[06:48] <ben32167> ununtu is my new project, started 10 mins ago
[06:48] <dabaR> harisund: what does it tell you?
[06:48] <mzuverink> harisund:basically I want to beable to install the system and then to have the remaining 70 gigs or so beable to have one giant /home
[06:48] <dabaR> ben32167: ya, that one totally sucks.
[06:49] <intelikey> harisund please allow a little time before you repete like that
[06:49] <derrick__> before I reloaded, Wow, and pretty much any game would run on this system, but, now, I am getting terrible graphics performance even though glxinfo claims to have dri on.
[06:49] <harisund> intelikey: Sorry, I didn't mean to repeat.. I only wanted to msg mzuverink .. my previous command came along .. my apologies..
[06:49] <jerry> ok for a really nice walkthrough for installin wine lemme get you the link
[06:50] <initard> hell, i downloaded a file with firefox and now i cant find it
[06:50] <mzuverink> harisund: do you understand what I mean?
[06:50] <ben32167> project ununtu : fully freebsd but theres a logo of ununtu (same as ubuntu) at sdesktop background
[06:50] <harisund> mzuverink: I am not sure I understand what you want, but I am not sure if there is a way to have 70 Gigs across home if you have 2 independant 40 Gigs..
[06:50] <intelikey> harisund also use the help feture to read about the app before asking what it is "supposed to do"  is a good start.
[06:50] <orbin> initard: default is desktop iirc
[06:50] <arrick> be nice intelikey
[06:50] <_jason> intelikey: or ~/MyDownloads
[06:50] <harisund> intelikey: How do I find out about the help options?
[06:51] <initard> thanks orbin
[06:51] <_jason> initard: or ~/MyDownloads
[06:51] <ben32167> help /?
[06:51] <intelikey> harisund the little life saver on the taskbar
[06:51] <initard> i disabled my desktop and kept looking in /home
[06:51] <initard> good one jason
[06:51] <dabaR> nice and succinct
[06:52] <mzuverink> so when I install, how do I get both drives to be available, I guess I would like to have /home on one drive and the remaining file tree on the other disk?
[06:52] <mmmiiikkkeee> i dotn understand webboard... when i open it... i get a circley thing that says its busy... and then it colses... nothing opens did i install it wron?
[06:52] <baconbacon> lvm does this i think
[06:52] <int21> mzuverink, i dont think u would need that?
[06:53] <dabaR> mzuverink: you manually edit the partition table
[06:53] <initard> well, where's everyone elses Desktop folder, cuz i think i lost mine
[06:53] <_jason> initard: ~/Desktop :)
[06:53] <int21> its on home/user/Desktop
[06:53] <orbin> mmmiiikkkeee: run it in terminal. look for error output
[06:53] <mzuverink> int21:can I use lvm to make both drives apeear as one volume?
[06:53] <int21> capital D
[06:53] <theinternet> DUN DUN DUN DUUUN DUUN
[06:53] <dabaR> mmmiiikkkeee: ya, that does make it hard to understand webboard
[06:54] <intelikey> mzuverink how big are these drives?
[06:54] <int21> i dont support complicated processes mzuverink
[06:54] <initard> yeah, i aint got on
[06:54] <initard> oh there it is lol
[06:54] <poningru> mzuverink: what are you trying to do?
[06:54] <initard> lmao
[06:54] <mmmiiikkkeee> File "/usr/bin/webboard", line 37, in ?
[06:54] <mmmiiikkkeee> whats that mean
[06:55] <baconbacon> mzuverink, definetly the job of lvm
[06:55] <brent> !status
[06:55] <nalioth> mmmiiikkkeee: shouldn't you be in #webboard or ##webboard ?
[06:55] <mzuverink> The two drives are 40 gig each, I have alot of music and I always run out of space, so I want to add the new drive and make it look like one volume
[06:55] <desktophelper> unix is case sensitive initard, ls and type exact begining letters then tab
[06:55] <harisund> intelikey, how do I find out any information about the Network Tools application from the Help section? There is nothing about Network Tools in that..
[06:55] <brent> hello does anyone have any experience setting up wordpress on ubuntu?
[06:56] <mzuverink> I want to be able to span /home over two disks
[06:56] <desktophelper> apt-get wordpress
[06:56] <intelikey> harisund did you search in it ?
[06:56] <brent> im only interested in a local install, not for in/out connections
[06:56] <intelikey> harisund i mean with the <search> option ^
[06:57] <brent> after apt-get install?
[06:57] <harisund> intelikey: What is that now? <search> ^ How do I do that?
[06:57] <baconbacon> mz, lvm!
[06:57] <intelikey> mmmm   press  F   maybe ?
[06:57] <harisund> intelikey: You mean Ctrl F to find?
[06:57] <intelikey> yeah that
[06:58] <brent> you see Im trying to open the install but firefox will not let me it just keeps going in a loop asking me where i want to save the file. i've done this on windows with zero problems, but obviously on linux it is a different process entirely
[06:59] <orbin> brent: you're opening the install in firefox? :-/
[06:59] <harisund> intelikey: The only applications with documentation under Networking are VNC and GnomeMeeting. System Tools too doesn't have what I am looking for.
[06:59] <orbin> brent: isn't it just apt-get install wordpress, then alt+f2 > wordpress?
[07:00] <desktophelper> brent, are u trying to update firefox?
[07:00] <brent> ive installed everything i need for lamp and all services are up and running (i think) but when i try to open the wp-config.php file, either i can only open it with a text editor, or firefox just keeps running a loop of asking me where to save the php file. its driving me crazy and i have not been able to find an easy way to set this up. also theinstructions provided with wp do not provide any info on this
[07:00] <linux_novatos> cmo hago para poder ver video en ubuntu
[07:00] <linux_novatos> ???
[07:00] <intelikey> harisund hard to believe a linux app with no man page... but this is ubuntu, that could happen.
[07:00] <brent> orbin: huh?
[07:01] <harisund> intelikey: I don't even know the name of the app to read a man page for it.
[07:01] <orbin> brent: nvm
[07:01] <brent> am i trying to update firefox? no im trying to get a wordpress install working
[07:01] <orbin> linux_novatos: are you brazilian?
[07:01] <harisund> brent: I believe there is a problem with your instsallation of apache and php. Apparently, apache is not serving php correctly.
[07:02] <brent> everthing has been installed via apt-get, including lamp setup as documented by the wiki
[07:02] <intelikey> hmmm harisund you could click hold down drag to desktop make launcher of it then right click > properties   and see what the command is...
[07:02] <mlowe> !status
[07:02] <intelikey> just a thought
[07:02] <derrick__> anyone have a lead on i915 drivers for ubuntu?
[07:02] <derrick__> right now, my laptop is running the mesa drivers
[07:03] <harisund> intelikey: ok the application is "gnome-nettool" and there is no man page for it.
[07:03] <brent> yes it is i have a localhost running which shows apaches is running as well as php and mysql. i have ben able to run this fine on windows and fedora. i am having trouble getting this running on the debian based system. for some reason i stuck here
[07:03] <babo> phpmyadmin seems to have cached a mysql query ... I can't see what's in my db at the moment. Does anyone know how to refresh it ? I've asked on #phpmyadmin and #mysql already ...
[07:03] <orbin> derrick__: there's a mesa driver?
[07:04] <brent> phpmyadmin shows that lamp works fine and i can serve files. it is the wordpress which will not even open in firefox
[07:04] <harisund> brent: Which wiki guide did you follow?
[07:04] <brent> i am speaking of the wp-config.php file in order to install wordpress
[07:04] <intelikey> harisund hmmmm  "http://www.debian.org/lintian/reports/Tbinary-without-manpage.html"
[07:04] <intelikey> seems you are correct.
[07:05] <brent> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP?highlight=%28apache%29
[07:06] <brent> i used xamp for windows which was easy to setup and i know that ther is a linux version, but i hacve already setup lamp and would like to use the services altready running but i m stuck now
[07:06] <cafuego> babo: phpmyadmin doesn't cache; is firefox caching the output page?
[07:06] <mmmiiikkkeee> when i try yo use webboard i get this:: TypeError: __init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
[07:07] <mmmiiikkkeee> did i install it wrong?
[07:07] <carthik> babo, try ctrl+shift+refresh
[07:07] <harisund> intelikey: Hmm.. ok so there is no manual for that at all? How do I find out? Basically my problem is this. I am using gnome-nettool to find out open ports on a machine <IP_ADDRESS>. It reports 22 (SSH), 23 (Telnet), 21 (FTP) and 80 (Web) correctly. However, I am also running gnump3d streaming music server on 8888, but that is not reported. nmap correctly reports 8888 too.
[07:07] <cafuego> babo: Or trash the ff cache
[07:08] <babo> cafuego: thanks ....  I've tried F5 but phpmyadmin just takes you back to the front page when I try that ? Maybe I should kill my firefox cache ? But that is going to get annoying after a while - keep having to trash the cache ...?
[07:08] <mabus06> Is it possible to boot the livecd without loading gdm or gnome, gnome-desktop or anything?
[07:08] <mmmiiikkkeee> i did: sudo dpkg --install ./webboard_0.2-1breezy_all.deb to install..???
[07:08] <carthik> brent have you read the readme file for wordpress? You may have to create a new virtual host, point it to /etc/wordpress/ or something...
[07:08] <Madpilot> greetings Ubuntubians
[07:08] <derrick__> ...if I ever get this bloody thing to work, I'm gonna write a wiki on how to do it. I've re-installed ubuntu so many times these last two weeks.
[07:08] <carthik> brent, you don't have to install the wordpress package, you can always download wp 2.0.2 and install it as you normally would on a webserver
[07:09] <intelikey> harisund http://lwn.net/Articles/175832/ gives some insite.   then man the commands listed and see how and what they can do...
[07:09] <brent> carthik: i'm looking at the readme right now and it mentions nothing of this which is why im here. so could you help me do this if you know how to please?
[07:09] <brent> you still have to run the setup
[07:09] <carthik> brent, the README.Debian
[07:09] <orbin> derrick__: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver | tail -1
[07:10] <carthik> brent, anyways, why don't you grab the latest wordpress, put that wherever your public_html is and install it, by not installing the debian package?
[07:10] <brent> thats what im trying to do its already installed so let me rephrase that. i have tried the version from wordpress.org and from the apt install. both resut the same
[07:10] <babo> cafuego: I just cleared my ff cache ... but it still doesn't work .... ?
[07:10] <orbin> cafuego: much obliged
[07:10] <cafuego> babo: Hmm...
[07:10] <davecb> hello
[07:10] <davecb> anyone alive?
[07:10] <carthik> brent, oh I see. Okay, are you seeing a blank page?
[07:10] <cafuego> babo: Did you restart ff?
[07:11] <brent> now its a matter of setting it up with the wp-config file, which will not be let run in firefox
[07:11] <carthik> davecb, and "kicking"
[07:11] <davecb> kool X)
[07:11] <derrick__>  /help
[07:11] <cafuego> babo: Actually, run the query from the cmdline,s ee if the result is different.
[07:11] <carthik> brent, you have to edit wp-config.php using a text editor
[07:11] <davecb> im having this problem installing xine can anyone help me out?
[07:11] <concretes> when does obindugo usually come back
[07:11] <intelikey> harisund i'm dl'ing the latest to see if any docs with it.
[07:11] <harisund> intelikey: Ok I guess I will just go ahead and ignore it. There is nothing on the web page you sent me, and from there I went to the actual Gnome NetTool web page, and over there the features page (http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-network/features.shtml) is blank. :D
[07:11] <brent> yeah but it asks where to save the php file, its just in a loop becvause it keeps asking me where to save the file. if i say opren with firefox, just the same loop again
[07:11] <carthik> brent, rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, edit it
[07:12] <brent> already have done this
[07:12] <davecb> help ? =P
[07:12] <carthik> brent, dude, listen -- you cant edit php files by opening them in the browser -- you HAVE to open it in a text editor, in your terminal
[07:12] <concretes> Anyone in here familiar with VMWARE workstation
[07:12] <dhynie> hai..
[07:12] <intelikey> harisund yeah it's a shame that ubuntu put such a junky code in the supported packages
[07:13] <ardchoille> davecb: I installed xine with sudo apt-get install xine-ui
[07:13] <harisund> carthik: But the browser should be displaying his page, right? It shouldn't be asking him to download it right?
[07:13] <carthik> brent, and after you have done that, go to the /wordpress/wp-admin/    directory, this time using firefox
[07:13] <cafuego> concretes: a bit.
[07:13] <davecb> ardchoille, i was doing that but...
[07:13] <derrick__> I was trying to figure out what the different colors of text in this window meant - I had thought that red indicated a private message, but I am having issues figuring out how to do that.
[07:13] <orbin> cafuego: so cat shouldn't be used ... what do you suggest o mighty one?
[07:13] <harisund> intelikey: ok thanks a ton.. don't bother about it .. I guess I will stick with nmap for port scanning ..
[07:13] <carthik> harisund, he has php setup not quite right, but we'll get there in a minute
[07:13] <babo> cafuego: it's on a shared host ... no cmdline access. My app picks it up differently though. There are records there that don't show up in phpmyadmin. Even when I restart ff ... ?
[07:13] <davecb> it says that xine-ui depends on the libxine1 file to proceed with the installation
[07:13] <derrick__> usually /help is a good place to start - apparently not under this client/protocol
[07:13] <_jason> derrick__: your client just highlights lines that begin with your name
[07:13] <baconbacon> red is when your nick is in the msg6
[07:13] <harisund> carthik: yeah .. I was afraid so .. go for it !
[07:13] <brent> sorry not wp-config, i meant wp-install
[07:13] <concretes> Im runing WinXPpro ,  and Ubuntu.. ubuntu is guest.. can i install my Nvidia drivers without vmware going tits up
[07:13] <derrick__> gotcha
[07:13] <intelikey> harisund k
[07:13] <harisund> intelikey: thanks again, and sorry for wasting your time :D
[07:14] <carthik> brent, not wp-install, it is /wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
[07:14] <intelikey> !info gnome-nettool
[07:14] <cafuego> babo: Weird. The onl;y time I've ever had that happen was when the DB itself had gotten corrupted.
[07:14] <ubotu> gnome-nettool: (network information tool for GNOME), section gnome, is optional. Version: 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 77 kB, Installed size: 1664 kB
[07:14] <davecb> the problem is when i try to install libxine1 package it says that its getting conflicts with libxine1c2
[07:14] <davecb> now what am i suposed to do :(
[07:14] <theinternet> I can't seem to find sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` with apt-get.
[07:14] <orbin> cafuego: nvm. :)  i really should read man pages more carefully.
[07:14] <intelikey> no problem harisund
[07:14] <derrick__> orbin the driver that comes up is "i810"
[07:14] <baconbacon> derrick__, you can quickly type a name by typing the first few chars then tab
[07:14] <carthik> brent, can you see that page?
[07:14] <derrick__> much like bash - nice
[07:14] <davecb> i was thinking in maybe remove the libxine1c2 package
[07:14] <brent> yes i know and i can only open it using a text editor according to my browser --epiphany or in the case of firefox i get the loop
[07:14] <davecb> :S
[07:15] <carthik> brent, okay, your server doesn't seem to have php installed, or apache doesn't know you have php installed.
[07:15] <orbin> derrick__: well i think the issue is you're probably using the right driver for the car, you're just not getting 3d acceleration.
[07:15] <orbin> derrick__: try searching the forum
[07:15] <Xaero_Vincent> Does EasyUbuntu work on Kubuntu?
[07:15] <davecb> can anyone help me with this one?
[07:15] <derrick__> I have been.
[07:15] <brent> ok dude im looking right at phpmyadmin so how is it not installed then?
[07:15] <carthik> brent, so it is offering the php file for download (much like .zip) instead of serving hte page after parsing it
[07:15] <mmmiiikkkeee> ok i uninstalled the fglrx thing... now what can i do to install the ATI Drivers???
[07:15] <ardchoille> davecb: I have xine working fine and I don't even have a libxine1c2
[07:15] <brent> yes
[07:16] <derrick__> I did try one how-to, but, after finishing it, glxinfo was not recognizing my video driver.
[07:16] <carthik> brent, this is SO confusing.
[07:16] <davecb> ardchoille, i have it but i dont really know why =|
[07:16] <Concretesledge> cafuego,  can i install myy nvidia drivers
[07:16] <orbin> mmmiiikkkeee: read the ati wiki page and search for "seveas"
[07:16] <davecb> and i dont know what i should do
[07:16] <davecb> =|
[07:16] <carthik> brent, for les noise and more help, try #wordpress - tell them I sent you :)
[07:16] <brent> tell me about it! fedora gave me zero problems only on ubuntu has this happened
[07:16] <intelikey> why are there undocumented apps in the defauld install ?
[07:16] <babo> cafeugo: no, I think the database is ok. When I run specific queries the data shows up fine... but something somewhere is caching the general query and not updating the data. PHPMYADMIN used to have a reload database function ... it's not on my hosts version. I wonder if maybe that is the answer ?
[07:16] <brent> ok
[07:16] <brent> ty
[07:16] <Concretesledge> cafuego,  without breaking it.. im on WinXP , -> ubuntu is guest
[07:16] <geniusvicks> !status
[07:16] <intelikey> this is totally non-lsb compliant
[07:17] <_jason> intelikey: which apps?
[07:17] <intelikey> gnome-nettool
[07:17] <sysop__> hello.  i just installed ubuntu 5.1 amd64
[07:17] <sysop__> first time linux user
[07:17] <ardchoille> davecb: if it were me, I'd remove libxine1c2 and then try installing xine-ui
[07:17] <Syirrus> I need some assistance,  every time I try to install a package I get the following error: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xgl_7.0.0-0ubuntu5_i386.deb: trying
[07:17] <Syirrus> to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/Xserver.1x.gz', which is also in package xserver-xorg-core
[07:17] <HedgeMage> ardchoille: may I /msg you?
[07:17] <orbin> derrick__: i've got an ati card so i can't really help you further.  maybe post a forum topic yourself or post on the mailiing list alongisde keeping asking in here
[07:18] <ardchoille> HedgeMage: certainly :)
[07:18] <_jason> intelikey: I think I've found a few gnome- apps without man pages.  I always thought they fell under some large document I didn't know about
[07:18] <davecb> ardchoille,  i found out what it was , libxine1c2 was a package that came with kaffeine media player , i removed it ;) tks
[07:18] <sysop__> i'm trying to follow a guide to make WINE work on my system.  i need the AR command line tool tho..  it says i dont have that
[07:18] <ardchoille> davecb: ah, ok, thanks for telling me that. You're welcome
[07:18] <harisund> carthik: I am guessing you are familiar with Latex. Can you point me to some nice resources on how to use it? I am also interested in knowing what packages do I need to apt-get to get started writing Latex on Ubuntu .. .
[07:19] <intelikey> _jason even if so they should have a symlink point man to that doc
[07:19] <derrick__> orbin: ok, appreciate it.
[07:19] <_jason> intelikey: I agree, if one even exists
[07:19] <intelikey> yes if
[07:19] <dj_> Hello everyone, my first IRC chat using Ubuntu.  is anyone able to explain in simple terms, how to copy cds?
[07:19] <jb1_> harisund: I assume you know abouy Lyx?
[07:19] <harisund> jb_1: Nope .. What is that?
[07:19] <geniusvicks> what are bots in this xchat?
[07:19] <jb1_> harisund: it is a front end for tex/latex
[07:19] <harisund> jb_1: Does that allow some WYSIWYG kind of editing?
[07:20] <jb1_> harisund: yes. try it. you'll like it.
[07:20] <nebajoth> lyx?
[07:20] <Blaxtic> okay, another Alpha question...  if i can't run ubuntu or kubuntu on an alpha, what would yall recomend?  debian?  gentoo? or go with solaris or (gasp) bsd?  some other distro?  I'd like to stay as close to ubuntu (running kde) as possible.
[07:20] <harisund> jb_1: Oh .. so does that automatically install this tetex thing that is talked about?
[07:20] <mabus06> root@nostradamus:~# /usr/sbin/in.talkd -q
[07:20] <mabus06> must be run from inetd.
[07:20] <mabus06> How come I get that error?
[07:20] <sysop__> bots are window's machines
[07:20] <blindx> any clue why a video would not have sound?
[07:20] <sysop__> codecs
[07:20] <_jason> mabus06: run it from inetd? invoke-rc.d talkd, possibly?
[07:21] <ddonky> dj_ - there are several cd burning programs, i think serpentine is the default one for 5.10
[07:21] <intelikey> sysop__ hehhe bot not but
[07:21] <_jason> mabus06: wait no what I said makes no sense, it's time for sleep
[07:21] <mabus06> _jason: talkd is not a command... how do I run it form inetd?
[07:21] <baconbacon> Well if you want to stay close to Ubuntu, Debian
[07:21] <jb1_> harisund: yes, installing lyx will get you all the tetex stuff, too
[07:21] <blindx> sysop__: doesn't VLC use their own codecs for everything?
[07:21] <intelikey> !vlc
[07:21] <ubotu> from memory, vlc is a video/audio player that supports almost everything - See http://www.videolan.org/ for more information (VLC is in the universe repository)
[07:21] <orbin> dj_: i think he wasnts to copy them, not create them
[07:21] <dj_> serpentine won't copy my Cd, it seems to not recognize my cd\
[07:21] <_jason> mabus06: I have an 'inetd' command.  Maybe its man page can help you out.  I never even knew I had it
[07:21] <dj_> yes copy
[07:22] <orbin> ddonky: that was meant for you
[07:22] <sysop__> VLC should work then.  sometimes video's are made poorly tho.  breaks in different players
[07:22] <harisund> jb_1: thanks a ton.. will go and try that out. Maybe somebody can add information about lyx to ubotu, so that it talks about lyx when you type !latex ?
[07:22] <geniusvicks> does anyone know how to user realplayer as a plugin in Mozilla
[07:22] <ddonky> orbin - ok
[07:22] <Blaxtic> baconbacon: but you would recommend some other distro if i'm running an alpha i take it?
[07:22] <arrick> ok guys, i'll be back in a bit
[07:22] <intelikey> ok,  i'm like   went !
[07:22] <blindx> I know this video had sound on windows...
[07:22] <blindx> and now it doesn't :\
[07:22] <sysop__> intelikey hehe i ment bots.  i switched to linux because my machine was an irc bot
[07:22] <Syirrus> Ne1 know why I'm getting this error when installing packages? E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xgl_7.0.0-0ubuntu5_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/Xserver.1x.gz', which is also in package xserver-xorg-core
[07:22] <sysop__> oh u quit
[07:22] <orbin> dj_: serpentine just creates audio cds.  install something like gnomebaker or k3b
[07:22] <jb1_> harisund: good idea.
[07:22] <harisund> jb_1: Right now it just points me towards /msg ubotu latex
[07:22] <ddonky> dj_ - my bad, serpentine doesn't do exact copies of cds, is that what you want to do?
[07:23] <dj_> gnomebaker or K3b ok
[07:23] <harisund> jb_1: I mean, towards latex-project.org ..
[07:23] <sysop__> okay so i've got adobe creative suite for windows
[07:23] <mmmiiikkkeee> what does: Make sure the universe section of the Ubuntu repositories is enabled (See the AddingRepositoriesHowto)... mean???
[07:23] <sysop__> i wanna get wine working, so i can use it
[07:23] <dj_> Exact copies of my dj mixes fax
[07:23] <orbin> geniusvicks: use mozilla-mplayer w/ w32codecs
[07:23] <dj_> fast
[07:23] <sysop__> it means follow directions ;)
[07:23] <jb1_> harisund: there are various Holy Wars on latex vs LyX you can google for.....
[07:24] <sysop__> I need the AR command line tool, but it's not present.  how would i get it?
[07:24] <harisund> mmmiiikkkeee: it means you will have to tell your system to look in a wider range of places. Go to this URL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[07:24] <sysop__> i've used it on linux machiens at work b4
[07:24] <harisund> jb_1: Oh I see.. something like Emacs and Vi I am presuming?
[07:24] <jb1_> harisund: well....nothing is quite like EMACS vs vi :)
[07:24] <harisund> jb_1: lol.. thanks again.. will get back in a while after trying out lyx.
[07:25] <ddonky> sysop_ - sudo apt-get install ar
[07:25] <sysop__> that simple huh?  cool
[07:25] <jb1_> harisund: k. enjoy
[07:25] <sysop__> thnx
[07:25] <sysop__> hmm.  couldn't find package ar
[07:25] <geniusvicks> orbin: how do I do that?
[07:25] <sysop__> i'm behind a router.  i couldn't find the wine packages either.  i had to get em thru firefox
[07:26] <geniusvicks> orbin: from where should I get mozilla-mplayer
[07:26] <sysop__> would that be why i'm not finding these?
[07:26] <orbin> geniusvicks: it's in multiverse
[07:26] <orbin> geniusvicks: and w32codecs can be found on the restrictedformats wiki page
[07:26] <kmag> Is it possible to turn off journaling on ext3 on-the-fly (without unmounting the fs) ?
[07:27] <sysop__> ahhh i hadn't opened multiverse. kthnx
[07:28] <dj_> I am looking at K3b does that work on ubuntu aka Gnome cuz they say here that its KDE geared
[07:28] <nebajoth> you can use any kde app on gnome
[07:28] <nebajoth> it just doesn't look the same as the rest of the UI
[07:28] <nebajoth> and you can even fix that, to some degree
[07:28] <dj_> kool just checking
[07:28] <ddonky> dj_ - yes, it works fine
[07:28] <mabus06> can somebody reccomend a command line chatroom for users logged into the same system?
[07:28] <Concretesledge> cafuego,  without breaking it.. im on WinXP , -> ubuntu is guest
[07:29] <ddonky> sysop_ - i can't find a program called 'Ar' what does it do?
[07:29] <Concretesledge> cafuego,  can i install nvidia display drivers on a WINXP > ubuntu vmware

[07:31] <ddonky> mabus06 - how'd you do that? they came and kicked that guy that posted all that stuff?
[07:31] <ddonky> did you pm one of the ops?
[07:31] <shrewduser> how do i install the linux source trees?
[07:31] <nalioth> ddonky: if you use the !ops trigger, it's just like calling 911 in the US
[07:31] <mabus06> yeah, !ops makes ubotu catch the attention of the ops.. not to be abused
[07:32] <nalioth> ddonky: if you abuse the !ops trigger, you will be banned
[07:32] <nalioth> kkathman: howdy
[07:32] <ddonky> lol, ok. that's cool though, is that only for this channel or is it irc-wide?
[07:32] <eml> hi, anyone wanna help me to get sound with xmms/alsa?
[07:32] <Madpilot> ddonky, it's a thing ubotu knows
[07:32] <Concretesledge>  can i install nvidia display drivers on a WINXP > ubuntu vmware
[07:32] <nalioth> ddonky: wherever you see ubotu
[07:32] <nalioth> ddonky: but the ops are different for different channels
[07:33] <eml> does ubuntu use some crappy sound server by default?
[07:33] <sysop__> afk
[07:33] <dj_> ddonkey, excuse me but I've downloaded several files for a debian packet version of K3d, how should I procede?
[07:34] <_jason> eml: esd is default afaik
[07:34] <eml> _jason, bah..
[07:34] <_jason> eml: system > preferences > multimedia selector
[07:34] <Concretesledge> Can ubuntu decompress .tar files
[07:35] <nalioth> Concretesledge: of course it can
[07:35] <nalioth> ubotu: tell Concretesledge about cli
[07:35] <mabus06> can somebody reccomend a command line chatroom for users logged into the same system?
[07:35] <bimberi> Concretesledge: tar xvf file.tar
[07:35] <Kemotaha> man ubotu know everything huh
[07:35] <eml> _jason, ok I took alsa, but it uses the onboard card, it should use my pci audigy4-card
[07:35] <Concretesledge> !tell concretesledge about cli
[07:35] <cafuego> Kemotaha: nah
[07:35] <cafuego> ubotu: when does the weekend start?
[07:35] <ubotu> I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, cafuego
[07:35] <Kemotaha> haha
[07:36] <nalioth> Concretesledge: he's told you already, check your private messages
[07:36] <Concretesledge> ok.. is it difficult to install video codecs
[07:36] <_jason> Concretesledge: what are you trying to install exactly?
[07:36] <nalioth> ubotu: tell Concretesledge about multimedia
[07:36] <Kemotaha> can anybody tell him what to do?
[07:36] <cafuego> Kemotaha: Yep, he's like a wiki
[07:36] <Concretesledge> hm
[07:36] <Concretesledge> ok
[07:36] <Concretesledge> ty
[07:36] <Kemotaha> ubotu, tell Kemotaha about cli
[07:36] <cafuego> Kemotaha: Well, you need to be registered with nickserv.
[07:37] <Kemotaha> no, it worked
[07:37] <ddonky> dj_ i would install them with either synaptic or apt-get, have you used those two programs before?
[07:37] <cafuego> On the channel yes, not when you use private messages.
[07:37] <eml> _jason, can I just download the latest kernel and use built-in alsa? Cause when I was in gentoo built-in was the only way to get my audigy4 working (since there's no real driver for it yet)
[07:37] <dj_> NOPE ddonkey
[07:38] <Kemotaha> ahh
[07:38] <dj_> I assume those are easy to install
[07:38] <_jason> eml: I suppose you /can/ do that.  But I don't know too much about sound.  I suppose enabling alsa didn't work correctly?
[07:38] <dj_> i'm so fresh on this linux, i spent monthes trying to pick up Debian just by myself. got nowhere
[07:38] <eml> _jason, true, it didnt
[07:38] <ddonky> dj_ they should be installed already, and they are programs that you use to install OTHER programs
[07:38] <_jason> ubotu: tell eml about sound
[07:38] <dj_> cool i'll look now
[07:38] <dj_> '
[07:39] <cafuego> T
[07:39] <_jason> eml: see if that page helps, otherwise try this channel again with specific info and someone smarter than may might help you out
[07:39] <ddonky> dj_ look in your system menu, under 'Administration' and it's called synaptic package manager
[07:39] <eml> _jason, mmk, thanks
[07:40] <dj_> Oh yay, i'm in synaptic
[07:40] <mabus06> can somebody reccomend a command line chatroom for users logged into the same system?
[07:40] <dj_> I will try to install from there, thanks a lot

[07:50] <Yan^> Hello people, can somebody help? i tried to install ubuntu with the Cd there was a prob. I wish to try through the net, but not sure how to do this, can anybody help?
[07:50] <johanbr>  FarFetched21: I don't think there are any debs. Do you really need gcc 4.1 ?
[07:50] <FarFetched21> johanbr: well, as it stands now, I want to compile C code in ubuntu, but I don't seem to have gcc
[07:51] <nalioth> FarFetched21: install build-essential
[07:51] <johanbr> FarFetched21: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" should get you what you want.
[07:51] <brnbock> I have a problem, I have installed a soundblaster audigy se on my system and ubuntu will not recognize it. How do I get the sound to work?
[07:51] <FarFetched21> johanbr I don't have a net connection with ubuntu. that was a problem I couldn't get around, seems that my RealTek 8139 won't work for some reason
[07:52] <FarFetched21> nalioth: does that require a connection to the net?
[07:52] <sysop__> sweet!  it works :)
[07:52] <nalioth> FarFetched21: no, it's on the install cd
[07:52] <ddonky> sysop_ - glad to hear it worked!
[07:53] <syahir> hello
[07:53] <FarFetched21> nalioth: ok thats good. but, is there a version of GCC on the install disk? I am used to gcc and would prefer it...
[07:53] <johanbr> FarFetched21: Realtek 8139 is a common card, that should definitely work. Strange...
[07:53] <syahir> how to send file at desktop to /root folder
[07:53] <nalioth> FarFetched21: yes, gcc is included in the build-essential  package
[07:53] <syahir> anyone knows?
[07:53] <FarFetched21> johanbr: I know. I can't figure it out. I have tried all the stuff in the forums, but to no avail.
[07:53] <mDot> anyone familiar with getting widescreen resolutions working with the nvidia drivers?
[07:53] <nalioth> ubotu: tell syahir about cli
[07:53] <ddonky> dj_ - i'm not sure why synaptic didnt find k3b, are you sure you typed it write? it took me a full year to call the program k3b, and not kb3.
[07:54] <dj_> oh I put K3b
[07:54] <mDot> dang it ddonky, its going to take me forever to get that out of my head
[07:54] <dj_> c3po
[07:54] <dj_> well,
[07:55] <cafuego> FarFetched21: Can you crack the box open and move the card to a different slot?
[07:55] <dj_> i'm using the right name, maybe i'm not using the correct search function, there is a pull down menu
[07:55] <ddonky> mDot - what's that?
[07:55] <mDot> kb3
[07:55] <ddonky> lol
[07:55] <brnbock> Can somebody help me get sound out of my SB Audigy Se ?
[07:55] <syahir> anyone know the command at terminal?i want to send file at desktop to /root folder
[07:55] <FarFetched21> cafuego: its an onboard device :(
[07:55] <dj_> will audigy work on non win machines?
[07:55] <nalioth> syahir: check your private messages, i had ubotu send you the info
[07:56] <ddonky> dj_ i use the search button
[07:56] <nalioth> dj_: of course it will, audigy runs on anything
[07:56] <johanbr> FarFetched21: There are two 8139 drivers, 8139cp and 8139too . Have you tried them both?
[07:56] <ddonky> not the pull-down
[07:56] <syahir> ok,thanks nalioth
[07:56] <dj_> ok, In side the search there is a drop down menu with options, anything I should know?
[07:56] <FarFetched21> johanbr: What do you mean by "tried them both?" they are both present and used by mii, according to dmesg
[07:57] <FarFetched21> johanbr: err, sorry, not dmseg, lsmod
[07:57] <brnbock> yes. I have read posts but nobody can tell me how they did it
[07:57] <ddonky> dj_ no, just serach be name
[07:57] <johanbr> FarFetched21: Maybe that's your problem. Try rmmoding them both and then doing modprobe on one of them. If that does not work, repeat the procedure and modprobe the other one.
[07:59] <dj_> how about the other program that installs programs
[08:00] <ddonky> dj_ it get its info from the same place, we may need to add some repositories to synaptic
[08:00] <dj_> ok
[08:00] <ddonky> dj_ - go to settings, repositories....
[08:00] <dj_> there:
[08:01] <geniusvicks> How do I listen to internet radio in Linux
[08:01] <ddonky> dj_ then click '+ADD' button
[08:02] <ddonky> dj_ make sure the bottom two checkboxes are checked, as well as the others on the top
[08:02] <FarFetched21> nalioth: sorry to be so unknowing, but how do I install build-essential from the install disk?
[08:02] <dj_> next?
[08:03] <CarlFK> u-server LAMP install - is MySql set to bind to just localhost or external interfaces?
[08:03] <nalioth> FarFetched21: put it in the machine, start synaptic package manager and install it with synaptic
[08:03] <ddonky> dj_ - ok, are they checked? multiverse and universe? click 'ok' and 'ok' again
[08:04] <ddonky> dj_then try to search for k3b again
[08:04] <dj_> ok sick
[08:04] <ddonky> :)
[08:04] <sysop__> man all this windows stuff i took for granted.  i'm trying to copy a file from my home directory, into lib32/
[08:04] <FarFetched21> nalioth: thanks, didn't realize it was that easy
[08:05] <sysop__> on the file xplorers it sayz i'm not the owner so i can't
[08:05] <Madpilot> sysop__, what're you trying to install?
[08:05] <dj_> FOUND IT :) YESS
[08:05] <sysop__> wine on an amd 64 install
[08:05] <ddonky> :)
[08:05] <dj_> but now what?
[08:05] <Madpilot> sysop__, does that work at all?
[08:05] <ddonky> dj_ check mark it, and 'apply' button
[08:05] <sysop__> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=97026  that guide says it does
[08:05] <dj_> ok

[08:06] <ddonky> dj_np
[08:06] <sysop__> which is why i'm trying to copy files inot the lib32 folder
[08:06] <Madpilot> sysop__, easiest way to move stuff into root-owned territory is w/ "sudo cp /thing-to-copy /place/to/copy/to" in terminal
[08:06] <sysop__> cool :D  what is sudo anyways?
[08:07] <dj_> You just taught me how to install anything didn't you?
[08:08] <ddonky> dl_ - lol, everything in that list, like, 13,000 programs or something like that
[08:08] <nalioth> ubotu: tell sysop__ about cli
[08:08] <nebajoth> he sure did
[08:08] <nebajoth> thank the man
[08:08] <nebajoth> paypal him $5 for a beer
[08:08] <Gareth> dj_, you now of course owe your life to him
[08:08] <Gareth> not joking
[08:08] <ddonky> lol
[08:08] <nebajoth> and your firstborn
[08:08] <Gareth> yeah, that too
[08:08] <dj_> I'm cutting off my ear for air mail now

[08:09] <nebajoth> sweet move
[08:09] <weedar> Can anyone reccommend a program to record sound that definetly WORKS with a usb microphone?
[08:09] <ddonky> dj_ - you dont live in amsterdam do you?
[08:10] <sysop__> eh?
[08:10] <sysop__> cli?
[08:10] <johanbr> weedar: gnome-sound-recorder, maybe.
[08:10] <dj_> no but I went there 2 times, just to the red light district on 2 12hr layovers
[08:10] <nebajoth> send the sweet, sweet pot!
[08:10] <varsendagger> what do i need to install to get cd's to play with xmms?
[08:10] <nebajoth> weeeeedddd
[08:10] <dj_> I'm buying records from the netherlands a lot though.  DJ Trance
[08:10] <ddonky> dj_ - lol, nevermind then. ;)
[08:10] <nebajoth> DJ Trance?  That's a particularly unimaginative name.
[08:10] <dj_> I met Sander Van Dorn here in San Francisco

[08:11] <dj_> he's cool if you know who he is
[08:11] <brnbock> How can I get my soundblaster audigy se to work?
[08:11] <arrick> hey orbin you here?
[08:11] <nebajoth> he'd have to be, to be successful with a vanilla name like that
[08:11] <nebajoth> no offense to vanilla
[08:11] <nebajoth> I like vanilla
[08:11] <nebajoth> its my favourite flavour, practically
[08:11] <nebajoth> :|
[08:11] <Madpilot> !+enter
[08:11] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[08:11] <nalioth> nebajoth: you should go to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:11] <arrick> why can I see files using sudo, but I cannot see them with my username?
[08:12] <nebajoth> actually, I'll just stop talking
[08:12] <nalioth> arrick: because they don't belong to you
[08:12] <nebajoth> didn't mean to get sidetracked
[08:12] <varsendagger> anyone?     what do i need to install to get cd's to play with xmms?
[08:12] <arrick> I put them there, how do I set it so I can see them?
[08:12] <ddonky> dj_ never heard of either of them, and I like trance music, i usually more goa/psy
[08:12] <eli> does anyone know how to uninstall an upgraded package through apt-get?
[08:12] <nalioth> ubotu: tell varsendagger about anyone
[08:12] <Madpilot> ddonky & dj_ - #ubuntu-offtopic for music such, please
[08:12] <eli> and go back to a lower version of the package?
[08:13] <ddonky> np
[08:13] <acidspoon> hi
[08:13] <jeeaar> does vlc come with ubuntu?
[08:13] <acidspoon> how can i config swat under ubuntu?
[08:13] <ChairmanKaga> i dont believe so jeeaar
[08:13] <arrick> nalioth, hwo do i change it so I can see my files?
[08:13] <nalioth> jeeaar: it is available, but does not ship with it
[08:13] <varsendagger> ubotu: tell nalioth about answering my question if they know it
[08:13] <jeeaar> ok, would plf have vlc in their repos?
[08:13] <eli> hello everyone, is there a way to uninstall an upgrade through apt-get?
[08:13] <nalioth> arrick: any files you can't see as your regular user are system files and don't need to be messed with
[08:13] <ChairmanKaga> jeeaar 'sudo apt-get install vlc'
[08:13] <Gareth> jeeaar, it is available through the standard repositories that come with ubuntu
[08:14] <Gareth> or what chair said
[08:14] <nalioth> varsendagger: ubotu DID answer your question
[08:14] <nalioth> varsendagger: check your private messages
[08:14] <ChairmanKaga> its in the standard repos
[08:14] <arrick> nalioth, its an extra storage drive, and I can see all the files I loaded with sudo, just not with my user
[08:14] <varsendagger> ubotu:   tell nalioth that i am sorry
[08:14] <jeeaar> hmm, couldnt find the package
[08:14] <nalioth> arrick: is it a drive you added after you installed ubuntu?
[08:14] <arrick> varsendagger, ubotu is a bot
[08:14] <varsendagger> ubotu No, varsendagger, I won't. (target invalid?)
[08:14] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, varsendagger
[08:14] <arrick> yes
[08:14] <arrick> and it is ounted
[08:15] <arrick> mounted
[08:15] <nebajoth> I'd like to second eli's question
[08:15] <nebajoth> how do you downgrade a package?
[08:15] <nalioth> arrick: use a pastebin and paste your /etc/fstab please
[08:16] <Motivez> Should the installer for dapper be trying to install some braille device if I don't have anything like that?
[08:17] <arrick> nalioth, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12146 its the /etc1 mountpoint
[08:18] <acidspoon> i need help :-(
[08:18] <arrick> !justask
[08:18] <ubotu> Ask your question and we'll try to answer it.
[08:18] <acidspoon> i want to install swat on ubuntu
[08:18] <jeeaar> chairmankaga: im reveiving e:couldnt find package
[08:18] <jeeaar> recieving*
[08:19] <arrick> sudo aptitude install swat
[08:19] <acidspoon> and it works with http://localhost:901
[08:19] <arrick> install it then configure it
[08:19] <acidspoon> but i have no config buttons in the programm
[08:19] <acidspoon> i've already installed it
[08:19] <arrick> you have to config with files, normally /etc/swat.conf
[08:20] <ChairmanKaga> ^ that's it
[08:20] <ChairmanKaga> beaten
[08:20] <initard> debootstrap rocks, I have two partitions accessing the internet thru chroot at the same time.  only in linux, only in linux lmao
[08:20] <acidspoon> no, i mean the www configuration
[08:20] <ddonky> varsendagger - why xmms? there are better cd players
[08:20] <arrick> you still have to config with the files
[08:20] <arrick> hang on
[08:20] <nalioth> arrick: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12147
[08:21] <arrick> thanks nalioth
[08:22] <[Alex_G] > hey
[08:22] <[Alex_G] > I have a problem :(
[08:23] <ChairmanKaga> what is it?
[08:23] <[Alex_G] > I put the Live CD in and restarted my mac (G4) and nothing about ubuntu came up
[08:23] <[Alex_G] > it ran OS X as normal
[08:23] <Concretesledge> is it the mac version
[08:23] <[Alex_G] > yeh
[08:23] <celerex> and does mac have 'boot from cd' turned on?
[08:23] <ChairmanKaga> are you holding the keys for cd boot
[08:23] <Concretesledge> do youhave boot to cd as first option in BIOS
[08:23] <[Alex_G] > "version 5.10 for your mac"
[08:23] <[Alex_G] > ah yes
[08:23] <[Alex_G] > that would be what it is
[08:23] <Motivez> Anyone update tonight with this new braille stuff in the daily build? I can't get X to start
[08:24] <celerex> Concretesledge: macs don't have a bios they can control :)
[08:24] <arrick> hey acidspoon is that all there is to the name?
[08:24] <Motivez> blank screen, nothing happens :/
[08:24] <Concretesledge> oh really
[08:24] <[Alex_G] > celerex, whats the keys?
[08:24] <ChairmanKaga> alex, i believe you have to hold "c" while booting to boot from cd
[08:24] <Concretesledge> hm
[08:24] <nalioth> alex__: you have to hold the "C" key when the chime sounds
[08:24] <ChairmanKaga> confirm/deny?
[08:24] <[Alex_G] > k
[08:24] <[Alex_G] > thx
[08:24] <Double_D> anyone: when i open mplayer, i get an error message about subfont.ttf not being found.  where can find this?
[08:24] <acidspoon> arrick: sorry, i don't know what you want me to say
[08:25] <arrick> hey acidspoon check in the /etc/swat folder for /conf files
[08:25] <arrick> .conf
[08:25] <Double_D> !subfont.ttf
[08:25] <ubotu> Double_D: I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[08:25] <arrick> acidspoon, are you talking about the game?
[08:25] <initard> Is there a good wireless config package for console?
[08:25] <acidspoon> arrick: no, i'm talking about the samba configuration tool ;-)
[08:25] <nalioth> Double_D: if you search in synaptic for 'mplayer' you'll find a font package to install
[08:26] <arrick> oh ok
[08:26] <arrick> hang on
[08:26] <Motivez> Went into rescue mode and there's a bunch of stuff about /dev/wacom.. etc.., errors in Xorg.0.log :/
[08:26] <Motivez> Any ideas?
[08:26] <jeeaar> which file contains the links to all of my repos'?
[08:26] <bliss1_> hi
[08:26] <Madpilot> jeeaar, sources.list in /etc/apt/
[08:26] <ddonky> hay
[08:26] <jeeaar> ty
[08:26] <ChairmanKaga> hey motivez, do you have a wacom tablet?
[08:26] <Motivez> No
[08:26] <Motivez> he
[08:26] <Motivez> heh*
[08:27] <bliss1_> Madpilot: ned help with route question
[08:27] <Motivez> I tried commenting the stuff out of xorg.conf and it still wouldn't load
[08:27] <ChairmanKaga> wierd, why is it loading the device then?
[08:27] <Double_D> nalioth: alright, sweet.  thanks!
[08:27] <ChairmanKaga> that's strange
[08:27] <Motivez> Chair, I don't know
[08:27] <arrick> hey acidspoon can you join #arrick?
[08:27] <Madpilot> bliss1_, best to just ask it, someone will answer if they know
[08:27] <Motivez> Do I need to do anything special with dapper to have it work properly with an ati card? (9700 pro)?
[08:27] <bliss1_> Mudpilot: ok
[08:28] <Madpilot> Motivez, you'll need ATI's drivers for 3d, but for 2d it should work OOTB
[08:28] <celerex> Motivez: no different then any other distrobutions
[08:28] <jeeaar> when it says uncomment, it refers to removing the "#", correct?
[08:28] <celerex> if you're referring to XGL.. that's a bit different
[08:28] <ChairmanKaga> you should be able to follow the breezy sticky for install drivers
[08:28] <celerex> jeeaar: yeah
[08:28] <Motivez> Well it should load X initially then, I'm just talking about plain X
[08:28] <Motivez> Would it be better to install breezy first and then update to Dapper?
[08:29] <ChairmanKaga> either way is the means to the same end
[08:29] <ChairmanKaga> i would just install dapper
[08:29] <Madpilot> Motivez, if you've already got the Dapper install ISO, just use that
[08:29] <celerex> if X doesn't start then check your logs
[08:29] <ChairmanKaga> his logs seem fucked
[08:29] <Motivez> I have it installed, but it's not loading X is what I'm saying
[08:29] <Motivez> I have no idea why the installer is prompting me for this braille stuff
[08:29] <celerex> check /var/log/XFree86.0.log i think
[08:30] <Motivez> Only thing that's connected to my machine besides my monitor/keyboard/mouse/router is a printer
[08:30] <Motivez> and it detects that fine
[08:30] <celerex> ...
[08:30] <celerex> just say no to braile if you're not blind
[08:30] <Motivez> There's no "no" option
[08:30] <Motivez> It asks me where it's installed
[08:30] <Motivez> I hit 'go back' and it installs it to default location
[08:31] <kleedrac> I just dist-upgraded from breezy to dapper and now it hard-locks at a screen saying X is broken :P ... any advice?
[08:31] <celerex> what's the error?
[08:31] <celerex> nopaste?
[08:31] <Motivez> heh, well maybe it's something with this daily build then if someone else is having the asme issue with X
[08:31] <celerex> haha, you're using the daily build?
[08:32] <kleedrac> Any workaround?  I'm booted from a Breezy live CD
[08:32] <celerex> well kleed, need to know the error to give you a work around
[08:32] <Motivez> celerex, you have a different link for a dapper ISO I can download?
[08:32] <Motivez> I don't mind reinstalling
[08:32] <Zigen> anyone having a problem with the framebuffer when trying to instal dapper flight 6?
[08:32] <ddonky> dj_ you got a webpage or mixes available on the 'net?
[08:32] <kleedrac> No real error to report ... the normal "Your X has failed click "yes" to see why" screen in ncurses but an overlay of a dapper CLI login and my mouse/keyboard don't respond
[08:32] <sysop__> hehe thnx for the help earlier, but that method didn't extract all the files i needed in the .deb file
[08:33] <sysop__> binutils is what i needed to get for the AR command
[08:33] <ddonky> opps that was offtopic
[08:33] <dj_> Um not yet, I have a url you may want to check now and again, www.anomalydjservice.com
[08:33] <dj_> Look for something like DJ MIXES
[08:34] <Madpilot> Motivez, if you're trying the daily builds of Dapper, expect oddness. also, try #ubuntu+1 for Dapper questions
[08:34] <Motivez> Yeah, I have, it's not very active there =p
[08:34] <Motivez> I dont mind oddness, do you have a link for flight6 or whatever?
[08:34] <MistaED> i had a problem with dapper flight 6 today, whatever i passed onto it (nodma, acpi=off, etc.) the kernel would not read the disc at all (DSO timeout? buffer I/O error /dev/hdc), has anyone had this problem before? the cdrom works fine in windows 98
[08:34] <MistaED> and i've check the disc with MD5, it's fine
[08:34] <MistaED> *checked
[08:35] <Double_D> !X
[08:35] <ubotu> methinks x is a portable, network-transparent window system.
[08:35] <bliss1_> when i type apt-get update will not resolve see http://pastebin.ca/49243 for settings
[08:35] <Double_D> anyone know how i might install a more lightweight X (more lightweight than gnome)?
[08:35] <kkathman> then updates come each day
[08:35] <MistaED> all the info i could get from the machine was that it was a via-based motherboard with a pentium 3 cpu
[08:36] <kleedrac> Double_D: Try XFCE
[08:36] <Double_D> kleedrac: thanks.
[08:36] <MistaED> does anyone have more cheat codes for the live cd boot?
[08:36] <ChairmanKaga> openbox or fluxbox is nice double_d
[08:36] <MistaED> like one for via-based IDE controllers?
[08:36] <Double_D> ChairmanKaga: okay, i'll check them out.  thanks.
[08:37] <theBishop> i'm trying to get NetManager working
[08:37] <theBishop> the nm-applet is running, but its not appearing in the tray
[08:37] <jeeaar> will vlc play mp3 without any extra codecs?
[08:37] <theBishop> jeeaar no
[08:37] <MistaED> double_d: if you find them too primitive, there are ways to speed up gnome like using a lighter theme/engine, disabling some gnome service programs, etc.
[08:37] <jeeaar> where can i get the codecs?
[08:37] <theBishop> get the gstreamer ugly package
[08:37] <theBishop> enable the Multiverse in Synaptic
[08:38] <ChairmanKaga> Double: I personally use gnome with openbox as my WM
[08:38] <Double_D> MistaED: that sounds promising, what are some service programs I could disable?
[08:38] <ChairmanKaga> its pretty nice
[08:38] <gummy> why doesn't ubuntu show the wireless networks available?
[08:38] <jeeaar> then can i just sudo apt-get install gstreamer?
[08:39] <Double_D> ChairmanKaga: okay, i'll pay some special attention to it.  taking a look at fluxbox atm...
[08:39] <MistaED> double_d: not too sure myself actually
[08:39] <bliss1_> DBO: ping are you ok man
[08:39] <Double_D> MIstaED: okay, thanks, though.
[08:40] <MistaED> double_d: using openbox for your wm and using a lighter gtk theme (there are some in the repos, just search for gtk2-engines) that will give a nice speed-up
[08:41] <ChairmanKaga> 'sudo apt-get openbox obconf
[08:41] <MistaED> a gtk2 theme with no pixmaps, so like a squarish-3d one should do the trick, there are nice and light looking ones though
[08:41] <gummy> why doesn't ubuntu show the wireless networks available?
[08:41] <ChairmanKaga> words to live by
[08:41] <ChairmanKaga> gummy: because it isn't windows
[08:43] <gummy> ChairmanKaga: that may be, but its a very good feature
[08:43] <ChairmanKaga> Good point gummy, but unfortunately i don't know of any program that gives you that functionality
[08:43] <Rhine> Does Ubuntu use generic sound drivers or is it possible to install one that provides better performance?
[08:43] <gummy> isnt' there a way to have ubuntu display the available networks so I can just pick the one i want?
[08:43] <Double_D> MIstaED: nice, a high performance theme already speeded things up quite a bit!
[08:43] <ChairmanKaga> rhine, what kind of sound card do you have?
[08:43] <Rhine> Avance '97
[08:44] <Znort> G'morning people. Yesterday I started up my system, and when I logged it it said the X session was ended within 10 seconds. So I try again, and again it sais it was ened. I could only click "ok", after which I returned to the gdm login screen. The only way I can get some functionality is logging in thru an Xterm safe mode and then starting KDE (which keeps whining about the "dcopserver")
[08:44] <ChairmanKaga> well, you can use ESD if you are lucky
[08:44] <Rhine> Let me check the correct name
[08:44] <ChairmanKaga> rhine: probably AC'97
[08:44] <Rhine> Yep thats the right one
[08:45] <Concretesledge> how do i copy a file in root
[08:45] <Concretesledge> prompt
[08:46] <[Alex_G] > hery
[08:46] <Madpilot> Znort, did you get some error msg about "Xauthority" or something similar?
[08:46] <[Alex_G] > hey
[08:46] <ChairmanKaga> rhine, read this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=101125
[08:46] <[Alex_G] > I'm not sure what was going on
[08:46] <Znort> Yes, I did. Something about _ICE
[08:46] <ChairmanKaga> really good faq on configuring sound
[08:46] <imbrandon> Concretesledge: cp filename /path/to/go
[08:46] <Corin^> Anyone here have an Atheros AR5212 Wireless NIC (mine's in a Toshiba Satellite A75)...I've read that it works with Ubuntu, and have had partial success, but am still having some issues. Please PM if familiar with it. :)
[08:46] <Madpilot> Znort, ".ICEauthority"?
[08:46] <Rhine> Thank you ChairmanKaga
[08:46] <Znort> Indeed
[08:47] <[Alex_G] > I held down C, and the setup came up and all, and the ubuntu logo came up (in odd colours) and then the screen went blank for about 10 minutes and nothing happened
[08:47] <Madpilot> Znort, in the safe mode prompt, just delete that file, then type "shutdown -r now" to reboot
[08:47] <Znort> And where is it located? In /etc/X11 I guess?
[08:47] <[Alex_G] > is that normal?
[08:47] <ChairmanKaga> alex, did you try just hitting 'enter'?
[08:47] <[Alex_G] > ChairmanKaga, yep
[08:47] <Rhine> Is thier a torrent client that will allow me to download certain files?
[08:48] <[Alex_G] > I tried enter, space and escape and moving the mouse around
[08:48] <Madpilot> Znort, no, it's in your own user directory
[08:48] <Znort> ok
[08:48] <Corin^> certain files out of the torrent Rhine?
[08:48] <ChairmanKaga> wierd, try redownloading the .iso and md5 checking it
[08:48] <imbrandon> Rhine: Azureus
[08:48] <Znort> Any idea what may have caused this so I can prevent this in the future?
[08:48] <Rhine> Ok thank you :0
[08:48] <Corin^> BitComet will, if that's what you're looking for
[08:48] <ChairmanKaga> just to make sure that it isn't a bad burn
[08:48] <ChairmanKaga> uTorrent is nice as well
[08:48] <Rhine> Can I install through Azureus?
[08:48] <ChairmanKaga> nada
[08:48] <Rhine> I mean Synaptic
[08:48] <ChairmanKaga> yes
[08:48] <Madpilot> Znort, "rm ~/.ICEauthority" - and I can't remember what causes it, something to do with sudo/root errors
[08:48] <ChairmanKaga> 'sudo apt-get install azureus'
[08:49] <ChairmanKaga> make sure you have the java runtime installed as well
[08:49] <Znort> Madpilot, thanks a bunch =)
[08:49] <[Alex_G] > ChairmanKaga, it was using the live CD
[08:49] <ChairmanKaga> alex, same idea
[08:49] <ChairmanKaga> could be a bad burn
[08:49] <imbrandon> Rhine:  not sure, i think you have to get the .deb from the azureus site and install it through dpkg -i
[08:49] <ChairmanKaga> what program are you burning it with
[08:49] <blindx> any good web-cam programs?
[08:49] <[Alex_G] > ugh....
[08:49] <imbrandon> Rhine:  then synaptic can manage it
[08:49] <[Alex_G] > Chairman: I got the free CD
[08:49] <Madpilot> !+azureus
[08:49] <ubotu> I guess azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AzureusHowTo
[08:50] <imbrandon> hehe nice
[08:50] <ChairmanKaga> oh god, those free cd's are always coastered for me
[08:50] <blindx> resource hog :P
[08:50] <Rhine> One last question when I installed some video drivers and it required me to update now i have to cases of ubuntu in grub is there a way to get rid of the old one or does it have to stay there
[08:50] <ChairmanKaga> alex, just download the livecd from the site and md5 check it, then burn it with verification on
[08:50] <ChairmanKaga> rhine, hit 'e' at grub to edit the grub conf
[08:50] <[Alex_G] > the whole reason I got the CD, I didn't want to download a 600mb file
[08:50] <ChairmanKaga> you can take out the extra menu options there
[08:51] <Rhine> Ok thank you
[08:51] <imbrandon> Rhine: edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file but just do it with care
[08:51] <Madpilot> [Alex_G] , did you just get one CD, or a bunch?
[08:51] <Yokalosh> are there any advantages/disadvantages of using gstreamer0.10 plugins rather than the gstreamer0.8 ones that are in the repos?
[08:51] <patrick52222> how do i get nero linux
[08:51] <Rhine> is the "e" at start up easier?
[08:51] <blindx> Any good webcam programs?
[08:51] <ChairmanKaga> patrick, just use gnomebaker or k3b
[08:51] <[Alex_G] > Madpilot: 2 cds, an install CD and a live CD
[08:51] <imbrandon> Rhine: edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file but just do it with care ( 'e' at startup is just a temp solution )
[08:51] <Madpilot> [Alex_G] , just the one set, though?
[08:51] <patrick52222> ok, how do i get gnomebaker
[08:51] <ChairmanKaga> thanks imbrandon, i didn't know the e was temp
[08:52] <ChairmanKaga> the more you know :)
[08:52] <Yokalosh> patrick52222: graveman is also cool
[08:52] <imbrandon> hehe
[08:52] <[Alex_G] > Madpilot: yep, I got it from a friend who has a shitload or something
[08:52] <ChairmanKaga> patrick it is in synaptic
[08:52] <imbrandon> ChairmanKaga: yes the 'e' at startup edit will reset the next boot
[08:53] <patrick52222> ok will give it ago
[08:53] <Rhine> If im editing Menu.lst do i just remove the lines with the old version?
[08:53] <Madpilot> [Alex_G] , get another if you can, bad CDs do happen
[08:53] <imbrandon> Rhine: the better solution would be to edit the line .... hold on let me look
[08:53] <Concretesledge> error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[08:53] <[Alex_G] > *sigh*
[08:53] <gummy> how do i find out the file system type of a partition?
[08:54] <Rhine> !tell imbrandon
[08:54] <Concretesledge> ? where should that file go
[08:54] <TheInternet> Okay, I succesfully installed my nvidia card using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074&highlight=nvidia but then for some reason my Atheros Wifi card would no longer show up in network devices and would no longer work.
[08:54] <imbrandon> Rhine: look for the line "# howmany=all" and change it to "# howmany=1" without quotes
[08:55] <imbrandon> Rhine:  then once the files is saved run "sudo update-grub"
[08:55] <imbrandon> leave the line commented out theough thaqts how the menu.lst works
[08:55] <Rhine> would this keep the windows HD safe?
[08:55] <imbrandon> Rhine: yes it will
[08:55] <imbrandon> that only affexts the number of kernel it shows
[08:56] <Rhine> sudo update-grub
[08:56] <imbrandon> not the windows entries
[08:56] <Rhine> woops
[08:56] <Corin^> TheInternet: At least you got your Atheros to work once...I'm still fighting with mine.
[08:56] <imbrandon> lol
[08:56] <Rhine> Ok Im sure it worked thank you
[08:56] <ChairmanKaga> i've got a nice generic broadcom chip, works under ndiswrapper like a charm
[08:56] <patrick52222> is there any iso extractors like isobuster around
[08:56] <imbrandon> you can check bu editring the file again, it should have the changes present now
[08:57] <TheInternet> Well, I used it under ndiswrapper, and then after installing the nvidia card, it disappeared.
[08:57] <blindx> if the easycam2 package doesn't recognize my cam, am i sol?
[08:57] <patrick52222> is there any iso extractors like isobuster around for linux
[08:58] <imbrandon> patrick52222: not sure about extractors but you can readup on mounting the iso in loopback mode and copy the files out
[08:58] <patrick52222> ok
[08:58] <imbrandon> patrick52222: google iso loopback mount linux
[08:58] <ChairmanKaga> later guys, time to hit the sack
[08:59] <imbrandon> gnight ChairmanKaga
[08:59] <ChairmanKaga> night
[08:59] <yipe> okay, that's enough playin in ubuntu land for tonight
[08:59] <Rhine> What depository is Azureus in?
[08:59] <yipe> goodnight everybody
[08:59] <yipe> oyasumi nasia
[08:59] <ChairmanKaga> rhine, i made a mistake
[08:59] <yipe> nasai*
[08:59] <ChairmanKaga> its not in a repo
[08:59] <imbrandon> !+Azureus
[08:59] <ubotu> methinks azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AzureusHowTo
[08:59] <ChairmanKaga> you have to get a package for it
[08:59] <Rhine> Meh ok thanks
[09:00] <arrick> ok night all
[09:00] <imbrandon> night
[09:00] <arrick> have a blessed night
[09:00] <blindx> if the easycam2 package doesn't recognize my cam, am i SOL?
[09:00] <wd> help with shadow image for gdesklet, installed sensor isn't being recognized.
[09:01] <imbrandon> blindx: no idea wouldent think so though
[09:01] <imbrandon> i dunno much about webcams in linux
[09:01] <Concretesledge> how to set up the latest sources for apt-get
[09:02] <imbrandon> Concretesledge: whats distro , breezy or dapper?
[09:02] <apokryphos> Concretesledge: /msg ubotu repositories
[09:02] <Concretesledge> uhm
[09:02] <Concretesledge> Ubuntu
[09:02] <Concretesledge> im not sure
[09:02] <apokryphos> Concretesledge: cat /etc/issue ....gives?
[09:02] <imbrandon> heh ok message the bot it will let you know
[09:03] <Concretesledge> no such file
[09:03] <Madpilot> the bot is the smartest thing on this channel, bar none :P
[09:03] <Concretesledge>  apokryphos  no such file
[09:03] <apokryphos> erm
[09:03] <imbrandon> root@mom:~# cat /etc/issue
[09:03] <imbrandon> Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper Drake" Development Branch \n \l
[09:03] <imbrandon> like that
[09:03] <TheInternet> *sigh* stupid how-to on nvidia installation
[09:03] <Rhine> Where should i download the azureus.deb to?
[09:04] <apokryphos> Rhine: anywhere, it doesn't matter.
[09:04] <Concretesledge> breezy badger
[09:04] <Rhine> The Bot is the coolest person ever he listens to conversations :)
[09:04] <Concretesledge> Forgot the E
[09:04] <Rhine> !belly
[09:04] <ubotu> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Rhine
[09:04] <comrade> I installed fluxbox via synaptic, but it won't execute my startup file to load xscreensaver and such when I select fluxbox through gdm, anyone have any ideas?
[09:04] <apokryphos> Concretesledge: yes, type /msg ubotu repositories
[09:04] <imbrandon> TheInternet: thats easy one step for my nvidia cards lol "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx"
[09:04] <Rhine> Whats the command to rub the bots belly?
[09:04] <apokryphos> !botsnack
[09:04] <Madpilot> !good bot
[09:04] <ubotu> thanks apokryphos :)
[09:04] <ubotu> :)
[09:05] <apokryphos> imbrandon: well, and altering your xorg.conf
[09:05] <Rhine> Crap um the azureus.deb isnt on the server anymore?
[09:05] <Corin^> The phrase "No DHCPOFFERS received." is starting to send me into mini-berserker rages... /sigh
[09:05] <apokryphos> Rhine: /msg ubotu azureus
[09:05] <Double_D> MistaED: openbox seems to definitely speed things up.
[09:05] <imbrandon> apokryphos: heheh yea "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:05] <imbrandon> does the trick
[09:06] <apokryphos> imbrandon: nah, no need to do the full X reconfigure. You can just sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[09:06] <imbrandon> ahhh nice
[09:06] <imbrandon> dident know ;)
[09:06] <Rhine> The Bot gives me alink for a version of azureus which is not in the directory anymore
[09:06] <apokryphos> handy config nvidia tools like that :)
[09:06] <apokryphos> Rhine: get it directly from their site
[09:07] <Concretesledge> that really didnt tell me anything....
[09:07] <imbrandon> azureus.com
[09:07] <imbrandon> grab the deb
[09:07] <Yokalosh> Rhine: I wish we could use bitcomet in ubuntu :(
[09:07] <Rhine> Is the page a wiki so i can put in the right one?
[09:07] <apokryphos> Concretesledge: what didn't?
[09:07] <apokryphos> Rhine: sure
[09:07] <Concretesledge> apokryphos, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666
[09:07] <imbrandon> Rhine: follow the wikki just grab the deb from azureus.com
[09:07] <wd> shadow image in gdesklet won't recognize sensor
[09:07] <Madpilot> Rhine, if it's a wiki.ubuntu.com URL, then yes, it's a wiki :P
[09:08] <Rhine> yeah im gonna edit the page so people dont have to :P
[09:08] <apokryphos> Concretesledge: no, check the wiki link that ubotu gives you. Follow that.
[09:08] <Concretesledge> i did the wrong one
[09:08] <wd> Madpilot, hey thanks for the help in the pass
[09:08] <imbrandon> Rhine: mighty nice of you ;)
[09:08] <jeff2> "ndiswrapper -l" says "netbc564 - driver installed, hardware present" but ifconfig -a doesn't list a wlan0 (iwconfig neither). any idea what I could do to make my wireless interface be recognized?
[09:08] <Yokalosh> imbrandon: there is no deb, just a tar.bz2#
[09:09] <Yokalosh> *-#
[09:09] <Rhine> and firefox crashes on me >.<
[09:09] <imbrandon> jeff2: try wlanconfig or something similar forgot the exact command
[09:09] <wd> gdesklet won't recognize sensor i installed for shadow image help.
[09:09] <Corin^> Atheros wireless NIC seems to work just fine with no special tweaking, except for the fact that it won't get a DHCP IP addy. Using Madwifi drivers. Anybody have a clue? :(
[09:09] <imbrandon> hold on Rhine lemme look something up
[09:10] <richard> i was wondering how to set the background for fluxbox
[09:10] <richard> i am using a style and a background and everytime it loads the styles background
[09:10] <jeff2> imbrandon, do you mean iwconfig? it shows nothing
[09:10] <Rhine> If i edit it should include the AMD64 version and PPC?
[09:10] <imbrandon> richard: look in your .fluxbox dir for a config file that will set the bg for you
[09:10] <richard> i mean
[09:10] <Concretesledge> UHM
[09:10] <Madpilot> Rhine, if you can, that'd be cool
[09:11] <Concretesledge> it says aptitude is already isntalled
[09:11] <richard> it loads thebackground at start but then it goes back to the styles background
[09:11] <Concretesledge> what do i have to install
[09:11] <imbrandon> richard: yes thats what i ment hmmm sorry man thats my olny option i know of
[09:11] <CuriousCat> hi! Would anyone here know how ubuntu performs on an Intel Core Duo?
[09:11] <CuriousCat> Specifically on Centrino Duo
[09:11] <igcek> mega ;)
[09:11] <imbrandon> richard: looks like you might have to edit the style you want to use config and comment out the background its trying to set
[09:12] <richard> imbrandon: are you using fluxbox?
[09:12] <imbrandon> richard: not at this computer but i have two computers in the house that do
[09:12] <richard> hmm
[09:12] <richard> where did you add the line to set your background at?
[09:13] <imbrandon> richard: i set it with my styles config, i use a custom style
[09:13] <TheInternet> Is there anyway I can reinstall linux-restricted-modules from a cd?
[09:13] <richard> how can i go about editing a style or one of the default styles?
[09:13] <imbrandon> richard: one sec i'll look up the directory
[09:13] <richard> ok
[09:14] <Concretesledge> ALl im tryin to do is install autozen
[09:15] <jeff2> what would cause "ndiswrapper -l" to list my nic as "driver installed, hardware present" but iwconfig and ifconfig don't show wlan0? what am I missing?
[09:15] <TheInternet> That's happening to me too, damn it. It's frustrating. >.<
[09:16] <Double_D> anyone: alot of the openbox screenshots i see have a box on the left side of the screen that displays CPU usage and other handy stuff.  is this an application that i can install or perhaps already have?
[09:16] <jeff2> TheInternet, are you talking to me?
[09:16] <TheInternet> Yes.
[09:16] <imbrandon> richard: edit the theme.cfg file for the style your using E.G. /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/BlueFlux/theme.cfg
[09:17] <Concretesledge>  how to set apt-get up to get stuff from a web server
[09:17] <imbrandon> sorry had to ssh into my other box lol
[09:17] <imbrandon> Concretesledge: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:17] <harisund> I really need some help here.. By mistake I right clicked on the Gaim system tray icon and said Remove from panel. How do I get the Gaim panel icon restored ? (the small icon next to volume control and network manager and date on the top right of the screen? ???)
[09:18] <Concretesledge> You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
[09:18] <Double_D> per question above: i.e. like the bar on the left seen here:  http://offload1.icculus.org/openbox/2/shots/full/mwil-sshot.png
[09:18] <imbrandon> Concretesledge: yes like "deb http://blahblah.com/ubuntu breezy universe" etc etc   the bot will tell you about respitorys
[09:19] <VoX> can someone look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12149 and tell me wtf is going on with my nvidia drivers?
[09:19] <jeff2> TheInternet, have you loaded the kernel module?
[09:20] <apokryphos> VoX: dapper?
[09:20] <TheInternet> Well, it turns out that since I installed my Nvidia drivers and replace the linux-restricted-module, it kicked it out. Seems to me that the step calling for you to reinstall that isn't a good idea.
[09:20] <VoX> apokryphos: yeah
[09:20] <apokryphos> VoX: then don't ask in here :)
[09:20] <patrick52222> is there an ipconf in ubuntu
[09:20] <initard> Is there a way to copy my wireless card drivers from one ubuntu to another ubuntu partition?
[09:20] <imbrandon> VoX: looks like you need to do a "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" becouse it cant find a suitable resalution to use
[09:20] <Double_D> patrick52222: ifconfig in terminal.
[09:20] <Concretesledge> ./libgtk-1.2.so.0: Permission denied
[09:21] <Double_D> patrick52222: also, system > administration > networking
[09:21] <ben32167> i use a amd athlon xp is this 386 or 686?
[09:21] <imbrandon> 686
[09:22] <Remenic> hehehe
[09:22] <Concretesledge> /home/concretes/Desktop/autozen-2.1/libgtk-1.2.so.0
[09:22] <Concretesledge> NOT FOUDN
[09:22] <Concretesledge> edit your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:22] <ben32167> whats a 586?
[09:22] <Rhine> This thing doesnt like me i downloaded the file from the azureus website and i run dpkg -i azureus_<IP_ADDRESS>_linux.tar.bz2 and it wont do anything
[09:22] <imbrandon> ben32167: actualy a k7 would be better "apt-get install linux-k7"
[09:22] <imbrandon> Rhine: you can only dpkg .deb files
[09:23] <ben32167> allright thanks imbrandon
[09:23] <Rhine> The instructions dont help o.O
[09:23] <imbrandon> a tar.gz you need to "tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz" and go into the dir it make and follow the README
[09:23] <Madpilot> Rhine, you can't use dpkg on a tar.bz2
[09:23] <ben32167> rhine sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , delete ## in front of lines startiing with deb.xx.x..x.x.x
[09:24] <imbrandon> actualy thats a bz2 huh you need to "tar -jxvf file.tar.bz2"
[09:24] <Concretesledge> root@lksadjfd-c67e0c:/home/concretes/Desktop/autozen-2.1# ./autozen
[09:24] <Concretesledge> ./autozen: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:25] <Concretesledge> what is a repository
[09:25] <imbrandon> a place with alot of .deb files
[09:25] <richard> imbrandon: ok i edited the file logged out and logged in it worked thanks
[09:26] <imbrandon> richard: your welcome ;)
[09:26] <Rhine> It now says this gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
[09:26] <Rhine> tar: Child returned status 1
[09:26] <Rhine> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[09:26] <Concretesledge> where do i put the lib file
[09:26] <Concretesledge> usr/bin/lib ?
[09:26] <Concretesledge> libgtk-1.2.so.0 i have it
[09:27] <ben32167> imbrandon, whats the reason that ubuntu doesnt include some common codecs of video and audio?
[09:27] <imbrandon> becouse of copyright issues in the usa
[09:27] <apokryphos> ben32167: they're non-free
[09:27] <imbrandon> you can get them from the plf resptiorys
[09:27] <Concretesledge> what is a repository
[09:28] <apokryphos> imbrandon: not just the USA, of course.
[09:28] <imbrandon> a place that stores .deb files on the internet
[09:28] <Rhine> Repository is a collect of applications you can install in Ubuntu
[09:28] <Concretesledge> autozen is an application
[09:28] <imbrandon> hehe your right apokryphos
[09:28] <imbrandon> ;)
[09:28] <Concretesledge> how do i run applications
[09:28] <Concretesledge> what is the .exe file in linux
[09:28] <apokryphos> either from the menu, from the terminal, or from alt+f2
[09:29] <ben32167> codecs are not program specific as in windows right? once installed they run with all players?
[09:29] <Concretesledge> menu ?
[09:29] <apokryphos> Concretesledge: a similar binary package is the .deb, in Ubuntu, but saying that it's just like an .exe is of course a little misleading.
[09:29] <ben32167> theres no exe in linux
[09:29] <apokryphos> ben32167: depending on whether they're installed in the appropriate location, but generally -- yes. Provided that the player supports them, too.
[09:29] <ben32167> thanks apokryphos
[09:30] <Matyas> hello :)
[09:30] <ben32167> /usr/lib is a good place for codecs?
[09:30] <apokryphos> Matyas: codecs might go there, but why do you need to know?
[09:31] <Concretesledge> Cannot display location 'file:///home/concretes/Desktop/autozen-1.2%20/home/concretes/Desktop/autozen1.2%20/home/concretes/Desktop/autozen-2.1/autozen%20/home/concretes/Desktop/autozen-2.1/INSTALL%20/home/concretes/Desktop/autozen-2.1/Makefile'
[09:31] <apokryphos> the .deb for the respective codecs should put it in the appropriate place
[09:31] <imbrandon> ben32167: most of the time, ie the win32codecs install in usr/lib/w32 or somethign similar
[09:31] <apokryphos> hi Matyas =)
[09:31] <Matyas> Hehe Hi
[09:31] <ben32167> allright
[09:31] <apokryphos> Concretesledge: erm, what's up with your file paths there :/
[09:31] <Concretesledge> i quit
[09:31] <imbrandon> ben32167: but install the codec from a deb it will put it where it needs to be no matter what the codec
[09:31] <Concretesledge> i have no idea
[09:31] <apokryphos> what are you trying to do?
[09:31] <Concretesledge> run autozen
[09:31] <Matyas> I actually came here to find out who know about traffic accounting soloution for Ubuntu>
[09:31] <Matyas> ?
[09:31] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, what is autozen?
[09:32] <Matyas> something that can be used for enterprise lvl
[09:32] <apokryphos> traffic accounting? Internet traffic?
[09:32] <Phosphate> Is there a *seperate* codec I can get just for mp3?  I have all my codecs installed, and I can play play mp3's etc.... But I'm trying to use soundconvertor to convert flac to mp3, but it grays out mp3 as a option
[09:32] <Concretesledge> Madpilot,  it is a program for Meditation, it induces theta,  and beta brainwaves
[09:32] <Matyas> Network
[09:32] <Matyas> traffic
[09:32] <Matyas> all incoming and outgoing traffic
[09:32] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, is there a Linux version? (got a URL for it?)
[09:32] <imbrandon> Phosphate: install lame
[09:32] <Phosphate> I ahve lame...
[09:32] <Concretesledge> Madpilot,  just google it..
[09:32] <apokryphos> Matyas: I presume gnome has a similar tool, but in KDE at least there's a very decent tool for it -- Knemo. KDE's network monitor.
[09:33] <Phosphate> That's a given
[09:33] <Concretesledge> autozen
[09:33] <Matyas> i found this
[09:33] <Matyas> http://netacct-mysql.gabrovo.com
[09:33] <Concretesledge> it is for linux only
[09:33] <imbrandon> Phosphate: no idea then lame is the only mp3 codec i use to convert
[09:33] <Matyas> yeah but i need to setup quotas
[09:33] <[C] hris> how do i open ssh
[09:33] <Rhine> Anyone installed SWT before?
[09:33] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, that's not very helpful - what URL did you download the files you're trying to install from?
[09:33] <apokryphos> [C] hris: ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:33] <[C] hris> its currently closed or blocked
[09:33] <Matyas> and also limit the speed etc
[09:33] <imbrandon> [C] hris: ssh <ip>
[09:33] <Concretesledge> Madpilot,  just a second
[09:33] <Phosphate> imbrandon: what program do you use?  maybe soundconvertor doesn't pick it up
[09:33] <apokryphos> [C] hris: though you can also use gftp to make connections over ssh
[09:33] <[C] hris> that does not open up ssh on my box
[09:34] <apokryphos> "open up"?
[09:34] <[C] hris> Yes open the port to acectp ssh connections
[09:34] <apokryphos> to be able to ssh to your box you have to install openssh, or whatever
[09:34] <imbrandon> ahh you need to install sshd and configure it
[09:34] <Phosphate> im trying to go from lossless (.flac) to mp3
[09:34] <ben32167> whatr the parameters to extract tar.bz?
[09:34] <imbrandon> tar -jxvf file.tar.bz2
[09:35] <apokryphos> actually, just install ssh should be fine
[09:35] <Rhine> How do install the zip file >.<
[09:35] <ben32167> tar -jxvf file.tar.bz2 /target?
[09:35] <Concretesledge> Madpilot,  http://www.linuxlabs.com/autozen.html#download
[09:35] <imbrandon> Rhine: you dont you unzip oit and follow the directions inside
[09:36] <Phosphate> imbrandon: did you not see my last question?
[09:36] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, did you try the .deb file there?
[09:36] <imbrandon> Phosphate: i use lame its self
[09:36] <Phosphate> Hmm :(
[09:36] <Phosphate> Does lame support flac?
[09:36] <imbrandon> conver whatver ( in your case a .flac ) to a wav and use lame to convert the wav to mp3
[09:37] <Phosphate> ouch, long process
[09:37] <Phosphate> :(
[09:37] <Concretesledge> lol
[09:37] <Rhine> Can someone download this or tell me how about i go installing it? http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.1.2-200601181600/swt-3.1.2-gtk-linux-x86.zip
[09:37] <imbrandon> yea i setup shell scripts to automate it
[09:37] <imbrandon> ;)
[09:37] <CrocoJet> hello ..
[09:37] <Phosphate> I got over 400mb of flac im dealing with
[09:37] <initard> anyone know a good wireless package for console?
[09:37] <imbrandon> Phosphate: you might try dir2ogg ( it does more than ogg files )'
[09:37] <Phosphate> ok
[09:37] <MistaED> does anyone have a gui frontend recommendation for like memcoder or other media converter apps?
[09:39] <Concretesledge> Madpilot,  i didnt know you where going to try it
[09:39] <CrocoJet> Ii am getting this error message "W: GPG error: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com breezy Release" in apt-get update, is this a problem ?
[09:39] <Concretesledge> Madpilot, let me know if it works for you..
[09:39] <Concretesledge> <-NOOB
[09:39] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, I'm not, but I'll walk you thru the basics
[09:39] <Concretesledge> Madpilot,  hm ok.. suite your self.
[09:39] <imbrandon> CrocoJet: not realy
[09:40] <Phosphate> imbrandon: looks like a pita :(
[09:40] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, grab the .deb file, save it whereever - Desktop is fine - then open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)
[09:40] <richard> imbrandon: i was wondering, i am trying to get a dock to work, i did sudo apt-get install wmfire, and added wmfire & to my startup script but it didnt not start and when i try to run it in a terminal it comes up for a second but then closes
[09:40] <imbrandon> Phosphate: yes kinda ;) lol but thats all i know about
[09:40] <CrocoJet> imbrandon: how to solve that ?
[09:40] <Concretesledge> .deb ?
[09:40] <richard> imbrandon: i was wondering, i am trying to get a dock to work, i did sudo apt-get install wmfire, and added wmfire & to my startup script but it didnt not start and when i try to run it in a terminal it comes up for a second but then closes
[09:40] <Phosphate> imbrandon: I think I will try a doze based program with wine ;)
[09:40] <Phosphate> It *might* work
[09:40] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, http://www.linux.edu/download/autozen_2.1-1_i386.deb
[09:41] <Concretesledge> ohhhh
[09:41] <imbrandon> Phosphate: yea, might i run photoshop that way
[09:41] <Concretesledge> i thought that was debian or something
[09:41] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, Ubuntu is based on Debian, so that .deb file might work
[09:41] <Phosphate> imbrandon: Ya, same here
[09:41] <initard> Is there a way to copy my wireless card drivers from one ubuntu to another ubuntu on dif partition?
[09:41] <imbrandon> richard: no idea man never used that prog BUT looks like the prog its self has the issue see if it has a error log or something
[09:41] <Phosphate> Well, I'm off to bed, goodnight :)
[09:42] <CrocoJet> do I need that in my source-list ?
[09:42] <CrocoJet> # gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv KEY
[09:42] <CrocoJet> # gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -
[09:42] <CrocoJet> # not indicate commentary ?
[09:42] <Concretesledge> Could not open "autozen_2.1-1_i386.deb"
[09:42] <Concretesledge> Archive type not supported.
[09:42] <Concretesledge> ok terminal
[09:43] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, double-clicking on a deb doesn't work (yet)
[09:43] <Concretesledge> Madpilot,  ok going terminal
[09:43] <Rhine> When i Run this  java -cp swt.jar:Azureus2.jar -Djava.library.path=. org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main I get  java -cp swt.jar:Azureus2.jar -Djava.library.path=. org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main
[09:43] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, where did you save the deb file?
[09:43] <imbrandon> Concretesledge: dpkg -i autozen..............deb
[09:43] <Rhine> o.O
[09:43] <neutrinomass> Can one read NTFS partitions with the livecd ?
[09:44] <CrocoJet> anyone want to share sources.list ?
[09:44] <imbrandon> neutrinomass: read but not write
[09:44] <Concretesledge> Errors were encountered while processing:
[09:44] <Concretesledge>  autozen
[09:44] <neutrinomass> imbrandon: Ok, thanks.
[09:44] <tuxmaniac> CrocoJet: I can
[09:44] <ohzie> Hey!
[09:44] <ohzie> I'm new to Ubuntu! :)
[09:44] <ohzie> I used to use Fedora Core.
[09:44] <CrocoJet> tuxmaniac: can you send via dcc file ?
[09:44] <Concretesledge> dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of autozen:
[09:44] <Concretesledge>  autozen depends on libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0); however:
[09:44] <Concretesledge>   Package libglib1.2 is not installed.
[09:44] <imbrandon> welcome ohzie
[09:44] <imbrandon> ;)
[09:44] <eml> anyone know what app i can view the input of my webcam with?
[09:45] <ohzie> imbrandon, Thank you! :)
[09:45] <graveson> where can i find info on enlightenment and how to configure it with gnome
[09:45] <Concretesledge> im guessing libglib 1.2 is a repository ?
[09:45] <neutrinomass> ohzie, what are you first impressions ? :)
[09:45] <Rhine> Is thier a utorrent for Linux?
[09:45] <imbrandon> ohzie: i used fc for a long time then tryed ubuntu and never looked back you will love it
[09:45] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, just a sec, let me check something
[09:45] <ohzie> imbrandon, Is there a site with easy answers to common things? With Fedora I found a site that helped me easily add package databases, graphics card drivers, among other things, to my install?
[09:46] <imbrandon> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
[09:46] <neutrinomass> ohzie, http://wiki.ubuntu.com ?
[09:46] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, yes it is - try "sudo apt-get install libglib1.2"
[09:46] <ohzie> neutrinomass, It works really nicely. Autodetected everything except my wireless card, which I knew would be an issue
[09:46] <tuxmaniac> neutrinomass: I want to upgrade gnome to the dapper version.. I have the sources .list file updated to dapper repositories.. When I type apt-get install gnome
[09:46] <Madpilot> ohzie, help.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com
[09:46] <ohzie> Oh, and my graphics card.
[09:46] <Concretesledge> sudo apt-get install libglib1.2
[09:47] <Concretesledge> Package libglib1.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:47] <Concretesledge> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[09:47] <Concretesledge> is only available from another source
[09:47] <tuxmaniac> neutrinomass: it says broken packages
[09:47] <ohzie> But while ATI's 3d drivers suck for linux, Radeons all handle default vga drivers decently. :)
[09:47] <Rhine> I just installed bittornado where is it located so i can launch it >.<
[09:47] <neutrinomass> ohzie: The autodetection part is lovely :) I used to use FC too, but I never really liked it.
[09:47] <imbrandon> yea first thing you want to lookinto ohzie is the apt-get sources.list but other than that you should be right at home with synaptic
[09:47] <ohzie> Thank you, Madpilot, and whoever else mentioned it
[09:47] <ohzie> Wow, thank all of you
[09:47] <Concretesledge> nice................
[09:47] <ohzie> So helpful
[09:47] <ohzie> :D
[09:47] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, that should have worked - have you changed your sources?
[09:47] <Concretesledge> omg is it like this everytime you want to install something ?
[09:48] <Concretesledge> Madpilot,  no.. someone was trying to explain it.. upgradeing sourcese.. but
[09:48] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, no, usually it's much, much easier - Synaptic is brilliant
[09:48] <Concretesledge> i was lost
[09:48] <neutrinomass> tuxmaniac: Sorry, can't really help. Try #ubuntu+1, which is for Dapper
[09:48] <Concretesledge> so i need to edit the sources.list ?
[09:48] <Madpilot> Concretesledge, I'm signing off in a bit - it's late here - but read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[09:49] <ben32167> where can i get a sources.list file?
[09:49] <ohzie> The Fedora version I was using had a problem where it's package database would become unstable after just a few days, so you had to change it from berkeleyDB(sp?) to another type for it to stay stable. do I have to do anything like that with ubuntu?
[09:49] <Madpilot> !+repos
[09:49] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[09:49] <imbrandon> ohzie:  nah
[09:49] <Madpilot> ben32167, ^^^
[09:49] <ohzie> imbrandon, Thank god.
[09:49] <Madpilot> ohzie, Ubuntu uses apt-get & deb, not rpm
[09:49] <Rhine> I just installed Bittornado through synaptic but it doesn't show up in the internet shortcut where is it o.O
[09:49] <ben32167> well someone should post a sources.list on web
[09:50] <imbrandon> ohzie:  learn to use apt-get and synaptic it will be your savior ( also edit the default /etc/apt/sources.list right away )
[09:50] <Invader_Zim_zimm> Who got Open-Ldap to authenticate with Apache 2.2 before?
[09:50] <[C] hris> You can use RPMs if you install the manager
[09:50] <imbrandon> Rhine: just type bittornado ina shell promt untill you reboot
[09:50] <Madpilot> ben32167, there is one - see the URLs that ubotu posted - the ones I just pointed you to above...
[09:50] <ohzie> OH YEAH my other question
[09:50] <ohzie> When I used Debian before, I had a problem with apt-get
[09:50] <ohzie> The cache got filled
[09:50] <ohzie> And it took me days to figure out the problem
[09:50] <imbrandon> not a prob with ubuntu
[09:50] <ohzie> The apt-cache got filled or something
[09:51] <ohzie> Okay
[09:51] <ohzie> Awesome.
[09:51] <ohzie> I'm loving this more and more.
[09:51] <Madpilot> !+enter
[09:51] <imbrandon> also if it does just run apt-get clean
[09:51] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[09:51] <ben32167> madpilot, i mean a repository index, now official ones but all
[09:51] <ben32167> such as opera etc.
[09:51] <Madpilot> !easysource
[09:51] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[09:52] <Madpilot> ben32167, that source-o-matic will do some of what you want, hopefully without breaking your Ubuntu install...
[09:52] <imbrandon> Madpilot: is there a list of bot commands?
[09:52] <ohzie> Next thing...I heard that Hoary Hedgehog was bloated, but I'm using it anyways because I'm not comfortable with using the beta of a distro I'm brand new to. Is there anything I should be careful with about Hoary? And is updating from Hoary to Dapper Drake simplified in any way?
[09:52] <Madpilot> !tell imbrandon about list
[09:52] <Tomcat__> ohzie: Hoary is not the latest stable :)
[09:53] <Tomcat__> ohzie: And when you upgrade to dapper, you need to upgrade to breezy first.
[09:53] <imbrandon> ohzie: ive been using dapper for months now just fine
[09:53] <imbrandon> but upgrade to breezy first
[09:53] <ben32167> wow kool thanks madpilot
[09:53] <ohzie> Oh
[09:53] <ohzie> What am I using, of not Hoary?
[09:53] <ohzie> Oh, I'm using Breezy
[09:53] <ohzie> Ooooohhhh
[09:53] <ohzie> Okay.
[09:53] <imbrandon> then dapper, but its just a matter of editing the sources.list file and then doing at "apt-get dist-upgrade"
[09:53] <neutrinomass> I'm on dapper too. I didn't go through the updating process, but there are no really major issues on dapper as of now....
[09:53] <ohzie> Whatever, I'm stupid. Sorry.
[09:54] <Madpilot> ohzie, ease up on the Enter key, please...
[09:54] <ohzie> Madpilot, I'm sorry. I'll work on that.
[09:54] <cyphase> oh shhhhh..
[09:54] <PwcrLinux> Upgrade to breezy, it's recommended for upgrading like codename version steppings//
[09:54] <imbrandon> its just a matter of editing the sources.list file and then doing at "apt-get dist-upgrade"
[09:54] <cyphase> any program i use that accesses the web is giving me a segmentation fault
[09:54] <cyphase> or maybe it's DNS..
[09:55] <cyphase> yea, DNS
[09:55] <imbrandon> ohzie: like if you have breezy install edit your sources.list and change all the words "breezy" to "dapper" and run "apt-get dist-upgrade" its that simple
[09:57] <ohzie> imbrandon, Awesome.
[09:59] <imbrandon> i realy need to install a better irc client lol
[09:59] <Motivez> Heh, well I got X to load finally after removing all that /dev/wacom crap
[09:59] <Motivez> Had to disable dri from the module section
[09:59] <Motivez> Can't seem to change my resolution, though
[09:59] <Motivez> 640x480 ftl
[10:01] <imbrandon> anyone know a good replacement for idesk?
[10:01] <initard> when will dapper be considered stable, tentatively?
[10:02] <imbrandon> initard: end of the month i think, but i've been running it for a while and no probs
[10:02] <cyphase> anyone?
[10:02] <initard> imbrandon, does it have good soundcard support?
[10:03] <cyphase> why would my DNS suddenly stop working? I'm getting a SegFault everytime a program tries to use DNS
[10:03] <initard> like you would know
[10:03] <imbrandon> initard: support all my sounds cards i have here ( install on 4 diffrent computers with everything from an audigy to an isa soundblaster to onboard sound )
[10:03] <ben32167> how do i upgrade to dapper from breezy?
[10:03] <initard> i have neomagic
[10:04] <imbrandon> ben32167: like if you have breezy install edit your sources.list and change all the words "breezy" to "dapper" and run "apt-get dist-upgrade" its that simple
[10:04] <imbrandon> reboot when done and you have a dapper install
[10:04] <ben32167> i get error W: Couldn't stat source package list http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/univers e Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_univers e_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[10:04] <initard> it works with hotplugs but hotplugs freezes on boot every other time or more so i disabled it and lost sound
[10:04] <initard> dapper doesnt use hotplugs does it?
[10:05] <imbrandon> yea
[10:05] <imbrandon> hold on
[10:05] <imbrandon> ben one sec
[10:05] <ben32167> i havent rebooted
[10:05] <initard> yes it does or yes  it doesnt?
[10:05] <ben32167> lemme reboot
[10:05] <initard> oh, not me
[10:05] <cyphase> hm
[10:05] <cyphase> it was network manager's dns server
[10:06] <mpathy_> Hi there.. How can I get a Powerbook G3 (old world I think) get to work without using the BootX method? Because I dont have a OS 9 or 8 Install CD for this machine?!
[10:06] <initard> you mean you want it to boot into text prompt?
[10:07] <mpathy_> I tried the install cd of 5.10 as usual, but it stops, at different stages of the installation.. sometimes at start sometimes at least at the partitioning
[10:07] <initard> boot type server
[10:08] <mpathy_> initard_ it doesnt matter which type of installation
[10:08] <initard> its the base install and doesnt go to the red and blue color install
[10:08] <initard> oh, yeah your right
[10:08] <leo__> hi , is it possible to have the live cd skip all the "debian installer" questions so it directly boots into gnome?
[10:08] <imbrandon> ben32167: here is the sources.list is use for dapper, replace your sources.list with this and do a "apt-get dist-upgrade"    http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12150
[10:09] <ben32167> apt-get update will solve the problem i guess
[10:09] <imbrandon> err yea apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:09] <ben32167> working
[10:09] <imbrandon> you can use my sources.list from http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12150 too if you like
[10:10] <ben32167> i run dist upgrade, ill use yours after
[10:10] <imbrandon> it has the plf stuff for w32codecs and libdvdcss2 also
[10:10] <ben32167> allright thank you
[10:11] <ben32167> looks like this will take 4 hours lol
[10:11] <FlannelKing> leo__: it only asks for language and stuff, if I remember correctly.
[10:11] <imbrandon> ( and also the apt-mirror line you can delete if you want , i run a local mirror here for my network at home )
[10:11] <pjv> what do they mean by network cluster, or clustering?
[10:12] <leo__> FlannelKing: yes , but I want my end-users to go directly in the graphical environment
[10:12] <leo__> is this possible?
[10:12] <imbrandon> ben32167: yea it will take a while on the first run but i us (k)ubuntu and i think its WELL worth it
[10:13] <imbrandon> pjv:  google beowolf
[10:13] <pjv> i had the feeling that would be it
[10:13] <pjv> ty
[10:14] <FlannelKing> leo__: hmm, well, technically, yes.  If its easy... I don't know.  You'd have to ask someone who knows how it all works.  I know it's possible to make your own liveCDs with a grub menu and stuff, (we're not talking about ubuntu specific here), so.. yeah, I imagine it would be doable to pass arguments and have it not ask.  You'd want to ask the developers.  mailing list or whatnot.
[10:14] <leo__> maybe with a preseed?
[10:15] <initard> quit
[10:15] <ben32167> lol 1 good thing is i converted all my mp3s to ogg before installing ubuntu
[10:15] <ben32167> took days lololol
[10:15] <FlannelKing> ben32167: you lost a lot of quality too
[10:16] <ben32167> vell i converted 128 to 160 variable
[10:16] <asdf25> i had compiz/xgl working, then i installed quinn's compiz-0.0.9-0ubuntu2 and now when Xgl/compiz start, Xgl loads and the cursor and desktop backgorund change, then nothing else happens, and compiz.real and gconfd-2 are each taking 50% cpu... any suggestions?
[10:16] <ben32167> dont think i lost much
[10:16] <arun> hi.. after i run an mplayer and close it.. any text i type is not visible in the terminal from which the mplayer was opened.. any guesses on what could be the problem
[10:17] <imbrandon> arun: no idea but if you find out lemme know thats happens on all distros lol not just ubuntu so i'm guessing its mplayer to fault
[10:18] <arun> imbrandon, sure :).. thanks anyway
[10:18] <ben32167> i will install freebsd today, ubuntu will stay though
[10:19] <imbrandon> hehe good luck ;)
[10:19] <whyMan> hello
[10:19] <graveson> is using automatix safe to install applications
[10:19] <Ribs> graveson: Not really. It's the coward's way out :>
[10:19] <FlannelKing> graveson: use EasyUbuntu.
[10:19] <ardchoille> graveson: IMHO, using automatix is a no no
[10:19] <ompaul> !automatix
[10:19] <ubotu> [automatix]  unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[10:19] <imbrandon> graveson: its safe , specialy if your using gnome
[10:20] <imbrandon> ok nm lol
[10:21] <imbrandon> klined , ouch
[10:21] <ardchoille> indeed
[10:21] <ompaul> imbrandon, freenode is forgiving to a point
[10:22] <ohzie> Oh, fedora uses CIFS for samba sharing. What does Ubuntu use? CIFS or old samba?
[10:22] <PwcrLinux> yep, spambot or whatever..
[10:22] <ompaul> if that happens you have to be *special*
[10:22] <imbrandon> hehe
[10:22] <imbrandon> ohzie: cifs i beleave
[10:24] <PwcrLinux> gn all :)
[10:24] <ohzie> imbrandon, crash course on cifs?
[10:24] <ohzie> And where is my term? >:(
[10:24] <ohzie> I wanna do man
[10:24] <imbrandon> hehe i use webmin to config my samba server ;)
[10:24] <ohzie> But I can't find a terminal. Sorry, I'm trying to remember the enter thing. I'll work on that a bit harder.
[10:25] <ohzie> Oh there it is.  :X
[10:26] <straylite> mornin' all
[10:26] <imbrandon> morn
[10:27] <straylite> anyone been able to get dolby digital/dts output thru spdif in breezy on an sb live card? :)
[10:29] <imbrandon> ohzie: just for giggles i just made a screenshot of my desktop http://imbrandon.sytes.net/mydesk.png
[10:32] <arrick> ok guys, I have this line in my /etc/fstab
[10:32] <ohzie> imbrandon, :D nice. It's loading. Slowly. what window managers are easily installable via synaptic?
[10:32] <arrick> /dev/sda on /media/PORTABLE type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0
[10:33] <harisund> intelikey: Are you around?
[10:33] <arrick> I want to format this drive with an ext3 format, how do I go about it?
[10:33] <ohzie> imbrandon, Oh no! My name is pink! =O
[10:33] <imbrandon> hahaha
[10:33] <imbrandon> thats just what it defaultew to lol
[10:34] <harisund> arrick: I believe you should look for a function named mkfs.
[10:34] <harisund> arrick: I think you can use mkfs.ext3
[10:34] <kUtieWhtChiX14> hello everyone
[10:34] <ben32167> hi
[10:34] <Gosha> !+themes
[10:34] <ubotu> it has been said that themes is try installing gnome-art (sudo apt-get install gnome-art) and running it from System -> Preferences -> Art Manager (On Breezy). It downloads and installs themes from http://art.gnome.org/ Some other sites with various themes include: http://art.ubuntu.com - http://www.gnome-look.org - http://kdelook.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com See also !KDEThemes
[10:35] <arrick> harisund, it already has the ntfs filesystme on it, can I get rid of it that way?
[10:35] <imbrandon> _arrik i think its mke2fs -T ext3 /dev/hdX
[10:35] <harisund> arrick: I blieve you can
[10:35] <arrick> ok thanks
[10:35] <kUtieWhtChiX14> can any of you guys help me with my unbuntu install
[10:35] <harisund> arrick: First you will have to make  sure it is not mounted.
[10:35] <kUtieWhtChiX14> ooooo mounted :-D
[10:36] <kUtieWhtChiX14> lol jk
[10:36] <harisund> arrick: I am trying it on my USB disk. It got mounted, and I couldn't use mkfs.ext3. It is /dev/sda1
[10:36] <arrick> ok
[10:36] <imbrandon> _arrik i think its mke2fs -T ext3 /dev/sda1

[10:37] <kevinz> My partition table seems have some problem as "QtPart" tells "Critical error during ped_disk_new" and "fdisk -l" shows "Partition 1&2 (MS Win Partitions) does not end on cylinder boundary." Am I able to fix this problem with the help of certain software?
[10:37] <ompaul> kUtieWhtChiX14, (A) this is not a chat channel (B) what do you mean by help with install - we can help but we need more info than that

[10:39] <arrick> not working here Harimwakairi
[10:39] <robokop> does sb now a nice java development environment like eclipse, but a bit less resource expensive
[10:39] <arrick> harisund,
[10:39] <arrick> not working here harisund
[10:40] <harisund> arrick: Hmm.. hang on, let me also try ..
[10:41] <imbrandon> anyone got any recomendations on an idesk replacement?
[10:41] <imbrandon> for use with fluxbox
[10:42] <harisund> arrick: What exactly did you try?
[10:42] <arrick> I tried the mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
[10:42] <harisund> And the output?
[10:42] <harisund> (Don't paste here !)
[10:43] <arrick> then when it didnt work, i deleted that partition and then created one
[10:43] <harisund> you *what* ? How do you mean deleted that partition? Is that a partition?
[10:43] <arrick> arrick@ubuntu:~$ mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
[10:43] <arrick> mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
[10:43] <arrick> Could not stat /dev/sda1 --- No such file or directory
[10:43] <arrick> The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
[10:43] <arrick> sorry
[10:43] <HandleSchmandle> aftenposten.no
[10:44] <arrick> same error with sudo as well
[10:44] <arrick> yes that is a partition, there are 4 of them on this thing
[10:44] <robokop> hey guys
[10:44] <LoCusF> arrick: take a look at sudo fdisk -l
[10:44] <robokop> does sb now a nice java development environment like eclipse, but a bit less resource expensive
[10:44] <harisund> Thanks LoCusF for that suggestion.
[10:44] <arrick> that one was the ntfs, then you have a novell, a plugnpray, and an empty partition as well
[10:44] <vge> <3 eclipse
[10:44] <harisund> Yes arrick: try that ..
[10:45] <graveson> is it only me or is trancode a complicated app
[10:45] <arrick> ok, harisund LoCusF wnat to join #arrick and ill paste?
[10:46] <LoCusF> arrick: use pastebin?
[10:46] <arrick> ok
[10:46] <Concretesledge> oh im so pissed.
[10:46] <arrick> !pastebin
[10:46] <ubotu> well, pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[10:47] <m_0_r_0_n> Hi, I ve a question to crontab. There is one line like "test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily" This statement asks if anacron exists and is executable. This statement assumes, that anacron is running if the binary exists. Do you know why that is? Run-parts wont never be executed, if the binary exists. Is there another mechanism to make sure, all programs in /usr/sbins are running?
[10:47] <arrick> harisund, LoCusF http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12151
[10:49] <bliss1__> hi all
[10:49] <harisund> hmm I am really not sure arrick.  Hang on, let me try search online for some resource.
[10:50] <imbrandon> m_0_r_0_n: ps ax|grep anacron ?
[10:50] <bliss1__> need some help on a kernel recompile
[10:50] <FlannelKing> arrick: you might check out gparted ;) its a nice GUI.
[10:50] <ubuntu> hi
[10:51] <graveson> what tool can i use to setup ipchains
[10:51] <LoCusF> graveson: firestarter
[10:51] <arrick> ok, is it in the repos FlannelKing ?
[10:51] <harisund> arrick: from what I understand, there seem to be some errors in the /dev/sda device. Otherwise why would you get a "
[10:51] <harisund> Partitiontableentriesarenotindiskorder" message? Do you think so LoCusF?
[10:52] <LoCusF> harisund: dunno about that
[10:52] <arrick> it has the drivers in the second section for plugnpray
[10:52] <arrick> adn it has one block for novell client drivers, and the empty I dont know
[10:53] <ardchoille> LOL @ plugnpray
[10:53] <wy> hi all
[10:53] <bliss1__> arrick: hi
[10:53] <guard952> Anyone know how to get a lexmark x1150 printing with ubuntu?
[10:53] <ardchoille> hi wy
[10:53] <FlannelKing> arrick: I think it's in universe, if not main repository.
[10:53] <m_0_r_0_n> imbrandon, the file anacron exists ans is running on my system. But there is another system, where anacron is not running. But you can also find the statement in the crontab. When are the programs in /usr/sbin/ beeing started ?
[10:53] <alan|laptop> hellooo
[10:53] <harisund> hmm..arrick if I were you, I would try and check if I could make a back up of everything, and try a clean reformat and repartition of the whole sda drive. I don't know how that could be done though :--( . Anyway, that apart, is that like a 160 GB external USB hard disk?
[10:53] <wy> anyone knows why lftp to localhost costs too much time to connect?
[10:53] <arrick> I got it FlannelKing thanks
[10:54] <arrick> yes
[10:54] <ron_> no
[10:54] <ron_> :p
[10:54] <alan|laptop> each time i choose via as a driver in my xorg.conf, my screen won't turn on... does anyone know why ?
[10:54] <wahjava> Hi channel
[10:54] <wy> hi ardchoille
[10:54] <wahjava> I'd a problem with my network port
[10:54] <m_0_r_0_n> alan|laptop, have you got an ATI card?
[10:55] <alan|laptop> nope
[10:55] <alan|laptop> via based.
[10:55] <wahjava> I'm currently managing a server (mobo Intel SE7520BD2) with Marvell Yukon Gigabit Port, and Intel PRO1000 Gigabit port
[10:55] <harisund> I am really sorry arrick. I am not sure what can be done :( . Probably use some live CD to boot so that the disks don't get mounted, and then use some application that allows for formatting / partitioning.
[10:55] <wahjava> The problem is that my Marvell port takes time during initialization
[10:55] <arrick> its not mounted right now
[10:55] <wahjava> Around 4-5 minutes
[10:56] <wahjava> I've connected Marvell Yukon port to D-LINK switch via CAT5 cable on a Gigabit port
[10:56] <arrick> ok FlannelKing if I want to use gparted does it have to be mounted?
[10:56] <arrick> its not seing it for some reason
[10:56] <FlannelKing> arrick: not that I remember.  There's a dropdown at the top for different physical drives.
[10:57] <arrick> that helps thanks
[10:57] <FlannelKing> (erm, if I remember correctly, it's been a while since Ive used a GUI, let alone gparted)
[10:57] <wahjava> Well yukon port always get initialized @ 1000 Mbps full duplex
[10:57] <wahjava> So, what could be the problem, or it is normal with Gigabit ports
[10:57] <wahjava> As this is my first time I'm doing something Gigabit Ethernet
[10:58] <wahjava> I'm running Breezy on Server
[10:58] <FlannelKing> arrick: yeah, top right corner, change drives.
[10:59] <arrick> yep, what is better, ext3, or ext2?
[10:59] <wahjava> anybody here who can help me ??
[10:59] <arrick> !justask
[10:59] <ubotu> Ask your question and we'll try to answer it.
[10:59] <_kalm> hello, how do u access usb pendrives.. cant find it (unix noob) :-) ive tried all the possible ways (that i know) and it seems to know that the device is there somewhere...
[10:59] <_kalm> helo
[10:59] <_kalm> help*
[11:00] <arrick> ok FlannelKing its formatting now, thanks for your help guys
[11:00] <arrick> night
[11:01] <shinu> why does: cat file | sed '/something/' not work?
[11:01] <ohzie> Someone mentioned a list of repositories I could add? Where was that, again? I'm sorry. Still getting used to some things.
[11:02] <shinu> !repos
[11:02] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[11:02] <shinu> you mean that?
[11:02] <Smerity> hey, I'm just compiling Mplayer from source, are there any issues with from-source software and Synaptic/apt-get?
[11:03] <harisund> shinu: Why would you want to cat a file and then pipe it to sed? Can;t you directly use sed instead?
[11:04] <_kalm> seriously i cant access my pen drive!
[11:04] <shinu> harisund: well i could do sed '/something/' file right?
[11:04] <chamo> hello
[11:04] <_kalm> its pissin me off!
[11:04] <harisund> shinu: I am guessing you /something/ is a regular expression?
[11:05] <harisund> shinu: then you would need to do "sed -e '/something/' fileName
[11:05] <shinu> harisund: not necessarily? cant it be a word?
[11:05] <ompaul> _kalm, well language will not get it done - which version of ubuntu are you using?
[11:05] <harisund> shinu: yep, not just a reg. exp
[11:06] <wy> anyone familiar with wireless lan setup?
[11:06] <harisund> wy: Yes.. are you looking for something in particular?
[11:06] <Sp4rky41> !kde
[11:06] <ubotu> I heard kde is A powerful, free desktop environment for UNIX. IRC: #kubuntu #kde ; install from Ubuntu: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop ; ISOs: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/breezy/
[11:06] <shinu> harisund: harisund sed -e '/something/' file still gives me: sed: -e expression #1, char 7: missing command
[11:06] <wy> Yes. I'm configuring my thinkpad x22
[11:06] <Sp4rky41> !KDE
[11:06] <ubotu> hmm... kde is A powerful, free desktop environment for UNIX. IRC: #kubuntu #kde ; install from Ubuntu: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop ; ISOs: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/breezy/
[11:07] <ompaul> _kalm, use system - administration - disks and that should sort you out.
[11:07] <wahjava> Is this the right place to ask such questions ??
[11:07] <wy> just updated the wireless lan firmware. But hostap still can't work
[11:07] <harisund> shinu: Ok can you give me a particular example of hat you are trying? Probably post your file and some sample of what you are searching for, so that I too can give it a try?
[11:07] <asdffasf> how to change root password?
[11:08] <ompaul> !root
[11:08] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[11:08] <_kalm> sudo passwd root
[11:08] <harisund> wy: Oh I am sorry, I thought you wanted help configuring your wireless card to access the internet .. does your card get recognized at all? I am not sure I can help you out thn ...
[11:08] <ompaul> asdffasf, ^^^^^^#
[11:08] <_kalm> or jjust passwd root
[11:08] <_kalm> i think
[11:08] <wy> Maybe it's recognized... But it just can't connect
[11:08] <harisund> shinu: What are you using sed in this case for anyway? Are you just searching for a string?
[11:08] <wy> iwconfig shows wifi0 and eth0
[11:08] <shinu> harisund: yes
[11:08] <harisund> wy: If you want to know if your card is recognized, look at the output of iwconfig in your terminal
[11:09] <ompaul> _kalm, don't tell people what you told them show them that page and then they can do what they want, thanks
[11:09] <harisund> wy: For all unrecognized cards, you will get "no wireless extensions" and for the wireless card you will get some details. Can you have a look at that?
[11:09] <harisund> shinu: If searching for a string is what you want, have a look at grep and fgrep.
[11:09] <harisund> shinu: They are simpler to use too
[11:10] <asdffasf> I need to initiate network card every time i connect to internet, why?
[11:10] <shinu> harisund: yes i know about grep but i wanted to extract specific strings
[11:10] <shinu> harisund: like from an index.html file extract all the jpgs or osmething
[11:10] <wy> harisund: My iwconfig shows "wifi0" and "eth0"
[11:10] <ompaul> asdffasf, are you saving your settings, if you are then I suggest that the card has a fault, it was the only thing I had seen before
[11:10] <harisund> shinu: Oh I see..
[11:11] <shinu> harisund: might using awk a better solution or not?
[11:11] <harisund> shinu That's an interesting problem, choosing *.jpg from an index.html.. I am really not sure what the best tool would be in this case, though I am sure there is just a perfect one..
[11:11] <harisund> Probably some one else might be able to help us out here?
[11:12] <wy> harisund: how do you add "wy:" to the front of your line? typeing you id is too long... sorry I'm new to irc
[11:12] <shinu> harisund: well.. i could write up a perl script but i dont want it :P
[11:12] <visik7> anyone has try the new x1x00 ati proprietary driver ?
[11:12] <shinu> wy: use [tab] ? for nick completion?
[11:12] <harisund> wy: Ok let's assume wifi0 is a wireless card.. can you paste the output of your iwconfig somewhere on the web, like ubuntu paste.ubuntu.nl ? And you can use hari instead of harisund
[11:13] <wy> Yes. I'll paste it
[11:14] <asdffasf> how to change user pass*
[11:14] <asdffasf> ?
[11:14] <ompaul> asdffasf, system administration users&gropus
[11:14] <harisund> shinu: Hmm.. let's see..
[11:15] <wy> I can't connect to  paste.ubuntu.nl
[11:15] <ompaul> wy, so do a screenshot hit print screen
[11:15] <harisund> wy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[11:15] <harisund> wy: I thought you had known about that. Sorry :D
[11:16] <asdffasf> wd
[11:17] <wy> I pasted it to http://rafb.net/paste
[11:17] <harisund> wy: that's fine, but I will need the exact url of the page you pasted it in.
[11:17] <gerhard> morning
[11:17] <wy> http://rafb.net/paste/results/vtBTBt95.html
[11:17] <harisund> wy: otherwise I will not be able to access it
[11:18] <chamo> hi gerhard
[11:18] <harisund> wy: hmm.. looks like both eth0 and wifi0 are your wireless interfaces.. by any chance do you have 2 interfaces? Maybe an inbuilt card and a pcmcia card?
[11:19] <wy> No. I have only one card
[11:19] <wy> hari: if I do a "ifconfig wifi0 up", both "wifi0" and "eth0" will show up in ifconfig
[11:20] <harisund> wy: ok lets use eth0 then. What is the name of the essid you want to connect to?
[11:20] <wy> uonenet01
[11:20] <_kalm> how do u edit the startx command to start with another workspace like iceWM or fluxbox???
[11:20] <harisund> wy: Ok that's good. Are you using a wep key?
[11:21] <wy> yes
[11:21] <harisund> wy: And wait, that wireless network belongs to you? I mean, are you sure it is working, the router is fine, other computers are connecting to it and etc?
[11:22] <harisund> wy: And I am assuming it is using the DHCP protocol to assign IP addresses to machines?
[11:22] <wy> hari: it's fine. My boss's computer is connected to it with windows
[11:22] <wy> Yes. It uses DHCP
[11:22] <harisund> wy: Ok. Next, you do know about using sudo for commands, right?
[11:23] <wy> need I edit /etc/network/interfaces?
[11:23] <harisund> wy: So here is what I normally do to connect to a wireless network with interface eth0
[11:23] <wy> Yes. I can su
[11:23] <harisund> wy: sudo iwconfig eth0 mode managed essid uonenet01 key<PHONE_NUMBER>0
[11:24] <harisund> wy: of course in the above command replace the number with your wep key
[11:24] <harisund> wy: Typically this command should produce no output at all, since we are merely informing the eth0 interface what it should know before connecting.
[11:24] <chamo> question, how can I change font size in xterm ?
[11:25] <wy> hari: OK. I've done.
[11:25] <harisund> wy: Ok, now in order to get an ip address, do "sudo dhclient eth0" and see if you can paste the entire output of that command somewhere....
[11:26] <menisk> hello
[11:26] <DarthLappy> Hello menisk :)
[11:26] <menisk>  HEY
[11:27] <harisund> wy: Any luck?
[11:27] <Kezman1974> Is there a way I can get my 88E8053 network card to work?
[11:27] <harisund> Dear ubuntuers is anybody aware of a method to change screen resolution using a command line instruction?
[11:27] <Lorvija> hey, i forgot.. where's the tutorial to get mp3's etc working.. or what's the package name(s)?
[11:27] <wy> hari: Yes!!! It works!
[11:28] <DarthLappy> !restrictedformats
[11:28] <ubotu> restrictedformats is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats Most of the formats listed here can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[11:28] <harisund> wy: Yay !
[11:28] <wy> hari: thank you very much!
[11:28] <harisund> wy: Ok a couple of details..
[11:28] <Lorvija> darthlappy: thanks
[11:28] <harisund> wy: Firstly these 2 are the general commands for configuring wireless interfaces..
[11:28] <Lacrimadoro> MA SI PARLA SOLO INGLESE QUI??
[11:28] <Lorvija> !freeformats
[11:28] <ubotu> There are a large number of Free Formats which are preferred over patent and copyright encumbered formats. They are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeFormats
[11:28] <harisund> wy: The first one sets the details, the second one asks the DHCP server (the router) to get an IP address.. so you could write a quick script that contains these two lines and call them to get an IP address.
[11:29] <orbin> !it
[11:29] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[11:29] <harisund> wy: And if you are moving between place to place, you might want to have multiple such scripts, or something along those lines.. do you get my point?
[11:29] <wy> hari: Can't I put them into /etc/network/interfaces?
[11:29] <harisund> wy: And finally I would put them in /etc/network/interfaces, but it might not always get an ip while booting.. but typically yes you can put it there..
[11:30] <Lacrimadoro> GRAZIE
[11:30] <wy> hari: Yes. I see
[11:30] <harisund> wy: But be sure you know how to edit /etc/network/interfaces file.
[11:30] <wy> hari: so the interfaces lines are like those of others?
[11:30] <harisund> wy: Can you paste your existing interfaces file? (sorry...)
[11:30] <wy> how do I get the iwconfig command into it?
[11:30] <harisund> wy: For wireless there are other options.
[11:30] <wy> Yes.
[11:31] <harisund> wy: Ah that's the pont, you can't get the iwconfig command into it .
[11:31] <harisund> wy: Which is why I asked earlier if you knew about editing the interfaces file..
[11:31] <wy> hari: tell me
[11:31] <harisund> wy: Editing the /etc/network/interfaces file for wireless interfaces requires some extra key words.
[11:31] <harisund> wy: Hang on for a moment.
[11:32] <wy> hari: http://rafb.net/paste/results/uUdOhW77.html
[11:32] <bliss1_> hi
[11:32] <menisk>  Hello can somebody hep me. I need to make an ubuntu boot floppy and cant find one or how to make 1 on google
[11:32] <wy> hari: what are they?
[11:32] <Kezman1974> I may just cry, is there a way to get a 1gb network card (88E8053) working in Ubuntu?
[11:32] <harisund> wy: Hang on, I will create a paste and tell you .. give me a moment or two
[11:32] <wy> hari: OK
[11:33] <orbin> how do you specifiy the saved filename for a file w/ wget?
[11:33] <wy> hari: And do you know how can I exchange my wired and wireless card numbers. I want the wired card to be eth0.
[11:34] <harisund> wy: No, I don't think you can do that..
[11:34] <harisund> orbin: I doubt if you could do that ....
[11:34] <orbin> ubotu: tell menisk about bootdisk
[11:34] <orbin> harisund: ah, dman.
[11:34] <harisund> wy: Anyway, as I was saying eth0 and eth1 are automatically assigned by Linux.. (any Linux) so you cant change it
[11:35] <orbin> s/dman/damn :)
[11:35] <bliss1_> trying to copy ormove a bit torrent tgz from desktop in hda1 to /usr/scr directory in hda2 is the command sudo mv /home/bliss1/Desktop /mntdev/hda2/usr/src
[11:35] <stjepan> !kde4
[11:35] <ubotu> rumour has it, kde4 is http://www.canllaith.org/svn-features/kde4.html
[11:35] <harisund> I once tried searching for that long and hard, on forums, on google, on irc everywhere... (orbin)
[11:35] <wy> hari: I'm just wondering where did ifconfig get the names of interfaces
[11:35] <harisund> wy: I really don't know, but I doubt if you could change it ..
[11:35] <harisund> wy: just a minute .. I am editing your file and making a new paste
[11:36] <orbin> harisund: i was thinking redirection: wget http://file > alternatefilename

[11:38] <harisund> orbin: I believe what that does is basically redirect the output of wget into alternatefilename, which isn't what you want, right?

[11:38] <mthakur> huh?
[11:39] <bliss1_> harisund or  mv /home/bliss1/Desktop/name of file /mnt/dev/hda2/usr/scr
[11:39] <harisund> bliss1_ that mv command looks mysterious. What are you trying to move where?

[11:39] <harisund> Typically that command looks correct.
