[12:01] <andreasdohl> tried a external mice/keyboard dosage?
[12:01] <andreasdohl> have you dualbooted to win etc?
[12:01] <andreasdohl> if you have win that is
[12:01] <dosage> havent gone that far yet
[12:02] <andreasdohl> or, is the keyboard working in bios?
[12:02] <dosage> this is a 100% ubuntu laptop
[12:02] <dosage> so no dual boot
[12:02] <andreasdohl> ok, works navigatin in bios?
[12:02] <seodavi1> I have been having a few problems, main one being that webmin will not allow connections to people outside the lan, when i first installed it till it did a reboot it worked tho
[12:02] <ubuntuEdgy> can any one help with firestarter , it wont start after the os has loaded
[12:02] <lunahood> hallo leute, wie heisst nochmal der in feisty verwendete standard window-manager ? wrde da gerne eine einstellung ndern brauch nen begriff zum googlen
[12:02] <andreasdohl> ubuntuEdgy: what do you mean wont start
[12:03] <seodavi1> and nobody, even over the lan can connect to my sql/ of ftp server
[12:03] <lunahood> ups, sry ^
[12:03] <kitche> ubuntuEdgy: you have to add firestarter to your auto-start list since it's just a gui for iptables which runs anyways on boot
[12:03] <humpinH> hi, i upgraded my windows from xp to vista, and my grub got pretty much screwed.  what are my options?
[12:03] <uberushaximus> !grub
[12:03] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:03] <jimqode_> hello! I need help with changing to font used in xdosemu to one that supports turkish
[12:03] <andreasdohl> humpinH: reinstall grub
[12:03] <dosage> Alrighty, so when the next crash happens, the most likely log to contain info would be the messages log?
[12:04] <jimqode_> hello! I need help with changing the font used in xdosemu to one that supports turkish
[12:04] <andreasdohl> run the install again and choose reinstall bootloader
[12:04] <mtappenden> Hi all
[12:04] <andreasdohl> dosage: yes it should... then try and google the error...
[12:04] <mtappenden> How can I use BitTorrent if it's banned on my school network?
[12:05] <ubuntuEdgy> kitche: i have add it to start at boot
[12:05] <dosage> assuming there is an error =(
[12:05] <andreasdohl> mtappenden: you cant
[12:05] <Paranoiak> hack the firewall
[12:05] <Paranoiak> :D
[12:05] <dosage> scanning the log now doesnt show anything alarming, but again I am a newbi
[12:05] <mtappenden> andreasdohl: No way of using some kind of proxy or tunnel lor smething?
[12:05] <ubuntuEdgy> kitche:it seems to be a common thing, i found lots of posts about the same thing on google
[12:05] <andreasdohl> mtappenden: nah, not in a big network as your school...
[12:05] <seodavi1> mtappenden: just leave the downloads running on your home pc?
[12:06] <mtappenden> andreasdohl: It's not a big network really, it's a very small private school, they don't have a very mainstream network
[12:06] <andreasdohl> i mean, if you have the skills for bypassing the network be my guest, but most schools have packet sniffers that record things like that...
[12:06] <andreasdohl> hm... what kind of network are we talking about?
[12:06] <mtappenden> seodavi1: i don't hve a home PC, only a laptop, and I'm at school like 80% of the time
[12:06] <andreasdohl> servers? users?
[12:07] <gerro> wietz0r: thx for all the help, I'm just kind of frustrated and having a bad day. Got the problem fixed though
[12:07] <mike3_> Hacker alert
[12:07] <mike3_> Just use a proxy via web
[12:07] <andreasdohl> mike3_: for bittorrent?
[12:07] <wietz0r> gerro: No problem
[12:07] <mike3_> Oh geez. Do you want to be arressted?
[12:07] <jimqode_> did anyone succeed in changing xdosemu font?
[12:07] <andreasdohl> last time i checked bittorrent didnt use port 80...
[12:07] <andreasdohl> arrested for what?
[12:07] <andreasdohl> talking about security?
[12:07] <mike3_> andreasdohl, what are you wanting to download
[12:08] <mike3_> you can tell your client to use port 80
[12:08] <hays> Is Ubuntu Lite still alive?
[12:08] <gerro> mik3_: no but you can handcuff me to the bed anytime cutie :P
[12:08] <mike3_> but you won't be sharing
[12:08] <Zack> Hey! Would anyone know what plug-in i need to access higher-end websites? Ex: scion.com
[12:08] <mike3_> gerro, Fantastic!
[12:08] <andreasdohl> mike3_ no you cant use port 80...
[12:08] <aburns> Why does order # 2359724 say it shipped, but no tracking #. Customer waiting ticket # 1355674
[12:08] <mike3_> andreasdohl, I know you can change ports on clients, so why not try port 80?
[12:08] <Zack> With Firefox.
[12:08] <gerro> hays: what is ubuntu lite? I heard of fluxbuntu which is kind of lite
[12:09] <andreasdohl> because its the http port
[12:09] <someone2005> Whats the best way to install a bin file on ubuntu ?
[12:09] <hays> fluxbuntu?  heh is there fvwm2buntu?
[12:09] <andreasdohl> and any traficc thats not http does not get thorugh
[12:09] <andreasdohl> through
[12:09] <mike3_> andreasdohl, so
[12:09] <cafuego> andreasdohl: since when?
[12:09] <andreasdohl> traffic... damn its late
[12:09] <Zack> Hello.........
[12:09] <hays> e.g., ubuntfvwm2
[12:09] <cafuego> Zack: adobe flash
[12:09] <andreasdohl> well, theoretically, nothing but htp will get through...
[12:09] <andreasdohl> http
[12:09] <andreasdohl> ffs
[12:09] <Zack> cafuego: i have downloaded adobe flash
[12:10] <mike3_> andreasdohl, well if they have something monitoring the packets then you're screwed.
[12:10] <cafuego> andreasdohl: ant traffic will go over port 80 as long as it's not filtered by your isp
[12:10] <andreasdohl> mike3_ read up, im not the one wnating to use bittorrent
[12:10] <Zack> cafuego: or at least the version that YouTube uses... any other specific versions needed?
[12:10] <andreasdohl> im not even in school
[12:10] <mike3_> cafuego, Not ture if he has a smart enough firewall/proxy handling it
[12:10] <cafuego> andreasdohl: the only trick is that it's a port udner 1024, so you need to be root locally to listen on 80.
[12:10] <mike3_> andreasdohl, man i've used port 80
[12:11] <andreasdohl> but thats cool for you mike3_ if you can use port 80 for bittorrent thats good for you
[12:11] <mike3_> cafuego, he'd at least get traffic out , but won't be able to host
[12:11] <angel_> my mp3 to my ipod using gtkpod?
[12:11] <mtappenden> I set my client to use port 80 and it does nothing still
[12:11] <mike3_> andreasdohl, go lick something
[12:11] <gerro> wietz0r: uggh its still not working... but I got rid of some of the buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block messages now lot of sr0 ones and 2 fd0s
[12:11] <cafuego> mike3_: if he runs torrent as root he will
[12:11] <gerro> wietz0r: I tried disabling floppy in bios
[12:11] <andreasdohl> mike3_: thats so mature
[12:11] <mike3_> cafuego, unless the firewall policy disables it
[12:11] <someone2005> a boot disc for the bin file ?
[12:11] <mike3_> andreasdohl, and I care.
[12:11] <wietz0r> gerro: can't you rip the flopy out ?
[12:12] <cafuego> mike3_: in which case, switch ISPs
[12:12] <DigitalHighway> help
[12:12] <nitzan> Im new to Ubuntu and would like 2 ave some help
[12:12] <DigitalHighway> help
[12:12] <kitche> !ask
[12:12] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:12] <mike3_> cafuego, yes but this is his school 's firewalls..
[12:12] <DigitalHighway> ok
[12:12] <hays> Is Fluxbuntu the "lightest" ubuntu?
[12:12] <cafuego> mike3_: ah, ouch
[12:12] <nitzan> its to eard to follow
[12:12] <gerro> wietz0r: there is *no* floppy, the thing is the cdrom can be taken out and switched with a floppy anytime I think its hot swappable too perhaps, so the kernel is trying to detect an imaginary floppy drive and getting that confused with the cd its booting off of
[12:12] <mtappenden> School uses ISA Server 2000 as a firewall
[12:12] <kitche> hays: well fluxbuntu is not an official ubuntu project
[12:12] <DigitalHighway> I am trying to install ubuntu 6.06 on my Dell 6000 laptop computer
[12:12] <wietz0r> gerro: Do you have a floppy disk ?
[12:12] <someone2005> I did I get no answers...2007
[12:13] <mike3_> damn computer won't come up via alarm
[12:13] <mike3_> bb
[12:13] <seodavid> I need some help with getting Webmin to work externally, and set up a vnc server on this box... anyone able 2 help?
[12:13] <angel_> how can i copy my mp3 to my ipod using gtkpod?
[12:13] <rvb> hays: I'm guessing the lightest ubuntu would be to install as server
[12:13] <DigitalHighway> to my understanding you can only have four "total" partitions
[12:13] <gerro> hays: fluxbuntu looks awweeesome, can't wait until I can try it on my new system :)
[12:13] <hays> rvb: lightest ubuntu with X
[12:13] <wietz0r> gerro: apt-get install fluxbox, done
[12:13] <kitche> DigitalHighway: well four primary partitions
[12:13] <wietz0r> also gerro if you have a floppy drive, just install it using floppys
[12:13] <gravemind> how do I mount an external hard drive with write permissions?
[12:13] <andreasdohl> why bother worrying about proxys and firewalls when you can just ask mike3_ to show you how to use port 80 as a bittorrent port
[12:13] <gerro> wietz0r: that isn't fluxbuntu it uses rox and few other things
[12:14] <hays> rvb: I'm looking for something I can virtualize without dedicating too much resources to for basic development purposes
[12:14] <kitche> TaJMoX: is there a reason why you ctcp me?
[12:14] <gerro> wietz0r: but i will have same problem as the cd
[12:14] <wietz0r> gerro: apt-get install fluxbox, rox, etcetera"
[12:14] <gravemind> I tried sudo mount -rw /dev/sdb1 /media/LaCie/
[12:14] <DigitalHighway> but my dell has three partitions already
[12:14] <wietz0r> gerro: O :(
[12:14] <Matic`Makovec> Is there a way to run windows .NET executables? :x
[12:14] <hays> rvb: and preferably out of the box so I don't have to waste too much time with it
[12:14] <DigitalHighway> I can not create a swap and /root partitions
[12:14] <Matic`Makovec> I know I need some kind of Mono but I'm not really familiar with setting this up
[12:14] <TaJMoX> kitche i was wondering what client you were using
[12:14] <magnetron> TaJMoX: offtopic
[12:14] <seodavid> I need some help with getting Webmin to work externally, and set up a vnc server on this box... anyone able 2 help?
[12:14] <gerro> tell wietz0r: I think the problem might be that this is a dvd/cdrw drive and not for normal cds so can't boot off of it
[12:14] <Zack> Would anyone know what i need to access scion.com on Firefox?
[12:15] <DigitalHighway> that would be 5 partitions total?
[12:15] <rvb> hays: I'm not an expert but fluxbox is pretty light so fluxbuntu should suit you just fine.
[12:15] <kitche> magnetron: he was anwsering my question to him
[12:15] <macd> Zack, flash.
[12:15] <hays> rvb: xfce.. is that lighter you think?
[12:15] <rvb> hays: nope
[12:15] <hays> rvb: I've not spent much time with fluxbox
[12:15] <Zack> macd: I know, this is weird i have all updated Java and Adobe but it just doesnt work.
[12:16] <unagi> can anyone tell me how to customize or download customized taskbars for ubuntu
[12:16] <DigitalHighway> does anyone own a dell inspiron 6000 laptop
[12:16] <unagi> and mouse pointers?
[12:16] <seodavid> is anyone able to help me?
[12:16] <rvb> hays: xfce is a desktop environment, fluxbox is a window manager
[12:16] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - dell 6400 / e1505 here ...
[12:16] <TaJMoX> inspiron
[12:16] <DigitalHighway> Tajmox have you tried to install linux on your computer
[12:16] <macd> Zack, if you goto http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
[12:16] <Paranoiak> il existe un package pour arreter de fumer?
[12:17] <Paranoiak> oups
[12:17] <macd> Zack, do you get the flash plugin is installed there?
[12:17] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - ubuntu works perfectly for me - but in feisty the video driver on the cd didnt work and i had to install it manually to get the live cd to boot
[12:17] <seodavid> :(
[12:17] <Zack> macd: yes
[12:17] <macd> Zack, what error, if any do you get on scion.com
[12:18] <Zack> it will not finish its load macd
[12:18] <DigitalHighway> I have currently have three partitions, if i add a root and swap partitions that you make 5 partitions which does not work
[12:18] <jimqode_> seodavid, doesn't webmin accept connections from outside by default?
[12:18] <rvb> I connected an external usb harddrive to my computer, next time I started it Ubuntu wouldn't start, now I can only access the windows partition (after doing fixmbr to get rid of grub). I've tried reinstalling Ubuntu but that doesn't work, now I tried Debian which won't install either. I've written a thread on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2906074 about it which has more info and...
[12:18] <rvb> ...would appreciate if someone could take the time to check it out. Thanks.
[12:18] <macd> yeah, it wont get past 80% here either, its the website, not you.
[12:18] <DigitalHighway> did you run into trouble with partitions Taj
[12:18] <Zack> macd: my windows computer loads it just fine
[12:18] <macd> Mine doesnt
[12:19] <seodavid> jimqode:it stopped working
[12:19] <seodavid> poss to do with ports
[12:19] <seodavid> and no not running firestarter etc
[12:19] <Zack> macd: :-/ how does that work?
[12:19] <macd> Zack, it works fine for both my machines now
[12:20] <DigitalHighway> how do you install ubuntu on a dell inspirion 6000 that starts out with three partitions
[12:20] <macd> If you still have problems, clear your private data and try again, I suspect the site is flakey at the moment
[12:20] <jimqode_> seodavid, login to webmin from localhost. go to webmin/webmin configuration/ip access control
[12:20] <Zack> macd:.......80%
[12:20] <Zack> 80%
[12:21] <macd> Zack, well its not bad flash, and its not firefox, thats fairly obvious.
[12:21] <macd> Zack, so......its not really an ubuntu issue
[12:21] <fejker> can anybody help me with this: fejker@fejker-laptop:~$ sudo modprobe speedstep-centrino FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): Device or resource busy
[12:21] <Zack> macd: soooo what is it?
[12:21] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - choose manual when the installer gets to disks then you can choose / as the mountpoint on the free space you want to use
[12:21] <macd> Zack, <macd> If you still have problems, clear your private data and try again, I suspect the site is flakey at the moment
[12:21] <Cain> does beryl work with enlightenment?
[12:21] <fejker> I'm trying to make CPU scaling work on my C2D T5500
[12:22] <Zack> ook
[12:22] <macd> Cain, ask in #enlightenment
[12:22] <kitche> Cain: no since they both are window managers'
[12:22] <DigitalHighway> what about the swap partition TAJ
[12:22] <Cain> so i have to use gnome if i want beryl
[12:22] <Cain> that sucks
[12:23] <Zack> macd: its just odd it works on my IE but not firefox
[12:23] <DigitalHighway> the root and swap partitions both need to be there right?
[12:23] <ataylor> hi I just did sudo apt-get kde and sudo apt-get kubuntu-default-settings
[12:23] <kitche> Cain: or xfce or kde
[12:23] <ataylor> but when I load kde the panel does not load
[12:23] <ataylor> just an empty bar at the bottom
[12:23] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - use gparted to make a 512mb or 1gb partition and format it as Linux Swap
[12:23] <ataylor> how can I rectify this?
[12:23] <kitche> Cain: Compiz Fusion might work by itself haven't checked it out really
[12:23] <Cain> enlightenment + beryl god that would be sweet
[12:23] <macd> Cain, on many other choices. But I suspect you really mean compiz not beryl.
[12:23] <Zack> oh well
[12:23] <Cain> yea compiz
[12:23] <DigitalHighway> TAJ
[12:23] <snwiem> hi guys...can anyone givem me a hint how to join #rythmbox at irc.gnome.org with xchat ?
[12:23] <macd> Compiz will work with most window managers
[12:24] <DigitalHighway> TAJ: I did that...which makes 4 partitions ....but I need to add the root partition which makes it 5...
[12:24] <Cain> im using intell i810 driver
[12:24] <Cain> but i cant find any hep file for i810
[12:24] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - ok then you will need an extended partition - which is a container for up to 6 more partitions
[12:24] <ataylor> anyone?
[12:25] <DigitalHighway> ok, how do I do that?
[12:25] <snwiem> forget about it :)
[12:25] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - so you can have 3 primary partitions - then make a extended partition - and you can keep the rest of the partitions in that
[12:25] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - gparted will do that for you if you have 3 or less partitions you can make an extended partition
[12:25] <gravemind> I have a problem with a hard drive that I can't get to mount as read write
[12:25] <macd> Cain, according to the compiz wiki, intel i810 works, in fact theyh ave instructions there on howto:
[12:25] <gravemind> how do I do that?
[12:25] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - extended partition is a container so that you can have more than 4 partitions on one drive
[12:26] <DigitalHighway> do you have instuctions on how to do that
[12:26] <DigitalHighway> this is all new to me
[12:26] <DigitalHighway> website?
[12:26] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - gparted is pretty intuitive - just right click on unused space and make new partition - tell it to be extended instead of primary
[12:26] <neil_> hi all.. how can i check what nvidia driver i have installed??
[12:27] <TaJMoX> neil_ glxinfo
[12:27] <Zyxus> neil_:run  nvidia-settings
[12:28] <DigitalHighway> can I delete partitions I have already created?
[12:28] <DigitalHighway> and start new without doing a clean install of windows xp
[12:28] <neil_> hmm I have 87.76, but beryl still gives no GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
[12:28] <neil_> surely thats new enough..
[12:30] <wastedfluid> Anyone have any kind of FAQ page about hibernating in Ubuntu 7.10?  or some kind of alternate hibernation methods? I can't find any.
[12:30] <DigitalHighway> how do you delete partitions in qparted
[12:30] <bur[n] er> wastedfluid: 7.10?  gutsy?  #ubuntu+1
[12:31] <wastedfluid> 7.10.
[12:31] <wastedfluid> er, not 7.10
[12:31] <wastedfluid> Shit.  I've been through a few distros.  fiesty.
[12:31] <Music_Shuffle> 7.04*?
[12:31] <wastedfluid> Hibernate goes crazy on my acer 5100.
[12:31] <Music_Shuffle> lol
[12:31] <bur[n] er> hibernate "just works" here
[12:31] <wastedfluid> yea, 7.04.. lol, sorry.
[12:31] <wastedfluid> Hibernate works the first time you hibernate it
[12:31] <bur[n] er> not "pretty" but it works
[12:31] <DigitalHighway> can you delete partitions in gparted?
[12:31] <wastedfluid> after that, it goes crazy.  my power button goes off, but the laptop stays on..
[12:32] <wastedfluid> DigitalHighway; yes.
[12:32] <DigitalHighway> and create new ones
[12:32] <wastedfluid> but, anyway, bur[n] er , hibernate goes crazy.. it just turns everything off, doesn't go to "sleeP" i guess.. but monitor stays on, and after a few minutes, te login box pops up.. but the keyboard is disabled
[12:32] <bur[n] er> wastedfluid: try the wiki or the forums?  or googling your specific laptop model?
[12:32] <Grenade> im trying to get ntp to load on boot but i don't know how to use the rc.d stuff i tried using sysc-rc-conf but ntp isn't listed in along with the rest of the progs that load on boot.
[12:33] <wastedfluid> bur[n] er; tried both. >:|
[12:33] <wastedfluid> not wiki, but the forums, and googling my laptopmodel.
[12:33] <Zyxus> DigitalHighway: cfdisk might be easier to use for newbie
[12:33] <bur[n] er> wiki might have info if other people have your model and can at least confirm it doesn't work :)
[12:34] <bur[n] er> it also just works on my compaq laptop
[12:34] <wastedfluid> well, it works, the FIRST time you hibernate
[12:34] <yokomo> is there an easy to use spectrometer program in linux?
[12:34] <wastedfluid> after you wake it, and try agian.. it goes bezerk.
[12:35] <bur[n] er> wastedfluid: i'm pretty sure I hibernate it all the time
[12:35] <mike3_> hi..
[12:35] <mike3_> holy fantastic
[12:35] <absolutemstr> hey
[12:35] <absolutemstr> got a question about var/www how do i access it

[12:36] <ParanoyaM> can anybody tell me how to start swat?
[12:37] <wietz0r> ParanoyaM: /etc/init.d/swat start
[12:37] <wietz0r> I guess if it's a service
[12:37] <absolutemstr> i need help with put files in /var/www but cant access it
[12:37] <wastedfluid> wow.
[12:37] <aaanone> alright, my sound was working just fine and then I installed kdesktop and even after uninstalling it my sound will not work at all under GNOME...it is very frustrating

[12:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about proftpd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:38] <absolutemstr> anyone here an apache expert?
[12:38] <bur[n] er> Aviel: in any event, it's on the wiki..  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ProFTPD
[12:39] <ParanoyaM> weitz0r, sudo: /etc/init.d/swat: command not found - i recieved this
[12:39] <intangir> absolutemstr: i am ;)
[12:39] <Aviel> ok
[12:39] <preaction> absolutemstr: the people in #apache are, but your problem is more than /var/www isn't writable by your user. you either need to change the owner of /var/www or you need to do things as root (BAD IDEA)
[12:39] <Aviel> i go in to wiki
[12:39] <Aviel> yay
[12:39] <Aviel> thx for guide
[12:39] <Aviel> :))))
[12:39] <wietz0r> ParanoyaM: type "which swat"
[12:39] <dandrews> has anyone ever had any issues with F-Spot crapping out when importing images, giving an 'out of memory' error?  This only happens with images I exported from Aperture on my Mac (in JPEG format)
[12:40] <wastedfluid> bur[n] er;
[12:40] <wastedfluid> I tried -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2875529 , and it worked.
[12:40] <wastedfluid> s2disk, and s2ram work.. just had to replace the suspend script, and hibernate script.
[12:40] <ParanoyaM> weitz0r, /usr/sbin/swat
[12:41] <wietz0r> ParanoyaM: have you tried running it ?
[12:41] <wietz0r> sudo swat ?
[12:41] <ParanoyaM> no
[12:41] <ParanoyaM> yes sudo swat
[12:41] <wietz0r> that would probably start it
[12:41] <intangir> you dont run swat from the command line
[12:41] <ParanoyaM> sudo /usr/svin/swat start?
[12:41] <intangir> and i believe swat is run from inetd
[12:41] <intangir> so you dont start it
[12:41] <intangir> you just goto port 901 or something like that
[12:41] <intangir> localhost:901
[12:42] <ParanoyaM> i tried
[12:42] <ParanoyaM> page not found
[12:42] <intangir> do you have inetd loaded?
[12:42] <ParanoyaM> i really new in linux, so i don't understand what do you mean buy saiyn inetd loaded
[12:43] <intangir> check /etc/inetd.conf
[12:43] <intangir> make sure there is a line in there for swat, and that its not #commented out
[12:43] <rgl> hello.
[12:43] <intangir> it SHOULD be in there if you installed swat
[12:44] <ParanoyaM> intangir, :swat		stream	tcp	nowait.400	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	/usr/sbin/swat
[12:44] <ParanoyaM> i head this string there
[12:44] <rgl> I'm a bit stumbled with this.  I've installed ubuntu into the HD, but when it restarts, the PC just seems to hang at boot without showing the grub prompt.  any ideia why?
[12:44] <ParanoyaM> had
[12:44] <kel39ru> hey, guys, is swap a must?
[12:44] <TaJMoX> not really
[12:44] <tarzeau> kel39ru: no
[12:44] <ParanoyaM> no it is not!
[12:44] <intangir> ParanoyaM: well hrm it should work then, type this: cat /etc/services | grep swat
[12:44] <TaJMoX> kel39ru using all your ram up is rare unless you're doing advanced stuff
[12:44] <tarzeau> intangir: can just do grep swat /etc/services
[12:45] <tarzeau> TaJMoX: really depends on the amount of ram
[12:45] <kel39ru> oke, its nice then, cuz it's kinda difficult to fit something on 171mb hd ;)
[12:45] <Music_Shuffle> TaJMoX, ...might want to ask him how much RAM he has first before you say that :P
[12:45] <ParanoyaM> intagir, swat            901/tcp                         # swat
[12:45] <intangir> well thats weird, looks like everything is there
[12:46] <intangir> ParanoyaM: try this: sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart
[12:46] <kel39ru> i wold like to have some swap, cuz it also have only 32mb ram, but.. heh -.-
[12:46] <ParanoyaM> firefox cannot establish connection with localhost:901
[12:46] <Cain> sudo update-alternatives config Xorg update-alternatives: unknown argument `config'
[12:46] <Music_Shuffle> kel39ru, how much RAM do you have?
[12:46] <Cain> whats the problem?
[12:47] <ParanoyaM> intagir, sudo: /etc/init.d/inetd: command not found
[12:47] <kel39ru> Music_Shuffle: read above ;)
[12:47] <rgl> I've installed ubuntu, but when it tries to boot from HD nothing happens... can you guys help me out troubleshoot this?
[12:47] <Music_Shuffle> kel39ru, 32 mb?  >.>
[12:47] <intangir> ParanoyaM: aha!
[12:47] <Zyxus> rgl: did you install boot mgr like grub
[12:48] <kel39ru> actually, there are 6 x 8mb things inside, but i dunno why, but a the prompt i got only 32..
[12:48] <rgl> Zyxus, the normal install did install grub.  but nothing happears, no prompt at all :|
[12:48] <ParanoyaM> intangir, so what i should do?
[12:48] <Music_Shuffle> kel39ru, what exactly are you installing...on?
[12:48] <mx-zoom> 32ram?? my portable gps has got 128mb :P
[12:48] <intangir> ParanoyaM: check my private messages
[12:49] <Zyxus> rgl: did you set hd boot priority in BIOS
[12:49] <rgl> Zyxus, yes, I did.
[12:49] <Music_Shuffle> Cain, did you...check with the tab command to see if what you tried was...'legal'?
[12:49] <slonbg> hi, when listing partitions with fdisk, what means the plus (+) sign after the Blocks column? i.e. some partitions have + after their size in blocks, and others do not.
[12:49] <Zyxus> rdl do you have dual boot on this hd
[12:49] <intangir> bah, i didnt log in so you cant see my queries
[12:50] <intangir> ParanoyaM: first make a backup copy of your inetd.conf
[12:50] <lbs> is there a way to run a Windows program on ubuntu?
[12:50] <kel39ru> truing to do HD install of DSL (not frugal) on an: cpu - 120mhz, 32mb ram, 171mb hd, 512 or somthing like that kilobyte gpu.. -.-
[12:50] <ParanoyaM> i don't see an private messages
[12:50] <rgl> Zyxus, nope.  I've got this: http://pastie.caboo.se/73405
[12:50] <intangir> ParanoyaM: apparently swat didnt depend on inetd, even though it needs it, so it didnt add to the config, since it didnt exist yet
[12:50] <Music_Shuffle> Err....DSL != Ubuntu :P
[12:50] <slonbg> lbs: sometimes. what program you want to run?
[12:50] <rbs-tito> !wine | lbs
[12:50] <ubotu> lbs: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:50] <intangir> ParanoyaM: type this: sudo cp /etc/inetd.conf inetd.conf.b4
[12:50] <ParanoyaM> intagir, how i should create it
[12:51] <ParanoyaM> ok
[12:51] <rgl> Zyxus, I'm using a /boot partition on the first HD.  then, I'm using LVM on the two HD.
[12:51] <intangir> ParanoyaM: sudo apt-get install openbsd-inetd
[12:51] <__mikem> Can someone help me. Everytime I boot my system 20 times and it does the forced file system check, fsck hangs and I have to use the install cd to boot into a rescue shell. Can someone help me remidy this
[12:51] <lbs> slonbg: it's a program called CoastalNet
[12:51] <Music_Shuffle> __mikem, how long does it hang for?
[12:51] <kel39ru> sry man, but this (Ubuntu) is what i run on my normal desctop, i like it, and i dont think i can find a better channel then thisone, for linux discussion ;)
[12:51] <ParanoyaM> intagir it is ok now
[12:52] <Zyxus> rgl: LVM boot disk is problematic... never messed with LVM on boot
[12:52] <__mikem> Music_Shuffle, It hangs for ever.
[12:52] <TaJMoX> kel39ru - dsl forum?
[12:52] <Music_Shuffle> kel39ru, yeah, I get what you're trying to do, but you didn't specify it earlier, so it was confusing :P
[12:52] <slonbg> lbs: try with wine, as rbs-tito said
[12:52] <ParanoyaM> intagir, what i should do next?
[12:52] <rgl> Zyxus, I got /boot on a non-LVM partition
[12:52] <Music_Shuffle> __mikem, I meant like...how long have you...waited/counted?
[12:52] <__mikem> Music_Shuffle, the system effectively freezes
[12:53] <intangir> ParanoyaM: you installed openbsd-inetd?
[12:53] <j1tters> hey all. anyone happen to have a TomTom and using it under ubuntu?
[12:53] <slonbg> lbs: if it does not work, you can try crossover office (its payed product, but has a free trieal). its based on wine, with some improvements
[12:53] <ParanoyaM> yes
[12:53] <kel39ru> i dont expect Ubuntu to run on this hardware, i tryed Debian, but it dint finished installation neather :)
[12:53] <ParanoyaM> intagir, yes
[12:53] <intangir> ParanoyaM: did you copy the swat line back into inetd.conf?
[12:53] <TaJMoX> DSL is awesome with the toram option
[12:53] <lbs> thanks for the wine suggestion - one follow up question: do programs run significantly slower on wine?
[12:53] <TaJMoX> kel39ru DSL runs your hardware but ubuntu doesnt?
[12:53] <Tru7h> Is there a way to have some sort of file that when run would do a bunch of different things like replacing a file, moving a file, opening firefox, running some commands, opening firefox again to a certain page, then replacing more files?
[12:53] <TaJMoX> oh nvm
[12:53] <AusME> What cmd parms should I pass to what program to cause a program to open with a given dimensions?
[12:53] <Tru7h> Possibly through the terminal
[12:53] <intangir> ParanoyaM: sudo cat /etc/inetd.conf.b4 >> /etc/inetd.conf
[12:53] <Music_Shuffle> __mikem, oh...ouch.  I know mine tends to hang at spots for ~5-10 minutes sometimes when its being difficult, but it tends to resolve if I wait it out.  /shrug.
[12:54] <kel39ru> yes, dsl runs, as i sayd above 171mb hd, aint gonna hold Ubuntu hehe :)
[12:54] <Zyxus> rgl: you installed grub to sda
[12:54] <ParanoyaM> intagir, bash: /etc/inetd.conf: Permission denied
[12:54] <hacked_kernel> I'm installing jdk from the .bin file, I used java-package to generate the deb package but it give this messages and doesn't produce the deb pack "No matching plugin was found.
[12:54] <hacked_kernel> Removing temporary directory: done"
[12:54] <intangir> ParanoyaM: sudo cat /etc/inetd.conf.b4 >> /etc/inetd.conf
[12:54] <intangir> it gave you that error?
[12:54] <jrib> hacked_kernel: why don't you use the packaged java?
[12:55] <rgl> Zyxus, ubuntu install does that, no?
[12:55] <intangir> ParanoyaM: did it work?
[12:55] <hacked_kernel> jrib: because I'm installing the a recent version with update that its not on the source repositories
[12:55] <kel39ru> also wanted to try FreeBSD + fluxbox (would of been something new to lern for me) but i decided stay on linux for yet :)
[12:55] <ParanoyaM> intagir, i typed what you said and get this
[12:55] <ParanoyaM> bash: /etc/inetd.conf: Permission denied
[12:55] <intangir> ParanoyaM: ok try it like this instaed ;)
[12:55] <intangir> ParanoyaM: sudo su
[12:56] <intangir> ParanoyaM: cat /etc/inetd.conf.b4 >> /etc/inetd.conf
[12:56] <intangir> lol
[12:56] <TECH-> I gave windows up..I need to know what program in apt-get can I use for recording audio or video..thank you.
[12:56] <rgl> Zyxus, if there is not boot loader, the BIOS halts with a message, no?
[12:56] <Music_Shuffle> TECH-, have you tried Audacity?
[12:56] <Music_Shuffle> For audio.
[12:56] <intangir> ParanoyaM: then after that: /etc/init.d/inetd restart
[12:56] <Zyxus> rgl: sometimes it just hangs
[12:56] <TECH-> No..will it record for a good period?
[12:56] <rgl> Zyxus, without a message at all?
[12:57] <Music_Shuffle> TECH-, pretty much as long as you want...I've never been able to max it out or anything.
[12:57] <Zyxus> rgl: run live cd and then install grub to sda1
[12:57] <ParanoyaM> intagir, cat: /etc/inetd.conf.b4: No such file or directory
[12:57] <TECH-> Excellent...Thank You.
[12:57] <intangir> bah, didnt you make the copy before you installed ?
[12:57] <intangir> ParanoyaM: copy this line to the bottom of your inetd.conf file :swatIIstreamItcpInowait.400IrootI/usr/sbin/tcpdI/usr/sbin/swat
[12:57] <intangir> im not sure if you need the first : or not
[12:57] <Zyxus> rgl: yes i have had no grub in MBR and it just hangs..no msg
[12:57] <Music_Shuffle> TECH- GL :)
[12:57] <intangir> thats from what you pasted me
[12:58] <Zyxus> rgl: you can run grub-install or from cmd line run grub
[12:59] <ParanoyaM> intagir, with semicoma?
[12:59] <rgl> Zyxus, I'll try to install it.  its just grub-install /dev/sda ?
[12:59] <capiira> hmm hi how to find a harddisk UUID out ?
[01:00] <ParanoyaM> intagir, and where i can find inetd.conf file
[01:00] <intangir> ParanoyaM: 1 sec
[01:00] <ParanoyaM> Oh

[01:00] <ParanoyaM> Intagir, Thank you very much
[01:01] <intangir> ParanoyaM: your welcome
[01:01] <intangir> it woulda worked without issue if swat had correctly depended on inetd
[01:01] <ParanoyaM> intagir, maybe you can help me one more time?

[01:03] <ParanoyaM> intagir, but in my workgroup i can see only my pc, but if i'll type an ip op winxp pc i can access it
[01:03] <hacked_kernel> How to install java-6u1 from the .bin file?
[01:03] <intangir> ParanoyaM: maybe your not looking in the right workgroup
[01:03] <ParanoyaM> bo
[01:04] <Tru7h> Is there a way to have some sort of file that when run would do a bunch of stuff (possibly through the terminal) like moving files, opening and closing firefox, and running certain terminal commands? I'm currently stuck on a Live CD because something went wrong with my windows partition, and I'm tired of having to import my bookmarks and install flash every time I restart.
[01:04] <Tru7h> Thanks
[01:04] <ParanoyaM> intagir, no! i am in that group here is command line in smb.conf workgroup = HOME
[01:04] <wietz0r> Tru7h: You could maybe write some dirty shell script to do it
[01:04] <ParanoyaM> intagir, it is 100% correct workgroup
[01:04] <azades> list repositi ???
[01:05] <intangir> ParanoyaM: i dont know then, windows is lame ;) blame windows
[01:05] <azades> hoary
[01:05] <fLoW> hi, can someone help me? i have a AMD athlon XP 2800+, i wonder how i can enable CPU frequency scaling? also, i have a problem, if i enable 3D desktop (compiz), i cant see my borders & no titlebar of my windows, plz msg me ! :)
[01:05] <Music_Shuffle> Tru7h, but if you write a script for it, when you reboot, its going to be gone...and it might be more hassle to pastebin and save or something than to just...redo the entire process.
[01:05] <cafuego> Tru7h: If you have a flash drive, you can make the livecd run in persistent mode, so changes are saved.
[01:05] <ParanoyaM> intagir, i know that windows is lame, but i need to access pc
[01:05] <Music_Shuffle> cafuego, that's possible?
[01:05] <wietz0r> Music_Shuffle: usbkey
[01:05] <cafuego> Music_Shuffle: aye
[01:05] <wietz0r> or floppy, shellscripts are quite small
[01:05] <award09> fLow: are you using normal compiz, or compiz fusion?
[01:05] <__mikem> How do you change the font of your terminal?
[01:05] <charlie> guys, what are all of the ubuntu irc channels besides this one
[01:06] <Music_Shuffle> cafuego, ...that's pretty cool.  Thanks :D
[01:06] <kmasta> my monitor is capable of displaying 1400x900 res, but that's not one of the options in the res selector gui, what should I do?
[01:06] <intangir> ParanoyaM: all i can suggest is to goto nautilus: then on the menu select Go->Network
[01:06] <intangir> and browse them out, open windows network
[01:06] <intangir> select the right workgroup
[01:06] <Music_Shuffle> charlie, there's a lot of them.  #ubuntu-offtopic is fun ;)
[01:06] <intangir> and it should open them up
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> kmasta: ati or nvidia
[01:06] <ParanoyaM> intagir, it is very pity to me
[01:06] <intangir> it works for me, im in a large office and i can access 30 somethign guys from here
[01:06] <cafuego> kmasta: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' -> configure it, select 'Simple' for moionitors and then enabled all resolutions you need, including 1440x900.
[01:06] <Tru7h> Music_shuffle: I have a flash drive I'm keeping bookmarks and stuff on. Cafuego: How do I make it run in persistent mode? Can I to it with only half a 256 meg drive?
[01:06] <kmasta> jack_sparrow, ati
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[01:07] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:07] <intangir> ParanoyaM: maybe there is something fishy about the network setup
[01:07] <wietz0r> kmasta: do you use an intel ?
[01:07] <cafuego> Tru7h: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-live-cd-save-data-desktop-information-on-usb-device.html
[01:07] <__mikem> Does anyone know how to change the font in your terminal window
[01:07] <intangir> or maybe its not allowing certain broadcasts
[01:07] <kmasta> wiet0r, no amd
[01:07] <wietz0r> then I don't know
[01:07] <intangir> ParanoyaM: you can try typing in the compute rnames like "smb://someonesbox"
[01:07] <intangir> in nautilus
[01:08] <cafuego> Tru7h: or for more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence
[01:08] <intangir> nautilus i think can view/mount most windows shares even without samba installed
[01:08] <dan325> :( nobody know why my printer would randomly have stopped working.  It was working fine in Ubuntu -- it still works fine on my Windows machine.  Suddenly, I'm getting "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110" in my /var/log/syslog...  any ideas?
[01:08] <ParanoyaM> no
[01:08] <ParanoyaM> intagir, no
[01:08] <fLoW> award : normal compiz, "out of the box" feisty
[01:08] <ParanoyaM> intagir but smb://someonIP - yes
[01:09] <ParanoyaM> intagir
[01:09] <fLoW> award09: i'm using normal compiz, at least i thing ( ubuntu 7.04 out of the box)
[01:09] <intangir> ParanoyaM: well at least that works, not sure how else to help you on that, mine works already
[01:09] <award09> fLoW: sorry then, i know a workaround for compiz fusion (via beryl), but that seems like overkill for you
[01:09] <ParanoyaM> intagir, i found nmblookup
[01:09] <ParanoyaM> intagir, how i can use it?
[01:09] <__mikem> Can someone help me. Everytime I boot my system 20 times and it does the forced file system check, fsck hangs and I have to use the install cd to boot into a rescue shell. Can someone help me remidy this
[01:10] <cafuego> __mikem: fsck hangs?
[01:10] <fLoW> does anybody happen to know how to enable cpu frequency scaling for amd athlon xp +2800 ?
[01:10] <__mikem> yes
[01:10] <wietz0r> fLoW: Google does
[01:10] <fLoW> no google doesn't
[01:10] <cafuego> __mikem: if fsck hangs, your filesystem ahs problems, the forced fsck afetr 20 boots is normal (though not strictly needed normally).
[01:10] <fLoW> or i can't understand google
[01:10] <fLoW> (he's been drinking)
[01:10] <__mikem> cafuego, no, because when I run fsck from a rescue disk, it works fine
[01:11] <Tru7h> Cafuego: I'd rether not mess around with the filesystem and stuff on my drive. I have alot of stuff on there I don't want to risk.
[01:11] <Tru7h> Wietz0r: Where can I find more info on writing a "dirty script" like you said?
[01:11] <cafuego> __mikem: Then there is a problem with the fsck on the hdd, either way..

[01:11] <fisherpLLC> hello all
[01:11] <fLoW> dank u wel beste vriend :p
[01:11] <__mikem> cafuego, if it is a problem with the fsck on hdd, how do I fix that
[01:12] <cafuego> __mikem: You can change the interval via `tune2fs -C 0' (that disables it I think)
[01:12] <fLoW> thx m8 !!
[01:12] <cafuego> __mikem: I don't know until i know *what* the problem is. "Just hangs" is not really useful debugging info ;-)
[01:12] <bronze> Where can I find a tutorial on how to enable the side-buttons of my mouse in linux? I reckon it has something to do with xorg.conf, but I can't remember.

[01:22] <fisherpri> i'm wondering if i anyone has experience trying to install 7.04 onto a new hp pavilion tx 1000 would you?  the touch screen does a bizarre white to black transition thing when i boot from the live CD, never even get into the OS.  it happens in both 386 and 64 bit discs, in both normal and graphics-safe modes respectively
[01:22] <cafuego> Tru7h: Just pop the bash commands in an executable text file that starts with #!/bin/bash
[01:22] <Tru7h> Okay
[01:22] <loki0347> can anyone help AMD64 X2 will not boot live cd past kernel live screen?
[01:23] <fisherpri> loki: is it a turon?
[01:23] <loki0347> no athalon
[01:23] <loki0347> athlon*
[01:23] <fisherpri> ah, i'm having the same problem with a turon.. won't boot into the OS.. screen does weird tricks
[01:23] <python_> can anyone tell me is there a way to change the sid of a group in samba?, i need to make "Domain Admins" -512 it auto makes it -1001 ?
[01:24] <cafuego> does the `alternate' cd work ok?
[01:24] <loki0347> @isherpri: what is your problem?
[01:24] <cafuego> I used that on my X2 and had no problems.
[01:24] <fisherpri> i haven't tried that disc.. is the alternate CD the same OS?
[01:24] <fisherpri> i know it sounds silly
[01:26] <persica> fisherpri: that may well not have anything to do with your processor if your video is going crazy.  Try the alternate install CD.  It gives you some options instead of booting into the desktop.  one option is to do a text-based install.
[01:26] <fisherpri> ah!
[01:26] <persica> If it can't boot to the alternate install CD's menu then there really is something funky going.
[01:26] <fisherpri> do you know if 7.04 has support for touch screens?
[01:26] <persica> That I don't know.  I've never had to support a touch screen.
[01:26] <linxeh> touch screens should just work as a standard ps2 pointing device no ?
[01:27] <fisherpri> i was worried more about the drivers for making the screen function itself
[01:27] <linxeh> or USB I guess, depending on the implementation (the old touch screens I used worked that way)
[01:27] <fisherpri> then again, i have no idea how touch screens work lol
[01:27] <linxeh> a touch screen is just a normal LCD with a position sensing layer/film
[01:27] <persica> fisherpri: I know I've seen touch screens work with ubuntu.
[01:27] <fisherpri> ah!
[01:27] <linxeh> or a CRT one had a special base that detected the angle the screen was being pushed back etc
[01:28] <fisherpri> you gang are very helpful
[01:29] <bronze> Hey, check out this: Microsoft describes ubuntu as perfect: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:wrLRF8L6fpsJ:www.windowsmarketplace.com/details.aspx%3Fview%3Dinfo%26itemid%3D3411347+windows+market+place+ubuntu+is+perfect&hl=no&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=no
[01:29] <bronze> It's from google cache
[01:29] <persica> It's funny that that would make Microsoft a linux distributor. :)
[01:29] <cafuego> fisherpri: thing is, after 'Kernel Alive' it switches to a framebuffer... the alternate with text install doesn't do that.
[01:30] <cipy> what would you recommend AIXGL or Xgl ?
[01:30] <Alex288> quick question.  i get an error when i goto install Pidgin  "E: Couldn't find package pidgin" ,. any reason why ?
[01:30] <cafuego> bronze: They also describe Vista as 'good', so I don't think we'd want to be associated with them in any wany.
[01:31] <bronze> cafuego, haha good point, although I still think it's kinda funny :)
[01:31] <fisherpri> so cafuego, should i invoke any command then to do that switchover manually?
[01:32] <vaclav> Is there a PPC build of Ubuntu?
[01:32] <cafuego> yes
[01:32] <fisherpri> or smartphone???
[01:32] <cafuego> fisherpri: Oh, on the livecd? i don't know if it can.
[01:32] <kitche> !ppc | vaclav
[01:32] <ubotu> vaclav: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[01:33] <vaclav> ubotu: Thanks :P
[01:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks :p - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:33] <fisherpri> no, i mean i'm going to boot from the alternate and try that.. but you said something along the lines of switching to a framebuffer, and that the alternate doesnt do that.. should i enter a command to make it switch to framebuffer?
[01:33] <sj_> I am having a problem with Firefox not being able to connect to the internet. Could someone her help me or should I go somewhere else?
[01:34] <fisherpri> sj: can you ping any sites?
[01:34] <fisherpri> try opening a command prompt and typing:  ping www.cnet.com
[01:34] <sj_> yes. and I can obviously chat here.
[01:34] <persica> Alex288: if your question hasn't been answered, have you tried installing GAIM? Maybe your repositories don't have it under the new name.
[01:34] <Walkover> Hey a c programming question... How do I represent something in binary when i write my code. You know hex is something like 0xFFFF but how do i get to write the bits myself? like 0b1000100101
[01:34] <fisherpri> didn't know if it was the same machine
[01:34] <Walkover> something like that
[01:34] <cafuego> fisherpri: Nono, the alternate cannot run as a livecd, it does atext based install only, afaik.
[01:34] <fisherpri> for example, i'm on a VM right now
[01:35] <persica> Walkover: In a way, hex is binary.  Each 'digit' just maps to four hex bits.  It's also a lot more compact.
[01:35] <sj_> I just uninstalled dansguardian through synaptic and now I can't reach the internet.
[01:35] <fisherpri> cafuego: OH i understand.. so in other words, once the text-based installer completes, i should be able to boot into the OS as normal?
[01:35] <Walkover> yeah i know
[01:35] <HemliG> how to i make a root account ? i use server dist.
[01:35] <Walkover> but i want it in binary,,
[01:35] <hypnoticx> do any of you know how to "chkdsk" a drive?
[01:35] <cafuego> fisherpri: ideally yes. if not, you can at least boot into it in text mode and check logs :-)
[01:36] <cafuego> HemliG: sudo passwd
[01:36] <HemliG> cafuego thx.
[01:36] <name642> ok, so i am having a bad time with grub on my desktop
[01:36] <fisherpri> i wish there was a smartphone distro.. i'd load it right now
[01:36] <fisherpri> a motorola Q running ubuntu would be bad ass
[01:36] <persica> walkover: I sadly don't know enough about C to tell you.  I don't think I've ever used binary, though I vaguely remember a project where I might have wanted binary but used hex instead.
[01:37] <Walkover> ok no problem
[01:37] <HemliG> cafuego dont work ?
[01:37] <HemliG> hostis@server:~$ sudo passwd
[01:37] <HemliG> Password:
[01:37] <HemliG> Sorry, try again.
[01:37] <name642> it is giving me heck about "Error 17" which i see on the forums but none of those things mix my problem
[01:37] <persica> HemliG: sudo prompts you for your own password once if you haven't used it for the last five minutes or so.
[01:37] <cafuego> HemliG: first, enter your OWN password, for sudo.
[01:37] <cafuego> HemliG: *then* set the root password.
[01:37] <Walkover> im just trying to use a char as 8 booleans, and since it is such a small variable it would actually be more readable in binary
[01:38] <HemliG> w8
[01:38] <hypnoticx> when I try to mount my ntfs windows partition.. i get back "volume is dirty...try chkdsk"
[01:38] <gianni> hallo
[01:38] <persica> HemliG: after that you're asking it to run passwd as root, which will set the root password.  The account exists, you just can't log into it.
[01:38] <Alex288> persia : I have Gaim. but i want to update to Pidgin
[01:38] <cafuego> Walkover: why not use an int and bitmask it?
[01:38] <persica> Alex288:  I'm wondering if the package is still called gaim for backwards compatibility, though the version is actually > 2.0
[01:39] <Walkover> bitmask?
[01:39] <Pirate_Hunter> is it possible to run Getright from wine but using it on firefox, by that I mean without having to instal firefox on wine, could I just use my standard FF on ubuntu and run Getright inside that FF or do I need to download another one that has to run inside wine (I hope I made sense)
[01:39] <Walkover> cafuego, what is bitmask
[01:39] <cafuego> oh bother
[01:39] <Walkover> guess its a google
[01:39] <cafuego> yeh :-)
[01:39] <fisherpri> ubuntu is definitely the best coaster making project i've taken on
[01:40] <fisherpri> well slackware might have it beat, actually
[01:40] <persica> Alex288: I don't think pidgin is in the repositories yet.  Try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-pidgin-200-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-plugin-pack.html
[01:40] <cafuego> Walkover: basically, store your booleans as powers of 2.
[01:40] <fisherpri> i could serve a dinner party with my slack trash
[01:40] <cheeseboy> how i get bus identifier of my videocard?
[01:40] <sj_> fisherpri: did you catch my response?
[01:40] <persica> cheeseboy: What about lspci -v | grep <vidcard identifier>
[01:40] <cafuego> Walkover: So in binary notation, it;'s a string of 1's and 0's.
[01:40] <tritium> fisherpri: so what are you doing wrong?
[01:41] <cafuego> Walkover: When coding, you use a bitmask to set them... anwyay, you'll see.
[01:41] <Alex288> Thanks Persia
[01:41] <Larry> Chees - I'm new but maybe lspci
[01:41] <Walkover> yeah a lot turned up when i googled

[01:42] <eelmoo> Hello
[01:42] <Larry> hi
[01:42] <TheUni5> Hi
[01:43] <Pirate_Hunter> is it possible to run Getright from wine but using it on firefox, by that I mean without having to instal firefox on wine, could I just use my standard FF on ubuntu and run Getright inside that FF or do I need to download another one that has to run inside wine (I hope I made sense)
[01:44] <cheeseboy> how i get bus identifier of my videocard?
[01:44] <eelmoo> ?
[01:44] <Larry> Question for anyone willing.    I don't know of any work to allow wine processes to communicate with linux processes.
[01:44] <persica> Pirate_Hunter: though I don't know what Getright is.
[01:45] <Larry> getright is a downloading client
[01:45] <Walkover> thanks persica
[01:45] <Pirate_Hunter> persica: in my opinion one of the best windows download accelerator and manager
[01:45] <agn0stic> cheeseboy: scan through the output of "lspci -v" i think
[01:47] <agn0stic> cheeseboy: easier - sudo scanpci
[01:47] <persica> Pirate_Hunter: My guess is that it then expects a windows browser to hook into.  When you run an application in wine it only sees a certain subdirectory as its C: drive.  In addition it won't understand the linux version of firefox, so it won't be able to hook into your linux firefox.  You'd have to install a copy of firefox in Wine to use it.
[01:48] <cheeseboy> does nvidia drivers work?
[01:48] <persica> Pirate_Hunter: I don't know for sure, but that's how I believe it all works.

[01:50] <Larry>  Question for anyone willing.  I'm on a toshiba laptop, not using fglrx, and suspend never actually gets to suspend.  screen goes black but not off.  front lights stay on... hibernate works, but i loose screen brightness control after resuming.  Any ideas on either, esp suspend?
[01:50] <persica> Pirate_Hunter: I hear you.  Usually I'm able to find a native replacement for a Windows program, but this may not be one of those.
[01:50] <persica> Larry: sorry, I dont' know anything about hibernation or sleep in linux (though I'll be doign a linux laptop shortly!)
[01:51] <nerdboy1025> i am using an acer TM 800
[01:51] <Larry> Nice.  bought or installed over?
[01:51] <TaJMoX> pirate_hunter d4x is nice
[01:52] <persica> Larry: both, actually.  I should be getting a Dell for work and I want to install over OS X on my MacBook.
[01:52] <TaJMoX> apparently getright works in wine
[01:52] <Pirate_Hunter> persica: nope download accelerators hasnt caught up with linux distros yet and axel is useless cause it doesnt bypass what most server have implemented to stop download accelerator also the options on it are minimal to my requirements
[01:52] <TaJMoX> but you'll have to copy and paste the download links into getright - it wont capture them from ubuntu firefox
[01:53] <yeager_> anyone here good att LIVeS video editing program? It seems i need some help to get effects preview to work...
[01:53] <persica> A copy-and-paste isn't so bad.

[01:53] <Warbo> Hi, since upgrading to Feisty I have needed to disable power management due to kernel panics, but this is not optimal for a laptop. Trying to start things from single user mode like frequency scaling works fine, but I think it is the SATA hard drive which causes the panics whenever /etc/init.d/dbus is started. Does anyone know how I can selectively disable the buggy power management but keep the rest? Maybe some modules I sho
[01:54] <unagi> is it possible to run .rpm on ubuntu?
[01:54] <agn0stic> perscia: the firefox extension downthem all is somewhat like a download accelerator (does chunking and saving of partial downloads). I'm late to this, so I dont know if it's been reccomended to you, but it's similar to getright, and wouldn't require using wine.
[01:54] <Warbo> unagi: Yes, but don't use it for system-critical programs
[01:54] <Warbo> !rpm
[01:54] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[01:54] <unagi> just for maya
[01:54] <agn0stic> perscia: downthemall, one word. sorry
[01:54] <persica> agn0stic: it's actually Pirate_Hunter who is a fan of Getright.
[01:54] <Paranoiak> !imap
[01:54] <Warbo> unagi: You could try installing alien and using that to convert it to a Debian package
[01:55] <agn0stic> perscia: oh. oops.
[01:55] <unagi> that would be nice

[01:56] <gonzoism> i can shake my hips like shakira...
[01:56] <cheeseboy> ugh why wont nvidia drivers work on fiesty?
[01:57] <persica> maximal: The thunderbird mail should be in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/<profilestring>.default/Mail.  It's in a fairly standard format.
[01:57] <Pirate_Hunter> agn0stic: will try that for now will giv it a chance, today I had my first crash in opera funny enough the FF crash app came on lol
[01:57] <kitche> cheeseboy: they do
[01:57] <maximal> persica: thx i'll have a look
[01:57] <Pirate_Hunter> gonzoism: I hope youre a female cause if you aint thats disturbing
[01:57] <nerdboy1025> lol
[01:57] <nerdboy1025> i was thinking the same thing
[01:58] <gonzoism> Pirate_Hunter i'm just being disturbing/disruptive.
[01:58] <larson9999> unagi, for what it's worth, i use alien pretty often for a LONG time now, when the repositories don't update some of the packages i use often enough.  ooo is often installed on my machine via alien.  i haven't had any issues.
[01:58] <cheeseboy> kitche, not since i upgraded to fiesty they dont
[01:58] <Erdaron> could someone tell me the command for re-initializing xorg's configuration upon installing a new video card?
[01:58] <kitche> cheeseboy: how did you install the nvidia drivers
[01:58] <cheeseboy> apt-get
[01:58] <nerdboy1025> lol
[01:58] <agn0stic> Erdaron: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:58] <Larry> oh, i knnow this erdaron... it's just been a while
[01:58] <Larry> that's it
[01:58] <kitche> cheeseboy: since when the kernel is updated you have to reinstall the nvidia drivers what's your video card
[01:58] <maximal> cheeseboy: i've got nvidia drivers installed for feisty.   The only problem I have found so far is that when switching between users the machine can hang
[01:58] <Pirate_Hunter> nerdboy1025: yeah it was the first thing that popped in my mind and for soem reaosn I just remebered the saying "there are no females on the internet", thats why i had to sya that
[01:59] <Erdaron> agn0stic: thanks. after this command, Feisty should re-write xorg.conf for the new card, correct?
[01:59] <thornomad> i wanted to create a simple script that would examine the file size of a directory ... but I want to be able to see if it is bigger or smaller than a certain size (if/else) ... I know I can use "du" to get the directory size, but is there a simple way to just get the integer so I can run a comparison in the script ?
[01:59] <cheeseboy> kitche, i installed after ypdated kernel
[01:59] <Pirate_Hunter> gonzoism: lol if u say so
[01:59] <nerdboy1025> lol
[01:59] <swami> hi, everyone...
[01:59] <agn0stic> Erdaron: I think so, I havent upgraded my vid card in forever though.
[01:59] <cheeseboy> updated*
[01:59] <nerdboy1025> anyone use OpenBravo
[02:00] <Erdaron> alright.... hopefully I won't have to reinstall again :)
[02:00] <persica> thornomad: try "du -s | awk '{print $1}'"
[02:00] <Ahadiel> Hello, how would one go about setting up an apt repository? (Personal use)
[02:00] <cheeseboy> kitche, failed to load NVIDIA kernel module
[02:00] <thornomad> persica: thanks ... let me try that
[02:00] <swami> i have an external hard disc...but i cant save anything to it.. it says no permission to write.. but i have no problem in savin in that when am on windows.. cud someone help me out, plz :)
[02:00] <Larry> erdaron
[02:00] <agn0stic> Erdaron: you definitely don't need to reinstall. There's other ways to do it if that doesn't work (it should, and the other methods are a bit ugly)
[02:00] <Larry> back up xorg.conf first
[02:00] <Larry> and if all else fails, go into recovery
[02:00] <Larry> and copy it back
[02:00] <Erdaron> Larry: already done
[02:01] <cheeseboy> someone help me fix nvidia drivers?
[02:01] <Larry> i had to do that at least 20 times before i got it right
[02:01] <kitche> cheeseboy: that just means either the module is not for your kernel or it's loading wrong
[02:01] <thornomad> persica: awesome! That is great ... what does "print $1" mean ?
[02:01] <cheeseboy> kitche, so what i do about it?
[02:01] <agn0stic> Larry: reminds me of my first experience with linux - Debian stable, and took forever to get X running.
[02:01] <larson9999> lots of ways to install nvidia these days. automatix2, restricted drivers helper deal, and the old fashioned ways.  what a wonderful world.
[02:01] <persica> thornomad: BIGSIZE=100000; if [ `du -s | awk '{print $1}'` -gt $BIGSIZE ] ; then echo "It's big."; fi
[02:02] <Erdaron> Larry: yeah, my first attempt ended up pretty ugly. But I think that's because xorg.conf kept looking for the old card
[02:02] <aburns> how do we have a return label for a misship accept more than one item?
[02:02] <swami> how do i enable write permission on tht :-s
[02:02] <persica> thornomad: the print is an awk statement.  Awk is a scripting language/interpreter that's very simple and designed for parsing columnated output.
[02:02] <brilarks> Swami I think I had the same problem. Try this link for instructions on setting up a nfts-3g drive.
[02:02] <brilarks> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[02:03] <swami> brilarks: thank u.. lemme see that :)
[02:03] <thornomad> persica: thanks for that.  that is excellent
[02:03] <Wips> A question about gFTP: How do I not enter passive mode when connecting to a server? It just doest it automatically
[02:03] <level1> hi, fglrx gets disabled every time I boot, but "modprobe fglrx" (even when not in root) works just fine
[02:03] <larson9999> Wips, there's a setting in the gui
[02:03] <persica> thornomad: No problem.  It's amazing what you can do once you learn the tools in linux.  Take a while to try to understand the awk manpage.  It's useful for all sorts of things.
[02:04] <fisherpri> it's official. i hate microsoft and HP equally.  i didnt hate either until about 2 weeks ago but now, it's done. they're both cut.  miserable companies.
[02:04] <thornomad> persica: will do.  i have played with sed and grep ... but awk looks awesome
[02:04] <Wips> larson9999: I think I found it.. Passive transfers, is that the same?
[02:04] <level1> fisherpri: why hp, in particular?
[02:04] <larson9999> yeah
[02:04] <cheeseboy> someone help me fix nvidia drivers?
[02:04] <Wips> larson9999: k, thx
[02:05] <fisherpri> because they decided to refuse XP drivers for brand new equipment
[02:05] <fisherpri> they decided to phase out XP
[02:05] <fisherpri> thats ridiculous
[02:05] <fisherpri> so my brand new $1900 gorgeous thin machine is useless
[02:05] <fisherpri> hence why i'm downloading the alternate cd
[02:06] <fisherpri> ubuntu was the plan from the start, but i'm a consultant, i need a working xp machine on me 24/7
[02:06] <larson9999> fisherpri, don't throw it away. i'll take that worthless pos
[02:06] <Larry> sorry to ask again, but anyone have any ideas on how to make suspend work on a toshiba laptop.  The screen goes black, but not off... speakers hum.  fan stays on.  doesn't go low-power.  any help?
[02:06] <maximal> cheeseboy: how did u install the drivers?
[02:06] <GasBrander> hi all
[02:06] <Larry> I've read that fgrlx gives issues... but i'm not using that
[02:06] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: advice dual boot thats the way to the future
[02:06] <fisherpri> yeh bro i tried that
[02:06] <larson9999> Larry, good luck with suspend.  imho, it's iffy at best.
[02:06] <GasBrander> how can i set a map so not only root can access it ?
[02:06] <fisherpri> a) no drivers for XP so no hardware works, and b) it won't load ubuntu's live CD
[02:07] <cheeseboy> maximal, apt-get
[02:07] <yeager_> anyone knows how to get the coders in /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.2.4/modules-Q16/coders/? imagemagick dosent install them.
[02:07] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: you tried but I guess it didnt go smoothly... am i right?
[02:07] <maximal> cheeseboy: apt-get nvidia-glx ?
[02:07] <fisherpri> i swear to god if i have to install vista onto it to get it to work, i'm shooting someone
[02:07] <DavidCraft> while partitioning my hard drive on my laptop, I got the following error message: "BOOTBCD.LOG is 9 k, but has 33 clusters(132k)."  what does this mean?
[02:07] <fisherpri> i partitioned the HD for like 10 different OSs.. it just wont load the live CD
[02:07] <cheeseboy> maximal, yes
[02:07] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: lol what comp you got
[02:07] <GasBrander> how can i set a map so not only root can access it ?
[02:07] <fisherpri> it goes nuts at the end of the post
[02:07] <Erdaron> also, while I'm waiting for reboots... my feisty is taking forever to load, longer than an XP machine. Where would I start looking for problems?
[02:07] <GasBrander> :p
[02:07] <maximal> cheeseboy: what errors do u get?
[02:07] <fisherpri> HP Pavilion tx 1000
[02:08] <fisherpri> amd turon 64 x2. 2gb, 5 lbs.. it's dope
[02:08] <persica> DavidCraft: I think that means you have a filesystem corruption.  The file size and the space on disk are inconsistent.  Try checking your file system.
[02:08] <brilarks> cheeseboy: did you try using automatix it worked like really easy for me.
[02:08] <fisherpri> touchscreen and the whole 9.. but it doesnt do SQUAT WITHOUT AN OS
[02:08] <GasBrander> some one who want to help me?
[02:08] <larson9999> dual booting? that's so 90's.  all or nothing is what all the cool kids are doing.
[02:08] <fisherpri> well my goal is ubuntu hosting VM
[02:08] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: have no clue about hp if they are like macs youl'll haveprobs installing ubunut but im sure hp is compatible with ubuntu - their latest pcs come with it
[02:08] <fisherpri> will a VM use the host machine's hardware?
[02:08] <persica> Erdaron: do you have timestamps on your dmesg?
[02:09] <fisherpri> like a thumbreader or bluetooth stack
[02:09] <GasBrander> can some one help mee?
[02:09] <agn0stic> GasBrander: what do you mean, a map? is this a specific file
[02:09] <GasBrander> no
[02:09] <cheeseboy> maximal, Failed to load module wfb FATAL error runing install command for nvidia  failed to load nvidia kernel module
[02:09] <GasBrander> a map
[02:09] <DavidCraft> there is no file system!
[02:09] <cheeseboy> brilarks, whats that?
[02:09] <DavidCraft> im partitioning it1
[02:09] <fisherpri> are you serious? i wasnt able to buy a system with anything but vista on it
[02:09] <GasBrander> only root can access that map but i want that all my users can access that map
[02:09] <brilarks> It's this cool software that loads all the things that aren't automatically included.
[02:09] <persica> DavidCraft: oh, hrm.  What filesystem?
[02:10] <agn0stic> GasBrander: what is the map made by?
[02:10] <fisherpri> brilarks: checkout easyubuntu also
[02:10] <GasBrander> how do you mean?
[02:10] <fisherpri> its just like automatix but more media focused
[02:10] <fisherpri> codecs and what not
[02:10] <swami> brilarks: now another problem....
[02:10] <agn0stic> GasBrander: I don't know what you mean by map, and can't really tell you how to fix it unless I know. There's a few possibilities
[02:11] <maximal> cheeseboy: that appears in dmesg?  have u tried sudo modprobe nvidia from the command line?
[02:11] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: youre just ahving one of those days if youre machine is 64 bit you should getting 64 bit ubuntu but ive heard thats messy but that it will be more compatible with 64 bit hardware especially if youre saying the the comp is meant for vista
[02:11] <cheeseboy> maximal, yes
[02:11] <swami> brilarks: i wanted to use that external hardisc for my bittorrent client(azureus) to save the downloaded files...
[02:11] <brilarks> Swami: I forgot The rest of the instructions on how to install give's version of pmount are in reply #816 on page 82
[02:11] <fisherpri> yeh i'm loading the 64bit alternate cd in a few minutes
[02:11] <cheeseboy> maximal, it occours when i try to startx
[02:11] <fisherpri> i'll give you guys the play by play lol
[02:11] <swami> but, as we are not the root... its not possible :-s
[02:11] <GasBrander> euhm agn0stic Can it be a dir?
[02:11] <DavidCraft> there is a recovery patition on my laptop, it is a 5 gig FAT32 partition.  When I clicked cancel on the error msg I got another msg saying the problem was with this partition.  I shoudl just ignore this as I dont want to mess with that partition at all anyways correct?
[02:12] <fisherpri> ubuntu will recognize pre-made partitions right?  i paritioned the hell out of the drive with the windows paritioner when i installed xp
[02:12] <GasBrander> agn0stic its /media/disk/htdocs
[02:12] <agn0stic> GasBrander: sure. If you need everyone to be able to read and write to it, chmod a+rw /media/disk/htdocs
[02:12] <GasBrander> tnx
[02:12] <maximal> cheeseboy: oh ok - so if you type lsmod | grep nvidia u can see the kernel module loaded?
[02:12] <larson9999> fisherpri, i put fiesty on my wife's hp.  bought it new in jan.
[02:12] <fisherpri> touchscreen?
[02:13] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: why didnt you use gparted or something similar they are good and less messy than windows partitioner also they allow EXT3 as well as some other useful options
[02:13] <fisherpri> i know it has something to do with the video bc the screen goes bonkers
[02:13] <cheeseboy> maximal,no
[02:13] <brilarks> swami: Umm, not the root. Bummer
[02:13] <swami> brilarks: what?
[02:13] <swami> bummer? *confused*
[02:13] <persica> DavidCraft: if it's a recovery partition it is probably a bit weird.  Some vendors intentionally put errors in those file systems so they won't show up in windows.  It usually just contains a backup windows installation.
[02:13] <fisherpri> i don't mind partitioning it again
[02:13] <brilarks> It just means 'unlucky'
[02:14] <brilarks> I've run out of suggestions I'm afraid.
[02:14] <fisherpri> so whens the next major relase date?
[02:14] <maximal> cheeseboy: i've got nvidia as the first entry in my /etc/modules
[02:14] <brilarks> You'll have to try someone else
[02:14] <gonzoism> DavidCraft sure
[02:14] <gonzoism> DavidCraft i would.
[02:14] <lexus_nexis> hi guys
[02:14] <maximal> cheeseboy: have you got it in /etc/modules?
[02:14] <lexus_nexis> and girls if there's any
[02:15] <Erdaron> how do I reboot from prompt?
[02:15] <lexus_nexis> I need abit of help
[02:15] <fisherpri> shutdown -r -t now
[02:15] <Erdaron> fisherpri: thanks
[02:15] <swami> brilarks: okie.. i will do a sacrifice...
[02:15] <lexus_nexis> does anyone know of a way to control the sound levels withing xfce
[02:15] <atrus> any suggestions on how to get gnome to connect to open wireless access points? it connects to my wpa one fine, but fails on unencrypted access points.
[02:15] <swami> i will format that 300GB, and how will i make it usable for lunix?
[02:15] <lexus_nexis> within
[02:16] <fisherpri> eradon, u can also change now to a numeric value for a time-delayed reboot
[02:16] <cheeseboy> maximal, how i check?
[02:16] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: if your planning to dual boot best advice if you cna get hold of it is get XP 64bit and than install ubuntu 64 otherwise it is harder to dual boot from ubuntu as windows is gay - PS: make sure you actually have a 64 bit SP as most retailelrs just sell the 32bit
[02:16] <maximal> cheeseboy: open a terminal then:   cat /etc/modules
[02:16] <agn0stic> lexus_nexus, don't know about xfce specific, but theres a command line tool called alsactl (and alsamixer) you can use from a terminal
[02:16] <Erdaron> fisherpri: it keeps returning "time expected"
[02:16] <lexus_nexis> thanks I try that
[02:16] <agn0stic> lexus_nexus: alsamixer is probably what you want
[02:17] <cheeseboy> maximal all thats there is lp
[02:17] <fisherpri> erdaron, im sorry i have the syntax wrong.. type info shutdown
[02:17] <fisherpri> it'll give u a syntax at the bottom
[02:17] <thespy> Is it possible to upgrade from Ubuntu 6.06 to 7.04 using a CD?
[02:17] <fisherpri> along with a hint for immediate reboot
[02:17] <Erdaron> meh, ctrl-alt-del did it :)
[02:17] <lexus_nexis> thanks agn0stic that's exactlyu what I needed
[02:17] <fisherpri> lol touche
[02:17] <fisherpri> but its a handy command to know
[02:17] <maximal> cheeseboy: i added nvidia before lp
[02:17] <lexus_nexis> peace out to all the tuxers
[02:17] <peanutb> thespy, no. you need to first upgrade to edgy, then to fiesty
[02:17] <lexus_nexis> ohh
[02:17] <lexus_nexis> one sec
[02:17] <iphv37> where do i go to see how memory ram is my computer recognizing?
[02:18] <lexus_nexis> does anyone know of the average price of an xbox
[02:18] <iphv37> *many
[02:18] <fisherpri> i've been running a 64 bit machine since dec 2004 so im used to it by now
[02:18] <maximal> cheeseboy: this causes it to load early - i think it can avoid conflicts
[02:18] <izhirahider> Does anyone know a feisty repository for GIMP 2.3 (development branch) ?
[02:18] <tritium> iphv37: cat /proc/meminfo
[02:18] <fisherpri> i lived thru the beta xp 64 bit
[02:18] <fisherpri> hell
[02:18] <lexus_nexis> im planing on getting one and loading *nix onit
[02:18] <thespy> peanutb: so could i upgrade using a cd to edgy, the with a cd to fiesty?
[02:18] <cheeseboy> maximal how i add it?
[02:18] <unagi> i need help......i still dont understand how to install programs on ubuntu
[02:18] <fisherpri> i cant decide if tablet edition or 64bit would be better tho
[02:19] <lexus_nexis> unagi what the problem?
[02:19] <fisherpri> wish there was an 64bit tablet haha thatd be the perfect answer
[02:19] <thespy> peanutb: coz my internet is too slow to download updates / new versions
[02:19] <swami> my monitor used to support resolution "1280x1024" in 32 bit ... in windows... but in ubuntu its only showing 1024x768, 24 bit... :(
[02:19] <unagi> i converted an iso with .rpm to .deb
[02:19] <maximal> cheeseboy: gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[02:19] <unagi> now i have all sorts of folders
[02:19] <swami> i edited the xorg.conf and added what i needed
[02:19] <unagi> but being from a windows background i dont know what to do without an install.exe
[02:19] <swami> then , i can see the option to enable it, but, once i enable it, it crashes
[02:19] <fisherpri> is anybody running both KDE and GNOME on the same install?
[02:19] <swami> :-s
[02:19] <iphv37> tritium, thanks!!
[02:19] <peanutb> thespy, yes as long as they are alternate cds
[02:19] <unagi> i have 2 folders debian and usr
[02:20] <Pirate_Hunter> swami: live with it at the moment I am until i can figure out how to improve it
[02:20] <peanutb> fisherpri, yep
[02:20] <Erdaron> alright, moment of truth... come on graphics!
[02:20] <persica> fisherpri: I have gnome, kde, xfce, and fluxbox installed on this system.
[02:20] <Larry> fisher.  i was on my desktop before
[02:20] <fisherpri> wow!  gangsta
[02:20] <swami> Pirate_Hunter: ohhh... :(
[02:20] <Trista> i have a question. i recently uninstalled windows because it crashed. but now my GRUB is messed up and cant boot up linux. i have kubuntu. i understand there is a way too do it using a live cd which i have. iam really new to this. could someone help me please.
[02:20] <fisherpri> u don't get conflict issues?
[02:20] <gonzoism> swami no you didn't.
[02:20] <lexus_nexis> unagi it so much of a hassle to change binary formats just get the right installer
[02:20] <peanutb> fisherpri,  you choose which you want at bootup
[02:20] <peanutb> fisherpri,  sorry at login
[02:20] <unagi> thats a little easier said than done
[02:20] <fisherpri> wow even nicer
[02:20] <lexus_nexis> with debs you can use gdebi install if you use ubuntu
[02:20] <swami> gonzoism: i dint? i dint understand what u meant :(
[02:20] <persica> Trista: you'll want to boot off the CD and get to a prompt, then follow the instructions for reinstalling grub at ubuntuguide.org
[02:21] <Erdaron> weee! it boots! thanks for the pointers, gents :)
[02:21] <agn0stic> unagi: to install a deb, dpkg -i debfile.deb - it's normally better to do apt-cache search "what you're looking for" then apt-get install packagename
[02:21] <fisherpri> ooo my CD is done
[02:21] <fisherpri> time to make another coaster brb
[02:21] <Larry> swami - i just made the res i want the only one in xorg
[02:21] <lexus_nexis> lol
[02:21] <Pirate_Hunter> well im out time for bed yeah swami in my case i have sis so boy they seem not to be very dependant in ubuntu but you never know in  your case
[02:21] <cheeseboy> maximal, thatd didnt change anything
[02:21] <Trista> prompt? meaning console right
[02:21] <swami> :(
[02:21] <persica> Trista: yeah.
[02:21] <unagi> do i have to run that from the directory its in?
[02:21] <maximal> cheeseboy: did u reboot after adding it?
[02:21] <hatter> what is the vncviewer for feisty ?
[02:21] <swami> Larry: but how? u just edited the config file? thats it?
[02:21] <lexus_nexis> bye all you linux lovers
[02:21] <persica> Trista: that's the most common way to get a prompt.
[02:21] <Trista> ok
[02:22] <cheeseboy> maximal, yes
[02:22] <Trista> alright
[02:22] <maximal> cheeseboy: try  lsmod | grep nvidia
[02:22] <thespy> so is there any way of keeping / backing up my settings and then restoring them once i've done a clean install of feisty?
[02:22] <cellofellow> What is OpenAL (I think it means Open Audio Layer) and why doesn't it work for some of my games?
[02:22] <Vyacheslav> hey
[02:22] <cheeseboy> maximal, still nothing
[02:23] <Vyacheslav> Would a Soundblaster 16 ISA card work with Ubuntu before I install?
[02:23] <unagi> well it said it installed it
[02:23] <persica> thespy: any of your user-specific settings should be in your home directory.  back that up, including all the hidden dot-files.
[02:23] <maximal> cheeseboy: try  dmesg | grep NV
[02:23] <unagi> but i cant seem to find a shortcut or anything
[02:23] <agn0stic> thespy: you could copy all the directories starting with a . in your home directory to a cd or something, that would save the settings for most progs
[02:24] <swami> Larry: this is how it looks now
[02:24] <Larry> swami - yeah, i just edited the config file.    PM me maybe i can help.  I'm know expert, but i got it working on my laptop

[02:24] <pha|con> cheeseboy: are you using the drivers from the repo for your card or the ones from nvidia.com?
[02:24] <persica> thespy: Also you might want to get your package list so you can just toss that into an apt-get install to get all your packages back.
[02:24] <persica> thespy: use something like dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ { print $2 }'
[02:25] <cheeseboy> maximal, nothing
[02:25] <swami> Larry: i sent a PM
[02:25] <unagi> ok
[02:25] <unagi> so heres the deal
[02:25] <cheeseboy> pha|con, repo
[02:25] <unagi> after installing it i now have a usr/aw/maya
[02:25] <unagi> how do i run it
[02:25] <maximal> cheeseboy: you should either have the driver loaded or have some error message
[02:25] <cheeseboy> maximal brb
[02:25] <maximal> cheeseboy: try just typing dmesg
[02:26] <unagi> no one knows?
[02:26] <swami> oops
[02:26] <swami> i have to register
[02:26] <pha|con> maximal: what trouble is he having exactly?
[02:26] <pha|con> cheeseboy, i mean
[02:26] <Trista> whats a superGRUB disk
[02:26] <Vyacheslav> Anyone ever run Ubuntu in a virtual machine?
[02:26] <Trista> do i need it
[02:26] <agn0stic> unagi: try typing maya in a terminal? or /usr/aw/maya assuming maya is the program you're trying to run
[02:27] <Larry> swami - I just cut out the ones i didn't want to use
[02:27] <unagi> yea i tried that
[02:27] <unagi> what is the actual file type im trying to run
[02:27] <maximal>  pha|con: He gets the error - Failed to load module wfb FATAL error runing install command for nvidia  failed to load nvidia kernel module
[02:27] <Vyacheslav> how is it unagi
[02:27] <swami> Larry: yeah
[02:27] <Malachi> If I wanted to patch something, how would I get the source? I think it might be in the repositories, a deb-src one.
[02:27] <unagi> how is what?
[02:27] <Vyacheslav> nevermind
[02:27] <swami> but, i donjt have the one i want... thats the problem
[02:27] <Vyacheslav> I thought you said that to my question, sorry.
[02:27] <swami> it has only till 1024*768
[02:27] <maximal> pha|con: when he starts X
[02:27] <swami> but i want 1280*1024
[02:28] <maximal> pha|con: he can't seem to get the nvidia driver loaded
[02:28] <datakid23> is apt-cache search the command to find out what's installed from the command line?
[02:28] <pha|con> maximal: have you had him sudo remove nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:28] <Vyacheslav> bye
[02:28] <ipx> datakid23: no, it will search in the repos that you got
[02:28] <ipx> datakid23: for example, "sudo apt-cache search blabla" will look for any program including "blabla". :)
[02:28] <datakid23> ah! could you enlighten me please? ipx
[02:28] <maximal> pha|con: no - he has just done an apt-get nvidia-glx
[02:29] <ipx> datakid23: well, i have no idea how to do what you want to do, though. :/
[02:29] <datakid23> is there a cli instruction for finding out what is installed?
[02:29] <datakid23> ipx, ah ok, thanks
[02:29] <fisherpri> here goes nothing
[02:30] <Larry> swami - try here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=129379&postcount=21
[02:30] <Larry> that's not up to date at all
[02:31] <Larry> i can probably find a better one
[02:31] <pha|con> maximal: how about glxinfo | grep string
[02:31] <swami> Larry: : :) lemme try that
[02:32] <maximal> pha|con: no - i'm no expert myself, I just happen to have installed quite a few versions of the driver recently
[02:32] <agn0stic> datakid23: dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall will give you a list of installed packages, if that helps
[02:33] <Larry> swami - I know i skipped out on the refresh rate part when i did it.  when i tried knoppix, i had to do that part though
[02:33] <cheeseboy> maximal back
[02:33] <maximal> pha|con: do u know what the wfb is?
[02:34] <pha|con> maximal: framebuffer
[02:34] <pha|con> cheeseboy: in command line type sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:35] <Larry> so.... anyone have any ideas on getting suspend working on a toshiba laptop?  it tries, but locks up before going low-power
[02:35] <pha|con> Larry: you have to compile a kernel to enable certain acpi features for toshiba laptops.  the only solution i found for mine
[02:36] <cheeseboy> pha|con, then what?
[02:36] <sotec_prod> Has anyone gotten their GTA San Andreas to run with wine?
[02:37] <Anarki[> bonjour
[02:37] <Larry> pha|con, can you point me in the direction or give some advice on that.  I'm fairly new.
[02:37] <Larry> i really appreciate the help pointer already
[02:37] <fr500> sotec_prod: why not ask in #wine
[02:37] <pha|con> !kernel | larry
[02:37] <ubotu> larry: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[02:37] <sotec_prod> fr500, i never get answers there.
[02:37] <sotec_prod> i'll give it a whirl again
[02:37] <pha|con> cheeseboy: in comand line type sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:38] <sotec_prod> oh, and i'm banned apparently.
[02:38] <Larry> thanks, i'll check it out
[02:38] <fisherpri> mmm text-based install in nice
[02:38] <tele> is there an open-source possiblility to communicate with skipe-people?
[02:38] <Tru7h> I have a quick question. I'm in the terminal trying to get to /media/MINI TD/, but when I type cd /media/MINI TD/ it says it can't find "mini". I've tried MINI_TD and MINI-TD, but it doesn't work. I've confirmed it's there using ls and it shows up in blue.
[02:38] <fisherpri> \
[02:38] <ShackJack> sotec_prod: You should prolly check out the dedicated wine channel...
[02:38] <pha|con> cheeseboy: after that type in glxinfo | grep string
[02:38] <pha|con> cheeseboy: let me know if that gives you any output
[02:38] <sotec_prod> #winehq has me banned for some reason...
[02:39] <cheeseboy> pha|con, Error unable to open display (null)
[02:40] <trend> hello
[02:41] <pha|con> cheeseboy: on which command?
[02:41] <cheeseboy> glxinfo | grep string
[02:41] <trend> are debian packages = ubuntu packages?
[02:41] <pha|con> what about sudo modprobe nvidia
[02:41] <pha|con> trend yes
[02:42] <trend> cool, thanks
[02:42] <tele> is there an open-source possiblility to communicate with skype-people?
[02:42] <pha|con> trend: more often than not, anyway
[02:42] <Larry> pha|con - after readin that, i think it's over my head.
[02:42] <pha|con> tele: skyp makes a client for linux
[02:42] <pha|con> *skype
[02:42] <gonzoism> isn't skype in automatix ?
[02:42] <pha|con> Larry: then you won't be able to get your laptop to sleep properly.  toshiba uses a weird system for their acpi
[02:43] <pha|con> gonzoism: it is, but you can get it directly from skype's website
[02:43] <cheeseboy> pha|con, FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[02:43] <pha|con> hmmm
 yes, but skype is closed source ...
[02:43] <pha|con> cheeseboy: is that all the output it gives you?
[02:44] <pianoboy3333> I need to install dansguardian but it requires clamav which breaks my system, so how can I force install dansguardian w/o clamav?
[02:44] <cheeseboy> pha|con, yes
[02:44] <pha|con> cheeseboy: type nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log and look for the first instance of [EE]  towards the end of the file and tell me what that says
[02:45] <pha|con> err, wait, nm
[02:45] <Tru7h> I'm in the terminal trying to get to /media/MINI TD/, but when I type cd /media/MINI TD/ it says it can't find "mini". I've tried MINI_TD and MINI-TD, but it doesn't work. I've confirmed it's there using ls and it shows up in blue.
[02:46] <pha|con> cheeseboy: have your graphics worked since you've installed ubuntu or did this problem suddenly pop up after it had been in use a while?
[02:46] <fisherpri> so i have my gnome desktop set up really nicely in a VM and want to copy it identically to my notebook.. i dont care about local files, just theme/settings/logon screen.. can you copy the /home and /etc foders?
[02:46] <fisherpri> directories"*
[02:47] <Larry> pha|con - thanks for the help.  I'm going to read into that severely before i attempt it.
[02:47] <cheeseboy> pha|con, Failed to load the nvidia kernel module
[02:47] <brk3> hi would someone like to recommend a good rss applet?
[02:47] <ShackJack> fisherpri: I think just the /home/.gnome* directories would do it...
[02:47] <cheeseboy> pha|con, they worked with vesa but on edgy nvidia drivers worked
[02:48] <pha|con> Larry: make sure to back up anything important and that you update your boot list and have the backup kernel there so you can boot from it if neccessary
[02:48] <fisherpri> ah nice thanks bro
[02:48] <pha|con> cheeseboy: you upgraded from edgy to feisty and the nvidia drivers stopped working?
[02:49] <cheeseboy> pha|con, yes but its fresh install
[02:49] <SirKeats> i need to run a .exe to update the bios on my machine. can i use wine to do this or am i going to run into problems?
[02:50] <fisherpri> thats a good question, im curious too
[02:50] <pha|con> cheeseboy: gimme a minute, i'm going to check something
[02:50] <cheeseboy> pha|con, ok
[02:51] <pianoboy3333> I need to install dansguardian but it requires clamav which breaks my system, so how can I force install dansguardian w/o clamav?
[02:51] <fisherpri> does ubuntu integrate updates into the isos as updates come out, or are those CDs the same image as the first release day?  the ones on the site i'm referring to
[02:52] <HomerOS> alguno en castellano?
[02:52] <Tm_T> !es | HomerOS
[02:52] <ubotu> HomerOS: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.

[02:52] <fisherpri> hablo un pop mas entiendo mucho
[02:52] <fisherpri> poco*
[02:53] <brk3> would someone be able to recommend the best rss client for ubuntu in their opinion?
[02:53] <fisherpri> i'm a google reader fan myself
[02:53] <brk3> hmm google reader
[02:53] <brk3> does it dock to the tray?
[02:53] <pha|con> cheeseboy: type rm -f /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed
[02:53] <fisherpri> no, it runs through a web browser
[02:54] <ShackJack> brk3: In Add/Remove prgrams there's Akregator, but it's KDE...
[02:54] <Grenade> how do I get a program to run on boot. i know it has to be added to the rc.d stuff but how do i add it ?
[02:54] <brk3> ShackJack: yes ive used it in the past but looking for more of a gnome equivalent
[02:54] <fisherpri> do KDE specific apps run on GNOME ever?
[02:54] <LjL-CRT> !boot > Grenade    (Grenade, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:54] <brk3> firedrops: of course!
[02:54] <fisherpri> hehe nick autocomplete's a bitch
[02:54] <pha|con> cheeseboy:  put sudo in front of that last command...sorry.   after that type sudo modprobe nvidia
[02:54] <ShackJack> brk3: How bout Liferea - I've heard good things...
[02:55] <brk3> Grenade: system->prefs->sessions just add it there
[02:55] <dooglus> fisherpri: no KDE specific apps run on GNOME, or they wouldn't be specific to KDE.  But most apps which use the Qt libraries work fine in GNOME.
[02:55] <maximal> pha|con: you think he had nvidia-glx-new installed?
[02:55] <fisherpri> i guess that was a bit of an odd question heh.. mutually exclusive
[02:56] <RoC_MasterMind> ReZound seems broken out of the box...it won't play any sound...it seems like it could be a sound server issue, but I don't see a Preferences/Options plce anywhere in the menus, and it was broken as soon as I installed it..I know it works, i've used it on KNOPPIX...does this error look familiar to anyone?  http://image.bayimg.com/ca/ce/ea/ab/c.jpg
[02:56] <fisherpri> my hp is at 63% of the 2nd install phase.. alternate cd seems to be working very well
[02:56] <gonzoism> yall stop making fun of me.
[02:56] <pha|con> maximal: it seems like he might have
[02:57] <cheeseboy> pha|con, same error from modprobe
[02:57] <brk3> gonzoism: im sure noones making fun of you
[02:57] <pha|con> okay
[02:57] <BrMiHi08> can I get a bit of help with xampp?
[02:57] <pha|con> cheeseboy: download the x86 linux driver from nvidia.com
[02:57] <brk3> ShackJack: liferea seems great :) thanks
[02:57] <pha|con> cheeseboy: let me know when it's done downloading
[02:57] <cheeseboy> pha|con, can i get wget link?
[02:58] <maximal> pha|con: is it worth him doing a sudo depmod -a ?
[02:58] <pha|con> hold on
[02:58] <fisherpri> google should release a linux distro
[02:58] <fisherpri> chockfulla google tools
[02:58] <gonzoism> brk3 they better not be....
[02:58] <pha|con> maximal: wouldn't hurt
[02:58] <MISTERTibbs> fisherpri, i suspect they plan to in the near future
[02:58] <pha|con> cheeseboy: type sudo depmod -a and then sudo modprobe nvidia
[02:58] <brk3> gonzoism: why what are you gonna do
[02:59] <gonzoism> i'll cry....
[02:59] <BrMiHi08> I need help with xampp in ubuntu.

[03:01] <brk3> Grenade: or just run gnome-session-properties
[03:01] <Grenade> i dont even have a system option
[03:01] <Grenade> ok
[03:01] <navets_> RoC_MasterMind: i did but nothing happens
[03:01] <Pelo> Grenade,  make a desktop launcher and move it to  /home/user/.config/autostart
[03:02] <Grenade> no idea how to do that
[03:02] <brk3> Grenade: my ways easier :)
[03:03] <Pelo> Grenade, right click on your desktop,   select make a new launcher ( or something similar if you are running kubuntu) ,  enter the program info you need ,  then drag it to  ...
[03:03] <Pelo> Grenade,  are you using ubuntu or kubuntu ?
[03:03] <brk3> Pelo: why not just let him try my way first
[03:03] <Grenade> brk3. so this way will get ntp to load on boot even though no one is logged in
[03:03] <Grenade> ubuntu
[03:03] <Pelo> brk3, he's free to do so
[03:03] <brk3> Grenade: no sorry then you need to add it to rc. whatever
[03:04] <fisherpri> if this notebook boots up and the hardware works, i'm officially cursing ms forever
[03:05] <analfabeta> hi, how can i add ubuntu in grub config ? i add manually, but dont boot.
[03:05] <Pelo> fisherpri, you might need to do a little tweaking but there isnT' any reason it shouldn'T work unless you hve some very weird hardware
[03:05] <cheeseboy> pha|con, now what?
[03:05] <Pelo> analfabeta, ubuntu should have installed it,s own version of grub when you installed it
[03:06] <Pelo> !grub | analfabeta
[03:06] <ubotu> analfabeta: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:06] <analfabeta> Pelo: i dont want ubuntu grub instalation, i want a other from other linux box.
[03:06] <testify> Can anyone tell me why there isn't a WPA option listed in my network-manager-gnome?
[03:06] <pha|con> cheeseboy: in the directory that has the file type chmod +x NVIDIA*.run
[03:06] <Pelo> analfabeta,  the info in those links should help , or try asking in #grub
[03:07] <Pelo> testify,  try the forum
[03:07] <BrMiHi08> Can anyone help me with xampp in ubuntu?
[03:07] <analfabeta> Pelo: ubuntu have some in root option, some with UID. what is?
[03:07] <pha|con> cheeseboy: then type cp NVIDIA-<version info>pkg1/usr/X11R6/lib/modules /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
[03:07] <dooglus> how can I erase a re-writable CD?
[03:07] <Pelo> testify,  you'Re not the first one to mention it
[03:07] <fisherpri> nope, no bizzare HD but HP feels its too high tech for XP so idk
[03:07] <cheeseboy> pha|con, ??
[03:07] <Pelo> analfabeta, uuid is an identifier for a partition  incase you change the hdd setup
[03:07] <testify> I've looked at wpasupplicant, but the articles on it are a bit old.
[03:08] <Pelo> !uuid | analfabeta
[03:08] <ubotu> analfabeta: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[03:08] <pha|con> cheeseboy: yes?
[03:08] <testify> thought it might be more automated for fiesty
[03:08] <cheeseboy> the whole file name?
[03:08] <Pelo> !hardware | fisherpri   try looking up your model in here
[03:08] <ubotu> fisherpri   try looking up your model in here: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:08] <pha|con> cheeseboy: <version-info> should be whatever version you downloaded
[03:08] <fisherpri> the moment of truth!!
[03:08] <Pelo> testify, it's getting better,  just not perfect yet
[03:08] <fisherpri> 1st b00t
[03:08] <pha|con> type ls before you run the command so you can copy it from the filename
[03:08] <Pelo> fisherpri,  best of luck
[03:08] <cheeseboy> pha|con, just hit tab?
[03:09] <fisherpri> ooo so far so good
[03:09] <pha|con> cheeseboy: whaver is easiest for you
[03:09] <maximal> cheeseboy: file name completion - very useful that tab!
[03:09] <pha|con> *whatever
[03:09] <fisherpri> it didnt freak out and do the video thing!
[03:09] <fisherpri> and it's actually loading
[03:09] <fisherpri> i <3 ubuntu
[03:09] <fisherpri> lets see if the drivers work tho.. (sorry for this, i'm being lame but i'm excited)
[03:10] <fisherpri> haha i've been for awhile
[03:10] <fisherpri> this machine just sealed the deal
[03:10] <pha|con> <monty burns> Excellent </monty burns>
[03:10] <Pelo> fisherpri, donT' worry about it,  it's a nice change from all the bitching about nvdia /ati driver and wifi problems
[03:10] <fisherpri> perhaps i spoke too soon.. it's just sitting at 50% full at the floodbar screen
[03:11] <cheeseboy> pha|con, no such file or directory
[03:11] <dooglus> how can I erase a re-writable CD?  I tried burning an iso to it, but it didn't work, so I want to try again, but I'm being told the CD isn't empty.
[03:11] <pha|con> cheeseboy: type ls
[03:11] <fisherpri> i'm sure i'll experience wifi problems too
[03:11] <pha|con> is the file there?
[03:11] <wingy_dingy> is there an easy way to remove dnscahce?
[03:11] <Pelo> dooglus,  try using  gnomebaker or k3b
[03:11] <dooglus> Pelo: I'm using ubuntu
[03:11] <cheeseboy> pha|con, yes
[03:11] <fisherpri> yeh it's not really going anywhere.. getting nurrvous
[03:12] <Pelo> dooglus,  gnomebaker then  you might have to install it   sudo apt-get install gnomebaker
[03:12] <pha|con> copy the name of the files exactly when you type the command in
[03:12] <Pelo> fisherpri,  deep breaths,  wait a while and then try the recovery mode
[03:12] <dooglus> Pelo: that's not supported, I don't think.
[03:12] <cheeseboy> pha|con,  /usr/X11R6/lib/modules doesnt exist
[03:12] <larson9999> fisherpri, happens to me sometimes.  sites and sits forever.  i reboot and boot to recover. after it boots i reboot into the one i want.
[03:13] <pianoboy3333> I need to install dansguardian but it requires clamav which breaks my system, so how can I force install dansguardian w/o clamav using apt?
[03:13] <Pelo> dooglus,  I just check there is an  erase cd-rw  command in tools
[03:13] <tonsofpcs> I am using nautilus ftp copying, its been stuck on a 2 KB file for 45 minutes now, and it won't cancel.  How should I properly kill it?
[03:13] <fisherpri> come on girl, boot
[03:13] <pha|con> cheeseboy: i'm at a loss then...
[03:13] <hatter> i want to change the default behaviour of where gnome opens windows in the center of the screen, does anyone know how to ?
[03:13] <Pelo> tonsofpcs, try the system monitor
[03:13] <ingo_> i am looking for a mail-notifier for thunderbird ... how can i do it?
[03:13] <mouseclone> hello everyone
[03:14] <larson9999> pha|con, he really need to install from the binary?
[03:14] <Pelo> hatter,  you can probably do that with devilspie  , check the forum for instructions,  devilspie is in the repos
[03:14] <mouseclone> anyone ran accross gdm[4468] : Couldn't open session for username before in the auth.log?
[03:14] <hatter> pelo, thx i will check it out
[03:14] <dooglus> Pelo: what is the erase cd-rw command?
[03:14] <pha|con> larson9999: i'm assuming he wants the 3d
[03:14] <pha|con> larson9999:  he says vesa works
[03:14] <Pelo> dooglus,  it's a command in gnomebaker , install gnomebaker
[03:15] <larson9999> pha|con, why not the packages, automatix, or the restricted modules dealie/
[03:15] <pha|con> larson9999: i don't even use the ubuntu binary, i use the one from nvidia.com
[03:15] <Pelo> mouseclone,  try searching for the error msg in the forum  www.ubuntuforums.com
[03:15] <bruenig> !automatix | larson9999
[03:15] <ubotu> larson9999: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[03:15] <dooglus> Pelo: isn't there a proper way to do it?  like with 'main' packages?
[03:15] <shadowhywind> hay all, having a werid problem, every cd i put in, it will play the first 6 seconds, freeze for a second, and then play the next 6 seconds and freeze again... any ideas?
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> If I copy my Ubuntu /home folder to my other computer running Ubuntu will that move all programs and settings
[03:15] <fisherpri> knoppix is bound to boot right?
[03:15] <mouseclone> Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.  I would not have came in here if i had not atleast googled it first.. thx though
[03:16] <Pelo> dooglus, man cdrecord
[03:16] <pha|con> larson9999: aside from automatix, the other two are one and the same....unless youre installing from nvidia's .run you have to have the restricted driver's package.  he has both.
[03:16] <ingo_> which imap-mail-notifier do you use??
[03:16] <pha|con> larson9999: er, not one and the same, but linked
[03:16] <Pelo> ingo_,  I like gnubiff
[03:16] <ingo_> pelo: i try it - thx!
[03:17] <MISTERTibbs>   Jack_Sparrow : no that won't work
[03:17] <fisherpri> hey pelo, if i need to boot into the recovery mode, is there a key i hit or do i need to reboot from the cd?
[03:17] <larson9999> bruenig, yeah so they say.  i bet you it breaks less than having newbies install outside the package manager manually.
[03:17] <pha|con> larson9999: something got really effed up somewhere, and he says it's a fresh install.  my only other advice would be to format and try again.
[03:17] <MISTERTibbs> !Automatix

[03:17] <bruenig> larson9999, I don't think so
[03:17] <dooglus> Pelo: heheh, nice one.  "man cdrecord" only mentions 'erase' once, and that is in a sentence which cannot be parsed :)
[03:17] <MISTERTibbs> !WorksForMe
[03:17] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[03:18] <Pelo> fisherpri, it should be available in the boot menu , you might need to hit esc to get it to slow down
[03:18] <larson9999> pha|con, just was curious why have a newb install outside the package manager... if there was a real reason.
[03:18] <bruenig> larson9999, you set up these "they" as if "they" is some sort of theorizing skeptics. The flaws are readily apparent.
[03:18] <Pelo> dooglus,  just install gnomebaker , make your life easy
[03:18] <pha|con> larson9999: because there isn't anything difficult about typing sudo apt-get install packagename
[03:18] <fisherpri> found it! thanks =]
[03:18] <pha|con> larson9999:  if they've managed to get ubuntu installed they can do that

[03:19] <dooglus> Pelo: I'm trying to use ubuntu main packages only, to find out what's missing
[03:19] <larson9999> pha|con, i was talking about having him run nv*run.
[03:19] <dooglus> Pelo: 'main' is supposed to be enough to carry out common tasks isn't it?
[03:20] <fisherpri> hmm i cant even get the recovery console to boot
[03:20] <fisherpri> does anyone know if the turon x2 64bit is supported in ubuntu 7.04?
[03:20] <Pelo> dooglus, erasing a cd-rw is not a common task for me , nor for most ppl I think , the point is to get all you need easily,  you can add gnomebaker easily ,
[03:20] <bruenig> dooglus, main is maintained specifically be devs, that is the distinction
[03:20] <pha|con> larson9999: because the repo binaries weren't working.  and i wasn't having him run it i was having him extract files from it
[03:20] <pha|con> speaking of which
[03:20] <Pelo> dooglus,  doesnT' mean everything had to be on the orignial cd

[03:21] <larson9999> bruenig, maybe but i have a group of about 12 non techie types i've introduced to ubuntu and most if not all used it to install  the nvidia drivers with no issues.  anyway was just curious.
[03:21] <Pelo> DigitalNinja,  this is it
[03:21] <fisherpri> you're in it
[03:21] <DigitalNinja> Oh
[03:21] <pha|con> cheeseboy: you still there?
[03:21] <bruenig> larson9999, well I certainly would install nvidia using package management, not automatix though
[03:21] <DigitalNinja> I thought there was one for tech support only

[03:22] <MISTERTibbs> !#ubuntu
[03:22] <cheeseboy> pha|con,  whats package i need to compile something?
[03:22] <ubotu> Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[03:23] <pha|con> did you executle the NVIDIA*.run -x command successfully?
[03:23] <bruenig> phixxor, dvdstyler is what I have used to do that before, you need to make sure all the video files are dvd complaint mpegs though
[03:23] <larson9999> bruenig, well, since feisty the restricted package manager seems to be working for the 2 or 3 newest folks.
[03:23] <SirKeats> my bios doesn't have any APM features and i'd like to suspend my computer after X period of time
[03:23] <SirKeats> ubuntu only offers me a sleep mode which shuts the box down entirely
[03:23] <SirKeats> any suggestions?
[03:23] <ShackJack> Hi - the video seems to crap out before I get to the login screen and pressing Ctrl-Alt-Esc doesn't bring me to the command line... Is there a way to load with alternate drivers or boot from live CD to install alternate driver on system?
[03:24] <fisherpri> hey pelo, i think i've concluded that it's definitely hardware support.. this machine wont boot any form of ubuntu
[03:24] <cheeseboy> whats package i need to compile something?
[03:24] <bruenig> larson9999, that is package management, same as add/remove synaptic, apt-get, auto codec, we have like seven front ends for apt-get, easier for newbs I guess is what they say, seems confusing though
[03:24] <jrib> !alternate > ShackJack (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:24] <Pelo> fisherpri,  you got throught the installation ok ? with the live cd  ?
[03:24] <pha|con> cheesboy:  you don't need to compile something....when you run NVIDIA*.run -x  does it make a directory ?
[03:24] <phixxor> bruenig - hmm, so if my videos are around 300 mb now (mpeg4 divx or something) and I want to make them dvd compliant, what size generally will they come too?

[03:25] <bruenig> phixxor, not certain, you can use a program such as devede to specifically decide how big they will be
[03:25] <ShackJack> CCan something be added to the command line on bootup?
[03:25] <pha|con> wtf with the bot help?
[03:25] <fisherpri> no thats what i'm trying to boot right now
[03:25] <jrib> ShackJack: ctrl-alt-f1 should get you to a tty, or use recovery mode
[03:25] <bruenig> it puts out complaint mpegs if you check that box
[03:25] <fisherpri> it's stuck on "loading hardware drivers..."

[03:25] <phixxor> bruenig, cool, I have used DeVeDe in the past, but I never know what options to choose
[03:25] <ShackJack> jrib: ctral alt f1 does nto do it - but recorvery mode uses alt video driver i wonder?
[03:25] <bruenig> ShackJack, /etc/rc.local
[03:26] <bruenig> phixxor, it is something that says just to make the mpeg
[03:26] <jrib> ShackJack: recovery mode will drop you into a root shell, no X
[03:26] <pha|con> yeah, but one after the other after the other?
[03:26] <xcd> hi guys, my swap partition has changed from what it originally was at installation, how can i mount the new swap?
[03:26] <phixxor> bruenig, but once devede kicks out the videos, I can use dvdstyler to make a default menu?
[03:26] <phixxor> and then burn
[03:26] <bruenig> phixxor, right
[03:26] <Pelo> fisherpri,  did you lookup your laptop model in the forum and in the hardware list ? there might be some instrucions in there
[03:26] <ShackJack> jrib: O.K. seems ctrl alt f1 should do the same but it's just blank screen...
[03:26] <ingo_> pelo: how can i dock gnubiff to the menu-bar & how can i configure the check-time??
[03:26] <ShackJack> bruenig: Thanx can you elaborate
[03:26] <phixxor> nice, ok, I hope it's in the repos
[03:26] <ShackJack> ?
[03:26] <jrib> ShackJack: try recovery mode option from the grub menu
[03:26] <fisherpri> i didn't actually.. any good place to start the search?
[03:26] <bruenig> ShackJack, add whatever command you want to be run in /etc/rc.local
[03:27] <bruenig> ShackJack, above the exit, note that it executes the thing as root so don't use sudo obviously
[03:27] <Pelo> ingo_,  after the install  you can add to pannel , and in the preference when you setup your account you can specify the interval,  in the detailed configureation
[03:27] <larson9999> bruenig, it's like alien and checkstall imo.  i've been using both forever on all sorts of machines.  yet, people are constantly telling me they are dangerous.
[03:27] <SirKeats> power management anyone? suspend mode for ubuntu?
[03:27] <maximal> cheeseboy: how is it going?
[03:27] <bruenig> larson9999, alien is extremely dangerous, check install is not at all
[03:27] <SirKeats> i'd love to be able to suspend my box.
[03:27] <c_lisp> whats a good torrent for gnome on ubuntu?
[03:27] <apache2> ...... IS there anyway to lock certain packages from being upgraded OTHER THAN using synaptics? I want to be able to block packages so I can still update my system on the command line
[03:28] <larson9999> bruenig, see?  :)
[03:28] <ShackJack> bruenig: mmm... not sure that's answering the question I asked, but I think recovery mode is the way to go..
[03:28] <Pelo> SirKeats, follow the link at the bottom of  the screensaver dialog , that's the best I can do for you, or check in the forum
[03:28] <jrib> c_lisp: gnome bittorrent?  it comes with ubuntu by default
[03:28] <tucci>  I'm having a dependency problem - I need lipxpcom.so and I can't find it anywhere. Any help?
[03:28] <jrib> tucci: why?  what are you trying to do?
[03:28] <bruenig> larson9999, checkinstall is just a script that basically runs make install DESTDIR=/some/fake/root/directory and then builds the deb conventionally
[03:28] <phixxor> c_lisp, you mean client? I'd go with bittornado, but It's your choice
[03:28] <bruenig> larson9999, there is no see? we are talking open source, you can see what it does

[03:30] <testify> Pelo, tried the fix out, but it looks like it only works for WPA running under DHCP. Any idea if there's any way to get WPA to work under static?
[03:30] <Chemical> is beryl better then compiz?

[03:30] <apache2> sweet bot
[03:31] <apache2> jrib: I'll check it out thanks
[03:31] <bruenig> Chemical, they have merged, better is subjective, beryl has more stuff and is more flashy but is said to be less table
[03:31] <mattycoze> Chemical I think beryls heaps better than compiz
[03:31] <madman91> my dads ubuntu installation seems to stop the boot process once it reaches the mounting stage.. it stops having only mounted the / .. it then gives the user a command prompt.. from which I can mount /home .. but it is odd that it is doing so.. any ideas?
[03:31] <Pelo> Chemical,  it's a mute point now they have merged
[03:31] <Frogzoo_> Chemical: beryl has more bling, and is less stable
[03:31] <Chemical> oh ok
[03:31] <Frogzoo_> Pelo: gutsy will still have separate compiz/beryl
[03:31] <nelsonuwp> hey, does anyone know why my sound stopped working like 10 minutes ago?

[03:33] <Pelo> Frogzoo_,  I don'T go for candy anyway

[03:33] <madman91> my dads ubuntu installation seems to stop the boot process once it reaches the mounting stage.. it stops having only mounted the / .. it then gives the user a command prompt.. from which I can mount /home ... and it mounts without error.. I removed the ubuntu 12347sfu2347sduy UUID thing and inserted the default /dev/sdxX ... should that cause problems?
[03:33] <Frogzoo_> Pelo: then stick with gnome :)
[03:33] <bruenig> gravemind, should, there is some other deb that needs to be installed to wxwidgets or something like that they have on their site along with it
