[18:23] <z0man> No I have not, I am struggling to find those
[18:23] <Deepthought> exco: Like I said, I did a lot of xorg-conf'ing, but really got the thing going properly with nvidia-settings; the tools I metioned are the equivalent to that; Should work, yes. it should make a new xorg.conf (if you choose to save in the end and not merge with original.   Bets though to first put back ypour original conf (IF YOU BACKED IT UP, i HOPE SO) ELSE DO RECONFIGURE XSERVER FIRST (i DON'T KNOW THE EXACT COMMAND FOR THAT, GOOGLE OR
[18:23] <Deepthought> ASK HERE)
[18:23] <yao_ziyuan> how do i hide a program's window and taskbar button?
[18:23] <soundray> z0man: good. Can you add the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet to one of your panels
[18:23] <s3a> astro76: ill leave it tonight to download since im on dial-up
[18:23] <anirudh0> bjwebb, it cant do too much damage , cant think why your motherboard should care about your hard disk not being there
[18:23] <Deepthought> whooopps, sorry for capslock, folks !
[18:23] <z0man> ok
[18:23] <anirudh0> bjwebb, its running off RAM anyway
[18:23] <robg_> anirudh0: there is far too much experimentation on this channel. We should be aiming for solid production machines not monsters of Frankenstein.
[18:23] <pulse> akincer: are you able to play movie files and whatnot?
[18:23] <s3a> astro76: i have edubuntu 7.10 but it has no live cd option
[18:23] <chv> somebody knows a good Twitter Client running under Linux?
[18:23] <s3a> astro76: edubuntu 7.04*
[18:23] <Rafabe> hey guys, I just formatted and reinstalled, but saved the /var/apt/cache/archives directory. I copied the files back after install, but I can't seem to do "apt-get install X", it still trise to go to the Internet. I don't have Internet on the machine.
[18:23] <z0man> I get an error message
[18:24] <z0man> You will not be able to modify the frequency of your machine.  Your machine may be misconfigured or not have hardware support for CPU frequency scaling.
[18:24] <anirudh0> bjwebb, these are guys who are _willing_ to experiment
[18:24] <anirudh0> bjwebb, sorry
[18:24] <anirudh0> robg, these are guys who are _willing_ to experiment
[18:24] <soundray> z0man: this is an Athlon X2, correct?
[18:24] <s3a> astro76: i have a question bout edubuntu tho...does it actually help like teach u stuff or does it just give u tools to do things wile looking childish?
[18:24] <needhelp> Hi, how do I make restrict users from browsing certain xxx webpages in FireFox ?
[18:24] <anirudh0> robg_, as is clear from bjwebb's response to my warning :)
[18:24] <z0man> correct
[18:25] <z0man> But I installed 32bit ubuntu instead of 64bit
[18:25] <yao_ziyuan> how do i run a program at a specified workspace?
[18:25] <z0man> To avoid alot of library hassles
[18:25] <astro76> s3a: there is a large amount of educational software, including gcompris for the youngsters
[18:25] <soundray> z0man: you should reboot your machine, enter the BIOS setup and ensure that Cool'n'Quiet isn't disabled there
[18:25] <emma> z0man: I believe your choice was prudent.
[18:25] <Broadcom> anirudh0: bazhang: http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/14/Picture 003.jpg
[18:25] <z0man> I believe it is enabled
[18:25] <z0man> I go check though
[18:25] <akincer> pulse: I think so, but I can check. Xine has no video either
[18:25] <bjwebb> anirudh0: lol, im experimenting :D
[18:25] <z0man> brb
[18:25] <s3a> astro76: im almost done highschool...is there anything of my level?
[18:26] <soundray> z0man: 32bit or 64bit don't make a difference -- the generic Ubuntu kernel supports C'n'Q on both
[18:26] <eth01> http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/14/Picture003.jpg
[18:26] <anirudh0> s3a, a very vague question
[18:26] <eth01> no spaces..
[18:26] <anirudh0> Broadcom, sorry...site not opening
[18:26] <akincer> pulse: a WMV file just had no video. Hmmmmmm
[18:27] <akincer> Something strange is going on
[18:27] <s3a> anirudh0: lol vague=uncertain?
[18:27] <Broadcom> anirudh0: http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/14/Picture%20003.jpg
[18:27] <Deepthought> exco: I'm sorry I can't help ant further right now, have to really urgently go somewhere; will log in later (about two hours from now), see if you got any further, or succeeded by then.   good luck !
[18:27] <exco> thanks again, Deepthought
[18:27] <anirudh0> s3a, yes...campus slang :)
[18:27] <exco> I'm sure I'll get it done
[18:27] <Deepthought> exco: your very welcome !
[18:28] <Broadcom> anirudh0: if that does not work: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?948ff328da.jpg
[18:28] <needhelp> Hi, how do I make restrict users from browsing certain xxx webpages in FireFox ?
[18:28] <anirudh0> bazhang, link opening for you?
[18:28] <bazhang> anirudh0, nay
[18:29] <anirudh0> needhelp, search for a parental control extension on addons.firefox.com
[18:29] <dmsuperman> During video playback, I get a little bit of stutter once in a while. How might I determine what causes this? It's definitely not the hardware, I have a powerful gaming machine.
[18:29] <anirudh0> Broadcom, sorry to still report failure...try imagevenue
[18:29] <hwilde> is there any way to scan for dns servers
[18:29] <akincer> pulse: I think it boils down to video playback of all types except for youtube seems to be broken
[18:30] <AaronH> babo, sorry it doesn't work for you. I've never used it before, but it looked like a pretty good program. Maybe some on in #openmovieeditor can answer your questions about the program.
[18:30] <pulse> akincer: xine has the same problem you say?
[18:30] <bazhang> Broadcom, what about installing pastebinit; the cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit
[18:31] <babo> AaronH, k thanks. there's a problem with bframe referencing or something like that. it does look good though ...
[18:31] <bastard> hallo
[18:31] <sschillachi> hi, when I try to boot linux using the xp ntldr all I get is the word grub on screen, can someone help me figure out why it's freezing?
[18:31] <z0man> I am back....My Cool n quiet was disabled
[18:31] <z0man> It is enabled
[18:31] <AaronH> babo, nm about #openmovieeditor
[18:31] <bullgard4> soundray: I installed a new user account on my Hardy computer. All GNOME programs and identifiers are in German with no problems.
[18:31] <anirudh0> akincer, still have the problem?
[18:31] <AaronH> no one in there
[18:32] <bastard> jemand da
[18:32] <bazhang> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GRUB_screenshot.png Broadcom get into grub menu and choose recovery mode
[18:32] <z0man> woa.....That applet is working now
[18:32] <danners> bastard: for german support join #ubuntu-de
[18:32] <bullgard4> !de | bastard
[18:32] <eth01> !language
[18:32] <akincer> anirudh0: Nope, I just solved it!
[18:32] <akincer> Here's how:
[18:33] <anirudh0> akincer, what was it?
[18:33] <anirudh0> akincer, wrong driver in mplayer?
[18:33] <xenomorph99> Hi.
[18:33] <bazhang> Broadcom, you need to hit esc in the three seconds or so before it goes to stage 1.5
[18:33] <xenomorph99> Anyone know of anything faster than tovid ?
[18:33] <Broadcom> bazhang: how do i get there?
[18:33] <bud32> Hi, I use Ubuntu with Gnome. How do I play flash movies (ie youtube.com) with konqueror? I installed this browser since the new firefox3b5 was acting weird recently...
[18:34] <akincer> 1) Alt + F2   2) gstreamer-properties and click Run   3) In the video tab under default output, select X Window System (No Xv)
[18:34] <bud32> I installed konqueror-nsplugin and flashplugin-nonfree
[18:34] <bud32> from synaptic
[18:34] <bazhang> Broadcom, you see that?
[18:34] <Broadcom> bazhang: no
[18:34] <bud32> and I can't get more info on Google
[18:34] <Broadcom> anirudh0: http://img200.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=36501_Picture_003_122_241lo.jpg
[18:34] <anirudh0> akincer, so a driver problem
[18:34] <bazhang> Broadcom, hit esc before it gets to stage 1.5 of grub
[18:35] <akincer> If doing what I just said fixes a driver issue, then yes
[18:35] <bazhang> Broadcom, then choose recovery mode
[18:35] <AaronH> babo, it looks like it should support anything that your codecs can handle http://www.openmovieeditor.org/formatsupport.html
[18:35] <z0man> Who ever was helping me... with AMD cool n quiet
[18:35] <z0man> thx
[18:35] <Broadcom> hold on, i will be right back under a diffrent user name
[18:35] <anirudh0> Broadcom, your xorg.conf is still bad
[18:35] <soundray> z0man: fixed?
[18:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Broadcom Is this the correct v4 wl_apsta.o file?  http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.bz2
[18:35] <z0man> soundray! The applet is working showing 50%
[18:35] <akincer> But to say that solution is ambiguous doesn't scratch the surface
[18:35] <z0man> So I guess it is
[18:36] <z0man> not sure what it means though...
[18:36] <soundray> z0man: was it a BIOS setting then?
[18:36] <anirudh0> Broadcom, hold on
[18:36] <z0man> It was disabled...So I changed it to "ENABLED"
[18:36] <Broadcom> Jack_Sparrow: for what?
[18:36] <xenomorph99> Anyone know of something faster than tovid for avi to DVD?
[18:36] <akincer> I spent that time fixing it and now I don't have time to watch my movie. Have to go. Figures
[18:36] <soundray> z0man: it means your CPU is running at half its max frequency. Run a CPU intensive program and it'll shoot up
[18:36] <Jack_Sparrow> bcm43xx
[18:36] <akincer> Thanks for everyone's help
[18:36] <babo> what's the one-size-fits-all codec package for ubuntu ?
[18:37] <babo> ccck or something like that ?
[18:37] <z0man> So does this mean my machine will use less power than normal?
[18:37] <boktai> uh, can someone help me? i tryed to install the 360 wireless controller in ubuntu and now ubuntu wont boot :[
[18:37] <anirudh0> Broadcom, http://pastebin.com/m1f873e05...i have a laptop..so you might need to remove the "synaptics touchpad" part
[18:37] <soundray> z0man: yes
[18:37]  * z0man hugs soundray thx sooo much
[18:37] <soundray> z0man: and your CPU will live longer
[18:37] <AaronH> babo, you can also look at the alternatives that the open movie editor suggests http://www.openmovieeditor.org/support.html
[18:37] <anirudh0> Jack_Sparrow, we need to have a common sane xorg.conf, and sources.list, so that they can be PM'ed to a needy user
[18:38] <z0man> I will pass on this knowledge to others
[18:38]  * soundray pats z0man's back
[18:38] <z0man> ^^ bye now
[18:38] <anirudh0> Jack_Sparrow, i'm assuming you are an op
[18:38] <drain> i installed apache server in order to allow sharing certian files to my friends over internet, now, i created new directory, set up permissions, and symlinked with a cd-rom, but i cant get directory listing using browser (firefox)... any ideas?
[18:38] <drain> i deleted index.html so apache shows "Index of"....
[18:38] <babo> AaronH, yeah. thanks ...
[18:38] <anirudh0> babo, you need non-linear editing?
[18:38] <Jack_Sparrow> anirudh0 sources lists are eacy, but usually dependent on a country of origin.
[18:38] <babo> anirudh0, err, I want to be able to edit on multiple channels ...
[18:39] <anirudh0> Jack_Sparrow, they can always point to archive.ubuntu.com
[18:39] <babo> anirudh0, to put together a video from multiple sources ...
[18:39] <Jack_Sparrow> anirudh0 the new xorg base has nothing in it.
[18:39] <anirudh0> Jack_Sparrow, I meant seperate files
[18:39] <KRaZy_WaKa> can anyone tell me where the default download directory is for Hardy?
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> anirudh0 I understand what you are saying, but there is no one size fits all solution
[18:40] <anirudh0> babo, you are better off with avidemux, at least for simple needs, check cinerella for more control
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> KRaZy_WaKa var/cache/apt/archives
[18:40] <babo> anirudh0, avidemux only has one channel ...
[18:40] <bud32> /etc/apt/source.list
[18:40] <KRaZy_WaKa> thanx jack
[18:40] <anirudh0> babo, but cinerella produces HUGE output, sometimes a couple of Gbs
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> anirudh0 take care, I only loggon on to check my mail.. I dont usually hang in here on weekends
[18:41] <bullgard4> KRaZy_WaKa: It used to be the Desktop.
[18:41] <anirudh0> Jack_Sparrow, good for you, i'm signing off as well
[18:41] <babo> if I was able to convert mp4 to avi, I reckon i could use the openmovieeditor ...
[18:41] <babo> it seems to be the most advanced ...
[18:41] <Broadcom1> sorry about that, i am bac
[18:41] <bud32> deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse
[18:41] <Jack_Sparrow> KRaZy_WaKa I assume you were talking about apt-get downowloads
[18:41] <vontux> hi, does anybody have any suggestions on how to find a windows equivalent to a linux network driver or is there no really way to figure that out?
[18:41] <KRaZy_WaKa> oh no firefox downloads
[18:41] <babo> anirudh0: well that's no good then ...
[18:41] <KRaZy_WaKa> sorry should have been more specific
[18:42] <bazhang> Broadcom1, you get into recovery mode?
[18:42] <boktai> can anyone help me try to boot back into ubuntu, i tryed to install the 360 wireless receiver using the guide on the wiki, i got to the point where it asked to do sudo modprobe xpad and it didnt work and it hangs when loading now :[
[18:42] <babo> what codecs do i need for ffmpeg to convert mp4 to avi ?
[18:42] <danners> vontux: how about googling hardwarename + driver +download?
[18:42] <Broadcom1> bazhang, nope, im unclear about how ot
[18:43] <bazhang> Broadcom1, you know when booting you see three two one,looking for grub stage 1.5? you have to hit esc key in there
[18:43] <d4t4min3r> can someone help me with a sound problem
[18:43] <d4t4min3r> my sound is messed up, it works but the sound icon next to the date up top right is not working right, i have to jiggle the sound up and down in preffrences to get the sound to sound right, adn the icon slide bar doesnt effect the sound at all
[18:43] <d4t4min3r> when i first play sound, its very low and muffeled ... not able to make out what it is
[18:43] <Broadcom1> bazhang, i neer see that
[18:43] <bud32> boktai: sudo apt-get autoclean worked for me, see man apt-get
[18:43] <Jack_Sparrow> KRaZy_WaKa Usually desktop but could be /home/krazzy   as well
[18:43] <bazhang> Broadcom1, just hit esc real fast then
[18:43] <boktai> im on the livecd right now, should i do that on there?
[18:43] <adadada> hello, can anyone help me with an issue i'm having on ubuntu 8.04? my screen resolution won't go past 640x320.  i've got a Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 card and the graphics drivers appear to be installed correctly.  I think the problem is in my xorg.conf file somewhere but i can't see it ... http://pastebin.com/m32b6c69d
[18:43] <boktai> i cant even get on recovery mode
[18:44] <Broadcom1> bazhang, nope
[18:44] <legend2440> KRaZy_WaKa: in firefox open edit>preferences>main  choose where you want downloads to go
[18:44] <Ahadiel> adadada, run sudo nvidia-xsettings then reboot X
[18:44] <adadada> i've been checking every bug report and google entry i can find for 2 days and haven't been able to fix it
[18:44] <bazhang> Broadcom1, what about ctrl alt f7
[18:44] <soho> hello, any debuild-experts here?
[18:44] <Broadcom1> bazhang, it is a ppc, would that matter?
[18:44] <bazhang> Broadcom1, aye; might be using lilo and not grub
[18:45] <adadada> Ahadiel: you're saying that i should be able to set the screen resolution through nvidia-settings?
[18:45] <boktai> bud32 how am i suppose to do sudo apt-get autoclean if i cant boot into ubuntu?
[18:46] <bazhang> Broadcom1, you have to restart to see that menu though
[18:46] <KRaZy_WaKa> ok thanx legend2440, it says it saves to desktop but i dont see them on the desktop or in desktop through places, i have checked show hidden files and still nothing
[18:46] <Ahadiel> adadada, Yes.
[18:46] <adadada> because the only option i see in the Resolution: field is for Auto, 640x320, and 320x240
[18:46] <bullgard4> soundray: I installed a new user account on my Hardy computer. All GNOME programs and identifiers are in German with no problems.
[18:46] <soundray> boktai: autoclean is not relevant to your problem
[18:46] <Ahadiel> adadada, Did you select your screen first?
[18:46] <bud32> boktai: sry, I thought you were talking about apt-get hanging
[18:46] <boktai> oh
[18:46] <boktai> no :[
[18:46] <boktai> the load bar for ubuntu it gets about 1/6 the way then stops
[18:46] <boktai> and it wont load
[18:47] <bazhang> Broadcom1, you still there?
[18:47] <boktai> i tryed recovery mode too and it dosnt work either
[18:47] <bud32> press ctrl-alt-f1 and paste the err msg on the pastebin
[18:47] <bud32> (boktai)
[18:47] <cypha> how can i fix compiz? i think it was causing errors on my computer
[18:47] <legend2440> KRaZy_WaKa: maybe download something and then do search to see where it put it? i have mine set to always ask where to download to
[18:47] <cypha> just uninstall and reinstall?
[18:47] <bud32> boktai: it's probably a disk chk
[18:47] <adadada> Ahadiel: maybe i'm not selecting the screen correctly ... if i select "X Screen 0" in the navigation field, all of the settings fields are read only
[18:47] <boktai> its not
[18:47] <bud32> ...hanging
[18:47] <boktai> before this happened
[18:48] <boktai> i tryed to install a 360 wireless receiver
[18:48] <boktai> and it didnt work
[18:48] <fulgoren> anyone in vegs?
[18:48] <boktai> so i tryed to reboot to see if that would fix it
[18:48] <fulgoren> vegas, sorry
[18:48] <boktai> and now it hangs
[18:48] <jsmidt> I have an old package that calls for xfree86-devel.  What new package replaces it?
[18:48] <soundray> bullgard4: you may have to reset your original user's gnome configuration. Log into failsafe mode and remove .gnome, .gnome2 and .gconf from the home directory.
[18:48] <Ahadiel> adadada, Hrm... not sure then.
[18:48] <boktai> i followed the guide on the wiki
[18:48] <dakksy> bunty?
[18:48] <bud32> boktai: apt-get probably install a bootscript that is buggy

[18:48] <cypha> how can i make GNOME-DO search through my usb drive?

[18:49] <KRaZy_WaKa> legend2440: yeah i just changed mine to ask as well... reason i was asking is i downloaded the firefox 3 rc1 tar.bz2 to upgrade from beta 5 and decided to wait til rc1 hits the repos and i dont want stuff taking up hard drive space

[18:52] <sschillachi> hi, can someone help me figure out why grub is freezing when I load it from the xp ntldr?
[18:52] <emma> babo - you are very welcome. :)
[18:52] <adadada> atlef: yes ... straight from nvidia ... also tried the synaptic version

[18:52] <adadada> the drivers are being recognized fine ... just won't bump up my screen resolution options

[18:53] <CShadowRun> erUSUL but i need 3d :/
[18:53] <CShadowRun> (And, no 3D is not "Fine"...)
[18:53] <jussi01> CShadowRun: that driver should give you 3d
[18:53] <erUSUL> CShadowRun: radeon does support 3d
[18:53] <adadada> i really think the problem is somewhere in my xorg.conf file ... i just don't know where to look

[18:55] <cabrioleur> adadada, your resolution is limited not only by your graphic card, but also your screen. Probably your screen is not properly recognized.
[18:56] <adadada> i've got an acer al1912 ... it appears to be showing up in the xorg.conf file ... do you see something wrong there?
[18:56] <cabrioleur> adadada, can you give me pastebin link again.

[18:57] <Steve-cal> I'm troubleshooting a suspend problem with my computer, and when I run the /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script, for some reason it hangs when I try to resume it when it tries to "modprobe ndiswrapper". So I manually removed ndiswrapper before running the script, and now I can resume from suspend just fine. Why would it hang on "modprobe ndiswrapper"? I run the script as root. Also I can modprobe...
[18:57] <Steve-cal> ...ndiswrapper manually in the shell no problem.
[18:58] <dakksy> bunty?

[19:00] <bullgard4> What is meant by "Log into failsafe mode"? Is it 'Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (recovery mode)'?
[19:00] <Ireclan> Could someone help me? I'm trying to convert vp6f flash to Ogg theora using ffmpeg, and it gives me a file that won't play. I tried using ffmpeg2theora, but that doesn't work either (it just crashes on vp6f flash). I would like to convert to free formats. Please help?

[19:04] <ViciousGu> Hi
[19:04] <Ireclan> Could someone help me? I'm trying to convert vp6f flash to Ogg theora using ffmpeg, and it gives me a file that won't play. I tried using ffmpeg2theora, but that doesn't work either (it just crashes on vp6f flash). I would like to convert to free formats. Please help?
[19:04] <ViciousGu> I understand this is for Ubuntu - But where is the Windows help desk?

[19:04] <titan_> hi, anyone know of a good music making program, i used fruity loops on windows and wondered if there was a good open one on ubuntu
[19:04] <usser> babo, did u try it?
[19:04] <emma> babo: do you want to install ffmep from the medibuntu repository?
[19:04] <ViciousGu> Or more specifically a PC help desk?
[19:04] <bud32> miscosoft.com
[19:04]  * xenos kicks ViciousGu
[19:04] <ViciousGu> No, on Freenode

[19:04] <ViciousGu> Ah, thank you :)
[19:04] <emma> babo: open a terminal and type: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[19:05] <usser> !medibuntu | babo
[19:05] <bud32> !help |bud32

[19:06] <bud32> Flare183: really!
[19:06] <Flare183> bud32: duh
[19:06] <emma> babo: are you with me, did you type those two things into the terminal?
[19:06] <bud32> I thought the bot wouldn't try to ignore me, honestly
[19:06] <astro76> emma: that step can now be replaced with sudo apt-get install medibuntu keyring
[19:06]  * Flare183 was sooo close to getting the ops on him
[19:06] <emma> astro76: okay good to know thanks.
[19:06] <babo> emma: sure. why do i need the second one ...
[19:06] <babo> ?
[19:06] <ViciousGu> Anyway I have seen an Ubuntu once
[19:06] <astro76> emma: no prob, err that's medibuntu-keyring
[19:07] <ViciousGu> At my high school
[19:07] <emma> babo - so that you don't get authentication errors.
[19:07] <emma> babo -- have you done both of those yet?
[19:07] <KRaZy_WaKa> babo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-7486ed038a9becc1dff10a24cc07a38a00d70e9f
[19:07] <babo> emma: yip
[19:07] <ipx> ViciousGu: how did it look like?
[19:07] <tyler`> hello. i installed KDE in addition to GNOME, just to try a couple things and mess around, all was well ... then i removed it perfectly fine, have GNOME back up and running etc, all related packages to KDE are gone, but in add/remove applications, it lists some apps for kde, how might i get those removed?
[19:07] <KRaZy_WaKa> babo: you can copy and paste the code form there
[19:07] <ViciousGu> I didn't see much as I saw a password screen
[19:07] <ViciousGu> But it had a GUI
[19:07] <emma> babo - okay now type this: sudo apt-get update
[19:07] <Ireclan> Could someone help me? I'm trying to convert vp6f flash to Ogg theora using ffmpeg, and it gives me a file that won't play. I tried using ffmpeg2theora, but that doesn't work either (it just crashes on vp6f flash). I would like to convert to free formats. Please help?
[19:07] <ViciousGu> And it looked interesting to try

[19:08] <emma> babo: did you do that?
[19:08] <lea_w> Hi!  My package management is "wedged": apt-get -f install yields http://pastebin.com/f32ed9bac and dpkg --configure -a does not print anything (so everything is configured), but removing the offending packages does not work (see pastebin).   How can I "unwedge" it?
[19:08] <tyler`> k
[19:08] <tyler`> thank you
[19:08] <babo> emma: OK, that's update my sources.list then ?
[19:08] <babo> that'll ...
[19:08] <emma> babo: yes.
[19:08] <babo> should i uninstall ffmpeg ?
[19:08] <astro76> babo: now sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:08] <KRaZy_WaKa> ViciousGU: you can download and burn an ubuntu image and run it as a live CD(doesnt change any of your files)
[19:08] <emma> babo: assuming you typed in what I told you now you have included the medibuntu repository to your sources.list
[19:08] <CShadowRun> Hey, i have an ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] and it's not offering me to install drivers in Hardware Devices
[19:08] <Flare183> How Can I force ssl-cert to upgrade?
[19:09] <atlef> Ireclan: try this tool : http://fuocotools.byethost13.com/ it converts about anything
[19:09] <babo> emma: ok cool. so then do an upgrade ?
[19:09] <Dahita> I need some help plz, I keep trying to install my gefor

[19:09] <Flare183> !ask | Dahita
[19:09] <KRaZy_WaKa> ViciousGu: or alternately request a free CD from canonical... if you like what you see on the live CD version you can then install ubuntu from the live CD
[19:09] <Dahita> it s getting worse, I m in 640/480 now :/
[19:09] <LewisSharp> I have a funny problem that I am seeking the solution of :) my file /etc/sudoers is no longer owned by root:root, I need to put it back as such but since it's not own by root I can't sudo anymore to put it back. Any suggestions? :)

[19:10] <babo> emma: still upgrading ... thanks ...
[19:11] <emma> babo - okay. Let me know when that is finished.
[19:11] <astro76> LewisSharp: like I said you need to boot into recovery mode, because there is no root and sudo is broken
[19:11] <Myrtti> !noroot | babo
[19:11] <babo> k thanks
[19:11] <LewisSharp> I'll try the recovering mode because I don't have a password set for root so I can't su as well. Thanks.
[19:11] <Flare183> Dahita: Can you explain what you are trying to do?
[19:11] <babo> fair enough ...
[19:11] <zarshark> Is there anyone who have a "blue flicker" when change to ctrl+alt+Fx?

[19:15] <cypha> HI, how can i get GNOME-DO to search my usb drive?
[19:15] <tyler`> KDE packages, that is
[19:15] <emma> I suggest that when someone is speaking Spanish (or other non-english language) we use !es > nick  rather than !es | nick because otherwise our advice puts more non-English into the channel than the person ever spoke themselves.
[19:15] <tyler`> for example it lists adept manager

[19:16] <Lava> hi, simple but probably difficult question: how come my internet is much slower with the feisty fawn than gutsy?
[19:16] <peternix> That sucks
[19:16] <Myrtti> Lava: feisty?
[19:16] <Flare183> Why can't I get ssl-cert to upgrade?
[19:16] <muzy> Krazy_waka < I know but I wanna have an original cd

[19:17] <Lava> Myrtti, sorry, meant the newest version
[19:17] <Snowball`> thx legend2440  :)
[19:17] <emma> cypha !es > <nick> sends the same instructions to the person but privately. It's also more courteous since it does not make the person feel bad for being on the spot.
[19:17] <Boktai> im trying to remove a script named xpad from loading, i added rw init=/bin/bash to my kernel but once it loads im lost at what to do :(
[19:17] <KRaZy_WaKa> muzy: dl and burn it to experiment with it til the CD comes in
[19:17] <danners> Flare183: just make aptitude install ssl-cert... (i think it needs some more packages)
[19:17] <Boktai> i dont no how to edit /etc/init.d from there
[19:17] <Boktai> or remove it
[19:17] <xx> Myrtti; lol im admin @ torrent and there is my nick xx i allways take xx :D
[19:17] <cypha> emma, they'd have to be registered
[19:17] <Flare183> danners: ok
[19:17] <xx> torrent site even
[19:17] <afallenhope> Anyone know why my virtual terminal's not working? I'll hit: "CTRL + ALT + F1" and it simply brings me to a blank screeen
[19:17] <Myrtti> xx: then live with it ;-)
[19:17] <LewisSharp> as well as doing updates without checking them out :( seems like I updated the core but than packages requiring a core version no longer worked and I needed those. A hard way to learn a lesson! :)
[19:17] <muzy> Krazy_waka < I dl the cd before, but v. 7 ... so i wanna try 8
[19:17] <emma> cypha - Non-registered users don't get pms?

[19:19] <emma> xx -- I urge you to stop the direction you are heading. Calm down now and you can save yourself a lot of hassle.
[19:19] <_adriaan> ubotto doesn't feel like it today
[19:19] <xx> whut ?
[19:19] <KRaZy_WaKa> muzy: but if you dont mind the wait it's all good, the wait is the only drawback to ordering a free CD from canonical
[19:19] <Flare183> Quit people
[19:19] <muzy> Krazy_waka < yes i wanna do it same. It lokks more professional and i can take a good looking cd to school to use the live cd... we have only windoof
[19:20] <KRaZy_WaKa> muzy: good deal, try to convert teachers while you're there lol
[19:20] <tarelerulz> my system say it is last update 32 days ago ,but I have been downloading secirty updates this whole time.  It says it can't update this http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release  Unable to find expected entry  web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?).  What should I do ?
[19:20] <Boktai> if i add rw init=/bin/bash to my kernel and i get to the terminal how would i edit the file /etc/init.d?
[19:20] <josinalvo> hi there !
[19:21] <josinalvo> i had a problem with the upgrade to 8.4
[19:21] <josinalvo> it's already solved, but i don't know where to report, so, I say it here
[19:21] <josinalvo> there was a weird "Virtual 1400    1050" on my xorg.conf that make the video act funny. Does anyone know what it is about ?
[19:21] <danners> Boktai: vim or nano
[19:21] <Flare183> !enter | josinalvo
[19:21] <dannyboy> is there a sound recorder that can record sound from a stream online?
[19:21] <afallenhope> Anyone know why my virtual terminal's not working? I'll hit: "CTRL + ALT + F1" and it simply brings me to a blank screeen
[19:21] <astro76> !bugs | josinalvo
[19:21] <Boktai> so i would type in vim /etc/init.d?
[19:21] <astro76> Boktai: /etc/init.d/ is a directory
[19:21] <caexo> i can use totem with another application using my soundcard, but not vlc player... why is that?  i setup everything for alsa
[19:21] <KRaZy_WaKa> tarelerulz: change your sources, remove the us. from in front of all of them
[19:21] <cypha> can SOMEONE please help me with GNOME-DO please?
[19:22] <cypha> i'd like to be able to search within my USB drive
[19:22] <CShadowRun> Ok this is the 6th time i've asked now, It's getting annoying. Will people please stop ignoring me and help me with my graphics drivers?
[19:22] <Myrtti> !elaborate | cypha
[19:22] <Boktai> o :[
[19:22] <muzy> Krazy_waka < no no i can't, but i ordered edubuntu too. I wanna present it to mya teachers
[19:22] <cypha> it's pretty clear
[19:22] <Boktai> well im trying to remove this thing called xpad from loading
[19:22] <emma> Boktai: you might prefer: gksudo gedit /etc/init.d
[19:22] <Boktai> because its preventing me from booting
[19:22] <james__> hello
[19:22] <danners> Boktai: with rm you can delete files...
[19:22] <Boktai> ok
[19:22] <babo> emma: that's taking ages. It should work from there though no ?
[19:22] <babo> any other steps ?
[19:23] <KRaZy_WaKa> tarelerulz: if you remove "us." your packages will come direct from the main servers, which are always up to date
[19:23] <dannyboy> is there a sound recorder that can record sound from a stream online?
[19:23] <afallenhope> Anyone know why my virtual terminal's not working? I'll hit: "CTRL + ALT + F1" and it simply brings me to a blank screeen
[19:23] <emma> babo were you originally using Hardy ?
[19:24] <KRaZy_WaKa> muzy: good idea muzy, i wouldn't have thought of that myself :D
[19:24] <goose> Flare183, I read the dualhead link but I wasn't able to understand from it why my dual setup won't work. Under "Screens and Graphics" my Screen to can ONLY be set to "Default" or "Disabled"
[19:24] <Flare183> goose: I'm sorry I can't help further
[19:24] <babo> emma: upgrade will upgrade the Operating System as well ?
[19:24] <ProwL> dannyboy: you mean like streamripper?
[19:24] <dannyboy> Prowl: yes i guess....
[19:24] <astro76> babo: that's dist-upgrade, upgrade is the normal upgrade to get security updates
[19:25] <ProwL> dannyboy: its pretty cool if you want to rip shoutcast streams. (or similar)
[19:25] <babo> phew
[19:25] <caexo> ugh....  why can't i watch a youtube video and listen to music?   videos stop after 2 seconds
[19:25] <babo> it's certainly taking long enough. maybe i haven't upgraded in a while ...
[19:25] <caexo> i hate having to close out of everything else
[19:25] <babo> or maybe my system is getting big ...
[19:25] <emma> babo: no. That would be dist-upgrade
[19:25] <dannyboy> Prowl: yea...but what program can i use for that?
[19:25] <goose> I can't get my dual monitors to work, can somebody help me figure out why? It doesn't even give me the option to turn on the screen 2 under System > Administration > Screens and Graphics. Screen two can only be set to default or disabled, not Secondary Screen.
[19:25] <muzy> Krazy_waka < yes we need an other OS.. actual we using Win2K and WinXP -> It sucks.... our server are so slow.. they didn't work.. everything fails
[19:25] <afallenhope> is there a way of seeing which driver is being used for my video? because I think I need to update it
[19:26] <babo> there's a lot of openoffice ...
[19:26] <emma> babo: I think you just have not upgraded in a while and it is upgrading a lot of your packages.
[19:26] <ProwL> dannyboy: streamripper.
[19:26] <delta9thc1> caexo: because you have to install flash beta 10
[19:26] <babo> emma: what should i do when it finished upgrading ?
[19:26] <babo> s/finished/finishes/
[19:26] <dannyboy> Prowl: awesome...thanks
[19:26] <emma> babo -- However, the steps we did earlier were to add the medibuntu repository to your sources.list assuming you are using Hardy
[19:26] <afallenhope> is there a way of seeing which driver is being used for my video? because I think I need to update it??!??!
[19:26] <babo> aye
[19:26] <KRaZy_WaKa> muzy: you may want to get Ubuntu Server Edition to present to your teachers as well, although the servers are probably maintained by somebody other than the teachers
[19:26] <emma> Are you using Hardy?
[19:27] <afallenhope> yeah
[19:27] <emma> babo: Are you using Hardy?
[19:27] <astro76> babo: you'll have the ffmpeg from medibuntu when it's done, you might want to check in Synaptic for other interesting packages available from medibuntu ;)
[19:27] <babo> emma: I'm using gutsy ..
[19:27] <afallenhope> oh :( lol.
[19:27] <tarelerulz> Where is the file that tell synaptic  what  repositories to use ?  I am on Ubuntu 8.04
[19:27] <caexo> hmm i'll try that, the only left is trying to get vlc's sound working with another device..  totem and rhythmbox work fine together (for an example)
[19:27] <babo> astro76, emma: k thanks ... :-)
[19:27] <babo> appreciated ...
[19:27] <eTranquility> Can someone please help me? I finally got my wireless working, then realized my sound was disabled. I used "sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic" and restored my sound but now "sudo modprobe ath_pci" gives errors and I have no wireless.
[19:27] <danners> tarelerulz: /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:27] <emma> astro76: will that be a problem that we added the hardy medibuntu repository to his sources list but he's using Gutsy?
[19:28] <KRaZy_WaKa> system > administration > software sources provides a GUI
[19:28] <astro76> emma: it could be
[19:28] <atlef> tarelerulz: did you try settings in synaptic?
[19:28] <muzy> Krazy_waka < The actual servers are managed by well graduated teacher.. They are well graduated, yes, but they mean they know everything. Ubuntu Server is good, but i think i should present edubuntu first... Maybe i order one too...
[19:29] <emma> babo: There could be a problem.
[19:29] <atlef> tarelerulz: oh, sorry. /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:29] <T1m0thy> Why isn't "Check for Updates..." available to click on in FF?
[19:29] <afallenhope> okays.. I understand people are busy but it'd be cool to at least get SOME type of a response.
[19:29] <babo> emma: ?
[19:29] <KRaZy_WaKa> muzy: no doubt good luck with it... you also may want to pitch the point that it would save the school money... although there may be some programs in the curriculum that require windows
[19:29] <tony403> i return to the login screen when i try to login on 8.04. anyone have a clue why?
[19:29] <caexo> channel is too big, probably should split it
[19:29] <astro76> babo: did you get gutsy.list or hardy.list from medibuntu in that first command?
[19:29] <emma> babo: we added the hardy medibuntu repository to your sources.list but you say you are using Gutsy.
[19:29] <Ireclan> atlef: Fuoco won't even install. I think I've screwed my repositories up.
[19:29] <atlef> T1m0thy: because the Ubuntu team needs to approve it first
[19:29] <tarelerulz> atlef , I did try ,but I  did not know where to look in synaptic for the sources for the packages . So i just thought I would configure that file manually
[19:30] <atlef> tarelerulz: oh, sorry. /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:30] <babo> emma: it'd probably work anyway though right ?
[19:30] <T1m0thy> Thanks, atlef. It's just weird because my brother said it worked for him.
[19:30] <atlef> T1m0thy: no way
[19:31] <muzy> Krazy_waka < yes it would save some money and it would mean that everyone must learn to deal with linux, in this case edubuntu or ubuntu. Required programs of the curriculum should run in wine... they are for Win95 ^^
[19:31] <afallenhope> I have two issues!!! 1.) when I hit CTRL ALT F1 it brings me to a blank screen (supposed to bring you to the virtual terminal), and then 2.) I wanted to know how can I tell which video card I'm using so I can update it.
[19:31] <danners> atlef: when he downloads it for himself without packaging tools and saves it in a folder, he can update it...
[19:31] <Ireclan> atlef: Any ideas? 'Cause I know "sudo apt-get install mplayer" should work, but it doesn't.
[19:31] <astro76> babo: no you should delete /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list and repeat the first command replacing hardy with gutsy
[19:31] <emma> babo: I don't know for sure.
[19:31] <KRaZy_WaKa> tarelerulz: system > administration > software sources provides a GUI to set your sources.list
[19:31] <astro76> !medibuntu | babo here's this again for reference ;)
[19:31] <babo> ok cool thanks
[19:31] <dannyboy> Prowl: ok i need to rip an audio stream from a website while its playing....can streamripper do that?
[19:31] <atlef> Ireclan: did you go thru every step on the page/forum?
[19:31] <babo> I'll do that ...
[19:32] <Ireclan> atlef: Yep.
[19:32]  * babo is going for dinner ...
[19:32] <KRaZy_WaKa> muzy: good point, and there may be open source softwares that could replace what the school uses currently
[19:32] <atlef> Ireclan: strange, i had no problems
[19:32] <ProwL> dannyboy: i think what you would want is a tool that 'records audio from your soundcard', streamripper is for 'streams' like shoutcast, icecast, etc.
[19:32] <m1r> problems with runing KDE applications in ubuntu 8.04 amd64 , amarok and k3b reporting that DCOP server is not runing and some folders are unwritable. here is output of starting amarok thru console: http://pastebin.com/m7c4fb6e7 . anyone have simimlar issues ?
[19:33] <afallenhope> I have two issues!!! 1.) when I hit CTRL ALT F1 it brings me to a blank screen (supposed to bring you to the virtual terminal), and then 2.) I wanted to know how can I tell which video card I'm using so I can update it.
[19:33] <dannyboy> Prowl: yes exactly now what can i use for that?
[19:33] <danners> afallenhope: 2. install hwinfo and run hwinfo --gfxcard in a terminal
[19:34] <afallenhope> omg! someone replied! lol. thanks danners
[19:34] <muzy> Krazy_waka < yes and i'm shure that opensource is avaible for the task the windows software does now... and i hold the view that this software is much better and more functional. And when a student wants more functioan, he could add these points if he knows how to programming.....
[19:34] <emma> afallenhope: for (2) you might try opening a terminal and typing: lspci | grep VGA
[19:34] <afallenhope> is there a reason when I type "users" I get three of my name?
[19:35] <kane77> I have a problem.. amarok doesn't work in hardy.. if I run it after a few seconds process amarokcollection takes 90% of memory.. can anyone help me?
[19:35] <Ireclan> atlef: The package claims it can't install "mplayer". Then when I try "sudo apt-get install mplayer" it says "E: Broken packages" after a whole bunch of other stuff. So....I'm back at square one, aren't I?
[19:35] <afallenhope> 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51 [Geforce 6150 Go] (rev a2) soo... I can go to the nVidia site and look for an update?
[19:35] <PaRaSiTe> I seem to have lost GRUB.
[19:35] <emma> afallenhope: did you get that by doing: lspci | grep VGA ?
[19:35] <PaRaSiTe> I looked at various instructions, but I'm still confused. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_restore_GRUB_to_a_partition_or_MBR_with_an_Ubuntu_Live_CD
[19:35] <afallenhope> emma:  yeah
[19:36] <emma> afallenhope: okay very good :)
[19:36] <AaronH> afallenhope, thats becaues you are logged in 3 places on your system
[19:36] <PaRaSiTe> How do I know which partitions etc?
[19:36] <atlef> Ireclan: im not sure, have you got the medibuntu repositories activated?
[19:36] <afallenhope> AaronH: righteo. that makes sense.. I just noticed that.. I'm root three terminal windows
[19:36] <legend2440> could someone tell me if they can get to any ati drivers i keep getting error page. http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
[19:36] <kevin__> I want to try and run WoW on Ubuntu...... Anyone have any suggestions?
[19:36] <ProwL> dannyboy: Audacity will suit you just fine.

[19:37] <styrman> sed 's/name=\".*\"/""/g' * ... how do i replace name=".*" with empty string? how do I make the " to be matched?
[19:37] <danners> kevin__: install it with wine and see if it works for you...
[19:37] <CShadowRun> kevin__ follow the instructions on the wine appdk
[19:37] <CShadowRun> appdb*
[19:37] <Ireclan> atlef: Yep. According to "Software Sources", anyway.
[19:37] <Ienorand> legend2440: errors for me.
[19:37] <afallenhope> !wine > kevin__
[19:37] <ProwL> dannyboy: audacity is really great audio recording/editor, its free/open source, gui based, and capable of recording directly from your sound device, i think that will work best in your case.
[19:37] <afallenhope> hmm.. lol
[19:37] <afallenhope> !wine
[19:37] <kevin__> Thanks
[19:37] <afallenhope> there ya go

[19:40] <dkT> I still have my problem, that my wireless network card suddenly disapeared earlier on. I can't get it up running again. I need some help here?!
[19:41] <afallenhope> I'm slightly confused as to which file to download for my grafx card wether it's up to date or not. I've got a nVidia GeForce Go 6150
[19:41] <KRaZy_WaKa> muzy: i dunno about a one-click solution to control a network but that'd be sweet
[19:43] <muzy> Krazy_waka < my teacher would need it, or a tool where they can see the content of every desktop. And sometimes they need to control pc's when they see that the student does something wrong.....for example surfing on wrong content
[19:43] <Pici> !offtopic
[19:44] <Caleb> I know gnome uses .desktop files for it's desktop lanuchers. Can someone send me a sample file of what kde uses?

[19:44] <Flare183> Caleb: they use the same thing I think
[19:44] <cypha> How does no one use Gnome-Do
[19:44] <muzy> okay

[19:46] <astro76> cypha: and what is repeating the fact that no one uses it accomplishing? what is it anyway?
[19:46] <p> german
[19:46] <prodigel> Hi all. anybody familiar with transmission-daemon? I've just installed it and want to know more about how to interact with it.
[19:46] <cypha> how i can have Gnome-Do search my USB drive?
[19:46] <Myrtti> !de | p
[19:46] <muzy> p-> what about german?
[19:46] <astro76> cypha: I don't know what gnome-do is
[19:47] <cypha> it only searches within my /home/cypha directory as of now
[19:47] <Myrtti> cypha: then make a symlink for it to follow
[19:47] <p> nothing^^
[19:47] <cypha> well, u're welcome for telling you about something awesome
[19:47] <cypha> =)
[19:47] <m1r> muzy , please check this link http://italc.sourceforge.net/

[19:47] <woli> can somebody help with alsa issues?
[19:47] <muzy> this is great...
[19:48] <emma> woli: you should just ask the question and maybe someone will know the answer.
[19:48] <gisikw> Quick question, I need to be able to dlopen libgomp, so I can use rmagick with rails, but it's configured not to allow dlopen. Is this a configuration setting, or do I have to remove the package and try to configure from source?
[19:48] <Myrtti> cypha: ln -s /media/usbdisk $HOME/.gnomedohiddenfolder
[19:48] <m1r> wuzy , helps?
[19:48] <m1r> muzy , helps?
[19:48] <cypha> what's that do?
[19:48] <woli> sorry emma...
[19:48] <cypha> Myrtti, what's that do?
[19:48] <Myrtti> cypha: creates a link called .gnomedohiddenfolder to /media/usbdisk
[19:49] <emma> woli: nothing to be sorry about, I'm just trying to acquaint you with the most efficient way to get help here :)
[19:49] <muzy> yes it helps.. now i must only translate the localisation files or language files into german and everything fit
[19:49] <Ienorand> If buying a lappy for the coming years, should one go for ATI or NVIDIA?
[19:49] <woli> here it goes, the classic alsa error: 'Could not open audio device for playback'
[19:49] <m1r> muzy , gl m8 ;)
[19:49] <astro76> Ienorand: Intel ;)
[19:49] <muzy> yes now i can start converting the school
[19:49] <cypha> Myrtti, is that the only way?
[19:49] <muzy> what menas gl m8 ?
[19:49] <muzy> *means
[19:49] <m1r> muzy , good luck

[19:50] <cypha> oh
[19:50] <joanki2> can anyone tell me if wine hq is much better than virtualbox?
[19:50] <emma> !better > joanki2
[19:50] <atlef> joanki2: for what?
[19:50] <Starnestommy> joanki2: wine is better than virtualbox depending on what you need to do
[19:50] <astro76> joanki2: they are quite different things
[19:50] <Myrtti> cypha: but if it searches from only your home directory, and you've got a symlink in your home directory to your usbdisk...
[19:50] <afallenhope> joanki2: to be honest I don't even know. I can't get any games to play on wine.
[19:50] <tsimmi> hi, can anyone help me with my wireless connection in ubuntu?
[19:50] <joanki2> i thought wine was supposed to a virtual os
[19:51] <Starnestommy> joanki2: but virtualbox requres that you have a copy of windows to install into it
[19:51] <Myrtti> cypha: my logic - maybe that would work
[19:51] <joanki2> as was virtualbox
[19:51] <lr5> Ubuntu 8.04 installation (alternative cd) hangs at 6% at "Select and install software", saying "Please wait...", anyone knows if that's normal?
[19:51] <cypha> Myrtti, but i'm hoping there is an option that can be changed
[19:51] <Ienorand> astro76: Yea, but I'm intending to dual-boot XP for some kind of gaming performance, which afaik, you can't really get with intel?
[19:51] <cypha> like why should it just search the /Home directory anyway
[19:51] <afallenhope> tsimmi: what's your issue?
[19:51] <joanki2> virtualbox ate too much of my computer's resources i did not like it
[19:51] <Myrtti> cypha: have you checked gconf
[19:51] <cypha> how do i get there?
[19:51] <Starnestommy> joanki2: wine is an emulator that doesn't require windows
[19:51] <atlef> joanki2: what do you need to do?
[19:51] <astro76> Ienorand: X3500 is pretty sweet but if you are a hardcore gamer you won't be happy
[19:51] <joanki2> atlef, it was just any program - ms word, excel, video
[19:51] <joanki2> all of that
[19:51] <Starnestommy> joanki2: unlike virtualbox, it doesn't act like a full computer and is faster
[19:51] <cypha> Myrtti, how do i get there?
[19:51] <joanki2> just sitting there, it would cause my resources to go crazy
[19:51] <Myrtti> cypha: alt-f2, type gconf-editor
[19:52] <DefineKThyne> i'm trying to copy all my windows fonts over to my Hardy partition so i can use them in OpenOffice, GIMP etc. can someone tell me how to?
[19:52] <cypha> yeah
[19:52] <Myrtti> !fonts
[19:52] <tsimmi> afllenhope: thanks!My laptop don't connect to my wireless router...
[19:52] <cypha> it only has the option to change the shortcut key for gnome-do under Apps>Gnome-Do
[19:52] <atlef> joanki2: then maybe you have configured it wrong or you machine is not up to the task
[19:52] <afallenhope> tsimmi: what kind of wireless card?
[19:53] <tsimmi> its intel
[19:53] <joanki2> atlef, it was right
[19:53] <joanki2> i just think.... well, i have a duo-core processor
[19:53] <joanki2> i think it was running only on one processor
[19:53] <Starnestommy> joanki2: wine uses less resources than virtualbox and doesn't need a genuine copy of windows
[19:53] <joanki2> but that still shouldn't make a dif
[19:53] <joanki2> thanks Starnestommy
[19:53] <DefineKThyne> Myrtti: thanks
[19:53] <Myrtti> DefineKThyne: np
[19:54] <atlef> joanki2: i run several virtual machines at once and have no problems
[19:54] <Starnestommy> joanki2: it works as a compatibility layer, while virtualbox attempts to act like a whole PC
[19:54] <p> i would like to write and delet things from ubuntu in other partiion like a mac one how does it works
[19:54] <joanki2> atlef, which one are are you running?
[19:54] <Jeff2> im having difficulty with an ubuntu installation, any chance someone could help me a bit

[19:56] <emma> ^root^: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[19:56] <bigjoe4> I have installed Ubuntu, and it has set itself as the default OS when the PC boots- is there a way to set windows as the default instead?
[19:56] <p> helllllllppppp i need permission for writing and deleting in other partitionen ( a mac partition)
[19:56] <^root^> emma: ya, sure...
[19:56] <WanderingKnight> I've got a question: I've been trying to resize an IDE ext3 partition of about 50 GB, bringing it down to 30, but gparted is taking too damn long and doing nothing
[19:56] <hendeca> bigjoe4: Are you using grub bootloader?
[19:56] <atlef> bigjoe4: yes, you need to configure your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:56] <WanderingKnight> top tells me that resize2fs is taking cpu time, but the thing doesn't do anything
[19:57] <soho> bigjoe4; yes, take a look in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:57] <Jeff2> emma, i am installing ubuntu 7.10 from the alternate installer and it can't find my HD
[19:57] <WanderingKnight> does anyone have any idea what should I do? Should I cancel the thing?
[19:57] <astro76> WanderingKnight: no let it run
[19:57] <woli> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback
[19:57] <WanderingKnight> but it's been like 25-30 minutes
[19:57] <bigjoe4> OK, thanks I will have a look and tell you if I can;'t work out what to do
[19:57] <woli> I get that error when trying to use alsa
[19:57] <astro76> WanderingKnight: that's ok

[19:57] <WanderingKnight> yeah?
[19:57] <atlef> bigjoe4: post yours to pastebin, and we can look at it
[19:57] <Jeff2> emma: i am installing ubuntu 7.10 from the alternate installer and it can't find my HD
[19:57] <genii> WanderingKnight: Lt it run til it either finishes or errors out
[19:57] <astro76> WanderingKnight: it can take awhile

[19:58] <bigjoe4> pastebin?

[19:58] <bigjoe4> I see
[19:58] <^root^> anyone
[19:58] <eTranquility> Can someone please help me? I finally got my wireless working, then realized my sound was disabled. I used "sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic" and restored my sound but now "sudo modprobe ath_pci" gives errors and I have no wireless.
[19:59] <WanderingKnight> so there's no choice but wait?
[19:59] <lukehasnoname> Hey, I have a question. My master volume isn't adjusting any of my other volumes. What is the problem?
[19:59] <genii> WanderingKnight: Correct
[19:59] <syca> Anyone here know or use Audacious music player?
[19:59] <WanderingKnight> that's a drag
[19:59] <astro76> WanderingKnight: the only other choice is to not resize but we're past that point ;)
[19:59] <_joe>  /msg ubottu etiquette
[19:59] <WanderingKnight> :/
[19:59] <astro76> WanderingKnight: look into LVM in the future if you want to be able to adjust partitions easily
[20:00] <Myrtti> eTranquility: hate to break it to you but you might've just overwritten the madwifi drivers you installed
[20:00] <DellGuy> does anyone know of a bootable flash drive linux that doesnt require that you boot to a livecd first to configure it?
[20:00] <WanderingKnight> not even my PC, and I don't wanna have to come here again
[20:00] <WanderingKnight> damn gparted
[20:00] <eTranquility> Mrytti, is there any way I can have both sound and wireless functioning?
[20:00] <delight> hi ... anybody here that knows how to make ff3 in hardy 64bit run java applets ?
[20:00] <atlef> DellGuy: PartedMagic
[20:00] <astro76> WanderingKnight: it's not specific to gparted
[20:00] <vinboy> hi
[20:00] <afallenhope> Anyone know why when I hit CTRL + ALT + F1 I get a blank black sceen?
[20:00] <bigjoe4> here is the contents of menu.lst : http://paste.ubuntu.com/14597/
[20:00] <Myrtti> eTranquility: so you didn't notice that the sound isn't working until you fixed the wireless?
[20:01] <WanderingKnight> astro76: so what may the issue be, then?
[20:01] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: press enter and see what happens
[20:01] <atlef> DellGuy: http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMagic.php
[20:01] <astro76> afallenhope: are you using a vga= option ?
[20:01] <WanderingKnight> I mean, it's not an insane amount of space and it's like, IDE
[20:01] <vinboy> can someone please remove the chicken screenshot of Eye of GNOME?? i have a phobia and it almost caused me a heart attack!
[20:01] <Jeff2> emma: the motheboard is a SY-P4I875P with a p4
[20:01] <woli> afallenhope, stop the damn trolling and help out
[20:01] <woli> or get outa here
[20:01] <delight> afallenhope: thats the default behaviour ... you got many consols
[20:01] <Myrtti> woli: tut-tut
[20:01] <DellGuy> atlas95, is this OS only for partition editing though/
[20:01] <afallenhope> woli: shut up. I've been help so shut it.
[20:01] <RoAkSoAx> delight, you mean you wanna install java plugin for ff in hardy 64?
[20:01] <syca> Does anyone here use Audacious music player?
[20:01] <afallenhope> helping*
[20:02] <bigjoe4> I have done the munu.lst thing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14597/
[20:02] <woli> that won't bring a blank screen, will bring ubuntu in console mode
[20:02] <afallenhope> astro76: not that I'm aware of
[20:02] <astro76> WanderingKnight: you're moving a lot of data around and it has to calculate where to put it
[20:02] <lukehasnoname> afallenhope: You have multiple screens. ctrl + alt + F7 gives you your default desktop screen
[20:02] <woli> so stop asking the damn same question then
[20:02] <lukehasnoname> syca: I do not.
[20:02] <eTranquility> Myrtti, I'm pretty sure sound died when wireless was fixed. Sound now works but wireless does not.
[20:02] <^root^> anyone?
[20:02] <emma> woli: remain calm my friend :)
[20:02] <afallenhope> lukehasnoname: I know (and it's only CTRL + f7)
[20:02] <Myrtti> eTranquility: hm
[20:02] <astro76> afallenhope: you would have put it in /boot/grub/menu.lst to alter console size
[20:02] <lukehasnoname> Does anyone know why my master volume does not control the volume for the rest of the system?
[20:02] <WanderingKnight> astro76: but it's ext3... and there was a sizeable amount of space free...  I am just a user like you and I understand that people can get frustrated. Let's not ruin the channel though. Be calm :)
[20:04] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: check /etc/default/console-setup
[20:04] <bigjoe4> brb
[20:04] <woli> lukehasnoname, probably because your not controlling the right thing. Go into system sound preferences and select the item that you want to controll volume to
[20:04] <WanderingKnight> astro76: hey there, it finished
[20:04] <WanderingKnight> thanks
[20:04] <WanderingKnight> I was getting nervous
[20:04] <Slart> syca: I use audacious now and then
[20:04] <astro76> WanderingKnight: heh no prob
[20:04] <atlef> bigjoe4:  change the line " 14 default     0" to " default 3"
[20:05] <delight> RoAkSoAx: yes ... i tried both gcjwebplugins that are offered when you go to a site with java applet ... but the best i got was grey boxes
[20:05] <^root^> anyone?
[20:05] <dolphin_noel>  Hello
[20:05] <atlef> bigjoe4:  and Windows should start first
[20:05] <RoAkSoAx> delight, try installing it from a terminal: sudo apt-get install icedtea-java7-plugin
[20:05] <RoAkSoAx> delight, i did it that way and it worked just fine
[20:06] <Ienorand> astro76: Hmm, X3500 is for desktops, for lappy I'm stuck wiv X3100 if I'm going Intel.
[20:06] <dolphin_noel> someone knows how can i upgrade one machine whith ubuntu 7.10  to 8.04 from cd-rom from one machine that dont have internet connection?!
[20:06] <delight> RoAkSoAx: i remember on 32bit gutsy i simply had a alternatives firefox javaplugin linking to the plugin provided by the sun-java-jdk
[20:06] <astro76> Ienorand: I just got a thinkpad t61 with x3100 ;)
[20:06] <Flannel> dolphin_noel: You need the alternate CD
[20:06] <Ienorand> astro76: which afaik is kinda crappy...
[20:06] <alan_m> !upgrade | dolphin_noel
[20:06] <Flannel> ^root^: does about:plugins show it?
[20:06] <dolphin_noel> Flannel it only work whith alternaed cd ?????????????  Count which os do you want. The default will run the item number, but counting from 0, not from 1--like humans do.
[20:06] <alan_m> dolphin_noel, yep
[20:06] <ounie> apart from ubuntu, how can register in C forum so i can ask in the room?
[20:07] <Flannel> dolphin_noel: Upgrading only works with the alternate CD, yes.  Desktop CD will allow you to reinstall
[20:07] <dolphin_noel> download dowload download o0 0o :)
[20:07] <afallenhope> http://pastebin.com/d56c113fd that's the thin I get
[20:07] <dolphin_noel> thanks for the help :)
[20:07] <Flannel> !register | ounie
[20:07] <Ienorand> astro76: Have you tried anything intenser on it?
[20:07] <Starnestommy> ounie: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[20:07] <woli> is there a pictogram maker for ubuntu?
[20:07] <astro76> Ienorand: I don't game really so it's more than enough, good enough for games which are a few years old or normal 3d stuff, or compiz even
[20:07] <^root^> Flannel: FF show: missing plugins, and when I click install missing plugins, it shows me I think 4 options, and when I click any of them, it says already installed
[20:07] <astro76> Ienorand: google earth runs great ;)
[20:07] <atlef> bigjoe4: did you get that?
[20:08] <afallenhope> Starnestommy: http://pastebin.com/d56c113fd
[20:08] <astro76> Ienorand: but to me it's more important to not deal with proprietary driver problems
[20:08] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: what about ps aux | grep getty?
[20:08] <RoAkSoAx> delight, yes hardy 64
[20:09] <woli> i get this alsa problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14596/plain/        Can somebody help me?
[20:09] <afallenhope> Starnestommy: http://pastebin.com/d72096bd
[20:09] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: do any of the other virtual consoles work?
[20:09] <bigjoe4> OK, back now
[20:09] <Flannel> ^root^: And you have the -plugin packages installed?
[20:09] <delight> RoAkSoAx: its seems a few applets are working ... others ain't
[20:09] <Flannel> !nickspam > coddingfunt
[20:09] <RoAkSoAx> delight, i had the same problem, when i installed it through FF, i had a grey screen.. but when i did it through a terminal, it worked just fine
[20:10] <afallenhope> Starnestommy: nope
[20:10] <delight> RoAkSoAx: can you try http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml?ff3
[20:10] <Ienorand> astro76: Okay, well I was thinking of being able to play at least some of the current games... at the point of giving up to proprietary stuff.
[20:10] <bigjoe4> let me just catch up on posts I misssed
[20:10] <afallenhope> Starnestommy:  i have verbose off though should I turn that on?
[20:10] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: that might not fix anything
[20:10] <atlef> bigjoe4:  change the line " 14 default     0" to " default 3"
[20:10] <delight> RoAkSoAx: or for example http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/watch/ci6DbhEI
[20:10] <lukehasnoname> Ya woli, I don't know how to help you. Usually when something can't be opened, it's being used by something else.
[20:10] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: there might be a related bug report on launchpad.net
[20:10] <astro76> Ienorand: it's a tough call since nvidia works better now but ati has committed to open-source support
[20:10] <Ienorand> astro76: But would you say any of ati/nvidia is a lesser evil?
[20:10] <^root^> Flannel: yes, each one of them
[20:10] <delight> RoAkSoAx:  that ones working with the plugin http://www.heise.de/security/dienste/browsercheck/tests/java.shtml
[20:11] <idefine> if the password for a user expires while they are logged in, will they be logged out?
[20:11] <prodigel> I want to set the group id for some binary in ubuntu 8.04. I've tried g+s and 4777 and no s appears for the group access rights. Is there something more to set for this to work?
[20:11] <woli> lukehasnoname, like what could be using my audio device?
[20:11] <lukehasnoname> As far as my problem and your suggestion, my volume control is controlling alsa, which is correct. Wheatever I adjust the master volume too, the volume remains unchanged.
[20:11] <Ienorand> astro76: Yea, and then ati might be good in the future... or not...
[20:11] <lukehasnoname> Any music or media player you have open
[20:11] <RoAkSoAx> delight, sometimes, i have to remove it an install it again to get it working
[20:11] <woli> i have none
[20:11] <bigjoe4> atlef: OK, does it matter how many spaces there are between the words
[20:12] <evilbug> what can i use to convert an .avi to .dv?
[20:12] <Flannel> idefine: No, it shoulddnt.  They just wouldn't be able to use the password any more
[20:12] <woli> i only have pidgin open, and gedit
[20:12] <atlef> bigjoe4: i think so, so just replace 0 with 3
[20:12] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-via/+bug/21416
[20:12] <bigjoe4> OK, I will test it in a minute
[20:12] <atlef> bigjoe4: in the line
[20:13] <idefine> Flannel: anyway to have services running by that user turn off?
[20:13] <delight> RoAkSoAx: it works all good in for example konqueror as browser ... but not in FF3
[20:13] <bigjoe4> atlef: eh?
[20:13] <Ienorand> astro76: anyhow, thanks for yar comments, much appreciated : )
[20:13] <astro76> Ienorand: I'd say nvidia since it works better now, also going by what they put in thinkpads which are all linux supported, vidia
[20:13] <astro76> nvidia
[20:13] <Flannel> idefine: kill
[20:13] <atlef> bigjoe4: in that li line
[20:13] <atlef> *in that line
[20:13] <astro76> Ienorand: in fact, I'd recommend a thinkpad :P
[20:13] <bigjoe4> line 14 you mean?
[20:13] <bigjoe4> I have changed it
[20:13] <atlef> bigjoe4: yes
[20:14] <RoAkSoAx> delight, it's pretty weird cuz i had it working on FF3, and sometimes it does not work, and sometimes it does, sames as flashplugin
[20:14] <afallenhope> Starnestommy: I can get back to the GUI though.. just the virtual terminals don't seem to work. Was wondering if I updated my gfx card.
[20:14] <atlef> bigjoe4: you need to reboot to see if it worked
[20:14] <bigjoe4> atlef: I will do
[20:14] <bigjoe4> atlef: I'll be back in a minute!
[20:14] <atlef> hope so :-)
[20:14] <lnar> any other page with gnome themes but gnome look?
[20:14] <oldcpu> woli, run a diagnostic script for more info. Type:   wget http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh    #and then run script with:  bash alsa-info.sh   #and then post here output URL it provides
[20:14] <delight> RoAkSoAx: well hopefully it gets better ... thats a quite bad behaviour
[20:15] <bigjoe4> atlef: problem: it won't let me save the file
[20:15] <RoAkSoAx> delight, yep it is, but well, hope when ff3 is stable, everything will work right
[20:15] <katatsumuri> Hi all. I have a small problem. When I try to print something, the printer recieves the file, but doesn't start to print. It says "processing" for 30 seconds, then marks it as completed. Any ideas?
[20:15] <cypha> how would i access my USB Drive in the terminal if it's called WD Passport?
[20:15] <woli> i set all my sound prefs to alsa, and my computer still sounds. does that mean that it works?
[20:15] <vova_kubba> hi all ;)
[20:15] <bigjoe4> atlef: "You do not have the necessary permissions to save the file."
[20:15] <Flannel> cypha: Has it already been mounted by gnome or no?
[20:16] <cypha> yes
[20:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo | bigjoe4
[20:16] <^root^> so, anyone?
[20:16] <cypha> i see it in when i type ls in the /media directory
[20:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo | bigjoe4
[20:16] <cypha> but how do i actually open it
[20:16] <oldcpu> woli, a good test for basic sound is:   speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -twav
[20:16] <Flannel> cypha: then cd /media/whatever-it-is
[20:16] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: are you using a nvidia card?
[20:16] <atlef> bigjoe4: well you need to edit as root. press alt+F2 and write gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:16] <afallenhope> Starnestommy: there's no VBEMode in the
[20:16] <emma> bigjoe4: what file are you trying to change or save?
[20:16] <afallenhope> xorg.conf
[20:16] <vova_kubba> how i can decode my files(mp3) to utf8?
[20:16] <afallenhope> Starnestommy:  yeah. GeForce Go 6105
[20:16] <oldcpu> woli, that test needs to be stopped by pressing <CTRL><C>
[20:16] <atlef> bigjoe4: then save
[20:17] <astro76> cypha: put a \ before the space, or enclose the whole path in "quotes"
[20:17] <cypha> astro76, thanks
[20:17] <bigjoe4> too many people talking at once
[20:17] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/193529

[20:17] <atlef> bigjoe4: then save
[20:17] <astro76> cypha: or type WD and press tab ;)
[20:17] <cypha> Flannel, that didnt work
[20:17] <bigjoe4> atlef: OK
[20:17] <Flannel> cypha: what didn't work?
[20:17] <cypha> OH COOL
[20:17] <woli> oldcpu, i did run the test, but it told me that results were going to be posted to pastebin, but i don't know how to pass results to you
[20:17] <lnar> does any one know some page with gtk engines?? NOT GNOME LOOK
[20:17] <astro76> cypha: tab completion works all over, you should press it often
[20:17] <forexbot> hi all.... Can some one here explain how to get my flash player installed?
[20:17] <Flannel> cypha: you can also tabcomplete it, and it'll do all that magically
[20:17] <cypha> how do i go back one directory, btw?
[20:17] <Flannel> cypha: cd ..

[20:18] <emma> atlef: I like your alt+F2 trick. I did not know that.
[20:18] <oldcpu> woli, is the PC not on the internet ?
[20:18] <bigjoe4> atlef: alt+12 does not do anything

[20:19] <legend2440> woli: in terminal type asoundconf list is only one sound card listed?
[20:19] <emma> atlef: Also I always use gksudo rather than gksu, what is the difference and which should I be advising people to use here?
[20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> emma remember F7 to get back to gui
[20:19] <Myrtti> !de > dedmakar
[20:19] <atlef> bigjoe4: F2
[20:19] <woli> oldcpu, it didn't give me any url
[20:19] <astro76> emma: gksudo is symlinked to gksu
[20:19] <Flannel> emma: They're identical
[20:19] <Jeff2> would anyone mind pm'ing me to help me with some installation problems i am having?
[20:19] <emma> okies
[20:19] <forexbot> Starnestommy: Says it's already the newest version?
[20:19] <woli> well is THIS pc
[20:19] <forexbot> but flash still won't work?
[20:19] <atlef> emma: as i know, no difference
[20:19] <woli> in the one i'm doing ircx
[20:19] <bigjoe4> atlef: it does not do anything
[20:19] <Starnestommy> forexbot: tried restarting firefox?
[20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Jeff2 for your safety and the benefit of others please keep it in channel
[20:20] <forexbot> duh.. LOL thanks blonde moment.
[20:20] <atlef> bigjoe4: the keys "Alt and F2" pressed at the same time
[20:20] <oldcpu> woli, ok ... let me give you another script ... this one you need to run with root permissions:  wget http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/tsalsa  #followed by:  bash tsalsa  #and post output url here
[20:20] <forexbot> also why can't i import the gpg key for medibuntu?
[20:20] <afallenhope> Starnestommy: most of the issues that I googled said that it's an issue with getting back to the GUI... I can go from the VT to GUI.. only nothing shows up
[20:20] <Jeff2> jack_sparrow: my safety? what am i going to get mugged?
[20:20] <alan_m> well folks ill be back in a bit :)
[20:20] <astro76> forexbot: are you using hardy
[20:20] <Myrtti> Jeff2: perhaps getting bad advice?
[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Jeff2 no but you could get bad advice
[20:20] <forexbot> yep
[20:20] <Cooper> Anyone wanna give me a hand to figure out why my cdrom drive is not working once I switched my hard drive out from a T60 to a T61?
[20:21] <bigjoe4> atlef: yes I did that but nothing happens
[20:21] <astro76> forexbot: you can use sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring, see if that works
[20:21] <woli> oldcpu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14600/plain/
[20:21] <Jeff2> jack_sparrow: to be honest I can't read fast enough to handle reading the general room
[20:21] <oldcpu> woli looking
[20:21] <legend2440> woli: in terminal type         asoundconf list        is only one sound card listed?
[20:21] <evilbug> what can i use to convert an .avi to .dv?
[20:21] <cypha> how can i synch my vista documents folder with the linux one?
[20:21] <Jeff2> jack_sparrow: and still work on comp
[20:21] <Flannel> Jeff2: You only have to read the lines addressed to you.  They should also be highlighted in your client
[20:21] <forexbot> astro76: That seems to work... The directions on the medibuntu pages didn't just FYI :)
[20:21] <woli> legend2440, yes, only my soundcard (audigy2)
[20:21] <cypha> or how can i just have the linux one see the vista one, so i don't waste disk space?
[20:22] <atlef> bigjoe4: then open a terminal and write " sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst "
[20:22] <Jeff2> i am trying to install ubuntu 7.10 from the alternate installer, and it can't find my HD
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> atlef gksudo gedit .. thanks
[20:22] <bigjoe4> atlef: OK
[20:22] <oldcpu> woli, that URL doesn't make sense ...
[20:22] <PaRaSiTe> Can anyone give me a guide for reinstalling GRUB?    All the articles I've found so far have just confused me.
[20:22] <hwilde> !gksu | bigjoe4, atlef
[20:22] <oldcpu> woli, is that from the script I gave ?
[20:22] <saint-takeshi> cypha: you still working on that?
[20:22] <hwilde> !fixgrub | Paracha
[20:22] <astro76> bigjoe4, atlef, use gksudo gedit
[20:22] <hwilde> !fixgrub | PaRaSiTe
[20:22] <Makar> !de > Makar
[20:22] <emma> Jeff2: which chat client are you using?
[20:22] <Jeff2> emma: xchat
[20:22] <PaRaSiTe> astro76: Thanks.
[20:22] <bigjoe4> who is right?
[20:23] <oldcpu> woli, the script should end, with a URL , telling you to post the URL
[20:23] <hwilde> !gksu | bigjoe4
[20:23] <SJrX> Anyone know a good tool that will stress out hardware on a *server* that I Can run for 24 hours remotely?
[20:23] <Flannel> bigjoe4: Doesn't matter, gksu and gksudo are identical
[20:23] <Jeff2> emma: just installed irc to get ubuntu help, never actually used it before
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> bigjoe4 gksudo for gui apps...
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> gksu too
[20:23] <mxjv> mah, can someone help me killing a process?
[20:23] <SJrX> kill process
[20:23] <atlef> astro76: gksu works just as good
[20:23] <cypha> saint-takeshi, yup
[20:23] <mxjv> kill -9 didnt help
[20:23] <astro76> atlef: it does indeed
[20:23] <cypha> sorta
[20:24] <mxjv> its totem
[20:24] <cypha> i didn't finish, at least
[20:24] <woli> oldcpu, the first one you sent me said that the results would automaticly be posted to the pastebin. it didn't gave any url back and the console closed after the test finished
[20:24] <bbyever> mxjv: you need the pid for kill -9
[20:24] <cypha> can i have linux see the NTFS documents folder instead of its own?
[20:24] <legend2440> woli: in terminal type     alsamixer        is that sound card (Audigy2) named in upper left hand corner?
[20:24] <Starnestommy> mxjv: kill number-of-process, or kill -9 number-of-process, or system->administration->system monitor
[20:24] <oldcpu> woli, you need to run the script from a konsole, ... not from a command line
[20:24] <mxjv> yeah yeah, i got the pid, but it didn't die
[20:24] <mxjv> and its not a zombie
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs-3g
[20:24] <oldcpu> woli, or from an xterm
[20:24] <bbyever> mxjv:  sudo
[20:24] <astro76> cypha: no, you home directory really should be on a filesystem with linux permissions
[20:24] <mxjv> tried that too
[20:24] <woli> legent, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[20:24] <mxjv> maybe i should strace it
[20:25] <cypha> what do you mean astro76 ?
[20:25] <astro76> cypha: I mean you can't use a windows filesystem for your linux home
[20:25] <mark__> I have a tuner card but cannot get /dev/radio or /dev/video to show up... what should I do?
[20:25] <atlef> bigjoe4: are you getting there?
[20:25] <legend2440> woli: in terminal         asoundconf set-default-card Audigy2
[20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> astro76 no
[20:25] <DellGuy> can someone tell me the command to list all attached media in ubuntu?
[20:25] <astro76> cypha: you can just mount your vista partition and access it aas needed
[20:25] <lr5> DellGuy: mount?
[20:25] <bigjoe4> atlef: yes it has saved now so I will reboot the PC
[20:25] <DellGuy> lr5, that is a command ?
[20:25] <atlef> bigjoe4: good
[20:25] <bigjoe4> atlef: brb
[20:25] <lr5> DellGuy: yes, no idea if that's what you want though
[20:26] <cypha> astro76, i always need it
[20:26] <astro76> Jack_Sparrow: it's probably technically possible but would you seriously recommend using a vista documents folder as a linux home?
[20:26] <cypha> unless i start using the linux one exclusively
[20:26] <cypha> can i at least synch a few files?
[20:26] <mxjv> sudo kill -9 8557 didn't kill my process, any ideas?
[20:26] <woli> legend2440, now what?
[20:26] <astro76> cypha: that's fine, it's easily accessible ;)
[20:26] <legend2440> woli: then try alsamixer again same error?
[20:26] <woli> yes
[20:26] <cypha> it's not, it's a buncha clicks
[20:26] <Starnestommy> mxjv: sudo killall totem
[20:26] <Jack_Sparrow> astro76 never
[20:26] <Jeff2> when the textmode installation asks for disk drivers, is it asking for the actual hd drivers or just the sata chip drivers?
[20:26] <nickrud> astro76 don't think it's possible, at least for some thinks, like dmrc requiring certain perms, among other things
[20:26] <fxfitz> Is samba only available to the local network, or is it accessable by the whole internet?
[20:26] <mxjv> nope :(
[20:26] <afallenhope> Starnestommy:  so Im pretty sol eh?
[20:27] <Baco1> Is berly supported on the new 8.08 releast?
[20:27] <astro76> nickrud: ssh is another
[20:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !beryl
[20:27] <lnar> fxfitz, depends how u ocnfigure it
[20:27] <Baco1> !compiz
[20:27] <Baco1> Thanks jack
[20:27] <Flannel> Jeff2: Is this a super new mobo/drive?  Have you tried 8.04, see if it works?
[20:27] <Starnestommy> afallenhope: unless you can disable the nvidia driver or wait for a bugfix
[20:27] <legend2440> woli: in terminal         lspci   is sound card listed?
[20:28] <woli> oldcpu, ill give it a shot
[20:28] <afallenhope> works for me. Thanks for the help Starnestommy
[20:28] <mxjv> damn, it heats up my laptop to 99°C
[20:28] <Jeff2> flannel: no it is a p4 mobo, i tried 8.04 and the regular 7.10 installer and got and xfermode error
[20:28] <oldcpu> woli, just run the scripts from a terminal
[20:28] <mxjv> think i'll just reboot
[20:28] <mxjv> damn
[20:28] <fxfitz> lnar, Well right now it seems like ONLY people on my local network can access it, but I want to configure it so the entire internet can. Do you know what settings I would change?
[20:28] <killakali408650> uhhh hi

[20:29] <soho> killakali408650; just ask
[20:29] <PaRaSiTe> I tried this, but it didn't work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#head-4c7a8640a439568ee312c9f262cc1099634f25ef
[20:29] <killakali408650> i wanted to get ubuntu for my new laptop that i just got
[20:29] <killakali408650> but, im not sure if the drivers will work
[20:29] <dooglus> when I log in, I get XFCE4.  I want GNOME instead, but I can't see the bottom of my screen to click the 'sessions' link in the login screen.  is there some file I can edit to change the default?
[20:30] <PaRaSiTe> Has anyone tried this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#head-1296ce2b184032373f19ad50a91d506eb886ac5f It doesn't sound very... safe.
[20:30] <idefine> is there anyway I can kill all services running by an expired account, when it expires?
[20:30] <bigjoe4> atlef: it did not work, it tried to boot "Other operating systems" insted of selecting "microsoft windows xp professional"
[20:30] <woli> oldcpu, lol, it returned: info located at _____________________ Please inform the person helping you
[20:30] <kasra> Hi , anyone has installed carmen on ubuntu ?
[20:30] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: it's perfectly safe
[20:30] <fxfitz> lnar, No firewall set up, I only have my router. Which samba configuration software do you recommend? :(
[20:30] <killakali408650> im beginning to hate windows soo much, because there are tons of viruses, and i heard that linux is virtually unhackable
[20:30] <atlef> bigjoe4: then i do not know, sorry
[20:30] <oldcpu> ahh a nice blank !!  any chance that _____________ is in another colour and not easy to see ?
[20:30] <atlef> bigjoe4: :-(
[20:30] <dooglus> killakali408650: linux is hackable, but a lot safer than windows
[20:30] <woli> no...
[20:31] <Ashfire908> What is the minimum packages required for doing X forwarding for ssh (on the server, and besides the ssh server itself)?
[20:31] <lnar> fxfitz, use synaptic write samba, it will show many
[20:31] <bigjoe4> atlef: should I cange the number to "4"?
[20:31] <killakali408650> oh, plus i dont like vista using up all my ram
[20:31] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: You just need to reinstall stage1, right?  Windows knocked it out?
[20:31] <woli> is just a blank line
[20:31] <killakali408650> how much ram does xubuntu actually use up with beryl and compiz
[20:31] <killakali408650> ?
[20:31] <oldcpu> woli, ok ... try tsalsa script then .... type "su" (no quotes) first to get root permissions (enter root password), then run it with:  bash tsalsa
[20:31] <woli> oldcpu, and how do i run talsa?
[20:31] <blumm> hello
[20:32] <lnar> killakali408650, i dont know but im using gnome with compiz and many plugins and im using only 300 mb
[20:32] <Flannel> oldcpu, woli, you won't be able to su.  Just use sudo
[20:32] <killakali408650> wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
[20:32] <Starnestommy> oldcpu: that's not needed; sudo bash tsalsa or sudo tsalsa should work
[20:32] <soho> killakali408650; mostly all new devices are supported by ubuntu, but if you will find out if it works with your laptop, try the live-cd
[20:32] <bbyever> !hi | blumm
[20:32] <killakali408650> well what is xubuntu then?
[20:32] <woli> flannel, i noticed, i ran sudo bash test
[20:32] <emma> Jeff2: I'm not sure it would help but if it makes it easier to follow specific people in the channel, with Xchat, you can Preferences -> Alerts, nick names to always highlight
[20:32] <blumm> is there anything similar to task manager in windows? i had a huge popup and i couldnt help myself but to reset my pc :/
[20:32] <woli> it worked
[20:32] <woli> wait for pastebin...
[20:32] <Jack_Sparrow> emma May I have a brief PM .. again.. :)
[20:32] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: I don't really understand.  All I know is I followed those instructions to the letter, all seemed to work, but when I booted I jsut got the normal Windows one.
[20:32] <bbyever> blumm:  system monitor
[20:32] <Starnestommy> blumm: system > administration > system monitor
[20:32] <etyrnal> anyone know how to make curl run silently in the background ?
[20:33] <emma> Jack_Sparrow: yes of course. You never have to ask.
[20:33] <bigjoe4> atlef: how do I do that thing in console again? I need to change it back, but I can't remember what to type
[20:33] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: That page solves a different problm than theone you have.  You want this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[20:33] <m1r> problems with runing KDE applications in ubuntu 8.04 amd64 , amarok and k3b reporting that DCOP server is not runing and some folders are unwritable. here is output of starting amarok thru console: http://pastebin.com/m7c4fb6e7 . anyone have simimlar issues ?
[20:33] <astro76> blumm: alt+f2, type xkill, then click a window to kill it
[20:33] <astro76> blumm: also at worst case you could have probably done ctrl+alt+backspace to restart x windows
[20:33] <blumm> ahh - thanks a lot
[20:33] <blumm> i felt really bad to reset ubuntu like this =)
[20:34] <ryanakca> Would it be possible to run debian programs by creating a Debian chroot with that program in it and running it from there?
[20:34] <Jeff2> i am trying to install ubuntu 7 or 8 on an older p4. When i use the gui installer for either version i get and xfermode error and cannot install. The web suggested adding irqpoll to the command line which did not help. I downloaded and tried installing the 7.10 alternate and it gave me the message irq 19: nobody cares and several lines later it gives me the xfermode error. eventually it does get past the error and go to the texmode insta
[20:34] <Jeff2> ller. but when it goes to look for the HD it cannot find it and asks me to select a driver from a list. anyone hve any ideas?
[20:34] <bbyever> etyrnal: curl &
[20:34] <killakali408650> as far as i know it looks like xubuntu is like a different form of ubuntu, and that it is very light
[20:34] <soho> bigjoe4; gedit make a backup-file before saving, take a look at it, it's hidden in the same folder
[20:34] <Flannel> killakali408650: That's more or less correct.  It uses XFCE instead of Gnome
[20:34] <genii> m1r: Does ls -l ~/.DCOPserver*          show that file being owned by the username or root?
[20:34] <dar1> how to force check a sistemdisk at boot? because I restarted 10-15 times PC on Restart button in Ubunu (pc freezes at screensaver). How are the chanches of making damage to operating sistem by those 10-15 restarts?
[20:34] <blumm> is it possible to assign a hotkey to system-monitor?
[20:35] <nickrud> Jeff2 you could try all_generic_ide instead of irqpoll, I've heard of that working in some cases
[20:35] <killakali408650> what is the difference between xfce and gnome, like what is each one primarily targeted at
[20:35] <woli> oldcpu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14604/plain/
[20:35] <etyrnal> bbyever, that part i understood, but how do i suppress it's output to the terminal?
[20:35] <DIL> i had xp on a laptop amd tried to load xubuntu and it would load it is supposed to to way lighter than xp but go figure
[20:35] <dar1>  killakali408650, gnome on powerful pc and xface on older machines
[20:35] <nickrud> genii by me on my machine
[20:36] <salah_> There is a annoying problem with my sound on Ubuntu. Only one device can be used at a time. If I watch a flash video with Firefox, I have to quit the firefox process before starting the media player. Any idea how to fix this problem?
[20:36] <Jeff2> nickrud: i will try that but i don't think that will work. in the list of drivers one is listed as generic ide and it doesn't work. the disk is also a sata disk
[20:36] <Starnestommy> killakali408650: gnome is larger and has more applications in it, but xfce is lightweight and minimalist
[20:36] <oldcpu> woli, looks like you had problems running that with root permissions
[20:36] <killakali408650> ohh i see
[20:36] <killakali408650> sooo my new laptop will b way faster with linux that with the crappy vista
[20:36] <killakali408650> :D
[20:36] <nickrud> Jeff2 worth a shot but I don't stand by the advice very strongly
[20:36] <blumm> astro76: thanks for that hint :)
[20:37] <woli> legend2440, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14605/plain/
[20:37] <Starnestommy> killakali408650: gnome is targeted more to average users, while xfce is for people who can work without all of gnome/kde's extra feeatures
[20:37] <oldcpu> woli, you should get something like .... uploading /tmp/tsalsa.txt to nopaste.com ... tsalsa completed in 43 seconds ... paste this url in #alsa: http://nopaste.com/someurlstuff
[20:37] <woli> oldcpu, yes... How can i do? su says authetification failure
[20:37] <bbyever> etyrnal: i dont know, sorry
[20:37]  * nickrud wonders if he should be insulted by Starnestommy's inference
[20:37] <nickrud> Starnestommy a joke, forgot the smiley
[20:37] <Jack_Sparrow> woli sudo , bash sudo etc...   not su
[20:37] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: That page has the same solution. ;)
[20:37] <killakali408650> what kind of features come with the gnome/kde?? is it anything that would impact me playing multimedia and converting file types?
[20:37] <dar1> how to force check a sistem partition at boot? because I restarted 10-15 times PC on Restart button in Ubunu (pc freezes at screensaver). How are the chanches of making damage to operating sistem by those 10-15 restarts?
[20:38] <oldcpu> woli, ... did you try:    sudo bash tsalsa
[20:38] <Starnestommy> killakali408650: most things that run in gnome or kde can run in xfce
[20:38] <legend2440> dar1: to force fschk in terminal              sudo shutdown -F -r now
[20:38] <DIL> killakali408650: obtain >512 of memory and you will be good to go
[20:38] <etyrnal> bbyever, thank anyway
[20:38] <woli> oldcpu, that is what I tried. Any other suggestion?
[20:38] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: Oh wait, I need the second part...
[20:38] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: Can't I just reinstall Ubuntu? :P
[20:38] <oldcpu> woli, try again, but note quotes:    sudo 'bash tsalsa'
[20:39] <legend2440> woli: do you have audio integrated on motherboard along with audigy card?
[20:39] <woli> 'bash tsalsa' is command not found
[20:39] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: Er... it has the same way... at the very bottom.  Do the first method or the second.
[20:39] <killakali408650> oh i have 2gigs on my laptop that i just bought, but im gonna try out ubuntu on my eeepc that i just purchased and if it works out good, then im going to power up my very expensive laptop with it lol
[20:39] <dar1> legend2440, fschk command not found
[20:39] <woli> i don't think so, legend2440
[20:39] <DIL> killakali408650: gnome is "full bodied" xfce is not
[20:39] <Starnestommy> woli: try without the ' marks
[20:39] <killakali408650> full bodied
[20:39] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: you *could* install Ubuntu, but you'd... well, have to reinstall Ubuntu
[20:39] <DIL> killakali408650: yea!!
[20:39] <legend2440> dar1: to force hard drive check type in terminal  >>>            sudo shutdown -F -r now
[20:39] <killakali408650> hmmm, full bodied meaning that sum of the codes that xfce deosn't have ubuntu has
[20:40] <woli> starnestommy, it says i need root priviledges to run script
[20:40] <killakali408650> ??
[20:40] <Starnestommy> woli: sudo ./tsalsa
[20:40] <nickrud> killakali408650 nice integration of system stuff, xfce assumes you can configure it yourself. Main difference imho
[20:40] <killakali408650> ohhhh i see
[20:40] <woli> ./tsalsa: command not found
[20:40] <killakali408650> no wonder the videos i have seen with xfce(xubuntu) installation the user had to go and configure things themselves
[20:40] <DIL> killakali408650: xfce is light it would defeat the purpose
[20:40] <woli> but it is in desktop
[20:40] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: I mean the instruction from the GrubHowTo page.
[20:40] <woli> and i'n running cd'ed in desktop
[20:41] <Starnestommy> woli: try sudo bash ./tsalsa
[20:41] <oldcpu> woli, type:  ls tsalsa
[20:41] <max_> I need help getting something working with the program: motion (for webcams). For some reason, the pictures are being taken WAY too fast, and because of that they are unable to upload to FTP due to the fact that there are too many files being sent at once, so nothing goes though.
[20:41] <dar1> legend2440, :) hehe thanx I didnt knowed whays fschk at begginig LOL thanks
[20:41] <killakali408650> ohhh and i had a question about adding tarballs on like beryl and compiz, how exactly is it done?
[20:41] <oldcpu> woli, is the file there ?
[20:41] <woli> starnestommy, same as sudo bash tsalsa
[20:41] <bigjoe4> atlef: I changed it to "4" and it now works :)
[20:41] <nickrud> killakali408650 not necessary to get the tarballs, the stuff is available pre-compiled from the repos
[20:41] <DIL> killakali408650: now my experience with xfce is on an old gateway with 256 memory
[20:41] <atlef> bigjoe4: nice
[20:41] <woli> oldcpu, it is
[20:41] <killakali408650> ohhhh
[20:42] <nickrud> !components | killakali408650
[20:42] <oldcpu> woli, what did you get when you typed:  ls tsalsa ?
[20:42] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: Right.  The only one that is the same is the *last* set of instructions on the RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows page.  Do one of ht eones at the top
[20:42] <bigjoe4> atlef: thankyou very much
[20:42] <woli> yes
[20:42] <killakali408650> i have a very old system that is just sitting there collecting dust as well
[20:42] <woli> and it returned tsalsa
[20:42] <atlef> bigjoe4: you are welcome
[20:42] <killakali408650> lol xfce wud work for that
[20:42] <killakali408650> :D
[20:42] <killakali408650> thank you guys
[20:42] <bigjoe4> how cvome there's over 1000 people in this chat??
[20:42] <killakali408650> also i heard that there were sum router problems with ubuntu and xubuntu
[20:42] <rsk> bigjoe4: ubuntu is popular
[20:42] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: OK.  Like "Overwriting the Windows bootloader"?
[20:42] <nickrud> killakali408650 if it's over 768mb mem, gnome will run just wonderfully on p3 and above, below that you want to consider xubuntu
[20:43] <NeoGeo64> Can someone help me figure out why zsnes and other games have no audio when another application is playing/using audio
[20:43] <killakali408650> like people couldn't connect to their own networks
[20:43] <oldcpu> woli, don't know what to say .... sudo bash tsalsa #works on my pc
[20:43] <atlef> bigjoe4: but do not undrestand that it had to be "4", but OK
[20:43] <bigjoe4> atlef: well it works
[20:43] <afikri> My laptop Asus X51RLseries, ATI Radeon Graphics x1100 when I try to enable ATI accelerated graphics, when I reboot, it becomes blank. but when I try to boot in recovery mode it becomes normal. What is wrong with it?
[20:43] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: right.
[20:43] <nickrud> killakali408650 not really, it's always doable
[20:43] <atlef> bigjoe4: :-)
[20:43] <killakali408650> doable?
[20:43] <Coops> Afternoon, anyone around think they may be able to help me get my dvd drive mounted? Ever since I moved my hard drive to my T61 from my T60 the damn dvd drive hasn't worked.
[20:43] <killakali408650> is there a special thing you have to do to be able to connect to your network?
[20:44] <woli> oldcpu, it runs the script, but says that i have to be in root to run lsof. I guess the script uses lsof in some line
[20:44] <nickrud> killakali408650 may take configuration on xubuntu, should work out of the box on a dhcp network in either
[20:44] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: That one is confusing me, they keep changing which HDA they're talking about. :-/
[20:44] <afikri> guys
[20:44] <killakali408650> ohhh
[20:44] <woli> wait a minute
[20:44] <killakali408650> so with ubuntu i would still have to configure the network settings and such
[20:45] <atlef> !ask > afikri:
[20:45] <oldcpu> woli, by typing "sudo" first you should have root permissions
[20:45] <afikri> My laptop Asus X51RLseries, ATI Radeon Graphics x1100 when I try to enable ATI accelerated graphics, when I reboot, it becomes blank. but when I try to boot in recovery mode it becomes normal. What is wrong with it?
[20:45]  * bigjoe4 tests this thing
[20:45] <CotH> Hello.   I am looking to install a dual boot with Windows XP x64, I have two hard disks.  Do I partition on the same disk as XP for Ubuntu?
[20:45] <Rat409> .cl
[20:45] <dare> legend2440, it wasnt command for check sistem partition on startup it was for forcing shutdown!
[20:45] <nickrud> killakali408650 probably not (wired). I had problems in one network, because the nameservers didn't get picked up, but that was the only case where just plugging in the laptop didn't work
[20:45] <guitarthrasher> afikri, some of the ATI drivers are blacklisted
[20:45] <guitarthrasher> they might not work.
[20:45] <afikri> i see
[20:45] <killakali408650> ohhh, i have wireless all the way
[20:46] <guitarthrasher> afikri, check the forums for your problem.
[20:46] <NeoGeo64> Can someone help me figure out why zsnes and other games have no audio when another application is playing/using audio
[20:46] <DIL> CotH: you can put it on a separtae
[20:46] <guitarthrasher> i'm sure there's an answer somewhere on there.
[20:46] <afikri> ok
[20:46] <woli> oldcpu, i don't know why
[20:46] <nickrud> killakali408650 wire up to install, trust me. Then work on wireless afterwards. Wireless is problematic for some chipsets
[20:46] <CotH> DIL: Will GRUB still pick it up?
[20:46] <woli> oldcpu, what does your tsalsa return?
[20:46] <DIL> CotH: yes
[20:47] <CotH> DIL: Excellent
[20:47] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: thats because they're taking you through how to figure out which partition has /boot on it.  If you only have one Ubuntu partition, that would be it.
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> CotH if you have room on the primary with xp it seems to work out easier
[20:47] <CotH> Wish me luck!
[20:47] <guitarthrasher> gl CotH!
[20:47] <guitarthrasher> lol
[20:47] <killakali408650> oh okay
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> CotH also please check out sep /home partition
[20:47] <oldcpu> woli, on one of my PCs I get this:  paste this url in #alsa: http://nopaste.com/p/aQpd4OG4I
[20:47] <killakali408650> thank you nickrud
[20:47] <CotH> Jack_Sparrow: That was my instinct
[20:47] <killakali408650> :)
[20:47] <freddy_engels> I keep having a problem with pulseaudio and X11, when I boot up my computer (intel macbook pro running hardy) X11 fails to load most of the time
[20:47] <killakali408650> and all that helped me :D
[20:47] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: I have one for / and one for /home (and swap space)
[20:47] <FloodBot3> killakali408650: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:47] <freddy_engels> There are some error messages in my syslog
[20:48] <killakali408650> im juts gonna go ahead and install ubuntu
[20:48] <killakali408650> but for some of the drivers where exactly am i supposed to go?
[20:48] <rsk> killakali408650: what drivers ?
[20:48] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: then it'll be the one for /
[20:48] <woli> did you download the script today?
[20:48] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: I understand the first part.  Is it always ext3 though, or ext2 if it's ext2?  And for the final bit, is it always just hda?
[20:48] <woli> oldcpu
[20:48] <woli> ^
[20:48] <loevborg> Question about grub. I have two ubuntu installations, on sda1 and sda4. Right now the computer loads grub from sda4. How do I configure grub so that it uses the grub on the other partition? I don't want the booting process be dependent on sda4.
[20:48] <Jack_Sparrow> CotH if you make / "root" on your primary drive and /home on a different drive /partition you will be well on your way to a great setupo
[20:48] <DIL> killakali408650: dual boot if you can
[20:48] <killakali408650> for the hardware for my laptop
[20:48] <killakali408650> oh
[20:48] <nickrud> killakali408650 if you're using vista, one last piece of advice: use the disk management tool in vista to resize your vista partition. And the vast majority of drivers come with the base install
[20:48] <DefineKThyne> uhmm...after trying to install some fonts, the font in Firefox is invisible. can someone help me?
[20:48] <afallenhope> Is there a way of resetting you Login Window back to the defaults?
[20:48] <rsk> killakali408650: it should be in the kernel
[20:48] <freddy_engels> most of them are along the lines of pulseaudio[5912]: module-x11-xsmp,c: Failed to open conection to session manager: IUO error occured opening connection
[20:48] <oldcpu> woli, I downloaded the script about 10 minutes ago
[20:48] <Flannel> PaRaSiTe: the final bit is always hda, because that's the MBR we want to change.  And yeah, if you have ext2 it wouldn't be ext3
[20:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !fonts
[20:48] <killakali408650> oh
[20:49] <partymetroid> I receive a GRUB loading error 21 whenever I start up my computer.  How do I solve this dilemma?
[20:49] <afallenhope> DefineKThyne: what do you mean as in "invisible"
[20:49] <killakali408650> cuz i was gonna go full fledged linux
[20:49] <PaRaSiTe> Flannel: OK, get it I think.  Wish me luck! :D
[20:49] <woli> oh
[20:49] <woli> me too lol
[20:49] <xenos> kde4 is nice!
[20:49] <killakali408650> partitioning with vista and dual booting seems a bit difficult
[20:49] <killakali408650> i have never dual booted ever
[20:49] <freddy_engels> killakali: it isn't at all
[20:49] <DefineKThyne> afallenhope: invisible as in i can't read it in FF, but i can highlight, copy and paste it into OO or Tomboy and read it.
[20:49] <Starnestommy> partymetroid: "Selected disk does not exist"
[20:49] <afallenhope> Vista is poo lol
[20:49] <CotH> Jack_Sparrow: Okay, ta.
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !dualboot
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[20:50] <mr_flea> Is there a way to set compiz as the default composting manager?
[20:50] <DIL> killakali408650: the install is painless
[20:50] <nickrud> killakali408650 dual but is really easy, the install is built around it
[20:50] <afallenhope> DefineKThyne: hmmm.. have you read the documentation for installing fonts?
[20:50] <nickrud> s/but/boot
[20:50] <killakali408650> ohhh
[20:50] <MarcN> I plugged in a USB disk and changed the properties to where I wanted it to automount. Unfortunately I set it wrong and now it doesn't mount but just complains.  How do I tell hal or whatever it is to let me pick a new mount point for my external disk?
[20:50] <thingfish> DefineKThyne: where are you putting them?
[20:50] <partymetroid> Starnestommy: How do I tell GRUB that the selected disk exists?
[20:50] <woli> oldcpu, i guess i have one wierd computer!
[20:50] <killakali408650> sooo with the partitioning tool i just divide my harddrive in half and have the ubuntu live cd install on the second half?
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> MarcN gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[20:51] <mhz128> Is there a keyboard shortcut for showing the desktop? (minimize all windows)
[20:51] <Starnestommy> partymetroid: mount ubuntu's partition in the livecd, then check the boot/grub/menu.lst on it
[20:51] <DIL> killakali408650: at install it will ask and you can set partitions there
[20:51] <nickrud> killakali408650 technically, you shrink the vista partition to make space for ubuntu
[20:51] <DefineKThyne> afallenhope: yeah i just went through it trying to install my old windows fonts. uhmm...i tried putting them in both /usr/share/fonts/ and /home/[my folder]/.fonts.
[20:51] <killakali408650> ohhhh
[20:51] <Ttech> How do I get talk to work on Ubutnu Server?
[20:51] <woli> oldcpu, my computer has sound, even though all sound mixers are set to alsa, but when I click test in the preferences, it gives an error
[20:51] <MarcN> Jack_Sparrow: I know all about fstab, that isn't want I want for the USB disks that come and go (camera, usb external disk, etc, etc)
[20:51] <paolo> Hi *. I have a NVidia Geforce 6200. At the moment I have been using xinerama connected to 2 external monitors (via DVI + VGA). Is it possible to use the S-video output at the same time?
[20:51] <cypha> what's a good media manager?
[20:51] <PaRaSiTe> How do I find out what kernel I have?
[20:52] <partymetroid> Starnestommy: I forgot to mention that, whenever I pretty ctrl+alt+del, GRUB boots up fine.  It's just really annoying.
[20:52] <afallenhope> DefineKThyne: have you rebooted?
[20:52] <Starnestommy> PaRaSiTe: uname -r
[20:52] <partymetroid> Starnestommy: *press
[20:52] <killakali408650> oh okay thank you guys
[20:52] <DefineKThyne> afallenhope: not recently, good idea. brb
[20:52] <thingfish> I don't think you need to reboot after installing fonts...
[20:52] <MarcN> Jack_Sparrow: it has to be a per user gnome thing
[20:52] <killakali408650> gtg for now :D
[20:52] <PaRaSiTe> Starnestommy: Thanks.  If I have a driver for "2.6.22-14", will it work for newer?
[20:53] <DIL> PaRaSiTe: cat /etc/*-release
[20:53] <nickrud> thingfish run  fc-cache to get any fresh fonts recognized if needed
[20:53] <Starnestommy> PaRaSiTe: it probably will work, but there's a small chance that it won't
[20:53] <paolo> Does anyone know if there is a way to switch Xorg.conf without killing X
[20:53] <PaRaSiTe> Starnestommy: I hope so, thanks. :)
[20:53] <nickrud> paolo read an altered xorg.conf? no.
[20:53] <Starnestommy> paolo: I don't think there is one
[20:54] <Flannel> paolo: try source
[20:54] <thingfish> nickrud: I know how to do fonts.  I was responding to afallenhope's question to DefineKThyne as to whether he rebooted after installing fonts.
[20:54] <poseidon> Whats the command to clear the console screen?
[20:54] <Flannel> poseidon: clear
[20:54] <Starnestommy> poseidon: clear or reset
[20:54] <nickrud> thingfish I didn't see who asked the original question, I figured you knew ;)
[20:54] <oldcpu> woli, sudo password only lasts for 15 min in ubuntu ??  maybe you were unlucky in your timing
[20:54] <DIL> poseidon: clear
[20:54] <MrBashir> When I try to share a folder (it auto installed samba for me) it gives me a " cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
[20:54] <PaRaSiTe> Another question. :) In the readme for the driver, it says "sudo ./setup".  Where am I CD'd to during this?  Is that exactly how I type it (with the ./)?
[20:54] <partymetroid> Starnestommy: I can check Ubuntu's menu.lst right now.  Should I paste it to pastebin?
[20:54] <evilbug> can i import video off of a dvd with pitivi?
[20:54] <Ttech> How do I get talk to operate on Ubutnu Server
[20:55] <paolo> Flannel: what do you mean "try source"
[20:55] <vonSmallhausen> Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this?
[20:55] <Starnestommy> PaRaSiTe: where the setup file is
[20:55] <nickrud> PaRaSiTe you would be in the same directory as the setup file
[20:55] <Flannel> paolo: source /path/to/file
[20:55] <Flannel> paolo: it's worth atry
[20:55] <PaRaSiTe> Thanks Starnestommy, nickrud!
[20:55] <nickrud> Flannel that works with bash stuff, not at the X level
[20:55] <paolo> Flannel: how can it work?
[20:55] <partymetroid> Starnestommy: http://pastebin.com/d4900d2b6
[20:56] <Flannel> paolo: It probably wont.  But it won't hurt to try.
[20:56] <MrBashir> When I try to share a folder (it auto installed samba for me) it gives me a " cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied. How can I fix this?
[20:56] <oldcpu> woli, you could always create a root shell with "sudo -i " or "sudo -s" but I think I would be in mortal danger for suggesting that ....
[20:56] <ryanakca> Would it be possible to run debian programs by creating a Debian chroot with that program in it and running it from there?
[20:56]  * oldcpu slinks quietly away
[20:56] <PaRaSiTe> Starnestommy: Do I type it in with the ./ then?
[20:56] <nickrud> ryanakca yes
[20:56] <Starnestommy> PaRaSiTe: yes
[20:57] <ryanakca> nickrud: thanks
[20:57] <PaRaSiTe> Starnestommy: Taa.
[20:57] <nickrud> ryanakca for most stuff, I could see some X stuff having issues
[20:57] <Starnestommy> partymetroid: are windows and ubuntu on separate disks?
[20:57] <partymetroid> Starnestommy: Yes.
[20:57] <ryanakca> nickrud: hmm... *nods*
[20:57] <Gokee2> My 14 GB root part is all filled up...  I have a part with 174 GB free so I am wondering I can move some stuff over there, like /usr?  If I move the usr dir over and symbolic link /usr to the new spot would that work or would /usr not get mounted in time?  Do I need to add some option to fstab?
[20:57] <aidan_> I'm using dual screen and I'm having a problem with maximizing. I don't want it to maximise to both screens, how can I make this work?
[20:57] <PaRaSiTe> Is there a way to change from 32bit to 64bit without losing settings/drivers/programs etc?
[20:57] <homeuser> hello people
[20:58] <paolo> PaRaSiTe: nope
[20:58] <vonSmallhausen> Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this?
[20:58] <Starnestommy> partymetroid: the problem might be with grub not knowing which disk is which
[20:58] <woli> how do i sudo just to be in root?
[20:58] <homeuser> I am trying to apt-get a openssh package but it doesn't find anything.
[20:58] <woli> it was like sudo -someparametter
[20:58] <partymetroid> Starnestommy: How would I fix that?
[20:58] <nickrud> PaRaSiTe it would take a reinstall. Save your home (for personal configs) and clone below for programs
[20:58] <Gokee2> woli, sudo su?
[20:58] <MrBashir> woli: sudo su
[20:58] <nickrud> !clone | PaRaSiTe
[20:58] <Starnestommy> woli: -i, but it usually is not needed
[20:58] <paolo> PaRaSiTe: yu can keep your /etc..
[20:58] <Starnestommy> partymetroid: check your bios settings
[20:58] <woli> yes... i ran sudo -s
[20:58] <woli> is that correct?
[20:59] <partymetroid> Starnestommy: kk.  I'm going to my cousins' house, but I'll try that when I get back.  Thanks. :)
[20:59] <HymnToLife> homeuser: the openssh client is shipped with Ubuntu, if you want to install the server, it's openssh-server
[20:59] <Starnestommy> woli: sudo -i is usually used
[20:59] <partymetroid> Starnestommy: also, I didn't haven't this problem with Gutsy, with the same BIOS settings.
[20:59] <homeuser> HymnToLife: it's openssh-server the name of the package.... ?
[20:59] <HymnToLife> woli: no, use sudo -i please
[20:59] <PaRaSiTe> nickrud: Thanks. :D
[20:59] <HymnToLife> homeuser: yes
[20:59] <Gokee2> homeuser, I think apt-get install ssh works too
[20:59] <woli> ok
[20:59] <woli> now, how do i listed all the contents in a folder?
[20:59] <homeuser> HymnToLife: thanks. :)
[20:59] <Flannel> woli: ls -a
[20:59] <HymnToLife> ls -a
[21:00] <Starnestommy> woli: ls, or ls -A folder
[21:00] <homeuser> HymnToLife: let me apt-get it now. :)
[21:00] <HymnToLife> or A
[21:00] <homeuser> Gokee2: thanks. :)
[21:00] <HymnToLife> it's almost the same
[21:00] <Gokee2> homeuser, np
[21:01] <woli> oh god.... my tsalsa just won't run
[21:01] <adub> does anyone have any experience with apache is there a gtk frontend i can download
[21:01] <woli> oldcpu, what distro are you running?
[21:01] <weeman13221> anyone in here know how to get setting configured in the nvidia control panel to stay on every boot instead of having to do them every time?
[21:01] <HymnToLife> adub: a GUI for Apache would be totally pointless
[21:01] <oldcpu> woli, I have more than 1 pc, ... more than one distro (currently)
[21:01] <MrBashir> When I try to share a folder (it auto installed samba for me) it gives me a " cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied. How can I fix this?
