[06:41] <jrib> wizo: I think it will just overwrite the files that you already have so it should work
[06:41] <wizo> ah good point there
[06:41] <dreamer> hmm, where is the trash-bin in kde ?
[06:41] <wizo> thanks for that idea
[06:41] <kudzubane> jbroome: well, load on this machine running other distro is around 0.00 almost all the time, under ubuntu, it is around 0.60-0.80 most of the time
[06:41] <Randakar> David777: So you make a linux account for the other users
[06:41] <jbroome> kudzubane: that's not that high
[06:41] <puffy-san> anyone here who is running peercast on their linux? I'm trying to get my channel working and I wonder would there be someone willing to test the channel?
[06:42] <wizo> so to remove it.. how would i know what the app name i should type in for?
[06:42] <lumpki> dreamer,  trash:/
[06:42] <kudzubane> jbroome: it is when compared to the other distro, and since this is happening all the time, it is probably affecting overall performance to a measurable degree
[06:42] <cmt^^> hey Randakar
[06:42] <Randakar> kudzubane: maybe you should compare top output on those 2 systems, see what the 'big' consumer is
[06:42] <David777> Randakar: There is only one user: root
[06:42] <cmt^^> progress indeed
[06:43] <DeathWolf> what can cause a /bin/bash permission denied when both / /bin and /bin/bash have 755?.
[06:43] <Randakar> David777: So? Just add a user for the share you want to share. It's not much different from smbpasswd, except that you also let linux know that user exists.
[06:43] <cmt^^> Randakar - X started this time, but it seems I had messed up my keyboard settings, given that I couldn't type anything in the textbox for my username
[06:43] <kudzubane> Randakar: the strange thing is, cpu and memory usage appears to behave similarly
[06:43] <cmt^^> Randakar - but when I do 'glxinfo' I get a whole lot more information than I used to
[06:43] <Randakar> cmt^^: but you're using the correct driver now?
[06:43] <rindolf> Hi all.
[06:43] <puffy-san> anybody?
[06:43] <rindolf> I'm trying to debug the kernel using UML and gdb. But then the switch_threads() gets invoked in the middle and I can no longer debug. What should I do to fix it?
[06:43] <kudzubane> Randakar: but load is significantly higher
[06:43] <dreamer> thnx lumpki
[06:44] <rindolf> puffy-san: what is your problem?
[06:44] <David777> Randakar: I don't want to add users.  There are not users.  It's a headless embedded system.  Jeepers.  No one's ever going to log into this thing except to do administrative stuff.
[06:44] <Randakar> David777: if you use smbpasswd you are *also* adding users.
[06:44] <cmt^^> Randakar - I don't know really.. there's a lot of info on the glx-system in glxinfo, but the same annoying line..
[06:44] <jbroome> David777: just add the users and change their shell to /bin/false.
[06:44] <puffy-san> rindolf: trying to get a peercast channel working but have to have someone who would test does it work...
[06:44] <David777> Randakar: If I use smbpasswd, the password for samba can be different than the one for login.
[06:44] <Randakar> cmt^^: which one?
[06:45] <cmt^^> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[06:45] <puffy-san> rindolf: if you are interested, peercast.org and I'll try to guide you to my channel ;)
[06:45] <cmt^^> at the top
[06:45] <cmt^^> but then a whole lot of info, and it seems to me it's not stating anything going wrong
[06:45] <rindolf> puffy-san: what software do I need?
[06:45] <cmt^^> just info, straight up
[06:45] <Randakar> David777: Yes, but every time I've tried that on any linux distro it just breaks samba
[06:45] <puffy-san> rindolf: you need peercast (peercast.org), you don't need to do a install cause it comes in a binary for linux
[06:45] <David777> Randakar: I've been using Samba since 2002 with smbpasswd and never had a problem.
[06:45] <compengi> jrib, if i will do sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash and select no will it effect other applications
[06:46] <rindolf> puffy-san: OK.
[06:46] <David777> Randakar: ...not once
[06:46] <Randakar> David777: *shrug* YMMV I guess
[06:46] <jrib> compengi: dash is default for /bin/sh on edgy
[06:46] <David777> Randakar: At least I have a sane smb.conf from a SUSE installation I can use.
[06:47] <cmt^^> Randakar - I get that same error when running glxdemo and / or glxgears
[06:47] <Randakar> cmt^^: what does fglrxinfo say?
[06:47] <cmt^^> it runs, but barely
[06:47] <compengi> jrib, so it won't make any difference?
[06:47] <jrib> compengi: no, why are you running that?
[06:47] <rindolf> puffy-san: OK, I have the peercast client. Now how do I connect to you?
[06:47] <cmt^^> Randakar - same as before :<
[06:47] <cmt^^> let me pastebin it
[06:47] <Kitch> Hello
[06:47] <compengi> jrib, cause for running limewire i should do it
[06:48] <Kitch> im a n00b and need help lol
[06:48] <puffy-san> rindolf: http://localhost:7144 - from there go into the yellow pages (link) and search for a channel named 'streamfi'
[06:48] <nny> hey all.. anyone here have experience with Edgy and installing nvagp instead of agpgart?
[06:48] <cmt^^> Randakar - http://pastebin.se/4796
[06:48] <lumpki> cmt^^ to diagnose your X problems, check into the X log file
[06:48] <jrib> compengi: no, limewire shouldn't have #1/bin/sh  if it isn't POSIX compliant.  Which it appears not to be.  It should say #!/bin/bash instead
[06:48] <Raven> how to setup samba to connect to xp machine
[06:48] <LacunaV> Is it possible to get gnome-volume-manager to not mount specific partitions on a usbdisk? I get 4 disks up on my desktop, but only use one of them
[06:49] <narma> hello, I use Ubuntu 6.10. Ihave subversion 1.3.1 but I have to use 1.4.2. how can I do ?
[06:49] <Randakar> cmt^^: try adding

[06:49] <Kitch> i need help to install nvidia driver :D LoL i get a kernal error..and well like i say im a n00b..
[06:49] <lakbu> hi. i would like to install a usb hub, what brand can you suggest? that's ubuntu-friendly?
[06:49] <Randakar> cmt^^: to xorg.conf
[06:49] <rindolf> puffy-san: http://yp.peercast.org/?find=streamfi&Submit=Search&host=<IP_ADDRESS>%3A7144&status=online ?
[06:49] <Raven> I use D-Link, their ok.
[06:49] <compengi> jrib, that's why i should do that command so that i will run
[06:49] <puffy-san> rindolf: yeah that is the correct one
[06:49] <David777> Anyone know where USB thumb drives get mounted?
[06:49] <rindolf> puffy-san: OK.
[06:49] <HumanPrototype> lakbu, afaik they are universally supported as they work on a hardware level - somebody correct me if im wrong here please
[06:50] <compengi> it*
[06:50] <jrib> compengi: what command?
[06:50] <HumanPrototype> David777, /media/usbdisk i think
[06:50] <puffy-san> rindolf: now download the m3u file from the play link and then try to play it in some audio playing app (I use xmms)
[06:50] <David777> Not showing up
[06:50] <compengi> jrib, sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
[06:50] <lakbu> Raven, HumanPrototype, does the USB ports in the hub will be seen as *many* ports in the ubuntu box?
[06:50] <Randakar> cmt^^: if that doesn't work, there's a guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl
[06:50] <Raven> where to get info to setup samba for network connection to xp machine
[06:50] <HumanPrototype> lakbu, i think it would yes
[06:50] <Randakar> !nvidia | kitch
[06:50] <ubotu> kitch: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:50] <cmt^^> Randakar - I already did that
[06:51] <cmt^^> it says in the previous guide
[06:51] <cmt^^> to add Composite "0"
[06:51] <Randakar> cmt^^: ah, ok
[06:51] <jrib> compengi: I don't think it will work.  Can you explain what exactly the problem is?  What error are you getting and with what command?
[06:51] <Kitch> ty, but... wht do i do about my kernal error?
[06:51] <David777> Crud, gotta mount it by hand, gets picked up as sda
[06:51] <Kitch> or is it in there?
[06:51] <cmt^^> Randakar - I get this from the x-server log
[06:51] <Randakar> cmt^^: hrm, tricky
[06:51] <Kitch> and i did look b4 i came here :P
[06:51] <cmt^^> "(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found"
[06:51] <rindolf> puffy-san: I don't see where it is.
[06:51] <lakbu> HumanPrototype, aahh. thanks. so each port in the hub will have a corresponding entry in the /dev/ ?
[06:51] <HumanPrototype> David777, it should get picked up as sd something as thats how usb drives work
[06:51] <HumanPrototype> lakbu, i would think so yes
[06:51] <puffy-san> rindolf: where what is?
[06:51] <compengi> jrib, i read the post and found this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278134&highlight=limewire
[06:51] <David777> ok, that worked
[06:51] <Raven> does flash work in Ubuntu x64
[06:51] <David777> Gah
[06:51] <rindolf> puffy-san: where is the .m3u.
[06:52] <wizo> hrm, i tried checkinstall but it said that command not found
[06:52] <SpaceBass> ARRRUUGGGG
[06:52] <wizo> am i missing a package?
[06:52] <cmt^^> Randakar - which is very strange, since I told the configuration program the adress was 1.0.0
[06:52] <cmt^^> not 1.0.1
[06:52] <SpaceBass> well...ubuntu and grub just dont like me
[06:52] <puffy-san> rindolf: humm well it might be on your desktop or at your home directory... depending on where you downloaded it...
[06:52] <rubix_> is filesharing discussion allowed in this channel for the purpose of finding a good prog
[06:52] <kudzubane> Raven: probably not
[06:52] <HumanPrototype> David777, try adding a line in fstab for it and if you are using gnome try checking in System.>Preferences >Removable Drives and Media
[06:52] <rindolf> puffy-san: OK.
[06:52] <David777> Ah farg it
[06:52] <lumpki> wizo, install checkinstall =)
[06:52] <Randakar> cmt^^: Change it in xorg.conf then
[06:52] <Raven> is it worth upgrading to Ubuntu x64
[06:52] <norman_> some with aMSN, I have a webcam quickcam express, it works but in aMSN is missing webcam wizzard
[06:52] <David777> HumanPrototype: I am running an embedded server.  No X.  Only a console.
[06:52] <norman_> installed from synaptic
[06:53] <DeathWolf> sudo -u user1 /bin/bash => sudo: unable to execute /bin/bash: Permission denied, but / and /bin and /bin/bash are all 755, what could cause that
[06:53] <Randakar> cmt^^: at any rate, I have to go now (go home, actually) so I'm going to wish you good luck
[06:53] <LacunaV> Is it possible to prevent gnome-volume-manager from mounting specific partitions on a usbdisk? I get 4 disks up on my desktop, but only use one of them
[06:53] <cmt^^> thanks
[06:53] <cmt^^> Randakar - it says 1.0.0 in xorg.conf though 8(
[06:53] <jrib> compengi: it won't break anything, go ahead.  But it would be better if you edited the limewire files to use bash instead of sh imo
[06:53] <HumanPrototype> David777, if its a server install you may not have the hotplug stuff installed
[06:53] <kudzubane> Raven: no, if you want some common apps (such as flash-player)
[06:53] <HumanPrototype> !hotplug
[06:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hotplug - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:53] <HumanPrototype> !usb
[06:53] <Randakar> cmt^^: maybe you were wrong? ;-)
[06:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:53] <Raven> Thanks Kudzubane
[06:54] <cmt^^> i guess
[06:54] <compengi> jrib, do you know what should i edit in runLime.sh?
[06:54] <kudzubane> Raven: np
[06:54] <Kitch> If i  download kernal will my driver install work? or will i need to install over top ?
[06:54] <cmt^^> i give up
[06:54] <cmt^^> 8(
[06:54] <Randakar> cmt^^: I'd try 1:0:1 for kicks, see if that's true
[06:54] <rindolf> puffy-san: I can't seem to connect to http://<IP_ADDRESS>:7144/pls/39CC3972D55974F35FDA297F8BBE3390
[06:54] <Kitch> and ty for all your help so far :D
[06:54] <jrib> compengi: I can tell you if you apstebin it
[06:54] <Randakar> later gang
[06:54] <Raven> I need to share my printer with the kids xp machine?
[06:54] <puffy-san> rindolf: humm maybe your browser tries to play it directly... try to 'save as...' on the play link
[06:54] <lumpki> !why ubotu is brainded
[06:55] <wizo> hey, the name that is created in checkinstall will be the one that i have to use when i do apt-get remove?
[06:55] <HumanPrototype> wizo, yes - think so
[06:55] <wizo> gah
[06:55] <HumanPrototype> wizo, what name has it been given?
[06:56] <wizo>  kismet-2006-04-r1
[06:56] <wizo> lol
[06:56] <wizo> that`s a long name to remove
[06:56] <erUSUL> Raven: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba#head-0501c5c431920681c11965c65d3d155c69f508f7
[06:56] <wizo> oo i can change it
[06:56] <compengi> !pastebin
[06:56] <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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:56] <wizo> ah done it, thanks
[06:56] <mwozniak> is there a way to use a bash script to move an arbitrary number of files?
[06:56] <Amaranth> lumpki: What's wrong with ubotu?
[06:56] <Raven>  +
[06:56] <HumanPrototype> wizo, change it or try removing the numbers - i can just use the program name normally
[06:56] <mwozniak> like move file.0 to file.1 and file.1 to file.2 etc to an arbitrary number
[06:57] <puffy-san> mwozniak: atleast with python that is possible
[06:57] <lumpki> Amaranth, sorry, nothing... it doesnt seem to know enough topcias thats all
[06:57] <compengi> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35608/
[06:57] <wizo> ah i renamed it, oh another question, do i do apt-get remove name or do i have to use dpkg -r name ?
[06:57] <mwozniak> puffy-san, how would it know when to stop?
[06:57] <Amaranth> lumpki: teach it :)
[06:57] <Raven> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[06:57] <mwozniak> puffy-san, check if the file exists and then move it?
[06:57] <HumanPrototype> wizo apt-get remove works for me
[06:57] <wizo> i see, thanks
[06:58] <puffy-san> mwozniak: humm well dunno exactly what you want to do but yes it is possible to check if a file exists with python
[06:58] <lumpki> Amaranth, alright then i
[06:58] <jrib> compengi: change line 2 to:    bash runLime.sh
[06:58] <lumpki> Amaranth, alright then i'll try
[06:58] <mwozniak> puffy-san, alright, thanks, i'll look into implementing it with python
[06:58] <David777> So, because Debian/Ubuntu have to have their own setup for Apache2, none of the Apache2 docs mean anything.
[06:58] <rindolf> puffy-san: OK.
[06:58] <compengi> jrib, i had tried it before but didn't work
[06:59] <puffy-san> mwozniak: np, it could be pretty difficult if you don't know python though...
[06:59] <Kitch> an intel P4 is compatible with linux in it?
[06:59] <vcef> !kernel
[06:59] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:59] <rindolf> puffy-san: it's a broken link.
[06:59] <mwozniak> puffy-san, i've used it a couple of times before... nothing very complicated
[06:59] <iceman_> Hey guys small problem.  I removed the main user name because I had an error and now my soundcard will not turn on.  That and sudo apt-get install command does nothing
[06:59] <puffy-san> rindolf: humm... well thanks for trying anyway ;)
[06:59] <jrib> compengi: if it doesn't work, pastebin /opt/LimeWire/runlime.sh
[06:59] <mwozniak> puffy-san, but this should just be one loop with some weird file syntax
[06:59] <cmt^^> I guess I should just give in
[07:00] <cmt^^> I'm not supposed to be able to get it to work
[07:00] <cmt^^> I can't get ati drivers on my system worth of crap
[07:00] <puffy-san> mwozniak: yeah shouldn't be too complicated... if you wan't to check if a file exist, just do a os.path.isfile(path), but first make sure that you have imported the os module
[07:00] <kudzubane> cmt^^: what chipset?
[07:00] <gpd> is there a way to do something like `wall message` to someone who is logged into X11 and has no terminals open?
[07:00] <cmt^^> kudzubane - ati radeon x700 se
[07:00] <cmt^^> and please don't send me that how-to guide
[07:00] <David777> Iceman_: who are you logged in if you deleted the user account?
[07:00] <cmt^^> it doesn't work on my system evidently
[07:00] <fwap> i dont get why some people make fun of ubuntu, this is awsome.. isn't this what even hardcore linux users always wanted.. a stable/easy to use linux desktop to get people using totally free/open source software/operating systems :D i'm not going to buy a mac now to get away from windows
[07:01] <kudzubane> cmt^^: http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/install.html#9
[07:01] <David777> iceman_: If you are logged in as root, you don't need the sudo part in sudo apt-get
[07:01] <kudzubane> cmt^^: http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/install.html#6
[07:01] <cmt^^> fwap - I agree
[07:01] <carpediem> fwap: who makes fun of Ubuntu?
[07:01] <Iceman_B> but Ubuntu doesnt come with a root account,. right?
[07:01] <Iceman_B> =)
[07:01] <iceman_> David777, I went into the recovery kernel and went root and remade the exact same profile name so I could restore my home directory
[07:01] <ArrenLex> fwap: That's exactly why people make fun of ubuntu.
[07:01] <kudzubane> cmt^^: that is short and sweet
[07:01] <fwap> heh
[07:01] <puffy-san> Iceman_B: ubuntu comes with sudo
[07:02] <compengi> jrib, there is no limewire folder in opt
[07:02] <compengi> lol
[07:02] <David777> Iceman_B: Ubuntu does come with root
[07:02] <rindolf> puffy-san: you're welcome.
[07:02] <burepe_> I just installed apache and I was messing around and I changed apache's "apache2-default" file name. After I did that I got a "access forbidden" error so I changed it back but I still get the same error when accessing http://localhost/ . Did I change the directory permissions when I changed the name? How can I fix it?
[07:02] <devilotx> I've got a USB flash drive question/issue, if anyone can assist, that would be nice
[07:02] <cmt^^> kudzubane - thank you, almost looks too easy to be true
[07:02] <cmt^^> gonna try it
[07:02] <cmt^^> brb
[07:02] <carpediem> devilotx: don't ask, just ask
[07:02] <inkeh> hey, i'm having problems with my sound on edgy, it keeps randomly muting?
[07:02] <devilotx> oh ok
[07:02] <jrib> compengi: did you use the write capitalization as in your script?  LimeWire
[07:02] <David777> Iceman_B: If you log into the recovery console, you can set the password for root using passwd and log in as root in the normal login.
[07:03] <Iceman_B> puffy-san / David777: iceman_ isnt'a clone of me, its a different person, but thanks :)
[07:03] <Iceman_B> oh , and I didnt know that
[07:03] <vcef> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild is outdated
[07:03] <iceman_> no no I'm no clone
[07:03] <Iceman_B> but I cnt login anyways, I broke the startup script
[07:03] <Iceman_B> when I tried to get Beryl running
[07:03] <fwap> i think you can set a password for root using 'sudo -' and then preferably using pwgen to generate a good password
[07:03] <devilotx> When I boot Edgy on my laptop with the USB key inserted, it works fine, it automounts it, it shows on the desktop, all is good, I can eject and insert it again, and also insert other keys
[07:03] <vcef> what package do I need to instal to be able to do make xconfig
[07:03] <Lin> hi all.. why in one host using totem-mozilla-plugin I can see a .wmf file embedded on a webpage and in the other system I cannot. The same codecs are installed (about:plugins, show me the codecs). In both systems the same command is executed: /usr/lib/totem/totem-mozilla-viewer ... while one show audio and video the other one shows only the audio.. any tips?
[07:03] <vcef> or at least make menuconfig
[07:04] <devilotx> but if I boot without the key in, I get nothing upon inserting the key, I checked /dev/ and there is no sdb listed
[07:04] <Lin> libncurses5-dev, make, gcc, and libc headers
[07:04] <ArrenLex> vcef: when you run ./configure, it will tell you what it needs.
[07:04] <devilotx> sda is my SATA hard drive
[07:04] <iceman_> Iceman_B, Ha.  I tried removing beryl and now I can't restore to blank session.  And no commands work for me
[07:04] <vcef> there's no configure script in my kernel source dir
[07:04] <compengi> jrib, in the search i found only the runlime.sh which is locate in /usr/share/gnome/help/desktopguide/sample/

[07:04] <vcef> Lin: I did
[07:05] <Lin> vcef: unbzip it
[07:05] <devilotx> So I'm lost...
[07:05] <carpediem> devilotx: hmm, seems...weird.  does "dmesg|tail" say anything when you put the card in?
[07:05] <devilotx> let me try again,
[07:05] <cmt^^> kudzubane - is reboot really necessary?
[07:05] <cmt^^> kudzubane - isn't x restart enough?
[07:05] <vcef> Lin: what do you mean? it's not compressed

[07:06] <compengi> jrib, yeah i know it was a typo
[07:06] <devilotx> er, that was wrong
[07:06] <devilotx> [17180291.144000]  usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8

[07:06] <jrib> compengi: so where is limewire installed?
[07:07] <iceman_> David777, Why is it that I delete the account and restore one with the same name and my soundcard does not work and I can't modprobe alsamixer
[07:07] <devilotx> then it goes through 9, 10, 11, now it's on 14...
[07:07] <Lin> vcef: yes.. it is.
[07:07] <narma> nobody knows how to have subversion 1.4.2 on ubuntu ?
[07:07] <Lin> vcef: cd /usr/src ; for x in *bz2; do tar jxvf $x; done
[07:08] <kudzubane> iceman_ new and old user has same name, but userid is more than likely different
[07:08] <compengi> jrib, i will explain you a little i downloaded it as .rpm then converted it using alien to .deb and installed it
[07:08] <devilotx> nothing new logged, the light on the key has gone off
[07:08] <kudzubane> iceman_: rights assigned to original user probably isn't assigned to the new
[07:08] <devilotx> it went to 14, and stopped
[07:08] <vcef> Lin: thank you but I know how to uncompress archive file and I know the difference between archive file and uncompressed directory which is full of files
[07:08] <jrib> compengi: dpkg -L name_of_the_package   on pastebin please
[07:08] <iceman_> kudzubane, what config file do I need to change/adjust to get my sound to work
[07:08] <vcef> all I am asking is what packages do I need to be able to do make menuconfig or make xconfig
[07:08] <carpediem> devilotx: I searched for that error, and there are some people seeing the same thing on Edgy.
[07:09] <aversin1> Got a Samba question. I can access the shared folder on the Ubuntu box from windows but I can't write to it. I also cant see the Windows box from Ubuntu. Any ideas?
[07:09] <Allans> i have ubuntu 5.10 installed on a file server the server generated an error a few days a go stage1.5 error 22 is it something in the fstab? oh the raid is a reiserfs format the file were original generated by a windows machine
[07:09] <vcef> I presume that these would be some kind of developer libraries for curses or qt or whatever
[07:09] <jrib> !kernel | vcef
[07:09] <Allans> the machine is a file server these file on the server or raid portion of it i can't access through the server i can't take ownership of them and change there permissions
[07:09] <ubotu> vcef: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[07:09] <jrib> vcef: that may be too much, but it should tell you what you want
[07:09] <Allans> here is something else that is odd about this.. when i do a ls -l in the root it show some of the folders, but then i will do a sudo ls -l and i see all of them. But i still can't access the folders
[07:09] <devilotx> hmm, I did search but I didn't come up with much... any links to where you saw that?
[07:09] <Lin> vcef: when you install linux-source-2.6.17 it install a tar.bz2 on /usr/src
[07:09] <devilotx> maybe I can dredge up some advice?
[07:09] <carpediem> devilotx: for instance, this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271600
[07:09] <Allans> i don't know what else to try...
[07:10] <Lin> vcef: I will install here.. just to asure.
[07:10] <vcef> Lin: well. now I remember. You're right. I've installed it yesterday, unpacked, erased and forgot
[07:10] <Allans> Can someone help me please?
[07:10] <Lin> vcef: be welcome.
[07:10] <Lin> vcef: can I stop the download?
[07:10] <Lin> vcef: ;-)
[07:10] <vcef> what download?
[07:10] <carpediem> devilotx: but, it doesn't have a solution I thought was worth mentioning to you
[07:10] <Lin> vcef: linux-source-2.6.17
[07:11] <Lin> vcef: aptitude install linux-source-2.6.17
[07:11] <devilotx> Ah,
[07:11] <vcef> sure.
[07:11] <Lin> vcef: im downloading here..  ;-)
[07:11] <devilotx> shame really, it's not a huge deal, but it is a pain
[07:11] <Lin> vcef: just 40 minutes left ;-)
[07:11] <vcef> But I'm still no step further to making my configuration.
[07:11] <carpediem> devilotx: I use a USB flash drive frequently, without problems.  Also CF through a card reader.  External USB hard drives.  All without trouble.
[07:11] <vcef> cause I refuse to manually edit config file or run oldconfig
[07:11] <compengi> jrib, it says it's now installe :S
[07:12] <compengi> installed*
[07:12] <vcef> crap
[07:12] <kudzubane> wow, there is much to learn about ubuntu
[07:12] <jrib> compengi: dpkg -L name_of_the_package   should list files
[07:12] <carpediem> devilotx: sorry, I wish I knew more about your problem.
[07:12] <Lin> vcef: install libncurses5-dev, make, gcc and libc headers..
[07:12] <devilotx> it's ok, I can live with it,
[07:12] <kudzubane> anyone got a good link to something that outlines the "ubuntu-way" of doing things?
[07:12] <vcef> Lin: thank you very much.
[07:12] <devilotx> I figured I'd try the IRC room anyway
[07:12] <compengi> jrib, sorry typo it says it's not installed
[07:12] <jrib> compengi: what did you type?
[07:13] <Shamurai> I'll soon find out
[07:13] <iceman_> so if I add my new username to the right groups it might restore my audio?
[07:13] <vcef> Lin: May be so bold to ask also for package for compiling graphic configurator?
[07:13] <compengi> jrib, dpkg -L limewire-pro_4.12.6-1_i386.deb
[07:13] <compengi> Package `limewire-pro_4.12.6-1_i386.deb' is not installed.
[07:13] <compengi> Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
[07:13] <compengi> and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
[07:13] <Allans> i have ubuntu 5.10 installed on a file server the server generated an error a few days a go stage1.5 error 22 is it something in the fstab? oh the raid is a reiserfs format the file were original generated by a windows machine.the machine is a file server these file on the server or raid portion of it i can't access through the server i can't take ownership of them and change there permissions..here is something else that is odd about this
[07:13] <Lin> vcef: there is a qt version and gtk on.. xconfig try both. AFAIK...
[07:13] <jrib> compengi: dpkg -l '*lime*'
[07:13] <jamclx> why can't I set my resolution higher than 1280x1024 in linux? I could in windows
[07:14] <jrib> !fixres | jamclx
[07:14] <ubotu> jamclx: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:14] <jamclx> I mean 1024x768
[07:14] <Lin> vcef: just try make a xconfig and keep watch on output.. but the "graphical mode" isnt better than the curses one...
[07:14] <vcef> I'm missing both - qt and gtk dev packages
[07:14] <jamclx> ok thanks ubotu
[07:14] <nofearrr> hi all is there a pk for ISPconfig debain ready ?
[07:14] <devilotx> I even tried pysda, but it doesn't see it.  Is there any way to add sdb to /dev/?
[07:14] <Allans> Am i into ignore`s lists?
[07:14] <compengi> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35611/
[07:14] <Lin> vcef: install anyone
[07:15] <Lin> vcef: or both ;-)
[07:15] <vcef> Lin: I should porbably learn how to search for package which provides certain file ...
[07:15] <Lin> vcef: install apt-file
[07:15] <vcef> that'll stop all these silly questions of mine
[07:16] <Octarine> Hi, Help on GRUB Error 17 please?
[07:16] <ArrenLex> vcef: you can do that using the second box on packages.ubuntu.com
[07:16] <jrib> Allans: no, probably no one knows the answer
[07:16] <ArrenLex> Octarine: can you be more specific than "error 17"? xD
[07:16] <vcef> packages.ubuntu.com? I don't know that site. Thanks.
[07:16] <jrib> compengi: dpkg -L limewire-pro
[07:16] <stojance> hello!
[07:16] <vcef> However sometimes I just prefer to use cml tools only
[07:16] <David777> lol, despite Ubuntu's best efforts, I can now share my file system.
[07:16] <Octarine> Oh, okay, its an error where it cant locate the partition to boot from
[07:16] <vcef> (doing stuff from home on my dorm. computer etc)
[07:17] <Allans> Oh thanks
[07:17] <Allans> Maybe ill wait
[07:17] <stojance> !bot > stojance
[07:17] <vcef> great. menuconfig finally works. thank you very much Lin
[07:17] <compengi> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35612/
[07:17] <Lin> vcef: please insert 10 dolars on marked place
[07:18] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Do you know\have a guess as to what caused this error? Did it work before? What did you change? How much do you know about rescuing systems? What other systems do you have on this machine? Do you have an ubuntu liveCD lying around which you can use to rescue the system? Does Grub start at all and then crash only when you're trying to boot ubuntu, or does grub not come up at all? Be specific, man!~
[07:18] <ArrenLex> !
[07:18] <cmt^^> kudzubane - didn't work
[07:18] <cmt^^> kudzubane - X froze on restart
[07:18] <vcef> now - there are these debian/Config/config* files which I presume are tuned for certain architectures
[07:18] <Lin> vcef: no.. you should not touch on them
[07:18] <Octarine> Okay. GRUB does not load, says 'loading grub' then i just get Error 17. I have windows on this PC too, although that wont boot, and im currently running from ubuntu Live
[07:19] <jrib> compengi: ok type 'limewire', you get a syntax error?  pastebin /usr/bin/limewire and /usr/lib/LimeWire/runLime.sh
[07:19] <vcef> Lin: OK. How do I use them?
[07:19] <ArrenLex> Octarine: I asked you more than that.
[07:19] <BSDnux> in my quest to make the line-in of my soundcard work i ended up with no sound at all... is there something that could save me from reinstalling?
[07:19] <Morn> can ubuntu be installed to an external usb/firewire drive?
[07:19] <Lin> vcef: just make menuconfig
[07:19] <Octarine> thats all i know on the subject.
[07:19] <Lin> vcef: my tip.. install kernel-package debian package
[07:19] <ArrenLex> Octarine: you mean you don't even know if you changed your system in some way?
[07:19] <Lin> vcef: and use make-kpkg command line
[07:19] <kudzubane> cmt^^: sorry to hear that
[07:19] <winand> Programming question: How do you get the user's home dir so you can make a .app-dir/.pidlock
[07:19] <Lin> vcef: after your make menuconfig
[07:20] <BSDnux> ~ is home, winand
[07:20] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Am I to assume you suffer from the terrible "installing new hard drives while asleep" syndrome?
[07:20] <Octarine> I installed Ubuntu to a second hard disk. And.. thats all ive done.
[07:20] <LacunaV> Can anyone vouch for udev 103
[07:20] <ArrenLex> Octarine: You've also not answered if it's ever worked before, which implies to me that you suffer from severe short- and long-term memory loss. You poor soul. = /
[07:20] <winand> BSDnux: can you use ~ in things like ifstream pidfile("~/.app-dir/.pidlock");
[07:21] <kudzubane> cmt^^: dunno what to tell you, after countless bad experiences with ati graphics chips and linux, I've don't purchase machines with them anymore
[07:21] <Octarine> Okay, Ubuntu has never worked before, and will not boot, due to the GRUb error 17.
[07:21] <compengi> jrib, /usr/bin/limewire #!/bin/bash
[07:21] <compengi> cd /usr/lib/LimeWire
[07:21] <compengi> sh runLime.sh
[07:21] <ArrenLex> cmt^^: ATI+Linux = hell. What problems are you having, sorry?
[07:21] <jrib> compengi: change sh runLime.sh  to  bash runLime.sh
[07:21] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Then you've just now installed ubuntu for the first time?
[07:21] <Octarine> yes.
[07:21] <BSDnux> windand: you can use ~ everywhere for the users home
[07:21] <ArrenLex> Octarine: has any OS other than windows ever been on this machine? Are you a Linux newbie?
[07:21] <Octarine> Yes, I am.
[07:21] <wsoderberg> hey guys, when installing ubuntu I cant choose the launch live cd option to install. any1 know what the problem might be?
[07:22] <fwap> ubuntu 6.06.1 desktop automatically chooses and install the bootloader for you now?
[07:22] <ArrenLex> Octarine: You installed ubuntu from the LiveCD? Did the installation give you any errors?
[07:22] <Octarine> No, no installation errors, all of that went through fine
[07:22] <justincredible> Anyone handy with configuring integrated bluetooth on Dell laptops?

[07:23] <compengi> jrib, yeah it worked
[07:23] <jrib> compengi: great
[07:23] <DeathWolf> hum
[07:23] <winand> BSDnux: it doesn't seem to work with ifstream pidfile("~/.app-dir/.pidlock"); because it always returns null or wahtever, even when it shouldn't
[07:23] <ArrenLex> XD I need "ar" to compile binutils, which I am compiling to get "ar". Now what?
[07:23] <DeathWolf> how can i know the reason of this: 7781  execve("/bin/bash", ["bash"] , [/* 21 vars */] ) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) ?
[07:23] <wsoderberg> anyone know why I can't see the live cd installation doesnt show up on my ubuntu 6.06 cd?

[07:24] <MystaMax> wow my question flew by
[07:25] <ArrenLex> Octarine: paste THAT LINK here.
[07:25] <wsoderberg> yea they seem to do so mysta :P

[07:25] <David777> Anywayz, is the Ubuntu version of Apache2 SSL enabled?
[07:25] <winand> so my question is, how do you get ~ to expand to "/home/winand"
[07:26] <MystaMax> David777, i dont think so, you'll have to install seperately
[07:26] <Octarine> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35614/

[07:26] <MystaMax> woohoo he got it

[07:29] <tundejeg> i want to install oracle 10g enterprise on my ubuntu
[07:29] <justincredible> mystamax, what type of laptop to youown?
[07:29] <ArrenLex> sp00n3d: And what happened when you tried to burn this ISO?
[07:29] <ArrenLex> Octarine: hold on, no, wait.
[07:29] <Octarine> ArrenLex: I get 'No such file or directory'
[07:29] <sp00n3d> write errors.
[07:29] <tundejeg> but i could not get enterprise edition
[07:29] <ArrenLex> Octarine: It's not that easy. I forgot you were on a LiveCD.
[07:30] <ArrenLex> Octarine: open a terminal and run the command "mkdir /target"
[07:30] <Octarine> okay
[07:30] <sp00n3d> i even went out and bought new discs.
[07:30] <sp00n3d> i've tried nero and alcoholsoft...
[07:30] <apokryphos> sp00n3d: rewritables are really good if you're thinking of running Linux distributions
[07:30] <ArrenLex> sp00n3d: Access to any other CD drives? Your drive might be bad.
[07:30] <Octarine> ArrenLex: Permission denied, apparently
[07:30] <allee> justincredible: My AVN ISDN modem playes nicely together with Dell's build in bluetooth.  My MS mouse working before always disconnects when going into sleep (not search why it happes)
[07:30] <ArrenLex> Octarine: "sudo mkdir /target" then
[07:30] <Octarine> k
[07:30] <sp00n3d> eh i was hoping it wasn't the hardware
[07:30] <MystaMax> justincredible, I also didnt spend alot of time on it. But my Dell D620 (dapper install) w/ integrated bluetooth found my phone, both my bluetooth stereo headphones, my cellphone bluetooth headsets. basically it found them all, but i can't use them for anything
[07:30] <tundejeg> its only express edition
[07:30] <tundejeg> i hope
[07:30] <sp00n3d> maybe i will run out and get some rewritables
[07:30] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Then run "sudo mount /dev/hdb2 /target"
[07:31] <Octarine> ArrenLex: its done that..
[07:31] <tundejeg> if i install express edition
[07:31] <sp00n3d> i just wondered what you guys used to burn your isos
[07:31] <Octarine> ArrenLex: not displayed anything though
[07:31] <sp00n3d> what programs
[07:31] <ArrenLex> Octarine: It shouldn't. Run the mount command and tell me when you've done
[07:31] <allee> MystaMax: ah, D620.  You have intel gfx in it?
[07:31] <tundejeg> it will perform all the functionality of the express edition
[07:31] <jerp> k3b is a good burner
[07:31] <sindrum> i used nero
[07:31] <Halcy0n> sp00n3d: I personally use K3B for everything
[07:31] <MystaMax> allee, nope I have nvidia 5600
[07:31] <justincredible> mystamax, So your dell worked out of the box with bluetooth (Not worked, but atleast turned on)?
[07:31] <sindrum> for win or linux?
[07:31] <ArrenLex> sp00n3d: I used k3b.  I get less than 1 fps after playing about 2min, probably when it needs new textures... I'm using fglrx, A N Y ! ideas are welcome!!
[07:32] <justincredible> mk
[07:33] <ArrenLex> Octarine: ...That's very odd.
[07:33] <sp00n3d> i've already wasted 2 hours just trying to burn it ... i think the linux gods are testing me.
[07:33] <ArrenLex> Octarine: please pastebin the commands you've run up to this point, starting from the mkdir command.
[07:33] <tundejeg> hi
[07:33] <ArrenLex> sp00n3d: You can always install from a USB stick or floppy if you're desperate.
[07:33] <tundejeg> can some one help
[07:33] <HumanPrototype> wow! has anybody tried installing beryl, turning on the wobbly windows plugin and running cat /dev/urandom from a terminal?
[07:33] <ArrenLex> !someone | tundejeg
[07:33] <ubotu> tundejeg: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:34] <haxality> can anyone help?
[07:34] <benny99> it works properly under windows, no dmesgS
[07:34] <SpaceBass> can anyone help me with my install issue?
[07:34] <ArrenLex> XD WOW
[07:34] <tundejeg> yes arrenlex
[07:34] <SpaceBass> i keep getting grub error 2 on first boot
[07:34] <David777> winand: You should getenv("HOME")
[07:34] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, whats the issue?
[07:34] <tundejeg> pls
[07:34] <cmt^^> ArrenLex - I'm having problems getting glx and / or ati drivers working
[07:34] <sp00n3d> yeah not that desperate. i'll just upgrade my ram and cd-r drive. been needing to.
[07:34] <Octarine> ArrenLex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35618/
[07:34] <tundejeg> i want to install oracle 10g
[07:34] <ArrenLex> cmt^^: "problems" is very vague.
[07:34] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, what is your hdd setup, are you dual booting, do you have a sperate /boot partition?
[07:34] <tundejeg> on my ubuntu
[07:34] <tundejeg> linux
[07:35] <benny99> again, any!! ideas are welcome... the drivers should be installed correctly
[07:35] <cmt^^> ArrenLex - i have the following errormessage that haunts me: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[07:35] <tundejeg> but i dont see an enterprise edition for ubuntu
[07:35] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, 5 drives...all on pci controller cards...1 200gb (first drive) for the sytem...rest are part of a raid 5 software array
[07:35] <tundejeg> on the net
[07:35] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Well, yeah. You can't expecute parts of commands and expect them to do the same thing. xD
[07:35] <justincredible> ahh hcitool scan doesnt work!
[07:35] <SpaceBass> installing to the 200gb drive (hda)
[07:35] <tundejeg> i only saw express edition
[07:35] <ArrenLex> Octarine: I said: Then run "sudo mount /dev/hdb2 /target"
[07:35] <ArrenLex> Octarine: And you run just "mount".
[07:35] <tundejeg> my question now
[07:35] <Octarine> ohhhh.
[07:35] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Run the full command please.
[07:35] <Octarine> :D
[07:35] <Octarine> will do
[07:35] <jerp> HumanPrototype, what happens with beryl when you do that?
[07:35] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, wow - impressive! how come you cant put the 200gb drive on the mobo?
[07:36] <Octarine> ArrenLex: Done that
[07:36] <ArrenLex> cmt^^: Then enable the DRI extension in xorg.conf
[07:36] <HumanPrototype> jerp, it makes the window dance like crazy - amusing to watch
[07:36] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, the onboard ide controller is shot
[07:36] <ArrenLex> Octarine: now run sudo chroot /target
[07:36] <sindrum> benny gimmi a sec
[07:36] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, ah, sucky
[07:36] <tundejeg> is that if i install dat express i hope it will perform the functionalities of that of enterprise edition
[07:36] <rubix_> what totem plugin do i need for dvd's
[07:36] <ArrenLex> Octarine: I brb for a moment.
[07:36] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, ok then did it install ok and just wont reboot?
[07:36] <Octarine> ArrenLex: Okay then
[07:36] <sindrum> nm
[07:36] <tundejeg> Arrenlex
[07:36] <tundejeg> i will be waiting 4 u
[07:36] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, yep...installer insists on putting grub on hd0 ...which doesnt exist as far as I know
[07:37] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, thats just the first hard drive
[07:37] <sp00n3d> i just had a big scare... had to look at bank balance and forgot about a 675$ check i wrote. thinking my bad day just got worser.
[07:37] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, wonder which one it thinks is first
[07:37] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, and it should be (hd0,0) to be the first partition
[07:37] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, how can i see which drives grub calls what
[07:37] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, think it would be hda
[07:37] <David777> winand: This program will get the user's home directory: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35621/
[07:37] <SpaceBass> tried hda in setup and when it came time to install grub it errored out and quit the installer
[07:38] <HumanPrototype> can anybody confirm that grub (hd0,0) will always be the same as /dev/hda1
[07:38] <rubix_> SpaceBass, are you having install problems
[07:38] <SpaceBass> rubix_,  yeah
[07:38] <David777> HumanPrototype: I think that's only true if your system only has IDE drives
[07:38] <SpaceBass> my 200gb drive is technically my first ide drive
[07:38] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Okay. Have you run the chroot command?
[07:38] <HumanPrototype> David777, ok, thanks
[07:38] <Octarine> ArrenLex:yes
[07:39] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, do you have any non-ide drives (scsi, sata etc?)
[07:39] <SpaceBass> yeah
[07:39] <cj> I need a picture of Feisty Fawn to put on my fridge for my daughter.  do we have one?
[07:39] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Now run "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" which will output the contents of that file. Pastebin these contents.
[07:39] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, then (hd0,0) may be the first of those drives
[07:39] <HumanPrototype> can you look in the bios and see if that gives u the hdd order?
[07:40] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, is it hardware raid?
[07:40] <VincentHall> hi there
[07:40] <Octarine> ArrenLex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35622/
[07:40] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, no, software raid...md0 using reiserfs
[07:40] <rubix_> SpaceBass, just one moment...i have a guide that might help you
[07:40] <rubix_> SpaceBass, well actually, try to go into the installer, kill the gdm and then use xinit from the console
[07:40] <MystaMax> justincredible, I've got gnome-bluetooth, bluez-utils, bluez-pin, bluez-pcmcia-support, and bluez-cups installed.
[07:41] <rubix_> then run ubiquity from the commandline in basic x
[07:41] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype,part of the problem is that since they are on controller cards the bios doesnt see them
[07:41] <SpaceBass> or list them
[07:41] <SpaceBass> what will xinit do ?
[07:41] <alberto> hi to all, sorry i have a big prob with ubu 6.10 i386 since i removed an sd and a usb pendrive without the unmount : they are no more recognized and mounted (after a reboot too): with the last 2 ubuntu restart i receive an "failed to initialize HAL!" message.. ani idea where to find any info o suggestion??    sorry the long message
[07:41] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, ok...take it back..Bios lists my 200gb drive (hda) as the first in the list
[07:41] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, you could try using the install disk as a rescue disk to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to try each hd in turn (hd0,0) (hd1,0) etc
[07:42] <MystaMax> justincredible, So now under System -> Preferences I have Bluetooth Manager which can scan for my bluetooth devices. It'll find lots when I'm @ work, b/c all computers have bluetooth
[07:42] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Strange... everything looks alright. Fine, now run "update-grub".
[07:42] <keeb_>  i want to scp my id_rsa.pub to authorized_keys on remote
[07:42] <keeb_>                machine, but don't want it to overwrite previous entries
[07:42] <keeb_> using scp, any ideas?
[07:42] <David777> alberto: What does dmesg say about the problem?
[07:43] <joey-> hello
[07:43] <justincredible> MystaMax, are you using gnome or kde?
[07:43] <hou5ton_> I accidentally downloaded and installed the wrong version of EasyUbuntu. How do I unistall it?
[07:43] <rubix_> SpaceBass, exactly what problem are you having?
[07:43] <rubix_> hou5ton, just change your reps and apt-get update-distro
[07:43] <ArrenLex> Octarine: Done?
[07:43] <alberto> ty david dmseg seems to be ok about the pendrive
[07:43] <SpaceBass> rubix_, installed to hda ... grub on hd0 (as per installer)...trying for first boot and I get grub error 2
[07:44] <ArrenLex> Oh, he's gone. xD
[07:44] <hou5ton_> rubix_:   that will "Unistall" the wrong one?
[07:44] <MystaMax> justincredible, Im using gnome. I just realized that I'm also using libbluetooth1, libbluetooh1-dev, libbtctl2-dev, libgnomebt0-dev, and python2.4-libbtctl
[07:44] <ArrenLex> Well, less work for me, I guess...
[07:44] <MystaMax> justincredible, I don't know much about KDE, sorry.
[07:45] <Przemek3> witam
[07:45] <alberto> the devices are recognized too with the hal-device-manager active : i see the connect and disconnect log (for both sd and usb)
[07:45] <justincredible> That's alright. I'm playing with the commands and it seems like it can't even find my bluetooth interface
[07:45] <justincredible> which would explain why it can't scan
[07:45] <arnor> hello all
[07:45] <ArrenLex> !hi
[07:45] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:45] <Przemek3> siemka
[07:46] <arnor> ubotu: thx
[07:46] <arnor> :)
[07:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:46] <SpaceBass> rubix_, any ideas ? :)
[07:46] <arnor> Przemek3: ?
[07:46] <MystaMax> justincredible, yea i didnt do much to get it working. I found a thread on the forums explaining what the bluetooth manager was. So I installed it, and it started to scan. not much work involved, it just worked.
[07:47] <arnor> does anyone know how to fix APT database?
[07:47] <HumanPrototype> arnor, ubotu is a bot that responds to stuff it knows about - ask it about something by saying ubotu: <something> or !<something>
[07:47] <justincredible> mystamax, I wish it was that easy :(
[07:47] <ArrenLex> arnor: "fix" it? How is it broken?
[07:47] <arnor> HumanPrototype: I guessed
[07:47] <arnor> ;)
[07:47] <HumanPrototype> arnor, gdgd :)
[07:47] <freight> hello?
[07:47] <ArrenLex> arnor: Sure you did, AFTER you said hi to it ;)
[07:47] <homecable> !sshd
[07:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sshd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:47] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, guess I'm at a loss....if bios shows my drive as the first one, shouldnt that be hd0?

[07:48] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, afaik it should but ymmv and im definatly not an expert
[07:48] <justincredible> mystamax, do you know if you could ndiswrapper the windows driver for the bluetooth to the kernel?
[07:48] <arnor> !apt
[07:48] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[07:48] <HumanPrototype> does anybody know of a place i can a load of programs to write to practice my basic skills?
[07:49] <justincredible> or is ndiswrapper for just wireless cards?
[07:49] <zainka> Hi... where can I get a reliable archieve/unpacker tool which can take rpm packages??? The default one (archieve manager) in Ubuntu (6,06) wont recon it...
[07:49] <homecable> any one use the server iso ?
[07:49] <MystaMax> For those that use WiFi to access the internet, what packages do you use to manage your WiFi?
[07:49] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, using the live CD how can I mount hda to look at /boot?
[07:49] <cmt^^> ArrenLex - I have this in my DRI section: Mode 0666
[07:50] <cmt^^> ArrenLex - what am I supposed to have?
[07:50] <ArrenLex> cmt^^: That is correct, but are you even loading the DRI module?
[07:50] <freight> who used "manual" ubuntu install with light apps?
[07:50] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, cd /mnt && sudo mkdir hda1 && sudo mount /dev/hda1 hda1
[07:50] <cmt^^> I don't know
[07:50] <cmt^^> :)
[07:50] <ArrenLex> cmt^^: Make sure "dri" is in your extensions.
[07:50] <justincredible> mystamax, I dont currently use ndiswrapper for wireless utilities, but I am familiar with using it
[07:50] <cmt^^> How?
[07:51] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, that changes to /media , creates a dir and mounts /dev/hda1 on that dir
[07:51] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, tried...says no entry in fstab...which I cannot edit b/c the CD is readonly
[07:51] <ArrenLex> cmt^^: pastebin your conf file please.
[07:51] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, then yuo need to give a place to mount it on
[07:51] <HumanPrototype> like i added the hda1 on the end (which is the name of the dir i created"
[07:51] <SpaceBass> hummmm
[07:52] <cmt^^> ArrenLex - http://pastebin.se/4803
[07:52] <MystaMax> justincredible, right now I only can connect to my home wireless network, b/c I altered a txt file, isn't there a GUI to add/remove SSIDs and setup WPA or WEP
[07:52] <SpaceBass> i just dont understand they underlaying issue...why is this so hard to install
[07:52] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, in the live cd try sudo grub-install /dev/hda
[07:52] <justincredible> mystamax, have you tried editing the interfaces file or setting up wpa_supplicant?
[07:53] <ArrenLex> cmt^^: You are. Hmm...
[07:53] <ArrenLex> cmt^^: Dunno; I have to go, sorry. xD
[07:53] <cmt^^> Wtf? :(
[07:53] <HumanPrototype> SpaceBass, then you know its on /dev/hda
[07:53] <SpaceBass> HumanPrototype, tried that before but not with sudo...with sudo i get an error that it could not find device for /boot

[07:57] <oripi> human ?
[07:57] <justincredible> mystamax, Ok. So what are you looking to do? Use a GUI to connect to different networks or to setup WPA support?

[07:57] <nofearrr> !ispconfig
[07:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ispconfig - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[07:59] <zainka> HI.. again.. How can I unpack rpm packages in Ubuntu?? Archieve manager wont recon the package. I can download a tgz package also for sae program but only the source and then I have to recompile it and my scills is relative dull, also It seems like I have to install xserver before ./configure will succede, and as far as I know I need to downloade and install the whole debiane CD image to make this happen on my computer, so.... please, since I have the optio
[07:59] <rambo3> dave_, take a look at session
[07:59] <HumanPrototype> i try and run make sense and it just gives me errors
[07:59] <MystaMax> justincredible, no i dont. its in the repositories?
[07:59] <justincredible> yep
[07:59] <Dheeraj_k> is human-ubuntu theme available on repo?
[07:59] <justincredible> just apt-get it
[08:00] <MystaMax> justincredible, thanks will do.
[08:00] <HumanPrototype> zainka, what were you hoping to do with the rpm?
[08:00] <Dheeraj_k> any 1?
[08:00] <alberto> >	hi to all, sorry i have a big prob with ubu 6.10 i386 since i removed an sd and a usb pendrive without the unmount : they are no more recognized and mounted (after a reboot too): with the last 2 ubuntu restart i receive an "failed to initialize HAL!" message.. ani idea where to find any info o suggestion?? sorry the long message
[08:00] <dave_> startup programs are update-notifier /usr/lib/evolution/2.8/evolution-alarm-notify, gnome-pwoermanager and gnome volume manager
[08:00] <alberto> or any idea to begin a troubleshoot
[08:00] <justincredible> mystamax, That's just another GUI tool. It may or may not work. I have had problems using GUI's to work correctly with my ipw2100 wireless device
[08:01] <dope> for some reason i have two copies of the icons in the top right of my screen
[08:01] <dope> but one is slightly moved to the left so i see two sets over each other
[08:01] <dope> how do i get rid of that
[08:01] <Dheeraj_k>  is human-ubuntu theme available on repo?
[08:01] <zainka> HumanPrototype, The rpm includes installation files for ubuntu, and no need for recompiling, by some means I dont know why, the tgz packages only includes source to be compiled, thats what I need rpm for

[08:02] <Dheeraj_k>  is human-ubuntu theme available on repo?
[08:02] <crimsun> Dheeraj_k: yes
[08:02] <crimsun> (wasn't this answered already in #edubuntu?)
[08:03] <HumanPrototype> zainka, as far as i know the default file-roller program on ubuntu supports rpms so you could try that or convert the rpm to a deb with alien
[08:03] <Dheeraj_k> crimsun: how can i get that?
[08:03] <crimsun> Dheeraj_k: laserjock just told you.
[08:03] <Adium> hid3, how do i stop edgy putting my laptop on standby when i close the laptop lid
[08:04] <justincredible> mystamax, For WPA, you want to look into an application called WPA_Supplicant. I ran across it a few times but my card doesn't support wpa so I didn't look into it.
[08:04] <Adium> this never happened with previous releases
[08:04] <Adium> hi*
[08:04] <dave_> dont close your laptop lid
[08:04] <Adium> got kids i need to :)
[08:04] <MystaMax> justincredible, ok Thanks. I found the redhat developed app called NetworkManager that does the same thing. I wonder what most ubuntu users use.
[08:04] <dave_> ahhh QUICK HIDE THE PORN
[08:05] <Dheeraj_k> crimsun: where?
[08:05] <MystaMax> justincredible, link: http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/
[08:05] <crimsun> Dheeraj_k: < LaserJock> if you have installed ubuntu-artwork you have it
[08:05] <Dheeraj_k> crimsun: but it is not in list :(
[08:06] <justincredible> mystamax, Thanks
[08:06] <zainka> HumanPrototype,  ... 'file-roller' ? Ill go look for it, thanx ... Ill hope Ill clever enough to find it :)
[08:06] <Cyde> I have a nice little error going on.  I just loaded my MySQL backups from a Gentoo system and now I get errors when starting MySQL because I overwrote the users table.  What do you make of this?  /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
[08:06] <Cyde> error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'
[08:06] <hou5ton_> I accidentally installed the wrong version of EasyUbuntu, and would like to unistall it. It is not listed in Synaptic. Can I just do somethikng like; sudo apt-get remover easyubuntu?
[08:07] <Dheeraj_k> crimsun: is it possible to get it through apt? if yes than wat i need to type?
[08:07] <crimsun> Dheeraj_k: apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-artwork
[08:08] <crimsun> Dheeraj_k: hmm, are you doing this on an edgy install?
[08:08] <Dheeraj_k> crimsun: i am on dapper
[08:08] <dr0ck> is it possible to install gnome 2.16.1 on Dapper Drake ?
[08:09] <hou5ton_> I accidentally installed the wrong version of EasyUbuntu, and would like to unistall it. It is not listed in Synaptic. Can I just do somethikng like; sudo apt-get remover easyubuntu?
[08:09] <Adium> Does any one know how to stop my laptop going into standby/hibernate when i close my laptop lid, using edgy-elf?
[08:09] <HumanPrototype> zainka, its in the repos
[08:10] <cmt^^> I need to find someone who has actually gotten their ATI-graphics card to work with Ubuntu. Please contact me or highlight me in this channel so that I can learn how you worked through the problems
[08:10] <hou5ton_> Adium:   System >> Preferences >> Power Management
[08:10] <Adium> tryed it still does it :(
[08:11] <nothlit> dr0ck, there are tons of dependencies that would be required, you should upgrade to edgy if you want a newer version of gnome
[08:11] <hou5ton_> is there some command in Ubuntu, sort of like the "pretend" command in Gentoo, where I can see what would happen before I actually do something?
[08:11] <MystaMax> cmt^^, what issues are you having so we can all see it.
[08:11] <dr0ck> nothilt: thx
[08:11] <zainka> HumanPrototype, It seems like wath I reffere to as beeing "archieve manager" and what you call "file-roller" is the very same thingy... Any alternatives I can install from some where or are there any add-ons to file-roller making it capable to extract rpm's?? alien seems not to be a part of my system, yet (command unknown) so an advice for where to get it would be nice,,, if any alternatives for file-roller cant be given.. Thanx
[08:12] <scheelings> hello all
[08:13] <cmt^^> MystaMax - my error: http://pastebin.se/4807 - and here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.se/4803
[08:13] <dave_> cmt^^ i got it working, but there wasnt anything to work through
[08:14] <jamesbrose> Can sombody help me enable this swap partition?
[08:14] <zainka>
[08:14] <cmt^^> dave_ - what model/make?
[08:14] <mypapit> what's the name of ubuntu default music player?
[08:14] <unimatrix9> how do i edit and uncomment entries in grub?
[08:14] <apokryphos> unimatrix9: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[08:14] <dave_> VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PD/PRO TMDS
[08:15] <apokryphos> mypapit: rhythmbox?
[08:15] <zainka> mypapit, Rhythmbox music player should be the name ya seek
[08:15] <unimatrix9> ok
[08:15] <mypapit> apokryphos, zainka thanks
[08:15] <v3rtigo_> How do i remove modules that load on boot time by defualt?
[08:16] <hou5ton_> I'm looking online for directions on how to use apt-get to remove an application....  anyone have a link or know the answer?
[08:17] <robban_> hou5ton_: apt-get remove application
[08:18] <hou5ton_> robban_:   thanks ... just found some info  ... would I want to maybe to apt-get --purge remove packagename ... to also get the config files?
[08:18] <hou5ton_> robban_:   or I see there is also apt-get autoremove packagename, that also gets the dependencies?
[08:19] <zainka> any alternatives for file-roller???
[08:19] <hou5ton_> Also ...  I keep getting mixed reviews on Automatrix2 .... I'm open to more opinions?
[08:20] <LjL> !automatix
[08:20] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[08:20] <LjL> hou5ton_: that *is* intended to remove unused dependencies. i don't think you should add a package name, just "apt-get autoremove"
[08:20] <LjL> though i haven't tried with a package name, might work as well
[08:21] <hou5ton_> LjL:   I have to add the packagename, ... I'm wanting to uninstall a package ... I accidentlly downloaded the wrong version of EasyUbunut
[08:22] <LjL> hou5ton_: right, it works with a package name too
[08:23] <hou5ton_> LjL:   I guess I just want to be sure that autoremove knows to ONLY take dependencies that aren't used by anything else?
[08:23] <LjL> hou5ton_: it's most defitely supposed to behave like that
[08:23] <cmt^^> dave_ - u here?
[08:24] <hou5ton_> LjL:   great .... i'll give it a try right now
[08:24] <dave_> yeah
[08:24] <cmt^^> dave_ - what model and make do you have?
[08:24] <cmt^^> of ati-card
[08:24] <cmt^^> MystaMax - did you read about the problems i've been having?
[08:24] <dave_> VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PD/PRO TMDS
[08:24] <kuzmaster> hello everyone!
[08:24] <carzzz215> hey, you guys are talking about easyubuntu?  i've used it too, but it seems i can't download some of the packages from it because it says some of there servers are down
[08:24] <Balachmar> IF I want a program to be run at startup and set that in the session window, the change isn't saved
[08:24] <dave_> its pretty old
[08:24] <cmt^^> dave_ - ah ok.. I have a ati radeon x700
[08:25] <Balachmar> Anyone has an idea on why this is?
[08:25] <dave_> put it in as my second monitor
[08:26] <alberto> sry to all here a big problem with the usb mount :(
[08:26] <unimatrix9> who knows about the grub menu and editing it?
[08:26] <dave_> cmt^^  have you tried the drivers from ati.com ?
[08:26] <MystaMax> cmt^^, I did take a look, but I'm not familiar with them directly.
[08:26] <cmt^^> dave_ - i actually haven't
[08:26] <cmt^^> gonna check them out
[08:26] <dave_> http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html
[08:26] <cck> hi, i'm new to ubuntu, how do you edit php directly on the server ?
[08:27] <Nicon> In a difference to debian I find it hard to know which package resperatory to use to use the "unstable" equivalent tree? Is there any good way to update the sources.list to always point to latest "unstable" / next release beta tree?
[08:27] <assasukasse> hi everyone
[08:27] <assasukasse> i installed beryl on dapper
[08:27] <assasukasse> on edgy
[08:27] <kuzmaster> can somone please guide me throught step-by-step, how to make it so the user for the ftp, has un restricted access to the whole disk? in proftpd
[08:27] <assasukasse> and it does work fine
[08:27] <kuzmaster> i am running a ubuntu server, but it cant be accessed by the outside world
[08:27] <assasukasse> but if i had to choose between beryl and compiz
[08:27] <kuzmaster> its only purpose is to host an intranet
[08:27] <assasukasse> which one should i
[08:27] <unimatrix9> who knows about the grub menu and editing it?
[08:28] <dave_> unimatrix9 its all in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:29] <unimatrix9> yes but how do i uncomment for example something
[08:29] <gpm> hey guys, anyone know how i can slow down video playback? i don't think totem can do it...
[08:29] <dave_> take away the #
[08:29] <unimatrix9> title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
[08:29] <unimatrix9> there is no #
[08:29] <elhaxxorz> !firewire
[08:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about firewire - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:29] <dave_> so its not commented out
[08:29] <compengi> hi gnomefreak
[08:29] <elhaxxorz> hey guys
[08:30] <linkrjh> Grub guy, I found this
[08:30] <unimatrix9> so it shows up in the menu, but i would like to hide it...
[08:30] <linkrjh> http://www.openbg.net/sto/os/xml/grub.html
[08:30] <unimatrix9> :P
[08:30] <dave_> ohh
[08:30] <linkrjh> Down at the bottom there are example menu's
[08:30] <dave_> comment it out
[08:30] <linkrjh> Just use one of those
[08:30] <linkrjh> as a reference
[08:30] <dave_> put some # 's
[08:30] <SliMM> hey
[08:30] <SliMM> i have a question about xubuntu
[08:30] <dave_> in front of each line of the section
[08:30] <unimatrix9> only on the first line?
[08:30] <unimatrix9> title		Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
[08:30] <unimatrix9> root		(hd1,0)
[08:30] <dave_> no, all of them in the section
[08:30] <SliMM> but #xubuntu is quite empty
[08:31] <unimatrix9> or also on the second?
[08:31] <cmt^^> dave_ - how do I install the proprietary drivers?
[08:31] <dave_> title to boot
[08:31] <x0x> can i install counter strike?
[08:31] <kuzmaster> can somone please tell me, step-by-step, how to create a user in proftpd, that has un-restricted access to the whole disk?
[08:31] <kuzmaster> please!
[08:31] <Cyde> kuzmaster: That seems like a bad idea, actually ..
[08:31] <dave_> it does
[08:32] <Cyde> kuzmaster: You know how insecure FTP is, right?
[08:32] <unimatrix9> so this would be
[08:32] <elhaxxorz> i don't recommend that
[08:32] <unimatrix9> title		Ubuntu, memtest86+
[08:32] <unimatrix9> root		(hd1,0)
[08:32] <kuzmaster> cyde: no its not, this is only for the network
[08:32] <aG`Whitey_rG> hello
[08:32] <aG`Whitey_rG> i got a question
[08:32] <unimatrix9> #title		Ubuntu, memtest86+r #root		(hd1,0)
[08:32] <Cyde> kuzmaster: So you're sure it's firewalled off from the outside world?
[08:32] <aG`Whitey_rG> is ubuntu not making dvd images anymore?
[08:32] <unimatrix9> yes?
[08:32] <compengi> i have a problem with running k3b it says http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35632/
[08:33] <dave_> should be #title  #root #kernel #etc #etc  #boot
[08:33] <unimatrix9> ok thnx
[08:33] <SliMM> can i install xubuntu without ereasing the data on a partition?
[08:33] <apokryphos> compengi: have you been launching GUI programs with sudo?
[08:34] <kuzmaster> cyde: im 100% sure
[08:34] <compengi> apokryphos, what do you mean
[08:34] <mordof> alright, my friend made a program and wants me to compile install it, he asked me what my include dir is, how do i check that?
[08:34] <aG`Whitey_rG> is there a dvd release of ubuntu?
[08:34] <Cyde> kuzmaster: Okay, then maybe it's an okay idea if you really trust your devs.  I just don't have any experience with proftpd, sorry :-(
[08:34] <apokryphos> compengi: did you start any Graphical programs (specifically k3b) with sudo?
[08:34] <apokryphos> compengi: because, well, it looks like you did.
[08:34] <SliMM> there is a cd release of ubuntu
[08:34] <apokryphos> !kdesu | compengi
[08:34] <ubotu> compengi: In KDE, use kdesu to run graphical applications with root priveleges when you have to. Do *not* do sudo {GUIAPP}; you can muck up your permissions/config files. For what to use in GNOME, see !gksudo
[08:34] <kuzmaster> cyde: im the only one that KNOWS how to access it
[08:34] <carzzz215> is it bad to start GUI programs with sudo?
[08:34] <aG`Whitey_rG> there used to be a dvd, is there only a cd now?
[08:35] <linkrjh> My guess is no DVD release, as I do not see any on their website for download.
[08:35] <apokryphos> carzzz215: yes, you shouldn't.
[08:35] <Cyde> kuzmaster: Security through obscurity?
[08:35] <unimatrix9> reboot
[08:35] <compengi> apokryphos, i've just downloaded k3b and trying to run it =/
[08:35] <Cyde> kuzmaster: If you're going to be the only one using it, why not just use WinSCP or something like it?
[08:35] <apokryphos> compengi: as root? Or with sudo?
[08:35] <compengi> by clicking on the icon
[08:35] <compengi> apokryphos, in the applications list
[08:35] <apokryphos> compengi: actually, it might well have not been k3b
[08:35] <jerp> carld, I've heard that gksudo is the better option to use when root privs are required
[08:35] <carzzz215> why? and what if you need root privileges to run a GUI program?
[08:35] <Cyde> kuzmaster: That's what I use for the kinds of situations you're describing.  It doesn't need a separate server either ... it works right through sshd using ssh as a secure tunnel.
[08:36] <apokryphos> compengi: but at some other time you started a graphical app with sudo, and hence mucked up (i) permissions in ~/.kde and (ii) your DCOP sockets
[08:36] <jerp> carzzz215, I've heard that gksudo is the better option to use when root privs are required
[08:36] <kuzmaster> cyde: hmmmmmmm.......... ill look into it
[08:36] <Zaggynl> Hi, I'm looking for alternatives to Filemon and Netlimiter, are there any of those?
[08:36] <compengi> apokryphos, when it didn't run i tried to run it from the terminal by typing only k3b
[08:36] <compengi> and it gave me this result
[08:36] <Cyde> kuzmaster: You've used scp before, right?
[08:37] <kuzmaster> cyde: nope
[08:37] <carzzz215> interesting...what is the difference between sudo and gksudo?
[08:37] <Cyde> kuzmaster: I haven't bothered with ftp in many years now because it's yet another service that opens holes and isn't necessary.
[08:37] <apokryphos> compengi: like I said, then you started another graphical app with sudo before. Which you shouldn't have done.
[08:37] <Cyde> kuzmaster: scp is a command-line tool to securely copy files between remote locations and local locations.
[08:37] <Cyde> kuzmaster: It uses SSH as a tunnel.
[08:37] <compengi> apokryphos, so what should i do?
[08:37] <Cyde> kuzmaster: Various GUIs for scp exist, like WinSCP, that provide an FTP-alike interface.
[08:37] <apokryphos> compengi: never do it again :P. See the ubotu factoid. But for now, try changes all your home permissions
[08:37] <kuzmaster> cyde: hmmmmmmmmm.......... sounds good....... im downloading WinSCP now
[08:38] <Cyde> kuzmaster: It's very good, you'll like it.
[08:38] <apokryphos> compengi: sudo chown -R compengi:compengi /home/compengi
[08:38] <skold> hi im running beryl svn on ubuntu edgy. Beryl runs fine on gnome, but wont start on KDE but i don't know why could you help me?
[08:38] <kuzmaster> grrrrrrrrrrrrr
[08:38] <kuzmaster>  is source forge down for anyone?
[08:39] <compengi> apokryphos, oh i made gksudo to open .sh file and edit it that what i done with sudo =/
[08:39] <apokryphos> compengi: no, it looks like you definitely used sudo directly
[08:39] <kuzmaster> i cant get tohttp://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/
[08:39] <apokryphos> compengi: opening an .sh with root perms would never have given you that result
[08:39] <compengi> apokryphos, but it
[08:39] <compengi> apokryphos, but it's all what i have done with sudo command =/
[08:40] <apokryphos> compengi: the terminal says otherwise :)(
[08:40] <carzzz215> interesting...what is the difference between sudo and gksudo?
[08:40] <Cyde> kuzmaster: scp is good and simple when using it with people you trust because it just uses normal ssh accounts, e.g. your system accounts.  It doesn't replace a real ftp server because it doesn't have its own accounts ... so to make another account for someone to access scp with you have to make another system account.  You can set its shell to scp-only or whatever, but for a large number of different users, scp doesn't really make sense.
[08:40] <compengi> apokryphos, anyway after changing permissions will everything be fine?
[08:40] <Cyde> kuzmaster: But if it's just for you, scp makes perfect sense.
[08:40] <apokryphos> compengi: hopefully, unless dcop sockets in /tmp are mucked up too. We'll find out though
[08:40] <apokryphos> compengi: for kde apps just use kdesu in the future
[08:41] <compengi> apokryphos, then how to find out that everything is fine now?
[08:41] <compengi> and i have nothing to worry about :)
[08:42] <apokryphos> compengi: start k3b up again
[08:42] <jerp> gksudo is recommended when a graphical item is called up
[08:42] <compengi> apokryphos, i did and it's running
[08:43] <compengi> apokryphos, so conclusion everything is fine now :)
[08:43] <stoorty_> is there anything i can do to my gfx card in ubuntu that will make it require less power when im running on a battery?

[08:44] <Murchadh> !kdesu
[08:44] <ubotu> In KDE, use kdesu to run graphical applications with root priveleges when you have to. Do *not* do sudo {GUIAPP}; you can muck up your permissions/config files. For what to use in GNOME, see !gksudo

[08:44] <ahaller> hi. i have an intel core 2 duo chip. which cd release shout i install, the "Intel x86" or the "64-bit PC" release?
[08:45] <kuzmaster> ahaller: use the intel x86 version
[08:45] <kuzmaster> ahaller: its supported more
[08:45] <Murchadh> apokryphos, Is there a readme on the implications of using sudo instead?
[08:45] <ahaller> ok, i will
[08:46] <countervirus> im stoked i have a version of kubuntu with beryl running off my thumb drive
[08:46] <carzzz215> has any one had any problems with the "suspend" feature in Ubuntu?  I'm running ubuntu on a laptop. SOmetimes Suspend works, and other times it doesnt
[08:46] <apokryphos> Murchadh: maybe, try Google. Basically what happens, often with KDE programs, is that sudo (root) will take ownership of the application running, but it'll use the user's config files
[08:47] <apokryphos> Murchadh: hence the config files are rewritten with root perms, and a new user on next trying can't access those files. Similar thing with dcop sockets
[08:47] <Murchadh> apecat,
[08:49] <Valmarko> I just installed beagle but I can't find it
[08:49] <kuzmaster> cyde: when uploading a file to the http dir, i got a permissions error
[08:49] <Murchadh> apokryphos, Thanks! Been meaning to nail this down for a while. Have had problems with it before.
[08:49] <kuzmaster> so, do i need to change the chroot stuff to 777 for /var/www?
[08:49] <bur[n] er_> anyone know if there's an app out there that will let you copy & paste to a windows remote desktop session?  not files, but just the clipboard

[08:50] <kuzmaster> k, than

[08:51] <kuzmaster> bur[n] er_: i might use samba, but not just now, i want to get everything going, then ill set samba up

[08:52] <carzzz215> has any one had any problems with the "suspend" feature in Ubuntu?  I'm running ubuntu on a laptop. SOmetimes Suspend works, and other times it doesnt
[08:52] <kuzmaster> that, sorry for spamming :(
[08:52] <rogue780> carzzz215, I've never gotten suspend to work
[08:52] <stoorty_> yea carzzz215
[08:52] <phoenix87ta> carzzz215, who makes the laptop?
[08:53] <rogue780> or hibernate

[08:53] <kuzmaster> rambo3: i did chown www-data:www-data, and i got error "missing operand after `www-data:www-data' "
[08:53] <stoorty_> happens on my HP easynote too
[08:53] <carzzz215> so when you say it suspend never works...does your screen just blank out and then nothing?
[08:54] <kuzmaster> goodness i dont know
[08:54] <rambo3> kuzmaster, sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www
[08:54] <Cyde> kuzmaster: It's chown -R www-data:www-data <insert web directory here>
[08:54] <stoorty_> mine just shows random colours
[08:54] <rogue780> well I get an error message in text mode, and I have to restart
[08:54] <kuzmaster> cyde: ahhhhhhhhhh, thanx
[08:54] <lee2> why does the root partition need to be at least 2gb, is that the actual partition ubuntu will need ?
[08:54] <kuzmaster> chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www ?
[08:54] <Cyde> kuzmaster: www-data:www-data gives the user and group name respectively, but if you don't give it stuff to work on, it won't have anything to do.
[08:54] <Cyde> kuzmaster: That should work.
[08:54] <Cyde> kuzmaster: -R is for recursive
[08:54] <carzzz215> does anyone know how i can see a "verbose" mode when i do suspend so I can see where it starts to hang?
[08:55] <kuzmaster> k
[08:55] <phoenix87ta> carzzz215, how old is the n100x?
[08:55] <carzzz215> its been out about a year now
[08:55] <rogue780> does anyone know how to install unichrome pro drivers on ubuntu?
[08:55] <carzzz215> i got mine last month
[08:56] <phoenix87ta> carzzz215, check support.gateway.com for known issues with that laptop
[08:56] <kuzmaster> grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[08:56] <tideline> anyone know what the si and hi percentages are in the cpu line when you run top?
[08:57] <phoenix87ta> the site should ask you for your serial number.  did you get it directly from gateway or from a retail outlet?
[08:57] <carzzz215> well actually everything works very well on this gateway...although suspend and sound problems are my only problems...although a lot of people are having the same sound problem i am having
[08:57] <assasukasse> hi all, someone could tell me how to compile this? http://ar.linux.it/software/gunzets/
[08:57] <carzzz215> directly from gateway
[08:58] <killown> linux yet has support to write in ntfs partition?
[08:58] <phoenix87ta> carzzz215, then enter your serial number on the site, and it'll bring up any relevant support info for that laptop.  also, check for driver/bios updates
[08:58] <bur[n] er_> kuzmaster: chown www-data:www-data filename.html
[08:58] <carzzz215> the suspend and sound problems are only with ubuntu....i dual boot with windows and sound and suspend and fine in windows
[08:58] <bur[n] er_> killown: checkout fuse
[08:58] <bur[n] er_> !fuse
[08:58] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[08:58] <carzzz215> i should check for a bios update...good idea
[08:58] <LTjake> is /var/run purged on reboot?

[08:58] <kuzmaster> bur[n] er_: i want it for the whole dir
[08:58] <lee2> Ubuntu installer is demanding a SWAP partition, but with 2gb of ram, surely i wont need one ?
[08:59] <rogue780> can someone tell me how to add a kernel module?
[08:59] <assasukasse> rambo3 i asked the man that made it, works on xorg fine
[08:59] <carzzz215> i confused with the IRC...how do you choose my name and type to me...the text turns red
[08:59] <bur[n] er_> kuzmaster: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
[08:59] <phoenix87ta> carzzz215, you mean it automatically highlights messages meant for you?
[08:59] <igge> hello
[08:59] <carzzz215> yes
[09:00] <kuzmaster> thanx, ill give it a try
[09:00] <bur[n] er_> rogue780: it depends, modprobe is the command to load a module, but if you don't have it, it won't load
[09:00] <carzzz215> you just did it again phoenix lol...how?
[09:00] <bur[n] er_> rogue780: better bet is to ask about the hardware you're trying to setup
[09:00] <igge> is there a shell command that can swap the order of windows? i.e. bring a window on top of others?
[09:00] <w3ccv> carzzz215, name the person you are answering
[09:00] <w3ccv> not like this
[09:00] <phoenix87ta> carzzz215, it's a common IRC script incorporated into most clients.  if you enter the full name of your target, followed by a comma, it'll do that
[09:01] <bur[n] er_> igge: varies depending on your window manager
[09:01] <rambo3> assasukasse, then download read readme file , configure make install or make and insert module
[09:01] <carzzz215> phoenix87t, ok...did it work?
[09:01] <carzzz215> oops
[09:01] <rogue780> bur[n] er_, I have. I'm trying to get unichrome drivers working for unichrome pro IGP, and I downloaded the distro-nonspecific driver from via, but the instructions don't quite work with ubuntu.
[09:01] <carzzz215> phoenix87ta, ok...did it work?
[09:01] <rogue780> can someone tell me how to add a kernel module?
[09:01] <phoenix87ta> carzzz215, indeed it did
[09:01] <rogue780> does anyone know how to install unichrome pro drivers on ubuntu?
[09:01] <kuzmaster> grrrrrrrrrrr
[09:01] <igge> bur[n] er_: ok... i'm using gnome/metacity
[09:01] <kuzmaster> stupid permissions!
[09:01] <kuzmaster> its not working!
[09:01] <bur[n] er_> rogue780: wish I could, check the wiki by chance?
[09:01] <kuzmaster> !permissions
[09:01] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[09:01] <rogue780> bur[n] er_, numerous times
[09:02] <carzzz215> phoenix87ta, sweet...is there any shortcut for doing that? some people have really long complex names?
[09:02] <bur[n] er_> igge: i'm not saying I know, but more to the point, your question should be about metacity's ability to do it via term
[09:02] <igge> bur[n] er_: if you know of ANY window manager where it works I can change wm just got get it to work
[09:02] <rambo3> rogue780, is driver in kernel ?
[09:02] <igge> ok
[09:02] <w3ccv> carzzz215, start the name , then hit tab - it will autocomplete, but might pick the wrong name, try a longer form
[09:02] <rogue780> rambo3, not that I know of
[09:02] <phoenix87ta> w3ccv, thanks, I didn't know that one
[09:02] <p33k4y> what is gnome-app-install ?
[09:02] <igge> anyone who knows of a way to swap the order of windows in metacity using shell commands?
[09:02] <rambo3> rogue780, then find it make it and insmod
[09:03] <p33k4y> does it use apt-get ?
[09:03] <bur[n] er_> igge: alt+tab works for me :)  sorry I don't know the term command
[09:03] <carzzz215> w3ccv, ahhh it just worked on your name...thanks :)
[09:03] <rogue780> I'm kinda new, and people haven't been able to help me with it
[09:03] <rogue780> insmod?
[09:03] <w3ccv> carzzz215, like for carzzz215 carld is the default for car
[09:03] <johny5> Silly question, can I mount a networked dvd burner in order to burn things on it?
[09:03] <w3ccv> carzzz215, mike
[09:03] <igge> bur[n] er_: heh.. :) I need to do it from a script
[09:03] <bur[n] er_> insmod is like modprobe, but doesn't check for dependencies like modprobe does
[09:03] <bur[n] er_> modprobe > insmod
[09:03] <carzzz215> w3ccv, thanks
[09:03] <phoenix87ta> having difficulty burning CD-R under Ubuntu Edgy.  After selecting files to be burned, I'm asked to insert a blank CD-R.  I've got one in, and it recognizes it as a blank insofar as Ubuntu is concerned, but the burning process fails to recognize it.  anyone seen anything like this, and know a fix for it?
[09:04] <bur[n] er_> igge: I think you can with fluxbox, but it's been ages since I've played with it
[09:04] <kuzmaster> should i be doing somthing like chmod to change the permissions?
[09:04] <rogue780> would I put it in the /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic folder and then build it using ./configure make install?
[09:04] <bur[n] er_> phoenix87ta: what's your burning app?
[09:04] <bur[n] er_> phoenix87ta: use gnomebaker?
[09:04] <rogue780> rambo3, above is for you
[09:05] <phoenix87ta> bur[n] er_: using serpentine, mostly, or whatever's native to ubuntu
[09:05] <sparrw> I have a PCL printer installed, my Firefox print properties dialog says Letter, but the printer is complaining it has no A4 paper.  Help?
[09:05] <rambo3> if your going to compile /usr/src is good area to do that from not necessery but a good practice
[09:06] <tovella> sparrw: you may have to change the gnome printer settings.
[09:07] <sparrw> tovella: im using kde
[09:07] <tovella> sparrw: ok, the kde printer settings.
[09:07] <kuzmaster> hey, if this helps anyone, here is the output from "chmod -l /var" drwxr-xr-x  4 www-data www-data 4096 2006-12-06 21:29 www
[09:07] <kuzmaster> so, what do i need to do so i can put files there via ftp/scp?
[09:08] <bur[n] er_> kuzmaster: via your ftp or sftp client, right click the file and chmod it
[09:08] <kuzmaster> bur[n] er_:its repiles with a permissions error
[09:09] <phoenix87ta> bur[n] er_, would gnomebaker work better than serpentine or native burning?
[09:09] <bur[n] er_> phoenix87ta: possibly
[09:09] <phoenix87ta> k
[09:09] <drcode> hi all
[09:09] <kuzmaster> bur[n] er_:Error message from server: Permission denied
[09:09] <rsl> Is there any way to get the file upload dialog box in Firefox to show thumbnails?
[09:09] <drcode> I try to use wvdial
[09:09] <tovella> sparrw: i haven't used KDE for a very long time - but if my memory if correct, there should be somewhere that you can change the properties of the printer.  look for a tab that indicates the paper type & change it.
[09:09] <rambo3> if your goind to upload to that dir  you need write permission for the rest
[09:09] <drcode> from linux client to linux server
[09:09] <drcode> the logon is ok
[09:10] <drcode> but cannot find ppp command?
[09:10] <drcode> any idea?

[09:18] <cheatersrealm> rogue780: you mean like modprobe?
[09:18] <cheatersrealm> rogue780: or install it?
[09:19] <Akez> how can i change a file in /etc/apt/ ?
[09:19] <Akez> its read-only
[09:19] <Akez> and im admin
[09:20] <jamieoliver22> hi
[09:20] <jvolkman> Akez, sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:20] <kitche> Akez: admin is user admin or root?
[09:21] <jamieoliver22> could anyone help me please? I am getting an 'error 17' when running GRUB?
[09:21] <Akez> wah?
[09:21] <Akez> and thanks jvolkman
[09:22] <cheatersrealm> Akez: if it's read only, and you are actually root, then the permissions need to be changed.  if you are not actually root, then you become root using 'sudo' and then edit the file as root
[09:22] <ezenu> Anyone know of a good UML drawing program (especially for class diagrams)? prefer if it saves in a cross-compatible format with other apps
[09:22] <cheatersrealm> ezenu: dia
[09:22] <Halcy0n> ezenu: I've always used dia.
[09:23] <kitche> jamieoliver22: Solution
[09:23] <kitche> This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.
[09:23] <kitche> Be sure to check your root(x,y) settings in your grub.conf.
[09:23] <kitche> Also, if you are trying to boot Windows, make sure that your grub.conf file has the root (hdX,Y) (or rootnoverify (hdX,Y)) and chainloader (hdX,Y)+1 in it.
[09:23] <jvolkman> ezenu, umbrello is uml-specific
[09:23] <kitche> sorry was meant to be one line :(
[09:23] <ezenu> cheatersrealm, Halcy0n ok, I'll try. I didn't realize it could be used for UML, easily
[09:23] <jamieoliver22> thanks.. im fairly new to ubuntu and linux, but ill have a go
[09:24] <cheatersrealm> ezenu: use the UML toolset
[09:24] <cheatersrealm> ezenu: it's not 'easy' but UML isn't easy, so that's why
[09:24] <kitche> jamieoliver22: menu.lst is in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:25] <kitche> jamieoliver22: well /boot/grub
[09:25] <rogue780> cheatersrealm, well I aparently need to compile the dang thing (it keeps saying kernel source not found) and then get it to load with the kernel. unless someone else has a magic bullet for unichrome
[09:25] <jamieoliver22> thanks, i did notice it on the forums actually, but i couldnt open it
[09:25] <jamieoliver22> kitche, could i possibly speak to you in a PM please?
[09:25] <jamclx> hey, anyone know how I can browse my wine files from ubuntu? thanks :)

[09:29] <Hexxoo> Installed Linux Mint and it runs amarok fine, but when I try installing it with the packet manager it just brings me an error about not working with amd64 :/

[09:30] <mwozniak> zac1, use the mount command

[09:41] <xplic1t> i currently have php5.1.6 installed using apt-get, but i require php5.2.  can i upgrade using apt-get? i found .deb's @ packages.dotdeb.org/dists/stable/php5/binary-i386/  should i uninstall using apt-get, then reinstall using dpkg?
[09:41] <Sp4rKy> please, i want to change some ulimit parameters
[09:42] <Sp4rKy> i can change them with root
[09:42] <mc44> soundray: oh I dont think it goes far enouigh :)

[09:42] <Obstfliege> soundray, big thx !
[09:43] <soundray> mc44: :)
[09:43] <soundray> Hexxoo: what do you get when you type in a terminal 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install gnumeric'
[09:43] <Obstfliege> soundray,  can you also tell me how i can add folders to "Places" in Main Menu
[09:44] <soundray> Obstfliege: no, I never use that menu ;)
[09:44] <Obstfliege> soundray, ok ;-)
[09:44] <soundray> Obstfliege: I would look in Nautilus preferences, though (that's the File Browser)
[09:45] <boot_manager> Witam!
[09:45] <Hexxoo> hmm
[09:45] <Hexxoo> it's stuck at 99%
[09:45] <soundray> Hexxoo: is that with the command I gave you?
[09:45] <Hexxoo> just says "connecting to is.archuve.ubuntu.com" and nothing happens
[09:45] <Hexxoo> ye
[09:46] <Hexxoo> that's with the command you gave me
[09:46] <Hexxoo> timed out
[09:46] <soundray> Hexxoo: give me a minute...
[09:46] <Hexxoo> will do
[09:47] <lee2> why do i get "waiting for root device"
[09:47] <lee2> ... ...
[09:47] <lee2> and then it just stops
[09:48] <soundray> lee2: misconfiguration in /boot/grub/menu.lst (look for wrong root= statement)
[09:48] <lee2> soundray, but i have ICH8 does that matter
[09:49] <lee2> soundray, how can i get to that ?
[09:49] <soundray> lee2: let me just finish helping Hexxoo
[09:49] <felixfoertsch> Good evening. I have a problem installing Ubuntu on an ASUS Laptop. It has a Widescreen monitor and is stuck at the point where you have to set the resolution of the xserver.
[09:50] <weswh-> I have an external USB hard drive that I would like to be able to plug back and forth between my linux machine and my windows laptop for file storage. what file system will be best for this (photos, music, documents) - and are there any significant disadvantages? My inclination is FAT32?
[09:50] <felixfoertsch> I can select the resolution - but after clicking "continue" it jumps back to exact the same screen.
[09:51] <shwag> if I do  'reset'   the screen clears and says  "Erase is backspace."  Then, when I use vim, my backspace key doesn't work. How do fix this?
[09:51] <kitche> weswh- fat32/vfat unless you want to install 3rd party drivers in windows
[09:51] <black__> Italian?
[09:51] <soundray> Hexxoo: I suggest you try to connect to the de. mirror instead of is. Do 'sudo sed 's/is\./de\./g' /etc/apt/sources.list'
[09:52] <soundray> Hexxoo: everything inside the outer quotes -- then the previous command again.
[09:52] <Hexxoo> ok
[09:53] <Hexxoo> that last thing is still timing out
[09:53] <Hexxoo> it's the same ip as before
[09:54] <weswh-> kitche - if i wanted to install 3rd party drivers what would my options be? and is 'vfat' another option besides fat32? not familiar with that one
[09:54] <soundray> Hexxoo: the sed command hasn't worked then... hold on...
[09:54] <Hexxoo> wait
[09:54] <kitche> weswh-: vfat is what linux calls fat32
[09:55] <kitche> weswh-: fs-driver.org for the windows ext3 drivers
[09:55] <Hexxoo> I changed in system -> administration -> software sources from Icelandic to Main Server
[09:55] <Hexxoo> And now it works
[09:55] <weswh-> kitche - thank you!
[09:56] <felixfoertsch> Could anyone help me with my problem? I try to install Ubuntu Edgy Efty on an ASUS M6000 Notebook - and it's stuck on setting the resolution of the xserver.
[09:56] <soundray> Hexxoo: installations work, too?
[09:56] <Hexxoo> waiting for this thing in the terminal to finish
[09:56] <soundray> lee2: how did you get into this situation with the boot problem?
[09:57] <dgirlsdemlover> hey yall
[09:58] <Hexxoo> yay
[09:58] <knapp__> Does anyone know how I can get EasyTag to support WMA, M4A.
[09:58] <knapp__> ?
[09:58] <Hexxoo> it seems to be working :o
[09:58] <[GuS] > is back..
[09:58] <jamesbrose> How can i change the text that comes up when sombody logs into my server with ssh?
[09:58] <soundray> Hexxoo: something must be wrong in Iceland, then ;)
[09:58] <Hexxoo> atleast now it lets me remove existing packages
[09:59] <Hexxoo> thanks alot for your time :)
[09:59] <Huffalump> How can I fix a problem where the X server won't start?
[09:59] <madmetal> r
[09:59] <mc44> Huffalump: what error are you getting?
[09:59] <Huffalump> I've checked the support section of the Ubuntu site, including the details about the August flub.
[09:59] <wildchild> :s I clicked on a song in xmms and note appeared: Please check that: your sound card is configured properly, you have the correct output plugin selected, no other program is blocking the soundcqard....
[10:00] <georgy> Huffalump,: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:00] <soundray> jamesbrose: edit /etc/motd
[10:00] <blekos> hello ppl
[10:00] <kitche> wildchild: probably esd (sound server) is using your sound or another program
[10:00] <Huffalump> mc44, it says "failed to start the x server"
[10:00] <Huffalump> mc44, and then something about a log file
[10:00] <blekos> i got 2 usb sticks one is kingston and the other non branded
[10:00] <Huffalump> mc44, which I don't know how to read
[10:00] <Huffalump> georgy, I will try that right now.
[10:01] <wildchild> kitche: how can I awoid this "sound server" ?
[10:01] <blekos> kingston is recognised by both win & linux, but the non branded is completed ignored by linux (ubuntu) any ideas?
[10:01] <kitche> wildchild: disable it but not sure how to do it with esd
[10:01] <Jeeva> syntax to see the uptime of my PPPoE connection ?
[10:01] <wildchild> don't even know what or where is esd
[10:01] <soundray> blekos: run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and look for errors while you plug it in
[10:01] <georgy> blekos: watch in dmesg for output
[10:02] <soundray> wildchild: System-Preferences-Sound
[10:02] <owen_> does anyone know how i can burn a .dmg image file (mac cd image) onto a cd on Ubuntu and/or convert to another image format i.e iso, mds, bin/cue, etc.
[10:03] <Huffalump> georgy, I recognized all the questions from what I've done twice already
[10:03] <p33k4y> is the gnome-app-install database updated when i update the synaptic database or it's a different one?
[10:03] <soundray> owen_: I don't think it's possible -- it's a closed format
[10:04] <wildchild> soundray: in system settings >sound system ->hardware ->select the audio device = auto select = should I change this?
[10:04] <georgy> Huffalump, : what is the error message
[10:04] <Huffalump> georgy, however this time, instead of Moniter (something) Advanced {which was default choice} ...I chose medium, changed refresh rates, and now it appears to work.
[10:04] <Huffalump> georgy, so I believe this last config did the trick
[10:04] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys Im using beryl with aiglx, sometimes when I right click the title bar the window decorator crashes causing me to have to reload it again?? Is there any reason for this and how could it be fixed
[10:04] <blekos> no error message
[10:04] <soundray> wildchild: no, in System-Preferences-Sound, disable ESD
[10:04] <Jeeva> How can i see how long my pppoe connection has been active ?
[10:04] <n00bie> hello everyone.
[10:04] <Huffalump> georgy, it *did* give an error!  and *then* unexpectedly launched into x windows

[10:04] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic.  It does not currently support Edgy sources.  When asked if it will, the reply was "maybe".
[10:04] <soundray> lee2: still here?
[10:04] <n00bie> I have a question
[10:04] <georgy> Huffalump,  : You mean you have the  xserver working ?
[10:05] <Huffalump> georgy, the error didn't stay on the screen long enough to see.  it was that blue screen with garbled characters.  Yes, I belive so.
[10:05] <soundray> Sorry, no n00bie questions here
[10:05] <n00bie> How many times can a HDD be partitions
[10:05] <w3ccv> n00bie, nobody has an anser if you don't ask it.
[10:05] <n00bie> ?
[10:05] <soundray> n00bie: just kidding, go ahead
[10:05] <Huffalump> georgy, thanks for the handholding
[10:05] <Huffalump> mc44, thank you for the response!
[10:05] <n00bie> er partitioned.
[10:05] <soundray> n00bie: it depends on the kernel version
[10:06] <cmweb> where is the source file located
[10:06] <kitche> n00bie: 4 primary partitions
[10:06] <Jeeva> How can i see how long my pppoe connection has been active ?

[10:07] <aszharon> good evening. i read, that it is ok to install a 32bit-version of ubuntu on a 64bit supporting computer. but is it ok to install a 64bit-version of ubuntu on a 32bit supporting computer, i mean: can such a system work stable?
[10:07] <soundray> n00bie: braindead leftover from DOS times
[10:07] <LjL>  /etc/apt
[10:07] <cmweb> ljl, sorry ljl, i will next time. I just thought that every one would like to know the answer
[10:08] <n00bie> I want to be able to use ubuntu, mandriva, possibly an older version of windows.. and have a partition that both os can read/write and pull from.
[10:08] <n00bie> help me.
[10:08] <jon_doe> there.
[10:08] <LjL> the answer, maybe, "sorry i don't know anything about", i doubt it.
[10:08] <LjL> anyway /etc/apt/sources.list

[10:09] <mc44> jon_doe: yes you can have 4 partitions and a swap partition, that is fine
[10:09] <apokryphos> jon_doe: make windows fat32, and leave ubuntu as default
[10:09] <apokryphos> !ext3
[10:09] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[10:09] <soundray> jon_doe: it's rude to ask a question and then change nicks
[10:09] <fuffe> I have no problem in committing generally.. but when moving trunk to branches/name I always get a 403 error
[10:10] <soundray> wildchild: close that dialog and read my previous line *very* carefully
[10:10] <dogmeat> which ftp client would ppl recommend?
[10:10] <jon_doe> so like partition it like this: 20gb for Ubuntu, 20 for Mandriva, 20 for win, and 60gb where all OS's can read/write to and from.
[10:10] <NicksteSA> in what repository can I find kismet?
[10:10] <cmweb> ljl, why would the gksudo gedit etc/apt/sources.list give me a blank file even though i have packages avalibal?
[10:10] <dogmeat> ftp client with gui?
[10:10] <georgy> dogmeat : gftp
[10:10] <dogmeat> thanks
[10:10] <LjL> cmweb: because it's /etc/apt/sources.list and not etc/apt/sources.list
[10:10] <kitche> cmweb: try /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:10] <mc44> jon_doe: yes, that should be fine
[10:10] <cmweb> ops forgot to take off the /
[10:11] <jon_doe> and both should work?
[10:11] <mc44> jon_doe: both what?
[10:11] <jon_doe> os's read/write to the extended partition
[10:11] <Valmarko_> hello. What aplication I have to use top chm documents?

[10:16] <blekos> i use gnome, but i got install k3b (is there and alternative for gnome?). When I use K3b and change workspace the K3b icon still appears on the bottom taskbar.
[10:17] <blekos> Does this have to do with K3b being a KDE app?
[10:17] <ubunul> is someone using xampp and cacti on the same machine ?
[10:17] <LjL> blekos: gnomebaker is the closest gnome equivalent, i suppose

[10:19] <blekos> any suggestion for best burning soft for gnome?
[10:19] <LjL> !best
[10:19] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[10:19] <blekos> i would like to mess up my sys with constant installs etc
[10:19] <soundray> blekos: you would?
[10:19] <soundray> blekos: anyway, there's little danger of that. This isn't windows after all.
[10:20] <soundray> blekos: for me, the nautilus burner is best
[10:20] <blekos> lol, well i'm just trying not to be lost among applications
[10:20] <blekos> cause of my limited time, i try to switch to linux with not too much hasle

[10:21] <blekos> i c
[10:21] <soundray> blekos: k3b is the full-featured one I reckon
[10:21] <PhantomePhreak> does anybody know, how can I configure ubuntu to login anybody automatically? (sry 4 my english^^)
