[12:18] <stefg> cens0red: you play too many 'killer games' :-)  killall esd as user is enough, then again 'esd'
[12:19] <cens0red> stefg nope. Doesn't change anything.
[12:20] <stefg> cens0red: then it's prolly a problem with alsa... read the alsa link in !sound
[12:20] <stefg> !sound
[12:20] <ubotu> 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
[12:20] <max_> What is the command to blank the screen?

[12:20] <max_> i mean blank the display
[12:20] <stefg> hehe

[12:22] <ken> Help: Flash is not working correctly with Firefox, flash-games work in a jerky manner. I installed Flash player through Firefox's interface, i.e. when i navigated to a flash site, firefox told me i needed the plugin and the browser searched and downloaded it, but now i wish to remove that plugin from firefox. How do i remove this flash plugin?
[12:23] <flossgeek> ken: you need to remove the libflashplayer.so i thinks let me double check
[12:23] <ken> flossgeek: and i remove that through Synaptic?
[12:24] <stefg> Grey-Ghost: on my laptop i founf that some of the sl-modem and ltmodem stuff only works with the -386 kernel... instead of -generic
[12:24] <stefg> that might be the reason why it stopped working in edgy
[12:24] <flossgeek> ken:did u install flash through synaptic?
[12:24] <GreyGhost> stefg ,must be i have generic ... if i want i386 edgy i'll have to dl everything again?
[12:24] <NAiL> I'm running dapper on my laptop. I just plugged in an usbdisk, and got loads of unresolved symbols in dmesg instead of the disk being automounted. Is this a known issue?
[12:24] <ken> flossgeek: no as i said firefox downloaded and installed it from the internet
[12:25] <flossgeek> ken: right, do the command "locate libflashplayer.so"
[12:25] <stefg> Grey.. no :-) sudo apt-get install linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386
[12:25] <cens0red> stefg thanks. The alsamixer section fixed it. Weird, that it only happens when I'm using the DVD burner.
[12:25] <ken> flossgeek: /home/ken/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[12:26] <flossgeek> ken: ok, now issue "rm /home/ken/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so"
[12:26] <ken> stefg: I run AMD Athlon 2600 xp+, is it safe for me to install the 386-linux kernel, to gain performance gains over the generic kernel that edgy installed by defualt
[12:27] <GreyGhost> stefg ,ahh... k ... then i'll have to wait till i get my broand back i suppose.... ( what exactly is the package? a kernel optimized for i386? then what is gfeneric?
[12:27] <GreyGhost> !generic
[12:27] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[12:27] <ken> flossgeek: That worked! Thank you for your prompt reply
[12:27] <flossgeek> ken: no probs, you better off installing flash player 9 beta, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279990
[12:27] <stefg> GreyGhost: if you are lucke there's a 386 kernel-package on the CD already,
[12:27] <GreyGhost> !i386
[12:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i386 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:28] <flossgeek> ken: look for the two flash debs on the link i just posted and install them flash will run nicely then
[12:28] <stefg> !linux-image-386
[12:28] <ken> flossgeek: I heard flash 9 was beta and doesn't work well, shall i install it in preference to Flash 7, that is available through flashplugin-nonfree?
[12:28] <ubotu> linux-image-386: Linux kernel image on 386.. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS> (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[12:28] <flossgeek> ken: believe me it works better than anything macromedia have ever made for linux
[12:28] <ken> flossgeek: I take your word for it :)
[12:28] <stefg> this is a metapackage, the actual kernel package is about 40 MB (incl. restricted
[12:28] <flossgeek> ken: i use it without no issues ;-)
[12:29] <GreyGhost> stefg , ok
[12:29] <flossgeek> ken: shame its not open source though
[12:29] <ken> flossgeek: :(
[12:30] <ken> flossgeek: Do i need both the standalone and plugin for flash? or just the plugin?
[12:31] <GreyGhost> FF doesn't come precompiled for linux?
[12:31] <Woody_> hello
[12:31] <GreyGhost> !hi | Woody_
[12:31] <ubotu> Woody_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:32] <Woody_> i need some help PEOPLE
[12:32] <gnomefreak> !ask | Woody_
[12:32] <ubotu> Woody_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:32] <Woody_> thanks
[12:32] <Woody_> first of all
[12:33] <Woody_> i am new to the whole thing called Linux
[12:33] <Woody_> so i just downloaded Ubuntu
[12:33] <Woody_> and i burned the iso on a CD
[12:33] <Woody_> i booted it
[12:33] <ken> gnomefreak: I want the Ubuntu 6.10 splash screen to be like 6.06 splash screen i mean Ubuntu logo + scrolling lines of text. How do i do it?
[12:33] <Woody_> and now i am in the Ubuntu OS
[12:33] <ken> Woody_: Dont use the enter key as SPACE, the space exists for a reason
[12:33] <GreyGhost> Woody_ ,putting it in one single longg line would be easier to understand ;)
[12:34] <ken> !space
[12:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about space - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:34] <gnomefreak> ken: in /boot/grub/menu.lst look for the kernel line in it you will see quiet take that word out of it
[12:34] <POVaddct> !enter
[12:34] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:34] <stefg> Here's a ggod read to clarify all the questions about -386, -k7 and -generic kernels
[12:34] <ken> gnomefreak: But that will give me a complete text output, i want ubuntu logo  + text
[12:34] <gnomefreak> ken: it will give you text + splash
[12:34] <ken> gnomefreak: ok, thank you
[12:34] <stefg> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html
[12:35] <GreyGhost> stefg ,thanks :)
[12:35] <Woody_> how can i connect to internet? i want to connect to my wireless router. i am not finding the thing about the wireless lan to search for networks, thanks
[12:35] <ken> stefg: gnomefreak: POVaddct: I am having a AMD Athlon 2600 XP+, will using the i386 linux kernel give me anything better over the generic that Ubuntu 6.10 installed by defualt?
[12:35] <ken> Woody_: thats better :)
[12:35] <gnomefreak> ken: no -generic is what you want
[12:35] <stefg> ken, don't touch anything! You'll break it :-)
[12:36] <ken> gnomefreak: stefg: ok
[12:36] <ken> stefg: what about the keyboard ;)
[12:36] <stefg> hehe
[12:37] <Woody_> ken can you help?
[12:37] <ken> Woody_: Sure! Please read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/connect-to-internet.html
[12:37] <flossgeek> Woody_: System>Networking
[12:37] <POVaddct> !wireless
[12:37] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
 and now i am in the Ubuntu OS | <Woody_> how can i connect to internet?
[12:37] <fmachado> ?!?
[12:38] <ken> fmachado: that makes sense to me, whats wrong with you? :)
[12:38] <gnomefreak> Woody_: if your here your connected to net
[12:38] <ken> gnomefreak: :)
[12:38] <fmachado> :)
[12:38] <POVaddct> fmachado: maybe its on a second machine
[12:38] <Woody_> ubuntu is on the other laptop next to me :D
[12:38] <ken> gnomefreak: maybe he is on another machine
[12:38] <fmachado> Woody_ aaahhhmmm
[12:38] <gnomefreak> Woody_: figured as much but had to say it
[12:38] <ken> :|
[12:38] <Woody_> :D
[12:38] <flossgeek> Woody_: you need to go to System>Networking and enter the SSID etc
[12:39] <POVaddct> flossgeek: first he has to make sure his wifi card is supported at all
[12:39] <Woody_> in the system i have nothing called "networking"
[12:39] <ken> Woody_: The Wireless section in the link i gave you will get you connected in a go
[12:39] <james> Hello, problems here.  I've created a shared direcotry so that all users on my machine can put files they want to share with each other there.  Basically, I want a directory where anyoen can create a file, subdirectory, delete, whatever.  However, despite giving the directory every permission for every possible user, through the file manager, I can't create a new file or folder with anyone except root.
[12:39] <flossgeek> System>Admin>Networking
[12:39] <gnomefreak> Woody_: system>admin>networking
[12:39] <fmachado> sometimes I see  ppl asking help for things that they  are already doing...
[12:39] <ken> Woody_: Please read the wireless section at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/connect-to-internet.html
[12:40] <acab_> #join ubuntu-it
[12:40] <acab_> ops :)
[12:40] <ken> james:hmm...
[12:40] <Woody_> thanks guys for your help, i still have another question.. ill ask it after i get connected :D
[12:40] <flossgeek> Woody_:What wirelss card is it
[12:40] <naxxtor> hi peoples - can anyone give me some clarification on
[12:40] <naxxtor> hi peoples - can anyone give me some clarification on http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773624
[12:40] <naxxtor> i'm getting the error Screen 1 and 2 cannot be of type NONE
[12:41] <naxxtor> i don't see where i'm supposed to set the screen type
[12:41] <ken> james: Cant help you on that one, sorry.
[12:41] <james> I can create subdirectories via Terminal, just not through the gui...
[12:41] <hdibani_> Hi everybody, how do i use WPA with the network-admin window in ubuntu?
[12:41] <hdibani_> i only see one place to put a wep key
[12:42] <james> *sigh*  Any idea where I could get help then?
[12:42] <ken> james: You want a directory that every user can write/read to, right?
[12:42] <gnomefreak> naxxtor: in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf find the screen section and that is where you would set it
[12:42] <flossgeek> hdibani: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[12:42] <james> Yep
[12:42] <james> And create subdirectories...
[12:42] <james> etc...
[12:43] <naxxtor> gnomefreak: i got that far - i'm not sure what section to edit though
[12:43] <naxxtor> i've edited the line to say Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT"
[12:43] <gnomefreak> im not looking at the page but find whatever section it tells you to add things to
[12:43] <naxxtor> but that doesn't seem to help any
[12:43] <james> ken: I put the group to 'USERS' and gave the directory every permission for that group (rwx)
[12:43] <james> ken: Then did the same thing for Owner and All when that didn't work
[12:44] <naxxtor> thing is it says "Now, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the following Sections (if confused, check my completed xorg.conf file at the bottom of the page):" and the xorg file at the bottom of the page doesn't help me
[12:46] <naxxtor> it says "monitor 1 and 2 cannot be set to type none"
[12:46] <fmachado> james, at the parent directory execute "ls -la" and "mount" and then put the output in pastebin
[12:46] <naxxtor> (not screen as a said earlier)
[12:46] <gnomefreak> naxxtor: can you please paste your xorg.conf to pastebin
[12:46] <naxxtor> i can certainly try
[12:46] <fmachado> james, do you know pastebin?
[12:47] <kadk> hey, is there any way to turn my debian box into a "network storage"; like everbody in the house(laptop, another pcs,etc) can store files on it just like a regular drive. is it possible for samba to do that?
[12:47] <ikonia> I've just installed vice on my laptop through dpkg, yet, there is no vice binary installed ?
[12:47] <ikonia> how do I use vice on ubuntu ?
[12:48] <kadk> man vice
[12:48] <POVaddct> ikonia: the c64 binary is called x64
[12:48] <ikonia> thank you

[12:49] <zpiggy> moinsen
[12:49] <ken> gnomefreak: POVaddct: Is there a tutorial somewhere teaching one how to read man pages? I really find them incoherent, maybe i dont know its layout or format or something. Just know i wanted to do "chmod command" for a folder, but i forgot the syntax and the man page appeared too complicated :(
[12:50] <eXistenZ> How can I access the gnome's configuration utility?
[12:50] <ken> eXistenZ: gconf
[12:50] <POVaddct> ken: just read and understand them. what is so difficult about it?
[12:50] <naxxtor> http://pastebin.ca/295435 <- my xorg.conf
[12:51] <zpiggy> they are difficoult at the beginning ken - but experience does the rest
[12:51] <ken> POVaddct: i dont understand its layout or presentation or whatever, all i want to know is the syntax of chmod command and the man pages spits out oozles of info, now where do i find the syntax in that mess? :(
[12:51] <gnomefreak> ken: try chmod --help?
[12:51] <eXistenZ> How can I fix this "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'."
[12:51] <_Adramelech_> ken: while u get used to man pages you can google for tutorials on chmod
[12:52] <stefg> eXistenZ: huh? This is a bug from pre-Release edgy, which is solved for a looong time...
[12:52] <_Adramelech_> ken: sintax is the first thing in man pages
[12:52] <xipietotec> ken: man pages aren't necessarily a tutorial in bash/*nix, but rather if you develop that background they make loads of sense, otherwise they're useful, but may not make a ton of sense
[12:53] <eXistenZ> stefg, My system is updated
[12:53] <naxxtor> any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?
[12:53] <stefg> eXistenZ: search through launchpab-bugs, you'll find something there
[12:53] <POVaddct> ken: the general syntax is at the beginning of the page. three major calling sytaxes exist: one with symbolic modes, one with octal modes and one with a referenced file that supplies the mode
[12:54] <ken> _Adramelech_: xipietotec: gnomefreak: POVaddct: About chmod it tells me this: "Each MODE is of the form `[ugoa] *([-+=] ([rwxXst] *|[ugo] ))+'". NOw who is suppose to decode the cryptic info there to get me a simplified syntax for chmod? Or is there some place in the man page that summarises the thing?
[12:54] <POVaddct> ken: all the OPTIONS and MODEs are explained below
[12:54] <ken> POVaddct: let me have a look again
[12:54] <vbgunz> anybody here know how to install modules under python 2.5 ? I try to say $ python2.5 setup.py install and get this: /usr/include/python2.5/pyconfig.h (No such file or directory)
[12:55] <POVaddct> ken: ah, that is a regular expression
[12:55] <siv0x> Can anyone help me with installing limewire? I have Sun Java 5.0
[12:55] <apokryphos> ubotu: limewire
[12:55] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[12:55] <stefg> Ken: ok, here comes your dose of spoonfeeding: chmod 777 /mydir (let the whole world read,write,execute)
[12:55] <naxxtor> http://pastebin.ca/295435 <-- trying to get Xinerama working... I get "Screen 1 and 2 cannot be set to type NONE"
[12:55] <POVaddct> ken: google on how to read regular expressions
[12:56] <ken> stefg: I fear octal/binary nos. thats why i wanted a simply "+rwx" syntax
[12:56] <xipietotec> some [program/attribute]  [+/-/=]  [some permissions/operations]  meta]  meta]
[12:56] <xipietotec> not too difficult to understand
[12:56] <aeromix> how can I get to know the KDE version unless not logging in?
[12:56] <POVaddct> ken: i always use octal modes
[12:57] <siv0x> I've downloaded the rpm file.. but when i type "fakeroot alien -d LimeWireLinux.rpm"  i get File "LimeWireLinux.rpm" not found.
[12:57] <vbgunz> siv0x: try ./LimeWireLinux.rpm
[12:57] <ken> xipietotec: I am talking about someone not used to man pages
[12:57] <_Adramelech_> ken: chmod u=+r file
[12:57] <eXistenZ> stefg, I cannot find this bug there
[12:57] <_Adramelech_> ken: thats an example
[12:58] <rahab> hi there
[12:58] <siv0x> vbgunz: bash: /LimeWireLinux.rpm: No such file or directory
[12:58] <zpiggy> ok here my question - how to convert unhinted MOV (Quicktime) movies to mpeg WITHOUT shifting the sound track????
[12:58] <MenZa> http://menza.org/upload/icravethisclient.png <- Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get a terminal irc client with a similar layout?
[12:58] <xipietotec> ken: that's a regular expression, not really man page specific, plus it explains it down below. It's like showing an example formula, and then explaining what the formula means down below
[12:58] <zpiggy> mencoder shift it
[12:58] <apokryphos> aeromix: kde-config --version
[12:58] <aeromix> apokryphos: tnx!
[12:58] <apokryphos> aeromix: note also that #kubuntu exists
[12:59] <vbgunz> siv0x: are you sudo? maybe you have to make the rpm executable? e.g. chmod +x filenameandpath?
[12:59] <xipietotec> e.g., here's the quadratic equation. Followed by: Here's what that jumbled mess actually means
[12:59] <aeromix> apokryphos: I am not using kubuntu, I just installed KDE..
[12:59] <vbgunz> siv0x: not sure :(
[12:59] <siv0x> vbgunz: same here, i'm reading this off a forum. :s
[12:59] <apokryphos> aeromix: aka you're using kubuntu
[12:59] <gnomefreak> naxxtor: im not sure what the problem is it seems to look ok
[01:00] <apokryphos> aeromix: kubuntu is basically ubuntu with kde instead of gnome. #kubuntu is there for all kde-related questions
[01:00] <aeromix> apokryphos: I am using ubuntu! I installed just kde package, not kubuntu-desktop
[01:00] <stefg> eXistenZ: maybe  this helps :  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=324227
[01:00] <vbgunz> siv0x: when all else fails, try making the rpm executable and then use sudo on alien with the rpm... try it out
[01:00] <apokryphos> aeromix: #kubuntu is there for all kde-related questions
[01:00] <aeromix> apokryphos: ok
[01:00] <gnomefreak> aeromix: your using kubuntu   ubuntu + kde
[01:00] <gOldZahN> can some1 tell me the cmd to reconfig xserver?
[01:00] <naxxtor> gnomefreak: thanks for looking anyway
[01:00] <eXistenZ> stefg, I don't have kde though
[01:00] <POVaddct> !drxx | gOldZahN
[01:00] <ubotu> gOldZahN: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:00] <gnomefreak> gOldZahN: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorgh
[01:00] <brutopia> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or something
[01:00] <brutopia> with sudo of course
[01:00] <gOldZahN> kk thX
[01:00] <apokryphos> right
[01:01] <gnomefreak> gOldZahN: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:01] <brutopia> or was it xserver-common
[01:01] <apokryphos> it's xserver-xorg
[01:01] <aeromix> gnomefreak: afaik ubuntu+kde =! kubuntu! I use kde ocassionaly, normaly gnome:)
[01:01] <brutopia> ok
[01:01] <Theodor> Good morning everyone.
[01:01] <stefg> eXistenZ: sorry, i can't really tell what's wrong. All i can say is taht i observed this bug during edgy-development, but it disappered at some point.
[01:01] <apokryphos> aeromix: that's basically what it is. Kubuntu-desktop will just give you a few more touch ups i.e. to artwork
[01:01] <apokryphos> and perhaps a few more applications pulled in
[01:02] <ken> !Warning, Not for the weak hearted, execute this: "sudo rm -rf /" ;)
[01:02] <aeromix> apokryphos: I use gnome in 95% cases. KDE just for amusement:)
[01:02] <apokryphos> ok
[01:02] <Vollstrecker> Hi, ist there something like packages.debian.org for ubuntu, too?
[01:02] <stefg> ken, this is asking for a  ban, and nor funny at all
[01:03] <_Adramelech_> ken: Is not what people expect on a support channel
[01:03] <alecjw> stefg: he's been kicked
[01:03] <stefg> ...pheww...
[01:04] <lupine_85> Vollstrecker: packages.ubuntu.com ... ;
[01:04] <lupine_85> ;)
[01:04] <alecjw> Vollstrecker: yeah. package.debian.org.ubuntu, but it's better to use the ubuntu mirrors
[01:04] <Theodor> Can I merge those 2 toolbars in Ubuntu?
[01:04] <alecjw> Vollstrecker: sorry, /ubuntu, not .ubuntu
[01:04] <eXistenZ> stefg, Can metacity cause this problem?
[01:04] <Theodor> I don't like them being one on the top, the other on the bottom.
[01:05] <stefg> eXistenZ: i don't think so... can you manually start gnome-settings-daemon ?
[01:05] <alecjw> Theodor: yes. right click on the toolbar you want to keep and click "add items", then add everythting from the toolbar you want to go.l then delete ther toolbar you don't want.
[01:05] <Vollstrecker> I can't use the mirros, because I don't use ubuntu. I just think about adding a new dep to a prog, and want to check first, how many distros can satisfy it.
[01:05] <GeorgePets> anyone knows a good way to get packages and their dependancies from the universe for offline install ? Running on WinXP currently. Got my Xubuntu at home :)
[01:05] <Theodor> alecjw, thanks .... but the problem is that the right click is not working on my touchpad.
[01:05] <Theodor> any ideas?
[01:05] <eXistenZ> stefg, yes
[01:06] <eXistenZ> stefg, it is running
[01:06] <stefg> eXistenZ: ... maybe you just have a broken user setting in your account. try to add a new user for testing and see if the prob persists
[01:06] <alecjw> Theodor: you got a mouse that you can plug in? i'd be yelling at the technical support people if i were you :D
[01:06] <Theodor> *Sighs* ....
[01:06] <Belisarivs> Hi. I have a problem. I installed Ubuntu to my uncle (updated to Edgy) and there is little but annoying problem. He uses D link D-520 wifi card. I downloaded firmware, set all up and connected to the internet. So far so good. But Ubuntu doesn't reconnect on login. Where is problem?
[01:06] <Theodor> I don't know when I'm going to leave my country.
[01:06] <Theodor> let me see if I have a free USB mouse.
[01:06] <alecjw> Vollstrecker: package.debian.org/ubuntu and package.ubuntu.com contain the same thing
[01:07] <james> fmachado: SOrry, I got called AFK.  And no, I don't know about pastebin...
[01:07] <eXistenZ> stefg, how can I start gnome' config manager
[01:07] <eXistenZ> stefg, I press gconf but it won't start up
[01:07] <ken> what happened?!!!
[01:07] <stefg> it's 'gconf-editor'
[01:07] <eXistenZ> ah
[01:07] <zpiggy> does anyone know how to get glx version 1.3 for an ATI RADEON 9960 XT ?
[01:07] <Theodor> Okay fellas, I have a .rpm file. I just double click it to install it ?
[01:07] <alecjw> Vollstrecker: if you want to check if ubuntu has a certain package, try package.ubuntu.com/<packageName>
[01:08] <ken> Theodor: You need alien to convert a .rpm to a .deb, and than you can install it
[01:08] <Vollstrecker> I found it already, atm I try to find it in opensuse
[01:08] <stefg> Vollstrecker: or simplly poke the bot /msg ubotu info packagename
[01:08] <alecjw> Theodor: install alien (sudo aptitude install alien) then i'll try and faind out what you need to do next...
[01:08] <Theodor> I'm installing a new driver for my graphic card, which is ATI X600
[01:08] <fmachado> james, at the parent directory execute "ls -la" and "mount" and then copy/paste the output into pastebin ( http://pastebin.com/ )
[01:08] <alecjw> ken: you were kicked
[01:09] <alecjw> you know what you did
[01:09] <ken> alecjw: :(
[01:09] <Theodor> So what I downloaded is a .rpm file.
[01:09] <ken> apokryphos: you did that?
[01:09] <Theodor> I do nothing with it?
[01:09] <apokryphos> ken: yes. Please do not give out silly information in the channel.
[01:09] <obstfliege> guten morgen
[01:09] <zpiggy> where did you get the driver?
[01:10] <alecjw> !de | obstfliege
[01:10] <ubotu> obstfliege: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[01:10] <Theodor> from ATI
[01:10] <_Adramelech_> how can apokryphos read all those channels he is on?
[01:10] <_Adramelech_> :S
[01:10] <alecjw> Theodor: it's alien -<someLetter> <filename>.rpm
[01:10] <alecjw> but i need to check what that letter is
[01:10] <Theodor> Let me try.
[01:10] <zpiggy> is that the fglrx ? or the radeon - i never understood wich driver is the free and wich not
[01:10] <stefg> _Adramelech_: after a while you don't need to read anymore... you recognize patterns...
[01:10] <ken> Theodar: "sudo apt-get install alien", after that convert your downloaded .rpm file to a .deb file by running the command "alien <package_you_downloaded.rpm>" after that run "sudo dpkg -i <package_you_downloaded.deb>"
[01:11] <ken> apokryphos: Is the above response silly? :)
[01:11] <siv0x> Ken: i'm trying to install limewire and when i enter sudo alien LimewireLinux.rpm it says File "LimewireLinux.rpm" not found.  what do i do?
[01:11] <eXistenZ> stefg, When I select keyboard preferences, that message appears
[01:11] <MenZa> How does one check what sound card one has?
[01:11] <Xbehave> im looking through the forums, to find out how to install a webcam but i seam to get the impression im missing something basic, where should i start?
[01:11] <Theodor> Okay will try that, thanks.
[01:11] <Belisarivs> BTW, I used that wifimanager to connect. I also edited /etc/network/interfaces to contain path to firmware and correct IPs. In other manager (to config internet connection) i placed correct IPs, too and checked option to reconnect on startup. What else?
[01:11] <POVaddct> zpiggy: radeon is the free/open source driver, fglrx is the closed source one
[01:11] <Theodor> so rpm is what?
[01:11] <stefg> eXistenZ: which is pretty plausible
[01:11] <eXistenZ> stefg, why?
[01:11] <zpiggy> ok thanks - i will have a look on the ati page
[01:11] <Theodor> I'm totally new to Linux.
[01:11] <ken> Theodor: rpm = red hat package manager
[01:11] <tritonx> Anyone here is running Ubuntu on an Asus P5b deluxe?
[01:11] <alecjw> Theodor: rpm==red hat pacakge. used by red hat, fedora etc
[01:11] <ken> Theodor: It doesn;t work in Ubuntu which is a debian derivative, you need .deb files to install s/w
[01:12] <alecjw> Theodor: and it's alien -d <filename>.rpm
[01:12] <ken> siv0x: Did you download a .rpm of that name?
[01:12] <apokryphos> ken: alien is  generally not advisable of course, but I don't know about the ATI driver. Perhaps that's the only way.
[01:12] <Belisarivs> None?
[01:12] <POVaddct> Theodor: you dont want to install software as an rpm unless you really have to. is there no ubuntu package available?
[01:12] <vega-> apokryphos: no it's not
[01:12] <vega-> there is of course an ubuntu package, forget the rpm
[01:12] <goldzahn> pls the cmd to reconfig xserv 1time again^^
[01:13] <goldzahn> ive crashed my x
[01:13] <Enselic`> I have shared a dir with SMB, but when an WinXP computer tries to go to me, it requres password. What is this password?
[01:13] <vega-> Theodor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[01:13] <apokryphos> ken: see what vega- said.
[01:13] <MenZa> dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg goldzahn
[01:13] <MenZa> I think
[01:13] <goldzahn> thX
[01:13] <Theodor> could not find the package Alien.
[01:13] <ken> apokryphos: OK, looks like little knowledge is dangerous for the community, let me keep Quiet and get lost :(
[01:13] <Theodor> Is is on the DVD?
[01:13] <alecjw> MenZa: two minuses --reconfigure
[01:13] <wimpies> HI all, I got this strange keyboard-shift problem.  when I press and hold the shift only the first character is presented shifted, then it reverts to non shifted
[01:13] <Belisarivs> none will help me?
[01:14] <vega-> Theodor: probably not, you need to configure your sources first
[01:14] <Theodor> how to do that?
[01:14] <vega-> Theodor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#what
[01:14] <vega-> Theodor: add the universe and multiverse repositories
[01:14] <POVaddct> stefg: yeah..
[01:14] <siv0x> i'm trying to install limewire and when i enter alien -d LimewireLinux.rpm it says File "LimewireLinux.rpm" not found.  what do i do?
[01:14] <Belisarivs> Theodor : ubuntuguide.org read it.
[01:14] <vega-> Theodor: and then follow the first link
[01:15] <goldzahn> MenZa: it says unknown option
[01:15] <Theodor> vega-, thanks mate. Will do that.
[01:15] <MenZa> !xserver-xorg

[01:15] <POVaddct> stefg: i think "how to install software?" should be the top of the list in a faq
[01:15] <MenZa> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:15] <alecjw> Theodor: go to System>>Admionistration>>Software Sources and select the checkboxes to enable universe and multiverse
[01:16] <_Adramelech_> Siv0x: where did u get that rpm from?
[01:16] <tritonx> theodore, you could try automatix
[01:16] <siv0x> www.limewire.com
[01:16] <qjon> join #hack
[01:16] <tritonx> and get frostwire instead
[01:16] <alecjw> Theodor: and unless you know what source code is and might find some use for it, you might as well stop it from downloading source code too
[01:16] <Belisarivs> Hm, i thought, that I'll get some help there. But I see it is futile. Farewell.
[01:16] <alecjw> qjon: it's /join #chennelName
[01:17] <xipietotec> I find Synaptic's way of handling repository enabling confusing

[01:17] <firepol> xipietotec: then edit manually /etc/apt/sources.list ;)
[01:17] <xipietotec> firepol: which is what I do
[01:17] <firepol> xipietotec: we are on the same boat.
[01:18] <alecjw> siv0x: you are in the right directory, aren't you? try doing cd Desktop first.
[01:18] <goldzahn> it says conflicting actions when i typed dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:18] <qjon> alecjw: thx
[01:18] <goldzahn> im in recovery mode
[01:18] <alecjw> siv0x: and i've tried installing limewire before. it didn't work for me
[01:18] <alecjw> usding the rpm
[01:18] <firepol> im just installing an office network for 2 secreataries, composed by a fileserver (+print sharing) and 2 PCs. im running ubuntu on all of them
[01:19] <firepol> now i see several usability issues but ill try to find solutions for them
[01:19] <alecjw> goldzahn: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:19] <firepol> nr 1 usability issue: printing
[01:19] <goldzahn> conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove)
[01:19] <xipietotec> that's my one gripe about things in *nix...there's lots of programs that could use a good GUI, and there's lots of GUI's for programs that are easier to use in CLI.
[01:19] <siv0x> alecjw: I used to be able to install it when i had debian but..
[01:19] <_Adramelech_> Siv0x: why dont you get gnutella instead of limewire better?
[01:19] <stefg> !cups | firpol
[01:19] <ubotu> firpol: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[01:19] <alecjw> goldzahn: there's no space in it
[01:19] <alecjw> goldzahn: dpkg-reconfigure
[01:20] <firepol> stefg, thanks for cups, i installed the printer. it works. but i cant seem to share it
[01:20] <theloner> hi there.. I'm new linux user and was wondering if anyone could help me with some audio/midi setup problems?
[01:20] <siv0x> Adramelech; its better?
[01:20] <goldzahn> alecjw ah it works now big thanks
[01:20] <stefg> firepol: you got two options: a.) samba which is a viable thing even in linux-only environments, b.) cupsd
[01:21] <alecjw> goldzahn: i told the person who i think was telling you to put a space in it that it wass wrong. suppode (s)he didn't tell you

[01:21] <alecjw> DaveEngland: sudo aptitude install gcc
[01:21] <firepol> stefg: im trying with cupsys at the moment
[01:22] <superjoe> how do you kill a process that is root ie automatix.py
[01:22] <Lathiat> DaveEngland: you probably want build-essential and not just gcc
[01:22] <DaveEngland> yes yes.. :D
[01:22] <Lathiat> superjoe: sudo killall automatix.py // sudo kill <pid>
[01:22] <DaveEngland> sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[01:22] <DaveEngland> or.. how do i do that? :D
[01:22] <Lathiat> yep
[01:22] <Lathiat> thats the one
[01:22] <alecjw> DaveEngland: put you proably want all of build-essential, so you might want to do sudo aptitude install build-essential
[01:22] <DaveEngland> ok tnx guys :D
[01:22] <alecjw> *but
[01:22] <firepol> stefg, i activated the "detect lan printers" but the problem is that there is no popup or nothing appears...
[01:23] <Lathiat> mm im old-school
[01:23] <theloner> what software should i install to get midifiles playing?
[01:23] <Lathiat> i might start using aptitude one day :P
[01:23] <firepol> stefg, anyway thanks. i will try again from scratch by following the guides u gave me
[01:23] <whazilla> can somebody guide me to a subversion serv under ubuntu ?
[01:24] <alecjw> DaveEngland: and, to compile anyhting, you need your linux headers too: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` - the ` key is nxt to the 1 key
[01:24] <superjoe> lathiat, i type this "sudo killall automatix.py // sudo kill <pid>"
[01:25] <theloner> musanteon asiantuntijoita paikalla?

[01:30] <Herodes> anyone knows a good way to get packages and their dependancies from the universe for offline install ? Running on WinXP currently. Got my Xubuntu at home :)
[01:30] <alecjw> someone just crash their pc and ask for help!!!
[01:30] <superjoe> lathiat thanks that worked
[01:31] <alecjw> Herodes: nope. just download the package from package.ubuntu.com and then click on all of the dependencies and download those, and then click on teir dependencies and download those (it took me hours to install xorg that way!)
[01:31] <_Adramelech_> Herodes: dont think theres a way, you can download deb packaes from internet and resolve the dependencies but theres no dependencies resolver for windows....
[01:32] <alecjw> +1 to what _Adramelech_ said
[01:32] <Herodes> alecjw I suppose you know ::  https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/edgy/i386/
[01:32] <firepol> stefg, could be, but in the environment i work for the 3 pcs are not connected to internet and nobody else should connect to them
[01:33] <eXistenZ> Does anyone have eclipse installed?
[01:33] <IdleOne> Herodes, try http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[01:33] <LameBMX> Herodes, if you got time maybe if u run ubuntu in vmware then copy the folder over the network ... :/ but thats time consuming too to set all that up ... but it may be a little easier on the eyes then reading all the dependcies
[01:33] <LameBMX> Herodes, not necessarily vmware .. but any network capable virtual machine
[01:33] <magicfinger> anyone know why i keep getting error 21 after install of linux

[01:34] <stefg> firepol: ok, but compared to all those quite archaic unix-style solutions i find samba the more modern and manageable solution.
[01:34] <alecjw> magicfinger: is that hte grub error?

[01:38] <gOldZahN> IldeOne, ive tried it already but i wasnt amazed very well

[01:54] <magicfinger> help please
[01:54] <francis_Albert_l> hi
[01:55] <naxxtor> i keep getting "Monitor 1 and 2 cannot be type NONE"
[01:55] <gOldZahN> IdleOne, i dont know it said i could solve this problem by using extended software or something like that
[01:55] <francis_Albert_l> how are you?
[01:55] <patrick_> hi evrybody!!!!
[01:55] <magicfinger> hi
[01:55] <IdleOne> magicfinger, you need to go and read that link ubotu  gave you earlier about dualboot that will probably help you alot
[01:55] <magicfinger> i have read it
[01:56] <naxxtor> any ideas? http://pastebin.ca/295435
[01:56] <gOldZahN> IdleOne, it said change to extended software-administration
[01:57] <magicfinger> has anyone else had the grub error 21
[01:57] <J-_> Do I have to run onky in root to see the percentage of space used in /?
[01:57] <J-_> Conky*
[01:57] <IdleOne> gOldZahN, you are trying to many things at once and not resolving any issues before jumping to the next. I suggest you delete/remove that rpm you tried install then sudo apt-get install alicq if you run into any errors stop read wait and ask for help
[01:58] <naxxtor> aggh, i hate it when people edit out their solutions on the forums....
[01:58] <iGadget> hi all
[01:58] <magicfinger> hi
[01:58] <naxxtor> i have the exact same problem as someone else and they edited their original post....
[01:58] <magicfinger> grub error 21, help please
[01:58] <gOldZahN> IdleOne, okay i see
[01:59] <Woody3444> I want to install Ubuntu on my USB 4GB device, how can i partition it? it is locked and i cant partition it. thanks
[01:59] <POVaddct> naxxtor: i cannot check right now, but could it be that the MonitorLayout option is in the wrong section?
[02:00] <POVaddct> naxxtor: also i find it strange to have two MonitorLayout lines
[02:00] <naxxtor> POVaddct: it's suppose3d to be in both of the Device sections right?
[02:00] <POVaddct> naxxtor: i dont know for sure
[02:00] <stefg> magicfinger, are you on a ubuntu live-CD now, or in windows?
[02:00] <magicfinger> windows
[02:00] <lipe_> I need some help to install Jdk1.5.0_10, please ...
[02:01] <naxxtor> POVaddct: the howto told me to duplicate the entire device section, so i guess that means two monitorlayout lines
[02:01] <slacker_nl> lipe_: its in the repos if not mistaken
[02:01] <naxxtor> all the otehrs seem to have 2
[02:01] <stefg> magicfinger, can't help you from there... boot up a Live-CD on the system and come back from Live-CD
[02:01] <firepol> lipe_ : personally i install java manually in /opt, then i modify some links around
[02:01] <magicfinger> ok thanks stef
[02:01] <gOldZahN> IdleOne, i always tried to enter the commands in the line you get by pressing alt+f2 but how can i open the clean terminal?
[02:01] <magicfinger> but how can i join the channel from live cd?
[02:01] <lipe_> firepol: how did u do that ??
[02:02] <lipe_> firepol: I just add lines in ~/.bash_profile
[02:02] <slacker_nl> lipe_: apt-cache search java | egrep -i "jdk|sdk"
[02:02] <IdleOne> gOldZahN, alt+f2 enter terminal in the box
[02:02] <_Adramelech_> magicfinger: using gaim
[02:02] <gOldZahN> IldeOne, Yeah but how can i open the terminal
[02:02] <magicfinger> what is gaim
[02:03] <stefg> !gaim

[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> how do you check the installed system memory on an Ubuntu 6.10 machine?
[02:03] <IdleOne> gOldZahN, that should open a terminal window for you
[02:03] <Stalwart> IndyGunFreak: free -m
[02:03] <firepol> lipe_ that could also be a solution
[02:03] <Woody3444> need help :)
[02:03] <stefg> IndyGunFreak: choose the memtest86 option at boot
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> ok, free -m worked also..
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> thanks.
[02:03] <gOldZahN> IldeOne, yes but i think then the terminal is just opened for this cmd....
[02:03] <lipe_> slacker_nl: oh nice, than i just install free java sdk ??
[02:04] <IdleOne> gOldZahN,  also go to Applications > Accesories > Terminal
[02:04] <lipe_> firepol: thx u, but i want to install using .bin ...
[02:04] <gOldZahN> IldeOne, ahh yeah thats what i wanted to know...i forgot :-[
[02:04] <slacker_nl> IndyGunFreak: I usually check it with top, you will get a particular line with memory and so forth
[02:04] <firepol> lipe_ in this case, you just run the bin and follow the instrucvtions, did u do that?
[02:04] <firepol> of course you have to install it as root. so e.g. sudo ./jdk.bin
[02:05] <lipe_> firepol: yes, but when i type javac, nothing happens ...
[02:05] <IndyGunFreak> slacker_nl, right, this is the line i have  1011        962         48          0        135        492
[02:05] <robdeman> hey gang, is Ubuntu 6.06LTS dual-core / dual-cpu compatible now?
[02:05] <slacker_nl> IndyGunFreak: look for a line like this: Mem:    515788k total,   507184k used,     8604k free,     8328k buffers
[02:05] <firepol> lipe_ : ok you habe to add it in the path
[02:05] <_Adramelech_> !dualcore
[02:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dualcore - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:05] <IndyGunFreak> slacker_nl, which is strange, cuz my total should be
[02:05] <IndyGunFreak> 1024
[02:05] <_Adramelech_> !amp
[02:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:05] <_Adramelech_> !smp
[02:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:05] <robdeman> mmm
[02:06] <_Adramelech_> rodeman: i think it is
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> slacker_nl, i was really more curious about another machines memory, i know mine has 1024, but this reports it as only having 1011
[02:06] <stefg> _Adramelech_: please put a /msg ubotu before your fishing attempts, so you see the results in your PM's and don't flood the channel
[02:06] <lipe_> firepol: I just added export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_10 and PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH in ~/.bash_profile ... but nothing ...
[02:06] <nova> how do I create a folder in usr/folders?
[02:07] <robdeman> _Adramelech_ its kind of scary, Ubuntu MIGHT not support dual CPU's... ?
[02:07] <firepol> lipe_ you have to re-login
[02:07] <lipe_> nova: mkdir ...
[02:07] <lipe_> nova: mkdir /usr/folders
[02:07] <nova> rgr
[02:07] <slacker_nl> lipe_: . .bash_profile
[02:07] <slacker_nl> lipe_: on the command line
[02:07] <lipe_> firepol: ohh :p. ok
[02:07] <POVaddct> naxxtor: i checked the xinerama config of my notebook (its still xfree 4.3.0, but i think it will work). i have no monitorlayout option anywhere.
[02:07] <lipe_> slacker_ln: ohhh
[02:07] <slacker_nl> then hit env | egrep -i "PATH|JAVA"
[02:07] <slacker_nl> lipe ^^
[02:07] <firepol> lipe_ or: add it in .bashrc
[02:07] <gOldZahN> IdleOne, i think the installationprocess has been finished. but now there is no way to start it by going to applycations->internet
[02:08] <lipe_> firepol: ok
[02:08] <lipe_> slacker_nl: ok
[02:08] <slacker_nl> firepol: I would then say in the .basrc to source .bash_profile
[02:08] <naxxtor> POVaddct: I tried commentin the lines out and it complained that it needed them
[02:08] <_Adramelech_> rodeman: it supports dual cpus
[02:08] <firepol> slacker_nl, usually its the opposite..
[02:09] <IdleOne> gOldZahN, yes I see that hold on a sec looking for it
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> stefg, what if memtest86 isn't one of my boot options?
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> i think it is with the live CD
[02:09] <POVaddct> naxxtor: maybe the i810 driver behaves different. in my notebook i have a sis gfx card so i use the sis driver.
[02:09] <gOldZahN> IldeOne, dont hurry^^
[02:09] <slacker_nl> firepol: don't know, just started playing around with bash
[02:09] <lipe_> firepol: just it ???
[02:09] <firepol> lipe_ relogin or: source ~/.bash_profile ;)
[02:10] <lipe_> firepol: ok, lets try ...
[02:10] <nova> ok now how do I make a txt file
[02:10] <nova> ?
[02:10] <firepol> lipe_ try to type: source ~/.bash_profile, it should read the new variables
[02:10] <stefg> IndyGunFreak: then you don't have it ... :-) but never mind, it's just a memory test. i misunderstood your question: 'checking ram' is _testing_ for me, not finding the 'amount of free ram'
[02:10] <_Adramelech_> nova: using gedit
[02:10] <slacker_nl> nova: what's your favorite editor?
[02:10] <nova> ok
[02:10] <nova> dont have one on linux
[02:10] <lipe_> firepol ohhh now its working !! :D thx u very much .!!!
[02:10] <firepol> lipe_ ;)
[02:11] <lipe_> firepol: GOD bless u !! bye bye
[02:11] <POVaddct> nova: you have a editor on linux. definitely.
[02:11] <firepol> thanks and happy coding
[02:11] <slacker_nl> POVaddct: think he ws talking about his favorite editor
[02:11] <POVaddct> slacker_nl: ah okay
[02:12] <francis_Albert_l> nova,  but, have a the windows?
[02:12] <IdleOne> gOldZahN, if you go to the add/remove wizzard and check the Show commercial applications box. then search for Licq it will give you the option to install Licq and will show up in Apllications > Internet
[02:12] <firepol> nova: right click on the desktop, and "create file": name it as file.txt ;)
[02:12] <magicfinger> stef is gaim preinstalled on live cd
[02:12] <gOldZahN> IldeOne, thx i will try
[02:12] <IdleOne> gOldZahN,  you may also want to sudo apt-get remove alicq
[02:12] <yoko> witam czy jest tu kto kto pomoe mi z nvidia settings na ubu 6.12 ee ?
[02:12] <nova> how do I move a file from desktop to a restricted area
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> firepol, thats what i was gonna suggest, but txt files automatically open in Opera for some reason..lol, so I had to change the file association with .txt
[02:13] <_Adramelech_> magicfinger: yes
[02:13] <ikonia> nova: thats just basic permissions
[02:13] <slacker_nl> yoko: english please
[02:13] <magicfinger> thanks do you need to sign up
[02:13] <firepol> Indy: opera? r we talking about linux or winzoz?
[02:13] <yoko> ??
[02:13] <stefg> magicfinger: yes... the whole idea of the Desktop CD is to enable you to come here for support, if you're in trouble
[02:13] <nova> well it wont let me save in the right folder no access
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> firephoto, linux
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> Ubuntu Edgy
[02:13] <firepol> opera on linux??? ehm... quite strange
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> firepol, no, i always install it.
[02:14] <POVaddct> firepol: of course there is opera for linux
[02:14] <stefg> opera is developed on linux... cough,cough....
[02:14] <slacker_nl> !sudo | nova
[02:14] <ubotu> nova: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:14] <magicfinger> ok ill delete partition then boot up live cd and come back for help to reinstall
[02:14] <magicfinger> brb
[02:14] <hhanne> hello, i've got some subdomains for my apache2. but when i type in a subdomain which is not configured, I'll be redirected to a subdomain which I don't want to go to.
[02:14] <hhanne> how can i change that?
[02:14] <furryballs> firepol: What's strange about that? The opera website will even show links to linux opera downloads.
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> firepol, main reason, Opera allows you to save ".mht" files, Firefox does not.    If I find a website with extremely useful info, I save it as an Mht to file with my backups
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> then in the event o fa crash, etc.
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> all i have to do is open the mht, to remember what i did to configure something iw as having trouble with
[02:15] <slacker_nl> hhanne: apache uses the first vhost it comes across
[02:15] <firepol> Mht, what's that?
[02:15] <slacker_nl> if its not defined
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> its an archive of a website.
[02:15] <hhanne> slacker_nl, how can I change that, to a default domain or subdomain?
[02:15] <firepol> somezhing like a httrack mirror?
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> never heard of httrack mirror, i don't know.
[02:16] <slacker_nl> hhanne: just use a vhost which you want to have as the default and set it as the first vhost in the apache conf
[02:16] <firepol> never heard of mht as well ;)
[02:16] <insight> I can't get updates dor synoptics
[02:16] <Exposure`> anyone want to help me troubleshoot wpa_supplicant?
[02:16] <slacker_nl> Exposure`: hit me
[02:16] <firepol> anyway, thanks for the info, ill try that one day or another just to see how it works
[02:16] <Exposure`> ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT] : Operation not supported
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> yeah, but it works for me, for instance, i've saved the sites on how to configure my TV card, my sound card, video card, etc.
[02:16] <hhanne> hmm... but I have the subdomains and domains in the vhost.d, how can I tell apache2 to first read the default?
[02:16] <insight> any help with synoptics
[02:17] <IdleOne> gOldZahN, when you get Licq installed you can add me 359052529

[02:17] <hhanne> slacker_nl,  hmm... but I have the subdomains and domains in the vhost.d, how can I tell apache2 to first read the default?

[02:18] <Exposure`> POVaddct, seems to work, thanks
[02:19] <insight> it was doing fine and then
[02:19] <POVaddct> Exposure`: the newer ipw drivers seem to like wext driver better
[02:19] <insight> for no reason it wont update
[02:19] <Exposure`> POVaddct, why doesn't it work with ipw?
[02:19] <Exposure`> ok
[02:19] <slacker_nl> hhanne: I don't use vhost.d
[02:19] <stefg> insight: did you change the hostname f your box?
[02:19] <slacker_nl> but make sure the default has a ame of 000-default or something similar to that
[02:19] <insight> i read about the updates
[02:20] <insight> no
[02:20] <slacker_nl> hhanne: it will read the files in the correct order then
[02:20] <hhanne> slacker_nl, so you don't know a solution? maybe I should just setup the default domain in the apache.conf directly
[02:20] <insight> not to my knowledge
[02:20] <hhanne> slacker_nl, ah, ok
[02:20] <slacker_nl> hhanne: or change the filename of your default vhost to 000-default-vhost
[02:20] <stefg> insight: did you install any firewall? firestarter/guarddog?
[02:20] <J-_> I don't understand why conky isn't recognizing /
[02:20] <slacker_nl> it shouls work afaik
[02:20] <hhanne> slacker_nl, sorry. I didn't see the answer at first. thx

[02:38] <TC`laptop> i got a barebone pc
[02:38] <Kesman> how do I change the "java -version" command to show 1.5.0_10 instead of  1.5.0_08-b03?
[02:38] <insight> stefg I changed the sources list to edgy from dapper after I coulndt get updates
[02:38] <vleon> i tryed alien arena 2007, unreal tournament 1999 GOTY (in wine)

[02:38] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Hi all! Anyone here who can help me with my ATI X800XT? Installed the drivers from their homepage, then ran aticonfig and rebooted... then the screen whent black...
 i have the windows version
[02:38] <TC`laptop> sudo iwconfig >  no wireless extensions, on all
[02:38] <Kesman> fmachado: I've installed JRE 1.5.0_10 into /usr/java, but I don't know how to update it
[02:38] <naxxtor> vleon: doesn't matter
[02:38] <vleon> what do you mean?
[02:38] <insight> Ok
[02:38] <naxxtor> i have the windows version too and i've installed it
[02:38] <FaithX> UbuntuN00B_HBG: Your res is too high for the screen probably
[02:38] <naxxtor> all you need is the right runscript
[02:38] <stefg> insight: get a new sources.list and don't forget to sudo apt-get update after
[02:38] <fmachado> Kesman, manually or using apt?
[02:39] <vleon> FaithX no my screen is okay
[02:39] <vleon> it can hold 1600X800 but the icons will be small (17 inch screen)
[02:39] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> FaithX: I got a 'ATI Control' in one of my menus, but it wont run...
[02:39] <Kesman> both, but I think apt-version is the one I'm using
[02:39] <Kesman> fmachado ^
[02:39] <TC`laptop> faithx my hardware suppose to run with madwifi drivers :|
[02:40] <vleon> anyway i dont really need scripts it runs fine under wine
[02:40] <vleon> and the problem is not with the game
[02:40] <magicfingers11> http://pastebin.com/847147
[02:40] <stefg> k
[02:40] <vleon> uts with ubuntu since aliean arena 2007 for linux crashed the same way
[02:40] <fmachado> Kesman, did you install uging apt-get / synaptic / adept / ... ?
[02:40] <FaithX> TC`laptop: problem is your device id is not listed in the software
[02:40] <Kesman> fmachado: I did install with apt
[02:40] <magicfingers11> i wan to install it on the 80gig drive
[02:41] <Kesman> fmachado: but the version in the repos is not the latest
[02:41] <TC`laptop> and how to solve it :| > install just win?
[02:41] <fmachado> Kesman, and then you downloaded JSDK _10 from sun website?
[02:41] <TC`laptop> that is worse designion
[02:41] <FaithX> TC`laptop: you can do that if you like
[02:42] <stefg> magicfingers11: 2 disks... that's good :-) where do you want to have your ubuntu installed?
[02:42] <magicfingers11> 3 disks
[02:42] <FaithX> You should google your problem
[02:42] <Kesman> fmachado: nevermind, there's a howto on the forum
[02:42] <magicfingers11> on the 80 gig disk
[02:42] <magicfingers11> its an usb hdd
[02:43] <stefg> magicfingers11: is that dispensible ? any data on it, or can you just flatten that 80GB drive?
[02:43] <FaithX> It's not that big a deal really... get source ... hack in a new device id recompile driver and it is done
[02:43] <TC`laptop> but is there somehow other designion?
[02:43] <magicfingers11> no its empty
[02:44] <naxxtor> that's better
[02:44] <naxxtor> right
[02:44] <TC`laptop> FaithX you see that i'm like know what to do? :|
[02:44] <vleon> so no one knows whats my problem?
[02:44] <naxxtor> someone back me up here: http://pastebin.ca/295435 does this look correct to you?
[02:44] <stefg> magicfingers11: brilliant... then let the installer do his automatic job on sda1... but beware: grub gets installed to hda, that means you can't remove the 80 GB drive or you'll get grub errors :-)
[02:45] <magicfingers11> thanks, but where should i install grub
[02:45] <stefg> magicfingers11: the instzaller will deal with that
[02:45] <J-_> Where would the temperature of my hard drives be stored? Do all hard drives have temp censors?

[02:47] <saxin> ehm.. /etc/apt/sources.list
where do I find the source list file?
[02:47] <dbe> Why do I get: Failed to load output plugin "jackd". Trying defaults.    when I run: alsaplayer -o jackd wekilltheworld.ogg   I have jackd installed.
[02:47] <naxxtor> preemptive strike
[02:47] <stefg> copperbottom: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable  ... that's all
[02:47] <insight> thanks
[02:47] <dbe> alsaplayer -o jack*

[02:49] <copperbottom> the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[02:49] <stefg> insight: /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:49] <stefg> copperbottom: you forgot the restricted-modules-package for your kernel
[02:49] <magicfingers11> how do i find out which hard drive ubuntu recognises as (hd0)
[02:50] <stefg> magicfingers11: a fuuny question, because the answer is already in it ...
 right thanks do I just paste the generated source list over my old list and there will be no problem?
[02:51] <dbe> Anyone?
[02:51] <stefg> insight: backups are never a bad idea
[02:52] <FaithX> TC`laptop: you are not trying very hard to solve your own problem... just making noise in the channel... 5 minutes in google and the answer... http://madwifi.org/changeset_static/1711.html   Please _try_ to help yourself a bit more in the future.

[02:58] <ken> When one opens a new tab in firefox, one expects a clean URL bar, with the focus on the URL, but when i open a new tab, the URL bar is already filled with the web address of my previous tab, and moreover the cursor blinks on the URL bar so i have to backspace that whole address, and type in my new address. Whereas actually when one opens a new tab, one should see a clean url bar, so that one can start typing the new web addressright away. How do i change this behav
[02:58] <ken> copperbottom: please see my above post
[02:59] <[BTF] Chm0d> LOL ken loves third person

[03:00] <nova> how do I install a .rar file?? from the desktop
[03:01] <[BTF] Chm0d> hey ken open up firefox and go to edit/preferences/tabs

[03:01] <ken> Lunar_Lamp: But i don't any ideas what should do to change this?
[03:01] <tuna-fish-> dumb question: is there a terminal application that lets you set the desired size of the terminal screen, and then when resizing it streches the font instead of resizing the terminal?
[03:01] <stefg> insight: still the can't connect to localhost-error?
[03:02] <mrstocks_> ken backup ur book marks and remove the config files
[03:02] <SubMOA> ken, I got Beryl up and running, but, at one point in time it made my CPU run at 100% indefinitely, so I came here.  Anyway, I figured out the problem (I think) and although it didn't have anything to do with my xorg.conf file, someone said it wasn't complete so I added what I found on the ubuntu beryl article.  I had some people check it and they said it looked good.  Then restarted my comp and it wouldn't load
 still can't connect
[03:02] <ken> mrstocks_: Good idea! but still what i am asking is unaswered, though yours is a excellent alternative
[03:02] <SubMOA> so i nano'd it and deleted what i had added and sha-bam it works

[03:05] <stefg> insight: when you pasted it, you got a number ... paste the url from your browser in here, otherwise i can't see anything
[03:06] <ken> [BTF] Chm0d: Same for me (checking options)
[03:06] <[BTF] Chm0d> ive never used that extension so that would be new to me
[03:06] <SubMOA> ken, not sure what i'm talking about here... maybe emacs would work for you?
[03:06] <ken> SubMOA: I too am not sure what to answer to you :0
[03:06] <SubMOA> ken, I just read something about it wiping all shortcuts for firefox (and gnome, fyi) so yuo can create youur own

[03:07] <insight> Now I cant find that damn window
[03:07] <insight> I am geting pissed
[03:07] <copperbottom> stefg: restricted modules are installed. any other idea why driver doesnt wont to load?
[03:07] <SubMOA> ken, I'm thinking a reinstall

[03:07] <SubMOA> !beryl
[03:07] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment.  And moreover using unstable software as a interface for other software to run, is not a good idea by any standards :)
[03:08] <ken> mrstocks_: Which config files are you talking about?
[03:08] <stefg> copperbottom: lets try if the module is loadaple by sudo modprobe nvidia
[03:08] <tc75> hi, do you guys have the ~"new gdm connection (w/ or w/o xnest)" in their default menus? (launches gdmflexiserver)
[03:09] <SubMOA> ken, i think all those things are pluses! (No, I don't, I just want to sound contradictory.  Hey, I'm 20, I have to make my OS appealing!)
[03:09] <tc75> i used to have it but disappeared on my new xubuntu setup
[03:09] <SubMOA> :O)
[03:09] <magicfingers11> ok stef time to reboot
[03:09] <copperbottom> ken: i tried Tab Mix Plus and discarted it. Uses too much mem. And FF 2.0 was improved in tabs
[03:09] <ken> SubMOA: I am little /not-interested in EMACS/VI, they simply scare me away :)
[03:09] <insight> Ok I reposted the info but now how do I give you the link?
[03:09] <magicfingers11> brb
[03:10] <kane77> how do I use crontab -e ?

[03:10] <androxxl> hello can someone help me with apt-get update I got this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39319/
[03:10] <ken> SubMOA: You are talking about re-install of your entire OS?
[03:11] <SubMOA> ken, no, I mean reinstall firefox for you
[03:11] <maxy> kane77: that's probably the vi editor you're fighting with :)
[03:11] <SubMOA> not sure what else to do, sorry.
[03:11] <copperbottom> stefg: no output in console
[03:11] <SubMOA> <[03:11] <ken> SubMOA: ok :) though i wouldn;t like to entertain such a idea :)
 I reposted the information but how do I get you the link
[03:11] <maxy> kane77: either learn vi, or set $EDITOR, or don't use crontab -e (use crontab my_crontab instead)
[03:11] <stefg> copperbottom: that means success. sudo modprobe nvidia
[03:11] <SubMOA> well, since i deleted that section, I suppose everything is working fine.  Sorry I can't help you more, ken, I'm pretty darn new to this whole thing, though.
[03:11] <kane77> maxy: .. nah I think its joe... but what is a syntax to write into?
[03:12] <SubMOA> gotta run though.  Good luck!
[03:12] <copperbottom> ken: try do disable Tab MIx Plus and see what happen
[03:12] <maxy> Kanafani: ah ok.
[03:12] <ken> SubMOA: ok
[03:12] <johan_> i have no sound on my newly installed ubuntu, i fiddled with alsamixer to no avail and alsaconf doesnt work
[03:12] <ken> copperbottom: good idea :)
[03:12] <tc75> hi, do you guys have the ~"new gdm connection (w/ or w/o xnest)" in your default menus? (launches gdmflexiserver)

[03:12] <maxy> */30 * * * * /home/martin/bin/harddiskparanoia
[03:12] <kane77> maxy I need to set program to run every 15 minutes...
[03:13] <stefg> insight: by looking at the addressbar of your browser... copy the link there, paste it in here
[03:13] <copperbottom> stefg: Not loading nvidia module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:13] <trust> svip O_O
[03:13] <maxy> kane77: use */15 for that instead of */30 above
[03:13] <svip> trust O_O
as I thought yet another Hang up
[03:13] <insight> I can't display the address bar for whatever reason
 this is really getting aggrevating
[03:14] <stefg> copperbottom: oh, i see... either you forgot sudo nvidia-glx-config enable, or it failed... gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... get the line with 'nv' in the driver section and make it nvidia
[03:14] <maxy> kane77: read "man 5 crontab" for details
[03:14] <kane77> maxy, thanx...
[03:15] <magicfingers11> stef i got error 21 again
[03:16] <stefg> magicfingers11: after i looked at your harddisk-conf i'll assume that grub can't see the sda at boottime...
[03:16] <ken> Firefox users i need help!
[03:16] <daedra> ken: try #firefox
[03:16] <ken> daedra: Good idea :)
[03:16] <stefg> magicfingers11: so grub points in the vacuum which is filled only later with sda
[03:17] <copperbottom> stefg: done. reboot now?
 I hope this works  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39320/
[03:17] <magicfingers11> how can i fix it then stef
[03:17] <stefg> copperbottom: THIS IS LINUX... sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39320/ I hope this works
[03:18] <stefg> insight: yup, that worked, and it looks good
[03:18] <IdleOne> where would the config files be for webboard?
[03:18] <insight> so now what

[03:21] <ken> xaaax: Press ctr-alt-f1, logic with your username/password, and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and go with the default driver like VESA, and the defualt settings to get your GUI back
[03:22] <ken> Terminus: That might help, thank you :)

[03:22] <stefg> magicfingers11: your bios doesn't allow an ubuntu installtion to sda... take one of the /h/ da's
[03:22] <txoof> I've got cups installed and it works great.  I can't access any of the admin pages, howerver.  In firefox it prompts me for a username and password.  Where do I set this?  I've scoured the docs and can't find the answer anywhere!
[03:22] <CoRnJuLiOx> ok, i've got two sound cards (one onboard, one SB Live! card), and the apps seem to be switching between the two. XMMS plays songs through the SB, while Wine and Totem Movie Player play songs through the onboard sound. Is there any way i can get it to play through one card only? i've tried the mixer settings, but it doesn't seem to have much effect
[03:22] <xaaax> ken thanks
[03:23] <CoRnJuLiOx> no effect at all actually
[03:23] <ken> xaaax: Good luck!

[03:29] <the_conley> not du, thats just the current dir
[03:29] <Plinty> how can I make it that several programs could play sounds? Currently only one program can play sounds, if I start other program, then it doesn't play any sound. One exception is gnome desktop, it is able to play sounds anytime

[03:29] <nova> How do I terminate a program
[03:29] <txoof> ROBOd: I don't have an exact link.  I just solved a similar problem, but for a printer.  YOu'll have to do the research your self.

[03:30] <maddash> it maybe fast, but it sure isn't small
[03:30] <ken> LjL: How do i make a folder in Ubuntu, that every user is able to read/write, ever user can make sub-directories in it and paste whatever files and delete everything? Basically a kind of shared folder?
[03:30] <maddash> and it's console mode
[03:30] <nova> my crossover is stuck, how do kill it in the command line?
[03:30] <LjL> maddash: you want faster and smaller? hm
[03:30] <Plinty> can linux applications play different sounds at the same time?
[03:30] <daedra> hey what does the modes +ei mean next to the irc nick?
[03:30] <the_conley> what is wrong insight?
[03:30] <tim167> ok my harddisk space is used for  91%, could this be the reason why my computer is so slow ?
[03:30] <stefg> insight read the link...your proxy settings are screwed
[03:30] <maddash> LjL: well, how about something that works outside of console mode?
[03:30] <LjL> maddash: ircii perhaps?
[03:31] <insight> how do I change them
[03:31] <ken> tim167: You have swap? What's your RAM?
[03:31] <txoof> tim167: only if you have somehow managed to write over your swap.

[03:31] <nova> my crossover is stuck, how do kill it in the command line?
[03:31] <xaaax> ken: nothing happens when I type ctrl-alt-f1. In what moment do I have to type that?

[03:32] <daedra> I like irssi :)
[03:32] <N> sorry ! who can  help me!answer a question about 3D beryl
[03:33] <ken> xaaax: Did the wizard for "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" go on properly?
[03:33] <xaaax> ken: I'm inside gnome. All is loaded but that key sequence doesn't do anything.
[03:33] <ken> xaaax: Can you please re-bried me over your problem? I kinda'..forgot :)
[03:33] <ken> xaaax: *re-brief
[03:33] <LjL> maddash: that one is quite small, itself, smaller than irssi and ircii... but of course it does require a ton more libraries, since it's for X (and GTK)
[03:34] <gOldZahN> IdleOne, srYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY for being so late
[03:34] <xaaax> ken: i can't see my desktop. It is loaded but I screwed up X. I'm inside the desktop, just don't see anything. I want to login in text mode to change configuration but ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't do anything here
[03:34] <tim167> how can I see the size of my swap partition ?
[03:34] <nova> my crossover is stuck, how do kill it in the command line?
[03:35] <ken> tim167: Right-click on GNOME launch panel>add to panel> In System and Hardware section, add System MOnitor
[03:35] <LjL> ken: you probably want to create a group (say, "netshare"), make all the users that you want to access the directory members of that group, and then set that directory's setuid-group bit
[03:35] <Plinty> can ubuntu play different sounds at the same moment?
[03:35] <tim167> ken: tnx
[03:35] <N> help me! now!
[03:35] <IdleOne> !patience | N
[03:35] <ubotu> N: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[03:35] <stefg> !dmix | Plinty
[03:35] <ubotu> Plinty: 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
[03:36] <ken> tim167: NOw you should have 1/2/3 graphs on your panel, right click on any graph go to preferences and check mark the SWAP graph on, disable all the other graphs. Now monitor the swap graph to see if you are overloading your SWAP area
[03:36] <IdleOne> N btw if you dont ask a question no one can help you
[03:36] <N> thank you!
[03:36] <tuna-fish-> Anyone know a good tty emulator tat lets you set the size of the window in rows*columns and if you resize it it streches the font?
[03:37] <tim167> ken: in the Resources tab that is ?
[03:37] <maddash> LjL: lostirc is 4.5 MB including the libraries I have to install
[03:37] <ken> xaaax: Press the left ctrl- left alt along with f1 key together and you shall enter a text mode. Definitely please try it once more
[03:37] <N> thank you everyone! bye!
[03:38] <LjL> maddash, problem is, i can see that the package itself is small, but i cannot know which libraries and dependencies you already have ;)
[03:38] <ken> N: You are welcome :)
[03:38] <nova> my crossover is stuck, how do kill it in the command line?
[03:38] <ken> tim167: please be a little more specific
[03:38] <maddash> eh
[03:38] <LjL> maddash, problem is, i can see that the package itself is small, but i cannot know which libraries and dependencies you already have ;)
[03:38] <ken> xaaax: What happened?
[03:39] <xaaax> ken: it worked now but had to keep keys pressed for like 3 seconds
[03:39] <xaaax> thanks
[03:39] <maddash> LjL: nearly none of them - I just got out of a fresh **server** install of breezy
[03:39] <LjL> ken: saw my message? it came a bit late. but is the idea clear?
[03:39] <LjL> maddash: server install - ok, that means you have ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard IIRC, and little more
[03:39] <ken> xaaax: Follow the process and it should all work well, i shall wait till you get it working correctly :)
[03:39] <LjL> maddash: well, you seem to have X too, though
[03:40] <ken> LjL: Yes i got the idea about making a group, and sharing the privileges with the group
[03:40] <cden> Ah, this is the first time I have used IRC through gaim. Can anyone see this message?
[03:40] <kanzie> I cant type less-then / greater-then and fork-characters since I installed Edgy with beryl and Swedish keyboard-mapping
[03:40] <tim167> ken: i opened system monitor, you advised me to close the two graphs that are not the SWAP, I can't close them...but maybe that's not crucial. I just want to see if I have enough swap, diskspace, Ram, and find out why my system is so slow at times...
[03:40] <N> thank !i'm very bad for english! my chinese ! see you later!
[03:40] <matason> cden: yip
[03:40] <maddash> LjL: yep.
[03:40] <ken> LjL: The only thing i dont understand is this : set that directory's setuid-group bit

[03:40] <maddash> brb
[03:41] <nova> my program is stuck, how do kill it in the command line?
[03:41] <LjL> ken: well the important point is making the directory setgid. that means that any files that are created inside the directory get the group of the *directory*, and not of the user creating them (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid )
[03:41] <Blinker> is there anyone here with icecast experience who's attention i can borrow for a few moments?
[03:41] <nova> how do find the id to kill it
[03:41] <cden> Thanks Matason
[03:41] <Blinker> i'm trying to get it up and running for the first time =p
[03:41] <ken> tim167: yes you got the idea, i asked you to disable those (if that was possible) so that you would get a clear idea whether your swap overflowed or not
[03:41] <matason> nova: ps
[03:41] <tuna-fish-> nova: ps  aux to console
[03:42] <matason> cden: np
[03:42] <ken> nova: run "ps -eux" and find the disturbing programs id, than run "kill -9 <ID>"
[03:42] <ken> LjL: I am really learning Linux, now :)
[03:42] <tuna-fish-> if tyhe list is too long, ps aux | grep <whatever you want to find without the"<>">
[03:43] <francis_Albert_l> oi
[03:43] <tim167> ken: swap graph is very static, around 33% usage
[03:43] <ken> tim167: And you say your computer behaves sluggishly?
[03:43] <J-_> what package can I download to see what my cpu temp is?
[03:43] <LjL> J-_: lm-sensors
[03:43] <J-_> thanks
[03:43] <xaaax> ken: should there be a problem enabling glx and dri modules even if I don't have them installed or don't support them?
[03:44] <tim167> ken: yes, especially when I have large images open in Gimp for example
[03:44] <LjL> J-_: then run "sensors-detect" as root to detect the sensors and tell you which kernel modules to load, and then "sensors" to actually see the values. then if you want there are several front-ends for both GNOME and KDE i believe
[03:44] <tim167> ken: my swap is 705 MB
[03:45] <ken> xaaax: Since your PC, has not got a FUNCTIONAL GUI i recommend not doing anything out of the ordinary, stick with the defaults unless you know they have been detected wrong, so than you have a GUI running. Than you can get into the specifics by asking @ ubuntuforums.org. BTW i dont know the answer to your question :)

[03:47] <tim167> ken: np
[03:47] <namespace> yeah i got the gnome one ;)
[03:47] <ken> tim167: Maybe LjL can help you.
[03:47] <siv0x> does anyone the directory in kde for synaptic, it wont let me open synaptic with terminal, well it will but only write only.
[03:47] <J-_> LjL: No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them
[03:47] <ken> LjL: CPU=3gHz intel PIV, RAM=256MB, SWAP=750MB runs sluggish at times. please help tim167
[03:48] <LjL> J-_: hm, yeah, that happens to some people... try "sudo modprobe i2c-dev"
[03:48] <tim167> LjL, ken:  if you have time that is ofcourse :p
[03:48] <xaaax> ken: alright, it seems that config is over, how can I kill the xserver that is running?
[03:48] <Plinty> is there a way to configure wine to use dmix?
[03:48] <ken> xaaax: Are you in text-mode?
[03:48] <stefg> sudo /etc/init.d7?dm restart
[03:49] <stefg> sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[03:49] <matason> What's the best approach for trouble-shooting total lock ups in Ubuntu 6.06?
[03:49] <LjL> ken, tim167: well if you're using the GIMP and OOo, and "only" have 256Mb of RAM (yeah, i know, the "only" is unfortunate and a bit ridiculous, but), i'm not too surprised that things go sluggish.  but *what* is sluggish exactly? you get high CPU load, high I/O usage, high swap space usage, or all of them?
[03:49] <stefg> matason: readin screen messages and logfiles
[03:49] <xaaax> ken: yes
[03:50] <Yoshimitsu> we have come a long way today
[03:50] <matason> stefg: Right, I get no messages or anything in the log...
[03:50] <J-_> LjL: I did the command, no error, nothing came up. So I guess it's detected?
[03:50] <matason> It happens randomly
[03:50] <ken> xaaax: If you are having a dysfunctional GUI running in the background, you can navigate to it be pressing ctr-alt-f7. Once there press ctr-alt-backspace, and it shall restartx
[03:50] <LjL> matason: dmesg may be a good start, then grep through all of /var/log.  also, i suggest that when it locks you, you try pressing SysRq (which is usually AltGr+SysRq, really) together with the following keys, in sequence: R S E I U B
[03:51] <siv0x> does anyone the directory in kde for synaptic, it wont let me open synaptic with terminal, well it will but only write only.
[03:51] <matason> Ok thanks LjL, stefg
[03:51] <Yoshimitsu> ok got Wireless running on PPC now i need to find the mac address, as i dont use SSID i use mac addresses to control access, but i cant seem to find the correct address even when looking in device manager
[03:51] <tim167> LjL: everything freezes until a process is done, (like opening a file or saving) I have to wait long until gui interfaces become active again after every action
[03:51] <LjL> matason: that will hopefully reboot the system more cleanly than if you just pressed the Reset switch, avoiding filesystem corruptions and giving the system more chances to actually *write* stuff to the logs
[03:51] <th3man> Yoshimitsu: ifconfig -a
[03:52] <matason> Lyl: Ok maybe that's my problem - after a lock up I've been leaving it for a few minutes and then powering down with the on/off
[03:52] <Yoshimitsu> thanks th3man :) ifconfig did little i was hoping to get the rest :)
[03:52] <ken> xaaax: IF pressing and holding ctr-alt-f7 does nothing for you, then simply type "startx" at the command prompt
[03:52] <CarlFK> what email servers support imap?
[03:52] <Blissex> !nvidia
[03:52] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:52] <stefg> tim167: does the harddisk work then, or is it just waiting for something to happen?
[03:52] <ken> xaaax: Everything alright?
[03:52] <shadowhywind> what is the difference between the 386 kernel and the 686 kernel??
[03:52] <stefg> the name
[03:53] <th3man> CarlFK: scalix is a good one to try
[03:53] <ken> stefg :)
[03:53] <LjL> tim167: well, at any rate, i strongly recommend that you get another 256 - or better, 512 Mb - of RAM if you can afford it. having a 3GHz processor, but just 256Mb of RAM, is a waste. besides that... you could want to try "sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/hda" (or, if not 'hda', whatever your root HD is), and see if the HD is working at reasonable speeds
[03:53] <J-_> weird, i type 'sensors' and it still says no sensors detected
[03:53] <tim167> stefg: good that you ask that, I almost forgot to say: there is unusually high disk activity at those 'freeze' moments...

[03:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about evdev - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:53] <th3man> jeanjean: you're gonna have to change that
[03:53] <LjL> tim167: (for reference, i get around 50-60 Mb/s speed on a Celeron 1700 with an udma6 HD)
[03:53] <th3man> lol
[03:54] <tim167> LjL: thanks
[03:54] <stefg> tim167: you need more RAM
[03:54] <stack_> I have a cron job that just stopped working.  It worked a month or so back, but now it just doesn't run.  What's a good way to diagnose this?
[03:54] <LjL> tim167: but, yeah, stefg also has a point. if you hear the HD chewing like crazy while the system is unresponsive, it's probably using the swap space, which just means you've run out of physical memory
[03:54] <ken> LjL: stefg: What configuration (cpu-speed, hdd-size, RAM) would you term recommended and minimum for Ubuntu
[03:55] <LjL> of course, a faster HD helps there... but not really much. you just need more RAM
[03:55] <tim167> stefg, LjL: ok, more Ram, that's what I thaught, could I by any chance put Ram of a PIII laptop into my PIV ?
[03:55] <stefg> no way
[03:55] <sephirot1> is there a  way to open .deb files in windows?
[03:55] <rambo3> winrar ?
[03:55] <sephirot1> for some reason i am getting an invalid archive msg when i run apt-get with the downloaded files
[03:55] <LjL> ken, IMHO 256Mb is good enough, but barely. i'd never go below 192Mb. still, if you use memory-intensive applications, 256Mb is still quite little, and anyway, again, a 3GHz processor is totally wasted with that little RAM, for desktop purposes
[03:55] <siv0x> does anyone the directory in kde for synaptic, it wont let me open synaptic with terminal, well it will but only write only.
[03:56] <dudes> HI THERE!
[03:56] <LjL> tim167, i doubt it, laptops don't use the kinds of RAM that are in desktop computers normally
[03:56] <wyld> hi dudes
[03:56] <rambo3> siv0x,  waht?
[03:56] <tim167> LjL: both laptops
[03:56] <LjL> siv0x: try "kdesu synaptic"
[03:56] <LjL> tim167: ah, well, then maybe, but still i don't really know
[03:57] <dudes> i have a question, what it the equivalent, in Ubuntu, to the file "hosts" in windows?
[03:57] <ollekalle> Hi, is there any proper way to uninstall HW in Ubuntu. I am planning to disable my onboard NIC and put in a new PCI one. Shall I just shutdown and mount new HW and reboot?
[03:57] <sephirot1> anyone?
[03:57] <LjL> dudes: /etc/hosts ?
[03:57] <stack_> dudes: /etc/hosts
[03:57] <dudes> thaks!
[03:57] <wyld> what is the advantage to the 64 bit editions? does they run faster?
[03:57] <dudes> i will try it
[03:57] <rambo3> !blacklist > ollekalle
[03:57] <matason> sephirotl: someone suggested winrar
[03:58] <sephirot1> rambo3: tried winrar. says invalid invalid archive.
[03:58] <LjL> wyld: probably, a little. probably, not very noticeable. certainly, you'll get a headache if you need to install WINE, Flash, the W32codecs, and other (mostly proprietary) stuff
[03:58] <wyld> oh joy
[03:58] <xaaax> ken: I now have a functional high-res desktop like I wanted before screwing things up. Thanks!
[03:58] <tech09> ollekalle, yes... should be fine
[03:58] <wyld> i hate proprietary crap
[03:58] <ken> xaaax: You are welcome, Happy to be of service :)
[03:58] <QwertyM> we all do :(
[03:58] <ollekalle> tech09: thanks
[03:59] <dudes> when i change the /etc/hosts files, what i have to do to work with the changes?
[03:59] <LjL> wyld, QwertyM: right, but still even SourceForge is using Flash now ;-)   (yes, yes, it does still work without)
[03:59] <ken> xaaax: I just happened to be at the right place, in the right frame of mind at the right time, to help you, thats all :)
[03:59] <dudes> oh, nothing it works :P
[03:59] <stefg> dudes: this is linux, in case you didn't notice :-)
[03:59] <matason> dudes: yip
[03:59] <wyld> yay for the cool linux
[03:59] <ken> wyld: I simply love, adore it, i cant love without proprietary <whatever> ;)
[03:59] <zero-9376> anyone know of an app to build a xbox iso for linux?
[04:00] <QwertyM> MPlayer better than Xine ?
[04:00] <stefg> !better
[04:00] <ken> QwertyM: Methinks
[04:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about better - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:00] <tim167> ken, LjL, stefg: ok guys, thanks for the help, I'll clearly have to go for more RAM, hope things get smoothened out a bit then :)
[04:00] <wyld> ken: I know, That is why lots of us dual boot
[04:00] <QwertyM> ken, ok, I'll try playing some vids and do a test :)
[04:00] <stefg> tim167: or a neat lil' fluxbuntu install :-)
[04:00] <ken> wyld: That was meant to be sarcastic
[04:00] <sephirot1> wyld: cause there are soemthings that linux is not most appropriate for.
[04:00] <ken> QwertyM: Please report the results
[04:01] <QwertyM> sure ken
[04:01] <QwertyM> lemme install mplayer now :p
[04:01] <QwertyM> was surprised I dont have it heh
[04:01] <QwertyM> apt-get ftw... :P
[04:01] <ken> LjL: stefg: Would using Xubuntu help tim167, to stop those moments of 'freezes' that he experiences when opening resource-heavy apps?
[04:02] <stefg> Ken, it would help, but his problem isn't one of a few MB... large photos in gimp can eat up +100MB easily
[04:02] <sephirot1> my dhcp3 server fails to start up. could this be caused by a failed piece of hardware (ethernet card)?
[04:02] <wyld> ken, sephirotl: I know
[04:03] <tim167> stefg: yea I did install fluxbox but I couldnt get it to work right yet, I have also installed Xubuntu, but I'm not sure what I'm running now, it looks like plain Gnome in fact, although the login splash screen says 'Xubuntu'
[04:03] <tim167> ^ken
[04:04] <stefg> tim167: and if you installed a lot chances are that theres a bunch of daemons chewing on your system resources...
[04:04] <LjL> ken, tim167: maybe, but only if he changes his choice of applications. using Xubuntu and then full-blown GNOME apps on it wouldn't make much sense, since most/all of the GNOME libraries would still be used
[04:04] <ken> LjL: stefg: Help: When i open some window or some window is opened by defualt by a application (eg. firefox messages). Than a Oval (ellipsoid) really small ellipsoid opens up, on stretching it out with a mouse, one sees that it is a window that is empty (it shouldn't, there was some problem that caused a empty small window), so when one stretched out that ellipsoid than a empty window is seen, which should actually have been a decent sized notification message. Thi
[04:04] <LjL> but then neither OOo nor the GIMP are GNOME applications strictly speaking
[04:04] <ken> LjL: not even GIMP?
[04:05] <LjL> ken: no. actually,
[04:05] <LjL> !gtk
[04:05] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of Gnome and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[04:05] <LjL> ken: GTK was *created* for the GIMP, and it still just uses GTK directly
[04:05] <tim167> stefg: that's very likely, I installed ALOT (new ubuntu user trying out new toys huh ;) )
[04:05] <stefg> gtk means Gimp Tool Kit
[04:05] <TooR4u> how to hide our ip in IRC?
[04:06] <LjL> ken, i have no idea what you're talking about there, honestly :o)
[04:06] <LjL> TooR4u: ask the Freenode staff for an unaffiliated cloak
[04:06] <LjL> TooR4u: www.freenode.net
[04:06] <stefg> tim167: So you did everything right: Ckecking the limits, gaining experience and developing a feel for what is what and needs this and that
[04:06] <LjL> Ubotu, tell TooR4u about cloak | TooR4u, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:06] <stefg> tim167: so it's time for a real install now :-)
[04:07] <siv0x> How do i get to wine with KDE Desktop?
[04:07] <ken> ubotu tell ken about cloak
[04:07] <LjL> siv0x: sudo apt-get install wine -- or the equivalent from Adept
[04:07] <siv0x> Sorry not wine, but Synaptic.
[04:07] <cody___> I have a question for people. I am fairly new to Linux and I did a 64bit install of Ubuntu the other night and I am having all kinds of problems getting things to work. Does the 64bit version have more problems (incompatablities, etc) that the 32bit version
[04:07] <LjL> !msg the bot | ken
[04:07] <ubotu> ken: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[04:07] <stefg> cody___: oh, yessss....
[04:07] <LjL> siv0x: kdesu synaptic
[04:08] <siv0x> LjL: well, that helps too.. i'm having problems getting wine installed.. and i was going to do it with synaptic.
[04:08] <cody___> stefg, I plan on installing the 32bit version and I am hoping things go smoother
[04:08] <LjL> siv0x: what kind of problems?
[04:08] <cody___> it took me about 15 hours to get wireless working
[04:08] <stefg> cody___: and have fun with codecs and flash :-) which don't work s good on 64bit
[04:09] <siv0x> LjL: for one, getting to synaptic.. also, that command gives me an error.
[04:09] <LjL> siv0x: pastebin the error
[04:09] <LjL> Ubotu, tell siv0x about pastebin | siv0x, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:09] <ken> Good Bye people, Happy UBUNT-ing
[04:09] <LjL> bye ken
[04:09] <siv0x> ljl: i know how.
[04:09] <tim167> stefg: yes, maybe, but some things that are working now took alot of effort (like certain specific alsa drivers, certain libraries I compiled...) I'd have to do that all over then...
[04:09] <cody___> has anyone installed 32bit edgy w/broadcom wireless?
[04:10] <sephirot1> LjL: whats the easiest way to test a samba server - at home i've got only 2 PCs i could hook them up via cross-over cables...but thats where i get lost
[04:10] <LjL> siv0x: sure, it's just that many people take "pastebin" as "paste", and flood the channel, so i've learned to avoid that in advance :)
[04:10] <stefg> tim167: if you did your compiling right you have your stuff as .debs, even if its just checknstall debs
[04:11] <stefg> !checkinstall | tim167
[04:11] <ubotu> tim167: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[04:11] <siv0x> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39326/
[04:11] <siv0x> LjL: i know :P
[04:11] <Yoshimitsu> phew got wireless working
[04:11] <Yoshimitsu> thank god thats over
[04:12] <LjL> sephirot1: "sudo mount //server-name-or-ip-address/share-name /mount/point -o username=some-user-that-you-have-enabled-on-the-server"    and on the server, you'll need smbpasswd to enable users to login, as well as editing /etc/samba/smb.conf to add shares
[04:12] <LjL> siv0x: uhm, that's while trying to run 'kdesu synaptic'?
[04:13] <LjL> siv0x: how did you install KDE? you used the Kubuntu CD, or installed the 'kubuntu-desktop' package, or what?
[04:13] <tim167> stefg: I'll think about it, but for the time being I'll stick with this 'working-but-at-times-sluggish' installation. My sound apps work quite well btw. and who knows with a bit more Ram popped in, it might even become livable :-p
[04:13] <siv0x> kubuntu-desktop
[04:13] <LjL> siv0x: (note that the first couple of warnings -- the "X error" ones -- are normal)
[04:13] <Rug> Howdy all
[04:13] <LjL> siv0x: does 'sudo' work normally? like, try 'sudo true'
[04:14] <siv0x> LjL: yes
[04:14] <siv0x> LjL: i can always reinstall KDE if this will fix the problems, thats no biggy
[04:14] <LjL> siv0x: ok, then after those error, it just puts you back to a shell prompt?
[04:14] <stefg> tim167: a default install of ubuntu is possible in 3G... i have 3 ubuntus on my box, for reference or testing reasons
[04:14] <LjL> siv0x: i don't think it will
[04:14] <siv0x> LjL: yes
[04:14] <siv0x> LjL: okay so is it a major problem or?
[04:14] <tim167> stefg: what's 3G ?
[04:15] <stefg> tim167: 3 GigaByte
[04:15] <tim167> stefg: ok
[04:15] <LjL> siv0x, i haven't the slightest idea right now. does 'kdesu' work with other programs? like, try 'kdesu true' and then also 'kdesu kate' and 'kdesu gedit'
[04:15] <LjL> siv0x, also are you on edgy or dapper?
[04:15] <stefg> so you can alway install two versions side-by-side and check things, then just copy over wht 'passed' the test
[04:16] <StingRay> Hi. Can somebody tell if I can modify the login menus, like type of session and etc?
[04:16] <sephirot1> LjL: there's more. most of the machines at work use windows. I am going to assign IPs using DHCP3. All the hosts will be connected to the switch - same goes for the linux box running DHCP3.
[04:16] <HughMiliator> quit
[04:16] <siv0x> LjL: i'm on dapper
[04:16] <sephirot1> question is, if windows boxes are configures to automatically configure the ip, would DHCP do work?
[04:16] <HughMiliator> .quit
[04:16] <LjL> sephirot1: DHCP shouldn't be a big problem i think... but myself, all i've ever worked with is a very small static-IP network
[04:17] <daedra> script load trackbar.pl
[04:17] <daedra> oops
[04:17] <LjL> siv0x: have you ever edited /etc/sudoers and/or set a root password?
[04:18] <siv0x> LjL: no
[04:18] <minerale> I currenly have an ipv4 inet address, however ifconfig shows some pseudo-fake ipv6 address for eth0: inet6 addr: fe80::12:3f:fe:66/64 Scope:Link  -  and this is causing me confusion with the other *actual* ipv6 inet address -- ie local ipv4 connections are showing as ipv6 when they should not (netstat) - how can I have eth0 be ipv4 only ?
[04:18] <siv0x> LjL: if i reformatt, can you help me get my nvidia driver back?
[04:19] <siv0x> LjL: or is there maybe an easier way out of this?
[04:19] <daedra> stefg: haha
[04:19] <sephirot1> minerale: doesnt it work when you have it configured explicitly for the iface to be inet4 in /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:19] <willie_> I have Ubuntu 6.06 LTS installed on my pc, but i've problems with my graphics!! There is only one setting for the refreshrate and any full screen movie laggs! Even the screensavers laggs. can anyone pleasse give advice
[04:19] <LjL> siv0x: maybe, one thing at a time. i don't think you'll have to reformat, right now
[04:19] <siv0x> LjL: k
[04:20] <LjL> siv0x: how did you install the nvidia drivers, though? (and, have you ever run chmod or chown as root?)
[04:20] <HHak> Hello, I have a problem with my Ubuntu. Could anyone advice me in this one?
[04:20] <LjL> siv0x: and, does kdesu even show the password dialog, or just fails with those errors without showing any window?
[04:21] <stefg> !anyone | HHak
[04:21] <ubotu> HHak: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:21] <firepol> HHak, as the question directly
[04:21] <firepol> ask
[04:21] <Riyonuk> Has anyone installed kismet?
[04:21] <siv0x> LjL: kdesu just ends at what i pasted, doesnt give me a place to type anymore. and it doesnt give me a password dialog
[04:22] <HHak> I have this problem: Something happened while I was switching off services from System -> Admin -> Services. The window crashed and closed. Now everytime I try to reopen this window it pops out a message box saying "Configuration could not be loaded ... You are not allowed to access the system configuration."
[04:22] <HHak> Rebooting did not help
[04:22] <Stormx2> HHak: Eek
[04:22] <HHak> and additionally when I log in, its says "internal error ... failed to initialize HAL"
[04:22] <Stormx2> HHak: Which service?
[04:22] <HHak> I dont recall anymore
[04:22] <Stormx2> Bleh
[04:23] <HHak> I think it was the printing services
[04:23] <Stormx2> ubuntuforums.org <-- post a topic
[04:23] <LjL> siv0x: i can't find anything on google or launchpad... do you have the dapper-updates and dapper-security repositories enabled (for all components - main restricted universe and multiverse, if you have them all)? and did you do an upgrade recently?
[04:23] <HHak> ok
[04:23] <siv0x> LjL: yes, i upgraded recently, and i'm not sure about anything else.
[04:23] <LjL> siv0x: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list just to be sure
[04:25] <siv0x> LjL: how do i find /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[04:25] <siv0x> LjL: i'm new with linux.
[04:25] <Rug> While running WineTools (for the first time), my system rebooted.  Upon restart I get a Grub15 error.  I can access all the data if I boot off of a CD.  fsck reports a clean / partiton.  Any suggestions to allow me to boot again?
[04:26] <Rug> siv0x: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:26] <LjL> siv0x: type "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list"  --  of if kdesu fails, just "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" (but, i *am* interested to know if it fails with kate)
[04:26] <wyld> how can i get thunderbird?
[04:27] <LjL> siv0x: if with nano you have trouble pasting, just "kate /etc/apt/sources.list" (that way you won't be able to modify it, but you'll still be able to read it)
[04:27] <LjL> wyld: sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
[04:27] <Riyonuk> How come when I try to move a file from one place to another I get an access denied related error? I then have to do sudo mv file place and thats a pain...
[04:27] <wyld> thanks ljl
[04:27] <stefg> Rug: i can't see a plausible relation between wine and grub atm... unless you decided to have /boot as your wine-dir :-) (impossible in reality)
[04:27] <KDan> hello... i'm trying to get wireless working on a dell latitude D410, ubuntu 6.10. iwconfig shows the eth1 wireless, but lshw shows *-network DISABLED... I've made the wireless enabled by default in the bios (it already was)... tried telling it the ssid in ubuntu's network config... what else can i do?
[04:27] <LjL> Ubotu, tell wyld about software | wyld, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:28] <bulmer> Rug: several "grub 15 error"  explanations found on google
[04:28] <Rug> stefg: it might be a coincidence, but I thought I would provide all the setails
[04:28] <Rug> details
[04:28] <stefg> Rug: i'd have a careful look at your HD's smart-stats, and run a RAM-Test
[04:29] <bulmer> KDan: tried the "iwlist" commands yet?
[04:29] <stefg> !smartmontools
[04:29] <ubotu> smartmontools: control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.. In component main, is optional. Version 5.36-6ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 256 kB, installed size 620 kB
[04:29] <Rug> stefg: if it all looks good?  nuke &^ reinstall?
[04:30] <wyld> ljl, i knew about that, but i couldn't find it in synaptic, and didn't know the exact spelling in apt-get
[04:30] <KDan> bulmer: nope. *tries*
[04:30] <stefg> Rug: backing up before might be a good idea... theres always some setting which you'll need afterwards again
[04:30] <LjL> wyld: then "apt-cache search thunder" would have helped
[04:30] <wyld> oh
[04:30] <vinylgirl> Hello, I have the following problem: when I connect my USB WiFi adapter, it always shows as eth1 and never as wlan0 I did vi /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[04:30] <wyld> i didn't know aboot that
[04:30] <Rug> ok thanks
[04:31] <LjL> wyld: which is why i gave you those factoids ;)
[04:31] <vinylgirl> and put alias wlan0 zd1211rw
[04:31] <vinylgirl> but it stills shows up as eth1 in iwconfig
[04:31] <CaptainMorgan> anyone know why proftpd when trying to start it hangs?
[04:31] <KDan> bulmer: no scan results
[04:32] <jbroome> CaptainMorgan: not off hand, but i'm pretty sure it logs to /var/log
[04:32] <vinylgirl> here's what the kernel says when I plugin my usb wifi adapter: Dec 29 16:29:45 lithium kernel: [17203961.060000]  zd1211rw 4-5:1.0: zd1211b chip 0ace:1215 v4810 high 00-02-72 AL2230_RF pa0 g--
[04:32] <narma> hello, how can change my xubuntu to ubuntu without reinstall ?
[04:32] <vinylgirl> shows up as eth1
[04:32] <IdleOne> narma, sudoa aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[04:32] <IdleOne> narma, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[04:33] <bulmer> KDan: umm the driver for your chips may have not been loaded yet or non-functional non-compatible with the chips you have..you can try  lsmod to see which driver module is loaded for your chip
[04:33] <CaptainMorgan> there's no log jbroome, this would be the first time Im starting it... maybe it's a bad config file?
[04:33] <IdleOne> narma, after thats installed you will need to logout and back in chosing gnome insession at login screen
[04:34] <stefg> narma: by sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop you get all the ubuntu setup... but you have to get rid of the xfce packages manually
[04:34] <narma> IdleOne, ubuntu-desktop will update all the system to be a ubuntu that's right ?
[04:34] <bulmer> KDan: as a consolation, my ACX11 TI chips seems to be non-functional with the stock driver that came with ubuntu, I could not get it to scan either
[04:34] <narma> stef, IdleOne thanks :)
[04:34] <KDan> bulmer: I think the module is "bcm43xx" since it's a broadcom 4306
[04:34] <IdleOne> narma, yes but like stefg said you will need to remove xfce by hand if you choose to do so
[04:34] <KDan> it's there when i type lsmod
