[08:37] <poop> ok so i sudo apt-get install linux-k7 linux-headers-k7 then i reboot but when i type uname -a i still come up running the generic kernel how to i switch to my faster k7 kernel ubuntu 8.04 LTS
[08:37] <Shujah> chriswr, if the problem surtfaces again you might kill the pulseaudio and hopefully it'll work
[08:37] <Mr_Bad_News> i closed the window and i cant find it bazhang
[08:37] <ganes1>  tech0007:i just installed ubuntu and to lan with vista i need samba..
[08:38] <Don64> MatthewV: look at [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/5b3dzd.png[/IMG]
[08:38] <Mr_Bad_News> its red icon package from gnome-look.org
[08:38] <bazhang> Mr_Bad_News, what is the theme name
[08:38] <Mr_Bad_News> red icons
[08:38] <poop> sorry for bad english i speak mainly japanese
[08:38] <chriswr> shujah: ok i just hope that doesnt happen
[08:38] <bazhang> poop, the generic will give fast response
[08:38] <bob3213243> is there a way to test my LAN speed in ubuntu?
[08:39] <ganes1> tech0007:i downloaded samba frm somewhere. cant i install directly?
[08:39] <poop> bazhang I am not a generic type of guy here
[08:39] <tech0007> ganes1: download it from packages.ubuntu.com
[08:39] <bob3213243_> is there a way to test my LAN speed in ubuntu?
[08:39] <bazhang> poop, you want the ubuntu-jp channel?
[08:39] <MatthewV> Don64, did this happen after playing a game or something like that? you should be able to fix it by right clicking on the panel icons that you want to move and choosing move (unlocking from panel if necessary) and just dragging the desktop icons to where they should be
[08:39] <ra21vi> hi, a sample condition is, my ant tasks envokes shell script which test whether the another ant script is executing propertly. shell script also installs and configures jdk and ant.. so is there anyway i can use multiple ant and jdk...
[08:39] <tech0007> ganes1: make sure you pick the ubuntu version you have
[08:39] <ra21vi> seems, my question is confusing..
[08:40] <poop> i just want to know what the boot files there are and the japanese channel is dead right now
[08:40] <Don64> no game. just rebooting after installing 8.04
[08:40] <poop> and what files to edit to call them at boot and all
[08:40] <Don64>  the poblem is the screen in the apps are squished too
[08:40] <Mr_Bad_News> http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=3&id=57433&file1=57433-1.jpg&file2=57433-2.jpg&file3=57433-3.jpg&name=H-K+suite+gtk2&PHPSESSID=2aa84948a711a9f554dc68c42ad5a83d
[08:41] <MatthewV> Don64, oh that's strange... I'd just move them back the way i described above, and hope it doesn't happen again... you could lock them all to the panel after you've moved them
[08:41] <Don64> like web broser, ect
[08:41] <poop> ok so i sudo apt-get install linux-k7 linux-headers-k7 then i reboot but when i type uname -a i still come up running the generic kernel how to i switch to my faster k7 kernel ubuntu 8.04 LTS
[08:41] <Mr_Bad_News> what is the name of that theme or how do i get it to look like that
[08:41] <bazhang> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Red+Icons+for+GNU%2BLinux?content=84396 Mr_Bad_News this?
[08:41] <MatthewV> Don64, do you know what your screen's native resolution is?
[08:41] <Mr_Bad_News> yea bazhang
[08:41] <bazhang> Mr_Bad_News, let me try
[08:41] <Don64> moving them isn'e the "real" problem, just a symptom
[08:43] <Don64> it happened once or twice with the last version of ubuntu.  I would reboot or do the cntrl alt back space and it usually work great from then on
[08:43] <poop> I am trying to tweak it to performance for pure fun and i am lost as to what the boot files are and all
[08:43] <DistroJockey> Don64, so you are saying that the screenshot you gave does not fit the whole display area correct?
[08:43] <ganes1>  tech0007:there is samba common of just 2.7 mb..is it fine?
[08:43] <levander> I remember there was some talk about implementing restore points in Ubuntu.  Did that ever get done?
[08:43] <Resnick> Does anyone know of a decent video editor for Linux/Ubuntu? Diva-Project.org is not around any more sadly and that looked so promising.
[08:43] <MatthewV> Don64, are you running at your screen's native resolution then? you're currently at 1280x768...
[08:44] <Don64> yes it does!!!  part of the display within the area is not right
[08:44] <nyquistaries> hallo
[08:44] <tech0007> ganes1: are you on hardy
[08:44] <ganes1> yes
[08:44] <levander> Resnick: #ubuntu-studio?
[08:45] <Don64> it fits the panels themselves ok,  not the trash can speaker and on button
[08:45] <ganes1>  tech0007:yes
[08:45] <Resnick> levander: Sorry. I didn't realise there were more channels. Thank you!
[08:45] <nyquistaries> ubuntu
[08:45] <levander> Resnick: It was just a suggestion for you to find an answer.  I wasn't complaining about off-topic.
[08:45] <Don64> the icons isn't the real problem, just a symptom
[08:46] <chriswr> anyone know were a good tutorial of the program medusa would be located at
[08:46] <levander> Resnick: You find an answer, please PM me.  I'm interested in that too.
[08:46] <Resnick> levander: No worries. I didn't take it that way at all.
[08:46] <tech0007> ganes1: samba-common and the rest of the depends
[08:46] <Don64> when i open an app the app area is suished between the trash can icon and the left side of screen
[08:47] <DistroJockey> Don64, and did you try right-clicking each icon in turn (make sure it is not locked) then click Move and move the mouse to the right with out holding any buttons?
[08:47] <Don64> when i open an app the app area is suished between the trash can icon and the left side of screen
[08:47] <DistroJockey> Don64, ahh, I see what you mean
[08:47] <gaelfx> ok, I'm using Network Tools to try to configure my PPPoE connection, and when I click configure the auth dialog pops up, then it says the connection does not exist....can anyone help me?
[08:47] <MatthewV> Don64, dont worry, i get that, but i'm having trouble understanding exactly what the problem is... so even when maximised apps dont take up the whole screen?
[08:47] <Lusule> hello all - anyone able to recommend a music player that will allow me to use my ipod?
[08:47] <davidrawson91> armorok
[08:47] <davidrawson91> i'd think
[08:47] <davidrawson91> not for iphone or itouch without being jailbroken though
[08:48] <MatthewV> Lusule, banshee or maybe rhythmbox in ubuntu, amarok for kubuntu
[08:48] <sepehr_> does reconstructor work on ubuntu 8.4 hardy/
[08:48] <davidrawson91> ah
[08:48] <sepehr_> ??
[08:48] <gaelfx> ps, it's the same for my eth0 :S
[08:48] <Don64> yes they do but eh images are the field of veiw within the app is squished
[08:48] <Lusule> thanks both of you, i have ubuntu atm, not kubuntu, and just plain ipod, nothing fancy
[08:48] <sepehr_> does reconstructor work on ubuntu 8.4 hardy?
[08:48] <gaelfx> Lusule: you can use Amarok in Ubuntu as well, it works pretty well
[08:49] <DJones> !ipod | Lusule (I think this is the right factoid, this maybe of use to you as well),
[08:49] <chriswr> lol
[08:49] <DJones> !ipod | Lusule
[08:49] <Lusule> i'm gonna have to learn how to use those bot factoids...
[08:49] <Don64> when i use the resolution it does not detect the monitor now.
[08:49] <DistroJockey> Don64, I'd initially make a backup of your  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and then try a   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[08:50] <leeyee> Hi guys, i wanna to print a file in gvim with line number, anybody knows how?
[08:50] <ganes1> tech0007:how to connect to vista using LAN cable?
[08:51] <davidrawson91> samba
[08:51] <davidrawson91> to ganes1
[08:51] <davidrawson91> i'd think
[08:51] <chriswr> is there any mesh making programs for linux?
[08:51] <Don64> [IMG]http://i37.tinypic.com/2yo4ozq.png[/IMG]
[08:51] <davidrawson91> as in 3D?
[08:51] <chriswr> yes
[08:51] <davidrawson91> wings
[08:51] <leeyee> Hi guys, i wanna to print a file in gvim with line number, anybody knows how?
[08:51] <Don64> that is the s resolution screen shot if it helps
[08:51] <MatthewV> davidrawson91, try not to use the enter key as punctuation - keep it all on one line ;)
[08:51] <davidrawson91> blender
[08:51] <davidrawson91> oh
[08:51] <davidrawson91> okay, i know what you mean now
[08:51] <sepehr_> does reconstructor work on ubuntu 8.4 hardy?
[08:52] <sepehr_> nobody knows?
[08:52] <chriswr> 3dsmax?
[08:52] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, I get the same error as you with that icon theme dragging and dropping the .tar.gz .  Looks to be broken, try a different one.
[08:52] <Shujah> Don64, you have any graphic card?
[08:53] <Mr_Bad_News> i installed the h-k install deb suite
[08:53] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i apply it
[08:53] <Mr_Bad_News> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/H-K+suite+gtk2?content=57433
[08:53] <Shujah> Mr_Bad_News, go to menu > sys > pref > appearences
[08:53] <Mr_Bad_News> im already there
[08:53] <Don64> yes, 4X nvidia gforce 2
[08:54] <Shujah> Don64, go to menu > sys > admin > hardware drivers see if nvidia is selected
[08:54] <Lusule> next question:  i was under the impression i need a separate root login from my normal user login, but Ubuntu install just gave me the one login.  Do I need to seperate them and how do I do it?
[08:54] <MatthewV> !sudo | Lusule
[08:54] <davidrawson91> how do you play portal on ubuntu
[08:54] <davidrawson91> or half life
[08:55] <^^co-pgnn> ^^co-pgnn
[08:55] <Flannel> Lusule: You don't.  The root account is locked, you don't use it in Ubuntu.  (sudo is used instead, like the factoid says)
[08:55] <Shujah> Mr_Bad_News, go to menu > sys > pref > appearences > should be here if installed properly
[08:55] <Lusule> aha thanks people :)
[08:55] <Mr_Bad_News> its not
[08:55] <gaelfx> Flannel: can you still sudo su to bypass that?
[08:56] <Flannel> gaelfx: bypass what?
[08:56] <Flannel> gaelfx: If you want a root terminal, you can use `sudo -i`
[08:56] <alf> #ubuntu-hispano
[08:56] <Shujah> Mr_Bad_News, go to menu > sys > pref > appearences > customize > window border > check here
[08:56] <Don64> Shujah : yes it is selected.  only driver to chose
[08:56] <gaelfx> Flannel: I mean not being able to boot into root, but nevermind, it doesn't really matter
[08:56] <Mr_Bad_News> its not in preferences
[08:56] <Shujah> Don64, download nvidia-settings from synaptic
[08:57] <Flannel> gaelfx: Single user mode?
[08:57] <alf> hola el canal ubuntu español o hispano cual es po favor?
[08:57] <Flannel> !es | alf
[08:57] <gaelfx> Flannel: something like that, it was more a question of curiosity than an actual concern
[08:57] <ganes1> davidrawson91:i installed sabma ..how to check whether its proper or not? then next how to connect to vista?
[08:58] <Flannel> gaelfx: Single user mode (init 1) is the "recovery console" option at GRUB
[08:58] <extripator> hmm it seems that i can't get a stable connection while using ubuntu
[08:58] <gaelfx> Flannel: gotcha, good to know
[08:58] <extripator> i get that my wireless is 20-80%
[08:58] <MatthewV> gaelfx, i think you're supposed to use sudo -s if you really really really need a root console ;)
[08:58] <gaelfx> ok, I'm using Network Tools to try to configure my PPPoE connection, and when I click configure the auth dialog pops up, then it says the connection does not exist....can anyone help me?
[08:59] <ReAn[Laptop]> !audio
[08:59] <gaelfx> MatthewV: yeah, I'll do the old man thing some day and remember something useful about sudo one of these days
[08:59] <wangor> sorry, how can I create a launcher that will launch a program with root privileges ? I tried putting "sudo gedit" in command field, but the launcher doesn't do anything at all
[08:59] <rokra> Hi
[08:59] <rokra> is there a soft to configure the sound 5.1 ?
[08:59] <unop> wangor, gksudo gedit
[09:00] <wangor> unop: thx
[09:00] <MatthewV> rokra, system sound or for a certain piece of software?
[09:01] <chriswr> anyone know if maya 8.5 is good with wine?
[09:01] <Monona> Hey all, I'm having some very basic PHP trouble: When I save a file as *.php, then try to open it in Firefox, FF gives me a download prompt. As far as I can tell, I have all the proper libraries and dependencies installed.
[09:01] <bazhang> chriswr, check the appdb
[09:01] <chriswr> ok
[09:02] <MatthewV> chriswr, try taking a look at http://appdb.winehq.org/
[09:02] <wwapintar886> What does z mean? http://vivisection.dontexist.com/main/sexytime/Untitled.jpg
[09:03] <alf> #ubuntu-es
[09:03] <Don64> Shujah: ok downloaded now what?
[09:03] <ubuntu0987> is it just my usual bad luck or does the new live cd only mount things as read only[usb drives that is]
[09:04] <Flannel> alf: /join #ubuntu-es
[09:04] <chriswr> matthewv: just did , its garbage
[09:04] <davidrawson91> i hate the little ntfs issue where it gets locked and refuses to mount under normal circumstances
[09:04] <MatthewV> chriswr, the answer is probably not then ;)
[09:04] <davidrawson91> and you have to force it
[09:04] <chriswr> lol
[09:05] <ubuntu0987> im trying to purge a corrupted install of rockbox off of my e270 and im getting errors in windows cause of file names with "." in the front, and the live cd/wubi install i have say its read only
[09:05] <Don64> Shujah: Idownloaded nvidia-settings from synaptic now what should i do?
[09:05] <ubuntu0987> and i cant go back to the fischer price origional firmware, nor can i return the player
[09:06] <ubuntu0987> i keep getting read only errors
[09:06] <Shujah_> Don64, alt+f2 type nvidia-settings enter
[09:06] <chriswr> what is blackbox?
[09:06] <Lusule> so the amarok in the package manager should work even though it says its for kde?
[09:06] <davidrawson91> no, type "eat-my-shorts"
[09:06] <gaelfx> can someone help me fix my slow internet connection? it's running at 1/10th what it should
[09:07] <gaelfx> Lusule: yes, it will install everything it needs to work
[09:07] <bazhang> davidrawson91, not here
[09:07] <Lusule> thanks :)
[09:07] <gaelfx> Lusule: no problem, I'm using Ubuntu with Amarok also, so don't worry, it should be ok
[09:08] <ubuntu0987> rm: cannot remove `/media/Sansa e270/.rockbox/langs/italiano.lng': Read-only file system
[09:08] <ubuntu0987> wtf?
[09:08] <DistroJockey> gaelfx, how are you determining that it's running at 1/10th?
[09:08] <Don64> Shujah_ : Ok it is running
[09:08] <ikonia> ubuntu0987: wtf is a phrase we can do without seeing please, we all know what it means, so it's inappropriate
[09:08] <Shujah_> Don64, open nvidia-settings go to display - detect and select display then apply and save it to xserver (dont merge, save)
[09:09] <evilbug> how can i safely install xfce (hardy)?
[09:09] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: my bad. its somewhat late and i have a lot on my mind lately, so my thought process si somewhat clouded.
[09:09] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: compared to what it normally runs at in Windows
[09:09] <ikonia> ubuntu0987: I suggest taking a break until you are more awake then
[09:09] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: also, once in a blue moon, it works properly in Hardy, but I can't figure out how to reproduce that state
[09:10] <ikonia> gaelfx: I'm glad the reboot resolved you issue. A most odd problem
[09:10] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: i only meant to try and express how vexing this is for me, that i cannot delete the directory or ovverride it
[09:10] <gaelfx> ikonia: yeah, sorry to bug you about it, but it had me a little worried. Thanks for remembering!
[09:10] <Don64> Shujah_ OK now what should i do
[09:10] <wangor> sorry, can you name any piece of software on ubuntu, that can download whole web page (html's, images, flashes etc) along with the linked pages that site provides ?
[09:10] <ikonia> gaelfx: not at all, good to know it worked out
[09:10] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: i am very much awake, caffeine and chronic insomnia do that to you[along with stress]
[09:11] <havoc_> hello?
[09:11] <bazhang> hi havoc_
[09:11] <havoc_> Can anyone help me with getting a driver for my wireless card?
[09:11] <JuzzyD> Good afternoon folks,  Im hoping someone can point me in the right direction for the conversion of divx encoded files to xvid encoded.
[09:11] <Shujah_> Don64, have you detected and applied a resolution - save it to xserver , dont merge. then reboot and check
[09:11] <ikonia> ubuntu0987: if your very much awake, don't use being tired an excuse for your bad language, just don't use it
[09:11] <Don64> b right back
[09:11] <DistroJockey> gaelfx, are you timing downloads you have done on both OS's or using a tool to measure it or something else?
[09:11] <zeeeee> can i prevent rhythmbox from popping up every time i insert an audio cd?
[09:11] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: im saying that though im awake enough to think, i cant think well due to split attention on multiple other matters
[09:12] <rajiv_nair> #smc-project
[09:12] <rajiv_nair> exit
[09:12] <Shujah_> zeeeee, go to nautlis> edit > pref > media and change it
[09:12] <MatthewV> wangor, wget might be able to do that... other than that, i don't know
[09:12] <ikonia> ubuntu0987: then come back when you can concentrate enough to follow the ubuntu code of conduct
[09:12] <ubuntu0987> ikonia: i dont want ot start a fight about it though. my personal issues need to stay that way.
[09:12] <wangor> MatthewV: ok, thanks
[09:12] <zeeeee> Shujah_, thanks!
[09:12] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: well, uTorrent uploads at 1/10th what it should, so that's where the number comes from. Pidgin and Skype are constantly disconnecting and webpages load a lot slower
[09:13] <ubuntu0987> w/e
[09:13] <bazhang> gaelfx, this is torrents then?
[09:13] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: also, Network Tools won't let me configure my pppo or eth0 connections, it says the interface does not exist
[09:13] <gaelfx> bazhang: not just torrents, everything is slower
[09:13] <DistroJockey> gaelfx, ahh. 8.04 or 8.04.1 or something earlier?
[09:13] <gaelfx> bazhang: I just don't have numbers for the other stuff
[09:13] <JuzzyD> I  believe the solution involves mencoder, but im not exactly sure how to use it?
[09:13] <bazhang> gaelfx, you should have mentioned that a long time ago
[09:14] <Bollinger> Im trying to setup SSL security using CACert. I think I've installed their server certificate but I'm not sure, as firefox3 comes up with an error when looking at https://secure.cacert.org. Could a kind soul look at that site using firefox 3 and tell what they see
[09:14] <gaelfx> DistroJockey: 8.04
[09:14] <gaelfx> bazhang: which thing are you referring to?
[09:14] <gnomefreak> compiz enabled?
[09:14] <davidrawson91> i like pokemon
[09:15] <Flannel> davidrawson91: We'd love to hear about it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:15] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i make avant on top?
[09:15] <ikonia> Bollinger: it's n untrusted cert
[09:15] <gnomefreak> davidrawson91: they love pokemon topics   in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:15] <ikonia> Bollinger: just checked the site
[09:15] <bazhang> gaelfx, the 1/10th bit
[09:15] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: There's an option in the AWN config
[09:15] <Mr_Bad_News> im there Flannel where is it?
[09:15] <gaelfx> bazhang: sorry, I've never been good at asking for help :P
[09:15] <Illarane> Hiya, I'm having much fun trying to get 1680x1050 working on my 8.whateveritis box.  The graphics chipset is an SiS 65x series abortion and the screen is a Dell 2007WFP.  Changes I put in xorg.conf don't generally effect, other than to break it. ;)  It's incorrectly detecting the screen, and is saying that its maximum resolution is 1280x1024 with 1680x1050 preferred. :)  Anyone got any ideas?
[09:15] <Bollinger> ikonia: but the https site rendered something (not an error message)   If so I must have broken my firefox install... Many thanks
[09:16] <Flannel> Mr_Bad_News: Its a checkbox.  I don't know.  I've seen it though.
[09:16] <abju> heloo
[09:16] <ikonia> Bollinger: I just get an untrusted certificate warning, would I like to add an exception
[09:16] <ganesh> how to check whether samba which i installed is proper?
[09:16] <Mr_Bad_News> im not seeing it anywhere
[09:16] <JuzzyD> So no one at all has any idea how to convert divx to xvid?
[09:16] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: everything except your network config can be caused by compiz being enabled
[09:16] <ikonia> JuzzyD: mencoder
[09:16] <MatthewV> !resolution | Illarane
[09:16] <ikonia> JuzzyD: isn't xvid actually the divx codec ?
[09:16] <wols> ikonia: not quite
[09:16] <gaelfx> gnomefreak: really? how do you know that?
[09:16] <bora> hi everybody
[09:17] <wols> it's another implementation of mpeg4 like divx is as well
[09:17] <MatthewV> ikonia, both are different mpeg4 codecs iirc
[09:17] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: because i used to use nad work on it
[09:17] <bora> I install Ubuntu
[09:17] <ikonia> wols: MatthewV  thank you
[09:17] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, If you don't have it, you need this also:   awn-manager
[09:17] <havoc_> >
[09:17] <havoc_> Can anyone help me with getting a driver for my wireless card?
[09:17] <JuzzyD> Yep, slightly different, and this piece of crap mp4 player likes xvid only by the looks of things
[09:17] <Mr_Bad_News> im in the awm-manager DistroJockey
[09:17] <bora> and I have a some question about vmware server setup
[09:17] <wols> havoc_: what wireless chip do you have?
[09:17] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: try disabling it to see if anything clears up
[09:17] <havoc_> hm
[09:17] <havoc_> I dunno
[09:17] <Illarane> MatthewV: Already read it, doesn't help.
[09:17] <ikonia> JuzzyD: mencoder should still be able to do it then, as long as you have both codecs installed
[09:17] <bazhang> havoc_, what chipset (lspci in terminal, just the one line)
[09:17] <wols> havoc_: lspci

[09:23] <wols> ganesh: do you want ubuntu be the client or server?
[09:23] <_jdd_> chriswr: probably a problem with the flash plugin. i get the impression that it's notoriously buggy.
[09:24] <robeph> whew... ok
[09:24] <wols> Illarane: remove all res' and color depths you don't want and the try to start X. when you got a problem patebin the Xorg.0.log

[09:26] <mankoz> I have created a new user with smbpasswd and I have started the demon
[09:26] <Shujah_> Don64, and maximum resolution you get 1440x900?
[09:26] <mankoz>  but it is still not possible to access my shared folders
[09:26] <Vegombrei> on that issue .. can someone help me configure samba so my pc would show up on a wifi network for file sharing ?
[09:26] <mankoz> do you know why?
[09:26] <gaelfx> gnomefreak: that seems to have done the trick, great job man
[09:26] <Kartagis> mankoz: #samba might know
[09:26] <gnomefreak> gaelfx: np
[09:27] <Don64> Shujah_: no 1280 x 768

[09:27] <mankoz> there is no one in #samba

[09:28] <Lusule> question:  if i want to take some room from my windows data partition so i can create an ubuntu data area, what program do i use to do this?
[09:28] <DistroJockey> Don64, it's probably something like EDID in your  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  . That's one of the reasons why I initially suggested backing up that file and running   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:28] <_jdd_> andrewcool:  second post in this thread may help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143945

[09:31] <MohammadBoozary> I use Ubuntu 8.04, how do i can connecting remotely to ssh ?
[09:31] <xorand> MohammadBoozary, use putty
[09:31] <Don64> i'm trying to reset the res thru server setting insted of the panel  be right back
[09:31] <andrewcool> @_jdd_ didn't work
[09:31] <dasy2k1> @MohammadBoozary have you got oppenssh installed from synaptic?
[09:31] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: I would, but I have never used samba
[09:32] <joshual_> bazhang: I thought I did, but doesn't seem to work
[09:32] <Illarane> DistroJockey: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg just blanks the config for me. :)
[09:32] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: but I bet there are people here who have
[09:32] <DistroJockey> joshual_, by default it is   shift+alt+up arrow
[09:32] <_jdd_> andrewcool: could you pastebin the output of the commands? i.e. what you typed in the terminal, and it's response?
[09:32] <DistroJockey> Illarane, totally blank?
[09:32] <joshual_> DistroJockey: right, but nothing seems to happen
[09:33] <balle_> what is the code for mounting an external HDD?
[09:33] <mankoz> sorry I was on cell
[09:33] <DistroJockey> joshual_, other affects are working?
[09:33] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: but hey, since my problem just got solved, I'll give it a look right now
[09:33] <Illarane> DistroJockey: Oh, no.  Got all the required sections, but they've only got labels on them. :)  And it changed my keyboard to Wrong. >: (
[09:33] <mankoz> udo smbpasswd -L -e (username you want to add)
[09:33] <dasy2k1> @balle_ sudo mount /dev/sdxx /mountpoint
[09:33] <MatthewV> balle_, if you need to mount manually,usually sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdx /path/to/mount/point
[09:33] <_jdd_> andrewcool: by the way, if you highlight the text in the terminal, you should be able to paste it into pastebin with the middle mouse button
[09:33] <mankoz> is a necessary step?
[09:33] <MohammadBoozary> dasy2k1, yes, i install ssh openssh-server openssh-client openssh-blacklist
[09:33] <Lusule> anyone able to help me with taking some free space for a new partition?
[09:33] <DistroJockey> Illarane, yep, that's fairly normal :)
[09:33] <havoc_> wols: Hi I tried ndiswrapper
[09:33] <silvaferna> hello
[09:34] <Illarane> Totally useless in my case. ;)

[09:34] <DistroJockey> Illarane, yeah, I guess so
[09:34] <havoc_> wols: but I don't think it connected
[09:34] <MatthewV> balle_, well.. external hard drives and the like are usually mounted automatically when you plug them in
[09:34] <dasy2k1> @MohammadBoozary to ssh form your machine to somwhere else just type ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:34] <joshual_> DistroJockey: ahhh... no :( crap... somethings going on... I'm getting "Desktop effects could not be enabled" on all my accounts now gaelfx

[09:37] <dasy2k1> @MohammadBoozary  right, the thing you will want is somthing like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:37] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: any luck ?
[09:37] <Illarane> edidfail indeed. :(
[09:37] <JuzzyD> Fantastic thankyou. I've found the mencoder options
[09:37] <xorand> MohammadBoozary, i thought you wanted to connect via ssh.  For that, putty is a good tool.  Configure your computer (if it has a static IP) to accept incoming ssh connections
[09:37] <Kartagis> MohammadBoozary: to have an e-mail address like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>simply create a user boozary
[09:37] <MohammadBoozary> dasy2k1, whay is machine name ?

[09:38] <Rolcol> I reinstalled Ubuntu and I don't remember where I can change the alt+mousedrag to move windows to super+mousedrag.  Can someone help?
[09:38] <JuzzyD> I may have to whip up a python script once I get this right I think. It would be nicer to have a nice little interface instead of typing all those options all the time.
[09:38] <Illarane> The screen seems to load up in 1280x1024 fine (though squished) and I've manually changed it to 1280x768 when I log in (can't figure out how to make GDM accept that, though).
[09:38] <gaelfx> Vegombrei: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/118877-samba-hardy.html try this, but I suggest backing up smb.conf first
[09:38] <Illarane> But it can go up to 1680x1050, ad looks pants in 1280x768. :p
[09:38] <ronin12345> I'm thinking about running windows in virtual box. can I set it up so that one of my workspaces is always windows?

[09:48]  * Illarane salutes the thought police and drops the subject.
[09:48] <DistroJockey> havocstorm, nope
[09:48] <Lusule> i've just realised that ubuntu installed itself on the wrong drive without me realising - is there anyway to move it or do i have to wipe and start again?
[09:48] <balle_> how do i get ubuntu to reacognize my external HDD on fat 32 fdisk -l shows nothing of it sadly
[09:49]  * Illarane tries to find out how to cut DDC from the heart of Xorg and still leave it alive.
[09:49] <ikonia> Illarane: please don't take that stance, #ubuntu is just a busy support channel, and your offtopic comments, especially random ones talking about linux vista 4, confused it and detract from it
[09:49] <DistroJockey> havocstorm, mine looks like:   <IP_ADDRESS>       ubuntu.home.gateway     ubuntu
[09:49] <andrewcool> @_jdd_ did you get the link?
[09:49] <havocstorm> DistroJockey, Do I change my settings to yours?
[09:50] <DistroJockey> havocstorm, I may be wrong. Maybe someone else might like to check?
[09:50] <havocstorm> ok, thanks
[09:50] <anolis> how do i install the b43legacy driver?
[09:50] <DistroJockey> havocstorm, my hostname is  ubuntu  and  home.gateway  is the domain
[09:50] <_jdd_> andrewcool: yes. i assume you don't have the icons for harddisks on the desktop that you can right-click. I'm looking around to see if I can figure out what's going on
[09:51] <KK> #azingo
[09:51] <andrewcool> @_jdd_ hmm..I am going to try some other stuff, ok?
[09:51] <_jdd_> andrewcool: sure. i'm kinda stumped anyhow.
[09:51] <DistroJockey> havocstorm, so you successfully used  gksu gedit /etc/hosts  right?
[09:51] <andrewcool> ok
[09:51] <Lusule> anyone able to help with partition/install problems?
[09:52] <balle_> how do i get ubuntu to reacognize my external HDD on fat 32 fdisk -l shows nothing of it sadly
[09:53] <DistroJockey> balle_, you will need to use   sudo fdisk -l
[09:53] <negge^> Lusule: just ask
[09:53] <dasy2k1> @balle_ when you plug it in what does dmsg show
[09:53] <balle_> Distrojockey: i did that
[09:53] <balle_> dasy2k1: what is dmsg?
[09:53] <Bob1nz> hey im having trouble with flash in all browsers am using ubuntu 8.04 64bit with version 9 flashplugin the problem is that the video plays fine until my mouse goes over it then it just dissapears have tried version10beta but still same issue?
[09:53] <DistroJockey> balle_, with sudo ? Are you sure?
[09:53] <_jdd_> !dmesg balle_
[09:54] <negge^> !dmesg | balle_
[09:54] <_jdd_> !dmesg | balle_
[09:54] <negge^> balle_: does it show nothing or just nothing about the HDD in question=
[09:54] <_jdd_> balle_: it shows the last few system messages, stuff like usb devices being plugged in.
[09:54] <gaelfx> does anyone know the best way to petition NVidia for OS drivers?
[09:55] <balle_> _jdd_: it shows everything about my computer...
[09:55] <_jdd_> balle_: "dmesg | tail" will give you the last few messages. plug it in and then check / pastebin the output of that
[09:56] <Don64> DistroJockey:  that didn't work either.
[09:56] <lobaman> i have problem in repositories for 8.04. any complete guide on how to change my repositories?
[09:56] <balle_> _jdd_: nothing but bluetooth stuff and my wireless connection...
[09:56] <lobaman> i want to install mysql-server. but i have this error. E: Couldn't find package mysql-server-5.0
[09:56] <lobaman> im on 8.04 ubuntu
[09:57] <Hunter`-> balle_: is the usb hdd power oN? :>
[09:57] <balle_> hunter: yes it is, thx for asking ;)
[09:57] <DistroJockey> Don64, :( can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file please?  The following should do it:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit
[09:57] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i edit conky's position?
[09:57] <Hunter`-> balle_: does "lsusb" show anything?

[09:58] <balle_> hunter:sec i check
[09:58] <Don64> ok

[10:00] <Hunter`-> balle_: mh, tried a different usb port? tried the hdd on another pc, etc?
[10:01] <balle_> hunter'-: just got that idea, different usb port is testing now, other pc and this has work (this one on windows though)
[10:01] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, see   man conky

[10:02] <eth01> ben :)
[10:02] <Don64> DistroJockey: not using the nvidia-settings program
[10:02] <lobaman> here is the ouput. http://paste.ubuntu.com/27450/
[10:03] <DistroJockey> Don64, what does your monitor support as it's max resolution?
[10:03] <Hunter`-> balle_: no, that just says nothing is connected at that port
[10:03] <Don64> using  1440x900?
[10:04] <DistroJockey> Don64, using?
[10:04] <Don64> using  1440x900 not a question
[10:04] <balle_> Hunter,-: well i have a built in WC and a build in bluetooth dongle and max 6 ports, nothing connects to them then...?
[10:04] <Don64> i have fat fingure sometimes
[10:04] <DistroJockey> Don64, ok, sec.
[10:04] <DistroJockey> :)
[10:04] <justdweezil> on my hard disk i have two partitions, one which has my ubuntu install and the other is empty. how do i combine them while maintaining my ubuntu install etc?
[10:05] <Flynsarmy> If i installed the latest 2.6.26 kernel, when i inevitably run into problems and stuff doesn't work would i still be able to use the one i currently have? 2.6.24-19 like the ubuntu updates have htem in the grub menu on boot
[10:06] <filthpig> Hi, does anyone know if there is a problem with the medibuntu repo today? I'm having trouble connecting and transfer speeds are very low
[10:06] <Flannel> lobaman: Your sources.list looks like its... too big at any rate.  Pastebin it, and we'll see if we can't trim it down to size.
[10:06] <lobaman> Flannel: ok wait up
[10:06] <asyam> hi
[10:07] <_jdd_> filthpig: i don't know but you could check in #medibuntu
[10:07] <Kartagis> apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils says there's no setup candidate for ndiswrapper-utils. what to do?
[10:08] <Flannel> Kartagis: its ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[10:08] <lobaman> Flannel: here is the source.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/27451/
[10:08] <justdweezil> on my hard disk i have two partitions, one which has my ubuntu install and the other is empty. how do i combine them while maintaining my ubuntu install etc?
[10:08] <DistroJockey> Don64, try this one after making a backup :  http://pastebin.com/mf6c83f1
[10:08] <lobaman> but i not the one you put it there. i just "SELECT BEST SERVER"
[10:09] <Kartagis> Flannel: so, apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ?
[10:09] <arvind_khadri> Kartagis, yeah with sudo
[10:09] <Don64> ok
[10:10] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, so you want the other partition to be ext3??
[10:10] <Flannel> lobaman: You got this from somewhere.  It looks pre-fab.  Anyway... uh, instead of commenting out everything, lets just back this up (copy your sources.list into your home folder for the time being, then we'll just start from scratch and see how it goes.
[10:10] <lobaman> anyway this is fresh install of 8.04. i came from 7.10.
[10:10] <Flannel> lobaman: If we get it working, you can slowly add in the stuff you need. If you find yourself needing it.
[10:10] <lobaman> oh ok
[10:10] <lobaman> ok done backup.
[10:11] <Flynsarmy> Is there a command that will give info on which webcam iit has detected? make an dmodel?
[10:11] <joshman09> help with partition issue
[10:11] <Hardy_Feisty> whats the best desklet/widget tool?   I cant decide between screenlets and google gadgets or gdesklets
[10:11] <arvind_khadri> Flynsarmy, lspci
[10:11] <justdweezil> arvind: yeah. i want to take the other unused partition and join it to my current one
[10:11] <joshman09> i was planning to partition two so i can put windows and ubuntu
[10:11] <DistroJockey> !best | Hardy_Feisty
[10:11] <joshman09> but i love ubuntu
[10:12] <joshman09> that i don't need the other allocated drive for windows
[10:12] <nextplace> joshman09: me too
[10:12] <Hardy_Feisty> ok i ask best bot
[10:12] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, install gparted and convert the partition to ext3 and merge it
[10:12] <joshman09> how can i that space for more space to ubuntu
[10:12] <nextplace> joshman09: gpartes
[10:12] <codyzapp> Is there such thing as a flash card program that lets you enter symbols ? i have granual and it always claims <> and # are illegal characters. i need a quick alternative.
[10:12] <nextplace> joshman09: gparted
[10:12] <justdweezil> arvind: oh okay so i have to convert it to ext3 before i can merge.
[10:12] <joshman09> so i have unallocated 11.51gb
[10:13] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, yeah...
[10:13] <lobaman> Flannel: waiting for instructions now.
[10:13] <joshman09> and /dev/sda5 of 41.18
[10:13] <Flannel> lobaman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27452/
[10:13] <joshman09> i want to merge the unallocated 11.51 to 41.18
[10:13] <Flannel> lobaman: That's your sources.list
[10:13] <lobaman> ok. that 3 line?
[10:13] <Flannel> lobaman: Yep
[10:13] <justdweezil> arvind: sorry, i'm new to linux. it's ext3 now. how do i merge?
[10:13] <arvind_khadri> joshman09, try to keep your queries to a single line :)
[10:14] <Flynsarmy> arvind_khadri, It's not in there. Camorama is able to display it but doesn't show me any info about it
[10:14] <nextplace> justdweezil: i've send you query-msg
[10:14] <Flannel> Flynsarmy: lsusb (assuming its a USB) should give a model ID, which you can then google (should be XXXX:YYYY)
[10:14] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, thats ok...there should be a merge option in the GUI
[10:14] <nextplace> joshman09: I've sent you a query-msg
[10:14] <Flynsarmy> Flannel, Thanks
[10:14] <arvind_khadri> Flynsarmy, yeah its lsusb ... sorry realized later
[10:15] <ReAn[Laptop]> Simple Question: i wanna make a launcher to a folder, "/shares" when i make a launcher and select "Location" it seems to want a file
[10:15] <lobaman> Flannel: ok i already add the 3 line. whats next?
[10:15] <ReAn[Laptop]> how do i make a shortcut that launches a folder in the file browser?
[10:15] <Flannel> lobaman: Save it, sudo apt-get update
[10:15] <justdweezil> arvind: i don't see any sort of merge option. not even a greyed-out one
[10:15] <Vegombrei> gaelfx: that didnt work .. the ubuntu pc doesnt show up on my workgroup network for file sharing
[10:15] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: call the file browser (nautilus)  (probably with the path as an argument)
[10:15] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, jus hang on
[10:15] <justdweezil> arvind: alright, take your time. i appreciate the help.
[10:16] <DistroJockey> ReAn[Laptop], use   nautilus /shares   as the command
[10:16] <zsolty> hello, I requaire some help for making my wireless ? Please help! l
[10:16] <molgrum> Vegombrei: maybe this will help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad17kma8rNM
[10:16] <lobaman> Flannel: i have this error. http://paste.ubuntu.com/27453/
[10:17] <Flannel> lobaman: Is your sources.list just those three lines/
[10:17] <shashi> what is the command to find-out what Ubuntu Desktop/Server version is installed ?
[10:17] <lobaman> yes
[10:17] <anolis>  im having trouble getting my broadcom 4306 card to use the legacy drivers, the MAC core version is at 3, injection is not working
[10:17] <Flannel> shashi: lsb_release -a
[10:17] <dasy2k1>  /msg ubottu etiquette
[10:17] <lobaman> Flannel: yes.
[10:17] <Flannel> lobaman: backup (copy to your homedir) everything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and then delete them all
[10:18] <shashi> Flannel : Thank you.
[10:18] <lobaman> Flannel: delete sources.list.d including dir?
[10:18] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, yeah figured out do you have any data on the other drive the unused one??
[10:18] <Flannel> lobaman: No, just the contents.
[10:18] <justdweezil> no
[10:19] <justdweezil> arvind: no, i shouldn't.
[10:19] <lobaman> flannel:  ok done
[10:19] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, then delete it
[10:19] <arvind_khadri> !tab | justdweezil
[10:19] <Flannel> lobaman: Alright, now pastebin sudo apt-get update again
[10:20] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, and are the two partitions adjacent ?
[10:20] <justdweezil> arvind: yes, they are. i have deleted the empty one.
[10:20] <lobaman> Flannel: here it is. http://paste.ubuntu.com/27454/
[10:21] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, now use the resize option for the higher one that is the partition which has ubuntu...but i recommend you doing this through a gparted live cd
[10:22] <DistroJockey> Don64, if that replacement  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  fails,  restore from the backup
[10:22] <justdweezil> arvind: yes. i think that i must do it from a liveCD, since right now the option to resize is greyed out.
[10:22] <Don64> ok just now figured out how to copy the file to the diretory
[10:22] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, you need to select the drive you want to resize first \
[10:23] <justdweezil> arvind: yes, i am right-clicking the partition with my current ubuntu install on it and it option to resize is greyed out. should i try again from a livecd?
[10:23] <DistroJockey> arvind_khadri, justdweezil : if it's currently mounted you won't be able to resize/change it
[10:23] <Flannel> lobaman: Alrigh, can you (in a browser) view this page fine? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[10:23] <lobaman> ok
[10:24] <justdweezil> distrojockey: yes, that is what i suspected. thank you.
[10:24] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, yeah you cant resize a mounted drive so use a live cd
[10:24] <Mr_Bad_News> ok conky keeps making a vertical and horizontal display
[10:24] <Mr_Bad_News> and they minimize when i hit the show desktop button
[10:24] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i change that?
[10:24] <justdweezil> arvind: thank you very much for your help. it is much appreciated
[10:24] <DistroJockey> justdweezil, no problem
[10:24] <lobaman> Flannel: i can see the directories.
[10:24] <arvind_khadri> DistroJockey, was about to say that :P
[10:24] <DistroJockey> arvind_khadri, :)
[10:24] <arvind_khadri> justdweezil, welcome :)
[10:24] <Flannel> lobaman: Hmm, alright.  Try changing all the http://'s in that to ftp://'s  (deb ftp://[url] etc etc etc)
[10:24] <bboschman> Hi
[10:24] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, did you read the man page on it?
[10:25] <Mr_Bad_News> yes
[10:25] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, hi
[10:25] <Mr_Bad_News> and how do i stick screenlets to the desktop so it doesnt minimize when i hit show desktop
[10:25] <lobaman> Flannel: ok. i change it to ftp. i can see the directory. just a change of layout
[10:25] <bboschman> I want to build a CustomKernel using make-kpkg but I get several errors: http://paste.debian.net/11234/
[10:26] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, tried running it with the   --daemonize   option?
[10:26] <Flannel> lobaman: right.  Sorry, I meant in your sources.list (and then try updating again)
[10:26] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, that would be #kernel not here :)
[10:26] <lobaman> oh ok
[10:26] <lobaman> wait up
[10:26] <Mr_Bad_News> well there are two DistroJockey
[10:26] <Mr_Bad_News> one horizontal and vertical
[10:26] <bboschman> arvind_khadri, no - normal kernel build would work - therefor its ubuntu specific
[10:26] <Mr_Bad_News> i want to get rid of the horizontal one and move the vertical one to the 0 0 position
[10:27] <lobaman> Flannel: run the apt-get again?
[10:27] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, oh ok...just hang on then :)
[10:27] <Flannel> lobaman: yep
[10:27] <izmeh> Anyone mind recommending a better pdf viewer than the default?
[10:27] <wols> !better
[10:27] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, or the  own_window_hints undecorated,below,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager   (maybe just sticky is needed)  No idea really
[10:28] <Mr_Bad_News> tried them all DistroJockey
[10:28] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, did you read the readme coming with the source on how to install
[10:28] <Mr_Bad_News> other than undecorated
[10:28] <bboschman> arvind_khadri, yes - I already did this for dapper (also for etch)
[10:28] <lobaman> Flannel: ok wait up. i think im downloading something from it
[10:29] <bboschman> but it seems that some scripts are broken
[10:29] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, ok is this is a vanilla kernel??
[10:29] <Don64> DistroJockey: it came up at 1024 x 768 but the icons and screen are correct
[10:29] <bboschman> no - aptitude install linux-source
[10:29] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, ok hang on
[10:30] <bboschman> cd /usr/src; tar xfvj linux-source-*.tar.bz2; cd linux-source-*; cp /boot/config-`uname -r`; make oldconfig
[10:30] <bboschman> make menuconfig -> my modifications
[10:30] <DistroJockey> Don64, well, slightly better I guess :)
[10:30] <arvind_khadri> bboschman,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile i feel you should follow this
[10:31] <bboschman> arvind_khadri, I do
[10:31] <Don64> DistroJockey: I can live with this if need be
[10:31] <DistroJockey> Don64, so you now have 2 blank strips either side of your interface?
[10:31] <arvind_khadri> bboschman, so hung up where??
[10:31] <wols> bboschman: did you already compile a kernel in that directory?
[10:31] <SeekerX5> Hi.  I have 7.10 installed on my laptop.  Keyboard worked fine.  Then I plugged in a keyboard with USB connection to laptop.  The USB keyboard works fine too.  However, when I take the USB keyboard off, my laptop keyboard won't work properly - most keys are fine, but a few keys like the "U" instead types a "4", thus I'm not able to use it.  How can I fix this?
[10:32] <lobaman> Flannel: here is the output. http://paste.ubuntu.com/27455/
[10:32] <Don64> DistroJockey: no, do you wqant a screen shot?
[10:32] <DistroJockey> Mr_Bad_News, did you see the Examples and Bugs at the end of the  man conky page ?
[10:32] <bboschman> wols, the error is generated when I try to clean that directory (make-kpkg clean)
[10:32] <DistroJockey> Don64, sure
[10:32] <wols> bboschman: that was not my question
[10:32] <dasy2k1> @SeekerX5 sounds like you have numlock on
[10:32] <Flannel> lobaman: Right.  Looks like that fixed it.  You should be able to install mysql-server now
[10:33] <bboschman> wols, I guess when I untar linux-source-*.tar.bz2 that it is clean
[10:33] <bboschman> beside ubuntu specific patches
[10:33] <lobaman> Flannel: yahoo. thanks alot man. i think mysqlserver is now downloading. :) thanks alot.
[10:33] <Mr_Bad_News> isnt the yx postion 0 0 the top left?
[10:33] <Flannel> lobaman: You'll probably want to (whenever you have a little bit of time) make sure you're up to date (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade), since who knows how long its been since you've gotten new packages
[10:33] <wols> bboschman: stop talking to me until you can finally answer my question
[10:33] <Mr_Bad_News> i set conky to that and its opening on the top right
[10:33] <dasy2k1> @SeekerX5 most laptops have a numberpad on jkluio789, to turn it off is probabbly fn and some key near the top
[10:33] <bboschman> wols, no
[10:34] <wols> then no make clean necessary
[10:34] <bboschman> I had not compiled before
[10:34] <Don64> DistroJockey: try [IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/nxvuba.png[/IMG]
[10:35] <jigp> hello i upgraded my ubuntu 8 desktop and downloaded all the packages but still i cannot connect my wireless router... how to connect wireless router for aspire 4315 laptop? thanks
[10:35] <DistroJockey> Don64, btw, tis better to use the option for  Direct Link for Layouts  when posting here :)
[10:35] <wols> jigp: what wlan chipset?
[10:35] <Don64> DistroJockey: ok, didn't know
[10:35] <lobaman> Flannel: ok thanks alot man. ill do that. thanks
[10:35] <jasonago> hey, is there an easier way to install fonts on ubuntu? Kubuntu has a good font manager that lets you import almost any fonts..is there a utility that works for ubuntu? HEY, Font installation is very easy...why do we need to mess up with command line for this simple task...
[10:35] <bboschman> wols, that is still not a solution
[10:35] <DistroJockey> Don64, np at all
[10:35] <dasy2k1> @jigp can you see anything under restricted drivers?
[10:35] <Lloydie-t> Help. I have managed to create a init.d script which is hanging on boot up and I can not log on. What can I do?
[10:36] <wols> bboschman: it is. but yource choice. HAND
[10:36] <wols> Lloydie-t: write it without bugs
[10:36] <Flannel> Lloydie-t: At your GRUB menu, choose the recovery console.  then you can fix it/disable it/whatver
[10:36] <dasy2k1> Lloydie-t: try booting with a live cd and removing it!
[10:36] <DistroJockey> Don64, ok, seems you now have quite a low resolution
[10:36] <DistroJockey> Don64, what problem is it you see with it?
[10:36] <Don64> DistroJockey: the border on all of the screenshots is from the screen capture program.  It fills my screen on all four sides
[10:36] <ccooke> j #xen
[10:36] <ccooke> bah!
[10:37] <jigp> wols dasy2kl : where to see the restricted drivers? i dont see it from above near in the clock....
[10:37] <Lloydie-t> Is the GRUB menu avaiable on a server install
[10:37] <Don64> DistroJockey: i'll post the older screen again to let you see the diference
[10:37] <dasy2k1> Lloydie-t: try system --> administration
[10:37] <DistroJockey> Don64, so you have black/blank space all around the interface (i.e. the pic doesn't fill the screen) ?
[10:37] <SeekerX6> dasy2k1 - yes that was it!  Thanks man, I can't believe how much time I tried to fix it some other method :)
[10:38] <bboschman> wols, but `make-kpkg kernel-image`also is not working: http://paste.debian.net/11236/
[10:38] <arvind_khadri> !xen | ccooke
[10:38] <jigp> wols dasy2kl : i check also System,Administration,Network and Network tools same there is no tools for wireless ....
[10:38] <Lloydie-t> thanks I will go to site and try
[10:38] <Don64> DistroJockey:  MG]http://i35.tinypic.com/5b3dzd.jpg[/IMG]
[10:39] <ccooke> arvind_khadri: yes, I know - I just missed the / on my /join command :-)
[10:39] <Don64> DistroJockey: i coulnd get the address to copy corectly
[10:39] <arvind_khadri> ccooke, :)
[10:39] <dasy2k1> jigp: if the restricted drivers are not enabled then there wont be any wireles tools in network
[10:39] <wols> bboschman: do you run this on debian or on ubuntu? is what are your kernel-package, gcc and distro versions?
[10:39] <jigp> wols dasy2kl : its supports Atheros ?
[10:39] <DistroJockey> Don64, np. does, my question above sound like the issue?
[10:40] <jigp> dasy2k1 : kindly point me please, where that restricted drivers located ? thanks
[10:40] <dasy2k1> jigp:  it does! mines an atheros and it just found it,
[10:40] <Mr_Bad_News> is there anything for x an y positions on the desktop so i can know where to position something
[10:41] <Don64> DistroJockey: no!!  it fills the whole screen.  but when i open an app it acts like it is only in a smaller resolution in the screen
[10:41] <dasy2k1> jigp: it should be under system administration hardware drivers manager
[10:41] <jigp> dasy2k1 : where to enabled it pls
[10:41] <bboschman> wols, ubuntu hardy; kernel-package: 11.001; gcc: 4.2.3-2ubuntu7
[10:41] <jigp> dasy2k1 : checking
[10:41] <ReAn[Laptop]> HELP HELP, I just deleted my top-bar (panel) by accident.... omg... how do i get it back?
[10:41] <Don64> the icon is moved to the place where the apps start thinking the screen is viewable
[10:41] <Don64> the trash icon
[10:41] <dasy2k1> ReAn[Laptop]: try gnome-panel from a terminal
[10:42] <Flannel> !resetpanel | ReAn[Laptop]
[10:42] <DistroJockey> Don64, wow, that is a very odd problem that I can honestly say have never seen before :(
[10:42] <Don64> lol
[10:42] <wols> bboschman: it looks like a kernel-package problem which is odd. the missing version thing is probably a Changelog Issue
[10:42] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: Or, right click near a panel "add panel" then right click on it, "add to panel"
[10:42] <jigp> dasy2k1 : im using a lan now. and yes  i found the two options and it was all checked (enabled)
[10:43] <ReAn[Laptop]> ubottu: <3
[10:43] <dasy2k1> jigp: have you got a network manager running?
[10:43] <DistroJockey> Don64, you upgraded right? And it worked before?
[10:43] <Don64> DistroJockey: i'll leave it at this lower res and see  Thanks for your help
[10:43] <Don64> yes
[10:43] <jigp> days2k1 : hardware drivers, device driver: Atheros hardware access layer (HAL) - in use..Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards - in use
[10:44] <ReAn[Laptop]> now, if only i could figure out how to add a custom menu to my panel >_<
[10:44] <DistroJockey> Don64, if you get a chance or can, I always like a nice clean install :)
[10:44] <Illarane> wols: Don't suppose you have any miracle cures for my EDID problem?  I tried NoDDC, but that doesn't work either. :(
[10:44] <DistroJockey> Don64, way less ploblems
[10:44] <Don64> DistroJockey: this happened on and off with the older 7.10 but not every time
[10:44] <DistroJockey> problems even^
[10:44] <dasy2k1> jigp: on your top pannel is there the network manager
[10:44] <bboschman> wols, which means for me?
[10:44] <dasy2k1> jigp:  looks a bit like a lan lead if i remember correctly
[10:44] <wols> Illarane: don't set sync rates
[10:45] <Don64> DistroJockey: thanks again
[10:45] <wols> Illarane: if it's a TFT don't make it use any rate above 60Hz
[10:45] <DistroJockey> Don64, you're most welcome
[10:45] <jigp> dasy2k1 : in clock above?
[10:45] <dasy2k1> jigp: near the clock yes
[10:46] <jigp> dasy2k1 : yes i saw an icon like monitor
[10:46] <jigp> dasy2k1 : but i right click it, there is no wireless options there
[10:47] <jigp> daysy2k1 : only "edit wireless network
[10:47] <``Cube> hey, how can I install ubuntu on a pc without an optical drive?
[10:48] <dasy2k1> jigp: in network can you see anything for the wireless
[10:48] <negge^> jigp: on my EeePC (which uses the Atheros wifi chipset) the proprietary drivers don't work so I had to download the madwifi driver and compile it myself in order to get wireless to work
[10:48] <arvind_khadri> !usb | ``Cube
[10:48] <negge^> ``Cube: you can make a bootable USB stick
[10:48] <ajzimmerman> Where should I look in order to find more information about compiling Windows source code into something I can install on linux?
[10:49] <jigp> days2k1 : System, Administration,Network:Wired connection and point to point connection
[10:50] <ajzimmerman> How do I go about converting an executable into binary and porting that into linux?
[10:50] <Mr_Bad_News> conky is too complicated
[10:50] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: if you're lucky it can be run with wine
[10:50] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: windows executable? I think you need wine to run that...
[10:51] <jasonago> Wine Is Not Emulator
[10:51] <ajzimmerman> I have wine, but would like a more stable compatabilitiy
[10:51] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: porting windows code to work on linux can be a non-trivial task
[10:51] <ajzimmerman> _jdd: I was not aware of that.
[10:51] <jigp> days2k1 negge^ : if you click the icon of the monitor there in clock:all i see is Wire Network, Connect to 802.1x protected wired network, and Manual Configuration
[10:51] <balle_> i need help getting ubuntu to reacongnise my external HDD, it cant detect anything in the USB ports, so how do i get that working?
[10:52] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: if you have the source code of the windows exec, then possibly some tweaking will allow you to compile it on ubuntu...
[10:52] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: basically, rewrite everything linux-specific in the source to work with the linux equivalent. assuming you have legal access to the source.
[10:52] <_jdd_> *windows-specific
[10:52] <dasy2k1> jigp: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/dasy2k1/other%20stuff/random%20screenshots/Screenshot-NetworkSettings.png
[10:52] <Mr_Bad_News> is there a way to get gedit to replace a string with another one
[10:52] <gordonjcp> ajzimmerman: I think you can build it against wine, or something
[10:52] <Juhaz> it depends a LOT on how the software in question is written in the first place, it can be easy if it has been written with cross-platform support on mind, but it can also be almost impossible
[10:52] <gordonjcp> Mr_Bad_News: yes
[10:52] <negge^> ajzimmerman: it also depends on what language the program is written in etc.
[10:52] <gordonjcp> Mr_Bad_News: it's called "search and replace"
[10:53] <ajzimmerman> Where shall I look to find programs that change the source into UNIX compatibility
[10:53] <negge^> if you're not a programmer it's virtually impossible
[10:53] <ajzimmerman> negge: I am not a programmer, but I wish to try.
[10:53] <_jdd_> indeed. what's the program for anyhow? there may be a linux equivalent already. I don't think it's the type of thing that can be automated easily
[10:53] <Juhaz> you don't. this is not a task that a program can do, unless you have a hard AI hidden somewhere
[10:53] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: _jdd_ is right...and that will be too much work assuming the program is very very microsoft oriented...
[10:53] <negge^> ajzimmerman: good luck
[10:54] <ajzimmerman> There are programs available that change the /'s and \'s or whatever. And fix the spaces in the code.
[10:54] <jigp> dasy2k1 : i dont see the Wireless connection... only these Wired Connection and Poin to point Connection
[10:54] <negge^> ajzimmerman: yeah but that's different
[10:54] <ajzimmerman> Why?
[10:54] <gordonjcp> ajzimmerman: because Windows uses very different functions to do nearly everything
[10:54] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: sure, but again it depends on what the program is meant to do, what language it is in, and how much windows-specific stuff is in the code. there's millions of little things that could need changed, depending.
[10:54] <camara> i have a problem with my computer its loading xservers
[10:55] <dasy2k1> jigp: not sure then with the drivers enabled they should be there
[10:55] <jigp> daysy2k1 : do i need to use root in desktop?
[10:55] <negge^> jigp: what kind of wifi chipset do you have?
[10:55] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: what's the app?
[10:55] <ajzimmerman> _jdd: Ok.
[10:55] <gordonjcp> ajzimmerman: what's the program anyway?
[10:55] <skomara-jibagger> vipi
[10:55] <ajzimmerman> There are several programs.
[10:55] <ajzimmerman> I would start with Miranda.
[10:55] <ajzimmerman> I have the source code.
[10:55] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: whoow...several programs is several...
[10:55] <negge^> :D
[10:56] <jasonago> miranda I think has deb package...
[10:56] <balle_> i need help getting ubuntu to reacongnise my external HDD, it cant detect anything in the USB ports, so how do i get that working?
[10:56] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: miranda - http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?t=4624
[10:56] <Illarane> wols: Er... how do I stop it using refresh rates over 60? :)
[10:56] <bazhang> ajzimmerman, what does this have to do with ubuntu support?
[10:56] <Illarane> ajzimmerman: Armin? :)
[10:56] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: but it's immature. Pidgin is an equivalent.
[10:56] <ajzimmerman> No it isn't
[10:57] <ajzimmerman> Are you kidding?
[10:57] <jigp> negge^ atheros
[10:57]  * Illarane likes Pidgin.
[10:57] <ajzimmerman> Miranda does not support offline messages with MSN.
[10:57] <_jdd_> ajzimmerman: well it's closer. there are a lot of IM clients available
[10:57] <Illarane> Neither does Pidgin.
[10:57] <bazhang> ajzimmerman, please take chat about programming to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:57] <ajzimmerman> I mean pidgin
[10:57] <jasonago> balle_: ubuntu normally detects everything plugged in the usb port...maybe your external drive is not yet supported by ubuntu or there's some problem on your usb port...does your other usb peripherals working fine???
[10:57] <ajzimmerman> No, miranda does
[10:57] <negge^> jigp: yes but which model exactly. Write lspci in a terminal to check it
[10:57] <jigp> dasy2k1 : http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/1965/screenshotto3.th.png
[10:58] <ajzimmerman> Am I not allowed to talk about things unspecific to Ubuntu in here?
[10:58] <Flynsarmy> Are there any netlimiter clones for ubuntu?
[10:58] <negge^> jigp: you just posted a link to a thumbnail
[10:58] <bazhang> ajzimmerman, not here; in the ot channel
[10:58] <balle_> jasonago: it's a fat32 system, and yes it does detect my mouse and stuff like that fine, though the mouse is painfully slow, maybe i need some drivers for my USB ports?
[10:58] <negge^> ajzimmerman: this channel is for support only, not for chit-chatting
[10:58] <jasonago> ajzimmerman: uhm try Kopete from kde...you might like it...
[10:58] <ajzimmerman> negge: Ok. I will find another IRC channel.
[10:59] <jigp> negge^:http://pastebin.com/m4f34c64a
[10:59] <ajzimmerman> Thanks for throwing ideas at me though guys and girls!
[10:59] <jasonago> balle_: how old is your motherboard? is your usb port embedded in the mobord or plug and play via some cards?
[10:59] <ajzimmerman> And links.
[10:59] <ajzimmerman> Good day.
[11:00] <jigp> dasy2k1 : http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotto3.png
[11:00] <negge^> jigp: okay, I just checked and saw that you don't have the same card as I do so I don't know if the madwifi drivers would do any good for you.
[11:00] <balle_> jasonango: well the motherboard is about 3 years old (labtop) and i could not imagine anything else than the ports being imbedded in it
[11:00] <rokra> please how to configure is system sound? in 5.1?
[11:00] <jigp> negge^ ok thanks.. :)
[11:01] <jasonago> oh its a laptop...what laptop is it? lucky if it is dell coz dell is somewhat openminded in supporting ubuntu..
[11:01] <jigp> jasonago : acer aspire 4315
[11:02] <balle_> jasonango: it's a danish brand sadly a zepto.... and i know that ubuntu is not that fond of my gfx card, the version before hardy was not at least
[11:02] <jasonago> you need to install some restricted usb drivers for your laptop...its better to inquire to laptop's customer service...
[11:02] <jigp> jasonago : i cannot connect to my wireless router... im using now a lan..i downloaded all the packages but still i cannot connect  to my wireless.....
[11:02] <negge^> jigp: check out http://madwifi.org/ anyway, the driver has been reported to work with quite many Atheros cards so it's always worth a try. You'll find installation instructions on the site, compiling it from source code is really easy and afaik the best way to do it
[11:02] <jasonago> but ubuntu detects your wireless router?
[11:03] <matteo_> Hi, how can i edit my xfce menu in Xubuntu?
[11:03] <levander> Did GNOME every get a good image browser?  gthumb is too simplistic.  That one based on Mono didn't even support RAW images.
[11:03] <balle_> jasonago: okay then so i need to call 'em up again you think?
[11:03] <omer_> hi,i have installed eclipse-cdt but i can not found it in applications menu
[11:04] <omer_> where can i find it
[11:04] <balle_> jasonago: wireless is a full go, though it doesnt detect my own wireless router, i think it's something in the encryption because it works fine with windows
[11:04] <jasonago> balle_: well yes...unless someone in this chatroom knows how to fix that prob..
[11:04] <angah> hi..i got problem with my wireless in my laptop. My laptop use Atheros. I already install ndiswrapper. This is lshw from my laptop http://pastebin.com/m49ee3f43
[11:04] <negge^> levander: the default one that comes with GNOME is okay isn't it? Atleast it works
[11:04] <bazhang> balle_, what chipset
[11:05] <levander> negge^: That's f-spot right, the one based on Mono?
[11:05] <balle_> bazhang: well, where can i check that?
[11:05] <bazhang> balle_, lspci for the video card (just the one line here)
[11:05] <rocko_> hello
[11:05] <angah> how to activate my wireless? i already set modprobe

[11:06] <bazhang> balle_, you have hardy installed? what do hardware drivers offer for that card
[11:07] <negge^> angah: only thing I can think of that could solve the problem is using the madwifi drivers instead of ndiswrapper/proprietary driver
[11:07] <rocko_> no bazhang I need xmms
[11:07] <bazhang> !xmms | rocko_
[11:07] <balle_> bazhang: yea and it offers only 1 restricted drivers

[11:09] <bazhang> balle_, another option is envyng-gtk
[11:09] <angah> negge^: thank u
[11:09] <negge^> omer_: I don't remember the other one
[11:09] <omer_> ok
[11:09] <rocko_> I am not a complete noob I have all free software codecs installed
[11:09] <Almindor> is there a source repository for ubuntu somewhere?
[11:09] <balle_> bazhang: is that the unrestricted drivers made by other people than the nvidia dudes?
[11:09] <bazhang> rocko_, they are not free (the codecs); they are proprietary.
[11:10] <negge^> Almindor: you can get the source code to a program by writing "apt-get source programxxx"
[11:10] <rocko_> gstreamer are free software
[11:10] <bazhang> !info envyng-gtk | balle_
[11:10] <Almindor> negge^, any idea where the human theme source is?
[11:10] <bazhang> rocko_, the w32codecs are not.
[11:10] <DistroJockey> mikea87, I'd probably just copy the entry you use to boot your first one and change the Title and the root
[11:10] <Almindor> negge^, I mean which package..
[11:10] <angah> negge^: i search in apt-get and i got it..now install it
[11:10] <rocko_> I know
[11:10] <negge^> Almindor: gnome-themes or something
[11:10] <rocko_> I don't use w32codecs
[11:10] <jigp> negge^ how to extract the tar gz?
[11:10] <balle_> bazhang: installing....
[11:10] <negge^> Almindor: use synaptic so search for it
[11:10] <rocko_> I only use free software
[11:10] <jigp> negge^ done downloading the file tho
[11:11] <negge^> jigp: tar -xvf tarball.tar.gz
[11:11] <negge^> jigp: the madwifi driver?

[11:11] <mikea87> how to change the root? there are many strange digits there how to find it?

[11:11] <``Cube> guys, but can I install ubuntu via a usb optical drive?

[11:15] <negge> jigp: I don't know if the link you posted would help or if the madwifi driver actually works, you'll just have to try for yourself
[11:15] <rajagopal> dasy2kl: i did ...it gave me several options.....where i lost my head:)
[11:15] <DistroJockey> mikea87, no problem. Good luck
[11:15] <negge> I doubt you'll be able to mess anything up badly
[11:16] <Yoghurt> i have never heard of opera during that... :) maybe it's a security issue...? to high security so that opera don't execute the dll?
[11:16] <negge> ``Cube: you just plug the device in and set your computer to boot from BIOS
[11:16] <mikea87> which soft is for making backup? or where can I read about this?
[11:16] <negge> ``Cube: I mean boot from USB:D
[11:16] <``Cube> ah okay
[11:16] <negge> that was some serious typo
[11:16] <``Cube> negge: hehe ;)
[11:16] <Yoghurt> Backup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087&highlight=backup+ubuntu
[11:16] <``Cube> yea hehe ;)

[11:17] <DeathPig> ok i'm rusty how do triggers work nowadays?
[11:17] <DistroJockey> mikea87, should do the job
[11:17] <rajagopal>  dasy2k1: i did ...it gave me several options.....where i lost my head:)
[11:17] <Yoghurt> anyone knows a little about Wubi?
[11:18] <dasy2k1> rajagopal: post the options to a pastebin then and somone will be able to decipher it
[11:18] <DistroJockey> mikea87, then if you need the original back, you:  sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup /boot/grub/menu.lst

[11:19] <DistroJockey> havocstorm, wb!
[11:19] <havocstorm> a high pitched whining comes out of the pc case

[11:19] <DeathPig><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:19] <LSD|Ninja> havocstorm: pwm fan being locked into the fastest setting perhaps?
[11:20] <havocstorm> hmm
[11:20] <havocstorm> how do I change the fast speed?
[11:20] <havocstorm> cause this was a problem in windows too
[11:20] <jigp> negge^ : im not good..i dont see any .exe file there..im done extracting it...
[11:20] <havocstorm> when I upgraded to the newest drivers
[11:20] <jigp> dasy2k1 : any idea?
[11:20] <frippera> I need some help.....I accedently changed something that I shouldnt have in the advanced desktop settings....so now I have to hold down the CTRL key on my keyboard to be able to use my mose buttons in windows.....I can close minimize and so on but not do regualar work....like selecting stuff or pressing buttons....anyone know what I might have changed?
[11:20] <havocstorm> but with the driver I had on my CD it didn't have any problems
[11:20] <dasy2k1> jigp linux is not windows and dousent use exe files!
[11:21] <LSD|Ninja> dasy2k1: it does when you're messing around with Windows drivers for ndiswrapper ;)
[11:21] <dasy2k1> jigp: try ./configure then make then make isntall
[11:21]  * dasy2k1 knows nothing about ndswrapper
[11:22] <havocstorm> !ndiswrapper
[11:22] <rhalff> ndiswrapper isn't just about wireless.
[11:23] <havocstorm> lol, I don't know that much either
[11:23] <havocstorm> I only recently got ndiswrapper working
[11:23] <havocstorm> netgear cards are crap
[11:23] <havocstorm> how hard is it to include linux drivers on your CD
[11:23] <LSD|Ninja> I've never actually used it myself, I just know it's one of the more common reasons to be screwing around with .exe files on Linux
[11:23] <dasy2k1> depends on how much m$ bribe you not to
[11:24] <havocstorm> I wish they bribed me
[11:24] <havocstorm> I need a second monitor
[11:24] <jigp> days2k1 : extracted it in my home .... where to type the ./configure
[11:25] <redduck676> when i try to play gta2 i get ''video mode 16xx16x16 is not available''. any hints?
[11:25] <LSD|Ninja> havocstorm: probably as hard as it is to find hardware that doesn't need linux drivers to be supplied with it :P
[11:25] <CoolFox> anybody know the "three finger salute" for your bringing up a task manager in gnome? akin to ctrl alt del?
[11:25] <dasy2k1> jigp sorry not sure on that one ndswrappert isnt my strong point
[11:25] <ijusten> Wine doesn't work. I knew the .98 had some problems, so I waited till Ubuntu got to 1.0, but it still doesn't work. I click an exe, and it simply does nothing
[11:25] <rhalff> redduck676, go to work.. :p
[11:26] <DistroJockey> jigp, cd into the dir that was created when you extracted then  ./configure
[11:26] <LSD|Ninja> As far as wireless goes, both Intel and Atheros cards have reasonable OOB support under Ubuntu
[11:26] <havocstorm> LSD|Ninja, sigh... why can't linux be supported by hardware manufactureers
[11:26] <Agu10>  /msg nickserv identify bitcher
[11:26] <redduck676> rhalff: heh
[11:26] <ijusten> still about non-working wine. Any idea how to fix it?
[11:26] <LSD|Ninja> havocstorm: because it has barely a fraction of the market share windows does?
[11:26] <Agu10> hey
[11:27] <joshman2020> can anyone help with resizing partition with gparted?
[11:27] <havocstorm> LSD|Ninja, yeah but it doesn't that that much effort to write drivers
[11:28] <alraune> joshman220 : yep
[11:28] <joshman2020> i have sda5 (ext3) and i would like to extended to my unallocated 11.5
[11:28] <LSD|Ninja> havocstorm: if that was really the case then they'd already be doing it :P
[11:28] <alraune> joshman220 : see you pm !
[11:28] <havocstorm> LSD|Ninja, hmm, yeah. You're right. oh well
[11:28] <havocstorm> Can anyone help with my graphics card problem?
[11:29] <Shujah> .
[11:29] <LSD|Ninja> Shujah: you don't know a guy by the handle of Ghostavo do you?
[11:30] <ijusten> does anyone know how to fix wine?
[11:30] <Shujah> LSD|Ninja, I dont :|
[11:30] <gordonjcp> ijusten: What exactly are you trying to do?
[11:30] <LSD|Ninja> Shujah: heh, he had a thing for using . like that too
[11:30] <ijusten> gordonjcp, it never actually worked, ever since I got 8.04.

[11:30] <EugenMayer> is it possible to install IE 7 under wine (like ie4linux)
[11:31] <ijusten> I thought it had something to do with bugs in .98, but it still doesnt work in 1.00
[11:31] <Lusule> can anyone help me with how to get the libc development thingy i need to be able to compile my graphics driver kernel?
[11:31] <DistroJockey> jigp, did you read that README file?
[11:31] <dasy2k1> ijusten: yes, ie4linux has an ie7 implimentation (with the UI from ie6 but the rendering engine from ie7)
[11:31] <Shujah> Lusule, download built-essential and follow some guide on comiling
[11:31] <_jdd_> EugenMayer: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Beta
[11:32] <ijusten> gordonjcp, i suppose it has something to do with dependencies.
[11:32] <jigp> Distrojockey : ahhh i got it.. ./configure is not working.... what i did is i type "make"
[11:32] <ijusten> dasy2k1, I just want to get irfanview working ;_;
[11:32] <Lusule> shujah - thanks
[11:32] <jigp> whew error
[11:32] <EugenMayer> thank you
[11:33] <ijusten> dasy2k1, Idon't care of ies4linux
[11:33] <DistroJockey> jigp, make may start, but if done wrong you will have issues
[11:33] <DistroJockey> jigp, read the README. It will tell you how to do it properly
[11:33] <dasy2k1> ijusten: sorry that was supposed to go to EugenMayer
[11:34] <omer_> is there graphic driver of  VIA/S3G P4M900(ecs mother board with via chipset)  for ubuntu

[11:34]  * hagus skips through the channel after a couple of days of frustration.
[11:35] <zyx386> hi
[11:35] <Shujah> hiya zyx386
[11:35] <hagus> If anyone knows pavel, could they please tell me that I was grateful.
[11:35] <zyx386> how can is disable keyring manager for wireless connection?
[11:36] <gordonjcp> ijusten: without some sort of description of the problem, it's probably going to be impossible to help you
[11:36] <neeto> I once saw a list of reccommended DLL overrides for Wine when intending to play steam games like HL2, does anyone have a link to a site that provides this information?
[11:36] <jigp> Distrojockey :http://pastebin.com/m575c7d7 this what got
[11:36] <ijusten> gordonjcp, I don't really know what else to say. Wine doesn't work. I click exe to install Irfanview, and nothing happens
[11:36] <wols> neeto: appdb.winehq.com?
[11:37] <neeto> wols, it wasn't there, but I'll check nonetheless
[11:37] <jigp> i need help..badly help...i cannot connect to wireless
[11:37] <gordonjcp> ijusten: ok, what error messages do you get?
[11:37] <ijusten> gordonjcp, none
[11:37] <negge> jigp: did you follow the readme when trying to compile?
[11:37] <zyx386> can anyone tell me, how?
[11:37] <ijusten> gordonjcp, it just ignores the doubleclick
[11:37] <DistroJockey> jigp, probably because you didn't read the README. And never use  sudo make
[11:37] <gordonjcp> ijusten: so you just get dropped right back at a prompt?
[11:38] <jigp> negge : yes i did :(
[11:38] <negge> jigp: hmm
[11:38] <Lusule> as before, can someone please link me a copy of the NVIDIA driver for Geforce 9600 32bit?  I can't seem to get the link from the NVIDIA page to work
[11:38] <negge> you shouldn't have gotten that many errors
[11:38] <ijusten> gordonjcp, I tried thru nautilus
[11:38] <gordonjcp> ijusten: ah, ok
[11:38] <jigp> Distrojockey : i did read it and i follow the command.same thing happen..pls read my pastebin...pls...thanks
[11:38] <julian_> got problems with my bc43 my wlan wont work with the fwcutter anymore since i deleted gutsy and installed hardy...
[11:38] <gordonjcp> ijusten: try it from a terminal, and see what happens
[11:38] <negge> jigp: I'm gonna download and compile it myself to see if I get the same errors you ho
[11:38] <roe_> jigp, what chipset are you trying to compile for?
[11:38] <gordonjcp> ijusten: also try #winehq
[11:38] <negge> got*
[11:38] <DistroJockey> jigp, I did read it
[11:38] <ijusten> gordonjcp, Ill do that
[11:38] <ijusten> thanks
[11:39] <roe_> looks like madwifi, why not just use module assistant?
[11:39] <Shujah> ijusten, from terminal wine programname.exe
[11:40] <ijusten> shujah, thanks
[11:40] <Shujah> ijusten, you might need some dlls but in that case wine will probably tell you
[11:40] <Grimnir> I have a general linux question. How do I make sure, that whenever root generates files in some folder, that the files are generated with 0775 permissions?
[11:40] <Lusule> anyone able to help me with installing the nvidia drivers please?
[11:40] <Shujah> Lusule, envyng wont work?
[11:40] <Kartagis> !nvidia | Lusule
[11:41] <dasy2k1> Grimnir: try man umask for details
[11:41] <ikonia> Shujah: why suggest envyng as the first point of call ?
[11:41] <thierry_> anyone know how to sart the windows-mounts at the autostart?
[11:41] <Grimnir> ok, thanks
[11:41] <Lusule> shujah: yes except i can't find a link to the driver i need that works
[11:41] <Kartagis> !fstab | thierry_
[11:41] <roe_> jigp, apt-get install module-assistant, then m-a a-i madwifi
[11:41] <ikonia> Lusule: what video card do you have ?
[11:41] <thierry_> thanks
[11:41] <roe_> that will create the module ath_pci
[11:42] <Shujah> ikonia, under the assumption hardware drivers didnt had the driver
[11:42] <Lusule> ikonia: geforce 9600 - i know exactly what driver i need but when i click the download link on the website, i just get an html page of spam
[11:42] <zyx386> can anyone answer?
[11:42] <ikonia> Lusule: contact nvidia then, they maintain that site
[11:42] <jigp> roe_:http://pastebin.com/m4f34c64a
[11:42] <Lusule> ikonia: someone yesterday was able to give me a link that worked, i was hoping that someone else would know it ><
[11:42] <roe_> jigp, yes I see you are trying to build the module by hand and failing.
[11:43] <negge> jigp: the driver compiles with no problem here
[11:43] <roe_> jigp, and my advice is don't build the module by hand, use module-assistant, that is why it is there
[11:43] <negge> roe_: what is module-assistant?
[11:43] <roe_> apt-cache show module-assistant
[11:43] <roe_> from the cli
[11:43] <roe_> it is a debian tool
[11:43] <BlueLaguna> Hmm, why does sudo try to resolve the hostname?
[11:44] <roe_> and a wonderful one at that
[11:44] <DistroJockey> BlueLaguna, that's been fixed in 8.04.1 I believe
[11:44] <jigp> roe_ : done apt-get install module-assistant
[11:44] <jigp> roe_ : whats next pls.. thanks
 jigp, apt-get install module-assistant, then m-a a-i madwifi
[11:45] <Shujah> Lusule, as far as I know 171.05 drivers from Nvidia work with the 9600gt on ubuntu
[11:45] <Lusule> shujah - they do, i just can't download them :D
[11:45] <Lusule> shujah - but i think i've found a workaround to allow me to get hold of them
[11:45] <Shujah> Lusule,  ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/171.05/
[11:46] <Lusule> shujah yep i just get spam when i click that, but right clicking 'save link as' i'm hoping works
[11:46] <Illarane> wols: If I interlace, I get a blank screen. :)
[11:46] <ijusten> it was missing dll. thanks for help
[11:46] <wols> Illarane: interlace?
[11:46] <jigp> roe_ : apt-get install m-a a-i madwifi ?
[11:46] <BlueLaguna> DistroJockey: This is a fresh install of the latest Ubuntu Server.  Why does it do it in the first place though?
[11:46] <Lusule> rebooting to try it now
[11:46] <JohnDoe75> hi all
[11:46] <wols> jigp: no
[11:46] <Shujah> Lusule, dude they work I just checked one
[11:46] <negge> roe_: I've used module-assistant once but I didn't know what it did, thanks for mentioning it, it really is a useful tool
[11:46] <roe_> jigp, no, m-a a-i madwifi
[11:47] <roe_> negge, I use it mainly for the nvidia module
[11:47] <nirupama> Is there any way to make the camera work in samsung Q1 ultra MID device
[11:47] <roe_> but also handy for ath_pci
[11:47] <DistroJockey> BlueLaguna, not too sure, just seen many issues relating to it and bug reports
[11:47] <zyx386> can anyone help by disable keyring manager on wireless conecction???
[11:48] <WalloO> zyx386, just set it with no password
[11:48] <WalloO> zyx386, empty password in fact. With 8.04 it works I think
[11:48] <Lusule> thanks guys, it worked fine once i worked out the link
[11:48] <Lusule> sorry for the trouble
[11:49] <DistroJockey> zyx386, does the  System - Preferences - Encryption and Keyrings  tool help?
[11:49] <roe_> I don't spend a lot of time in this channel, how do people follow the conversation with so much scroll?
[11:49] <Shujah> Lusule, dude what do you mean worked out the link :P you just had to download it - tells the real problem lies ahead :P
[11:49] <gordonjcp> roe_: page up and /lastlog in my case ;-)
[11:49] <DistroJockey> roe_, using the name of who you are replying to helps
[11:49] <Lusule> shujah - if i clicked on the link, it didn't open a download screen, it just opened an html window of spammy rubbish
[11:49] <WalloO> roe_, the best the can. However, modern irc client highlits sentence with their own use nickname, which helps to focus on specific discussion
[11:49] <jigp> roe_ : sudo m-a a-i madwifi is now working
[11:49] <zyx386> WalloO, i not say disable wireless conection key!!
[11:50] <Lusule> shujah - i already knew how to install it once i had it :D
[11:50] <jigp> roe_ install all?
[11:50] <Illarane> wols: 1680x1050@60i
[11:50] <roe_> jigp, yes
[11:50] <zyx386> DistroJockey, in which option can disable that?
[11:50] <WalloO> zyx386, wireless connection key wil stay. However, with empty password, keyring will not reuqest a password to connect
[11:50] <Lusule> !ipod lusule
[11:50] <Lusule> darnit ><
[11:50] <roe_> I guess the fast scroll keeps people from butting in on other peoples conversations
[11:50] <jigp> roe_ : ok what kind of module to install?
[11:50] <DistroJockey> zyx386, no idea sorry. Don't have wireless
[11:51] <Mr_Bad_News> i know this question is stupid but is there any window manager them like in the movies
[11:51] <roe_> jigp, once it finishes, sudo modprobe ath_pci and you are done
[11:51] <zyx386> WalloO, i set the password yet, how can i remove it?
[11:51] <SamDunne> Anyone know what a good GUI C compiler for Hardy is
[11:52] <fo2sh> hi everyone, i have ubuntu 7.10 installed on my Dell Vostro 1000 (amd) laptop...when the system starts up i can't see any splash screen (the animated ubuntu loading), is that normal?
[11:52] <WalloO> zyx386, go in menu->accessories->Passwords and encryption key. I think you will be able to reset keyring password
[11:52] <anolis> how do you connect to a wireless access point via terminal?
[11:52] <WalloO> SamDunne, eclipse
[11:52] <roe_> jigp, you are going to want to make sure you add ath_pci to the list of modules your computer will load at boot time, it used to be just add ath_pci to /etc/modules, but I think they just changed that, some one else might know
[11:52] <anolis> it doesn't always seem to work using nmapplet
[11:52] <WalloO> SamDunne, http://www.eclipse.org,  download the C/C++ dev version
[11:52] <zyx386> WalloO, which menu?
[11:52] <WalloO> zyx386, alt+f1  this menu
[11:53] <zyx386> aha the application
[11:53] <SamDunne> THanks WalloO
[11:53] <WalloO> SamDunne, eclipse if the best for Java , and very good for other programming languages as soon as you add the module for your language
[11:54] <nemo> hey folks. I'd like to unpack a 5+ gigabyte zip in ubuntu.  I'm rather dismayed that the cpio and fileroller for ubuntu do *not* support zip64
[11:54] <SamDunne> Cool. Cheers mate :)
[11:54] <nemo> is there some place I can get that?
[11:54] <zyx386> WalloO, sorry, have nothing to do with my problem, disable password disabled wireless, thanx
[11:54] <``Cube> eh, what's the opposite of compile?
[11:54] <nemo> cpio, fileroller and just the zip util for that matter.
[11:54] <``Cube> make a source code out of a binarry
[11:54] <jeela> When I try to run a media player I get an error:"X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
[11:54] <jeela> "
[11:54] <roe_> nemo, the unzip command should handle it
[11:55] <nemo> roe_: nope.
[11:55] <jigp> roe_ :  install all the packages? in module?i put * there
[11:55] <nemo> roe_: can't zip over 2 gigs either
[11:55] <``Cube> lol, it's decompile
[11:55] <nemo> roe_: and cpio which explicitly supports large zips was not built with that capability in ubuntu
[11:55] <nemo> rather annoying actually
[11:56] <roe_> nemo well that is obnoxious, I use debian, so I guess I don't have that problem
[11:56] <Richwn> i have forgotten the command to shutdown o_o
[11:56] <nemo> roe_: obnoxious? how so?
[11:56] <nemo> roe_: merely statements of fact. your interpretation is rather puzzling
[11:56] <jigp> roe _ : installing madwifi failed :(
[11:56] <Circus-Killer> richwn: sudo shutdown -h now
[11:56] <roe_> nemo, obnoxious that the roll of cpio in ubuntu doesn't have that support
[11:56] <nemo> roe_: when you say you don't have that problem in debian, are you saying you have successfully done a zip with cpio, or zipped a 2 gigabyte + file?
[11:56] <Richwn> you have saved me!
[11:56] <Richwn> huzzah
[11:56] <nemo> roe_: that is a statement of fact
[11:57] <Richwn> i xkilled something i shouldnt have xkilled
[11:57] <anolis> how do you connect to a wireless access point via terminal?
[11:57] <roe_> nemo and mine is a statement of emotion :)
[11:57] <nemo> roe_: I'm here to find out why, and where a package that does it might exist.
[11:57] <nemo> roe_: fine. I can disregard your emotional outburst about me being obnoxious then
[11:57] <jigp> roe_ : but dont typing sudo modprobe ath_pci
[11:57] <nemo> which was rather insulting.
[11:58] <nemo> cpio: invalid archive format `zip'; valid formats are:
[11:58] <nemo> crc newc odc bin ustar tar (all-caps also recognized)
[11:58] <jigp> roe_ : still no wireless options there in the clock portion in the icon monitor
[11:58] <roe_> nemo I think you mis understood my comment, I was not commenting that you were being obnoxious, I was commenting that the limit put in place by the ubuntu maintainers is obnoxious
[11:59] <jigp> roe_: need to restart the pc?
[11:59] <roe_> jigp, no
[11:59] <nemo> roe_: mm. well. I'll happily use the debian package.
[11:59] <nemo> roe_: mind verifying you can zip a 2+ gigabyte archive?
[11:59] <jigp> roe_ : how to connect to my wireless then?
[11:59] <roe_> jigp, lsmod, is ath_pci listed?
[11:59] <jeela> Why do I get an error "X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)" when  I try to run a media layer
[11:59] <Flannel> nemo: Might be worth the time filing a bug too while you're at it
[11:59] <jigp> roe_ : checking
[12:00] <roe_> nemo, would love to, don't happen to have one on hand, will have to create one
[12:00] <nemo> Flannel: I'm sure it'll get to that point.  At moment though, kind of embarassing that I can't pack this file for windows users
[12:00] <Richwn> urgh. not working
[12:00] <TB`> Hi all
[12:00] <nemo> roe_: meh. dd if=/dev/zero of=zeros bs=1M count=2048
[12:01] <Flannel> nemo: file roller can handle zips, also "zip" can too
[12:01] <nemo> roe_: will compress great too :)
[12:01] <jigp> roe_ : this on ath_pci               101024  0
[12:01] <nemo> Flannel: as noted. neither can handle large zips - over 2 gigabytes :-/
[12:01] <Shujah> nemo, >http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/zipunzip-file-too-big-338131/ <-might help
[12:01] <nemo> Flannel: in this case, the initial file was 6.4GiB
[12:01] <roe_> jigp ifconfig -a is there a wifi0?
[12:01] <jigp> roe_ : maybe restart the pc?
[12:01] <jigp> roe_ : checking
[12:01] <roe_> jigp, no. this is not windows, you only have to restart to replace your kernel
[12:02] <nemo> Shujah: cpio should work too, but they suggest 7zip does - if so, that's rather sad given 7zip is just a thin wrapper over the windows blob :-p
[12:02] <Richwn> right, j just need the command to force shutdown
[12:02] <Richwn> sudo shutdown -h didnt work
[12:02] <Shujah> nemo, Remove zip and unzip. Download the source for zip and unzip. Then add -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to the ./configure command. Also do not forget to include largefile option if there is one. < from the link
[12:03] <jigp> roe_ : http://pastebin.com/m3ee2ff2a
[12:03] <Flannel> Richwn: sudo shutdown -h now
[12:03] <dasy2k1> roe_: emm if you have just compiled a wifi modulde then a restart would be needed.... as madwifi can make changes to the kernel
[12:03] <Richwn> Flannel, tried that
[12:03] <Richwn> no effect
[12:03] <Flannel> Richwn: with or without "now"?
[12:03]  * Richwn headdesks
[12:03] <roe_> dasy2k1, loading a kernel module does not require a restart at all
[12:03] <Richwn> i didnt unclude now
[12:04] <nemo> Shujah: heh. yeaaaah, I could also build that support into cpio - was asking in #ubuntu 'cause I was hoping there was a distro package :)
[12:04] <Lusule> when trying to save my nvidia settings to x config file, why does it give the error that it's unable to remove the backup and abort?
[12:04] <Richwn> good catch :)
[12:04] <TB`> Anyone know where I can get Ubuntu 8.10? Can't find it anywhere
[12:04] <Flannel> TB`: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks
[12:04] <jigp> roe_ : http://pastebin.com/m3ee2ff2a  i paste it here the ifconfig -a
[12:04] <roe_> jigp, can you poastbin your lspci output
[12:04] <nemo> Shujah: p7zip-full appears to be working though
[12:04] <nemo> Shujah: thanks for reference.
[12:05] <nemo> Shujah: perhaps should be included in file-roller - files of over 2 gigabytes in size are increasing in this day and age of bloated discs
[12:05] <ocr> I have problems upgrading my ubuntu 8.04 remote server. It seg faults on upgrade (http://pastie.org/233667) with 51 not fully installed packages. I have tried the usual (apt-get -f install/remove, dpkg --force-all -i /var/.../pkg.deb/-r groff-base, aptitude self-upgrade, etc...) suggestions?
[12:05] <Shujah> nemo,   actually  unzip (5.51-2ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low  * Fixed unzip of >2GB files --- what version of unzip do you have
[12:05] <ocr> no iLOM on the server, so cannot update remotely
[12:05] <nemo> Shujah: do believe I'm on hardy + experimental
[12:06] <jigp> roe_: http://pastebin.com/m3f0f3a27
[12:06] <jigp> roe_: http://pastebin.com/m3f0f3a27 - sorry. this is the lspci
[12:06] <Kartagis> my wireless adapters
[12:06] <nemo> Shujah: Zip 2.32 (June 19th 2006). hm. *checks package version*
[12:07] <Lusule> could someone help me with a graphics problem please?  at the moment, everytime i restart i have to reinstall the driver
[12:07] <nemo> Shujah: indeed. 2.32.1
[12:07] <Vegombrei> hi .. i need some help with irssi
[12:07] <nemo> oh. that's zip. *checks unzip*
[12:07] <Harde> How to convert mp4 -> AVi in Avidemux?
[12:07] <nemo> Shujah: 5.52-10ubuntu2
[12:07] <nemo> Shujah: however, when I tried to unpack it I got:
[12:07] <Vegombrei> how do i get it to sign in and stuff automatically ?
[12:08] <nemo> 606356628 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
[12:08] <wols> Illarane: do NOT use interlaced. EVER
[12:08] <Shujah> nemo, weird this version should be patched for unzip > 2Gb
[12:08] <wols> Illarane: and that's not your syncrate
[12:08] <jigp> roe_ : is this correct in lspci 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[12:08] <nemo> Shujah: followed by (attempting to process anyway) start of central directory not found; zipfile corrupt.
[12:08] <roe_> jigp, yes that is the wireless card
[12:08] <Kartagis> my wireless adapter's PCI ID is 168c:001c according to lspci -n output. will 168c:0013 work with my wireless adapter?
[12:08] <roe_> jigp, pastbin your lsmod output
[12:08] <nemo> Shujah: p7zip-full appears to be handling it fine. guess it is time for a bug report.
[12:08] <nemo> as Flannel requested :)
[12:08] <Vegombrei> anyone using irssi here ?
[12:09] <nemo> Vegombrei: who doesn't? :)
[12:09] <redduck676> when i try to play gta2 i get ''video mode 16x16x16 is not available''. any hints?
[12:09] <Vegombrei> nemo: how do i get irssi to automatically sign into this server with my nick ?
[12:09] <Shujah> nemo, thats the  > 2GB problem it's looking for file end signatures within 2gb and failing to do so
[12:10] <Kartagis> i don't use irssi
[12:10] <nemo> Vegombrei: oh. heh. sorry.  I actually identify by hand, when I remember.  I guess #irssi or someone else
[12:10] <jigp> roe_: lsmod http://pastebin.com/m64ad1d51
[12:10] <Shujah> neways back to playing disagea 2 -
[12:10] <Shujah> exit
[12:11] <DistroJockey> redduck676, this is not the best place to ask, but I'm guessing it wants 16 bit rather than the 24 bit you are probably running at
[12:11] <Lusule> i would really appreciate some help with my graphics problem :(
[12:11] <chato> hola
[12:12] <Flannel> Vegombrei: You can set it up with the server set up (see section 5) http://irssi.org/documentation/manual
[12:12] <roe_> jigp, do an rmmod ath_pci, then an modprobe ath_pci and then pastebin that last 20 or so lines of /var/log/syslog
[12:13] <roe_> nemo, it looks like the debian build of 2.32-1 also was not built with that support
[12:13] <nemo> Lusule: only reason I can think of for needing to "reinstall" every time you restart is a kernel module not getting loaded
[12:13] <Lusule> nemo: i'm having all sorts of problems, I think mainly stemming from the fact it doesn't seem able to write to the config properly
[12:14] <nemo> Lusule: what's your card?
[12:14] <Lusule> nemo: geforce 9600
[12:14] <nemo> roe_: p7zip-full did indeed flawlessly unpack
[12:14] <jigp> roe_ : sudo /var/log/syslog is not working..command not found
[12:14] <nemo> Lusule: shouldn't be any problems with that.  8.04 ?
[12:15] <roe_> jigp, sudo tail -n 25 /var/log/syslog
[12:15] <Lusule> nemo: yes, and i know i installed the right driver and i'm pretty sure i installed it properly
[12:15] <Lusule> nemo - but the nvidia settings seem to be completely up the spout
[12:15] <cygoku> Does anyone know why my laptop can't see any SSID ?
[12:15] <roe_> nemo, I'm gonna file a bug with debian about that
[12:15] <Ubuntu-Noob> was wondering if someone could help me, the toolbar on my windows has gone transparent with no border
[12:15] <Ubuntu-Noob> and I cant get it back :o
[12:15] <arvind_khadri> !anyone | cygoku
[12:15] <Ubuntu-Noob> anyone got ne ideas
[12:16] <abbe> hi channel
[12:16] <TB`> 'Lo
[12:16] <nemo> roe_: cool. thanks much.
[12:16]  * abbe is having problem printing PDFs (using Evince) to a local printer
[12:16] <cygoku> What the,...
[12:16] <nemo> roe_: since ubuntu follows debian pretty much, no point in me filing there...
[12:17] <wols> Lusule: did you use nvidia.com drivers or ubuntu ones?
[12:17] <Lusule> wols: nvidia.com ones
[12:17] <roe_> nemo correct
[12:17] <nemo> hah
[12:17] <abbe> when one of my user tries to print any PDF file using Evince, the print job gets held in queue, and I've to manually release it
[12:17] <Lusule> wols: i don't think ubuntu do ones for my card yet
[12:17] <cygoku> I have an laptop Dell Inspiron 6400 and it doesn't detect any SSID, please help.
[12:17] <arvind_khadri> abbe, i remember there was a bug regarding that not sure though
[12:17] <havocstorm> hi
[12:17] <wols> Lusule: then we will not support it. ask #nvidia
[12:17] <havocstorm> does anyone know where I can get some old nvidia drivers?
[12:17] <Lusule> wols: okay thanks :(
[12:17] <nemo> roe_: that being directed at use of nvidia.com btw :)
[12:17] <wols> Lusule: I don't think I agree with you
[12:17] <havocstorm> the one that ubuntu recommends has problems
[12:17] <roe_> nemo, I followed :)
[12:17] <abbe> arvind_khadri: I'm the administrator user, the guy who is printing is an LDAP user
[12:17] <Lusule> wols: agree with what?
[12:18] <havocstorm> whenver I turn it on I hear a high pitched whining from the PC case
[12:18] <havocstorm> can anyone help?
[12:18] <Kartagis> I am trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper but the archive I downloaded has no .sys or .inf. any ideas?
[12:18] <arvind_khadri> abbe, no idea ...
[12:18] <roe_> jigp, any luck with that pastebin?
[12:18] <redduck666> Kartagis: yeah, download different archive
[12:18] <JdGordon> hey all.. I've install hardy on a new pc here and the network card isnt autodetected so i addded the module to /etc/modules, on a reboot it shows eth1 in ifconfig -a but dhclient isnt run so it doesnt get an ip... any ideas how to fix this?
[12:18] <jigp> roe_: http://pastebin.com/m1be332e0 sudo tail -n 25 /var/log/syslog
[12:19] <nemo> roe_: hey. /msg me URL to bug? I'd like to follow if you don't mind
[12:19] <wols> Lusule: agree with thinking ubuntu drivers doesn't support your chip

[12:19] <nixnub> smbd doesn't want to start
[12:19] <arvind_khadri> Kartagis, use your windows driver cd if you have it ;)

[12:20] <jigp> roe_: i mean the command tial -n 25

[12:20] <whileimhere> Hi. I was wondering why it is composting works nativly in the XFCE Desktop but neither Beryle or compiz works in gnome on the same machine.
[12:20] <fantasticmrfox> This channel could use a ticketing system :D
[12:20] <roe_> jigp, join #madwifi and paste the link to your syslog there someone there should be able to help you, I'm in there as well
[12:21] <Flannel> fantasticmrfox: theres a website for that
[12:21] <arvind_khadri> whileimhere, you need to install compiz separately in gnome
[12:22] <whileimhere> arvind_khadri I do have it installed. I have tried both of them but neither work .
[12:23] <arvind_khadri>
[12:23] <crashanddie> Hi, I had a bluetooth problem, so I tried installing the latest bluez packages from source. That didn't change anything, so I tried reverting back to the Ubuntu provided packages, but now hcitool dev doesn't show any devices anymore... What should I do ?
[12:23] <unclemike> dpkg: parse erorr, in file /var/lib/dkpg/status' near line 2005 package gtk2-engines-smooth missing version....... i cant install anything
[12:23] <rgb> crimsun: Hello, you there?
[12:23] <arvind_khadri> whileimhere, hmm fusion-icon??
[12:23] <jigp> ok roe_
[12:24] <arvind_khadri> whileimhere, after installing fusion-icon run it
[12:26] <catnips> is there a beginner's channel for ubuntu?  I understand I can busy myself reading links provided in the auto-greet, but wow - there's a lot of users here!
[12:26] <jigp> catnips : are you from uspolitricks?
[12:27] <catnips> jigp : yes
[12:27] <arvind_khadri> catnips, there is documentation in help and suppot
[12:27] <MatthewV> catnips, if you have a question, just ask it :)
[12:27] <arvind_khadri> catnips, s/suppot/support
[12:27] <jigp> catnips : nice. try install ubuntu.you can dual it for start. my problem now is how to connect wireless..
[12:27] <lyte> can anyone tell me what I have to do to get firefox to recognise a printer once it's in kubuntu's System Settings > Printers ?
[12:27] <fantasticmrfox> Does anyone miss a beat in this channel?
[12:28] <arvind_khadri> lyte, just print automatically
[12:28] <lyte> arvind_khadri, but the printer isn't in the list
[12:28] <catnips> jigp : well, I do actually disks somewhere that I sent off for but it's been a long time
[12:28] <arvind_khadri> lyte, can you see a printer icon on your panel near the clock
[12:29] <lyte> arvind_khadri, no, i've probably removed that applet
[12:29] <AnGeLeuS> server irc.evoirc.org
[12:29] <arvind_khadri> lyte, hmm.. do other apps like OO print??
[12:29] <unclemike> dpkg: parse erorr, in file /var/lib/dkpg/status' near line 2005 package gtk2-engines-smooth missing version....... i cant install anything
[12:30] <arvind_khadri> unclemike, did you play with that??
[12:30] <lyte> arvind_khadri, no, nothing seems to be recognising the printer except for the system settings program
[12:30] <unclemike> no i did not
[12:31] <arvind_khadri> lyte, after plugging in the printer just see what does dmesg | tail offer
[12:31] <Harde> When I try to install Gambas2, it tells me to put cd-rom on. I've got no cd-rom (Hardy) right now, what's wrong?
[12:31] <bringatowel> catnips, ubuntuforums.org is another good place to get started, also feel free to ask whatever questions you have here :)
[12:31] <the9a3eedi> y halo thar. I was following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LightScribe , and I just wanted to know if there's any way to install an x86 RPM package on an amd64 ubuntu system with alien
[12:32] <catnips> bringatowel : I'll check it out, and when I can form a coherent question, I'll do so - thanks :)
[12:32] <lyte> arvind_khadri, argh nvm i put "users" in the group that could use the printer, apparently i'm not in that group
[12:32] <lyte> all fixed
[12:32] <arvind_khadri> lyte, :) oh ok
[12:33] <soundray> unclemike: make a backup of your status file with 'sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status-backup', then restore from the existing backup with 'sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status'
[12:33] <soundray> unclemike: after that it should work again
[12:33] <bringatowel> Harde, if you have the CD, put it in. otherwise, go to System -> Admin -> Software sources, and make sure something is selected for download sources
[12:34] <soundray> unclemike: perhaps check something else first:
[12:34] <Kardoso> Hello all
[12:34] <soundray> unclemike: do a 'df -h' to make sure you haven't got any full disks
[12:34] <CoolFox> anybody know the "three finger salute" for your bringing up a task manager in gnome? akin to ctrl alt del?
[12:34] <bringatowel> !universe the9a3eedi
[12:34] <_jdd_> the9a3eedi: a cursory googling makes it seem like it could be possible, but would probably be pretty challenging to figure out unless it's the type of thing you do every day
[12:34] <bringatowel> !universe | the9a3eedi
[12:35] <bringatowel> !rpm
[12:35] <LSD|Ninja> !apt
[12:35] <Kardoso> I have some questions. Can I ask?
[12:35] <soundray> unclemike: are you there?
[12:35] <soundray> Kardoso: yes
[12:35] <arvind_khadri> !ask | Kardoso
[12:36] <tux_mark_5> hi
[12:36] <LSD|Ninja> Kardoso: no, go away. j/k. Ask away
[12:36] <tux_mark_5> does anyone know the difference between nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new in ubuntu based distros?
[12:36] <Kardoso> LSDNinja: thanks :P
[12:36] <Lusule> still looking for help with some graphics problems :(
[12:36] <arvind_khadri> Kardoso, you seem to have missing fonts :)
[12:36] <Harde> bringatowel: I took cd-option away from sources, all is well now
[12:36] <bringatowel> Lusule, try to explain what the problem is
[12:37] <BoltClock> how long after a new kernel release does it take for the repositories to update to it? im on hardy
[12:37] <Kardoso> I'm a web developer. What can I use in Ubuntu similiar like as Frontpage?
[12:37] <wols> BoltClock: until a new ubuntu version comes out
[12:37] <gordonjcp> Kardoso: web developers don't use Frontpage ;-)
[12:37] <Lusule> bringatowel: i installed the drivers for my nvidia geforce 9600, and i'm trying to use twinview, but i'm having problems with the fact that one monitor is widescreen, the other isn't
[12:37] <Kardoso> :)
[12:37] <soundray> BoltClock: as a rule, kernels won't be updated between releases
[12:37] <BoltClock> gordonjcp: lol whats frontpage /sarcasm
[12:37] <Soul_Sample> anybody experienced with virtualbox?
[12:38] <wols> !anyone | Soul_Sample
[12:38] <soundray> !html | Kardoso
[12:38] <bringatowel> Lusule, have you tried enabling restricted drivers?
[12:38] <Kardoso> Gordonjcp: I'm use another web developer tools too, not just frontpage.
[12:38] <gordonjcp> BoltClock: Frontpage is a Windows-only web editor thing, which leaves very messy code that I charge about 200 quid an hour to put right
[12:38] <Kardoso> But, because I'm starter in Ubuntu I dont know any web developer softwares for Ubuntu
[12:38] <gordonjcp> Kardoso: to be honest I pretty much just use gedit
[12:38] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, gosh you make fortunes !!!!
[12:38] <BoltClock> gordonjcp: lol
[12:38] <Kardoso> Gordonjcp: thanks
[12:39] <_jdd_> Kardoso: HTML isn't too hard to learn. gordonjcp has the right idea.
[12:39] <Kardoso> Gordonjcp: is it similiar like as Notepad for Windows?
[12:39] <BoltClock> wols,soundray: so it is... so ill only get revision updates, x.y.z-20 or x.y.z-21?
[12:39] <BoltClock> Kardoso: nah, it tries to be an IDE. its more comparable to dreamweaver
[12:39] <gordonjcp> Kardoso: I don't know, what's notepad?
[12:39] <soundray> BoltClock: yes
[12:39] <Lusule> bringatowel: i'm also having problems switching desktops
[12:40] <StonedToo> Kardoso: maybe you should try "Screem"
[12:40] <Kardoso> jjd: i know, usually I use Notepad and Dreamweaver. just seldom frontpage
[12:40] <gordonjcp> Kardoso: it does stuff like syntax highlighting and has multiple tabs
[12:40] <Mechdave> Kardoso: Open Office has a html editor in it
[12:40] <jjcv> quit
[12:40] <soundray> Kardoso: did you read what ubottu said ^^
[12:40] <Kardoso> Mechdave: thanks
[12:40] <soundray> !html > Kardoso
[12:40] <bringatowel> Kardoso, all those editors that are mentioned are good to edit HTML, if you want to learn how to host a website as well then learn more about Apache, PHP, and MySQL
[12:40] <BoltClock> Kardoso, personally, i use aptana studio http://www.aptana.com
[12:40] <bringatowel> Lusule, have you tried enabling restricted drivers?
[12:40] <Kardoso> Thanks everyone
[12:41] <bringatowel> or try something like google hosted ;)
[12:41] <Soul_Sample> i have installed windows 95 in virtualbox for sentimental reasons, and the installation went well, everything is okay, but when it was supposed to boot first i just got a garbled display, and the little hd icon reports that there is hd activity, but nothing happens (for about 20min now)... is this some normal initialization or something isn't right?
[12:41] <Kardoso> Something similiar like as Notepad (in windows) enought for me. Thanks, I will try the softwares that you should.
[12:42] <Lusule> bringatowel - i'm using the 17.5 nvidia driver because there aren't any other drivers available for my card yet
[12:42] <havocstorm> hey guys
[12:42] <havocstorm> there's no audio when I play flash stuff from the internet
[12:42] <havocstorm> can anyone help?
[12:42] <European-African> does rhythmbox have many plugins?
[12:42] <rgb> Kardoso...  Notepad is horrible if you are developing a website.
[12:42] <WildOscar> I have this problem in hardy every few minutes the screen freezes any idea
[12:43] <WildOscar> Hardy - running compiz fusion + emerald
[12:43] <Mechdave> havocstorm: Have you got the gstreamer plugins installed?
[12:43] <Kardoso> rgb: yes :( but actually, I only have Notepad and Dreamweaver
[12:43] <havocstorm> lemme check
[12:43] <rgb> So why didn't you use Dreamweaver?
[12:43] <Kardoso> I use it too
[12:43] <rgb> As for webdevelopment on Linux, just use Vim or something.
[12:43] <bringatowel> Lusule, which one is that? it is part of the restricted drivers packages?
[12:44] <Kardoso> I builded my website (HTML, PHP) with Dreamweaver
[12:44] <Lusule> bringatowel - no, those packages don't support my card
[12:44] <rgb> >builded
[12:44] <rgb> No ed.
[12:44] <havocstorm> MechDave, Gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin?
[12:44] <Mechdave> built
