[20:27] <Eri1> what good is a gui o/s without a mouse interface..... especially when there's no easy way to see where, how, or why my mouse isn't working.
[20:27] <Cyndrework> is there any system performance testing software for ubuntu?
[20:27] <fde> wastedyouth: haha... good thinking... just watch for newer version of evolution. your current is 2.22.2-0ubuntu2 ... watch for ubuntu3 or 2.22.3, then install that.
[20:27] <gaintsura> SliMM: any luck?
[20:27] <Xcell> Cyndre_work what do you want to test?
[20:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Eri1 It is a logitec mouse that requires special windows only drivers..  nothing we can do will help with that
[20:28] <fde> wastedyouth: Until then, just always uncheck those packages
[20:28] <Eri1> and there's a lot of excuses. and no answers. somebody has to know how to look at where or how the mouse is configured in ubuntu, drivers, etc....
[20:28] <Kl4m> Cyndrework: depends for testing what
[20:28] <Eri1> so, nobody knows how to FIX this.
[20:29] <Cyndrework> kl4m: kinda like a system evaluation that tells you a score for your performance
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Eri1 No. Buy a generic mouse or look in supported hardware wiki
[20:29] <Eri1> even "how do i install a driver".
[20:29] <Eri1> ...
buy a good mouse
[20:29] <Eskimo> hi i need some help configuring apache .. i read the doccuments but since im new to linux i just cant understand it
[20:29] <Eri1> jesus christ.
[20:29] <G_`> any alternatives for gnutella ?
[20:29] <Eskimo> is there a simpler way to install a web server or ftp ?
[20:29] <Pici> !gnutella | G_`
[20:30] <jtisme> !language | Eri1
[20:30] <G_`> !p2p
[20:30] <Cyndrework> Xcell: Sorry - just looking for a performance monitor
[20:30] <Cyndrework> er performance score
[20:30] <G_`> Eskimo, ubuntu has a guide if am not wrong check out
[20:31] <Pxrbot> is there a 'click 'n' fix' way to get ubuntu to recognise i have a broadcom wireless card? im not that great with terminal yet
[20:31] <Gaming4JC> !eMule. :)
[20:31] <Kl4m> Cyndrework: there is no such thing.
[20:31] <sa125> does anybody know of a good gui to convert .avi videos to ipod?
[20:31] <Xcell> Cyndrework  try htop..it is a basic chip and mem reader
[20:31] <sheepmas> hi people - I'm trying to re-install ubuntu, but the live cd installer seems to drop me to a sort of 'busybox' terminal without further info. I've done a bit of googling but couldn't find anything relevant. Any suggestions?
[20:31] <sheepmas> Obviously I've installed it successfully before! Perhaps it's something to do with the fact it's already installed?
[20:31] <Eskimo> G_`: dude i tried apache .. just cant understand how to configure it
[20:32] <sheepmas> (I am trying to swap from x64 to x32)
[20:32] <ijusten> sheepmas, can't help, but "obviously" is usually the reason why something easy fails :)
[20:32] <Kl4m> Cyndrework: but if you want a "task manager" it's the "system monitor" in system -> admin
[20:32] <jessejazza> LOGITECH mouse driver package is called lomoco... in 7.10 repositories (i haven't got round to 8.04!)
[20:32] <G_`> shea|up, does it stop at initramfs ?
[20:32] <sheepmas> hehe - very true ijusten :)
[20:32] <G_`> sheepmas, ^^
[20:33] <sheepmas> G_ - yep, that's the thing.
[20:33] <gordonjcp> !apache | Eskimo
[20:33] <Eskimo> hmm
[20:33] <Eskimo> brb .. lemme check it out
[20:33] <Warbo> Hi, I've given the options to ln in the wrong order and replaced my music folder with a link :( Any way I can recover it?
[20:34] <jessejazza> Eri1: found lomoco?

[20:39] <Dr_Link> I have asked several times, can anyone answer my sound-related question for Ubuntu?
[20:40] <gordonjcp> !ask | Dr_Link
[20:40] <rafase282> Hello
[20:40]  * Dr_Link facepalms.
[20:40] <G_`> sheepmas, while booting add this parameter " generic.all_generic_ide=1" try it
[20:40] <Dr_Link> gordonjcp: I asked twice, without asking first... and I was ignored both times
[20:40] <Dr_Link> In the Sound manager, I have set up to Ensoniq AudioPCI (which is the ONLY PCI one listed, I have integrated sound disabled and the speakers plugged into the sound card
[20:40] <gordonjcp> Dr_Link: I don't care
[20:40] <Dr_Link> when I play a test sound, I hear a "beeeeeeeeep" from the speakers. When I play any other sound, such as that from a .avi file or from .mp3 files that I know work, because I previously could use sound... I hear silence.
[20:40] <Kl4m> Dr_Link: ask the question (again...) , don't ask if someone can answer
[20:40] <PdUb101> hi guys, i seem to be doing more evil then good to my ubuntu hardy, with my limited experience ive been trying to customize several areas of the OS, but the one thats frustrating me the most is i used to be able to spin the cube by holding both mouse buttons down at the same time on the desktop, and it no longer works.. is there a way to send compiz back to defaults?
[20:40] <gordonjcp> Dr_Link: ask the question, I'm not crawling back through a mile of text to find it
[20:40] <Dr_Link> I just did.
[20:40] <gordonjcp> Dr_Link: ok, *no* sounds play at all apart from the test sound?
[20:41] <Dr_Link> That is correct.
[20:41] <Xcell> Dr_Link-- un enable pc skeaper in (sound)
[20:41] <Xcell> spkr beep
[20:41] <rafase282> Anyone using Qemulator?
[20:41] <gordonjcp> Dr_Link: in Preferences are all the sound settings set to ALSA?
[20:41] <LogiTech> mp4 touch resolution " 320X240" good for "MOVIES" ? if i convert dvd quality movies to mp4 touch "320X240" will it be with good picture???
[20:41] <Warbo> Dr_Link, perhaps it's to do with gstreamer or something? Try looking in gstreamer-properties
[20:41] <Kl4m> [Realin]: you need to install the client modules of addition of whatever it is named in the guest OS, then configure the sharing settings on the host to share a folder
[20:42] <IFeelDead> Dead
[20:42] <IFeelDead> That is how i feel
[20:42] <IFeelDead> lol
[20:42] <Xcell> ?
[20:42] <Kl4m> [Realin]: replace "of" with "or".
 Dr_Link: in Preferences are all the sound settings set to ALSA? <-- yes.
[20:43] <[Realin]> of with or, means ?
[20:43] <[Realin]> bah, i am dumb at times :D
[20:43] <elbeardmorez> hi, is there anyway to get hold of patches that were made to the ubuntu6 xorg-server package??
 Dr_Link, perhaps it's to do with gstreamer or something? Try looking in gstreamer-properties <-- I see nothing wrong.
[20:44] <Cyndrework> xcell: ty for the info.  Was looking for something like windows vista system ranking
[20:44] <freefrank> !list
[20:44] <Xcell> Cyndrework-- no problem
[20:44] <IFeelDead> I really need consider to start taking drugs
[20:44] <jpds> freefrank: this is no warez channel
[20:44] <elbeardmorez> specifically this patch regarding sharevts - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/dapper-changes/2006-April/009108.html
[20:45] <jpds> !ot > IFeelDead
[20:45] <[Realin]> guest os is ubuntu and is installed using VMWARE, so u mean i need to search some module for UBUNTU or VMWARE

[20:45] <Xcell> yes
[20:45] <amrik> @find ubuntu isos
[20:45] <IFeelDead> Is that java bot!?
[20:45] <jpds> !bot | IFeelDead
[20:45] <[Realin]> mayne, this channel is happening
[20:45] <Warbo> Dr_Link, it may be pulse audio related, although I'm not too experienced there
[20:45] <Gaming4JC> :D
[20:45] <[Realin]> damn, 1416 ppl. :P
[20:45] <Gosha_> Ah... Got it. Thanks anyway.
[20:45] <gordonjcp> Dr_Link: can you play back any .wav files?
[20:45] <tmapj> Xcell, my screen goes blank when i try to boot up with my graphics card enabled
[20:45] <IFeelDead> Ok, but I mean In what language is that moron programmed?¨
[20:45] <Dr_Link> .wav?
[20:45] <Gaming4JC> ehmmm 1417 ;)
[20:46] <Dr_Link> I don't believe I have any .wav
[20:46] <Gaming4JC> nvm
[20:46] <SliMM> gaintsura:
[20:46] <[Realin]> heheh
[20:46] <Dr_Link> I have .mp3, though.
[20:46] <[Realin]> yeah
[20:46] <SliMM> gaintsura: none
[20:46] <Kl4m> !download | amrik
[20:46] <thehurley> i'm looking at this page (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556714), and I'm wondering what the consequences of the first line are "for dr in $(ndiswrapper -l | grep -o "\w* :" | grep -o "\w*" ); do sudo ndiswrapper -e $dr; done"
[20:46] <[Realin]> i wanna be a part of it too..
[20:46] <Warbo> Dr_Link, look in /usr/share/sounds
[20:46] <Gaming4JC> zooom zoom zoom...
[20:46] <hiptopbot> <-- my t-mobile sidekick irc client
[20:46] <thehurley> will it srew up any of the wired networks
[20:46] <IFeelDead> I don't have friends :p
[20:46] <[Realin]> but i am noob :(
[20:46] <Warbo> Dr_Link, should have some wavs
[20:46] <Dr_Link> Hrm, it seems to be playing now.
[20:46] <tmapj> xcell, another unrelated problem im having is that i cant hear the startup sound.
[20:46] <ompaul> IFeelDead, you are offtopic please don't be
[20:46] <SliMM> gaintsura: perhaps a GRUB floppy disk would help?
[20:46] <fde> [Realin]: Everyone was a "n00b" once... we identify!
[20:46] <gordonjcp> Dr_Link: ok, what have you got it playing?
[20:46] <Xcell> tmapj-- for now..i would re-boot...press escape ..go into recovery mde..allow it to re-do X..give that a try
[20:46]  * Gaming4JC is an ubb33r n00b, but I used so many LiveCDs I'm getting the hang of things
[20:47] <[Realin]> so how do i start.. fde ?
[20:47] <ompaul> !l33t | Gaming4JC
[20:47] <tmapj> what is redo x?
[20:47] <Dr_Link> some .mp3's I downloaded.
[20:47] <Dr_Link> Plays perfectly.
[20:47] <sheepmas> G_`: thanks I'd missed your reply. I'll give the boot params a go.
[20:47] <gordonjcp> Dr_Link: hm
[20:47] <tmapj> Xcell,  what is redo x?
[20:47] <sheepmas> Cheers.
[20:47] <fde> [Realin]: Do you have any extra hard drive space you could give you Ubuntu?
[20:47] <stephenweeven> /leave
[20:47] <gaintsura> SliMM: very interesting.. you could try that, or you could temporarily disable the other bootable devices and basically force it to boot to the cd
[20:47] <gordonjcp> Dr_Link: bit of an odd one, what did you change?
[20:47] <Dr_Link> Funny
[20:47] <Xcell> tmapj-- it will re -do the driver for you
[20:47] <keelobight> I'm trying to get my dual moniters working on ubuntu with an nvidia card...having no luck with twinview...any suggestions?
[20:47] <fde> [Realin]: could give to*
[20:47] <[Realin]> yeah, i got 20GB
[20:47] <Dr_Link> audio doesn't play in VIDEO though...
[20:47] <Dr_Link> strange, indeed.
[20:47] <tmapj> how do i do that xcell
[20:47] <Gaming4JC> (2:at:ii PM) ubottu: GamingaJC: ieet is nigh-incomprehensibie to us noobs, and nobody cares if UR a ieet haxor. Give it a rest.
[20:47] <fde> [Realin]: Already freed up?
[20:47] <Gaming4JC> Haxxor language
[20:48] <Kl4m> [Realin]: you have to install the vmware guest modules. They were in the repositories but I can't find them now (removed from 8.04?)
[20:48] <SliMM> gaintsura: how to disable? just pull out the wires?
[20:48] <gaintsura> well you could do that...
[20:48] <gaintsura> but I'd recommend doing it via bios
[20:48] <[Realin]> yes fde
[20:48] <keelobight> I'm trying to get my dual moniters working on ubuntu with an nvidia card...having no luck with twinview...any suggestions?
[20:48] <ompaul> Gaming4JC, ehh that is the channel bot - I asked it to tell you what it did - so please stay ontopic which is ubuntu support thanks
[20:48] <Xcell> tmapj-- reboot..when txt shows..hit (escape)..go into (recovery-mode)..look for X repair...use that
[20:48] <fde> [Realin]: Great! Have you downloaded an ISO?
[20:48] <[Realin]> thanks kl4m, but how do i look for it, shall i google or using apt-get ?
[20:48] <tmapj> ok
[20:48] <Gaming4JC> ok ompaul :)
[20:48] <tmapj> thanks
[20:48] <Xcell> ok
[20:48] <navetz> is there a way to do cp ./* ~/* and not replace files that already exist but rather give it a new filename?
[20:48] <amrik> !torrents
[20:48] <gaintsura> SliMM: you should be able to disable any other boot devices (something like setting 'Try other boot devices' to disabled) and setting it to boot from CD first
[20:49] <G_`> Dr_Link, if ur getting a specific video without audio then change audio track
[20:49] <[Realin]> fde, i am already using UBUNTU ? and i ordered a DVD from UBUNTU
[20:49] <SliMM> gaintsura: it's set to boot from CD first and from hd 0 second
[20:49] <SliMM> the hdd is empty
[20:49] <Slart> navetz: sometimes when I think cp doesn't do what I want I use rsync instead.. take a look at it.. see if it can do what you want
[20:49] <gaintsura> ok, so set the try other boot devices to disabled
[20:49] <keelobight> is anyone in here running dual monitors?
[20:49] <SliMM> gaintsura: but it tries the floppy
[20:49] <dbarnett> navetz: probably not without a script
[20:49] <Gaming4JC> Ok I'm going to get on LiveCD now from Hoary Hedgehog and see if I can get it started with my modem (The Heron is in the mail).
[20:50] <navetz> Slart: ok thanks.
[20:50] <fde> [Realin]: Cool... then what are you having difficulty with?
[20:50] <Gizmo_The_Great> Does anyone know how Linux software writers write applications that will detect other 'trial versions' of their software having been ran before on Ubuntu? I have an app that even if I download fresh and place in a seperate file, the trial period remains the same as the earlier downloaded instance. Without a registry (like Windows), how does it know?
[20:50] <praet> Q: Is it possible to scranble a plaintext password in a script file (bash)?
[20:50] <Slart> Gizmo_The_Great: never seen that kind of software in linux..
[20:50] <[Realin]> I am on virtaul machine, using VMWARE, where in UBUNTU is my guest OS and host is VISTA HOME
[20:50] <gordonjcp> Gizmo_The_Great: there may be a hidden file in your homedir
[20:50] <Gaming4JC> brb going into Ubuntu
[20:50] <Gizmo_The_Great> Slart, me neither - that's why I was quite shocked
[20:50] <[Realin]> i need to share my VISTA drives to ubuntu
[20:50] <praet> Gizmo_The_Great: look for hidden files
[20:50] <Slart> Gizmo_The_Great: but the home folder and a .file there might work
[20:51] <smo> hi
[20:51] <gordonjcp> Gizmo_The_Great: if you do "ls -al | less" then you can see all the files including hidden ones
[20:51] <sasddfg> which is the command to see the kernel version?
[20:51] <Kl4m> [Realin]: it seems Ubuntu dropped the vmware modules for ubuntu 8.04, in favor of open virtualization such as kvm or virtualbox. You'll have to find them somewhere else
[20:51] <Gizmo_The_Great> praet, Slart yes, good point. I will have a look
[20:51] <gordonjcp> sasddfg: uname -a
[20:51] <sasddfg> thks
[20:51] <gordonjcp> Gizmo_The_Great: what is the app anyway?
[20:51] <[Realin]> shall i shift to kvm/virtualbox ??
[20:51] <praet> virtualbox is great :)
[20:51] <smo> i make some live cd... yesterday i had a kernel update in my chroot so i updated the initramfs, and it still ask for old kernel when booting!!
[20:51] <Gizmo_The_Great> gordonjcp, LightZone by LightCrafts (www.lightcrafts.com)
[20:51] <smo> an idear.?
[20:52] <PdUb101> is there a way to reset compiz to default settings?
[20:52] <keelobight> hi
[20:52] <keelobight> screw this
[20:52] <fde> [Realin]: You need to set up Sharing on the Windows box... then you be able to browse to it via Places > Network > Windows Network
[20:52] <[Realin]> letme check , thanks praet
[20:52] <praet> PdUb101: clear your settings
[20:52] <Kl4m> [Realin]: I recommend virtualbox. I had a vmware workstation 5 for work and went with virtualbox now
[20:52] <PdUb101> praet, how please?
[20:52] <gordonjcp> Gizmo_The_Great: what's that, just something for fiddling with brightness and contrast?
[20:53] <praet> PdUb101: cssm (the config manager) > Preferences
[20:53] <smo> remove compiz dir in /home/xxx/.config PdUb101
[20:53] <smo> or by ccsm..
[20:53] <Gizmo_The_Great> gordonjcp, it's a raw photo processing tool for photographers
[20:53] <gordonjcp> Gizmo_The_Great: hm, it handles .raw files?
[20:53] <praet> in ccsm there is a "reset to defaults button" but smo is right
[20:53] <[Realin]> cool, i am off to google for a while, see u guys, thanks for help :)
[20:53] <[Realin]> one more question, how do i backup the packages which i installed last night? i installed using sudo apt-get. I mean do i have download them everytime i do a clean install ?
[20:53] <Gizmo_The_Great> gordonjcp, yes - very much so
[20:54] <fde> [Realin]: VirtualBox is very nice... KVM allows you to run both OS's side by side, rather than virtualized though, so it's like dual booting without restarting  :)  - your hardware has to support it though.

[20:54] <Asra> anyone else having the problem of Update Manager not starting installs?
[20:54] <gordonjcp> Gizmo_The_Great: I tend to use command-line tools when I'm dealing with .raw images
[20:54] <gordonjcp> Gizmo_The_Great: but then I'm usually dealing with a few thousand at a time ;-)
[20:54] <Slart> [Realin]: if you're going to install a lot of computers on some kind of internal network you can setup a apt cache.. !info apt-cache for more info
[20:54] <PdUb101> smo, ahh thank you!

[20:55] <[Realin]> move packages to other machine, can't i take a backup in dvd/cd ?
[20:55] <Kl4m> [Realin]: use aptoncd
[20:55] <johnathan> hey anyone know anything about DC++?
[20:55] <[Realin]> ok thanks li4m

[20:55] <[Realin]> Kl4m :D
[20:55] <gordonjcp> Gizmo_The_Great: the company I work for shoots timelapse images with DSLRs and specially-made controllers
[20:56] <luckz> sure not if you want to, say, transfer frogmeat to somebody else, but for file sharing it's great ;)
[20:56] <[Realin]> and why do i have to give password everytime and why cant i be root ? What is the password for root, when i din set it.. I mean i was not asked to do that
[20:56] <Gizmo_The_Great> gordonjcp, I have done before too - imagemagick especially. But LightZone has batch processing options. It's better than the GIMP, Photoshop and all those others. Works in 16-bit too. But I take your point - LightZone is not designed for those who take thousands of shots in a shoot - I doubt in your case if you have timelapse stuff to deal with it would not be suitable I don't think

[20:59] <Gizmo_The_Great> In Windows theres a tool called 'FileMon' that shows you the files being created or edited when you run an application. Is there such a tool for Ubuntu?

[21:00] <zeroXten> how do I diagnose compiz related problems? I've logged in to my laptop today and the theme is all broken (although still set to human). Its all blue =/
[21:00] <gordonjcp> Gizmo_The_Great: I want to run one for a full 24 hours, to catch the dawn (sun rises just behind the tower in the middle), and the sunset
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Asra yes in a terminal cli like it shows

[21:02] <Jack_Sparrow> IFeelDead Please dont keep changing your nick..it spams the channel
[21:02] <zeroXten> tried that, it didn't. Well, i was running with minimal effects, but i changed it a few times. I've tried compiz --replace and gtk-window-decorator --replace, but not luck
[21:02] <l815> anyone know how to install a motion eye laptop webcam?

[21:03] <l815> Technoviking, thanks
[21:03] <Jack_Sparrow> LogiTech Sounds a little light on the res to me
[21:04] <Alan_M> !aptfix | asra
[21:04] <Kl4m> LogiTech: it will be good on a 320x240 screen, most screens have much higher resolution than this. 320x240 is for portable devices or low-def TV
[21:04] <hohohoho> hello
[21:04] <hohohoho> help please
[21:04] <gaintsura> LogiTech: it is always better to go down in res then up, unless you've got one hell of a movie converter

[21:06] <tmapj> i have a screen but the harddrive light is on and it wont shut off
[21:06] <Asra> command says can't resolve user
[21:06] <dbarnett> does anyone have issues with lockups switching between users? or Sometimes just locking the screen or logging out?
[21:07] <gaintsura> SliMM: got that right, I actually haven't seen a working floppydrive or disk in about 2 years
[21:07] <Asra> sorry .. can't resolve host
[21:07] <LogiTech> are the iphone and mp4 touch screen resolution different really that big?...

[21:11] <ompaul> Kl4m, as long as someone uses it we will have to tell them the way :-(
[21:11] <gaintsura> lol I set the root password on mine when I first got my ubuntu install running
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Kl4m Obviously some people dont
[21:11] <syrius`> anyone familiar with kernel compilations that would know why a white screen would appear after login right after installing a freshly compiled image?
[21:12] <syrius`> i thought last night it did it because the laptop froze halfway through the compile, so i did the whole compile again this morning, and the same issue happened
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> syrius` What were you trying to accomplish by compiling your own kernel
[21:12] <syrius`> im writing custom device drivers
[21:12] <ompaul> syrius`, then it looks like you broke something else
[21:12] <ompaul> before the compile
[21:12] <jrib> man tar
[21:12] <Asra> ok .. root pw fixed ... even gave me an can't resolve host on that command btw
[21:13] <Xcell> tmapj
[21:13] <syrius`> ok
[21:13] <syrius`> hmm
[21:13] <_Christian> hi ?
[21:13] <newibae> Can anyone help me get out of this low graphics mode... I tried installing nvidia drivers on my own and have been stuck with lowgraphics mode for 2 days
[21:13] <syrius`> i used the instructions from the ubuntu site, i'll try a diff one
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Asra sounds like more is borked up than just the updates
[21:13] <ompaul> !resolution | newibae
[21:13] <gaintsura> anyone know why I cant upgrade gdm? ubuntu is telling me that there is an update for it, but when I go to get it, says location not found
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> syrius` try compiling with no changes just to make sure nothing else is going on
[21:13] <danand> syrius` - did you compile your gfx card driver yourself? if your using a new kernel name or such you might need to recompile your gfx driver.... had this issue before...
[21:13] <SliMM> gaintsura: i think i've found a working floppy disk
[21:14] <Asra> hmmm .. not really .. all is working fine except that ... must say ... updates are still trying to run as we speak though
[21:14] <gaintsura> SliMM: lol nice
[21:14] <syrius`> I am using an ATI Radeon Mobility driver, and using the restricted-modules to support it
[21:14] <SliMM> gaintsura: yeah, i did, just some old TIFFs
[21:14] <syrius`> but did not recompile those yet
[21:14] <syrius`> i was undert he impression i had to do the initial compile/install before i could recompile the restricted modules
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Asra Updates wont run and sudo has issues etc..
[21:14] <cotorrux> hello, im new here, can someone help me with a little problem?
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[21:15] <_Christian> hi i need help i have my ubuntu server 8.04 installed and i conect other hd to slave for more space in the pc
[21:15] <syrius`> danand: I need to recompile gfx drivers before the kernel compile is what you're saying?
[21:15] <_Christian> but the bios yes detect but when iniciate the ubuntu only i have 1 hd :/ !
[21:15] <syrius`> on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomRestrictedModules it says: Note: this will only work if you have created AND installed linux-image and linux-header or linux-source packages
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> cotorrux Welcome.. Please just try and form the best question possible
[21:16] <Gaming4JC> hello again, I have some troubles... :(
[21:16] <cotorrux> ok..how can i charge in the console the xfce goodies after install?
[21:16] <SliMM> gaintsura: ha! a working GRUB floppy
[21:16] <Gaming4JC> I can't compile this since I can't get the compilation tools without being online, if some one could please make a deb for: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-6_for_Ubuntu-2.6.15-23-386.tgz much creditz and thanks. :)
[21:16] <syrius`> I'm also using the up to date kernel, just recompiling it and for the --append-to-version i'm just doing 'rupert', my machine name
[21:16] <ganjaman> i need weedbuntu
[21:16] <Kl4m> _Christian, first you have to edit partitions on this disk if necessary. using fdisk or cfdisk or parted. You can see partitions for all local disks with sudo fdisk -l
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ganjaman Cute.. but offtopic
[21:17] <danand> syrius` - no ... just that you may need to recompile the gfx drivers against the new version of the kernel your running. I had this problem with my nvidia card on an old debian box. each time i recompiled the kernel (i was always screwing up my options :)) i had to recompile the gfx drivers before X would work again...
[21:17] <_Christian> ·<{Kl4m}>·
[21:17] <syrius`> ahhhh
[21:17] <ganjaman> kl4m roger
[21:17] <newibae> I need help reinstalling the nvidia restricted drivers to get out of Low-graphics mode
[21:17] <newibae> helpppp
[21:17] <ompaul> !resolution | newibae
[21:17] <Kl4m> _Christian: if you don't need to touch any paritions on it, you need to edit (yeah unfortunately...) /etc/fstab to use the files on the partitions
[21:17] <gaintsura> SliMM: even better, now see if you can boot to the cd from there
[21:17] <Kl4m> !fstab | _Christian
[21:17] <ganjaman> !call kl4m
[21:17] <syrius`> danand: So i would compile the new kernel, just not run it yet.. recompile the restricted-modules, then load the new kernel?
[21:18] <ompaul> ganjaman, what you doing?
[21:18] <Xcell> newibae--  also install nvidia settings manager..works good
[21:18] <newibae> its not finding my nvidia drivers
[21:18] <abyss> lo anyone can assist me in installing a graphic tablet Aiptek HyperPen 8000 (x-server drivers for hyperpen and aiptek already installed)!?
[21:18] <_Christian> ok ok wait..
[21:18] <newibae> I hav a green bar for half the screen
[21:18] <Gaming4JC> !guessthenumber
[21:18] <Gaming4JC> :-/
[21:18] <ganjaman> ah i think kl4m is a ham callsing
[21:18] <Asra> Jack ... send you a private message .. hope you don't mind
[21:18] <SliMM> gaintsura: well, that's the problem

[21:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC Please dont abuse the bot.. he gets angry
[21:19] <ganjaman> cq i got a problem
[21:19] <SliMM> gaintsura: how can i do that?
[21:19] <Gaming4JC> oh.
[21:19] <Kl4m> I don't do ham only bacon
[21:19] <Xcell> qsk
[21:19] <newibae> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver Please edit your X configureation
[21:19] <newibae> then I type nvidia-xconfig as root and same crap happens
[21:19] <gaintsura> add a new line in the grub, /dev/hda0 (I think thats right, you might want to check with someone else to make sure)
[21:20] <ompaul> Kl4m, ehh you are offtopic
[21:20] <syrius`> ok tryin to recompile restricted-modules first lets give this a try
[21:20] <leonardus> We wish to setupa a linux user group in our college can you let me know what are the official procedures involved in it
[21:20] <Asra> Uhm ... Jack_Sparrow?
[21:20] <ganjast> heh
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Asra YEs?
[21:20] <gaintsura> is there a way to add the force option in the /etc/fstab file to a drive?
[21:21] <Alan_M> leonardus, not the room to ask about that, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:21] <Asra> could you come to the IM I opened
[21:21] <newibae> sudoneo
[21:21] <luckz> leonardus: I'm not sure what kind of 'official procedures' there could be
[21:21] <ganjast> i got a problem with fstab
[21:21] <Jack_Sparrow> gaintsura I would not routinely force a drive in fstab..
[21:21] <newibae> NO Proprietary drivers are in use on this system......... What do i do
[21:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !pm | Asra
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ganjast Please describe the problem.
[21:22] <ganjast> how can i change from ext3 to xfs without reinstall ubuntu?
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> newibae try envyng
[21:22] <Asra> *sigh* ... ok
[21:22] <danand> syrius` - hmmm.... not sure... can you not get to a shell to try and fix/compile your driver with your new kernel running? By the way have you looked in your X logs to see what is causing the problem... may not be anything to do with the gfx driver or kernel ... I would try and look at those first...
[21:22] <syrius`> danand: would i be able to PM you for a moment?
[21:22] <danand> ok
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ganjast That isnt an fstab issue..  more like a death wish..    make a backup
[21:22] <ganjast> is there something like a convertfs /dev/sda1 ext3 xfs or command?
[21:23] <Asra> I'll see what it does after restart since I now took of my Root pw
[21:23] <Xcell> lol
[21:23] <Kl4m> ganjast: you can't change the filesystem from ext to xfs without formatting that partition. You need a backup, then reformat, and put the files back
[21:23] <ganjast> i have everything backed up
[21:23] <ganjast> but only the files, not the settings
[21:23] <Jack_Sparrow> ganjast everything...  not just your files
[21:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup
[21:24] <SliMM> gaintsura: no idea? :-s
[21:24] <Kl4m> ganjast: Is this "another" partition or the / partition
[21:24] <NetTroller> I have a friend been trying for days to install ubuntu..this is his most recent error if anybody has any suggestions:Filesystem type is ntfs, partition type 0x7

[21:32] <Jack_Sparrow> NetTroller Correct.. he cannot install to a regular ntfs partition
[21:33] <Technoviking> where can I set the font Java applications (java -jar app.jar) use?
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> NetTroller Stick with default ext3

[21:33] <gribiii> is there someone who has experience with xen?
[21:33] <iDope> dd_recover anyone???
[21:34] <iDope> where can I get it
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !find dd
[21:34] <iDope> google isnt helping much here
[21:34] <iDope> :)
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> iDope google hirenscd
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> iDope google hirens cd
[21:34]  * Gaming4JC *sighs* looks like I can't compile it...
[21:34] <iDope> hokay
[21:34] <Gaming4JC> there should be winmodem support imo
[21:34] <etronik> trying to upgrade from 6.06 (Dapper) to latest 8.04 (Hardy Heron?) - anybody done it ??
[21:35] <Gaming4JC> How about me, Hedgehog to Heron? xD
[21:35] <iDope> but Jack_Sparrow I want dd_recover on ubuntu
[21:35] <Gaming4JC> no support for Hedgehog lol
[21:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC It has to do with open source, propietary drivers and WIndows only hardware
[21:35] <Gaming4JC> oh
[21:35] <gribiii> some installed xen on ubuntu 8.04?
[21:35] <Gaming4JC> still
[21:35] <Gaming4JC> there is open source drivers?
[21:35] <esref> hello
[21:35] <Gaming4JC> is it not possible to package them into Ubuntu
[21:35] <esref> yes
[21:35] <Gaming4JC> or legalities of some kind
[21:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC no it is not

[21:37] <thehurley> hello, i'm trying to get my zyxel m102 wireless network card working under ubuntu 8.04.  I've followed a guide in a thread (http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556714), but the card doesn't seem to be powering on.  http://pastebin.com/d4fef5df7
[21:37] <thehurley> any advice?
[21:37] <erpo> What should the directory ownership and permissions be on ~/.dbus ?
[21:38] <Gaming4JC> OK, What I am wondering is why there is no official support (on Ubuntu or any distro) for WinModems. If it be legaliteis it seems kind of strange since it's Open Source coding... Also, there should be a list of distributers with Linux 'Hardware' Modems that is well defined. just a thought.
[21:38] <erpo> Gaming4JC: Winmodem manufacturers don't release documentation on how their hardware works, so FOSS driver writers can't write drivers. It's nothing to do with the law.
[21:39] <Jatz> winmodem manufacturers are jerks
[21:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC We cant provide drivers for your winmodem.. for one dialup is dead and no one wants to bother..  There is a list of supported hardware available.. and was linked for you earlier
[21:39] <virtuald> sound from the adobe flash plugin in stopped working, where can i look for error messages?
[21:39] <erpo> Jack_Sparrow: Dialup is not dead. I just hooked a friend up to dialup and I had to put windows on her PC because her modem wasn't supported under linux.
[21:39] <Gaming4JC> What about the drivers here? http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ couldn't they be included then
[21:39] <Jack_Sparrow> virtuald Run ff in a terminal
[21:39] <Gaming4JC> Yes, dial-up is still popular here :-/
[21:39] <Jatz> quick question: what's a command to get the total size of a folder?
[21:40] <erpo> Jack_Sparrow: She was using Linux just fine before that at a place with DSL, but that wasn't available at her new home.
[21:40] <Jack_Sparrow> erpo exactly my point
[21:40] <Asra> Jack_Sparrow: Found it ... the resolving host thing ... Sudo Nano /etc/Hosts ... then at the <IP_ADDRESS> add the name of the local computer .. somehow that got erased at some earlier patchwork
[21:40] <Starnestommy> Jack_Sparrow: du -h
[21:40] <Starnestommy> er, Jatz
[21:40] <HSorgYves> morning, when i see "^L" as character (not the 2 character sequence) in pico, how can i type it from my keyboard?
[21:40] <Asra> now I hope I can install the updates
[21:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Asra hope it works
[21:40] <virtuald> HSorgYves: ctrl-l
[21:40] <Gaming4JC> erpo: Did you try some drivers at this site? http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/
[21:41] <Asra> Like a charm!!
[21:41] <Gaming4JC> It seems to work if I could only compile it...
[21:41] <Asra> its updating now :)
[21:41] <l815> had to run a dpkg configure and it's stuck trying to load module r5u870.. how can i fix it?
[21:41] <danand> Jatz - du -sh flodername
[21:41] <HSorgYves> virtuald: not for the menu commands... inside a text file
[21:41] <Gaming4JC> only site with working links ;) linmodems is down btw (all the links broken)
[21:41] <virtuald> sorry, don't know
[21:41] <cens0red> What does this error mean? "The application 'evolution' (/usr/bin/evolution) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked"
[21:41] <Jack_Sparrow> erpo So she installed an expensive OS.. $100 instead of buying a supported modem for under $25.. not very smart
[21:42] <virtuald> it might be impossible to do with pico
[21:42] <Childi> Hi
[21:42] <erpo> Jack_Sparrow: $0.
[21:42] <virtuald> (i.e. read the documentation)
[21:42] <Gaming4JC> Jack_Sparrow: She probably couldn't find a modem. I looked everywhere for Linux ones
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> erpo Piracy is not supported here..
[21:42] <erpo> Jack_Sparrow: The computer was bought used with a windows license. I just removed it to install Linux when she had DSL, which she was quite happy with.
[21:42] <jack-desktop> I can't get any music to play on my computer (local files, internet sound works fine)
[21:42] <Yachaziel> !piracy | erpo
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC virtually every external modem is a true hardware modem
[21:43] <l815> had to run a dpkg configure and it's stuck trying to load module r5u870.. how can i fix it?
[21:43] <erpo> Yachaziel: Please read my comment to Jack_Sparrow.
[21:43] <Gaming4JC> virtually?
[21:43] <Gaming4JC> /me guesses he will get a bad one.
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> erpo even with the free license, she now has to deal with adware, spyware, antivirus.. those are not free
[21:44] <Childi> Hey, i got an problem. I was thinking to get my country's tv channel. But when i launched caffeine and thinked to scan the list, i saw theres not my country on the list at all, i just got "at-Inssbruck". Help please (:
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> erpo not to mention what your time was worh installing it for her
[21:44] <erpo> Jack_Sparrow: I like Linux as much as the next guy, but she barely uses her computer. Word processing and email. No attachments.
[21:44] <Yachaziel> erpo: I agree with Jack_Sparrow, still.
[21:44] <erpo> Yachaziel: I didn't pirate anything.
[21:44] <HSorgYves_> re
[21:45] <Methoxypropan> Hello
[21:45] <erpo> Jack_Sparrow: She helped me start my business. I owe her a lot of time.
[21:45] <Childi> Hey, i got an problem. I was thinking to get my country's tv channel. But when i launched caffeine and thinked to scan the list, i saw theres not my country on the list at all, i just got "at-Inssbruck". Help please (:
[21:45] <Jack_Sparrow> erpo I dint mean to drift offtopic and into discussion, just trying to point out the irony of that situation
[21:45] <Gaming4JC> erpo: Haven't you found it a pain to get linux modem drivers too? All I'm saying is they need support for it and a lot of people still use Dial-Up...
[21:45] <Gaming4JC> :)
[21:45] <Childi> So how i can download the scanning tv channel list? whats the command?
[21:45] <erpo> Jack_Sparrow: Anyway, the point is that lack of winmodem support is what caused the switch to Windows.
[21:46] <l815> what do i do when terminal is stuck loading a module ?
[21:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC Buy the driver..  something like $30...
[21:46] <erpo> Jack_Sparrow: Not that I fault Ubuntu for not having winmodem support. That's unreasonable to ask.
[21:46] <l815> nvm
[21:46] <l815> it finally finished :)
[21:46] <Gaming4JC> Jack_Sparrow: WHERE can I buy it, me pay, me pay! lol
[21:46] <Jack_Sparrow> let me look...
[21:46] <etronik> my 6.06 to 8.04 upgrade via update-manager gives me an "unresolvable  problem while calculating the upgrade" - so what are my options ??
[21:47] <Gaming4JC> PC-TEL HSP56 MicroModem, also willing to buy a good modem.
[21:47] <erpo> Gaming4JC: Yes, it is a pain. Also, I don't feel the Linux dial-up supporting utilities are as polished as the Windows versions.
[21:47] <Roughneck_cowboy> hello, I installed my Nvidiadriver which appears in "system tools" but my card is not recognised in "system -> drivers"
[21:47] <Gaming4JC> agreed.
[21:47] <zvacet> etronik : is your Dapper up to date
[21:47] <etronik> zvacet: yep

[21:49] <erpo> Gaming4JC: Do you have a serial port on your PC?
[21:49] <zvacet> etronik : try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[21:50] <Yachaziel> No cereal ports. I'm all out of milk. =)
[21:50] <Gaming4JC> erpo: It's being used by a DexDrive, but yes.
[21:50] <etronik> zvacet: ok, will try that
[21:50] <erpo> Gaming4JC: If you get a modem that connects to the serial port, it will work with Linux.
[21:50] <HSorgYves_> when i see "^L" as character (not the 2 character sequence) in a text in pico (not the command line), how can i type it from my keyboard?
[21:50] <erpo> Gaming4JC: Unless you go way out of your way to find some nonstandard thing that doesn't.
[21:50] <Gaming4JC> erpo: Where would I get one? (gives up after days of googleing)
[21:50] <jokoon> Hello, I'm a G4 ibook user, powerpc shit etc, I'm getting an error each time synaptic or update manager finishes his job, like ld script return error 0 about open office latex thing... I tried remove completely, but I still have the error ...

[21:51] <HSorgYves_> Yachaziel: that is 2 characters...
[21:51]  * Gaming4JC thinks of a million dollar idea! *gasp* a Linux Modem shop.
[21:51] <erpo> Gaming4JC: You can also get internal PCI modems that will work with Linux, but it's more difficult to pick a winner.
[21:51] <Yachaziel> HSorgYves_: I mean, that's the sequence, not the symbol, in pico?

[21:54] <moonyloony> how can i mount my ntfs partition ?:(

[21:54] <neavbie> cAN SOMEONE ANSWER THIS
[21:55] <rodrego> help plis
[21:55] <moonyloony> more specific
[21:55] <erpo> Gaming4JC: What you want in a PCI modem is a device that actually pretends to be a serial port (connected to a modem). These are sometimes called "hardware modems" as opposed to "software modems" or "winmodems".
[21:55] <neavbie> I forgot the command I ran... something about  install nvidia glx
[21:55] <codecaine> whats the question
[21:55] <neavbie> Do u know what that command was
[21:55] <neavbie> that actually worked for me
[21:55] <etronik> zvacet: yes, exactly to the point ! not too much too it really ...
[21:55] <samadi> quit
[21:55] <Starnestommy> neavbie: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx?
[21:55] <neavbie> yes..
[21:55] <neavbie> thanks
[21:55] <codecaine> just open synaptics and type in nvidia
[21:55] <codecaine> neavbie and you will see
[21:55] <rodrego> e instalado el azureus y no encuentro el directorio donde estan mis descargas
[21:55] <rodrego> soy nuevo en linux por eso
[21:55] <neavbie> synaptics wont open for me in low graphics mode
[21:56] <Gaming4JC> erpo: I know what I'm looking for but I've yet to find a place that sells them. (My ISP said in quote "uhhhhhhh.....no sorry *click*".)
[21:56] <neavbie> I typed nvidia-xconfigure
[21:56] <neavbie> and it went back to low graphics mode..
[21:56] <daniele> tu.it
[21:56] <erpo> Gaming4JC: Unfortunate.
[21:56] <Gaming4JC> lol
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> moonyloony sudo fdisk and verify the partition you want to mount... sudo mkdir /media/Descriptive_Name_for_Mount... gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and add /dev/sda(x)              /media/sda5-ntfs     ntfs-3g users,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=007 0 0        then mount -a to re-read your fstab settings.  Note.. disable any previous mounts in your fstab pointing to the same drive/partition
[21:56] <codecaine> you probably jus tneed to edit the neavbie xorg.conf
[21:56] <zvacet> etronik : Only thing I can think of is to rty with Hardy alternate CD
[21:56] <neavbie> how codecaine?
[21:57] <rodrego> hola

[21:59] <Gaming4JC> erpo: ok thanks. I've searched quite a bit no luck. At least your getting some things, lol.
[22:00] <codecaine> why would you have 2 share points?
[22:00] <codecaine> you can if you rename the shares

[22:02] <giancarlo> i thought that is the italian
[22:02] <giancarlo> ok tnx
[22:02] <sadaiyappan> not my PC BIOS
[22:02] <sadaiyappan> but my psx bios
[22:02] <Daisuke_Ido> sadaiyappan: here's an idea, go buy a ps2
[22:02] <perillux> I need to make a small modification to a python script...  so.. how can I run terminal commands from within the script?
[22:03] <Daisuke_Ido> acquiring the bios is illegal
[22:03] <sadaiyappan> hey daisuke_ido
[22:03] <Daisuke_Ido> unless you dump it from your own console
[22:03] <sadaiyappan> hey daisuke_ido I have a PS3
[22:03] <Daisuke_Ido> that's not a psx or a ps2
[22:03] <Daisuke_Ido> doesn't count.
[22:03] <Gaming4JC> true.
[22:03] <Daisuke_Ido> even a ps2 wouldn't count, because the emulators require a psx bios
[22:04] <sadaiyappan> it starts up then quits immediately
[22:04] <sadaiyappan> i just got the sound and video plugins configured
[22:04] <Gaming4JC> If you own the system your emulating it's usually legal. (Considering you got the console from a good source)

[22:07] <pale-yafa> hi, quanta usually acts great and show suggestions when I need to enter strings only, but some times it just start showing suggestions all the time, how to solve that ?
[22:08] <Gin> Alan_M: yea, I see that
[22:08] <Alan_M> gin, click it :D
[22:08] <jdenhaer> Hello all

[22:10] <Alan_M> gin, im not sure you might have to try gconf-editor and look under nautilus and see what settings are there.
[22:10] <iso> gator: make sure gstream packages are installed
[22:11] <turbolover> hey guys, i enabled the proprietary nvidia driver and rebotoed, adn get a black screen

[22:12] <gator> i was watching as it installed and it did say that gstreamer was installed
[22:12] <zvacet> aguitel : gconf-editor in terminal
[22:12] <Alan_M> aguitel, you may open it by going to terminal and typing gconf-editor (I do not suggest playing around in there unless you REALLY know what your doing.)
[22:12] <dave_X> cant you help me install bestcrpt
[22:13] <dave_X> not enough hard drive space
[22:13] <davidmo> Hi guys

[22:13] <vic1ous> Hey, can some tell me what the difference in Ubuntu 32bit and 64bit is compatability wise. And also whats the difference in the DVD versions and CD versions.
[22:13] <Alan_M> aguitel, then you dont need gconf-editor for that :)
[22:13] <Gin> what will happen if you are copying a big file and accidently deleted the big file with alt+delete before it finish the copy job?
[22:13] <aguitel> Alan_M: how i lock ?
[22:13] <davidmo> but the termmianl and firefox try to popen but don't open
[22:14] <Alan_M> you can add a applet to your panels to do that aguitel
[22:14] <Slart> vic1ous: 64-bit version can handle more memory.. otherwise it's about the same
[22:14] <tony> hey i need help seeting up my wireless for my a205-s5814 toshiba satelite laptop.
[22:14] <davidmo> I restart pc2 and sometime work and others no
[22:14] <aguitel> Alan_M: what applet ?
[22:14] <davidmo> do you  know any solution?
[22:14] <tony> can someone help?
[22:14] <gator> you still there iso??
[22:14] <Slart> vic1ous: and the dvd version contains more packages than the cd-version.. good for those internt-less installs
[22:14] <neavbie> What is the command to Enable NV graphics?
[22:14] <perillux> I need to make a small modification to a python script...  so.. how can I run terminal commands from within the script?
[22:14] <Alan_M> aguitel, right click your menu, click "add to panel" and find "lock screen"
[22:15] <aguitel> Alan_M: ok
[22:15] <Alan_M> aguitel, then click add
[22:15] <tuxed> habe mir auf noch eine angemeldet :-)
[22:15] <vic1ous> Slart, what about program compatability like flash for the 64bit i heard that there is a lot of programs that don't work with 64.
[22:15] <Veliouras> hi
[22:16] <Veliouras> cab somebody tell me how to install hjsplit?
[22:16] <Slart> vic1ous: well.. there are some things that aren't available for 64-bit.. java, flash, wine are three examples.. they can all be installed by using some workarounds
[22:16] <gator> does any one know how to update sound drivers??
[22:16] <Slart> vic1ous: but it's getting better and better.. I don't feel limited by using 64-bit ubuntu
[22:16] <CaptainMorgan> what is going on with the "partial upgrades" ? this is the first I've ever seent them since 5.04
[22:16] <hrhodes3114> I am having a fun time trying to get wireless to work on my aspire 5315 -2326 plus the bios says the optical drive is a cdrw not a dvd
[22:16] <Starnestommy> Slart: the wine packages work fine for me on 64-bit
[22:16] <CaptainMorgan> partial updates
[22:17] <hrhodes3114> lol
[22:17] <RuyalarPrensi> http://imaj.at/44128 why?
[22:17] <Slart> Starnestommy: yes.. but they are still 32-bit =)
[22:17] <YZ666> Buenas
[22:17] <YZ666> hay alguien?
[22:17] <Odd-rationale_> !es | YZ666
[22:18] <YZ666> perdon
[22:18] <vic1ous> last question can you point me to a download of the 32bit cd. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download      doesnt seem to be working correctly.
[22:18] <|DuReX|> how do I get console instead of Gnome ?
[22:18] <Slart> vic1ous: try again later.. I don't have any other download sites..
[22:18] <rajalot> hello! this is most likely retarded question, but if I compile my own kernel, can I still use apt-get for normal repositories?
[22:18] <kindofabuzz> |DuReX|, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[22:18] <erpo> How trouble-free is the 64-bit edition of ubuntu compared to the 32-bit edition?
[22:19] <|DuReX|> kindofabuzz: it doesn't gimme console, get some 'locked' gnome screen then :x
[22:19] <kindofabuzz> |DuReX|, huh?  you gotta login
[22:19] <Slart> erpo: I don't any problems in my day to day use
[22:19] <hrhodes3114> If some one want to help a newbe com to ubantu
[22:19] <Slart> erpo: *I don't have..
[22:19] <erpo> Slart: Do you use binary-only software from other people? Like the nvidia driver or the flash plugin?
[22:20] <|DuReX|> when I stop gdm
[22:20] <neavbie> Can someone helpe me install these damn NVIDIA drivers
[22:20] <|DuReX|> I just get a 'locked' login screen lol :x
[22:20] <neavbie> its impossible i cant do it
[22:20] <WebGuest> would anyone be kind enough to try and help me setup wireless? It's nearly there I think!
[22:20] <kindofabuzz> |D will put you at command line
[22:20] <Slart> erpo: I use songbird and nvidias drivers.. no problem there
[22:20] <Slart> erpo: and I use adobe's flash
[22:20] <|DuReX|> kindofabuzz: doesn't :(
[22:20] <neavbie> Can someone help me install invidia drivers
[22:20] <erpo> Slart: Thanks for the info. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question. :)
[22:21] <erUSUL> !nvidia | neavbie
[22:21] <kindofabuzz> I just found out emerald doesn't work with NVIDIA's binarys, you have to use the restricted install or Envy for emerald to work
[22:21] <Slart> erpo: you're welcome
[22:21] <zvacet>  vic1ous:  http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/
[22:21] <vic1ous> ty zvacet
[22:21] <neavbie> so basiclaly help myself which I have been doingj for the last 2 days ok
[22:21] <zvacet> zvacet : np
[22:21] <Slart> neavbie: restricted drivers
[22:22] <MrBashir> is there a channel for Folding@home?
[22:22] <Slart> neavbie: system, hardware drivers.. there should be an item there called nvidia
[22:22] <neavbie> i cant get restricted drivers
[22:22] <l815> im having trouble with motion eye webcam.. the light flashes but the video is black..
perhaps a specific question might help
[22:22] <neavbie> hardware drivers gives me a empty list
[22:22] <kindofabuzz> Mr_Sonoma, searchirc.com
[22:22] <aguitel> Alan_M: i cnnot access to panel
[22:22] <perillux> I need to make a small modification to a python script...  so.. how can I run terminal commands from within the script?
[22:22] <|DuReX|> kindofabuzz: rebooted and now it works :)
[22:22] <kindofabuzz> perillux, use IDLE
[22:22] <Luhta> neavbie, the easiest way is to go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and check the box next to video then reboot
[22:22] <CaptainMorgan> perillux, off-topic
[22:22] <Slart> !nvidia | neavbie, try these urls
[22:22] <Starnestommy> perillux: make sure that os has been imported, then use os.system('command to run')
[22:23] <neavbie> Luhta: there is no check box there the list is empty
[22:23] <Alan_M> aguitel, are you the main user of your computer (adminstrator)?
[22:23] <aguitel> Alan_M: i am the only user
[22:23] <Luhta> neavbie then if you're certain you have an nvidia video card, install envyng via synaptic or apt and run that to install your drivers
[22:24] <WebGuest> can anyone help me with a wireless connection? it has detected the network but i'm struggling to connect to it!
[22:24] <Fogel1497> The flash plugin in firefox is skippy and sucks. Are there any alternatives?
[22:24] <Slart> ah.. envyng.. yes.. forgot about that option
[22:24] <Alan_M> aguitel, thats very strange, is the panel not visible or can you just not get to a menu because of restrictions?
[22:24] <Slart> Fogel1497: nothing that is better
[22:24] <Slart> Fogel1497: the alternatives are even worse
[22:24] <neavbie> Luhta: when I do that envy doesnt install correctly it errors, and when it does install i get low-graphics mode on boot
[22:24] <amrik> Fogel1497: well not really. that crappy plugin is as good as it gets, im afraid
[22:24] <aguitel> Alan_M: the panel is visible
[22:24] <CaptainMorgan> Fogel1497, firefox 2 or 3 ?
[22:24] <kindofabuzz> Fogel1497, try the Flash 10 beta, got rid of my skips
[22:24] <Luhta> envyng does not have 173.xx driver though so if you need that one you'll have to get it from the nvidia website
[22:24] <Fogel1497> firefox 3
[22:25] <Fogel1497> ok ill try it. im thinking about getting a plugin to download the embedded flash, and hopefully it would play better there
[22:25] <Luhta> neavbie, and you're 100% certain you have an nvidia card?
[22:25] <kindofabuzz> Fogel1497, http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[22:25] <aguitel> Alan_M: right click ,no option to add panel
[22:25] <amrik> kindofabuzz: does flash 10 beta solve 64-bit issues?
[22:25] <CaptainMorgan> Fogel1497, you could try reverting back to 2, 3 has all kinds of problems which could include the flash player
[22:25] <jdenhaer> need help, if anyone has time
[22:25] <Alan_M> aguitel, im not sure of how to tackle this issue.....this is definately a new one on me.
[22:25] <kindofabuzz> amdunno, i don't have a 64
[22:26] <l815> how come my webcam works with xawtv but not cheese?
[22:26] <kindofabuzz> amrik, dunno
[22:26] <Alan_M> aguitel, can you get a run application dialog by pressing the alt key and f2 key together?

[22:29] <Slart> Gaming4JC: you can't compile it yourself?
[22:29] <hrhodes3114> :-D
[22:29] <jdenhaer> with the module-assistant you can modprobe the dazuko module
[22:29] <zvacet> jdenhaer : no,never worked with it but somebody does and just waith and you will get your answer (I hope)
[22:29] <jdenhaer> k
[22:30] <Gaming4JC> Slart: No because I cannot get online to get the tools to compile it. It's impossible without a connection. (Using windows xp now)

[22:39] <Pelo> unr3a1, you can do a search in the terminal with  apt-cache search keyword or in gui using synaptic from the admin menu
[22:39] <newcomer008> hello
[22:39] <Pelo> Gaming4JC,  I can't compile a driver on my machine for use in yours,  I woudln'T know how anyway
[22:39] <Pelo> Gaming4JC, check your modem model here  see what it says   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[22:39] <Pelo> !hi newcomer008
[22:40]  * Pelo thinks ubottu sucks,   ubotu is much more freindly
[22:40] <newcomer008> im new to ubuntu and ive got a little prob with wlan and wpa. maybe someone can help me?
[22:40]  * Pelo got an advance replacement mobo from asus that was phisicaly damaged
[22:41] <Gaming4JC> ok then... DOES Anyone, know how to compile ANYTHING. Just a quick question.
[22:41] <Gaming4JC> :)
[22:41] <Pelo> newcomer008, try asking specific questions on your issue and check in the forum  www.ubuntuforums.org ,   I can't realy help on this but maybe others can
[22:41] <Alan_M> Gaming4JC, sure
[22:41] <daemon3> That's weird...Gnome is frozen when I log on...It's frozen every single time.
[22:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile
[22:41] <Starnestommy> Gaming4JC: usually a matter of installing build-essential, then reading the readme or install files
[22:41] <Gaming4JC> Yep.
[22:41] <Gaming4JC> Online.
[22:41]  * Pelo sees Jack_Sparrow swinging to the rescue in a nick of time , just like in the movies
[22:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Starnestommy and kernel headers for his cup
[22:42] <Starnestommy> and that
[22:42] <modustollens> boosy?
[22:42] <Gaming4JC> The problem is I don't have an internet connection. Because I need a modem driver, which needs to be compiled.
[22:42] <newcomer008> Pelo, ive read already in nearly every forum for about weeks now, but nothing works.
[22:42] <newcomer008> im able to connect to non-secured wlan networks, but cant connect to my own wpa2 secured network at home :(
[22:42]  * Gaming4JC is repeating himself...
[22:42] <jokoon> Hello I'm looking for a terminal with outlined fonts, is there something existing in ubuntu ? some package ?
[22:42] <soundray> jokoon: what are outlined fonts?
[22:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC YOu were linked to a free but slower driver that would give you internet access
[22:43] <Pelo> Gaming4JC, you got your install cd ? you can install build-essential from that , then you can use this connection to get the source file from where ever and transfer it to your other comp using a usb key or a flioppy or somesuch
[22:43] <jokoon> soundray : I mean outlined rendered text
[22:43] <Gaming4JC> Pelo: Yes, I have the CD
[22:43] <jokoon> Hello I'm looking for a terminal with outlined text rendering, is there something existing in ubuntu ? some package ?
[22:43] <Alan_M> Pelo, you got me backspacing now, heh i was about to suggest the same thing.
[22:43] <kevev> anyone know how to view webcam images embedded into the wallpaper? Or a good small webcam viewing app?
[22:44] <woddf2> Hello
[22:44] <Pelo> Gaming4JC,  put the cd in the comp ,  open a terminal , type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential   , that will get you the stuff you need to perfrom a compilation ,   then get the source code for your driver , I can'T help with that part
[22:44] <woddf2> My box refuses to wake after suspend.
[22:44] <Gaming4JC> ok thanks pelo
[22:44] <Pelo> Alan_M, type fast or die that ,s my moto for the day
[22:45] <francesco> Hello, could someone tell me what is the best language to make programs with graphical interfaces in Ubuntu environment?
[22:45] <newcomer008> francesco, java
[22:45] <soundray> woddf2: there are a few settings to play with in /etc/default/acpi-support -- especially the video-related ones
[22:45] <francesco> newcomer008: What about GTK+?
[22:45] <Starnestommy> francesco: c, c++, and python are good
[22:45] <Starnestommy> francesco: gtk+ is a library
[22:45] <Jack_Sparrow> francesco This is the wrong room for taking polls...  py or java are two common ones
[22:45] <Omar> hi
[22:46] <woddf2> My video card is a Intel 82815 Graphics Controller.
[22:46] <seanh> How do I change what application launches when I insert a DVD in Hardy? This used to be in Removable Drives and Media but it's not anymore
[22:46] <soundray> francesco: or stick with bash and use zenity dialogs
[22:46] <jokoon> soundray outlined text or font is for example, if the text is white, there will be some black border around the letters, so that for example I can clearly read text with a O% transparency wallpaper in the background
[22:46] <woddf2> soundray: What do I change in /etc/default/acpi-support ?
[22:46] <Omar> sorry. im totally new to ubuntu, and I¡m gettin a low ati performance, glxgears flick and so on. Anhbody with an Ati 1250.thanx
[22:47] <lphuberdeau> hello, I made an update yesterday and since, some things broke, like wireless card not being detected and no sound driver, was this reported already (can't find on forums)
[22:47]  * Pelo is scared ,  Alan_M  is making faces at him in pm
[22:47] <francesco> So, could I just use C and GTK+ to make Ubuntu applications?
[22:47] <newcomer008> so, does anyone have an idea whats wrong with my wlan? i have tried a lot, but nothing works. still only can connect to non-secured networks, but wpa2 & wpa doesnt work. seems like i get no ip form secured wlan networks :(
[22:47] <Alan_M> pelo, you started it! :)
[22:47] <jdenhaer> still the same problem
[22:47] <Alan_M> oh wait, no you didnt, i did..anyways.
[22:47] <Starnestommy> francesco: yes.  You can use pretty much any language that has library bindings for GTK+
[22:47]  * boosey didn't think this was cyber chat
[22:47] <Pelo> !wifi | newcomer008 this is all I can do for you , aside from recommending you do a search in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[22:48] <soundray> jokoon: I see. Some kind of a drop shadow would do the trick, too, probably. I think you need a different terminal emulator for that -- I'm told that Eterm is very versatile in terms of appearance
[22:48] <Delts> Hey guys, got a quick question
[22:48] <Pelo> boosey, this is abit hectic,  it's a busy support channel,   general chat channels aren't this fast
[22:48] <boosey> i know
[22:48] <boosey> it's madness
[22:48] <boosey> i love it
[22:48] <Sonja> Whenever a page calls for Arial, instead of the proper Arial I installed, it displays an ugly font with letters inside scarab insect shapes. How do I figure out which font is doing that and delete it? It should pick up the normal Arial after that....
[22:48]  * Pelo reconsiders this is actualy a slow day
[22:48] <newcomer008> well, ive read already about 100 articles in the forums. tried about 10 tutorials for reconfigurating wlan... nothing helps
[22:48] <Omar> does anybody have an ati and hardy? thanx
[22:48] <Delts> Just updated to 8.04 and after I start my laptop from hibernating the screen resolution is messed up and everything appears zoomed in
[22:48] <simply> Help, I downloaded ubuntu, burned the image, and booted to it, but hwen i choose to install the cd just spins for a minute and then stops, nothing happeneds

[22:49] <Alan_M> simply, did you check the cd image md5sum for accuracy?
[22:49] <simply> i dont know how... i just followed instructions on ubuntu docs
[22:49] <Pelo> simply, do the cd check option from the boot menu

[22:50] <Jaffarkelshac> what is the command to beep in terminal
[22:50] <jayde_drag0n> how do i determin the partition number of my ipod?
[22:50] <soundray> woddf2: there are several video related toggles. You'll have to try them out -- activate the settings you've made with 'sudo /etc/init.d/acpi-support restart' each time, and reboot with Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen R E I S U B each time you don't get X back.
[22:50] <ganjast> high
[22:50] <ganjast> i got a question, how does it run with 8gb on x64?
[22:50] <Pelo> simply, ok try the cd in another computer if you can boot it correctly from that , consider that you may have an issue with the cd-drive , if it doesn'T boot, try making another cd , preferealy from another comp
[22:51] <woddf2> soundray: Thanks
[22:51] <woddf2> Goodbye

[22:51] <soundray> Jaffarkelshac: echo -e \\a
[22:51] <Sonja> thanks Pelo that page doesn't seem to answer my question
[22:51] <ganjast> in case of oliver bondizio
[22:51] <stemount^> ganjast, ubuntu?

[22:51] <Pelo> Sonja, I was more thnking about installing mscorefonts
[22:51] <Pelo> simply, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel

[22:52] <soundray> Pelo: msttcorefonts
[22:52] <Alan_M> simply, yes
[22:52] <jdenhaer> the message I'm seeing in the log: is  error: capabilities are built-in to the kernel: You will need to recompile a kernel with capabilities as a kernel module
[22:52] <jayde_drag0n> hey there.. can anyone please tell me how i determine the partition number of my ipod?
[22:52] <Pelo> simply, I think that is yor best option at this point
[22:52] <Sonja> pelo yeah i do have those installed. another font is displaying instead of the proper arial one. i want to track down that other font and delete it or something
[22:52] <Pelo> jayde_drag0n, open a terminal and type  blkid
[22:52] <ganjast> maybe your ipod is in /media
[22:52] <soundray> jayde_drag0n: try dmesg or 'sudo fdisk -l'
[22:52] <Pelo> Sonja, this is in firefox ?
[22:52] <Sonja> Pelo instead of the proper mscorefonts arial, i see some weird font that looks like insects with letters inside them
[22:52] <Alan_M> simply, try checking the md5 sum first though, see if the download was corrupted...that is my issue every time my cd's didnt work (not saying thats yours..but its possible.)
[22:52] <Sonja> Pelo firefox, openoffice.org, everything
[22:53] <jayde_drag0n> Pelo:  the reason is This installer assumes that your FAT32 partition is partition number
[22:53] <jayde_drag0n>          2. If this is not the case, press CTRL+C now and run the installer
[22:53] <jayde_drag0n>          again. Syntax:
[22:53] <jayde_drag0n>          ./installer.sh <partition number>
[22:53] <YZ666> #ubuntu-es
[22:53] <FloodBot3> jayde_drag0n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:53] <jayde_drag0n> oops
[22:53] <ganjast> yeah this is a cool font
[22:53] <ganjast> the fonts of the illuminati
[22:53] <jayde_drag0n> sorry for the flood
[22:53] <Pelo> Sonja, that might be the the code page thingy I don'T remember what it is called , set to latin or iso or utf and such
[22:53] <ganjast> set it to utf-8
[22:54] <Sonja> pelo it's not a font from another language
[22:54] <jayde_drag0n> Pelo: blkid did nothing
[22:54] <Sonja> pelo it seems to be a cheezy free font i downloaded at some point in my life, and it's overriding arial and thinks it's arial
[22:54] <soundray> jayde_drag0n: run it with sudo
[22:54] <Pelo> jayde_drag0n, plug the ipod in,  goto menu > system> admin> system monitor ,  last tab ,
[22:54] <PetterS> what is the g++ update for ubuntu?
[22:55] <ganjast> a compiler update
[22:55] <PetterS> updater doesn't say what it is..
[22:55] <codecaine> g++ compile c++ or c sourcecodes
[22:55] <Pelo> Sonja, no clue sorry, you got my best shot, maybe doing a hdd search for   arial, deleting everything you see an then reinstlling  msttcorefont
[22:55] <Pelo> codecaine, source
[22:55] <jayde_drag0n> Pelo:  okay so with that in mind i then type ./installer.sh /dev/sdc1
[22:56] <Pelo> codecaine, ignore me I got you confused with someone else
[22:56] <codecaine> np
[22:56] <ringer> how can i reinstall Kiba-Dock to get all the default settings, i may have messed it up
[22:56] <daemon3> Something's wrong with the Gnome environment.  Whenever I log on, the desktop is frozen.  I'm able to move the mouse around, but that's about it.  I've deleted ~/.gnome2/session (or edited it) several times just in case I had a runaway app, but I still get a frozen system.  Please help.
[22:56] <Pelo> jayde_drag0n, what are you doing ?
[22:56] <jayde_drag0n> Pelo:  trying to run an installer for ipodlinux
[22:56] <codecaine> daemon3 did you get the gnome update?
[22:57] <Pelo> daemon3, boot recovery   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall
[22:57] <jimmygoon> !ccsm
[22:57] <jayde_drag0n> Pelo: that room is bizarrely quiet.. so i'm figuring it out on my own
[22:57] <codecaine> I know some people where having problems with newly installed hardy but the update fixed it
[22:57] <manicnerd> When updating my system I was asked about menu.lst...i choose to keep it how it is/was......to be able to boot to the new kernel would i just copy the [title, root, kernel, initrd] lines and change 2.6.24-16-generic to 2.6.24-17-generic?  I'm planning on leaving the 2.6.24-16-generic in incase 2.6.24-17-generic doesnt work for me
[22:57] <soundray> Sonja: one thing you might check is whether the problem is in your home directory: Create a new user, and see if it happens when you log in as that.
[22:57] <jimmygoon> No, simple-ccsm is garbage
[22:57] <daemon3> codecaine: Maybe.  When was it released?
[22:57] <Pelo> jayde_drag0n, that command might work then try it I've never tried to isntall on another drive ,
[22:57] <codecaine> Not to long about maybe a month
[22:57] <codecaine> not exactly sure
[22:57] <Sonja> ple should the directory in .fonts.conf link to     <dir>/home/sonja/.fonts-managed</dir> as it currently does? or should it link to something like usr/share/fonts where all my fonts seem to be stored ?
[22:57] <Sonja> that's pelo and soundray
[22:58] <codecaine> my laptop had that problem but not my desktop
[22:58] <Pelo> jayde_drag0n, that'S how linux works,   ask , get no answer , get frustrated,  figure it out for yourself,  when the next guy comes along , show off
[22:58] <Pelo> Sonja, try locate arial
[22:58] <jimmygoon> ubotu, ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[22:58] <Sonja> ok
[22:58] <Sonja> do i type "locate arial" in terminal?
[22:58] <soundray> Sonja: can't comment -- I don't have a .fonts.conf
[22:58] <Pelo> Sonja, yes
[22:59] <harpreet> how do i install navigator i have extracted it to folder on Desktop?
[22:59] <jayde_drag0n> Pelo: lol it wasn't just no answwer in a room full of talking peopel.. its a room full of people not talking
[22:59] <codecaine> daemon3 run the update manager and see if it has updates for gdm
[22:59] <Sonja> i would have tried that but often font filenames are not named the same thing as the actual font name that programs call for
[22:59] <jdenhaer> I'm having trouble, trouble so much trouble... but I'm still happy
[22:59] <Sonja> soundray maybe i should delete that file
[22:59] <soundray> harpreet: what navigator?
[22:59] <Pelo> harpreet, what navigator ? avant windows navigator ?  check on google there is a how to for ubuntu
[22:59] <harpreet> soundary, netscape
[22:59] <soundray> Sonja: rename it, so you can revert
[22:59] <harpreet> pelo, netscape
[22:59] <Sonja> soundray ok
[23:00] <daemon3> codecaine: No, my system is up-to-date.
[23:00] <Sonja> soundray what is the terminal command for rename
[23:00] <Alan_M> jimmygoon, please dont try to change ubottu's "brain" in the main support room, you can try going to #ubuntu-ops and ask them to see if it can be changed to that. Thanks.
[23:00] <soundray> Sonja: mv
[23:00] <codecaine> im assuming you have the latest update you might have to reintall ubuntu-desktop like Pelo said
[23:00] <Pelo> harpreet, install build-essential,   then look in the netscape folder,  check for a INSTALL file, read and follow the instructions
[23:00] <jimmygoon> Alan_M, surely
[23:00] <soundray> Sonja: you'll have to log out and log back in to see if it made a difference
[23:00] <jayde_drag0n> Pelo:  http://pastebin.com/m5562511b
[23:00] <Sonja> ok

[23:02] <dibz> when i plug my dapper install back in dhcp works fine
[23:02] <harpreet> X86
[23:02] <soundray> harpreet: 64bit?
[23:02] <harpreet> Soundray X86
[23:02] <harpreet> Soundray, 64
[23:02] <Pelo> jayde_drag0n, permission issues are usualy fixed by running the command as root , so try that first
[23:03] <soundray> harpreet: netscape won't fix your problem
[23:03] <jayde_drag0n> Pelo: http://pastebin.com/m785482f5
[23:03] <soundray> harpreet: you should install the 32bit version of firefox. There is a factoid...

[23:13] <neo_> when i run Nvidia  X settings it say says.....  I try that but I am also using -i
[23:14] <codecaine> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf make your driver says nvidia
[23:14] <kevev> I want to do it in one line
[23:14] <Pelo> kevev,   wget sources  destination , I beleive
[23:14] <afabian> netron1234: try installing the msttcorefonts package and changing your font rendering from "best shapes" to "subpixel hinting" and choose full hinting from detailed options.
[23:14] <netron1234> kevev -> something like wget http://www.blah.com/index.html -O /home/kevev/grabbed.html
[23:14] <codecaine> under device section
[23:14] <kevev> Pelo: tried that. no go
[23:14] <codecaine> save and restart x
[23:14] <Pelo> kevev, read  man wget
[23:14] <afabian> netron1234: gmail looks really crappy without msttcorefonts
[23:14] <arthur> is it better to upgrade to 8.04 or do a clean install? or it dont matterr..
[23:14] <Pelo> ok later folks
[23:14] <kevev> Palo: I have
[23:15] <netron1234> afabian -> thats the annoying thing .  i hae msttcore installed!
[23:15] <SnakeArt> Hi,everyone!
[23:15] <neo_> codecaine: here is my file http://pastebin.com/m4a2d4610
[23:15] <afabian> arthur: upgrade processes are less reliable than clean installs, no matter what distribution or operating system you're running, as a rule of thumb.
[23:15] <neo_> where do i put it
[23:15] <kevev> netron1234: yes that works, but I am also using -i . I have a file with urls in it I want to parse.
[23:16] <arthur> thats what i thought... when dose the lts end fr gusty
[23:16] <kevev> netron1234: I can parse file, but I cant tell wget where to put files.
[23:16] <neo_> codecaine: my config file looks off doesnt it http://pastebin.com/m4a2d4610
[23:16] <afabian> arthur: If you place a premium on convenience, try an upgrade.  If you place a premium on a clean system with no gotchas, clean install.
[23:16] <Onyx> does anyone here use gyachi?  i'd like to install it :\
[23:16] <netron1234> kevev -> google for the Snoopy class.  its a php class that can parse html files for you.
[23:16] <codecaine> wow you have nothing configured
[23:16] <kevev> netron1234: ok
[23:16] <arthur> when is ubuntu going to stop updating gusty?
[23:16] <arthur> i use gyachi... it rocks
[23:16] <netron1234> kevev -> pretty sure it can extract , with a parameter , JUST the hyperlinks...
[23:16] <codecaine> u need nvidia to reconfigure you fiel for you
[23:17] <codecaine> maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[23:17] <codecaine> will let you set it to nvidia
[23:17] <arthur> get the voice codecs its a sepret pakage to get voice working
[23:17] <afabian> arthur: for a desktop system, a standard release is supported for 18 months.  Gusty is 7.10, which is 10/2007.  So for 18 months after that.
[23:17] <SnakeArt> Today I've bought a Canon PIXMA MP210 multifunctional device (printer,scanner...). I'm using 64  bit gutsy gibbon and I've found on Canon website drivers for i386 linux only. Is there a 64 bit version of these drivers?
[23:17] <kevev> netron1234: I already have hyperlinks in a file. I want wget to grab images from each link and place them in a directory I choose.
[23:17] <neo_> codecaine: Same config file... didnt do anything
[23:18] <Starnestommy> arthur: I think April 17, 2009
[23:18] <codecaine> reinstall
[23:18] <codecaine> your nvidia driver
[23:18] <codecaine> and it will auto config it for you
[23:18] <neo_> how do i do that
[23:18] <soundray> arthur: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 -- scroll down to the diagram
[23:18] <neo_> and how can i remove the other drivers so theres no conflicts

[23:18] <ray_> or at least get new driver for it
[23:18] <ray_> installed
[23:18] <ray_> :(
[23:19] <codecaine> open synaptics and type in nvidia
[23:19] <netron1234> kevev ->  snoopy will stick the hyperlinks into an array.  just use the "foreach" command to iterate over it (in php_)...  in the middle of the foreach , do an exec("wget....) to grab each image.
[23:19] <codecaine> and check them for unistall
[23:19] <ray_> any one see my q
[23:19] <erUSUL> ray_: yes

[23:19] <kevev> netron1234. blah, Im not good with php. sorry
[23:19] <netron1234> kevev -> by the way .  use php-cli .. command line php. this sort of stuff is easier with it.
[23:19] <neo_> codecaine all the packages?
[23:20] <netron1234> kevev ->its a 5 liner. piece of piss...

[23:30] <daemon3> I've tried to delete every gnome, gconf, nautilus, or metacity file/folder, but nothings working.
[23:30] <erUSUL> Mad10000: try this on a terminal and se if it reports errors or something "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[23:30] <SnakeArt> Is there a version of scangear software for ubuntu 64bit?
[23:30] <AlexMorr1s> Starnestommy: erUSUL  i have ignored it, and did a "make"   ---- look what i got http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4074/screenshot2ck2.png

[23:31] <Gaming4JC> Hello Again. It idn't work
[23:31] <erUSUL> !pastebin
[23:31] <Gaming4JC> *did not
[23:31] <soundray> daemon3: you should log into failsafe mode and 'mkdir gnome-backup ; mv .gnome .gnome2 .gconf gnome-backup'. When you next log in normally, a default config will be recreated.
[23:31] <Mad10000> erUSUL that worked fine and the upgrade is running
[23:31] <daemon3> soundray:
[23:31] <daemon3> Thanks.  I also think the problems is with Nautilus.
[23:32] <codecaine> I have a question when you reconfigre the xserver
[23:32] <AlexMorr1s> erUSUL: i can pastebin np -- but what about the error
[23:32] <daemon3> The desktop keeps freezing.
[23:32] <codecaine> did you choose nvidia to be your driver?
[23:32] <soundray> daemon3: move .nautilus as well, then
[23:32] <neo_> reconfigure xserver?
[23:32] <neo_> i didnt do that
[23:32] <codecaine> try this real quick
[23:32] <codecaine> sudo nvidia-xconfig
[23:32] <ixxxs> hey guys, anyone know where the linuxtag ubuntu crew went for the karaoke bar in berlin?
[23:32] <codecaine> that probably do it for you
[23:33] <neo_> not found
[23:33] <Gaming4JC> Jack_Sparrow: That site you sent for my modem "Linuxant" or whatver. It said it didn't support HSP modems... :(
[23:33] <Gaming4JC> Also, Palo, I couldn't get the compile tools from the disk. It simply said "Error" cannot connect to "ubuntu/blah/blah/bin.
[23:33] <codecaine> it will mod your xorg.conf
[23:33] <neo_> its not found
[23:33] <turbulentfluid> HEllo all... I need help with virtualbox...
[23:33] <codecaine> you don't have nvidia-xconfig?
[23:33] <Starnestommy> turbulentfluid: what kind of help do you need with it?
[23:33] <turbulentfluid> When I create a machine, I try and run it,
[23:33] <codecaine> you should if you installed nvidia driver
[23:33] <soundray> !enter | turbulentfluid
[23:34] <turbulentfluid> Whoops... I was just to paste in the message I got.
[23:34] <turbulentfluid> am I allowed to do that?
[23:34] <neo_> codecaine: its in synaptic u want me to install it
[23:34] <soundray> !paste | turbulentfluid
[23:34] <turbulentfluid> ouch...
[23:34] <erUSUL> AlexMorr1s: dunno the configure went well maybe incompatibility with openssl-dev libs on hardy?
[23:35] <Gaming4JC> Starnestommy: It's extremely easy to compile "if" you have an internet connection. Could some one do it for me who has internet connection. :)
[23:35] <codecaine> yea you need it install nvidia-glx and install nvidia-settings
[23:35] <codecaine> then run sudo nvidia-config
[23:35] <SnakeArt> I need some help with Scangear software on 64bit gutsy
[23:35] <achandrashekar> kickstart question for you all...after an install the client default to "kickseed" how do keep multiple clients from having the same hostname??

[23:36] <neo_> codecaine: u see that validation error

[23:37] <codecaine> pastebin  the xorg.conf
[23:37] <Jack_Sparrow> codecaine gksudo gedit ... please
[23:37] <Taza> soundray: I'm just trying to get that noticed before someone goes "check CD"

[23:38] <Gaming4JC> I have the OpenCD version
[23:38] <Gaming4JC> :)
[23:38] <gwern> I am kind of curous, why is /tmp by default on the hard drive?
[23:38] <soundray> Taza: stop spamming us with caps
[23:38] <Taza> soundray: Quit complaining about that.
[23:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Taza Stop it.
[23:38] <Taza> soundray: That's required to make clear that those are not the problem.
[23:38] <m1dn1ght> Well there's a good way to get help - act like an ass
[23:39] <Starnestommy> Taza: you can make that clear without caps
[23:39] <soundray> Taza: we have rules here, and you should adhere to them, or look for help elsewhere
[23:39] <idefix_> what can you do with a BIN file in ubuntu?
[23:39] <Taza> soundray: Is there a rule against making clear what has been tried?
[23:39] <stemount^> idefix_, bin it? ;)
[23:39] <Starnestommy> idefix_: it depends on what the bin file is for
[23:39] <stemount^> joking
[23:39] <Mad10000> !ask I used to have a dual boot option to WinXP before but after re-installing Ubuntu it disappeared. Can this be restored somehow thru GRUB?
[23:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Taza there is a coc .. maybe you should read it
[23:39] <codecaine> neo I have to go soon you there?
[23:39] <Beryllium> M2N4? Who makes that?
[23:39] <neo_> codecaine: yea
[23:39] <soundray> Taza: there is a rule against yelling = spamming with caps
[23:39] <Flare183> ???
[23:39] <Taza> soundray: Because if it wasn't in caps SOMEONE would miss it. I use caps for emphasis. I bet someone misses it now too.
[23:39] <Taza> soundray: and I'm not violating that rule
[23:39] <codecaine> what you saw in your xorg.conf?
[23:39] <Flare183> anyone going to answer?
[23:40] <Taza> Beryllium: Asus M2N4-SLI AM2 motherboard.
[23:40] <neo_> how do i check again
[23:40] <Beryllium> ah. Hrm. Normally Asus behaves nicely.
[23:40] <codecaine> gksudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:40] <idefix_> wat is BIN? what does it stand for?
[23:40] <Beryllium> I was hoping you would say it was MSI, so I could dismiss it out of hand as "msi is crap" ;-)
[23:40] <Starnestommy> idefix_: binary
[23:40] <Taza> Beryllium: I have the same experience, it appears to be just this mobo according to the forum.
[23:40] <erUSUL> Taza: you are being rude to anyone and enfasis can be obtained *some* _other_ way
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> codecaine closer..
[23:40] <Taza> Beryllium: And the MSI board I have works fine. ;_;
[23:40] <mneptok> Taza: do not use all-caps for emphasis. full stop.
[23:40] <codecaine> gksudo gedit /etc/X11 xorg.conf
[23:41] <Flare183>  anyone???
[23:41] <Taza> erUSUL: What's wrong for caps for emphasis?
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[23:41] <Gaming4JC> Jack_Sparrow: Do you know where I can get build-essential for HedgeHog offline?
[23:41] <codecaine> :)
[23:41] <Taza> mneptok: Says who?
[23:41] <loquitus_of_borg> I keep getting this error where my /dev/dsp device is busy... it happens quite a bit after I play a particular game, quit the game, and then try again, where the second time the game displays: open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy
[23:41] <neo_> codecaine: when I ran that command I restarted X server and my monitor didnt support it so I couldnt see the screen. I rebooted in recover mode and said fix X server and I got back here
[23:41] <mneptok> Taza: your frustration should not translate into our eyestrain.
[23:41] <idefix_> so you can run them like exe's in DOS?
[23:41] <neo_> So It has the same thing as before
[23:41] <magnetron> Taza: please don't make an argument out of this
[23:41] <Beryllium> Taza: Netiquette has firmly established, over the past 20 years, that all-caps is synonymous with YELLING.
[23:41] <loquitus_of_borg> any ideas to fix this?  What part of do you have difficulties grasping?
[23:41] <Beryllium> And yelling is against the rules in here. Sheesh.
[23:41] <codecaine> neo_ you use gaim?
[23:41] <solid_liq> loquitus_of_borg: try  sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart
[23:41] <Daisuke_Ido> not to mention that it read like an annoying geek personals ad
[23:41] <Taza> soundray: No there isn't. *sigh*
[23:41] <neo_> codecaine: no
[23:41] <Taza> soundray: Allcaps maybe.
[23:41] <Taza> Partcaps no.
[23:42] <Beryllium> Dice-K: Good point :)
[23:42] <neo_> codecaine: i can install it
[23:42] <yaris12346789> hi, i have a direcotry full of files within many subfolders....i would like to join those separate files within those subfolders, using the subfolder`s names as the output file name
[23:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Taza Read the rules of the channel and stop arguing
[23:42] <Starnestommy> Taza: do you get any errors with the kernel panic?
[23:42] <codecaine> I meant pidgin
[23:42] <Taza> Unless they've changed the rules in like the last 3 months.
[23:42] <Daisuke_Ido> !caps | taza - it most certainly is

[23:42] <neo_> codecaine,: im new to ubuntu i dont use it
[23:42] <mneptok> Taza: i just asked you to stop. there is a rule about following and respecting the wishes of the ops. please follow that rule and stop using caps for emphasis.
[23:42] <loquitus_of_borg> solid_liq: you mean alsoa-utils? I don't have alsa in that folder
[23:42] <Gaming4JC> codecaine: Pidgin is awesome! ;) ehmm back on topic...
[23:42] <Taza> Starnestommy: And something about the 8254 timer.
[23:42] <Beryllium> hey mneptok! How's life treating you?
[23:42] <solid_liq> loquitus_of_borg: yeah, that.  That does the trick for me

I've got Ubuntu on a 90 gig partition and disk usage analyser is showing 75 gig used and 15 gig free, however after running the analysis, it is only showing my file system (/) as containing 37.9 gig.  Where can that other 38 gig be hiding???
[23:43] <mneptok> Beryllium: not so bad, as it's Friday :)
[23:43] <Starnestommy> Taza: is this in the livecd?
[23:43] <Taza> Starnestommy: Yes.

[23:43] <Beryllium> lol :) We met a deadline at work today, and we're going to a pub in a bit to celebrate :)
[23:43] <Starnestommy> Taza: try using the alternate cd instead
[23:43] <Taza> Starnestommy: But I'm not willing to try alternate with a kernel panic
