[06:00] <Dr_willis> wine/cedega
[06:00] <scguy318> bitbit: Screens and Graphics should have generated an xorg.conf backup
[06:00] <Cpudan80> ma2: If it's that important to you, run windows as dual-boot
[06:01] <allenc> rbil: I am a neewb... dunno....
[06:01] <Cpudan80> Unfortunately, nothing can totally replace Windows... yet

[06:04] <Cpudan80> ma2: follow the directions that ubotu gave you

[06:10] <jordan> is there much of a difference between Linux Mint and Ubuntu?

[06:10] <ma2> scguy318:i forgot how to find that?
[06:10] <bitbit> scguy318: does Screens and Graphics backups all xorg.conf?
[06:11] <scguy318> jordan: thats /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:11] <scguy318> bitbit: it should I think
[06:11] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS>/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[06:11] <scguy318> bitbit: if not you can do it yourself
[06:11] <scguy318> bitbit: make sure to restart X of course when changing xorg.con
[06:11] <scguy318> *conf
[06:12] <bitbit> scguy318: I did and it didn't change back to the way it was. I think it changed to one of my older attempts to get it back before I tried your method

[06:15] <buibui> hello I want to share files to my XP network
[06:15] <buibui> I've got samba installed, what now?
[06:15] <scguy318> !samba | buibui
[06:15] <ubotu> buibui: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[06:15] <buibui> Can i go the opposite way around and share folders on this ubuntu install to my xp network
[06:16] <buibui> (to backup)
[06:16] <ma2> scguy318:am lost!
[06:16] <scguy318> buibui: yes
[06:16] <scguy318> ma2: pastebin
[06:16] <buibui> is that info in the link?
[06:16] <hwdyki> what package do i install to get java developement tools?
[06:16] <scguy318> ma2: the command LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
[06:16] <scguy318> hwdyki: like an IDE?
[06:16] <scguy318> hwdyki: or the JDK?
[06:17] <scguy318> hwdyki: JDK that would be sun-java6-jdk
[06:17] <mohkohn> Is partimage on the ubuntu livecd?
[06:17] <scguy318> buibui: should be I think

[06:18] <snausage> is ubuntu bad on a laptop???
[06:18] <ToddEDM> hey guys, how do i install a game on Linux, that is for windows... is it WINE i use?
[06:18] <scguy318> ToddEDM: yes

[06:19] <ybt> u first howto use wine first
[06:19] <ToddEDM> do i open the exe with wine?
[06:19] <ybt> yup
[06:19] <buibui> hmmm... that link just shows me how to mount a share from my xp network, not the other way around
[06:19] <buibui> Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu comp to act like a xp comp in a workgroup
[06:20] <snausage> is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler?  semms to run hot and wont run off battery ??
[06:20] <scguy318> ToddEDM: yes
[06:20] <flash_> hi, im first here! im a programming and im studying english here.
[06:20] <bitbit> scguy318: does that help you?
[06:20] <ybt> ......
[06:20] <scguy318> bitbit: also paste /va/rlog/Xorg.0.log
[06:20] <crazy6> ...
[06:20] <scguy318> bitbit: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:21] <crazy6> oh hell, this thing decided to fo an fsck on my 300gb data drive... this is going to take forever
[06:21] <flash_> any youth who would like to chat with me?
[06:22] <snausage> is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler?  semms to run hot and wont run off battery ??
[06:22] <macksting> Second day on Linux. There's a long command I've been using to open a program with, like, parameters and stuff. I know I'll be doing this regularly. I hear tell of "scripts," or something akin. First off, am I hallucinating? Second off, how do I make one if, in fact, they are not akin to Ogopogo? :)
[06:22] <bitbit> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45756/   -- Xorg.0.log
[06:22] <scguy318> macksting: shortcut?
[06:23] <buibui> Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu comp to act like a xp comp in a workgroup
[06:23] <toresn> does anyone here happen to use MOC (music on console) ?
[06:23] <macksting> scguy: I dunno. I've been punching it into the terminal up until now; something I could click would be nice.
[06:23] <toresn> if so, how do you use iconv?
[06:23] <macksting> Like I said, second day.
[06:23] <snausage> is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler?  semms to run hot and wont run off battery ??
[06:24] <crazy6> macksting: you mean like for command line stuff? or just for starting programs?
[06:24] <scguy318> macksting: make a shortcut
[06:24] <scguy318> macksting: with the Terminal command as the, well, command
[06:24] <ablyss> macksting: i use .bashrc for long commands i use a lot.  just edit .bashrc and add an alias, e.g. alias long_command="<actual command here>". Then run the alias next time
[06:25] <macksting> Ablyss: That's a thought. I might do both.
[06:25] <macksting> scguy318: So do I kinda right-click somewhere?
[06:25] <ablyss> works great for long custom scripts
[06:25] <macksting> It's not that long a command, really, just a line or two. More than I want to regularly type.
[06:26] <scguy318> macksting: yeah
[06:26] <scguy318> macksting: the desktop, should have create launcher or shortcut
[06:26] <ma2> how here knows what is DRI ?
[06:26] <ToddEDM> wow, right on , COD is installing
[06:26] <ltemerpocsus> yeah... nothing changed..
[06:26] <ephemient> macksting: just put it into a text file with "#!/bin/sh" on the top, and "chmod +x" that file
[06:26] <ltemerpocsus> nothing scguy
[06:26] <ToddEDM> yes, the original
[06:26] <ablyss> yeah, if the command doesn't require a working directory then a shortcut launcher would be better
[06:26] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS>/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[06:26] <buibui> Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu comp to act like a xp comp in a workgroup
[06:26] <ltemerpocsus> i feel like an idiot
[06:27] <bitbit> scguy318: any idea how to fix this?
[06:27] <macksting> Hard to say, ablyss.
[06:27] <ltemerpocsus> and asking the right questions and getting the right help but i dont know
[06:27] <snausage> is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler?  semms to run hot and wont run off battery ??  anyone??
[06:27] <scguy318> bitbit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45757/
[06:27] <crazy6> snausage: maybe do a dmesg | less in a terminal and see if acpi is loading?
[06:27] <scguy318> bitbit: ive edited it
[06:27] <ltemerpocsus> scguy..
[06:27] <macksting> Eph: Okaydium. scguy318: For some reason, I couldn't find any text on the desktop referring to that, nor anything obvious in right-click or other menus.
[06:27] <scguy318> bitbit: try using that
[06:27] <scguy318> yes?
[06:27] <scguy318> ltemerpocsus: yes?
[06:28] <ablyss> macksting: for instance I have an alias that adds a shadow to all the jpegs in my current directory so it would be impossible to do that via a shortcut
[06:28] <snausage> crazy6   sorry i have no idea what that means
[06:28] <crazy6> snausage: and maybe try opening the systme monitor (depends what window manager you're using?) and see if your CPU is getting frequency scaled?
[06:28] <jacob> what is grep and find and how are they related?
[06:28] <ltemerpocsus> can you maybe just do it once
[06:28] <ltemerpocsus> for me
[06:28] <scguy318> jacob: grep applies a regex to its input
[06:28] <crazy6> snausage: oh, well, do you know how to open a terminal? there's a shortcut for it... somewhere
[06:28] <ltemerpocsus> remote desktop or whatver
[06:28] <scguy318> ltemerpocsus: sure I guess,
[06:28] <snausage> ya i know that
[06:28] <jacob> scguy318: i don't get that
[06:28] <scguy318> ltemerpocsus: you'll have to reg to PM me, and you need to port forward 5900 of course
[06:28] <snausage> just what would i type ( or paste in)
[06:29] <scguy318> jacob: what do you mean?
[06:29] <toresn> does anyone here happen to use MOC (music on console) ?
[06:29] <toresn> if so, how do you use iconv?
[06:29] <crazy6> snausage: (keep in mind this is only a shot in the dark, I don't know how to fix anything)  open a terminal, type in "dmesg | less"  (that character is a vertical, shift + \)
[06:29] <scguy318> jacob: from the man page:        grep, egrep, fgrep, rgrep - print lines matching a pattern
[06:29] <bullgard4> buibui: 'to act as' is a rather fuzzy word. Re-word your question so that it becomes more precise. You probably want to install and configure Samba.
[06:29] <buibui> i need xp comp to be able to grab files from my ubuntu desktop
[06:30] <ephemient> jacob: grep is a (text) filter, find recursively searches for files
[06:30] <snausage> is there something i should be looking for now?
[06:30] <buibui> i know it something to do with samba
[06:30] <scguy318> macksting: using GNOME?
[06:30] <scguy318> macksting: or Xfce?
[06:30] <crazy6> snausage: thats the debugging messages that your kernel spits out as it is starting up, as individal modules (drivers) load. look around for a line that says "ACPI" (caps or not). you can search by pressing '/', typing in "acpi" and hitting enter
[06:30] <buibui> i got it working before, so i could see my ubuntu comp from my windows comp
[06:30] <buibui> but i ve completely forgotten how
[06:30] <jacob> scguy318: ok, go on
[06:30]  * macksting isn't even quite sure what those are. Should he wiki, or is there some terminal command he can paste to find out?
[06:30] <scguy318> macksting: tell me what Ubuntu you're using :)
[06:30] <macksting> 7.04
[06:30] <ComPro> my fglrx driver doesn't work anymore. it's the one that came with gutsy.
[06:30] <scguy318> macksting: GNOME and Xfce are desktop managers
[06:31] <scguy318>        grep, egrep, fgrep, rgrep - print lines matching a pattern
[06:31] <scguy318> oops
[06:31] <jacob> then how is find and locate different from each other
[06:31] <ComPro> X will not start properly
[06:31] <macksting> Ubuntu 7.04, not particularly Kubuntu or anything s'far as I can tell.
[06:31] <bullgard4> buibui: Your wording still is not precise. So I cannot help you.
[06:31] <scguy318> jacob: find walks through the filesystem
[06:31] <crazy6> snausage: oh, the other easier thing is that you can open another terminal, and type "top" , it'll give you a live printout of what is loading up your system (look under CPU column)
[06:31] <scguy318> jacob: doing whatever is asked of it
[06:31] <scguy318> jacob: locate in contrast just searches an index
[06:31] <scguy318> jacob: generated by updatedb
[06:31] <ToddEDM> hey guys, im installing a game under WINE, and its asking for the second CD..... it wont let me eject it !!!
[06:31] <snausage>  ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [C0C0] enabled at IRQ 11

[06:32] <jacob> scguy318, ok that makes sense thx
[06:32] <ToddEDM> any solutions?
[06:32] <scguy318> ToddEDM: wine eject ...
[06:32] <ToddEDM> ?
[06:32] <scguy318> ToddEDM: wine eject thedriveletter
[06:32] <crazy6> snausage: eh, if it doesn't say there was an error, who knows. check "top"
[06:32] <scguy318> ToddEDM: thats a command to run
[06:32] <buibui> I dont know how else i can explain. I need to access files on my ubuntu comp from xp comp through network, so since i am using workgroups, i need my ubuntu comp to act as a xp comp and join the workgroup so i can access its files
[06:32] <scguy318> ToddEDM: the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive in Wine, if you don't know run winecfg and look at Drives tab
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: ok, I think I kinda left you in the dust there
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: if you right click on the Desktop
[06:33] <macksting> I'm afraid I'm easy to get dusty.
[06:33] <ComPro> i need some help please. i rebooted and now my fglrx driver will not work. x will not start properly if fglrx is specified in my xorg.conf file
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: you know, with the pretty background and all
[06:33] <crazy6> snausage: see if anything is sitting there using 50% or more of the CPU
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: there should be a choice called Create Launcher
[06:33] <scguy318> macksting: that's how you create a shortcut
[06:34] <bitbit> scguy318: still doesnt work
[06:34] <scguy318> macksting: affectionately known as .desktop files, just ordinary text files
[06:34] <scguy318> bitbit: same thing?
[06:34] <ToddEDM> thganks scguy318
[06:35] <snausage> acpi: looking for dsdt in initramfs... error , file /dsdt.aml not found.
[06:35] <macksting> scguy318: Ah! I'm starting to get the idea. Should I paste a copy of the command so's you can tell me how to fill in the blanks? It'd shed some light on the command process for me, too.
[06:35] <snausage> would that be the problem?
[06:35] <scguy318> macksting: sure
[06:35] <bitbit> scguy318: yeah, same thing. listen when I isntalled Ubuntu a few days ago it made the screen res look okay all by itself, can I make it do is again somehow?

[06:36] <CapaH> Hello all. I have a PCI NetGear RangeMax Wireless Wifi Adapter WPN311 --- Ubuntu sets up some restricted drivers, and when I iwconfig I can see two new interfaces: wifi0 and ath0 --- now, neither one "works" in that I cannot use either one to actually connect to a network. Using ath0 I can iwscan --- Can ANYONE help me on this?
[06:36] <scguy318> macksting: for the Name field, whatever you want
[06:36] <scguy318> macksting: the Command field what you just pasted for me
[06:36]  * macksting feels kinda silly now.
[06:36] <scguy318> macksting: Comment whatever you want, its just additional information
[06:36] <scguy318> macksting: for the tooltip
[06:36]  * macksting feels really silly now.
[06:36] <macksting> Thanks.
[06:38] <ComPro> please i need some help desperately. i rebooted and X will not start with fglrx set as my driver.
[06:38] <RandomOutburst> when i go into the terminal and type umount /dev/hd0, or any of my drives for that matter, it just says  not found. anyone know why?
[06:38] <Fezzler> how do I send a txt file or other out the ttyUSB0 in Ubuntu/Linux?  Is there a ProComm like terminal/modem program in Ubuntu?
[06:38] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:38] <magic_ninja> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/language-pack-en_1%3a7.10+20071120_all.deb: files list file for package `foo2zjs' is missing final newline
[06:39] <scguy318> Fezzler: cat txtfile > /dev/ttyUSB0
[06:39] <scguy318> Fezzler: probably doesn't work but random thought
[06:39] <ma2> how do i use this"$ git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel" ?
[06:39] <jbmigel> ComPro does X give you an error on startup?
[06:39] <scguy318> ma2: as it's written, without the prompt
[06:39] <RandomOutburst> ?
[06:39] <ma2> what is prompt
[06:39] <scguy318> ma2: the $
[06:39] <scguy318> ma2: you need to install Git before running that of course
[06:39] <ComPro> jbmigel: no it either loads to a black screen and i cant even switch to a terminal, or it will load with a low resolution and say that it couldnt properly detect my card
[06:40] <bitbit> scguy318: hey! it worked! thank you so much!
[06:40] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:40] <ma2> scguy318:how i do that ?
[06:40] <scguy318> bitbit: np
[06:40] <scguy318> ma2: sudo apt-get install git I think
[06:40] <buibui> I need to access files on my ubuntu comp from my seperate xp comp through network, so since i am using workgroups, i need my ubuntu comp to act as a xp comp and join the workgroup so i can access its files. Anyone know how??
[06:41] <jbmigel> ComPro you have set your driver = "fglrx" in your xorg.conf?
[06:41] <macksting> Curious. The command works fine in the terminal, but doesn't work in the shortcut.
[06:41] <macksting> I'm being asked to test something totally different right now. Be back in a few.
[06:41] <ComPro> jbmigel: yes. if i set it back to vesa, i can get in just fine, but then i cant set up dual head or use compiz or anything.
[06:41] <techII> ok, how do i change the codec that the snd-hda-intel module uses?  /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 gives me "Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054" while codec#3 gives me "Codec: Realtek ID 268"
[06:41] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:42] <techII> buibui, look at "samba", don't ask me about configuring it
[06:42] <jbmigel> ComPro did you compile your own fglrx or use a package?
[06:42] <scguy318> macksting: oh
[06:42] <ma2> scguy318:am i doing is right i found this link from intel for is chip
[06:42] <scguy318> macksting: when you come back
[06:42] <scguy318> ma2: I'm not sure that's a good solution
[06:43] <scguy318> macksting: I forgot to mention this
[06:43] <scguy318> macksting: prefix the ALEPHONE_DATA with env
[06:43] <ComPro> jbmigel: i went about it by enabling it in the restricted driver manager
[06:43] <magic_ninja> how do i ls a dir yet only show files with certain characters
[06:43] <magic_ninja> for instance only files starting with f
[06:43] <un1xxen> omg . i love the gutsy gibbon
[06:44] <mohkohn> virtualbox or xen for running winxp as a vm?
[06:44] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:44] <jbmigel> ComPro what ATI card do you have installed?
[06:44]  * un1xxen loves you all
[06:44] <scguy318> magic_ninja: ls /that/dir/f*
[06:44]  * un1xxen is uber happy
[06:44] <macksting> So env ALEPHONE?
[06:44] <scguy318> macksting: like
[06:44]  * un1xxen quits windows .. yay
[06:44] <ComPro> jbmigel: i went about it by enabling it in the restricted driverjbmigel: ATI Radeon x1650
[06:44] <ere4si> magic_ninja: try ls /dir | grep f
[06:45] <scguy318> macksting: env ALEPHONE_DATA="/usr/local/share/AlephOne/M1A1" alephone
[06:45] <scguy318> macksting: like that
[06:45] <magic_ninja> ere4si and scguy318 ty
[06:45] <buibui> everyone told me too "look at samba"
[06:45] <scguy318> macksting: the shortcut command is kinda different from what bash takes
[06:45] <buibui> I already have
[06:45] <buibui> anyway
[06:45] <techII> about my sound problem, "Caller ID" and "Off-hook" flags appear in alsamixer, along with a "Master" volume control, nothing else is there;  speakers work, but it seems like the mixer is dealing with a modem
[06:45] <buibui> think i've found simpler method
[06:45] <buibui> even has a youtube video
[06:45] <ere4si> buibui: look at nfs :)
[06:45] <techII> the master volume control seems to work with the speakers
[06:45] <ngupta> Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me.
[06:45] <macksting> scguy318: I'll try to bear that in mind. The shortcut works fine now!
[06:46] <macksting> I'll make sure to copy that formula for further shortcuts, until such time as I've dissected this thing enough to know how to do more with it.
[06:46] <macksting> Danke!
[06:46] <scguy318> macksting: np, there's probably docs for Freedesktop.org stuff
[06:47] <scguy318> macksting: that's a standard so to speak for Linux desktops
[06:47] <scguy318> macksting: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/
[06:47] <magic_ninja> now the next step
[06:47] <techII> ngupta, the "inhibit panel" applet, or look under System>Preferences>Power Management
[06:48] <techII> s/inhibit panel/inhibit applet
[06:48] <magic_ninja> my proc runs at 1.1ghz right now, but it used to run at 1.4, for some reason it crashes when i run it at 1.4 but i never had a problem before, will linux still boot like normal if i simply reset the proc in bios or will i need a new kernel
[06:48] <ComPro> does anyone know what would make the fglrx driver suddenly not work? i rebooted from a working configuration, no changes, and X failed to load again, no errors.
[06:48] <scguy318> magic_ninja: you wont need a new kernel
[06:49] <jbmigel> ComPro have you tried editing only the device section of xorg.conf to fglrx and dont screw with compiz?
[06:49] <ngupta> techII, I've tried that. In my power preferences, I have put to sleep when : never
[06:49] <techII> ngupta, then i have no idea
[06:49] <ngupta> ok, thanks.
[06:49] <ComPro> jbmigel: yes, i've backed up my xorg.conf and started from scratch. the only thing changed right now from defaults is telling it that it's fglrx
[06:49] <magic_ninja> now
[06:50] <ma2> scguy318:the thing is i dont know if am doing it right
[06:50] <magic_ninja> my next question
[06:50] <magic_ninja> what are some probable things that would cause my cpu to overheat
[06:50] <scguy318> ma2: I'm not sure what you're trying to do is a good idea
[06:50] <scguy318> magic_ninja: inadequate cooling ;)
[06:50] <magic_ninja> i'm fairly certain its running cool enough, the only crashes i get are when running cs for more then an hour
[06:50] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS>/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[06:50] <ma2> scguy318:am trying to fix dri and enable 3D on my graphic card
[06:50] <scguy318> bullgard4: perhaps linux-headers-<IP_ADDRESS> isn't installed
[06:51] <magic_ninja> scguy318: it always ran fine before after i replaced the cpu fan
[06:51] <jbmigel> ComPro can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log?
[06:51] <magic_ninja> scguy318: rusty on hardware i havn't done much of it for a few years, but i'm about to build a new comp so i need to brush up on it >.<
[06:51] <bitbit> another problem: my screen is connected to the motherboard, when I try to connect it to my graphics card the screen goes into "power saving mode"
[06:51] <kryptik_> anyone here know of a channel on cracking vb progs?
[06:51] <toresn> i need some help with mplayer
[06:51] <scguy318> kryptik_: cracking like?
[06:52] <scguy318> magic_ninja: hmm I'm no hardware expert myself
[06:52] <magic_ninja> bitbit: your graphics card isn't being detected
[06:52] <scguy318> magic_ninja: I'm still running stuff from like 2000 :P
[06:52] <ComPro> jbmigel: where is said file, and what is pastebin?
[06:52] <magic_ninja> same
[06:52] <magic_ninja> xp 1700+
[06:52] <Link> i have a question about WUBI
[06:52] <magic_ninja> athalon that is
[06:52] <bitbit> magic_ninja: what should I do?
[06:52] <kryptik_> like debugging, disassemly
[06:52] <magic_ninja> bitbit: check your bios and make sure that your graphics card on the mobo is disabled and the one in agp or pci is enabled first off
[06:52] <toresn> i need some help with mplayer... when i switched to an external monitor from the one on my laptop, mplayer suddenly stop working... i can only run it with mplayer -vo x11 <filename>  now
[06:53] <kryptik_> like they do with softice and smartcheck... only oldschool ways
[06:53] <scguy318> kryptik_: well, dunno if theres a channel specifically for VB, since a VB app is just a program that totally depends on msvbvm60.dll
[06:53] <toresn> and then it wont be fullscreen
[06:53] <scguy318> kryptik_: but im sure theres a channel for reverse engineering
[06:53] <jbmigel> ComPro the file is /var/log/Xorg.0.log and pastebin.ca is a website that lets you paste stuff and let other people see it... go there and paste the file contents, then share the link
[06:53] <bullgard4> scguy318: linux-headers-2.6.22-14 is installed. I have checked that.
[06:53] <ere4si> I just installed the fluxbuntu rc and can't get past the login window - there's no way for me to type name and password - no cursor...
[06:53] <ComPro> jbmigel: i cannot pastebin as i cannot get to a gui
[06:53] <scguy318> bullgard4: hmm dunno
[06:53] <magic_ninja> bitbit: its like having two soundcards, one on mobo and one in pci, you have to enable the pci one in bios
[06:53] <kryptik_> do you think it would be possible to crack a windows vb program under linux without the use of wine or the like
[06:53] <bitbit> magic_ninja: k, brb
[06:54] <tntCry> please any experts in networking and ports?
[06:54] <crazy6> I wish my sound worked
[06:54] <scguy318> kryptik_: sure, disassemble then anaylze
[06:54] <jbmigel> ComPro use the vesa or ATI driver... or refer to the log file and find the error yourself
[06:54] <magic_ninja> tntCry: state the problem
[06:54] <bullgard4> scguy318: Ok. Enjoy Ubuntu!
[06:54] <tntCry> crazy6, pc or laptop?
[06:54] <scguy318> kryptik_: *analyze
[06:54] <Pir8> Guys, is there a way to set two different wallpapers on dual monitor setup ?
[06:54] <kryptik_> ok ty
[06:54] <scguy318> bullgard4: wish I knew more
[06:54] <scguy318> kryptik_: if you're looking for help in reverse engineering I wish I knew :P
[06:55] <tntCry> magic_ninja, at the university many things is blocked forexample i cant connect in IRC , but i can surf the web .. only . any help for routing like httptunnel in windows
[06:55] <Fezzler> Getting error: "Couldn't open /dev/ttyd0 - check permissions"  How do I do that?
[06:55] <emja> damn openoffice takes tenb minutes to start
[06:55] <kryptik_> yeah... im doing this mod-x thing
[06:55] <scguy318> Fezzler: ls -l /dev/ttyd0
[06:55] <RandomOutburst> how do you unmount a hdd?
[06:55] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: graphically or wut?
[06:55] <buzzsaw> its been a while sicne i used linux and i am a bit confused i just did a ./configure and it is telling me that i must have the png library installed
[06:55] <kryptik_> i cracked it before in windows... just that wine isnt handling properly
[06:55] <tntCry> emja, takes less then 4seconds for a p4 1.7 ghz 256ram and 16mb on board GFX
[06:55] <toresn> i need some help with mplayer... when i switched to an external monitor from the one on my laptop, mplayer suddenly stop working... i can only run it with mplayer -vo x11 <filename>  now
[06:55] <toresn> and then it wont be fullscreen
[06:56] <emja> tntCry: 1GHz, 256Mb RAM
[06:56] <RandomOutburst> umm i dont know i guess, or with the shell
[06:56] <scguy318> kryptik_: read up on winedbg or VM :P
[06:56] <kryptik_> the forum suggested vmware.... but have no idea about it
[06:56] <Fezzler> What does this mean? "crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 224 2007-11-25 00:48 /dev/ttyd0"
[06:56] <kryptik_> and you do aswell
[06:56] <tntCry> emja, maybe you have a dead ram
[06:56] <magic_ninja> tntCry: use a proxy server with an okay port to connect to irc
[06:56] <emja> tntCry: something very wrong here. fresh ubuntu install, no openoffice settings in /home/user
[06:56] <scguy318> buzzsaw: sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev
[06:57] <RandomOutburst> how would i unmount it?
[06:57] <emja> tntCry: good point. I will run memtest
[06:57] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: in Nautilus right click, Unmount
[06:57] <emja> thx
[06:57] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: CLI sudo umount /the/mnt/point
[06:57] <tntCry> anybody else know how to bypass university ports , coz i cant connect with IRC , and i cant start pidgins . however with xp i can run msn messenger in the uni
[06:57] <RandomOutburst> i need to format a partition and qtparted wont let me until its unmounted
[06:57] <pakratt> you still around cryonv?
[06:58] <tntCry> emja, it can be even because u have compiz enabled and many other app's
[06:58] <RandomOutburst> im using backtrack 2 btw
[06:58] <scguy318> tntCry: SSH out?
[06:58] <emja> tntCry: no compiz. possible other apps from medibuntu repo
[06:58] <scguy318> tntCry: or Tor
[06:58] <RandomOutburst> but it should more or less be the same as ubuntu yes?
[06:58] <buzzsaw> so with ubuntu is my user root?
[06:58] <tntCry> scguy318, what do you mean?
[06:58] <buzzsaw> is that why i need to sudo?
[06:58] <bullgard1> RandomOutburst: This is a security measure. Thank God that this security measure is built in.
[06:58] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: yeah
[06:58] <emja> buzzsaw: no. sudo is because you're not root
[06:58] <Reng> hey is screenlets.org down for you guys? i can seem to get to their site
[06:58] <RandomOutburst> when i try umount /dev /hd1 it just says not found
[06:59] <buzzsaw> well it asks me for MY password
[06:59] <tntCry> scguy318, with windows i can use msn messenger , but with ubuntu i cant login msn with pidgins however i can do surfing exactly like windows
[06:59] <scguy318> buzzsaw: yeah to elevate privileges to root, since your account is in /etc/sudoers
[06:59] <emja> buzzsaw: yes, because you're authorised to run things as root with sudo
[06:59] <buzzsaw> ok :-)
[06:59] <magic_ninja> tntCry: set your protocol
[06:59] <tntCry> huh
[07:00] <RandomOutburst> what would be wrong?
[07:00] <buzzsaw> its been a few years but if i remember correctley to install a tarball after i unzip it i   ./configure make make install  ?
[07:00] <Reng> can you guy check if this site www.screenlets.org work?
[07:00] <scguy318> buzzsaw: yep, though one small tweak for the last thing
[07:00] <scguy318> buzzsaw: sudo make install, since make will write to directories owned by root
[07:00] <peterbilt> RandomOutburst - lose the space
[07:01] <scguy318> Reng: ditto her
[07:01] <tntCry> any app that can by pass uni ports in ubuntu :( comon its linux..
[07:01] <buzzsaw> ok so then   ./configure make    sudo make install
[07:01] <RandomOutburst> so umount/dev/hd1 ?
[07:01] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: umount /dev/hdd1
[07:01] <emja> RandomOutburst: umount  /dev/hd1
[07:01] <emja> snap
[07:01] <scguy318> RandomOutburst: I don't think it's hd1 :P
[07:01] <emja> yeah, that too. ;-)
[07:02] <RandomOutburst> why not scguy318?
[07:02] <kryptik_> this winedbg thing might just work.... is the a way to set BP
[07:02] <kryptik_> or would i need to dissasmeble first or something
[07:02] <RandomOutburst> ok....
[07:02] <RandomOutburst> im a freakin idiot
[07:02] <RandomOutburst> hda
[07:02] <peterbilt> RandomOutburst - it should be /dev/hdd  or /dev/sda  more likely
[07:02] <scguy318> kryptik_: its supposed to be modeled after gdb or something, I'm clueless at that so
[07:03] <tntCry> guys any app that can by pass university ports which stops people from doing things forexample slow loading on youtube vids , pidgin cant connect ,. but msn messenger* ( windows ) can..
[07:03] <emja> RandomOutburst: welcome to the club
[07:03] <RandomOutburst> haha
[07:03]  * emja grins
[07:03] <RandomOutburst> thanks
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: SSH out to your home machine, use Tor
[07:03] <kryptik_> ok... ty for the advice though
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: though TOr is slow
[07:03] <peterbilt> RandomOutburst - it should be /dev/hdb for example
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: or find a SOCKS or HTTP proxy
[07:03] <tntCry> scguy318, what is ssh :?
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: Secure Shell
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: one of its features is TCP forwarding
[07:03] <tntCry> how do we do that scguy318
[07:03] <scguy318> tntCry: you'll need another machine to run sshd
[07:03] <Fezzler> crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 224 2007-11-25 00:48 /dev/ttyd0 ????

[07:06] <scguy318> tntCry: hmm
[07:07] <Fezzler> Is ttyd0 a com port while I'm trying to open ttyUSB0.  Is that the problem?
[07:07] <neil_d> hi, I am trying to create a 'static' executable when using gcc normally my program compiles and links, when I add the '-static' keyword to the gcc link cycle, I get lots of error messages like "undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'" how do I fix this ?
[07:07] <scguy318> Fezzler: change ttyd0 to ttyUSB0 or w/e
[07:07] <scguy318> Fezzler: in the command I mentioned
[07:07] <tntCry> you think ssh home can work>
[07:07] <crazy6> mohkohn: everything is turned up...
[07:07] <scguy318> tntCry: sure
[07:07] <scguy318> tntCry: the home machine needs to run sshd
[07:08] <tntCry> how do i connec to it? because i cant even connect with IRC in theyr
[07:08] <sohi> if i install some software in add/remove application ....  is my memory low speed?
[07:08] <mohkohn> ok crazy6 I am just trying the obvious. It happened to me once.
[07:08] <scguy318> tntCry: use an SSH client, have the sshd listen on port 80 or 443
[07:08] <Radi01> How do I get root privileges for firestarter.
[07:08] <scguy318> tntCry: connect to the sshd through those ports
[07:08] <Fezzler> I'm running a ./teeny-linux program that copies a BASIC file from the com port to the RS232 on my other computer
[07:08] <tntCry> will it load youtube quicker>?
[07:08] <scguy318> Radi01: why do you need that? its just a frontend
[07:09] <crazy6> mohkohn: yeah... hrm.. it's plugged in, speakers work (verified with PSP), I trying muting & unmuting everything that has that option
[07:09] <crazy6> wah wah
[07:09] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS>/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[07:09] <scguy318> tntCry: hopefully sure
[07:09] <tntCry> download speed is down to 15 kb
[07:09] <Fezzler> But I'm using a USB-to-Serial cable ttyUSB0
[07:09] <tntCry> its weird in this university
[07:09] <tntCry> they have technology up the A$$
[07:09] <scguy318> Fezzler: sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0
[07:09] <scguy318> tntCry: then after you connect in through SSH
[07:09] <scguy318> tntCry: add a dynamic port forward, thats your local SOCKS proxy
[07:09] <scguy318> tntCry: then point programs to that forward
[07:09] <scguy318> !ssh | tntCry
[07:09] <ubotu> tntCry: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[07:09] <scguy318> and I'm tired
[07:10] <scguy318> so I don't feel like talking more :(
[07:10] <Fezzler> I think the problem is the ./teeny-linux is trying to open a com port (ttyd0) while the cable is on ttyUSB0??
[07:10] <mohkohn> If it gets beyond the obvious I am not much help to you. There is a sound troubleshooting doc in the wiki
[07:10] <Radi01> !firestarter
[07:10] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[07:10] <tntCry> but i hope you could explain it to me quicker scguy318
[07:10] <scguy318> Fezzler: symlink it
[07:10] <tntCry> i add dynamic port on my ssh client to my ssh dedicated server?
[07:10] <scguy318> tntCry: yep
[07:10] <scguy318> tntCry: then point programs to that dynamic port
[07:11] <scguy318> and ubotu's tidbit is a slight lie, PuTTY works on Linux too
[07:11] <tntCry> sio i must go to my pidgin se  t tings and change it ?
[07:11] <Fezzler> symlink?
[07:11] <tntCry> to my Ssh setting?
[07:11] <scguy318> Fezzler: yeah, like
[07:11] <toresn> hmm, i would like to have my xorg.conf cleaned up a bit... i've run the "Screens and graphics" tool a few times... can anyone help with this?
[07:11] <tntCry> you mean all the app's > settings of my ssh and my ssh > to my dedicated SSH ?
[07:11] <Fezzler> can I get ttyd0 re-mapped to ttyUSB0 temporarily?
[07:12] <tntCry> i hope it works
[07:12] <scguy318> Fezzler: yeah, through a symlink, you would do like
[07:12] <Fezzler> so the ./teeny program think ttyUSB is ttyd0?
[07:12] <scguy318> Fezzler: ln -s /dev/ttyd0 /dev/ttyUSB0
[07:12] <scguy318> Fezzler: like that
[07:12] <demon_spork> someone say my name please
[07:12] <neil_d> hi, I am trying to create a 'static' executable when using gcc normally my program compiles and links, when I add the '-static' keyword to the gcc link cycle, I get lots of error messages like "undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'" how do I fix this ?
[07:12] <scguy318> tntCry: yeah
[07:13] <CapaH> Is there anyone here who knows how to get a Netgear PCI Wireless card to work? WPN311 --- Ubuntu "out of the box" sees the hardware, but I cannot connect to my access point. My access point is a linksys wireless router --- can anyone help me?
[07:13] <neil_d> demon_spork,
[07:13] <scguy318> tntCry: I'm too tired to speak more
[07:13] <scguy318> CapaH: what chipset? I guess you're my last question before bedtime
[07:13] <tntCry> you need a hot tea on the balcony with a cig
[07:13] <scguy318> tntCry: no cigs for me that would be illegal :P
[07:14] <RandomOutburst> black tea i would recommend
[07:14] <jscinoz> Ubuntu is completely hanging (ie. sysrq or ctrl-alt-bksp do nothing) whenever i open multiple programs without waiting between opening each, what causes this and how can i fix it?
[07:14] <tntCry> illegal scguy318 ? how old are you
[07:14] <Fezzler> ln: creating symbolic link `/dev/ttyUSB0' to `/dev/ttyd0': File exists ??
[07:14] <scguy318> tntCry: like 15
[07:14] <Fezzler> still no go
[07:14] <tntCry> damn !!!
[07:14] <scguy318> Fezzler: sudo rm /dev/ttyd0
[07:14] <tntCry> im impressed scguy318
[07:15] <buzzsaw> um one last question how do i change my resalution?
[07:15] <scguy318> Fezzler: and I think I got the ln backwards
[07:15] <Fezzler> still getting I don't have permission for ttyd0
[07:15] <jscinoz> fezzler, try sudo su first, then rm /dev/ttyd0
[07:15] <tntCry> you could be a great hacker if you stick with linux
[07:15] <neil_d> buzzsaw, in 7.10 from the System->Preferences->Screen Resolution
[07:15] <scguy318> Fezzler: then do like
[07:15] <magic_ninja> is agp backwards compatible, i wanna upgrade my card, but all the new agp cards are 8x and my mobo is 4x
[07:16] <scguy318> Fezzler: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyd0 or w/e it was
[07:16] <RandomOutburst> just upgrade your mobo magic_ninja
[07:16] <magic_ninja> RandomOutburst: no reason too, i'm building a new computer in a few months, i just want to spend a couple hundred upgrading this one
[07:16] <RandomOutburst> spend about $110 and get a new mobo and vid card
[07:16] <RandomOutburst> ahh
[07:16] <scguy318> CapaH: ?
[07:17] <Fezzler> rm: cannot remove `/dev/ttyd0': No such file or directory
[07:17] <scguy318> CapaH: um, if you dont know what chipset
[07:17] <scguy318> Fezzler: my mistake, that should be
[07:17] <foureyes779> Fezzler: try ttyD0
[07:17] <tntCry> scguy318, i hope you all the best in the future , dont lose this opportunity and have some juice , i recommend Coconut juice with milkshake , or banana shake , they have magnisium and vitamines b1 b2 b6 and this gives the best relaxing aroma ,.. more better then nicotine feel
[07:17] <toresn> hmm, i would like to have my xorg.conf cleaned up a bit... i've run the "Screens and graphics" tool a few times... can anyone help with this?
[07:17] <Fezzler> scguy: I'm nervous being in root
[07:17] <scguy318> tntCry: lol thanks :)
[07:18] <Fezzler> sudo su put me in root
[07:18] <scguy318> Fezzler: I know
[07:18] <Fezzler> can I, should I get out of root now
[07:18] <dinop007> hi someone know how to delete dead links from applications?
[07:18] <scguy318> Fezzler: if you want, though we're not done yet
[07:18] <Fezzler> ok, now what
[07:18] <scguy318> Fezzler: rm /dev/ttyd0 no work? i have that device on my ting
[07:18] <scguy318> Fezzler: lemme go read the udev docs
[07:19] <Fezzler> rm: cannot remove `/dev/ttyd0': No such file or directory
[07:19] <dinop007> hi someone know how to delete dead links from applications?
[07:19] <RandomOutburst> dinop007: what do you mean?
[07:19] <buzzsaw> hum seems that it is auto refreshing when i change my vm screen size

[07:20] <Fezzler> rm: cannot remove `/dev/ttyd0': No such file or directory
[07:20] <scguy318> Fezzler: i meant like the original one
[07:20] <brainfault> hi all
[07:20] <Fezzler> Couldn't open /dev/ttyd0 - check permissions
[07:21] <Reng> RandomOutburst, my desktop res. is 3360x1050
[07:21] <scguy318> Fezzler: ok, just do
[07:21] <dinop007> i deleted program with synaptic but the short cut still exist and i want to delet him
[07:21] <brainfault> is there any way to install ubuntu on a ultrasparc III i
[07:21] <scguy318> Fezzler: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyd0
[07:21] <scguy318> !sparc | brainfault
[07:21] <ubotu> brainfault: Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.
[07:21] <toresn> hmm, i would like to have my xorg.conf cleaned up a bit... i've run the "Screens and graphics" tool a few times... can anyone help with this?  i'm running an external screen with my laptop whose screen is disabled when external monitor is connected
[07:21] <brainfault> there's a server for UltraSparc T1 architecture !
[07:22] <crazy6> man,I am going to have to reinstall gentoo just to get sound back, that's rough
[07:22] <dinop007> i deleted program with synaptic but the short cut still exist and i want to delete the dead short cut
[07:22] <scguy318> Fezzler: then go ahead and exit the root shell
[07:22] <graelin> REng: Do you have the NVidia new restricted driver installed?
[07:22] <RandomOutburst> dino007 click on it and hit delete?
[07:23] <brainfault> ubotu: thanks going to check
[07:23] <Reng> grarlin, yup i have direct rendering
[07:23] <neil_d> dinop007, so use the right-mouse button and delete it, or move to trash and empty it.
[07:23] <scguy318> !bot | brainfault

[07:25] <neil_d> dinop007, you don't have a right mouse button ?
[07:25] <Radi01> How do I get root privileges for firestarter.
[07:25] <graelin> dinop007: Then drag it to trash (lower right)
[07:25] <rhs> Radi01: sudo firestarter
[07:25] <Radi01> k thanks
[07:25] <neil_d> Radi01, you can get a root terminal by using 'sudo su -' and enter password.

[07:27] <bmt4> what happened ?
[07:28] <dinop007> still dont work btw i use 64 bit linux
[07:28] <|thunder> bmt2; lamp is just linux, apache, mysql, and php.
[07:28] <Fezzler> scguy: That did it!
[07:28] <graelin> thunder: Thats Listen
[07:28] <bmt4> i was asking a question all of a sudden i was looking at a blank terminal
[07:28] <CaptainMorgan> get these spammers and filth out of this channel
[07:28] <Fezzler> Awesome
[07:28] <|thunder> graelin; thanks. wasnt sure
[07:28] <ActySofts> hello
[07:28] <bmt4> |thunder: but how do you set it up..how do you comfirm that you have it set up ?
[07:29] <dinop007> i cant drug it to the trash it is on the applications up in the tools bar
[07:29] <ActySofts> can anybody help me turn off the system beep in xubuntu? (on #xubuntu nobody answers)
[07:29] <bmt4> also does anyone know the difference in regards to LAMP "deployment" vs "development"
[07:29] <CaptainMorgan> thank you ompaul
[07:29] <Fezzler> scguy: Do I need to reset anything regarding ttyd0 or ttyUSB0?
[07:29] <ComPro> can anyone explain what would make the fglrx driver not function at all after a simple reboot?
[07:29] <|thunder> ActySofts; i only know in gnome, its in prefs/sound
[07:29] <mohkohn> #xubuntu
[07:30] <mohkohn> oops
[07:30] <RandomOutburst> ComPro: satan
[07:30] <graelin> dinop007: Try reinstalling using synaptic then uninstalling it using the remove completely option
[07:30] <CapaH> I have a NETGEAR PCI Wireless card, and it wont work. Ubuntu says it recognizes/sees the hardware -- restricted driver "In use" and "Enabled" --- but I cannot connect to my network! Can anyone here, please, help? I have been trying to figure this out for three days.
[07:30] <RandomOutburst> no not really, sorry, i have no idea
[07:30] <ComPro> haha very funny
[07:30] <ComPro> lol
[07:30] <raz0r> it's all a barrel of monkies
[07:30] <crazy6> I can't seem to read data from my data drive (ext3); do I need to add a umask of some kind to fstab or is there a more kosher way of doing it?
[07:30] <raz0r> i just like to pick the ones that don't talk until they have to say something useful
[07:30] <ompaul> ComPro, you got a new kernel?
[07:30] <CapaH> I type: iwconfig ath0 essid linksys3  -- then I type iwconfig and it shows ESSID: linksys3 but it says: "Not-Associated" also, I do not know how to fix this
[07:31] <scguy318> CapaH: use ndiswrapper
[07:31] <ComPro> no. im running the latest ubuntu - gutsy
[07:31] <whereswaldo> hey everyone! Im having a bit of a sound problem, its really quiet and static-y. I read about an Intel soundcard related problem, but I dont think mine is one
[07:31] <scguy318> CapaH: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[07:31] <Fezzler> scguy: Do I need to reset anything regarding ttyd0 or ttyUSB0?
[07:31] <scguy318> Fezzler: reset? dont think so
[07:31] <bmt4> CapaH: i have integrated wireless on my laptop, and i had no problem...did you check on : system > administration > network ?
[07:31] <ompaul> ComPro, well the other option is that it did not work before - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do that in a terminal and see what you get back
[07:31] <Fezzler> meaning undo some of our synklinks?
[07:31] <|thunder> crazy6; see if you can read from it if mounting it manually. umount /dev/hda1 then mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /media/dataorwhatever
[07:31] <mohkohn> is there anywhere to get a precompiled 2.6.23 kernel?
[07:32] <Radi01> I have firestarter installed..but it keeps asking for root privileges to start it.
[07:32] <mohkohn> prepackaged I mean.
[07:32] <Fezzler> okay, do I need to do anything to get out of root in Terminal or just close it?
[07:32] <ompaul> !rootsudo | Radi01
[07:32] <ubotu> Radi01: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:32] <cdm10> Does anyone here use Ekiga?
[07:32] <Radi01> k
[07:32] <graelin> cdm10: I have it installed and enabled, but never actually used it
[07:33] <ComPro> ompaul: i've run the reconfigure before. i reset it all back to defaults. when i first installed, it defaulted to vesa. it told me to install the restricted drivers. i did so. that worked fine. now today i reboot and i can work with vesa, but not fglrx anymore.
[07:33] <cdm10> graelin: and, it worked?
[07:33] <cdm10> graelin: like, you could log into your ekiga account and make a test call?
[07:33] <crazy6> |thunder: oh, actually, it's some freak file that has minimal permissions set on it... whoops!
[07:34] <scguy318> Fezzler: just exit
[07:34] <neil_d> hi, I am trying to create a 'static' executable when using gcc normally my program compiles and links, when I add the '-static' keyword to the gcc link cycle, I get lots of error messages like "undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'" how do I fix this ?
[07:34] <Fezzler> great.  thanks so much
[07:34] <ompaul> ComPro, and you tried the "restricted driver manager" again today - if it works you did install updates and they got in the way of whatever
[07:35] <ompaul> neil_d, ask in #gcc
[07:35] <scguy318> Fezzler: and you have nothing else to do, thats the only symlink we made anyway
[07:35] <|thunder> crazy6; :) chmod 755 ./file
[07:35] <Fezzler> Now I have my old Tandy Model 102 exchanging files with Ubuntu over a USB-to-Serial connection.  Awesome
[07:35] <neil_d> ompaul, ok
[07:35] <ComPro> ompaul: yes, i have. and it doesn't work.
[07:35] <Gatestone> I use repo.freecreations.info but I don't find the signing key?
[07:35] <ompaul> ComPro, so I guess you updated something that does not like it
[07:35] <rhs> Fezzler: what's the use of this ?
[07:35] <CapaH> scguy318: Hey thanks for your help. Before I use ndiswrapper do I somehow have to disable Ubuntu's built in drivers for this? If so, how do I do so
[07:36] <ComPro> ompaul: i touched nothing.
[07:36] <ompaul> Gatestone, ask the people who maintain that repo for instructions we don't support non ubuntu repos
[07:36] <Naisenu> What is the smallest size Ubuntu can take up on a drive?
[07:36] <Gatestone> ...and that's why update manager complains. It is not really tell what repo is the problem, so the warning is kind of scary...
[07:37] <scguy318> CapaH: you will do that in the course of following the guide
[07:37] <Fezzler> rhs: Tandy Model 102 only has 32k ram, so Ubuntu acts as huge storage device via the RS232 port
[07:37] <scguy318> Naisenu: minimum is like 2 GB, not really that usable
[07:37] <scguy318> Naisenu: 2.5 GB
[07:37] <scguy318> Naisenu: thats for the OS and packages
[07:37] <Naisenu> What is the smallest port of Ubuntu in any of it's related flavours?
[07:37] <scguy318> Gatestone: the warning can be ignored
[07:37] <rhs> Fezzler: so much fun it seems ;)
[07:37] <Gatestone> ompaul: The update manager should anyway be fixed. It should tell, which repo is the problem, and allow me to install only those upgrades trhat are signerd
[07:38] <scguy318> Gatestone: it's a good idea to ask the repo maintainer for a key
[07:38] <CapaH> scguy318: Ok great, I will do that now thanks for your help -- hope it works
[07:38] <ompaul> Gatestone, no it has to be flexable and your world view is broken cos sometimes packages are made without gpg keys
[07:38] <Gatestone> I was just wandering if I could fix it right noe
[07:38] <Fezzler> rhs: yes, I enjoy retro computing as well as learning linux via Ubuntu.  I like making older technology useful today
[07:39] <bmt4> i just tried to upgrade to 7.10 and got this message : Failed to fetch http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
[07:39] <bmt4> can anyone help ?
[07:39] <scguy318> bmt4: remove that repo from your sources.list
[07:39] <scguy318> or
[07:39] <Gatestone> ompaul: basic desing criteria is always: be flexible in your input requirements, be conservative in your output specs..

[07:40] <scguy318> wers: so much lighter
[07:40] <Naisenu> One other question, are there any guides for "how to share a drive?"
[07:40] <wers> other than that scguy318 :D
[07:40] <scguy318> wers: it might actually conform to the look and feel of your desktop
[07:40] <scguy318> wers: you know, themes and all
[07:40] <scguy318> wers: OO doesn't
[07:41] <wers> yeah. that's the reason why it's what I'm using right now. hehehe
[07:41] <rhs> Naisenu: sharing with windows or linux ?
[07:41] <ompaul> Gatestone, I don't agree with you that the program is at fault - if the repo builder had put in keys no worries would be had they did not - you need information and if you still feel that is a bug go to launchpad.net and report it as such
[07:41] <wers> I just want to know what to expect with Abiword
[07:41] <bmt4> the sources.list is located ?
[07:41] <Naisenu> rhs: Linux.
[07:41] <r4d10h4x> reason 4. anyone?

[07:42] <wers> I mean, I want to know the features that Abiword has that oowriter doesn't and vice versa
[07:42] <bmt4> r4d10h4x: are you talking about the studio software ?
[07:42] <bmt4> neil_d: thanks
[07:42] <r4d10h4x> bmt4 yes
[07:42] <Naisenu> Thanks. Considering I didn't know the terms to look for, I wasn't finding anything of use :)
[07:43] <bmt4> r4d10h4x:what OS are you using ?
[07:43] <r4d10h4x> 7.10 64bit
[07:43] <cdm10> Does anyone know what I can do to fix this error message from ekiga?: Registration Failed: Forbidden
[07:43] <bmt4> r4d10h4x: damn didn't know they made reason for linux...interesting
[07:43] <bmt4> that new to me
[07:43] <r4d10h4x> cdm10: change ip
[07:43] <bmt4> then again i have not used reason in a while
[07:44] <r4d10h4x> it runs through wine and when i use keygen it says key is wrong format
[07:44] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: which IP?-
[07:45] <r4d10h4x> cdm10: the one u connect with
[07:45] <bmt4> r4d10h4x: is keygen a .exe file ?
[07:45] <r4d10h4x> yes
[07:45] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: I can't change my IP.
[07:45] <whereswaldo> So, hey my sound is really quiet and static-y, I read about a problem with Intel sound chipsets but lspci | grep audio -i gives me ¨nvidia¨
[07:45] <kpxantal> hi all, any openoffice expert onboard?
[07:45] <r4d10h4x> cdm10: call ur isp
[07:45] <r4d10h4x> lol
[07:46] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: Is that supposed to be funny? My IP has nothing to do with whether I can connect or not...
[07:46] <r4d10h4x> try reinstall
[07:46] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: i've gotten this error across 4 different Ubuntu releases, reinstalling won't help.
[07:47] <r4d10h4x> cdm10: i cant help you
[07:47] <scguy318> cdm10: might be something with the SIP
[07:47] <bmt4> can anyone give me that url to (re)generate the sources.list ?
[07:47] <scguy318> !source-o-matic | bmt4
[07:47] <ubotu> bmt4: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:47] <cdm10> r4d10h4x: well, at least you admit it.
[07:47] <r4d10h4x> :)
[07:47] <bmt4> ubotu: thanks
[07:47] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[07:48] <cdm10> scguy318: ISP, or SIP? Both have the same letters, and both have something to do with what I'm trying to do :)
[07:48] <scguy318> cdm10: SIP
[07:48] <scguy318> cdm10: probably something up with your SIP, I can't elaborate further unfortunately
[07:48] <cdm10> scguy318: I don't have a SIP... I have a SIP client, and a SIP account... but no SIP.
[07:49] <rhs> scguy318: is there a list of commands to help others  somewhere ?
[07:49] <cdm10> I'm not sure what you mean by a SIP.

[07:50] <bmt4> i just generated a new souces.list..i assume i am replacing the exact same sources.list file that located in the etc/apt area ?
[07:50] <cdm10> bmt4: yep, but I'd back up the old one first
[07:50] <cdm10> Ah, fixed it
[07:50] <cdm10> I changed my password... some guy in the forums said that changing the password helped, and it did.
[07:53] <Radi01> ompaul: i am using kubuntu/I have firestarter installed/When i start firestarter it keeps telling me (wrong) pass word.
[07:53] <malnilion> I'm running with customized Desktop Effects and every time I log in my windows are skinned by default with emerald.  I can remedy this with running gtk-window-manager --replace, but I want a better solution.  Is there some configuration option somewhere to change it to start with gtk skinned windows in the first place?
[07:53] <ompaul> Radi01, your password - try that - if not I don't know how you set it up
[07:53] <ompaul> !firestarter | Radi01
[07:53] <ubotu> Radi01: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[07:54] <Radi01> It tells me I dont have root privys..and Ive done everything..oi.
[07:54] <neil_d> hi, I am trying to create a 'static' (.so files) executable when using gcc normally my program compiles and links, when I add the '-static' keyword to the gcc link cycle, I get lots of error messages like "undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'" how do I fix this ?
[07:55] <rhs> Radi01: what have you done ?
[07:55] <Radi01> su/gksudo/sudo -i  U name it
[07:55] <ompaul> Radi01, how did you install it?
[07:56] <Radi01> add remove
[07:57] <Radi01> I have used Ubuntu and had no problems/Now I am trying Kubuntu it acts funky
[07:58] <ompaul> Radi01, use guarddog in its place
[07:58] <Radi01> Is it comparable?
[07:59] <rhs> Radi01: have you tried doing something that needs root privilege, like changing fstab ?
[07:59] <Radi01> no
[07:59] <kwtm> How do I know which file contains a font that I am interested in, such as "Sans Serif"?  (Not "Lucida San Serif" or "Bitstream Vera Sans", but just "Sans Serif".)  No file matches that exact name under /usr/share/fonts/truetype.
[07:59] <rhs> Radi01: see if you can do it
[08:00] <emja> tntCry: thx for your advice earlier. the openoffice problem ended up being rpc.statd not starting on the server.
[08:00] <Radi01> when i got root i  tried to start firestarter  and it says it needed a make install-
[08:01] <rhs> Radi01: how did you install it ?
[08:01] <ompaul> Radi01, you have not installed it correctly you are trying to compile it -- this is a package based distro you don't have to install from source. Do this: sudo apt-get install firestarter
[08:02] <Arelis>  When i try to add a printer in the printers dialog of KDE, the add printer option is grayed out. Why is it grayed out, and what do i need to install? (I didn't install kubuntu-desktop, but kde-core)
[08:02] <Arelis> (#kubuntu is empty, no-one is answering)
[08:02] <malnilion> Ah, it was probably asking for root privileges for the make install step :P
[08:02] <Radi01> add remove  because adept didnt respond..U think my disk might be bad?
[08:02] <cdm10> Can anyone here using SIP of any sort help me test Ekiga?

[08:02] <Radi01> il try brb
[08:02] <scrapbunny> is there a way to run quicktime in ubuntu?
[08:02] <ompaul> Radi01, no idea you might have corrupted your install in some way - best thing there is to back up your data and install freshly if you you want to test
[08:03] <ompaul> !quicktime | scrapbunny
[08:03] <ubotu> scrapbunny: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:03] <Radi01> k ompaul/thanks...1 thing though..the first time i installed kubuntu it worked flawlessly..interesting
[08:04] <scrapbunny> i am trying to run a program in wine that requires quicktime7
[08:04]  * malnilion thinks one can install quicktime codecs with wine
[08:05] <ompaul> Radi01, then something has broken and ehh you need to work out what it is - sounds like you are unsure of what you have so I would strongly suggest, back up your data and reinstall - if it breaks again randomly then consider a new disk
[08:05] <Radi01> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[08:05] <ompaul> Radi01, you did break your system do sudo dpkg --configure -a and see how you are then
[08:06] <Radi01> k
[08:06] <malnilion> scrapbunny, you might try installing quicktime alternative w/ wine
[08:06] <scrapbunny> thanks will do
[08:06] <CapaH> I just finished setting up ndiswrapper for my Netgear WPN311 PCI WiFi card. Unfortunately, it is still not working. ndiswrapper -l shows that it is installed correctly, device present -- however tail /var/log/messages says: ath0: Link not ready --- what do I do?
[08:08] <whereswaldo> hey can anyone help me with my sound issue
[08:08] <ubunturos> whereswaldo: post your issue, may be someone could help
[08:09] <Whyvas> anyone alive?
[08:09] <whereswaldo> ubunturos: I have a few times haha

[08:09] <whereswaldo> hey my sound is really quiet and static-y, I read about a problem with Intel sound chipsets but lspci | grep audio -i gives me ¨nvidia¨
[08:09] <ompaul> !sound | whereswaldo
[08:09] <ubotu> whereswaldo: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[08:10] <Whyvas> any howto's for gutsy on a g4?
[08:10] <ubunturos>  s / bugs / lag
[08:11] <whereswaldo> hey thanks, I´ve got ALSA mixer selected but I´ll check out this other stuff, thanks again
[08:12] <malnilion> Heh, great, I was looking for a g4 guide for him too, lol
[08:13] <Whyvas> nigga please!
[08:14] <malnilion> Whyvas, first of all, you know which CD iso to get, right?
[08:14] <Whyvas> yes
[08:14] <Whyvas> do you?
[08:14] <malnilion> The powerpc-alternate install disc
[08:14] <Whyvas> WOW!
[08:15] <magic_ninja> when i set my cpu to run at 1.47 ghz it doesn't restart itself from overheating like it used to when it overheated, however it does hang when the kernel begins to load
[08:15] <malnilion> Whyvas, from there I don't know offhand what to do because I haven't gone through installing linux on a G4 or any other mac
[08:15] <malnilion> But I'm looking for a guide
[08:15] <rhs> Whyvas: found this http://pinguin.uni-psych.gwdg.de/~ihrke/wiki/index.php/Installing_Ubuntu_on_iBook
[08:16] <chanwk> hello
[08:16] <ompaul> !bootoptions | magic_ninja
[08:16] <ubotu> magic_ninja: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[08:17] <Pyrobyte> heya, i have heard there is a program that allows you to make use of the extra buttons on some mice, but i can't remember the name of it, does anyone know the name?
[08:17] <magic_ninja> ompaul: do you think its a config issue
[08:17] <ompaul> magic_ninja, not booting is generally overcome by "noapic nolapic"
[08:17] <ompaul> magic_ninja, as per that page
[08:18] <magic_ninja> ompaul: it freezes at the part, right after grub loads the kernel when it says "starting up" the blinking underscore sets there and blinks
[08:18] <malnilion> rhs, for Whyvas sake do you happen to know if gparted can resize an HFS or HFS+ partition?
[08:19] <rhs> malnilion: nope
[08:19] <ompaul> magic_ninja, as I said  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[08:19] <z0rz> If I play any streamed (over the local network) in full scren (VLC, Toem, or MPlayer) ... it skips every 3 seconds (fora bout 1 minetu) ... how can I fix this?
[08:19] <magic_ninja> ompaul: when i set the proc to run at 1.1 in bios it runs fine, but when i set it to run at 1.47 it doesn't, just making sure this is a probable fix
[08:20] <Whyvas> my toes smell like puss
[08:20] <ompaul> magic_ninja, are you overclocking by any change
[08:20] <whta> ok i just reinstalled and i want to make sure i do everything properly here. first off, i enabled the restricted ATI driver and restarted. now compiz isn't working. what do i need to do to get it back on?
[08:20] <magic_ninja> ompaul: no sir my processor is supposed to run at 1.47 ghz, but in bios i get the options to run at 1.1 or 1.47
[08:21] <Ubuntu_Rocks> ompaul: (Radi01): My disk was bad/Every time I installed kubuntu it always gave me errors on the 1rst update..sorry to take you through all that,and thanks for your help.
[08:21] <campa> hola
[08:21] <z0rz> Anyone?
[08:21] <malnilion> Whyvas, according to this feature chart: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php it appears you can resize your MacOS partition with Gnome Partition Editor.  Therefore when you run your installation CD you should be able to resize your partition and add a Linux partition to install Ubuntu on.
[08:22] <campa> alguien habla espa;ol_
[08:22] <rhs> Whyvas has been kicked
[08:22] <malnilion> Ah
[08:22] <ompaul> magic_ninja, well then I guess you don't want to run at 1.47 check your fans and stuff - but tbh that sounds more like hardware
[08:22] <malnilion> 'cause his toes stunk I reckon
[08:22] <ompaul> !es | campa
[08:22] <ubotu> campa: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[08:22] <malnilion> Or maybe his attitude :)
[08:23] <magic_ninja> ompaul: not sure if its hardware it used to run fine but i let my comp set for a while then it wouldn't run at 1.47
[08:23] <campa> ok, muchas gracias, que tengan buenas noches
[08:23] <bullgard4> I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS>/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well?
[08:23] <ompaul> magic_ninja, then it looks like you got hardware issues, would you concur?
[08:23] <magic_ninja> ompaul: its a possibility, but if my cpu or mobo gets too hot my comp automatically reboots
[08:24] <tongueroo> is there a way to make the change the load path, even for sudo, when i do a sudo which mongrel_rails it doesnt show up because the path is /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/mongrel_rails?
[08:24] <z0rz> If I play any streamed video (over the local network) in full screen (VLC, Toem, or MPlayer) ... it skips every 3 seconds (for about 1 minute) ... how can I fix this?
[08:24] <tongueroo> ive tried export PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:$PATH in .profile and .bashrc
[08:24] <magic_ninja> ompaul: as long as noacpi will not affect that saftey feature i'll give it a shot
[08:24] <tongueroo> but sudo which mongrel_rails still shows up blank
[08:25] <J_5> I installed imagemagick, where does it install to? what is the path?
[08:25] <CapaH> Can anyone please help me? For over three days I am trying to get wireless to work on my desktop. I have purchased FOUR different wireless adapters, three of them USB and one PCI --- and NOTHING WORKS. The closest I can come is I can iwlist scan, and I can iwconfig ... essid linksys3 --- but I CANNOT CONNECT. Can anyone help me with this? please?
[08:25] <emja> I read through the faq re audio problems (which ompaul pointed whereswaldo to) and found that my audio devices (dev/snd/* /dev/audio /dev/mixer) are owned by root.audio and perms 660. should I fix this in rc.local or is there a more 'correct' way of fixing this?
[08:25] <rhs> bullgard1: seems you have the kernel source on one and not the other, you can install it
[08:25] <ompaul> magic_ninja, it turns off stuff at bios level I would not do it - and if your hardware is rebooting regularly due to too much heat you should get new fans
[08:26] <ompaul> emja, now I suggest you are ready for the alsa people in #alsa if you have that info to hand they can advise you better
[08:26] <emja> ompaul: many thanks
[08:26] <rhs> bullgard4: just install the kernel source on the other
[08:27] <ompaul> CapaH, the drivers being managed by either ndiswrapper or madwifi I suggest you look at the page the bot will send you and do some madwifi stuff
[08:27] <ompaul> !madwifi > CapaH
[08:27]  * ompaul heads off to mapping party
[08:28] <bullgard4> rhs: There is no DEB program package 'kernel-source'. What DEB program package do you mean precisely?
[08:28] <tongueroo> funny, $ sudo echo $PATH
[08:28] <CapaH> ompaul: I have tried both and both are not working
[08:28] <tongueroo> returns: /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:/usr/java/jdk/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[08:28] <tongueroo> but $ sudo which mongrel_rails, still doesnt show up mongrel_rails ...
[08:28] <CapaH> ompaul: I have been struggling with this for days -- I have read everything I can read
[08:29] <ompaul> CapaH, I have to go - I will say, take a break and then do madwifi setup - it works when ndiswrapper fails
[08:29] <MooCows> Hello, I was thinking about setting up a dual boot , I have 2 partitions on this HD right now, one is a small 10 GB partition
[08:29] <rhs> bullgard4: it's called linux-source
[08:29] <MooCows> Would that be good enough to install Ubuntu for testing
[08:30] <magic_ninja> ompaul: the good news: it bypassed the spot where it normally hangs, bad news: my comp restarts so ty i need a new heatsink
[08:31] <MooCows> Also, how would I set it up to dual boot?
[08:31] <J_5> I installed imagemagick, where does it install to? what is the path?
[08:31] <MooCows> So that it doesn't damange the windows side
[08:31] <rhs> MooCows: 10 GB is enough just for testing
[08:32] <rhs> MooCows: ubuntu detects your other OS and adds a menu at startup
[08:32] <MooCows> rhs,  by itself ?
[08:32] <rhs> MooCows: yes
[08:33] <MooCows> So I don't have to do any fancy stuff with lilo (Or whatever) ?  I had to do a bunch of junk back in Mandrake for lilo to work out when I was dual booting Win98SE
[08:33] <happy_broccoli> how can i lock down a box so that only port 22 and port 80 are visible?
[08:33] <happy_broccoli> from the linux box itself
[08:34] <rhs> MooCows: ubuntu installs grub (which replaces lilo) automatically
[08:34] <CapaH> How can I utterly uninstall the madwifi drivers? They seem to be conflicting with ndiswrapper even when I blacklist ath_pci and ath_hal
[08:35] <MooCows> OK , so pretty much all I should have to do is move the data off the other parition, go and install Ubuntu on the smaller partition , and make sure it's going to use it, and I should be fine for booting XP AND Ubuntu ?
[08:35] <z0rz> If I play any streamed video (over the local network) in full screen (VLC, Toem, or MPlayer) ... it skips every 3 seconds (for about 1 minute) ... how can I fix this?
[08:36] <rhs> MooCows: read the documentation first for installing, and at installation choose to partition manually
[08:36] <jimmy_> Hi everyone, does anyone know how to forward ports in Ubuntu 7.10?
[08:36] <rhs> MooCows: I'm going to find some doc for you
[08:36] <UnNaturalHigh> jimmy_, iptables
[08:37] <gandhii> why is that when I check the ckeckbox to make a user part of a group that the setting doesn't actually set?  ie..  when I say ok and open it back up..  the checked user is no longer checked,,
[08:38] <r4d10h4x> my window decorations just disappeared randomly. emerald themer not working either. and reboot says it is on time mode.... WTF!?
[08:38] <jimmy_> UnNaturalhigh, thanks! I have iptables installed, how do I use it?
[08:38] <gandhii> does the System/Adminstration/Users and Groups settings application not work?  Or am I not using it correctly?
[08:38] <UnNaturalHigh> gandhii, you could manually add them to the group <ALT+F2>, in the run dialog type: sudo gedit /etc/group
[08:39] <krimx> Is there a way to adjust how often the time is synchronized?  Setting it to do it automatically isn't often enough so I have to do it manually
[08:39] <krimx> Using 7.10 with Gnome
[08:39] <Chousuke> :/
[08:39] <jimmy_> when I type "iptables" in the terminal, nothing comes up :(
[08:39] <UnNaturalHigh> gandhii, then proceed to locate the group name and add the username in a pattern consistent with the rest of the file
[08:39] <gandhii> unnatural..   yea..  thanks.   But it would be ideal to use the simple gui app..
[08:40] <UnNaturalHigh> jimmy_, you need to do some reading, iptables is not that simple but not that hard to learn
[08:40] <ephemient> krimx: I believe that ntpdate runs every time you connect to the network
[08:40] <UnNaturalHigh> jimmy_, google iptables tutorial
[08:40] <jimmy_> ok
[08:40] <Chousuke> krimx: What makes your clock lag so much?
[08:40] <UnNaturalHigh> jimmy_, google iptables ubuntu help
[08:40] <rhs> MooCows: there's the problem of the MBR
[08:40] <krimx> ephemient: Ah that's the problem then since I'm connected pretty much all the time.
[08:41] <UnNaturalHigh> gandhii, I suppose, but I a merely stating a solution to the problem you mentioned that takes close to the same effort that would take to click your way to the solution
[08:41] <krimx> Chousuke: Not sure, it might be that I'm uploading at 10mb/s pretty much 24/7?
[08:41] <UnNaturalHigh> *a/am
[08:41] <Chousuke> krimx: hmm
[08:41] <Chousuke> krimx: Never heard of network traffic causing lags like that, but I suppose it's possible.
[08:42] <Chousuke> krimx: try with another NIC? :)
[08:42] <blackfoxok> can i ask question?
[08:42] <krimx> Chousuke: Either that or it's the HD movies I'm watching.
[08:42] <Chousuke> I'd bet on the NIC in that case.
[08:42] <UnNaturalHigh> blackfoxok, no, remain silent and wallow in self pity
[08:43] <ephemient> !ask
[08:43] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:43] <blackfoxok> ok
[08:43] <Chousuke> krimx: is it integrated?
[08:43] <eclipse7500> shouldnt it be after you have alsa support enabled and the proper module loaded and the mixer settings set right, your audio should work?
[08:43] <CapaH> I just went through and utterly uninstalled everything remotely related to madwifi, I deleted the restricted drivers containing it, I removed madwifi-tools, etc --- When I ndiswrapper -l it no longer shows (Alternate driver...) --- and STILL when I modprobe ndiswrapper it sets ath0 ----- any, ideas, why ? What can I do to fix that?
[08:43] <krimx> Chousuke: Yup, got a Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2H
[08:43] <ephemient> krimx: odd, though.  2.6.22, it should be using hrtimers, I don't think any of those things would make it go off sync
[08:44] <LtEmerpoc> sup face
[08:45] <ephemient> CapaH: see /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[08:45] <CapaH> doing now...
[08:45] <r4d10h4x> my window decorations just disappeared randomly. emerald themer not working either. and reboot says it is on time mode.... WTF!?
[08:45] <Chousuke> krimx: Hm. Well, I suggest you try with another NIC and see if that solves your problem.
[08:45] <ephemient> CapaH: (or /etc/iftab on LTS)
[08:45] <ineedhelps> i need help with my video card and my drivers can anyone help
[08:45] <krimx> ephemient: Yeah. It was off by almost 5 hours when I first noticed that problem
[08:45] <ephemient> ineedhelps: asking for help without first giving details does not work.  do it the other way around.
[08:46] <CapaH> Yes I found a line there ephemient and I deleted it, hopefully it will work now (rebooting)
[08:46] <Chousuke> krimx: It's pretty much a shot in the dark, but I can't think of anything else that could cause your clock to lag that badly.
[08:46] <CapaH> ephemient: What is "LTS" ?
[08:46] <Chousuke> krimx: it's probably either a buggy driver or buggy hardware.
[08:46] <ephemient> CapaH: Long Term Support, i.e. 6.06 Dapper
[08:46] <CapaH> ah its Gutsy
[08:46] <krimx> Chousuke: Well I'd hate to have to go buy more hardware for a brand new computer, especially if it's only to have the right time in the upper corner. Isn't there some setting I can change to update the clock every 6 hours?
[08:47] <CapaH> I have four totally different wireless adapters and I will be very happy if even one will work
[08:47] <ephemient> krimx: you could install openntpd
[08:47] <ineedhelps> ok sry i have 9600 xt radeon ati with a computer runing ubuntu and i need help with the video card resultion
[08:47] <Chousuke> krimx: well you could find a friend willing to borrow you a NIC. :)
[08:47] <ephemient> krimx: or set up a cron job to run ntpdate regularly but that seems icky
[08:47] <Chousuke> hmm
[08:47] <Centaur5> I just finished configuring a chillispot server but when my client is redirected after it accepts the certificates it pops up with a window to download hotspotlogin.cgi even though the browser should open it. How do I fix that?
[08:48] <krimx> ephemient: I'll check openntpd out
[08:48] <alimoe> hi all
[08:48] <blackfoxok> hi
[08:48] <rhs> MooCows: do you need more help ?
[08:48] <Chousuke> krimx: isn't openntpd an ntp server?
[08:48] <MooCows> rhs, what problem of the MBR
[08:48] <alimoe> how do i connect wireless modem in ubuntu?
[08:48] <Chousuke> krimx: what you need is to run your ntp client regularly. cron is just fine for that :)
[08:49] <MooCows> The MBR in windows ?
[08:49] <rhs> MooCows: once grub is installed, you will always have a menu at startup, unless you reinstall windows
[08:49] <ephemient> ntpd is good at keeping the system time synchronized
[08:50] <blackfoxok> ubuntu can use beryl ?
[08:50] <MooCows> rhs, that's what I want.  Or are you talking about if I was to format the parition which Ubuntu would be installing to, I STILL would have the grub menu ?
[08:50] <blackfoxok> i dont know how to use ^^
[08:50] <CapaH> Ok I found a rule in udev rules that was stopping the wlan0 from coming up, it now comes up, now my var/log/messages says: wlan0: link not ready. I can iwlist scan. I can see all the networks and valid details. I can iwconfig essid and it sets the right essid. I cannot connect. Any ideas? Please?
[08:50] <krimx> I guess I'll check out both openntpd and cron then and see which one seems best :) Thanks for the help.
[08:51] <ephemient> blackfoxok: Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy has Compiz Fusion, which supercedes both Compiz and Beryl
[08:51] <rhs> MooCows: you would still have the menu, there's a workaround but it's complicated
[08:51] <rhs> MooCows: http://www.matthewjmiller.net/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/
[08:51] <ephemient> CapaH: after iwconfig essid, does it associate?  do you need a wireless key?
[08:51] <MooCows> rhs, OK, so What are you talking about "The problem" ?
[08:52] <blackfoxok> ok thank you for help
[08:52] <foureyes779> ewww
[08:52] <CapaH> ephemient: I do not need a wireless key. However, the iwconfig shows: ESSID "linksys3" but it also says: Not-Associated --- ideas?
[08:53] <rhs> MooCows: hum, i made a mistake
[08:54] <Dj^SmyL3> ciao
[08:54] <blackfoxok> ubuntu 6.06 can use beryl ?
[08:54] <rhs> MooCows: no the menu whouldn't be here and you coulndn't boot your windows
[08:55] <ephemient> CapaH: "not associated" is a showstopper, but I'm not an expert and I don't know how to fix that...
[08:55] <hekamiah> hola chazco
[08:55] <ephemient> blackfoxok: I do not believe that either Beryl or Compiz are supported on 6.06, but I could check
[08:56] <MooCows> So what do I need to do ?
[08:56] <flamesrock> anyone know how the good the Linux ATI drivers are now? I'm thinking of getting a 3850 over an 8600
[08:56] <hekamiah> hi, someboby can help me please
[08:56] <MooCows> Just go remove the data on the other partition , and set up Ubuntu on it ?

[08:59] <CapaH> And I tried madwifi (Ubuntu set that up automatically when it detected the card) -- the problem is the same, I can iwlist scan, I can see the access points, but I cannot connect

[09:01] <CapaH> yes
[09:01] <mediahunter> ok...hold on let me think
[09:01] <ephemient> ineedhelps: I have never had a system with working fglrx, so I can't really help there... see if anybody else can help and ask again later
[09:01] <ephemient> !ati
[09:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:01] <ephemient> ineedhelps: that being said, 9600 is supported by the open-source drivers
[09:02] <ineedhelps> how to do i get those?
[09:02] <mediahunter> CapaH the cards are on the list so I am not to sure why it is not working
[09:02] <ephemient> ineedhelps: if you remove fglrx, your system should be back to using the open-source radeon driver
[09:02] <mediahunter> sorry i could not help CapaH
[09:03] <ineedhelps> how do i remove?
[09:03] <ephemient> ineedhelps: how did you install it?
[09:03] <ineedhelps> i used terminal

[09:06] <joseph> ubuntu desktop
[09:07] <alimoe> do i need an antivirus in ubuntu?
[09:07] <rhs> alimoe: if you're paranoid, yes
[09:07] <joseph> wat do i do ephemient
[09:08] <rhs> alimoe: just joking, i don't have one
[09:08] <Varka> alimoe, unless you are not exchanging files with windows-machines ... no
[09:08] <ephemient> joseph: that's odd. file-roller should be installed in your case...
[09:08] <alimoe> rhs: so no need?
[09:08] <alimoe> warka: thnx
[09:08] <cloogon> I want to know how to replace gdm with xdm on ubuntu system,who can help me?

[09:09] <warlock_handler> hi guys
[09:09] <alimoe> i want to must master LINUX, how do i?
[09:09] <ephemient> joseph: it should be installed already, if you have ubuntu-desktop... I thought
[09:09] <ephemient> joseph: but yes.  file-roller is the archive manager for Gnome
[09:09] <ineedhelps> hey ephemient what do i do now>
[09:09] <alimoe> can books work?
[09:09] <joseph> ok thanx
[09:09] <warlock_handler> I am running uBuntu 7.10...  i see a trackerd application thats eating my CPU time
[09:09] <warlock_handler> any solution to this??
[09:10] <joseph> umm i alt+f2 and typed in "file roller
[09:10] <joseph> and i have it
[09:10] <Varka> joseph, zip ~/Desktop/<foo.zip> ~/Desktop/<foo>
[09:10] <joseph> i just dont have an option to zip a file
[09:10] <ephemient> warlock_handler: it is indexing your files.  you can configure this in System > Preferences > Indexing Preferences
[09:10] <joseph> thanx
[09:10] <ephemient> ineedhelps: what does Restricted Drivers say?
[09:10] <alimoe> redhat v/s ubuntu???
 ya dude i figured that... but since it was taking more of my CPU i deselected the indexing options...
 but still it was running in the system processes...
[09:11] <warlock_handler> so i simple stopped that process
[09:11] <ineedhelps> propreity drivers do not have public source code
[09:12] <joseph> how do i force quit?
[09:12] <Varka> joseph, quitting what?
[09:12] <rhs> joseph: force quit what  ?
[09:12] <Chousuke> cmd-alt-esc -> choose app -> force quit
[09:12] <joseph> a program
[09:12] <Chousuke> er
[09:12] <Chousuke> never mind :D
[09:12] <Chousuke> not #macosx :<
[09:13] <jhaig> Does anyone here know about nfs in gutsy?  Since upgrading to gutsy I have been having network problems which I think is due to nfs.  munin graphs at this moment show that a client is running nfs lookup requests at a rate of about 1000 per second, and has been doing so now for about 12 hours.  The hub shows high network contention and the machines run sluggishly.  This did not happen at all with feisty.
[09:13] <Varka> joseph, Control+c
[09:13] <ephemient> ineedhelps: in the box... there should be a line saying ATI something-or-other, is it enabled or not?
[09:13] <Chousuke> You shouldn't use OS X terminology on Ubuntu channels :/
[09:13] <joseph> thats from the terminal
[09:13] <Chousuke> on Linux, you "kill" applications
 dude how do i remove it from the startup next time
[09:13] <ineedhelps> it is checked so its enable but the status says its not in use
[09:13] <buttercups> warlock_handler, tracker starts up on boot, remove the tracker start up entry
[09:13] <weltschmerz> how can i change the order in which my sound cards load?
[09:14] <ephemient> warlock_handler: System > Preferences > Sessions
 how do i do this??
[09:14] <warlock_handler> ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
[09:14] <Asathoor> how can I detect errors on a harddisk?
[09:14] <abbe> hi channel
[09:14] <warlock_handler> awesome guys... that helped :D
[09:14] <buttercups> warlock_handler, system>preferences>sessions
[09:14] <ephemient> Asathoor: badblocks or fsck
[09:14] <Asathoor> ephemient >> thanx
[09:15] <abbe> whenever I try to install any package via apt-get, I get this "warning: The following packages cannot be authenticated!" , any ideas how to fix this ? I'm on Ubuntu Gutsy
[09:15] <jhaig> #nfs
[09:15] <ephemient> abbe: which package is it?  it likely comes from an external repository
[09:15] <abbe> ephemient: it is manpages-dev
[09:15] <raz0r> what's paranoid
[09:16] <abbe> ephemient: I'm using only Ubuntu repositories (mirror: http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com)
[09:17] <Varka> weltschmerz, http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Soundprobleme#head-b1e3ca67af9921c4598dc31e490b37ed3a376d47
[09:17] <eclipse7500> bleh
[09:18] <abbe> ephemient: ubuntu keys (FBB75451, 437D05B5) are also there in apt keyring
[09:18] <eclipse7500> i have the via82xx module loaded, mixer settings are right, and turned off my acpi reading that some people have had issues with the irq settings with the mobo and linux. anybody else have any ideas?
[09:18] <ephemient> abbe: yeah, I'm looking through that mirror
[09:19] <hammsand> anyone that can help me with a silly terminal question?
[09:19] <ephemient> abbe: I don't know why this error has occured; everything should have worked.
[09:19] <eclipse7500> oh, and sometimes my audio randomly did work... rarely, but it has worked outta the blue.
[09:19] <abbe> ephemient: okay,
[09:19] <eclipse7500> hammsand: shoot
[09:19] <abbe> ephemient: while trying to install 'glibc-doc' package I also get this warning
[09:19] <ephemient> abbe: it might be an intermittent error, the last refresh failed to fetch the signature, maybe
[09:20] <ephemient> abbe: you could ignore it or refresh and try again
[09:20] <hammsand> i have a folder on my ntfs drive "--=Lots of Stuff=--"   so it's located in  /media/sda04/--=Lots of Stuff=--/
[09:20] <abbe> ephemient: so you mean, apt-get update will fix this
[09:20] <ephemient> abbe: likely
[09:20] <hammsand> why can i not changedir  (cd)  to this in terminal
[09:20] <Varka> weltschmerz, http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards
[09:20] <mohkohn> does xubuntu come with a bittorrent program?
[09:20] <ephemient> ineedhelps: sorry, too many other questions...
[09:20] <hammsand> i've use quotes, everything grawr
[09:20] <abbe> ephemient: thanks it is fixed, after "apt-get update"
[09:20] <Varka> mohkohn, yes it does
[09:21] <mohkohn> Varka, what is it called?
[09:21] <ephemient> ineedhelps: please be sure to prefix your lines with the name of the person you are talking to, so that their IRC client highlights it
[09:21] <eclipse7500> hammsand: maybe it needs the backslash in there with the symbols?
[09:21] <Varka> mohkohn, just: bittorrent
[09:22] <eclipse7500> hammsand: as to signify a space in a name its "read\ this"
[09:22] <Varka> mohkohn, and graphically gnome-btdownload
[09:22] <ephemient> ineedhelps: if it's not in use... could you paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[09:22] <eclipse7500> hammsand: just try "cd /media/sda04/-\" then tab for auto completion
[09:23] <mohkohn> thanks varka. it did not seem to be in my Applications. so I might need to apt
[09:24] <Varka> mohkohn, its started automatically if you are klicking a .torrent or downloading one
[09:24] <ephemient> !bittorrent
[09:24] <Asathoor> any suggestions on GUI tools in order to check hardware?
[09:24] <ubotu> Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P
[09:24] <Varka> Asathoor, use CLI tools, lshw or hwinfo
[09:25] <eclipse7500> hammsand: --\=Lots\ Of\ Stuff\=--/          thats its name under linux, it uses backslashes to represent special symbols or something along those lines
[09:25] <mohkohn> Varka, thanks again
[09:25] <Asathoor> thanx Varka
[09:25] <ephemient> hammsand, eclipse7500: shell (and many other programming languages) uses \ to "escape", meaning "usually the following character has a special meaning, but don't apply that special meaning here"
[09:26] <eclipse7500> ephemient: ahh gotcha
[09:26] <eclipse7500> thanks ephemient
[09:26] <bullgard4> "sudo apt-file update && apt-file search 'linux-<IP_ADDRESS>'" does not output anything. What package produces the /usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS> directory?
[09:26] <eclipse7500> anyways
[09:26] <hammsand> lol i just had to change my quotes
[09:26] <ephemient> bullgard4: linux-source
[09:26] <ephemient> hammsand: that works too
[09:27] <hammsand> but thanks
[09:27] <bullgard4> ephemient: If it was true what you wrote, why does my command not show it?
[09:27] <hammsand> actually i just had to extend the directory in my command:   cd "/media/sda4/--=Lots of Stuff=--/"
[09:28] <ephemient> !info linux-source
[09:28] <ubotu> linux-source: Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>.21 (gutsy), package size 24 kB, installed size 52 kB
[09:28] <eclipse7500> anyone have any idea what could cause my audio not to work? i have the via82xx module loaded, mixer settings right, and disabled acpi due to me reading that sometimes it can interfer with the irq settings? it worked out of the blue a few times, nothing changed either
[09:29] <ephemient> bullgard4: because it is not installed by default and apt-file only searches installed packages?
[09:29] <ephemient> (I think?)
[09:29] <mohkohn> I need to torrent a system rescue cd and make a dvd backup before I do strange experimental things.
[09:29] <ares221> #france
[09:29] <ephemient> err, hmm.  I guess not.
[09:30] <mohkohn> unless of course the ubuntulivecd has partimage on it
[09:30] <Varka> bullgard1, you searched for linux-<IP_ADDRESS>, but the current version is linux-2.6.22-14
[09:30] <bullgard4> ephemient: apt-file does not search only the installed packages. Rather, it searches much more.
[09:30] <ephemient> bullgard4: yes, I realized that after looking it up
[09:30] <ephemient> bullgard4: I don't know why apt-file doesn't find it.
[09:30] <ephemient> bullgard4: but linux-source is the package containing the linux source.
[09:31] <riaal> I need to check my uptime from the terminal, any ides?
[09:31] <bullgard4> Varka: Yes, this may be the reason. I will investigate.
[09:31] <ephemient> bullgard4: you could also "apt-get source [name of your kernel package]"
[09:31] <ephemient> riaal: there is a command named "uptime"
[09:31] <riaal> ephemient, lol, thanks
[09:34] <blackfoxok> ubuntu can use format ntfs?
[09:34] <eclipse7500> yeah, it can read/write to it
[09:35] <blackfoxok> how to format ntfs use ubuntu?
[09:36] <_DT> blackfoxok: yes, it can read ntfs volumes by default but you may need to install something for write access
[09:38] <floodge> When upgrading to Gutsy im told im short 100mb of space, is there any way of clearing or adding space to my current installation?
[09:38] <ephemient> floodge: you could remove some large packages, upgrade, and install them again
[09:39] <floodge> Such as?
[09:39] <joosep> how do i make my ntfs partition mount automatically in gutsy?
[09:39] <eclipse7500> edit /etc/fstab is one way
[09:39] <joosep> i have 2 partitions with ntfs, one mounts automatically at boot, i want the other one to do the same
[09:39] <floodge> I've tried removing some packages, but it seems to make the amount I need to download to upgrade go up
[09:39] <eclipse7500> i dont know if ubuntu has a easier interface for it though..
[09:40] <ephemient> floodge: if you remove packages that the upgrade was going to install anyways, it is futile
[09:40] <joosep> eclipse7500, the two partitions are set up in a different way i think
[09:40] <bullgard4> "Launchpad is off for maintenance." How long did such an outage last on the average in the past?
[09:40] <AmL> joosep, it should find them automatically during installation
[09:40] <ephemient> floodge: I can't think of anything really easy, though...
[09:40] <mwansa> joosep, gnome-volume-manager also mounts ntfs parts automatically
[09:40] <eclipse7500> joosep: read into editing the fstab, just google how edit fstab or something
[09:40] <CapaH> .... I am using MADWIFI on a Netgear WPN311 Wifi PCI card. I can iwlist scan, I can iwconfig essid linksys3 -- but I cannot connect. Can anyone help me?
[09:41] <floodge> I dont mind repartitioning if you recommend a program for it
[09:41] <ares221> hi ev'body
[09:41] <eclipse7500> floodge: gparted
[09:41] <DJFatalError> sorry for parting
[09:41] <floodge> I know of gparted
[09:42] <floodge> but Im stuck with 0.2.5
[09:42] <ephemient> floodge: parted (and gparted and qtparted) are very nice; unfortulately, you cannot edit the partition you are currently booted from
[09:42] <floodge> LiveCd method?
[09:42] <ephemient> floodge: that would work
[09:42] <jay> i used gparted's livecd and it worked great for me
[09:42] <ephemient> floodge: gparted should be present on the LiveCD
[09:43] <Slart> will ext2/3 ever do "fsck while mounted without the world ending" ? are there other fs that support that?
[09:43] <ephemient> really, any livecd will do
[09:43] <Varka> blackfoxok,
[09:43] <mediahunter> anyone here know anything about VM on linus
[09:43] <mediahunter> linux
[09:43] <Varka> blackfoxok, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G
[09:43] <ephemient> Slart: not that I know of
[09:43] <Asathoor> i'm trying to find out why an xubuntu mashine freezes, but cannot get it to the state of freezing... aheeem ... could the user just forget to turn on a router... an elderly lady is the user...
[09:43] <rockets> Is there a reason I wouldn't have the setenv command
[09:43] <blackfoxok> ok
[09:43] <cloogon> I have somthing to ask, who can help me ?
[09:43] <Asathoor> 8-)
[09:43] <ephemient> rockets: in Bourne-like shells (not csh-like shells), you do not have setenv
[09:43] <floodge> Thanks
[09:44] <ephemient> rockets: just write "VAR=value; export VAR" instead of "setenv VAR value"
[09:44] <rockets> ephemient, oh . . . that sucks. now i have to do #!/usr/bin/ruby which is distro specific
[09:44] <blackfoxok> thank you <Varka>
[09:44] <ephemient> rockets: oh
[09:44] <rockets> ephemient, this is for a shebang.
[09:44] <ephemient> rockets: you have /usr/bin/env
[09:44] <rockets> oh ok
[09:44] <rockets> same difference
[09:44] <cloogon> hi
[09:44] <rockets> so i can do #!/usr/bin/env ruby
[09:44] <mwansa> mm how can i give user permisions to play dvd media, adding them to cdrom group doesnt cut it
[09:44] <ephemient> rockets: I've never heard of a #!setenv
[09:44] <Slart> ephemient: hmm.. It's kind of annoying that this "never reboot" os can't check the root drive without rebooting
[09:45] <ephemient> rockets: but yes, #!/usr/bin/env [something other program] is very common
[09:45] <rockets> ephemient, #!/usr/bin/setenv ruby
[09:45] <Asathoor> mwansa >> check users - and edit them
[09:45] <rockets> either way
[09:45] <rockets> thats fine
[09:45] <rockets> thanks
[09:45] <Varka> blackfoxok, if you are using gutsy you dont have to install anything, its included by default
[09:45] <ephemient> rockets: I've seen /usr/bin/env far more than setenv; in fact I haven't ever seen setenv on a Linux system
[09:45] <rockets> ephemient, regardless
[09:45] <mwansa> Asathoor, im using fluxbox so need to set it cli
[09:45] <rockets> ephemient, thats what the ruby folks told me to use so thats what i tried
[09:46] <ephemient> rockets: okay.  well, they were almost right :)
[09:46] <rockets> maybe they were solaris users :-P
[09:46] <Lifeisfunny> Does anyone know the name of the service that interferes with the function of the Gnometris game?
[09:46] <ephemient> yeah :)
[09:46] <DJFatalError> first: sorry for my bad english.
[09:46] <Patchak> just a quick question please I'm trying to learn scp from the command line... and I'm not sure why this command fails...it goes crazy and seemsto copy the modules directory in a loop....
[09:46] <DJFatalError> i'll join a channel in the ircnet, but the channel does not support modes. what can i do?
[09:47] <Patchak> scp -r /home/alexis/Drupal/GeekStuff/riddler alexis@IPHERE : /home/www/geekomatic.com/docroot/sites/all/modules
[09:47] <CapaH> Can anyone help me on this? I am trying to get wireless to work. I can iwlist scan. I can iwconfig essid, but I cannot connect to my network from my desktop. I am talking here using my laptop which is on the same wireless network just fine -- also using Ubuntu Gutsy. Anyone?
[09:47] <Patchak> so basically I want to upload my riddler folder to the server did I do something wrong in that command?
[09:47] <revx> wil somebody help me with this screen resolution...at first it went ok at 1024x1xxx but when i shifted to dual monitor..it chnages to 640x4xx something now i cant open my screen and graphics...
[09:47] <wasabi_> how do i fix flash 9 overlapping other layers?
[09:47] <Lifeisfunny> specifically the descend speed in the game hangs at times due to something and I'm thinking it's a background service
[09:48] <revx> i cant chnages my setting anymore
[09:48] <crdlb> wasabi_: you can't :/
[09:48] <wasabi_> crdlb, any other alternatives?
[09:48] <wasabi_> crdlb, to adobe's flash 9 i mean.
[09:49] <livingdaylight> Saludos Ubunteros!
[09:49] <crdlb> wasabi_: honestly I think the problem is with firefox (gecko)
[09:49] <revx> wil somebody help me with this screen resolution...at first it went ok at 1024x1xxx but when i shifted to dual monitor..it chnages to 640x4xx something now i cant open my screen and graphics...
[09:49] <crdlb> I'm not sure that even gnash would fix it, but don't quote me on that
[09:49] <ephemient> wasabi_: the way that Netscape-style plugins work, I don't think it is fixable
[09:50] <wasabi_> damn. maybe it will be address with firefox 3
[09:50] <ephemient> wasabi_: not unless they invent a new plugin architecture :-/
[09:50] <livingdaylight> komrades... i gotz prblem with pdigin... i cannot join chat. I create irc acc and initially it works but after logging off and now back on  i cannot join chat
[09:50] <wasabi_> so ie6 on ubuntu doesn't have that problem?
[09:50] <revx> wil somebody help me with this screen resolution...at first it went ok at 1024x1xxx but when i shifted to dual monitor..it chnages to 640x4xx something now i cant open my screen and graphics...
[09:50] <ephemient> wasabi_: it has other problems :)
[09:50] <Kraklok> helloo
[09:50] <ephemient> wasabi_: I've never tried it, but I don't think so...
[09:51] <crdlb> wasabi_: firefox in wine wouldn't have that problem :) (assuming you can get flash working in it)
[09:51] <blackfoxok> ubuntu cant use exe file?
[09:51] <wasabi_> damn
[09:51] <wasabi_> blackfoxok, wine
[09:51] <ephemient> revx: xrandr --output=default --mode=1024x768 (or whatever is appropriate)
[09:51] <wasabi_> thanks for the help guys
[09:51] <hammsand> blackfoxok:  try www.winehq.org
[09:51] <Kraklok> does Ubuntu64 support 16Gb of RAM out-of-the-box ?
[09:51] <ephemient> revx: give that a try
[09:52] <livingdaylight> Also with Epiphany.... i install epiphany but dont' see it in applications menu... hten i install epiphany gecko and it is in menu list... then i remove epiphany gecko and it remains in menu list....
[09:52] <newguyss> Hi, iam going to buy a virtual server now, any recommendation, I prefer ubuntu, so is there any company where they rent them?
[09:52] <wasabi_> blackfoxok, or sudo apt-get install wine
[09:53] <livingdaylight> when i remove something with apt it should reflect that fact in applications menu, no?
[09:53] <ephemient> livingdaylight: it should, unless you've made changes to the menu yourself
[09:53] <Lifeisfunny> to use wine won't you have to have the exe program installed in a windows partition ?
[09:54] <wers> before, the desktop icon of my flv file is a preview of the video. now, it looks like a blank paper
[09:54] <livingdaylight> ephemient, all i've done is install epiphany... but it wasn't there in menu... then i remove something else and it continues to show in menu list...
[09:54] <wers> how do I make the flv icon look like a preview of the video again?
[09:54] <ephemient> livingdaylight: odd. Gnome, Xfce, KDE, other?
[09:54] <livingdaylight> ephemient, Gnome
[09:55] <ephemient> livingdaylight: really odd. Gnome is the most agressive at making sure the menu matches what you actually have :-/

[10:03] <amidaniel> muir71: I believe it's a simple image file somewhere that you need to change
[10:03] <muir71> well, everyone says go to the Longin Window manager and change the background color there, i have but it's still brown...
[10:03] <amidaniel> ty, Tm_T
[10:04] <amidaniel> muir71: Well, are you trying to change the splash screen or the log-in window?
[10:04] <ephemient> crdlb, wasabi_: well, that's surprising.  to do that, you'd have to redirect the plugin to an offscreen drawable, and do compositing yourself...
[10:04] <Tm_T> l3: english only
[10:04] <muir71> the background of the splash screen...i already have the image put in it, now i just need the background color changed
[10:04] <ephemient> crdlb, wasabi_: and handle input forwarding, which is another pain to implement.  but props to them, for working on it :)
[10:04] <Mely2> Who can help me fix my screen resolution?

[10:09] <caf2007> hi there, I need help I'm a Windows user and would like to start using ubunto
[10:09] <alimoe> caf2007: jsut ask
[10:09] <caf2007> thanks alimoe
[10:09] <alimoe> *just
[10:09] <wasabi_> alimoe, http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-the-realplayer-multimedia-player but try googling it first next time
[10:10] <caf2007> I have downloaded a life CD version yesterday
[10:10] <Mely2> I just installed Ubuntu Linux and am a first time user and need help with my screen resolution. Can anyone assist?
[10:10] <alimoe> wasabi_: i hv been there!
[10:10] <wasabi_> alimoe, that doens't work?
[10:10] <caf2007> burned it on a CD and tried to intsall it on my older laptop
[10:11] <alimoe> wasabi_: yeah
[10:11] <wasabi_> alimoe, gusty?
[10:11] <asc> Is it possible to use TwinView and use a different device for each monitor?
[10:11] <alimoe> wasabi_: wats that?
[10:11] <Mely2> How do I fix my screen resolution?
[10:11] <wasabi_> alimoe, gusty gibbons
[10:11] <caf2007> it takes endless time to boot and then it took me the whole day just to get to the part where it says it is checking the disk to install
[10:11] <Mely2> I have Gusty Gibbons and need help with my screen resolution.
[10:12] <Marthy> hi
[10:12] <alimoe> wasabi_: come on, im a new ubuntu user
[10:12] <caf2007> I tried several times to do it again and again it just doesn't get any faster
[10:12] <scott__> Hi all, I am trying to send email via SMTP and I am getting an error "must issue a STARTTLS command first".... does anybody know how to fix this?  (I am programming in Ruby)
[10:12] <wasabi_> alimoe, what exactly is the error you're getting?
[10:13] <ephemient> caf2007: the LiveCD is much slower than a real install, because CDs are much slower at reading and seeking than hard disks
[10:13] <mohkohn> the one really anoying problem with my laptop is the battery
[10:13] <alimoe> wasabi_: package not found
[10:13] <wasabi_> oh
[10:13] <ephemient> caf2007: this only gets worse on underpowered systems, because the LiveCD has to temporarily load a lot more things into RAM
[10:13] <mohkohn> I can see it is charging or unplugged but not how much charge is left.
[10:13] <ephemient> caf2007: if you find that the LiveCD is too slow, use the Alternate CD to install
[10:13] <asc> It shouldn't be that slow though unless it's on really old hardware
[10:13] <w7> \s mesra.dal.net
[10:13] <xcs> hello ppl !!
[10:13] <mohkohn> Any tips how to fix?
[10:13] <asc> I once had one that was very slow, and it turned out the CD was bad
[10:14] <scott__> The Live CD will naturally be slower than the installed version
[10:14] <caf2007> it is a Pentium 3 where I use windows 2000 without any problems
[10:14] <mohkohn> lsmod shows battery
[10:14] <asc> It should not take "the whole day", however
[10:14] <ephemient> caf2007, asc: true, especially if you can hear the CD continually seeking to re-read the same sectors, you may not have a "good" burn
[10:14] <alimoe> wasabi_: "package has no installation candidate"
[10:14] <caf2007> I have also on this machine fedora but I don't like it
[10:14] <Lumpy^> hey, i got adsl connection and im looking for program that can handle the connection, is there somthing that i can define that once in a day it will change my ip or just disconnect and recoonect?
[10:14] <wasabi_> try this http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg34t4.htm
[10:15] <wasabi_> alimoe, http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg34t4.htm
[10:15] <scott__> Anybody know a thing or two about SMTP servers?
[10:15] <caf2007> okay I'm downloading the alternate version now
[10:15] <alimoe> wasabi_, k
[10:15] <ephemient> alimoe: I thought that RealPlayer was in Canonical's Parter repository
[10:15] <punzada> anyone here have any experience with a hauppage wintv pvr250 card and a regular coaxial cable connection? the card doesn't seem to be decoding the signal properly
[10:15] <wasabi_> alimoe, i see exactly what you're saying. i saw a guide for real player a while back. but i don't use it myself so i don't know where it is
[10:16] <wasabi_> ephemient, i thought so too. but it doesn't work when you install with apt
[10:16] <alimoe> wasabi_ doesnt matter anyway im just used 2 it, i'll try to adopt without it
[10:16] <wasabi_> alimoe, if you just want the browser plugin
[10:17] <wasabi_> alimoe, you can install the helix mozilla plug in. sudo apt-get install mozilla-helix-player
[10:17] <alimoe> wasabi_, i got all da plugins nw
[10:17] <caf2007> ephemient, thanks for your help so far I'm going to try what you suggested
[10:17] <Lumpy^> anyone knows about a name of app?
[10:17] <wasabi_> alimoe, kay
[10:17] <alimoe> wasabi_, is that gud?
[10:18] <wasabi_> alimoe, gud?
[10:18] <wasabi_> alimoe, gud = good?
[10:18] <ephemient> Lumpy^: man 5 crontab
[10:18] <alimoe> wasabi_, gud=good
[10:18] <wasabi_> alimoe, it works for me.
[10:18] <alimoe> wasabi_, k
[10:19] <wasabi_> give it a try. if not then i would search or make a post on the forum
[10:19] <alimoe> k
[10:19] <wasabi_> that usually has everything you need
[10:19] <ephemient> Lumpy^: I don't know if there's any graphical interface to it, but cron is installed by default, and exists to repeatedly run scheduled actions
[10:19] <scott__> Anybody know anything about SMTP, i've been searching Google and can't find what I'm looking for
[10:20] <kane77> scott__, what are you looking for?
[10:20] <alimoe> scott_, SMTP for what?
[10:21] <scott__> i am writing a script in Ruby that sends an email message to myself whenever a certain action happens (namely a stock-price goes below a certain price)
[10:21] <scott__> and i am getting this error message: "must issue a STARTTLS command first"
[10:21] <zasf> scott__: ssmtp is what you're looking for
[10:22] <zasf> 2.61-11ubuntu1 extremely simple MTA to get mail off the sys
[10:22] <ephemient> scott__: so the mail server you are using requires the use of SSL
[10:22] <alimoe> outgoing email server???
[10:22] <zasf> but there must be an easier way with ruby
[10:23] <ephemient> scott__: see if you can find a Ruby library which can handle this, or set up a mail forwarder on your own system
[10:23] <scott__> ephemient:  well basically i am creating a script that crawls this stock webpage and finds the stock quote that i am looking for, and it will notify me whenever the price goes below a certain threshold
[10:23] <brandon__> quick question, how do i install themes in xfce?
[10:23] <brandon__> do i make a folder in home called .themes ?
[10:23] <ephemient> scott__: I don't really care what it does ;)
[10:24] <scott__> haha ok
[10:24] <scott__> pardon my excessive explanations
[10:24] <ephemient> scott__: your problems connecting to the mail server come from the mail server requiring SSL
[10:24] <ephemient> scott__: so either get a Ruby library which can handle this, or use another program which can handle this
[10:25] <scott__> ephemient: thank you i will try that
