[02:27] <lamego> broken, usually the INSTALL or README does help
[02:27] <broken> And I've read that.
[02:27] <salox> with i386 kernel the x686 instructions is not used i know, and this result in a slow CPU
[02:27] <jrib> Innomen: where does the new ndiswrapper come from? and the new one?
[02:27] <broken> So you are telling me there is no support for this?
[02:27] <Innomen> broken: you're an even bigger $%^&* than i am aren't ya, shocking.
[02:27] <lamego> broken, what software are you tring to install ?
[02:27] <dam9> ikonia, earlier i asked something different about importing dv, now i asked about encoding to xvid, thank you very much for your answer
[02:28] <broken> lamego: anything from here http://linux-sound.org/guitar.html
[02:28] <broken> Nothing has worked yet.
[02:28] <salox> could be significant speed improvements if i use an i686 kernel ?
[02:28] <Innomen> jrib: the old one probably came form a package i downloaded, and the new one is from sudo apt-get, i'd happy remove either to reinstall heheh
[02:28] <broken> (in tuners)
[02:28] <lamego> broken, running "executables" download from somewhere is not the best way to run software on linux :P
[02:28] <broken> This link was in the ubunut forums.
[02:28] <broken> So shoot me for reading the forums ;)
[02:29] <jrib> Innomen: remove the old one first
[02:29] <lamego> there is a lot of wrong things on the forums ;)
[02:29] <shiznit> i need help with startup programs, i removed them from the autortart list and they still autostart
[02:29] <Innomen> jrib: as i said i get the same error regardless of telling it to install reinstall ..or remove
[02:29] <arnath> hmm, i'm getting "No DHCPOFFERS received" from dhclient eth1, anyone know if this could be a linux problem? (or is my dhcp server down?)
[02:29] <lamego> broken, that software is a bit out dated. have you tried to find an equivalent software on the repositories
[02:29] <broken> so... cough.. im not going to able to tune my guitar :(
[02:30] <broken> yea guess not a lot of guitar players use ubuntu
[02:30] <broken> :|
[02:30] <lamego> broken, have you tried gtkguitune ?
[02:30] <jrib> Innomen: pastebin the command and output
[02:30] <lamego> broken, why do you say that :) ?
[02:30] <Innomen> broken: alot of guitar players use a 10$ device from musican's friend ot tune thier guitars :P
[02:30] <ikonia> broken: I play guitar and use ubuntu
[02:30] <lamego> I see some guitar software on the ubuntu repositories
[02:30] <broken> Because I've seen like 4 tuners.
[02:30] <broken> lol
[02:30] <Innomen> jrib: one moment
[02:30] <broken> yea I can't be bothered tho :D
[02:30] <shiznit> ikonia, can you help me for a se
[02:30] <shiznit> sec*
[02:30] <lamego> there is a gtkguitune
[02:31] <Innomen> broken: *insert dismissive comment here* then
[02:31] <ikonia> shiznit I hope so, what is the problem
[02:31] <broken> normally I tune by ear, but this is a first tune after being restrung. On windows I normally used AP tuner.
[02:31] <shiznit> i added a couple programs to the autostart list and now i cant get rid of them
[02:31] <ikonia> shiznit: such as, and how did you add them
[02:31] <magnetron> why isn't the applications menu icons cached?
[02:32] <Innomen> is there a command like for remove? like sudo apt-remove?
[02:32] <shiznit> system, preferences, session
[02:32] <broken> lamego: ok fine, one second as I try to install this.
[02:32] <ikonia> Innomen: apt-get remove
[02:32] <Innomen> jheheh
[02:32] <Innomen> get remove
[02:32] <ikonia> shiznit what did you add, and what happens when you try to remove
[02:32] <arnath> i'm getting "No DHCPOFFERS received" from dhclient eth1, anyone know if this could be a linux problem? (or is my dhcp server down?)
[02:33] <ikonia> arnath: what is your dhcp server ?
[02:33] <arnath> ikonia: my router
[02:33] <shiznit> ikonia, i added fusio-icon and avant-window-navigator, i dont really need them so i removed them from the list and they still autostart
[02:33] <Innomen> jrib: i cant do it command line, sorry
[02:33] <broken> lamego: basically a bunch of main.cc:393: error: win was not declared in this scope
[02:33] <ikonia> arnath: is eth1 plugged into your router ?
[02:33] <broken> main.cc:400: error: kit was not declared in this scope
[02:33] <arnath> ikonia: yes, but i'll recheck the connection, just a sec
[02:33] <Innomen> jrib: which means no pasting a command here, you givin up? :)
[02:33] <ikonia> shiznit I see, thats unusual. Does it still show in the list ?
[02:33] <shiznit> ikonia, and a instance of filemanager autostarts too
[02:34] <shiznit> ikonia, no they are gone from the list
[02:34] <jrib> Innomen: sudo apt-get remove PACKAGE
[02:34] <ikonia> shiznit: ahhh I think I know what could be happening
[02:34] <arnath> ikonia: hmm, the  cables are all still in place, but the light indicating a connection (on the mobo) isnt on
[02:34] <Bo^Dick> i recently bought an asus EN8500GT, was this a very poor choice for ubuntu?
[02:34] <ganesh> lamego:its not working
[02:34] <shiznit> im on gutsy btw, sry if this is the wrong channel
[02:34] <lamego> broken, uh ? have you installed it from repositories ?
[02:35] <broken> lamego: its there/
[02:35] <ikonia> shiznit try closing all your applications down, then logging out of gnome - not rebooting or shuttding down, just logging out clean
[02:35] <broken> wtf... lol
[02:35] <erUSUL> !nvidia | Bo^Dick
[02:35] <ubotu> Bo^Dick: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:35] <arnath> Bo^Dick: i have a 8600gts working, should be fine
[02:35] <lamego> broken, why are you compiling software which is available at one click install ?
[02:35] <shiznit> ikonia, how?
[02:35] <broken> lamego: lol
[02:35] <phdocq> Since a few days, after update, my USB devices do not mount anymore? Anybody has a suggetison
[02:35] <ikonia> arnath dead cable ?
[02:35] <broken> beats me :D
[02:35] <ikonia> shiznit hit the logout button
[02:35] <lamego> broken, Add/Remove programs is a good place to start
[02:35] <swarm> arnath, I have 8600GTS too. good card
[02:35] <arnath> ikonia: that would be an amazing coincidence :|
[02:35] <shiznit> ikonia, and waht then
[02:35] <arnath> swarm: ah good to hear, i havent been able to benchmark it yet at home :p
[02:36] <ikonia> shiznit once you have logged out, log in
[02:36] <swarm> mine is overclocked quite a bit
[02:36] <ikonia> shiznit I think gnome is doing session restore
[02:36] <broken> I just hope it doesn't crap out on the servers..
[02:36] <prestosd> hey
[02:36] <Innomen> jrib:  ""The following packages have unmet dependencies: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9: Depends: ndiswrapper-common but it is not going to be installed"
[02:36] <Bo^Dick> actually i've read the guide already and was warned that all use of these cards were totally non-supported, non-guaranteed and so on
[02:36] <broken> lamego: I know linux lik ethe back of my hand.
[02:36] <ganesh>  lamego:chmod u+x file(abc).bin is not working
[02:36] <Innomen> wait
[02:36] <Innomen> brb
[02:36] <Bo^Dick> thus making me ask this
[02:37] <swarm> arnath, you have 256mb or 512mb? what brand? evga? asus?
[02:37] <arnath> ikonia: i booted into windows, it works just fine there
[02:37] <arnath> swarm: 256, with hdmi, brand: pov
[02:37] <ikonia> arnath: then your network card is not enabled under linux
[02:37] <DoggyDude> Hi all
[02:37] <arnath> ikonia: it was working yesterday :s
[02:37] <arnath> ikonia: so what do i do?
[02:37] <swarm> Bo^Dick, http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix-mac/236883-faq-nvidia-ubuntu.html#post2730171
[02:37] <jrib> Innomen: remove all the old ndiswrapper stuff
[02:37] <shiznit> ikonia, you were right.  it keeps restoring them.   i only disabled session restoring though
[02:37] <ikonia> arnath investigate why its not working
[02:37] <lamego> ganesh, what software are you trying to install ?
[02:38] <Innomen> jrib: I'm trying
[02:38] <arnath> ikonia: how do i do that?
[02:38] <ikonia> shiznit so your working now ?
[02:38] <pawan> when is the new version coming out
[02:38] <Innomen> keeps saying dependencies
[02:38] <shiznit> ikonia, well the programs keep getting restored.  i dont want them
[02:38] <ikonia> arnath have you got 2 network cards in this machine
[02:38] <jrib> Innomen: pastebin the command and output
[02:38] <shiznit> ikonia, how can i get a clean session? session restore is disabled
[02:38] <arnath> ikonia: just the one i believe (i find it strange that its called eth1 but hey)
[02:38] <ikonia> shiznit there is something in session mangment about session restores
[02:38] <ikonia> shiznit: you can cheat and remove .gnome from your home dir
[02:38] <Innomen> jrib: give me a command that will remove it all
[02:39] <Innomen> jrib: dude i have
[02:39] <Innomen> jrib: twice now
[02:39] <broken> lamego: you have to explain to me, what are you typing in "Add/remove" to get gtkguitune.
[02:39] <ikonia> arnath can you pastebin the output of "sudo ifconfig -a" please
[02:39] <gara> hola
[02:39] <gara> alguien que hable espaol
[02:39] <shiznit> how do i get .gnome back then
[02:39] <lamego> broken, erm, do you have gnome installed ?
[02:39] <arnath> ikonia: ok, just a sec
[02:39] <shiznit> i dont wanna lose my desktop
[02:39] <ikonia> shiznitahh right
[02:40] <ChildX> hello
[02:40] <lamego> if you did a start install, you do have an Add/Remove menu entry
[02:40] <lamego> if you do not
[02:40] <broken> i do.
[02:40] <shiznit> this session saver thing is broken
[02:40] <ikonia> shiznit thats a pain, I not sure why session restore is doing it. try .session - remove it
[02:40] <broken> But I cannot find the package.
[02:40] <Innomen> jrib: sudo apt-get remove (anything ndsi) results in "The following packages have unmet dependencies: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9: Depends: ndiswrapper-common but it is not going to be installed"
[02:40] <ChildX> i cannot go into the Suspend mode in Gutsy... I can, however, in Feisty, but cannot return then
[02:40] <lamego> have you enabled the universe respository ?
[02:40] <broken> Perhaps I need backports, and those other packages.
[02:40] <gara> hola
[02:40] <arnath> ikonia: its a lot to type (i cant copy paste, since its not online), but its eth1 & lo (need to know anything else?)
[02:40] <shiznit> ikonia, type that into terminal?
[02:40] <lamego> !! universe
[02:40] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:40] <ChildX> i cannot go into the Suspend mode in Gutsy... I can, however, in Feisty, but cannot return then
[02:40] <humbolto> I am trying to get compiz-fusion to work. Everything seems to work now, except that changing things in ccsm does not seem to have any effect until I restart compiz as a whole!
[02:40] <ikonia> shiznit look in your home dir for .session
[02:40] <shiznit> k
[02:41] <ikonia> arnath something is wrong if there is no eth0
[02:41] <jrib> Innomen: remove the package it complains about
[02:41] <Innomen> ...
[02:41] <frinux> phdocq, are you here ?
[02:41] <ChildX> i cannot go into the Suspend mode in Gutsy... I can, however, in Feisty, but cannot return then
[02:41] <arnath> ikonia: crap :< and how do i fix it?
[02:41] <ChildX> i cannot go into the Suspend mode in Gutsy... I can, however, in Feisty, but cannot return then
[02:41] <ikonia> ChildX: your language and attitude last time before logging out was inexcusable
[02:41] <Innomen> jrib: i .... have.... tried. It returns that same error message
[02:41] <shiznit> ikonia, is that a folder or file?
[02:41] <phdocq> salut frinux, je te vois
[02:41] <murlidhar> arnath: this sometimes happens . change the pci slot of the network card
[02:41] <arnath> murlidhar: its built in
[02:41] <ikonia> arnath what I need you to do is reboot and once you've rebooted do "dmesg >dmesg.out" so we can go through it together
[02:42] <ikonia> shiznit should be a file
[02:42] <ganesh> lamego:i am installing google earth linux..
[02:42] <phdocq> hi frinux, I see you
[02:42] <Innomen> jrib: in fact i get that same error message from the package manager when i tell it to remove also
[02:42] <ChildX> suck my dick
[02:42] <ikonia> there we go
[02:42] <arnath> ikonia: ok, sec
[02:42] <ikonia> jrib: you awake
[02:42] <frinux> phdocq, ok
[02:42] <jrib> Innomen: pastebin the command and output of: sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndiswrapper-common
[02:42] <jrib> ikonia: yes?
[02:42] <ChildX> suck my dick
[02:42] <ikonia> ahhh Hobbsee's here too
[02:42] <frinux> phdocq, you can ask here, and lot's of people will try to help you
[02:43] <ikonia> Hobbsee: thats about the 3rd time thats happened
[02:43] <shiznit> ikonia, so such file
[02:43] <Hobbsee> oh yes i am...
[02:43] <gara> hola
[02:43] <phdocq> I did ask, but no reply so far
[02:43] <ikonia> he normally does a runner before being banned
[02:43] <ikonia> thanks
[02:43] <Hobbsee> ikonia: you could have raised it.  ti's only now been in +!
[02:43] <ikonia> shiznit: how are you looking
[02:43] <shiznit> search
[02:43] <phdocq> Since a few days, no way to have my USB devices to be mounted on KDE
[02:43] <broken> Quick question, does ubunut or any linux for that matter pick up a mic stuck into the mic port?
[02:43] <frinux> phdocq, so you have the choice, whether to ask again, or to go to another channel (#ubuntu-fr is quite good, and in french ;-)
[02:43] <ikonia> shiznit open a terminal, do ls -la in your home dir
[02:43] <ikonia> Hobbsee didn't think he was coming back
[02:44] <Innomen> jrib: "The following packages have unmet dependencies: ndisgtk: Depends: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 but it is not going to be installed"
[02:44] <phdocq> I'll try
[02:44] <Hobbsee> ikonia: it wouldnt kill you to raise the alert anyway
[02:44] <arnath> ikonia: ok, what do you need?
[02:44] <jrib> Innomen: add that to the list
[02:44] <ikonia> Hobbsee: he only just came back
[02:44] <ikonia> arnath: can you grep through the dmesg file for "eth" see what you find
[02:44] <prestosd> Hey, I can't boot up! My boot loading thingy freezes at like %2 then goes to BusyBox 1.1.3 or something like that
[02:44] <Innomen> jrib: oh i see what you're doing, you're removing all the parts all at once
[02:44] <arnath> ikonia: ok just a sec
[02:44] <eXp`iRc|54404> hello
[02:44] <Innomen> jrib: oky hold on
[02:45] <jrib> Innomen: yes
[02:45] <franz1789> hi, I made a mistake during the configuration of a iptables rule, and I don't know how to delete it
[02:45] <franz1789> what's the command?

[02:45] <Deadspring> EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
[02:45] <ikonia> arnath thats more like it
[02:46] <ikonia> shiznit I'd log a bug for gusty then
[02:46] <shiznit> ikonia, what about a hibernate session, could it be restoring that?
[02:46] <arnath> ikonia: then it says "r8169: eth1: link down"
[02:46] <prestosd> Hey, I can't boot up! My boot loading thingy freezes at like %2 then goes to BusyBox 1.1.3 or something like that
[02:46] <arnath> ikonia: and then another ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
[02:46] <ikonia> arnath does sudo ifconfig -a" show eth0 yet ?
[02:46] <arnath> ikonia: no
[02:46] <Hobbsee> Deadspring: ?
[02:46] <franz1789> jrib, it's a honour your help, but this does not answer my question
[02:46] <jrib> ikonia, shiznit: ~/.gnome2/session
[02:46] <ikonia> arnath is this a laptop
[02:46] <ikonia> jrib ahhh thank you
[02:47] <arnath> ikonia: no
[02:47] <ikonia> thats the stuff
[02:47] <SilentDis> hello
[02:47] <bullgard4> What is the reason that ACPI Specification 3.0b does not mention HAL?
[02:47] <shiznit> jrib, i dont get it
[02:47] <ikonia> shiznit remove that file
[02:47] <shiznit> o
[02:47] <ikonia> arnath try dhclient eth0
[02:47] <broken> gah it doesn't work :d
[02:47] <Innomen> Jrib: "sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndiswrapper-common ndisgtk" results in... "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the download directory"
[02:47] <ikonia> arnath: see what happens
[02:47] <prestosd> Hey, I can't boot up! My boot loading thingy freezes at like %2 then goes to BusyBox 1.1.3 or something like that...
[02:47] <arnath> ikonia: error while getting interface flags: no such device
[02:47] <Innomen> jrib: whole new error, yay for progress :)
[02:47] <SilentDis> is it possible to resize an ext3 partition without destroying the data on it?  specifically, is it possible with the Ubuntu 7.04 LiveCD?  I have a machine with 6.10 on it i'd like to upgrade, but / is sitting on a 3gb part that's just not big enough :P
[02:47] <ikonia> arnath: something is quite wrong here, your getting eth0 on bootup - but then the device on eth1
[02:47] <shiznit> jrib, i dont see that folder
[02:48] <ganesh> ikonia:how do i inatall .bin file??
[02:48] <prestosd> Hey, I can't boot up! My boot loading thingy freezes at like %2 then goes to BusyBox 1.1.3 or something like that
[02:48] <arnath> ikonia: any idea what it could be? :S (it worked great yesterday)
[02:48] <jrib> Innomen: you have another dpkg or apt process running
[02:48] <ikonia> ganesh what are you trying to install
[02:48] <ikonia> arnath seems a bit odd to be honest, if you have the cable plugged into the network card and its saying link down - thats not the right network card
[02:49] <Innomen> why yes i do lol hold on
[02:49] <murlidhar> arnath: i never knew a lan card can be built-in a desktop pc
[02:49] <ganesh> ikonia:google earth linux
[02:49] <arnath> murlidhar: built into the mobo
[02:49] <shiznit> jrib, ~/.gnome2/session?  i cant find it
[02:49] <ganesh> ikonia: i renamed it as abc
[02:49] <ikonia> ganesh: ./$file
[02:49] <SilentDis> ganesh: iirc, google earth came as a .bin.sh file.  sh ./google-earth-whatever-version.bin.sh
[02:49] <arnath> ikonia: is there anything i could try?
[02:50] <ikonia> arnath: just pondering
[02:50] <murlidhar> arnath: mobo?
[02:50] <arnath> murlidhar: motherboard
[02:50] <murlidhar> :0
[02:50] <ikonia> arnath: does dmesg | grep eth show anything on eth1
[02:50] <murlidhar> damn when will learn these shorts
[02:51] <shiznit> ikonia, where do i find ~/.gnome2/session ?  i dont see that folder anywhre
[02:51] <josh__> what is the package for amarok that will allow me to listen to my wma's?
[02:51] <josh__> i already have the w32codecs
[02:51] <Innomen> jrib: that fixed it, thanks man
[02:51] <ViRMiN> google earth's in the Medibuntu repo
[02:51] <humbolto> I never know if I need to enable the Composite extension or not in xorg.conf. What is it for?
[02:51] <ikonia> shiznit if its not in your home dir - its not there
[02:51] <arnath> ikonia: just what i said above: r8169: eth1: link down and ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
[02:51] <ikonia> arnath and the cable is plugged in now
[02:51] <arnath> ikonia: yes
[02:51] <ganesh> SilentDis:i din't get u
[02:51] <shiznit> ok im screwed then
[02:51] <Animoy_> Hmm, new kernel patch (Gutsy) broke HDA Intel ID268 again, but old fix still works. Just rebooted after applying the patch, and sound is back
[02:52] <shiznit> gonna apt-get remover the programs
[02:52] <murlidhar> josh__: join #amarok
[02:52] <jrib> shiznit: wait
[02:52] <ganesh> ikonia:its not wirking
[02:52] <ikonia> arnath: tell you what, tail -f /var/log/messages unplug the cable, count to 10 plug it in and see if anything shows in your tail log
[02:52] <shiznit> jrib, ok
[02:52] <Innomen> shiznit: listen to jrib, he is wise :)
[02:53] <SilentDis> ganesh: I just checked, they did switch google earth download to a .bin file.  once it's downloaded, just go to a term, cd into it's directory, and type ./GoogleEarth.bin
[02:53] <arnath> ikonia: doesnt seem like it
[02:53] <Kitsun> Ive installed KDE, how do I set FireFox as the default browser?
[02:53] <jrib> shiznit: in terminal: mv ~/.gnome2/session{,.backup}
[02:53] <ViRMiN> Why not get the Google Earth package from Medibuntu?
[02:53] <SilentDis> ViRMiN: latest version, install just to home directory, etc
[02:53] <ikonia> arnath: something is causing your card problems, not sure what at the moment
[02:54] <sasa> hello all. Can someone tell me how I can convert a file from AVI to MPG? I copied a dvd in a wrong format. Thank you.
[02:54] <Innomen> bbl, thanks again jrib, ikonia
[02:54] <ViRMiN> Ah, Medibuntu package is outdated?
[02:54] <arnath> ikonia: is it possible to ... uninstall the drivers or something and reinstall em?
[02:54] <shiznit> jrib, 'cannot stat' 'no such file or directory'
[02:54] <ikonia> arnath the drivers should be part of the kernel
[02:54] <SilentDis> ViRMiN: not sure, but pulling it right from earth.google.com is more reliable
[02:54] <ikonia> arnath: unless you've installed 3rd party ones
[02:54] <arnath> ikonia: no i didnt
[02:55] <jrib> shiznit: ls ~/.config/autostart
[02:55] <ViRMiN> SilentDis: True.  I've got the Medibuntu package installed and that seems to work okay.
[02:55] <SilentDis> !ffmpeg | sasa
[02:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ffmpeg - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:55] <ikonia> jrib: does autostart override sessions ?
[02:55] <SilentDis> sasa: you're looking for ffmpeg
[02:55] <arnath> ikonia: and nothing has changed since yesterday, except that ive installed w indows xp on another harddisk and fixed the dual boot
[02:55] <shiznit> jrib, ok done
[02:55] <ikonia> arnath: seems od
[02:55] <SilentDis> sasa: let me figger out a quicky avi > mpg string for ya...
[02:55] <jrib> ikonia: complements
[02:55] <sasa> thanks Silent
[02:56] <jrib> shiznit: what was the output?
[02:56] <ViRMiN> SilentDis: v4.2.0198.2451, build date Sep 12 2007
[02:56] <ikonia> jrib: which has priority, restoring a session correctly or complying with autostart sequence
[02:56] <shiznit> jrib, none
[02:56] <shiznit> just next line
[02:56] <SilentDis> sasa: what is the 'end application' for your vid file?
[02:56] <jrib> ikonia: no idea
[02:56] <prestosd> Hey, I can't boot up! My boot loading thingy freezes at like %2 then goes to BusyBox 1.1.3 or something like that
[02:56] <ikonia> jrib: fair enough, I appriciate its a bit specific
[02:57] <sasa> AVI is the file type, I play it with VLC and wanted to burn it with K3b
[02:57] <sasa> I need it on mpg format
[02:57] <oggei> hi
[02:57] <archititi>  qui veux des pleco
[02:57] <ganesh> SilentDis:file is in desktop.i renamed as abc.bin  but  ganesh@ganesh-desktop:~$ ./abc.bin is giving error "file not found
[02:57] <shiznit> jrib, there was no output
[02:58] <arnath> ikonia: so...am i looking at a reinstall or...?
[02:58] <ikonia> ganesh chmod 775 abc.bin
[02:58] <ikonia> arnath need to figure out whats going on
[02:58] <jrib> shiznit: log out, hit ctrl-alt-f1, remove /home/USER/.gnome2/session, ctrl-alt-f7
[02:58] <SilentDis> ganesh: usually, you should be in ~/Desktop ;)
[02:59] <arnath> ikonia: but i'm not linux wiz, so i'm not sure what i can do here to figure it out :s
[02:59] <shiznit> jrib, that folder doesnt exist
[02:59] <ganesh> ikonia:chmod: cannot access `abc.bin': No such file or directory
[02:59] <shiznit> ill try it anyway
[02:59] <sasa> can someone please tell me what is the best app to use to convert from AVI to MPG please?
[03:00] <jrib> shiznit: the sequence of events is important
[03:00] <SilentDis> sasa: ffmpeg -i inputfile.avi -ab <audio_bitrate> -ar <audio_samplerate> -b <video_bitrate> -s <size> outputfile.mpg
[03:00] <sasa> SilentDis....I need ffmpeg installed I take it?
[03:00] <ganesh> SilentDis:how to go to ~/desktop?
[03:00] <HYPOCRISY> not sure
[03:00] <SilentDis> sasa: yep, sudo aptitude install ffmpeg
[03:01] <sasa> SiletDis, you rock, I'll try it
[03:01] <SilentDis> ganesh: cd ~/Desktop CaPs ArE iMpOrTaNt!
[03:01] <bullgard4> What is the reason that ACPI Specification 3.0b does not mention HAL?
[03:01] <sasa> SilentDis....what do I put in the video and audio bitrate?
[03:02] <SilentDis> sasa: I assume you want it to be around 640x480, decent audio/video?
[03:02] <Woet> What is a good client of usenet? On ubuntu
[03:02] <Woet> Like grabit/newsleecher for windows
[03:02] <punzada> woet, Klibido
[03:02] <sasa> SilentDis....It's copied off of dvd, probably a little higher rez
[03:03] <Access> I appologise in advance for my n00bish tone. Im an avid bitorrent user, and see Azerus is on linux which is a nice fall back app. However the standard program that downloads pretty much everything in linux us awesome and supports Torrents great. But where can I set the port for it, it seems to have no GUI menu?
[03:03] <Dan> Hi everyone i have a bit of a dillemma i was wondering if anyone could offer a little assistance with
[03:03] <SilentDis> sasa: ffmpeg -i inputfile.avi -ab 128 -ar 44100 -b 700 -s 640x480 outputfile.mpg -- mind you, play with the -b and -s settings to get optimal results.  you might be encoding once or twice to get what you want
[03:03] <punzada> access, if you really like azerus you should use deludge on ubuntu, it's just like it and less resource heavy, full customizeable too
[03:03] <punzada> easy setup through a gui
[03:03] <ganesh> SilentDis:,ikonia,now its installing
[03:04] <Access> Really? I like uTorrent shame we dont have that.
[03:04] <mechdave> Dan: Just ask away
[03:04] <Dan> oky coky
[03:04] <SilentDis> Access: I use ktorrent personally, for a bittorrent client... then again, i'm in KDE lol
[03:04] <Dan> well basically my windows has just developed somesort of boot problem "unmountable boot volume"
[03:04] <Dan> and i isntalled the ubuntu live cd
[03:04] <Dan> so as to get access to my files
[03:04] <jrib> !enter | Dan
[03:04] <ubotu> Dan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:05] <Dan> which i had the intention of cop[ying onto an external harddrive
[03:05] <Dan> oh o.k
[03:05] <Dan> sorry i thought there might be a limit or something
[03:05] <SilentDis> is it possible to resize an ext3 partition without destroying the data on it?  specifically, is it possible with the Ubuntu 7.04 LiveCD?  I have a machine with 6.10 on it i'd like to upgrade, but / is sitting on a 3gb part that's just not big enough :P
[03:05] <Access> Okay will install it and give it a whirl. But the generic application that downloads by default is quite a talking point when im showing off my system.
[03:05] <ganesh>  SilentDis:,ikonia,thanx a lot
[03:05] <mechdave> Dan: No the channel just auto wraps your words
[03:05] <SilentDis> ganesh: nt :)
[03:06] <shiznit> jrib, it said 'comand remove not found' or something similar
[03:06] <josh__> what is the command for mounting a smb share? i could have sworn it was : mount -t smbfs -o=username \\system\share /mount/point
[03:07] <Dan> Anyways o.k so basically microsoft windows has got all kanckered on me, so i installed ubuntu live c.d...basically what im trying to do is to copy the files off my harddrive onto an external, totally format the interal harddrive, get rid of windows, by partioting ubuntu and installing from the c.d
[03:07] <jrib> shiznit: the command to delete is 'rm'.  Note you *need* to update the path as well
[03:07] <Dan> after which copying said files from external hd back onto internal
[03:07] <Access> OKay this is a major problem, I copied all this stuff from my VIsta machine to my Linux machine. And its all on my hard disk but I dont have any permissions because im "not the owner"... Can I just do something to disale this type of security?
[03:07] <shiznit> jrib, "update" path?
[03:08] <Access> *disable
[03:08] <SilentDis> sasa: a bit off-topic, but this will give you a decent overview of some BASIC use of ffmpeg, in relation to converting youtube FLV files, and can easily be applied elsewhere:http://youmakemedia.com/2006/10/13/converting-flv-to-mpeg-in-linux/
[03:08] <mechdave> Dan: Ok, is your windows a FAT 32 file system or NTFS file system?
[03:08] <arnath> access: sudo chown could do the trick (i think)
[03:08] <Dan> but i seem to not be able to cop[y/delete or move files not only from internal to external but also simply on my internal
[03:08] <Dan> its a ntfs
[03:08] <dam9> ikonia, sorry xchat washed it away before I could google it (got distracted some minutes)  can you just repeat the name of the app you recommended for encoding to XVID? (sorry >_>)
[03:08] <jrib> shiznit: yes, replace "USER" with your actual user
[03:08] <Access> arnath: In the command prompt?
[03:08] <mechdave> Dan: Now can you mount the NTFS partitions from within Ubuntu?
[03:09] <josh__> yeah
[03:09] <shiznit> jrib, yea lol i knew that
[03:09] <Dan> i think they are mounted yes, do they need toi be unmounted?
[03:09] <arnath> Access: ye, chown is to change owner of files, so use a wildcard to indicate all files
[03:09] <shiznit> i just didnt know they actual remove comand, thx
[03:09] <rf36543g65436f54> hi guys. if anyone can help me with this that would be great. does anyone know a command that will get me the volume label of the primary drive from the terminal?
[03:09] <jrib> shiznit: k :)
[03:09] <Access> arnath: Can I make it recursive?
[03:09] <Access> arnath: -R or something?
[03:09] <arnath> Access: i have no idea, i hope so ;)
[03:09] <Access> haha thx
[03:09] <josh__> man chown
[03:10] <mechdave> Dan: No, no, just type mount without any arguments into the terminal and see what you get returned
[03:10] <dam9> rf36543g65436f54, fdisk -l
[03:10] <josh__> it should give you a list of acceptable switches
[03:10] <Access> anath: lol, now how do I find my hard disk in the command prompt :P
[03:10] <Dan> oky doky jsut a tick
[03:10] <mechdave> Dan: Oh, as sudo
[03:10] <rf36543g65436f54> dam9 : thank you  =)
[03:10] <Dan> im a total beginner im afraid...sudo mount?
[03:10] <arnath> Access: just cd to it like cd /media/mydrive
[03:10] <Access> arnath: Its a USB hard disk
[03:10] <Access> k
[03:10] <mechdave> Dan: That is correct
[03:10] <Dan> o.k done want me to post the response?
[03:10] <dam9> rf36543g65436f54, np =) dont forget sudo before the actual command
[03:11] <sasa> SilentDis
[03:11] <rf36543g65436f54> sure, no worries thanks :)
[03:11] <SilentDis> sasa: yes?
[03:11] <Access> arnath: thanks
[03:11] <sasa> this program doesn't have a GUI, does it?
[03:11] <arnath> Access: i hope it works :p
[03:11] <josh__> i can't seem to mount my smbfs...
[03:11] <superkirbyartist> Where can I get ATI Rage pro 128 drivers for Ubuntu?
[03:11] <Dan> well i would post the response but ctrl c doesnt appear to be working:P
[03:11] <SilentDis> sasa: not an 'easy' one that i've found, no.  but the command line works pretty well, once you get the hang of it.
[03:11] <josh__> it worked 3 monthes ago... fstab hasn't changed...
[03:11] <dam9> hey could anyone just mention a good app to encode raw video to xvid? (ikonia already answered but i lost the name >_<)
[03:11] <mechdave> Dan: Yeah, if it is more than about 3 lines it is best to use a pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[03:12] <sasa> SilentDis: the reason why I say is because I get this error:I/O error occured
[03:12] <sasa> Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.
[03:12] <floitting> Whats wrong with my xubuntu. everytime I install anything with apt-get, "updating fonts cache"  then it goes over many font places and says "failed to write cache"
[03:12] <Dan> pastebin? im sorry my friend these terms are alien to me right now, but the reason ive started using linux is because i like what it stands for, people helping each other out and all that
[03:12] <Dan> how do i go about pastebinning?
[03:12] <stefg> !paste
[03:12] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:13] <SilentDis> sasa: sounds like you might be re-ripping that DVD.  just FYI, it'll take about as long to re-rip as it would to reencode anyway
[03:13] <josh__> quit
[03:13] <mechdave> Dan: See the private msg window there?
[03:14] <sasa> SilentDis: I think you're right....I got tricked because the default format was AVI in the app I was using
[03:14] <superkirbyartist> Where can I get ATI Rage pro 128 drivers for Ubuntu?
[03:14] <stefg> superkirbyartist: you have them already
[03:14] <Dan> i found the webpage pastebin
[03:14] <LM1> any command line experts here...???   I need help using nautilus actions to shred files inside folders.  The %M command doesn't seem to work
[03:14] <Dan> followed the link
[03:14] <SilentDis> sasa: just curious, why do you need it as MPG?  I personally use AVI most of the time.
[03:14] <Dan> entered my name as dan and pasted
[03:14] <superkirbyartist> stefg: Then how do I enable direct rendering on the iMac G3?
[03:14] <Dan> sorry force of habit to keep hitting enter no offense intended
[03:14] <SilentDis> sasa: when i'm working on vid editing though, uncompressed mpegs is the way I go
[03:15] <stefg> superkirbyartist: this card can't do that
[03:15] <LM1> anyone here familiar with the shred command?
[03:15] <sasa> I want to burn a video cd, and k3b only takes mpg as an input
[03:15] <superkirbyartist> stefg, why not, it has 128 megs of ram!
[03:15] <katharos> hi, i've just upgraded to gutsy and i cant get my nvidia drivers to work, i dont get anywhere unless i remove the xorg.conf file
[03:15] <sasa> I wonder if acidrip application can convert it, that's the program I used to rip the dvd anyway
[03:16] <SilentDis> Dan: the chat room moves VERY fast.  that's why we have that 'rule' in place.  always best to preface your comments with the person's name you're speaking to (type the first few letters, and hit tab) and keep it to one line, so their client will ding and they can read it in one go :)
[03:16] <arnath> katharos: in gutsy, theres (in the administration dropdown i believe) something about restricted drivers, open that up
[03:16] <shiznit> jrib, no such file or directory
[03:16] <Dan> youll have to excuse me im new to this stuff :)
[03:16] <SilentDis> sasa: ahhhhh.  you're converting a DVD to a VideoCD then.  be aware, you'll be going down to 320x240 res if you wanna put 70+ min on that CD
[03:16] <katharos> arnath: i tried that it cant do anything because i dont have a xorg.conf
[03:17] <mechdave> Dan: Hang on mate, just checking out the pastebin
[03:17] <stefg> superkirbyartist: no proprietary 3D enabled driver available for your card
[03:17] <SilentDis> sasa: 640x480 is for SVCD (super Video CD), and the disk will max out around 30 min
[03:17] <Dan> oky coky :)
[03:17] <ptn107> katharos: try the   ubuntu+1    channel
[03:17] <stefg> superkirbyartist: http://ati.amd.com/products/catalyst/linux.html
[03:17] <ptn107> katharos: they fixed my X
[03:17] <katharos> ptn107: thanx, i will
[03:17] <arnath> katharos: have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg "
[03:17] <mannyz> hello
[03:17] <arnath> ?
[03:18] <sasa> SilentDis: oh I see
[03:18] <katharos> arnath: yep, no joy, on restart i had the same problem i started with
[03:18] <jrib> shiznit: and the programs started again?
[03:18] <arnath> :s
[03:18] <mannyz> where i can get nvidia drivers?
[03:18] <SilentDis> sasa: finally, there's DVD-CD (kinda like a tiny DVD, maxing at 700mb) it can hold full DVD quality, but maxes somewhere around 15 min of video
[03:18] <LM1> Is anyone here good with the command line?   I am trying to get shred to shred everything inside folders and subfolders
[03:19] <SilentDis> !info shred
[03:19] <ubotu> Package shred does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[03:19] <MannyZ> !nvidia drivers
[03:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia drivers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:19] <SilentDis> LM1: what is shred?
[03:19] <MannyZ> !nvidia

[03:19] <squidgy> Hi all.  The text on my desktop icons (Gnome) recently started linewrapping after only a few characters so that the label for a single icon occupies several lines.  How do I reset it?
[03:19] <mechdave> Dan: See the URL of your paste it should look similar to this --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39761/
[03:19] <Tomcat_> SilentDis: shred is in coreutils
[03:19] <nonix4> SilentDis: an attempt to really remove a file - does not work with modern fs's like ext3
[03:20] <Tomcat_> SilentDis: shred - overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally delete it
[03:20] <SilentDis> Tomcat_: thanks.  *hops to manpage*
[03:20] <Access> woooo
[03:20] <shiznit> jrib, yes it autostarted the programs again
[03:20] <mechdave> Dan: well paste it into where you type in here
[03:20] <Access> *hugs Ubuntu channel*
[03:20] <sasa> SilentDis: oh I see
[03:20] <sasa> SilentDis: thank you very much for your help
[03:20] <LM1> nonix4, actually according to the shred manual it works just fine unless you have journaling enabled which is not default
[03:20] <sasa> SilentDis: while we're on a roll, can I ask you another question?
[03:20] <superkirbyartist> stefg, no powerpc.
[03:20] <jrib> shiznit: what program
[03:21] <SilentDis> sasa: fire away :)
[03:21] <Dmitry_> Please install and activate NTP support in the system to enable synchronisation of your local time server with Internet time servers.
[03:21] <Dmitry_> what's the name of the package?
[03:21] <nonix4> LM1: hmm... oh yeah default was journaling just metadata?
[03:21] <shiznit> jrib, fusion-icon, avant-windows-navigator, and an instance of filemanager
[03:21] <sasa> SilentDis: I have a dell laptop with an internal wireless card: it's that broadcom debocle. Is there a way I can make that card work on ubuntu 7 and a wpa network?
[03:22] <SilentDis> sasa: i have little to no experience with wireless at this point.  I ran cat5 in my house to avoid it, also i have a 2.4ghz phone lol.  I'd recommend checking out the !wireless info block though, or asking the others in the room.  :)
[03:23] <LM1> nonix4, the FS is data=ordered by default unless you change it to data=journaled then shred works fine according to its own manual cli "man shred"
[03:23] <sasa> SilentDis: awesome....thank you for your help!
[03:23] <stefg> superkirbyartist: i undertood that. this is your problem....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297041

[03:25] <jrib> shiznit: well that session file is where this info is stored.  It should have worked.  But what happens when you use the "Sessions" program to remove it?
[03:25] <Dan> if thats cool?
[03:25] <mechdave> Dan: Did you work out the pastebin?
[03:25] <shiznit> jrib, i did that before i asked for help, does nothing
[03:25] <shiznit> they are gone from the list but still autostart
[03:25] <Dan> erm i think so =P, i pasted it as dan

[03:28] <nonix4> LM1: just remember that old versions can exist just about anywhere on the empty part of the hd...
[03:29] <mechdave> Dan: Ok so you have your external drive mounted as /media/Peace and your hard drive mounted as /media/LiFe?
[03:29] <Dan> thats correct
[03:29] <LM1> nonix4, from what I read ubuntu uses data=ordered mode on ext3 by default you would have to manually enable journaling mode

[03:30] <mechdave> Dan: Right ok, now what was the problem you are having again? (I just wanted to make sure it was all mounted ok)
[03:30] <joebloe> what kernel does the 7.10 beta use ?
[03:30] <Dan> sure o.k the problem is i have no sort of rights to do anything on Ubuntu. On windows it was fine i could copy paste delete as i saw fit...
[03:30] <Dan> but i cant even move data or delete it from my internal harddrive let alone onto the external
[03:31] <mechdave> Dan: Ok what user account are you using?
[03:31] <Dan> i have no idea my friend
[03:31] <nonix4> LM1: well I mean there're other conditions where the old versions can be left on hd... like the way ext3 avoid fragmentation

[03:32] <mechdave> Dan: Right, ok, now all you need to do is type into a terminal sudo su and it should give you a prompt with root in it somewhere
[03:32] <Dan> o.k i shall try
[03:32] <squidgy> To clarify, my text labels on icons have switched to occupying many lines because they wrap after only a few characters.
[03:32] <ptn107> MannyZ: nvidia's or ubuntus-restricted
[03:32] <joebloe> thanks thats just what i needed

[03:34] <ptn107> MannyZ: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[03:34] <mechdave> Dan: Just try sudo, I am scratching to remember as I haven't used the live cd for a while!
[03:34] <Dan> okies
[03:34] <wastrel> sudo
[03:35] <wastrel> the password is blank
[03:35] <wastrel> if it asks which i'm not sure it will or not
[03:35] <Dan> o.k i typed sudo and came up with a lot of possible variables

[03:35] <adlisyakir> hye.. how to show back desk at right bar.. my ubuntu does not show.. after i remove.. how to add back
[03:35] <Gyoza> Should I read "Just for Fun"?
[03:35] <wastrel> Dan: sudo -i  for a root shell  or  sudo <command>   to run just one command as root
[03:35] <gavintlgold> hi, simple question: is it possible to do remote desktop through the internet?
[03:36] <Dan> o.k it now says root@ubuntu:-~#
[03:36] <gavintlgold> and if so, how
[03:36] <Bauldrick_> #edubuntu
[03:36] <wastrel> Dan:  you're the root (admin) user now.  don't break anything :]
[03:36] <Bauldrick_> join edubuntu
[03:36] <Dan> so i can now move my files and back them up?
[03:37] <LM1> nonix4,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39762/  here you can read for yourself :)
[03:37] <mechdave> Dan: Cool, now to copy all your files to your external should be cp /media/LiFe /media/Peace/somefolder
[03:37] <mechdave> Dan: to create a folder (or directory) it is mkdir somefolder
[03:37] <Dan> i wasnt gonna copy them all mate, i was gonna select some ones i wanted to keep and then delete them once copied so i know what ive got and what i havent go
[03:38] <gavintlgold> does anyone know at all?
[03:38] <Dan> because to back them all up would take ages...running usb 1.0 as opposed to 2.0:P
[03:38] <Mark7> Why are there no native database applications for Gnome? :-(
[03:38] <lousygarua> Mark7: how about phpmyadmin?
[03:38] <Dan> the right click commands are still all grey?
[03:39] <mechdave> Dan: Ok, thats fine, just cp /media/LiFe/whatever/files/you/want /media/Peace/what/ever/directory/you/want
[03:39] <Dan> sorry what command would i use to do that?
[03:39] <Mark7> Databse applications that DON't Require you to have a server. Lousygarua
[03:39] <Mark7> YOu know, like Excel
[03:39] <mechdave> Dan: You have to go with command line with this one
[03:39] <Dan> hmm theres no gui interface to do it?
[03:40] <wastrel> Mark7: that's a spreadsheet.  openoffice calc or gnumeric
[03:40] <Mark7> Okay, obviously I meant Access
[03:40] <Mark7> Whoops
[03:40] <ferentix> OOo Base then?
[03:40] <Dan> i mean not just copying files from interal to external, but i cant manage (right click delete e.t.c) the files on the internal either?
[03:40] <pepino125> hi, can someone tell me how to save the security patches that I downloaded trough the software update?
[03:40] <Mark7> I don't want the rest of OOo
[03:40] <mechdave> Dan: the other way you could do it is in your terminal type nautilus /media/LiFe &
[03:41] <mechdave> Dan: and then type nautilus /media/Peace &
[03:41] <Mark7> Aren't they automaitcally saved, pepino?
[03:41] <josh__> !easysources
[03:41] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:41] <Arepie> for ATI driver, should i install libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx ?? or i should choose one of them?
[03:41] <mechdave> Dan: That should open up the file browser for you as root user
[03:41] <pepino125> Mark7, where are they saved?   I thought that was the whole idea behind synaptic
[03:42] <mechdave> Dan: Then just drag and drop your files as you need between the windows
[03:42] <gavintlgold> how would i check to see what my ip address is?
[03:42] <Mark7> Ping?
[03:42] <mechdave> gavintlgold: ifconfig -a
[03:43] <wastrel> /var/cache/apt/archives
[03:43] <Dan>  "couldnt find media/peace"
[03:43] <mechdave> Dan: Try capital p

[03:43] <Mark7> I have open-office base in my repos
[03:43] <xcst> ei can anyone help me how to install frostwire?
[03:43] <mechdave> Dan: Linux is case sensative
[03:43] <Dan> o.k :)
[03:43] <pepino125> Mar7, well, yes. but let me explain. I've DL the patches on this computer that internet access. I need to save them into USB drive and take them to another Ubuntu compter where I dont have access to the internet
[03:44] <Mark7> Oh. Then I've no idea
[03:44] <xcst> !frostwire
[03:44] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[03:44] <Mark7> Sorry
[03:44] <Dan> "couldnt find root/Media/Life"
[03:44] <gavintlgold> mechdave: how would i set it up so that my computer has a unique ip address and not just "192.168..."
[03:44] <Mark7> I tried Glom but it kept refusing to connect to a server I don't have
[03:44] <mechdave> Dan: Once again make sure that LiFe is typed correctly
[03:45] <nasser> Can I do live update 7.10 BETA to final if it released ?
[03:45] <mechdave> Dan: Note the capitals
[03:45] <Dan> yup sorry
[03:45] <nasser> Can I do live update from 7.10 BETA to final if it released ?
[03:45] <Dan> *bangs head in im stupid fashion justa tick:)
[03:45] <mechdave> Dan: No worries, it takes some getting used to :)
[03:45] <ptn107> nasser: theoretically yes, but clean install if you cna
[03:45] <ptn107> *can
[03:46] <LM1> so I have a command I want to execute from nautilus-actions   I need it to be run on all files inside folders and subfolders but not the folders themselves.    %M doesn't seem to work does anyone have any more suggestions?
[03:46] <wastrel> pepino125: /var/cache/apt/archives
[03:46] <Dan> o.k its working this time:)
[03:46] <wastrel> pepino125: i think there's an official way to do what you're trying to do, however.
[03:46] <wastrel> dunno what it is tho
[03:46] <Dan> after ive typed that
[03:46] <Dan> the terminal window is on a fresh line with no prompt
[03:47] <Dan> ? open a new terminal?
[03:47] <mechdave> Dan: Oh, you must have forgotten the &
[03:47] <Mark7> I already have Abiword and Gnumeric installed, so adding the OOo suite would just be duplicating
[03:47] <jrib> LM1: find
[03:47] <Phrozen_One> is there a program in ubuntu that allows for partition backup and burn to a dvd?
[03:47] <Dan> ah yeah cool sorted :)
[03:47] <Dan> o.k now the moment of truth ;)
[03:48] <LM1> jrib?
[03:48] <wastrel> Mark7: are you running low on disk space?  ;]
[03:48] <jrib> Phrozen_One: checkout partimage
[03:48] <arnath> anyone know how to get rid of overscan on a tv with linux?
[03:48] <Mark7> NO, I'm just trying to keep to low processor usage apps
[03:48] <Phrozen_One> jrib, gtk or cli?
[03:48] <pepino125> wastrel ............ok, /var/cache/apt/archives seems to have all the Downloads. So all the downloads are .deb?
[03:48] <ptn107> question... how can I force synaptic (or apt) to force download a package and not install it, even if its already installed and i [accidentally]  deleted the .deb from /var/cache/apt/archives
[03:49] <wastrel> pepino125: that's correct
[03:49] <jrib> Phrozen_One: cli
[03:49] <Dan> i do not have permission apparently :P
[03:49] <Phrozen_One> oh, think I used it
[03:49] <Dan> *sighs
[03:49] <Mark7> I only have 256mbs and eight hundred odd gHz to play with
[03:49] <jrib> !backup > Phrozen_One (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:49] <FlyingPig> Dan 'chmod --help'
[03:49] <wastrel> Dan: is the destination disk NTFS?
[03:49] <pepino125> wastrel, one more thing. How do I install the .deb extension? pkgadd?
[03:49] <wastrel> ubuntu can't write to ntfs out of the box
[03:49] <jrib> LM1: 'find' is a command
[03:49] <wastrel> pepino125: dpkg -i file.deb
[03:49] <Dan> yes
[03:49] <ptn107> gutsy can
[03:50] <pepino125> wastrel, awesome... your the man!
[03:50] <Dan> wastreal it is ntfs
[03:50] <Phrozen_One> jrib, thank you for the assistance
[03:50] <mechdave> wastrel: yes, but shouldn't ntfs-3g work?
[03:50] <wastrel> iono, i never use windows
[03:50] <LM1> jrib, yes I know but I need a parameter not a command :)  its for nautilus-actions
[03:50] <Mark7> Hmm.  It looks like OOo is modular after all
[03:50] <wastrel> Dan: you need to enable ntfs writing before you can copy your files to that disk
[03:51] <Dan> o.k and how would i go about doing that my good man?:)
[03:51] <wastrel> beats me, i never use windows :]
[03:51] <mechdave> wastrel: it is mounted as rw --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39760/
[03:51] <Mark7> I used Windows a long time ago
[03:52] <Dan> *sighs
[03:52] <arnath> anyone know if you can counter overscan with linux?
[03:52] <Mark7> Anyone here use Liferea?
[03:52] <jrib> LM1: pass 'find'  the top-level directory and use -type and -exec
[03:52] <wastrel> mechdave: ah ntfs is already enabled on the livecd?
[03:52] <mechdave> Dan: Hang on mate, just hooking up my NTFS drive
[03:52] <FlyingPig> wastrel so u never use windows? you use wine?
[03:52] <Dan> you dont have to dave mate if its gonna be a hassle
[03:53] <wastrel> FlyingPig:  no, just linux
[03:53] <mechdave> wastrel: It appears as so
[03:53] <wastrel> although right now os x, since my linux laptop died & i'm using my wife's
[03:53] <FlyingPig> wastrel yeah im the same. but you know alot of people like their pc games.
[03:53] <Dan> im just a  bit perplexed i know linux is a much safer securer and faster o/s but its just lacking a bit of user friendlyness ya know
[03:53] <LM1> jrib, yes thanks but I am trying to use nautilus actions to do this so I can right click a folder and execute the command without brining up cli
[03:53] <LM1> jrib, thanks anyway
[03:53] <murlidhar> like me i have installed windows for my xp
[03:54] <murlidhar> for my games of course
[03:54] <Dan> i really want to start using linux as i said i like the whole concept of a community
[03:54] <jrib> LM1: yes I know... this should work
[03:54] <Dan> *shrugs
[03:54] <mechdave> Dan: Well it does from the point of view of someone who has just stepped off the window$ roundabout onto the Linux one... I was there myself a few years ago!
[03:55] <LM1> jrib, ok so I put -type -exec into the parameters option in nautilus-actions?
[03:55] <Dan> take for instance my internet just using this ubuntu live cd..its faster than ive ever seen it before
[03:55] <Dan> almost instant whereas with windows it was soooooo slow....
[03:55] <squidgy> Hi.  Are my messages getting through?  I'm not being impatient, just wondering if ERC is working.
[03:55] <jrib> LM1: in some form
[03:55] <agraman> Dan, you'll find Ubuntu Feisty to be quite friendly
[03:55] <Mark7> Yes they are
[03:56] <Julius> i know this is vague but how do i boot with it8212.noraid=1 option for a module
[03:56] <Julius> putting it in /etc/modues/options didnt help
[03:56] <Dan> i'm not gonna give up though
[03:56] <squidgy> Mark7: thanks.
[03:56] <Dan> im gonna get this bloody info backed up and install ubuntu if its the last thing i do
[03:56] <Mark7> Damn, nicknames are stil coloured
[03:56] <Dan> :P
[03:57] <Dan> so can anyone tell me why the buttons for delete e.t.c are greyed out and how i go about ungreying them?:)

[03:58] <Dan> ive just thopught of a solution
[03:58] <Mark7> Blimey, OOo is slow
[03:59] <mechdave> Is the ubuntu machine connected to the internet?
[03:59] <LM1> jrib, according to the manual it works fine on ext as long as you don't use data=journaled mode
[03:59] <Dan> take out this harddrive (internal) take it upstairs to my other comp runnnig windows
[03:59] <Dan> and plug it in as a slave
[03:59] <LM1> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39762/  read for yourself
[03:59] <Dan> running the upstairs computer as an intermediary between internal and external
[03:59] <LM1> :)
[03:59] <Mark7> And I can't create a table :-(
[04:00] <jrib> LM1: right
[04:00] <Dan> a lot of hassle but i think it will work :P
[04:00] <mechdave> Dan: You could do that, it probably would be easier for now, I don't know if apt-get would work with the live cd
[04:00] <Dan> yeah thats what im thinking..im thinknig once i install ubuntu ill probably have more rights/whatever...but its the matter of getting the files off before partitioning ya know
[04:00] <Dan> catch 22 and all:P
[04:01] <kbrooks> what is the best wireless router that works?
[04:01] <kbrooks> er...\

[04:01] <kbrooks> out of the box
[04:01] <Dan> oh well Dave, thanks for your assistance anyways mate
[04:02] <Mark7> Why is there no native database with GUI for Gnome/xfce?
[04:02] <erUSUL> Mark7: do you mean like access ??
[04:02] <Mark7> Yeah
[04:03] <erUSUL> Mark7: OO.org Base ?
[04:03] <GBenemy> yeah
[04:03] <mechdave> Dan: No worries, when you do get Ubuntu installed (or even before) try http://tldp.org, it is all the documentation you will need for a while for Linux
[04:03] <Dan> o.k mate much appreciated..time to go back up :P
[04:03] <Mark7> I tried that, erUSUL.  It wouldn't let me set up a table
[04:03] <Dan> have a good one bud - later :)
[04:03] <mechdave> Dan: No worries :)
[04:04] <erUSUL> Mark7: that's the close thing i know... try glom (a little more advanced as i neeed a DB server iirc)
[04:04] <Mark7> I keep getting an error in Glom :-(
[04:05] <jrib> LM1: make sure you test with some user that has no important files

[04:15] <jamesbrose> amadeux: strange, .cue files are cd images

[04:24] <amadeux> jamesbrose: yeah, I know. But I can't just apt-get some stuff
[04:24] <root_____> what port does tightvnc use by default || where are the config files located at?
[04:24] <jamesbrose> amadeux: why not?
[04:24] <amadeux> jamesbrose: things are not in the repository

[04:24] <root_____> nevermind found it
[04:25] <IndyGunFreak> Mark7: what is your problem?
[04:25] <Mark7> I chose the create on own computer option, so why is ir giving me crap about a server?
[04:25] <jamesbrose> amadeux: they are here - http://morgoth.free.fr/ubports/?d=feisty to download
[04:25] <amadeux> jamesbrose: yeah, but not in the repo
[04:25] <Mark7> Do I have to buy space on a webserver to use Glom?
[04:25] <jamesbrose> amadeux: download the debs, install them
[04:26] <jamesbrose> Mark7: not if you have your own server
[04:26] <PIrate_Bill> is anyone else having problems with update manager in 7.04?  I keep getting hung-up while in the process of downloading 7.10
[04:26] <Mark7> I don't
[04:26] <Mark7> I have a PC
[04:26] <Mark7> I just want a database
[04:26] <jamesbrose> I assumed, couldn't you install whatever you need on your PC then?
[04:26] <Mark7> I don't want to write software, or run a website
[04:26] <Mark7> I JUST WANT a database
[04:27] <jamesbrose> Mark7: what kind of database?
[04:27] <Mark7> Access-like
[04:27] <sin18> jrib : thanks
[04:27] <mechdave> Mark7: Just install MySQL
[04:27] <Mark7> And I've tried BAse, it doesn't work properly on its own
[04:27] <jamesbrose> Mark7: http://www.glom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[04:27] <jamesbrose> maybe?
[04:27] <Mark7> Does MySQL have a GUI?
[04:28] <jamesbrose> Mark7: not by default
[04:28] <jamesbrose> but you can install mysql-client
[04:28] <Mark7> Then it's of no use to me
[04:28] <Mark7> Right
[04:28] <Mark7> I'll try that
[04:28] <mechdave> Mark7: PhpMyAdmin comes fairly close tho
[04:28] <jamesbrose> Yes, you need a PHP enabled web server for phpmyadmin
[04:29] <_0xf> wtf
[04:29] <onesandzeros> hi
[04:29] <mechdave> Hmmm could be a problem for Mark7
[04:29] <_0xf> how do i burn ubuntu iso to dvd with nero
[04:29] <_0xf> my copy i just burned wont work on reboot
[04:29] <Affix> _0xf, Open the image with nero Burnig rom
[04:29] <_0xf> kk ty
[04:30] <JEFFmasterFlex> Mark7:  what's preventing you from you using a spreadsheet as a basic database? (GASP!)
[04:30] <_0xf> waisted a dvd burning data dvd
[04:30] <_0xf> :(
[04:30] <LM1> jrib, I googled shred and exec and find etc and I found this page I followed his instructions but they didn't work http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2126528,00.asp
[04:30] <LM1> :C
[04:30] <rsis110> heyyy. can anyone help me with this
[04:31] <rsis110> say i had a program in some place, but i wanna be able to run it from anywhere
[04:31] <jamesbrose> Mark7: openoffice Calc comes with ubuntu
[04:31] <mechdave> _0xf: you have to burn it from an image in nero
[04:31] <Mark7> Nothing.  I just think it'd be nice if there was a standalone db app for Gnome
[04:31] <rsis110> instead of having to cd to the directory or type in the whole path
[04:31] <momal> Anyone here happen to know of a command line id3 (mp3) tag editor? need it to support utf-8 and parameters on it to edit the tags
[04:32] <wastrel> rsis110: create ~/bin  and put a symlink there pointing to the program
[04:32] <JEFFmasterFlex> Mark7:  I use Kexi for db related garbage. it's pretty awesome. but it's a KDE app
[04:32] <jrib> LM1: how did you set it up
[04:32] <wastrel> rsis110: or make an alias   alias foo=/some/path/to/foo
[04:32] <rsis110> ahh i see
[04:32] <Mark7> Does it use resources efficiently, JEFF?
[04:32] <rsis110> thing is.. more specifically I'm trying to run qmake
[04:33] <rsis110> but it seems to be pointing to qt3 instead of qt4 version
[04:33] <LM1> jrib, just as it said in the article.
[04:33] <rsis110> I was just wondering if I could redirect it somehow.
[04:33] <JEFFmasterFlex> Mark7:  kde apps add bloat to a Gnome install. but it's pretty smooth. for a simple database it uses sqlite
[04:34] <JEFFmasterFlex> Mark7: sqlite is fast and small
[04:34] <wastrel> rsis110: check the alternatives system?   sudo update-alternatives --config qmake  maybe
[04:34] <wastrel> not sure
[04:34] <Mark7> I'm using xfce
[04:34] <rsis110> ohh
[04:34] <rsis110> waah. learning X3
[04:34] <rsis110> this is like. my first linux ever lol
[04:34] <jrib> LM1: paste here what you input in nautilus actions
[04:34] <JEFFmasterFlex> Mark7:  same deal. these are all qt apps running in a GTK environment. some people aren't cool with that.
[04:34] <Plouj> hi
[04:35] <rsis110> wastrel: thats awesome. thanks heaps
[04:35] <acecase> what is a good log to look at to see why my system is locking sometimes at startup/shutdown? dmesg isn't showing anything useful
[04:35] <Plouj> does anyone know if Ubuntu's packages have Rocks 'n Diamonds somewhere?
[04:35] <Mark7> I'm an apps apartheidist
[04:35] <Mark7> I like to keep them seperate wherever possible
[04:35] <JEFFmasterFlex> Mark7:  you can always use OpenOffice Base, but then there goes that "light on resources" thing you wanted
[04:35] <acecase> Plouj, I don't know about ubuntu packages (or even if getdeb will have it) but you could check with getdeb.com
[04:36] <JEFFmasterFlex> Mark7:  too bad, kde apps are pretty awesome. i couldn't function in my daily life without Amarok
[04:36] <onesandzeros> hey guys,iam trying to get compiz running, but i need to install ati drivers first, can someonehelp me out pls?
[04:36] <Mark7> WOOHOO!  England are 5 minutes away from the RWC semis :-D
[04:36] <acecase> JEFFmasterFlex, I agree, KDE has some great apps built for it
[04:36] <kittyhawk> hi
[04:37] <kittyhawk> I installed feisty on my laptop, and I turned on the desktop effects.  Everything works well except the root window is only drawing over about 2/3 of the screen
[04:37] <kittyhawk> so there's a hall of mirrors over on the right
[04:37] <kittyhawk> any ideas?
[04:37] <JEFFmasterFlex> acecase:  ktorrent, amarok, konversation, kmail, k3b... they are all awesome
[04:38] <mechdave> Mark7: At least you look like you can beat us in the rugby!!  :)
[04:38] <acecase> JEFFmasterFlex, kOffice :)
[04:39] <kittyhawk> or at least, does anyone know where I can look for some good info?
[04:39] <JEFFmasterFlex> acecase:  all my work is done in Kate and Tex, so unfortunately, no KOffice for me. but it is good, I have used it
[04:40] <acecase> JEFFmasterFlex, the K app that I use most is basKet which is awsome for notes in class. I use gnome DE though so K apps can be buggy :/
[04:40] <bascule> kittyhawk: tried changing wallpaper/refreshing desktop?
[04:40] <mmkassem> JEFFmasterFlax: Deluge is a good ktorrent alternative for GTK/Gnome users .. Banshee instead of amarok
[04:40] <JEFFmasterFlex> mmkassem: Banshee CANNOT replace Amarok. not even close. and deluge is still buggy
[04:41] <bascule> yeah, amarok has no equal anywhere at all ony any OS
[04:41] <JEFFmasterFlex> mmkassem:  in gnome i prefer transmission instead of deluge
[04:41] <acecase> does anyone know of a daemon or anything that will watch my startup/shutdown process and log what happens before it locks. I'm just seeing a black screen when it locks so I can't even see that last thing that went well
[04:41] <kittyhawk> bascule: no good.  I turned on cube flipping and the cube is really a cube (not a rectangle)  I think for some reason it thinks my desktop size is square
[04:41] <fuzzyhair> I need a program to use my computer when I am elsewhere. I know kubuntu has one, but I forgot what it was. Any ideas?
[04:42] <bascule> kittyhawk: interesting possibility
[04:42] <acecase> fuzzyhair, freenx is a great one
[04:42] <mmkassem> JEFFmasterFlex: I did not try transmission, may be I should give it a try .. Deluge works good for me under Gusty.
[04:42] <fuzzyhair> acecase: when booting and shutting down press alt+f1
[04:42] <fuzzyhair> acecase thanks
[04:43] <JEFFmasterFlex> mmkassem:  download it from getdeb.net, i think the one in the repos is old
[04:43] <acecase> fuzzyhair, thanks but it goes black before I get a chance. which probably meens nothing would have time to load to watch anyway :/
[04:43] <bascule> kittyhawk: beryl or compiz-fusion?
[04:43] <pastyhermit> Hi All
[04:43] <mechdave> Bugga... Missed beating the POMS by 2 points!! :(
[04:43] <kbrooks> JEFFmasterFlex, getdeb doesnt make very good debs
[04:43] <pastyhermit> is there a way to get ubuntu of fmy machine and to get the partition back?
[04:43] <arnath> how can i manually set the ip in ubuntu?
[04:43] <JEFFmasterFlex> kbrooks:  HEY i used to contribute to getdeb... lol
[04:44] <kittyhawk> bascule: I think compiz.  I just logged in and clicked "enable desktop effects"
[04:44] <LM1> jrib,  ok thanks I got it working finally  path= find  parameters= %M -type f -exec shred -f -u -z '{}' \;     but is there a way to password protect it like sudo or gksu
[04:44] <pastyhermit> arnath, ifconfig
[04:44] <kittyhawk> ps shows compiz running
[04:44] <mechdave> pastyhermit: how do you mean partition back?
[04:44] <JEFFmasterFlex> kbrooks:  honestly all my debs were made with checkinstall. checkinstall sucks sometimes
[04:44] <LM1> does anyone here know is it possible to password protect a nautilus-actions command with gksu or sudo
[04:44] <LM1> im not having much luck :(
[04:44] <bascule> kittyhawk: OK, those are minor additions, try turning them back off and installing comiz-fusion + plugins
[04:44] <timothywcrane> quick question in gui totem has no problems, but when I activate from CLI it reports that files are not found, any suggest?
[04:45] <mmkassem> arnath: for GUI way, use System>Administration > Network
[04:45] <bascule> kittyhawk: compiz I meant
[04:45] <mechdave> arnath: sudo ifconfig ethx address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[04:45] <pastyhermit> mechdave, when I install ubuntu parted resized my wxp partition
[04:45] <timothywcrane> am I missing a variable?
[04:45] <pastyhermit> unfortunatly XP runs faster than ubuntu on my hardware.
[04:45] <acecase> fuzzyhair, freeNX is more of a "out of the box" solution that just works with little config. X itsself can run accross a network but I don't know how to get it working and it's hard from what I here. I use freeNX for remote gnome it works great. for remote KDE the tooltips etc can cause lag.
[04:45] <pastyhermit> I would like to remove it
[04:46] <acecase> fuzzyhair, I play games on the remote gnome desktop though (local network) and it runs great. Dunno why KDE desktop effects cause so much lag
[04:46] <acecase> pastyhermit, you want to remove ubuntu?
[04:47] <bascule> pastyhermit: XP is faster, something wrong there ...
[04:47] <lucas_> hi. i can't print a document because i need to replace the ink cartridges. but i have an epson stylus cx3900 and don't know which of the 4 cartridges i have to replace (red, yellow, red, black).. in windows there was a program that showed me the ink left in each cartridge..
[04:47] <mechdave> sudo fdisk /dev/hd# will do, the # is the drive to look at, ie hda is pri master and hdb is pri slave etc
[04:47] <pbx> This may be outside the scope of this channel, but: I have an Ubuntu install where I have turned off GDM (because I have been experimenting with alternate login managers and window managers). Before I start X, I'm in a teeny terminal session in the middle of my screen. Is there any way to make that fullscreen?
[04:47] <pbx> Then I might not need X at all :)
[04:47] <jrib> LM1: you could create a confirmation dialog with zenity maybe
[04:47] <fuzzyhair> acecase: how did you get freenx. Was it hard to set up? This will be for one person in florida and one person in georgia...
[04:47] <pastyhermit> bascule, dont lecture the choir
[04:47] <LM1> !zenity
[04:47] <mechdave> pastyhermit: Hmmm something really wrong here
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about zenity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:47] <JEFFmasterFlex> pastyhermit:  delete the ubuntu with gparted, resize your NTFS partition, then use a WIN XP install disc to fix the master boot record and install NTLOADER
[04:48] <pastyhermit> Im LPIC-2 and my job is taking care of really big Dell Linux boxes
[04:48] <LM1> jrib, whats zenity? sorry im a noob and thank you for all the help
[04:48] <pastyhermit> J thanks
[04:48] <pastyhermit> mechdave, well are there good docs on tweaking ubuntu
[04:48] <_0xf> Nice fresh instald ubuntu after trying to get my dlin wireless usb to work and right off install it works with ubuntu
[04:48] <pastyhermit> for some reason it is definatly slower
[04:48] <acecase> fuzzyhair, http://www.nomachine.com/
[04:48] <pbx> LM1: zenity is a simple command-line tool for generating dialogs from shell scripts.  For simple user interaction.
[04:48] <bascule> pbx, there are many non-x requiring 'desktop' enviroments using the fbdev stuff, to resolve the small console google up hi-res consoles ubuntu
[04:48] <pastyhermit> I turned off al the visual crap...
[04:48] <pastyhermit> but still
[04:48] <acecase> fuzzyhair, they have clients and servers for linux/windows/mac
[04:49] <pbx> bascule: thanks!
[04:49] <KevlarSoul> I installed Ubuntu , it created a new partition, everything seemed to setup nicely, I rebooted, and it went to windows like I didnt install anything else? No Dual boot choice? I use Vista....anyone?
[04:49] <kittyhawk> bascule: dpkg-query says compiz and compiz-plugins are installed.  Do I need to do something to activate them?
[04:49] <acecase> fuzzyhair, best of all they have debs :)
[04:49] <pastyhermit> maybe I will just slide another disk in here
[04:49] <bascule> kittyhawk: alt+F2 -> compiz
[04:49] <lucas_> hi. i can't print a document because i need to replace the ink. i have an epson stylus cx3900 and don't know which of the 4 cartridges to replace (cyan, yellow, magenta, black).. in windows there was a program that showed me the ink left in each cartridge..
[04:49] <mechdave> pastyhermit: I am not aware of any, try googling them. I just have never heard of XP being faster than ubuntu
[04:49] <timothywcrane> slow ubuntu? http://desktoplinux.com/news/NS5715846915.html this might help
[04:49] <pbx> lucas_: I'd check your manual to see if there's a way to get the printer to tell you.
[04:50] <acecase> fuzzyhair, one thing to remember is that when installing the server you need to install the two dependencies first. (as usual) the downloads page shows the deps
[04:50] <pastyhermit> mechdave, well for some reason, for this hardware (thinkpad R31) it is
[04:50] <bascule> pastyhermit: LPI-2 and you can't remove ubuntu, your not very good...
[04:50] <timothywcrane> quick Google for speed up linux came up with it, no guarantees
[04:50] <pastyhermit> bascule, heh no, I have just never used gparted all that much
[04:50] <jrib> LM1: 'man zenity'  should be easy to follow.  Try 'zenity --info' for an example
[04:51] <bascule> pastyhermit: partitions are partitions, many tools
[04:51] <rico> hey guys. how do I boot Ubuntu and make it go to a cmd prompt, and /not/ GDM?
[04:51] <pastyhermit> bascule, fdisk doesnt resize.
[04:51] <rico> (using grub)
[04:51] <JEFFmasterFlex> pastyhermit:  if you want to go back to XP I recommend using the GParted LiveCD instead of the Ubuntu disc. THe Ubuntu partitioner is pretty crappy
[04:51] <kittyhawk> bascule: I ran compiz --replace at the command line, same story only a fraction of the background is drawn
[04:51] <desertc> Hello - I am having problems with Launchpad.  I cannot create my personal wiki -- it errors and says I don't have permissions.
[04:51] <kittyhawk> also the panels are cut off
[04:51] <bascule> kittyhawk: then I am baffled
[04:51] <kittyhawk> but I can drag windows over there and they work fine
[04:51] <kittyhawk> it's very strange
[04:51] <pastyhermit> JEFFmasterFlex, thanks you, that was the advice I was looking for
[04:52] <acecase> have a good one *
[04:52] <mechdave> pastyhermit: Looks like you aren't alone with the R31 problems!
[04:52] <pastyhermit> thanks JEFFmasterFlex , see bascule that is the kind of thing that I have not yet ventured into, there are many ways of doing things, both good and bad, both clean and sloppy, dont assume that Im and idiot just because I have not problems admitting that I cant know everything and there are better ways of doing things.
[04:53] <bascule> pastyhermit: sure
[04:53] <rico> hey guys. how do I boot Ubuntu and make it go to a cmd prompt, and /not/ GDM?
[04:53] <Ghismo> hi guys
[04:53] <Ghismo> i have a particular question for u
[04:53] <Rabbitbunny> has anyboy gotten a sixthgen iPod (160Gb Classic) working under 6.06?
[04:53] <Ghismo> i wish to see
[04:53] <pastyhermit> mechdave, no Im not, I also had to flash the NIC to get it quasi reliable
[04:53] <Ghismo> the rugby world cup
[04:53] <Ghismo> but in my country u have to pay to see it
[04:53] <pastyhermit> This is an excellent laptop...
[04:54] <westjd> when I close the lid of my laptop and open it back up the graphics are scrabbled.
[04:54] <Rabbitbunny> rico: ctrl+alt+F1 anytime it's booted.
[04:54] <_0xf> Hi, im isntalling a fresh copy of ubuntu and im on the partition screen. i want to make a small boot partition so i can encrypt the rest of the disk with truecrypt
[04:54] <Ghismo> so i'm wondering if there is a channel of another country
[04:54] <_0xf> do i just make a /booot
[04:54] <JEFFmasterFlex> pastyhermit:  the thinkpads rock, too bad you had a better experience with XP, but I say go with what works for you
[04:54] <Ghismo> and if does exist a tool for see it
[04:54] <Ghismo> anyone could help me?
[04:54] <rico> Rabbitbunny, I'm updating my X server drivers and there's a risk that my system will hang the moment it gets to GDM. is there a way to bypass it?
[04:54] <rico> single mode perhaps?
[04:54] <pastyhermit> JEFFmasterFlex, well the tools I use are all OSS
[04:54] <pastyhermit> (LAMP) stuff
[04:55] <pastyhermit> Eclipse subversion PHP MySQL etc...
[04:55] <fuzzyhair> acecase: I will be able to use this outside of my network right?
[04:55] <Rabbitbunny> rico: if it hangs hard boot and try again.
[04:55] <devious`> hi all
[04:55] <pastyhermit> perhaps I will give them another shot on ubuntu but I've gotta stop all this crap from loading.
[04:55] <devious`> i got a problem: cant boot my kubuntu partition :S
[04:55] <pastyhermit> bascule, you do see my point above though no?
[04:55] <bascule> sure
[04:56] <pastyhermit> devious`, what happened? did you install something over it, or muddle with your partition table?
[04:56] <_0xf> anyone?
[04:56] <devious`> pastyhermit: i didnt do anythin, i just restarted and it wont boot anymore. Im a newb to linux so i didnt mess with anything. From windows, that partition appears as RAW!!
[04:57] <delagrandy> how to configure samba to work with xp
[04:57] <LM1> jrib, thanks but I think zenity is a bit over my head :C
[04:57] <vsayikiran> please help me, i am able to download .torrent file
[04:57] <so> hello friends
[04:57] <bascule> devious`: it would, windows can't see linux partitions
[04:57] <_0xf> anyone??
[04:57] <_0xf> should i make /boot 8gb   swap 4gb / 59gb and /media/hda7 4gb
[04:57] <neopsyche> Hi, how do i open device manager on feisty?
[04:58] <so> can you tell me about a graphic apps to mount disk images ?
[04:58] <vsayikiran> anyone tell me how to download .torrent file
[04:58] <MrPink> vsayikiran download Azureus
[04:58] <so> _0xf, swap have to be about 10 % of your total disk space
[04:58] <devious`> bascule: no man, i installed Ext2IFS_1_10c recently, and it shows linux partition and i could see everything inside. But since yestarday it appears RAW
[04:58] <flokuehn> _0xf: what do you want to put on your boot partition?
[04:58] <JEFFmasterFlex> vsayikiran:  you need a torrent client. ubuntu has one built in, then there is deluge, transmission, azureus
[04:58] <bascule> devious`: I see, then that is a problem
[04:58] <MrPink> I thought swap was suposed to be 2x Ram
[04:59] <so> _0xf, depending on your ram
[04:59] <mechdave> _0xf: I have always made boot about 200Mb, swap twice ram and the rest I just divided up into whatever I thought reasonable for what I was doing at the time
[04:59] <bascule> so: MrPink is right 2x RAM
[04:59] <vsayikiran> JeFF: but it is giving some error
[04:59] <so> bascule, oui / yes
[04:59] <devious`> bascule: is there in linux something like dos command 'fixboot' or something like that. It helped with windows situations
[04:59] <neopsyche> do i need to install special drivers for my ati card?
[04:59] <JEFFmasterFlex> MrPink: that only applie if you have less than 1 GB of RAM. you can cheat on the SWAP with that much ram
[04:59] <maillerou> hello, how to know how many disk free space

[05:00] <maillerou> i use df

[05:01] <mechdave> Last time I installed Ubuntu I just made it all a LVM
[05:01] <vsayikiran> JeFF: when downloading i get this error (-2, name or service not known)
[05:01] <JEFFmasterFlex> so: i use kiso in kde, i thin kfor GNOME there is one called MasterISO or ISOMaster
[05:01] <sdRhod> hi guys. I wonder if you can help... I am trying to install Ubuntu from the bootable CD version I downloaded earlier. It gets through the 'loading kernel' stage, then displays a progress bar swooshing left and right, and then my PC num lock key starts flashing and the progress bar stops at one bar full (where it currently remains). Any ideas?
[05:01] <bascule> devious`: have you tried to boot both, have you run fsck from recover mode?
[05:02] <so> JEFFmasterFlex,  i heard also about gnome iso or gnomiso forgot the correct name
[05:02] <vsayikiran> JEFFmasterFlex: when downloading i get this error (-2, name or service not known)
[05:02] <timothywcrane> files register on locate, but refuse to play in any player under CLI, says file not found. Searched all day for answer. It must be so simple. But wracked my brain to no avail.
[05:02] <devious`> bascule: i tried to boot both, and neither one works. I did not run fsck from recovery mode. What is it, and should i try it?
[05:02] <Shady^> Hey! I just installed Ubuntu on my old laptop, i installed it to the HDD, then restarted it! Now the screen is black, how do i get it to work? :P
[05:02] <JEFFmasterFlex> vsayikiran:  try using deluge. download the torrent file and then open it up with deluge
[05:02] <bascule> devious`: fsck is a file system checker like chkdsk /r , it may well solve the problem
[05:03] <devious`> ok, ill restart now, come back in a min with results, hopely from linux :D
[05:03] <so> timothywcrane, what kind of streaming is it ?
[05:03] <vsayikiran> JEFFmasterFlex: but whats is the problem with bittorrent
[05:03] <devious`> bascule:  ok, ill restart now, come back in a min with results, hopely from linux :D
[05:03] <bascule> a min, fsck will take longer than that ..
[05:03] <JEFFmasterFlex> vsayikiran:  I don't know I don't use Gnome.
[05:03] <timothywcrane> simple .ogg files
[05:03] <Shady^> Hey! I just installed Ubuntu on my old laptop, i installed it to the HDD, then restarted it! Now the screen is black, how do i get it to work? :P
[05:03] <MrPink> vsaykiran as I said Azureus is a good linux BitTorrent Client!
[05:04] <timothywcrane> and .wavs
[05:04] <so> timothywcrane, you have to get the correct codec for vlc
[05:04] <timothywcrane> in gui everything works ok.
[05:04] <vsayikiran> is there anyone who uses bittorrent
[05:04] <so> timothywcrane, ok so why do you need it in console mode ?
[05:04] <timothywcrane> does it not grab the codecs in CLI? seems strange
[05:04] <so> :))
[05:04] <MrPink> yes ^^
[05:04] <MrPink> I use torrent
[05:04] <kenchu0> http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Comics/Dave/comicexam.png
[05:05] <mmkassem> vsayikiran: what are trying to download?
[05:05] <Shady^> hello im gay ;)
[05:05] <timothywcrane> to run it via cron, for an automated clock. They are grandfather clock chime files
[05:05] <vsayikiran> mmkassem: i am trying to download a .torrent file
[05:05] <MrPink> vsayikiran can you read what I am writing? lol
[05:06] <vsayikiran> mmkassem: this torrent file is easily downloading in winxp
[05:06] <Hotkey> Just installed 7.10 - no system sounds tho.??
[05:06] <naknomik> I have a ftp server on which I want to put some files and keep them sync'd from my local drive. Can I use rsync for that?
[05:06] <MrPink> VSAYIKIRAN ?!?
[05:06] <so> i dont know  :)
[05:07] <maillerou> naknomik : use sitecopy ...
[05:07] <maillerou> check sitecopy on the net
[05:07] <TUXedomember> hey guy's ok so each time i log in my computer logs me out right after i log in anyone know why?
[05:07] <MrPink> hm why do I have the feeling that vsayikiran can't read what I am writing ?
[05:08] <Trixsey> Hey I just installed Ubuntu but my screen turned black, I suspect something is up with the drivers (I need to enable prop. drivers?).. could someone give me a guide? I'm using ATI :)
[05:08] <aidehua> If I add another graphics card to my PC, will it be easy to setup a two display system?
[05:08] <so> TUXedomember,  have you seen the x server log ?
[05:08] <TUXedomember> no how do i see it?
[05:08] <aidehua> (Specifically, I'm after a mirrored display setup.)
[05:08] <so> TUXedomember, google
[05:09] <devious`> didnt help, still cant boot  :(
[05:09] <timothywcrane> I cant even get my files to play through evolution calender appointment, custom command function, but if I open player, then choose files, all is well. I just can seem to  get them to play in single string such as  totem,xine, mplayer, etc then filename
[05:10] <mmkassem> vsayikiran: did you download the .torrent file then run it by bittorrent ? .. MrPink is suggesting to use Azureus .. I prefer Deluge
[05:10] <aidehua> This question could easily be answered if I can think of the right google search terms :D
[05:10] <hollandlucas> I too prefer Deluge
[05:10] <vsayikiran> MrPink: you said above that Azureus is good torrent client, then you said you also use torrent
[05:10] <devious`> this was the main reason why i left windows for linux, so i would not wake up one day and find out my system wont boot for an unknown reason. Now, few days later, im having the same problem with linux. FFS am i dissapointed!!!!
[05:11] <rico> hey guys, how can I restore my xorg.conf to it's default?
[05:11] <MrPink> yeah I meant that I download torrents and have had good experience with azureus
[05:11] <rico> I modified it a bit (added a modeline), I didn't make a backup.
[05:11] <vsayikiran> mmkassem: yes i downloaded the .torrent file and then from bittorrent package i opened the .torrent file
[05:11] <timothywcrane> I have not used it, but I have heard good things about Azureus also
[05:11] <so> devious`, it's life
[05:11] <devious`> so: than life sux.
[05:11] <MrPink> rico: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg      I think
[05:11] <punzada> deludge is better for ubuntu then running azureus
[05:11] <so> devious`, get more virus under windows, and pay for support, that'"s better ;)
[05:11] <punzada> azureus is a memory whore
[05:11] <so> yes punzada , do you know any better ?
[05:12] <punzada> deludge
[05:12] <so> utorrent is not compatible with linux
[05:12] <devious`> so: no, its not better, but what can i do with system that wont boot? I need to work man, and i cant if it wont start!
[05:12] <LM1> what!
[05:12] <LM1> lol
[05:12] <LM1> utorrent works fine with wine
[05:12] <Kenny3> i need a good website to find most linux software existing
[05:12] <hollandlucas> devious`: what's the problem?
[05:12] <Trixsey> Can I boot gnome in safe mode?
[05:12] <bullgard4> Using Freenode network and Irssi and sending a message to an OP beginning with /msg, will this message use the Direct-Client-to-Client (dcc) protocol?
[05:12] <so> LM1, really ?
[05:12] <punzada> why even bother with utorrent when you can use deludge i don't get it lol
[05:12] <MrPink> punzada you are right about the  memory thing... but I usually only download when not working on my pc
[05:12] <aidehua> Ah: it's called "Xinerama".
[05:12] <rico> mrpink, thank you. :)
[05:12] <LM1> I use azureus only because I don't trust closed source
[05:12] <vsayikiran> is it deludge or deluge
[05:13] <devious`> hollandlucas: i cant boot my linux, and its partition appears RAW. for no appearent reason
[05:13] <Trixsey> I'm using an ATI card but prop. drivers are disabled so my screen is black, can I boot Gnome in safe mode?
[05:13] <LM1> but I know for a fact utorrent works fine using wine
[05:13] <vsayikiran> please dont confuse me, which is the best, some say Azureus, some deluge, and few others utorrent
[05:13] <punzada> it's deluge i'm stupid
[05:13] <punzada> lol
[05:13] <LM1> I also use shareaza emule and winrar perfectly in wine
[05:13] <hollandlucas> devious`: what happens when you power on your computer?
[05:13] <punzada> why use all that software in wine?
[05:13] <punzada> lol
[05:13] <punzada> you can use command line rar
[05:13] <MrPink> rico I hope its right, I had to use it too once.. but that is from memory ^^
[05:13] <timothywcrane> windows does not recognize linux partitions
[05:13] <punzada> and have it be much more efficient
[05:13] <LM1> CLI sux
[05:13] <punzada> ...
[05:13] <rocky> I  cannot enable desktop effects can some one help me plz
[05:13] <LM1> the gui evolved and became dominant for a reason
[05:13] <LM1> :)
[05:13] <sdRhod> does the ubuntu installer offer to format my hdd for me? or do I have to set up the drive and any partitions in advance?
[05:14] <punzada> rar e file.rar directory
[05:14] <rico> mrpink, seems to be doing the right thing.
[05:14] <punzada> you don't even need the last parameter
[05:14] <punzada> wtf is easier then that
[05:14] <punzada> much easier then loading wine
[05:14] <punzada> lol
[05:14] <timothywcrane> try to enter into safe mode, hit escape and enter kernel choices upon reboot
[05:14] <MrPink> sdrhod you have the possibility to manually partition it via installer
[05:14] <sdRhod> ok thanks
[05:14] <jrib> punzada, LM1: you can extract rar files in the gui as well
[05:14] <LM1> sorry I disagree punzada
[05:14] <Shapeshifter> Uhm... so now I set up my messenger, my mail, my vpn and vnc connections, nice costumized compiz-fusion, bootsplash and theme, all drivers working, virtualbox with XP working.... well....what else fun to do now? ;)
[05:14] <LM1> yah I have rar set up for the gui
[05:14] <punzada> yeah but the built in gui is lame for extraction :)
[05:14] <Trixsey> vsayikiran, BT client is a matter of preference.. some find Azureus too extensive.. some run WINE+uTorrent :p
[05:14] <LM1> but I need advanced features it doesn't have so I use winrar
[05:14] <devious`> hollandlucas: it gives me boot menu, from wich i select one of two kubuntu kernels. Then it gives me the loading screen, and after that just a dead blank screen. I can write letters on it, but not commands, after hitting enter it just goes to another row, like a text editor. Than i have to restart, than the whole story again. And when i look at that partition it appears RAW.
[05:14] <so> yeah
[05:15] <Trixsey> vsayikiran, personally I like Azureus =)
[05:15] <MrPink> rico good :)
[05:15] <so> slow p2p
[05:15] <so> ressource whore
[05:15] <Trixsey> vsayikiran, but the repo install of azureus was broken last time I used Ubuntu
[05:15] <hollandlucas> devious`: try pressing ctr+z
[05:15] <LM1> azureus ftw if you have 2gb of ram
[05:15] <bascule> Shapeshifter: break it all by rebuilding and installing a vanilla kernel from kernel.org
[05:15] <hollandlucas> devious`: maybe then you can enter commands
[05:15] <LM1> utorrent is good but its closed source and been bought out by the man
[05:15] <so> i have 1.5 gb
[05:15] <Ghismo> is there anyone from england?
[05:15] <LM1> so...
[05:15] <so> so :)
[05:15] <Shapeshifter> bascule: lol yeah, been there, done that :P
[05:15] <LM1> ktorrent is also a good choice
[05:15] <rocky>  cannot enable desktop effects
[05:15] <MrPink> lol bought out by "the man"
[05:15] <MrPink> thats good ^^
[05:15] <LM1> if you don't mind using kde libs
[05:15] <Hotkey> How come in sound preferences panel I get all sounds when  testing but normal system sounds never occur?
[05:15] <bascule> Shapeshifter: well it's kinda fun ... :)
[05:15] <so> the rich man :)
[05:15] <devious`> hollandlucas: i dont want to enter commands, i want kde to start. I can acces recovery mode from boot menu, but i dont know what to do next
[05:16] <MrPink> yeah I can't enable desktop effects either
[05:16] <vsayikiran> hollandlucas: i have 1gb ram
[05:16] <Shapeshifter> what was the name of that "new" p2p prog again?
[05:16] <MrPink> if anyone is savey on that area, that would be great :-P
[05:16] <hollandlucas> devious`: when you go into recovery mode
[05:16] <so> donate some money so i can buy a dual core E6600
[05:16] <hollandlucas> you can enter command right?
[05:16] <so> :p
[05:16] <Shady^> how do i boot in safe mode?
[05:16] <so> f2
[05:16] <Shapeshifter> Shady^: in grub select recovery mode
[05:16] <MrPink> Shady it should be listed in the grub menu... if not you have to edit your grub.list  I think
[05:16] <rocky> I have a ati mobility radeom 7500 card
[05:16] <devious`> hollandlucas: yes?
[05:17] <hollandlucas> try startx
[05:17] <humbolto> what do I need to do to make googleearth work well on compiz-fusion AIGLX nvidia?
[05:17] <rocky> do i need to update it? so i cant enable my desktop effects
[05:17] <vsayikiran> apt-get install Azureus is not working
[05:17] <devious`> hollandlucas: any other idea so i dont have to start windows again
[05:17] <so> what is the package name for fs3G ?
[05:17] <hollandlucas> devious`: what happens when you go into recovery mode and type startx?
[05:18] <devious`> ill be back in a minute, have to try it
[05:18] <devious`> hollandlucas: ^^
[05:18] <Ghismo> i guys i'm looking for something like sopcast for ubuntu
[05:18] <selinuxium_> Hi guys, where would I find my keymap? trying to install a keylogger on my home system, my brother is starting to become a pain!
[05:18] <Ghismo> could anyone give me a trick
[05:18] <so> no :)
[05:19] <bascule> Ghismo: apt-cache search sopcast
[05:19] <MrPink> vsayikiran  try to search for it in Synaptic Manager
[05:19] <Shady^> MrPink thanks! But i've installed unbuntu to my hard drive, the only way to get into the grub meny is if i start with the cd
[05:19] <so> selinuxium_, install a trojan, that's better
[05:19] <xcst> how can i make mplayer my default player instead of totem?
[05:19] <timothywcrane> go into preferred applications set defaults
[05:19] <rocky> is there a way to call ubuntu for serive?
[05:20] <Hotkey> Help please -  How come in sound preferences panel I get all sounds when  testing but normal system sounds never occur?
[05:20] <MrPink> Shady ehm... I donno if I know what you mean... but you don't have a list of kernels to boot from or windows partition or something when you boot? So no bootscreen ?
[05:20] <JEFFmasterFlex> xcst:  right click on the file and click on prperties, i think the right most tab lets you picj the default for that file type
[05:20] <JEFFmasterFlex> pick*
[05:20] <frojnd> hello there
[05:20] <frojnd> Where in open office can I change language...
[05:20] <kane77> what are the names of the packages for codecs?
[05:20] <kittyhawk> bascule: I found a bug report that suggested changing the depth to 16, which worked.  Thanks for your help though
[05:20] <frojnd> I mean that menus are in my language?
[05:20] <hollandlucas> frojnd: you mean for the spellchecker?
[05:20] <hollandlucas> oh
[05:20] <hollandlucas> just change your system language
[05:20] <selinuxium_> Ghismo: sopcast has a linux version
[05:20] <frojnd> hollandlucas: menus and so..
[05:21] <bascule> kittyhawk: welcome, thanks for the info
[05:21] <xcst> JEFFmasterFlex, thanks
[05:21] <frojnd> hollandlucas: and I can change this under system settings?
[05:21] <Ghismo> u're right
[05:21] <vsayikiran> MrPink: there are two packages which one to install , azureus, or azureus-gcj
[05:21] <mmkassem> rocky: did you try restoring your xorg.conf ?
[05:21] <Shady^> MrPink i only see the grub meny when i start with the ubuntu cd, i've installed it to my HDD, and when i start without the cd the screen goes black!
[05:21] <Ghismo> i've just found it
[05:21] <Ghismo> thank you
[05:21] <hollandlucas> frojnd: there's n item called language support or something like that
[05:21] <devious`> hollandlucas: it said: Server error: no screens found
[05:22] <hollandlucas> devious`: okay, let me think
[05:22] <devious`> hollandlucas: does this happen often with linux?
[05:22] <hollandlucas> devious`: pastebin your xorg.conf
[05:22] <hollandlucas> devious`: no
[05:22] <MrPink> vsayikiran my guess is "azreus" but isn't there a descriptive text underneith ?
[05:22] <rocky> I dont think I did
[05:22] <devious`> hollandlucas: what you mean with my xorg.conf?
[05:22] <hollandlucas> devious`: xorg.conf is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:22] <MrPink> Shady^  I see.. sorry then, I am relatively new to linux myself
[05:23] <Shady^> MrPink thanks anyway :D
[05:23] <JEFFmasterFlex> vsayikiran: if you have Sun Java installed then you install the regular azureus package. If not, install the gcj package
[05:23] <david003> hello. i have a game taht is launched by doubleclicking on the program. how do i set it up that it starts if i tipe in a shell "nameofthegame"?
[05:23] <hollandlucas> devious`: it's file that configures your xserver, the piece of software responsible for displaying things on the screen
[05:23] <MrPink> Shady^ sure ;)
[05:23] <hollandlucas> you can read the contents with: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:23] <devious`> hollandlucas: hmm, i cant acces anything in my linux partition, how am i supposed to get that file?
[05:23] <hollandlucas> devious`: oh
[05:23] <hollandlucas> try cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:23] <hollandlucas> what does it tell you
[05:23] <vsayikiran> JEFFmasterFlex: how can i know whether i have sun java installed or not?
[05:24] <devious`> hollandlucas: its the same computer so i have to restart to boot from linux :(
[05:24] <so> my hd is not detected has master, and it dont work as a master, when put in master it's it a 32 gb, when there is no jumper, it's detected correctly as a 120 gb hd. how come ?
[05:24] <so> i have 2 SATA of 500 gb
[05:24] <bascule> devious`: if you try to mount the /  partition from recovery, what does it say?
[05:24] <MrPink> Trixsey I can't do PMs I am not registered to the nameserver thingy
[05:24] <Kenny3> who knows good color picker and screen ruler?
[05:24] <JEFFmasterFlex> vsayikiran:  just install it. in synaptic search for Sun Java. There is java 5 and java 6 in the repos
[05:24] <MrPink> Kenny3 for firefox or for the desktop ?
[05:24] <rico> how do I connect via Wifi via the console?
[05:24] <JEFFmasterFlex> you can also install if from Add/Remove if I remember correctly
[05:25] <david003> hello. i have a game taht is launched by doubleclicking on the program. how do i set it up that it starts if i tipe in a shell "nameofthegame"?
[05:25] <Trixsey> MrPink, oh ok.. could you read what I sent ya? :p
[05:25] <bascule> rico: man iwconfig
[05:25] <labanux> how can I access SSH through proxy? yes, i can do it with Putty, buat can i do it directly using terminal?
[05:25] <hollandlucas> david003: find out where the game binary is
[05:25] <bascule> labanux: ssh supports proxy
[05:25] <Kenny3> MrPink desktop
[05:25] <devious`> bascule: windows as linux is on same computer, so i cant just try the command. i have to restart computer than try than load windows again. Thats kinda slow. Is there any virtual machine software i could use?
[05:25] <hollandlucas> and make sure the directory the game binary is in is in your PATH
[05:25] <Trixsey> labanux, ssh -X user@server?
[05:25] <david003> hollandlucas: i know where it is, usr/local/games/openarena
[05:26] <alejonet> Hola a todos...
[05:26] <MrPink> yeah and it sounds like the same problem Shady^ has... and I wasn't sure how to help him either
[05:26] <labanux> bascule: could you give example how to do that?
[05:26] <hollandlucas> and when you type openarena on the shell
[05:26] <vsayikiran> JEFFmasterFlex: there are two packages sunjava5bin and sun-java6bin smth.
[05:26] <alejonet> desde COlombia tengo una pregunta
[05:26] <hollandlucas> david003: it tells you command not found?
[05:26] <bascule> devious`: to access a broken local linux partition, hmmm really not sure :(
[05:26] <labanux> Trixsey: i'll try it
[05:26] <alejonet> necesito los drivers para MSI
[05:26] <david003> yep
[05:26] <MrPink> Kenny3 then no, sry only have those as addons in firefox ;)
[05:26] <david003> hollandlucas: yes
[05:26] <JEFFmasterFlex> vsayikiran:  you can install either. either of them will work. go with java6.. it's the newest one
[05:26] <david003> hollandlucas: it isnt under bin
[05:26] <NielsE> I have found this great replacement for katapult in gnome, called gnome-launch-box, where can I set a shortcut for this program in gnome?
[05:26] <hollandlucas> david003: the problem is that /usr/local/games is not on your PATH
[05:26] <Trixsey> labanux, that's with X, if you dont want a graphical interface then you can skip the -X parameter
[05:27] <vsayikiran> JEFFmasterFlex: after installing sun java 6 i can install azureus
[05:27] <david003> hollandlucas: dont really knwo what that means...how do i fix it?
[05:27] <gokhan_> i'm going to install easycam2 for my internal webcam on my Toshiba laptop but synaptic also wants to install some additional packages like gcc 3.1 and gcc 3.1base but i already have gcc 4.1 so might installing it affect my system?
[05:27] <timothywcrane> found my problem. GUI not affected by space found in filename, but CLI sensitive to it. Removed space, all is well
[05:27] <alejonet> SOMEBODY CAN GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT MSI DRIVERS????
[05:27] <draco2002> Anyone know where you can download the "Ubuntu JeOS" version?
[05:27] <JEFFmasterFlex> vsayikiran: yes
[05:27] <Shady^> Trixsey din sta fan
[05:27] <ardit> can anyone do me shippin of Ubuntu cos i have really slow internet coonection an takes me weeeeks to download it??
[05:27] <Trixsey> hahaha
[05:27] <david003> hollandlucas: dont i need to create a shortcut under /usr/bin or something?
[05:27] <vsayikiran> JEFFmasterFlex: thanks
[05:27] <labanux> Trixsey: then how can I set the proxy?
[05:27] <devious`> hollandlucas: i have managed to open the xorg.cfg file, what to do now?
[05:28] <hollandlucas> david003: The PATH is a variable that contains a set of directores. When you type in a command at the shell, the shell searches everything in your path (all directories in there that is) for the binary you wanted to open (by typing its name)
[05:28] <MrPink> devious: copy and paste it to www.pastebin.com and send the link in here
[05:28] <Trixsey> labanux, if an SSH proxy works like a HTTP proxy you should just refer to your proxy as the server and it should pass the data to the target server
[05:29] <hollandlucas> david003: you don't. You have to add the directory to your PATH
[05:29] <AutoMatriX_> Hi folks, does anybody know how to access a Mio C210 Gps with Feisty ?
[05:29] <Condoulo> ok, I have a question. I installed Gnash player through Synaptic, but how would I get Firefox to use it?
[05:29] <hollandlucas> david003: like this: open ~/.bashrc
[05:29] <hollandlucas> in a text editor
[05:29] <devious`> hollandlucas: http://pastebin.com/m1e1688c0
[05:29] <david003> hollandlucas: i actually solved the problem by adding the shortcut
[05:29] <oliver_g_> hi
[05:29] <david003> hollandlucas: thanks for helping me
[05:29] <devious`> hollandlucas: maybe line 88, 89?
[05:29] <hollandlucas> david003: you added a shortcut to it in a directory that's in the path ;-)
[05:29] <ardit> can anyone do me shippin of Ubuntu cos i have really slow internet coonection an takes me weeeeks to download it??
[05:30] <hollandlucas> devious`: so you CAN access files on your linux partition
[05:30] <david003> hollandlucas: sorry, could you repeat?
[05:30] <devious`> ardit: where you at?
[05:30] <hollandlucas> david003: You added a link to the game binary in a directory that is on your path ;-)
[05:30] <devious`> hollandlucas: yes, it appears now i can access it, from Windows!
[05:30] <so> no :)
[05:30] <labanux> Trixsey: i mean, my network was behind a http proxy server, then i want to access my web hosting SSH server. Can I do this using terminal? I only can do this using Putty right now.. :(
[05:30] <ardit> albania
[05:30] <Condoulo> Who here can inform me on how to get Firefox to use Gnash player instead of Adobe flash player?
[05:30] <devious`> hollandlucas: i cant explain how or why
[05:30] <MrPink> ardit: I think you can have it shipped to you from the Ubuntu page if I am not mistaken... but that takes like 3-4 weeks or so
[05:30] <oliver_g_> i have installed ssh server on Gutsy live cd but can't log in - can you tell me what's the password for the "ubuntu" user?
[05:30] <david003> hollandlucas: exactly. and it works. is it okay like that or is it dangerous?
[05:30] <hollandlucas> it's okay I'd say
[05:30] <hollandlucas> not dangerous
[05:31] <hollandlucas> I'd have done it differently
[05:31] <david003> great
[05:31] <hollandlucas> but as long as it works ;-)
[05:31] <hollandlucas> if it ain't broke...
[05:31] <so> how do you install a security camera software under ubuntu ?
[05:31] <labanux> Trixsey: should I do something like: ssh -proxy host:8080 user@host ?
[05:31] <david003> the thing is taht like this if i need to remove the game i dont need to edit anything...
[05:31] <david003> i just delete the folder and shortcut
[05:31] <MrPink> ok, hope I could help out some of you, gotta go... ciao!
[05:31] <DIL> so: Zoneminder is good
[05:31] <HELP09> I am getting NTLDR is missing error
[05:31] <HELP09> I dual booted with GNOME and XP
[05:31] <hollandlucas> david003: if you'd done it by adding it to the path you would have ended up deleting the game and removing it from the PATH
[05:31] <so> DIL,  does it work correctly now ?
[05:31] <HELP09> and then I tried formatting ext3 on windows
[05:32] <JEFFmasterFlex> HELP09:  did you install XP after ubuntu?
[05:32] <ardit> 3-4 weeks!! long
[05:32] <HELP09> No
[05:32] <Trixsey> labanux, you could try.. I haven't used SSH with proxy to be honest
[05:32] <david003> harder to remember.....
[05:32] <HELP09> I had xp before
[05:32] <HELP09> I dualed ubuntu
[05:32] <Trixsey> labanux, shoud be easy enough to find out how to use it with the help command :p
[05:32] <ardit> by that time i could probably download it
[05:32] <david003> hollandlucas: thanks for everything. where is the PATH file?
[05:32] <Ahadiel> labanux, ssh -D 9090<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:32] <hollandlucas> david003: PATH is not a file
[05:32] <Ahadiel> labanux, you can change the port to w/e you want
[05:32] <HELP09> Guys
[05:32] <HELP09> Why did my XP stop working
[05:32] <hollandlucas> david003: It's an environment variable
[05:32] <HELP09> When I formatted Linux_Ext3
[05:33] <gokhan_> i'm going to install easycam2 for my internal webcam on my Toshiba laptop but synaptic also wants to install some additional packages like gcc 3.1 and gcc 3.1base but i already have gcc 4.1 so might installing it affect my system?
[05:33] <david003> hollandlucas: where can i find it, for futhure use?
[05:33] <ardit> i thought i could be in somethin like 3-4 workin days
[05:33] <labanux> Ahadiel: wait a minute.., i'll try it..
[05:33] <HELP09> with paragon partition manager
[05:33] <hollandlucas> david003: you can manipulate it by doing the following:
[05:33] <Ahadiel> labanux, then you change your socks5 proxy settings to localhost, and the port you chose
[05:33] <hollandlucas> david003: open ~/.bashrc in a text editor
[05:33] <devious`> hollandlucas: can you take a look plz: http://pastebin.com/m1e1688c0
[05:33] <hollandlucas> devious`: in a sec
[05:33] <Kenny3> who know a screen ruler?
[05:33] <david003> hollandlucas: done, next?
[05:33] <HELP09> God, they said that people help here.
[05:33] <ir6> Hi, what's X shared memory extension ?
[05:33] <oliver_g_> Kenny3: try kruler (it's a KDE app but should work under Gnome as well)
[05:34] <hollandlucas> david003: append: PATH=$PATH:/path/you/want/to/add     and on a new line export PATH
[05:34] <hollandlucas> ~ is your home directory
[05:34] <hollandlucas> re-open your shell
[05:34] <hollandlucas> and it should've picked up the changes
[05:34] <DIL> Help: how may drives did you have
[05:34] <labanux> Ahadiel: is that mean that I must make a connection to user@host using port 9090 as a Socks proxy?
[05:34] <david003> just at the bottom?
[05:34] <devious`> HELP09: ppl do help here, but if you are patient
[05:34] <DIL> Help: how may drives did you have
[05:34] <ManaPirat> hi guys :-)
[05:34] <HELP09> Yeah but =/
[05:34] <david003> hollandlucas: just at the bottom?
[05:34] <DIL> Help09: how may drives did you have
[05:34] <labanux> Ahadiel: but i can't access anywhere and any port without using my network proxy.. :(
[05:35] <hollandlucas> david003: yes
[05:35] <Ahadiel> labanux, your host would be localhost, and your port would be 9090
[05:35] <david003> great
[05:35] <Ahadiel> labanux, I don't really understand D:
[05:35] <david003> hollandlucas: and do i repeat export path everitime or i just add paths over that?
[05:35] <DIL> Help09: how may drives did you have? did you format the entire drive?
[05:35] <hollandlucas> you just add paths over that
[05:35] <hollandlucas> you need the export PATH only ONCE at the end of the file
[05:35] <Kenny3> oliver_g_ : i try, thanks
[05:36] <oliver_g_> ir6: do you mean this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT-SHM
[05:36] <hollandlucas> devious`: I thought your problem was solved?
[05:36] <david003> hollandlucas: perfect, now i need to play a bit. thanks for all
[05:36] <oliver_g_> ir6: that's the more technical explanation, tough :-)
[05:36] <hollandlucas> david003: no problem
[05:36] <ManaPirat> Does somebody know the status of h.264  hardware accelerated decoding for Linux? (an ATI / NVIDIA subject maybe)
[05:36] <devious`> hollandlucas: no, it wasnt solved. :(
[05:36] <labanux> Ahadiel: If I can acces the port 9090 to user@host it means I've already able to connect to my SSH sever.. Meanwhile my problem is I can't access the SSH server..
[05:36] <hollandlucas> devious`: okay so you CAN access files on your linux partition?
[05:36] <hollandlucas> devious`: because you accessed xorg.conf
[05:37] <Ahadiel> labanux, Okay, well I dunno if you can't access your ssh server to begin with.
[05:37] <hollandlucas> devious`: your xorg.conf looks okay to me (but I'm no expert)
[05:37] <devious`> hollandlucas: yes, but i accessed it from Windows XP, i still cant load linux
[05:37] <Kenny3> whats a good software developing program?
[05:37] <hollandlucas> devious`: but you can access everything in recovery mode?
[05:37] <devious`> hollandlucas: look at lines 88 and 89
[05:37] <hollandlucas> devious`: looks like a problem with your xserver
[05:38] <hollandlucas> devious`: yeah?
[05:38] <devious`> hollandlucas: do you have thoose lines, can i delete them, i think they were added
[05:38] <hollandlucas> devious`: you're running compiz/beryl/compiz fusion?
[05:38] <devious`> well, i did try, but couldnt get it working
[05:38] <ouarza> rebonjour
[05:39] <devious`> hollandlucas: i added thoose lines manually cuz i followed the tutorial
[05:39] <hollandlucas> devious`: then remove or comment them (you comment them by adding a # to the beginning of the lines, thus having them ignored)
[05:39] <hollandlucas> devious`: and try if linux works
[05:39] <hollandlucas> devious`: if not, type startx again in recovery mode and tell me the error message
[05:39] <devious`> hollandlucas: ok, i will do that, be back soon
[05:40] <bascule> labanux: you have to add some stuff I liile understand to ~/.ssh/config
[05:40] <Martiini> how do I direct console output to a text file?
[05:40] <ksivaji> how to recover my root password
[05:41] <labanux> Ahadiel: yes.., I can't access my SSh server if I not using proxy. That's why i can connect to my SSh server using Putty, cause Putty provide configuration for proxy
[05:41] <bascule> labanux: corkscrew seems to be a helpful something
[05:41] <ksivaji> i forgot me root password
[05:41] <ksivaji> i forgot my* root password
[05:41] <labanux> bascule: corkscrew??
[05:41] <bascule> sudo su, shange it
[05:41] <FatMom> anyone got the vsync working with fglrx?
[05:41] <jrib> ksivaji: did you ever set one?
[05:41] <bascule> labanux: apt-get install corkscrew, if I understand the problem that is(?)
[05:42] <FatMom> I tried aticonfig --vs on     but it didnt work
[05:42] <ksivaji>  jrib yes
[05:42] <bascule> !info corkscrew
[05:42] <ubotu> corkscrew: tunnel TCP connections through HTTP proxies. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0-5 (feisty), package size 9 kB, installed size 72 kB
[05:43] <jrib> ksivaji: you realize it is unnecessary?

[05:45] <HELP09> Who knows how to fix the NTLDR is missing error?
[05:45] <Kenny3> there r the source of emule scarangel mod avalable, does this mean i can install/compile it on linux with this?
[05:45] <_0xf> all i need when installing ubuntu   is    /boot  2GB   / 59GB  swap 4gb
[05:45] <_0xf> right?
[05:45] <drgeb> how do I look for all files that have an execution permission ?  I know its something like find . -perm xxx I don't yet understand the permission codes
[05:45] <bascule> HELP09: there is a boot cd to fix that
[05:46] <HELP09> I dont have one :(
[05:46] <JEFFmasterFlex> _0xf: actually all you need is / and swap
[05:46] <HELP09> I never got a winxp cd with my pc
[05:46] <HELP09> Or you mean you can download one from somewhere?
[05:46] <Jimmey> How can I set the default NIC on Ubuntu 7.04? When I change my WLAN card from Roaming mode to static IP, I loose the internet connection - I think it's because one of the eth cards is getting priority.
[05:47] <bascule> HELP09: http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm

[05:48] <kane77> how do I get diff of two strings?

[05:48] <_0xf> JEFFmasterFlex ; i wanna encrypt the rest of the harddisk with true crypt and u cant encrypt the harddisk u boot from thats why im making the /boot
[05:48] <JEFFmasterFlex> muck*
[05:48] <FatMom> anyone got the vsync working with fglrx?
[05:49] <JEFFmasterFlex> _0xf:  then make a /boot . in that case you only need /boot, /, and swap
[05:49] <bascule> kane77: python makes that easy
[05:49] <ferentix> In fact, CompizConfig Settings Manager doesn't even have a "turn Compiz on" type option
[05:49] <_0xf> ok ty

[05:51] <JEFFmasterFlex> HELP09:  looks like you are going to need to download an XP install disc
[05:51] <jroes> Jimmey: I'm pretty sure mine does.  I had an option to boot from "USB Memory"
[05:51] <ChildX> where is the default wallapaper of Ubuntu located (in which directory)??

[05:51] <HELP09> I have this one, it works for 30 days then uninstalls
[05:52] <JEFFmasterFlex> _0xf:  format the partition first, then you can type the partition name of /
[05:53] <_0xf> wont let me format
[05:53] <_0xf> when i select it it just says new
[05:53] <oliver_g_> jroes: what type of motherboard do you use?
[05:53] <_0xf> i can only make a new one

[05:53] <Rizzla> I've tried it a couple times, but kept getting errors
[05:53] <HELP09> I cant download that? because there's only md5 hashes
[05:53] <jroes> kane77: Technically, a string can have newlines, are you comparing things on the same line?

[05:54] <Rizzla> one thing i'm completely cluesless on is how to install an app in ubuntu that I download
[05:55] <quittt> does anybody know how do I put the same plugins from Firefox on the Opera browser?
[05:55] <Rizzla> i dont have automatix installed
[05:55] <Rizzla> should i use synaptic to get automatix?
[05:55] <fermatstheorem> dhruv, Rizzla : automatix is a bad idea
[05:55] <dhruv> u need to synaptic or automatix
[05:55] <dhruv> i prefer automatix
[05:55] <so> i have a problem, my ntfs partitions are not seen in filesystem. they are mounted in fstab however i think there is an error
[05:55] <dhruv> i think automatix is easier
[05:56] <fermatstheorem> dhruv,Rizzla :it aint supported by ubuntu, it can kick your system in the family jewels
[05:56] <HELP09> Automatix is bad
[05:56] <HELP09> It crashed me once
[05:56] <quittt> how do I do it?
[05:56] <Rizzla> ok, i'll try and use synaptic again to download thunderbird.  THe main issues I have is when i use the ctrl+f2  then type thunderbird -ProfileManger
[05:56] <HELP09> just use ./configure
[05:56] <dhruv> yeah thats true
[05:56] <AJ--> hi guys.. is there a program for linux like CAMTASIA that can record a desktop
[05:56] <dhruv> aj use recordmydeskyop
[05:56] <Mr-Nilsen> how do i use samba to connect to a win xp comp ?
[05:56] <dhruv> gtk-recordmydesktop
[05:57] <AJ--> ahh ok tnx
[05:57] <dhruv> i think thunderbird is in synaptic too
[05:57] <Rizzla> alright, right now my synaptic is tied up because i'm installing myth (taking awhile)
[05:57] <dhruv> which acount are u looking to configure
[05:57] <Rizzla> dhruv, it is, i've installed it from there a couple times.  I'm just having a problem using my old profile that had all my emails from my windows partition
[05:57] <dhruv> u cant use automatix and synaptic simulaneously either
[05:58] <nox-Hand> If I want to install      * ffmpeg  0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu4+medibuntu2 but a newer one is in apt fmo archives.ubuntu.com
[05:58] <Rizzla> dhruv, would you be able to step me through the process of downloading thunderbird from mozilla's site and installing it?
[05:58] <nox-Hand> How do I make it install that version? The olde3r one
[05:58] <Rizzla> i tried it once, but i didnt knowhow to install it properly
[05:58] <dhruv> ok will do
[05:58] <RobDaGlob>  /join ##C
[05:58] <RobDaGlob> lol
[05:58] <oliver_g_> jroes: booting from usb stick can be tricky on some hardware
[05:58] <dhruv> dont need to go the mozilla site , synaptic shud be enuf
[05:59] <kane77> Rizzla, why don't you download thunderbird from apt-get?
[05:59] <jroes> oliver_g_: I wish there was a way to see some output so I even had some sort of error to reference
[05:59] <Rizzla> ok, but its kind of for personal knowledge. I love synaptic because its easy, but I have no clue to how install stuff in ubuntu without it.  I dont like being tied to it exclusively to install stuff
[05:59] <oliver_g_> jroes: i needed to create a small boot partition on my 512 mb stick because the bios wouldn't boot otherwise
[05:59] <jroes> oliver_g_: how did you figure that out?
[05:59] <oliver_g_> jroes: do you get any output at all?
[05:59] <_0xf> Im trying to make partition and its not letting me it says no root file system.   but i have / with 66GB
[05:59] <jroes> not at all
[05:59] <jroes> it just immediately skips into windows
[05:59] <oliver_g_> hmm
[05:59] <dhruv> ah the rizzla i may not be that helul
[05:59] <jroes> I was thinking of disabling everything
[05:59] <Mr-Nilsen> could any one pm me for some tips on how to use samba  ?
[05:59] <jroes> except usb
[05:59] <dhruv> *helpful
[06:00] <HELP09> Im so mad atm
[06:00] <jroes> just to see if it flew by the screen fast
[06:00] <HELP09> I need to format everything
[06:00] <dhruv> i'm the easiest way out guy
[06:00] <oliver_g_> jroes: for troubleshooting, set boot sequence so that usb is tried first, then cdrom, then hdd
[06:00] <Rizzla> its cool, well i'll try it through apt-get, because synaptic is currently tied up with mythtv download
[06:00] <oliver_g_> jroes: ... and then put a boot cd in drive
[06:00] <HealthyElijah> i need help installing flash in opera
[06:00] <_0xf> what the hell. i have / for 66GB
[06:00] <_0xf> why it saying no root file system
[06:00] <Theyain> I removed (by shear stupidity) my system tray.  How do I restor it?
[06:00] <oliver_g_> jroes: so you don't have to wait for windows boot all the time :-)
[06:00] <jroes> oliver_g_: that's what I have right now actually
[06:01] <dhruv> i'm going out for dinner, shud be back in an hour, wudtry to help u then
