[02:44] <Eagleray> hackle577: and if you're installing from a gui, don't - install from a terminal
[02:44] <fuzzy_logic> earthen: yes
[02:45] <hackle577> eagleray: ok
[02:45] <Eagleray> hackle577: the gui will put its own path on things and may not allow to you enter shell commands
[02:45] <earthen> fuzzy_logic, ok so it was working then I think anyway LOL
[02:45] <crane_> numan. Then you should be able to just install card and it will use it.
[02:45] <hackle577> okie doke lemme have another try at it
[02:45] <fuzzy_logic> earthen: :P
[02:45] <earthen> fuzzy_logic, do you have anything else with blue tooth that you can try other then your phone
[02:45] <crane_> numan, You say the vid did not work during install>
[02:46] <numan> crane : ok i try it but not sure whether it will work or not?
[02:46] <numan> crane: yes during installation it didnot give me display usable for me
[02:47] <karzel> hi
[02:47] <karzel> i need help
[02:47] <fuzzy_logic> ehh
[02:47] <karzel> could anyone write to me? on priv?
[02:47] <karzel> ;p
[02:47] <fuzzy_logic> earthen: yes.. wait
[02:47] <vio> i have installed xgl+beryl and the "Alt-Gr"-button doesn't work anymore.. so i can't do any @@ f.example thats alt-gr+2 ... help
[02:47] <crane_> numan, just make sure all connections are good. and try. If it does not work, do you have another card to use as atest?
[02:47] <earthen> fuzzy_logic, how long did it take to search
[02:47] <Chris1> vio: beryl is probably using the combination, check it
[02:48] <numan> yes have to get it from another box
[02:48] <fuzzy_logic> earthen: like 0.001 sec :P
[02:48] <vio> Chris1: nope :(
[02:48] <Beta> Hey, what package do I need for mp3, avi, etc support?
[02:48] <earthen> fuzzy_logic, darn that mean it wasn't working
[02:48] <Chris1> vio: there is a channel for 3d-desktop questions, maybe you'll find help there (i forgot the channel-name)

[02:48] <clotarn> salut tout le monde
[02:48] <earthen> fuzzy_logic, is there a button to turn on your bluetooth on your laptop
[02:48] <IdleOne> !fr | clotarn bonjour
[02:48] <ubotu> clotarn bonjour: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[02:48] <Beta> Thanks Idleone.
[02:49] <fuzzy_logic> earthen: i was already looking for that.. but couldn't find anything
[02:49] <IdleOne> beta no problem
[02:49] <Chris1> is there a working "windows media 9" codec available?
[02:49] <barosl> how can i disable sshd on system startup by using rcconf?
[02:49] <Eagleray> Chris1: video or audio?
[02:49] <clotarn> oups, sorry, I made a mistake, have fun in english, I prefer speaking french, lool, bye friends
[02:49] <Chris1> Eagleray, video
[02:49] <numan> crane: i have another computer which also have onboard vga and display card installed but with older bios, i tried ubuntu installation at that machine and it is quiet usable the only problem there was shrinking screen
[02:50] <earthen> fuzzy_logic, when I installed mine ubuntu turned off my bluetooth by default and everytime i have to turn it on
[02:50] <Eagleray> Chris1: VLC probably supports it, but I'm not sure about other players
[02:50] <Chris1> Eagleray, i tried diferent players and installed the codecs via automatix, but it won't only show a picture every ten seconds or so
[02:50] <karzel> i need help with install cedega.
[02:50] <Eagleray> Chris1: your best bet is to give it a shot with VLC
[02:50] <Chris1> vlc does the same
[02:50] <karzel> i downloaded it and i dont know how to install....
[02:50] <IdleOne> !automatix > Chris1
[02:50] <bandolero> whats a good anti virus that works on Ubuntu?
[02:50] <karzel> ;p
[02:50] <rafallo> disconnect
[02:51] <IdleOne> bandolero, clamav
[02:51] <Chris1> IdleOne, i tried automatix and vlc, but the picture will only refresh every ten seconds
[02:51] <bandolero> i need to has real time
[02:51] <bandolero> real-time scan or scan on demand
[02:51] <IdleOne> !automatix | Chris1
[02:51] <ubotu> Chris1: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[02:51] <Eagleray> Chris1: what spec system?
[02:51] <numan> crane: i am going to try it now will come back after
[02:51] <fuzzy_logic> earthen: how do you do that
[02:51] <crane_> numan, OK, good luck.
[02:52] <Chris1> Eagleray, medival one (amd 1400, 512 ram, radeon 9600)
[02:52] <Eagleray> Chris1: automatix is good up to a point, but as ubotu says it can cause problems
[02:52] <Zewey> bandolero: clamtk or klamav as Clam guis, you can start the scanner from the right click menu
[02:52] <earthen> fuzzy_logic, I have a button on my system, thats why I asked you if you had one LOL
[02:52] <Eagleray> Chris1: and what's the video bitrate/resolution?
[02:52] <Chris1> Eagleray, ye, i tried vlc in the first place, but the problem occurs anyways
[02:52] <Chris1> Eagleray, whowy,..dunno
[02:52] <Eagleray> Chris1: those specs should be fune unless you're playing seriously high Q video
[02:52] <Chris1> mom
[02:53] <Eagleray> *fine
[02:53] <Eagleray> Chris1: but if the vid loses sync all the time because the frames are decoding slower than the framerate, that can cause your symptoms
[02:54] <Eagleray> Chris1: is that an athlon or duron CPU?
[02:54] <Chris1> Eagleray, it's a wow bosskill movie and the q is probably very high
[02:54] <Chris1> Eagleray, duron
[02:54] <Eagleray> Chris1: does it look about DVD quality?
[02:55] <Chris1> Eagleray, dvds work perfect
[02:55] <Eagleray> Chris1: yes, but DVDs need a lot less CPU to decode than WMV
[02:55] <Chris1> Eagleray, i guess its sth about the codec, cause some wmvs work well, even with high q
[02:55] <Eagleray> Chris1: a DVD quality WMV video stream will have issues on a 1400 duron
[02:56] <Cakper> bye
[02:56] <Chris1> Eagleray, maybe you're right. i'll try the new release without automatix and vlc
[02:56] <Chris1> maybe i'm lucky
[02:56] <Eagleray> Chris1: before you do
[02:56] <Eagleray> Chris1: install 'gkrellm'
[02:57] <Chris1> !gkrellm
[02:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gkrellm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:57] <MarcoPau> is it possible to change mouse protocol from shell without editing xorg.conf and rebooting Xorg?
[02:57] <Eagleray> Chris1: use it to display the CPU usage while playing the video
[02:57] <Eagleray> Chris1: what does it show?
[02:57] <Chris1> mom
[02:57] <Eagleray> Chris1: it should have a CPU graph in the default config, so you shouldn't need to change anything
[02:58] <bob_> hello, maybe offtopic but anyway, could anyone point me to a tool like scp but with option to skip existing files on remote machine?
[02:58] <Chris1> Eagleray, overload
[02:58] <Eagleray> Chris1: gkrellm is a system monitor app
[02:58] <nakedLefty> SlimeyPete: :)
[02:59] <dEBiaN> zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[02:59] <Eagleray> Chris1: if gkrell is showing a CPU overload, then that's your problem :p
[02:59] <jim2> in #ubuntu-fr
[02:59] <Chris1> Eagleray, got it ;)
[02:59] <nakedLefty> ermm... hooked up my hdd's the right way around now - but couldn't get it to boot with the live cd
[02:59] <Chris1> Eagleray, thank you anyway :)
[02:59] <nakedLefty> SlimeyPete: so i am doing a reinstall
[02:59] <Eagleray> Chris1: 'fraid you'll have to transcode to a lower quality stream or to a format that uses less overhead
[02:59] <N-J> hmm
[03:00] <Eagleray> Chris1: no worries
[03:00] <nakedLefty> SlimeyPete: now grub is asking where to be installed... and it displays hd0 is that right?
[03:00] <Eagleray> Chris1: mpeg is good, but takes up a lot of space
[03:00] <Chris1> Eagleray, but it don't get the difference between an older wmv-codec and the 9 one
[03:00] <Eagleray> Chris1: the newer codecs use more cpu
[03:00] <Chris1> Eagleray, cause, as i said, the problem only occurs with wmv9 codec ones
[03:00] <N-J> ok
[03:00] <Eagleray> Chris1: they have better quality files for a lower bitrate, but they use more CPU power to decode
[03:01] <Eagleray> Chris1: yeah that doesn't surprise me
[03:01] <Eagleray> Chris1: MS gave it an overhaul in v9
[03:01] <N-J> doomster
[03:01] <Chris1> Eagleray, well, no bosskill for me so :D, thanks again
[03:02] <Eagleray> Chris1: no worries
[03:02] <doomster> N-J, hm?
[03:02] <jwendell> is there any way to disable touchpad in GNOME/Ubuntu (not in xorg.conf)?
[03:02] <nakedLefty> SlimeyPete: you there Mr. *Nix Guru
[03:03] <N-J> doomster, I managed to get wired working trough the router
[03:03] <N-J> as a matter of fact I'm in ubunto now
[03:03] <doomster> congratulations.
[03:03] <Eagleray> jwendell: last time I looked, you needed to use xorg.conf
[03:04] <N-J> doomster, but no luck with wireless
[03:04] <Eagleray> jwendell: the default is to use /dev/mice as the mouse, which is a 'meta-mouse' for all pointing devices attached to the system
[03:04] <Eagleray> jwendell: you will need to change the device in xorg.conf to the exact mouse you are using
[03:04] <l1234> what is the rpm command to install the g++ package?
[03:04] <Eagleray> l1234: ubuntu doesn't use rpm
[03:04] <l1234> ok so how can i install the g++ package?
[03:04] <Eagleray> l1234: use 'apt-get install build-essential'
[03:05] <doomster> N-J, how were you connected under Windows?
[03:05] <jwendell> Eagleray, ok, i want to disable it temporally...
[03:05] <jwendell> Eagleray, thanks
[03:05] <Eagleray> l1234: that will install gcc, g++, and a few other goodies useful for building software from source
[03:05] <nakedLefty> open question to you ubuntu oracles... installing ubuntu here on my pc, have a 3 hdd setup, hda is windows, hdb will be ubuntu, and hdc is my data drive - i want grub to install in the mbr of hda (the windows hdd - to make dual booting possible)  - grub in the installer is saying it's gonna install to hd0 - is that right?
[03:06] <LjL> nakedLefty: sounds right
[03:06] <Eagleray> jwendell: if you want to do that, make xorg.conf point to /dev/custommouse
[03:06] <crane_> nakedLefty: sounds right to me
[03:06] <crane_> too
[03:06] <Eagleray> then create /dev/custommouse on startup with an init script as a symlink pointing to /dev/mics
[03:06] <doomster> N-J, btw: if you open a commandline window you can run 'ipconfig' there, which will give you the setup for the various adapters configured there, maybe that turns up some information what the difference is.
[03:06] <daveletourneau> In ubuntu server, is stdout redirected to something else? I can't echo anything from my init scripts...
[03:06] <Eagleray> jwendell: then you can create a script that changes what /dev/custommouse points to
[03:06] <l1234> thansk eagleray
[03:06] <Eagleray> l1234: no worries
[03:07] <nakedLefty> so hd0 would by default be the mbr of the first master
[03:07] <Eagleray> jwendell: that will allow you to disable/enable it just by clicking script icons
[03:09] <crane_> nakedLefty: yes
[03:10] <fevel> hey guys
[03:10] <Eagleray> fevel: hey, what is your question?
[03:10] <Jump86> hey everyone, i need some help with sound... i have onboard sound that shows up as NVidia CK8S. Before today everything worked perfectly and has been for over a week. I can't think of any changes that would effect sound that were made, but when I rebooted today I lost sound. I changed settings in alsamixer and got sound back, but master volume doesnt work and the sound quality isn't as good as it was before.. I hear subtle cra
[03:10] <Jump86> cks and pops at random times
[03:10] <fevel> I installed vmware workstation and it broke packages
[03:10] <fevel> can someone help me fix apt-get
[03:11] <Eagleray> fevel: which packages specifically?
[03:11] <nakedLefty> crane_: thanks - hopefully i'll be logging in here via opera and Ubuntu in a short while
[03:11] <N-J> doomster, I need to switch back to windows for that
[03:11] <Eagleray> fevel: what is wrong with apt-get?
[03:11] <nakedLefty> :D
[03:11] <fevel> Eagleray it returns an error code 2
[03:11] <crane_> nakedLefty: Good Luck!
[03:11] <N-J> doomster, we're close though
[03:11] <nakedLefty> crane_: does luck really have anything to do with it? ;(
[03:12] <fevel> Eagleray it tells me to run apt-get -f install to fix it
[03:12] <Eagleray> fevel: you need to give me more info. What, precisely, are you running to cause error 2? What is the accompanying message?
[03:12] <crane_> nakedLefty: sometimes...lol
[03:12] <crane_> :)
[03:12] <Eagleray> fevel: and have you run 'apt-get -f install'?
[03:12] <nakedLefty> crane_  well that makes me feel a lot more at ease :|
[03:12] <crane_> ;)
[03:12] <nakedLefty> :)
[03:13] <camer0n> hm this is working :)
[03:13] <fevel> Eagleray yes...I cant tell you the exact error because im not in front of that computer this moment, but it all started because i tried to install vmware using alien to convert from the rpm package in the site
[03:13] <N-J> doomster, isn't there someting you can think of that I can enable or something
[03:13] <camer0n> gogo vnc :D
[03:14] <Eagleray> fevel: what you are describing sounds like broken dependencies. Running 'apt-get install -f' will attempt to install all required dept to get your system back to normal
[03:14] <fevel> Eagleray now if i open synaptic and try to uninstall vmweare workstation it tries to remove ``ubuntu-desktop``
[03:14] <Eagleray> fevel: if it can't find all the deps, it will print a list of what's missing so you cna go find it yourself ;)
[03:15] <Eagleray> fevel: why are you trying to remove it?
[03:15] <Eagleray> fevel: it's an easy enough issue to fix
[03:15] <fevel> Eagleray because it didnt work
[03:15] <Eagleray> fevel: lol don't give up on it
[03:16] <fevel> Eagleray ill try to fix it then
[03:16] <Eagleray> fevel: the whole reason it doesn't work is because you haven't finished setting it up
[03:16] <fevel> Eagleray im quite lazy...i was going to try qemu
[03:16] <doomster> N-J, again: how did you connect to the router while under Windows?
[03:16] <[Away] Yahooadam> why does my laptop say "no network devices found" when i have enabled the wired network connection
[03:16] <Eagleray> fevel: you won't like qemu then ;)
[03:16] <Eagleray> fevel: vmware is a LOT easier to use
[03:17] <Eagleray> fevel: most of the required deps should be available through apt-get
[03:17] <N-J> doomster, it finds the router asks me for the key and that's it
[03:17] <fevel> I have another question for the comunity...I have a toshiba satellite with 96 mb ram but when I put in the ubuntu cdrom it doesnt boot for an install
[03:18] <fevel> its all set up correct on the bios
[03:18] <Eagleray> fevel: if you _need_ to remove it, remove ubuntu-desktop first (it's only a meta-package so you shouldn't damage anything), then vmware, then reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[03:18] <fevel> and the cdrom is working...but it just boots into w98
[03:18] <aoliax> hello, what is the equivelant of ksysguard for gnome, a process manager?
[03:18] <Pici> aoliax: maybe gnome-system-monitor   I'm not sure thats what you're looking for though.
[03:19] <daveletourneau> Hello :) Petite question. Est-ce qu'il y a une explication simple qui expliquerais que je ne suis pas capable de voir l'output d'un echo quand il est insr dans mes scripts de dmarrage sous ubuntu server? Redirection de stdout peut-tre? Par exemple, si j'ajoute un echo de n'importe quoi dans /etc/rc.local, y'a absolument rioen qui se passe. J'ai aussi essay de lancer un script maison dans le rc2.d et c'est la mme chose. Le script fonctionne

[03:20] <aoliax> eagleray, i didnt realize that was available in gnome
[03:20] <Jump86> my sound requires the intel8x0 ALSA driver.. how do I verify if I have this?
[03:20] <Eagleray> aoliax: you can install anything you like in gnome - gnome is only the desktop manager
[03:21] <Eagleray> aoliax: the programs themselves are more or less independant from it (and yes, there are a few exceptions)
[03:21] <PriceChild> Eagleray, aoliax gnome is not the only desktop manager.
[03:22] <Eagleray> PriceChild: I'm aware of that - I hate gnome. DE of choice is KDE, and occasionally XFCE
[03:22] <erUSUL> Jump86: search it in /lib/modules/$(uname -r) and in the output of lsmod (if it's loaded)
[03:22] <N-J> doomster, a bit offtopic but I just downloaded a .package file and I know that I cvan use the synaptic package manager...but where should I put it first so the manager can find it
[03:22] <zeldafan500> why did you just have to fix the bot so i couldnt use !anything to make it say 'i dont know anything about anything' ? >:O
[03:23] <aoliax> well eagleray, to each his own

[03:24] <PriceChild> Zigurd, incase no-one has a better idea, tried the alternate install disk?
[03:24] <Eagleray> Zigurd: try partitioning with another app first, then installing on the pre-created partitions

[03:28] <Eagleray> andys: apt-get clean purges all cached .deb packages from your system
[03:29] <PriceChild> !offtopic > zeldafan500 (see the pm from ubotu)
[03:29] <Jump86> I think my ALSA modules are not loading correctly.. in lsmod it shows up at snd_mixer_oss  (shouldn't that be alsa?"
[03:29] <Zigurd> OK, so have people had luck with the Edgy alt installer?
[03:29] <Eagleray> andys: means on the (very remote) chance that one of the downloaded packages is corrupt, it'll force a redownload
[03:29] <Zigurd> On amd64?
[03:29] <kingcobra> Zigurd, use edgy for the moment because its more stable or move to #ubuntu+1
[03:29] <Eagleray> andys: how did you manage to corrupt it
[03:29] <Eagleray> andys: ?
[03:30] <kingcobra> Zigurd, yes of course thousands have had luck with it
[03:30] <Zigurd> Yes. I would like to get any Ubuntu on that machine now. Thanks all, I will try the Edgy alt install, and see how that goes.
[03:30] <kingcobra> Zigurd, yes
[03:31] <benchaz> hey
[03:31] <Eagleray> benchaz: hey, do you have a question?
[03:31] <benchaz> anybody know how to dualboot ubuntu with windows, starting with a ubuntu setup?
[03:31] <benchaz> like
[03:31] <benchaz> my comptuer has ubuntu
[03:31] <benchaz> and windows now
[03:31] <benchaz> but my windows is corrupted
[03:32] <benchaz> badly
[03:32] <Eagleray> benchaz: yes. You will need to reinstall the grub mbr after installing windows
[03:32] <olimpico> Is it possible to install kubuntu remotely through the console?
[03:32] <benchaz> eagleray:sweet
[03:32] <andys> Eagleray: I cannot use my debian package tools as 1 install script needs to be completed first.  The only way I can fix that is by running letting the script run update-initramfs-tools.  I cant do that because my initramfs-tools is corrupt.  Long loop of problems <_<
[03:32] <zeldafan500> sup
[03:32] <zeldafan500> i gtg
[03:32] <zeldafan500> !being smart
[03:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about being smart - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:32] <Eagleray> andys: why can't you force it to install anyway and ignore any issues?
[03:33] <benchaz> Eagleray: so how do i get to ubuntu after i install windows?
[03:33] <Eagleray> benchaz: after installing windows, boot from a livecd - not too sure what you have, but a lot of them have a 'fix bootloader' option on them
[03:33] <andys> eagleray: How can I?  In order to install it i need working initram-fs tools?
[03:33] <camer0n> how do i get tightvnc to connect to my current x session? i installed it and it is just making another session :S
[03:33] <Eagleray> benchaz: then just reboot ;-)
[03:34] <benchaz> Eagleray: sweeeeet
[03:34] <benchaz> Eagleray: that simple
[03:34] <Eagleray> andys: leave the current problem in a half-installed state
[03:34] <benchaz> Eagleray: thanks tones
[03:34] <Eagleray> andys: and fix initramfs-tools
[03:34] <Eagleray> benchaz: np
[03:34] <naked> crane_:  ??
[03:34] <foutrelis> benchaz: Another way to do it: Reinstall windows and then use Super Grub Disk to fix your MBR :)
[03:34] <camer0n> can anyone help?
[03:34] <Eagleray> andys: then once you've fixed initramfs-tools, fix the problem
[03:34] <kingcobra> what are the options you need in fstab for a usb hd partition to mount at startup with full permissions for me and not just root
[03:35] <Eagleray> andys: I can't remember the command to force it, but it is there
[03:35] <Eagleray> try man apt-get and man dpkg
[03:35] <benchaz> Eagleray: thanks
[03:35] <foutrelis> kingcobra: Checking..
[03:35] <kingcobra> i have looked at man mount and in lots of ubuntu docs but cant figure it out exactly
[03:35] <kingcobra> foutrelis, thanks very much
[03:35] <benchaz> Eagleray: for windows installation, there is a way to install on one partition right?
[03:35] <Eagleray> andys: try man apt-get and man dpkg
[03:35] <numan> eagleray: how to set the screen resolution while my screen is flickering
[03:35] <Eagleray> benchaz: windows can ONLY install on one partition
[03:35] <unimatrix9> hello all..
[03:35] <naked> crane_:  when i reboot i get the "loading grub stage1.5" followed by "grub loading . please wait" and then "error 17"
[03:36] <unimatrix9> hows it going?
[03:36] <Eagleray> numan: what do you mean?
[03:36] <benchaz> Eagleray yea your right
[03:36] <naked> crane_: you got some esplanim' to do :)
[03:36] <benchaz> Eagleray tahnks
[03:36] <naked> esplanin' even
[03:36] <Eagleray> benchaz: no worries
[03:36] <foutrelis> kingcobra: For me it's: /media/hda1 ntfs umask=222,utf8 0 1
[03:36] <unimatrix9> what would i use to do newsgroups and use downloads in newsgroups?
[03:36] <foutrelis> kingcobra: So I think that umask=222 does the trick :)
[03:37] <benchaz> g2g
[03:37] <numan> eagleray: i want to set the resolution to 1024x768 60 Hz 32 bit
[03:37] <cyt> Hi all, Could anyone tell me what's the difference between the update-manager and aptitude dist-upgrade/apt-get dist-upgrade?
[03:37] <Eagleray> numan: I understand that you want to change it, but what do you mean by "while my screen is flickering"?
[03:37] <Answer> how can i check the battery level from the command line?
[03:37] <numan> eagleray: i tried screen resolution in system>prefrences
[03:38] <Answer> cyt, update-manager has a gui
[03:38] <[Away] Yahooadam> how can i install the stuff i need on ubuntu to compile stuff without a network connection ?
[03:38] <kingcobra> foutrelis, ok ill try that
[03:38] <Answer> [Away] Yahooadam, download it somewhere else and burn a cd
[03:38] <cyt> Answer: Thx :)
[03:38] <freanki> hi, glxinfo crashed with a segmentation fault when I install the nvidia-glx-legacy drivers for my GeForce4 card :/ I'm using Ubuntu 7.04
[03:38] <foutrelis> kingcobra: If it doesn't work just come back again and someone more experienced than me will be able to help you further.
[03:38] <Eagleray> numan: what is preventing you from using that to change it?
[03:38] <kingcobra> foutrelis, do you know what happens if you turn on the comp without the usb hd on and then turn it on later
[03:39] <numan> eagleray: when i type into i see whole screen refreshing the chat window everytime a line comes up
[03:39] <[Away] Yahooadam> agh this is driving me nuts, wired network adapter wont work. wireless needs drivers which need to be compiled
[03:39] <foutrelis> kingcobra: It should auto-mount I think.
[03:39] <naked> anybody.... when i have installed Ubuntu 6.10 and when i reboot i get the "loading grub stage1.5" followed by "grub loading . please wait" and then "error 17" what can i do to "easily" fix this
[03:39] <Eagleray> numan: sounds like you have no proper graphics drivers ;-)
[03:39] <kingcobra> foutrelis, thanks for helping
[03:39] <numan> eagleray: when i click apply i automatically logged out
[03:39] <foutrelis> kingcobra: You're welcome.
[03:40] <Eagleray> numan: if it's flickering that much, it means it's trying to render everything in software
[03:40] <kingcobra> foutrelis, i thought you were reading this from your fstab no?
[03:40] <Eagleray> numan: try editing xorg.conf directly
[03:40] <foutrelis> kingcobra: I read my /etc/fstab for that umask=222 option.
[03:40] <Eagleray> numan: (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[03:40] <kkerwin> Hmm. For some reason, my /usr partition is now mounted read-only. I didn't ever enter a command to mark it as that, and I can't find anything in my logs to suggest why. Is there any way to fix the /usr mount without having to reboot, and any ideas why it was marked read only in the first place?
[03:40] <aKKiLLa> quick someone tell me the best torrent client to use in ubunut
[03:40] <naked> please... ubuntu community you're my only hope...
[03:40] <Eagleray> numan: the 'Screen' section is the one you need to worry about
[03:40] <Answer> naked, Grub error 17: Cannot mount selected partition.  check your menu.lst file to make sure it is pointed to the right harddrive and partition
[03:41] <kingcobra> foutrelis, oh right but your not sure what happens with a usb hd?
[03:41] <numan> eagleray: how to solve it, i also tried synaptic package manager to download nvidia-glx and installed it
[03:41] <Eagleray> kkerwin: read-only to root as well?
[03:41] <naked> Answer: okay, and i can do this from the livecd?
[03:41] <erUSUL> naked: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml
[03:41] <foutrelis> kingcobra: Is Ubuntu installed on the external usb hd?
[03:41] <kkerwin> Eagleray: No.
[03:41] <kingcobra> foutrelis, it works for your internal hd partition
[03:41] <kingcobra> foutrelis, no
[03:41] <Answer> naked, you can do it from the grub boot up screen - go to edit or whatever
[03:42] <foutrelis> kingcobra: Hmmm. When you plug in your usb hd what happens?
[03:42] <numan> eagleray: how to edit it with nano?
[03:42] <kingcobra> foutrelis, at the moment nothing
[03:42] <Eagleray> kkerwin: /usr should ALWAYS be read-only to every user except root
[03:42] <naked> Answer: okay so when the error popsup i can hit some magical combination of keys and get a grub-editor?
[03:42] <Eagleray> numan: 'nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[03:42] <numan> is it nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf?
[03:42] <Eagleray> numan: nano -w
[03:42] <numan> ok
[03:43] <Eagleray> numan: the -w is important, if you forget it nano will wrap your lines
[03:43] <kkerwin> Eagleray: Sorry, thought you meant the root partition
[03:43] <numan> ok but what to edit?
[03:43] <kkerwin> Eagleray: It is read only to root.
[03:43] <foutrelis> kingcobra: My usb flash disks get recognized when I plug them in. I have not tried a hd though.
[03:43] <Eagleray> numan: edit the 'Screen' section
[03:43] <Answer> Eagleray, numan,  nano -Bw will make a Backup file and no Word wrap :)
[03:44] <Eagleray> Answer: indeed, but it's more sensible to make a manual backup
[03:44] <kingcobra> foutrelis, sure ill try the 222 thanx very much
[03:44] <Eagleray> Answer: I've had stuff clobber auto-backups before
[03:44] <numan> will i have to be as root?
[03:44] <will_> How do I install Beryl in Edgy?
[03:44] <foutrelis> kingcobra: You're welcome. I wish I could help further.
[03:44] <kkerwin> !beryl | will_
[03:44] <ubotu> will_: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[03:44] <Eagleray> kkerwin: what does /etc/mtab say about it?
[03:45] <kkerwin> rw
[03:45] <kingcobra> foutrelis,  tis ok
[03:45] <will_> kkerwin, I need to know hot to install.
[03:45] <kkerwin> will_:Uhm, try searching at wiki.ubuntu.com
[03:45] <Eagleray> kkerwin: what does 'touch /usr/testfile' output?
[03:45] <kkerwin> will_: You'll find a wealth of info there.
[03:46] <kkerwin> Eagleray: touch: cannot touch `test': Read-only file system
[03:46] <will_> kkerwin, K. Thanks.
[03:46] <bhavi_bond> How to open a new irc channel? I am on Xchat
[03:46] <numan> eagleray: how to paste the details here its very legnthy
[03:46] <Seveas> bhavi_bond, /join #newchannel
[03:46] <foutrelis> !pastebin | numan

[03:46] <IdleOne> bhavi_bond, type /join #mynewchanneliscool
[03:47] <bhavi_bond> Ok then how to register?
[03:47] <tomek_> hello all
[03:47] <Eagleray> kkerwin: what does 'chmod 0755 /usr' output?
[03:47] <IdleOne> !register | bhavi_bond
[03:47] <ubotu> bhavi_bond: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[03:47] <pinchmesh> !register
[03:48] <will_> where is my repository file?
[03:48] <pinchmesh> ?
[03:48] <kkerwin> Eagleray: chmod: changing permissions of `/usr': Read-only file system
[03:48] <tomek_> has anyone used backtrack2.0 before - ive got some questions
[03:48] <Eagleray> will_: /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:48] <IdleOne> will_, /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:48] <Eagleray> kkerwin: you'll need to remount it
[03:48] <Eagleray> kkerwin: a reboot is best, but if you really need to you can remount without rebooting
[03:48] <bhavi_bond> then how to TOPICLOCK?
[03:49] <Eagleray> kkerwin: run 'umount -L /usr && mount /usr'
[03:49] <tomek_> anyone from Poland here ?
[03:49] <IdleOne> bhavi_bond, www.freenode.org has all that information...read!
[03:49] <Eagleray> kkerwin: -L means 'lazy', all things currently using the existing mount get to keep it, everything else uses the new mount
[03:49] <kkerwin> -L is an invalid option.
[03:50] <Eagleray> kkerwin: hang on, looking at the manpage - I must be remembering wrong
[03:50] <kkerwin> -l There we go.
[03:50] <numan> eagleray: here the details of screen section in xorg.conf file--> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14720/
[03:50] <Eagleray> kkerwin: wrong case :$
[03:50] <Eagleray> numan: and what screen resolution & refresh do you want?
[03:51] <Kuutio> Hmm. Is there anyone here who'd want to help me with my Ubuntu? Using Edgy, with nvidia drivers and a 32" lcd tv on a dvi->hdmi cable, and for some reason I cannot use any other resolution than 1024x768
[03:51] <numan> eagleray: 1024x768 60hz
[03:51] <kkerwin> Eagleray: Run mount again: mount: /dev/disk/by-uuid/421679a2-333b-4fb5-9d6c-0f2ea72d3c3a already mounted or /usr busy
[03:51] <will_> If I have a pentium I'm Intel, right?
[03:51] <kkerwin> Eagleray: So I try to unmount again: umount: /usr: not mounted
[03:51] <numan> eagleray:i am not sure about refresh rate coz i am using lcd screen
[03:52] <Steve^> Can I resize an NTFS partition from within Ubuntu? (Without another live CD?)
[03:52] <kkerwin> Eagleray: mount -f worked.
[03:52] <Eagleray> kkerwin: careful with that!
[03:52] <kkerwin> Eagleray: Huh. but it didn't actually mount it.
[03:52] <Eagleray> numan: remove "1280x1024" "1152x864" from line 27
[03:52] <Eagleray> save
[03:53] <Eagleray> then restart X
[03:53] <Steve^> And how much linux swap should I have?
[03:53] <kkerwin> Eagleray: Aggh. I gotta get to class. I will be back in an hour.
[03:53] <crane_> naked: sorry man, Work keeps pulling me away
[03:53] <tomek_> can i ask some hardware/tech problems questions here relating Ubu6.10 ?
[03:53] <will_> Does Compiz = Beryl?
[03:53] <crane_> naked: I dropped back and read
[03:53] <Eagleray> kkerwin: I'll be gone by then - it's 1:53am here
[03:53] <Eagleray> kkerwin: just reboot the damn thing ;-)
[03:53] <crane_> naked: also try http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=120802
[03:54] <Eagleray> kkerwin: depending on the situation, mount -o bind may also work
[03:54] <Eagleray> kkerwin: (i.e. mount /elsewhere, then bind it to /usr)
[03:54] <numan> eagleray: i have to remove it for all depths or only 24?
[03:54] <crane_> naked: it may be easier to you the live CD to edit Grub config, it will just take longer and more reboots.
[03:54] <Steve^> I let ubuntu do the partitions itself. Might I ask why it gave itself half my ram, rather than twice it?
[03:54] <Steve^> (Which is probably why hibernation fails 50% of the time)
[03:55] <gils> no upgrades today then?
[03:55] <erUSUL> !ask | tomek
[03:55] <ubotu> tomek: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:55] <Eagleray> Steve^: because it probably doesn't need twice your ram's worth of swap ;-)
[03:55] <Eagleray> Steve^: generally linux will use all available memory before swapping
[03:55] <Steve^> Eagleray, is the swap where my hibernation goes?
[03:55] <Answer> naked, when you boot up go into the grub menu and edit the line so that it has the right /dev/hdd1 partition
[03:55] <i0null> Linux Genuine Advantage doesn't work on Fiesty Beta
[03:55] <Eagleray> numan: should only need 24 - assuming that's the depth you normally use
[03:55] <kingcobra> can somebody please show me somewhere explaining umask options
[03:56] <Steve^> Often when I try to hibernate, some message flashes (I see the word swap, not much else) and it goes back to login
[03:56] <kingcobra> i cant find it on google, ubuntu docs or man pages

[03:59] <lubeque> ineed install mozilla firefox in my ubuntu
[03:59] <unimatrix9> whats the difference between bittorrent and bittorrent-gui?
[03:59] <mt3> We overheard my mum asking my dad if she could buy us a Core 2 Extreme computer
[03:59] <Kuutio> Hmm. Is there anyone here who'd want to help me with my Ubuntu? Using Edgy, with nvidia drivers and a 32" lcd tv on a dvi->hdmi cable, and for some reason I cannot use any other resolution than 1024x768.
[03:59] <mt3> And my dad said not until our current computer is no longer usable
[03:59] <Eagleray> lubeque: start adept, choose firefox, and click apply ;-)
[03:59] <Eagleray> lubeque: easy :D
[03:59] <mt3> How can we kill it, without it being obvious
[03:59] <bhavi_bond> hello
[03:59] <rsthree> mt3, drop your current computer off a cliff :D  will that work? :D
[04:00] <blippe> unimatrix9: bittorrent is for the terminal, the -gui uses the other and presents a nice grafical interface
[04:00] <Eagleray> lubeque: apternatively, type 'apt-get install firefox' in a hsell
[04:00] <unimatrix9> lubeque , just download it from their site ( or do apt-get install firefox ) but it should be there by default
[04:00] <Shafto> mt3, Ummm rip bits out of it?
[04:00] <bhavi_bond> pls help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:00] <Eagleray> lubeque: *shell

[04:00] <mt3> Shafto: He will know. We need a way of doing it so it just kills the hardware with no physical signs...
[04:00] <unimatrix9> blippe, if i download torrents i get an gui? so whats different?
[04:00] <crane_> mt3: remove the hard drive and rub it vigorously on the carpet or a cat.
[04:00] <bhavi_bond> hello
[04:00] <Eagleray> numan: 'sudo <command>'

[04:02] <Answer> ubuntu-offtopic
[04:02] <herdi> Hey everyone, got a lil problem: I did a "sudo rm -drf /chroot/" :) and managed to delete up to 18GB from home. Is there any way to see what was actually deleted? So far I can only see one big directory missing. Is it possible to find out its size from e.g. slocate.db or some other place? Apparently there is no undelete for ext3?
[04:02] <Eagleray> Answer: Not really, most components will quite happily survive a magnet :p
[04:02] <crane_> mt3: I like the overclock idea. Have some fun while killing it!
[04:02] <udaiy> ha..........

[04:05] <snerge> tnx PriceChild
[04:05] <mt3> So where shall I put a magnet to permenantly and completely destroy the computer
[04:05] <Eagleray> bhavi_bond: stop spamming, if you have a question ask it
[04:05] <mt3> I want to destroy the motherboard xD
[04:05] <Eagleray> bhavi_bond: otherwise shut up
[04:05] <Aaroncn> how to let archive manager support rar?
[04:05] <IdleOne> !rar | Aaroncn
[04:05] <ubotu> Aaroncn: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[04:05] <Alam_Ubuntu> Aaroncn, install unrar or rar
[04:05] <herdi> anyone?
[04:05] <fr0g> Eagleray: but I thought it's for the web/network, so what's the use if I can't access it from another PC?
[04:05] <Eagleray> fr0g: type 'sudo su'
[04:06] <Eagleray> fr0g: then change what you want to change
[04:06] <kingcobra> Eagleray, none of those pages describe the umask options
[04:06] <Aaroncn> ubotu, thanks.
[04:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks. - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:06] <Aaroncn> Alam_Ubuntu, thanks.
[04:06] <rsthree> :D
[04:06] <kingcobra> is there nothing that describes all of the umask options
[04:06] <numan> eagleray: it changed the resolution but screen refreshing is still not solved
[04:06] <kingcobra> Eagleray,
[04:06] <Eagleray> fr0g: you should be able to access it via a web browser by pointing it at http://yourpc
[04:06] <s0nix> Hi, i got 2 problem :) .... First, why my XGL cannot run under well linux-image-generic (686) BUT it's run perfectly with beryl under the linux-image-386 ? Secondly, why my SWAP partition is no more recognized
[04:07] <bhavi_bond> i have been here asking this q for 45 mins
[04:07] <Eagleray> numan: you'll have to get someone else to help with that sorry, I can't remember the refresh rate settings
[04:07] <unimatrix9> what?
[04:07] <bhavi_bond> Patience test
[04:07] <Answer> bhavi_bond, ask your question now in one line or less
[04:07] <bhavi_bond> Channel [<#linuxmobile>]  does not exist Error when i try to register
[04:07] <Eagleray> kingcobra: ah, I was hoping they would
[04:07] <fr0g> Eagleray: I get forbidden when try to open it from my internal IP
[04:07] <Eagleray> kingcobra: hang on, I'll find something better
[04:07] <Answer> bhavi_bond, that channel does not exist.  try another channel.
[04:07] <IdleOne> bhavi_bond, try /msg chanserv help
[04:08] <Eagleray> fr0g: chmod it to 0755
[04:08] <numan> eagleray: its not due to refresh rate i think its due to display driver bcoz same thing happens in windows
[04:08] <Eagleray> fr0g: 'chmod 0755 -R /var/www'
[04:08] <jhasse> Is there a better free voip client then ekiga?
[04:08] <crane_> bhavi_bond: so have you joined that channel?
[04:08] <Eagleray> numan: windows does not use the same driver
[04:08] <bhavi_bond> yes
[04:08] <udaiy> gggg
[04:09] <crane_> bhavi_bond: and you are trying to register it?
[04:09] <fr0g> Eagleray: cool :D thanks :D and bye :D
[04:09] <Eagleray> kingcobra: is this what you're after? ----> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask
[04:09] <mt3> Can someone please help me
[04:09] <kingcobra> Eagleray, thanks very much
[04:09] <bhavi_bond> yes
[04:09] <fr0g> yay for ubuntu
[04:09] <Eagleray> kingcobra: np
[04:09] <numan> eagleray: i mean that due to driver incompatibilty or something else but i have no problem with windows or debian with this card
[04:09] <Eagleray> numan: which driver are you using?
[04:10] <crane_> bhavi_bond: I don't think this is an ubuntu problem.
[04:10] <Eagleray> numan: it wil be listed in the 'Device' section
[04:10] <mt3> I have a  wireless card which works out of the box in Ubuntu and won't work in any other OS xD
[04:10] <numan> i dont know but i installed one from synaptic package manager for nvidia-glx
[04:10] <Eagleray> numan: then change the driver in xorg.conf to 'nvidia'
[04:11] <Eagleray> numan: that should fix it
[04:11] <andys> eagleray: I now have the command to force the offending packages to be removed.
[04:11] <Eagleray> andys: excellent :D
[04:11] <floating> Hi. I installed easyubuntu. Then I tagged a list of components to install, now it asks permission to install them, but the list became so long, that I cannot see the OK button below, if there is one. I cannot resize the window from the upside either, where should I resize it. (xubuntu)
[04:12] <kingcobra> Eagleray, that doesnt really explain to me what umask=0222 and umask=0002 etc are
[04:12] <andys> Everyone: should I remove usplash ubuntu theme?  Its what wants a initramfs regen/
[04:12] <KDan> hi, my Xorg process seems to be going up and down between 100% cpu usage and 30% or so -- how can I find out what it's actually doing?
[04:12] <kingcobra> Eagleray, sorry, i looked at that page 10 mins ago actually
[04:12] <unimatrix9> floating , just press enter?
[04:12] <unimatrix9> will not work?
[04:12] <Daverocks> KDan: what video drivers are you using?
[04:12] <herdi> Did a "sudo rm -drf /chroot/" Is it possible to find out what was deleted (from slocate.db or some other place)?
[04:12] <KDan> Daverocks: nvidia
[04:13] <floating> not work unimatrix9
[04:13] <Eagleray> andys, kingcobra, numan, foutrelis: It's 2:12am here and I'm seriously tired, so I'm going to bed. Good luck solving your issues.
[04:13] <Daverocks> KDan: do you have the cpu swings when you use the nv drivers?
[04:13] <KDan> nah
[04:13] <Eagleray> kingcobra: 0002 is public write only, 0222 is write to all users
[04:13] <kingcobra> Eagleray, ok no prob
[04:13] <andys> eagleray: thanks for ur help
[04:13] <KDan> it seems to be just the Xorg process, and has only done this today so far
[04:13] <Eagleray> andys: no worries, good luck
[04:13] <Daverocks> KDan: so previous days, with the nvidia drivers, it was fine?
[04:13] <foutrelis> Eagleray: Huh? :P
[04:14] <KDan> i could try just restarting X, but for future reference I'm wondering whether there's a way to find out what it's actually doing
[04:14] <KDan> Daverocks: yes
[04:14] <napsy_> in which package is the 'write' program?
[04:14] <andys> so everyone, is it ok to remove ubuntu-usplash theme?
[04:14] <numan> thanks eagleray for your kind help
[04:14] <Daverocks> KDan: did you change anything today?
[04:14] <KDan> (plus if i just restart X it'll kill my music *grin*)
[04:14] <Eagleray> foutrelis: what did 'Huh?' refer to?
[04:14] <andys> the sky wont fall will it?
[04:15] <KDan> yes, i uninstalled ubuntu-desktop and installed xubuntu-desktop instead
[04:15] <KDan> finished off the switch to Xfce basically
[04:15] <foutrelis> Eagleray: You said my nick before. Anyway, good sleep. :)
[04:15] <KDan> before that i had Xfce and some bits and pieces of gnome running in parallel
[04:15] <Eagleray> foutrelis: did I?
[04:15] <Eagleray> foutrelis: not intentionally anyway. I'll sleep well ;-) 'night
[04:15] <foutrelis> Eagleray: Yup. Nevermind. :)
[04:16] <herdi> any way to see the size of a deleted folder? from slocate.db for example?
[04:16] <herdi> anyone?
[04:16] <stdin> anyone help me get the internet working on edgy
[04:16] <kingcobra> can somebody please show me somewhere explaining umask options
[04:16] <kingcobra> i cant find it on google, ubuntu docs or man pages
[04:16] <floating> unimatrix9: I chose to tag only couple at a time, and now I can do it. But I suggest this could be fiexed. It is strange that I cannot resize window from upside
[04:17] <crane_> kingcobra: are you editing fstab?
[04:17] <stdin> anyone help me get the internet working on edgy
[04:17] <KDan> kingcobra: http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/networking/puis/ch05_03.htm
[04:17] <kingcobra> crane_, yes but i would like a page explaining umask options
[04:17] <kingcobra> KDan, ill look now
[04:18] <sven> Hi kingcobra, did you understand german? I have a Link explaining umask but it's in german language
[04:18] <kingcobra> sven, no sorry
[04:18] <stdin> anyone help me get the internet working on edgy its a cable modem
[04:18] <Daverocks> KDan: i'm not sure if removing ubuntu-desktop removes anything
[04:18] <Daverocks> KDan: because it's a meta-package
[04:19] <KDan> Daverocks: i don't think it does
[04:19] <KDan> oh it did remove stuff
[04:19] <Eagleray_sleep> kingcobra: http://www.tech-faq.com/umask.shtml
[04:19] <Daverocks> KDan: what did you remove it with?
[04:19] <numan> anybody know how to get the mediaplayer codecs for files like wma,wmv.mp3
[04:19] <DarkLegacy> Hey guys, I want to install Ubuntu on a machine that has an Nvidia RAID. When installing via Windows XP - I can insert the raid drivers into the floppy drive and allow the system to continue installation that way, but how do I do it with Ubuntu?
[04:19] <andys> Dont metapackages remove there depenencies?
[04:19] <KDan> well, put it this way: i managed to rid myself of nautilus and evolution and reclaim about 300M of RAM
[04:19] <kingcobra> Eagleray_sleep, thanks very much
[04:19] <Answer> sven, kingcobra, Eagleray_sleep you can translate urls with http://babelfish.altavista.com
[04:19] <stdin> anyone help me get the internet working on edgy its a cable modem
[04:19] <kingcobra> Answer, yes but not always perfectly
[04:20] <KDan> Daverocks: i don't think that the ubuntu-desktop thing is related to the Xorg problem - in any case, i won't know until i find out WHAT Xorg is doing
[04:20] <Daverocks> KDan: hang on, how was nautilus running if you started an Xfce session?
[04:20] <DarkLegacy> Anyone?
[04:20] <KDan> Daverocks: that is not relevant at this point
[04:20] <Answer> KDan, linux uses up as much memory as possible as a rule.  if you run "top" it will show you the difference between "active" and "inactive" memory.  inactive is stuff that linux has loaded "just in case" you need it
[04:20] <KDan> Daverocks: in short, i botched up the xfce install before
[04:20] <Eagleray_sleep> kingcobra: is that actually what you were looking for?
[04:20] <Daverocks> KDan: yep, so the problem kind of arose as you installed xfce
[04:20] <KDan> nah
[04:20] <KDan> i installed Xfce ages ago
[04:20] <Daverocks> KDan: actually, it could be xfce's window manager's compositor
[04:21] <KDan> but only realised recently i still had loads of bits of crap using up my memory from the gnome day
[04:21] <KDan> Daverocks: how can I tell whether it is that?
[04:21] <Daverocks> KDan: it does all the shadows and transparency and stuff, and it was eating up my resources earlier too
[04:21] <KDan> it's true that I enabled the compositor recently
[04:21] <KDan> it was working fine for several hours
[04:21] <Eagleray_sleep> ok, I'm really going this time!
[04:21] <KDan> bad code in the compositor?
[04:21] <crane_> kingcobra: http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/UNIXhelp/examples/umask.html
[04:21] <floating> uwaah. easyubuntu feels like a mischoice. I started installing with it, and now it says failed on many of the files i should download. now when some of them failed, the download progress is stuck, and nothing happens. i may cancel it, but i have downloadfed random files from random things, i guess. I hope I can undo these changes.
[04:21] <kingcobra> Eagleray_sleep, its getting there
[04:22] <crane_> kingcobra: http://www.hccfl.edu/pollock/Unix/OctChartE.htm
[04:22] <Daverocks> KDan: i disabled it because it was drastically lowering fps on all my 3D games
[04:22] <kingcobra> Eagleray_sleep, go to sleep man its ok
[04:22] <numan> daverocks: can you tell me how to get the media codecs for totem mplayer
[04:22] <Pici> ubotu, tell Eagleray_sleep about away
[04:22] <kingcobra> crane_, thanks
[04:22] <Daverocks> KDan: just started the window manager with the "no compositor" option or whatever
[04:22] <KDan> Daverocks: meh, this machine can't cope with 3d games :-)
[04:22] <crane_> :)
[04:22] <KDan> bah, ok. only just enabled it today
[04:22] <numan> crane_: ??
[04:22] <crane_> yes
[04:23] <KDan> i'll restart again with the compositor, and see if the runaway process occurs again. if it does, i'll disable teh compositor....
[04:23] <KDan> thanks

[04:24] <crane_> numan: have you looked at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[04:24] <Alanius> I have two ethernet devices
[04:24] <Alanius> I can activate them both at the same time
[04:24] <Alanius> but I can't use them both at the same time
[04:24] <crane_> numan: do not use totem, so I am not real sure
[04:25] <crane_> :)
[04:25] <Alanius> through one, my computer is connected to the router+internet, through the other, my computer is connected to another computer
[04:25] <Answer> Alanius, /sbin/route
[04:25] <numan> Crane_: i am looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[04:25] <Alanius> what does that do?
[04:25] <marc_smith> ultrahiperopsypsychiatrobuntu
[04:25] <Answer> Alanius, /sbin/route shows the routing table.  sounds like you have a problem with your default route sending all traffic to one location and nothing through the other ethernet
[04:25] <marc_smith> the mutation
[04:26] <Merijn> allright
[04:26] <Alanius> so how do I change that?
[04:26] <Merijn> I'm going to convert my server from win2000 to ubuntu
[04:26] <Merijn> which version should I get? the latest?
[04:26] <Daverocks> Merijn: yeah, why not ;)
[04:26] <El_Burro> how do i share a folder between 2 ubuntu installs?
[04:26] <jani> hi
[04:26] <Answer> Alanius, well you should have two IP Addresses right?  you need a default route to the first one with the internet and a secondary route to the second one connected to your other computer
[04:27] <Daverocks> Merijn: although feisty (7.04) is coming out in just over a week, if you want to wait :P
[04:27] <ompaul> !NFS > El_Burro
[04:27] <AngryElf_> what's the standard font format and what directory are they in?
[04:27] <Merijn> Daverocks > I heard some problems with 'the latest version' at some point
[04:27] <ompaul> El_Burro, check the message from the bot
[04:27] <Merijn> nah, the server got hacked and I'm sick of it
[04:27] <El_Burro> taa
[04:27] <squire> Merijn: highly recommend feisty fawn
[04:27] <Alanius> Answer, yes, I have two IP adresses
[04:27] <jani> can i update 5.10 to 6.10 or does it need whole new install?
[04:27] <Alanius> how do I make a secondary route?
[04:27] <Daverocks> jani: upgrade to 6.06, then upgrade to 6.10
[04:28] <Answer> Alanius, and these two ip addresses are on separate networks right?
[04:28] <ardchoille> !upgrade | jani
[04:28] <ubotu> jani: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:28] <crane_> Merijn: Ubuntu-server dapper is LTS but the newer releases will have better features
[04:28] <jani> thanks
[04:28] <Merijn> I'm sorry, what's lts?
[04:28] <Daverocks> Merijn: long term support
[04:28] <Alanius> Answer: wait a second, I have one IP address on both computers
[04:28] <crane_> Merijn: Long term support
[04:28] <Merijn> ok
[04:28] <jube> when using the ltsp, how can I configure the login screen on the client?
[04:28] <Alanius> my second ethernet device does not have an ip
[04:29] <Answer> Alanius, on the computer with two interfaces, you should have two different IPs.  one to the internet and one to your pc
[04:29] <squire> june 2011 for server edition
[04:29] <Daverocks> Merijn: if you can, wait about a week for feisty, but if you can't wait, i'd say get edgy because it has a newer kernel
[04:29] <Alanius> so I should manually set the IP for the second eth device?
[04:30] <MarkC1> Alanius: yes.
[04:30] <Answer> Alanius, yeah you will need the second interface set to an IP similar to the pc your trying to connect
[04:30] <Merijn> thanks dave, I'll go with edgy for now and see if upgrading is worth it when feisty goes final
[04:30] <Answer> Alanius, the IP for the second interface needs to be different than your first interface so that it doesn't route all traffic there
[04:30] <andys> gurus:  is it possible to re-install initramfs-tools without totaling my system?
[04:31] <Alanius> okay
[04:31] <MarkC1> Alanius: http://hk2999.livejournal.com/13372.html
[04:31] <squire> Merijn: why not get the feisy beta now?
[04:32] <foutrelis> Merijn: I would suggest a few days more for Feisty going stable. :)
[04:32] <foutrelis> *suggest waiting
[04:32] <squire> stable enough here :)
[04:32] <foutrelis> *Feisty to go stable :\

[04:36] <foutrelis> kadakas: NTFS = NT File System. I don't see why you would like to use that :P
[04:36] <kadakas> foes it support FAT32 ?
[04:36] <davisc> yes
[04:36] <kadakas> i use NTFS in windows, because its a journaling fs
[04:36] <Bjweb1> i think theere is a driver somewhere for NTFS writing
[04:36] <ardchoille> NTFS = Not Today File System
[04:36] <mwalling_> if i chmod -x a file in ~/.config/autostart, will that stop it from starting next login? its not showing up in "autostarted applications" in xubuntu
[04:36] <foutrelis> kadakas: You can read/write from/to NTFS partitions.
[04:36] <squire> i think vista will have folks looking for an alternative and feisty is certainly that
[04:36] <davisc> kadakas: You can *read* NTFS in Uvunty
[04:36] <kadakas> ok, i'll use FAT32 then
[04:37] <crane_> kadakas: there are ways to write to it but it could cause damage to the ntfs file system.  **Not Suggested**
[04:37] <kadakas> ok
[04:37] <foutrelis> ntfs-3g | kadakas  :)
[04:37] <foutrelis> !ntfs-3g | kadakas  :)
[04:37] <ubotu> kadakas  :): ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[04:37] <kadakas> then FAT32 it is :)
[04:37] <Cosmo_>  whenever I use synaptic to install or uninstall packages it tries to reinstall the vmware player and fails, how do I fix this?
[04:37] <squire> ntfs-3g works v well ime
[04:37] <Cyrus> i am using tvtime but there are mutiple lines just on the right side, how can i fix that
[04:38] <ubuntu_> ubuntu-it
[04:38] <ErrantEgo> i'm using ubuntu as a webserver (my buddy set it up for me)...the thing is, I don't know the first thing about ubuntu. I would like to know how much space I have left on the hard drive. What command, if any, do i input?
[04:38] <kadakas> df -h
[04:38] <ErrantEgo> kadakas: was that directed toward me?
[04:38] <kingcobra> crane_, do umask values always have 3 digits
[04:38] <kadakas> ErrantEgo: yes
[04:38] <ardchoille> ErrantEgo: yes
[04:38] <mwalling_> if i chmod -x a file in ~/.config/autostart, will that stop it from starting next login? its not showing up in "autostarted applications" in xubuntu
[04:38] <ErrantEgo> kadakas: k.
[04:39] <ubuntu_> join #ubuntu-it
[04:39] <ErrantEgo> are there any webpages out there that show basic apache commands?
[04:39] <ErrantEgo> im completely stupid when it comes to ubuntu :(
[04:39] <squire> anyone running webmin?
[04:39] <ardchoille> !webmin
[04:39] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[04:39] <squire> really?
[04:39] <ompaul> !lamp > ErrantEgo (check the thing from the bot)
[04:40] <squire> i've set it up here
[04:40] <squire> works well
[04:40] <ErrantEgo> ompaul: got it
[04:40] <ErrantEgo> thanks
[04:40] <ompaul> squire, well we don't support it :)
[04:40] <crane_> kingcobra: any I have used do, I believe there are 4 digit one but I am unfamiliar with them
[04:40] <TheVault> Can someone help me out. I just installed Feisty Fawn and its showing me wifi light on my laptop. People in the Ubuntu+1 channel keep ignoring me. Anyway, when I scan for wireless, nothing happens nor is it showing up in the Network Manager thing. Is this a error or something?
[04:40] <squire> oic :/
[04:40] <squire> what alternative?
[04:40] <Cyrus> can any one help me with tvtime
[04:40] <crane_> kingcobra: don't quote me kn that either. I haven't messed with them in a while
[04:41] <ardchoille> squire: Learn how to do things manually?
[04:41] <konsole> dwcqc
[04:41] <ErrantEgo> ompaul: does the nickname rrittenhouse ring a bell with you?
[04:41] <konsole> join #ubuntu-it
[04:41] <kingcobra> crane_, ok thanks
[04:41] <ompaul> ErrantEgo, perhaps but I would have to look it up
[04:41] <blubbibla> hey, i installed ubuntu on my computer. everything's fine, except the internal loudspeaker doesn't work, any ideas?
[04:42] <squire> ardchoille: sure but it is thew way of the future
[04:42] <alexboy> afternoon, folks
[04:42] <ErrantEgo> ompaul: ah, ok..
[04:42] <foutrelis> konsole: Try "/join #ubuntu-it" (without the quotes) to join #ubuntu-it
[04:42] <ErrantEgo> i THINK he's been in here
[04:42] <ErrantEgo> hes the one that set my webserver up
[04:42] <dystopianray> blubbibla: is the pcspkr module loaded?
[04:42] <squire> or do we rely on vnc?
[04:42] <Alanius> oh, LinuxMint is just great! It stopped responding while I was installing it and now it gives me a error everytime I want to tweak the network
[04:43] <blubbibla> dystopianray: where can i enable it?
[04:43] <ardchoille> squire: Well, if you rely totally on a gui for things and x breaks for some reason, you'll be lost without knowing the cli way to fix things.
[04:43] <TheVault> Can someone help me really quick
[04:43] <dystopianray> blubbibla: try the following: lsmod | grep pcspkr
[04:43] <jatt> !ask
[04:43] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:43] <ikonia> whats up
[04:43] <Answer> TheVault, can you ask your question really quick
[04:43] <ardchoille> lol
[04:43] <squire> sure - i completely agree

[04:44] <ikonia> Vio: yes
[04:44] <Vio> why?
[04:44] <TheVault> Answer: I just installed Feisty. Its showing my wifi glowing green but when I scan in the network manager or the terminal, nothing shows up. Should I go ahead and add my own drivers?
[04:44] <ikonia> Vio: because it is
[04:44] <dystopianray> blubbibla: ok so that driver is loaded, you are talking about that little speaker that is inside the computer and just beeps, right?
[04:44] <ompaul> squire, ssh or openvpn
[04:44] <foutrelis> Vio: It is spamming. End.
[04:44] <Vio> coz its informative?
[04:44] <ikonia> TheVault: fesity support is in #ubuntu+1
[04:44] <Toma-> Vio: you can ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:44] <ompaul> Vio, don't debate it - your not in the right place
[04:44] <Answer> TheVault, what are you trying to do get online?
[04:44] <TheVault> ikonia: Nobody in there is even listening to me
[04:45] <Vio> and it involes everything around us.. i'll go to offtopic
[04:45] <TheVault> Answer: My wireless internet
[04:45] <ikonia> TheVault: thats the correct place to discuss it

[04:45] <ardchoille> s0nix: the 19th
[04:45] <TheVault> ikonia: Yeah I know but they keep ignoring me, after I ask and wait and ask and wait about 6 differ times
[04:45] <ikonia> TheVault: thats the correct place to discuss it
[04:45] <squire> ompaul: great - noted, thanks
[04:45] <ardchoille> TheVault: Perhaps no one in there is at their keyboard now?
[04:45] <TheVault> ikonia: Yes I understand. Thank you
[04:45] <dystopianray> blubbibla: ah, have you checked that the volume levels are all up and unmuted in alsamixer?

[04:46] <bef> Is the best FTP client for ubuntu gFTP?
[04:46] <ikonia> TheVault: if you are patience I'm sure ubuntu+1 will respond
[04:46] <blubbibla> bef: try nautilus's ftp-client
[04:46] <Toma-> bef: nautilus would be nicer
[04:46] <crimsun> blubbibla: pastebin the required info from http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems , and tell me the url
[04:47] <Answer> TheVault, Go to command line as super user.  Type "iwconfig"  what is the name of your wireless ethernet device?  examples are "ath0" "eth0" etc
[04:47] <TheVault> ikonia: I'll give it another try
[04:47] <bef> nautilus as in the bittorrent client? :o
[04:47] <bef> LOL
[04:47] <numan> how to  configure evolution mail for http mail server?
[04:47] <bef> ;)
[04:47] <ikonia> TheVault: thank you
[04:47] <bef> roflmao late night, sorryboys.
[04:47] <TheVault> Answer: Oh, its eth1 its showing up as
[04:47] <squire> i'm thoroughly impressed with feisty
[04:47] <bef> blubbibla: Toma-: is nautilius ftp preinstalled or in the repos
[04:47] <Answer> TheVault, type "iwlist eth1 scan"
[04:47] <jin_> hello
[04:48] <TheVault> Answer: No scan results
[04:48] <jin_> is there any word processor I can use that support the chinese language?
[04:48] <toddobryan> Is there anything other than Evolution that will access an Outlook Server through the web interface?
[04:48] <Answer> TheVault, is your ssid hidden?
[04:48] <Toma-> bef: nautilus is the thing you look at your files with in gnome
[04:48] <ikonia> guys - take it to ubuntu+1 please - this isn't the place for fesity yet
[04:48] <TheVault> Answer: nope. Maybe there is a problem or something? Should I just go ahead and add my own drivers?
[04:48] <bef> Toma-:  lol yeh, I'm having a bad night. So where can I locate the nautilus ftp client
[04:48] <jpjacobs> jin_, if you're fine with CLI, geeresh is a fully utf8 capable text editor...
[04:48] <TheVault> Answer: Mind, you this is fresh install. I have not touched anything
[04:49] <jpjacobs> i mean gereqh
[04:49] <squire> ikonia: sorry - i'm new here - noted
[04:49] <jpjacobs> geresh*
[04:49] <foutrelis> bef: Go to Places -> Connect to Server and fill in the details ;)
[04:49] <ikonia> squire: not you
[04:49] <TheVault> Answer: However I am installing all the updates though as we speak. Around 282(382mb)
[04:49] <Toma-> bef: open nautilus, hit "Ctrl L" i think to get the location op and enter the ftp ip
[04:49] <Answer> TheVault, if iwconfig and iwlist work the drivers should be ok.
[04:49] <toddobryan> bef: You should be able to open any file browser and just type ftp:// at the beginning.
[04:49] <ikonia> TheVault: please take it to ubuntu+1
[04:49] <toddobryan> Nautilus is cool that way.
[04:49] <Answer> TheVault, do you know your ssid and wep key?
[04:49] <jin_> jpjacobs, does it support SCIM?
[04:50] <Merijn> what's the best way to export mysql data from win2000 so that I can properly import it in ubuntu again?
[04:50] <Merijn> just sql commands?
[04:50] <Answer> ikonia, it seems he has a wireless config issue not a feisty issue.
[04:50] <Suurorca> jin_: pretty much any of them. you just need to configure SCIMfor ch input. dunno about spell/grammaire checking, though.
[04:50] <Answer> Merijn, try mysqldump
[04:50] <TheVault> Answer: I don't want to upset anyone in here by talking about Feisty related stuff, i am going to the ubuntu+1 channel if you wanna discuss there
[04:50] <bef> Toma-: foutrelis: toddobryan: I don't think I'm making myself clear, maybe I am, I'm wanting a client for uploading files to my website ;)
[04:50] <ikonia> Answer: but he's running fesity
[04:50] <toddobryan> Merijn: Do a mysqldump.
[04:50] <squire> ikonia: oh? what is the appropriate channel for feisty?
[04:50] <jin_> jpjacobs, sure geeresh is the right name?
[04:50] <TheVault> squire: #ubuntu+1
[04:50] <disasm> squire: #ubuntu+1
[04:50] <Toma-> bef: yep. itll do that.
[04:50] <foutrelis> bef: And what is wrong with Places -> Connect to Server? :P
[04:50] <ikonia> squire: ubuntu+1
[04:50] <toddobryan> bef: Places->Connect to Server.
[04:51] <squire> this just happens to be the default channel in xchat
[04:51] <oldude67> #ubuntu+1
[04:51] <squire> ikonia: thanks
[04:51] <bef> Toma-: foutrelis: toddobryan: thanks :)
[04:51] <Garrett> Hi all
[04:51] <foutrelis> bef: You're welcome ;)
[04:52] <toddobryan> So, back to my question...Evolution has the ability to connect to an Outlook account through the web interface.
[04:52] <toddobryan> But Evolution is *really* buggy, at least for me.
[04:52] <bandolero> configure: error: *** gzip library (libz) not found
[04:52] <toddobryan> Can anything else do the Outlook Web Access thing?
[04:52] <bandolero> whereis libz?
[04:53] <bandolero> i cant find it in the repos (apt-cache search...)
[04:53] <Garrett> I am trying to setup a client to use <IP_ADDRESS>/24 as its default gw, but it is currently on <IP_ADDRESS>/24 network.  I can't seem to get a static route between networks to work and then allow me to set the default gw.  Any ideas on how to do this?
[04:53] <Answer> Garrett, To add a default gateway teh command is :  /sbin/route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> ethX
[04:53] <dafart__> hi there, a quick question, when I install a beta version of feisty, will it be a tough nut to crack to update to final release once it has been official 15 april ?
[04:54] <bandolero> is it zlib?
[04:54] <Toma-> dafart__: nope.
[04:54] <nakedlefty> hey ya'll finally up and running with Ubuntu
[04:54] <foutrelis> dafart__: I think that only some packages will be updated.
[04:54] <ardchoille> bandolero: zlib1g
[04:54] <Merijn> jeez, some amateur hackers took over my server
[04:54] <snerge> dafart__: you just apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[04:54] <Merijn> not even a rootkit, just a hacked serv-u install
[04:54] <Toma-> foutrelis: actually... huge amounts of packages will be updated
[04:54] <dystopianray> dafart__: I think there are several hundred MBs of updates already from the beta to now
[04:54] <bandolero> it is installed.
[04:55] <Vio> changeing back to m$.. linux is way to unstable atm with xgl+crappy ati drivers and unstable beryl
[04:55] <nakedlefty> have a slight problem though, my GFX card - any one have any experience with Ubuntu and a Radeon x1950(PRO)
[04:55] <nakedlefty> ?
[04:55] <dafart__> Toma-, foutrelis so it's just an apt-get update ?
[04:55] <bandolero> ii  zlib1g                           1.2.3-13ubuntu2                      compression library - runtime
[04:55] <s0nix> anyone use XGL with the kernel linux-image-generic
[04:55] <Toma-> dafart__: no, dist-upgrade most likely
[04:55] <jin_>
[04:55] <dafart__> ok
[04:55] <bandolero> ardchoille: any tips?
[04:55] <foutrelis> Toma-: dist-upgrade from beta?
[04:55] <ardchoille> bandolero: No, I don't compile apps.
[04:55] <jpjacobs> jin_, no idea, i don't use neither
[04:55] <Toma-> foutrelis: yep. probably not from a RC
[04:56] <foutrelis> Toma-: Nice to know. :P Thanks
[04:56] <ardchoille> bandolero: What are you compiling? Have you checked the repos?
[04:56] <bandolero> ardchoille: partimage.
[04:56] <ardchoille> !partimage | bandolero
[04:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about partimage - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:56] <Garrett> When I try to add the gw it says... SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
[04:56] <nakedlefty> anyone??? Ubuntu and Radeon x1950PRO???
[04:56] <ardchoille> bandolero: partimage is in the repos
[04:57] <ardchoille> bandolero: It's in universe
[04:57] <ikonia> nakedlefty: whats up
[04:57] <rysiek|pl> guys, maybe a wee bit strange question, but... what is the *easiest* way to make an ad hoc switch/hub from a two-netadapters machine running *ubuntu?
[04:57] <orangefly> can someone tell me why i can access my server by ip address but not the host name....???....
[04:57] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: what you described is not a switch or a hub
[04:58] <rysiek|pl> orangefly: how did you set-up the hostname?
[04:58] <jk_> orangefly: your dns isn't working
[04:58] <Answer> orangefly, you are not on the domain.  set the dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf
[04:58] <ikonia> orangefly: you don't have dns setup
[04:58] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: well, yeah, probably I should call it a gateway
[04:58] <gRaCiOsO> good morning ppl i woud like to know how to change the ethernet's order, i had 3 ethernets card and i remove one from my pc so i have now 2 ones eth0 and eth2 i would like to put eth2 like eth1 how could i do it?
[04:58] <Answer> gRaCiOsO, /etc/iftab
[04:58] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: not really a gateway, what do you wnat to try to do
[04:59] <s0nix> is it "clean" if i install the Ubuntu 7.04 BETA with the live CD now. and upgrade to stable release the 19th ? or i should wait the stable release ?
[04:59] <ikonia> s0nix: my personal belief is that you can't upgrade to a stable version
[05:00] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: the point is, 1. temporarily I need to connect to my LAN another box (running linux); 2. I don't have any switches/hubs available and the one that the LAN is on is all used-up; 3. what I have is a machine with two network cards
[05:00] <pinchmesh> there's new code every day for 7.04... it'll auto update with the little update icon at the top of the screen
[05:00] <jk_> ikonia: that makes sense, really.  no one would expect to upgrade from xp to vista.
[05:00] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: you need a cross over cable
[05:01] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: yeah, I know, and I have one
[05:01] <pinchmesh> ubuntu is way better than xp or vista, so they don't count
[05:01] <ikonia> jk_: I'm not sure of the official response but experience tells me to stand by my stance
[05:01] <rysiek|pl> s0nix: yeah, you can install BETA now and upgrade to stable
[05:01] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: ok - so change the machines to be on the same network
[05:01] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: do you know that for a fact ?
[05:01] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: yeas, I do know that for a fact
[05:01] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: where is that documented ?
[05:01] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: done that with dapper, doing it today with feisty
[05:01] <s0nix> rysiek|pl: but is it cosidered "clean"
[05:01] <nakedlefty> ikonia: want to install some drivers so it works and is recognized by the system, also so i dont get jittery webpage viewing, not to mention soomth video playback once i get to that point
[05:02] <rysiek|pl> s0nix: what do you mean by "clean"
[05:02] <jk_> pinchmesch: right, but conceptually no one would expect that in the windows world but somehow in the linux world continuous upgrades are somehow more expected
[05:02] <ikonia> nakedlefty: have you seen the ati howto ?
[05:02] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: I would ask the other way around: where is it said that you can't
[05:02] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: its not - thats why I said my personal belief and I'm not sure of the official stance
[05:02] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: that's what upgrades are all about, we're not in windoze world now
[05:02] <s0nix> bah, nvm, i will wait the stable release :)
[05:02] <pinchmesh> yeah, it works for me.. so far, no problems here.. i just ran the update manager too
[05:02] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: no its not
[05:03] <ikonia> but its not stable yet - so how can it "work"
[05:03] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: ?
[05:03] <ikonia> (still not marked as stable in the uk)
[05:03] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: question mark to which comment ?
[05:03] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: jeez... what do you mean by "work"? I have got feisty on two boxen and it works
[05:04] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: I didn't say fesity didn't work - I said how can people be saying the upgrade to fesity works as its not marked as stable yet to upgrade to
[05:04] <nakedlefty> ikonia: nope? though noticed that the ati driver package is made for redhat nad suse???
[05:04] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: and I expect to aptitude upgrade (NOT dist-upgrade, mind you) to stable when it comes out
[05:04] <ikonia> !ati >nakedlefty
[05:04] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: I think you're confusing two upgrades
[05:04] <ikonia> nakedlefty: check the pm that ubotu sent you
[05:04] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: 1. edgy -> feisty
[05:04] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: 2. feisty BETA -> feisty STABLE
[05:05] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: no I'm not. Upgrading from the beta product to the stable package
[05:05] <pinchmesh> http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu.html
[05:05] <Rincewind> hello
[05:05] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: 1. needs additional tools (Upgrade Manager for one) and is - IMHO - a wee bit o'hack - but it worked for me 3 times by now
[05:05] <nakedlefty> ikonia: and ubotu thanks - probably will be back in a little while with more questions :)
[05:05] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: what if a glibc bug was found and a slight upgrade had to happen between beta and stable - but glibc is that core that it breaks everything - how would that upgrade go ?
[05:06] <Rincewind> I have a problem, when I plug usb devices in, they don't show up in ubuntu anymore
[05:06] <ikonia> nakedlefty: no problem, let me know how it goes if you want help with specific questions
[05:06] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: that problem might come out also when feisty would be stable
[05:06] <ikonia> Rincewind: have a look in the syslog and see if they are being detected
[05:06] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: a bug can be discovered anytime
[05:06] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: no - as it would be stable
[05:06] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: d'oh... so let me get this straight:
[05:06] <Smerity> Rincewind, no clue who you are or what your problem is, except to say - cool name =]
[05:07] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: apologies but I'm losing interest
[05:07] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: when you see something marked as "stable" you are 100% certain there cannot be any bugs in it?
[05:07] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: no thats not what I said
[05:07] <Rincewind> ikonia: where do I find the syslog?
[05:07] <ikonia> Rincewind: /var/log
[05:07] <Rincewind> I have ubuntu edgy
[05:07] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: so why it would be impossible to find a bug in glibc in feisty when it would be marked as stable
[05:08] <rysiek|pl> Rincewind: or type dmesg in console
[05:08] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: I didn't say it was impossible, I was trying to give a realistic example though.
[05:08] <jk_> pinchmesch: thanks for the onlyubuntu link.
[05:09] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: point is: bugs can be discovered anytime. but that is no argument against that it would be possible to do a BETA -> STABLE upgrade
[05:09] <ryanakca> how do I install flash 9 on an amd64? I've read a pile of blog entries on people who've done it, but it never says /how/
[05:09] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: I disagree, but we should perhaps not be dicsussing this in here
[05:09] <rysiek|pl> ryanakca: you need ia32libs and firefox 32bit
[05:09] <ikonia> ryanakca: flash is not supported on amd64  - it needs to be installed in a 32bit chroot or using compatability libraries on a multi-lib setup
[05:09] <rysiek|pl> ryanakca: then just d/l flash9 package from adobe (as tar.gz), untar it and copy the xpi and so to ~/.mozilla/plugins
[05:10] <bef> off topic question: anybody know how to make an ftp page public ie: ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>
[05:10] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: as thou wisheth ;)
[05:10] <jk_> pinchmesch: upgrading ubuntu to version 7.04 ... fetching file 1 of 1184 ! :)
[05:10] <Answer> bef, do you have a public ip address?
[05:10] <ikonia> bef ftp is a protocol - not a page
[05:10] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: back to the LAN-thing - so just having both machines in the same network (say 192.168.0.X) would do?
[05:10] <bef> Answer: yes.
[05:10] <ikonia> bef: join #ubuntu-offtopic and people can discuss it
[05:11] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: yes, that would wor spot on
[05:11] <Answer> bef, is your computer on that public ip and running an ftp server?
[05:11] <ivanneto> I'm connected to a remote system through ssh. How can I know if the remote system is Debian or Ubuntu?
[05:11] <ikonia> work
[05:11] <ikonia> ivanneto: lsb_release -i
[05:11] <bef> Answer: the ftp server is on the other side of the world.
[05:11] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: m'kay, trying
[05:11] <Answer> ivanneto:  locate ubuntu     should show the splashscreen and other files
[05:11] <Rincewind> ikonia: can please have a look here: http://rafb.net/p/d4WnyL28.html
[05:11] <ryanakca> Ok, ia32-libs is already the newest version. for 32 bit firefox, get the 32bit package off packages.ubuntu.com and dpkg -i --force-architecture firefox-32bit.deb ?
[05:11] <ryanakca> rysiek|pl: ^^
[05:11] <ikonia> Rincewind: yes they are being detected as scsi disks
[05:12] <Rincewind> It seems to me that they are recognised.
[05:12] <Rincewind> but not mounted
[05:12] <rysiek|pl> ryanakca: aye?
[05:12] <ikonia> Rincewind: yes - thats correct
[05:12] <victor__> Hello all my 1st time here from south africa running 6.10
[05:12] <ikonia> Rincewind: you could attempt to mount them manually "man mount" to see how the mount command works
[05:12] <ivanneto> ikonia: thanks, but lsb_release is no installed ("-bash: lsb_release: command not found").
[05:12] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: I understand that both ifaces on the to-be-switch have to have the same address?
[05:12] <ryanakca> rysiek|pl: kk
[05:12] <bandolero> clear
[05:12] <ivanneto> ikonia: not installed.
[05:12] <ryanakca> rysiek|pl: I just wasn't sure about the dpkg command
[05:12] <ikonia> ivanneto: then its probably debian
[05:13] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: thats how I understand it too
[05:13] <rysiek|pl> ryanakca: dpkg -i is what is actually being called (well, sort of) by apt when installing software from repos
[05:13] <ivanneto> Answer: thanks!
[05:13] <Merijn> booting my server from ubuntu 6.10 iso freshly burned
[05:13] <Merijn> let's see if I can get this to work
[05:13] <rysiek|pl> ryanakca: you can't get 32bit Ff from repos, though, so you have to download it by hand and install it by hand
[05:13] <ivanneto> ikonia: Yes, I think so. Thanks!
[05:13] <rysiek|pl> ryanakca: got it working that way on my friend's box
[05:13] <ryanakca> rysiek|pl: yup. I know, I taught the class in #ubuntu-classroom about apt a while back :)
[05:14] <ryanakca> kk, will do :)
[05:14] <Merijn> oh wait, better hook up a keyboard >_>
[05:14] <ikonia> Merijn: we don't need a commentary
[05:14] <Merijn> but it's exciting to me :/
[05:14] <Tom47> !codec
[05:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:14] <ryanakca> rysiek|pl: off packages.ubuntu.com, 32 bit? or compile from source?
[05:14] <ikonia> Merijn: but the channel is very busy and your wasting text

[05:15] <Merijn> I'd make a comment on being short on text but nvm
[05:15] <Rincewind> ikonia: I am not a native english speaker and don't understand the man page. Can you tell me what the mount command would be for me?
[05:16] <ikonia> Rincewind: you can install ubuntu in your native language
[05:16] <oyvind> I need some help configuring grub with dualboot, when the XP partition is on its own disk.. cant seem to find a bootline anywhere..
[05:16] <kkerwin> Eagleray: Hey, are you still around?
[05:16] <Toma-> whats the best way to test a parallel port gamepad? i cant get it working :/
[05:16] <oldude67> good morning
[05:17] <ikonia> Toma-: thats an obscure one
[05:17] <oyvind> anyone know a good way to make dualboot work?

[05:17] <rysiek|pl> re
[05:17] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: well, it did not work :)
[05:17] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: but thanks anyways
[05:18] <seravitae> hm, are there any web page designers for linux?
[05:18] <seravitae> something WYSIWYG
[05:18] <seravitae> just for simple pages.
[05:18] <Toma-> ikonia: no, its a homemade SNES --> PPort mod... need to test the values coming from the pport
[05:18] <rysiek|pl> seravitae: Quanta+
[05:18] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: thats very stange. If both are on the same network, and your using a cross over cable and they both have a default route of the nic - it should not be a problem
[05:18] <oyvind> not using powerpc, but thanx
[05:18] <kkerwin> Hi. I was talking with Eagleray earlier about a problem with a /usr partition that was mounted readonly. He said to try to mount it elsewhere. I remember something about a "mount -o" and so forth, but can't remember everything. Can someone shed some light?
[05:18] <Reverend> seravitae: www.linuxeq.com
[05:18] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: I'll check with a different cable, maybe it was b0rked
[05:18] <seravitae> rysiek|pl: thanks but i use gnome
[05:18] <Reverend> seravitae: shows equivalent programs
[05:18] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: I'd be surprised if it wasn't as it should be a simple setup
[05:19] <Rincewind> ikonia: that doesn't help me with the man page, it is still in english
[05:19] <seravitae> Reverend: thanks, that site rocks.
[05:19] <rysiek|pl> seravitae: there was a good one, but I don't recall the name
[05:19] <rysiek|pl> seravitae: something starting with 'B' :)
[05:19] <ikonia> Rincewind: I was suggedting that you may want to install in your native language to stop that problem
[05:19] <Reverend> How do I register to FreeNode?
[05:20] <ikonia> Rincewind: there is also #ubuntu-de to assist in your native language
[05:20] <Rincewind> I have ubuntu in my native language
[05:20] <ikonia> Rincewind: ahhh great, so if you read the man pages in your native language should be fine
[05:20] <Rincewind> not all man pages are translated yet. the man page for mount is in english
[05:21] <rysiek|pl> brb
[05:21] <Rincewind> is it correct that I can only mount devices that show up in my /mtab ?
[05:21] <ikonia> Rincewind: no thats not correct
[05:21] <seravitae> rysiek|pl: bluefish?
[05:21] <Rincewind> I tried mount sda and mount sda1 but that didn't work
[05:22] <Phrozen_One> in regards to the ati restricted driver, and resolution, is it possible to "force" the native 1280x1024
[05:22] <rysiek|pl> seravitae: aye, that's it
[05:22] <oyvind> i want to install dualboot with windows as the slave drive
[05:22] <ikonia> Rincewind: you need a mount point
[05:23] <ikonia> mount /dev/sda1 doesn't tell it where to mount /dev/sda1
[05:23] <oyvind> i need a bootline to use with grub, i remember finding it once, but i cant seem to find it this time
[05:23] <ikonia> oyvind: boot line for what ?
[05:23] <oyvind> ikonia: dualboot with grub, having windosXP on the slave drive
[05:23] <oyvind> hdb1
[05:24] <Merijn> during setup, what is 'erase entire disk and use LVM' compared to 'erase entire disk' ?
[05:24] <ikonia> oyvind: you want the chain loader option
[05:24] <selfsearcher> i have a problem: if i exit X (session) my monitor goes in "no signal" then it freezes, it seems...
[05:24] <ikonia> Merijn: its use lvm to manage your didks
[05:24] <ikonia> disks
[05:24] <Merijn> do I need that?
[05:24] <selfsearcher> i use fglrx
[05:24] <oyvind> ikonia: thanx
[05:25] <ikonia> Merijn: I'd advise against it if you don't know what it is
[05:25] <Merijn> ok
[05:25] <ikonia> selfsearcher: there is a list as long as my arm of problems with ati drivers
[05:26] <selfsearcher> ikonia: yes but are you sure it's a driver problem? Hmm... in VESA it worked... maybe
[05:26] <Merijn> what remote admin tool can I use with Ubuntu to admin it from a windows box?
[05:27] <tore_> im following this tutorial for wow on linux http://russellthedigitalninja.com/wordpress/?p=9
[05:27] <ikonia> selfsearcher: if it worked in vesa - but not in flrgx then it looks like a driver issue
[05:27] <Rincewind> ikonia: I get this message: mount: special device sda1 does not exist
[05:27] <poningru> Merijn: you can use many things
[05:27] <Jani> tore_, ty for tuto ^
[05:28] <selfsearcher> ikonia: thanks. At least it "works" in X ... sad.
[05:28] <poningru> you can use ssh+putty for command line
[05:28] <tore_> but on the first command i get invalid option -- O
[05:28] <Merijn> for gui, which free options are there?
[05:28] <poningru> or remote desktop for gui
[05:28] <Merijn> what, I can use terminal services? :D
[05:28] <poningru> terminal services?
[05:28] <selfsearcher> Merijn: afaik yes

[05:32] <poningru> Bjweb1: oh...

[05:45] <Merijn> I'm typing sudo apt-get install proftpd
[05:46] <Merijn> is that in the wiki?
[05:46] <ikonia> kingcobra: once you change the permissions it should stay

[05:47] <KDan> what's the easiest way to create an open samba share that doesn't ask for a password, from ubuntu? I tried using "Shared Folders" under Applications>System but it asks for a password when logging in from the windows box and doesn't provide an option to set the password...
[05:48] <stone123> !universe | Merijn see info from ubotu
[05:48] <ubotu> Merijn see info from ubotu: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[05:48] <ikonia> KDan: users anonymous
[05:48] <hook> the problem is steeming from using backuppc when I start backup it says no ping response
[05:48] <KDan> ikonia: in the samba conf rather than through gui then?
[05:48] <sipher> Anyone know a command line tool to handle rtmp streams? Been looking for ages
[05:48] <kingcobra> ikonia, are you sure that fsatb wont mount the file systems with root as owner
[05:48] <kingcobra> *fstab
[05:48] <ikonia> kingcobra: which file system is it
[05:48] <ikonia> kingcobra: I told you fstab doesn't set the file system ownership

[05:49] <hook> Totally under stand now .... Thanks guys
[05:50] <KDan> preaction: ah, interesting
[05:50] <mewt> !info beryl
[05:50] <KDan> yep that worked. Thanks preaction!
[05:50] <ubotu> Package beryl does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[05:50] <KDan> (and thanks #ubuntu)
[05:50] <preaction> KDan: interestingly enough, i always run into that problem and imho it should be a part of the standard ubuntu password system. perhaps we should file a bug w/ launchpad
[05:51] <kingcobra> ikonia, not sure how to chown, can you explain
[05:51] <ikonia> kingcobra: type "man chown" and that will explain the chown command and how its used
[05:51] <kingcobra> ikonia, chown /media/external kingcobra?
[05:51] <KDan> preaction: personally, I've used linux sporadically for the last 10 years, and it's a bit puzzling that I still struggle with samba, even though it's such an old technology! I would have expected there to be a kickass gui tool by now...
[05:51] <kingcobra> ikonia, i did
[05:51] <mewt> how do i find out what graphic drivers i really have installed ?
[05:52] <ikonia> kingcobra: did you ? that man page has all the arguments and flags you need
[05:52] <Merijn> I enabled the universe repository but 'apt-cache search proftp' still gives me nothing - where is proftpd?
[05:52] <kingcobra> man page isnt great
[05:52] <ikonia> Merijn: you need to do apt-get update first
[05:52] <ikonia> kingcobra: its a good one
[05:52] <mewt> Merijn, apt-get update
[05:52] <kingcobra> i just cant understand it then
[05:52] <dirk_> kjdsf
[05:52] <ikonia> kingcobra: what part is not clear
[05:52] <Merijn> thanks, it's working
[05:52] <preaction> KDan: imho, the linux administrator's gui tools have only started to be developed in the last few years
[05:53] <kingcobra> what will chown file do on its own
[05:53] <kingcobra> ikonia,
[05:53] <ikonia> kingcobra: no that won't work
[05:53] <Gremlinekdance> hello
[05:53] <stone123> kingcobra, chown --help has some examples
[05:54] <ikonia> stone123: there is examples in the man pages
[05:54] <ikonia> he's not read it
[05:54] <ikonia> as he responded 20 seconds after being told the command that he'd read the man page
[05:54] <mewt> why doesnt anyone ever answer my questions :(
[05:54] <Gremlinekdance> hi everybody
[05:54] <KDan> preaction: shame. I tell my Dad he should use linux, and one of the first things he tries to do is share data... smbmount works relatively cleanly, but sharing the other way always seems to screw up
[05:54] <sayers> Does ubuntu make a good server?
[05:54] <ikonia> mewt: whats your question
[05:54] <ikonia> sayers: thats personal opinion
[05:54] <BrianBoyko> Hi.  I have an unusual dual-core question.  I had an Ubuntu System on a single-core processor.  I upgraded to a dual-core system recently and while Linux is clearly using both cores, I'm not 100% sure it's using them effectively.  I set it up on encoding an Xvid to DVD, and while it used both cores, it only used them to about 50% total capacity - and when one core slacked off the other picked up and vice versa.  My CPU graph looks like a symmetrical se
[05:54] <KDan> ikonia: he's asking about Beryl
[05:55] <mewt> ikonia, thanks, how do i know exactly what version of nvidia drivers i have installed ?
[05:55] <ikonia> ughhh
[05:55] <ikonia> mewt: look in synaptic
[05:55] <sayers> ikonia: well statistically is it good?
[05:55] <Gremlinekdance> Ktos z polski?
[05:55] <ikonia> sayers: there are no stats
[05:55] <ompaul> sayers, I use it and I am happy
[05:55] <ikonia> !pl >germlinekdance
[05:55] <Crane> kingcobra: http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/UserInfo/Resources/Hardware/IBMp690/IBM/usr/share/man/info/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds1/chown.htm
[05:55] <mewt> I installed them manually, so they should be 9755
[05:55] <jpjacobs> sayers, it's as goos as you configure it ;)
[05:55] <Gremlinekdance> ikonia, jestes z polski? :)
[05:55] <ikonia> mewt: then you should know
[05:55] <mewt> but im having massive performance probs
[05:55] <mewt> with beryl
[05:55] <mjr> BrianBoyko, encoding programs often use only a single process (or thread) by default, in which case the OS itself can't do much to parallelize it
[05:56] <ikonia> mewt: you;ve broken the ubuntu dependency tree - if your having problems with the driver join #nvidia
[05:56] <mewt> jerking mouse and seemingly a lot of cpu usage
[05:56] <ompaul> Gremlinekdance, please go to #ubuntu-pl this is an english language channel
[05:56] <mjr> BrianBoyko, depending on your program, you may be able to tell it to use multiple processes
[05:56] <Gremlinekdance> pff
[05:56] <ikonia> mewt: you've done your own thing - ubuntu won't support the none repo packaged drivers
[05:56] <BrianBoyko> Ah.  MJR: That explains it.  I'm using DeVeDe.
[05:56] <t94xr> question? how do i fix the gnome networking issue? :S
[05:56] <ikonia> t94xr: that issues
[05:56] <ikonia> what
[05:56] <KDan> preaction: anyway, thanks for the help. worked well :-)
[05:56] <mewt> ikonia, mmk thanks
[05:57] <t94xr> i try and go into WORKGROUP and it comes up with the fact that it cant find the workgroup computers??
[05:57] <ikonia> t94xr: have you configured ubuntu to participate in that work group ?
[05:57] <ikonia> t94xr: are all the other computers broadcasting ?
[05:57] <t94xr> yes i have samba running two shares
[05:57] <test> test
[05:57] <t94xr> yes
[05:57] <mjr> BrianBoyko, well, I don't know about that. One thing you can at least do is if you've got a lot to convert, just start two devedes at once ;)
[05:57] <t94xr> i cant access the whole network thru my xp machine
[05:58] <t94xr> i can access even my shares
[05:58] <t94xr> but
[05:58] <Merijn> proftpd won't start for some reason, where can O find the config file?
[05:58] <Merijn> O=I
[05:58] <Kuutio> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ticket/4824
[05:58] <ikonia> Merijn: the wiki page your reading should walk you through it
[05:58] <t94xr> I cant get the network thru the ubuntu laptop (this system)
[05:58] <ikonia> t94xr: sounds very unusual
[05:59] <roadfish> I installed the wordnet package and dictd but can't install dict-wn. How can I get dictd to server up wordnet pages? Why does dictd suggest dict-wn but apt-get says there is no installation candidate?
[05:59] <coffeemonster> hey folks
[05:59] <t94xr> yeah, I go thru Network places and it can see workgroup but no computers
[05:59] <ikonia> hello
[05:59] <coffeemonster> how can i get transparent/translucent windows in gnome?

[06:00] <coffeemonster> such as i have terminal open, but i can see whats behind it
[06:00] <ikonia> kingcobra: is it mounted read only ?
[06:01] <kingcobra> ikonia, i dont think so, not with -o ro anyway
[06:01] <freemind> hello, I've added a script called "tcbootscreen" to my runlevel 2, but the "read" from script is totally ignored, should wait until he got the password from user, but script is fully executed without any input? How to fix this boot issue?
[06:01] <coffeemonster> do i need t odownload a program to make it happen?
[06:01] <Merijn> how do I start a service?
[06:01] <ikonia> kingcobra: type mount and take a look
[06:01] <ikonia> Merijn: it tells you in the wiki page
[06:01] <deepsa> Merijn, /etc/init.d/<service name> start
[06:01] <hammedhaaret> Hi.... can anyone help me with a problem i got installing ubuntu, please
[06:01] <kingcobra> ikonia, /dev/sda3 on /media/external type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000,utf8)
[06:01] <Merijn> ikonia > I must be on the wrong damn wiki page then
[06:02] <deepsa> hammedhaaret, sure tell us the problem
[06:02] <ikonia> kingcobra: do sudo -i
[06:02] <ikonia> then try the chown command
[06:02] <hammedhaaret> it boots fine on the cd and i get the menu with
[06:02] <kevinh90> does anyone here have experience with ATI rage cards(mach64)
[06:02] <hammedhaaret> install/start ubuntu
[06:02] <kingcobra> sudo -i on chown or mount
[06:03] <hammedhaaret> but when i press it and after it loads for a while my screen says "Warning! out of range"
[06:03] <Merijn> ikonia > please give me the wiki page on configuring proftpd since I seem to be on the wrong one
[06:03] <kingcobra> ikonia, sudo chown -i kingcobra /media/external?
[06:03] <deepsa> hammedhaaret, what out of range?
[06:03] <blippe> kingcobra: after a sudo -i ju get a new terminal, and you are able to runa any of those commands
[06:03] <Crane> kingcobra: just enter sudo -i
[06:04] <Crane> hit enter
[06:04] <ikonia> kingcobra: no sudo -i
[06:04] <ikonia> then when you enter your password the chown command
[06:04] <hammedhaaret> dunno... tried the vga option... nothing.   safty mode... nothing too
[06:04] <flyingrabbit> I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, but i can only get external displays to work outside of text mode
[06:04] <Rincewind_> ikonia: manually umounting sda1 and sdb1 did the trick for me. It is now working again (and hopefully after the next reboot, too). Thanks for your help!
[06:04] <ompaul> hammedhaaret, leave it there for a moment it may rectify itself, if not CTRL ALT F1 and log in and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:04] <ikonia> Rincewind_: your welcome, and well done
[06:04] <deepsa> hammedhaaret, oh i see. i can't help then
[06:04] <kingcobra> blippe, Crane thanks
[06:04] <deep> Anyway to rename a bunch of files to itself+.mp3 easily?
[06:04] <preaction> flyingrabbit: you mean you can only get external monitors to work in X? that's to be expected, since only X knows enough to use external monitors
[06:04] <hammedhaaret> ook... thx anyway
[06:05] <deep> like mv files* <itself>.mp3 ?
[06:05] <ompaul> hammedhaaret, for install ahh that add this to the startup line: vga=771
[06:05] <kevinh90> does anyone here have experience with compiling DRI kernel modules?
[06:05] <flyingrabbit> preaction: should i use a lower version?
[06:05] <kingcobra> root@sempron:~# chown kingcobra /media/external
[06:05] <kingcobra> chown: changing ownership of `/media/external': Operation not permitted
[06:05] <kingcobra> ikonia, any ideas
[06:05] <ikonia> kingcobra: ahhhhhh
[06:05] <ikonia> kingcobra: vfat doesn't support permissions
[06:06] <ikonia> (I don't think)
[06:06] <ikonia> sorry took me a second to click on that
[06:06] <preaction> flyingrabbit: a lower version? what do you mean?

[06:06] <kingcobra> ikonia, so how do i make myself the owner rather than root
[06:06] <stone123> kingcobra, you need to unmask it  its like inverted chmod
[06:07] <ikonia> kingcobra: you don't - if I remember correctly
[06:07] <hammedhaaret> ompaul, which startupline exactly
[06:07] <kevinh90> hm i wonder if that will work for me
[06:07] <ikonia> stone123: does vfat support permissions ?
[06:07] <BrazUbuntu> hey lads, got a .iso with some Lessons, already mounted it and it needs no instalation, but it's a .exe file....how can i run it ? Wine was no good...
[06:07] <kevinh90> !mach64 | kevinh90
[06:07] <kevinh90> :(
[06:07] <stone123> ikonia, i think so
[06:07] <ompaul> hammedhaaret, there is an edit options (F6 iirc) and add it there
[06:08] <aubade> deep: Are you asking how to rename 'em by your own pattern or using Vorbis/ID* tags?
[06:08] <stone123> not 100 % on that one
[06:08] <hammedhaaret> ok
[06:08] <ikonia> stone123: me neither - I thought it didn't support it
[06:08] <hammedhaaret> ill try... thx!
[06:08] <ikonia> but like you not %100
[06:08] <flyingrabbit> preaction: thank you, I'll look through this, you think ill be able to find a way to get my default screen to work there?
[06:08] <kingcobra> BrazUbuntu, its probably a windows disk youre tryin to use in linux
[06:09] <kingcobra> use it in win32 instead
[06:09] <noteventime> 'ello
[06:09] <deep> aubade: just rename the files to itself + ".mp3"
[06:09] <deep> (:
[06:09] <BrazUbuntu> kingcobra, yeah, the lessons are a windows executable
[06:09] <stone123> ikonia, but i do rembember unmask and that it is like inverted chmod 777=000
[06:09] <preaction> flyingrabbit: no, because you have not been listening. I do not know of any situation where you can use an external, additional monitor outside of X
[06:09] <noteventime> Has anyone else had the problem with the copy and cut commands not working in evolution?
[06:09] <ikonia> stone123: yeah, umask is fine  - however I don't know that it will do anything without permissions support
[06:09] <ikonia> hence why I asked
[06:10] <ikonia> as I'm not %100 certain
[06:10] <aubade> deep: Do they have any extension already? lol
[06:10] <kingcobra> ikonia, em do you know how to make myself the owner rather than root
[06:10] <deep> aubade: no ^^ That's what i am trying to fix (:
[06:10] <ikonia> kingcobra: I've said 3 times - I'm not sure vfat supports permissions
[06:10] <kingcobra> BrazUbuntu, have you got windows
[06:10] <ikonia> kingcobra: why do you want to be the owner - is it causing you problems ?
[06:10] <tombomb318> how can I get wireless internet with my ibook g4
[06:10] <BrazUbuntu> kingcobra, yeah dual partition, XP and Ubuntu
[06:11] <kingcobra> ikonia, yes i cant eject it
[06:11] <ikonia> kingcobra: eject it ?
[06:11] <deep> aubade: nm (: fixed it
[06:11] <ikonia> kingcobra: is it a cdrom ?
[06:11] <hovinen> What package do I install under Edgy to get mint (the Mono interpreter)? It used to be mono-mint, but that package doesn't exist any more.
[06:11] <Merijn> which chmod parameter makes a folder world-readable?
[06:11] <Merijn> 755?
[06:11] <OwlEye> usually, there are lots of messages scrolling by during boot that can be reviewed in /var/log/dmesg later. ubuntu has a feature where it only shows a summary in a graphical box of these status messages. does anybody know how that feature is called?
[06:11] <kingcobra> unmount it then, its a usb hd
[06:11] <ikonia> Merijn: XX7
[06:11] <kingcobra> ikonia,
[06:12] <ikonia> Merijn: XX4 sorr
[06:12] <tombomb318> how can I get wireless internet with my ibook g4 Airport Card
[06:12] <noteventime> Does ubuntu ship with something similar to KDEs klipper applet?
[06:12] <ikonia> kingcobra: if you can mount it or not is nothing to do with permissions on the file system
[06:12] <ikonia> kingcobra: just do "sudo umount"
[06:12] <Merijn> oh
[06:12] <Merijn> so how do I just add the world-readable property?
[06:12] <kevinh90> /home/kevin/Desktop/mach64-20060403-linux.i386/drm/linux-core/drmP.h:44:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory

[06:13] <Merijn> how do I do that?
[06:13] <kevinh90> i get that error in my dri.log when compiling the mach64 module
[06:13] <kingcobra> ikonia, i want to be able to do it in gui
[06:13] <kingcobra> ikonia, right click eject
[06:13] <ikonia> kingcobra: sheesh - gksu then
[06:13] <Merijn> I just see drwxr-xr-x
[06:13] <ikonia> kingcobra: change the mount options to user in fstab
[06:13] <tombomb318> How can i get my Airport wireless card to work on the ibook g4 please help me
[06:13] <ikonia> Merijn: chmod 754
[06:13] <jpjacobs> !repeat>tombomb318
[06:14] <kevinh90> the install script just stops and says look at the log and to make sure i have the latest kernel modules
[06:14] <Merijn> thanks
[06:14] <ikonia> kevinh90: your missing the headers - or they are incompatabilie with your kernel headers
[06:14] <rob_7> I had a windows xp computer that I installed a second hard drive and loaded ubuntu on it. I mounted my windows drive as read only but something happened.....power surge maybe? it was on a weekend and I wasnt around, when I came back it was off.....when I rebooted ubuntu loads fine but the windows drive is empty. is there any way to recover the drive in ubuntu?
[06:14] <kingcobra> ikonia, i have user in fstab
[06:14] <kevinh90> ikonia: how do i fix that?
[06:14] <kingcobra> ikonia, should it be kingcobra
[06:14] <ikonia> kingcobra: no
[06:14] <hovinen> What package do I install under Edgy to get mint (the Mono interpreter)? It used to be mono-mint, but that package doesn't exist any more.
[06:15] <ikonia> kingcobra: show me your fstab please in a pastebin
[06:15] <ikonia> kevinh90: install the headers
[06:15] <xtknight> kevinh90, sudo apt-get install linux-headers
[06:15] <xtknight> !find mono
[06:15] <BrazUbuntu> rob_7, it's isn't just unmounted ?
[06:15] <ubotu> Found: kde-icons-mono, monodoc, monodoc-base, monodoc-browser, monodoc-manual (and 97 others)
[06:15] <kingcobra> ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14732/
[06:15] <kitche> hovinen: don't know what you mean by mint but why not just install mono?
[06:15] <xtknight> hovinen, search for mono in synaptic
[06:16] <rob_7> no its not unmounted........it shows 60gb free space...........empty
[06:16] <hovinen> kitche, I *have* mono installed. But the packages do not come with mint. It's required for something I'm trying to compile.
[06:16] <mcscruff> lo all, anyone managed to get metisse working in gnome?
[06:16] <ikonia> kingcobra: that should work with "user" option
[06:16] <xtknight> kingcobra, having trouble using Eject under GNOME?
[06:16] <Answer> How do I export the display from my laptop to an external monitor?
[06:16] <hovinen> xtknight, I've installed every mono package I can find and it's still not there.
[06:16] <tombomb318> Does anyone know how to get airport card to work On the ibook g4?
[06:16] <xtknight> hovinen, what are you looking for?
[06:16] <ikonia> kingcobra: but you don't use "eject" on usb devices - only cdroms
[06:16] <kingcobra> xtknight, yes
[06:16] <xtknight> hovinen, an application that can run a mono program?
[06:16] <xtknight> kingcobra, type "eject /device" (no sudo).  what happens?
[06:16] <stone123> !twinview > Answer
[06:17] <xtknight> sure you can use eject on usb
[06:17] <xtknight> to wipe buffer and ready it for use
[06:17] <kevinh90> xtknight/ikonia linux-headers is a virtual package(i added -2.6.20-14-generic to the end of it and it was already installed
[06:17] <kingcobra> ikonia, in gnome you do i think
[06:17] <hovinen> xtknight, I'm looking for a specific program: mint. The program I'm trying to compile fails at configure complaining that it can't find mint.
[06:17] <xtknight> kevinh90, ok so whta is the error reported?
[06:17] <ikonia> kevinh90: are you uinsg fesity
[06:17] <kevinh90> /home/kevin/Desktop/mach64-20060403-linux.i386/drm/linux-core/drmP.h:44:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory
[06:17] <ikonia> kingcobra: pardon ?
[06:17] <xtknight> hovinen, sudo apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`
[06:17] <xtknight> hovinen, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[06:17] <kevinh90> ikonia: yes, but I got exactly the same error on edgy, and dapper
[06:17] <xtknight> that too
[06:18] <kingcobra> xtknight, umount: only root can unmount /dev/sda3 from /media/external
[06:18] <xtknight> hovinen, was mint ever in the reopsitories?
[06:18] <ikonia> kevinh90: yes - the error will be the same if you have no headers, but the packages changed in fesity
[06:18] <xtknight> kingcobra, cat /etc/fstab | grep /dev/sda3  please
[06:18] <BrazUbuntu> rob_7, type "fdisk -l" check if it's mounting correctly....don't know, just guessing
 kingcobra: but you don't use "eject" on usb devices - only cdroms
[06:18] <hovinen> xtknight, It was in a previous version of Ubuntu.
[06:18] <kevinh90> i believe i have the headers(they are in /usr/src/
[06:18] <xtknight> hovinen, you in feisty now?
 ikonia, in gnome you do i think
[06:18] <ikonia> in gnome you do I think ????
[06:18] <ikonia> I don't understand
[06:18] <hovinen> xtknight, No. Edgy
[06:19] <xtknight> ikonia, in GNOME you eject a USB drive to write the buffer to disk
[06:19] <kingcobra> ikonia, you do use eject i think
[06:19] <ikonia> xtknight: ahhhhh
[06:19] <ikonia> xtknight: thank you
[06:19] <xtknight> !info mint dapper
[06:19] <ubotu> Package mint does not exist in dapper

[06:19] <roadfish> do other people get "no installation candidate" if they attempt "apt-get install dict-wn"?
[06:19] <kevinh90> does anyone know what I can do?
[06:19] <xtknight> kevinh90, i suggested installing two packages above.  did they work?
[06:19] <ikonia> roadfish: the package doesn't exist
[06:19] <xtknight> kingcobra, ` cat /etc/fstab | grep /dev/sda3 ` please

[06:20] <xtknight> roadfish, i get that also.  what lanaguage is wn?
[06:20] <kevinh90> xtknight: the headers? already installed
[06:20] <xtknight> kingcobra, sudo eject /media/external
[06:20] <xtknight> kingcobra, what happens ^ ?
[06:20] <xtknight> kevinh90, no source and build-essential
[06:21] <kitche> hovinen: The mono-mint (the interpeter) is deprecated, unmaintained upstream

[06:21] <xtknight> kevinh90, sudo apt-get install linux-source-$(uname -r) build-essential
[06:21] <kingcobra> xtknight, it works
[06:21] <xtknight> kingcobra, ok now "sudo mount /media/external"
[06:21] <xtknight> and errors or warnings at all?
[06:21] <xtknight> any*
[06:21] <roadfish> ikonia: why would dictd recommend dict-wn if it doesn't exist? I'm new to Ubuntu but had been using dict-wn in the past (on a Knoppix harddrive install).
[06:21] <ikonia> roadfish: perhaps the package is not finished
[06:21] <ikonia> or no-one has packaged it
[06:21] <xtknight> roadfish, what are you trying to install (also what language is wn)?
[06:22] <xtknight> usually it means the package does not exist, it's virtual or not in your architecture/distro
[06:22] <xtknight> it does exist somewhere, though
[06:22] <hovinen> kitche, So...why does the absolute latest version of monodevelop fail at configure when it's not present?
[06:22] <xtknight> hovinen, please paste the entire pastebin of ./configure
[06:22] <roadfish> dict-wn is the English-language WordNet dictionary data that has been formatted to operation with the dictd daemon.
[06:22] <kingcobra> xtknight, it mounts with me as owner
[06:22] <sayers> With the built in Desktop Effects the cube thing doesnt work anymore?
[06:22] <kevinh90> couldnt find package linux-source-2.6.20-14-generic
