[03:53] <airtonix> samsss, ok now right click networkplaces and select map network drive
[03:53] <fenerli7> I can't get my Logitech Quickcam IM working on Ubuntu hardy :(
[03:53] <samsss> airtonix, ok wait one sec
[03:53] <SiegeLord> Is there a way to stop the auto-upgrade thing from removing my custom installed packages?
[03:54] <airtonix> samsss, then browse...you should see virtual box shared folders'
[03:54] <Indoctrine> airtonix: What do you suggest now that my printer isn't listed there?
[03:54] <jrib> Clutz: I have the same card with 256 mb and it "just works"
[03:54] <journeyer> !automate
[03:54] <fenerli7> About the Logitech webcam: I have tried "sudo modprobe gspca" after finding out the webcam needs some spca5xx driver or something but nothing, opening "cheese" or something turns the light of the webcam on but no video
[03:54] <Clutz> jrib: the 256MB card is PCI Express tho right?
[03:54] <journeyer> !cloning
[03:54] <samsss> airtonix, excellent man... now i can dual work, windows and linux at the same time... dude thanks
[03:54] <airtonix> Indoctrine, tea, biscuits, picket signs and some patience while you setup a picket line infront of the offie of the manufacturer
[03:54] <airtonix> samsss, :)
[03:55] <StooJ> I want to format an external drive to ext3 from FAT, it's a truecrypt volume just now but according to the Truecrypt faq it's fine to reformat it. Is mkfs.ext3 /media/externaldrive right?
[03:55] <hell_lord> anyone have any ideas?  the last log message is from yesterday when i closed my laptop lid.  it suspends, and then this morning i opened it and it hung
[03:55] <airtonix> Indoctrine, the other option is to use virtualbox to make use of your printer.
[03:55] <hell_lord> now whenever i boot i can't start x and no logs are created because the root is mounted read-only
[03:55] <jrib> Clutz: yes
[03:55] <Clutz> jrib: mine is AGP 8X
[03:56] <cedriczg> hell_lord, did you try to suspend your laptop again?
[03:56] <Clutz> jrib: i have seen articles on the 256 working easily but nothing on the 512
[03:56] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i thought of it but i can't figure out how - it looks like it only works through gnome :-(
[03:56] <airtonix> StooJ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[03:56] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i couldn't find any relevant command or script in init.d
[03:56] <cedriczg> hell_lord, do you use dual boot?
[03:56] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I downloaded and installed the drivers that would supposedly get my printer to work... I also don't have the disk space to VirtualBox.
[03:57] <airtonix> Indoctrine, is it a usb printer?
[03:57] <hell_lord> cedriczg: nope.  i would have mounted my root from the livecd and made changes but my root is encrypted in an logical volume :(
[03:57] <jrib> Clutz: I'd remove all the crap envy and the manual install did and then try to troubleshoot
[03:57] <StooJ> Thanks airtonix
[03:57] <Gnea> Clutz: ooo, somehow, it's trying to use the vesa driver instead of nvidia - can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[03:57] <Indoctrine> airtonix: Yes.
[03:57] <Clutz> Gnea, ok
[03:57] <Ishnu> I have read that you can telnet an IP adress with a certain port, to determine if that port is open on the target system. But wouldn't this method just work if the target IP adress was using that port for telnet, and not anything else?
[03:57] <airtonix> Indoctrine, can you provide a product page please?
[03:57] <cedriczg> hell_lord, so what ha[[ened just when you booted after the suspend?
[03:58] <ponicg> Hi all, I jus twanted to let you know that hte GRUB GRUB GRUB error is grub not finding the stage1 loader
[03:58] <Indoctrine> airtonix: Details on the printer or the website I got drivers from?
[03:58] <hell_lord> cedriczg: normal boot except gdm fails, complaining about X server not running
[03:58] <Clutz> Gnea: the backed up one before i restored right?
[03:58] <Gnea> Clutz: and btw, AGP != PCI-E
[03:58] <airtonix> Indoctrine, for the printer so i can see specs
[03:58] <hell_lord> cedriczg: root is mounted read-only (i thought because of that, but maybe something before that happens)
[03:58] <Gnea> Clutz: no, just the current one please
[03:59] <cedriczg> hell_lord, did you check already in forums?
[03:59] <jrib> Gnea: line 1819 has it looking for nvidia and failing in Clutz's paste by the way
[03:59] <Clutz> Gnea: I had to restore the default xorg so i could boot
[03:59] <myself> How can I flash my bios. OS: hardy 32, Notebook: compaq v6112au
[03:59] <hell_lord> cedriczg: yeah, this happened to me before actually but it was just a config issue with xorg.conf
[03:59] <jansenq> Has anybody got ubuntu installed on a asus m3a79 motherboard?
[03:59] <Gnea> Clutz: when it goes black like that, you should be able to ctrl-alt-f1
[03:59] <Indoctrine> airtonix: Will this work? http://www.ciao.co.uk/Canon_PIXMA_MP210__6700100
[03:59] <cedriczg> hell_lord, For search on ubuntu issues you can try as well www.googlubuntu.com
[03:59] <Clutz> Gnea: oh, i didn't know that =P
[03:59] <Clutz> Gnea, should i try again?
[04:00] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i think it's an issue with the Xauthority file being there still
[04:00] <Gnea> Clutz: go for it
[04:00] <Ishnu> I have read that you can telnet an IP adress with a certain port, to determine if that port is open on the target system. But wouldn't this method just work if the target IP adress was using that port for telnet, and not anything else? Does anyone know what method of scanning ports NMap uses?
[04:00] <Clutz> Gnea: brb then
[04:00] <Gnea> jrib: yeah i saw that too - looks like there could be some conflicting drivers installed
[04:00] <jrib> Gnea: meh maybe you are right about it trying to load vesa though
[04:00] <tijuana> hi again!
[04:00] <airtonix> Indoctrine, keep this aside for reference later on : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems
[04:00] <hell_lord> cedriczg: but that doesn't explain why the root gets mounted read-only.  this is the big problem.  i removed the read-only on error part from fstab and i am also editing the grub boot line and removing "ro", so i don't see why it's still mounting read-only
[04:01] <airtonix> Indoctrine, have you read this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556980
[04:01] <hell_lord> cedriczg: and in addition mtab is read-only so whenever i try to remount it tells me it's mounted already.
[04:01] <Gnea> jrib: yeah, vesa has historically given unpleasant results with nvidia equipment, particularly when a framebuffer is involved
[04:01] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I have, it didn't work
[04:01] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i tried to force it.... and it says it's mounted rw, but it still isn't :-
[04:01] <tijuana> I managed to install RutilT (the GUI for my wireless adapter) but when I load it instead of characters I only see squares :S
[04:01] <airtonix> Indoctrine, or this : http://geekozoid.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-use-canon-mp210-on-ubuntu-804.html
[04:01] <Indoctrine> airtonix: Also, I've gotten the Canon drivers
[04:01] <cedriczg> did you use command line with chmod -R ?
[04:02] <cedriczg> hell_lord, did you use command line with chmod -R ?
[04:02] <Gnea> jrib: it could be something else, too
[04:02] <Serway> big cookie to whomever solves this!!! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=933887 Thanks!!!
[04:02] <Indoctrine> airtonix: Read something exactly the same as that, followed its instruction, still nothing
[04:02] <hell_lord> cedriczg: no, mainly because i was worried about screwing up permissions system-wide
[04:02] <jrib> Gnea: I have the black screen symptom on my laptop, workaround in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia fixes it
[04:02] <airtonix> Indoctrine, its pretty much hit and miss until you finf exactly right settings...all i can say is good luck with your hunting
[04:03] <airtonix> Indoctrine, usually its down to the drivers
[04:03] <cedriczg> hell_lord, I understand
[04:03] <smelian> hello can some one give the right command ( ems | tail " ?
[04:03] <jrib> Gnea: wiki claims it only affects Go cards though
[04:03] <hell_lord> i just don't understand why i can't remount the root rw
[04:03] <jrib> smelian: the right command for what?
[04:03] <hell_lord> i'm doing sudo mount -f -o remount,rw / and it seems to work
[04:04] <mohadib> anyone got an idea how long it will take to md5sum a 170 gig file?
[04:04] <hell_lord> swap is off, /boot is umounted....
[04:04] <jrib> mohadib: a long time :)  no idea
[04:04] <mohadib> how about better ways to check file intergrity after a copy?
[04:04] <mohadib> any ideas :)
[04:04] <smelian> jrib : emsg | tail ( i want check usbs plugins in my laptop ) i did the command before but i forgot it
[04:04] <Indoctrine> airtonix: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'. <-- :/
[04:04] <jrib> smelian: dmesg, not emsg
[04:05] <smelian> thats it :D
[04:05] <cedriczg> hell_lord, I have a question that should be easy to reply but I couldn't find the solution... How to choose VLC as default program to open DVD when I insert a DVD. I don't see a way to choose new programs in the file administrator...
[04:05] <airtonix> Indoctrine, yeah currently i am beset with a lexmark 1170...printer scanner...so i understand the frustration. lexmark just seem to think the sun shines out of bills rear
[04:05] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I also went through the CUPS address and it still didn't do anything.
[04:05] <Gnea> jrib: heh, i always take such claims with a grain of salt :)
[04:05] <zeroh> wow it worked
[04:05] <zeroh> i acctually changed from debian to ubuntu without a cd/dvd or usb stick
[04:06] <Indoctrine> airtonix: Yeah. -.- The stupid thing is that the drivers FOR Linux don't WORK.
[04:06] <Tim__> is there any way to by pass the password in xbunto installation i forgot the password
[04:06] <[Solars]> jrib just as i thought the one in ubuntu is old and is not 64-bit supportive
[04:06] <[Solars]> installing vista 64 now w/o a problem
[04:06] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I also don't want to go back to Windows. -.-
[04:06] <airtonix> Indoctrine, in future, i would refer to the page on the ubuntu wiki that describes best supported printers via cups
[04:06] <smelian> jrib : how can i find my usb modem inside dmesg | tail and i dont see it when i use lsusb
[04:06] <hell_lord> cedriczg: the easiest way is probably to right click the file and go to properties
[04:06] <airtonix> Indoctrine, you dont have much choice though
[04:06] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I did look in there, but it wasn't actually listed
[04:06] <jrib> Tim__: reboot and choose recovery mode from the grub menu.  Then choose to boot into a "root shell".  Lastly, issue the command 'passwd YOUR_USERNAME_HERE' and reboot
[04:07] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I might take my dad's printer, it's older and probably better supported.
[04:07] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i think you can do it there.  but if not you can also probably find a way to do it using gconf-editor
[04:07] <cedriczg> hell_lord, well... it's not a file, it's a new device
[04:07] <jrib> smelian: I don't know.
[04:07] <tijuana> I managed to install RutilT (the GUI for my wireless adapter) but when I load it instead of characters I only see squares :S
[04:07] <airtonix> Indoctrine, network printers are well supported...strangely lexmark ones work ok.
[04:07] <hell_lord> cedriczg: ah, i see.
[04:07] <cedriczg> hell_lord, gconf-editor might be the way
[04:07] <hell_lord> cedriczg: that would have something to do with hal and/or dbus
[04:07] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I don't want network printers... I want it to work locally.
[04:07] <jrib> smelian: what kind of modem is it?
[04:07] <smelian> any one know where is the probem i find my usb modem inside dmesg | tail and i dont see it when i use lsusb
[04:08] <smelian> bandluxe
[04:08] <cedriczg> hell_lord, which is the permission on root files for you 400 ?
[04:08] <airtonix> Indoctrine, its not much difference how it connects...usb or ethernet on your switch
[04:08] <hell_lord> cedriczg: strangely it's rwx for root
[04:08] <Indoctrine> airtonix: But it's connected to my computer, not a switch.
[04:08] <smelian> when i put it in desktop its run like storage but when i put it in laptop nothing happen
[04:09] <airtonix> Indoctrine, just a suggestion, when you have a printer that can connect via ethernet....you dont have to have your computer running for them to be able to use it....means less cables also
[04:09] <cedriczg> hell_lord, which files you mean?
[04:09] <hell_lord> cedriczg: all permissions look normal
[04:09] <Till10185> any one got any info on linkskys routers not working on ubuntu just tried hooking mine up and it didnt do ****
[04:09] <Indoctrine> airtonix: My entire house runs off wireless.
[04:09] <airtonix> Indoctrine, surely your wireless router has ethernet ports?
[04:10] <Indoctrine> airtonix: Of course, but there is no room out where my router is to put my huge priner
[04:10] <cedriczg> hell_lord, I don't get you. Which folders are you talking about?
[04:10] <Indoctrine> *printer
[04:10] <hell_lord> cedriczg: cedriczg for example /etc
[04:10] <Till10185> yeah but didnt do any thing said there was a connection but no it didnt work
[04:10] <hell_lord> cedriczg: rwxr--r--
[04:10] <cedriczg> hell_lord, ok then it's 744
[04:11] <KaRnA> hat.org
[04:11] <airtonix> Indoctrine, well if i had the same printer as you i might be able to help further...not much i can do with out one
[04:11] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i can't ever remember the bits :)
[04:11] <cedriczg> hell_lord, you mean for all files under .etc they are 744 ?
[04:11] <Till10185> i couldnt find any thing to on what it could be i know routers work just this one is being a ***** at the moment
[04:11] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I'm off to find out what model my dad's Canon printer is.
[04:11] <cedriczg> hell_lord, think in binary ;)
[04:12] <Indoctrine> !printing
[04:12] <hell_lord> cedriczg: in /etc everything is 644
[04:12] <cedriczg> hell_lord, r-- = 100 (binary) = 4
[04:12] <dew> rwx = 421, add them up
[04:12] <hell_lord> cedriczg: there, happy? :)
[04:12] <airtonix> Indoctrine, cups will also handle your network printing needs
[04:12] <Indoctrine> airtonix:
[04:12] <Clutz> Gnea: no such luck, the computer is completely unresponsive at the black screen. can't even use num lock lol
[04:13] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I'm not network printing! AT ALL.
[04:13] <cedriczg> hell_lord, lol. I am checking my own folder to see how it should be
[04:13] <airtonix> Indoctrine, i would.
[04:13] <Indoctrine> airtonix:
[04:13] <Clutz> Gnea: I tried ctrl+alt+F1 ctrl+alt+F2 and ctrl+alt+del nothing did anything lol
[04:13] <hell_lord> cedriczg: it should be 644 for conf files.
[04:13] <Indoctrine> airtonix: Well, I wouldn't.
[04:13] <cedriczg> hell_lord, that's right
[04:14] <Clutz> !pastebin
[04:14] <hell_lord> i just want to mount this damn file system read/write :(
[04:14] <airtonix> Indoctrine, http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting
[04:14] <jrib> Clutz: was the Xorg.0.log you pasted right after the black screen and before you booted X successfully again?
[04:14] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I've seen it and it doesn't have drivers for mine
[04:15] <[Solars]> how do i add another desktop to GDE that ubuntu uses?
[04:15] <Clutz> jrib: no, it was after i restored the xorg and booted
[04:15] <[Solars]> i.e. i want more then 2 spaces
[04:15] <airtonix> Indoctrine, there may be a generic driver like in my situation there is a specific driver for lexmark 1170 i ahve to use a driver called z600
[04:15] <Indoctrine> airtonix: How the hell am I meant to know which one to get then?
[04:15] <airtonix> Indoctrine, isnt a specific driver for mine i mean
[04:15] <hell_lord> the root is encrypted lvm with jfs :P
[04:16] <hell_lord> maybe it has something to do with that :(
[04:16] <Tim__> how do i setup dsl connection in xbunto
[04:16] <airtonix> Indoctrine, lots of research and patience .... or you can re-install windows or think about petitioning cannon for better linux support.
[04:16] <jrib> Clutz: the other one is probably more helpful :)
[04:16] <Clutz> Gnea: jrib: here is the xorg.conf that was used http://paste.ubuntu.com/52319/
[04:16] <Indoctrine> airtonix: I am NOT putting Vista back on this computer. Nor am I putting XP on here where I get even worse driver support.
[04:17] <Tim__> i got rid of vista
[04:17] <Clutz> as did i ^_^
[04:17] <Tim__> how do i setup dsl on xbunto
[04:17] <zeroh> Tim__: nice
[04:17] <Indoctrine> I've had so many problems with this laptop.
[04:17] <Clutz> my laptop and my other computer got ubuntu installed with no trouble at all
[04:17] <airtonix> Tim__, how did you connect your adsl modem to your machine?
[04:17] <Clutz> but this video card is being mean to me
[04:17] <oxeimon> shit I just opened up emacs in my terminal
[04:17] <Indoctrine> It's just not very Linux friendly
[04:17] <oxeimon> how do I exit??
[04:17] <zeroh> i never had problems with ubuntu
[04:17] <neeto> I am trying to get a DHCP server running on my desktop computer, to provide internet to my laptop/xbox/whatever. I've defined a subnet and a lease range. I've also got a host configured on the ethernet port through which the server should listen. However, I can't get an IP with any devices I plug in... Does anyone have any suggestions?
[04:17] <Indoctrine> oxeimon: Ctrl-C?
[04:17] <Tim__> airtonix through network card and cable to dsl router as in vista
[04:18] <cedriczg> hell_lord, try this command and look at itś output: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[04:18] <oxeimon> nope
[04:18] <oxeimon> doesn't work
[04:18] <jrib> oxeimon: ctrl-x ctrl-c
[04:18] <hell_lord> Indoctrine: what laptop
[04:18] <airtonix> Tim__, ok do you know the ip address of the adsl router?
[04:18] <Indoctrine> oxeimon: Esc?
[04:18] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: Acer Aspire 4710
[04:18] <airtonix> Tim__, and how are you communicating here now? obviously ont on the machine you want to deal with in question
[04:18] <nxmehta> i just created a new group and added myself to it, but when i type 'groups' i don't see the group... is there some service i need to restart or something?
[04:18] <cedriczg> hell_lord, not sure if this gets anywhere but just to check
[04:18] <oxeimon> ctrl-x ctrl-c worked
[04:18] <Tim__> airtonix: in windows...i key in my<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and then password
[04:18] <oxeimon> damn emacs
[04:19] <Tim__> i would think ip address in dynamic
[04:19] <airtonix> Tim__, i have never used vista so references to "in windows" or "just like in vista" doesnt mean anything to me
[04:19] <Tim__> it is not static
[04:19] <Tim__> it is always changing the ip address:airtonic
[04:19] <Ishnu> I have read that you can telnet an IP adress with a certain port, to determine if that port is open on the target system. But wouldn't this method just work if the target IP adress was using that port for telnet, and not anything else?
[04:19] <hell_lord> Indoctrine: oh dear god
[04:19] <airtonix> Tim__, it wouldnt internally..that would be the external behaviour
[04:20] <tigran> anyone here know how to recreate CrossOvers menus? crossover channel is dead.
[04:20] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: That bad, eh?
[04:20] <airtonix> Tim__, usually the internal address of your adsl router/modem is either : <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:20] <Tim__> airtonic ok
[04:20] <airtonix> Tim__, try visiting those ip addresses in firefox on the ubuntu machine
[04:21] <Tim__> it is only one machine
[04:21] <cedriczg> hell_lord, might this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=868984
[04:21] <Tim__> it is not networked
[04:21] <hell_lord> Indoctrine: im having some real problems with a thinkpad.  i don't even wanna know what it'd be like on that thing
[04:21] <airtonix> Tim__, ?
[04:21] <hell_lord> cedriczg: lol i'm looking at that thread right now
[04:21] <airtonix> Tim__, if your modem is not networked then how do you connect to it?
[04:21] <Tim__> the xubunto system---network card----dsl rounter----telephone cable.
[04:21] <Ishnu> Just a quick question: when you ping, say, <IP_ADDRESS>, how would it decide whether to ping the internal address <IP_ADDRESS>, or the internet one?
[04:22] <pibe86> hello channel for ubuntu beta pls
[04:22] <cedriczg> hell_lord, then we may be in a good track ;)
[04:22] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: Ohh yeah. In Gutsy, I couldn't get my wireless working, nor can I get it to work in Debian, Gentoo, etc.
[04:22] <tigran> anyone here know how to recreate CrossOvers menus? crossover channel is dead.
[04:22] <tritium> !intrepid | pibe86
[04:22] <airtonix> Tim__, ok then your modem will have a ip address.
[04:22] <cedriczg> hell_lord, good luck
[04:22] <hell_lord> cedriczg: ....
[04:22] <hell_lord> cedriczg: it just booted and started x
[04:22] <Tim__> ok airtonix how do i connect then
[04:22] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: I even had problems with this thing in VISTA, which is what it was designed for.
[04:22] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i have -no- idea why
[04:23] <Tim__> server will need  username and password to let me in
[04:23] <airtonix> Tim__, here is my setup ubuntu -> switch -> (<IP_ADDRESS>)modem(dynamic-ip) -> phone cable
[04:23] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: In other words, it's a right piece of ...
[04:23] <cedriczg> hell_lord, good! better don't ask :P if it works don't touch we should say
[04:23] <airtonix> Tim__, on the left is the internal address and on the right is the dynamic ip assigned by the isp
[04:23] <hell_lord> cedriczg: gah it has something to do with suspend
[04:23] <hell_lord> cedriczg: and something i did fixed it.  i need to investigate this further ><
[04:24] <Tim__> before ip assigns u a ip address using dhcp protocol; it needs to authentificate me
[04:24] <airtonix> Tim__, pastebin the output of : ifconfig
[04:24] <Ishnu> Hello glades20
[04:24] <hell_lord> Indoctrine: i bet you could get it to work on gentoo if you tried really hard
[04:24] <Ishnu> Have you fixed your problem?
[04:24] <hell_lord> Indoctrine: but i wouldn't want to be doing it :-)
[04:24] <Xpistos> Hey everybody
[04:24] <cedriczg> hell_lord, I have some strange behaviour in my laptop with freezes after a while a use a game or have a specific screensaver that comes
[04:24] <airtonix> Tim__, or you could search the ubuntu wiki for details about using this type of modem
[04:24] <cedriczg> hell_lord, let me paste you what I get in my syslog
[04:25] <Xpistos> OK, Is anyone else having problems getting USB to work in Virtual Box?
[04:25] <Tim__> airtonix: ok
[04:25] <Xpistos> I could have sworn when I installed it in July, I got it working out of the box
[04:25] <hell_lord> Indoctrine: you a long time linux user?  lot of experience w/ gentoo?
[04:25] <Lasivian> hiya, I can't figure out how to fix my video, it went out of range
[04:25] <glades20> Hi, I think I killed wine
[04:25] <Ishnu> Really?
[04:25] <jrib> Xpistos: are you using the ose version from the repositories?
[04:25] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: I sat for about an hour trying to get it to connect to my wireless... it recognised the card was there and everything
[04:25] <airtonix> Tim__, any adsl modem that doesnt act like a switch ought to be returned for a refund imo
[04:25] <Xpistos> No
[04:25] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: I had access to docs and IRC the entire time I was troubleshooting it.
[04:26] <Indoctrine> Via another computer...
[04:26] <Xpistos> jrib: I saw that and installed the closed version
[04:26] <Xpistos> jrib: I don't remember installing it via a deb package lastime though
[04:26] <jrib> Xpistos: try #vbox
[04:26] <Lasivian> so, I can't see anything on my ubuntu box, and I don't want to hit reset to fix what is probably an easy fix
[04:26] <Xpistos> jrib: thanks
[04:26] <mttr_1> ok so reading the RTM doesn't helping me get the wireless working on ubunut..
[04:26] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: It was actually my second install... the first time didn't work either, because I got the wrong arch of CD
[04:26] <Lasivian> my google-fu sucks, I did try that first :P
[04:26] <hell_lord> Indoctrine: did you follow somethin like this? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Acer_Aspire_5102WLMi
[04:27] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: No, I was trying to get my wireless going before I even started anything else
[04:27] <mttr_1> The same driver is used on mandriva.. but ubuntu refuses to see the wireless.. Help
[04:27] <Tim__> is dsl connection point to point?
[04:27] <glades20> yeah, I thought the dpi settings in wine were for something else, and I set them for the highest. now I cant see wine config when I run it
[04:27] <Clutz> Gnea: jrib: brb, going to experiment
[04:27] <cedriczg> hell_lord, I pasted the error log in a separate chat
[04:27] <kyhros> oin #ubuntu-hu
[04:27] <hell_lord> Indoctrine: just use a cable :P
[04:27] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: Also, none of that is my hardware
[04:27] <mttr_1> the ath_pci driver sucks in ubuntu
[04:27] <arooni-mobile> i just installed hardy.... i have a intel mobo with integrated ethernet.... but after booting, it doesnt see my ethernet card.... how do i fix?
[04:28]  * Lasivian grovels
[04:28] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: Not possible without trailing a cable through the house
[04:28] <hell_lord> cedriczg: what is that from?
[04:28] <mttr_1> tried and ath_hal .. and still no difference
[04:28] <cedriczg> hell_lord, syslog
[04:28] <hell_lord> Indoctrine: you can probably get it working with a cheap wireless card and unencrypted wifi
[04:29] <Flannel> !video | Lasivian
[04:29] <Flannel> Lasivian: ctrl-alt-f1 will give you a TTY
[04:29] <airtonix> Tim__, ok sorry i confused adsl as being the same as dsl.... seems your not getting the same benefit as a adsl modem would provide
[04:29] <Indoctrine> hell_lord: It had the drivers and everything loaded for my wireless and I had unencrypted wifi at the time and it wouldn't connect
[04:29] <Lasivian> a tty?
[04:29] <cedriczg> hell_lord, after a freeze that my screen gets freezed and same times only ctrl + alt + del is the  "solution"
[04:29] <airtonix> !dsl | Tim__
[04:29]  * Lasivian tries googling that
[04:29] <hell_lord> cedriczg: it is happening in i915 it looks like - that's the intel graphics driver
[04:29] <cedriczg> hell_lord, some messages are in spanish as I have spanish version
[04:30] <hell_lord> cedriczg: turn off the screensaver or disable ones that cause it.  most likely ones that use dri
[04:30] <cedriczg> hell_lord, yep, intel here
[04:30] <cedriczg> hell_lord, and what about when I use some games like xmoto for example? I get same result after a while of play
[04:30] <HyperD> so, why is the disk manager telling me I have a 140GB hard drive when I only have an 80 installed?
[04:31] <hell_lord> cedriczg: hmm
[04:31] <Indoctrine> HyperD: Corrupted files perhaps... my friend had a flash drive that said it was 16GB
[04:31] <cedriczg> hell_lord, many times I see this error after the /USR/SBIN/CRON
[04:31] <airtonix> cheerio peoples
[04:31] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i dunno, ever try using Xnest?
[04:31] <slaterock> I have some ati graphics card settings questions
[04:31] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i dont' play games much on linux but i used to play starcraft in Xnest
[04:31] <cedriczg> hell_lord, don't know that program/command
[04:31] <slaterock> I first enabled the restricted drivers that came with 8.04
[04:32] <Flannel> Lasivian: a terminal
[04:32] <slaterock> then installed the latest 8.9 ati drivers
[04:32] <hell_lord> cedriczg: you probably have to install a package for it
[04:32] <slaterock> however, I've noticed some decrease in performance in wow for example
[04:32] <hell_lord> cedriczg: it allows you to start an X session in a window
[04:32] <Indoctrine> HyperD: My hard drive says that I have 200GB when I only have a 120GB drive.
[04:32] <Indoctrine> HyperD: Errr, the disk usage thing, I mean
[04:32] <cedriczg> hell_lord, mmm. But the game can start in a window...
[04:32] <HyperD> weirdness.
[04:33] <hell_lord> cedriczg: yes it can
[04:33] <hell_lord> cedriczg: it's an X server - for what the game knows, it is starting full screen :)
[04:33] <cedriczg> hell_lord, I mean now it can. And even that way after a while (say half an hour) it freezes my laptop
[04:34] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i dunno, but when i have graphics problems i blame compiz
[04:34] <Lasivian> found it, ctrl-alt-backspace
[04:34] <cedriczg> hell_lord, lol I do use compiz. Then that may be a point to check
[04:34] <hell_lord> cedriczg: you could try it in an Xnest with a different xorg.conf with composite extensions disabled, or you coudl turn off compiz
[04:34] <kyhros> hi
[04:34] <hell_lord> cedriczg: see i used to have a separate xorg.conf for starcraft and i'd use it with an Xnest :)
[04:35] <cedriczg> hell_lord, Thanks. Will look into that
[04:35] <hell_lord> cedriczg: it's something to waste your time with at least :-)
[04:35] <kyhros> my kubuntu is unfotunately restarted, can somebody tell me where can i see what happened? (logs)
[04:35] <nathan42100> two questions...why does vncviewer open evolution and why is my top menu reversed?
[04:36] <cedriczg> hell_lord, yep. I even thought about heat problem (cpu freeze maybe) but with lmsensors that possiblity is out
[04:36] <hell_lord> cedriczg: what kind of laptop?
[04:37] <cedriczg> hell_lord, HP Pavilion dv6701us

[04:37] <rarero> now its gone
[04:37] <rarero> help
[04:38] <arooni-mobile> i just installed hardy.... i have a intel mobo with integrated ethernet.... but after booting, it doesnt see my ethernet card.... how do i fix?
[04:38] <rob__> im working on installing a patch for my audio, and I have no idea on how to do it. I am using this guide; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller
[04:38] <guitargod> i have that same computer hp
[04:38] <guitargod> not impressed
[04:38] <slaterock> will enabling dri in xorg.conf help?
[04:38] <rob__> could someone help me with that?
[04:38] <HyperD> my graphics card doesn't seem to work on linux very well. ATI X1600. any of the 3D packages aren't exactly decent framerates.
[04:38] <hell_lord> arooni-mobile: did you try going into the administrative tools and looking at unsupported hardware?
[04:38] <passive1> what is the best p2p program for ubuntu ?
[04:39] <Ashfire908> what's the program that you pipe stuff to and it echos and writes it to a file?
[04:39] <rob__> passivel: imo transmission
[04:39] <hell_lord> arooni-mobile: maybe your driver is disabled or something
[04:39] <rarero> i used to have a application that was named remove/add so i could remove add applicaitons. now its gone, help
[04:39] <kyhros> my kubuntu is unfotunately restarted, can somebody tell me where can i see what happened? (logs)
[04:39] <hell_lord> Ashfire908: you don't pipe anything to a program to write it to a file, you just redirect the output handle to a file using >
[04:39] <hell_lord> Ashfire908: echo "hello" > file.txt
[04:40] <savid> Hi all.  I just tried installing linux on my macbook (intel).  I partitioned using bootcamp,  and then re-partitioned during ubuntu install  (according to this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro).   The install went fine,  but when I reboot and hold down the option key,  it only shows the mac hd.  Any ideas?
[04:40] <passive1> rob__ : i mean something like bearshare imesh etc
[04:40] <rarero> please help without button i cannot add remove applications
[04:40] <Ashfire908> hell_lord, no, there's a program that you can pipe stuff to and it echos and writes to a file too.
[04:40] <rob__> passivel: frostwire
[04:40] <Flannel> Ashfire908: tee
[04:40] <hell_lord> rarero: just start synaptics
[04:40] <Flannel> Ashfire908: well, you can do that with tee.
[04:41] <hell_lord> rarero: or synaptic or whatever.  hit alt-f2, type synaptic and hit enter
[04:41] <passive1> Thanks rob__
[04:41] <Ashfire908> Flannel, thanks, couldn't think of it.
[04:41] <Clutz> here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52324/ and my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/52325/ Will anyone tell me why my computer goes black and locks up after the ubuntu loading bar finishes on bootup?
[04:41] <cedriczg> hell_lord, one question regarding the  /USR/SBIN/CRON log I get. Is this related to /etc/anacrontab file?
[04:41] <guestguestnew> how can i maximize a 256kbps internet connection?
[04:41] <passive1> not in apt REPOs
[04:42] <hell_lord> cedriczg: dunno what cron ubuntu uses, i am pretty new to it

[04:42] <rob__> can someone teach me how to apply patches to the kernal?
[04:42] <cedriczg> hell_lord, I see a line like nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily

[04:43] <cedriczg> hell_lord, that runs daily
[04:43] <hell_lord> cedriczg: yeah i always disliked how cron worked :(
[04:43] <rarero> hell_lord: now it works
[04:43] <rob__> hell_lord, im fallowing a guide at wiki.ubuntu.com to patch my audio, if i shouldn't patch the kernal, what should i do?
[04:43] <rarero> hell_lord: why my icon not in gnome menu anymore
[04:44] <hell_lord> rareo: don't know, must have been removed somehow
[04:44] <rarero> how do i recreate it

[04:45] <nathan42100> why does vncviewer open evolution?!
[04:45] <guitargod> i have a question. umm im running an older version of ubuntu and i cant watch videos and stuff how can i upgrade?
[04:45] <tritium> !upgrade | guitargod
[04:45] <hell_lord> rob__: why method e?
[04:46] <hell_lord> rob__: is that the only thing that works for your laptop?
[04:46] <rob__> hell_lord because im running a toshiba A215, and that's what is confirmed
[04:46] <cedriczg> hell_lord, on system > file administration, what do you see written in last tab? I have spanish version and need to know that tab in english
[04:46] <hell_lord> rob__: do you see the link to the deb file?
[04:47] <cedriczg> hell_lord, is it support?

[04:47] <rob__> hell_lord: i know right, so do you know anyway of applying a patch to a package?
[04:48] <hell_lord> rob__: i would with a source package.... dunno bout deb.
[04:48] <hell_lord> rob__: sec
[04:48] <yokobr> hey folks
[04:49] <tritium> rob__: not to a binary package.  You'd have to fetch the source package, and apply the patch to source, then rebuild it.
[04:49] <shaun_> does anyone know how to remove a cvs directory?
[04:49] <ASrock> i cant get ubuntu to boot on my gateway tablet pc...it seems like a video conflict how can i boot from visa drivers or someting?

[04:51] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i don't have that option
[04:51] <tritium> rob__: nothing specific.  If you know that patch you want to apply, give it a try.
[04:51] <guitargod> what do i type in terminal to see what version i hav
[04:51] <slaterock> i'm getting much more choppy gameplay in WoW after upgrading drivers

[04:52] <hell_lord> cedriczg: i use the regular gnome menu button
[04:52] <hell_lord> cedriczg: not the list of 3 options or w/e that is the default
[04:52] <rob__> guitargod: a lot of programs will print their version number if you type "nameofprogram -v"
[04:53] <cedriczg> hell_lord, nautilus-file-management-properties
[04:53] <caimlas> I'm running kubuntu/ubuntu 8.04, fully apt-get upgraded, on an IBM thinkpad x30 which has a  Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev a8) Cardbus bridge. There are two, one for CF devices and the other for PCMCIA/Cardbus devices. However, when I insert either (and I've tried nearly a dozen) they are not recognized by the kernel (only "pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0" and the associated "pccard: card ejected from slot 0" when removing it). I
[04:53] <caimlas> have yenta_socket insmod'd (as well as pcmcia_core and pcmcia) but again, they're not recognized (nothing in lspci, no entry of devices being recognized in dmesg, etc.)
[04:53] <guitargod> i mean...ubuntu version
[04:53] <cedriczg> hell_lord, that's the setting for new devices (on last tab)
[04:53] <maxagaz> hi
[04:53] <Hew> guitargod: Do you mean which version of Ubuntu? lsb_release -a
[04:53] <guitargod> yes lol
[04:53] <guitargod> thnx
[04:53] <cedriczg> hell_lord, maybe the word is "devices"
[04:53] <Hew> guitargod: No worries
[04:54] <maxagaz> is it possible to boot an iso which is in my /home from grub ?
[04:54] <hell_lord> cedriczg: last is "Media"
[04:54] <nathan42100> Is vncviewer installed by default?
[04:54] <Tricyclethief> Is there anyone that has a ati x1650 agp card with dual monitor setup WORKING, i dont care what ubuntu version ill downgrade if need be
[04:54] <cedriczg> hell_lord, ok, thanks :)
[04:54] <tritium> rob__: sorry, not right now
[04:55] <guitargod> hew im running 6.06.2 LTS i need to upgrade
[04:55] <rob__> tritium: its alright, im just going to make a thread. thanks for helping this much
[04:55] <yokobr> Please, anyone there is using hardy with nforce?
[04:55] <Hew> guitargod: You can upgrade to Hardy 8.04.1 LTS
[04:55] <tigran> hi is it possible for Evolution mail to have different inbox folders for each email account?
[04:55] <ASrock> yokobr: i was i switched to an amd chipset now though
[04:55] <guitargod> yes okay i see that..but do i have to climb the latter of upgrades non the page
[04:56] <guitargod> or can i go right to that
[04:56] <yokobr> ASrock, had you experienced troubles with the sound driver/modules?
[04:56] <guitargod> hew?
[04:56] <Hew> guitargod: 6.06 is a LTS release, so you can upgrade from LTS to LTS. Otherwise you would have to climb the ladder (in which case a fresh install is probably easier).
[04:57] <Hew> guitargod: relax, it takes time to type :-)
[04:57] <ASrock> ykobr: yep, audacity would work until i tried opening rhythmbox then audacity wouldnt work
[04:57] <guitargod> sorry..i just know nothing about linux or ubuntu hew
[04:57] <guitargod> and its hard for me to upgrade
[04:57] <yokobr> ASrock, shit..
[04:57] <hell_lord> rob__: i wish i could help but i have to go to bed.  i dont' know enough about ubuntu (i'm used to a different distro)
[04:57] <_haywire_> cya hell_lord
[04:57] <Hew> guitargod: No worries. 6.06 -> 8.04 will work well :-)
[04:57] <yokobr> Anyone knows where i can download Intrepid alpha?
[04:58] <ASrock> yokobr: i recommend a PCI sound card, that worked for me
[04:58] <rob__> hell_lord: don't worry about it. thanks for trying
[04:58] <caimlas> anyone know what might be causing my "cardbus isn't working" problem (as stated above)?
[04:58] <guitargod> so no inbetween?
[04:58] <rarareh> hell_lord: hi again, i check now in gnome-menu-editor
[04:58] <rarareh> icon is ther but cannot be selected
[04:58] <hell_lord> rob__: look into extracting deb packages
[04:58] <rarareh> when i select it gets deselected
[04:58] <Hew> yokobr: Alpha 6 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-6/
[04:58] <hell_lord> rob__: try extracting the package and then running patch < patch_file in the directory of the files
[04:58] <Hew> yokobr: Intrepid support is in #ubuntu+1
[04:58] <yokobr> ASrock, my pc is still under guarantee.. so i cant open it.
[04:58] <hell_lord> rob__: or try looking into this dpkg thing :)
[04:58] <sd32> !compiz
[04:58] <rob__> hell_lord: will try thank you!
[04:58] <yokobr> Hew, thank ya
[04:59] <hell_lord> caimlas: try looking into what modules you have loaded (lsmod)
[04:59] <tigran> is it possible for Evolution mail to have different inbox folders for each email account?
[04:59] <ASrock> yokobr: who did u buy it from?
[04:59] <hell_lord> rarareh: sounds like might be a configuration error
[04:59] <rarareh> hell_lord: i create new user, same error
[04:59] <esac> does anybody know if there is an alternate to rdesktop ?
[04:59] <hell_lord> rarareh: try copying all relevant information, deleting it, and recreating it
[04:59] <yokobr> from a fuckng store here in brazil.
[05:00] <hell_lord> caimlas: think you need pcmcia, yenta, some other crap
[05:00] <ASrock> yokobr: shoulda built your own...
[05:00] <rarareh> hell_lord: i create new user
[05:00] <rarareh> same error
[05:00] <hell_lord> caimlas dunno why it wouldn't work right off the bat - mine does
[05:00] <rarareh> :(
[05:00] <hell_lord> caimlas: thinkpad r61 w/ hardy 8.04
[05:00] <yokobr> hey, does anyone knows if its safe to use 64 bit ubuntu?
[05:00] <tigran> is it possible for Evolution mail to have different inbox folders for each email account?
[05:00] <yokobr> i had many problems in past.
[05:00] <ASrock> yokobr: im using it and it works great
[05:00] <hell_lord> rarareh: try doing a dpkg reconfigure of gnome
[05:00] <yokobr> ASrock, i had many lib problems.. But it was on 6.06
[05:01] <yokobr> i never tryied after that.
[05:01] <hell_lord> rarareh: or when you boot, choose safe mode or w/e and try using the "Recofnigure packages" option
[05:01] <hell_lord> rarareh: or "fix broken packages"
[05:01] <ASrock> yokobr: ya it has much improved sence then
[05:01] <hell_lord> i'm out, bed time.
[05:01] <hell_lord> good luck all
[05:01] <Hew> guitargod: You can upgrade to the next standard release if you like, but I strongly recommend you upgrade straight to Hardy 8.04. (also, please use my name in messages so they don't get lost in the channel)
[05:01] <rarareh> what does fix broken packages mean
[05:01] <yokobr> Ok, you convinced my..
[05:01] <ASrock> yokobr: much better than windows 64 bit which pretty much sucks
[05:01] <rarareh> Hew: how do i fix how do i find broken
[05:01] <rarareh> sorry hew
[05:01] <guitargod> hew: it says to start go Press Alt-F2 and type gksu "update-manager"
[05:02] <guitargod> but it says that location doesnt exist
[05:02] <Hew> rarareh: No worries. You should be able to sort things out with Synaptic.
[05:02] <tigran> is it possible for Evolution mail to have different inbox folders for each email account and if it doesnt, does Thunderbird do it? This is for pop email accounts
[05:02] <Hew> guitargod: Can you go to System -> Administration -> Update Manager?
[05:02] <caimlas> tigran, don't know about evolution, but tbird does it by default
[05:03] <guitargod> lol thank u so much

[05:09] <Flannel> guitargod: er, comment, not uncomment.
[05:09] <guitargod> some part of the upgrade i guess im not getting now

[05:09] <Guest42539> there is someone who can speak spanish?
[05:09] <Flannel> Guest42539: /join #ubuntu-es
[05:09] <RyanPrior> Guest42539: Hi! Say "hi!" if you're a bot.

[05:10] <Flannel> guitargod: Once you upgrade, remember to remove your Breezy CD from your sources
[05:10] <Hew> guitargod: ok then..
[05:10] <guitargod> i have no cd
[05:10] <Guest42539> there is someone who can speak spanish?

[05:11] <RyanPrior> !es > Guest42539
[05:11] <guitargod> i did not..the dude who i got it from did
[05:11] <Guest42539> how?
[05:11] <Flannel> guitargod: That's not really important.  You're going to be removing it, so you don't need the CD.
[05:11] <Hew> Flannel, guitargod: It's ok, we'll remove it later :-)
[05:12] <Flannel> Guest42539: type /join #ubuntu+1
[05:12] <Flannel> Guest42539: er, sorry.  /join #ubuntu-es

[05:12] <Guest42539> what?
[05:13] <RyanPrior> How can I transcode an mp3 into wav audio?
[05:13] <Hew> Guest42539: This is an English channel only. Join #ubuntu-es for Spanish support.

[05:14] <guitargod> lol noo too excited
[05:14] <guitargod> ive have this computer for a while but could barely even figure it out
[05:14] <Hew> guitargod: I find caffeine enhances the excitement ;-)
[05:15] <guitargod> i dont drink it really
[05:15] <guitargod> i used to drink tons and tons of energy drinks.....and then i had some horrible stomach pains too much caffeine
[05:15] <Clutz> here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52324/ and my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/52325/ Will anyone tell me why my computer goes black and locks up after the ubuntu loading bar finishes on bootup? Ask if you need to know more.
[05:15] <saint_tropper> oee

[05:16] <samsss> can i share virtual machine with other users? just dont want all users to install another os using vbox... is it possible?
[05:16] <guitargod> hey hew will i be able to watch videos on you tube after.. ..without problemss
[05:17] <samsss> guitargod, audio problems?
[05:17] <Hew> guitargod: I'm not sure. Hopefully. There are crashing problems with flash on Hardy atm.
[05:17] <Clutz> samsss: as far as i know yes, just have the vdi in another location and select it manually with the OS settings
[05:17] <Hew> guitargod: uname -m
[05:17] <guitargod> where in terminal
[05:17] <guitargod> put that>?
[05:18] <Hew> guitargod: yes. What does it output?
[05:18] <guitargod> x86_64
[05:18] <samsss> Clutz, didnt think on that... so if i put the hd on for example /usr/share/virtualmachines/vdi... bla bla bla and then tell users to use that shared hard drive?
[05:19] <Hew> guitargod: You're running 64-bit, like me. There are problems with both 32 and 64, but there may be some problems you notice with 64-bit, unfortunately.
[05:19] <Hew> guitargod: it's a bug that's being worked on heavily atm.
[05:19] <tritium> belisle: are you done with the nick-spam yet?
[05:19] <guitargod> linux is so diff
[05:20] <guitargod> its on fiel 149 of 1459
[05:20] <Orchid`> i think that person was very slow.
[05:20] <image_q> >	hello does anyone know why mencoder would work incorrectly if done as a cron task?
[05:20] <nomingzi> I plan to download and to install Ubuntu server, may I know if it is come with GUI, unlike Debian has no GUI.
[05:20] <Bogus8> does the ubuntu package of rtorrent contain XMLRPC support?
[05:22] <Tim__> i connect my xbunto system to adsl
[05:22] <Flannel> nomingzi: The server doesn't come with a GUI, no.  But it's just a default package set.  You can add a GUI if you'd like afterwards.
[05:22] <Tim__> but firefox would fire up
[05:22] <Tim__> will not fire up
[05:23] <image_q> Im trying to convert a realplayer file to windows with mencoder and then convert it to flv with ffmpeg, it works perfectly when I run it myself, but when a cron job runs it, it breaks down and the videos don't work for some reason, I can't even play them with a normal flash player, anyone have any idea why?
[05:23] <Tim__> what a pain trying to get adsl connection using xbunto
[05:23] <Flannel> !dsl | Tim__
[05:23] <Tim__> i did look at it
[05:24] <Tim__> i did what i was asked to but i connected to my isp using adsl

[05:28] <Xavura> I have a panoramic wallpaper I want to kind of go on and on
[05:29] <Clutz> Xavura: divide it into sections and apply them to the separate desktops? lol
[05:29] <Xavura> Yeah but how do I do that?
[05:29] <Xavura> I've been looking and I can't find it.
[05:29] <Clutz> Xavura: hmm, i know how to do it on kde. let me look into it
[05:29] <Xavura> Thanks
[05:29] <Clutz> Xavura, you're using gnome right?
[05:30] <Xavura> I am.
[05:30] <Xavura> If I was using KDE wouldn't I be in #kubuntu ...?
[05:30] <Clutz> true
[05:30] <Xavura> :P
[05:31] <Clutz> Xavura: compiz allows different wallpapers for sure
[05:31]  * con-man has guitar hero 3 for PC working in linux!  TAKE THAT SECUROM  *flex*
[05:31] <Xavura> I use Compiz
[05:31] <Xavura> I still can't find it, even in Compiz...
[05:31] <Clutz> Xavura: oh
[05:31] <Xavura> I've been looking for ages
[05:31] <Clutz> Xavura: compiz-fusion?
[05:31] <Xavura> Yup
[05:31] <con-man> I hope the means compiz-fusion
[05:31] <con-man> someone was in here looking for help the other day with beryl
[05:32] <con-man> *I hope he
[05:32] <Xavura> err you hope he means compiz-fusion? He said compiz-fusion :S
[05:32] <nomingzi> where can i find information on the steps/procedures on how to install VMware Server onto Ubuntu Desktop AMD64 ?
[05:33] <yokobr> hi
[05:33] <Clutz> Xavura: try this http://wallpapoz.akbarhome.com/
[05:33] <yokobr> plase, could anyone give me that adress to get ubuntu 8.10 alpha?
[05:33] <Clutz> yokobr: sure 1 sec
[05:33] <tritium> !intrepid | yokobr
 I use Compiz
[05:33] <con-man>  I still can't find it, even in Compiz...
[05:33] <hasmind> hey, i just put a whole bunch of hardware together, including a hdd with ubuntu on it. I can't get networking to work, and I have a feeling its network drivers
[05:33] <yokobr> i give up with my sound driver on ubuntu hardy
[05:34] <Xavura> Ah, sorry.
[05:34] <con-man> :P
[05:34] <yokobr> anyone here heard about nexenta?
[05:34] <hasmind> ubuntu is meant to automatically configure network stuff right?
[05:35] <con-man> I still join #compiz-fusion by joining #beryl cause its less typing, and ppl c an see that I have joined via #beryl and laugh thinking im still using it
[05:35] <Clutz> yokobr: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-6/
[05:35] <noway> hasmind it generally gets 95-95%
[05:35] <hasmind> hmm
[05:35] <hasmind> its not even registering that its plugged into my router
[05:35] <hasmind> so doesn't that mean that the drivers are "bad" or non existant?
[05:36] <moda1> hi there
[05:36] <tritium> hasmind: not necessarily
[05:37] <noway> hasmind is this a wlan or eth connection?
[05:37] <hasmind> eh... i didn't know there is a difference
[05:37] <MrNaz`> i'm trying to get my webcam working, i've installed easycam and the drivers *seem* to be working, /dev/video0 appears when i plug it in and it detects some generic model type.. however when i try to get a tv stream from mplayer it opens a video box but all i see is green... anyone know what i'm doing wrong ?
[05:37] <anotherman> how can I login as root?
[05:38] <Clutz> anotherman: you can't
[05:38] <Ishnu> Just use sudo
[05:38] <anotherman> I can
[05:38] <hasmind> sorry, its ethernet
[05:38] <Clutz> anotherman: just use sudo to execute things as root
[05:38] <Ishnu> Sudo (command)
[05:38] <anotherman> sudo sux
[05:38] <Ishnu> no it doesnt
[05:38] <anotherman> I Need root
[05:38] <Tim-S> I just tried to install network-manager-pptp, but the nm-applet disappeared and runninjg it from the command line does nothing.  Thoughts?
[05:38] <Ishnu> what for?
[05:38] <hasmind> sudo makes u root :/
[05:38] <anotherman> I don't want to use sudo each time, I am tired of it
[05:38] <tritium> hasmind: not quiet
[05:38] <tritium> anotherman: then use sudo -i
[05:38] <Ishnu> you shouldnt be
[05:39] <Ishnu> :D
[05:39] <anotherman> what's that?
[05:39] <Clutz> anotherman: fine then, type sudo su
[05:39] <con-man> zomg downloading 100 gigs of torrents at once is annoying cause whenever you close Transmission either manually or from restarting your PC it has to reverify the data, which grings my Quadcore with 4 gigs of RAM to a halt
[05:39] <Ishnu> su = superuser
[05:39] <tritium> Clutz: no, sudo -i
[05:39] <anotherman> what are sudo -i and sudo su
[05:39] <Clutz> tritium: huh?
[05:39] <con-man> anyway to turn that off?
[05:39] <Ishnu> sudo su makes you the superuser
[05:39] <anotherman> why not login as root?
[05:39] <tritium> Clutz: sudo -i, not sudo su.  Please don't recommend that.
[05:39] <tritium> !sudo | anotherman
[05:40] <Clutz> anotherman: login in as root is dangerous
[05:40] <anotherman> I will login as root no matter you want that or not!
[05:40] <Pnux> !ip
[05:40] <Pnux> !localaddress
[05:40] <Pnux> hello, is anybody here?
[05:40] <Ishnu> No.
[05:40] <Pnux> :(
[05:41] <Pnux> do you happen to know how to get my local address using a terminal?
[05:41] <noway> root it up
[05:41] <Ishnu> ifconfig
[05:41] <Ishnu> Pnux
[05:41] <noway> pnux ifconfig
[05:41] <darkbishop> root suck...
[05:41] <edgy> Hi, I am using ubuntu hardy and logwatch don't send emails to me. I tried e.g logwatch --mailto<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and it just prints to screen
[05:42] <Pnux> thanks for the answer
[05:42] <noway> anyone know how to display wlan0 driver in terminal?
[05:42] <darkbishop> driver???
[05:42] <noway> like the name of the installed driver for wlan0
[05:43] <Rolaulten> Hello...I'm haveing issues with gnome-screensaver crashing...tryed to remove, and purge it...then reinstall and it still crashes when I try and turn it on. pastebin of gnome-screensaver --debug is http://paste.ubuntu.com/52342/
[05:43] <gluonman> I have a problem with DVD burning. I created an .iso from a movie I wanted to copy. Unfortunately, the resulting .iso was 7.3 GB in size. I can't burn 7.3 GB of data onto a 4.7 GB DVD+R.  Even when I tried just backing up the DVD using dvdbackup, the resulting folder (VIDEO_TS) was 7.3 GB. What can I do to successfully copy my movie to another DVD+R?
[05:43] <noway> the device was installed during installation and the fix for stopping loss of wireless signal after three minutes of inactivity depends on knowing this
[05:44] <MrNaz`> anotherman if you need root regularly then perhaps Ubuntu is not the distro for you
[05:44] <anotherman> MrNaz`, why not lol
[05:44] <Joshooa> gluonman: You're going to be told you're off topic but best you can do is DVDShrink and Wine
[05:44] <lw0x15> ello
[05:44] <noway> i know my device is a rtl8187 but issuing commands for it doesn't work either
[05:44] <Pnux> gluonman, looks like all you need is a double layer dvd
[05:45] <gluonman> Joshooa, I don't know why I'm off topic. Maybe I should specify that I'm doing this in Ubuntu and ask what's the Ubuntu way to solve my problem.
[05:45] <MrNaz`> anotherman Ubuntu deliberately makes it hard to log in as root because logging in as root regularly is a bad idea both for beginners and advanced linux admins. theres no reason you should need it, so ubuntu blocks it. if you have decided you will log in as root no matter what, then ubuntu will fight you every day until you eventually break it
[05:45] <Joshooa> gluonman: I don't know why either, but last night some guy got reemed for about 20 minutes for asking that same question
[05:45] <Ishnu> Could someone with the UNIX source please pastebin Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt?
[05:45] <MrNaz`> anotherman if you dont know logging in as root is a bad idea, then thats even more reason for you not to log in as root
[05:45] <anotherman> MrNaz`,  I will break ubuntu then
[05:45] <tritium> MrNaz`: the root account can be enabled easily.  It's just a bad idea.
[05:46] <gluonman> Joshooa, that's strange. Is DVDShrink free?
[05:46] <Styles> Hey
[05:46] <tritium> anotherman: read the URL I had ubottu send you about sudo
[05:46] <Styles> When Pidgen updated their client, did we automatically get it?
[05:46] <Joshooa> gluonman: I guess it's "illegal" or something. But yeah, dd can make isos, but not re-encode, you need something to do that, there are some linux alternatives, but so far what I've seen most people use DVDShrink. I think probably just like a trial or freeware version
[05:46] <MrNaz`> anotherman hey... its you time, feel free to waste it as you please
[05:46] <gluonman> Pnux, I was hoping for a method that would work without having to go to the store and get a double-layered DVD.
[05:46] <Clutz> anotherman: see the directions in the PM/IM
[05:47] <[Solars]> does ubuntu support lightscribe?
[05:47] <bobertdos> Styles: No, but Pidgin isn't horrible to compile from source, actually. Although at this point, I'd wait for Ibex.
[05:47] <gluonman> Joshooa, I'll look into DVDShrink. It runs with wine?
[05:47] <[Solars]> !lightscribe
[05:47] <[Solars]> !light scribe
[05:47] <Ishnu> Could someone with the UNIX source please pastebin Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt?
[05:47] <tritium> !botabuse | [Solars]
[05:47] <gluonman> Joshooa, and what I'm doing is not illegal, given that I purchased the original and have no intention of burning the copy for distribution.
[05:49] <edgy> Ishnu: which UNIX??
[05:49] <Ishnu> i really dont mind
[05:49] <Ishnu> newer is better
[05:49] <edgy> Ishnu: linux is OK?
[05:49] <Ishnu> but it doesnt have to be the newest
[05:49] <Ishnu> i think so
[05:49] <Ishnu> im not 100% sure its what im after
[05:49] <Styles> bobertdos, whats ibex?
[05:49] <Ishnu> but i think it is
[05:49] <Ishnu> im capped so i cant dl the source
[05:49] <FloodBot2> Ishnu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:49] <[Solars]> heh
[05:50] <bobertdos> Styles: The next release, due in a month.
[05:50] <edgy> Ishnu: www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt
[05:50] <noway> nobody knows how i'm supposed to modprobe my wlan0 device when i can't figure out the name of it?
[05:50] <Styles> bobertdos, ahh thanks lol
[05:50] <Ishnu> Thanks!
[05:50] <roe_> I can always count on #ubuntu to be lively at 1am
[05:50] <mib_cp3dyn> hi. i've got a major question about installing ubuntu
[05:50] <roe_> mib_cp3dyn, congratulations?
[05:51] <Styles> bobertdos, I don't understand, I would think Gnome would handle updates for programs and Ubuntu would just focous on the OS.
[05:51] <Styles> Since Gnome is the gui layer
[05:51] <edgy> Ishnu: you know about usbmon and don't know about google?
[05:51] <Joshooa> gluonman: Yes it should work fine, unless you have a bug or some error but I've read good reviews for it's reliability with Wine, sometimes it did freeze for people during encoding, but overall good. And yes, I believe you are legal and in your rights, but honestly, even if you weren't, I don't care, and I'd still help you cause the technology is cool and knowledge is power! :)
[05:52] <Ishnu> well
[05:52] <Ishnu> i tried finding it
[05:52] <Ishnu> but i had little success - i am new to linux
[05:52] <gluonman> Joshooa, amen.
[05:52] <bobertdos> Styles: Gnome really has nothing to do with the programs within it; it's just an environment. It is Connical and the Ubuntu project responsible for updates. Since Ubuntu is not a rolling distro, it really doesn't do any updates besides security and bug fixes.
[05:52] <mib_cp3dyn> okay, so in the installation, what partition option do i select? here's my setup. i have 1 hard drive, with 2 small backup-like partitions (shipped with machine) 1 big vista partition and about 50gb of unallocated space for ubuntu. which option in the installer do i pick for it to take the unallocated space and place ubuntu there, without harming my other stuff
[05:53] <mib_cp3dyn> p.s. i'm an ubuntu first-timer
[05:53] <Styles> bobertdos, ahh
[05:53] <roe_> mib_cp3dyn, well, the guided install should offer to use "free" or "unallocated" space
[05:54] <Lamprey> Question, what irc client are people using?  Right now I'm using Pigin with the irc plugin.
[05:54] <mib_cp3dyn> so "Guided-use the largest continous free space" is the one to pick? will it affect any of my other partitions?
[05:54] <roe_> xchat here
[05:54] <roe_> mib_cp3dyn, no
[05:54] <darkbishop> !install
[05:54] <Ishnu> Pidgin here
[05:54] <mib_cp3dyn> roe_ thanks
[05:54] <Joshooa> Lamprey: I use Pidgin myself, if for no other reason that not having to have one program for all my IMs and another for IRC, plus Pidgin is really  nice.
[05:55] <Ishnu> Yeh I like pidgin.
[05:55] <Styles> pidgin is pimpin
[05:55] <Clutz> yay pidgin/gaim
[05:55] <Guest67187> i am having trouble with rhythm box music player not recognizign my songs when it boots
[05:55] <nnull> i never tried pidgin for irc lol, figured it would be crap without trying it
[05:55] <Lamprey> It does seem to work well, but I wasn't sure about features yet.. This is the first time I set up IRC on my linux desktop
[05:55] <Guest67187> what is this error possibly?
[05:55] <Lamprey> Pidgin that is :;
[05:55]  * Clutz is using pidgin for irc lol
[05:56] <Lamprey> Hmm.. it seems i've accidentaly made the right choice :)
[05:56] <gluonman> Joshooa, officialdvdshrink.com is charging to download DVDShrink. I thought it was freeware?
[05:56] <nnull> as much as i like xchat goto any webby forthem and you feel like you jumped in the internet time machine back 20 years
[05:57] <Ishnu> Guest67187
[05:58] <Ishnu> Are the songs on the same partition?
[05:58] <Lamprey> gluon - DVDshrink used to be free, but changed to a pay model after some of the DVD decryption crackdown
[05:59] <Styles> omg its aesome dvdshirink should iwn a prize
[05:59] <Lamprey> DVDshrink is good though.. was someone saying that it works under wine?
[06:00] <roe_> nnull, not sure I follow
[06:01] <nnull> roe_¬ just saying i never tried it because i assumed it wouldnt be good, but it probably is, i see alot scripts running around for it
[06:01] <Rolaulten> Hello...I'm haveing issues with gnome-screensaver crashing...tryed to remove, and purge it...then reinstall and it still crashes when I try and turn it on. pastebin of gnome-screensaver --debug is http://paste.ubuntu.com/52342/
[06:01] <roe_> oh, I really didn't follow :) - I thought you were criticizing xchat's interface for being outdated
[06:02] <ziedrich> whoa, check this out http://tinyurl.com/26oeeq !!!
[06:02] <bmxer> i need help with my ipod..it wont recognize but will charge
[06:03] <mib_cp3dyn> out of curiousity, should i be trying to get the vista bootloader back, or should i just stick with GRUB?
[06:03] <roe_> GRUB is your friend
[06:03] <mib_cp3dyn> haha. aight
[06:03] <Rolaulten> vista has no boot loader...and so you will not be able to boot into ubuntu if you remove grub
[06:03] <nnull> im installing hardy on a usb drive heh, even it used grub :)
[06:03] <roe_> the MS bootloader is miserable
[06:04] <nnull> uses*
[06:05] <Milos> /etc/init.d/apparmor says it doesn't exist
[06:05] <Milos> but /etc/apparmor.d/ exists and has stuff in it
[06:06] <lloyd> Hi, can someone tell me the command to move all the files in a folder (just the folder, not its subfolders) to another directory?  In DOS it was move *.*, but I need to command for linux.  :)
[06:06] <mib_cp3dyn> roe_ thank you for your help! got ubuntu up and running in dual boot with vista successfully. can't wait to play around with it
[06:07] <rsc-> lloyd, "move" is "mv" in linux.
[06:07] <lloyd> right
[06:07] <rsc-> mv * /to/
[06:07] <roe_>  mib_cp3dyn soon you'll be dumping vista
[06:07] <rsc-> you get the idea
[06:07] <tleuser> หวัดดี
[06:07] <complex_number> How do I add an SMB Brother HL2040 Printer to ubuntu?
[06:07] <roe_> complex_number, local or network?
[06:07] <complex_number> network
[06:07] <lloyd> so it would look exactly like this...  mv * / /usr/share/gnome-screensaver
[06:08] <roe_> complex_number, the ubuntu way, I think there is a printer widget under preferences or administration
[06:08] <bmxer> need help finding location for my ipod.it will charge but not recognize
[06:08] <bobertdos> lloyd: No, mv * <destination>
[06:08] <lloyd> okay cool.  thanks for the help!
[06:09] <complex_number> It has HL-2060 but not HL-2040 :('
[06:09] <complex_number> Ubuntu doesn't support HL-2040
[06:10] <Joshooa> complex_number: Find the closest one, it should work just fine still.
[06:10] <Tim__> in ubunto ppoe connection do i have to add name server phyically
[06:10] <Joshooa> complex_number: My 3 in 1 isn't supported, but the closest driver Ubuntu has is still in the family and everything works fine over my network with it
[06:10] <Tim__> i connected but it is nt finding the name server in dsl connection
[06:11] <Roath> Greetings everyone
[06:11] <complex_number> http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/download_prn.html#HL-2040
[06:11] <complex_number> which one do I install, lpr or CUPS
[06:11] <tritium> complex_number: ubuntu uses cups
[06:11] <complex_number> ok
[06:11] <complex_number> cupswrapper driver?
[06:11] <Tim__> line printer daemon
[06:11] <Roath> i got some pre-install questions, is this the right channel for it?
[06:11] <tritium> complex_number: I'm not telling you to download anything.  I'm just telling you what ubuntu uses.
[06:12] <Ishnu> Roath: yes
[06:12] <Tim__> how i do add name server any help
[06:12] <tritium> Tim__: if you need to add them manually, add them to /etc/resolv.conf
[06:12] <Lamprey> Tim edit /etc/resolv.conf
[06:13] <Roath> i want to install linux on a partition but i hear that vista doesn't have the ability to change the boot list, how do i get the ability to choose the OS's then?
[06:13] <tritium> Roath: grub
[06:13] <Roath> what's that?
[06:13] <tritium> !grub | Roath
[06:13] <Roath> <- linux newb
[06:13] <izinucs> Roath, Grub will overwrite the windows boot loader and give you a menu.. when partitioning make 3 partitions.. root "/" = 6-12 gigs.... /swap = 1gig max.... and the rest /home
[06:13] <bobertdos> and it automatically gets installed with Ubuntu
[06:14] <Roath> uuuh, nice
[06:14] <Roath> that solves that problem :D
[06:14] <Ishnu> Roath - installing Ubuntu is very simple - what seems complicated now requires next to no effort from you
[06:14] <izinucs> Roath, do you have more than one partition on the drive now?
[06:14] <Tim__> tritium and lamprey: do u normally edit it or isnt added automatically once it is connected to isp
[06:15] <tritium> Tim__: I never touch it
[06:15] <Roath> yeah, i installed it on my notebook, its just that i wish to keep vista on my desktop
[06:15] <Tim__> tritium how did u setup ur dsl connection
[06:15] <Roath> love ubuntu but sadly still a linux noob
[06:15] <tritium> Tim__: normally, if you receive your IP address via dhcp, you don't need to set it up.
[06:15] <mike-solidus> hey, i need the kernel to recognize my ICH10 intel sata controller cards hard drives partitions but it does not, I know this means I need a newer kernel, but does one exist in ubuntu's repos?
[06:15] <izinucs> Roath,   time cures all ignorance :)
[06:15] <Tim__> i did receive the ip address
[06:15] <bobertdos> Roath: So you're, what? running wubi right now?
[06:15] <Lamprey> I don't either.. dhcp daemon will add your dns server
[06:16] <Tim__> if mozilla is not working
[06:16] <tritium> Tim__: plug dsl modem into phone line
[06:16] <Ishnu> Does the Ubuntu installer automatically make a swap when you choose the default partition option?
[06:16] <Roath> wubi? i just installed ubuntu on my notebook, no idea what wubi is
[06:16] <Tim__> i am logged into my isp
[06:16] <izinucs> Ishnu, yes
[06:16] <Ishnu> ah k cool
[06:16] <Ishnu> does having a swap make much difference?
[06:16] <Tim__> i am longged in to the isp and provided local and remote ip address
[06:17] <bobertdos> Roath: oh, I misread your post, sorry. But we still need to know -- do you have more than one partition right now on your desktop?
[06:17] <izinucs> Ishnu, depending on your system and ram it may never be used.. but when you need it .. you need it... 1 gig should be plenty.
[06:17] <Ishnu> Ok cool
[06:17] <Roath> yeah, i have a 50gb partition i made for the purpose of installing ubuntu
[06:17] <Ishnu> hmm
[06:17] <bobertdos> Roath: unformatted as of yet, correct?
[06:17] <izinucs> Roath, split that so you have 3.. make root 8 gigs
[06:18] <Ishnu> You dont want a partition, am I right? I thought Ubuntu just likes using free space?
[06:18] <Roath> well, i made the partition in vista, so i guess thats true
[06:18] <tritium> izinucs: he can just let the installer automatically partition it
[06:18] <bobertdos> Ishnu: You can do it either way.
[06:18] <Roath> why 8 gigs?
[06:18] <izinucs> tritium, yes.. but if he needs to reinstall later (like most all noobs.. even me) it's helpful to save all your date in a seperate /home
[06:19] <butter> How do I connect to a new server with xchat ubuntu ?
[06:19] <tritium> izinucs: k.i.s.s.
[06:19] <ltracy_> hey, I'm getting a E: /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.13.1-5ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[06:19] <ltracy_> .  I haven't updated in quite awhile.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?
[06:19] <bobertdos> Roath: The amount is a little arbitrary. The point is that most people don't need incredibly much space for the root filesystem.
[06:19] <izinucs> Roath, you could probably get away with less. but as you experiment you'll find that some things you install get put in / (root) and not your data partition (/home)
[06:20] <ltracy_> (That is when I'm trying to use update manager to update)
[06:20] <Tim__> how could i check if ubunto has setup my network card to ip dhcp protocol
[06:21] <mike-solidus> cmon, surely someone in here knows about the kernel? your a massive branch of linux. . . this is the 4th day of me checking into irc trying to find someone
[06:21] <tritium> Tim__: have you configured it at all?  If not, network-manager should be handling it for dhcp.
[06:21] <izinucs> tritium, yea.. I agree mostly.. so you wait until they've been running the system for a while and bork something that they can't back out of and end up reformatting and reinstalling.. loosing all data
[06:21] <sysdoc> Tim__: ifconfig
[06:21] <tritium> izinucs: if something breaks, then backup data and reinstall
[06:21] <ltracy_> mike-solidus, what about the kernel?
[06:21] <bobertdos> Uh oh, did we scare him away? haha
[06:21] <Tim__> tritium i havent...i am wondering why it said remote ip address and local address
[06:21] <tritium> Tim__: what's "it"?
[06:22] <izinucs> tritium, just trying to avoid that step
[06:22] <Lamprey> ltracy - you need to update your repositories... go to system->administration->software sources.. when you close it it will update.. either that or go to a terminal window and run sudo apt-get update
[06:22] <tritium> izinucs: it may not happen
[06:22] <Tim__> tritium :let me check
[06:23] <izinucs> mike-solidus, the newer kernel is part of the next release.. you could install  it now if you like.. not the kernel alone but the entire distro.. but first ask in #ubuntu+1 and see if anyone know if it addresses your issue..
[06:23] <mike-solidus> Itracy_: I have a problem with its support of my intel ICH10 sata controller card, I got ubuntu to install by changing the mode to ahci but i can't leave it as that because windows no longer recognizes it when it is in ahci mode. I've poked around a little and found that ICH10 support has recently been added into the kernel and is availabe in intel_ata.ko and uhci. But i cant find an answer past that
[06:23] <zohreh> hello
[06:24] <zohreh> how to install qt in ubuntu 7.10
[06:24] <mike-solidus> izinucs: sweet, i'll go check, didn't know about ubuntu+1
[06:24] <izinucs> tritium, may not, might not, probably won't .... then Murphy shows up and changes everything.
[06:24] <bruenig> while :;do :;done
[06:24] <bruenig> woops wrong channel
[06:26] <zohreh> any idea?
[06:27] <ltracy_> I'm still getting the "Subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" after running apt-get update and re-checking for updates
[06:27] <Allan_Rhae> hello all
[06:28] <Allan_Rhae> hello all
[06:28] <bobertdos> Allan_Rhae: How may we help you?
[06:28] <chubs> he left
[06:29] <bobertdos> I see that :p
[06:29] <thorny_sun> how can i get a service to launch automatically at bootup?
[06:30] <nnull> thorny_sun¬ system > admin > services
[06:30] <nickgarvey> thorny_sun: what kind of service?
[06:30] <thorny_sun> i've gotta do this on a server -- it's a fastcgi service
[06:30] <nickgarvey> yeah what nnull said then
[06:30] <thorny_sun>  but it's on a server-- so i don't have a gui
[06:31] <tritium> thorny_sun: update-rc.d
[06:31] <thorny_sun> where is that?
[06:32] <thorny_sun> tritium: ?
[06:32] <roe_> thorny_sun, /etc/rc.local?
[06:32] <tritium> thorny_sun: /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
[06:32] <tritium> thorny_sun: you asked me where it is, so I told you.
[06:34] <thorny_sun> oh it's a binary
[06:34] <Tim__> just setting up a dsl connection seems to be a rocket science in ubunto
[06:34] <nnull> lol Tim__ how so
[06:34] <nnull> you mosut have a modem huh
[06:35] <nnull> must*
[06:35] <izinucs> Tim__, do you have a router hooked up?
[06:35] <tritium> Tim__: no
[06:35] <Tim__> everything is hookedup
[06:35] <magnetron> Tim__, do you have a router?
[06:35] <Tim__> i even logged into my isp server
[06:35] <magnetron> "logged in"?
[06:35] <izinucs> Tim__, no .. I mean IS there a router between your computer and the connection  to the isp?
[06:35] <Tim__> it picked up the dns server too
[06:35] <Tim__> just a simple setup
[06:36] <magnetron> Tim__, does the simple setup include a router?
[06:36] <Tim__> computer-adsl router-phone line
[06:36] <user__> 为什么是英文阿？
[06:36] <magnetron> !zh | user__
[06:36] <izinucs> Tim__, set the router up to make the connection to the dsl connection.. the capability is built in
[06:36] <user__> ubuntu-cn
[06:37] <nickgarvey> user__: /j #ubuntu-cn
[06:37] <Tim__> how do i know if my network card in ubunto is configured for dynamic ip address
[06:37] <izinucs> Tim__, the computer OS typically determins that.
[06:37] <nomingzi> where can i find information on the steps/procedures on how to install VMware Server onto Ubuntu Desktop AMD64 ?
[06:38] <ltracy_> Where do we paste to?
[06:38] <magnetron> !vmware | nomingzi
[06:38] <nickgarvey> !vmware | nomingzi
[06:38] <nickgarvey> magnetron: touche
[06:38] <magnetron> ltracy_, read topic
[06:38] <izinucs> nomingzi, you download the tar file from vmware and compile it.. instructions on vmware's site.
[06:38] <user__> 谢谢！
[06:38] <ekow> Simple question, how do i create a shortcut to my documents folder on the desktop?
[06:39] <CaptainMurphy> Has anyone ever delt with the [errno 5] Input/output install error while installing ubuntu 8.04?
[06:41] <ekow> anyone? just trying to make a shortcut...
[06:41] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: Yes I just had that the other night actually, had to get a new CD in the end but installed and using it now
[06:41] <ltracy_> This is what I'm getting from update manager when I try to do an update:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/52360/   .  On advice from here, I closed update manager, ran apt-get update, and then did a check for new updates (in update manager) and I still get the same error.
[06:41] <CaptainMurphy> wait all you did was get a new CD?
[06:42] <Lamprey> ekow - right click on the folder and select "make link", then move the link to your desktop
[06:42] <Joshoo1> ekow: Just right click on desktop, create launcher, change type to location, and create it all with the info
[06:42] <Joshoo1> ekow: Or what he said
[06:42] <[Solars]> anyone know where the guest module is for virtualbox located? I checked the /opt/ directory and its empty
[06:42] <izinucs> CaptainMorgan, you might also need to use the "alternate" cd for machines with limited resources or smaller amounts of ram
[06:43] <CaptainMurphy> jashoo1, what exactly did you do? I've been pulling my hair out over this for the last few days
[06:43] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: Yes it wasn't able to copy from the CD I had, even though it was an official one from my Ubuntu book, used an older burnt CD I had, and here I am.
[06:43] <CaptainMorgan> izinucs, I might?
[06:43] <CaptainMurphy> how old?
[06:43] <ekow> Lamprey thanks
[06:43] <izinucs> CaptainMorgan, depends on your machine.. if it's older or doesn't meet the minimum ram amount for the live cd.
[06:44] <CaptainMorgan> izinucs, no
[06:44] <Lamprey> ekow: if you're trying to do if from the terminal window use the command sudo ln -s <original folder> ~/Desktop/<linked folder name>
[06:44] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: I used a 7.10 CD cause I didn't have any other 8.04 CD
[06:44] <MrPickl1> by any chance, would someone know of a good way to compile an uncompressed disk image into an .iso  for the sake of making something that could have a valid boot flag?
[06:44] <Lamprey> ekow np :)
[06:44] <ltracy_> how can I reinstall the same version of a package?
[06:44] <CaptainMorgan> izinucs, think for a second.
[06:44] <Clutz> will someone take a look at my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52324/ and/or my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/52325/ and help me figure out why I get a black screen and my computer locks up after the ubuntu loading bar finishes?
[06:44] <Pulpie> hey all 1247 people
[06:45] <CaptainMurphy> okay.  I've tried 804 and 804 alternate and I've tried makeing a usb version using unetbootin but none of that has worked
[06:45] <Clutz> Pulpie, one of them is you and another is a bot o.o
[06:45] <Joshoo1> hey Pulpie
[06:45] <esac> how do i run a menu item as root ? assume i dont know the name of the programs binary. is there an easy way to 'right click->run as root' ?
[06:45] <MrPickl1> pulpie, pulpie
[06:45] <koala_man> MrPickl1: for cdrom boot?
[06:45] <jim_p> hi guys
[06:45] <Pulpie> Clutz: who is a bot?
[06:45] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: Do they all give you the same error?
[06:45] <CaptainMurphy> I'm burning a copy of 7.04 now.
[06:45] <MrPickl1> koala_man, yes.
[06:45] <Clutz> Pulpie: FloodBot2 ?
[06:45] <Pulpie> Clutz: thats not mine...
[06:45] <Clutz> Pulpie: nono i know that
[06:45] <CaptainMurphy> Its possible to update to hardy herion after I install fiesty, right?
[06:45] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: I'd do at least 7.10, if possible
[06:45] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: Yes
[06:45] <slaterock> anyone got spore working?
[06:46] <Clutz> Pulpie: just pointing out that you said hi to yourself and a bot
[06:46] <izinucs> CaptainMorgan, you have to go to Gutsy first then Hardy
[06:46] <jim_p> does anyone know if it is possible to configure samba through a web interface?
[06:46] <Clutz> Pulpie: sorry for my bad attempt at humor
[06:46] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: That's where I am now actually, I had to eat dinner while finishing the upgrade, forgot to plug in laptop, and now it keeps wanting to do a partial upgrade over and over
[06:46] <MrPickl1> slaterock, it will install with wine, but I cant get the program to contact the network
[06:46] <slaterock> hmm
[06:46] <CaptainMurphy> ah
[06:46] <Clutz> :-(
[06:46] <slaterock> mine works, cept i can't see my character
[06:46] <Keal> tax advertising by 100% and the federal government easily recovers the 700 billion in less than 4 months.
[06:46] <Pulpie> Clutz: oh well more then 1200 of them are bots
[06:46] <Pulpie> like FloodBot1
[06:47] <Clutz> Pulpie: really?
[06:47] <izinucs> !ot | Keal
[06:47] <Pulpie> Clutz: more then likly
[06:47] <Clutz> wow
[06:47] <CaptainMurphy> I don't get whats wrong with hardy, it really died hard on me.  Dpkg got damaged somehow during a normal update. Now I can't install becuase of some huge bug they haven't fixed in the hardy installer?
[06:47] <koala_man> MrPickl1: makeisoimage -hard-disk-boot -b diskimage /somewhere > lul.iso I think should do it
[06:47] <Pulpie> Clutz: /names then /lastlog bot
[06:47] <ltracy_> hmm, did anybody look at my paste?
[06:47] <Pulpie> ltracy_: repaste it
[06:47] <MrPickl1> slaterock, im sure its being worked on, but i havent had much success - btw type screenames at the beginning of msg to ensure the reciepient can see it
[06:47] <ltracy_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/52360/
[06:48] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: Tried stuff like dpkg --configure -a?
[06:48] <slaterock> MrPickLl alright
[06:48] <MrPickl1> koala_man, that sounds like an awesome way to do that- would makeisoimage be in the repositories if i dont already have it?
[06:48] <Clutz> so who knows where i can find a guide to get EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GT 512MB AGP 8X graphics card to work on ubuntu 8.04 all traditional methods have failed thus far
[06:48] <CaptainMurphy> Jashoo1 yes, it messed things up hardcore
[06:48] <Pulpie> ltracy_: what are you doing?
[06:49] <ltracy_> Pulpie, just trying to do  updates
[06:49] <koala_man> MrPickl1: yes, under genisoimage. it's what used to be called mkisofs
[06:49] <Pulpie> ltracy_: how so, apt-get update?
[06:49] <macvr> hi guys... does anyone know of an easy to use video editing software?
[06:49] <Lamprey> Clutz, you should be able to google that one.. I know there are a couple of guides in the ubuntu forums
[06:49] <ltracy_> Pulpie, update manager
[06:49] <koala_man> MrPickl1: uhm and I meant genisoimage the first time too
[06:49] <izinucs> Clutz, usually that works right out of the box.. then you enable the restricted driver and all is peachy.. what happened with yours?
[06:50] <Pulpie> ltracy_: dont know what that is really, i dont use ubuntu i use debian
[06:50] <MrPickl1> sweet, ill give that a try. Many thanks from the wondern00b
[06:50] <ltracy_> Pulpie, same thing
[06:50] <CaptainMurphy> This was a murphy's law kind of situation. I got a virus on my windows partition that basically knocked out that part of the system, then my ubuntu partition died when I tried to run dpkg config.  Now I have a really really big paperweight where I used to have a computer
[06:50] <Pulpie> ltracy_: actually its very different
[06:50] <Clutz> izinucs: the PCI-E one works out of box, i have the AGP one
[06:50] <CaptainMorgan> izinucs, please stop. Thank you.
[06:50] <izinucs> Clutz, still..
[06:50] <koala_man> do you have a lot of paper to go with it?
[06:50] <ltracy_> Pulpie, no, not debian and ubuntu, update manager uses aptitude to do updates I'm pretty sure
[06:50] <izinucs> CaptainMorgan, what?.. not  talking to you.
[06:50] <Clutz> izinucs: after 3 different methods of getting drivers, my screen goes black and my pc locks up after the ubuntu loading screen
[06:51] <Pulpie> ltracy_: it does but i dont know what command it runs
[06:51] <Clutz> izinucs: woudl you like to see the xorg.conf and/or the Xorg.0.log?
[06:51] <izinucs> Clutz
[06:51] <izinucs> Clutz.. sure.
[06:51] <ltracy_> Pulpie, well, I get the same message now if I try to do apt-get install bzr (which is really what I want right now), as it tries to update the package util-linux
[06:51] <Keal> how come not a single linux distro has taken advantage of a method to feed suggestions of the people directly to congress?
[06:51] <macvr> hi guys... does anyone know of an easy to use video editing software?
[06:51] <izinucs> avidimux
[06:51] <CaptainMorgan> izinucs, right, you aren't - so stop please. Thank you.
[06:51] <Pulpie> ltracy_: have you tried to install from source?
[06:52] <Clutz> izinucs: xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52324/ Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/52325/
[06:52] <ltracy_> Pulpie, util-linux or bzr
[06:52] <macvr> ?
[06:52] <Lamprey> macvr - google for linux video editing
[06:52] <ltracy_> Pulpie, I suppose I could do that for bzr, but if I'm gonna lose all use of packages from now on I might as well go back to gentoo or slackware :)
[06:52] <Joshoo1> So, Ubuntu keeps telling me it wants to do a partial upgrade and then when I try it tells me it can't do an upgrade from 'hardy' to 'gutsy' which is good, but why does it want me to keep trying to do it then and how do I not do it anymore?
[06:52] <Lamprey> there are a few editors out there
[06:52] <chubs> Keal, ?
[06:52] <jark> does anyone know where mplayer w32 codecs are located in ubuntu 7.10.  I used synaptic to install mplayer.
[06:52] <Pulpie> ltracy_: lol
[06:52] <esac> does anybody know if there are any alternatives to rdesktop
[06:53] <bobertdos> !medibuntu | jark
[06:53] <macvr> lamprey>i could have googled but from the repos?
[06:53] <Crazz> hey guys
[06:53] <AngryKoala> hey there
[06:53] <Pulpie> ltracy_: try apt-get update upgrade dist-upgrade
[06:53] <nomingzi> izinucs: The new version of VMware Server 2.0 has released, should I download and compile it, instead of following the old steps in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server/AMD64
[06:54] <ltracy_> Pulpie you know where I get the ubuntu .deb files?
[06:54] <CaptainMurphy> Jashoo1 is it really better to do it from 7.10 rather than 7.04?
[06:54] <Crazz> i have a question to ask but i don't want to be rude if you guys don't like help me please things... i can't check the site won't load on my iMac too old of a browser
[06:54] <ltracy_> Pulpie like where can I get ubuntu-2.13.1-5ubuntu2.deb?
[06:54] <izinucs> nomingzi, I like the new 2.o.. works good for me.. even though mine is 32 bit.
[06:54] <CaptainMurphy> becuase I already ahve the 7.04 iso on the machine?
[06:54] <Lamprey> macvr: oh.. hehe sorry.. I'm not sure.. let me check what's available
[06:54] <Pulpie> ltracy_: yeah google search for them
[06:54] <Clutz> any thoughts izinucs?
[06:54] <Pulpie> ltracy_: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
[06:54] <chubs> !ask | Crazz
[06:55] <nomingzi> izinucs: do i need to download the Tar, and compile it ? i m not good in compiling
[06:55] <macvr> Lamprey > i have tried pitivi but it just seems to freeze up on my!!!
[06:55] <macvr> system
[06:55] <kinection> I'm trying to get a Dell 720 printer working and I need to find the location of the ppds, the forum post i am looking at directs me to /usr/share/cups/models, however, that folder no longer exists in hardy heron, where do I go to find the PPDs? I'm looking for the Lexmark Z600 (Dell 720).
[06:55] <bobertdos> Crazz: What are you using for a browser? What kind of an iMac do you have?
[06:55] <CaptainMurphy> 9% done downloading 7.10
[06:55] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: I would only say so cause it's new and will have less updates and upgrades than an older version, and it can leave other stuff on your system that wouldn't be used in a newer version.  Whichever one works for you though.
[06:55] <izinucs> Clutz, xorg.conf looks like you've been manually building it.  looks ok.. logs I don't read so well.   xorg.conf typically doesn't have everything you have in yours.. pretty blank actually.  So what 3 methods did you try to get the card working?
[06:56] <CaptainMurphy> The thing I'm worried about is how far the bug goes back
[06:56] <Lamprey> macvr: avidemux and kino are both in the repo's.. do a search in synaptic for video editor and it should pull them up
[06:56] <Crazz> 1999 iMac G3 333mhz proc 32mb ram 6mb vid 6gb hdd Mac OS 8.6 IE 4.5
[06:56] <Lamprey> there a a couple of others, but those two are popular
[06:56] <Clutz> izinucs: all except the resolutions were automatically generated by nvidia setup
[06:56] <Clutz> izinucs: it didn't work before i added the resolutions either, was hoping it would help
[06:57] <izinucs> nomingzi, tar yes.. compiling it is pretty easy.. sudo apt-get install build-essential.. then move to the directory where you unpaked the tar file and sudo ./vmware-yada-yada.pl
[06:57] <CaptainMurphy> I read this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600126 all abou tthe bug and people were doing all kinds of crazy stuff to get it working, pulling out ram, mixing up master and slave drives and cdroms, all kinds of stuff
[06:57] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: Well, I tried 8.04, had the bug, tried 7.10, and now it works, so something in between there gave me the problem but supposedly it just means your CD is messed up, even getting a different copy of 8.04 SHOULD work, but, you never know.
[06:57] <izinucs> Clutz.. so on install of Ubuntu the rez was borked and you went directly to xorg to edit?
[06:57] <Crazz> i boot to the cd load the kernel and get Ramdisk incomplete write -28 !=32768 invalid compressed format kernal panic unable to mount fs on unkown-block(1,0)
[06:58] <Clutz> izinucs: first i tried doing the standard, enable restricted driver method, got that black screen of doom on boot so i restored my xorg.conf
[06:58] <Joshoo1> CaptainMurphy: I didn't have internet at the time I was trying to do it, just my collection of Linux CDs/DVDs from the last year or so, so I just tried different CDs
[06:58] <jim_p> !swat
[06:58] <CaptainMurphy> I tried 3 copies of the 8.04 CD, all md5 verfied one of them was the alternate CD
[06:58] <bobertdos> crazz: I'm not even sure you could run the alternate with that...
[06:58] <Clutz> izinucs: seconds i tried using the driver from the nvidia site, same thing
[06:58] <Clutz> izinucs: 3rd i tried envy, also same result
[06:58] <Crazz> ubuntu_PowerPC_dapper
[06:58] <macvr> Lamprey>  oops... didnt realize i could do a description search in synaptic[noob!]
[06:58] <izinucs> Clutz, does this card work on windows? or have you tried?
[06:59] <Clutz> izinucs: lastly i tried going back to the nvidia driver from the site but added resolutions to the xorg.conf hoping it would help
[06:59] <CaptainMurphy> and the install CD worked on a laptop of mine like a month ago, so I'm sure its not the CD, I think its just the installer is buggy somehow and it hits some files it has trouble with and then gives and I/O error
[06:59] <Clutz> izinucs: works fine on windows
[06:59] <bobertdos> Crazz: yup, that's pretty limited........I'm not quite sure what to suggest.
[06:59] <Clutz> izinucs: works mildly on vesa: 800x600 resolution with no 3d
[07:00] <izinucs> Clutz, have you tried "nv" instead of vesa?
[07:00] <Clutz> izinucs: not yet
[07:00] <mistform> how do I empty the trash bin?
[07:00] <Crazz> have you hear of a distro callled Damn Small Linux?
[07:00] <Lamprey> macvr: np, drop back in and let me know which you prefer after you get a chance to use them. :)
[07:00] <Clutz> izinucs: should i try that now on my default xorg.conf or the one i showed you up there?
[07:00] <mistform> Crazz, DSL, yes. used for flash-mob computing
[07:00] <MrPickl1> koala_man, you still in here?
[07:00] <CaptainMurphy> Crazz: I've used DSL before, its good
[07:00] <izinucs> Clutz, sure
[07:01] <Clutz> izinucs: which?
[07:01] <macvr> Lamprey> sure...
[07:01] <macvr> thank u
[07:01] <phpcurious> hi
[07:01] <izinucs> Clutz, switch nvidia for nv
[07:01] <AngryKoala> In HH, I tried to make a new login in a window and it said that my x server was configured badly, possibly the driver?
[07:01] <Clutz> kk
[07:01] <Crazz> well i can't use the flash part but you think there is a way to install it from os 8?
[07:01] <phpcurious> hello how do you run a .bin file in ubuntu?
[07:01] <bobertdos> Crazz: yeah, there's that, and Puppy,,,,,and a few others. I don't know which ones are compatible with PowerPC Macs though.
[07:01] <CaptainMurphy> bin stands for binary, whats it for?
[07:01] <phpcurious> actually i want to install a newly downloaded zend studio for eclipse
[07:02] <phpcurious> it's in .bin format
[07:02] <CaptainMurphy> was there also a .cue file?
[07:02] <Lamprey> phpcurious : technicaly you can try to "run" any program.  do a sudo chmod +x <filename> to make it executable
[07:02] <chubs> just chmod +x it and then ./crazy.bin phpcurious
[07:02] <CaptainMurphy> if so then you could use a CD burning program
[07:02] <mistform> how do I empty the trash bin as root???
[07:02] <phpcurious> okay wait let me check it
[07:02] <chubs> it needs to be executable before you can execute it
[07:02] <MrPickl1> ... for anyone who knows or has used genisoimage to make a bootable cd, Im getting an error related to pathspec, not sure what it's referring to
[07:03] <Crazz> just ran system profiler and processor is PowerPC G3
[07:03] <AngryKoala> What is a proper driver for an 8800GT in xorg.conf?
[07:03] <Crazz> that help narrow it down a bit?
[07:03] <jim_p> AngryKoala: nvidia
[07:03] <bobertdos> !trash | mistform
[07:03] <AngryKoala> it says that it is configured badly
[07:03] <jim_p> AngryKoala: provided that you have the relevant package installed
[07:03] <mistform> bobertdos, that does nothing.
[07:04] <mistform> no help whatsover
[07:04] <Clutz> AngryKoala: I only managed to get 8800GT working with the nvidia driver from the nvidia website
[07:04] <Lamprey> angrykoala you'll want to use the NV driver over the Nvidia driver I believe?
[07:04] <AngryKoala> I used envy
[07:04] <mistform> whatsoever*
[07:04] <Clutz> AngryKoala: it will also autoconfigure your xorg.conf
[07:04] <bobertdos> mistform: not even when you do sudo rm to that location?
[07:04] <mistform> bobertdos, ty, now THAT helps
[07:04] <izinucs> Clutz, did you change to the nv driver?
[07:04] <taknikin> Im having trouble getting my screen res back to its original options
[07:04] <macvr> guys... how many of u are using pidgin? i'd like to know if i can turn off the notification when each person logs in/out
[07:04] <AngryKoala> ok, but my problem is that when I try to open a "new login in a window" it says my x server is not properly configured
[07:04] <taknikin> Im stuck at no hgher than 800x600
[07:04] <Lamprey> angrykoala my bad.. you're probably trying to get glx and desktop effects for the cool stuff?
[07:04] <Clutz> izinucs: yeah, about to reboot
[07:04] <jim_p> do not use stupid tools to magically create xystem critical files like xorg.conf!!!
[07:05] <Joshoo1> whenever I try to check my repositories in Synaptic, it tells me they've changed and I must hit reload, after I hit reload and then it updates and I try to view/edit my repositories, it does the same thing, and I can't do it.
[07:05] <jim_p> *system critical
[07:05] <izinucs> Clutz, just ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:05] <AngryKoala> <--- Stupid tools for stupid people
[07:05] <bobertdos> mistform: and actually, you want to do: sudo rm <that location>/*
[07:05] <phpcurious> Lamprey: it works now. thanks for the info!
[07:05] <Clutz> izinucs: ok
[07:05] <jim_p> Joshoo1: paste your sources.list somewhere
[07:05] <Lamprey> joshoo1: have you tried running sudo apt-get update from a terminal window?
[07:06] <Joshoo1> Lamprey: Yes
[07:06] <mistform> bobertdos, how do I remove directories?
[07:06] <mistform> bobertdos, without emptying the files first
[07:06] <chubs> mistform, rm -r
[07:06] <macvr> guys... how many of u are using pidgin? i'd like to know if i can turn off the notification when each person logs in/out
[07:07] <Joshoo1> jim_p: What do you mean paste my sources.list somewhere?
[07:07] <mistform> chubs, could I make a launcher to "sudo rm -r /home/mist/.local/share/Trash/files/*", or would this be not a good thing to do?
[07:07] <Clutz> pulled up pidgin on another computer while i do this
[07:07] <AngryKoala> my x server says "cannot start a new display, perhaps it is not configured well"
[07:07] <izinucs> macvr, there is an option for that.. can't remember where though
[07:07] <bobertdos> mistform: You may actually want to cd into the trash and then: sudo rm -rf .
[07:07] <jim_p> Joshoo1: your problem seems to be something is /etc/apt/sources.list  . paste its content in pastebin for us to see
[07:07] <chubs> mistform, wouldn't make a difference but I don't see the point. you'd probably have to use gksu since sudo is called from the command line only also
[07:08] <macvr> izinucs>i just cant find that option!  what are u using?
[07:08] <chubs> macvr, check in the plugins
[07:08] <izinucs> macvr, for  irc? here? xchat and sometimes irssi
[07:09] <bmxer> need help with ipod it charges but wont recognize any suggestions?
[07:09] <mistform> chubs, whats the difference between running gksu and sudo from the commandline? I tried gksu and it didn't give me all the correct permissions for a game to download patch files
[07:09] <izinucs> !ipod | bmxer
[07:09] <macvr> chubs> i have no plugins enabled... or which one does this?
[07:10] <Flannel> mistform: gksu should be used for graphical programs, sudo for command line programs
[07:10] <bmxer> iz
[07:10] <Lamprey> ubottu: ewww.  rockbox?  That's might not be a good suggestion for someone that just wants to sync their ipod on linux...
[07:10] <bmxer> i cant get ubunta to recognize my ipod...
[07:10] <bmxer> ubuntu*
[07:11] <Keal> nite zzz
[07:11] <mistform> macvr, press Ctrl+P for preferences in Pidgin. Then go to Sounds, and the box near the bottom should have a list of things you can check/unchek. look there
[07:11] <jark> I have a medibuntu problem.  I tried to install mplayer, but I get this error " Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>=1.18.3) but 1.18.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[07:11] <Clutz> izinucs: no such luck, my screen is blank (like it's out of range) but i could hear it start
[07:11] <AngryKoala> my x server says "cannot start a new display, perhaps it is not configured well" when I try to make a new login in a new window
[07:11] <Joshoo1> Here's my sources list! http://paste.ubuntu.com/52367/
[07:11] <izinucs> Clutz, during all your trials and errors did you happen to install nvidia-settings?
[07:12] <voidmage> I'm getting a "no space left on device" error when I know that's not the case. baobab reports the correct amount of free space but df doesn't
[07:12] <voidmage> where can I find to fix this?
[07:12] <Clutz> izinucs: only if it was installed along with the restricted driver, nvidia driver. or envy
[07:12] <Crazz> what is the chances of finding a version on linux you can install from mac os?
[07:12] <Flannel> Joshoo1: Whats the problem?  Oh.  It could be a bug in the version from -proposed.  You really shouldn't be running proposed (and also should think twice before enabling backports as well)
[07:13] <bobertdos> Flannel: You once told someone how to do disk checks on boot using the file touch function. How did that go again?
[07:13] <Flannel> bobertdos: sudo touch /forcefsck then reboot
[07:13] <voidmage> what
[07:13] <voidmage> this is weird
[07:13] <mistform> macvr, any luck?
[07:14] <Flannel> bobertdos: there's a flag you can pass to shutdown too.  You'd have to check the manpage
[07:14] <macvr> izinucs> how are they ? easy to use?  do u guys actually type another users username or do u just click and it comes?
[07:14] <voidmage> anyone have any ideas?
[07:15] <bobertdos> Flannel: Yeah, I read the manpage, but when I realized it was meant to modify file flags, I realized I forgot the filename.
[07:15] <izinucs> Clutz, I'm thinking that maybe you have an install of 2 different nvidia drivers.. other than synaptic I dont know another way to check that out.. before looking .. you might install nvidia-settings and change the driver back to nvidia in xorg.. restart x and then off the System/admin menu you'll find nvidia-settings.. might be able to make the changes there.. actually run it from terminal..
[07:15] <macvr> mistform>i dont have probs with sounds but will check if there is anything there for no displaying the log events
[07:15] <taknikin> !paste
[07:15] <Joshoo1> Flannel: I want the backports but they aren't important, just fun. it keeps telling me it needs to run a partial upgrade and wants to try to go from hardy to gutsy, I can't even get into repositories to uncheck stuff, I can only edit sources.list
[07:16] <Flannel> bobertdos: if /forcefsck exists, it'll do a fsck, if /fastboot exists it'll explicitly not fsck.  If they're both... I'm not really sure.
[07:16] <complex_number> how do I watch a DVD in ubuntu?
[07:16] <izinucs> macvr, xchat is much easier than pidgin for irc.. irssi is a terminal app and great to have around in case your gui doesn't work.
[07:16] <voidmage> baobab is reporting 440.8GB as used, but df is reporting all 466G as used
[07:16] <Flannel> Joshoo1: sources.list is all you need.  Comment out the backports and proprosed lines.
[07:16] <voidmage> where can I find the 26GB discrepancy?
[07:16] <samsss> i dont remember who help me with virtualbox and file share, but it takes for ever when i try to see files on shared folders, is it normal? can i speed it up?
[07:16] <faria> hi all
[07:16] <macvr> izinucs> thnx
[07:16] <Flannel> Joshoo1: also, check this folder for contents: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[07:16] <Clutz> izinucs: I uninstalled envy completely, and the nvidia driver from the site removed the restricted driver one when it was installing
[07:16] <Joshoo1> Flannel: You think that's what's making Synaptic keep telling to reload my sources?
[07:16] <faria> i cant play online movies in ubuntu
[07:16] <izinucs> macvr, don't install xchat-gnome.. just xchat
[07:17] <complex_number> How do I watch a dvd in ubuntu?
[07:17] <macvr> ok
[07:17] <bobertdos> !dvd | complex_number
[07:17] <Flannel> Joshoo1: No, I have no idea what synaptic is doing.  But it could be a non-stable version, since that certainly sounds like a bug
[07:17] <voidmage> anyone?
[07:17] <samsss> complex_number, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras mplayer
[07:17] <Flannel> voidmage: what is du saying?
[07:17] <izinucs> Clutz, so. .. remind me.. no gui at all or bad resolution.. late for me.
[07:18] <faria> i cant play online movies in ubuntu
[07:18] <bobertdos> faria: could you be a bit more specific, please?
[07:18] <voidmage> how do i sort du by filesize?
[07:18] <Clutz> izinucs: the gui must have come up this last time, it made the appropriate sounds, i just can't see
[07:18] <Joshoo1> Flannel: K I just commented out, and nothing in that folder.
[07:18] <Lamprey> faria: you may need to install w32 codecs to watch on-line movies.
[07:18] <Clutz> izinucs: normally my computer locks up when i boot
[07:18] <Flannel> voidmage: er, you dont.  Or at least, not on its own.
[07:18] <izinucs> Clutz, try ctrl+alt+f7
[07:18] <Flannel> Joshoo1: Alright, save and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:18] <Clutz> izinucs: what's that do?
[07:19] <Joshoo1> Flannel: K, halfway done with that will report back soon thanks for helping me out
[07:19] <Tazlc> que tal alguien de mexico
[07:19] <izinucs> Clutz, takes you to the typical tty for the gui.. ctrl+alt+f1-6 are text based tty's
[07:19] <Flannel> !es | Tazlc
[07:19] <Clutz> izinucs: ok
[07:19] <Tazlc> tks frieds
[07:20] <voidmage> Flannel: then how can I find the offending 20G file?
[07:20] <Flannel> voidmage: Its likely not a 20G file.
[07:20] <izinucs> Clutz, also is the monitor a crt or lcd?
[07:20] <Flannel> voidmage: what does du say your total usage is on that partition?
[07:20] <voidmage> 441G
[07:20] <voidmage> df is reporting 466G used though
[07:21] <Flannel> voidmage: so, baobab and du both report 441?
[07:21] <voidmage> right
[07:21] <Lamprey> quit
[07:21] <voidmage> it's df that reports 466 and programs report "no space left on device"
[07:22] <Joshoo1> Flannel: I think the problem stems from I had to install 7.10 and then upgrade to 8.04 cause a straight install to 8.04 messed up my graphics, and then I forgot to plug in my laptop and it died while finishing up the upgrade, so my sources got messed up and not everything was done. I believe that's the root of this problem
[07:23] <voidmage> can barely search for this on google since everything thinks i'm out of space
[07:23] <bastid_raZor> voidmage; you could try getting rid of something
[07:23] <Flannel> voidmage: Have you cleaned your package cache? (sudo apt-get clean)?
[07:23] <complex_number> When I try and play a DVD, Mplayer does nothing
[07:23] <voidmage> Flannel: I have a separate home partition
[07:23] <complex_number> and it freezes
[07:23] <Flannel> voidmage: Also, check /var/ (especially /var/log/) for a runaway log file
[07:24] <voidmage> oh
[07:24] <Flannel> Joshoo1: This ought to fix that then.
[07:24] <voidmage> runaway process
[07:24] <voidmage> and we're back
[07:25] <Joshoo1> Flannel: Looks like it, installing ok, I saw replacement synaptic and replacement apt-get in there.  Still working but farther than the last time i tried doing this.
[07:25] <macvr> chubs>yep was there in plugins... its eithere that or no1 has left /joined the room since lamprey quit mistform... > join/part hiding plugin
[07:25] <complex_number> !Medibuntu
[07:26] <voidmage> had a process redirecting output to a logfile
[07:26] <voidmage> the process died but the file still had space reserved for it
[07:26] <Indoctrine> Is there any way to tell how much ink I have left in my printer?
[07:26] <theDtTvB2> Every time I run google chrome in VMware the whole operating system crashes with message "ata4.01 status { DRDY ERR }"
[07:27] <johnedmiston1956> Hi  I have just downloaded the latest ISO to install and get a 'not valid Cd error' hwen I put in a Cd drive of a machine running Winows XP
[07:27] <samsss> how slow can file sharing in virtualbox be?
[07:27] <Indoctrine> theDtTvB2: That could have something to do with Chrome treating tabs like different processes
[07:27] <theDtTvB2> Uhmm...
[07:27] <faria> i cant play online movies in ubuntu
[07:27] <nate_> Hi, Im having some trouble with download speeds on my bittorrent client. Im using a router (linksys WRT54G) and my client is Deluge. My speed is a T1 Connection, I have seen 2 mb/s dld speeds b4 but now im getting like 10-15
[07:27] <nate_> kb/s
[07:28] <theDtTvB2> Indoctrine: It's strange that it crashes the host operating system. (Ubuntu)
[07:28] <bobertdos> faria: what KINDS of online movies?
[07:28] <bobertdos> johnedmiston1956: Which image did you use and are you sure the disk burned successfully?
[07:29] <faria> http://www.paktvlive.com/
[07:29] <faria> u can chek this site its working on xp good but now here i cant run it
[07:29] <nomingzi> izinucs: how long time you took to compile .tar.gz (VMware Server 2.0) ?
[07:29] <faria> kindly help me to sort out the problem
[07:29] <johnedmiston1956> Latest 8.04  desktop for i-386 and when I burned it i had Nero do a verification
[07:29] <izinucs> nomingzi, about 3 minutes with answering the questions.
[07:30] <Rat409> johnedmiston1956: normally you'd restart computer w cd in cdrom tray
[07:30] <complex_number> I can play a DVD but it's all crazy
[07:30] <complex_number> I can hear the sound
[07:30] <faria> ubuntu is cool os but when i got problem then left this os and join again xp
[07:30] <complex_number> but the picture is garbled
[07:31] <complex_number> I can sort of see the movie
[07:31] <johnedmiston1956> Tried that first...
[07:31] <bastid_raZor> complex_number; that would be copyright protection preventing you from seeing the movie.
[07:31] <complex_number> are you serious?
[07:31] <complex_number> I have libdvdcss though
[07:31] <complex_number> is that part of my hardware?
[07:32] <Joshoo1> bastid_raZor: Couldn't be a codec thing? Wouldn't protection just stop it from being copied not played?
[07:32] <faria> hello can some one help me
[07:32] <bastid_raZor> Joshoo1; if you can play it you can copy it.
[07:32] <complex_number> but it's only a dvd
[07:32] <complex_number> you can play dvds
[07:33] <Joshoo1> bastid_raZor: But then you could logically copy ANY DVD unless you bought one that wasn't playable, which would be pointless
[07:33] <complex_number> with libdvdcss
[07:33] <bastid_raZor> complex_number; Joshoo1 i'll bet you can play the movie in a regular DVD player not on a computer.
[07:33] <Joshoo1> bastid_raZor: Yeah prob
[07:33] <Indoctrine> Is there any way to tell how much ink I have left in my printer?
[07:33] <bobertdos> faria: That site uses ActiveX controls. Basically, you're out of luck in Ubuntu.
[07:33] <faria> whats that means
[07:34] <samsss> help with vbox file sharing too slow...!
[07:34] <bastid_raZor> complex_number; can you test the DVD in a standalone DVD player?
[07:34] <Indoctrine> faria: ActiveX is something Internet Explorer uses
[07:34] <faria> then
[07:34] <technoid_> taria: you could try IE4linux
[07:34] <faria> it means can i go back to xp
[07:34] <Indoctrine> faria: It adds functionality to some pages and can be a nuisance if improperly used
[07:35] <Indoctrine> faria: <bobertdos> faria: That site uses ActiveX controls. Basically, you're out of luck in Ubuntu.
[07:35] <faria> then no solution for that
[07:36] <Indoctrine> faria: Simply because ActiveX is an Internet Explorer thing and there's no IE or any way of getting IE in Ubuntu
[07:36] <nate_> #bittorent
[07:36] <technoid_> faria: i use IE4linux for a website that has activex
[07:36] <technoid_> Indoctrine: check out IE4Linux
[07:36] <faria> but firefox also can play that movies
[07:36] <faria> i use in xp
[07:36] <Indoctrine> technoid_: Not likely. I live fine without IE.
[07:37] <KaRnA> it
[07:37] <bobertdos> faria: That's becuase the latest version of Firefox in Windows now comes with an ActiveX helper.
[07:37] <faria> hmmm
[07:37] <technoid_> While it might not be for you, telling someone that there is no way to run IE on ubuntu isn't correct
[07:37] <faria> technoid_ can u guide me how can i get ie4
[07:37] <Indoctrine> technoid_: I hadn't even heard of it. But it seems oxymoronic to be using IE in Linux
[07:37] <complex_number> The DVD works in a normal DVD player
[07:38] <technoid_> faria: just a moment
[07:38] <complex_number> but it's a bit garbled on my computer
[07:38] <noway> how do i set my wlan0 device to stay alive?
[07:38] <faria> technoid_ok
[07:38] <technoid_> try http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[07:38] <complex_number> oh, now it's working again
[07:38] <bobertdos> complex_number: What player are you using?
[07:38] <complex_number> strange
[07:38] <complex_number> I had to take it out and put it back in again to fix it
[07:38] <complex_number> wtf
[07:39] <faria> ubuntu is new os then it must have new ver of firefox
[07:39] <zenmaster> ok im getting an error trying to install aptana with java can anyone help? i have the log file
[07:39] <Indoctrine> Maybe it doesn't like you, complex_number. ;)
[07:39] <technoid_> indoctrine: my banks go through phases of being compat with ff and not being compat
[07:39] <Indoctrine> faria: Only the Firefox in Windows has the ActiveX helper
[07:39] <complex_number> maybe it's my imaginary imagination
[07:39] <complex_number> or am I the real part
[07:39] <Indoctrine> complex_number: Maybe it's the imaginary number
[07:39] <faria> very bad firefox is the main browser of linux
[07:39] <faria> but it not updates
[07:40] <bobertdos> faria: Yes, it does, but the Ubuntu build will never support ActiveX. That would go against what we believe in.
[07:40] <zenmaster> does anyone have experience here that can help me with aptana java install?
[07:40] <envisean> anyone have experience with ipblock / iplist?
[07:40] <faria> why ubutu get a diffrent track then others
[07:40] <Znow> Hi there! Ive just installed ubuntu with alternative installer on my laptop. When I try to use the update manager, it wont download, but I got the laptop wired to the network... I cant choose another resolution than 800x600, how come?
[07:40] <envisean> zenmaster: can't you just download the source and compile?
[07:40] <Indoctrine> faria: Because Ubuntu has to make sure everything they include is licensed under GNU
[07:40] <faria> ahaan
[07:41] <faria> that good sign
[07:41] <envisean> Znow: i'd try to research resolution & your mobo
[07:41] <Indoctrine> And ActiveX is not licensed under GNU because it's a Windows thing, faria.
[07:41] <zenmaster> envisean:ill check again
[07:41] <Znow> envisean huh?
[07:41] <envisean> Znow: your graphics chipset just probably wsn't recognized and setup properly during installation
[07:41] <Znow> ahhh ok thanks mate ;)
[07:41] <faria> any way if i can run the movie then its ok
[07:41] <Znow> but, whatabout the update manager?
[07:41] <envisean> Znow: np, you can play w/ your X11 settings as well
[07:42] <Indoctrine> Try the IE4Linux thing that technoid_ suggested, faria.
[07:42] <envisean> Znow: apt-get doesn't work?
[07:42] <Znow> I can try
[07:42] <envisean> Znow: i'd give that a shot first
[07:42] <supersized> hello, is Ubuntu the easiest distro of Linux to start learning Linux on ?
[07:42] <envisean> Znow: if you used an alternative installer, who knows what didn't come w/ it
[07:42] <Indoctrine> supersized: It sure is.
[07:42] <envisean> supersized: yes, some would argue so
[07:43] <envisean> supersized: it's easier than windows :)
[07:43] <faria> yes i do
[07:43] <supersized> are there any video tut's out there on Linux that anyone knows of ?
[07:43] <nnull> envisean¬ as long as you dont hit any bumps :P
[07:43] <Indoctrine> envisean: I always use the alt installer and I've never had a problem, it always includes my drivers, which are usually annoying ones
[07:43] <envisean> nnull: haha yes, well if you hit bumps w/ a windows install, good luck :-P
[07:43] <faria> <Indoctrine plz guide me i wana setup my pc as shell server for irc
[07:43] <Znow> translated from danish: "E: could open the lockfile /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 permission denied)
[07:43] <envisean> supersized: google up some ubuntu tutorials
[07:43] <nnull> envisean¬ haha true
[07:43] <Indoctrine> faria: That's beyond what I can do.
[07:44] <faria> hmmm
[07:44] <envisean> supersized: there are more than their fair share on youtube, etc
[07:44] <faria> then who is here able to guide me
[07:44] <envisean> Znow: sudo :)
[07:44] <Joshoo1> supersized: I think there's a site called learnlinux.com or something. There a lot of tutorials out there, but mainly just keep using and it figure it out as you go, and read manuals and guides and hang out in the chat and watch what people talk about to pick stuff up
[07:44] <Indoctrine> faria: I'd suggest you learn a little more about Linux before attempting that.
[07:44] <envisean> Znow: try running it under root first, heh
[07:44] <Joshoo1> supersized: Also, google fosswire linux cheat sheet
[07:44] <CaptainMurphy> Dear anybody
[07:44] <envisean> Znow:  you probably need to do: sudo apt-get update first
[07:44] <Znow> ok thanks
[07:44] <faria> <Indoctrine its true but its confusing
[07:44] <famicom_> ello
[07:44] <faria> but now will try
[07:44] <CaptainMurphy> Does anyone know how to deal with a [errno 5] input output error? during ubuntu install?
[07:44] <famicom_> I'm trying to install ubuntu to my netbook
[07:45] <famicom_> my eeepc 701 to be precise
[07:45] <supersized> I've used windows for about 10 years now and its time for somthing different, I like Ubuntu a lot, learn pretty fast
[07:45] <Indoctrine> faria: Learning is good. =) Make sure to read widely. The Ubuntu Wiki is a good place to start
[07:45] <supersized> been toying around with it for a few days now
[07:45] <Debolaz> Hrmm, the best GUI BitTorrent client I've used in Ubuntu is still uTorrent. Not good. :/
[07:45] <famicom_> right now, im having some trouble with getting the ubuntu installer to run from an usb drive
[07:45] <Znow> now its downloading a package, 189 bytes... but it wont go further... I got 12mbit connection, and I can go on the internet aswelll
[07:45] <Indoctrine> famicom_: Do you have an option for booting from USB drive in your BIOS?
[07:45] <famicom_> could someone perhaps provide me with an up to date guide on using the alternate installer with a usb drive
[07:45] <famicom_> Indoctrine yeah, that all works etc
[07:46] <bobertdos> !usb | famicom_
[07:46] <famicom_> i know all that stuff
[07:46] <famicom_> but i dont want to use the livecd
[07:46] <Indoctrine> What's the problem?
[07:46] <famicom_> but i dont want to use the livecd
[07:46] <famicom_> all i want is a system that boots to cli
[07:46] <Znow> envisean - what could be the problem?
[07:47] <Znow> now the other 2 packages failed to download
[07:47] <Znow> and its trying to get the 3rd release
[07:47] <supersized> thx for the cheat sheet Joshool
[07:47] <supersized> pretty cool reference
[07:47] <famicom> there we go
[07:48] <famicom> anyway, you would think that it would be as simple as copying the files from cdrom to usb, but unfortunately that fucks with cdrom-detect
[07:48] <Indoctrine> famicom: Did you read this bit of the documentation? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Manual%20Approach
[07:49] <famicom> Indoctrine yeah i have
[07:49] <Indoctrine> famicom: This thread also talks about what your issue seems to be: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405008
[07:49] <Znow> envisean, it just fails when trying to download the pacages!!
[07:49] <Znow> it doesnt make progress
[07:49] <CaptainMurphy> Has anyone ever had a problem installing ubuntu
[07:49] <famicom> Znow just download them manually, then install them with DPKG
[07:49] <envisean> Znow: ok, hten you got an internet connection issue :)
[07:49] <bullgard4> In what order does htop list the processes?
[07:50] <CaptainMurphy> where it said [errno 5] input/output error?
[07:50] <envisean> Znow: do you have internet access on that computer yet?
[07:50] <famicom> bullgard4 cpu usages
[07:50] <CaptainMurphy> because this is making me want to shoot myself.
[07:50] <Znow> yes I have
[07:50] <bobertdos> CaptainMurphy: I don't think any of us want to admit that we don't know :p
[07:50] <magnetron> hi. i am trying to use the realtime kernel, but i am dumped into low-graphics mode. i have a nvidia card, please help.
[07:50] <Znow> FireFox got no probs on going on the itnernet
[07:50] <bullgard4> famicom: If you refer to 'CPU%' I cannot confirm your statement.
[07:50] <CaptainMurphy> Znow > How did you solve it?
[07:50] <Znow> Solve what?
[07:51] <famicom> magnetron
[07:51] <famicom> yeah
[07:51] <famicom> you are shit out of luck

[07:51] <famicom> not gonna happen

[07:51] <faria> technoid_plz help ie4
[07:52] <CaptainMurphy> It's not helpful becuase no one solved the problem, everyone who did had some random ass way of getting it tow work.
[07:52] <Znow> envisean from the terminal?
[07:52] <envisean> yes
[07:52] <Indoctrine> CaptainMurphy: Okies... fiddle about? :P
[07:52] <Znow> just a sec
[07:52] <nalioth> ubottu: tell famicon about coc
[07:52] <technoid_> faria: did you look at the instructions for ubuntu?
[07:52] <CaptainMurphy> Im trying a 7.04 CD now
[07:52] <nalioth> ubottu: tell famicon about guidelines
[07:52] <ltracy_> This is what I'm getting from update manager when I try to do an update:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/52360/   .  On advice from here, I closed update manager, ran apt-get update, and then did a check for new updates (in update manager) and I still get the same error.
[07:52] <Beyonder> Good day, I can't play any mp3's (no other audio to test here) but flash player plays ok (youtube and so on), what can be the problem?
[07:52] <faria> yes
[07:52] <nnull> technoid_¬ when do men look at intructions for things
[07:52] <CaptainMurphy> I just tried a 7.10, failed at 25% right on scedual like the 8.10s did
[07:52] <nnull> you gota go in fail and then read
[07:52] <Indoctrine> Beyonder: Do you have the restricted extras package selected?
[07:53] <Znow> envisean - yes I get an respons
[07:53] <Znow> 64 bytes bla bla bla
[07:53] <envisean> Znow: ok, then try to run sudo apt-get update
[07:53] <technoid_> nnull: i was just wondering where we were at in the "i can't get this to work..." pattern
[07:53] <Beyonder> Indoctrine: well, I was trying to fix it myself and I did install some restricted packages
[07:53] <envisean> Znow: if that doesn't work, install sources manually
[07:53] <Beyonder> Indoctrine: can you tell the names to check?
[07:53] <Indoctrine> Beyonder: Can you type into a terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[07:53] <bobertdos> Beyonder: Have you installed all the gstreamer codecs? Actually, ubuntu-restricted-extras is a good way to do it.
[07:53] <technoid_> faria: did you follow the instructions?
[07:53] <CaptainMurphy> At this point I want to go to another user friendly distro but I don' tknow what, Ive only work with ubuntu really and xbuntu
[07:53] <faria> If you want to install Internet Explorer on your Linux desktop, you must have a valid Microsoft Windows license, otherwise installing Internet Explorer is illegal.
[07:54] <Znow> envisean - how do I do that?
[07:54] <technoid_> faria: do you have a windows license?
[07:54] <faria> no
[07:54] <jim_p> i have made a list of files to be downloaded with the use of the "wget -i list.txt" option and on the top line of the file i have put this comment >> ## this is a list for downloads with wget. why does wget read this line although its commented out?
[07:54] <Beyonder> Indoctrine, bobertdos, thanks, doing it right away
[07:54] <bobertdos> faria: You don't have a Windows activation key?
[07:54] <Ishn1> WHAT? Internet Explorer on linux?
[07:55] <technoid_> so then how would you go back to XP?
[07:55] <Indoctrine> Beyonder: Np, let me know if there's still problems?
[07:55] <technoid_> ishn: yes, using IE4Linux
[07:55] <faria> oh thats i have
[07:55] <envisean> Znow: did you get my PM?
[07:55] <Indoctrine> faria: Is your Windows XP a legal copy? If so, you have a license.
[07:55] <ltracy_> jim_p, maybe # isn't a comment according to wget
[07:55] <Ishn1> Why would you want IE?
[07:55] <Znow> yes 2 sec
[07:56] <technoid_> lshn1: some banks...and quickbooksonline
[07:56] <Beyonder> Ishn1: web developing for instance
[07:56] <faria> i thought maybe its some kind of driving liecense
[07:56] <Ishn1> hmm
[07:56] <bobertdos> Ishn1: because of activex controls *barf*
[07:56] <faria> hheheheh
[07:56] <ltracy_> This is what I'm getting from update manager when I try to do an update: (at http://paste.ubuntu.com/52360/) .  On advice from here, I closed update manager, ran apt-get update, and then did a check for new updates (in update manager) and I still get the same error.
[07:56] <jim_p> ltracy_: obviously! how do i comment it out?
[07:56] <ltracy_> jim_p, why do you need the line?
[07:57] <ltracy_> jim_p, I would tell you, but I don't know :)
[07:57] <KaRnA> hi
[07:57] <KaRnA> is there any tool for ubuntu like ultrasurf???
[07:57] <bastid_raZor> jim_p; you can comment lines by putting a # at the beginning
[07:57] <technoid_> faria: you should be able to follow the ubuntu instructions on that site.  Remember to change the edgey reference to what ever version you are running,
[07:57] <jim_p> ltracy_: i need to use other commented lines too. for the times that i dont have time for all the downloads to complete
[07:57] <faria> ok'
[07:57] <Beyonder> Indoctrine: ok, i've installed it, but still Rythmbox wont play the mp3s...
[07:57] <jim_p> bastid_raZor: it doesnt work either
[07:58] <technoid_> faria: are you running 8.04?
[07:58] <Indoctrine> KaRnA: Is TorK anything like what you mean?
[07:58] <ltracy_> jim_p, sorry I can't help
[07:58] <jim_p> ltracy_: its ok
[07:58] <KaRnA> Indoctrine: yes, i want to open blocked websites
[07:58] <Clutz> izinucs: generic 21" monitor
[07:58] <Indoctrine> Beyonder: Just out of interest here, do you have Kopete or another instant messenger to grab music info?
[07:59] <Indoctrine> *set to
[07:59] <Beyonder> Indoctrine: no
[07:59] <bastid_raZor> jim_p; oh, i read your question. wget doesn't work like that. you'll need a script to actually determine which to get and not to get.
[07:59] <Indoctrine> Beyonder: I'm not sure. Try restarting alsa.
[08:00] <Beyonder> Indoctrine: hmm... may i ask how?
[08:00] <jim_p> bastid_raZor: script for what? for downloading a list of files??? "wget -i list.txt" works fine for it
[08:00] <ltracy_> jim_p, I think it wants an html file.  Try using html comments?
[08:00] <Indoctrine> Beyonder: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[08:00] <ltracy_> jim_p, well, make it valid html and then add html comments :)
[08:01] <jim_p> ltracy_: how are html comments? <~-- ?
[08:01] <bastid_raZor> jim_p; okay, then don't put a file in the .txt file you don't want downloaded.
