[05:05] <Absenth> I know it's every 6 months, but I don't remember when Breezy went live.
[05:05] <gnomefreak> seicherlbob: it could be a problem but i dont know i have never enabled su
[05:06] <gnomefreak> Absenth: april 20th
[05:06] <Absenth> gnomefreak, danke.
[05:06] <erus`> gnomefreak, gcc_select: command not found
[05:06] <erus`>  still :|
[05:06] <geniusvicks> I downloaded LIRC now if I type ./setup.sh I get dialog not found
[05:06] <gnomefreak> Absenth: april and oct are the release months
[05:06] <geniusvicks> What should I do
[05:06] <seicherlbob> gnomefreak: well, enabling su means setting a clear password. thats the only difference, or am i wrong?
[05:06] <sgtbaker> meine popo ist sehr smutzig
[05:06] <gnomefreak> erus`: its not a package with is the package name?
[05:07] <[-DevinE-] > how do i install a .bin file ?
[05:07] <gnomefreak> seicherlbob: ive seen alot of people mess up their sudo by enabling su but i dont use su ever for a good reason to :)
[05:07] <erus`> gnomefreak, sorry, i dont understand...
[05:07] <_jason> [-DevinE-] : you generally run them.  What are you trying to install?
[05:07] <erus`> oh theres no gcc_select package no
[05:07] <[-DevinE-] > a game
[05:08] <gnomefreak> erus`: if you do apt-cahce search gcc_select it is not a package
[05:08] <gnomefreak> cache*
[05:08] <erus`> kk i try that
[05:08] <[-DevinE-] > its opens it by test editor
[05:08] <_jason> [-DevinE-] : have you checked the repos first?
[05:08] <gnomefreak> erus`: so im not sure what package you are looking for or what you need it to do
[05:08] <[-DevinE-] > that what ?
[05:08] <erus`> gcc_select changes the compielr
[05:09] <erus`> to different versions of gcc like 3.3 3.4 etc
[05:09] <gnomefreak> erus`: you mean from gcc3.4 to gcc4.0?
[05:09] <_jason> [-DevinE-] : the repositories.  Did you search in synaptic?
[05:09] <gnomefreak> erus`: ther eis a command to do that
[05:09] <erus`> i have 4.0 but i need to use 3.3
[05:09] <gnomefreak> erus`: you installed 3.3 already?
[05:09] <gnomefreak> or whatever one you need
[05:09] <seicherlbob> gnomefreak: when i'm member of group admin... will this cause sudo to become useless?
[05:09] <erus`> yep
[05:10] <[-DevinE-] > _jason:.: i went 2 happypenguin.com and i found a cool game and i got a torrent file... and when it ended i got a .bin file (must be the install)
[05:10] <gnomefreak> erus`: someone else may give you right command but its something like exportcc>3.3 or something like that
[05:10] <erus`> ok ty
[05:10] <_jason> [-DevinE-] : if you trust the file, just make it executable (chmod +x file) and then run it (./file).  You have to be in the directory whre the file is though
[05:11] <gnomefreak> not sure on that what group is sudo in?
[05:11] <sanitarium> how do i update ubuntu ?
[05:11] <sanitarium> apt-get update?
[05:11] <gnomefreak> sanitarium: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:11] <sanitarium> gnomefreak, tyy
[05:11] <[-DevinE-] > oky 10x
[05:11] <_jason> erus`: are you compiling a program or just using gcc on a file?
[05:11] <gnomefreak> sanitarium: not always will you need to run apt-get update but for this instance i would
[05:12] <erus`> compiling a program library type thing
[05:12] <daimers> tell eliasson about nvidia
[05:12] <daimers> tell daimers about nvidia
[05:12] <_jason> erus`: export CC=gcc-3.4, generally works
[05:12] <gnomefreak> =
[05:12] <erus`> ah ok ty
[05:12] <gnomefreak> thanks _jason
[05:12] <[-DevinE-] > !nvidia
[05:12] <ubotu> from memory, nvidia is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[05:12] <theine> erus`, try "export CC=gcc-3.3" before your run configure and make
[05:12] <daimers> Where can i find the link how to install nvidia drivers?
[05:12] <daimers> thanks
[05:12] <sanitarium> gnomefreak, ok its a brand new install, just got net working, so
[05:13] <gnomefreak> sanitarium: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:13] <sanitarium> ok
[05:13] <gnomefreak> that maybe best it will get you any newer kernels
[05:13] <gnomefreak> for that version of ubuntu
[05:13] <sanitarium> nice
[05:13] <seicherlbob> ok... removing me from admin-group was no good idea
[05:13] <sanitarium> 5.10 dowenloaded it yesterday
[05:14] <_jason> seicherlbob: nope, want to get back?
[05:14] <gnomefreak> sanitarium: youll enjoy it its stable :))
[05:14] <daimers> anyone know how to get "vlc"? ive tryed to add their apt-mirrors and did "apt-get install vlc" but the package dont exist their telling me
[05:14] <gnomefreak> _jason: he wants both su and sudo
[05:14] <seicherlbob> _jason: set it already back
[05:14] <_jason> oh
[05:14] <gnomefreak> !vlc
[05:14] <ubotu> vlc is, like, totally, a video/audio player that supports almost everything - See http://www.videolan.org/ for more information (VLC is in the repos)
[05:14] <seicherlbob> yes... would be nice
[05:14] <ninnnu> daimers: did you command sudo apt-get upadte?
[05:15] <gnomefreak> !info vlc
[05:15] <kuja> sudo apt-get install vlc #works for me
[05:15] <ubotu> vlc: (multimedia player for all audio and video formats), section universe/graphics, is optional. Version: 0.8.4-svn20050920-3+hal0ubuntu3 (breezy), Packaged size: 5817 kB, Installed size: 13740 kB
[05:15] <erus`> ok thatnks for al your help
[05:15] <gnomefreak> daimers: you need to enable universe repo
[05:15] <theine> seicherlbob, you need to enable the root account for that, but I would suggest to use "sudo -i" as a replacement for "su -"
[05:15] <kuja> gnomefreak: Oddly it's GTK1 :(
[05:15] <daimers> worked.
[05:15] <gnomefreak> kuja: what is?
[05:15] <kuja> vlc
[05:16] <kuja> gvlc at least
[05:16] <seicherlbob> _jason: any ideas? my sudo won't promt for my password anymore. i just want sudo to ask me again. right now i will allow me to do everything without asking for passwd
[05:16] <_jason> seicherlbob: that's normal, once you enter a password once it will remember it for 15 minutes
[05:16] <_jason> seicherlbob: you can make it forget with 'sudo -k'
[05:16] <seicherlbob> _jason: I did a restart and i never entered one within this session
[05:17] <freefab> hi
[05:17] <theine> seicherlbob, did you modify /etc/sudoers by any chance?
[05:17] <_jason> seicherlbob: oh, well that's not normal.  Try sudo -k anyway to make sure
[05:17] <freefab> can anybody tell me how to execute a command at boot time in ubuntu?
[05:17] <joachim-n> how do I permanenetly set my cvs root?
[05:17] <seicherlbob> i can still edit fstab without beeing prompted for password
[05:17] <kuja> joachim-n: $CVSROOT I believe it was.
[05:17] <joachim-n> yup, but when I log in again it's gone
[05:18] <joachim-n> or at least, I get this message: cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option
[05:18] <seicherlbob> theine: yes, i had to to get it running again
[05:18] <freefab> joachim-n, put it in your .profile or .bashrc
[05:18] <freefab> nobody can help me?
[05:18] <kuja> Well, stick it in /etc/bash.bashrc
[05:18] <freefab> ;)
[05:19] <theine> seicherlbob, please paste the sudoers file somewhere so that we can take a look at it
[05:19] <[-DevinE-] > i686 compatible processor.
[05:19] <seicherlbob> _jason: still... wont prompt.
[05:19] <freefab> kuja, do you know how to execute a command at boot time in ubuntu?
[05:19] <kuja> freefab: Hm, not quite sure. Actually, that'd be useful for me to know too.
[05:19] <kuja> freefab: Maybe there's a resource config somewhere.
[05:20] <gnomefreak> kuja: system>prefferences>sessions iirc
[05:20] <freefab> i know, but i can't find any rc.local style configuration file...
[05:20] <sanitarium> gnomefreak it asked me if im root?
[05:20] <gnomefreak> than look under start up also the starter guide in the help icon tells you how
[05:20] <gnomefreak> sanitarium: huh?
[05:21] <kuja> gnomefreak: Huh? I didn't ask about that :O
[05:21] <gnomefreak> sanitarium: sudo and use your user password when it asks for password
[05:21] <kenny> hey everyone......Im not trying to but in but the jpeg veiwer gwenveiw couldnt be found and I keep getting a message bout an error with lillypond when I install programs
[05:21] <gnomefreak> kuja: you said you would like to know too
[05:21] <[-DevinE-] > what is a i686 compatible procesor ?????
[05:21] <ubuntu> hi
[05:21] <seicherlbob> theine: http://pastebin.com/578561
[05:21] <kuja> gnomefreak: I'm talking about at boot time. Not GNOME startup
[05:22] <kuja> As in, once the kernel is uncompressed.
[05:22] <gnomefreak> kuja: ohhhhhhhh
[05:22] <avd1> freefab: put it in it's own (executable) file in /etc/init.d, and symlink it to e.g. /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rcS.d
[05:22] <kuja> :)
[05:22] <gnomefreak> sorry
[05:22] <theine> seicherlbob, that looks totally fine
[05:22] <kuja> gnomefreak: No prob, for the gnome stuff I usually use .gnomerc instead :)
[05:22] <gnomefreak> kuja: that works too
[05:22] <kuja> Yep :D
[05:23] <bob_> hello, anybody know about good wordbook for ubuntu (gnome) that has dbs of words stored locally
[05:23] <kenny> does anyone know of another Jpeg veiwer I could try?
[05:23] <seicherlbob> theine: so what can be the problem?
[05:23] <theine> seicherlbob, did you add yourself to any groups that were not a member of in the first place?
[05:23] <seicherlbob> theine: not a good feeling when everyone can do everything aslong as i'm not logged off
[05:24] <gnomefreak> kenny: gimp or gthumb
[05:24] <seicherlbob> theine: i had to do that manually cause i locked myself out of all groups (typing-mistake)
[05:24] <theine> seicherlbob, only members of the admin group will be able to do everything
[05:24] <sanitarium> gnome i forget the second sudo
[05:24] <sanitarium> lol
[05:24] <seicherlbob> theine: that's what i am now
[05:24] <gnomefreak> lol san
[05:24] <theine> seicherlbob, so which groups do you belong to?
[05:24] <gnomefreak> that will do it
[05:24] <sanitarium> cant type
[05:24] <kenny> gimp wont recognize it
[05:24] <theine> seicherlbob, yeah, but not everybody else I guess?
[05:24] <gnomefreak> sanitarium: you can run the commans sepratly if you wish
[05:24] <seicherlbob> theine: disk cdrom sudo audio video users admin
[05:25] <theine> seicherlbob, aha... remove yourself from the sudo group
[05:25] <sanitarium> gnomefreak, ok
[05:25] <seicherlbob> theine: ok, whats the sudogroup good for?
[05:25] <seicherlbob> AH!
[05:25] <gnomefreak> ok im gone time to get vc and school :(
[05:25] <theine> seicherlbob, appearently for using sudo without a password :)
[05:26] <seicherlbob> theine: its the group for sudo. so the system thinks i am sudo... so i can do everything
[05:27] <seicherlbob> theine: yes!
[05:27] <seicherlbob> theine: thats it. members of sudo dont get asked for sudo-password
[05:27] <theine> seicherlbob, good to know
[05:27] <_jason> hrmm never knew that
[05:27] <seicherlbob> wellwell... learning by trial and error
[05:27] <kenny> is there a tool that makes all this comman line stuff a lil more windows like.........not trying to be funny .
[05:28] <theine> seicherlbob, that's always a very good way of learning in my experience
[05:28] <seicherlbob> theine: thanks a lot!
[05:28] <engla> kenny: which stuff?
[05:28] <theine> seicherlbob, thank you too
[05:28] <seicherlbob> ;)
[05:29] <kenny> well like the installation of linux thats not in the synaptic package mgr
[05:29] <joachim-n> ok, CVS still says cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option
[05:29] <engla> kenny: the command line in windows is so much worse, you don't want  that ;-)
[05:29] <engla> kenny: there is tools for that
[05:29] <joachim-n> but echo $CVSROOT produces the corrent value
[05:29] <joachim-n> what's going on?
[05:29] <kenny> like I wanted real player  and none of my videos work
[05:29] <engla> kenny: like gdebi and other things. I  made a script to make it graphical once too
[05:29] <cemoi> salut
[05:29] <ninnnu> I like to use command line much more than some kind of GUI-stuff... It's a lot easier and faster that way (IMO)

[05:42] <mdeboer> it's a bit of a guess
[05:42] <mdeboer> i wonder why tvtime needs /dev/mixer
[05:42] <keizers> hello everybody
[05:42] <bjornkri> dag
[05:42] <mdeboer> Master: ls -l /dev/mixer shows nothing?

[05:44] <keizers> ??
[05:44] <sapo> hi all, i just installed breezy here and cant install smbfs, it keeps saying: Package smbfs is not available.. how can i install it from elsewhere? thanx
[05:44] <mdeboer> keizers: just ask your question
[05:44] <keizers> ok
[05:44] <Webx> can anyone tell me what the regular expression * dose? i can only find tons of text when googeling..
[05:44] <sovin> question: is it normal for firefox to have a delay while surfing? (a delay, 'processing delay,' apart from lag/loading of page)...
[05:44] <mdeboer> sovin: never seen that
[05:45] <MasterC> mdeboer: hm, mixer is availbale but still no sound in tvtime
[05:45] <keizers> I cannot get my printer working, it's fully installed both when i print a tast i get an status 22 error in my cups log
[05:45] <keizers> and the task is canceled
[05:45] <Mordof> anyone else know how to get rid of my Debian Applications menu item
[05:45] <LinuxJones> Mordof: how did you get that ?
[05:45] <Webx> anyone knows what grep |sd.*s will do?
[05:45] <Mordof> i dont know
[05:45] <Mordof> i just looked in the menu and it was there :P
[05:46] <pudland> mordorf, do you have smeg installed
[05:46] <mdeboer> Webx: nothing usefull
[05:46] <Mordof> pudland, i dont think so...
[05:46] <keizers> mm, nobody who can help :'(
[05:46] <mdeboer> keizers: no idea...
[05:46] <Mordof> pudland, yes
[05:46] <unperson> Where can I find a complete listing of all the boot options for the Breeze live CD?
[05:46] <colm_working> Mordof, sudo apt-get remove menu
[05:46] <Mordof> pudland, but that wont get rid of it
[05:47] <unperson> I have googled but to no avail yet.
[05:47] <pudland> mordorf, it will hide it from the app menu
[05:47] <Mordof> colm_working, do i need to logout for that to take effect?
[05:47] <sanitarium> keizers
[05:47] <mdeboer> MasterC: i don't know tvtime.. but do other apps work?
[05:47] <LinuxJones> unperson: isn't there a list of options when you boot into the cd under like F5 key ?
[05:48] <sovin> mdeboer: compaired to say, surfing on a windows platform; browsing is a tad slower.
[05:48] <sanitarium> keizers i had similar problem it was parallel port set up in cmos
[05:48] <unperson> LinuxJones:  A rather small one yes.  I'm not sure that's very exhaustive.
[05:48] <colm_working> Mordof, looks like it...
[05:48] <unperson> LinuxJones:  If so, it's a lot fewer than on, e.g., Knoppix.
[05:49] <mdeboer> sovin: but it looks better! :-)
[05:49] <sovin> question: is there a way to enable multiverse via command line?
[05:49] <unperson> LinuxJones:  But, whereas Knoppix has a page discussing the options, I can't find one for Ubuntu.
[05:49] <mdeboer> sovin: sure, just edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:49] <LinuxJones> unperson: google might be the best place to search for that info
[05:49] <sovin> mdeboer: i wholeheartedly agree (i'd never return to windows even if .. well.. i just won't by choice) =)
[05:49] <sovin> mdeboer: excellent! thanks
[05:50] <clever`rev>  error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:50] <clever`rev> any way to fix it?
[05:50] <unperson> LinuxJones:  As I said, that's what I've been trying, but no luck.
[05:51] <unperson> Is there really no page on the Ubuntu site, the wiki, or anywhere else that lists all the livecd boot options?  I just assumed it must exist somewhere.
[05:51] <mdeboer> clever`rev: where do you get that?
[05:51] <mdeboer> when
[05:51] <[-DevinE-] > !permission
[05:51] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, [-DevinE-]
[05:51] <[-DevinE-] > damn
[05:51] <clever`rev> when trying to start a vnc binary i downloading mdeboer
[05:52] <[-DevinE-] > how do i change a folders permision by terminal ?
[05:52] <mdeboer> clever`rev: this binary has been linked to a version of the libc library that you don't have on your system
[05:52] <clever`rev> i downloaded the source but it doesnt compile everythnig
[05:52] <[-DevinE-] > !perm
[05:52] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, [-DevinE-]
[05:52] <clever`rev> and i have a friend that has a game binary with the same error
[05:53] <unperson> Ok, to ask a more specific question, has anyone used the xmodule= option successfully with the Ubuntu LiveCD?
[05:53] <[-DevinE-] > how do i change a folders permision by terminal ?
[05:53] <sovin> question: can anyone refer a good sourcelist site?
[05:53] <nickrud> !sources
[05:53] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[05:53] <sovin> awesome.
[05:53] <unperson> [-DevinE-] :  chmod
[05:53] <btdown> yea use the 6666 one
[05:53] <theine> [-DevinE-] , with chmod
[05:53] <nickrud> [-DevinE-] : sudo chmod
[05:53] <mdeboer> clever`rev: well, apart from compiling not much you can do.
[05:53] <theine> nickrud, why sudo?
[05:53] <[-DevinE-] > chmod and then wat ?
[05:53] <ailean> does anyone have live streaming real video or windows streaming video working perfectly on mplayer?
[05:53] <[-DevinE-] > sodo so that it know i'm root
[05:53] <clever`rev> when i compile the vnc source im missing the main program Xvnc
[05:53] <wastrel> ubotu tell [-DevinE-]  about cli
[05:53] <mdeboer> clever`rev: you might, but really, this is an ugly hack, fake the presense of the lib
[05:54] <clever`rev> so its useless
[05:54] <unperson> [-DevinE-] :  You can type "man chmod" to see documentation, or google it for probably better explanations.
[05:54] <nickrud> theine: mixed a question I answered yesterday with this one.
[05:54] <fsdfs> If I shutdown my computer, is the information in my swap space removed?
[05:54] <nickrud> theine: dumb, eh?
[05:54] <[-DevinE-] > 10x
[05:54] <mdeboer> clever`rev: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
[05:55] <ailean> or isn't it possible at the moment? (does anyone have live streaming real video or windows streaming video working perfectly on mplayer?)
[05:55] <clever`rev> still gives the error msg
[05:55] <mdeboer> clever`rev: but, really, this may very well not work, crash, and make your neighbours dog pregnant
[05:55] <wastrel> fsdfs:  I DON'T THINK SO
[05:55] <theine> [-DevinE-] , depends...
[05:55] <theine> [-DevinE-] , read more about it with "man chmod"
[05:55] <theine> [-DevinE-] , if you want to make a folder writeable by *all* users, type "chmod +w <folder>"
[05:55] <skhera> swap is of no use once u log off
[05:55] <wastrel> er, sry caps :]
[05:55] <nickrud> ailean: not perfectly (not possible) but it works here
[05:56] <fsdfs> skhera: Once I log off all the information in the swap from my proceses as the user is gone?
[05:56] <mdeboer> clever`rev: sudo ldconfig
[05:56] <jetscreamer> wtf is a folder
[05:56] <fsdfs> skhera: Any slack information either, from ext3?
[05:56] <clever`rev> folder==directory
[05:56] <jetscreamer> ah
[05:56] <ailean> i have it working, but it skips and pauses with roughly second intervals . . . it's not watchable.  Is there any reason why it's not possible?
[05:56] <mdeboer> clever`rev: ai, no, sorry:  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

[05:58] <seicherlbob> me again ;) i got problems with my thinkpad starting from hybernation. all i get are strange stripes when X is coming up. any ideas how i can fix that?
[05:58] <mdeboer> clever`rev: no idea... is there no debian/ubuntu package for this application?
[05:58] <clever`rev> i couldnt find one
[05:58] <seicherlbob> seems to me as if it could not start the display-drivers
[05:58] <clever`rev> in the package managed
[05:58] <clever`rev> and the site just has tar.gz and rpm files
[05:58] <wastrel> there's vnc in apt
[05:59] <clever`rev> and the one built into ubuntu sucks up cpu
[05:59] <andrew_> Yo i tryed installing my belkin card on my router with ubuntu and it just keeps saying
[05:59] <andrew_> root@leetbox:/home/andrew/Desktop/Driver# ndiswrapper -l
[05:59] <andrew_> Installed ndis drivers:

[05:59] <jetscreamer> hey spam
[05:59] <jetscreamer> wow
[06:00] <wastrel> clever`rev:  there's at least 3 different vnc versions packaged for ubuntu
[06:00] <theine> seicherlbob, i would try playing around with /etc/default/acpi-support and see if that helps
[06:00] <theine> seicherlbob, there are several video related options
[06:01] <andrew_> anyone help me?
[06:01] <seicherlbob> theine: i'd like to avoid "playing"
[06:01] <vbgunz> Anyone here with an nVidia card (5600), using the nv driver and have a dual display going? Can you share your xorg.conf with me please?
[06:02] <seicherlbob> theine: what you mean by "video related options"?
[06:02] <theine> seicherlbob, toggling SAVE_VBE_STATE or POST_VIDEO won't make the situation worse
[06:02] <nickrud> seicherlbob: try searching the wiki for laptop, possibly there's a page for your laptop that has some guidance
[06:02] <andrew_> ..... nickrud
[06:03] <seicherlbob> nickrud: thanks. think i found something on the net. i'll check that when i got time... in 60 years when i'm retired ;)
[06:03] <nickrud> andrew_: I don't have any wireless, so .... I know nothing ;)
[06:03] <andrew_> lol
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> ive given up on wireless... easier to just run wires.
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> :P
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> faster to.
[06:03] <theine> seicherlbob, have you looked at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki ?
[06:03] <nickrud> seicherlbob: you have a long life ahead then ;)
[06:03] <andrew_> lol im using my laptop so i like wireless
[06:04] <seicherlbob> no, i'll retire quite late ;)
[06:04] <noaXess> whats the command line system update tool in ubuntu?
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> andrew_,  i also use my laptop.. I just use it in one of 4 different places in the house. so i ran wires to all 4 spots.
[06:04] <nickrud> noaXess: sudo aptitude update
[06:04] <seicherlbob> theine: thanks, thats great!
[06:04] <andrew_> i use it out of the ouse and everywhere i go
[06:04] <btdown> !apt
[06:04] <ubotu> hmm... apt is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowTo/ or http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#apt-howto
[06:04] <andrew_> and wires suck lol
[06:04] <clever`rev> i just drag a 20foot network cable with me
[06:04] <Absenth> quick question.
[06:04] <seicherlbob> theine, nickrud : gotta go now. thanks for that info. See you later!
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> andrew_,  i cant even get wireless working under windows. :) i think the ductwork is causing issues.
[06:04] <Absenth> If I start with a 5.10 "server" install.  and apt-get ubuntu-desktop
[06:05] <theine> seicherlbob, bye bye
[06:05] <noaXess> nickrud: okey.. as root only aptitude update i think
[06:05] <andrew_> i got it working with suse
[06:05] <Absenth> will that change my boot from init3 -5?
[06:05] <Dr_Willis> i can see the neighbots network good however. :P
[06:05] <andrew_> and gentoo
[06:05] <andrew_> im surly someone can help me get it working wid ubuntu
[06:05] <nickrud> noaXess: yes, anything to do with installing/updating/removing packages requires root
[06:05] <Ashly> Ok, there a way to burn an image when your booted from Live CD 5.10?  because when I eject the cd I get errors
[06:05] <Ashly> This is going to be a pain in my rear if I have to reinstall windows
[06:06] <Dr_Willis> Ashly,  could see if theres a 'toram' option when you first boot up. You will need a lot of ram however.
[06:06] <clever`rev> second cd drive Ashly
[06:06] <Demigod> i want to know whats my ip address from my linux box i tried ifconfig but im not sure which one its the right one
[06:06] <Demigod> can someone help me please?
[06:06] <Absenth> Demigod,  you have more then 1 NIC?
[06:06] <Demigod> what is NIC?
[06:06] <nickrud> Demigod: inet addr:
[06:07] <Absenth> Demigod, Network Interface card.
[06:07] <jetscreamer> !nic
[06:07] <ubotu> jetscreamer: I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:07] <LjL> demigod: your internet address is <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:07] <Demigod> no
[06:07] <Demigod> just 1
[06:07] <jetscreamer> lol@ljl
[06:07] <Demigod> yeah but i dont want my internet address
[06:07] <Demigod> i want my linux ip address
[06:07] <Absenth> Demigod, then, ifconfig, and read the dotted quad, after inet addr:
[06:07] <colm> eth0 inet addr - that will be your local address
[06:07] <jetscreamer> then why did you ask for it
[06:07] <jetscreamer> same thing
[06:07] <Demigod> ahh ok
[06:07] <LjL> demigod: "IP" means "internet protocol" :)
[06:07] <Absenth> Demigod, it'll look like..... <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:08] <LjL> demigod: if you have more than one IP address, then you have more than one network card
[06:08] <colm> jetscreamer, my external internet ip is not the same as my internal
[06:08] <LjL> demigod: which address is "right" depends on which address you want to know about
[06:08] <jetscreamer> ah you think he runs a local network...
[06:08] <Demigod> i wanna run vnc on windows so i can do things on the linux box
[06:08] <andrew_> lol
[06:09] <colm> LjL, the loopback device is also listed, so it's eth0 that he's interested in
[06:09] <nickrud> colm: but wouldn't your local net address show in the same place ... ?
[06:09] <andrew_> vnc is easy to setup on winblows
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> VNC is dang Handy.
[06:09] <Demigod> yeah i know
[06:09] <Absenth> ssh > vnc :)
[06:09] <andrew_> lol
[06:09] <Demigod> but i need the ip address of the linux box
[06:09] <colm> nickrud, yes, that's all I see.  just contesting the "it's the same thing" comment
[06:09] <Absenth> but you're right,  VNC is very easy on windows.
[06:09] <nickrud> colm: behind a router or the like, ok then
[06:09] <LjL> demigod: ok, can you paste the output of ifconfig on the pastebin?
[06:10] <colm> freenx > ssh
[06:10] <nickrud> sneakernet rules
[06:10] <Absenth> bah.
[06:10] <clever`rev> is there a console cmd to list all packages that can be installed?
[06:10] <Demigod> and paste it here?
[06:10] <clever`rev> that i can then feed thru grep to search
[06:10] <nickrud> clever`rev: sudo aptitude search .*
[06:10] <Absenth> I'm not sure anything is better then ssh.
[06:11] <LjL> clever`rev: though can't you just use apt-cache to search? =)
[06:11] <colm> well truth be told freenx _uses_ ssh to do it's magic, but I'd certainly say that freenx > vnc
[06:11] <clever`rev> dont know
[06:11] <theine> Demigod, you can paste the output of "ifconfig | grep inet\ addr" here...
[06:11] <clever`rev> wanted a way to do it without the gui
[06:12] <wastrel> what's freenx?
[06:12] <LjL> clever`rev: uh, apt-cache is *not* gui
[06:12] <LjL> !tell clever`rev about shortapt
[06:12] <clever`rev> :)
[06:12] <Absenth> If I did a "server" install of 5.10, and then later apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  is that going to change the boot mode from cli to gui?
[06:12] <colm> clever`rev, apt-cache search .
[06:13] <clever`rev> i have the man page open:)\
[06:13] <Seveas> Absenth, yes
[06:13] <colm> !freenx
[06:13] <ubotu> freenx is, like, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeNX
[06:13] <Absenth> well....  crapalishis :)  Thanks Seveas.
[06:13] <andrew_> ANyone wanna help me with wireless then?
[06:13] <Mordof> question: i use evolution mail... if i set it to check for new mail every 10 minutes, do i have to leave the window open?
[06:13] <Mordof> or is it just like a crontab
[06:14] <theine> ubotu, is it just me or does ubotu use the word "like" way too often?
[06:14] <ubotu> theine: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:14] <LjL> clever`rev: usually, people use apt-cache to search, and then grep to narrow the results, as apt-cache alone also searches in the long package descriptions
[06:14] <nubious> Anyone wanna gimmie a quick run thorugh on MySQL setup? I just through Breezy onto a partition cause I wanna try to get MythTv (www.mythtv.org) running...
[06:14] <Seveas> Mordof, you need to leave evolution open
[06:14] <clever`rev> k:)
[06:14] <LjL> clever`rev: so more often than not it will be something like "apt-cache search blah | grep blih"
[06:14] <Mordof> stupid... i wonder if evolution has a command line to check mail
[06:14] <nickrud> Absenth: if you want it to boot into the command line, sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm
[06:14] <Mordof> if so im making a crontab
[06:14] <Seveas> it has not
[06:15] <wastrel> Mordof:  there's a mail notification applet for gnome
[06:15] <Absenth> nickrud, that's easy enough,  Thanks.
[06:15] <theine> nickrud, may I suggest update-rc.d for that?
[06:15] <nickrud> theine: update-rc2.d is a very nice tool for building sane packages, but overkill for a simple change (to me, anyway)
[06:16] <nickrud> *update-rc.d
[06:16] <nubious> is there an apt-get command for mysql or is it installed by default>?
[06:16] <theine> nickrud, fair point
[06:16] <Mordof> wastrel, whats it called?
[06:16] <fsdfs> nubious: apt-get install mysql-server
[06:16] <colm> !tell nubious about lamp
[06:16] <ploom> !tell ploom lamp
[06:16] <wastrel> Mordof:  mail-notification  looks like
[06:17] <ploom> !tell ploom about lamp
[06:17] <andrew_> !tell me how 2 get wireless working
[06:17] <LjL> !msg the bot
[06:17] <ubotu> Please message the bot (me) in private, more info about the bot: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[06:17] <LjL> !bot
[06:17] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel except #debian-bots.
[06:17] <ploom> :-)
[06:18] <colm> Mordof, did you get rid of the debian menu?
[06:18] <andrew_> Yo i tryed installing my belkin card on my router with ubuntu and it just keeps saying
[06:18] <andrew_> root@leetbox:/home/andrew/Desktop/Driver# ndiswrapper -l
[06:18] <andrew_> Installed ndis drivers:
[06:18] <andrew_> bcmwl5 driver present
[06:18] <andrew_> and the led wont start flashing can anyone help?
[06:18] <jordo23> In Gnome....how to you add applications to the 'start' menu?
[06:18] <ninnnu> Hey, is Ubuntu's default-kernel BadRAM-patched ( http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/index.html )
[06:18] <Seveas> ninnnu,
[06:18] <Seveas> no
[06:19] <colm> jordo23, click applications > add/remove
[06:19] <LjL> ninnnu: hey, another badram user! anyway, no, don't think so
[06:19] <ninnnu> ok...
[06:19] <cedriczg> jordo23, right click
[06:19] <Absenth> so to find out about lamp, I'd /msg ubotu !lamp     ?
[06:19] <jordo23> colm: oh yeah....duh....didn't see it.
[06:19] <cedriczg> jordo23, right click > edit menus
[06:19] <LjL> Absenth: "/msg ubotu lamp", with no exclamation mark
[06:20] <ninnnu> Then I probably try to recompile Ubuntu's default-kernel with that...
[06:20] <cedriczg> does someone have the same trouble I have. When opening XMMS I have always to reload my playlist
[06:20] <nickrud> Absenth: opening a dialog window with ubotu works really well
[06:20] <Absenth> yeah,  it was the syntax to get what I wanted that was kicking my backside.
[06:20] <LjL> ninnnu: yeah, i really don't think it can be made as a module
[06:20] <Absenth> thanks all.
[06:21] <edward0> cedriczg:  I use vlc maybe you might like that?
[06:21] <cedriczg> edward0, a plugin called vlc?
[06:21] <VNA9216> hi everybody!
[06:21] <edward0> cedriczg: no vlc (video lan client) plays video/audio has playlist support etc... lots of stuff beats xmms imho
[06:22] <edward0> cedriczg: apt-get install vlc :)
[06:22] <cedriczg> oh
[06:22] <VNA9216> got a small question here...  is there any place where I can request for a kernel module to be included with ubuntu?  or make it available for easy installation with apt?
[06:23] <cedriczg> edward0, does it support .mod and .it files?
[06:23] <Seveas> VNA9216, which module?
[06:23] <edward0> cedriczg: has visualizations, mouse gestures, probably has support for all that you can read about it at http://www.videolan.org/
[06:23] <VNA9216> Seveas:  the fsam7400 module..
[06:23] <colm> !tell VNA9216 -about motu
[06:24] <cedriczg> edward0, thanxs, but I'd like also to fix that thing on my XMMS
[06:24] <VNA9216> Seveas: its needed to enable wireless network on fujitsu siemens amilo 7400 laptops..
[06:24] <Seveas> VNA9216, that ons is already available
[06:24] <edward0> cedriczg: well there is an xmms clone called bmp beep-media-player maybe that would work
[06:24] <VNA9216> it is?   I dont see it with apt..   and cant load it by default either..
[06:25] <Seveas> VNA9216, in breezy and dapper it's in the standard kernel packages
[06:25] <Seveas> linux-image-2.6.12-9-686: lib/modules/2.6.12-9-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/fsam7400.ko
[06:25] <edward0> cedriczg: xmms is awful when you compare it to say vlc
[06:25] <VNA9216> ok :) thats good to know..
[06:25] <VNA9216> breezy is 5.10 right?
[06:25] <LjL> yes
[06:25] <Seveas> yes
[06:25] <cedriczg> edward0, I'm already downloading vlc to see it :)
[06:26] <VNA9216> ok :)  been running 5.04 at the moment... because I had a few small probs with 5.10  but I guess I will give it another try :)  tnx
[06:26] <VNA9216> ty for the help you guys :)
[06:31] <mike-e> what's the best route for me to get a linksys usb 10/100 network adapter to work
[06:32] <mike-e> i need to have a second adapter on this box to set up firmware on routers
[06:32] <ompaul> the one you take every day?
[06:32] <mike-e> troll
[06:32] <ompaul> :)
[06:33] <cedriczg> edward0, sorry but I didn't like much the vlc
[06:33] <mike-e> vlc is great
[06:33] <Determinist> vlc sucks
[06:33] <edward0> vlc sucks?
[06:33] <nickrud> +1 Determinist
[06:33] <mike-e> Determinist : why does it suck?
[06:33] <cedriczg> Iwas looking for a good mp3 player like winamp whcih is XMMS
[06:33] <Determinist> first, it crashes every time you try seeking through a file
[06:34] <Determinist> while totem and mplayer dont
[06:34] <mike-e> it doesn't on this box
[06:34] <Determinist> not to say mplayer works fine either, but it at least doesnt crash
[06:34] <mike-e> cedriczg : you could also try beep-media-player
[06:34] <edward0> Determinist: the latest vlc?
[06:34] <cedriczg> vlc didn't recogniza files in long directories
[06:34] <Determinist> edward0, the one from the repos
[06:34] <Webx> what dose grep as*d serch fore?
[06:34] <cedriczg> But I just wanted to fix a little problem in XMMS
[06:35] <cedriczg> How to have the last playlist I used when I open XMMS again
[06:35] <ompaul> mike-e, I honestly read that as - route to work - my brain left out the other meaning .. usb devices either show up or don't once you have it plugged in I would suggest having a look in  system- admin - networking, no other ideas come to mind
[06:35] <nickrud> Webx: nothing as you wrote it; grep searches inside a file or files: grep <searchterm> <file(s)>
[06:35] <Webx> anyone know what the regular expression * do? like in grep as*d ?
[06:35] <mike-e> thanks
[06:36] <Webx> nickrud: i know that.. what im enterested in is the regular expression *
[06:36] <edward0> * is anything or nothing at all
[06:36] <kronoz> er dunno about rgex but * is usually a wildcard :p
[06:36] <mike-e> ah you're right, i didn't even bother checking interfaces in gnome or in /etc/network/interfaces. i guess i just expected it to auto config since it's usb
[06:36] <nickrud> Webx: see two previous answers
[06:37] <ompaul> Webx, looks like - "grep as* *" gets you all the characters with words starting with as and in the files of that dir
[06:37] <enyc> question:  ? where/how is the best place to report a needless annoyance with x.org init-script/config ?
[06:37] <Webx> i still dont get it
[06:37] <ompaul> mike-e, eth is not /dev/ why I don't know but there ya go
[06:38] <Webx> edward0: i reed that on the internet but i dont really get it
[06:38] <trappist> Webx: * is 0 or more characters or 0 or more of the preceding character
[06:38] <jmjones> ompaul actually, it matches anything with "as" followed by zero or more of any characters.
[06:38] <jmjones> ompaul but as* would match "fast"
[06:38] <trappist> ompaul: I think you're thinking of shell expansion, not regexes
[06:38] <ompaul> jmjones, your right
[06:39] <ompaul> trappist, even
[06:39] <Fredde> Is the new release of ubuntu stable?
[06:39] <ompaul> both of you :)
[06:39] <ompaul> the 5.10 is
[06:39] <ompaul> there is no release beyond that
[06:39] <Webx> trappist: i read that 2 but.. whats the difference whit
[06:39] <duckdown> Hi all.. I'm trying to connect to my moms Windows SMB printer here through GNOME, but it's asking me for a login/password (wtf?  I never had to set one when networking in Windows)  Does anyone know what either A> The default is, or B> How to find out the L/P from the computer I'm trying to connect to?  Thanks
[06:39] <Webx> trappist: i read that 2 but.. whats the difference whit * or whit out it
[06:40] <ompaul> Fredde,  there is a dev work called "dapper"
[06:40] <edward0> Webx: as* will match as, as1, as2, as12, asFOO, asfoo etc...
[06:40] <trappist> Webx: da*er will match daer, daper and dapper
[06:40] <enyc> question:  ? where/how is the best place to report a needless annoyance with x.org init-script/config -- yin that will load xorg.conf from current dir if exists rather than /etc/X11/xorg.conf with init.d/gdm etc. -- very annoying for debugging !! // where/how can I pos t a bug/suggestion thing??
[06:40] <Yokalosh> how do you get gtk 2?
[06:40] <Fredde> mopaul: I knew that, I got dapper and breezy mixed up
[06:40] <duckdown> Fredde: I'm using Dapper 4 and I think it's great
[06:40] <nickrud> Webx: I'd suggest http://www.regular-expressions.info/grep.html , you'll learn a lot more there than here
[06:40] <Fredde> duckdown: what's better and new in the next version?
[06:40] <Webx> nickrud: already red it but i didnt really get it..
[06:41] <duckdown> Fredde: Newest GNOME, Newest versions of most tools, cool VGA installer/console mode settings, and built-in automatic updates
[06:41] <Webx> trappist: so you can say it represent a random string like in your case p and pp
[06:41] <duckdown> fredde: and that's just what ive noticed since installing yesterday night
[06:42] <ompaul> Webx, do this line one: cat > foo ::line two:fast asasdasd as dasdas asdfdfd :: line three:grep as* foo
[06:42] <Fredde> duckdown: did you use ubuntu before the new version you installed?
[06:42] <duckdown> fredde: Yes.. Kubuntu actually
[06:42] <duckdown> but i got sick of kde
[06:42] <duckdown> so went to ubuntu-dapper-4
[06:42] <edward0> Webx: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html
[06:42] <Fredde> duckdown: how do you do system updates, do you burn a new cd or internet update?
[06:42] <duckdown> fredde: Internet update.. it's built right into the taskbar like in Windows
[06:42] <duckdown> it rocks
[06:43] <ompaul> Fredde, all the dapper conversation is in #ubuntu+1 read the topic on your way in there :)
[06:43] <Fredde> duckdown: I use openbox, so I'll have to get into gnome when I'm going to update
[06:43] <trappist> Webx: actually for regexes I misspoke.  it would be da.*er.  it's a multiplier for the preceding character.  da.*er would match those 3 things because it's a "zero or more" multiplier.  da.+er would only match daper or dapper because it's one or more.
[06:43] <edward0> Fredde: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ?
[06:44] <nickrud> Webx: maybe this one is better, it has some examples: http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/grep.html
[06:44] <Fredde> edwar0: Thanks
[06:44] <edward0> Fredde:  there is a package as well to automate apt updates: cron-apt I belive
[06:45] <Fredde> edwar0: okey
[06:45] <Fredde> edward0
[06:45] <edward0> Fredde: cron-apt - automatic update of packages using apt-get
[06:45] <nino> hi all
[06:46] <Webx> trappist: so p.*e (for example) would match? =S *reading*
[06:47] <andrew_> can someone help me?
[06:47] <trappist> Webx: anything with an e after a p with 0 or more characters in between. like punxatawnee.
[06:47] <andrew_> with wireless
[06:47] <trappist> andrew_: not if you don't ask a question.
[06:48] <andrew_> lol
[06:48] <Webx> trappist: think i finaly got it =) thanks for the help
[06:48] <andrew_> if you would please read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=782176#post782176
[06:48] <andrew_> and tell me whats up
[06:48] <edward0> Webx: p.*e would match p, one character (.), any character or nothing at all (*), and e
[06:48] <trappist> Webx: it would also match pe.  if you want to match p<something>e but not pe, use p.+e
[06:49] <trappist> edward0: or a zillion characters
[06:49] <albacker> guys i can play wma's in totem but i can't under BMP.. do you know why does this happen ?!
[06:49] <trappist> as in punxatawnee.
[06:49] <[-DevinE-] > oky i cant do it by myself .. i have a directory named PlanetShift how do i make it accesible 2 other users besides root ?
[06:50] <[-DevinE-] > using chmod
[06:50] <trappist> [-DevinE-] : depends what you mean by accessible.  readable?  writable?  viewable?
[06:50] <Webx> trappist and edward0, thanks
[06:50] <[-DevinE-] > all of them
[06:50] <sovin> question: i'm thinking about _uninstalling_ several unnecessary packages from my system (fetchmail, serpentine, rhythymbox..) but when i mark them for removal it always says it will remove the ubuntu-desktop.. will anything ahppen if i remove that?
[06:50] <edward0> Webx: read abs if you really want to learn
[06:51] <trappist> [-DevinE-] : that's a bad idea and I won't be a part of it - unless you want a *specific* user to be able to do all that, in which case you use chown.
[06:51] <wastrel> sovin:  that's just a wrapper
[06:51] <andrew_> Right trappist
[06:51] <andrew_> Yo i tryed installing my belkin card on my router with ubuntu and it just keeps saying
[06:51] <andrew_> root@leetbox:/home/andrew/Desktop/Driver# ndiswrapper -l
[06:51] <andrew_> Installed ndis drivers:
[06:51] <andrew_> bcmwl5 driver present
[06:51] <wastrel> sovin:  you can remove it safely
[06:51] <andrew_> and the led wont start flashing can anyone help?
[06:51] <sovin> wastrel: thank you.
[06:51] <andrew_> ignore the router shit
[06:51] <sovin> ubotu, tell sovin about wrapper
[06:51] <andrew_> i dunno why i put it
[06:51] <sovin> >_> i'll look it up.
[06:51] <[-DevinE-] > trappist:.: i want my user u acces it ... coz now only root can and i can browse the folder
[06:51] <[-DevinE-] > crown ???
[06:51] <trappist> [-DevinE-] : sudo chown -R username directory
[06:52] <[-DevinE-] > oky 10x
[06:52] <wastrel> sovin:  it's a "meta package"  made to easily install a bunch of other packages at one time.
[06:52] <andrew_> .................

[07:00] <kronoz> linux already has a firewall

[07:00] <trappist> Webx: you mean symbolic links?
[07:00] <wastrel> andrew_:  you followed the wiki page on setting up ndiswrapper?
[07:00] <kronoz> webx: ls -a
[07:00] <andrew_> yea
[07:01] <wastrel> andrew_:  you're sure your specific card is supported?
[07:01] <Webx> trappist: yeh probably =)... ls -a lists all files.. i want the links only
[07:01] <andrew_> it works on any other linux
[07:01] <trappist> Webx: find . -type l
[07:02] <duckdown> Hi all.. I'm trying to connect to my moms Windows SMB printer here through GNOME, but it's asking me for a login/password (wtf?  I never had to set one when networking in Windows)  Does anyone know what either A> The default is, or B> How to find out the L/P from the computer I'm trying to connect to?  Thanks
[07:02] <Webx> how do i know if a file (link) is viritual? whats the "name tag" for it?
[07:02] <trappist> Webx: find . -type l -maxdepth 1  if you don't want it recursive
[07:02] <desousa2> hy there
[07:02] <kronoz> if you cd it you'll end up somewhere else :p
[07:02] <edward0> Webx: ls -F
[07:02] <bjornkri> hehe
[07:03] <kronoz> webx: symlink not virtual!!
[07:03] <desousa2> how can i switch trough the "screens" in the keyboard?
[07:03] <kronoz> alt+f*

[07:03] <andrew_> fs:@
[07:03] <andrew_> ubuntu*
[07:03] <Webx> lol.. what i want to do is use ls and grep to find "symbolic links"
[07:04] <aaronshaf> What's the open source alternative to VMWare?
[07:04] <bjornkri> desousa2: or do you mean ctrl+alt left/right?
[07:04] <kronoz> aaribshaf: Xen
[07:04] <trappist> Webx: ls -F | grep '@$'
[07:04] <wastrel> andrew_:  i dunno - did you try installing the latest version of ndiswrapper like it says on the wiki page?
[07:04] <mikebot> where does firefox save passwords?
[07:04] <edward0> Webx: ls -F | grep "@$"
[07:04] <Webx> trappist: thanks man
[07:04] <desousa2> i mean by the "screens" not "windows"
[07:04] <kronoz> aaribshaf: but it will only run other unixes because m$ are difficult
[07:04] <desousa2> and alt+f*
[07:04] <mikebot> because i want to move that file from my ntfs partition to this one
[07:04] <andrew_> it  is up2 date
[07:04] <trappist> Webx: we're not doing homeword for you, are we?
[07:04] <edward0> trappist: :)
[07:04] <trappist> *homework
[07:04] <desousa2> doesnt work
[07:05] <Webx> trappist: of corse not ;)
[07:05] <mikebot> anyone know about saved passwords in firefox?
[07:06] <wastrel> desousa2:  do you mean virtual desktop switching in gnome?
[07:06] <desousa2> yea
[07:06] <bjornkri> try ctrl+alt+f*
[07:06] <wastrel> bjornkri:  that doesn't work in gnome
[07:06] <wastrel> desousa2:  ctrl-alt  left & right arrow
[07:06] <bjornkri> works fine for me :s
[07:06] <wastrel> desousa2:  like bjornkri said earlier
[07:06] <bjornkri> ahh..
[07:06] <bjornkri> heh
[07:07] <podzone> kde is better than gnome:D
[07:07] <bjornkri> yeah, though I had it wrong the first time round :)
[07:07] <edward0> podzone: kde 3.5.x is a mess
[07:07] <bjornkri> when I did get it right, but then messed it up :S
[07:07] <trappist> let's take the desktop flame wars to -offtopic
[07:07] <aaronshaf> So VMWare is really the only practical solution to running windows?
[07:07] <edward0> podzone: make 4.x will be nice if they clean everything up which I take it they are planning on doing :D
[07:07] <duckdown> edward0: agreed
[07:07] <wastrel> sigh some tool has a car alarm without auto-shutoff going outside my apartment
[07:07] <edward0> make/maybe
[07:07] <duckdown> kde 3.5 is bloatware
[07:08] <trappist> let's take the desktop flame wars to -offtopic
[07:08] <duckdown> feels slow
[07:08] <Angel_Dex> Anyone having repo problems?
[07:08] <edward0> trappist: don't think it has come to a (flamewar) yet :D
[07:08] <podzone> edward0 i use xfce on slackware...no gnome or kde:D
[07:09] <naetrick> How do I mount my USB flash drive in Linux?
[07:09] <nicholaspaul> Angel_Dex, i was when using canadian ones. I switched to 'us' prefix and they work fine.
[07:09] <edward0> podzone: I mostly use ratpoison but gnome on my ubuntu setup :)
[07:09] <duckdown> nicholaspaul: yeah .ca is no good
[07:09] <naetrick> I try "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash -t vfat", but it gives me no such device
[07:09] <Angel_Dex> nicholaspaul just now?
[07:09] <naetrick> the kernel recognizes the drive, however
[07:09] <kronoz> aaronshaf: pretty much
[07:09] <Ninja> can anyone help me with trying to encode video for the iPod Video,
[07:10] <Ninja> im having trouble fixing ffmpeg
[07:10] <nicholaspaul> Angel_Dex,  that was 9 hrs ago
[07:10] <trappist> naetrick: tried sda0?  checked dmesg for the device?
[07:10] <Angel_Dex> nicholaspaul Ok cuz i just started having repo problems
[07:11] <mikebot> is there a way to import to gtkpod an itunes file so that it loads all the mp3s i had in my itunes?
[07:11] <nicholaspaul> Angel_Dex, oh. I just checked, all mine seem fine.
[07:11] <s-wx> can you tell me if ca.archive.ubuntu.com is up at this moment?
[07:11] <s-wx> just ping
[07:11] <naetrick> trappist: Still doesn't work, and dmesg gives me "usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4"
[07:11] <Verithrax> How do I reconfigure Ubuntu with Kubuntu installed to use KDM instead of GDM?
[07:12] <nicholaspaul> s-wx, i would switch to us.
[07:12] <nicholaspaul> s-wx, thats us.archive.ubuntu.com
[07:12] <edward0> Verithrax: apt-get install kdm
[07:12] <Angel_Dex> nicholaspaul Oks
[07:12] <nicholaspaul> np Angel_Dex
[07:12] <s-wx> understood but is the CA up please ?
[07:12] <edward0> Verithrax: it should ask you which login manager you would like to use, if not edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[07:13] <naetrick> could it be I don't have the correct support in my kernel for "sda" drives?
[07:13] <Verithrax> KDM is installed already.
[07:13] <defrysk> Verithrax, sudo apt-get remove gdm
[07:13] <trappist> naetrick: that could be if you've built your own kernel
[07:13] <trappist> naetrick: you need scsi disk support
[07:13] <rysiek|pl> hi there guys
[07:13] <naetrick> trappist: Oh, and lsusb gives me "Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0781:5150 SanDisk Corp. SDCZ2 Cruzer Mini Flash Drive (thin)"
[07:14] <rysiek|pl> aksed this on #kubuntu, but got no ideas there
[07:14] <rysiek|pl>  incoming one usplash question: on the USplash wiki page it says, that the image for usplash has to be 16 colours, indexed. But I am using vga=791 in my kernel parameters (that's 1024x768x16bit) - what should the image palette be in that case?
[07:14] <Tigge> Hello
[07:14] <trappist> rysiek|pl: I do believe it has to be 16 colors no matter what.
[07:14] <Angel_Dex> http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/Release.gpg
[07:14] <Angel_Dex> http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-updates/Release.gpg
[07:14] <Angel_Dex> http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-backports/Release.gpg
[07:15] <naetrick> trappist: I think I have that as a module... what is the correct module I should modprobe?
[07:15] <bjornkri> one thing I've been wondering about when it comes to gtkpod... Will I still be able to use the ipod with iTunes on a different computer? Will anything I copy to the iPod on my Ubuntu setup be removed when I connect to the iTunes computer, or will iTunes update itself?
[07:15] <Angel_Dex> nicholaspaul thts what im getting
[07:15] <bjornkri> If you know what I mean...
[07:15] <trappist> naetrick: usb-storage should pull its dependencies with it
[07:15] <Angel_Dex> nicholaspaul should i switch to US or can i just add US onto it and have um both?
[07:15] <nicholaspaul> Angel_Dex, I would change them all to US. works well for me.
[07:16] <Angel_Dex> nicholaspaul i was told US is broken alot
[07:16] <ablomen> bjornkri: it should work the same way as itunes does, if you do get trouble you can just repair it again with the ipod firmware util (tough that would remove all the music on the ipod)
[07:17] <nicholaspaul> oh. Angel_Dex I have one system that has no prefix.  Thought that might have happened :P
[07:18] <ablomen> any time
[07:18] <bjornkri> I thought that was what you were trying to do, guess not
[07:18] <ganondorf-87> lu
[07:18] <nicholaspaul> Angel_Dex, which ones are working for you?
[07:19] <desousa2> like i whant in grafical mode
[07:19] <Angel_Dex> nicholaspaul i htink just europe?
[07:19] <bjornkri> To get back from that, ctrl-alt-f7 should work ;)
[07:19] <naetrick> trappist: That would be it :)
[07:19] <Angel_Dex> nicholaspaul i havent tryed us yet tho
[07:19] <nicholaspaul> oh ok
[07:19] <mikebot> can you force quit in ubuntu?
[07:19] <bjornkri> desousa2, for what you're trying to do, I think ctrl-alt- left and right arrow is what you're looking for
[07:19] <desousa2> geez thanx
[07:20] <desousa2> bjornkri, it work
[07:20] <harfooz> mikebot, do you mean something like what one might use in Mac OS X?
[07:20] <bjornkri> no probs :)
[07:20] <wastrel> mikebot:  you have a program that's misbehaving?
[07:20] <desousa2> bjornkri, whats the purpuse of the console modes?
[07:20] <mikebot> wastrel: i was trying to add a custom something to synaptic, and it wasn't working
[07:20] <mikebot> harfooz: never use dosx
[07:21] <bjornkri> well, you might need to run something as someone else.. or if X freezes you might go there to shut it down the hard way ;)
[07:21] <harfooz> mikebot, try this: open a terminal, type ps -ef, find the process id number, and kill the offending process with kill pid. where pid means process id.
[07:21] <mikebot> wastrel: i had to log out/in, so iw as wondering if there was a force quit option
[07:21] <bjornkri> never used it myself, really
[07:21] <mikebot> harfooz: okay, thanks
[07:21] <wastrel> mikebot:  synaptic froze?
[07:21] <desousa2> lol i usualy just press power off
[07:21] <bjornkri> :)
[07:21] <kronoz> you could just do killall synaptic
[07:21] <mikebot> wastrel: it didn't freeze, cause i could click on the window and it would get focus, but wouldn't move or anything
[07:22] <desousa2> but ... sometime this frizes
[07:22] <desousa2> it as been said that linux only crashs when the hardware is not in good conditions
[07:22] <wastrel> mikebot:  applications->system tools->system monitor  will let you kill programs
[07:22] <desousa2> is it true?
[07:22] <codin> hi
[07:22] <mikebot> wastrel: ah, thanks
[07:22] <codin> how can I boot in text mode using the LiveCD ?
[07:23] <mikebot> wastrel: do you use antivirus and firewall programs?
[07:23] <kronoz> codin: try putting init=3 on the kernel parameters
[07:24] <codin> thanks, I'll try right now
[07:24] <trappist> mikebot: I only use an antivirus on my mail server to protect windows users.
[07:24] <mikebot> trappist: oh, so it's unnecessary?
[07:24] <idefix> if you type eject cdrom0 and it works, is cdrom0 then mounted?
[07:24] <wastrel> i don't use av or firewall but i do have a router running NAT, so my LAN is somewhat protected already
[07:24] <mikebot> speaking of mail, does anyone know why thunderbird only makes a seperate folder for one of my email accounts, and the other 2 just get put under Local?
[07:24] <trappist> mikebot: it's really hard to write an effective virus for linux.
[07:25] <mikebot> trappist: how come?
[07:25] <bjornkri> mikebot, there's an option somewhere.. under accounts. "Put mail in Local" or something like that
[07:25] <mikebot> bjornkri: oh, okay thanks
[07:25] <trappist> mikebot: in windows most people do everything as the administrator, so all the executables get infected.  in linux your user doesn't have write access to system files.
[07:25] <bjornkri> And it's checked by default iirc
[07:25] <idefix> if you type 'eject cdrom0' and it works, is cdrom0 then mounted?
[07:25] <idefix> if so home come I can't play from it?
[07:25] <HappyFool> idefix: shouldn't be. check with 'mount'
[07:26] <mikebot> trappist: ahh
[07:26] <trappist> mikebot: there's a lot more to it than that, but that goes a long way toward making a virus's job hard.
[07:26] <HappyFool> idefix: maybe I misunderstood - you ejected the CD ?
[07:26] <idefix> yes it worked
[07:26] <radar1976> what ftpd program works well with Ubuntu ??
[07:26] <radar1976> I have PPC (Mac Mini)
[07:26] <idefix> so then the cdrom0 station is mounted, how else can I otherwise eject it?!?!
[07:26] <mikebot> trappist: okay, well, i guess i don't need one now
[07:26] <daniel1988> hi everyone. One of my friend needs help with ubuntu. Q: which dhcp client comes with ubuntu? and how should the look like - sudo name_of_dhcp_client eth0 ? TIA
[07:26] <B_166-ER-X> can someone help ? i'm trying to configure my webcam to be able to run it with amsn 0.95, but i'm not sure to get whats my problem, i've looked at http://amsn.sourceforge.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Webcam+In+aMSN#test , but my test.tcl is not in the same Dir as they say, and wont run..
[07:27] <HappyFool> idefix: are you using normal graphical ubuntu (i.e., gnome) ?
[07:27] <radar1976> idefix: type umount /mnt/cdrom0
[07:27] <mikebot> bjornkri: is there a way to amke it so i can send messages from different accounts?
[07:27] <trappist> mikebot: firewalls, on the other hand, aren't a bad idea.
[07:27] <nicholaspaul> Is there a command line to set DNS servers?? I want to put all my Networking gui settings in a script.
[07:27] <lullabud> radar1976: are you looking for a client or server for your mac or ubuntu?
[07:27] <trappist> nicholaspaul: dns servers are set in /etc/resolv.conf
[07:27] <nicholaspaul> aah thanks trappist !
[07:27] <idefix> umount: /mnt/cdrom0 is not mounted (according to mta
[07:27] <idefix> b)
[07:27] <radar1976> lullabud: server, I installed VSFTPD but only one user account can login, not sure why the others can't login
[07:28] <HappyFool> idefix: are you using graphical ubuntu?
[07:28] <idefix> yes
[07:28] <radar1976> idefix: type mount and see where it is mounted
[07:28] <nicholaspaul> trappist, does it matter what order they are in? Can i have too many ?
[07:28] <mikebot> trappist: what firewall would you recommend?
[07:28] <radar1976> eject should work on its own
[07:28] <warren1> how do i make it so applications aren't fighting over my sound card and instead just share it?
[07:28] <codin> how can I boot in text mode using the LiveCD ?, init=3 doesn't work
[07:28] <HappyFool> idefix: do you see a CD-ROM icon on your desktop?
[07:28] <daniel1988> anyone?
[07:28] <lullabud> radar1976: by default vsftpd only allows anonymous access and doesn't have access enabled to local users.  did you edit the conf file to allow local users accounts to log in?
[07:28] <trappist> nicholaspaul: they're in order of preference, and I'm sure you can have as many as you like.
[07:28] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  i think the listed order is the search order,  first one is tried first, etc.
[07:28] <idefix> HappyFool, it's not in the list, only cdrom1 is
[07:28] <trappist> mikebot: I use ipkungfu.  but I'm biased because I wrote it.
[07:28] <radar1976> lullabud: yes and disabled the anonymous user access as well
[07:29] <lullabud> daniel1988: `sudo pump`
[07:29] <mikebot> trappist: haha okay..well is it good?
[07:29] <bjornkri> not sure mikebot, there's only one outgoing server I think. But you can change the Return address when you're composing your message
[07:29] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  man resolv.conf  should be full of factoids :]
[07:29] <trappist> mikebot: of course :)
[07:29] <nicholaspaul> wastrel, trappist oh i see
[07:29] <HappyFool> idefix: do you see a CD-ROM icon on your desktop?
[07:29] <bjornkri> so it can look like you sent from any one of your accounts :)
[07:29] <nicholaspaul> wastrel,  good old man :) thx
[07:29] <idefix> HappyFool no
[07:29] <mikebot> bjornkri: heh okay thanks
[07:29] <lullabud> radar1976: strange.  so you have more than one account on the ubuntu machine, but only one of them can log in?
[07:29] <HappyFool> idefix: ok. when you type mount, you see an entry for /media/cdrom1 ?
[07:30] <deefzi> suddenly opera refuses to show flash-videos when i run it through alsa-oss, why?
[07:30] <idefix> /dev/hdd on /media/cdrom1 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=vincent)
[07:30] <mikebot> trappist: can ig et your firewall through synaptic
[07:30] <daniel1988> lullabud: sudo pump eth0 ?
[07:30] <HappyFool> idefix: ok, does 'umount /media/cdrom1' work ?
[07:30] <radar1976> lullabud: yes I have root plus tons of other users, the second user account (mine) which I created at install is the only account that can login
[07:30] <lullabud> daniel1988: well, you can just do `sudo pump` and it'll initiate a dhcp request on all interfaces.  or you can do `sudo pump -i eth0`
[07:30] <trappist> mikebot: if you have the universe repository setup
[07:30] <idefix> yes it's gone now
[07:30] <lullabud> daniel1988: or you could do `man pump` ;-)
[07:30] <bjornkri> bwahaha
[07:30] <idefix> HappyFool, can you only have one cdrom you mean?
[07:30] <Angel_Dex> Is it ok to have like US CA and EI repos on?
[07:31] <radar1976> idefix did it eject the disc?
[07:31] <mikebot> trappist: okay, thanks
[07:31] <idefix> no the icon disappeared from the desktop
[07:31] <HappyFool> idefix: no, but if you use umount you have to specify the correct mount point
[07:31] <HappyFool> idefix: i thought you said there was no icon?
[07:31] <radar1976> idefix: you can have one CD based on the number of drives in the computer
[07:31] <idefix> I have two cdrom's
[07:31] <radar1976> ahh ok
[07:31] <radar1976> try eject /media/cdrom or /media/cdrom1
[07:31] <daniel1988> lullabud: TY, I will tell him, for me dhcpcd (on Gentoo) works w/o problems, but dhcpcd is not included in Ubuntu by default
[07:32] <mikebot> okay, when i open a program, and while it's opening i switch to a different workspace, the program will open in my current workspace...can i prevent this>?
[07:32] <daniel1988> lullabud: TY again, have a nice  day
[07:32] <HappyFool> idefix: the easiest way would have been to right-click on the CD-ROM icon on the desktop and chosen 'eject'
[07:32] <idefix> that works radar 1976, I already did that
[07:32] <idefix> HappyFool  I have two CDrom's, I know I should sell one, but I haven't yet
[07:32] <radar1976> idefix go to system the preferences, then removeable media
[07:33] <radar1976> idefix nevermind
[07:33] <wastrel> mikebot:  i don't think there's an easy way to fix that...  you can use the graphical workspace switcher to move the window back to the other workspace, or you can right-click on the titlebar of the window and select one of the options to move the window to another workspace
[07:34] <idefix> I'm in the removable drives menu
[07:34] <nicholaspaul> wastrel,  just so i'm clear - is domain the name of my LAN?
[07:34] <radar1976> idefix just ignore that
[07:34] <radar1976> sorry
[07:35] <mikebot> wastrel: ah okay
[07:35] <mikebot> wastrel: bjornkri trappist: thanks for all your help, i have to got o class
[07:35] <mikebot> cya later
[07:35] <radar1976> idefix: do you see this line when you type mount /dev/hdb on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=shaun)
[07:35] <Angel_Dex> Um anyone hacing Canada problems with their repos?
[07:35] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  the domain is your local domain name if you have one, i don't think it's necessary to specify it in the resolv.conf
[07:35] <clever`rev> what cmd do i run to install x server headers so i can compile x server programs on ubuntu?
[07:36] <nicholaspaul> wastrel, so in my router settings i named my LAN. Thats my local domain name?
[07:36] <radar1976> k back to my vsftpd
[07:36] <radar1976> any idea why only one user is able to login to the ftp but no one else?
[07:36] <HappyFool> clever`rev: easy option is x-window-system-dev, but that's fairly broad
[07:36] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  use a search line instead of a domain line.   search <lan name>
[07:37] <bons> is ubuntu viable on an older powermac g3?  what kind of performance issues are we talking about here?
[07:37] <nicholaspaul> wastrel,  gotcha. thx
[07:37] <idefix> HappyFool, there are vob, bup and ifo files on the CDROM, which one is the movie?
[07:37] <idefix> (should be DVDROM)
[07:37] <clever`rev> the vob i think
[07:37] <clever`rev> and i used dvdcp to get them off
[07:38] <wastrel> bons:  what cpu speed & how much ram?
[07:38] <HappyFool> idefix: i'm not sure, sorry
[07:38] <idefix> clever`rev?
[07:38] <clever`rev> i installed a package called dvdcp
[07:38] <clever`rev> which let me copy the files from the dvd
[07:38] <nicholaspaul> wastrel, my issue is that i can 'get' to the router (on wifi) and to my local server, but no further.
[07:39] <idefix> to your harddisk? why would you want that?
[07:39] <idefix> all I want is play my DVD
[07:39] <bons> ummm... not sure really. it was a top end g3 back when they were the cutting edge. it has a 6gig hd and around 256ram
[07:39] <clever`rev> because i was bored
[07:39] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  you can ping the router but not, say google?
[07:39] <clever`rev> vlc can play dvds on ubuntu for me
[07:39] <idefix> clever`rev... how can I play my DVD?
[07:39] <nicholaspaul> yes wastrel
[07:39] <idefix> I have vlc installed
[07:39] <clever`rev> once i install the decoding libradis
[07:39] <radar1976> this is what I get
[07:39] <radar1976> 331 Please specify the password.
[07:39] <radar1976> Password:
[07:39] <radar1976> 530 Login incorrect.
[07:39] <radar1976> Login failed.
[07:39] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>   < a google ip address?
[07:39] <clever`rev> for legal reasons they cant be on by default
[07:40] <JoelOl75> anybody have an idea how to fix the mouseover mp3 "preview" in gnome.  Mine just makes a chirp sound on one of 4 ubuntu machine I use.  It used to work perfect.  is mpg321 the problem? or matacity?
[07:40] <ktogias> Hi, Does anybody have a clue of what the message: OIL: ERROR liboiltest.c 247: (): illegal instruction in trans8x8_u16_mmx repeating during various packages installation means?
[07:40] <nicholaspaul> wastrel, no - network is unreachable.
[07:40] <idefix> running one of the vob files with vls doesn't seem to work
[07:40] <idefix> clever`rev
[07:40] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  ok that's not a DNS problem :]
[07:40] <idefix> (see above)
[07:41] <radar1976> :(
[07:41] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  you probably need to set a default gateway
[07:41] <k^^> heh sry abou that clever`rev
[07:41] <idefix> who is k^^???
[07:41] <nicholaspaul> wastrel,  can i do that in a conf somewhere?
[07:41] <me2win> he pinged meh
[07:41] <Drayzee> Hi Everyone
[07:41] <clever`rev> he pinged the whole room
[07:41] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  in the /etc/network/interfaces  or in system > administration > networking
[07:42] <sir_quicken> geese he lagged the room ya mean :p
[07:42] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  set it to the ip of your router
[07:42] <Drayzee> anyone want to answer a few questions about ubuntu?
[07:42] <yggdrasil> wtfs up with #debain
[07:42] <k^^> :)
[07:42] <sir_quicken> k networking question, I can see windows 2000 pc & linux pc between both pc's BUT I cannot login..
[07:42] <clever`rev> ahh
[07:43] <clever`rev> it must default to the current window as a target
[07:43] <nicholaspaul> wastrel, that has gateway set to my router ip
[07:43] <sir_quicken> says username or pass is wrong even though iys right
[07:43] <sir_quicken> its*
[07:43] <idefix> so I guess I'll never be able to play a DVDrom from my DVD rom player which I bought in Germany in the year 2000
[07:43] <k^^> clever`rev: I guess, just thought it would ping the server
[07:43] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  if you do  "route"  at the command line ,  do you see your router address as the "default" ?
[07:43] <clever`rev> that would be /quote ping 123
[07:43] <wastrel> Drayzee:  we won't know unless you ask them.
[07:44] <Drayzee> thanks
[07:44] <sir_quicken> I need help networking.. I can see both pc's but cannot access them
[07:44] <nicholaspaul> wastrel, no its '*'
[07:44] <Drayzee> I'm new to linux, I want to install netscape
[07:44] <Drayzee> It won't let me run the installer
[07:44] <sir_quicken> says its wrong username or pass but the username & pass are correct
[07:44] <sir_quicken> lol
[07:44] <Drayzee> I think because I don't have admin privlidges
[07:44] <sir_quicken> rune firefox
[07:45] <Drayzee> I want netscape
[07:45] <wastrel> ubotu tell drayzee about sudo
[07:45] <sir_quicken> lol cus netscape is a windows thing
[07:45] <idefix> radar1976?
[07:45] <zielony> Hello how can I send whole folder through console based ftp ? put folder/* dont work
[07:45] <idefix> are you still there?
[07:45] <nicholaspaul> Drayzee, the easiest way to install is to use Synaptic. It will grab all the dependancies for you.
[07:45] <HappyFool> !tell Drayzee about sudo
[07:45] <wastrel> Drayzee:  use sudo to get admin privilidges  check the howto link ubotu sent you
[07:45] <Drayzee> ok, thanks
[07:45] <ktogias> zielony, tried mput ?
[07:45] <wastrel> nicholaspaul:  join #flood and show me what route is telling you
[07:45] <sir_quicken> can ne1 help me with networkign security & accessing both machnines?
[07:46] <nicholaspaul> wastrel, k
[07:46] <Drayzee> I own a computer retail store and want to start shipping ubutu on some systems, hope I don't become a pain :-)
[07:46] <Demigod> its netscape still running?
[07:46] <sir_quicken> your better off using firefix its like netscape only better
[07:46] <sir_quicken> firefox*
[07:47] <HappyFool> Drayzee: i'd recommend using standard apps for your customers (e.g., firefox, not netscape); they'll find support more easily that way. For your own use is your own business, of course ;)
[07:47] <sir_quicken> that is what I said :p
[07:47] <Drayzee> Firefox has no mail or newsgroups built in, If I want an os to tell me what to run, I'll pick windows.. That is why I'm trying to use ubutu
[07:47] <JoelOl75> Mozilla is alot like netscape,  a little to heavy IMO
[07:48] <trappist> Drayzee: well said.
[07:48] <zielony> mput codcenter/class2.php? y
[07:48] <zielony> 200 PORT command successful
[07:48] <zielony> 553-Can't open that file: No such file or directory
[07:48] <zielony> 553 Rename/move failure: No such file or directory
[07:48] <zielony> ktogias:
[07:48] <nicholaspaul> wastrel, I just posted
[07:48] <nalioth> zeedo: please don't paste in here, use a pastebin
[07:48] <sir_quicken> firefox owns netscape IE & others
[07:48] <idefix> dammit
[07:48] <sir_quicken> NAYWAY can someoen help me?
[07:48] <Drayzee> I'm not a newb, been at pc's since b4 windows. I want to learn ubutu in a bad way
[07:48] <HappyFool> Drayzee: ubuntu comes with evolution, which is quite a capable e-mail client. Another advantage of using standard (ubuntu-supplied) apps is that security fixes will be made available and easily installable.
[07:48] <nalioth> zielony: pastebins are wonderful to use, please don't paste in here
[07:48] <zielony> k
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> esp. when its a paste that tells us very little. :P
[07:49] <sir_quicken> as have I my first pc was a commadore 64
[07:49] <idefix> radar1976?
[07:49] <idefix> are you there?
[07:49] <nxvl> is there a problem with the ubuntu servers??
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> sir_quicken,  i still have several of those
[07:49] <idefix> is there anyone else who can help me get my DVD station runing?
[07:49] <Drayzee> Take care, and thanks, I'm off to the how to link, Thanks again
[07:49] <Demigod> i dont like ubuntu as a server
[07:49] <ktogias> zielony, try lftp console ftp client... It is much more powerfull and has a command named mirror that does what you want.
[07:49] <sir_quicken> Is there anyone who can help me network a win2k & linux system together
[07:49] <JoelOl75> what DVD problem?  I use MPlayer with no probs on Ubuntu
[07:50] <B_166-ER-X> FATAL: Module uhci not found.   , can someone help ?    uhci is not a package in the repos
[07:50] <Demigod> i preffer to use novell or suse as server
[07:50] <sir_quicken> I am using the samba share
[07:50] <idefix> ok let me download MPlayer then...
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> sir_quicken,  define 'network' :P what networking fetures are you trying to do?
[07:50] <sir_quicken> share files
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> sir_quicken,  ahh.. samba configuration :P
[07:50] <sir_quicken> we can see each other just cant access it
[07:50] <sir_quicken> i am having problem with the login
[07:51] <nxvl> im making apt-get update and im getting 501 error
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> sir_quicken,  for the windows box to access the homes on ubuntu. i DO belive you must run 'sudo smbpasswd -a LinuxUserName' for each linux user.
[07:51] <Demigod> sir_quicken i am having problem with the login<--- graphical loggin?
[07:51] <sir_quicken> my logs say invalid username or pass but ther correct
[07:51] <nxvl> breezy server btw
[07:51] <rem_> Hey .. whatx the syntax in xchat to join automatically serveral channels at start ..
[07:51] <rem_> ?
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> sir_quicken,  also by default the home shares are read only.  a quick edit of the samba.conf and restarting samba will fix that.
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> rem_,  #channels1,#channels2
[07:52] <sir_quicken> No login period, the linux system accesses win2k system just sasy invalid username or apss
[07:52] <rem_> i tried that it didnt work ..
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> rem_,  it does work. i do it all the time
[07:52] <rem_> it opened a channel #channel1,#channel2
[07:52] <rem_> ok lemme try that again ..
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> rem_,  i am refering to the 'autojoin' server entry. let me double check
[07:52] <sir_quicken> I am using the kde desktop now, I know where 2 set the permissions & it still doesnt work
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> rem_,  in my channels to join i have -->  #ubuntu,#ubuntu+1,#linux,#linuxhelp
[07:54] <idefix> JoelOl75 can you also play DVD's with VLC?
[07:54] <JoelOl75> i think so but never tried it out...
[07:54] <idefix> you can play avi's...
[07:54] <sir_quicken> ok I am logging into root this no access bs getting on my nerves
[07:54] <idefix> why not DVD's?
[07:54] <sir_quicken> you can but you need the codex for it
[07:55] <sir_quicken> codec*
[07:55] <idefix> where do I get this codec?
[07:55] <sir_quicken> I got same error whne running a dvd
[07:55] <Drayzee> sorry to ask again, but I can't seem to find the howto link? Is it to a website or a file in my computer?
[07:55] <sir_quicken> not sure, you can try searching it for linux
[07:55] <sir_quicken> I gotta figurethat out myself
[07:55] <idefix> google dvd linux codec then
[07:55] <sir_quicken> figure out*
[07:56] <sir_quicken> thast what I gunna do
[07:56] <idefix> how many types of movie files are there?
[07:57] <idefix> dozens?

[07:57] <idefix> I wish I could take the red pill

[07:58] <sir_quicken> try searching for codec's for the linux program that runs dvd's
[07:58] <blekos> hello ppl
[07:58] <harfooz> idefix, do you want the quick answer for how to get dvd's to play on Ubuntu?
[07:58] <blekos> is it possible to remove the kernel image without np?
[07:58] <GutterPunk> Hello
[07:59] <sir_quicken> I hate the gnome interface :(
[07:59] <GutterPunk> I'm new to ubuntu. I'm trying to install the Xgl server
[07:59] <wastrel> !xgl
[07:59] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[07:59] <GutterPunk> But apt-get can't find the package "compiz" which I need
[07:59] <idefix> harfooz, yes!
[07:59] <harfooz> ok -- hang on....
[07:59] <GutterPunk> thanks :)
[08:00] <sir_quicken> Must I login to root for every little thing? or can I set my account as root access also?
[08:00] <JoelOl75> X running as root = bad
[08:00] <idefix> harfooz, what are you doing?
[08:01] <idefix> great, another dude who is pulling my leg
[08:02] <GutterPunk> Errm I'm using Breezy Badger now... is it easy to upgrade to Dapper or what's the name?
[08:02] <harfooz> idefix, I opened a dialog with you -- are you not seeing it?
[08:02] <HappyFool> !dapper
[08:02] <ubotu> I heard dapper is pre-release name for next edition of Ubuntu, release name 6.04. Due 20th April. It is Development Software - May Break! >/join #ubuntu+1< for IRC Use  http://tinyurl.com/rtgxo for easy updates
[08:02] <idefix> no I only see radar1976
[08:03] <JoelOl75> idefix, try MPlayer, it doesn't support dvd menus, just run the movie, and the config out of the box needs tweaking (alsa for sound, xv for scren) but command line mplayer dvd:// will play the movie
[08:03] <idefix> are you registered?
[08:03] <ricardo_> when i try to install kubuntu-desktop allways occur this error : imposible to optain http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openexr/libopenexr2c2_1.2.2-3ubuntu1_i386.deb

[08:03] <harfooz> how about now?
[08:04] <harfooz> sheesh.

[08:05] <h36sa> hi.. is anyone running enlightenment-17? I really like it but the only repository (deb http://soulmachine.net/breezy unstable/) is built in october.. really buggy
[08:06] <h36sa> wondering if anyone knows a better one
[08:06] <harfooz> idefix, yep.
[08:06] <harfooz> I use the repos that are on the web page I sent you, idefix
[08:06] <harfooz> idefix, then follow these instructions to get all the necessary codecs:
[08:06] <[A] ndy80> I'm trying to use "bluepin" utility, but when I run it, it prints ERR and quits. How can I check what kind of error happens?
[08:07] <idefix> the sources.list file is in the /etc/apt directory
[08:07] <harfooz> idefix, http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[08:07] <naddar> i downloaded that sun java prog but this is a .bin how i can install that
[08:07] <ricardo_> how can i install kubuntu-desktop?
[08:07] <harfooz> idefix, when that finishes do this: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
[08:07] <sanitarium> fix my graphics .. whats the command xorgsetup ?
[08:07] <sanitarium> or what
[08:08] <harfooz> then you can play DVDs with whatever you please ;-)
[08:08] <hacknslash> ricardo: edit sources list
[08:08] <lullabud> sanitarium: dexconfig ?
[08:08] <sanitarium> lullabud, thanx
[08:08] <lullabud> sanitarium: dexconf just writes out a new xorg.conf file against what's already been configured during setup
[08:09] <lullabud> sanitarium: you may need to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:09] <hacknslash> uncomment universe
[08:09] <idefix> harfooz, do I have to type all those sudo apt-get install commands?! :o
[08:09] <sanitarium> lullabud, says command not found
[08:09] <naddar> 4!java
[08:09] <sanitarium> lullabud, thats it
[08:09] <naddar> !java
[08:09] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[08:09] <sanitarium> i forget me debian
[08:10] <idefix> there are nine sudo apt-get install commands!
[08:10] <borrega> HOLA
[08:10] <nickrud> idefix: no, you can put all the packages on one line
[08:11] <naddar> fuck how can i install that java pfff
[08:11] <JoelOl75> ide fix, you can use Synaptic and search it out.. libdvdcss2 slipped my mind

[08:11] <idefix> harfooz, usually I have the idefix_ account, that's why I couldn't talk with you in a dialog window
[08:11] <Gopi> any good TV viewing software other than xawtv and mythtv..... ?? Because in xawtv I am not able to record programs whereas mythtv Iam struglling to install it(I mean its not getting installed)
[08:11] <Deramin> got an interesting message when I started ubuntu today:
[08:11] <Deramin> [configuring network interfaces]
[08:11] <Deramin> [4294790.438000]  ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting....
[08:11] <Deramin> and then it just continued the boot. But I've been having issues with [configuring network interfaces]  for a while. takes forever when it gets to that stage so I usually just ctrl+c to skip it. could this be what's giving be grief? and what does the error mean?
[08:11] <idefix> but I guess the idefix user has disaapeared
[08:12] <wastrel> Deramin:  restarting probably means the ipw2200 module is restarting.
[08:13] <nickrud> idefix: if you are registered as idefix, that was probably you; /help ghost ;)
[08:13] <Deramin> wastrel: hello again wastrel XD. Figured as much when it continued, but what does the rest of the error mean?
[08:13] <JoelOl75> tvtime is only slightly less terse than xaw
[08:13] <Frnk_> Hi! I have problems changing my terminal keymap, I cant set it to norwegian, now its utf-8 :/

[08:15] <Frnk_> nickrud: ok. i'll try
[08:15] <Gopi> JoelOl75: And also I am not able to change channels !
[08:15] <nickrud> Frnk_: that's for the terminal console, I'm not sure about it's effect in a gnome-terminal
[08:16] <Gopi> JoelOl75: Cant find any settings in it...
[08:16] <JoelOl75> what card ya using? I had no trouble with bt878 chipset
[08:16] <jerry> hi room
[08:16] <GutterPunk> HappyFool, I'm trying the upgrade tool from the site but at "Modifying the software channels" it behaves funny... It's always saying "Downloading file 19 of 20 blabla" but there's no progress. And it does this over and over again...
[08:16] <Deramin> So no one else has ideas on my firmware error?
[08:16] <Gopi> JoelOl75: I am using Pinnacle PCTV Pro.....
[08:16] <ricardo_> How can i install kubuntu-desktop?

[08:16] <nickrud> Frnk_: no, just close a terminal and start another
[08:16] <pontifex> ubuntu_ does "cat /etc/issue" tell you?

[08:17] <enz0_> anyone know how to extract a cpio archive?
[08:17] <hacknslash> rsyncx, i think maybe the archives are offline
[08:17] <JoelOl75> Gopi I never messed with the settings in tvtime... it just worked, autoscanned the channels.. ect... sorry
[08:17] <Frnk_> nickrud: strange it didnt work..
[08:18] <ubuntu_> sorry guys... none were right...
[08:18] <HappyFool> enz0_: have you read 'man cpio' ?
[08:18] <Frnk_> tested in irssi, just got strange letters
[08:18] <Gopi> JoelOl75: What type of system? 64 bit ?
[08:18] <enz0_> I've tried '-i -M -d' but keep getting unexpected end of archive or whatever
[08:18] <ubuntu_> both say dapper and development release and such. but nothing about the exact flight number
[08:18] <fangorious> is there a tool to adjust the orientation of the displayed image on the screent? I have a laptop and there is a one pixel line of solid white at the bottom of my screen.
[08:18] <ubuntu_> cause I suspect this is a bit old...
[08:18] <nickrud> Frnk_: I wasn't sure; also try System-Pref-Keyboard, Layout tab, add button

[08:18] <_Uwo_> hi all: just installed new icon theme - love it - but in the window list and desktop switcher i still see original icons. is it difficult to change this to use the new theme?
[08:18] <Gopi> JoelOl75: And initially it asks options like Europe or Custom scan... which one you selected ?
[08:18] <Frnk_> nickrud: ok, thanks for the help anyway :D
[08:19] <hacknslash> anyone running dapper on a laptop
[08:19] <fangorious> hacknslash: i am
[08:19] <hacknslash> is it ok no probs
[08:19] <nickrud> Frnk_: I've seen this question asked before and not answered, so I took a stab
[08:19] <hacknslash> flight 3 or 4
[08:19] <JoelOl75> custom.... I know if you right click you can set PAL or NTSC in there.... Maybe your prob??
[08:19] <fangorious> hacknslash: depends on your hardware

[08:20] <ricardo_> hey someone can help me to install kubuntu?
[08:20] <rsyncx> hacknslash: i want to install postgresql 8, but it doesn't show up in search
[08:20] <Gopi> JoelOl75: When I right click nothing is happening !  :(
[08:20] <nickrud> ricardo_: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[08:20] <fangorious> hacknslash: I have an Ati Mobility FireGL v5000 in mine which is supported pretty well. I can suspend, hibernate hasn't worked yet
[08:20] <Gopi> JoelOl75: And how do u change channels ?
[08:20] <JoelOl75> ?  I'm not on that computer now so i can't test it out... Its been awhile
[08:20] <jakl> hi, im trying to update ubuntu with apt-get update but i get an error when it tries to download certain sources, it stays stuck at 99% and can't finish...is it possible i don't have the good source adresses or something?
[08:20] <fangorious> hacknslash: dbus doesn't give me desktop icons for hard drive partitions mounted under /media
[08:21] <rsyncx> anyone running postgresql 8? is there package in the repository?
[08:21] <Gopi> JoelOl75: ok np... and do u use any other applications ?
[08:21] <hacknslash> fangorious, wireless ok?
[08:21] <fangorious> hacknslash: overall it works pretty well for me, but I can't vouch for your laptop. try posting in the dapper forum on ubuntuforums.org
[08:21] <nickrud> jakl: possibly; could you put /etc/apt/sources.list on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[08:21] <ricardo_> nickrud: i do it with apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, but allways present this error, imposible to optain http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openexr/libopenexr2c2_1.2.2-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
[08:21] <fangorious> hacknslash: ipw2200, works great. network-manager doesn't do vpn/wpa yet though
[08:21] <harfooz> idefix -- sorry I had someone here in the office. But yes, you do need to install those files to be sure that you can play anything that comes along (dvd or on the web).
[08:22] <JoelOl75> I'm trying to get Myth up with a Hauppagge PVR-500 card and a aTI remote wonder....  Not much luck with that :!
[08:22] <fangorious> hacknslash: there's an unofficial deb to add vpnc to network-manager, haven't tried it. wpasupplicant worked fine when I tried it
[08:22] <jakl> well i took the sources from here; http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[08:23] <harfooz> idefix, you can of course combine *all* those into one apt-get install command like this:
[08:23] <bungle_> !bluetooth
[08:23] <ubotu> bluetooth is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BluetoothSetup
[08:23] <jakl> its stuck while getting the multiverse ackage
[08:23] <harfooz> apt-get install pkgname1 pckname2 blah blah blah
[08:23] <hacknslash> think i'll do a back up then chance it
[08:23] <bungle_> !irda
[08:23] <ubotu> bungle_: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[08:23] <nicholaspaul> Q: I have a script i want to run at startup... where do i call it from?
[08:23] <Gopi> JoelOl75: ok
[08:23] <nickrud> ricardo_: strange, I could get it with wget
[08:24] <hacknslash> ricardo_, have you edited the sources list ?
[08:24] <Syco54645> what do i need to install for the wxwidgits?
[08:24] <nickrud> jakl: not a very good source
[08:24] <nickrud> !sources
[08:24] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[08:24] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: /etc/init.d/rcS would work. Or you could put it in /etc/init.d and symlink to it from /etc/rc?.d to mix it in with the rest of the services
[08:25] <jakl> nickrud: thanks
[08:25] <nicholaspaul> fangorious, you mean just put the script in the direcotry /etc/init.d ?
[08:25] <Creeture> Have any of you ever seen a cron daemon that is meant for a distributed environment? i.e. cron runs as root on a bunch of machines reading a common crontab file?
[08:26] <nickrud> nicholaspaul: a common place to put a needed script is to call it from /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[08:27] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: ^^ is easiest
[08:27] <trappist> I'm pretty sure the "right" way to do it is mkdir /etc/rc.boot and drop your script(s) in there
[08:27] <bSON> hi
[08:27] <nicholaspaul> so many ways to skin a cat...
[08:27] <nickrud> nicholaspaul: fangorious's & trappists are best
[08:27] <bSON> how can you tell the ubuntu eclipse to use another jre than gij?
[08:27] <trappist> /etc/init.d/rcS:[ -d /etc/rc.boot ]  && run-parts /etc/rc.boot
[08:28] <nickrud> trappist: what sources /etc/rc.boot?
[08:28] <nickrud> too quick, trappist ;)
[08:28] <Creeture> bSON: man update-alternatives
[08:29] <MasterC> my GRUB is loading VERY slow (20 seconds or so) on a fast machine
[08:29] <wastrel> freenx isn't working :p
[08:29] <MasterC> this was always so on this machine... :-/
[08:29] <nickrud> trappist: hm, only problem with that is not everything needed for a particular script is sure to be running at that point
[08:29] <MasterC> with any OS
[08:29] <nicholaspaul> trappist, nickrud i'll try making that directory, rc.boot. See whath appens :)
[08:29] <marc_> HELP! When I boot, it freezes at it tries to synchronize the clock.  I now am forced to boot in "recovery mode" and then exit.   What should I do?
[08:30] <nicholaspaul> can i put it somewhere so its the last thing to run?
[08:30] <rsyncx> why is archive offline
[08:30] <rsyncx> is
[08:30] <Syco54645> what is the command to make a debian file from source?  i have forgotten what it was.
[08:30] <MasterC> I have a P4 3.0 HT with 512 MB RAM, should be fast enough for GRUB ;)
[08:31] <MasterC> no errors, but It takes 20 and more seconds to load...
[08:31] <MasterC> should be done in max. 1 second
[08:31] <nicholaspaul> Syco54645, you thinking 'sudo dpkg -i filename.deb' ?
[08:31] <MasterC> any idea?
[08:31] <marc_> HELP! When I boot, it freezes as it tries to synchronize the clock.  I now am forced to boot in "recovery mode" and then exit.   What should I do?  Is there a way to remove this step in the boot?
[08:31] <nicholaspaul> Syco54645, no.. sorry! Forget i said that...
[08:31] <Syco54645> nicholaspaul: no i am compiling sources.  i just finished the make.  what is the command to run now to make the deb file
[08:31] <trappist> nickrud: good point.  I don't know where in the boot process rc.boot gets sourced.
[08:32] <Syco54645> nicholaspaul: thats ok.  i already knew what that did
[08:32] <fangorious> trappist: nickrud rcS runs before /etc/rc?.d, right?
[08:32] <nicholaspaul> Syco54645,  just trying to help where /if I can :)
[08:32] <JoelOl75> marc: does hitting ctrl-c break past it or is it a hard lock
[08:32] <trappist> fangorious: don't know
[08:32] <Syco54645> nicholaspaul: dont worry about it, no harm done
[08:32] <nicholaspaul> thx for being gracious Syco54645
[08:32] <nickrud> nicholaspaul: put a script in /etc/init.d/, and sudo update-rc.d defaults 99
[08:32] <trappist> fangorious: actually yes, according to inittab
[08:33] <Creeture> Syco54645: Do you have the appropriate debian/ directory and structure in the source directory or is this something that didn't have a package already?
[08:33] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: to set order, you put the script in /etc/init.d, then create a symlink in the runlevel you want it to run it
[08:33] <nicholaspaul> fangorious,  is tha tthe same as nickrud's answer?
[08:33] <nickrud> nicholaspaul: um sudo update-alternatives <scriptname> defaults 99
[08:33] <nickrud> nicholaspaul: yes, pretty much
[08:33] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: for example, ln -s /etc/init.d/myscript /etc/rc2.d/S99myscript
[08:33] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: that will have myscript run at '99' in runlevel two
[08:34] <Syco54645> Creeture: it is something that didnt already have a package.  it is the program comical and i just built it from source
[08:34] <fangorious> you can look in /etc/rc2.d to see what order things start, and pick where you want yours to run
[08:34] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: using K99myscript instead of S99myscript will have myscript stopped at 99 instead of started
[08:34] <nickrud> typo, typos, typos. nicholaspaul: sudo update-rc.d  <scriptname> defaults 99 (I need to read before enter on actual commands )
[08:34] <Creeture> Syco54645: Look into the app called "checkinstall". Instead of running make install, run checkinstall and it'll do all of that for you.
[08:34] <idefix> Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:34] <idefix> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:34] <idefix> is only available from another source
[08:34] <idefix> E: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate
[08:34] <idefix>  is this a problem??
[08:34] <deefzi> my opera refuses to show flash-videos when i run it through alsa-oss, why? if i start opera normally, everything runs smoothly
[08:35] <Syco54645> Creeture: that is it.  i couldnt remember.  thanks
[08:35] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: to go that route, though. I think you're script needs to support being called with 'start' or 'stop' as a command line parameter
[08:35] <nickrud> idefix: normal, since it's not in the repos
[08:36] <nicholaspaul> can i just add it to 'Sessions', fangorious ?
[08:36] <rsyncx> I can't see postgresql-8.0 package, is there a reason?
[08:36] <nickrud> idefix: normal, since It's not in the repos
[08:36] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: that will run it when you log in, rather than when the system boots
[08:36] <nickrud> !w3codecs
[08:36] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, nickrud
[08:36] <rsyncx> i can't install it, either
[08:36] <nickrud> !w32codecs
[08:36] <ubotu> I guess w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[08:36] <sprizz> i have trouble connecting to services with naim
[08:36] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: and only when you log into gnome, at that
[08:36] <nicholaspaul> fangorious,  the script just sets up network interface settings...
[08:36] <idefix> nickrud, now what? how do I play my DVD's?
[08:36] <nickrud> !libdvdcss
[08:36] <ubotu> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu. You may need libdvdcss2, which is available via http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages (section extras)
[08:37] <nicholaspaul> fangorious, oooohhhh so no good when logging into kde / fluxbox? hmmm
[08:37] <rsyncx> !postgresql
[08:37] <ubotu> I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, rsyncx
[08:37] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: is it something that the existing networking support can't handle?
[08:37] <wastrel> anyone know why freenx server isn't letting me connect?
[08:38] <nicholaspaul> fangorious,  not really, but i've been having problems with Networking. My interface seems alot happier if I use the command line. (airport + Dapper..)
[08:38] <nickrud> idefix: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats will get you nearly everything for running non-free media, without putting in stray sources
[08:40] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: just so I know I'm not giving you bad info, what were you referring to by 'Sessions'. I took it to mean the app that loads from going to System->Preferences->Sessions in Gnome
[08:41] <nicholaspaul> fangorious,  yea, thats exactly what I meant. I"m finding tho that I'm learning way more about how to configure my system by using command lines and scripts - besides, its geekily-good fun!!
[08:42] <fangorious> :)
[08:42] <Raph> Good evening everyone
[08:42] <fangorious> nicholaspaul: setting something there will only affect logging into gnome
[08:42] <nickrud> nicholaspaul: putting the network command into /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh will work, since it's run after networking is set up
[08:42] <fangorious> evenin'
[08:42] <nicholaspaul> fangorious,  ahh gotcha. (nickrud)
[08:42] <sprizz> I am having trouble connecting to services with naim, can anyone help?
[08:43] <ara> is there an ubuntu dev channel ?
[08:43] <jakl> how/where can i change the buffer size of the terminal window in ubuntu 5.10 ?

[08:43] <nicholaspaul> nickrud, restarting to see if it stuck :)
[08:43] <nickrud> nicholaspaul: if the script is good, it should work
[08:44] <rsyncx> hi when archive will be back up?
[08:44] <nickrud> ara: #ubuntu-devel

[08:45] <rsyncx> yes
[08:45] <rsyncx> but archive doesn't respone

[08:47] <MasterC> how can I set the bootflag for a partition AFTER the installation?
[08:47] <rsyncx> anyone elese has problem accessing archive?
[08:47] <Raph> boot up with a CD and use fdisk
[08:47] <soundray> MasterC: with any partitioner, e.g. cfdisk.
[08:47] <Raph> I think you can swith boot flag with 'a'
[08:47] <MasterC> thank you
[08:48] <fangorious> MasterC: if grub at least comes up, you can add the 'setactive' command and then use fdisk or parted to make it permanent
[08:48] <skazi> Hello! Wanted to ask after trying to install all kinds of p2p share fiiles for linux on ubuntu nothing seems to work, wanted to ask if there is any Ubuntu known working app p2p file share program? :O
[08:48] <rsyncx> can anyone try apt-get update
[08:48] <Belgain> quick question... i need to make sure that a certain module gets loaded with extra parameters - how can i make sure this happens at boot time?
[08:48] <rsyncx> it seems to time out on me
[08:48] <salah_> hi, can i download mplayer by synaptic?
[08:48] <Raph> Azureus = torrent over java
[08:48] <soundray> fangorious: is the bootable flag actually still useful for anything?
[08:49] <Seveas> !tell salah_ about mplayer
[08:49] <fangorious> soundray: yes, dual-boot
[08:49] <nicholaspaul> nickrud, fangorious trappist IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS!
[08:49] <Belgain> i.e. i need "modprobe ehci_hcd log2_irq_thresh=4" rather than just "modprobe ehci_hcd"...
[08:49] <MasterC> how can I apply the changes in cfdisk?
[08:49] <sprizz> rsyncx, i updated a few minutes ago, seemed fine
[08:49] <sprizz> rsyncx: i can try again
[08:49] <salah_> Actually I have failedto do that . Can Idownload fromsynaptic??
[08:49] <wastrel> i followed the wiki's freenx howto, but can't connect to the server - i set the log level to warnings, but the log is still empty - any ideas to troubleshoot this?
[08:49] <nickrud> nicholaspaul: and, you've learned how ubuntu starts nearly *everything*
[08:50] <soundray> fangorious: does it make a difference if you are dual-booting with grub?
[08:50] <rsyncx> i get : 99% [Connecting to ca.archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[08:50] <Raph> I would need some help with twinview : Gnome recognises it as a double side screen but my second screen just won't turn on. Anyone could give me a hand ?
[08:50] <fangorious> soundray: yes, mostly for Windows
[08:50] <nicholaspaul> nickrud, fangorious trappist thx for your help guys. I'm so happy that i finally got wifi working at startup - airport extreme + dapper too.. :)

[08:52] <fangorious> azureus.sf.net
[08:52] <salah_> does anyone knows how can i download mplayer by synaptic?
[08:52] <nickrud> enz0_: evo uses the normal file associations that gnome uses; right click a pdf and select properties -> open with tab
[08:52] <skazi> Thanks!
[08:52] <nickrud> !mplayer

[08:59] <LjL> Seveas: i guess :)
[08:59] <lsuactiafner> can hoary handle 5.1 sound with no extra configuration?
[08:59] <DistroWatch> any guide for securying the ubuntu box ?
[08:59] <lsuactiafner> DistroWatch : it is secure
[09:00] <LjL> DistroWatch: ubuntu is relatively secure by default, as it's got very few services running
[09:00] <DistroWatch> lsuactiafner :) no it aint enough
[09:00] <Raph> Any Xorg guru around ?
[09:00] <me2win> ask your question, maybe somebody can help
[09:00] <lsuactiafner> if you want a locked down server run a minimal system with grsecurity and almost no services
[09:00] <DistroWatch> lsuactiafner soon you run web server an mail servers and stuff aint that secure anymore
[09:00] <soundray> DistroWatch: I guess that a lot of what is said in "Securing Debian" applies. Cf. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/
[09:00] <idefix> so instead of executing apt-get commands you could also type stuff in the /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[09:01] <LjL> yeah i was just going to type !hardened, ubotu has that guide
[09:01] <DistroWatch> soundray cheers
[09:01] <lsuactiafner> DistroWatch : then go read up if you current version of server xyz is secure
[09:01] <LjL> idefix: not really
[09:01] <LjL> idefix: /etc/apt/sources.list is the place there the APT system *looks* for its configuration
[09:01] <fangorious> idefix: sources.list just tells apt-get where to look
[09:01] <nalioth> aliens, huh. no wonder.
[09:02] <soundray> DistroWatch: and always remember to buckle up ;)
[09:02] <lsuactiafner> can hoary handle 5.1 sound with no extra configuration? what needs to be done after i plug my new speakers in?
[09:03] <DistroWatch> soundray  :) try to
[09:03] <Raph> using lspci I see my AGP card on PCI:01:00:00 but should I define it as AGP:01:00:00 in xorg.conf (my second monitor don't want to turn on as twinview seems to be configured correctly)
[09:03] <fangorious> lsuactiafner: have you tried posting in the hardware support: sound & video forum on ubuntuforums.org?
[09:04] <lsuactiafner> fangorious : no i'm gettin speakers friday and want to know if its going to be a problem for me
[09:04] <fangorious> Raph, I would set it as PCI:01:00:00
[09:04] <progrock> Is there any software for playing TV with an ATI AIW card?
[09:04] <lsuactiafner> there should be several ppl here with 5.1 sounds
[09:04] <Raph> fangorious, ok. Problem is not coming from that line then
[09:05] <fangorious> progrock: have you tried tvtim?
[09:05] <Hairulfr> Hi all
[09:05] <progrock> fangorious, nope... ws just inquiring.. since im about to install ubuntu on my desktop
[09:06] <fangorious> progrock: er, tvtime. i'm not claiming it will work with the AiW, but it's what I would start with
[09:06] <kimo> I installed using debootstrap. Now my kernel can't mount my LVM / partition. Any guru wanna help with this please ?
[09:07] <progrock> fangorious, ok, thanks.. .was hoping someoen could point me in a direction.. whether it be the right one or not, lol
[09:08] <bobbyd> hi
[09:09] <fangorious> progrock: do you know what chipset it uses?
[09:09] <bobbyd> I have a source in the form: http://www.estudiolivre.org/videos/lives/ubuntu/breezy/ binary-i386/ how do i add that to sources.list ?
[09:09] <Hairulfr> I'm currently downloading ubuntu for PPC, and I'd like to know wether it configures the Yaboot/bootstrap partition itself - and if it contains a paritioner etc, so I won't have to find a Osx install? Also - updating to KDE 3.5, is it possible through a Yast type tool?
[09:09] <soundray> lsuactiafner: no experience here, but since nobody else is answering: I would expect surround sound to work out of the box on a supported card.
[09:09] <bobbyd> it's from this page: http://lives.sourceforge.net/index.php?do=downloads
[09:09] <Hairulfr> I.e Does it install the bootloader automatically like yellow dog
[09:09] <progrock> fangorious, ummi can probably find out... its the AIW x600
[09:10] <moonman> k
[09:10] <soundray> lsuactiafner: do you not see sliders for the individual speakers in alsamixer?
[09:11] <fangorious> progrock: I know the brooktree chipsets tend to be well supported. but i haven't used a tv tuner in a long time
[09:11] <soundray> Hairulfr: I'm pretty sure it does the yaboot setup for you. On kde, see ubotu:
[09:11] <soundray> !kde3.5
[09:11] <ubotu> (you might want !kde3.5.1) To upgrade to KDE3.5, Follow the instructions at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-35.php (add the deb... line to your sources.list). Then "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".
[09:11] <soundray> !kde3.5.1
[09:11] <ubotu> To upgrade to KDE3.5.1, Follow the instructions at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-351.php (add the deb... line to your sources.list). Then "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".
[09:11] <trappist> lsuactiafner.  so evil.
[09:11] <Hairulfr> soundray: Thanks a lot! figuring out the bootloader on the mac is hell
[09:11] <progrock> fangorious, true.. yeah.. to be honest im not to optimistic, lol.... but it would make it so i could get rid of windows... which would be amazing
[09:12] <chmod775> how do I find the exact match in fgrep
[09:12] <fangorious> well good luck. ubuntuforums.org is a good resource
[09:12] <chmod775> suppose I am search for a keyword in a file called abc
[09:12] <trappist> chmod775: '^string$'
[09:12] <chmod775> fgrep test -e abc
[09:12] <soundray> trappist: am I safer ignoring him?
[09:12] <jerry> excuse me but does any one here have a dell a940?
[09:13] <chmod775> trappist, u mean fgrep test -e '^abc$'
[09:13] <progrock> Lol.. i jsut put a DBAN disk in, thinking it was my ubuntu disk... damn i need a pen that can write on cds, lol
[09:13] <trappist> chmod775: sure
[09:14] <fangorious> chmod775: using the ^ and $ will make it look for a line that is literally just "abc"
[09:14] <chmod775> it's giving me no such file or direc
[09:14] <fangorious> chmod775: ^ matches the start of a line, and $ matches the end
[09:14] <chmod775> I just want the keyword abc from the line
[09:14] <trappist> chmod775: well, so far it sounds like you want egrep, as in egrep '^abc$' test.
[09:15] <trappist> chmod775: oh you don't mean you want to match a line that contains only 'abc'
[09:15] <master_of_master> hi, are there any qt 4.1 packages for breezy?
[09:15] <jerry> dell a940 any one?
[09:15] <chmod775> Yes I have a line and in that line it has a keyword abc
[09:15] <chmod775> Now I want to display only that keyword
[09:15] <trappist> chmod775: -o
[09:16] <chmod775> There may be several lines in that
[09:16] <chmod775> dude not working dude -o
[09:16] <james__> greets
[09:17] <trappist> chmod775: trappist@monk:~$ egrep -o 'abc' test
[09:17] <trappist> abc
[09:17] <chmod775> k
[09:17] <trappist> chmod775: where test contains one line, acbdefg
[09:17] <bubba> hello, i would like to install isa pretty old soundcard with Opti 82C924 chipset. But dont know how. I already tried to install modules from /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/sound/isa/opti9xx but it failed :(.
[09:17] <trappist> chmod775: all this info is in the grep man page.
[09:17] <chmod775> cool
[09:17] <chmod775> I was checking the fgrep man page
[09:17] <_james> brb
[09:17] <_james> apparently i cant have my own name..
[09:17] <_james> heh
[09:19] <progrock> if im running dual boot.. think i should make a seperate boot partition?
[09:20] <soundray> progrock: I can't see any specific advantage of having a separate boot partition in a dual-boot context.
[09:20] <skazi> hmm...where can I find a kazaa clone for linux?
[09:20] <skazi> hmm...where can I find a kazaa for linux?
[09:20] <fangorious> skazi: apollon
[09:20] <progrock> soundray, thanks.. makes sense... i set one up on my laptop, but its not dual boot.. and the whole file system is encrypted.. which i guess is why i need the sperate non encrypted boot
[09:21] <skazi> apllon has a problem...
[09:21] <hackel> Erg, how does update-manager determine when a restart is "required"?  I'm installing all kinds of non-kernel packages that I would -never- restart for in Debian and it's asking me to.  It's very annoying to feel like I'm using Windows!
[09:21] <fangorious> yeah, it does kazaa
[09:21] <skazi> I know but it has A problem connection
[09:21] <skazi> I know but it has A problem connecting
[09:21] <skazi> QGDict::hashKeyString: Invalid null key
[09:22] <skazi> anything else besides apollon?
[09:22] <fangorious> hackel: i think it just errs on the safe side when stuff like dbus.
[09:22] <colm> hackel, i'm suspecting you're using dapper?
[09:22] <progrock> Umm, is there any good bittorrent clients other then azureus?... azureus is acting real funny (maybe jsut becaus ei dontknow how to correctly use it).. but i get a lot of shutdown errors, and lots of stuff disappears and reappears randomly
[09:22] <Eshestun> in order to compile a program that i downloaded (wine) it says i have to navigate to the dir.. soo since im new to linux i did a little reading and i found cd is the command...   i know the dir is filesystem/usr/bin but i cant seem to navigate to that dir in the terminal... can anyone help?
[09:22] <hackel> colm:  Yes.
[09:22] <progrock> Eshestun, cd /usr/bin
[09:22] <hackel> fangorious:  Ahh, yes for dbus I would think it should pop up and tell you to restart your x server perhaps but not the whole machine.
[09:23] <Eshestun> hmm thnx
[09:23] <lsuactiafner> can hoary handle 5.1 sound easily with no extra configuration? what needs to be done after i plug my new speakers in?
[09:23] <soundray> hackel, I noticed this feature of upgrade-manager in dapper. Does it do it in breezy, too?
[09:23] <doro> so is there an app to run mp3s?
[09:23] <abhinav> pvm not working on ubuntu.any idea?
[09:23] <anti_social> hi people
[09:23] <Eshestun> and when i type that in it says no such dir exsist :S
[09:23] <abhinav> Pl. help me out
[09:23] <hackel> soundray:  I don't remember now. :)
[09:23] <soundray> lsuactiafner: are you ignoring me?
[09:23] <fangorious> hackel: restarting X wouldn't restart dbus I wouldn't think. and restarting dbus has a tendency to kill some notification area apps
[09:24] <progrock> Oh, one f my techers brought up "cross over office"... but i cant find much information about it... can anyone point me in the right direction?
[09:24] <anti_social> have anyone had any problem on detecting EPSON CX 3500 or similars using Dapper Drake Flight 4? Should anyone help me to solve this?
[09:24] <skazi> anything else besides apollon?
[09:24] <Eshestun> cd usr/bin dosent work.. it says dir dosent exsist... i know it does because im looking at it -_-
[09:24] <bubba> hmmm nobody knows :(
[09:24] <fangorious> progrock: just google codeweavers
[09:24] <hackel> fangorious:  Right but dpkg can restart dbus and then tell you to restart X to get your notification area apps working again.
[09:24] <fangorious> progrock: OpenOffice probably handles most of what you would need, though
[09:24] <progrock> thanks
[09:24] <lsuactiafner> soundray : no, didnt see my nick used anywhere
[09:24] <abhinav> not able to add hosts on pvm.Pl help.Anyone?
[09:24] <fangorious> hackel: true. i don't think it does right now though
[09:24] <lcore> Eshestun,  try "cd /usr/bin"
[09:25] <lsuactiafner> oh i saw now
[09:25] <bubba> i plug the isa sound card to the isa slot, but i cannot detect it :(
[09:25] <progrock> fangorious, yeah i figured.... but i have the teachers that want MSoffice docs only... and if im not mistaken corssover office will create documents closer to that
[09:25] <Eshestun> ty very much  lcore... that worked.... i think i got the hang of this now :)
[09:25] <Eshestun> i suck at syntax lol
[09:26] <Angel_Dex> how do i setup openduke? i cant seem to find its folder to put the .grp file in
[09:26] <Protocol1> you can use openoffice too
[09:26] <lcore> Eshestun, np. The root filesystem is that first "/". "cd usr/bin" would change to current_dir/usr/bin.
[09:26] <fangorious> progrock: crossover will run MS Office. but OpenOffice can create MS Office docs. I've never have anyone know that I created a .doc with OpenOffice rather than Word
[09:26] <anacaona> hello hello
[09:27] <wastrel> the freenx package doesn't set up a working server - any ideas how to get it fixed?
[09:27] <fangorious> openduke? does it opensuck?
[09:27] <abhinav> no one has any idea on pvm
[09:27] <anti_social>  have anyone had any problem on detecting EPSON CX 3500 or similars using Dapper Drake Flight 4? Should anyone help me to solve this?
[09:27] <soundray> hackel, I don't feel as bad as you do about the restart feature. First of all, it doesn't *demand* restarting like MS Win does. Second, it probably makes sense to restart an upgraded machine for non-power ubuntu users (ie. not you).
[09:27] <anacaona> is there any way to restart the font server without restarting x?
[09:27] <anacaona> just installed new fonts.
