[12:00] <crimsun> tpc247: documented in the ipx package.
[12:00] <presto> any ideas how to get xvid to play with mplayer
[12:01] <jrib> ubotu: tell andreasdk about w32codecs
[12:01] <presto> isnt it supposed to?
[12:01] <nothlit> nalioth, oh >< is that what it needs? wouldn't it have to say gtk+-2.0-dev ?
[12:01] <Kingsqueak> shwag: chown is the one that 'ch'anges 'own'ership
[12:01] <Jimbo> i just changed the filesystem to fat, the drive only has one partition hdb1
[12:01] <shwag> Kingsqueak: duh. but for every new created file automatically.
[12:01] <Kingsqueak> you can't
[12:01] <Kingsqueak> wtf would you ever want to do that for anyway?
[12:01] <andreasdk> There is no package called mplayer-plugin and i have all repos enabled
[12:01] <nothlit> jrib,  mplayer plays windows files by itself i think
[12:01] <tpc247> crimsun: if I understand you correctly, I typed 'man ipx' but got the following: 'No manual entry for ipx'
[12:02] <jrib> andreasdk: mozilla-mplayer in multiverse
[12:02] <bjorn_> anybody know what I should do when sound recorder tells me my Audio capture settings are invalid. I'm told to correct them in the multimedia settings, but I don't know where that is
[12:02] <jrib> nothlit: maybe, I know the latest version does.  But I am not sure if the one in the repos does
[12:02] <shwag> how do I make /etc/login.defs  take effect. do I have to restart init ?
[12:02] <crimsun> tpc247: apropos ipx
[12:02] <nothlit> andreasdk, mozilla-mplayer
[12:02] <crimsun> bjorn_: ``gstreamer-properties''
[12:02] <doctormo> help! gnome won't start, it's having problems using dbus, standard install of Dapper, all we did was remove wallpaper-tray and restart computer.
[12:02] <Jimbo> nothlit: i just changed the filesystem to fat, the drive only has one partition hdb1
[12:02] <jrib> andreasdk: you may want to try without w32codecs first because of what nothlit said
[12:03] <Jimbo> if i re install the os again is could it see the hard drive easier?
[12:03] <tpc247> crimsun: yeah I tried that, and got 'ipx: nothing appropriate.'  :-(
[12:04] <shwag> Kingsqueak: umask does the trick, but the change didnt take effect.
[12:04] <bjorn_> crimsun: I see you got a lot to do, so please say if I'm bothering you :) I get this message when I try to test the input device: ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture: Could not open resource for writing.
[12:04] <Jimbo> what if i delete the partition then format it again could that help?
[12:04] <nothlit> Jimbo, sudo mkdir /media/hdb1                                 echo /dev/hdb1    /media/hdb1 vfat  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0 | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[12:04] <crimsun> bjorn_: what source is it set to ?
[12:05] <Jimbo> ok
[12:05] <nothlit> Jimbo, there are two commands in there
[12:05] <crimsun> tpc247: look at dpkg -L ipx, then
[12:05] <nothlit> Jimbo, after that sudo mount -a
[12:05] <andreasdk> Just tried with and without w32codecs and mozilla-player but the darn thing still wont work. Can someone please help me through a remote desktop?
[12:05] <bjorn_> Input: ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.
[12:05] <Jimbo> its hard to keep up with the room movin so fast
[12:05] <nothlit> andreasdk, did you shut down firefox in between?
[12:05] <depon> hey everyone... can anybody help with the installation of a sagem fast 800 on edgy/dapper? tried some guides, none seem to work :(
[12:05] <philc> why isn't mod_deflate enabled by default on all apache installations? Does it have any caveats?
[12:05] <andreasdk> Nope - 2 secs
[12:06] <nothlit> andreasdk, you could just install the mediaplayerconnectivity extension if you're having trouble, if not theres still a vlc plugin and a gstreamer plugin
[12:06] <tpc247> crimsun: wow, thanks.  I never knew about dpkg -L, but you have opened my eyes.  Danke.
[12:06] <odisseia> oiii
[12:06] <xd45> hey folks, I upgraded to edgy and now firefox 2.0 crashes everytime I open it, anyone have any ideas?
[12:06] <odisseia> someone in portugal?
[12:07] <nalioth> nothlit: yes, gtk*-dev will do it
[12:07] <bjorn_> crimsun: Input:  Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
[12:07] <presto> hmmmm vlc would play the xvid but not mplayer or totem wonder why
[12:07] <honk> anyone know how to configure gnome launch box?
[12:07] <andreasdk> nothlit> It still doesn`t work. Could i please get you to help through remote desktop? Kinda hard typing with a baby in one arm.....
[12:07] <shwag> What calls /etc/login.defs ?
[12:08] <depon> has anybody got a sagem fast 800 to work on edgy or dapper?
[12:08] <nothlit> nalioth, which do i install gdk-imlib-dev   or  gdk-imlib11-dev
[12:08] <xd45> nobody has had any issues with firefox xrashing?
[12:08] <Kingsqueak> shwag: if you told me why you want every file created by a user to be executable, I might have another suggestion to fix that for you
[12:08] <xd45> crashing rather
[12:08] <xd45> oh, mozilla crashes too
[12:08] <xd45> weird.
[12:09] <shwag> Kingsqueak: you are a nosey one aren't you. ever heard of Ruby on Rails? Well it needs files writable by the group.
[12:09] <nothlit> andreasdk, I suppose, but you know that vnc if it isnt done through ssh is not encrypted?
[12:09] <xd45> moved my .mozilla dir and it is still crashing so thats not it
[12:09] <infidel> need help installing fglrx 8.30.3 on a amd64 machine running 32 bit ubuntu
[12:09] <Kingsqueak> writeable is not executable
[12:09] <nothlit> andreasdk, have you tried installing the mediaplayerconnectivity extension in firefox?
[12:09] <Kingsqueak> that's why I asked
[12:09] <nothlit> andreasdk, it should work quite well
[12:10] <Kingsqueak> umask 002 would fix group write
[12:10] <shwag> how can I tell what package owns a particular file ?
[12:10] <Kingsqueak> chmod 775 on the dir parents would too
[12:10] <Kingsqueak> and asking, particularly with a web application is being helpful
[12:10] <Kingsqueak> not understanding permissions with a web accessible app is just begging to be rooted
[12:10] <jrib> shwag: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[12:10] <nothlit> shwag, right click properties or go to that directory and  ls -l
[12:11] <MenZaLap> Can anyone tell me how (if) I can enable the user sidebar to the right in xchat gnome?
[12:11] <nothlit> shwag, oh oops package not user sorry
[12:11] <bjorn_> Crimsun: Could you look at another pastebin for me? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30904/
[12:11] <Jimbo> nothlit...i got a directory in filesystem/media named hdb1 but cant make a folder there
[12:11] <Keyseir> How should I go about mounting an external HD in edgy?
[12:11] <jbroome> get it drunk first
[12:11] <andreasdk> nothlit: It still doesn`t work. I`ll take my chances.
[12:11] <bakert> Keyseir, what happens when you plug it in?
[12:12] <nalioth> nothlit: the one that most corresponds to your project will do
[12:12] <nothlit> Jimbo, oh then youve already got a folder there
[12:12] <Keyseir> Nothing noticeable.
[12:12] <Jimbo> no it just appeared after i ran the commands you said
[12:12] <Keyseir> It's on and fine according to the status lights, I had it connected when I was on breezy
[12:12] <Jimbo> i dont know if i ran them correctly tho
[12:12] <Keyseir> But on breezy I mounted it through the "Disk" UI under the "System" menu
[12:12] <K1765> Yo. Got a stupid question.
[12:12] <nothlit> nalioth, how can i tell? it just says gdk-2.0 doesnt say if its imlib or imlib1 or imlib11
[12:12] <K1765> How do I turn my pc volume up?
[12:12] <Keyseir> I can't find a similar "Disk" menu on edgy
[12:12] <Jimbo> lemee check size of folder
[12:13] <jrib> andreasdk: when you play a video does it actually say "mplayer plugin" before the video shows up?
[12:13] <salim> @Jimbo: hi, where is hdb1 mounted?
[12:13] <nothlit> Jimbo, then do echo /dev/hdb1    /media/hdb1 vfat  iocharset=utf8,umask=000  0    0 | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[12:13] <nothlit> Jimbo, thats one command
[12:13] <nalioth> nothlit: well, try one, if it doesnt work, install the other. apt-get won't let you get into a bind with conflicting stuff
[12:13] <crimsun> bjorn_: does it work if you set audiosource to oss ?
[12:13] <Jimbo> k one sec...or two :)
[12:13] <K1765> How do I turn my pc volume up?
[12:14] <tpc247> xd45: yes firefox and swiftfox crash on me, but only when I try to view certain kinds of video through mplayer-plugin
[12:14] <andreasdk> jrib: It asks whether i want to use the standard movie player and when i select yes it says that it needs some more modules to play -wmv
[12:14] <xd45>  tpc247 it crashes for me on just about any page
[12:14] <jrib> andreasdk: what file is this?
[12:14] <nothlit> andreasdk, then you can set that up and make sure theres a clear path to port 5900 and gimme your ip,
[12:14] <tnnc> i am using 6.06 and i need to upgrade kernell so it will run smp what do i need to install
[12:15] <tsoler> guys: how can i see which version of ubuntu im runing?
[12:15] <tpc247> xd45: oh that's not good.  I'm a new Ubuntu user so I couldn't guess why
[12:15] <tang^> I just did an upgrade to edgy and some fonts don't display: urxvt using xrdb font doesn't, but using that same font descriptor with urxvt -fn does.
[12:15] <xd45> I am about to just remove the ubuntu packages and install from tar
[12:15] <andreasdk> nothlit: Can`t i send you an invite through email?
[12:15] <nothlit> andreasdk, you could also uninstall the mozilla mplayer plugin and then install mozilla-plugin-vlc , you have to remember to restart firefox every time you do one action though
[12:15] <jsmith88> tnnc: you need to install the smp kernel
[12:15] <Keyseir> Nobody can tell me how to mount a drive on edgy? =(
[12:15] <K1765> How do I turn my pc volume up?
[12:15] <nothlit> andreasdk, wait then i'll run a listening vlc viewer and tell you how to use x11vncserver
[12:15] <tang^> I found a bunch of stuff online about locales that look like its relevent, but nothing appears to be changing my system
[12:15] <Jimbo> nothlit..i pasted in that command but no change
[12:15] <tnnc> jsmith88 what should i search for?
[12:16] <jsmith88> tnnc: so do a search in synaptic for smp and install the kernel relevant to your architecture
[12:16] <salim> @Jimbo: I think you have to reboot
[12:16] <bjorn_> Crimsun: there's sound :) Still it's really bad. A lot of background noise, and it's distorted
[12:16] <K1765> How do I turn my mic volume up???
[12:16] <jsmith88> tnnc: are you using an x86 processor? like a p4 or core2 duo?
[12:16] <nothlit> Jimbo, no then you type sudo mount -a
[12:16] <Jimbo>  the folder has a size of 99.9 gigs but i cant make a subfoler or file ther
[12:16] <nothlit> Jimbo, then look in the media folder
[12:16] <Jimbo> ok
[12:16] <nothlit> Jimbo, thats not what the mkdir command does
[12:16] <K1765> HOW DO I CLOSE A PROGRAM FROM TERMINAL?
[12:16] <gaussian88> K1765: if you have the sound-applet in the gnome panel enabled (assuming you're on gnome) just double-click it, then adjust to your liking
[12:17] <up365> K1765: do have a speaker icon to click on
[12:17] <tnnc> jsmith88, it is xeon daul 550 x86
[12:17] <nothlit> Jimbo if youre still confused paste the contents of  ls /media         and ls /media/hdb1
[12:17] <nalioth> K1765: watch the caps, and "depends on the program" try ctrl-q or ctrl-c or /quit
[12:17] <K1765> OOHH
[12:17] <crimsun> bjorn_: so turn down the mic and capture volumes
[12:17] <K1765> I see it now, thanks!
[12:17] <gaussian88> K1765: type this:  ps -ael |grep <name of program>
[12:17] <tnnc> jsmith88, P3
[12:17] <jsmith88> tnnc: you can try installing the following package: linux-686-smp
[12:17] <Jimbo> nothlit...YOU DID IT!!!!
[12:17] <gaussian88> K1765: then do:  kill <process ID>
[12:18] <nothlit> Jimbo :)
[12:18] <Jimbo> yer good
[12:18] <Xaxafrad> quick question from a relative *nix newb: i think i might be having compatibility issues and was wondering what shell is running when i open a terminal in xubuntu?
[12:18] <gaussian88> K1765: or use 'top' to get the process ID
[12:18] <nothlit> Jimbo, its in ubuntuguide.org if you want to take a longer route next time
[12:18] <Jimbo> so in linux the hard drives appear as folders ?
[12:18] <K1765> Thanks gauss
[12:18] <gaussian88> K1765: type 'man top' to get some of the top commands
[12:18] <gaussian88> K1765: top is your friend
[12:19] <K1765> Yes it is, already love it lol
[12:19] <nothlit> Jimbo, what happens is you get to choose where you hard drive gets put in the filesystem
[12:19] <gaussian88> Jimbo: All *nix systems sees everything as a "file"
[12:19] <gaussian88> Jimbo: sorry if that wasn't ehlpful at all
[12:19] <jsmith88> tnnc: have you tried installing it yet?
[12:19] <gaussian88> Jimbo: er.   helpful
[12:19] <Jordan_U> The gnome power applet thinks I am still connected to my power supply when my laptop is on battery power so when it runsout of battery my computer shuts down from loss of power instead of shutting down correctly.
[12:20] <tnnc> jsmith88,no not yet
[12:21] <bluefox83> is there a way to see exactly how much bandwidth each program you are running is using up?
[12:21] <Keyseir> !ubotu mount
[12:21] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[12:21] <nothlit> andreasdk, im still workiing on ur problem don't worry, but you can try the vlc plugin in the meantime (also extensions also require a restart)
[12:21] <Xaxafrad> is there a simple little command i can spit at a shell to find out what particular shell it is?
[12:21] <jsmith88> tnnc: ok, if you need any more help with it, just yell out
[12:21] <Keyseir> Why is there no System -> Administration -> Disks on Edgy Eft?
[12:21] <nothlit> Xaxafrad, echo $SHELL
[12:21] <K1765> Where can I get themes for ubuntu?
[12:21] <Jordan_U> gnome-look.org
[12:21] <Xaxafrad> thanx
[12:21] <gaussian88> K1765: gnome-look.og
[12:22] <gaussian88> Jordan_U: your quick on the draw
[12:22] <nalioth> !tell K1765 about themes
[12:22] <K1765> Thanks gaussian, I'm beginning to love u :P
[12:22] <mads-> Is there a good command line mp3 player?
[12:22] <K1765> lol
[12:22] <Raffaello> oha
[12:22] <bjorn_> Crimsun: Even with the volume almost turned off in the volume controller it's got background noise. Strange thing is the volume is still in fact pretty high..
[12:22] <bluefox83> Keyseir, good question >.>
[12:23] <bluefox83> i coulda sworn i had it when i installed edgy
[12:23] <Jordan_U> mads-: You can use mplayer from the command line.
[12:23] <gaussian88> bjorn_: check the PCM volume level as well as the master volume level
[12:23] <K1765> While I'm here got another question
[12:23] <Raffaello> Hi everything.  wanna ask something that install to ubuntu? Are there any person to help me?
[12:23] <salim> I might help you, Raffaello
[12:23] <K1765> I try to load a .wmv and it says "loading, buffing" and then it just stops and doesn't play
[12:23] <Keyseir> Does anyone know about "Disks" on edgy?
[12:23] <mariusk> does ubuntu regard the user I created for myself as the 'local administrator'?
[12:24] <gaussian88> K1765: ready?
[12:24] <nalioth> Raffaello: what language do you speak?
[12:24] <gaussian88> K1765: find mplayers homepage and download the essential codec pack
[12:24] <K1765> Ok.
[12:24] <gaussian88> K1765: unpack it, then put all the contents into the folder /usr/lib/win32
[12:24] <gaussian88> K1765: create the win32 folder if you must
[12:25] <Raffaello> Nalioth ; French, English, Turkish, Spanish
[12:25] <Zarephath> I get this when I go to youtube... Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest flash player.
[12:25] <gaussian88> K1765: you can play virtually anything you can throw at it via totem and/or mplayer
[12:25] <gaussian88> K1765: maybe xine as well
[12:25] <nalioth> Raffaello: ok, we have #ubuntu-es, #ubuntu-fr, and other language channels available if you find one or the other more comfortable to use
[12:25] <Zarephath> I have compiled and installed gnash as well as java 1.5 and 1.4.2 for PPC...I currently have it set to use java 1.5
[12:25] <Jordan_U> Zarephath: And you have flashplayer installed?
[12:25] <gaussian88> Zarephath: use synaptic and that the flash-nonfree version
[12:25] <K1765> Cant find essential codec pack
[12:25] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: what's up with the hda modules and getting them into ubuntu?
[12:26] <rodrigo> puta merda qta gente
[12:26] <gaussian88> Zarephath: I don't know the exact name, but it says flash and nonfree in it's name
[12:26] <K1765> Found it lol
[12:26] <rigidus> hi all
[12:26] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: too vague
[12:26] <gaussian88> Zarephath: you may need to put / enable some additional repos (see: www.ubuntuguide.org)
[12:26] <nothlit> flashplugin-nonfree
[12:26] <nalioth> gaussian88: it doesn't work on PowerPC
[12:26] <gaussian88> K1765: good
[12:26] <outRider> is it possibe to install more than 1 version of some software? i.e. a package version and a version build from source
[12:26] <noxxle> tried to install ut2004, didnt work, uninstalled. and now on login i get and error my .dmrc is being ignored because other users shouldnt have access to my home directory. I set permissions on my home to ME only and yet it still keeps saying that on login
[12:26] <gaussian88> nalioth: oh.... Didn't realize we were talking PowerPC
[12:26] <gaussian88> nalioth: sorry
[12:26] <K1765> Take that back, Didn't. Link doesn't work >.<
[12:26] <Zarephath> gaussian88, : Yeah but as I stated this is for PPC not i386...there isn't a flash player other than gnash..well one other but the wiki said this was the better choice
[12:27] <Jordan_U> nalioth: If you are desperate you can try gnash.
[12:27] <Keyseir> !ubotu disks edgy
[12:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about disks edgy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:27] <Keyseir> !ubotu disks
[12:27] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[12:27] <nalioth> Jordan_U: thanks, i was discussing gnash with gaussian88 because Zarephath mentioned it
[12:27] <rigidus> could anybody help me guys? I'm trying to maximize an xfs fs by xfs_growfs, but it's not working at all.
[12:27] <mariusk> K1765, look at where the link is pointing and search for the codec pack via google
[12:27] <nothlit> andreasdk, are you behind any firewall or router? im having difficulties finding the default version of vncserver on ubuntu
[12:27] <rigidus> I was doing this way: xfs_growfs / -d
[12:27] <damg_> are there any mono 1.2 final debs available already?
[12:28] <nothlit> rigidus, i think gparted has support for xfs growing
[12:28] <Zarephath> Hey nalioth: Compile seemed to go fine...as I stated I have installed both ibm java versions as I suppose you may or may not have done...
[12:28] <JosefK> damg_: alas no, fairly trivial to build them into /usr/local from source though
[12:28] <nalioth> Zarephath: excellent to hear :)
[12:28] <rigidus> nothlit: is it on knoppix?
[12:29] <nothlit> nalioth, if i install the 4 dev libraries it wants me to install 39 dependencies
[12:29] <damg_> JosefK: thanks, I'll try to build a deb then (:
[12:29] <Zarephath> nalioth: The part that perturbs me is it is stating javascript... is there something I missed that I need to enable to get javascript up and running too?
[12:29] <rigidus> nothlit (this one is a server)
[12:29] <K1765> Where do I put the themes I downloaded so they will work?
[12:29] <nothlit> rigidus, no but its on ubuntu, also you can download the gparted live cd, its also on the ubuntu install disk and kanotix
[12:29] <Zarephath> nalioth: Are you able to go to youtube and play a video?
[12:29] <JosefK> damg_: well, you can build a deb if you're adventurous, I just meant compiling the latest mono into /usr/local though :)
[12:30] <gaussian88> K1765: System --> Prefs --> Themes
[12:30] <gaussian88> K1765: you'll see it
[12:30] <K1765> ty
[12:30] <nalioth> Zarephath: your browser should support javascript
[12:30] <gaussian88> K1765: you really should look at www.ubuntuguide.org
[12:30] <nalioth> nothlit: well, that is the fun part of building your own software, the libs required
[12:30] <Zarephath> nalioth, : Yeah that was what I thought too...firefox 2 included in edgy
[12:30] <mads-> Jordan_U: which package does it come with?
[12:30] <rigidus> nothlit: thanks a lot, i try that one :-)
[12:30] <nalioth> Zarephath: i don't do audio/video on this box  :|
[12:31] <nothlit> rigidus, the gparted livecd is small ez to download its about 30mb and runs xfce, not much on it kanotix is a lot more useful in whole but full size
[12:31] <nothlit> rigidus, gparted is only on the ubuntu live cd
[12:31] <loboson> well, it's nice: a new piece of version to test and enhance
[12:31] <nothlit> Zarephath, beta 2 is included in edgy
[12:31] <Jordan_U> mads-: mplayer
[12:31] <loboson> but I can't still use all my hardware :-S
[12:32] <K1765> lol its quicker here :P
[12:32] <Zarephath> nalioth, : Ok thanks...I just checked and enable javascript is checked in prefs...
[12:32] <Zarephath> nothlit, : Ok thank you
[12:32] <mads-> Jordan_U: apt-get install mplayer?
[12:32] <Jordan_U> mads-: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[12:32] <nothlit> does anyone know what vncserver the gnome desktop calls? i can't find any server in /usr/bin
[12:32] <Jordan_U> mads-: yes.
[12:32] <loboson> I think that's the problem...
[12:32] <seb--> Why does Ubuntu seem do wifi better than Debian? Is it because they spend more time testing? why? more $$$ available?
[12:32] <mads-> doesn't work :(
[12:32] <nalioth> Zarephath: please keep in mind, gnash is still very much an in-development project
[12:33] <Eleaf> Paladine, pally pally.
[12:33] <nothlit> seb--, ubuntu focuses more on getting everything up and going more easily, and that includes hardware
[12:33] <Jordan_U> Zarephath: Last I checked gnash couldn't play youtube vids.
[12:33] <gaussian88> seb--: I think it has more to do with gnome and gnome customization
[12:33] <loboson> yes, some probs with hardware
[12:33] <seb--> nothlit: you mean more *polish*?
[12:33] <Zarephath> nalioth, : Yes sir..I do know that...I can understand it not working..however I would have assumed I would be able to see something occur..heh
[12:33] <Fletcheri> anyone know much about realplayer 10? im trying to use it but its acting really jumpy with stream files atm
[12:33] <Keyseir> Does anyone know how I can mount a secondary HD on edgy?
[12:33] <gaussian88> seb--: ie., they just made it easier to properly config. the hardware for a wider range of hardware
[12:33] <nothlit> seb--, no, ubuntu adds things and makes custom tools
[12:33] <nalioth> !tell Keyseir about mount
[12:33] <Zarephath> Jordan_U, : Kewl that helps...what can you tell me about their format they stream?
[12:33] <Mantice> How do I restore my system tray ? I think I deleted it.
[12:34] <K1765> One more question
[12:34] <seb--> gaussian: the fact is debian can be 'rough around the edges.....ubuntu is more like os X
[12:34] <jcrochford> Fletcher, what problems are you having?
[12:34] <gaussian88> nothlit: really?  that's great!
[12:34] <crimsun> Fletcheri: the version in dapper-commercial?
[12:34] <nothlit> seb--, ubuntu isn't more polished than debian, just differing philosophies
[12:34] <K1765> How do i login as admin to paste something in user/lib/win32
[12:34] <rigidus> nothlit: thanks again :-)
[12:34] <jrib> Mantice: right click on your panel and add the "notification area"
[12:34] <nalioth> !tell K1765 about sudo
[12:34] <Keyseir> nalioth: "Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks" this doesn't exist on edgy
[12:34] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: did you feel like elaborating, or were you going to leave the question as vague?
[12:34] <nothlit> does anyone know what vncserver the gnome desktop calls? i can't find any server in /usr/bin
[12:34] <seb--> nothlit: but *why* / *how* did they get wifi to work better?
[12:34] <gaussian88> K1765: cd into the directory where the files are
[12:34] <Fletcheri> jcrochford: when i stream form a video link it palys a few seconds, pauses the prgo and then palys again ect...
[12:34] <bjorn_> Crimsun: Thank you. Now I at least have some sound. It's still noisy after toggling with the volumes though, but I can live with that for a while. Funny thing now is Skype won't connect my calls. Saying I got a problem with sound device
[12:34] <nothlit> Keyseir, what are you trying to do?
[12:35] <nalioth> Keyseir: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[12:35] <Jordan_U> Zarephath: I havn't had my PPC machine for a while but I remember being able to use a page to get the .flv from youtube and play it in ffmpeg.
[12:35] <loboson> It won't work ok with my pda
[12:35] <gaussian88> K1765: then sudo mkdir /usr/lib/win32;sudo cp * /usr/lib/win32/
[12:35] <seb--> nothlit: does the founder burn few millions for a room full of testers to polish it better?
[12:35] <nothlit> seb--, hardware detection configuration utilites and regular configuration utilities i would assume
[12:35] <jcrochford> Fletcher: Does it have anything to do with your bandwidth?  My first thought is that RP10 is working fine.
[12:35] <Keyseir> nothlit, I just did a fresh edgy installation and I have a USB external HD I want to connect. I need to mount this external HD.
[12:35] <crimsun> bjorn_: close all audio apps before using skype
[12:35] <Zarephath> Jordan_U, : Ok I will look into that then..just find the stream and use ffmpeg..maybe..heh
[12:35] <loboson> don't know why
[12:35] <seb--> nothlit: it must have cost big $$$ for ubuntu to improve autodetection
[12:35] <nothlit> seb--, i think most of the development it still volunteered
[12:35] <loboson> well, it's a WM5
[12:35] <Fletcheri> jcrochford: my bandwith is good, im on a 10mb line, it shouldn't make any difference
[12:35] <loboson> syncCE doesn't work well
[12:36] <Keyseir> nothlit I was used to System -> disks and that doesn't seem to exist on edgy
[12:36] <fugitive_> if i want to make a command 'install x' to do apt-get install x where x is whatever I say - how would i do it
[12:36] <nothlit> Keyseir, did you plug it in? ubuntu should automount external disks
[12:36] <seb--> nothlit: making debian better isn't a trivial achivement :)
[12:36] <fugitive_> what is the script
[12:36] <Jordan_U> Zarephath: I think it was keepvid ( the site, google it )
[12:36] <nalioth> fugitive_: make an alias
[12:36] <fugitive_> nalioth: how ?
[12:36] <safejav> hi
[12:36] <Keyseir> nothlit, Yes, it's plugged in and the status lights are fine
[12:37] <nothlit> seb--, debian isn't supposed to be easy to install, but they stick with what they do and other distros can feel free to add and improve, besides, look at mepis or livecds
[12:37] <Keyseir> nothlit, if it was automounted where would I find it?
[12:37] <nalioth> fugitive_: ask uncle google "bash aliases" or "bash alias"
[12:37] <Jordan_U> !hi | safejav
[12:37] <ubotu> safejav: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:37] <nalioth> fugitive_: be beware, aliases are quite addictive
[12:37] <bjorn_> Crimsun: Still trouble
[12:37] <gaussian88> nothlit: look in /media
[12:37] <gaussian88> sorry
[12:37] <Poromenos> how can i use WPA with ubuntu server?
[12:37] <seb--> nothlit: is ubuntu good for debian? how to debianites feel about it?
[12:37] <nothlit> Keyseir, did you check /media? it should automatically show on the desktop and other places.. is the account you're logged into the first account created?
[12:37] <gaussian88> Keyseir: look in /media
[12:37] <seb--> nothlit: is ubuntu a 'win-win' for both?
[12:37] <loboson> syncCE doesn't work well with my WM5 PDA
[12:38] <jcrochford> Fletcher, No specific server problems?  Is there a particular site from which you're streaming the video?  I have to confess I'm an Ubuntu noob, but I've got no problems with RP10 that I've detected yet.
[12:38] <nothlit> seb--, its mostly a win win, both projects contribute to each other but there is the fear that people will stop developing for debian first from what i've read, and only make packages for ubuntu
[12:38] <Keyseir> nothlit, definitely not on the desktop. Yes, I'm using the first account.
[12:38] <Keyseir> nothlit, I had the ext hd d/cd when i installed, but I've rebooted sense too...
[12:38] <nothlit> Keyseir, check places and computer
[12:38] <loboson> does anybody know why syncCE doesn't work well with my WM5 PDA??
[12:39] <crimsun> bjorn_: well, unless you can give me debug messages for arecord, I can't help you diagnose alsa capture
[12:39] <nothlit> Keyseir, try unplugging and replugging, i don't know how  well ubuntu does with coldplugging
[12:39] <Keyseir> nothlit, nope
[12:39] <Keyseir> nothlit, not under media either
[12:39] <gaussian88> Keyseir: is this a usb device?
[12:39] <shwag> ~/.bash_profile says "the default umask is set in /etc/login.defs" , but I changed the the UMASK setting in login.defs, and  $ umask , still says 022
[12:39] <nothlit> Keyseir, ok because accounts made later may not have the permission for external disks enabled
[12:39] <Versed> I made a mistake an downloaded the desktop iso, can I install ubuntu onto my G4 with this cd iso?  And yes I downloaded the PPC version.
[12:39] <nothlit> Keyseir, try unplugging and replugging, i don't know how  well ubuntu does with coldplugging
[12:39] <Keyseir> gaussian88, yes
[12:39] <infidel> ok i got the latest ati driver to install all right but i hav to load the modules by hand and then restart x is there a way to add this to start at boot/
[12:39] <gaussian88> Keyseir: do 'lsusb'
[12:40] <gaussian88> Keyseir: is it listed?
[12:40] <Jordan_U> Versed: How much ram?
[12:40] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: I feel like being vauge...  Keybuk, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee, imbrandon, DBO or gnomefreak, Mez!
[12:40] <Keyseir> gaussian88, "Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c0b:2bcf Dura Micro, Inc. (Acomdata)
[12:40] <Keyseir> Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  " that might be it
[12:41] <gaussian88> Keyseir: is that your external usb drive?
[12:41] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: you'll have to manually apply my queue, but yes, it all there. See kernel-team@
[12:41] <pianoboy3333> !info alsa-driver
[12:41] <ubotu> Package alsa-driver does not exist in any distro I know
[12:41] <pianoboy3333> !info alsa-drivers
[12:41] <ubotu> Package alsa-drivers does not exist in any distro I know
[12:41] <Amaranth> ack, lag
[12:41] <theCore> nalioth, expoit -> ufngcaieoew
[12:41] <crimsun> alsa-driver is the source package name.
[12:41] <pianoboy3333> oh
[12:41] <rob> theCore: got him
[12:42] <theCore> thanks
[12:42] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: alsa-base is 10.0.11
[12:42] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: so?
[12:42] <nothlit> jrib, yeah but the live cd is weak as an install cd
[12:42] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: the available hda via kernel-team is post-1.0.13
[12:42] <crimsun> alsa-base is scripts and modprobe.d/blacklist files
[12:42] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: what's kernel-team? Is it a repository?
[12:43] <crimsun> it's a mailing list
[12:43] <pianoboy3333> oh
[12:43] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: so are there debs of a newer version of the driver with snd-hda-intel ?
[12:43] <pianoboy3333> what are you saying?
[12:43] <[sYn] > Does anyone know where the Beryl settings for changing the screen hot zones are? (the areas that cause all of the windows to move onto the screen for task management..)
[12:43] <crimsun> the patches you need to apply to linux-source-2.6.17 are available on kernel-team@
[12:44] <pianoboy3333> oh
[12:44] <CVirus> Suddenly my swap isnt activated on boot ... I hate to swapon each time I start my laptop .. whats wrong ?
[12:44] <nothlit> [sYn] , that is under scale, last ta
[12:44] <nothlit> [sYn] , tab
[12:44] <CVirus> have*
[12:44] <[sYn] > nothlit, thanks :)
[12:45] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: I have to apply patches? will I have to configure the kernel, or just apply the patches and run, I have had experience with building a kernel... unsuccesful wifi support, but w/e
[12:45] <pianoboy3333> s/run/compile/
[12:45] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: if you want nice debs of alsa-modules, just grab upstream's alsa-driver-1.0.13 and generate them using module-assistant
[12:46] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: my patches are for our git repos, not for the end user
[12:46] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: oh, I see, so where can I learn about making debs with m-a?
[12:46] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: the README.Debian shipped with alsa-source
[12:46] <pianoboy3333> ok
[12:46] <nalioth> ATTENTION PLEASE, if you are getting "cannot send to channel", please register your nick or identify if you are registered.  /msg nickserv help register
[12:46] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: so what should I download off of alsa-project.org?
[12:47] <crimsun> alsa-driver-1.0.13
[12:47] <pianoboy3333> ok
[12:47] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: will I need the newest libasound for that?
[12:48] <crimsun> alsa-lib has nothing to do with it.
[12:48] <pianoboy3333> oh, ok
[12:48] <rogue78> has anyone had a a/v sync problem with videos in edgy eft?
[12:48] <Jordan_U> nalioth: Why, is it a glitch or is there a spam problem?
[12:48] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: ok, so unpackage the source, and look at the README.debian in debian/ ?
[12:49] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: no, there's a README.Debian in alsa-source (binary package)
[12:49] <nalioth> Jordan_U: spam. further discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[12:49] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: wait... you said to download alsa-driver
[12:49] <pianoboy3333> do you want me to apt-get source alsa-source?
[12:50] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: I meant what I typed. Download alsa-driver from upstream; consult the documentation from alsa-source.
[12:50] <crimsun> if you want to be lazy, grab Debian Sid's alsa-source
[12:50] <pianoboy3333> and just change the changelog, and run a debuild?
[12:51] <crimsun> which method are you using?
[12:51] <rogue78> has anyone had problems with flash being out of sync with audio? the video is behind the audio for me
[12:51] <rogue78> I just installed edgy
[12:51] <crimsun> rogue78: remove flashplugin-nonfree and use the flash 9 beta
[12:51] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: I'm not sure.... so I can download alsa-driver from upstream, and just compile that, or get debian sid's and debuild that...?
[12:52] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: do you want a short answer or a long answer?
[12:52] <rogue78> crimsum: thanks
[12:52] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: but what is alsa-source? just a package in the repos?
[12:52] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: I'm just very confused that's all, knowing what alsa-source is may clear things up
[12:52] <hyperactivecrond> does anybody know how to take the output from jack and pipe it to the stdin of another program>?
[12:52] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: I understand alsa-driver is the driver
[12:53] <hyperactivecrond> for example to lame?
[12:53] <nalioth> !tell CoolCubix about guidelines
[12:53] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: I use "alsa-driver" to refer to the name of the Debian/Ubuntu source package that generates the alsa-base, linux-sound-base, and alsa-source binary packages. I use "alsa-driver-1.0.13" when referring to upstream (ftp.alsa-project.org) alsa-driver tarball.
[12:53] <pianoboy3333> right
[12:54] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: but mostly, the easiest thing may be just getting alsa-driver from debian sid, so I'll go with that
[12:54] <CoolCubix> nalioth> sorry, didn't know about that
[12:54] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: you mean alsa-source
[12:54] <CoolCubix> it's an information rather for another channel
[12:54] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: sure
[12:55] <treat> I can't get my Quickcam pro 3000 working in edgy =(
[12:55] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: so just compile the alsa-source package? or that has to be added to my kernel in some way
[12:56] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: read /usr/share/doc/alsa-source/README.Debian
[12:56] <pianoboy3333> ok
[12:57] <mztriz> I just installed edgy on my laptop, but I'm not getting an internet connection.... any ideas?
[12:57] <Garrett> For some reason, when I go to boot from the Live CD, the splash screen comes up. I select 'Install or Run Ubuntu' and it says 'Loading Kernel' and such. Then, it goes to a screen with a blinking underscore. It stayed like that for 20 minutes. I noticed that it wasn't reading the CD-ROM drive. The same thing happens when I go to check the CD contents.
[12:57] <rogue78> crimsum: I downloaded the flash 9 beta and untarballed it. now what?
[12:57] <crimsun> rogue78: put the lib in ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[12:57] <rogue78> crimsum: libflashplayer.so ?
[12:57] <crimsun> rogue78: make sure you remove the flashplugin-nonfree package, then restart ff
[12:58] <crimsun> yes
[12:58] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: wait... but the .orig.tar.gz of alsa-source _is_ alsa-driver
[12:58] <nalioth> Garrett: did you check the checksums to make sure you have a proper image/disk?
[12:58] <abo> in windows, I used to use a web spider like application, called Teleport Pro, is there any similar one in ubuntu?
[12:58] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: alsa-source is a binary package. It contains a stripped orig.tar.gz of alsa-driver-1.0.13.
[12:59] <Garrett> nalioth: You mean did I select the option for that on the boot screen?
[12:59] <pianoboy3333> right
[12:59] <nothlit> Garrett, you can switch to a virtual terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 and then less /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what went wrong or use the alternate install cd or use the second boot option, because it sounds like xorg fails to initialise
[12:59] <rogue78> crimsun: when I try to play flash in mozilla, it's saying flash ain't installed.
[12:59] <crimsun> now use module-assistant with alsa-source
[12:59] <nalioth> !tell Garrett about verify
[12:59] <crimsun> rogue78: well, did you move the plugin to the correct location?
[01:00] <mayhem-> hi. I'm new to linux I'm a bit confused on which ubuntu to get.  6.10 is the latest version but only for 6.06 it says that it's supported for 3 years. does this mean 6.10 isn't?  also I suppose 6.06 is probably more stable?
[01:00] <rogue78> ~/.mozilla/plugins
[01:00] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: but how do I get the source of it... I don't have it installed on my system at all, I'm sorry, I know I sound difficult, just install it, or download sid's deb?
[01:00] <crimsun> argh.
[01:00] <rogue78> crimsun: sudo cp flash-player-plugin-<IP_ADDRESS>/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins
[01:00] <nalioth> mayhem-: 6.10 is supported with security updates for 18 months
[01:00] <mztriz> Could anyone help me get my wifi working on my laptop?
[01:00] <Garrett> nothlit: Alternate install CD?
[01:00] <crimsun> rogue78: don't use sudo
[01:00] <rogue78> oh crap
[01:00] <rogue78> duh
[01:00] <rogue78> punches self in face
[01:00] <Garrett> nothlit:  And, err, second boot option?
[01:01] <nothlit> Garrett, yeah theres a second install cd that doesn't use a point and click gui, (but it does use the ncurses gui)
[01:01] <Garrett> nothlit: Point and click..You could use a mouse in that? O.o
[01:01] <nalioth> Garrett: ubotu sent you some info in a PM
[01:01] <nothlit> Garrett, yes when you boot the cd theres a variety of options like boot or install , boot legacy or compatibility mode, check disk, and boot from first hard disk
[01:01] <tag> how do I snag a list of my installed packages?
[01:01] <crimsun> this cannot be this difficult.
[01:02] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/alsa-driver/alsa-source_1.0.13-1ubuntu1_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i alsa-source_1.0.13-1ubuntu1_all.deb
[01:02] <tag> just the package names, so I can re-install all of the software I need after I reinstall dapper
[01:02] <tag> ?
[01:02] <nothlit> Garrett, yes, most live cds use point and click interfaces
[01:02] <worldplay_RapidF> anyone know why i get a X server problem when trying to install Ubuntu?
[01:02] <Garrett> nothlit: Okay, so what's the best thing to do in my current situation?
[01:03] <infidel> can someone help me with this, i have the working fglrx driver but it won't load when x loads i have to load it like this sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/misc/fglrx.ko then restart X any ideals? i tried sticking it in /etc/modules
[01:03] <caffiend> I have burn't 3 cd's with ubuntu server 6.1 and they all test bad.  I have even burned at 2x!  Is there a way to check the iso?
[01:03] <rogue78> crimsun: cp: accessing `/home/shawn/.mozilla/plugins/': Not a directory
[01:03] <crimsun> rogue78: so create it.
[01:03] <whyvas> caffiend, check the md5 sum
[01:04] <nothlit> Garrett, reboot and choose the second option and see if that works, if not go and download the alternate cd and use that to install instead
[01:04] <whyvas> caffiend, you probably have a case of shitty cheap cd's though
[01:04] <worldplay_RapidF> so no ones can help me?
[01:04] <whyvas> worldplay_RapidF, no
[01:04] <worldplay_RapidF> what!?
[01:04] <rogue78> crimsun:mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/shawn/.mozilla/plugins/': File exists
[01:04] <Garrett> nothlit: The second option is verify the CD, right? I said that that had given me the same error.
[01:04] <rogue78> crimsun: mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/shawn/.mozilla/plugins/': File exists
[01:05] <rogue78> crimsun: and when I browse there with gnome, there is a plugins file with a padlock icon on it
[01:05] <nothlit> nothlit, no the second option should be some sort of legacy/compatibility mode
[01:05] <nothlit> Garrett, wait, the verification freezes too?
[01:05] <laervian> hi everybody
[01:05] <Garrett> nothlit: Yes
[01:05] <laervian> big issue with swap partition
[01:05] <laervian> it is not mounted

[01:06] <ansivirus> is there anything special i need to do?
[01:06] <Jordan_U> worldplay_RapidF: What kind of xserver problem?

[01:08] <caffiend> whyvas: they are HP's... what woul be suggested?
[01:08] <preaction> Garrett, and it's going to take a while
[01:08] <Zambezi> Anyone know what kcryptd/0 is? The CPU-load on kcryptd/0 is over 50%!
[01:08] <Jordan_U> worldplay_RapidF: Are you at a terminal prompt?
[01:08] <Jordan_U> worldplay_RapidF: Or at a blue screen with strange characters around the edges?
[01:08] <worldplay_RapidF> 2nd 1
[01:08] <mayhem-> i have core 2 duo CPU, should I get 64 or 32 bit version?
[01:08] <shawarma> Zambezi: Do you by any chance have an encrypted partition?
[01:08] <worldplay_RapidF> then 1st
[01:08] <preaction> Zambezi, that's probably the kernel crypt daemon. are you doing anything with hashing?
[01:08] <worldplay_RapidF> 64
[01:08] <worldplay_RapidF> ?
[01:08] <Merkidemis> Could someone assist me with getting my latop's ATI graphics card running right?  I can get into xwindows fine, but the redraw is really, really slow
[01:09] <laervian> anybody knows for swap partition?
[01:09] <Merkidemis> its an ATI Mobility X200
[01:09] <lupine_85> depends on whether it's a 32-bit or 64-bit CPU
[01:09] <ansivirus> i'm having a problem with artwiz fonts package on 6.10
[01:09] <rogue78> crimsun: I still can't copy to it, or make the directory
[01:09] <lupine_85> e.g. Opterons are 64-bit
[01:09] <whyvas> caffiend, i have blue hp's that work great
[01:09] <Zambezi> shawarma, I have.
[01:09] <rogue78> crimsun: sorry if I'm being annoying, but I'm a total noob for linux
[01:09] <Merkidemis> I have tried reinstalling fglrx, but it doesn't work
[01:09] <Jordan_U> worldplay_RapidF: Ok, try running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh and choose vesa when asked what driver to use.
[01:09] <crimsun> rogue78: did you chown ~/.mozilla/plugins/ ?
[01:09] <Zambezi> preaction, Yes.
[01:10] <therealbigusdick> Merkidemis, do you have Option "NoAccel" "true" in your xorg.conf file?
[01:10] <preaction> Zambezi, sounds like the culprit
[01:10] <caffiend> whyvas: are the silver in the top left and blue on the bottom and right side?
[01:10] <rogue78> yes
[01:10] <eetfunk> how do i obtain the version #/name of ubuntu from the command line?
[01:10] <rogue78> crimsun: yes and the padlock icon went away, but it is still a file, not a folder
[01:10] <ansivirus> eetfunk, uname -a  ??
[01:10] <apokryphos> eeboy: cat /etc/version
[01:11] <njal> how do i reconfigure my X server to probe a new monitor while saving the XGL options i added?
[01:11] <eetfunk> thanks!
[01:11] <caffiend> whyvas: I have the iso on my old P3 1Ghz linux box, is it possible to put it onto a usb drive to install? I have a 512 oe 2g that will work
[01:11] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: no, but I do have composite set to disabled, as on the forums people said that could be an option
[01:11] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: problem, not option
[01:11] <crimsun> rogue78: rm ~/.mozilla/plugins && mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
[01:11] <eetfunk> ansivirus: this only gives me the kernel version.
[01:11] <ansivirus> eetfunk, yeah sorry cat /etc/version
[01:11] <Zambezi> preaction, It's soon down. But I might change computer from P2 to P3. That should decrese the load.
[01:12] <eetfunk> ansivirus: i don't have a /etc/version file
[01:12] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: It was working fine under Dapper, but got messed up when I dist-upgraded to Edgy
[01:12] <nothlit> njal, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is way too invasive for that, and i think it only supports one monitor, have you tried your video driver utility?
[01:12] <preaction> Zambezi, well, hashing (and any cryptography) is very processor intensive. you should anticipate high loads when you're doing it
[01:12] <nothlit> crimsun, dont you mean rm -fr?
[01:12] <therealbigusdick> Merkidemis, I also have composite disabled and for 2D my card works pretty fast. I know it works slow in my case if I disable acceleration... but in your case the problem seems to be another issue
[01:12] <whyvas> caffiend, maybe but i don't know how
[01:12] <crimsun> nothlit: not necessary in this context
[01:13] <Zambezi> preaction, Then I give it a shot until the hashing is done.
[01:13] <therealbigusdick> Merkidemis, edgy messed a lot of things... fonts in gnome, xservers, etc. :(
[01:13] <nothlit> crimsun, then wouldn't rmdir would just as well?
[01:13] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: Yeah, and I've been pouring over the forums for days trying to get it working.
[01:13] <caffiend> would simple extraction of the ISO to a USB drive work?
[01:13] <rogue78> crimsun: thanks a lot man, it works great now!
[01:13] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: is there an "easy" way to get back to dapper?
[01:13] <crimsun> nothlit: read his statement carefully. He created a file instead of a directory.
[01:13] <LjL> !downgrade | Merkidemis
[01:13] <ubotu> Merkidemis: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[01:13] <nothlit> crimsun, oh i was just scanning sry
[01:13] <nalioth> nothlit: rmdir only works on empty directories
[01:14] <Merkidemis> ubotu: well, upgrading broke my system, so...
[01:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about well, upgrading broke my system, so... - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:14] <caffiend> ANyone know if I can extract an ISO to a USB drive and install from that?  My CD drive isn't liking 6.10
[01:14] <therealbigusdick> Merkidemis, I don't know probably not easier as reinstalling from scratch everything and install your backup (if any)
[01:14] <therealbigusdick> Merkidemis, but probably your problem has a solution.
[01:14] <rogue78> can someone reccomend a good e-mail client that has good anti-spam ability?
[01:14] <whyvas> caffiend, i don't think it would boot
[01:14] <laervian> anybody knows about how to mount an umnounted swap partition?
[01:14] <whyvas> but maybe
[01:14] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: Possible.  I'm not looking forward to fighting with my wi-fi again.  That was a simular nightmare
[01:15] <therealbigusdick> in my case without 2D acceleration when I did a ls on a directory with many many files, the slowdown was remarkable
[01:15] <caffiend> I guess is can't hurt
[01:15] <nalioth> rogue78: thunderbird
[01:15] <ansivirus> can someone help with artwiz fonts on edgy?
[01:15] <therealbigusdick> Merkidemis, well I am really dissapointed with that edgy release, I expected more from ubuntu, really. Just a small rant :)
[01:15] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: thank you
[01:16] <caffiend> sorrt
[01:16] <caffiend> sorry, mouse slipped
[01:16] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: heh, yeah.  I remember my other attempts at Debian all getting messed up when updating.
[01:16] <__mikem> nalioth sorry about the autorejoin, I forgot I had it turned on
[01:16] <mumbles-potpal> can i have some opitions here ? http://pastebin.ca/245444 is that a buggered hdd ?
[01:16] <nalioth> therealbigusdick: edgy was rolled up in a very short amount of time, compared to previous ubuntu releases
[01:16] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: Is there a way to purge all the ATI stuff from the system, go back to VESA, and try installing an older driver?
[01:16] <rogue78> afk
[01:16] <therealbigusdick> nalioth, yes, I know that, but that should not be a excuse to ship with so many regressions...
[01:17] <therealbigusdick> Merkidemis, well now that xorg is modularized it should be easy, I mean just uninstall all packages with dpkg -l | grep ati, but this can be dangerous too
[01:18] <BlueParrot> could I ask if there is any page with recomended system specs or something along those lines?
[01:18] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: right, but if the worst that happens is I reinstall dapper again, then its no big loss and a learning experience
[01:19] <ansivirus> I'm having problems with artwiz fonts on edgy... i've searched forums but nothing i've found there seems to get me to be able to use the fonts
[01:19] <therealbigusdick> Merkidemis, if you have your /home or your important files in another partition it should not be any problem too. OTOH in my case the fglrx drivers from ati were also crap and freezed my machine
[01:20] <laervian> anybody knows hot mount a swap partition?
[01:20] <user-land> is it normal that a port i am forwarding only shows up as open when a service is running on it ? http://checksum.org/cso/checkport/
[01:21] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: is there another driver I should try?  (Backups are easy, I have a 1.27TB server for that)
[01:21] <ansivirus> laervian, the command to mount swap is swapon /dev/hda2 (replacing /dev/hda2 with your swap partition)
[01:21] <therealbigusdick> Merkidemis, I've never tried with anything different than ati or fglrx on this machine... so I am not really sure. you could try vesa
[01:22] <ansivirus> any help on font prob?
[01:22] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: well, I think al I have tried is the one I downloaded from ATI.  Is there a second one?
[01:22] <Chippy> hey, is there any way to manually disable sound cards?
[01:22] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: the readme.debian says cd into the root of the headers or source tree that I have prepared and run make-kpkg, but should that be /usr/src/linux-headers-vers/ or /usr/src/linux-headers-vers-generic/ vers being 2.6.17-10
[01:23] <crimsun> don't use make-kpkg
[01:23] <crimsun> use module-assistant
[01:23] <therealbigusdick> I don't think so just fglrx (the propietary drivers) and ati (the free ones)
[01:23] <Merkidemis> therealbigusdick: well, let me try the free ati ones
[01:23] <__mikem> yuck ati
[01:23] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: that's not in that readme, what would you do?
[01:24] <crimsun> use module-assistant
[01:24] <Merkidemis> mikem: yeah, well, its not like i can rip the chip out
[01:24] <pianoboy3333> oh... right, prepare, update, build?
[01:24] <crimsun> like module-assistant a-i alsa-source
[01:25] <ansivirus> has anyone else had issues with artwiz fonts installation?
[01:25] <laervian> ansivirus: it does not function
[01:25] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: and that will build the deb of the driver, thank you
[01:25] <ChimeraHitman> Hello, I am not sure what is the problem, but linux isn't installing, the 6.06 version.

[01:26] <livingdaylight> an .xml file?
[01:26] <Merkidemis> vi freemind.xml
[01:26] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, what's supposed to be in it?
[01:26] <livingdaylight> ansivirus, a liitle script
[01:26] <therealbigusdick> livingdaylight, touch /usr/share/mime/packages/freemind.xml
[01:27] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, if blank then just touch freemind.xml

[01:27] <livingdaylight> therealbigusdick, 'touch' kewl !
[01:27] <ansivirus> does any one know how to get the artwiz fonts working?
[01:27] <therealbigusdick> yesss indeed
[01:28] <ChimeraHitman> It is taking ages to actually do anything, my pc has a 2.4ghz processor, 256 MBs ram, 10Gb partition for nix. I can't find a way to get a successful install. The cd check revealed 0 checksum errors.

[01:29] <walden2> hey everyone! is there anyone willing to help me?
[01:29] <lullabud> ChimeraHitman:  or what error does it give you?
[01:29] <nalioth> ChimeraHitman: try installing the i686 kernel
[01:29] <ChimeraHitman> lullabud, it hangs at the next button on the GUI installer.
[01:29] <steve> does anyone know how to fix fonts in fluxbox/enlightenment?
[01:29] <walden2> where can i find the md5sum file to check it with my 6.10 iso?

[01:30] <user-land> ChimeraHitman, your harddisk could be dying.
[01:30] <ChimeraHitman> Yes, its an install problem.
[01:30] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: I got a: alsa-modules-2.6.17-10-generic depends on alsa-base (>= 1.0.12-1); however: Version of alsa-base on system is 1.0.11-5ubuntu1.
[01:31] <walden2> lullabud: where, exactly?
[01:31] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: then grab feisty's alsa-base
[01:31] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: and linux-sound-base
[01:31] <ChimeraHitman> user-land, lol, i haven't even started writing to the disk. I am stuck in the language selection. Apart from it taking around 15 mins to start it, i gave it a whole night last night to see if it would go to the next step.
[01:32] <Keyseir_> Does anyone here know about System < Disks not existing on Edgy Eft?
[01:32] <nalioth> ChimeraHitman: have you considered you may have a hardware issue?
[01:32] <Keyseir_> I'm trying to mount a disk that I had previously used this utility on dapper to do
[01:32] <lullabud> walden2:  http://mirrors.csumb.edu/ubuntu/edgy/MD5SUMS
[01:32] <nalioth> ChimeraHitman: have you considered the alternate install cd ?
[01:32] <lullabud> walden2:  or more generally http://mirrors.csumb.edu/ubuntu/edgy/
[01:32] <ChimeraHitman> nalioth, i got it to install a time ago.
[01:32] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: ok
[01:33] <nalioth> ChimeraHitman: ok, so is there a problem currently?
[01:33] <ChimeraHitman> nalioth, about that... Is there some conflicts with RW disks?
[01:33] <bruenig> where are the uids? some directory called /something/by-uuid or something like that I forgot though
[01:33] <nalioth> ChimeraHitman: not at all
[01:33] <ChimeraHitman> nalioth, i mean i got it to install a few months ago, but i reformated.
[01:34] <ChimeraHitman> I also have windows xp on the other partition that works. If i would have any hw problems then it would show up on windows side too.
[01:34] <livingdaylight> therealbigusdick, sorry, but i need to add a script to that file that's been created; can you tell me how i open it, please?
[01:34] <user-land> ChimeraHitman, your ram might be defective.
[01:34] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, vi freemind.xml
[01:34] <user-land> i see.

[01:38] <JohnM555> Hello, I think I have really messed up my wireless settings(never was working really) Is there a way I can just clear all my interface settings and start again?
[01:38] <pianoboy3333> tag: synaptic will tell you that... for cli, try #ubuntu-motu
[01:38] <tag> (not the versioned package name, just the ... whatever) so when I finish paving this edgy install with dapper I can reinstall everythingI had.
[01:38] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: i.e., play "spot the feisty packages" at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/alsa-driver/
[01:38] <JohnM555> Now when I try editing my wireless interface, I constantly get errors I shouldn't be getting
[01:38] <livingdaylight> ansivirus, esc is not doing anything...arrr...
[01:38] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: lol
[01:38] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, escape won't do anything visually.. it just exits insert mode...
[01:38] <prestosd> I have a problem with my 3d graphics drivers
[01:38] <prestosd> can anyone help?
[01:38] <livingdaylight> ansivirus, how do i get my command prompt back?
[01:39] <lullabud> tag:  dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[01:39] <walden2> me again. i have checked the md5sum thing on the iso. its all ok. however, i've burned it and tried to boot without success... whats happening?
[01:39] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, just hit escape
[01:39] <livingdaylight> ansivirus, thats what i mean, esc istn't doing it
[01:39] <Flamekebab> argh, I booted into Windows, launched partition magic, closed it and then rebooted, whereupon GRUB just gave me error 17 and refused to boot
[01:39] <kitche> livingdaylight: you hit escape then do :wq
[01:39] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, when you type :q! is it showing up in file or at bottom of vi screen?
[01:40] <prestosd> Can anyone help me with graphics driver problems??
[01:40] <Drace> Ahh. Navigating vi for the first time. I remember the horror. :(
[01:40] <tag> dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ { print $2 }'
[01:40] <tag> yaay
[01:40] <JohnM555> Also, When trying to set the key for my interface, I get 'Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device eth2 : Unknown error 524', why is this happening, or how can I get more information on this error.
[01:40] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, should show up at bottom of the screen... that means escape worked... and the :q! followed by enter will exit without saving
[01:40] <tag> hurm
[01:40] <JohnM555> When I googled this, most people that got the 8B2A error didn't have the Unknown Error 524 part
[01:40] <ansivirus> Drace, yeah tell me about it :P it was a horror :P
[01:41] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: so, now that I have those installed, do I need alsa-driver too? or that'll do it
[01:41] <tag> viol
[01:41] <prestosd> I said! Can anyone help me with a graphics driver problem?!
[01:41] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, try gedit freemind.xml if you don't like vi :) that should bring up a  gui
[01:41] <tag> looks like it worked
[01:41] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: have you ignored the past hour or so? :-)
[01:41] <livingdaylight> ansivirus, lol, yes please
[01:41] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: well, I got confused in the middle, and stopped for dinner the past 30 min
[01:41] <Keyseir_> I accidently chownd root. Is there a way to put things back to me not owning everything?
[01:41] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, yeah just run gedit
[01:41] <pianoboy3333> prestosd: don't be so impatient, shoot
[01:42] <prestosd> shoot?

[01:42] <prestosd> oh yah, lol
[01:42] <Flamekebab> any ideas how to fix a GRUB error 17
[01:42] <Keyseir_> !setuid
[01:42] <ansivirus> livingdaylight, open another terminal window and run killall vi
[01:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about setuid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:42] <pianoboy3333> Seeker2599: install gparted
[01:42] <prestosd> I used to be able to play 3d games in ubuntu 6.10
[01:42] <pianoboy3333> prestosd: what distro are you using....?
[01:42] <prestosd> but it was an upgraded version from 6.06 LTS Christian edition
[01:42] <pianoboy3333> prestosd: ok
[01:43] <pianoboy3333> prestosd: and now...?
[01:43] <prestosd> i cant
[01:43] <lullabud> prestosd:  Christian edition?
[01:43] <prestosd> i reinstalled a clean version of ubuntu 6.10
[01:43] <prestosd> non upgrade
[01:43] <pianoboy3333> prestosd: what gfx card do you have?
[01:43] <prestosd> and now when I click on a 3d game it stalls then says that the app quit
[01:43] <Flamekebab> any ideas how to fix a GRUB error 17?
[01:43] <K1765> How do I find out the process, Frostwire is. It will not close on its own so im trying to kill from terminal
[01:43] <rogue78> is there any software for ubuntu like dragon naturally speaking?
[01:43] <swaby1> hi how can I get my wireless card working if I install xubuntu on my laptop
[01:43] <pianoboy3333> Flamekebab: try #grub?
[01:44] <prestosd> I have a NVIDIA Riva TNT (16MB)
[01:44] <Flamekebab> thanks, pianoboy3333
[01:44] <livingdaylight> ansivirus, now gedit was easy and quick
[01:44] <swaby1> its a cheap truck stop wireless card
[01:44] <pianoboy3333> Flamekebab: not to deter you, just #grub -- if there is one -- may give you the best supporrt
[01:44] <prestosd> my drivers are the nvidia-glx-legacy
[01:44] <K1765> How do I find out the process, Frostwire is. It will not close on its own so im trying to kill from terminal
[01:44] <Drace> livingdaylight: don't feel bad. I don't like vi, either.
[01:44] <rogue78> is there any software for ubuntu like dragon naturally speaking? even a no would be an answer.
[01:44] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: so I'm guessing m-a was an alternative to the drivers package
[01:45] <livingdaylight> Drace, just a matter of knowing and getting used agues, but gedit sure seems simpler if one is adding a simple script to a file
[01:45] <scubes13> hi all - looking for some guidance on getting an atheros wlan nic working under fresh install of edgy (currently displays as "ath0" under ifconfig, but cant scan for a network nor get any connection)
[01:45] <prestosd> pianoboy3333: my card is a NVIDIA Riva TNT and my drivers are nvidia-glx-legacy
[01:45] <Jordan_U> K1765: ps aux | grep frostwire may tell you.
[01:45] <rogue78> crimsun: do you know of any speech recognition software for linux?
[01:46] <therealbigusdick> ESC :q! :e A ESC uggh I can stand vi :)
[01:46] <swaby1> also if I instal xubuntu desktop can I switch between gnome and xubuntu
[01:46] <pianoboy3333> prestosd: I'm not sure... sorry, I'm not good with nvidia cards
[01:46] <therealbigusdick> I cannot stand
[01:46] <prestosd> drat
[01:46] <pianoboy3333> therealbigusdick: so use pico or nano
[01:46] <prestosd> pianoboy3333: know anyone that is?
[01:46] <MarcN> swaby1: yes.
[01:46] <wildchild> can someone pastebin the path of config file of firefox please?
[01:46] <therealbigusdick> ok
[01:47] <pianoboy3333> prestosd: yes.... but not in right now, and that would be wanting to help, sorry
[01:47] <swaby1> does it hurt anything and will I still have the same programs
[01:47] <prestosd> pianoboy3333: k, ttyl
[01:47] <livingdaylight> sudo /usr/bin/update-menus   : command not found. Anyone know the correct command for updating menu?
[01:47] <MarcN> swaby1: not a problem, just additional programs are available.  You can run gnome apps from the xubuntu desktop.   Same with KDE apps
[01:48] <Zehrila> I have a question. If I download and install the latest Ubuntu Home Edition and then install KDE over it, would that make the system identical to Kubuntu (not considering the extra Gnome, ofcourse)?
[01:48] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: what are the binary package names for the source package alsa-library
[01:48] <case1> Hey ya'll, i was wondering if anybody knew how to setup a VNC repeater on a ubuntu server? I want to make use UltraVNC SC to allow my friends and family to go to my website, download the app and then I can connect from anywhere to their system using VNC so I can help them with helpdesk kinda stuff... anybody in here have any ideas or where to go or how to do that?
[01:48] <tonyyarusso> swaby1: You'll have both sets of programs; some are the same between Gnome and XFCE, some aren't (by default), but you can use programs for either on either.
[01:48] <MarcN> Zehrila: it should be the same.  Can't think of any differences.
[01:48] <Zehrila> MarcN: Thanks a lot. =]
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Zehrila: No, if you install kubuntu-desktop it would but your menus would be cluttered with both gnome and kde apps
[01:49] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: seems I have to compile those
[01:49] <nalioth> Zehrila: you can have ubuntu- and kubuntu- and xubunt-desktop all installed at once with no ill effects
[01:49] <Zehrila> Jordan_U: Oh, I see. Well, that I suppose I can live with.
[01:49] <JohnM555>  I think I have really messed up my wireless settings(never was working really) Is there a way I can just clear all my interface settings and start again? Now when I try editing my wireless interface, I constantly get errors I shouldn't be getting.
[01:50] <JohnM555>  Also, When trying to set the key for my interface, I get 'Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device eth2 : Unknown error 524', why is this happening, or how can I get more information on this error.
[01:50] <eltech> so how does ubuntu stand up as a distrobution
[01:50] <eltech> in a server enviroment?
[01:50] <Zehrila> nalioth: Well, actually I don't want to download all of them if I can download one and just install the other desktop environments over them. I'm on dialup. =[
[01:50] <eltech> as a server .. wow a lil tied up :)
[01:50] <tonyyarusso> eltech: Well, I have a server running right next to me here.
[01:50] <eltech> so do i
[01:50] <eltech> :)
[01:50] <tonyyarusso> Seems fine
[01:51] <eltech> that wasnt what i asked :P
[01:51] <noxxle> im trying to share files with a friend on my network that is using windows XP. i have a single folder shared in my /home directory. He can see my computer on his network places but when he clicks it, it asks for a username and pass. nothing works here, i try to enter my login and pass but no avail
[01:51] <noxxle> help
[01:51] <nalioth> Zehrila: you can do this procedure with alternate-install CDs of kubuntu, ubuntu and xubuntu  if you wish
[01:51] <eltech> ive got a gentoo and a centos box
[01:51] <noxxle> i choose samba when i shared my folder
[01:51] <eltech> looking to build a new production box
[01:51] <noxxle> i can see HIS shared folder on MY computer
[01:51] <Zehrila> Jordan_U: BTW if instead of using kubuntu-desktop, I chose kde-core, I won't have to deal with all the KDE apps, right?
[01:52] <tonyyarusso> eltech: What do you mean by "stand up" then?  It runs and does everything I've asked it to so far..anything in particular you're looking for?
[01:52] <Jordan_U> Zehrila: Yes.
[01:52] <Zehrila> nalioth: Yeah, but that would also involve downloading alternate-install CDs for each kubuntu disto, no?
[01:52] <Zehrila> Jordan_U: Great, thanks. =]
[01:52] <noxxle> help me
[01:52] <wildchild> where is firefox located if I installed it by apt?
[01:52] <eltech> tonyyarusso you manage everything via yum?
[01:52] <tonyyarusso> eltech: No, aptitude.  (yum is an rpm thing, no?)
[01:53] <nalioth> Zehrila: your local university or shipit may provide you with ready-made discs
[01:53] <eltech> running mail, dns, web, etc?
[01:53] <eltech> aptget
[01:53] <nalioth> Zehrila: also your library may have ways to let you get the discs
[01:53] <Zehrila> nalioth: I'm in a third world country which isn't too *nix-aware yet, heh.
[01:53] <scubes13> eltech: for server, may wanna give Annvix a look over, very nice distro - just my $0.02
[01:53] <eltech> after 5 years of gentoo break fix.. i need a easy path for a few months :P
[01:54] <caffiend> Anyone know how to extract an ISO image to a USB drive to boot and install Linux?  I have the UB-serv-6.10..
[01:54] <nalioth> Zehrila: i'm sure there are other folks here that are near you
[01:54] <eltech> scubes13 will do .. im also considering openbsd
[01:54] <Zehrila> Downloading seems to be the only option, since Shipit doesn't seem to be offering 6.10.
[01:54] <eltech> and completely going the other with postfix rather then qmail
[01:54] <eltech> im just tired .. :)
[01:54] <tonyyarusso> caffiend: I think I bookmarked something about that...hold on
[01:54] <nalioth> Zehrila: please join me in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:54] <Zehrila> nalioth: Sure.
[01:55] <noxxle> is it safe to write to a windows system on my network?
[01:55] <Jordan_U> wildchild: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30913/
[01:55] <Jordan_U> wildchild: Ignore that :)
[01:55] <JosefK> noxxle: over Samba/Windows File Sharing - yes
[01:55] <tonyyarusso> caffiend: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick perhaps
[01:55] <Jordan_U> wildchild: firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/X11R6/bin/firefox /usr/bin/X11/firefox /usr/share/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz
[01:56] <noxxle> noxxle how is that safe? i heard writing to NTFS can corrupt things
[01:56] <Pelo> good evening folks
[01:56] <Jordan_U> wildchild: That is the output of: whereis firefox :)
[01:56] <scubes13> eltech: let me know what you think of it when u give it a try, need help, etc check over at #annvix ;)
[01:56] <JosefK> noxxle: it isn't NTFS if it's over a network though, you're using SMB - the remote machine handles all the actual I/O to the drive
[01:56] <MarcN> noxxle: only if you are using linux to write to an NTFS disk.
[01:56] <noxxle> oh ok great!
[01:56] <eltech> scubes13 thanks for the offer :)
[01:57] <noxxle> any idea why my friend cannot connect to me, but i can connect to him
[01:57] <scubes13> eltech: no probs
[01:57] <caffiend> tonyyarusso: muchas gracias mi amigo! :)
[01:57] <JosefK> noxxle: firewall/router?
[01:57] <noxxle> thats not it
[01:57] <canute> Hi there, because of my ber lameness, my brain switched the mv and rm commands. So basicly i removed a file which i was suppose to move, is there some command to get that file back?
[01:57] <scubes13> anyone have experience with ath0 under edgy?
[01:57] <JosefK> canute: nope
[01:57] <JosefK> canute: hard lesson, but well learned (make backups :/)
[01:57] <canute> heh
[01:58] <Pelo> canute,  look for a back up file
[01:58] <Pelo> or tell us the name of the file and I will dcc it to you
[01:58] <JosefK> true, there's a possibility there's a file there as 'Filename~'
[01:58] <canute> this was a php file i had been working on
[01:58] <JosefK> canute: if you were working on it in gedit/vim, there'll be that backup file
[01:59] <canute> hm, gPHPedit :p
[01:59] <JosefK> canute: ls -a in the same path to find it
[01:59] <rogue78> is there any software for ubuntu like dragon naturally speaking?
[01:59] <JosefK> canute: hmm :/ it's worth a try anyway :)
[01:59] <webhed> Anyone familiar with Musicbrainz or Picard?
[01:59] <Pelo> canute,  backup file will be  filename.exte~
[02:00] <canute> bah, no backup
[02:00] <JosefK> canute: if you're worried about it in future, edit your ~/.bashrc and add 'alias rm="rm -i"'
[02:00] <JosefK> canute: that'll at least give you a prompt and a mental jog before you remove anything (you can add -f if you want to override the warning)
[02:01] <canute> ok
[02:01] <wildchild> where is my home directory of firefox?
[02:01] <Pelo> wildchild,  /home/user/.mozilla
[02:03] <bkinman> I am trying to install, ubuntu 6.10 under virtual pc 7... anybody tried this? It's giving me graphics ugliness when i try to start the installer.
[02:03] <wildchild> Pelo: still can't find config file of firefox :S
[02:03] <bruenig> wildchild, it is not a confg file per se, it is a config directory
[02:03] <Pelo> wildchild   in the firefox adress bar   about:config
[02:04] <preaction> I upgraded to edgy, and now totem's brightness/contrast controls don't work. I've tried changing my gstreamer output plugin to no avail.
[02:04] <wildchild> Pelo: don't understand :S
[02:05] <Pelo> wildchild,  what are you looking for ?
[02:05] <odin> does anyone know how to fix the fonts when using fluxbox/enlightenment instead of gnome?
[02:05] <bkinman> Nobody here has tried to install edgy under virtual pc? It looks like perhaps the installer wants to be 24but, but virtual pc only supports 16 bit.
[02:06] <wildchild> config file of firefox, to set up some network for supporting mms protocol..
[02:06] <wildchild> Pelo
[02:06] <kilox> hi can anyone help with the blank screen problems please
[02:06] <Pelo> wildchild,  in the firefox adress bar  type this line  "about:congif"  without the quotes,  is that what you need ?

I have a question about linux swap partition. i've just repartioned my hdd: I freed some space of a ntfs partition and created another swap partition out of it. fact is, linux isn't taking into account this new swap partition I've created, though I've already updated /etc/fstab. Is there anything else I should do?

[02:14] <tjb891> does anyone know when firefox 2.0 is coming out for ubuntu?
[02:15] <Pelo> tjb891,   two weeks ago
[02:15] <tjb891> Pelo: is it in synaptic
[02:15] <Pelo> tjb891,  it's part of edgy
[02:15] <tjb891> oh
[02:15] <tjb891> Pelo:is edgy out of bete yet
[02:16] <infidel> can someone help me with this, i have the working fglrx driver but it won't load when x loads i have to load it like this sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/misc/fglrx.ko then restart X any ideals? i tried sticking it in /etc/modules
[02:16] <LjL> tjb891: since 6th october
[02:16] <Pelo> tjb891,  I guess there is probably a package on the mozilla site
[02:16] <tjb891> how do i upgrade to edgy?
[02:16] <Pelo> tjb891,   technicaly speaking edgy was out of beta at the end of october when they did the official release
[02:17] <tjb891> Pelo: so how do I upgrade?
[02:17] <Pelo> tjb891,  dont, upgrade that bit is buggy, dl the cd and install from scratch,  just backup your home folder first
[02:17] <LjL> !upgrade | tjb891
[02:17] <ubotu> tjb891: For upgrading, see instructions at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes (you can also find this in the channel topic: type "/topic")  -  See also !downgrade
[02:17] <tjb891> i might but i have alot of hardwere specific setting that took me hours, and some i forgot how to do
[02:18] <bruenig> the fresh install is always so much better, perhaps that is why I never have issues
[02:18] <LjL> if it's buggy why do we have it in the topic?
[02:19] <Pelo> LjL,   a bu;nch of ppl , myself included spent days trying to upgrade and then had to dl the cd/dvd and do it from scratch , so ...
[02:19] <LjL> Pelo, did you have any non-official packages installed when you upgraded?
[02:19] <kitche> yeah it the upgrade says not to use update-manager -c
[02:19] <Pelo> it was horrible
[02:19] <LjL> (or third-party repositories enabled)
[02:19] <Pelo> LjL,  what do you mean non official ?  I use a french install
[02:20] <kitche> LjL; on ubuntu.com it says not use update-manager -c since it will break your system
[02:20] <LjL> Pelo, i mean having things that are not from the Ubuntu repositories
[02:20] <LjL> it does? then really, why do we have that in the topic?
[02:20] <LjL> kitche: pointer?
[02:20] <Pelo> LjL,  well, I had the automatix repo and the wine one
[02:20] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: alsa-lib provides lib*asound2
[02:21] <LjL> Pelo, that's a bit like looking for trouble though
[02:21] <Poromenos> does wpa work with edgy?
[02:21] <crimsun> pianoboy3333: dmesg should provides clues as to why the drivers weren't loaded automagically
[02:21] <crimsun> Poromenos: yes
[02:21] <Pelo> ...
[02:21] <Poromenos> crimsun: how?
[02:21] <kitche> LjL: it's right on edgyUpgrade website
[02:21] <sgorilla> does X11 normally have wavy/slow scrolling?
[02:21] <crimsun> Poromenos: I use wpa supplicant via interfaces(5), not network-manager*
[02:21] <LjL> Pelo, we don't even recommend automatix, much less so recommend to have it installed / have its repository enabled while upgrading...
[02:21] <crimsun> sgorilla: in what sense
[02:22] <Poromenos> crimsun: ah, does it not work with NM?
[02:22] <omV0> hi, i'm trying to install my wireless usb and i followed a simple FAQ but when i try "modprobe ndiswrapper" i get "invalid argument" error

[02:22] <crimsun> Poromenos: I just prefer the interfaces(5) syntax
[02:22] <LjL> kitche: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades you mean?
[02:22] <Poromenos> crimsun: ah... for me it doesn't show a WPA option, only WEP
[02:22] <kilox> Hello can someone point to where can I find a solution for blank screen problems
[02:22] <sgorilla> crimsun: when i scroll in firefox, its slow to update
[02:23] <bruenig> when I set an alias using alias whatever='command' where does it store that?
[02:23] <sgorilla> crimsun: kind of flashes on the screen, as opposed to windows where its just smooth
[02:23] <crimsun> sgorilla: not a "wavy/slow scrolling" issue
[02:23] <Pelo> kilox,  we don'T know what the blank screen problem is ,  you'll have to elaborate

[02:24] <sgorilla> crimsun: like its redrawing the movement from top to bottom
[02:25] <Pelo> NewcomerXb,   in linux  c:/ and d:/ don't apply
[02:25] <sgorilla> this has been in all the linux versions i have used
[02:25] <Poromenos> any idea why network manager doesn't have an WPA option
[02:25] <Poromenos> ?
[02:25] <NewcomerXb> Im talking about the bios at boot
[02:25] <youser> what toolbar?
[02:25] <Pelo> NewcomerXb,  check the forum for mounting  hdd instrustions
[02:25] <NewcomerXb> it used to load from the HD where winxp is
[02:25] <kitche> LjL: no on another page it has the update-manager -c scratched out and says don't use this since we have many bug reports on it breaking a system
[02:25] <NewcomerXb> ive tried to forum ;_; its not  mounting problem. it simply isnt recognizing the drives somehow
[02:26] <Pelo> NewcomerXb,   maybe it's your booth order
[02:26] <Pelo> boot
[02:26] <NewcomerXb> aha, how can i change that?
[02:26] <Pelo> youser,  the toolbar in nautilus
[02:26] <dandy_m> how to use aptitude in installing mplayer?
[02:26] <Pelo> NewcomerXb,   your bios,  you find out
[02:26] <NewcomerXb> it used to see the external as device 2,0 in grub, before i got a new motherboard. Now it doesnt :/
[02:26] <NewcomerXb> oh. i have to edit bios
[02:27] <Pelo> NewcomerXb,  therer should be a boot order options somewhere in your bios
[02:27] <LjL> kitche, i can't find that... if it's true, we need to inform people about it. i'm googling for update-manager at ubuntu.com but can't really find the right page
[02:27] <NewcomerXb> ok
[02:27] <youser> it still said i have no permissions
[02:27] <youser> i opened nautilus
[02:27] <youser> went to computer
[02:28] <youser> went to the folder tried to put the filesin and it said i dont have permissions
[02:28] <Pelo> dAndy,   just open up aptitude and search for mplayer,  then install that package,  dependencies if any should be installed right along

[02:28] <scubes13> atheros under edgy... anyone?
[02:28] <SS2> scubes13: yes me
[02:28] <Pelo> youser,  open nautilus using   alt+f2    gksu  nautilus
[02:29] <SS2> it works, you need to install the restrictet kernel moduls
[02:29] <Poromenos> any idea why network manager doesn't have an WPA option?
[02:29] <SS2> then it will work fine
[02:29] <scubes13> SS2: thank goodness :)

[02:29] <SS2> how can i remove all configs again?
[02:29] <kilox> well is a very common problem

[02:31] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: http://piano.juicemedia.tv/junk/alsaprobs <-- I can't make any sense of it, it all seems like mush to me, seems like it can't load/register some important modules? '...' is where I took out parts that didn't seem important, let me know if you want my whole dmesg
[02:31] <martyyyr> porcho, yes, and I use  sudo cp  to copy it,  but it tells me it omits the directory I want to copy
[02:31] <skelter> cp -r
[02:31] <Pelo> slick_nick,  check the keyboard shortcuts in  system >`prefs > kb shortcuts
[02:32] <skelter> -r for recursive, when copying directories
[02:32] <porcho> you should use cp -r

[02:39] <guevara> As I was saying...
[02:39] <guevara> I want to use Linux in my machine
[02:39] <porcho> martyyr, u can't
[02:39] <guevara> I have an Ubuntu CD already
[02:40] <martyyyr> porcho.... are you serious?
[02:40] <guevara> But it do not recognize my hardware and run so slowly
[02:40] <profoX`> guevara: the live cd?
[02:40] <guevara> profoX` just a momment
[02:40] <profoX`> guevara: i'm thinking of 3 possible causes of that problem
[02:41] <kitche> martyyyr: you will have to use the root version of your filemanager but be careful sicne it can do damage if you delete something that's not suppose to be
[02:41] <LjL> !sudo | martyyyr
[02:41] <ubotu> martyyyr: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").  DMA doesn't work/isn't enabled on your cd/dvd player, or 3. you have ACPI problems causing everything to hang and run hella slow
[02:41] <LjL> !paste | Suspect
[02:41] <ubotu> Suspect: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[02:41] <guevara> Version 6.06 for PC
[02:41] <porcho> martyyyr, when u start the file browser, it sticks to your uid, which identifies u as a user...so you are just allowed to list dirs u have permission to...
[02:41] <LjL> i've never tried the NTFS stuff anyway, Suspect
[02:41] <Suspect> Alright
[02:41] <martyyyr> hm..
[02:41] <Suspect> I don't consider 3 lines a flood
[02:42] <Suspect> if it was like 5+ I would use a pastebin
[02:42] <martyyyr> well, I typed   sudo nautilus in a terminal
[02:42] <martyyyr> and now I can access the files
[02:42] <porcho> if you do sudo, then u're running file browser as superuser...so u can access any dir...
[02:42] <guevara> profoX` My notebook is a TravelMate 2420 Celeron 1.5 256 40
[02:42] <profoX`> Suspect: yea, but.. its busy here :p
[02:42] <porcho> be careful not to mess with things! :-)
[02:42] <profoX`> guevara: ahh.. acer.. very bad things
[02:42] <Suspect> Stupid Microsoft
[02:42] <shonen> i have you Broadcom...you are the devil...lalala
[02:42] <shonen> err hate*
[02:42] <guevara> profoX` yes...
[02:42] <Suspect> How only a single DLL becomes corrupt is beyond me
[02:43] <profoX`> guevara: have you checked a site like www.linux-laptops.net ?
[02:43] <profoX`> argh remove the s
[02:43] <guevara> profoX` no...
[02:44] <martyyyr> does apt-get always download stuff from the net?
[02:44] <guevara> profoX` what is the command to open the system monitor?
[02:44] <kitche> martyyyr: it can use a cdrom as well but pretty much yes
[02:44] <martyyyr> :S
[02:44] <profoX`> guevara: gnome-system-monitor
[02:44] <martyyyr> then why on earth does this "how to get your wireless working" howto tell me to use apt-get to download drivers :S
[02:44] <LjL> martyyyr, apt-get is used to get new applications... what did you expect? :o)
[02:44] <profoX`> guevara: or just go to Administrtion -> system monitor
[02:45] <profoX`> or something like that
[02:45] <profoX`> don't know how it is in english
[02:45] <jrib> martyyyr: probably on the cd.  What exactly do you need?
[02:45] <LjL> martyyyr, it assumes you can connect temporarily via other means. unfortunately some wireless cards are hard to get to work, thanks to the manufacturers, and you mostly do need to use apt-get to try and get them to work
[02:45] <Poromenos> how do i see wpa_supplicant's status?
[02:45] <martyyyr> jrib:  drivers for my broadcom nic
[02:47] <LeoStewart> Does anyone know of a program that I can use to edit songs?  Like, to combine two songs, or cut parts out of a song?
[02:47] <sloucher> I just install a new SATA drive. It works great but doesn't show up in df ? How do I tell the du or how full the drive is?
[02:47] <shonen> uh there is a program that you can DL on the newest version of ubuntu called Audacity
[02:47] <BudSmoker> Can i ask a question.. If i had a large file that I wanted to tar before i downloaded from the server into like 14 or 20mb chunkcs
[02:47] <profoX`> guevara: according to a french ubuntu wiki (I'm not french, but I can read it ;) i read your travelmate should work pretty good with ubuntu....
[02:47] <shonen> its a cut and paste kinda deal LeoStewart
[02:47] <BudSmoker> what arguments would i need
[02:48] <LeoStewart> shonen: i'll give it a go and report back
[02:48] <LeoStewart> shonen: thanks.
[02:48] <jrib> martyyyr: yeah i don't know about those.  What LjL said probably applies here.  Are you using the guide on the ubuntu wiki?

[02:51] <omV0> how do i get on a wireless network? ndiswrapper says drivers installed, device detected
[02:51] <Poromenos> seems that we all have the same problem
[02:51] <omV0> and i iwconfigged the network's settings...
[02:51] <martyyyr> especially since my usb flash devices don't seem to work and I can't use a cd
[02:51] <omV0> but how do i connect?
[02:51] <LjL> martyyyr, if there are drivers for it somewhere, it can't be impossible - but without a working internet connection in the first place, yeah, it can be quite annoying to do.
[02:52] <martyyyr> LjL, yup, that's my problem :)
[02:52] <LjL> martyyyr, that sounds even more annoying. weird though
[02:52] <sean> i am not able to make a backup using dvdshrink or dvddecrypter of certain DVDS. i have libdvdcss2 installed and when i rip the cd in windows with ANYDVD running with the same two programs i am am able to rip without any problems.  does anyone have any suggestions?

[02:56] <lullabud> bruenig:  it's probably not so drastic as replacing the file.  changing a preference is more what i'd go with.

[02:57] <rwoes> LOL
[02:57] <rwoes> LjL -- glad i made it here instead of there
[02:58] <LjL> actually, i suggest adding an alias that turns "rm" into "rm -i", that's what i do

[03:03] <bsnider> what's a good tv app for gnome?

[03:04] <syko21> how do you edit the startup programs manually? i added beryl manager but it keeps crashing the panels in Gnome so i need to remove it from the startup list
[03:05] <imme> lullabud: Nope... before that... before X11 even starts
[03:05] <porcho> exit
[03:05] <lullabud> Poromenos:  or you could just scroll that.
[03:05] <lullabud> imme:  if it says kde, you're probably using KDE as your default window manager.  did you install the KDE package?

[03:05] <lullabud> imme:  either way, you can log in and change the preferences of the login window.
[03:05] <LjL> lullabud, he's talking about usplash i think, not about the display manager
[03:06] <imme> lullabud: I'm not talking about the login window. and it doesn't say kde, it says kubuntu, and it's because I have also got kubuntu installed, but I want it to display something else.
[03:07] <lullabud> imme:  oooh, the splash.

[03:13] <fiveiron> is there an applet to detect wifi access points?
[03:13] <ailean> Lahey,

[03:14] <ger> Hey everybody
[03:15] <thor> does anyone know how to get decent fonts running enlightenment in ubuntu?
[03:15] <pudland> hello all
[03:15] <ger> I'm having a fonts problem, I can't readthe ones in my web browser.
[03:15] <ger> Any help??
[03:16] <Pelo> ger,  what too small ?
[03:16] <ger> no, un-readable
[03:16] <Pelo> ger, which browser ?
[03:16] <ger> only can read them when I highlight them
[03:16] <fridge> has linux moved on from 'scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 0' > /proc/scsi/scsi -- what is the recommended way of removing and adding scsi devices?
[03:16] <ger> Forefox
[03:16] <lullabud> so, i was talking to a guy from canonical today and he was saying that ubuntu runs faster on the Sun Fire T2000 than solaris does.
[03:16] <lullabud> =D
[03:16] <burner> fiveiron: use network-manager :)
[03:16] <Pelo> ger,  check the prefs
[03:16] <orville> i can't install flash.
[03:16] <ger> in the browser?
[03:17] <pudland> i followed the howto. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager... I get a blue/grey checkered startup screen but no beryl splash
[03:17] <Pelo> ger,  what do you think ???
[03:17] <burner> fiveiron: better yet, sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[03:17] <pudland>  beryl-man is running as is emerald/Xgl/xorg
[03:17] <ger> ok,ok
[03:17] <orville> why can't i install flash in ubuntu?
[03:17] <ger> i'll try
[03:17] <fiveiron> burner, how the heck are you man
[03:17] <fiveiron> ltns
[03:17] <burner> orville: add universe repositories?

[03:17] <pudland> any ideas?
[03:18] <orville> burner: it wont install. from synaptic
[03:18] <JohnM555> Hey burner, I installed the network-manager deb by transfering it via usb because I dont have internet access on my machine, how can I launch the program?
[03:18] <JohnM555> (I already installed it)
[03:18] <orville> it's been "Downloading..." for about 5 minutes now
[03:18] <orville> I also can't install it from within the browser.
[03:18] <burner> JohnM555: run "nm-applet" ?
[03:18] <X5-452> Thanks everybody
[03:18] <JohnM555> Type that into the terminal?
[03:19] <burner> JohnM555: or via alt+f2
[03:19] <JohnM555> Ok
[03:19] <orville> does anyone have the flash package available?
[03:19] <burner> fiveiron: after you get network-manager-gnome or network-manager-kde (your choice) then run nm-applet if it doesn't just show up in the notification area
[03:19] <Pelo> !flash | orville

[03:20] <burner> orville: i swear it's in the repositories
[03:20] <JohnM555> burner: I typed nm-applet in the termal but that didn't work, am I doing it wrong?
[03:20] <JohnM555> terminal*
[03:20] <burner> did an error come up in the term?
[03:20] <tonyyarusso> burner: How is it for you?  (Haven't tried it yet)
[03:20] <burner> JohnM555: do you have a notification area in the taskbar?
[03:20] <JohnM555> burner: nm-applet: command not found
[03:20] <orville> Pelo: yes. i'm already at that page. which is how i got to the "Downloading..." part... which doesn't actually download.
[03:20] <JohnM555> burner: Um...I don't even know :\
[03:20] <JohnM555> burner: probably not...
[03:21] <burner> JohnM555: you didn't get network-manager-gnome then
[03:21] <burner> JohnM555: you need that as well as network-manager
[03:21] <JohnM555> alright
[03:21] <tonyyarusso> JohnM555, burner: Likely means network-manager was installed, but not network-manager-gnome, which is a "recommends" dependency, meaning synaptic won't get it by default
[03:21] <bkinman> what is the command to begin the ubuntu installer from the ubuntu desktop disk?
[03:21] <Pelo> orville read the instuctions carefuly
[03:21] <tonyyarusso> bkinman: Double-click?
[03:21] <JohnM555> burner: ohh ok, I'll look that up on the internet. Its a pain not having internet on my ubuntu. I have to transfer everything via usb
[03:21] <burner> fiveiron: forgot if i answered, but network-manager rocks!  still some issues with wpa networks i think, but other than that I love it
[03:22] <burner> JohnM555: it have a wireless?  or wired?
[03:22] <bkinman> tonyyarusso: x is not working for me.
[03:22] <fiveiron> burner, i'm having some trouble finding that... its not on the CD is it...
[03:22] <orville> Pelo: i have. if there is magical reference between the lines which i'm suppsed to be discerning then mayhaps you should just point it out.
[03:22] <burner> JohnM555: you don't need network-manager to get internet working ;)
[03:22] <burner> fiveiron: it's not... apt-get it
[03:22] <orville> reading, believe it or not, is something i'm capable of.
[03:22] <tonyyarusso> bkinman: Ah.  That's a bummer..
[03:22] <rsl> Anyone else running Amarok?
[03:22] <JohnM555> burner: I am trying to get wireless to work on it. and I want to use the network-manager because everything else I have tried failed
[03:22] <orville> rsl: i am
[03:23] <tom_> i use amarok
[03:23] <tonyyarusso> bkinman: Might need to use the alternate CD then; I'm not sure if what you want is possible with the desktop.
[03:23] <JohnM555> I think I messed up my interface, I used to be able to set the wep key but now I can't, is there a way to reset all my wireless settings?
[03:23] <burner> JohnM555: iwconfig and a dhclient usually work for me, but try network-manager-gnome first, then we'll talk command line wireless config :)
[03:23] <JohnM555> burner: Ok
[03:23] <rsl> orville, when you run lsof /dev/snd/* from a terminal, do you get like 6 lines with amarokapp?
[03:23] <rsl> I'm trying to figure out if that's normal.
[03:23] <fiveiron> burner, i'm fine with command line... already reading up on iwconfig
[03:23] <bkinman> tonyyarusso: I could probably configure x to work on my machine from the desktop cd... how would i go about that though?
[03:24] <burner> JohnM555: you can set it via the gnome system->administration->networking
[03:24] <orville> rsl: yes
[03:24] <rsl> orville, cool.
[03:24] <JohnM555> burner: Oh believe me, I've tried :\
[03:24] <burner> lol
[03:24] <Poromenos> how can i make ubuntu desktop into a LAMP server, is there a list of what I have to install?
[03:24] <tonyyarusso> bkinman: Either through 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' or manually editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf if that doesn't work.
[03:24] <JohnM555> burner: I tried using wifi-radio...I tried using iwconfig...I always mess something up
[03:24] <rsl> I've been having problems with sound but I think I fixed them by disabling the esd and system sounds in system > preferences > sound.
[03:24] <lullabud> Poromenos:  apache, mysql and php. ;-)
[03:24] <tom_> i have a question about permissions
[03:25] <burner> JohnM555: make sure to comment everything out of /etc/network/interfaces before using nm-applet
[03:25] <Poromenos> lullabud: which packages exactly, i mean :P
[03:25] <Poromenos> also the p stands for python!
[03:25] <JohnM555> burner: Ah I can do that? Ok :)
[03:25] <JohnM555> burner: I comment with a '#' right?
[03:25] <burner> yep
[03:25] <tonyyarusso> !lamp | Poromenos
[03:25] <ubotu> Poromenos: lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.  For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  -  See also the Server CD install menu.
[03:25] <rsl> Dang it! It just went out again!
[03:25] <Poromenos> great, thanks
[03:25] <lullabud> i'd go with apache2, php5, php5-mysql, mysql-server-5.0
[03:26] <Poromenos> lullabud: that's my setup as well
[03:26] <Poromenos> and mod_python
[03:26] <infidel> i need some help, info please throw me a bone
[03:26] <tonyyarusso> !helpme | infidel
[03:26] <ubotu> infidel: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:26] <Poromenos> how can i change my DNS server permanently? it pisses me off that it always gets it from the dhcp server even when i change it again
[03:26] <Oni-Dracula> getting sick of middle click for context menu, anyone know how to change this?
[03:27] <infidel> ati modules i have to load it manually
[03:27] <fiveiron> Poromenos, do you have access to the DHCP server?
[03:27] <lullabud> Poromenos:  i had a similar problem that was fixed after a reboot.  very strange...
[03:27] <JohnM555> burner: Eh, I'm always missing dependency's without using apt-get, such a pain :\
[03:27] <infidel> !helpme | tonyyarusso
[03:27] <ubotu> tonyyarusso: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:27] <Poromenos> fiveiron: i do
[03:27] <Pelo> Oni-Dracula,  search the forum for mouse buttons
[03:27] <burner> JohnM555: plug it in temporarily to get network-manager-gnome all set up :)
[03:27] <Poromenos> my router is bugged and returns <IP_ADDRESS> for DNS requests
[03:27] <fiveiron> Poromenos, then just set up the DNS servers in the dhcpd.conf
[03:27] <fiveiron> on the DHCP server
[03:27] <tom_> when i change permissions to get HP scanjet 3970 using sudo chmod a+w /dev/bus/usb/005/002 it works fine until i reboot and permissions change back to root Anyon know why?
[03:27] <JohnM555> burner: whats 'it'?
[03:28] <Poromenos> ah, it's a router, and i have set those up, it's not getting them
[03:28] <Poromenos> can i just set them up manually on the client?
[03:28] <Poromenos> like, static ip and all
[03:28] <JohnM555> burner: I can't plug any ethernet in, this is on a desktop pc, theres a reason why I need wireless :P
[03:28] <fiveiron> Poromenos, are you talking a LOCAL dhcp server?  or your ISP?
[03:28] <Poromenos> fiveiron: my local dhcp
[03:28] <infidel>  modprobe fglrx FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/volatile/fglrx.ko': No such file or directory
[03:28] <Poromenos> actually, how can i set a static ip?
[03:28] <burner> good luck JohnM555
[03:28] <fiveiron> and you have a line like this in your dhcpd.conf:  option domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>;
[03:29] <burner> Poromenos: set your /etc/network/interfaces file... google for examples
[03:29] <Poromenos> fiveiron: i configured it through its web interface
[03:29] <Poromenos> it's a WRT54GL
[03:29] <burner> Poromenos: update the firmware?
[03:29] <lullabud> tom_:  it's likely that since it's a usb device that directory is getting created on the fly when the printer is plugged in...
[03:29] <fiveiron> yeah
[03:29] <Poromenos> burner: there's none available :/
[03:29] <Cranky-Deb> !ubotu
[03:29] <tom_> using Dapper.  when i change permissions to get HP scanjet 3970 to work using sudo chmod a+w /dev/bus/usb/005/002 it works fine until i reboot and permissions change back to root Anyone know why?
[03:29] <lullabud> tom_:  so... i don't know the fix, but whatever the cmask is for that dir is is wrong.
[03:30] <burner> Poromenos: set dns in your routers dhcp area to be that of the router
[03:30] <tom_> is there a way to fix it?
[03:30] <fiveiron> this is so weird.... every once in a while one of my pc's will lose its IP address... and I can't get it back... dhclient doesn't get any response back from my server...
[03:30] <Poromenos> burner: that wouldn't work, i have set them to my ISPs
[03:30] <rsl> Is there a way to record the sound going on on my computer? Not a physical sound but the output that Amarok and any music program is giving me.
[03:30] <burner> tom_: i could be way off, but you might want to search about hotplug
[03:30] <Pelo> tom_,   look under system > admin > users and give yourself permission to print there
[03:30] <Poromenos> it's does get the router
[03:30] <tonyyarusso> tom_: Stuff in /dev is auto-configured on boot I believe.  You should probably add yourself to a group I would think, but I don't know exactly how your printer is set up.
[03:30] <Poromenos> it's much simpler for me to set the client with a static ip
[03:30] <tom_> thanks lullabud
[03:31] <Poromenos> how can i install a .deb from the command line?
[03:31] <burner> Poromenos: so edit your config file then... /etc/network/interfaces
[03:31] <Poromenos> burner: will do, thanks :)
[03:31] <burner> sudo dpkg -i blah.deb
[03:31] <tonyyarusso> rsl: Yeah,...I think it's called "capture" in the various inputs (alsamixer, Gnome sound record, etc. settings)
[03:31] <tom_> HP scanjet 3970 is a scanner
[03:31] <Poromenos> great, thanks :)
[03:31] <burner> Poromenos: you can also use the gui... i forget that being old fashioned... system->admin->networking
[03:31] <rsl> tonyyarusso, how would I start it?
[03:31] <JohnM555> burner: And one I install one dependancy, theres another one missing! yay :)
[03:32] <tonyyarusso> rsl: Applications > Sound & Video > Sound Recorder
[03:32] <Pelo> Poromenos, http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[03:32] <Poromenos> burner: i removed the screen :p i'm installing FreeNX now to do that
[03:32] <burner> lol @ JohnM555... never seen anyone so happy about missing dependencies ;)
[03:32] <JohnM555> burner: Its so exciting :)
[03:32] <Poromenos> Pelo: ah, nice one, thanks
[03:32] <Pelo> np
[03:32] <WC`> o_o first time using a linux os on a home machine, ever
[03:33] <Poromenos> burner: you mean VNC style?
[03:33] <WC`> been windows 9x and xp for a good decade :D so i'm very new to this
[03:33] <WC`> having some problems
[03:33] <burner> Poromenos: i mean that... i hope you'll tell me it's doable now?
[03:33] <WC`> specifically with sleep mode on my laptop
[03:33] <Poromenos> burner: no, sadly... i don't think it will ever be
[03:33] <WC`> it enters sleep mode just fine
[03:33] <tom_>  when i change permissions to get HP scanjet 3970 SCANNER using sudo chmod a+w /dev/bus/usb/005/002 it works fine until i reboot and permissions change back to root Anyon know why?
[03:33] <Poromenos> because of the way it works
[03:33] <WC`> but i can't recover from it
[03:33] <Pelo> WC`,  try to explain yourself in one line
[03:34] <WC`> sorry
[03:34] <burner> yeah, i assumed it wouldn't work like that... bummer too because freenx is faaaaaast
[03:34] <t3m17> how do I add restart and shutdown to the quit menu, they aren't there in this XGL session
[03:34] <Pelo> WC`,  this is a very busy channel  it just makes it easier to follow
[03:34] <Poromenos> burner: agree
[03:34] <WC`> Understood
[03:34] <Poromenos> burner: not much of a program for a headless install, though :p
[03:34] <Poromenos> program = problem
[03:34] <WC`> I enter sleep mode, but when I power back on, all I get is a blank screen. Has anyone heard of this issue?
[03:35] <burner> Poromenos: do you know if the local machine can do a freenx login from gdm instead of a local X?  that might be a solution
[03:35] <Pelo> WC`,  try searching for it in the forum
[03:35] <imme> Has anyone in here successfully istalled splashy on ubuntu?
[03:35] <burner> yeah yeah, you're all set, have fun with freenx Poromenos :)
[03:35] <pastillegirl> hello can anyone recommend a program i can use to import LP's and tapes from my stero into linux?
[03:35] <Poromenos> burner: no idea about that :/
[03:35] <burner> wtf is splashy?  /me has custom usplash screens
[03:35] <rsl> tonyyarusso, that just gave me a nasty error about my audio capture settings being invalid. I'm trying to change them but now that's frozen up.
[03:35] <burner> pastillegirl: audacity
[03:35] <mzli> burner, what's freenx?
[03:35] <Samin> is there an English-Greek dictionary or a wordlist, that I can use with gnome-dictionary or kdict?
[03:35] <WC`> I did, and all I found was using vim to edit a file and uncomment one of the lines regarding the video state being saved
[03:36] <Poromenos> samin: are you greek?
[03:36] <WC`> I tried implementing their fix to no avail
[03:36] <pastillegirl> burner thanks :)
[03:36] <Samin> Poromenos, no, but learning Greek
[03:36] <mzli> samiam, you may use stardict for an dic.
[03:36] <Poromenos> Samin: ah
[03:36] <burner> np pastillegirl.... there's also jokosher, but that might be overkill and it's still very new
[03:36] <Poromenos> well, i'm greek if you need anything :p
[03:36] <Samin> Poromenos, thanks :), in the meantime I need some dictionary to use on my Linux box...
[03:36] <imme> burner: http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/doku.php
[03:37] <Pelo> Poromenos,  please this isn't a pickup channel
[03:37] <Poromenos> Samin: no idea about that... i have one but it's windows only and in greek
[03:37] <JohnM555> burner: The dependancies need their own freakin dependancies!
[03:37] <Poromenos> Pelo: :P
[03:37] <tonyyarusso> rsl: Eww..that's beyond my skills
[03:37] <pastillegirl> burner, cool i just installed  audacity :)
[03:37] <imme> burner: Is usplash the same as bootsplash? 'cause I really get confused.
[03:38] <rsl> tonyyarusso, i got it working now. :) I had to set it to a specific setting on the sound card. Weird.
[03:38] <Samin> mzli, thanks for the suggestion, I am checking stardict
[03:39] <dougfunnie> i've got ubuntu 6.06, and installed the flash player, but i can hear no sound. i have usb speakers, does it make a difference?
[03:39] <t3m17> how do I add restart and shutdown to the quit menu, they aren't there in this XGL session
[03:39] <WC`> I've just installed Ubuntu 10 on a Lenovo C100 laptop, but I cannot get it to recover from sleep mode. Upon trying to wake from sleep mode, I get a blank screen. The fix on the forum yielded nothing. Can someone help?
[03:39] <crimsun> dougfunnie: depends which flash version you're using
[03:40] <JohnM555> Do most people use ubuntu on laptops?
[03:40] <dougfunnie> the official version from adobe site
[03:40] <caffiend> Can someone help me out with either mounting an ISO file or extracting it's contents to a USB drive?
[03:40] <Pelo> WC`,  just a thought but try disableing the screen shutdown and the other power saving stuff if you are using sleep mode
[03:40] <dougfunnie> crimsun
[03:40] <mzli> JohnM555, anywhere you want.
[03:41] <dougfunnie> actually, i use gentoo, the ubuntu is on my brother's pc
[03:41] <crimsun> dougfunnie: flash 9 beta or 7.0.68?
[03:41] <WC`> Alright Pelo, I'll give that a shot
[03:41] <Samin> caffiend, sudo mount -o loop foo.iso /mnt/somewhere
[03:41] <pastillegirl> burner, do most people connect the stero ouput to the mic input on the computer to import?  someone told me that in #ubuntuforums
[03:41] <JohnM555> mzli: I know you can use it anywhere, I just see lots of people mention ubuntu+laptops in here
[03:41] <dougfunnie> crimsun 7
[03:41] <pastillegirl> s/ouput/output
[03:41] <mzli> JohnM555, ofcourse it is.
[03:41] <sproingie> JohnM555: laptops is typically where linux generates a lot of support questions
[03:41] <tonyyarusso> JohnM555: You could check the ubuntu counter / user surveys and see
[03:41] <[erisco] > (OFF TOPIC: how do you get into overflow protected channels?)
[03:42] <crimsun> dougfunnie: please remove 7 and use the beta of 9
[03:42] <sproingie> JohnM555: largely due to wireless problems
[03:42] <JohnM555> mzli: And when installing wireless its almost expected you are able to connect up an ethernet cable. If I could use an ethernet cable on my pc I wouldn't need wireless :P
[03:42] <caffiend> Samin: Thanks, this is for a Ubuntu_Server_install that I want to copy to a USB drive.  Will it include all the hidden files?
[03:42] <JohnM555> tonyyarusso: Thanks, I'm not that interested though :P
[03:42] <dougfunnie> crimsun ok
[03:42] <fiveiron> brb
[03:42] <mzli> JohnM555, ubuntu supports wireless too.
[03:43] <Samin> caffiend, just copy all the files (cp -a) in the directory where you mounted the ISO
[03:43] <sproingie> [erisco] : overflow channels are usually capped with a slow rate increase to avoid takeover storms.  try joining again in a few minutes
[03:43] <JohnM555> mzli: I know that, its just lots of tools for helping with wireless are expected to be downloaded via apt-get and such (That I see anyway)
