[05:32] <norml_advocat2> pmratpoison yep i just saw that myself, but i still cant get 1.2.6
[05:32] <tyrone> joecurlee : I know the feeling.    When you connect it, the phone displays options to select "Phone Mode" or "File Transfer".  Selecting Transfer connects as a usb drive, but selecting Phone seems to generate no response on the laptop.  Anyone have ideas as to what's going on?
[05:32] <joecurlee> tyrone: that sucks... wish i could be of help there... i guess I'll try installing different drivers later after I've taken a break from this
[05:32] <joecurlee> tyrone: thanks for the help at least i know I'm not crazy now!
[05:33] <AnonCon> gota go guys, naked gf
[05:33] <pmratpoison> norml_advocat2: that probably means that 1.2.6 isn't in the repos... Correct me someone if I'm wrong! I guess you could install it from source if that's the case.
[05:33] <puxel> that just made the screen jump
[05:33] <bullgard4> What command line command will be called by clicking on the Gnome 'Force Quit Button' applet?
[05:33] <dygital> seracht, *Ohh*... in that case, check out Gnome Art http://art.gnome.org/
[05:33] <jumbers> I just went to play an MP3 file and now every type of file has a MIME type of "application/octet-stream". How can I fix this?
[05:33] <puxel> then set back to just where it was.
[05:33] <AnonCon> exit
[05:33] <tyrone> joecurlee : Don't worry, these guys are working pretty fast from the looks of it. Should be any time now.
[05:33] <ian_suntong> gdf
[05:33] <seracht> thanks dygital
[05:33] <seracht> will check those out
[05:33] <joecurlee> cool. later... hope you find the header file
[05:33] <s0ulstice_> puxel, hmm does it happen even when you log in?? like right away?
[05:33] <seracht> can you guys recommend any fonts
[05:34] <puxel> yeah.
[05:34] <reasons> its all about myraid pro
[05:34] <tanubis> bullgard4 likely it sends a kill command
[05:34] <urbushey> Any ideas as to why my amaroK would install without a "podcast" option?
[05:34] <puxel> i'm going to restart x. bbs.
[05:34] <s0ulstice_> k
[05:34] <puxel> thanks for the help s0ul
[05:34] <dygital> seracht, I use the MS Fonts Core pack... it carries over the default fonts in Windows
[05:34] <tyrone> joecurlee : Their sending out a lot of pathes lately, from what i can see
[05:34] <s0ulstice_> yw puxel
[05:34] <pmratpoison> seracht: download the fonts from medibuntu and then look for the ones you like
[05:34] <norml_advocat2> DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO ENABLE THE OPTIONS IN AUDACITY 1.3?
[05:34] <bullgard4> tanubis: Yes, but I should like to know it more exactly.
[05:35] <urbushey> wow this room is crazy how does anyone get anything done in here?
[05:35] <reasons> What options are you looking for? I haven't used audicity in a while.
[05:35] <sfears> nothing gets done in this room urbushey
[05:35] <norml_advocat2> urbushey just type alot
[05:35] <urbushey> haha
[05:35] <sfears> it's a conspiracy
[05:35] <s0ulstice_> dom_, Nothing looks too out of place in your output, you cant use the vista disk for any restore options???
[05:35] <sfears> it just gives the illusuion of being able to use linux
[05:35] <skypiloteee> mostly  ubotu ends up doing the talking
[05:36] <norml_advocat2> reasons i dont have any options
[05:36] <norml_advocat2> reasons i just want to cut clips from songs
[05:36] <urbushey> Well, i'll spam this then i guess:
[05:36] <dom_> s0ulstice_: no DVD or CD shipped with the system
[05:36] <urbushey> anyone know why my amaroK doesn't have a "podcast" tab?
[05:36] <tanubis> bullgard4 check "man pgrep" "man pkill"
[05:36] <dom_> i believe that's what the extra NTFS partition is for
[05:36] <urbushey> i cant find a plug-in or anything that would add podcast functionality
[05:36] <s0ulstice_> dom_, haha cheap bastards.. what did they do provide a ghost partition?
[05:36] <reasons> norml, like a song is 30 seconds long and you only want tine 10 to 20?
[05:36] <Schmao-Fmao> Hi there, how do I get a list of process id's that are started by a certain user? I've been using "top -b -n 1 | grep username" but that's a bit slow ...
[05:36] <s0ulstice_> dom_, yah m$ cheap bastards
[05:36] <tanubis> bullgard4 if you wanted to duplicate the kill window command from command line, you'd use pgrep to find the name of the process you want and pkill to terminate it
[05:37] <dom_> pretty much
[05:37] <puxel> hmm. didnt fix anything
[05:37] <reasons> schmao, use htop, it'll say what users are using what
[05:37] <dom_> s0ulstice_: i tried booting from it as well, it just gives a black screen
[05:37] <norml_advocat2> reasons that or a song is 5 min. long and i just want 10 secs
[05:37] <reasons> give me a bit and a man page :)
[05:37] <s0ulstice_> puxel, maybe tyr reinstalling emerald? I dunno if there is anything else it relies on to draw the title bars.. I just know I restart emerald to fix mine
[05:37] <dygital> well thanks for the help mohadib_  et al. Have a good night.
[05:38] <urbushey> oooh i just found an amarok channel
[05:38] <mohadib_> o/
[05:38] <urbushey> ill go bother them
[05:38] <s0ulstice_> dom_, Booting from the restore drive gives you just a black screen?
[05:38] <norml_advocat2> reasons whats a man page?
[05:38] <s0ulstice_> norml_advocat2, Manual
[05:38] <Schmao-Fmao> reasons, any programs that come standard that do the same thing? :) I'm only asking because I have 15 computers, and to use htop I'd have to install it on each one
[05:38] <puxel> will do.
[05:38] <puxel> thanks
[05:38] <dom_> s0ulstice_: yes. i can't figure this damned thing out :-/
[05:38] <tanubis> bullgard4 for example, if I wanted to kill my browser, I could pgrep firefox and then pkill <idnumber from pgrep> to terminate it
[05:39] <Dr_pSiE> hey guys hast anyone tried hardy beta yet on a 64 cpu?
[05:39] <s0ulstice_> dom_, that sucks...hmmm....dunno
[05:39] <norml_advocat2> whats a "bit"  some time, or something else thats a nerd code ;-)
[05:39] <s0ulstice_> Dr_pSiE, No I have gutsy on 64 though... working very smooth
[05:40] <reasons> Schmoa, not that I'm aware of, but htop is so small that even a dialup connection will get it in under a minute. It really is a must have as you can sort by cpu, mem, etc. as well as being colored.
[05:40] <Dr_pSiE> well since my last kernel update hardy isn't working as smooth as it was before
[05:40] <Schmao-Fmao> reasons, sweet :) I'll install it then
[05:40] <ckin2001> Schmao-Fmao, ps aux | grep "username" | awk '{ print $2 }'
[05:40] <tanubis> bullgard4 Also, you could use the command pstree -p to see a list of running processes laid out as an ascii diagram, and pskill id# to terminate
[05:40] <seracht> hey
[05:40] <s0ulstice_> Dr_pSiE, Hardy is +1 .. maybe try that channel?
[05:41] <Dr_pSiE> cheers
[05:41] <seracht> qouick question, now that I am using restricted drivers, how do I enable compwiz
[05:41] <seracht> compiz
[05:41] <tanubis> bullgard4 *pkill
[05:41] <Schmao-Fmao> ckin2001: Thanks :) I'll check out htop while I'm at it, too
[05:41] <soulburner> anyone used ushare in htere?
[05:41]  * s0ulstice_ announces the presence of our Lord Nickrud.. All hail the King!
[05:41] <reasons> compiz --replace
[05:41] <FX> Anyone alive?
[05:41] <tanubis> anyone know how to detect what a usb device is doing?
[05:42] <dom_> s0ulstice_: do you think it may be possible to copy the recovery partition to a DVD and boot off of it?
[05:42]  * nickrud eyes s0ulstice_ , and sidles off
[05:42] <norml_advocat2> I HAVE A GREAT QUESTION!!!  If I wanted to access a wireless internet account that required a password and didnt have a password how would I get the password?
[05:42] <FX> How do I get rid of the kubuntu load screen on start up and replace it.
[05:42] <nickrud> !usplash | FX
[05:42] <ubotu> FX: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[05:42] <cfedde> ask the account owner.
[05:42] <seracht> um
[05:42] <s0ulstice_> dom_, Hmm its worth a try for sure
[05:42] <reasons> To who was looking at audicity, I couldn't find it but these links might help: http://curriculum.union.edu/tips/audacity.php http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/tutorial_ed_beginner2.html
[05:42] <genii> norml_advocat2: What cfedde said.
[05:42] <bullgard4> tanubis: Your explanations are helpful, and I thank you for them. --  My outset was that a communication program prevented me from terminating my Epiphany. Even using the 'Force Quit Button' could not kill the remnants of Epiphany. Only using 'killall epiphany' killed the remnants. So I wonder what the 'Force Quit Button' really does.
[05:42] <seracht> so how do I check out compiz settings?
[05:42] <norml_advocat2> FX kcontrol
[05:43] <s0ulstice_> seracht, do you have the compizconfig-settings-manager package downloaded
[05:43] <reasons> grab the compizconfig from aptitude and then customize it by right clicking the desktop and going under the efects tab
[05:43] <norml_advocat2> genii but I dont want to ask for it.  I was thinkin somethin more ninjalike
[05:43] <dom_> s0ulstice_: right... so... how might i do that?
[05:43] <FX> thanks for the link
[05:44] <baegle> I'm trying to use the restricted driver manager to install fglrx and it seems to work, but after I config X and restart the manager shows that while fglrx is enabled, it's not in use. When I modprobe fglrx I get FATAL: Error running install command for fglrx. I have been googling ATI tutorial for literally weeks on end. What the hell do I have to do to get this working?
[05:44] <ckin2001> norml_advocat2, ninjas cannot ask for the path - they must find the way alone
[05:44] <seracht> hmm
[05:44] <genii> norml_advocat2: Thats exactly the reason you likely won't find an answer here for that.
[05:44] <s0ulstice_> dom_, That is a good question haha.. I don't know.. haven't worked with vista much
[05:44] <FX> I had kubuntu but instead of downloading the whole ubuntu cd to change over I just apt-got ubuntu-desktop and then removed everything kde. lol
[05:44] <norml_advocat2> im not a malicious person I just want free web access
[05:44] <dom_> s0ulstice_: not really a vista thing
[05:44] <tanubis> bullgard4 anytime.  I suppose if one was really curious, one could always find the source code and take a gander.  My guess would be that it looks for the process ID of the window you click, and kills that.  But if a parent process has hung, sometimes the child process that's displaying the window maybe doesn't work?  I could be way off though.
[05:45] <dom_> i have a disk partition, i want to make a bootable dvd copy of it
[05:45] <seracht> isn't there some application that works similar to apt-get
[05:45] <seracht> I forgot the name though lol
[05:45] <dA_ShArP> My DPKG is giving this error http://rafb.net/p/ZAdDGm59.html,
[05:45] <norml_advocat2> why are hackers so secretive?
[05:45] <reasons> aptitude
[05:45] <codyduncan> Someone have an answer?:  I accidentally removed Pidgin messenger from my system tray, now every time I close the buddy list, the messenger closes completely (as in, quits).  How do I put it back to how it was?
[05:45] <cfedde> norml_advocat2: there are plenty of open access points.  I think there's a national one called 'linksys'  Available in most american suburbs these days.
[05:45] <dA_ShArP> My DPKG is giving this error http://rafb.net/p/ZAdDGm59.html, the thing is I am unable to install apache2 or re isnatll or do nothing with apt-get
[05:45] <seracht> reasons: is that command line based?
[05:45] <dA_ShArP> how do I fix it?
[05:46] <norml_advocat2> isnt linksys a router brand?  and arent they sometimes encrypted?
[05:46] <genii> norml_advocat2: Do some homework :) Google is full of answers on queries like "aircrack-ng" "wep" "sniff"            and so on.
[05:46] <reasons> seracht, it can be with aptitude install pkg or it has a terminal gui type thing. I'm not too sure, I use arch.
[05:46] <bullgard4> tanubis: Last night I already tried to find the source code but was not successful. I will keep trying.
[05:46] <cfedde> norml_advocat2: you're kinda new at this arn't you?
[05:46] <norml_advocat2> genii i think your a hacker
[05:46] <norml_advocat2> cfedde i am
[05:46] <norml_advocat2> cfedde we all gotta start somewhere
[05:47] <norml_advocat2> does anybody want to be my hacker mentor
[05:47] <norml_advocat2> i can cook and do laundry
[05:47] <tanubis> bullgard4 good luck :)
[05:48] <seracht> also I noticed iwth pigwin, when I type the text shakes
[05:48] <seracht> anyone have that problem too?
[05:48] <genii> norml_advocat2: Even if someone wanted to help you, it's against the rules of this channel to advocate illegal activities
[05:48] <ckin2001> bullgard4, what source are you wanting?
[05:48] <norml_advocat2> genii it is not illegal to BE a hacker
[05:48] <genbuntu> hello
[05:48] <tanubis> ckin2001 source for the force kill window dohickey in ubuntu
[05:48] <dA_ShArP> My DPKG is giving this error http://rafb.net/p/ZAdDGm59.html, the thing is I am unable to install apache2 or re isnatll or do nothing with apt-get
[05:48] <s0ulstice_> dom_, find anything???
[05:49] <norml_advocat2> genii do you know of a more suitable channel for this type of discussion?
[05:49] <dom_> negative
[05:49] <genii> norml_advocat2: Semantics. Like I said before, Googling for stuff on aircrack-ng and so on will get you started
[05:49] <codyduncan> did anyone read my question, or am I just waiting here in vain?
[05:49] <Waffle> how can i sync my ipod with ubuntu?
[05:49] <unique> can somebody tell me why is that when i connect to my pureftpd to my ubuntu from my windowsxp..i type in my login&password and then when i try to access a subfolder it asks me for my login&password again?
[05:49] <unique> why is it asking me twice?
[05:49] <bullgard4> ckin2001: The source code of the Gnome 'Force Quit Button' applet.
[05:49] <norml_advocat2> genii thanks
[05:50]  * dA_ShArP has got some serious problem
[05:50] <reasons> da_sharp, that is a problem with your connection, possibly your soucres.list, not apt-get
[05:50] <ckin2001> bullgard4, force quit does a soft kill, not kill -9, looking for the code
[05:50] <jc> can someone explain firestarter to me - is it just a gui to edit iptables and if so do I have to keep it running all the time?
[05:50] <dA_ShArP> reasons: It is FINE!
[05:50] <genii> norml_advocat2: You may find some tips in the channel #aircrack-ng
[05:50] <nickrud> codyduncan: I don't use pidgin, but the preferences interface tab has a setting for showing the tray icon
[05:50] <reasons> Waffle, amarok, gtk-pod, rockbox, songbird
[05:50] <genbuntu> I've a logitech 4 button scroll mouse with tilting scroll wheel, how can I configure functions to extra buttons for e.g. close a firefox tab with scroll tilt ?
[05:50] <norml_advocat2> genii ooohhhh
[05:51] <norml_advocat2> genii good stuff
[05:51] <norml_advocat2> genii i knew you were a hacker
[05:51] <reasons> da_sharp, just because the internet is working doesn't mean apt-get will. I've had firefox work but not pacman
[05:51] <norml_advocat2> genii WERE right?
[05:51] <silas428> can anyone help me install a asus wl-167g usb WLAN adapter? I can't seem to compile it right
[05:51] <reasons> I mean, look at this. could not bind to address <IP_ADDRESS>:80
[05:51] <Waffle> reasons: i have amarok, how do i sync with it? i can play the songs from my ipod but how do i make it automatically sync with my ipod?
[05:51] <Gumby> hello all.  I am trying to run a program (nuvexport) but when I do it gives me an error that I believe has to do with the Term::Cap perl module. Ive tried to install it maually via cpan but I still get the error.  Can anyone tell me if a compatible perl module is available in gutsy, I cant seem to find one anywhere
[05:51] <reasons> That obviously isn't the address
[05:51] <genii> norml_advocat2: I'm not really some "hacker" but I've done my share of exploration :)
[05:51] <nickrud> genii: I'd say genii is a hacker, not a cracker (in this incarnation, anyway :)
[05:52] <reasons> Go to the devices tab with your ipod mounted
[05:52] <reasons> Pretty self-explanityr from there
[05:52] <bullgard4> ckin2001: My problem is to find out what that applet really does. Yesterday I used it to kill my Epiphany which was stuck but did not succeed. Only 'killall epiphany' succeeded.
[05:52] <dA_ShArP> reasons: Yes, but I am trying to STOP or START the apache.. but it is giving error like what you see DPKG gives
[05:52] <Waffle> k thanks
[05:52] <genii> nickrud: I think thats the nicest thing someone said to me this week :)
[05:52] <norml_advocat2> genii what the diff. between hacker and cracker?
[05:52] <s0ulstice_> nickrud, haha whats up dude... your not gonna ask me to a dual are you? haha
[05:52] <ckin2001> bullgard4, launchpad FAQ said that the applet does a soft kill, not a killall
[05:52]  * nickrud eyes s0ulstice_ , and sidles away ;)
[05:53] <genii> norml_advocat2: classical hackers are not malicious. Crackers are.
[05:53] <silas428> Are reverse-engineers considered crackers??
[05:53] <nickrud> s0ulstice_: :p
[05:53] <s0ulstice_> norml_advocat2, cracker cracks security passwords, reverse engineer software etc, a hacker just pushes hardware and software beyond its original intended limits
[05:53] <bullgard4> ckin2001: So I need to enquire more on 'soft kill' in order to find out?
[05:53] <silas428> I read some of their stuff, I think they like the word "crack"
[05:53] <dA_ShArP> reasons: and that's what DPKG is trying to do aswell, well the thing is I am upgrading my computer after like 30 days
[05:53] <genbuntu> so any ideas how to configure extra buttons of my mouse?
[05:54] <nickrud> !mouse | genbuntu

[05:54] <codyduncan> can someone help me with some stupid mistake I just made?  I accidentally removed Pidgin messenger from my system tray, now every time I close the buddy list, the messenger closes completely (as in, quits).  How do I put it back to how it was?
[05:54] <silas428> s0ulstice_:wouldn't cracking be something illegal? I know RCE isn't illegal if the source code was never used
[05:54] <ckin2001> bullgard4, soft kill is equivalent to typing "kill %pid" at command line, hard kill is "kill -9 %pid"
[05:54] <genbuntu> ah, *runs off to check that site*
[05:54] <silas428> !asus
[05:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about asus - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:54] <nickrud> codyduncan: check the peferences, on the interface tab: there's a setting to control the system tray icon
[05:54] <silas428> !167g
[05:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 167g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:55] <bullgard4>  ckin2001 And how does 'killall epiphany' fit into this picture?
[05:55] <s0ulstice_> silas428, i guess it depends on how you use the information, whos it is, etc, WHAT it is too
[05:55] <Waffle> reasons: ok, im stuck. i have all the artists in the list. what now?
[05:55] <norml_advocat2> I think that the hacking cracking community needs to stop cowering and realize that without them there would be no Ubuntu
[05:55] <phiqtion> when is the next version of ubuntu coming out?
[05:55] <nickrud> phiqtion: scheduled for april
[05:55] <norml_advocat2> Speak up Speak out UNITE
[05:55] <bullgard4> phiqtion: In April
[05:55] <phiqtion> thank you
[05:56] <jc> can anyone explain firestarter to me?
[05:56] <codyduncan> nickrud: that does not solve it
[05:56] <silas428> jc: its a gui for iptables, pretty much all i know
[05:56] <ckin2001> bullgard4, killall gets all instances of a process name, not just the one associated with 1 pid
[05:56] <reasons> Waffle, this would be a great time for me to use amarok, huh? :) When I did use it there should be a drop box for device manager, check through the settings if it's not there. Once you find it, and I know it exists, look for your monunted ipod in the list and say to use that device
[05:56] <nickrud> codyduncan: hm.
[05:57] <s0ulstice_> norml_advocat2, haah your funny
[05:57] <reasons> Waffle, if you already did that and I read you wrong, there should be a sync button in the top bar
[05:57] <jc> silas428, thanks, if thats the case then after I configure it does it need to be running?
[05:57] <bullgard4> ckin2001: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining.
[05:57] <nickrud> codyduncan: a silly question: you do still have the system tray.
[05:57] <ckin2001> bullgard4, gotta go, but i couldnt find the force kill @ svn.gnome.org - maybe you can
[05:57] <ckin2001> good luck and your welcome :D
[05:57] <codyduncan> nickrud: that may not be a silly question...
[05:58] <silas428> jc: Not sure, if you want to configure a firewall use fwbuilder of the one in the ubuntu repositories
[05:58] <Waffle> reasons: there's a "transfer" button, but its grayed out
[05:58] <silas428> jc: guarddog I think it's called
[05:58] <norml_advocat2> s0ulstice_ i am funny.  and a bit dramatic but somewhat serious.  why cant I meet a hacker?  I wanna be a hacker!
[05:58] <seracht> quck question, how can you make more workspaces?
[05:58] <codyduncan> nickrud: I don't see it on the "add to panel" list
[05:59] <computer_> how do i share my wireless it only seems to be picking up my wired connection. is it because im already using my wireless with ubuntu?
[05:59] <silas428> norml_advocat2: have you ever read ESR's "how to be a hacker"
[05:59] <nickrud> codyduncan: it's called the notification area (system tray is the old name, sorry)
[05:59] <computer_> i am running vista on vmware
[05:59] <jc> silas428, so guarddog and firestarter do different things?
[05:59] <silas428> jc: guarddog is to setup a firewall, firestarter is a GUI for the iptables on Ubuntu
[05:59] <s0ulstice_> norml_advocat2, You know how to read right?
[05:59] <codyduncan> jackpot
[05:59] <reasons> That would mean the ipod isn't mounted and if it is, amarok isn't noticing. When you first started amarok with your ipod mounted it should have asked to use it. What we need to do is find that setting.
[06:00] <codyduncan> nickrud: well done, thanks mate
[06:00] <s0ulstice_> norml_advocat2, do a google search for backtrack3 and download it
[06:00] <nickrud> codyduncan: you're welcome
[06:00] <silas428> jc: from what I seen from firestarter, it shows the activity on your network and lets you block ports
[06:00] <norml_advocat2> s0ulstice who is ESR?
[06:00] <cfedde> eric s raymond
[06:00]  * nickrud boggles at the thought that someone wants to be a hacker, and doesn't know who esr is
[06:00] <jc> silas428, ok so I guess i'm confused, I thought iptables was the firewall in ubuntu
[06:00] <silas428> norml_advocat2: he co-founded the Open Source Initiative
[06:01] <tanubis> bullgard4 the command it's calling is xkill
[06:01] <genbuntu> Would anyone know How do I start Pidgin minimized ?
[06:01] <norml_advocat2> silas428 well thankyou for clearing that up smartypants
[06:01] <silas428> jc: I'm not an expert so don't quote me, but I think they are two different things, not 100% on this
[06:01] <reasons> Waffle, also, do you have libgpod installed
[06:01] <tanubis> bullgard4 if you type that in and hit enter, you basically get the exact same thing as what the force kill does
[06:01] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: there's even a virtual eric s raymond in your repos, install vrms ;)
[06:01] <silas428> norml_advocat2: google ESR and check out his homepage
[06:01] <jc> silas428, k thanks
[06:01] <brdoco> is there more to sharing a printer than just Global Settings -> Share Printers?
[06:01] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: they are interchangeable in some senses
[06:02] <norml_advocat2> nickrud you lost me
[06:02] <norml_advocat2> nickrud what is a repos
[06:02] <Waffle> reasons, i think i figured it out. i had to configure amarok for a music folder then right click on all my music and hit copy to collection
[06:02] <victor__> olis
[06:02] <victor__> ?
[06:02] <reasons> Waffle, this might do it too. In Amarok go to settings and set it to autodetect devices
[06:02] <seracht> guys with pigwin
[06:02] <s0ulstice_> norml_advocat2, who?
[06:02] <seracht> do you have problems wit hte font shaking
[06:02] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: I lost myself a bit there. Picking up with your last question, see following:
[06:02] <victor__> olasssssssssssss
[06:02] <victor__> ????????
[06:02] <tanubis> bullgard4 they just modified it slightly (esc cancels as opposed to mouse2 + help text window)

[06:03] <norml_advocat2> oh
[06:04] <brdoco> is there more to sharing a printer than just Global Settings -> Share Printers?
[06:04] <silas428> norml_advocat2: Make sure you read "the rootless root"
[06:04] <bullgard4> tanubis: Ah, very interesting. I will play a bit with xkill and see if its effect is the same as that of the 'Force Quit Button' applet. --  You are most helpful. Thank you very much indeed.
[06:06] <tanubis> bullgard4 welcome... still hunting for the source myself; someone on another forum had mentioned that force kill applet = gui wrapper for xkill command, but didn't site source.
[06:06] <Dezine> Is it possible to set different wallpapers for each desktop?
[06:06] <tanubis> dezine yes
[06:06] <bullgard4> tanubis: site > cite?
[06:06] <tanubis> bullgard4 indeed :P

[06:08] <zxcvbnm> MI FROM INDONESIA
[06:08] <bluebanana> for more info check out http://downloads.sourceforge.net/hcsoftware/Passage_v3_UnixSource.tar.gz
[06:09] <bluebanana> sorry, for more info: http://hcsoftware.sourceforge.net/passage/index.html
[06:09] <nickrud> tanubis: the source for the inhibit applet is in gnome-power-manager
[06:09] <regeya> !ask | zxcvbnm
[06:09] <ubotu> zxcvbnm: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[06:09] <regeya> btw, hi zxcvbnm
[06:09] <nickrud> tanubis: arg, that's not what you were looking for, brain fart
[06:09] <bluebanana> how do I "run to build"?
[06:10] <tanubis> nickrud no problem :O
[06:10] <regeya> well, basically you bolt from your car right to the work site.
[06:10] <zxcvbnm> HAY EVERY BODY MY NAME IS NANA
[06:10] <cwillu> bluebanana, open a terminal to the folder (extacting the tar.gz first)
[06:10] <cwillu> bluebanana, ./configure
[06:10] <cwillu> bluebanana, make
[06:10] <nickrud> !caps zxcvbnm
[06:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about caps zxcvbnm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:10] <regeya> cripes, zxcvbnm
[06:10] <bluebanana> cwillu: thanks. will try
[06:10] <nickrud> !caps | zxcvbnm
[06:10] <ubotu> zxcvbnm: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[06:10] <cwillu> bluebanana, that's the usual incantation at least
[06:10] <tanubis> nickrud if you've any idea how to use ubuntu to control sms on a recalcitrant w300i over usb cable using commandline or php, that's what I'm hunting for :)
[06:11] <nickrud> tanubis: fortunately, no I don't :)
[06:11] <zxcvbnm> WHAT DO YOU MEAN I NOT UNDERSTAND
[06:11] <bluebanana> cwillu: it doesn't work
[06:11] <bluebanana> please see the tar.gz file
[06:11] <nickrud> zxcvbnm: please use lower case, not captitalized letters
[06:11] <bluebanana> there's a file called "runToBuild"
[06:11] <seracht> to install awn do I just do sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator?
[06:11] <cwillu> bluebanana, ah
[06:11] <cwillu> bluebanana, ./runToBuild
[06:11] <nickrud> !awn | seracht
[06:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:11] <samuel> How to valid the environment  variable after I set in the .profile ?
[06:11] <cwillu> bluebanana, you might need to chmod a+x runToBuild first
[06:12] <nickrud> seracht: arg. No, you have to find an outside repo for it
[06:12] <zxcvbnm> oh i see thanks for your information
[06:12] <AntiUSA> is Kubuntu aesthetically better than Ubuntu?
[06:12] <AntiUSA> and does it have any disadvantages
[06:12] <seracht> nickrud:  any guides out there?
[06:12] <cwillu> AntiUSA, is a honda aesthetically better than a toyota?
[06:12] <cwillu> AntiUSA, depends on who you ask
[06:13] <AntiUSA> well which has more visual effects?
[06:13] <nickrud> seracht: http://getdeb.net/app/Avant+Window+Navigator , but I do not vouch for the quality
[06:13] <SRN9> I have been using Kubuntu and ubuntu for about 2 yrs now, they both seem to be quite the same, other than the wm.
[06:13] <AntiUSA> wm?
[06:14] <AntiUSA> does one have more compatability/stability than the other?
[06:14] <SRN9> window manager, or user interface, sorry about that.
[06:14] <bluebanana> cwillu: did the chmod command, but there's an error
[06:14] <AntiUSA> ah ok, sorry i'm nbew to linux
[06:14] <nickrud> AntiUSA: the best description of the difference I've seen is something along the lines of kde is for tweakers, gnome is for users ;)
[06:14] <SRN9> no problem
[06:15] <AntiUSA> thanks Nick, thats helpful
[06:15] <cwillu> !pullingteeth
[06:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pullingteeth - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:15] <bluebanana> cwillu: try downloading it
[06:15]  * brdoco must be invisible
[06:15] <nickrud> AntiUSA: not to say that kde is any less / more than gnome, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Try both for yourself
[06:16] <cwillu> bluebanana, try telling me what the error is; I'm just helping out while waiting for builds and transfers and the like
[06:16] <bluebanana> only 400 kb

[06:20] <norml_advocat2> nickrud just gimme the crash course
[06:20] <karllenz> can anyone help me out here im new to linux and irc lol
[06:21] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: Ok, the really fast way is a large cash bribe
[06:21] <karllenz> lol
[06:21] <cwillu> lol
[06:21] <karllenz> wish i had that
[06:21] <TurtleOfDoom> karllenz: perhaps you could try a large cash bribe
[06:21] <norml_advocat2> turtleofdoom  ive got tree fiddy
[06:21] <icesword> ...
[06:21] <TurtleOfDoom> karllenz: or you could just ask your question :-D
[06:21] <cwillu> what's the ctrl key for an eof char?
[06:21] <karllenz> ok i bott the live cd and it doesnt seem to boot
[06:22] <credible> cwillu: Ctrl+D
[06:22] <nickrud> cwillu: ^D
[06:22] <norml_advocat2> nickrud do you know anything about kubuntu
[06:22] <brdoco> nickrud.. how can i get to be not ignored?
[06:22] <bluebanana> cwillu: http://pastebin.com/m1fc0d40d
[06:22] <bluebanana> (error)
[06:22] <TurtleOfDoom> karllenz: ok, you put it in the computer, turn it on and what do you see on the screen
[06:22] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: very little, I run gnome
[06:22] <karllenz> right now ubuntu with a loading bar
[06:22] <TurtleOfDoom> karllenz: for how long?
[06:23] <nickrud> brdoco: ignored? If it was for a question, it either got lost in the channel scroll, or no one knew the answer. Ask every 10 minutes or so
[06:23] <[chr0n0s]> anyone here who uses tomboy?
[06:23] <norml_advocat2> nickrud is that also known as gdk?  and is gnome better?  and why did my computer start messing up when I installed KDE?
[06:23] <cwillu> bluebanana, find out if they say anything on the site about needing dependencies
[06:23] <karllenz> then it goes to a screen that has four lines ending in {ok}
[06:23] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: gdk is a part of gnome
[06:23] <linux_user400354> how can i remove everything installed from the mediubuntu repository and undo all the changes it did? it also upgraded software and things do not work right. id really like to do more than take it out of my sources.list. i need to undo all the changes it did. could anyone please tell me how?
[06:23] <cwillu> bluebanana, looks like you probably need libsdl-dev or something
[06:23] <bluebanana> cwillu: "  Note: To build from source, you must have the SDL development library installed. "
[06:23] <karllenz> and it wont go any farther
[06:23] <norml_advocat2> turtleofdoom which part is it?
[06:23] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: why kde messes up your system? no clue, really
[06:23] <cwillu> bluebanana, yep;  open synaptic, look for libsdl-dev, or stuff like that
[06:24] <bluebanana> cwillu: can i uninstall the build-essential?
[06:24] <TurtleOfDoom> karllenz: what is the last line before it stops
[06:24] <SRN9> what are you doing with tomboy?
[06:24] <norml_advocat2> ever since i installed kde my computer will not hibernate anymore
[06:24] <norml_advocat2> it just crashes
[06:24] <karllenz> running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)
[06:24] <cwillu> bluebanana, you'll need it for this for sure, it's not a bad thing to have installed anyway
[06:24] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: basically gdk is waht you use when you log in graphically
[06:25] <norml_advocat2> turtleofdoom is there a way to login using the terminal no GUI at all, and then run a command to open gnome?
[06:25] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: yes
[06:25] <karllenz> my guess is its my vidio card cuz whe i change it it seems to work
[06:25] <Risky> heya - i'm trying to install off a usb drive, but a don't know which thing in /dev/ is my usb stick - any way to find out?
[06:25] <nickrud> TurtleOfDoom: no, that's gdm. gdk is sort of a wrapper around gtk, which draws the widgets in your windows
[06:25] <[chr0n0s]> SRN9, ?
[06:26] <Risky> i tried mounting a whole bunch of them but I always get no such device or something
[06:26] <AtomicSpark> so how come there are no web editing programs for ubuntu? D:
[06:26] <icesword> rishy,it is sda ususlly
[06:26] <norml_advocat2> turtleofdoom wilt though teach me oh wise turtle master
[06:26] <TurtleOfDoom> karllenz: I'm sorry, I'm probably not the best person to help you with this, perhaps someone else ...
[06:26] <Risky> icesword: and if that's not working?
[06:26] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: :-) "startx"
[06:26] <nickrud> AtomicSpark: kompozer does that, also amaya
[06:26] <karllenz> damn
[06:26] <karllenz> lol
[06:26] <Risky> both sda and sdb aren't working - any way to actually identify it?
[06:26] <norml_advocat2> turtleofdoom this wont break my comp. will it?
[06:26] <icesword> Risky, sda.depend on your hard disk type ,if you  hd is hda,then usb is sda
[06:27] <norml_advocat2> i do not like kde
[06:27] <Risky> yeah its all sata
[06:27] <tonyyarusso> icesword: all are sda now.
[06:27] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: if you tell me what you're planning to do, I might be able to answer that question
[06:27] <icesword> what?
[06:27] <Risky> so...what should i try if it doesn't mount?
[06:27] <icesword> Risky, it is sdb
[06:27] <nickrud> tonyyarusso: not quite, my drive still gets recognized as hda
[06:27] <Risky> its fat32, should i use vfat?
[06:27] <norml_advocat2> i want my computer to boot into the terminal .  and be able to run gnome with a command line
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> icesword: all drives will show up as /dev/sd* now, regardless.
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> nickrud: what release?
[06:28] <norml_advocat2> hacker style
[06:28] <TurtleOfDoom> nickrud: ahh yes, screwing up my accronmys, I wish the gnome people would be more creative
[06:28] <nickrud> tonyyarusso: gutsy
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> nickrud: crazy
[06:28] <Gumby> I accidentally left a hardy repo enable and now I am trying to figure out which packages got installed (not many) so I can downgrade them back to gutsy. Is there an easy way to do this?
[06:28] <nickrud> tonyyarusso: I read somewhere that some drives still get that. I have 4200rpm drives in my laptop
[06:28] <icesword> tonyyarusso, what u mean
[06:28] <Risky> should i be trying to mount /dev/sda or /dev/sda#
[06:28] <Risky> ?
[06:29] <tonyyarusso> Risky: #
[06:29] <icesword> sdb
[06:29] <norml_advocat2> turtleofdoom have you forsaken me master?
[06:29] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: yes, you can do that, I believe you have to change the "runlevel" but I'm not the best person to answer the question
[06:29] <norml_advocat2> gotcha
[06:30] <norml_advocat2> nickrud will know what to do
[06:30] <twiztr> I just set my ATi card to use the propriatary  drivers, and it won't let me set any visual effects.  How do I upgrade from feisty to gutsy
[06:30] <AtomicSpark> twiztr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[06:31] <twiztr> AtomicSpark: Thank you.
[06:31] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: to completely remove kde, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome .
[06:31] <AtomicSpark> twiztr: also need xserver-xgl if you get xgl error when trying switchcommand --compiz
[06:31] <AtomicSpark> whatever it is :P its at the end
[06:31] <norml_advocat2> nickrud good call im gonna bookmark that but until then do you know how to boot to a terminal, and what command starts gnome?
[06:32] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: not without some reconfiguration
[06:32] <Aloha> how do i change my system hostname?
[06:32] <nickrud> !hostname | Aloha
[06:32] <ubotu> Aloha: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab
[06:32] <msn> i have setup a ubuntu gutsy mirror for my organisation, the mirror works fine on the installed hosts, but while i try to install a new host using netboot it fails with 404 while trying to download some files
[06:33] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[06:33] <AtomicSpark> a mirror for your organizatoin...
[06:33] <AtomicSpark> brilliant!
[06:33] <raddy> When i issue du -h -d1 i get this error
[06:33] <raddy> -d invalid option
[06:33] <norml_advocat2> nickrud thats a good page.  what type of config. are we talkin?
[06:34] <msn> well i dont want everyone of them hitting some mirror and choking my internet badwidth when all are going to get the same stuff
[06:34] <GAS_Ubuntu> ㅇ
[06:34] <icesword> ...
[06:34] <AtomicSpark> raddy: there is only D and im guessing its not what you want. invalid operation means the command usage is wrong.
[06:34] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: turning off the login screen, and setting up startx . But to be truthful, I haven't done that in a couple of years, and am not sure I remember completely
[06:35] <norml_advocat2> nickrud okey dokely then
[06:35] <norml_advocat2> Is anyone in this room smarter than nickrud?
[06:35] <AtomicSpark> msn: hmm. they are working on a ubuntu update server. that would be neat. just like wsus for windows.
[06:35] <raddy> AtomicSpark : i understand the meaning of invalid option.
[06:35] <supershort> hey
[06:35] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: i am :D
[06:35] <shawn3> I'm trying to have a Makefile where if I type 'make vim' it will open vim with a file named for the current date formatted `date '+%Y-%m-%d'` could anyone help me with this?
[06:35] <supershort> anyone know how to reset mysql password
[06:35] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: ask for help in setting up startx , someone will chime in. Probably a lot of people who come thru here have it set up
[06:35] <raddy> AtomicSpark : http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/09/27/Big_Scary_Daemons.html
[06:35] <supershort> cos i kinda forgot the root password
[06:35] <msn> AtomicSpark: it also works with new installs using apt-get or synaptic
[06:35] <nickrud> norml_advocat2: many, many, many :)
[06:36] <msn> the only thing that doesnt work is new installs
[06:36] <raddy> AtomicSpark : how do i use the guide
[06:36] <Supaplex> supershort: that FAQ is all over the net. ask google :)
[06:36] <norml_advocat2> atomicspark  do you know how to setup startx
[06:36] <norml_advocat2> ?
[06:36] <msn> i meant new OS installation over the network is not able to find some packages
[06:36] <norml_advocat2> Does anyone know how to setup startx?
[06:37] <AtomicSpark> raddy: according to the man file for du, -d doesnt exist. i am not sure where that guide got it. :\ maybe on other distros?
[06:37] <msn> raddy: what are you trying to do?
[06:38] <msn> may be you need du -h --max-depth=1
[06:38] <bluefoxx> ok, so im trying to make a shell script to open streamripper and automatically start ripping four streams, but i want it to open them in seperate tabs of gnome-terminal. what is the command for this?
[06:38] <raddy> msn : trying to find big folder and big file
[06:38] <msn> raddy: du -h |grep G
[06:39] <msn> raddy: du -h |grep M
[06:39] <msn> should find you those :P
[06:39] <norml_advocat2> Does anyone know how to setup StartX?
[06:40] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: i assume you mean xserver. startx is the command to start it. :P
[06:40] <norml_advocat2> atomicspark  i want my computer to boot into the terminal no GUI
[06:41] <norml_advocat2> then run the GUI
[06:41] <norml_advocat2> using startx apparently
[06:42] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: no. unfortunately, ubuntu doesnt use run levels. in other distros, you can change your run level to 3, and everything will be terminal only. you may beable to log out and change your session to terminal only. i am not sure. once gnome or kde is installed, it takes over. :P
[06:42] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: well, "sudo apt-get remove gdm" will remove the graphical startup program from your computer, that will start it in a terminal, then you have to set it up to you can run "startx" and it will load into gnome
[06:43] <AtomicSpark> startx starts xserver/x11 not gnome :P but yes it would get you into gui
[06:43] <norml_advocat2> turtleofdoom so if i remove gdm i can still run gnome?  mr. spark says not
[06:44] <TurtleOfDoom> AtomicSpark: and the x-server will run gnome if you set it up correctly, you're arguing semantics
[06:44] <supershort> how do i remove apps?
[06:44] <supershort> without package manager
[06:44] <AtomicSpark> TurtleOfDoom: yes i am. :P dont want the boy confused. if he removes gnome it will be gone. no more.
[06:44] <norml_advocat2> turtleofdoom does that slowdown the desktop alot?
[06:45] <ste-foy> thank you for your help AtomicSpark
[06:45] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: what are you trying to do? boot into terminal only then have the option to switch to gui?
[06:45] <norml_advocat2> atomicspark you got it, i want my friends to think that i am a superhacker
[06:45]  * TurtleOfDoom laughs
[06:45] <norml_advocat2> and that looks pretty cool
[06:46] <Schmao-Fmao> Anyone here with Sun Grid Engine experience? :)
[06:46] <Schmao-Fmao> I'm a little confused about something and would appreciate a little help
[06:46] <bluefoxx> ok, so im trying to make a shell script to open streamripper and automatically start ripping four streams, but i want it to open them in seperate tabs of gnome-terminal. what is the command for this?
[06:46] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: haha. you may not beable to do that, because of how ubuntu doesnt use run levels (afaik) but let me check if you can log into terminal only.
[06:46]  * AtomicSpark will be right back
[06:47] <norml_advocat2> turtleofdoom what does atomicspark mean by levels?
[06:48] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: on other distributions there are different "levels" you can start your computer in
[06:48] <norml_advocat2> can you move through the levels without rebooting?
[06:49] <TurtleOfDoom> norml_advocat2: level x would start you at a console, level y would start you with a pretty GUI, to answer your question, I beleive so, but it has been several years, and as someone reminded me ubuntu doesn't do things that way
[06:49] <AtomicSpark> hmm that was what i was afraid of
[06:49] <AtomicSpark> you are right sir. ubuntu doesnt use run levels.
[06:50] <AtomicSpark> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel
[06:50] <amedx> try ubuntu+gnome+e17 it's fantastic
[06:50] <amedx> your name es opengeu
[06:50] <TurtleOfDoom> well it is possible, because my box using the server edition starts to a console
[06:50] <Rat409> sudo gedit /etc/inittab>change 5 to 3; then either put exec gnome-session in your users /home/.xinitrc to use startx or do xinit /usr/bin/gnome-session
[06:51] <AtomicSpark> TurtleOfDoom: does it have gnome installed?
[06:51] <AtomicSpark> TurtleOfDoom: or xserver?
[06:51] <TurtleOfDoom> AtomicSpark: yes, but I've never actually tried running x on it
[06:52] <Rat409> runlevel3 is multi-user console login disables gdm 5=gdm
[06:52] <kerzack> Does anyone know of drivers for GeForce 7900 GS other than the ones that come from the restricted drivers manager? In windows I was using my 7900 without power supply hookups(don't currently have a powerful enough power supply) and it would just limit the draw on the card. Is there anything like this for Ubuntu or should I just go without hardware accelleration until I get my new power supply?
[06:53] <Parliament> alright, this is going to sound really kind of noob, but i just switched over to ubuntu from windows
[06:53] <AtomicSpark> Rat409: you've done this on ubuntu?
[06:53] <Parliament> i'm dual booting
[06:53] <norml_advocat2> rat409 you sound like a genius
[06:53] <Rat409> on about 30 distros yuh
[06:53] <Parliament> i partitioned off and installed and everything's going well
[06:53] <norml_advocat2> you can be my mentor
[06:53] <supershort> HOW DO I UNINSTALL LAMPP WITHOUT PACKAGE MANGER

[06:54] <Parliament> when i open the itunues folder in my documents, it just brings up the album art folder and nothing else
[06:54] <AtomicSpark> Rat409: yes. thats nice. i was asking if you did this on ubuntu. because from the link i just gave said ubuntu doesnt use runlevels.

[06:57] <pawan> want the change the hd parameters
[06:58] <Rat409> norml_advocat2: step 1 sudo gedit /etc/inittab then change init:5: to a 3; xinit /usr/bin/gnome-session;or add exec /usr/bin/gnome-session to your ~/.xinitrc and use startx

[07:00] <kerzack> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:00] <pawan> unable to view output from graphics card
[07:00] <kerzack> if its the no screens found problem just select new video card drivers from the list
[07:00] <Rat409> norml_advocat2: then you can sudo su to root and do telinit 2,then init 3,then startx or whatever.
[07:00] <norml_advocat2> ooohhhh i think i kinda get that part
[07:01] <norml_advocat2> im gonna save all this stuff you just typed
[07:01] <Rat409> or just reboot then login to console prompt
[07:01] <norml_advocat2> and go over it with someone
[07:01] <Rat409> sure
[07:02] <norml_advocat2> rat409 so this will disable the gui though right? no clicky screen at all?
[07:02] <Rat409> yes,
[07:02] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: i wish you luck being an extreme hacker ;)

[07:02] <kerzack> for future reference : II'm about to install drivers for my video card, in the event I cannot startx after this, how can I remove the drivers from the command line?
[07:02] <SimplySeth> how does one remove a higher version package and replace it with the supported ubuntu version from the repos ?
[07:03] <norml_advocat2> rat409 virtual console eh?  sounds like a game
[07:03] <kerzack> pawan, System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager
[07:03] <pawan> but when i reboot it looses restriced drivers
[07:03] <bluefoxx> ok, so im trying to make a shell script to open streamripper and automatically start ripping four streams, but i want it to open them in seperate tabs of gnome-terminal. what is the command for this?
[07:03] <pawan> and cant load graphics interface in normal mode
[07:03] <norml_advocat2> simplyseth http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[07:03] <Rat409> norml_advocat2: no,more like a fullscreen xterm,las in ctrl+alt+F1-F7 etc.
[07:03] <Barry_> my audigy 2 and logitech usb audio arent working in a fresh install of ubuntu and i updated and still no sound
[07:04] <SimplySeth> norml_advocat2: thanks
[07:04] <norml_advocat2> rat409 i do not know what that means at all
[07:04] <Risky> could a usb drive be anywhere other than /dev/sd*?
[07:04] <kerzack> pawan, that's because you're using the live cd, you'll have to install Ubuntu to actually save changes.
[07:04] <norml_advocat2> i am sooo new to this its scary
[07:04] <AtomicSpark> ...
[07:04] <norml_advocat2> but I hate windows
[07:04] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: why do you hate windows?
[07:04] <norml_advocat2> and i beat atomic spark to that answer and im not an op
[07:05] <Risky> i noticed on boot that the usb drive showed up under removables wheras on most machines it shows up as a hard drive on boot
[07:05] <pawan> i installed ubuntu but it is not loading nvidia drives so how to reinstall nvidia drivers from command prompt
[07:05] <norml_advocat2> windows crashes and gets viruses like crazy
[07:05] <Rat409> norml_advocat2: at the console login if you want gdm back just sudo gdm
[07:05] <Risky> norml_advocat2: man so biased in her
[07:05] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: thats a user problem not a operating system issue. and what did you beat me to? :P i'm not an "op"
[07:05] <SimplySeth> norml_advocat2: hmmm not what I wanted .. but thanks .. I installed a newer version of Mixxx and I want to go back the repository version of mixxx
[07:05] <Risky> i haven't had windows xp crash in at least a year
[07:05] <kerzack> pawan, make sure you aren't booting from live cd if you've already installed ubuntu and to be booting from your harddrive
[07:05] <Risky> i can't say the same about ubuntu
[07:06] <kerzack> my ubuntu crashes all the time
[07:06] <kerzack> thats my fault though
[07:06] <kerzack> D:
[07:06] <norml_advocat2> rat409 your a pro im just show
[07:06] <norml_advocat2> atomicspark your not bad yourself
[07:06] <Risky> man i cannot get this usb thing to work...

[07:06] <pawan> how to reconfigure nvidia drivers
[07:06] <Rat409> we were all newbies once
[07:06] <Risky> i booted off the usb just fine and now i can't mount it as a drive
[07:06] <Barry_> my audigy 2 and logitech usb audio arent working in a fresh install of ubuntu and i updated and still no sound
[07:06] <Risky> it just hates me
[07:06] <Sinister> i cant find in the settings where you can set your monotor off after like 30 min of being idle anyone know where its at in kde
[07:07] <Risky> i'm doing: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /cdrom <-- look right?
[07:07] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: i'm still iffy about what you're trying to do since everything i read states that ubuntu doesnt use runlevels. but hey i'm not going to argue. lol.
[07:07] <kerzack> Anyone know how to uninstall drivers from terminal?

[07:08] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: repost what? i saw what he said. i know it would work on redhat or suse, but ubuntu? donno.
[07:08] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: something for me to look into now.

[07:09] <VvWolverinevV> hi i do not want ubuntu to boot with a silent splash, but every time there is an update, that parameter is reset, how can i prevent this?
[07:09] <AtomicSpark> Barry_: do you have any drivers listed unchecked in your system > administration >restricted driver manager?
[07:10] <runemaste> anyone have any ideas why?
[07:10] <Barry_> let me check
[07:10] <student> unable to install?
[07:10] <Barry_> yeah nvidia accelerated graphics driver
[07:10] <student> on compaq 6715b laptop
[07:10] <student> plz helpppppppppppppp
[07:10] <Rat409> AtomicSpark: look in /etc/rc0.d-rc6.d
[07:11] <student> unable to install ubuntu
[07:11] <AtomicSpark> Barry_: well you can enable that, wont help your audio issue. is this on board? usb? addon card?
[07:11] <AtomicSpark> student: settle young padawon. you installed ubuntu on your harddrive?
[07:12] <Barry_> i guess the audigy is on board how can i tell?
[07:12] <StamR> Hallo, i have a problem with an installation . Who can assist?
[07:12] <norml_advocat2> rat409 did i mention i install kde but switched back to gdm?
[07:12] <msn> audigy is external i think
[07:12] <norml_advocat2> rat409 does that matter?
[07:12] <msn> or atleast external card
[07:12] <Barry_> its a card pluged into the mother board isent it?
[07:12] <msn> i mean pci card
[07:12] <Barry_> ive lookd inside my case before
[07:12] <student> no live cd installation problems
[07:12] <msn> yup
[07:12] <degreseven> Hello, I have 3 partitions that were in an lvm volume on a previous installation. How can i reassemble them on a fresh install?
[07:13] <msn> format them degreseven
[07:13] <msn> :P
[07:13] <Rat409> norml_advocat2: no unless you used dpkg-reconfigure to use kdm,then if needed from console-login type kdm
[07:13] <msn> if you cant that's different
[07:13] <degreseven> no, i need the data on them
[07:13] <runemaste> any idea why im getting "Could not read from resource" from totem?
[07:13] <AtomicSpark> Barry_: that would be a pci card. i guess ubuntu doesn't have a driver for it. odd. of course creative always had crappy drivers *cough*
[07:13] <student> during install, black screen appears. it says that it is loading many things. but it gets stuck at something like, /etc
[07:14] <student> plz helpppppppppppppp
[07:14] <norml_advocat2> rat409 i used syn. apt. pack. man.
[07:14] <talcite> student, what does your dmesg say?
[07:14] <norml_advocat2> or yeah
[07:14] <student> unable to install ubuntu on compaq 6715b laptop
[07:14] <AtomicSpark> student: you tried to run the installer from live cd?
[07:14] <student> i don't remember exactly
[07:14] <norml_advocat2> rat409 would you happen to know anything about aircrack-ng?
[07:14] <Rat409> norml_advocat2: doesn't matter its whatever dm you call from the console,need root-powers tho kdm,gdm,etc.
[07:15] <student> yes AtomicSpark>
[07:15] <AtomicSpark> haha.
[07:15] <Risky> ok

[07:15] <norml_advocat2> Elite Ninja Hacker!
[07:16] <Barry__> how can i get my usb audio working
[07:16] <StamR> Who can Assist with an Installation PROBLEM  ?
[07:16] <Rat409> Barry__: sometimes onboard needs to be disabled in bios
[07:16] <Risky> like, i do mount -t vfat /dev/sdb4 /cdrom
[07:16] <corporeal> damnit. i was gonna slap him first
[07:16] <norml_advocat2> Does anyone know how to use aircrack-ng?
[07:16] <Barry__> y wud that matter
[07:17] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: i've used it before
[07:17] <norml_advocat2> wooot
[07:17] <norml_advocat2> atomicspark i just ran it through syn. pack. man. and i dont think it did anything
[07:17] <xTheGoat121x> Does anyone in here have a Celeron M-based laptop?
[07:17] <Rat409> Risky: wouldn't mtpoint be /media/cdrom or /mnt/cdrom?
[07:18] <student> yes AtomicSpark???
[07:18] <Barry__> ant there anyway to get my logitech usb headset working? id rather have it than my audigy 2 sound
[07:18] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: you don't want to install it in ubuntu. you should use this live cd. which ill get you a link.
[07:18] <student> plz helpppppppppppppp
[07:18] <student> i'm unable to install ubuntu on compaq 6715b laptop
[07:18] <student> during install, black screen appears. it says that it is loading many things. but it gets stuck at something like, /etc
[07:18] <student> plz helpppppppppppppp
[07:19] <norml_advocat2> student i was a student once, then i became an elite ninja hacker
[07:19] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html
[07:19] <Risky> Rat409: does it matter?
[07:19] <Barry__> ant there anyway to get my logitech usb headset working? id rather have it than my audigy 2 sound
[07:19] <norml_advocat2> atomicspark i think your my new best friend
[07:19] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: do not use this illegally. kthxbai.
[07:19] <Rat409> Barry__: i'd do lsusb then check at alsa.org to find needed kernel-module or ubuntu-wiki
[07:19] <Risky> i think it needs to be /cdrom because thats where the installer looks
[07:19] <norml_advocat2> what is kthxbai
[07:19] <Barry__> k
[07:19] <student> plz helpppppppppppppp
[07:20] <student> plz helpppppppppppppp
[07:20] <student> plz helpppppppppppppp
[07:20] <jink1> Student: Try makeing a new cd

[07:20] <ubotu> student: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:20] <student> i got it from ShipIt
[07:20] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: internet speak. ha. you need to learn ninja hacking skillz. but anyways. 1. its only supported on a few wireless cars, which you probably dont have. 2. to get it working on other cards is almost impossible sometimes requiring custom linux binaries. 3. only works on wep, which nobody should ever, ever use.
[07:21] <jink1> some cdroms are picky
[07:21] <norml_advocat2> atomicspark ok well its a start do you think it works with a broadcom 43xx?
[07:21] <jink1> might be worn/old
[07:21] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: no.
[07:22] <theo_> I was thinking, we could turn the homeless into tires.  So we can use them.. for our cars!

[07:22] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: not even a slight hope of broadcom support. there is a link on there somewhere that says what is supported. mostly aeoros (sp) cards.
[07:22] <norml_advocat2> gotcha
[07:22] <runemaste> what doesnt have broadcom support?
[07:22] <norml_advocat2> its sumthin to read
[07:23] <jink1> Does anyone here use vmware?
[07:23] <bipoi> no one
[07:23] <AtomicSpark> norml_advocat2: basically you'll be buying a pcmci (wow i dont even remember what this is called) card for your laptop if you want to use it. or a usb one. no internal.
[07:23] <jimlay> I have an ubuntu 32bit setup w/ encrypted root (setup with 7.10 upgraded to hardy) and I wanted to test try 64bit ubuntu. In the install of the 64bit ubuntu I told it that the encrypted partition was encrypted and tried to mount it. I carefully read everything to make sure it wasn't going to clobber anything. Eventually I got to a screen where I couldn't mount the partition w/o formatting it - even though I'd used the same partition. Anyway,
[07:23] <AtomicSpark> jink1: i used to use vmware when i was mostly on windows.
[07:23] <jimlay> Who should I talk to about this? Cause this is super not ok.

[07:24] <norml_advocat2> atomicspark i dont think im gonna buy anything until i get a job :-)
[07:24] <jink1> Mine just stopped working. Was wondering if anyone else had this problem
[07:24] <AtomicSpark> jimlay: the whole point of the encryption is so nobody can mount it randomly. you'll have to unencrypt it somehow before using it.
[07:24] <jimlay> ) I had the strong impression I was performing a reversable operation - aka "trying to mount"
[07:25] <AtomicSpark> jimlay: if you used encrypted lvm, i don't think there is an undo option.
[07:25] <pawan> how to edit and save menu.lst
[07:25] <jink1> I believe it was an update that broke it
[07:26] <demonspork> why are so many of the people in here running irssi
[07:26] <demonspork> lol
[07:26] <jimlay> AtomicSpark: I completely understand this. I instructed the setup to setup the encrypted device using the same crypt key that I had before expecting that the block device would then contain my xfs partition.
[07:26] <Gregmond> pawan:  sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:26] <norml_advocat2> domonspork what is irssi?
[07:26] <jimlay> (that's a bit wordy)

[07:29] <jak_> Thanks demon_spork

[07:35] <Tensop> Guys, anyone know of a file in /proc or command that shows the current stats for the cpu(eg idle/user/nill/wait) ?
[07:35] <EADG> Tensop: top
[07:35] <Tensop> that isnt top :)
[07:36] <Tensop> i want to >> the output to a .htm
[07:36] <jimlay> AtomicSpark: no. I told the setup utility (textmode - I don't know the name) to use the hda5 partion as a luks crypt device just like I had the first time (same partition) and when it asked for the key I gave it the same key. I feel I've narrowed down what happened - and I'm pretty sure that when I said "use this as an encrypted partition" it went ahead and ran luksFormat on the block device w/o notifying me that it was doing it. I assumed i
[07:36] <Tensop> top would be a cpu intensive way of doing it

[07:36] <EADG> Tensop: oh, ahh.
[07:37] <miguelito> i am using windows right now but i have dual boot.  i was was using ubuntu earlier for the first time im months and the internet was working fine.  (i use a wireless network adapter). I was told to upgrade because there was an upgrade so i did.  when i restarted, i couldnt connect to the internet.  ive tried every logical combination in the network settings.
[07:37] <jimlay> AtomicSpark, are you familiar with luks/crypto stuff? My real question is how do I figure out who maintains that bit of the installation scripts - or what mailinglist/forum do they communicate on.
[07:37] <jimlay> (this is happening on the alt install cd)
[07:38] <jink1> miguelito: do you know was wireless card is in your laptop?
[07:38] <miguelito> im using a desktop
[07:38] <jimlay> Tensop: there is a package that does sysinfo -> cgi very well.
[07:38] <jink1> What brand is the Wireless?
[07:38] <miguelito> im using it right now but it doesnt work in ubuntu after the update.  its a linksys
[07:38] <pawan> how to install oracle on ubuntu
[07:38] <jimlay> you prorably don't actually want to be writing your own system monitor. parsing the system load data in proc can be a bitch.
[07:40] <miguelito> can anyone help me with that?
[07:40] <jink1> miguelito: you may need to use ndiswrapper. Get the exact model of the card and try and search the forum
[07:41] <miguelito> what is ndiswrapper?
[07:41] <bashca> hi there all
[07:41] <jink1> miguelito: its a kernel mod that allows you to use windows drivers
[07:42] <miguelito> ok i just read about it.  how can i download it if i cant get online when im in ubuntu?
[07:42] <jink1> miguelito: Use a jump drive or floppy
[07:43] <miguelito> could i just save it on my computer and access it from ubuntu?
[07:43] <jink1> Miguelito: are you dual booting?

[07:44] <alexw> i am trying to use wpa_passphrase

[07:44] <alexw> is there a way to enclose this
[07:44] <^futuro> I cant find ubuntu 7.04 for my notebook
[07:44] <^futuro> can we help me?
[07:45] <alexw> it keeps showing >
[07:45] <miguelito> yes i am dual booting but that doesnt matter.  my wireless internet worked until i restarted my computer after the update to 7.10 from 7.4
[07:45] <unikon>  Has anyone dealt with the new Front End Gui for Nmap called Zenmap yet and if so  is it any better than the other Guis that are already out now currently?
[07:46] <tom17bombadil_2> i read vague hints about bugs with updated evolutuion-versions.
[07:46] <tom17bombadil_2> who knows about that?
[07:46] <jink1>  Sure if you can access your windows partition from ubuntu then you can just save it

[07:47] <^futuro> Do you know amilo li 1705?
[07:48] <jink1> I suggest searching the forum. Im sure someone else has had the some issue.
[07:48] <JoshF> i am trying to generate a wpa hex key, yet the key i am using contains \ and it keeps showing up > new lines every time, how can i make it so i can enclose these I have tried ""
[07:48] <jink1> Havent reg my nick yet so I cant PM
[07:48] <^futuro> Hello everyone,
[07:49] <JoshF> e.g. wpa_passphrase essid mykey\334323
[07:49] <NickDangr>  starchat
[07:49] <^futuro> Ubuntu 7.10 on Fujitsu Siemens Amilo LI 1705?
[07:49] <miguelito> yes you can
[07:49] <Starnestommy> JoshF: does replacing the \ with a \\ work?
[07:49] <miguelito> i just pmed you.  look up top
[07:49] <JoshF> i will give it a try one sec
[07:49] <hw00djohn> hey, i'm trying to use tor privoxy and i'm having some trouble.  I installed it using "sudo apt-get install tor privoxy" and then installed the add-on to firefox.  now i'm not sure of what i need to do.  any help?
[07:50] <JoshF> nope
[07:50] <JoshF> still wants to goto a new line
[07:50] <miguelito> ok so i downloaded ndiswrapper and its a .tar file.  how do i work with that in unbuntu?
[07:50] <Tensop> try replacing the \ with 2 \'s, and putting a " on each end
[07:50] <^futuro> bye
[07:51] <JoshF> so e.g.
[07:51] <JoshF> \ is now \'\'
[07:51] <JoshF> correct?
[07:51] <JoshF> so "
[07:51] <JoshF> so "hey\'\'you"
[07:52] <Tensop> wpa_passphrase essid "mykey\\334323"
[07:52] <Tensop> not too sure whether that will work
[07:52] <jink1> miguelito: read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[07:52] <Tensop> perhaps just remove the \ from the wpa box you're trying to authenticate with ;)
[07:52] <ariyako> hai
[07:52] <JoshF> that means changing 25 pc's :P
[07:52] <ariyako> i got problem with network on ubuntu 7.10
[07:53] <Tensop> surely networkmanager in gnome/kde can do the wpa auth for you JoshF :)
[07:53] <JoshF> i need it @ boot time
[07:53] <Tensop> ah hmm
[07:53] <JoshF> as it is a server
[07:53] <JoshF> networkmanager turns on at login time
[07:54] <Tensop> does the key HAVE to be generated on that server
[07:54] <JoshF> nope
[07:54] <Tensop> eg can you do it on a wpa key generator website
[07:54] <Tensop> http://www.badtech.org/tools/wpa/index.php
[07:54] <JoshF> looking for that
[07:54] <JoshF> thanks mate
[07:55] <Tensop> Linux is full of niggly shit like that JoshF - theres a way to do it... but i cant remember :)
[07:55] <JoshF> yeh i always encounter it when i get to \
[07:55] <hiddensoul> Tensop, maybe if he used the HEX value for the key instead of the ascii value
[07:55] <JoshF> i might ask #linux
[07:55] <JoshF> hiddensoul im trying to generate a hex value
[07:55] <yao_ziyuan> if a linux distro aims to conquer the world's desktop,
[07:55] <yao_ziyuan> it must appeal to app developers
[07:55] <yao_ziyuan> and the best way to that,
[07:55] <yao_ziyuan> is to support cross-platform open-source RAD tools like Lazarus and Code::Blocks
[07:55] <JoshF> for /etc/network/interfaces
[07:56] <hiddensoul> Oh ok JoshF
[07:57] <alexw> just wondering
[07:57] <alexw> i get a box come up every time i login
[07:57] <alexw> for keyring manager
[07:57] <alexw> i recently changed my password for my user account, it asks for my password but only accepts my old password

[07:59] <Tara> Hello, I have a keyboard which has a volume knob on it but unfortunately after I installed the newest version 7.10, turning the knob does not affect the sound anymore (the little volume indicator pops up, but the sound is unaffected).  So far I'm only able to change volume through the program itself.  I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can get my keyboard to work again?
[07:59] <jamesrdorn> most likely for your wifi network key?
[08:00] <alexw> yeah
[08:00] <hotmonkeyluv> I've been looking online and I can't find if there is anything like the mac 'dashboard' for ubuntu. Is there?
[08:00] <_coredump_> moinsen
[08:01] <hw00djohn> how do i close firefox if it froze?
[08:01] <jamesrdorn> hotmonkeyluv: if you use the newest kubuntu KDE4 has a widgets option. in development they anounced that it would be apple dashboard compatable
[08:02] <Pete_B> I'm used to Debian rather than Ubuntu. A friend tells me Ubuntu's tasksel's lamp option does a load of integration / setup things that installing the packages separately doesn't. Where can I read about what extra setup it does? or can anyone tell me please?
[08:02] <miguelito> How do I get root?
[08:02] <jamesrdorn> hw00djohn, the best way for people that do not know their way around linux yet is to open the terminal "Applications>Accessories>Terminal
[08:02] <jamesrdorn> and type
[08:02] <jamesrdorn> xkill
[08:02] <hotmonkeyluv> jamesrdorn: what about if i use gnome?
[08:02] <jamesrdorn> then click on the firefox window
[08:02] <jamesrdorn> and poof, it's gone
[08:02] <FloodBot2> jamesrdorn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:02] <jamesrdorn> hotmonkeyluv, never even tried it to be honest.
[08:03] <Flyerfye> so who is the admin here?
[08:03] <hotmonkeyluv> thanks anyways!
[08:03] <jamesrdorn> I dont really use dashboard on the mac
[08:03] <neeto> So is there any way that I can map display 1 to JUST play EVE and have display 0 be my normal xfce setup?

[08:03] <zoidberg_> guys is there a nice easy way to convert .flac to .mp3 files?
[08:05] <Pete_B> zoidberg_: are you aware of the inherant loss of quality in going from one compressed format to another rather than ripping again from the original?
[08:05] <neeto> So is there any way that I can map display 1 to JUST play EVE and have display 0 be my normal xfce setup?
[08:06] <zoidberg_> Pete_B, i understand but will the loss of quality be that bad? besides i don't have the original
[08:06] <Pete_B> zoidberg_: I don;t know about the specifics as I've never done it. I guess the lower the bitrate / 'resolution' the worse as it has less info to go on
[08:09] <acee1234> is there an easy way to change the font color on windows/icons in ubuntu?
[08:09] <IndyGunFreak> acee1234: you mean like in the title bar?
[08:10] <Pete_B> Does the 'LAMP' installer do a load of integration / setup that wouldn't be done if installing apache, mysql & PHP packages separately?
[08:10] <acee1234> IndyGunFreak:  title bar/ icon names/ etc
[08:11] <IndyGunFreak> acee1234: hmm, not sure.. try messing with the System/Prefs/Appearance/Fonts Tab
[08:12] <IndyGunFreak> i know you can change the windows title font there(in the titlebar)
[08:12] <acee1234> IndyGunFreak:  no color options
[08:13] <firesword> !whoami
[08:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about whoami - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:14] <IndyGunFreak> acee1234: hm.. no clue.. i'm sure it can be done, but since you asked for an easy way, i doubt it, its probably going to involve some heavy theme modifying or creating your own
[08:15] <acee1234> IndyGunFreak:  fun stuff
[08:15] <Barry_> the cube is no longer working for me but the wobbling windows still work
[08:15] <Barry_> the cube is no longer working for me but the wobbling windows still work
[08:16] <zoidberg_> guys is there a nice easy way to convert .flac to .mp3 files?
[08:20] <Pete_B> zoidberg_: I reckon you should use synaptic or or packages.ubuntu.com and search
[08:21] <acee1234> is there a way to "fdisk" in ubuntu?
[08:22] <ariyako> yeah
[08:22] <ariyako> by typing sudo fdisk -l
[08:22] <Pete_B> acee1234: gparted (GUI), cfdisk (CLI)
[08:23] <Pete_B> cfdisk is safer than fdisk
[08:26] <AntiUSA> does anyone know any good tools for hard disk wiping within Ubuntu (ie. that won't harm my data that I have not deleted)

[08:43] <AntiUSA> not aware of cleanup!

[08:44] <AntiUSA> I used to use Cyberscrub Privacy Tools
[08:44] <mush> attention for all
[08:44] <AntiUSA> it would scrub the sections of my hard drive that I had deleted stuff from to permenantly delete my data in case it ever fell into the wrong hands
[08:45] <mush> i have one question
[08:45] <s0ulstice__> AntiUSA, I see.. i suppose encrypting your drive is too much trouble then? or not secure enough for you?
[08:45] <PISANG_NGEBUT> nanya apa?
[08:45] <AntiUSA> so is there something like that for Linux?
[08:45] <s0ulstice__> mush, quit with the foreplay
[08:45] <AntiUSA> not secure enough

[08:49] <ubotu> theo_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[08:49] <theo_> sudo's telling me it can't open the package
[08:49] <ariyako> theo: try sh
[08:49] <AntiUSA> I need to register mine as well
[08:49] <theo_> tried that, also telling me it can't open it
[08:49] <theo_> and I've set the access level to 'execute as program', as suggested on the nvidia forums
[08:49] <theo_> lemme get the error
[08:49] <ariyako> maybe with chmod some/
[08:49] <miguelito> What should I do to get the internet working?
[08:49] <theo_> sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.09-pkg2.run
[08:50] <s0ulstice__> theo_, you probably dont have it writable
[08:50] <theo_> hrmm
[08:50]  * theo_ makes sure of that
[08:50] <AntiUSA> what is the command to regiser ones nick on Freenode anyways?
[08:50] <s0ulstice__> theo_, try sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.09-pkg2.run
[08:50] <theo_> nope, still telling me it can't
[08:50] <theo_> lemme try that one
[08:50] <miguelito> grade because there was an upgrade so i did.  when i restarted, i couldnt connect to the internet.  ive tried every logical combination in the network settings.
[08:50] <ariyako> maybe with chmod some/
[08:50] <s0ulstice__> theo_, Why don't you use the restricted driver manager?
[08:51] <ariyako> sudo apt-get install??
[08:51] <butuh_teman> huiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[08:51] <theo_> because the nvidia forums are telling me to not use that
[08:51] <zqwe> AntiUSA: can you see my PM messages? cuz i think PM messages work on this IRC only for registered nicks, but it was working without registering with ubotu...

[08:54] <theo_> hrmm
[08:54] <s0ulstice__> theo_, I really think you should try the restricted manager if you have nvidia
[08:55] <theo_> I guess I'll try the restricted driver method
[08:55] <s0ulstice__> theo_, definitely a good choice
[08:55]  * theo_ reinstalls the packages x_x
[08:55] <AntiUSA> so back to my question... where can I get wiping tools for Linux?
[08:55] <mallockilx> I have a nightmare in xen
[08:55] <theo_> and here I was hoping to be all l33t and install the package I got off their site instead :p
[08:55] <mallockilx> I can't get a gues to have network interfaces
[08:55] <s0ulstice__> AntiUSA, I am unaware of any atm
[08:56] <s0ulstice__> theo_, well yo can do it... I dont know why it wasn't working.. have you installed packages from source before?
[08:56] <theo_> nope
[08:56] <theo_> I just installed ubuntu last night
[08:56] <theo_> after my windows install bricked itself
[08:57] <miguelito> Can someone help me with something?

[08:57] <miguelito>  i am using windows right now but i have dual boot.  i was was using ubuntu earlier for the first time im months and the internet was working fine.  (i use a wireless network adapter). I was told to up
[08:57] <miguelito> grade because there was an upgrade so i did.  when i restarted, i couldnt connect to the internet.  ive tried every logical combination in the network settings.
[08:58] <s0ulstice__> any preferred IDE's for python??
[08:58] <theo_> does this restricted driver have sli support?
[08:58] <AntiUSA> thanks dgjones
[08:58] <bengee_> Hey is on this server a c++ programming channel?
[08:59] <tockitj> is there specific procedure for compiling kernel under ubuntu ? :-)
[08:59] <miguelito> anyone wanna help me with that?
[08:59] <bengee_> %C8Is there a c++ channel?
[08:59] <rsa_md5> bengee_, ##c^^
[08:59] <rsa_md5> #c++
[09:00] <s0ulstice__> theo_, That is a good question.. off hand I don't know, but it is almost their latest release so I dont know why it wouldn't ..
[09:00] <theo_> k - I'll have to check it out when it's done downloading

[09:00] <seraph> anyone done a fresh install lately? I want to know how many megs of updates a fresh install needs...
[09:00] <theo_> thanks for the help so far, s0ulstice__ :)
[09:00] <s0ulstice__> miguelito, can you reinstall gutsy? Or maybe check the livecd version of gutsy before you install it to make sure it works out of the box
[09:01]  * theo_ threatens his xbox360 with a linux livecd
[09:01] <theo_> bwuahahaha
[09:01] <dgjones> seraph, I did one on sunday, the updates were a couple of hundred mb, can't remember exactly though
[09:01] <seraph> dgjones: but around that amount?
[09:02] <miguelito> s0ulstice, i downloaded 7.4 and burned it on a cd and the internet used to work for me.  i use a linksys wusb54g wireless adapter.  today i started up ubuntu 7.4 and it told me to update to 7.10 so i did.  can you help me diagnose the problem?
[09:02] <s0ulstice__> theo_, Sure thing.. from what I understand nvidia's driver architecture is is the same for all of their cards, so one driver is good for *almost* all their cards *save their go line maybe? So you can be assured that this driver is almost guaranteed to have sli support. The only concern is that since it is a linux driver, the architecture could be a little different
[09:03] <dgjones> seraph, yes, I'd sat 2-300mb, but I wouldn't like to gurantee it - This install was from an original alternate install cd when it was released, I don't know if the cd iso's are updated when updates are added, if they are it could be less
[09:03] <s0ulstice__> miguelito, I haven't used my wireless card in forever, I don't recall what you can do to try and get it to work... I generally don't like the dist-upgrade process too well yet, I prefer a reinstall if possible..
[09:04] <miguelito> how can i reinstall it without making another CD?
[09:04] <s0ulstice__> !install | miguelito
[09:04] <ubotu> miguelito: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[09:04] <s0ulstice__> miguelito, although the cd makes it infinitely simpler
[09:04] <alexw> i have auto wlan0 in my interfaces file but at boot time it does not do anything, its only till i run /etc/init.d/networking restart

[09:09] <darksim905> hi, quick question that doesn't exactly have to do with Ubuntu, just unsure where to turn
[09:10] <darksim905> it's more of a windows question really...  trying to up my machine to 64 bit with dual hard drives, SATA...  can anyone reccomend a SATA controler card that will work under windows XP 64 Bit?
[09:11] <karllenz> hi i just did a fresh install of ubuntu and it will not go passed the running local boot scripts screen oon boot up
[09:12] <neil_d> darksim905: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:12] <dgjones> darksim905, you'd be better asking in either #hardware or ##windows for that, they'd probably be better able to help you

[09:14] <harmental> I know that on a regular keyboard, you use the number pad on the right side of the keyboard. Laptops don't have that. How can a person on a laptop type accents like: é ê è and others like so under ubuntu?

[09:15] <s0ulstice__> harmental, laptops usually have it they are just associated with the regular keys and you press like the function key or something to enable it
[09:15] <dgjones> harmental, set you keyboard type to be one with dead keys, then when you press the ' or ^ key, the next key you press will be accented if they're normally accented keys
[09:15] <speeddemon8803> oops, wrong one

[09:16] <karllenz> any idea what could be wrong here
[09:16] <harmental> s0
[09:16] <karllenz> i just did a fresh install of ubuntu and it wont go passed the running local boot scripts when i boot up
[09:16] <speeddemon8803> !repeat | karllenz
[09:16] <ubotu> karllenz: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:17] <speeddemon8803> We just are trying to figure out whats wrong, dont feel ignored ;)
[09:17] <karllenz> o
[09:17] <karllenz> sry
[09:17] <harmental> s0ulstice__: i have tried every trick i could found.....(by the way ...im using a french kboard)
[09:17] <harmental> dgjones: "dead keys"? whats that?
[09:17] <speeddemon8803> As for myself, i have no clue what that could be...maybe try alternative isntall cd?
[09:17] <karllenz> thats wat i used
[09:18] <speeddemon8803> hmmm
[09:18] <speeddemon8803> What specs does your pc have?
[09:18] <s0ulstice__> harmental, I dont know then heh.. the laptop doesnt have a function key to change it to numberpad mode then huh?
[09:18] <karllenz> i had ubuntu working fine
[09:18] <karllenz> but got a new videocard
[09:18] <karllenz> and it screwed everything
[09:18] <PenguinBoy08> what'd u get?
[09:18] <karllenz> the card is an ati
[09:19] <speeddemon8803> !ati | karllenz
[09:19] <ubotu> karllenz: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:19] <karllenz> visiontek x1550
[09:19] <dgjones> harmental, if you go into your keyboard settings, I think System->Preferences->Keyboard, one of the tabs lets you pick the type of keyboard, it has defailt, dvorjak and one with dead keys + a 4th one i can't remember
[09:19] <karllenz> i know about installing drivers
[09:19] <dgjones> harmental, you'll need to restart X for it to work
[09:19] <karllenz> i mean i put the card in and turned on the pc and ubunut wouldnt boot anymore
[09:20] <PenguinBoy08> not even in txt mode?
[09:20] <compwiz18> karllenz: if you had an nvidia card, and you switched to an ati card, you'll have to change the driver
[09:20] <harmental> dgjones...thx...ill try that....
[09:20] <speeddemon8803> Did you try the stuff on the binary drivers howto karllenz?
[09:20] <compwiz18> karllenz: in xorg.conf (sorry)
[09:20] <karllenz> idk how to get to text mode
[09:21] <speeddemon8803> !textmode > speeddemon8803
[09:21] <compwiz18> karllenz: what card did you buy exactly? and how old is it (it being the model of card)?
[09:21] <speeddemon8803> heh, guess that wasnt the right command either, glad i did it on myself first ;)
[09:21] <erUSUL> karllenz: boot in recovery mode then try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[09:21] <karllenz> ok
[09:21] <karllenz> ill try that
[09:21] <speeddemon8803> !recovery > karllenz
[09:22] <compwiz18> karllenz: if your card is too new, ubuntu won't be able to detect it
[09:22] <speeddemon8803> if you dont know how, ubotu just private messaged you with it :)
[09:22] <Sinister> i cant find in the settings where you can set your monotor off after like 30 min of being idle anyone know where its at in kde
[09:22] <karllenz> ok booting into recovery mode
[09:22] <harmental> dgjones: the tabs are "Shotcut Schemes", "Command Shortcuts" and "Modify Keys"....i see no dvorjak
[09:23] <compwiz18> karllenz: what model is your card?
[09:23] <speeddemon8803> karllenz, note that the bot said "alternative install cd"...hopefully thats the one your using?
[09:24] <karllenz> visiontek x1550
[09:24] <karllenz> i used the alt cd yes
[09:24] <VSpike> should ffmpeg be able to read wma files?
[09:24] <VSpike> I can play them with amarok so I must have some wma codecs installed
[09:24] <speeddemon8803> Good deal karllenz :)
[09:25] <karllenz> ok i ran the command
[09:25] <karllenz> dpkg
[09:25] <dgjones> harmental, have a look at this, maybe it'll explain it a bit clearer than I did, I'm not on ubuntu at the minute so I can't talk you through it http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy/TipsAndTricks#How_to_add_keyboard_layouts_for_other_languages - About 2/3rds of the way down is a heading " How to type extended characters"
[09:25] <karllenz> everything says o
[09:25] <karllenz> ok
[09:26] <harmental> dgjones: thx!!
[09:26] <karllenz> now im restarting
[09:27] <compwiz18> karllenz: it would appear your card is old enough to be supported by the drivers in Ubuntu
[09:27] <karllenz> i should not have to rescue the system its a fresh install
[09:28] <karllenz> lets see if i put my old nvidia card in and see if it boot
[09:28] <karllenz> i bet it will
[09:28] <compwiz18> karllenz: if Ubuntu is set to use the ATI driver, you won't get any love from that nvidia card :)
[09:29] <dgjones> harmental, on the keyboard screen, you should have a tab called "Layouts" that should let you change the keyboard layout
[09:29] <neil_d> I have found what looks like a bug with the python gtk.glade module, I generated a glade file with glade 3.4.0, using a 'gnome date' widget, I set it to not display the time widgets.  But when I loaded it with python the time widgets where there.  see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56709/  can someone confirm this please ?
[09:29] <karllenz> idk what to do then i get nothing from ati after a frsh install using the alt cd
[09:29] <compwiz18> karllenz: did your run the dpkg-reconfigure command listed above?
[09:29] <harmental> dgjones: i think i found it....however...Shouldnt i choose Layout : "France" fr....im using a french keyboard
[09:30] <s0ulstice__> karllenz, you know you want to ditch the ati for nvidia....
[09:30] <karllenz> es i did
[09:30] <dgjones> harmental, i would guess yes, but I'm not certain, I only ever use a uk style keyboard
[09:30] <compwiz18> karllenz: what video driver did you choose?
[09:31] <karllenz> i didnt chose any driver
[09:31] <karllenz> yet
[09:31] <karllenz> i never booted into the actualy desktop
[09:31] <karllenz> ok nvidia install still same problem
[09:31] <karllenz> ill try reinstalling
[09:31] <pusoicafe> guys i got problem: i hav a dual boot OS xp and ubuntu 7.10 but after i reinstalled xp it wont boot to xp is this the problem of boot loader of ubuntu?
[09:32] <karllenz> is it possible to use both cards with ubuntu at the same time
[09:32] <compwiz18> pusoicafe: is GRUB still installed?
[09:32] <karllenz> cuz i have my tv connected using the ati card
[09:32] <harmental> dgjones: the deadkey is in Layout Variant? i have only have a "sundeadkey" option...
[09:32] <compwiz18> karllenz: I know nothing about graphics cards, but can you install both of them at the same time?
[09:33] <pusoicafe> compwiz18: ya but after the reinstallation of xp it wont boot to xp or i cannot find to choose to boot to xp
[09:33] <karllenz> ok loading live cd with nvida card installed and main monitor running from it
[09:34] <dgjones> harmental, when i was selecting, i just had "Internatinal with dead keys", I'm not sure what to suggest, maybe its because you're using a french keyboard thats bringing different options up
[09:34] <harmental> arrghhh
[09:34] <s0ulstice__> karllenz, Im not positive, but I highly doubt you can use them both at the same time, the only possibility i can think of is having them installed at the same time, but not in use, and even that sounds questionable to me... even SLI requires very strict parameters to work properly
[09:34] <compwiz18> pusoicafe: you'll probably want to reinstall grub, although that may not help
[09:34] <compwiz18> !grub | pusoicafe
[09:34] <ubotu> pusoicafe: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:34] <karllenz> wtf live cd boots with the nvidia card
[09:35] <harmental> dgjones: you saw that under "Keyboard Model"?
[09:35] <s0ulstice__> karllenz, see nvidia = good ati = bad
[09:35] <pusoicafe> ubotu: gonna chek now
[09:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gonna chek now - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:35] <compwiz18> pusoicafe: ubotu is the bot :)
[09:35] <s0ulstice__> pusoicafe, I think it is just a bootloader error
[09:35] <s0ulstice__> pusoicafe, what are the symptoms again
[09:35] <karllenz> stiil the only way i can connect my tv is through a port on my ati card
[09:35] <compwiz18> s0ulstice__: thats not entirely true, my ati card works fine
[09:36] <dgjones> harmental, i can't remember which it was under, once the keyboard settings screen was up, I only had a couple of tabs & options to chose from
[09:36] <VSpike> how can i transcode wma to ogg?
[09:36] <s0ulstice__> compwiz18, I know, but I am highly partial to nvidia because of my horrible luck with ati cards
[09:36] <Tyczek> I have question about Fglrx... The XV seems not work to me. The fullscreen doesn't scale movie at all and there are pixels
[09:36] <VSpike> And should k3b support wma?
[09:36] <karllenz> what i will try tho is reinstalling now using the nvidia card
[09:37] <karllenz> but still keeping the ati card installed on the pc
[09:37] <s0ulstice__> compwiz18, not to mention nvidia gave us support long before ati did, before compiz wasn't able to work with ati
[09:37] <pusoicafe> soulstice_: i cannot see the wondows xp option in boot up
[09:37] <karllenz> then messing around with it once the system is installed
[09:37] <s0ulstice__> pusoicafe, what did you install first?
[09:37] <s0ulstice__> pusoicafe, did you install xp then ubuntu?
[09:38] <compwiz18> s0ulstice__: I don't use compiz, so I guess that doesn't really apply to me, but for most intents, ati cards are supported fine (and compiz works now :)
[09:38] <pusoicafe> soulstice_: i did the dual boot xp first then ubuntu 7.10 then when everything is finished i go to xp and then wham i hav hal dll errors or something so i reinstalled xp then i got no xp to choose after reinstalling
[09:39] <s0ulstice__> compwiz18, very true .. I have been damaged mostly by the all-in-wonder series cards years ago.. windows incompatibilities galore with those cards
[09:40] <compwiz18> s0ulstice__: I've only used linux for ~3 years, so I have no idea about the situation before then
[09:40] <s0ulstice__> pusoicafe, but you are able to boot to linux though correct?
[09:40] <pusoicafe> soulstice_: ya but not to xp it hides maybe
[09:41] <s0ulstice__> compwiz18, Right, well Im talking about windows & ati
[09:41] <s0ulstice__> pusoicafe, Ok, you just have to tell grub to update (which unfortunately means reinstalling it)
[09:41] <dik> loo
[09:42] <pusoicafe> soulstice_: do we hav guide for that reinstallation of grub?
[09:42] <compwiz18> !grub | pusoicafe
[09:42] <ubotu> pusoicafe: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:42] <karllenz> do i have to have a swap partiotion for linux
[09:42] <s0ulstice__> pusoicafe, Because when you reinstalled windows, the information changed that grub had.. although I am surprised this didn't cause a grub boot error
[09:42] <compwiz18> karllenz: how much ram do you have?
[09:42] <dik> hello does anyone know how to install a ai radeon hd 2900 xt on ubuntu as im stuck
[09:42] <karllenz> 2gigs
[09:43] <karllenz> sry 1gig
[09:43] <compwiz18> karllenz: you want a swap partition then
[09:43] <pusoicafe> soulstice_: k be back later
[09:43] <s0ulstice__> karllenz, Im not sure if you MUST have it, but it is a good idea.. You can actually use thumb drives as a swap drive apparently
[09:43] <karllenz> ok well how do i install ubuntu now leaving room and the ability to install windows next to dual boot
[09:44] <s0ulstice__> karllenz, I highly recommend installing windows first and making your partitions before you do that
[09:44] <compwiz18> karllenz: you really should install windows first, makes it a lot easier
[09:44] <s0ulstice__> karllenz, that is assuming you still want windows ;-p
[09:45] <karllenz> well i want my ati card to work no matter wat
[09:45] <karllenz> so i must use it

[10:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gd2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:37] <vircuser> I'd like to build a software raid5 with encryption and benchmark it; i.e. see how much performance is lost through encryption and see if the cpu or anything else is the bottleneck
[10:38] <vircuser> i'm sure people did this before me, but i can't find any benchmakrs on the net :(
[10:38] <dade> giorno
[10:38] <HinHin> hmm... i saw some specialised cards that handle encrpytion purposes
[10:39] <HinHin> that might help the load on the system
[10:39] <vircuser> i'd like to have it all insoftware, so the raid is portable
[10:39] <HinHin> XD... on the other hand they might be expensive
[10:39] <vircuser> and i'm thinking with mult-core cpus on the rise the system should be able to handle it
[10:40] <vircuser> just not sure - so i'd like some benchmarks ;)
[10:40] <compengi> erUSUL, could you give me a further look on how to use this command?
[10:40] <Trashlord> Hi, can anyone give me a page where I can view all of the Ubuntu bash commands please?

If I boot it with the laptop lid closed, gdm starts up in 1680x1050, as it is supposed to do, but everything is shown in a 1024x768 part of my screen. I can move my cursor to the other parts of the screen, but it doesn't use it. Gnome is strange too. It also has it's pannels around a 1024x768 area of my screen, while I can move the lower bar
[10:56] <nios> hey how can i disable the beep sounds ?
[10:56] <ichbinesderelch> nios: disable sound notifications somewhere in gnome menu? ;)

[10:58] <adrien> it seems that CURSES cannot be initilaized (xubuntu 7.10) any idea?
[10:59] <s_unix> hello
[10:59] <adrien> hi
[10:59] <wers> in my startup programs, one app has no name or description. the code happens to be /usr/bin/cod. do you know what app it is? should I disable it?
[10:59] <vircuser> Anyone know how to change the $ to a Euro sign for currency in the KDE control panel?
[10:59] <adrien> can you see it as a text file ?
[11:00] <s_unix> nios: xset -b
[11:00] <Symmetria> vircuser: yeah, take the number next to the dollar sign and divide  it by a couple of times, it will happen automatically :p
[11:00] <Symmetria> (just kidding)
[11:01] <vircuser> you do know that 1 Euro ~ 1.5 USD right ;)
[11:01] <bashca> hi there  how run zte AC8700 modem on ubuntu ???
[11:02] <bob_1904> has ubuntu not brought up a 'proprietary' driver dialogue?
[11:02] <vircuser> so that's why I'd prefer the Euro sign next to my income figure - just don't know how to type it :P
[11:03]  * syc_ off
[11:04] <ncho> ???
[11:04] <bashca> please  any 1 can help
[11:04] <adrien> ask
[11:04] <ncho> 大家好吖
[11:04] <vircuser> never heard of that modem
[11:04] <adrien> me neither, let me check the web
[11:05] <bob_1904> for the euro sign, just install msttcorefonts, then head to insert > special charracter
[11:05] <bullgard4> What is the purpose of the file /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic/scripts/kconfig/mconf.c?~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~

[11:05] <ncho> 你不是好情人！
[11:05] <bob_1904> (on OpenOffice.org)
[11:05] <bashca> adrien, i need to use zte ac8700 mdsl usb modem with ubuntu ??
[11:06] <bashca> !???
[11:06] <bascule> bullgard4: it's language stuff
[11:06] <vircuser> hmm, bu there is no "Insert" menu item in the KDE control module
[11:07] <bascule> vircuser: in kcharselect
[11:07] <bullgard4> bascule: Can you elaborate.
[11:07] <adrien> what does the command  'dmesg' tells you when the modem is plugged in ?
[11:07] <bob_1904> (I'm assuming you're using OpenOffice.org word processor)
[11:07] <adrien> (in the terminal)
[11:07] <bashca> adrien, i got error 71
[11:08] <bashca> but lsusb Bus 001 Device 021: ID 05c6:6000 Qualcomm, Inc.
[11:08] <bascule> bullgard4: actually I misread, I have no idea, looks like a back-up though
[11:08] <bullgard4> hm
[11:08] <adrien> i see there are no drivers for this modem...
[11:08] <bashca> adrien, [ 8182.360000] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
[11:08] <bascule> bullgard4: open it ...
[11:08] <vircuser> so there is no "easy" way to type the euro character anywhere (be it terminal, config app etc.)?
[11:09] <lvlaTr1X> hello, im looking to change my os to ubuntu but i have some concern over application installation
[11:09] <lvlaTr1X> will my games which work for window, work on ubuntu?
[11:09] <bashca> adrien, ??
[11:09] <lvlaTr1X> eg. COD4 , crysis?
[11:09] <adrien> yes?
[11:09] <adrien> bashca?
[11:09] <lvlaTr1X> is it even compatible to begin with?
[11:09] <bullgard4> lvlaTr1X: As a rule they will not.
[11:09] <lapisdecor> vir, Alt Gr + E
[11:09] <vircuser> Cause I need a way to do this and then need to explain it to computer laymen with just a basic Ubuntu installation from the disk
[11:10] <dgjones> !wow | lvlaTr1X, some games will work under wine, there might be some with native linux installers,
[11:10] <ubotu> lvlaTr1X, some games will work under wine, there might be some with native linux installers,: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[11:10] <AliTarihi> Hi! Does anyone know about the problem of Nvidia Driver and Hibernate/Suspend?
[11:10] <lvlaTr1X> bullgard4: oh.. hmm...
[11:10] <vircuser> i think there is a unreal tournament 2k3 version for linux
[11:10] <praveenm_> hi all, how to make a new ext3 partition rw?
[11:10] <dgjones> !wine | lvlaTr1X, you could have a look at the wine application database
[11:10] <ubotu> lvlaTr1X, you could have a look at the wine application database: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[11:11] <lvlaTr1X> oh.. hmm.. but what about other application for eg. msn messenger?
[11:11] <bashca> adrien, how can resolve driver matter ??
[11:11] <lapisdecor> lvlaTr1X: If someone offered you a Mac, would you be worried about games? :D
[11:11] <lvlaTr1X> lapisdecor: YES.. LOL
[11:12] <adrien> bashca I am looking at an interesting page, I just cant find the info wait
[11:12] <lvlaTr1X> i'm in the game industry, so ya, my life mostly revolve about game
[11:12] <lapisdecor> To play games I bought a Wii
[11:12] <lvlaTr1X> i have a wii, xbox360 and ps3
[11:12] <lvlaTr1X> :X
[11:12] <vircuser> Matrix, there are ubuntu programs for programs like messengers
[11:12] <lvlaTr1X> not trying to boast or any sort
[11:12] <lvlaTr1X> hmm
[11:12] <lvlaTr1X> cool..
[11:12] <bashca> ok
[11:12] <lvlaTr1X> becuz now im actually trying to build up a comp
[11:12] <vircuser> but MSN messenger might work with wine
[11:12] <lvlaTr1X> still deciding which OS to go with
[11:12] <nicc> Hey guys. I've got a problem, hopefully someone can help. I've got 4GB RAM on my laptop, but Ubuntu only sees 3GB. I've read up on it, and switched to the server kernel which has PAE enabled, and it sees all 4GB now. Problem is that server kernel has no support for NVIDIA, and Im guessing I'll hit other compatibility problems later, so I want to recompile a vanilla kernel with PAE enabled. My question: where can I get specific source for cur
[11:13] <vircuser> try to get a cheap harddisk, replace it and just test ubuntu
[11:13] <bascule> kernel.org
[11:13] <lapisdecor> lvlaTr1X: anyway you have lots of games (free games) in linux, so why not try some? they are great
[11:13] <vircuser> you can actually test many things witout installing anything
[11:13] <vircuser> just boot from the CD
[11:13] <lapisdecor> and they are free
[11:14] <vircuser> the big game companies make games mostly for windows though..
[11:14] <vircuser> for those you need to hope that wine can handle it
[11:14] <bob_1904> you could use cedega - but will actually cost you money
[11:14] <wild_oscar> could anyone indicate me if there is a repository with the latest Openoffice version?
