[09:17] <richardkillingsw> ok
[09:17] <ice_1963> if you won't
[09:17] <grumbly> read a bit
[09:17] <Razor-X> richardkillingsw: it's what ``su'' gives you
[09:18] <richardkillingsw> now it says root@richard25k
[09:18] <grumbly> don't get too atached to this system
[09:18] <richardkillingsw> is that good
[09:18] <grumbly> yeah
[09:18] <grumbly> if you want to be root
[09:18] <richardkillingsw> ok now what
[09:18] <grumbly> you are root in that shell
[09:18] <richardkillingsw> ok
[09:18] <richardkillingsw> now how do i put those codecs in place
[09:18] <anacron> grumbly: w32 codecs for watching videos?
[09:18] <richardkillingsw> yeah
[09:18] <grumbly> how do I discover what's causing these halts?
[09:18] <nickrud> richardkillingsw, take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewUserGuideMultimedia , that may put the instructions in another light
[09:19] <richardkillingsw> those sites confuse me
[09:19] <grumbly> anacron: you shouldnt need the win codecs
[09:19] <richardkillingsw> just explain it here
[09:19] <richardkillingsw> yeah
[09:19] <richardkillingsw> i do
[09:19] <grumbly> richardkillingsw: maybe you should stick to windows?
[09:19] <richardkillingsw> come on
[09:19] <richardkillingsw> help me
[09:19] <anacron> richardkillingsw: yeah, you shouldn't, but you actually do with some videofiles
[09:19] <grumbly> or use VMware and become familiar with a distro
[09:19] <anacron> vlc helps a lot
[09:19] <nickrud> richardkillingsw, we try, but you need to help us out
[09:19] <richardkillingsw> what do i type to put codecs in the usr/lib folder
[09:20] <grumbly> richardkillingsw:  WHAT  EXactly are you trin to install?
[09:20] <richardkillingsw> codecs
[09:20] <f_newton> heh... well cxoffice cant handle media player too well
[09:20] <f_newton> lol
[09:20] <f_newton> at least with my small resources
[09:20] <richardkillingsw> i want to watch a movie
[09:20] <anacron> richardkillingsw: don't say that you are installing manually the codecs?
[09:20] <grumbly> yeah... you said that.  what codecs... and dont say video and audio
[09:20] <f_newton> but it still works better then fedora did at handling graphics
[09:20] <richardkillingsw> it has video but no audio
[09:20] <grumbly> what filetypes?
[09:20] <richardkillingsw> and the file is good
[09:20] <grumbly> what codec?
[09:20] <richardkillingsw> win 32
[09:20] <grumbly> what is it encoded with
[09:21] <grumbly> win32 isnt a codec
[09:21] <concept10> f_newton, media player?
[09:21] <grumbly> WMV?  wma?  ASF?
[09:21] <anacron> richardkillingsw: i you just want watch a movie, then try sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-alsa, and try to watch it with that

[09:24] <lancer285> hey guys, is there a kernel package for a 64bit ath?
[09:24] <grumbly> lancer285: yeah.
[09:24] <grumbly> www.kernel.org
[09:24] <grumbly> not specific to an athlon
[09:24] <grumbly> but you go there... you look at it.
[09:24] <lancer285> grumby is there one available via apt-get?
[09:24] <grumbly> dunno
[09:24] <anacron> lancer285: you shouldn't use 64bit if you wan't to use flash and other good software
[09:24] <grumbly> don't have an athlon
[09:25] <lancer285> anacron, its not my pc, its a buddies
[09:25] <anacron> lancer285: what do he use it for
[09:25] <lancer285> anacron we're trying to get point2play/cedega to work
[09:25] <richardkillingsw> ok i typed all of that
[09:25] <anacron> lancer285: it's easier without updating
[09:25] <richardkillingsw> what do i type now
[09:26] <grumbly> richardkillingsw:  mov = quicktime  wmv = windows media  avi = probably divx, but maybe raw
[09:26] <casperl> hi all, should there be a /dev/pilot device in ubuntu 5.04?  Maybe that's why my palm won't be recognised.
[09:26] <lancer285> anacron: so don't worry about the kernal package for the 64bit?
[09:26] <richardkillingsw> i type that
[09:26] <olivier> Hi, what is the command to stop the X server?
[09:26] <nickrud> try playing the movie. If it doesn't play, the the all  tarball, not just essential, and copy them into /usr/lib/win32 and try again
[09:26] <anacron> lancer285: if you want to use cedega in 64bit you have to make chroot 32bit or something like that
[09:26] <richardkillingsw> ok
[09:26] <grumbly> olivier: ctrl + alt + Backspace
[09:26] <nickrud> assuming you're using mplayer
[09:27] <richardkillingsw> im using kaffeine
[09:27] <lancer285> anacron do that when running point2play?
[09:27] <olivier> grumbly: thanks
[09:27] <anacron> lancer285: i dunno, im not using point2play
[09:27] <nickrud> never used it, but I'm failrly sure it uses the same codecs
[09:27] <anacron> lancer285: but i guess it does
[09:27] <lancer285> anacron, okay thanks, I'll look on the forums for taht (:
[09:28] <olivier> grumbly: mmm, it restarted on itw own ....
[09:28] <anacron> lancer285: there's a wiki 'bout using cedega in 64bit
[09:28] <anacron> lancer285: or actually it's something like changing chroot to 32bit
[09:28] <lancer285> anacron, k, thanx! I think I have that bm'd
[09:28] <anacron> lancer285: good luck
[09:28] <concept10> I hate the fonts in Linux, I wish I could get them clear like in XP
[09:29] <richardkillingsw> alright i done it
[09:29] <richardkillingsw> i got it in there
[09:29] <Choubaka> I actually read that XP as a smiley.
[09:30] <f_newton> concept10, fedora had much better fonts and a better rendition of gnome but that is only costume ... the workings of the os are what is important to me
[09:30] <Choubaka> Curse those people who use it as such!
[09:30] <nickrud> concept10, try playing around with system-preferences-font, under details you can get adjust a bit
[09:30] <nickrud> s/get//
[09:30] <anacron> f_newton: yeah you can change fonts so what's the deal
[09:31] <richardkillingsw> ok another question
[09:31] <olivier> ctrl + alt + backspace was a bad command ....
[09:31] <anacron> the great thing in linux is that you can adjust everything if you know how to
[09:31] <concept10> f_newton, nickrud look at a screenshot :http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/1641/screenshot8xh.png
[09:31] <richardkillingsw> how do you extract .rar files on ubuntu
[09:31] <george___> hi
[09:31] <Burgundavia> richardkillingsw, wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[09:31] <george___> I have raid issue
[09:31] <anacron> richardkillingsw: sudo apt-get install rar
[09:31] <george___> can someone tell me how to fix?
[09:31] <olivier> how do you stop X?
[09:31] <george___> i been trying 2 hours
[09:31] <richardkillingsw> you put that
[09:31] <george___> how do i configure raid in ubuntu setup?
[09:32] <richardkillingsw> sudo apt-get install rar
[09:32] <anacron> olivier: sudo killall X or something
[09:32] <george___> i got the raid configed and all but grub won't install
[09:32] <anacron> richardkillingsw: not in irc :D
[09:32] <SquareGuy> richardkillingsw, install unrar then either use file-roller or via command line like unrar e file.rar to not preserve paths or unrar x file.rar to preserve paths
[09:32] <olivier> there must be a nice way to stop X ....
[09:32] <richardkillingsw> i know
[09:32] <george___> how do i partition the raid0
[09:32] <nickrud> concept10, I can read that :)
[09:32] <Razor-X> anyone use mpd, who's here now?
[09:32] <richardkillingsw> im not that stupid dude
[09:32] <george___> i need help with getting raid working
[09:32] <richardkillingsw> ok
[09:32] <george___> i got 2 160 gb, i got it raided but grub won't install
[09:32] <richardkillingsw> where do i get unrar
[09:33] <richardkillingsw> at
[09:33] <concept10> nickrud, how do i get it a little more clear than that?
[09:33] <george___> how do i config
[09:33] <Razor-X> richardkillingsw: from the repos
[09:33] <nickrud> olivier, the good way is to log out, then ctl-alt-backspace
[09:33] <george___> ubuntuguide?
[09:33] <richardkillingsw> repos
[09:33] <Razor-X> !ubuntuguide
[09:33] <richardkillingsw> ?
[09:33] <ubotu> rumour has it, ubuntuguide is a set of instructions with no explanation. Please do not advise people to use ubuntuguide.  Advise https://wiki.ubuntu.com instead. Item 4 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewUsersNetworkGuidelines explains why.
[09:33] <olivier> nickrud: I tried that, but it restarted right after
[09:33] <SquareGuy> richardkillingsw, get it via apt-get or synaptic just make sure that your repositories are set to use non-free software
[09:33] <olivier> nickrud: and when doing it in tty1 it rebooted ...
[09:33] <nickrud> olivier, oh, stop it.
[09:33] <Burgundavia> richardkillingsw, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[09:33] <george___> how i get this raid done?
[09:33] <Razor-X> SquareGuy: rar is free
[09:33] <richardkillingsw> ok
[09:33] <richardkillingsw> hold on
[09:33] <george___> i did ubuntu forum search
[09:33] <richardkillingsw> ok
[09:34] <Razor-X> errr, unrar
[09:34] <george___> AHHHH
[09:34] <nickrud> olivier, in tty1, invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[09:34] <Razor-X> there's a specific package unrar-nonfree
[09:34] <george___> help?
[09:34] <olivier> ha thanks :)
[09:34] <SquareGuy> Razor-X, k - i use the non-free version on unrar
[09:34] <Razor-X> that has more features than unrar, but it's, as the name says, nonfree
[09:34] <george___> amd 64 ubuntu, got raid created, but can't install grub
[09:34] <Razor-X> SquareGuy: yeah, same here
[09:34] <george___> what must i do
[09:34] <olivier> sounds like it worked :)
[09:34] <richardkillingsw> ok how do you set that
[09:35] <Razor-X> I'm trying to get mpd setup, but after that, I don't feel like using my brain on anything else for today so... yeah, I guess
[09:35] <nickrud> concept10, it's all a matter of taste, you can try the settings in the font preference, or look into fontconfig
[09:35] <george___> i need to get raid done here
[09:35] <george___> how do i do?
[09:35] <Razor-X> every Window Manager I tried failed today, ugghhhh
[09:35] <richardkillingsw> how do i set it to get non free software
[09:35] <george___> every darn attempt to get raid done failed
[09:35] <Razor-X> some nice music would ease the transition between WMs...
[09:35] <Razor-X> !tell richardkillingsw about repos
[09:36] <george___> razor u want 2 help me?
[09:36] <Razor-X> george___: there's a nice google entry on GRUB and RAID
[09:36] <grumbly> hey.... um...
[09:36] <george___> i can't config raid, i went to forum and read
[09:36] <george___> I DID tHE DARN READING
[09:36] <grumbly> (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found)  but I installed the nvidia driver
[09:36] <george___> i come here as last resort
[09:36] <Razor-X> george___: no caps, and i'll prove you wrong
[09:36] <rowanjl> blech, hoarys monodevelop can't work on warty
[09:36] <grumbly> what's the deal
[09:36] <SquareGuy> richardkillingsw, hehe i just realized im on my debain box...  umm i think you can do that under prefernces of ubuntu's update manager or in synaptics preferences.  of course you can edit them by hand but i'm not gonna go there
[09:36] <george___> ...i search in ubuntu forums
[09:36] <george___> i googled
[09:36] <Razor-X> someone else asked the exact same question
[09:36] <george___> i read ubuntu wiki
[09:36] <george___> i read ubuntuguide
[09:36] <rowanjl> Was there ever a release of monodevelop on warty?
[09:36] <george___> where??
[09:37] <Razor-X> george___: first hit on google
[09:37] <Razor-X> http://www.linuxsa.org.au/mailing-list/2003-07/1270.html
[09:37] <george___> ok i got the 320.1gb partition
[09:37] <george___> do i have to config it?
[09:37] <olivier> ... no way to install those $$##$$ nvidia drivers ....
[09:37] <taz_> hllo guys :)
[09:37] <taz_> +e :)
[09:37] <george___> is this not AFTER installing?
[09:37] <SquareGuy> richardkillingsw, its either under ubuntus update manager or in synaptics preferences.  its easy point and click.  the repositories are already there you just need to enable them
[09:38] <Razor-X> george___: yeah, and then use a live CD to edit it all
[09:38] <george___> ah fuk
[09:38] <george___> fuck
[09:38] <olivier> I wonder how pple do, I mean, nvidia has like what 50% of the graphic card market??? why on earth is that so hard to install the video drivers?
[09:38] <george___> nothing working today
[09:38] <taz_> Anyone using gallery here? .. When does ubuntu release new version of gallery in the package system? Or do i have to upgrade manually?
[09:38] <Razor-X> same here, every WM I tried just borked
[09:38] <george___> i can't get this crap done in partition disks?
[09:38] <Razor-X> I got so messed up, I accidentally got rid of aptitude -- through aptitude
[09:39] <george___> any way to fix by configging the raided partition
[09:39] <Razor-X> george___: well, it uses UNIX only utilities
[09:39] <nickrud> taz_, there probably won't be a gallery upgrade until breezy, in october
[09:39] <SquareGuy> olivier, actually i think intel has the greatest % of video market - their integrated solutions
[09:39] <Razor-X> I thought you did your reading, though
[09:39] <george___> I DID
[09:39] <george___> i got up 2 point where i made a 320 gb raided partition
[09:39] <lewwy> hey chums
[09:39] <george___> now i get another gay error
[09:39] <george___> been up since 12 AM CUZ OF GAY xp
[09:39] <taz_> nickrud, oh.. then i better update it myself.. do you know if i should remove it in the package manager before i upgrade it?
[09:39] <george___> now this..
[09:39] <george___> lol
[09:39] <gilv> once ubuntu is installed, how to configure it ?
[09:39] <richardkillingsw> ok i done all of that
[09:39] <Razor-X> were you following this guide?
[09:39] <richardkillingsw> which one is the unrar in
[09:39] <george___> i search for guide
[09:39] <nickrud> taz_, yes you should
[09:40] <george___> i didn't foollow much
[09:40] <george___> just what people post in other threads
[09:40] <lewwy> My friend is considering purchasing a new computer.  its a showdown between the amd 3000+ and the p4 3.0ghz.  what one should he get?
[09:40] <richardkillingsw> amd
[09:40] <lewwy> hes leaning towards the p4
[09:40] <richardkillingsw> get the amd
[09:40] <lewwy> but like, why
[09:40] <SquareGuy> lewwy, ummm lets see here........ AMD
[09:40] <george___> P4 eat more energy than amd
[09:40] <richardkillingsw> p4 sucks
[09:40] <george___> AMD eat less energy
[09:40] <nickrud> price
[09:40] <george___> amd cheaper
[09:40] <taz_> nickrud, ok .. thx :) Btw.. it is missing jpegtran.. do you know if i can find this package as a .deb package or something?
[09:40] <richardkillingsw> slow as hell man
[09:40] <Razor-X> you get more bang for the buck using AMD
[09:40] <george___> amd just not as gay as p4
[09:41] <richardkillingsw> i have a amd
[09:41] <richardkillingsw> its really fast
[09:41] <george___> i got 64 3000 at 2.5 ghz

[09:41] <Razor-X> ;)
[09:41] <george___> hey razor
[09:41] <richardkillingsw> and mine is a 3000+
[09:41] <george___> any way to partition this ccrap?
[09:41] <richardkillingsw> too
[09:41] <george___> what i gootta do
[09:41] <Razor-X> george___: the key lies in mdadm
[09:41] <george___> mdadm?
[09:41] <george___> what?
[09:41] <Razor-X> follow the guide
[09:41] <RocketD> AMD is considerbly a better performer at this point vs a P4 and it has alot better cost advantage. Go AMD, you wont regret it. =)
[09:42] <george___> how the heck am i if i don't understand a damn word
[09:42] <SquareGuy> I can't say what P4's actually do in this forum but it rhymes with luck stock
[09:42] <george___> i GOT a RAID0 Device
[09:42] <george___> 320.1gb
[09:42] <george___> do i have to make it into ext3
[09:42] <george___> swap
[09:42] <george___> yeah sigh
[09:42] <Razor-X> george___: I suggest you do some reading into this, and then come back
[09:42] <olivier> is there a kernel-headers package with ubuntu?
[09:42] <george___> i did
[09:42] <nickrud> taz_, I don't complie much these days, but packages.ubuntu.com can probably help you out
[09:42] <george___> fuck, if i didn't i just wouldn't dive in
[09:42] <Razor-X> if you can't understand this stuff, I can't really put it into a digestable format unless I have physical contact with your system
[09:43] <olivier> (I'm trying to figure out why the nvidia installer says it doesn't find my kernel source)
[09:43] <george___> question is simple
[09:43] <taz_> nickrud, ill try that.. thx :)
[09:43] <george___> do i have to config the 320gb partition
[09:43] <george___> OR is it fine
[09:43] <RocketD> Anyone here use fwbuilder on ubuntu?
[09:43] <SquareGuy> olivier, all you should need is the headers and they are probably installed by default just use synaptic and sezarch for them
[09:43] <SquareGuy> olivier, i meant not by default, whoops
[09:44] <Razor-X> george___: you have to use mdadm to make md devices that pool the RAID partitions together in a way other software can read it
[09:44] <olivier> SquareGuy: ok, I'll restart X ...
[09:44] <Razor-X> the process is detailed in the guide
[09:44] <george___> i did that
[09:44] <george___> ALREADY
[09:44] <george___> HOLY MAN
[09:44] <taz_> nickrud, no success.. but ill find it in some way :)
[09:44] <george___> i just said i did that in the first 2 lines i was here
[09:45] <george___> now i just want to know if i have to make the partition from the 2 hds into something like ext3
[09:45] <Razor-X> george___: so you used mdadm, and you have your menu.list reflecting the resulting ``md'' devices?
[09:45] <nickrud> taz_, jpegtrans is in some debian lib, trust me. you'll just have to find the equiv name :)
[09:45] <george___> yes
[09:45] <george___> raid0
[09:45] <Razor-X> not raid0....
[09:45] <nickrud> s/ubuntu/debian/
[09:45] <Razor-X> it has to be like md0, and stuff
[09:45] <Razor-X> if you used mdadm
[09:45] <george___> what?
[09:45] <george___> where
[09:45] <george___> where
[09:45] <george___> where
[09:45] <pax> relax
[09:45] <Razor-X> george___: stop flooding
[09:45] <george___> config software raid?
[09:45] <Razor-X> read the guide, it explains it _all_
[09:46] <SquareGuy> has anyone seen/used this case?   -   http://store.yahoo.com/directron/cslx6a19.html
[09:46] <george___> i dont have live cds
[09:46] <george___> i just downloaded amd 64
[09:46] <olivier> how can I know if I have an amd64 K8 smp or not?
[09:46] <george___> i got a md0_raid0
[09:46] <freesbie> Hello Seveas :)
[09:47] <SquareGuy> olivier, if you don't know then you don't.  just type cat /proc/cpuinfo to be sure
[09:47] <Razor-X> george___: try adding that in
[09:47] <lewwy> ok, so i need some serious good reasons to put amd over p4
[09:47] <lewwy> apart from price
[09:47] <Razor-X> and yes, you can format it with any fs
[09:47] <lewwy> and the obvious stuff
[09:47] <george___> what?
[09:47] <george___> so what i have to format it 2
[09:47] <george___> do i have to format?
[09:47] <george___> where is my home
[09:47] <george___> swap
[09:47] <george___> boot
[09:47] <george___> and all that crap?
[09:47] <Razor-X> george___: yeah
[09:47] <olivier> SquareGuy: thanks
[09:47] <george___> ah fook
[09:47] <george___> this is bs
[09:47] <SquareGuy> olivier, np
[09:47] <george___> so from the raided partition
[09:48] <george___> i have to format, create swap, home dirctroies and all/
[09:48] <Razor-X> you add the fs onto it, install the files then, in the Ubuntu installer
[09:48] <SquareGuy> lewwy, amd is faster dude just check some reviews at anandtech.com or tomshardware.com, price is al;so better
[09:48] <george___> i using busted laptop
[09:48] <Razor-X> and then GRUB should configure to use it
[09:48] <george___> install the files?
[09:48] <george___> what files?
[09:48] <taz_> nickrud, oh.. ok
[09:48] <george___> what the mount point be ?
[09:49] <olivier> bah, I'll grab the generic ones ...
[09:49] <george___> do i have 2 create a swap and everything or does the installer do it automatically?
[09:49] <Razor-X> george___: the installer will install the files
[09:49] <george___> so what do i have 2 do?
[09:50] <Razor-X> but, you have to make your own swap and whatever
[09:50] <Razor-X> because of this problem
[09:50] <george___> yeah
[09:50] <olivier> grrrrrr it won't work
[09:50] <SquareGuy> olivier, whats not working?
[09:51] <nickrud> taz_, I think what you are looking for is libjpeg-progs, it has /usr/bin/jpegtran
[09:51] <olivier> installing the nvidia display drivers
[09:51] <SquareGuy> olivier, you dl them from nvidia i am assuming?
[09:51] <olivier> yep
[09:51] <SquareGuy> so what is happening
[09:52] <taz_> nickrud, ahhh thx man! :)
[09:52] <Razor-X> anyone here have experience with mpd?
[09:52] <olivier> the display is fine, I'm not complaining (with the reverse engineered drivers I guess), but I have a hard time compiling some openGL librairies ... so I'd like to use the nvidia ones ...
[09:52] <nickrud> taz_, I found that by doing apt-cache depends gallery
[09:53] <olivier> well, the installer simply doesn't work, saying it doesn't find the kernel interface, and so proposing to compile it for my kernel, but it fails telling me it doesn't find my kernel sources of something like that
[09:53] <SquareGuy> olivier, so what is happening when you try to install them?
[09:53] <taz_> nickrud, yeah..to be honest i checked depends on gallery and found that too.. but i did not know that jpegtran was included in that... hehe..
[09:53] <olivier> I have the kernel sources
[09:53] <taz_> nickrud, i did not think that far ;)
[09:53] <SquareGuy> okay, ill assume that you have gcc and everything installed.
[09:53] <nickrud> taz_, practice :)
[09:54] <taz_> nickrud, hehe :)
[09:54] <olivier> and I even compiled them (or at least I did something that took like 45 mins to compile)
[09:54] <SquareGuy> olivier, all you need is the headers but if you have the sources you will need to make sure they are setup first.  the easiest way is with the headers... trust me
[09:54] <olivier> I grabbed the .conf file being used, renamed it to something like .config (or whatever), and I did something ...
[09:54] <olivier> I've just installed the headers
[09:55] <olivier> do you think I have to log out of tty1 and relog in ?
[09:55] <SquareGuy> olivier, for you exact kernel revision?
[09:55] <f_newton> where is services located on the gui?
[09:55] <olivier> SquareGuy: ha well, that's a good question :p
[09:55] <Buffy_stufd> ;)
[09:55] <olivier> olivier: exact is a big word ... I guess, they are pretty close, let me check
[09:55] <nickrud> olivier, to get the right headers, do sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[09:56] <DukGalNamu> i got a problem with the ubuntu install of wine
[09:56] <benplaut> don't we all
[09:56] <olivier> nickrud: will do
[09:56] <DukGalNamu> Please use the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Fonts\LogPixels
[09:56] <DukGalNamu> to set the screen resolution and remove the "Resolution" entry in the config file
[09:56] <DukGalNamu> i get that error
[09:57] <taz_> nickrud, now my gallery will look more nice thx to you ;)
[09:57] <benplaut> are you on a computer with an odd resolution?
[09:57] <DukGalNamu> and wine exits with an error code 7
[09:57] <benplaut> (like a wide-screen laptop)
[09:57] <DukGalNamu> nope
[09:57] <nickrud> taz that's as close as I get to compiling these days, glad I could help :)
[09:57] <benplaut> hmm
[09:57] <taz_> nickrud, is there a simple way to reconfigure apache2 to add this: "--enable-module=rewrite" ?
[09:57] <benplaut> !wine
[09:57] <ubotu> I don't know, benplaut
[09:57] <benplaut> oh, come on
[09:57] <DukGalNamu> !dance
[09:57] <nickrud> taz_, not a ** clue, no apache here ;)
[09:57] <ubotu> Bugger all, i dunno, DukGalNamu
[09:58] <benplaut> don't play with the bot :P
[09:58] <DukGalNamu> !limbo
[09:58] <ubotu> DukGalNamu: Wish i knew
[09:58] <benplaut> (i get told that too much)
[09:58] <linlin> How can I install TCL on my system? apt-get install tcl returns that it is not a valid package...
[09:58] <nickrud> once ;P
[09:58] <mebaran151> crimsun
[09:58] <mebaran151> argh, I wish he were here
[09:58] <PM-Mewveez> damn
[09:58] <mebaran151> linlin, apt-cache search tcl
[09:58] <DukGalNamu> benplaut: i was hoping for more usability like the bot in ##c++
[09:58] <PM-Mewveez> that was one hell of a movie
[09:58] <Razor-X> mebaran151: you're the one that suggested mpd!
[09:58] <mebaran151> and install what it does
[09:58] <PM-Mewveez> wow
[09:58] <lomu> nas
[09:58] <Mugendai> Heya, was looking for a lil support
[09:58] <mebaran151> Razor-X, huh
[09:59] <taz_> nickrud, okis :)
[09:59] <olivier> nickrud, SquareGuy : aptitude ... is not doing anything, so I guess I have them ...
[09:59] <mebaran151> mpd?
[09:59] <benplaut> this is a blootbot :P
[09:59] <PM-Mewveez> go see stealth
[09:59] <PM-Mewveez> seriously
[09:59] <PM-Mewveez> worth every penny of eight bucks
[09:59] <PM-Mewveez> im going tomorrow
[09:59] <lomu> ei, anithin know because not found framebuffer with a vanila kernel?
[09:59] <Razor-X> Music Player Daemon
[09:59] <PM-Mewveez> gotta see that one ont he screen
[09:59] <Mugendai> just installed Ubuntu, apprently ended up with a default resolution/refresh rate thats invalid
[09:59] <olivier> let me note down the message I get from the nvidia installer
[09:59] <taz_> Question.. i wanna add "--enable-module=rewrite" for Apache2.. How do i do this the easiest way?
[09:59] <linlin> XD:  >ubotu< tcl ........ ubotu: Are you smoking crack?
[09:59] <PM-Mewveez> that was hot
[09:59] <Mugendai> screen is too wavey to read
[09:59] <Razor-X> !tell Mugendai about resolution
[10:00] <Mugendai> thank you
[10:00] <DukGalNamu> linlin: that was random
[10:00] <Mugendai> I'll hold tight to the WiKi
[10:00] <linlin> i thought it was funny...
[10:00] <linlin> im sorry :(
[10:00] <DukGalNamu> Mugendai: i had the same problem
[10:01] <Yagisan> G'day. Does anyone have a hoary pbuilder setup on powerpc ?
[10:01] <benplaut> ubotu wine is a compatibility layer used by linux to let it run [some]  windows programs. To install a recent version, go through the tutorial at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=29996   to find more information, as well as a list of applications that will work with wine, go to www.winehq.org
[10:01] <mebaran151> Razor-X, that
[10:01] <ubotu> benplaut: okay
[10:01] <mebaran151> what does it do anyway
[10:01] <DukGalNamu> Mugendai: you need to find the right resolution for your computer then set it
[10:01] <mebaran151> I acutally never used it
[10:01] <benplaut> !wine
[10:01] <mebaran151> it just sounded cool
[10:01] <Razor-X> mebaran151: it's a daemon that plays music
[10:01] <mebaran151> yeah
[10:01] <mebaran151> like cplay
[10:01] <benplaut> thanks, ubotu :)
[10:01] <Razor-X> cool concept -- not workin here though
[10:01] <mebaran151> but how is different
[10:01] <mebaran151> it seems like it is network thing
[10:01] <Razor-X> it works even when X shuts down
[10:01] <Razor-X> I was switching WMs, an wanted music ;)
[10:01] <Razor-X> mebaran151: when I call mpd, I get an error
[10:01] <olivier> bah, it's really long
[10:02] <mebaran151> heheh
[10:02] <mebaran151> weird
[10:02] <DukGalNamu> benplaut: wow, how does that work?
[10:02] <DukGalNamu> benplaut: whats the syntax?
[10:02] <mebaran151> Razor-X, I am back on 32 bits
[10:02] <olivier> in short, it says I need to "have configured the kernel sources matching your kernel..."
[10:02] <mebaran151> I skimmed out
[10:02] <benplaut> !tell DukGalNamu about add
[10:02] <Razor-X> mebaran151: hmmm, I see
[10:03] <PM-Mewveez> can i delete /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 and resize /dev/hda3 to become /dev/hda1 ?
[10:03] <stjepan> heya
[10:03] <DukGalNamu> hehe
[10:03] <stjepan> Is there a program like task manager on Windows
[10:03] <Razor-X> PM-Mewveez: get Partition Magic, or use QTParted
[10:03] <stjepan> I mean graphical, not text
[10:03] <nickrud> benplaut, you fixed the spelling :)
[10:03] <DukGalNamu> ubotu kirk is KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
[10:03] <olivier> it also says that "if you specified a separate output directory using either the "KNUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable
[10:03] <benplaut> yes :P
[10:03] <ubotu> DukGalNamu: okay
[10:03] <DukGalNamu> !kirk
[10:03] <ubotu> well, kirk is KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
[10:03] <stjepan> so?
[10:04] <olivier> and there's also something about the SYSSRC environment variable ...
[10:04] <DukGalNamu> -_-"
[10:04] <benplaut> ubotu forget kirk
[10:04] <ubotu> benplaut: i forgot kirk
[10:04] <benplaut> don't give it useless stuff...
[10:04] <DukGalNamu> that didn't work how i planned
[10:04] <nickrud> and that's how it works
[10:04] <benplaut> i can't beleive ubotu didn't have an entry for WINE...
[10:05] <SquareGuy> olivier, yeah that is a problem.  if you have the same sources and patches as your current kernel just make sure they are untarred/linked to /usr/src/linux copy the config file from /boot to /usr/src/linux/.config do a make mrproper and a make modules.  i'm thinking thats all that would need to be done.  anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong
[10:06] <PM-Mewveez> Razor-X:  gparted does it just fine :)
[10:07] <PM-Mewveez> im gonna go watch another movie now.. toodles
[10:07] <f_newton> I am going to try one more time to install and use thunderbird
[10:07] <f_newton> dang these small laptop screens
[10:07] <SquareGuy> well gota run, need some sleep
[10:07] <olivier> SquareGuy: ok, I already did the mrproper I think ... I'll do the modules
[10:08] <nickrud> f_newton, for a small screen, you may want to switch to mutt, it's a nice console mail client
[10:08] <taz_> Question.. i wanna add "--enable-module=rewrite" for Apache2.. How do i do this the easiest way? Is this possible to include when installing apache2 as a package from the package manager or must i do this manual?
[10:08] <f_newton> I want the advanced junk mail filtering that thunderbird provides
[10:08] <sexcopter8000m> morning, does anyone know kino?
[10:08] <f_newton> evolution works fine but the old version provided by ubuntu doesnt filter well
[10:08] <cisa> hi, is there any unofficial kernel >= 2.6.12 for ubuntu? normally i don't want such new things but my soundcard isn't supported by 2.6.10.
[10:09] <sexcopter8000m> i want to use it (or any other programmes you can suggest) to make a video clip from some jpegs
[10:09] <nickrud> you can use spamassassin, or any other filter prior to any mail client.
[10:09] <SquareGuy> olivier, im not sure you might need to build lernel too.  im not sure what all nvidia is looking for.  if it bitches that your source do not match your kernel i would uninstall the headers/sources and install just the headers making sure they are the correct ones
[10:09] <cisa> sorry, i'm talking about an kernel-image :)
[10:09] <psychonate> sexcopter8000m, I think you can do that with mplayer
[10:09] <cisa> s/an/a
[10:09] <psychonate> sexcopter8000m, rather, mencoder*
[10:09] <f_newton> I tried to find services to activate spam assasin but I couldnt figure it out
[10:09] <linlin> taz_, i'd imagine you'd have to recompile for that...do it manually in other words
[10:09] <olivier> ha .... in fact setting the SYSSRC path the the newly installed kernel-headers is working
[10:09] <Razor-X> anyone here read Wheel of Time?
[10:10] <jbpunk> who can help  me   ,about  type??
[10:10] <taz_> linlin, ok.. so i remove the package in package manager then?
[10:10] <Burgundavia> Razor-X, that is complete OT, please take it elswhere
[10:10] <znh> Razor-X: no, where does it go about?
[10:10] <olivier> however, nvidia suggest that I'd update to at least 2.6.11 cause it's saying there are issues with 2.6.10 ... :'(
[10:10] <Razor-X> Burgundavia: that's true
[10:10] <sexcopter8000m> thanks psychonate
[10:10] <SquareGuy> olivier, cool
[10:10] <sexcopter8000m> i'll come back if i have trouble with that as well ;)
[10:10] <psychonate> sexcopter8000m, http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-enc-images.html
[10:10] <linlin> taz_, yes, then get the source from apache.org and compile it.  its pretty straightforward
[10:10] <psychonate> sexcopter8000m, that should help
[10:10] <taz_> linlin, ok thx :)
[10:10] <linlin> yup
[10:11] <cisa> or can i use debian kernel-images for ubuntu? it's important that there is an initrd with s-ata stuff in he package
[10:11] <znh> what the.. I can still hear my laptop making noise.. but the power is off(and the battery is not in)
[10:11] <olivier> ha, I give up ... now it's complaining itself about opengl ...
[10:11] <olivier> so I guess opengl is completely borked on my system
[10:11] <Razor-X> i'll ask one last time before bed (since I see new users), does anyone here have mpd experience?
[10:11] <jbpunk> who can speak Chinese ???
[10:12] <craig> Hey
[10:12] <znh> jbpunk: currently not
[10:12] <Razor-X> jbpunk: #ubuntu-<two-letter-language-code>
[10:12] <znh> changie pankie
[10:12] <jbpunk> I am Chinese
[10:12] <linlin> jbpunk, thats cool
[10:12] <Razor-X> (I don't know the two-letter code for Chinese)
[10:12] <f_newton> lol well that was screwy
[10:13] <f_newton> brb
[10:13] <Razor-X> (English is ``en'')
[10:13] <olivier> ... what is the X configuration tool ?
[10:13] <craig> I just have a question how do i go about getting smb working..? Thank You
[10:13] <nickrud> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:13] <DukGalNamu> znh: if your laptop is off, and its still making noise... either you need to take your poor hamster out of there, or something is shorting and you should take out the battery
[10:13] <benplaut> oliver: there is none (for GUI)
[10:13] <nickrud> oliver ^^
[10:13] <jbpunk> I know you say ,  but my  en  is very poor!!!
[10:13] <benplaut> !xserver-xorg
[10:13] <ubotu> Bugger all, i dunno, benplaut
[10:14] <znh> DukGalNamu: I think Iam just getting paranoid
[10:14] <olivier> benplaut: I'm in a shell anyway ;)
[10:14] <benplaut> hmm
[10:14] <Razor-X> i'm 15 ;)
[10:14] <Razor-X> errr
[10:14] <benplaut> well, then do that ^^
[10:14] <mgcross> hmmm...how far away from Breazy going beta/gold....have lost track of time since moving here to Lorea....feel like I'm in a timewarp....
[10:14] <mgcross> lol
[10:14] <DukGalNamu> znh: hamsters are clever little buggers, so i would check anyways
[10:14] <mgcross> Korea
[10:14] <DukGalNamu> znh: besides, it wouldn't hurt to take out the battery and see if it still makes noise
[10:14] <Razor-X> mistype
[10:14] <nickrud> mgcross, I'm kinda hoping it'll be usable by mid august
[10:14] <znh> DukGalNamu: :-D
[10:15] <DukGalNamu> mgcross: why is everyone moving to korea
[10:15] <benplaut> ubotu xserver is to reconfigure your Xserver, in the terminal, type "sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg" (sans the "").
[10:15] <ubotu> ...but xserver is already something else...
[10:15] <benplaut> !xserver
[10:15] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, xserver is or !xwindows
[10:15] <benplaut> ahh
[10:15] <benplaut> !xwindows
[10:15] <ubotu> somebody said xwindows was Linux freedom Style, User power, or RAM stingy speed Ubuntu linux is what you want it to be. http://xwinman.org/
[10:16] <Mugendai> I'll go ahead and reccomend this to anyone listening who can do anything about it
[10:16] <nickrud> rofl
[10:16] <znh> hm non-self defensing bot
[10:16] <benplaut> completely not useful
[10:16] <Mugendai> it would be goof if during install it tested that your monitor is succesfully displaying the choosen video settings
[10:16] <Mugendai> and did a fallback to lower setting or text if the user does not respond
[10:16] <benplaut> ubotu forget xserver
[10:16] <ubotu> i forgot xserver, benplaut
[10:17] <se7enone> i am having a problem with sound. no matter how i adjust the different volume controls, i still get distortion...
[10:17] <benplaut> ubotu xserver is to reconfigure your Xserver, in the terminal, type "sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg" (sans the "").
[10:17] <ubotu> okay, benplaut
[10:17] <nickrud> !xserver
[10:17] <ubotu> rumour has it, xserver is to reconfigure your Xserver, in the terminal, type "sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg" (sans the "").
[10:17] <znh> se7enone: you sure the master and the PCM is at 70%
[10:17] <se7enone> znh: are they supposed to be set to 70? and why?
[10:17] <DukGalNamu> ubotu: you SUCK!
[10:17] <ubotu> DukGalNamu: Bugger all, i dunno
[10:18] <DukGalNamu> ...
[10:18] <znh> ubuto forget xserver
[10:18] <Razor-X> one last last time
[10:18] <znh> ubotu forget xserver
[10:18] <ubotu> znh: i forgot xserver
[10:18] <Razor-X> anyone have mpd experience? ;)
[10:18] <DukGalNamu> ubuto?
[10:18] <znh> ubotu xserver test
[10:18] <ubotu> znh: Are you smoking crack?
[10:18] <znh> do you?
[10:18] <Razor-X> ok then, bed time
[10:18] <Razor-X> night
[10:18] <se7enone> znh: are they supposed to be set to 70? and why?
[10:18] <znh> ubotu
[10:18] <znh> !xserver
[10:18] <ubotu> znh: Are you smoking crack?
[10:19] <znh> man what's wrong with the dev's
[10:19] <znh> se7enone: If higher, you might get distr
[10:19] <DukGalNamu> znh: i think they were smoking crack
[10:19] <znh> well yea.. maybe that's why ubuntu is that great
[10:19] <DukGalNamu> ...
[10:19] <DukGalNamu> -_-"
[10:20] <DukGalNamu> umm
[10:20] <znh> -_-' ?
[10:20] <DukGalNamu> sure
[10:20] <DukGalNamu> whynot
[10:20] <nickrud> znh, cafuego (the owner of ubotu) recommends #debian-bots for experimentation
[10:20] <znh> lets open his eyes
[10:20] <znh> o_O'
[10:20] <DukGalNamu> dang.. where can i get a good bot?
[10:20] <Buffy_stufd> infobot
[10:20] <Mugendai> bah
[10:20] <znh> DukGalNamu: make one at your self
[10:20] <DukGalNamu> i tried eggdrop.. but couldn't get it working
[10:21] <Buffy_stufd> ubotu is the next gen of "infobot"
[10:21] <ubotu> Buffy_stufd: Are you smoking crack?
[10:21] <Mugendai> ookay so I did the reconfigue of xorg...
[10:21] <Mugendai> but now I just errors on boot
[10:21] <Buffy_stufd> ubotu you are a genius
[10:21] <ubotu> Buffy_stufd: I think you lost me on that one
[10:21] <mgcross> DukGalNamu: heh...I didn't know everyone was.....tell me where they ARE please....I'm sooooo lonley...lol
[10:21] <DukGalNamu> ROFL
[10:21] <Mugendai> No symbols found skipping
[10:21] <znh> DukGalNamu: what kind of bot you do need?; maybe I can make one for you
[10:22] <george___> does nforce 4 work good with linux
[10:22] <Razor-X> the next generation of ``infobot'', ``Infobot -- the addict''
[10:22] <Razor-X> XD
[10:22] <DukGalNamu> mgcross: lonely???? where the hell are you? in the mountains?
[10:22] <GudyUbuntu> sounds like I finally managed to do it :)
[10:22] <Mugendai> Unable to find valid framebuffer
[10:22] <Buffy_stufd> :x
[10:22] <george___> does nforce 4 work good with linux
[10:22] <Razor-X> (he must be pretty addicted to crack, after all)
[10:22] <Razor-X> anyways, night all
[10:22] <DukGalNamu> mgcross: just get yourself a hot chick ;)
[10:22] <znh> night Razor-X
[10:22] <george___> good night
[10:22] <nickrud> night
[10:22] <Mugendai> Screens found, but none have a usable config
[10:22] <Buffy_stufd> G'night Razor-X
[10:22] <george___> it's almost 5
[10:22] <Mugendai> no screens found
[10:22] <DukGalNamu> znh: a good one :P
[10:22] <george___> i gotta get some sleep
[10:22] <GudyUbuntu> GudyUbuntu == olivier

[10:23] <mgcross> DukGalNamu: LOL! Yeah, kinda....Cheonan...plenty 'o people, but few westerners....can't get me a hot chick...my wife and son are her as well...
[10:23] <DukGalNamu> znh: i need it to dish out info like this one, easily configured, and it needs to be able to respond to things like !kirk correctly
[10:23] <sexcopter8000m> ok, i think i need to resize my jpegs first... is there a convenient tool to resize a bunch of jpegs?
[10:23] <mgcross> *here
[10:23] <znh> DukGalNamu: for what channel?
[10:23] <olivier> no more need for the command line irc ... thanks all :)

[10:24] <Y0Z> hi, how can i install some universal font?
[10:24] <Y0Z> utf-8 fonts!
[10:24] <penticlex> does any one know how to get the network settings program to edit the network config file
[10:24] <penticlex> I had to manualy edit my DNS file
[10:25] <lunitik> sexcopter8000m, apt-get install imagemagick ... one of its tools can
[10:25] <sexcopter8000m> cool, thanks
[10:25] <penticlex> it works I just want the prog to work also
[10:25] <se7enone> how can i get access to my windows drive?
[10:25] <lunitik> se7enone, mount it
[10:25] <se7enone> how?
[10:25] <Buffy_stufd> penticles - if you are new and i am. - use apt-get or synaptic to install a freindly gui - "firestarter firewall" - no muss no fuss
[10:26] <Y0Z> pengo__, echo nameserver DNS IP >> /etc/resolv.conf :)
[10:26] <Y0Z> penticlex, , echo nameserver DNS IP >> /etc/resolv.conf :)
[10:26] <lunitik> se7enone, fdisk -l  ... which of those is windows formated?
[10:26] <topyli> Y0Z: most X fonts on ubuntu seem to support utf8
[10:26] <lunitik> se7enone, and what is it formated with? NTFS or FAT32?
[10:27] <se7enone> lunitik: hda1 is ntfs
[10:27] <PM-Mewveez> i changed my mind
[10:27] <PM-Mewveez> ive already seen this one
[10:27] <lunitik> se7enone, mkdir /media/c && mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1    <-- copy and paste that
[10:28] <Y0Z> Generating locales...
[10:28] <Y0Z>   en_US.UTF-8... done

[10:28] <Y0Z> Generation complete.
[10:28] <lunitik> se7enone, mkdir /media/c && mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/c   <-- copy and paste that
[10:28] <lunitik> sorry
[10:28] <lunitik> and you will only need from mount on next time
[10:28] <lunitik> note its read only currently though
[10:28] <topyli> Y0Z: please don't paste those on the channel. we've all seen locales generated before
[10:28] <Buffy_stufd> Y0Z - you are damn good at this. - nice.
[10:29] <se7enone> lunitik: will the drive be mounted if i reboot the system?
[10:29] <selinium> hi all, what are the dangers of using the backports repository?
[10:29] <Y0Z> i`m from romania, and some subtitles don`t work :(
[10:29] <topyli> se7enone: no, you need to edit /etc/fstab
[10:29] <Y0Z> sorry for the copy/paste on the channel
[10:29] <lunitik> se7enone, no... you'd need to add a simular line to /etc/fstab for that
[10:30] <lunitik> se7enone, as topyli just said
[10:30] <Buffy_stufd> was i subtle? - didn't think i could be. - lol
[10:30] <se7enone> lunitik: will do. appreciate.
[10:30] <topyli> Y0Z: the viewer doesn't use a suitable font. which viewer are you using?
[10:30] <se7enone> lunitik: the same line or similar?
[10:30] <Y0Z> gedit
[10:31] <selinium> Buffy_stufd now nown as Subtle..... :)
[10:31] <penticlex> I get permission denied
[10:31] <lunitik> se7enone, the format is pretty basic... just follow the layout already there... show me what you have when you're done (or topyli if I'm gone by then)
[10:31] <Buffy_stufd> ;)
[10:31] <bsoric> can anybody help me with an ssh problem? i just need someone to ssh into my machine and see if it works
[10:31] <penticlex> and yes I used sudo
[10:31] <penticlex> oddd
[10:31] <lunitik> se7enone, but no, its not exactly the same...
[10:31] <knowledge> apt-get install kubuntu ? to install kde and such?
[10:32] <lunitik> knowledge, kubuntu-desktop
[10:32] <lunitik> yes
[10:32] <selinium> bsoric: ok
[10:32] <knowledge> lunitik, thank you kindly
[10:32] <bsoric> selinium, thanks
[10:32] <sexcopter8000m> erm, what's the command to use imagemagick?
[10:32] <topyli> se7enone: http://snipurl.com/gom3 [wiki.ubuntu.com]
[10:32] <bsoric> selenium: ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:32] <knowledge> lunitik, and that basically means that I have ubuntu and kubuntu installed in a sense correct?
[10:33] <hhurtta_> sexcopter8000m: imagemagic has lots of smaller programs to use
[10:33] <lunitik> sexcopter8000m, dpkg -L imagemagick | grep bin  ... something there to do with resize or munipulate
[10:33] <Madpilot> hi all - another d*mned power outage - 2nd in four nights....
[10:33] <lunitik> knowledge, sure, if you want to look at it like that  ;)
[10:33] <george___> hi i get a error with my nforce4 raid
[10:33] <penticlex> odd I had to open a term as root to do it
[10:33] <george___> it says the ext3 failed
[10:33] <lunitik> sexcopter8000m, imagemagick is a collection of tools
[10:33] <cyphase> anyone know when Gnome is going to have tags?
[10:33] <knowledge> coolness, thanks again
[10:33] <george___> how do i fix?
[10:34] <sexcopter8000m> ok, is there a man page i can read?
[10:34] <lunitik> cyphase, define 'tags'>
[10:34] <cyphase> i mean the version, not the date
[10:34] <sexcopter8000m> what does -L do lunitik?
[10:34] <cyphase> lunitik, like categories on a blog
[10:34] <cyphase> except for files
[10:34] <lunitik> sexcopter8000m, lists the contents of a package... what it installed, and where
[10:34] <hhurtta_> sexcopter8000m: it lists contents of a package
[10:34] <sexcopter8000m> ok
[10:34] <george___> i get this message when creating ext3 file system for/ in partition #1 of raid0 device #0
[10:35] <george___> it says
[10:35] <george___> failed to create a file system
[10:35] <george___> the ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of raid0 device #0 failed
[10:35] <george___> wwhat i do
[10:35] <HrdwrBoB> george___: where do you get that message
[10:35] <george___> when i am partitioning
[10:36] <george___> writing the partition
[10:36] <lunitik> george___, during install?
[10:36] <george___> top says please wait...
[10:36] <george___> yes
[10:36] <selinium> bsoric: No joy i'm afraid
[10:36] <george___> during install
[10:36] <bsoric> damn
[10:36] <bsoric> ah well, thanks anyway
[10:36] <george___> i am raiding 2 160gb wd
[10:36] <selinium> bsoric: are you using a router?
[10:36] <george___> i have a dfi lanparty ut nf4 ultra-d
[10:36] <penticlex> testing
[10:36] <george___> error message happens after 100%
[10:36] <penticlex> YOZ: thanks
[10:36] <HrdwrBoB> george___: linux software raid?
[10:37] <george___> what?
[10:37] <selinium> hi all, what are the dangers of using the backports repository?
[10:37] <george___> yes i said up the software raid
[10:37] <george___> i made 160 into raid
[10:37] <george___> then when software raid
[10:37] <george___> raid0
[10:37] <george___> followed instructins
[10:37] <george___> then try and partition the 320 gb hd and get error
[10:37] <george___> raid0 does not lik eme
[10:37] <PurpleMotion> is there a development package for superkaramba? like an rad ide or something?
[10:38] <HrdwrBoB> george___: if it's linux software raid
[10:38] <Buffy_stufd> george - dfi nf4 ultra-d - nice board bios is infinetly configurable. - great for OC.
[10:38] <HrdwrBoB> it will be md0
[10:38] <PurpleMotion> s/a/an
[10:38] <george___> yes
[10:38] <george___> it says md0
[10:38] <HrdwrBoB> ok
[10:38] <george___> md0_raid0
[10:38] <george___> but i get
[10:38] <george___> failed to create a file system
[10:38] <HrdwrBoB> does it give you anymore information
[10:38] <HrdwrBoB> what does cat /proc/mdstat say
[10:38] <george___> the ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of raid0 device #0 failed.
[10:39] <george___> i can do a use as and it work s
[10:39] <george___> but when i try and create boot and share and stuff it won't work
[10:39] <lunitik> george___, during install... hit ctrl+f2 and type what HrdwrBoB said
[10:39] <PurpleMotion> see that's the shit i wanna get into.. raid arrays and lvm mirroring and gigabit imaging
[10:39] <PurpleMotion> where's the certification for that :D
[10:39] <topyli> selinium: it's not as bad as it used to be. they're even labeled "official" now
[10:40] <george___> ok
[10:40] <HrdwrBoB> PurpleMotion: just get a few drives and play with it, it's deceptively easy once you understand the concepts
[10:40] <HrdwrBoB> ok, time to go cook dinner
[10:40] <topyli> selinium: they're unsupported of course
[10:40] <george___> when do i do this
[10:40] <PurpleMotion> HrdwrBoB:  yeah i know, i just wanna know if there's a certification for it :D
[10:40] <george___> when i click finish partitioning and wirte changes to disk?
[10:40] <selinium> topli: cheers. I get a little nervous about these things occasionally! :)
[10:40] <PurpleMotion> Jay needs a JOB
[10:40] <PurpleMotion> heh
[10:40] <lunitik> george___, after you've created to raid array...
[10:40] <HrdwrBoB> PurpleMotion: there's all sorts of certification and none of it means diddly squat
[10:41] <george___> ok, should i delete the 160 raid drives 2
[10:41] <PurpleMotion> It sure as hell does when you're applying for a job
[10:41] <topyli> selinium: it's another thing how much you gain by using these unsupported packages. backports hoary-extras may have something you want though
[10:41] <lunitik> HrdwrBoB, it provides a peice of paper saying "I can do this"... if your employer trusts you, then its unneeded though sure...
[10:41] <george___> what's lgm?
[10:41] <lunitik> george___, lvm?
[10:41] <selinium> topli: i only normally use them for restricted files decoders. Is there a problem with getting files from backports then removing backports after?
[10:42] <PurpleMotion> linux volume manager
[10:42] <lunitik> george___, a kind of software raid...
[10:42] <PurpleMotion> yeah
[10:42] <george___> should i try that?
[10:42] <PurpleMotion> a pretty nice kinda software raid, actually
[10:42] <lunitik> george___, you can if you want
[10:42] <topyli> selinium: no problem there
[10:42] <selinium> topli: cheers!
[10:42] <george___> does it work same?
[10:42] <george___> cuz raid is being a pain in the dock
[10:42] <george___> so ctrl + f2 when creating raid/
[10:42] <Buffy_stufd> !raid
[10:42] <ubotu> Buffy_stufd: parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about
[10:42] <lunitik> george___, no, else it wouldn't exist...
[10:42] <Positron> can someone guide me for doing a partition of my hd before installing win and then ubuntu?
[10:42] <knowledge> when people say "don't use ubuntuguide"...do they say it because of the backports used? or some other reason?
[10:43] <george___> lol
[10:43] <george___> sorry
[10:43] <lunitik> george___, it accomplishes bascially the same thing though
[10:43] <george___> 5 am didn't get no sleep
[10:43] <ach> I can't start up gnome session in ubuntu the system crashes. I can onle get into recovery console mode. Can anyone help?
[10:43] <george___> lol
[10:43] <lunitik> basically*
[10:43] <PurpleMotion> it can be somewhat intensive.. remember it's software.. if you're going with mirroring applications, remember that every byte you write to the system is being written twice, and the engine controlling it is taking cpu cycles
[10:43] <george___> what difference
[10:43] <george___> i just want to do a raid 0 ish thing
[10:43] <george___> lgm will do
[10:43] <george___> ??
[10:43] <lunitik> george___, LVM is raid without the safety...
[10:44] <topyli> Positron: when you install windows, use its partitioning tool to create the windows partitions. leave some unpartitioned space at the end of the disk, that's all
[10:44] <lunitik> george___, LVM not LGM
[10:44] <george___> sorry
[10:44] <selinium> knowledge: because it does not tell you why you are keying what you are keying. For a better understanding of what you are trying to do look it up on https://wiki.ubuntu,com
[10:44] <george___> safety?
[10:44] <george___> this thing anit safe
[10:44] <george___> ?
[10:44] <knowledge> selinium, I see, but the backports that are listed on that site are ok to use?
[10:45] <Madpilot> ubotu tell knowledge about ubuntuguide
[10:45] <PurpleMotion> heh, install linux first, and leave like 10 gigs for windows.. once in linux, install vmware and give it direct access to the blank space you left, then install win through that :D that way you have no native windows system and you are truly 1337
[10:45] <lunitik> george___, the different raid levels provide safety because you're making duplicates of data... LVM doesn't do this... it just makes the drives seem as one...
[10:45] <topyli> knowledge: there's an official backports repository now. only hoary-extras must be fetched from outside archive.ubuntu.com
[10:45] <knowledge> yeah, it used to be in the topic, but I don't see it anymore
[10:46] <PurpleMotion> lunitik:  which really isnt necessary (just mount it somewhere) and could suck big time if a large file got split across the drives
[10:47] <george___> what's the difference between raid and lgm or whatever
[10:47] <lunitik> PurpleMotion, true enough... which is why I'm not using LVM  ;)
[10:47] <lunitik> george___, I just told you
[10:47] <george___> where
[10:47] <PurpleMotion> george___:  we just told you as plain as it can be told.. raid glues drives together and provides backups.. lvm only glues them together
[10:48] <PurpleMotion> without providing backups
[10:48] <george___> backups?
[10:48] <george___> raid0 has backup
[10:48] <george___> ??
[10:48] <PurpleMotion> although i've heard of lvm used for mirroring
[10:48] <george___> really?
[10:48] <george___> so is lvm like raid0?
[10:48] <ach> "The Gnome session manager  (process 7042) has crashed due to fatal error (segmentation fault)" does this look familiar to anyone?
[10:48] <lunitik> george___, LVM = multiple disks functioning as one ... RAID = duplicates data across 2 or more disks to provide a way to recover from data loss
[10:48] <george___> ah
[10:49] <PurpleMotion> that looks like it sucks
[10:49] <topyli> ach: looks like a good old crash
[10:49] <george___> raid 0 has data loss protection?
[10:49] <PurpleMotion> good ole reliable
[10:49] <rickity> ach, where did you get your install CD?
[10:49] <PurpleMotion> int he form of mirroring capabilities, yes
[10:49] <george___> interesting
[10:49] <george___> new 160 hds
[10:49] <george___> i try lvm
[10:50] <PurpleMotion> have fun
[10:50] <george___> if error i fooking glueing hds
[10:50] <PurpleMotion> questiont hough
[10:50] <george___> purple have fun meaning good or bad?
[10:50] <lunitik> PurpleMotion, I've never seen anything refering to that...  Why George?
[10:53] <PurpleMotion> :D
[10:54] <knowledge> Good night everyone....
[10:54] <george___> anyway to get raid or lvm to work?
[10:54] <lunitik> vdm, X-Chat > Server List > *anyserver* > Edit > there
[10:54] <se7enone> night?
[10:54] <george___> no way?
[10:54] <george___> i need to
[10:54] <PurpleMotion> why do they have to be on one hd? why not put four on one, and four on the toher
[10:54] <ach> topyli: I get the login screen and put in username and pw but after this it crashes
[10:54] <george___> i can't
[10:54] <vdm> lunitik, Aaah, thats why i didnt find it =)  Cheers
[10:54] <george___> it has to be together
[10:54] <george___> or the file won't run
[10:54] <lunitik> vdm, you're welcome
[10:54] <topyli> ach: yep. you need to clean up after the crashed session
[10:55] <knowledge> thanks selinium, Madpilot, lunitik, and topyli ....
[10:55] <george___> purple can u give me a guide on how to raid

[10:55] <george___> no no
[10:55] <lunitik> PurpleMotion, teach it  :)
[10:56] <PurpleMotion> george___:  go to tldp.org and search for raid and lvm
[10:56] <george___> nefermind
[10:56] <george___> it's 5
[10:56] <PurpleMotion> lunitik:  as soon as i find it ont he wiki, i intend to

[10:56] <george___> i already read raid
[10:56] <george___> at that site
[10:56] <Madpilot> george___: when you're away and sober, check this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/RAID1
[10:56] <Madpilot> *awake
[10:56] <topyli> ach: your files in /tmp, .Xauthority in your home dir, at least
[10:57] <PurpleMotion> ubotu raid is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto
[10:57] <ubotu> PurpleMotion: okay
[10:57] <Yagisan> Madpilot. RAID is broken in hoary. see http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4944
[10:58] <Madpilot> Yagisan: will read.  My "fix" is last comment on bug report
[10:59] <Madpilot> PurpleMotion: write it and post it! ;)
[10:59] <george___> purple can u help
[10:59] <george___> i still get that error
[10:59] <PurpleMotion> is it alright to plagerize(sp)?
[10:59] <george___> what?
[10:59] <topyli> ach: see above, i seem to be talking to myself :)
[10:59] <PurpleMotion> can I rip a HowTo from elsewhere, doctor it with the right apt-get's, and post it?
[10:59] <george___> the ext3 file system creating in partition 2 of raid0 device 0 failed
[10:59] <Yagisan> lunitik: RAID1 is mirror
[10:59] <lunitik> PurpleMotion, so long as its correct, I don't see why not  :)
[10:59] <george___> that's the error message
[10:59] <george___> the ext3 file system creating in partition 2 of raid0 device 0 failed
[11:00] <PurpleMotion> right on, im on it
[11:00] <george___> that the message
[11:00] <PurpleMotion> been wanting a reason to get myself on the wiki :D
[11:00] <george___> why it giving me that message
[11:00] <lunitik> Yagisan, bah... that makes RAID0 stripped then huh?
[11:00] <ach> topyli: do you mean that I have to delete the files in my home/tmp directory?
[11:00] <george___> the ext3 file system creating in partition 2 of raid0 device 0 failed
[11:00] <george___> grr
[11:00] <george___> why
[11:00] <Seveas> george___, stop it
[11:00] <Yagisan> lunitik: Yes.
[11:00] <Seveas> you're being obnoxious
[11:00] <PurpleMotion> george___:  silly question... have you PARTITIONED these disks?
[11:00] <lunitik> Yagisan, k, good  :)
[11:00] <george___> yes
[11:00] <topyli> ach: no. from /tmp, your orbit and gconfd directories
[11:00] <PurpleMotion> both of them?
[11:00] <george___> yes RAID VOLUME
[11:00] <Madpilot> PurpleMotion: you'll want to check license/copyright - don't be too blatant, in other words...
[11:01] <PurpleMotion> Madpilot:  right on.
[11:01] <topyli> ach: and $HOME/.Xauthority
[11:01] <george___> so hdb it raid 160 primary
[11:01] <george___> hda is raid 160 primary
[11:01] <george___> now do i go into software raid?
[11:01] <george___> what kinda raid?
[11:01] <Madpilot> PurpleMotion: heck, if you find a good resource, contact the author & ask permission to borrow & adapt for the Ubuntu wiki. they might well say yes.
[11:01] <george___> RAID0, RAID1,
[11:02] <george___> which raid
[11:02] <Yagisan> people - before setting up RAID in hoary, look at the bug report I posted. You will waste hours if you don't
[11:02] <lunitik> george___, why do you want to use RAID? you don't seem like you'd have data thats important enough (no offense intended)
[11:02] <PurpleMotion> I'll tell them I did it, and add that if they'd like me to remove it, I'd be happy to
[11:02] <chrisq> too bad i didnt go here before upgrading to breezy :)
[11:02] <Seveas> george___, stop being obnoxious and bringing noise in the channel - get back when you're sober....
[11:02] <vladuz976> can anyone help me? my ubuntu keeps freezing, it's completely unusable
[11:02] <george___> fuck u
[11:02] <lunitik> chrisq, haha
[11:03] <lunitik> vladuz976, breezy?
[11:03] <vladuz976> lunitik: no hoary
[11:03] <Seveas> vladuz976, at which point does it freeze?
[11:03] <PurpleMotion> Seveas:  he's having quite a hard time gluing his drives together
[11:03] <Yagisan> vladuz976: D you have nvidia drivers ?
[11:03] <Madpilot> PurpleMotion: ask first, it's the better thing to do.
[11:03] <vladuz976> Seveas: no pattern really
[11:03] <lunitik> Seveas, you're an op too? or just being funny  :P
[11:03] <vladuz976> Yagisan: yes
[11:03] <Seveas> PurpleMotion, he's giving the channel quite a hard time with his behaviour....
[11:03] <ach> topyli: I'm new to this, please explain further
[11:03] <Seveas> gorilla_, we don't vote about that...
[11:04] <PurpleMotion> ubotu lvm is (for the moment) http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
[11:04] <ubotu> okay, PurpleMotion
[11:04] <vladuz976> this freezing just started today
[11:04] <PurpleMotion> !raid
[11:04] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, raid is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto
[11:04] <PurpleMotion> !lvm
[11:04] <ubotu> well, lvm is (for the moment) http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
[11:04] <Buffy_stufd> george - sleep deprived - get some rest. - we'll all be here and happy to help. :)
[11:04] <PurpleMotion> there we go
[11:04] <lunitik> vladuz976, you install anything knew today?
[11:04] <vladuz976> lunitik: yes mutt and fetchmail
[11:04] <Seveas> vladuz976, anything special you did today before it started?
[11:04] <Yagisan> vladuz976: Renderaccell has a bug. Memory leak and crashes. If you enabled it in xorg.conf, diable it
[11:04] <vladuz976> Yagisan: disable the Rendering
[11:04] <Seveas> Yagisan, please add that to the wikipage about nvidia
[11:05] <pax> anyone knows how to flush mail in queu?
[11:05] <Yagisan> Seveas: Where is page, and how do i edit ?
[11:05] <topyli> ach: ok. do ctrl-alt-F2 to get a console. then do 'rm -rf /tmp gconfd-<youruser> /tmp/orbit-<youruser> /home/<youruser>/.Xauthority' (no quotes of course)
[11:05] <Seveas> Yagisan, i'll do it ;)
[11:05] <topyli> ach: then do ctrl-alt-F7 to get back to gdm
[11:05] <selinium> is it possible to read your mbox file with thunderbird or similar?
[11:06] <lunitik> selinium, yes... configure it to do local and point it there...
[11:06] <Yagisan> Seveas: Option          "RenderAccel"   "false"
[11:06] <vladuz976> Yagisan: just comment out that one line?
[11:06] <topyli> ach: an oh, you have to login to that F2 console of course :)
[11:06] <selinium> lunitik: cool. Cheers
[11:06] <vladuz976> Yagisan: what about the one underneath? "allowGLXwithcomposite"
[11:06] <Yagisan> vladuz976: I specifically make it false ie Option          "RenderAccel"   "false"
[11:07] <topyli> ach: be sure to make no typos when using 'rm -rf'
[11:07] <Yagisan> vladuz976: never tried allowGLXwithcomposite
[11:07] <lunitik> Yagisan, you realize those spaces are just to make it pretty, right?  :P
[11:07] <globule> Hi !
[11:08] <lunitik> !hi globule
[11:08] <vladuz976> Yagisan: what does allowGLXwith composite do? i don't even know why it's enabled
[11:08] <ubotu> No idea, lunitik
[11:08] <topyli> ach: i just made a typo it's /tmp/gconfd-<youruser> of course
[11:08] <Yagisan> lunitik: yeah, I just grabed the output from grep and pasted
[11:08] <Tauop> hi
[11:08] <lunitik> damnit
[11:08] <globule> lut ! lunitik  :)
[11:08] <selinium> Could someone put a safe sources.list page up on wiki? I'd do it but I don't know what is safe! :)
[11:08] <Tauop> I have an error with dpkg -i (error 127). How can I know how to solve this error ? How can I have more information on the error ?
[11:08] <lunitik> selinium, there was one
[11:09] <Coss> Hello
[11:09] <Yagisan> vladuz976: lets you run glx games with the composite extension loaded. They normally conflict. It's listed in the nvidia docs.
[11:09] <Coss> Im sitting at windows and want to try ubuntu out, how do i install it (i have downloaded the .iso)? and how to set it so windows doesnt start?
[11:10] <Bubbling_Zombie> Coss when you install ubuntu it'll install a program that will give you the choice between ubuntu and your windows
[11:10] <lunitik> !install
[11:10] <ubotu> parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about, lunitik
[11:10] <topyli> selinium: feel free to use mine as a template: http://siltala.net/sources.list . everything below the ## UNOFFICIAL line is unsafe. also, the breezy and debian sources are unnecessary
[11:10] <lunitik> !botslap
[11:10] <ubotu> Wish i knew, lunitik
[11:11] <lunitik> !lart ubotu
[11:11] <lunitik> stupid bot
[11:11] <Coss> yeah but how do i install ubuntu?  :S i cant mount the cd
[11:11] <lunitik> Coss, you don't mount it... you restart the machine
[11:11] <Madpilot> :) I didn't know ubotu could do actions. cool!
[11:11] <Magdeburger> linux for human beeings, lunitik *g*
[11:11] <tikka> anyone here got an ati graphics card working with good screen redraw rates? (mine is sucking bad)
[11:11] <Coss> lunitik, where do i lay it?
[11:11] <lunitik> Coss, umm... in the CD drive?
[11:12] <ach> Topyli: The Gnome session manager (process 7187) has crashed due to fatal error (segmentation fault) error number has changed, I'm looking at the details
[11:12] <selinium> topyli: Cheers, there are plenty of HOWTO's on changing the sources.list file. But not one that says, use this for this, use this for that, use this to break your ubuntu.... :)
[11:12] <topyli> selinium: the real url is http://siltala.net/comp/sources.list , sorry
[11:12] <Coss> i dont have it on cd
[11:12] <tikka> glxgears says, "1846 frames in 5.0 seconds = 369.200 FP".
[11:12] <selinium> topyli: cheers
[11:12] <lunitik> Coss, then it might help to burn it on to one
[11:12] <ZincX> lol
[11:12] <Coss> you must?
[11:12] <Yagisan> anyone here with a powerpc hoary pbuilder setup ?
[11:13] <lunitik> Coss, I suppose not... no... only if you want to install it...
[11:13] <Coss> hehe
[11:13] <topyli> ach: hrm. i found that there's also a .gconfd directory in your home dir. so, in addition to the others, you may have to delete that too
[11:14] <topyli> ach: if removing all those doesn't help, your problem lies elsewhere. then perhaps it's easiest to reboot
[11:14] <Madpilot> selinium: there actually is a wiki page called BreakMyUbuntu - look it up! ;)
[11:15] <lunitik> Madpilot, all it need say right now is "Upgrade to Breezy"
[11:16] <Madpilot> lunitik: yeah, probably!
[11:17] <selinium> Madpilot: I have seen this before in my travels through the wiki in search of sources.
[11:17] <ach> topyli: I'm rebooting, lets see
[11:17] <topyli> ach: good luck
[11:18] <PurpleMotion> that's right
[11:18] <PurpleMotion> I am a pimp
[11:19] <ach> topyli, I'm embarresed to say that all I needed was to reboot. I have worked too much with windows I guess
[11:20] <ach> topyli, thanx
[11:20] <topyli> ach: it certainly wasn't necessary. we just weren't able to fix the real problem
[11:21] <topyli> ach: sometimes we just have to admit it :)
[11:22] <Yagisan> topyli: I notice you have a few games listed in your sources.list
[11:22] <Sionide> hrm
[11:22] <Sionide> why do i get no sound when playing stuff on flash?
[11:22] <topyli> Yagisan: yeah, unstable releases of some niceties
[11:23] <selinium> whats the command line that tell you what chipset you are using. (686) I can't find it :(
[11:23] <daniellewis> hello, can Ubuntu run on an ntfs drive? I have heard that RedHat can't, but can Ubuntu do it?
[11:23] <topyli> Yagisan: wormux for example doesn't work on my box at all :)
[11:24] <Buffy_stufd> !flash
[11:24] <ubotu> it has been said that flash is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[11:24] <Sionide> daniellewis, doubt it, linux support for ntfs is dodgy at best at the moment - i can access my ntfs hard disk, but i cannot write to it
[11:24] <Buffy_stufd> :/ - not much help there...
[11:25] <Sionide> *shrug*
[11:25] <Sionide> it works
[11:25] <parabolize> daniellewis, why do you want to?
[11:25] <Sionide> it runs the animation/whatever it is - but it doesn't give any sound..
[11:25] <Madpilot> Sionide: I think the no-sound prob is due to Macromedia...
[11:25] <Sionide> bah
[11:25] <Sionide> the "settings" window is borked as well
[11:25] <Sionide> doesn't have any writing on it
[11:25] <daniellewis> I was hoping to set up a dual boot Windows XP with Ubuntu.
[11:26] <Madpilot> daniellewis: you can. just not entirely on NTFS drives
[11:26] <Sionide> daniellewis, you can do that - just format the ubuntu partition as ext3
[11:26] <daniellewis> Madpilot & Sionide, hmmm ok, I'll have to check that out.
[11:27] <Sionide> if you put the ubuntu cd in and reboot, it'll try and install in the free space
[11:27] <Sionide> and will create its own partition
[11:27] <Madpilot> daniellewis: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo
[11:27] <daniellewis> thanks
[11:27] <ZincX> whats DNS-howto link ?
[11:28] <Buffy_stufd> selenium - is uname -a what you wanted? - linux version and kernel?
[11:28] <Sionide> !dns
[11:28] <ubotu> Sionide: No idea
[11:28] <Sionide> ?
[11:28] <Sionide> *shrug*
[11:28] <ZincX> :S
[11:28] <Sionide> !macromedia
[11:28] <ubotu> No idea, Sionide

[11:33] <Madpilot> *ever
[11:33] <ZincX> oh..
[11:33] <zever> GudyUbuntu, have you enabled universe
[11:34] <Sionide> oh yeah oops
[11:34] <Sionide> i was reading the wrong column
[11:34] <Sionide> so
[11:34] <Sionide> 1.0.6 is useable ??
[11:34] <ZincX> i use 1.0.6 .. but no troubles so far
[11:34] <zever> Sionide, i use it, never had problems with it
[11:34] <shad0w1e> how do I edit the K menu for "all users" ?

[11:35] <zever> GudyUbuntu, have you done an update (sudo apt-get update)
[11:35] <Madpilot> GudyUbuntu: check the URL that ubotu just provided ^^^
[11:35] <GudyUbuntu> will do that , zever : I'm using synaptic
[11:36] <Madpilot> GudyUbuntu: just hit the "Reload" button in Synaptic, then
[11:37] <GudyUbuntu> ha, they were disabled, the link was usefull :)
[11:37] <stjepan> heya
[11:37] <stjepan> I want to test my memory
[11:37] <stjepan> how to do that?
[11:38] <stjepan> my Ubuntu system often crashes
[11:38] <Buffy_stufd> memtest386 - isn't it?

[11:38] <daniellewis> oooh, I like the ShipIt thing. Free is always good
[11:38] <stjepan> my Ubuntu system freezes
[11:38] <stjepan> every 30 mins
[11:38] <stjepan> about 30 mins
[11:38] <stjepan> :(
[11:39] <stjepan> what is the problem?
[11:39] <Madpilot> stjepan: when I had very similar probs, it was my motherboard, not my RAM...
[11:39] <stjepan> I have 352 mB of RAN
[11:39] <stjepan> RAM
[11:39] <Madpilot> daniellewis: order a dozen, and infect your friends & family with Ubuntu
[11:39] <stjepan> Madpilot: so, what should I do?
[11:39] <Madpilot> stjepan: can you test your RAM in someone else's computer first?
[11:39] <daniellewis> Madpilot: will do
[11:39] <ZincX> is there anyway i can have RDNS without contacting my isp /
[11:40] <stjepan> but Windows xp works ok
[11:41] <Madpilot> stjepan: new computer?
[11:41] <stjepan> well
[11:41] <stjepan> no
[11:41] <stjepan> it has 1.7 GHz
[11:41] <stjepan> and
[11:41] <stjepan> it is old
[11:41] <stjepan> few years
[11:41] <ValheruLord> what was the name of the default gnome theme of ubuntu?
[11:41] <stjepan> three, I think
[11:42] <Madpilot> ValheruLord: Human, I think
[11:42] <pax> anyone using kxdocker in ubuntu?
[11:42] <stjepan> ValheruLord: Human
[11:42] <gorilla_> Valandil, Madpilot sound about right :-)
[11:42] <gorilla_> grrr... I hate auto-complete :-(
[11:43] <stjepan> so?
[11:43] <Valandil> *ggg*
[11:43] <hayden> if i mounted a smb share using Places->Connect to Server->SMB, how can i eject/unmount it once im done?
[11:43] <anacron> auto-complete is great
[11:43] <Madpilot> stjepan: not sure what to suggest then. try a new install of Ubuntu, and double-check the CDs your using?
[11:43] <stjepan> hot to check?
[11:43] <stjepan> how do you mean?
[11:43] <Madpilot> tab-complete is great, but it's untrustworthy & you need to keep hitting TAB sometimes!
[11:43] <Madpilot> ;)
[11:44] <Madpilot> stjepan: did you burn your own install CD for Ubuntu?
[11:44] <stjepan> no
[11:44] <stjepan> oh
[11:44] <stjepan> I have to go
[11:44] <stjepan> sry
[11:44] <Madpilot> stjepan: np - later
[11:44] <stjepan> ok
[11:44] <stjepan> see you
[11:44] <Buffy_stufd> TAB! >> TAB! >> TAB! Ah i see it. - :)
[11:44] <GudyUbuntu> still no luck
[11:44] <GudyUbuntu> haaaa
[11:44] <GudyUbuntu> maybe there's no wine for AMD64?
[11:45] <hayden> dw i found how to unmount
[11:45] <Madpilot> I'm off to sleep myself - have fun, everyone
[11:45] <Buffy_stufd> gudyubuntu - there is wine on 64 - it is a bit more complicated. - google "wine chroot"
[11:45] <gorilla_> nn Madpilot
[11:46] <GudyUbuntu> Buffy_stufd: thanks ... I love complicated things
[11:46] <Buffy_stufd> lol - good to have a sense of humor. ;)
[11:47] <GudyUbuntu> (I truely understand now why it was a mistake to install that 64bits ubuntu, I'm pretty sure the 32bits would have worked great, with much less problems ..)
[11:48] <Buffy_stufd> gudyUbuntu - was really hoping it would be easy too. been eyeing a new machine.

[11:50] <GudyUbuntu> I guess you know it already :)
[11:50] <GudyUbuntu> found it with your google search
[11:50] <Buffy_stufd> Thanks :)   (bookmarked)
[11:51] <GudyUbuntu> brb, rebooting
[11:52] <ElVirolo> any ideas guys ?
[11:53] <Buffy_stufd> Elviro - i am pretty new to this. - just wondering does this problem last after killing and restarting gnome-panel? or a reboot?
[11:53] <Buffy_stufd> *shrug*
[11:54] <Buffy_stufd> ubotu are you stoned?
[11:54] <ubotu> Buffy_stufd: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[11:56] <Buffy_stufd> ubotu what do you know?
[11:56] <ubotu> What what?
[11:56] <Bubbling_Zombie> mmm. I'm going through my synaptic and i notice the  description (title) for ubuntu-docs is the same as ubuntu-quickguide. Who should i contact for that?
[11:56] <Buffy_stufd> !list
[11:56] <ubotu> [list]  at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuFactoids
[11:57] <selinium> I have an old Athlon 900 chip in my machine. If i uname -m it returns i686? If this is my hardware name should it not be K7 or something?
[11:58] <jade> hello :)
[11:59] <jade> anyone about who can tell me how to add another ethernet connection in ubuntu?
[11:59] <Buffy_stufd> selinium - kinda quiet huh?
[11:59] <jade> do i need to download kernel sources and compile a new kernel? or should the module exist?
[11:59] <selinium> Buffy_stufd: i think everyone has gone to bed! :D
[12:00] <Buffy_stufd> jade another connection for connection sharing?
[12:00] <Buffy_stufd> "port forwarding"?
[12:01] <jade> Buffy_stufd: yeah u could say that. i just put the new NIC in
[12:01] <jade> its so my tivo can go get tv guides
[12:01] <jade> :)
[12:02] <Buffy_stufd> jade - you want Ubuntu to route traffic through it to another machine on your LAN? right?
[12:02] <jade> Buffy_stufd: yerp
[12:03] <jade> Buffy_stufd: i put the new card in. but system -> administration -> networking isnt showing the new card
[12:03] <Buffy_stufd> NP - there are a bunch of spiffy one line "echo" commands to do it. - alas i am a newb. - heh. - i use "Firestarter" firewall to configure it. a nice GUI.
[12:03] <jade> ahh ok, whats the backend? iptables?
[12:03] <Buffy_stufd> jade - lspci will tell you if the machine sees it.
[12:04] <Buffy_stufd> ls = list pci = pci devices
[12:04] <jade> hmm two ethernet conrtollers there
[12:04] <Buffy_stufd> yes.
[12:06] <jade> apparently the modules is loaded too\
[12:06] <jade> haha
[12:06] <casperl> re ubuntu + palm zire 31 - I have got it working - solution can be found in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54025 Thanx all!
[12:06] <Buffy_stufd> insmod something.    newb like me gets lost after that. - sry.
[12:06] <omega_> Hello, I'm trying to install DivX for Linux, but I don't really know how to use the files I've downloaded.
[12:06] <jade> tis cool Buffy_stufd
[12:07] <omega_> Like, I've downloaded and untarred the package, and tried running it in the terminal by going to the directory and using ./install.sh
[12:07] <omega_> It tries to install, I guess, but it keeps getting permission errors
[12:07] <omega_> (I'm very new to all of this, so I'm probably doing it wrong.)
[12:08] <Buffy_stufd> sudo?
[12:08] <omega_> When I use sudo, nothing seems to happen. There's no output.
[12:08] <zever> omega_, why not use w32codecs and mplayer to use DivX
[12:09] <omega_> I didn't even know that was possible. I just googled for "divx on linux" and tried the first two links which both led to that package.
[12:09] <Buffy_stufd> vlc "video lan" is also very nice cross platform.
[12:09] <omega_> So if I just wanted to play a DivX movie in Totem, I could also download the w32 codec?
[12:10] <expose> hi
[12:10] <zever> omega_, dunno
[12:10] <expose> is wine included within the CD?
[12:10] <Buffy_stufd> omega - i use totem-xine
[12:10] <Buffy_stufd> xine is another vide player.
[12:10] <omega_> Buffy_stufd: what's the difference between that and the regular Totem? Does it include codecs by default?
[12:11] <zever> omega_, i think you need to have gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg to play divx on totem
[12:11] <selinium> omega_ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats?highlight=%28restricted%29
[12:11] <Buffy_stufd> ffmpeg is the decoder i think.
[12:11] <omega_> Thanks, I'll try that.
[12:11] <Buffy_stufd> !codecs
[12:11] <ubotu> it has been said that codecs is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[12:12] <Buffy_stufd> !dvdcss
[12:12] <ubotu> Buffy_stufd: I haven't a clue
[12:12] <Buffy_stufd> !xine
[12:12] <ubotu> I don't know, Buffy_stufd
[12:12] <Buffy_stufd> !video
[12:12] <ubotu> Buffy_stufd: Are you smoking crack?
[12:12] <selinium> Buffy_stufd: I take it if you !something the bot tries to answer?
[12:13] <Buffy_stufd> yes
[12:13] <osfameron> it's for automated filesharing?
[12:13] <Seveas> Buffy_stufd, please don't play/experiment with the bot
[12:13] <Seveas> if you want to do that, do it in a private chat
[12:13] <Buffy_stufd> Pardon me Seveas. - just checking for a list of dvd players
[12:14] <Seveas> totem is good at it
[12:14] <Seveas> as is mplayer
[12:14] <Seveas> and i'm sure there are lots of others too :)
[12:14] <Buffy_stufd> totem is okay. - it doesn't seem to work without a little downloading though.
[12:15] <selinium> Seveas: when trying to choose an image i keyed uname -m and got the result -686. I am on an athlon and expected to see k7? am i wrong?
[12:16] <selinium> Buffy_stufd: I find both packages work well.
[12:16] <Buffy_stufd> great! :)
[12:16] <selinium> Buffy_stufd: Even on my 900 chip!
[12:16] <Seveas> selinium, uname only tells you which kernel you installed
[12:16] <Seveas> selinium, you probably installed linux-686 already ;)
[12:17] <omega_> This seems pretty difficult, on the RestrictedFormats wiki page.
[12:17] <omega_> Is it really necessary that I do all that universe/multiverse stuff just to install DivX?
[12:17] <Seveas> yup
[12:17] <Seveas> even worse: you need stuff from outside the repositories
[12:17] <hayden> is there a vpn client for gnome ?
[12:17] <hayden> with a gui
[12:18] <selinium> Seveas: cheers, i htought the -m flag printed the machine hardware name. I take it this is renamed after the image is installed.
[12:18] <omega_> Things such as DivX, which are so frequently used by so many people, should just be made repositories which can be grabbed with Synaptic.
[12:18] <Bubbling_Zombie> why not use xvid?
[12:18] <Seveas> omega_, that's impossible
[12:18] <omega_> If the XviD FourCC can decode DivX, then I will.
[12:18] <Seveas> all kinds of patent/legal problems
[12:19] <omega_> Seveas: ah, I see. Too bad.
[12:19] <Buffy_stufd> omega - DVD encryption is "patented" until 2 weeks ago having it on your server could get you an invitation to court.
[12:20] <Buffy_stufd> the judges for the moment seem to understand "Fair use"
[12:20] <hayden> is there a vpn client with a gui that i can install (not from source)
[12:21] <selinium> Buffy_stufd: I think if you buy a DVD or a CD you should be able to use it wherever you like. It is one of the reasons for a switch to linux. I can play/rip all my CD's
[12:22] <Buffy_stufd> selinium - dunno what they were thinking. - we buy cds and dvds not lease the content.
[12:23] <selinium> haydn: try http://govpn.clubnix.net/
[12:23] <selinium> haydn: GoVPN
[12:23] <omega_> I guess I'll just get mplayer.
[12:23] <hayden> ok thanks selinium
[12:23] <Bubbling_Zombie> is there anybody who uses anjuta?
[12:24] <selinium> Buffy_stufd: I started to refuse to buy copy protected CD's. Actually they are not CD's the chap who owns the CD patent disagrees witht the copy protection and will not allow them to be called CD's LOL
[12:25] <Buffy_stufd> selinium - huh? - didn't know that. :)
[12:25] <Raptoid> selamlar.
[12:25] <concept10_> how do i show the list of cron jobs scheduled to take place?
[12:25] <concept10_> right now /usr/bin/updatedb is running
[12:26] <Seveas> cat /etc/crontab /etc/cron*/*
[12:26] <Buffy_stufd> always someone trying a fast buck. read about a court fight where a stranger patented "Linux" apparently linus torvaldis thought everyone was ethical.
[12:27] <concept10_> Seveas, thanks.  BTW what is updatedb for ?
[12:27] <Buffy_stufd> the name linux was for a time owned by someone who had never written a line of kernel code.
[12:28] <Buffy_stufd> updatedb - makes a list of all files on the disk much faster to find things that way.
[12:28] <omega_> This is too confusing. I can't even download mplayer.
[12:29] <selinium> omega_ Go private and i will talk you through it.
[12:29] <PurpleMotion> that sucked
[12:29] <Buffy_stufd> omega. - vlc - if it doesn't work on first try. i'll double your money back. - ;)
[12:29] <PurpleMotion> where'd he go
[12:29] <elvirolo> hi again
[12:30] <antix> can I make a copy of one ubuntu installation to another harddisk somehow?
[12:30] <elvirolo> i installed the ckearlocks-serenity theme, but it just doesn't come on when I choose it in the theme preferences
[12:30] <Buffy_stufd> antix - sure the tar command
[12:31] <hayden> selinium, what other programs do i need to install for govpn to work?
[12:31] <Buffy_stufd> antix dd or partimage is another option.
[12:31] <andii> new to this ... anyone an idea in why I can't find Wordpress in menus after downloading it with Synaptic?
[12:31] <selinium> hayden: I do not run VPN i just pointed you in the direction of a gui vpn.
[12:31] <hayden> oh ok
[12:31] <hayden> i thought you use it
[12:32] <antix> Buffy_stufd, but does that work for all files? do I have to boot on another partition so files are not in use?
[12:32] <Buffy_stufd> antix - you're right much better to copy a disk that isn't in use.
[12:34] <antix> Buffy_stufd, ok maybe I should test partimage sounds like what I need :)
[12:35] <concept10_> andii, you think you may run wordpress that way?
[12:36] <andii> well I did ...
[12:37] <cyphase> what's the resolv.sonf syntax to make a domain such as one.two.com point to a computer in the network?
[12:38] <concept10_> andii, wordpress the blog/content manager?
[12:38] <andii> never seen wordpress in use, assumed that it was a kind of word processor for blogs
[12:38] <cyphase> concept10_, yea
[12:38] <cyphase> andii, it's a whole blogging application
[12:38] <cyphase> not a "word processor" for blogs
[12:38] <concept10_> I know what wordpress it
[12:38] <concept10_> *is
[12:39] <concept10_> it is a content manager/blog manager that runs on lamp
[12:39] <cyphase> yea, i know
[12:39] <cyphase> i use it :)
[12:39] <andii> so if I've got Wordpress on the HDD, how do I use in and access it?
[12:39] <Sputn1k> how to start my lan card when computer starting? Now i must manualy do that
[12:40] <cyphase> andii, it has to be served by a webserver
[12:40] <andii> use it, that is
[12:40] <andii> k
[12:40] <concept10_> andii, check the wordpress site, they good documentation
[12:40] <andii> k
[12:40] <ZincX> anyone know how to set up bind /
[12:40] <concept10_> *they have (damn im tired)
[12:40] <nophix> andii: you must have apache/php/mysql configured and ready, and then you read the wordpress docs
[12:40] <ZincX> bind9
[12:41] <concept10_> andii, its also better to install the version on the site not in synaptic
[12:41] <andii> ahhh
[12:42] <andii> getting the picture now
[12:43] <Buffy_stufd> andii - wordpress or the name of the app in a terminal wil bring it up. - right click on the desktop and create a new launcher when you know the app name. - devs shorten the name sometis
[12:44] <andii> "wordpress" in terminal doesn't call the prog; I'm wondering what might
[12:44] <nophix> Buffy_stufd: wordpress is not an app
[12:45] <concept10_> andii, its not an application that you run, it is run in conjuction with apache server.
[12:45] <Buffy_stufd> now i am confused. - not too hard really. - lol
[12:45] <concept10_> using mysql
[12:45] <andii> that's what I thought was being said
[12:45] <concept10_> andii, read the site, you will understand better
[12:47] <andii> thanks people, there is an essential piece of conceptual furniture about wordpress now in my head that wasn't before!
[12:47] <Buffy_stufd> remember to dust it occassionally. - ;)
[12:48] <andii> I hope to make more sense of the wordpress site now
[12:48] <Random_Sindrom> $ make sense
[12:52] <hayden> what repository do i get w32codecs from/
[12:53] <selinium> hayden: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats?highlight=%28restricted%29
[12:54] <PurpleMotion> DURING the ubuntu install, between the partition and install options, WHERE does ubuntu mount the filesystemt hat will become / ??
[12:55] <marcus> Could I get a N00Bie run-down on re-setting my XP partition in grub?
[12:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> resetting?
[12:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> PurpleMotion: i think in /target
[12:59] <joerg__> Hi --  im looking for a "diskless ubuntu" solution..
[01:00] <joerg__> I know breezy is going to provide somthing -- but are any ad-hoc solutions known?
[01:01] <marcus> reesetting,,, as in It's not in my boot=up choices
[01:01] <PurpleMotion> Kamping_Kaiser:  tyvm
[01:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> ok.
[01:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> marcus: you have to add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> joerg__: i don't know any
[01:02] <marcus> ok,,,
[01:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> but I'm sure there would be some
[01:02] <marcus> TY muchly Kaiser
[01:02] <joerg__> Kamping_Kaiser: google seems not the way to go :(
[01:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> marcus: give me a minute :O
[01:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> fraid so joerg__
[01:02] <Nermal> PurpleMotion, just typing "mount" should tell you
[01:06] <persia> One of the keys on my keyboard only works on the console.  In X, the results do not match the label on the key.  Could anyone suggest how I could troubleshoot this?
[01:06] <piketer> hola
[01:09] <nekohayo> could someone tell me if the "nicer form widgets" firefox trick still works?
[01:09] <anacron> persia: try something like loadkeys <keymap> ?
[01:09] <nekohayo> can't get it to untar properly
[01:09] <Nameeater> I am trying to get Java to work with Opera, when I try multiple different directories for opera to look in it doesn't work, I installed the jdk, and am wondering if that is the problem, anyone made opera and java work?
[01:10] <nekohayo> Nameeater, not me :P but so you may know, took me 8 months to figure out java with firefox.
[01:10] <Pegasos989> o_O
[01:10] <Nameeater> could you tell me how you got that working? :>
[01:11] <nekohayo> ...... lmao by using the hoary backports, by FULLY using *all* their repositories (did a 1:1 copy of their sources.list)
[01:11] <nekohayo> and then I think it's in ubuntuguide, apt-get install j2rethingy
[01:11] <dimitris> Well a windows user just used my pc and he downloaded an exe file which he double clicked and the computer became unresponsive. I found that the file has a spyware program on it. Is there a chance that my linux box got infected? I use wine so are the fake windows files used by wine ok?
[01:11] <nekohayo> but it worked.
[01:11] <Nameeater> ewy :|
[01:11] <nekohayo> I was shocked x_x
[01:11] <Nameeater> dimitris: its very unlikely
[01:12] <nekohayo> dimitris,
[01:12] <nekohayo> there has been a guy TRYING to install as much virii as he could with wine
[01:12] <nekohayo> they didn't work (99% of time) XD
[01:12] <Pegasos989> Btw. Do I need firewalls etc in this or is this secure enough by itself?
[01:12] <Pegasos989> In ubuntu that is
[01:12] <homer242> hi
[01:12] <Pegasos989> 'lo
[01:12] <nophix> what about the other 1%? :)
[01:12] <lordmansfeld> hi all
[01:13] <homer242> what'is the root password by default ???
[01:13] <nekohayo> Pegasos989, I believe there is no firewall by default, so having one is always nice
[01:13] <Pegasos989> k
[01:13] <nekohayo> homer242, there is no root in ubuntu
[01:13] <joerg__> homer242: there's no root pw
[01:13] <PurpleMotion> there is no root account by default
[01:13] <PurpleMotion> !root
[01:13] <nekohayo> haha
[01:13] <ubotu> methinks root is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[01:13] <dimitris> nekohayo, good to hear :-D
[01:13] <homer242> thanks
[01:13] <joerg__> homer242: use "sudo bash" to get a root shell
[01:13] <Pegasos989> Btw... If I use the livecd and always boot from it...  It is impssible to have adware etc. cuz they all disappear with every boot?
[01:13] <nekohayo> ...hey does someone have a gmail applet that WORKS currently ?
[01:13] <lordmansfeld> you could also use "sudo -s" to have a root shell, i think
[01:14] <nekohayo> I'm like hunting all the way over for one
[01:14] <persia> anacron: There doesn't seem to be a keymap that is appropriate.  The problem started when using System...Preferences...Keyboard Preferences to configure my multimedia keys.  Thanks though - perhaps I'll make a custom keymap...
[01:14] <nekohayo> yes, sudo -s is my fav
[01:14] <nophix> Pegasos989: well, if you don't save any settings somewhere
[01:14] <dimitris> Well i am going to install an antivirus because i use a fat32 partition to make windows communicate with linux just to be sure. I am between clamav and f-prot. Any suggestions? Something easy to use and light on the resources.
[01:14] <anacron> persia: well good luck with that :D
[01:15] <nekohayo> dimitris, the only antivirus now is for deinfecting windows machines, I think
[01:15] <mihaela> windows 95 ..rulz...
[01:15] <anacron> mihaela: are you trying to get bans or what? :D
[01:15] <mihaela> no no..
[01:15] <mihaela> i serios..
[01:15] <mihaela> :)
[01:15] <mihaela> jokeing
[01:15] <omega_> I remember when I went from MS-DOS 1.01 to Windows 95
[01:16] <omega_> I was astonished
[01:16] <cyphase> :)
[01:16] <jtgameover> Seveas lays down the law
[01:16] <Random_Sindrom> he
[01:16] <Seveas> beware :)
[01:16] <nekohayo> I remember when I went from 98 to ME. I was dumbfounded.
[01:16] <dimitris> nekohayo, well since i already have an antivirus in windows then there is no need. Thnx!!!
[01:16] <jtgameover> anyone here use fvwm?
[01:16] <nekohayo> dimitris, for now I guess ^_^;
[01:17] <Random_Sindrom> then wait to see ubuntu 5.10
[01:17] <nekohayo> hmm.. lunchtime
[01:17] <jaegerMeister> hi folks
[01:17] <anacron> jtgameover: is it somekind of tvcard thing?
[01:17] <omega_> It should be said that in the years that I used Windows 98 on my Pentium 60, it barely ever crashed or showed a BSOD.
[01:17] <Random_Sindrom> omega: you are a LUKY guy
[01:17] <jtgameover> anacron, lol no it is a window manager
[01:17] <jtgameover> i just discovered it yesterday
[01:17] <mopatop> hey guys
[01:18] <jtgameover> it is quite possibly the most freakin awesome thing for linux ever
[01:18] <anacron> jtgameover: right... i might have tryed that
[01:18] <omega_> I did get the occasional BSOD, but it was tracable to bogus programs most of the time.
[01:18] <omega_> I barely ever got a hang.
[01:18] <jtgameover> seriously though, if you want to WOW your friends, you gotta go with fvwm
[01:18] <anacron> why?
[01:18] <mopatop> I was wondering - is it possible to use the "fixed" 6x13 font (like Eterm) in GTK2 apps, such as gnome-terminal?
[01:18] <lordmansfeld> is it that good? :)
[01:19] <jtgameover> i mean, i was using openbox/fluxbox before, and that was pretty WOWish
[01:19] <jtgameover> but fvwm sets the gold bar
[01:19] <omega_> That's still mainly also because a Pentium 60 is sort of the speed that Windows 9x was designed for.
[01:19] <jtgameover> the configuration options are tremendous and incredible
[01:19] <omega_> It crashed five times daily when I had it on my Pentium 3 500MHz.
[01:19] <jtgameover> no need for gdesklets, you can essentially write your own stuff
[01:19] <jaegerMeister> i have the following problem : i installed ubuntu on a friends old notebook which unfotunately has no network interface. now i want to install xfce because it needs less ressources than gnome, and the way i want to do this is downloading the xfce .deb's, burn them to cd-rw and install them manually with dpkg -i. now my problem is : where can i find out which xfce-packages i need and where can i download them?
[01:20] <Pegasos989> "To install Wine from the WineHQ APT repository, you need to configure APT to look in the right place for the Wine packages. On Ubuntu systems, and those using the Synaptic Package Manager, this can be done easily by opening up Synaptic and selecting Settings->Repositories." So... Wtf is apt and wtf is this synaptic-thingie
[01:20] <Nameeater> apt-get -d would work
[01:20] <mopatop> I was wondering - is it possible to use the "fixed" 6x13 font (like Eterm) in GTK2 apps, such as gnome-terminal?
[01:21] <Nameeater> that should just dl the packages for you
[01:21] <Pegasos989> I don't understand more than like 2 words from that sentence :S
[01:21] <digitalfox|sleep> Pegasos989, System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
[01:21] <Pegasos989> k, thx
[01:21] <persia> Does anyone know where gnome-control-center keeps the keymaps?  It appears my keyboard is not included, and I'd lke to install a custom map.
[01:23] <mopatop> or does anyone know how I can find out what fontconfig thinks my "Fixed" font is?
[01:23] <Buffy_stufd>  persia /etc/X11/"XORG"? - not too sure - i am new to linux also.
[01:23] <yuacht> hey... i'm trying to use cdemu but i get: [Errno 6]  No such device or address: '/dev/cdemu/0' (command: cdemu 0 foo.cue
[01:24] <jaegerMeister> dimitris: thank you very much, i try that :)
[01:25] <digitalfox|sleep> Ubuntu needs a walkthrough on first startup
[01:25] <digitalfox|sleep> Because I shouldn't have to explain to someone what Synaptic is :(
[01:25] <reisio> well
[01:25] <reisio> most Windows users don't know what a package manager is
[01:26] <reisio> so you'd have to explain that anyways
[01:26] <andrew_> don't you get some pointers on the firefox default start page?
[01:26] <Buffy_stufd> If it isn't so obvious it doesn't need to be explained it's wrong. - the user is always right. - sly grin
[01:27] <Lhea> anyone here have some clue about bootup processes
[01:27] <Buffy_stufd> okay that was trollish.
[01:27] <Lhea> I have a command that I have to type in as root every time I start up ubuntu, and that's not very good for my clueless family :p
[01:28] <joerg__> Lhea: what's your problem?
[01:28] <aCiD2> Hey
[01:28] <Buffy_stufd> Lhea - it can't be added to startup manager?
[01:28] <aCiD2> I just installed Windows, after installing Ubuntu - so its nicely whiped my MBR. How can I reinstall grub?
[01:28] <joerg__> Lhea: There is a directory calles /ect/init.d/
[01:28] <icewt> there's no "debian menu" equivalent in ubuntu? many programs don't appear in the applications menu
[01:28] <Lhea> startup manager doesn't let me specify root commands does it?
[01:28] <aCiD2> icewt - can always add em your self: apt-get install smeg
[01:29] <Buffy_stufd> ect! i hate to type commands.
[01:29] <joerg__> there are start/stop scripts for programs/services which shall be run on boot.
[01:29] <Lhea> I'd need to somehow fit a sudo and all that shit in there
[01:29] <nekohayo> icewt, I've seen the debian menu on my system once
[01:29] <nekohayo> didn't know why
[01:29] <reisio> aCiD2: mind if I /msg ?
[01:29] <persia> aCiD2: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub
[01:29] <icewt> aCiD2, of course. but in debian most of such programs appear in the debian menu
[01:29] <Magicdead> hum has anyone here running an apache2 server with ssl support?
[01:29] <Lhea> it's a command to have my xDSL dial in, and that pptp config thingie does *not* cope with it, it is an individual program
[01:29] <Lhea> hail to my ISP
[01:29] <aCiD2> reisio: sure
[01:29] <reisio> ah bollix
[01:29] <aCiD2> persia - ermm.. I can't get into linux..
[01:29] <nekohayo> maybe because I installed stuff from marillat
[01:29] <reisio> afk
[01:30] <icewt> nekohayo, hm
[01:30] <aCiD2> heheh, msg when your back then
[01:30] <Lhea> and I need to do that with root, I tried with giving all the inet files all the rights with chmod, but the script in one of the files gets into an infinite loop
[01:30] <Lhea> so I need to find another way
[01:30] <andrew_> aCiD2 : can't you boot from a liveCD to repair?
[01:30] <joerg__> Lhea: have a loop at /etc/init.d/ntpdate
[01:30] <Magicdead> can't get ssl support for apache2 working although: Apache/2.0.53 (Ubuntu) mod_perl/1.99_14 Perl/v5.8.4 mod_python/3.1.3 Python/2.4.1 PHP/4.3.10-10ubuntu4 mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7e configured -- resuming normal operations
[01:30] <Buffy_stufd> Lhea - dunno gotta be an easier way huh? - a lot of experimentation and bash script.
[01:30] <nekohayo> sorry I can't help much more
[01:30] <aCiD2> andrew_: I have a gentoo live cd, would that work?
[01:30] <persia> aCiD2: Boot off alternative media (livecd, rescue disk, install CD, usb, etc..
[01:31] <joerg__> Lhea: copy it do /etc/init.d/SHATEVERYOUCALLIT
[01:31] <Lhea> I just can't do shellscripting :S
[01:31] <aCiD2> persia: and that will still work?
[01:31] <Lhea> otherwise I would have written a little program
[01:31] <Lhea> I don't assume you can write a C program for it can you :p
[01:31] <icewt> aCiD2, which reposity should include smeg?
[01:31] <aCiD2> icewt: not sure - I think I got from a .deb actually
[01:31] <aCiD2> icewt: http://www.realistanew.com/projects/smeg/
[01:31] <Buffy_stufd> lol@Lhea not a chance if it isn't a gui it isn't hapenning here.
[01:31] <SquareGuy> hey, i just installed the unoffical win32codec package for debian stable (sarge) and it installed correctly to /usr/lib/win32 but of course totem was unaware of them.  i copied the codes over to ~/.gnome2/totem-addons and chmodded them but totem still complains it doesnt have a codec for wmv.  any ideas?  yes the windows media 9 codec is in ~/.gnome2/totem-addons
[01:31] <Lhea> joerg__ why ntpdate?
[01:32] <nekohayo> SquareGuy, you might want to use totem-xine instead
[01:32] <nekohayo> for now.
[01:32] <joerg__> Lhea: ntpdate is a small/easy shell-script -- you can adopt it to your needss..
[01:32] <icewt> aCiD2, ok, thanks
[01:32] <aCiD2> np
[01:32] <SquareGuy> nekohayo, k ill try it.  thx
[01:32] <persia> aCID2: once you boot, get root, noutn your ubuntu / partition, and `chroot <ubunturoot> /bin/bash`.  Once here, run `mount -a`, and then you should be able to run dpkg-reconfigure.
[01:32] <nekohayo> tell me if it solves it :P
[01:32] <aCiD2> persia - alrighty, Ill give that a shot :)
[01:32] <Lhea> oh no :( is there a scriptless way? something that doesn't require me to read 10 books before I can do it? :S
[01:33] <Lhea> maybe that startup manager can do it
[01:33] <Lhea> but I thought it cannot do root things
[01:33] <Lhea> I really dunno :S
[01:33] <joerg__> Lhea: you looked at ntpdate?
[01:33] <Whistler> can i resize  my ubuntu partition?
[01:33] <Whistler> i wanna add more space
[01:34] <Buffy_stufd> <<- has the ten books. (they make a great chair booster and ammo for shooing cats. - lol)
[01:34] <aCiD2> persia - How can I get root though, I don't know my root password
[01:34] <reisio> Buffy_stufd: ten books on what?
[01:34] <ploum> Hi
[01:34] <aCiD2> woudl sudo'ing work?
[01:34] <ploum> where is this possible to talk about the installer development ?
[01:35] <Pegasos989> How can I watch my completely legally downloaded *sifty eyes* movies in Ubuntu, if I downloaded them in windows to ntfs hard drives.
[01:35] <Buffy_stufd> linux - mostly the black and yellow ones. ya know "X for dummies."?
  I'm not familiar with gentoo, but their website is supposed to have decent documentation: it ought to tell you how to get root on the livecd.
[01:35] <nekohayo> hey btw ... anyone have an idea _when_ gstreamer will provide some.. decent codecs to totem gstreamer?
[01:35] <nekohayo> Whistler, sure is possible
[01:35] <nekohayo> now.. as to why... I am not really knowledgeable about this :P
[01:35] <nekohayo> how*
[01:35] <ploum> Pegasos989: you can mount, but read-only, your NTFS partition
[01:35] <nekohayo> aCiD2, there'S no root password
[01:35] <nekohayo> use sudo with your password
[01:35] <Pegasos989> k
[01:35] <nekohayo> sudo -s can give you a root terminal
[01:36] <aCiD2> ah, ok
[01:36] <ploum> Pegasos989: I don't remember, but it's in the documentation
[01:36] <Buffy_stufd> !rootsudo
[01:36] <ubotu> I guess rootsudo is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[01:36] <Whistler> cause i wanna add more space to ubuntu partition and i dont know how
[01:36] <nekohayo> heheh
[01:36] <Whistler> any ideas?
[01:36] <Whistler> can i use gparted?
[01:36] <j2dope> hi. when my wireless connection goes down, i cannot get it back up without rebooting. any ideas?
[01:36] <aCiD2> time to try this then...
[01:36] <Pegasos989> So if i want to edit them, I need to... *gulp*  Format the whole thing and make it some other than ntfs? :S
[01:36] <Lhea> joerg__, I assume init.d contains all the processes that are run at bootup?
[01:36] <j2dope> i've tried /etc/init.d/networking restart            but no luck
[01:36] <SquareGuy> ahhh now im finally watching the e3 video for serious sam 2
[01:36] <aCiD2> dpkg-reconfigure grub, right?
[01:37] <Buffy_stufd> Whistler - qtparted is very similar to partition agic.
[01:37] <j2dope> anyone? it sucks having to reboot every 30mins
[01:37] <Buffy_stufd> erm magic
[01:37] <jade> j2dope: ifconfig wlan0 down
[01:37] <persia> aCiD2: that's my memory.  If that doesn't work, you might try loading aptitude, and choosing to reinstall grub ('L' key).
[01:37] <jade> j2dope: then
[01:37] <jade> ifconfig wlan0 up
[01:37] <jade> try that
[01:37] <j2dope> jade, my connection is eth1
[01:38] <joerg__> Lhea: party correct -- you need a link in /etc/rc2.d/Sxy to your script in init.d
[01:38] <j2dope> and i've tried that yes. no luck at all
[01:38] <jade> doh :\
[01:38] <Buffy_stufd> SquareGuy is there a loki installer for SS2?
[01:38] <joerg__> Lhea: but /etc/init.d/ hosts all scripts --
[01:38] <SquareGuy> j2dope, i would try ifconfig wlan0 down / ifconfig wlan0 up / dhclient wlan0
[01:38] <Nameeater> wohoo I got java & opera working :D
[01:38] <j2dope> it's a very sucky problem. i have no idea what causes it. the wireless router runs fine under windows
[01:38] <Lhea> yeh, was about to ask how the folder would know the order in which to proceed at bootup :p
[01:38] <jade> anyone know how i can get a second ethernet card to come up?
[01:38] <reisio> Nameeater: wow, shame they both suck :/ :p
[01:38] <SquareGuy> Buffy_stufd, from what i understand ss2 will have linux binaries
[01:39] <joerg__> Lhea: Lines 5-13 in ntpdate check if ntpdate exists ... you can delete them..
[01:39] <Lhea> joerg: are you trying to say I should modify this ntpdate file and save it with the same name?
[01:39] <j2dope> dhclient eh... ill see what that says
[01:39] <joerg__> Lhea: NOP
[01:39] <Nameeater> reisio: I could say, so does your face, but im too happy! :)
[01:39] <joerg__> Lhea: copy it to a diffrent name!
[01:39] <Lhea> but then I'd have to update Sxy too if I make a different file!
[01:39] <Buffy_stufd> Hey! now thats the way to do it!
[01:39] <reisio> Nameeater: heheh
[01:39] <j2dope> SquareGuy, what does dhclient do exactly? i see i have to run it as root
[01:40] <reisio> j2dope: dhcp, maybe?
[01:40] <SquareGuy> j2dope, thats what grabs a dhcp address from your network
[01:40] <jade> reisio: trying to get second ethernet card to show up as eth1 on the ubuntu setup (gf's computer)
[01:40] <jade> i can do all the configuration requierd in gentoo
[01:40] <joerg__> hno73:: correct .. firet create a new script in /etc/init.d -- and then make a link to it by "ln -s /etc/init.d/YourScrip /etc/rc2.d/S20YourScript"
[01:40] <jade> but put me in front of ubuntu and im lost
[01:40] <j2dope> ahh K. lol well ill try it now. if it works, i wont be back... otherwise expect me back in 2mins after a rebboot :) peace
[01:40] <jade> :P
[01:40] <reisio> jade: so do it in Gentoo, goof :P
[01:41] <triplah_> reisio: i wish i had the time to stay at my gf's and configure gentoo for her
[01:41] <mopatop> hey, does anyone know how I can change my window manager to Enlightenment?
[01:41] <triplah_> but i dont :P
[01:41] <SquareGuy> Buffy_stufd, its a 30 minute video from e3 on ss2 goto www.croteam.com and poke around
[01:41] <reisio> triplah_: well I can think of some things to do while it's compiling...
[01:41] <Buffy_stufd> mopatop - !xwindows ubotu has a link
[01:41] <reisio> triplah_: I'm sure someone here must know how to do it with Ubuntu, anyways
[01:42] <triplah_> reisio: rofl
[01:42] <triplah_> hmm
[01:42] <triplah_> u'd think so :\
[01:42] <mopatop> Buffy_stufd, sorry I don't understand
[01:42] <reisio> :/
[01:42] <Buffy_stufd> mopatop - synaptic might already have it tho. - a quick search and one click to install.
[01:42] <triplah_> unfortunatly. ubuntu aint quite the enthusiasts ditro
[01:42] <Buffy_stufd> !xwindows
[01:42] <triplah_> :P
[01:42] <ubotu> hmm... xwindows is Linux freedom Style, User power, or RAM stingy speed Ubuntu linux is what you want it to be. http://xwinman.org/
[01:42] <ZincX> anyone know how to config bind ?
[01:42] <mopatop> ah right
[01:42] <mopatop> Buffy_stufd, cheers
[01:42] <reisio> ubotu: duh..wha?
[01:42] <ubotu> reisio: I don't know, could you explain it?
[01:43] <Buffy_stufd> ;)
[01:43] <reisio> ubotu: explain what X is?
[01:43] <persia> ZincX: Did you decide you didn't like pDNS?  I can help some with bind - how far have you gotten?
[01:43] <sadma1> hi everyone
[01:43] <Lhea> :( joerg__ , thanks for the advice. at least now I know I can't do it unless i'm some unix guru
[01:43] <reisio> sadma1: lo
[01:43] <sadma1> I have a question
[01:43] <sadma1> I've installed snort
[01:43] <sadma1> where can I download free rules ?
[01:43] <ZincX> persia, yes.. lol.. lets see.. i just installed it.
[01:44] <sadma1> from Snort.org , u must paid for all rules :(
[01:44] <persia> ZincX: OK.  And what do you want it to do?
[01:44] <ZincX> persia, i want my ip to be resolved to sasquach.sadasdad.com
[01:44] <sadma1> anyone can help me
[01:44] <sadma1> ?
[01:44] <sadma1> :|
[01:44] <persia> ZincX: globally, or locally?
[01:44] <reisio> pay for rules? :/
[01:45] <Buffy_stufd> !dyndns
[01:45] <ubotu> it has been said that dyndns is http://ubuntuguide.org/#assignhostnametodynamicip
[01:45] <sadma1> yes reisio
[01:45] <sadma1> u can visit snort.org
[01:45] <ZincX> persia, globally
[01:45] <sadma1> if u want to download any rule
[01:45] <sadma1> you must pay for it
[01:45] <sadma1> :(
[01:45] <Buffy_stufd> ZincX - ubotu has the link for you.
[01:45] <persia> ZincX: OK.  Have you already arranged for static IP and domain ownership?
[01:45] <sadma1> snort is free but snort'rule is commercial
[01:45] <sadma1> :(
[01:45] <ZincX> persia, my ip is static.. and domain is mine
[01:46] <selinium> hi all, my xorg config appears to have thrown a wobbly.   How about .107 or .108?
[01:48] <ZincX> njan, i have a controller
[01:48] <ZincX> persia, O_o ?
[01:49] <Buffy_stufd> ZincX - be careful. dns servers are a hacker magnet. - much better to pay someone else for the headache.
[01:49] <ZincX> Buffy_stufd, .. is it ?
[01:49] <blahblah> good morning people
[01:49] <ZincX> Buffy_stufd, im not actually tryin to run a dns server :S
[01:50] <ZincX> just for this very pc
[01:50] <Buffy_stufd> i would never run bind. - if you make a mistake your ISP may be angry enough to ban you.
[01:50] <persia> ZincX: It looks like global registration of the domain belongs to <IP_ADDRESS> and .108, and that they have assigned sasquach to <IP_ADDRESS>.  107 and 108 need to run bind (or another name server), and the configuration needs to be done there.
[01:50] <persia> Buffy_stufd: It's different if you are the ISP...
[01:51] <ZincX> hmm.. there aen ?
[01:51] <ZincX> sheesh..
[01:52] <ZincX> this is hopeless...
[01:53] <persia> ZincX: What exactly are you trying to accomplish: there may be an easier way...
[01:53] <Buffy_stufd> you have your domain name. - halfway there. :) - 15 - $30 a year and somone else will add your name to their list. - did you try the company that sold you the domain name?
[01:53] <ZincX> persia, im tryin to have a vhost wen i connect to irc
[01:53] <McScruff> im running vmware (winxp) in kubuntu and i want to use a usb device on it, but ubuntu has it, how can i stop it in ubuntu so i can use it in vmware
[01:53] <ZincX> i dont use bouncers.. sooo
[01:53] <persia> ZincX: OK.  How do you connect to the internet?
[01:54] <kaffeend> can anyone help me with installing the KDE desktop env please?
[01:54] <blahblah> kaffeend: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:54] <Buffy_stufd> kaffeend - Hi, How much have you done so far?
[01:55] <kaffeend> I had to d/load it coz I don't have a cd drive right now
[01:55] <Buffy_stufd> kaffeend - "Server install" or the default Ubuntu install? (gnome)
[01:55] <ZincX> persia, its always on
[01:55] <kaffeend> blahblah thanks :P
[01:56] <Random_Sindrom> kaffeend: what's wrong with gnome?
[01:56] <kaffeend> buffy_stufd ??
[01:56] <blahblah> gnome has less errors than KDE
[01:56] <blahblah> thats what i had on my computer
[01:56] <kaffeend> screen refresh is way too low and as a n00b I was advised to get it
[01:56] <kaffeend> coz I don't know any command line stuff
[01:56] <persia> ZincX: Yes, but I'm assuming you don't have a DS3 plugged into the back of your laptop.  Your computer is presumably attached to either a USB device or an ethernet cable.  If an ehternet cable, does that feed directly to your ISP, or is there another box along the way?  If a USB device, to what is that attached?
[01:56] <selinium> Hi all, i am using irrsi as i have no x due to xorg being mangled. What is the command to do the xorg config?
[01:56] <Buffy_stufd> apt-get ubuntu-desktop works fine! :) - when asked to choose display managers gdm or kdm (KDE) choose kde
[01:57] <ZincX> persia, ethernet
[01:57] <persia> ZincX: OK, and the ethernet goes where?
[01:57] <ZincX> persia, directly to the isp.. no other boxes.. just the ethernet modem
[01:57] <Buffy_stufd> kaffeend - no sweat.  - synaptic has "ubuntu-desktop" - it is a 100+ mb d/l tho.
[01:57] <persia> ZincX: OK.  Did you buy the domain from your ISP, or somewhere else?
[01:58] <kaffeend> Buffy_stuftd I know
[01:58] <ZincX> persia, sumwhere else
[01:58] <blahblah> he wants kde, so its, kubuntu-desktop
[01:58] <kaffeend> oh - no I don't
[01:58] <Buffy_stufd> selinium - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[01:58] <persia> ZincX: Buffy_stufd has it right then... use dyndns
[01:58] <persia> !dyndns
[01:58] <ubotu> I guess dyndns is http://ubuntuguide.org/#assignhostnametodynamicip
[01:58] <selinium> Buffy_stufd: I think thats the one thanks!
[01:58] <Buffy_stufd> blah-blah you are right. - sorry. - time for a nap.
[01:59] <ZincX> persia, and then ?
[02:00] <kaffeend> I have these folders but I'm used to windows where you just click on the icon that says "setup" and voila! installshield wizard takes you through the lovely install garden
[02:00] <persia> ZincX: I'm not familiar enough with irc & vhosts.  My apologies.
[02:00] <ZincX> eheh.. no need ::)
[02:00] <Buffy_stufd> kaffeend - synaptic is like that. -peice of cake.
[02:00] <j2dope> the 'dhclient' command did not work :(
[02:00] <rob_newbie> I am installing glib but when I get to the point where I am suppost to type "make" the file make dose not exist
[02:00] <jade> hmmm anyone know how to get my second network adaptor working?
[02:00] <kaffeend> hehe thanks Buffy_stufd
[02:01] <jino> hi all
[02:01] <persia> jade: what kind of adaptor?
[02:01] <rob_newbie> hello
[02:01] <jade> persia: its a dlink, i've got all the modules loaded
[02:01] <j2dope> can anyone reccomend a wireless network finding tool for ubuntu? something like the one windows has?
[02:01] <jino> how can i make my laptop to restart
[02:01] <jade> persia: i need to get connectivity on it tho
[02:01] <j2dope> jino, 'sudo reboot'
[02:01] <jino> yup
[02:02] <jino> the thng is ..it doesnt automically reboot
[02:02] <persia> jade: If it shows up in `ifconfig -a`, you should be able to edit /etc/network.interfaces.  `man interfaces` for instructions.
[02:02] <jino> i have to switch of the laptop
[02:02] <Buffy_stufd> (thud $%^) ....Z-zzzz z.. G'nite all! :) - "Windows Users" "Linux Community"
[02:03] <jade> persia: u mean /etc/network/interfaces ?
[02:03] <McScruff> im running vmware (winxp) in kubuntu and i want to use a usb device on it, but ubuntu has it, how can i stop it in ubuntu so i can use it in vmware
[02:03] <jino> j2dope, it works
[02:03] <persia> jade: Sorry - missed the shift there.  Yes.
[02:03] <j2dope> jino, what does?
[02:03] <jino> but doesnt actually restart
[02:03] <jade> persia: actually, it apears to be working :) now i need a crossover cable :\
[02:03] <jino> i have to manually switch off the laptop
[02:03] <persia> jade: Hard to provide that over IRC, Sorry.
[02:04] <j2dope> have  u tried 'sudo shutdown' from a terminal?
[02:04] <jade> persia: indeed :D also hard to get at 11pm too
[02:04] <jino> nope
[02:04] <j2dope> im no pro, but possibly gnome is hanging? in which case i press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE
[02:04] <ach> Does anyone know which wireless pci networkadapter that works best in Ubuntu?
[02:04] <jino> ok
[02:04] <j2dope> i then login as my user, and then type 'sudo shutdown/reboot'
[02:04] <persia> jade: Map is 1-3, 2-6, 3-1, 4-4, 5-5, 6-2, 7-7, 8-8
[02:04] <jino> j2dope, i have another problem
[02:05] <rob_newbie> Do I need to type make or use another file the programs install instructions state make but no make file was created after configure
[02:05] <jino> all the dvd plugins are not installed
[02:05] <j2dope> jino, im sure im not the one to give the best answers but shoot
[02:05] <jino> and mplaye hangs
[02:05] <j2dope> ubuntuguide.org
[02:05] <jino> xmmx as well
[02:05] <ZincX> persia, ill have to make a dynamic dns even if my ip is static rite ?
[02:05] <jino> ok
[02:05] <jade> ehe
[02:05] <j2dope> search for the dvd section there, it'll hook u up with all the repositories u need to dl dvd playing stuff
[02:06] <j2dope> jino, whenever i reinstall ubuntu, i go straight to ubuntuguide.org to get it all set up, nice and quick
[02:06] <persia> ZincX: The other option is to ask your domain manager to change their record to the correct value.  If you do this, nothing needs to be installed on your machine.
[02:06] <jino> okie
[02:06] <ZincX> correct value means ?
[02:09] <j2dope> umm anyone? a wireless network finding app?
[02:10] <osfameron> that would be a nice feature to be packaged really
[02:10] <njan> j2dope, wifi-radar.py
[02:11] <njan> http://www.bitbuilder.com/wifi_radar/
[02:11] <persia> ZincX: From what I can tell from here, it's already set correctly. to <IP_ADDRESS>, but your local network configuration may be different than I can see from here.
[02:11] <j2dope> thanks njan ill check it out
[02:11] <ZincX> hmm.. i c
[02:11] <njan> j2dope, yq
[02:11] <persia> ZincX: Perhaps you're looking for mapping in the other direction: from the number to the name?
[02:11] <njan> s/yq/yw/
[02:12] <ach> Can anyone reccomend any special bran of wireless network adapters for ubuntu?
[02:13] <ZincX>    persia i guess
[02:15] <persia> ZincX: Send an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and ask them to change the record for <IP_ADDRESS>.in-addr.arpa to point to your domain.
[02:15] <purpledropbear> /leave #ubuntu
[02:15] <ZincX> that will work ?
[02:16] <persia> ZincX: As far as I can see from here.  Your ISP probably has better information about your network environment: I'm almost 2 seconds away from you.
[02:16] <ZincX> eheheh...
[02:17] <ZincX> so ill just have to hope that mailing<EMAIL_ADDRESS>will work right ?
[02:17] <persia> ZincX: That's the email address officially responsible for the change, but there may be some administrative procedure at your ISP.  I don't know.
[02:18] <ZincX> yeah.. im not sure it will work.. but well see
[02:19] <cool> how do i switch to another profile in FF? HELP
[02:19] <cool> how do i switch to another profile in FF?
[02:19] <cool> how do i switch to another profile in FF?
[02:20] <persia> ZincX: If that doesn't work, you could try Markus Weber: he might be able to help.
[02:20] <ZincX> whos he ?
[02:20] <Seveas> cool: please stop repeating the same question. If someone knows, (s)he will answer. You can try posting on the mailing list too.
[02:21] <cool> :( no one to help:(
[02:21] <dwa_> you're not very patient :)
[02:21] <persia> ZincX: Unless I'm not seeing correctly, he should be in your company addressbook, and should be the person administratively responsible for that sort of thing.  I'm not going to put more in an open forum.
[02:21] <dwa_> cool : try typing this in your console
[02:21] <dwa_> man firefox
[02:22] <cool> No manual entry for firefox
[02:22] <azol> cool: firefox --help
[02:22] <dwa_> there you can see that if you start firefox with -ProfileManager
[02:22] <dwa_> you can choose your profile
[02:22] <cool> bash: firefox: command not found
[02:22] <dwa_> strange, i have a man page for firefox :)

[02:29] <Carlo768> hello, i am trying to install the newest kernel modules for video4linux, but when i try to 'make', it complains about missing header files and exits with errors. Ive installed linux-headers-2.6.10-5 and linux-tree, but it still complaints. what am i doing wrong?
[02:29] <Seveas> Ubuntu comes with v4l modules...
[02:29] <Carlo768> i know
[02:29] <Carlo768> but my card is only supported on the newest ones
[02:30] <Seveas> then you probably should create the /usr/include/linux symlink to point to your headers...
[02:30] <kaffeend> can someone help me with opening synaptic package manager please?
[02:30] <majic> what is the problem kaffeend ?
[02:31] <direwolf> system > administration > synaptic
[02:31] <kaffeend> majic I simply need to open Synaptic
[02:31] <kaffeend> but I don't know hot to do it
[02:31] <direwolf> kaffeend ^up there
[02:32] <majic> kaffeend: type synaptic in a terminal and hit enter
[02:32] <ernstp> anyone got "sessreg" installed in breezy?
[02:32] <Carlo768> Seveas, how can i do that?
[02:32] <kaffeend> thanks majic and direwolf
[02:32] <direwolf> np
[02:32] <Raptoid> http://hakan.cimenderi.com --> zappuri zuppiri pictures
[02:33] <Seveas> Raptoid, don't spam....
[02:33] <Raptoid> Seveas, ok sorry man
[02:33] <jino> j2dope, u there?
[02:34] <Carlo768> /usr/include/linx already exists, and its filled with header files
[02:34] <Seveas> then what is it complaining about?
[02:34] <kaffeend> majic it says I need to run it as root user
[02:34] <Will_> There are some hideous women on that link
[02:34] <Seveas> kaffeend, sudo synaptic
[02:34] <kaffeend> k
[02:35] <majic> kaffeend: or su to root
[02:35] <Carlo768> /home/ubuntu/Desktop/video4linux/media/video-buf-dvb.h:5:20: dvbdev.h: No such file or directory
[02:35] <kaffeend> Lovely, Seveas thanks (again :P )
[02:35] <Carlo768> and several headers more are missing too
[02:36] <Seveas> kaffeend, that's an error in the thing you downloaded...
[02:36] <kaffeend> seveas sorry?
[02:37] <Seveas> kaffeend, ehrm
[02:37] <Seveas> name mixup :)
[02:37] <Seveas> Carlo768, that's an error in the thing you downloaded...

[02:38] <Seveas> won't help
[02:38] <Carlo768> ?
[02:38] <Seveas> better read the install instructions more carfully :)
[02:39] <omega_> I just downloaded Snes9x, a SNES emulator; if I wanted to keep my computer uncluttered a little, where would be a good place to put it? (Kind of like a Linux version of Windows' "Program Files" directory.)
[02:39] <direwolf> this laptop needs memory bad
[02:39] <Seveas> omega_, you should install snes9x from the repositories....
[02:40] <omega_> I didn't even realize it was there.
[02:40] <direwolf> even xfce on 64mb of ram is rough
[02:40] <Seveas> omega_, apt-cache search snes9x
[02:40] <Seveas> :)
[02:40] <HrdwrBoB> ram is $60 for 512mb
[02:40] <persia> omega_: When you have a spare hour or two, run aptitude and browse...
[02:40] <HrdwrBoB> I see no reason to run a desktop machine with 64mb
[02:40] <Seveas> HrdwrBoB, laptop
[02:40] <Carlo768> omega_ i think you should try zsnes first
[02:40] <direwolf> old laptop
[02:40] <Seveas> and laptop mem is more expensive
[02:40] <HrdwrBoB> Seveas: well it's a bit more :) but ebay is your friend
[02:41] <HrdwrBoB> seriously, buy more memory
