[12:01] <graft> no errors in any log files...
[12:01] <Mba7eth> ls
[12:01] <variant> cypherdelic: just install the latest drivers and that will do the trick.
[12:01] <cypherdelic> so there is now way, no cammand, that tells me which nvidia driver is loaded?
[12:01] <davidohagan> I have a stack of CDs here different versions of Ubuntu and none of them pass MD5Summer, they all throw the same 6 errors, even thought they shouldn't.
[12:01] <gh0st> variant: !!! call me lazy, but that's too much for it :-)
[12:02] <variant> gh0st: udev is incredably powerfull (send an email when a specific usb key is plugged in as a very minor example) but it can be a little confusing, actualy its simple once you learn the basics
[12:02] <graft> cypherdelic: should be in your Xorg.0.log
[12:02] <cypherdelic> graft: where is that?
[12:02] <graft> cypherdelic: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[12:02] <variant> cypherdelic: lsmod | grep nvidia
[12:03] <Dhjiz> i really don't know what to do now
[12:03] <variant> cypherdelic: if it returns nothing then you are using the nv driver or vga etc
[12:03] <cypherdelic> nvidia               5444468  12
[12:03] <cypherdelic> i2c_core               29312  2 i2c_ec,nvidia
[12:03] <Jowi> davidohagan, md5sum the downloaded file. then burn it at low speed (x4 or something)
[12:03] <variant> cypherdelic: right, your allready using the nvidia driver
[12:03] <gh0st> variant: ok another time when i have more free time i will for sure. but now, i need this fixed :-) thanks anyway, and if you want to guide me a bit, feel free
[12:03] <variant> cypherdelic: so whats the problem exactly?
[12:03] <graft> or at least he has the module loaded...
[12:03] <davidohagan> I did that multiple isos from different sources all passed, and bruned at 4x
[12:03] <graft> doesn't mean he's using it in xorg
[12:03] <variant> gh0st: if your about tomorrow as i said, let me know
[12:04] <riotkittie> davidohagan: and what are you burning them with ?
[12:04] <Jowi> davidohagan, does the downloaded file match its sum?
[12:04] <variant> cypherdelic: if you run glxgears what happens?
[12:04] <graft> anyone else have really weird sound behavior? like all your applications behave like a record that gets stuck?
[12:04] <variant> graft: nope
[12:04] <xdude> graft: nope
[12:04] <davidohagan> I used isoburner and my Roxio burner
[12:05] <cypherdelic> variant: i see gears lagging
[12:05] <davidohagan> or what ever Roxio calls their program
[12:05] <graft> what the heck could be causing this?
[12:05] <gh0st> variant: my goal is encrypt the disk with truecrypt. i messed it up as i accently pull out the usb cable, while encrypting -> my ext. hd got messed up, i had to reformat . but now it mounts at the "wrong" place with the wrong name (not the specific one like before)
[12:06] <ubuntunoob> Anyone know how to boot a exe with WINE?
[12:06] <gh0st> variant: like before: name: My Book, place /media/My Book,    now: name: usbdisk, place /media/usbdisk
[12:06] <Amalia> neither worked, for some reason when I try to open xmms it doesn't show a thing.
[12:07] <kev_b> Amalia: are you sure its running?
[12:07] <cypherdelic> variant, why do they lagg
[12:07] <julian> anybody ever used Garnome to install the newest gnome before?
[12:08] <Amalia> no, it doesn't seem like it is.
[12:08] <devhen> Amalia: ps aux |  grep xmms and killall xmms
[12:09] <gh0st> is vfat (32, gparted) also viewable/writable with windows?
[12:09] <Jowi> ubuntunoob, you type "wine program.exe"
[12:09] <ubuntunoob> I got it
[12:09] <ubuntunoob> :D
[12:09] <ubuntunoob> Thanks
[12:09] <devhen> gh0st: yes
[12:09] <KB3NKU> How can I get amarok to rip my cd?
[12:09] <ubuntunoob> Didn't think before i asked lol.
[12:09] <devhen> gh0st: fat32 is the windows/dos filesystem
[12:10] <devhen> < win2000 that is. ntfs is used in newer versions of windows
[12:10] <Jowi> night all
[12:11] <computrius> having a problem with mythtv/mysql
[12:11] <kev_b> Help Plz: can anyone give me a hand trying to work out why user switching stopped working on my system (gnome)? It seems to no longer launch a new x session when I use switch user or fast user switch applet and I can't figure out why or how to diagnose it...
[12:11] <computrius> it made a user called mythtv
[12:12] <computrius> I set the password via loading mysql -u root, then calling "update mysql.user set password=PASSWORD('mythtv') where user='mythtv';
[12:12] <computrius> and for some reason mythtv cant connect
[12:12] <computrius> and if I try mysql -u mythtv -p
[12:12] <computrius> it gets access denied
[12:12] <Jordan_U> Azureus is core dumping whenever I try to run it.
[12:12] <gh0st> can anyone explain me how to name a parititon (for example "My external HD" with and define the mount point where it's mounted (ex. /dev/Ext Hd)? thanks
[12:13] <computrius> any ideas?
[12:14] <killaz> damn why should installation of a simple wlan card be so horribly hard??
[12:14] <[Ag0ny] > hi, I just borked my xserv by trying a new driver. anybody know how to rever to my previous drivers from the command line?
[12:14] <killaz> is there still a problem with wpa in edgy???
[12:14] <kucamonga> olas
[12:14] <preaction> [Ag0ny] : reload your backup
[12:15] <preaction> killaz: i was using it before, with gnome-network-manager
[12:15] <shwouchk> hi
[12:15] <[Ag0ny] > preaction: how might I do that if you please?
[12:15] <preaction> [Ag0ny] : you made a backup, right?
[12:15] <asdf_> how can I convert midi into mp3's?
[12:15] <killaz> preaction: gnome network manager only uses wep
[12:15] <[Ag0ny] > mmmm
[12:15] <killaz> no wpa
[12:15] <[Ag0ny] > no?
[12:15] <Dial_tone> change the driver line xorg.conf?
[12:15] <preaction> killaz: when did you last try?
[12:15] <preaction> [Ag0ny] : what kind of card?
[12:16] <shwouchk> what is the correct way to set up ubuntu to use an WPA2 ap?
[12:16] <killaz> when did I last try??? Im trying the whole day...
[12:16] <[Ag0ny] > intel 950
[12:16] <[Ag0ny] > i have a dell e1505 notebook
[12:16] <[Ag0ny] > don't cringe, it was free
[12:17] <Kingsley``> i'm trying to install fglrx and get this error when i try to buildpkg
[12:17] <Kingsley``> Verifying archive integrity...Error in MD5 checksums: 20807e69b26e7baa1176da0d594968e3 is different from 095ee06415d8206d9118db8160b78f66
[12:17] <Kingsley``> any solution?
[12:17] <graft> asdf_: might be a bit heavy but rosegarden can probably do it
[12:17] <Shadowpillar_> quick question
[12:17] <graft> Kingsley``: update again or use a diferent mirror
[12:17] <Shadowpillar_> I have a cd for edgy
[12:17] <Shadowpillar_> how do I do a smooth upgrade?
[12:17] <graft> Kingsley``: oh wait buildpkg... um
[12:17] <Shadowpillar_> because I hear nothing but horror stories about the upgrade
[12:17] <Kingsley``> yea
[12:17] <shwouchk> anyone? please?
[12:18] <[Ag0ny] > preaction: is there a command for me to just revert? I did it graphically through KDE
[12:18] <xdude> Ag0ny? what was the graphical command through KDE?
[12:18] <preaction> [Ag0ny] : i've never used KDE's graphical utility, but it sounds like a stupid thing. it probably made a backup for you. look in /etc/Xorg
[12:19] <killaz> preaction: why are you assuming that I havent tried the gnome-network-manager since that is the first and easiest step...
[12:19] <preaction> killaz: because WPA works with the gnome-network-manager? did you install wpa_supplicant (or whatever it's called)
[12:19] <Shadowpillar_> anyone?
[12:19] <[Ag0ny] > thanks I'll try that preaction, xdude I entered the display controls and set the hardware driver
[12:20] <riotkittie> because not everybody knows about network-manager-gnome?  because when someone fails to provide detail about what theyve tried, you have to start suggesting /somewhere/?
[12:20] <killaz> well after trying the gnome-network-manager (yes installed wpa_supplicant) I tried to configure wpa manually... by editing /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf but still no luck.
[12:21] <killaz> preaction: still I get a unassociated problem
[12:21] <preaction> you don't configure wpa manually by editing wpa_supplicant, but rather the /etc/network-interfaces (i believe, there's a wiki article about it)
[12:22] <preaction> killaz: i've also had problems with certain linksys routers and WPA - shared key
[12:22] <shwouchk> what is the correct way to set up ubuntu to use an WPA2 ap? anyone? please?
[12:22] <killaz> look at perhaps 10 tutorials already trie dthe whole pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc wpa_supplicant.conf in the /etc/network/interfaces
[12:22] <krzysiek> hello all
[12:22] <killaz> this is not a linksys but a sitecome...
[12:23] <killaz> sitecom*
[12:23] <pbureau> I am using gnome-networkmanager and evrythign works but, everytime I boot my laptop I have to "choose" a network to connect to, anyone know how to make it have a "default" unless I decide to select another (when I go to coffee shop)...
[12:23] <shwouchk> preaction: can you please point me to the wiki? i'm battling a similar problem
[12:24] <preaction> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[12:24] <[Ag0ny] > preaction: I can't seem to find a backup
[12:24] <xdude> Ag0ny:  I may be lost but when ever I did an change over on drivers, the xorg made a backup, I reloaded the backup as preaction suggested, am I lost here or what?
[12:24] <pbureau> killaz- what chipset is your card
[12:25] <preaction> [Ag0ny] : did you try /etc/X11/ ? i think it's supposed to be in there actually
[12:25] <shwouchk> preaction: thanks man!
[12:25] <killaz> pbureau: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG
[12:25] <[Ag0ny] > yeah I've looked there
[12:26] <[Ag0ny] > I noticed quickly that /Xorg didn't exist
[12:26] <xdude> preaction is correct on that one Ag0ny..      How did you install the new driver?
[12:26] <shwouchk> killaz: I think were having the same problem (except I did get to connect, in a weird way)
[12:26] <preaction> [Ag0ny] : then you'll have to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file manually. Look for a "Driver" line, your chipset seems to be supported by the "i810" driver
[12:26] <killaz> I have a unassociated thing going on
[12:27] <stephen> are linux users communist?
[12:27] <xdude> Are all communist linux users?
[12:27] <xdude> Sorry
[12:27] <xdude> |)
[12:27] <[Ag0ny] > thx preaction
[12:27] <preaction> stephen: that seems off-topic, and no. free software usage is not a political statement (though some would beg to argue)
[12:27] <stephen> k
[12:28] <an0k> some syndicalists use linux
[12:28] <preaction> Red Hat, I think, could be construed as proof that capitalism can exist with the Free Software movement
[12:28] <preaction> (though admittedly not very good proof)

[12:33] <tommyv> anyone know a program i can use to make an html file out of a play list?
[12:33] <wolferine> anyone familiar with setting up a boot sequence in win, to allow XP, Vista and linux run?
[12:33] <XiXaQ> krzysiek, did you even ask google?
[12:33] <Jordan_U> krzysiek: You might also try #winehq ( if it is a windows game )
[12:34] <juano__> krzysiek: check out cedega, and please dont spam with questions
[12:34] <Jordan_U> wolferine: You mean just a triple boot, or something more complicated than that?
[12:34] <wolferine> well, i used install.exe last night
[12:34] <wolferine> but I added a new HD into my system, occupying C:
[12:35] <wolferine> and the boot record was stored on another partition/drive
[12:35] <Jordan_U> wolferine: AFIK that is still beta software, just so you know.
[12:35] <XiXaQ> wolferine, you might want to install vmware.
[12:35] <xdude> wolferine - I prefer the use of grub....    Ubuntu will find the windows stuff when using grub-install (correct me anyone)
[12:35] <wolferine> im sure offerring suggests is a room "good quality", but I am looking to repair something specific
[12:36] <wolferine> so if you are unsure, please hold your suggestions, thanks
[12:36] <flarez> damn , need to record from tv soon.. anyone got the hint for my question ?
[12:36] <xdude> wolferine repair?
[12:36] <XiXaQ> wolferine, boot a win98 install cd and run fdisk /mbr
[12:37] <wolferine> maybe my terminology is incorrect
[12:37] <Jordan_U> XiXaQ: No, he never changed the MBR, he used the "install.exe"
[12:37] <xdude> oh windows
[12:37] <wolferine> allow me a minute to explain pls
[12:37] <xdude> |)
[12:37] <shwouchk> preaction: is the howto outdated or something?
[12:38] <XiXaQ> wolferine, hehe, that's why irc is so cool... You can take your time without seeming insane.
[12:38] <wolferine> i have a few HDs in my system, and recently I added one, which occupies c:, and the install.exe(ubuntu) was run last night, and I found this ir in my boot.ini, on my c:
[12:38] <frogzoo> wolferine: if you've added a drive & you want grub to find it, you'll need to update  /boot/grub/device.map
[12:39] <kazuka> krzysiek thanks dude
[12:39] <wolferine> this is the third OS i am adding, so the default menu was created when I installed Vista
[12:39] <wolferine> which currently only has two OSes
[12:39] <kev_b> Help Plz: can anyone give me a hand trying to work out why user switching stopped working on my system (gnome)? It seems to no longer launch a new x session when I use switch user or fast user switch applet and I can't figure out why or how to diagnose it...
[12:40] <Kud|> Is there a reason flash animations are so laggy? I downloaded the SWF plugin via synaptic...not sure what's up.
[12:40] <Fanskapet> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[12:40] <Hisakasex> hello
[12:40] <gh0st> has anyone a Western Digital MyBook 250GB harddisk? if yes, i just a small information
[12:40] <wolferine> so I was wondering if anyone knows how to edit using bcdedit.exe in Vista to add my ubuntu to my list of boot preferences?
[12:40] <Brady_M_at_work> hey guys, you know of the boot loader on Ubuntu, is there a possible --nosplash or option to type in --install to skip the live demo and jump right into install?
[12:40] <Fanskapet> hmm anyone had any success in hw-opengl on a X700 ATI chipset?
[12:40] <xdude> wolferine - I run Grub with windows XP pro - Suse 10.2 and ubuntu 6.10 options.   I usually set the linux as the primary master.
[12:40] <Hisakasex> where do I have to specify the dns in ubuntu??
[12:41] <mjr> Fanskapet, sorry, but my x800xl works fine for most of my needs, mostly ut2004 ;)
[12:41] <FireHazard17> use the alternate cd
[12:41] <wolferine> xdude -- good to know, thanks
[12:41] <frogzoo> wolferine: this chan is for ubuntu support, for windows support try #windows
[12:41] <wolferine> ok thanks frogzoo
[12:41] <wolferine> later
[12:41] <Hisakasex> where do I have to specify the dns in ubuntu for my internet connection in ubuntu?
[12:41] <Fanskapet> mjr: laptop chipset?
[12:41] <xdude> This way when the Grub is written to the MBR, it only effect the primary master
[12:41] <Hisakasex> where do I have to specify the dns in ubuntu for my internet connection?
[12:42] <xdude> and all other drives can be reset to master if all else fails
[12:42] <Jordan_U> frogzoo: It isn't a "windows question" per se, see:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/
[12:42] <Brady_M_at_work> Hisakasex: /etc/resolv.conf
[12:42] <mjr> Fanskapet, x700 should afaik work at least to some extent too, though... Though with development drivers (unless you install fglrx, which is another can of worms)
[12:42] <preaction> Brady_M_at_work: the idea of the live CD is so that there's a full Linux system to do the install with. otherwise try th alternative CD
[12:42] <mjr> Fanskapet, no
[12:42] <frogzoo> Jordan_U: how to modify the xp boot loader is a doze question
[12:43] <Hisakasex> brady_m_at_work: thanks
[12:43] <Fanskapet> mjr: ok :( can't get my laptop to work in dri
[12:43] <Fanskapet> sucks
[12:43] <Brady_M_at_work> preaction: uh. right right
[12:43] <Fanskapet> a hell to configurate

[12:45] <abo> what's the best ftp client for ubuntu?
[12:45] <xdude> best?
[12:45] <dysmas> gh0st: get that script working?
[12:45] <Onburiiku> Is there a way I can set a screen resolution other than the ones in the preferences menu?
[12:45] <Zambezi> How is it to burn imagefiles on Ubuntu server (without X)?
[12:45] <frojnd> why can't I write to media sda4? this is df -h output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3521/

[12:46] <dysmas> gh0st: d0h!
[12:46] <xdude> oh burn, nevermind
[12:46] <Onburiiku> The screen resolution window will only allow 640x48- or 800x600
[12:46] <gh0st> dysmas: now i'm trying to restore it like it was before, to reencrypt and then only test the script

[12:48] <Zambezi> Flannel, I don't have X. That's the problem.
[12:48] <xdude> Zambezi,   I misread....   We used dd to clone drives a couple of weeks ago,   Norton Ghost failed the task
[12:48] <pimpt> sup peoples
[12:48] <gregcha117> alright, my panel at the bottom where all the programs show up when i minimize is screwed, its acting as if my desktop is set to 1024x768 instead of 1280x1024
[12:48] <gregcha117> can someone help me fix this
[12:49] <kris_> why can't i find any identd packages to install?!
[12:49] <Flannel> Zambezi: read the rest of the line ;)
[12:49] <preaction> gregcha117: sudo killall -9 gnome-panel
[12:50] <zbadone> any opionions on a Geforce 6200A agp for ubuntu?
[12:50] <gregcha117> it restarted and showed up in the same place Preaction :\
[12:50] <preaction> gregcha117: then it hates you, you need a new computer :(
[12:51] <borgus> zbadone: Any nVidia GeForce card should work just fine, if you don't mind using binary drivers
[12:51] <gregcha117> it has to do with updating my nvidia drivers, because when i did that i lost my higher resolutions
[12:51] <gregcha117> which i fixed by editing the xorg.conf, and now the panel seems to think its set to a different resolution or something
[12:51] <preaction> gregcha117: i've gotten that before as well, you could try restarting gdm, or you could try finagling with the panel (like moving it around, setting auto-hide, setting height/width, etc...)
[12:52] <zbadone> no problems with that, just looking to update  my older system just to get a little more life out of it, presently running a ti4200-64M
[12:52] <preaction> it's probably a bug, but i've never been able to lock it down
[12:52] <kris_> everywhere i see on the web, they say to apt-get install oidentd
[12:52] <kris_> but it doesn't find anything for me
[12:52] <zbadone> borgus, this new card, for me, has 256M ram
[12:52] <Roach`> Can someone assist me in fixing a fat fingered mistake in gnome?
[12:52] <Flannel> !info oidentd
[12:52] <ubotu> oidentd: replacement ident daemon. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.0.8-1 (edgy), package size 50 kB, installed size 204 kB
[12:52] <FairLite> !oidentd | kris_
[12:52] <FairLite> enable universe
[12:52] <Flannel> kris_: you need to enable universe
[12:52] <FairLite> !find identd
[12:52] <ubotu> Found: bidentd, gidentd, midentd, nullidentd, oidentd (and 4 others)
[12:52] <gregcha117> preaction: wow okay, for some reason clicking and unclickin expand put it back
[12:53] <gregcha117> weird, haha thanks for the help i was worried id have to edit some settings
[12:53] <preaction> gregcha117: yeah... craziness...
[12:53] <borgus> zbadone: Then just use the nVidia drivers (from Multiverse I think), or do what I do and just download directly from nvidia.com and you should be all set :)
[12:53] <Flannel> !nvidia | zbadone
[12:53] <ubotu> zbadone: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:53] <kris_> what is universe flannel?
[12:53] <zbadone> borgus, having problem setting up Ubuntu with the older card
[12:53] <kris_> and how do i enable it?
[12:53] <Flannel> !universe | kris_
[12:53] <ubotu> kris_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[12:53] <tamacracker> Hey guys, where can I find Login screen themes specifically... gnome-look.org is givin me a hard time
[12:53] <borgus> zbadone: What's going wrong?
[12:54] <zbadone> its the drivers
[12:54] <zbadone> got to use legacy
[12:54] <gh0st> may i repeat my request: i just need the output of "udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sdx)" from a Western Digital MyBook 250GB) ext. HD.  Thanks!
[12:54] <Kud|> Is there a reason flash animations are so laggy? I downloaded the SWF plugin via synaptic...not sure what's up. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem?
[12:54] <zbadone> and its having prob with glx not loading
[12:54] <Jordan_U> tamacracker: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter/
[12:54] <kris_> thanks flannel
[12:54] <tom47> !security
[12:54] <Flannel> Kud|: try flash9, it's in backports
[12:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about security - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:55] <Flannel> !backports | Kud|
[12:55] <ubotu> Kud|: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[12:55] <borgus> zbadone: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy
[12:55] <Kud|> Flannel thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. :)
[12:55] <Roach`> Is there anyone who can assist me in recovering Gnome on one of my other accounts? I fat fingered my touchpad and successfully made all of my panels disappear by accidentally adding deskbar to one of my panels
[12:55] <tom47> is there a security irc for ubuntu?
[12:55] <zbadone> borgus, its a new install of Ubuntu, I did that,but still haver prob with glx, and yes i did use glx-legacy
[12:56] <Flannel> Roach`: right click the top/bottom of screen > "add panel" then right click the panels, "add to panel" and set everything back up
[12:56] <borgus> zbadone: hmm; so what is the error, or what happens?
[12:56] <FairLite> tom47: i totally doubt it
[12:56] <Jordan_U> Roach`: Do you want it back to the default?
[12:56] <Roach`> Flannel: Thats my problem, there arent any panels
[12:56] <Roach`> Flannel: If there were panels, I would be good as gold :)
[12:56] <zbadone> borgus, when i run glxinfo it segs with glx
[12:56] <tom47> how do you contact the security team?
[12:57] <Flannel> Roach`: reread what I said ;)  first-- right click near the top/bottom of the screen (independantly, obviously) and then "add panel"
[12:57] <zbadone> borgus ,not X but glxinfo fro mterm segs
[12:57] <Roach`> Flannel: i get an error when i boot into gnome though
[12:57] <borgus> zbadone: hmm; I hate to say it, but I'm kinda stumped now.  You could try to download the legacy drivers from nvidia.com and use nVidia's installer; that's what usually works for me
[12:57] <tamacracker> niiice
[12:57] <tamacracker> thanks
[12:57] <kev_b> meh
[12:57] <theflyingfool> does win32codec support wma?
[12:57] <Roach`> Flannel: lemme reproduce it real quick, hang on
[12:58] <bluesign> anyone know a onenote like app for ubuntu ?
[12:58] <Onburiiku> It won't let me edit the xorg.conf file
[12:58] <zbadone> borgus, I tried that but still segs from term when running glxinfo
[12:58] <Jordan_U> Onburiiku: sudo ?
[12:58] <FairLite> theflyingfool: yes, but "win32codec" is not one thing as you seem to imply, it's simply a collection of the Windows codecs
[12:58] <Flannel> Roach`: that's a different problem.  Try failsafe gnome, under sessions.  You might end up needing to delete your gnome configurations in your homedir
[12:58] <FairLite> !w32codecs > theflyingfool
[12:58] <Onburiiku> Uhh.. I'm using a text editor like the page said
[12:58] <zbadone> borgus, so Im looking to update card to a newer version
[12:58] <borgus> zbadone: Sorry then, I don't know what could be going wrong.  It *should* just work
[12:58] <theflyingfool> FairLite, its a .deb package so how can i not imply its one thing
[12:58] <Onburiiku> I'm completely new to ubuntu, so I'm not sure how alot of this works. >.>
[12:58] <Jordan_U> !sudo | Onburiiku
[12:58] <ubotu> Onburiiku: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:59] <borgus> zbadone: (Disclaimer: IANAD [I am Not a Developer]  ;) )
[12:59] <zbadone> borgus, I was hoping it would JUST work, BUT
[12:59] <FairLite> theflyingfool: it's a deb package just because someone has been kind enough to put all those codecs together in a nice shrink-wrap thingie
[12:59] <zbadone> but ty for input
[12:59] <Jordan_U> Onburiiku: You need to run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:59] <borgus> np, sorry I couldn't help more
[12:59] <theflyingfool> FairLite, doesnt that make it one thing because of said nice person
[12:59] <zbadone> cee ya
[12:59] <ataq> Onburiiku, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:59] <Onburiiku> k, so I type that into the terminal?
[12:59] <Roach`> Flannel: I got Gnome to boot under failsafe, although if i switch user for some reason i lose touchpad support
[12:59] <Jordan_U> Onburiiku: Yup :)
[01:00] <Roach`> Flannel: something to tackle later on...but either way
[01:00] <Onburiiku> K, thanks! :)
[01:00] <Roach`> Flannel: I get a "Failed to load gnome settings manager
[01:00] <Fanskapet> ahh yeah
[01:00] <FairLite> theflyingfool: maybe, i'm not arguing on semantics. but "win32codec" is not even a package.
[01:00] <Fanskapet> got DRI working now
[01:00] <Fanskapet> r0xx
[01:00] <eryc> are there any usb wifi cards that work with ubuntu?
[01:00] <Flannel> Roach`: remove your gnome files (or at least, move them somewhere else) in your homedir, they'll all be hidden folders/files.
[01:00] <theflyingfool> FairLite, arnt .deb files all packages?
[01:01] <FairLite> theflyingfool: yes, but the package we are talking about isn't called win32codec
[01:01] <ataq> eryc, I use Ralink 2500 and works great and most cards run well under Ubuntu now
[01:01] <cosmodad> what happens when I close my notebook's lid? Everytime I do this, my screen turns black but I cannot wake it again unless I restart kdm. Tried adding debug code in /etc/acpi/lid.sh but the script doesn't even appear to start. help?
[01:01] <Zambezi> Flannel, Will cdrecord do it? Is it good and easy to use?
[01:01] <Roach`> Flannel: One second, lemme hop from this backup account to the other account
[01:01] <theflyingfool> FairLite, fair enough its w32codecs_version number
[01:01] <Algorithmist> folks, I need to edit the keymap for my laptop's scroll button, which isn't recognized on default.. what is the file name? google wasn't friendly when I searched for 'linux keymap'
[01:02] <borgus> Is it possible to have two sound cards in the system, and choose which one is "active" whenever you want?
[01:02] <ataq> Anyone excited about ET Quake Wars for Linux?!
[01:02] <FairLite> theflyingfool: right, w32codecs. note the "s", meaning plural
[01:02] <Hisakasex> I just edited my resolv.conf with the IP of the dns of my isp but my squid can't resolve names
[01:02] <Flannel> Zambezi: yes.  I have no idea how good it is though.
[01:02] <theflyingfool> back to the problem at hand, it does support wma files?
[01:02] <Hisakasex> what could be the problem??
[01:02] <Jordan_U> borgus: Never tried it but I assume you could just keep two xorg.conf's
[01:02] <FairLite> theflyingfool: i answered that.
[01:03] <borgus> Jordan_U: I guess that could work, but it would be nice to be able to switch without restarting X
[01:03] <theflyingfool> FairLite, so you did thanks
[01:03] <Jordan_U> borgus: I doubt that that is possible, but again, I have never tried.
[01:03] <Hisakasex> I just edited my resolv.conf with the IP of the dns of my isp but my squid can't resolve names
[01:03] <borgus> Jordan_U: Oh well, thanks anyway :)
[01:04] <Hisakasex> do I have to restart my network interfaces??
[01:04] <Hisakasex> how can I restart my network interfaces??
[01:04] <chorse> Hisakasex: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:04] <cosmodad> Hisakasex: sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
[01:04] <mzuverink> Does anyone know if turning off acpi and apm when booting while connected to ac power will cause damage to the machine?
[01:04] <Hisakasex> gracias
[01:04] <mzuverink> its a laptop
[01:04] <FairLite> networking wins
[01:04] <cosmodad> yeah networking
[01:05] <humpinH> hi, my Logitech Quickcam Messenger isnt working, even after driver installs through various techniques.  Any hints?
[01:05] <cosmodad> mzuverink: very unlikely
[01:05] <mzuverink> cosmodad, thanks
[01:06] <cosmodad> mzuverink: it might run at full speed and thus uses more power and thus will eventually break down earlier, so if you consider that "damage" the answer is yes ;)
[01:06] <Hisakasex> where does squid looks up to resolve names??
[01:06] <mzuverink> ok
[01:06] <mzuverink> thanks again
[01:06] <Hisakasex> I have resolv.conf but still not working my squid
[01:07] <Roach`> Flannel: ok I can get into the profile but I cant get the bars to show up
[01:07] <Onburiiku> So, there's no way to manually set the resolutin through the terminal, or do I have to edit the xorg.conf file?
[01:07] <Onburiiku> resolution*
[01:07] <mzuverink> Do you know which of the two, apm or acpi is responsible for powernow cpu scaling and such?
[01:07] <Roach`> mzuverink: I believe its ACPI
[01:07] <Roach`> mzuverink: but dont quote me on that
[01:07] <Hisakasex> Unable to determine IP address from host name for google.com ... that's the message I get from squid in my browser
[01:08] <mzuverink> Ill try both and see what happens
[01:08] <cosmodad> mzuverink: I'd agree and add that powernow needs some module as well
[01:08] <Flannel> Roach`: just re-add them.  (I'm sure there's some other config file for them, if you remove it, they'll come back, but I don't know which it is)
[01:09] <Roach`> Flannel: Whats the terminal command to bring up the file manager, i forget
[01:09] <Flannel> Roach`: nautilus
[01:09] <shwouchk> hw do I tell apt-get to install recommended packages?
[01:09] <Roach`> Flannel: Thank you, my brain goes out from time to time
[01:10] <cosmodad> shwouchk: use aptitude: aptitude install -r <package>
[01:10] <cosmodad> shwouchk: use sudo, for sure
[01:10] <jimmie> hello
[01:11] <jimmie> how do kde work?
[01:11] <shwouchk> cosmodad: it doesnt have the recommended in the list this way
[01:12] <jimmie> i want to change the look on my desktop.. want it to look like kubuntu.
[01:12] <deg0nz_> gn8@ll
[01:12] <FairLite> !kde > jimmie
[01:12] <cosmodad> shwouchk: the manpage says it should do so. Maybe you're mixing up suggests and recommends?
[01:12] <jimmie> any suggestions on what i can use?
[01:12] <Flannel> jimmie: why don't you just install kubuntu?
[01:12] <Roach`> Flannel: Which config file am i needing to move?
[01:13] <jimmie> hehe
[01:13] <jimmie> ok.. i run ubuntu
[01:13] <Flannel> Roach`: no idea.  you could try all of the gnome stuff
[01:13] <jimmie> is there any diffrens in them?
[01:13] <Roach`> Flannel: I guess im moving all of the gnome files out then
[01:13] <jimmie> cus im a noob
[01:13] <shwouchk> cosmodad: Recommended packages: esound-clients
[01:13] <FairLite> jimmie: yes, Ubuntu has GNOME and Kubuntu has KDE
[01:13] <Roach`> Jimmie: The window managers are different
[01:13] <theflyingfool> Does anyone know if the seveas repo is likely to cause system problems?
[01:13] <xdude> Jimmie - Kubuntu is kde
[01:13] <Flannel> jimmie: You can simply install kubuntu though.  sudo apt-get install kubuntu, will install kubuntu for you
[01:13] <jimmie> ok... what is the diffrenses?
[01:14] <Roach`> jimmie: check out #kubuntu for the KDE build of Ubuntu
[01:14] <shwouchk> cosmodad: btw, how do I also install suggested?
[01:14] <cosmodad> shwouchk: strange. do you need a bunch of recommends? if not, you could add them by hand
[01:14] <xdude> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:14] <FairLite> jimmie, there is a ton of differences. best to try KDE for yourself i believe
[01:14] <Shadowpillar_> how do I do a smooth upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[01:14] <cosmodad> shwouchk: I wouldn't know
[01:14] <xdude> oh I be late again. sorry
[01:14] <Hisakasex> can anyone explain me how to use the keyword search in resolv.conf?
[01:14] <Hisakasex> can anyone explain me how to use the keyword search in resolv.conf?
[01:14] <FairLite> Shadowpillar_: make sure you only have official repos enabled, and follow !upgrade. and hope.
[01:15] <cosmodad> Hisakasex: search <domain>
[01:15] <Hisakasex> what is it for??
[01:15] <Shadowpillar_> !upgrade
[01:15] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:15] <cosmodad> Hisakasex: if you don't use a FQDN, it's completed by the search domain
[01:15] <xdude> but a good question might be how to change the gdm to kdm?
[01:15] <FairLite> xdude: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[01:15] <FairLite> after installing kdm, that is
[01:16] <xdude> thanks FairLite
[01:16] <Roach`> Flannel: Ok lets give this another whirl!
[01:16] <xdude> cool
[01:16] <shwouchk> cosmodad: no - it's just one, but I'd like to know how to do it, so that when it will be a bunch, Itll also add them
[01:16] <homero> #ubuntu-br
[01:16] <Shadowpillar_> FairLite: should I disable backports?
[01:17] <theflyingfool> does anyone know if there are any possible dangers by adding the seveaspackages repo
[01:17] <Hisakasex> I want to host multiple domains  ... what happens if I remove the line that contains search?
[01:17] <jimmie> sudo apt-get install kubuntu <--- where do i do this?
[01:17] <FairLite> Shadowpillar_: probably a good idea. anyway it's more a matter of what you have *installed* than what you have enabled, i'm afraid
[01:17] <xdude> FairLite:  and sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm would change it back?
[01:17] <Shadowpillar_> great
[01:17] <FairLite> xdude: yes. or sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, there isn't really a difference between saying "kdm" or "gdm" there
[01:17] <Flannel> jimmie: use synaptic instead.  open up synaptic, and install the "kubuntu-desktop" package
[01:18] <FairLite> Shadowpillar_: you can always prepare for cloning, just in case things go bad
[01:18] <cosmodad> Hisakasex: the effect is that if you're within mydomain.com and you used to ping host foobar by "ping foobar", it won't work anymore
[01:18] <Onburiiku> Is there a way to change my screen resolution manually through the terminal or something without editing the xorg.conf file?
[01:18] <xdude>  Great - I needed that
[01:18] <jimmie> hehe ok :)
[01:18] <jimmie> thanx
[01:18] <FairLite> !cloning > Shadowpillar_
[01:18] <FairLite> Onburiiku: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[01:18] <jimmie> ill be back.... if i run it to something
[01:18] <cosmodad> Hisakasex: asuming that foobar's FQDN is foobar.mydomain.com
[01:18] <FairLite> Onburiiku: but that *will* edit xorg.conf... just not manually
[01:18] <Zambezi> Anyone burned DVD-images in the console? On a computer without X-server?
[01:18] <Onburiiku> K, I'll try that
[01:18] <cosmodad> shwouchk: can you give me a package with a recommendation?
[01:18] <Onburiiku> Thanks
[01:19] <cosmodad> Zambezi: growisofs is your friend
[01:19] <Moniker42> how do i send SMS with skype?
[01:19] <xdude> Thanks for asking your questions jimmie
[01:19] <FairLite> jimmie, actually i suggest that you use "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop" if you are not sure that you will keep KDE. that is done from a terminal
[01:19] <FairLite> !terminal > jimmie
[01:19] <jimmie> how do i install the whole package?
[01:19] <FairLite> !aptitude > jimmie
[01:19] <FairLite> jimmie: by selecting it for installation. or by using either of apt-get or aptitude with the syntax above
[01:20] <xdude> !aptitude > xdude
[01:20] <homero> ola, alguem saberia me falar o motivo pelo qual o ubuntu 6.10 nao desliga apos o comando de desligar?
[01:20] <ruben> hola soy  carlos  y nose como usar el msn
[01:20] <jimmie> well im using the synaptic
[01:20] <FairLite> !es | ruben
[01:20] <ubotu> ruben: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[01:20] <Zambezi> cosmodad, May I PM?
[01:20] <jimmie> should i just mark the kubuntu desktop system?
[01:20] <FairLite> jimmie: that's fine, just keep in mind that removing it later might not be entirely easy that way
[01:20] <ruben> o  algo  para  agregar mis  cntactos
[01:21] <cosmodad> Zambezi: sry I haven't burned a DVD on console in ages, better google
[01:21] <FairLite> ruben: #ubuntu-es
[01:21] <Shadowpillar_> FairLite: I think I'm set
[01:21] <jimmie> but i can through the terminal later?
[01:21] <xdude> !aptitude
[01:21] <naughty1> hello all
[01:21] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[01:21] <Flannel> jimmie: All package managers modify the same stuff.  so yes.  You can remove whatever you want with whatever methods later
[01:21] <FairLite> jimmie: no. if you install using Synaptic now, apitude won't be of any use to remove it later
[01:21] <Shadowpillar_> FairLite: the "locally installed" section is basically the same
[01:21] <Roach`> Flannel: no dice
[01:21] <Zambezi> cosmodad, Damn. I need to know it works. Then I can save at least 10 dollars.
[01:21] <xdude> !terminal
[01:21] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[01:21] <FairLite> Flannel: not in the sense i suggested aptitude to him over apt-get
[01:22] <FairLite> !msg the bot > xdude
[01:22] <Shadowpillar_> FairLite: "Some updates require the removal of further software. Use the function "Mark All Upgrades" of the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in a terminal to update your system completely."
[01:22] <cosmodad> Zambezi: google
[01:22] <naughty1> i have a citrix client question?
[01:22] <gh0st>  i just need the output of "udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sdx)" from a Western Digital MyBook 250GB) ext. HD.  Thanks!
[01:22] <FairLite> Shadowpillar_: that's a bit cryptic to me honestly
[01:22] <jimmie> hmm.. i'm real noob att this.. but what is the best way to do it now then?
[01:23] <FairLite> jimmie: *i* think the best way is typing "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop" in a terminal.
[01:23] <jimmie> synaptic or the terminal?
[01:23] <Shadowpillar_> anyway brb
[01:23] <jimmie> Fairlite; ok.. then it will automatic install it?
[01:23] <nexous> Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble with jEdit, i downloaded the .deb file, it installed the package, along with several other dependencies.
[01:23] <FairLite> jimmie: yes!
[01:24] <Roach`> Flannel: No dice, im still booting getting the same error
[01:24] <shwouchk> cosmodad: yes, sorry it took me a while to respond
[01:24] <Algorithmist> !codecs
[01:24] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:24] <nexous> Now I start Applications -> programming -> jEdit, and it shows Starting jEdit, and just doesn't open.
[01:24] <jimmie> FairLite: ok.. what will happen after the installing is done?
[01:24] <Algorithmist> !keymap
[01:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about keymap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:24] <naughty1> anyone know how/what file the citrix client name is kept in?  I need to change this and can't figure out how
[01:25] <nexous> Anyone know how I could check why the program isn't loading?
[01:25] <jimmie> Fairlite: reboot or what?
[01:25] <Flannel> jimmie: log out, and at the login screen, there;s a "sessions" option, choose kubuntu there.  And login
[01:25] <Roach`> Flannel: Is there any way to force gnome to ignore all settings and go back to default?
[01:25] <Onburiiku> Hmm
[01:25] <FairLite> jimmie: nothing. only, at the login screen (where you put username and password), you will be able to click on the "Options" button, and select a KDE session
[01:25] <shwouchk> cosmodad: xchat recommends esound-clients
[01:25] <Flannel> Roach`: just delete/remove all the gnome configuration files in your homedir.  some of them might be ".g[stuff] " too,
[01:25] <jimmie> Fairlite: ahaa.. ok :)
[01:26] <cosmodad> shwouchk: I wanted to try but I've got that one installed already...
[01:26] <newbie_> Learning English
[01:26] <shwouchk> cosmodad: oh :(
[01:26] <newbie_> from here,haha
[01:26] <nexous> Anyone know why jEdit says Starting jEdit, and then doesn't open?
[01:26] <cosmodad> shwouchk: let me look for something else...
[01:26] <shwouchk> how do I upgrade firefox to v2? (apt gives me 1.5 only)
[01:26] <Onburiiku> I tried changing the xorg.conf file through the terminal with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, but it doesn't save the settings and it says
[01:26] <Onburiiku> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[01:26] <Onburiiku>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20070130192452
[01:27] <Roach`> Flannel: Then off to deleteland I go! WHEEE!!!!
[01:27] <Onburiiku> What do I do?
[01:27] <FairLite> Onburiiku: what makes you think it didn't save the settings?
[01:27] <FairLite> Onburiiku: it just told you that it *has* saved the settings and also made a backup, from what i can tell.
[01:28] <Onburiiku> Ooh
[01:28] <Flannel> Onburiiku: overwrite it (if it gives you a prompt about it).  It's sensing the fact that you manually edited it.
[01:28] <ala> anyone know where i can find a template init script?
[01:28] <Onburiiku> But when I check it the settings are the same as before I edited it
[01:28] <Onburiiku> Plus I can't change my screen resolution still
[01:28] <cosmodad> shwouchk: I cannot find one... you don't have the recommended package already installed, do you?
[01:28] <FairLite> Onburiiku: "diff /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20070130192452" shows nothing?
[01:29] <Onburiiku> am I supposed to type that?
[01:29] <FairLite> ala: /etc/init.d/skeleton
[01:29] <FairLite> Onburiiku: yes
[01:29] <naughty1> anyone know how/what file the citrix client name is kept in?  I need to change this and can't figure out how
[01:30] <Onburiiku> I typed that and a ton of different stuff pops up
[01:30] <Onburiiku> mostly screen resolutions
[01:30] <FairLite> Onburiiku: then the settings *have* been changed.
[01:30] <noobuntu> I've just installed edgy server and want to install either kde or gnome desktop.  what are the package names for these?
[01:30] <FairLite> Onburiiku: i assume that you have restarted X?
[01:30] <Onburiiku> How do I set the resolution?
[01:30] <shwouchk> why do I only have firefox 1.5 available?
[01:30] <Onburiiku> Ooohhh, that must be the problem
[01:30] <ala> FairLite: thanks
[01:30] <Onburiiku> How do I do that again?
[01:30] <FairLite> shwouchk: because 2.0 isn't available for Dapper
[01:30] <FairLite> Onburiiku: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[01:31] <[reed] > Just download Firefox from getfirefox.com
[01:31] <tbone__> can anyone point me to a good intro to linux site?
[01:31] <shwouchk> FairLite: so how do I get it?
[01:31] <[reed] > instead of using Ubuntu's versions :)
[01:31] <FairLite> !firefox
[01:31] <ubotu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins

[01:31] <noobuntu> root____1: thank you
[01:31] <shwouchk> FairLite: thanks
[01:32] <FantasticFoo> what do you guys recommend for firefox multimedia plugins? totem, mplayer, vlc?
[01:32] <shwouchk> [reed] : youre saying that theres no package whatsoever with firefox 2 for ubuntu?
[01:32] <shoroot> !java
[01:32] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository

[01:32] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[01:32] <FairLite> shwouchk: of course there is. just not for Ubuntu Dapper, but for Ubuntu Edgy.
[01:32] <kbrosnan> shwouchk: correct, ulness you upgrade ubuntu
[01:32] <noobuntu> can I install both kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop?
[01:32] <Creedence> hi guys, I am not able to install the ATI drivers on my IBM laptop. I run the fglrxinfo and don't get the correct reading. Anyone familiar with the ATI installation?
[01:32] <FairLite> noobuntu: yes
[01:33] <noobuntu> FairLite: thank you
[01:33] <shwouchk> FairLite: but I'm on edgy
[01:33] <shwouchk> FairLite: I think
[01:33] <noobuntu> ok, off to it.
[01:33] <FairLite> shwouchk: then you have Firefox 2. it comes with it.
[01:33] <shwouchk> FairLite: I downloaded the 6.10 dvd
[01:33] <FairLite> shwouchk: lsb_release -a tells you which Ubuntu release you're running.
[01:33] <shoroot> !nvidia
[01:33] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:33] <Onburiiku> Awesome, it worked!
[01:33] <shoroot> !ati
[01:34] <Onburiiku> What was the command to edit the xorg.conf file again?
[01:34] <FairLite> !msg the bot
[01:34] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[01:34] <shwouchk> FairLite: Release:        6.06
[01:34] <nrdb> I have a laptop that two people use, each use a different keyboard layout (qwerty,dvorak), it would be very handy if there was an option on the login screen to change the keyboard layout like there is to change the language.
[01:34] <FairLite> Onburiiku: sudo dpkg-reconfigure [-phigh]  xserver-xorg
[01:34] <tim167> i need a FAST filebrowser, nautilus is way too SLOW, xface isnt in synaptic, what are the alternatives ?
[01:34] <shoroot> Ok.
[01:34] <shwouchk> FairLite: wtf! - I downloaded the 6.10 dvd
[01:34] <Onburiiku> I want to keep it for future reference
[01:34] <FairLite> Onburiiku: the part in []  is only needed if you want "quick" configuration - mostly resolutions only
[01:34] <FairLite> shwouchk: i doubt that
[01:34] <Hisakasex> ok .. .my problem is that I have a mydomain.com and I ping foo.mydomain.com and I get response
[01:35] <Hisakasex> there is no foo.mydomain.com but the server is responding because there is mydomain.com
[01:35] <Hisakasex> in a dns
[01:35] <Khem> is 2.6.20 available for 6.1
[01:35] <phaidros> hi ppl :)
[01:35] <Hisakasex> what could be the problem??
[01:35] <FairLite> shwouchk: do a "md5sum filename.iso" on the ISO, or "md5sum /dev/cdrom" on the burned CD. check it against the MD5 checksum listed on the Ubuntu site for Edgy. i'm afraid it will match the Dapper one.
[01:35] <shwouchk> FairLite: this sucks then :(
[01:36] <phaidros> anybody xorg radeon driver with dri on ubuntu ?
[01:36] <FairLite> Khem: no
[01:36] <Onburiiku> Wait
[01:36] <Onburiiku> That command didn't work.
[01:36] <shwouchk> FairLite: I guess i downloaded the wrong dvd :( ... how do I upgrade?
[01:36] <Flannel> Khem: no.  6.10 has 2.6.17, Feisty (7.04) will have 2.6.20 though
[01:36] <Fanskapet> uhm uhm
[01:36] <FairLite> !upgrade > shwouchk
[01:36] <FairLite> shwouchk: i suggest you reinstall from scratch instead, if your installation is still fresh
[01:36] <FairLite> Onburiiku: elaborate
[01:36] <Fanskapet> beryl is crashing while trying to change to beryl as WM in the settings for the application
[01:36] <Fanskapet> i wonder why
[01:36] <Fanskapet> no debug output from it :/
[01:36] <Khem> Flannel: FairLite thanks I will wait for 7.04 then
[01:37] <Onburiiku> sudo dpkg-reconfigure [-phigh]  xserver-xorg gives me an error
[01:37] <shwouchk> FairLite: its downloading again... why from scratch?
[01:37] <Onburiiku> Package `[-phigh] ' is not installed and no info is available.
[01:37] <FairLite> Onburiiku, i told you that the part in []  is only if you want the "complete" instead of the "quick" configuration
[01:37] <FairLite> Onburiiku: which, of course, means that the [ ]  themselves are *not* part of the command
[01:37] <Onburiiku> oOOo
[01:37] <Onburiiku> Okay.
[01:37] <Onburiiku> I'm sorry, I'm a bit slow today...
[01:38] <jpiccolo> why would installing mozilla boink firefox
[01:38] <phaidros> anybody xorg radeon driver with dri on ubuntu ?
[01:38] <kris_> ok, now i got the bidentd package installed, but it doesn't seem to be working
[01:38] <Flannel> shwouchk: fresh installs are always cleaner than upgrades.  You might check out the minimal CD.  It's only 8mb, plus the packages requried (which you'll currently be downloading anyway)
[01:38] <pianoboy3333> Can anyone help me with oocalc, it seems that the cell borders/grid lines, print no matter what I try, how can I blank them out/disable them?
[01:38] <FairLite> shwouchk: if you don't have anything to lose (configurations, annoying-to-backup documents, etc), it's surely better to do a fresh installation than an upgrade, no matter how well the upgrading process may work (that is *cough* not too well)
[01:38] <RudyValencia> !hotkeys
[01:38] <ubotu> hotkeys: A hotkeys daemon for your Internet/multimedia keyboard in X. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS> (edgy), package size 141 kB, installed size 384 kB
[01:38] <Roach`> Flannel: I'm confused
[01:38] <Roach`> Flannel: For some reason, gnome is acting like another panel is running
[01:39] <shwouchk> FairLite: I see
[01:39] <FantasticFoo> what's the dif between totem-xine and gxine?
[01:39] <Roach`> Flannel: So it closes all panels if i log into my main account, displaying nothing
[01:39] <shwouchk> FairLite: ok, I guess Ill do that
[01:39] <FairLite> Onburiiku: for the record, "-phigh" stands for "priority: high", meaning it will only ask "high" priority questions and not lower priority ones
[01:39] <phaidros> #dri-devel
[01:39] <Roach`> Flannel: BUT, if i log into root first, and THEN log into gnome, the panels show up
[01:39] <shwouchk> FairLite: btw, does the minimal CD come with wpa_supplicant?
[01:39] <FairLite> shwouchk: doubt it highly
[01:39] <Roach`> Flannel: er...then log into my main account
[01:39] <Flannel> Roach`: what are the perms on your config files? (ls -al)
[01:40] <shwouchk> FairLite: and what about iwconfig?
[01:40] <Ignite> gb.archive.ubuntu.com down?!
[01:40] <pbz> hello,i installed beryl and i changed something in the configuration...
[01:40] <Onburiiku> brb
[01:40] <Flannel> pbz: #ubuntu-xgl for beryl support, thanks.
[01:40] <pbz> now every time i try to open it,the computer crashes.
[01:40] <pbz> Flannel: thank you
[01:41] <FairLite> shwouchk: doubt that, too. i can't really say, i never had any Wifi, so i never cared. but the minimal CD really *is* minimal, only contained the very core stuff needed to boot and access the internet (but... via an ethernet card only, i'm tempted to believe)
[01:41] <kris_> is there something i need to do to setup bidentd after i install the package?  my port 113 is still not open
[01:41] <naughty1> anyone know how/what file the citrix client name is kept in?  I need to change this and can't figure out how
[01:41] <FairLite> shwouchk: it's 8Mb, remember.
[01:41] <Flannel> Ignite: just change your mirror
[01:41] <shwouchk> FairLite: yeah, I know
[01:41] <Ignite> That's a fair bit of hastle.
[01:41] <Ignite> -_-
[01:42] <Flannel> Ignite: no it's not.  edit your sources.list and remove the "gb."s
[01:42] <slicslak> can i install available updates from the command line?  i know i can use `aptitude update` which will update the package list, but how can i then install all the updates available?
[01:42] <Ignite> Flannel: yes, hastle.
[01:42] <Ignite> :P
[01:42] <Flannel> Ignite: it'll take you a minute tops, if you type slow.
[01:42] <FairLite> slicslak: "aptitude upgrade"
[01:42] <Ignite> I did it already...
[01:43] <shwouchk> FairLite: although I think that these days minimal CDs should come with at least basic wifi, if not wpa_supplicant - there is no CD that can hold only 8MB anyway - credit card CDs are 50MB
[01:43] <FairLite> shwouchk: don't look at me. anyway, as i said, i'm not even sure, it *might* have some support, i just have my doubts
[01:43] <Flannel> shwouchk: wifi requires a lot of config.  and is liable to go down/etc.  Not really condusive to installation.
[01:44] <slicslak> FairLite, thanks
[01:44] <shwouchk> Flannel: I think that a minimal CD can assume the user knows some way around linux... and its not that much config
[01:45] <shwouchk> FairLite: I dont blame you... :)
[01:45] <Flannel> shwouchk: no, the minimal CD is just the alternate CD, only without the packages on the disk.
[01:45] <Roach`> Flannel: I think i got it...lets hope i dont fat finger anything again :)
[01:45] <Roach`> Flannel: Thanks for your help
[01:45] <Moniker42> i like Windows Chess better... the computer doesn't always beat me! :'(
[01:45] <shwouchk> Flannel: doesn't it require more user interaction then the regular CD?
[01:45] <fools> OT: what was the first open source business?
[01:45] <Flannel> shwouchk: correct.  It's the exact same installer as alternate CD, only without the packages.
[01:45] <Flannel> shwouchk: (it downloads them from the interblag)
[01:46] <theflyingfool> does anyone know how to open a .rar file, the archive manager doesnt seem to open it
[01:47] <FantasticFoo> what's the deal with the totem firefox plugin? i cant stop the movie and change the position slider thingy
[01:47] <nexous> Anyone know why i can't save in bluefish editor? (v 1.0.4)
[01:47] <Flannel> nexous: where are you trying to save?
[01:47] <shwouchk> Flannel: oh, well... where can I get it? (btw, the search on the ubuntu site is really bad)
[01:47] <Flannel> !minimal | shwouchk
[01:47] <ubotu> shwouchk: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[01:48] <nexous> Flannel: /var/www/
[01:48] <shwouchk> !alternate
[01:48] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[01:48] <Flannel> nexous: you probably dont have permissions to write there.
[01:48] <nexous> I can create file through Konsole though.
[01:48] <nexous> and the other day I came here, someone told me to chmod the dir. and I did.
[01:48] <theflyingfool> how do i open .rar files
[01:49] <FairLite> !rar > theflyingfool
[01:49] <naughty1> theflyingfool, install the rar package
[01:49] <FairLite> or the unrar package even
[01:49] <dirrty> I have MySQL DBs created in Windoz, trying to move them to Ubuntu...log on as administrator in Windows still can not change permissions...they are read only
[01:49] <shwouchk> how stable (or unstable) is 7.04?
[01:49] <theflyingfool> thanks guys
[01:49] <FairLite> shwouchk: unstable enough. ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:49] <Flannel> shwouchk: it's alpha software.
[01:49] <FairLite> shwouchk: or just look at the topic there
[01:50] <theflyingfool> and this is probably a dumb question but what does the "!randomthing" mean
[01:50] <nexous> it's a bot.
[01:50] <naughty1> anyone know /what file the citrix client name is kept in?  I need to change this and can't figure out how
[01:50] <FairLite> theflyingfool: uh?! didn't you see the private message from ubotu?
[01:50] <nexous> Flannel, do I have to set permissions to apps also?
[01:50] <dirrty> No MySQL help???
[01:51] <theflyingfool> FairLite, i saw that and it helps much
[01:51] <theflyingfool> but when people say !insert random thing here   what does that mean
[01:51] <FairLite> theflyingfool: well the ! thing is just the way one calls the bot
[01:51] <shwouchk> Flannel: FairLite: thanks
[01:51] <lufis> When I try to record something in sound recorder, the input selection gets switched to "AC97" no matter what I select. Any ideas?
[01:51] <RudyValencia> theflyingfool: They're asking ubotu for help.
[01:51] <theflyingfool> FairLite, thanks i was wondering about that for a long time
[01:51] <FairLite> theflyingfool, the ubotu bot is just a computer program. it cannot know that you need information about RAR files. typing !rar is the way it instructed it to
[01:53] <dirrty> !mysql
[01:53] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[01:53] <theflyingfool> thanks much
[01:53] <dirrty> thks bot but no help
[01:53] <shmeelAway> hi, i have a external harddrive fornatted as ext-2, how can i get th authority to format it to something else?
[01:53] <Moniker42> what's the best dvd type to get for living in the uk?
[01:54] <Moniker42> + or -?
[01:54] <nexous> Anyone know why bluefish can't save my files to var/www/?
[01:54] <kitche> dirrty: what's wrong?
[01:54] <kitche> nexous: you don't have permission to
[01:54] <Moniker42> nexous, perhaps it doesn't have permission to
[01:54] <Moniker42> yea
[01:54] <lufis> Moniker42: +
[01:54] <Moniker42> lufis, thanks.
[01:54] <nexous> kitche: moniker: how do i set permissions thouhg
[01:55] <nexous> nvm
[01:55] <nexous> !chmod
[01:55] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[01:55] <dirrty> need to move MySQL dbs from Windoz to ubuntu
[01:55] <Moniker42> nexous, chmod. i dunno how to use it but... yea...
[01:55] <shwouchk> whats the best way to write an iso under gnome?
[01:55] <kitche> dirrty: might want to ask in #mysql about that
[01:55] <dirrty> yea thanks
[01:55] <borgus> dirrty: I generally just use phpMyAdmin to export and import the tables
[01:55] <nexous> chmod ugo+rwx /var/www/
[01:56] <nexous> would that work?
[01:56] <Flannel> ugh.  No.  Add yourself to the www-data group or something.
[01:56] <nixnoob> hey ive installed my windows wireless driver using ndiswrapper but i still cant get a connection.. do i have to reboot before it will work?
[01:56] <CapNbeefy> i upgraded to kubuntu from ubuntu edgy awhile back and now when i try to log into gnome it crashes....i dont like kde as much as gnome and i want to get rid of kubuntu and everything with it and switch back to gnome/ubuntu edgy....i havent been able to figure out how to do this
[01:56] <nexous> Flannel, was that directed towards me?
[01:57] <shwouchk> Moniker42: I don't think it matters much these days
[01:57] <dirrty> borgus,  that might work bbl
[01:57] <shwouchk> Moniker42: most readers/writers read and write both fine
[01:57] <Flannel> nexous: yes.
[01:57] <gma> nexous: I suspect so
[01:57] <nexous> How do I add myself to the www group?
[01:57] <Chilliwack> hi... i'm trying to install firefox, and i just got ubuntu, but i really don't know what the crap i'm doing. i got the .tar.gz, but i don't know how to install it (or anything, really)
[01:58] <CapNbeefy> i just want everything back to normal...minus kubuntu
[01:58] <exs> windows live messenger isn't working on wine
[01:58] <gma> Chilliwack: it comes with ubuntu
[01:58] <gma> Chilliwack: do you need a different version?
[01:58] <Chilliwack> gma: not the latest version, which is what i'm after
[01:58] <Flannel> !firefox | Chilliwack
[01:58] <ubotu> Chilliwack: firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[01:58] <CapNbeefy> chilli firefox should come bundled with ubuntu
[01:58] <Chankster> is anyone knowledgeable on installing 5.10 on a oldworld ppc?
[01:58] <Chilliwack> it does, i'm trying to update to the new version
[01:58] <Chilliwack> thanks, flannel
[01:59] <Flannel> Chankster: why would you want to install breezy?  It's almost out of support
[01:59] <nexous> File owner/File Group are set to root for www folder.
[01:59] <dwhsix> hmm... iPod was working fine plugged straight in; I just tried using it with a hub and it doesn't show up... thoughts?
[01:59] <Chankster> Flannel: because thats all i can find instructions for and thats all that seems work
[01:59] <nexous> How can i login as root?
[01:59] <Flannel> nexous: you don't need to.  use sudo.
[01:59] <nexous> how do I chmod using sudo?
[01:59] <Flannel> nexous: just like normal?
[02:00] <NkZ> Greetings!
[02:00] <shmeelAway> how do i get access to format a external harddrive?
[02:00] <nexous> "To change or edit files that are owned by root, sudo must be used" ohhh
[02:00] <NkZ> Greetings guys, I was wondering: What packages i need to have installed in order to do "Make; Make Install". also, is there a guide I can use?

[02:01] <Flannel> NkZ: you need build-essential though (package)
[02:02] <qmf> something wrong with archive.ubuntu.com?
[02:02] <nexous> okay, i really don't want to screw up chmod using sudo can you help me out a little?
[02:02] <NkZ> thanks! :-)
[02:02] <nexous> sudo chmod o+x /var/www/
[02:03] <nexous> is that what i should run?
[02:03] <Flannel> er..why do you want to add execute?
[02:03] <nexous> idk
[02:03] <nexous> sudo chmod o+w /var/www/
[02:03] <nexous> ?
[02:03] <nexous> Other and Write is that one?
[02:04] <Flannel> nexous: that's really not a good idea.  Enabling anyone to write.  giving group write perm is safer.
[02:04] <RudyValencia> Is there a media player that can play MP3s and works with hotkeys?
[02:04] <tommyv> anyone know a program i can use to make an html file out of a play list?
[02:05] <nexous> sudo chmod g+w+r /var/www/ ? That then?
[02:05] <RudyValencia> (such as those found on a "multimedia keyboard"?)
[02:05] <mister_roboto> tommyv: sed?
[02:05] <Flannel> nexous: g+wr
[02:05] <tommyv> mister_roboto, is that in the repositories?
[02:05] <nexous> Flannel: once i run ' sudo chmod g+wr /var/www/' is konsole suppose to return anything?
[02:05] <mister_roboto> tommyv: no, sorry, just a joke. it's a standard unix utility that you can use to pipe a playlist through a script to add html decorations :)
[02:05] <Flannel> nexous: no.  It'll just do it.

[02:06] <Aggrav8d> hello!
[02:06] <nexous> Yah! Thanks, I can actually finish deving my cms now :D
[02:06] <NkZ> Eh, you can blame me for have a real lousy short memory, but what was the guide to use the "Make, Make Install"?
[02:07] <xtknight> NkZ: generally you do "./configure", "make" and then "sudo make install" to compile a program.  some programs use autogen.sh instead of ./configure

[02:08] <linux_user400354> hello, im using gnome-screensaver now instead of xscreensaver, but it is having an extra problem. the screensaver comes on while in a full screen game. ive tried scripts to pause it and they were not working, but it should be able to work the same as xscreensaver and see that i am using the computer to play a full screen game.
[02:09] <oljanx> why would my wireless card all of the sudden cease to work when I unplug or plug in my laptop?
[02:09] <oljanx> only working in ubuntu again after a cold boot
[02:09] <samalex> Has anyone gotten Office 2000 or XP working with Wine without using Crossover Office?  Just curious.
[02:09] <Dhjiz> so
[02:10] <Dhjiz> hello everybody
[02:10] <Dhjiz> finally I found the solution of my problem
[02:10] <Dhjiz> on ubuntuforums
[02:10] <drx> greetings -- anyone know how to view an SDL Console without VNC?
[02:10] <carlos> Hi all, is there a way to avoid the prompt for the default key ring
[02:10] <Dhjiz> yesterday I touched a setting in the BIOS
[02:10] <Dhjiz> I put the Internal modem from enabled to disabled
[02:10] <Dhjiz> and I don't know how, it disabled my sound card too
[02:11] <Dhjiz> the internel modem and sound card seem to be linked
[02:11] <rotero> Dhjiz:  Do they share an IRQ?
[02:11] <Dhjiz> I dunno
[02:11] <Dhjiz> maybe
[02:11] <Dhjiz> I enabled internal modem again and now I can enjoy sound
[02:12] <Dhjiz> so now you know
[02:12] <rotero> Dhjiz:  You can probably adjust IRQ settings in the BIOS as well.
[02:12] <Dhjiz> don't touch your BIOS if everything works good
[02:12] <Dhjiz> :p
[02:12] <Dhjiz> maybe
[02:12] <humpinH> hi, do you know how i can take a webcam pic from the terminal and save it as DATE.jpeg?
[02:13] <Dhjiz> but now that it's working, I'm not gonna touch anything for now :D
[02:13] <variant> humpinH: yeah, what command do you use to grab the image?
[02:14] <humpinH> not sure :P
[02:14] <variant> humpinH: wait a sek then, i will help
[02:15] <humpinH> variant, thanks a lot
[02:15] <daviey> Anybody know how to configure hotwayd  (hotmail to pop3)??
[02:15] <linux_user400354> why does gnome-screensaver-command -i not give me my prompt back. then what is it useful for?
[02:15] <nixnoo1> hey intutivenipple
[02:15] <Aggrav8d> i'd like to learn about setting up an email server that runs two virtual domains.  can anyone give me some pointers?  I've already (blindly) followed the steps @ https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/email-services.html
[02:16] <variant> humpinH: this is what your looking for: http://linuxbrit.co.uk/camE/
[02:16] <phixnay> how do I fix this "ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf64-x86-64 (/usr/lib/libsicuuc.a(ubidi.ao)) to format elf32-i386 (gdi32.oT3iIv.o) is not supported"
[02:16] <nixnoo1> i cannot get my wifi card to associate to an access point
[02:16] <variant> i was gonna sugest a nice little command to embed the date in the ouput but that program allready supports it :)
[02:16] <variant> humpinH: i was gonna sugest a nice little command to embed the date in the ouput but that program allready supports it :)
[02:16] <nixnoo1> i used ndiswrapper to install the driver
[02:16] <daviey> nixnoo1, have you installed networking-manager??
[02:17] <L0cKd0wN> anyone know how to get an internet connection in ubuntu, under VMWare Workstation?
[02:17] <nixnoo1> yes it comes with 6.10 edgy
[02:17] <daviey> L0cKd0wN, what is the host OS??
[02:17] <L0cKd0wN> daviey: windows xp
[02:17] <daviey> nixnoo1, are you sure!??!!?
[02:17] <daviey> L0cKd0wN, no idea then.... sorry
[02:17] <nixnoo1> daviey, yes.
[02:17] <L0cKd0wN> lol....
[02:18] <FairLite> L0cKd0wN, if VMWare is configured for standard NAT as is by default, it should work out of the box with DHCP
[02:18] <daviey> nixnoo1, didn't come with my edgy install.. i had to install it separately.  Okay, does that recognize your AP?
[02:18] <nixnoo1> no it doesnt...
[02:18] <linux_user400354> why does gnome-screensaver-command -i not give me my prompt back. then what is it useful for?
[02:19] <nixnoo1> ive tried manually specifying it but it still does not associate
[02:19] <daviey> nixnoo1, install wifi-radar and see if that sees it
[02:19] <L0cKd0wN> FairLite: well 'ifconfig' returns the proper IP address for my system
[02:19] <nixnoo1> apt-get install wifi-radar?
[02:19] <frogzoo> wow, netem is awesome
[02:19] <daviey> nixnoo1, yes
[02:19] <L0cKd0wN> FairLite: ubuntu is getting the proper IP...
[02:20] <rotero> linux_user400354:  Check the man page?  Google?  I'm sure the options are documented.
[02:20] <FairLite> L0cKd0wN: then make sure you set up a DNS server
[02:20] <linux_user400354> rotero: i think you assumed that i havent done that already
[02:20] <daviey> L0cKd0wN, what happens if you ping your XP machine?
[02:20] <Sephiroth> I used the package manager to install apache2. How would I figure out where the configuration for the Apache2 server is? I can't seem to figure out how to enable mod_rewrite.
[02:20] <|Jason8|> Hey guys, .deb files are supported by ubuntu, right?  How do I install it?
[02:20] <L0cKd0wN> dunno, restarting the session, lets see what happens :)
[02:21] <L0cKd0wN> i have to say tho, ubuntu on top of windows xp
[02:21] <L0cKd0wN> is sexy
[02:21] <L0cKd0wN> :D
[02:21] <nixnoo1> daviey wow, i get alot of errors.
[02:21] <pate4ever> hey everyone
[02:21] <nixnoo1> interface does not support scanning
[02:22] <daviey> |Jason8|, sudo dpkg -i packagename or double click it!! ;)
[02:22] <pate4ever> i am having trouble with my wireless device, can anyone help me?
[02:22] <daviey> nixnoo1, what errors?
[02:22] <nixnoo1> interface doesnt suport scaning
[02:22] <L0cKd0wN> FairLite, daviey: works now :D
[02:22] <daviey> nixnoo1, oh that shouldn't be a problem.......  it's trying to scan on all ethX devices
[02:22] <unperson> Hi, I setup an mdadm software RAID when I installed Ubuntu.  I now want to take one of these RAID0 devices get rid of it so that I can reformat those disk partitions for use as normal, non-RAID devices.  What steps should I take?  The RAID device is currently not used for anything (it's mounted as /storage).
[02:23] <|Jason8|> daviey, whenever I double-click it, it says "Archive Type Not supported"  It does that for any .deb file I've downloaded.
[02:23] <daviey> L0cKd0wN, what did you do?
[02:23] <nrdb> I have a feature request for the login requester, it would be handy to be able to change the keyboard layout for the login, as you can change the language, as I have two uses one uses qwerty on uses dvorak, could this be done ?
[02:23] <nixnoo1> ok so i should wait for it to get to wlan0
[02:23] <unperson> I would think that I'd just need to unmount it, remove the corresponding entries from mdadm.conf and fstab and then I can just format the partitions.  Am I missing something necessary?
[02:23] <steelb> what do i get in linux instead of a blue screen of death?
[02:24] <FairLite> steelb: a kernel oops
[02:24] <daviey> nixnoo1, hmm it should be instant.  what do you get back from iwconfig (in pastebin)?
[02:24] <variant> steelb: a kernel panic
[02:24] <nixnoo1> hang on
[02:24] <|Jason8|> ...
[02:24] <vivicrow> hello...i am scanning my windows drive with ClamAV running on ubuntu right now, what can I do next if it finds some viruses??
[02:24] <steelb> i <3 those
[02:25] <variant> steelb: there is a screensaver that includes all the traditional BSODS like that.. it is called BSOD and has solaris,bsd,apple,windows,linux etc
[02:25] <unperson> steelb, In my experience a kernel panic is the closest thing but not really a similar experience because a) it doesn't happen nearly as often as the blue screen of death, and b) it generally seems to be a much more serious problem when it does happen.
[02:25] <variant> vivicrow: delete them
[02:26] <|Jason8|> whenever I double-click a .deb file, it says "Archive Type Not supported"  It does that for any .deb file I've downloaded.  Am I missing some repository or something?
[02:26] <vivicrow> any healling tools in linux?
[02:26] <L0cKd0wN> daviey: vmware has different networking options, switched it to "share the hosts IP address"
[02:26] <L0cKd0wN> daviey: then restarted the virtual session
[02:26] <pate4ever> i am having trouble with my wireless device, can anyone help me? i think that i have configured the device correctly but i can't use it to connect to the internet
[02:26] <daviey> |Jason8|, do you have gdebi installed?  Should have - it's default.  But try sudo apt-get install gdebi.  Then right click on a deb file and open with gdebi
[02:26] <variant> vivicrow: linux is a kernel
[02:26] <daviey> L0cKd0wN, cool
[02:26] <tamacracker> hm... XChat has a folder named Downloads, and I'm havin a hard time findin it.
[02:26] <|Jason8|> daviey, thanks.  I'll check that out.
[02:27] <TheDebugger> tamacracker: Look in ~/.xchat
[02:27] <tamacracker> ok
[02:27] <progek> Hi room, I am trying to create an account on a remote machine with adduser but I cannot seem to set a password for the username. For example.. sudo adduser -p does not work, neither does sudo adduser --password   any ideas? I need to create a new user on a remote machine (no vnc) and create a public_html folder.
[02:27] <unperson> variant, An accurate and yet completely useless answer.
[02:27] <shatrat> pate4ever, wireless stuff can be a pain, you may need firmware or something, read the !wireless how-tos and try and find one for your particular hardware.
[02:27] <shane_b> !
[02:27] <variant> progek: useradd -m -G addgroupshere usernamehere
[02:27] <pate4ever> shatrat where can i find a wireless howto?
[02:27] <variant> progek: then passwd username
[02:27] <daviey> tamacracker, or  ~/.xchat2
[02:27] <shatrat> !wireless|pate4ever
[02:27] <ubotu> pate4ever: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:27] <progek> variant, thanks for that
[02:27] <Megaqwerty> where is the program 'xinetd' started from? I want to alter its startup flags...unless someone can help me convert a configuration line from inetd format to xinetd format.
[02:28] <nixnoo1> pastebin is going really slow
[02:28] <pate4ever> great thanks guys
[02:28] <frogzoo> Megaqwerty: by default xinetd is not installed
[02:28] <tamacracker> ok
[02:28] <|Jason8|> daviey, I did the sudo apt-get install gdebi, said package not found
[02:28] <Megaqwerty> frogzoo: really? I wonder what I have that depends on it.
[02:29] <Sephiroth> I used the package manager to install apache2. How would I figure out where the configuration for the Apache2 server is? I can't seem to figure out how to enable mod_rewrite.
[02:29] <L0cKd0wN> how do i change screen resolution manually if the mode isn't listed?
[02:29] <Megaqwerty> frogzoo: anyway, the problem still stands.
[02:29] <frogzoo> Sephiroth: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[02:29] <Sephiroth> Thank you.
[02:29] <frogzoo> Megaqwerty: ru sure you've xinetd installed?
[02:29] <sparr> L0cKd0wN: open a terminal, type "xrandr"
[02:29] <nixnoo1> daviey, http://pastebin.com/871717
[02:29] <daviey> |Jason8|, something is seriously wrong.  It is meant to be installed as default and i'm sure it's not a multiverse pacakge
[02:30] <Mazin> !make.conf
[02:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about make.conf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:30] <shatrat> L0cKd0wN, you can add a mode to /etc/X11/xorg.conf if there isnt one of the right size for you if there isnt one for what you want.
[02:30] <frogzoo> Megaqwerty: /etc/rc2.d/S20xinetd
[02:30] <Mazin> where is make.conf on ubuntu?
[02:30] <Megaqwerty> frogzoo: yeah, i have a man entry for it, and a config file, and so on.
[02:30] <|Jason8|> daviey, okay.  can I go look for it in the synaptic package manager?
[02:30] <unperson> Sephiroth, In generally, if you want to see what files a package installed, you can do 'dpkg -L packagename' I believe.
[02:30] <gaspipe1> sup all

[02:32] <gaspipe1> how do I update video drivers?
[02:32] <gaspipe1> everything looks so big and and like in "safe mode"

[02:33] <Megaqwerty> frogzoo: ^^
[02:33] <daviey> nixnoo1, same here and eth1 is my wireless
[02:33] <shatrat> nikitis, system/preferences/theme
[02:33] <nixnoo1> daviey, should it matter?
[02:34] <TheDebugger> nikitis: Or.. ~/.themes
[02:34] <nikitis> shatrat: no, not how you install it.  Where do the Theme files go
[02:34] <nikitis> TheDebugger: thanks
[02:34] <L0cKd0wN> i think it has to do with vmware
[02:34] <L0cKd0wN> the reason the resolution won't show up....
[02:34] <TheDebugger> nikitis: You can drag&drop the tar.gz in the theme window too
[02:34] <shatrat> nikitis, well, you can download a theme in a tar.gz archive and install it using the Install Themes button on the theme manager, or you can extract it into the .themes directory.
[02:34] <daviey> nixnoo1, no - but i'm confused, there seems to be less information avaliable.
[02:35] <|Jason8|> daviey, I figured out why it wasn't found.  That package is called gdeb, not gdebi.  Thanks for the help :)
[02:35] <daviey> nixnoo1, i'm just wondering if it is trying to act as an AP itself
[02:35] <daviey> |Jason8|, gdeb is a different package
[02:36] <nixnoo1> daviey, lol why would it do that
[02:36] <Mazin> where is make.conf
[02:36] <Mazin> or does ubuntu even have one?
[02:36] <daviey> nixnoo1, dunno
[02:36] <|Jason8|> daviey... okay.  so I don't have gdebi.  Interesting.
[02:36] <cafuego_> why would there be a make.conf?

[02:59] <JiJi87> get a error message?
[02:59] <java> it trys to open some grub1.5 but it says Error
[02:59] <nofxx> what's the difference "install to hard disk"  and  "install a worstation"  in the edubuntu cd?
[02:59] <java> ^^
[02:59] <rotero> I get "No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth" and "Screens found, but none have a usable configuration."  Any advice?

[02:59] <JiJi87> you have a xp disc?
[02:59] <java> yes
[03:00] <PetFish> lo - My k/b layout seams a little odd. I cant use quotation marks with out having to double press the 2 key whilst holding SHIFT - But even then it doesnt look correct, same with single apostrophie.
[03:00] <JiJi87> your going to install it and go into recovery mode I believe, it will bring you to a text prompt, like dos
[03:00] <Madpilot> nofxx, try #edubuntu

[03:01] <bryan> can i get full stable access to an ntfs partion with ubuntu?
[03:01] <shatrat> tom_, if you mount it at /media/windows it will appear on your desktop, thats probably the easiest way
[03:01] <rafase282> hello
[03:01] <JiJi87> but look around in there and you will probably see what you need
[03:01] <Hisakasex> when I ping fooofff.mydomain.com, mydomain.com responds the ping .. what could be the problem?
[03:01] <tom__> okay how do i set it to auto mount to /media/windows?
[03:01] <java> lol
[03:02] <Hisakasex> fooofff is not a subdomain in mydomain.com
[03:02] <shatrat> tom_, just edit that line in the /etc/fstab?
[03:02] <tom__> thanks
[03:02] <tom__> :)
[03:02] <bryan> can i get full stable access to an ntfs partion with ubuntu?  please :)

[03:05] <|Jason8|> My main hard drive is NTFS with windows on it.  How would I mount that drive so I can access the files on it?
[03:05] <Faithful> who_cares: I would usually leave the root alone and do a directory alias
[03:05] <Hisakasex> what do I have to config to make my server responds ping only to a valid subdomain in my domain?
[03:05] <Hisakasex> when I ping fooofff.mydomain.com, mydomain.com responds the ping .. what could be the problem?
[03:05] <Hisakasex> fooofff is not a subdomain in mydomain.com

[03:08] <xdude> bryan the NtfsFuse says it may be unsafe...  guess its still experiemental..  |)
[03:08] <who_cares> is there some reason for directories in /home to be 403 (It's mounted from hdb if that matters)
[03:08] <frogzoo> pesb10: Layout = US English ( and not US English with dead keys)

[03:10] <sadraque> ola
[03:10] <pate4ever> mattyv: it's definitely blinking and it views some of the available wireless networks so i assume it works
[03:10] <Roberto55> govori li hrvatski netko?
[03:10] <sadraque> alo amigo
[03:10] <bryan> shatrat  >>quick access to drives is best accomplished how?
[03:10] <murilo> I founded many post in the forum about problems to get any burner program to recognize blank medias .. but no answers. Someone knows what is happening?
[03:11] <frogzoo> pesb10: if you do a clean install it will format the drive/partitions before installing
[03:11] <Roberto55> 7.04 is good
[03:11] <rafase282> u could use k3b
[03:11] <nofxx> hm..Installin edubuntu......after "install to hard disk" it says "Decompressing Linux...Done" "Booting the kernel" ... and stops...i can write.. but it dosent do anything...... what I'm not doing?
[03:11] <mattyv> pate4ever: Ok it's probably detected alright. I suggest turning off any encryption on your network while you get it setup, then add the security later. Are you using wep or wpa?
[03:12] <frogzoo> Roberto55: if you spruik 7.04 here, they'll all be back here when it breaks
[03:12] <pate4ever> mattyv: that's a good question. i don't know
[03:12] <murilo> k3b doesnt works too
[03:12] <pate4ever> mattyv: and i don't know how to find out, eiter
[03:12] <Roberto55> i know
[03:12] <mattyv> pate4ever: Ah I see, so you aren't the person who configures the network?
[03:12] <pesb10> frogzoo: ic...ok. thanks
[03:13] <pate4ever> matyv: my roomate and i did, but he left for israel
[03:13] <pate4ever> matyv: unfortunately i know little about it
[03:13] <murilo> keep asking me to put a blank media on the drive but is already there (4 weeks ago was everything fine and i just made simple updates)
[03:13] <frogzoo> pesb10: try reinstalling the US English keyboard layout maybe
[03:13] <Roberto55> frogzoo is it possible to find good protection for my ubuntu
[03:13] <mattyv> pate4ever: ok, I'm looking for info on your card so I get a better idea of what you need to do...
[03:14] <frogzoo> Roberto55: good protection?
[03:14] <Roberto55> somethinf like a security
[03:14] <shatrat> It is securty
[03:14] <Roberto55> firewall
[03:14] <shatrat> already there
[03:14] <distro-tester> !seen sabdfl
[03:14] <ubotu> sabdfl is on IRC right now!
[03:14] <pate4ever> mattyv: i can see the mac address of my device on my router info page
[03:14] <frogzoo> Roberto55: look into iptables, chkrootkit & tripwire - all that & you're bulletproof
[03:15] <frogzoo> !firestarter | Roberto55
[03:15] <ubotu> Roberto55: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[03:19] <Hisakasex> I need somebody to tell me why when I ping to anything.mydomain.com my server responds the ping.. anything is not a valid subdomain
[03:19] <dregin> I've googled but I'm not sure what the best option is for reading NTFS partitions from edgy?
[03:19] <mattyv> pate4ever: Ok, I'm not sure what chipset you have then :( Do you know the name of your wireless network? ie. the essid
[03:19] <dregin> anyone have any recommendations?
[03:19] <Naik0> i have two screen enabled, irssi and rtorrent. How do i close rtorrent scren "pts-2" ?
[03:20] <pate4ever> mattyv: yes the essid is dd-wrt
[03:20] <jrib> dregin: anything you want, just mount the drive.  reading works fine

[03:20] <ubotu> dregin: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:20] <Ashton_Ke> From a clean install, not adding any new software, just running updates, the wireless driver (madwifi, located in the restricted modules), eventually quits. And if I try and restart the wireless, the computer locks up. Restarting X doesn't work, everything is completely frozen.
[03:20] <Ashton_Ke> Anyone else notice this?
[03:20] <Roberto55> frogzoo sorry for my english... i want to ask you about hack attack over internet... is it firestarter  goodone to protect my comp
[03:20] <frogzoo> dregin: for read only, you're best of with the read only ntfs
[03:20] <dregin> jrib: wasnt aware of that :)
[03:20] <frogzoo> Roberto55: yep

[03:27] <threethirty> hello all
[03:27] <mattyv> pate4ever: Leave that for now as well, it applies to WEP. Hopefully it isn't needed because if you don't know the WEP key it could be hard to get around
[03:27] <MsCleo> hello frogzoo
[03:27] <MsCleo> you here too eh ?
[03:27] <pesb10> any know why when i click sys > admin > printing ...it write cannot connect CUPS server
[03:27] <pesb10> what should i do?
[03:28] <pate4ever> mattyv: i don't think there is a password as my new roomate, who uses windows, can access the network w/o a password
[03:28] <Ashton_Ke> Anyone noticing a lot of instability in Ubuntu?
[03:28] <MsCleo> ?
[03:28] <mattyv> pate4ever: Ah that's very good
[03:28] <Ashton_Ke> I've had 2 crashes in 10 minutes.
[03:28] <MsCleo> how so aston ?
[03:28] <frogzoo> Ashton_Ke: nopers, can't say I have
[03:28] <Roberto55> what do you think about softpedia software
[03:28] <MsCleo> what do you mean ?
[03:28] <frogzoo> Ashton_Ke: check /var/log/messages for whinges  - what were you doing at the time?
[03:28] <MsCleo> they do mac and *nix there
[03:29] <Ashton_Ke> In here, on IRC.
[03:29] <Ashton_Ke> It has to do with the wireless driver.
[03:29] <MsCleo> got a real neat app there recently Robert - plays birds and rain
[03:29] <mattyv> pate4ever: Try it with DHCP for now, your router probably has it turned on and will give you an I address automatically
[03:29] <pate4ever> mattyv: so should i try and connect to the network now?
[03:29] <high-bass> guys i keep tring to install freeglut3 and i keep getting package dependence and broken package errors... more detail in here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3536
[03:29] <MsCleo> scarin' da nrighborrs
[03:29] <high-bass> im totally lost :/
[03:29] <pate4ever> mattyv: okay hold on while i try this
[03:29] <high-bass> search forums and coudnlt find anything relating to my issue
[03:29] <mattyv> pate4ever: Yep, click ok a couple of times, it may pause for a bit while it tries
[03:29] <Ashton_Ke> Wireless eventually cuts out, then when I try and restart the wireless, everything freezes. X doesn't respond to commands to restart.
[03:30] <MsCleo> if I'm going for OS Desktop ease of use, is ubuntu for me ? or Fedora ?
[03:30] <pate4ever> mattyv: it is blinking now
[03:30] <MsCleo> I don't want to end up a sys admin
[03:30] <MsCleo> just to browse the net
[03:30] <Roberto55> ubuntu
[03:30] <gma> MsCleo: definitely ubuntu then
[03:30] <dxdt> Ubuntu
[03:30] <Ashton_Ke> This is using the drivers that came with Ubuntu.
[03:30] <MsCleo> ok
[03:30] <dxdt> for the win
[03:30] <MsCleo> off to get it
[03:30] <Ashton_Ke> Well MsCleo, you're in an Ubuntu channel.
[03:30] <MsCleo> is it a DVD now ?
[03:30] <gma> MsCleo: would be interesting to see what they say in #fedora
[03:30] <Ashton_Ke> The answer is going to be obviously Ubuntu.
[03:30] <MsCleo> ashton -heh heh heh
[03:30] <Roberto55> fedora is my other OS, experimentaly
[03:30] <Ashton_Ke> Try both.
[03:30] <Ashton_Ke> They're free.
[03:30] <MsCleo> I just need ease of use - for dev
[03:31] <MsCleo> ok
[03:31] <Ashton_Ke> Ubuntu is a CD, I think Fedora is a DVD now.
[03:31] <MsCleo> damn language only works on *nix
[03:31] <MsCleo> so, time to switch
[03:31] <Ashton_Ke> ?
[03:31] <mattyv> pate4ever: Alright, see how you go getting on the internet with wireless then
[03:31] <chona> why does session_register()  AND session_is_registered() doesn't seem to work in PHP5??
[03:31] <MsCleo> oh, DVD could mean more stuff heh
[03:31] <gma> MsCleo: what's the language?
[03:31] <MsCleo> Fortress
[03:31] <MsCleo> it's new from Sun
[03:31] <startgame412> hello room hows it going
[03:31] <MsCleo> all loops are parallel by default
[03:31] <Ashton_Ke> Yes, but it's also a slightly more daunting installer.
[03:31] <pate4ever> mattyv: okay hold on i may lose the connection
[03:31] <Ashton_Ke> Slightly.
[03:31] <gma> MsCleo: right. forget the dvd thing if you have broadband
[03:31] <Ashton_Ke> (Not as bad as Gentoo, :P)
[03:31] <MsCleo> so, a fori=1 to 10  ? next i ?   could be carried out with i=3 FIRST, then i=1 heh
[03:32] <chona> it functioned well using PHP4 but now it doesn't..
[03:32] <MsCleo> looks to me to be one powerful language
[03:32] <MsCleo> says it's designed to be THE language for future supercomputers and lessers
[03:32] <MsCleo> makes sense to me to check it out heh - and see what it can do to clean up my thinking processes
[03:32] <Ashton_Ke> Anyone who says that a language is "THE BEST" for everything, is being foolish.
[03:32] <MsCleo> well, as to supercomputers
[03:32] <gma> MsCleo: ubuntu comes with more stuff than you can shake a stick at, but it's not all on the install disk
[03:32] <MsCleo> came out of Darpa
[03:32] <Ashton_Ke> Indeed.
[03:32] <MsCleo> Sun just released an alpha
[03:33] <mattyv> pate4ever: Oh, you might need to go back to the network config and disable the wired and enable the wirless, also set the default gateway to the wireless. Change it back if you dropout
[03:33] <MsCleo> no, it really has a lot of thought into it, I've been reading the white papers
[03:33] <giuseppe> is there someone who is informed about clarkkent's work?
[03:33] <pate4ever> mattyv: that did not work
[03:33] <MsCleo> it's designed to simply be component oriented -
[03:33] <gma> MsCleo: reading...
[03:33] <Ashton_Ke> Ubuntu is also a bit... bloated. This means it's a bit slower than some other distros, but it'll also support more hardware out of the box than most distros too.
[03:33] <mabus> MsCleo: and what did they tell you about my future?
[03:33] <MsCleo> it looks like all I want -   reliable re-use from components, and everything else is a block
[03:33] <pate4ever> mattyv: okay let me do this. i will be right back
[03:33] <Roberto55> i am confused about security on my ubuntu
[03:33] <Ashton_Ke> How so?
[03:33] <MsCleo> mabus - they said, call ms cleo now, and find out your future !
[03:33] <MsCleo> heh mabus -
[03:34] <MsCleo> I think she got busted
[03:34] <gma> MsCleo: ah, it's guy steele again. lisp and java guru.
[03:34] <mattyv> pate4ever: If my last suggestion doesn't work I'll try to think of a way of finding out a bit more
[03:34] <MsCleo> yes
[03:34] <startgame412> I run Ubuntu on a virtual machine
[03:34] <MsCleo> Guy Steele is behind it yes
[03:34] <MsCleo> and Chase
[03:34] <gma> MsCleo: and it's like fortran??
[03:34] <high-bass> anyone here know how to get opengl libraries working on linux?
[03:35] <Roberto55> i try to believe the ubuntu is my first power os
[03:35] <Ashton_Ke> Okay... why are you confused?
[03:36] <MsCleo> gma -it's advertised as doing for fortran what java did for c
[03:36] <MsCleo> but better
[03:36] <gma> ah
[03:36] <giuseppe> is there someone who is informed about clarkkent's work?
[03:36] <MsCleo> it's advertised as one step beyond java
[03:36] <gma> fair
[03:36] <MsCleo> so, that's another appeal
[03:36] <gma> have they re-invented smalltalk yet? ;)
[03:36] <MsCleo> I know there is an architect from java working to reach one step further, so, that's part why I'm interested
[03:36] <Roberto55> i am confused because is very hard to learn about all that
[03:36] <Hatty> how do i burn a bin/cue from the commandline using cdrecord. cdrdao wont burn it (therefore keb and gnomebaker wont) because it has a PREGAP. Or is there a way to change k3b + gnomebaker to use cdrecord temporarily?
[03:36] <pate4ever> mattyv: did not work
[03:36] <Ashton_Ke> Learn all about what?
[03:36] <MsCleo> it's neat gma  - it's designed to use mathematical symbiology
[03:36] <MsCleo> even the prettied up latex level of presentation
[03:37] <MsCleo> now, picture coding like THAT heh
[03:37] <MsCleo> had built in Set operations too - like Union
[03:37] <giuseppe> is there someone who is informed about clarkkent's work?
[03:37] <Ashton_Ke> Security in Linux is a lot easier than Windows, mostly because we're a smaller target for virus manufacturing, and our software updates move faster.
[03:37] <MsCleo> just BAmmo  MyArray U YourArray
[03:37] <mattyv> pate4ever: :( We need to find out the actual chipset of your card
[03:37] <MsCleo> and it's not hooky like c++
[03:37] <Ashton_Ke> Mostly it's making sure your software is up to date (it'll ask for you to upgrade when it isn't), and making sure you're behind a firewall.
[03:37] <Ashton_Ke> That's about it.
[03:37] <gma> I think it's bed time
[03:38] <MsCleo> where you have these [(x r :: c.stop)::N_Seed[0(1)] ::NO
[03:38] <MsCleo> where you have these [(x r :: c.stop)::N_Seed[0(1)] ::NO]  operations
[03:38] <Roberto55> what about brute fore or ddos
[03:38] <gma> MsCleo: interesting stuff. will have a read. need to sleep now though!
[03:38] <pate4ever> mattyv: how do i figure that out?
[03:38] <MsCleo> that's like sending 20,000 troops robert
[03:38] <mattyv> pate4ever: I have a few things to try: dmesg | grep -i wlan0
[03:38] <MsCleo> gma - yep, that's wher eI leave it, interesting, and I'm checkin' it out heh
[03:38] <daaku> anyone know of a console imap mail notifier? (only notification of new mail for some imap paths)
[03:38] <Roberto55> i don't understand
[03:39] <Ashton_Ke> Brute force is dependant on how good your password is, ddos is another beast all together, but that tends to target websites more than individuals.
[03:39] <pate4ever> mattyv: okay i did that only i used rausb0 instead
[03:39] <mattyv> pate4ever: Also, if you have the box for the card it might list the rev # somewhere, or it might be on the device itself
[03:39] <giuseppe> is there someone who is informed about clarkkent's work?
[03:39] <startgame412> any here running ubuntu on a virtual pc?
[03:39] <frogzoo> !mail-notification | daaku
[03:39] <ubotu> mail-notification: mail notification in system tray. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.dfsg.1-3ubuntu8 (edgy), package size 328 kB, installed size 1360 kB
[03:39] <jrib> giuseppe: superman?
[03:39] <distro-tester> night
[03:39] <giuseppe> yes
[03:39] <tavdash> hey guys, what chipset do i want to go with when choosing a wireless card??
[03:39] <dregin> if I'm manually adding an SATA drive to fstab and the drive is SFS is it okay to just copy the line I have for my NTFS drive and swap the relevant details?
[03:39] <dregin> like this
[03:39] <Roberto55> ok, i installing firestarter and what is next
[03:39] <dregin> /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 ntfs ro,user,fmask=0133,dmask=0022,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
[03:39] <dregin> /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 sfs ro,user,fmask=0133,dmask=0022,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
[03:39] <dregin> ??
[03:39] <mattyv> pate4ever: Another command to try is "cat /etc/network/interfaces"
[03:39] <jrib> giuseppe: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:40] <giuseppe> thanks
[03:40] <pate4ever> mattyv: hmmm rausb0 (WE) : Driver using old /proc/net/wireless support, please fix driver !
[03:40] <MsCleo> well, I came here from Solaris
[03:40] <MsCleo> I WAS going to install that -
[03:40] <frogzoo> !hardware | tavdash
[03:40] <ubotu> tavdash: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:40] <MsCleo> but - was told it's mainly for business, and it's somewhat kludgy
[03:40] <MsCleo> so, here comes ubuntu
[03:40] <tavdash> thx frogzoo
[03:40] <startgame412> gueeppe is your host operating system windows?
[03:40] <MsCleo> and NEVER - Vista -heh
[03:40] <toko123> greetings
[03:40] <brianski> is there a command that tells gnome to open a file using whatever gnome is configured to use? something like "start" in windows or "open" in mac os x?
[03:40] <toko123> I want to compile php5 from source
[03:40] <toko123> no gcc found?
[03:41] <brianski> ie if its a text file, open gedit, if its a video, open mplayer, etc.
[03:41] <leonardo> Why Ctrl+Alt+Backspace dont wokr here? please
[03:41] <Flannel> daaku: ixbiff flashes keyboard lights ;)  dnotify will work too.
[03:41] <Peps> It seems that on my system (running dapper) hal is using pmount and not pmount-hal. Can anyone tell me where I can change that?
[03:41] <LakeTown> Hello all. I have an Ubuntu box on which I've installed Edgy. However, since it doens't support WPA out of the box, I have to get Network Manager for Gnome and the only way I know to do that is through the Terminal. So, to get the Network Manager, I need to be connected, which is why I need it. Does anyone know where I could get it so I can burn it on a disk and configure it in Ubuntu afterwards?
[03:41] <toko123> I'm runnning 6.06
[03:41] <brianski> toko123, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:41] <Roberto55> ok, and my last question is how to emulation word, excel on ubuntu
[03:41] <Flannel> toko123: why do you want to compile php5?
[03:41] <mattyv> pate4ever: Hmm that;s strange, the fact that it's listed as rausb suggests to me that it's a raling chipset of some sort, which is usually a good thing. But they normally just work
[03:41] <MsCleo> WOW - the ubunto site is great
[03:41] <Syco54645> i need some help with vsftpd
[03:41] <Roberto55> thanks
[03:41] <MsCleo> they have REAL people on there
[03:41] <Ashton_Ke> Rborto, that's not necessary, Open Office works fine.
[03:41] <leonardo> anyone please, why ctrl alt backspace dont work?
[03:41] <pate4ever> mattyv: okay well where can i find the chipset? i have the box here
[03:41] <goonies> good evening, i just did a fresh install of ubuntu and removed a couple things, like evolution, now when i try to log into gnome i get the brown wallpaper screen no panels no nothing, i dont think it even logs in
[03:41] <daaku> Flannel: flashing keyboard lights - nice!
[03:42] <Ashton_Ke> And it can save documents and such in regular Office formats, so MIcrosoft Word and such can read it.
[03:42] <goonies> would it specifically be evolution causing trouble?
[03:42] <Syco54645> i need to give a user foo (that already exists) the ability to login to my vsftpd server... how can i do that?
[03:42] <Ashton_Ke> Give it a try, it's under applications -> Office
[03:42] <brianski> goonies, uh. evolution crashing should have nothing to do with it. evolution == mail client
[03:42] <goonies> no
[03:42] <goonies> i removed it
[03:42] <volcom> Syco54645, did you add him a user through vsftpd
[03:42] <goonies> with a couple other things
[03:42] <LakeTown> Is it even possible to get Network Manager and burn it?
[03:42] <mattyv> pate4ever: Not exactly sure, just look for the word revision, or rev...something like that
