[00:00] <histo> Siphon: well pidgin should be able to connect to irc. Or xchat can be installed.
[00:00] <jrib> Stavros: install it to /usr/local, that's the place for stuff not managed by the package manager
[00:00] <histo> Siphon: applicaitons > internet> pidgin messenger
[00:00] <VCoolio> Stavros: then use checkinstall, it will create a deb, no issues
[00:00] <InsaneMonkey02> I use Pidgen for IRC.
[00:00] <hiexpo> EWR, you will remove mosr everything with synaptic that's all you need
[00:00] <Stavros> jrib: but i *want* it to be installed over the package so it will be upgraded
[00:00] <EWR> Dr_Willis:so should i reinstall dvd rip then remove it with synaptic
[00:00] <Siphon> histo:  thank you again
[00:00] <jrib> Stavros: why do you think you want it there?
[00:00] <Stavros> jrib: so i can upgrade it using apt
[00:00] <ubuntu_giant> I just installed DirectFB on Ubuntu.  The README says that docs are already installed in html format.   Where is it installed?
[00:01] <Dr_Willis> EWR:  if its not showing up in synaptic - then it IS removed. all these tools do the exact same stuff in the background. They are all front ends to the apt-get systems
[00:01] <jrib> Stavros: then why compile it at all?
[00:01] <histo> Siphon: anyone should be able to help with that broadcom issue its pretty common.
[00:01] <Stavros> jrib: because i need a version for which there is no package yet
[00:01] <hiexpo> EWR, go into synaptic and type dvd rip and if its removed it will be unchecked
[00:01] <Dr_Willis> !apt | EWR
[00:01] <dfcnvt> Anyone play with blueproximity?
[00:01] <Siphon> histo: i figured it was but it's nice to have a community like this
[00:01] <jrib> Stavros: either build your own package or install it to /usr/local.  When the time comes that you do not want it anymore, remove your custom install and use APT
[00:02] <Stavros> jrib: i think i'll build my own package, it should be better
[00:02] <Stavros> jrib: is it easy? i've never done it before
[00:02] <EWR> thanks Dr.Willis!
[00:02] <militant> chrome on ubuntu doesn't do animated gifs??
[00:02] <jrib> !packaging > Stavros
[00:02] <Stavros> militant: it should
[00:02] <jrib> Stavros: you need to do some reading, but it's not really hard
[00:02] <militant> Stavros: only the first frame displays
[00:02] <actionParsnip> militant: i can check for you, i use chromium daily
[00:02] <Stavros> jrib: ah, thanks
[00:02] <Stavros> militant: are you pressing escape by any chance?
[00:02] <Stavros> militant: paste me a gif, i can test it
[00:02] <militant> nope
[00:02] <militant> http://i.imgur.com/hHX6x.gif
[00:03] <hiexpo> it's just dvd rip no need to be paranoid
[00:03] <jrib> Stavros: I think there is an example where a package is simply upgraded on the wiki
[00:03] <Stavros> jrib: ah, i'll take a look, thanks
[00:03] <actionParsnip> militant: http://www.animatedgif.net/animals/dinosaurs/dinosaurs.shtml works fine
[00:03] <Stavros> militant: nope, works fine
[00:03] <militant> yeah the same ones work fine in firefox.  but not my chrome
[00:03] <dfcnvt> that is just awful..
[00:04] <actionParsnip> dfcnvt: what is?
[00:05] <dfcnvt> miliant gave a picture of this http://i.imgur.com/hHX6x.gif ... It looks funny but if you were him.. you would not be happy at all
[00:05] <Stavros> jrib: luckily varnish already contains the package info so i should be able to just run debuild, in theory
[00:06] <jrib> Stavros: right, just change the version
[00:06] <Stavros> jrib: yep, thanks
[00:06] <actionParsnip> militant: add the chrome ppa and use the daily, its spiffy :)
[00:06] <Guest63996> v
[00:07] <actionParsnip> militant: that guy doesnt do too well
[00:07] <aubade> Is there a Linux equivalent to machine Secure Identifiers?
[00:07] <actionParsnip> aubade: what does it do?
[00:07] <Stavros> jrib: which one is the file with the version? :/
[00:07] <biDouilleMan> goodbye everyone
[00:07] <militant> actionParsnip: i have the ppa, i apparently have made the erroneous assumption that it was updating chrome as needed... wait, i've had chrome updates daily, now that i think of it.
[00:07] <jackbrown> hey there i made a little mess with my sources.lst file and i'm getting some errors trying to upgrade the system  anybody can help me ?
[00:07] <jrib> Stavros: use dch
[00:07] <actionParsnip> militant: then you have the daily ppa added :)
[00:07] <aubade> actionParsnip: It's an alphanumerical string used on NT domains to uniquely identify machines.
[00:07] <bobsomebody> hrm.... now im getting a new error from the installer
[00:08] <Matrix> i will like to thank u guys cause now all my program are working especially my webcam and cheese
[00:08] <actionParsnip> aubade: netbios already does that dude
[00:08] <aubade> afaik, I hadn't encountered them until I started my internship. Not much background in NT or Windows in general. ;3
[00:08] <bobsomebody> file system check failed.... (it was running 7.x not even an hour ago just fine)
[00:08] <Stavros> jrib: hmm, that lets me change the changelog
[00:08] <actionParsnip> aubade: you cannoy have a duplicate hostname on the same network
[00:08] <jrib> Stavros: that's where the version is
[00:08] <Stavros> that looks correct actually
[00:08] <Stavros> i'll leave that then, thanks
[00:09] <aubade> actionParsnip: I know that. ;\
[00:09] <militant> actionParsnip: hmmm i have deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main  in my sources.list ... i guess that one isn't really it?
[00:10] <actionParsnip> aubade: looks like  amicrosoft thing, samba may play with it
[00:10] <aubade> actionParsnip: Yeah, something specific to NT domain controllers.
[00:10] <actionParsnip> militant: yeah thats the one, animated gifs work fine here. weird
[00:11] <militant> actionParsnip: yeah i guess it is weird.  it's been that way for days.
[00:11] <militant> well there's a new build that hadn't come up yet, it's fetching now.  we'll see
[00:12] <VCoolio> militant: try to backup your user folder for chrome, then restart chrome, see if some setting broke it
[00:13] <sate> Whats a good program to burn movies to a dvd?
[00:13] <quentusrex_> I have an hp laserjet p1006 that won't print.
[00:13] <quentusrex_> Everything seems to be in order
[00:13] <quentusrex_> cups says the job completed properly
[00:14] <quentusrex_> but it won't print anything.
[00:14] <ladydi> hi everyone! does anyone have a quick pointer on how to get the mouse pad on a laptop to scroll?
[00:14] <militant> hmmm.  the latest build fixes the gif issue.  weird that i had it before.  thanks for the help
[00:14] <quentusrex_> it is as if the printer ignores everything.
[00:14] <sate> Whats a good program to burn movies to a dvd?
[00:14] <darolu> sate: devede is good
[00:14] <Dr_Willis> sate:  i use 'devede to CONVERT video files to 'dvd video' format. Then you use whatever burning tool you like to burn the .iso it makes
[00:15] <darolu> ^^
[00:15] <sate> Well i've been using divx for windows, and the reason i like it, is because it burns movies fast
[00:15] <sate> does devede burn fast?
[00:15] <Dr_Willis> devede dosent BURN - it makes a dvd.iso you then burn
[00:15] <darolu> sate: read what Dr_Willis said, what I said was half the true
[00:15] <Dr_Willis> converting is not burning...
[00:15]  * Dr_Willis wonders why peopel think video conversion tools need to also be optical drive burning tools..
[00:16] <sate> how fast can it "convert"
[00:16] <Dr_Willis> sate:  itsa a front end to ffmpeg or mencoder I belive. So as fast as those tools can.
[00:16]  * duffydack cant replace ffmpeg with 8 threads
[00:17] <Dr_Willis> and it uses other tools to do other things
[00:17] <sate> Crap can't use it for kubuntu
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> You can use Devede on Kubuntu
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> You an use any gnome app you want on kubuntu.
[00:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dr_Willis, are you sure?
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> SpaceGhostC2C:  about what?
[00:18] <sate> do I install from terminal?
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> sate:  thats one way.
[00:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dr_Willis, about devede not being available with KDE.
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> sate:  or install/use synaptic or any other package manager
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> SpaceGhostC2C:  i dident say that... I said it CAN work with kde
[00:19] <sate> I tried the package manager
[00:19] <sate> Didn't work
[00:19] <Dr_Willis> sate:   you may be doing it wrong.
[00:19] <Dr_Willis> !info devede
[00:19] <blakkheim> sate: sudo aptitude install devede
[00:19] <FeasibilityStudy> Why use Devedee when you have K9copy?
[00:19] <Stavros> isn't there a program called kdvd or something?
[00:19] <Stavros> what's kde's default dvd burner?
[00:19] <sate> I just asked what to use
[00:19] <duffydack> k9 is actually really really good
[00:19] <FeasibilityStudy> K3B is default DVD burner
[00:19] <sate> they said devede
[00:19] <Stavros> ah k3b, thanks
[00:19] <Dr_Willis> FeasibilityStudy:  can k9copy  take a video file and make a DVD video ISO yet?
[00:19] <sate> k3b can burn movies?
[00:20] <FeasibilityStudy> K9Copy is default DVD ripper, and it is the best DVD ripper there is, bar none
[00:20] <Stavros> sate: use devede to convert, k3b to burn
[00:20] <Dr_Willis> FeasibilityStudy:  hes goign the OTHER way :)
[00:20] <FeasibilityStudy> Dr_Willis: Yes it can
[00:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dr_Willis, you're right, someone else said can't and it messed with my mind.
[00:20] <FeasibilityStudy> I do it all the time
[00:20] <sate> I knew i should of kept windows
[00:20] <Dr_Willis> FeasibilityStudy:  Must be a new feature then. Ive not toyed with it lately
[00:20] <Stavros> FeasibilityStudy: oh, i was looking for something like that, thanks
[00:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> sate, what's your issue bro?
[00:20] <Dr_Willis> sate:  Time to learn some linux basics I guess.. or just give up.
[00:20] <FeasibilityStudy> I make .iso's all the time with K9Copy
[00:20] <Stavros> sate: use devede to convert, k3b to burn, what's the problem?
[00:21] <sate> Its not about giving "up"
[00:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> sate, what is your problem?
[00:21] <sate> divx, can just burn dvd insanely fast
[00:21] <Dr_Willis> I use devede all the time to copy a dozen cartoon.avis to dvd.iso then i burn them with whatever tool i like.
[00:21] <Dr_Willis> sate:  burning is the trivial part.. its generating the DVD video format thats the hard part
[00:21] <darolu> FeasibilityStudy: say I have a theora/vorbis video; and I want to create an .iso to play on regular DVD players... k9 can do it?
[00:22] <ysmn2> how do i install the humanaty icons?
[00:22] <FeasibilityStudy> darolu: Yeah I believe so
[00:22] <sate> I tried using divx, with wine, but it doesn't find the dvd rom drive
[00:22] <archboxman> what happens when your dvd burn goes out???
[00:23] <darolu> sate: install devede, it does work with Kubuntu, when you open the package manager, select the "search all packages available" option
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> sate:  I could proberly have the thing done with devede in the time its going to take to get wine and divx fitgured out
[00:23] <hiexpo> archboxman, i quits working :)
[00:23] <duffydack> k9copy is rather good, if that dont do what you want, I dont think anything does.
[00:23] <duffydack> without doing it manually that is..
[00:24] <Dr_Willis> Does Handbrake do Video -> dvd format also? Ive not tried that tool much
[00:24] <FeasibilityStudy> So what is it you want to do sate?
[00:24] <duffydack> ^ forgot about that.

[00:27] <Guest83865> #ubuntu-pt
[00:27] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. k9copy dosent seem to want AVI files here. it seems to wants a 'folder' and it dont like my folder of AVI files.. :)
[00:28] <FeasibilityStudy> Dr_Willis: I think youre right, i was just trying it after you asked about it

[00:36] <maxbacky_> hi there, how to autostart unrealircd server on centos boot?
[00:36] <Slart> maxbacky_: ask in a channel for centos.. this is #ubuntu
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> maxbacky_:  ask in #centos ? or see if thers a /etc/rc.local
[00:36] <sate> Well I'm pretty sure you don't tell them to give up in a help related chat
[00:37] <Dr_Willis> sate:  you were the one going ona bout how you wanted to go back to windows.   So go 'do what you want'
[00:37] <FeasibilityStudy> sate: Sometimes it is best to give up, in cases like yours. ;)
[00:37] <darolu> sate: ubuntu issues can be solved here; attitude or patience issues not. May I suggest looking for psychological help regarding this two matters?
[00:37] <Dr_Willis> We dont feel the need to force linux on people or constantly defend it.
[00:37] <maxbacky_> how to join #centos channel? :D
[00:37] <FeasibilityStudy> LOL @ darolu
[00:37] <maxbacky_> join #centos doesn't give me possibilites to speak
[00:37] <Dr_Willis> maxbacky_:  try clicking on the #centos you just typed.. or /join #channelname
[00:38] <Slart> maxbacky_:   /join #centos    if that is the correct channel name.. I'm not sure
[00:38] <darolu> maxbacky_: type /join #centos in
[00:38] <Dr_Willis> maxbacky_:  you proberly need tobe registered
[00:38] <Slart> !register | maxbacky_
[00:38] <sate> I'm comparing a windows app, to a linux app for speed
[00:38] <Dr_Willis> sate:  all the linux apps that do video convertions normally use ffmpeg or mencoder. Thers optmized versions of those 2 programs thta can give improvements in some areas.
[00:38] <FeasibilityStudy> sate: I have found Linux apps to almost always be faster.  This is true in benchmarks like SuperPi for instance.
[00:39] <Dr_Willis> I wonder if the Nvidia GPU patches are going tobe standard in ffmpeg and mencoder soon.
[00:39] <sate> okay lemme break it down
[00:39] <FeasibilityStudy> But of course it will depend on how the programs were compiled and what arch they run on with what optimizations
[00:39] <Dr_Willis> Ive seen many WINDOWS video convertion tools that also use ffmpeg or mencoder
[00:39] <maxbacky_> #centos-unregistered :Cannot send to channel :(
[00:39] <Slart> sate: what applications are you comparing? I think I missed the first part of this conversation
[00:39] <Slart> maxbacky_: register your nick and identify.. that should help
[00:39] <Dr_Willis> ive seen many windows conversion tools that use ffmpeg or mencoder  and dont even mention the GPL or other things Like they should...
[00:40] <sate> My gf and I are watching TV, so she wants to watch a movie, she is very impatent, so I find a movie, and use divx to burn it to a disk
[00:40] <darolu> sate: I have an AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.0Ghz with 8GB RAM @ 1200Mhz. It takes me up to 30 minutes to convert and burn a ~1GiB video to regular DVD disk (using devede + cdrecorder [cli]), if that doesn't satisfy you... we can't help you.
[00:40] <sate> It's very fast, I can normally burn a 700mb movie in 5mins
[00:40] <Dr_Willis> sate:  i got a $50 gizmo that i can plug into a tv.. copy movie to flash drive.. plug into gizmo.. watch movie..
[00:40] <maxbacky_> Slart: how to register
[00:40] <maxbacky_> no guidance under freenode on register
[00:40] <Dr_Willis> sate:  BURNING is the trivial part.. converting the video is the harder part.
[00:40] <tonsofpcs> hmm, x2vnc supports a "hotkey" (a key on the keyboard) as a commandline option.  How can I specify scrolllock?
[00:41] <bobsomebody> darolu: i just got my hands on 2 phenoms (9750's)
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> If the player is able to play divx video files diretrly then you dont need to convert it at all.
[00:41] <Slart> sate: I can promise you that you won't convert a movie in 5 minutes.. no matter what os you're running or what kind of voodoo you use
[00:41] <sate> Yes I lose quality, but it makes her happy, and shes happy, im happy
[00:41] <FeasibilityStudy> sate: burning depends only on your CD-R drive speed.  Not on the OS
[00:41] <bobsomebody> im luv'n em
[00:41] <sate> Implying im evening converting in the first place
[00:41] <FeasibilityStudy> sate and if she's happy, I am sure you're happy AFTER the movie, right?
[00:41] <darolu> bobsomebody: yeah, they are sweet.
[00:42] <Slart> sate: it probably burns it as some other kind of disc.. vcd perhaps? something your dvd-player knows how to handle
[00:42] <bobsomebody> for videos i usually keep some hidef flv's on my main gateway server
[00:42] <bobsomebody> i can watch them on any computer in the house that way

[00:42] <Dr_Willis> found a portable dvd player/tv that can also play avi/divx/video files from disk, or usb or sd card over xmas :) its a neat tool in such cases also

[00:44] <maxbacky> what mean rtfm? :D
[00:44] <Dr_Willis> Slart:  tole them to read the URL the bot gave I think. :)
[00:44] <DasEi> maxbacky: read the friendly manual
[00:44] <darolu> maxbacky: it stands for "read the fuck*ng manual"; but that attitude is not welcome here =)
[00:44] <Slart> maxbacky: Read The Fine Manual.. or some other variant for the f-word

[00:45] <Slart> sate: that might work.. not sure if there is something like the divx app for linux..
[00:45] <samsonite> there are keys with numberpad type secondary buttons, and they are registering instead of the "real" key
[00:45] <andreacarvalho77> alguem ja conseguiu conectar o modem nokia 1508i para acesso a internet

[00:46] <darolu> andreacarvalho77: no falo portuges
[00:46] <samsonite> like pressing 'M' actually does what 'Insert' does
[00:46] <samsonite> any ideas
[00:46] <Slart> samsonite: is there a numlock key somewhere?
[00:46]  * bobsomebody gets his hammer
[00:46] <sate> Slart:  my gf just likes new movies on the fly, and divx can somehow burn a working movie in under  10, 5mins
[00:46] <bobsomebody> time to go fix this computer
[00:46] <darolu> andreacarvalho77: melhor entra canal no Brasil: /join #ubuntu-br, mais pessoas lá
[00:46] <samsonite> Slart yeah, I tried pressing it
[00:47] <FeedHunter>  anyone have a solid mame client for linux.......gmameui freezes up on me
[00:47] <samsonite> Slart i have to press FN and then numlock tho
[00:47] <Slart> samsonite: or some other weird key.. like function-blabla to turn the numerical keyboard on or off
[00:47] <Dr_Willis> sounds like the dvd player is playing divx  or whatever video files to disk.
[00:47] <samsonite> Slart its possible the FN key isnt registering i guess
[00:47] <samsonite> Slart but it was like that from install as well
[00:48] <Dr_Willis> FeedHunter:  thers other mame front ends.. but ive not used any in a few months
[00:48] <sate> Dr_Willis:  so you're saying my dvd player can just read divx dvds?
[00:48] <Slart> sate: try the virtualbox way then.. it seems to be working alright for you.. I don't think virtualbox will be any slower than running windows natively
[00:48] <Aggrav8d> samsonite - wrong kb driver.
[00:48] <Dr_Willis> sate:  yes. thats VERY likely
[00:48] <samsonite> Aggrav8d yeah that seems to be the case
[00:48] <sate> I actaully think vbox runs xp faster for some reason
[00:48] <Dr_Willis> sate:  i have several such players/devices
[00:48] <samsonite> Aggrav8d not sure which one is required tho - its for a thinkpad R31
[00:49] <Aggrav8d> google the keyboard + linux, see if anyone else has this issue.
[00:49] <Slart> samsonite: I talked to someone else with the same problem the other day.. I think we even looked at some keyboard images of the thinkpad keyboard.. we didn't find a solution though
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> of course im waiting for someone to chime in that divx is just mpeg4 or whatever.. :)
[00:49] <samsonite> Aggrav8d any way to find the keyboard model on a laptop
[00:49] <dell> Is there irc where i can learn crack wireless wep key
[00:49] <Aggrav8d> i set up squirrelmail and ispconfig and now i can't seem to access either one through the web.  can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?  both appear to have installed without issue.
[00:49] <looksharp> lol
[00:49] <FeasibilityStudy> dell: youtube
[00:49] <samsonite> Slart yikes, that sucks
[00:49] <darolu> Dr_Willis: avi is divx... mov is mpeg4... do'h!
[00:49] <FeasibilityStudy> dell: look into aircrack-ng
[00:49] <Slart> dell: probably.. or google for it.. it's out there.. this isn't the channel for it though
[00:49] <dell> Have anyone here tried cracking wireless wep key and have a success with 9.10?
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> There are two DivX codecs; the regular MPEG-4 Part 2 DivX codec and the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC DivX Plus HD codec
[00:50] <blakkheim> dell: maybe #scriptkiddies
[00:50] <Dr_Willis> darolu:  err... Hmm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX
[00:50] <darolu> Dr_Willis: I know... I was trying to be humorous
[00:50] <Dr_Willis> darolu:  :P
[00:50] <Dr_Willis> darolu:  about once a week we get inthis big 'avi is just a container'  tutorial session in here. :)
[00:50] <Slart> samsonite: yes.. indeed it does.. not really sure what might be the problem though.. hopefully it's just a setting somewhere
[00:51] <FeasibilityStudy> Dr_Willis: Just like we do when people call Vorbis ogg
[00:51] <jpapertowel> does the grub package in karmic or lucid have fakeraid/dmraid working?
[00:51] <samsonite> Slart ive tried like every layout :(
[00:51] <darolu> Dr_Willis: yeah I was in one not long ago =p
[00:51] <Dr_Willis> or when people rename a .bmp to .jpg and wonder why its still huge...
[00:52] <histo> dell: yes its not that hard. although I would suggest booting a live distro like back track.  All the tools and proper wireless drivers are installed already.
[00:52] <Slart> samsonite: you could try a live cd of lucid.. the next version.. see if it's the same there
[00:52] <FeasibilityStudy> blakkheim: RRROFFFFFLLLL  I went ahead and opened #scriptkiddies as a joke, and that dell dude came in there asking if anyone knew how to crack WEP keys
[00:52] <Viper> Back|Track 3 is good for that....
[00:52] <novato_br> hi everyone
[00:52]  * pokui shakes fist at bluetooth GPS receiver
[00:52] <Slart> samsonite: it's still beta though.. but it might be nice to know if it might be fixed in 2 months
[00:52] <novato_br> I have trouble with vlc
[00:53] <pokui> getting that to work with ubuntu is going to take me a while :(
[00:53] <Slart> novato_br: what kind of trouble?
[00:53] <novato_br> vlc is freezing when it is running mkv videos encoded on h264
[00:53] <samsonite> Slart the lack of a bug report seems to indicate that a fix is unlikely
[00:53] <blakkheim> FeasibilityStudy: hahaha
[00:53] <samsonite> ill have to make one
[00:53] <Slart> samsonite: nothing in the forums?
[00:53] <samsonite> not from what I can find
[00:53] <Viper> @ novato, have Compiz enabled?
[00:54] <novato_br> I've played one mkv video encoded on x264 or h264 and it has frozen
[00:54] <novato_br> I guess, Viper
[00:54] <novato_br> I'm not sure, because I'm running ubuntu from my pendrive live usb
[00:54] <sanzky> hello, any hardcore gedit user around?
[00:54] <Slart> novato_br: try running vlc from a terminal.. see if you get some kind of error message
[00:54] <darolu> novato_br: can you run vlc from command line to see what is causing the error?
[00:54] <novato_br> ok, Slart
[00:54] <novato_br> good idea
[00:54] <Slart> sanzky: those exist? =)
[00:54] <Viper> Well compiz & 3D stuff always seems to freeze VLC or Mplayer
[00:54] <sanzky> I just realize, jeje
[00:54] <novato_br> ok, Viper
[00:55] <looksharp> novato_br: might your pc performance doesn't support mkv or 1080p resoultion
[00:55] <sanzky> Slart, there are a bunch of nice plugins
[00:55] <samsonite> sanzky im about to be a hardcore gedit user... switching the work PC to ubuntu next weekend
[00:55] <darolu> I have to admit it is the first time I hear -hardcore- and -gedit- on the same sentence
[00:55] <novato_br> can't vlc developers fix these bugs yet, Viper?
[00:55] <darolu> well read
[00:55] <samsonite> Vista is terrible for web development - apache crashes more than it serves pages
[00:55] <Slart> sanzky: oh.. I've never even looked at plugins for gedit.. perhaps it's time to re-evaluate it
[00:55] <samsonite> sanzky im looking forward to something more textmate-esque
[00:55] <sanzky> samsonite, do you know any plugin that will mark a close tag or bracket when I select the open tag/bracket ??
[00:55] <Viper> go ask them, that's just my personal experience with it
[00:56] <samsonite> sanzky i dont know, I havent started using it yet :)
[00:56] <Dr_Willis> novato_br:  i notices some issues with vlc the other day and some video files - they were not playjng properly on the netbook. gnom-mplayer handled them fine however..
[00:56] <Dr_Willis> novato_br:  not sure what format they are. They were HD. video i know.
[00:56] <novato_br> but I'm not at netbook, Dr_Willis
[00:56] <novato_br> I'm at desktop computer
[00:56] <sanzky> samsonite, It's actually the textmate style I'm looking to
[00:57] <Dr_Willis> novato_br:  yep. testing vlc in 9.10 right now. lets see if its better
[00:57] <darolu> novato_br: problems with compiz-3d-video-etc, in my experience, have more to do with video drivers and X11 issues than the actual player.
[00:57] <novato_br> hey guys, when the video isn't playing in full screen, there isn't error
[00:57] <FeasibilityStudy> SMPlayer FTW!
[00:58] <looksharp> novato_br:  might be driver issue then
[00:58] <darolu> novato_br: did you run it via terminal (command line)?
[00:58] <Dr_Willis> novato_br:  vlc on 9.10 is not having the same issues.. so perhaps the next vlc will work better  :)
[00:58] <novato_br> yeah, darolu
[00:58] <darolu> novato_br: did it print any error at all?
[00:58] <Dr_Willis> novato_br:  there are vlc daily build ppa's i think
[00:59] <darolu> (before going fs)
[00:59] <novato_br> I see there isn't error when you play the video on full screen at original size
[00:59] <novato_br> when I put 4:3 scale
[00:59] <novato_br> there are problem
[01:00] <darolu> novato_br: what is the error? (if is too long go to paste.ubuntu.com)
[01:00] <novato_br> ok
[01:01] <jeeves_Moss> how can I move all of the contents (and maintain the directory structure) of /mnt/external/Sorted/ to /mnt/MP3/Sorted/ ??
[01:02] <blakkheim> jeeves_Moss: cd /mnt/external ; mv -v Sorted /mnt/MP3
[01:02] <jeeves_Moss> blakkheim, I think when I try that, I get an error.  one sec, I'll check
[01:02] <darolu> jeeves_Moss: you may need to copy/move with super-user (root priviliges)
[01:02] <Dr_Willis> jeeves_Moss:  move or copy?
[01:03] <blakkheim> Dr_Willis: he said move
[01:03] <jeeves_Moss> darolu:  move
[01:03] <Dr_Willis> blakkheim:  often they dont say what they really mean. :)
[01:03] <Strife89> I have a Toshiba Satellite L305D, and the fan just will not slow down once it gets going, unless turned off normally (by Suspending or shutting down). I have searched the Wiki, but in vain. Any ideas?
[01:03] <samsonite> this sucks... now I'm going to have to put XP back on this old laptop since the keyboard wont work
[01:03] <samsonite> kinda an important part :)
[01:03] <Dr_Willis> samsonite:  check the forums yet ?
[01:03] <darolu> jeeves_Moss: try with sudo mv then
[01:04] <samsonite> yep
[01:04] <samsonite> nada
[01:04] <novato_br> I didn't what happened
[01:04] <novato_br> the trouble is gone
[01:04] <Dr_Willis> samsonite:   weird.  Had a friends laptop that was quirky.. then suddendly stated working..
[01:04] <novato_br> it isn't freezing anyomre
[01:04] <Dr_Willis> novato_br:  it magically works :)
[01:04] <novato_br> yeah, Dr_Willis
[01:04] <jeeves_Moss> darolu, mv: inter-device move failed: `Sorted' to `/mnt/MP3/Sorted'; unable to remove target: Is a directory
[01:04] <novato_br> I can't understand
[01:04] <darolu> novato_br: we fixed with our uber-l337 hax0r powah
[01:04] <samsonite> Dr_Willis it is weird, never experienced this on other thinkpads
[01:04] <Dr_Willis> novato_br:  wonder if somthing else was sucking down too much cpu?
[01:05] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis, ? been tring to figure this out everytime i log in it assigns a new eth port /// how do i stop this and assign just one ?
[01:05] <novato_br> where can I see the vlc log errors?
[01:05] <Dr_Willis> samsonite:  try some other disrtos/live cds? see if you can confirm it tobe a issue with a specific kernel version perhaps
[01:05] <jeeves_Moss> blakkheim, mv: inter-device move failed: `Sorted' to `/mnt/MP3/Sorted'; unable to remove target: Is a directory
[01:05] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  ive never seen it do that..  Seen windows do it.. :) but never linux
[01:05] <tianshao> hi all
[01:05] <darolu> jeeves_Moss: include the -R option: sudo mv -R /mnt/external/Sorted /mnt/MP3/
[01:05] <Strife89> I have a Toshiba Satellite L305D, and the fan just will not slow down once it gets going, unless turned off normally (by Suspending or shutting down). I have searched the Wiki, but in vain. Any ideas? (This does not happen in Windows Vista; and it continues to occur long after CPU usage drops to <10%.)
[01:06] <blakkheim> Strife89: did you check your temps
[01:06] <wtfwtfdef> see
[01:06] <wtfwtfdef> wtf
[01:06] <looksharp> novato_br: might your pc performance doesn't support mkv or 1080p resoultion?
[01:06] <jeeves_Moss> darolu, mv: invalid option -- 'R'
[01:06] <Strife89> blakkheim: Not with software, but the fans are blowing cool air.
[01:06] <blakkheim> Strife89: check with software
[01:06] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis, i know me neither everytime it is a differant one which is not a real big because i use wireless but still would like to fix it
[01:06] <Strife89> blakkheim: Can you suggest a package?
[01:07] <darolu> jeeves_Moss: my bad, it is -v
[01:07] <blakkheim> Strife89: lm_sensors
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  so whats changeing exactly?
[01:07] <jeeves_Moss> darolu, I'm trying to move ~300gb of MP3s from the external 2.5" drive to the local box
[01:07] <novato_br> heheeheh, my pc is not able to run 1080, are you gotta be kidding me?
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> jeeves_Moss:  You could just use mc. :)
[01:07] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis, my ethernet port
[01:07] <jeeves_Moss> darolu, and I'd like to get 'er started, then detach the process
[01:07] <novato_br> my pc is 2ghz x2
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> I tend to copy then delete, not move..
[01:07] <novato_br> 64bits
[01:07] <blakkheim> novato_br: that's not all that much to brag about
[01:07] <jeeves_Moss> Dr_Willis, it's on a USB1 connection, and ~300Mb has taken over a WEEK
[01:08] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  yes.. so what is hangeing? you getting eth0 eth1 eth2 eth10000 ?
[01:08] <Strife89> blakkheim: And to execute and check the temps, I do what?

[01:09] <novato_br> sorry
[01:09] <jeeves_Moss> Dr_Willis, I would like to move them (ie. free up the ext drive)
[01:09] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis, exactly because if iu assign a port to a specific program than i always have to use ifconfig and see what it really is and reassign it
[01:09] <EWR> hi.
[01:09] <jeeves_Moss> novato_br, no worries, n00b mistake
[01:09] <Strife89> blakkheim: With what method should I execute the program?
[01:09] <USSJoin> Is there modern documentation for upstart script writing? The best I can find is http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas_for_0.5.1 which is quite lacking.
[01:09] <Gla> if you have a cell phone that is bluetooth enabled, can you hook it up to your computer and make skype calls with it?
[01:09] <Strife89> Call it in a terminal?
[01:09] <EWR> does Xine install itself when you install the restricted formats package?
[01:09] <jeeves_Moss> Gla, dosn't work quite like that.
[01:09] <Dr_Willis> jeeves_Moss:  yes. but i would suggest freeing upthe space. after you are sure you got a good copy on the other device
[01:09] <novato_br> my cpu is
[01:10] <aprilhare> hey. i wanted to install xz-utils to handle .xz archives. it replaces the package lzma but thats ok cause it supplies the same functionality.  i discovered when installing it breaks depends for dpkg, chromium-browser and dpkg-dev - should i worry?

[01:10] <jeeves_Moss> Dr_Willis, lol, isn't there a way of getting rsync to delete the source once the file is moved?
[01:10] <novato_br> it can run 1080p videos
[01:10] <novato_br> withou frozen
[01:10] <hiexpo> Gla, why would you want to use skpe with a cell phone
[01:10] <Dr_Willis> jeeves_Moss:  proberly is.. but i tend tojust use the 'mc' file maager on the cli these days
[01:10] <Gla> hiexpo: I would like a phone to talk with
[01:10] <Gla> rather then a headset
[01:10] <jeeves_Moss> hiexpo, I second that one.  there are a few bluetooth headsets on the market.
[01:11] <looksharp> novato_br:  the video card is most important one
[01:11] <jeeves_Moss> Dr_Willis, true, but I can't sit around and babysit the box. Not to mention I'm ~75 miles from where the box is

[01:11] <Strife89> I wish to run the program installed with the package lm-sensors. How?
[01:11] <Gla> is pretty expensive
[01:11] <hiexpo> jeeves_Moss, _ exately
[01:11] <JoeSomebody> ok so i been having a real fun day, now, when time comes to try tv out - it dont work
[01:12] <JoeSomebody> fails to save settings when i try to set up screen 2
[01:12] <VCoolio> Strife89: configure with "sudo sensors-detect" then just "sensors"
[01:12] <jeeves_Moss> hiexpo, I admit that I use my netbook to display CID, txt msgs, etc all through bluetooth from my PPC
[01:12] <novato_br> don't worry, looksharp
[01:12] <novato_br> my video card can run 1080p too
[01:12] <novato_br> I've checked it
[01:12] <JoeSomebody> i was told that part was working
[01:12] <hiexpo> jeeves_Moss, _  that's differant though /// if ya have a cell phone why not use it to call lol
[01:13] <VCoolio> JoeSomebody: with what app are you trying to set second screen?
[01:13] <JoeSomebody> older nvidia card
[01:13] <Strife89> blakkheim: Highest temp (core1) is 35 C.
[01:13] <jpapertowel> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/101827 would appreciate help installing ubuntu using dmraid/ext4
[01:13] <jeeves_Moss> hiexpo, lol.  espically if the company pays for it!!  I've got 500Mb on mine, so I just play @ will
[01:13] <JoeSomebody> svideo port to tv
[01:13] <Strife89> Lowest temp is 22 C.
[01:13] <VCoolio> JoeSomebody: run nvidia-settings as root (with gksudo)
[01:13] <EWR> Dr_Willis: does Xine install on its own with the restricted formats package?
[01:14] <DasEi> Strife89: lm-sensors installed ?
[01:14] <JoeSomebody> VCoolio i don't know how i ran driver off menu
[01:14] <Strife89> Dasda: Yes.
[01:14] <Strife89> DasEi: Yes.
[01:14] <Strife89> Tab-completion fail. >.<
[01:14] <DasEi> Strife89: ran sensors-detect , added modules ?
[01:14] <hiexpo> jeeves_Moss, _  some people got the iq of a box of rocks and want to run linux lol luclily for them it is much easier these days
[01:15] <Strife89> DasEI: Accidentally skipped adding modules, rerunning.
[01:15] <jeeves_Moss> hiexpo, lol, I'm one of those rocks bud.  Half of "being smart" is knowing you know nothing
[01:15] <looksharp> What is the best irc client for ubuntu
[01:15] <unop> jeeves_Moss,  either delete the destination directory first and then use mv.  or sync the two directories and then delete the source.
[01:15] <alraune> strife: DasEi is called alraune now
[01:15] <blakkheim> looksharp: irssi
[01:15] <jeeves_Moss> unop, do you have the rsync syntax handy?
[01:15] <Otagtubt> not xchat?
[01:16] <JoeSomebody> VCoolio you mean just type in terminal gksudo nvidia-settings ?
[01:16] <unop> jeeves_Moss, rsync can't delete from the source - as far as i can see
[01:16] <Strife89> DasEi: Lines added to /etc/modules, running.
[01:16] <hiexpo> jeeves_Moss, _  yep halfof being smart is noing you don't know and are willing to ask for help
[01:16] <hitek88> So I am using samba as a file server, and everytime I connect to the file server or ftp server from a different computer, I frist have to connect with Putty, then restart samba, then  the file for ftp or through http will show up. Is there a way to fix this?
[01:16] <JoeSomebody> whats gk part of gksudo mean?
[01:16] <alraune> strife89: DasEi is called alraune now

[01:18] <EWR> cool i didn't know you can do that
[01:18] <JoeSomebody> do i just type in terminal gksudo nvidia-settings ? anyone?
[01:18] <alraune> Strife89: right click you upper taskbar on a free space > add to panel
[01:18] <blakkheim> JoeSomebody: yes
[01:18] <jeeves_Moss> JoeSomebody, what are you looking for?
[01:18] <Strife89> alraune: And what is the name of the applet I'm looking for?
[01:18] <VCoolio> JoeSomebody: sorry, yes, if that is what you used for setting the screens in the first place
[01:18] <hiexpo> jeeves_Moss, _  yep and there is a difference from being illiterate and just a plain idiot /// that thinks he knows everything
[01:19] <jeeves_Moss> unop, thanks.  I'll let that run while I'm out @ the club tonight in Toronto with the g/f
[01:19] <JoeSomebody> off menu, i set up tv and it fails to save the settings, and the tv is blank
[01:19] <jeeves_Moss> hiexpo, lol, we've got one of those who I "play nice with" since he's been there longer.  But when it get right down to it, he's the first one to go running for the door
[01:19] <Strife89> alraune: I don't see anything related to temperature.

[01:20] <JoeSomebody> i try over and over , any way i can see separate , and twin view, nothing is savable
[01:20] <JoeSomebody> driver is crap i guess
[01:20] <JoeSomebody> or they didnt make it right?
[01:20] <VCoolio> JoeSomebody: if it is trying to write to xorg.conf it needs root permissions
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> JoeSomebody:  you are running the nvidia-settings tool as  root?
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> I got twinview working here.
[01:20] <JoeSomebody> well ok but why have a menu thing that i cant use ? LOL
[01:21] <JoeSomebody> us newbies expect those to work
[01:21] <jeeves_Moss> hiexpo, and it's not like he's got it together either.  you know the story, $ talks, BS walks!  These are good examples!  http://moseley.ca/pics/kitty/IMG_2023.JPG  http://www.tessawhite.ca
[01:21] <TheErk> Hola.
[01:21] <Dr_Willis> JoeSomebody:  you can save the xorg.conf to  a file thenc opy it.. OR it can apply the settings as a user.
[01:21] <Dr_Willis> Eventually the nvidia0-settings tool will be replaced by the standard config tools.. i hope
[01:21] <MichaelFindlay> if your trying to edit the config for Nvidia, I had to run mine under Sudo, then set it.
[01:22] <jeeves_Moss> I had to do mine in single user mode, then restart X
[01:22] <Strife89> Speaking of graphics drivers, I was wondering if the ATI Radeon X1200 series has gotten any better. :/
[01:22] <hiexpo> jeeves_Moss, _  i usually just shake my head at those types and ignore them //// who is that?
[01:22] <JoeSomebody> i hope soemone is here later, i cant work on the at box any more for 4 hours
[01:22] <Dr_Willis> Strife89:  this is ati you are talking about..
[01:22] <jeeves_Moss> hiexpo, the guy with the Jag is me, and the second link is my fiance
[01:23]  * Dr_Willis thinks the !nvidia wiki page mentons using gksudo to run nvidia-settings
[01:23] <Strife89> Dr_Willis: I know. I would have gotten Intel/nVidia if this wasn't a gift laptop.
[01:23] <hiexpo> jeeves_Moss, _  oh ok
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> gksudo nvidia-settings, tweak the file.. done..
[01:23] <jeeves_Moss> hiexpo, lol, as I said, they take care of the people they need to
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> I do keep backups of my old xorg.confs handy just in case
[01:23] <hiexpo> yep
[01:23] <JoeSomebody> sounds easy
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> Idont even know where the menu item is for the nvidia-settings tool.
[01:23] <hiexpo> brb
[01:24] <MichaelFindlay> there is, I have tried to work out how to change it so that it runs as sudo instead, so I can edit.
[01:24] <Dr_Willis> of course ages ago i actually read the nvidia-docs/readme from the n vidia site. Its amazing the features in tehir drivers.
[01:24] <jeeves_Moss> later everyone.  I've got to go get my girl and get to Toronto!
[01:25] <JoeSomebody> sometimes i wish i still lived in toronto
[01:25] <Otagtubt> i wish more games worked on ubuntu.  i like ubuntu but wine seems a lil funky sometimes ><
[01:25] <alraune> Strife89: sry, was off for a second, sudo apt-get install sensors applet is till missing, also you said you hadn't loaded the modules yet ?
[01:25] <JoeSomebody> ok Dr_Willis i'll try it later
[01:25] <Otagtubt> WoW, and battlefield2
[01:25] <JoeSomebody> thanks
[01:26] <gasull> Hi everybody.  Do all wireless printer work with the same standard or do you need drivers for each one?  I'm trying with Dell V505w.  Thanks.
[01:26] <cribozai> I have a small problem with pulseaudio. After installing libsdl2.0debian-pulseaudio instead of the alsa one i now get urbanterror to work smoothly. But when i use mumble att the same time as i play (also configured to use pulseaudio) i get significant "lags" in the game. If there is a fix for this i would be most happy. My only other option is to go back to 9.04 due to competitive gaming.
[01:26] <JoeSomebody> VCoolio thanks as well
[01:27] <Strife89> alraune: Okay, sensors-applet installed, bringing it up.
[01:27] <fabio123> no more games on linux, opengl era is over,
[01:27] <MichaelFindlay> whats that about games on Linux ;9
[01:27] <alraune> Strife89: we still need to load the modules to have it displaying anything
[01:28] <Strife89> alraune: Actually, I suspect I'll need a log out-log in?
[01:28] <alraune> Strife89: nope, will do at next rebbot, do now :
[01:28] <hiexpo> jeeves_Moss, _  were you live at here in the us?
[01:28] <KiiK> Hi, I use TOP commands and see 10 mysqld there. what do it means ? can I limited it to 1 ?
[01:28] <cribozai> Games on linux work fine most of the time and the quake series is all playable
[01:28] <alraune> Strife89: gedit /etc/modules
[01:28] <MichaelFindlay> what about Under Wine.
[01:28] <alraune> Strife89: find the modulnames
[01:28] <fabio123> cribozai: quake series?
[01:29] <MichaelFindlay> ive got Steam working under it.
[01:29] <Strife89> alraune: What should I add?
[01:29] <alraune> Strife89: then in terminal : sudo modprobe >modulname<
[01:29] <cribozai> fabio123: Yes. Quake 1 trough 4 with all mods are ported to linux
[01:29] <alraune> Strife89: just get the names, without <>
[01:30] <MichaelFindlay> are game makers not paying attention to Linux and the Mac Market these days?
[01:30] <fabio123> every game under development now is pretty directX stuff 10 or 11
[01:30] <Aggrav8d> no
[01:30] <MichaelFindlay> darn
[01:30] <raktunak> buenas
[01:30] <fabio123> i told you, opengl era for games is over
[01:30] <alraune> !games | MichaelFindlay:
[01:30] <Aggrav8d> fabio123 - no.  look at all ps games.  opengl also has a much easier learning curve.
[01:30] <Otagtubt> cribozai: it must be my setup or w/e of wine because i can't get wow or eve online to work "well" on ubuntu via wine.  i have no idea about battlefield 2
[01:30] <raktunak> me akabo d instalar el 9.10 pero no se hacer funcionar el multiescritorio en forma d cubo
[01:30] <raktunak> como he de hacerlo¿
[01:30] <fabio123> Aggrav8d: indeed xbox is better than ps
[01:31] <alraune> MichaelFindlay: with some tricks, some apps do, like wow, or native like rtcw
[01:31] <Aggrav8d> fabio123 - you bought into that dx marketing bs.
[01:31] <cribozai> i will keep buying quake games as long as they are made. Since ID software still ports them to linux
[01:31] <[SW]Dodge> hey there, i just installed ubuntu 9.10 x64 but having problems to start/run. while booting i see the small white ubuntu logo in center of my screen, but then when the login should appear i just get a black screen. i read that ubuntu's xserver trys to autodetect monitor.. it seems that it fails for me, any way to fix that? :(
[01:31] <Aggrav8d> fabio123 - maybe, but I used to make games.  dx is a pain in the ass.
[01:31] <alraune> Strife89: should be two or three modules
[01:31] <MichaelFindlay> VM?
[01:31] <MaT-dg1> fabio123: what about games on mobile devices? (android, iphone,...)
[01:31] <fabio123> no flames please, everubody here konws what i'm talking about
[01:31] <Aggrav8d> MaT-dg1 - fabio doesn't care about them, he's a box fan.
[01:32] <ardchoille> !ot
[01:32] <Strife89> alraune: lp and rtc, both return nothing.
[01:32] <alraune> Strife89: so no error, try adding applet now
[01:32] <Strife89> alraune: Any particular method?
[01:32] <cribozai> ok, ubuntu related. Will ubuntu go for something else than pulseaudio for next release?
[01:33] <Strife89> alraune: I.e., what should I type, exactly?
[01:33] <alraune> Strife89: right-click.. add, shall be there now
[01:33] <Strife89> alraune: Ah.
[01:33] <alraune> Strife89: by modprobe you loaded the "drivers to the kernel, applet is there, too, try again
[01:34] <Strife89> alraune: Actually, hang on.
[01:34] <chetnick> cribozai: i hope so.
[01:34] <Strife89> Module rtc not found.
[01:35] <Strife89> Also, k8temp was already added. No errors returned.

[01:35] <Dr_Willis> i wonder if thers some gui tool for pastebinit  :)

[01:36] <JoeSomebody> to use my remote - how do i utilize this? download the two files and ? http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/atiusb/
[01:36] <ardchoille> !hcl | zulfi
[01:37] <JoeSomebody> do i even have the right files ?
[01:37] <JoeSomebody> for an ati remote wonder?
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> JoeSomebody:  thers a lirc wiki page.. but ive not used a remote/lirc in ages.
[01:37] <Strife89> alraune: My real problem is to make my fan slow down when the CPU isn't as hot. ;)
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> !lirc
[01:38] <JoeSomebody> and i am glad i use that with nvidia video card, not ati :)
[01:38] <alraune> Strife89: could work on that chipset, looking up
[01:38] <Dr_Willis> My tv tuner had a remote. but i found it easier to just use a wireless keyboard
[01:38] <Strife89> sensors (in the terminal, installed with ld-sensors) reports "Core0 Temp 29.0"
[01:38] <Strife89> alraune: Anything else to pastebin? :)
[01:39] <lantizia> How can I __downgrade__ the Pulseaudio in 9.10 back to the version in 9.04 ?
[01:39] <blakkheim> lantizia: you can't
[01:40] <FeasibilityStudy> lantizia: Best thing to do is get rid of Pulseaudio all together
[01:41] <FeasibilityStudy> I use OSS and am very happy to be rid of PA
[01:41] <fabio123> lantizia: is't not impossible, dpkg -r --force-all ... pulseaudio,
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> ive rarely had issues with pulse audio...
[01:41] <lantizia> I'm not getting rid of PA
[01:41] <cribozai> FeasibilityStudy, how did you get rid of pulseaudio?
[01:41] <fabio123> but it's very lame
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> compared to years ago when i had to recompile the kernel to get sound card working... :)  I will stick to what we got these days
[01:42] <lantizia> It's either that... or someone show me how I can get OpenAL to use ALSA directly!?
[01:42] <fabio123> lantizia: gstreamer-properties
[01:42] <fabio123> as for totem or stuff like that
[01:42] <lantizia> fabio123, no _just_ openal
[01:43] <FeasibilityStudy> cribozai: Just uninstall the PA files..Then I blacklisted the ALSA modules.  Then installed OSS..
[01:43] <cribozai> FeasibilityStudy, i would like to keep alsa but throw out PA
[01:44] <FeasibilityStudy> cribozai: You should be able to just uninstall it...It used to take a bunch of stuff with it, but it doesn't anymore I don't think
[01:44] <alraune> Strife89: this is a desktop not a lappy ?

[01:50] <hongouru> can u tell me how to fix this?
[01:51] <alraune> Strife89: I'm not sure for that model, pwm has to be enabled in bios first in any approach, but it shall
[01:52] <Strife89> Enabled in the BIOS, you say? Is it likely to be called pwm there?
[01:52] <Strife89> If not, I won't really know what to look for, except for guessing.
[01:52] <d4m0n> Hi, can anyone help me, I lost the ability to boot into W7 after ubuntu 9.10 install
[01:54] <alraune> d4m0n: ask in #windows on how to restore winloader, then come back here
[01:54] <Strife89> alraune: I'm going to reboot and look in the BIOS setup for a little bit, then I'll come back. I won't change anything unless I'm EXTREMELY sure about it.
[01:54] <d4m0n> ok
[01:54] <Strife89> alraune: Keep an eye out, if you're willing. :)
[01:54] <sludge> hi all, I installed ubuntu on friend's computer.  He has plugged in wireless usb device but keeps getting keyring password request.  I don't know what he has done, but he cant get it to accept the password. Is there a way of resetting this?
[01:55] <alraune> Strife89: you can often set enrgy options and such as fancontrol, silent,powermode ~whatever there
[01:55] <Strife89> alraune: Alright, I'll look for that. :)
[01:55] <sludge> Initially I advised using his login password as the keyring password, but I suspect he entered something else and can't remember it....any ideas?

[02:00] <sweetandy> hi, i just installed ubuntu, but want to disable activation notifications. where's regedit?

[02:02] <Strife89> alraune: I couldn't find any option related to fan speed. :/
[02:02] <Strife89> alraune: The closest that there was was related to dynamic CPU speed.
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> sludge:  theres a keyring that keeps all your other passwords it has saved. You can set the keyring to use a blank password so it wont ask
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> sludge:  i tend to set the keyring password tobe the same as the login password.
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> !keyring
[02:03] <sweetandy> Talk about lack of security
[02:03] <sweetandy> Oh well

[02:04] <Dr_Willis> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/06/clearing-or-resetting-the-gnome-keyring/
[02:05] <sludge> Dr_Willis i have set the login and keyring passwords to the same thing too, the problem is that I have no idea what my friend did, he may have had caps lock on, I found where you can change the password
[02:05] <VCoolio> kcg: for firefox you can use css to fix it in userChrome.css; for openoffice you'll need an other theme, run as: GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/.themes/yourtheme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc openoffice.org
[02:05] <ryan_> sludge: Are you trying to change his login password...?
[02:06] <sludge> from the Applications-->Accesories-->Password and Encryptions
[02:06] <Dr_Willis> sludge:  you can erase the keyring/settings so it  goes back to default/empty
[02:06] <sludge> but Dr_Willis you have to enter the old password before you can change to the new one....but what if you can't remember the old one?  Catch 22?
[02:07] <alraune> Strife89: I can't help you further there, but just googled the chipse, a amd 690 g with a k8 -amd (k10) , try to find s.o. with same model, it's not too hopeless :P
[02:08] <sludge> ryan_ I do not want to change login password....I just want the keyring to be the same password.  However, I think my friend F'ed it up and can't remember what he put in there for keyring password because he gets caught in a loop where it asks for keyring, he enters login, but it keeps asking again and again
[02:08] <matelot> How can I play this http://paste.pocoo.org/show/180664/ in vlc

 how do you erase keyring/settings?
[02:08] <kcg> VCoolio, thanks. Just a noob question perhaps, how do i run that command? just paste it in the terminal?
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> supercom32:  check out bash job controll
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> sludge:  that guide/url tells what file to delete.

[02:13] <Dj_FlyBy[Mobile]> Dr_Willis: where could I find that to just turn off the LC, that would work too
[02:13] <Dr_Willis> Dj_FlyBy[Mobile]:  even then It could be some quirk for the specific laptop

[02:17] <Dr_Willis> CkhiKuzad:  then use gparted or parted or other resize tools.  I always do such a task with the gparted live cd.
[02:17] <RagnarokAngel> Dr_Willis: But I've also seen the "gnome-system-monitor" rake in 60-90% of my processor.
[02:17] <RagnarokAngel> Which is troubling.
[02:18] <jenia> so everyone here, who is using nvidia drivers, had no problem with the installation?
[02:18] <CkhiKuzad> Dr_Willis, i can apt the parted thing right?
[02:18] <ardchoille> jenia: which nvidia card are you using?
[02:19] <jenia> one second let me check the exact model
[02:19] <d4m0n> when i try to boot W7 from grub2 I get..error: no such device: 1a206180206163ab
[02:19] <ardchoille> CkhiKuzad: you can, but the partition that you resize must be unmounted, better to do it from the livecd with gparted
[02:19] <VCoolio> jenia: lspci | grep VGA
[02:20] <ardchoille> VCoolio: Thanks for that
[02:20] <CkhiKuzad> ardchoille, i've used gparted like 20 times in the past 2 days, and they always froze at the "checking filesystem for errors (and possibly fixing them)" thing
[02:20] <DasEi> d4m0n: I'm sorry, can't send to windows
[02:20] <jmknsd> Has anyone tried setting up mysql from apt? I am trying to follow the documentation on the mysql site and what it says should be happening doesn't seem to correspond with what is happening on my system
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> CkhiKuzad:  perhaps you should be manualy checking the fs for errors first?
[02:21] <nanotube> is there any way to change video/microphone settings that empathy uses? currently there appears to be no way to change anything (unlike say, ekiga, where you can choose the devices it uses and all that good stuff).
[02:21] <CkhiKuzad> Dr_Willis, it would help if i knew how, you know?
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> CkhiKuzad:  fsck command.
[02:21] <jenia> geforce 8800 gts 519 mb, two of them
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> CkhiKuzad:  gparted is just a front end to various command line tools
[02:21] <d4m0n> can anyone help me restore W7 loader, or get grub to boot my W7? (after installing ubuntu 9.10)
[02:22] <DasEi> d4m0n: looks like your uuid is wrong, but grub  overwrites mbr, and I don't use win 7 , so no clue
[02:22] <ardchoille> jenia: have you tried the hardware drivers tool? System > Administration > Hardware drivers, that worked for mynvidia geforce 6200
[02:22] <marcuy> what are the most reliable proxies?
[02:22] <lantizia> Hey I removed 2 things from my panel and I've no idea how to get them back (I can't see them in the list of things to add)... one was like a simple user switcher and another was like a little envelope !
[02:22] <marcuy> *which
[02:22] <jenia> yea that exactly how i installed it, but it keeps crashing
[02:22] <lantizia> ah found the first one!
[02:23] <lantizia> oh and 2nd
[02:23] <[Adam|Linux]> I can't get quicksynergy to connect to my windows laptop as the server, does anyone know of alternate synergy clients?
[02:23] <lantizia> what odd names they have
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel
[02:23] <AegNuddel> Why are some Ubuntu cursors resizable and others one size only?
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> lantizia:  yep. the whole applet-thing needs some work..but witht he next generation of gnome.. it will proberly all be real different
[02:23] <ardchoille> AegNuddel: designed that way
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> AegNuddel:  some are diffrent file types i think, others are normal default X cursors.
[02:23] <lantizia> Dr_Willis, how different?
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> lantizia:  go check out gnome-shell   Its radically different
[02:24] <AegNuddel> ardchoille  I found a tutorial on how to make png ones but are the others svg or what?
[02:24] <ardchoille> lantizia: gnome 3.0 will use gnome-shell
[02:24] <lantizia> instead of gnome-panel?
[02:24] <ultraz> what does it mean when you blacklist a driver?
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> lantizia:  gnomeplanel is just 1 little program :)
[02:24] <ardchoille> lantizia: check out gnome-shell, it's in the repos, it's hard to explain but the whole ui is different
[02:24] <ardchoille> AegNuddel: no idea, I kinda gave up on making cursors
[02:25] <d4m0n> anyone...
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> lantizia:   theres proberly a dozen youtube videos of it also
[02:25] <AegNuddel> oh
[02:25] <AegNuddel> I want to try it
[02:25] <Guest695> I have tried it, and it is a little slow.
[02:25] <tvaughn> how do you enable restricted drivers with terminal?
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> AegNuddel: get some from the gnome-look sites and play with them
[02:26] <jenia> anyone here know how to successfully install the nvidia geforce 8800 gts 512 mb, two video card, please let me know
[02:26] <jenia> thanks in advance
[02:26] <d4m0n> Need help with grub2 not booting W7 after installing ubuntu on second drive
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> jenia:  for my nvidia system i just plugged both cards in, ran the hardware-driver tool and installed the video drivers then used gksudo vnidia-settings to tweak the cards
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> gksudo nvidia-settings
[02:27] <lantizia> Dr_Willis, no more compiz then? why am I so brilliantly excited :)
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> jenia:  but i got 1 onbopard nvidia, and one 8800gtsxxx
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> lantizia:  No idea. I find gnome-shell annoying
[02:27] <gribble_dd> is there any way to change ubuntu to require the root password rather than use sudo?
[02:27] <jeeez> amarok apart, what options do i have for music players with library?
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> gribble_dd:  You can create a root user password.
[02:27] <Guest695> I want to host users on a Ubuntu system, then login to there from another system, like windows server 2003 can host users to xp machines.
[02:27] <Guest695> Anyone know how
[02:27] <devilboy> hi all
[02:28] <lantizia> Dr_Willis, it looks a lot like HIldon which I'm used to on my N900
[02:28] <devilboy> I have a problem which I would like to be solved :P
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc | Guest695
[02:28] <gribble_dd> Dr_Willis, how would I get gksudo to use root?
[02:28] <Guest695> Banshee is a good music player
[02:28] <luigi_> is there a sofware like mouse commander to move mouse and click in automatic?
[02:28] <marcuy> Guest695, yes
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> gribble_dd:  gksudo is not using root its using sudo. thats not the same as what you asked.
[02:28] <jenia> i see, no me it keeps crashing terribly, anyone here know how to roll back the drivers from the consol, after it crashes?
[02:28] <d4m0n> thanks for nothing
[02:28] <gribble_dd> Dr_Willis, i'm just wanting the prompt to ask for root password rather than my own
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> d4m0n:  check the forums?
[02:29] <d4m0n> I have and can't find help, was pointd here
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> gribble_dd:  change the sudoers file perhaps. I ve never wanted to do that.
[02:29] <gribble_dd> i heard that using sudo is less secure
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> d4m0n:  i dont use win7 but see about 2 people a week ask about it in here. update-grub is supposed to see/add the proper entry
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> gribble_dd:  i think youve heard wrong
[02:29] <gribble_dd> okay
[02:29] <gribble_dd> thanks
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> gribble_dd:  the biggest danger to yoru sustem will proberly be YOU doing somthing to trash it. :)
[02:30] <devilboy> I'm running Windows 7 and I wanted to have Ubuntu 9.10, I have the CD here infront of me BUT, I tried to do the installation before (am not a newbie) and I had problems with grub. Anyone can give me his 5 minutes to explain more?
[02:30] <d4m0n> join the club devilboy
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> devilboy:  explain what more? grub isntalls a menu/bootloader to the MBR and should show all seen OS's and let you boot them
[02:31] <devilboy> d4m0n, you have the same problems?
[02:31] <sttal> can someone tell me the best drivers for ATI DX9 graphics card ??

[02:37] <devilboy> Matr|x. don't repeat
[02:37] <Matr|x> plz
[02:37] <Matr|x> ok
[02:37] <trineox> d4mon: in your menu.1st your got map them out  (hd0)(hd1) (hd1)(hd0)  let me check exactly a link for you
[02:37] <Matr|x> im sorry:$
[02:37] <FloodBot2> Matr|x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:37] <devilboy> let me see if I can
[02:37] <coolrave143> hi
[02:37] <Matr|x> ok
[02:37] <trineox> devilboy: you know about mapping  be awhile for me...i could check my sons pc he has two hd's :-)
[02:37] <coolrave143> i am trying to add iwconfig to initramfs.  but it doesnt work. i tried to build it using static option. still i get error /bin/sh: iwconfig: not found
[02:37] <ardchoille> nush: you need to put the x bit back onto the Pictures and Videos folders. chmod +x Pictures Videos
[02:38] <looksharp> W00t
[02:38] <trineox> d4m0n: mapping helps for grub to find the windows partition correctly
[02:38] <devilboy> Matr|x, I can't help you mate. I'm not so expert on these things.
[02:38] <ardchoille> nush: Did you do a "chmod -R" recently?
[02:38] <looksharp> owner privileges What does that mean
[02:38] <Spark2915> how do you enable mod_rewrite in apache
[02:38] <trineox> d4m0n: ill look at my sons mapping one sec
[02:38] <Matr|x> look devil
[02:38] <d4m0n> that menu.1st comes up blank??
[02:38] <Matr|x> i downloaded the file
[02:38] <Matr|x> tar.gz
[02:38] <devilboy> trineox, I use to install Ubuntu on one HD and do a partition :P It's more sexy for me.
[02:38] <trineox> d4m0n: ok one sec
[02:38] <Matr|x> i did tar -zxvf
[02:38] <nush> ardchoille, no i have not touched anything
[02:38] <Matr|x> and evry thing cool
[02:39] <nush> ardchoille, i had to hard poweroff a couple of times lately
[02:39] <trineox> devilboy: hehee....whatever floats your boat.
[02:39] <Matr|x> but i dont know the commands i install by
[02:39] <devilboy> Matr|x, let me see.
[02:39] <devilboy> Matr|x, What are you trying to install actually?
[02:39] <nush> ardchoille, also, if i cd into some of the directories, they are empty..
[02:39] <ardchoille> nush: why is your Music folder owned by root?
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> menu.lst is used by grub1 not grub2. and if the machine has 2 hard drives.. you COULD just keep grub on the linux drive.. and tell the bios to boot whatever hd/os you wanted
[02:39] <Matr|x> im trying to instll that http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/LWP-attic-1.00/lib/LWP/Socket.pm#___top
[02:39] <ardchoille> nush: you have some permissions issues
[02:39] <Matr|x> LWP-attic
[02:39] <Matr|x> cpan
[02:39] <Matr|x> perl modules
[02:39] <nush> ardchoille, this is on /media/sdb1 ( a different disk) i have Music Videos and what not on another disk
[02:40] <ardchoille> nush: ah, ok
[02:40] <nush> ardchoille, i think i have to run a file system check / fix
[02:41] <Matr|x> LWP::Socket - TCP/IP socket interface
[02:41] <nush> ardchoille, any advice regarding which steps to take? I am thinking of simply rebooting it and seeing what happens
[02:41] <devilboy> Matr|x, I'm not the one to help you right now. Try to search for your problem here in one line only.
[02:41] <Spark2915> I am running Ubuntu 9.10 as my web server. I am trying to install a CMS on it but it is telling me that mod_rewrite is not enabled. How do I enable that module to be used in apache? I have searched Google and I don't know which way is the best to use. Any pointers would be greatly welcomed.
[02:41] <ardchoille> nush: learn about file permissions settings
[02:41] <coreyman> I have an ubuntu iso, is there a way i can install it to other machines over the network?
[02:41] <ardchoille> !bash | nush
[02:41] <harleypig> -!- <Guilty> Pen, you're going to hae to give something up
[02:41] <harleypig> -!- <Guilty> You cant go to a gym and run geekissues.org
[02:42] <Matr|x> thx brother
[02:42] <ardchoille> !ot | harleypig
[02:42] <Matr|x> plz help i need to install lwp:socket modules and i cant
[02:42] <nush> ardchoille, i know about chmod and what not. but if i cd into directories, there are files missing (invisible or what not)
[02:42] <nush> ardchoille, if i do a dmesg i get the following
[02:42] <ardchoille> !paste | nush
[02:42] <trineox> d4m0n: ill find a link he didnt have to be mapped out
[02:43] <nush> ardchoille, EXT3-fs error (device sdb1): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=5341400, block=10682376
[02:43] <d4m0n> ?
[02:43] <devilboy> I'm thinking in my world now.. To.. Try to install Ubuntu again or not :P
[02:43] <trineox> d4m0n: oh and you went to your root then /boot/grub/menu.1st is blank?
[02:44] <trism> Spark2915: see https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html the apache modules section describes how to enable modules
[02:44] <d4m0n> im not sure (noob) it did ask for pass
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> devilboy:  if yoyu have 2 hard drives. Ive often unplugged the windows one..installed linux. that kept grub on the linux HD.
[02:44] <trineox> devilboy: when you use two hard drives it gets tricky sometimes
[02:44] <nush> ardchoille, EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended
[02:44] <devilboy> let me answer to both of you something :D
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> devilboy:  then replugged in the windows hd. If all else fails i can tell the pc to boot the win hd if i need to. No grub needed
[02:44] <trineox> devilboy: my son's went fine but considering hes xp not windows 7 so who knows
[02:45] <jeeez> amarok doesn't play anything for me, some error messages if i run it from terminal, can someone help?
[02:45] <ardchoille> nush: I don't know much about file system checks, mine is set to do it automatically when needed
[02:45] <devilboy> Dr_Willis & trineox, thanks both of you from your comments. But something else, I'm not sure but while I was installing Ubuntu last night I think I did a partition on my external hard drive by mistake. Is that possible? That's why I couldn't see any grub menu?
[02:45] <trineox> dr_willis: if you want to unplugged or change the cmos everytime
[02:45] <d4m0n> well I was dual booting my w7 and a hacintosh (on same drive) for months np, but now ubuntu (on second drive) has installed the grub loader and nothing works but linix
[02:46] <nush> ardchoille, ya i dont' think it is a permissions issue :)
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> devilboy:  try unpluging the usb ghd. it may be trying to boot from it.
[02:46] <devilboy> Dr_Willis, I tried everything after that, and still nothing. And I just finished today from format and installing all back.
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> devilboy:  some days youjust got to buckle down and learn grub and grub2 and how bootloaders work..  I spent a few days playing with them all and reading the docs.
[02:47] <ardchoille> nush: well, the "?????????" is what happens when you remove the x bit from folders, so that is why I thought of a perms issue
[02:47] <devilboy> Dr_Willis, I knew and Know only grub ! I will search about grub2. Thanks
[02:47] <nush> okay i can try adding x bit
[02:47] <nush> chmod +x -R *
[02:47] <trineox> d4m0n: ok so i know that windows 7 is on the primary drive, and ubuntu is on the 2nd.
[02:48] <d4m0n> yea but for noobs like me who are told ubuntu is easy and freindly and can EASILy be installed along side Windows...that turns out to be a chore
[02:48] <trineox> d4m0n: brb with a possible answer, well its easy if its one drive, sometimes 2 drives dont go as easy, like said my sons did
[02:48] <d4m0n> ok thx
[02:48] <devilboy> d4m0n, am somehow newbie too :P don't worry you will love ubuntu :)
[02:49] <trineox> d4m0n: np
[02:49] <trineox> i hate windows lol
[02:49] <devilboy> same here
[02:49] <d4m0n> I do love it, I got it running amzingly
[02:49] <trineox> i love ubuntu, any debian based linux
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> I find it easier to keep grub on the linux hd. that way the window drive stays untouched
[02:49] <d4m0n> but I do love my crappy w7
[02:49] <jeeez> 'Object::connect: No such signal BrowserCategoryList::leavingTree()
[02:49] <jeeez> Object::connect:  (sender name:   'internet')' and a lot of other similat errors. how do i fix that?
[02:49] <devilboy> lol w7 ultimate
[02:49] <trineox> windows for me is for online gaming only
[02:49] <devilboy> same here
[02:49] <AegNuddel> ooh ladybug cursors
[02:49] <d4m0n> I need my itunes and, I haev to admit itr, its fast as hell
[02:49] <devilboy> and for my works with Adobe programs
[02:49] <tully> i only use windows for gaming, the rest is OSX and ubuntu
[02:50] <d4m0n> right now im on my wifes macbook
[02:50] <devilboy> d4m0n, I started using Ubuntu from release 8.04 and I'm addicted now but I can't have 9.10 cuz am a chicken now to try again :P
[02:50] <d4m0n> it seems fine to me
[02:50] <d4m0n> even the ati drivers (almost) seem as zippy as in windows
[02:51] <devilboy> I had problems with 9.04 with my ATI card.
[02:51] <Spark2915> trism, thanks i will check that
[02:51] <stevebuntu> is there supposed to be a dir called build in the kernal folder ?
[02:51] <d4m0n> last version I used, hardware accel (ati 4870) had screan tearing even on 2d window drag
[02:51] <devilboy> With 9.10 its better now I think
[02:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> Spark2915, ask here friend. If people don't know how to enable a mod in Apache2, then wait a while and ask again when more people are about.
[02:51] <InsaneMonkey02> Hey is this script written correctly? As in if I just copy and paste it will it work. #!/bin/bash
[02:51] <InsaneMonkey02> /usr/local/bin/revoco click
[02:52] <d4m0n> but now it looks great, compiz runs like butter (still some tearing) oh, and for some reasn vlc won't play 1080p files..
[02:52] <gabriel> joining
[02:52] <blakkheim> d4m0n: vlc isn't a very well-programmed video player, and only uses one cpu core instead of multiple
[02:52] <devilboy> d4m0n, step by step you will find out :D
[02:52] <Spark2915> SpaceGhostC2C, will do that
[02:52] <trism> SpaceGhostC2C: or he could just read the doc that I sent him that describes how...
[02:53] <d4m0n> blakkhiem, but it plays everything I throw at it
[02:53] <d4m0n> ...on windows
[02:53] <d4m0n> :(

[02:53] <trineox> d4m0n: still looking into it
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> Compiz has a 'sync to vsync' option somewhere. that can help tearing
[02:53] <d4m0n> thx trineox, I appreciate it
[02:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> trism, that's nice. Cool story bro. He shouldn't ask in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[02:53] <trism> SpaceGhostC2C: this is ubuntu support
[02:54] <trineox> devilboy: so far what i found is, for d4m0n to just reinstall grub by using live cd but...i think its a mapping problem
[02:54] <d4m0n> well I tried update-grub and got errors
[02:54] <devilboy> trineox, I tried to reinstall Ubuntu again from CD, and I couldn't solve anything.
[02:54] <blakkheim> "cool story bro" :/
[02:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> trism, someone sent him to #ubuntu-offtopic. Don't do that. Later.
[02:54] <devilboy> I don't know more guys...

[02:57] <listedaswanted> Hi how do I go about manually installing a button through Gnomenu?
[02:57] <AegNuddel> yay there's a good one
[02:57] <devilboy> psycho_oreos, greek bro?
[02:57] <psycho_oreos> devilboy, nope
[02:57] <AegNuddel> pink like the rest of my computer
[02:57] <gabriel> joining
[02:58] <arand> stevebuntu: define "arrow"..
[02:58] <stevebuntu> well there is a folder in lib/modules that has the folder kernel and initd
[02:58] <stevebuntu> it is a white arrow pointing up
[02:58] <stevebuntu> above the folder
[02:58] <listedaswanted> Hi how do I go about manually installing a button through Gnomenu? hmm maybe nobody here knows how to do it
[02:59] <stevebuntu> in /lib/modules/kernelXXXXX
[02:59] <neezer> does anyone here have any experience with WINE and starcraft.
[02:59] <psycho_oreos> stevebuntu, from ls -l output?
[03:00] <stevebuntu> in folder browser
[03:00] <stevebuntu> gui
[03:00] <stevebuntu> the reason i ask is i just updated the kernel to 32 to fix my wireless
[03:00] <listedaswanted> Hi how do I go about manually installing a button through Gnomenu anyone!!?!
[03:00] <psycho_oreos> stevebuntu, ahh was about to say it could be a link but not sure
[03:00] <InsaneMonkey02> Hey can someone help me with this tutorial? http://www.toosweettobesour.com/2009/05/13/logitech-mx-revolution-revoco-in-ubuntu-904-jaunty-click-to-click-even-after-a-resumewakeup/ When I run the scripts nothing happens.
[03:01] <arand> stevebuntu: For example, the "build" directory is a link (symlink), if you do  ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/build you'll see whare the link leads to..
[03:01] <gabriel> leaving
[03:01] <[Adam|Linux]> How would I go about getting a wifi driver (STA Broadcom) so I can put it on a thumbdrive to install?
[03:02] <devilboy> Dr_Willis, is it possible that I accidentally I installed Ubuntu on my 1TB External HD. Ubuntu recognize also external HD if it's connected thru USB ?
[03:02] <neezer> listedaswanted: are you talking about putting a shortcut button on the panel on the top of the desktop?
[03:02] <arand> stevebuntu: substituting the version number for the one relevant in your case (that was a command in terminal.
[03:02] <fwaokda> I'm getting 9+ hrs of battery life in windows 7 but only like 4 in Ubuntu... if I use a wubi install would that help?
[03:02] <psycho_oreos> [Adam|Linux], you can't without grabbing all its dependencies
[03:02] <stevebuntu> ok i get it the problem im having seem to be related to that "build" folder not located in the new kernel folder in/lib/modules
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> devilboy:  possible i guess.. I always manually partion so i know whats going where
[03:02] <arand> stevebuntu: or simply look at the properties of it in the file browser, and it should say that it's a link and where it leads
[03:03] <listedaswanted> neezer yeah at the bottom bar, I have gnomenu installed but when trying to install the theme via the compressed file it cannot do it and says to install the icon manually
[03:03] <[Adam|Linux]> psycho_oreos: I have another similar ubuntu laptop, is it possible to maybe copy the install of that driver or something?
[03:03] <psycho_oreos> [Adam|Linux], same kernel version? probably, but I wouldn't recommend it
[03:03] <stevebuntu> do i need to recreate the symlinlk in the new folder ?
[03:04] <devilboy> Dr_Willis, good for you but I have 1-2 years to use ubuntu and I forgot many. My last Ubuntu was 8.04 LTS. After that, I had problems with my ATI card so I removed.
[03:04] <arand> stevebuntu: do you have the corresponding "link-target" in /usr/src ?
[03:05] <neezer> listedaswanted: what icon are you trying to put there?\
[03:06] <stevebuntu> nope there is a gz folder in there with the correctname
[03:06] <listedaswanted> neezer this one: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/gnomenu-buttons-gt5?content=94044
[03:07] <devilboy> Good Night Dr_Willis, trineox, d4m0n :) here is 05:07am.
[03:07] <arand> stevebuntu: I'm not quite sure how to go about fixing it though, that seems like the kernel hasn't been installed properly, in what way did you install it?
[03:07] <InsaneMonkey02> Can someone please help me with getting these scripts right?
[03:08] <stevebuntu> i licated a .deb file from kernels website and just doubleclicked it
[03:08] <stevebuntu> located
[03:08] <Moat> I'm tryna run a program but it won't work, it gives me this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3df8a41 can anyone help?
[03:08] <neezer> listedaswanted: i'm sorry. I'm not familliar with that. I thought you just wanted to put a shortcut on the bar from an application that you loaded a lot.
[03:08] <[Adam|Linux]> Hmm...Is it maybe possible to set up a network bridge in my old ubuntu laptop?
[03:08] <trineox> nite devilboy
[03:08] <psycho_oreos> Moat, you need wine for that
[03:09] <trineox> sorry helping d4m0n devilboy :-)
[03:09] <Moat> where do i get wine?
[03:09] <InsaneMonkey02> Can someone please help me get this right? http://www.toosweettobesour.com/2009/05/13/logitech-mx-revolution-revoco-in-ubuntu-904-jaunty-click-to-click-even-after-a-resumewakeup/ It's not working for me.
[03:09] <psycho_oreos> !wine | Moat
[03:09] <listedaswanted> neezer well then how would i go about changing an icon at the top bar? When i tried browsing for an icon it wouldnt let me see the .pngs
[03:11] <InsaneMonkey02> Can anyone help me run these scripts correctly?
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  whats the exact problem you are having?
[03:11] <duckwars> what is the equivalent of "gnome-session" in xubuntu?
[03:11] <neezer> listedaswanted: you might try opening them with gimp and saving them as a jpeg or something. I'm sure others know know how to change those icons, but I don't. sorry.
[03:11] <Fwarness> I'm looking to reduce my installation size by alot any suggestions?
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  it seems rather clear.. but i dont know if it actually works :)
[03:12] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: When I do the chmod line in the terminal, nothing happens.
[03:12] <listedaswanted> neezer how can I get permission to put a file into the file system? I dont have permission to do that
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> Fwarness:  remove openoffice for stgarters
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  do a ls -l file and see what the moded are
[03:12] <neezer> use the sudo command via command line.
[03:12] <InsaneMonkey02> I did use sudo.
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  if  chmod sucedes then it dosent report anything thats normal
[03:13] <duckwars> what is the equivalent of the "gnome-session" command in xubuntu?
[03:13] <Dr_Willis>  vi foofile
[03:13] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: What's ls -l?
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> chmod +x foofile
[03:13] <neezer> listedaswanted: hmmmm what file are you trying to add to?
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  if you dont know that basic of a linux command. I suggest spending some time reading a few shell tutorials.
[03:13] <listedaswanted> neezer its that icon package, i figured out where i need to put it
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> ls -l filename
[03:14] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: I can't really spend more time reading tutorials if my mouse doesn't work correctly.
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  im not going to teach you bash from ground zero
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> if you did the chmod command properly then the ls -l whteverfle  will show it as executable
[03:14] <duckwars> pleezzzeeee how do i start desktop environment in xubuntu? I know this isn't the xubuntu channel, but I know someone knows
[03:14] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: You don't need to. I just would like to get my mouse working right.
[03:14] <neezer> listedaswanted: hmmm where is the file located right now?
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> sudo gedit /etc/init.d/revoco
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> copy the lines it says to the file. save....
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> sudo chmode +x /etc/init.d/revoco
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> oops no e  :)
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/revoco
[03:15] <listedaswanted> neezer its in home/downloads and i need to put it in usr/share/gnomenu/themes/button
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> the guide dont mention the sudo. but it should be used.
[03:17] <neezer> listedaswanted: go to the directory that has the file in it, and try sudo mv "filename" /usr/share/gnomenu/themes/button
[03:17] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: I did all of that and it didn't work. The middle mouse button still switches back and forth.
[03:18] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  no idea on if it works or not.. im just explaining what the guide says.
[03:18] <jeeez> how do i make apt-get show list of available updates in terminal?
[03:18] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  after doing all the changes a reboot is proberly required
[03:18] <stevebuntu> how to i revert back to an older kernel ?
[03:18] <VCoolio> jeeez: aptitude search "~U"
[03:18] <jeeez> VCoolio: thanks
[03:18] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  you did install revoco ?
[03:19] <apahsia> can someone tell me the best way to run an xfce session with compiz enabled
[03:19] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: I downloaded it, extracted it, went in the terminal and did a make, and then I followed the tutorial.
[03:19] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  be sure its in /usr/local/bin
[03:19] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  try running the command by hand
[03:20] <Dr_Willis>  /usr/local/bin/revoco click
[03:20] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: The files will be in bin and then make it?
[03:20] <arand> stevebuntu: hold down shift when booting and you'll get to the menu to choose kernel version, provided you have it installed.
[03:20] <apahsia> ?
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  /usr/local/bin perhaps.
[03:20] <Crewsr3> I'm transferring large amounts of data from a hard drive to a local server and I want to make sure that the data gets there.  I thought about using grsync but it doesn't play well with network drives.  Any ideas on how I can transfer this data and do a check sum in the process.
[03:20] <apahsia> ?
[03:20] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: I just made it in the Downloads folder. Would that matter?
[03:20] <steelsteve> I need help here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8853739
[03:20] <stevebuntu> thanks brb
[03:21] <socratesthekid> so will unetbootin not make a liveusb of windows?
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:   the source compiles and INSTALLS to the proper location. where you downloaded the soruce to dosent matter
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> socratesthekid:  it will not do windows
[03:22] <apahsia> ?
[03:22] <socratesthekid> Dr_Willis, well, that would explain the past several hours of complete uselessness
[03:22] <Dr_Willis> apahsia:  use compiz --replace after loging into xfce
[03:22] <Dr_Willis> socratesthekid:  i dont think the docs/menus/guides for unetbootin ever mention that it can do windows to usb
[03:22] <vistro> I booted a live usb stick and I can't do anything, it says there is no space left on the device
[03:22] <Dr_Willis> that wouldbe a neat trick
[03:22] <apahsia> where Dr. willis.....in CCSM
[03:22] <vistro> cant apt-get like I normally can
[03:22] <Dr_Willis> apahsia:  in the command line
[03:23] <apahsia> oh, k
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> 'compiz --replace'
[03:23] <apahsia> no sudo needed?
[03:23] <socratesthekid> as much as i dont want to, i need to get windows xp onto a netbook... what software can i use to make a usb installer for it?
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> err no
[03:23] <vistro> can anybody help?
[03:23] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: It still doesn't even work.
[03:23] <apahsia> thanks doc
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> socratesthekid: tools exist for that.. google or see #windows
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  does the command line ommand work is question #1
[03:24] <soreau> Dr_Willis: You don't need --replace, compiz will suffice.  I'm from the bugsquad and I researching a bug about it
[03:26] <steelsteve> has anyone looked at my problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8853739)
[03:26] <soreau> Dr_Willis: but since on debian based systems like ubuntu, compiz is really compiz-manager, a script that appends --replace and some other necessary options depending on the detected setup
[03:26] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: Didn't it go in the script, not terminal?
[03:26] <pilif12p> Just curious, shouldn't the option to open gimp just say "GIMP" Not "GIMP Image editor" ? GIMP stands for "Gnu Image Manipulation Program" "Gnu Image Manipulation Program Image Editor" makes no sense. really
[03:26] <steelsteve> I am extremely limited on my explanations
[03:26] <stevebuntu> where would i uninstall it ?
[03:27] <firekool> apt-get remove [name of package here]
[03:27] <soreau> Dr_Willis: While it doesn't hurt to add --replace, see the output of 'ps ax|grep compiz.real|grep -v grep' after running compiz --repalce on ubuntu. It will have two '--replace' arguments
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  you are TESTING the command to see if it even works . so try it from the terminal. If the command dosent work there.. its not going to work anywere i imagine
[03:27] <stevebuntu> apt get will remove a kernel?
[03:27] <vistro> I can't run anything from a live usb sick
[03:28] <nanotube> is there any way to change webcam video resolution that empathy uses? currently there appears to be no way to change anything (unlike say, ekiga, where you can choose the devices it uses and all that good stuff).
[03:28] <firekool> stevebuntu:  why do you want to remove the kernal?
[03:28] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: Doing chmod +x /etc/init.d/revoco doesn't give me any errors.
[03:28] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: sudo at the beggining too.
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  yes.. but thats NOT the actual command to test the revco program.
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  thats just making the script executable
[03:29] <arand> steelsteve: I have no idea, but just as a note, in here, you might want to mention the problem type in a few words as well along with the link (e.g. "problem using facebook")
[03:29] <stevebuntu> i tried to update to 2 6 32 to fix wireless issues but it didn't go so well :)
[03:29] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: How do I run it then?
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  for the 4th time RUN the command --->    /usr/local/bin/revoco click
[03:29] <arand> steelsteve: yes, or use synaptic.
[03:29] <steelsteve> ?
[03:29] <stevebuntu> i think he ment me
[03:29] <steelsteve> yeah
[03:29] <arand> stevebuntu: what was the exact name of the package you installed
[03:30] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: How do I run it? >_> Just type /usr/local/bin/revoco click in the terminal?
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  YES
[03:30] <firekool> arand he updated the kernal.
[03:30] <arand> steelsteve: yea, sorry for confusion, too many steeves :)
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  now we are getting back to 'bash basics'
[03:30] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: Hey it worked.
[03:31] <steelsteve> arand: it's easy to see the diffrence, ste are the only letters the same
[03:31] <listedaswanted> thanks neezer got it going :)
[03:31] <steelsteve> I do that on purpose
[03:31] <stevebuntu> 2.6.32-020632-generic
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  you could just make a launcher that runs that command and click on it to set it  on  i guess. if youw anted
[03:31] <vistro> Can anybody help with a livecd problem?
[03:31] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: Could I make it do that automatically at start up?
[03:32] <firekool> vistro: just ask the question if someone can answer it they will.
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  yes.

[03:34] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: Ok, I going to restart to see if it works.

[03:35] <arand> stevebuntu: Where from did you install it?
[03:36] <vistro> I have too. But it just hates me today. My official cd didn't boot, the flash drive didn't boot the first time, put the x64 os on it, and it took forever to boot, and once it booted, it won't let me do very much.
[03:36] <stevebuntu> um kernel repository site

[03:38] <MrAlexandro> hi. what way should i partition my drive for latest ubuntu, ext3? or what is the best one..
[03:38] <Sky35> MrAlexandro: I would go with ext4
[03:38] <stevebuntu> i don't see the kernel listed in synaptic
[03:38] <trism> Pirate_Hunter: that is your x server, if you stop it, your desktop is gone
[03:39] <MrAlexandro> Sky35: thanks. will do. isnt that supposed to be better than ext3 right. i have read so, but i can not understand why:p
[03:39] <firekool> Pirate_Hunter: that looks like gnome
[03:40] <xtjacob> hello everyone
[03:40] <Pirate_Hunter> firekool, trism: hmmm weird it shouldnt take that much cpu I aint even running a vm yet
[03:40] <xtjacob> i keep getting the error: "libsqlite3-dev: Depends: libsqlite3-0 (= 3.6.16-1ubuntu1) but 3.6.16-1ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> is to be installed" how can i fix this?
[03:42] <firekool> xtjacob: what application are you trying to install?
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  horray for guides :) of course in the next release of ubuntu that stuff proberly will be totally diffrent.. but thats life
[03:42] <brand0n> how do i change mousewheel speed ?
[03:42] <brand0n> its really fast for some reason

[03:43] <Sky35> How come I can't access my smb shares that are from a mounted partition?
[03:43] <firekool> xtjacob: How are you installing that application?
[03:43] <xtjacob> firekool: "sudo apt-get install", and i tried synaptic
[03:44] <Dr_Willis> InsaneMonkey02:  check out http://www.hidpoint.com/  for a more customizeable config tool
[03:44] <InsaneMonkey02> Dr_Willis: Hey thanks.
[03:44] <Dr_Willis> I sence a bot attack
[03:44] <firekool> xtjacob: try apt-get update then try to install again.

[03:44] <blakkheim> lol
[03:45] <arand> stevebuntu: Was it something like here you got it from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/
[03:45] <xtjacob> firekool: no change
[03:45] <MrAlexandro> d'''m!! it would be so much better if you could just install a software to a usb stick to make it bootable. and that was it!. then just drag whateever iso you would want into it. of course. never that easy....
[03:46] <firekool> xtjacob: Could be a out of date package.
[03:46] <firekool> xtjacob: The application may be dieing.
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> MrAlexandro:  i got a usb set up with grub2 where i just copy an iso to it and  give it a specific name and grub2 tries to boot the iso
[03:46] <xtjacob> firekool: could it be a ppa?
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> MrAlexandro:  but differnt disrtos require different arguments in grub to do that
[03:47] <brand0n> when i scroll in any window
[03:47] <brand0n> how do i change mousewheel speed ?
[03:47] <MrAlexandro> Dr_Willis: i see. still you are way ahead of me:D
[03:47] <nwidger> hey guys, can someone go to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227393 and tell me if they can load the rebate PDF?
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> i got a ubuntu-variants usb flash with 4 diffrent ubuntus. if i want to try a new one .  i copy it over. rename it test.iso and try it out
[03:49] <Sky35> How do you give samba permission to access a partition?
[03:49] <MrAlexandro> nice. that is awesome. but what if you lets say wanted to boot a osx distro or a windows distro disc. you would have to use the grub in mbr to be able to use that flash stick you got right?
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> MrAlexandro:  each ISo disrot HAS to support the booing from ISO file feature.
[03:50] <firekool> brand0n: Might want to check mouse under system preferences
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> MrAlexandro:  they do with with a specific option/argument you have grub pass to them
[03:50] <MrAlexandro> gotcha, still neat:)
[03:50] <brand0n> firekool, tried that
[03:50] <brand0n> no option for mousescroll speed
[03:50] <firekool> Duno if there is a option then.
[03:51] <firekool> If there is it would be in the config files
[03:51] <xtjacob> firekool: i would think sqlite would be too big to die
[03:51] <Dr_Willis> firekool:  if its a logitech mouse tr ->> http://www.hidpoint.com/
[03:51] <Dr_Willis> perhaps
[03:51] <firekool> xtjacob: I do not know much about the application so I would not be able to say for shure.
[03:52] <stevebuntu> arand, nope
[03:52] <xtjacob> firekool: ok thanks for your help
[03:54] <stevebuntu> i take that back that was it
[03:54] <listedaswanted> howcome i cant change icons in the menus to custom ones? I go into the folder with the icons but cant see them
[03:54] <arand> stevebuntu: and which of the packages there did you install?
[03:55] <stevebuntu> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/linux-headers-2.6.32-020632_2.6.32-020632_all.deb
[03:59] <Lee_Stop> question about motherboards - how do you know what CPU supports your motherboard, I have an older PC it has a socket-775, I just dont know if I can use dual-core on it
[03:59] <Lee_Stop> right now it has a celeron
[03:59] <grndslm> Lee_Stop, yes, socket775 can use dual-core.  google your motherboard manufacturer's website and download the manual for your mobo!
[04:00] <raul_> I downloaded a movie (.rmvb)... how can I make a DVD?
[04:00] <Lee_Stop> grndslm its a dell optiplex gx520 information I find on it is that is uses a celeron or pentium 4
[04:00] <grndslm> Lee_Stop, like i said... you need to focus on the mobo
[04:00] <grndslm> what's the mobo #?
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> raul_:  try devede  yoy may need to convert it to some other format first however
[04:01] <raul_> Dr_Willis which format?
[04:01] <raul_> Dr_Willis .iso?
[04:01] <Lee_Stop> grndslm: its a dell when i lshw in the command it just gives me a part number
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> raul_:  no idea proberly any.. rvmb is the odball
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> raul_:  NOT iso.. thats what devede does
[04:02] <grndslm> Lee_Stop, you might need to look at the mobo
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> raul_:  you take a video file. devede generates a dvd video formated video and menu - and makes an dvd.iso file you then burn
[04:02] <grndslm> i'm using Devede right now  :D
[04:03] <Lee_Stop> grndslm: This is the motherboard - product: 0X7841
[04:03] <Lee_Stop> grndslm: Doesn't give me a mobo name
[04:03] <grndslm> Lee_Stop, you read that off the mobo?
[04:03] <Lee_Stop> grndslm: no I lshw
[04:04] <grndslm> Lee_Stop,  there are part numbers all over the mobo... google them until you find the one you know to be the mobo
[04:04] <Lee_Stop> grndslm: ok
[04:05] <Nikyo> Hello.. are some Windows Managers better, in regards to laptop power management / battery consumption ?
[04:05] <cbojar> hi, i have a question about ureadahead. can anyone help?
[04:05] <raul_> I have tried to download the "devede", but Ubuntu says that it is not possible to download it because I have to download not trusted package
[04:06] <grndslm> Nikyo, no WM is better than any WM when it comes to "power management /btatery consumption"
[04:06] <Nautilus> in the package manager, when Im' removing things, what does it mean when the item is highlighted in red bg?
[04:06] <psycho_oreos> Nautilus, I think they're dependencies
[04:06] <Nikyo> grndslm: Thank You.. just wondering..
[04:07] <grndslm> Nikyo, I couldn't imagine that there'd be enough to make that much of a difference... when it comes to WMs, you pick the one that is most usable for you
[04:07] <stevebuntu> arand, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/linux-source-2.6.32_2.6.32-020632_all.deb
[04:08] <firekool> Nikyo: In short yes but that is only due to requirements to some windows manager or another
[04:08] <Nautilus> gah, theres even 2 different reds
[04:08] <vistro> "unsupported cap regs version"
[04:09] <frontendloader> is there any way to disable auto-away in empathy? the empathy FAQ says "missing documentation"
[04:09] <Nautilus> psycho_oreos: I kind of guessed that but wonder if it means theres more I have to remove, or that it's going to remove them, etc
[04:09] <Nikyo> firekool, I think I experiment with xfce, thanks
[04:10] <arand> stevebuntu: ok, that is the source code  you've installed, not the actual bootable images, you want the -image and -headers packages instead (i386 for 32bit and amd64 for 64bit)
[04:10] <psycho_oreos> Nautilus, I'm thinking it might get removed, those dependencies, try hitting apply and see what it says
[04:10] <Nautilus> psycho_oreos: ahyea it says it will remove 6 packages. I think it put in like 21 :(
[04:11] <Nautilus> err, 3 not 6
[04:11] <stevebuntu> will they both run automatically
[04:11] <psycho_oreos> Nautilus, seems like its keeping those deps
[04:11] <stevebuntu> i sound like a winblows guy don't i :)
[04:11] <jake47> how do i make  a password for root in terminal
[04:12] <ardchoille> jake47: you don
[04:12] <ardchoille> t
[04:12] <ardchoille> !root | jake47
[04:13] <cbojar> hi, i have a question about ureadahead. can anyone help?
[04:13] <ardchoille> jake47: Keep your root account locked, it's more secure
[04:14] <jake47> i want to use gui to see whats in the root folder
[04:14] <jake47> how do i read the root folder in the ubuntu gui
[04:14] <ardchoille> jake47: use "gksudo nautilus"  but be very careful with that
[04:15] <jake47> how do i read the root folder in the ubuntu gui default install no extras
[04:15] <ardchoille> jake47: use "gksudo nautilus"  but be very careful with that
[04:15] <jake47> anyone know?
[04:16] <ardchoille> jake47: I have answered your question twice
[04:16] <Dr_Willis> jake47:  its best to do root stuff in the termial
[04:16] <jake47> sir thats nothing but trouble
[04:16] <stevebuntu> type gksudo nautilus into terminal
[04:16] <jake47> thanks though for helping
[04:16] <Dr_Willis> jake47:  sudo ls -l /root/
[04:16] <techhelper1> that is the default
[04:16] <deostroll> hi how do i take snapshot of a window...?
[04:16] <Dr_Willis> jake47:  or change the permissions on /root/ and browse it as a normal user
[04:16] <deostroll> will alt + prntScreen do?
[04:17] <Nautilus> hm, Handbrake has a download that says Ubuntu 9/10 but I'm on 8/04, should that work? Or maybe I need to look in a different repository with Synaptic?
[04:17] <ardchoille> Nautilus: I found that the current handbrake download didn't work on 9.04,only on 9.10
[04:17] <Nautilus> dang
[04:18] <Dr_Willis> Nautilus:  handbrake on linux is a relatively new project
[04:18] <Dr_Willis> Hmm I had handbrake working on 9.04 here.
[04:18] <saganbyte> Hello :) I just installed a package called gimpsoft using a .deb file... but somehow i m not able to see where it is... its not in the apps>graphics menu...
[04:18] <Nautilus> i've tried multi ways just to rip a dang dvd (3.5 mins worth)
[04:18] <Dr_Willis> Nautilus:  rip and encode to video ?
[04:18] <Nautilus> yea
[04:18] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: yeah, the older handbrake worked on 9.04, it was recently updated
[04:18] <Nautilus> well, like .mp4?
[04:18] <Dr_Willis> Nautilus:  k9copy, dvdrip, other ways...
[04:19] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  ok. Ive not tried it in a few weeks :)
[04:19] <Nautilus> yea I keep trying 'other ways'
[04:19] <stevebuntu> where again is the grub config to change what kernel is default ?
[04:19] <randomusr> Hello. I'm trying to figure out why I can't get HDMI from my nVidia GT 220 to my TV, Despite having the nvidia proprietary driver installed. Can someone help with this?
[04:19] <Nautilus> dramz: is handbrake a windows based project?
[04:19] <airtonix> !info handbrake
[04:19] <Dr_Willis> handbrake was a OS-X , then got ported to wndows and linux I belive the homepage says
[04:19] <Nautilus> ag
[04:20] <arand> stevebuntu: installing those 3 packages should update the boot list and set the new version as the default boot entry, if you want you could uninstall the source package since I think you won't be using it (unless you want to start coding on the kernel code....)
[04:20] <Nautilus> err, 'ah'
[04:20] <airtonix> -_-
[04:20] <ardchoille> Nautilus: there is a linux client download for handbrake
[04:20] <randomusr> !hdmi
[04:20] <stevebuntu> 3 packages ?
[04:20] <randomusr> !info hdmi
[04:20] <Nautilus> ard1an: from the handbrake page you mean? That says its for Ubuntu 9.10 deb
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> Nautilus:  see if they got archive of older versions
[04:21] <Nautilus> ok
[04:21] <randomusr> anyway, would someone help me determine why I can't get HDMO?
[04:21] <randomusr> HDMI even

[04:38] <randomusr> supremearyal:  that doesn't let me change the size of anything really
[04:38] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: not tried that - I'll put it on the list
[04:38] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: I love gorgonzolla and port wine

[04:38] <Tacoma> how can i modify open office windows shape and color from source code??
[04:39] <Blue1> Tacoma: carefully.
[04:39] <Dr_Willis> Tacoma:  good luck with that...
[04:39] <Dr_Willis> Sounds like someone has more time on their hands then they need... :P
[04:39] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: indeed
[04:39] <Tacoma> No suggestion, links, any thing...
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> Tobarja:  Openoffice homepage/channels
[04:40] <Blue1> Tacoma: I would NOT try that...
[04:40] <supremearyal> Tacoma: look at the code for various openoffice.org themes in the repos
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> openoffice has themes?
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> heh
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> now all it needs is a good wordproc3essor
[04:41] <Tacoma> No all ots need is a good interface for windows user to use it and for us...
[04:41] <randomusr> If I switch from SGVA to DVI, am I going to have any better luck getting the font size/icon size/ etc that I want?
[04:42] <supremearyal> Tacoma: only icon themes
[04:42] <Tacoma> Yes and the apperance..
[04:42] <Blue1> randomusr: what are you try to do?
[04:43] <randomusr> bummer
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> randomusr:  once i switched to DVI the picture was so much better.. i NEVER want to use vga again
[04:43] <Tacoma> I studied several subjects about that and Open Office lack several things in the design
[04:43] <Blue1> Tacoma: it does everything I need it to.
[04:43] <Tacoma> better design will increase the users..
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> randomusr:  ive told dozens of people at work.. if you can use DVI then USE dvi..
[04:43] <Blue1> i use abiword 95% of the time -
[04:44] <Tacoma> It does for you but not for all..
[04:44] <randomusr> Blue1 my eyes hurt from trying to make out the words on the screen and the icons and menu bars are tiny on this 52 inch screen
[04:44] <Blue1> randomusr: have you tried changing to screensize?
[04:44] <supremearyal> randomusr: font size,icon size can all be configured from gnome-appearence-settings
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> randomusr:  ICK. i would definatly use dvi if the sytem supports it
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> I got a system i use Svideo out on to a tv :) set the fonts REAL big to be able to read them
[04:45] <randomusr> Blue1, no only the resolution which doesn't work very well.
[04:45] <randomusr> supremearyal, I've looked there and can't find it
[04:46] <randomusr> hehehe, maybe I should have the Best Buy home theatre team try to fix it. lmfao
[04:46] <rolandixor> hi
[04:46] <supremearyal> randomusr: does changing the font size under the "Fonts" tab not work?
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> appearance perferances -> fonts tab
[04:46] <rolandixor> svideo + ati?
[04:46] <Blue1> randomusr: have you tried decreasing the resolution, what is it set to now?
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> rolandixor:  nvidia :)   ophhhhht to ati
[04:47] <rolandixor> ok
[04:47] <Tacoma> well, see you guys in another time...
[04:47] <Tacoma> good bye...
[04:47] <PeterT> hehe, this channel is still active at 11:47 PM
[04:47] <PeterT> EST
[04:47] <Nautilus> its early
[04:47] <rolandixor> lol Nautilus uses IRC?
[04:47] <rolandixor> cool!!!
[04:48] <Blue1> randomusr: hint -- System/Preferences/Display
[04:48] <Nautilus> rolandixor: just your friendly neighborhood cephalopod
[04:49] <randomusr> Blue1, I have changed the font despite I can't see the result in xchat
[04:49] <arundracula> System freezing problem. How to troubleshoot?
[04:49] <rolandixor> k it's 12:49 here
[04:49] <rolandixor> I'll be back some time
[04:49] <xuqin> hi
[04:49] <Blue1> randomusr: no I asked what you're resolution was set to --
[04:49] <randomusr> the resolution is something like 1920x1080 i think
[04:49] <supremearyal> randomusr: xchat font settings are configured in xchat itself, not from gnome-appearance-settings
