[03:05] <lee2> do i just kill the quiet splash at the end
[03:05] <hou5ton> nothlit:   access a shared network drive
[03:05] <miranda> yes

[03:06] <nothlit> hou5ton, congrats:)
[03:06] <lee2> would that boot ?
[03:06] <hou5ton> nothlit:   thanks for you help too
[03:06] <cwillu> lee2: if all you did was remove quiet and splash, it should

[03:06] <thespore> How can I get rid of a processes that doesn't go away with kill -9?
[03:06] <adeiss> Where are you from?
[03:06] <nothlit> hou5ton, just remember using suid means your computer is more vulnerable
[03:06] <miranda> philly
[03:06] <d1gital> lemao:  some ppl prefer console based
[03:07] <hou5ton> ok
[03:07] <miranda> you?
[03:07] <Pelo> miranda,  just use the  add/remove and it should be simple , for config go to the az channel
[03:07] <CyberMad> can you recommend telnet software? it's like putty, securecrt, netterm in windows.. i want better GUI than do telnet in terminal and there is setting option for change user interface colour, etc.
[03:07] <econobeing> i can't get "sudo make install" for ndiswrapper working
[03:07] <econobeing> i KNOW i'm missing something
[03:07] <nothlit> hou5ton, it basically lets regular users run a command with root permissions without any password authentication
[03:07] <lemao> d1gital: but do they use the same underlying apt-get infrastructure?
[03:07] <zoredache> why not butty CyberMad ?
[03:07] <zoredache> putty*

[03:08] <nothlit> !aptitude
[03:08] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[03:08] <carlo> econobeing, what chipset and driver are you using?
[03:08] <d1gital> econobeing:  ndiswrapper is available on apt-get

[03:08] <hou5ton> nothlit:   ok ... thanks for the word of caution
[03:08] <econobeing> apt-get install ndiswrapper?
[03:08] <miranda> i tried that but the application wasn't there
[03:08] <Hova> if any one is going to install beryl stay away from the ati drivers !
[03:08] <CyberMad> zoredache is there better than putty, afaik.. there is no setting option in putty to change the user interface colour (text, etc)
[03:08] <miranda> filadelfia USA
[03:08] <w3ccv> CyberMad, telnet is a teminal program, no need for a GUI, there isn't anything to do but type and read.
[03:09] <econobeing> E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper
[03:09] <nothlit> CyberMad, lol putty is a great piece of remote software
[03:09] <carlo> <agrees about putty
[03:09] <nothlit> CyberMad, inside linux, you would just run ssh inside your terminal program of choice
[03:09] <CyberMad> w3ccv yes i know.. :)
[03:09] <zoredache> CyberMad, you can set colors and such in putty, as well as most terminals...

[03:09] <econobeing> THATS THE ONE
[03:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about I am still getting the hang of the console based aptitude, which can be a bit confusing. - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:09] <econobeing> thank you jesus
[03:10] <cafuego> you're welcome
[03:10] <miranda> what's automatix?
[03:10] <LjL> Ubotu, tell miranda about automatix | miranda, see the private message from Ubotu
[03:10] <thespore> i don't think jesus had anything to do with it

[03:10] <CyberMad> thanks all :)
[03:10] <CyberMad> i will try putty in linux..
[03:10] <VividHazE> Hey everyone I just have a small problem.  I'm running on a laptop here, and my mousepad thingy that you use to move about on the screen works fine for moving, clicking and double clicking, but I can't do that thing where you say double click on a window header and move it about, or a scroll bar, is this normal, or is there a setting i can change?
[03:10] <miranda> okay thanks LJL
[03:10] <d1gital> apparently i am jesus.
[03:10] <d1gital> nice.
[03:11] <d1gital> shame on you
[03:11] <adeiss> a program that installs several media programs. see www.getautomatix.com
[03:11] <w3ccv> VividHazE, you should have some 'mouse buttons' near that "scratch and sniff" pad
[03:11] <sickOfWork> is there a similar program for linux like remote desktop for windows?
[03:11] <zoredache> sickOfWork: rdesktop
[03:11] <econobeing> oh wait, maybe that wasn't it
[03:12] <d1gital> sickofwork:  tightvnc.com
[03:12] <miranda> it is not very effective i heard adeiss
[03:12] <AdamKili> nothlit: ok looked at fs-driver.org. I guess that will work, but there's really no way to install ubuntu and windows to a fat32 partition?
[03:12] <VividHazE> w3ccv: yea I do but its always handier to master the mousepad so you only need the right-click button.  I take that to mean it isn't possible to get that to work.
[03:12] <VividHazE> Anyone else have any experience of doing what I want?
[03:12] <econobeing> last time i got it to work i apt-got a 35MB or so file, those utils were only 100k
[03:12] <nothlit> AdamKili, there may be, but it would be incredibly messy and most likely unsafe
[03:12] <nothlit> AdamKili, also, you can't use the regular install cd to do it
[03:12] <d1gital> econobeing: sry try   sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-modules-1.8
[03:12] <LjL> Ubotu, tell econobeing about wifi | econobeing, see the private message from Ubotu
[03:13] <nothlit> AdamKili, it requires unorthodox methods of installation
[03:13] <CyberMad> do i correct? step to install putty are: download the *.deb package at putty website, then install it.  Because i tried apt-get install putty   and doesn't work, or i'm wrong (repository problem?)?
[03:13] <VividHazE> ok thats my first question.  One last question for anyone to answer if they want, my speakers and soundcard works fine but when I put in my headphones into the headphone socket the PC Speakers stop but I can't hear anything on the headphones.  I looked in the volume settings but I can't find anything to turn it on.
[03:13] <VividHazE> Umm, thats all I wanted to know :S
[03:13] <LjL> unorthodox... to say the least :-D there used to be a Slackware version (years ago) that installed to a FAT partition, but i'm not sure that kind of hack is very widely available right now
[03:13] <miranda> brb
[03:14] <AdamKili> nothlit: ok i'll do the fs-driver.org thing. thanks for your help!
[03:14] <econobeing> E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper-modules-1.8
[03:14] <econobeing> D:
[03:14] <zoredache> CyberMad: putty is in universe.  You will need to enable that
[03:14] <econobeing> as soon as i figure out what i'm forgetting, i'm going to tattoo it on my face
[03:14] <d1gital> econobeing:  nvm im pretty sure thats the wrong one too, have you tried running ndiswrapper after installing?
[03:14] <econobeing> it gives me an error when i try to install it
[03:15] <econobeing> "sudo make" at least
[03:15] <carlo> so I made the mistake of removing libjavaplugin.so via the "rm" command... is there a way to undo this?
[03:15] <d1gital> but the ndiswrapper-utils package worked, correct?
[03:15] <sp0rk3d> I've recently updated to a dvd RW drive and now I can't boot from CD's. I've checked the BIOS and all is well there - it is the primary boot device - but it STILL DOESN'T WANT to boot from that device... WTF gives?
[03:15] <w3ccv> carlo, find a new copy
[03:15] <LjL> carlo: sudo apt-get --reinstall install sun-java5-bin
[03:16] <LjL> w3ccv: or just take advantage of APT ;)
[03:16] <Pelo> sp0rk3d,  check the jumpers on the device
[03:16] <CyberMad> oh.. zoredache that will be great, can you give me link to enable it.. i believe there is trigger for it in this channel.. so i can get information about it, actually i ever did this before.. but i totally forget :(
[03:16] <sp0rk3d> jumper is set to master
[03:16] <econobeing> uh, yeah
[03:16] <sp0rk3d> should it be cable?
[03:16] <econobeing> the utils worked
[03:16] <sp0rk3d> and it's not the slave device so thats auto ruled out =)
[03:16] <d1gital> econobeing:  just try running ndiswrapper -l  (thats an L) from the terminal and see if you get anything at all besides not founsd
[03:16] <kritical> I have an entry in my /etc/fstab which allows me to access a shared drive on my domain.. the problem I have is that my normal user can access the files however anything I create is owned by root.... here is my fstab entry
[03:16] <kritical> /wxc-main.wxc.local/operations /mnt/WxC/operations cifs rw,username=wxc\pengland,password=******,auto,users 0 0
[03:16] <Pelo> sp0rk3d,  could be, but try ripping out the jumber and leting is autodetect
[03:17] <zoredache> CyberMad: I don't have a link handy I would guess that if you ask ubotu about universe you would get what you need
[03:17] <econobeing> bash: ndiswrapper: command not found
[03:17] <d1gital> darrniiiiiitttt
[03:17] <econobeing> was i supposed to get the one in synaptic? because the last two times i got it working i used 1.31 from the website

[03:21] <bruenig> CyberMad, ok run the following then, sudo sed 's/# deb/deb/g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list, that will uncomment all of the commented repos, including universe
[03:21] <d1gital> thanks LjL. as you can see i'm not exactly a linux guu myself... but i'm learning

[03:23] <CyberMad> bruenig ok
[03:23] <bruenig> CyberMad, right so sudo apt-get update, should update it all and then get whatever you were wanting
[03:23] <LjL> econobeing: and dpkg -L ndiswrapper-common | grep ndiswrapper
[03:23] <lemao> is there a way of not categorizing the packages but show  them in a list?

[03:24] <lemao> thanks
[03:24] <d1gital> V:  complaining won't help.  although if you give us some details, we might
[03:24] <LjL> Cubed: no. the command "install" is totally unrelated. type "man install" to know what it does
[03:25] <CyberMad> ok, it's updating right now
[03:25] <kitche> Cubed: dpkg -i is probably what your thinking of
[03:25] <administrator__> hi
[03:25] <Cubed> LjL: ok, then i would have to use sudo dpkg?
[03:25] <V> thanks :) Fisrt time I installed ubuntu I had sound. Now it does not detect it
[03:25] <administrator__> how can i use su and not sudo -i?
[03:25] <econobeing> the dpkg did someting
[03:25] <V> Whats wrong?
[03:25] <nothlit> lemao, aptitude search string ?
[03:25] <econobeing> not sure what
[03:25] <administrator__> how can i use su and not sudo -i??
[03:25] <Cubed> LjL: thanx a lot, i'm finally getting it
[03:25] <LjL> administrator__: a better question is... why? :P
[03:26] <bruenig> !root | administrator__
[03:26] <ubotu> administrator__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:26] <LjL> Cubed: or gdebi
[03:26] <nothlit> administrator__, you shouldn't things with sudo -i are logged
[03:26] <LjL> !gdebi | cubed
[03:26] <ubotu> gdebi: Simple tool to install deb files. In component main, is optional. Version 0.1.6ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 31 kB, installed size 680 kB
[03:26] <nothlit> administrator__, and its exactly the same otherwise
[03:26] <administrator__> ok
[03:26] <nothlit> administrator__, you can make an alias in your .bashrc for su
[03:26] <administrator__> so sudo command is the best way to go?
[03:26] <CyberMad> bruenig how to get list of those trigger?
[03:26] <nothlit> yes
[03:26] <administrator__> nothlit, is that for me?
[03:26] <d1gital> V:  you mean your sound card is not detected at all, but you have installed ubuntu on this box before?
[03:26] <bruenig> CyberMad, I don't understand that last statement
[03:27] <LjL> administrator__: depends. "sudo -i" can be useful at times, but yeah, most of the times you want "sudo something". at any rate, if you miss "su -", i'm sure you won't find anything missing with "sudo -i"
[03:27] <V> Yes. There was sound before. But on the seconf instalation, no sound. It's ac97 compliant, realtek
[03:27] <Cubed> LjL: then i need to locate ndiswrapper-utils-1.8.deb or do i specify the folder
[03:27] <CyberMad> bruenig how do you know this trigger !root , etc.. do you just guessing or there is list for it
[03:27] <nothlit> administrator__, here echo alias su=\'sudo -i\' >> .bashrc
[03:27] <bruenig> !bot
[03:27] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[03:27] <administrator__> LjL, i have another user i created when i do sudo -i and enter the password for root nothing happens
[03:27] <CyberMad> i see.. thanks
[03:28] <d1gital> V: and this is the same version of ubuntu?
[03:28] <globe> hello.  How can I download something from apt and put it on cd for a friend that is trynig to get his internet working, ndiswrapper for example...
[03:28] <administrator__> nothlit, see my message to LjL
[03:28] <bruenig> CyberMad, also you see them a lot in here so you tend to pick them up
[03:28] <nothlit> administrator__, after that source .bashrc
[03:28] <LjL> Cubed: well, if you've downloaded it manually, it'll be on the desktop or somewhere in your home, no? you'll need to specify the path unless you're already there, yes.
[03:28] <V> Yes. 6.10
[03:28] <administrator__> nothlit, see my message to LjL
[03:28] <LjL> administrator__: why do you have a root password, to begin with?
[03:28] <V> I looked for alsa drivers and they are installed
[03:28] <LjL> administrator__: (secondarily, not all users are administrators, obviously. in order for an user to have sudo access, it must be made a member of the "admin" group)
[03:29] <LjL> Ubotu, tell administrator__ about adduser | administrator__, see the private message from Ubotu
[03:29] <bruenig> globe, sudo apt-get install -d package, that will just download the package and not install it. It should be stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[03:29] <administrator__> oh really
[03:29] <administrator__> ok thanks
[03:29] <Chewy954> can someone help me install swiftfox?
[03:29] <globe> bruenig: as a deb ?
[03:29] <bruenig> Chewy954, there is a deb at getswiftfox.com
[03:29] <V> But I have 6.06 on cd. The stable version. What do you suggest?
[03:29] <LjL> administrator__: of course. you wouldn't want *every* user on your machine to have sudo access, would you?! i mean, it might be just a home machine, but think if it were something bigger than that
[03:29] <kitche> V: 6.10 is stable
[03:29] <bruenig> globe, yeah there will be a deb in /var/cache/apt/archives, burn that as data
[03:29] <Chewy954> lol
[03:30] <w3ccv> !help > me
[03:30] <d1gital> V: well, i'm not the best with this sort of thing, and i'm sure someone else can make it work, but the only advice i have is that 6.06 is much more supported at the moment, so you might want to give it a try.  however, if it worked before, i'm sure there's a way to make it work again..... i just don't know what that is
[03:30] <globe> bruenig: thanks ;-)
[03:30] <Cubed> LjL: if it is on my desktop, no path name is needed? i thought no path name is needed if it was in the same folder as terminal (wherever that is) - and 1 other thing, what is the difference between sudo -i and dkpg -i?
[03:30] <carlo> so I did the --reinstall install jre... but it's still not showing up in firefox.. anyone have other suggestions?
[03:30] <administrator__> ok thanks guys
[03:30] <administrator__> i try again
[03:30] <Chewy954> bruenig: i use Blag, no1 is in #Blag, and in #Fedora(Blag is based on Fedora with better addons(kinda like ubuntu(apt-get))) no1 will answer me
[03:30] <bcstv> What would cause "failed to initiate dbus" erro
[03:30] <Chewy954> :|
[03:30] <Valmarko_> I understand. I'm going to install it again. Tanks anyway :)
[03:31] <Cubed> i'm such a noob
[03:31] <Cubed> i think i got this
[03:31] <LjL> Cubed: uh? "sudo" is a command to let you run things with administrator priviledges ("root"), using the "sudo <command>" syntax.  "sudo -i" is a way of saying that you don't just want to run *one* command as administrator, but you want to start a *shell* as administrator (when you're finished, you can use "exit")
[03:31] <bruenig> Chewy954, well the normal source is very easy to do. All you do is extract the tar.gz or whatever it is. Put the extracted directory in /opt or wherever you want it, and then run the swiftfox script in there to launch it
[03:31] <LjL> Cubed: "dpkg" on the other hand is the program that handles .deb files. the "-i" option is for "install"
[03:32] <lemao> why does apt-get/aptitude always looks first at the Server cd first?
[03:32] <Chewy954> ok thx bruenig
[03:32] <Chewy954> =D
[03:32] <Cubed> ok ok ok right right
[03:32] <kitche> lemao: because it's in your source.list
[03:32] <lemao> shoudl it get the package from the web specially when I dont have the cd in the cdrom?
[03:32] <Cubed> i don't know what i was thinking
[03:32] <LjL> Cubed: besides that -- as you correctly said, you can do without the path name only if you're in the right folder, in the terminal. the default folder is your home ("/home/your-username", can also be spelled "~"). the desktop folder is ~/Desktop
[03:32] <kitche> lemo: just comment out the cd part in your source.list then it won't ask for the cd
[03:32] <bruenig> lemao, if you want to remove the server cd from the sources.list, you can do so
[03:33] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Cubed about cli | Cubed, see the private message from Ubotu
[03:33] <Cubed> i don't want to compile my own package, so i should find a prebuilt one for my kernel, right?
[03:33] <d1gital> cubed: yep
[03:33] <LjL> Cubed: what are you looking for?
[03:33] <lemao> bruenig: by vi'ing into it? or is there a command to manage sources?
[03:33] <nothlit> LjL, no sudo -i is for a login as root, sudo -s is for root shell with user vars
[03:33] <bruenig> lemao, sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:34] <d1gital> lemao:  you can use synaptic's sources menu
[03:34] <Cubed> LjL: i'm lookin for ndiswrapper 1.8 that is prebuilt for edgy, kernel 2.6.17-10, correct?
[03:34] <LjL> nothlit: ... did i say anything different?

[03:34] <majortom> if i want an application to run at login should i add it to my .bashrc or is there a better way to do it?
[03:34] <LjL> Cubed: hm, i'm not sure you'll find that. i suppose you've read the WiFi howto?

[03:35] <bruenig> majortom, if you are on gnome, system>preferences>sessions, go to the startup commands tab
[03:35] <nothlit> LjL, you said sudo -i was for 'a *shell* as administrator"
[03:35] <d1gital> lemao:  i've never used that.  no synaptic then?
[03:35] <majortom> is that a not acceptable way to do that though?
[03:35] <Ferramentapenna> as
[03:35] <LjL> nothlit: well, you do end up in a root shell, don't you?
[03:35] <bruenig> d1gital, he is on server I believe, so no gui
[03:36] <d1gital> ooooooooh right. duh.
[03:36] <Cubed> LjL: for the most part, yeah. i know for ubuntu edgy, i need to find ndiswrapper-utils-1.8, take a look here- http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy/Hardware#How_to_install_Windows_Wireless_Drivers_.28Ndiswrapper.29
[03:36] <poisson> Hi everybody. anyone can teach me how to install mod forcedeath (http://www.hailfinger.org/carldani/linux/patches/forcedeth/) ?
[03:36] <lemao> d1gital: no synaptic. Either apt-get/cache or aptitude
[03:36] <Ferramentapenna> Anyone know anything about GBA flash carts or USB bridges?
[03:36] <LjL> !wifi | Cubed, try this one too
[03:36] <ubotu> Cubed, try this one too: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:36] <Cubed> !wifi
[03:36] <bruenig> lemao, did you get it fixed?
[03:36] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:36] <econobeing> sudo apt-get uninstall ndiswrapper-utils
[03:36] <econobeing> heh
[03:37] <d1gital> lemao:  sorry i dont know why i was thinking server would have a gui. anyways, no theres none that i know of
[03:37] <Cubed> lol, if i had the internet i wouldn't need to use apt-get!!!!!!
[03:37] <d1gital> lemao:  vi looks like the way to go
[03:37] <Cubed> not for this package
[03:38] <nothlit> LjL, yeah but its a login shell as admin, what you said would be the way to describe sudo -s...
[03:38] <Ferramentapenna> Can someone help me with flash carts for backing up GBA games?
[03:38] <lemao> bruenig & d1gital: ok. just dbl checking to see if there was a better way. Thanks!
[03:39] <LjL> nothlit: alright. keep in mind that the original question was about what difference there was between the commands "sudo -i" and "dpkg -i" ;-)
[03:39] <d1gital> Ferramentapenna:  shouldn't it just be recognized as a removable drive?
[03:39] <Ferramentapenna> Digital:  Sadly, it is not.  Other things, such as regular flash drives and cameras, work fine though.
[03:39] <sysdoc> With flash cards, LMAO!
[03:40] <Cubed> lol
[03:40] <econobeing> today is not my day
[03:40] <Pelo> Ferramentapenna,  did you try looking up the specific model in the forum ?
[03:40] <Ferramentapenna> Pelo:  I didn't see anything on the wiki or forums about it, but will check again to confirm.
[03:41] <sysdoc> lol, I read flash cards, and thought that was the funniest request for help I have seen in a good long while... Please excuse humor...lol
[03:41] <Cubed> LjL: --- after i install the deb package using dpkg -i, then i use sudo to install the wireless driver, correct?
[03:41] <Pelo> Ferramentapenna,  just put the make and model in the search field,  you'd be surprise,   try generic name or family of product as well
[03:41] <Ferramentapenna> Sysdoc:  No problem.  Ideally, I want all my games on a single GBA cartridge with flash memory.  Not quite the same as a flash card.
[03:42] <sysdoc> :)
[03:42] <LjL> Cubed: i've never really dealt with wireless. but for that matter, you need sudo for running dpkg as well - you can't install .deb files while you're not root
[03:42] <sysdoc> I hear ya
[03:42] <monQ> hi all
[03:43] <Ferramentapenna> Pelo:  Not seeing -anything- regarding flash carts, GBA flash, or EZF-Advance, which is the cart I use (And is going to get replaced because it's crap.  >.<)

[03:43] <monQ> i've just d/l ubuntu 6.10 desktop. I'm suprised the installation method completely change
[03:44] <monQ> is there anyway to do installation on cli?
[03:44] <Pelo> Ferramentapenna,  maybe you can try googling for linux divers or app for gba
[03:44] <Cubed> LjL: oops, i mean i need to run sudo dkpg -i (location of package) and then use sudo ndiswrapper (and specify my windows driver inf) - ndiswrapper is a program to install wireless windows drivers
[03:44] <monQ> i mean like debian way
[03:45] <Cubed> LjL: does that help you see what i'm trying to do
[03:45] <kitche> monQ: the alternate Cd has the debian installer on it
[03:45] <sysdoc> Ferramentapenna, I gotta tell ya if I hadn't read that incorrectly, I would have went and found ya the answer if I didn't know it, just because "show me with flash cards" has got to be one of the freshest phraseology's I have heard in a long time

He places the pen at the tip of your urethra (the shaft at the tip of the penis through which your urine and sperm leave your body) and he pushes it in, all the way. As it resists, he pushes harder, until it bleeds all over you. He continues to push the pen down until it punctures your bladder.  I didn't care if he rammed his whole fist up my ass; I wanted him so badly.  It was big, like the horse, as thick as a beer can.

[03:55] <stickman> thanks. i go try that now.
[03:55] <majortom> stickman: then just restart gnome or kde whichever you're using
[03:55] <stickman> brb.
[03:55] <majortom> yep
[03:57] <Zelda> well thanks people. I'll come back when I need some more help
[03:57] <Zelda> another question though
[03:57] <Zelda> ubuntu all installs the same for everyone right? Unless they download other software. Or are there different versions of Ubuntu?
[03:58] <LjL> Zelda: there are different versions and flavors.
[03:59] <Zelda> yes I appreciate it
[03:59] <Zelda> Im new to linux. I have alot of catching up on
[04:00] <Zelda> like whats the difference between KDE and Gnome
[04:00] <Zelda> is there a basic linux tutorial or information page somewhere?
[04:00] <LjL> Zelda: they're two quite different desktop environments, based on different GUI toolkits. it's like looking at two different operating systems, if you just go by the look and feel, mostly
[04:01] <Zelda> like a wikipedia on linux?
[04:01] <LjL> Zelda: start at http://help.ubuntu.com/community
[04:01] <LjL> Zelda: that's a wiki, yes
[04:01] <Zelda> where I could get answers to most my linux questions?
[04:01] <LjL> Zelda: probably here
[04:02] <Zelda> for ubuntu specific though right?
[04:02] <LjL> Zelda: yes, but we don't mind if you ask about things that work the same in all distributions
[04:02] <stickman> majortom, that did it.  i was able to do a startx on display 1.
[04:02] <LjL> Zelda: just don't ask "how to install RedHat" or things like that :)
[04:02] <majortom> stickman: woopie!
[04:02] <Zelda> of course not
[04:03] <majortom> stickman: i had similar problem that took me forever and i never forgot it, but that was when i was using 5.04
[04:03] <Zelda> just general questions about linux. Im starting to learn so I can switch over soon.
[04:04] <engla> Zelda: linuxquestions.org ? ;-)
[04:04] <LjL> Zelda: if they're not support questions, but more like "does linux...?" (not sure if i'm explaining myself), maybe #ubuntu-offtopic could be better
[04:05] <Zelda> well Im installing ubuntu so its going to be about ubuntu.
[04:05] <kitche> Zelda: the ubuntu book might be good for you
[04:05] <engla> !forums
[04:05] <ubotu> The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
[04:06] <Zelda> I can get that at like Barnes and Noble?
[04:06] <Pelo> Zelda,  these maybe intersting to you http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84 http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[04:06] <Zelda> ok Ill write that down.
[04:06] <LjL> Zelda: one of the first things you probably want to learn about is the packaging system. if you're used to Windows, Ubuntu has a different approach to installing software
[04:06] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Zelda about software | Zelda, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:07] <Zelda> yeah.
[04:07] <seamus7> hi... I'm setting up Edgy and wonder what's the difference between the two JavaRE's presented in the unofficial Edgy customization guide here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_J2SE_Runtime_Environment_.28JRE.29_with_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[04:07] <zac1> !.deb
[04:07] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)
[04:07] <Cubed> ok ok ok ok i'm almost rteady
[04:07] <zac1> !.rpm
[04:07] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:08] <stacey_> is it possible to upgrade to Edgy from breezy without much trouble?
[04:08] <mipstien> I am looking for a command that can run a program from terminal but release the terminal to allow for further use from it.
[04:08] <LjL> stacey_: not directly, you must go through dapper
[04:08] <LjL> Ubotu, tell stacey_ about upgrade | stacey_, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:08] <asgilder> I had to reinstall GRUB, because I reinstalled windows on my system. Now neither system will boot. HELP!
[04:08] <LjL> Ubotu, tell asgilder about grub | asgilder, see the private message from Ubotu

[04:09] <stacey_> LjL, thats annoying
[04:09] <Pelo> mipstien,  you can have multiple terminals open
[04:09] <majortom> LjL: is there a list of all the things that Ubotu can tell me when i "!"?
[04:09] <mipstien> but i would like to close my current terminal and just leave the program running.
[04:09] <nothlit> !ubotu

[04:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 4 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:10] <Pelo> mipstien,  you can try starting the program with alt-f2
[04:10] <mipstien> pelo, the program needs to be run from root, i had already tried alt + f2 and had no luck with it :(
[04:11] <zac1> 8-(
[04:11] <zac1> *(
[04:11] <zac1> 8:)
[04:11] <LjL> Ubotu, tell majortom about bot | majortom, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:11] <administrator_> hi
[04:11] <Pelo> mipstien,  alt-f2 :  gksu program-name, you will be asked for password
[04:11] <administrator_> how do i install vmware
[04:11] <administrator_> pls
[04:11] <LjL> !vmware-player
[04:11] <mipstien> pelo thank you
[04:11] <administrator_> with rpm
[04:11] <ubotu> vmware-player: Free virtual machine player from VMware. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.0.2-2 (edgy), package size 11602 kB, installed size 31336 kB (Only available for i386 amd64)
[04:12] <LjL> Ubotu, tell administrator_ about rpm | administrator_, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:12] <jrib> mipstien: maybe you can do 'gksudo program_command'.  Or to answer what you asked, use 'disown' on the job before closing your terminal
[04:12] <stickman> majortom, the installer is running now.  i should be set in a few minutes.  thanks for the help.  that would have taken me forever to fix.
[04:12] <mipstien> gksu works for what i need, thank you jrib
[04:13] <seamus7> This seems to stump a lot of people.... What's the difference between  sun-java5-jre  AND  jre-1_5_0_10?  They're both presented in the unofficial Edgy customization guide but an explanation as to their difference isn't given.
[04:13] <majortom> stickman: oh you're still on the live cd?  you may have to do it again when you boot from your hard disk...
[04:13] <LjL> seamus7: what guide would that be?
[04:13] <stickman> that's ok.  now that i know what the fix is, it's not an issue.
[04:13] <nothlit> seamus7, i think the  regular jre is blackdown
[04:14] <seamus7> LjL: this one... http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_J2SE_Runtime_Environment_.28JRE.29_with_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[04:14] <mipstien> jrib how does the 'disown' command work?
[04:14] <SilentDis> hello
[04:15] <rubix_> whats up...lookin up parts for a new PC i want to build
[04:15] <LjL> seamus7: that's the JRE archive that comes from the Sun site. it's not in .deb format (which is what Ubuntu uses), so instead Ubuntu provides the sun-java5-jre package
[04:16] <seamus7> nothlit: they're both from Sun and they're both JRE's .... aren't they the same thing? why does one say update 10 and the other does not? why does one have a firefox plugin but the one with update 10 does not? this is confusing. No one seems to know the difference.
[04:16] <LjL> seamus7: i suppose it might be more up-to-date than the package that is included in Ubuntu, but if you ask me, i'd install the latter anyway
[04:16] <SilentDis> problem:  installing Edgy, chose to manually edit partition table.  gparted appears to to start up, then runs dosfsck -a -v /dev/hdb2 in the background, and hangs, using most all the cpu time.  /dev/hdb2 is a 25gb Fat32 system.  The drive light doesn't appear to be flashing or anything.
[04:17] <seamus7> LjL: I installed the JRE update 10 but am wondering if that also created the plugin for Firefox and put it in the correct folder.
[04:17] <rubix_> SilentDis: try doing a full hdd wipe if you can
[04:17] <kitche> seamus7: the one from sun's site does include a plugin if you have all your configs setup right
[04:17] <LjL> seamus7: Ubuntu is a "distribution". this means that it packages software made by third parties. so, obviously, you'll be able to get the same software from *both* the third party and the Ubuntu repositories - but normally you'd just use the repositories, since that's what they exist for
[04:17] <SilentDis> rubix_: can't.  this is a functioning dapper system.  got all my backups on that partition :P
[04:17] <jrib> mipstien: do you know about 'jobs' and 'fg' and 'bg' and all that fun stuff?
[04:17] <rubix_> i had that problem when installing
[04:18] <max_> how do you format a floppy disk?
[04:18] <SilentDis> rubix_: was just looking to wipe /dev/hda2 (/ mount point) and setup edgy in there instead.
[04:18] <seamus7> LjL: so the ubuntu deb is an older version and in order to get update 10 I had to go to Sun's Java site?
[04:18] <rubix_> this is an old piii laptop though
[04:18] <rubix_> seamus7: yes
[04:18] <mipstien> jrib, i don't believe so
[04:18] <SilentDis> !floppy | max_
[04:18] <ubotu> max_: To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone
[04:18] <rubix_> seamus7: apt-get remove the jre and then install the one from sun's site, or try to find a newer repository with the package you need
[04:18] <stickman> does update 10 come with the browser plugin?
[04:18] <jrib> mipstien: alright, you know 'gedit &' puts gedit in the background, so run that now.  Afterwards, type 'jobs'
[04:19] <max_> thank you
[04:19] <stickman> i could have sworn that it did.
[04:19] <kritical> Does anyone know how to setup in /etc/fstab the permissions for when a file is created by the user? I'm mounting a network drive and the default permissions for newly created files appear to be read-only for users
[04:19] <LjL> seamus7: i assume that's the reason why ubuntuguide.org mentions it, yes
[04:19] <mipstien> jrib ah, that is perfect for what i need :)
[04:19] <Anarch> In aptitude in "i A   gcc-4.0", what does "A" mean?
[04:19] <SilentDis> hmm... gonna see what errors are kicking out from that drive.  bbiab if I can't figure this out myself, but at least I'll have more info :)
[04:20] <mipstien> jrib, i am tryin to run gproftp without the terminal, i just got a new PDA phone and wanted to have an FTP on my box so i could get any of my files any time i was away
[04:20] <LjL> seamus7: generally speaking, it's quite likely that packages that are in the Ubuntu repositories are older than the "latest" version. but, on the other hand, they were made explicitly for Ubuntu, so they are easy to install and should work well with the rest of the system - which is not guaranteed otherwise
[04:20] <jrib> mipstien: well now you can run 'disown %1' and close your terminal.  If gedit was actual job 2 you would use %2 of course
[04:20] <administrator_> how do i uninstall a deb package
[04:20] <jrib> !deb | administrator_
[04:20] <ubotu> administrator_: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)
[04:20] <LjL> administrator_: sudo apt-get remove <package>
[04:20] <seamus7> Oh ok now I understand.... I already uninstalled my jre and installed the update 10 version.. I just wanted to be clear that the ubuntu package was the older version I guess and the guide didn't quite make that clear .. at least to a relative newbie like me
[04:20] <kritical> administrator_, sudo apt-get remove pakage
[04:20] <jrib> oh he said "uninstall" :x
[04:21] <kitche> seamus7: the ubuntu packages is update 9
[04:21] <ThePub> after installing kubuntu-desktop under gnome I can no longer see directories I don't directly own, anyone happen to know what setting kubuntu changes?  (if I show hidden files things like /etc will appear, didn't used to be that way)
[04:21] <Anarch> In aptitude in "i A   gcc-4.0", what does "A" mean?
[04:21] <LjL> jrib: you're not excused. 4am here and i still got it right :P
[04:21] <stacey__> thats why BOTS are annoying
[04:22] <LjL> stacey__: ?
[04:22] <stacey__> Every other question, someone is using a bot to answer
[04:22] <LjL> and?
[04:22] <seamus7> kitche: I used Automatix2 for the first time ... I had previously avoided it... and it seemed to install JRE update 8 .... I had thought it would install update 10
[04:22] <stacey__> Its annoying to me ... very annnoying
[04:22] <kitche> seamus7: well automatix is a bad thing to use anyways :P
[04:22] <LjL> stacey__: your problem, i suppose
[04:22] <kitche> stacey__: just ingore ubotu then
[04:23] <stacey__> kitche, thats what I need to do
[04:23] <seamus7> kitche: I had heard that but thought I'd give it a try since its being actively developed
[04:23] <majortom> so... nobody uses synaptic?
[04:23] <OneSeventeen> I cannot ping google.com but I can ping their IP address, how to I get new DNS records?
[04:23] <ThePub> stacey__: who cares as long as there is an answer that is reasonable and on-the-point?
[04:23] <mipstien> jrib thank you soooo much for that help, that is awesome, got to learn a new command set today :)
[04:23] <hou5ton> seamus7:   I've tried automatix2 and so far have not had any trouble with it
[04:23] <ThePub> ok, better question.. what adds ".hidden" files everywhere? :)
[04:24] <jrib> mipstien: http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_78.html
[04:24] <LjL> !works for me | hou5ton
[04:24] <ubotu> hou5ton: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. 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.
[04:24] <seamus7> kitche: I generall use synaptic but i just installed edgy on my new laptop as a dual boot with winxp and was a bit tired so I opted for Automatix2
[04:24] <LjL> ThePub: file*s*? there is one file called "/.hidden" in the root, but...
[04:24] <mipstien> jrib, thank you, i couldn't find anything like that anywhere :(
[04:24] <ThePub> LjL: after installing kubuntu it seems I have a whole bunch of them everywhere
[04:24] <OneSeventeen> is there an ubuntu equivalent to dnsflush?
[04:24] <jrib> mipstien: np
[04:25] <hou5ton> LjL:   I understand what you say, and agree ... but just saying that maybe it is better than it might have been in the beginning?
[04:25] <LjL> ThePub: like where? i don't think that's right
[04:25] <seamus7> hou5ton: yeah it went well for me today ... but I still need to install Azureus from the Azureus site in order to fix some bugs in the Ubuntu repository version
[04:25] <stacey__> ThePub, I care, simply because they dont answer a persons question all the time.. and usually the person who sends the bot message doesnt know either, he just knows alot of links
[04:25] <LjL> hou5ton: not if i have to go by the painful automatix troubleshooting sessions i and others have had to deal recently
[04:25] <ThePub> LjL: there's one in /.hidden.. one in my media directory.. all over the place actually.  anywhere root owns the directory it seems there's a .hidden there with that directory name in it
[04:26] <Anarch> In aptitude in "i A   gcc-4.0", what does "A" mean?
[04:26] <ThePub> stacey__: yeah, like I said.  as long as it is on-the-point and answers the question.  if it doesn't, totally understandable that it coule be annoying :)
[04:27] <stacey__> ThePub, Personally, if I cant answer a persons question, Im not going to shove a bot answer in their face.  They are convinient for FAQ, but anything else... meh
[04:28] <ThePub> stacey__: you have to admit though, many times people don't first read those or do a cursery search on the wiki though.
[04:28] <SilentDis> found my problem.  a file was fscked up on the drive, and fsck was returning an error.  hosed the file, fsck reported clear, no more problem :)
[04:28] <LjL> !offtopic | ThePub, stacey__
[04:28] <ubotu> ThePub, stacey__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:28] <stacey__> ThePub, I agree with that
[04:29] <LjL> ThePub: i have one in /media too
[04:29] <stacey__> LjL, if you do that again, I will find you
[04:29] <LjL> stacey__: you will... find me?
[04:29] <ThePub> LjL: I'm happy for you.  What makes the links?
[04:29] <LjL> ThePub: i haven't the slightest idea
[04:30] <stacey__> LjL, just dont do that again, please.  Last time

[04:31] <LjL> ThePub: that's about the only one i have, though, besides the one in /
[04:31] <ThePub> LjL: they're an annoyance, and I wanted to find out what makes them so as to avoid this in the future :)
[04:32] <ThePub> LjL:  I'll find it eventually, but if someone knew it doesn't hurt to ask eh? ^^
[04:32] <LjL> ThePub: if that's of any comfort, i think that .hidden "feature" is being dropped in edgy
[04:32] <ThePub> LjL: I'm running edgy atm
[04:32] <LjL> err i mean feisty
[04:33] <ThePub> LjL: and it's something in kubuntu-desktop.. so I'm tracking through the dependencies atm.
[04:33] <Anarch> In aptitude in "i A   gcc-4.0", what does "A" mean?
[04:33] <mirk> czer323: you around?
[04:33] <kitche> Anarch: it's on the tip of my head but can't remember it
[04:34] <czer323> mirk, yep
[04:34] <lovloss> !pastebin
[04:34] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:34] <Anarch> kitche: Thanks for answering.  Do you know of any documentation of aptitude that's better than <https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/aptitude.html>?
[04:35] <kitche> Anarch: hang on trying to find the page
[04:35] <AngryElf> so, given that all the md5 sums checked out why would an Xubuntu CD boot and a Kubuntu and Ubuntu CD not? -- they both lock up at "adding live CD user"...
[04:35] <mirk> sec, czer
[04:36] <ThePub> maybe someone with the ati 8.31 driver, a big desktop and movie player can enlighten me on why video overlay doesn't cover both screens by default?  Videos on the second desktop "scroll away" when my mouse approach that desktop.
[04:36] <kitche> Anarch: I think man aptitude might tell you hat since I rememebr seeing it in there
[04:37] <lovloss> Alright guys, i set this up well so please help me out. I cant egt my computer to start gdm because it gives me errors for my nvidia card. I recently installed Beryl AIGLX, and then got the unofficial updates on their Wiki. Everything worked yesterday. Here's my xorg log : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35873/
[04:37] <globe> Would anyone want to help me with ndiswrapper and a belkin usb wifi adapter? I have the driver installed and ndis says that it is loaded and the hdware present, but no ethernet connection
[04:37] <thejapa> ThePub: I'm on debian, it happens too. it's a known bug afaik
[04:37] <seamus7> Which folder or folders ought the Flash9Beta2 Plugin go in? Putting it in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ doesn't seem to do the trick for Firefox.
[04:37] <lovloss> If anyone can see the problem i would be most grateful
[04:37] <crimsun> seamus7: that's because ff's plugin dir is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[04:38] <ThePub> thejapa: really?  where'd you read that?  I've just not been able to find any reasons.  The open source driver doesn't have the issue, which is just doubly annoying :)
[04:38] <crimsun> seamus7: (or ~/.mozilla/plugins/ )
[04:38] <SilentDis> seamus7:  i believe it can be placed in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/plugins... or something like that
[04:38] <SilentDis> seamus7:  or, yeah, for all users, crimson's info works
[04:38] <seamus7> Would it create any sort of problems to put it in all of these folder mentioned?
[04:38] <thejapa> ThePub: well, you've seen it, I've seen it, that's known enough for me.
[04:38] <Anarch> kitche: My `man aptitude` only shows the command-line interface.
[04:39] <ThePub> seamus7:  outside of your local install (best place) is /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/lib (something like that)
[04:39] <seamus7> ok thx
[04:39] <Anarch> kitche: And my `info aptitude` is just a copy of `man aptitude`.
[04:40] <thejapa> ThePub: I could have chosen better my words, of course, i just never found a solution too.
[04:40] <ThePub> thejapa: it's almost like the video overlay is on a seperate resolution or something because the scrolling is reminiscent of using a viewport.
[04:41] <thejapa> ThePub: it looks to me like it's using a fullscreen-size offscreenframe, when it is drawn on a x window, it simply scrolls automatically
[04:41] <jerp> clonebots are naughty
[04:41] <kitche> Anarch: I know I seen it someplace check aptitudes help system when you run it in interactive mode
[04:41] <thejapa> ThePub: very annoying
[04:41] <asgilder> \How do you find where your boot partition is?
[04:42] <jrib> Anarch: maybe /usr/share/doc/aptitude
[04:42] <asgilder> !/boot
[04:42] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[04:42] <lovloss> Nobody can help me? ;.;
[04:42] <ThePub> lovloss: don't have an nvidia card, but the ati setup went really smooth.. if that's any help ;)
[04:42] <SilentDis> lovloss:  missed the question... repeat please?
[04:43] <sandy16> how to know the dependencies of a particular package?
[04:43] <Anarch> jrib: /me browses that now
[04:43] <lovloss> I cant egt my computer to start gdm because it gives me errors for my nvidia card. I recently installed Beryl AIGLX, and then got the unofficial updates on their Wiki. Everything worked yesterday. Here's my xorg log : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35873/
[04:43] <jerp> I'd like to get that scroll with wallpaper like in suse during boot up
[04:43] <thejapa> ThePub: one solution i've not tried yet is by not using xinerama
[04:43] <lovloss> ThePub : >.<
[04:43] <ThePub> sandy16: what package tool are you using?  if you're using synaptic, right-click and choose properties then click on "dependencies"
[04:43] <SilentDis> lovloss:  checking out the pastebin now... just curious, have you checked in over in the glx help room as well?
[04:44] <SilentDis> !beryl | lovloss
[04:44] <ubotu> lovloss: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[04:44] <asgilder> Okay...!/boot didn't help.
[04:44] <minerale> so I'm looking at grub version 2 and it seems interesting, i'm thinking on installing it -- does anyone know if I'm about to fry my computer? I have moderate experience with grub
[04:44] <ThePub> thejapa: I have tried that, and it works beutifully w/o a big desktop (not xinerama, fglrx doesn't support that).  If you have multi-head and use two x servers there's no issues.
[04:44] <lovloss> SilentDis: I went to #beryl... and they just ignored me
[04:44] <sandy16> ThePub, can i expect any way using terminal?
[04:44] <SilentDis> lovloss:  #ubuntu-xgl is the room you're looking for ;)
[04:44] <thejapa> ThePub: oh, you're right, i'm using big desktop
[04:45] <lovloss> SilentDis: nobody is in tehre o.o
[04:45] <SilentDis> lovloss:  looks like something to do with font rendering problems...
[04:45] <lovloss> ah im in the chat now
[04:45] <khoa> when i do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, it's telling me 2 packages (libggi and mplayer) are being held back
[04:46] <khoa> is there a reason for that?
[04:46] <ThePub> sandy16: sure, "apt-cache depends <pkgname>"
[04:46] <SilentDis> lovloss:  looks like the last 3 lines are your 'key'.  x is having problem loading font path elements for some reason.
[04:46] <ThePub> sandy16: may want to read the man page for apt-cache, it's the apt search tool and information dispenser :)
[04:46] <jrib> Anarch: http://people.debian.org/~dburrows/aptitude-doc/en/ch02s02s02.html
[04:46] <lovloss> SilentDis: Hmm that does seem like the problem. Strange that *font* problems would cause it crash
[04:47] <kitche> lovloss: how are you trying to start beryl?
[04:47] <globe> Would anyone want to help me with ndiswrapper and a belkin usb wifi adapter? I have the driver installed and ndis says that it is loaded and the hdware present, but no ethernet connection
[04:47] <crparr> Hi! I'm trying to set up my wireless connection. I've got an IPW2200BG. I'd like to connect via WPA2 encryption. I tried this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296790) - no success. I installed networkmanager-kde - it does not even display my wlan card. What am I doing wrong?
[04:47] <lovloss> beryl-manager... but im on a live cd now, kitche.
[04:47] <yakumo> hello anyone know how to remove the media icon on my desktop im using dapper drake?
[04:47] <lovloss> it wont load up normally
[04:47] <pi1l> can I quickly and painlessly upgrade my 6.06 to 6.10 ?
[04:47] <SilentDis> lovloss:  eh, if it can't load ANY fonts...  i could see it.  i'm rather a newb when it comes to x in general though.  i spent most of my last 6 years of *nix experience at a terminal prompt rofl
[04:47] <jrib> !icons | yakumo
[04:47] <ubotu> yakumo: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[04:47] <jrib> !upgrade | pi1l
[04:47] <dyzlex> Ok, I have XP Pro x64 installed, and an empty 4gb partition I want to install 6.06 onto. How would I go about a dual boot and not kill my Windows Partition?
[04:47] <ubotu> pi1l: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:47] <lovloss> ^_^
[04:48] <sandy16> ThePub, i am trying to develop a my own CD so that it can be apt able, is that possible?
[04:48] <lovloss> dyzlex: it comes with Ubuntu's installation. You just set aside the patrition :)
[04:48] <yakumo> ill try thanks
[04:48] <SilentDis> dyzlex:  is your drive currently setup as [windows] [empty partition] ?
[04:48] <lovloss> dyzlex: When you get to the installation menu choose to manage partitions manually
[04:48] <ThePub> sandy16: sure, you can develop local repositories with apt.  that's a bit beyond me though.  idk if the ubuntu site has information on that, but I'm positive debian does.
[04:48] <drcode> hi all
[04:49] <pi1l> jrib, thank you
[04:49] <dyzlex> I think I formatted the partition to NTFS by mistake,
[04:49] <drcode> I try to call my linux from home to linux server
[04:49] <drcode> with modem
[04:49] <dyzlex> So will Ubuntu install onto NTFS?
[04:49] <drcode> I use pppd
[04:49] <pi1l> !upgrade
[04:49] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:49] <lovloss> dyzlex: no, but use "gnome part ed" from administrative tasks under "system"
[04:49] <pi1l> dyzlex no ofcourse!
[04:49] <dyzlex> But yes, its [Windows] [empty partition]
[04:49] <drcode> it start to connect but it dissconnect all the time in CONNECT exepted
[04:49] <kitche> ah ubuntu has dfs
[04:49] <drcode> I have also try wvdial
[04:49] <lovloss> dyzlex: delete the ntfs partition, change it to ext3 :)
[04:49] <pi1l> !k3b
[04:49] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[04:50] <dyzlex> lovloss: I tried that last time, and it killed off my Windows partition.
[04:50] <drcode> it connect ok but try to run ppp witch give command not found
[04:50] <SilentDis> dyzlex:  that's not a problem.  during the install, you can choose to format it (either ext2 or ext3 are recommended).  windows will be left intact.
[04:50] <drcode> any idea?
[04:50] <ThePub> dyzlex: ntfs isn't a safe partition type to use, but it won't *install* into it w/o alot of finesing.
[04:50] <Anarch> jrib: That looks like pretty good documentation, thanks.  I don't yet see docs of the chars following the state & action flags but am still looking.
[04:50] <lovloss> dyxlex: o.O
[04:50] <bun-bun> when installing windows programs via wine should it be done as superuser or not?
[04:50] <SilentDis> dyzlex:  when you're asked to pick a partition, choose manual.
[04:50] <jrib> Anarch: that's the same as /usr/share/doc/aptitude I believe
[04:50] <ThePub> dyzlex: parted can do wondeful resizing tricks though if you're worried about space.
[04:50] <sandy16> ThePub, Really, i never found some thing like that .. but if some thing like is there .. oh thats great .. could you please pass on the link for me?
[04:50] <jrib> Anarch: the page I linked to explains the "A" at the top
[04:51] <dyzlex> OK, ill try that. And after it installs, how would I access the windows partition?
[04:51] <SilentDis> bun-bun:  probably best as normal user, depending on the app.... and how many users you have on your pc, etc.
[04:51] <ThePub> sandy16: I really wouldn't know, been years since I've read about that sort of thing :)
[04:51] <n3rdism> good evening my fellow ubuntites
[04:51] <SilentDis> dyzlex:  grub will be installed for you, and you'll get to pick your os on boot.
[04:51] <dyzlex> ThePub: Thats what killed my partition last time.
[04:51] <SilentDis> dyzlex:  also, from inside ubuntu, you'll be able to 'see' the files on your NTFS partition (just not write to it... unless you install other tools)
[04:51] <bun-bun> SilentDis# i'm just not sure if needs to be able to write to the wine lib directories or not
[04:52] <Anarch> jrib: Right, I see it: "A" is "automatically installed".  Thanks!
[04:52] <jrib> Anarch: np
[04:52] <bun-bun> SilentDis# i'm the only user so that's not an issue
[04:52] <SilentDis> bun-bun:  i'd say try installing it as regular user, and see what happens.  if it borks, you'll at least get an error message of what's going wrong ;)
[04:53] <dyzlex> Ok, now it says I need a swap partition too. What do I do?
i only want to remove the mounted hard disk on my desktop, any ideas???? :)

[04:53] <m-hussein> i am your favourite muslim
[04:53] <Anarch> jrib: My /usr/share/doc/aptitude doesn't have this stuff (yet) because aptitude-doc wasn't installed ... but of course, before doing any installations, I wanted to grok aptitude.  So I was in a Catch-22; that's why your help was so important.  You can't RTFM if you don't /have/ TFM.

[04:54] <SilentDis> Thank you DBO
[04:54] <xar0s> why?
[04:54] <sandy16> ThePub, where will the apt-get update information will be stored?
[04:55] <bun-bun> SilentDis# and i haven't been successful in getting them to improve it..  i've used the linux port and it leaks memory quite badly.. and the source won't compile so i'm resorting to using wine
[04:55] <jerp> !umount | yakumo
[04:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umount - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:55] <SilentDis> bun-bun:  it's a yahoo mail checker?  is that all it does?  i'm almost certain I saw something like that in the package list...
[04:55] <dyzlex> So the swap has to be a seperate partition?
[04:56] <SilentDis> bun-bun: ahhhh
[04:56] <bun-bun> SilentDis# yes, i've looked at the others and none have the same functionality as this program
but it will remove my mouted volume.
[04:56] <bun-bun> SilentDis# it's a good program, i just wish the programmers were linux first and windows second, as opposed to vice versa
[04:56] <ThePub> sandy16: deb archives are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[04:56] <ThePub> sandy16: you should never have a reason to get in there on a dailly-user 'sane' machine
[04:57] <SilentDis> bun-bun:  from what you've told me of what it does, the absolute most it'll need is access to a 'tray' of sorts most likely... and i believe wine allows for that as user-installed apps.
[04:57] <sandy16> ThePub, i know that .. but what about the indexes that are fetched while apt-get updating
[04:58] <n3rdism> they seriously need to package kino and lmms in the next release..
[04:58] <SilentDis> bun-bun:  bit off-topic...  and I apologize... i assume that's bun-bun from the UF comic you've named yourself after?  lol
[04:58] <bun-bun> SilentDis# it's from Sluggy Freelance
[04:58] <kitche> !lmms|n3rdism
[04:58] <ubotu> lmms: Linux Multimedia Studio. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1-1.1 (edgy), package size 1543 kB, installed size 3784 kB

[04:58] <n3rdism> i mean preinstalled =)
[04:59] <SilentDis> bun-bun:  ahhhh sluggy, yes.  i haven't followed sluggy or UF in years rofl.  used to be a fangirl of megatokyo too rofl

[04:59] <eternal_p> good evening all...i'm pulling my hair out with WPA and Ubuntu, I'm not on WEP for now, but I'm trying to go simple and use network-manager-gnome, I have all packages installed, but when I do an sudo NetworkManager, nothing happens...? any thoughts? thanks!
[05:00] <bun-bun> SilentDis# ohh of course..  i used to love reading webcomics but lately i just haven't had the time to do it
[05:00] <jerp> yakumo, I might be in the same boat with you; I have a floppy drive I want to lose
[05:00] <xar0s> eternal, what kinda card you have?
[05:00] <bun-bun> SilentDis# i'm so far behind on sluggy i don't even know what's going on anymore :D
[05:00] <kitche> n3rdism: what is lmms used for sicne I think it has to do with making music and such
i see
[05:00] <SilentDis> bun-bun:  last OT from me... i haven't 'followed' any web comics since I got out of the tech support hells I was working in rofl
[05:01] <n3rdism> kitche: you know fruity loops studio?
[05:01] <SilentDis> !info lmms
[05:01] <ubotu> lmms: Linux Multimedia Studio. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1-1.1 (edgy), package size 1543 kB, installed size 3784 kB
[05:01] <n3rdism> it's basically the same thing, except free =D
[05:01] <Ahab> I am compiling software for the first time and have a question (I've read the wiki already).  I've downloaded the source and am ready to extract the contents, where should I do that, what directory?
but using 5.10 you can easly remove the desktop icon but here in dapper drake i don't have an idea.
[05:01] <jerp> yakumo, when I sue those panel gizmos in gnome, the mount drives gizmo says I have two floppies
[05:02] <jerp> use
[05:02] <n3rdism> ahab: usr/bin
[05:02] <eternal_p> :)
[05:02] <Ahab> thanks
[05:02] <globe> Would anyone want to help me with ndiswrapper?
[05:02] <xar0s> globe: yea whatcha need?
[05:02] <jerp> yakumo, have you tried to refresh the desktop?
[05:03] <yakumo> no..:)
[05:03] <n3rdism> woah, we have screencasts o.O ubuntuclips.org
[05:03] <SilentDis> ok, i'm slowing down my piddly dialup way too much during this install.  take care all, i'm out :)
[05:04] <globe> xar0s I cannot get it to register the ethernet device....the driver is loaded, but no wifi
[05:04] <jerp> yakumo, do you use gnome?
[05:04] <xar0s> globe: what card do you have
[05:04] <xar0s> and gnome or kde?
[05:04] <yakumo> yup
[05:04] <globe> its as belkin usb f5d7050 ver 3000
[05:05] <jerp> open a terminal and type _   killall nautilus
yup i use gnome
[05:05] <Catshrimp> Ah, finally up and running on the *nix system :)
[05:05] <jerp> it might rid the icon then
[05:05] <xar0s> globe, oh dear...  i had a belkin for the longest time.. doesnt work to well
[05:05] <xar0s> globe: are you running dapper?
[05:05] <quantux> I'm using a belkin right now, but the internal pci kind
[05:06] <Catshrimp> So, here's the deal.  I've never run *nix as a desktop before and want to make sure I know what I need to get a gui running.  Do I only need to download/configure the xserver and a window manager?
[05:06] <xar0s> i am too... but it was horrible to set up
[05:06] <globe> xar0s gnome
[05:06] <xar0s> ok... thats good..
[05:06] <quantux> ubuntu has always auto set mine up
[05:06] <n3rdism> globe: if it is at all possible to get a different device. look for something that supports atheros (most netgear). 80% chance it will work out of the box
[05:07] <quantux> I didn't even realize it until I noticed I was browsing the web during the install...
[05:07] <xar0s> globe'  if you type 'iwconfig' into terminal, what readout do you get
[05:07] <quantux> it just set it up, and hooked up to the first open access point
[05:07] <Catshrimp> quantux: I'd rather not have ubuntu install a bunch of stuff that I'll never use.  So I opted to install the base server package and go from there =)
[05:07] <Catshrimp> quantux: oh, nevermind, thought you were referring to my question
[05:08] <globe> xar0s oh boy lag....
[05:09] <xar0s> lol... poor globe
[05:09] <globe> xar0s eth0, lo, sit0 no wireless connections
[05:09] <xar0s> ok
[05:09] <xar0s> globe have you modprobed ndiswrapper?
[05:09] <globe> yep.
[05:10] <Captain_Apathy> hi everyone, I have a question, can ubuntu read/write ntfs file systems and if so can someone refer me to a page where I can read up on how to do it?
[05:10] <xar0s> and you are using the correct windoes driver?
[05:10] <globe> xar0s: afik....
[05:10] <kitche> !ntfs| Captain_Apathy
[05:10] <ubotu> Captain_Apathy: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[05:10] <globe> xar0s: is there a way to check that?
[05:11] <xar0s> do you have a windows box?
[05:11] <Captain_Apathy> thanks for the page ubotu
[05:11] <globe> xar0s:...heh I'm on it ;-)
[05:11] <lemonsCC> what is the default irc client in ubuntu?
[05:11] <majestik> so, if i add an user with the command useradd, will i have to configure something for entering gnome as it did with my default user?
[05:11] <x-r00t-x> how do i install cgi on apache2?
[05:11] <globe> lemonsCC irssi
[05:11] <lemonsCC> k thanks
[05:12] <globe> np
[05:12] <wolv3rin3> hello
[05:12] <xar0s> globe: plug the card in and go into device manager. then see what driver it loads, make sure you use THAT driver in ubuntu
[05:12] <lemonsCC> i am on my mac i forgot what ubuntu uses =P
[05:13] <CientificoLoco> I have some problems with the instaltion of mecury ...
[05:13] <globe> xar0s ... well... that might not work. I am already on the wireless with a netgear pcmcia card on this windows box. the nix is a desktop
[05:13] <majestik> anyone?
[05:13] <CientificoLoco> when I type mercury on the terminal I get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/dMSN/Main...
[05:14] <xar0s> globe: ah... that could be a problem
[05:14] <administrator__> hi
[05:14] <administrator__> there is a problem with my bash version
[05:14] <globe> yep...
[05:14] <xar0s> globe: you said its usb though... riht?
[05:14] <administrator__> some built in commands in my bash version is not working properly
[05:14] <administrator__> can someone help me pls
[05:14] <globe> xar0s correct
[05:15] <xar0s> so just plug 'er in
[05:15] <xar0s> to test it out
[05:15] <xar0s> you dont ned to use it
[05:15] <globe> lol...welp well see how it goes ;-)
[05:15] <xar0s> tru
[05:15] <xenos76> Can someone direct me to a good page where I can customize some of Ubuntu's features?
[05:15] <krznpsk> can anyone help me getting dual monitors to work in gnome, on 2 graphics cards?
[05:15] <quantux> depends on which features Xenos
[05:16] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76: what kind of features?
[05:16] <Hooked-on-GL> yeah
[05:16] <ThePub> sandy16: sorry, walked away for a bit.  What do you mean by indexes?
[05:16] <xenos76> Well, Im trying to make it so when I click on different workspaces I will have different Icons on each one.
[05:16] <administrator__> someone pls help me
[05:16] <xenos76> So its not so messy.
[05:16] <majestik> is there an app to add users?
[05:17] <quantux> I'm not sure, I don't have any icons at all on my desktops...
[05:17] <Hooked-on-GL> I dont think you can do that, without getting really messy in the process
[05:17] <xenos76> Oh
[05:17] <xenos76> darn
[05:17] <Hooked-on-GL> i tried to change wallpaper on every workspace in XGL
[05:17] <quantux> majestik, you almost have it, it's "adduser"
[05:17] <Hooked-on-GL> that was hard enough
[05:17] <sandy16> ThePub, I think the list of packages that are available at the reposotories. Is n`t that what happens when we apt-get update?
[05:17] <beasty> morning
[05:17] <xenos76> I'm surprised that someone hasn't thought of this before me.
[05:18] <quantux> or system->administration->users and groups
[05:18] <Hooked-on-GL> probably have, just no implementation
[05:18] <Hooked-on-GL> I guess the answer is to keep things tidy
[05:18] <administrator__> can someone help me pls
[05:18] <Hooked-on-GL> all my stuff is in my home folder
[05:18] <majestik> quantux, im guessing is a gui right, cuz there is an app in cli that is useradd
[05:18] <Hooked-on-GL> and I take it out when I need it
[05:18] <ThePub> sandy16: ok, package lists.  yeah, when you update there is an index downloaded.  I think it's in /var/cache/apt too.. why would you need it?
[05:18] <xar0s> administrator_ what do you need?
[05:18] <xenos76> Yeah, well its just that I want to have a different setup as my dad without having to log onto my account to do so.
[05:19] <wolv3rin3> I need some help with Ubuntu installation
[05:19] <wolv3rin3> can someone Pm me?
[05:19] <CientificoLoco> when I type mercury on the terminal I get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/dMSN/Main...
[05:19] <wubrgame1> hey guys
[05:19] <wubrgame1> how do i configure apt-get to use a proxy server
[05:19] <wubrgame1> (not synaptic)
[05:19] <xar0s> wubrgame1
[05:20] <xar0s> its easy
[05:20] <xar0s> really easy
[05:20] <gl0be> xar0s: well, that didnt work. Nothing happened until I got booted off the wireless (not because of the other wireless card, weak signal). But it could be because of the shotty usb ports on this ancient gateway....
[05:20] <wolv3rin3> I need some help with Ubuntu installation
[05:20] <ThePub> sandy16: maybe a better question is, what're you trying to accomplish beyond just finding a packages dependencies?
[05:20] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: do you know any good customization sites anyways?
[05:20] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  Well, there is the gnome look site for wallpapers and icons etc
[05:20] <xar0s> wubrgame1: Edit your /etc/bash.bashrc file as root.
[05:20] <quantux> the gnome gui tool is users-admin
[05:21] <xar0s> add
[05:21] <wolv3rin3> can anyone help me? I am totally new in this subject
[05:21] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  http://www.gnome-look.org
[05:21] <xar0s> export http_proxy=http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3128/
[05:21] <xar0s> export ftp_proxy=http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3128/
[05:21] <TGPO> wolv3rin3, whats your question?
[05:21] <xar0s> (or whatever your proxy is)
[05:21] <lemonsCC> wlov: what do you need help with?
[05:21] <Terminus> !ask| wolv3rin3
[05:21] <ubotu> wolv3rin3: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:21] <wubrgame1> what ?
[05:21] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: naa, that is just themes and stuff. I would probably have to edit the ubuntu source code to fix my problem.
[05:22] <xar0s> globe: hmm.... so its not working on the windos box iether...
[05:22] <n3rdism> so long, champloo time!
[05:22] <wolv3rin3> I have dvd of Ubuntu 6.06 and I want to know how to install it in OEM mode
[05:22] <xar0s> globe: has that card ever worked?
[05:22] <wolv3rin3> its a live DVD
[05:22] <administrator__> lol
[05:22] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  Well, i think you should get to know ubuntu a bit, then decide on these things
[05:22] <gl0be> xar0s yes, but it does work on some windows boxes. or at least it did a week ago
[05:22] <wolv3rin3> means I can boot from that
[05:23] <wolv3rin3> which can load linux
[05:23] <xar0s> globe: ok... iwconfig didnt work... now try 'ifconfig'
[05:23] <TGPO> wolv3rin3, why OEM?
[05:23] <lemonsCC> wolv3rin3: OEM mode is only available from the alternate CD
[05:23] <xar0s> globe: see what that reads out
[05:24] <wolv3rin3> cause I tried it after booting to desktiop by clicking on Install icon but then I went upo 5th step out of 6
[05:24] <wolv3rin3> and then it get hanged
[05:24] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: the most experience I have hand with Ubuntu is trying to install WINE manually.
[05:24] <wolv3rin3> at that partition step
[05:24] <sunnz2> How do I install win32codecs on 6.10?
[05:24] <gl0be> xar0s: ifconfig reads out only eth0, with no connections (its unplugged). ifconfig -a reads out eth0, sit0, lo all connectionless
[05:24] <dyzlex> Ok, who can hook me up with a link to setting up XGL/Beryl in 6.06?
[05:25] <sandy16> ThePub, i am trying to rewrite the dapper cd with the required packeages like codecs burners etc. so that would help my pals who have no internet facility
[05:25] <TGPO> sunnz2, http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool
[05:25] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  Well, get used to basic things like the console, and apt
[05:25] <sunnz2> TPGO, yes??
[05:25] <administrator__> this so cool
[05:26] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: Trust me, im very familiar with apt-get
[05:26] <TGPO> sunnz2, go to that link go to the 'w' section and download the .deb
[05:26] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  Good.
[05:26] <ThePub> sandy16: maybe something like this then?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[05:26] <sunnz2> TPGO, done.
[05:26] <wolv3rin3> any Idea why my system is getting hang durin that last partition step
[05:26] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  I just thought for a minute maybe you were new, just out from windows
[05:26] <TGPO> sunnz2, double click the .deb file
[05:26] <ThePub> sandy16: that's going in the right direction it sounds like.  you want to customize the installer.
[05:27] <xar0s> globe: do you know your essid? is you go into the network moniter, then configure, then prefs for eth0, can you enter n essid?
[05:27] <sunnz2> TGPO, I am ssh'ing
[05:27] <administrator__> hmm
[05:27] <dyzlex> !beryl
[05:27] <sunnz2> So no GUI.
[05:27] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[05:27] <sandy16> ThePub, Not the installer but .. the packages ..
[05:27] <gl0be> xar0s well, no. eth0 is the wired connection.
[05:27] <xar0s> hmm
[05:28] <dyzlex> Gah, there was a link to installing beryl specifically on 6.06, does anyone have a link?
[05:28] <TGPO> sunnz2, well then, I would suggest using links2 if your not running a GUI
[05:28] <ThePub> sandy16: you'd have to customize the installer :)  http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/
[05:28] <sunnz2> TGPO, that's a browser...
[05:28] <xar0s> my belkin reads as eth0
[05:28] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: No, I have used Ubuntu a bit but, I got rid of it due to compatibility issues with my favorite games. My dad however can't afford the luxury of owning a windows XP cd so I said "It might take a while to get used to but, look on the bright side, You'll NEVER get viruses on this computer"
[05:28] <gl0be> xar0s: I am starting to think that the dongle is dead. We think the old computer we pulled it off of took a surge and I thank that might have killed the dongle too
[05:28] <ThePub> sandy16: anyhow.. *shrug*  I'll admit, never had to do that, too spoiled with internet connections :)
[05:29] <xar0s> that very well could be it
[05:29] <xar0s> im really sorry i couldnt have been of more help
[05:29] <xar0s> :-/
[05:29] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  Yeah, that stuff is an upside
[05:29] <TGPO> sunnz2, yes, you want to go to a website (port 80) not ssh (port 22?23?)
[05:29] <wolv3rin3> any idea: Terminus?
[05:29] <sunnz2> TGPO, I've download the thing.
[05:29] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  I use cedega for games :P
[05:29] <sandy16> ThePub, but how would a jigdo gonna help me?
[05:29] <gl0be> xar0s: thanks a lot for tryin! we'll be buyin a netgear methinks ;-)
[05:29] <xar0s> no
[05:29] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  WoW, COD2 etc
[05:29] <xar0s> senao is the way to go
[05:29] <xar0s> lol
[05:30] <gl0be> senao?
[05:30] <xar0s> yea
[05:30] <TGPO> sunnz2, dpkg -i w32codecs*.deb
[05:30] <gl0be> ive never heard of them
[05:30] <dyzlex> Does cedega work with steam?
[05:30] <ThePub> sandy16: read about it :)  you can customize your intallation packages.  it's just a different way of building an install iso.  just sounded like something that would be useful.
[05:30] <xar0s> they are great for linux
[05:30] <sandy16> ThePub, thats really good :)
[05:30] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: Yeah, I tryed to set up CEDEGA manually instead of buying it but, that was a mistake and with about 3 hours straight of trying to figure it out with tutorials, I gave up.
[05:31] <gl0be> xar0s: you happen to have a link?
[05:31] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: I mainly wanted to use it for WoW and steam.
[05:31] <administrator__> its old school time
[05:31] <xar0s> um
[05:31] <xar0s> google for em
[05:31] <xar0s> they pwn
[05:31] <xar0s> prism2.5
[05:31] <wolv3rin3> I need some help with Ubuntu installation
[05:31] <xar0s> senao
[05:31] <ThePub> sandy16: dunno how to build a cdrom archive, it's possible.. but like I said it's beyond me.  just trying to be helpful.  myself I'd just burn a normal install iso then dump the latest debs into another custom iso and install them seperately.
[05:31] <gl0be> xar0s cool thanks alot...i'll look into it
[05:31] <xenos76> wolv3rin3: make your question more spacific.
[05:32] <sunnz2> TGPO, ok, the codecs is installed now??? Why mplayer still refuses to play avi files?
[05:32] <administrator__> so many stuff to study
[05:32] <ThePub> sandy16: but I'm ghetto like that ;)
[05:32] <wolv3rin3> I want to know how ti install Ubuntu in OEM mode when I boot from DVD
[05:32] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  Steam runs on linux anyway, does it not?
[05:32] <kitche> wolv3rin3: the desktop-dvd?
[05:32] <TGPO> wolv3rin3, you need the alternate install cd
[05:32] <sandy16> ThePub, no problem  :)
[05:33] <wolv3rin3> no I have live DVD
[05:33] <TGPO> wolv3rin3, you NEED the alternate install CD to do OEM
[05:33] <nothlit> You have to go into alternate mode?
[05:33] <kitche> wolv3rin3 yeah that's teh desktop dvd you need the alternate one
[05:33] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: I don't think it does. If it does, I have never heard of it working without CEDEGA.
[05:33] <transgress> is there a way to remove all .* files except for..?
[05:33] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: Ill look to see if it does.
[05:33] <nothlit> The dvd has both live and alternate mode guys
[05:33] <sunnz2> Anyone know if mplayer + win32codecs will play avi files?
[05:33] <transgress> sunnz2: yes
[05:33] <nothlit> transgress, move it into a safe folder lol?
[05:34] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  I would let you use my account, but that would be logged.  er... i mean.. illegal
[05:34] <nothlit> win32 is for wmv /wma files lol
[05:34] <sunnz2> transgress, but they are not working? How do I get them to work?
[05:34] <transgress> nothlit: .. is the directory above the one i'm in...
[05:34] <nothlit> mplayer will play avi files by itself
[05:34] <transgress> sunnz2: what kind of avi file?
[05:34] <transgress> xvid, divx, etc?
[05:34] <sunnz2> I don't know.. divx maybe?
[05:34] <transgress> file filename.avi
[05:34] <wolv3rin3> when I try to install from OEM mode, installation went upto 70% then my screen went black after some time when I restart my PC (before that I eject DVD) and system boot fro HDD and after booting it asks for username and pass
[05:34] <Murdock_BH> #ubuntu-br
[05:34] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: Your CEDEGA account?
[05:35] <wolv3rin3> but during installation I didnt gave any username and pass
[05:35] <sunnz2> RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 640 x 480, 23.98 fps, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)
[05:35] <wolv3rin3> so it never complete booting process and go to desktop
[05:35] <wolv3rin3> thats my prob
[05:35] <cygnus_> hi, how can i replace EASILY the site that ubuntu is using for getting packages
[05:35] <sunnz2> transgress, so it is xvid.
[05:35] <wolv3rin3> thats why I want to install it from OEM mode
[05:36] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  Yeah
[05:36] <transgress> hey can someone help me.  i'm about to try to clear out my config files before i install fedora and i'm trying with w32codecs that should play
[05:36] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, it asks for a username and pass because its oem mode
[05:36] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  I pay for it per month
[05:36] <transgress> okay err
[05:36] <wolv3rin3> but It has that OEM installation option
[05:36] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  got it on my whole network
[05:36] <transgress> with w32codecs that should play... and that was a question for another room
[05:36] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: How much is it per month?
[05:36] <wolv3rin3> when It boot from dvd there are 8 options
[05:36] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  5
[05:36] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, also try a keypress, it might just have turned off the screen because of inactivity
[05:36] <sunnz2> So how do I get mplayer to work?
[05:36] <wolv3rin3> one of them is install in OEM mode
[05:36] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  im brittish, you do the math
[05:37] <wolv3rin3> no no

Although the Steam Client is not available for Linux, there is a native Linux version of the Half-Life Dedicated Server available."

[05:37] <wolv3rin3> ya OEM mode
[05:38] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, ... OEM mode is supposed to ask you for a username/password when it boots
[05:38] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: Can we get in a private convorsation?
[05:38] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, so someone can set up an account
[05:38] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, also just try the regular alternate install mode
[05:38] <cygnus_> hi, how can i replace EASILY the site that ubuntu is using for getting packages
[05:38] <wolv3rin3> ya but I never provide any password during installation
[05:38] <Baxter_Kylie> hello. can someone please tell me where the settings are stored for removable drives?
[05:39] <wolv3rin3> no that regular alternate install mode is not working
[05:39] <dyzlex> Shoot, whats the command line to upgrade from Dapper to Edgy?

[05:39] <medic30420> Baxter_Kylie, what are you trying to do?
[05:39] <worldjam> hello whats the best way to emulate 32bit on a 64bit ubuntu. im trying to install wine
[05:39] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, THE WHOLE POINT OF OEM MODE IS THAT YOU DON'T PROVIDE A PW DURING INSTALL, you add one after it boots, its for manufacturers
[05:39] <JFlash> I'm looking at postfix's  main.cf.  why 'myorigin' points to etc/mailname in ubuntu?  how to work with this sort of config?
[05:39] <lemonsCC> dyzlex sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[05:39] <transgress> yeah get the ia32 package worldjam
[05:40] <kitche> wolv3rin3 read this to know what oem is suppose to do https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview?highlight=%28oem%29
[05:40] <worldjam> ok cheers
[05:40] <Baxter_Kylie> medic30420: Custom rsync. Automatic backup to harddrive each time I plug in the usb.
[05:40] <wolv3rin3> ya but there is no add option
[05:40] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, its asking you for a password/username to set up
[05:40] <transgress> worldjam: then get a 32bit wine
[05:40] <wolv3rin3> thats what I ma tryin to say
[05:40] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, the one when it boots
[05:40] <worldjam> rgr
[05:40] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, its not supposed to have an add option
[05:40] <TGPO> dyzlex, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to read edgy and then apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:40] <belfegorash> hi there
[05:40] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, just put in your intended username/pw
[05:40] <belfegorash> i dld mplayer i my synaptic cant see it
[05:40] <belfegorash> pls help
[05:41] <wolv3rin3> I did it but then it say wrong/improper usename and password
[05:41] <SilentDis> hello again :)
[05:41] <nothlit> belfegorash, you don't download mplayer from somewhere else, you install it with synaptic
[05:41] <belfegorash> and how i do that ?
[05:41] <belfegorash> because in synaptic there isnt mplayer
[05:41] <belfegorash> :(
[05:41] <nothlit> wolv3rin3, you can try a net install, also make sure you really selected the right mode, and used the disk checking function

[05:42] <wolv3rin3> I'll try again
[05:42] <seamus7> I'm wondering if I have multiple instances of JRE and/or GCJ installed on my computer ... wondering if I can uninstall it all in order to just install one instance of the latest JRE without messing up my system.... I cant' get Azureus to start and wondering if it has something to do with my Java.
[05:42] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  hahah, nah, i didnt.  Sent you one though
[05:42] <wolv3rin3>  thanks to all of u for help
[05:43] <wolv3rin3> :-)
[05:43] <medic30420> Baxter_Kylie, not sure exactly where it is, but i have seen some tutorials that doexactly what you are talking about
[05:43] <TGPO> worldjam, trust me if your looking to use your system as a normal system you will be taking 64 bit back out and putting 32 back in. 64 bit just isnt ready for general use yet
[05:43] <nothlit> seamus7, have you tried rm -fr ~/.azureus ?
[05:43] <xenos76> Hooked-on-GL: Hmm odd, do you want to try to communicate through msn or maybe aim?
[05:44] <worldjam> but cant you just emulate 32
[05:44] <TGPO> worldjam, not effectivly or easily
[05:44] <seamus7> nothilit: I moved /.azureus to trash
[05:44] <Hooked-on-GL> xenos76:  Sounds good.  Im a gtalk user myself, but MSN will do fine
[05:44] <xenos76> ok
[05:44] <xenos76> my msn<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:44] <Hooked-on-GL> k
[05:45] <Baxter_Kylie> medic30420: Hmm. I have my own python script already written to handle the sequential backups (I'm keeping the 3 most recent) ... I just don't know where the setting specifically controlling the usb automounting are.
[05:45] <TGPO> worldjam, you can do just about anything, however even setting up wine is 64 bit is a lesson in frustration, using it is next to impossible
[05:45] <Adammk> talk about DRM and proprietary software being restrictive: I'm switching back to windows cause ubuntu doesn't have much support for my MTP music device. I should have been smarter and got a UMS player, and I regret that decision now. I will however watch Gnomad 2 and Amarok's changelogs and switch back the instant they've implemented Windows Media Player-like syncronization features to my MTP device (or when I get a new UMS player).
[05:45] <Adammk> Sorry guys it's been great and I've learned a lot more about computers than if I had continued my life on Windows, but Music is a big deal to me and I need easy tranfer and managment.
[05:45] <nothlit> seamus7, run azureus in a command line and google the errors, or download the azureus from azureus.sf.net and replace the current azureus.jar you have with theirs
[05:45] <seamus7> nothlit: ok i'll try that thx
[05:46] <necrodrako> whats a good iso creator and burner for ubuntu?

[05:49] <nothlit> seamus7, no that means java hasn't been installed
[05:50] <sunnz2> u help me watch bleach,nothlit
[05:50] <nothlit> seamus7, basically means the java interpreter isn't in /usr/bin
[05:50] <Flannel> seamus7: did you install it through package management? (the java package from the repositories?)
[05:50] <seamus7> Flannel: no
[05:50] <nothlit> sunnz2, well we can't deprive anyone of bleach :)
[05:50] <lemonsCC> Is there any other way I can speed up the time it takes to get to xdm ?  (I already turned off unused processes)
[05:51] <Flannel> lemonsCC: you running edgy? (for upstart?)
[05:51] <lemonsCC> dapper
[05:51] <lemonsCC> This is on a pentium MMx
[05:51] <lemonsCC> will upstart help that much?
[05:51] <seamus7> Flannel: I used this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_JRE_v5.0_Update_10
[05:51] <Flannel> lemonsCC: upstart will hasten the time, yeah.  Because you don't need to wait for non-XDM related stuff to start XDM
[05:52] <Flannel> seamus7: use the wiki, not ubuntuguide.  And, java has a package, it does it all for you.
[05:52] <nothlit> lemonsCC, if you've disabled unnecesary services, you  can lower the timeout on grub and disable the splash, otherwise recompiling your kernel may help
[05:52] <Flannel> !java | seamus7
[05:52] <ubotu> seamus7: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[05:52] <lemonsCC> There is no splash (this is a server install +fluxbox)
[05:52] <Flannel> lemonsCC: have you set the grub delay to zero yet?
[05:53] <lemonsCC> nothlit how much would recompling help?
[05:53] <nothlit> lemonsCC, not much
[05:53] <lemonsCC> flannel: set it to 1
[05:53] <Flannel> lemonsCC: not much, if any
[05:53] <seamus7> ubotu: so there's no real benefit of updating to update 10 yet or is that the Ubuntu package is the best choice regardless?
[05:53] <nothlit> lemonsCC, otherwise you could switch to a more spartan distro
[05:53] <lemonsCC> nothlit: spartan?
[05:54] <kitche> seamus7: ubuntu packages are known to work
[05:54] <seamus7> kitche: gotcha thx everyone
[05:54] <Flannel> seamus7: you'll get whatever feature enhancements are in v10, but you'll lose all the benefits of package management.  Just like all software
[05:54] <nothlit> lemonsCC, minimal
[05:54] <seamus7> Flannel: ok I see thx
[05:55] <lemonsCC> nothlit: any recomendations?
[05:56] <nothlit> lemonsCC, well i don't know about spartan, but arch yoper and vector are supposed to be fast, and i suppose gentoo of course

[06:13] <k0rd> Question: Is Ubuntu a good os to code in?
[06:13] <AngryElf> so, given that all the md5 sums checked out why would an Xubuntu CD boot and a Kubuntu and Ubuntu CD not? -- they both lock up at "adding live CD user"...
[06:13] <Flannel> k0rd: linux is a good OS to code in, yes.
[06:13] <Flannel> AngryElf: bad burns?  did you burn at 4x?
[06:13] <k0rd> thanks :D
[06:15] <mister_roboto> k0rd: i guess that depends on if you know how to code and if you're comfortable in unix/linux
[06:15] <belfegorash> what name have "mplayer" in synaptic because i can find it

[06:15] <Flannel> belfegorash: mplayer is in multiverse, do you have that enabled?
[06:15] <regeya> oog, am I getting old or does anyone else wonder 'what's an .amr'
[06:16] <belfegorash> i guess not

[06:24] <belfegorash> when i open mplayer is an eror "new face failled why?
[06:24] <StikkitJim> thanks mister_roboto :D
[06:24] <corevette> my sound doesn't work at all
[06:24] <sushi_> How do i disable a certain package from being updated in Software Updates?
[06:24] <mister_roboto> StikkitJim: oops, index isn't gonna be right.
[06:25] <Flannel> juantelez_: yep.
[06:25] <mister_roboto> StikkitJim: but it's close. fix it :)
[06:25] <TriGz> Bah, ill just asked, ive done a sudo apt-get install totem-xine, to install MP3 codecs, but it still wont play my mp3's >.<
[06:25] <juantelez_> thanks again Flannel
[06:25] <StikkitJim> awesome.. having a go
[06:26] <ITSa341> nemish    you around?
[06:26] <juantelez_> what should i do now? I have to config an archive to install de packages whit sudo apt-get install or there is an easier way to do it?
[06:27] <lovloss> I love you guys :D
[06:27] <sushi_> juantelez: when you use apt-get install, it will download, install, and configure for you.
[06:27] <sushi_> in most cases*
[06:27] <Flannel> juantelez_: you'll need to use apt-cdrom to add the CD as a repository
[06:27] <lovloss> apt-get install is my friend. but i make the mistake of downloading all the suggested programs c.c
[06:28] <Manstein> somebody around that knows how to backup a boot partition?
[06:28] <sushi_> Does anybody know how to disable a package from the software updates list?
[06:28] <juantelez_> Flannel so, i hace to make "sudo apt-cdrom install gcc"?
[06:28] <juantelez_> *have
[06:28] <Flannel> juantelez_: no, apt-cdrom will add the CD into your apt repository, then you use the normal apt-get
[06:29] <sushi_> Manstein: What boot partition.  It usually lies on the first part of the disk which has the boot flag on.
[06:29] <Manstein> I'm running a SATA RAID 0 Setup, which boots from an old 2gb disk (just grub and the /boot partition, the ext2 volume on the boot disk is just 250 MB, just for the boot process.
[06:29] <juantelez_> Flannel thanks, and what file did I need to configure to add apt-cdrom ?
[06:29] <Manstein> the harddisk is making "funny" noises, i want to replace it
[06:30] <sushi_> Manstein: grub loader is installed on that 2gb disk then, in the only partition.
[06:30] <majestik> what system is better, ubuntu or debian
[06:30] <Flannel> juantelez_: you don't.  just use "sudo apt-cdrom add"
[06:30] <sushi_> juantelez: /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:30] <lovloss> ubuntu!!!!!!
[06:30] <sushi_> i love ubuntu
[06:30] <belfegorash> maybe the font path is wrong..please supply.....what sould i do ?the mplayer is not working plssss
[06:30] <Manstein> i tried to use ghost in order to back them up, but since some information is'nt retrievable........
[06:30] <corevette> anyone know why my sound won't work?
[06:30] <Flannel> !sound | corevette
[06:30] <lovloss> majestik    Debian is ubuntu - working
[06:30] <ubotu> corevette: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[06:30] <juantelez_> thanks you very much sushi_!!
[06:31] <Manstein> is there a way to create another boot disk?
[06:31] <ITSa341> Manstein   go look around linux.org   there is a live linux cd for disk and partition backups   can't remember the name but it is comparable to Partition Magic
[06:31] <Flannel> majestik: they're different.  Simple as that.  "better" depends on what you're looking for, and even then, theres almost always ambiguity
[06:31] <Manstein> Ok will do guys
[06:31] <Manstein> tnx :D
[06:31] <ITSa341> Manstein   you can use it to backup the partition and or copy it to another disk
[06:31] <StikkitJim> mister_roboto : is the min function in a weird header?
[06:31] <sushi_> How to make a boot cd: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19428.html
[06:31] <belfegorash> error..maybe the font path is wrong..please supply.....what sould i do ?the mplayer is not working plssss
[06:32] <Manstein> Mmmz ITSa341, Ghost couldn't do it, but i will try to find the distro u were mentioning
[06:32] <Manstein> tnx
[06:32] <sushi_> really good guide there
[06:32] <Flannel> StikkitJim: you might try asking in ##C
[06:32] <lovloss> Ubuntu was made by a rich guy for the sake of poor kids in south africa who cant afford microsoft. =)  Its extremely simple compared to other flavors and just generally stable
[06:32] <StikkitJim> thank you Flannel
[06:33] <ITSa341> Manstein it runs on linux and is designed for exactly what you are doing....in linux
[06:33] <Manstein> without reboot that is :D?
[06:33] <majestik> Flannel, yeah its ambiguous, you just cant decide which distribution, its kind of choices of destiny
[06:33] <mister_roboto> StikkitJim: well... fmin is.  just use the '<' operator and be done with it. you need to stash the value of the lowest index anyway
[06:33] <sushi_> lovloss well said
[06:33] <Flannel> majestik: best thing to do is try a few out, and see what you like
[06:33] <sushi_> i love ubuntu
[06:33] <Manstein> ITSa341, ill try to find the distro on www.linux.org
[06:34] <ITSa341> cool
[06:34] <ITSa341> that is where I found it I think
[06:34] <mister_roboto> StikkitJim: something like "if (arr[i]  < lowest) { lowest=arr[i] ; index=i; }"    is this your homework or something?  you don't seem to know anything
[06:34] <lovloss> For moral reasons alone I would stick to this prorgam. I have a very high level respect for the ideals behind it. And it really works for me - every mistake i have ever made is third-party involved
[06:34] <Manstein> tnx :D
[06:34] <ITSa341> I used it to clone a raid array and a boot partition as you are working with a couple years ago
[06:34] <Manstein> ok
[06:34] <varsendaggr> how do i start gstreamer from the command line
[06:35] <sushi_> Ubuntu Works really well for me too, and I have tried many distros
[06:35] <Manstein> One more question. I am using Linux software raid. If anything happens to my boot HDD, will i be able to retrieve the data from the raid 0 array?
[06:35] <lovloss> One last reason to use Ubuntu: Best. Community. Ever.
[06:36] <lovloss> ;D
[06:36] <mister_roboto> lovloss: i agree. the community is fantastic
[06:36] <metta> good docs, good people
[06:36] <lovloss> yep. I keep this chat room at the top of the screen in a quick link.
[06:36] <ITSa341> Manstein   I would be careful until you nackup the 2bg drive and have the replacement installed and booting
[06:37] <ITSa341> Backup*\
[06:37] <ubun> this channel has been more useful to me than ubuntuforums anyway
[06:37] <Manstein> yeah, get it ITSa341
[06:37] <ubun> but probably because i only ask super hard questions on there that can't be answered in here in 5 seconds
[06:37] <Manstein> well ok i'm on my way then, ill give it some shots :D
[06:37] <ITSa341> Manstein  I would also recommend replaceing it SOON
[06:38] <Manstein> Yups, that's why im still up, was about to go to sleep, just when i was finishing my downloads, the 2gb started to crackle :D
[06:38] <ITSa341> Manstein  Bummer, I lost a 250GB in my xbox last week
[06:38] <econobeing> if i can just get alsa sound working, i'd be set
[06:38] <Manstein> some things just can't wait
[06:39] <Manstein> Mmz, i lost a 120 GB in my mediapc as well
[06:39] <Manstein> sucks
[06:39] <sushi_> arent there ways of detecting before your hdd is about to break?
[06:39] <sushi_> like a software solution
[06:39] <Manstein> nah , just make sure u have backups
[06:39] <slop> how do i get a second hard disk to automatically mount in a folder i created called /storage ?
[06:39] <ITSa341> it's ok I'll have more room with another 500 in the xbox,  with 3 500gb drives I can fit a ton of games movies and Linux
[06:40] <dojozo> hello everyone. I am in the market to buy a wireless card for a desktop with ubuntu. What should I be looking for on newegg?
[06:40] <ITSa341> When will Ubuntu work on the xbox  :-)
[06:40] <Manstein> Nice to have so much HDD space
[06:40] <Manstein> comes in quite handy
[06:40] <ITSa341> yup
[06:40] <ITSa341> no more looking for the dvd in one of 4 closets
[06:41] <Manstein> yups :D
[06:41] <Manstein> that's my perspective as well
[06:41] <Manstein> who needs dvd's :D?
[06:41] <ITSa341> I use each dvd ONE time
[06:41] <ITSa341> hehe
[06:41] <sushi_> slop at the end of /etc/fstab  put something like /dev/hda2 /storage ext2 auto 0 0       if it is formatted as ext2 and if the device is hda2..etc
[06:42] <slop> sushi_, how can i check that it's ext2?
[06:42] <sushi_> dojozo : my intel proset wireless works great    shrug
[06:43] <Manstein> @slop, just check disk management?
[06:43] <sushi_> slop: it will tell u when you do a sudo mount -a    (-a means to mount what is in the fstab)
[06:43] <sushi_> ive never had to use the gui solution =\
[06:43] <ITSa341> dojozo   I have had good luck with Broadcom cards, they sometimes take a little tweaking or ndiswrapper but I get great signal and rock solid stable connection
[06:44] <slop> sushi_, that did it, thanks :)
[06:44] <sushi_> yey
[06:44] <globe> ITSa341 thx (nickchange)
[06:44] <slop> now if i could just get sound working in flash 9...
[06:45] <econobeing> okay, okay, one last time: "beryl-???" (so sorry ._.)
[06:45] <ITSa341> dojozo   there are hardware compatibility lists on the net and I think Linspire still has one easy to find at their site. Before buying look up the card you are looking at there and make sure it is listed
[06:45] <econobeing> i got the text editor open ready for it this time
[06:45] <sushi_> anyone get beryl to work with fglrx?
[06:46] <ITSa341> hehe  beryl is cool
[06:46] <econobeing> beryl-manager, that's it
[06:46] <sushi_> ITSa341 u must use nvidia
[06:46] <ITSa341> sushi   I have nVidia, Intel, ATI and many more    I have run xgl on the nVidia and the ATI

[06:54] <sc4ttrbrain> !enter | malt
[06:54] <ubotu> malt: Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[06:54] <sportsFan> you guys do any dreamlinux support ?
[06:55] <malt> I know i was trying to explain my problem sorry
[06:55] <sc4ttrbrain> its ok :D
[06:56] <cha0t1c> hello
[06:57] <cha0t1c> does anyone know how to adjust the refresh rate, I tried all methods but they still wont work when I'm logging in, I have 19" lcd lg, refresh rate 75 Hz 1280*1024
[06:58] <nothlit> Annirak, ps -e | grep commandname
[06:58] <poh> oh shoot me
[06:58] <Manstein> ITSa341, I'm trying the "dd" program. Since it's my first time using "dd" and I don't know what I'm doing, any comments will be appreciated :D.
[06:59] <ITSa341> dd?
[06:59] <Manstein> ITSa341, I'm trying the "dd" program. Since it's my first time using "dd" and I don't know what I'm doing, any comments will be appreciated :D.
[06:59] <Manstein> I'm planning on running the command whilst running from a live cd. Will this work : dd -noerror if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
[06:59] <phu_> hey, guy, how can I mirror all debian packages on debian website
[06:59] <itsmabus> ITSa341: some sort of data recovery program afaik
[06:59] <cha0t1c> also installing plugins for firefox is a drag, any easier way,
[07:00] <Manstein> just ran across it, dunno if it's any good
[07:00] <phu_> i want to key a local copy of all debian packages for just CPU architecture: i386 and mipsel
[07:00] <Seveas> Manstein, it'll be slow
[07:00] <Manstein> its 250 MB
[07:00] <sportsFan> heck, i'd just like to have access to my drive, i can while in live cd mode, but once in the actual OS, the drives won't mount.
[07:00] <Manstein> only my boot hdd
[07:00] <Seveas> Manstein, and it'll only work if the disks are the  same size
[07:00] <cha0t1c> specially the flash player, it keeps failing, incompatibility with X86_64 bit
[07:00] <ITSa341> Manstein    asking the wrong person, I can't remember the name of the live linux disk utilities I found but they were graphical like Partition Magic and was idiot proof
[07:01] <Seveas> Manstein, to speed it up, add bs=1024 to the command
[07:01] <sportsFan> my ssh incoming doesn't work, do i have to start it first ?
[07:01] <ITSa341> Manstein   Seveas is the one to listen to, saved my butt a few times in here !!   :-)
[07:02] <Manstein> well ok then
[07:02] <Manstein> dd --noerror if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=1024
[07:02] <Seveas> sportsFan, by default the ssh daemon is not installed
[07:02] <Manstein> that should do the trick from live cd
[07:02] <sportsFan> i did the apt-get install ssh
[07:02] <Manstein> ?
[07:02] <sportsFan> how do i start it ?
[07:02] <Seveas> sportsFan, it should be started then, try this: sudo netstat -tlpn
[07:02] <Seveas> and paste the output on the pastebin
[07:02] <Seveas> Manstein, yes
[07:03] <sportsFan> different computer
[07:03] <sportsFan> trying to get it up before killing this one
[07:03] <Seveas> heh ok
[07:03] <cmt^^> Good*
[07:03] <Manstein> Seveas, as for the size problem, i have another disk of the same size, its another brand though. Will this matter?
[07:03] <Seveas> sportsFan, then to make sure it has started: sudo invoke-rc.d ssh start
[07:03] <Seveas> Manstein, no
[07:04] <Manstein> Seveas, tnx
[07:04] <Manstein> :D
[07:04] <Manstein> will give it a try, will be back when done thanking u guys :D
[07:04] <sportsFan> all i show is something called port map
[07:05] <cmt^^> Good morning ladies and gents!
[07:05] <sportsFan> nope, still connection refused
[07:05] <nothlit> sportsFan, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[07:05] <ITSa341> ladies and gents   Uh oh   I feel out of place now
[07:05] <belfegorash> i must instal codecs ..or the mplayer have codes in it
[07:05] <belfegorash> ?
[07:06] <belfegorash> codecs*
[07:06] <nothlit> mplayer has most codecs already
[07:06] <nothlit> vlc has more built in though
[07:06] <belfegorash> yes but when i open it ..it gives a eror
[07:06] <belfegorash> new face failed
[07:06] <Seveas> !codecs | belfegorash
[07:06] <ubotu> belfegorash: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[07:07] <sportsFan>  <nothlit>  : that worked ! thank you so much
[07:07] <belfegorash> so i must have some codecs right?
[07:07] <sportsFan> btw, VLC contains 99% of the codecs for most movies no days
[07:07] <sportsFan> now*
[07:07] <belfegorash> so i will instal vlc
[07:07] <ITSa341> Does vlc do encrypted dvds?
[07:07] <sportsFan> vlc is the bomb
[07:07] <belfegorash> thank you
[07:08] <nothlit> belfegorash, depends what you are trying to play
[07:08] <belfegorash> prison break:D
[07:08] <belfegorash> avi
[07:08] <nothlit> mplayer should be able to handle tha
[07:08] <nothlit> t
[07:09] <nothlit> gmplayer -vo xv file.avi
[07:09] <belfegorash> must instal gmplayer?
[07:09] <nothlit> no
[07:09] <nothlit> thats included with mplayer
[07:09] <slop> how do i get firefox to always use the mozilla-mplayer plugin instead of the totem plugin to play movies?
[07:10] <belfegorash> i install with synaptic and all was ok ..except with the error
[07:10] <nothlit> slop, you need to remove the totem mozilla plugin through synaptic/apt-get, then restart firefox
[07:10] <slop> nothlit, ok thanks :)
[07:11] <slop> nothlit, you're talking about the package called totem-mozilla, right?
[07:11] <cha0t1c> ok the refresh rate thingy kills my monitor when i start my comp, then i restart the monitor and it works fine, but the refresh rate is so slow that it actually ghosts sometimes, I adjusted Xorg, but nothing happenned
[07:12] <nothlit> slop, um if thats the name, if it isnt go search for packages named totem and look through that
