[00:00] <polit> i know about apt-get fluxbox
[00:00] <respaol> polit it probably depends on the related team's speed in getting there
[00:00] <xubean> creative sound blaster audigy sound card problems, hardy.. please help!!!!
[00:00] <respaol> When I last looked they didn't have Xubuntu there either - though it might be now
[00:00] <polit> just that the buntu tribe, relase lots of siblings an d i dont see fluxbox in there
[00:01] <IdleOne> polit: KDE is one of the BIG window managers like gnome and EDUbuntu is directed to parents with young children . makes sense to support that because we want kids to start learning linux early
[00:01] <KindOne> why is my wireless so slow with 8.04 ?? It was fast in 7.10
[00:01] <Linux-Hawk> does any one know wher i can pick up virtualbox images for ubuntu
[00:01] <bazhang> polit www.fluxbuntu.org has the fully configured distro; a bit lighter and different from adding flux on top of ubuntu
[00:01] <KiZ> ok so I dist-upgraded to 8.04 and now on boot I get "ata2.01: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, errmask=0x1)" followed by "ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs", this happens a couple of times and adds about 30s to the boot time, then it boots ok.
[00:01] <zvacet>            respaol :                       http://www.xubuntu.org/
[00:02] <dnlacero> hello, problems with usb mass storage in ubuntu 7.10, any help?
[00:02] <Y-Town> I am trying to load 8.04 on a dell d620 laptop and al I get is my monitor flashing on and off...The dell has a nvidia card I believe...  I suggestions?
[00:02] <NiceIce> respaol ok i am downloading them, after that what should i do
[00:02] <polit> ok
[00:02] <KindOne> dnlacero, what kind is it ? hard drive or flash ?
[00:02] <kitche> dnlacero: just ask the question with as much information as you can and someone will anwser you if they know the answer
[00:02] <luser> nm found it sudo lshw -class memory
[00:03] <dnlacero> its mp4
[00:03] <dnlacero> 4gb
[00:03] <IdleOne> Y-Town: try booting with all_generic_ide see if that helps any
[00:03] <respaol> zvacet ah it's there now - to be honest I've stayed with 7.10 cos I had some website issues with FF3.0 on Windows - so I'm in no rush :)
[00:03] <Simonft> I just got the wierest ubuntu problem I have ever seen.
[00:03] <TaRDy> if i have a a partition for ubuntu, is it too late to resize it if 93% of it is in used?
[00:04] <Y-Town> IdleOne: will that be in the F6 options before oot?
[00:04] <xubean> anybody know the location to check my sound card properties?
[00:04] <Simonft> I just install kde and kbuntu, and now I don't have the option to shut down any more, only hybernate and sleep
[00:04] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I upgraded to Hardy and now suspend doesn't work. Why is this?
[00:04] <marsje> I'm puzzled... As of today, my aMSN and Pidgin do not connect to MSN, VirtualBox stopped running because of vboxdrv kernel driver not loaded and Wireshark hangs when I start caprturing... all this worked before
[00:04] <androver> does anyone know what the name is of the program that tells you the file-type of a file?
[00:04] <Y-Town> IdleOne: boot   :o)]
[00:04] <respaol> NiceIce well as I remember you type ffmpeg -h and it comes up with loads of help - I printed that - I suggest you do so and then work from it
[00:04] <dnlacero> ok, the problem is with usb devices in general, ubuntu 7.10 just installed do not recognize anything i plug in any of my usb slots.
[00:04] <Wannabe> Tanath told me to try Esound, how do i get around to doing this, pulsesound is on my system atm, so..do i unistall it and ge esound or...
[00:05] <localgod13> How do I get hard to use a wired network by default?
[00:05] <IdleOne> Y-Town: yes you would have to type it in to the rest of the boot options on the bottom of the screen
[00:05] <localgod13> hardy
[00:05] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys. I upgraded to Hardy and now suspend doesn't work. Why is this?
[00:05] <tanath> Wannabe, not sure if you can remove pulseaudio, but you can switch to alsa/esd/whatever with the sound applet
[00:05] <tanath> Wannabe, System > Prefs > sound
[00:05] <hellues> !paste
[00:06] <Wannabe> Tanath, atm i'm on flux lol
[00:06] <tanath> Wannabe, i'm using alsa right now because pulse seems broken
[00:06] <Y-Town> IdleOne: the system booted fine when I did the try ubuntu... but once I rebooted and clicked install thats where I ran into this issue
[00:06] <tanath> Wannabe, hmm
[00:06] <respaol> what is the advantage of pulse? - alsa always worked fine for me
[00:06] <italys> eh
[00:06] <italys> flash support still sucks
[00:06] <Simonft> I don't have the option to shut down
[00:06] <Wannabe> tanath, b4 i switch to gnome, can you tell me via cmd line, how i can tell what sound i'm suing atm/
[00:07] <TaRDy> if my drive is already partitioned am i too late to resize it?
[00:07] <IdleOne> Y-Town: hmmm not sure then :/
[00:07] <bazhang> italys, contact adobe
[00:07] <tanath> Wannabe, can you run 'gnome-sound-properties?
[00:07] <IdleOne> !gparted | TaRDy
[00:07] <NiceIce> respaol i need your help :) , just help me how to make the movie very high sound, and then i gave u the path where i have the movie,/home/hendaus/.wine/drive_c/1_2/VIDEO_TS/
[00:07] <localgod13> How do I get hardy to use a wired network by default?
[00:07] <respaol> italys flash works fine in Gutsy for me - is there anew problem in Hardy?
[00:07] <italys> nothing is working right
[00:07] <KindOne> localgod13, connect the computer to the wired network, and turn it on, set it up (passwords and stuff) and your connected
[00:07] <Simonft> I can't shut down
[00:07] <TaRDy> thank you IdleOne I'll look into that
[00:07] <Wannabe> tanath TY, i can
[00:07] <tanath> Wannabe, i suppose you could do a ps listing to see what sound server is running
[00:08] <tanath> Wannabe, k
[00:08] <WhoNeedszzz> Nobody has had a suspend issue?
[00:08] <GIn> hi, how do you make the main menu of firefox smaller/shorter?
[00:08] <localgod13> kindone: but when I reboot if wont select the wired by default
[00:08] <Wannabe> tanath, so change the autodetect to esd?
[00:08] <tanath> Wannabe, well, you might want to go with alsa
[00:08] <localgod13> KinDONE have to tell in to go wired
[00:08] <Simonft> I can't shut down!
[00:08] <Wannabe> tankth MMkay.
[00:08] <respaol> NiceIce I think you ought to ask in the #ffmpeg channel - they are a lot more expert than me and besides it's bedtime here in the UK :)
[00:08] <Daisuke_Ido> that's interesting...  removable drives and media no longer has a section where you can pick what to do upon inserting a cd?
[00:08] <tanath> Wannabe, might work better on hardy
[00:09] <KindOne> localgod13: that's strange, I just turn mine on and I'm connected
[00:09] <tanath> Wannabe, but use whatever works i guess
[00:09] <IdleOne> TaRDy: I had a similar issue when trying the livecd and that helped me out but if you say it is when installing I am not certain how to help
[00:09] <WhoNeedszzz> My laptop won't suspend after upgrading to Hardy. Any ideas?
[00:09] <Wannabe> tanth lol yes, i am on hardy atm fyi
[00:09] <moya> can somebody help setting up a dialin server, i'd created local users but logs always said 'no PAP secret found for <username>'
[00:09] <respaol> nite all!
[00:09] <localgod13> KindOne: I agree
[00:09] <NiceIce> respaol :( ok
[00:09] <NiceIce> good night
[00:09] <TaRDy> IdleOne, I haven't tried to do any repartitioning I just want to redo it with my root as a separate one I have heard it makes upgrading easier
[00:09] <Simonft> can't... shut... down...
[00:09] <msix_> Hi all, anyone running vmware server on hardy 64bit experiencing loss of function-keys( ctrl-shift... etc) as soon as vmware tools start inside a vm running XP ?
[00:10] <tanath> Wannabe, you can use tab-completion for nicks in xchat
[00:10] <WhoNeedszzz> My laptop won't suspend after upgrading to Hardy. Any ideas?
[00:10] <Wannabe> Tanath, how so XD
[00:10] <FGS|Bret`Laptop> I've just got a BusyBox v.1.1.3 shell pop up on my ubuntu boot. any idea why?
[00:10] <tanath> Wannabe, ? you asking how?
[00:10] <LeeKnux> Hi, I have an ati card that I've configured for Dual Screen mode. Whenever my machine boots up and I attempt to login I get dialog box saying that * has crashed within 10 seconds. I then switch the session to gnome failesafe mode and then the dual screen works great... How do I get my Dual Screen mode to work outside of failesafe mode?
[00:11] <dnlacero> #ubuntu-lat
[00:11] <Wannabe> Tanath, yes, new to Xchat
[00:11] <MagoonD> how do I unrar a bunch of files I have in a folder all together?
[00:11] <tanath> Wannabe, type the first few characters, and hit tab
[00:11] <ere4si> FGS|Bret`Laptop: which kernel you booting into - 386 or generic?
[00:11] <Wannabe> tanath, ooo
[00:11] <jrib> MagoonD: is it a split archive or independent archives?
[00:11] <FGS|Bret`Laptop> Erm, its the AMD64 version of Hardy 8.04
[00:11] <Simonft> !Kubuntu
[00:11] <tanath> Wannabe, you can keep hitting tab to cycle through possibilities
[00:11] <Rico0100> it works tanath :)
[00:11] <Xcell> shutdown -r now
[00:11] <Wannabe> tanath, nice ty
[00:11] <MagoonD> jrib split archive
[00:11] <WhoNeedszzz> My laptop won't suspend after upgrading to Hardy. Any ideas?
[00:11] <KindOne> localgod13: have it connected, and on the network icon next to the clock, right click and click add network, add the info, save it, and see if that helps.
[00:11] <jrib> MagoonD: just extract the first in the series
[00:12] <Daisuke_Ido> ah, it's been moved
[00:12] <Wannabe> tanath, i used this to fix my sound in ET cause it didn't work would this effect http://www.nixcoders.org/wiki/ET_sound
[00:12] <MagoonD> jrib, ok
[00:12] <Daisuke_Ido> and is hidden by default
[00:12] <FGS|Bret`Laptop> nixcoders haha
[00:12] <Daisuke_Ido> brilliant design!
[00:12] <italy> buh
[00:12] <italy> my graphics don't draw very well
[00:12] <Rico0100> i just fixed the resolution problem with nvidia GPU
[00:12] <italy> of course i have a shitty video card
[00:12] <moya> I'm trying to set up a dialin server. I'd created the users locally but the connection always fails with error 'no PAP secret found for <username>', any hints ?
[00:12] <Wannabe> FGS|Bret`Laptop,  yes law
[00:12] <italy> geforce 6200 PCI
[00:12] <italy> with dual head
[00:12] <Wannabe> FGS|Bret`Laptop,  yes lawl*
[00:12] <Rico0100> i downloaded nvidia-settings and all fixed
[00:12] <FGS|Bret`Laptop> I play ET too. Although i'd not go near nixcoders with a 10ft barge pole
[00:12] <bazhang> !language | italy
[00:13] <tanath> Wannabe, no, it shouldn't matter
[00:13] <Wannabe> FGS|Bret`Laptop,  why so?
[00:13] <FGS|Bret`Laptop> netcoders ftw.
[00:13] <Wannabe> tanath,  ty for clerifying
[00:13] <WhoNeedszzz> My laptop won't suspend after upgrading to Hardy. Any ideas?
[00:13] <Murrlin> is xine-lib available in a repository?
[00:13] <tanath> Wannabe, that's telling alsa to use oss for ET, but alsa is the sound server, and it can still use other outputs for other apps
[00:13] <FGS|Bret`Laptop> But anyway. Does anyone know why this stupid shell is coming up every time?
[00:13] <Wannabe> FGS|Bret`Laptop,  the new eth32 works sweet and smooth
[00:13] <localgod13> KindOne: when I right click my options are Enable networking,Connection info, edit wireless network, about
[00:13] <KindOne> WhoNeedszzz:give use more info..... like specs and all that
[00:13] <IdleOne> Murrlin: search packages.ubuntu.org
[00:14] <FGS|Bret`Laptop> BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built-in shell (ash)
[00:14] <Wannabe> tanath, ok thankis, it helps when the person helping explains what the stuff is doing lol
[00:14] <Murrlin> ah thanks
[00:14] <FGS|Bret`Laptop> why do i get this come up when i try to boot into ubuntu?       I just did a recursive mv to a filename.  Is there any way to reverse this?
[00:15] <bazhang> Murrlin, apt-cache search xine
[00:15] <jrib> Crescendo: huh?  "recursive mv"  What exactly did you type?
[00:15] <Wannabe> FGS|Bret`Laptop,  when that happend, i re-installed sorry cna't help there
[00:15] <Rico0100> any recommendation for a good video player ? the one that came with ubuntu plays movies pixelated :S
[00:15] <Stormcr0w> Hello all. I need to mount a folder to another folder... How can I do it?
[00:15] <msix_> Crescendo: no simple solution if u did it on a terminal
[00:15] <cirkit> Rico0100: I recommend trying out VLC Player.
[00:15] <tanath> Wannabe, alsa & esd are sound servers. they're supposed to sit between apps playing sound and the sound card. they can't all access the sound card at once, so instead you use a sound server, and all apps tell it to play sound instead
[00:15] <Rico0100> ty cirkit
[00:15] <MagoonD> jrib, that didnt work
[00:15] <KindOne> localgod13:try enabling network, I would try to help, but im on my windows 2000 and my Ubuntu 8.04 is having issues with internet connection
[00:15] <jrib> Stormcr0w: why?  What exactly are you trying to do?
[00:15] <cirkit> yw
[00:15] <Rico0100> available for 8.04 ?
[00:15] <Crescendo> jrib: find /foo -name "*.jpg" -exec mv {} /bar/FletchCon \;
[00:15] <cirkit> Rico0100: Yep. ;)
[00:15] <Rico0100> ok ty
[00:15] <Crescendo> I forgot the trailing slash. :((((
[00:16] <cirkit> Rico0100: Type in 'vlc' in synpatic search and it should show you ;)
[00:16] <Wannabe> tanath, alright, still transfering to linux, gotta learn about these servers
[00:16] <localgod13> KindOne: enable networking is checked
[00:16]  * Rico0100 thanks cirkit
[00:16] <Stormcr0w> jrib: OK, I've got my /home/user/music folder. I would like to connect that folder to the actual music folder on my Windows (NTFS) partition
[00:16] <Rico0100> ;)
[00:16] <WhoNeedszzz> My laptop won't suspend after upgrading to Hardy. Any ideas? I'm using the nvidia binary for gfx and using madwifi for wifi
[00:16] <tanath> Wannabe, well, ideally you wouldn't have to know about it
[00:16] <jrib> Crescendo: so /bar/FletchCon didn't exist before?
[00:16] <Crescendo> jrib: correct
[00:16] <jrib> MagoonD: use the command line and pastebin the result (and your command)
[00:16] <Stormcr0w> jrib: so that whenever I double-click on it, or would like to save something in there, I can point the system to the home music folder, instead of browsing every time
[00:16] <MagoonD> jrib, i remember doing something like unrar v ..... in the past to extract them
[00:16] <jrib> Crescendo: only way to undo is with your backups
[00:17] <Wannabe> tanath,  true, but i would like to learn the whole way linux works, from what in know, it works sweet and smart
[00:17] <tanath> Wannabe, :)
[00:17] <Crescendo> ...yep, thought so.  Epic fail. Thanks.
[00:17] <Creationist> How do I delete all files/folders within a tree, except certain ones?  For example, completely delete all subdirectories under ~/.kde/ but don't delete ~/.kde/thisdir/ and ~/.kde/thisdirtoo/
[00:17] <jrib> MagoonD: unrar x foo.rar    where foo.rar is the first one, that's all
[00:17] <WhoNeedszzz> My laptop won't suspend after upgrading to Hardy. Any ideas? I'm using the nvidia binary for gfx and using madwifi for wifi
[00:17] <tanath> Wannabe, well, there's lots of help pages on the ubuntu wiki & stuff you can learn from
[00:17] <jrib> Creationist: use find (or use the zsh shell's extra globbing abilities)
[00:17] <Wannabe> tanath, i'm accaully only 15 atm, and linux makes more sense to me the windows...i'm not touching vista.
[00:17] <MagoonD> jrib, ok that worked thx
[00:18] <Ecclesiastes> When I'm reading the lsmod output, who are the users 0 and 1?
[00:18] <Wannabe> tanath, yea i'll be reading :)
[00:18] <jrib> Stormcr0w: create a symlink: ln -s TARGET NAME
[00:18] <tanath> Wannabe, haha, yeah, i can't stand vista :-/
[00:18] <WhoNeedszzz> is it me or are the repos slow right now?
[00:18] <Wannabe> tanath,  this comp cna "run" vista
[00:18] <tanath> Wannabe, linux makes more sense in many ways :P
[00:18] <jrib> WhoNeedszzz: use a local mirror
[00:18] <Wannabe> tanath, but when you get this comp and ubuntu 8.04 + fluxbox, wow it puts XP to shame.
[00:18] <Creationist> jrib: Can I pipe the rm command into find?
[00:19] <Stormcr0w> jrib: will it be ln -s target folder home folder?
[00:19] <Rico0100> vista is slow
[00:19] <WhoNeedszzz> jrib: i don't trust mirrors
[00:19] <WhoNeedszzz> My laptop won't suspend after upgrading to Hardy. Any ideas? I'm using the nvidia binary for gfx and using madwifi for wifi
[00:19] <Wannabe> Rico0100, yeha
[00:19] <jrib> WhoNeedszzz: erm...
[00:19] <Rico0100> compared to ubuntu :)
[00:19] <tanath> Wannabe, hehe, yeah, fluxbox is very fast & leightweight
[00:19] <Ecclesiastes> Creationist: of course.
[00:19] <Wannabe> tanath, for sure
[00:19] <jrib> Stormcr0w: yes
[00:19] <Creationist> Ecclesiastes: How awesome is that? :)
[00:19] <Stormcr0w> jrib: Thanks! I'll try it now
[00:19] <Wannabe> tanath, since i know some more about the sound servers i'll play around with them see what i can dig out.
[00:20] <tanath> Wannabe, fluxbox, blackbox & openbox are all similar, and you can switch back and forth between them from the menu
[00:20] <tanath> Wannabe, you might try them all and see which you prefer
[00:20] <jrib> Stormcr0w: something like: ln -s /media/my_music_is_here ~/my_much_easier_to_use_music_folder
[00:20] <tanath> Wannabe, try not to do anything you can't undo :P
[00:20] <Wannabe> tanath,  thanks for pointing that out i will for sure do that
[00:20] <Wannabe> tanath, heh ya
[00:20] <Ecclesiastes> Creationist: I worked on a Multics system. Seems normal to me.
[00:20] <italy> what is this pulseaudio
[00:20] <ratpoison> hello! I want to be able to share my ntfs partitions on samba. What is the safest way of doing this?
[00:21] <Creationist> Ecclesiastes: Ah.  Well, I'm fairly new to Linux (since Edgy came out)
[00:21] <Creationist> ...now to learn just how to use find.
[00:21] <mgl445> hi, my sound is not working on asus k8u-x motherboard using ubuntu 8.04 342bit
[00:21] <Stormcr0w> jrib: Ok, trying it now
[00:21] <tanath> mgl445, System > Prefs > Sound. try different sound servers
[00:22] <Ecclesiastes> Help! When I'm reading the lsmod output, who are users 0 and 1?
[00:22] <Wannabe> tanath, do i gotta dl black box my self? seem to not find in apt-get
[00:22] <moya> I'm trying to set up a dialin server. I'd created the users locally but the connection always fails with error 'no PAP secret found for <username>', any hints ?
[00:22] <tanath> Wannabe, do you have all your repos enabled?
[00:22] <Wannabe> tanath, jsut defaults i bet
[00:22] <Rico0100> 342bit ?? :) that's alien technology
[00:22] <mgl445> tanath: i think the problem is the drivers or something because i get an error about not finding any devices when click on the sound icon
[00:22] <Stormcr0w> jrib: that creates a link within the /home/user/music folder
[00:23] <Ecclesiastes> Creationist: you know unix is OLDER than windows, right?
[00:23] <ere4si> Ecclesiastes: that's the number of apps using the modules
[00:23] <mgl445> rico0100: 32bit :)
[00:23] <jrib> Stormcr0w: so delete the folder and try again
[00:23] <tanath> Wannabe, Sys > Admin > Software sources, or Settings > Repos in Synaptic
[00:23] <Stormcr0w> jrib: I would like to double click on the folder and immediately see the linked folder
[00:23] <jrib> Stormcr0w: yes
[00:23] <davide> excuse me in hardy skype has weird fonts. Is there a way of fixing it (not such a big problem, but still... XD)?
[00:23] <Creationist> Ecclesiastes: Yes, I do.
[00:23] <tanath> mgl445, ah... check synaptic for appropriate drivers then
[00:23] <Stormcr0w> jrib: ok, let me try
[00:23] <psicobra> hi guys i get this error on start up can any 1 help your $HOME/.drmc file has incorrect permissions and is being ignored. This prevents the session from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions.
[00:23] <Wannabe> tanath,  ok, brb tho
[00:23] <Stormcr0w> jrib: if I delete the folder, will it create it?
[00:23] <Creationist> Ecclesiastes: I'm new to *nix... not ignorant :)
[00:23] <tanath> mgl445, might need to enable the other repos too
[00:24] <jrib> Stormcr0w: no, you will create the link in its place
[00:24] <Creationist> Good grief... I'm trying to read the manpage on find, but it's hiding all the basic information I need lol
[00:24] <Stormcr0w> jrib: ln: target `/home/user/Music/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
[00:25] <jrib> Stormcr0w: paste your command
[00:25] <Stormcr0w> jrib: /media/disk-1/Documents/My \Music/ /home/user/Music/
[00:25] <Stormcr0w> jrib: ln -s /media/disk-1/Documents/My \Music/ /home/user/Music/
[00:25] <jrib> Stormcr0w: get rid of the / at the end
[00:25] <Ecclesiastes> ere4si: I thought I was on to something for a moment.
[00:26] <Wannabe> tanath,  ok back sorry about that
[00:26] <ere4si> Ecclesiastes: hehe
[00:26] <Creationist> Okay, I'm not seeing how find can locate files that are NOT named a certain thing... what am I missing?
[00:26] <Wannabe> tanath, i'll brb. going to gnome.
[00:26] <Stormcr0w> jrib: Many thanks! that did it... What a difference a "/" can make...
[00:26] <mgl445> tanath: i'm not sure what i should be searching for, i tried k8u-x and ad1888
[00:27] <Ecclesiastes> ere4si: I'm having problems mounting a drive. Are you very good?
[00:27] <jrib> Creationist: search for "-not" on the page.  /-not<enter>
[00:27] <LukeL_> it/s actually \ making the difference
[00:27] <tanath> mgl445, have you enabled all the repos/
[00:27] <ere4si> Ecclesiastes: not "very" but get by
[00:27] <Creationist> jrib: thank you
[00:28] <mgl445> tanath: all except source code and hard-backports and hardy-proposed
[00:28] <Creationist> jrib: However, that wasn't found :)
[00:28] <Wannabe> tanath,  ok i'm on gnome atm
[00:28] <jrib> Creationist: hit 'g' and try again...
[00:28] <Ecclesiastes> ere4si: oh well. Can you help me with formatting/submitting a bug report?
[00:28] <ere4si> Ecclesiastes: I don't know about that...
[00:28] <Creationist> jrib: Ah... learning new stuff all the time.  THanks.
[00:28] <tanath> mgl445, and searching for the driver doesn't turn it up? do you know what driver you're looking for?
[00:28] <ere4si> !bug | Ecclesiastes
[00:29] <Rico0100> WOW .. u can do flip 3D like vista with "windows"+TAB
[00:29] <Ecclesiastes> ere4si: erUSAL said I should submit this one.
[00:29] <Creationist> Rico0100: You can do a lot more than that :)
[00:29] <smmagic> Can someone possibly tell me how to remove the package kubuntu-desktop

[00:29] <Styles__> Hey, I'm having a problem. I have two installations of Ubuntu on two different computers. Now, the one works fine. This computer, the mouse works for only a second they completely stops. Any ideas? Its not a wireless mouse. Its a corded Logitech. Ive tried a non-name brand mouse, doesn't work. I've also tried a wired mouse.
[00:29] <Creationist> smmagic: kubuntu-desktop is an empty package as it is... it just depends on other packages.
[00:30] <Rico0100> anyone knows how i can flip virtual desktop ? in 3D
[00:30] <Wannabe> Styles__, i've seen this problem before, can your past bin you Xorg.conf?
[00:30] <mgl445> tanath: not specifically, i'm going off of this thread in the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400808 but its over a year old
[00:30] <Styles__> Wannabe: I don't know how to get it, let alone get into a terminal to get ahold of it.. :P
[00:31] <Styles__> Since the mouse doesn't work
[00:31] <Creationist> jrib: When the man page says "expr" is that saying I use a regex for that?
[00:31] <Wannabe> Styles__,  can you open you file browser
[00:31] <bazhang> Styles__, alt f2 gnome-terminal
[00:31] <Styles__> Ahh
[00:31] <Styles__> Were is the Xorg.conf file?
[00:31] <Styles__> haha i'm a total n00b. :P sry
[00:31] <Creationist> Styles__: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:31] <Wannabe> /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[00:32] <Styles__> k
[00:32] <tanath> mgl445, well, you could go to the sound applet i pointed you to to see your sound device, and google that to find for sure what driver you need
[00:32] <Creationist> Wannabe: It's a capital X, isn't it?
[00:32] <jrib> Creationist: no I don't think so.  I think you can do -not -name foo.  I'm not sure on this.  Play with it
[00:32] <Wannabe> Wanderer,  yes sorry
[00:32] <L0rdZ3r0> hello sometimes the system blocks and some lights on the keyboard are on off on off... after restart the sesolution is smaler any ideia what could be? and after the next restar is all back to normal
[00:32] <ltcabral> can anyone help me with a Makefile??
[00:32] <tanath> mgl445, then, if it's not in the repos, you might find it on sourceforge or something
[00:32] <Creationist> jrib: Alright.... thanks again :)
[00:32] <Wannabe> Creationist, Yes sorry*
[00:32] <PriceChild> ltcabral: what's the real question?
[00:32] <Styles__> K Let me get this ampasted for you..

[00:33] <Styles__> :P
[00:33] <phil_> salut
[00:33] <mgl445> tanath: it doesn't detect a sound device at all.
[00:33] <Dianabol> anyone know why im downloading torrents at 0kbps, even though there is 50 seeders/leachers?
[00:33] <Styles__> Well, whats weird is its the EXACT same install of Ubuntu, and the exact same mouse. But it doesn't work.
[00:34] <bazhang> Styles__, install pastebinit then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit and give us the url it spits out here
[00:34] <Styles__> Does that matter still?
[00:34] <tanath> mgl445, right, forgot...
[00:34] <Wannabe> Styles__,  my bud had this prob with the default Dell mouse
[00:34] <ere4si> Dianabol: you might need to give it a while to warm up
[00:34] <Styles__> Wannabe, is it the motherboard?
[00:34] <L0rdZ3r0> Dianabol see if your router is not bloking the port or firewall
[00:34] <Wannabe> Styles__,  doubt it
[00:34] <Styles__> apt-get install pastebinit
[00:34] <bazhang> Dianabol, not really sure; what client you using
[00:35] <Styles__> err what
[00:35] <Wannabe> Styles__,  it's in the Xserver
[00:35] <Styles__> Wannabeokay
[00:35] <tanath> mgl445, have you googled for your sound device?
[00:35] <Dreamcast> hi guys
[00:35] <Dianabol> bitTorrent, and i just installed my firewall could that be it?
[00:35] <tanath> mgl445, or at least to find out what it is
[00:35] <Styles__> Wanabe alright so. Is there a line I have to add to this file? I have to restart so its giong to be a pain to do this over and over.
[00:35] <Dreamcast> I just see someone mention sound device. Any others with low sound in the latest update maybe?
[00:35] <hydrozen> how can I mount a usb harddrive so that I can have read/write access to it without having to sudo everything???
[00:35] <bazhang> Dianabol, try a different client that is the least best
[00:35] <Wannabe> Styles__,  i jsut wat to see the file first
[00:36] <hydrozen> i tried using -o defaults but still i can't write anything on there unless I sudo
[00:36] <Dianabol> bazhang: any recommendations?
[00:36] <L0rdZ3r0> Dianabol yes open the port that the bt is using i had the same problem today but it was with the router
[00:36] <Styles__> Wannabe: Last thing, How do I open a program via console? like firefox because I'm not going to be able too :P
[00:36] <Rico0100> use ./
[00:36] <Styles__> k
[00:36] <Rico0100> before file name
[00:36] <bazhang> Dianabol, you could ask in #ubuntu-bots
[00:36] <Styles__> ./Fire Fox ?
[00:36] <i4x> anyone knows if there's a pidgin's channel? or anyone knows any application to use messenger and irc services?
[00:36] <Dianabol> l0rdz3r0 how do i do that?
[00:36] <Wannabe> Styles__,  firefox for Firefox, gedit filename for Gedit

[00:41] <HELLOF> is ubuntu strictly a subset of debian with a new, polished look (clips from a movie rearranged), or is it _based off of_ debian (a short film inspired by a movie)

[00:55] <gwong> Hello I have, ubuntu  on my computer with windows vista, the vista partition used to mount, now it does not. Any help?
[00:55] <tanath> mgl445, sorry, that was meant for someone else
[00:55] <mgl445> tanath: thats fine
[00:55] <tanath> mgl445, what was the card again?
[00:55] <Ahadiel> gwong, Do you have ntfs-3g installed?
[00:55] <doug_> how do i mount ntfs with read/write and have it mount every time.
[00:55] <darthanubis> hows that fix coming for the crashing Firefox and flash deal?
[00:55] <gwong> Ahdiel ... dunno
[00:55] <Samonoske> Sorry guys. I'm new to linux. I've only recently started using it. Just build a new computer. and i was told that ubuntu was a better than debian..just wanted to learn more about it.
[00:55] <tanath> mgl445, was it ES1888?
[00:55] <mgl445> tanath: ad1888 onboard sound for k8u-x windows driver is made by soundmax/adi
[00:55] <darthanubis> Samonoske, google
[00:55] <caleb_> amirman84: download, unzip, make the .bin file executable (right click >properties> permissions tab > Check executing box
[00:56] <Ahadiel> gwong, dpkg -l | grep ntfs <== I think that's to check if you have it
[00:56] <gwong> Ahdiel I do
[00:56] <tarelerulz> gwong rin ntfsfix on the partition might help ,but you have to have the package that the program is in to to run the program
[00:56] <jedimind> would you guys recommend something other than WINE for better performance? more specifically for photoshop; i find that the redraw rates are sluggish at best w/ WINE
[00:56] <darthanubis> Samonoske, one quick search you'll find thats nonesense.
 have a look at the help files here https://help.ubuntu.com for more information
[00:56] <caleb_> amirman84: then double click, run i think
[00:56] <gwong> Ahadiel, I do
[00:56] <Dianabol> if ktorrent is for KDE where can i find the equivalent for gnome? or does it matter?
[00:56] <Ahadiel> gwong, Have you tried mounting it manually?
[00:56] <gwong> no, I dont know how
[00:56] <darthanubis> Samonoske, read a lot first
[00:56] <Ahadiel> Dianabol, It doesn't matter, but try deluge or transmission
[00:56] <jedimind> Dianabol: there's transmit which comes w/ ubuntu
[00:56] <jedimind> transmission thats it
[00:56] <Ahadiel> gwong, sec
[00:56] <gwong> Ahadiel ok, thanks
[00:56] <darthanubis> Deluge is the best
[00:56] <caleb_> amirman84: that bin file is called el.x86.linux.bin

[00:58] <darthanubis> !virtualbox | jedimind
[00:58] <Ahadiel> jedimind, Crossover Office is essentially based on wine
[00:58] <nickellery> !ask | bpat1434
[00:58] <Linux-Hawk> jedimind: You would be correct or you can pay around 90 usd for Vmware workstation.
[00:58] <danbhfive> doug_: have you tried fstab?
[00:58] <Samonoske> darthanubis what exactly is nonsense?
[00:58] <caleb_> I keep on getting a mesa driver when I type fglrxinfo, even though i installed the ati driver through envy, compiz doesn't work with the mesa drivers
[00:59] <doug_> danbhfive: what do i type in the fstab?
[00:59] <tanath> mgl445, this is the closest i can find: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-ad1889
[00:59] <darthanubis> Samonoske, The idea that Ubuntu is "better" than Debian. Ubuntu is from Debian, read up.
[00:59] <jedimind> yeah im looking for a local solution on my laptop; just essentially have to be able to run photoshop as transparently as possible and w/ decent response
[00:59] <danbhfive> !fstab | doug_ hopefully ubottu can help ya
[00:59] <Styles__> Hey, my mouse isn't working in Ubuntu, I'm dual booting, I know my mouse and keyboard should both work because I've used them with the default install on another computer. I am attempting to installit again (dual booting too) on this computer. Now, I get in and the second after I Login aand the Ubunutu Gui loads, my mouse "craps out". Then my keyboard will too after a little bit. Any ideas?
[00:59] <darthanubis> !debian | Samonoske
[00:59] <jedimind> is there a virtualbox version compatible w/ hardy ?
[00:59] <h00k> jedimind: check out Virtualbox

[00:59] <doug_> danbhfive: thanks
[00:59] <bpat1434> A "hidden" (SSID not broadcasted) wireless can't be connected to in Ubuntu.  I've tried manually configuring the wireless adapter but still no joy.  Is there a way to manually add a wireless network to the list?
[01:00] <Linux-Hawk> IMHO, gimp is far supperiour to photoshop.
[01:00] <Wannabe> Styles__,  sorry bout that
[01:00] <bazhang> jedimind, then dual boot might be the best option-vm or wine could do though
[01:00] <darthanubis> !google | jedimind
[01:00] <jedimind> im looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox there's no mention of hardy support
[01:00] <h00k> jedimind: yes, there is.  There's the Sun version that's closed source, and the open source one in synaptics
[01:00] <Styles__> Wannabe: What do you mean sorry?
[01:00] <jedimind> fair enough
[01:00] <tanath> mgl445, might try this to test it: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/SoundcardTesting
[01:00] <Wannabe> Styles__, i'd froxe my self up lol
[01:00] <zphinx> Hi people.
[01:00] <h00k> jedimind: in hardy: 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose'

[01:01] <amirman84> caleb_: is that how you did it? because the directions on that page are really confusing, i'm almost scared to try installing it. how easy is it to uninstall?
[01:01] <darthanubis> jedimind, do yourself a favor and pass on the version of Vbox in the repos. Get the one from the site.
[01:01] <PAPI> Hello
[01:01] <h00k> jedimind: and finally add your username to vboxusers
[01:01] <Kohlrak> Is there a known issue with firefox and javascript?
[01:01] <jedimind> that might be a little out of my league (kernel modules)
[01:01] <zphinx> For some reason my headphones arent useable in alsamixer.
[01:01] <bruenig> Kohlrak: no
[01:01] <Styles__> Wannabe: Fast, if you do knwo the answer that would be great.
[01:01] <Kohlrak> Wait... nvm... javascript has problems regardless of browser XD
[01:01] <h00k> jedimind: I can help you if you'd like
[01:01] <darthanubis> Kohlrak, google it, its the bet way and fastest to find bugs
[01:01] <caleb_> amirman84: ill take you through step by step

[01:02] <ffm_> How do I convert a text PDF to a DJVU and get all the nice compression features etc. of DJVU in Ubuntu? This is just plain formatted text I'm working with.
[01:02] <amirman84> ok, let me download the file
[01:02] <wirechief> zphinx no sound problem ? maybe a setting in alsamixer ?
[01:02] <caleb_> amirman84: the instructions on the website are not specifically made for ubuntu, that is why they are confusing
[01:02] <h00k> jedimind: you might have to register on the server to privmsg
[01:02] <zphinx> wirechief: actually its my headphones.
[01:02] <darthanubis> "My friends" use google, please.
[01:02] <tanath> mgl445, read the readme. it has instructions for installing

[01:04] <ffm_> darthanubis, verbosity is your friend.
[01:04] <bazhang> orudie what is the command or script; put in the command section of startup session
[01:04] <zphinx> wirechief: any idea?
[01:04] <orudie> ffm_, thank you hero
[01:04] <darthanubis> ffm_, ha
[01:05] <wirechief> zphinx well i got mine working when i talked to the guru's in #alsa
[01:05] <amirman84> caleb_: i'm downloading the sound package too because it looks like i'm going to like this game
[01:05] <darthanubis> ffm_, are you familiar with the flash crashing in firefox?
[01:05] <bazhang> darthanubis, yes let me get you a link--should be libflashsupport will fix that
[01:05] <wirechief> zphinx they can do tests that will discover your settings.
[01:05] <orudie> bazhang, can you provide more specific? is there a file that i should edit ?
[01:05] <L0rdZ3r0> sometimes the system blocks and some lights on the keyboard are on off on off... after restart the resolution is smaler any ideia what could be? and after the next restar is all back to normal any possibility to be from firefox beta?
[01:05] <ffm_> darthanubis, not spesifically, but if you try to describe _when_ and _where_ I may be able to help.

[01:06] <brica1> can anyone point me in the right direction if i'd like to contribute to dh-make-perl ?
[01:06] <ffm_> darthanubis, Odd.... are you able to reproduce it on other computers?
[01:07] <darthanubis> ffm_, its a know issue I just recieved a link for
[01:07] <darthanubis> ffm_, known
[01:07] <ffm_> darthanubis, ok. great.
[01:07] <jrib> brica1: #ubuntu-motu is probably a better place to ask
[01:07] <amirman84> brica1: #perl is pretty heavily populated
[01:07] <orudie> bazhang, this script is for when you are running dual monitors as separate sessions, there is a very popular bug when using this mode, in one of the screens resizing windows, and menues become slow, with a 3 second delay
[01:08] <whileimhere> hi I have a weird question for you guys. First if I use a KDE app in GNOMe is there a signifigant use of system resources over that of a similar GTK app? Second is there a better ogg ripper than Sound Juicer out there for linux?
[01:08] <orudie> bazhang, dual monitors as separate X
[01:08] <tanath> mgl445, you get the driver?
[01:08] <brica1> i'll see what motu have to say.
[01:08] <bazhang> orudie,  f fm gave you where to put it
[01:08] <zphinx> wirechief: not a whole lot going on in that channel :/
[01:08] <doug_> what do i type in to see what my ntfs drive is like hda1 and stuff
[01:09] <aaroncampbell> If a group of files was just overwritten, is there anything that can be done to retrieve the old copies?  They were part of any svn repo or anything like that (kicking myself) just on an ext partition
[01:09] <wirechief> zphinx hmm maybe they are out to dinner. you want a script to check your settings ?
[01:09] <zphinx> wirechief: yes please.
[01:09] <bpat1434> A "hidden" (SSID not broadcasted) wireless can't be connected to in Ubuntu.  I've tried manually configuring the wireless adapter but still no joy.  Is there a way to manually add a wireless network to the list?
[01:10] <wirechief> zphinx wget http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/tsalsa
[01:10] <ommegang> why doesnt rythmbox, monitor my music folder??
[01:10] <wirechief> zphinx change to your home directory and to that in there.
[01:10] <ommegang> i have to manually add a folder to my library
[01:11] <wirechief> zphinx when you have it working ill meet you over in alsa
[01:11] <doug_> what i type to see if i have hda1 or somethng else?
[01:11] <tanath> ommegang, not sure, but you might want to check out amarok
[01:11] <salira> I am trying to enable rest of my harddrive that came on a dell server. How can I do that
[01:12] <^u^> doug_: df -h
[01:12] <danbhfive> doug_ ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:12] <amirman84> ommegang: if you're using GNOME i would reccomend exaile instead of amarok
[01:12] <ommegang> ok, i'll look into it.
[01:12] <tanath> amirman84, pfft. amarok is much better
[01:12] <salira> basically I started using the disk without configuring the hard drive properly and now I realised that I am using only 4GB out of 150 GB
[01:12] <amirman84> tanath: but it looks like windows 98
[01:12] <salira> I am trying to enable rest of my harddrive that came on a dell server. How can I do that
[01:12] <tanath> amirman84, exaile has a ways to go
[01:13] <caleb_> amirman84: done yet?
[01:13] <tanath> amirman84, are you kidding me? mine most certainly doesn't
[01:13] <bazhang> !ot
[01:13] <tanath> amirman84, it is skinnable, you know... did you bother playing with the look?
[01:13] <amirman84> tanath: i'm going to try amarok again since people keep telling me its way better than exaile, but i'm curious what the advantage is
[01:13] <tj__> <----- new to Ubuntu... i know i sould ask my question but i tried that and got nobody's attention... I need help.
[01:13] <r00tintheb0x> suppers all
[01:14] <r00tintheb0x> tj__, whats the problem
[01:14] <tanath> amirman84, it can play everything. has lots of stuff built in, including scrobbling for last.fm..
[01:14] <bronsoja> are there any utils to help with configuring dual monitors? I plugged my laptop with ati card into my dock, and it just has the same output going to both screens.  Didn't see much help with the screen resolution manager and initial searches brought up somewhat old posts, so I figured I'd ask first if things have improved for 8.04
[01:14] <amirman84> tanath: exaile scrobbles for last.fm too
[01:14] <tanath> amirman84, it's a full blown music manager. can download cd covers, everything
[01:14] <doug_> ^u^:  and danbhfive thanks but i am not showing no media
[01:14] <tanath> amirman84, yeah, pretty much everythign has a plugin for that now
[01:14]  * r00tintheb0x waits.
[01:14] <amirman84> tanath: can you listen to last.fm stations created by tags?
[01:14] <tj__> rootinthebox... Came to ubuntu from debian etch.. I like the new style but i get system freezes sometimes every 2 min sometimes every 2 hrs
[01:15] <^u^> doug_: try  sudo fdisk -l
[01:15] <tanath> amirman84, yes
[01:15] <amirman84> tanath: exaile downlaods album art too
[01:15] <horndog> #launchpad

[01:15] <bazhang> amirman84,  tanath  please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:15] <tanath> amirman84, amarok does everything exaile does and more, and looks better too :P
[01:15] <tj__> 1bg ram
[01:15] <amirman84> tanath: i'm going to try it out
[01:15] <mgl445> tanath: sorry, was away for a bit

[01:15] <r00tintheb0x> tj__, have you not checked your logs?
[01:15] <tj__> rootinthebox. i am using the propietary drivers suggested at install.
[01:15] <doug_> ^u^: thanks ok i found it now i installed ntfs -tools i put the mount point in but it wont let me click apply
[01:16] <ffm_> How do I convert a text PDF to a DJVU and get all the nice compression features etc. of DJVU in Ubuntu? This is just plain formatted text I'm working with.
[01:16] <r00tintheb0x> Okay tj__ have you checked "dmesg, //var/log/Xorg.0.log, var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog?
[01:16] <tj__> I dont know where they are located... I do know that Glx is pushing cpu to 100% using top if the freeze recovrs
[01:16] <^u^> doug_: you may need to sudo ntfs-tools
[01:16] <tj__> will go to check them now.. BRB
[01:16] <r00tintheb0x> tj__, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
[01:17] <r00tintheb0x> and dmesg tj__
[01:17] <tj__> will do thanks.. brb
[01:17] <amirman84> tanath: does amarok analyze the soundfile and auto-tag them like winamp does?
[01:17] <tanath> mgl445, you get the driver?
[01:18] <L0rdZ3r0> ALERT THER IS A BOMB ON THE CHANNEL hehe did i get ur atention :P have a look at this pleasesometimes the system blocks and some lights on the keyboard are on off on off... after restart the resolution is smaler any ideia what could be? and after the next restar is all back to normal any possibility to be from firefox beta?
[01:18] <mgl445> tanath: slow ftp server
[01:18] <tanath> amirman84, not exactly. personally i use easytag for that
[01:18] <doug_> ^u^: ok i got it thank u so much
[01:18] <ffm_> Hey, what's up with ubuntuforums?
[01:18] <^u^> np
[01:18] <amirman84> tanath: so easytag autotags files? or does it require user input?
[01:18] <tanath> amirman84, amarok has the ability to edit the id3tags, but i never played with it enough to know if it can do autotagging
[01:18] <bobbins> i see unbuntu forums are down right now.. dont suppose anyone can offer advice on my wireless connection.. cant it get it to work
[01:19] <tj__> rootint the box... what is the syntax for outputing dmsg to file?
[01:19] <MagoonD> how do I connect to my xbox 360 hard drive if my pc running ubuntu and xbox 360 is connected to the network?
[01:19] <CelsoLeite> Hi, i am from Brasil. I need support in my language. Portuguese.
[01:19] <tanath> amirman84, well it requires some, but it makes it easy. and you can tell it to download the info and fill it in automatically
[01:19] <bazhang> !pt | CelsoLeite
[01:19] <tanath> amirman84, uses cddb
[01:19] <amirman84> bobbins: what kind of wireless card do you have?
[01:19] <mgl445> bobbins: i prolly wont be able to help but you should specify what wireless card it is etc
[01:19] <amirman84> tanath: i guess i'll need to get that too
[01:20] <tanath> !wireless
[01:20] <tanath> bobbins, try that ^
[01:20] <randomoutburst> i was going to install 8.04 and during the partition process i got confused and instead of splitting my hard drive into two partions i made it into one 20gig partition so now windows wont boot, i download testdisk so i just write testdisk MBR code to first sector?
[01:20] <bobbins> cheers I did.. still not getting any luck
[01:20] <caleb_> amirman84: unfortunatly el (eternal lands) doesn't have a launcher included so you have to make your own. I made mine by running these commands: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10368/
[01:20] <mgl445> bobbins: what wireless card
[01:20] <amirman84> tanath: that's one of the best features i've seen in any music manager/player, open source teams should really check out winamp and borrow some features
[01:21] <bobbins> and i only downloaded and ran ubuntu the other day.. so a real unbuntu newbie! lol
[01:21] <randomoutburst> ? would that fix the problem?
[01:21] <amirman84> caleb_: it's nearly done downloading, thanks
[01:21] <bobbins> its a broadcom 4306
[01:21] <Name141> What does it mean by "now with easy uninstall" ? Meaning that you can easily uninstall programs inside of the OS? or uninstall the OS?
[01:21] <tanath> amirman84, you can make it a feature request
[01:21] <caleb_> amirman84: good
[01:21] <bobbins> i read the docs.. posted in the forum.. tried as best I can to do it myself without help
[01:21] <jlc> lightscribe web site says they have drivers for 64 bit windows systems.  Is there anyway to use these drivers in ubuntu?

[01:22] <wawrhell> hollysmokes
[01:22] <wawrhell> lots of peeps here
[01:22] <amirman84> tanath: good point. i guess i'll check out amarok and compare it to exaile and see which one really is best
[01:23] <tanath> amirman84, of course. different people like different things. ultimately, use whichever is best for you
[01:23] <jlc> has anybody got lightscribe to work with 8.04 AMD64?
[01:23] <amirman84> caleb_: THIS IS A VIRUS!! MY MACAFEE DETECTED IT... j/k lol
[01:23] <darthanubis> bazhang, :/ neither of those options works on my machine. Adobe:/ Gnash does not even work
[01:23] <randomoutburst> ? any help?
[01:23] <tanath> amirman84, if you want something more slimmed down like winamp looks, audacious is similar
[01:23] <FAJALOU> are the forums down
[01:23] <FAJALOU> ?
[01:23] <st33med> yes
[01:23] <bazhang> darthanubis, sorry to hear that
[01:23] <Smib> yeah
[01:23] <FAJALOU> ahh, what would make sense
[01:23] <Bodsda> hey bazhang !! ;~)
[01:24] <bazhang> hi Bodsda  ;]
[01:24] <caleb_> amirman84: there are almost no viruses on linux, and macafee certainly doesn't work on ubuntu, even with wine
[01:24] <amirman84> tanath: you're thinking the old winamp, the new winamp has millions of features and looks super glossy and fancy, and you can dock it to the top of your screen in a thin bar
[01:24] <FAJALOU> well maybe someone here could help then, so basically, i have 2.31 gb of swap space, unfortunately, it is not automatically recognized at startup :\
[01:24] <caleb_> amirman84: is it done yet?
[01:24] <amirman84> caleb_: i know, i was kidding :)
[01:24] <sevillian> how to install package i have dowonloaded it from  the internet?
[01:24] <FAJALOU> how do i get it to be enabled at startup automatically?
[01:24] <tanath> caleb_, compiz works with mesa driver for me. using it now
[01:24] <darthanubis> bazhang, still appreciate the quick reply. Maybe I should just kill pulse?
[01:24] <amirman84> yeah it's done, i'm about to install it with your directions
[01:24] <bazhang> sevillian, what package
[01:24] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab ?
[01:24] <jlc> lightscribe on8.04 AMDE64, anybody, anybody???
[01:24] <FAJALOU> yah
[01:25] <Smib> how do I get xorg to stop maxing out my cpu?
[01:25] <Bodsda> darthanubis, having trouble with sound?
[01:25] <bazhang> darthanubis, switch to alsa? worth a shot
[01:25] <tanath> amirman84, true..
[01:25] <Wannabe> Smib, lol, xorg using all cpu?
[01:25] <sevillian>   <bazhang> a program
[01:25] <randomoutburst> does anyone know what i should do about my partition?
[01:25] <caleb_> tanath: that is odd, when i go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, the ati driver is checked but it says it is not in use
[01:25] <randomoutburst> anyone familiar with testdisk?
[01:25] <darthanubis> Bodsda, sound is fine. But flash is crashing because of pulse. Realplayer does not use pulse. Helix does not play rtsp....:/
[01:25] <Smib> Wannabe, yes, i upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and now xorg is killing my cpu
[01:25] <bazhang> sevillian, what program-->please give the name thanks
[01:26] <tanath> caleb_, yeah, i had that too
[01:26] <sevillian> pcd8
[01:26] <caleb_> tanath: did you have to fix something?
[01:26] <tanath> caleb_, try playing with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'
[01:26] <Wannabe> Smib, i don't understand, it runs the same if not better for  me
[01:26] <bazhang> sevillian, what is that and what does it do
[01:26] <X-plo> Hi i'm trying to run a game but I'm getting this output ^[[BFatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Faul
[01:26] <Bodsda> darthanubis, i think the pulseaudio thing is rubbish just do      killall pulseaudio        see if it fixes the problem
[01:26] <bpat1434> A "hidden" (SSID not broadcasted) wireless can't be connected to in Ubuntu.  I've tried manually configuring the wireless adapter but still no joy.  Is there a way to manually add a wireless network to the list?
[01:26] <X-plo> Hi i'm trying to run a game but I'm getting this output Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
[01:26] <tanath> caleb_, use that to figure out which driver works for you, and gives you direct rendering
[01:26] <Smib> Wannabe, that would make sense, but it still isn't happening for me
[01:26] <NetTroller> is there a way to use the native driver instead of the ndiswrapper...I think its causing all the freezing for me
[01:26] <Wannabe> X-plo,  what game?

[01:26] <amazen720> Can not get the ticket cache for root, trying to connect printer via share on a windows machine
[01:27] <Wannabe> Smib,  waht made you come to the conclusion it's xorg
[01:27] <mgl445> randomoutburst: did you overwrite the windows partition?
[01:27] <tanath> caleb_, to check for direct rendering, after you test a driver, run 'glxinfo | grep -i direct' in a terminal
 that a program enables me to  get A support from my colloege
[01:27] <darthanubis> Bodsda, no that won't, its not that simple. If I kill pulse I have to switch every app back to alsa, and then tell pulse not to be the deault from boot.
[01:27] <mgl445> randomoutburst: or just resize?
[01:27] <FAJALOU> hda 5 is actually hda4 but that shouldn't matter b/c it's commented out
[01:27] <caleb_> tanith: it was checked at fglrx, is that right?
[01:27] <X-plo> Wannabe, frest on fire
[01:27] <Smib> Wannabe, went into top and xorg is using 80-85% cpu
[01:27] <Wannabe> X-plo,  ah good game
[01:27] <tanath> calc, sorry, gksu, not gksudo
[01:27] <Smib> indeed
[01:27] <caleb_> tanath: no, it says it is not direct
[01:27] <amazen720> "Can not get the ticket cache for root", trying to connect to printer via share Xp machine, any help
[01:27] <randomoutburst> im really not sure, when i run the ubuntu live cd it just shows a 20 gig drive, which its actually 40, but i boot into windows
[01:27] <Wannabe> Smib,  hmm i wouldnt know why
[01:27] <tanath> caleb_, then try another
[01:28] <jlc> lightscribe on 8.04 AMD64, anybody, anybody???
[01:28] <Bodsda> darthanubis, i doubt it -- by default everything is set to use pulse but if that oes then it will revert to the next 'best' thing -- alsa      its worth a try,.,.not gonna harm your system in anyway
[01:28] <darthanubis> Bodsda, I just have to skip the realmedia, and deal with a buggy flash, until zeus knows when?
[01:28] <randomoutburst> *i cant boot into windows
[01:28] <X-plo> Wannabe, any ideas?
[01:28] <dave11> !xmms
[01:28] <Wannabe> X-plo,  let me dl it, i'll run it
[01:28] <Bodsda> randomoutburst, run   gparted     to see whats going on with your partitions
[01:28] <FAJALOU> danbhfive:  http://pastebin.ca/1008837
[01:28] <caleb_> tanith: what one did you set it to?
 ......................?
[01:28] <amirman84> caleb_: does that command that i put in that file start with a "#"
[01:28] <amazen720> "Can not get the ticket cache for root", trying to connect to printer via share Xp machine, any help?
[01:28] <X-plo> Wannabe, ok thx
[01:29] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: can you enable swap at all?
[01:29] <amazen720> "Can not get the ticket cache for root", trying to connect to printer via share Xp machine, any help?
[01:29] <amazen720> "Can not get the ticket cache for root", trying to connect to printer via share Xp machine, any help?
[01:29] <bazhang> sevillian, need more info than what you have given me
[01:29] <tanath> caleb_, basically, play around with different drivers in displayconfig-gtk until you have one that works, and gives direct rendering. then you can enable compiz
[01:29] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: I think its sudo swapon
[01:29] <caleb_> amirman86: yes
[01:29] <Smib> So I guess I have to reinstall
[01:29] <Wannabe> Smib, maybe
 like what?
[01:29] <FAJALOU> danbhfive: ya to turn it on i type in 'sudo swapon -v /dev/hda4
[01:29] <amazen720> "Can not get the ticket cache for root", trying to connect to printer via share Xp machine, any help?
[01:29] <FAJALOU> '
[01:29] <Anza> hi, one question. What programs could I use to convert from .rmvb to .avi? does mandvd recognize .rmvb format?
[01:29] <FAJALOU> and that turns it on, but i want it to be turned on automatically at start
[01:29] <orudie> what is the best movie player ?
[01:30] <Bodsda> !best
[01:30] <caleb_> tanith: i got a ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, so do you think i should do Radeon or Radeon (fglrx)
[01:30] <tanath> orudie, that's a matter of debate
[01:30] <tanath> orudie, many will say vlc, but i prefer mplayer
[01:30] <Anza> orudie, I love VLC
 any way how can i install any program  on ubuntu?
[01:30] <Smib> I use Mplayer for most, but if it gives me trouble I go to VLC
[01:30] <orudie> tanath, how can i install mplayer /
[01:30] <Bodsda> !synaptic | sevillian
[01:30] <FAJALOU> danbhfive: because normally swap is automatically enabled, but it's not
[01:31] <lmosher> I just installed hardy. For flash, which is better adobe flash player, Swfdec, or gnash? I've only ever used the adobe one...
[01:31] <tanath> orudie, you can install things with synaptic, or the add/remove shortcut on the applications menu
[01:31] <Scorchin> anyone know when an official flash plug-in will work with FF3b5?
[01:31] <amirman84> caleb_: so after i paste the command in the gedit file do i save it? do i need to save it as a certain name or anything?
[01:31] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: try enabling swap with sudo swapon -a
[01:31] <FAJALOU> and so i can turn it on in gparted in ubuntu, but it's just easier w/ the command
[01:31] <Bodsda> lmosher, nonfree flash plugin available in repo's
[01:31] <tanath> orudie, the add/remove is basically a kid gloves version of synaptic
[01:31] <caleb_> amirman84: paste and save, yes
[01:31] <orudie> tanath, i just did sudo-apt get install mplayer
[01:31] <lmosher> Bodsda, that's better than any of the 3 firefox suggests? What's the package name?
 thank you
[01:31] <tanath> orudie, that works :)
[01:31] <orudie> tanath, hope its a good way
[01:31] <Scorchin> Bodsda, the nonfree flash plugin seems to crash FF3b5 though
[01:31] <FAJALOU> danbhfive:swapon: cannot canonicalize /dev/disk/by-uuid/5a246b78-9901-48f2-8774-ec5b6525cf0b: No such file or directory
[01:31] <FAJALOU> swapon: cannot stat /dev/disk/by-uuid/5a246b78-9901-48f2-8774-ec5b6525cf0b: No such file or directory
[01:31] <caleb_> amirman84: change the caleb in that text into your home folder name
[01:32] <tanath> orudie, that's find. just most people prefer to avoid the terminal :P
[01:32] <tanath> *fine
[01:32] <FAJALOU> the only thing that works is 'sudo swapon -v /dev/hda4
[01:32] <Bodsda> lmosher, actually -- the flsh plugin FF sugests i believe is the package -- search synaptic for   flash     should be easy to find
[01:32] <Bodsda> Scorchin, doesnt crash mine
[01:32] <FAJALOU> '
[01:32] <Scorchin> :s
[01:32] <dave11> is there a mp3 player in 8.04?
[01:32] <Smib> if i could just find that damn 7.10 disc
[01:32] <amirman84> caleb_: i did that part, i had to change other stuff around too because i made a folder just for stuff i installed on my own
[01:32] <orudie> tanath, after hours of getting things to work the way i want made me used to the terminal
[01:32] <FAJALOU> dave11 yah amarok works quite well
[01:32] <tanath> orudie, mplayer is a commandline player though
[01:32] <bazhang> dave11, sure there are many to choose from
[01:32] <amirman84> caleb_: or more accurately with your help
[01:32] <tanath> orudie, there's gmplayer to give it a gui, but i dislike the gui
[01:32] <orudie> tanath, oh
[01:33] <dave11> FAJALOU: thanks
[01:33] <FAJALOU> yah
[01:33] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: ok, so I'm guessing your fstab has the incorrect uuid.  You can either grab the correct one from /dev/disk/bu-uuid OR just use /dev/hda4
[01:33] <tanath> orudie, but i love it because it'll play anything, and you can do anything with it
[01:33] <tanath> orudie, including speed up and slow down
[01:33] <lmosher> Scorchin, I just installed flashplugin-nonfree using firefox (which called synaptic).. went no problem, flash is running pandora now.
[01:33] <dave11> bazhang: do any paly .pls files like xmms did?
[01:33] <CyD> hey guys, got a crazy problem i wanted to relate.. pc isn't booting because '/bin/sh: file too large'. looking further, dash looks corrupt, reads as being exabytes big. trying to link to bash right now, wondering what could have happened!
[01:33] <caleb_> amirman84: so you got it all unzipped and stuff already?
[01:33] <FAJALOU> ok danbhfive: yes that makes sense,,,,  but when i want swap to automatically turn on at boot
[01:34] <Bodsda> dave11, past tense??? you can have xmms in ubuntu if you want it
[01:34] <FAJALOU> but even with sudo swapon -v /dev/hda4 in my session startup, i still manually have to go and set it up after every startup
[01:34] <bazhang> dave11, audacious is the successor to xmms; not sure if that supports pls or not--others to look at are listed above or /msg ubottu players
[01:34] <tanath> orudie, you can't seem to do that with any other player
[01:34] <UberCanuck> CyD, cracked maybe?
[01:34] <orudie> so ubuntu servers are slow atm ? the packages are downloading really slow
[01:34] <dave11> Bodsda: i dont see it in the repositoies
[01:34] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: I think its failing at boot because your fstab is wrong, right?
[01:34] <bobbins2482> anyone have ideas on this wireless connection problem im having.. currently reading the docs and trying not to give up! lol
[01:34] <CelsoLeite> Someone knows how to intaled de usb dlink  dwa 110?
[01:34] <tanath> orudie, use a mirror
[01:34] <Bodsda> dave11, have u enabled them all? settings --> repo's
[01:35] <tanath> orudie, System > Admin > Software sources > select best mirror
[01:35] <bobbins2482> ive enabled roaming.. current version of ubuntu
[01:35] <CyD> UberCanuck: maybe. though, the guy who owns the pc rarely has internet, tends to let his account lapse..
[01:35] <FAJALOU> well that is my fstab, so how can i correct my fstab?
[01:35] <dave11> bazhang: THANKS
[01:35] <bobbins2482> broadcom4306 wireless card
[01:35] <bazhang> ;]
[01:35] <tanath> orudie, System > Admin > Software sources > Download from Other > Select best mirror. sorry
[01:35] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: see, swapon -a uses the fstab for its info, so if that command fails, then it will fail at boot, since boot uses fstab also
[01:35] <CelsoLeite> Does some one know how to install the usb d-link model dwa 110?
[01:35] <bobbins2482> docs says check network settings
[01:35] <amirman84> caleb_: should i keep the "group" as root?
[01:35] <Wannabe> X-plo, frets on fire works fine for me
[01:36] <dave11> Bodsda: yes, even medibuntu
[01:36] <bobbins2482> roaming is enabled
[01:36] <Bodsda> bazhang, u seem to be tonights handyman (as always)
[01:36] <FAJALOU> danbhfive: ok so how can i find the correct uuid?
[01:36] <bazhang> Bodsda, more likely you ;]
[01:36] <FAJALOU> or change fstab to work?
[01:36] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: see my previous msg
[01:36] <griffith> Hate to be redundant newb, but are the forums broken for anyone else?
[01:36] <bobbins2482> you goto properties.. the box is then greyed out.. nothing in there
[01:36] <amirman84> caleb_: yeah it's all unzipped, i'm doing this stuff right now
[01:36] <bazhang> griffith, seem to be yes
[01:36] <bobbins2482> i think irc is full of newbies right now! lol
[01:36] <mgl445> tanath: i'm getting an error: c compiler cannot create executables
[01:36] <Bodsda> bazhang, ?? i havent done anything (as always) lol
[01:36] <X-plo> Wannabe, for another friend of me too
[01:37] <FAJALOU> danbhfive: ok that makes sense, is there a way to find what my uuid is for my swap partition?
[01:37] <mgl445> tanath: thats with step 6 of the readme, first command ftp://ftp.shkola-info.ru/drivers/mb/asus/P4C800/Drivers/Audio/AD1888/Linux/README.txt <--for readme
[01:37] <caleb_> amirman84: got it running yet?
[01:37] <caleb_> amirman84: got it running yet?
[01:37] <randomoutburst> ok Bodsda and mgl445 i ran gparted and it shows /dev/sda1 as an 18gig ext2 partition and then it shows 18 gigs as unallocated space, so does that mean everything got erased?
[01:37] <caleb_> amirman84: got it running yet?
[01:37] <X-plo> Wannabe, I don't know why I'm getting Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
[01:37] <Bodsda> dave11, its in universe repo   search    xmms2
[01:37] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:37] <Wannabe> X-plo, maybe some python is needed wait a mom
[01:37] <Gabyto> Hola...
[01:37] <CelsoLeite> I need help!
[01:37] <Bodsda> randomoutburst, yep
[01:37] <amirman84> caleb_: i was wondering do i change the group setting in the permissions tab? or keep it as root?
[01:37] <bazhang> !es | Gabyto
[01:37] <Bodsda> randomoutburst, wait -- its meant to be a windows drive yeah?
[01:38] <randomoutburst> my hard drive?
[01:38] <tanath> mgl445, not sure i have the time to help you with that... i've been trying to disentangle myself from irc for a while now. i think someone else would be better suited to help you with that anyway
[01:38] <Y-Town>     trying to load 8.04 and seems to be stuck at the partitioner loading... anyone seen that?
[01:38] <FAJALOU> danbhfive:  so just c&p the new uuid into fstab?
[01:38] <Wannabe> X-plo, sudo apt-get install binutils-dev see if that gets anyfixes
[01:38] <amirman84> caleb_: because you said to change the owner from root to me but you didnt mention the group setting
[01:38] <Bodsda> randomoutburst, the drive in question -- is it meant to be windows or ubuntu?
[01:38] <mgl445> tanath: alright thanks
[01:38] <Gabyto> ubottu inglis
[01:38] <randomoutburst> originally it had windows xp on it yes if that is what you mean
[01:38] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: ya
[01:38] <frogmeat> Hi all, I just did the upgrade to 8.04 and firefox is not finding a server.  Anyone know how to get back online? as most of you see, I am in fact online.
[01:38] <randomoutburst> actually it has nothing on it right now
[01:38] <frenzy> is there a way to do a install of ubuntu 8.04 with the live cd without formattting the drive?
[01:38] <bazhang> Gabyto, /join #ubuntu-es
[01:38] <randomoutburst> but yes it was meant to be a windows drive
[01:38] <caleb_> amirman84: you can leave that the same, just change the access to read and write
[01:38] <jw5801> t
[01:38] <Gabyto> not help =)
[01:38] <Bodsda> randomoutburst, well -- not anymore im afraid --
[01:39] <Gabyto> Hello
[01:39] <UberCanuck> frogmeat, is firefox offline?
[01:39] <bobbins2482> to frenzy cant you just run from the cd?
[01:39] <randomoutburst> ok so can i get the files back?
[01:39] <mojo> Does ubuntu (hardy) have an iptables-save and iptables-restore in it's startup/shutdown by defalut?  if so, where?  ALSO: Where does ubuntu modify the firewall when i, for instance, install Samba.  Rather than my own script maybe i should be editing the system's own rules script??????? advice welcome
[01:39] <bobbins2482> thats what i did for a while
[01:39] <UberCanuck> frogmeat, in the File menu somewhere
[01:39] <Y-Town>     trying to load 8.04 and seems to be stuck at the partitioner loading... anyone seen that?
[01:39] <Bodsda> randomoutburst, the files from the windows drive? unlikely, sound like its been reformatted -- u could mount it and see whats on it
[01:39] <frogmeat> Ubercanuck no it isn't
[01:39] <frenzy> my upgrade of hardy is broken, beyond repair and i want to install from the cd, but i don't really want to format the drive
[01:40] <olpcsyd> #olpc-help
[01:40] <SuperSon1c> i'm sure it's been asked a million times, but ubuntuforums is down?
[01:40] <UberCanuck> Y-Town, open a Terminal and do a /sbin/fdisk -l
[01:40] <randomoutburst> how would i mount it?
[01:40] <FAJALOU> davehdfive: so the uuid for my swap WAS wrong, so now with it changed in fstab will restart fix (hopefully) or can i restart x?
[01:40] <DaySleeper555> Y-Town Happened to me with 7.04
[01:40] <bazhang> SuperSon1c, aye
[01:40] <frogmeat> Work offline is not chekced
[01:40] <SuperSon1c> thx man
[01:40] <Starnestommy> SuperSon1c: database error
[01:40] <UberCanuck> frogmeat, rest of your system is connected correct?
[01:40] <amirman84> caleb_: it's all done now... let me try it and see what happens
[01:40] <SuperSon1c> yar that.
[01:40] <frogmeat> yeah, I am totaly online, everything seems to work but firefox
[01:40] <Gabyto> Hello like estan all?
[01:40] <caleb_> When I change the background color on my panel, there is no box surrounding those programs that are not currently up on the screen or not hovered. Any fixes
[01:40] <Bodsda> frenzy, you can use the already made partitions for the new install -- just untick the format box when manually partitioning during install
[01:41] <X-plo> Wannabe, anything was repaired :S
[01:41] <frenzy> ok
[01:41] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: no, I dont think you can restart x, but you can run swapon -a
[01:41] <frogmeat> well, foxmarks is not online either
[01:41] <FAJALOU> ahh ok
[01:41] <dave11> Bodsda: universe repo?
[01:41] <Wannabe> X-plo, didn't wokr?
[01:41] <mgl445> alright i'm trying to compile a driver and i'm getting an error when running a ./configure script that c compiler cannot create executables. Any help would be appreciated
[01:41] <Wannabe> X-plo, didn't work*
[01:41] <Bodsda> dave11, yes
[01:41] <FAJALOU> aha, swapon -a turned back no bad errors this time.
[01:41] <FAJALOU> so it's working good
[01:41] <dave11> Bodsda: whats that?
[01:41] <orudie> i just intalled vlc, how can i find out where it was installed to
[01:41] <Starnestommy> mgl445: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:41] <X-plo> Wannabe, nou should I reinstall pyton again?
[01:41] <Starnestommy> orudie: type "which vlc" in a terminal
[01:41] <Bodsda> dave11, that would be the universe repository
[01:41] <orudie> i need to to set it so that it would use vlc to open specific files
[01:41] <frenzy> it's telling me no root file system is defined
[01:41] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: should be
[01:41] <FAJALOU> ok cool
[01:42] <dave11> Bodsda: is it a third party repo?
[01:42] <Wannabe> X-plo, how'd install it the first time?
[01:42] <FAJALOU> danbhfive: thx for the help
[01:42] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: np
[01:42] <[T]an2> i am looking for a solution for printing mailing labels from either mysql or a csv file. is there anything out there like this? i have about 500 names to create lables for.
[01:42] <UberCanuck> orudie, dpkg -L vlc
[01:42] <randomoutburst> how would i mount it Bodsda?
[01:42] <Bodsda> dave11, no, second tick box on the firsttab
[01:42] <Starnestommy> frenzy: did you create a partition that used / as a mount point?
[01:42] <Bodsda> randomoutburst, what is the path /dev/sda2?
[01:42] <randomoutburst> the only path is /dev/sada1
[01:42] <X-plo> Wannabe, I didn't remember maybe when i was installing some packages
[01:42] <dave11> Bodsda: yeah, i have that and all i can find is esperanza
[01:42] <frenzy> no
[01:42] <UberCanuck> [T]an2, doesn't openoffice have a simplistic db connector, including odbc - so you can do csv files
[01:43] <r00tintheb0x> lol @ http://ubuntuforums.org/
[01:43] <Bodsda> dave11, 8.04?
[01:43] <dave11> Bodsda: yes
[01:43] <Wannabe> X-plo, Hmm
[01:43] <Y-Town> UberCanuck: thanks.....seems to me moving along now....guess it needed the padles to start it  :o)
[01:43] <amirman84> caleb_: it's working, you left a part out in that pastebin though but it's a part you mentioned earlier which was to make the .bin file executable so it's working now
[01:43] <frenzy> it's mounted at /dev/sda1
[01:43] <[T]an2> UberCanuck: dunno. never thought of that
[01:43] <MTeck> can I not install /boot to a drive that's on software RAID?
[01:43] <amirman84> caleb_: is this game an MMO?
[01:43] <caleb_> amirman84: ahh, ok, my name in the game is auror, i'm going to beam up now
[01:43] <Bodsda> randomoutburst, do      sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/drive && cd /mnt/drive

[01:45] <mojo> Does ubuntu (hardy) have an iptables-save and iptables-restore in it's startup/shutdown by defalut?  if so, where?  ALSO: Where does ubuntu modify the firewall when i, for instance, install Samba.  Rather than my own script maybe i should be editing the system's own rules script??????? advice welcome
[01:45] <danbhfive> FAJALOU: maybe put it in your /home/user directory
[01:46] <randomoutburst> im working in SystemRescueCD Bodsda, and that doesnt do anything it says "cant find /dev/sda1/mnt/drive in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"

[02:00] <unop> randomoutburst, there is an undelete utility for extX filesystems .. not sure how reliable it is, but it's worth a try.
[02:00] <DaySleeper555> zainag, try using Wine Desktop
[02:00] <SeaPhor> randomoutburst, what was the file system they wer on?
[02:00] <Q_Continuum> Fresh install of Ubuntu (8.04) migrating over Evolution data from 7.10 - I copied over the .evolution folder, but it still is prompting me for the 'new setup wizard' - any ideas how to bypass it?

[02:00] <randomoutburst> NTFS
[02:00] <Bodsda> unop, i believe he has formatted an ntfs drive to ext2
[02:00] <zainag> how is Wine desktop different?
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> zainag: wine doesn't have a desktop.
[02:01] <c0rr> Q_Continuum: make sure your permissions are correct to read the evolution directory
[02:01] <SeaPhor> randomoutburst, i have a way of recovery, join me in # SeaPhor
[02:01] <Kohlrak> now y'all just confusin' him
[02:01] <DaySleeper555> zainag It has emulated desktop
[02:01] <bobbins2482> is there a wireless internet irc channel? !
[02:01] <kitche> Q_Continuum: umm you might need to import the settings since evolution might not understand the old data
[02:01] <Kohlrak> there should be XD
[02:01] <c0rr> chmod ug+rw .evolution <-- should be okay
[02:01] <FAJALOU> i did a fresh install of ubuntu iit doesn't work...

[02:01] <DaySleeper555> zainag that you control like regular window
[02:01] <c0rr> chmod ug+rw,o-wrx .evolution <-- should be okay
[02:01] <Bodsda> bobbins2482, #bobbins2482WifiProbs
[02:02] <Q_Continuum> kitche: I never did an 'export' - what file should I be importing?
[02:02] <FAJALOU> is there any knowledge of when ubuntu forums is going to be back up?
[02:02] <amazen720> "Can not get the ticket cache for root", trying to connect to printer via share Xp machine, any help?

[02:04] <rich1> crdlb: will it require a restart?
[02:04] <Kohlrak> um
[02:04] <Kohlrak> hm
[02:04] <crdlb> rich1: yes
[02:04] <Kohlrak> !register
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> FAJALOU: will it work as a normal mouse, or are you trying to set up extra buttons, or what?
[02:04] <Bodsda> FAJALOU, you said you had to do something everytime to make it work -- couldyou not write a script to do that for you?
[02:04] <SeaPhor> randomoutburst, i have used a software and recoverd alll pics of any type from a formatted hd

[02:06] <randomoutburst> oh ok
[02:06] <rich1> ricanelite: i have used miro.
[02:06] <ricanelite> has it been stable for you?
[02:06] <ricanelite> also are they still working on it?
[02:07] <ricanelite> because i love it but it has not been stable for me at all
[02:07] <orudie> for some reason the sound doesnt work when using digital output
[02:07] <c0rr> mit. awesome.
[02:07] <ricanelite> rich1, is there any similar to miro out there for Linux?
[02:07] <rich1> i worked fine for me.  i haven't used it for acouple of months, though.
[02:07] <niriven> I know this isnt an ubuntu problem specificly, but i cant seem to get wine to work with low resolutions on m widescreen, without it cutting off the bottom of the screen
[02:07] <niriven> Anyone have this problem?
[02:07] <c0rr> micro?
[02:08] <Bodsda> !paste | bobbins2482
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> niriven: wine shoudl work regardless of screen res.. or are you having an issue getting an application working in wine?
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> wine does not have a gui.
[02:08] <rich1> isn't miro democracy tv or democracy tv became miro?  one way or the other.  check synaptic.
[02:08] <orudie> does anyone know why digital output does not have any sound ?
[02:08] <rich1> ricanelite: isn't miro democracy tv or democracy tv became miro?  one way or the other.  check synaptic.
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: probably because its not set up right.
[02:09] <ricanelite> dont know
[02:09] <ricanelite> rich1, going to check synaptic now
[02:09] <niriven> IndyGunFreak, No, the game runs. The bottom of the screen (when fullscreen at 640x480) is cut off an inch. Others have this problem too but i see no solution
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> niriven: who knows, but your issue isn't with wine per se
[02:10] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, how can i check if its set up right ?
[02:10] <DaySleeper555> nirivien type winecfg in terminal try using "Emulated desktop" option
[02:10] <niriven> IndyGunFreak, Yes, it is. I run in 640x480 mode without wine with no problems.
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> orudie: well, first you need to know what device you have.
[02:10] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, i go to system pref sounds and choose the playback device as digital, the test and i hear no sound
[02:10] <belor1> I have a IPOD and i was wondering what program i could use to get music on it its a Gen 2 and im running 8.04
[02:10] <niriven> DaySleeper555, Yup, ive been running like that, but thats windowed :(
[02:11] <Y-Town> belor1: gtkpod
[02:11] <nickellery> belor1: you can use gtkpod
[02:11] <belor1> Y-Town: thanks for your quick respinse
[02:11] <orudie> IndyGunFreak, it detected my integrated into motherboard sound card as ALC883, and detected that it has both analog and digital ouputs, so when i test it as analog, sound works, when i test it as digital, there is no sound
[02:11] <nickellery> belor1: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/musicvideophotos/C/music-dap.html#music-dap-ipod
[02:11] <bbyever> how can i  sync my evolution calendar with my google calendar (or any other google calendar)?
[02:12] <DaySleeper555> nirivien if you change screen res to 640x480 you shouldn't see borders?
[02:12] <fiyawerx> anyone know how to install a downloaded firefox theme in jar format?
[02:12] <Maimster> Sup everyone.
[02:12] <niriven> DaySleeper555, True, that works also, kinda 'cheap' though
[02:12] <remi> does anyone know a simple software for linux that would allow me to control the volume level with the mouse wheel?
[02:12] <nmukh> Hello all, is this a place where I can get some help regarding sound problems with my Ubuntu installation?
[02:12] <Compinche> Hardy + Compiz + Nvidia GeForce 6200 = impossible (so far) to get desktop effects to work. EnvyNd, Repos drivers, Nvidia's drivers, restricted on/off, many things did I tried, nothing to get graphic acceleration up. Any hints? Thanks
[02:12] <DaySleeper555> nirivien well... :(
[02:13] <niriven> DaySleeper555, Thanks, though :)
[02:13] <kneeki> To copy all the contents of a directory using terminal (including all sub dirs) what command do I use? 'sudo cp *.* DESTINATION' is only copying files, and adding in the -r doesn't help.
[02:13] <DaySleeper555> nirivien try asking in #winehq
[02:13] <Kohlrak> wow
[02:13] <Starnestommy> Kohlrak: use * instead of *.*
[02:13] <Kohlrak> gnome just restarted on me and i didn't press the magic 3
[02:13] <Starnestommy> er, whoops
[02:13] <niriven> DaySleeper555, I tried, they basically said the same thing, ill wait for a better response there
[02:13] <Starnestommy> kneeki: use * instead of *.*
[02:14] <Kohlrak> XD
[02:14] <kneeki> Starnestommy: lol, thanks =p
[02:14] <Kohlrak> what was that all about? XD
[02:14] <Starnestommy> Kohlrak: I tab-completed the wrong nick
[02:14] <nmukh> Can someone tell me why I'm not able to get 5.1 sound from my speakers, only the front two speakers are working
[02:14] <Kohlrak> oh
[02:14] <Y-Town> Kohlrak: it was using XP files  :o)
[02:14] <Kohlrak> XD
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> remi: can't you just mouse over the sound applet and use the scroll wheel?.. thats what i do.
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> remi:  if you want to do some fancy things with the mouse the program http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/    can be handy.  Its not too hard to install.  You could bind the buttons to be the system vol up/down, or to commands to up/lower the volume i guess.
[02:14] <ZMorgan> Hello everyone, I'm running Gutsy64 and trying to get a DVD to play... help please
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> remi:  i agree with IndyGunFreak - Thats what i normally do also
[02:15] <DaySleeper555> ZMorgan you probably need propietary codecs to play it
[02:16] <fiyawerx> ah, got it, you have to drag the jar onto the theme manager window
[02:16] <bbyever>  how can i  sync my evolution calendar with my google calendar (or any other google calendar)?
[02:16] <fiyawerx> thats... rather unintuitive
[02:16] <remi> Dr_Willis & IndyGunFreak, thanks! I didn't know about scrolling over the volume icon — and I'll try btnx!
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[02:16] <Dr_Willis> remi:  Linux desktops are full of 'logically making sence features' like that. :)
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> remi:  roll the wheel over the  'task list' also  it will switch apps i think.
[02:17] <Y-Town> ZMorgan: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661833&highlight=codecs.   wheb the forums come up
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> remi:  and over the pager = change desktops

[02:17] <zelrikriando> eh with what I can read DVD's easily
[02:17] <zainag> DaySleeper555 thanks for the suggesting, however is there a more permanent solution or is this one of the limitations in Wine?
[02:18] <rek|raft> hello!!!!!!!!!!!
[02:18] <DaySleeper555> zainag I don't know I guess it depends on the applications, not all behaive the same :(
[02:18] <zainag> Thanks again ... at least I can minimize my app now :)
[02:19] <DaySleeper555> :D
[02:19] <claudy> hmmmmrrrr

[02:20] <Bodsda> fdisk -l
[02:20] <fiyawerx> fdisk -l ?
[02:20] <fiyawerx> or df -h maybe you're looking for
[02:20] <^u^> sudo fdisk -l
[02:20] <Bodsda> yeah dont forget the sudo
[02:20] <rootyrooty> fdisk -l is only listing 1 drive (and there are 3 drives / multiple partitions
[02:20] <Bodsda> ^^^^^^^^
[02:20] <orudie> what is the name of that cool looking interface which is similar to xp's quick launch bar ?
[02:20] <rootyrooty> flyawerx: will try
[02:20] <claudy> is there a way to configure the keys you need to reboot Xorg WM ? as i managed to make it crash several times pressing the wrong button on accident
[02:20] <orudie> used for shortcuts i suppose
[02:21] <Supgee> Hello. Anyone out there that can help me?
[02:21] <^u^> orudie: you thinking of awn - the dock?
[02:21] <Bodsda> probably -- whats the problem
[02:21] <erichammond> I have released images of Ubuntu for use on Amazon EC2 (see http://alestic.com).  Is there a suite of automated tests I could run to see if there are potential problems with how Ubuntu runs in this environment?
[02:21] <orudie> i dont konw
[02:21] <DaySleeper555> orudie u can add shortcut to any app on the panel
[02:21] <Supgee> Bodsda: I downloaded and installed Ubuntu (the desktop package), when I load up my computer it now gives me the option to boot in Ubuntu.
[02:21] <orudie> which is it ?
[02:22] <rootyrooty> fiyawerx Thanks !  that was it
[02:22] <Tr0gd0r> does anyone know if I can use 4GB of memory with the 32bit version of ubuntu?
[02:22] <Bodsda> Supgee, cool
[02:22] <Baatti> guys..
[02:22] <Styles__> Hey, my mouse isn't working in Ubuntu, I'm dual booting, I know my mouse and keyboard should both work because I've used them with the default install on another computer. I am attempting to installit again (dual booting too) on this computer. Now, I get in and the second after I Login aand the Ubunutu Gui loads, my mouse "craps out". Then my keyboard will too after a little bit. Any ideas?
[02:22] <Baatti> Ubuntu has a live CD right?
[02:22] <Supgee> When I boot in Ubuntu, the Ubuntu logo comes up and the orange loading bar goes back and forth for awhile, and then it goes to "BusyBox V1.1.3" and it's just a black screen with white text. How do I actually load the Ubuntu GUI?
[02:22] <genii> Tr0gd0r: With server kernel, yes
[02:22] <ZMorgan> Has anyone installed the DVD codecs on the 64 version of gutsy before? If you have please share, thanks.
[02:22] <Wyzard> Baatti: yes, the normal installation CD is a liveCD
[02:22] <llamakc> baatti: yes the install cd is a livecd
[02:22] <Fritzel> has anyone had the problem "No permission to run" with any Steam game and found a solution for it?
[02:23] <Baatti> ok, great
[02:23] <Supgee> Anyone know why when I boot in Ubuntu, I see the Ubuntu logo appear and it loads for awhile and then changes to a black screen with a bunch of white text? How do I load the Ubuntu GUI?
[02:23] <Baatti> it's almost 700MB, that'll barely fit on my CD..
[02:23] <|DAMAGE|> [21:21] <rek> i use ubuntu now, am i 31337?
[02:23] <Baatti> now, what are the major differences between Ubuntu and Fedora Core?
[02:23] <llamakc> Supgee: does it say Login:
[02:23] <DaySleeper555> Baati it will fit
[02:23] <claudy> hmmmrrrrr
[02:23] <Wyzard> Baatti: It'll fit on an 80-minute CD but not a 74-minute one
[02:24] <Baatti> yeah, it's an 80 min
[02:24] <orudie> ^u^> so is awn the best one out there?
[02:24] <Halbyrd> quick question: is there a FAQ for setting up wired and wireless networking?  i'm having trouble getting net connectivity on my laptop
[02:24] <Supgee> llamakc: All it says is "enter command, type /help for a list of available commands"
[02:24] <llamakc> that sounds like Grub, and not the system.
[02:24] <Wyzard> Baatti: CD images too big for an 80-minute disc are rare (because CD-R media longer than 80 minutes is rare)
[02:24] <langleyo> Anyone know how to recover my wastebasket in hardy heron please? i accidentally deleted it? Can't find any FAQs related to it
[02:24] <Baatti> kk
[02:24] <llamakc> oh my bad: i scrolled up and read your earlier
[02:24] <jaran> Hi! I just lost the titlebar of all my applications.. any suggestions?
[02:25] <Supgee> Yeah, so how do I fix that llamakc?
[02:25] <fidesu> holas
[02:25] <llamakc>  so you're booting into recovery mode?
[02:25] <Y-Town> langleyo: just ad the app back to the panel again
[02:25] <Baatti> now, if I run Ubuntu as a live CD everytime, and don't actually install it on my HD, I'll lose any saved data that I created while using Ubuntu OS, right?
[02:25] <langleyo> Y-town....thanks
[02:26] <Supgee> No, when I start my computer it goes, "Please select your operating system: Windows XP, or Ubuntu". I select Ubuntu, and then I see the loading bar and then it goes to a black screen with white text that says "BusyBox v1.1.3" enter your command, type /help for a list of available commands.
[02:26] <Y-Town> langleyo: right click on the panel and "add to panel".....then find the tras can
[02:26] <DaySleeper555> Baati, right
[02:26] <Styles__> Hey, my mouse isn't working in Ubuntu, I'm dual booting, I know my mouse and keyboard should both work because I've used them with the default install on another computer.

[02:26] <Baatti> kk
[02:26] <Halbyrd> quick question: is there a FAQ for setting up wired and wireless networking?  i'm having trouble getting net connectivity on my laptop
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> Baatti:  correct. Save stuff to a usb drive. Or try out some of the various live cd's with peristant  user options.
[02:26] <tim1234> ???When will we see first early images builds of ubuntu 8.10 ??
[02:27] <langleyo> Y-town: Yay dude, you rock.....was getting stressed over that...thanks
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> Baatti:  ive heard of some ubuntu variants/live cds that can do it. but never used them.
[02:27] <Supgee> when I start my computer it goes, "Please select your operating system: Windows XP, or Ubuntu". I select Ubuntu, and then I see the loading bar and then it goes to a black screen with white text that says "BusyBox v1.1.3" enter your command, type /help for a list of available commands. How do I actually get to the Ubuntu GUI?
[02:27] <Y-Town> FYI::::::: forums seem to be up again
[02:27] <Baatti> Dr_Willis: I heard that Fedora was making one but it's not out quite yet
[02:27] <llamakc> Supgee: you have had it successfully run before? or is this the results after the initial install?
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> Baatti:  im testing out Puppy Linux 4.0 right now. :) it dose that task very very well.
[02:27] <Kohlrak> wow, linux needs a decent n64 emulator, i can only find 1 and it runs at 10 frames per second o.O
[02:27] <Baatti> Dr_Willis: can you point me to an Ubuntu with persistant user Ops?
[02:27] <PMantis> If I have a desktop install, and I want to convert to server, what package should I remove/install ?
[02:27] <Supgee> Llamakc this is the result after the initial install. I've never been able to successfully run Ubuntu.
[02:28] <Baatti> Dr_Willis: hrm, puppy linux you say?
[02:28] <llamakc> Supgee: what hardware are you running it on?
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> Baatti:  yep. a big 50mb iso download. :) i got it installed to my usb thumbdrive.
[02:28] <Supgee> llamakc: what do you mean? My computer specs?
[02:28] <kitche> Kohlrak: or a good n64 emulator overall considering there are no good ones anyways
[02:28] <CyD> Kohlrak: mupen doesn't do ok for you?
[02:28] <llamakc> Supgee: yes
[02:28] <Styles__> Hey, my mouse isn't working in Ubuntu, I'm dual booting, I know my mouse and keyboard should both work because I've used them with the default install on another computer. I am attempting to installit again (dual booting too) on this computer. Now, I get in and the second after I Login aand the Ubunutu Gui loads, my mouse "craps out". Then my keyboard will too after a little bit. Any ideas?
[02:28] <kitche> Kohlrak: even on windows
[02:28] <DaySleeper555> Dr_Willis, 4.0 is about 80MB I think
[02:28] <Kohlrak> no, mupen sucks
[02:28] <Baatti> Dr_Willis: hrm.. got a link for me or you gonna make -me- google it?
[02:29] <Kohlrak> eh, i like project 64
[02:29] <Kohlrak> at least i can play a game on it
[02:29] <Supgee> llamakc: 500GB HDD, 2GB DDR2 Ram, Dual Core AMD 6400 2.0 GHZ processors, and an nvidia 7300 gfx card.
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> DaySleeper555:  yep - you may be right. I think DSL is the '50mb' or less distro. :)
[02:29] <Kohlrak> even if most games look glitcy
[02:29] <CyD> Kohlrak: i play games on mupen64 just fine. i guess it's a matter of preference :)
[02:29] <PrivateVoid> SOLVED!!!
[02:29] <DaySleeper555> Dr_Willis i'm getting 4.0 as soon as i can
[02:29] <llamakc> Supgee: you install 8.04 (32-bit?)
[02:29] <Kohlrak> 10 frames per second
[02:29] <Kohlrak> what's your configuration, CyD?
[02:29] <CyD> Kohlrak: 29.97
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> DaySleeper555:  its handy for a emergancy disk if nothingelse.
[02:29] <DaySleeper555> Dr_Willis I have more versions, all work like magic
[02:29] <poni> Hey guys :) I noticed something weird and I just can't find what's up with it - only one program is allowed to output sound.. i.e, I cant have a game open and play music, or have a movie and music player play at the same time, only the one which played first is allowed to keep on... Any ideas on this?
[02:29] <CyD> Kohlrak: like hardware-wise?
[02:29] <llamakc> brbeer
[02:29] <PrivateVoid> If I turn Sync to VBlank on it restores from suspend properly.
[02:30] <PrivateVoid> woot
[02:30] <Kohlrak> that and your software settings =p
[02:30] <Supgee> llamakc: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition - Supported to 2011
[02:30] <Styles__> Anyone here know about Mice not working ?
[02:30] <Baatti> Supgee: that's what I'm downloading right now
[02:30] <DaySleeper555> Dr_Willis and it has ntfs3g, so you can read-write to NTFS
[02:30] <CyD> Kohlrak: not much for software settings.. pretty default. play it on a athlon x2 + 7600gt and a athlon xp + 5700LE
[02:30] <kitche> poni: umm sounds like it's the sound system you are using since alsa allows more then one channel to play
[02:30] <Supgee> Aye, Baatti I can't get it to work. :(
[02:30] <Baatti> hrm
[02:30] <Baatti> maybe I oughta abort then
[02:30] <Baatti> :(
[02:31] <DaySleeper555> poni which program
[02:31] <Kohlrak> i have an athlon x2 (mobile) and default settings crashed gnome XD
[02:31] <Y-Town> Styles__: usb bluetooth, ps?
[02:31] <llamakc> Styles__: yeah when mine doesn't work i change the battery in it. otherwise more info: are they USB devices? are you plugged onto the mobo's usb, or an external usb device? or the front of the computer? what's the deal?
[02:31] <CyD> Kohlrak: nasty.. what graphics?
[02:31] <poni> DaySleeper555: Any programs... i.e I can play music in VLC just fine but if I then start WoW, WoW wont make any sound. If I start WoW and THEN start VLC, VLC wont let out sound, only WoW
[02:31] <DaySleeper555> poni u might set it to use alsa instead oss if it's audio player
[02:31] <Kohlrak> ATI Xpress 1150
[02:31] <phuzion> Whats that application that lets me install the ubuntu studio applications into an existing ubuntu installation?
[02:31] <poni> kitche: I think I use ALSA but I'm not sure on how to check that.
[02:31] <llamakc> How did you burn the cd Supgee? burn it slow as possible
[02:31] <phuzion> sorta like aptitude
[02:31] <CyD> Kohlrak: not sure how it works with composite on.. and not sure how it works with ati either
[02:32] <CyD> :(
[02:32] <Styles__> Y-Town, llamakc, They are USB devices. Its worked on another computer but this one it doesn't like. I've tried a few other keyboards / mice. Ive tried blue tooth too.
[02:32] <kneeki> Hmmm, any reason why not all the hidden files (files beginning with a .) are not being extracted from my tar.gz files?
[02:32] <Kohlrak> maybe something wrong with my drivers
[02:32] <Styles__> Y-Town they work for a escond then stop after the gui loads..
[02:32] <xuhuyang> hi

[02:33] <Y-Town> Styles__: im not sure... but I had issues with a BT keyboard and mouse so I trashed them
[02:33] <CyD> Kohlrak: i should try starfox, that'd be fun
[02:33] <poni> DaySleeper555: I think I'm using PulseAudio

[02:34] <glacialfury> I messed up the default actions on mouseclicks while playing with hotkeys for compiz - where's the best place to learn how to restore them?
[02:34] <llamakc> Supgee: when the computer starts up, just after the BIOS POST screen hit the escape key. You'll get the GRUB menu. Arrow down to recovery mode
[02:34] <Baatti> puppy-4.00-k<IP_ADDRESS>-seamonkey.iso  <<< this the puppy 4.0 I want to download?
[02:34] <DaySleeper555> poni probably VLC is configured to output through one output driver (OSS?) and other applications use ALSA, check in VLC settings
[02:34] <nmukh> How do I access ALSA through command prompt?
[02:34] <Styles__> Y-Town, any ideas?
[02:34] <poni> DaySleeper555: VLC is set to output on ALSA
[02:34] <ere4si> so any clue on how to stop ~/.thumbnails filling up?
[02:34] <Supgee> llamakac: thanks for the help, here goes nothing.

[02:35] <nmukh> give me one
[02:35] <Kohlrak> well tell me if you can run it fine
[02:35] <nmukh> llamakc: I need to reduce subwoofer volume
[02:35] <llamakc> Supgee: good luck.
[02:35] <poni> DaySleeper555: However, WINE is configured to use OSS - because ALSA isnt in the list in Winecfg
[02:35] <Kohlrak> we might run a different version of mupen too
[02:35] <Kohlrak> keep me updated =)
[02:35] <llamakc> from the cli run alsamixer
[02:35] <CyD> Kohlrak: i will, you hang around here much?
[02:35] <nmukh> llamakc: thx

[02:36] <nmukh> llamkc: That doesn't really help do you know anyway to reduce the volume on the subwoofer?
[02:36] <Kohlrak> I"m almost always known as Kohlrak or 緑さん
[02:37] <glacialfury> dryrot, click on the blue word "Audio"
[02:37] <Kohlrak> so thank you

[02:38] <Styles__> http://ubuntuforums.org/ down?
[02:38] <llamakc> nmukh: can't you just reach down and turn the subwoofer down? you want to limit a specific range of sound?
[02:39] <Kohlrak> Styles: yes
[02:39] <miyarstim> vanberge, how many slots has it got
[02:39] <glacialfury> I accidentally set the cube rotation hotkey to the right mouse button - now I don't get a context menu when I right-click on files.  How can I restore this?

[02:39] <Styles__> DaySleeper555 weren't you helping me with my problem of the stupid mouse not working?
[02:39] <kindofabuzz> nmukh: i don't think it's possible unless you have a soundcard with multible outputs, like the sw has it's own plug
[02:39] <chrissy> Any one ever have an issue wen trying to dual boot, ubu. installed first but the windows install disk cant seam to detect any partitions, be it that its a ubu partition or a blank nfst?
