[06:33] <dabaR> Nogimics: when you install a server, and want to configure someting, you look at the config file, usually in /etc/serverName/serv.conf or something
[06:33] <Nogimics> vsftpd was what was suggested, so im gonn have to learn
[06:33] <mattpj1> how do i setup my dsl modem for usb not network card
[06:33] <thomaslsamoht> ooooooooooo
[06:33] <thomaslsamoht> tricky
[06:34] <bimberi> Fletch: rhythmbox is installed, but mp3 codecs are not
[06:34] <dabaR> Nogimics: well, you will want to connect from another computer, using sftp, or ftp over ssh, or something like that.
[06:34] <bimberi> ubotu tell Fletch about mp3
[06:34] <Nogimics> im 2 days in to linux so I ask stupid stuff and dont know whaty im talking about lol
[06:34] <Severian> peej  You are right and you have to go with what suits you.  Ubuntu tries to be quite stable, but fairly up to date.  As much as I am looking forward to a newer kernel with inotify support, I think Ubuntu strikes a good balance.  But, your needs may differ.
[06:34] <dabaR> good
[06:34] <skyll> there are no usb cable modem drivers
[06:34] <skyll> buy a network card
[06:34] <tama> is XFCE on the ubuntu cd?
[06:34] <peej> Severian, today's upgrades download is about 19MB. That's about par if you update breezy daily?
[06:34] <Nogimics> ill look in that dir
[06:34] <thomaslsamoht> yeh man
[06:34] <mattpj1> i said dsl modem i got a network card but i want to use usb
[06:34] <thomaslsamoht> network cards
[06:34] <bimberi> tama:
[06:34] <thomaslsamoht> are like 15 bucks
[06:35] <dabaR> Nogimics: ftp itself does not encrypt passwords, or the files sent, so that is why people use sftp
[06:35] <bimberi> tama: no
[06:35] <thomaslsamoht> save yourself a headache
[06:35] <thomaslsamoht> lol
[06:35] <nemik> so a quick shell scripting question, how can i echo out the current date and time?
[06:35] <mattpj1> i have a network card
[06:35] <Severian> peej, the first few days after I upgraded to Breezy, I had some updates.  But, it is usually quiet.
[06:35] <Nogimics> Yeah I knwo the difference
[06:35] <thomaslsamoht> use it!
[06:35] <mattpj1> i want usb tho im asking not for tips but how to
[06:35] <peej> Severian, thanks
[06:35] <cge> peej: When I was using Breezy I didn't really have any updates after it was released.
[06:35] <thomaslsamoht> skyll said it man
[06:35] <bimberi> nemik: date
[06:35] <Severian> peej, when Breezy was in beta there were lots of 100 package update days.
[06:35] <thomaslsamoht> theres no hope.
[06:35] <intelikey> tama no  but it is in the mmmmm universe repo i think    "sudo apt-get install xfce4
[06:36] <thomaslsamoht> why would you prefer usb over a network cable?
[06:36] <nemik> bimberi, echo "the date is" + date; ?
[06:36] <thomaslsamoht> what are the advantages?
[06:36] <mattpj1> because i wanna use the network card for something else
[06:36] <tama> intelikey, yeah it is, but this pc has no net
[06:36] <mattpj1> it shows up on the usb devices
[06:36] <thomaslsamoht> like a different computer?
[06:36] <peej> ooooh. it's universe. universe updates. ooops.
[06:36] <thomaslsamoht> matt
[06:36] <bimberi> nemik: no, sec....
[06:36] <thomaslsamoht> there are no drivers though
[06:36] <mattpj1> yes like a different comp but no i dont wanna buy a hub
[06:36] <dabaR> nemik: echo 'the date is `date`'
[06:36] <Nogimics> debaR the vsftpd.conf file is in etc, will I be able to configure all users from there and all other settings? I take it this app has no GUI at all and it will be all command line
[06:36] <thomaslsamoht> u could daisy chain
[06:36] <thomaslsamoht> lol
[06:36] <thomaslsamoht> :o
[06:37] <nemik> thanks dabaR
[06:37] <thomaslsamoht> is your other computer windows?
[06:37] <mattpj1> no
[06:37] <bimberi> nemik: or, echo "the date is" $(date)
[06:37] <thomaslsamoht> o okay.
[06:37] <intelikey> well use apt-cache show xfce4   and dl the deb  then  dpkg -i <file.deb>
[06:37] <dabaR> nemik: backquotes, `` are used for command substitution
[06:37] <thomaslsamoht> if your other computer was windows..
[06:37] <thomaslsamoht> you could hook ur dsl modem up to that
[06:37] <mattpj1> i know
[06:37] <thomaslsamoht> and share between computers
[06:37] <thomaslsamoht> yeah..
[06:37] <thomaslsamoht> dude
[06:37] <thomaslsamoht> no drivers = no luck
[06:37] <nemik> dabaRE ahhh ok i was using just '' not ``, makes sense now
[06:37] <mattpj1> but one thing i dont understand why after all these programs on linux dont they have a driver type for usb internet connections?
[06:38] <thomaslsamoht> if there was a way, i'd get my creative zen micro working with linux.
[06:38] <thomaslsamoht> matt
[06:38] <thomaslsamoht> its the maker of the modem
[06:38] <HrdwrBoB> mattpj1: 'usb internet connection' means not much
[06:38] <thomaslsamoht> they don't release their drivers
[06:38] <nemik> thank you both; bimberi and dabaR
[06:38] <bimberi> nemik: np :)
[06:38] <thomaslsamoht> if creative released the drivers for my mp3 player
[06:38] <intelikey> err apt-cache search xfce4   that would be..... no wait no net means that it wont even list things on the web.....  hehhe well tama you'll have to find the file name some other way.
[06:38] <thomaslsamoht> there wouldn't be an issue.
[06:38] <Severian> Nogimics, for configuring vsftp, I find google to be handy.  The biggest problem I have with the package is that the options are not all well documented.  For example, what is the parameter to set the home directory for the anonymous user?
[06:38] <mattpj1> its just said people dont use wine and such for these problems
[06:38] <thomaslsamoht> its the same with your dsl
[06:38] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, what mp3 player
[06:39] <tama> intelikey, yeah :(
[06:39] <thomaslsamoht> creative zen micro
[06:39] <thomaslsamoht> 5gb
[06:39] <nalioth> intelikey: apt-cache searches on the local machine
[06:39] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, I had one worked perfectly
[06:39] <Nogimics> No documentation with a program is terrible
[06:39] <thomaslsamoht> with linux?
[06:39] <mattpj1> thomaslsamoht there more then likely is a way around it i found out how to use my mp3 player on linux called research
[06:39] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, yep
[06:39] <Severian> mattpj1, I use a USB nic on a couple of systems.  They work perfectly in Ubuntu.
[06:39] <bird> hey
[06:39] <intelikey> tama i can't do it for you unless you want an i586.mdk.rpm   version  :)
[06:39] <Nogimics> what is the command to distinguish between files and DIR's again?
[06:40] <thomaslsamoht> severian
[06:40] <bird> how do i tell the terminal to open a program in the GUI?
[06:40] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, its a libnjb that it needs and a program one sec
[06:40] <thomaslsamoht> he wants to plug his dsl modem in directly.
[06:40] <SEJeff> bird: type the command name
[06:40] <Severian> Nogimics, it is not great, but the program works well, so I live with it.
[06:40] <thomaslsamoht> o shizzle.
[06:40] <thomaslsamoht> :D
[06:40] <tama> intelikey, nar, its an old pc i386..
[06:40] <tama> intelikey, thanks anyways
[06:40] <bird> like when i type in xmms it opens it but when i shut the terminal the program closes
[06:40] <thomaslsamoht> i just got my dad and my sister hooked up with ubuntu, but i forgot about my mp3 player lol
[06:40] <mattpj1> if theres a will theres a way is how i look at it
[06:40] <bimberi> Nogimics: file <file>
[06:40] <Severian> thomaslsamoht, I don't understand what you are asking.
[06:41] <bird> how do i tell it to only open it in the gui
[06:41] <nalioth> SEJeff: hope you have a parachute
[06:41] <thomaslsamoht> severian u said ur usb nic worked with ubuntu
[06:41] <thomaslsamoht> he wants to plug the dsl modem in with usb
[06:41] <thomaslsamoht> no network cables.
[06:41] <thomaslsamoht> its different
[06:41] <bird> like run instead of run in terminal
[06:41] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, ok gnomad2 with the program
[06:41] <Nogimics> I found a command that sepearate them by colour, cannot remember it
[06:41] <SEJeff> nalioth: Will it break that bad so soon? :-)
[06:41] <thomaslsamoht> machine
[06:41] <thomaslsamoht> gnomad supports the zen ?
[06:41] <Severian> thomaslsamoht, Yes, I have 3 different USB nics and they work perfectly.  I just plug them in and they come up.
[06:41] <thomaslsamoht> yeah..
[06:41] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, yes it dose
[06:41] <thomaslsamoht> but he doesn't want to use one
[06:41] <thomaslsamoht> o sweet
[06:41] <nalioth> SEJeff: right now it's pretty much breezy, but your thrill ride will improve
[06:42] <thomaslsamoht> i didn't even guess machine
[06:42] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, did you upgrade the firmware
[06:42] <thomaslsamoht> to what?
[06:42] <thomaslsamoht> playsforsure?
[06:42] <MachineScrew> 2.somthing
[06:42] <thomaslsamoht> never
[06:42] <thomaslsamoht> lol
[06:42] <bigfoot1> anybody in this chatroom use multysync, if you do, let me know.
[06:42] <thomaslsamoht> yeah its 2.11 or something
[06:42] <intelikey> bird you mean you want to start an app without it being tied to the terminal.....
[06:42] <SEJeff> nalioth: Well I'll need it when work on vSecurity picks up more
[06:42] <bird> yes
[06:42] <MachineScrew> ok then you are fine it works flawlessly
[06:42] <Severian> thomaslsamoht, Mine are all older USB nics.  They are all USB 1.1.  One is siemens and uses a pegasus chip.  One is dlink and one is Linksys.
[06:42] <bird> intelikey ya
[06:42] <SEJeff> nalioth: My goal is <5 suid root binaries in dapper
[06:43] <bird> intelikey i used spropos but the list was WAY too long
[06:43] <SEJeff> nalioth: vSec will allow that
[06:43] <thomaslsamoht> severian u don't get me... he doesn't want a nic, he wants to take one end of a usb cable, plug it into his dsl modem, and the other end, into a usb port on the comp
[06:43] <nalioth> SEJeff: you have fun
[06:43] <thomaslsamoht> no nic at all
[06:43] <SEJeff> of course
[06:43] <dabaR> bird: appName&
[06:43] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, they was an experiment to make a gnome-vfs extionsion so it can be used in Rythmbox
[06:43] <thomaslsamoht> mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[06:43] <WhiteRabbit> how is the enjoyment of 5.10 going?
[06:44] <thomaslsamoht> machine
[06:44] <thomaslsamoht> is it neutrino
[06:44] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, so fire up apt-get install gnomad2 and you will be able to have the mp3 goodness
[06:44] <thomaslsamoht> or gnomad?
[06:44] <Nogimics> Ooo vsftpd allows annoymous access by default :(
[06:44] <thomaslsamoht> i use synaptic
[06:44] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, eather
[06:44] <thomaslsamoht> i got it already.
[06:44] <thomaslsamoht> :D
[06:44] <Severian> thomaslsamoht, Oh, that sounds like a bad idea.  I did not get that.  I would not want such a setup for myself.
[06:44] <intelikey> dabar that will fork it into the back ground but if you close the term it will still close the app.    correct ?
[06:44] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, both use libnjb
[06:44] <farruinn> intelikey: yes
[06:45] <dabaR> intelikey: maybe, never use it myself
[06:45] <thomaslsamoht> libnjb5
[06:45] <thomaslsamoht> thats what it is.
[06:45] <intelikey> dabar that was not what he asked.
[06:45] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, that is a lib to access the USB Jukebox
[06:45] <farruinn> intelikey: ps fax will show you this
[06:46] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, its needed to comunicate with any Creative Jukebox Nomad or Zen
[06:46] <dabaR> bird: apps>sound&video>xmms. or alt+f2(Ithink) xmms
[06:46] <PhantomGryphon> hi
[06:46] <thomaslsamoht> its a new zen..
[06:46] <thomaslsamoht> zen micro..
[06:46] <thomaslsamoht> :l
[06:46] <thomaslsamoht> i just fired it up
[06:46] <thomaslsamoht> its not working
[06:46] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, ya it will work I had one last month
[06:47] <dabaR> thomaslsamoht: can you please read the msg from ubotu?
[06:47] <farruinn> bird: xmms should pop up in a menu, it's in main
[06:47] <thomaslsamoht> could not open jukebox, usb_set_configuration: operation not permitted
[06:48] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, ok run gksudo then the program you are using
[06:48] <thomaslsamoht> that was with gnomad2 2.8.0
[06:48] <thomaslsamoht> OOOOOOOOOOOO SNAP
[06:48] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, there are some known issues with that you need to run as root there is a work around but ..
[06:48] <thomaslsamoht> machine
[06:48] <thomaslsamoht> let me
[06:48] <thomaslsamoht> <3 u
[06:48] <thomaslsamoht> for 5 mins here
[06:49] <thomaslsamoht> thanks a lot man
[06:49] <dabaR> !+enter
[06:49] <ubotu> don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It's annoying and spams the channel. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
[06:49] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, ??
[06:49] <thomaslsamoht> sry dabar..
[06:49] <_jaypee> hello, i have amd sempron2, can i use k7 kernel?
[06:49] <dabaR> thats ok
[06:49] <thomaslsamoht> its not like theres a major convo going on..
[06:49] <thomaslsamoht> chill
[06:49] <_jaypee> or should i use 686 kernel
[06:49] <mattpj1> thomaslsamoht what was that about mp3 player ? cant use that kinda stuff on linux huh ?
[06:49] <thomaslsamoht> i know i spammed earlier
[06:49] <thomaslsamoht> matt i didn't think the drivers were released.
[06:49] <thomaslsamoht> or w/e
[06:49] <thomaslsamoht> leave
[06:50] <MachineScrew> mattpjl he didn't know
[06:50] <dabaR> _jaypee: well 686 is p4, so likely not that
[06:51] <_jaypee> thanks dabar
[06:51] <thomaslsamoht> yo machine, it does everything but play off the player.
[06:51] <thomaslsamoht> thats not working.
[06:51] <bird> farruinn it was just an example
[06:51] <thomaslsamoht> i don't care if it plays off the player anyways.
[06:51] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, ya well what you want egg in your beer ?
[06:51] <bird> farruinn i was just curious
[06:51] <MachineScrew> lol
[06:52] <Severian> dabaR, 686 is Pentium Pro and later
[06:52] <farruinn> bird: ok, I wasn't really following the conversation
[06:52] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, try the other one
[06:52] <thomaslsamoht> neutrino..
[06:52] <thomaslsamoht> aye..
[06:52] <MachineScrew> ya
[06:52] <farruinn> bird: alt+f2 is handy, there's also a gnome applet you can add to your panel that allows you to type in commands and run them
[06:52] <MachineScrew> though I don't know y you would want to
[06:53] <dabaR> bird: try right clicking on the panel, and add a little command line, I cant remember what it is called.
[06:53] <intelikey> farruinn yes very good call there
[06:53] <dabaR> eh
[06:53] <thomaslsamoht> yeah neutrino didn't work.
[06:54] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, ok well hey you can copy and delete and Name the thing thats more than you had lol
[06:54] <thomaslsamoht> yeh i know
[06:54] <thomaslsamoht> i never played off of it with the creative software anyways.
[06:54] <Nuxvomica> hello
[06:54] <thomaslsamoht> thats dumb.
[06:54] <Nuxvomica> is the ubuntu iso cd just one? there's no disk 2,etc?
[06:54] <thomaslsamoht> besides amarok is 50x better than that
[06:54] <Nuxvomica> how complete is it?
[06:54] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, if you can figure it out compile Lsongs
[06:54] <dabaR> Nuxvomica: yes.
[06:54] <Severian> Nuxvomica, Just the one
[06:54] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, it works with it
[06:55] <dabaR> Nuxvomica: would you like a percentage or a number for the completeness?
[06:55] <thomaslsamoht> lsongs..
[06:55] <thomaslsamoht> i don't care
[06:55] <thomaslsamoht> too much trouble
[06:55] <intelikey> Nuxvomica it will get you in gnome and on the net.
[06:55] <Nuxvomica> dabaR: just what apps are in there, etc.
[06:55] <thomaslsamoht> besides, i'm going to nuke this installation for a x32
[06:55] <dabaR> thomaslsamoht: Im gonna tell a bot to boot yiou, please stop pressing enter that much.
[06:55] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, ok well if you have enough song great
[06:55] <Nuxvomica> intelikey: thanks
[06:55] <bimberi> Nuxvomica: firefox, evolution, openoffice
[06:55] <Nuxvomica> bimberi: thanks
[06:55] <bimberi> .org (sorry) ...
[06:55] <MachineScrew> I decided to stick with a cd mp3 player
[06:55] <thomaslsamoht> superiority complex
[06:56] <arthur> help, i cannot view my files of others partitions
[06:56] <MachineScrew> cost per MB is less than the Zen
[06:56] <arthur> i recent instaled ubuntu
[06:56] <dabaR> Nuxvomica: visit the site, it has a lot of info likely. and also you can get a dvd, and also you can get all the other apps through the internet after you i nstall.
[06:56] <Nuxvomica> how is ntfs support in linux? is it stable?
[06:56] <dabaR> no write
[06:56] <thomaslsamoht> yeah..
[06:56] <thomaslsamoht> but cd players are big..
[06:56] <dabaR> arthur: have you mounted the other partition, and is the other drive windows?
[06:56] <intelikey> Nuxvomica the cli end of it is pretty complete, if you are a hardened pinguin pusher.
[06:56] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, I like it that way
[06:57] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, I don't have to wory about compatibility
[06:57] <thomaslsamoht> i'm not going to lie i have a nice cdmp3 player too.. the only reason i don't use it as much is because it holds less
[06:57] <daaku> anyone here using a bluetooth mouse? i just setup a new machine, and the mouse worked initially, but somehow it stopped working now
[06:57] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, I am going to get a Zire 31
[06:57] <thomaslsamoht> and it doesn't have radio
[06:57] <Severian> Nuxvomica, there is write access available, of a sort.  The Knoppix CD has an interesting way of doing it.  But, most distros just do read.
[06:57] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, it plays ogg
[06:57] <Nuxvomica> intelikey: used to have rh 6.1 back in 98(?). went to win32. now linux again. for good.
[06:57] <thomaslsamoht> ooooooooo nice.
[06:58] <thomaslsamoht> i never had any songs in ogg
[06:58] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, I never listen to the radio
[06:58] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, I have
[06:58] <thomaslsamoht> well i live outside toronto, i have lots of radio options
[06:58] <thomaslsamoht> ;)
[06:58] <arthur> dabaR: there is 3 icons in "desktop" of ubuntu: hda1 hda5 and hda7 but when i try to acess hda1 nad hda5 they tell me that i dont have permission to access these
[06:58] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, ha I listen to a show in Canida
[06:58] <thomaslsamoht> ooooooooooo arthur
[06:58] <intelikey> yeah Nuxvomica ub will be a good transitional distro for you on the way to debian   lol
[06:58] <dabaR> arthur: what are they? windows?
[06:58] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, RantRadio
[06:58] <thomaslsamoht> i just solved that problem on one of my comps like  yesterday
[06:59] <thomaslsamoht> you need to change the owner
[06:59] <arthur> dabaR: hda1 probaly ntfs windows but hda7 probally is a fat32 partition that i created in ubuntu instalation
[06:59] <thomaslsamoht> arthur do you know how to enable root logons?
[06:59] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, ya I listen to Sean Kennedy
[06:59] <bojohan> hello. anyone familiar with "oprofile" package breakage during dist-upgrade?
[06:59] <dabaR> arthur: have you tried the automount script? Ubotu will tell you about it.
[06:59] <arthur> thomaslsamoht, not
[06:59] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, though you probly haven't heard of him
[07:00] <thomaslsamoht> no.
[07:00] <thomaslsamoht> lol
[07:00] <Nuxvomica> intelikey: so debian's still top?
[07:00] <pepsi> .
[07:00] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, install fakeroot
[07:00] <arthur> dabaR: i will try
[07:00] <thomaslsamoht> arthur go to system -> administration -> logon screen setup -> security -> enable root logons with GDM
[07:00] <thomaslsamoht> then in terminal
[07:00] <budluva> how do i find what package libpng.so.2 is in?
[07:00] <thomaslsamoht> type um..
[07:00] <dabaR> thomaslsamoht: there is no need for him to log in as root.
[07:00] <thomaslsamoht> yeah..
[07:00] <dabaR> that is a poor solution.
[07:01] <thomaslsamoht> i know i find it simpler though
[07:01] <thomaslsamoht> w/e
[07:01] <thomaslsamoht> tell him
[07:01] <thomaslsamoht> to change owner
[07:01] <nadien> erver ircchat.terra.cl 7000
[07:01] <nalioth> thomaslsamoht: using the enter key for puntuation is another form of spamming
[07:01] <thomaslsamoht> chown never worked out for me
[07:01] <DShepherd> thomaslsamoht: you are spamming.....type wat you want to say then press enter
[07:01] <MachineScrew> arthur, whats the problem
[07:02] <dabaR> thomaslsamoht: not only spamming, but also makes it harder to read what you are saying, and annoys people.
[07:02] <propagandhi> thomaslsamoht: then you didnt use it right, or read the man page on it
[07:02] <dabaR> arthur: try that script, if it does not work, you will have to modify the /etc/fstab file manually.
[07:02] <Nuxvomica> thanks guys
[07:02] <intelikey> Nuxvomica there is a l33t stigma attached to it but i really can't tell a nickles worth of differance in distros  they all have their high and low points.....
[07:02] <MachineScrew> propagandhi, the man pages are not install by default
[07:02] <Nuxvomica> intelikey: ok i get it. linux is linux. :) thanks.
[07:02] <DjKritical> Does anyone know how to enable an apache2 vertual host
[07:03] <farruinn> Nuxvomica: I like debian, but I like ubuntu more because of it's 6 month release cycle (as opposed to 3 years!)
[07:03] <intelikey> you bet.
[07:03] <propagandhi> MachineScrew: ok, I didnt realise
[07:03] <thomaslsamoht> u could always ignore me if you find me annoying.
[07:03] <MachineScrew> arthur, what are you trying to do
[07:03] <thomaslsamoht> ur the only one complaining.
[07:03] <dabaR> ok, whatever.
[07:03] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, thats not the point
[07:03] <dabaR> exactly.
[07:03] <dabaR> well...
[07:03] <thomaslsamoht> ur doing it right now.
[07:03] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, the ops could kick you if they wanted to
[07:04] <arthur> dabaR: the partitions apper in desktop but i cannot access, i get a error message: you dont have necessary permission to see this
[07:04] <thomaslsamoht> difference is machine i don't care :L i don't think i'm causing a problem.
[07:04] <Nuxvomica> farruinn: i like debian too. and openbsd. but im gravitating towards pretty distros now. i know i want to have debian and openbsd someday.
[07:04] <dabaR> arthur: I understand, the script could help you. how did you make them appear anyhow?
[07:04] <DShepherd> thomaslsamoht: well you are
[07:04] <MachineScrew> arthur, do a sudo chmod +777 /dev/the partion
[07:04] <propagandhi> thomaslsamoht: how much do you want to remain here
[07:04] <thomaslsamoht> why make it globally writable?
[07:04] <MachineScrew> arthur, that should work
[07:05] <arthur> dabaR, they auto appear
[07:05] <intelikey> MachineScrew ?   what is this for " sudo chmod +777 /dev/the partion "  ???
[07:05] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, I did that on a removable drive and it makes it so every one can see it
[07:05] <nalioth> thomaslsamoht: obviously from all the folks pointing out your punctuation style.. you are.
[07:05] <propagandhi> thomaslsamoht: treat people with respect perhaps even read the COC
[07:05] <dabaR> MachineScrew: not really. cause they are not his, and especially, 777 for ntfs is not a great idea.
[07:05] <nemik> anyone tried ubuntu with one of those tiny via EPIA motherboards? did/does it work ok?
[07:05] <MachineScrew> intelikey, so arthur can write to the partions
[07:06] <thomaslsamoht> make it writable for his group
[07:06] <dabaR> MachineScrew: as well, it is not mounted at /dev/somewhere, anyhow.
[07:06] <thomaslsamoht> aka: user
[07:06] <intelikey> you trying to format it or something ?
[07:06] <MachineScrew> ntfs isn't writable in linux
[07:06] <MachineScrew> or not stable
[07:06] <dabaR> haha, user aka group:)))
[07:06] <thomaslsamoht> its a vfat partition
[07:06] <MachineScrew> I wouldn't trust it
[07:06] <arthur> MachineScrew, the command didnt work
[07:06] <MachineScrew> well then there shouldn't be a problem
[07:07] <MachineScrew> arthur, did you unmount
[07:07] <dabaR> arthur: I would run that script to start. then I would come back..and ask for more help if it does not work.
[07:07] <thomaslsamoht> well i can tell him how to fix it dabar
[07:07] <deFrysk> thomaslsamoht, set it to user,umask=000  0 0 in fstab
[07:07] <MachineScrew> arthur, try umount the remount it
[07:07] <deFrysk> or whoever wants access
[07:07] <thomaslsamoht> get him to logon with root and do it with gnome
[07:07] <dabaR> arthur: listen to deFrysk ^
[07:08] <arthur> MachineScrew, the unmount didnt work too
[07:08] <thomaslsamoht> o i thought it was set in fstab right, but it was owned by root
[07:08] <MachineScrew> dabaR, all partions are listed in /dev/ if they exisit
[07:08] <kestas> guys ssh-add isn't remembering my passphrase
[07:08] <Severian> memik, have you?
[07:08] <deFrysk> dabaR, it gives automount and acces
[07:08] <kestas> but I dont know why
[07:08] <MachineScrew> arthur, did you run that script that they tell you to run ?
[07:09] <dabaR> MachineScrew: but you are trying to modify the folder where it is mounted, not the file that represents the device, but I am really not up for discussion on this, m too tired. and I dont know about it anyhow.
[07:09] <arthur> MachineScrew, no
[07:09] <thomaslsamoht> defrysk if its owned by root then there is still a problem isn't there?
[07:09] <dabaR> thomaslsamoht: no.
[07:09] <MachineScrew> arthur, they seem to think it will work
[07:09] <thomaslsamoht> ahhh
[07:09] <thomaslsamoht> i don't even remember how i fixed that on my installation
[07:09] <dabaR> MachineScrew: yes, that what deFrysk said will for sure.
[07:09] <MachineScrew> dabaR, you need permison on the device
[07:10] <dabaR> no on the folder, afaik, but really, I dont want to discuss this. I dont know ultimately.
[07:10] <thomaslsamoht> if the mountpoint is shared with his group that would also work if his fstab is set to user
[07:10] <MachineScrew> dabaR, on my usb HD formated with ext3 chmoding the target dir or any dir won't work
[07:10] <dabaR> nhever does
[07:10] <thomaslsamoht> o yeh machine
[07:10] <thomaslsamoht> i have a question for you
[07:11] <treitter> has anyone built X.org from source recently?
[07:11] <MachineScrew> dabaR, but works perfectly when I chmod +777 /dev/sda1
[07:11] <thomaslsamoht> i have a removable hard drive case, scsi, but i couldn't make an installation to it. why is that?
[07:11] <dabaR> MachineScrew: cool, thanks for letting me know.
[07:11] <MachineScrew> dabaR, I would do 666 but thats to evil
[07:11] <intelikey> user only allows mount/umount to be on a user specific basis,   umask= will affect read/write permissions.
[07:12] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, like with CDs that use syslinux so dose USB drives
[07:12] <dabaR> night all, consider that enter transition to space, thomaslsamoht really helps with readability.
[07:12] <thomaslsamoht> so you can't just do a regular install to it?
[07:12] <arthur> dabaR, i tried the first commands in url but they didnt work... should i try the "Mounting partitions manually" ?
[07:12] <dabaR> arthur: listen to deFrysk above.
[07:12] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, I don't know why that is
[07:13] <thomaslsamoht> o well.
[07:13] <thomaslsamoht> dabar i already told you to ignore me.
[07:13] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, do a ubuntu install on it but don't install grub when it asks just reboot
[07:13] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, then run syslinux on it unmounted
[07:14] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, thats supposed to work if not google is your friend in this case
[07:14] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, DSL dose it look at that
[07:14] <arthur> dabaR, sorry i get lost
[07:14] <intelikey> arthur "sudo mount /dev/hd?# /<mount.point> -o umask=0 "     and remember not to write to ntfs anymore than absolutly needed.
[07:14] <thomaslsamoht> i already decided against using it for a OS anyways, basically i just wanted it to have one hard drive with a vfat to have all my movies/music on it to take between houses
[07:15] <da_bon_bon> hi all
[07:15] <thomaslsamoht> but then i would have to dualboot using only one internal hard drive which i'm not really interested in
[07:15] <arthur> intelikey, this works to fat32 partitions ?
[07:15] <da_bon_bon> anyone got breezy cd from shipit ?
[07:15] <da_bon_bon> i want to see what it looks like
[07:15] <thomaslsamoht> arthur the only filesystem you can't write to in linux is ntfs
[07:15] <MachineScrew> thomaslsamoht, you could conseviably use Xen to boot it
[07:16] <thomaslsamoht> da bon bon i ordered mine 2 weeks ago
[07:16] <da_bon_bon> thomaslsamoht: arent there tools that allow you to write to ntfs ?
[07:16] <thomaslsamoht> it took like 2 months to get my hoary cds
[07:16] <da_bon_bon> thomaslsamoht: you recived ?
[07:16] <arthur> i dont want to write to ntfs, i just want to read then.. and i have a fat32 partition that i want to read and write!
[07:16] <MachineScrew> goodnight
[07:16] <thomaslsamoht> not yet.
[07:16] <deFrysk> captive-ntfs seems to be able to write to ntfs-partitions
[07:16] <thomaslsamoht> ntfs writing is bad.
[07:16] <thomaslsamoht> :l
[07:16] <nalioth> ubotu: tell arthur about mountwindows
[07:16] <Tomcat_> captive-ntfs is said to be slow :)
[07:17] <thomaslsamoht> i wouldn't mind if writing was slow, i just don't want it nuking a partition
[07:17] <thomaslsamoht> lol
[07:17] <mikecere> does anyone know if it's possible to have more than one wireless NIC through ndis-wrapper ?
[07:17] <arthur> nalioth, i dont know how to execute scripts!
[07:17] <nalioth> arthur: the file has instructions (most good shell scripts do)
[07:18] <thomaslsamoht> hes only been using linux for like 2 days
[07:18] <bird> farruinn thanks, i am going to have to set that to my launcher pannel somehow (the alt+f2 thing)
[07:18] <Severian> thomaslsamoht, try knoppix if you just need to do a little repair on an ntfs partition.  They have a driver that wraps the windows drived on the hard drive and loads it.  Then it uses the windows code to write the ntfs.
[07:18] <thomaslsamoht> oooooooo sounds fancy
[07:18] <thomaslsamoht> i don't have any ntfs partitions anymore anyways
[07:19] <thomaslsamoht> i was just trying to help art- out
[07:19] <bird> farruinn nvm i will just wright it down in a text file
[07:19] <arthur> nalioth,  the script didnt worked!
[07:19] <da_bon_bon> so.. no one recived breezy shipit cd ?
[07:19] <Severian> mikecere, sure, there must be hundreds of people doing it at the same time worldwide.  Maybe thousands.
[07:19] <wickedpuppy> da_bon_bon, not yet
[07:19] <bojohan> dist-upgrade broke half-way through. what should i do now? (i've been getting lots and lots of "warning: Setting locale failed" too).
[07:19] <da_bon_bon> wickedpuppy: ok
[07:19] <arthur> look:
[07:19] <deFrysk> da_bon_bon, minimum of 6 weeks to wait
[07:19] <mikecere> Severian, thanks :-P
[07:19] <arthur> Ignoring /dev/hda1 - already in /etc/fstab
[07:19] <arthur> error: libhal_device_get_property_type: org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchDevice: No device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_3_5
[07:19] <arthur> Ignoring /dev/hda5 - already in /etc/fstab

[07:19] <da_bon_bon> deFrysk: why so ?
[07:20] <thomaslsamoht> uh oh..
[07:20] <deFrysk> da_bon_bon, keeps you quit for a few weeks now while waiting ;)
[07:20] <deFrysk> quite*
[07:20] <da_bon_bon> you mean quiet
[07:20] <da_bon_bon> :P
[07:20] <deFrysk> yes :D
[07:20] <thomaslsamoht> lol.
[07:20] <deFrysk> darn ainglese
[07:20] <wickedpuppy> not quite quiet huh ?
[07:20] <deFrysk> quit
[07:20] <deFrysk> e
[07:20] <deFrysk> ;p
[07:21] <thomaslsamoht> defrysk are you quebeccor or french?
[07:21] <da_bon_bon> lol, wickedpuppy :)
[07:21] <nalioth> ubotu: tell arthur about paste
[07:21] <deFrysk> thomaslsamoht, dutch so not too far off ;p
[07:21] <thomaslsamoht> o.
[07:21] <deFrysk> Frisian to be presice (not as in cow)
[07:21] <arthur> nalioth,  ?
[07:22] <wickedpuppy> arthur, read ya pm pls :P
[07:22] <hav0k> can someone help me with CUPS
[07:22] <hav0k> i dont know what im doing...
[07:23] <wickedpuppy> hav0k, we also don't know what ya doing ...
[07:23] <arthur> the script and commands didnt worke... what now?
[07:23] <thomaslsamoht> havok is the printer on your computer, or another computer on your network?
[07:23] <wickedpuppy> arthur, can paste ya mount output on the paste site that the bot showed ya ?
[07:23] <hav0k> right into my computer
[07:24] <thomaslsamoht> and you want to share it with other computers?
[07:24] <hav0k> no, i just want to get it installed for this computer
[07:24] <thomaslsamoht> o.
[07:24] <thomaslsamoht> u needs cups server
[07:24] <arthur> wickedpuppy, ok
[07:24] <thomaslsamoht> i don't know the package name
[07:24] <hav0k> oh
[07:24] <thomaslsamoht> i dont' serve
[07:25] <arthur> the paste is in the site
[07:25] <hav0k> i guess ill look
[07:25] <wickedpuppy> arthur, the url pls :P
[07:25] <arthur> wickedpuppy,  http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4001
[07:25] <thomaslsamoht> o and havok
[07:25] <hav0k> yeah
[07:25] <thomaslsamoht> make sure you remember to share the printer too
[07:25] <hav0k> okay
[07:26] <hav0k> haha, if i ever get it set up
[07:26] <thomaslsamoht> its one thing to have cups
[07:26] <hav0k> ive been working on this for like 3 hours
[07:26] <thomaslsamoht> let me search for you.
[07:26] <hav0k> alright...
[07:26] <wickedpuppy> eh arthur ... just mount
[07:26] <farruinn> fyi for the channel: the xsessions ending in .desktop can only run one executable.  If you want a customized session, you have to write a separate script and have the .desktop file execute that
[07:26] <arthur> wickedpuppy, how?
[07:27] <thomaslsamoht> k havok
[07:27] <thomaslsamoht> its cupsys
[07:27] <wickedpuppy> mount ?
[07:27] <hav0k> apt-get install cupsys?
[07:27] <wickedpuppy> just type mount and see what ya get
[07:27] <thomaslsamoht> yeah
[07:27] <arthur> wickedpuppy, yep
[07:27] <hav0k> hmm, its already the latest version it says... haha
[07:27] <thomaslsamoht> then ur set up..
[07:28] <hav0k> but i still cant use the printer
[07:28] <thomaslsamoht> go to system -> settings -> printers
[07:28] <thomaslsamoht> system -> administrator
[07:28] <thomaslsamoht> my bad
[07:28] <hav0k> yeah
[07:28] <hav0k> i knew what you meaned
[07:28] <hav0k> and add printer
[07:28] <thomaslsamoht> m hrm
[07:28] <arthur> wickedpuppy, ?
[07:28] <wickedpuppy> eh arthur the output is same as what you just pasted ?
[07:29] <thomaslsamoht> i'm out guys.
[07:29] <hav0k> later
[07:29] <arthur> wickedpuppy, yep
[07:29] <wickedpuppy> eh mount has the info i need
[07:30] <wickedpuppy> i need the mount output ... not the fdisk -l of each hda*
[07:30] <arthur> wickedpuppy, and??
[07:31] <wickedpuppy> arthur, are you going to paste the mount output ?
[07:32] <arthur> wickedpuppy, but the partitions are mounted but i cannot access then!
[07:32] <_Caleb_> one question
[07:32] <budluva> what do i need to install to get this fixed???? ImportError: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:32] <_Caleb_> does ubuntu have phpsysinfo?
[07:32] <wickedpuppy> arthur, can i see the mount output ?
[07:32] <budluva> i've tried apt searching for this package but it doesnt exist
[07:32] <jesse_> quick question, to add rounded corners to a theme i add ... ?
[07:32] <farruinn> arthur: do you have the users option in your /etc/fstab/
[07:32] <_Caleb_> does revdep-rebuild work on ubuntu?
[07:32] <bojohan> can anyone help with this one? http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4002
[07:32] <arthur> wickedpuppy, what are users options?
[07:33] <wickedpuppy> _Caleb_, they have
[07:33] <_Caleb_> phpsysinfo on ubuntu does it exist?
[07:33] <_Caleb_> ahh
[07:33] <_Caleb_> hmmm
[07:33] <budluva> caleb ya it should
[07:33] <wickedpuppy> _Caleb_, add universe and multiverse
[07:33] <_Caleb_> how?
[07:33] <arthur> farruinn,  what are users options?
[07:33] <wickedpuppy> arthur, thats farruinn question
[07:33] <_Caleb_> im new to ubuntu
[07:33] <_Caleb_> im use to Gentoo
[07:33] <arthur> wickedpuppy, sorry
[07:33] <wickedpuppy> !repos
[07:33] <Aven> hey, what's the apt-get file again?
[07:33] <wickedpuppy> !repositories
[07:33] <ubotu> How to add repositories:  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto See !sources for example soruces.list
[07:33] <Aven> *where's
[07:33] <arthur> wickedpuppy, did you saw http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4001 ?
[07:34] <wickedpuppy> yes arthur
[07:34] <farruinn> arthur: if you include users as an option then any user may mount and access the drive
[07:34] <wickedpuppy> but i need mount output
[07:34] <Aven> Ahh. nm hehe
[07:35] <wickedpuppy> _Caleb_, use the guide ubotu showed ya :P
[07:35] <cafuego> Aven: Did you get that ircd compiled & installed?
[07:35] <arthur> wickedpuppy, i tried to unmount but ubuntu tells me that only root can unmount!
[07:35] <hav0k> hey, im trying to add a printer that wasnt on the list... anyone help me?
[07:35] <farruinn> arthur: that's because you mounted the drive as root
[07:35] <wickedpuppy> arthur, i din't ask you to mount or umount anything
[07:35] <wickedpuppy> aryo
[07:35] <Aven> cafuego: oh yeah :)
[07:35] <esc_ape> so, besides xchat...whats a good irc client?
[07:35] <Aven> thanks
[07:36] <farruinn> esc_ape: screen+irssi
[07:36] <wickedpuppy> esc_ape, kvirc , erc , irssi , bitchx
[07:36] <cafuego> Aven: You left earlier before I could tell you about 'checkinstall'.
[07:36] <esc_ape> whats the best? :)
[07:36] <Aven> I had to install build-essential
[07:36] <arthur> farruinn, how i can login as root without reeboting?
[07:36] <Severian> arthur,  he just wants you to go to a terminal prompt and type     mount
[07:36] <Aven> just use sudoo
[07:36] <mustard5> arthur, sudo -s
[07:36] <Aven> *sudo
[07:36] <cafuego> Aven: Yes, but checkinstall allows you to build to a .deb package; so you don't get mess all over the filesystem.
[07:37] <_Caleb_> well
[07:37] <Aven> Ah, cool :)
[07:37] <farruinn> arthur: no need to login, simply do "sudo umount <mount>"
[07:37] <_Caleb_> its just the server install
[07:37] <_Caleb_> so
[07:37] <_Caleb_> ?
[07:37] <arthur> Severian, ok now i got....
[07:37] <budluva> anyone here installed the game Savage properly yet?
[07:38] <mustard5> sorry guys..wasnt following that
[07:38] <arthur> wickedpuppy, sorry i had not used linux before im a very newbe
[07:38] <cafuego> !info savage
[07:38] <arthur> wickedpuppy, i mounted now.. should i paste to site?
[07:38] <mshade> Shadowline: finally got it.
[07:38] <mustard5> :)
[07:38] <_Caleb_> anyone?
[07:38] <mshade> 1600x1200
[07:38] <_Caleb_> lol
[07:39] <mustard5> arthur, the mount ON ITS OWN prints out some information that wickedpuppy wants... just type mount alone and hit enter :)
[07:39] <arthur> mustard5, i did!
[07:39] <wickedpuppy> yes arthur pls .. paste .. and tell us the url so we could see how ya partitions are mounted
[07:39] <farruinn> _Caleb_: what's your question?
[07:40] <_Caleb_> im using the ubuntu server so theres no gui
[07:40] <_Caleb_> just wondering how to add more repos
[07:40] <arthur> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4003
[07:40] <_Caleb_> so i can get phpsysinfo
[07:40] <mustard5> arthur, k
[07:40] <_Caleb_> or update past 5.04
[07:40] <cafuego> _Caleb_: try 'apt-setup'
[07:40] <arthur> wickedpuppy, that is it?
[07:41] <mustard5> hmmm ntfs marked as rw..
[07:41] <wickedpuppy> arthur, yup.. thanks ... yah ntfs should be ro ... anyway your vfat partition looks fine ... its rw
[07:42] <AMDXP> is ssh installed by deafult or do you have to install it in Breezy
[07:42] <farruinn> _Caleb_: add universe from the wiki page I sent you and "apt-get install phpsysinfo"
[07:42] <arthur> wickedpuppy, what's "ro" ?
[07:42] <mustard5> arthur read only
[07:42] <farruinn> AMDXP: you need to install openssh-server and/or openssh-client
[07:43] <arthur> wickedpuppy, it's "ro" but i cannot read anyway
[07:43] <wickedpuppy> arthur, its rw ...
[07:43] <wickedpuppy> anyway you should be able to read ...
[07:44] <farruinn> not if he mounted with "sudo mount ..."
[07:44] <arthur> wickedpuppy, but when i trying to read ubuntu tells me i dont have permission
[07:44] <farruinn> or if user isn't set in /etc/fstab
[07:44] <mustard5> arthur, its a common setup problem.its ok
[07:44] <Xezton> hey guys.  I'm getting an error everytime I try to install Ubuntu 5.10.  It gets to "Installing the base system" and then all the sudden everything turns red and it says: "Unable to install initrd-tools", then it says to continue, and that makes me start the install process all over again.
[07:44] <mustard5> arthur, easily fixed ;)
[07:44] <arthur> mustard5, how?
[07:44] <farruinn> arthur: could you post the contents of /etc/fstab somewhre for us?
[07:45] <mustard5> arthur, with some patience and time :)
[07:45] <arthur> farruinn, how i can do that?
[07:45] <hsc2104> i'm trying to install matlab right now, and the instruction simply says "Run the installer and proceed with the installation"
[07:45] <farruinn> arthur: 'sudo cat /etc/fstab' then post it to a pastebin
[07:45] <hsc2104> i have no idea what this means...can someone help me?
[07:45] <farruinn> !pastebin
[07:45] <ubotu> from memory, pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[07:46] <wickedpuppy> hsc2104, does it have something like install.sh or some shell script ?
[07:46] <hsc2104> lemme see
[07:46] <hsc2104> i see iso files, .dat file, and a .lic file
[07:46] <arthur> farruinn, http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4004
[07:47] <cafuego> Isn't matlab commercial?
[07:47] <hsc2104> wickedpuppy, unfortunately i don't see any sh
[07:47] <hsc2104> it is
[07:47] <hsc2104> i got it from a website
[07:47] <wickedpuppy> hsc2104, what do you see then ?
[07:47] <cafuego> So why doesn't the company provide support?
[07:47] <hsc2104> it came in a zip file
[07:47] <farruinn> arthur: on the lines that begin /dev/hda1 5 and 6, change defaults to user. To do this run "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[07:47] <wickedpuppy> eh hsc2104 call matlab ... thanks cafuego :P
[07:47] <_Caleb_> thanks guys
[07:48] <_Caleb_> i got it
[07:48] <hsc2104> i would, but i couldn't afford buying the program...i think that they provide help if it's purchased through them
[07:49] <wickedpuppy> hsc2104, then how ya got it ?
[07:49] <hsc2104> i got it from www.thepiratebay.org
[07:49] <arthur> farruinn, i cannot, i got this: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4005
[07:49] <mustard5> nobody seems to like the automount windows drive script :)
[07:49] <hsc2104> wickedpuppy, the seem to have alot of good software
[07:49] <cafuego> hsc2104: Then delete it, as it is unlicensed software. We don't do warez here.
[07:49] <hsc2104> *they
[07:50] <cafuego> hsc2104: Or if we do, we're not stuopid enough to ask for help with it on a public channel.
[07:50] <hsc2104> cafuego: okay...i'll try some things on my own, i guess
[07:51] <farruinn> arthur: hrm, maybe "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[07:51] <farruinn> although gksudo works fine for me
[07:51] <Whistler> hello
[07:51] <mustard5> farruinn, sudo gedit /etc/fstab will work
[07:51] <Whistler> does ubuntu support PLANET ADP-8301 modem?
[07:52] <kestas> does anyone know of a command which will recursively chmod all directories in a folder 700, and all files in the folder 600?
[07:52] <Xezton> hey guys.  I'm getting an error everytime I try to install Ubuntu 5.10.  It gets to "Installing the base system" and then all the sudden everything turns red and it says: "Unable to install initrd-tools", then it says to continue, and that makes me start the install process all over again.
[07:52] <wickedpuppy> recursively chmod ? chmor -r
[07:52] <kestas> if I chmod everything 700 then everything is executable
[07:52] <kestas> and if I chmod it 600 then I cant cd into directories
[07:52] <hsc2104> cafuego: that's alright.  i realize it's stupid, but i couldn't find anyone who can help me otherwise
[07:52] <arthur> farruinn, and then i just save and close ?
[07:52] <farruinn> arthur: yes, once you've made the changes
[07:52] <wickedpuppy> kestas, man chmod ... check out -r version
[07:52] <kestas> so I want to chmod files 600, and directories 700
[07:52] <Nuxvomica> kestas: man find
[07:52] <Delvien> What is a dangerous Temperature for a HDD
[07:52] <arthur> farruinn, ok i did
[07:52] <Whistler> Xezton do you install it to primary partition?
[07:52] <kestas> Nuxvomica, k thanks
[07:53] <farruinn> arthur: now you should be able to mount/umount the partitions as your normal user
[07:53] <cafuego> Delvien: 2000K would be quite bad.
[07:53] <Whistler> Xezton i had same prob.Then i tried installing to primary partition and it worked fine
[07:53] <Whistler> does ubuntu support PLANET ADP-8301 modem?
[07:53] <fotosoup> hey, quick question
[07:53] <Nuxvomica> Delvien: mine runs 60C fine
[07:53] <Xezton> Whistler i have one hard drive, Windows XP is on it.  I have 2 ntfs partitions, 1 ext3 partition (20 gb) with a swap part as well
[07:53] <farruinn> arthur: and read/write if applicable
[07:54] <Whistler> have you created ext3 partition as primary?
[07:54] <fotosoup> i'm running 5.04 Live CD.. how can I change the refresh rate?
[07:54] <Xezton> I'm not sure.  i just select the partition, and let ubuntu auto-fy it
[07:54] <Whistler> hm
[07:54] <Nuxvomica> anyone has an idea how i can compare two directories and update them automatically? (like windows briefcase ;)
[07:54] <Whistler> that should wokr
[07:55] <Whistler> work
[07:55] <AMDXP> farruinn: i want to be able to use putty to get into my ubuntu box from XP
[07:55] <Severian> fotosoup, System/Preferences/Screen Resolution
[07:55] <arthur> farruinn, i cant!
[07:55] <fotosoup> it only lists 60hz
[07:55] <farruinn> AMDXP: then install openssh-server on the ubuntu box (if putty is an ssh client, I don't use windows
[07:55] <mustard5> farruinn, can I take arthur aside and show him something?
[07:55] <Whistler> where can i find list of supported modems?
[07:55] <Xezton> I'm trying burning a cd at like 8x.. but who knows if that'll work.
[07:55] <farruinn> mustard5: of course
[07:55] <arthur> mustard5, what?
[07:55] <mustard5> arthur can you join #kubuntu-offtopic plz?
[07:55] <kdude> anybody here knows how to make MIDI play on a Audigy Value 2
[07:56] <AMDXP> farruinn: they use NT/XP at work i want to be able to connect to my box at home
[07:56] <Severian> foto, well, that will be your choice then.  It depends on what monitor was detected during startup.
[07:56] <wickedpuppy> Nuxvomica, use diff and rsync ..
[07:56] <hsc2104> cafuego: where do you learn all these things about ubuntu anyway?  i tried googling and searching in the ubuntu forum, but the issue that i'm trying to deal with is too specific to be able to find all that easily
[07:56] <Hackel> Is anyone using the network-manager version that just went into universe?  For me it just loads and does nothing (narrow blank space appears in notification area).
[07:56] <Whistler> where can i find list of supported modems?
[07:56] <Xezton> Whistler weird thing is, it also does it on another computer i've tried to install it on, but it just erases the entire disc on that one and stops at the same place
[07:56] <fotosoup> It's a newer monitor an NEC 19" CRt running off an x800pro
[07:56] <farruinn> AMDXP: then yes, install openssh-server on the ubuntu machine
[07:56] <AMDXP> ok thanks i will find a guide to help me set it up i just installed it
[07:57] <Whistler> Xezton have you burned the cd yourself?
[07:57] <Xezton> Whistler yes
[07:57] <budluva> how do i reinstall libfreetype? apt-get remove wants to remove 333 packages, apt-get reinstall libfreetype doesnt work either
[07:57] <Severian> fotosoup, Ubuntu probably does not know your monitor.  Can you download the 5.10 live CD and try it?
[07:57] <Whistler> Xezton wta what speed?
[07:58] <Whistler> at what
[07:58] <farruinn> budluva: perhaps dpkg-reconfigure libfreetype
[07:58] <fotosoup> I could, but I don't think the monitor is new enough to not be included in 5.04
[07:58] <Xezton> Whistler well previously at whatever nero thought was maximum speed (I'm guessing 24x) but I'm burning one right now at 8x (60% done)
[07:58] <Hackel> budluva:  apt-get --reinstall install libfreetype
[07:58] <fotosoup> anything I can do during the boot to choose what refresh rate I want along with the resolutions?
[07:58] <FarrisG> Is there a standard method of installing ATI fgl drivers for ubuntu, or is the old debian way the only good method?
[07:59] <cafuego> FarrisG: Just use the prebuilt packages.
[07:59] <crimsun> FarrisG: wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:59] <Whistler> Xezton thats the problem
[07:59] <cdubya> hi, just installed breezy on my laptop and am wondering how I can get DVDs to play right....
[07:59] <cdubya> Totem doesn't work, I installed vlc.....
[07:59] <bur[n] er> !tell cdubya about dvd
[07:59] <Severian> fotosoup, you may be right.  But, it is not always a matter of the monitor being new.  It is a matter of someone entering the information for that monitor in the right place.  That sometimes happens quickly, and sometimes not.
[07:59] <Whistler> Xezton its iso file so you have to burn it max 8x
[07:59] <bur[n] er> !tell cdubya about dma
[07:59] <Xezton> Whistler ya think that 8x will work for me?  I've burnt other distros that way and they've worked fine, namely Debian
[08:00] <cdubya> already did the hdparm thing for dma......
[08:00] <Xezton> Whistler i mean, at whatever nero determined
[08:00] <bur[n] er> cdubya: totem works if you have the libdvdcss package
[08:00] <fotosoup> hmm, is there any way I can choose the refresh rate I want when it asks me for the screen resolutions I want?
[08:00] <cdubya> I have that package. still doesn't work.
[08:00] <budluva> ok, i was trying to install the demo for Savage and i copied all the libs in Savage_Demo/libs to /usr/lib because it was complaining it couldnt find any, then x froze and startx doesnt work, there is no errors when i try to startx, i see the nvidia splash and it boots me back to console, /var/log/Xorg.log.0 has no EE's either
[08:00] <Whistler> Xezton i had same prob last week.Ubuntu`s iso is well compressed so you cant burn it at high speeds
[08:00] <budluva> any suggestions?
[08:00] <bur[n] er> cdubya: explain "doesn't work"
[08:00] <cafuego> Xezton: Depends on the media and speed of your machine as well. Mine tend to be fine at up to 40x, but they don't work if I burn at higher speeds.
[08:00] <cdubya> I put in a dvd, it loads up in totem, but never plays the movie.
[08:00] <cdubya> or even makes it to the menu
[08:00] <Xezton> Whistler oh ok.  So 8x should do it? :) cool!
[08:00] <farruinn> budluva: tip, if it's not installed by apt-get, putit in /usr/local/*
[08:00] <Whistler> i think so.
[08:00] <Whistler> :)
[08:01] <Whistler> better use cdrw
[08:01] <Whistler> :)
[08:01] <budluva> farruinn /usr/local/libs?
[08:01] <bur[n] er> cdubya: get totem-xine ?
[08:01] <Xezton> Whistler well i'll give it a shot here in a few minutes.  lol i have like 2000 cd-rs
[08:01] <Severian> fotosoup, I wish there was.
[08:01] <cdubya> bur[n] er, lemme try.........
[08:01] <Whistler> k then :P)
[08:01] <calamari> what could cause ubuntu not to load things from /etc/modules ?
[08:01] <fotosoup> haha, ya me too... since I have an actual copy of ubuntu not a downloaded one... now it's going to waste haha
[08:01] <farruinn> budluva: /usr/local isn't touched by anything that's installed via apt-get, so it's your playground
[08:02] <budluva> and i keep getting this in my console....* Id "S2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes     anyone know wtf this means?
[08:02] <calamari> by things I mean it doesn't load anything from /etc/modules
[08:02] <Severian> fotosoup, 60 hz may not be optimal for your monitor, but it is hardly unusable.
[08:03] <fotosoup> well, it's just at 1152x864 it really bothers my eyes
[08:03] <fotosoup> I run 85hz is the only one that doesn't cause flicker
[08:03] <fotosoup> I run 85hz* in windows
[08:03] <cdubya> bur[n] er, sweet, that did it.
[08:04] <cdubya> THANKS!
[08:04] <farruinn> fotosoup: you've run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to re-enter your settings?
[08:04] <cdubya> can you adjust the brightness and stuff in totem.....?
[08:04] <fotosoup> no... i'm fairly new to linux
[08:04] <fotosoup> and wanted to try ubuntu
[08:04] <deFrysk> fotosoup, see if your horizontal an vertical frequenties are correct
[08:05] <bur[n] er> cdubya: you're welcome :)
[08:05] <fotosoup> how do I do that?
[08:05] <farruinn> fotosoup: just run that command in the terminal
[08:05] <deFrysk> fotosoup, find the specs of your monitor
[08:05] <bur[n] er> cdubya: edit, preferences... slide the bars
[08:05] <cdubya> bur[n] er, kinda weird, though, the colors or brightness, I'm not sure which, don't seem right at all.....
[08:05] <fotosoup> ok
[08:05] <fotosoup> 1 second
[08:05] <farruinn> fotosoup: and follow deFrysk's advice before doing this :)
[08:05] <cdubya> nm
[08:06] <cdubya> my fault.
[08:06] <cdubya> movie was that way.
[08:06] <cdubya> man
[08:06] <bur[n] er> hehe
[08:06] <cdubya> thanks again.
[08:06] <bur[n] er> no problem
[08:06] <cdubya> btw, breezy is great.
[08:06] <cdubya> installed on this laptop without a hitch.
[08:06] <deFrysk> all your advise are belong to me
[08:06] <bur[n] er> cdubya: add your laptop info to the wiki :)
[08:07] <bur[n] er> cdubya: there's a page with laptop testing for breezy
[08:07] <cdubya> whereto?
[08:07] <cdubya> be happy to
[08:07] <Xezton> Whistler installing base system now from 8x cd :)
[08:08] <alekz> why i cant access to ubuntu forums ?
[08:08] <cdubya> bur[n] er, got a url?
[08:08] <alekz> forget it im in :P
[08:08] <Whistler> Xezton you are fast :)
[08:09] <fotosoup> hmm, only option was 1152x864 at 75hz but it didn't change it in the xorg.conf file
[08:09] <Xezton> it's a new box i built.  it's pretty fast
[08:10] <Xezton> not sure why i'm so awake at 2am tho
[08:11] <budluva> is there a apt-get reinstall world option?
[08:11] <fotosoup> is there any way to force a resolution/refresh rate through the terminal?
[08:11] <budluva> i think my ubuntu machine is fooked
[08:11] <Xezton> Whistler HOORAY! IT WORKED
[08:11] <Xezton> thanks man!
[08:12] <farruinn> budluva: this is only a guess, but based on even the little bit you've said I would say backup your data and reinstall
[08:12] <bur[n] er> cdubya: i don't have an URL sadly
[08:13] <bur[n] er> cdubya: it's in the wiki somehwere ;)  search for LaptopTesting :)
[08:13] <Whistler> Xezton np :)
[08:13] <calamari> budluva: can you pastebin a list of the libs you installed?
[08:14] <budluva> calamari, no paste, ill type them, as im in console :P will have to type them out on this windows box :P
[08:14] <cdubya> bur[n] er, ok. hey have you installed jdk at any time?
[08:14] <kestas> Nuxvomica, I had a look at the find manual and threw this together;
[08:14] <kestas> find . -type d | sed -e 's/^/"/' -e 's/$/"/' | sed -e 's/^/chmod 700 /' > script.sh && find . -type f | sed -e 's/^/"/' -e 's/$/"/' | sed -e 's/^/chmod 600 /' >> script.sh
[08:14] <calamari> budluva: hopefully not too long a list :)
[08:14] <kestas> but the problem is it misses some files
[08:15] <bur[n] er> cdubya: jre, never jdk
[08:15] <kestas> which have special charecters in them
[08:15] <budluva> calamari 10-12
[08:15] <bur[n] er> cdubya: wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTesting :)
[08:15] <budluva> calamari ill paste my whole problem/situation too
[08:15] <kestas> is there a more elegant way of chmodding all directories 700, and all files 600?
[08:15] <kestas> anyone know?
[08:15] <calamari> budluva: ok
[08:16] <kestas> any ideas?
[08:16] <cdubya> bur[n] er, I have jdk 5.0 and tried to do fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-version-yada-yada, but it fails saying it can't find a c compiler, even though gcc is installed
[08:16] <Whistler> does PLANET ADP-8301 work under ubuntu?
[08:17] <farruinn> Whistler: go to this link:
[08:17] <farruinn> !hardware
[08:17] <wickedpuppy> cdubya, you got gcc-4.0 soft linked to gcc ?
[08:17] <ubotu> I guess hardware is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[08:17] <bur[n] er> cdubya: u really want jdk and not just the jre?
[08:17] <budluva> calamari http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4009
[08:18] <cdubya> bur[n] er, yep, need it for school
[08:18] <wickedpuppy> kestas, if i were you i would chmod all 700 or 600 then re chmod the directories ...
[08:18] <bur[n] er> aww... well, maybe jdk expects gcc 3.3 or a different version than the ubuntu one?
[08:18] <cdubya> I can just point to it with eclipse, but it'd be nice to be able to configure firefox, etc with it after all is said and done.....
[08:19] <calamari> budluva: are you running i386?
[08:19] <budluva> yup
[08:19] <bur[n] er> cdubya: i assume you have "build-essential" ?
[08:19] <calamari> budluva: okay great.. one min and I'll tar some replacements
[08:20] <budluva> calamari hold up
[08:20] <cdubya> bur[n] er, umm, huh?
[08:20] <calamari> budluva: yea?
[08:20] <budluva> nm
[08:20] <budluva> continue :P
[08:21] <budluva> just copy your libs to my /usr/lib?
[08:21] <bur[n] er> cdubya: get the "build-essential" package from apt
[08:22] <nalioth> budluva: what libs?
[08:22] <calamari> budluva: hoary?
[08:22] <budluva> breezy
[08:22] <ryan> how can i change a module that is loaded on boot up?
[08:22] <budluva> nalioth http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4009
[08:22] <calamari> budluva: weird, my libcrypto is newer than yours
[08:22] <budluva> calamari remember, those are the list of libs in the game demos /libs
[08:22] <calamari> ahh right
[08:23] <budluva> not my /usr/lib
[08:23] <ryan> i need to change ipw2200 to ipw2200 led=1
[08:23] <nalioth> budluva: it is a bad idea to put ANYTHING in /usr/lib/
[08:23] <nalioth> budluva: use /usr/local/lib instead
[08:23] <hsc2104> hey cafuego
[08:24] <budluva> nalioth someone else informed me after i copied :P
[08:24] <budluva> nalioth but thanks :P
[08:24] <budluva> btw, has anyone gotten Savage to work? wonder if all this was worth it to play the demo hehe
[08:24] <cdubya> bur[n] er, cool, that did it. Thanks again!
[08:24] <hsc2104> for some reason, during installation of ubuntu, my computer did not detect a network card
[08:24] <bur[n] er> cdubya: my pleasure
[08:24] <hsc2104> can someone help me find the write driver for this?
[08:24] <hsc2104> right*
[08:25] <concept10> what packages are needed for a nfs client in breezy?  rpcinfo -p tells me that only portmapper is running..
[08:25] <nalioth> ubotu: tell concept10 about nfs
[08:25] <cdubya> ah. missing a plugin.
[08:25] <hsc2104> the error said "no network interfaces were found.  The installation system was unable to find a network device"
[08:26] <deFrysk> hsc2104, we need to know your networkcard type
[08:26] <Delvien> Anyone know how to convert a *.mdf file into an ISO ?
[08:26] <hsc2104> it says that it's an integrated network card...
[08:26] <hsc2104> i have no idea what this means :P
[08:26] <DMJC> how do you tell ubuntu to autoload a service at boot?
[08:26] <DMJC> eg samba
[08:26] <deFrysk> hsc2104, then we need to know your motherboard-type
[08:26] <hsc2104> oh okay
[08:27] <hsc2104> deFrysk, i'll look for it
[08:27] <calamari> budluva: still workin on it.. about 3/4 way

[08:31] <calamari> budluva: tar -zxvf libs.tar.gz
[08:31] <budluva> ahh ok
[08:32] <hsc2104> deFrysk, i found on a website that portege 3490ct (which is what i have) has a  OEM factory direct System / Motherboard - with CPU B36087541075 - PCB FKWSZ1
[08:33] <budluva> calamari still no startx
[08:33] <hsc2104> deFrysk, does that help or should i keep looking?
[08:33] <budluva> calamari reboot and try?
[08:33] <calamari> budluva: yeah
[08:33] <budluva> k brb
[08:35] <hsc2104> hello?
[08:35] <hsc2104> can someone help me with a network problem?
[08:35] <hsc2104> during installation, i found got an error saying that the system was unable to find a network device
[08:36] <jack|ass> Any ideas on why Nautilus would be hella slow when trying to browse a usb-mounted hard drive?
[08:36] <Severian> So who is this Seveas fellow and is his repository trustworthy?  I have no complaints, I just don't know anything about him.
[08:36] <budluva> calamari still no x
[08:36] <deFrysk> hsc2104, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5645&page=2
[08:36] <budluva> calamari and still no errors in xorg.log
[08:36] <hsc2104> deFrysk,  are you still there?
[08:36] <calamari> budluva: ahh bummer.. exactly the same?
[08:37] <hsc2104> deFrysk, hey thanks
[08:37] <calamari> budluva: btw you did run ldconfig, right?
[08:37] <deFrysk> afk
[08:38] <hsc2104> deFrysk: i actually saw that website, but it didn't help much
[08:39] <hsc2104> deFrysk, you still there?
[08:39] <hsc2104> deFrysk, are you still there?
[08:40] <hsc2104> thanks for your help in advance
[08:41] <andi5> hi. does anybody know about apt-proxy-import having problems finding suitable backends?
[08:41] <budluva> calamari ya ran it sudo
[08:42] <cdubya> is there a .deb for mplayer anywhere?
[08:42] <crimsun> !info mplayer-586
[08:42] <ubotu> mplayer-586: (The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux), section multiverse/graphics, is extra. Version: 1:1.0-pre7cvs20050716-0.1ubuntu9 (breezy), Packaged size: 3670 kB, Installed size: 7928 kB
[08:43] <Mabus06>
[08:45] <calamari> budluva: well, let's try to delete those demo files from /usr/lib
[08:45] <Mabus06> how do you burn a file to two dvds?
[08:45] <cdubya> so what do I need to add to the sources.list file to be able to grab that package?
[08:46] <andi5> Mabus06: do you mean what "split" does for you?
[08:46] <calamari> budluva: go to /usr/lib and sudo rm each file that was listed in that libs directory, then tar -zxvf libs.tar.gz again and run ldconfig
[08:46] <Severian> Mabus06, I would burn it to one and then burn it to the second.
[08:46] <Mabus06> On windows you need to do some stuff with winzip and whatnot.
[08:46] <hsc2104> Can anyone hlep me with this? i was trying to install linksys on my computer, so i followed the directions in that website, but when i opened system-> networking, it says ethernet connection:the interface eth0 is not configured; Modem connection: The interface ppp0 is not configured
[08:46] <Mabus06> Is it just a matter of putting in a dvd, trying to burn, and putting in a second disc partway through?
[08:47] <Mabus06> If so you could have just... told me that instead of inferring I'm an idiot
[08:47] <hsc2104> anyone?
[08:47] <Severian> Mabus06, Oh, I see.  You have a file you need to break up and put part of it on one and part on a second.  Right?
[08:48] <hsc2104> i'm really new to ubuntu so i really need some help...
[08:48] <andi5> Mabus06: if you have the space, i'd do "split -b=4400m <file>" or such for splitting it in 440mb megabyte pieces
[08:48] <Mabus06> Yes, Severian
[08:49] <nubuntu> Trying to install Java, but there are a lot of packages to choose from. j2re, sdk, j2ee... What should I download?  (ubuntu breezy i386 with Opera browser)
[08:49] <Mabus06> andi5, you say b=4400m for a 440mb file
[08:49] <andi5> Mabus06: and you probably know what i mean :D
[08:49] <Mabus06> oh, so it's just 440?
[08:49] <andi5> Mabus06: why that, one dvd takes 4.5 gigs or so, right? so why just a tenth? ;)
[08:50] <Mabus06> well I would have changed the values due to that logic, andi5
[08:50] <cdubya> hsc2104, assuming you've got the machine cabled, have you tried to configure eth0?
[08:51] <hsc2104> cdubya, i don't think so....is the command simple config eth0?
[08:51] <hsc2104> simply*
[08:51] <Severian> andi5, you had a typo.  Mabus06 is confused because you put 440 in your statement the second time.
[08:51] <cdubya> hsc2104, what version of ubuntu?
[08:51] <andi5> Severian: dwim ;)
[08:51] <hsc2104> cdubya, i have 5.10
[08:51] <Mabus06> btw, Severian, never did get that geforce working
[08:51] <hsc2104> cdubya, thanks for helping =)
[08:51] <cdubya> System > Administration > Networking
[08:52] <hsc2104> cdubya: yup
[08:52] <cdubya> hsc2104, click once on eth0, then properties.
[08:52] <Severian> Mabus06, So, are you using the 865 video now?  Is it decent?
[08:52] <Mabus06> Although I solved the hotplug problem by changing the BIOS. But doing so caused even lspci to not find my geforce, severian. :(
[08:52] <hsc2104> cdubya, do i then click on "enable this connection"?
[08:52] <Mabus06> changing == updating
[08:52] <calamari> budluva: still awake? hehe
[08:52] <cdubya> then hsc2104, yep. then set the ip addressing to DHCP.
[08:52] <Mabus06> Severian, I don't know how to get OpenGL working on this one. :(
[08:53] <hsc2104> cdubya: okay, did that
[08:53] <Mabus06> hsc2104, and click "enable"
[08:53] <cdubya> then click activate on the main window.
[08:53] <Mabus06> err, activate. right
[08:53] <cdubya> hsc2104, then if you can't get anywhere, you'll need to do some poking.........
[08:54] <hsc2104> Mabus06, cdubya, it now says "the interface eth0 is active"
[08:54] <cdubya> ok
[08:54] <Mabus06> then try opening firefox, hsc2104
[08:54] <cdubya> try to get to your router in a firefox window
[08:54] <cdubya> 192.168.whateveryoursubnetis
[08:54] <hsc2104> okay
[08:55] <cdubya> did anything come up
[08:55] <hsc2104> yup
[08:55] <cdubya> cool
[08:55] <hsc2104> it seems to work~
[08:55] <cdubya> can you get outside
[08:55] <hsc2104> yup
[08:55] <hsc2104> :)
[08:55] <cdubya> kewl
[08:55] <Mabus06> hsc2104, the default homepage for firefox on ubuntu is local
[08:55] <Mabus06> so just make sure it can load other pages, hsc2104 ;-)
[08:55] <cdubya> yeah, try google or something
[08:55] <cdubya> heh
[08:55] <hsc2104> Mabus06, cdubya, it's working great now :)
[08:56] <Mabus06> great
[08:56] <calamari> can anyone else get to google.com ?
[08:56] <cdubya> should be good to go, though. DHCP should be on out of the box
[08:56] <Mabus06> calamari, if you can't get to google.com but your internet works, it's likely malware
[08:56] <cdubya> calamari, yep, got right to it
[08:56] <calamari> Mabus06: uhoh.. :/
[08:57] <aftertaf> calamari> if you're in linux, check your hosts file
[08:57] <Mabus06> calamari, on my XP machine, I can't load google. Try asking someoen here for a good antimalware program
[08:57] <aftertaf> ping google.com and see the ip address
[08:57] <calamari> I'm using ubuntu of course :)
[08:57] <Mabus06> oh and calamari, try going to yahoo.com, search for "google" and click on the link to google.
[08:57] <Severian> Mabus06, That is an easy one.  Ubuntu
[08:58] <hsc2104> can you guys help me set up my wireless?  i should be able to put in the settings in networking so that the wireless is on, rigtht?
[08:58] <bob2> no
[08:58] <praetorian> dpes anyone have an idea why i would get the following message while trying to burn a dvd either from an iso, or in nautilus:
[08:58] <Mabus06> hsc2104, yes. Let me know if you have problems and where
[08:58] <praetorian> :-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=3h/ASC=73h/ACQ=03h] : Input/output error
[08:58] <calamari> Mabus06: nope.. weird.. was just working 5 minutes ago .. lol
[08:58] <hsc2104> Mabus06, thanks~
[08:59] <Mabus06> hsc2104, did your hardware come with a driver?
[08:59] <Mabus06> hsc2104, I had to use ndiswrapper to get the windows driver to work for my wireless
[09:00] <hsc2104> Mabus06, i found directions to set up my wireless in the forum, and i did exactly what they told me which included using ndiswrapper to get the driver
[09:00] <Mabus06> and any problems so far, hsc2104 ?
[09:00] <hsc2104> Mabus06, and the last step is to configure the settings in networking, but i have no idea how
[09:01] <Mabus06> hsc2104, it is pretty simple... I did it with not much knowledge of networking
[09:01] <calamari> I guess it's my isp, because my other system can't access google either
[09:01] <Mabus06> hsc2104, just remember to set all that IP crap to DHCP
[09:01] <cdubya> hsc2104, I didn't have to do anything but setup my wireless in the networking applet.
[09:01] <calamari> can anyone offer me an ip for google?
[09:02] <Mabus06> lol @ faustus has no reason
[09:02] <cdubya> calamari, how about <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:02] <Mabus06> !botsnacks
[09:02] <ubotu> thanks mabus06 :)
[09:02] <hsc2104> Mabus06, i have my wireless card connected, and have the ip stuff set to DHCP...does this mean that the wireless should be working right now?
[09:02] <calamari> cdubya: thanks that's working
[09:02] <cdubya> calamari, np
[09:02] <cdubya> hsc2104, are you running WEP?
[09:03] <hsc2104> cdubya, i'm not sure what WEP is...
[09:03] <Mabus06> hsc2104, it should be... are you talking to us on your ubuntu machine?
[09:03] <Mabus06> encryption, hsc2104
[09:03] <cdubya> hsc2104, encrypting the packets between you and the router...
[09:03] <Delvien> Anyone here gotten Battlefield 2 to work with Cedega ?
[09:03] <cdubya> hsc2104, if so, you need to add your key in the ath0 setup.....and then you should be good to go....
[09:04] <cdubya> that's all I had to do anyway....
[09:04] <cdubya> setup real slick.
[09:05] <hsc2104> cdubya, i'm not sure...can you tell me how i can check?
[09:05] <cdubya> hsc2104, you should be able to access your router's config via a webmin......if so, look for Wireless Security or WEP or something like that to see if it's on.....
[09:05] <cdubya> hsc2104, sorry, it will be different than mine, but I can try......
[09:05] <cdubya> mine's a Toshiba.....
[09:05] <hsc2104> cdubya, sorry about the slow response...i'm a really slow typer
[09:05] <cdubya> hsc2104, np
[09:05] <Mabus06> hsc2104, it's probably working. Check to see if it is before further troubleshooting. ;-)
[09:06] <libin> hello
[09:06] <cdubya> hsc2104, as long as you can get into the webmin and check to see if it's running (and if not, enable it, create a key, and then remember it.....)
[09:06] <Mabus06> hi, libin
[09:06] <hsc2104> cdubya, can you tell me how i can get into the webmin?
[09:06] <wickedpuppy> hsc2104, localhost:10000
[09:07] <cdubya> hsc2104, do you know your router's IP?
[09:07] <cdubya> hsc2104, you're on the same subnet, so it's the default one likely.....
[09:07] <Mabus06> hsc2104, it's likely <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:07] <luke_> my internet seems to work, but firefox wont connect??
[09:07] <hsc2104> cdubya, i don't have a router, but i think the dorm has wireless
[09:07] <cdubya> ah
[09:07] <thalg> How can I sett a root passw in Terminal ??? I dont get this choice when installing..
[09:08] <wickedpuppy> !root
[09:08] <ubotu> from memory, root is disabled in Ubuntu, you can read all about it on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[09:08] <cdubya> hsc2104, if you enable the device and then activate it, do you get an ip?
[09:08] <Severian> thalg, Ubuntu does not use root.
[09:08] <cdubya> hsc2104, you can find out by opening a terminal and typing ifconfig......
[09:09] <daaku> anyone know if evms, lvm, mdadm, mdadm-raid are required if i'm using dmraid?
[09:09] <luke_> hey my graphics card is a 6600GT, and I am unable to set the resolution over 1024*768, any idea how i can fix  that?
[09:09] <cdubya> look for ath0 and see if it's getting a good IP....if so, you're good to go, but hopefully noone's sniffing that subnet and watching your passwords fly by in cleartext....
[09:09] <Madpilot> thalg: use sudo instead, and see the wiki URL a few lines up ^^^
[09:09] <cdubya> hsc2104, ;-)
[09:09] <luke_> hello? do i have a voice?
[09:10] <Mabus06> hsc2104, I no longer understand your problem. Is it not working?
[09:10] <hsc2104> cdubya,  would it be the thing that says inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS> ?
[09:10] <thalg> Ok, but I cant use the apt-get command,
[09:10] <daaku> luke_: you need to setup your xorg.conf
[09:10] <cdubya> hsc2104, is it listed in the ath0 section?
[09:10] <Mabus06> hsc2104, that would be your IP address, probably
[09:10] <Madpilot> thalg: "sudo apt-get <whatever>"
[09:10] <thalg> Ok, testing..
[09:11] <cdubya> hsc2104, you probably have several entries: lo, eth0 and ath0......
[09:11] <wickedpuppy> thalg, pls use sudo for all your rootly powers :P
[09:11] <cdubya> hsc2104, what's the ath0 IP address?
[09:11] <Severian> luke_, It is likely that you will have to edit the xorg.conf file and add the proper entry for your monitor first.  This is a potentially dangerous thing to do and you need to be very careful..   Incorrect setting can cause some monitors to catch fire.
[09:11] <Madpilot> !tell thalg about root
[09:11] <hsc2104> cdubya, Mabus06, i'll be right back.  sorry...it'll be a minute.
[09:11] <hsc2104> cdubya, Mabus06 i appreciate all the help you guys have given me
[09:12] <thalg> Ok, thank its works...
[09:12] <cdubya> hsc2104, np. You're looking for a line like this in the ath0 section:  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>
[09:12] <cdubya> the inet address is the one you're interested in
[09:12] <Mabus06> pssst, cdubya... he's gone. ;-)
[09:12] <luke_> hello?
[09:12] <cdubya> Mabus06, my bad.
[09:12] <osfameron> help!  how do I get my microphone to work?
[09:13] <osfameron> I have installed esound
[09:13] <osfameron> the microphone works on my other ubuntu machine (laptop)
[09:13] <Kuolio> \o/
[09:13] <osfameron> I haven't apt-getted anything on this box relating to audio except esound
[09:13] <cdubya> luke_, did the card get picked up correctly?
[09:13] <cyphase> To everyone in here: I'd appreciate it if you could install Gobby and connect to me
[09:13] <Kuolio> I just found out about ubuntu having VERY easy ndiswrapper configuratin GUI
[09:13] <cyphase> i don't need to many people..
[09:13] <Kuolio> this is so awesome
[09:13] <Kuolio> \o/
[09:13] <Mabus06> Kuolio, what exactly is awesome?
[09:13] <cyphase> Connect to cyphase.homelinux.com:6522 with Gobby
[09:14] <[Chameleon] > Mabus06: probably the ndiswrapper config GUI that Kuolio just mentioned
[09:14] <cdubya> Mabus06, what source do I need to look for an mplayer deb in?
[09:14] <Kuolio> <3 ubuntu for making ndiswrapper installation as easy as "1-2-3"
[09:14] <[Chameleon] > Kuolio: so where is this fancy thing?
[09:14] <[Chameleon] > Kuolio: I need to get ndiswrapper working on my wife's laptop
[09:14] <cdubya> oops, found it.
[09:14] <osfameron> any suggestions for sound recording?
[09:14] <Kuolio> [Chameleon] : just installed it on my lappy, search Synaptic for "ndiswrapper" and install
[09:15] <[Chameleon] > Kuolio: and there's a GUI now?
[09:15] <Mabus06> cdubya, I only was able to help that last guy because I set up the net on this computer recently. I'm far from an expert. In fact; I didn't even understand your question. :-D
[09:15] <Kuolio> http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/46385/
[09:15] <[Chameleon] > Kuolio: or Synaptic is the GUI you're referring to?
[09:15] <ISOcrates> does anyone know the command to restart vsftpd?
[09:15] <Kuolio> yes, there is a GUI now and that link shows you the screenies
[09:15] <[Chameleon] > kewl
[09:15] <Mabus06> ISOcrates, it's the same one as "start" except you put a re in front of it.
[09:15] <Severian> ISOcrates, probably   /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
[09:15] <[Chameleon] > Kuolio: I see you're on AMD64
[09:16] <Kuolio> yea
[09:16] <Mabus06> Severian, do you know how to get OpenGL working on my onboard video?
[09:16] <Kuolio> um, im not the one who wrote that article, but i just found that when browsing some news-sites and tried it out
[09:16] <ISOcrates> Severian: thanks.
[09:16] <Kuolio> and it worked <3
[09:17] <[Chameleon] > hmm, my box is having issues... bbia
[09:17] <[Chameleon] > b
[09:17] <[Chameleon] > Kuolio: I'll check it out when I get back and can actually run firefox.
[09:17] <Severian> Mabus06, No.  I assume it would be running.  What makes you think it is not.  It is called Mesa, I believe.
[09:17] <InternationalCow> hi all
[09:17] <Mabus06> Severian, I tried to run a game and it had video errors
[09:17] <InternationalCow> anyone use a compaq nc6120?
[09:17] <osfameron> !recording
[09:17] <ubotu> osfameron: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[09:17] <osfameron> !sound
[09:17] <ubotu> I guess sound is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[09:18] <Severian> Mabus, I don't know.
[09:18] <cyphase> Does anyone here have Gobby installed?
[09:18] <Mabus06> InternationalCow, probably wont find anyone who uses your exact machine, but you probably WILL find someone who can help you with the problem you're having with it. Be more specific.
[09:18] <InternationalCow> I ran the liveCD and was VERY impressed, sleep works for instance,
[09:19] <InternationalCow> but when it wakes from sleep it loses the wireless connection (Intel) and i cannot get it to restart that
[09:19] <wickedpuppy> InternationalCow, how did you try to get it restarted ?
[09:20] <InternationalCow> first I used the switch :)
[09:21] <InternationalCow> ifconfig gave me a SIOCADDR error
[09:21] <agt> If I use Samba, can I share my home folder (reiserfs) with an XP box ??
[09:21] <agt> Or does it have to be FAT32
[09:21] <InternationalCow> it came up when booting as eth0 and after waking from sleep it disappeared
[09:22] <eugenesan_> hi all, is there something special with building linux-source? make-kpkg and make bzImage failes on missing files :-(
[09:23] <bob2> eugenesan_: why are you trying to build a kernel?
[09:23] <wickedpuppy> InternationalCow, have you tried googling for  SIOCADDR ?
[09:23] <cafuego> eugenesan_: You need gcc-3.4 at a minimum.
[09:23] <cafuego> !lart ozemail
[09:24] <osfameron> gah. nothing
[09:24] <osfameron> at one point I got some background hiss
[09:24] <eugenesan_> cafuego: i have gcc4
[09:24] <osfameron> this sucks :-(
[09:24] <osfameron> any suggestions on how to get microphone working?
[09:24] <cafuego> eugenesan_: That's nice. Note what I said.
[09:24] <bob2> eugenesan_: which will not work. you need gcc-3.4.
[09:24] <Beleys> Yop
[09:24] <bob2> eugenesan_: why are you compiling a kernel to begin with?
[09:24] <osfameron> as rtfm from !sound doesn't have any useful suggestions
[09:24] <bob2> eugenesan_: if the ubuntu kernel is missing something, you should report a bug
[09:24] <osfameron> is there somewhere else to rtfm?
[09:24] <cafuego> bob2: The 686-smp one is missing HT support ;-)
[09:25] <Delvien> later taters
[09:26] <eugenesan_> cafuego: strange, i use ubuntu-server native install. Incompatible kernel in server distro, that's REALY BAD!
[09:26] <InternationalCow> it's an error that you get when the hardware isn't recognized
[09:26] <InternationalCow> i figured that it had to do with centrino
[09:26] <bob2> eugenesan_: it's not incompatible with anything
[09:26] <InternationalCow> so i am going to try and use a pcmcia card
[09:26] <bob2> eugenesan_: it's built with gcc-3.4, which is included in Ubuntu, for good reason
[09:26] <cafuego> eugenesan_: Whatnow?
[09:27] <cafuego> eugenesan_: How is the kernel incompatible? With what is it incompatible?
[09:28] <osfameron> Just out of interest, am I asking the wrong questions or being rude?
[09:28] <osfameron> (apologies if so)
[09:28] <cafuego> osfameron: More likely nobody knows the answer.
[09:29] <osfameron> cafuego: that's ok then :-)  I'll update wiki ad factlets if I find an answer...
[09:29] <eugenesan_> cafuego: native gcc can't build native kernel, that is bad
[09:29] <cafuego> osfameron: That's what it's for ;-)
[09:30] <luke_> hello?
[09:31] <luke__> hello?
[09:31] <luke__> ?
[09:31] <luke__> hello?
[09:32] <cafuego> eugenesan_: That gcc is packaged for userspace compilation. The *kernel* recommends gcc 2.95 (check the docs)
[09:32] <cafuego> eugenesan_: If you have issues finding docs, maybe compiling a kernel isn't such a good idea.
[09:32] <cyphase> Does anybody have Gobby installed or is anyone willing to install it?
[09:33] <marcus_> anyone can help me with gaim?
[09:33] <marcus_> im trying to gt a newer verison
[09:33] <cyphase> what newer version?
[09:33] <cyphase> are you using breezy?
[09:33] <cafuego> luke__: You _can_ speak here. You're just not making sense, so nobody is answering.
[09:33] <marcus_> 1.5.0
[09:33] <luke__> oh ok
[09:34] <cyphase> marcus, are you using breezy?
[09:34] <marcus_> no
[09:34] <cyphase> breezy has 1.5.0
[09:34] <cyphase> i'd suggest upgrading
[09:34] <marcus_> uhuh
[09:34] <cyphase> not just for gaim, but for it all
[09:34] <marcus_> how?
[09:34] <cyphase> you could try the dist-upgrade command
[09:35] <marcus_> ok how do i do that?
[09:35] <cyphase> lol, well, it's apt-get
[09:35] <holycow> am i the only one that cannot access google?
[09:35] <holycow> this is so weird
[09:35] <cyphase> apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:35] <cafuego> holycow: Yes.
[09:35] <luke__> holycow: i cant access google either
[09:35] <cafuego> holycow: They're out to get you!
[09:35] <luke__> everything else works
[09:35] <holycow> luke__, really?
[09:35] <luke__> yes really
[09:35] <hsc2104> can someone help me with connecting to the web with my computer?  for some reason eth0 is not showing under networking...
[09:35] <holycow> cafuego, lol
[09:36] <cafuego> holycow: Give 'www.google.com.au' a try
[09:36] <cafuego> holycow: It's working fine here.
[09:36] <Madpilot> holycow: can't get it, can't ping either - .com and .ca
[09:36] <holycow> .au works
[09:36] <holycow> .com doesnt
[09:36] <luke__> that doesnt work for me either =/
[09:36] <cafuego> holycow: bad routing prolly
[09:36] <Nobodyreal> Google.com is down.
[09:36] <Madpilot> ping www.google.com got "47 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 46046ms"
[09:36] <cafuego> I downloaded google.com with wget and then I switched it off. Sorry.
[09:37] <Nobodyreal> Well put it back!
[09:37] <Nobodyreal> Please?
[09:37] <hsc2104> Anyone?  I'm really new at ubuntu so I can use some help =)
[09:37] <Madpilot> !lart cafuego
[09:37] <holycow> heh
[09:37] <cafuego> just coz it won't send an icmp-echo doesn't mean it's down ;-)
[09:37] <holycow> sudo apt-get install google
[09:37] <holycow> indeed
[09:37] <holycow> it minimum it means routing issues
[09:37] <luke__> 12 packets transmitted, 1 received, 91% packet loss, time 10998ms
[09:37] <rellik> why is mplayer unable to run a video as full screen (with zooming) without using 100% of the CPU (and lagging the sound)?  I have a newly installed ubuntu
[09:37] <holycow> i got through once just a moment ago
[09:38] <holycow> now its gone again
[09:38] <holycow> routing issues
[09:38] <BROKEN_LADDER> is google really down?
[09:38] <BROKEN_LADDER> guys?
[09:38] <holycow> probably not, i got through once
[09:38] <holycow> looks like routing issues to me
[09:38] <hsc2104> google seems to be working...
[09:39] <holycow> i can't get to .au now
[09:39] <hsc2104> any help would be appreciated~
[09:39] <BROKEN_LADDER> google isn't working for me.
[09:39] <BROKEN_LADDER> yet gmail notifier works.
[09:39] <rellik> google is fine for me
[09:39] <DMJC> what's the X app that does the keystone stuff?
[09:40] <holycow> news.google.com seems to work
[09:40] <DMJC> n/m
[09:40] <hsc2104> hey cafuego, i know i upsetted you with the matlab issue earlier, but I have a problem that does not involve such dangerous grounds...can you help me with this?
[09:41] <daaku> anyone know of a standalone window switcher?
[09:43] <agt> Can I share a directory on an ext3 partition over a network, allowing XP boxes to connect to it ? Can Samba do this?
[09:44] <spinifex> omg google is down in several large areas of the world.  Tell me where you live and if you can connect to it
[09:44] <crimsun> agt: yes, you'd use samba for it
[09:44] <crimsun> spinifex: omgofftopic
[09:44] <spinifex> crimsun: yeah but..   google has never been down for me in my life.  I was wondering if anyone cared
[09:45] <agt> crimsun, cool :)
[09:45] <crimsun> spinifex: it's up for me in the USA (rr.com)
[09:45] <spinifex> be more specific.  West-coasters can't connect
[09:45] <spinifex> but east-cost can
[09:46] <InternationalCow> google is up for me in the netherlands
[09:46] <wrongperson> i tries mount -t ntfs /dev /hda1 /mnt to mount a partition, it still didn't work, why?
[09:46] <spinifex> wrongperson because you shouldn't have a space between /dev/hda1
[09:46] <hsc2104> Please someone help me with the internet connection
[09:46] <hsc2104> I have no idea how to get around this
[09:46] <spinifex> hsc2104 try a site that's not google, it could be down where you live =P
[09:46] <InternationalCow> and i can also connect to the american servers
[09:46] <crimsun> spinifex: I gave you the ISP that I use.
[09:47] <InternationalCow> so i think the problem is not google
[09:47] <wrongperson> i tried every possible way, with and without space
[09:47] <cyphase> lol, does anyone else have Gobby installed?
[09:47] <mustard5> wrongpersion, you used the pastebin before?
[09:47] <DianWei> Ok weird question probably.
[09:47] <mustard5> wrongperson, you used the pastebin before?
[09:47] <hyphenated> hsc2104: doesn't appear where? you've run 'network-admin' ?
[09:47] <InternationalCow> use /dev/hda1
[09:47] <InternationalCow> no spaces
[09:47] <hsc2104> spinifex, google is working in this area...I just need some help with the eth0
[09:48] <hsc2104> I recently installed ubuntu on my computer, but haven't been able to connect to the internet...
[09:48] <mustard5> ubotu: tell wrongperson about pastebin
[09:48] <mustard5> wrongperson, go to the pastebin using ubotu's instructions and paste the actual error message recieved plz
[09:48] <hsc2104> i believe that going into terminal->root>and typing dhclient should connect me to it but it tells me "no working leases in persistent database -sleeping
[09:48] <ompaul> hsc2104, what kind of internet connection have you got
[09:49] <DianWei> I have a fat32 (vfat partition) mounted to /mnt/winlin as a place to transfer files between windows and linux; I am trying to use bittornado to download something to the partition, and it works for a while, but moments later the harddrive turns read only, why?
[09:49] <hsc2104> ompaul, i have ethernet connection here
[09:49] <hsc2104> ompaul, thanks for helping!
[09:49] <spinifex> ompaul I'd assume it's ethernet, given it's called eth0
[09:49] <ompaul> hsc2104, click on system administration networking
[09:49] <mustard5> DianWei, hard drives usually mount as read only on an error
[09:49] <hsc2104> ompaul, okay
[09:49] <ompaul> spinifex, only here - two minutes :)
[09:50] <hsc2104> ompaul, did that
[09:50] <ompaul> hsc2104, can you see your ethernet card there?
[09:50] <DianWei> mustard5 does this mean there is something wrong with the hard drive?
[09:50] <hsc2104> ompaul, no, i can't
[09:50] <mustard5> DianWei, I couldnt say for sure
[09:50] <spinifex> what kind of card do you have, hsc2104?
[09:50] <mustard5> DianWei, its an angle to check though
[09:51] <DianWei> Oi.
[09:51] <hsc2104> spinifex, i'm not sure...i can look it up.
[09:51] <mustard5> DianWei, you can run fsck on an umounted drive
[09:51] <wrongperson> nope
[09:52] <ompaul> is it part of your motherboard and are you dual booting the machine at the moment, if so are you on the other operating system at this time
[09:52] <cyphase> Broadcast: Does anyone have Gobby installed?
[09:52] <mustard5> wrongperson, type the name of the person you are talking to before your message..its unclear who you are talking too
[09:52] <spinifex> hsc2104: you may want to check the hardware lists on the wiki to see if someone else has filed a problem for the same one
[09:52] <DianWei> whats fsck do?
[09:53] <ompaul> DianWei, file system check
[09:53] <mustard5> DianWei, go to terminal and type 'man fsck' for manual
[09:53] <spinifex> or install the wtf command and then say "wtf is fsck"
[09:53] <ompaul> DianWei, file system check with the correct switches it can fix some file system issues
[09:53] <hsc2104> spinifex,  oh okay
[09:53] <Mabus06> hey there, hsc2104
[09:54] <Mabus06> hsc2104, is it all working now?
[09:54] <ompaul> hsc2104, is it part of your motherboard and are you dual booting the machine at the moment, if so are you on the other operating system at this time
[09:54] <hsc2104> Mabus06, hey!
[09:54] <hsc2104> woops
[09:54] <hsc2104> Mabus06, I'm actually working on a differnt problem at the moment
[09:54] <Mabus06> is there a keyboard command to switch between workplaces?
[09:54] <hsc2104> the computer that i'm using right now has a wireless card that's not working
[09:54] <mustard5> Mabus06, yes
[09:55] <Mabus06> mustard5, ... could you tell me it, maybe? :D
[09:55] <spinifex> oh, wireless
[09:55] <mustard5> Mabus06, check System>>preferences>>Keyboard shortcuts
[09:55] <mustard5> Mabus06, sure ;)
[09:55] <Mabus06> ok, muep
[09:55] <hsc2104> the other computer (to which i also downoaded ubuntu) is not connecting to the ethernet
[09:55] <Mabus06> I meant mustard5 ...
[09:55] <Mabus06> k thanks mustard5
[09:55] <spinifex> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
[09:55] <mustard5> Mabus06, its way down the bottom :D
[09:55] <ompaul> hsc2104, is the ethernet card integrated into the motherboard?
[09:55] <warpup_lite> yo @ ubuntu'ers
[09:56] <hsc2104> spinifex, i think its an integrated network card...i'm not sure if this is specific enough
[09:56] <hsc2104> ompaul, i have a linksys
[09:56] <Mabus06> mustard5, ... would it be fine to set the shortcuts as shift+ctrl+1-6 ... or is that used by something else or something?
[09:56] <ompaul> hsc2104, may I suggest you check the bios to check if the card is enabled
[09:56] <mustard5> Mabus06, buggered if I know mate :)
[09:56] <mustard5> Mabus06, hehe
[09:57] <mustard5> Mabus06, alt + combination seems pretty good choice
[09:57] <hsc2104> ompaul, oh okay
[09:57] <spinifex> just don't go over control-alt
[09:57] <hsc2104> ompaul, i guess i'll try that as soon as i can get the ethernet working on my other computer so that i have one computer connected to the internet
[09:58] <spinifex> actually, alt+# is used in irssi for switching windows, and is also the default for switching tabs in gnome terminal
[09:58] <hsc2104> ompaul, can you tell me how i can set up ethernet for my computer?
[09:58] <spinifex> hsc2104: the best information on this is in the wiki
[09:58] <Mabus06> mustard5, alt+combination switches through windows in xchat.
[09:58] <ompaul> hsc2104, it should work by default which is why I made my last suggestion
[09:59] <mustard5> Mabus06, hmmmm..I was worried about the same issues myself
[09:59] <spinifex> it's a complicated topic, trying to get hardware-specific advice on this.  If you haven't really gone over the wiki, it might be hard to get help here on it
[09:59] <mustard5> Mabus06, so I have avoided playing with it too much
[10:00] <bdeck> helo
[10:00] <mustard5> Mabus06, they need a reserved list of some kind :)
[10:00] <spinifex> mustard5: system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts
[10:00] <mustard5> welcome bdeck
[10:01] <spinifex> but per-application you've gotta check
[10:01] <mustard5> spinifex, yeah, just wondering which ones are used by other applications too
[10:01] <michuk> that freaking solaris has some incompatible version of tar.....
[10:01] <hsc2104> ompaul, i am restarting it right now to get into bios
[10:01] <michuk> and thats the problem
[10:01] <mustard5> spinifex, Mabus06 said some of his choices were already x-chat shortcuts
[10:01] <spinifex> yeah
[10:01] <bdeck> I have latest relase with i810 sound, which the systems sees, but hear no sound!I have USB speakers (generic). ran alsaconf, everything seems fine. What could be missing?
[10:02] <spinifex> well ya gotta check the programs you use, and perhaps disable some if possible
[10:02] <mustard5> spinifex, I'm think you are right....just a bit of a painful exercise :)
[10:02] <Marko> so... google is down eh
[10:02] <spinifex> for me, yeah
[10:03] <mustard5> Marko, yep for me too
[10:03] <spinifex> and most people on the west coast
[10:03] <hsc2104> ompaul, can you tell me how i can check if my ethernet is working from the bios?
[10:03] <iceman> anyone got a link to realplayer howto .. how to run a bin file
[10:03] <spinifex> iceman try the wiki
[10:03] <sid> I downloaded FinchTV as tar.gz
[10:03] <mustard5> iceman, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[10:03] <sid> how to install in linux
[10:04] <Marko> apparently google's dns lookup is not workin
[10:04] <spinifex> sid: a tar.gz is just a compressed folder, like a zip.  Extract it with some program and read the readmes inside
[10:04] <bob2> that's not the problem
[10:05] <mustard5> denial of service attack mabye?  we can only speculate :)
[10:05] <ompaul> hsc2104, you need to check of inbuilt devices and then check for lan or ethernet or something like that and make sure that it is enabled if on the other hand it is not integrated and it is not picked up then I have only one suggestion get a different card they are cheap enough and most of them work from the off
[10:05] <sid> there is no readme, it has only ReleaseNotes and Licence
[10:05] <Marko> but the dns servers resolve other places
[10:06] <Madpilot> can someone who is still running Hoary tell me where the Keyboard Shortcuts application is in the menus? In Breezy it's System - Prefs - Keyboard Shortcuts; I can't remember if that's a change from Hoary or not
[10:06] <hsc2104> ompaul, the weird thing is that the system detected my ethernet connection when i ran it on a ilve CD
[10:06] <Seveas> Madpilot, it's in hoary too
[10:06] <mustard5> sid, did they have instructions at the site you download from ?
[10:06] <sid> there is a bin file, if i click it, the program opens
[10:06] <spinifex> sid: no documentation folder or anything?  Well look at the website you got it from then, for installation instructions.  There may be some shell scripts you can read, too, like a file called INSTALL or install or something
[10:06] <Madpilot> Seveas: in the same place?
[10:07] <Seveas> afaik yes
[10:07] <spinifex> yep, same spot
[10:07] <sid> but, I don't know where exactly to put the file , let me search their website for install notes
[10:07] <mustard5> sid roger
[10:08] <ompaul> hsc2104, this information is useful what you do there is boot from the live CD and find out what values are there in the live CD and then come back with them you can check with the command lspci in a terminal
[10:08] <hsc2104> spinifex, i did a search on wikipedia (i think that's what you referred to earlier) and found no specific cases related to my problem
[10:08] <Madpilot> Seveas & spinifex: thanks, just adding to the Ubuntu wiki
[10:08] <spinifex> sid: you don't put the file somewhere.    Well, perhaps it detected properly this time
[10:11] <sid> this is what they have, they don't have any instructions
[10:11] <rawler_> hey ppl!
[10:12] <hsc2104> hey spinifex,
[10:12] <Orborde> What is gam_server and why is it using 725MB of memory?
[10:12] <mustard5> sid, what do you need that app for?
[10:12] <hsc2104> can i ask you for help with one other issue?
[10:12] <rawler_> anyone have an idea of how to get mail-notifications for an Evolution-exchange-setup?
[10:12] <Mabus06> how do you make it so videos can work in the browser?
[10:12] <sid> its a bioinformatics application, lets me see the DNA sequences
[10:13] <mustard5> sid any equivalent in repositories?
[10:13] <spinifex> Mabus06: install a plugin, like mozilla-mplayer, or get the multimedia extension for firefox
[10:13] <sid> nop
[10:13] <mustard5> sid though not :)
[10:13] <mustard5> sid sounds pretty specialised
[10:13] <hsc2104> spinifex, i have a wireless linksys card in my computer, and I downloaded the driver for it...is there a way to find out if it'll work without having to unplug my ethernet cable?
[10:14] <mustard5> sid what happens when you run the binary?
[10:14] <spinifex> sid: there's a binary right there
[10:14] <spinifex> it runs fine.  Try running it
[10:14] <rawler_> mustard5: what? don't you examine your DNA on a daily basis? ;)
[10:14] <sid> yes when I double click it runs fine
[10:14] <spinifex> it's called finchtv
[10:14] <spinifex> yeah, so, congrats.  What do you wanna do?
[10:14] <mustard5> rawler_, I've been neglecting too lately ;)
[10:14] <Mabus06> hsc2104, disable your ethernet in the networking menu
[10:14] <sid> but I have it in my desktop :(
[10:14] <rawler_> mustard5: good for you.. room for self-improvment.. ;)
[10:15] <mustard5> sid where do you want it?
[10:15] <hsc2104> Mabus06, okay
[10:15] <vojta> hi, how can i install codecs for video (wmv ...)
[10:15] <Nobodyreal> I'm having some trouble with X-Chat.  I've set up Firefox as the default browser and if I right-click a link and hit "Open in web browser" it goes to Firefox like it should, but if I ctrl+click on a link it keeps starting up Konquerer.  Anybody have ideas?
[10:15] <sid> that's what I am asking, where do you suggest me to put that binary, and create a shortcut
[10:15] <spinifex> sid: what would you prefer?  You could write a .desktop entry for it to make it go in your applications menu, or make launchers, or..
[10:15] <hsc2104> Mabus06, then what should I do?
[10:15] <ompaul> !tell vojta about codecs
[10:15] <rawler_> mustard5: you could start by checking what part of your DNA will bias you towards more genetics interests.. ;)
[10:15] <musik> !sources
[10:15] <ubotu> A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969 (Hoary) or http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 (Breezy) - Create your own sources.list at http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[10:15] <hsc2104> Mabus06,  I have the ethernet card on this computer so I'd get disconnected from the IRC if i do that...
[10:15] <ompaul> vojta, have a look at the url that ubotu sent you
[10:15] <spinifex> sid: well, put it in one of the directories that's listed when you use the command "echo $PATH" in a terminal
[10:16] <vojta> tks
[10:16] <sid> /usr/local/bin :)
[10:16] <Mabus06> hsc2104, just try it.. it's only one click to reenable
[10:16] <hsc2104> Mabus06, oh okay
[10:16] <mustard5> sid sounds like a logical place :)
[10:17] <hsc2104> Mabus06, I'll be right back
[10:17] <spinifex> sid: yeah, that's a good choice.  Once you've done that, you can run it from anywhere.  Just make a launcher on the desktop.  You can also write a .desktop file that will put it in your applications menu, if you feel like it.
[10:17] <sid> I 'll put it there and creat a launcher :)  thanks a lot Spinifex
[10:18] <spinifex> sid: to add it to the applications menu, check out the files in /usr/share/applications and make one like them for it
[10:19] <sid> Ok.
[10:19] <spinifex> no need to write the name in every imaginable language though, hehe
[10:19] <Madpilot> spinifex & sid: in Breezy, just right-click on the Applications menu to add/delete items
[10:19] <Mabus06> I tried installing mozilla-mplayer, but some movies still won't play in the browser. what should I install?
[10:19] <spinifex> oh, wow you're right
[10:20] <megamind> where do i get reference for BIND
[10:20] <megamind> dns server
[10:20] <mustard5> Mabus06, what format of movie?
[10:20] <spinifex> my way is deprecated.  Much easier to just edit it with that thing, huh
[10:20] <musik> whr can i find easyubuntu for hoary plz??
[10:20] <spinifex> what's easyubuntu?
[10:20] <mustard5> spinifex, its the automatix script
[10:20] <Mabus06> mustard5, not sure... streaming? I can't seem to get it to work, from a variety of sites
[10:21] <hsc2104> hey Mabus
[10:21] <mustard5> Mabus06, hmmm...you tried totem?
[10:21] <Madpilot> isn't that the automated script that breaks Ubuntu installs?
[10:21] <spinifex> but ubuntu is already easy.  How come you need that?
[10:21] <mustard5> Madpilot, yeah thats it ;)
[10:21] <hsc2104> Mabus06: tried it but i wasn't connected to the web
[10:21] <Mabus06> hsc2104, was your wireless set as the default connection in network settings?
[10:21] <mustard5> Madpilot, I've used it twice myself, but I don't anymore
[10:22] <megamind_> megamind there
[10:22] <hsc2104> Mabus06, I don't think so.  Can you tell me how to set it as default?
[10:22] <Mabus06> mustard5, I am not tryiing to get files to work played locally, that works fine. I mean from sites like, cnn.com, trying to play from a website
[10:22] <Mabus06> should be pretty simple hsc2104 ... it's on the bottom of the same networking menu you use to enable/disable things
[10:22] <mustard5> Mabus06,  you go mozplugger installed
[10:23] <Mabus06> Mabus06, mozplugger? exactly like that?
[10:23] <mustard5> yep
[10:23] <hsc2104> Mabus06, I don't see my wireless card there...maybe that's the problem
[10:23] <megamind> please some one refer me bind dns server reference material
[10:23] <spinifex> Mabus06: if you know the url of the video, you can just type it into totem.  There's also a nice multimedia extension for firefox at addons.mozilla.org.  Or you can get one of the various plugins off apt
[10:23] <Mabus06> hsc2104, you sure you did the ndiswrapper part correctly?
[10:24] <spinifex> well, I gotta sleep.  Goodnight everyone, and have fun times with ubuntu
[10:24] <Mabus06> brb all
[10:24] <mustard5> Mabus06, you are looking like a networking guru now ;)
[10:24] <mustard5> k
[10:24] <mustard5> night spine55
[10:24] <mustard5> doh
[10:24] <Mabus06> mustard5, it was only a few days ago I was asking what ndiswrapper was. :-)
[10:24] <thesaltydog> it seems ubuntu lacks of the program gnome-file-type-properties
[10:24] <mustard5> hehe yeah
[10:25] <hsc2104> Mabus06, i thought so...
[10:25] <thesaltydog> how can I edit global File-Associations?
[10:25] <Mabus06> hsc2104, your wireless adapter, it's a pci card or not?
[10:25] <mustard5> thesaltydog, I know how you can edit individual file associations
[10:25] <Mabus06> if it is, type lspci in your console and see if your card shows up
[10:25] <Mabus06> brb
[10:25] <hsc2104> Mabus06, yes, it is
[10:26] <thesaltydog> mustard5, thru Nautilus.. ?
[10:26] <hsc2104> Mabus06, it is a pci card, i meant
[10:26] <mustard5> thesaltydog, right click on file and edit Open with
[10:26] <mustard5> thesaltydog, open properties sorry
[10:26] <mustard5> thesaltydog, and then edit Open with
[10:26] <thesaltydog> yes. But I have to do this for each file type. Isn't there a global setting?
[10:27] <hsc2104> i tried that command,
[10:27] <mustard5> thesaltydog, I think it becomes associated with the file type...because there are no extension in linux
[10:28] <hsc2104> Mabus06, i tried that command,  and it reads "Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless  LAN Controller (rev 03)
[10:28] <hsc2104> " but I have llinksys...is this a problem?
[10:28] <mustard5> thesaltydog, I'm not sure that came out right :)
[10:28] <sword-> hmmm
[10:28] <sword-> what program do you all use to monitor the temperature of your cpu and ambient temp
[10:29] <mustard5> thesaltydog, yeah...I just tested on an mp3...you can take the mp3 part off and it still plays :)
[10:30] <thesaltydog> mustard5, thanks
[10:30] <bigfoot1> guys, i need 2 particular tcp ports  to be open in the firewall. and i use firestarter. how do i specify the port numbers in firestarter?
[10:30] <bigfoot1> i'm a linux-dumb newbie
[10:30] <mustard5> thesaltydog, np  I don't think linux really worries what the extension is..thats just for humans :)
[10:31] <hsc2104> hey Mabus06 are you still there?
[10:32] <mustard5> hsc2104, he's out for tick
[10:32] <hsc2104> mustard5, oh okay
[10:33] <megamind> hey guyz i cant find bind dns server reference ... please refer me if u know any ...
[10:34] <aftertaf> can anyone point me to a friendly and uptodateish guide to installing LDAP/samba for an AD type of environment in linux?
[10:35] <aftertaf> ^^ i have googled.. everything dates to 2001 and is for redhat... :/
[10:35] <hsc2104> wow...what did he just say?
[10:35] <hsc2104> lol
[10:35] <mustard5> aftertaf, sounds beyond me :)
[10:35] <hsc2104> needless to say, me too
[10:36] <megamind> hsc4104 visit http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SettingUpSamba
[10:37] <megamind> hsc2104 http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SettingUpSamba
[10:37] <aftertaf> megamind:  ok. not just for samba... wanting samba to use ldap for a network authentification environment
[10:38] <bigfoot1> firestarter users, please say "Hi bigfoot1"
[10:38] <mustard5> aftertaf, no samba wikis out there?
[10:38] <aftertaf> lol bigfoot1 .
[10:38] <mustard5> Hi bigfoot1 :)
[10:38] <aftertaf> mustard5:  its more that samba, its LDAP combined with samba..
[10:38] <aftertaf> *than
[10:38] <hsc2104> megamind, sounds like something i want.  yey
[10:39] <mustard5> aftertaf, k
[10:39] <mustard5> I'm going to watch Inside Idol for while...cya y'all :)
[10:40] <bigfoot1> aftertaf: you use firestarter?
[10:40] <bigfoot1> or just lol-ing around?
[10:40] <megamind> i did not got reference for bind here i have found it at http://www.bind9.net/manuals
[10:40] <aftertaf> bigfoot1:  guarddog
[10:41] <hsc2104> is anyone here familiar with setting up wireless pci card?
[10:41] <vanten_> HiddenFly, thinking of testing ubuntu. does the kernel thats comes with Breezy Badger support more than 1gib ram at default?
[10:41] <mcphail> bigfoot1: I've used firestarter in the past
[10:41] <Seveas> hsc2104, asking specific questions works better
[10:41] <vanten_> dint know why it hilight...
[10:41] <vanten_> sorry
[10:42] <Seveas> vanten_, yes it does
[10:42] <hsc2104> Seveas, for some reason i'm not seeing my linksys wireless card under networking, and was wondering if anyone can help
[10:42] <vanten_> hi should it only be
[10:42] <Seveas> hsc2104, put the output of lspci on the pastebin
[10:42] <vanten_> thanks Seveas
[10:42] <hsc2104> Seveas, where is the paste bin located?
[10:43] <Seveas> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[10:43] <FujiHOST> Hey all. Can somebody please tell me how I open the incoming folder in .aMule I cant find it
[10:43] <Sonderblade> i have a hp laserjet 4050 printer on my lan, how do i find it and print to it from ubuntu?
[10:43] <hsc2104> Seveas, under "name" do I just put in your name (i.e. Seveas)?
[10:44] <Seveas> can be anything, but preferably your name
[10:44] <bigfoot1> mcphail: how do i tell firestarter to allow certain port numbers?
[10:44] <bigfoot1> mcphail: tcp ports.
[10:45] <hsc2104> Seveas, it's pasted under "kcskyl"
[10:45] <Seveas> as i expected
[10:45] <Seveas> a broadcom chip
[10:45] <hsc2104> Seveas, thanks for your help
[10:46] <Seveas> hsc2104, you need ndiswrapper + windows drivers for this card to work
[10:46] <Seveas> !ndiswrapper
[10:46] <ubotu> I heard ndiswrapper is a way to support Windows wireless drivers, but it is buggy compared to native support. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNdiswrapper
[10:46] <Seveas> look at that page
[10:46] <bigfoot1> how do i see the help files in ubuntu?
[10:46] <Seveas> [F1]
[10:46] <mcphail> bigfoot1: ithas been a while since i used this... IIRC, there is a tab which says something like "incoming connections"???
[10:46] <Seveas> or system -> help
[10:47] <bigfoot1> Seveas: i 'm talking about the general help files.
[10:47] <mcphail> bigfoot1: It should be set to refuse all connections by default. You can then make exceptions for individual ports and protocols
[10:48] <bigfoot1> mcphail: there are 3 tabs: Status, events, and  Policy
[10:48] <mcphail> bigfoot1: Policy will be the one...
[10:49] <bigfoot1> ok. i cilkced that tab. then i clicked "add rule" button. I get a dialog window: "Allow  connections from: ( IP, Host,  or network)" __________.
[10:49] <bigfoot1> mcphail: do i enter the tcp port number in that box?
[10:49] <bigfoot1> Seveas: oh, i could'nt see help, because yelp has been removed
[10:50] <bigfoot1> why does yelp need firefox!!! aaagh
[10:50] <mcphail> bigfoot1: Try allowing connections from "all" first... I think you can enter port numbers after this
[10:51] <bigfoot1> i wish yelp and gnome-app-install would not limit themselves to firefox, but to any mozilla-flavored browser.
[10:51] <Seveas> bigfoot1, because it's built with firefox html rendering
[10:51] <mcphail> bigfoot1: (this is going back in my memory somewhat!)
[10:52] <hsc2104> Hi Seveas, would you look at the paste bin again?
[10:52] <Seveas> sure
[10:52] <hsc2104> Seveas, the pastebin shows the directions that i found on the ubuntu website.  i did exactly what it says
[10:52] <Seveas> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
[10:52] <bigfoot1> mcphail: if i enter 5678 into the text box, will firestarter know what those numbers mean? will firestarter recognize that it is about a TCP port number.
[10:52] <Seveas> some fool f*ed up the wiki
[10:52] <hsc2104> ic ic
[10:52] <hsc2104> he he
[10:53] <hsc2104> Seveas, can you tell me where he went awry?
[10:53] <Seveas> yeah, you're probably missing things :)
[10:53] <Seveas> what type of cpu do you have?
[10:53] <mcphail> bigfoot1: I don't think so. I think you select the permitted IP range first, and then select port number and UDP/TCP
[10:54] <hsc2104> i have a pentium III
[10:54] <Seveas> ok, then do this: sudo apt-get install linux-686 ndiswrapper-utils
[10:54] <mcphail> bigfoot1: just try entering "all" in the box
[10:55] <hsc2104> Seveas, okay
[10:55] <Seveas> and after/during that, put the output of 'ndiswrapper -l' on the pastebin
[10:56] <hsc2104> Seveas, okay
[10:57] <FujiHOST> does dy know where the incoming directory is for aMULE??
[10:57] <hsc2104> Seveas, by the way, how do you memorize all these commands?
[10:58] <Seveas> they're asked in here all the time ;)
[10:58] <bigfoot1> if you use multisync, say "Bigfoot1, i use multisync."
[10:58] <hsc2104> Seveas, do you come here to help out alot?
[10:59] <Seveas> quite :)
[10:59] <aftertaf> lol hsc2104
[10:59] <FujiHOST> ???
[10:59] <aftertaf> Seveas:  yeah, you do hang around a bit here ;)
[10:59] <shawarma> Seveas: Hey. Word on the street is that you've received your Breezy CDs..
[10:59] <Seveas> grep Seveas freenode/#ubuntu.log
[10:59] <Seveas> E: infinity
[10:59] <aftertaf> hehe
[10:59] <Seveas> shawarma, correct
[10:59] <shawarma> Seveas: Where do you live?
[11:00] <Seveas> Holland (where the cd's are made)
[11:00] <FujiHOST> what folder are programs like amule stored in?
[11:00] <aftertaf> lol
[11:00] <hsc2104> Seveas, it's pasted
[11:00] <rhalff> hi anyone using nvsound drivers with ubuntu and got it working ?
[11:00] <aftertaf> FujiHOST:  home directory....  .amule
[11:00] <aftertaf> FujiHOST:  a . in front means it is hidden
[11:00] <Marlowe> FujiHOST - just do `which amule`
[11:00] <FujiHOST> what do you mean
[11:00] <shawarma> Seveas: Oh, that might explain.. The Danish mail people are usually lightning fast, but I still haven't got mine.
[11:00] <FujiHOST> how do i open a hidden folder in thebrowser
[11:01] <Seveas> shawarma, plus, I got mine on high priority :)
[11:01] <aftertaf> FujiHOST:  either you show hidden folders (an option) or you type the .amule in the location bar
[11:01] <shawarma> Seveas: Cheater. :-P
[11:01] <FujiHOST> i dont have a location bar
[11:01] <aftertaf> vip!
[11:01] <Seveas> FujiHOST, [ctrl] [L]
[11:01] <shawarma> Seveas: By the way, what do you need that many for? It mas >2000, no?
[11:01] <Seveas> shawarma, 1100, but I got 700
[11:01] <shawarma> Seveas: s/mas/was/
[11:02] <Seveas> distributing arounf the country :)
[11:02] <FujiHOST> thanks mate
[11:02] <rem_> .aMule
[11:02] <shawarma> Seveas: Oh, ok. cafuego said 2200, I think.
[11:02] <Seveas> well, 1100 cases would be 2200 cd's ;)
[11:02] <shawarma> Seveas: cafuego == "word on the street"
[11:03] <FujiHOST> Thanks Guys
[11:03] <raf256> hi \o/
[11:03] <hsc2104> Seveas, can you tell me what the output o ndiswrapper -l is saying?
[11:03] <shawarma> Seveas: Heh. I guess. I just saw your repositories.. What is that YARS thing? Is it something that can handle your repositories?
[11:04] <Seveas> shawarma, it's my repo script
[11:04] <shawarma> Seveas: topsecret stuff?
[11:04] <Seveas> yeah :)
[11:05] <Seveas> s/server/system/
[11:05] <shawarma> bimberi: That was my guess too. :-)
[11:05] <bimberi> Seveas: ah, nearly :P
[11:05] <r0ver> hello, anyone from canonical here ?
[11:05] <hsc2104> Seveas...don't desert me...lol
[11:05] <r0ver> i'd like to contact a person from canonical... a telephone number maybe would help
[11:06] <r0ver> can you help me ?
[11:06] <thenuke> r0ver: maybe someone else can answer your question?
[11:06] <shawarma> r0ver: They're all in Canada right now.
[11:06] <shawarma> r0ver: asleep
[11:06] <r0ver> ok, a telephone number in canada ? :)
[11:06] <holycow> r0ver,
[11:06] <holycow> dude
[11:06] <holycow> http://www.canonical.com/contact
[11:06] <holycow> seriously
[11:07] <r0ver> holycow: i've already read that page... that's why i'm here.
[11:07] <holycow> so email them then
[11:07] <N6REJ> does anyone here know security well?
[11:07] <shawarma> N6REJ: Just ask your question.
[11:08] <N6REJ> Tiger just sent me this email... http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4020 .   I didn't recieve this notification any other time for the last week that tiger has been running.
[11:09] <shawarma> Seveas: Why aren't you at UBZ, by the way?
[11:09] <hsc2104> Seveas: I feel horrible for constantly bothering you, but could you help me?
[11:09] <Seveas> shawarma, no money/time
[11:09] <Seveas> hsc2104, we won't stop until it works :)
[11:10] <Seveas> have you pasted the ndiswrapper -l output already?
[11:10] <hsc2104> yey!
[11:10] <hsc2104> yup
[11:10] <N6REJ> morning Seveas
[11:10] <Seveas> hsc2104, you picked the wrong .inf file
[11:10] <nalioth> N6REJ: this is not #OSX
[11:11] <N6REJ> nalioth: huh? :~
[11:11] <shawarma> nalioth: Huh?
[11:11] <Seveas> hsc2104, anyway, you need to reboot too, to use your freshly installed -686 kernel
[11:11] <Seveas> shawarma, "Tiger just sent me this email"
[11:11] <bimberi> nalioth: i'm with you, but maybe "Tiger" is something else?
[11:12] <hsc2104> Seveas, which .inf file would I need?
[11:12] <N6REJ> oh, wrong tiger dude!
[11:12] <r0ver> Ok, if i cannot get their telephone number i'll tell you my problem. Maybe you can help me. I'm member of a lug and in a couple of weeks there'll be an event, and we d like to go there with copies of ubuntus to redistribute. Do you know if canonical/ubuntu does special sends ?... we would assume the costs of course.
[11:12] <shawarma> Seveas: Oh. LOL
[11:12] <nalioth> N6REJ: then we are all really really confused
[11:12] <Seveas> hsc2104, dunno, which ones do you have?
[11:12] <shawarma> nalioth: Tiger is not macosx, it's a security tool.
[11:12] <N6REJ> shawarma: tiger is also a version of OS X, but your right I'm talking about the security tool
[11:13] <hsc2104> Seveas,  I have LSTINDS.INF and lsbcmnds.inf
[11:13] <N6REJ> obvisously nalioth didn't read the paste :P
[11:13] <shawarma> N6REJ: I know.
[11:13] <Whistler> can anybody help me to set up adp8301 internal pci adsl modem?
[11:13] <nalioth> N6REJ: i'm kinda irritated at the moment. practicing up to be a developer you see
[11:14] <hsc2104> Seveas, these are the ones that I downloaded according to directions given by wiki
[11:14] <shawarma> N6REJ: What are the exact permissions of e.g. /dev/md5
[11:14] <Seveas> hsc2104, try the other inf file
[11:14] <hsc2104> Seveas, oh okay
[11:14] <N6REJ>  ls /dev/md5 -la
[11:14] <N6REJ> brw-r--r--  1 root root 9, 5 Oct 28 18:51 /dev/md5
[11:14] <shawarma> nalioth: Practicing to become a developer? How does that work?
[11:14] <shawarma> N6REJ: That's fine.
[11:14] <N6REJ> nalioth: well you know what I do to developers :S
[11:15] <Whistler> can anybody help me to set up adp8301 internal pci adsl modem?
[11:15] <nalioth> shawarma: the whole sentence tells my outlook on developers
[11:15] <N6REJ> its an inside joke shawarma
[11:15] <shawarma> nalioth N6REJ: Oh. Ok.
[11:15] <N6REJ> ok, I wonder why tiger chooses to tell me different warnings on different days.
[11:16] <N6REJ> I've got to learn more about the security set.
[11:16] <N6REJ> I gets annoying having false postive emails all the time.
[11:17] <spiral> hi
[11:17] <Whistler> can anybody help me to set up adp8301 internal pci adsl modem?
[11:18] <gibarian> hey everyone...
[11:18] <shawarma> hi, gibarian
[11:18] <N6REJ> Whats the best way to secure an apache2 website with password protection.  It will be my administrative side.  FWIW its on its on virtual ip that is NOT accessible ( supposedly ) from the outside.
[11:19] <gibarian> uh...anyone familiar with this error message? "sudo: unable to lookup  via gethostbyname()"
[11:19] <Myrtti> erm, any spanish speakers around?
[11:19] <Whistler> gibarian maybe you wrothe sudo with big S?
[11:19] <N6REJ> Myrtti go to #Ubuntu-es
[11:19] <Whistler> gibarian sudo should be all caps off
[11:20] <gibarian> whistler: nope...it must be some problem with my hostname/network setup...something like that
[11:20] <shawarma> gibarian: What does the command "hostname" give?
[11:20] <gibarian> nothing...just a blank line
[11:20] <shawarma> gibarian: There's your problem.
[11:21] <gibarian> ah...and how do I resolve that?
[11:21] <shawarma> gibarian: What does /etc/hostname contain?
[11:21] <shawarma> gibarian: Put something sensible in there and you're good to go..
[11:21] <shawarma> gibarian: Hmm... but how?
[11:22] <shawarma> gibarian: Can you start a root terminal from the Gnome menu?
[11:22] <gibarian> uh...I'm running KDE
[11:22] <dreamless> how do i turn off utf-8 and use another symbolset for ubuntu
[11:22] <shawarma> gibarian: Ok. Is there a root terminal menu item somewhere ?
[11:23] <nalioth> gibarian: you are asking questions in 2 rooms, and being answered in 2 rooms
[11:23] <_TalkabouT_>  REGISTER corsa98
[11:23] <nalioth> shawarma: he has already been asked that in #ubuntu but has failed to answer
[11:23] <nalioth> #kubuntu even
[11:23] <shawarma> nalioth: And where do you think we are? :-)
[11:23] <thenuke> dreamless: you can use sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales   atleast to configure your locales
[11:23] <shawarma> nalioth: Oh.
[11:23] <nalioth> gibarian: are you paying attention in both channels?
[11:23] <gibarian> nalioth: sorry...I was of the impression that in kubuntu nobody would be able to help me....obviously I was mistaken
[11:24] <N6REJ> shawarma: mine is set partially wrong too :(  I never noticed, but it explains somethings....  should this contain also the "real" ip of my server?  Its nat'd behind a firewall.
[11:24] <dreamless> thenuke, i want to reconfigure xchat the other danes that i chatting with complain that im useing utf-8
[11:24] <N6REJ> root@adam:/home/troy# hostname -i
[11:24] <N6REJ> <IP_ADDRESS>  <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:24] <csabyka> hello
[11:25] <csabyka> i have  a "little" problem... anybody can help me?
[11:25] <mp3guy> ask away
[11:25] <hsc2104> hi Seveas
[11:25] <FujiHOST> Once I have unzipped a tar.tg file how do I run the application??
[11:25] <hsc2104> are you there?
[11:25] <thenuke> dreamless: with that dpkg-reconfigure locales you should be able to fix that too, if you select a new default keymap which works
[11:25] <N6REJ> FujiHOST: look for a "README" or "INSTALL" and follow the directions
[11:26] <mp3guy> fujjihost, you've to build from source, navigate to the folder in terminal, the type ./configure, then make, the sudo make install
[11:26] <FujiHOST> I did cant find one.. Its for the snes9x Emulator
[11:26] <nuck> there are certain apps in my ubuntu 5.04 that i use all the time.  is there a way to assign shortcut keys so that i can invoke them from there instead of going to the menus all the time? thanks
[11:26] <FujiHOST> ok ill try that
[11:26] <mp3guy> fujihost, thats in apt-get, do sudo apt-get install snes9x
[11:26] <tc1> ola
[11:26] <dreamless> thenuke, thanks, does it require a reboot to work or?
[11:26] <FujiHOST> what is apt-get
[11:26] <mp3guy> fujihost, but try zsnes, its much better
[11:26] <mp3guy> open synaptic package manager
[11:27] <csabyka> apt-get is the best installation way
[11:27] <N6REJ> yep
[11:27] <csabyka> in console mode
[11:27] <thenuke> dreamless: you need to restart x-windows to get the influence spread into xchat too I think
[11:27] <dreamless> thenuke,  how do i do that?
[11:27] <nuck> FujiHOST yes use synaptic instead its a lot less hassle... its in System-->Administrator
[11:27] <nuck> there are certain apps in my ubuntu 5.04 that i use all the time.  is there a way to assign shortcut keys so that i can invoke them from there instead of going to the menus all the time? thanks
[11:27] <mp3guy> dreamless ctrl+alt+backspace
[11:27] <FujiHOST> ok i searched for snes9x in synaptic but I could not find it
[11:27] <dreamless> thanks
[11:28] <N6REJ> shawarma: is there a good document on /etc/hostname?  besides the man page?
[11:28] <mp3guy> nuck, just right click on the menu items
[11:28] <csabyka> peoples...i need a transparent proxy. I installed the squid, and make a correct settings in iptables... but iptables dont route the packets from port 80 to 8080... anybody can resolve that?
[11:28] <nalioth> N6REJ: what do you want to know?
[11:28] <mp3guy> fujihost, search for zsnes, its better than snes9x
[11:29] <FujiHOST> onfiguok cool thanks mate
[11:29] <csabyka> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
[11:29] <N6REJ> nalioth: I want to check some settings in my /etc/hostname file... I think I may have somethings set only partially correct
[11:29] <csabyka> this is correct ?
[11:29] <odie5533> How do I check my pc uptime?
[11:29] <csabyka> odie uptime
[11:29] <odie5533> ah ;) thanks
[11:29] <nuck> Fuji are you sure about the name? if so and you cant find it add "http://archves.ubuntu.org/ubuntu" to Settings--> Repositories
[11:30] <nuck> it might be there
[11:30] <nuck> mp3guy thanks
[11:30] <FujiHOST> ok thanks
[11:30] <odie5533> Anyway to check what users are logged into my pc?
[11:30] <csabyka> users
[11:30] <dan2005> HI, I change my lan card, how do I detect my newly installed lan card?
[11:30] <csabyka> dmesg | grep pci
[11:30] <odie5533> csabyka, whats your uptime? ;)
[11:31] <csabyka> or lspci
[11:31] <csabyka> odie... some pc some servers, some uptimes...
[11:31] <leagris> dan2005, you can do this easyly with system settings in gnome
[11:31] <nuck> mp3guy one more question... i usually launch xterm and run in terminal but im actually after the terminal because i can add a tab terminal and have multiple tab consoles.  how do i launch this terminal without having to launch xterm?
[11:31] <leagris> Someone know when kernel 2.6.13 will be available in breezy ?
[11:32] <csabyka> odie this pc 25day, my gentoo 51day, my favorite server now 143 day
[11:33] <leagris> odie5533, you can open a shell and type the w command
[11:34] <dan2005> but I did a minimal istall of ubuntu
[11:34] <leagris> but that won't sho users logged via gdm or kdm though, just users lgged with a tty like console or ssh
[11:34] <dan2005> with only icewm, does xfce have also this system settings for lan?
[11:34] <shawarma> N6REJ: What do you want to know?
[11:34] <shawarma> N6REJ: It just contains your hostname
[11:34] <N6REJ> shawarma: look in offtopic
[11:35] <N6REJ> somethings fishy as heck!
[11:35] <shawarma> N6REJ: offtopic?
[11:35] <N6REJ> nm. let me show you... one minute.
[11:35] <nuck> what's the command line for gnome terminal?
[11:35] <shawarma> nuck: gnome-terminal
[11:35] <nalioth> shawarma: #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:35] <shawarma> nuck: very original :.-)
[11:36] <shawarma> nalioth: That's what I thought, but N6REJ isn't in there.
[11:36] <leagris> dan2005, not with icewm though you may install some tools with ubuntu-desktop (i guess)
[11:36] <vinceManlurip> hey all
[11:36] <shawarma> nalioth: Ok, now he is.
[11:36] <nalioth> shawarma: sure he is
[11:36] <N6REJ> shawarma: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4021
[11:37] <darkarchon> hey
[11:39] <darkarchon> i have a small problem, my girlfriend wants ubuntu, and i downloaded her already the 5.10 live dvd for installing && stuff. now i want to get the complete mirror of packages to burn them down and install them on her comp
[11:39] <darkarchon> any1 an idea where i can find those package pools and all needed data?
[11:40] <nuck> shawarma ive been trying all permutations of the word terminal with other words except that... nice
[11:40] <newcomer_> darkarchon: probably you need to download "pool" and "dist" directories from any ubuntu mirror
[11:40] <newcomer_> darkarchon: but that maybe incredibly fat
[11:41] <darkarchon> yeah i know.
[11:41] <darkarchon> but i dont have any alternative ideas
[11:42] <morphix> how do i can i add a user for samba so i can view a certain folder and its subdirs over network?
[11:42] <stratovarius> hey all
[11:43] <stratovarius> how can I uninstall a program installed with a binary file?
[11:43] <El_Che> stratovarius: rm
[11:43] <Kamping_Kaiser> stratovarius: it may have an uninstall o[ption as well
[11:43] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi aftertaf :D
[11:43] <raf256> how to configure my user to use KDE?
[11:44] <stratovarius> El_Che I installed nvidia drivers with a binary. how can I remove them?
[11:44] <frogzoo> stratovarious rm ?
[11:44] <rob^> raf256, when you log on click on "session" then choose KDE
[11:44] <rob^> before you type your username/password
[11:44] <michuk> dumb question but i need to ask it: why does ubuntu clear my "recent documents" list every time i log out?
[11:44] <darkarchon> newcomer_, do you may have an alternative idea?
[11:45] <michuk> and how to make it remember it?
[11:45] <rob^> raf256, you need kubuntu-desktop installed first
[11:45] <stratovarius> no one can help me to remove nvidia drivers?
[11:46] <michuk> stratovarius: read the howto provided with the drivers
[11:46] <rob^> stratovarius, just do: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx
[11:46] <michuk> they write how to uninstall
[11:46] <deFrysk> raf256, if you wish to use kde apt-get kdm also and set kdm as default (functions better with kde)
[11:46] <michuk> you need to issue the install command with some option, afair
[11:47] <raf256> ok
[11:47] <raf256> btw, and how do I install/use gnome?
[11:48] <rob^> raf256, when you click on "session" just choose Gnome instead
[11:49] <stratovarius> michuk there is no read me with the binary file
[11:50] <michuk> stratovarius: after installing it goes somewhere to /usr/share/nvidia or similar
[11:50] <michuk> and there should be some readme file
[11:51] <mp3guy> stratovarius: great band, also, in terminal do "whereis nvidia" the remove what ever comes up, you might need to reconfigure xorg after
[11:51] <raf256> rob^: I ment, when I have system without any X, what to apt-get install to have gnome based desktop?
[11:51] <mp3guy> raf256, sudo apt-get install gdm
[11:51] <rob^> raf256, just apt-get ubuntu-desktop
[11:51] <darkarchon> hm
[11:51] <rob^> that will install everything ubuntu-related
[11:51] <raf256> rob^: thnx. btw, any idea what to use in case of debian
[11:51] <rob^> (gnome related too)
