[01:04] <Xgates> IB: I got it ---->  Rcconf
[01:04] <mormoloc> what progrom converts mp3 to ogg?
[01:04] <IB-> xgl alt-tab is abit confusing :)
[01:04] <IB-> Xgates,  cool
[01:05] <Xgates> all though it doesn't seem like all of them
[01:05] <Xgates> hmm
[01:05] <IB-> i've got mozilla-acroread, am i missing something ?
[01:05] <Euthymos> I've a question nobody can answer
[01:05] <eXistenZ> IB-, using ubuntu?
[01:06] <IB-> eXistenZ, yes ? :)
[01:06] <mneptok> why am i reading support tickets at 4am?
[01:06] <IB-> mneptok, very good question
[01:06] <eXistenZ> IB-, There is a bug in the mozilla-acroread
[01:06] <kimo> mneptok: in oregon ?
[01:06] <IB-> i need to make a soft link or something ?
[01:06] <eXistenZ> IB-, You should download the acrobat*.tz from the acrobat reader website, and copy a file called npdf.so or something
[01:06] <Ng> Euthymos: ask it and see :)
[01:06] <eXistenZ> IB-, just replace it
[01:06] <mneptok> kimo: yeah. i'll be in Montreal at the Canonical support offices as of July 4.
[01:06] <IB-> k, tnx, i'll try
[01:07] <IB-> btw, google picasa for linux rocks a swell
[01:07] <Euthymos> Ng: How can i raise the limit of symbolic links levels?
[01:07] <eXistenZ> IB-, I don't use ubuntu anymore
[01:07] <IB-> why not ?
[01:07] <IB-> Euthymos, maybe with ulimit?
[01:07] <eXistenZ> IB-, I just set up ubuntu on my server
[01:07] <kimo> mneptok: heh cool ;) Can I apply for a job (live in Cairo)
[01:07] <Euthymos> IB-: thank you for your answer. What is ulimit?
[01:07] <mneptok> kimo: sure, apply. but be ready to relocate to Montreal.
[01:07] <IB-> i use gentoo on my sever
[01:07] <eXistenZ> IB-, For desktop usage, I prefer windows. ubuntu is way behind windows.
[01:07] <mneptok> :P
[01:07] <IB-> eXistenZ, hehehe, i use bot
[01:07] <IB-> both
[01:07] <kimo> mneptok: no problem! URL ?
[01:08] <IB-> i mostly use windows and linux runs in vmware (for development porpouses)
[01:08] <IB-> Euthymos, man it
[01:08] <mneptok> kimo: http://www.ubuntu.com/employment
[01:08] <kimo> mneptok: thanks
[01:08] <eXistenZ> IB-, I guess it is called nppdf.so
[01:08] <opti> whats the 'codename' for 6.06 then?
[01:08] <kimo> opti: dapper drake?
[01:08] <eXistenZ> IB-, It is in the BROWSER directory in the acrobat reader source you download from the website
[01:08] <opti> cheers
[01:08] <eXistenZ> IB-, locate nppdf.so
[01:09] <Euthymos> http://www.ss64.com/bash/ulimit.html
[01:09] <Ng> Euthymos: I believe it's controlled by the kernel, so you'd need to patch that
[01:09] <mneptok> kimo: be warned, if you get hired as a junior tech, i'll be your boss. and i'm a hard-ass. :)
[01:09] <IB-> eXistenZ, yeah, i figured it out, i'll try, tnx
[01:09] <Euthymos> Ng: fantastic
[01:09] <the_Kane> hey
[01:09] <Euthymos> ulimit is unable to
[01:09] <IB-> eXistenZ, did you try ubuntu 6.06 ? it's much more closer to window s:)
[01:09] <kimo> mneptok: ;) no problem with that
[01:09] <Ng> Euthymos: it might be too old to apply, but http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9804.1/0182.html may help
[01:09] <eXistenZ> IB-, Yes. It has bad packages support as well.
[01:09] <IB-> bad packages ? like what?
[01:10] <Euthymos> Well, that's unbelievable
[01:10] <mneptok> the only way Windows is "ahead" of Linux is in malware.
[01:10] <eXistenZ> IB-, I've been reporting a bug for like two weeks, I talked with a few developers. We tried to fix that, but they just gave up.
[01:10] <Euthymos> whatever, thank you
[01:10] <eXistenZ> mneptok, For desktop usage, I still prefer windows. I use ubuntu on my server
[01:10] <IB-> eXistenZ, which bug ?
[01:10] <mneptok> eXistenZ: enjoy cleaning the malware.
[01:11] <opti> until they port WoW to linux, its 2nd to windows ;)
[01:11] <eXistenZ> mneptok, I don't have malware here, although I've got no antivirus or any kind of scanner.
[01:11] <eXistenZ> mneptok, I'm quite cautious
[01:11] <mneptok> opti: i prefer actually getting laid to MMORPGs :P
[01:11] <IB-> actually i'm using XP (updated without anti virus and firewall), and i have 0 malware, and 0 viruses
[01:11] <opti> but i'll have a peek because i keep hearing about ubuntu
[01:11] <Ng> windowsy discussions would be better held in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[01:11] <Healot> it's a matter being stupid or not
[01:11] <Healot> NG NG
[01:11] <eXistenZ> mneptok, I prefer to clean malware rather than switching to windows everytime I want to print some document (because developers didn't bother to fix it).
[01:12] <mneptok> eXistenZ: didn't bother to fix what?
[01:12] <kimo> eXistenZ: u mean bec ur printer manufacturer didnt care about you
[01:12] <dionysos_> eXistenZ: ubuntu is still free don't complain
[01:12] <dionysos_> i can print in linux!
[01:12] <eXistenZ> dionysos_, I'm not complaining, he's pulling me.
[01:12] <eXistenZ> dionysos_, There is some bug in the network printers for cups.
[01:12] <opti> who prints things, honestly
[01:12] <eXistenZ> dionysos_, Some of them.
[01:13] <eXistenZ> dionysos_, The bug has been confirmed
[01:13] <dionysos_> jup
[01:13] <Ng> eXistenZ: is that the cups smb bug? if so it's been fixed for a while
[01:13] <opti> the last time i used a printer it was a BJ-200 connected to a 486
[01:13] <dionysos_> then they'll have to fix it :)
[01:13] <opti> hehe
[01:13] <redskull> how can i apdate my time
[01:13] <dionysos_> eXistenZ: why don't you try to fix it ;)
[01:13] <redskull> help me
[01:13] <dionysos_> download the source and fix it :d
[01:13] <eXistenZ> dionysos_, I talked with the developer responsible for the bug.
[01:13] <eXistenZ> dionysos_, We tried to fix it for like a day.
[01:13] <Ng> redskull: System->Administration->Time and Date
[01:13] <dionysos_> lol
[01:13] <dionysos_> nasty bug :p
[01:14] <eXistenZ> dionysos_, I just don't like to waste my time fixing stuff, that is supposed to be fixed.
[01:14] <kimo> redskull: sync with an atomic server, ntpdate -s time.nist.gov :)
[01:14] <redskull> ng from internet
[01:14] <mneptok> redskull: sudo ntpdate time.berkeley.netdot.net
[01:14] <eXistenZ> dionysos_, If you like to waste your time on installing some display driver, that's fine
[01:14] <Ng> redskull: yes, that tool allows you to do that
[01:14] <eXistenZ> dionysos_, I use ubuntu, however, for my server. which is ideal
[01:15] <Chousuke> hmm
[01:15] <redskull> ng i live in italy
[01:15] <opti> perhaps i should stop being a cheapskate and get an adsl2 modem
[01:16] <kimo> opti: what's adsl2 ?
[01:16] <Ng> redskull: it won't matter where you are
[01:16] <mneptok> redskull: the ntpdate command does not change for Italians ;)
[01:16] <Ng> kimo: offtopic
[01:16] <redskull> nessuno parla italiano?
[01:16] <Ng> !it
[01:16] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[01:16] <opti> not sure, might be a sort of australian term perhaps
[01:16] <kimo> !ar
[01:16] <ubotu> kimo: Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:16] <redskull> e la prima volta che chatto con ubuntu
[01:17] <Remy> hi guys, anyone gotten TeamSpeak to work with ubuntu?  It installs fine, and I can hear others, but they can't hear me... :(
[01:17] <Gullstad> !java
[01:17] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java and see also !javadebs
[01:17] <mneptok> Remy: check your sound input levels. by default, input levels are muted, iirc.
[01:17] <Gullstad> !javadebs
[01:17] <ubotu> In Breezy: j2re1.4 is in multiverse. In Dapper: sun-java5-jre is in multiverse
[01:17] <Remy> mneptok - checked them all fine... I can hear the mic through the system
[01:18] <Remy> but nothing going through :(
[01:18] <Pistache`> heya
[01:18] <mneptok> Remy: check TeamSpeaks outgoing IP port range requirements and make sure those aren;t being blocked.
[01:19] <Gullstad> I'm trying to install my wireless card, and it tries to obtain java package, but it wont install. It says "This fule should be owned but root.root and be copied to /tmp.
[01:19] <opti> bollocks, no blank cd's

[01:20] <opti> oh darn, no blank cd's :p
[01:20] <Gullstad> I'm trying to install my wireless card, and it tries to obtain java package, but it wont install. It says "This fule should be owned but root.root and be copied to /tmp. (Yes, i did su and the passord befor i did the command).
[01:21] <eXistenZ> How can I check the cpu usage?
[01:21] <Ng> eXistenZ: top
[01:23] <rixxon> is there a way to sudo through "run application" dialog? if i use sudo normally, i get no password prompt
[01:23] <Ng> rixxon: gksudo
[01:24] <rixxon> Ng: thank you sir :)
[01:24] <_Raldz_> rixxon: I use "Run as a different user"
[01:25] <rixxon> Ng: exactly what i wanted, yey
[01:26] <rixxon> orinoco seems to work with airsnort, so i guess i should use it with kismet aswell. but kismet has two orinoco driver - how can i tell which one works for me?
[01:28] <Subhuman> rixxon, jus try one and see
[01:28] <rixxon> Subhuman: good point :p
[01:28] <Subhuman> trial and eroor, theres only two to check
[01:28] <Gullstad> I'm trying to install my wireless card, and it tries to obtain java package, but it wont install. It says "This fule should be owned but root.root and be copied to /tmp. (Yes, i did su and the passord befor i did the command).
[01:28] <Subhuman> if it works that one if it doesnt the other :P
[01:29] <Subhuman> Gullstad, do a "sudo chown root:root filename" on that file then "cp filename /tmp" to move that file itz talking about to tmp
[01:29] <MetaMorfoziS> hmi found "avidemux" for demuxing audio from video
[01:29] <Xgates> anyone use sysv-rc-conf? I don't quite get the cmd  ----> -:  listed to stop a level, how you do this?
[01:30] <Subhuman> Xgates, ive used it but i dont understand your question.
[01:30] <anarqi> xgates: programs run at certain levels
[01:30] <anarqi> level 2 means textmode only for instance
[01:30] <Gullstad> Subhuman: There is no file, I cant recive it from "apt".
[01:31] <Xgates> Subhuman: I mean if you want to stop a level it's listed in the help section to use ----->   -:
[01:31] <Subhuman> Xgates, to stop start you use spacebar
[01:31] <Subhuman> like put the cursor over the box you want tick and push space
[01:31] <Xgates> ok
[01:32] <Subhuman> Xgates, do you understand about runlevels? because you can break shit if you mess around in there without understanding what you are doing.
[01:32] <Subhuman> !runlevels
[01:32] <ubotu> Subhuman: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:32] <Subhuman> !runlevel
[01:32] <ubotu> Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Subhuman
[01:32] <Subhuman> hmm.
[01:32] <IB-> rofl
[01:32] <ICf> :)
[01:32] <Subhuman> anywyas im out
[01:33] <Subhuman> got an exam to go to
[01:33] <Subhuman> later.
[01:33] <Xgates> Subhuman: yes, but I'm going to shut off stuff I don't need like LVM, etc...
[01:33] <Subhuman> oh right well yeah go nuts with it:P
[01:33] <Xgates> unless Ubuntu is wanting it for some reason still at start up
[01:34] <anarqi> xgates there is better methods of turning services off then using that
[01:35] <Xgates> anarqi: well I was looking at rcconf and bum but those aren't listed so I guess just disable the files in /etc/init.d then
[01:35] <anarqi> xubuntu comes with service-admin check to see if maybe you can apt-get install service-admin
[01:37] <traveller> i am having trouble configuring an Epson Stylus C63 for colour printing, the images come out either black or negative, can anybody provide help on this?
[01:37] <Xgates> anarqi: I don't see any service-admin in Synaptic coming up
[01:37] <QPAD|w-busy> I have 2 p4 dual core running, but only 1 shows up? I'm using ubuntu 5.10, Any clues of how to sort this out? please.
[01:38] <anarqi> well its up to you, either change the init.d directly or get xubuntu-desktop package which has service-admin
[01:38] <mojojojo_> hello
[01:38] <IB-> QPAD|w-busy, you need SMP kernel prolly no ?
[01:38] <traveller> i am suspecting it involves some combination of colour model, ink set, and ink type
[01:38] <anarqi> traveller, i have no idea, i dont use a printer
[01:38] <anarqi> check the forums?
[01:39] <traveller> anarqi: alrighty
[01:39] <mojojojo_> I updated my Ubuntu to DD... and now I can't compile my programs... I doesn't find header *.h files and libraries.... Do you know the reaseon?
[01:40] <anarqi> check your compiler (gcc) in synaptic
[01:40] <anarqi> and mark it to reinstall or fix broken dependencies
[01:40] <mojojojo_> anarqi:  I c... so it was removed
[01:40] <iiiears> What to edit l to stop the screensaver daemon on boot up?  - installed good 'ol xscreensaver with config boxes for each one. - a'course now there is this gnarly warning box - ahem -      "The screensaver daemon doesn't seem to be running on screen 0:0  Launch it now?"
[01:40] <schalken> where can i go to configure the boot-loader?
[01:41] <mojojojo_> anarqi:  but wait... it does produce some errors... so it IS installed already
[01:41] <rpt> Is there a "tell rtp about" thingie for video decode essentials, ie xvid divx dvd playbacks? :)
[01:41] <iiiears> schalken: sure boot.list i think it is in the  grub boot folder
[01:41] <opti> no blank cd's, and all my rewritables are 74 minutes
[01:41] <opti> doh
[01:42] <CiberSkull> hi, I have a SB live! but it's is detected has a SB Audigy LS, i can play music but the sound isn't the best, but the problem is when I try to use MPlayer to play my videos, a error message apears: "alsa-control: unable to find simple control 'PCM',0" i tried to use alsaconf to fix this, but I must be doing something wrong because ist's same....anyone?
[01:42] <anarqi> mojojo fix broken dependencies
[01:42] <Xgates> anarqi: say pop up Synaptic and look at this --->  xubuntu-system-tools I think this might have that
[01:42] <gerhard> morning
[01:42] <schalken> iiiears: is there some sort of graphical configurer I can use (maybe download)?
[01:42] <gerhard> where can I find how mnuch RAM I have?
[01:42] <gerhard> im running breezy
[01:42] <njan> gerhard, free
[01:43] <mojojojo_> anarqi:  oh right... I'll check it... though I doubt it is that...
[01:43] <gerhard> what do you mean njan?
[01:43] <jrib> gerhard: cat /proc/meminfo
[01:43] <njan> gerhard, run the command free
[01:43] <gerhard> i understand
[01:43] <gerhard> thank you
[01:43] <anarqi> Xgates: dont apt-get that
[01:44] <anarqi> that will replace some of your gnome files
[01:44] <hercut_> mesieur bonjouer
[01:44] <Xgates> anarqi: ahh
[01:44] <anarqi> get the xubuntu-desktop
[01:44] <hercut_> bonjours pardon
[01:44] <gerhard> MemTotal:       500432 kB
[01:44] <gerhard>  <-- that means I have a 512 ram chip installed?
[01:44] <anarqi> yes gerhard
[01:44] <gerhard> ok thanks
[01:44] <Xgates> anarqi: ok, plus that is Ubuntu's version of XFce if I want to run it yea?
[01:44] <iiiears> schalkan - someone else might know  sudo -S gedit <your_file> should do it.   there are  many sample configs listed on the net.
[01:44] <traveller> gerhard: type "free -m" without the quotes to get the values in Megabytes
[01:44] <gerhard> ok
[01:44] <anarqi> but you are missing a good chunk of it to bios it seems
[01:45] <anarqi> xgates: give it a try if you want, it looks just like ubuntu default, cept its lighter
[01:45] <iiiears> schalkan - I understand why you want to be careful and get it right the first time.
[01:45] <mojojojo_> anarqi:  I don't get... everything seems to be installed properly... gcc is  ok
[01:45] <Xgates> anarqi: ok thanks
[01:45] <gerhard> i am running an asus m5a notebook, do you know if i can buy a second 512 mb chip and put it into the machine?
[01:46] <QPAD|w-busy> IB-, yeah i do. but which one? I have no clues about such things.
[01:46] <anarqi> can you show me some of the errors mojojojo?
[01:46] <IB-> what you talking about ?
[01:46] <QPAD|w-busy> (13:37:59) (QPAD|w-busy) I have 2 p4 dual core running, but only 1 shows up? I'm using ubuntu 5.10, Any clues of how to sort this out? please.
[01:46] <IB-> dunno, the one for your CPU, only with SMP ?
[01:46] <mojojojo_> anarqi: sure... just a sec
[01:47] <QPAD|w-busy> I don't know, I guess a need a SMP kernel to have the both cpus working huh?
[01:47] <rundy> Hi all, quick question, I'm trying to downgrade from mysql-server 5 to 4.1, but the downgrade aborts what should I try?
[01:47] <IB-> yeah.. look for one
[01:47] <QPAD|w-busy> which one?
[01:48] <rpt> ubuntu - xvids - anyone? :p
[01:48] <IB-> synaptic search for kernel smp
[01:48] <iiiears> QPAD|w-busy:  read this this morning.  https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/30570
[01:48] <Xgates> anarqi: otherwise if I want to just disable the scripts you have to like chmod -x to disable them
[01:49] <finger> hmmm ...
[01:49] <QPAD|w-busy> iiiears, what does that have todo with my problem ?
[01:49] <mojojojo_> anarqi: ok, I found the problem behind this
[01:50] <knanand> i have a problem with X Windows
[01:50] <iiiears> QPAD|w-busy: Okay, It mentions problems with CPU usage and smp kernels. - nvm
[01:50] <CiberSkull> hi, I have a SB live! but it's is detected has a SB Audigy LS, i can play music but the sound isn't the best, but the problem is when I try to use MPlayer to play my videos, a error message apears: "alsa-control: unable to find simple control 'PCM',0" i tried to use alsaconf to fix this, but I must be doing something wrong because ist's the same....anyone?
[01:50] <QPAD|w-busy> Yeah i know, But i need to knwo exactly which smp kernel to use :(
[01:50] <anarqi> Xgates: You should use update-rc.d to disable services from starting up if you dont use xubuntu
[01:50] <mojojojo_> anarqi: it appears shift to DD led to removal of entire pvm library... so the trick was to install it, stupid me :]
[01:51] <IB-> qpad: maybe the i686 smp one ?
[01:51] <rkr245> hi all
[01:51] <Xgates> anarqi: ok
[01:51] <QPAD|w-busy> IB-, what would the cmd be to download it ?
[01:51] <IB-> you dont know how to use synaptic?
[01:52] <QPAD|w-busy> nope
[01:52] <IB-> how do you install stuff on ubuntu?
[01:52] <anarqi> like this: update-rc.d -f serviceNAME remove
[01:52] <rkr245> apt GUI is synaptic
[01:52] <QPAD|w-busy> IB-, apt-get
[01:53] <rkr245> yes
[01:53] <IB-> QPAD|w-busy, so apt-get the kernel image
[01:53] <QPAD|w-busy> I use ubuntu server, sorry.
[01:53] <Xgates> anarqi: since Ubuntu has gdm installed for Gnome, then what do you use to boot into xubuntu as a graphical manager to boot either Gnome or XFce? I know how to do all of this by xinitrc but I thought I'd go the display manager bootup....
[01:53] <QPAD|w-busy> IB-, yeah but what exactly is the kernel image called? :D
[01:53] <IB-> do an apt search for kernel and smp
[01:53] <anarqi> xubuntu uses gdm too
[01:53] <IB-> and look
[01:53] <IB-> blah
[01:53] <IB-> laters
[01:53] <litz> one doubt, for installin the packages from this page: http://neutronic.mine.nu/ubuntu-breezy/ will I have to download one by one?
[01:53] <anarqi> at the login just switch the session
[01:54] <rkr245> IB-,presently iam using fedora and now iam planning to install ubuntu on one of my pc is there any different flavours in ubuntu
[01:54] <anarqi> rkr, IB left

[01:55] <anarqi> ubuntu
[01:55] <dsas> !tell rpt about restrictedformats
[01:55] <ArthurBrazil> edubuntu
[01:55] <kimo> rpt: I guess it just plays in mplayer!
[01:55] <rkr245> iam basically use this linux distros for Servers
[01:55] <iiiears> What file starts the gnome screensaver daemon?
[01:55] <rkr245> so which one is better for me?
[01:55] <litz> someone here uses Anjuta in Ubuntu?
[01:55] <ArthurBrazil> xubuntu
[01:55] <kimo> rkr245: server then install as server with no gui :)
[01:55] <dsas> rkr245: Grab the ubuntu-server install disk
[01:55] <anarqi> if you dont need a gui, just get the ubuntu server version
[01:56] <ArthurBrazil> byut if u want a gui then get xubuntu
[01:56] <rkr245> can i get all software with that?
[01:56] <ArthurBrazil> yea
[01:56] <rkr245> like in fedora
[01:56] <anarqi> otherwise get xubuntu and just add in the server packages
[01:56] <dsas> rkr245: Sure, you can even get desktop packages if you want.
[01:56] <Xgates> anarqi: with update-rc.d it seems you need to know the runlevels, but how do you just stop something like lvm, what cmd would you use for it?
[01:56] <dsas> Xgates: /etc/init.d/lvm stop
[01:56] <rkr245> iam using Sip Express Router and Asterisk
[01:56] <Chris_Tucker> whats a more light on system resources login manager other than KDM or GDM
[01:57] <ArthurBrazil> !tell rkr245 about LAMP
[01:57] <Chris_Tucker> ?
[01:57] <rkr245> so i need the CDR
[01:57] <Xgates> dsas: yeah but I mean stop it for good so it doesn't start at bootup
[01:57] <rkr245> LAMP?
[01:57] <Xgates> more like disable I mean .....
[01:57] <anarqi> sudo update-rc.d -f lvm remove
[01:57] <whadar> I'm suffering from a huge crash when I open ubuntu's updater!!! X restarts itself! anyone familiar with this?
[01:57] <Xgates> anarqi: ok so do the same for all the others like that I want to disable?
[01:58] <anarqi> chris tucker: xdm is lightweight, but you would need to add that in on your own, it doesnt come with ubuntu i dont think
[01:59] <anarqi> yes xgates
[01:59] <rapha> Nah doesn't
[01:59] <anarqi> if they are boot up services
[01:59] <anarqi> check what they are first though
[01:59] <Xgates> anarqi: ok thanks, and one last one, then if I wanted to enable it, how would I run it?
[01:59] <rapha> But seriously, unless you have maybe a P166, xdm won't give you any more speed than GDM or KDM
[01:59] <rage> Has anyone here had any experience streaming webcams? I.E from my computer to my office?
[02:00] <whadar> this is really frustrating... cant open the updater :(
[02:00] <ArthurBrazil> aanyone know how to get a vnc server going in ubuntu?
[02:01] <Xgates> anarqi: what is your definition of a bootup service I don't follow
[02:01] <Xgates> different distros seem to define this differently
[02:02] <anarqi> xgates: update-rc.d lvm defaults (to turn back on)
[02:02] <anarqi> i hate this client
[02:02] <anarqi> grr
[02:02] <anarqi> adding html crap
[02:02] <Xgates> whats with the HTML code?
[02:02] <Seveas> anarqi, wtf are you chatting with?
[02:02] <anarqi> gaim is doing it
[02:03] <Seveas> gaim is evil
[02:03] <anarqi> anyways, bootup services are what is listed in init.d
[02:03] <anarqi> when the system boots
[02:03] <Xgates> anarqi: ok so --->  update-rc.d lvm defaults ?
[02:03] <anarqi> yes
[02:03] <Xgates> ok
[02:03] <anarqi> brb im switching clients
[02:04] <Xgates> anarqi: what did you mean by bootup services, everything that is in /etc/init.d does bootup at startup, so to me I would call that/all of them bootup services
[02:04] <rixxon> seems i get alot of udp packets on the only forwarded port i have, from lots of random hosts. are these some kind of internet crawlers or what?
[02:05] <nvictor> j'arrive pas  installer PEAR pour php
[02:05] <rage> !fr
[02:05] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[02:05] <void^> rixxon: and what are you running on that port?
[02:05] <rixxon> void^: nothing at the moment, i just have one forwarded for bittorrent
[02:05] <void^> rixxon: that's exactly why
[02:06] <nvictor> nvictor@nvictor-ubuntu:~$ lynx -source  http://go-pear.org/ | php
[02:06] <nvictor> bash: php: command not found
[02:06] <rixxon> void^: yea but i guess i get alot of udp packets on lots of other ports aswell, but my router doesn't forward it to me. but what are these?
[02:06] <void^> rixxon: many bittorrent clients have distributed database implementations nowadays.. run bt once and get some udp packets for days
[02:06] <rixxon> void^: oh
[02:07] <rixxon> void^: thank you then
[02:07] <rixxon> void^: is this bittorrent data? -> d1:ad2:id20:...g.z...t ..~.C....e1:q4:ping1:t8:..w...r.1:y1:qe
[02:07] <rixxon> (dots are unprintable characters)
[02:08] <zax1> shortly after the installer retrieves (some 257 software ) packages for installation, and then unpacking and installing. the nstaller crashes. i am installing XUBUNTU, any one ever had similar expiriences ? any suggestions ?( by the way, the same laptop was fine when i installed win 2000,kubuntu and ubuntu)
[02:08] <void^> rixxon: i'm not that familiar with those protocols (especially as that isn't within common bittorrent specs), but it does look like bEncoded data
[02:09] <rixxon> void^: ah
[02:09] <void^> rixxon: (most bittorrent metadata and protocol uses bencoding)
[02:10] <rixxon> void^: (ok i see)
[02:11] <mdjake> ArrynnIM
[02:11] <Healot> b-64 encoding - confusing
[02:12] <finger> Hi guys, I'm having some skype issues with a web app that I'm using with ff + ubuntu. I have kind of explained the problem in this skype forum thread, and the reply I got was a little obtuse. Would someone be able to have a look at it for me and try to explain why I can't use skype with ubuntu ? ... http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=55326&highlight=
[02:12] <finger> or if someone has something to add, that'd be great ...
[02:12] <kimo> Hi, is there any typical 'cpu loading' for typical services, i.e. put DNS/DHCP on one machine (lite), put samba on a separate machine, same for squid ... (any per user cpu load statistics) ?
[02:13] <finger> Like, I said, skype just isn't working properly for me with ff ... :-(  ... which is really annoying, cause that was the last piece of the puzzle so to speak. And I'll have to change OS's if I can't get it working ... :-(
[02:13] <Xgates> anyone playing with the xubuntu-desktop?
[02:13] <POVaddct> Xgates: yes
[02:13] <Xgates> nice?
[02:14] <finger> I asked at #ff and they said that once the skype app is opened, then it's no longer a #firefox issue ... which sounds reasonable I suppose ...
[02:14] <kandinski> POVaddct: what exactly doesn't xfce have that gnome has?
[02:14] <Xgates> is it basically just regular XFce or changed around a bit, kinda a Ubuntu touch?
[02:14] <POVaddct> kandinski: xfce is smaller, less overhead
[02:14] <Xgates> kandinski: it's just lighter weight is the idea
[02:15] <Xgates> yeah WAY less overhead
[02:15] <Xgates> LOL
[02:15] <kandinski> but has all the same features?
[02:15] <kandinski> like, there is no compromise?
[02:15] <Tobberoth> I doubt it can have all the same features and still be so light.
[02:15] <POVaddct> Xgates: they have the latest beta (4.3.99) of xfce
[02:15] <Tobberoth> It takes no more than 128Ram or something
[02:15] <Xgates> kandinski: not really
[02:15] <Healot> minimal... yet we can call it ugly :-
[02:15] <Healot> hehe... nvm mind that
[02:16] <Tobberoth> Anyway, I ask the same question about KDE
[02:16] <Tobberoth> Why use KDE insted of GNOME?
[02:16] <POVaddct> Xgates: the default config looks much like the way gnome looks in ubuntu
[02:16] <Xgates> kandinski: but then again this is Ubuntu, so apt-get whatever you're missing  :)
[02:16] <Xgates> kandinski: -=---> http://www.xfce.org/
[02:16] <snoops> human abilty for choice Tobberoth
[02:16] <snoops> not everyone likes the same thing
[02:16] <Jozxyqk> hello.. im looking for a simple faq on how to "convert" a debian sarge installation into an ubuntu one.  is this possible?
[02:17] <Tobberoth> snoops: Yeah, but what is the different thing?
[02:17] <snoops> I haven't used kde much, but they take a more integrated approach, from what I've seen
[02:18] <snoops> konqueror being the default file browser and web browser.. similar file menu to that of windows
[02:18] <Jozxyqk> do i just have to make a change to my apt.sources file, or is it more difficult than that?
[02:18] <snoops> default theme feels kind of lollie like to me
[02:19] <Seveas> Jozxyqk, sarge  dapper is somewhat possible with careful apt pinning
[02:19] <Xgates> Tobberoth: from a developer stand point Gnome is a dependancy nightmare, actually I'm surprised to see the Ubuntu DEV team dealing with, it will be interesting to see how long it lasts. On the app side by default KDE has more of it's own apps then Gnome. Kde has a bigger Unix following and seems to have been a bit more on the stable side over the years too
[02:19] <[Wiebel] > hmm
[02:19] <Seveas> Xgates, snoops: desktop wars somewhere else please
[02:19] <[Wiebel] > what packet should in install to watch divx en mpegs with totem?
[02:19] <[Wiebel] > package even
[02:19] <Seveas> [Wiebel] , totem-xine and w32codecs
[02:19] <Tobberoth> Hmm, i see
[02:20] <Jozxyqk> seveas i am still not sure if "switch to ubuntu" is significantly better than "just use debian unstable".. but im looking to use xgl/compiz, and i know sarge doesn't directly support it
[02:20] <snoops> Seveas wow.. hang on.. he asked, I gave him my opinion, while not bashing either.. :)
[02:20] <[Wiebel] > Seveas: ok thansk
[02:20] <Xgates> Seveas: I'm not talking wars, I'm just answering a newbies questions about the DIFFERENCEs between KDE and Gnome   :)
[02:20] <Xgates> LOL
[02:20] <[Wiebel] > Seveas: is there a way to tell gnome to use something else then gnome per default?
[02:20] <Seveas> Xgates, until you start telling the truth about both desktops it's simply desktop wars, so quit it
[02:20] <efbie> Hello, a friend of mine has trouble playing audio cd on a ubuntu-server install. Anybody has ideas ?
[02:20] <Seveas> [Wiebel] , what do you mean?
[02:21] <efbie> (he's using xfce)
[02:21] <kimo> how do I determine the hardware specs required for Linux services (email/squid/apache ...) (any statistics?)
[02:21] <efbie> is there a special package to install or something ?
[02:21] <[Wiebel] > Seveas: well
[02:21] <Seveas> Jozxyqk, doesn't etch supprt xgl somewhat?
[02:21] <[Wiebel] > Seveas: if you want to watch an avi
[02:21] <[Wiebel] > it opens with totem
[02:21] <[Wiebel] > what if I want it to use mplayer?
[02:21] <Healot> !hardware
[02:21] <ubotu> well, hardware is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[02:22] <Jozxyqk> If I can get away with doing this without switching distributions.. or if i can find a specific set of instructions on how to switch to Ubuntu (im not familiar with apt pinning), id like to try either
[02:22] <Seveas> [Wiebel] , ah, rightclick on avi, file and select open with for a one-time change or properties for a permanent change
[02:22] <Jozxyqk> seveas - im using sarge.  etch is not stable yet
[02:22] <Jozxyqk> i could start using etch instead of using ubuntu
[02:22] <Jozxyqk> but im weighing my options
[02:22] <Seveas> Jozxyqk, the sarge->etch upgrade path will be smoother than sarge->dapper
[02:22] <Xgates> Seveas: well I didn't complete all I was going to say and you didn't let me, just so you know me, newbie I'm not, been on Freenode 8 years alot of Freenode staff know me and I don't cause wars, trouble or bash things, I just answer questions and help people, so you just misunderstood me was all   ;)
[02:23] <[Wiebel] > Seveas: great thanks
[02:23] <Jozxyqk> ive been using Linux for a zillion years, but dont have much experience with it on the desktop; i mostly do remote stuff
[02:23] <kimo> Healot: this is supported hardware! not hardware specs recommendation
[02:23] <Jozxyqk> is there a significant advantage to dapper over etch, though? or is it ultimately just down to package selection
[02:24] <Jozxyqk> assuming i dont need to upgrade everything every 6 months :)
[02:24] <kimo> Jozxyqk: polish all the way :)
[02:24] <Jozxyqk> kimo - polish what?
[02:24] <Seveas> Jozxyqk, i find ubuntu a much better integrated system than debian
[02:24] <Seveas> Jozxyqk, and the 'just works' experience is nice
[02:24] <Jozxyqk> so is it worth the hassle, to swap my system and move forward with ubuntu from there? do you think?
[02:25] <Seveas> Jozxyqk, if you have a partition to spare you can simply test
[02:25] <Jozxyqk> if so, can you point me to a faq/document on how to do the migration?  i am really surprised there's nothing i can find on the ubuntuforums site about this
[02:25] <zax1> shortly after the installer retrieves (some 257 software ) packages for installation, and then unpacking and installing. the nstaller crashes. i am installing XUBUNTU, any one ever had similar expiriences ? any suggestions ?( by the way, the same laptop was fine when i installed win 2000,kubuntu and ubuntu)
[02:25] <Xgates> Tobberoth: but just try them, they are a bit different and different apps, even at times having both can be nice, because some apps are only made for one desktop, not the other, so you need like the Kde Libs to get something Kde or the Gnome libs to get something Gnome like ....
[02:26] <Tobberoth> Xgate, won't downloading KDE-Desktop take a lot of extra space?
[02:26] <Tobberoth> and is it hard to switch between them?
[02:26] <Seveas> Jozxyqk, there probably is documentation but it boils down to pointing your sources to ubuntu, pinning dapper to 1001 and sarge to 50 and apt-get dist-upgrade and install a few useful metapackages (for kernel and desktop)
[02:27] <rapha> Tobberoth: yes and no
[02:27] <Seveas> zax1, live cd installer or tet-mode?
[02:27] <Jozxyqk> ok, i'll probably play around with this on a separate partition first, or something
[02:27] <Tobberoth> Because I wouldn't mind uninstalling amarok for GNOME and get the newest KDE version
[02:28] <Jozxyqk> maybe it would be easier to do a "fresh" ubuntu install, and then re-mount my home directories
[02:28] <Seveas> Tobberoth, ehrm... amarok == amarok
[02:28] <Seveas> there is no 'amarok for gnome' or 'amarok for kde', it's simply amarok
[02:28] <Seveas> Jozxyqk, that's definitely easier
[02:28] <Tobberoth> Seveas: Maybe so, but I can't find 1.4 for GNOME.. Ubuntu has 1.3 in the repositories
[02:28] <Jozxyqk> thanks seveas
[02:28] <Seveas> !info amarok dapper
[02:28] <ubotu> amarok: (versatile and easy to use audio player for KDE), section kde, is optional. Version: 2:1.3.9-0ubuntu4 (dapper), Packaged size: 7630 kB, Installed size: 18672 kB
[02:28] <Jozxyqk> ill be back again if i have more questions
[02:28] <Jozxyqk> bye
[02:28] <Seveas> Tobberoth, then 1.4 simply was released too late to be included
[02:29] <Tobberoth> I know, but I tried to install 1.4 from the kubuntu site.. it wouldn't work.
[02:29] <Seveas> Tobberoth, why not?
[02:29] <Tobberoth> No idea.
[02:29] <Seveas> did you add their repository or download a .deb file?
[02:29] <Tobberoth> I tried to use apt-get, but it was saying something about needing some sort of key
[02:29] <wij32> hey can someone help. im new to linux, just installed ubuntu, the grapihcal interface wont work with my monitor, its a 17" flat screen, any ideas?
[02:29] <Tobberoth> I thought it was KDE only stuff so I gave up
[02:30] <Seveas> Tobberoth, that with keys is simple
[02:30] <kimo> wij32: model of video card ?
[02:30] <Seveas> check www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic for instructions about gpg keys
[02:30] <Tobberoth> allright, I'll check
[02:30] <Seveas> don't bother reading the rest of the page, it's just the gpg keys that are useful for now ;)
[02:30] <wij32> kimo:128mb ati radeon x600
[02:31] <Tobberoth> Odd, that site won't load for me
[02:31] <Trackilizer> How does one get a daul headed VGA card to work?
[02:31] <protocol1> is there a way I can check the temp of my cpu in ubuntu?
[02:31] <Trackilizer> It's a no name card.
[02:31] <Seveas> When a repository in this list has a GPG key, you may need to add that to the APT trusted keys. You can do this with the following commands (replace KEY with the key ID)
[02:31] <Seveas>       gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv KEY
[02:31] <Seveas>       gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -
[02:31] <Tobberoth> nevermind, restarting firefox fixed it
[02:31] <Seveas> ^-- Tobberoth, those are the instructions
[02:31] <wij32> any ideas kimo?
[02:31] <Tobberoth> hmm i see
[02:32] <kimo> wij32: is that a laptop ? what happens on ur screen ?
[02:32] <Seveas> Tobberoth, the key ID in the case of ubuntu is DD4D5088
[02:33] <protocol1> is there a way I can check the temp of my cpu in ubuntu?
[02:33] <wij32> no its a desktop, its booting up, graphics and colour, then when it gets to login, it flashs and says resrart gdm when x configured correctly, then goes to text login
[02:34] <zax1> sorry was away, Seveas , its an installer
[02:34] <[Wiebel] > hmm
[02:34] <kimo> wij32: login as your user, then 'sudo -i' to become root (super user), then use "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to reconfigure your display.
[02:34] <[Wiebel] > Seveas: how do i tell totem-xine to use esd?
[02:34] <[Wiebel] > audio-driver:esd doesnt seem to do the trick
[02:34] <Seveas> protocol1, browse through /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/
[02:35] <Seveas> [Wiebel] , no idea, I use alsa
[02:35] <wij32> kimo: ive tried that, i dont think i know the correct settings as it failed to work
[02:35] <[Wiebel] > Seveas: the thing is that some other process uses alsa as well
[02:35] <[Wiebel] > (like sd)
[02:35] <[Wiebel] > esd
[02:35] <kimo> wij32: well then install the ati driver
[02:35] <kimo> !ati

[02:35] <kimo> Seveas: how do u write that!
[02:35] <[Wiebel] > Seveas: hmm?
[02:35] <wij32> kimo: how do i install the ati driver?
[02:36] <Seveas> kimo, simple:
[02:36] <kimo> grrr :)
[02:36] <Healot> follow the link, do exactly what the wiki says i think
[02:36] <kimo> wij32: follow the links ubotu just wrote
[02:37] <wij32> thanks
[02:37] <kimo> Seveas: really how do u write that?
[02:37] <[Wiebel] > Seveas: what do I have to do to get dmix working? :)
[02:38] <kimo> !dmix
[02:38] <ubotu> rumour has it, dmix is first try system>prefrences>multimedia system selector change it to alsa. for oss application type aoss <appl name> if still have problems then http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin

[02:38] <Tobberoth> sorry :)
[02:38] <[Wiebel] > I dont have system -prefs - multimedia :)
[02:40] <finger> running skype instance needs to be informed of call to be made. this was possible with d-bus (only). alas skype only supports obsolete d-bus0.23, which doesn't fit into most current distros.
[02:41] <finger> does this make sense to anyone ?
[02:42] <schalken> !msttcorefonts
[02:42] <ubotu> msttcorefonts is, like, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts - you'll need multiverse enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list first
[02:42] <Tobberoth> Maybe that's why Skype is so darn slow on my computer.
[02:42] <jbaloul> "american components, russian components, all made in taiwan"
[02:42] <schalken> lol whoever programmed ubotu is a genius
[02:42] <Anasco> hello
[02:42] <schalken> hi
[02:43] <schalken> :D
[02:43] <jbaloul> anyone know of an rdesktop hack to display seamless windows like citrix?
[02:43] <Anasco> i jsut installed ubuntu
[02:43] <Tobberoth> Good work Anasco :) hope you like it.
[02:43] <Anasco> yeah it's freaking me out
[02:44] <Healot> freaked out?
[02:44] <uNople> why's that Anasco?
[02:44] <Healot> isn't ubuntu suppose to be a bit light on new userS?
[02:44] <b14ck> how do i disable forced check of filesystem if pc crash?
[02:44] <Tobberoth> Healot: Possibly, but it's still a huge change, coming from windows to Ubuntu
[02:44] <Anasco> nope i mean i am really crazy abt it
[02:44] <Healot> yeah
[02:45] <Healot> especially when you don't really know what an OS does :)
[02:45] <uNople> you mean you're now a Ubuntu zealot? ;-)
[02:45] <Tobberoth> Exactly :)
[02:46] <Tobberoth> Well, i'm going to try to install KDE.. let's hope the comp isn't screwed up
[02:46] <Anasco> that's right
[02:46] <finger> Is anyone here running skype on their computer ?
[02:46] <jbaloul> i i
[02:46] <Anasco>  am really green w
[02:46] <jbaloul> finger whats the porblem?
[02:46] <Healot> finger: yeah, but I installed in Windows (NT), pretty easy heh
[02:46] <paul_> ive run skype, but i prefer gizmo
[02:46] <uNople> well people, I'm having a problem with my Equiliser, it's not working for some reason
[02:47] <Anasco> am really green where an OS is concerned
[02:47] <uNople> I'm using ALSA, and a creative audigy 2
[02:47] <knanand> X server not starting due to driver error for Intel - D101GGC board
[02:47] <Frogzoo> !tell Anasco about docs
[02:47] <b14ck> how can i get rid of the forced filesystem check?
[02:47] <knanand> i have downloaded the drivers from intel site, but dpkg warns that no compiler found for compiling modules
[02:48] <Frogzoo> b14ck: you really don't want to do that ....
[02:48] <finger> jbaloul, basically I've linked skype to the skype protocol in firefox, but when I try to click on a skype: call to link. Ubuntu fires up a 'dead' skype, with everything blanked out. Windows on the other hand, fires up skype and dials the number, and everything works perfectly ... :-(
[02:48] <knanand> any suggetion to resolve this issue
[02:48] <Frogzoo> b14ck: so don't ask in a support channel how to kill your OS, ;)
[02:48] <b14ck> Frogzoo:  but my pc crashes very often and i'm tired of waiting 5 min for it to start again
[02:48] <Healot> knanand: install "build-essential" and the kernel source/header package
[02:48] <b14ck> lol
[02:48] <syndicate47> anyone here speak hungarian?
[02:48] <finger> I'll be unhappy if I have to use a windows OS just because of this issue ... :-(
[02:48] <paul_> knanand: go into synaptic and start looking for compilers to install
[02:49] <knanand> Healot: can u give me the command for that, coz my X windows not running
[02:49] <Frogzoo> b14ck: perhaps figure out what's causing your pc to crash?
[02:49] <paul_> ubuntu doesnt support compiling or make out of the box
[02:49] <b14ck> Frogzoo:  it's very old...>.<
[02:49] <rpedro> knanand: apt-get install build-essential
[02:49] <Frogzoo> b14ck: have you run memcheck?
[02:49] <b14ck> Frogzoo:  no
[02:49] <knanand> thank you repedro
[02:50] <Frogzoo> b14ck: well that's step #1 - reboot to grub & select memtest
[02:50] <paul_> rpedro: build-essential is a one step process for installing all necessary build packages for ubuntu? did not know that
[02:50] <b14ck> Frogzoo:  but i think that may be the problem. when i removed one of the ram i have it stopped for some time
[02:50] <uNople> so has anyone heard of why my equiliser wouldn't be working? I'm using ALSA, and Dapper Drake.
[02:50] <Frogzoo> b14ck: most problems show up in 30mins, though leaving it to run overnight's a good plan
[02:51] <jrib> syndicate47: #ubuntu-hu
[02:51] <b14ck> Frogzoo: ok so i just do that. thanx
[02:51] <Frogzoo> b14ck: try reseating the dims/sims & then maybe try slacking off the bios memory times can help
[02:51] <rpedro> paul_: maybe it dont install the kernel headers
[02:52] <paul_> ic
[02:52] <wij32> could someone help me, im new, my montior isnt working with ubuntu, how do i install xorg-driver-fglrx?
[02:52] <b14ck> Frogzoo:  if i figure out what u said i might just try that :P
[02:52] <rpedro> knanand: what kernel have you got installed, for what arch?
[02:52] <maxy_noob> can someone help me install a bin file please (google earth)
[02:52] <Spy> hey guys, how do i mount drives so that they are always mounted at startup
[02:52] <Frogzoo> b14ck: reseat = take memory out, clean pins with an eraser, put back in
[02:53] <the_Kane> hey can any one recommend a good 2d game? i've got a sh** graphics card so it cant be a to detailed game.. ;)
[02:53] <jrib> Spy: use /etc/fstab
[02:53] <saxin> wij32: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[02:53] <rpedro> wij32: have you installed any gfx card propritary drivers?
[02:53] <Frogzoo> b14ck: then google -> memory timing bios
[02:53] <rigonatti> Does anyone knows a channel or can help me with Wine Execution?
[02:53] <wij32> no i havnt installed anything, someone told me to try that
[02:53] <b14ck> Frogzoo: lol oky. i'm not english. i understand now :P
[02:53] <maxy_noob> or please direct me where instructions exist?
[02:53] <anarqi> rigon there is #wine
[02:53] <anarqi> lol
[02:53] <jrib> rigonatti: #winehq
[02:54] <rpedro> wij32: maybe you have to edit the xorg.conf file and put the horizontal and vertical sync for your monitor
[02:54] <Spy> I changed the resolution manually in the graphics setting file, it worked for one boot but the next boot it reset the resolution lower again.. How can i avoid this?
[02:54] <wij32> can you help me do that?
[02:54] <rpedro> wij32: depends if its a crt or tft
[02:54] <wij32> tft
[02:54] <wij32> 17" tft
[02:54] <rpedro> wij32: then it should detect automaticaly, it's probably something else
[02:54] <b14ck> Frogzoo:  thanx dude. baybay
[02:55] <wij32> hmmm...im really new so dont know what else to try
[02:55] <wij32> it is detecting everything when i run reconfigure xserver-org
[02:55] <wij32> but when i run startx it says no screens found
[02:55] <rpedro> wij32: run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver'
[02:55] <kandinski> how do I restart the sound when it stops working?
[02:56] <kandinski> using dapper + firefox + flash + youtube normally works, just not now
[02:56] <wij32> i have run that, and it seems to be detecting it pretty well
[02:56] <rpedro> wij32: and select 'ati' or 'radeon' as gfx driver
[02:56] <wij32> yes
[02:56] <_mali_> kandinski: try alsaconfig
[02:56] <kandinski> alsaconfig and then?
[02:56] <wij32> i do all that, it auto detects all the settings, but when i startx it says no screens found and stays in text mode
[02:56] <uNople> does anyone know of a channel, or can help me with my equiliser not working? I'm using ALSA
[02:57] <_mali_> kandinski: thans all
[02:57] <_mali_> that is all
[02:57] <kandinski> sudo apt-get install alsaconfig says package does not exist
[02:57] <thegve> Hello. I'm writing an internet cafe application. Can I command line call the balloon thing in ubuntu to display "You've got 5 minutes left" messages?
[02:57] <thegve> what is the tool name for this.
[02:57] <maxy_noob> guys, say I have a bin file I'd like to install on my desktop, how do I write the path in terminal?
[02:58] <thegve> ./binname
[02:58] <rpedro> wij32: then maybe you can try backup your current xorg.conf, revert to the original version when installed and start from there
[02:58] <thegve> first cd to the directory
[02:58] <jrib> maxy_noob: ~/Desktop/file.bin
[02:58] <nooby_god> How does one get Beagle in Dapper?
[02:58] <maxy_noob> chmod 777 $/Home/userid/Desktop/filename?
[02:58] <Frogzoo> maxy_noob: ~/Desktop/blah.bin
[02:58] <thegve> ( @maxy_noob)
[02:58] <maxy_noob> thanks
[02:58] <nooby_god> I want to have Beagle, the search thingy
[02:58] <wij32_> sorry got d/c
[02:58] <wij32_> any ideas with my monitor then?
[02:59] !lilo:*! Hi all. Need assistance with English -> German translation. Can you help? Please /msg me. Thanks!
[02:59] <rpedro> wij32: then maybe you can try backup your current xorg.conf, revert to the original version when installed and start from there
[02:59] <wij32_> :S
[02:59] <maxy_noob> so: chmod 777 `/Deaktop/GoogleEarthLinux.bin?
[03:00] <rpedro> wij32_: or just move the current xorg.conf to another filename, and let dpkg-reconfigure create a new file
[03:00] <jrib> maxy_noob: if you fix your typos :)
[03:00] <maxy_noob> or sudo apt-get install ~/Desktop/filename.bin
[03:00] <thegve> apt-get doesn't work with files
[03:00] <wij32_> just run dpkg-reconfigure on its own?
[03:00] <protocol1> !ff1.5
[03:00] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[03:00] <kandinski> nooby_good: sudo apt-get install beagle
[03:00] <protocol1> !java
[03:00] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java and see also !javadebs
[03:00] <rpedro> wij32_: no, run the command I gave you before
[03:00] <the_Kane> QUESTION: where are all the temp folders and how can i delete the un-needed files? to free up disk space...
[03:00] <wij32_> zserver-org?
[03:01] <wij32_> x*
[03:01] <protocol1> !restrictedformats
[03:01] <ubotu> see !restricted
[03:01] <thegve> the_kane /tmp
[03:01] <protocol1> !restricted
[03:01] <ubotu> rumour has it, restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats. This page's intent is to enable you to play most non-free media formats that are not DRM encoded. Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats.
[03:01] <rpedro> wij32_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:01] <wij32_> ok, but what will making a new one achieve?
[03:01] <the_Kane> thegve: is that it.. ?
[03:01] <kandinski> if it doesn't install, then you need to do sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the sources for universe and multiverse: just remove the # at the beginning of each line that looks like code and not English
[03:01] <thegve> that is the temp directory
[03:01] <msturge_> hello everyone, can anyone help me with a Wireless internet problem. I have wpa_supplicant installed and running everything authenticates. After authentication i run dhclient eth1 and i get an ip...but i neet it to work automatically
[03:02] <thegve> the_Kane: firefox maintains it's cache in the user's profile dir
[03:02] <maxy_noob> Reading package lists... Done
[03:02] <maxy_noob> Building dependency tree... Done
[03:02] <maxy_noob> E: Couldn't find package
[03:02] <rpedro> wij32_: at least you get a fresh xorg.conf, and you can start again from there, less possibility of errors
[03:02] <maxy_noob> couldn't find package?
[03:02] <wij32_> ok
[03:02] <jrib> maxy_noob: you don't use apt with bin files, apt is for .deb packages in repositories
[03:03] <the_Kane> thegve: what about synaptget and apt-get... is that in tmp?
[03:03] <maxy_noob> sudo apt install?
[03:03] <thegve> I'll re-ask my question - How do I call the balloon thing to display a balloon text . Like the "you are almost out of diskspace" messages.
[03:03] <maxy_noob> what's the command then?
[03:03] <maddy_> anybody plays warsow  ?
[03:03] <thegve> the_Kane: apt-get clean
[03:03] <thegve> to clean apt's cache (downloaded packages that you've installed)
[03:03] <the_Kane> thegve: thanks ;)
[03:03] <jrib> maxy_noob: no, the bin file is just an executable, you probably just need to execute it: sh /path/to/file.bin
[03:04] <Frogzoo> thegve: xmessage will do it, - there might be a gnome equivalent
[03:04] <paul_> checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[03:04] <paul_>   what package do i need to install for this?
[03:04] <maxy_noob> that's it! thank jrib
[03:05] <jrib> paul_: libxml-parser-perl
[03:05] <paul_> jrib thanks
[03:05] <finger> arrgghh ... my crontab isn't working for some reason. I've checked all the permissions. Even this simple script won't execute. Can someone look at it for me ... ? ... http://pastebin.com/710650  ...thanks
[03:05] <thegve> Frogzoo: xmessage is a bit ugly... A balloon would me much nicer.
[03:05] <thegve> but it's at least one method..
[03:05] <Tobberoth> The command for starting GNOME is gdm, what's the command for kde? Just kde right?
[03:06] <thegve> kdm
[03:06] <thegve> K display manager
[03:06] <Tobberoth> ah, thanks
[03:06] <aCiD2> Hi there, anybody able to give me a hand, I think my partition table is brokened :( Basically, I want to install Ubuntu again, and have a 120gb hdd with 3 ntfs partitions atm: winxp, data and vinvista. I want to install ubuntu over vista (so delete the partition). However, the ubuntu partition manager shows 120gb of unallocated space, which is not right
[03:06] <finger> Tobberoth: do you have skype working on your system ?
[03:06] <aCiD2> I did dmesg | grep /dev/hdb and it shows a load of "bad sector" messages
[03:06] <Tobberoth> finger: Yeah
[03:06] <finger> Tobberoth, does the one-click call thing work ?
[03:07] <thegve> Tobberoth: /etc/init.d/kdm start
[03:07] !lilo:*! Kudos to everyone who responded. We're all taken care of on that English->German translation. Thanks!
[03:07] <thegve> Tobberoth: if you run this as root, you'll get a KDE login window
[03:07] <Tobberoth> finger: I don't know, I just use it to send files.
[03:07] <jrib> finger: ./home/babo/output.exe, the . means current directory which you probably don't want
[03:08] <Tobberoth> allright
[03:08] <asplode> acid: I had the same problem on my disk with multiple partitions, the installer didnt recognize any of them
[03:08] <msturge_> Re-posting my quesiton....no rush though: can anyone help me with a Wireless internet problem. I have wpa_supplicant installed and running everything authenticates. After authentication i run dhclient eth1 and i get an ip...but i neet it to work automatically
[03:08] <aCiD2> asplode, any solutions?
[03:08] <the_Kane> QUESTION: how do i browse files in nautilus as root?
[03:09] <Seveas> msturge_, network-manager is the solution
[03:09] <Seveas> the_Kane, why would you?
[03:09] <the_Kane> seveas: to delete files in /tmp
[03:09] <Seveas> the_Kane, same question, why would you?
[03:09] <Netcad> where can i find information of how to do a rescue disk for fc5?
[03:09] <msturge_> Seveas, ok i have the network -manager installed but it doesn't show any wireless options
[03:09] <Seveas> /tmp gets cleared every reboot, no need to worry about it
[03:10] <the_Kane> seveas: so i dont have tmp files laying around on my hard disk
[03:10] <Seveas> msturge_, you need network-manager-gnime (or -kde) too
[03:10] <the_Kane> seveas: oh ok thanks
[03:10] <the_Kane> ;)
[03:10] <selinium> hi  all, I am trying to convert an ASF file to an MPEG using mencoder, but I keep losing the sound. Any ideas?
[03:10] <finger> jrib: darn ... I missed that on my example script. But the original scripts are done properly and they still don't work ...
[03:11] <jrib> finger: can you post the originals?
[03:11] <msturge_> Seveas: ok i have that too and i run the nm_applet and it only shows eth0
[03:11] <Seveas> msturge_, which chipset?
[03:11] <msturge_> ipw2200
[03:12] <Seveas> msturge_, odd, that should work ootb...
[03:12] <finger> jrib: they are LONG ....
[03:12] <Frogzoo> msturge_: ipw2200 works out of the box, is the wifi turned on?
[03:12] <msturge_> Seveas: wpa_supplicant connects and authenticates.....i just don't like haveing to run it all in the terminal (dhclient after authentication)
[03:12] <Seveas> msturge_, could you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces?
[03:12] <Seveas> msturge_, so far you only created the wpa_supplicant config?
[03:12] <jrib> finger: the example one is working now, right?
[03:13] <msturge_> iface eth1 inet dhcp
[03:13] <msturge_> pre-up /sbin/wpa_supplicant -i eth1 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -w -B
[03:13] <msturge_> pre-up sleep 5
[03:13] <msturge_> pre-up /sbin/dhclient eth1
[03:13] <Seveas> msturge_, pastebin, not paste...
[03:13] <Frogzoo> msturge_: run 'sudo iwconfig' - should read 'eth1     unassociated  ESSID:"NETGEAR"     etc....
[03:13] <finger> jrib: just a sec ... I made another mistake (d'oh)
[03:13] <Seveas> anyway, that is horrible, can do much better with integrated wpa things
[03:13] <msturge_> oops....sorry...sadly i'm new to the irc thing....moreso than linux
[03:13] <Seveas> msturge_, remove all pre_up lines
[03:13] <Spy> any1 have an idea how I can burn mdf/mds  (FANTOM CD) files from linux?
[03:13] <nooby_god> How does one get Beagle in Dapper?
[03:13] <Seveas> msturge_, and add these two:
[03:14] <Frogzoo> Spy: wine & nero is the only way
[03:14] <Seveas> wpa-driver ipw
[03:14] <Frogzoo> Spy: wine & alcohol 120 soz, is the only way
[03:14] <jrib> nooby_god: enable universe and: sudo aptitude install beagle
[03:14] <Seveas> wpa-conf /path/to/your/wpaconfigfile
[03:14] <Seveas> msturge_, then it works automatically
[03:14] <nooby_god> jrib: then what?
[03:14] <jrib> nooby_god: then you should have beagle afaik
[03:14] <nooby_god> and what does aptitude do? I always thought it was apt-get
[03:14] <maxy_noob> Guys Dapper freezes with screen savers and now with Google Earth. I suspect these is a driver issue with my vid card?
[03:15] <jrib> nooby_god: should get to it by going to places > search
[03:15] <finger> jrib: nope ... I changed it to 15 8  * * * cd /home/babo/ && ./output.exe ... and still no go ...
[03:15] <jrib> finger: no, just put: /home/babo/output.exe <-- if you type that in a terminal it makes the directory right?
[03:15] <tobberoth> I just started KDE.. and it looks exactly like GNOME, except for the new programs O.o
[03:16] <nooby_god> I have a file called et in my home folder, how ever whenever I type in et in my terminal, it complains that the command et does not exist
[03:16] <jrib> tobberoth: are you sure you are in kde?
[03:16] <Spy> thanks
[03:16] <the_Kane> QUESTION: in java what does it mean when you get the error "couldn't load AWT toolkit" how can i fix this?
[03:16] <kdingo> nooby_god try ./et
[03:16] <maxy_noob> I'll assume that it is and that I should install ATi's latest linux drivers
[03:16] <tobberoth> I'll check
[03:16] <Seveas> the_Kane, ##java
[03:17] <the_Kane> is that a channel?
[03:17] <finger> jrib: yes, but it should work either way ...
[03:17] <maxy_noob> here's the rub: I don't know how to run a .run file. My name is maxy_NOOB
[03:17] <nooby_god> that works kdingo
[03:17] <nooby_god> thank you
[03:17] <kdingo> good god
[03:17] <kdingo> *good good
[03:17] <kdingo> lol
[03:17] <Ng> maxy_noob: chmod +x foo.run ; /path/to/foo.run
[03:17] <Seveas> nice typo kdingo
[03:17] <kdingo> :) thank you
[03:17] <msturge_> Seveas, ok now eth1 is showing up in ifconfig after i restarted the network. but it still isn't getting an ip
[03:18] <M_Fatih> hi..
[03:18] <project_2501> does anyone have any suggestions for P2P programs in Ubuntu, I just set up a ubuntu box for my girlfriend and she wants to download/share some songs
[03:18] <kdingo> azureus?
[03:18] <M_Fatih> how can i scan my fat partition? i need somethings like e2fsck
[03:18] <nooby_god> after I have beagle installed, how do I put the search box on the taskbar at the top?
[03:18] <jrib> finger: I don't know, I find that some things I think should work in cron end up not working, so I just stick with giving the full path to a script that does what I want
[03:18] <jrib> nooby_god: use deskbar
[03:18] <maxy_noob> ng should i write "foo"?
[03:18] <nooby_god> and do I need any fancy things for beagle for work?
[03:18] <Frogzoo> project_2501: azureus + frostwire
[03:18] <Ng> M_Fatih: fsck.vfat maybe
[03:18] <Ng> maxy_noob: no, "foo" would be replaced by the actual name of the .run file
[03:18] <project_2501> I noticed limewire was not in the package manager
[03:18] <nooby_god> I read I needed some options in my kernel for beagle to work
[03:19] <maxy_noob> k, just for me: what does "foo" stand for?
[03:19] <Frogzoo> !tell project_2501 about frostwire
[03:19] <zax1> have installed kubuntu as a server, and from the terminal am running "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start". but i get command not found, any ideas why not ?
[03:19] <jrib> nooby_god: I haven't touched my kernel and beagle works fine here
[03:19] <Ng> maxy_noob: it's just a generic term for "put the relevant information here"
[03:19] <maxy_noob> good to know. thanks
[03:19] <nooby_god> jrib: does the serach service start up on boot?
[03:19] <Frogzoo> maxy_noob: it's old army speak 'fubar'   = messed up beyond all recognition
[03:19] <Ng> zax1: try kdm
[03:19] <zax1> i did, same thing
[03:19] <jrib> nooby_god: should
[03:20] <project_2501> hmmm, frostwire looks promising, thanks mates ;)
[03:20] <nooby_god> alright jrib, so after a boot it will start for me
[03:20] <jrib> nooby_god: you should be able to search now, without restartin
[03:20] <void^> on the topic of foo: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3092.html
[03:21] <nooby_god> because it currently says: Serach Service not running, and there is button for starting the serach service
[03:21] <maxy_noob> here's what I did: chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.25.18-x86.run ; /Desktop/to/ati-driver-installer-8.25.18-x86.run
[03:21] <nooby_god> but when I press that button nothing happems
[03:21] <maxy_noob> didn't work
[03:21] <finger> jrib: this doesn't work either ... 21 8  * * * /home/babo/output.exe
[03:21] <project_2501> frostwire might be better for her because she is one of those ppl who downloads 1 or 2 songs from an album, whereas I would rather just get the whole album
[03:21] <void^> finger: is that actually a windows executable file?
[03:21] <Xgates> how do you use Synaptic for ---> 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get dist-upgrade'?
[03:22] <Ng> maxy_noob: /Desktop/ isn't a valid path, you need something like /home/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop/ or ~/Desktop/  (~ in unix means "my home directory")
[03:22] <Yoosah> Xgates: reload and mark all updates
[03:22] <jrib> finger: do you get any mail form cron?  (run 'mutt')
[03:22] <finger> void^: :-) ... nope ... wait a sec though, I think root may not be able to run scripts in babo ...
[03:22] <maxy_noob> ok, I'll try that
[03:22] <maxy_noob> can I rename the file to something shorter? will it affect the installation?
[03:22] <Ng> maxy_noob: yes you can, no it won't
[03:22] <Xgates> Yoosah: thanks, so "reload" is the update part?
[03:23] <nooby_god> how do I get deskbar-applet on my taskbar?
[03:23] <Seveas> nooby_god, rightclick on taskbar, click "add to panel"
[03:23] <jrib> nooby_god: after it is isntalled, right click on your panel and add it
[03:24] <Yoosah> Xgates: yep
[03:24] <Xgates> thanks
[03:24] <Yoosah> np
[03:24] <Frogzoo> nooby_god: 'sudo apt-get install deskbar-applet' - logout/in - right click taskbar - add applet
[03:24] <maxy_noob> I did this this time with the similar results:  chmod +x ati-driver.run ; ~/Desktop/to/ati-driver.run
[03:24] <maxy_noob> No such file or directory
[03:25] <nooby_god> Frogzoo: it is installed, but there is no add applet button, there is an add to taskbar button
[03:25] <finger> jrib: about an hour ago a cron script sent a mail ... so something must have been working ...
[03:25] <Frogzoo> nooby_god: log out /in
[03:26] <Frogzoo> nooby_god: yes - add to taskbar
[03:26] <maxy_noob> Ng?
[03:26] <Scognito> hi
[03:26] <nooby_god> I logged out and in
[03:27] <Frogzoo> nooby_god: right click - add to panel
[03:27] <kdingo> how do i get a script to run while linux is booting?
[03:27] <nooby_god> I added it, but it's in the middle of my bar, how do I move it over?
[03:27] <kdingo> automatically, i mean
[03:27] <nooby_god> kdingo: commands at boot?
[03:27] <aeon17x> !pastebin
[03:27] <Frogzoo> nooby_god: click on your desktop - then press F1
[03:27] <ubotu> Please do not flood the channel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ for pasting long texts it does not disrupt the channel. [webboard for Ubuntu: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 : not an offical package] .
[03:28] <nooby_god> sweet
[03:28] <nooby_god> thanks
[03:28] <maddy_> how do i setup my monitor to turn off after a while?
[03:28] <maxy_noob> Is this not the right command (provided there are no typos)? chmod +x ati-driver.run ; ~/Desktop/to/ati.driver.run
[03:28] <secureboot> i'm a little confused as to how the diskless ubuntu howto could work for multiple machines - each client has /etc/ mounted rw - wouldn't that be a big problem?   In waht you pasted they are different
[03:32] <mgalvin> all is well now :)
[03:32] <void^> Scognito: err, those matrox boards aren't known for 3d performance
[03:32] <maxy_noob> chmod +x ati-driver.run ; ~/Desktop/to/ati.driver.run
[03:32] <Scognito> void^, i used this card on my old p3 and it worked so great
[03:32] <maxy_noob> I don't see where they're different
[03:32] <maxy_noob> ati-driver.run
[03:32] <Scognito> same card, changed pc, installed ubuntu ( i had xfree before) and now it is slow
[03:33] <Ng> maxy_noob: you probably don't need the "to/" bit
[03:33] <void^> Scognito: i used to get decent performance in glTron on a celeron466 in 640x480 and 16bit, but it really can't handle more than that
[03:33] <Ng> maxy_noob: that confusion is probably my fault, sorry
[03:33] <maxy_noob> ah, thanks NG
[03:33] <maxy_noob> see wiki!
[03:33] <Scognito> i played tuxracer at about 30fps
[03:33] <maxy_noob> it's not just me
[03:33] <Scognito> now it is only 9
[03:33] <void^> Scognito: heh, well, try 16bit modes, makes a huge difference to 32/24 bit
[03:33] <Scognito> maybe xorg doesn't support well
[03:33] <Scognito> it was 24 bit on p3
[03:34] <Scognito> something really changed under
[03:34] <maxy_noob> still doesn't work :(
[03:34] <maxy_noob> chmod +x ati-driver.run ; ~Desktop/ati.driver.run
[03:34] <void^> Scognito: strange, try the matrox driver package
[03:34] <Scognito> tried
[03:34] <Scognito> but support is <= 6.8
[03:35] <void^> Scognito: doesn't matter, works anyway iirc
[03:35] <Scognito> btw i can try
[03:35] <Scognito> :)
[03:35] <Scognito> the installer didn't worked

[03:40] <Dr_Willis> Spy,  ive seen a lot of packages wrongly want the xlibs package. its not needed with the new X. but the pakcage makers dont realize that yet.
[03:40] <kdingo> vexmaster: so yours show messages while its booting but not while its shutting down?
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> !xlibs
[03:40] <ubotu> I heard xlibs is needed for cedega and opera.  use the xlibs-dev package
[03:40] <mitcheloc> heh, silly question, how do i install a norach type of rpm on ubuntu? rpm command = not found....
[03:40] <ondraster> how is it with sending CZ versions of ubuntu in Czech republic?
[03:40] <maxy_noob> is there a space in between "cd" and "~"?
[03:40] <zax1> many thanks
[03:40] <jrib> maxy_noob: yes
[03:40] <maxy_noob> same thing
[03:41] <Vexmaster> kdingo: ya, but onyafter i had installed nvidia drivers. did the same happen to you?
[03:41] <ubuntu> I sad!
[03:41] <maxy_noob> sudo chmod +x ati-driver.run ; cd ~/Desktop/ati-driver.run
[03:41] <maxy_noob> chmod: cannot access `ati-driver.run': No such file or directory

[03:41] <GaiaX11> CCedilla in ubuntu. How?
[03:41] <jrib> maxy_noob: where is ati-driver.run?
[03:41] <kdingo> vexmaster: i still have to check my graphics drivers. i don't think they're installed right. i don't even get messages when it's shutting down though
[03:41] <maxy_noob> on my desktop
[03:41] <ubuntu> I have problems and idk if it is from switching Vid cards or updating to dapper
[03:42] <Vexmaster> kndingo: just a blank screen right?
[03:42] <jrib> maxy_noob: no, do the cd ~/Desktop first, before anything else
[03:42] <ondraster> so.. i go off.. bye :P
[03:42] <maxy_noob> and then?
[03:42] <jrib> maxy_noob: follow the wiki
[03:42] <kdingo> vexmaster: 3/4 of it is blank. theres a bit in the upper left corner where it sometimes displays a bit of text during a fsck
[03:42] <Vexmaster> hmmm
[03:42] <zOap> what package should I install to get basic java?
[03:43] <maxy_noob> sorry jrib, follow the wiki?
[03:43] <Dr_Willis> !java
[03:43] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java and see also !javadebs
[03:43] <Spy> gnomefreak: Restarted, still no work
[03:43] <zOap> Dr_Willis, thanks :)
[03:43] <maxy_noob> (please be patient with me: I'm a nooby noob
[03:43] <jrib> maxy_noob: the wiki has instructions on installing the ati-driver, you can just follow them step by step, ubotu should have sent you a link in a private message
[03:43] <Vexmaster> kdingo: are you able to get terminal when using crtl+alt+F1?
[03:43] <_thief_> server irc.tin.it
[03:43] <maxy_noob> oh geez, I just saw ubotu's pm
[03:43] <maxy_noob> sorry
[03:43] <Frogzoo> !tell maxy_noob about docs
[03:44] <jrib> maxy_noob: or better yet, follow the doc.ubuntu link
[03:44] <jrib> maxy_noob: np, most people here are probably new
[03:44] <suprchris> would anyone mind helping me with grub?
[03:44] <kdingo> vexmaster: strange, it doesn't seem to recognise ctrl+alt+f1
[03:44] <dionysos_> suprchris: whats wrong with grub? :)
[03:45] <suprchris> i would just like to understand how to configure it
[03:45] <Vexmaster> kndingo: i have the same problem too
[03:45] <dionysos_> ah
[03:45] <MusicEatingPanda> i upated to dapper and switched to a Nvidia And now my computer wont boot past mounting the root file system and wont get a net connection and now i just booted a 5.10 CD and its saying i have a new fast usb device and then errors about it
[03:45] <suprchris> ubuntu and wiki don't really help me
[03:45] <dionysos_> and google? :)
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> suprchris,  the grub homepage has the definitive manual/book on grub.
[03:46] <dionysos_> cause grub isn't really ubuntu related
[03:46] <GaiaX11> How to view this word: cano in ubuntu, because it shows this word as can??o
[03:46] <suprchris> well you guys are so helpful on here i thought i'd give you a try
[03:46] <kdingo> vexmaster: i'll try googling for info in a bit
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> suprchris,  got a more specific issue with grub? its rather straight forwared once you learn the fundamentals of it.
[03:46] <jrib> suprchris: try to describe exactly what you want to configure
[03:46] <suprchris> well i'd like to change the boot order
[03:46] <byteshack> is there a new ubuntu unstable?
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> suprchris,  you mean the order of the menu entries?
[03:47] <suprchris> well yeah i suppose but thats not so important
[03:47] <byteshack> now that dapper is out of the way, is there a more "cutting edge" ubuntu yet?
[03:47] <suprchris> just want to change which one is booted as default
[03:47] <MrData> byteshack: edgy
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> suprchris,  thats trivially easy.. and mentioned in the comments of the grub.conf file
[03:48] <wildman> hello *
[03:48] <wildman> I have a question on Breezy x86
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> suprchris,  :P i set mine up where it auto-defaults to the last entry selected.
[03:48] <knanand> debian package is not getting installed, earlier error message was unable to compile and to resolve that we have installed apt-get install build-essential. But now the installation fails with unable to update kernel messae
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> suprchris,  the thing to rember about grub is that it STARTS counting at ZERO.
[03:48] <wildman> I'm trying to run an X-Window program on a breezy machine to which I'm connecting from dapper using ssh
[03:48] <suprchris> but when i open up the file in gedit or whatever to edit it it has all kinds of options and things that i don't understand
[03:49] <wildman> however, I'm getting that the display cannot be opened
[03:49] <wildman> what I'm expecting is the X app to open on this machine (dapper)
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> suprchris,  thats when reading and thinking and learning come into play. :P
[03:49] <suprchris> the way it's written is confusing other than that i don't have a problem changing things
[03:49] <suprchris> trust me i have that
[03:49] <suprchris> more than anything it's just confusing
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> suprchris, ## default num
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0,
[03:49] <Angel_Dex> i upated to dapper and switched to a Nvidia And now my computer wont boot past mounting the root file system and wont get a net connection and now i just booted a 5.10 CD and its saying i have a new fast usb device and then errors about it
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> rather clear . ;P    default 1, would boot the 2nd item by default ,, default 0 boots the first,
[03:50] <wildman> but so far, the best I could achieve is (after running xhost + on a VT opened in breezy) to open the window on breezy's display, instead of this one
[03:50] <suprchris> so if i wanted to boot the last item on the menu and there are 8 entries i'd put 7?
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> yep.
[03:51] <Dr_Willis> A+
[03:51] <suprchris> yeah i understood that
[03:51] <byteshack> are there edgy repositores available yet?
[03:51] <Dr_Willis> byteshack,  its unstable at the momemt i hear
[03:52] <maxy_noob> thanks ubotu. rebooting now and will confirm changes have been made. that's an invaluable page
[03:52] <byteshack> asdfasdf
[03:52] <suprchris> oh i notice how all the help things that ubuntu has tell you to backup the file that you're editing, but how would you replace the edited file if you messed it up with the backup?
[03:52] <joebush> Anyone know of a howto to get dialscreen working ?
[03:52] <MikeA> need help with ubuntu with ntlm (WARNING!! Newbie!)
[03:53] <xenalise> hey... got a problem with my keyboard
[03:53] <Dr_Willis> suprchris,  bash fundamentals.  the 'cp' command to copy things.
[03:53] <jrib> suprchris: mv /path/to/backup /path/to/file
[03:53] <Dr_Willis> !bash
[03:53] <xenalise> upgraded to 6.06 LTS the other day
[03:53] <ubotu> For a list of basic commands, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands
[03:53] <xenalise> and the GBP/pound sign doesn't work
[03:53] <mitcheloc> i'm trying to get monodevelop installed, i am using instructions from: http://www.howtoforge.com/monodevelop_ubuntu

[03:53] <xenalise> press shift + 3 and it still inserts "3"
[03:53] <webguy> where is sendmail located on a lamp install?
[03:53] <suprchris> obviously
[03:53] <jrib> ubotu: tell suprchris about cli
[03:53] <mitcheloc> when i try the sudo apt-get install gnome-devel... line, it says that the packages can't be found, am i missing something in my sources.list?
[03:54] <Dr_Willis> it pays to spend some time reading a few Bash Tutorials - its such a Core part of Linux.
[03:54] <xenalise> hmmm?
[03:54] <MikeA> has anyone compiled mod_ntlm2 with apxs?
[03:54] <finger> Has anyone got the skype one-click links to work on their desktop ? ... where you can just click on a skype link and it'll open the skype app and dial the number ?

[03:55] <SuseUX> Can someone post a copy of there xorg.conf for me?
[03:55] <Dr_Willis> SuseUX,  its diffrent for diffrent people depending on their video card/hardware

[03:56] <Dr_Willis> SuseUX,  where its at in the file? or what its settings are?
[03:56] <ericz> joebush: i have dual monitors, but they're the same resolution... i think i can make mine different though
[03:56] <SuseUX> Dr_Willis, where it's at
[03:56] <Dr_Willis>  X -configure   will generate a new default X config.. i think theres a ubuntu tool or 2 also that remakes them
[03:57] <joebush> ericz: extended desktop, or clone?
[03:57] <ericz> extended
[03:57] <xenalise> dpkg-reconfigure xorg ?
[03:57] <nooby_god> when I click on a link in Thunderbird, Firefox does not open, why?
[03:57] <joebush> ericz: how did you do that?

[03:59] <Cass> webguy :- /usr/sbin/sendmail ?
[03:59] <nooby_god> jrib: yes
[03:59] <gnomefreak> nooby_god: sudo update-alternatives --all  and make sure you choose what apps you want as default  one of them is x-www-browser or something like that that one is for what you want but i would config all of them
[03:59] <satlan32> RoyK - hello
[03:59] <ericz> joebush: my xorg.conf looks kinda like the one here= http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-81257.html
[03:59] <webguy> cass i didn't see it there although my php info says it is
[03:59] <satlan32> hello
[03:59] <SuseUX> Dr_Willis, ok ,thanks
[03:59] <ericz> joebush: the very first one on that page
[03:59] <joebush> ericz: thanks, I'll take a look
[03:59] <satlan32> i need help with my dial plan.. mysql() function
[04:00] <nooby_god> nvm I fixed it
[04:00] <Cass> webguy, try which sendmail
[04:00] <webguy> cass nothing happended
[04:00] <jrib> nooby_god: try setting firefox as default x-www-browser by running: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
[04:00] <satlan32> in this line MYSQL(Fetch foundRow ${resultid} firstname) the var foundRow get the value 1 if there is a line found
[04:00] <Cass> so its not installed then
[04:00] <webguy> i typed "which sendmail"
[04:00] <Cass> webguy
[04:00] <nooby_god> ok jrib
[04:00] <webguy> so how is my php script sending email?
[04:01] <MikeA> has anyone compiled mod_ntlm2 with apxs?
[04:02] <zOap> does anyone know of a good syntax editor with file browser and line numbering? I like scite, but it has no browser like context...
[04:02] <Angel_Dex> can a Nvidia MX4000 made by Asus make any major problems in linux with ubtunu?
[04:02] <Cass> webguy, mabey another mail app ?  try dpkg -l |grep mail
[04:03] <zax1> how do i start the xfce4 desktop from the terminal ?
[04:03] <webguy> does postfix install with the default?
[04:03] <Concord_Dawn> webguy: I believe so.
[04:03] <zax1> i followed this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingXubuntu  and it wouldnt work - i get command not found.
[04:04] <webguy> crud - i just deleted it!  i tried reinstalling but it is failing - this is bad
[04:04] <SuseUX> zax1, startxfce should be
[04:04] <Concord_Dawn> why's it failing?
[04:04] <webguy> i thought sendmail was up since my php info said it was
[04:04] <apokryphos> zax1: install xubuntu-desktop
[04:04] <Concord_Dawn> webguy: sendmail < postfix.
[04:04] <ubuntu_> hello, maybe its a strange question, but is there a way to swap the ubuntu icon in gnome(menu-bar) with a gnome icon?
[04:04] <webguy> i decided to install postfix then figured why not use sendmail
[04:04] <Concord_Dawn> because postfix is far more flexible and secure?
[04:04] <webguy> so i took postfix out and deleted /etc/postfix/*
[04:05] <zax1> how do i make it start by default every time the machine starts ?
[04:05] <Concord_Dawn> webguy: Did you apt-get remove postfix?
[04:05] <webguy> something like that
[04:05] <webguy> postfix: No such file or directory
[04:05] <bensode> morning everyone!
[04:05] <webguy> now what?
[04:06] <Concord_Dawn> webguy: When you install things with apt-get (which is the default way to do it in Ubuntu), you need to remove them with apt
[04:06] <Concord_Dawn> The easiest way to reinstall should be just doing sudo apt-get install -reinstall postfix
[04:06] <webguy> i did, but i saw that the directory still had files in it ... so i deleted them
[04:06] <GaiaX11> bensode, what do you mean by morning? :-)
[04:06] <zax1> k, woked now
[04:06] <Spy> what file should i edit to change my boots for grub?
[04:06] <Concord_Dawn> webguy: There's an option to remove configuration files when you remove.
[04:06] <zax1> should change the guide, there is a typo
[04:06] <dionysos_> webguy: to completly remove something
[04:06] <Concord_Dawn> Spy: it's in /etc/grub I think?
[04:07] <bensode> heh well it's morning here for me in the US at least =P
[04:07] <dionysos_> apt-get remove -purge
[04:07] <webguy> Concord_Dawn:  the command you gave me failed - it does not recognize -reinstall
[04:07] <webguy> can you check syntax?
[04:07] <HellDragon> im crawling in the dark
[04:07] <nooby_god> where do I report problems with networking?
[04:07] <dionysos_> there is a kernelupgrade today?
[04:07] <jrib> webguy: --reinstall
[04:07] <zax1> done now, i am using an intel motherboard with an intel graphics  driver, how do i install a better driver than the one shipped in xubuntu ?
[04:08] <Spy> concord_dawn, yeah i tried that one.. it is empty.. can this be?
[04:08] <nooby_god> I think I may have found a problem, it would be good if I talked with a developer
[04:08] <zax1> at the moment the screen is not spread across the entire display
[04:08] <Concord_Dawn> Spy: Does your grub still work? :-P
[04:08] <Spy> well my ubuntu boots from grub i think?
[04:08] <Concord_Dawn> it does indeed.
[04:08] <Concord_Dawn> So then it obviously is possible.
[04:09] <Concord_Dawn> Why do you need to edit your grub menu?
[04:09] <jrib> !bugs
[04:09] <webguy> faled again Concord_Dawn http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15765

[04:10] <Concord_Dawn> webguy: There's something stopping postfix from starting properly.
[04:10] <cjkrav> leave
[04:10] <webguy> any ideas how to troubleshoot Concord_Dawn
[04:11] <Concord_Dawn> yes.
[04:11] <Concord_Dawn> sudo apt-get remove -purge postfix
[04:11] <Spy> is it possible that the grub config is elsewhere?
[04:11] <Concord_Dawn> then try sudo apt-get install postfix
[04:11] <Spy> Or can't i edit it in the boot menu?
[04:11] <Concord_Dawn> Spy: Yes.
[04:11] <Concord_Dawn> You can edit the boot menu
[04:11] <kane77> how can I restore my theme? (human) I've made som modifications in the /usr/share/gdm/themes/human/...
[04:11] <Spy> *edit* that's the thing i didn't see a button/shortcuyt key for adding a new one
[04:11] <dionysos_> kane77: that wasn't smart :p
[04:12] <webguy> k that worked
[04:12] <Spy> is there a search command for bash?
[04:12] <Concord_Dawn> Spy: it's in /boot/grub/menu/lst

[04:12] <GaiaX11> how can i boot ubuntu not in gui mode? Because when i boot ubuntu it leads me to gdm login
[04:12] <dionysos_> mmm
[04:12] <dionysos_> i don't know what pakage that is
[04:12] <Spy> oh thanks concord thtas right
[04:12] <Concord_Dawn> GaiaX11: Just hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch out of graphical mode.
[04:12] <jrib> Spy: locate, find, whereis
[04:13] <webguy> k that worked, thanks Concord_Dawn you really helped me a lot!
[04:13] <bensode> GaiaX11: You can alter the default init code in /etc/inittab file but not sure what the Ubuntu runlevel to change it to
[04:13] <dionysos_> maybe you can find it on http://art.gnome.org/
[04:13] <Concord_Dawn> np webguy
[04:13] <Spy> thanks
[04:13] <Concord_Dawn> happy e-mailing.
[04:13] <dionysos_> losts of themes there :)
[04:13] <webguy> can you help me configure postfix to accept incoming email as well Concord_Dawn
[04:13] <dionysos_> i think the ubuntu one is there too
[04:13] <dionysos_> verry easy to install
[04:13] <dionysos_> download the file
[04:13] <dionysos_> then just drag it in your theme manager
[04:13] <GaiaX11> bensode, thanks
[04:14] <Concord_Dawn> webguy: Google can :-)
[04:14] <zax1> i am running xubuntu that was installed on the backof a breezy server install
[04:14] <zax1> but i need an intel driver for the display(or a better one than i am using) can anyone help?
[04:14] <dick-richardson> Anyone know where I should troubleshoot my laptop display issues? In power management I have the display set to sleep after it's been inactive for 5 minutes...but it doesn't
[04:14] <GaiaX11> Concord_Dawn, that was what i meant. Thanks anyway!
[04:14] <webguy> yeah i tried that - and ended up deleting postfix :)
[04:14] <IB-> how can i get the totem media player (with xine) to support deinterlacing /
[04:15] <Concord_Dawn> !postfix
[04:15] <ubotu> it has been said that postfix is the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for Ubuntu. Read more about setting it up here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Postfix or here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[04:15] <Concord_Dawn> second link webguy
[04:15] <dooglus> GaiaX11: control-alt-f1 won't affect ubuntu booting into gdm, and /etc/inittab won't help.  you want to use "update-rc.d" to do what you want.
[04:15] <maxy_noob> guys, I installed google earth but I can't find it in my menus
[04:15] <webguy> will try thx
[04:16] <dick-richardson> maxy_noob: do you have the debian menu installed?
[04:16] <maxy_noob> uhm, all I know is that I'm using the default gnome system that came with ubuntu dapper
[04:17] <Concord_Dawn> maxy_noob: It won't be in the menu most likely.
[04:17] <bensode> dick-richardson: Take a goole or Ubuntu forum seach on apmd for your power save issues.  That's what controls power settings on portables and some desktops
[04:17] <MetaMorfoziS> how can i convert s3m [MOD]  to mp3?
[04:17] <maxy_noob> :( How do I launch it then?
[04:17] <dick-richardson> bensode: thank you!
[04:17] <Concord_Dawn> GaiaX11: To disable the X server from starting all together, you need to edit your xorg.conf. It's in /etc/X11
[04:18] <Concord_Dawn> maxy_noob: Try locate'ing it.
[04:18] <MKR> Are there any GUI based APC UPS monitoring programs?
[04:18] <Concord_Dawn> (locate is a command)
[04:18] <v0lksman> Hello!  Anyone here today know anything about FreeNX or NX in general?
[04:18] <MKR> All I can find is a daemon that shuts down if the battery dies
[04:18] <IB-> anybody here know how to enable deinterlacing in any media player in linux (totem perfered)
[04:18] <dooglus> Concord_Dawn: he doesn't want to disable the web server.  he wants gdm not to run at boot.
[04:18] <maxy_noob> can someone help me put a shortcut in my menu (sorry, Windows user here)
[04:18] <dick-richardson> maxy_noob: install menu and menu-xdg for the debian menu
[04:19] <dick-richardson> it's probably in there
[04:19] <bensode> MKR: APC used to have a handy linux client to monitor APC UPS units but I don't think it's "free" anymore
[04:19] <webguy> Concord_Dawn: my question is how to check email that is incoming at this point
[04:19] <dionysos_> hey question: how do i get the new icons in my menu (i upgraded from breezy)
[04:19] <MKR> bensnode: I'm ok with non-free as long as it's not unreasonably expensice
[04:19] <MKR> thanks
[04:19] <dionysos_> and i still have the old icons
[04:19] <maxy_noob> ok, I'll look in synaptic
[04:19] <MKR> bensode
[04:19] <Concord_Dawn> dooglus: X server is your GUI.
[04:19] <dooglus> Concord_Dawn: I know
[04:20] <Concord_Dawn> dooglus: Then why do you call it a web server? It's not.
[04:20] <maxy_noob> menu-xdg appears to be installed already
[04:20] <bensode> MKR: Try a google seach on "apc linux"
[04:20] <dionysos_> hey question: how do i get the new icons in my menu (i upgraded from breezy)
[04:20] <zax1> running a slimmed down version of XUBUNTU, i need a driver but dont know how to install or find it, can any one help ?
[04:20] <maxy_noob> installing "menu"
[04:20] <Concord_Dawn> zax1: What driver do you need?
[04:20] <IB-> what is the best light-weight IDE ? anjuta ?
[04:20] <bensode> MKR: I just glanced the APC site didn't see anything that jumped out at me but google might have it cached somewhere =)
[04:21] <gnuaha7> zax1: driver for what???
[04:21] <zax1> a graphics driver for a 830m laptop board
[04:21] <MKR> Yeah, I'm probing google
[04:21] <MKR> thanks
[04:21] <maxy_noob> ok done. now what?
[04:21] <gnuaha7> zax1: why its doesnt start x??
[04:21] <dionysos_> zax1: what display ati or nvideo?
[04:21] <dionysos_> hey question: how do i get the new icons in my menu (i upgraded from breezy)
[04:21] <dooglus> Concord_Dawn: typo.  but his question was: "how can i boot ubuntu not in gui mode? Because when i boot ubuntu it leads me to gdm login"
[04:21] <zax1> neither , intel integrated
[04:22] <zax1> startx , ? i dont understand the question
[04:22] <dionysos_> zax1: just no display driver then
[04:22] <gnuaha7> dionysos_: the menu editor... alacarte i guess
[04:22] <dionysos_> gnuaha7: ?
[04:22] <Concord_Dawn> dooglus: If you look at the first party of the question, it says "How can I boot Ubuntu not in GUI mode?" You disable the X server to make this happen.
[04:22] <v0lksman> dooglus:  edit /etc/initab and change the default init to 3
[04:22] <dooglus> v0lksman: gdm runs in runlevel 3
[04:23] <dooglus> Concord_Dawn: that's overkill - it stops him using X at all
[04:23] <v0lksman> wha?  serious?  shit....I never looked in Ubuntu...only been using it for a week...sory
[04:23] <v0lksman>  :)
[04:23] <Concord_Dawn> dooglus: No it doesn't.
[04:23] <dionysos_> zax1: why do you need a display driver? if its intigrated it sucks anyways :p
[04:23] <dooglus> Concord_Dawn: he's asking about how to configure his boot process, not how to break his system
[04:23] <webguy> thanks for all your help Concord_Dawn
[04:23] <Concord_Dawn> When I have it set up like that, all I do is type gdm into the prompt and it pops me open gdm
[04:23] <Concord_Dawn> np webguy
[04:23] <zax1> what do u mean, "just no display driver" . i need a display driver for intel 830m integrated graphics controller. i cant seem to find where to manage my drivers and/or how to get a better one
[04:23] <Concord_Dawn> Well, ok, let me rephrase myself. Not disable X, stop it from starting with the system.
[04:24] <zax1> i need a driver cuz at the moment the display is not stretched across the entire screen
[04:24] <dionysos_> whats wrong with the driver now?
[04:24] <zax1> i need a driver cuz at the moment the display is not stretched across the entire screen
[04:24] <dooglus> Concord_Dawn: what's the setting in xorg.conf for that?
[04:24] <inFw> Hello. I've recently updated from 5.10 to dapper and lost sound. It was working fine before. I've been googling and found out it's because I'm not using the new kernel, which I'm not because it kernel panic's. Further research showed me that it's a conflict with acpi (it's a laptop). Any suggestions on how I can get the new kernel working?
[04:24] <dionysos_> zax1: linux installs the right driver when you installed it
[04:24] <zax1> i have about an inch on left right up and down margins
[04:24] <dionysos_> lol zax1
[04:24] <dooglus> v0lksman: "ls -l /etc/rc*.d/*gdm" - shows you which levels *S*tart or *K*ill gdm
[04:24] <dionysos_> change resultion
[04:25] <dionysos_> is it a laptop?
[04:25] <xbeanx> I installed totem-xine but now totem won't run...  I wanted to get embedded media in firefox and the wiki said I needed totem-xine.
[04:25] <zax1> ok dionysos_, so i guess since linux did it right the first time and it sucks any way i dont need any help
[04:25] <xbeanx> Is this a known problem?
[04:25] <zax1> thanks you were great help ;)
[04:25] <dionysos_> change resolution :p
[04:25] <zax1> cant
[04:25] <snoops> inFw I'm sure others are far more knowledgable on the subject, but you could try upgrading to dapper (6.06) and see how it goes
[04:25] <v0lksman> cool..thx dooglus....learnt soemthign today... :)
[04:26] <Greyscale> Question: How do I get my network computer (samba) to show up in my save-as menu?
[04:26] <Greyscale> Used to be able to in breezy...
[04:26] <v0lksman> you could install the boot-cfg in Automatix and use it to change the init level that gdm automatically starts...
[04:26] <tubbie> !java
[04:26] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java and see also !javadebs
[04:26] <dooglus> v0lksman: what I'm trying to work out is how to edit those links using update-rc.d - but it doesn't seem to be able to do it?
[04:26] <Concord_Dawn> inFw: No idea. I'm running the newest kernel on my 8 year old desktop.
[04:26] <zax1> how do i add the 1024,768, ability ?
[04:26] <inFw> snoops: I did. That's the problem. When I updated on reboot the new kernel gave me a kernel panic. I now can only get into ubuntu using the old kernel.
[04:26] <Concord_Dawn> And it runs fine when I dual-booted my laptop.
[04:26] <Greyscale> Question: How do I get my network computer (samba) to show up in my save-as menu?
[04:26] <Concord_Dawn> inFw: What laptop do you have?
[04:27] <inFw> Concord_Dawn a toshiba satellite m70
[04:27] <Concord_Dawn> Greyscale: Please only ask your question once. Someone will help you shortly.
[04:27] <dooglus> GaiaX11: looks like the best answer is "get package 'bum' and disable 'gdm' in level 2"
[04:27] <Greyscale> eep!
[04:27] <Greyscale> I hope so..
[04:27] <Concord_Dawn> inFw: You can look around in the wiki and see if there's been any problems recorded with it.
[04:28] <v0lksman> dooglus: is bum the Boot-Up Manager?
[04:28] <dooglus> v0lksman: yes!  :)
[04:28] <inFw> Concord_Dawn: I've been doing that but will search again just in case. Thank you. :)
[04:28] <v0lksman> dooglus:  sweet...that's what I was talking about...its available through Automatix if you want the easy way.. :)
[04:28] <tubbie> firefox crashed when trying to load a ajava applet
[04:28] <Concord_Dawn> no problem. Can't help you further. I'm not a kernel engineer.
[04:28] <dooglus> v0lksman: I'd rather not.  I've heard bad things about it.
[04:29] <v0lksman> dooglus:  yeah?  hrm....I installed it on a different machine yesterday but didn't mess with it much....
[04:29] <Greyscale> So anyone got a clue how to answer my quetion Oo?
[04:29] <dooglus> !automatix
[04:29] <dooglus> hrm.
[04:30] <dooglus> I thought ubotu had something to say about it
[04:30] <v0lksman> automatix itself isn't bad...I fuond it handy to get java and firefox to play nice....
[04:30] <v0lksman> I haven't played with bum much though
[04:30] <IB-> can anybody recommend me on a good & light-weight IDE in linux ?
[04:30] <dionysos_> hm
[04:30] <dionysos_> how can i get the new icons in the menu? :p
[04:30] <raptros-v76> Greyscale: whats your question?
[04:30] <Concord_Dawn> IB-: What's wrong with the IDE that comes with Ubuntu?
[04:30] <kdingo> IB: gedit
[04:30] <bensode> ib: light-weight ide?
[04:30] <IB-> Concord_Dawn, which is what?
[04:30] <Concord_Dawn> dionysos_: Look for a gnome menu editor.
[04:31] <IB-> i'm talking about development IDE.....
[04:31] <Concord_Dawn> Oh.
[04:31] <Concord_Dawn> Vim baby.
[04:31] <Concord_Dawn> www.vim.org
[04:31] <dionysos_> yea

[04:31] <dionysos_> i have that...
[04:31] <Concord_Dawn> and it's in the repositories.
[04:31] <dionysos_> but then?
[04:31] <Concord_Dawn> dionysos_: Use it?
[04:31] <dionysos_> where do i find the new icons?
[04:31] <dionysos_> :p
[04:31] <dionysos_> cause its still the old ones
[04:31] <IB-> no vim
[04:31] <jtj> i downloaded and installed the drivers for my monitor yesterday and then the screen went completely black, as if switched off, this morning i have got a screen, but the resolution is stuck at640x840 and the refresh rate at -21213, could someone help, please
[04:31] <IB-> something i can learn fast
[04:31] <raptros-v76> Greyscale: what? wait what are you trying to do?
[04:32] <v0lksman> Greyscale:  mount the drives....
[04:32] <Greyscale> It is.
[04:32] <Greyscale> Its in my places menu
[04:32] <Greyscale> But not in my save as panel
[04:32] <v0lksman> yeah....use the mount command and mount them to /media/something
[04:32] <kdingo> IB-: it's not lightweight but if you're into java, eclipse is good
[04:32] <Greyscale> how?
[04:32] <IB-> i need for C++
[04:32] <v0lksman> its kinda a known "issue" with nautilus....I was reading about it yesterday...best bet is mount
[04:32] <IB-> i use eclipse for java
[04:32] <dionysos_> anny idees where the location is?
[04:32] <raptros-v76> IB-: use anjuta
[04:32] <dionysos_> of the new icons?
[04:33] <v0lksman> sudo mount -t smbfs //IP/share /media/something
[04:33] <IB-> ok, tnx
[04:33] <Greyscale> Thanks =3
[04:33] <Greyscale> I'll try it now
[04:34] <MrData> speaking of mount:
[04:34] <MrData> I simply want to mount a network folder. I'm using Ubuntu (Debian) Linux. The network folder is on a network with a Windows 2003 domain controller. I tried to mount, but I'm having many problems. But, I can access the drive using Nautilus (smb:// URL), I just can't mount it.
[04:34] <v0lksman> might wanna add an -o uid=<youruser> if you want to be able to write without sudo
[04:34] <MrData> sudo smbmount //awc-server-1/DOC /mnt/doc -o username=xxxxx,workgroup=xxxxx
[04:34] <MrData> cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. 4885: protocol negotiation failed  SMB connection failed
[04:34] <jo_e> hi.  Can anyone explain why I don't have /dev/video0 when i'
[04:34] <v0lksman> MrData:  that's beyond me man... :)
[04:34] <jo_e> ve run sudo modprobe bt-8xx
[04:34] <IB-> laters
[04:34] <dionysos_> cause you don't have a webcam? :p
[04:34] <jo_e> i have a tv tuner
[04:35] <v0lksman> MrData:  I know I had to install a couple extras for Samba from a fresh Dapper install...
[04:35] <jo_e> i mean, modprove dvb-bt8xx
[04:35] <MrData> v0lksman: At least I'm getting responses. ;> On the #Samba channel(s), it's so quiet.
[04:35] <cafg10> i recently had to reinstall windoze and it overwrote grub, how can I recover it?
[04:35] <v0lksman> MrData: for example the mount command didn't know what smbfs was, so there was a package for that....and I think there was another one...can't remember exactly right now though
[04:35] <tubbie> just google the error message
[04:35] <MrData> v0lksman: I think I've installed everything, but configuration I'm not sure about. :>
[04:35] <apokryphos> cafg10: FAQ
[04:36] <snoops> cafg10 you boot into the live cd
[04:36] <Greyscale> v0lksman: 'snot working
[04:36] <snoops> chroot into your ubuntu install
[04:36] <v0lksman> I find samba is really easy on configs when you are moutnign locally...the config is more for windows machiens to see the linux mounts....
[04:36] <snoops> then reinstall grub
[04:36] <snoops> I'll get the guide..
[04:36] <Concord_Dawn> !tell cafg10 about grub
[04:36] <jtj> anyone able to help with screen resolution, please
[04:37] <apokryphos> jtj: have you read the FAQ entry on it?
[04:37] <v0lksman> Greyscale:  What's it doing?
[04:37] <Concord_Dawn> snoops: Or following the wiki page on it. :-P
[04:37] <Skorgu|Work> I was running Breezy and upgraded to Drake no problems, now Software Updates can't upgrade gdk-imlib1, apt-get dist-upgrade just says its being left back. This is only mildly annoying but can I get rid of it?
[04:37] <jtj> yeah iinstalled drivers yesterday
[04:37] <jtj> the screen went completely black
[04:37] <MrData> v0lksman: I read in the Samba docs that Samba is always a server. (confused.) I don't get it. ;> Ah, well.  You don't need a samba client for Windows either.
[04:38] <Greyscale> Thats my command in its entireity
[04:39] <jtj> what is x
[04:39] <v0lksman> hence the samba config is for the server (IE when you want windows to see the linux box as a machine on the network with shares)...and the client access shares on remtote machiens...no config needed....
[04:39] <apokryphos> jtj: are you able to get into gnome now?
[04:39] <jtj> yeah i am now
[04:39] <apokryphos> jtj: and you just have the incorrect resolution set?
[04:39] <apokryphos> jtj: ok, then read the guide on fixing your resolution in the FAQ.
[04:39] <snoops> actually that's what I was looking for Concord_Dawn
[04:39] <v0lksman> Greyscale:  might be wrong but the trailing slash on your share name is not needed....
[04:39] <jtj> and i go the sytem/screen resolution and then i cant adjust it
[04:39] <lakcaj> Skorgu|Work: try explicitely installing the left back package with apt-get
[04:39] <sarek> has anyone of you managed to get ndiswraper to work under dapper? I had it running under 5.10 for half a year or so. But after the upgrade to dapper yesterday, ndiswrapper cannot be compiled :-(
[04:39] <Concord_Dawn> snoops: It's in ubotu's !grub
[04:40] <Concord_Dawn> sarek: You don't need to compile it.
[04:40] <Greyscale> V0lksman: still doesn't work
[04:40] <Concord_Dawn> sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[04:40] <jtj> it wont adjust
[04:40] <v0lksman> Greyscale:  error?
[04:40] <Greyscale> same error
[04:40] <Concord_Dawn> I think that the make/gcc for Dapper are broken.
[04:40] <snoops> what's the command to see all of ubotu's commands?
[04:40] <v0lksman> whcih is?
[04:40] <Greyscale> I IM'd you it
[04:40] <joebush> ericz: using that config I got cloned fullscreen with same res for some reason
[04:41] <Greyscale> Oh. PM from unregistered users are blocked.
[04:41] <sarek> Concord_Dawn, sure? I did install ndiswrapper-source and nidswrapper-utils and then used module-assistant to build the binary
[04:41] <Greyscale> matthew@Neko:~$ sudo  mount -t smbfs //<IP_ADDRESS>/Group /media/Denshikeisanki/
[04:41] <Greyscale> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //<IP_ADDRESS>/Group,
[04:41] <Greyscale>        missing codepage or other error
[04:41] <Greyscale>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[04:41] <Greyscale>        dmesg | tail  or so
[04:41] <v0lksman> hahaha...plus I'm in here not the forums... :)
[04:41] <exxpert> anyone who could help me with a problem with amsn?,, everything works ok but when i want to choose an smiley from the menu, it doesent show up in the message, the smileymenubox just disapers,, anyone has a solution or a lead to me?
[04:41] <joebush> ericz: well, I guess it's better to say that I got X running again, but no change
[04:41] <v0lksman> Greyscale:  Go into synaptic and look for smb packages...one of them adds the functionality to mount for smbfs...you are missing that piece
[04:42] <Greyscale> Oh god. Silly me XD
[04:42] <Concord_Dawn> sarek: You should be able to simply do sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper.
[04:42] <Concord_Dawn> That's what I did
[04:42] <ericz> joebush: oh.. well, do you have two gfx cards?
[04:42] <v0lksman> took me a while to figure that out when I installed ubuntu too.. :)
[04:42] <ericz> joebush: or one with two outputs?
[04:42] <joebush> ericz: no. same card with 2 outputs
[04:42] <v0lksman> yeah apt wll get it too...either way... :)
[04:42] <Greyscale> XD
[04:43] <GSF> quit
[04:43] <Greyscale> V0lksman: new error!
[04:43] <sarek> Concord_Dawn, I just tried ... the package ndiswrapper cannot be found
[04:43] <Greyscale> 11555: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
[04:43] <Greyscale> SMB connection failed
[04:43] <exxpert> no one with that wierd amsnproblem here?
[04:43] <Concord_Dawn> !tell Greyscale about pastebin
[04:44] <higen> anyone having problem with the new kernel update? (i686)
[04:44] <v0lksman> Greyscale:  ok this is giong to be windows userlevel permissions I think....try adding -o username=<windowsuser>,password=<windowspasswd>,uid=<unixuser>
[04:44] <Greyscale> Its not a windows computer.
[04:44] <Greyscale> Its another ubuntu box
[04:44] <Skorgu|Work> lakcaj: That did it, thanks. I'm a gentoo guy so this apt stuff is all new to me :)
[04:44] <v0lksman> ahhh
[04:44] <v0lksman> uhm...well it would act the same....so you need to use a username and password that has perms to see the info on the remote side
[04:44] <Greyscale> Cool.
[04:45] <joebush> ericz: here is xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/710788
[04:45] <joebush> looks fine as far as I can tell
[04:45] <Greyscale> Horray for v0lksman!
[04:45] <Greyscale> it works!
[04:45] <v0lksman> got it?
[04:45] <Concord_Dawn> sarek: I think that the make and gcc versions for dapper are broken.
[04:46] <v0lksman> NICE!  :)
[04:46] <Greyscale> Thanks v0lksman =3
[04:46] <v0lksman> no probs!
[04:46] <Greyscale> ^^
[04:46] <Concord_Dawn> You might need to get the ones before.
[04:46] <v0lksman> So no FreeNX people here?
[04:46] <Greyscale> nope
[04:46] <Mastastealth> ive used freenx
[04:47] <Concord_Dawn> v0lksman: I'm looking into FreeNX, but I think I'd like VNC better.
[04:47] <MrData> v0lksman: What's the uid=<unixuser> part for re smbmount?
[04:47] <v0lksman> CD:  why?  its so slow!  :)
[04:47] <sarek> Concord_Dawn, so downgrade gcc and make?
[04:47] <exxpert> anyone using amsn in here!?
[04:47] <Mastastealth> FreeNX? SLOW?
[04:47] <Mastastealth> thats funny
[04:47] <MrData> wouldn't that be me, anyway?
[04:47] <MrData> (confused)
[04:47] <Concord_Dawn> because you can have VNC and SSH going at the same time. VNC for when I'm sitting on LAN and SSH for when I'm not :-)
[04:47] <v0lksman> masta:  nono...vnc =slow
[04:47] <Concord_Dawn> sarek: Yes.
[04:47] <cherwin> exxpert: :^)
[04:47] <sarek> hmm ok, thanks
[04:47] <Concord_Dawn> Try building it with 3.x
[04:48] <raptros-v76> Concord_Dawn: why do you think that gcc and make are broken? they work fine for me.
[04:48] <v0lksman> masta:  how do you connect to an existing session if the session wasn't created with freenx?
[04:48] <exxpert> finally cherwin
[04:48] <exxpert> :-)
[04:48] <Mastastealth> yea, i dont like vnc becuz its slow, freenx is an awesome alternative
[04:48] <exxpert> cherwin, is your smileys working ok?
[04:48] <Concord_Dawn> raptros-v76: Because, I've had compilation problems with then before.
[04:48] <Concord_Dawn> them, even.
[04:48] <sarek> raptros-v76, but can you build the ndiswrapper packages?
[04:48] <cherwin> exxpert: yes everything works fine
[04:48] <raptros-v76> Concord_Dawn: what kind of things?
[04:48] <Mastastealth> v0lksman: i dont think it is possible, i wanted to do that with a regular ssh session but had not success :(
[04:48] <kyath> does anyone know of how to get access diver working in ubuntu
[04:48] <cherwin> exxpert: did you installed the latest version?
[04:48] <Concord_Dawn> raptros-v76: Can't remember, was before I reinstalled Dapper.
[04:48] <v0lksman> man...that's a big bummer...
[04:49] <labo> I can't install gcc-3.4.6
[04:49] <v0lksman> there has to be a way though....I can't believe there isn't....
[04:49] <mystamax_> Is it possible to map a key combination to LOCK my computer???????
[04:49] <Mastastealth> v0lksman: yea, it MIGHT be possible, but I personnally don't know
[04:49] <exxpert> cherwin, i have this problem,, when i want to choose a smiley it doesent work,, but triggs with letters in msg..
[04:49] <raptros-v76> Concord_Dawn: the problem could be with something else. and if make and gcc were broken you wouldnt be compile anything
[04:49] <exxpert> cherwin, yes last vers..
[04:49] <Concord_Dawn> raptros-v76: True enough.
[04:49] <v0lksman> I know with RDP there is a couple ways to do that depending on the mode the server is running in....and this is a competitor to RDP so there has to be a way....
[04:50] <raptros-v76> Concord_Dawn: it could be the makefile was bad.
[04:50] <yccheok_> ultraedit is a rich feature and user friendly editor. does linux world has such a similar editor?
[04:50] <Concord_Dawn> What gcc and make versions does the build-essentials package install?
[04:50] <cherwin> exxpert: is this with the default skin? or with a newly installed one?
[04:50] <aalya> Can you tell me the command for active nvidia plz? (run in consol///)
[04:50] <exxpert> both..
[04:50] <yccheok_> i.e., it can build a list of function list in ur c code, where u can navigate it easily
[04:50] <rigonatti> =( someone with patiente to teach how to configure and use Wine ? I had tryed all tutorials but still getting erros =(
[04:50] <v0lksman> MrData:  sorry..missed your post....it sets the owner of the mount to your user
[04:50] <Concord_Dawn> rigonatti: err.
[04:50] <sarek> I was told by one of the ndiswrapper developers, that the package in dsapper is quite outdated and that the problems should not appear with the current version from sourceforge
[04:50] <Concord_Dawn> dude. sudo apt-get install wine
[04:50] <Concord_Dawn> tada, you have wine.
[04:51] <Mastastealth> aalya: "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable"
[04:51] <exxpert> cherwin, thanks anyway..:-)
[04:51] <Concord_Dawn> sarek: Then grab the latest one from the sourceforge.
[04:51] <rigonatti> Concord_Dawn:   Im already installed .... but having problems starting programs :(
[04:51] <aalya> Mastastealth: Thanks
[04:51] <Concord_Dawn> rigonatti: The command is wine <path to program>
[04:51] <cherwin> exxpert: are you using the default skin?
[04:51] <sarek> Concord_Dawn, but those packages dont support building it "the debian/ubuntu way"
[04:51] <exxpert> cherwin, yes!
[04:52] <Concord_Dawn> sarek: It doesn't matter.
[04:52] <NoUse> mystamax_ Ctrl+Alt+L already does that
[04:52] <v0lksman> rigonatti:  google search for lotus notes running in wine and you should find a step by step of getting Lotus to run under wine....it should answer a lot of your questions on how wine works...
[04:52] <sarek> Concord_Dawn, I know that it doesnt matter - but I dont like it ... it kind of messes up my clean system :-)
[04:53] <mystamax_> NoUse, Thanks so much very helpful
[04:53] <rigonatti> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/710798
[04:53] <Concord_Dawn> sark: Not if you install it correctly.
[04:53] <v0lksman> rigonatti:  there is no easy answer for wine...its a tricky app....
[04:53] <cherwin> exxpert: i'm searching the FAQ but i cannot find any answers, just remove amsn and everything that belongs with it, your settings etc. then reinstall it and everything will work as aspected
[04:53] <Concord_Dawn> All a .deb is is a set of binaries with instructions on where everything goes.
[04:53] <exxpert> cherwin, i wil ltry that..
[04:53] <Concord_Dawn> Plus some other stuff.
[04:54] <exxpert> cherwin, thanks..
[04:54] <sarek> well, I'll see, thanks ... for now it seems that my card works with the rtl8180 driver quite fine
[04:54] <cherwin> exxpert: you're settings are in your $HOME/.amsn
[04:54] <sarek> I'll have to test that :-)
[04:54] <v0lksman> rigonatti:  first why PS?  why not Gimp?  second:  wine "c:\program files\adobe\photoshop\photoshop.exe"
[04:54] <tenco> nautilus doesnt recognize installed nautilus scripts, neither in /usr/share/nautilus-scripts nor in $HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
[04:54] <v0lksman> rigonatti:  you have to specify full windows path as it is under the .wine dir
[04:55] <rigonatti> first:   GIMP open .PS or .AI   ???   second :  I have tryed this path ... =( ....
[04:55] <tenco> has ubuntu restricted nautilus?
[04:55] <exxpert> cherwin, i will test that..
[04:55] <rigonatti> you mean c:/windows ?
[04:55] <ubuntu_> is there a way to replace the ubuntu icon in the gnome menubar?
[04:55] <higen> how can i swap between which kernel versions that are going to be default in grub?
[04:55] <Tommy2k4> i have it set to mount a networked pc on boot up but that pc isnt always on when i boot, any way to make it auto mount when its turned on or at least keep trying every few mins until it is
[04:55] <v0lksman> rigonatti:  I thoguht gimp could handle .PS....
[04:56] <rigonatti> .AI too ?
[04:56] <v0lksman> rigonatti:  you must get a second error when using c:\program path....
[04:56] <v0lksman> rigonatti:  not sure...try it...can't hurt....already installed by default in dapper
[04:56] <rigonatti> just PS :(
[04:56] <mystamax_> Is it possible to unmount a drive via Gnome? Everytime I try it states, Unable to unmount, only root can unmount.
[04:56] <rigonatti> Xasara should work
[04:56] <rigonatti> v0lksman ..hold on
[04:57] <Concord_Dawn> mystamax_: Nope. You have to be root.
[04:57] <errpast-wc> I want "vi" to launch with numbers on file lines
[04:57] <mystamax_> Concord_Dawn:  so the only way is via CLI
[04:57] <errpast-wc> :set nu
[04:57] <errpast-wc> do I create a .vimrc, and at :set nu?
[04:57] <errpast-wc> in my ~
[04:57] <Concord_Dawn> mystamax_: Or log into Gnome as root ;-) But that's highly unrecommended.
[04:58] <rigonatti> v0lksman : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/710806
[04:58] <v0lksman> that's the same thing you sent last time
[04:58] <Malikith> mystamax_: you can actually just edit your fstab and make it user mountable and umountable
[04:58] <v0lksman> do a 'pwd' in the directory that photoshop.exe is sitting in and send that over
[04:59] <Spy> hey, is there a way to stop ubuntu from loading an autostart for all cds?
[04:59] <mystamax_> Malikith: I thought there was a way to adjust that. Are you familar w/ what you stated? Do you know the correct syntax or can you point me in the right direction
[05:00] <kenneho> Hi all, is there some easy, safe way of resizing one of my Ubuntu partitions?
[05:00] <juuva> for some reason ubuntu 6.06 freezes when trying to shutdown, it just can't deconfigure network interfaces
[05:00] <noname1024> hello. how to install gaim chat client ?
[05:00] <rigonatti> nope
[05:00] <Tommy2k4> sudo apt-get install gaim
[05:00] <Concord_Dawn> !tell mystamax_ about fstab
[05:00] <noname1024> thanks
[05:00] <Concord_Dawn> !tell kenneho about parted
[05:01] <Concord_Dawn> huzzah for dual-monitors.
[05:01] <Concord_Dawn> Funky iTunes visualizers ftw.
[05:01] <Malikith> mystamax_: Yeah I know how to do it, you will need to pop up a terminal and cd to /etc and then type sudo nano -w fstab to edit fstab , what kind of device are you trying to make unmountable, is it a removable drive or one thats sata/ide?
[05:01] <rigonatti> v0lksman : I cant figure out how do this ....even if a APP works with ADobe Files =(
[05:01] <Tommy2k4>  i have it set to mount a networked drive on boot up but that pc isnt always on when i boot, any way to make it auto mount when its turned on or at least keep trying every few mins until it is
[05:01] <Concord_Dawn> Tommy2k4: Write a crontab script for it.
[05:02] <mystamax_> Malikith: its SATA in this particular machine, I have my drive partition 4 times and  I have 2 windows based partitions that i dont want mounted
[05:02] <Concord_Dawn> !tell Tommy2k4 about crontab
[05:03] <Tommy2k4> thanks
[05:03] <Malikith> mystamax_: Do you want them mounted sometimes or never?
[05:03] <finger> So skype doesn't work properly on linux then ?
[05:03] <Subhuman> finger, does for me
[05:03] <exxpert> finger, on mine it does..
[05:03] <Concord_Dawn> !skype
[05:03] <ubotu> skype is, like, totally, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeHowto/ Breezy deb: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages/
[05:03] <finger> Subhuman: do you have the skype protocol one-click links working ? ...
[05:03] <finger> or anyone else for that matter ...
[05:04] <Concord_Dawn> finger: Follow ubotu's links and you shall find.
[05:04] <mystamax_> Malikith: I have one I don't mounted @ all, and I'd like to mount the other when need be.
[05:04] <Subhuman> no, i just connect with peoples usernames.
[05:04] <finger> Concord_Dawn: I've followed, I've found, and yet I'm still searching :-(
[05:04] <Subhuman> that is a ff issue
[05:04] <Subhuman> not skype
[05:04] <finger> Subhuman: hmm ... according to them it's a linux dbus issue ...
[05:04] <Concord_Dawn> finger: You want callto:// links to work?
[05:05] <Tommy2k4> Concord_Dawn:  will it run as root or how would i make it so it doesnt ask for password every time
[05:05] <MrData> YAY! My solution was to mount as "cifs" instead of "smbfs". Apparently, smbfs doesn't do well with more recent Microsoft mounts.
[05:05] <Malikith> mystamax_: alright, well umount them both now, then edit your fstab by popping up a terminal and typing cd /etc then typing sudo nano -w fstab then you will see all your mounts on your system
[05:05] <finger> Concord_Dawn, indeed - it's very important for a web app I've been working on for longer than I'd care to mention ...
[05:05] <Concord_Dawn> Tommy2k4: I think you can edit a file to make it not ask for a password for mounting, but I can't remember the instructions.
[05:05] <v0lksman> rigonatti:  I'm not sure what you mean...
[05:06] <MrData> This took much time to research! samba.org doesn't seem to mention this big problem!
[05:06] <mystamax_> ok, May I ask what the -w switch does?
[05:06] <Concord_Dawn> finger: The should work just fine. All you do is click it and Firefox should ask you "Do you want to use an external application to handle this link?" and then Skype should just use it.
[05:06] <rigonatti> I mean ....when you install Wine, its just start the winecfg chosee the APP in Aplications tab tehn type wine program ?
[05:06] <Subhuman> finger, can you not just copy + paste? itz like 5 seconds of your life.
[05:06] <Malikith> mystamax_: It doesn't do much, just disables wrapping of long lines
[05:06] <v0lksman> MrData:  I haven't had any probs mounting Win2k3 NTFS shares with smbfs...but you got a working solution... ;)
[05:07] <tenco> someone using nautilus scripts with success here?
[05:07] <tenco> in dapper
[05:07] <tenco> s/in/with
[05:07] <Concord_Dawn> tenco: Why use nautilus scripts when you can use Bash scripts?
[05:07] <mystamax_> Malikith: Cool thx
[05:07] <MrData> Searching http://www.experts-exchange.com/ eventually helped. Thanks to Google!
[05:07] <finger> Concord_Dawn: should work but doesn't ... I've associated the protocol and configured ff ... but still it won't work properly. It'll open skype but it won't dial ...
[05:07] <Subhuman> tenco, yes.
[05:07] <leafw> !xgl
[05:07] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems.  Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[05:07] <pidey> Hmm, I'm having a problem with wine, when I run a program in wine... NOTHING happens.  I'm sure I've installed wine, I've configured it, and I'm using the correct command to run it.
[05:08] <v0lksman> rigattoni: no...just install wine...run wincfg to setup your .wine directory then use command line to lauch your app to start with
[05:08] <tenco> Subhuman: how? i tried to install scripts via apt-get but nautilus doesnt recognize it
[05:08] <finger> Subhuman: hmm ... and what about the months of my life spent building a web app that's supposed to work seemlessly ... ?
[05:08] <finger> s/seemlessly/seamlessly/
[05:08] <kenneho> I need to free some space on my root partition (I have two partitions: / and /home). Anyone got any ideas on how to locate obsolete/unneccesary files?
[05:08] <Subhuman> tenco, you need nautlius-script-manager
[05:08] <Concord_Dawn> finger: You should test out the requirements of your webapp before you build it.
[05:08] <Malikith> mystamax_: in the fstab you see your drives and stuff, all your mounts on your system, and then you see your ntfs mounts, under <options> do the ntfs ones say defaults or do they have more than just that?
[05:08] <v0lksman> rigattoni:  but when you run command line you need to specify the "windows" directory that the app is installed in....
[05:08] <Subhuman> finger, exactly.
[05:08] <Concord_Dawn> kenneho: locate?
[05:08] <Subhuman> wat Concord_Dawn said*
[05:09] <mystamax_> Malikith:
[05:09] <mystamax_> Malikith: more than that
[05:09] <kenneho> I should probably resize the partition, but I'm afraid my data may be lost.
[05:09] <tenco> Subhuman: its installed
[05:09] <Concord_Dawn> kenneho: Back up then resize.
[05:09] <Malikith> mystamax_: what exactly does one of them say?
[05:09] <finger> I've tested out the requirements ... and when people said that skype worked fine on dapper, I believed them ...
[05:09] <Concord_Dawn> you should test it.
[05:09] <mystamax_> Malikith: ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[05:09] <Concord_Dawn> That way you know.
[05:09] <v0lksman> rigattoni: I know this isn't the app you are trying to install but this may clear up a few things: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/UseNotesWithWine.htm
[05:10] <tenco> Subhuman: you simply installed scripts with apt-get and it worked?
[05:10] <kenneho> Concord_Dawn: I haven't got enough DVDs/CDs to back all of it up. :(
[05:10] <MrData> v0lksman: Thanks for all of your help!
[05:10] <Concord_Dawn> kenneho: That's unfortunate. I have a whole network harddrive that I can use ;-)
[05:10] <Malikith> mystamax_: Alright, add this, do this line, defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46,user
[05:10] <finger> Not the end of the world either, I personally prefer using ubuntu to windows. But my clients don't care. If linux once again proves to be incapable of handling the simple tasks that windows boxes can handle, then it's no skin off my nose frankly. Just a bit disappointed that's all ...
[05:10] <PuGz> hey guys. i was wondering if someone could help me get my new tv card to work with dapper?
[05:10] <v0lksman> MrData:  np...!
[05:10] <Scorpio[Pt] > ppl can someone take me a doubt?
[05:10] <kenneho> Concord_Dawn: You got any ideas on space-consuming, unneccesary programs/files I should consider deleting?
[05:10] <Malikith> mystamax_: Just add user at the end like that to both of them
[05:10] <PuGz> its a Yuan PD 300 mini
[05:11] <Concord_Dawn> kenneho: Linux? :-P
[05:11] <pidey> Hey, I'm having a problem with running a program in wine... When I use the command line to run it (I'm sure its right command) no windows or anything pop up.  I"m sure wine is configured/downloaded/installed correctly.
[05:11] <kenneho> Concord_Dawn: :)
[05:11] <Concord_Dawn> finger: Linux is much better than Windows in millions of ways. Don't knock it.
[05:11] <Subhuman> tenco, no installed nautilus-scripts-manager, then i stuck the scripts in /usr/share/nautilus-scripts then ran nautilus-scripts-manager and they were i nthe context menuy
[05:11] <Malikith> mystamax_: And what ntfs partition did you not want mounted ever, was it the main one? And do you recognize which one it is in your fstab?
[05:11] <finger> Concord_Dawn: I'm not knocking it as such ... just a bit disappointed that's all ...
[05:11] <jae686> well, anyone was able to run wipeout 2097 on ubuntu?
[05:12] <PuGz> anyone good at getting TV cards to work?
[05:12] <mystamax_> Malikith: ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1    <-- Do I add it after the numerical 1 OR add comma and then add user w/o spaces
[05:12] <Concord_Dawn> finger: Well I'm quite sure it's fixable anyways. Take a look at your FFox and Shype configurations.
[05:12] <Subhuman> well finger the brilliance is if there is a problem you can whack open the linux source to fix it :D
[05:12] <mystamax_> Malikith: good question let me double check
[05:12] <GaiaX11> How do i chang that image kubuntu while booting my system?
[05:12] <Scorpio[Pt] > ipcs -m | grep "ei" |cut -f2 -d' ' | xargs ipcrm shm
[05:12] <Scorpio[Pt] >  ----> HOW do i make, to do this command delete the shared memory and semaphoro arrays to the current user instead the user ei* ???
[05:12] <v0lksman> if you know how!
[05:12] <Malikith> mystamax_: Before the 0 after gid=46 so it would be gid=46,user
[05:12] <kdingo> GaiaX11: do `sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so`
[05:12] <v0lksman> later all!
[05:13] <rigonatti> latter !
[05:13] <finger> Subhuman: hmm ... rebuilding the linux dbus is a little beyond the clients price range ... :P
[05:13] <kdingo> GaiaX11: then select one of the alternatives
[05:14] <kdingo> there is a way to get more, but i haven't done that yet
