[08:50] <tom_reinke> No one has been able to help me.
[08:50] <OofCZer0> billybennett u still there??
[08:50] <red> ok,
[08:51] <tom_reinke> red, I know xubuntu sees the card: it tells me so: Card: ESS Maestro3 PCI.. Its just that I get no output.
[08:51] <red> Thru the Alsa Mixer
[08:51] <red> The sound mixer.
[08:51] <JoseStefan> billybennett == william__
[08:51] <cdubya> Madpilot, don't suspect the users want me to share it, or I would gladly
[08:51] <red> I had thre same problem.
[08:51] <JoseStefan> OofCZer0 ^^^
[08:51] <red> add track "front"
[08:51] <OofCZer0> JoseStefan yes
[08:52] <Madpilot> cdubya, fair enough - see if you can yank the private info in it and keep the 'it breaks in OOo' "feature" - construct a test case file, in other words
[08:52] <red> and "center"
[08:52] <red> Where are your speakers?
[08:52] <cdubya> Madpilot, weird how it happened though....was at work earlier today, did a table dump in phpMyAdmin like I always do.....and like I said, I've never had ANY issue with files that phpMyAdmin has handed me.....
[08:52] <red> Because it has nothing to do with the card.
[08:52] <tom_reinke> red, I.. am.. on a laptop
[08:52] <tom_reinke> red, the speakers are on the left and right
[08:52] <red> ...:P i forgot.
[08:52] <red> So yeah.
[08:52] <cdubya> Madpilot, will do.....as soon as I finish my week of school tomorrow perhaps.....been a long week on studies and work......
[08:52] <cdubya> :)
[08:53] <red> Do you know how to configure Tracks?
[08:53] <tom_reinke> red, I could take them out if you'd like *Gets screwdriver*
[08:53] <red> You would need to add "front"
[08:53] <OofCZer0> JoseStefan!!!
[08:53] <Madpilot> cdubya, been there, done that ;)
[08:53] <cdubya> Madpilot, yep
[08:53] <tom_reinke> red, I don't know how to add tracks, please explain?
[08:53] <cdubya> Madpilot, kinda stinks at the time, but it's worth it
[08:53] <red> ...
[08:53] <JoseStefan> OofCZer0: billybennett == william__
[08:53] <red> i may have to get back to you, wife wants to go to bed.
[08:53] <OofCZer0> billybennett where r u?
[08:53] <JoseStefan> OofCZer0: i pointed up :/
[08:53] <red> Tell ya what, my MSN is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:54] <cdubya> Madpilot, it's weird though....I dumped a table on this machine, but did it as a csv and oo.org handled it perfectly.
[08:54] <cdubya> heh
[08:54] <tom_reinke> red, thanks.. but I don't have MSN, I'll email you?
[08:54] <cdubya> heh
[08:54] <red> I had the same problem and all you have to do is get the Linux to point to the right incoming "Track"
[08:54] <red> Email me there, that'd be fine.
[08:54] <red> I'll do some researh for you.
[08:54] <tom_reinke> red, thanks a lot. I look forward to hearing music
[08:54] <OofCZer0> ok i have a problem that is starting to agitate me alot and i need someone who knows everything about this to help me plzzzz
[08:54] <red> What laptop?
[08:54] <OofCZer0> ok i have a problem that is starting to agitate me alot and i need someone who knows everything about this to help me plzzzz
[08:54] <NeoChaosX> Hm
[08:54] <tom_reinke> red, its a Dell Latitude...
[08:54] <red> alienware Area 51m
[08:54] <red> :P
[08:54] <red> Oh ok.
[08:55] <red> I'm running on a vaio.
[08:55] <tom_reinke> red, hold on, lemme find the model
[08:55] <cdubya> OofCZero, did you ask anyone about your problem yet?
[08:55] <OofCZer0> cdubya no
[08:55] <tom_reinke> red, I just got this laptop today, I was struggling with sound on my 1997 IBM until the HD finally died yesterday
[08:55] <red> Damn, Sorry
[08:56] <red> Gotta go to bed
[08:56] <tom_reinke> red, its a Latitude C810
[08:56] <red> C810.
[08:56] <red> gotacha
[08:56] <cdubya> OofCZero, formulate your question, stating as clearly as you can the issue, related apps, etc.....then wait and see who responds.....
[08:56] <tom_reinke> thanks a lot red
[08:56] <red> no prob.
[08:56] <red> try and get help from...
[08:56] <red> oh yeah.
[08:56] <red> Well kjeep asking, and maybe someone will know.
[08:56] <red> until tommorow.
[08:56] <red> Bye.
[08:56] <tom_reinke> red, lol.. I've been asking for 2 weeks
[08:56] <tom_reinke> XD
[08:57] <OofCZer0> cdubya i have been trying to install ubuntu all nite, and for some reason its not working. ive been on here all day asking questions as to why its not installing correctly, and ive been directed to a bunch of "how to" site, ive even printed them and followed them verbatim, step by step, and after the installation, i reboot and it just boots into windows, it doesnt give me the dual boot option to choose which one i want it just chooses
[08:58] <OofCZer0> ive tried pressing esc numerous times that doesnt work
[08:58] <mythril> anyone here run freenx?
[08:58] <mythril> nm, bad question :)
[08:58] <cdubya> OofCZero, so you ran the install.....did it finish completely?
[08:58] <wastrel> what's freenx?
[08:58] <OofCZer0> ive done some grub things and the file directorys arent even there to go to
[08:58] <OofCZer0> cdubya yes it did
[08:58] <mythril> anyone here run freenx with the intention of using it as a vpn of sorts?
[08:58] <mythril> wastrel: freenx is like terminal services for linux
[08:59] <cdubya> OofCZero, "some grub things" isn't really descriptive.....can you tell me exactly what you've tried
[08:59] <gentix> how do i manually specify a resolution? the computer can't seem to realize i have a widescreen monitor
[08:59] <cdubya> OofCZero, by the way, did you have windows on the box before you installed ubuntu?
[09:00] <E_r_i_K> gentix: manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf with your favorite text editor as root for starters
[09:00] <wastrel> backup a working copy first
[09:00] <mythril> I am having troubles using freenx, when I connect the connection always times out after authentication
[09:00] <mythril> any ideas?
[09:00] <E_r_i_K> yes, wastrel is correct
[09:00] <OofCZer0> cdubya, i was directed to a site on how to fix some boot problems, and it gave some commands to change some things, but when i typed the commands it was like file system type not correct
[09:00] <gentix> E_r_i_K, okay, and now?
[09:01] <OofCZer0> cdubya, yes windows was on here before i put ubuntu
[09:01] <cdubya> OofCZero, I can't really even try to help if you don't let me know what exactly you did......the best thing I can do at that point is guess......
[09:01] <E_r_i_K>  gentix, in my xorg.conf it is like     DefaultDepth    24
[09:01] <E_r_i_K>     SubSection     "Display"
[09:01] <E_r_i_K>         Depth       24
[09:01] <E_r_i_K>         Modes      "1280x1024"
[09:01] <E_r_i_K>     EndSubSection
[09:02] <E_r_i_K> add additional resolutions seperated by commas to the Modes section
[09:02] <xanda> why doesn't ubuntu need anti-virus?
[09:02] <Madpilot> E_r_i_K, next time, use a pastebin, please
[09:02] <E_r_i_K> in my case, both of my displays are fixed-resolution panels
[09:02] <gentix> alright
[09:02] <Madpilot> xanda, because there really aren't any Linux viruses
[09:02] <xanda> why
[09:02] <xanda> don't they make them
[09:03] <marshall> whats teh command for when you want to switch from sun java to blackdown again?
[09:03] <OofCZer0> cdubya, ok i go into terminal and type, "sudo grub", then type "root (hd1,2)" and im supposed to type setup hd(1) afterthat, but i cant get past the root step, it tells me that my filesystem is not correct
[09:03] <JoseStefan> E_r_i_K, gentix: syntax for modes is space separated, not commas
[09:03] <cdubya> marshall, sudo update-alternatives --java ?
[09:03] <Madpilot> xanda, because the way Linux is laid out, viruses would have a much harder time than they do in Windows
[09:03] <Madpilot> xanda, and because Windows is a bigger target
[09:03] <E_r_i_K> ty, jose
[09:03] <xanda> kool
[09:03] <Morgan> I need someone to guide me through Ati drivers 8.28.8 install for Ubuntu 6.06 64-bit ! Anyone ?
[09:03] <xanda> what about spyware
[09:04] <Healot> !ati
[09:04] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:04] <JoseStefan> E_r_i_K, gentix: eg    Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[09:04] <Madpilot> xanda, same deal - Linux isn't a target (yet)
[09:04] <cdubya> OofCZero, can you boot the CD and get to a Terminal and try to run grub-install --recheck ?
[09:04] <xanda> ok
[09:04] <xanda> ty
[09:04] <JoseStefan> E_r_i_K, gentix: alternativly use !xconfig
[09:04] <JoseStefan> !xconfig
[09:04] <ubotu> xconfig is To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:04] <Flannel> xanda: and again, the way the users are separated, its a bit more difficult
[09:04] <Madpilot> xanda, plus, you can't hide spyware inside open-source apps the way they're hidden in closed-source Windows stuff
[09:04] <gentix> how can i force a resolution change without editing configs, just, "use this resolution now"
[09:04] <gentix> or is that not possible?
[09:04] <xanda> but what if someone made one?
[09:05] <xanda> that could do it?
[09:05] <Flannel> xanda: do what?
[09:05] <xanda> what viruss do
[09:05] <Healot> Madpilot: technically you can; but somebody can read your code though :)
[09:05] <Shadowpillar> xanda: 1) most virii need root access to do any worthwhile damage, 2) there are rootkits, but again, you have to be running tons of server stuff off your desktop that have vulnerabilities
[09:05] <Madpilot> Healot, I said you can't *hide* spyware, didn't say it couldn't be coded ;)
[09:05] <JoseStefan> !virus > xanda
[09:06] <OofCZer0> cdubya, explain what your asking me to do, this is my first day with all this
[09:06] <ootput> gentix: if you didn't make provisions for it (different resolutions, modelines) in your xorg.conf, you won't be able to adjust it
[09:06] <gentix> brb
[09:06] <cdubya> OofCZero, boot the install CD.....open a Terminal window.....type sudo grub-install --recheck
[09:06] <OofCZer0> just like that "suso grub-install --recheck"??
[09:06] <cdubya> at least I think that's it.....if my memory hasn't run down the street again
[09:06] <Losty81> !edgy
[09:06] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[09:06] <Shadowpillar> xanda: it's possible, but actually getting a linux virus would be very hard to do, the most that could happen is it would fuck up your home directory, unless you gave it root priveledges, which would require user intervention
[09:06] <OofCZer0> sudo*

[09:07] <cdubya> OofCZero, yes
[09:07] <Morgan> Installed driver ..at fglrx i got this: X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)

[09:07] <OofCZer0> cdubya, ok i will try, if it does not work i will be back momentarily
[09:07] <Madpilot> xanda, ubotu is a bot, not a person
[09:07] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell xanda about yourself
[09:07] <Losty81> lol
[09:08] <cdubya> heh
[09:08] <Losty81> mes a zinks
[09:08] <Losty81> any one know whether edgy cd 3 has been released?
[09:08] <gentix> thanks for the help, i got it working
[09:09] <Flannel> Losty81: not yet, soon though

[09:13] <BHSPitLappy> how can I launch an X program, from one of the VT's

[09:18] <Spudz0r> hey folks, i'm trying to get X11 forwarding working from my laptop (ubuntu 6.06) to my server (ubuntu 6.06) working, i've followed the instructions i've found, however it still cant do it. can anyone help?
[09:19] <JoseStefan> How can I set default ports for gnome-btdownload? Is there a config file?
[09:20] <davalex> What are the biggest changes between 6.06 and 6.10?
[09:20] <printk> actually several key points, check out the wiki on #ubuntu+1 topic
[09:20] <drbashir> hmm, a new kernel...
[09:21] <davalex> printk: do you have a url for me?
[09:23] <cdubya> davalex, /join #ubuntu+1
[09:23] <cdubya> then look at the topic

[09:24] <Morgan> How do I reinstall the Ubuntu Ati driver ?
[09:24] <cdubya> g'night all
[09:26] <medic30420> Hi agian, can anyone provide help with ssh keys, my remote machine won't recognize the key, i am trying to set this up for the first time
[09:27] <OofCZer0> ok i need help i was just getting help from cdubya and now hes gone, can anyone else help me
[09:27] <Morgan> I need someone to help me with Ati driver install for Ubuntu 64-bit ! The turorial dodn`'t help
[09:28] <medic30420> i have followed several tutorials and have created a set of public/private keys for openssh, chmod'd the files and directories, but the remote machine just keeps asking me for my password instead of passphrase
[09:29] <OofCZer0> i have installed ubuntu several times today and the installation goes fine and says it competed succesfully everytime, and when i restart it just boots windows and does not give me the option of choosing
[09:29] <mgcross> lol...my questions would ne limited to inane things like is you service running on a blocked port...<blush>
[09:29] <E_r_i_K> medic: have you tried ssh-copy-id ?
[09:29] <OofCZer0> does anyone know this general area of help
[09:30] <medic30420> E_r_i_K: i cannot get that to work
[09:30] <medic30420> E_r_i_K: always permission denied
[09:30] <Montag_> OofCZer0: Did you install windows recently?
[09:30] <OofCZer0> no
[09:31] <OofCZer0> Montag_ its been about 2 months maybe less
[09:31] <E_r_i_K> medic: what are your permissions on the ~/.ssh on the remote box?
[09:31] <Montag_> OofCZer0: Hmm. Do you usually use grub as a bootloader?
[09:31] <medic30420> E_r_i_K: currently 600
[09:31] <medic30420> ownership under my username
[09:31] <medic30420> tried under root
[09:32] <medic30420> read / write
[09:32] <OofCZer0> Montag_ this is my first day trying to uses ubuntu, and i have yet to get it working
[09:33] <E_r_i_K> medic: after ssh-copy-id does it put something in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys?
[09:34] <medic30420> E_r_i_K: no, it gives an access denied
[09:34] <Montag_> OofCZer0: I'd suggest trying to ask someone to help you install a bootloader, like grub, which would allow you to switch between Ubuntu and Windows (assuming you have them on different partitions). You'd need at least an Ubuntu install CD to do this, but I don't know the specifics.
[09:34] <mixelogj> Hello everyone. I have installed all the important thinkpad stuff on my thinkpad T43, but I am having trouble compiling a patched with queuefreeze 2.6.16 kernel. Specifically, I compile and install it without problems, but I can't get it to boot. I am sure the problem is the sata drive. I have created the initrd image but it returns two errors from modules that were not found. During boot, it tries to find "hda" which does not exist and of course freeze.
[09:34] <mixelogj>  I have lost so much time in this but I want to use ubuntu instead of windows...
[09:35] <OofCZer0> does anyone know how to install a bootloader like Montag_ is talking about?????
[09:36] <E_r_i_K> medic30420:  my usual next move is to rename ~/.ssh and then retry, but that is just me
[09:36] <livingdaylight> have people safely updated the recent kernel update?
[09:36] <medic30420> E_r_i_K: i will give it a try
[09:37] <E_r_i_K> medic: if that works, you can compare the permissions and merge accordingly
[09:37] <OofCZer0> does anyone know how to install a bootloader like Montag_ is talking about?????
[09:39] <Drops> good morning
[09:39] <livingdaylight> does someone know whether its safe to update the kernel etc ?
[09:39] <medic30420> E_r_i_K: hey, that worked
[09:39] <maxamillion> i followed this tutorial (http://process-of-elimination.net/wiki/Ubuntu_32bit_CHROOT_for_AMD64) on getting a 32-bit chroot installed and everything went fine on the install and setup, but the script at the bottom of the page errored out, anyone know why?
[09:40] <Montag_> Anyone able to walk OofCZer0 through setting up grub?
[09:40] <medic30420> E_r_i_K: wierd, let me go look at the permissions
[09:40] <E_r_i_K> medic: :)
[09:40] <Drops> does anyone know, where to get ical? It isn't in the repositories, is it?
[09:41] <medic30420> E_r_i_K: execute was checked, other than that everything the same
[09:41] <medic30420> E_r_i_K: thanks a bunch
[09:41] <E_r_i_K> medic: np
[09:41] <MCD> Hello I just formatted and am dual booting with XP and Ubuntu. I just installed my ATI Raedon 9600 drivers on XP and then when i went to load Ubuntu I got errors.. Any clue what to do?
[09:41] <gharz> hi guys.i'm updating my system but i'm getting a failed msg => W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libxfont/libxfont1_1.0.0-0ubuntu3.1_i386.deb.404 Not Found
[09:41] <gharz> what does it mean?
[09:42] <pitti> gharz: your package index is out of date
[09:42] <pitti> gharz: you need to update it first (reload in synaptic, apt-get update on the shell)
[09:42] <gharz> ok i'll try it. thanks!
[09:44] <livingdaylight> i got a red button on my desktop, telling me to update kernel etc. Is it safe?
[09:44] <maxamillion> livingdaylight: yeah ... i updated an hour ago
[09:44] <livingdaylight> maxamillion: thx :) and your system obviously hasn't crashed
[09:45] <KenMikaze> hello can i ask a question? please don't let me do RTFM like the guys in #linux does. Is it ok to install wine?
[09:45] <maxamillion> livingdaylight: nope :)
[09:45] <mypapit> i wanna sektoi!!!
[09:45] <livingdaylight> maxamillion: just needed reassuring. Last time i lost X for a day and it wasn't fun
[09:45] <maxamillion> livingdaylight: ouch, that's not good
[09:45] <OofCZer0> mcd are you matthew christopher davis???
[09:47] <KenMikaze> duh, nobody seems to care...
[09:47] <OofCZer0> so can anyone help me install a bootloader
[09:49] <mixelogj> has anyone recompiled and successfully booted 2.6.16 on a SATA hdd?
[09:50] <irawan> OofCZer0: what have you got so far?
[09:50] <KenMikaze> hello can i ask a question? please don't let me do RTFM like the guys in #linux does. Is it ok to install wine?
[09:51] <JoseStefan> KenMikaze, define ok
[09:51] <KenMikaze> install grub
[09:51] <MTecknology> Uhh O... I made a backup of my system using Mondo/Mindi... I tried to use it and it doesn't work. I put CD #1 in and my computer won't boot from this CD. I put in #2 and it boots from here, but it errors/quits because it is not the first disk. I am in Windows now and I can't see any files in D:/ but when I look at the CD at an angle, it is obvious data has been burned to it... How do I get my system back?
[09:52] <blenda> hi all! what decides if a package is placed in multiverse?
[09:52] <KenMikaze> are you dual booting 0ofCZER0?
[09:52] <KenMikaze> uhm JoseStefan OK=Alright
[09:53] <Flannel> !tell KenMikaze about wine
[09:53] <JoseStefan> KenMikaze, that's not exactly i meant
[09:53] <frogzoo> KenMikaze: wine from the repos is out of date, either build from the source budgetdedicated repos, or the sourceforge binary
[09:54] <KenMikaze> thanks Flannel
[09:54] <JoseStefan> KenMikaze, as long as you install wine from the official repos, it shouldnt break anything. But that doesnt mean the apps you want to use will work flawlessly
[09:55] <KenMikaze> ok, because i'm getting the wine from a debian repository, as ubuntu community said.
[09:55] <KenMikaze> deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt breezy main
[09:56] <JoseStefan> !info wine

[09:57] <ajwasek> hello?
[09:57] <mixelogj> has anyone recompiled and successfully booted 2.6.16 on a SATA hdd?
[09:58] <mixelogj> or any kernel for that matter.
[09:58] <mtecknology> I made a backup of my system using Mondo/Mindi... I tried to use it and it doesn't work. I put CD #1 in and my computer won't boot from this CD.

I am in Windows now and I can't see any files in D:/ but when I look at the CD at an angle, it is obvious data has been burned to it... How do I get my system back?
[09:58] <ajwasek> how do i show a window with all the users in xchat
[09:58] <ajwasek> it's not showing who is in the channel
[09:59] <JoseStefan> ajwasek: you could use the /who command
[09:59] <mixelogj> click on botton left where it says <number> users
[09:59] <mixelogj> but that may just be gnome xchat
[09:59] <ajwasek> well i just installed ubuntu
[10:00] <JoseStefan> ajwasek: correction: the /names command
[10:00] <ajwasek> yeah but i want a window with all thjose names in there
[10:00] <tristan_> Anyone use Xgl/Compiz under KDE?
[10:01] <ajwasek> so what application on ubuntu is good for downloading music/playing music
[10:01] <KenMikaze> xmms

[10:01] <ajwasek> cool
[10:01] <blenda> !last multi
[10:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about last multi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:01] <KenMikaze> i can't play mp3 on my rhytmbox and totem
[10:01] <KenMikaze> hehehehe
[10:01] <XeniX> hey everyone. My sound just stopped working.... I was listening to music in XMMS and it just died.... The soundcard and speakers work OK. Any Ideas?
[10:02] <manofwar> hi, does anyone have any solution to getting nvtv to work with newer nvidia cards? it simply says no supported video card found. and restarting X for each time i wanna switch between tv  and monitor isn't very cool as i have to shutdown everything
[10:02] <Flannel> tristan_: #ubuntu-xgl
[10:02] <tristan_> Flannel, thanks
[10:02] <KenMikaze> and for chatting, open your terminal and type sudo apt-get insall irssi
[10:02] <Flannel> irssi is already installed
[10:03] <KenMikaze> ok, open irssi
[10:03] <KenMikaze> have fun chatting on your terminal box,
[10:05] <KenMikaze> uhm, btw, how can i set my winmodem to run for up to 32. KBPS?
[10:05] <ajwasek> that nigga got sting rayed
[10:05] <suyog> sudo has stopped asking me for password! what can i do?
[10:05] <ireneshusband> anyone know about ethernet bridges? I've just set up a bridge but pings fail across it even though dhcp requests work. Thought it might be something to do with the promisc flag in ifconfig, but setting that for my ethernet devices didn't do anything. Any ideas appreciated.
[10:06] <Flannel> suyog: have you used sudo recently?
[10:06] <mixelogj> maybe you gave it a password less that 15 minutes ago?
[10:06] <ajwasek> steve irwin?
[10:06] <suyog> no. it hasn't asked me password for the last one week now. even after reboots
[10:06] <Flannel> ajwasek: #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:06] <ajwasek> thanks, and sorry
[10:07] <suyog> it just executes the commands without password. isn't that unsafe?
[10:07] <JoseStefan> suyog, does your user have a password?
[10:08] <ireneshusband> suyog, try doing passwd <yourusername> and see if that makes a difference
[10:08] <suyog> yes, my user has a password. I think i changed something when i was creating another user for my system. now i can't undo it cause i don't know what i changed
[10:08] <treedreamer> hello guys
[10:08] <Commander-Crowe> hey um is anyone here good with hardware
[10:09] <treedreamer> is there any one using amule?
[10:09] <KenMikaze> whatabouts, Commander-Crowe ?
[10:09] <Commander-Crowe> well

[10:09] <JoseStefan> Commander-Crowe, yes
[10:10] <Ketsuban> Hi, I've just configured dualscreen and I notice each screen has its own cursor. Is there a way to hide the cursor on the inactive screen or otherwise make it so only one cursor is ever shown at any time?
[10:10] <KenMikaze> yeah
[10:10] <bsdfox> so yes
[10:10] <treedreamer> It seems that when you try to add some big files ,
[10:10] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[10:10] <treedreamer> it just crashes
[10:10] <Commander-Crowe> cuz my mobo was burnt out when my PSU blew out
[10:10] <Commander-Crowe> mybe my CPU too but I have no way to tell
[10:11] <KenMikaze> ok, installing wine.
[10:11] <kholerabbi> Hullo, I am trying to use beagle, but it doesn't seem to work properly - it says it is indexing my home directory, but I have tried lots of different searches that should have results and none are found :(
[10:11] <mixelogj> has anyone recompiled and successfully booted 2.6.16 (or any other recent kernel for that matter) on a SATA hdd?
[10:13] <malcc> Hi, I can't get the dapper liveCD to boot on my desktop, after starting Enterprise Volume Management System it throws up an endless stream of errors
[10:13] <Schalken> can ubuntu read and write reiserfs?

[10:15] <mtecknology> I made a backup of my system using Mondo/Mindi... I tried to use it and it doesn't work. I put CD #1 in and my computer won't boot from this CD. I put in #2 and it boots from here, but it errors/quits because it is not the first disk. I am in Windows now and I can't see any files in D:/ but when I look at the CD at an angle, it is obvious data has been burned to it... How do I get my system back?
[10:16] <mtecknology> How do I recover data off of an apparently blank CD?
[10:16] <Schalken> mtechnology: whats Mondo/Mindi?
[10:16] <manofwar> is it blank or just aparently? you can perhaps dump it on disk with 'dd'
[10:16] <Schalken> '[;
[10:16] <Schalken> whoops, cat on keyboard :p
[10:17] <Commander-Crowe> how do I tell if a proc is bad without puting it into a mobo?
[10:17] <KenMikaze> Commander-Crowe, nada
[10:17] <KenMikaze> plug it first.
[10:17] <Commander-Crowe> ?
[10:18] <KenMikaze> whoops, i mean try it on your mobo first.
[10:18] <JoseStefan> Commander-Crowe, RMA it
[10:18] <Commander-Crowe> I can't
[10:18] <Commander-Crowe> my mobo went bad along with my PSU
[10:18] <KenMikaze> what's your pc, commander?
[10:18] <OofCZer0> irawan i have installed ubuntu and thats it, i restart and it does not let me boot to it, it just boots windows and does not give me a choice
[10:18] <KenMikaze> dell?
[10:18] <KenMikaze> oh, out of warranty, isn't it?
[10:18] <Commander-Crowe> costum built
[10:19] <Commander-Crowe> I need to figure out if the CPU is bad too
[10:19] <KenMikaze> 0ofCZero dude, is your windows installed on a primary partition?
[10:20] <KenMikaze> cuz i spent a lot of days trying to scratch my head off only to discover my windows was installed on a logical partition
[10:20] <Schalken> Commander-Crowe: (JOKE) grab a multimeter and see if you get current going through it ;) (JOKE)
[10:21] <Commander-Crowe> at least my ram works great
[10:21] <Commander-Crowe> got a life time warrenty on it
[10:21] <ajwasek> ok i'm trying to play a porno that is an mpeg with totern but it says the codec is not installed
[10:21] <ajwasek> where do i get it

[10:25] <KenMikaze> hehehe
[10:25] <Ketsuban> I've just configured dualscreen and I notice each screen has its own cursor, which is slightly disorienting. Is there a way to hide the cursor on the inactive screen or otherwise make it so only one cursor is ever shown at any time?
[10:25] <Commander-Crowe> I can't afford to spend alot of money on my computer so how do you guys feel about buying an open box?
[10:26] <KenMikaze> Commander-Crowe, linexant says i have to pay a "modest" amount for me to get a full driver specs.
[10:26] <JoseStefan> bye everyone
[10:26] <KenMikaze> i dunno, commander-crowe, but the parts may come in handy
[10:27] <bionoid> I'm running aiglx/compiz - extremely smooth experience, but - is there any way to get dual monitor working? (intel i845)
[10:27] <Commander-Crowe> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131548R
[10:27] <seshomaru> hello , need some quick advice about nvidia cards
[10:27] <Commander-Crowe> thats the mobo I want to get
[10:27] <Schalken> ajwasek: go to Applications -> Add/Remove, then click 'Advanced' down the bottom, then look for and install the packages listed near the top of that page.
[10:27] <KenMikaze> try msi or epox they're pretty cheap and pretty decent
[10:28] <ajwasek> doing that now, thanks for all the help
[10:28] <Schalken> ajwasek: any more questions just shoot
[10:29] <Commander-Crowe> seshomaru: shoot
[10:29] <sandrinux> seshomaru: write a question, don't ask if you can write a question.
[10:29] <seshomaru> oh
[10:29] <seshomaru> ok
[10:29] <KenMikaze> arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh I have to wait until my wine download finishes, and it says I have to wait for 2 damned hours, all that for a 12.5MB Download?
[10:29] <seshomaru> does it matter what model nvidia card i get?
[10:29] <seshomaru> (i want to buy one)
[10:29] <Commander-Crowe> it needs to be fairly new
[10:29] <Commander-Crowe> like 2003 or newer to work well
[10:30] <sandrinux> KenMikaze: hey , thei send you the code via snail-mail ?
[10:30] <seshomaru> how about 6200 is that a new one?
[10:30] <Commander-Crowe> I always have problems with older ones
[10:30] <Schalken> seshomaru: as long as its a gefore 5 (aka FX) or newer you cant go wrong with nvidia for linux.
[10:30] <Commander-Crowe> seshomaru: that'll work great
[10:30] <seshomaru> ok
[10:30] <seshomaru> thanks
[10:30] <KenMikaze> give me the specs seshomaru
[10:30] <slacker_nl> hi all
[10:30] <seshomaru> KenMikaze, my specs?
[10:31] <slacker_nl> got a question regarding the /etc/resolv.conf icw the host cmd
[10:31] <Schalken> seshomaru: i can reccommend a geforce 6200 (low end) or 6600 (mid range, lota power)
[10:31] <KenMikaze> for the 6200 nvidia
[10:31] <seshomaru> KenMikaze, is 80$ a good price?
[10:31] <slacker_nl> how come on ubuntu it does not follow the search domains?
[10:31] <Schalken> seshomaru: currency?
[10:31] <seshomaru> US$
[10:31] <KenMikaze> yeah, it is.
[10:31] <Commander-Crowe> seshomaru: you should pay $80 for a a 6600
[10:32] <drbashir> So If I understood correctly: Dapper is the current release, Edgy will be the next release, and the different Knot versions are development milestones?
[10:32] <seshomaru> I need to buy a new motherboard that supports nvidia as well, can anyone recommend one?
[10:32] <sandrinux> i bought a g-force   agp  Mb for  Euro
[10:32] <sandrinux> that is..
[10:33] <Commander-Crowe> seshomaru: depends on what proc
[10:33] <drbashir> sandrinux, forgot to turn on num-lock? :P
[10:33] <sandrinux> 63 $
[10:33] <KenMikaze> go for msi
[10:33] <seshomaru> Commander-Crowe, what is proc? (hardware illiterate , I am)
[10:33] <Commander-Crowe> seshomaru: CPU proccessor
[10:33] <seshomaru> oh
[10:34] <Commander-Crowe> AMDor Intel
[10:34] <Commander-Crowe> Pentium 4 or Athlon 64
[10:34] <seshomaru> I have pentium 4 2.20ghz
[10:34] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[10:34] <seshomaru> Commander-Crowe, is it worth updating the CPU as well?
[10:34] <Commander-Crowe> depends
[10:34] <Commander-Crowe> what will you be doing?
[10:35] <sandrinux> drbashir: Yes :-) was g-force 6 - 6200 256Mb for 50 Euro
[10:35] <seshomaru> Watching DVD's
[10:35] <seshomaru> +XGL
[10:35] <Commander-Crowe> it should be fine
[10:36] <seshomaru> last question - how much will you pay for a decent motherboard that supports Nvidia + Pentium 4?
[10:37] <ireneshusband> i've set up an ethernet bridge. dhcp works across the bridge, but pings and http fail. anyone got any idea what's up?
[10:37] <KenMikaze> Commander-Crowe, i have a v9250 agp 8x card here
[10:38] <Commander-Crowe> KenMikaze: so?
[10:38] <KenMikaze> 2500 Baht, roughly 62.50 USD

[10:44] <OofCZer0> and hasnt worked for me yet
[10:44] <KenMikaze> i see follow the grub how to listed above.

[10:44] <OofCZer0> and typed in the commands and it says that the filesystem type not correct
[10:45] <ireneshusband> talking about ati, when i installed dapper a couple of days ago hardware acceleration worked, out of the box, with the open source driver. then i must have done some stuff including installing fglrx, found that fglrx was no good, rolled back to the open source driver and found acceleration no longer working.  Any ideas?
[10:45] <Ketsuban> I've just configured dualscreen and I notice each screen has its own cursor, which is slightly disorienting. Is there a way to hide the cursor on the inactive screen or otherwise make it so only one cursor is ever shown at any time?

[10:48] <thegve> Hey.. I'm having problems using my raid controller under the ubuntu installer. It's a SIS sas(some number). The XEN kernel supports the controller. So I'd liked to install ubuntu on one of the disk, and then let the raid controller build the array after installation. The controller only complains about not having enough space left on the disk for creating the array data. How much space should I leave free?
[10:48] <KenMikaze> you have to reinstall windows to fat32, sorry dude.

[10:49] <bony> how to test cpu performence in ubuntu dapper 64bit?
[10:49] <maxamillion> ok ... everything that is running in ram is fine, but i can't open any new applications and i can't even log into command line viz ctrl+alt+f1 .... any thoughts?
[10:49] <maxamillion> i just lost my mouse
[10:50] <shadeofgrey> what version of ubuntu do i download that can handle more than one processoir and utilize the macbookpro?
[10:50] <bony> is there any c code or something like that?
[10:50] <thegve> bony: apt-cache search benchmark
[10:50] <ootput> shadeofgrey: ppc, install -smp kernel
[10:50] <shadeofgrey> no
[10:50] <bony> thegve, thanks for the pointer i will check it out
[10:50] <shadeofgrey> its not a power pc computer
[10:50] <maxamillion> ootput: macbook pro == intel core duo
[10:50] <shadeofgrey> its intel
[10:50] <maxamillion> brb
[10:50] <ootput> maxamillion: ah
[10:50] <shadeofgrey> and the core duo IS dual core is it not?
[10:51] <RogerRabb> hey, looking for a code documentation programme.. something I can use to document programmes for users of the programme, and for developers.. Trying to keep to a strict standard - eg similar to standard that latex employs
[10:51] <robert_> is it me, or is us.archive.ubuntu.com slow?
[10:51] <thegve> RogerRabb: What programming language
[10:51] <ootput> shadeofgrey: one of the first few google hits: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=198453
[10:51] <thegve> RogerRabb: JavaDoc, PHPdoc (lot more languages)Doc
[10:51] <ootput> documentation is often easier to follow than irc banter :/
[10:52] <thegve> RogerRabb: Though writing user documentation in the code seams a bit weird to me
[10:52] <ootput> are any of you del.icio.us junkies?
[10:52] <RogerRabb> thegve many.. html, javascript, php, asp.net, c#, python, etc..
[10:52] <bony> thegve, there is a package call stress
[10:52] <RogerRabb> and no no no.. I won't be writing user documentation in the code
[10:52] <thegve> main () # Please click the right mouse button and select "copy"
[10:52] <bony> thegve, will that do? it describes "A tool to impose load on and stress test a computer system"
[10:53] <robert_> RogerRabb: why?
[10:53] <robert_> er, why not?
[10:53] <robert_> oh
[10:53] <thegve> bony: Don't know, you could try...
[10:53] <bony> ok i will cehck it out
[10:53] <robert_> he wants to write sloppy code, and have *Doc figure it out
[10:53] <RogerRabb> I don't want something which goes through my code and takes my comments and puts it into a file for 'documentation'.. I'm writing my own documentation, separate to the code. I'm after a proper application to do structure and format it.. which won't degrade over time..
[10:53] <RogerRabb> no no robert_
[10:54] <RogerRabb> user documentation over features, and documentation for developers.. seperate from code comments.
[10:54] <robert_> Ah
[10:54] <robert_> something like a win32 help studio
[10:55] <shadeofgrey> whoa
[10:55] <shadeofgrey> installation of ubuntu as a dual boot on intel macs is COMPLICATED
[10:55] <ootput> but it gets the job done
[10:56] <thegve> Right. But does anyone here know how much space I need to leave empty on a disc in order to have the raid controller able to create it's raid data on it?
[10:56] <shadeofgrey> does ati video card support in ubuntu still blow rancid baboon balls?
[10:56] <thegve> It's in a raid 1 configuration (with one hot spare, 3 discs..)
[10:56] <RogerRabb> not even that really. Looking for something which applies to all languages for documentation.. eg similar to the latex strictness for scientific documents, just something which is suited towards programming code examples, screenshots of applications, etc, which I know will be the same in years to come. Don't want to write my own standard, because there shuold obviously be something like this out already.
[10:57] <ootput> cool, nvidia driver update
[10:57] <RogerRabb> I could use xml and xslt.. but don't want to make my own standard, as I've already mentioned
[10:58] <KenMikaze> ei, if ooczero comes back, kindly ask him if he installed ubuntu first and windows second.
[10:58] <thegve> RogerRabb: I usually just use OO writer for this in our company's housestyle, and for developer documentation I use *Doc, which is quite cool after heaving read it's documentation.
[11:00] <RogerRabb> right.. I'll continue my search then, since that hardly seems ideal
[11:09] <maxamillion> this might be a pointless question ... but is it possible to recover a directory after i rm'd it?
[11:09] <bugihugi> yes, restore it from backup..
[11:10] <maxamillion> bugihugi: i didn't explicitly do a backup, does ubuntu have some feature i don't know about?
[11:10] <tristan_> Anyone use LaTeX here?
[11:10] <dburger> yes tristan_
[11:10] <bugihugi> max : no sorry....not that i know of.
[11:11] <tristan_> dburger, One of my title section is going out of the page. Ho can I automatically break it so it is not cut
[11:11] <DBO> maxamillion, possible?  yes... easy?  not at all
[11:11] <ootput> what's the Xorg equivalent (less hacks) of xgl?
[11:11] <ootput> aixgl or something?
[11:11] <maxamillion> DBO: easy is not of my concern, i REQUIRE those files
[11:11] <tristan_> dburger, when I put \\ in the section it doesn't do anything
[11:11] <maxamillion> i created a chroot and apparently linked the wrong directory and fragged it
[11:11] <dburger> tristan_, let me review some of my old work, hold on
[11:12] <maxamillion> DBO: how do i get them back?
[11:12] <DBO> maxamillion, low level data recovery, but you need to stop using that drive like right now before they parts of the drive they were on get overwritten
[11:13] <maxamillion> DBO: i'm on a live cd ... as soon as i deleted them i shutdown
[11:13] <tristan_> dburger, OK, I'm waiting. Hope you don't have too much old work ;)
[11:14] <dburger> "out of the page" what do you mean, off the right margin or what?
[11:15] <tristan_> dburger, exactly, off the right margin
[11:15] <DBO> maxamillion, ok, http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/tct.html  you need something like that
[11:15] <dburger> in a \section{Whatever}
[11:15] <tristan_> dburger, exactly
[11:15] <DBO> maxamillion, having never had to actually do recovery like that myself (I have backups of my key files made on a 4 hour basis) I dont know how to use it, so dont ask me
[11:16] <DM-Horus> anyone recommend any themes?
[11:16] <dburger> try \linebreak ?
[11:16] <maxamillion> DBO: what program do you use to make backups every 4 hours?
[11:17] <maxamillion> DBO: because i obviously need to do this in the future
[11:17] <tristan_> dburger, not working
[11:17] <DBO> maxamillion, NFS and cron
[11:17] <bugihugi> max : http://www.r-studio.com/ may also be helpful, altough it is payware...
[11:17] <drumline> DM-Horus: anything withous a grassy knoll and fake clouds...
[11:17] <drumline> without
[11:17] <ootput> for those of you using xgl and nvidia with xorg, is it relatively easy to disable the feature (i.e, purge my system of it)?
[11:17] <DBO> back in 10 rebooting
[11:18] <ootput> I'd like to take xgl out for a spin, and not have to worry about irreversible damage to my box
[11:18] <DM-Horus> since theres not enough glassy/longhorn themes
[11:18] <Ketsuban> I've just configured dualscreen and I notice each screen has its own cursor, which is slightly disorienting. Is there a way to hide the cursor on the inactive screen or otherwise make it so only one cursor is ever shown at any time?
[11:18] <drumline> running out of HD space sucks
[11:20] <bugihugi> maxamillion: i use http://backuppc.sourceforge.net for backup. Excellent tool....
[11:22] <maxamillion> bugihugi: thanks ...
[11:22] <maxamillion> i also think i might have found a way to get my files back, and if it works ... i plan to publish it on wiki.ubuntu.com
[11:22] <maxamillion> publish a how-to*
[11:22] <compengi> how to know what tcl version i have?
[11:23] <bon> how do i setup file sharing between two kubuntu computers
[11:23] <compengi> bon, you need samba
[11:23] <compengi> !samba
[11:23] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[11:24] <drumline> anyone ever work with Centrify?
[11:24] <bon> but they are both useung kubuntu
[11:24] <Elij> try sshfs or nfs
[11:24] <rambo3> compengi, tcl ? try with apt-cache policy tcl
[11:24] <Elij> !nfs
[11:24] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[11:24] <Elij> !sshfs
[11:24] <ubotu> sshfs: filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 23 kB, installed size 100 kB
[11:24] <drumline> I'm interested in getting a Samba server participating fully with an Active Directory domain...  permissions...  all that stuff... I need it.
[11:25] <manofwar> would anyone happen do know the hexnumber of for the cardchip id on nvidia 7300 le ? im trying to get nvtv to work, but this card isnt represented there and scanpci gives me bogus output
[11:29] <compengi> how do i update my tcl?
[11:29] <mixelogj> has anyone recompiled and successfully booted 2.6.16 (or any other recent kernel for that matter) on a SATA hdd?
[11:30] <slacker_nl> anyone has an answer to this question: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1501575#post1501575 ?
[11:30] <roxio> ola??
[11:30] <DBO> mixelogj, SATA is no issue
[11:30] <DBO> mixelogj, Im running SATA right now
[11:30] <mixelogj> it is. I can't get the kernel to boot. I think SATA is the issue because it tries to find "hda" at boot, instead of "sda".
[11:30] <mixelogj> me too, but with the kernel ubuntu install compiled
[11:31] <DBO> are you keeping your previous kernel selections when you recompile?
[11:31] <mixelogj> yup. I copied .config as it was from the existing kernel
[11:31] <mixelogj> the only difference is that i apply the queuefreeze patch
[11:33] <DBO> mixelogj, no idea, i dont have any issues...
[11:33] <compengi> DBO, can you help?
[11:33] <mixelogj> you simply copied .config, compiled the kernel and booted with sata?
[11:33] <mixelogj> (and created initrd)
[11:35] <roxio> hola??

[11:38] <RogerRabb> don't think it's in any repository..
[11:38] <RogerRabb> if you check umm
[11:38] <tchung> I think it should be in dapper non-free
[11:38] <rambo3> tchung, no
[11:38] <tchung> http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/pool/dapper/non-free/w32codecs_20060611-1plf1_i386.deb ?

[11:56] <RMorris84> "jams" ?
[11:57] <RMorris84> did u select a keyboard layout?
[11:57] <ootput> are any of you using xgl with xfce (via xubuntu or other?) My screen resolution is @ 1024x768, but xgl produces a 800x600 screen (top-left aligned) instead
[11:57] <ngnz> Yes American English
[11:58] <MenZa> If I connect an Ethernet cable after starting my system, how can I make Ubuntu find my connection?
[11:59] <RMorris84> ngnz: what do u mean by jams? when u first load up the disk, did u see an option to check the cd? i would try that
[11:59] <rpedro> hi, anyone tried fireflier? is it any good? can't seem to find an howto for it
[11:59] <RMorris84> MenZa: system>admin>networking
[11:59] <MenZa> RMorris84: Cheers.
[11:59] <MenZa> err
[12:00] <TeemuR> Does anybody have this problem too: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=257767 ?
[12:00] <MenZa> RMorris84: any idea where that is in KDE :)?

[12:00] <RMorris84> ifconfig ?
[12:00] <ngnz> RMorris84 will try that now

[12:02] <dibblego> anyone use frostwire and tried to download a file only to have nothing happen but a command on standard output?
[12:03] <duellsy> hey party people, i was wondering if anyboy would be able to give me a tad of help on the installation of ubunutu 6.06?
[12:03] <MenZa> RMorris84: hmm, on second inspection, it doesn't :s
[12:03] <duellsy> step 6 isn't giving me the partitions i crreated in step 5 to choose... any ideas??
[12:04] <rambo3> !ati
[12:04] <RMorris84> MenZa: mine has always just worked when i plugged it after ive booted, but im on wireless fulltime... so i havent had to fiddle with it much, would it just be easier to reboot? lol
[12:04] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:04] <MenZa> RMorris84: perhaps, but it's a time-consuming process
[12:04] <MenZa> And occasionally my ethernet cable unplugs (the little click-thing has fallen off)
[12:05] <duellsy> is anybody able to help me out??
[12:05] <RMorris84> ah, i hate that...
[12:05] <RMorris84> duellsy: ... whats up
[12:05] <RMorris84> oh... step 6
[12:05] <RMorris84> duellsy: what kind of partitions did u make?
[12:05] <duellsy> RMorris84: im having trouble with installing ubuntu 6.06
[12:06] <duellsy> well i made 3, 2 as ext3, the other as swap
[12:06] <RMorris84> MenZa: i dont use kde, when i did have to plug in a cable i just did the networking in gnome and it worked
[12:06] <MenZa> RMorris84: right, I'll try in #kubuntu
[12:06] <RMorris84> should be able to help sorry man
[12:06] <RMorris84> duellsy: and in step 6 u dont see the ones u made?
[12:06] <duellsy> RMorris84: but when i go back to step 5, it says that the filesystsem for all the new partitions are "unknown"
[12:06] <duellsy> no
[12:07] <RMorris84> are they the only partitions on that drive?
[12:07] <duellsy> no, there is still my windows partition that I need to keep
[12:07] <RMorris84> so u are trying to dual boot
[12:07] <duellsy> yes
[12:08] <RMorris84> well.. did u defrag by chance before u tried the install...
[12:09] <duellsy> the new partitions created are taking over what was previously gentoo
[12:10] <RMorris84> duellsy: hrm, so u got ur windows partition, then u have another partition that is divided into 3 smaller parts right? 2 ext3 and 1 swap?
[12:11] <duellsy> yep, that's right
[12:11] <RMorris84> do u get any errors in step 6?
[12:12] <duellsy> no, but the only options I have for the partition to choose in the drop downs are the windows partition, and the other hard drive... theres no mention of the newly created partitions
[12:12] <RMorris84> then i dont think its creating ur partitions correctly...
[12:13] <RMorris84> (i know im captain obvious)
[12:13] <duellsy> yeah, well when i choose to go back a step... it shows the 3 partitions, but their filesystems are all "unknown"
[12:13] <duellsy> hehe yeah
[12:13] <RMorris84> can u burn another live cd?
[12:13] <duellsy> you think it might be the cd?
[12:14] <RMorris84> i would get the gparted live cd... and setup ur partitions before u try to install
[12:14] <duellsy> gparted?
[12:14] <RMorris84> or try to set them up in windows with a program
[12:14] <duellsy> i have a gentoo cd... i could just use that yeah?
[12:15] <duellsy> oh yeah, like image magic... that lets you choose ext3 and swap etc?
[12:15] <RMorris84> gnome partition editor
[12:15] <RMorris84> yeah, that why the ubuntu cd isnt creating them for u...
[12:15] <duellsy> ...why, what? haha
[12:15] <RMorris84> u could also try... before u boot into the live cd... to "check cd" for erros
[12:16] <RMorris84> before that was, "yeah, that WAY.."
[12:16] <ngnz> RMorris84  all media was fine.......... just rebooting it now
[12:16] <duellsy> well im already booting into windows, so i might just try setting them up, and just then be able to skip step 5
[12:16] <HetaUma> hi
[12:16] <HetaUma> is there any "easy" way yet to install ubuntu on systems with p965 chipsets with jmicron controller?
[12:17] <Snake[Sleep] > Any wget masters in here?
[12:18] <RMorris84> duellsy: :) and hopefully u'll be able to enjoy ubuntu
[12:18] <duellsy> with a bit of luck, yeah :P
[12:19] <RMorris84> duellsy: it took me about 2 weeks of ubuntu to ditch my windows partition...
[12:19] <duellsy> really?
[12:21] <RMorris84> yup... i mean it all depends on what u do, and what u cant live without.. the basic things i do all the time (browse web, email, aim, etc) is easily done in ubuntu... and i just found myself not moving booting into windows...
[12:21] <slacker_nl> Snake[Sleep] : what do you need to know?
[12:22] <cyberfr0g> good
[12:22] <Snake[Sleep] > slacker_nl,  If I can use wget to download every mp3 from this dir http://www.machinaesupremacy.com/music/ (the band gives their site releases away for free, I want them all :-D )

[12:22] <duellsy> heh, yeah i do web design and stuff, where i rely on dreamweaver at the moment, so i guess it would be a while if i were to move completely over
[12:22] <guillem101> Does AIXGL work with nvidia drivers?
[12:22] <RMorris84> and i eventually thought of it this way, "Man... windoze is really wasting alot of my space..." and then i stole it back :)
[12:22] <slacker_nl> Snake[Sleep] : wget -r
[12:23] <Snake[Sleep] > slacker_nl, but then thatll get the ogg versions too wont wont it?
[12:23] <RMorris84> duellsy: www.aptana.com www.aptana.tv
[12:23] <duellsy> hahahaha
[12:23] <Snake[Sleep] > I just wat the mp3s
[12:23] <duellsy> whats that?
[12:23] <Snake[Sleep] > slacker_nl, would it be wget http://www.machinaesupremacy.com/music/*.mp3?
[12:23] <RMorris84> duellsy: i also do web design
[12:23] <Snake[Sleep] > well wget -r http://www.machinaesupremacy.com/music/*.mp3
[12:24] <duellsy> oooh, oh yeah
[12:24] <RMorris84> watch some of the videos on aptana.tv its what i used to move away from dreamweaver...
[12:24] <duellsy> haha i'll have to check it out

[12:38] <slacker_nl> atroWork: grep for LANG
[12:38] <nicu> salut
[12:39] <Overand> maybe do a dpkg-reconfigure locales ?
[12:39] <knapper> LANGUAGE=en
[12:39] <nicu> am si eu una mica problema daca poate sa ma ajute si pe mine careva?
[12:39] <knapper> overand I did that

[12:39] <Caplain> thx RMorris84
[12:39] <Overand> yes- if i ever suggest a command with a 'maybe' - i mean it =]

[12:41] <atroWork> knapper, not that it'll help you much, but my LANG variable is en_US.UTF-8 perhaps yours is in a wrong format (wild guesses here)

[12:42] <atroWork> nicu, it starts automatically when you install it. Do you have the VMware console installed to connect to it? or the VMware Management User Interface?

[12:54] <nicu> i hope i have instaled from ubuntu /add/remove packege
[12:54] <asodesign> it doesnt help with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:54] <vk__> nicu: you need to set up a vmx file first to point towards the iso... easyvmx.com will help you make one :)
[12:54] <asodesign> I had run sudo apt-get update in start too
[12:55] <nicu> :) ok Y'l try
[12:55] <asodesign> how to get the gnome back?
[12:55] <Hmmmm> hi guys, i'm having some resolution issues. can anyone help?
[12:56] <MenZa> !resolution > Hmmmm
[12:56] <MenZa> !anyone > Hmmmm
[12:56] <asodesign> any one can help me with that problem?
[12:57] <MenZa> gnome?
[12:57] <MenZa> Is it still installed?
[12:58] <ootput> Hmmmm: state the question when asking for help
[12:58] <asodesign> MenZa >> my sound card didn worked then I uninstalled the sound driver
[12:58] <MenZa> er, okay
[12:58] <nicu> DO NOT ENABLE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! :) i don"T now wat i"m doyng?
[12:58] <MenZa> you're in a terminal, I assume :P?
[12:59] <asodesign> MenZa >> I just have the terminal now
[12:59] <Ag4Ms> hello room..
[12:59] <MenZa> asodesign: startx
[12:59] <Rookie-> !nvidia
[12:59] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:59] <MenZa> or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[12:59] <vk__> nicu: then you probably dont need to enable it :)
[12:59] <knapper> Hey guys, I dont remember who exactly was helping me-- overand I think you were. Anyway, I figured it out, all I need to do was type 'unset LANG' and that did the trick.
[01:00] <asodesign> MenZa >> dows that bring graphic back?
[01:00] <MenZa> asodesign: yes. It starts Gnome.
[01:00] <MenZa> (starts your default x server)
[01:01] <asodesign> thanks abunch but what if gnome is been removed?
[01:01] <MenZa> It shouldn't be, unless you did that yourself :P
[01:01] <asodesign> well maybe the sudo command I did it for remove the sound card did that too
[01:02] <MenZa> err
[01:02] <MenZa> I doubt it.
[01:02] <MenZa> just do this:
[01:02] <asodesign> good
[01:02] <ootput> do any of you experience the following quirk when using xgl? - My monitor typically displays a 1024x768 resolution, but with xgl enabled, only 800x600 (aligned with TopLeft of screen) is displayed, and as a result, a gap appears alongside the lower and left borders
[01:02] <MenZa> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[01:02] <asodesign> thank you for your time
[01:02] <MenZa> run that.
[01:02] <MenZa> Oh, no problems.
[01:02] <MenZa> Happy to help.
[01:02] <asodesign> thanks
[01:02] <nicu> comone somoane from roumania>??? haide ma caut un roma sa stiu ce naiba vorbeste :)
[01:02] <RogerRabb> ootput xgl requires 24bit only.. is it possible you're using less than 24bit at 1024x768?
[01:03] <ootput> RogerRabb: yeah, I later saw that it was a requirement, but it appears my xorg.conf was set up fine
[01:03] <ootput> ie defaultdepth is at 24
[01:03] <RogerRabb> what graphics card?
[01:04] <ootput> RogerRabb: nvidia 6800GT OC (from BFG). I've setup dual-head, xinerama, and twinview fine
[01:04] <bobby123> any one here??
[01:04] <bobby123> need help
[01:05] <bobby123> :(
[01:05] <RogerRabb> k, umm not sure about xinerama and xgl..
[01:05] <bobby123> !opengl
[01:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:05] <ootput> why of course
[01:05] <RMorris84> !anyone > bobby123
[01:05] <bobby123> my opengl doesnot work!!
[01:05] <bobby123> wht shud i do??
[01:05] <ootput> RogerRabb: I'm trying this out on dual-head for the time being, as twinview/xinerama will complicate things further, i feel
[01:05] <Ag4Ms> iwant to install ubuntu 6.06 LTS on my laptop with spec my laptop is Toshiba Satelite A55 Intel Celereon M 1.34 Mhz with HDD 60 GB and maybe very2 importan is Wireless lAN NIC Atheros AR5005G, what the NIC is have support Ubuntu 6.06 LTS..????
[01:05] <bobby123> !open
[01:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about open - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:05] <bobby123> !latest
[01:05] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[01:05] <ootput> bobby123: clarify the question
[01:05] <knapper> why can I launch a certain program from terminal, but when I make a launcher, it wont launch...?
[01:06] <RogerRabb> ootput you could ask in #ubuntu-xgl since it's more suited to that room
[01:06] <RMorris84> Ag4Ms: have u tried the live cd? might "just work"
[01:06] <RogerRabb> or keep the compiz forums... compiz.net
[01:06] <flofroth> hi
[01:06] <ootput> RogerRabb: yep, i've paid that populated channel a visit earlier today
[01:06] <no0tic> hi, I need to install kubuntu on 10 machines, is there a fast way to do it?
[01:06] <MenZa> no0tic: umm, burn 10 cds and install them similtaneously :D?
[01:06] <ootput> RogerRabb: it's okay. Xgl isn't really a show-stopper for me
[01:06] <MenZa> Installation of Ubuntu is quick and painless.
[01:06] <MenZa> Shouldn't take more than... 15 minutes for each machine.
[01:06] <Ag4Ms> RMorris84: i have can try but is not work
[01:07] <JackONeill> Can anyone help me with usplash!?
[01:07] <MenZa> !anyone
[01:07] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:07] <mabus> I'm trying to make a soft link in a public folder to a folder inside my home directory (/home/mabus/doc/library), but users can't follow that link. /home/mabus is not readable by the users, but the permissions of the library folder say they should. Same with the soft link. Can anyone tell me why they can't?
[01:07] <flofroth> haha
[01:07] <RogerRabb> ootput, you're using the binary nvidia driver correct?
[01:07] <ootput> yes
[01:07] <no0tic> MenZa, I know, but.. something to replicate the same installation on n machines could be useful
[01:07] <flofroth> hihi
[01:07] <oholmback> gaah
[01:07] <flofroth> hoho
[01:07] <bobby123> ootput, wine doesnt work i=on my comp
[01:07] <RMorris84> Ag4Ms: then u prollly just need to apply the drivers from windows with ndiswrapper, do a search for it on google then it should "just work"
[01:07] <MenZa> no0tic: a clean install on each machine should do the same :p
[01:07] <RogerRabb> it may be some xorg quirk.. because it works perfectly here.. not with dual head mind you.. I just use one display - haven't tried multiple
[01:07] <bobby123> some prob about opengl
[01:08] <ootput> RogerRabb: I've only seen one instance of a similar problem on the forums (xgl + xubuntu,) but it remains unresolved
[01:08] <JosefK> no0tic: if the machines are identically specced, you could image it then image the machines across a LAN
[01:08] <bobby123> glxgears give driver claims to not support cisual
[01:08] <bobby123> glxgears gives driver claims to not support visual
[01:08] <bobby123> :(
[01:08] <no0tic> JosefK, dd?
[01:08] <RMorris84> no0tic: u could clone urself in some type of cloning machine, just make sure u bring the ubuntu cd with in there ;)
[01:08] <bobby123> anyone help!!
[01:09] <MenZa> RMorris84: :D
[01:09] <ootput> RogerRabb: thanks for your time. I shouldn't pursue this any further as it's cutting into my work schedule :)
[01:09] <no0tic> RMorris84, thanks for the useful hint
[01:09] <JosefK> no0tic: I was thinking ghost, but even a tarball could work if you fancy chrooting afterwards and installing GRUB
[01:09] <Ag4Ms> RMorris84: ok thanks lot...i can try ,..:)
[01:09] <elmargol> Hi I have two soundcards, one is connected to my headset (Audigy) the second is an onboard soundcard. The onboard soundcard is connected to my soundsystem. I can't choose my onboard soundcard on amarok :/ on dapper everything worked fine :(
[01:09] <elmargol> (I'm on edgy now)
[01:10] <ootput> elmargol: do you have a custom .asoundrc, or something similar?
[01:10] <RMorris84> no0tic: but its prolly just easier to do it one by one, its not painfull
[01:10] <RogerRabb> ootput ah, sorry I couldn't help.. the guys at compiz.net really do know their stuff. So it's worthwhile posting a quick message with the problem then checking back in some time. Eg put your xorg.conf and the guide you followed to install xgl/compiz and away you go :)
[01:10] <elmargol> ootput: no it is a fresh edgy installation
[01:10] <elmargol> I can use the onboard soundcard (xmms)
[01:10] <ootput> elmargol: which engine is amarok using?
[01:10] <RMorris84> ootput: u should try the #ubuntu-xgl room
[01:11] <elmargol> ootput: oss
[01:11] <ootput> RMorris84: yeah, the 2-3 guys there aren't in the same timezone as I :)
[01:11] <JosefK> no0tic: http://ftp.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/installer-i386/current/doc/manual/en/ch04s06.html
[01:11] <ootput> ah whoops, xgl-ubuntu
[01:11] <JosefK> no0tic: I can't find one for dapper/edgy, but the principle's the same
[01:11] <goki-> Should "mount" show the swap partition among the mounts it returns?
[01:11] <bobby123> glxgears gives driver claims to not support visual? debian started the app without any prob/ what should i do?
[01:12] <bobby123> glxgears un ubuntu(64bit) gives driver claims to not support visual? debian(32bit) started the app without any prob/ what should i do?
[01:12] <ootput> goki-: no
[01:12] <no0tic> JosefK, thanks
[01:13] <bobby123> :(
[01:13] <asodesign> mate it doesnt work to write sudo /et/init.d/gdm start
[01:14] <Sarek> hi
[01:14] <JosefK> asodesign: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:14] <ootput> elmargol: I'm not sure if oss supports it (as opposed to alsa,) but can you specify hw:1, or hw:0 for the output device?
[01:14] <compilerwriter> Sarek, Peace and long life.
[01:14] <goki-> ootput, how can I tell whethre I have swap enabled?
[01:14] <iXce> mount?
[01:15] <RMorris84> Sarek: bumble-bee tuna.
[01:15] <elmargol> ootput: there is a list two devices there /dev/dsp an /dev/sound
[01:15] <ootput> goki-: top
[01:15] <goki-> iXce, that's what I tried, but ootput says it shouldn't show swap?
[01:15] <iXce> hm sry i'm wrong :p
[01:15] <JosefK> goki-: cat /etc/mtab
[01:15] <bobby123> ootput. see the mounted drives in gnome-monitor
[01:15] <elmargol> thats how i did it on dapper
[01:15] <bobby123> goki,  see the mounted drives in gnome-monitor
[01:15] <ootput> goki-: top will give you swap usage
[01:15] <Sarek> can anyone tell me what is special about the linux-image-server package? The description says for server equipment". Where's the difference betwenn -server and -386 or -686. I run a PIII as server ... should I use the -server image or rather the -686 image?
[01:16] <goki-> ootput, which column is that?
[01:16] <elmargol> ootput: i think the problem is i don't have /dev/sound/dsp
[01:16] <ootput> JosefK: mount and /etc/mtab display similar results.
[01:16] <JosefK> Sarek: linux-image-686 would suffice
[01:16] <kyja> has anybody used dosemu and freedos ?? I have a problem. it wont fully start up becuase it says I need to configure keyboard with $_layout keyboard
[01:16] <Sarek> JosefK, so -server is for any special server hardware?
[01:16] <ootput> goki-: 5th row, 4th column
[01:17] <DBO> free -m is easier to use
[01:17] <bobby123> glxgears un ubuntu(64bit) gives driver claims to not support visual? debian(32bit) started the app without any prob/ what should i do?
[01:17] <DBO> last row
[01:17] <goki-> DBO, ah yeah, thanks
[01:17] <JosefK> Sarek: it's compiled with some different options, a scheduler more suited to desktop systems and probably without pre-emption, but if you're running apache/mysql at home you won't notice a difference
[01:17] <goki-> Swap: 549
[01:17] <ootput> DBO: too many extra keystrokes
[01:17] <JosefK> s/desktop/server/
[01:17] <ootput> ;)
[01:18] <DBO> ootput, thats what .bashrc is for, so i can just type mem
[01:18] <elmargol> ootput: thx i switched to alsa and set hw:1 :D it works now
[01:18] <ootput> elmargol: cool.
[01:19] <Sarek> JosefK, ah ic - thanks
[01:19] <kanzie> I try to repartionate my disk to expand my swap, it is not as large as my RAM so I can not suspend
[01:20] <goki-> I was looking through the 34 pages of people with random lockups on dapper, and I thought I might be one of the people with mysteriously disabled swap
[01:20] <kanzie> I installed gparted
[01:20] <ootput> goki-: i've actually set swappiness to 0
[01:21] <asodesign> mate I wrote what you said sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:21] <asodesign> but it said command not found
[01:22] <MMD> any way of "apt-get install build-essential" without having to have the CD in?

[01:23] <jrib> MMD: yes, enable the online repositories and comment the cd repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:23] <ootput> MMD: comment out the CD entries in sources.list

[01:30] <ootput> mabus: or something web-related?
[01:30] <asodesign> what do you mean by pastebin?

[01:30] <jrib> !pastebin > asodesign
[01:31] <ootput> RogerRabb: there are (way too) many markups for wikis. It varies by engine
[01:31] <RogerRabb> ah :(
[01:31] <RogerRabb> that's super frustrating
[01:31] <ootput> RogerRabb: yeah
[01:32] <ootput> RogerRabb: you could try printing the wiki entry to a virtual printer (pdf), and converting it from there
[01:33] <RogerRabb> I'm trying to decide between latex and docbook for my documentation/article format for my articles/posts etc.. Trying to see which one will give me the highest range of flexibility for the least amount of work. latex seems easier to work with
[01:34] <Nilvio> what is good firewall in linux ???
[01:34] <ootput> RogerRabb: i'd go with latex
[01:35] <PhilH> RogerRabb, i'm go with whichever easily produces quality output in the other

[01:38] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[01:39] <Garsty> so it isn't supposed to show the graphical boot-up screen?
[01:39] <Overand> Garsty: it probably is, but you're in the wrong channel to ask
[01:39] <Garsty> sorry :/
[01:39] <mwe> Nilvio: sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter start. then gksudo firestarter to configure. on future boots it will autostart so then you don't need the init.d stuff
[01:39] <JackONeill> Should I be using /etc/rc.local for startup things?
[01:39] <Overand> You 'upgraded' to an unfinished product
[01:40] <Garsty> I had a reason to do that :P
[01:40] <Overand> Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't.
[01:40] <Overand> ANywya, ubuntu+1 is edgy support
[01:40] <Toma-> !schedule
[01:40] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[01:40] <Douggie> Can apt be set to download a packages dependencies automatically? trying to install libsdl-dev but getting a heap of umet libraries..
[01:41] <Nameeater> it should do that automatically
[01:41] <jrib> Douggie: pastebin the output and your sources.list
[01:41] <mwe> JackONeill: /etc/rc.local is a good place to start you local stuff
[01:42] <Douggie> I just get a list of packages with Depends: xxx but it is not going to be installed from apt...?
[01:42] <fab31> is there a good pdf reader ? (not evince)
[01:42] <mwe> Douggie: broken sources.list probably, or you didn't sudo apt-get update
[01:43] <jrib> fab31: xpdf?
[01:43] <fab31> not needing KDE libs
[01:43] <fab31> jrib: oh, maybe, I know recent versions are quite good with alpha etc... let's try
[01:43] <Douggie> I'll have a look at the sources list again, cheers
[01:43] <fab31> jrib: it's not antialiased :(
[01:44] <light_> hey, i have problem loading my xserver after kernel an nvidia drivers updates
[01:44] <light_> and*
[01:44] <jrib> fab31: the only other one I know of is acroread, but I haven't tried it on linux
[01:45] <light_> reconfigure of xserver didn't help me
[01:45] <fab31> jrib: erg, it's as big as kpdf + KDE libs ! :(
[01:46] <jrib> haha

[01:48] <b_52Centos> someone is using zenoss ? plz
[01:48] <SillyZ> is there anything else thatll work with the webcam? like record locally on the machine its connected to or just snap a pic ?
[01:49] <MenZa> visitante01: Never been there. Please put random chatter and offtopic conversations in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[01:49] <visitante01> yeah
[01:49] <visitante01> Im the on brazil
[01:50] <MenZa> visitante01: ask there.
[01:50] <visitante01> yeah
[01:51] <codecaine> is there a program that I can use to control my xsession from another computer better then vnc?
[01:51] <visitante01> do liked of to go for brazil?
[01:51] <SillyZ> anyone know of an application under ubuntu other than AMsn that will work with a webcam?
[01:51] <kanzie> how do I change the size of a fat32-disc?
[01:52] <visitante01> hello
[01:52] <Shinaku> kanzie, gparted
[01:52] <elkbuntu> visitante01, you've been asked to take idle chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic, please do so
[01:52] <visitante01> do you are where
[01:53] <MenZa> >.>
[01:53] <pennypacker> try it again
[01:53] <SillyZ> why do i see a kick/ban coming here.... hehehe
[01:53] <jrib> visitante01: este canal e so para ajuda com ubuntu.  Para falar sobre outras coisas, podes usar #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:54] <MenZa> jrib: Cheers.
[01:55] <kanzie> Shinaku: Should I try some other app for resizing
[01:55] <kanzie> ?
[01:55] <SillyZ> Im just looking for an application that will work with a webcam, I dont care if its an online or offline application I just want to test and see if the webcam is working with the pwc module
[01:55] <Shinaku> kanzie, when ubuntu is installing, that little GUI partitioner is gparted
[01:55] <Shinaku> I don't think it actually installs it though
[01:56] <Shinaku> ah yes
[01:56] <Shinaku> just do:
[01:56] <Shinaku> sudo apt-get install gparted
[01:56] <alberello2005> hello room!
[01:56] <Shinaku> you'll then need to do:
[01:56] <Shinaku> sudo gparted
[01:57] <kanzie> Shinaku: That is already taken care of, Im in the application and cant resize the existing windows partition though it has free space
[01:57] <qgil>  I want to report a bug about that special key/button of the laptop to turn on /shut off the computer - does anybody know to which package belongs this?
[01:58] <Shinaku> kanzie, and it's fat32?
[01:58] <Shinaku> it shouldn't be a problem
[01:58] <SillyZ> whats a good startup file to add hdparm -c 1 -d 1   to?
[01:58] <Shinaku> make sure you've defragmented the drive in windows before hand
[01:58] <Shinaku> gparted has always worked for me
[01:58] <mwe> gparted should be able to resize ntfs I think
[01:58] <Shinaku> yes, gparted does resize NTFS
[01:59] <SillyZ> kanzie: what id do is move all the data off that fat32 drive, recreate the partition to the size you want/need, then move the data back over once its been reformatted
[01:59] <Shinaku> that'll work too, but then he'd need to reinstall windows
[01:59] <mwe> SillyZ: /etc/hdparm.conf
[01:59] <Shinaku> which has a tendency to install it's  bootloader over GRUB
[01:59] <SillyZ> mwe: thanks
[02:00] <Shinaku> so he'd need to use wingrub or something...
[02:00] <Shinaku> anyway, I'm going to reboot
[02:00] <SillyZ> kanzie: you have partition magic for windows?
[02:01] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know how to install ardour with jack and all dependencies in ubuntu
[02:03] <Paddy_EIRE> stop quiting !
[02:03] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[02:03] <Douggie> I've updated my local sources with the unbuntu.com main universe and done a apt-get update but I'm still getting a load of unmet dependencies with the message 'Depends: xxx but it is not going to be installed' with libsdl1.2-dev
[02:04] <CromagDK> anyone knows a ftp app with some of the features of FlashFXP ? heheh i cant register flashFXP in wine now hehe kinda fun heh :P

[02:09] <chibiace> yeah apt-cache search is very nice
[02:09] <chibiace> finds too many things sometimes though
[02:09] <Paddy_EIRE> how do i configure jack to run!!!
[02:10] <m0dY> a dump question! i wonder why does apt-get install already compiled stuff on the system either than getting the sources and do the compilation process on my machine
[02:11] <Douggie> Any help would be much appreciated :: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23511
[02:11] <kanzie> SillyZ: Ah...what a great idea... Ill try to find PQ.
[02:12] <SillyZ> kanzie: PQ under windows would probably be the best way to go from what I understand this is the drive which you have winhosed installed upon?
[02:12] <chibiace> m0dY, compiling is slow
[02:12] <SillyZ> kanzie: you can pmsg me if ya like to discuss this further to save on channel spam
[02:12] <Paddy_EIRE> Anyone know what "jack" is and how i get it running? Im trying to run "ardour" and using Dapper
[02:12] <jrib> Douggie: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev   <-- still the same thing after this?

[02:13] <Chousuke> Paddy_EIRE: Isn't ardour an audio thing?
[02:14] <Paddy_EIRE> yep
[02:14] <Chousuke> Paddy_EIRE: It may well need jackd then

 how to configure without jack when the app wont start without it running
[02:17] <Chousuke> Paddy_EIRE: Well, I don't know
and why would i need/ or not need it running

[02:17] <Paddy_EIRE> what is ti
[02:17] <Paddy_EIRE> *it
[02:17] <Chousuke> Paddy_EIRE: read the documentation
[02:17] <SillyZ> brb
[02:18] <Paddy_EIRE> where is that at?? man jackd ??

[02:18] <Paddy_EIRE> is there no better way to view these manuals...perhaps with screenshots and the like...much like a normal manual
[02:19] <phaedrus44> doooood   is ther a separate channel for ubuntu-server?
[02:19] <Chousuke> Paddy_EIRE: there are manpage readers for gnome and kde :P
now where would I get those?
[02:19] <Douggie> jrib: Doesn't seem to have attempted to install, however to throw some failed to fetch errors on the update in relation to the new sources and Sources.gz (404 error)

no manuals for either "jackd" or "ardour" any ideas
[02:22] <Chousuke> Paddy_EIRE: google
[02:22] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah
[02:23] <Chousuke> no man pages sounds pretty weird though
[02:23] <Chousuke> I'm sure jackd has a man page
[02:23] <Chousuke> Ardour too, probably
[02:25] <mof> "unmount" has no man page is that normal?
[02:25] <jrib> mof: try umount

[02:33] <jrib> Douggie: it is most likely an issue with your repository setup

[02:34] <codecaine> thanks
[02:34] <Healot> compilerwriter: ekiga maybe?
[02:34] <jrib> Douggie: the update now goes through without error, and you still have the same error?
[02:34] <chibiace> ekiga has a windows client
[02:34] <Healot> it's installed
[02:34] <compilerwriter> no windows ekiga healot.
[02:34] <Douggie> jrib: Yes
[02:34] <jrib> Douggie: what does 'sudo apt-get install libesd0-dev' say?
[02:34] <voici> Chousuke: yes dpkg-reconfigure locales used to work on debian. i was able to choose the locales i wanted to install. but on ubuntu-server there is no way to choose locales. it just regenerates them and quits
[02:34] <voici> where are they configured?
[02:35] <Healot> compilerwriter: you;re asking for a Windows program?
[02:35] <chibiace> oh its saying no files yet :(
[02:35] <compilerwriter> I have ekiga, healot, I am trying to find a free server for a windows softophone program I have found for my friend.  Also reccomendations on the a good softphone if you know it.
[02:35] <codecaine> how can you see if its just read or it has read and write privledges?
[02:36] <Douggie> jrib: Depends: libaudiofile-dev but it is not going to be installed'
[02:36] <compilerwriter> healot, We have tried skype but the voice quality on his end has sucked.  I am thinking it is because skype doesn't play well with Ubuntu.
[02:36] <chibiace> which version of skype were you running on ubuntu
[02:36] <Healot> compilerwriter: this face doesn't care :=| it's skype btw
[02:37] <jrib> Douggie: keep trying to install what it says until it gives you something meaningfull
[02:37] <bionoid> compilerwriter: Skype voice quality in general is suboptimal, using asterisk and a VOIP service is much better on that regard. That said, skype quality is no worse on my ubuntu than my windows.
[02:38] <lewix> i want my screensaver to change like every 20s
[02:38] <lewix> how can i do that?
[02:38] <compilerwriter> Chibiace, I was running the latest one from the skype site a few weeks back.  I is supposed to be Debian friendly with a few hangups.
[02:38] <Neo8750> load xscreensaver
[02:38] <Neo8750> and change it to change every 20 minutes
[02:39] <chibiace> compilerwriter: perhaps your soundcard?
[02:39] <compilerwriter> I am in the US and my friend is in Australia.  He says he has no problem with the quality in Windows to Windows Skype on similar calls.
[02:39] <lewix> i type xscreensaver but nothins is coming up
[02:39] <compilerwriter> Soundblaster live.
[02:39] <chibiace> i find skype fine on both my gentoo and ubuntu
[02:39] <Chousuke> voici: hmm, I think you need to force it to ask them
[02:40] <Chousuke> voici: there is some option to do that, but I can't remember which
[02:40] <jrib> Douggie: I need to reboot now, another thing you could try is passing -v to apt-get and see if it gives you more info.  Eventually you usually get to the root of the problem
[02:40] <Caplain> do i have to do something to get sata dma support?
[02:40] <Neo8750> lewix: sorry its xscreensaver-command -prefs
[02:41] <Alessandra````> wich is the difference between desktop power PC and desktop ?
[02:41] <compilerwriter> Well I have to run thanks for the input.  Perhaps we will be able to figure it out later.
[02:41] <Alessandra````> what should i download
[02:42] <Chousuke> voici: dpkg-reconfigure -p low locales
[02:42] <Chousuke> or maybe -plow :P
[02:42] <Alessandra````> can someone help me pls
[02:43] <foxiness> sure if we know how to help :)

[02:44] <lewix> Neo8750, thanks but it doenst work tough when i lock my screen
[02:44] <Alessandra````> betwen desktoppower and desktop
[02:44] <mof> Alessandra: power pc is for computer that use the PowerPC processor, probably the best way to decide is to find out where you got you computer?
[02:44] <Neo8750> lewix: odd mine does
[02:44] <Alessandra````> a ok
[02:44] <Alessandra````> so 4my is desktopi386
[02:44] <Alessandra````> and i have another question pls
[02:45] <Alessandra````> i have a coputer p2 300mhz with 64 ram
[02:45] <mof> then don't install the powerpc if the i386 package is installed.
[02:45] <Alessandra````> wath u think it will work on my computer
[02:45] <foxiness> hi , on ubuntu the system can not read anything from my keybord "acer laptop aspire 2000" , and this is the first time than it happen with me ! , how can i fix that ?
[02:45] <Douggie> The problem with apt only begun after I installed codeblocks, which would account for the message persisting about a missing depency (libpango) in addition to whatever I'am attempting to install. However attempting to install libpango1.0-0 I encounter the same problem, will not install any of the files depenedencies.
[02:46] <Alessandra````> so... u think that it will work on my computer
[02:46] <Alessandra````> ?

[02:51] <seshomaru> hi, I have 2 machines ,one running Ubuntu , on erunning XP. I want to switch the motherboard between them. Will I need to reinstall Ubuntu?
[02:52] <terlmann> yes
[02:52] <foxiness> how can i fix problme wiht my keybord ,its act like it dont read my input "can not enterpassword,tab tab,wirte somehting on CLI,or swtich to terminal" how can i fix that? i dont know what happen it work on the past will.
[02:52] <motin> Please do NOT mistake me for a simple spy when I ask this question: I am looking for a way to log all my activities at the computer. idleness, keystrokes, mouseclicks, which windows are in focus etc - i am senile when trying to remember what I did the last hour. need the extra logging for tracking time when I am working on projects - does anyone here have a good tip for an app?
[02:53] <seshomaru> terlman, is that a yest to my question?
[02:53] <seshomaru> terlmann, is that a yes to my question?
[02:53] <terlmann> yes, I think it has to recompile the kernel in order to virtualize the hardware....
[02:54] <seshomaru> terlmann, thanks, i suppose i will have to reinstall XP as well then....
[02:54] <Douggie> jrib: Nothing will install and uninstall with apt, is there any way I can 'check' the integrity of apt itself, something has obviously messed with a configuration file or the like...might just be easier to reinstall
[02:54] <lupine_85> seshomaru: probably *not*
[02:54] <lupine_85> the Linux kernel included with Ubuntu is generic - it's got drivers for most common hardware included
[02:55] <lupine_85> so if you haven't rolled your own, chances are it'll work with the new hardware
[02:55] <lupine_85> XP is a different matter ;)
[02:55] <jrib> Douggie: I noticed, that there was a problems witht he codeblocks install.  It may be complaining about that until you resolve it
[02:55] <foxiness> is there a funcution on a laptop can locked the keybord?
[02:55] <seshomaru> lupine_85,  the XP pc is actually a dualboot (XP/Ubuntu) so that probably means its hardware is supported by Linux
[02:56] <[L30N] > hi is there a way to display all the installed packages via apt?
[02:56] <lupine_85> seshomaru: should work fine then.
[02:56] <lupine_85> Just make sure that the name linux gives to the hard drive doesn't change
[02:56] <terlmann> I is supported but:!
[02:56] <hilmi> i have a problem gnome sound system
[02:56] <terlmann> It*
[02:56] <lupine_85> e.g. if it's hda in the first PC, make sure it stays hda in the second PC
[02:56] <seshomaru> lupine_85, how do I make sure of that?
[02:57] <foxiness> [L30N]  yes use synaptic :)
[02:57] <jake1> :-\
[02:57] <terlmann> the hardware must be configed and drivers/modules installed,so reinstall ubuntu!
[02:57] <lupine_85> Just plug the cables in properly - make sure that if it's plugged into IDE0, that is stays plugged into IDE0 in the new machine
[02:57] <[L30N] > can't no x-windows
[02:57] <jake1> i'm trying to find a GPS driver for Linux
[02:57] <lupine_85> terlmann: not the case
[02:57] <lupine_85> seriously!
[02:57] <jrib> [L30N] : aptitude search '~i' , or you can just use    dpkg -l
[02:57] <andrew_> GPS? kismet?
[02:58] <seshomaru> lupine_85, if i understand you correctly then when I switch the motherboard on my Ubuntu machine (with the XP/Ubuntu motherborad) than it will just boot normally - i will see no difference. right?
[02:58] <[L30N] > ok thanks jrib
[02:58] <jake1> i have in my hand a USGlobalSat BU353 that would be nice to have running under Ubuntu
[02:58] <lupine_85> Everyone on Ubuntu, who hasn't customised it, uses exactly the same motherboard
[02:58] <[Kork] > hi. which application to use for unpacking .rars?
[02:58] <flithm> hey everyone... anyone know if there are packages out there for enlightenment 16.8.x?  when I do apt-get install enlightenment it just installs the really ancient 16.7 version
[02:58] <lupine_85> erm, kernel :)
[02:58] <lupine_85> seshomaru: that's correct
[02:58] <lupine_85> Linux is smart - it autodetects and loads every boot
[02:58] <seshomaru> I understand
[02:59] <foxiness> [Kork]  just install rar lib then use what come with ubuntu arc
[02:59] <seshomaru> and windows doesnt?
[02:59] <terlmann> are you just a total n))b lupine? yea,exept when you havant got it on the machine!
[02:59] <lupine_85> terimann: every Ubuntu user - with widely varying hardware - uses exactly the same hardware
[02:59] <lupine_85> I'm no n00b, but j00 sux0rz
[02:59] <lupine_85> ;)
[03:00] <[Kork] > foxiness, which package would that be?
[03:00] <migla> I get "soft lockup detected on CPU#0!" on edgy (Linux version 2.6.17-6-amd64-generic (gcc version 4.1.2 20060715 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-9ubuntu1))) every time I want to shut down (and then I use the powerbutton). I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo P with AMD Sempron 3200+. Any thoughts/links? (I'm just playing around with linux, if I'd really need a working system I wouldn't use edgy)
[03:00] <lupine_85> Windows doesn't deal with it as smartly as Linux. It "might" work,. but I wouldn't guarantee it
[03:00] <foxiness> [Kork]  search for it on synaptic "rar" and you will find it :)
[03:00] <Healot> ask in #ubuntu+1 >> migla
[03:01] <mwright1> How do I boot to no xwindows in Hoary Hedgehog
[03:01] <migla> k, thanks
[03:01] <[Kork] > foxiness, no libs, just bins
[03:01] <seshomaru> lupine_85, thank you
[03:01] <mwright1> its set to init 2
[03:01] <Healot> discuss test version there
[03:01] <lupine_85> migla: there's a later kernel version that that. Try an update
[03:01] <lupine_85> np seshomaru
[03:01] <terlmann> yea... but the installed packdges dont provid instructions for dealing with diff hardware,especially if it is special stuff!
[03:01] <foxiness> [Kork]  what ever something to add support for rar on linux
[03:01] <Douggie> jrib: Very difficult to install the dependency it's looking for because once I download it, libpango1.0-common for example wont install because some totally unrelated dependency is unsatisfiable...how difficult is it to reinstall apt-get?
[03:01] <[Kork] > ok, thx
[03:01] <lupine_85> terimann: you're making no sense. If the kernel modules are present - which they almost certainly are - the kernel will load them automagically
[03:02] <lupine_85> when was the last time you tried it?
[03:02] <Healot> !info unrar-free

[03:02] <mwright1> Hi,does nayone know how I do the equivalent of init 3 in redhat
[03:02] <lupine_85> works better (assuming you're on x86)
[03:02] <migla> lupine, I've booted into that too. Same problem.
[03:02] <lupine_85> mwright1: runlevels 2-5 are identikit on Ubuntu
[03:02] <terlmann> mright1 go to a command console. if you use gnome type /etc/init.d/gdm stop ,replace gdm with kdm if you use kde.
[03:02] <mwright1> ok so what do  Ido
[03:02] <mwright1> to get equivalent
[03:03] <mwright1> I just want X windows not to start its crashing the system
[03:03] <mwright1> I can boot to single mode
[03:03] <jrib> Douggie: you shouldn't download and overwrite current versions, that usually causes trouble.  Can you remove codeblocks for now and see if you can resolve your other problems?
[03:03] <mwright1> I tried a Hoary to Dapper dist-upgrade -- was a disaster
[03:03] <lupine_85> assuming you don't want the GUI, you'd have to modify one of the runlevels to not load [g|k] dm, then "telinit [runlevel] "
[03:03] <terlmann> lupine: what if they are not present?
[03:03] <jake1> can someone assist me in getting my GPS working
[03:03] <lupine_85> mwright1: you should have upgraded to breezy before dapper ;)
[03:04] <mwright1> lupine: How do I get it to boot up without X windows now?
[03:04] <lupine_85> terimann: then the hardware wouldn't have been detected in a new install of Dapper either
[03:04] <lupine_85> sheesh
[03:04] <mwright1> I am hoping I can fix it
[03:04] <jake1> !GPS
[03:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about GPS - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:05] <mwright1> hey doesn't anyone know how to disable xwindows ,its like operating system 101
[03:05] <lupine_85> mwright1: ^ ^
[03:05] <terlmann> no it aint :( !!!!!
[03:05] <terlmann> breezy forever!
[03:05] <terlmann> dapper sucks!
[03:05] <mark4> hi all - quick question.  I've got ffmpeg compiled from source, and don't want apt-get to install over it.  so when something depends on ffmpeg I just want it to get installed without install ffmpeg, how can I do that?
[03:06] <mwright1> you can't get it to boot without xwindows?
[03:06] <lupine_85> mark4: dpkg --ignore-deps -i ?
[03:06] <foxiness> on ubuntu keyboard input not accepted after a reboot ?
[03:06] <terlmann> using instructions 3 months ago, i tried to install the deps to add wma,mp3 etc.... regiered libs were not in the depository!
[03:06] <jrib> mark4: did you install ffmpeg to /usr/local?
[03:06] <lupine_85> Or you could make an empty packge for ffmpeg and install that, I guess
[03:06] <mwright1> how can I fix this broken install nowwww without wiping the conteeents of the disk
[03:06] <mark4> jrib: yes
[03:06] <Douggie> jrib: Uninstalled codeblocks and now apt will install again....how weird
[03:06] <lupine_85> mwright1: with difficulty :(
[03:06] <jrib> mark4: it should take precedence over the ffmpeg that gets installed in /usr I think
[03:07] <mwright1> I have clues on solaris / fedora / RHEL
[03:07] <mark4> lupine_85, fine for installing individual packages, but then apt thinks i've got unresoloved dependencies when I go to do anything else
[03:07] <mwright1> first thing I need to know how to do is to disable X windows on bootup
[03:07] <lewix> Neo8750, it stil not working...thats weird
[03:07] <mwright1> I can do it by going single but I need networking
[03:07] <mwright1> how do I do this
[03:07] <lupine_85> mwright1: ^ solution up there ^
[03:07] <mwright1> sorry I'm running 16 colours and I missed it, it's a bit hard to scroll can you kindly repeat or PM
[03:07] <lewix> i can't manage to make the screensaver change by itself
[03:08] <lupine_85> ok... in /etc/rc2.d there is a symlink called either gdm or kdm
[03:08] <lupine_85> erm, S??gdm/S??kdm
[03:08] <mwright1> ok sochange the Sgdm to Kgdm
[03:08] <vanky> what's up
[03:08] <lupine_85> yep
[03:08] <mwright1> ok Iknow how to do that
[03:08] <mwright1> cheers I'll go give it a shot
[03:08] <vanky> hello

[03:11] <mwright1> I have mybroken dapper -- can I continue an install of that from the media
[03:11] <phaedrus44> im 30 years old....just started using tissues instead of my sleeve
[03:11] <lupine_85> mwright1: you can try to continue the dist-upgrade
[03:12] <lupine_85> whether you've got a working system afterwards is another question
[03:12] <seshomaru> Caplain, do you mean apt?
[03:12] <lupine_85> what you're doing is really unsupported :(
[03:12] <lupine_85> still, worth a try
[03:12] <mark4> jrib, it apears you're right. cheers, not the neatest solution (relying on PATH order) but It'll do!
[03:13] <seshomaru> Caplain, apt stores debs in /var/cache/apt/archives , if that helps
[03:13] <Caplain> seshomaru: yeah
[03:13] <Caplain> i found it
[03:13] <corsair_> can anyone tell me how to get direct rendereing enabled on dapper
[03:13] <Caplain> thanks
[03:13] <CromagDK> !info nautulis
[03:13] <ubotu> Package nautulis does not exist in any distro I know

[03:20] <lukus001> How is it you install 32bit apps in 64bit linux?
[03:20] <russ> can anyone help with usb wireless drivers....it's the only thing stopping me from installing ubuntu on some pc's at work....
[03:21] <lupine_85> russ: what chipset?
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> russ,  you are refering to a USB-wireless-networking?
[03:21] <redcard> russ: USB Wireless Devices?  GOod luck.
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> in a few Months we will be having USB-Wireless-USB things. :P
[03:21] <Karmst> is there a way to change the source.list on the installation cd for server 6.06?
it is simply because the rosegarden devs did not include an icon with their app for reasons known only to them??
[03:21] <Karmst> my install keeps hanging at 40% on the mirror
[03:21] <russ> actually it's a few different computers....is it different on all....???....
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  i got a large collection of XXX icons. :P
[03:22] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[03:22] <lupine_85> hehe, that's more difficult then ;)
[03:22] <redcard> russ: What USB Wireless devices are they?

[03:23] <lupine_85> that one you need ndiswrapper for, IIRC
[03:23] <Jaak_> how can i set ndiswrapper to auto dhcclient my connection?
[03:23] <lupine_85> works though
[03:23] <Karmst> can anyone see what I'm typing?
[03:23] <Jaak_> dhclient i mean
 what component is responsible for this and can it be re-installed in a simple way
[03:23] <redcard> russ: Well, there's your answer :)
[03:23] <mwright1> whats cool in edgy apart from oo 2.0.3
[03:24] <CromagDK> anyone knows a ftp client with features like saving ftp sites and ssl stuff :)
[03:24] <Jaak_> damm my whole question was messed up.... let me retry: How do i get wpa_supplicant to auto dhclient my connection?
[03:24] <lupine_85>  russ: my mistake. That one works out of the box
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  no clue there. i cant say that ive ever had an issue like that.
[03:24] <fyrestrtr> CromagDK: sudo apt-get install gftp
[03:24] <lupine_85> See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported :)
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  plus i tend to use kde, not gnome
[03:24] <nanbudh> could any body guide me on nfs?
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> !nfs
[03:24] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[03:24] <Karmst> I'm so glad you people ignore people who need help
[03:24] <CromagDK> fyrestrtr: i did that, i dont see where i can save my sites there.
[03:25] <CromagDK> might be blind tho
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> Karmst,  type slower.... :)
[03:25] <fyrestrtr> CromagDK: once you login to a site, add it as a bookmark
[03:25] <snarf> I installed kubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu because I wanted to try KDE, but it replaced all my bootup/shutdown logos and art. I like the Ubuntu stuff better, how can I get that back?
[03:25] <i4get> lol
[03:25] <CromagDK> ah
[03:25] <CromagDK> ok
 been happening from day one of dapper, and i have re-installed many times since and the prob still remains
[03:25] <Karmst> How do you change the source.list on the installation?
 kde, but why...lol
[03:25] <Karmst> it locks at 40%
[03:25] <lupine_85> mmmmmmmm kde
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  and you expected reinstalling to fix your not-reading-differnt-image-formats- correctly?
[03:25] <redcard> Hmm.. the Hardware page on h.u.c is unclear if the version 2 will work
[03:25] <foxiness> Keyboard input not accepted any more ,what i need to do now ?
[03:25] <russ> i see it in device manager, but not in my network settings....
[03:26] <Karmst> when I have it setup for network
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  because the more i used gnome.. the more i realized how brain-dead it was. :)
[03:26] <i4get> lol
[03:26] <i4get> yes it is
[03:26] <redcard> russ: If it's like the WUSB54G version one, the comments are to first remove islsm_usb and then remove and add back ndiswrapper
[03:26] <skunkworks> Hello - could some one look at a pastebin?
 whats the matter with gnome...i started with kde in mandrake and never really liked it...aint it a performance hog??
[03:27] <redcard> If it's like the WUSB54G v4, the driver is the rt2500
[03:27] <Karmst> no it's brain dead to make a OS that the repositories can't be located during install
[03:27] <foxiness> Keyboard input not accepted any more , what shoud i do now ? = this input form othe platform =
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> foxiness: Can you get to recovery mode...?
[03:27] <nanbudh> well i have this problem i add an entry to /etc/fstab file but the system does not mount the directories at boot time. if i give mount command from the terminal it mounts ok. i have checked and verified that fstab entry is ok. any ideas why this happens?
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  its missing all the features i used
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_EIRE,  and ive not noticed kde being a performacen hot.
[03:27] <Paddy_EIRE> oh, like what
[03:27] <DoubleT> hi all
[03:27] <russ> i am new at this....know where i can find a detailed walkthrough....???....
