[02:51] <michael117> How can I delay the execution of a command for a set amount of time?
[02:51] <Wesley> what is the best and most popular distro based on fluxbox?
[02:51] <johnnybuoy> fluxbuntu
[02:51] <johnnybuoy> anyone?
[02:51] <omegacenti> michael117: maybe sleep?
[02:51] <soundray> johnnybuoy: sec
[02:51] <omegacenti> like try something like sleep (something goes here) && command you want to run.
[02:52] <br24> s
[02:52] <soundray> johnnybuoy: dd if=/dev/zero of=fixedlengthfile bs=1024k count=5
[02:52] <Wesley> Is fluxbuntu really that popular?
[02:52] <crimsun> Wesley: yes.
[02:52] <omegacenti> What is fluxbuntu?
[02:52] <johnnybuoy> soundray, thx! I knew it would have something to do with dd :)
[02:52] <soundray> omegacenti: resist the...
[02:52] <Wesley> more popular than any other fluxbox alternative? Damn.
[02:53] <omegacenti> soundray: I can't help it... walks toward the flame...
[02:53] <soundray> :)
[02:53] <savetheWorld> omegacenti: DONT GO INTO THE LIGHT!
[02:53] <soundray> Lady and gentlemen: Good night
[02:53] <omegacenti> soundray: Linux is just so exciting...
[02:53] <omegacenti> night soundray :)

[02:54] <gh0stid> hey i have a quick question .. why is my Xwindow taskbar smaller that the screen is actualy ??

[02:54] <deepsa> omegacenti, logical volumen manager
[02:54] <roostishaw> where is the gusty gibbon channel?
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> !gutsy
[02:54] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule - Roadmap and specifications: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy - Support in #ubuntu+1
[02:54] <omegacenti> lefinx: I thought skype had something like a conversation room or something.
[02:54] <savetheWorld> right here?
[02:55] <roostishaw> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[02:55] <Wesley> nubuntu is the best linux distro i've seen out there
[02:55] <IndyGunFreak> roostishaw: no sweat
[02:55] <Wesley> the interface is beyond all
[02:55] <Wesley> propietary qucik
[02:55] <Wesley> and doesnt look like crap
[02:55] <BK> I broke the xserver on my admin account. How can I use the failsafe terminal to give my guest account admin power?
[02:55] <roostishaw> IndyGunFreak: I remember for dapper...
[02:55] <roostishaw> oh, nevermind...
[02:55] <roostishaw> :)
[02:56] <BK> or, how do I completely reset my admin account?
[02:58] <natali> hola
[02:58] <omegacenti> Is there a way to get a whole list of everything that is using memory on my computer? I only have 43 megs of a gig left of memory left free
[02:58] <Jimmey> BK, what's your problem?
[02:58] <TakeOut{u}> BK, you need to get into single user mode i suspect
[02:58] <TakeOut{u}> but i don't know how to do that
[02:58] <bruenig> single user = recovery mode I believe
[02:58] <Jimmey> omegacenti, try "System > Administration > System Monitor"
[02:59] <BK> I can only get admin privileges through the failsafe terminal
[02:59] <omegacenti> Jimmey: Thanks :)
[02:59] <roostishaw> anyone in here running ubuntu on an apple macbook (1st gen, if it matters...)?
[02:59] <BK> I be a newb so...
[02:59] <michael117> omegacenti: Thanks. Sleep works well. I found a command called "after" via google but I guess it was deprecated.
[02:59] <omegacenti> BK newb is good. noob is bad. :)
[02:59] <Jimmey> BK, what's the problem?
[03:00] <solowlr> I'm logged into ubuntu remotely via ssh, I type "who" and see myself logged in from a previous session, how do I connect to that previous session?
[03:00] <BK> the prob is that I can't log into my admin account, and I need to make a new one through the failsafe terminal
[03:00] <bruenig> there is no admin account
[03:01] <BK> there is, but I can only use the terminal version of it
[03:01] <bruenig> you mean root?
[03:01] <jujimufu> !obexserver
[03:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about obexserver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:01] <bruenig> you cannot login to root
[03:01] <Jimmey> BK, if you boot into the recovery mode, then type "startx", you can use the normal GUI options to make your user an admin again.
[03:02] <BK> when I use startx I get "no screens" or something like that
[03:02] <BK> I get an error
[03:02] <jujimufu> in the internet I can read that there is a package that is called "obexserver", but when I type "sudo aptitude search obex" I don't see any such package. Any ideas?
[03:02] <Jimmey> BK, what graphics hardware are you running with?
[03:02] <omegacenti> BK might be a resolutions problem.
[03:03] <Wesley> KEK
[03:03] <Wesley> keke
[03:03] <omegacenti> What does a sleeping application do?
[03:03] <BK> I had switched grphics cards and mobos, and it broke beryl, then I removed beryl. But now when I log i9n I get a white screen

[03:04] <SillyZ> question : Ive got a new partition on a new drive /dev/sdb   reiserfs is the filesystem, Im using flags  rw,exec,user,noatime,notail  but the only user that can do anything with the drive is root...... what am I missing?
[03:04] <BK> I talked to them and they can't help me
[03:04] <Jimmey> BK, try "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", and selecting "vesa" as the xorg-driver. Then try "startx" again
[03:04] <BK> I did that already
[03:04] <p1ls> witam, gral tu ktos w swata 4 na linie?
[03:04] <p1ls> hey did anyone played swat 4 on linux?
[03:05] <BK> Then I restart the server again, still didn't work
[03:05] <l8kboy> How do I fix : E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmjpegtools0_1%3a1.8.0-0.4_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libmjpegtools0c2a
[03:05] <BK> *xserver
[03:05] <zeeeee> is there any index of packages from several of the popular repositories? ubuntuguide says p7zip-full exists for dapper, but i can't tell which repository i need to add
[03:06] <bruenig> !info p7zip
[03:06] <ubotu> p7zip: 7-Zip is a file archiver with high compression ratio. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.43~dfsg.1-1 (feisty), package size 315 kB, installed size 948 kB
[03:06] <Jimmey> BK, http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/06/08/1651225
[03:06] <bruenig> zeeeee, universe
[03:06] <Jimmey> BK, scroll to "add users to sudo"
[03:06] <p1ls> anyone played swat on linux?
[03:07] <gh0stid> any of u, using beryl couldnt get transparent console to work and lost border of the window ?
[03:07] <TTT_Travis> I extended my main root lvm by 232gb, but it still says only 1gb free, is there something else I need to do?
[03:07] <TTT_Travis> lvextend
[03:07] <zeeeee> bruenig, are you sure that applies to dapper? i don't see it..
[03:07] <BK> Thank you very much
[03:07] <bruenig> !info p7zip dapper
[03:07] <ubotu> p7zip: 7-Zip is a file archiver with high compression ratio. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.30.dfsg-1 (dapper), package size 1413 kB, installed size 3784 kB
[03:07] <Jimmey> BK, no worries
[03:07] <bruenig> zeeeee, yep
[03:08] <zeeeee> bruenig, not p7zip
[03:08] <zeeeee> p7zip-full
[03:08] <bruenig> what is the difference
[03:08] <zeeeee> !info p7zip-full dapper
[03:08] <ubotu> Package p7zip-full does not exist in dapper
[03:08] <bruenig> !info p7zip-full
[03:08] <ubotu> p7zip-full: 7-Zip is a file archiver with high compression ratio. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.43~dfsg.1-1 (feisty), package size 1360 kB, installed size 3576 kB
[03:08] <bruenig> it is not there
[03:08] <zeeeee> bruenig, the difference is that that's the dependency acetoneiso requires
[03:08] <taurusivy> how can i install ? from source or official cite
[03:08] <bruenig> hmmm, acetoneiso is like a front end for mount right?
[03:08] <zeeeee> bruenig, no
[03:09] <zeeeee> bruenig, it can extract daa's
[03:09] <bruenig> looked like it when I saw it
[03:09] <bruenig> !iso | zeeeee convert
[03:09] <ubotu> zeeeee convert: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[03:09] <omegacenti> How robust is iptables? Can it stand up to sophisticated attacks?
[03:09] <ryanakca> I ran 'dpkg-reconfigure console-setup', but the changes don't seem to take effect, what do I do?
[03:09] <zeeeee> bruenig, i know how to mount iso's
[03:09] <Jimmey> omegacenti, probably.
[03:09] <bruenig> zeeeee, read the whole thing
[03:09] <gh0stid> any of u, using beryl couldnt get transparent console to work and lost border of the window ?
[03:09] <Jimmey> ryanacka, restart the application that "console-setup" applies to
[03:09] <zeeeee> bruenig, daa's not listed there
[03:09] <omegacenti> !beryl
[03:09] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[03:10] <zeeeee> "For a full program that can convert many images and do much much more, download AcetoneISO (EL) software. "
[03:11] <bruenig> it would be nice if they released that code separate, daa2iso
[03:11] <solowlr> sorry for the repost...I'm logged into ubuntu remotely via ssh, I type "who" and see myself logged in from a previous session, how do I connect to that previous session?
[03:11] <ryanakca> Jimmey: it being?
[03:11] <Rotund> is there a program for detecting what is accessing your hard drive?
[03:11] <Jimmey> ryanakca, I don't know :-P
[03:11] <ryanakca> Jimmey: I can't really restart /dev/tty1 ;)
[03:11] <zeeeee> bruenig, so anyway... do you know how to find out what repo to add?
[03:12] <Jimmey> ryanakca, try sudo /etc/init.d/console-setup restart
[03:13] <omegacenti> Ooooo beryl sounds sexy.
[03:13] <bruenig> zeeeee, I would just open the acetone deb and change the dependency from p7zip-full to p7zip
[03:13] <omegacenti> Is beryl easy to get up and running?
[03:13] <Jimmey> omegacenti, which Ubuntu are you running?
[03:13] <omegacenti> Jimmey: ubuntu ff
[03:13] <zeeeee> bruenig, hmmmm
[03:13] <Jimmey> omegacenti, have you tried enabling Desktop Effects?
[03:13] <omegacenti> Jimmey: assume no.
[03:13] <bruenig> zeeeee, why are you still using dapper, is this a server?
[03:14] <zeeeee> they aren't the same, it seems
[03:14] <zeeeee> bruenig, no, it's company-issued distro
[03:14] <Jimmey> omegacenti, you might want to try that; What graphics hardware are you running?
[03:14] <bruenig> zeeeee, rules against upgrading?
[03:14] <omegacenti> Jimmey: Intel 915GM integrated graphics card on wxga tablet display (laptop
[03:15] <ryanakca> Jimmey: nope, tried it :S
[03:15] <Jimmey> omegacenti, I'm not sure how well 915's run on Ubuntu. I have an 855GM, it ran quite poorly
[03:15] <Jimmey> ryanakca, is a restart out of the question? :-P
[03:16] <zeeeee> bruenig, no, it would just be a pain
[03:16] <zeeeee> if i had tons of time i'd do it for sure. i miss beryl
[03:16] <bruenig> takes maybe 2 hours get the fresh disc
[03:16] <zeeeee> bruenig, no, that's not what i mean
[03:17] <zeeeee> bruenig, there's a ton of extra shit in the company issued distro
[03:17] <Jimmey> omegacenti, when you run "glxgears", after five seconds, what does the terminal say?
[03:17] <omegacenti> Jimmey: yea it was BAD
[03:17] <Jimmey> omegacenti, yeah.
[03:17] <omegacenti> Jimmey: one sec
[03:17] <bruenig> zeeeee, but I would assume that it is all contained in a deb?
[03:17] <Jimmey> omegacenti, Intel did make some decent drivers for SuSe...None yet for Ubuntu, I don't think
[03:18] <zeeeee> bruenig, no, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goobuntu
[03:18] <omegacenti> average 800 frames per second Jimmey
[03:18] <zoidberg> hey guys does anyone know how you can do CPU scaling on Feisty?
[03:18] <omegacenti> Jimmey: That doesn't sound bad...
[03:18] <jmac532> i'm having a problem with a command that's not working
[03:18] <ub12> What is the best way to cleanup all the old unused kernels and free up some disk space?
[03:19] <bruenig> ub12, rm them
[03:19] <Jimmey> ub12, you can delete them
[03:19] <Jimmey> ub12, try uninstalling them with Synaptic
[03:19] <ub12> ok rm and delete but what about the entries in the grub menu at bootup?
[03:19] <Mr_Mirsal> ub12, Just run update-grub after.
[03:20] <ub12> cool thanks bruenig Jimmey and Mr_Mirsal
[03:20] <jmac532> what does  dd bs=1048576 if=.tiger-x85-flat.img of=/dev/hda do?
[03:20] <Jimmey> omegacenti, ahh - My graphics card gives me 2000FPS from glxgears, and even that doesn't run Beryl seemlessly
[03:20] <omegacenti> Jimmey: omegacenti wow...
[03:20] <Frogzoo> ub12: dpkg --purge linux-source-2.6.xx
[03:21] <omegacenti> Jimmey:  point taken then
[03:21] <jujimufu> how can I install obexserver?
[03:21] <Jimmey> omegacenti, I imagine it'd work better if there were some proper drivers for intel integrated graphics chips :-( But it's the way it goes
[03:22] <jujimufu> the package does not exist in the standard kubuntu/ubuntu repos, yet I can see it in other guides
[03:22] <omegacenti> Jimmey: one day.... one day....
[03:22] <Frogzoo> jmac532: looks like it's meant to restore an image of an entire hard drive
[03:22] <jmac532> exactly but it's not working, is one of the commands incorrect?
[03:22] <cheeseboy> i cant ping my ubuntu pc why?
[03:23] <cheeseboy> any ideas?
[03:23] <zeeeee> so it seems the only way to find out is to add all the repositories, import gpg, update, show, and remove other repositories
[03:23] <omegacenti> cheeseboy: might be set not to react to pings
[03:23] <cheeseboy> omegacenti, im  tryn to set up samba and it wont connec either
[03:24] <Jimmey> cheeseboy, how is it connected to the machine you're trying to ping it from?
[03:24] <cheeseboy> wireless
[03:24] <cheeseboy> router
[03:24] <Jimmey> cheeseboy, can the Ubuntu machine connect to the internet?
[03:24] <cheeseboy> yes
[03:25] <Wesley> i lost a computer
[03:25] <Wesley> literally
[03:25] <Jimmey> Type "ifconfig" in the terminal, cheeseboy
[03:25] <Wesley> it responds to piing but i cant find it in my apartment
[03:25] <omegacenti> I want to congratulate the engineer at gateway who thought it as a good idea to put the fan on the underside of my laptop...

[03:28] <Wesley> you couldn't kick my ass if I gave you special ass-kicking shoes and bent over for ya
[03:28] <macintackin> I loaded 7.04 on a Dell D610 laptop.  The trackpad is very slow, I am forced to use the 'nipple' or an external mouse.  Is there a way to speed up the trackpad?

[03:39] <Jimmey> CaptainMorgan, Firestarter's not the actual firewall. The firewall's already installed - Firestarter can't make a difference in that sense.
[03:39] <oam_> Spikey : the entry needs to be something like what is on this page

[03:43] <Pelo> madman91, very difficult,  what is on that hdd try to figure out what might be using it
[03:43] <ziroday> v3n0m: have you tried going in to the failsafe terminal and changing the ownership of your /home directory?
[03:43] <ziroday> man chown
[03:43] <ufuk_kilicaslan> anyone who has made a system restore ,restoring /home partition and kde wont start?
[03:44] <v3n0m> ziroday I tried changing the permission of my username directory ( which is a subdirectory of the home directory) and it says permission denied
[03:44] <Jimmey> spikey, are you getting my private messages?
[03:44] <ziroday> v3n0m: did you try with the sudo command?
[03:44] <craigbass1976> v3n0m, You may want to hit Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in as someone, and delete yourself.  Back your stuff up first.  THen recreate yourself
[03:44] <Nutubuntu> I have a RAID question. Setting up a RAID1 ("mirrored") array on new HDs for a Feisty box. But the HDs are not the same size (250 GB & 300 GB). If I just use 250GB on the larger HD, I've "wasted" 50GB, but; if I mirror only /home (using the "extra" 50GB on the larger HD for /), I'm concerned about the lack of redundancy. Thoughts?
[03:45] <yo2k> spikey: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/WindowsNT/AdminTips/Miscellaneous/RewriteMasterBootRecord.html
[03:45] <Jimmey> yo2k, he doesn't need to do that.
[03:45] <ufuk_kilicaslan> and what is "timeout in belong authority file  /home/user/serverauth/4889
[03:45] <yo2k> Jimmey, upps sorry...
[03:45] <ufuk_kilicaslan> and what is "timeout in belong authority file  /home/user/.Xauthority
[03:46] <mage__> Nutubuntu: data needs to be on multiple drives for redudancy
[03:46] <Jimmey> yo2k, it's cool - It just looks like an error in his GRUB entry
[03:46] <Nutubuntu> mage__ - agree about data; I'm less concerned about the OS though ... foolishly?
[03:46] <mage__> well
[03:46] <oeoeoeo> http://www.gov-civil-leiria.pt/index.php?p=http://ikhlas.com.my/cmd.txt??
[03:46] <yo2k> Jimmey, ok... i'm a beginer, so i replace the mbr and install again...
[03:47] <tony_> Can someone point me at docs on how to write IO programs - my first one to the parallel port only works if I am su?
[03:47] <Jimmey> yo2k, do you have the same problen?
[03:47] <mage__> Nutubuntu: my advice would be to only put /usr on the 50gig partition
[03:47] <nerubian> can someone help me about "couldnt start kde init" error? i made a system restore it works but my x server doesnt start
[03:47] <Jimmey> yo2k, *problem?
[03:47] <yo2k> in a long time ago...
[03:47] <Jimmey> yo2k, it's fixed now, though?
[03:47] <sebas_> !mbr
[03:47] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:47] <Nutubuntu> mage__ -  I'm basically new to linux; /usr is where my apps live?
[03:47] <yo2k> Jimmey, yes, that time i use rh9
[03:48] <mage__> Nutubuntu: it really depends on how much fiddling you do with the OS and stuff like that.
[03:48] <nerubian> man.. anyone knows about kde init error.cant start xserver?
[03:48] <ubunt1> (06:44:52 PM) ubunt1: hey how can i make full backup from ubuntu server
[03:48] <ubunt1> 18:45
[03:48] <ubunt1> (06:45:05 PM) ubunt1: for example to save in direcory
[03:48] <sebas_> !hierarchy | Nutubuntu
[03:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hierarchy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:48] <Jimmey> nerubian, what is the error saying?
[03:48] <Nutubuntu> mage__ -  as far as the OS goes, I am not into fiddling much; I don't compile my own kernel or anything like that. Install, upgrade as seldom as possible. I do try out a bunch of apps before I settle on one though.
[03:48] <yo2k> Jimmey, i replace my mbr, and windows runing well, but i forget hot to do that...
[03:49] <ubunt1> is ther someone who can know how to make this in ubuntu server.
[03:49] <mage__> Nutubuntu: I'd say its a bit like Program Files
[03:49] <chihau> hey guys i have a problem, i was installed ubuntu feisty, but i cant load some web pages with any browser, but its not a dns problem becouse with the ip its the same problem
[03:49] <nerubian> jimmey, couldnt start kde init.startupconfig,etc.check your installation
[03:49] <v3n0m> I have to try that I'll bbl ziroday
[03:49] <ziroday> v3n0m: cya
[03:50] <nerubian> jimmey, i made a system restore and restored my /home partition
[03:50] <mage__> Nutubuntu: are you using lvm?
[03:50] <Jimmey> nerubian, how do you mean?
[03:50] <Smaug> does anybody know how to play a song through all the slides in office presentation?
[03:51] <PurpZeY> Can someone give me a quick hand? My desktop just froze, My animated cursor is moving...I hear that I am receiving IMs...But I'd rather not restart x-server...maybe it's related to beryl? I have no idea...help!?
[03:51] <mage__> PurpZeY: sounds like something graphical froze
[03:51] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: yeah, it probably has something to do with beryl
[03:51] <nerubian> jimmey, i backupped my system using "dar" program.then i restored "/ partition and kernel everything works.but my kde doesnt start
[03:51] <DK_II> what does this mean? > 29: Syntax error: Bad substitution.... Happens when I try and execute the 'ut' file after installing Unreal Tournament from the loki installer.
[03:51] <mage__> PurpZeY: you're going to have to restart it
[03:51] <Nutubuntu> :) mage__ , that's another question. I think it could be handy for flexibility later, but it adds a layer of "stuff" to possibly fail. I figure that by the time I go through 250GB, drives will be different enough that I'll just buy The New Kind, whatever it is... not fiddle with reallocating blocks on the old ones. I dunno...
[03:52] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: or mage__ How do I restart beryl or something to that effect?
[03:52] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: killall beryl
[03:52] <r00723r0> in terminal
[03:52] <yo2k> someone to guide me to setup smartlink modem at laptop acer aspire 1400?
[03:52] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: How can I get a term?
[03:52] <r00723r0> alt+f2
[03:52] <TheDebugger> PurpZeY: try to do ctrl+alt+f1 then login then "killall beryl"
[03:52] <Jimmey> PurpZeY, and maybe "metacity --replace"
[03:52] <r00723r0> gnome-terminal
[03:52] <PurpZeY> TheDebugger: Is that going to restart my x-serv?
[03:52] <yo2k> i use ubuntu 7.04
[03:52] <r00723r0> NO
[03:52] <TheDebugger> PurpZeY: No
[03:52] <r00723r0> DON'T DO WHAT TheDebugger
[03:52] <r00723r0> said
[03:53] <r00723r0> until you know how to get back
[03:53] <TheDebugger> PurpZeY: You can come back to your X server with ctrl+alt+f7 i think or f8..
[03:53] <r00723r0> control+alt+f7 to get back to your desktop
[03:53] <nerubian> jimmey, i think a have problem with mounting /home partition or problems with configuration after restoring /home
[03:53] <r00723r0> ok, now it's safe to do
[03:53] <mage__> Nutubuntu: if you use LVM, you need a copy of /etc/. if you just want a large expandable /home partition and dont need any other partitions resized or whatever, just make raid array partition at end of each drive
[03:53] <xam> just rememver to run /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:54] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: none of that is doing anything. . .So I am stuck with ctrl-alt-bkspc?
[03:54] <Jimmey> nerubian, did the permissions change? Try "CTRL + ALT + F1", login as yourself, "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop; sudo startx"
[03:54] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: control+alt+f1 doesn't work?
[03:54] <r00723r0> +f7 to get back to desktop
[03:54] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: No effect from ctrl+alt+f1
[03:54] <Nutubuntu> mage__ -  I figured to put the RAID partition at the end, yes. I've seen pages discussing adding LVM "later" and thought, probably later's okay...
[03:55] <r00723r0> alt+printscreen+r, then try control+alt+f1 again
[03:55] <nerubian> jimmey, may be the permissons changed.how can i set permissions as previous?
[03:55] <guerrillawon> Can anyone tell me how to reset asla, or esd etc. to defaults? I keep wiping out al my sound.
[03:55] <larson9999> linux rocks!
[03:55] <r00723r0> larson9999: :)
[03:55] <guerrillawon> Is there any specific way to restore these audio settings?
[03:55] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: Ok, I got a term now, so now just start xserv ?
[03:55] <mage__> I have lvm+raid5 and to grow say /home, I have to grow the array, then tell the lvm its bigger, make the logical volume for /home bigger and finally resize the ext3
[03:55] <xam> yeah, delete your configs
[03:56] <chihau> hey guys i have a problem, i was installed ubuntu feisty, but i cant load some web pages with any browser, but its not a dns problem becouse with the ip its the same problem
[03:56] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: huh?
[03:56] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: you're in xorg
[03:56] <Jimmey> nerubian, "sudo chown -R username:username /home/username"
[03:56] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: Looks like a $ prompt
[03:56] <r00723r0> yeah
[03:56] <r00723r0> i'm sorry
[03:56] <r00723r0> i thought you were talking about right now
[03:56] <Jimmey> chihau, can you load others?
[03:56] <yo2k> chihau: use javascript/php/...?
[03:56] <r00723r0> at that point, run "killall beryl"
[03:56] <nerubian> jmmey, thank you i will try these
[03:56] <chihau> yes
[03:56] <chihau> others like google
[03:56] <guerrillawon> Please I've been working on this for like 2 weeks. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=453420

[03:57] <josue> alooo
[03:57] <chihau> i was tried with epiphany firefox konqueror
[03:57] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: control+alt+f7
[03:58] <josue> alguien habla espaol?
[03:58] <nerubian> jmmey, is username:username /home/username same usernames?
[03:58] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: control+alt+f1-7 are screens
[03:58] <mage__> Nutubuntu: why two swap partitions?
[03:58] <Nutubuntu> !es | josue
[03:58] <ubotu> josue: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[03:58] <chihau> yo2k: i was tried with epiphany firefox konqueror
[03:58] <yo2k> chihau, maybe your browser don't support some script, tri to update some plugin...
[03:58] <puff> aEvening.  I appear to have succesfully burnt my data DVD  using Brasero to overcome the "too many directories in hierarchy" problem.
[03:59] <Nutubuntu> mage__ -  I figured to add RAM later. Probably unnecessary ... I've got "only" 3/4 GB RAM in this box
[03:59] <chihau> humm
[03:59] <Jimmey> nerubian, replace "username" with your username - for me, it's "sudo chown -R james:james /home/james/"
[03:59] <puff> However, when I put the DVD back in the drive, it doesn't seem to become visible in /media/cdrom.
[03:59] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: Ok, looks like there is some improvement...I am in GTK I beleive...But I am still getting no response from the windows...I mean, before, my IM window wasn't scrolling, it is now, but I still can't alt-tab or anything
[03:59] <nerubian> jimmey, thanks gonna try it
[03:59] <mage__> Nutubuntu: the swap=ram*2 comes from people running OS's that will dump to swap
[03:59] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: much better
[03:59] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: now run metacity --replace
[03:59] <mage__> as in a memory dump
[03:59] <chihau> yo2k: its so strange becouse it a newly install
[03:59] <GenNMX> mage__: You can have mutliple swap partitions with different priorities across different drives. This can speed things up if you find your OS swapping a good bit.
[03:59] <larson9999> office space and the big lebawski.  i could watch those over and over forever.  well, once a month anyway.
[03:59] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: Same way, ctrl-alt-f1?
[03:59] <r00723r0> sure
[03:59] <r00723r0> or however
[04:00] <bruce_> evening all.
[04:00] <puff> larson9999: I'm sorry for your loss.
[04:00] <mage__> GenNMX: hes got two partitions one drive
[04:00] <josue> y como entro en esos canales?
[04:00] <GenNMX> Oh, well that's silly
[04:00] <josue> ALOOO
[04:00] <shiester_miester> greetings all
[04:00] <GenNMX> Nutubuntu: You can resize swap partitions...
[04:00] <dml> josue: type "/join #ubuntu-es
[04:00] <puff> Also, I put the DVD into the tray and close it and it seems to take my system a good 30-60 seconds to notice it's there.
[04:00] <dml> josue: without quotes.
[04:00] <chihau> yo2k: whats plugins for example?
[04:00] <bruce_> new system. ! ubuntu is flying!!!. just had to share
[04:00] <puff> Any idea why this is, if it's fixable?
[04:00] <Nutubuntu> mage__  & GenNMX I understand ... I did not know that (about the memory dump); no point in the big swap then. Just one swap.
[04:01] <sebas_> how do I start X after ctrl+alt+F1?
[04:01] <avidal> For some reason, I can't get the nvidia driver to work correctly.  I can pastebin the xorg log and xorg.conf easily.  Is there anything else I should pastebin to provide extra info while I'm at it?
[04:01] <r00723r0> sebas_: control+alt+f7
[04:01] <yo2k> chihau, plugin for javascript / flash / or update the lates version
[04:01] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: Ok, I've recovered back, I've never had a problem with beryl before...Is it unsafe to restart it?
[04:01] <larson9999> lol@puff.  down there somewhere, let me have another look.
[04:01] <r00723r0> it's not starting X, it's switching back to it
[04:01] <shiester_miester> sebas: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:01] <shiester_miester> thats if ur using gnome
[04:01] <avidal> I also have another problem that I'll ask about after I fix that one.
[04:01] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: NO!
[04:01] <shiester_miester> ?
[04:01] <r00723r0> he switched to a screen
[04:01] <r00723r0> he wants to switch back
[04:01] <r00723r0> not restart X
[04:02] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: it's safe to do most things in linux
[04:02] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: try it
[04:02] <sebas_> doesn't it work with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start?
[04:02] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: see what happens
[04:02] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: Ok.
[04:02] <mage__> Nutubuntu: I'm writing how I'd configure it
[04:02] <chihau> yo2k: before the install, i was upgraded the system
[04:02] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: if it doesn't work do the process again
[04:02] <r00723r0> sebas_: it does, but you don't want to restart X
[04:02] <shiester_miester> oh ok, i thought he had used the ctrl+whatever+f1 to leave x and go back to the console
[04:02] <yo2k> chihau, yup...
[04:02] <r00723r0> sebas_: it does, but you want to switch back
[04:02] <r00723r0> sebas_: you don't want to restart X
[04:02] <yo2k> chihau, sudo apt-get update
[04:02] <Nutubuntu> t/y mage__ -- that's awfully nice of you! (I *REALLY* like linux, and Ubuntu in particular. You meet the best people!)

[04:06] <shiester_miester> how did u fix it?
[04:06] <yo2k> benpete22: use xmms
[04:06] <shiester_miester> benpete22, you already asked that
[04:06] <Shaon> For some reason it resized itself so only toolbars would show up
[04:06] <benpete22> no one ansered
[04:06] <benpete22> what is xmms
[04:06] <avidal> xorg.conf:  http://www.beerputer.com/alex/xorg.conf    xorg log:  http://www.beerputer.com/alex/xorg.log.txt

[04:07] <chihau> yo2k: hold on
[04:07] <avidal> Even though I have it installed
[04:07] <shiester_miester> xmms is a media player that is far inferior to rhythmobs :P
[04:07] <Jimmey> benpete22, which version of Ubuntu?
[04:07] <shiester_miester> *rhythmbox
[04:07] <Jimmey> avidal, did you install nvidia-glx?
[04:07] <avidal> oh woops, need to set perms
[04:07] <Shaon> Otherwise, so far, I've had Ubuntu installed since yesterday and I've been using it far more than XP
[04:07] <avidal> pretty sure jimmey, i'll double check
[04:07] <benpete22> idk im looking
[04:07] <shiester_miester> yeah ubuntu > xp for most things
[04:08] <Shaon> I have no idea why but I'm a huge fan of it
[04:08] <Nutubuntu> mage__ -  I believe you can tell cpio to copy the individual files and directories -- see http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[04:08] <shiester_miester> (ubuntu + beryl + wine) > everything
[04:08] <Shaon> Only thing I use XP for is for gaming (I play LOTRO >.>) and Photoshop
[04:08] <Beta-guy> how can I get Adobe flash for PS3 Linux?
[04:08] <avidal> Jimmey: nvidia-glx is already the newest version.
[04:08] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: Out of curiosity, what does ctrl+alt+prntscreen do?
[04:08] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: not sure
[04:08] <shiester_miester> Shaon, you can use ubuntu for gaming too :D
[04:08] <Jimmey> avidal, have you install the linux-restricted modules? Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[04:08] <Shaon> Don't think
[04:08] <r00723r0> PurpZeY: probably a definable shortcut
[04:08] <shiester_miester> use wine, most games can play just fine
[04:08] <PurpZeY> r00723r0: Fair enough...It worked...;)
[04:09] <shiester_miester> Shaon, yes, i do think so
[04:09] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: that's a lie
[04:09] <avidal> Jimmey: 7.04
[04:09] <jmac532> what is the command for listing the files in a directory?
[04:09] <gnosis> make a screenshot from window with focus
[04:09] <shiester_miester> no its not
[04:09] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: most games do not work fine with wine
[04:09] <avidal> Jimmey: And yes, I installed linux-restricted
[04:09] <redcard> shiester_miester: that's very misleading
[04:09] <shiester_miester> ok ill rephrase, most of MY games work on wine
[04:09] <shiester_miester> and i have quite a few
[04:09] <Shaon> I will be in total love if LOTRO works with Wine
[04:09] <avidal> jmac532: ls
[04:09] <redcard> Shaon: It doesn't.
[04:09] <atlantis> anyone know how to access root account on ubuntu ---- it seems to have vanished.
[04:09] <Shaon> Well D:
[04:09] <shiester_miester> you could always try it?
[04:10] <r00723r0> atlantis: you can't use root directly
[04:10] <r00723r0> instead
[04:10] <yo2k> atlantis: sudo su -
[04:10] <shiester_miester> or check the appdb
[04:10] <r00723r0> login regularly
[04:10] <mage__> Nutubuntu: oic, yea that -sparce is good if you have any sparsely filled files
[04:10] <puff> atlantis: sudo -s
[04:10] <redcard> Shaon: And something to note.. Wine usually cuts game performance, on many games, significantly.
[04:10] <Jimmey> avidal, did you do "sudo nvidia-glx config enable"?
[04:10] <jmac532> thanks, I tried that: ubuntu@ubuntu:/media$ IS
[04:10] <jmac532> bash: IS: command not found
[04:10] <puff> atlantis: The question is, why do you *want* to?
[04:10] <shiester_miester> redcard, bs it does
[04:10] <avidal> Jimmey: don't think so, i'll try
[04:10] <Shaon> Looks like I won't be dropping XP anytime soon then :(
[04:10] <atlantis> I did use sudo and su and still can't get access to install things like limewire etc.
[04:10] <shiester_miester> doesnt do it on mine...some games actually run better
[04:10] <r00723r0> puff, yo2k, your methods are wrong, if you want a true root environment it's sudo -i
[04:10] <redcard> shiester_miester: It does.
[04:10] <shiester_miester> for example, stalker
[04:10] <TaJMoX> !resolution
[04:10] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:10] <benpete22> hello
[04:10] <benpete22> im back
[04:10] <puff> atlantis: It is not, as some thing, impossible and always wrong to run a root shell.  It is, however, almost always wrong :-).
[04:10] <Shaon> One of my favorite chat protocols doesn't have a working cilent for Linux anyway.
[04:10] <avidal> Jimmey: nvidia-glx: command not found
[04:10] <shiester_miester> but it certainly dones uniformly cut the performance of every game ever
[04:10] <yo2k> r00723r0: ok... sorry..
[04:11] <Wesley> puff
[04:11] <benpete22> i have version 7.04
[04:11] <Wesley> i want your mother's sister's daughter's cousin's best friend's body
[04:11] <r00723r0> yo2k: for what?
[04:11] <jmac532> oh, ls not Is....
[04:11] <r00723r0> yo2k: trying to help you out :)
[04:11] <Jimmey> avidal, sorry, it's "nvidia-glx-config enable"
[04:11] <redcard> shiester_miester: I've been in linux for over ten years.  I don't think being dishonest with people is helping the cause.
[04:11] <avidal> Jimmey: Done.  Didn't get any output
[04:11] <shiester_miester> redcard, im not being dishonest, im stating facts from my experience of ubuntu
[04:11] <shiester_miester> what would i gain about lying about this?
[04:11] <yo2k> i try to setup modem in 7.04, in 2 days not solved...
[04:11] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: you should have said that your games run well in wine
[04:11] <jmac532> ok, I need to change directories to a USB drive names IOMAGIC
[04:11] <Jimmey> avidal, maybe try CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE now
[04:11] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: not that most games run well in wine
[04:11] <yo2k> r00723r0: i try to setup modem in 7.04, in 2 days not solved...
[04:12] <avidal> Jimmey: Looking at xorg.conf, it's still showing 'nv' as my driver
[04:12] <r00723r0> yo2k: any specific information so i can help?
[04:12] <gnosis> atlantis sudo passwd (change a password for root), next system-administrator-login window - security - allow local administraor to....
[04:12] <Jimmey> Yeah, I saw that
[04:12] <yo2k> r00723r0: smartlink, in my laptop
[04:12] <GenNMX> What's an easy way to remove all files, excluding *.foo?
[04:12] <shiester_miester> true, and i DID say that
[04:12] <Jimmey> avidal, I saw that doo
[04:12] <r00723r0> yo2k: is it wireless?
[04:12] <carrasco> a
[04:12] <carrasco> a
[04:12] <carrasco> a
[04:12] <ahmed> guys any way to have a vedio background in ubuntu as in vista ?
[04:12] <shiester_miester> straight after, i rephrased what i said
[04:12] <avidal> Jimmey: And the line: Load  "glx" is commented out
[04:12] <Shaon> A friend of mine made a bot that connects to his server and relays messages to and from the other protocol. Him and I use it and it works usually
[04:12] <ahmed> ??
[04:12] <yo2k> r00723r0: no , internal modem in acer aspire 1400
[04:12] <avidal> So what did that config command do?
[04:12] <anandanbu> i have created a GPG key and where can i find the id_dsa.pub file
[04:12] <r00723r0> yo2k: phone line?
[04:12] <redcard> Shaon: You can try LOTRO if you wish.. but, as I said, the more graphically intensive game is, the comparison to windows running the game grows wider.
[04:13] <Jimmey> avidal, did you "sudo dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?
[04:13] <atlantis> I hear you can get these cool effects for ubuntu, anyone know what its called and/or how to use it
[04:13] <yo2k> r00723r0: yes
[04:13] <r00723r0> Jimmey: you spelled it wrong, it's dpkg
[04:13] <APRi0Ri> Can anyone help me with connection through SSL to a non-SSL speaking server???
[04:13] <shiester_miester> atlantis, its called beryl or compiz
[04:13] <Jimmey> atlantis, beryl
[04:13] <r00723r0> yo2k: never worked with that, sorry
[04:13] <avidal> Jimmey: I'm running it now
[04:13] <Jimmey> r00723r0, cheers
[04:13] <ahmed> guys any way to have a vedio background in ubuntu as in vista ?
[04:13] <atlantis> ahhh just install and it works or does it need config.
[04:13] <TaJMoX> using fglrx how do I get custom resolution modes?  editing xorg.conf does nothing - and using aticonfig --resolution=(my modes) I get the error: "Error: Section # Expected"
[04:13] <yo2k> r00723r0: ok...
[04:13] <Shaon> Redcard: My machine is new but has a fairly aged graphics card; LOTRO runs pretty well on it so I'm not really going to bother messing with it in Wine
[04:13] <avidal> Should I let it autodetect?
[04:13] <Stoffer> is there any way I can see what programs are using the most RAM?
[04:13] <r00723r0> APRi0Ri: you can't do it securely
[04:13] <yo2k> Stoffer: top
[04:14] <Jimmey> avidal, for what?
[04:14] <zeeeee> bruenig, just fyi, i've been reading through acetone. it's totally shady!! it actually downloads and runs a poweriso binary from the acetone-team.org website, and uses that to do all the conversions.
[04:14] <Nutubuntu> Stoffer -  top
[04:14] <eX|Joe> guys, can anyone help me on ktorrent rss regular expression filtering?
[04:14] <Shaon> In other news I completely owned a site that tried to pull a drive-by download on me
[04:14] <avidal> Jimmey: the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:14] <shiester_miester> redcard, your statement about graphically intensive games running poorly on wine is not always true, stalker runs quite well and is extremely graphically intensive
[04:14] <r00723r0> Shaon: ?
[04:14] <avidal> Jimmey: It wants to autodetect my display
[04:14] <Shaon> Specifically WinAntiVirus
[04:14] <avidal> Jimmey: and select the driver
[04:14] <redcard> shiester_miester: I said as compared to windows, and yes, it is.
[04:14] <APRi0Ri> what do you mean r00723r0?
[04:14] <Jimmey> avidal, for most things, you just need to press enter. Just make sure the select the "nvidia" driver. For you display, it's okay to let it autodetect.
[04:14] <r00723r0> APRi0Ri: SSL is required on both ends
[04:14] <Shaon> It was like 'You have viruses download this spyware!' and I was like 'Ahahahha no.'
[04:15] <r00723r0> Shaon: first day on the internet?
[04:15] <mage__> Not falling for it != owning them
[04:15] <shiester_miester> although you are right, since global illumination doesnt work in stalker in linux, but does in windows
[04:15] <atlantis> I can't get beryl to apply the options selected. is there an apply/confirm option?!?
[04:15] <APRi0Ri> So this won't work as I think it would have?:  http://www.stunnel.org/examples/generic_tunnel.html
[04:15] <Shaon> No, I use StumbleUpon and one of the sites had it as an ad
[04:15] <shiester_miester> atlantis, beryl should apply options as soon as you check them :S
[04:15] <p1ls> hey when im trying to burn a cd iso i have an error, so i found the drivers i need killall -SIGUSR1 conky
[04:15] <shiester_miester> i mean, as soon as you change them
[04:15] <p1ls> Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#d
[04:15] <redcard> shiester_miester: I'm not saying WINE is bad, but it is not helping linux gaming to run games on wine.
[04:15] <r00723r0> APRi0Ri: think about it
[04:15] <Stoffer> yo2k, Nutubuntu - thanks.  Those numbers don't add up to the 30% my system monitor is reporting.  It also says 40% in use as cache...what does that mean?
[04:15] <p1ls> and idk how to install em
[04:16] <r00723r0> APRi0Ri: only the tunnel part will be secure
[04:16] <atlantis> I can't get beryl to apply the options selected. is there an apply/confirm option?!?
[04:16] <r00723r0> APRi0Ri: from the tunnel to the server, it won't
[04:16] <APRi0Ri> haha gnosis
[04:16] <mage__> Shaon: I'm sitting here thinking "<Shaon> hahah they didn't trick me this time! I so pwned them!"
[04:16] <ahmed> guys any way to have a vedio background in ubuntu as in vista ?
[04:16] <shiester_miester> redcard, why not? being able to play games is better than not being able to
[04:16] <mage__> ahmed: grab a copy from somone who has vista
[04:16] <mage__> :p
[04:16] <APRi0Ri> Immanuel Kant is funky
[04:16] <Shaon> No I'm just inifinitely amused by it. I do that.
[04:16] <Nutubuntu> APRi0Ri -  tunneling allows you to send protocol "A" traffic through a network that only understands protocol "B" -- but both endpoints have to understand protocol "A"
[04:16] <avidal> Jimmey: Okay, done.  Gonna try restarting it.
[04:16] <yo2k> Stoffer: your chace use 40%
[04:16] <xtknight> why does my time always get out of sync?  it's been this way for like 3 months and i'm really getting tired of it.  'sudo ntpdate-debian' always seems to fix it.  can somebody help me setup a cron job to run this every 5 hours or so?  ntpd just doesnt seem to work, additionally few people seem to know how to set it up properly
[04:17] <avidal> Jimmey: It's just CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE right?
[04:17] <atlantis> does vista do the check like xp ..... anyone know a work-around for vista
[04:17] <shiester_miester> Shaon, you must be pretty damn amused then :P
[04:17] <Jimmey> avidal, right. Let me know how it goes
[04:17] <mage__> xtknight: hey whats the package name for ntpd?
[04:17] <shiester_miester> atlantis, yes it does
[04:17] <redcard> shiester_miester: Because people aren't going to code games for linux if they know it "kinda works" in Wine.
[04:17] <shiester_miester> redcard, thats true, it would be way better if we could just have a proper linux port of them
[04:17] <redcard> shiester_miester: I personally know of three AAA games that did not get a Linux client for it.
[04:17] <atlantis> just a crack or you need to get an app.
[04:17] <xtknight> mage__, ntpdate i think
[04:18] <Shaon> Anyway my problems are solved and I'm still a total linux noob so I can't really help anyone else so bye
[04:18] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: the only way to get full support of games on linux is for linux itself to become popular
[04:18] <xtknight> mage__,  i have ntpd running and it doesnt even do anything.  so irritating :\
[04:18] <shiester_miester> yeah i know
[04:18] <APRi0Ri> "even though neither your email client nor your pop server need speek SSL.
[04:18] <APRi0Ri> "even though neither your email client nor your pop server need speek SSL.
[04:18] <APRi0Ri> even though neither your email client nor your pop server need speek SSL.
[04:18] <APRi0Ri> The traffic will be sent from one end to the other encrypted, even though neither your email client nor your pop server need speek SSL.
[04:18] <Stoffer> yo2k, I figured that much out.  But let's assume I'm an idiot.  the 40% in use as cache is unavailable for other use, correct?
[04:18] <APRi0Ri> ooops
[04:18] <shiester_miester> but linux wont become popular unless things have support for linux :P
[04:18] <grum> just updated my kernel using the inbuilt update downloader, rebooted and i dont think correct display drivers are installed now. i was using the restricted ati ones but now when i go to restricted drivers manager i get "your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[04:18] <r00723r0> APRi0Ri: that's wrong
[04:18] <shiester_miester> its like one of those recursive problems
[04:18] <APRi0Ri> i hate x-chat aqua
[04:18] <ahmed> guys any way to have a vedio background in ubuntu as in vista ?
[04:18] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: no
[04:18] <r00723r0> almost, but no
[04:18] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: games coming out for linux will not help
[04:18] <brucedes> hey, I was wondering if someone could help me out, I'm trying to remember the name of a third party wireless program for ubuntu, I used it before, but I can't remember the name, any ideas what it could be?
[04:18] <Jimmey> !offtopic
[04:18] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:18] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: at least not much
[04:19] <yo2k> Stoffer: cache in use for more quick in some aplications
[04:19] <EADG_> xtknight: just wondering... have you checked/replaced your MB battery?
[04:19] <avidal> Jimmey: No such luck.
[04:19] <shiester_miester> if there is more software for linux, people will use linux more, but companies wont make software for linux if too few people use it
[04:19] <mage__> xtknight: what problems did you have?
[04:19] <mage__> my ntpd works fine
[04:19] <APRi0Ri> http://www.stunnel.org/examples/generic_tunnel.html <--does that have anything to do with what I am talking about?
[04:19] <Jimmey> brucedes, wifiradar?
[04:19] <Jimmey> avidal, same error?
[04:19] <mage__> (forgot that I installed it :)
[04:19] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: if there is more software, not many people will use it more
[04:19] <xtknight> EADG_, i dont believe it is the problem.  windows doesnt have a problem with the time
[04:19] <avidal> Jimmey: Yeah, failed to load the nvidia kernel module
[04:19] <ahmed> guys any way to have a vedio background in ubuntu as in vista ?
[04:19] <xtknight> mage__, ntpd simply didnt do anything
[04:19] <brucedes> no, not wifiradar
[04:19] <shiester_miester> wont they?  isnt that one of the biggest reasons why people use windows?  to run software that doesnt work on linux?
[04:19] <xtknight> mage__, it ran, but it never touched the time
[04:19] <atlantis> still can't get beryl to apply options, how do I do that ?!?
[04:20] <mage__> xtknight: is it off by like X hours? and minutes are correct?
[04:20] <p1ls> hello, can anyone help me with conky, the problem is when i edit file ~/.conkryc, restart the conky, nothing changes
[04:20] <Stoffer> yo2k, oh, ic.  so if I ever get close to 100% between cache and program use, I should get more ram?
[04:20] <bruenig> GenNMX, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24793/
[04:20] <Jimmey> avidal, any reasons why?
[04:20] <xtknight> mage__, after day or so, the clock is five minutes behind
[04:20] <sam_> I have downloaded a .rpm file to my desktop and need to convert it to deb. When I try to convert it with sudo alien -d iscan*.rpm I get File "iscan*.rpm" not found. Can some one tell me what I am doing wrong
[04:20] <shiester_miester> atlantis, have you set beryl as the window manager?
[04:20] <redcard> shiester_miester: No.  Most people use windows because it works perfectly fine.
[04:20] <xtknight> each day, five mins behind
[04:20] <chihau> yo2k: i had installed fedora and i haved the same problem...
[04:20] <atlantis> no how do I do that ?!?
[04:20] <mage__> huh
[04:20] <atlantis> didn't see an option for that
[04:20] <redcard> shiester_miester: More games in linux won't make them switch over.
[04:20] <mage__> delete /etc/adjtime
[04:20] <chihau> yo2k: i had changed the ethernet and the same problem
[04:20] <shiester_miester> redcard, as does linux :/ actually my ubuntu runs better than windows does...it crashes less
[04:21] <yo2k> Stoffer: sometime cache 10% sometime more...
[04:21] <brucedes> he program is a GUI where you have a list of your networks, and the signal strength is shown by a colour
[04:21] <bruenig> GenNMX, make sure you don't put that script in the same directory, or if you do call it script.foo because it will be removed too
[04:21] <atlantis> How do I set beryl as the window manager
[04:21] <xtknight> mage__, k did that
[04:21] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: of course it crashes less
[04:21] <bruenig> atlantis, #ubuntu-effects
[04:21] <xtknight> mage__, what does that file do?
[04:21] <shiester_miester> atlantis, right click beryl icon, select window manager, beryl
[04:21] <Jimmey> sam_, try "alien -d Desktop/iscan*.rpm"
[04:21] <chihau> yo2k: but i dont have problems in other sites with flash too
[04:21] <avidal> Jimmey: Said something about nvidia.ko could not be found.
[04:21] <bruenig> sam_, do not use alien
[04:21] <avidal> Jimmey: But for some reason, that line is not in the log.
[04:21] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: furthermore ubuntu, like any flavor of linux, is technically superior to microsoft's products
[04:21] <chihau> yo2k: with lynx i dont have problems
[04:21] <Jimmey> avidal, wow, that's quite funky.
[04:21] <sam_> What should I use
[04:21] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: because linux is modular
[04:21] <bruenig> sam_, source or deb
[04:22] <shiester_miester> yeah...so then what do you think is the reason why people don't use linux?
[04:22] <Jimmey> avidal, did you use the restricted driver manager?
[04:22] <yo2k> chihau: if that script look good in windows, i think, the problem come on your browser
[04:22] <redcard> shiester_miester: Because they don't need it.
[04:22] <avidal> Jimmey: Never heard of it.
[04:22] <shiester_miester> lack of advertising?
[04:22] <xtknight> mage__, my 'hwclock' reports 10:12 pm EST.  my ubuntu linux clock reports 10:16 pm EST.    time is supposed to be 10:21 pm EST :\
[04:22] <Jimmey> avidal, can you get X?
[04:22] <mage__> xtknight: its a file thats supposed to help with clock drift issues, ie if your clock loses 5mins per day, it should have info to add a second every few seconds
[04:22] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: because windows is good enough
[04:22] <chihau> yo2k: yes in windows its ok
[04:22] <yo2k> chihau: lynk is text...
[04:22] <avidal> Jimmey: I'm in X right now using XChat.  I can only get in using the "nv" driver.
[04:22] <r00723r0> if it wasn't good enough then people won't use it
[04:22] <p1ls> when i have 2 files, bin and cue which one shoud i writte
[04:22] <jmac532> can someone help?  I need to navigate to a usb drive named IOMAGIC and a file there named tiger-x85-flat.img
[04:22] <atlantis> all I have is the beryl settings manager no actual direct-link to app.
[04:22] <shiester_miester> so do you think theres any way to make linux "good enough"
[04:22] <AposteRiori> APRiORi thx for help with nick idea
[04:22] <bruenig> !iso | p1ls convert the bin to iso
[04:22] <ubotu> p1ls convert the bin to iso: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[04:22] <Jimmey> avidal, change the driver to "vesa", log in graphically, then "System > administrator > restricted drivers manager"
[04:23] <chihau> yo2k: but i have the same problem with any browser
[04:23] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: it is good enough
[04:23] <chihau> dont charge nothing
[04:23] <r00723r0> shiester_miester: but windows came first
[04:23] <avidal> Jimmey: I'm in graphically right now, I can check it :P
[04:23] <shiester_miester> i guess all you could do is get people to install linux before they get windows
[04:23] <APRi0Ri> aposteriori..anytime
[04:23] <yo2k> chihau: some browser...?
[04:23] <grum> would updating the kernel affect the installed display driver?
[04:23] <shiester_miester> then they wouldnt need to get windows in the first place
[04:23] <redcard> shiester_miester: Linux is good enough.  THat's not the issue.  You asked why people won't switch.  The answer is , there's no reason to.
[04:23] <APRi0Ri> Did you take a philosophy course or something?
[04:23] <mage__> xtknight: turn off ntpd, run ntpdate, hwclock --systohc
[04:23] <chihau> yo2k: firefox, galeon, konquqeror, epiphany
[04:24] <yo2k> chihau: that all ok?
[04:24] <shiester_miester> so is there any way to do it, at all? ever?
[04:24] <mage__> xtknight: delete /etc/adjtime again if it appears and restart ntpd and you should be fine
[04:24] <avidal> Jimmey: When I click on the Restritected Drivers manager I get this error:  Failed to run /usr/bin/restricted-manager as user root.  Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
[04:24] <shiester_miester> or is it completely physically impossible to make linux popular
[04:24] <Loco> hello, has ubuntu ext 2 or ext 3 filesystem?
[04:24] <chihau> yo2k: the same problem with all
[04:24] <atlantis> all I have is the beryl settings manager no actual direct-link to app.
[04:24] <shiester_miester> Loco, ext3 is supported
[04:24] <mage__> well delete /etc/adjtime again if it appears before you re enable ntpd
[04:24] <Jimmey> avidal, ahh! Wow!
[04:24] <redcard> shiester_miester: I think that it's mostly impossible with this current generation.
[04:24] <Jimmey> avidal, what did you do!? haha
[04:24] <xtknight> mage__, sweet.  thanks
[04:24] <bruenig> avidal, do you have .Xauthority in the home directory?
[04:24] <Nutubuntu> mage__ -  I'd like to see what your take is but will have to go in a bit ... will pastebin let you tell me where I'm potentially setting myself up for problems (if I am)?
[04:25] <chihau> yo2k: with wget its the same problem
[04:25] <shiester_miester> its probably something that will take a while
[04:25] <avidal> Jimmey: I have no idea :P  These problems started with the update to 7.04 tanking in mid-install.
[04:25] <mage__> Nutubuntu: seems fine
[04:25] <avidal> bruenig: Should it be in my users home directory?
[04:25] <bruenig> avidal, do ls -l ~/.Xauthority and paste output
[04:25] <Nutubuntu> mage__ -  *very* cool :) thank you!
[04:25] <shiester_miester> i mean, look at me...i was using windows, and then a friend of mine convinced me to switch to linux when i asked him "why use linux" and he replied "why use windows? :P"
[04:25] <yo2k> chihau: ???
[04:25] <avidal> hrm
[04:25] <Loco> shiester_miester, i have to format a partition for the ubuntu feisty but i dont know wheter to format like an ext 2 or ext 3 partition
[04:25] <mage__> Nutubuntu: i'm giving up on my take, as I keep thinking of things that make it complicated ;)
[04:25] <brucedes> I remembered the program, it's wicd
[04:25] <xtknight> mage__, how should my ntp.conf look?
[04:25] <avidal> bruenig, Jimmey: -rw------- 1 root root 49 2007-06-02 13:00 /home/alex/.Xauthority
[04:26] <maynards-girl> i'm trying to eject my cd but it says that drive is busy and wnot.  I don't have anything using it (that I know of).  I also tried "sudo umount /media/cdrom1/" but that didn't work.  How can I unmount it so I can eject the cd?
[04:26] <Nutubuntu> mage__ -  simplify, simplify ... complicated is how I got to what I'm fixing :)
[04:26] <yo2k> chihau: i make some appl in javascript+php, it's look ok in my browser...
[04:26] <shiester_miester> Loco, ext3 is the default partition so it must have some advantages over ext2
[04:26] <bruenig> avidal, sudo chown alex:alex ~/.Xauthority
[04:26] <Nutubuntu> Well, that and an aging HD that's starting to throw bad sectors...
[04:26] <bruenig> avidal, don't launch graphical programs with sudo anymore
[04:26] <yo2k> chihau: firefox/mozilla
[04:26] <avidal> bruenig: woops :P
[04:26] <chihau> yo2k: its not the browser becouse wget have the same problem
[04:26] <bruenig> avidal, lucky you caught this now, if you were to restart your computer in this state, you wouldn't have been able to log in
[04:26] <Loco> shiester_miester,  ok so i'll format it like ext 3, thanx
[04:27] <atlantis> Frustrating - How to enable Beryl, have no app link only settings manager - anyone have a step-by-step enabling
[04:27] <shiester_miester> if you wnt
[04:27] <shiester_miester> *want
[04:27] <avidal> Now what should I do?  You think that'll fix the problem?  Should I set my driver back to "nvidia" and then restart x?
[04:27] <Nutubuntu> Be well all - and thanks again
[04:27] <bruenig> avidal, it will allow you to launch that program, I don't know what you were trying to do to begin with
[04:27] <shiester_miester> im not sure what the differences between ext2 and ext3 are but it would be wise of you to research it
[04:27] <yo2k> chihau: i think wget is a downloader under text, not a browser
[04:27] <avidal> bruenig: I already can't.  I have to boot into the recovery console then type init 5, log in, then startx
[04:27] <mage__> heh
[04:27] <avidal> bruenig: roger
[04:27] <chihau> yo2k: yes i know
[04:27] <bruce_> avidal sorry just started paying attention whats the prob? im running the nvidia drivers and hanign no issues.
[04:27] <Jimmey> Nice catch, bruenig :-O
[04:27] <bruenig> avidal, oh, so now you can
[04:27] <mage__> Nutubuntu: pm me your email
[04:27] <grum> Can anyone please help me? I had the ati fglrx driver working previously. Updated my linux kernel today and now when i go to retricted drivers it says "your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[04:27] <chihau> yo2k: but not connect to
[04:27] <frutax> I'm running Feisty and I just bought a Logitech USB headset 350, but I am getting no sound. I think the device installed correctly because I can control the volume with the headset. I've also noticed that sometimes my laptop speakers have not had sound recently. What should I check on?
[04:27] <chihau> yo2k: but not connect too
[04:27] <mage__> just thought of how to do LVM with an eye for expansion
[04:28] <AposteRiori> grum I have the same problem :(
[04:28] <bruenig> avidal, make sure .ICEauthority has the same permissions
[04:28] <shiester_miester> frutax, is sound working in ubuntu at all?
[04:28] <yo2k> chihau: not connect? can you ping the ip web server?
[04:28] <grum> :/
[04:28] <Stoffer> top and my gnome system monitor are giving me conflicting information on RAM usage.  Top says around 7.2%, while the sys monitor says 30% (with another 40% in use as cache)  I have 1GB of Ram.  Is this normal?
[04:28] <avidal> bruenig: That particular problem has been happening since I first installed Ubuntu.  If I boot up normally, once I get to the login prompt, my computer will freeze up between 5 and 10 seconds.
[04:28] <TaJMoX> using fglrx how do I get custom resolution modes?  editing xorg.conf does nothing - and using aticonfig --resolution=(my modes) I get the error: "Error: Section # Expected"
[04:28] <atlantis> Just bought new computer thursday - shuttle 2gb crucial 320gb hitachi 256mb xfx pci-x 20-app-cinema fucker-flies
[04:28] <frutax> shiester_miester: yes through standard headphones, but the left channel goes out a lot
[04:28] <yo2k> Stoffer: normal...
[04:28] <Nutubuntu> mage__ -  ygm
[04:29] <sam_> No matter what I do alien cannot find the rom file to convert it
[04:29] <shiester_miester> so it works fine?
[04:29] <avidal> bruenig: .ICEauthority has same perms, but owned/grouped to my user instead of root.
[04:29] <shiester_miester> have you tried any other headphones other than the 2 already mentioned?
[04:29] <APRi0Ri> What's a good channel for SSL chatter??????
[04:29] <bruenig> avidal, right, your .Xauthority is now owned by your user too now
[04:29] <grum> do i need the latest kernel update .16 or should i just revert to .15 for working drivers?
[04:29] <atlantis> was using fedora7 now switched to ubuntu but it takes some adjusting
[04:29] <bruenig> now
[04:29] <avidal> Jimmey: I ran the restricted driver manager, and it said I don't need any restricted drivers
[04:29] <bruce_> atlantis. yeh its easier. heh
[04:29] <shiester_miester> frutax, to make sure its a hardware problem or software problem
[04:29] <redcard> grum: The updated kernel broke my stuff badly.
[04:29] <Jimmey> avidal, what does "lspci | grep nVidia" say?
[04:29] <redcard> grum: So.. I don't use it either
[04:29] <cheeseboy> how i add samba user?
[04:30] <Nutubuntu> And thanks again, all :)
[04:30] <yo2k> chihau: your web server is up?
[04:30] <frutax> shiester_miester: If i have headphones in through the standard headphone jack, it works fine but the right channel goes out a lot, but when i take out those headphones, no sound through the speaker, no sound through usb headphones
[04:30] <grum> mmkay
[04:30] <atlantis> Ubuntu rocks, if only I knew linux well enough to use Gentoo.... I would be in heaven (so I hear.)
[04:30] <avidal> Jimmey: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT]  (rev a2)
[04:30] <frutax> shiester_miester: how do i determine if it is a hardware or software problem in this case?
[04:30] <AposteRiori> have problem, ubuntu fesity, I was using ndiswrapper with rt73.in (wireless on usb), was working perfect, now after update, is not working (of course, I do update of modules etc)
[04:30] <Stoffer_> someone just responded to my RAM question, but my xchat immediately crashed.  Whoever it was, can you please repeat your reply?
[04:30] <redcard> atlantis: Eh.  Theres not really anything ultra cool about Gentoo, to be honest.
[04:30] <shiester_miester> frutax, you could try some different headphones that you know work perfectly and see if its the same problem
[04:30] <bruenig> atlantis, archlinux
[04:30] <bruce_> atlantis. gentoo is not that tough. really. if you follow the install guide. its pretty easy.
[04:31] <avidal> Jimmey: I'm gonna set the driver back to 'nvidia' and restart X.  I'll hand-write the error that I get this time.  The one about the nvidia.ko file
[04:31] <redcard> atlantis: But don't use the LiveCD for Gentoo.  It's bad.
[04:31] <bruce_> atlantis its gotten way more user friendly. its still way geeky but much better
[04:31] <Jimmey> avidal, Alright
[04:31] <AposteRiori> atlantiss if you want gentoo look for jackass instal version, good
[04:31] <grum> you'd think they'd test things before putting the newer kernel it the update downloader thing
[04:31] <benpete22> does any one know about a good .Ogg to .Mp3 converte
[04:31] <bulio> how do I change ownership of /dev/hda5 from root to a user?
[04:31] <atlantis> I paid 1200 for a new comp. and said no way to paying someone for inferior software.... I've always dabbeled in linux, now its my only os..... gonna take alittle getting used to but it seems to do most anything I want for free
[04:31] <bruenig> bulio, you don't want to do that
[04:31] <Jimmey> benpete22, lame
[04:32] <shiester_miester> frutax, you can also try putting a standard headphone jack adapter onto the usb dongle of the logitech headphones, if you feel like buying yet another piece of hardware
[04:32] <bulio> bruenig, its my storage partition
[04:32] <redcard> atlantis: Well, the only downside that I found for Gentoo was that the compiling was not worth it.
[04:32] <yo2k> bulio: chown bla bla bla
[04:32] <bruce_> atlantis ubuntu is your best bet to learn.
[04:32] <benpete22> ???
[04:32] <bulio> sudo chown /dev/hda5?
[04:32] <redcard> atlantis: Everything else was nice, but nothing that can't be done in Ubuntu
[04:32] <bruenig> bulio, where does it mount?
[04:32] <bruce_> atlantis i dont recomend gentoo till you at least know the basics and a bit more.
[04:32] <bruenig> bulio, what is the filesystem?
[04:32] <bulio> bruenig, ext3
[04:32] <bruenig> bulio, ok so where does it mount
[04:32] <redcard> atlantis: If you want to "learn linux", Slackware still is the best place to start.
[04:32] <bulio> bruenig, /media/hda5
[04:32] <yo2k> bulio: chown user /file
[04:32] <benpete22> jimmey ???
[04:33] <bruenig> bulio, your username?
[04:33] <bulio> bulio
[04:33] <bruce_> hey all. quick question. will i see better performance by running hdparm or does ubuntu (running fiesty) basically take care of all that?
[04:33] <atlantis> that's right.... I pay bills and download music/videos and use gaim/pidgin.... how come there's not a pidgin for ubuntu yer
[04:33] <Jimmey> benpete22, that's the name of the converter... "sudo apt-get install lame"
[04:33] <omegacenti> Okay, If I just put a removable dvdrom bay drive in my laptop while in linux, how would I find out what it is called and how to mount it?
[04:33] <bruce_> atlantis pidgin?
[04:33] <shiester_miester> whats pidgin? :/
[04:33] <bruenig> atlantis, there won't be for 4 more months because of the discrete release model
[04:33] <benpete22> t oh lol thx
[04:33] <bulio> bruenig, its bulio
[04:33] <atlantis> Vista looks cool.... my mac is cool, but not worth the exspense of apple prices....
[04:33] <Jimmey> bruce_, shiester_miester, - Gaim got renamed.
[04:33] <greyfrog> omegacenti, look at /var/log/syslog for changes
[04:33] <bruenig> bulio, sudo chown bulio:bulio -R /media/hda5
[04:33] <teer2> Thank you, Team Ubuntu!
[04:33] <shiester_miester> oh :o
[04:33] <bruce_> ahh. thanks jimmey
[04:33] <atlantis> gaim's - new name
[04:34] <shiester_miester> yeah itd be nice if they added more features to gaim to bring it up to the level of "windows live messenger"
[04:34] <frutax> shiester_miester: thanks ill try that out
[04:34] <bruce_> anyone know why ubuntu is still using swap when ihave 4 gig ram?
[04:34] <atlantis> discrete release model ?!? - what is that about
[04:34] <shiester_miester> i still have yet to find a msn chat client that has as many features as messenger live
[04:34] <shiester_miester> atlantis, that means that they have a major release every now and again
[04:35] <yo2k> bruce_: all linux use that..., like windows
[04:35] <bruce_> hdparm ques? anyone know?
[04:35] <Stoffer> yo2k, why does the gnome system manager tell me different numbers than 'top'?
[04:35] <bulio> bruenig, thanks
[04:35] <omegacenti> greyfrog: last event happened 15 minutes ago, just plugged it in
[04:35] <bruce_> yo2k yeh ok. just curious.
[04:35] <AposteRiori> bruce_ because you using swapon?
[04:35] <Stoffer> yo2k, system monitor*
[04:35] <redcard> It might show up in backports, but the Pidgin release doesn't really have more than Feisty's GAIM release
[04:35] <bulio> bruenig, so now I can read and write to it?
[04:35] <bruce_> AposteRiori can i turn it off? i mean do i really need swap at this point?
[04:35] <omegacenti> Okay, If I just put a removable dvdrom bay drive in my laptop while in linux, how would I find out what it is called and how to mount it?
[04:35] <yo2k> Stoffer: that appl use a different way ...
[04:35] <atlantis> I just wipped out fedora 7 and that had it named as pidgin w/ updated ver. obviously. and then ubuntu release a month earlier with gaim.... kinda diassapointed not too much though.
[04:35] <bruenig> bulio, you own every file on it, I don't know how you have set your permissions from there
[04:36] <bulio> ok
[04:36] <AposteRiori> bruce_ just swapoff
[04:36] <greyfrog> omegacenti, try lspci?
[04:36] <atlantis> it all works the same .... I guess.
[04:36] <omegacenti> greyfrog: Ill try that.
[04:36] <bruce_> aposteriori in a term window? thats it?
[04:36] <AposteRiori> bruce end delete from fstab
[04:36] <AposteRiori> bruce_yes
[04:36] <bruce_> nice. hey thanks mucho aposteriori. i wont have any issues will i?
[04:36] <redcard> atlantis: If you absolutely need it, you can compile it from source, but the reason it isn't in Ubuntu is because Ubuntu froze before the Pidgin team settled their lawsuits
[04:36] <omegacenti> greyfrog: not there :)
[04:37] <Stoffer> yo2k, ok, so I should trust the gnome system monitor when it tells me that 70% of my RAM is being used?
[04:37] <atlantis> What is this from: "Forget it "Angel" You're Dreaming- you're one of us. One of us.
[04:37] <wobx> re
[04:37] <AposteRiori> bruce_ no I have 3gb ram i work fine
[04:37] <greyfrog> omegacenti, not sure then... keep asking I guess.
[04:37] <atlantis> whats up with the lawsuits didn't hear anything about it
[04:37] <bruce_> what flags do i use with swapoff aposteriori
[04:37] <omegacenti> Okay, If I just put a removable dvdrom bay drive in my laptop while in linux, how would I find out what it is called and how to mount it?
[04:37] <atlantis> thought they got bought out or something
[04:37] <omegacenti> thanks though greyfrog :)
[04:37] <wobx> can anyone tell me why there's a chroot line in the PS1 variable? echo $PS1 ${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$
[04:37] <redcard> atlantis: Basically it had to do with calling it GAIM.  So that's why they changed the name
[04:37] <yo2k> Stoffer: i prefer use top than another...
[04:38] <AposteRiori> bruce sudo swapoff for example /dev/hda2
[04:38] <redcard> atlantis: It never got to a lawsuit phase.. just the Cease and desists
[04:38] <atlantis> as opposed to what - : AIM - to close in similarity
[04:38] <bruce_> sweet. this should help. thanks aposteriori
[04:38] <jose> Hey there - I've just enabled my TV-out and would like to figure out how to launch Totem/Mplayer, using the "-display" parameter, to play on my TV. Can anyone help me?
[04:38] <bruenig> wobx, source the /etc/profile and echo that variabl
[04:38] <AposteRiori> bruce check it by mount -f where you have swap
[04:38] <avidal> Okay.
[04:38] <bruce_> aposteriori just used the -a switch. worked like a dream
[04:39] <redcard> atlantis: Yeah.
[04:39] <grum> how do i run a .sh script in a terminal window
[04:39] <AposteRiori> bruce yes indeed
[04:39] <derekS> grum: sh scriptname.sh
[04:39] <grum> thx
[04:39] <derekS> np
[04:39] <atlantis> I missed that whole phase with lawsuites - must have been using mac/i-chat
[04:39] <bruenig> grum, or chmod +x it and then type the path
[04:39] <avidal> Jimmey: The error was: /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko  file does not exist.
[04:39] <shiester_miester> lawsuits? who?
[04:39] <bruce_> anyone have an idea about my hdparm question?
[04:39] <avidal> Jimmey: I looked in that dir and found nvidia-new.ko, so I renamed it to nvidia.ko
[04:39] <wobx> bruenig: same output - what does it say at your pc? # set |grep PS1
[04:39] <redcard> atlantis: Calling yourself GTK Aol Instant Messenger does tend to get you in AOL's targets
[04:39] <AposteRiori> bruce but mount -f show you what is mount where ;)
[04:39] <bruenig> wobx, I am not using ubuntu
[04:40] <Jimmey> avidal, success?
[04:40] <wobx> bruenig: debian?
[04:40] <redcard> shiester_miester: The Pidgin/GAIM crew
[04:40] <bruce_> aposteriori right.
[04:40] <bruenig> wobx, no I mean to source it and echo the $debian_chroot thing
[04:40] <atlantis> fuck* aol there so downhill surprised they haven't went bankrupt.
[04:40] <shiester_miester> redcard, who did they sue?
[04:40] <avidal> Jimmey: Then, I got an error saying there was an API mismatch.
[04:40] <omegacenti> I just plugged in my cdrom drive and its not showing up. Can anyone help detect/locate/mount it?
[04:40] <bruenig> !offtopic | atlantis
[04:40] <ubotu> atlantis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:40] <bruenig> !ohmy | atlantis
[04:40] <ubotu> atlantis: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:40] <wobx> bruenig: yes i already did same output
[04:40] <yo2k> Jimmey: why a can't compile an appl? can bot find stdlib.c why?
[04:40] <Lapinux> can anyone tell me how i go about changing permissions on a disk that has been mounted?  i tried running "gksudo nautilus" but then i dont see the volume in "computer:///"
[04:40] <redcard> shiester_miester: AOL threatened on multiple times to sue the GAIM/Pidgin people
[04:40] <bruenig> wobx, how could it be the same output
[04:40] <shiester_miester> why?
[04:40] <bruenig> wobx, the same output as what, as P1
[04:40] <bruenig> ?
[04:40] <redcard> shiester_miester: Trademark violations
[04:40] <avidal> Jimmey: Hrm, restricted driver manager popped up and told me to enable something and then restart.  I'll be right back again..
[04:41] <AposteRiori> Lapinux chmod (and magic seven) 777 directory
[04:41] <atlantis> Oops. My bad... forgot - trucker-mouth
[04:41] <bruenig> redcard, well aim, gaim, come on now
[04:41] <yo2k> Jimmey: some lib header *.c like to...
[04:41] <scoobydoo28139> hello i got rid of my ati tv card and got a hauppauge! can some one help me set it up in ubuntu?
[04:41] <shiester_miester> anyway im off, cya
[04:41] <grum> You are either not running this script from the console or simply do not have console ownership.  Requirement failed.
[04:41] <Jimmey> yo2k, to compile software, you need to install build-essential
[04:41] <jose> Can anyone help me get video to run on nvidia tv-out?
[04:41] <redcard> bruenig: Well, I agree :) It's kinda obvious to me ;)
[04:41] <wobx> bruenig: source does only reparse profile and reapply the variables..so the output of PS1 is the same as before doing source...
[04:41] <bruenig> grum, run it from the console
[04:41] <grum> in a terminal window?
[04:41] <bruenig> wobx, no, source it and echo $debian_chroot
[04:41] <bruenig> or whatever it is
[04:41] <Peps_> my laptop speedstep always kicks both cpus into high freq even when running just one task. is there a way to avoid that (i.e. keep one core sow and the other fast)?
[04:41] <omegacenti> I just plugged in my cdrom drive and its not showing up. Can anyone help detect/locate/mount it?
[04:42] <atlantis> ati is a sell-out I was very committed to them, heard they sold-out/merged.... went with the enemy nvidia
[04:42] <yo2k> Jimmey: i get an *.tar.gz, than i make, ... can't file like stdlib.c etc...
[04:42] <wobx> bruenig: now i got it wait a sec
[04:42] <redcard> bruenig: When I switched to it from the stuff I was using before (personally written stuff for myself) , I thought that it was an official client
[04:42] <bulio> I keep trying to use gparted to umount a partition so I can resize it, but i keeps saying the device is busy
[04:42] <wobx> bruenig: empty
[04:42] <bulio> how can I fix this?
[04:42] <atlantis> XFX 256 PCI-X
[04:42] <yo2k> Jimmey: so failed to make install... why?
[04:42] <SeanB> Can someone help me? I am using initramfs to mount my ubuntu partition so I can edit a configuration file.. I am not sure what syntax I should use for mount to make it read/write. Any ideas?
[04:42] <bruenig> wobx, that is weird
[04:42] <witless> is it possible to install ubuntu to boot off a USB flash memory stick, and put the root partition on software raid?
[04:42] <wobx> bruenig: but strange anyhow
[04:42] <bruenig> I guess I assumed it would be empty, but why would it be in there
[04:42] <Jimmey> yo2k, did you install build-essential?
[04:42] <omegacenti> nm Ill just reboot...
[04:42] <grum> bruenig: i was running it from a terminal window
[04:42] <cjae_> fsck 1.40-WIP fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve `UUID= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx` fsck died with exit status 8
[04:42] <avidal> Jimmey: Okay, the actual API mismatch was that the Nvidia driver used the API version 1.0-9755, but the X module used API version 1.0-9631
[04:43] <infamy> dumb question, is there any way to see like the button press on a joystick in ubuntu?
[04:43] <artabrahao> anyone knows how to compact a directory, folders and subdirectory in on file compact.gz?
[04:43] <wobx> bruenig: well would be even weirder if it was set
[04:43] <atlantis> peace-out too-drunk to type anymore..... later ya'll michigan weather is too humid tonight
[04:43] <r00723r0> artabrahao: can't do it
[04:43] <grum> oh console as in log out of x?
[04:43] <r00723r0> artabrahao: you need to first tar it
[04:43] <bruenig> wobx, maybe if you chroot into something, it sets a debian_chroot variable and so you actually see the top of your directory as root instead of as whatever subdirectory you are actually in
[04:43] <infamy> aka like the windows game pad tool
[04:43] <avidal> Jimmey: hrm, still getting a system restart notification.  i'm going to restart and see.
[04:43] <yo2k> Jimmey: build-essntial? how i do install ?
[04:43] <r00723r0> artabrahao: try tar -czf <targzfile> files
[04:43] <SeanB> Can someone help me? I am using initramfs to mount my ubuntu partition so I can edit a configuration file.. I am not sure what syntax I should use for mount to make it read/write. Any ideas?
[04:43] <Siridivi> Hello folks. My PHP doesn't work. Apache ignores the code.
[04:43] <Jimmey> yo2k, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:43] <artabrahao> > artabrahao: try tar -czf <targzfile> files
[04:43] <artabrahao> <
[04:43] <artabrahao> > artabrahao: try tar -czf <targzfile> files
[04:43] <artabrahao> <
[04:43] <yo2k> Jimmey: sorry i new in ubuntu...
[04:43] <artabrahao> thanks
[04:43] <r00723r0> artabrahao: you're kidding?>
[04:43] <Peps_> my laptop speedstep always kicks both cpus into high freq even when running just one task. is there a way to avoid that (i.e. keep one core sow and the other fast)?
[04:44] <r00723r0> oh ok
[04:44] <r00723r0> sorry
[04:44] <yo2k> jumanji:ok... i tri that. thank's...
[04:44] <wobx> bruenig: i know what a chroot is..
[04:44] <Siridivi> Worked when I first installed id, but when I do test pages, no go.
[04:44] <TaJMoX> Using ATI - how do i set custom resolutions?  using aticonfig --resolution=(modes)   gives me error "Error: Section # expected"
[04:44] <bruenig> wobx, right, maybe for some odd reason, when you chroot into something, it sets that variable and so instead of seeing /var/chroot assuming that is where you have setup the chroot, you just see /
[04:44] <Lapinux> AposteRiori, I'm not sure I know how to go about that exactly....
[04:44] <wobx> please anyone who's got ubuntu paste me an output of # echo $PS1
[04:44] <yo2k> Jimmey:ok... i tri that. thank's...
[04:44] <redcard> Oooh.. I don't have Wesnoth on this box yet.
[04:44] <greyfrog> Siridivi, did you install mod_php?
[04:45] <r00723r0> $
[04:45] <r00723r0> wobx: ^^
[04:45] <bruenig> that is what probably happens
[04:45] <infamy> so no one has a clue?
[04:45] <Siridivi> Where it points to the php.ini? Yes did that.
[04:45] <infamy> how to access a joystick information from linux?
[04:45] <cjae_> fsck 1.40-WIP fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve `UUID= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx` fsck died with exit status 8
[04:45] <SeanB> Can someone help me? I am using initramfs to mount my ubuntu partition so I can edit a configuration file.. I am not sure what syntax I should use for mount to make it read/write. Any ideas?
[04:45] <wobx> bruenig: hm could be..could look at gentoo's profile. must be similar as you also source profile after chroot
[04:45] <bruenig> SeanB, -o rw
[04:45] <Siridivi> greyfrog: Where it points to the php.ini? Yes did that.
[04:46] <AposteRiori> Lapinux You have few options, you can go to gksu nautilus, go to properties, and set permission
[04:46] <greyfrog> Siridivi, not sure then... checking to make sure it wasn't something simple ;)
[04:46] <bruenig> wobx, my ps1 is [\u@\h \W] \$
[04:46] <yo2k> Siridivi: maybe on apache.conf / httpd.conf, not in php.ini i think
[04:46] <Siridivi> greyfrog: yeah, that woud be nice.
[04:46] <Siridivi> Hmm.
[04:46] <AposteRiori> Lapinux or you can edit fstab and put options user, rw to path of mounting disk
[04:46] <yo2k> thank's guys... bye...
[04:47] <jose> Does anyone here have any experience with getting video to play on nvidia tv-out?
[04:47] <wobx> bruenig: what distro?
[04:47] <AposteRiori> Lapinux last (in my knowledge) is go (by terminal) to example /media
[04:47] <bruenig> wobx, arch, it was the same in zenwalk too
[04:47] <Peps_> my laptop speedstep always kicks both cpus into high freq even when running just one task. is there a way to avoid that (i.e. keep one core sow and the other fast)?
[04:47] <Lapinux> AposteRiori, i tried gksudo nautilus but then i dont see the volume in "computer:///" like i do when i launch natilus normally
[04:47] <redcard> I've heard good things about Arch
[04:47] <ubunt1> hey
[04:48] <ubunt1> how can i make total backup on ubuntu server
[04:48] <ubunt1> and put on directory
[04:48] <AposteRiori> Lapinux you going to mount point example /media/my_disk
[04:48] <rabiddachshund> do I really need syslinux to create a bootable flashdrive?
[04:48] <infamy> is there anyone that can point in the right direction?!
[04:48] <AposteRiori> Lapinux if you are not sure where - mount -f in terminal
[04:48] <r00723r0> how do i clean out unneeded dependencies from ubuntu?
[04:48] <r00723r0> kinda like --depclean in portage
[04:49] <bruenig> r00723r0, sudo apt-get autoremove
[04:49] <AposteRiori> apt-get autoremove
[04:49] <asdfddfsa> Hey guys, what would be the linux equivalent of 'fixmbr'? Would installing Grub help?
[04:49] <r00723r0> nice thanks
[04:49] <redcard> r00723r0: like they said.. autoremove..
[04:49] <redcard> r00723r0: But it will tell you when you need to do it
[04:49] <r00723r0> hehe ok
[04:49] <AposteRiori> asdfddfsa is one option but very dangerous
Super Grub Disc?
[04:50] <Lapinux> AposteRiori, its mounted at /media/disk, so i assume i change permissions on that dir
[04:50] <wobx> r00723r0: what distro?
[04:51] <AposteRiori> Lapinux yes
[04:51] <asdfddfsa> AposteRiori, what would be the best way to wipe the MBR.. all data on the drive can be erased without worry
[04:51] <rabiddachshund> aren't flashdrives bootable by default?
[04:51] <AlexSeif> Hi I need help with firehol
[04:51] <r00723r0> wobx, ubuntu, used to be gentoo
[04:51] <redcard> asdfddfsa: I'd use whatever OS you're going into next :)
[04:52] <tyler_d> anyone have any luck with tv out with nvidia 8800 and the proprietary drivers?
[04:52] <jose> Can anyone here help me get video to run under nvidia tv-out?
[04:52] <wobx> r00723r0: which flavor? breezy, edgy or feisty?
[04:52] <r00723r0> feisty
[04:52] <tyler_d> feisty fawn
[04:52] <frutax> is there some sort of driver i need to install in ubuntu for usb headphones to work or should they just work when i plug them in?
[04:52] <AposteRiori> asdfddfsa dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/(letter example hda) bs=32k count=1, it absolutely cleaning mbr
[04:52] <asdfddfsa> redcard, windows is useless, I can't boot into windows to use fixmbr because of the mbr itself
[04:52] <ubunt1> hey how can i backup ubuntu server total
[04:52] <Lapinux> AposteRiori, ok, it will let me read and write to that drive now, any idea how i change the name of that volume under computer:/// ?
[04:52] <ubunt1> and save in directory
[04:52] <ubunt1> tonyyarusso:
[04:53] <redcard> asdfddfsa: Right, but you can use a recovery CD
[04:53] <ubunt1> somehoere
[04:53] <AposteRiori> Lapinux coputer:/// is just link
[04:53] <ubunt1> AfterDeath: are you here
[04:53] <p1ls> HEY, i need fast help, im installing a game now, and it says inster cd 2, but i cannot eject the cd 1 dosent allow me, what should i do, im using wine
[04:53] <teer2> cron: recommended to run with Ubuntu?
[04:53] <ubunt1> teer2: ?
[04:53] <redcard> pils: What game?
[04:53] <Lapinux> AposteRiori, right, and under that i see the volume, i want to change how its named under that but it tells me i dont have permission
[04:53] <jose> ubunt1: tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys  --exclude=/media  /
[04:53] <p1ls> swat 4
[04:54] <ubunt1> jose but total backup man
[04:54] <teer2> any problems running cron with ubuntu?
[04:54] <MugginsM> you should be able to eject the CD from Linux
[04:54] <jose> ubunt1 yeah
[04:54] <p1ls> it says
[04:54] <ubunt1> jose man and apache 2.php and mysql too?
[04:54] <jose> ubunt1 it's total
[04:54] <p1ls> filed to eject
[04:54] <AposteRiori> Lapinux it'is impossible on runing mount
[04:54] <ubunt1> jose and apache?
[04:54] <p1ls> but i have to put the cd2 so i can install it....
[04:54] <jose> ubunt1 It's everything, save for those directories it says to --exclude
[04:55] <ubunt1> that you send me,where it save it?
[04:55] <jose> ubunt1 It backups everything on your main drive to backup.tgz - which ends up on the root of your drive
[04:55] <p1ls> any ideas
[04:55] <teethdood> what app can I use to open .img files?
[04:55] <jose> ubunt1 so - just put a path in front of backup.tgz
[04:55] <Wesley> i stalk women online
[04:55] <ubunt1> ok and then,how to restore for example only the apache directory
[04:55] <Wesley> i kidnap them and put them in cages
[04:55] <redcard> pils: The copy protection doesn't work on Wine.. but.. you should be able to unmount the cd by doing a sudo umount /media/cdrom
[04:56] <tritium> Wesley: warning
[04:56] <redcard> pils: Or whatever the CD Rom drive is
[04:56] <AposteRiori> Lapinux do sudo umount /dev/(letter), mkdir /media/(your choice) , and mount /dev/(letter) /media/(your choice)
[04:56] <ubunt1> i copy and paste and it start to do it.
[04:56] <Wesley> i mutilate their bodies to make them look like twisted pets while raping them forcing them to become my sex slaves
[04:56] <ThePioneer> Can anyone tel me how to start beryl?
[04:56] <ubunt1> jose are you here
[04:57] <avidal> finally fixed it.
[04:57] <jose> ubunt1 Is it OK that it backs-up to the root directory of your drive?
[04:57] <Lapinux> AposteRiori, right, i understand that i can have it mount where ever i want but is there a way to rename the shortcut under computer:/// that points to the mount point
[04:57] <avidal> Jimmey: I had to do this:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new, then set my driver to "nvidia"
[04:57] <Jimmey> avidal, congrats :-)
[04:57] <ubunt1> jose and then how to restore for if something happend apache directory
[04:57] <spikeb> -new?
[04:57] <Geocritter> has anybody had one of the feisty updates hose their mbr?
[04:57] <jose> ubunt1 ah - hold on
[04:57] <spikeb> what is that?
[04:57] <ubunt1> jose ok man./
[04:58] <avidal> Jimmey: Still having an odd ass problem where I can't boot up without using the recovery console though :\
[04:58] <p1ls> umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
[04:58] <p1ls> umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
[04:58] <p1ls> ;-/
[04:58] <lostchild> Hello everyone!
[04:58] <teethdood> what app can I use to extract .img files?
[04:58] <Lapinux> AposteRiori, im trying to set up a nice clean, easy to understand list of shortcuts under computer:/// that will point to all my mount points so users dont have to browse to the dir's and can just use computer:///
[04:58] <Jimmey> avidal, try "sudo chown -R username:username /home/username" - replace with your username though, obviously.
[04:59] <Jimmey> avidal, glad to hear it's fixed..And on that note, I'll go to bed!
[04:59] <jose> ubunt1 tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C /
[04:59] <ubunt1> jose only the apache?
[04:59] <AposteRiori> Lapinux do you use windows? remember shortcut, ?
[04:59] <jose> ubunt1 Here's the page where I got everything: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[04:59] <spikeb> computer:/// will automatically show anything in the fstab
[04:59] <p1ls> whoever helped me, will cedega help?
[04:59] <jose> ubunt1 Actually, it backs up your entire system
[04:59] <ubunt1> jose can i pm you
[04:59] <jose> ubunt1 sure
[04:59] <Jimmey> Night folks
[04:59] <lostchild> Night
[04:59] <Lapinux> spikeb, are you speaking to me?
[05:00] <ubunt1> jose i'm not registered
[05:00] <spikeb> Lapinux: if it applies to you yeah
[05:00] <jose> ubunt1 hmm... I was not aware registration was required
[05:00] <ubunt1> jose ok do you receive what i write
[05:00] <Lapinux> spikeb, but under computer:/// its referred to somthing like 149 gb volume: disk, i would like to call it something more understandable....
[05:01] <spikeb> \ahh
[05:01] <Lapinux> i know what it is, but others dont
[05:01] <ubunt1> jose ?
[05:01] <lostchild> I cannot log into my Ubuntu server, it simply kicks me back to login
[05:01] <jose> ubunt1 nope
[05:01] <AposteRiori> Lapinux edit your fstab
[05:01] <jose> ubunt1 nothing
[05:01] <lostchild> Anyone have any ideas?
[05:01] <ubunt1> jose can you pm me
[05:01] <jose> ubunt1 just did
[05:01] <OzymandiasIV> quick question: which version of ubuntu should i download for PowerPC mac?
[05:01] <ubunt1> jose i didn't receive nothing
[05:02] <jose> ubunt1 ah well
[05:02] <avidal> erg
[05:02] <p1ls> can any one help me, i cant eject a cd ( installing swat4 using wine ) but i have to to change the cd's
[05:02] <ubunt1> jose enter in #ubuntuserver
[05:02] <spikeb> !powerpc
[05:02] <ubotu> PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[05:02] <avidal> This Python IDE doesn't come with a manual.  You have to make a donation to get access to the manual
[05:02] <lostchild> I should be more clear I cannot login with a specific user.
[05:02] <spikeb> !powerpc > OzymandiasIV
[05:02] <AposteRiori> Lapinux you eventually must do restart to apply changes ;)
[05:02] <wobx> no one who can help me with my strange PS1 variable setting?
[05:02] <avidal> afk
[05:02] <Lapinux> AposteRiori, yes, im looking at fstab now, dont see anything about that drive yet
[05:03] <wobx> i have edgy updated from breezy
[05:03] <AposteRiori> Lapinux go to /etc/fstab
[05:03] <cinvoke> is there a debug program like the old dos debug program for ubuntu????
[05:03] <Lapinux> AposteRiori, im there, looking at it now
[05:03] <wobx> and PS1 is set that way in .bashrc
[05:03] <OzymandiasIV> thanks spikeb
[05:03] <spikeb> OzymandiasIV: you bet.
[05:04] <AposteRiori> wobx can You give  more details
[05:04] <AfterDeath> ubunt1: yes
[05:04] <wobx> AposteRiori: can we do that in /query?
[05:04] <AposteRiori> wobx sure
[05:04] <wobx> kk
[05:05] <lostchild> I could really use a bit of help, or at least a sounding board to make sure I've covered all my bases.
[05:05] <jose> Can anyone help me to get video playing on my nvidia tv-out?
[05:06] <lawncare> hey guys, anyone know of a program for viewing webcams?
[05:06] <DBLobster> =-O
[05:06] <cinvoke> is there a debug program like the old dos debug program for ubuntu????
[05:06] <rabiddachshund> Has anyone actually used syslinux?
[05:06] <bruenig> cinvoke, which does what
[05:06] <AlexSeif> can anybody here help me setup a firewall
[05:06] <AlexSeif> ?
[05:06] <sotec_prod> what's up with Fiesty's kernel updates lately? Seems every other week there's a higher version
[05:07] <bruenig> !firewall | AlexSeif
[05:07] <ubotu> AlexSeif: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[05:07] <p1ls> anyone ever played SWAT 4 on linux?
[05:07] <lostchild> Does anyone have any experence with ISPConfig?
[05:07] <sotec_prod> p1ls, I have SWAT3 and it got it installed using WINE, but it ran slow as hell.
[05:07] <cinvoke> bruenig :  lets u look at and modify the registers
[05:07] <p1ls> stoced_prod, on how many cds was the swat3
[05:08] <sotec_prod> 2
[05:08] <p1ls> how did you got to install the second one
[05:08] <sotec_prod> i have Game of the Year edition
[05:08] <p1ls> it tells me to put second  one
[05:08] <p1ls> but i cant eject the first one;-/
[05:08] <shijirou> sotec_prod: if you have beryl running turn that off before you run SWAT3
[05:08] <sotec_prod> p1ls, you have to end it somehow and then install the second disk
[05:08] <rabiddachshund> I need help making a bootable floppy
[05:08] <p1ls> ;-/
[05:08] <cinvoke> does anyone know of a program i can use to view the registers similar to the dos debugger?
[05:08] <p1ls> any ideas what i supposse to look for
[05:09] <sotec_prod> shijirou, i did that. didn't help the turtleyness of it
[05:09] <MugginsM> make sure you don't have a shell in the CD folder
[05:09] <MugginsM> because that'll stop it ejecting
[05:09] <shijirou> sotec_prod: wierd... used to have the same problems when I installed halo for the pc. when i turned off beryl everything went smooth as silk. what's your video card?
[05:09] <producemench> anybody using BRLCAD on edgy? I need help getting it to run.
[05:10] <sotec_prod> p1ls, if you use Crossover Office (i'm aware you have to pay for it, but there is a demo) it's MUCH easier to install multi-disk programs/games. there is an 'installation finished' button. easy.
[05:10] <Moniker42> hey, how do i mount an external hard drive?
[05:10] <p1ls> ill check it
[05:10] <sotec_prod> shijirou...hmmm, i'll have to try it again then. i miss that game
[05:10] <p1ls> but if that wont work
[05:10] <jose> OzymandiasIV Long live The Watchmen!
[05:10] <sotec_prod> Crossover is a much friendlier front end to WINE
[05:10] <p1ls> do you think i shpuld install it on windows and latr just play it?
[05:11] <rabiddachshund> are there any other linux support channels?
[05:11] <sotec_prod> p1ls, i'm sure there is some easy to access documentation for WINE that will instruct you on exactly how to do such a thing.
[05:11] <p1ls> i chceck wine page, it says
[05:11] <p1ls> ITS NOT INSTALLABLE, and wont run.. wired.
[05:11] <jose> sotec_prod Yes, but sadly, Crossover started out with an old version of Wine - so its compatibility, past its core apps, is lower than wine's
[05:12] <p1ls> jose, you play swat?
[05:12] <Moniker42> how do i mount an external hard drive?
[05:12] <jose> p1ls Afraid not.
[05:13] <sotec_prod> i'm still waiting for VMWare to integrate 3d acceleration so i can just play games on my virtual drive :)
[05:13] <jose> sotec_prod That would be the BEST
[05:13] <sotec_prod> indeed.
[05:13] <sotec_prod> jose, do you have sound in vmware server?
[05:13] <MugginsM> best would be actual Linux games :-/
[05:13] <slackmagic> Moniker42: usually you create a folder (mount point), then mount the drive via the mount command to that mount point - hoping that your external drive is USB, ubuntu should easily automount it though as soon as it's plugged in and turned on
[05:13] <Runinfear> hi, i need irc client in console
[05:14] <jose> sotec_prod yes, though I use virtualbox nowadays
[05:14] <p1ls> lol ... http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxoffice/
[05:14] <sotec_prod> i would rather play linux games in linux
[05:14] <naknomik> I changed my video card, and now X won't start, I tried dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server, but there's no xorg-server installed... what am I doing wrong?
[05:14] <sotec_prod> virtualbox better?
[05:14] <rabiddachshund> If I just copy the contents of a live cd to a flash drive, would it boot from that?
[05:14] <jose> sotec_prod I think so
[05:14] <sotec_prod> nice
[05:14] <slackmagic> Runinfear: take a look at irssi or BitchX (google for them)
[05:14] <non|linear> can anyone advise me on the fastest way to access/process files from virtulized xp?
[05:14] <sotec_prod> i checked out all the virtualization programs like that, but for some reason ended up with vmware
[05:14] <jose> sotec_prod Faster, easier to set up, more user-friendly.
[05:14] <sotec_prod> nice
[05:14] <sotec_prod> i'll try it agai
[05:15] <sotec_prod> i have plenty of hd space
[05:15] <Moniker42> slackmagic: where do i make the mountpoint?
[05:15] <Moniker42> can it be anywhere?
[05:15] <slackmagic> non|linear: virtualized as in vmware?
[05:15] <slackmagic> Moniker42: you create it through cli    mkdir /mnt/whateverfolder   or   /media/whateverfoldername
[05:15] <jose> err I mean

[05:16] <master5o1> Hallo
[05:16] <p1ls> do you guys think i wouldnt have troble with cedega?
[05:16] <non|linear> slackmagic: sure, or virtualbox or crossover or parallels, only tried virtual box seamless, but it's so slow to open 'networked' drives
[05:16] <master5o1> VMware
[05:16] <jose> non|linear really?
[05:16] <sotec_prod> p1ls, i hear cedega is really nice....but it costs money. And isn't that the reason we all have linux? to avoid reaching into our wallets/purses?
[05:16] <sotec_prod> :D
[05:16] <jose> non|linear That's likely a unique problem, as mine open up fine.
[05:17] <non|linear> jose: yea, it takes like 15 seconds to display network folder contents
[05:17] <p1ls> sotec_prod, look
[05:17] <p1ls> sotec_prod, look http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=4267
[05:17] <jose> non|linear And none of the other VM programs take that long?
[05:17] <p1ls> wired
[05:17] <slackmagic> non|linear: yes it should be no problem, I for example transfer my files via ssh (winscp) from vmware winxp to my slackware gnu/linux distro
[05:17] <non|linear> jose: really?  these drives are vfat, corrently shared between dual xp/ubuntu... would ext3 be faster?
[05:18] <sotec_prod> p1ls, garbage in feisty, huh?
[05:18] <non|linear> i want to get rid of xp completely, but require msoffice and sigmaplot and corel for work
[05:18] <sotec_prod> oh well
[05:18] <jose> non|linear I'm doubtful as to whether it's the file-system that's holding you back - I'm thinking your VM networking might be off somehow.
[05:18] <non|linear> hrm
[05:18] <p1ls> ...
[05:18] <naknomik> I changed my video card, and now X won't start, I tried dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server, but there's no xorg-server installed... what am I doing wrong?
[05:18] <p1ls> dont tell me ill have to play swat on WINDOWS?
[05:18] <slackmagic> sotec_prod: I see reaching into our wallets as supporting those that develop well-coded software, if I have to spend money that is :D
[05:18] <sotec_prod> naknomik, use channel ubuntu-effects for that question. they will help you
[05:18] <sotec_prod> :)
[05:19] <jose> p1ls: Swat doesn't work in cedega or wine?
[05:19] <naknomik> sotec_prod: what's ubuntu effects?
[05:19] <p1ls> im just reading, dosent in cedega
[05:19] <p1ls> wine, dosent let me instert 2nd cd
[05:19] <sotec_prod> slackmagic, i don't disagree with that statement.  I have a vista machine that is not payed off. I managed to get the live cd that I ordered from ubuntu to boot once, but I forgot to back up my files. I loaded windows, backed up my files and now it won't boot from disk no matter what I do. It won't even read the disk. This means I am forced to bo
[05:21] <sotec_prod> GPabel, welcome
[05:22] <Dr_willis> p1ls,  you can simply mount iso image files. No need for fancy tools like that.
[05:22] <Dr_willis> !iso
[05:22] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[05:22] <jose> non-linear I'll check
[05:22] <mrynit> does anyone know of a good program that will sync podcats to an iPod and manage RSS feeds?
[05:22] <sotec_prod> rabidweinerdog, what is your question again?
[05:22] <jose> non-linear Yeah, it's instant
[05:23] <non|linear> rabiddachshund: have you tried super grub disk?
[05:23] <p1ls> Dr_wills, i have a problem with installing swat 4 with wine, the thing is it asks me for a second cd, but i cant eject the first one dosent allow me ( also unmount dosent work )
[05:23] <rabiddachshund> I have copied the contents of the feisty cd to a 1gb flash drive. will it boot?
[05:23] <jose> non-linear But, to be fair, they're all localhost shares
[05:23] <non|linear> jose: ok, maybe I need to play with my network settings, although I don't see why that would matter....
[05:23] <rabiddachshund> nonlinearno. where can i get that
[05:23] <Dr_willis> p1ls,  often ive copied the contents of ALL the cd's to a single dir and ran the installer from there.
[05:23] <sotec_prod> rabid, should. only i think you need usb support through the motherboard to boot like that
[05:23] <Frogzoo_> rabiddachshund: if you're don't want linux, on the drive, you need to restore the windows MBR - google is your friend
[05:23] <Dr_willis> p1ls,  having to swap out install cd's has always been a bit of a problem.
[05:23] <p1ls> so your saying, i should copy two cds, and run em from a dicectory?
[05:24] <non|linear> rabiddachshund: goolgle it, it's major common.  it will fix basically any boot prob you have, except physical damafe
[05:24] <Dr_willis> p1ls,  ive copied the contents of some games  on multi-cd's to a single dir. and installed them from there befor.. correct.
[05:24] <non|linear> damage*
[05:24] <p1ls> dr_wills, got ya, im downloaidng some patch maybe it will help, if it wont ill try your idea, if it wont ill go to windows install it
[05:24] <rabiddachshund> non linear. Thanks
[05:24] <rabiddachshund> frogzoo: what do you mean on the drive?
[05:24] <p1ls> and run it then ;]
[05:25] <sotec_prod> p1ls, just like if you were to hypothetically download illegal software...same thing as copying it to the hd
[05:25] <p1ls> sotec_prod, just for a installation ;-P
[05:25] <non|linear> rabiddachshund: check ur dcc

[05:25] <deep`> I've modified some of the files in /etc, and now when i log in it sais "/dev/null - Permission denied", but it logs in anyway, and gives no error in syslog. Can i somehow see the files that tries to be opened?
[05:26] <rabiddachshund> dcc?
[05:26] <Spencer> I'm not sure which channel to ask this in, but what is the difference between Ubuntu and Edubuntu?
[05:26] <p1ls> what ya guys think about Ubuntu Hacks book, i ordered it for 8$ from amazon, is it good?
[05:26] <sotec_prod> yay

[05:26] <spikeb> from what i've seen of it, it's decent p1ls
[05:26] <deep`> Spencer: Edubuntu comes with alot of educational software

[05:26] <rabiddachshund> again, dcc?
[05:26] <jose> Can anyone help me get nvidia tv-out to work right?
[05:27] <sotec_prod> p1ls, personally, i don't think i want to hack ubuntu anymore than i have to. although, i would like to build my own kernel at some point. i'm sure there are things in it that i don't need
[05:27] <p1ls> dr_wills, does it teach you a lot, or just simple stuff
[05:27] <Spencer> @deep`: why can't there just be an apt package for all of the software
[05:27] <Spencer> ?
[05:27] <deep`> Spencer: well, there is too. But you might want to have it preinstalled. (
[05:27] <p1ls> what about linux programming for dummies anyone read that?
[05:27] <Moniker42> can someone walk me through mounting my external hdd?

[05:28] <sotec_prod> i think writing my own linux programs would be good ole hair pullin fun
[05:28] <doctorow> I need a Linux calendering app that will reliably sync my halendar with a handheld PDA. I'm willing to buy any PDA on the market and switch to any PIM (I presently use Evolution) -- I just need to be able to carry my calendar around in my pocket. Any recommendations?
[05:28] <p1ls> Paddy, you can go t synaptic, base system, it will show you image-bla-bla and later version

[05:29] <sotec_prod> pentagram, is your comp overclocked?
[05:29] <jose> doctorow: I'm told palmpilots sync with ubuntu
[05:29] <pentagramjohnson> overclocked? what do you mean by that?
[05:29] <non|linear> rabiddachshund: been on irc since '96, but honestly don't know what it means, it's an acronym for like direct connection something.... besically connect to you to send you a file
[05:29] <sotec_prod> nm pentagram.
[05:29] <pentagramjohnson> okay!
[05:29] <p1ls> lol ;]
[05:29] <p1ls> pentagram, modified, for example cpu
[05:29] <doctorow> jose Palm doesn't make those anymore -- just the Treos. My last Treo, a 650, did NOT synch reliably with Evolution
[05:30] <pentagramjohnson> oh
[05:30] <p1ls> anyone plays cs here?
[05:30] <pentagramjohnson> my apologies
[05:30] <non|linear> rabiddachshund: what client you using?

[05:30] <pentagramjohnson> no major modifications
[05:30] <pentagramjohnson> im on a laptop

[05:30] <doctorow> Jose thanks anywayt!
[05:30] <non|linear> rabiddachshund: did u get sgd on internet??? if not, i can dcc it to you quick, it's only 3.6 MB
[05:30] <sotec_prod> pentagram, some computer processors can be set to a higher speed than their factory settings will allow, but it raises the heating temp of the processor, so you need extra fans and possibly liquid cooling to keep it from turning into a stovetop
[05:31] <SR71-Blackbird> p1ls, yeah.. on wine
[05:31] <pentagramjohnson> im on a laptop
[05:31] <non|linear> it's an ISO, u just burn it to CD and boot to CD, and it will fix boot probs or just boot into OS, any OS
[05:31] <p1ls> sr71, any problems?
[05:31] <rabiddachshund> sgd? I am a complete irc n00b
[05:31] <sotec_prod> i think it's a waste of already fast processors, personally
[05:31] <non|linear> rabiddachshund: sgd = super grub disk, ill try to send again, it's like an essential thing you sdhould have anyhow
[05:31] <jose> Hehe, over-clocking was all the rage 5 years ago.
[05:31] <SR71-Blackbird> p1ls, well.. haven't done in feisty (after reinstalling) but i used to have problems related to memory

[05:32] <non|linear> rabiddachshund: i'm trying to send now, do you see it?
[05:32] <p1ls> sr71, are you using ventrillo?
[05:32] <sotec_prod> 'hey look, i can fry my computer like an omlet with UT2004!!! cool!"
[05:32] <rabiddachshund> oh. I have gotten nothing. That may be because I am not a registered irc user
[05:32] <mzuverink> Im connected via ssh to my server and I want to install ntpd, whats that package called, there are three listed?
[05:32] <pentagramjohnson> i want to know if im capable of disabling the auto shut down that occurs when my laptop is "overheated". because it clearly has not been any hotter than usual
[05:32] <SR71-Blackbird> p1ls, what's that?
[05:32] <non|linear> rabiddachshund: in xchat, go to window>file transfer
[05:32] <p1ls> its like teamspeak,
[05:32] <sotec_prod> "i have a .2 speed increase on my 3.2ghz processor!!! cool!"
[05:32] <p1ls> teams communicate using that ;]  like on matches ;-P
[05:33] <jose> sotec_prod I still remember thinking "Cool! I can run NIntendo 64 roms on my PC, provided I over-clock and buy a 3D accelerator!"
[05:33] <zeeeee> help! i ran brought down my main network interface and my system just froze. i don't know what to do because i can't start any processes, can't kill x, can't log in on ctrl-alt-f1. this has happened before, whenever the network goes off.

[05:37] <poningru> ballpoint_pengui: just when you format it just setup a 'title'
[05:38] <jose> frutax: mayhaps you need to change your default audio device?
[05:38] <poningru> ballpoint_pengui: you can format it in gparted
[05:38] <frutax> jose: sounds right, how do i do that?
[05:38] <p1ls> anyone got some cool interesting vidoes with some presentations/linux/security, in their favority section ;-p
[05:39] <sotec_prod> p1ls, i don't have any linux really, but microsofts new computer, i have to say, is DAMN sweet.
[05:39] <sotec_prod> one sec
[05:39] <ballpoint_pengui> poningru: If I understand correctly, I use gparted to set the title of "foo", and it will connect as /media/foo. Is that about right?
[05:39] <poningru> ballpoint_pengui: yes
[05:39] <Ghost_Auk> My update automatic program is not working:  says that there is a problem with two packages:  clvm & redhat-cluster-suite  (on ubuntu 64-bit OS)  Should I force purge those two, and try again?
[05:39] <sotec_prod> http://www.metacafe.com/watch/620211/details_of_ms_surface/
[05:40] <sotec_prod> try that p1ls
[05:40] <R00tBreaker> is the SSH service automatically installed with ubuntu 7.04 or do you have to download it?
[05:40] <sotec_prod> amazing is the right word i think.
[05:40] <jose> frutax: double-click on the volume control tray icon
[05:40] <sotec_prod> very, uh...un-microsoft of them to push something like this
[05:40] <artabrahao> qual o pacote do mc?
[05:40] <sotec_prod> mainly because it seems like it works.
[05:40] <poningru> Ghost_Auk: what is clvm?
[05:40] <jose> frutax: Then click on File ->Change Device
[05:40] <jose> frutax and then click on your USB headphones
[05:41] <artabrahao> what is the mc packag name?
[05:41] <frutax> jose: wow, thank you so much
[05:41] <non|linear> i am gonna do a clean install, is there any way to use the newest kernel without compiling?
[05:41] <p1ls> artarbraho, sudo apt-cache search name
[05:41] <Ghost_Auk> poningru:   a cluster program for multiple computers
[05:41] <jose> frutax: What the hell? It worked?
[05:41] <ballpoint_pengui> poningru: I think I'll give that a try. I'll back the contents up to another drive before doing that, but thanks in advance for giving me a direction to go!
[05:41] <sotec_prod> non|linear, install and it will update online to the newest version of the kernel
 I dont knos the nae
[05:41] <artabrahao> dont know the name
[05:41] <sotec_prod> mine just updated today to the latest
[05:42] <non|linear> sotec_prod: yea, but when i do that it leaves the previous kernel on the drive
[05:42] <p1ls> artabrahao, what you looking for, il find it
[05:42] <sotec_prod> non|linear, you can get rid of the older kernels if you like
[05:42] <sotec_prod> use synaptic
[05:42] <sotec_prod> i need to do that myself
[05:42] <sotec_prod> i have 3 of them in grub
[05:42] <frutax> jose: it seems like it should work now on a reboot, right? no, it's not working right now though
[05:42] <p1ls> sotec, whats the newswt kernel now
[05:42] <sotec_prod> 09, 15, and 16
[05:42] <sotec_prod> 16
[05:43] <p1ls> good i got 16 ;-p
[05:43] <p1ls> artabrahao, you looking for mc ?
[05:43] <SillyZ> are there any tools for tweaking sata or scsi drive performance, like hdparm ?
[05:43] <sotec_prod> seems like there's a new one every week now..
[05:43] <ballpoint_pengui> poningru: For what it's worth, here's what I'm doing: I have a laptop that would normally be a paperweight, and I've got it connected to my home stereo....
[05:43] <non|linear> sotec_prod: how do i get rid of the old kernels?  i always get rid of the auto crap in menu.lst, and then when i update kernel it just adds the new stuff to the bottom, will it erase old kernel if i leave auto crap in menu.lst?
[05:43] <p1ls> non|linear, base system,
[05:43] <CITguy> can anybody here help me with setting up samba?
[05:43] <sotec_prod> non, use synaptic, search for 'kernel'
[05:44] <p1ls> Synapti > base system > find the installed image-kernel..., delete
[05:44] <sotec_prod> pay close attention to the numbers in the filenames
[05:44] <jose> frutax: err
[05:44] <ballpoint_pengui> The portable drive has my ripped CD's on it, and I'm wanting to make sure I'm able to read the contents from either a Linux or XP <sigh> box...
[05:44] <jose> frutax: It should actually work right away, I think.
[05:44] <sotec_prod> and remove all but the newest, but make sure you don't delete ANYthing with the newest version number in the filename
[05:44] <sotec_prod> only old numbers
[05:44] <frutax> jose: damn, well why does the usb audio test work then?
[05:44] <wobx> well PS1 problem turned out not to be one
[05:45] <wobx> seems to be in every .bashrc
[05:45] <p1ls> anyone using conky here?
[05:45] <ballpoint_pengui> (The laptop is running Feisty, and rather well, I might add <grin>)
[05:45] <jose> frutax: Probably because it explicitly selects your USB headset as an audio output device.
[05:45] <sotec_prod> i have a question: how to you run a filesystem check from cli?
[05:45] <non|linear> p1ls: what do u mean base syustem?
[05:45] <jose> frutax: but Ubuntu's still using its default audio device - unless you've switched it
[05:45] <sotec_prod> fsck doens't work for me
