[03:54] <genii> hacked_kernel: You will need to boot to the livecd and then modify the system from that.
[03:54] <anakao> hi all, how many ram to use compiz fusion?
[03:54] <GNine> predaeus, glx is loaded on bootup
[03:54] <ccooke> HelloMeow: ah, here we go
[03:54] <ccooke> HelloMeow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/CanonPixmaIP2200
[03:54] <genii> hacked_kernel: That, or just reinstall if you haven't done much to the system yet
[03:54] <drhum> is this short enough warbler?
[03:54] <IntuitiveNipple> GNine: Does " cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | awk '$0 ~ /Load/ {print $0}'" show ' Load "glx"  ' ?
[03:55] <ccooke> HelloMeow: Look at thatr link - it should be everything you need. It certainly claims to be :-)
[03:55] <predaeus> GNine, does "glxinfo | grep vendor" report NVIDIA in all 3 lines of output?
[03:55] <drhum> okay i chose vesa... and going on
[03:55] <taffy-nay_> anakao: 512 mb does me by
[03:55] <hacked_kernel> genii, should I change 1000:1000 to 0:0 again from the live cd ?
[03:55] <HelloMeow> Thanks alot, ccooke. This definitely helps
[03:55] <warbler> steel_lady: I started without even knowing about chat but got there & gave up windows years ago - you can do it- reading will be a common past time tho!
[03:56] <drhum> it asks for the video card's bus identifier.... i will leave it unchanged: PCI:1:0:0 ?
[03:56] <ccooke> HelloMeow: No problem
[03:56] <warbler> drtum: yaaaaaa!
[03:56] <genii> hacked_kernel: It is not so simple now. You will not be able to run vipw from the livecd onto the old system. we wiull need to directly edit a file
[03:56] <anakao> taffy-nay: thx
[03:56] <IntuitiveNipple> predaeus: He doesn't get a result from glxinfo - he gets " extension glx missing on display 0.0   -  couldnt find RGB visual" which points to glx not being loaded, or having a problem
[03:56] <predaeus> IntuitiveNipple, ic thanks for the info.
[03:56] <drhum> it asks "use framebuffer device interface"? i did that but it crashed so... i will choose no?
[03:57] <taffy-nay_> anakao: mp
[03:57] <taffy-nay_> *np
[03:57] <PureEvilGeek> whats the difficulty level of joining a ubuntu desktop to an AD domain? and are there any features that will be missing?
[03:57] <praet> brad_: try this: lsmod | grep r8169
[03:57] <steel_lady> warbler, sometimes it is not just that I am new, it is that there are many difficult problems unresolved. there are some major bugs that are not letting me install programs or  update to feisty and I can not reinstall the system every time it snaps
[03:57] <drhum> autodetect keyboard layout = no
[03:57] <drhum> XKB rule set to use: xorg
[03:58] <RadicalME> how to install cdstatus (downloaded the gzipped file from sourceforge.org, and unzipped to /home/user/cdstatus)
[03:58] <praet> tatters: thats the right file.
[03:58] <drhum> pc105 as the keyboard model= is this ok?
[03:58] <warbler> steel_lady: upgrade to feisty is very recommended - glad to give the very basic instructions to help.
[03:58] <predaeus> GNine, what nvidia card do you run and what drivers have you installed?
[03:59] <drhum> warbler...
[03:59] <drhum> it is even asking my mouse protocol.... how the hell i know*?
[03:59] <brad_> praet: that displays the following "r8169 32392 0"
[03:59] <IntuitiveNipple> predaeus: We're still awaiting his reply to that... so far all he says is "nvidia" and "glx". He seems to lack precision in answering :)
[03:59] <warbler> drtum: yep still reading - was going to say listening... I'm here
[04:00] <drhum> ImPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2?
[04:00] <tatters> praet: I new to linux my TV card is being detected fine and works as long as I use "xawtv -nodga" it seems the major problem is my webcam causing the error when running xawtv -hwscan, as I have no v4l module to comment out do you have any other idea/suggestion that might be causing this problem
[04:00] <warbler> drtum: mouse is 3 button
[04:00] <GNine> i take it there is no standard solution.  ill do some reading and figure it out myself.  thank you for your cooperation. i have the jumpstart i wanted
[04:00] <drhum> yes ok
[04:00] <warbler> drtum: nick helps
[04:01] <drhum> warbler: it asks which modules to enable.... i will enable ALL, ok?
[04:01] <predaeus> IntuitiveNipple, yup, but I guess that it all boils down to being the wrong drivers. He/she would just not admit the mistake.
[04:01] <warbler> modules for...
[04:01] <IntuitiveNipple> GNine: The solution is to install the nvidia drivers correctly and ensure your xorg.conf is correct, by looking at the Ubuntu Wiki guides
[04:01] <rafaelscj> my laptop don't turn back after stand by, how do I fix it?
[04:01] <warbler> drtum: modules for...
[04:01] <genii> hacked_kernel: In this case it would just be much simpler to tell you to reinstall the system, and not to use "root" as the first username you create. Something sane like "user" would be good.
[04:01] <praet> tatters: not really sure.
[04:01] <drhum> warbler: X.Org server modules that should be loaded by default: bitmap, dbe, ddc, dri, extmod....
[04:01] <mvip> has anyone managed to configure Wine to use the buil-in native PostScript driver? (not cups)
[04:01] <smallfoot-> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgCtrlAltBackspace
[04:01] <IntuitiveNipple> predaeus: Indeed, it sounds that way
[04:02] <smallfoot-> i heard you will remove ctrl+alt+backspace
[04:02] <smallfoot-> why not just change it to ctrl+alt+shift+backspace? nobody will press that by accident
[04:02] <NET||abuse> Paddy_EIRE, tried it all,, still no joy :( i don't know what to do now..
[04:02] <drhum> warbler?
[04:02] <praet> brad_: what does sudo ethtool eth0  return?
[04:02] <gordonjcp> The functionality provided by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace should rarely be needed, and if it is then the same function can be executed from a console.
[04:03] <drhum> warbler: X.Org server modules that should be loaded by default: bitmap, dbe, ddc, dri, extmod....
[04:03] <gordonjcp> EHHNNNT EHHNNNT EHHNNNT
[04:03] <warbler> drtum: some will be selected. Can select more if you want but that never works for me - I suspect the ones checked are the ones supported
[04:03] <GNine> could i be able to play DVDs if the drivers were incorrectly installed?
[04:03] <gordonjcp> WARNING - BONEHEADED ASSUMPTION
[04:03] <predaeus> smallfoot-, I bet you will be able to re-enable that functionality if you need to.
[04:03] <gordonjcp> the main reason why you'd use CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE is because you can't get a shell working
[04:03] <drhum> but all are checked now...
[04:03] <gordonjcp> or indeed any other X app
[04:04] <Davy_Jones> is there a paltalk client for ubuntu?
[04:04] <IntuitiveNipple> gordonjcp: In that case you'd use Ctrl+Alt+SysReq+K then!
[04:04] <rafaelscj> I can't turn my laptop back after stand by, How do I fix it?
[04:04] <praet> brad_: try 'ifconfig -a'
[04:04] <lee_p> i am building a custom live cd + installer for a school project::: ubiquity is hanging on step 6 and will not install is there some thing i am missing??
[04:04] <gordonjcp> IntuitiveNipple: yeah, that's a great idea
[04:04] <warbler> steel_lady: gksu update-manager-c in terminal to upgrade to feisty
[04:04] <Davy_Jones> !paltalk
[04:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about paltalk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:04] <gordonjcp> IntuitiveNipple: break well-documented behaviour in favour of some random thing
[04:05] <praet> brad_: if a device name shows up (like eth0) then the linux driver is loaded. use ifconfig eth0 to activate it
[04:05] <Davy_Jones> IntuitiveNipple: o_O is that key combination real?
[04:05] <drhum> anyhow, i finished.... rebooting....
[04:05] <Davy_Jones> IntuitiveNipple: cuz i would need my foot too do it
[04:05] <kekk> MythTV installed some windows fonts and uninstalling mythtv kept them I think. how to remove those ugly fonts?
[04:05] <gordonjcp> CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE doesn't do anything in XP
[04:05] <viktor_> i can't get 60Hz at 1280x1024 i only get 54Hz my nvidia driver is correlctly installed any help ?
[04:05] <praet> kekk: fonts should be in /usr/share/fonts
[04:06] <gordonjcp> so it's unlikely that people are going to hit it "accidentally"
[04:06] <kekk> thanks praet
[04:06] <IntuitiveNipple> Davy_Jones: There's a whole bunch of SysReq key sequences :)
[04:06] <GNine> viktor, i run the same resolution on nvidia-glx ..
[04:06] <GNine> at 60hz
[04:06] <NET||abuse> GOd this sucks,, Some one please help me fix my flash sound? Please??? I've tried installing from package, installing the 2 files into plugins from tarball, tried using alsa-oss, tried making links in /usr/lib/flashplugin/ ,,, anything else i can try?
[04:07] <NET||abuse> I've also tried gnash,
[04:07] <viktor_> GNine, in resolution switcher i only have 50,54 no 60
[04:07] <warbler> drtum:nick
[04:07] <Davy_Jones> IntuitiveNipple: what does that combination do again?
[04:07] <viktor_> GNine, at 54 picture is unstable
[04:07] <IntuitiveNipple> viktor_: Is it a flat-panel or a CRT ?
[04:07] <steel_lady> warbler, sometimes it is not just that I am new, it is that there are many difficult problems unresolved. there are some major bugs that are not letting me install programs or  update to feisty and I can not reinstall the system every time it snaps
[04:07] <NET||abuse> i Have to get flash sound back or i'll just be well miffed off ,, so much so as to venture into doing all my browsing through a windows virtual machine.. and how sucky would that be.
[04:07] <IntuitiveNipple> Davy_Jones: It's the SAK sequence
[04:07] <viktor_> IntuitiveNipple, Fujitsu Siemens H19-1 LCD
[04:08] <GNine> my monitor can support that natively.. can yours?
[04:08] <steel_lady> warbler, it says update-manager-c: command not found
[04:08] <predaeus> viktor_, you could try to change the resolution setting in xorg.conf to 1280x1024_60 if you know what you are doing, as always make backups of system config files and read up on them.
[04:08] <Davy_Jones> IntuitiveNipple: i did it out of stupidity and my desktop icons disappeared
[04:08] <smallfoot-> 60 ghz sucks, use 100 hz
[04:08] <smallfoot-> 60 hz*
[04:08] <warbler> steel_lady: do you want to update to feisty - it's recommended for better support
[04:08] <GNine> matter-of-fact, i couldnt choose 54hz even if i wanted to..
[04:08] <smallfoot-> 60 hz flicker like a bitch
[04:08] <rafaelscj> I can't turn my laptop back after stand by, what should I do?

[04:09] <trypglyph> @seen PFA
[04:09] <GNine> 60hz is default for most monitor types , specially LCD.. running 100hz is a lil out of line
[04:10] <hacked_kernel> genii, bad news, this system is virtual on xen so i can't use the live cd
[04:10] <smallfoot-> they should make LCD with 100 hz too
[04:10] <smallfoot-> heck, make them 1000 hz
[04:10] <smallfoot-> 60 hz is old tech, its 1890 when electricity invented lol
[04:10] <RadicalME> umm i need help guys.. i wanna re-record some mp3 files to ogg or FLAC files.. what program should i use?
[04:10] <VSpike> 60Hz is fine on an LCD. but painful on CRT
[04:11] <genii> hacked_kernel: Well, sory then. You will have to reinstall.
[04:11] <trypglyph> that's because an LCD doesn't have a physical refresh rate
[04:11] <trypglyph> it is constant.
[04:11] <smallfoot-> RadicalME, transcoding sucks, dont encode from a lossy format to another, and dont encode from a lossy format to a lossless
[04:11] <genii> hacked_kernel: Please learn from this.
[04:11] <steel_lady> warbler, of course but it ignores it
[04:11] <trypglyph> anything below 70hz on a CRT will make you get headaches.
[04:11] <GNine> yah.. the half life of your monitor just went down 50% running that high
[04:11] <warbler> steel_lady: min
[04:12] <RadicalME> can rythmbox play mp3 then?
[04:12] <hacked_kernel> genii, Its a hug lesson, unfortunately i can't reinstall the system it holds important data in my company
[04:12] <smallfoot-> think so
[04:12] <VSpike> RadicalME: there is a program to do just what you want - read about it somewhere recently, but can't remember where.. let me look
[04:12] <smallfoot-> RadicalME, encode from CD to OGG or FLAC is good :)
[04:12] <praet> RadicalME: install the gtstreamer plugin for the codec
[04:12] <smallfoot-> RadicalME, but encode from CD to MP3 then to Ogg of FLAC is dumb
[04:12] <kdub432> RadicalME: use vlc. the command vlc -vvv file.mp3 --sout '#transcode{acodec=ogg}:std{access=file, mux=ts, dst="/home/user/file.ogg"}' should work (if memory serves)

[04:13] <mnk> hello all - how can i find out a package version using apt-get pls?
[04:13] <hacked_kernel> genii, what do you think of mounting that img and editing the passwd file?

[04:14] <praet> brad_: are you getting an ip address from your router / isp?
[04:14] <warbler> steel_lady: I couldn't either - I got a dbus error - you got no error
[04:14] <Davy_Jones> i got a friend of mine who strongly believed that taking a low-quality real player file and converting it to a high-bit-rate mp3 file improves its quality
[04:14] <mnk> hello all - how can i find out a package version using apt-get pls?
[04:14] <warbler> *?
[04:14] <brad_> my router is setup as a DHCP server
[04:14] <kdub432> haha, Davy_Jones
[04:14] <sipior> Davy_Jones: tell him he needs gold-plated connectors for that to work :-)
[04:14] <wolferine> mnk aptitude search key_word

[04:15] <GNine> i also found out that a 128 bit mp3 and a 192 bit OGG are roughly the same size
[04:15] <Polysics> hi-fi is a tricky subject
[04:15] <warbler> drhum:?
[04:15] <Polysics> i've come to the conclusion most of it is religion

[04:16] <elkbuntu> JimQode, how far up do i need to read?
[04:16] <WaltzingAlong> GNine: how important is filesize?
[04:17] <JimQode> sipior, elkbuntu really sorry for bothering, it was a mistake.
[04:17] <WaltzingAlong> GNine: i would think that 128cbr would be smaller than a 192cbr file in either mp3, ogg, or any other
[04:17] <steel_lady> warbler. so I can not update my system, it refuses installing programs but I can not run it over. will there be chance to make it up in the future or it will stay this way?
[04:17] <elkbuntu> JimQode, ok, just remember that the ops call is for emergencies only
[04:17] <brad_> praet: I dont see a connections properties option
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks anyway guys...
[04:18] <GNine> file size is not the issue.. quality is .. the higher the bit rate the larger the end file.  so, you get more quality on OGG with the same file size as an mp3
[04:18] <ljg> ?
[04:18] <praet> brad_: ok in a terminal, type  'ifconfig -a |less'
[04:18] <VSpike> RadicalME: http://box.zapto.org/software/dirogg.php is one example, but I don't think it was the one I was looking for
[04:18] <warbler> steel_lady: I think that time of day is the issue - could  be wrong - no reason not to be able to upgrade - let me check for alternates
[04:18] <RadicalME> o.o my rythmbox playlist totaly f****d up..
[04:19] <VSpike> RadicalME: http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=convert%20ogg%20mp3
[04:19] <GNine> in other words, a 4mb ogg can have a higher quality than a same size mp3
[04:19] <pawan> hi
[04:19] <RadicalME> why doesnt this thing remove stuff from my rythmbox library.. o.o
[04:20] <boomh4u3r> Does anyone know if there is a Steam client available?
[04:20] <WaltzingAlong> GNine: yes i understand how it works. but you reported that a 128bit mp3 and the 192bit ogg are the same size...cannot be cbr then
[04:20] <RadicalME> boomh4u3r: i dont think so :P
[04:20] <boomh4u3r> RadicalME, damn (:
[04:20] <brad_> praet: OK
[04:20] <predaeus> boomh4u3r, I think steam runs fine under wine though.
[04:20] <GNine> i said roughly the same size.. i speak in proportional (relative) terms
[04:20] <Bakefy> Is there a way I can change the apsect ratios avaliable with the terminal server client?
[04:21] <boomh4u3r> predaeus, oh I'm new to linux..whats wine?
[04:21] <boomh4u3r> predaeus, lol
[04:21] <predaeus> !wine | boomh4u3r
[04:21] <steel_lady> warbler, I am living with thet problem for a month now
[04:21] <ubotu> boomh4u3r: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:21] <Davy_Jones> wine is something you have to consume after you use linux :P
[04:21] <RadicalME> how yo remove songs from your LIBRARY in rythmbox?
[04:21] <smallfoot-> GnarlyBob, you do 128bit mp3 convert to 192bit ogg? you know nothing about what youre doing
[04:21] <boomh4u3r> lol
[04:21] <boomh4u3r> predaeus, thx :)
[04:22] <Davy_Jones> RadicalME: delete key?
[04:22] <WaltzingAlong> GNine: if the items were encoded using a constant bit rate, a 128cbr mp3 is the same size as a 128cbr ogg vorbis
[04:22] <RadicalME> Davy_Jones, doesnt work
[04:22] <warbler> steel_lady: found a site to help - http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2007/05/15/parallels-tip-upgrading-to-ubuntu-feisty-from-edgy/
[04:22] <boomh4u3r> predaeus, is this hard to set up or run?
[04:22] <GNine> suit yourself..  am not talking about cbr
[04:23] <RadicalME> oh i just saw that the shortcut to edit:remove is gone o.o
[04:23] <Davy_Jones> RadicalME: don't know.. why do you need a program to organize your music... i just put the albums in separate folders
[04:23] <mnk> can anyone pls tell me how to do a pure remote ubuntu server install? ie without a boot disk / cd rom?
[04:23] <predaeus> boomh4u3r, no, but I did not venture far into the land of wine. But I often heard that people are playing Half-life2 under wine and that Steam works too.
[04:23] <Davy_Jones> not so hard
[04:23] <brad_> praet: Yep what am i looking for?
[04:23] <mnk> or point me to a url pls?
[04:23] <RadicalME> i did that too.. but i like to have the albums sorted in my library too
[04:24] <RadicalME> but somehow nellyfurtados loose screwed up and changed into 2 albums..
[04:24] <GNine> however.. they still shouldnt be the same size
[04:24] <GNine> :-P
[04:24] <boomh4u3r> predaeus, cool.Well than I'll check it out..thanks again
[04:24] <predaeus> boomh4u3r, there is a software compatiblity table on the wine site. There you will see what programs are expected to run fine.
[04:24] <hacked_kernel> genii, you there
[04:24] <boblucen> dfg
[04:24] <boomh4u3r> predaeus, k thx
[04:24] <warbler> drhum: ?

[04:24] <boblucen> bye
[04:25] <GNine> maybe i hacked a way of getting different result on my end, WaltzingAlong
[04:25] <mohamed_afk> hi, i install ltsp server and when i boot from another a client i got this error PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout anyone can help ?
[04:25] <GNine> heh
[04:25] <Davy_Jones> RadicalME: i'm sure removing a file from a library isn't that hard.. did you try right-click?
[04:25] <Davy_Jones> RadicalME: if it isn't that simple, screw rythmbox
[04:25] <WaltzingAlong> WaltzingAlong: it is possible, no doubt, but using average bitrate or nominal bitrate
[04:25] <RadicalME> its gone already :P
[04:25] <arran> sup fans
[04:25] <Davy_Jones> good
[04:26] <RadicalME> you just cant right click albums
[04:26] <WaltzingAlong> GNine: but you already claimed that size was not so important. so can you tell the difference in quality? and were you going from original source -> vorbis or converting from lossy mp3 to vorbis?
[04:26] <arran> whats the best ssh password cracker??
[04:26] <arran> anyone know?
[04:26] <GNine> i like OGG.  i use mp3 only cuz my car cd player dont accept ogg
[04:26] <WaltzingAlong> phishing
[04:26] <hacked_kernel> genii, The problem is solved by mounting the img and editing passwd, thank you
[04:26] <GNine> heheh
[04:27] <WaltzingAlong> GNine: what is your player?
[04:27] <steel_lady> warbler, my problem is that when i start to upgrade according to oficial instructions, it comes to the point where it says: unable to fetch...
[04:27] <GNine> a sony
[04:27] <predaeus> RadicalME, there is similar programs like rythmbox, just try each one of them. I forgot the names though...

[04:29] <WaltzingAlong> GNine: :) and which point did you want  to make? just about the sizes?
[04:29] <arran> whats the best ssh password cracker??
[04:29] <GNine> sound difference is not noticeable in great extent but it does have a nicer sound definition
[04:29] <WaltzingAlong> mnk: get the right cd
[04:30] <mnk> WaltzingAlong: what do u mean?
[04:30] <Davy_Jones> arran: probably #hack or #politics
[04:30] <RadicalME> i think arran is feeling quite ignored by now :P

[04:30] <HLM> arran: try your local police department  ;-)
[04:30] <mnk> WaltzingAlong: how would i boot into the installer and then where would i put the cd iso?
[04:30] <WaltzingAlong> mnk: i mean the alternate cd or the server cd
[04:30] <WaltzingAlong> mnk: as opposed to the livecd
[04:30] <warbler> steel_lady: I lost a bittorrent for gutsy for 4 hours. The servers get busy. Leave it till much later & let it go overnight
[04:30] <WaltzingAlong> mnk: as opposed to the livecd or desktop one
[04:30] <marmer> i've a problem with my new usb drive samsung yp-u3
[04:31] <WaltzingAlong> GNine: have you tried speex for talk audio?
[04:31] <mnk> WaltzingAlong: redhat have a boot disk that u can boot off that image - then it allows u to do an ftp install - can ubuntu installer do that too?
[04:31] <ubuntu_> opa

[04:31] <WaltzingAlong> mnk: there are several guides for booting, for example, to computers without cdrom drives
[04:32] <GNine> what do you mean by appropriate?  sound like proprietary
[04:32] <GNine> lol
[04:32] <mnk> WaltzingAlong: do u know of a good one? :)
[04:32] <Davy_Jones> marmer: try googling linux flash howto
[04:33] <WaltzingAlong> Davy_Jones: unfortunately using google does not work for everyone
[04:33] <Dougie> how do i scan for wireless networks? I manually enter mine but it won't connect.
[04:33] <WaltzingAlong> Davy_Jones: most of the issue though is that 'everyone' fails to use it
[04:33] <steel_lady> warbler, why do I get this: Failed to fetch http://www.elisanet.fi/mlind/ubuntu/dists/edgy/fonts/binary-i386/Packages.gz 403 Forbidden
[04:33] <GNine> a shame, reading doesnt work for everyone
[04:33] <GNine> lol
[04:33] <WaltzingAlong> Dougie: iwlist eth1 scanning
[04:33] <Davy_Jones> WaltzingAlong: :)
[04:33] <WaltzingAlong> :D
[04:33] <DjViper> Dougie: iwlist eth* scan
[04:33] <DjViper> or just iwlist scan
[04:34] <Dougie> no scan results
[04:34] <mnk> thanks WaltzingAlong
[04:34] <Dougie> does that mean my wireless card is not working correctly?
[04:34] <DjViper> Dougie: is it on? :)
[04:34] <Dougie> yeah its internal
[04:34] <KevinOoO> gnine i can now connect to the remote server
[04:35] <Dougie> desktop internal
[04:35] <WaltzingAlong> mnk: welcome
[04:35] <DjViper> Dougie: hmm is it enabled in bios?
[04:35] <GNine> good deal.  i take it you still dont have a ping on any other machine
[04:35] <drhum> warbler: it just doesn't work
[04:35] <DjViper> Dougie: which chip?
[04:35] <Dougie> yeah its not onboard lol its a pci card
[04:35] <Dougie> broadcom
[04:35] <KevinOoO> gnine i can ping the router and i can ping the machine
[04:35] <drhum> warbler: i think i will reinstall and...... consider changing the distro
[04:36] <steel_lady> warbler, I think I have authentication problem?
[04:36] <DjViper> Dougie: which driver are you using?
[04:36] <Dougie> i didn't install one
[04:36] <DjViper> hm ok
[04:36] <Dougie> it seemed to detect something it self durring install because i have the wireless stuff in networking
[04:36] <GNine> so .. the network is up.. can you see the puters on the network?
[04:36] <WaltzingAlong> drhum: ok
[04:36] <Dougie> maybe it did not install anything though
[04:36] <smallfoot-> Windows vista has encryption and Mac OS X has FileVault, please make encryption for linux!!
[04:36] <drhum> warbler: so i declare Nvidia Geforce 7600 is INCOMPATIBLE WITH UBUNTU :(
[04:36] <WaltzingAlong> drhum: i thought about installing a new brain in my head but i do not have enough upgrade credits for that
[04:36] <smallfoot-> encryption for my porno!
[04:36] <smallfoot-> ENCRYPTION PLEASE
[04:36] <WaltzingAlong> smallfoot-: it exists
[04:37] <smallfoot-> encryption for my secret stufsf
[04:37] <smallfoot-> WaltzingAlong, its not widely used, and needs configuring and tricky stuff, i dont want to mess with config files
[04:37] <DjViper> Dougie: okay, check to see if you have either bcm driver or ndiswrapper installed (driver)
[04:37] <annihilus> anyone know of a good program for recording the sounds form the sound card
[04:37] <Dougie> DjViper, yeah it did. says Broadcom Corporation BCM4306
[04:37] <WaltzingAlong> smallfoot-: ok so you want something other than linux support for encrypted filesystems
[04:37] <Dougie> DjViper, thats what it says in hardware information
[04:38] <warbler> drhum: many have that card & usability - the forums might offer more - but your decision... lol
[04:38] <steel_lady> warbler, I changed from the main server to server in australia and now it looks like working
[04:38] <WaltzingAlong> Dougie: so maybe you would use the bcm43xx driver?
[04:38] <KevinOoO> gnine, i assume so, im on a vista machine right now and i can ping my server as well as connect to it via putty
[04:38] <DjViper> Dougie: ok, goodie, check if you have wpa_supplicant installed (for wpa encrypted networks)
[04:38] <Dougie> DjViper, yeah it's using the bcm43xx driver right now
[04:38] <drhum> warbler: well i spent nearly a week and hours......... and looked in many forums
[04:38] <DjViper> Dougie: okay
[04:38] <steel_lady> warbler, no, again problem with the finnish server
[04:38] <drhum> can you offer one forum? - not the official ubuntu one pls :)
[04:38] <smallfoot-> WaltzingAlong, i want very easy encryption that just works, with little hassle and configuation, just works, easy
[04:38] <Lutz_Ifer> yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha! finally!
[04:38] <Dougie> DjViper, where do i check that?
[04:39] <GNine> but the issue is to be able to do that from the ubuntu machine.
[04:39] <warbler> steel_lady: as an aussie I can only say that that is the least you should have expected! hehe :)
[04:39] <WaltzingAlong> smallfoot-: ok that seems like a better request. now to outline how that should work, in terms of behavior on the user's part for example...then we are getting somewhere
[04:39] <warbler> steel_lady finnish!!
[04:39] <Dougie> DjViper, when i go to manual configuration WPA is in the list so i'm guessing it is installed
[04:39] <prabs> hi guys, i have finished patching my bcm43xx, compiling the kernel 2.6.20-generic (make modules, make modules_install).. now i need to copy 'Copy the resulting module in the source directory to  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx' .. how do i do that? i am follwing this guide: http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=2045.0 .. any help at all please?
[04:39] <DjViper> Dougie: just type wpa_ into console and hit tab
[04:39] <steel_lady> warbler, there is some authentication problem with finnish server that holds packages and it refuses me every time
[04:40] <DjViper> okay

[04:40] <DjViper> Dougie: hmm, do you use network manager?
[04:40] <warbler> steel_lady: a check is neede - one mo
[04:40] <smallfoot-> WaltzingAlong, no thats not enoug i dont want to read a 100 page website about howto, i just want "point-and-click" and TADA! IT WORKS

[04:40] <mluser> anyone know of a repository with freenx for gusty?
[04:40] <KevinOoO> gnine i think that problem has something to do with my router, but not sure how to fix it
[04:40] <Dougie> DjViper, I'm pretty sure my router is setup for WEP though
[04:41] <HaYZaM> " add the $OPENH323DIR/lib directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH so youre be able using the shared libraries. " << HOW CAN I DO THIS ?
[04:41] <WaltzingAlong> smallfoot-:  ok :D
[04:41] <DjViper> Dougie: right click on the icon and see if wireless is enabled there
[04:41] <Dougie> DjViper, going to check though
[04:41] <Dougie> DjViper, yes it is
[04:41] <GNine> me either.. am not good at remote troubleshooting
[04:41] <drhum> so thanks for spending your time :)
[04:41] <GNine> am just another guy
[04:41] <DjViper> Dougie: are there any networks available if you leftclick on it?
[04:41] <drhum> and mine
[04:41] <KevinOoO> ok, well im gonna reboot and try it again

[04:43] <smallfoot-> WaltzingAlong, dont want type any commands and read stuff, just want to Right-Click on "Disk 1" and select "Enable encryption"
[04:43] <WaltzingAlong> smallfoot-: alright
[04:44] <DjViper> Dougie: hm thats weird
[04:44] <prabs> guess no help here..
[04:44] <warbler> steel_lady: the one for the cd I used to install & the ubuntu automatic signing key
[04:44] <DjViper> Dougie: are you sure it's enabled in your router?
[04:44] <steel_lady> warbler and it does not let you update either?
[04:44] <Dougie> yep
[04:44] <josh_> anyone know how to eject an ipod in amarok?
[04:45] <Dougie> DjViper, i have a laptop thats connected via wireless
[04:45] <Dougie> maybe this wireless card is dead......should probably check it in windows...
[04:46] <warbler> steel_lady: have feisty - updating to feisty - update-manager-c - won't work for me - tried that to see if it would work
[04:46] <DjViper> Dougie: do that if you can, because it should work if the driver is installed and everything is enabled heh
[04:46] <WaltzingAlong> smallfoot-: ok i do not know of a single point/click method for that at present
[04:46] <Dougie> DjViper, yeah i'll reboot and boot into windows....if it works there then I don't know whats going on?
[04:47] <DjViper> Dougie: then you should probably try the ndiswrapper driver
[04:47] <Dougie> ok
[04:47] <warbler> steel_lady: in synaptic repos there is a choice for where to get updates
[04:47] <josh_> :(
[04:47] <Dougie> DjViper, how do i switch the driver it uses?
[04:48] <warbler> steel_lady: ubuntu software - download from
[04:48] <steel_lady> I am looking at it but I don't know what to change
[04:48] <smallfoot-> WaltzingAlong, please program a single poing/click method, or tell the other guy who do that stuffs, to do it
[04:48] <DjViper> Dougie: download it or install it via synaptic, then remove the bcm43 driver and enable ndiswrapper

[04:53] <warbler> lol
[04:53] <sipior> juso: sure, why would you want to use it?
[04:54] <juso> Well t started the processes, how do I stop it from respawning?
[04:54] <juso> it*
[04:54] <sipior> juso: started which processes?
[04:54] <prabs> hi guys, i have finished patching my bcm43xx, compiling the kernel 2.6.20-generic (make modules, make modules_install).. now i need to copy 'Copy the resulting module in the source directory to  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx' .. how do i do that? i am follwing this guide: http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=2045.0 .. any kind soul who can help at all please?
[04:55] <juso> Ok.. do you know what I mean whenI said its in iniitab and set for respawn?
[04:55] <sipior> juso: yep
[04:55] <juso> Ok so whats the confusion?
[04:55] <juso> how do I "disable" that respawn of the processes
[04:55] <juso> so it doesn't respawn it anymore..
[04:55] <sipior> juso: man inittab
[04:56] <juso> I did.. this is why I am hear because I dont understand how..
[04:56] <sipior> juso: i was curious why you wanted to play with it
[04:56] <tabularasa> is there a good doc on replacing syslogd with syslog-ng ?
[04:56] <sparrw> I have a LCD with an EloTouch USB touchscreen.  The official drivers only go up to kernel 2.6.15 with XFree, are there any unofficial drivers that I could use with newer kernels and/or X.org?
[04:56] <sipior> juso: if you don't know what it does, why are you trying to change it?
[04:56] <Venko> Is there a way I can run a program through the command-line so that it can't output sound? There's no options in the program and I'm listening to the radio at the moment.

[04:57] <juso> I put the respawn in myself..
[04:57] <tabularasa> that didnt help
[04:57] <WaltzingAlong> ket-warrior: you can force dpkg to install i386 on amd64
[04:57] <sipior> juso: change the file, send init a HUP signal
[04:57] <DjViper> Dougie: hm okay, hang on
[04:57] <WaltzingAlong> prabs: the resulting module
[04:58] <prabs> WaltzingAlong: yeah, but i need to know the location of it please?

[05:01] <Dougie> DjViper, and thats not in portage
[05:01] <sipior> HaYZaM: --prefix=/home/whatever/Pwlib
[05:01] <Dougie> ok
[05:01] <prabs> WaltzingAlong: to enable packet injection mate
[05:01] <ket-warrior> WaltzingAlong: different package then?
[05:01] <DjViper> Dougie: read the forum thread I posted, you'll see it mentioned there aswell
[05:02] <WaltzingAlong> ket-warrior: man dpkg would show you the command to override the architecture. then you can install the i386 on amd64. another route would be to install a chroot where you have the 386 version
[05:02] <warbler> steel_lady: I remove through synaptic - carefully...
[05:02] <GNine> good to hear KevinOman
[05:02] <WaltzingAlong> ket-warrior: another would be to switch to closed source but open standard gizmo project or open source and open standard wengophone/openwengo
[05:03] <prabs> WaltzingAlong: i would be nice if u can tell me what a 'resulting module' woule be named in this case
[05:03] <KevinOman> gnine any idea on how to bring up my website now?
[05:03] <warbler> steel_lady: no nvidia - remove that , or ATI - those are the things I would look at
[05:03] <WaltzingAlong> prabs: yes i do not know where you were when you built it and patching the bcm43xx ... i do not know why
[05:04] <GNine> no, sorry
[05:04] <kshah> server (aka laptop) bit the bullet yesterday, hdd fail, recommendations on a sub $500 machine? where to?

[05:04] <ket-warrior> WaltzingAlong, I have installed the 386 on amd64 but it will not start

[05:04] <prabs> guess im stuck now
[05:04] <GNine> busy
[05:04] <WaltzingAlong> ket-warrior: try from the terminal so you can see any errors. there probably are i386 libraries it needs
[05:04] <Ch0Hag> I'm intsalling xubuntu-* and it claims a dependency on gnome-session (among other gnome-* packages).
[05:05] <KevinOman> ok
[05:05] <Ch0Hag> Is this normal?
[05:05] <bentob0x> what's the command to check a port against a port list?
[05:05] <Ch0Hag> getent services <port|service>
[05:05] <WaltzingAlong> bentob0x: how do you mean? see which ports are open?
[05:06] <Ch0Hag> getent isn't used enough...
[05:06] <bentob0x> no just to see what port 47939 is used for WaltzingAlong
[05:06] <prabs> WaltzingAlong: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20/ubuntu/wire/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20less/bcm43xx.. thats where loads of .o files are there.. are they modules by any chance?
[05:06] <WaltzingAlong> prabs: :D
[05:06] <dougie_> DJViper, ok that worked thanks :)
[05:06] <DjViper> Dougie: np :)
[05:06] <prabs> WaltzingAlong: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20/ubuntu/wire/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20/wirless/bcm43xx.. thats where loads of .o files are there.. are they modules by any chance?.. sorry typo
[05:07] <prabs> ah wireless!!
[05:07] <prabs> sorry
[05:07] <KevinOman> If I type in the ip address of my server, it brings up my website on this computer?? Any ideas anyone?
[05:07] <dougie_> DjViper, haha looks like someone else is having issues with same card ;)
[05:07] <Ch0Hag> So should xubuntu depend on gnome-session?
[05:07] <DjViper> Dougie: yeah lots of people have that card heh
[05:07] <slavik> bcm43xx ... an abortion, not a wifi card
[05:07] <WaltzingAlong> KevinOman: so it works as expected and you wonder why?
[05:07] <Ch0Hag> Doesn't xfce have its own session manager?
[05:08] <DjViper> lol slavik
[05:08] <prabs> WaltzingAlong: yeah of course, very kind.. here: http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=2045.0
[05:08] <dougie_> did you show him that guide?
[05:08] <super-6-1> quick question where does wine install applications at?
[05:08] <dougie_> WaltzingAlong, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990 did you try this?
[05:08] <Ch0Hag> super-6-1: ~/.wine/ IIRC
[05:08] <prabs> oh lol i thought that question was for me lol
[05:08] <super-6-1> ok
[05:09] <KevinOman> WaltzingAlong:  its not working as expected, I have a remote server connect to my router, and when I type its ip address in my browser, it brings up my website on the pc im using now
[05:09] <dougie_> ~/.wine/drive_c/program files
[05:09] <KevinOman> WaltzingAlong: so im typing <IP_ADDRESS> and its connecting to <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:09] <super-6-1> where is .wine?
[05:09] <kinder> hi all, I am trying to boot from kubuntu cd copied in a partition
[05:09] <gluttony> hi, i am running ubuntu 64 bit edition on an hp laptop and i am try to have dual monitors using my home monitor, how do i go about setting this up?
[05:09] <WaltzingAlong> KevinOman: depends on the router too. the actiontec i have is dumb. all requests from inside get sent to the router's page
[05:09] <dougie_> super-6-1, hit ctrl h
[05:10] <super-6-1> ok
[05:10] <kinder> I am able to boot the kernel, but I can not start the install
[05:10] <Ch0Hag> So - xubuntu? session?
[05:10] <kinder> any suggestion?
[05:10] <dougie_> super-6-1 it'll unhide all your folders
[05:10] <super-6-1> ok
[05:10] <Ch0Hag> I think my ISP has a direct link to canonical. This is downloading bloody fast...
[05:10] <the_cyber_guy> i want to set title bar double click action
[05:10] <super-6-1> i dont see .wine
[05:10] <the_cyber_guy> from where to set it
[05:10] <super-6-1> hmm
[05:11] <Ch0Hag> super-6-1: Type nautilus ~/.wine in a terminal
[05:11] <dougie_> super-6-1, do you have wine installed?
[05:11] <Ch0Hag> Or has that shown all your hidden files and not that one?
[05:11] <Polysics> wow, the preview sure looks interesting
[05:11] <dougie_> .wine is also in your home directory
[05:11] <super-6-1> yea
[05:11] <super-6-1> hold on ill look
[05:11] <Ch0Hag> super-6-1: And have you actually run something in wine yet?
[05:11] <Polysics> i just hope they bundle some better theme than the attractive, lovely, diarrhea-colored default there is now :-)
[05:11] <sparrw> i am going to have to downgrade to ubuntu 6.06 to get a proprietary driver to work  :(

[05:14] <Pici> super-6-1: its probably in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Starcraft/
[05:15] <Ch0Hag> A curse based programme?
[05:15] <sipior> curses :)
[05:15] <Ch0Hag> Is that one coded entirely out of expletives?
[05:15] <faileas> lol
[05:15] <faileas> curses ;)
[05:15] <sipior> sounds like my programming
[05:15] <faileas> / ****ing code dosen;t ****ing work.
[05:16] <faileas> ;)
[05:16] <sipior> ByPasS: does it require a specific version of (n)curses?
[05:16] <cavedon> hi all!
[05:18] <ByPasS> version 5 yes
[05:18] <chamikal> hi
[05:19] <chamikal> packages.ubuntu.com is down ?
[05:20] <Floker> chamikal, same here
[05:20] <NET||abuse> Can i just delete ESD? or will that totally cork up my system?
[05:20] <Floker> NET||abuse, why would you want to do that?
[05:20] <technoBurn> greetings
[05:20] <NET||abuse> delete as in aptitude --purge remove libesd-alsa0
[05:21] <NET||abuse> Floker, I'm desperately desperately trying to find a way to get flash sound working again
[05:21] <Ch0Hag> Damn there's a lot of background noise in here.
[05:21] <coolbeans> Hi all.  How can I tell which ttsy/com port a PCI modem is using?  It shows up when I hit lspci but I can't figure out which serial port its using.
[05:21] <NET||abuse> i think i've added a package somewhere along the way  (about 2 months ago) that killed flash sound playback
[05:21] <technoBurn> NET||abuse, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[05:21] <NET||abuse> So i'm going through the various sound systems that are in here and trying to see what i can take out..
[05:21] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, on feisty
[05:22] <brainsick> can someone give me a pointer / entry point to start researching developing visualization plugins for rhythmbox?
[05:22] <technoBurn> did you install from source?
[05:22] <scipio> any ideas why did alt-1 stoped working in irssi? i can change to all windows except the status window which is #1.
[05:22] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, which ? alsa? no i'm using mostly jsut binaries.
[05:22] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, I think the only thing i've compiled from source right now is kiba-dock
[05:22] <_abc_> hello
[05:23] <_abc_> wow I've never been on a channel with 1165 users before ...
[05:23] <technoBurn> NET||abuse, when I installed Flash 9 from source It worked out of the box could never get it working otherwise
[05:23] <NET||abuse> :) popular distro :)
[05:23] <_abc_> are there breaks between flame fests _
[05:23] <_abc_> ? ;-)
[05:23] <ByPasS> chamikal : it is to me too
[05:23] <technoBurn> What soundcard are you running?
[05:23] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, emm one sec..
[05:23] <rafaelscj> is there a kernel to centrino laptops?
[05:24] <Floker> rafaelscj, no, is speedstepping running on your portable?
[05:24] <faileas> rafaelscj: the standard one should work
[05:24] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, using "Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)"
[05:24] <dsavall> hi
[05:24] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, I thought flash was closed source,, how'd you compile??
[05:24] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, this is flashplugin-nonfree
[05:25] <rafaelscj> Floker, It's because i can hibernate, but not stand by
[05:25] <technoBurn> NET||abuse, your right I think I did that via deb
[05:26] <steel_lady> if it tells me that I can not upgrade if I don't liberate 400MB in /usr, will it help if I empty /home ?
[05:26] <Floker> rafaelscj, well, the kernel in Gutsy will have some major improvements on Suspend, hibernate and Power Saving. i guess we will have to wait for it
[05:26] <kyja> I am getting an error from gambas
[05:26] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, ;) well there ya are then.. hmmm, ok,, for some reason i've alot of alsas modules installed.. what can i remove safely...
[05:26] <scipio> any ideas why did alt-1 stoped working in irssi? i can change to all windows except the status window which is #1.
[05:26] <rafaelscj> Floker, :(
[05:26] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, I may have gone completely nuts and installed stuff that I shouldn't have by just flying through the multimedia sectoin in synaptics ;)
[05:27] <dougie__> there we go now that I got wireless working my phone doesn't have to be next to my computer lol
[05:27] <technoBurn> try this
[05:27] <Floker> rafaelscj, there are some howtos on that issue i guess, try searching the ubuntu wiki or ask in the ubuntu forums (clearly stating every aspect of the problem) hope that helps
[05:27] <sktrdie> How do I change the ubunt icon on the top left?
[05:27] <technoBurn> NET||Abuse : sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
[05:27] <steel_lady> I don't understand why is it refusing to install when I have 1.5G free
[05:27] <technoBurn> then restart firefox
[05:28] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, I have no files under /usr/lib/ that start with libesd aparently....
[05:28] <technoBurn> are you using firefox?
[05:28] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, wait no i do..
[05:28] <NET||abuse> yeh, firefox
[05:28] <seba> hi all
[05:28] <technoBurn> yea okay i was about to be really confused there ;)
[05:29] <NET||abuse> i've seen this fix, symlinks for the esd lib.. and i've done all the suggestions *(all 3 install methods on ubuntuguide.org)
[05:29] <juso> In securecrt, for some reason some servers I save, wont prompt me for abiliy to save password, and some do.  Anyone know why this is?
[05:29] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, I already have /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 symlinked to /usr/lib/libesd.so.0
[05:30] <rafaelscj> let me understand one thing: why Mobile Intel's driver isn't a "restricted-drivers" while Intel PRO/Wireless is?
[05:30] <technoBurn> ehhh not sure what the issue is then, I had to do that to get mine to work
[05:30] <sparrw> what sort of pain am i inviting by installing an old debian kernel package on an ubuntu system?
[05:30] <technoBurn> do you have sound otherwise in the systme?
[05:30] <steel_lady> ok, can somebody explain to me, the distribution of disk memory in the system, why does it need more when I have 1.5G free?
[05:30] <NET||abuse> technoBurn, yeh, I have sound otherwise, you see the weird thing is I did that symlink to get it working before, and all was well, i had flash for some time, then 2 months back it died.. i don't know why it died though :(
[05:31] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, when ubuntu uncompresses from the cd to your hdd it sonsumes at least 2 gb
[05:31] <slop> hi all...trying to compile a game with scons, i get TONS of this error : sh: o: not found

[05:34] <CroX> Paddy_EIRE: The panels follow me into the game and lays over the fullscreen game.
[05:34] <sparrw> will i have problems having multiple ubuntu versions in my sources.list?  feisty+edgy+dapper...
[05:34] <Paddy_EIRE> CroX, ctrl+alt+f# up to 6, 7 being your current graphical x session
[05:34] <sipior> sparrw: probably
[05:35] <DARKGuy> CroX: switch to terminal (control+alt+f1), login and type "xinit -- :1" ... that'll give you X on ctrl+alt+f8, while f7 being your previos X session
[05:35] <taime1> my trash applet doesnt show me that there is any trash in it by right clicking it. there i salso no option to empty it. but when i open my trash, there is trash... what gives?

[05:35] <CroX> Ohh. :D
[05:35] <NET||abuse> Awww, he's gone :( ok,, can anyone suggest a course of action here?? flash with no sound, I've performed all the suggestions from ubuntuguid.org and even gnash, and no sound from that either, i've checked /usr/lib/libesd.so.0->1 link is there, i've tried alsa-oss fix in the firefoxrc file, I don't know whatelse i can do..
[05:35] <sparrw> with packages.ubuntu.com down, is there any easy way to get old packages?
[05:35] <CroX> Is there a space between "--" and ":1"?
[05:36] <Paddy_EIRE> appears so
[05:36] <steel_lady> Paddy_EIRE, does home counts towards the quota for ubuntu?
[05:36] <CroX> Thanks both of you! I'll try that
[05:37] <Poromenos> Xorg is giving me 95% CPU usage, how can I stop it for good?
[05:38] <dougie__> Poromenos, you want to stop xorg?
[05:38] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, lady if you make your /home directory seperate
[05:38] <Poromenos> dougie__: yes
[05:38] <Poromenos> it's a headless server
[05:38] <fsckr> how can i set the number of workspaces I want?  Everytime I reboot or restart X I have to change the workspaces back to 4.  I have put the number of workstations manually in gconf-editor but that hasn't been of any help it seems
[05:38] <dougie__> Poromenos, hmm....not sure just was making sure what you wanted :)
[05:38] <Paddy_EIRE> although ubuntu itself requires at least 2gb for the standard install with apps
[05:38] <Poromenos> dougie__: ah :P
[05:39] <dougie__> Poromenos, server doesn't need gui thats for sure
[05:39] <MrCollins>
[05:40] <milestone> hi all

[05:40] <Poromenos> Dougie: indeed, but how can i stop it? :P
[05:40] <milestone> i cannot get pam-ldap to work on my ubuntu feisty machine
[05:40] <Poromenos> i'm thinking of just removing ubuntu-desktop...
[05:40] <milestone> is there an ubuntu based howto somewhere?
[05:40] <Paddy_EIRE> DARKGuy, how do I end any other sessions or 'terminals' I have opened from ctrl+alt+f# except for my current X F7 ofcourse
[05:40] <Dougie> Poromenos, that should work honestly. Thats all the gui and gnome and all that
[05:40] <gnomefreak> Poromenos: removing ubuntu-desktop doesnt do anything
[05:40] <gnomefreak> Dougie: nope
[05:41] <slop> why isn't build-essential included with the distro?
[05:41] <Xman> can anybody help
[05:41] <Dougie> gnomefreak, hmm well idk?
[05:41] <slop> just curious...
[05:41] <gnomefreak> !ubuntu-desktop | Dougie Poromenos
[05:41] <ubotu> Dougie Poromenos: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[05:41] <neumind> who know pascal?!

[05:42] <sipior> pascal? jesus, it's not the 80's again, is it?
[05:42] <DARKGuy> but on others you'll just kill 'em
[05:42] <caner> are there any gui's for mtp-* programs?
[05:42] <gnomefreak> Poromenos: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

[05:43] <Poromenos> "i tried gdm stop but it started back up again for some reason"
[05:43] <gnomefreak> Poromenos: the command i gave you is to stop it not restart it

[05:44] <gnomefreak> Poromenos: if you want to permently stop it remove gdm
[05:44] <cyanid3_> what file would i edit if i want to spoof my nic's mac address everytime at boot?
[05:44] <Poromenos> hmm
[05:44] <Poromenos> aha, i'll do that, thanks
[05:44] <web_knows> I mean, I'd like to output amarok sound through esd (eSound)
[05:44] <steel_lady> Paddy-EIRE it wants about 450MB!
[05:45] <notchNICK> guys I need help.. how do I open /etc/X11/xorg.conf  in ubuntu?  I am using virtualbox and I need to add resolution 1280x1024 in this file
[05:45] <Poromenos> notchNICK: go to a command line and type sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:45] <Poromenos> err
[05:45] <Poromenos> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:46] <caner> has anybody used creative zen vision:m with feisty?
[05:46] <caner> i couldnt make it work
[05:46] <cyanid3_> what file would i edit if i want to spoof my nic's mac address everytime at boot?
[05:46] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, ok, well you could try deleting the contents of '/var/cache/apt/archives/' that may free some space
[05:46] <brian1> When I'm starting Ubuntu I get an error page saying that /dev/sda2 contains a file system with errors, check failed. After checking it tells me there are a Duplicate or bad block in use. Then it goes to tell me /dev/sda2 Multiply-claimed block(s) in inode 7:231. It continues to tells me about 2 other blocks. Then it tells me an automatic files ysystem check (fsck) of the root file system failed. A manual fsck must be performed in maintence m
[05:46] <brian1> with the root file system mounted in read only mode. Once it was in read only and  maintenance shell was started. Then another few commands go across the screen. Then it tells be that the program 'apt-get' is not installed and I can install it by typing apt-get install apt. Though the computer cant find that command even when the computer typed apt-get install by itself. Anyone have any suggestions?
[05:47] <kakaruto> i can't wait for 7.10
[05:48] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, do you know what you are doing...
[05:48] <sipior> cyanid3_: you could make a local file in /etc/init.d that does the mac alteration. just have to ensure that it runs before the network is started. i don't *think* it would reset to the default mac, but i wouldn't swear to it
[05:48] <steel_lady> Paddy_EIRE it is empty
[05:48] <DARKGuy> Paddy_EIRE: it
[05:48] <DARKGuy> Paddy_EIRE: it's ok, your machine may vary
[05:48] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, oh, so you must have a fresh install
[05:48] <cyanid3_> ok, thanks
[05:49] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, then where is all your space... how big is your ubuntu partition
[05:49] <steel_lady> Paddy_EIRE I can not run over my system, it is for my work and I can not reinstall some programs
[05:50] <steel_lady> Paddy, where can I check it?
[05:50] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, type 'df' in term
[05:50] <xtknight> is there an easy command to view the changelog of a deb?
[05:50] <xtknight> (a deb which is already installed)
[05:51] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, System > Admin > System monitor
[05:51] <steel_lady> I have 8 giga with 1.5G free
[05:52] <steel_lady> 6.5+1.5 -- ubuntu is taking so much?
[05:52] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, then you do not need to free space for the updates then
[05:52] <djwonk> after ssh'ing to my ubuntu server from my Mac, bash interprets 'backspace' and 'delete' properly.  nano interprets 'backspace' as 'delete'.  how do I fix?
[05:52] <steel_lady> Paddy_EIRE it wants 450MB more
[05:52] <xtknight> i guess the best way is "cd /usr/share/doc; man pkgname/changelog.Debian.gz"
[05:52] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, 450 is not very much
[05:53] <Calin> A fouled up gbindadmin has reset every file on my machine to owner:none group:none .... is there a way to fix this? or a list somewhere of what should be set to what?
[05:53] <steel_lady> but where to get it?
[05:53] <web_knows> how the fstab file is generated during the installation?
[05:53] <steel_lady> Paddy, I was trying to revise to se what programs to remove and I really can not
[05:53] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, you already have 1.5gb free so 450 should not cause any problems
[05:54] <aaron_> what is the difference between compiz and beryl?  What should I load?
[05:54] <steel_lady> Paddy, it does!
[05:54] <Paddy_EIRE> aaragon, #ubuntu-effects
[05:54] <brian1> When I'm starting Ubuntu I get an error page saying that /dev/sda2 contains a file system with errors, check failed.

[05:54] <steel_lady> The upgrade aborts now. Please free at least 434M of disk space on /usr. Empty your Garbage Bin and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.
[05:54] <Paddy_EIRE> hmm
[05:54] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, do you have only one partition?
[05:55] <steel_lady> no I have more
[05:55] <sipior> xtknight: bit surprising (i assumed there there was an easy way to do it), but i think your suggestion might be the only option :)
[05:55] <xtknight> sipior, i haven't looked very hard
[05:55] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, so, it's the problem
[05:55] <Span1> Hey everyone, I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux in general and I'd like to find out how to get Movie Player to show DVDs
[05:56] <sipior> xtknight: nor have i, but it doesn't look like any of the dpkg or apt- tools do this
[05:56] <faileas> !dvd
[05:56] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[05:56] <ahmed_>
[05:56] <steel_lady> rafaelscj i do not understand
[05:56] <Span1> Thanks
[05:56] <xtknight> sipior, it would probably be one of the developer deb tools
[05:56] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, try 'df -hT' in a terminal
[05:56] <ahmed_> hiiiiiiiiiii
[05:56] <steel_lady> rafaelscj I can not move installed programs to the other partition
[05:56] <sipior> ahmed_: thanks, i wondered if i could display arabic fonts correctly. now i know
[05:57] <seba> ubuntu 7.04 server, on apt-get updgrade it keeps back new kernel from install, what should i do ?
[05:57] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, what partitions do you have ? (/, swap)
[05:57] <steel_lady> http://pastebin.com/m77ada09a
[05:57] <sipior> xtknight: apt-listchanges
[05:58] <xtknight> sipior, interesing.  crashes on gutsy
[05:58] <seba> ubuntu 7.04 server, on apt-get upgrade it keeps back new kernel from install, what should i do ?
[05:58] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, you have a vfat partition with loads of space
[05:58] <brian1> When I'm starting Ubuntu I get an error page saying that /dev/sda2 contains a file system with errors, check failed.

Though the computer cant find that command even when the computer typed apt-get install by itself. Anyone have any suggestions?
[05:58] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, you can back apt's cache up
[05:58] <djwonk> here's the line in nanorc that fixed my problem, fyi: ## Fix Backspace/Delete confusion problem.
[05:58] <djwonk> # set rebinddelete
[05:58] <xtknight> sipior, just apt-listchanges pkgname  right?
[05:58] <steel_lady>  rafaelscj  I am blonde, please step by step
[05:59] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[05:59] <Paddy_EIRE> rafaelscj, her /var/apt/cache/ is empty
[06:00] <Paddy_EIRE> rafaelscj, her /var/apt/archives' even
[06:00] <genii> Rather /var/cache/apt you mean?
[06:00] <sipior> xtknight: actually, reading the man page, it appears to do exactly what you suggested for the changelog :)
[06:00] <seba> ubuntu 7.04 server, on apt-get upgrade it keeps back new kernel from install, what should i do to get them installed ?
[06:00] <Paddy_EIRE> :P
[06:00] <jiam> brian1: boot using liveCD and then fsck those unmounted partitions
[06:00] <genii> Rather /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:00] <xtknight> sipior, can you get apt-listchanges to work at all?
[06:00] <sipior> xtknight: not yet
[06:00] <Paddy_EIRE> genii, :P
[06:01] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, /var/cache/apt/archieves
[06:01] <steel_lady> rafael it is empty
[06:01] <Dougie> Hey can anyone help me here...for some reason it won't mount audio cd's
[06:01] <xtknight> sipior, now im not horrible with google or anything but wow i cant find any instructions on how to use this :p
[06:01] <Paddy_EIRE> rafaelscj,  /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:01] <floresc7> I had to leave to class earlier, anyone here know anything about DRBL?
[06:01] <sipior> xtknight: i think the status of this program may currently be "b0rked"
[06:02] <Paddy_EIRE> !anyone | floresc7
[06:02] <rafaelscj> steel_lady,is  /var/cache/apt/archives empty?
[06:02] <ubotu> floresc7: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:02] <xtknight> sipior, i'm going to file a bug about this
[06:02] <steel_lady> rafael, yes!
[06:02] <sipior> xtknight: hold off on that
[06:03] <Dougie> i put in a cd and it just doesn't mount. I go double click the cd drive and it says unable to mount drive possible cause is there is no media in drive. None of my audio cd's will mount at all.
[06:03] <sipior> xtknight: i think you need to invoke it on an actual deb package, not the name of the package
[06:03] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, what other data do you have on your ubuntu partition that belongs to YOU
[06:03] <floresc7> I cannot boot a DRBL client with a SATA hard drive using Feisty
[06:03] <kurosaki> seba, Try via synaptic.
[06:03] <steel_lady> Paddy, apart installed programs?
[06:03] <seba> kurosaki , i dont have GUI on server
[06:03] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, yeah apart from installed apps.. just your created content
[06:03] <marginoferror> I have about 5000 pages in 40 PDF files that I need to convert to TIFF (so I can run tesseract-ocr on them)
[06:03] <floresc7> Are there compatiblity issues with using ubuntu with SATA hard drives?
[06:03] <xtknight> sipior, well if i do this, this is all it says "Reading changelogs... Done" :p
[06:04] <genii> floresc7: Set your bios for SATA to be in IDE compatability mode
[06:04] <marginoferror> Is there a sane, automated way to do this?
[06:04] <sipior> xtknight: yeah, it assumes that you want to see the difference between a package you just grabbed and the one on your system.
[06:04] <xtknight> sipior, ok i guess this isnt much use at least for me
[06:04] <floresc7> I only have 2 modes in bios, normal and RAID
[06:04] <floresc7> tried both
[06:04] <sipior> xtknight: yeah, sadly
[06:04] <steel_lady> Paddy linux is confusing because it mounts partitions like folders, so which one is entire ubuntu partition?
[06:04] <kurosaki> seba, Ah ok. I've had this issue too. sudo apt-get upgrade -f ?
[06:04] <xtknight> sipior, wait
[06:04] <xtknight> sipior, use the -a switch
[06:04] <steel_lady> only /usr or more?
[06:04] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, /
[06:04] <seba> kurosaki , 1 min i go try
[06:04] <xtknight> sipior, e.g.  apt-listchanges -va /var/cache/apt/archives/bip_0.6.0-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[06:04] <xtknight> this works.. thx
[06:04] <kurosaki> seba, Or Aptitude might handle things better.
[06:05] <sipior> cool
[06:05] <genii> floresc7: If you have jmicron chipset you may be ok to insert the driver manually. If another chipset like Marvell or so it could be problemmatic
[06:05] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, im talking about music movies documents that belong to you
[06:05] <xtknight> i still think the program needs better docs but they probably have more important things to worry about
[06:05] <steel_lady> paddy it can not be because I have more than 3G free in /home
[06:05] <seba> kurosaki , no go :/
[06:05] <bjwebb> hi
[06:05] <floresc7> genii: how can I tell which chipset I am using on the client?
[06:06] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, /use is in /
[06:06] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, usr*
[06:06] <seba> kurosaki , it keeping them from upgrade
[06:06] <Samurai_Dan> any help for XGL issue ? no answer in xgl channel
[06:06] <marginoferror> Is there any way to convert PDF to TIFF in Linux at all?
[06:06] <kurosaki> seba, Try aptitude, it's essentially synaptic in cli and seems to work better in some cases. It was a while ago it happened to me. Not 100% on what it was that fixed it, either synaptic or aptitude though.
[06:06] <genii> floresc7: look up your motherboard specs, or try lspci and see if it has some device from jmicron or marvell there
[06:06] <bjwebb> my x is broke :S
[06:07] <Samurai_Dan> Video scrambled in XGL session, looks like no horizontal sync
[06:07] <bjwebb> anyone here able to help?
[06:07] <seba> kurosaki i go try, tnx m8
[06:07] <kurosaki> seba, No sweat, hope it helps.
[06:07] <bjwebb> "unable to write to /tmp"
[06:07] <Calin> is there a way to reset all group/user settings for the entire installation? (mine are all none:none now..) like maybe using apt-get to reinstall everything...
[06:07] <steel_lady> applnk  games            include  lib64    local  sbin   src
[06:07] <steel_lady> bin     i486-linuxlibc1  lib      libexec  man    share  X11R6
[06:07] <steel_lady> in games I almost do not have anything
[06:07] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, I would at least make my root / dir at least 10gb
[06:08] <genii> floresc7: My Asus mb install cd came with source code for Marvell Sata/IDE controller but it's that catch-22 of needing a working system to compile it etc
[06:08] <steel_lady> paddy should I look in some of these folders? I did not create them!
[06:08] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, no
[06:08] <Samurai_Dan> Video scrambled in XGL session, looks like no horizontal sync
[06:09] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, they are system folders in your '/' root directory
[06:09] <genii> AFK (ordering lunch)
[06:09] <floresc7> genii: ok, I'll look up the specs real quick on the dell support site
[06:10] <warbler> steel_lady: lines 2 - 8 are the one partition
[06:10] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, you could resize your / onto some of either your vfat or /home partitions using gparted from the live cd
[06:11] <karel_> Hi, I read that 7.10 will have compiz by default and also an x manager. Now I'm wondering if these will work with my ATI X1400? (for example: for compiz I need to use xgl at this time)
[06:11] <Cyrus25801> I shared a folder in ubuntu and i am trying to access it on a windows pc. It asces me for a username and password. What username and password must I use
[06:12] <cosmodad> anyone else experiencing feisty gaim's "could not add the buddy 1" error message and know how to fix it?
[06:12] <steel_lady> the biggest folder is lib. do I need all of that?
[06:12] <Paddy_EIRE> Cyrus25801, your ubuntu login... or whatever you specified when setting up either samba or nfs
[06:12] <Paddy_EIRE> Cyrus25801, which did you use
[06:13] <steel_lady> and what is proc for?
[06:13] <warbler> steel_lady: that is a system folder - file system = tempfs
[06:13] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, yes certainly you need that
[06:13] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, you need all those
[06:13] <Cyrus25801> Paddy_EIRE: samba. where can i check what user i specified. I tried my normal login and another that i created a while ago. but it doesn't want to work
[06:13] <act1v8> How can I open and create Symbian MBM (Multi BitMap) files on Ubuntu?

[06:15] <Cyrus25801> Paddy_EIRE: thanx but it isn't a windows share it is a ubuntu share that I want to access on windows. does it matter
[06:16] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah you need samba client on your buntu box
[06:17] <Aireth> mave
[06:17] <Aireth> ce stai ?
[06:17] <Paddy_EIRE> Cyrus25801, why dont you start over and ask about file sharing and networking in general when it comes to windows and linux environments
[06:17] <aleph0> hello everyone
[06:17] <garryfre> Wow, #winehq has 181 users, that will not respond to any question, no matter what. They won't answer about the new bug in the wine that comes with Ubuntu.
[06:17] <aleph0> is there any way I can list the complete dependency of a package?
[06:18] <Cyrus25801> Paddy_EIRE: i am going to read what you gave me and if i dont come right will ask again thanx
[06:18] <floresc7> ok i did run lspci but it doesnt show any devices from jmicron or marvell
[06:18] <Paddy_EIRE> aleph0, there is although the command eludes me at the moment
[06:18] <Paddy_EIRE> Cyrus25801, good good :)
[06:19] <rick__> hi.. could someone suggest me a good file explorer...
[06:19] <Paddy_EIRE> rick__, nautilus or terminal

[06:20] <luchador> ola
[06:20] <Calin> is there a way to re-install ubuntu without loosing additional programs / setup that was done (really don't want to loose my ldap server.)

[06:22] <Cyrus25801> paddy
[06:22] <lgc_> What options are there to run Windows software on Ubuntu?
[06:22] <Paddy_EIRE> yes Cyrus25801
[06:23] <Cyrus25801> Paddy_EIRE: let me tell what I have done. I have right clicked on a file and said share. I then picked samba
[06:23] <drhumanist> warbler: hi mate.... i fixed the problem ;)
[06:23] <Calin> lgc: wine, vmware, and cedega
[06:23] <Cyrus25801> I then picked a name that I share it with
[06:23] <warbler> drhumanist: pls tell how!
[06:23] <drhumanist> warbler: i'd like to share how :)
[06:23] <lgc_> Calin, does VMWare need wine?
[06:23] <Paddy_EIRE> lgc_, wine, crossover, parallels... also consider virtual machines
[06:23] <drhumanist> are you ready?
[06:23] <Scunizi> lgc_, no
[06:23] <drhumanist> :P
[06:23] <noelferreira> i have a package that needs to be reinstaled. however aptitude can't find a repository for it. how can i delete it?
[06:23] <warbler> k
[06:24] <drhumanist> i just used AUTOMATIX and it fixed everything....
[06:24] <Paddy_EIRE> !virtualbox | lgc_
[06:24] <ubotu> lgc_: VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[06:24] <steel_lady> ok, a question, does the system need that space temporaryly to unpack or it will be spent?
[06:24] <Scunizi> lgc_, VMWare will run native in Linux, Windows
[06:24] <faileas> lgc_: vmware needs windows ;)
[06:24] <karel_> does anyone have ubuntu 7.10 tribe 5?
[06:24] <Cyrus25801> Paddy_EIRE: when I acess the network from my windows pc I see the linux desktop. when I double click on it to access it it asks for a usename and pass.
[06:24] <kbrooks> faileas, not true
[06:24] <floresc7> I am getting a error when trying to boot: ata1: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 seconds
[06:24] <drhumanist> the driver it found was the exact one depending on my very specific hardware settings..... the driver is TOTALLY different
[06:24] <warbler> drhumanist: must have loaded the appropriate driver
[06:24] <Cyrus25801> Paddy_EIRE: I have tried everyone i have ever entered but it doesn't work
[06:24] <Scunizi> Cyrus25801, provide your uname & pass
[06:25] <elkbuntu> drhumanist, pity it did not work for the guy who lost gnome or the guy who can no longer mount stuff. do not ever recommend it
[06:25] <faileas> kbrooks: yeah, it needs windows to run windows apps though. ;) ( i was being silly... don't mind me)
[06:25] <lgc_> Paddy_EIRE, Scunizi, Calin, thanks. I'm going to try Wine. Where do I have to put the Windows executable?
[06:25] <Cyrus25801> Scunizi: I have but it doesn't take it
[06:25] <Vlet> Why would I get a ~5 second delay every time I try to ssh into my server? I'm on a gigabit switch with the server.
[06:25] <Calin> is there a way to re-install ubuntu without loosing your current settings.
[06:25] <Scunizi> lgc_, what program are you trying to run?
[06:25] <Paddy_EIRE> lgc_, #winehq
[06:25] <drhumanist> warbler: well elkbuntu my friend, i DO recommend it ;)
[06:25] <kbrooks> faileas, by that argument you make, since XChat runs on Windows, I could say "XChat needs Windows". That does not make it any more true. </rant>
[06:25] <Scunizi> Cyrus25801, it's probably a samba issue.. sorry I'm not good with samba
[06:26] <drhumanist> i am trying to fix this resolution problem for more than a week!!!
[06:26] <faileas> kbrooks: my bad, really
[06:26] <elkbuntu> !automatix | drhumanist
[06:26] <ubotu> drhumanist: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[06:26] <lgc_> Scunizi, a WinDig. A small application for digitizing curves.
[06:26] <noelferreira> i have a package that needs to be reinstaled. however aptitude can't find a repository for it. how can i delete it?
[06:26] <kbrooks> Vlet, you get that delay because of the encryption it does.
[06:26] <steel_lady> Paddy, do I need the space for unpacking or permanently?
[06:26] <drhumanist> elkbuntu: i do not ever care.... i could not have solved my problem without it
[06:26] <warbler> drhumanist: you got lucky - well done - enjoy ubuntuing
[06:26] <kbrooks> drhumanist, can i pm you?
[06:26] <kadambi> How to do an apt-setup on fiesty ?
[06:26] <elkbuntu> drhumanist, yes you could have. it does nothing that you could not have done for yourself
[06:27] <lgc_> faileas, you mean it'll use my Windows partition or I need a 'virtual' Windows reinstall?
[06:27] <drhumanist> what is pm?
[06:27] <kbrooks> drhumanist, private message
[06:27] <faileas> lgc_: for wine or vmware?
[06:27] <drhumanist> yes ok
[06:27] <kousotu> how do you shut down a prgram from comand line?
[06:27] <Scunizi> lgc_, do you have a copy of windows?  if so it might be easier to load VMWare and install windows and your prog. there. Especially if your prog uses propitiatory windows code like .net VB etc.
[06:27] <Paddy_EIRE> steel_lady, well you will certainly have future updates so I'd use the extra space
[06:27] <drhumanist> elkbuntu: don't take all this personal but i am really happy to have solved my resolution problem that is all
[06:28] <kousotu> vlc vanished on me
[06:28] <kadambi> How to do an apt-setup on feisty ?
[06:28] <Cyrus25801> Paddy_EIRE: did you get all that
[06:28] <s1icknick> my machine mysteriously restarted overnight.  it has an uptime of 7 hour 45 minutes. the top of /var/log/messages is: Aug 28 01:50:27 nbogdanoff-wx syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart.   any other log files to look at ? or ideas what to check to see why this happend?
[06:28] <drhumanist> warbler: thank you btw :) your efforts are appreciated too ;)
[06:28] <lgc_> Scunizi, do I need a disk for that or just somehow clone the partition?
[06:28] <steel_lady> Paddy but I am asking you for right now, will it use up all 2G after this installation?
[06:28] <DARKGuy> hey, is it normal that when you have a laptop plugged in to AC, the battery led blinks? what does that mean? sorry for the offtopic but I'm confused o.O
[06:28] <lgc_> faileas, for wine.
[06:28] <faileas> vmware perferably SHOULD use a install on a disk image (ie, its own windows install). I tended to use a old win98 disk for it ;)
[06:28] <Scunizi> lgc_, if you are dual booting and create a VMWare install of the same windows cd you'll have "activation" issues.
[06:28] <lgc_> faileas, sorry, for VMW
[06:28] <warbler> drhumanist: lol :)
[06:29] <faileas> lgc_ wine is an API for linux, no windows partiton required
[06:29] <Paddy_EIRE> !wine | lgc
[06:29] <ubotu> lgc: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:29] <sipior> s1icknick: try "last", it should show when the machine rebooted, and possibly why
[06:29] <faileas> lgc_ you may be able to convert an install to an image, or mount a raw partition. personally i recommend a fresh install for it though
[06:29] <lgc_> Scunizi, you mean license problems?
[06:30] <kadambi> How to do an apt-setup on feisty ?
[06:30] <lgc_> faileas, from the Windows CD, you mean?
[06:30] <sipior> s1icknick: but it was most likely a power interruption
[06:30] <Pici> kadambi: What are you trying to do?
[06:30] <kadambi> pici, when I say apt-update it says error
[06:30] <faileas> lgc_: yeah. i got an... erm, old copy of win 98 for doing vmware installs, unless its an XP only programme ;)
[06:30] <s1icknick> sipior: thanks.  i have 2 lines for today but dont understand then.  ill check the man page
[06:31] <noelferreira> i have a package that needs to be reinstaled. however aptitude can't find a repository for it. how can i delete it?
[06:31] <Paddy_EIRE> kadambi, sudo apt-get update
[06:31] <s1icknick> reboot   system boot  2.6.20-16-generi Tue Aug 28 01:40 - 09:29  (07:49)
[06:31] <drhumanist> btw guys, i must say i am a believer of free software policy.... it is just that driver support is something beyond us...
[06:31] <kbrooks> apart from <insert program name here that we talked about> being a block of code, it is also non-free. you may think that this doesn't affect you directly, but it does
[06:31] <kadambi> Paddy_EIRE: yes, even then it says error - not in gzip format
[06:31] <Vlet> kbrooks: I've never had that delay with any other ubuntu systems.. this is my first time using ubuntu server though. All other ubuntu systems (except for the first time connecting) allow me to auth immediatly
[06:31] <s1icknick> sipior: any way to tell if it iwas power interruption ?
[06:31] <drhumanist> very few drivers are open-source you know
[06:32] <kbrooks> because you can't change the code, use it for any reason, etc
[06:32] <sipior> s1icknick: that would seem to indicate that the system rebooted normally. maybe somebody hit the power button?
[06:32] <bjwebb> could someone help me with x problems?
[06:32] <Scunizi> lgc_, no.. When you use the same win install cd for one partition and for installing into a VMWare image, the second one installed will want you to "activate" it. MS will then be informed of the hardware setup. When you go back to the Windows partition and do an update it will want to activate that one again. ping ponging continuously from straight install to VMW install.
[06:32] <lgc_> faileas, there's always a fresh Windows XP CD for a few $$ around....;).
[06:32] <kbrooks> that is all
[06:32] <Paddy_EIRE> drhumanist, #offtopic
[06:32] <drhumanist> ok ok :):)
[06:32] <s1icknick> i sure hope no one was here at 2am pushing buttons ...
[06:32] <Scunizi> lgc_, faileas was right.  Use a different version of windows for the VMW image.
[06:32] <faileas> lgc_: old windows is lighter (especially for a one app install). i'd switch to ROS once its down. its alpha software but they have awesome devs ;)
[06:33] <kousotu> how do you shut down a prgram from comand line?
[06:33] <sipior> s1icknick: well, check your logs for around that time, see what was going on
[06:33] <bjwebb> could someone help me with an X problem?
[06:33] <lgc_> Scunizi, and if you do a fresh install you don't have the same problem?
[06:33] <s1icknick> sipior: what other log file besides /var/log/messages ?
[06:33] <scipio> kousotu, killall programname
[06:33] <Paddy_EIRE> kousotu, killall app
[06:33] <Scunizi> lgc_, if you're not dual booting you'll be fine.
[06:33] <kousotu> so killall vlc?
[06:33] <noelferreira> please
[06:33] <noelferreira> please
[06:33] <scipio> kousotu, yes
[06:33] <noelferreira> i have a package that needs to be reinstaled. however aptitude can't find a repository for it. how can i delete it?
[06:33] <sipior> s1icknick: that gets most of it, i believe
[06:33] <Scunizi> lgc_, of course that eliminates any possibility of playing windows games.
[06:33] <kousotu> ty
[06:33] <Paddy_EIRE> kousotu, well whatever the vlc process name is
[06:34] <s1icknick> sipior : and the older things it the line i pasted in my initial question
[06:34] <neverblue> can you get pidgin from anywhere? say SoS ?
[06:34] <kousotu> vlc
[06:34] <Paddy_EIRE> kousotu, try anyway
[06:34] <kousotu> lol
[06:34] <kousotu> that's how I apt-get'd it
[06:34] <kousotu> lol
[06:34] <scipio> kousotu, you can see the exact name in "top"
[06:34] <kousotu> ??
[06:34] <lgc_> Scunizi, I gather that if you buy a legal copy of XP you can register both versions, the dual-boot one and the virtual one. Am I wrong?
[06:34] <sipior> s1icknick: the log entry just shows the reboot, if that's what you're asking
[06:34] <Scunizi> lgc_, yes...
[06:34] <kbrooks> !fixres
[06:34] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:34] <Paddy_EIRE> yes kousotu what scipio  said
[06:34] <neverblue> !pidgin
[06:34] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[06:35] <scipio> kousotu, run top in terminal. it will list the runing applications
[06:35] <macafe_> HI, anyone here already running the kernel 2.6.23 ? I'm think upgrade my release because my sound (Intel Hda alc284) doens't work
[06:35] <kousotu> what is "top"?
[06:35] <s1icknick> sipior: im looking for info right before that reboot.
[06:35] <kousotu> ah..
[06:35] <Scunizi> lgc_, might be cheaper to buy a version of win2kpro off ebay since it's end of life anyway.  Also there might be a linux program that will duplicate the one you want to use.
[06:35] <kurosaki> kousotu, Most likely it's wxvlc
[06:35] <sipior> s1icknick: you might look at /var/log/dmesg, and /var/log/kern.log, but i believe they all go to messages anyway
[06:35] <sipior> s1icknick: also auth.log
[06:35] <lgc_> Scunizi, whenever (original) Windows XP goes down to $10 (which is more or less its real value) I'll think about doing that!
[06:35] <Megaqwerty> say I wanted to reinstall ubuntu, but wanted to keep all my settings, as well as the programs I have installed...how would I go about that? (I already have the home folder backed up)
[06:35] <macafe_> actually I'm using 2.6.22-10
[06:36] <neverblue> can you get pidgin from anywhere? say SoS ?
[06:36] <Paddy_EIRE> kousotu, type 'top' in a terminal
[06:36] <Scunizi> lgc_, :)
[06:36] <sipior> Megaqwerty: depends on what you hope to gain from a reinstall
[06:36] <kousotu> it shows up "invalid"
[06:36] <lgc_> Scunizi, there's a Linux equivalent, allright.
[06:36] <warbler> noelferreira: is it in synaptic package manager?
[06:36] <kousotu> wxvlc app
[06:37] <lgc_> Scunizi, what do you mean by "end of life"?
[06:37] <Scunizi> lgc_, what's the actual name of the program and maybe manufacturer
[06:37] <Cyrus25801> Paddy_EIRE: got it right thanx
[06:37] <Scunizi> lgc_, win2kpro won't be supported for much longer for security updates.
[06:37] <noelferreira> warbler: aptitude is giving me that information. i can't install anything else
[06:37] <steel_lady> Paddy, why when I go to properties it often tells me: some contents unreadable?
[06:37] <lgc_> Scunizi, it's WinDig, and it's freeware in Windoze.
[06:37] <Paddy_EIRE> Cyrus25801, glas to hear :D
[06:37] <sunnypies> I just installed the java jdk  anyone know how to compile a java program with it?
[06:37] <sipior> Megaqwerty: if you just need a larger partition, you could copy your ubuntu partitions onto a scratch disk, and then copy them back onto the new one
[06:37] <Paddy_EIRE> *glad
[06:37] <Megaqwerty> sipior: okay, I was just putting it in those terms so I wouldn't be kicked into ubuntu+1 ;) I really wanted to use this knowledge to upgrade to a clean install of gutsy once released, but not have to install all my apps and configure them one by one
[06:37] <Scunizi> lgc_, I'll look it up.
[06:37] <kaje1> does anyone know of a fix for the HTML Validator addon for Firefox in Ubuntu?
[06:38] <publico> ICO
[06:38] <warbler> noelferreira: "can't install anything else" - what do you mean?
[06:38] <steel_lady> Paddy, maybe I have some garbage on the disk that is using up space?
[06:38] <noelferreira> i mean that i can't install anything warbler
[06:39] <noelferreira> i mean that i can't install anything warbler
[06:39] <s1icknick> sipior : this box is on a network of mainly windows machines. its not in active directory (thus, no OUs). last night our windows updates went out and the windows machines were rebooted at this same time. i tried configuring kerberos at one point to authenticate the domain and im wondering if that had anything to do with it.
[06:39] <sipior> Megaqwerty: ah :) well, your personal preferences will be in your home directory, so no worries there. synaptic will kick out a list of installed packages, but i don't know of any way to install them again automagically
[06:39] <nikin> is there any tutorial on using serial port modems?
[06:39] <lgc_> Scunizi, the Ubuntu package is 'engauge-digitizer', and I just installed it. It looks fine... (but why would I want to install an old Windows program then? Just out of fun; I mught end up learning something)
[06:39] <warbler> noelferreira: are you using sudo?
[06:39] <noelferreira> warbler: yes
[06:40] <neverblue> can you get pidgin from anywhere? not compiling from source...
[06:40] <Megaqwerty> sipior: yeah, it would use dpkg --get-selections and dpkg --set-selections, then use a dselect upgrade...I guess what I'm asking is if I should just back up all of /etc/ as well, and if I need a conf file....there, just answered my own question ;)
[06:40] <sipior> s1icknick: possible i suppose, seems odd that it should restart the box
[06:40] <kaje1> Does anyone know of a fix for the HTML Validator addon for Firefox in Ubuntu?
[06:40] <Scunizi> lgc_, I might be a good experiment for using wine... I'd try it there first. since it's shareware it may not have much in the way of proprietary stuff in it.
[06:40] <s1icknick> i know kinda nnoying
[06:40] <nikin> i connected the modem, and if i try to use it with efax-gtk the TR light goes on but the modem does not answer
[06:40] <sipior> Megaqwerty: yeah :)
[06:41] <s1icknick> cos this box has sometimes rebooted itself in the past ... i thought maybe because i hadntlogged into it for a few days
[06:41] <genii> kaje1: According to their home site, sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
[06:41] <s1icknick> but i used it yesterday..
[06:41] <Megaqwerty> sipior: thanks for helping me figure it out.
[06:41] <warbler> noelferreira: sudo apt-get won't do anything - hmmm - that is why - as a check - I suggested synaptic
[06:41] <sipior> Megaqwerty: no trouble
[06:41] <noelferreira> warbler:  there's nothing to do with sudo. the problem is that i have a package that needed to be reinstalled according to aptitude. however  it repository  can't be founded.
[06:41] <genii> kaje1: Reference: http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/faq.html
[06:41] <sipior> s1icknick: any cron jobs running on this guy? any pattern to the reboots?
[06:42] <notchNICK> anyone using virtualbox here?
[06:42] <kaje1> Yeah, that fix isn't working...
[06:42] <notchNICK> ---------
[06:42] <lgc_> Scunizi, I'd just want to know if I can install it under my root partition or it needs to be installed under /windows.
[06:42] <Paddy_EIRE> !anyone | notchNICK
[06:42] <ubotu> notchNICK: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:42] <noelferreira> warbler: synaptic is just a gui. if you can't do a thing manually how will you do it graphically?
[06:42] <warbler> noelferreira: just looking for the facts - are all repos enabled?
[06:42] <kaje1> Supposed something is different about Debian based distros... I was hoping someone had come up with a solution...
[06:42] <noelferreira> warbler: of course
[06:42] <Scunizi> lgc_, installing which one.. the windows exe or the linux version?
[06:42] <notchNICK> lol
[06:43] <lgc_> Scunizi, the Windows app., WinDig.
[06:43] <genii> kaje1: You could try compiling it from the source
[06:43] <notchNICK> Does anyone use VirtualBox in here?
[06:43] <warbler> noelferreira: your attitude is a disappointment
[06:43] <mauro> hola
[06:43] <pcinistro> Hello, What are the easiest way to download youtube videos?
[06:43] <kaje1> aye, I think I'll try that
[06:43] <noelferreira> warbler: somehow that i don't know a package was not completely installed and now it needs to be reinstalled and aparrentely there's no repository for it.
[06:43] <thingy> notchNICK: Whats the q. ?? Also there is a #vbox channel if you want to ask there instead
[06:44] <floresc7> genii: i did run lspci, i didnt get any information about the driver from that
[06:44] <Scunizi> lgc_, once wine is installed (synaptic), then copy the exe file to your /home direcory someplace (desktop).  Then from the command line navigate to the directory the exe is in and type "wine 'prog'.exe"
[06:44] <noelferreira> warbler: synaptic simple doesn't work if i don't correct that situation first.
[06:44] <warbler> noelferreira: OK - what is the package - that may be of use to HELP YOU
[06:44] <floresc7> genii: sorry, i meant chipset
[06:44] <noelferreira> warbler: secondlife-install
[06:44] <genii> floresc7: lspci shows you a list of PCI devices and where possible, the manufacturer names it can deduce for that hardware. it doesn't have driver info, just hardware info
[06:44] <Dougie> I'm trying to configure how Grip encodes the track names when its ripping right now it does them in all lowercase is there a way to make them uppercase or what not?
[06:45] <notchNICK> thingy the max resolution that I would get is 800x600.. I tried modifying the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf   adding 1280x1024.. yet nothing have changed..
[06:45] <floresc7> genii: its all intel
[06:45] <lgc_> Scunizi, Ah, OK. So it doesn't need to be in a specific place. I drop it anywhere and execute it with Wine...
[06:45] <warbler> noelferreira: one min
[06:45] <genii> floresc7: Likely then Marvell chipset
[06:45] <Scunizi> lgc_, yep
[06:45] <steel_lady> ok, I am going for repartitioning. who is helping witg gparted?
[06:45] <lgc_> Sounds fine. I'll do that. Thanks.
[06:45] <noelferreira> warbler: i use this http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=1240
[06:46] <Scunizi> lgc_, np..
[06:46] <thingy> notchNICK: windows guest?
[06:46] <notchNICK> thingy yes
[06:46] <thingy> notchNICK: installed the additions?
[06:46] <floresc7> genii: so if it is a Marvell chipset, just google to find the drivers?
[06:46] <genii> floresc7: feisty did not work on my Marvell chipset but Gutsy did
[06:46] <pcinistro> There are any script that downloads youtube videos?
[06:47] <genii> floresc7: You could try to find a deb for that
[06:47] <warbler> noelferreira: it is a game. Of course there won't be a repo for it
[06:47] <notchNICK> thingy it just says that I need to type the resolution that I need in that file... couldnt find where it says install additions in the manual
[06:47] <mypapit> pcinistro,  yeah.. try youtube-dl
[06:47] <shrimants> im about to attempt to install ubuntu on my vostro 1500

[06:47] <pcinistro> mypapit, great. thanks.
[06:47] <sambiase> hi..does anyone here run ssl-explorer?
[06:48] <floresc7> genii: is gutsy stable enought right now to upgrade to/
[06:48] <thingy> notchNICK: in the virtualbox window, in the menubar somewhere is a link which allows you to install the guest additions in a windows os once the os is booted up. Can you do that and then try and change res
[06:48] <genii> floresc7: I do not think i would recommend it yet for a production machine.
[06:49] <warbler> noelferreira: that site says the game will load from the makers site
[06:49] <steel_lady> please i WILL DO THE SENSITIVE THING, CAN YOU HELP ME WITH GPARTED?
[06:49] <genii> floresc7: Although i personally have not had any extreme problems with it that were irrecoverable
[06:49] <Goop> I'm having trouble connecting to my access point on the Feisty LiveCD, it won't connect
[06:49] <notchNICK> thingy yes I've clicked on install guest additions and a file has appeared.. but how do I install it?
[06:49] <noelferreira> but is it installed via Gdeb app warbler
[06:50] <noelferreira> warbler: where are deb files stored?
[06:50] <Mba7eth> hi guys .... i'm having a strange prob here .... plz help !
[06:50] <Thulanis> What?
[06:50] <neverblue> !ask | Mba7eth
[06:50] <ubotu> Mba7eth: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:50] <thingy> notchNICK: huh? if youve selected the guest additions menu item, it will mount an iso image as a cdrom in the guest os and auto play the cdrom, which will launch the setup program on the cd which will start the installation of the guest additions.
[06:51] <floresc7> genii: ok, where would i start to find the deb for marvell?
[06:51] <Thulanis> We're no strangers to love. You know the rules, and so do I!
[06:51] <warbler> noelferreira: go to that site - click where it says second life 1.18..1.2 that takes you to where you can install
[06:52] <genii> floresc7: Perhaps google for such things as: "marvell ide" driver deb
[06:52] <scipio> anyone here has sopcast working? i deleted the channels url field in config tab and now i don't have any channels
