[06:49] <skippy> ijeff: the average monitor is stuck at 1280x1024 @ 60khz refresh rate
[06:49] <jrsims> HEY, how can I get drop-shadows in gnome?
[06:49] <SurfnKid> well i gotta get some work done around here or ill be outta money :P
[06:49] <Roots> I mean OpenGL, sorry. Thanks
[06:49] <ijeff> skippy: i run it much higher than this on windows
[06:50] <particleman> ooh
[06:50] <particleman> thank you!
[06:50] <particleman> let's see if this works
[06:50] <JohnsonE> i need to know the command for making a hard drive (partition) with global write access. I was told to do "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" but it was already set to defaults
[06:50] <skippy> ijeff, go into windows and note what resolution you use, then set up ubuntu to use that resolution
[06:50] <Fujitsu> libgl1-mesa-dev, Roots.
[06:50] <lonegeek> does anyone one know of a video to xvid convertor ( similiar to autogk for windows)
[06:50] <ijeff> skippy: but it doesn't seem to recognize my external monitor as my primary, is there a way to change this?
[06:50] <Daskies> Madpilot, Any ideas? Is there another scanning software?
[06:50] <Madpilot> JohnsonE, what format is the partition?
[06:50] <JohnsonE> ext3
[06:50] <skippy> ijeff im afraid i dont know about that, your should be able to
[06:50] <skippy> !ati
[06:50] <ubotu> I guess ati is http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html#installatidriver or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ... the radeon 9200 and below are supported by the open-source drivers
[06:50] <Madpilot> Daskies, I don't own a scanner myself, I'm afraid
[06:51] <ijeff> skippy: 1600x1200?@ 77Hz
[06:51] <Daskies> Oh, drats, tritium?
[06:51] <maikol> photoshop and/or flash work with wine?
[06:51] <Roots> I have libg11-mesa-dev installed already though :|
[06:51] <Madpilot> Daskies, have you see the Ubuntu wiki's scanner pages?
[06:51] <uXp> hello
[06:51] <JohnsonE> madpilot: ext3 (if you didn't see)
[06:51] <uXp> Can anyone help me out here?
[06:51] <Fujitsu> Roots, apparently not.
[06:51] <ToHellWithGA> maikol: does The GIMP not do it for you?
[06:51] <Fujitsu> !helpme
[06:51] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we cannot actually help you. :)
[06:51] <Daskies> Madpilot, Yes, totally unhelpful other than to tell me it can work >_<
[06:51] <ijeff> skippy: but the fact that i have an ati card, will it work? Radeon mobility 7500
[06:51] <maikol> ToHellWithGA: havent really tried the gimp yet
[06:51] <uXp> I need help installing my nvidia
[06:51] <Fujitsu> maikol, please do.
[06:51] <srxnr> j can't seem to find "flashplayer-nonfree"
[06:51] <Roots> Well synatpic shows it as installed. I will re-install it and see
[06:51] <Madpilot> Daskies, heh... been there, done that, with other hardware... :|
[06:52] <maikol> ToHellWithGA: was just wondering. does it do animation?
[06:52] <Versed`> well it's there and free worth a shot.
[06:52] <skippy> ijeff, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and tell it you want that resolution, make sure you choose "medium" monitor setup and tell it to use that refresh rate and res
[06:52] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell uXp about nvidia
[06:52] <srxnr> how can i install flash in firefox
[06:52] <ToHellWithGA> maikol: it's not as pretty as photoshop but do check it out.  it does animation
[06:52] <Fujitsu> uXp, see the message from Ubotu.
[06:52] <skippy> ijeff i dont see why not
[06:52] <Fujitsu> ToHellWithGA, it's great.
[06:52] <JohnsonE> srx, did you ever get your disk writeable?
[06:52] <skippy> if the card can reach that res in windows then it can reach it in linux
[06:52] <maikol> alright then ill check it out. thanks ToHellWithGA and Fujitsu.
[06:52] <kieran_> Excuse my language, but this is fucking stupid.
[06:52] <uXp> ok
[06:52] <tritium> srxnr: install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:52] <Fujitsu> kieran_, watch your language please.
[06:52] <ToHellWithGA> Fujitsu: i never said it wasn't.  i use it almost daily to tweak my cell phone camera pics into tolerable images
[06:52] <Fujitsu> kieran_, what's the problem?
[06:52] <kieran_> installing ubuntu PPC
[06:53] <Farnaby> ok, wtf, ubuntu is hanging instead of restarting and I need to get some sleep
[06:53] <Versed`> I have it running fine on a g4 450
[06:53] <kieran_> Thats nice.
[06:53] <Fujitsu> kieran_, what's the /problem/?
[06:53] <kieran_> The bootstrap partition.
[06:53] <JohnsonE> REPEAT: i need to know the command for making a hard drive (partition) with global write access. I was told to do "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" but it was already set to defaults
[06:53] <Fujitsu> kieran_, what is it (not) doing?
[06:53] <ijeff> skippy: im there, i dont see a "medium" choice
[06:53] <srxnr> install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:53] <srxnr> srxnr@XIXIXI-IXIXIX:~$ install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:53] <srxnr> install: missing destination file operand after `flashplugin-nonfree'
[06:53] <srxnr> Try `install --help' for more information.
[06:53] <srxnr> srxnr@XIXIXI-IXIXIX:~$
[06:53] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, what format is the partition>
[06:53] <maikol> Farnaby: yeah that happened to me as well. just reset it via ctrl-alt backspace

[06:54] <srxnr> sorry
[06:54] <Farnaby> miakol, done but just surprising
[06:54] <ijeff> skippy: yes
[06:54] <maikol> Farnaby: yeah
[06:54] <srxnr> i thought it was going to paste slow
[06:54] <tritium> srxnr: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:54] <Farnaby> and crap timing
[06:54] <kieran_> Ive formatted a 2.4mb partition as HFS, set the /boot flag, and i *STILL* get the error message "No NewWorld bootsrap partition was found, yaboot requires......."
[06:54] <skippy> ijeff, it is a step by step process, monitor setup is right at the end - it is after the bit where you tell it what res you want
[06:54] <Farnaby> soon as this beer is gone its sleep time
[06:54] <Daskies> tritium, Any ideas?
[06:54] <Farnaby> smoke while reboot occurs
[06:54] <maikol> cheers, im off
[06:54] <ijeff> is it supposed to be past keyboard setup?
[06:55] <ijeff> skippy: is it supposed to be past keyboard setup?
[06:55] <skippy> ijeff, yes
[06:55] <Hexidigital_> Farnaby:: out of beer? i'll ssh you one
[06:55] <ToHellWithGA> Farnaby, maikol: peace
[06:55] <tritium> Daskies: what's the status?
[06:55] <skippy> ijeff,  quite a long way past
[06:55] <JohnsonE> REPEAT: i need to know the command for making a hard drive (partition) with global write access. I was told to do "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" but it was already set to defaults
[06:55] <skippy> ijeff,  just keep trying it untill it works
[06:55] <tritium> !repeeat
[06:55] <ubotu> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, tritium
[06:55] <tritium> !repeat
[06:55] <Daskies> tritium, "Drats, didn't work. I run Xsane and then I get "scanning for devices" then if I put another window over top of it, and then put it to the top again it goes blank, and when I try and quit I get a force quit thing"

[06:55] <srxnr> can't find the package
[06:55] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, what type of partition is it!?
[06:56] <tritium> srxnr: it's in multiverse
[06:56] <JohnsonE> fujitsu: ext3
[06:56] <ToHellWithGA> srxnr: have you done a "sudo apt-get update" ?
[06:56] <skippy> JohnsonE,  paste your fstab to pastebin, so we can all look at it
[06:56] <Daskies> tritium, I've also tried typing "kooka" into the terminal, and nothing
[06:56] <srxnr> whats a good book to learn linux?
[06:56] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, you'll need to set the permissions on it properly... But why do you want it world-writable!?

[06:56] <srxnr> i noticed ubuntu uses debian
[06:56] <ToHellWithGA> ubotu: tell srxnr about multiverse
[06:56] <Fujitsu> srxnr, it is a derivative of Debian.
[06:56] <uXp> great thanks guy!!
[06:56] <Hexidigital_> srxnr:: i read Learn Unix in 10 Minutes as a starter...
[06:57] <uXp> guys*!!
[06:57] <Fujitsu> No problem, uXp.
[06:57] <JohnsonE> fujitsu: i don't want it WORLD writeable... just.. so i can write to it >_> I can't get to the fstab though because the internet doesn't work right on my installation.
[06:57] <uXp> quick question
[06:57] <Hexidigital_> srxnr:: that will get you up to speed on the basic commands
[06:57] <uXp> tho
[06:57] <Sivik> !myspl
[06:57] <ubotu> Sivik: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:57] <ToHellWithGA> srxnr: if you ever want to try you luck with the bot, you can "/msg ubotu question" and see if it has any auto-replies.  they're usually helpful
[06:57] <Sivik> !mysql
[06:57] <JohnsonE> I can tell you that /media/allegro is set to defaults and it had a 0 and a 2 by it..
[06:57] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, err... Why do you need internet access to get to the fstab!?
[06:57] <_RCM_> word!!! i finially got dual on my vaio laptop
[06:57] <ijeff> skippy: kk thx gonna restart
[06:57] <uXp> what is this thing they metion about hedgehog or breezy badger?
[06:57] <srxnr> the apt-get update
[06:57] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, it's nothing to do with fstab.
[06:57] <tritium> uXp: previous releases
[06:58] <srxnr> i think it just read it
[06:58] <uXp> ah
[06:58] <srxnr> not installed
[06:58] <JohnsonE> fujitsu: internet works on my live cd, but not my installation. so I'm on the live cd now, not my actuall install
[06:58] <srxnr> "Fetched"
[06:58] <Sivik> ok, what program do i need to install in order to view pages that mysql in them?
[06:58] <uXp> i have the recent ubuntu so i should be fine right?
[06:58] <Hexidigital_> uXp:: yes
[06:58] <tritium> srxnr: then you need to setup the multiverse repo, and apt-get update
[06:58] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, `sudo chown -R username:username /path/to/mountpoint.
[06:58] <uXp> k thx
[06:58] <uXp> <3
[06:58] <ToHellWithGA> srxnr: check for a message where ubotu highlighted you.  i asked him to tell you about enabling multiverse
[06:58] <skippy> uXp,  its supported for 200 years :)
[06:58] <ToHellWithGA> him?  her?
[06:58] <JohnsonE> fujitsu: username:username?
[06:58] <Sivik> You have an error in your SQL syntax, how do i fix that error
[06:58] <ToHellWithGA> is ubotu a her, you guys?
[06:58] <Hexidigital_> skippy:: hehe... or at least until mankind exists
[06:58] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, replace it with your username.
[06:58] <uXp> wich ubuntu?
[06:59] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, or replace them both with 1000
[06:59] <srxnr> ToHellWithGA: I'm a bit confused.
[06:59] <Fujitsu> Sivik, where are you getting that error?
[06:59] <skippy> i imagine ubotu to be an attractive female script
[06:59] <fishhead> Hello, I am using a ssh connection to connect with my website's server through nautilus and now I can edit files directly on the server with gedit, however I can't get gphpedit or gimp to edit files on the server the same way, can anyone out there help out?

[06:59] <danial> troy_s: If you are still here: Seems setting my IP to static and manually removing the router from the DNS list has fixed it
[06:59] <Sivik> Fugitsu: going to the www.marvel.com website

[07:00] <uXp> help! installing flash on firefox
[07:00] <pacino> guys - I have a driver for a USB TouchScreen - telling me to install to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input - but Dapper doesn't have that folder by default - do I just create the folders or is there somewhere else for input drivers?
[07:00] <uXp> !help*
[07:00] <ubotu> uXp: No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:00] <Daskies> tritium, I uninstalled xsane, and reinstalled, but nothing
[07:00] <Fujitsu> Sivik, that's their problem.
[07:00] <Sivik> Fugitsu: ok
[07:00] <xuexiewen> hello,where can i download the glib
[07:00] <tritium> Daskies: what was that driver package you installed?
[07:00] <d00bysnax> can anybody tell me where to download airodump for Ubuntu?
[07:00] <tritium> xuexiewen: it's in the repositories
[07:00] <kieran_> No NewWorld boot partition was found. The yaboot boot loader requires an Apple_Bootstrap partition at least 819200 bytes in size, using the HFS Macintosh file system.
[07:00] <Daskies> tritium, "libsane-extras" but I removed it
[07:00] <danial> It is kinda a cheap way around it, but it does fix the problem.
[07:00] <tritium> Daskies: is your scanner supported?
[07:01] <uXp> who was gonna install flash on firefox here?
[07:01] <Sivik> !flash
[07:01] <ubotu> Installation & troubleshooting for Flash is covered in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[07:01] <Daskies> tritium, Yes
[07:01] <tritium> Daskies: dunno, then
[07:01] <danial> I thought...
[07:01] <Sivik> !tell uXp about flash
[07:01] <ToHellWithGA> uXp: tritium was
[07:01] <shrump_jimbo> hooray I got AMP running
[07:01] <ijeff> XD
[07:01] <tritium> ToHellWithGA: not me
[07:01] <xuexiewen> what the meaning of "repositorie"
[07:02] <pacino> does anyone know where X11 input drivers are installed under Dapper?
[07:02] <ToHellWithGA> oh right on you were telling srxnr
[07:02] <uXp> haha i got viewing restricted files on .avi and stuff!! =]
[07:02] <d00bysnax> can anybody tell me where to download airodump for Ubuntu?
[07:02] <xuexiewen> #ubuntu --cn
[07:02] <_extricate_> http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=repository
[07:02] <tritium> xuexiewen: servers where the packages can be obtained through apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic
[07:02] <Daskies> tritium, If I do "sudo /etc/init.d/hpoj setup" and probe for usb devices it doesn't go if that helps . . .
[07:02] <_RCM_> which repository is airodump found in?
[07:02] <ToHellWithGA> uXp: it's the same thing.  multiverse/universe deal with non-free formats and files
[07:02] <tritium> Daskies: it's an HP?
[07:02] <ijeff> hmm who was I talking to before?
[07:02] <d00bysnax> _RCM_ i am askin that question too
[07:03] <Daskies> tritium, Yes HP 1510xi fully supported
[07:03] <uXp> huh?
[07:03] <uXp> tohell what you mean?
[07:03] <ijeff> Is there a way to set my external monitor from laptop as primary monitor?
[07:03] <ToHellWithGA> uXp: somebody sent you the link to flash.  it's the same as all the other non-free stuff.  it's multiverse
[07:03] <Daskies> tritium, I'm gonna' try putting it in a different USB port and restarting, so I'll brb
[07:03] <tritium> Daskies: okay
[07:03] <uXp> no i was tlaking about soemthing else
[07:04] <uXp> watching .av files and stuff
[07:04] <uXp> but i get you

[07:05] <Desh_> joey_botchat: Xmms is a winamp like audio player
[07:05] <ToHellWithGA> joey_botchat: hold the phone
[07:05] <joey_botchat> why would i want winamp wen im trying to install xamp
[07:05] <ToHellWithGA> xmms is crap

[07:05] <ToHellWithGA> beep-media-player is a revised xmms
[07:05] <ToHellWithGA> quod libet is pretty nice
[07:06] <skippy> _extricate_ yeah it should be easy, is windows allready on the menu.lst as an item?
[07:06] <Healot> for amarok, you need akode libraries, restart the sound deamon, or worse restart your PC :)
[07:06] <Healot> before your can play your files
[07:06] <skippy> _extricate_,  poste your grub config to pastebin and ill have a look for you

[07:07] <ToHellWithGA> devil_: do you have a DVD player?
[07:07] <ToHellWithGA> i've never figured out why anyone would use a desktop to play DVDs
[07:07] <devil_> i guess so
[07:08] <_RCM_> ijeff: im not registered yet pvm me
[07:08] <_RCM_> i figured it out today
[07:08] <ToHellWithGA> i usually put my DVDs in my DVD player and watch them on my TV
[07:08] <Farnaby> tohellwithGA: region free is one reason
[07:08] <devil_> the totem, it couldn't read my DVD
[07:08] <ToHellWithGA> call me crazy :p
[07:08] <skippy> ToHellWithGA,  if your desktop is within range of your bed or your sofa then DVDs are fair game :)
[07:08] <Hexidigital_> ToHellWithGA:: i could if a projector was set up... a nice 62 inch wall as a screen :) (i keep dreaming)
[07:08] <ToHellWithGA> skippy: small monitor
[07:08] <uXp> hmm
[07:08] <devil_> lucky u, i don't have a dvd
[07:08] <uXp> i tried the nvidia thing and i get an error
[07:08] <ToHellWithGA> devil_: good reason :D
[07:08] <uXp> Error: your X configuration has been altered.
[07:08] <uXp> This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this

[07:10] <_RCM_> ijeff: do you have a display on both so far?
[07:10] <ToHellWithGA> that's like using windows media player for music in windows
[07:10] <schmity_> can i install ubuntu through firewire from my mac?
[07:10] <skippy> someone needs to just stick all the restricted formats stuff into a script
[07:10] <uXp> how do i change nv to nvidia?
[07:10] <ToHellWithGA> there are alternatives that work easier and better
[07:10] <tritium> uXp: edit the file
[07:10] <alkali> nv is the nvidia driver.....
[07:10] <devil_> what r they ?
[07:10] <ToHellWithGA> devil_: for music give beep-media-player a spin if you want old school winamp-esque styling
[07:11] <troy_s> alkali: nv is the open source nvidia driver.
[07:11] <tritium> alkali: nvidia is the binary-only driver
[07:11] <ToHellWithGA> if you want library-based stuff try quod libet
[07:11] <devil_> winamp ?
[07:11] <alkali> troy_s, right thats what we use in linux
[07:11] <_RCM_> uXp: download the actual nvidia driver instead of the opensource one
[07:11] <alkali> ah
[07:11] <devil_> lemme try
[07:11] <alkali> I stand educated
[07:11] <tritium> _RCM_: no, there are ubuntu packages.  No need to download them
[07:11] <uXp> from a CD you mean? _RCM_?
[07:11] <troy_s> alkali:  there is a proprietary driver called 'nvidia'
[07:11] <troy_s> alkali:  binary blob
[07:11] <ToHellWithGA> devil_: rhythmbox, quod libet, and beep-media-player are the ones i'd recommend
[07:11] <alkali> kind of like there is an ati driver and an fglrx driver?
[07:11] <tritium> uXp: do _not_ download them from nvidia.com.  They're already packaged up for you in ubuntu
[07:11] <ToHellWithGA> all three are available through synaptic
[07:11] <skippy> uXp,  the nvidia driver is abtainable with "sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-glx"
[07:12] <avis> skippy is that a 686 kernel ?
[07:12] <tritium> don't need the kernel-common package
[07:12] <skippy> then uXp  "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and change "vesa" or "nv" for nvidia
[07:12] <Daskies> tritium, Update: I moved it to two different ports, and each time I got a "cannot find" error. Also, on start up loading "pcmcia" fails
[07:12] <_RCM_> tritium: i meant get the one from apt-get and change X11 to use it
[07:12] <kieran_> For gods sake.
[07:12] <tritium> _RCM_: okay, cool
[07:12] <skippy> avis,  im not sure i think nvidia driver is availiable for all architectures
[07:12] <devil_> rythmbox doesn't work
[07:12] <kieran_> Now i find out, you cant create a newworld boot partition via the gui based installer.
[07:12] <ijeff> _RCM_: yes i see the same on my external as on my laptop
[07:13] <kieran_> Youd think theyd mention that in the docs, eh
[07:13] <alkali> uXp, you could always sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose nvidia as the driver
[07:13] <ijeff> tritium: radeon mobility 7500 - twinview is working auto
[07:13] <tritium> ijeff: your'e using fglrx or ati driver?
[07:13] <Sivik> after one installs those files and edits the xorg.conf file, will the nvidia work on the next restart of the xsession
[07:14] <_RCM_> ijeff: if you could send me a copy of your X11 i could edit and comment changes
[07:14] <ijeff> tritium: ati driver,  fglrx doesn't support mine
[07:14] <ijeff> _RCM_: where can i find that?
[07:14] <tritium> ijeff: cool, see the manpage for "radeon".  It'll have the options you need for your xorg.conf
[07:14] <Sivik> ijeff: ati is bad for linux
[07:14] <_RCM_> /etc/X11
[07:14] <alkali> is the radeon driver deprecated or just unused?
[07:14] <tritium> ijeff: e.g., "MonitorLayout"
[07:14] <uXp> alkali
[07:14] <ijeff> sivik: it's all i got
[07:14] <mutil8> evening
[07:14] <skippy> semi-deprecated, it is still useful for certain cards
[07:15] <skippy> afaik
[07:15] <Sivik> ijeff: i'm sorry
[07:15] <ijeff> tritium: manpage?
[07:15] <mutil8> anybody know what causes the installer to hang at 'detecting file systems'
[07:15] <tritium> ijeff: type "man radeon", or use the gnome help system
[07:15] <mutil8> i've got an amd64 setup here on an NF4 board
[07:15] <uXp> hey alkali
[07:15] <ToHellWithGA> kieran_: it must be nice to have two PCs
[07:15] <fishhead> can someone help me with using gphpedit to edit files through a server connection in nautilus
[07:15] <kieran_> ToHellWithGA: what?
[07:15] <alkali> just curious, there was an ati driver, radeon driver (old and new), and fglrx driver.
[07:16] <pradeep> im having problems installing mldonkey : mldonkey-server: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[07:16] <acidjedi> Hey all
[07:16] <ToHellWithGA> when i break something installing an OS i have to go to the library to get on IRC and fish myself out
[07:16] <alkali> whats up uXp \
[07:16] <tritium> alkali: radeon options still work with ati driver
[07:16] <Ashex> My package management system appears to have been broken by a bad package. But for some reason I can't remove it: http://pastebin.com/769121
[07:16] <acidjedi> My windows just crashed, and I switched finally to ubuntu
[07:16] <ToHellWithGA> then bring that recon back to my home and apply my fresh knowledge
[07:16] <acidjedi> screw windows
[07:16] <uXp> i don't know what to do under the configure xserver-xorg
[07:16] <kieran_> ToHellWithGA: Im booting from the live cd at the min
[07:16] <_RCM_> ijeff: have you taken a look at the xorg.conf file yet?
[07:16] <kieran_> that is really pathetic though
[07:16] <ToHellWithGA> yeah it's not fun
[07:16] <tritium> uXp: select nvidia, and then leave the rest as it is
[07:16] <Schalken> where is ubuntu hard-disk partitioner?
[07:16] <Schalken> ubuntu's*
[07:16] <uXp> its aking me for the amount of memory to be used by my vid card
[07:16] <ijeff>  _RCM_: that's the app that walks you through or the text doc?
[07:16] <kieran_> even in the installer it tells you to create a newworld boot partition, Fails to mention that you cant do that from the installer!
[07:17] <Daskies> Ok, tritium, oddest thing. I went into printer congif and it had the printer listed as "network", and it's not. I told it to do it locally, and poof up comes the printer. I can print a test page fine, but it stil says it isn't there when I scan. I'll try and restart a last time, but on start up I also get a "pcmcia" failed error. How can I fix that?
[07:17] <tritium> uXp: just accept the defaults on all that
[07:17] <alkali> uXp you got under a terminal and typed in "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" right?
[07:17] <JoseStefan> Schalken: you could try gparted
[07:17] <Sivik> yeah, nvidia works
[07:17] <skippy> Schalken, download "qtparted", its fairly easy to use
[07:17] <_RCM_> ijeff: sort of.....
[07:17] <kieran_> So you get through the install and have a useless install because theres no bloody bootloader.
[07:17] <uXp> yes
[07:17] <particleman> ok back
[07:17] <uXp> yes
[07:17] <kieran_> Can i get into a text based install from dapper cd?
[07:17] <particleman> with not much more luck than before
[07:17] <tritium> Daskies: hard to say
[07:17] <ToHellWithGA> kieran_: yeah.  install server
[07:17] <alkali> uXp, alright the first screen you scroll through to find your driver which was nvidia I believe
[07:17] <particleman> it looks like the machine sees the wireless card now
[07:17] <particleman> which is great
[07:17] <uXp> found it
[07:17] <ijeff> _RCM_: how do i get to it again?
[07:18] <Daskies> tritium, Everything else is fine, FYI. Is there a test I can do to see what's not working?
[07:18] <alkali> uXp, hit enter
[07:18] <particleman> but ifconfig eth1 up fails
[07:18] <kieran_> ToHellWithGA: i want desktop though :-)
[07:18] <ToHellWithGA> i don't know how that would help your boot issues
[07:18] <SurfnKid> can you do webcam thru gaim?
[07:18] <JoseStefan> kieran_: the "alternate" cd features a text install
[07:18] <uXp> did
[07:18] <particleman> or sudo ifconfig etc. if you prefer :)
[07:18] <tritium> SurfnKid: not yet
[07:18] <Ashex> so no suggestions for my problem?
[07:18] <tritium> Daskies: for pcmcia?
[07:18] <Ashex> damn, I guess I'm screwed
[07:18] <_RCM_> ijeff: as your current user vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf or if you are not big on vi issue this at the command line... gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:18] <ToHellWithGA> kieran_: if you get text-based it's the "server" choice during installation
[07:18] <QPAD|war-away> Is there a way to refresh your current ip? or perhaps open some ports? (my game-servers doesnt seem to go outside the LAN, any clues?)
[07:18] <Daskies> tritium, Yeah
[07:18] <alkali> uXp, whats the next option?
[07:18] <uXp> then it tells me to give it a name, left it as is and hit enter
[07:18] <Daskies> tritium, On start up everything is "ok" excluding "pcmcia"
[07:18] <alkali> uXp, what came next
[07:18] <ToHellWithGA> QPAD|war-away: are you using a dynamic dns service?
[07:18] <kieran_> This really is stupid though, why dont they mention it in any of the docs?
[07:18] <tritium> Daskies: check your logs in /var/log for errors, warnings, or clues at least
[07:18] <_RCM_> ijeff: you will not be able to change the file unless you add a sudo to that
[07:18] <uXp> the thing asking for hte amount of ram to choose
[07:18] <ToHellWithGA> yeah i'll give you that, kieran_
[07:19] <uXp> i left it blank
[07:19] <ToHellWithGA> file a report
[07:19] <skippy> QPAD|war-away, i think "ifconfig eth0 down" and then "ifconfig eth0 up" is as good a way as any
[07:19] <SurfnKid> tritium, how about another client that can receive webcam
[07:19] <particleman> now that said, the howto has something about wl_apsta.o, and I'm not sure how to install that/what it is
[07:19] <fishhead> I'll try again at another time
[07:19] <alkali> uXp, leave it blank hit enter and then what
[07:19] <uXp> then <enter>
[07:19] <tritium> SurfnKid: ekiga
[07:19] <kieran_> I mean... a PPC install of linux is pretty useless without a bootloader
[07:19] <uXp> its asking me
[07:19] <boris> how do I restart X in Dapper?
[07:19] <SurfnKid> ok ill try that
[07:19] <Schalken> where can i get gparted?
[07:19] <JoseStefan> Ashex: try removing the package completly, and installing it again
[07:19] <ToHellWithGA> kieran_: it could be you that finds a solution then reports it to the developers so it will be included in the next build
[07:19] <uXp> use kernel framebuffer devices interface?
[07:19] <tritium> boris: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart, if you're using gdm
[07:19] <Ashex> JoseStefan: I have, many times. http://pastebin.com/769121
[07:19] <ijeff> _RCM_:ok im in
[07:19] <boris> thanks mate!
[07:19] <alkali> uXp, choose No
[07:19] <tritium> uXp: no
[07:19] <aa> where are xchat logs stored?
[07:19] <Ashex> JoseStefan: It refuses to uninstall or be purged
[07:20] <uXp> k
[07:20] <uXp> then
[07:20] <tritium> Daskies: I've got to go.  Good luck, okay?
[07:20] <uXp> auto detect keyboard layout
[07:20] <valehru> aa, ~/.xcht/
[07:20] <uXp> ?
[07:20] <Daskies> tritium, when I "sudo gedit /var/log" I get a cannot open error. Is there a different way to open it?
[07:20] <valehru> aa, ~/.xcaht/
[07:20] <_RCM_> ijeff: yeah ok let me pull up mine and take a look at it real fast
[07:20] <Farnaby> note to self, get bitchx
[07:20] <tritium> Daskies: /var/log is a directory
[07:20] <alkali> uXp, hit yes
[07:20] <Daskies> Poo, bye tritium
[07:20] <aa> valehru, ty
[07:20] <Schalken> where can i get gparted?
[07:20] <Daskies> tritium, Ah >_<
[07:20] <JoseStefan> Ashex: have you tried with synaptics?
[07:20] <tritium> Daskies: so, look at the files _under_ /var/log
[07:20] <QPAD|war-away> skippy, OK, but im not in the serverhall, would this disconnect me frmo putty ?
[07:20] <_RCM_> tritium: ever tried arch linux...or maybe this is not the channel to discuss such thing son
[07:20] <skippy> Schalken "apt-get gparted" or synaptic
[07:20] <ToHellWithGA> Schalken: try "apt-cache search gparted"
[07:20] <valehru> off to bed
[07:20] <Hexidigital_> Schalken:: sudo apt-get install gparted
[07:20] <uXp> "enter keyboard layout"  >US <enter>
[07:20] <particleman> Schalken-I believe it's included by default with ubuntu
[07:20] <tritium> _RCM_: nope
[07:20] <Ashex> JoseStefan: what do you mean with synaptics?
[07:20] <valehru> need at least 4 hours sleep to function
[07:21] <valehru> laters
[07:21] <Hexidigital_> valehru:: that much sleep ?
[07:21] <valehru> Ashex, synaptics is a package manager
[07:21] <SurfnKid> tritium, do i have to download that from somewhere else? ekiga? i cant find it in synaptic
[07:21] <Schalken> skippy: oh okay thankjs
[07:21] <_RCM_> tritium: if you know your way around linux pretty well check it out sometime
[07:21] <uXp> "select the XKB rule to use"   what do i do?
[07:21] <JoseStefan> Ashex: "Synaptic Package Manager"
[07:21] <tritium> valehru: no "s" at the end
[07:21] <skippy> QPAD|war-away,  taking the interface down will disconect you , yes
[07:21] <valehru> Hexidigital_, yup, its a lot i know
[07:21] <ToHellWithGA> Schalken: when in doubt, "apt-cache search blahblahblah" will dig through the available packages for blahblahblah.  add a |grep term to refine it
[07:21] <Ashex> JoseStefan: Yeah, I used that in Debian. But Kubuntu doesn't have it
[07:21] <tritium> _RCM_: I do, but I'm ubuntu through-and-through
[07:21] <Hexidigital_> valehru:: :) cheers
[07:21] <Goeland86> hey, how can set the proper module for my pcmcia card, instead of having to unload the wrong one detected first?
[07:21] <skippy> QPAD|war-away,  ifconfig down and up is basically like rebooting your machine - except it only reboots the lan card
[07:21] <valehru> tritium, im a lttle tired
[07:22] <tritium> _RCM_: anyway, why would I want to?
[07:22] <woodwizzle> what is the difference between libbeagle0 and beagle?
[07:22] <tritium> valehru: so am I
[07:22] <valehru> then get to bed
[07:22] <valehru> lol
[07:22] <valehru> laters
[07:22] <dan> has anyone worked with ubuntu server lamp
[07:22] <Healot> beagle -> Application, libbeagle0 -> the runtime library
[07:22] <ToHellWithGA> ok pretty pretty people.  i'm going to bed too
[07:22] <ToHellWithGA> cya tomorrow
[07:22] <_RCM_> tritium: i respect that.....i guess i mentioned it because it is fun to try challenging distros...its also small and you make it what you want ....but yeah i am dapper all the way
[07:22] <valehru> laters person from georgia
[07:23] <valehru> also in GA by the way
[07:23] <valehru> :)
[07:23] <tritium> _RCM_: cool
[07:23] <alkali> Can anyone tell me how to use inintramfs instead of initrd?
[07:23] <JoseStefan> Ashex: you don't seem to have the required multiverse repository
[07:23] <acidjedi> Could someone help me in pm for a second?
[07:23] <QPAD|war-away> skippy, will it boot it up aswell ?
[07:23] <woodwizzle> Healot, Thats kinda what I thought... I'm still a little confused though. How is the library useful without an app to use it? So why does dapper come with the library but not the app
[07:23] <Hexidigital_> ToHellWithGA:: aka William T Sherman?
[07:23] <Farnaby> no, pmsaren't allowed it you aren't regged
[07:23] <JoseStefan> Ashex: i only see "multiverse" in dapper-backports
[07:23] <Ashex> JoseStefan: do you know where I can get the complete repositories list?
[07:23] <acidjedi> How do I register?
[07:23] <Geoffrey2> particleman, let me guess, you're one of the many poor souls trying to make the Broadcom chipset work with Ubuntu..
[07:23] <_RCM_> ijeff: this might be a little trick i can send you a copy of my x11 and comment some sectins that might be of intrest to you or you can send me a copy of yours and i can take a look at it
[07:23] <tritium> acidjedi: /msg nickserv help register
[07:23] <particleman> Geoffrey2-yep
[07:23] <particleman> yep I am
[07:24] <skippy> QPAD|war-away, no ifconfig eth0 down will disable the lan card and release its IP, ifconfig eth0 up will bring it back up
[07:24] <JoseStefan> Ashex: hmm, in regular Ubuntu, there is an option called "Software Properties" don't know about kubuntu
[07:24] <particleman> made the mistake of not spending the extra 30 or 40 bucks for the intel wireless card on my new dell laptop
[07:24] <ijeff> _RCM_: sure, send over yours, it'd be great
[07:24] <JoseStefan> Ashex: the "update manager" is also capable of configuring the repositories with ease
[07:24] <acidjedi> Ok I'm regged, if someone could pm to help?
[07:25] <ToHellWithGA> Hexidigital_: not like that.  more like to hell with the UGA bulldogs
[07:25] <particleman> I'm using this howto- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[07:25] <Farnaby> acidjedi, what is the problem, not that I am regged but give me an idea
[07:25] <ToHellWithGA> and don't highlight me when i'm going to bed, jeez :p
[07:25] <uXp> um sry got disconnected
[07:25] <ToHellWithGA> peace
[07:25] <uXp> who was i tlaking to?
[07:25] <Hexidigital_> ToHellWithGA:: :) nite
[07:25] <Ashex> JoseStefan: Where can I get the repositorie locations to add into the list?
[07:25] <ToHellWithGA> uXp: with 850 people somebody can prolly help
[07:25] <Geoffrey2> particleman, and you're following instructions on ubuntuforms, titled How to: *Updated* Broadcom wireless cards?
[07:25] <ToHellWithGA> just ask again
[07:25] <ToHellWithGA> night all
[07:25] <acidjedi> I don't remember ever typing a root password, and it keeps asking for it. I know root is disabled, but I need the pass
[07:25] <uXp> but he was with me =[
[07:26] <r0xz> i can't get grip to play a cd, is there something i should check?
[07:26] <particleman> but I'm a bit confused by the wl_apsta.o bit, and it doesn't work right yet
[07:26] <skippy> acidjedi,  when does it ask you for it?
[07:26] <QPAD|war-away> skippy, though so, then i cant do anything from home. bah
[07:26] <JoseStefan> Ashex: let me see if i can find kubuntu relevant info
[07:26] <helloyo> i cannot set my desired resolution (settings, xorg.conf), what can i do?
[07:26] <acidjedi> I'm attempting to install cedega through CVS, and it asks for it at some point
[07:26] <SurfnKid> can anyone get to http://www.ekiga.org
[07:26] <Schalken> how do i resize ubuntu's disk partition from within ubuntu?
[07:26] <Geoffrey2> particleman, first off, which model Broadcom are you trying to get to work?
[07:26] <woodwizzle> to use network-manager do you just have to apt-get it or is there more to it?
[07:26] <uXp> y0 tritium
[07:26] <particleman> 4318 I believe...lemme check again
[07:27] <_RCM_> ijeff: i cant send the file over irc because i am not a registerd nick
[07:27] <skippy> QPAD|war-away,  releasing an IP will always sever a connection , you could always write  a script which takes it down and puts it back up again - but its a bit risky - if it goes wrong your cut off from your box
[07:27] <mutil8> is there a problem with accessing SATA drives on an NF4 board?
[07:27] <_RCM_> ijeff: let me see if i can post it somewhere
[07:27] <particleman> yep, 4318
[07:27] <ijeff> _RCM_: kk thx, unless you have aMSN?
[07:27] <mutil8> the installer to hang at 'detecting file systems'
[07:27] <Schalken> how do i resize ubuntu's disk partition from within ubuntu? :(
[07:27] <JoseStefan> Ashex: see if this guide helps, there is a Kubuntu section (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto)
[07:28] <_RCM_> ijeff: i have aol im?
[07:28] <particleman> oh bugger...the howto says the firmware method goes bonk in Apples
[07:28] <helloyo> Schalken: you cant resize mounted partitions, so you can't resize the partition you are using
[07:28] <particleman> I guess I have to be more specific with it?
[07:28] <mutil8> and when i try to manually setup the partitions using fdisk, it tells me 'unable to open /dev/sda'
[07:28] <Hexidigital_> ubotu:: tell acidjedi about root
[07:28] <ijeff> _RCM_: I can get on
[07:28] <JoseStefan> Ashex: you basicly need "multiverse" if you want Sun's Java
[07:28] <Geoffrey2> particleman, AirForceOne?
[07:28] <intelikey> who has a place to post a small utility script for use with deborphan ?
[07:29] <_RCM_> ijeff: cool
[07:29] <xuexiewen> how to use the glib
[07:29] <_RCM_> ijeff: screen name?
[07:29] <ijeff> _RCM_: ijeffchat ;)
[07:29] <Schalken> helloyo: could i do it from within the ubunu livecd?
[07:29] <particleman> I guess I have to be more specific with it?
[07:29] <Geoffrey2> particleman, ah...I don't have an apple...and is, I gave up on even getting the Broadcom to work...for the time being anyway
[07:29] <particleman> ack
[07:29] <acidjedi> Hexidigital_: That didn't help :(
[07:29] <particleman> sorry
[07:30] <particleman> yep...AirforceOne, on a dell 710m
[07:30] <particleman> not an apple
[07:30] <skippy> Schalken,  ADFAIK the only type of linux parition that can be resized is reiserFJS
[07:30] <gavagai> is there a "default" ftp server on ubuntu?  i installed proftpd, which i've used before, but the defauilt config file only has examples for anon ftp
[07:30] <Hexidigital_> acidjedi:: sorry, short memory... what did i have you do?
[07:30] <SurfnKid> tritium, what ekiga version are you on
[07:30] <Hexidigital_> oh
[07:30] <Hexidigital_> nv
[07:30] <acidjedi> ubotu told me about root
[07:30] <ubotu> acidjedi: Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:30] <Hexidigital_> yes
[07:30] <acidjedi> but it didn't help
[07:30] <skippy> Schalken,  the live CD does come with a partitioning tool, but i doubt it will let you resize an ext3
[07:30] <particleman> Geoffrey2-you had no luck with that model?
[07:30] <gavagai> i no longer have my old config file and just want something quick to setup
[07:30] <Hexidigital_> acidjedi:: you have to sudo su, essentially
[07:30] <skippy> acidjedi, read what i told you
[07:30] <sleeper> whats the best movie player ubuntu comes with?
[07:30] <Schalken> skippy: so there is no hope of installing winxp on my computer without wiping my harddrive?
[07:31] <Ashex> JoseStefan: which repositorie would I add that to? would you know?
[07:31] <acidjedi> skippy: what did you tell me, pm again
[07:31] <Geoffrey2> particleman, if you scroll down, most of the problems people had with that instruction set were using the AirForceOne
[07:31] <Ashex> Bah, I'll just try google again for it
[07:31] <Healot> Schalken: there is hope
[07:31] <Keene_Maverick> Quick question for anyone who cares to answer: I'm wanting to switch to Ubuntu. I just have a few issues... I have 3 monitors -- is it possible to have a setup like this with Ubuntu, and how difficult will it be to set it up. Also, what advantages/disadvantages would I have if I went with the 64 bit version? I understand the flash player doesn't work -- anything else?
[07:31] <aa> where are the xchat logs stored again, last time?
[07:31] <skippy> acidjedi, just use your normal password whenever your asked for one
[07:31] <JoseStefan> Ashex: you need to add "multiverse" to at least the "dapper" repository
[07:31] <Healot> Keene_Maverick: you can actually work Flash out
[07:31] <uXp> what is hte difference between an ImPS/2 and an ExplorerPS/2 Mouse?
[07:31] <acidjedi> I tried that
[07:31] <acidjedi> it didn't work
[07:32] <Hexidigital_> aa:: ~/.xchat2
[07:32] <acidjedi> says authentification failed
[07:32] <JoseStefan> Ashex: ...if you are using dapper that is
[07:32] <Healot> checkout the Firefox/Flash on AMD64 wiki page
[07:32] <DarkMageZ> Keene_Maverick, it IS possible to setup all 3 screens working, but i've heard it's difficult
[07:32] <acidjedi> authentication*
[07:32] <skippy> acidjedi, what command were you trying to run?
[07:32] <Schalken> skippy: so there is no hope of installing winxp on my computer without wiping my harddrive?
[07:32] <uXp> what is hte difference between an ImPS/2 and an ExplorerPS/2 Mouse?
[07:32] <skippy> acidjedi, you cant do "su", you have to do "sudo su" to become root
[07:32] <acidjedi> I know
[07:32] <DarkMageZ> Keene_Maverick, healot is right, flash can be worked out, but you won't beable to use the w32codecs
[07:32] <Ashex> JoseStefan: I'm using dapper
[07:32] <acidjedi> But its not in that specific situation
[07:32] <acidjedi> its part of a script
[07:32] <acidjedi> and it asks for the root password
[07:33] <troy_s> keene:  the only issue is wmv encoded files
[07:33] <skippy> Schalken, if you allready have one massive ubuntu parition taking up the entire disk, then AFAIK you wont be able to shrink it to make room for windows
[07:33] <Healot> btw, mplayer site has the source code for w32codes which can be compile on the 64bit Linux,,,,
[07:33] <Keene_Maverick> Thanks Healot and DarkMageZ;; the w32codecs is kinda important for me, so I'll probably use the 32 bit kernel. :)
[07:33] <Hexidigital_> Schalken:: skippy is correct
[07:33] <skippy> Schalken, sorry mate, i know its harsh
[07:33] <troy_s> keene:  the ONLY problem is with WMV.  you can get everything else.
[07:33] <Farnaby> schalken, I agree with skippy there
[07:33] <skippy> i think reiserfs is resizable
[07:33] <skippy> but not ext3 :(
[07:33] <troy_s> keene:  in particular, what codec you want?
[07:33] <Schalken> skippy: so i have to reinstall ubuntu AGAIN???
[07:33] <JuhazOne> y0...
[07:34] <Schalken> yes, it is harsh
[07:34] <aa> what's a lighter text app in synaptic?
[07:34] <Healot> I have no problem playing MS-MPEG4 files with the newly compiled codecs from mplayer's site
[07:34] <Farnaby> at least its an easy install
[07:34] <Hexidigital_> Schalken:: or install vmware-server and use a virtual windows machine
[07:34] <troy_s> keene: divx/xvid etc all work fine.  realplayer is possible via the 64bit cheat in firefox, etc.
[07:34] <Fujitsu> aa, ?
[07:34] <JuhazOne> i just noticed my usb stick doesn't work like it used to. it probably has a lot to do with me upgrading from breezy to dapper
[07:34] <intelikey> ubuntu partition ?
[07:34] <uXp> what is hte difference between an ImPS/2 and an ExplorerPS/2 Mouse?
[07:34] <Keene_Maverick> troy_s: I have countless movies of all kinds -- I kinda need them all :P
[07:34] <Fujitsu> JuhazOne, what's it (not) doing now?
[07:34] <aa> Fujitsu, a light text editing app
[07:34] <Ashex> JoseStefan: Woo! It's updating!
[07:34] <Daskies> I get http://pastebin.com/769145 When running sudo /etc/init.d/hpoj setup  anyone know why?
[07:34] <Fujitsu> aa, nano?
[07:34] <Schalken> *sigh* that sucks
[07:34] <Ashex> I just hope it installs
[07:34] <Hexidigital_> Schalken:: did you hear what i said
[07:34] <JuhazOne> Fujitsu: it used to show up on my kde desktop right after i plugged it in
[07:34] <Hexidigital_> ?
[07:34] <skippy> Schalken, if you can somehow backup your linux parition, you can just copy it back on after youve installed and have essentially the same system
[07:34] <Fujitsu> Hmm.
[07:34] <aa> Fujitsu, like the equivalent to notepad
[07:35] <particleman> alright...I'm scrolling down, I'm gonna try editing the interfaces file
[07:35] <Fujitsu> aa, nano.
[07:35] <JuhazOne> Fujitsu: now it doesn't and i'm even unable to mount it by hand
[07:35] <Hexidigital_> Schalken:: you there?
[07:35] <Healot> uXp: technically no... just difference on the button layout... just select ImPS/2 if you have a regular PS2 mouse
[07:35] <particleman> that said, what is wl_apsta.o?
[07:35] <Schalken> *starts backing up my home directory*
[07:35] <Fujitsu> JuhazOne, what's the error?
[07:35] <JoseStefan> Ashex: you could add multiverse to dapper-updates as well, to recieve updates, same goes for dapper-security
[07:35] <JuhazOne> mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage used to work
[07:35] <Hexidigital_> Schalken:: you can install vmware server, and use a virtual windows machine
[07:35] <JuhazOne> there is no error
[07:35] <skippy> Schalken,  Hexidigital_  has a very valid point
[07:35] <uXp> healo, i ahev a mx1000 mouse from logitech
[07:35] <oneman> hello
[07:35] <JuhazOne> dmesg reports: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 15
[07:35] <Healot> uXp: a USB mouse?
[07:35] <Fujitsu> skippy, Scalken is long gone.
[07:35] <xuexiewen> why nobody help me
[07:35] <uXp> yes
[07:35] <Hexidigital_> Schalken:: that's what i do for my few *needed* windows apps
[07:35] <particleman> anyone? :)
[07:35] <Keene_Maverick> Would anyone happen to know where a 3+ monitor setup howto is located? I've found plenty of 2 monitor setup guides... I use both an NVidia and an ATI card, so I think it's going to be a tad difficult.
[07:36] <Fujitsu> !helpme
[07:36] <intelikey> aa abiword is not light but it's lighter than oo
[07:36] <skippy> Fujitsu,  ah i see lol :)
[07:36] <Schalken> skippy, Hexidigital_: the reason i want to install windows is to play games. so i would prefer to run windows natively
[07:36] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we cannot actually help you. :)
[07:36] <Healot> xuexiewen: ask the question?
[07:36] <oneman> I am having lots of trouble trying to get zaptel for asterisk to work on ubuntu, infact, there is not even any packages for the kernel module, only the source as far as I can tell, can anyone help me?
[07:36] <Hexidigital_> Schalken:: ah, i see
[07:36] <Ashex> JoseStefan: Eh, it looks like Adept Manager doesn't support interactive installs (You know, where whatever your installing prompts you for configuration options)
[07:36] <Farnaby> I just run my laptop in windows
[07:36] <xuexiewen> how to use glib
[07:36] <uXp> its a USB mouse
[07:36] <Healot> uXp: just select auto for usb mouse
[07:36] <Fujitsu> Farnaby, why>?
[07:36] <Farnaby> because I have to take it to work sometimes
[07:36] <skippy> Schalken, ok mate, well just make sure you backup the whole of /home and at least you wont have to worry about losing your documents
[07:36] <Healot> if you choose to edit the xorg.conf manually for the "mouse" section
[07:36] <JuhazOne> Fujitsu: it looks like other people have had similar problems (posts on forums and bug reports)
[07:36] <Farnaby> its what I am on right now actually
[07:36] <uXp> its telling me to select IMPPS/2 or EXPLORERPS/2
[07:36] <Healot> uXp
[07:36] <Hexidigital_> Farnaby:: Ubuntu IMO has better power management/ memory management
[07:36] <uXp> yea
[07:36] <JoseStefan> Ashex: now that the sources are fixed, you could re-try the console commands you were using.
[07:37] <Healot> uXp: ImPS/2
[07:37] <xuexiewen> Healot:how to use glib
[07:37] <Fujitsu> JuhazOne, works fine for me. Can you add a comment to one of the bug reports, and direct me to one?
[07:37] <Fujitsu> What about glib, xuexiewen?
[07:37] <JuhazOne> yea i suppose
[07:37] <Healot> xuexiewen: you mean like compiling program that uses glib?
[07:37] <Farnaby> hexi: I don't determine what to put on my work laptop that they give me... but then agian I do know more then at least some of the tech suport staff
[07:37] <skippy> Schalken, let me suggest that when you next install you consider sepearte boot, home and / paritions for linux - give windows a primary parition and then give linux seperate home root and boot inside an extended parition
[07:37] <xuexiewen> Healot:yes
[07:37] <Ashex> JoseStefan: Yup, it appears to be working now
[07:37] <Hexidigital_> Farnaby:: lol... i know how that feels
[07:38] <Ashex> JoseStefan: thanks for all the help, I was afraid I'd have to reinstall kubuntu :S
[07:38] <skippy> sorry guys about my typing today, it really is the suX0r :P
[07:38] <uXp> it says
[07:38] <uXp> emulate 3 button mouse, what do i do since i have am MX1000 mouse?
[07:38] <JoseStefan> Ashex: ok, np
[07:38] <Healot> xuexiewen: just install ""build-essential"" package, the libglib-dev... and compile... pre-setup
[07:38] <Farnaby> best day of my recent work career was conning them into givving me admin access on my work desktop... since then I haven't called them I just ix it myself
[07:38] <skippy> uXp,  3 buttons is what you want
[07:38] <Farnaby> skippy, I am drunk, whatever
 or <NO>
[07:38] <skippy> hehe
[07:38] <JuhazOne> Fujitsu: hmm, is it a good idea to post to one of the existing reports if they're using breezy and i'm using dapper?
[07:38] <Healot> just give the static option, if you want do need static compilation... xuexiewen
[07:38] <uXp> should i emulate a 3 button mouse?
[07:39] <skippy> uXp <yes>
[07:39] <JoseStefan> uXp, you only need to emulate if you have a 2 button mouse
[07:39] <Flannel> uXp: isn't that a three button mouse?
[07:39] <Fujitsu> JuhazOne, is it exactly the same error?
[07:39] <uXp> omg so many answers
[07:39] <Healot> uXp: for mx mouses, no, if you have three button mouse
[07:39] <Farnaby> they still make 2 button mouses?
[07:39] <JuhazOne> Fujitsu: there is no error. it's just not working like it used to
[07:39] <Fujitsu> Farnaby, I haven't seen one in years.
[07:39] <skippy> i have a razer diamondback with 9 bottons and emu 3 button mouse works fine for me
[07:39] <Farnaby> niether have I
[07:39] <Healot> uXp: you can even choose no, if you like 2 mouse button functionally
[07:39] <JoseStefan> uXp, the option emulates a third button by using gestures
[07:39] <uXp> so since i have an mx1000 mouse i shouldn't emulate a 3 button mouse..correct?
[07:39] <Fujitsu> JuhazOne, please look for a Dapper bug, and, if there isn't one, please file one.
[07:39] <xuexiewen> but i still dont understand
[07:40] <Fujitsu> JoseStefan, NO!
[07:40] <Healot> uXp: no, i guess
[07:40] <JuhazOne> yeah, might do that
[07:40] <uXp> ok
[07:40] <JoseStefan> am i confused?
[07:40] <skippy> it isnt important uXp just hit yes :) IMO
[07:40] <Fujitsu> JoseStefan, it emulates it by clicking both buttons at once.
[07:40] <Fujitsu> Hi, Aegir.
[07:40] <particleman> hey...sorry to be a pest, but what the heck is wl_apsta.o???
[07:40] <uXp> i hit NO =\
[07:40] <skippy> uXp,  dont worry too much, many of these options in xorg arnt important really
[07:40] <uXp> ok
[07:40] <Aegir> Heya, Fujitsu
[07:40] <particleman> and how do I make sure it's properly installed?
[07:40] <JoseStefan> to my understanding, you only need emulation if you dont have a third button, aka a 2 button mouse. Am i correct?
[07:40] <Healot> uXp: your middle mouse button should work, if you have any
[07:40] <Flannel> JoseStefan: or a one button mouse
[07:40] <skippy> they can all be easily changed, so just relax - if in doubt hit enter for the estbalished defaults uXp
[07:41] <uXp> i have like a 5+ button mouse an mx1000
[07:41] <uXp> ok
[07:41] <Flannel> uXp: right.  You have three buttons, you can get the rest working later, there's a howto
[07:41] <Farnaby> flannel: so if you are running an early g4?
[07:41] <uXp> ok good
[07:41] <Hexidigital_> well folks... bedtime... goodnight everyone
[07:41] <JoseStefan> Flannel: in that scenario, you wont be able to click both at once, and get the 3rd button emulation :S
[07:41] <skippy> well i have a 9 botton mouse and it works the same with both "emulate 3" and without :)
[07:41] <Flannel> JoseStefan: I believe in that case you use keyboard keys, just like mac people are used to.
[07:42] <Sivik> anyone here use enlightenment
[07:42] <uXp>  Select the X.Org server modules that should be loaded by default.
[07:42] <JoseStefan> with emulation on, you basicly have 1 more way of representing that 3rd button
[07:42] <uXp> wich should i check?
[07:42] <Keene_Maverick> Sivik: I <3 enlightenment
[07:42] <uXp> im guessing just leave them as is
[07:42] <skippy> can you use compiz with enlightenment?
[07:43] <intelikey> JoseStefan you don't 'need' 3 button emulation on a two or one button mouse.  but it allows you to click both at one time and acts as if you clicked the third button.    (for a two that is)
[07:43] <Daskies> I get http://pastebin.com/769145 When running sudo /etc/init.d/hpoj setup  anyone know why?  Please?
[07:43] <skippy> uXp, did you install nvidia drivers?
[07:43] <uXp> no im still doing it right now
[07:43] <skippy> if you did uXp , then untick "dri"
[07:43] <uXp> so many screens to answer
[07:43] <robin____> anyone here use zsnes? the sound is cracky any way to fix?
[07:43] <JoseStefan> intelikey: but it can come very handy, if you dont physically have a 3rd button
[07:43] <skippy> uXp, untick "dri", it gets in the way of nvidia drivers
[07:43] <JuhazOne> blah..
[07:43] <Farnaby> robin: not here really
[07:43] <uXp> ok ill let you nwoe whne sincei mconfused right now
[07:43] <JuhazOne> wish this wasn't so difficult
[07:44] <uXp> what should i say?
[07:44] <uXp>  Write default Files section to configuration file?
[07:44] <Fujitsu> Yes/
[07:44] <Daskies> I get http://pastebin.com/769145 When running sudo /etc/init.d/hpoj setup  anyone know why?  Please?
[07:44] <skippy> uXp, yes
[07:44] <paul_> I have a question. Some of my apps used to minimize to the panel and show an icon there. Now none of them do. Is there any way to fix this?
[07:45] <intelikey> JoseStefan not so much in the console, but in X yes it can.
[07:45] <skippy> paul_,  you might want to right click on the panel and add a notification area, that might help
[07:45] <skippy> with the empasis on "might" :)
[07:46] <paul_> Go it. Thanks for the help. Damn I feel so dumb.
[07:46] <uXp> Write monitor sync ranges to configuration file?
[07:46] <skippy> yes uXp
[07:46] <Daskies> Anyone? I get http://pastebin.com/769145 When running sudo /etc/init.d/hpoj setup  anyone know why? I've searched every doc around, but alas, nothing
[07:47] <uXp> the window dissapeared looks like it finished hte wizard, now what
[07:47] <intelikey> Daskies a 'setup' option in an init script ?
[07:47] <skippy> uXp, did you install the nvidia drivers? download them i mean?
[07:47] <JoseStefan> uXp: restart X
[07:48] <Daskies> intelikey, Don't know, I just did what the docs told me, and I got that error
[07:48] <kieran_> Ok, added a bootstrap partition with mac-fdisk, If it works, yay, if not ill be back when ive reconfigured x and network settings
[07:48] <kieran_> later, and thanks ppl
[07:48] <JuhazOne> sigh
[07:49] <JuhazOne> i don't have the patience to go through filing a bug report :(
[07:49] <Sivik> Keene_Maverick, how do i get to a file browser
[07:49] <JuhazOne> still, this is odd. my system seems to recognize the stick allright. i just can't mount it.
[07:49] <skippy> JuhazOne, surely it automounts if its a stick?
[07:49] <JoseStefan> is there more to the DVD version of ubuntu than just desktop+alternate ?
[07:49] <skippy> JoseStefan,  yes, server
[07:49] <JuhazOne> skippy: huh? the problem is that the usb stick doesn't mount, either automatically or by hand
[07:49] <skippy> i believe
[07:50] <JoseStefan> skippy, it's a lot bigger than the sum of the 3 cds
[07:50] <skippy> JuhazOne, if your using dapper it should just automount
[07:50] <uXp> im back guys
[07:50] <uXp> looks like the settings worked drivers installed
[07:50] <JuhazOne> skippy: well it certainly should..
[07:50] <skippy> JoseStefan, i think they just bloated it with semi useful packages from the official tree
[07:50] <JuhazOne> skippy: it used to when i was in breezy. i suppose it stopped working then i upgraded to dapper
[07:50] <uXp> since i have two monitors it switched to my default one =]
[07:50] <SurfnKid> tritium, can ekiga do msn webcam or what do u recommend
[07:51] <intelikey> Daskies that's odd indeed.  did you get that init script from the vendar(hp) ?
[07:51] <uXp> can i use ubuntu on dual monitor?
[07:51] <skippy> JuhazOne, all i can suggest is to troubleshoot with another stick, if it doesnt work then something is bodged in dapper
[07:51] <JoseStefan> uXp, you can test the drivers by using glxgears
[07:51] <JuhazOne> yeah. i just don't have another stick :(
[07:51] <skippy> i think that it is udev that is used to automount usb
[07:51] <uXp> how do i do that
[07:51] <skippy> uXp, "glxgears -printfps"
[07:52] <uXp> running...
[07:52] <skippy> or "glxgears -iacknowledgethisisnotabenchmark" :)
[07:52] <JohnsonE> you guys were right.. reinstalling linux didn't fix my internet problem.
[07:52] <Keene_Maverick> Thanks for your help everyone!
[07:52] <Flannel> uXp: what's the fps reporting?
[07:52] <uXp> it has multiple lines
[07:52] <Geoffrey2> which Java is preferable on Ubuntu/i386..the Free version or the Sun version?
[07:52] <Healot> Sun's
[07:52] <uXp> its at :52630 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10525.912 FPS right now
[07:53] <Sivik> uXp: then your 3d acc is working
[07:53] <Madpilot> Geoffrey2, the Sun version actually works ;)
[07:53] <skippy> Geoffrey2,  blackdown java is known to be weak to say the least
[07:53] <uXp> still going
[07:53] <Flannel> uXp: you've got accell going for you then, if you didn't it'd be like 30fps
[07:53] <JoseStefan> uXp, i think it's working, nice number by the way
[07:53] <Healot> if you need Sun's compliant bytecode
[07:53] <Sivik> uXp: do you have the window covered up or can you see it?
[07:53] <Luna-Tick> That is decent...
[07:53] <uXp> i can see it
[07:53] <uXp> still going!!
[07:53] <skippy> anyone used Sun Solaris here? would i find it a joke after using dapper :)
[07:53] <Sivik> ctrl-c to exit
[07:53] <Healot> Geoffrey2: actually on ALL platform where you need Java
[07:53] <uXp> 60135 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12026.937 FPS
[07:53] <skippy> uXp,  yeah it will go untill you break it
[07:53] <Sivik> uXp: what kind of card is it?
[07:53] <skippy> uXp,  thats very good, what card do you have
[07:53] <uXp> hahaha
[07:54] <Healot> skippy: what about Solaris?
[07:54] <uXp> gefore nvidia 6800
[07:54] <skippy> im guessing 6600gt
[07:54] <skippy> ah :_
[07:54] <Luna-Tick> Right
[07:54] <Sivik> uXp: i get like 5k with a 6600
[07:54] <JoseStefan> i get like 1300 fps  :(
[07:54] <paul_> Anyone have experience with anjuta?
[07:54] <Healot> Solaris is no joke...
[07:54] <uXp> heh
[07:54] <FR500_> hello
[07:54] <uXp> so um
[07:54] <Sivik> JoseStefan, what card is it?
[07:54] <skippy> Healot,  is it a good desktop OS for a casual user? i would use it for media and websurfing
[07:54] <uXp> what do i do now
[07:54] <intelikey> apt-file is all most completely unusable for dialup users.
[07:54] <uXp> still running
[07:54] <JuhazOne> skippy: it may be udev... is there a way i could use this info?
[07:54] <Cornellius> Is Solaris written all in Java ?
[07:54] <JoseStefan> Sivik: 5200 FX
[07:54] <Healot> skippy: it isn't a desktop Os... that's the point
[07:54] <FR500> skippy: it's good for everything
[07:54] <Fujitsu> Cornellius, urgh. No.
[07:55] <uXp> 64383 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12876.531 FPS
[07:55] <Cornellius> Fujitsu: Phew
[07:55] <Healot> Solaris written in C/C++ and some assembly
[07:55] <Sivik> JoseStefan, then thats about right
[07:55] <FR500> as long as you can figure it out
[07:55] <JoseStefan> Sivik: i know... but i want BIG numbers :D
[07:55] <uXp> do i just let it roll on or what do i do?
[07:55] <skippy> i might try it, i heard that it wasnt very good on x86 platform, but the review i read seemed very anti-Sun so i might try it for myself
[07:55] <uXp> cause its still going
[07:55] <Luna-Tick> uXp: just click the [x]
[07:55] <JoseStefan> uXp: just close the window when you are tired of it
[07:55] <uXp> lawl
[07:55] <Sivik> JoseStefan, then buy a 6800 or a 7800
[07:55] <uXp> lol
[07:55] <Healot> I am using Solaris on both x86 and S
[07:55] <skippy> uXp, focus the terminal window and hold control-c
[07:56] <Healot> parc at my office
[07:56] <particleman> back again
[07:56] <Healot> for chatting i prefer Windows :)
[07:56] <particleman> I hate this
[07:56] <Fujitsu> Healot, :O :O
[07:56] <FR500> how can i mount mds cd images in ubuntu?
[07:56] <Fujitsu> particleman, hate what?
[07:56] <uXp> um whats it doing
[07:56] <uXp> do i keep holding it?
[07:56] <Fujitsu> FR500, you need to convert it to a normal ISO.
[07:56] <Fujitsu> uXp, no.
[07:56] <particleman> the Broadcom 4318 chipset
[07:56] <FR500> Fujitsu: how?
[07:57] <uXp> lol /confusd but ok
[07:57] <Luna-Tick> What is an mds?
[07:57] <skippy> uXp,  no lol, just press control and c together, while the terminal window you ran glxgears from is in focus
[07:57] <particleman> which is proving to be a hideous pain in the ass
[07:57] <skippy> that will kill glxgears
[07:57] <particleman> and once again, I must ask of all of you
[07:57] <JohnsonE> ok, i might as well ask this question again: I need help getting my internet to work. it works perfectly on my live CD but dies within 20 seconds after i log in to my installation. i have a router, DHCP. i can't ping any sites after the connection goes out, my DNS is properly set.. the settings are all the same as they are on the CD. help?
[07:57] <skippy> you have to basically put the control-c into the terminal uXp
[07:57] <Fujitsu> uXp, just close the window using the normal clos ebutton...
[07:57] <particleman> what the hell is wl_apsta.o?
[07:57] <JoseStefan> uXp: just close the window the standard way
[07:57] <particleman> and what does it do?
[07:57] <skippy> so click your mouse inside the terminal and then do the control c
[07:57] <uXp> k
[07:57] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, what card?
[07:57] <skippy> lol this is so funny :)
[07:57] <Sivik> particleman, its for the broadcom wireless cards and its the firmware
[07:57] <particleman> also, how do I properly install it?
[07:57] <skippy> the gears have taken over your desktop like a virus uXp
[07:58] <uXp> what funny
[07:58] <particleman> ah ok
[07:58] <Sivik> particleman, what kind of card
[07:58] <uXp> lol
[07:58] <skippy> hehe
[07:58] <particleman> that's the one part of the howto I haven't been able to follow
[07:58] <particleman> 4318
[07:58] <Sivik> particleman, you have to install bcm43xx-fwcutter and use it to extract the files
[07:58] <uXp> can i use ubuntu on dual monitors?
[07:58] <particleman> AirforceOne
[07:58] <JohnsonE> Fujitsu: I'm not sure, it's a generic one that came with my computer long ago.. i'm using it to connect trough my live CD right now though
[07:58] <JoseStefan> i wonder how many gears i can open simultaneosly... :o
[07:58] <FR500> JohnsonE: did u install networkmanager? is it wireless?
[07:58] <Sivik> particleman, go to #bcm-users channel on this server
[07:58] <particleman> I tried apt-getting that package and it gave me a package not found
[07:58] <particleman> ah thanks
[07:58] <uXp> can i use ubuntu on dual monitors?
[07:58] <Sivik> yw
[07:58] <JohnsonE> FR: My router is wireless but I'm connected through ethernet
[07:58] <Fujitsu> JohnsonE, embedded in the motherboard?
[07:58] <skippy> uXp,  i think nvidias dual monitor support isnt great, so it might be hard to setup
[07:58] <Sivik> uXp: should be able to
[07:58] <JuhazOne> hmh
[07:58] <uXp> how
[07:58] <skippy> uXp,  but in theory, yes
[07:59] <JohnsonE> Fujitsu: No, I'm using a PCI card
[07:59] <uXp> i wanna try it =]
[07:59] <JuhazOne> is there a prog i could use to diagnose this usb stick problem of mine?
[07:59] <Healot> btw.. broadcom support is the worst of wifi support ever
[07:59] <Healot> go RT
[07:59] <skippy> !dualmonitor
[07:59] <JuhazOne> it seems the stick is recognized but doesn't mount..
[07:59] <ubotu> skippy: I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:59] <FR500> i have a laptop with a trident video card, how can i enable tv out?
[07:59] <uXp> !dualmonitor
[07:59] <JoseStefan> uXp, i think you need the nvidia config panel, dont remember the package for it, or if it is included
[07:59] <kieran_> It worked :-)
[07:59] <kieran_> I got it working :D
[07:59] <FR500> !mdf
[07:59] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, FR500
[07:59] <FR500> !mds
[07:59] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, FR500
[07:59] <uXp> lol @ this!  Someone already said that 9 seconds ago
[07:59] <Healot> you can even do that manually by editing xorg.conf
[07:59] <uXp> !dualmonitor
[07:59] <ubotu> uXp: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[08:00] <uXp> lol
[08:00] <uXp> um
[08:00] <uXp> so how do i see if dual monitor works?
[08:00] <JoseStefan> ubotu what is the meaning of life?
[08:00] <ubotu> JoseStefan: what are you talking about?
[08:00] <uXp> lol
[08:00] <Luna-Tick> !42
[08:00] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Luna-Tick
[08:00] <Healot> turn on both, monitor, and start X? uXp?
[08:00] <hayden> !cluster
[08:00] <uXp> yup 42!
[08:00] <ubotu> parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, hayden
[08:01] <uXp> both are one ubuntu is only showing on one
[08:01] <JoseStefan> uXp: you need the nvidia config panel
[08:01] <uXp> how i get that
[08:01] <uXp> synaptic package manager?
[08:01] <JoseStefan> uXp: see if you already have it, run nvidia-settings
[08:01] <skippy> uXp,  tseliot wrote an excellent guide on tv-out, but it may help you a little in understanding how xorg.conf works with multiple displays http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98456&highlight=nvidia+dual+monitor
[08:02] <JuhazOne> device_removable: could not find a sysfs device for /dev/sda1
[08:02] <JuhazOne> right.
[08:02] <uXp> how do i run nvidia settings?
[08:03] <Healot> i told you, but referring to manually can be an ache to new users
[08:03] <JoseStefan> uXp: use ALT+F2, or run it on a terminal
[08:03] <acidjedi> Does anyone know how to get write access to fstab?
[08:04] <Healot> for which type of partition?
[08:04] <uXp> ok its opened how do i know if i can?
[08:04] <yovany2> hey everyone
[08:04] <Healot> on the option column add "rw" option
[08:04] <yovany2> im a new person to ubuntu
[08:04] <kieran_> Hey :-)
[08:04] <acidjedi> The file itself is read-only
[08:04] <JoseStefan> uXp: see if it has dual monitor options within it
[08:04] <Luna-Tick> acid: to the file itself, or the partitions?
[08:04] <uXp> i don't c it
[08:04] <yovany2> therefore i need help
[08:04] <acidjedi> the file itself
[08:04] <Healot> acidjedi: sudo <editor> /etc/fstab and enter your password
[08:04] <yovany2> any one up to it
[08:04] <acidjedi> it says I'm not the owner, but I am root
[08:05] <JoseStefan> acidjedi: which editor are you using? did you sudo that editor?
[08:05] <acidjedi> no
[08:05] <Luna-Tick> at a terminal: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[08:05] <Healot> ask the question, yovany2?
[08:05] <acidjedi> ok, will try
[08:05] <yovany2> i want to install vlc
[08:05] <uXp> i don't c anyhting on dual monitors
[08:05] <yovany2> anybody familiar with it
[08:05] <Healot> yovany2
[08:05] <yovany2> yeah
[08:05] <JoseStefan> Luna-Tick: don't you need gksu in that case?
[08:06] <Healot> just update your repos list with "universe" and "multiverse" repos
[08:06] <uXp> i have a thermal monitor...
[08:06] <Healot> update the list, and then install vlc using your favorite package manager
[08:06] <yovany2> sorry man i dont understand
[08:06] <Healot> !repos
[08:06] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource.
[08:06] <JohnsonE> would linux get confused if i have onboard lan on my mobo enabled but am using a PCI ethernet card?
[08:06] <Healot> follow that link, yovany2
[08:06] <yovany2> okay
[08:06] <uXp> so um help with dual monitors?
[08:06] <Healot> JohnsonE: no, but you would be :)
[08:06] <JoseStefan> JohnsonE: no
[08:07] <JohnsonE> then WHAT IS MAKING MY INTERNET DIE
[08:07] <JohnsonE> there is nothing :(
[08:07] <Luna-Tick> Jose: Not as far as I know
[08:07] <Locke> k how do i get totem to support the codecs to play some videos
[08:07] <Healot> internet doesn't DIE...
[08:07] <JohnsonE> on mine it does.
[08:07] <JohnsonE> dies a horrible death
[08:07] <JoseStefan> you killed the internet! :S
[08:07] <Locke> i thought it could support windows dlls automatically
[08:07] <Locke> or some shit
[08:07] <JohnsonE> just 20 seconds after i log on.. poof. it's gone.
[08:07] <Healot> because you're confused, JohnsonE
[08:08] <Luna-Tick> Locke : Which movie files?
[08:08] <Geoffrey2> hmmm, interesting....i installed sun-java5-bin...the wiki docs suggest I update-alternatives to make the Sun version the default for everything...worked for java, but not for jar or any other type...am I missing something?
[08:08] <JohnsonE> yes, i am very confused. i don't know why internet works from the live CD but it goes off after 20 seconds when i boot from the hard disk.
[08:08] <Healot> JohnsonE: type "ifconfig -a" on a terminal let's see the output...
[08:08] <kermitX_> what's the easiest & fastest way to take an mp3 and re-encode it as mono 22khz 48bit.
[08:08] <Locke> Luna-Tick, a bunch of mpgs and wmvs
[08:08] <davidw_> hey - does the -server kernel handle smp ?
[08:08] <JohnsonE> healot: i'd have to get off the live CD to do that
[08:08] <yovany2> hey guy i click on synaptic manager but nothing happens
[08:08] <Locke> probably divx or xvid or something similar
[08:08] <Locke> buncha pr0n
[08:08] <Luna-Tick> LOL
[08:09] <Healot> kermitX_: if you prefer, commandline LAME would do that...
[08:09] <Locke> heh
[08:09] <uXp> lol
[08:09] <Locke> well, you know
[08:09] <Locke> windows can play pr0n
[08:09] <Locke> why not linux
[08:09] <uXp> who needs to watch dvd and .avi files?
[08:09] <Luna-Tick> Honesty is always good
[08:09] <Luna-Tick> Not too much pr0n in Theora yet
[08:09] <Healot> JohnsonE: just mount your partition where ubuntu is previously installed... open the file on the dir etc/networking
[08:09] <Locke> beer helps
[08:10] <Luna-Tick> You'll have to install extra repos etc
[08:10] <Healot> find the file interfaces, let us see the interface settings...

[08:10] <sindrum> has anyone been able to get java to work for firefox...if tried to the directions on javas website and its not working any tips?
[08:10] <uXp> i have
[08:10] <Luna-Tick> Follow the link Locke
[08:10] <xuexiewen> help ,i install the qq, but it dont work
[08:10] <davidw_> sindrum, it's not hard...
[08:10] <JoseStefan> Locke, are you using totem-xine or totem-gstreamer?
[08:10] <Healot> Luna-Tick: just say porn?
[08:11] <Locke> i tried to install flash for firefox
[08:11] <uXp> xine
[08:11] <uXp> is good
[08:11] <davidw_> argh... need to know if I reboot this server into -server kernel, will it pick up the processors or not?
[08:11] <Locke> JoseStefan, gstreamer
[08:11] <jenda> Hello folks. What should a memtest look like? I started it and the screen looked blank (black) for as long as I left it (several hours) and the it rebooted when I pressed escape.
[08:11] <Locke> xine was in every distro i had until ubuntu
[08:11] <JoseStefan> Locke: i dont remember having to install anything with xine, gstreamer may require more plugins
[08:11] <Healot> jenda: a blue screen with a lot of numbers
[08:12] <Luna-Tick> Locke:
[08:12] <jenda> Healot: right.  Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Luna-Tick
[08:12] <xuexiewen>
[08:12] <SurfnKid> whoa chinese
[08:12] <Luna-Tick> Damn
[08:12] <SurfnKid> wikkikikikikid
[08:12] <JoseStefan> Locke: i think the packages are called the Good the Bad and the Ugly, each has a different group of plugins
[08:12] <FR500> is azureues really broken now for you?
[08:12] <uXp> owned
[08:12] <FR500> !azureus
[08:12] <ubotu> it has been said that azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AzureusHowTo
[08:13] <Locke> gstreamer0.8-mad as listed on that wiki page isnt part of the packages list
[08:13] <Locke> i have abunch of other gstreamer0.8s installed though
[08:13] <Luna-Tick> Locke: There are directions at  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats . The reason that you need to install extra things is that the formats in question are patented.
[08:13] <Healot> it;s ugly now
[08:13] <yovany2> damn this ubuntu
[08:13] <Healot> not mad anymore hohohoh
[08:13] <Healot> funny packages names
[08:14] <Luna-Tick> Oh - they haven't updated for 0.10
[08:14] <acidjedi> Does anyone know how to access an ntfs hdd from ubuntu?
[08:14] <acidjedi> !ntfs
[08:14] <JoseStefan> Any known pros/cons of using Sun's Java? (especially cons please)
[08:14] <ubotu> to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions there is no write support for ntfs that is safe. <!winfstab>
[08:14] <Luna-Tick> Yes - it is Ugly
[08:14] <Luna-Tick> Yes they have
[08:14] <Locke> nope, no gstreamer plugins that look promising
[08:14] <sindrum> thank you that was helpful
[08:15] <DynaUbuntu> how can i get the kernel package <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:15] <Locke> i have universe turned on too
[08:15] <DynaUbuntu> without breaking anything
[08:15] <JoseStefan> i use xine, is gstreamer better?
[08:15] <DynaUbuntu> im on 5.10
[08:15] <Healot> JoseStefan: define "better" hehe
[08:15] <yovany2> ist there anyway to install vlc by command line
[08:15] <yovany2> where do i put command line
[08:15] <Healot> xine is less tricky than gstreamer plugins
[08:15] <Flannel> DynaUbuntu: 2.6.13 is a development version, do you mean 2.6.14?
[08:15] <Luna-Tick> Locke:Have you enabled multiverse?
[08:16] <Locke> totem-xine isnt even available in synaptic
[08:16] <JoseStefan> Healot, plays all the movies, and offers good performance
[08:16] <Healot> yovany2: followed the repos wiki?
[08:16] <Locke> Luna-Tick, i believe so
[08:16] <yovany2> yeah
[08:16] <Locke> i enabled a bunch of shit in the sources window
[08:16] <DynaUbuntu> Flannel, i dont know, someone said that for my specific tablet pc the <IP_ADDRESS> made the fan work (so didnt boil)
[08:16] <Luna-Tick> gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-gl gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
[08:16] <Healot> "apt-get install vlc" then...
[08:16] <DynaUbuntu> Flannel, i could test the .14 if you can tell me how, else id like to use the one thats confirmed
[08:16] <yovany2> but when i click on the synaptic manager nothing happens
[08:17] <JoseStefan> Any known cons of using Sun's Java?
[08:17] <Healot> JoseStefan: none... it works
[08:17] <Luna-Tick> Jose: That is a contentious question.
[08:17] <Flannel> DynaUbuntu: ah, 2.6.14 will mean upgrading to dapper.  odd versions are development though, not stable.
[08:17] <DynaUbuntu> Flannel, surely i can upgrade only the kernel
[08:17] <JoseStefan>  <Healot> JoseStefan: none... it works
[08:17] <JoseStefan> [02:17]  <L
[08:17] <JoseStefan> oops
[08:17] <JoseStefan> sorry
[08:18] <davidw_> JoseStefan, ask on debian-devel ?;-)
[08:18] <Healot> well, it isn't "free" (FSF definition of free)
[08:18] <davidw_> i.e. not open source
[08:18] <Locke> k i did sudo apt-get update
[08:18] <JoseStefan> i have to find to make replying easier on myself...
[08:18] <DynaUbuntu> Flannel, are you sure i cant upgrade only the kernel?
[08:18] <Zambezi> Which application in Linux can import *.pst-files?
[08:18] <Locke> see what happens
[08:18] <SurfnKid> where is mozilla installed/
[08:19] <Luna-Tick> Jose: Gst is better designed, much more powerful and will surpass Xine. At the moment the likes of Xine, mplayer and VLC are much older so work better.
[08:19] <Healot> davidw_: Sun's Java is partially open source... but doesn't comply with the definition that FSF made
[08:19] <Luna-Tick> Zamb: Do you want to get your emails out of outlook?
[08:19] <Zambezi> Luna-Tick: Yes.
[08:19] <Healot> Gstreamer more powerful then xine? you can't prove that :)
[08:20] <JoseStefan> ok
[08:20] <Luna-Tick> Healot: I don't think it is OS - just redistributable.
[08:20] <davidw_> Healot, it is not open source - it's a yes or no question.
[08:20] <Mysta> hello, Do CD's get autodetected when only working from the CLI?? or do I have to mount them or something?
[08:20] <davidw_> you may be able to look at the source code, but that's not the definition of 'open source'.
[08:20] <davidw_> Luna-Tick, exactly
[08:20] <Healot> but doesn't comply with the definition that FSF made >> done
[08:21] <Luna-Tick> Zamb - you may need to install Thunderbird or Mozilla in Windows and then copy over the files
[08:21] <JohnsonE> does the fact that i'm using DSL have anything to do with my internet disconnects, maybe?
[08:21] <Luna-Tick> Healot: Re Java, listen to lugradio episode
[08:21] <Zambezi> Luna-Tick: I tried, but it didn't work. :-( It didn't import all the files.

[08:22] <Luna-Tick> Johnson: I had a strange error like that in the past and fixed it by lowering the MTU setting of my router
[08:22] <DynaUbuntu> what kernel comes with dapper
[08:22] <Luna-Tick> But I don't know if that would be your issue
[08:23] <Healot> KFC (Colonel) hehe
[08:23] <Healot> 2.6.15...
[08:24] <Schaver> I'm having trouble connecting to the internet; I can see my router and other computers on the network and I can ping everything fine, but I can only sporadically connect to certain web sites
[08:24] <SurfnKid> where is the mozilla default folder guys
[08:24] <Schaver> I posted on the forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192501
[08:24] <yovany2> why does it say permission denied
[08:24] <davidw_> Healot, open source definition: http://opensource.org/docs/definition.php <- it's pretty much the debian free software guidelines, and for practical purposes is basically the same as 'free software'
[08:24] <Luna-Tick> Healot: Re GST vs Xine : I say more powerful in the conceptual sense. For example, the same GST plugins written to decode mp3s in Totem are also used to burn audio CDs from them in Serpentine. This is a bit off-topic.
[08:24] <JoseStefan> DynaUbuntu: i have 2.6.15-23 right now, for 686
[08:24] <Healot> surely off topic
[08:25] <Healot> but performance isn't what we can decide...
[08:25] <JohnsonE> is /etc/network/interfaces editable by default?
[08:25] <Flannel> DynaUbuntu: erm, I'm sorry.    DynaUbuntu, it's 2.6.15.  Hmm, I'm going to just be quiet now.
[08:26] <mutil8> anybody know what causes the installer to hang at 'detecting file systems'
[08:26] <JohnsonE> is /etc/network/interfaces editable by default? if not, what's the command to make it writeable?
[08:26] <DynaUbuntu> Flannel, grr not according to mine
[08:26] <Flannel> DynaUbuntu: no, youre on breezy.
[08:26] <lightstar> JohnsonE, its only editable by root, but you can edit it using sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

[08:28] <Flannel> Scorpmoon: linux plays nice with others, windows doesnt.
[08:28] <JoseStefan> Scorpmoon: install vista first, but dont use the whole hard drive
[08:28] <Luna-Tick> Yov: are you in Synaptic (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager)
[08:28] <DynaUbuntu> debian is pretty cool
[08:28] <Scorpmoon> i install both on same harddisk, 2 partitions
[08:28] <Anubis> anyone feel like helpin me?
[08:28] <Killaz> guys how can I install the Berkley db?
[08:28] <TUXLF> debian is way cool
[08:28] <JoseStefan> Scorpmoon: make sure you make the vista parition smaller (not the default of 1005)
[08:28] <particleman> howdy all
[08:28] <Killaz> is it a package in the repository?
[08:28] <particleman> back again
[08:28] <JoseStefan> Scorpmoon: err 100%
[08:28] <Schaver> Getting connection timeout issues when trying to connect to the internet; not just a Firefox problem but Gaim and Ekiga too.  This is coming off of a fresh install and from a brand new linux user.  Any ideas?
[08:28] <Scorpmoon> right
[08:29] <TUXLF> but slackware is better
[08:29] <particleman> waiting for a reply in bcm-users
[08:29] <yovany2> no\
[08:29] <DynaUbuntu> Schaver, lscpi, what network card
[08:29] <JoseStefan> Scorpmoon: that will save you the effort of having to resize
[08:29] <yovany2> i cant acess the synaptic manager
[08:29] <particleman> in the meantime, got it now to the point where my card comes up with ifconfig eth1 up
[08:29] <Luna-Tick> What happens when you try?
[08:29] <DynaUbuntu> Schaver, run /sbin/lspci in a terminal
[08:29] <yovany2> nothing happens wehn i click on it
[08:29] <Picillo> w00t!
[08:29] <Scorpmoon> is it difficult to setup vista after ubuntu though?
[08:29] <particleman> but not to the point where it actually creates a usable network connection
[08:29] <yovany2> i just get a little sound
[08:29] <acidjedi> How do I create a shortcut on the desktop to a folder?
[08:29] <JoseStefan> Scorpmoon: it might be a little harder, as vista will not offer you the option of dual boot, and will try to takeover
[08:29] <bobby__>  i screwed up my resportiers or w/e and now i can't use apt-get or any system updates how do i reset them to there defualts
[08:30] <Luna-Tick> Yov: try minimising windows and looking for a password prompt
[08:30] <Scorpmoon> jose, so where do I interfere?
[08:30] <Schaver> DynaUbuntu, alright
[08:30] <Mysta> hello, Do CD's get autodetected when only working from the CLI?? or do I have to mount them or something?
[08:30] <davidw_> ciao
[08:30] <JoseStefan> Scorpmoon: install vista first, and use less than 100% of the disk, then install linux on the rest.
[08:30] <yovany2> password prompt
[08:30] <yovany2> where
[08:30] <Luna-Tick> acid: easiest way is look at the folder in nautilus and middle-click-drag onto the desktop
[08:30] <Scorpmoon> m'kay
[08:30] <_RCM_> bobby__
[08:31] <Killaz> apt-cache search berkley gives me no result
[08:31] <Luna-Tick> Choose "link"
[08:31] <acidjedi> ok
[08:31] <Anubis> anyone wanna help me force a video resolution?
[08:31] <Picillo> I think this is the first time I installed a lInux distro and had everything detected automaticaly.
[08:31] <JoseStefan> Scorpmoon: in addition you might consider a 3rd partition in FAT32 (vfat) to easily share files between the 2 systems
[08:31] <_RCM_> bobby__ http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[08:31] <particleman> so...any further ideas on getting this Broadcom 4318 card to work?
[08:31] <_RCM_> cut and past
[08:31] <Picillo> hmmm... I think I have to install some ATI drivers.
[08:31] <acidjedi> Luna-Tick: Where's Nautilus?
[08:31] <Killaz> I want to install Berkley DB!
[08:31] <Scorpmoon> okay
[08:31] <acidjedi> Or is that the file browser?
[08:31] <Luna-Tick> Yov: anywhere.... it is very unusual thay you can't access synaptic
[08:31] <JoseStefan> Scorpmoon: like a small 8gb third partition, depending on your needs that is
[08:31] <Luna-Tick> Acid: yes
[08:32] <Healot> Scorpmoon: don;t forget to convert your basic disk to dynamic, kidding...
[08:32] <yovany2> i know
[08:32] <ebricca> mysta .. i'd say depends if automount is running and configured
[08:32] <acidjedi> ok
[08:32] <yovany2> dont know what is wrong
[08:32] <JoseStefan> Scorpmoon: remember windows cant even read linux partitions, so a cross platform partition can be handy
[08:32] <cartur25> How do I make mp3s work in amarok?
[08:32] <Luna-Tick> okay... yov: can you go accessories > terminal
[08:32] <Scorpmoon> good idea!
[08:32] <Healot> !amarok
[08:32] <ubotu> I heard amarok is a music player for Linux and Unix with an intuitive interface. See http://amarok.kde.org ; amaroK's features: http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/51/1/ - To install Amarok 1.4 on Ubuntu, see http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.php
[08:32] <Healot> !mp3
[08:33] <ubotu> mp3 is, like, a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[08:33] <Healot> oh that mp3...

[08:34] <Luna-Tick> sudo synaptic
[08:34] <Healot> type perl to see the magic...
[08:34] <Killaz> Why not make a search on the website packages.ubuntu.com?
[08:34] <JoseStefan> Killaz, what way are you using?
[08:35] <Locke> k im upgrading to 606
[08:35] <Healot> Killaz: the links are all there

[08:35] <Luna-Tick> yov - what happened?
[08:35] <Killaz> Healot: no search!
[08:35] <yovany2> nothing
[08:35] <Healot> [newbies] : type "perl"
[08:35] <Locke> gonna take awhile though......
[08:35] <yovany2> is there suppose to be a dollar sign where i type
[08:35] <JoseStefan> Killaz: i see a search
[08:35] <Luna-Tick> Yov: Nothing at all?
[08:35] <Healot> There is a search form... in the package you....
[08:35] <yovany2> nope
[08:35] <particleman> ack...no help left, huh?
[08:36] <Killaz> http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/index.nl.html
[08:36] <Luna-Tick> Yov: the dollar is there?
[08:36] <Locke> yovany2, yes
[08:36] <Killaz> there is no search there
[08:36] <n00n3> What program do i use to burn a data cd
[08:36] <yovany2> yes
[08:36] <yovany2> im just suppose to type sudo

[08:36] <yovany2> nothing happenes
[08:36] <Killaz> JoseStefan: oh ok...
[08:37] <kermitX_> Healot, thx.  took a bit to wade through the options. got 'er cut in 1/2. (it was already only 60bit, so not much room to shrink).
[08:37] <Luna-Tick> Are you in Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[08:37] <[newbies] > Healot: type Perl on my terminal? sorry if i ask a noob question. Today is my first time with Linux and also with Ubuntu. Before this i'm using Windows but right now i think i should switch to linux
[08:37] <yovany2> ubuntu
[08:37] <bobby__> _rcm_ that dosnt have what i need
[08:37] <bobby__> i need to reset my reposrtieres or w/e there called
[08:37] <Healot> [newbies] : type "perl" in a word/text processor, ehehe
[08:37] <Anubis> can you change ubuntu video to 16 bit instead of 32?
[08:37] <Flannel> !tell bobby__ about repositories
[08:38] <yovany2> im in a bind huh
[08:38] <TUXLF> can I still use apt-get in ubuntu?
[08:38] <Luna-Tick> ... try typing "sudo aptitude"
[08:38] <yovany2> nothing
[08:38] <yovany2> it just scrolls down
[08:38] <[newbies] > huhuhuhu
[08:39] <Luna-Tick> Scrolls down?
[08:39] <gordonjcp> morning
[08:39] <kermitX_> Healot,  possible to improve on this (quality less important than small file size)?  lame -m j --verbose --cbr -b 32 --resample 16 in.mp3 out.mp3
[08:39] <yovany2> i mean goes down to another dollar sign thing
[08:39] <Healot> yovany2: give Luna-Tick the output of the terminal after you type...
[08:39] <yovany2> there is no output
[08:39] <Luna-Tick> ...
[08:39] <yovany2> absolutely nothing happenes
[08:39] <Killaz> still cant find the package I'm looking for.... is Berkley DB in the repositories? I need this to make a PAM usersdb to authenticate users
[08:39] <Healot> not even "Bad command or file name?"
[08:40] <Luna-Tick> LOL
[08:40] <yovany2> nope
[08:40] <yovany2> nothing
[08:40] <Healot> kermitX_: yes...
[08:40] <yovany2> this sucks
[08:40] <melkart> how can i make my system turn off the computer when shutting down, without building in support for apm into the kernel?
[08:40] <st3v3dnd> Is okay to use package sources that are for breezy if you're running dapper?
[08:40] <Luna-Tick> Have you restarted since it started going wrong?
[08:40] <yovany2> should i restart computer
[08:40] <yovany2> no
[08:40] <JoseStefan> Anubis: yes, you can
[08:40] <Luna-Tick> Can you try?
[08:41] <Healot> burn it hehe... can't stop being evil
[08:41] <yovany2> i guess so
[08:41] <yovany2> haha
[08:41] <st3v3dnd> There's some third party repositories that I would like to use, but they only mention breezy
[08:41] <Luna-Tick> I'm at a bit of a loss...
[08:41] <cartur25> I have installed "gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly" and mp3 playback in amarok still doesn't work - how do I fix this?
[08:41] <yovany2> i should just stick to windows
[08:41] <yovany2> xp
[08:41] <JoseStefan> Anubis: the default is 24 bit i think
[08:41] <mcpowley> hey guys, I have ubuntu mounted on my 320 gig external drive, 50 gigs is allocated to it, I have 260 gigs remainging, and I want to use about 30 of those for a fat32 partition that can be accesed by windows as well. Is there a partition program on linux that I can use to do this?
[08:41] <Madpilot> mcpowley, gparted
[08:41] <Flannel> mcpowley: gparted
[08:41] <Luna-Tick> Yov - something isn't right
[08:41] <kermitX_> Healot, input was recorded via sound recorder at 60bit off WAV input from a home-movie dvd. little over 3 1/2 minutes 1.8mb, the above got 'er down to 900k. this will be streamed on www, so small size is important.
[08:42] <Healot> parted, fdisk...
[08:42] <yovany2> yeah
[08:42] <yovany2> oh well
[08:42] <Healot> kermitX_: you can actually set the target size instead of bitrate
[08:42] <yovany2> could it be the os
[08:42] <JoseStefan> mcpowley: or you can create the fat32 partition in windows, if it's easier for you
[08:42] <yovany2> or the software
[08:42] <n00n3> is there a linux version of air crack
[08:42] <kermitX_> Healot, and keep cbr?
[08:42] <Healot> kermitX_: no...
[08:42] <mcpowley> thanks much guys
[08:42] <dynamicrealism> hello fellas
[08:42] <kermitX_> cbr is important for streaming, correct?
[08:43] <mcpowley> also one more question for anyone that is familiar with office
[08:43] <secretpickle> hello, I just installed Ubuntu on my HP xw4200 workstation w/soundmax onboard sound. It's playing the sound in analog but I have digital speakers hooked up, anyone know how to change the output to digital or where to find out how? The onboard sound does support digital and ubuntu is playing the sound just fine in analog
[08:43] <dynamicrealism> can anyone help me with a media issue, what can i use that is similar if not a duplicate of winamp media player?
[08:43] <mcpowley> is the nimbus roman9 font the same as times new roman?
[08:43] <intelikey> what is this looking for ?   subshell.c: couldn't open master side of pty
[08:43] <intelikey>  pty_open_master: No such file or directory
[08:43] <secretpickle> dynamicrealism: amaroK
[08:43] <Luna-Tick> Yov: if you don't have synaptic or aptitude... or the command prompt working, something is stuffed
[08:43] <Healot> lame will decide the best bitrate... kermitX_, lame can be set for both bitrate and size
[08:44] <dynamicrealism> secret does that have mp3 support my friend?
[08:44] <Healot> !mp3
[08:44] <ubotu> [mp3]  a patented format; to enable mp3 capability see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[08:44] <secretpickle> dynamicrealism: it has to be installed
[08:44] <Healot> secret unveil
[08:44] <kermitX_> Healot, but it will be a constant bitrate? that's needed for streaming, isn't it?
[08:44] <Anubis> i installed ubuntu on my desktop i have a mach 64 2mb video card and i am trying to force a video resolution of 1024x768 if this possible or iam i just waisting my time
[08:44] <Luna-Tick> Sorry Yov - I have to dash./
[08:44] <Luna-Tick> Bye all
[08:44] <Healot> kermitX_: maybe not
[08:44] <Madpilot> dynamicrealism, you can get mp3 support for any player in Ubuntu
[08:44] <yovany2> no problem man\
[08:44] <yovany2> thanks though
[08:45] <Luna-Tick> Maybe a clean install if noone can help
[08:45] <DynaUbuntu> if apt is working right is upgrading from breezy to dapper the same as formatting and installing dapper?
[08:45] <bobby__> where is the settings button on the respatories list
[08:45] <yovany2> i guess so
[08:45] <dynamicrealism> madpilot is it alright if i can pm you?
[08:45] <yovany2> ill do that

[08:45] <yovany2> what question\
[08:45] <n00n3> thanks
[08:45] <Anubis> that one
[08:45] <Madpilot> dynamicrealism, there's no reason to. Check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for mp3 support and much else
[08:45] <Anubis> i just pasted
[08:46] <yovany2> can anyone help to put realplayer
[08:46] <dynamicrealism> i dont understand how to install this
[08:46] <dynamicrealism> i just switched over from windows not a week ago
[08:46] <dynamicrealism> complete newb
[08:46] <Madpilot> dynamicrealism, cool, welcome to Ubuntu. Check that URL, though, it should walk you thru getting media support up and running.
[08:46] <mcpowley> how would I go about getting true type fonts in linux?
[08:47] <dynamicrealism> im reading this thing about repositories but its for 5.x and it no longer looks the same in the gui
[08:47] <intelikey> mcpowley don't you have them already ?

[08:48] <Madpilot> mcpowley, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FontInstallHowto
[08:48] <intelikey> bobby__ what error ?
[08:48] <Madpilot> dynamicrealism, which page are you reading for repositories?
[08:48] <eobanb> bobby__, perhaps try typing apt-get instead of app-get
[08:49] <secretpickle> hello, I just installed Ubuntu on my HP xw4200 workstation w/soundmax onboard sound. It's playing the sound in analog but I have digital speakers hooked up, anyone know how to change the output to digital or where to find out how? The onboard sound does support digital and ubuntu is playing the sound just fine in analog
[08:49] <dynamicrealism> why is it that they have to make it so damn confusing
[08:49] <dynamicrealism> why cant it just be in step sequence

[08:50] <Madpilot> dynamicrealism, well, being more specific than 'the very home page' would help...
[08:50] <bobby__> this is a majjor failure of your software manegemnt system check the file permissions and correctness of the files "ect/apt/sources.list"  and reload the system soft ware "sudo apt-get update"

[08:56] <uXp> Is it possible to change the icons on the shorcuts on ubuntu's desktop with custom ones??
[08:56] <Owner> kermitx_: im unfamiliar with the commands ><
[08:56] <n00n3> o.k.
[08:56] <uXp> !icons
[08:56] <ubotu> If you have missing icons after upgrading to Breezy, change theme at System -> Preferences -> Theme
[08:57] <Flannel> uXp: how many times have you asked that in the past few minutes?
[08:57] <maybelle> ive done that already
[08:57] <uXp> well im wondering, lol no answer
[08:57] <maybelle> ive that that whats the next step
[08:57] <SurfnKid> eobanb, oh i just did w32, i might have to look for the asx one. thx
[08:57] <Madpilot> maybelle, see the Add Printer icon? click that.
[08:57] <maybelle> pls give me a step by step procedure on how to configure my
[08:57] <maybelle> madpilot
[08:57] <zach> I would like to get a wireless USB adaptor for the wireless nextwork at my house...what would be the easiest one to get to work with Dapper out of the box?
[08:57] <Flannel> uXp: yes there is.  you probably want to change themes
[08:58] <Owner> intelikey: what should i type to rename xorg.bak to xorg.conf?
[08:58] <P0ldy> uXp, http://www.gnome-look.org/, click on "Icon Themes"
[08:58] <Madpilot> maybelle, most HP printers will be auto-installed when you start the New Printer thing...
[08:58] <magda> jdls
[08:58] <uXp> that doesn't do anyhting, i mena changing them with custom ones not "themes"
[08:58] <Owner> intelikey: and what's the command to delete a file?
[08:58] <Flannel> zach: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport check there
[08:58] <_mason> Svigi_wlan: Yeah, i was also.. but i didnt want these partitons to show up on the desktop thats why i mounted them in /mnt/
[08:58] <intelikey> Owner man mv    and   man rm    you should probably  man intro     and  man man
[08:59] <MadMerC> is there anyway to revert my system back to the way it was just after i upgraded to dapper ???
[08:59] <n00n3> you got it maybelle
[08:59] <Flannel> MadMerC: depends on what you did
[09:00] <eobanb> zach, you're probably better off with a cardbus or pci wireless card instead
[09:00] <intelikey> MadMerC could blank your home  if it's all local changes.
[09:00] <Hajuu> Hey guys! I need ideas.. How can I open something in wine, when I dont have any terminals in my fluxbox menu list (even though I manually added one into my menu file) ?
[09:00] <xxozxx> someone please help
[09:00] <Schaver> how do I format a hard drive with ubuntu on it?
[09:00] <zach> ya? I am doing it on a desktop...those are pretty easy to install I imagine?
[09:01] <_mason> And a question about fstab, the last column, the number <pass> what is that? (it works right now) but for diffrent drives, in order of their partition i just have been incrementing from 1, am i correct in doing so?
[09:01] <xxozxx> trying to install jdk on ubuntu
[09:01] <uXp> Hajuu: Right click open with Wine
[09:01] <eobanb> Hajuu, how were you able to edit your fluxbox menu if you had no terminal
[09:01] <intelikey> Schaver where and what fs ?
[09:01] <Flannel> !tell xxozxx about java
[09:01] <Flannel> xxozxx: read what ubotu sent you
[09:01] <_mason> & what is the need for it?
[09:01] <dynamicrealism> someone needs to do an overhaul for documentation for 6.06.... i cant do anything as far as repositories and codecs for movies/audio..this sucks big time
[09:01] <Hajuu> eobanb: Well I have my terminals, but I cant open terminal windows within my X window
[09:01] <jirwin> hey
[09:01] <jirwin> how do I turn off the screen saver in dapper?
[09:02] <xxozxx> ty
[09:02] <jirwin> i can't find it under preferences or administration
[09:02] <eobanb> jirwin, System > Preferences > Screen Saver
[09:02] <Schaver> intelikey, dapper and I don't know how you mean "where"
[09:02] <jirwin> it isn't there.
[09:02] <Madpilot> dynamicrealism, updating the wiki is a work in progress... check System->Help->System Help instead
[09:02] <intelikey> Schaver if it's first ide master first partition   and the desired fs is ext3   do  sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hda1
[09:02] <_mason> if its not in there
[09:02] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: all of the formats have updates for dapper, only the repositories havent yet.
[09:02] <Killaz> sudo useradd -d /home/test user_test is not making the directory /home/test? Am I missing something?
[09:02] <eobanb> jirwin, well what IS there
[09:02] <mcpowley> god Ubuntu can do everything...i'm so amazed. I can even write my papers with open office, with an MLA format...agh, if only I could play games I would totally remove windows
[09:02] <eobanb> mcpowley, what game?
[09:03] <_mason> jirwin: Applications > Accessories > Alacarte, and add it
[09:03] <dynamicrealism> Flannel: so how on earth do i get mp3 working tonight
[09:03] <intelikey> Schaver where as in location of the drive and which partition.     the fs i ask about is the desired fs.
[09:03] <Healot> mcpowley: be amaze on what it can't do too...
[09:03] <eobanb> !tell dynamicrealism about mp3
[09:03] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: add the repositories.  then do what that page said.
[09:03] <Picillo> For all you Ubuntu users that want to have the OS X look.
[09:03] <Picillo> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=109229
[09:03] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: fine, let me fire up my graphical crap, and I'll hold you hand.
[09:03] <Schaver> intelikey, the command you recommended returned a message "/dev/hda1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!
[09:03] <maybelle> hello again guys
[09:03] <Owner> can anyone help me in recovering my monitor files? stuck out of gnome
[09:03] <dynamicrealism> Flannel
[09:03] <dynamicrealism> you need to understand
[09:03] <Madpilot> Healot, Ubuntu is remarkably bad at catching viruses ;)
[09:04] <dynamicrealism> ive been with windows since 3.1
[09:04] <maybelle> ive done setting up my printer
[09:04] <maybelle> but the problem is
[09:04] <Schaver> the drive is on IDE1 and there's only 1 partition
[09:04] <dynamicrealism> this is bizarre crap to me
[09:04] <eobanb> Owner, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:04] <intelikey> Schaver that's good.   seeing it was only an example....
[09:04] <maybelle> its not printng :((
[09:04] <Madpilot> dynamicrealism, this is not Windows. Realizing that is the first hurdle
[09:04] <Schaver> intelikey, gotcha
[09:04] <Madpilot> maybelle, what model HP again?
[09:04] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: then you should be comfortable doing stuff that isn't necessarily written out stepwise.  computers are computers.  software is all written by humans, for humans.  it's not THAT different.  if there's no "settings" button, look for somethign different.
[09:04] <jirwin> _mason: it isn't under that either.
[09:05] <mcpowley> eobanb, well, I heard about cedega and wine? But i'm talking like, F.E.A.R, umm, Ghost Recon AW, AOE 3, etc
[09:05] <SurfnKid> can i stream with xmms?
[09:05] <eobanb> dynamicrealism, do you have any other specific questions
[09:05] <secretpickle> does anyone know how to change your sound output from analog to digital?
[09:05] <Schaver> intelikey sorry about being so slow at this, thank you for dealing with me!
[09:05] <mcpowley> best part, is all this software is free
[09:05] <eobanb> mcpowley, check the wine compatibility list
[09:05] <jirwin> it doesn't give me the option to add scree saver that is.
[09:05] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: if I rememeber correctly, in the system menu, there's a "repositories" or "package sources" or something like that button, that takes you straight to the repositories edit page
[09:05] <mcpowley> seriously, what can't it do!
[09:05] <P0ldy> Can't cook you salmon ;)
[09:05] <maybelle> its hp deskjet 810c
[09:05] <dynamicrealism> im at the repositories page
[09:05] <oediv> is there a way to disable the borders of a window in gnome just like kde can?
[09:05] <dynamicrealism> ive been there
[09:05] <dynamicrealism> there is no mention
[09:05] <intelikey> Schaver ok.  then   you will have to use another os to do that.  if you format the partition with the system running on it the journel will most likely be corrupt anyway.
[09:05] <maybelle> madpilot its hp deksjet 810c
[09:05] <dynamicrealism> of anything having to deal with mp3
[09:05] <dynamicrealism> or sound
[09:05] <eobanb> dynamicrealism, did you read the link ubotu sent you?
[09:05] <jirwin> it was under the debian menu.
[09:06] <eobanb> !tell dynamicrealism about mp3
[09:06] <_mason> No idea then
[09:06] <intelikey> Schaver boot a live cd or an install cd and format it with the example command
[09:06] <Schaver> intelikey gotcha, giving it a go now
[09:06] <SurfnKid> guys can i play asx thru xmms or just totem
[09:06] <Madpilot> dynamicrealism, you need to do some repository stuff first, then get mp3 support working
[09:06] <dynamicrealism> can u briefly tell me what the hell a repository is
[09:06] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: alright, system > administration > software preferences
[09:06] <zach> heh
[09:07] <xxozxx> how do i update my update list?
[09:07] <dynamicrealism> im there flannel
[09:07] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: then, from then on, it's the same as from the picture that looks the same on that page
[09:07] <eobanb> SurfnKid, well since asx is a video container, i assume you're going to want to use totem (did you mean xine when you said xmms??)
[09:07] <P0ldy> A repository is a single place where you can get many programs.  Hence, "repository"
[09:07] <acidjedi> Flannel: I can't get it working correctly
[09:07] <dynamicrealism> thx p0ldy
[09:07] <Madpilot> maybelle, http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_810C <-- check that your printer is using the right driver
[09:07] <dynamicrealism> Flannel, i see no "settings" button
[09:07] <SurfnKid> eobanb, mmm it opens totem, maybe i have to install xine, i dunno, is that another player i can use to stream music?
[09:07] <Hajuu> Hey guys! I need ideas.. How can I open something in wine, when I dont have any terminals in my fluxbox menu list (even though I manually added one into my menu file) ?
[09:07] <xxozxx> how do i update my update list? anyone?
[09:08] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: highlight the ones, and "edit" on the right
[09:08] <maybelle> ok got that thanks :-*
[09:08] <katie> eobanb: THANK YOU! gui working again :D
[09:08] <eobanb> SurfnKid, try rhythmbox or xmms i guess?
[09:08] <eobanb> katie, no problem
[09:08] <uXp> how do you execute .bz2 files?
[09:08] <dynamicrealism> which do i highlight tho? damnet this is so vague im going insane
[09:08] <intelikey> Schaver while you are about to mkfs anyway  could i sujest you repartition and make at least two partitions so you can, if need be, reload the system without loosing all your settings and documents/files you may gain/customize along the way.
[09:08] <Madpilot> uXp, you don't, they're archives - unpack them
[09:08] <zach> i like the rhythm box update alot
[09:08] <SurfnKid> eobanb, trying, just wanted to know if anyone was using it to stream
[09:09] <eobanb> uXp, just open them with gnome archive manager
[09:09] <xxozxx> wanna update my sources list
[09:09] <intelikey> Schaver how big is this drive ?
[09:09] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: oh, sorry. no no, you don't need to enable the software, since they're not hidden on that page at all to begin with.
[09:09] <eobanb> xxozxx, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ...be careful
[09:09] <xxozxx> ty
[09:09] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: skip to the blip above the pictre that looks like what you see.
[09:09] <Schaver> intelikey it's an 80gb drive; there wasn't anything on it except ubuntu.  I was just kind of messing with it as an experiment
[09:09] <eobanb> xxozxx, once you're done with it you'll have to do a sudo apt-get update
[09:09] <dynamicrealism> alright
[09:10] <acidjedi> Has anyone here gotten extra mouse buttons working?
[09:10] <Flannel> acidjedi: what mouse?
[09:10] <eobanb> acidjedi, what buttons
[09:10] <Flannel> eobanb: the multimedia buttons on the mouse
[09:10] <acidjedi> My mouse, according to X11, has 9 buttons
[09:10] <mcpowley> hmm, how would I go about remapping the back and forward buttons on my logitech mx1000? They are supposed to go back and forward in my browser, but in linux they zoom in and out of an image
[09:10] <eobanb> pfft
[09:10] <acidjedi> I want the side buttons to go back and forward
[09:10] <eobanb> acidjedi, left, right, middle, and a scroll wheel should all work out of the box
[09:11] <Flannel> mcpowley: you'll be better off googling, I imagine.
[09:11] <intelikey> Schaver ok  why not make one 10g partition and one 70g   use the 10g for the system  and the 70g as /home   that way you can format and reinstall at any time and not loose settings
[09:11] <dynamicrealism> flannel: i hav ethe software preferences box still open and looking at the "Ubuntu 6.06 LTS" of which is checkmarked along with a few others
[09:11] <acidjedi> they do eobanb
[09:11] <Schaver> intelikey ok, will do
[09:11] <acidjedi> I need the side buttons to work
[09:11] <eobanb> acidjedi, what mouse is it
[09:11] <acidjedi> GE
[09:11] <Madpilot> acidjedi, try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - no idea if it's still up to date, though -
[09:11] <acidjedi> I tried it Madpilot
[09:11] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: right, read where it says "scroll down to the universe repository" check it, then edit it to include multiverse.
[09:12] <Madpilot> acidjedi, heh - nevermind, then... :|
[09:12] <zach> there are a lot of helpful things describing going from windows to ubuntu and getting them to go together, I only have ubuntu on this machine but I would like to get WIndows XP Pro on to do a few things. HOw hard is this? I have a CD for install
[09:12] <dynamicrealism> what is this universe repository titled?
[09:12] <dynamicrealism> there is no specific channel labled that
[09:12] <acidjedi> What would those side buttons be called?
[09:12] <intelikey> Schaver or even three partitions if you like.....   in linux  partitions are mounted as dirs    so one can be / (the root partition) and another /var  and another /usr and another /home and yet another /boot
[09:13] <intelikey> again just examples ^
[09:13] <Madpilot> dynamicrealism, "Community Supported" = Universe
[09:13] <Schaver> intelikey: I think I'll just keep it simple for the time being and stick with two; I've got it going now and it seems to be working great.  Thanks for all the help!!
[09:13] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: it says "Community maintained (universe)" under the bold letters.  Make sure it says "Binary" and not "source" next to the bold text.
[09:13] <xxozxx> eobanb thanks
[09:13] <intelikey> Schaver np
[09:14] <uXp> how do i access my theme folder?
[09:14] <dynamicrealism> alrighty im trying that
[09:14] <oediv> anyone ever worked with vmware?, coz i was wondering if it would be possible to boot my windows from ubuntu and vice versa
[09:14] <uXp> something /.thmes?
[09:14] <Flannel> zach: you mean dual booting?
[09:14] <ubuntu> hey
[09:14] <Madpilot> uXp, in the file manger, hit Ctrl+H to see your hidden folders & files
[09:14] <Hajuu> Hey guys! I need ideas.. How can I open something in wine, when I dont have any terminals in my fluxbox menu list (even though I manually added one into my menu file) ?
[09:15] <dynamicrealism> alright Flannel, what next
[09:15] <zach> yes, I have read a lot of things going from WIndows to UBuntu with dual booting but not one with Ubuntu as it is with WIndows CP being the one that needs to be added. If that difference is even a big deal or not.
[09:15] <intelikey> uXp that would be more like  ./.themes    or /home/uxp/.themes
[09:15] <sleeper> is there a version convention in the synaptic manager/
[09:15] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: you checked the box, and edited it to include "multiverse"?
[09:15] <sleeper> i don't know what the version convention is
[09:15] <sleeper> for synapte
[09:15] <dynamicrealism> i think i did the right one
[09:15] <SurfnKid> man i cant get to play asx on xmms
[09:15] <dynamicrealism> yea
[09:15] <sleeper> manager
[09:15] <bert_> Hi there, can anybody help me with a soundcard problem?
[09:15] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: click close, then go abck to the mp3 page
[09:16] <dynamicrealism> alright
[09:16] <Acke> zach you install win first then ubuntu
[09:16] <intelikey> bert_ maybe.  what's the problem
[09:16] <Madpilot> sleeper, higher numbers are newer - but Synaptic will generally only show you one version of something...
[09:16] <zach> no way to go the other direction on that?
[09:16] <Flannel> zach: there is, but its easier that way.  windows doesn' play nice with boot sectors
[09:16] <Madpilot> zach, possible but harder
[09:16] <intelikey> no easy way zach
[09:16] <sleeper> so it says "2:3.1.5-0" what does the 2 mean?
[09:16] <zach> ah i understand
[09:16] <Acke> zach ein needs to bee first partition
[09:16] <dynamicrealism> flannel, im at the mp3 page
[09:17] <ubuntu> trying to move file vmware workstation from live to cd to /mnt/dave1 mv: cannot stat `/home/ubuntu/Desktop/VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175': No such file or directory
[09:17] <Acke> win *
[09:17] <ry> please help.... i got twinview working but now when i boot back into windows the monitors don't work!
[09:17] <zach> i guess i should give vm another try...
[09:17] <SurfnKid> !xmms
[09:17] <ubotu> hmm... xmms is to get xmms to work in Ubuntu Hoary and Breezy, set the output plugin to eSound (right-click on the XMMS window, then choose Options -> Preferences)
[09:17] <bert_> thanks intelikey. I installed dapper on my laptop (asus a6vm) and the sound worked fine for 2 days. Yesterday, I think it was still working when I turned on my computer, but now it doesn't. I think it happened after I installed easyubuntu.
[09:17] <crimsun_> sleeper: the '2' is an "epoch" meaning a 'generation'
[09:17] <bobby__> so yeah any one want to help m,e
[09:17] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: so, it says "install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly" so, open synaptic package manager (one below the menu item you were just in)
[09:17] <dynamicrealism> im there
[09:18] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: click reload (to add the repositories we just added)
[09:18] <dynamicrealism> done
[09:18] <sleeper> crimsun_: so is the version actually <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:18] <crimsun_> sleeper: thus, 2:3.1.5-0 >> 1:3.1.6-0, for instance
[09:18] <Flannel> dynamicrealism: then, click search, paste that in, click the package, set it to install, then hit "apply"
[09:18] <intelikey> bert_ what does  cat /proc/asound/cards  tell us ?
[09:19] <dynamicrealism> hell freaking yes
[09:19] <dynamicrealism> flannel you are my hero
[09:19] <dynamicrealism> what next
[09:19] <Flannel> nothing? you're done.
