[10:10] <vinu> 56
[10:11] <test1234> how can i come back to the "normal" installation ?

[10:31] <hwood> amio, you can delete all your .gnome* and .nautal* files out of your home directory, then restart x (ctrl+alt+backspace).
[10:31] <Gothfunc> test1234: you're probably not getting many responses to your pleas because you're not describing a problem.  without specifying a problem, no one can solve it can they?  detail what you did, what happens, error messages etc.
[10:31] <z0man> Anyone here use Steam?

[10:32] <flake>  I tried to play wolf et while having my music playing, but the sound is muted in ET.  Is there a way I can do both
[10:32] <amio> test 1234 if you did and did not work try this sudo apt-get install -f -y x-window-*
[10:33] <Evanlec>  I want to convert AVI to DVD, what app should I use?
[10:33] <whonicca> hwood, still a no go
[10:33] <whonicca> why would it just randomly disappear, i havent installed or messed with any config files
[10:33] <hwood> whonicca is /dev/sdb there?
[10:34] <test1234> @ amio ok and now?
[10:34] <amio> hwood thank you very much it worked out just by three clicks. really linux needs a try
[10:34] <amio> test 1234 what you still can not get anything?

[10:34] <amio> thank you hwood
[10:35] <hwood> amio, my pleasure.

[10:35] <|Lunar_Lamp|> !latex

[10:35] <ubotu> tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX
[10:35] <JosefK> Heh, it's weird, usually I'd be tracking the beta by now, but with feisty I don't really feel the need.  Can anyone report any experiences with gutsy?
[10:35] <test1234> @ amio i typed      sudo apt-get install -f -y x-window-*     and now what now?
[10:35] <DigeratiX> I seemed to have messed up dansgaurdian and a few other apps, how do I TOTALLY remove and start over without any type of scraggly stuff left over that a fresh install may pick up on? Is it 'apt-get --purge appname'or 'apt-get remove' then 'apt-get clean' ??
[10:35] <culprit> !glxcompgmgr
[10:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glxcompgmgr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:36] <amio> it should start downloading package then installing them?
[10:36] <scarpia> r irc.esper.net
[10:36] <mc44> DigeratiX: --purge should do it
[10:36] <amio> are you seeing it works on the terminal? or it said something like error? or command not found?
[10:36] <test1234> yes hes done
[10:36] <marx2k_> I need to figure out a way of making a menu to pop up BEFORE X loads on boot to insert different xorg.conf's depending on what computer Im putting it into in school
[10:36] <amio> test 1234: can I know please what you have? burned a cd with text installation? got cd from ubuntu by post? burned live cd with installation?
[10:36] <test1234> it tooks 1 sek but    it didnt fix anything
[10:37] <ompaul> DigeratiX, apt-get remove --purge foo /./. note that if any of the aps are desktop they most likely have directories in home directories, and a gotcha is that if the app is being removed and it leaves stuff in place it should warn so use sudo updated and locate for the app name after the "purge"
[10:37] <amio> test 1234 and what version you have? 7.4?
[10:37] <test1234> yes
[10:37] <hwood> whonicca: it looks like it is there just not mounted. did you try mounting it agian?
[10:37] <whonicca> no
[10:37] <whonicca> i did try rebooting
[10:37] <whonicca> thinking that would take care of it but it did not
[10:37] <hwood> whonicca, it it
[10:37] <amio> test 1234 but first answer me for my question more up
[10:37] <whonicca> hwood, ? it it ?
[10:38] <hwood> whonicca: ... 's not in the /etc/fstab then it will not mount on boot.
[10:38] <test1234> i just download ubunto v. 7.04   and want to install it on my hard disk

[10:40] <rocunreal> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run
[10:40] <rocunreal> wait
[10:40] <marx2k_> test1234: did you check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:40] <rocunreal> bash: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run: command not found
[10:40] <marx2k_> whonicca: thats what I do, but whats your proble,?
[10:40] <test1234> sorry i am like a linux noob
[10:40] <vroom> hey dudes who uses LAMIP here?
[10:40] <marx2k_> rocunreal:  try ./<command>
[10:40] <mc44> rocunreal: why are you using drivers from nvidia?
[10:40] <hwood> whonicca, you need an intery: /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs rw,user 0 0
[10:41] <whonicca> marx2k_, my sdb1 drive is not loading
[10:41] <mc44> rocunreal: did you try the Restricted Driver Manager?
[10:41] <rocunreal> mc44, no i haven't
[10:41] <rocunreal> but i need these specif drivers
[10:41] <hwood> whonicca: before you do that test with `mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs`
[10:41] <mc44> rocunreal: why?
[10:41] <marx2k_> whonicca: I'd give literal device names
[10:41] <test1234> how can i check this /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[10:41] <marx2k_> does anyone know what the advantage of UUID is?
[10:41] <rocunreal> bash: /NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run: No such file or directory
[10:42] <mrga_cro> ok installed support for Chinese language but still qsopcast is on chinese version
[10:42] <marx2k_> test1234: go to a terminal, type "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[10:42] <marx2k_> rocun: notice the "."
[10:42] <marx2k_> ./<filename>
[10:42] <rocunreal> o
[10:42] <rocunreal> sorry
[10:42] <rocunreal> let me try that
[10:42] <marx2k_> no problem
[10:42] <flake> rocunreal - I tried the nvidia drivers too but found the ones in synaptic are best to use for stability
[10:42] <|Lunar_Lamp|> Hmm, I'm sure I can remember some kind of wysiwyg latex editor in ubuntu repo's - anyone remember the name of it? A search doesn't seem to be revealing it to me.
[10:42] <rocunreal> bash: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run: No such file or directory
[10:42] <CaptainFrisbee> |Lucky|, Lyx ?
[10:42] <rocunreal> I need proformance
[10:42] <marx2k_> the problem with the drivers from NVidia seems to be you need to reinstall them every time you rebppt
[10:43] <mc44> rocunreal: using the restricted manager is much easier, and its the same driver...
[10:43] <marx2k_> rocunreal: "sudo sh ./<filename>"
[10:43] <rocunreal> i lost my Driver information and had to restore to some VGA or something in Xserver with no GUI
[10:43] <Stormx2> marx2k_: Bad advice.
[10:43] <|Lucky|> CaptainFrisbee what?
[10:43] <marx2k_> Stormx2: Im just giving him an answer to his question
[10:43] <marx2k_> and Im pretty sure the NVidia installer needs to be run as root
[10:43] <Stormx2> marx2k_: Indeed you are, but you're not helping him fix the problem.
[10:44] <CaptainFrisbee> |Lucky|, sorry I wanted to answer |Lunar_Lamp|
[10:44] <amio> test 1234 I have sent you private message you got it?
[10:44] <marx2k_> his problem is he wants to install the installer
[10:44] <|Lucky|> CaptainFrisbee no problem ;) bad scripts ^^
[10:44] <yell0w> hwood, so that ar-161 drivers would work similarly for am-900 ?
[10:44] <rocunreal> rocunreal@josh-desktop:~$ "sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run

[10:44] <rocunreal> thats what i get a   (   "   >   "
[10:44] <CaptainFrisbee> |Lunar_Lamp|, is Lyx the app you're looking for?
[10:44] <marx2k_> rocunreal: lose the quotes :)
[10:44] <koer> anyone know how i can increse my fps in videogames , im running nvidia geforce 7800
[10:44] <Stormx2> rocunreal: What ubuntu version are you using?
[10:45] <defrysk> ubalavieveble
[10:45] <rocunreal> ive tried with no Quotes
[10:45] <|Lunar_Lamp|> CaptainFrisbee, kile and lyx seem to be possibly the ones I'm after - yes. :-)
[10:45] <marx2k_> test1234: does it give any other errors? try "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE"
[10:45] <rocunreal> 64bit latest version of Ubuntu
[10:45] <dgjones> rocunreal, the benefit of using the driver from synaptic is that if there's a kernel update, you won't have problems restarting your x server next time your computer restarts
[10:45] <hwood> yell0w: it's as close as your going to get. If it does not work am afraid you may be out of luck until sharp starts writing opensource drivers.
[10:45] <orb> Hey I'm trying to setup the graphics drivers for my 8800 and every time I enable the binary drivers in the restricted drivers manager and restart, when I restart it can't initialize X and just gives me a command prompt.  Does anyone know how to fix this WITHOUT using Envy?
[10:45] <yell0w> hwood, ok thanks
[10:45] <marx2k_> hell, I have to reinstall the NVidia driver from NVidia even if there IS no kernel update... it happens on the subsequent reboot
[10:45] <Stormx2> rocunreal: You can use the restricted manager to install binary X drivers. System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager. That's the recommended method.
[10:45] <rocunreal> ive used a Driver from Synpatic and it gave me problems  :(
[10:46] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Oh, really? What problems?
[10:46] <rocunreal> I had to get my GUI back without an GUI
[10:46] <rocunreal> took me 20min
[10:46] <marx2k_> rocunreal: You dont really need to 'install' anything, just active the restricted video driver
[10:46] <marx2k_> activate
[10:46] <mc44> orb: feisty doesn't have the driver which supports the 8800 so you have to use envy or install from nvidia yourself
[10:46] <test1234> no there is no other erros
[10:46] <rocunreal> the Drivers i used to synatic screwed my drivers up and my nvidia ones i have right now aren't working they screw me up
[10:46] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Did you use the restricted drivers manager?
[10:47] <test1234> there are no other errors
[10:47] <rocunreal> yea if i did that it would turn on the bad drivers
[10:47] <rocunreal> i got the bad drivers from synatic
[10:47] <orb> mc44: Ugh on the ubuntu website it says the 8800 GTX is supported :\  I used Envy before and it fucked my box up so bad i had to reformat
[10:47] <marx2k_> test1234: can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log?
[10:47] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Could you give me your card model, please?
[10:47] <Taco> Woah
[10:47] <rocunreal> okay
[10:47] <MongooseWA> how would i go about patching my kernel with a -ck patch?
[10:47] <test1234> em
[10:47] <test1234> how ?

[10:48] <rocunreal> I am not a computer newbie too i built this comp from the ground up but i am no linux pro dats for sure
[10:48] <Stormx2> rocunreal: I know for a fact that is supported under restricted drivers manager. My friend has the exact same card
[10:48] <orb> sry about the language, hopefully you would know how ridiculously frustrating it is when using ap rogram messes you up beyond repair so you have to reformat
[10:48] <test1234> but the problem is that the  messages are on another pc
[10:48] <orb> mc44: so what WOULD you recommend?
[10:48] <marx2k_> test1234: Ohhhh
[10:48] <ompaul> orb, follow the documentation on the website
[10:49] <orb> ompaul: I did, it says to enable the binary drivers, which doesn't work
[10:49] <rocunreal> Storm2, but i installed drivers via the Synatic thing and that changed those drivers to something else
[10:49] <Taco> Hmmm, hey guys heres an question, my moniter supports 75 frames a second but it only goes up to 55, anyway to override it to 75?
[10:49] <ompaul> orb, there is a manual 8800 install on the site
[10:49] <marx2k_> test1234: at what point in the liveCD does it crap oit:
[10:49] <marx2k_> out
[10:49] <test1234> i cant type here the compleat    /var/log/Xorg.0.log     more then 300 lines -.-
[10:49] <orb> ompaul: oh really?  Where?  Can you give me a link please?
[10:49] <amio> I installed all the x-* packages and all x-window-* packages then all x-window-system-* packages then xserver-* packages and xserver-*-* packages
[10:49] <amio>  so make like this and I hope it will work out some how
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y x-*
[10:49] <amio>  then after it finishes make all these one by one
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y x-window-*
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y x-window-system-*
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y xserver-*
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y xserver-*-*
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y xserver
[10:49] <amio>  then after all restart should start with graphics if also not type sudo apt-get install gdm

[10:50] <Stormx2> rocunreal: The restricted drivers manager does a bit of extra work. Backup your xorg.conf and then if something goes wrong, just restore it.
[10:50] <rocunreal> Stormx2, something does go wrong
[10:50] <neocid> Hi all, When I set an update by synaptique of my wholes packages, it downloads then crash maybe 30 secondes laters. The window stay in gray and inclickable. Is onyone can help me ?
[10:50] <gnomefreak> not a good idea to use -y and why are you using -f that is to fix a broken package not force and you nomrally cant use force with -y
[10:50] <orb> ompaul: oh really?  Where?  Can you give me a link please?
[10:50] <rocunreal> Stormx2, something does go wrong when i put tried to turn on 3D Effects
[10:50] <Taco> Ok, thanks guys let me give that a try right now.
[10:50] <amio> I wrote something on private to him he did not got so I paste it here
[10:51] <rocunreal> Stormx2, it wanted me to restart my pc and i lost my GUI
[10:51] <ompaul> amio, -f and -y is silly - you will install conflicting packages
[10:51] <mc44> orb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[10:51] <Jowi> neocid, do you get any error if you use apt-get instead?
[10:51] <ompaul> amio, it is a bot
[10:51] <rocunreal> Stormx2, so im just guessing if i click check on that box it will enable the same drivers the OS wanted me to enable when i clicked on my 3D effects stuff
[10:51] <ompaul> orb, as per mc44
[10:51] <orb> mc44 and ompaul: thanks, I guess I'll follow that then
[10:51] <amio> ompul anyway he had trouble which I had myself and I made this and it worked out well
[10:51] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Well, what are you trying to do otherwise?
[10:52] <marx2k_> rocunreal: check your xorg.conf for:
[10:52] <marx2k_>         Option  "VideoOverlay" "on"
[10:52] <rocunreal> Stormx2, and the Reason i want newer drivers is because my comp wasn't working good at all with the 3D effects and i got a power house PC
[10:52] <neocid> jowi , no I don't get any erreurs
[10:52] <marx2k_> Option  "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
[10:52] <amio> and he doesnt know many in linux as I see so he needs more easy way to run that ubuntu with graphics
[10:52] <jpastore> oin #crossover
[10:52] <jpastore> sorry
[10:52] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Your running that script would have enabled the exact same drivers. You either leave your current drivers alone, or install the binary drivers the easy way, or the hard way
[10:52] <mc44> orb: or use gutsy, but thats still alpha :)
[10:52] <orb> mc44: what's gutsy?
[10:52] <amio> test 1234 I am going did you see what I have written to you or not?
[10:52] <ompaul> !gutsy | orb
[10:52] <ubotu> orb: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[10:53] <orb> mc44: does gutsy support the 8800?
[10:53] <koer> how can i specify how much RAM my videocard has ?
[10:53] <rocunreal> Stormx2, you think i should revert to the updated drivers that give me no GUI?
[10:53] <hwood> I get this: http://pastebin.com/m6e32d681 when I plugin my treo has some run into this before?
[10:53] <amio> any one helps me with some messenger works with voice on linux and can also run on windows?
[10:53] <marx2k_> koer: "lspci -v "
[10:53] <cosmodad> wasn't there some tool to ease new service creation?
[10:53] <test1234> ok now i installed all the packeges
[10:53] <mrga_cro> nobody here don't use sopcast
[10:53] <test1234> now now?
[10:54] <orb> mc44: does gutsy natively support the 8800?
[10:54] <rocunreal> Stormx2, when i tried to turn on Desktop effects it wanted to enable my nvidia drivers
[10:54] <amio> or even making voice call from any normal messenger on ubuntu on google talk?
[10:54] <rsl> anyone here using gutsy and compiz' shift switcher?
[10:54] <Jowi> neocid, when you upgrade with apt-get. no errors. ok. and if you start synaptic from the terminal "gksudo synaptic" and do the upgrade, do you get any errors in the terminal?
[10:54] <Geeunkown> anyone know how or what I need in order to get firefox to play videos extensions ..
[10:54] <test1234> now i have    ubuntu@ubuntu: ~$
[10:54] <mc44> orb: it has 100.14.11
[10:54] <rocunreal> Stormx2, so i thought ok then i restarted my PC and no GUI
[10:54] <orb> mc44: what's that?
[10:54] <marx2k_> test1234: huh?
[10:54] <hwood> lsusb will display the treo as pluged in for the 60 secondes /var/log/messages says it's there, then it's gone.
[10:54] <marx2k_> test1234: "startx"
[10:54] <amio> test 1234 did you get my private message?
[10:54] <rocunreal> Stormx2, are you telling me that retricted drivers manger will turn on different drivers?
[10:54] <Ademan>  how might a gnome user set the current qt theme? other than by creating a .qtrc(if avoidable)
[10:55] <koer> how can i boost my fps in a videogame , tehy are too low ( geforce 7800)
[10:55] <Stormx2> rocunreal: They all install the same drivers. Backup your xorg.conf and try it. If you don't want to, then don't. If you want 3D, the best way to do it is with Restricted Drivers Manager
[10:55] <koer> 2-10 fps :(
[10:55] <mc44> orb: yeah, its the latest nvidia driver
[10:55] <Stormx2> rocunreal: cya
[10:55] <Ademan> koer: what game? there are million different reasons it could be happening, and 3 million more if you're using wine
[10:55] <cosmodad> can anyone tell me what the package/tool is to help with creating new system services?
[10:56] <magnetron> koer: try running the Restricted drivers manager
[10:56] <koer> heheh
[10:56] <amio> can I know? what messenger works with voice on ubuntu? lets say google talk or yahoo ? how to make the calling works?

[10:56] <koer> eve online
[10:56] <orb> mc44: oh okay so if I upgrade to Gutsy I should be fine and just use the restricted drivers manager to install the drivers?  Are there any current issues with Gutsy that are major?  Does Gutsy support Beryl and those things?
[10:56] <koer> running in wine :P
[10:56] <Ademan> koer: have you installed the driver for your card?
[10:56] <koer> yep
[10:56] <marx2k_> test1234: what are the last few lines in Xorg.0.log?
[10:56] <Ademan> koer: can you make a paste at http://www.rafb.net/paste of the output of glxinfo ?
[10:57] <magnetron> orb: the gutsy beta will be released in 2 weeks, the final gutsy will be released in a month
[10:57] <mc44> orb: it's still alpha and so may well break, but the beta is out soon. beryl no longer exists but it has compiz

[10:57] <Black_Cat> hello, i'm having troubles with Wine - incorrect fonts are displayed in settings windows etc. for example, it's all okay with IE, menus and engine are fine until i get to "Internet Options", only squares instead of letters. the locale is russian, so maybe it's codepage... can this be fixed?
[10:57] <amio> any one knows whats wrong with WINE? I can not install google talk on it, when I install it and try to login says error try again

[10:57] <hwood> amio, why are you using windows google talk... get gaim it will save your live.
[10:58] <marx2k_> NET||abuse: what kind of videocard?

[10:58] <marx2k_> oooh Intel
[10:58] <marx2k_> beats me :(
[10:58] <Jowi> koer, if you use compiz/beryl you can try to switch to metacity as a window manager and then disable composite in xorg.conf. restart xorg and login to use "basic" gnome. I have trouble with 3d accelerated wine games when I use composite in xorg.conf...
[10:58] <Alarictric> can anybody help me out with ALSA with usb speakers?
[10:58] <NET||abuse> marx2k, so yeh, intel 915GM express yada yada :P

[10:58] <Black_Cat> Ademan, i'll keep that in mind, thank you
[10:58] <magnetron> orb:  you can run it.... bet it's not done yet, may wreck your system. use feisty 7.04 for now, it will upgrade when gutsy is released
[10:58] <marx2k_> koer:

[10:59] <xIke> is there any way to disable tooltips on certain elements?
[10:59] <NET||abuse> my system is still calling it gaim??
[10:59] <nubby> hey. i'm helping my friend with a new install and the slider for an automatic resize of an ntfs partition is not there. what's the best app to use that will let me do this manually without griping about his windows being ntfs?
[10:59] <frie0377> can you use apt-get if you are not root to install stuff localy?
[10:59] <hwood> lol
[10:59] <marx2k_> nubby: gparted?
[11:00] <magnetron> orb: when gutsy is released on October 18, get it via bittorrent. it's the fastest
[11:00] <marx2k_> frie0377: you mean without sudo?
[11:00] <avsevfan> i love ubuntu, but it looks usgly as hell. kubuntu looks cool, but its too buggy
[11:00] <frie0377> yes
[11:00] <magnetron> orb: there will be an official torrent on ubuntu.com
[11:00] <hwood> nubby, gparted is the bomb but you must defrag the drive in windows first. It will safe you alot of pills.
[11:00] <orb> magnetron: okay, where will the .torrent be located?  Will it be a boot cd or something i exec in feisty?
[11:00] <koer> in the beryl menu ?
[11:00] <orb> magnetron okay
[11:00] <nubby> in gparted it shows the drive as locked and i can't resize it. what must i do to get it to let me?

[11:01] <rocunreal> Okay i did the Thring Via the Retricted Driver manager, i dont think its gonna work tho but im going to give it a try
[11:01] <Jowi> avsevfan, you have about one gazillion window managers to chose from :)
[11:01] <rocunreal> i just need to Restart
[11:01] <baastrup> #ubuntu+1
[11:01] <frie0377> marx2k_: yes
[11:01] <magnetron> orb: it will be a boot cd ( get the ubuntu desktop cd)
[11:01] <nubby> do i have to unmount the partition before i can resize it?
[11:01] <hwood> nubby: ... also don't forget to unmount the ntfs partition before you run gparted.
[11:01] <magnetron> heh
[11:01] <nubby> hwood: ok, thanks. that's all i needed
[11:01] <orb> magnetron: okay thanks for all your help, I can't wait for october 18th ;D
[11:01] <marx2k_> frie: Im not sure that you can, though again... Im not sure :)
[11:01] <avsevfan> how do i write to another hard drive in ubuntu, it always says its read only, and i cant change that, even as root.
[11:02] <koer> ah okay
[11:02] <koer> but i will remove my beryl effects
[11:02] <NET||abuse> avsevfan, if it's a mounted usb disk or some such, it maybe down to the drive being ntfs?
[11:02] <NET||abuse> avsevfan, in which case you need the 3g ntfs driver.
[11:02] <test1234> ok the last lines are:         (II) VESA(0): Total Memory: 256 64KB banks (16384kb)            (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes      (II) UnloadModule: "vesa"   (II) UnloadModule: "ddc"  (II) UnloadModule: "vm86"    (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libvm86.so   (II) UnloadModule: "int10"    (II) UnloadModule: "vbe"   (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration    Fatal server error: no screens found

[11:08] <marx2k_> Strangelv: mainly the problem is Digg's new comment system where you click View comments and it unfolds the comments... konqueror automatically re-folds them!
[11:08] <test1234> so i didnt start with live cd
[11:08] <spock_> How to add Programs to Autorun in gnome

[11:08] <ki4cgp> Hey, I have a USB device that shows up in my lsusb list on my session of X, but when I ALT-TAB-F9 over to my wife's session that is running at the same time, I can't see the device with lsusb.  I probably missed a setting somewhere in gnome.  Any ideas?
[11:08] <carl> hey all is there a way I can run virtual machines on ubuntu
[11:08] <marx2k_> test1234: you lost me bro... i thought you were doing LiveCD
[11:08] <hwood> carl: vmware server is free  :)
[11:09] <marx2k_> "ALT-TAB-F9"?
[11:09] <test1234> no -.- i want just install this ubuntu
[11:09] <Strangelv> :: knows there are VM solutions that carl may be served by, but can't remember any names
[11:09] <test1234> aplocation
[11:09] <marx2k_> test1234: Ive only ever installed it from a LiveCD,s orry
[11:09] <koer> ah okay
[11:09] <ki4cgp> CTRL+ALT+F9
[11:09] <Una^> Hi, what is the best way to find out which process is using the most disk i/o at a certain time?
[11:09] <carl> is that virtual machines
[11:09] <test1234> ok np
[11:09] <hwood> carl: yes
[11:09] <test1234> so you cant help me?
[11:09] <Black_Cat> carl, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[11:09] <test1234> :]
[11:10] <amio> test 1234 you see what I am writting?
[11:10] <marx2k_> CTRL-ALT-F9 brings me to a black screen
[11:10] <cosmodad> what's the replacement for update-rc.d since upstart got into Ubuntu?
[11:10] <carl> ok I'm installing package file
[11:10] <test1234> no what did you write
[11:10] <carl> how do I install this virtual machines
[11:10] <amio> I think I have sent you a private message with all what you need to do did you get that?
[11:10] <marx2k_> I was unaware you can have >1 session of X running at 1 time?
[11:10] <test1234> no : /
[11:11] <amio> check up on the chat bar
[11:11] <marx2k_> test1234: I am afraid I cant help you
[11:11] <ki4cgp> marx2k_ yes, it does if you aren't running 2 desktops at the same time.  You'll have to switch users into a new desktop, and then you can switch over between F7 and F9
[11:11] <amio> you will see something from me
[11:11] <Strangelv> more than one X session at a time?? how??
[11:11] <amio> test1234 you see it?
[11:11] <marx2k_> man, I totally didnt know you could have more than one session at one time
[11:11] <Black_Cat> carl, have you ever dealt with this, perhaps on other OSes like win32?
[11:11] <test1234> no it isnt there :/
[11:11] <carl> no I never have
[11:11] <Ashbringer> hello, would anyone be able to point me in the right direction or help me edit my startup scripts to launch vidalia with TOR? It seems difficult, because vidalia is a GUI app, but TOR is started before there's a GDM session.
[11:11] <marx2k_> Strangelv: Im guessing because you CAN :)
[11:12] <marx2k_> I need to learn perl...for real
[11:12] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- whats your status?
[11:12] <Strangelv> marx2k_: that might be a good enough reason, but once upon a time I had something specific in mind
[11:12] <test1234> dont work
[11:12] <test1234> : /
[11:12] <marx2k_> I think my life would be easier if I knew perl scripting or bash scripting
[11:12] <ki4cgp> Its in gnome, just click like you are going to shut down, and you should get the option to switch users
[11:12] <wise_> hey there... A quick question... while using gaim in ubuntu (feisty) with a fresh install, i'm having serious intermittant connection issued while using MSN Messenger.
[11:12] <wise_> stays online for about two minutes, disconnects, reconnects, repeats
[11:12] <amio> test1234 any way look I sent you again did you see?
[11:12] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- nice status....in particular?
[11:12] <marx2k_> ki4cgp: I figured that would just log me out of my session and log me into another session
[11:12] <test1234> the status of me -->   once i kick the laptop out of the window
[11:13] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- ok.... do you have a live cd?
[11:13] <test1234> nope
[11:13] <ki4cgp> Hey, I have a USB device that shows up in my lsusb list on my session of X, but when I CTRL+ALT+F9 over to my wife's session that is running at the same time, I can't see the device with lsusb.  I probably missed a setting somewhere in gnome.  Any ideas?
[11:13] <test1234> its a install only cd
[11:13] <Strangelv> marx2k_: does writing a script in another language to crank out a mess of bash commands into a plain text file and ther running it as 'bash filename' count?
[11:13] <Emperor886> Can someone help me with Macromedia Flash Player? I can't watch videos on YouTube. =/
[11:13] <Black_Cat> carl, it's not that easy anywayz, at least with virtualbox. all you have to do is: get a proper .deb, install it, accept a license, allow kernel module to be compiled, add yourself to vboxusers group, reboot, create a new VM and set it up. quite easy, right? :)
[11:13] <ki4cgp> marx2k_  It will log you into another session but doesn't log you out of the first
[11:13] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- do you get a gui after starting installation?
[11:13] <NET||abuse> So anyone got a clue as to how i can get clone output to the VGA port on my laptop's intel 915GM card?
[11:14] <test1234> no
[11:14] <marx2k_> Strangelv: works for me :)
[11:14] <amio> test1234 listen to me this what I will write might make others laugh I also dont have good knowledge in linux but tried it and it worked out well I had your trouble exactly same so do these commands install one by one then restart after all are done
[11:14] <carl> yeah that does sound quiet easy
[11:14] <Strangelv> marx2k_: wasn't exactly tidy, but it met my immediate, urgent task so I could go on to something else
[11:14] <bingodeville> Emperor886: try sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree
[11:14] <test1234> i start the installation

[11:17] <wcham> How can I get fusion-icon in gutsy?
[11:17] <ichat> ive been investigating network manager - but it seems to not support either ralink or broadcom chipts...  -

[11:18] <lorenzo_> hello, someone know how to connect to mysql in command line please
[11:18] <riaal> marx2k, yes, it is
[11:18] <Black_Cat> carl, you might try installing macosx86 as a guest operation system, but if i'm right you'll never have full-scale Apple on intel-chip, even on emulated on. the other way is searching for virtual apple machines.
[11:18] <Annuminas_> lorenzo -- install mysql-admin package
[11:18] <amio> try this I did all then I got it working with graphics
[11:18] <test1234> yes Nvidea 6600

[11:23] <riaal> Can I use "screen" to see aplications already running when I login remotely with ssh?
[11:23] <marx2k_> rocun: "sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings"
[11:24] <wise_> Hirosaki, xubuntu is great for older systems
[11:24] <amio> #winehelq
[11:24] <Annuminas_> wise_ -- oh that can be right....nvidea drivers change every day so its pretty hard to keep pace with all the problems
[11:24] <rausb0> riaal: only when those apps were started in a screen session earlier
[11:24] <amio> what is the wine room please?
[11:24] <rocunreal> amio #winehq

[11:26] <rocunreal> marx2k, if this works you are the Best man!
[11:26] <test1234> how=
[11:26] <test1234> xd
[11:26] <wise_> pidgin up and running :) hard to locate on the interweb, i'm surprized gaim is gonzo
[11:26] <CapaH> Does anyone know if its possible for one program to open up a connection -- and another program to then send data through the connection that program A opened up? For example, I am connected to this IRC server through this client, is there a way for me to send data through that same connection without opening up a new program to do it? To cause two programs to use the same connection?
[11:26] <marx2k_> rocunreal: Oh, all that is is a program that lets you visuall set up some stuff in xorg.conf and for your videocard
[11:26] <rocunreal> marx2k, its updating stuff and downloading
[11:26] <wise_> pidgin is niccccee
[11:27] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- you can choose an server installation.... as i know it is without gui =)
[11:27] <rocunreal> marx2k, o ^^
[11:27] <rocunreal> marx2k, thought it was drivers
[11:27] <ki4cgp> marx2k_, you can also lock your screen, taking you to a screensaver, and if you set the option, allow either your password to unlock the screensaver or allow someone else to log in (switch to a new user)
[11:27] <marx2k_> rocunreal: nope!
[11:27] <ki4cgp> whoops
[11:27] <marx2k_> rocunreal:  but it might help you more
[11:27] <marx2k_> ki4cgp: heheheh
[11:27] <rocunreal> marx2k, its saids its removing nvidia-glx
[11:28] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, okay let's get back to you if you don't mind. what distribution are u using?
[11:28] <marx2k_> rocunreal: what? that program shouldnt have anything to do with your actual drivers!
[11:28] <ki4cgp> Hey, I have a USB device that shows up in my lsusb list on my session of X, but when I CTRL+ALT+F9 over to my wife's session that is running at the same time, I can't see the device with lsusb.  I probably missed a setting somewhere in gnome.  Any ideas?
[11:28] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- at least you will have a working terminal....then you can try to install an xserver with the newest ati drivers and so on
[11:28] <rocunreal> marx2k, i did install funny drivers for my card in Systnpic thinggy
[11:28] <medfly> how do i mount a dvd?
[11:28] <sixpence> ki4cgp: Usb has nothing to do with xorg
[11:28] <rocunreal> marx2k, yea but i screwed up my drivers
[11:28] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Feisty Fawn.
[11:28] <marx2k_> rocunreal: maybe thats why... if I were you, Id just follow the guide to get compiz working on nvidia
[11:28] <rocunreal> marx2k, i installed some weird drivers in synapic that screwed me over :(
[11:29] <josiahw> what is a good program for listening to internet radio?
[11:29] <Annuminas_> medfly -- is a dvd not also an --type iso9660 medium?
[11:29] <ichat> afaik - vlc ?????
[11:29] <ki4cgp> sixpence, yes, I know.  But I don't know where to find the setting to turn USB back on for the other account
[11:29] <josiahw> Kaffeine?
[11:29] <marx2k_> josiahw: xmms works well
[11:30] <Annuminas_> rhythmbox
[11:30] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, launch synaptic and go to settings->repositories (spelling might vary, i'm using non-english version)
[11:30] <marx2k_> rocunreal: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-beryl-with-latest-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-feisty-fawn.html
[11:30] <josiahw> amarok doesnt have one? or maybe an addon or something?
[11:30] <marx2k_> rocunreal...
[11:30] <marx2k_> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[11:30] <marx2k_> sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite
[11:30] <rocunreal> marx2k, ight ill try that thanks for spending so much  time helping me out
[11:30] <medfly> Annuminas_, well, its some CD my brother burnt, and he thinks he might have burnt it as a DVD.. im getting some errors :S loads.. on dmesg
[11:31] <d4rkmonkey> josiahw amarok does, if you go into playlists tehres "radio Streams" and "Last.fm Radio"
[11:31] <Bulazeem> i have a Western digital My Book and i cant write anything to it.  it says i dont have permission even if i open it up with gksudo nautilus and then try and put stuff on it
[11:31] <Black_Cat> Emperor886,  and set all of the 5 checkboxes in first tab ('ubuntu software'). close the window and fetch updates.
[11:31] <Sonicadvance1> a question, I have some files with really long file names, is there a way to shorten them, without renaming them, pretty much so it doesn't show the entire filename and an Icon doesn't take up the entire desktop?
[11:31] <nickrud> Bulazeem: is that an ntfs volume
[11:31] <marx2k_> Bulazeem: check your /etc/fstab and make sure it's mounted in rw mode
[11:31] <josiahw> d4rkmonkey:
[11:31] <rocunreal> marx2k, i just typed and ran sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx in my terminal
[11:31] <medfly>  [17218164.492000]  hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } (newline)  [17218164.492000]  hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } (newline) [17218164.492000]  ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[11:31] <Bulazeem> i think so.  should i reformat it?
[11:31] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> what should i do to figure out y the gui won't load?
[11:31] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Done.
[11:32] <rocunreal> marx2k, will that restore my drivers?
[11:32] <nickrud> Bulazeem: no, you can use ntfs-3g to write to ntfs
[11:32] <josiahw> d4rkmonkey: thank you very much... do you know if more can be added? or if there is a list of them out there somewhere?
[11:32] <panosru> how can i change the sound of log in (not after log in but there where asks the username/password) ?
[11:32] <marx2k_> rocunreal: yeah copy/paste those two lines, when it's done, reboot and see if it works
[11:32] <nickrud> !ntfs-3g | Bulazeem
[11:32] <ubotu> Bulazeem: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[11:32] <marx2k_> rocunreal: it should yeah
[11:32] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> what should i do to figure out y the gui won't load?
[11:32] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, updates are fetched?
[11:32] <d4rkmonkey> josiahw I'm not sure, there probably is... but I don't know how. Sorry
[11:32] <rocunreal> marx2k, sweet
[11:32] <Bulazeem> thanks guys.  :)
[11:32] <marx2k_> but make sure to do that second line
[11:32] <Annuminas_> medfly -- if nothing you tried worked try making an iso (google for the terminal command, should be something with "dd") and mount it with "sudo mount --type iso9660 -o loop /"path to iso" /"path to existing mountpoint" ;)
[11:32] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: They are installing now.
[11:32] <josiahw> d4rkmonkey: ok well thank you for the help
[11:32] <josiahw> thank you guys
[11:33] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Half way done.
[11:33] <rocunreal> marx2k, ok im gonna restart thanks for the help man
[11:33] <josiahw> oh one more question.... what is a good personal accounting program?
[11:33] <medfly> Annuminas_, ill try, thanks
[11:33] <Annuminas_> josiahw -- try PLANNER ;)
[11:33] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: there's a lot of possible reasons, first though, did you get a blue screen telling you to look at a file for errors?
[11:33] <josiahw> Annuminas_: ty
[11:34] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, ok. and after that you might try the command you typed before ( sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ) or search for the package in synaptic itself. i think you'll need to log out and back in for settings to apply.
[11:34] <nickrud> josiahw: gnucash works well enough
[11:34] <Annuminas_> np =)
[11:35] <riaal> rausb0, I'm getting: there is a screen on 3454.pts-server  when using -r how do I reatach it? some flag and the first number? (sorry for not readning the manpage, it is huge :) =
[11:35] <marx2k_> riaal: do you have a good tutorial for screening?
[11:35] <bill__> screen -r 3454
[11:36] <riaal> bill__, tested that one, don't work =/
[11:36] <medfly> Annuminas_, uhm, shouldnt the CD come in somewhere/
[11:36] <rausb0> riaal: if the session is still attached somewhere, you need screen -rd
[11:36] <riaal> MatBoy, not really
[11:36] <Annuminas_> medfly -- what do you mean with "come in somewhere"?
[11:36] <riaal> rausb0, oh, thanks!
[11:37] <rausb0> riaal: so you "steal" the session from the terminal where it was attached to
[11:37] <medfly> Annuminas_, oh never mind, i get what you mean now
[11:37] <Annuminas_> medfly -- oh ok than... ;)
[11:37] <riaal> rausb0, I understand, works perfectly! Thanks a lot!
[11:38] <rob-> whats the difference between debian and ubuntu for use as a server, sweet F-all ?
[11:38] <Annuminas_> bye people.... gotta go now ;) gn8 greets from ger =)
[11:38] <Annuminas_> cya@all
[11:38] <rausb0> riaal: screen -x is even cooler, it shares the session on two or more terminals
[11:38] <nooga> yeah!
[11:38] <marx2k_> I still dont see the advantage to screen
[11:38] <nooga> screen -x, using at the moment
[11:39] <riaal> rausb0, cool, so both the server and the remote can se them at the same time?
[11:39] <rausb0> marx2k_: very handy when running the same text apps from different locations
[11:39] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: flashplugin-nonfree cannot be found. =/
[11:39] <rausb0> riaal: yes
[11:39] <nooga> marx2k_: it's simple, whenyou use shell account, you can use mltiple irc sessions and write some code paralelly
[11:39] <riaal> rausb0, awesome, thanks again
[11:39] <marx2k_> rausb0: so basically youre just getting INTO your login session remotely?
[11:39] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, let me check....
[11:40] <Emperor886> Okay.
[11:40] <nooga> that's right
[11:40] <rausb0> marx2k_: screen is also good for unstable ssh connections
[11:40] <marx2k_> I see... I can see where that would be useful, yes
[11:40] <jez999> Ubuntu was connecting to a WinXP machine that had internet connection sharing enabled a few hours ago, via DHCP, just fine.  Now it's stopped working and the icon says 'no network connection' - what could be the problem?
[11:40] <rausb0> marx2k_: if the ssh connection breaks, you get the text apps back after logging in again
[11:40] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: i couldn't install ubuntu using the gui installer either.... but it says "failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem?" when ubuntu tries to load the gui, then i get send to the command prompt thingy
[11:40] <marx2k_> jez: the ethernet wire fell out :)
[11:40] <marx2k_> rausb0: that'd be useful if I really used any text based apps
[11:41] <NemesisD> gnomebaker is making me nervous, i burned a dvd ISO and its just sitting there after burning and my dvd light is blinking
[11:41] <rausb0> marx2k_: yeah, screen is for terminal based apps only
[11:41] <marx2k_> NemesisD: its probably closing the session... how long has that been going on for?
[11:41] <rocunreal> marx2k_, didn't work :(
[11:41] <rausb0> marx2k_: (which i use frequently)
[11:41] <marx2k_> I should really get more into ncurses based apps
[11:41] <marx2k_> rocunreal: whats the error
[11:41] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, i don't see a reason why you can't download it directly :) http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/web/flashplugin-nonfree
[11:41] <rocunreal> marx2k_, had to revert to like VGA in Xserver i had no GUI
[11:42] <marx2k_> Whhaaaattt
[11:42] <marx2k_> rocunreal: you should pastebin your xorg.0,log
[11:42] <rocunreal> marx2k_, idk how to do that?
[11:42] <marx2k_> !pastebin
[11:42] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:42] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Thanks. :)
[11:42] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, packages.ubuntu.com is quite useful for ubuntu software search. keep that in mind when you'll require a msttcorefonts package, it's recommended for fp-nf
[11:43] <rocunreal> marx2k_, isn't the main problem that i changed my Drivers tho under Systematic w/e its called
[11:43] <NemesisD> marx2k, after spinning up and burning for a while, its been sitting with this blinking light for id guess like 3 minutes
[11:43] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Thanks. :D
[11:43] <marx2k_> rocunreal: shouldnt be... nvidia drivers should work fine
[11:43] <Black_Cat> both of them are downloaders, btw
[11:43] <marx2k_> NemesisD: does gnomebaker say its at 100%?
[11:43] <Bulazeem> nickrud: i got ntfs-3g installed and checked the boxes to enable writing and can still only open files but not write.  do i need to reboot?
[11:43] <rocunreal> marx2k_, im not sure if i even used Nvidia Drivers man
[11:44] <NemesisD> marx2k, also im having difficulty changing virtual desktops, and no it was at 0% the whole time but sounded like it was burning
[11:44] <rocunreal> marx2k_, i cant even remember the name of the driver
[11:44] <jez999> the 'wired connection' entry in my networking list just disappeared, why might this be?
[11:44] <jez999> the box is checked in the manual configuration
[11:44] <marx2k_> rocunreal: have you tried enabling the restricted drivers?
[11:44] <rocunreal> marx2k_, Yep same thing i got no GUI
[11:44] <marx2k_> jez999: try re-enabling it
[11:44] <jez999> di
[11:44] <jez999> did
[11:44] <jez999> the entry isnt appearing
[11:45] <ltar> whenever I restart, Gnome-panel initializes wrong. I have to killall gnome-panel or it dissapears when I change workspaces. After restarting gnome-panel, my desktop icons appear only on my 1st workspace. what's going on?
[11:45] <marx2k_> rocunreal: we really gotta see that xorg.0.log
[11:45] <rocunreal> marx2k_, i had to run the Xserver thing to get my GUI back
[11:45] <rocunreal> marx2k_, how come changing drivers on linux is so hard?
[11:45] <[nrx] > marx2k, rocunreali had the same issue with mine... when i enabled restricted drivers, x wouldn't shutdown properly.. i've disabled it again and now gnome doesn't run lol
[11:45] <marx2k_> rocunreal: it usually isnt :)
[11:45] <rocunreal> marx2k_, =(
[11:45] <marx2k_> rocun: Im thinking its something in xorg.conf
[11:45] <NemesisD> marx2k, am i safe in assuming this dvd is now a coaster
[11:45] <marx2k_> now try running nvidia-settings
[11:46] <marx2k_> NemesisD: Its STILL doing it?
[11:46] <rocunreal> marx2k_, ok
[11:46] <ltar> rocunreal: if it were easy, it wouldn't be linux. :P
[11:46] <[nrx] > lol
[11:46] <marx2k_> heh
[11:46] <NemesisD> marx2k, yes, i know when i burned stuff in nero id would blink until i hit okay or something to confirm it was done, but there is no such prompt in gnomebaker
[11:46] <marx2k_> Linux != Easy
[11:46] <marx2k_> NemesisD: so it's still at 0%?
[11:46] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: I downloaded it, but how do I install it? I'm not good wih the terminal. :(
[11:46] <rocunreal> ltear, if it was easy it wouldn't be Microsoft you mean ;)
[11:46] <NemesisD> marx2k, was like that the whole time, yes
[11:47] <rocunreal> marx2k_, man i get no options i just ran that
[11:47] <marx2k_> Yeah thats a little odd... how long has it been "burning" now?
[11:47] <marx2k_> rocunreal: no options
[11:47] <rocunreal> marx2k_, it gives me the exit command tho :(
[11:47] <marx2k_> ?
[11:47] <marx2k_> what?!
[11:47] <rocunreal> marx2k_, or i should say button
[11:47] <NemesisD> marx2k, id guess 10 mins
[11:47] <marx2k_> rocunreal: edit your xorg.conf and instead of "vga", put in "nv"
[11:47] <wise_> any linix distors being made for wii?
[11:47] <ltar> rocunreal: nono, linux is a pain in the ass. I've had nothing but trouble since I installed it. It's fortunate that I find that sort of thing fun.
[11:47] <rocunreal> marx2k_, only 2 buttons that window shows is   ( Help and Exit )
[11:47] <ltar> whenever I restart, Gnome-panel initializes wrong. I have to killall gnome-panel or it dissapears when I change workspaces. After restarting gnome-panel, my desktop icons appear only on my 1st workspace. what's going on?
[11:47] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, two ways. first: right-click in nautilus, or on desktop if you put it there, and use GDebi to process it for you. or: sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb
[11:48] <marx2k_> NemesisD: I dunno... id give it 20 minutes just to be sure
[11:48] <NemesisD> marx2k, its daring me to try to eject the dvd or kill the process
[11:48] <NemesisD> marx2k, ok
[11:48] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> HERE'S MY PROBLEM::::: i couldn't install ubuntu using the gui installer either.... but it says "failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem?" when ubuntu tries to load the gui, then i get send to the command prompt thingy

[11:52] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: what video card you you have?
[11:52] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: I don't have this option. :(
[11:52] <drake> ok
[11:52] <marx2k_> nubby: You usually cant do it from linux from my experience... you need to boot into windows an initiate a checkdisk /f
[11:52] <jez999> what could be wrong?????  i have lost my wired network connection from the network list, and i can't connect to my WinXP box using DHCP!!!  I could a few hours ago, i don't know what's caused this!

[11:54] <NemesisD> ed1t, this may be useful reading http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader
[11:54] <marx2k_> drake: I just use "compiz --replace" and thats it
[11:54] <marx2k_> rocun, yo
[11:54] <rocunreal> marx2k, idk how to open the org thing from the GUI it saids i dont have permission how do i gain permission while opening it from the Terminal?
[11:54] <drake> what
[11:55] <MooCow1> I'm trying to use sendmail to send mail.. via a php script, but it takes a good minute or so before it sends.  It will eventually send, but it takes forever.  Anyone know a solution?
[11:55] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, quite strange... try double-clicking it... where does it lead you to?
[11:55] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: then do the following:   log into that terminal, type   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver xorg.  Choose the    nv   driver. When that's done, type   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   . That should get you the gui.
[11:55] <marx2k_> rocun: type into terminal "gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[11:55] <jez999> what could be wrong?????  i have lost my wired network connection from the network list, and i can't connect to my WinXP box using DHCP!!!  I could a few hours ago, i don't know what's caused this!
[11:55] <rocunreal> marx2k, your a hero man, thanks its open ill try an change that stuff you told me
[11:56] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Archive Manager
[11:56] <marx2k_> rocunreal:  now that I think about it, the log wont have the errors since you successfully ran X this time. what I would suggest is "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and replace "vga" with "nv" (or you could do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"), then try to start X... if it doesnt start, make a backup of that error log, start X with the vga driver as you are doing now and post that log
[11:56] <marx2k_> sounds like a lot, but it's not :)
[11:57] <Blauhaut> How can i control my ipod ?
[11:57] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, and where did you put downloads? to your desktop?
[11:57] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Yes.
[11:58] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, type in your terminal: cd /home/YourUserName/Desktop (put your username in path)
[11:58] <FFighter> Is there a way to share fonts between linux and a Windows XP VM ?
[11:58] <rocunreal> marx2k_, when you say nv you mean nvidia right?
[11:58] <ltar> Blauhaut: look up a program called songbird. it syncs with your ipod without blinking
[11:58] <FFighter> maybe using samba ?
[11:58] <drake>  compiz --replace /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: dlsym: /usr/lib/compiz/libccp.so: undefined symbol: getCompPluginInfo20070830 /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'ccp' someone help me with this error
[11:58] <NemesisD> marx2k, is it time to kill this mother?
[11:59] <marx2k_> rocunreal: yeah but the driver is called "nv" ... here, I'll pastebin my xorg.conf for you
[11:59] <Black_Cat> and then: sudo dpkg -i exact_file_name_as_it_shows.deb
[11:59] <aj_> hi mates, is it possible to create a shortcut/hotkey for "show desktop" function? =)

[11:59] <rocunreal> For the X Window System graphical user interface to operate correctly,
[11:59] <rocunreal>   it is necessary to select a video card driver for the X server.
[11:59] <rocunreal>
[11:59] <rocunreal>   Drivers are typically named for the video card or chipset manufacturer,
[11:59] <rocunreal>   or for a specific model or family of chipsets.

[12:00] <FFighter> I suppose I couldn't point the windows fonts folder to a shared folder
[12:00] <[nrx] > 4 lines, isn't it?
[12:01] <Black_Cat> Emperor, and i never told you to download .tar.gz, we were talking about .deb files
[12:01] <Sonicadvance1> 5 lines
[12:01] <FFighter> dr_gonzo, but I could do the other way around (share the windows fonts folder and create a symlink to ubuntus font folder)
[12:01] <MooCow1> All: Too anyone that read my question earlier about the sendmail delay, it was because I had multiple computers on the network with the same hostname.  Very odd problem, but I simply changed my hostname with hostname MooCow, and sendmail is now instant.

[12:01] <Black_Cat> but that's rather my fault, Emperor
