
[06:32] <Markus_P> well i reinstalled windows
[06:32] <Markus_P> and i can't get the grub menu to come up
[06:32] <pmjdebruijn> My Realtek 8169 is being recognized as a Realtek 8129, this happened after I installed some upgrades, so I guess my PCI id map got borked or something? What package contains the PCI ids?
[06:32] <Markus_P> windows re wrote the mbr
[06:32] <uber_spaced> trappist, that seemed to fix it; now If i could isolate the cause...
[06:32] <Pygi> markus: windows replaces grub L.
[06:32] <trappist> uber_spaced: and make sure you have something like "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost" in /etc/hosts
[06:32] <mike__> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?postid=62219 <---i have the same problem, please help me
[06:32] <uber_spaced> trappist, yes, I do.
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  windows over wrote the mbr, you mearly need to some how boot back to the ubuntu install and rerun the grub installer.
[06:32] <gnomefreak> Markus_P, your using windows now?
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  you still have the ubuntu install cd?
[06:32] <Markus_P> no
[06:32] <trappist> uber_spaced: I've noticed that on ubuntu, if other devices fail to start at boot, lo will fail to start also.
[06:32] <Markus_P> i'm using ubuntu live right now
[06:33] <trappist> uber_spaced: other network devices, I mean
[06:33] <Markus_P> yes Dr_Willis  i still have the install
[06:33] <uber_spaced> the problem usually happens a couple of hours after I am on the box; the address on eth0 will just dissappear.
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> ahh you are on the live cd even now. :P good
[06:33] <gnomefreak> i found its easier to re-install ubuntu but all depends on what you have saved in ubuntu
[06:33] <Pygi> Markus: good, then put in the install cd, and go to the grub installer :P
[06:33] <Markus_P> well
[06:33] <trappist> uber_spaced: and take lo with it?
[06:33] <Pygi> willis: hehe :)
[06:33] <uber_spaced> trappist, it looks like it did this time.
[06:33] <Markus_P> i'm thinking i'm at the point of reinstalling ubuntu
[06:34] <trappist> uber_spaced: sucky
[06:34] <uber_spaced> I didnt see the lo thing before because I didnt notice it i guess.
[06:34] <mike__> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?postid=62219 <---i have the same problem, please help me
[06:34] <Pygi> gnomefreak: why suggesting reinstall? :/
[06:34] <uber_spaced> well, at least I dont have to reboot.
[06:34] <gnomefreak> Pygi,  i didnt i said i found that easiest for me
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> reinstallimng grub should be a rather trivial task.. but it does help if you understand how grub and the booting system works.
[06:34] <Pygi> gnomefreak: well, that's almost the same :P
[06:34] <gnomefreak> ive tried the grub fixes and none worked for me
[06:34] <Markus_P> well Dr_Willis  i figured the same thing
[06:34] <moots>  I just installed Ubuntu 5.04 onto my laptop which is a Dell Inspiron 1100 and I have been having problems with not being able to change out of the 640x480 screen resolution.  I have gone in the X server and changed the monitor settings and nothing seems to help.  I have checked forums and I'm lost to as why it does work.  Does anyone have any ideas?
[06:35] <Markus_P> i did lots of reading before reinstalling windows
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows   - seems rather clear to me. :P
[06:35] <Markus_P> figured i understood it
[06:35] <Markus_P> well i follow it to a tea
[06:35] <uber_spaced> trappist, yeah, it's really annoying.
[06:35] <Pygi> moots: go to /etc/xorg.conf
[06:35] <Markus_P> and it's not working
[06:35] <Pygi> moots: go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:35] <Chris_in_the_uk> hey all, can someone remind me of the command line command for downloading bit torrents?
[06:35] <karlan> how do i create a bootdisk on a floppy to boot ubuntu instead?
[06:35] <moots> pygi, i'm there
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  you still get no menu eh.. means ya proberly did somtning wrong. Lol.
[06:36] <Markus_P> well i pasted almost everything
[06:36] <Pygi> well, in screen section, rearange resolutions so that the one you wanna use is first
[06:36] <Markus_P> cept of course my hard drive info
[06:36] <MrRio> Chris_in_the_uk: btdownloadcurses
[06:36] <jono> hi all
[06:36] <Chris_in_the_uk> MrRio: Cheers
[06:36] <Morrowyn> when i double click the cdrom, it gets noexec mounted , any idea where i can remove this noexec thing?
[06:36] <moots> yeah, it's set for the right sizes
[06:36] <Markus_P> okies
[06:36] <Markus_P> i give up
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  if you Knwo the Grub style names for your hard drives - you can use  the section called  "Recovering GRUB Manually"
[06:36] <Pygi> moots: have you restarted X?
[06:36] <jono> I just tried compiling 2.6.14 on breezy and I get Kernel panic- not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) - is this an initrd related problem?
[06:36] <moots> yep
[06:36] <Markus_P> i did that
[06:36] <Markus_P> got errors too
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  HOWEVER - if you added a new partition or some how altereed the order.. you will need to make changes to the hd0,0 and so forth.
[06:37] <Markus_P> nothing should have changed
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> what/where did you reinstall windows to?
[06:37] <Markus_P> i just formated the c drive and reinstalled windows
[06:37] <cowbud> what is the easiest way to compare to files and spit out just the difference without any special > < characters in it. Can you do that with diff?\
[06:37] <Markus_P> didn't mess with any partitions
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> and C: had always been the windows drive?
[06:38] <Markus_P> yep
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> Im betting ya did some typo somewhere. :()
[06:38] <derms> how come ubuntu's gcc doesnt work right
[06:38] <Markus_P> i've retried it 3 or 4 times now
[06:38] <lucasvo> derms: you need to install it
[06:38] <derms> tell lucasvo i did
[06:39] <yuacht> ok im trying to do a fresh install of ubu 5.10 on my new 80gb harddrive... but when it comes to "installing the 'grub' package..." everything just stops, no load, no movement... nothing, it's like it freezes... any ideas?
[06:39] <Pygi> moots: just a sec pls
[06:39] <Markus_P> everything appears to working up until i try to recover grub automatically
[06:39] <radaway> derms, doens't work right?
[06:39] <derms> now when i try to configure this program it keeps spitting out that gcc can't create executables
[06:39] <gnomefreak> derms, did you install build-essential?
[06:39] <Markus_P> so that tutorial i shared with you Dr_Willis ..... says to try and recover grub manually
[06:39] <Pygi> moots: tried dexconf?
[06:39] <khermans> I've set my alias in bash_profile, but it doesn't work!
[06:39] <Markus_P> which gives me more errors
[06:39] <moots> no, i havent heard of that
[06:39] <Morrowyn> how to disable the noexec option on the ubuntu auto mount stuff ?
[06:40] <derms> i didnt gnomefreak, thanks very much for the suggestion, im very new to linux
[06:40] <gnomefreak> derms,  you may not have the gcc base insalled or the wrong compile command or wrong gcc for the code?
[06:40] <Pygi> moots: start that in command line
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,   Until? hmm thats an alternative method. you should be able to just  boot the live cd. and in a root shell, run 'grub' and type those commands.
[06:40] <MickMcMack> Zomg, Mick has sound, after 3 months of struggling. x)
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> Markus_P,  no need to mount stuff or do the other things at the start.
[06:40] <moots> it doesnt do anything
[06:41] <moots> just starts a new blank line
[06:41] <Pygi> it "configures" X server again
[06:41] <Pygi> try restarting X
[06:42] <moots> how?
[06:42] <didier> what
[06:42] <Pygi> moots: CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE
[06:42] <gnomefreak> ctrl+alt+backapce is one way
[06:42] <moots> ok
[06:42] <MrRio> moots: better if u log out first
[06:42] <gnomefreak> moots
[06:43] <Pygi> gnomefreak: backapce :D
[06:43] <gnomefreak> lol oops
[06:43] <Pygi> hehe :)
[06:43] <Draken-ow> err,
[06:43] <Draken-ow> i need help with grub ppl
[06:43] <gnomefreak> my typing is gettting worse
[06:43] <Draken-ow> how do i add a linux install to it
[06:43] <Pygi> gnomefreak: will be better :)
[06:44] <moots> it says something about permission denied
[06:44] <gnomefreak> moots use sudo
[06:44] <khermans> I can set my alias for bash from the command line, but i want to make it permanent -- sticking it in bash_profile or bash_aliases has no effect -- any help?
[06:44] <gnomefreak> wait a min.
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> gesh its grub day today. :P
[06:45] <gnomefreak> moots restarting X shouldnt need permissions
[06:45] <moots> ok, it now just gives me a new line like before
[06:45] <karlan> Dr_Willis, would it work to reinstall grub? would that make a default setting?
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> khermans,  those files get read at login.   you use .bashrc or .bash_profile
[06:45] <Draken-ow> __
[06:45] <Draken-ow> # For booting Linux
[06:45] <Draken-ow> title  Woody
[06:45] <Draken-ow> root (hd0,0)
[06:45] <Draken-ow> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-devfs-ntfs-2.1.3
[06:45] <Draken-ow> initrd /boot/miniwody1.gz
[06:45] <Draken-ow> can someone help me set that for mine ?
[06:45] <khermans> Dr_Willis, i am using my ~/.bash_profile
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> karlan,  grub gets ont he MBR. and it then looks for the menu config file..  its that simple. :p
[06:46] <gnomefreak> Draken-ow,  please dont paste in here use pastebin
[06:46] <Draken-ow> ok gnomefreak
[06:46] <Draken-ow> can u help me thou ?
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> khermans,  that file gets read only by new LOGIN shells..    toss in a line like "echo 'this is .bash_profile'  "  tjhen try xterm, and xterm -l (i think) theres a diffreance
[06:46] <nalioth> Draken-ow: the /topic is for folks to read when the enter channels (ours mentions using a pastebin to paste)
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> khermans,  most likely you want the changes in .bashrc
[06:46] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Draken-ow about grub
[06:47] <khermans> Dr_Willis, ah ok thankss -- yeah even opening a new gnome-terminal had no effect
[06:47] <nalioth> khermans: put them in ~/.bashrc
[06:47] <derms> is there an APT package for gtk?
[06:47] <ice-t> WAAA! the windows-installation just killed all my partitions on the harddisk
[06:47] <nalioth> derms: yes there are. plenty of them
[06:47] <fyrzen> happened to me once...
[06:47] <khermans> ice-t, doubtful unless you chose t format
[06:47] <rolphin> Hi everyone, my usbkey is correctly detected but konqueror tries media:/sda, and my key is mounted on /media/usbdisk ? What can I do ?
[06:48] <MickMcMack> ice-t, probably not - it probably just overwrote the MBR.
[06:48] <karlan> Dr_Willis, well, how come my recent mbrlist got overwrited?
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> khermans,  theres a logic and reason for this stuff. :P but its been aroudn for so long.. a lot of the reasons dont apply much,.
[06:48] <karlan> i only got a windows xp (loader) in the list now
[06:48] <ice-t> MickMcMack, gparted doesn't find any partition
[06:48] <karlan> and that wont work at all
[06:48] <MickMcMack> xD
[06:48] <john__> what is everyone's favourite mp3 players?
[06:48] <MickMcMack> mplayer. x)
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> karlan,  then your menu list/grub config  some how got  messed up it seems.
[06:48] <ice-t> xmms (it was :-()
[06:48] <khermans> john__, many like MPC/MPD
[06:48] <fyrzen> bmp
[06:48] <karlan> Dr_Willis, do you know where the config is located?
[06:48] <ice-t> kaffeine was good, too
[06:49] <khermans> john__, xmms, rhythmbox, etc are alternatives
[06:49] <john__> cool
[06:49] <gnomefreak> /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:49] <khermans> john__, amarok is great for KDE
[06:49] <Draken-ow> sigh gnomefreak
[06:49] <john__> and mpc/mpd for gnome?
[06:49] <Draken-ow> can u not just help me
[06:49] <Draken-ow> i dont know wat kernal name is
[06:49] <gnomefreak> Draken-ow,  did you read the pages ubotu sent you?
[06:49] <Draken-ow> yes
[06:50] <Draken-ow> just blabber to me
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> karlan,  grubs config is in /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf - as i recall.

[06:50] <Draken-ow> yes Dr_Willis
[06:50] <Draken-ow> i dont know wat to do

[06:51] <john__> MrRio, qt?
[06:52] <MrRio> rolphin: keeps buffering? the xine-engine is by far the best, give that a go
[06:52] <rolphin> MrRio: ok i'll try
[06:52] <nalioth> Draken-ow: the web sites have info to help you.
[06:52] <MrRio> john__,  yeah, qt is to kde what gtk is to gnome

[06:53] <gnomefreak> this is a help channel not a do it for me channel :(
[06:53] <Draken-ow> gnomefreak
[06:53] <Draken-ow> its not a redirect to website channel ethier
[06:54] <nalioth> Draken-ow: we aim to help folks help themselves here.
[06:54] <gnomefreak> Draken-ow,  anyone can tell you how to do it but that doesnt help you
[06:54] <Draken-ow> i dont want to learn how to run grub
[06:54] <Draken-ow> i just want to get windows and linux booting together
[06:54] <gnomefreak> Draken-ow,  you came in here asking how to change grub
[06:55] <Draken-ow> no gnome
[06:55] <BxL> people who fear learning are funny
[06:55] <stephan> could someone tell me how i could install some MP3-Pugins or similar?
[06:55] <Draken-ow> i came to ask wat kernal name is
[06:55] <Draken-ow> nothing else
[06:55] <gnomefreak> Draken-ow,  you asked how to put woody in the grub config file
[06:55] <nalioth> ubotu: tell stephan about mp3
[06:55] <afief> **kernel name
[06:55] <Draken-ow> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-devfs-ntfs-2.1.3
[06:55] <Draken-ow> initrd /boot/miniwody1.gz
[06:55] <Draken-ow> i need those two lines
[06:55] <olicat> has anyone had any luck getting a d-link wireless dls-G604Y wireless router working with ubuntu?
[06:55] <john__> ubotu: tell john__ about mp3
[06:56] <Draken-ow> just for ubuntu
[06:56] <olicat> sorry, thats a DSL-G604T router
[06:56] <gnomefreak> Draken-ow,  to get kernel for ubuntu type in terminal uname -r
[06:56] <Draken-ow> dude
[06:56] <fyrzen> anyone manage to install real player on Breezy?
[06:56] <gnomefreak> that will give you the kernel
[06:56] <Draken-ow> i cant get into linux anymore
[06:57] <afief> fyrzen: yes installed flawlessly
[06:57] <fyrzen> the link to the .deb package on real.com is always dead, i used alien to convert the .rpm to deb but it didn't qork well
[06:57] <fyrzen> afief - where'd you get it from?
[06:58] <nalioth> fyrzen: try the helix player
[06:58] <afief> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-848295cba1b3591a4b4a0dbea5844fd5d2894b6b
[06:58] <fyrzen> thx i'll do that
[06:58] <Draken-ow> gnomefreak
[06:58] <afief> always check wiki.ubuntu.com first(i learned that two days ago:))
[06:58] <gnomefreak> Draken-ow,  you running windows right now?
[06:58] <Draken-ow> yes
[06:58] <Draken-ow> ive got grub for windows
[06:59] <gnomefreak> you cant change grub from windows to begin with that im aware of
[06:59] <Draken-ow> err
[06:59] <Draken-ow> i got grub for windows
[06:59] <Draken-ow> dont worry about that
[06:59] <gnomefreak> Draken-ow,  i dont know anything about "grub for windows" :(
[06:59] <Draken-ow> it works
[06:59] <Draken-ow> dude
[06:59] <Draken-ow> its same thing
[06:59] <Draken-ow> kubuntu-5.10-install-i386.iso
[06:59] <Draken-ow> with that
[06:59] <Draken-ow> wat would the kernal thing i need be ?
[07:01] <erUSUL> !enter
[07:01] <ubotu> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
[07:01] <gnomefreak> latest breezy kernel was 2.6.12-10 or 2.6.10-12?
[07:01] <gnomefreak> i dont remember :(
[07:01] <Draken> gnomefreak
[07:01] <BxL> 2.6.12-10-
[07:01] <Draken> kubuntu-5.10-install-i386.iso
[07:02] <Draken> i used that to install
[07:02] <gnomefreak> ty BxL
[07:02] <Draken> wat would my kernal thing be ?
[07:02] <flixil> 258
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> the kernel version - would be whatever one you last updated to, and booted from.
[07:04] <flixil> /me is only trying to think... And he's having problems
[07:04] <flixil> ouch xD
[07:04] <gnomefreak> Draken,  my suggestion is to read the how-tos for grub when you have more time seeing as we dont know anything about your system and how its partioned and nothing like that
[07:05] <Khisanth> you can use "uname -r" to see which kernal you are currently using
[07:05] <gnomefreak> why not i can
[07:06] <gnomefreak> the output from it was 2.6.15-8-386
[07:06] <BxL> using a 386 kernel is quite weird
[07:06] <gnomefreak> not for a p2
[07:07] <BxL> true that
[07:07] <gnomefreak> sorry Khisanth  i read that wrong :((
[07:08] <gnomefreak> yeah see i gave him that command 20 mins ago he could have read the wiki and fixed it by now :(
[07:08] <BxL> :( indeed
[07:09] <GameCat> hi - can anyone help me figure out why apache2 won't serve https:// ?
[07:09] <trappist> GameCat: you have to configure it to do so
[07:09] <GameCat> trappist: i thought I had :)
[07:09] <Stormx2> I must use X11 with 8 bit color depth. how do I go about this?
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> Stormx2,  Must?
[07:10] <GameCat> I have the site files edited and in the right places, the cert generated, the document root set
[07:10] <oveh> what im client to people use? amsn, gaim other?
[07:10] <Stormx2> Dr_Willis: for something I am trying ;-)
[07:10] <moots> gaim
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> this sounds like one of those odd "i have to do...." questions where the user is confuised. Lol...
[07:10] <gnomefreak> Stormx2, if you want to change it do it in the xserver-xorg config file
[07:10] <cmatheson> Stormx2: change the 'DefaultDepth' in your xorg.conf file to 8
[07:10] <Stormx2> ok
[07:10] <GameCat> trappist: basically, I've done everything on breezy that i did on hoary, and it doesn't work :/
[07:10] <Stormx2> where is my xorg.conf file?
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> start a vnc session and vncviewer  thats only 8 bit color. is an easier test
[07:10] <Raskall> what tools can I use to tune my sata harddrive in ubuntu? my values from hdparm -tT is way lower than hits I've found on google with the same hardware.
[07:10] <oveh> moots: is it possible to set a personal picture in msn with gaim?
[07:10] <fyrzen> /etc/X11/
[07:11] <moots> no idea
[07:11] <trappist> GameCat: define "doesn't work" (and never use that phrase again :))
[07:11] <cmatheson> oveh: yes, do it in the accounts option dialog box
[07:11] <yuacht> ok im trying to do a fresh install of ubu 5.10 on my new 80gb harddrive... but when it comes to "installing the 'grub' package..." everything just stops, no load, no movement... nothing, it's like it freezes... any ideas?
[07:11] <moots> should be
[07:11] <yuacht> it's a SAtA drive
[07:11] <Stormx2> Dr_Willis: No can do. I'm playing MP3s with my monitor =D
[07:11] <gnomefreak> sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:11] <GameCat> trappist: browsers cannot connect - apache starts/restarts fine with ssl configs in place
[07:11] <AndrewX> "Kernel Panic: VFS: not syncing" errors at boot on a clean install of Breezy. I got both an IDE and SATA drive and I think that's it, but can't figure out what to do to get it to boot.
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> Stormx2,  Huh? that made no sence.. dare we ask WHAT you are doing that you need 8 bit color?
[07:11] <oveh> cmatheson: thanx :)
[07:11] <gnomefreak> may want to use gksudo there
[07:12] <trappist> GameCat: can't connect as in they timeout? connection refused? permission denied? what?
[07:12] <Stormx2> Dr_Willis: Playing Mp3s with my monitor. I told you ^_^
[07:12] <gnomefreak> Dr_Willis, asking those questions tend to hurt sometimes :)
[07:12] <joeljkp> i'm using alsa with oss emu and alsa-based esd; i have 2 sound cards, the first of which doesn't work; when i use an oss app, i can't hear anything; how do i set the default sound card for oss apps?
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> Stormx2,  good luck.. have a nice day.. good by.. :P
[07:12] <GameCat> trappist: An error occurred while loading https://localhost: Could not connect to host localhost.
[07:12] <GameCat> trappist: and I've checked, it's not iptables stopping it :)
[07:13] <Stormx2> Dr_Willis: I've already played music on it with eliza, but mp3 is the next level ^_^
[07:13] <cmatheson> joeljkp: i think the only way to make a "default" is just to symlink the one you want to use to /dev/dsp and rename the other one to /dev/dsp2 or whatever
[07:13] <Stormx2> brb, restarting X
[07:13] <trappist> GameCat: fuser -v -n tcp 443
[07:13] <joeljkp> cmatheson: but how does that interact with udev?
[07:13] <GameCat> trappist: 443/tcp              root      13284 f....  apache2
[07:14] <GameCat> trappist: several times
[07:14] <fyrzen> Can anyone recommend a command-line mp3 player, with more features than mpg321?
[07:14] <trappist> GameCat: good.  now, what if you use <IP_ADDRESS> instead of localhost
[07:14] <GameCat> trappist: same error
[07:14] <trappist> fyrzen: there are dozens if not hundreds.  what features are you looking for?
[07:14] <trappist> GameCat: netstat -ntlp | grep 443
[07:15] <Stormx2> 8 bit color is pwetty
[07:15] <yuacht> seriously, i need help :( the install hangs at "Installing the grub package.."
[07:15] <pinkisntwell> if I install xubuntu-desktop what will happen to gnome?
[07:15] <fyrzen> trappist: support for mpc files, visualizations, playlist display
[07:15] <trappist> yuacht: shot in the dark... is your root (boot?) partition xfs?
[07:15] <GameCat> trappist: tcp6       0      0 :::443                  :::*                    LISTEN     13284/apache2
[07:16] <GameCat> trappist: does that mean it's not listening for ipv4?
[07:16] <joeljkp> cmatheson: well, you're exactly right
[07:16] <trappist> GameCat: that tcp6 looks very weird to me
[07:16] <gnomefreak> pinkisntwell,  nothing
[07:16] <joeljkp> cmatheson: just gotta figure out how to do that with udev
[07:16] <cmatheson> joeljkp: they are still device files... you'd just have to do it every time you rebooted (or change the order the modules are loaded somehow)
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> pinkisntwell,  you can select gnome or kde at the login screen.
[07:16] <pinkisntwell> gnome or kde or xfce or whatever?
[07:16] <gnomefreak> pinkisntwell, when you are at login you can choose what desktop you want
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> pinkisntwell,  you can select gnome or kde or whatever... :P
[07:16] <s1gnAl> how do I open a terminal window? I can not find it in the menus.....
[07:16] <_TomB> anyone here had experience remastering the livecd?
[07:17] <pinkisntwell> nice... but isn't the login screen part of gnome?
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> pinkisntwell,  kde has its own 'kdm' gnome uses 'gdm'
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> you can use either one.
[07:17] <cfa> has anyone have an Atheros internal mini wireless card to work
[07:17] <gnomefreak> pinkisntwell,  the sessions button lets you do that (button maybe wrong word)
[07:17] <GameCat> trappist: running that command on port 80 gets the same tcp6 thingy, and that works okay
[07:17] <pinkisntwell> so gdm will let me run kde or whatever?
[07:17] <cmatheson> pinkisntwell: yes, just choose the kde session from the menu
[07:17] <trappist> GameCat: see if you get a better error message with a different browser.  I don't know what that one is supposed to mean.
[07:17] <gnomefreak> s1gnAl, applications>accessories>terminal
[07:18] <s1gnAl> ahh dangit
[07:18] <existance_> i installed mysql onto my apache2 server, how do i change the user and password it takes?
[07:18] <s1gnAl> I see it now, thanks
[07:18] <Stormx2> Yhg. I need the "amp" package now
[07:18] <Stormx2> *searches*
[07:18] <gnomefreak> s1gnAl, they moved it in breezy :)
[07:18] <cmatheson> existance: check out the docs on mysql.com, they're pretty comprehensive
[07:18] <trappist> existance_: you should read the mysql docs, where all that and much more is very well documented.
[07:18] <drakenlol> wat can i use to explore a linux drive
[07:18] <drakenlol> from windows
[07:18] <existance_> cmatheson, thanks
[07:19] <GameCat> trappist: in firefox I get a popup dialog saying "The conection to localhost has been terminated unexpectedly. Some data may have been transferred."
[07:19] <pinkisntwell> I'm thinking of installing xfce because gnome is slooooooooow here. will my apps work with xfce?
[07:19] <trappist> drakenlol: explore2fs if your filesystem is ext2/3
[07:19] <gnomefreak> pinkisntwell,  yes
[07:19] <drakenlol> ta
[07:19] <drakenlol> since u guys dont want to help me find kernal
[07:19] <yuacht> In the ubuntu 5.10 install,is there anyway to choose to install LILO instead of Grub?
[07:19] <drakenlol> going to explore linux drive and get it from there
[07:19] <trappist> GameCat: oh, you probably want to check your apache logs then.  my guess is something's wrong with your ssl negotiation.
[07:19] <drakenlol> there is yuacht
[07:19] <drakenlol> and u should do it
[07:20] <drakenlol> grub is a piece of shit
[07:20] <gnomefreak> yuacht, i think you have to install lilo first
[07:20] <GameCat> trappist: right, I'll go look - they in /var/log?
[07:20] <cfa> has anyone have an Atheros internal mini wireless card to work
[07:20] <cmatheson> yuacht: no, there's no reason to install lilo instead... it's just personal preference
[07:20] <existance> tarball just means it is grouped in a .tar right?
[07:20] <trappist> GameCat: by default, /var/log/apache2/error.log
[07:20] <cmatheson> existance: right
[07:20] <gnomefreak> if i remember correctly lilo is a beast comapred to grub trying to configure
[07:21] <existance> cmatheson, bah, what doesn't anyone say that anywhere
[07:21] <trappist> gnomefreak: not at all
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> gnomefreak,  :P depends...
[07:21] <existance> cmatheson, err why
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> grub is more flexable , and thus more complex in ways
[07:21] <greg> sevean you still there?
[07:21] <oveh> is there a IM client for linux which you can change skins/themes on?
[07:21] <cmatheson> existance: i don't know... it's just one of those things everyone takes for granted
[07:22] <GameCat> trappist: I think I'm on to something here - "[Thu Dec 29 18:04:23 2005]  [warn]  RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `<IP_ADDRESS>' does NOT match server name!?"
[07:22] <greg> does firestarter change or mask your ip address?
[07:22] <trappist> GameCat: try running 'sudo apache2-ssl-certificate'
[07:23] <joeljkp> cmatheson: do you know how to set the proper sampling rate, etc. for oss?
[07:23] <cfa> anyone know wireless
[07:23] <yuacht> when i make a custom swap partition, do i make it primary or logical?
[07:23] <nalioth> yuacht: it matters not
[07:23] <jhenn> how do i burn a .bin file to a floppy?

[07:25] <ROBOd> places ... local folders
[07:25] <jhenn> greg i do
[07:25] <greg> cool, firestarter?
[07:25] <lesshaste> what do people use to rip film dvds?
[07:25] <bshumate> !tell greg about firestarter
[07:26] <jhenn> lesshaste: i heard of something called dvd::rip
[07:26] <ilba7r> !ndiswrapper
[07:26] <ubotu> from memory, ndiswrapper is a way to support Windows wireless drivers, but it is buggy compared to native support. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNdiswrapper
[07:26] <greg> here's my question, I had set up apache2 and it was working fine on 8080 and then
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> lesshaste,  'dvd:rip'
[07:26] <greg> I installed firestarter and no longer was able to see it,
[07:26] <jhenn> trappist: that command doesn't work
[07:26] <lesshaste> Dr_Willis: hmm.. I am using that... 32fps!
[07:26] <greg> then someone last night helped me figure it out.
[07:26] <lesshaste> is dvd::rip fast for some people??
[07:26] <trappist> jhenn: heard you the first time.  waiting for information I can work with.
[07:26] <ilba7r> !firmware
[07:26] <ubotu> ilba7r: NO SPEAKE ENLISH!
[07:26] <ilba7r> !ipv6
[07:26] <ubotu> ilba7r: Do they come in packets of five?
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> it can be a very cpu intensive task.
[07:27] <greg> and I can have public access my site, but the ip of my computer seems to be different
[07:27] <greg> is that possible?
[07:27] <lesshaste> Dr_Willis: cpu usage is near zero. I am just copying
[07:27] <greg> http://64-203-185-115.va.mvl.ntelos.net:8081/
[07:27] <greg> it used to be <IP_ADDRESS>:8080
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> lesshaste,  it is coppying 4+Gb of data
[07:28] <lesshaste> Dr_Willis: at 31fps :)
[07:28] <Stormx2> mp3player.cpp:134: int main(int, char**): Assertion `input != __null' failed.

[07:28] <uber_spaced> !samba
[07:28] <ubotu> it has been said that samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently

[07:47] <AMD_> when i open a terminal window, it always is too small.  How can i change the default window size when it opens ?
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> check the menus for all the settings you can twiddlw with :P
[07:48] <AMD_> Dr_Willis: i did ;)
[07:48] <gnomefreak> AMD_,  is it only the terminal?
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> AMD_,  mine fills up most of the screen...
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> :P
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> actually it fills up close to 3/4 of the screen
[07:48] <AMD_> gnomefreak: yep
[07:49] <gnomefreak> Dr_Willis,  man thats huge
[07:49] <gnomefreak> lol
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> gnomefreak,  :P i got a huge font set - lol..
[07:49] <AMD_> Dr_Willis: mine is fairly small.  I always have to make it bigger to fit the 80 col width
[07:49] <_TomB> Anyone got experience remastering the LiveCD?
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> ya coukld always  make a new launcher icon on the panel and edit the command it runs.
[07:50] <AMD_> Dr_Willis: yea, will probably try something like that.  Just thought there was an easier way.
[07:50] <gnomefreak> my screen res made mine bigger :)
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> AMD_,  that is an easy way :P
[07:50] <AMD_> Dr_Willis: :)
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> AMD_,  that way you could have different buttons for different ones.
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> pink and blue and green and on different desktops :P
[07:51] <AMD_> next thing...how do you change 'extension' associations?  right now .mp3 files are running with 'totem'.  I want them to open with xmms
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> or just go use 'xterm'  :P
[07:51] <nalioth> AMD_: right click in the file mangler and do the properties dance
[07:51] <Darthbudge> Hello I have some Questions I recently installed Ubuntu linux on my secondary hard drive and everything went fine until it asked me too reboot and when I did it told me "Error booting OS" could any one help?
[07:51] <gnomefreak> xterm is tiny
[07:51] <AMD_> nalioth: whatcha mean ?
[07:52] <gnomefreak> its half the size of gnome term
[07:52] <nalioth> AMD_: like in windows, you can right click on files and tell them what to open with
[07:52] <AMD_> nalioth: oh. ok.  there is no central location for file associations though ?
[07:52] <cmatheson> AMD_: so this may not interest you, but if you dig xmms i would also suggest you taking a look at beep-media-player (it's a little bit radder in that it's gtk2 and what not)
[07:52] <gnomefreak> Darthbudge, what error?
[07:53] <AMD_> cmatheson: thanks, will check it out
[07:53] <sureshot> does anyone know if there is a develoment channel and if there is how do i get to it
[07:53] <Badm4n> any2 can tellme how to set/configure my postfix ubuntu 5.10 ?
[07:53] <Darthbudge> it just said "Error booting OS"
[07:53] <N6pfk> I get a kernel panic when doing a halt but not a restart while stopping LVM?    Yet i can't play the files from this remote machine.  It acts like it loads, but never plays.  If i download the file locally it will then play.  Any ideas why this is ?
[07:55] <sureshot> only
[07:55] <Badm4n> ubotu no
[07:55] <ubotu> Ahh, too bad, I really thought so...
[07:55] <gnomefreak> oops
[07:55] <polpak> AMD_ how is it "shared" ?
[07:55] <Badm4n> ubotu help me install postfix
[07:55] <trappist> AMD_: shared via apache? samba? nfs?
[07:56] <gnomefreak> sorry ubuntu please ignore that
[07:56] <AMD_> sorry....it's shared using samba
[07:56] <sureshot> Darthbudge i have problems getting ubuntu to workk when i run ide0 as ata and a sata drive together when the sata drive is the boot device
[07:56] <Badm4n> !postfix
[07:56] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, Badm4n
[07:56] <polpak> AMD_ have you tried mounting the shared folder with smbfs ?
[07:56] <Darthbudge> I have 2 main hard drives in Raid 0 configuartion and one 80gb one that is by itself that is the one I am trying to install Linux on
[07:56] <Badm4n> !mail server
[07:56] <ubotu> Wish i knew, Badm4n
[07:57] <gnomefreak> Badm4n, the bot doesnt know those commands
[07:57] <Darthbudge> I think they are all ATA
[07:57] <AMD_> polpak: nope...just used the Places -> Connect to server way
[07:57] <Badm4n> :(
[07:57] <riffic> hello
[07:57] <riffic> I have a quick question about dual booting breezy and dapper
[07:57] <nalioth> Badm4n: why not ask your questions
[07:57] <riffic> is it possible to do it from the same /boot partition?
[07:57] <Darthbudge> or at least that is what it says when you are supposed to select the hard drive to install LInux on
[07:57] <riffic> if not, how should I set it up so they're on seperate partitions
[07:57] <polpak> AMD_, I've had problems with some software not recognizing the nautellus vfs.. I'd suggest using smbfs and mount
[07:58] <gnomefreak> nalioth, he did he wants to know how to set up postfix
[07:58] <sureshot> ok i wanted to clear that up it is not the drive config that is the problem... unless ubuntu is not load the raid driver it will lie soemwhare else. i am not good enough to help any further. just making sure it was not this probelm
[07:58] <Badm4n> any2 can tellme how to set/configure my postfix ubuntu 5.10 ? ( this is my 3rd question :D )
[07:58] <AMD_> polpak: ok, i'll give that a try.  thanks
[07:58] <Belboz99> Hey, anyone have any advice on how to mount a Linux network share?
[07:58] <sdschulze> Do you think I can install Debian's emacs-snapshot on Debian?
[07:58] <AMD_> yet another thing ;)  I'm trying to apt-get remove totem, and it wants to take ubuntu-desktop with it.  does ubuntu-desktop rely on totem or something ?
[07:58] <nalioth> Badm4n: if nobody knows, there will be no answer. try asking uncle google or come back here later (mayby try #postfix)
[07:58] <sdschulze> s/Debian/Ubuntu/2
[07:59] <N6pfk> How do I disble LVM?
[07:59] <lespinoz> I need a command to find a pakege
[07:59] <Linux_whore> Im about to partion for Ubuntu. Does it matter if I make the partitions primary or logical? Someone told me to make the partition mounted at / (root) primary. Is this correct?
[07:59] <riffic> lespinoz: apt-cache search
[07:59] <Darthbudge> hmm well can you give anything to try to fix this?
[07:59] <InverseCow> Anyone know how to fix the "No room on cache" error when you burn CD's in Ubuntu?
[07:59] <riffic> or check packages.ubuntu.com
[07:59] <sureshot> well all i am off to the inlaws :( wish me luck LOL
[07:59] <immothep> hi together
[08:00] <KenMasters> driver for webcam creative PC CAM 350 ... where download?
[08:00] <Belboz99> Hey, I'm trying to use the mount command to mount a Linux share using the syntax located here: http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Filesystems/Mounting_smbfs_Shares_Permanently.html    but it doesn't work
[08:00] <polpak> AMD_, why remove totem?
[08:00] <psusi> N6pfk: just don't use it to format the drive when you install... don't choose that option
[08:00] <immothep> i whould like to install turbo gear
[08:00] <Vander> question: what file system should I use for a new partition of ubuntu?
[08:00] <Belboz99>  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //debian/windowsshare
[08:01] <nalioth> Vander: ext3
[08:01] <AMD_> polpak: doesn't work.  keeps giving me anerror about a decoder not being there
[08:01] <Vander> thanks
[08:01] <immothep> but there is always a message "unable to execute gcc: No such file or directory"
[08:01] <psusi> Linux_whore: just let the ununtu installer make the partitions... by default it makes one extended partition to contain / and swap
[08:01] <polpak> AMD_, what are you trying to play with totem?
[08:01] <crimsun> immothep: have you installed build-essential?
[08:01] <immothep> is there a possibility to reinstall the gcc?
[08:01] <nalioth> immothep: install "build-essential
[08:01] <cvt|ubuntu> should i be concerned with spyware or trojans on ubuntu?
[08:01] <AMD_> polpak: was just trying to open an mp3, and totem pops up and gives me the error.
[08:01] <immothep> nalioth i take short a look
[08:01] <psusi> cvt|ubuntu: no
[08:01] <nalioth> cvt|ubuntu: not really, no.
[08:01] <Razor-X> has anyone encountered this error when using mpd (I just compiled mine for shoutcast support) cat: /etc/mpd.conf: No such file or directory
[08:01] <cvt|ubuntu> kthx.
[08:02] <N6pfk> I just want to stop LVM from starting not reinstall the system
[08:02] <polpak> ubotu tell AMD_ restricted
[08:02] <Belboz99> anyone?  I'm feeling invisible here
[08:02] <psusi> N6pfk: why?  it doesn't hurt anything
[08:02] <lespinoz> i need to find amsn 0.95
[08:02] <polpak> !restricted
[08:02] <ubotu> I heard restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed here have been replaced by !FreeFormats
[08:02] <poningru> polpak: you have to add an about in the middle
[08:02] <Belboz99> thanks Dr_Willis
[08:02] <immothep> nalioth - not until now - i try to install it - thanks
[08:02] <poningru> '!tell AMD_ about restricted
[08:02] <polpak> AMD_, if you follow the restricted format wiki you can play MP3 files with totem
[08:02] <trappist> how can I tell from the command line that I'm on breezy vs. dapper vs. hoary, say, for a script
[08:03] <AMD_> polpak: thanks :)
[08:03] <Linux_whore> psusi: you can read this if you want: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=611633&posted=1#post611633 I had problems dual booting xp when I used the guided partition tool to use "largest amount of continuous free space"
[08:03] <crimsun> trappist: lsb_release -r
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> Belboz99,  you are trying to mount a Samba share on a linux box?
[08:03] <N6pfk> It is annoying to have to power off manually when halting.
[08:03] <Belboz99> yeah, that's right Dr_Willis
[08:03] <lespinoz> ergrwg
[08:03] <trappist> crimsun: hrm... so how can I tell I'm on ubuntu?
[08:03] <trappist> crimsun: nm, -a :)
[08:03] <puff> Hm
[08:04] <Anth0ny_> Should I install SMP-kernel in order to utilize Hyper-threading?
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> Belboz99,  the file system is 'smbfs' i Think... the online book 'using samba' (free)  has details.
[08:04] <polpak> Belboz99, you've installed smbfs (sudo apt-get install smbfs) ?
[08:04] <Stormx2> hey again
[08:04] <crimsun> Anth0ny_: yes
[08:04] <nalioth> Anth0ny_: yes
[08:04] <Belboz99> hmm, I'll try that polak
[08:04] <psusi> Anth0ny_: if you want to use HT, yes, you need the smp kernel...
[08:04] <N6pfk> OK forget the LVM problem.  My computer freezes when ever I do anything involving vidoe 4 linux?
[08:04] <Anth0ny_> thanks
[08:05] <Belboz99> polak, LOL, thanks!  I never had that problem on Debian Sarge or Itch :P
[08:05] <Linfan> i customized my ubuntu i changed the splash screen how can i get rid of the brown at startup not the login screen i changed that already but when the splash screen comes on the ubuntu brown background is displayed when the new splash comes up how can i get rid of it?
[08:05] <gnomefreak> Etch maybe?
[08:05] <polpak> Belboz99, must have had it installed by default then =p
[08:06] <fat32> but intel chips are crap anyway
[08:06] <psusi> Linux_whore: I have installed breezy on computers that already have windows using the whole hard drive with no problems
[08:06] <N6pfk> I am trying to get a webcam working and video 4 linux hang my system
[08:06] <psusi> Linux_whore: the installer prompts to shrink the windows partition and use the rest for ubuntu and it dual boots fine
[08:06] <Belboz99> polak, yeah.  It seems there's a lot of things Ubuntu doesn't do by default, but anyway SUCESS! I got it to mount in the fstab, so no more worries :)
[08:07] <polpak> Belboz99, congratz =p
[08:07] <Linux_whore> psusi: i never had to resize windows because i left space for linux. what do you think could be causing the problem? after installing linux, xp comes up with the messages that hal.dll is corrupted.
[08:07] <Belboz99> polak, btw the problem was that the AmaroK player wouldn't recognize the "link" that I made, nor would it explore the network ;)
[08:08] <cvt|ubuntu> what does it mean to "uncomment?"
[08:08] <psusi> Linux_whore: try NOT leaving free space... let windows use the whole drive, then let ubuntu shrink it
[08:08] <danny> hey im new to linux and just wondered if anyone can give me advise on changing the theme, i downloaded one but it says wrong format wen i try and install it (also any good sites for themes would be help ful)
[08:08] <Belboz99> cvt|ubuntu take out the #'s

[08:09] <InverseCow> afief, Have you had a look at NVU?
[08:09] <polpak> danny,  try sudo apt-get install gnome-art
[08:09] <nalioth> afief: there are not many to compare to dreamweaver
[08:09] <Belboz99> cvt|ubuntu, btw there should only be a few lines that need to be uncommented, if you uncomment lines that are supposed to be commented youl
[08:10] <Belboz99> 'll get errrors
[08:10] <afief> nalioth: dont need anything to compare to the big ones, all i want is not having to write HTML
[08:10] <Belboz99> I hate the way the ' is right next to enter :(
[08:10] <afief> i will try nvu:)
[08:10] <nalioth> afief: then nvu or quanta should do just fine
[08:10] <nalioth> afief: also screem
[08:10] <crimsun> Belboz99: it's on the opposite side of the keyboard if you use, say, dvorak
[08:11] <Belboz99> cool crimsum :)
[08:11] <AMD_> Does ubuntu detect a windows installation on another drive during install?  Or do i just need to modify grub manually?
[08:11] <N6pfk> Does anyone have problems with video 4 linux hanging their computer?
[08:12] <polpak> AMD_, I believe it will configure grub correctly
[08:12] <polpak> AMD_, so you can dual boot
[08:12] <AMD_> polpak: ok.  no biggie if it doesn't.  Just wanted to prepare :)
[08:13] <Darthbudge> ohh one other thing when it shows me all the other OSes I have on the computer it has Windows Xp twice is that normal?
[08:13] <cvt|ubuntu> when i try to install java it says "couldn't find sun-j2re1.5" but i have it on my desktop. ideas?
[08:13] <Linux_whore> psusi: is your windows install fat32 or ntfs?
[08:13] <AMD_> hmmmm....evolution won't start :(
[08:13] <psusi> Linux_whore: ntfs
[08:14] <polpak> cvt|ubuntu, did you cd to ~/Desktop before running dpkg -i sun-jre*
[08:14] <Darthbudge> and should I install Grub bootloader on my main Hard drive with windows or on the hard drive with Linux?
[08:14] <polpak> AMD_, really?? that's odd.
[08:14] <cvt|ubuntu> polpak, no. how do i do that?
[08:14] <ian_> hi, do i need to install the ati drivers for my card? im new to linux and chose ubuntu as my distro
[08:14] <polpak> cvt|ubuntu, open a terminal and type cd ~/Desktop
[08:15] <AMD_> polpak: yea.  seems there were a couple process already running.  killed em off and then it started.
[08:15] <cvt|ubuntu> k
[08:15] <AMD_> polpak: must not of shut off correctly that last time i exited
[08:15] <polpak> ian_, you don't need to, but it's recommended if you want to get the full 3d hardware accelleration
[08:15] <cvt|ubuntu> polpak, it said the same.
[08:15] <polpak> ian_, read the getting started guide for instructions on installing the ATI drivers
[08:16] <Darthbudge> Please help?
[08:16] <polpak> ian_, you don't have to get it from the ATI website (and I'd recommend that you don't)
[08:16] <oly_> eeep, help having probs with wireless there is no intrface to configure
[08:16] <oxez> is it a good idea to build my entire gentoo system in chroot (in ubuntu)?
[08:16] <polpak> Darthbudge, it doesn't really matter much so long as grub is going to get loaded before the windows boot loader in order of operation
[08:16] <oly_> i have installed the drivers i used using ndiswrapper and modprobed the driver but no wlan0 shows up
[08:16] <crimsun> oxez: it's your system, do whatever you want.
[08:17] <oxez> crimsun: I posted in thr wrong channel, damn sorry
[08:17] <ian_> is there a ready driver from ubuntus site?
[08:17] <oly_> the only ifference is i ws using the 32 bit version before and now i am using 64 bit version of ubuntu
[08:17] <Darthbudge> how do I get it to go before Windows bootloader
[08:17] <oly_> anyone give me some ideas that i can try ??
[08:17] <gnomefreak> what command is it that tells me version of a program that wont open?
[08:17] <polpak> !ati
[08:17] <ubotu> I heard ati is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10
[08:17] <cvt|ubuntu> i'm having some trouble installing java. can someone help me get?
[08:18] <polpak> ubotu tell ian_ about ati
[08:18] <N6pfk> oly--32bit drivers don't work with a 64 bit kernel
[08:18] <polpak> cvt|ubuntu, what's the trouble?
[08:18] <oly_> oh do i need to get 64 bit version of the windows drivers then ?
[08:18] <nalioth> ubotu: tell cvt|ubuntu about javadebs
[08:18] <jhenn> is cairo in dapper?
[08:18] <trappist> crimsun: do you happen to know if the lsb-release package is part of the standard install?
[08:18] <oly_> or does ndis  not work with 64 bit ??
[08:18] <crimsun> trappist: it's a core package
[08:18] <QMario> How do I fax in Ubuntu?
[08:18] <trappist> cool
[08:18] <crimsun> jhenn: yes
[08:18] <N6pfk> oly--if you can find one, LOL
[08:19] <QMario> !Fax

[08:19] <crimsun> jhenn: it's in Breezy as well
[08:19] <Darthbudge> how do I get Grub bootloader to go before Windows bootloader?
[08:19] <nalioth> cvt|ubuntu: read the info from ubotu. problem solved

[08:20] <danny> E: Couldn't find package gnome-art
[08:20] <Darthbudge> What is MBR?
[08:20] <polpak> ian_, it will give a boost for those programs which need 3d accelleration
[08:20] <nalioth> danny: please read the /topic (and dont paste in here)
[08:21] <gnomefreak> danny,  use synaptic
[08:21] <Darthbudge> If that is master boot record  it did ir at least it said it did
[08:21] <fat32> master boot record
[08:21] <polpak> danny, you need to enable the universe repo
[08:21] <ian_> i see....and by the way how do i know which ubuntu i have....because instrrucxtions are different for each

[08:23] <ian_> thnx.
[08:23] <gnomefreak> eddye, help you what?
[08:23] <gnomefreak> yw iam
[08:23] <gnomefreak> ian_,
[08:23] <eddye> see up
[08:24] <hd420> I fixed my apache2 problem from yesterday
[08:24] <eddye> my first message
[08:24] <ian_> yes?
[08:24] <gnomefreak> all i saw was intionlizing random number
[08:24] <eddye> yes
[08:24] <eddye> how do i fix that
[08:24] <gnomefreak> no ian_  i was fixing my typo sorry
[08:24] <polpak> ian_,  here's a brief overview http://linux.org.mt/article/terminal
[08:24] <Linfan> ubuntu only supports 16 and 24 bit colors? what happened to 32
[08:24] <eddye> i cant get into gnome
[08:24] <eddye> ?
[08:25] <polpak> ian_, and you can use 'man' to get the manual for pretty much any command
[08:25] <Linfan> is there a keyboard shortcut by default to brung up terminal?
[08:25] <ian_> will installing the ati driver enahnce my scrolling....i eman will it be smoother... its kinda not good when i dragwindows
[08:25] <gnomefreak> eddye, ummmmm ok you cant get into gnome? doesnt really say much can you give more details?
[08:25] <eddye> i tryed to normalize xorg.conf but it isnt working
[08:25] <AMD_> are there any disadvantages to enabling the root account?  Other than the obvious security implications.  Do certain features of ubuntu not work, or not work right with the root account enabled?
[08:26] <eddye> it doestn say anything
[08:26] <nalioth> AMD_: you'll break your functionality
[08:26] <nalioth> ubotu: tell AMD_ about root
[08:26] <eddye> thats the problem
[08:26] <nalioth> AMD_: read that page
[08:26] <gnomefreak> eddye, what are you using right now?
[08:26] <AMD_> nalioth: ok, thanks
[08:26] <Darthbudge> It said that I installed the Grub bootloader in the MBR but I still can't boot in too linux
[08:26] <cmatheson> hey does anyone know if there's a clearlooks variant that is less.. um... brown?
[08:26] <eddye> Ubuntu breezy 5.10
[08:26] <polpak> cmatheson, yes. plenty
[08:26] <cvt|ubuntu> polpak, i got the package from ubotu and followed the instructions but it still says "couldn't find package sun-j2re1.5" and i cd to desktop. ideas?
[08:26] <Darthbudge> It doesn't even give me the choice it just goes in too windows
[08:26] <gnomefreak> no eddye  i mean are you at command line, a differetn desktop ?
[08:26] <ian_> jsut wondering does anyone here fold?
[08:27] <nalioth> cvt|ubuntu: you need to cd whereve your downloads go
[08:27] <cmatheson> polpak: in the repos or are you going to art.gnome.org?
[08:27] <Printer> Good Day all.
[08:27] <polpak> cmatheson, if you want all the themes you can handle you can install the gnome-art package
[08:27] <nalioth> ubotu: tell cvt|ubuntu about cli
[08:27] <cvt|ubuntu> nalioth, it goes to desktop
[08:27] <eddye> command line i thing (Crtl+Alt+F1)
[08:27] <cmatheson> polpak: yeah, and i'm not really interested in lots of themes, just a clearlooks theme that is whitish instead of tannish
[08:27] <nalioth> cvt|ubuntu: is it fully downloaded?
[08:27] <cvt|ubuntu> yes
[08:27] <cmatheson> polpak: i'll check that package out though, thanks
[08:27] <AMD_> nalioth: i guess I'm used to a 'root' account on linux/bsd boxen.  I would imagine if i created another account and gave it root access that would not break ubuntu.
[08:27] <gnomefreak> eddye, ctrl+alt+F7 doesnt bring you back to gnome?
[08:27] <cvt|ubuntu> i cd to desktop and type: sudo apt-get install sun-j2re1.5
[08:27] <eddye> gnomefreak: no :(
[08:28] <Kyral> Any Networking Gods here?
[08:28] <gnomefreak> eddye,  try startx
[08:28] <Printer> In Dapper/Firefox 1.5 I have no text in the "Downloads" window for the files I am downloading.  Any fix for this?
[08:28] <eddye> wait
[08:28] <polpak> cvt|ubuntu, I think you need dpkg -i
[08:28] <nalioth> AMD_: there is no need for a root account here, sudo (and it's graphical cousins gksudo and kdesu) will do anything you need to do
[08:28] <polpak> cvt|ubuntu, but you may be doing something other than what I'm thinking of
[08:28] <cmatheson> AMD_: not sure what you mean... if you want another user w/ ultimate sudo power just add him to the 'admin' group... otherwise you can create a root account, but don't use the 'adduser' command, just do 'sudo passwd'
[08:28] <Kyral> I have a ...unique... problem
[08:28] <puff> Hm, cat proc/acpi/thermalzone/THM0/pollingfrequency --> <polling disableD>
[08:29] <eddye> it says something about x11-unix has suspecious mode
[08:29] <Kyral> Anyone know how to route an internet connection through an SSH tunnel
[08:29] <AMD_> nalioth: i know sudo will work.  But if i need root access for multiple commands i don't want to have to type sudo each time ;)
[08:29] <puff> does this mean that /proc/acpi/thermalzone/THM0/temperature is out of date?
[08:29] <AMD_> cmatheson: thanks for the info
[08:29] <puff> Kyral: Sure.
[08:29] <polpak> AMD_, sudo -s
[08:29] <eddye> xinit: giving up
[08:29] <nalioth> AMD_: use sudo -i
[08:29] <puff> Kyral: What are you trying to do?
[08:29] <Kyral> puff: PM?
[08:29] <AMD_> -i, or -s  ? ;)
[08:29] <gnomefreak> eddye, have you tried rebooting yet?
[08:29] <puff> kyncani: I guess.
[08:29] <eddye> yes
[08:29] <polpak> AMD_, probably either ;p
[08:29] <puff> Kyral: I guss.
[08:29] <eddye> 4 times i gues
[08:29] <AMD_> polpak: ;)
[08:29] <puff> guess, dammit :-).
[08:29] <Kyral> I'd rather not clutter the channel with this one
[08:29] <QMario> So, how do I use eFax-gtk?
[08:30] <Linfan> IM doing a terminal command to fix my resolution rate-i type in the commandbut when it promps me for the password it wont let me type how can i fix this or what i am doing wrong
[08:30] <Linuturk> well, I just got a new puter
[08:30] <psusi> sudo -s gives you a root shell with your environment... -i uses root's environment
[08:30] <QMario> For some reason, Linux can't even detect my modem.
[08:30] <AMD_> polpak: oh, cool.  Didn't know that would throw me into a root shell environment :))
[08:30] <gnomefreak> eddye,  what did you do meaning what was the original plan?
[08:30] <Linuturk> guess what? this wireless card isn't supported out of the box either. It's a Broadcom
[08:30] <polpak> AMD_, yeah. I guess -i would be a better option
[08:30] <gnomefreak> isnt sudo -i perfered?
[08:30] <Linuturk> (Ethernet) #1 (Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN - Packet Scheduler Miniport (36Mb/s) 0.86MB In, 0.18MB Out) #2(Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC - Packet Scheduler Miniport (10Mb/s) 0.00MB In, 0.00MB Out)
[08:31] <noirequus> gnomefreak: yes, sudo -i is preferred
[08:31] <psusi> I allways use -s... that way ~ is YOUR home not root's ;)
[08:31] <eddye> gnomefreak: i installed cedega 5.0 then i reboted because it freezed my cpu and when i tryed to go on it didnt go on
[08:31] <Printer> Hmmm.  If I select "Ask me where to save" in the preferences I do get text.  If I leave it at "Save to Desktop" I don't get text.
[08:31] <eddye> then i used to rename the xorg.conf and it didnt work either
[08:32] <Kindred> um.
[08:32] <gnomefreak> eddye,  im sorry i dont know anything about that program but sounds like something happened whyn you tried to rename it :(
[08:32] <kalin> hi
[08:32] <eddye> gnomefreak: the problem is in the xorg.conf i think
[08:33] <eddye> but i cant repair it
[08:33] <kalin> i need a control ACTIVE X to mozilla
[08:33] <eddye> :(
[08:33] <kalin> could anybody tell me how to install it?
[08:33] <cmatheson> kalin: you're only option for activex is wine or something like that
[08:33] <AMD_> hmmm....ubuntu doesn't like my arrow keys ;(  Keeps logging this in syslog: Dec 29 14:33:17 localhost kernel: [4355186.365000]  atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e02a <keycode>' to make it known.
[08:33] <tonyyarusso> kalin: Why do you need it anyway?

[08:36] <eddye> gnomefreak: it isnt going on... like it freezed :)
[08:36] <noirequus> cvt|ubuntu: in a console, type 'cat /etc/issue'
[08:37] <tonyyarusso> noirequus, What do the /n /l in that mean?
[08:37] <cvt|ubuntu> it says hoary hedgehog.  so does that mean the instructions don't apply, noirequus?
[08:37] <noirequus> tonyyarusso: the n and l in what?
[08:37] <noirequus> cvt|ubuntu: i dont know what you want to do
[08:37] <polpak> cvt|ubuntu, it means you probably need different instructions
[08:38] <cvt|ubuntu> noirequus, install java
[08:38] <polpak> noirequus, he's trying to install java
[08:38] <tonyyarusso> noirequus, The output from cat /etc/issue.

[08:44] <kalin> plopak i think wiki.ubuntu is not a secure page
[08:44] <noirequus> david1: edit your cdrom line in your sources.list

[08:45] <david1> i just tried to install using synaptec, which also needs the cd
[08:45] <polpak> david1, you need to edit your sources.list
[08:45] <david1> noirequus, polpak , how do i do that?
[08:46] <polpak> david1, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:46] <ucornel> ba alex esti roman
[08:46] <Linfan> ok i did what you guys told me
[08:46] <Linfan> it ask for a password
[08:46] <pinkisntwell> to use xfce should I install xfce4 or xubuntu-desktop?
[08:46] <Linfan> but when u try to type it in
[08:46] <ucornel> sa va rfut in gura pe toti
[08:46] <david1> polpak, what do i modify in sources.list
[08:46] <Linfan> nothing is happening it wont let me type in the password
[08:47] <gnomefreak> xubuntu-desktop
[08:47] <ucornel> fack you
[08:47] <pinkisntwell> why?
[08:47] <polpak> Linfan, the password is hidden so it cannot be read over your shoulder. Just type it in and hit enter
[08:47] <gnomefreak> its a meta-package
[08:47] <gnomefreak> it comes with apps you might want/need instead of installing them seprately
[08:47] <polpak> david1, you need to comment out the line for the CD repository and uncomment the lines for the us.archive.ubuntu.com repos
[08:48] <david1> polpak, k
[08:48] <AMD_> where does the 'configuration editor' store it's data?  Is it in text files, or is it in a db of some type ?
[08:48] <polpak> AMD_, which configuration editor?
[08:48] <AMD_> polpak: the one in Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor
[08:48] <gnomefreak> why cant they have anjuta.deb on thier site :(

[08:49] <Linfan> im installing alltray and i downloaded to my desktop it says cannot access archive:no such file or directory but isee it on my desktop
[08:49] <polpak> david1, np =)
[08:49] <polpak> Linfan, you'll need to cd to your Desktop
[08:49] <AMD_> polpak: or is it just parsing the configuration files in /etc and my home direc ?
[08:49] <Linfan> sudo apt-get install alltray can i just do that to get it?
[08:50] <polpak> AMD_, it uses configuration files from your home directory
[08:50] <polpak> AMD_, I cannot recall which ones though
[08:50] <cvt|ubuntu> polpak, i followed those instructions but it didn't work yet. should i get breezy?
[08:50] <AMD_> polpak: ok, thanks :)
[08:50] <Linfan> ok how do i do that?
[08:50] <polpak> cvt|ubuntu, I'd suggest doing that. It'll probably be easier in the long run
