[02:43] <Budda> `Nick: just download the iso and burn to a cd
[02:43] <`Nick> daan: ok
[02:43] <lousygarua> braddcadd: if it's on link time you might not link to libglade it properly
[02:44] <Bothered> Does anyone know of a good alarm clock program?
[02:44] <welemski> daan: I still have 15G free space
[02:44] <daan> welemski: what kind of filesystem is on there now?
[02:44] <Budda> anybody running a upnp server on their ubuntu box? if so, what are they using/.
[02:44] <welemski> daan: ext3
[02:44] <bruenig> !cron | Bothered
[02:44] <ubotu> Bothered: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[02:44] <`Nick> Budda: yea, that's how i got the 7 liveCDs i have =p
[02:44] <n2diy> Bothered: I use Korganizer
[02:44] <daan> welemski: I guess you can just go ahead then with gparted
[02:44] <welemski> daan: thanks
[02:44] <`Nick> daan: i have to keep formatting the hd every time the install fails [7 times so far]
[02:45] <daan> welemski: I recommend the livecd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[02:45] <Bothered> n2diy: I use GNOME.
[02:45] <daan> welemski: That way ubuntu can't get in the way
[02:45] <n2diy> Bothered: So do I.
[02:45] <welemski> daan: I already install gparted so you say I have to use the live cd?
[02:45] <`Nick> daan: could low battery be a potential issue?
[02:45] <Bothered> n2diy: Does Korganiser work ok in gnome?
[02:45] <dayz> hey
[02:45] <dayz> whats up everyone?
[02:45] <`Nick> daan: as in issue that would mess up the install
[02:45] <bruenig> Bothered, gnome is lowercase, write a cronjob
[02:45] <daan> welemski: you don't have to it's just a little bit saver
[02:45] <n2diy> Bothered: Yep.
[02:45] <braddcadd> lousygarua: i think libglade has a different name, fixing the name in the compile should do the trick
[02:46] <daan> `Nick: don't think so
[02:46] <`Nick> daan: idk then
[02:46] <braddcadd> grego_,   did the link help you?
[02:46] <lousygarua> braddcadd: sounds reasonable, tell me if u fix it
[02:46] <daan> `Nick: I'd say try it with the livecd
[02:46] <`Nick> daan: alright
[02:46] <`Nick> brb
[02:46] <braddcadd> grego_: i just fought the roll-your-own-deb-for-a-newbie battle
[02:47] <intelikey> anyone care to guess at why upgrading the binary kernel left the system unbootable.  'i already know that it built an unusable initrd.img'  and i think i know it's because the module dependancies is hosed,  but that's as far as i can get at unraveling it  ???
[02:47] <grego_> braddcadd: im not a 100% noob in deb packages
[02:48] <grego_> braddcadd: it doesnt help me =/
[02:48] <welemski> daan: it's ok to use gparted in my gnome?
[02:48] <intelikey> ok guys.  the security updates had a new version of the 2.5.15-28 kernel so i updated   "spent 3 hours downloading it." it's the same version so it doesn't make a new /lib/modules/dir  and for some reason depmod fails and therefore the initramfs.img installed over the top of the old one is not usable. end result 'system is now unbootable'   what now ?
[02:48] <mrunagi> anyone use dial up over bluetooth with their sprint phone?
[02:48] <grego_> braddcadd: i have been created deb packages from adobe software and others
[02:48] <braddcadd> grego_: ok, your above my head already
[02:49] <daan> welemski: sure
[02:49] <braddcadd> grego_, I've been working on a GUI for epm (opensource), it should help newb's like me
[02:49] <Veinor> Why is it that when I go into System Monitor and click on the 'file systems' tab, it says I have 1.9GB free but only 900MB available? what's the other gig doing?
[02:49] <Budda> anybody running a upnp server on their ubuntu box? if so, what are they using?
[02:49] <grego_> braddcadd: oh, i understand
[02:49] <grego_> braddcadd: do you have msn ?
[02:50] <braddcadd> grego_, what problem are you running into? (as if i can help)
[02:50] <intelikey> Veinor reserved
[02:50] <grego_> braddcadd: even jabber ?
[02:50] <Veinor> and on another hard drive, it says 72.1GB vs 68.4 GB
[02:50] <braddcadd> grego_, yes both
[02:50] <grego_> braddcadd: can you send it in pvt ?
[02:50] <Veinor> intelikey: is there any way to de-reserve that space?
[02:50] <dingus9> any one installed the nvidia driver? or have a good howto?
[02:50] <intelikey> Veinor tune2fs
[02:50] <daan> welemski: be sure to unmount all partitions though
[02:50] <daan> welemski: on that drive
[02:50] <`Nick> back
[02:51] <welemski> daan: i don't understand, my file system is ext3 but when I resize using gparted it uses the command e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sdc1 and untill now still in progress
[02:51] <daan> welemski: that is ok
[02:51] <braddcadd> grego_, did you get in the private channel?
[02:51] <daan> welemski: wait for it to finish
[02:51] <grego_> braddcadd: yes and i have already reply
[02:51] <intelikey> welemski ext3 == ext2 plus a journel
[02:52] <daan> welemski: it's checking the filesystem for errors
[02:52] <welemski> daan: btw is resize2fs required?
[02:52] <Veinor> intelikey: do i have to unmount the filesystem before I do that?
[02:52] <daan> welemski: what do you think it does? :)
[02:52] <daan> welemski: it is required
[02:52] <intelikey> Veinor don't have to but it would be better if it was at least ro
[02:52] <braddcadd> grego_, hmm i can;t see it
[02:52] <braddcadd> grego_, haha, ima irc newb too
[02:53] <welemski> daan: i'm glad... i installed it a while ago...
[02:53] <intelikey> Veinor if it's you root fs better to use a live cd for that
[02:54] <intelikey> so can someone help me boot the unbootable ?
[02:54] <daan> welemski: hope it all works ok
[02:54] <welemski> daan: the resize is done and is checking for errors now... :D
[02:54] <shadou> how do i find out if drivers for my modem is installed?
[02:54] <intelikey> stinking binary kernels that depend on initrd for fs support anyway
[02:54] <`Nick> daan: so gparted is like an alternate ubuntu installer?
[02:55] <intelikey> !modem > shadou
[02:55] <shadou> !modem
[02:55] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[02:55] <daan> `Nick: no it is a harddrive partitioning program
[02:55] <daan> welemski: good :)
[02:55] <`Nick> oh i knew that haha
[02:55] <iZen> im having some issues with frame rate drop on my WoW install. Im running in direct x still but when I switch to OpenGL i receive a message saying i dont have direct 3d support. with direct x i can log in and see everything but cant even move
[02:56] <welemski> daan: operations successfully completed
[02:56] <daan> welemski: sounds good
[02:56] <Veinor> intelikeys: what's the downside of doing that? or are there any?
[02:56] <welemski> daan:  very... :D
[02:56] <daan> welemski: now you can make a fat in the free space if you haven't done so
[02:56] <Veinor> intelikey: i mean of de-reserving space
[02:56] <welemski> daan: i will
[02:57] <NemesisD> can anyone tell me why sometimes samba will just not show any windows computers on the network? I think it may be solved by rebooting my linux system but id rather not
[02:57] <welemski> no sweat... :D done
[02:57] <braddcadd> grego_, send me something through the ubuntu forums (same screename), i guess this irc thing isn't wokring
[02:57] <firebird611> Jordan_U: Could you help me again? I would like to get rid of the nvidia.com drivers and use the Restricted Drivers Manager again.
[02:57] <intelikey> Veinor if the disk is completely full you have trubble starting many things.   the reserved portion is for root's use so it's never bogged down.  although even if completely full you can still fix it from the console.
[02:58] <daan> welemski: I need to get some sleep now will you be ok?
[02:58] <grego_> braddcadd: send me you gtalk or msn in pvt ok ?
[02:58] <welemski> daan: yes.. thanks...
[02:58] <Veinor> intelikey: ah, so it's for use for files that aren't permanently there, so to speak?
[02:58] <Larry> NemesisD:  I don't know, but i've had windows do the same thing.
[02:58] <braddcadd> grego_, send me yours, i don;t know how to send it
[02:58] <intelikey> Veinor iirc 5% is the default reserved,   maybe set it to 1%
[02:58] <grego_> braddcadd: ok
[02:59] <NemesisD> Larry, same, ive set up a dir on this computer as a network drive on another and it will just say it is not accessable
[02:59] <Veinor> intelikey: and on pure data storage drives, 0% is okay?
[02:59] <daan> welemski: ok i'm going to catch some sleep now if you have any problems i'll be there tomorrow probably

[03:02] <rustalot> Invisionfree: does it say anything?
[03:02] <steve_c> hi all
[03:02] <steve_c>  could someone help a linux newbie figure out how to configure the screensavers. There are no options to point picture show to a specific subfolder(s)
[03:03] <firebird611> Jordan_U: Ok, Thanks. Also, at the moment I do not have a xorg.conf file. I had do delete it because my PC would not start otherwise. This happened after I spoke with you earlier. Without the xorg.conf file, my monitor is at 1680x1050. Does that help diagnose the problem any further?
[03:03] <Jordan_U> hende, First lets make it so that your firmware will be updated automatically when new versions come out, open synaptic and install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[03:03] <Invisionfree> rustalot: No. Nothing happens.
[03:03] <Jstn> How can I change my theme's titlebar color?
[03:03] <rustalot> does the BIOS screen show up?
[03:03] <braddcadd> grego_, i just sent you a message over jabber (my screen name is different on jabber)
[03:03] <Invisionfree> BIOS screen rustalot?
[03:03] <intelikey> Invisionfree sounds like grub (or lilo) would be the answer you need.
[03:03] <firebird611> Could anyone help me in removing the nvidia.com drivers and use the Restricted Drivers Manager instead?
[03:03] <BFrank> why is firefox saying this when I run it?

[03:04] <Invisionfree> BFrank: Stop spamming
[03:04] <crdlb> BFrank, #ubuntu+1
[03:04] <`Nick> BFrank: quit spamming
[03:04] <rustalot> it's a screen that says something like "DELL" or "ASUSU" or generally the name of your manufacturer
[03:04] <Invisionfree> !repeat | BFrank
[03:04] <ubotu> BFrank: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:04] <crdlb> BFrank, this channel is only for feisty
[03:04] <BFrank> it was repeated in the terminal
[03:04] <BFrank> oh
[03:04] <intelikey> crdlb only feisty ?
[03:04] <Veinor> feisty and edgy?
[03:04] <crdlb> I mean not gutsy
[03:04] <Veinor> oh.
[03:05] <Invisionfree> Oh, yes rustalot. I input my login information and thats when nothing else happens
[03:05] <Jstn> How can I change my theme's titlebar color? I'm using Gnome 2.18 and Ubuntu Feisty.
[03:05] <crdlb> dapper is supported here too :)
[03:05] <rustalot> login information to linux?
[03:05] <Kroozr> Jstn, as I said navigate to the system menu to preferences then to Theme
[03:05] <Invisionfree> rustalot: Username ans password for Ubuntu
[03:05] <Veinor> Jtsn: system->preferences->theme->theme details->window border
[03:05] <Jordan_U> firebird611, Without your xorg.conf it is probably using the open source "nv" driver that doesn't have 3D acceleration, either that or your resolution problem is a problem with your xorg.conf and not the driver so it should work if you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" and choose "nvidia" as the driver ( not "nv" ) and of course mark the resolutions you want to use.
[03:05] <intelikey> crdlb then support my dapper that wont boot sense the last update of the kernel
[03:05] <Jstn> Kroozr, doesn't allow me to change the color.
[03:05] <crdlb> ...
[03:05] <Kroozr> Jstn, see Veinor
[03:06] <Veinor> also controls in that menu
[03:06] <rustalot> Invisionfree: Does it just hang, or does the computer crash?
[03:06] <Invisionfree> rustalot: Hangs
[03:06] <Jstn> Window border does not have color.
[03:06] <intelikey> crdlb module depends is hosed,  know anything about that ?
[03:06] <crdlb> nope
[03:06] <Invisionfree> rustalot: My mouse moves and stuff...But all I see is my desktop background
[03:06] <Veinor> jstn: Controls does.
[03:06] <intelikey> crdlb ok.  that lets you off the hook,  know anyone to point me at ?
[03:07] <firebird611> Jordan_U: Ok, Thanks. Without the xorg.conf file I tried to run compiz fusion, but it said it couldn't run with VESA or VGA drivers, so I thought maybe it was using one of them.
[03:07] <rustalot> Invisionfree: can you see icons on your desktop?
[03:07] <Invisionfree> rustalot: No
[03:07] <khunt2> Anyone have the new Dell Inspiron E1505?
[03:07] <Jstn> Veinor, it changes more than just the color.
[03:07] <`Nick> what filesystem should i standard linux install be?
[03:07] <Veinor> jstn: I don't know of any way to just change the color off the top of my head
[03:07] <`Nick> fat32 or ext3?
[03:07] <Jordan_U> `Nick, ext3
[03:07] <Veinor> `Nick: ext3
[03:07] <`Nick> ok
[03:07] <Invisionfree> `Nick: ext3
[03:07] <intelikey> `Nick ext# or reiserfs
[03:08] <seko> hey, i just installed feisty and it keeps lagging like crazy and freezing up.  anyone else have this problem that could help me maybe? ^_^U
[03:08] <intelikey> xfs if you like a challange
[03:08] <Veinor> ext# and reiserfs are to linux what ntfs is to windows.
[03:08] <khunt2> When I install updates for the first time running my dell E1505, the laptop restarts when done and gives me:  Error 17:  Cannot mount selected partition
[03:08] <rustalot> Invisionfree: I don't know how to fix is [sorry] ,but to me it sounds like the problem is with GNOME, and that other things are probably ok.
[03:08] <steve_c> I guess no one knows about configuring screen savers. I'll try another channel.
[03:08] <intelikey> Veinor yuch,
[03:09] <Invisionfree> firebird611: Before you deleted xorg.conf what happened to your computer?
[03:09] <Veinor> intelikey: what? i'm just saying they're the 'native' filesystems, so to speak.
[03:09] <Kroozr> your not supposed to delete xorg.conf . . . are you
[03:09] <khunt2> I feel like Ive been raped
[03:10] <`Nick> what linux distro is GParted based on?
[03:10] <intelikey> khunt2 sounds like you need to reinstall grub,   that's not on a usb drive is it ?
[03:10] <firebird611> Invisionfree: It would restart itself a few times and then it just got stuck at a black screen. I could get to a cli though and login, thats how I deleted xorg.conf.
[03:10] <khunt2> intelikey: nope
[03:10] <Invisionfree> Oh. . . :(
[03:10] <Invisionfree> Well. BBL, as I try once mor eto run...
[03:10] <intelikey> !grub > khunt2
[03:10] <intelikey> khunt2 look at your pm's
[03:11] <khunt2> intelikey: yep, thanks.
[03:11] <Dj-avu> hi, where i can ask about ship cd to my country?
[03:11] <khunt2> intelikey: what do you think could have been in those updates that would break dell's new factory-installed-linux laptop?
[03:11] <`Nick> what Linux distro is gparted based on????
[03:11] <astro76> !shipit | Dj-avu
[03:11] <ubotu> Dj-avu: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Feisty (7.04) CDs
[03:12] <josealfredo> What drivers should i use for the 7600gt????
[03:12] <firebird611> Can anybody help me with removing the nvidia.com drivers and get back to using Restricted Drivers Manager?
[03:12] <josealfredo> having a tuff time with this drivers
[03:12] <intelikey> khunt2 i don't recall exactly the grub error 17  but you can also search the forums about that.  it's been often reported.     and you should also file a bug on that.  plus inform dell
[03:12] <Kroozr> fyi to all linux newb's like myself, i recommend www.linuxcommand.org as a good read to 'get to know' the command line
[03:12] <khunt2> intelikey: ok, thanks
[03:12] <mrsno__> firebird611 the nvidia.com drivers come with an uninstall, when you first sh the filename.sh, i believe there is an -uninstall switch
[03:13] <Dj-avu> astro76, i have ship and in this is the report "15 CDs requested on 2006-05-02. 15 CDs were approved and sent to the shipping company on 2006-05-03." but i am not receive that cd.
[03:13] <josealfredo> Drivers fo the nvidia 7600gt????
[03:13] <intelikey> Kroozr nice spam.
[03:13] <mrsno__> not sure of the exact command, alternatively if you used 'envy' then it has an uninstall option (might do the same thing)
[03:13] <Kroozr> intelikey, i wasn't trying to spam . . . just trying to be helpful... my bad
[03:13] <Budda> how do you get out of an apt-get problem "Depends: libsmjs1 but it is not installable"
[03:13] <Budda> ?
[03:13] <firebird611> mrsno__: So would it be sh -uninstall filename?
[03:13] <illovae> Kroozr: thx :)
[03:13] <khunt2> I love spam and reeses
[03:14] <`Nick> nobody knows what distro GParted is based on?
[03:14] <intelikey> Kroozr you can also add it to you quit message,  that's a good place for things like that.
[03:15] <jo3nix> what do you mean based on?
[03:15] <intelikey> `Nick i don't think you have asked a valed question there
[03:15] <n2diy> 'Nick linux?
[03:15] <Budda> `Nick: i was running it less than an hour ago, but can't remember. maybe CentOS?
[03:15] <seko> can anyone help me figure out my ubuntu keeps freezing?
[03:15] <Tarkus> hey, im trying to install FUPPES media server on my linux box to interact with my PS3. any idea how i can install this? repository is my favorite way to install (only way i know of yet). http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/
[03:15] <Budda> seko: wrap a blanket round it?
[03:15] <Budda> :)
[03:15] <seko> lol
[03:15] <Budda> Tarkus: i'm trying to do the same, but with mediatomb!
[03:16] <kitche> `Nick: if you mean the live cd it's gentoo-cataylst
[03:16] <jo3nix> how is gparted based on centos?
[03:16] <Budda> Tarkus: was just reading - http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/blogs/upnp_mediatomb_ps3_and_me#comment-72003
[03:16] <ivaarsen> seko - it might be your power supply?
[03:16] <`Nick> kitche: catalyst?
[03:16] <intelikey> `Nick do you mean the gparted live CD  ???     knoppix/debian   i suppose.
[03:16] <Larry> When recompiling, I run make menuconfig.  Where do the choices made in that dialog get saved?
[03:16] <Dj-avu> i have request 15 cd and aproved but until now i am not received that cd, where i can solved thats problem?
[03:16] <`Nick> intelikey: yea, like which is the actual gparted program running on
[03:16] <kitche> `Nick: GParted LiveCD is based
[03:16] <kitche> on Gentoo-catalyst, and uses Xorg,the lightweight Fluxbox window manager,
[03:16] <kitche> and the latest 2.6 Linux Kernel.
[03:16] <fisherhome> so guess who forgot his acct password to log into ubuntu?  anyone know a way into root to reset it?
[03:16] <seko> ivarrson: my power supply making it freeze up?  i never heard of that befor...
[03:17] <`Nick> kitche: ok
[03:17] <kitche> fisherhome: live cd or recovery mode
[03:17] <ivaarsen> seko - sure it can.
[03:17] <`Nick> AHHHHHHHHhhhhh'
[03:17] <`Nick> damnit
[03:17] <`Nick> laptop battery died :(
[03:17] <`Nick> intelikey: why not?
[03:18] <intelikey> bad initramfs.img
[03:18] <fisherhome> ah ok, so i just boot from cd, enter recov mode, and whats the command i'm looking for?
[03:18] <seko> any other possibilty that wouldent involve me spending money i dont have?  lol
[03:18] <kitche> fisherhome: press esc at the splash it should give you a menu for grub with your install
[03:18] <intelikey> `Nick know anything in that realmn?
[03:19] <fisherhome> thats while booted from the cd, right?
[03:19] <`Nick> intelikey: what's initramfs.img?
[03:19] <intelikey> that answers my Q
[03:19] <kitche> fisherhome: nope that is without the live cd
[03:19] <ivaarsen> well I'd do some trouble-shooting to narrow it down, but I have installed this os on many different systems and it always works like a charm, so I don't think it's the os.
[03:19] <fisherhome> oh ok cool thanks mate
[03:19] <`Nick> intelikey: say what now?
[03:19] <intelikey> anybody initramfs wise ?
[03:20] <n2diy> intelikey: initial ram file system?
[03:20] <intelikey> `Nick it's the second file that the system loads when booting.
[03:20] <Tarkus> Budda, yeah, i got mediatomb working fine
[03:20] <ivaarsen> unless you've done anything to ubuntu, it might be a hardware failure
[03:20] <`Nick> intelikey: i knew that...
[03:20] <Tarkus> Budda, it works amazingly for music and photo's
[03:20] <shadou> how do i know if my modem is working
[03:20] <intelikey> n2diy yes.  got knowledge ?
[03:20] <Budda> Tarkus: what version of ubuntu you got it working on? i can't get the spidemonkey libjs installed :-(
[03:20] <Tarkus> Budda, but it doesnt transcode my .avi videos to .mp4. so the PS cant read them
[03:21] <firebird611> Where would I find ./nvidia-installer? It says to run ./nvidia-installer --help
[03:21] <Tarkus> Budda, im using Feisty
[03:21] <n2diy> intelikey: other than that? no.
[03:21] <intelikey> k
[03:21] <kbrooks> firebird611, donty use that
[03:21] <ivaarsen> I had a machine just start to freeze all the time, no matter if I was playing a game, or idling, it would freeze at random.  New power supply, problem solved.
[03:21] <shadou> how do i know if my modem is working? i installed the drivers (i think)
[03:21] <dingus9> any one know why when I install nvidia-glx it wants the 2.6.20-15-386 kernel rather than a 686?
[03:21] <`Nick> lmao
[03:21] <`Nick> gparted has issues on this boot
[03:21] <jo3nix> firebird611, use apt-get to install the nvidia-glx-new
[03:21] <fisherhome> ok i managed to get into the recovery mode via esc, i'm at the root shell.. how do i view user accts?
[03:21] <`Nick> hm
[03:21] <macogw> shadou: try using it
[03:21] <Tarkus> Budda, i installed it using that excact same way. the page you showed me
[03:22] <intelikey> shadou lsmod will list the driver if it's inserted.
[03:22] <n2diy> intelikey: But, just a guess, if you're having trouble with it, you could have trouble with your ram.
[03:22] <firebird611> jo3nix: Will that remove the nvidia.com drivers?
[03:22] <kitche> fisherhome: passwd <username> will change your username's passwd
[03:22] <tretle> can someone help me recover from a partial upgrade to gutsy, basically i want a full upgrade but the upgrade manager crashed when i was upgrading so i had to do a partial upgrade instead
[03:22] <jo3nix> yes it will install over them
[03:22] <fisherhome> ooo you're good =]
[03:22] <Budda> Tarkus: i'm on dapper, and it doesn't go so smoothly :(
[03:22] <shadou> intelikey: lsmod?
[03:22] <intelikey> n2diy could i guess,  but that's not the problem.
[03:22] <dingus9> firebird611, are you trying to install the one from the nvidia site?
[03:22] <macogw> tretle: did you try just running the upgrade again?
[03:23] <Tarkus> Budda, it worked for me amazingly, i just folowed the instructions. and looked at my PS3 and boom! everything is right there
[03:23] <AJ--> ei guys just want to ask... can i use nano instead of vi..
[03:23] <tretle> i entered the cdc but it didnt ask me if i wanted to upgrade this time
[03:23] <macogw> tretle: i had a half-dapper/half-edgy system at one point because of that crap, but running the gui updater again fixed it
[03:23] <intelikey> shadou yes,  it's a command.   gnome-terminal # lsmod | less
[03:23] <AJ--> ei guys just want to ask... can i use nano instead of vi.. ????
[03:23] <macogw> tretle: cdc?
[03:23] <fisherhome> worked like a charm, kitche!  thank you very much for your quick help
[03:23] <Frogzoo> tretle: stay away from gutsy - it's alpha
[03:23] <macogw> AJ--: yeah sure
[03:23] <kitche> fisherhome: not a problem at all
[03:23] <macogw> Frogzoo: bit late?
[03:24] <shadou> intelikey: how do i know which is my modem?
[03:24] <Frogzoo> macogw: shrug
[03:24] <AJ--> macogw: so wats the diff. between them.. do they have same function?
[03:24] <Thingol79> seclein2: if you want to make model=vaio permanent, put this line to /etc/modprobe.conf:
[03:24] <Thingol79> options snd-hda-intel model=vaio
[03:24] <`Nick> damnit
[03:24] <n2diy> intelikey: one boot option from the CD is memtest, so it wouldn't be hard to check.
[03:24] <intelikey> shadou but something like wvdial would scan the modem devices for you.     wvdialconf
[03:24] <`Nick> hd just got fried
[03:24] <Evan_> having problem with first time install
[03:24] <seclein2> Thingol79: ok, thx
[03:24] <Thingol79> seclein2: or create a new file in /etc/modprobe.d and put it there
[03:24] <tretle> i had gutsy running already and it fits the bill, everything works great, but i have two partitions on the hardrive and the live cd partitioner is broke so i need to do an upgrade and this is where the problem arises
[03:24] <intelikey> n2diy that's right.
[03:24] <Thingol79> np
[03:24] <fisherhome> Nicke`: lightning?
[03:24] <tretle> how can i start the upgrade again?
[03:25] <macogw> AJ--: vi has all the commands from ed/sed for fast editing once you memorize a lot of commands.  nano has instructions onscreen at all times to be easy.  if you dont know vi commands, you're liable to become one of the people who unplugs their computer to close vi because they're stuck
[03:25] <Frogzoo> tretle: for gutsy -> #ubuntu+1
[03:25] <ScottLij> When I try to access a SAMBA shared folder on a windows machine it keeps asking me for a username and a password, how do I set these in Ubuntu?
[03:25] <tretle> ok so, thx for the help
[03:25] <fisherhome> gutsy beta is available for dl?
[03:25] <macogw> AJ--: both are sufficient for editing text of course
[03:25] <macogw> fisherhome: alpha, not beta
[03:25] <AJ--> macogw:  tnx a lot
[03:25] <Scunizi> ScottLij, you set that on the windows machine with a new user account
[03:25] <fisherhome> ah!  livecd?
[03:25] <ex-parrot> hey all... anyone got a fix for e1000 under x64? I get 'can'
[03:25] <Frogzoo> fisherhome: not sure it's even beta yet
[03:25] <ex-parrot> can't allocate MSI interrupt
[03:26] <macogw> fisherhome: yeah live or alternate.  it's the 2nd alpha
[03:26] <fisherhome> mmm i love trying new thangs.. im gunna get on that pronto
[03:26] <fisherhome> vmware <3
[03:26] <macogw> fisherhome: if youre not comfortable doing everything command line, stay away
[03:26] <fisherhome> i can get around decently but i'm not l33t
[03:26] <Invisionfree> Great news: I fixed my computer! It happened once and was booting last session. I set it to Gnome and it ran.
[03:26] <ScottLij> Scunizi, I created a new user account on the windows machine with the same name and password as the Ubuntu box
[03:26] <ex-parrot> anyone? e1000 pro server nic under x64?
[03:27] <Invisionfree> Now, is there a desktop recorder somewhere on Ubuntu?
[03:27] <macogw> fisherhome: alphas very often break and leave you with no X, so irssi, lynx, bash, and xorg.conf fearlessness are necessary
[03:27] <Invisionfree> !istanbul > Invisionfree
[03:27] <fisherhome> it also sounds like a great way to learn the shell
[03:27] <Scunizi> ScottLij, I've had real headaches getting samba to work from ubutnu to windows.  I CAN get from win2kpro to ubuntu though with no problem..
[03:27] <fisherhome> when u aint got no alternative!
[03:27] <macogw> Invisionfree: why are you answering your own question?
[03:27] <khunt2> lol
[03:28] <n2diy> ex-parrot: I'm running the e100 on an x86 SMP kernel here, but I doubt that would be of any help to you?
[03:28] <Invisionfree> macogw: Because Istanbul never works for me =|
[03:28] <ex-parrot> n2diy: I'm trying to run e1000 on an x64 server board :/
[03:28] <SaltyMule> What's the best way to learn the command line?
[03:28] <fisherhome> istanbul was constantinople, you know
[03:28] <jo3nix> use it
[03:28] <firebird611> dingus9: I installed the nvidia.com drivers, but I want to get rid of them and use Restricted Drivers Manager.
[03:28] <macogw> Invisionfree: oh, me neither.  i havent found one that actually works. istanbul goes CRASH when you try to save and recordmydesktop produces unplayable files
[03:28] <fisherhome> SaltyMule: if u figure out a way, please let me know
[03:28] <ScottLij> I'm just trying to transfer a file from the ubuntu box to the Windows box but I can't because the Ubuntu box can't connect to any windows box on the network and the windows boxes need a valid username and password
[03:28] <Evan_> Using LiveCD, boots from cd, but when I select "install", install window appears for a second, then disappears and nothing else happens.
[03:28] <khunt2> fisherhome: who was constantinople named after?
[03:28] <n2diy> SaltyMule: play with it.
[03:28] <ex-parrot> ScottLij: out of the box, feisty's smb.conf is broken
[03:29] <ex-parrot> edit it and enable auth = user
[03:29] <crimsun> khunt2: a constant integer, of course!
[03:29] <ex-parrot> then do smbpasswd -a <your username>
[03:29] <Stormx2> Heya folks. I've recently reinstalled ubuntu. Before. I could use kzenexplorer to transfer files to and from my mp3 player. Now, it needs root. How can I set up my system to allow it to run as a user, as it did before?
[03:29] <fisherhome> idk, constantine nople?
[03:29] <jo3nix> SaltyMule, use it to do everything you can.. install/remove packages, configure files, etc..
[03:29] <Invisionfree> Why is my computer filled with more errors all of the Windows OSes combined?
[03:29] <khunt2> crimsun:lol!
[03:29] <intelikey> mrsno__ here i B
[03:29] <ScottLij> ok, now where is that located?
[03:29] <mrsno__> intelikey can you boot from the dapper livecd and try reinstalling the deb file for the linux-image ?
[03:29] <SaltyMule> Yeah, I'm a pretty decent learner, but is there a book about command line installations?
[03:29] <mrsno__> the one installed prior to the "update"
[03:29] <Sonicadvance1> Wow, Surprised that the Creative Labs X-Fi cards aren't supported yet
[03:29] <macogw> ScottLij: probably under /etc with all the other config stuf
[03:29] <crimsun> Sonicadvance1: only the X-Fi Extreme Audios are.
[03:29] <n2diy> SaltyMule: http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.gz
[03:30] <jo3nix> SaltyMule, install gentoo a couple of times. ;)
[03:30] <Sonicadvance1> I've noticed
[03:30] <intelikey> mrsno__ yes done that.  same problem
[03:30] <macogw> SaltyMule: about installing from the text-mode installer or about apt-get or about using bash in general?
[03:30] <Sonicadvance1> Surprised all of them aren't in the slightest
[03:30] <fisherhome> SaltyMule: someone gave me this tutorial/exercise but i haven't tried it yet: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-033Spring-2005/Assignments/detail/handson1.htm
[03:30] <crimsun> Sonicadvance1: (those are really ca0106-driven; everything else requires an NDA.)
[03:30] <fisherhome> mainly cuz i had no user pw to log in with lol
[03:30] <ScottLij> macogw, Yup, thanks
[03:30] <SaltyMule> sweet,
[03:30] <bslote> So I had a server set up and working fine with ssh and samba and everything. It was originally wired into the network, but I just put a wireless card in it today and now none of the other computers on the network can access it. It still has the same address and everything. Any ideas?
[03:30] <Sonicadvance1> HA!
[03:30] <mrsno__> intelikey if you install the older kernel what happens when it boots ?
[03:30] <Sonicadvance1> That's funny. and it sucks
[03:30] <Sonicadvance1> :P
[03:30] <mrsno__> or what exactly is happening
[03:30] <Sonicadvance1> Good thing I don't have a Creative Labs card
[03:30] <fisherhome> bslote: are you able to get out to google.com from that machine?
[03:30] <kmcq> whats the command to force quit a program on linux?
[03:31] <SaltyMule> I've got problems getting to the internet so using apt-get is a pain
[03:31] <Frogzoo> Sonicadvance1: closed drivers will be available Q3/4
[03:31] <bslote> fisherhome, yes, sir
[03:31] <Jstn> For anyone that was curious, for changing the border color a great utility is gnome-color-chooser.
[03:31] <Sonicadvance1> Yes, I've been reading up on it
[03:31] <TerroriSta> anyoen not busy? i have a real problem trying to install some drivers on my computer
[03:31] <fisherhome> are you using a linksys wireless router by chance?
[03:31] <wm32gonzo> Check the config on your router.
[03:31] <Sonicadvance1> I'm not even interested in buying one though so I'm fine
[03:31] <bslote> fisherhome, yeah
[03:31] <SaltyMule> and I'm trying to use the server edition, because I  should learn this stuff. thanks for the suggestions
[03:31] <fisherhome> ok, check for the setting "AP"
[03:31] <fisherhome> make sure it's disabled
[03:31] <fisherhome> that sets up a private network for all wireless machines
[03:31] <ScottLij> ex-parrot, uncomment this line?     ;   security = user
[03:31] <SaltyMule> seeya
[03:32] <AJ--> is there any guide how to make my linux share internet connection to my windows pc.. coz im not using a router
[03:32] <intelikey> mrsno__ the older one seems to have inherited the same module dependancy problem as it's linux-image-2.6.28*-55-386 counter part.     i really think that modutils or something is the culpret
[03:32] <fisherhome> loginto the router via http://<IP_ADDRESS>  (or whatever your default gateway is)
[03:32] <n2diy> SaltyMule: LTR
[03:32] <fisherhome> default account is username: <blank>  pw: admin
[03:32] <Frogzoo> Sonicadvance1: I'm not really sure X-Fi is all that anyway
[03:32] <intelikey> mrsno__ but i don't know what.
[03:33] <fisherhome> it should be located under the Wireless setting, probably in the Advanced tab
[03:33] <Budda> how can i see what version of ubuntu is installed from the terminal?
[03:33] <fisherhome> thats where it is in my Linksys WRT54GS
[03:33] <mrsno__> intelikey dapper uses linux-image-2.6.15
[03:33] <Budda> uname -a doesn't tell me much
[03:33] <TerroriSta> anyoen not busy? i have a real problem trying to install some drivers on my computer
[03:33] <intelikey> mrsno__ yeah did i typo that ?
[03:33] <bslote> fisherhome, trying to check. I can't seem to access my router config page for some reason. Going to try another computer.
[03:33] <fisherhome> yeh if it's not configured properly via wire first, you won't be able to access it wirelessly
[03:33] <jo3nix> Budda, have you edited your issue files?
[03:33] <Sonicadvance1> Woo integrated sound!
[03:34] <intelikey> mrsno__ ah yes  *6.15-28*
[03:34] <mrsno__> intelikey oh a typo, can you pastebin the exact errors appearing , you can access the files from the livecd and copy from the install
[03:34] <jo3nix> Busata, do less /etc/issue
[03:34] <Budda> jo3nix: sorry, but i don't even know what an issue file is, or for.
[03:34] <fisherhome> go to a wired machine.. if it's an xp machine, Start > Run > cmd /k ipconfig/all
[03:34] <ScottLij> grr, still can't connect to the windows box
[03:34] <fisherhome> it'll open a black window and show u your default gateway, then just enter that into a web browser
[03:34] <jo3nix> Budda, do less /etc/issue
[03:34] <intelikey> mrsno__ running depmod
[03:34] <intelikey> depmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented
[03:34] <jo3nix> lame way but it workes if you havnt edited issue
[03:34] <Budda> jo3nix: thanks. worked. whats that file for?
[03:35] <sandip123> hi gusy
[03:35] <Larry> I'm trying to understand what goes on when recompiling a kernel.  Where does "make menuconfig" output the chosen options?
[03:35] <TerroriSta> anyoen can help me to isntall the ipwraw modules?
[03:35] <intelikey> mrsno__ from there everything is about mod-deps issues.
[03:35] <sandip123> just wanted to ask .. whats the command to load ntfs drives ?
[03:35] <fisherhome> TerroriSta: did you try apt-get?
[03:35] <jo3nix> Budda, its the banner for ssh/telnet connection
[03:35] <Evan_> install issue: boots from CD, but does not install on hard drive.
[03:35] <AJ--> is there any guide how to make my linux share internet connection to my windows pc.. coz im not using a router
[03:35] <fisherhome> open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install ipwrar" without quotes
[03:35] <mrsno__> intelikey you haven't been dist-upgrading or anything?
[03:35] <bslote> fisherhome, ap isolation is disabled
[03:35] <pj> hi can you helo me about activeX
[03:36] <sandip123> i meant .... whats the command on the terminal to load the ntfs partitions
[03:36] <TerroriSta> fisherhome: i downloaded the ipwraw lzm modules from some website, but havent been able to extract the files from the lzm file
[03:36] <pj> how can I install it?
[03:36] <intelikey> mrsno__ no.   it's a clone of the system i'm talking to you on.
[03:36] <fisherhome> bsole: ok is wireless security enabled?
[03:36] <mrsno__> is module-init-tools installed intelikey ?
[03:36] <fisherhome> bslote* pardon
[03:36] <ScottLij> [2007/07/05 21:33:44, 0]  lib/util_sock.c:read_data(534)
[03:36] <ScottLij>   read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client <IP_ADDRESS>. Error = Connection reset by peer
[03:36] <intelikey> mrsno__ let me check.
[03:36] <bslote> fisherhome, yeah; wep
[03:36] <fisherhome> does anybody else know what is needed to extract LZM archives in ubuntu?
[03:37] <jrib> pj: activex is a windows thing
[03:37] <intelikey> mrsno__  ii  module-init-tools         3.2.2-1ubuntu7
[03:37] <TerroriSta> fisherhome: that is exactly what i am looking for lol, extracting lzm archives on ubuntu
[03:37] <fisherhome> on the newly wireless machine.. the default gateway and ip scheme is the same?
[03:37] <kmcq> what is the shortcut command to bring up the force quit menu (like control alt delete on windows)
[03:37] <fisherhome> i.e. on the same subnet
[03:37] <bslote> Yeah
[03:37] <RodGo> hi all, i am a rails programmer and a ubuntu user, i am on the development of a new webapp and i need to know how i can do some tests with smtp server, rails configuration for this asks me for a smtp server, a user and a password, is there a way so i can install smtp server and configure it on ubuntu?
[03:37] <pj> please how can i enable active X
[03:38] <pj> please help
[03:38] <sel> ScottLij have you checked the permissions on the windows share?
[03:38] <jrib> pj: there is no activex on linux
[03:38] <RodGo> any help?
[03:38] <mrsno__> intelikey try sudo update-modules
[03:38] <ScottLij> sel, I was able to write and read to them earlier
[03:38] <ScottLij> didn't change any settings
[03:38] <TerroriSta> anyoen knows what do i need to extract LZM files on ubuntu?
[03:38] <jrib> kmcq: system -> administration -> system monitor  no shortcut by default
[03:38] <kmcq> ok thanks rjib
[03:38] <kmcq> err jrib*
[03:38] <sel> od
[03:39] <pj> so how can i use active X?
[03:39] <jrib> kmcq: you might like using the "force quit" applet in your panel.  You can just clikc on the applet and then click on the offending app
[03:39] <bslote> fisherhome, all the settings are exactly the same, except it's just using a wireless card now.
[03:39] <jrib> pj: stop asking that.  I told you already, there is no activex
[03:39] <intelikey> mrsno__ k.  can we work on the assumption that that doesn't fix it for now.  the system is indisposed at the moment.  i will not that  update-modules  and test asap.  but if not do you have anything else?
[03:39] <Evan_> Need help troubleshooting failed install
[03:39] <PurpZeY> jrib: Is that something that needs to be added to the panel?
[03:39] <jrib> pj: why do you need it?
[03:39] <fisherhome> bstole: i'm stumped.. wireless in ubuntu aint my strong point =\
[03:39] <intelikey> mrsno__ s/not/note/
[03:39] <PurpZeY> Evan_: Describe the issue so that someone might help.
[03:39] <mrsno__> intelikey after trying that i can't think of anything, all i can think of is maybe you upgraded from a 2.4 to 2.6 kernel?
[03:39] <jrib> PurpZeY: well you don't need to add it, depends if you like it
[03:40] <kmcq> jrib i dont follow you, where do i find this app?
[03:40] <RodGo> i have another question, on development enviroment, when i enter a url like this localhost:3000/articles/1 it gets me the first article, but when i go to articles/fake_article_id it gets me this compilation error with information
[03:40] <pj> we have a security cam that needs active x to be viewed
[03:40] <jo3nix> TerroriSta, lzm2dir is the command
[03:40] <PurpZeY> jrib: Right, what I meant was...It's not a standard part of the panel? (e.g. in the notification area)
[03:40] <jrib> kmcq: right click on your panel, go to 'add to panel'.  Then find the 'force quit' applet
[03:40] <kmcq> err well i found the system moniter thing, but im not sure what you mean about putting an applet on my desktkop
[03:40] <jrib> PurpZeY: ah, right
[03:40] <TerroriSta> jo3nix i knwo, but it does not extract
[03:40] <kmcq> ok
[03:40] <defcon> how do I limit a user account's bandwidth on ubuntu
[03:40] <intelikey> mrsno__ no.  just from 2.6.15-28*53 to 2.6.15-28*55
[03:40] <kmcq> thanks
[03:40] <defcon> ?
[03:40] <mrsno__> intelikey i would be interested to hear what fixes it, but also how it happened
[03:40] <fisherhome> defcon phone bridge? lol
[03:40] <sel> ScottLij have you tried restarting samba?
[03:40] <TerroriSta> i used: sudo lzm2dir file.lzm /             and nothing
[03:41] <fisherhome> i used to spend some good time on that thang
[03:41] <h1st0> *
[03:41] <defcon> fisherhome, lol
[03:41] <ScottLij> I've restarted the computer
[03:41] <Scunizi> pj: you can load windows in a vmware server and do it that way.  But active x is windows only and won't be licensed for linux.
[03:41] <intelikey> mrsno__ yeah.  ok. i'll let you know what i find out.
[03:41] <jrib> kmcq: it's just another alternative.  It's easier to use because you just click on the app instead of searching for the name and then killing it.  You don't need it if you don't like it
[03:41] <jo3nix> are you doing it sudo or as root?
[03:41] <intelikey> mrsno__ thanks for the input.
[03:41] <Evan_> Ubuntu boots from the CD, but when I click "Install" the install box opens for a second then closes and nothing else happens.
[03:41] <defcon> I would like to limit a user account's bandwidth is it possible?
[03:41] <mrsno__> intelikey your welcome
[03:41] <sel> AND YOU ARE IN THE SAME WORKGROUP ETC?
[03:41] <ScottLij> how do I reset the samba service from the command line
[03:41] <sel> sry
[03:41] <ScottLij> yes, all WORKGROUP
[03:42] <intelikey> mrsno__ i knew all the system mechanics would be in +1  :))))
[03:42] <ScottLij> I can see the Ubuntu machine in Windows but it won't let me connect
[03:42] <Scunizi> ScottLij, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart I think
[03:42] <kmcq> jrib: thanks! are there any good sites that have tutorials for ubuntu and modifying the panel, i would love to customize it to be a bit more like mac os 10 but im not sure how to go about doing it
[03:42] <sel> it'll be sudo /etc/init.d/ <whatever>
[03:42] <jo3nix> ScottLij, iirc its /etc/init.d/samba resart
[03:42] <sel> sec
[03:42] <sel> sounds right
[03:42] <jrib> kmcq: I can offer you a theme site, but I don't know of any in depth sites for that specific purpose
[03:42] <jrib> !themes > kmcq (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:42] <mrsno__> hehe :]
[03:43] <ScottLij> still nothing
[03:43] <fisherhome> http://art.gnome.org is the best theme site i know about
[03:43] <kmcq> ok thanks jrib
[03:43] <TTT_Travis> how do I enable my TV Out in Ubuntu?
[03:43] <TTT_Travis> on my video card
[03:43] <jrib> TTT_Travis: what card?
[03:44] <nich0s> How do I set up a network interface.
[03:44] <sandip123> hey guys .. could someone let me know the command to load the ntfs drives ... on ubuntu ?
[03:44] <jrib> !ntfs > sandip123 (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:44] <awerner32> is there a linux angry ip equivilent
[03:44] <jo3nix> nich0s, static or dynamic address?
[03:44] <jo3nix> awerner32, nmap!
[03:44] <fisherhome> jrib: would u have ubotu msg me that too?
[03:44] <sandip123> oh .. cool. thanks
[03:44] <TTT_Travis> jrib VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500]
[03:44] <Evan_> I am doing my first install of Ubuntu. The system boots good from the cd, but will not install. please help.
[03:44] <nich0s> jo3nix: Static
[03:45] <jrib> fisherhome: you can do: /msg ubotu ntfs
[03:45] <TTT_Travis> so Radeon 7500 I guess
[03:45] <fisherhome> haha oops duh
[03:45] <fisherhome> thanks
[03:45] <defcon> I have a user on my computer that uses a website that I dont approve of, I can block this site via iptables but I would like to somehow set an error message like 404 page not found or, page temporarily not available
[03:45] <defcon> is this possible?
[03:45] <ScottLij> I can connect to the samba share on the localhost if that means anything
[03:45] <jo3nix> nich0s, edit /etc/network/interfaces
[03:45] <jrib> TTT_Travis: ah, don't know about ati, but check the wiki while you wait for someone that is familiar with it here
[03:45] <iShock> Why is it, when I instal Istanbul and record stuff, I can never view it? Totem just crashes
[03:45] <MISTERTibbs> Evan_, what do you mean it won't install?
[03:46] <jo3nix> nich0s, for the interface to be static you need auth eth0 (replace eth0 with your iface)
[03:46] <PurpZeY> iShock: I've had the same experience and personally I think it's just because Istanbul doesn't work that well...Try lowering the res. on the capture. instead of 1:1 try 1:1/2
[03:46] <nich0s> jo3nix: Would you know I would go about finding out what kind of card I have?
[03:46] <iShock> PurpZeY: How?
[03:46] <qubix> yummy... fluxbox
[03:46] <TerroriSta> still nothing here, havent been able to extract lzm files, anyone help?
[03:46] <jo3nix> nich0s, lspci will display your card
[03:46] <Evan_> MISTERTibbs: When I click on install icon, the language box appears for a second, the closes. That is all that happens.
[03:47] <PurpZeY> iShock: right-click on the little istanbul icon...or left click to bring up options...whichever and it's in there, can't miss it.
[03:47] <MISTERTibbs> Evan_, try the alternate install method
[03:47] <iShock> Left click is record..
[03:47] <jo3nix> nich0s, if that command does not work you may have to install pciutils
[03:47] <PurpZeY> iShock: Then it's right click
[03:47] <dirtywerm> sadf
[03:47] <iShock> PurpZeY: I changed it...It looks like crap..
[03:47] <defcon> what is a good app for ubuntu to filter websites
[03:47] <ScottLij> I just set the password using: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER    and now I can connect from the windows box
[03:47] <jo3nix> nich0s, lspci |grep Ethernet will narrow your search
[03:47] <iShock> Hiya!
[03:47] <PurpZeY> iShock: Like I said, in my opinion Istanbul is just poor.
[03:48] <iShock> PurpZeY: Are there any others for Ubuntu?
[03:48] <AJ--> any manuals or guide how to make my linux box share internet connection to other pc ?????
[03:48] <macogw> defcon: you mean like parental controls?
[03:48] <PurpZeY> iShock: There are, but the names escape me.
[03:48] <iShock> PurpZeY: Wanna help me find em? :(
[03:48] <defcon> macogw, sort of, like block sites etc
[03:48] <anomic__> i seem to have some trouble with roaming. i've set up two access points, both of which i know to be working. nm-applet displays the signal strength of the one with best signal, but the strength of the connected network (the little icon in the panel) shows the one i've moved away from. plz help :(
[03:48] <PurpZeY> iShock: I'll take a quick loook
[03:49] <iShock> Ok, thanks.

[03:50] <Evan_> MISTERTibbs: OK, just looked at the process; I'll do that. Thank you.
[03:50] <MISTERTibbs> Evan_, good luck dude!
[03:50] <petervk_> Hey, i'm trying out irssi for the first time, can someone send a message starting with my username? (petervk: )
[03:50] <iShock> Any luck PurpZeY?
[03:50] <firebird611> Could someone please help me get rid of the nvidia.com drivers and get the Restricted Drivers Manager ones enabled?   I had to set the samba password using: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER
[03:51] <petervk_> nich0s: thanks!
[03:51] <jo3nix> firebird611, what kinda card is it, know?
[03:51] <nich0s> petervk_: I do what I can.
[03:51] <sel> hmm
[03:51] <firebird611> jo3nix: Nvidia GeForce FX5200 (DELL)

[03:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xvidcap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:52] <kitche> firebird611: you still have the run file
[03:52] <firebird611> kitche: Yes
[03:52] <kitche> firebird611: sh NV*.run --uninstall
[03:52] <jo3nix> firebird611, ok, so now that your inet is working just sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and it will install over the other one
[03:52] <firebird611> kitche:Thanks
[03:52] <firebird611> jo3nix: Thanks
[03:52] <PurpZeY> iShock: I can't locate it...There is one with a similar title xvidcap or something similar, sorry man.
[03:53] <iShock> PurpZeY: I found xvidcap, thansk for helping :D
[03:53] <jo3nix> firebird611, it will ask if you want it to edit your config files, you do.
[03:53] <antioxid> !factoids search xvid
[03:53] <AJ--> is there any guide how to make my linux share internet connection to my windows pc.. coz im not using a router
[03:53] <firebird611> After that is completed, what do I have to do to get xorg.conf configured correctly to get 1680x1050? Right now I do not have a xorg.conf file.
[03:53] <iShock> I wonder...Hello, test.
[03:53] <PurpZeY> !smb | AJ--
[03:53] <ubotu> AJ--: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:54] <jo3nix> firebird611, it creates all the files during install
[03:54] <jo3nix> firebird611, are you not in X right now?
[03:54] <iShock> PurpZeY: It does the same thing...No movie player will play it...-.-
[03:54] <Ditiris> Can anyone help me with a GRUB error?  I get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[03:54] <PurpZeY> iShock: I imagine you are trying to record beryl?
[03:54] <iShock> Nope...Regular desktop
[03:54] <macogw> Ditiris: make sure its pointing at the right partition
[03:55] <firebird611> jo3nix: I am in X right now and I am at the resolution, but before with the xorg.conf, I could not get that res. I tried entering it myself, reconfiguring x many times, as well as modlines, but nothing worked.
[03:55] <Ditiris> macogw: Is there anyway to list the partitions from the GRUB command line?  It's telling me hda, but I thought I only had sda devices...
[03:55] <PurpZeY> iShock: I don't know mang...I had that experience, the only thing I was able to do was lower the ratio size.
[03:55] <PurpZeY> iShock: Then it worked.
[03:55] <macogw> Ditiris: hda?  it should be showing hd0 or hd1...
[03:56] <iShock> PurpZeY: It worked but looks so poor there is no point in it..
[03:56] <MISTERTibbs> !irssi
[03:56] <ubotu> irssi is a command line interface !IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help
[03:56] <macogw> Ditiris: usually grub goes hd# even though after-boot you have /dev/sd*#
[03:56] <Ditiris> macogw: It shows root (hda1,1) as the first line.
[03:56] <jo3nix> firebird611, you can always backup the config file that works (the one now) and keep it for after the new driver is installed
[03:56] <PurpZeY> iShock: I understand entirely...I had the SAME problem...Have you looked in the forums?
[03:56] <macogw> Ditiris: try it as (hd0,0)
[03:56] <firebird611> jo3nix: That is the thing though, I do not have one at all.
[03:56] <PurpZeY> iShock: Or even google
[03:56] <Ditiris> macogw: I have two physical disks, with multiple versions of windows installed on one of the disks, and i'm trying to install ubuntu on the second disk.
[03:56] <iShock> PurpZeY: Could it be file type? What should I have?
[03:57] <Ditiris> macogw: Same error, Error 17: Cannout mount selected partition
[03:57] <macogw> Ditiris: second disk is hd1 then
[03:57] <PurpZeY> iShock: I found best success with avi, and ogg
[03:57] <iShock> ogg?
[03:57] <jo3nix> there aren't any files in /etc/X11/??
[03:57] <AJ--> PurpZeY: thats not wat i mean..i got 2 lancards on my box.. the other 1 connect to my speedstream modem and the other to my hub.. now i want my othere PC connect to the internet..
[03:57] <macogw> Ditiris: it goes disk number (hd0 or hd1) and then partition (start counting at 0)
[03:57] <Ditiris> macogw: VICTORY!  root (hd1,1)

[03:57] <iShock> Oh
[03:57] <Ditiris> macogw: Ah, victory short-lived, just reboots machine ; ;
[03:57] <santims> Hello, i was wondering if there was a need/reason to run Virus Scan programs in ubuntu?????
[03:57] <macogw> iShock: container extension for vorbis and theora which are free codecs
[03:57] <iShock> Its another file type
[03:57] <macogw> santims: no
[03:58] <iShock> Uh oh
[03:58] <ScottLij> santims, only if you distribute .exe files
[03:58] <kitche> santims: well if you have a windows computer or email
[03:58] <iShock> Where did xvidthingy go?
[03:58] <macogw> santims: if you have a dual boot, you might wanna run virus scan from ubuntu on your windows partition snce viruses can hide from scan when windows is booted
[03:58] <macogw> Ditiris: is root the first partition on the hard drive? thatd be hd1,0
[03:59] <santims> okay so it really is similar to the need for a virus scanner on os x...you dont really need it unless you are dual booting and/or transfering files to a windows machine
[03:59] <nich0s> petervk_: Hey there, I'm trying out irssi. How do you cycle dialogs?
[03:59] <macogw> santims: exactly
[03:59] <macogw> nich0s: alt + number
[03:59] <firebird611> I installed nvidia-glx-new and uninstalled the nvidia.com ones and now the Restricted Drivers Manager says Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers. It shouldn't say that should it?
[03:59] <n2diy> macogw: hda is a valid disk assignment.
[03:59] <macogw> nich0s: alt + a to go to active
[03:59] <nich0s>  macogw Thanks :)
[03:59] <macogw> n2diy: not if its sata
[03:59] <santims> macogw:  thank you.
[03:59] <macd> then someone comes along and codes a linux specific virus and turns the world upside down.
[03:59] <Ditiris> macogw: Finally got it to boot, but now I have other problems.  Fails loading hardware drivers it looks like.
[03:59] <AJ--> i got 2 lancards on my box.. the other 1 connect to my speedstream modem and the other to my hub.. now i want my othere PC connect to the internet.. wat should i do?
[04:00] <gerro> lsusb reports my printer as here "Bus 003 Device 002: ID 043d:003d Lexmark International, Inc. X83 Scan/Print/Copy" however when entering localhost:631 I have no clue what connection type to input
[04:00] <macogw> Ditiris: do you have a GUI or no?
[04:00] <macd> AJ--, install firestarter and make that box and internet gateway
[04:00] <n2diy> macogw: ok, mine are plain jane IDE drives.
[04:00] <Ditiris> macogw: It doesn't make it that far in the boot process
[04:00] <Pelo> macd,  linux is much less vulnerable then windows to start with
[04:00] <macogw> Ditiris: because first you're gonna want to update grub so that it always points to the right place
[04:00] <PurpZeY> macd: There have been 2. Created specifically for linux, but specifically for the purpose of proving it could be done...never released for malicious purposes.
[04:00] <macogw> Ditiris: oh how far does it get? is it a black screen that says "login:" or nothing?
[04:00] <macd> Pelo, PurpZeY I know this
[04:01] <Pelo> anyone know how to make folder specific background in nautilus ?
[04:01] <petervk_> nich0s: cycle dialogs?
[04:01] <barnydan>  Cankisou
[04:01] <barnydan> rulez
[04:01] <nich0s> petervk_: Change screens, It's the Alt+#
[04:02] <macogw> petervk_: wants to switch from channel to channel without leaving them in irssi
[04:02] <Ditiris> macogw: Loading hardware drivers [OK]  then some stuff... then Bad page state in process 'modprobe', then some debug stuff, then Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed, then blank line, then Call Trace: then blank line, then Call Trace:.  Computer appears to be hung, time to reboot!
[04:02] <petervk_> nich0s: yeah, use alt and the number keys
[04:02] <ptn107> firebird611: just curious... is the    linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic    package installed?
[04:02] <nich0s> petervk_: Anything else that I need to knows about irssi?
[04:02] <firebird611> ptn107: yes
[04:03] <ptn107> firebird611: weird
[04:03] <nickrud> Pelo, you can drag patterns from edit->backgrounds and emblems
[04:03] <firebird611> ptn107: as is linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-15-generic
[04:03] <ScottLij> is there a way to "zip" a large file into several small files, transfer them to a windows machine, and then unzip them?
[04:03] <petervk_> nich0s: uhh, yes. http://www.irssi.org/help/
[04:03] <Pelo> nickrud, I know that part,  but I would like some folder to have different background then others,  so far I can only have one background for all folders
[04:04] <Ditiris> grrr... this time it stopped at [43.619653]  <1>Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
[04:04] <khunt2> Gigasplit
[04:04] <Ditiris> ah well, at least it appears to be trying to heal itself
[04:04] <nich0s> petervk_: Awesome, I shall investigate :)
[04:04] <mrsno__> ScottLij you can span a large file into multiple rar or zip or tar files for example, then combine on the other end
[04:04] <nickrud> Pelo, no, that is folder specific. If you want a global pattern, you'd need to change it in .gconf
[04:04] <n2diy> ScottLij: Mondo/Mindi might handle that?
[04:04] <ptn107> firebird611: i have   linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic   nvidia-glx        and nvidia-kernel-common    packages installed and it works fine
[04:04] <Pelo> nickrud, let me give it another try
[04:04] <nickrud> Pelo, that's one of the few things that's stuck around for all of nautilus's life
[04:05] <Ditiris> does ubuntu not work with quad core processors?
[04:05] <ptn107> firebird611: and it did work with the 2.6.20-15 kernel also
[04:05] <Pelo> nickrud, nope sorry,  maybe I am doing it wrong , but if it change it in one and then open another the background is changed in that one to
[04:06] <petervk_> Ditiris: Ubuntu should work with quad core
[04:06] <firebird611> What can I do to fix that problem now? Also, just a question, I have ran the Fedora 7 live CD and also had Fedora 7 installed and it detected and used 1680x1050 out-of-the-box. What is the difference between the two distros and why doesn't Ubuntu detect it correctly.
[04:06] <imbecile> how do i run chkdsk?
[04:06] <Sonicadvance1> Oi, what's the command to get your network cards Gateway address?
[04:06] <firebird611> ptn107: I have nvidia-glx-new installed, should I have nvidia-glx instead?
[04:06] <petervk_> imbecile: checkdsk is a windows program. What is your problem?
[04:06] <n2diy> imbecile: fsck
[04:06] <nickrud> Pelo, that is strange; I have a global one set in gconf-editor, and override at will. Just did it, in fact
[04:07] <petervk_> imbecile: fsck will check an ext2 or 3 file system
[04:07] <ptn107> firebird611: im not sure what the difference is,   couldnt hurt though
[04:07] <Pelo> nickrud, maybe I need to set a global one in gconf first ,  what key ?
[04:07] <imbecile> petervk_, trying to mount ntfs parttition abd it says to run chkdsk
[04:07] <macogw> petervk_: or fat32...it can do that too
[04:07] <petervk_> firebird611: nvidia changed their drivers
[04:07] <santims> does ubuntu support s.m.a.r.t. technology for hard drives?
[04:07] <macogw> imbecile: is windows installed on the ntfs partitiong?
[04:07] <imbecile> macogw,  nope.. just ntfs
[04:08] <desi4life> hey i m back
[04:08] <macogw> imbecile: if so, it wants you to open a command line on windows and run "chkdsk /f" then reboot
[04:08] <khunt2> the installer thinks that eastern time is GMT - 4
[04:08] <NigelS> santims: smartd etc is avail in linux yes
[04:08] <nich0s> desi4life: WELCOME BACK!
[04:08] <macogw> imbecile: oh...well thats a problem
[04:08] <desi4life> finally got beryl to work...woohoo
[04:08] <Ditiris> i think it's incorrectly identifying my chipset, is there some way to specify a different chipset?
[04:08] <firebird611> ptn107: Ok, I could give it a try I guess. I would like to get the issue resolved.
[04:08] <petervk_> firebird611:  I don't know which is which but there is three different nvidia drivers now
[04:08] <n2diy> khunt2: it is.
[04:08] <nickrud> Pelo, apps/nautilus/preferences/background_filename, and background_set
[04:08] <desi4life> need help in getting some themes and figuring out how this beryl thing works
[04:08] <desi4life> any place to start reading?
[04:08] <khunt2> n2diy: its GMT - 5 isnt it? Eastern Standard Time?
[04:08] <petervk_> imbecile: I don't think there is a linux program that can chkdsk ntfs
[04:08] <santims> NigelS: how do i use it in ubuntu? i had a drive that fell off my desk yesterday and i dont really have the funds to replace it right now
[04:08] <PurpZeY> desi4life: beryl comes preloaded with emerald themes
[04:08] <khunt2> at least where I am in new york it is
[04:08] <Pelo> nickrud, yup those are set
[04:08] <desi4life> also i m using xgl session what is that and how is it different than the regular session?
[04:09] <petervk_> imbecile: you would have to boot windows on the partition
[04:09] <santims> i dont want it to fail before i get a new one
[04:09] <imbecile> so i need to find a windows box to plug this thing into?
[04:09] <n2diy> khunt2: Correct, but, we are in Daylight time, so it it -4.
[04:09] <khunt2> n2diy: ah haa!
[04:09] <macogw> khunt2: dayllight savings time
[04:09] <TheCreationist> I'm trying to install the package w32codecs, but apparently it isn't available in ANY of the repositories.  Can someone tell me how to get this installed?  I'm running Feisty.
[04:09] <petervk_> imbecile: or use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BartPE
[04:09] <n2diy> khunt2: :)
[04:09] <khunt2> thanks for claryfing
[04:09] <khunt2> lol.
[04:09] <ptn107> firebird611: i believe nvidia-glx is forceware version 94.24 and nvidia-glx-new is forceware version 97.55
[04:09] <nickrud> Pelo, that's odd. I mean, I've been doing this since about 0.8, it's been reliable. Try a test user
[04:09] <PurpZeY> !restricted | TheCreationist
[04:09] <ubotu> TheCreationist: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:09] <macogw> PurpZeY: no it doesnt. you have to install the emerald-themes package
[04:10] <imbecile> i'd just format and convert to ext3 problem is i have over 500Gb on the disk :/
[04:10] <macogw> PurpZeY: it might if you use aptitude, but not with apt-get
[04:10] <firebird611> After installing nvidia drivers, does X need to be restarted before Restricted Drivers Manager works correctly?
[04:10] <Stonerrob420> hello everybody
[04:10] <Pelo> nickrud, do you see a key in there for a specific folder ?
[04:10] <nich0s> Stonerrob420: Hi
[04:10] <NigelS> santims: the util to use is smartctl from the cmd line
[04:10] <AJ--> :(( how can i make a dialer to connect to internet.. im using speedstream modem
[04:10] <Mirdan> How do i connect to a personal IRC channel?
[04:10] <jtmoulia> yo, I have a problem where I have keys bound to volume up and down, but they don't actually change the volume. Any help would be awesome...
[04:10] <PurpZeY> macogw: Must be my mistake...However I installed it (I believe I followed the guide) then the themes were installed.
[04:10] <TheCreationist> PurpZeY: That's the problem... I've added all the necessary repositories, but w32codecs isn't found.
[04:11] <TheCreationist> PurpZeY: Not with apt-get or Synaptic.
[04:11] <n2diy> Mirdan: /join #Mirdan
[04:11] <petervk_> imbecile: that may not be possible
[04:11] <Pelo> Mirdan, /msg nick
[04:11] <Mirdan> thanks
[04:11] <Diator> lol
[04:11] <petervk_> imbecile: you probably need to transfer the files to another disk, reformat, and then transfer back
[04:11] <PurpZeY> TheCreationist: I believe if you try to run that type of file in mplayer it should ask for the codec and then download it.
[04:11] <Shadowpillar_> Okay
[04:11] <ptn107> firebird611: oh forceware 97.55 was just beta at one point, prolly not a good idea to use
[04:11] <Shadowpillar_> I want an explanation
[04:12] <TheCreationist> PurpZeY: That's what I thought too... but all it says is the file is encrypted and can't be player.
[04:12] <TheCreationist> played*
[04:12] <NigelS> TheCreationist: have you followed the restricted formats guide?
[04:12] <firebird611> ptn107: So do not use nvidia-glx-new?
[04:12] <Shadowpillar_> as to why network manager likes to randomly decide that I dont need networking at all
[04:12] <Shadowpillar_> why the hell is network manager even default?
[04:12] <NigelS> TheCreationist: because no, you won't find them in the official repos
[04:12] <ptn107> firebird611: i dont see any reason to
[04:12] <tds5016> hey, what is some good virtualization software to run windows?
[04:12] <Shadowpillar_> vmplayer
[04:12] <PurpZeY> tds5016: wine
[04:12] <tds5016> there's another one that came out.
[04:12] <petervk_> tds5016: vmware server
[04:12] <NigelS> TheCreationist: i.e. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[04:12] <petervk_> tds5016: virtual box
[04:12] <tds5016> yeah, I've used vmware.
[04:13] <nickrud> Pelo, no, the specific files are somewhere else, a sec, it'll come back to me
[04:13] <petervk_> tds5016: qemu
[04:13] <firebird611> ptn107: Ok, also, after installing nvidia-glx, do I need to restart x before Restricted Drivers Manager works correctly and stops saying restricted drivers aren't needed?
[04:13] <tds5016> there's an open source one that's pretty big now.
[04:13] <tds5016> kvm?
[04:13] <AJ--> :(( how can i make a dialer to connect to internet.. im using speedstream modem
[04:13] <petervk_> tds5016: all work and are free
[04:13] <Pelo> nickrud, I'll be reading the forum in the meantime
[04:13] <Stonerrob420> instead of using the new nvidia-glx just install envy and use.....it you got an old card it will find the right driver....I had the same problem
[04:13] <macogw> PurpZeY: the guides always say "sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes" i think
[04:13] <petervk_> tds5016: kvm uses qemu for the interface
[04:13] <PurpZeY> macogw: That would make sense...=)
[04:14] <NigelS> santims: also, to save some time - if the device is SATA then you will need to use the -d ata option for it to work
[04:14] <macogw> TheCreationist: they're not bought from something like napster, are they? because those are encrypted
[04:14] <ptn107> firebird611: i think you have to do a           sudo nvidia-glx-config enable     then restart X, maybe the computer.  Ive never just force restarted X
[04:14] <petervk_> tds5016: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
[04:14] <tds5016> kvm is wha tI was thinking of.
[04:14] <TheCreationist> macogw: No... just standard .wmv files
[04:15] <petervk_> tds5016: But for kvm you need a recent processor
[04:15] <firebird611> ptn107: Ok, I will give that a try then. Thanks. BRB and let you know if it works.
[04:15] <macogw> macogw: and you have all the gstreamer restricted codecs installed?
[04:15] <ptn107> firebird611: cool
[04:15] <Pelo> nickrud, could it be a script ?
[04:15] <nickrud> Pelo, no, it's an xml file somewhere
[04:15] <tds5016> oh snap... I still have vmware workstation installed :-/.
[04:15] <Ditiris> Bad page state in process 'modprobe'    <--- Anyone know how to debug that?
[04:15] <NigelS> TheCreationist: have you added the medibuntu repo?
[04:15] <tds5016> how do I run kvm now?
[04:16] <Pelo> nickrud, no I mean a nautilus script that is used to enable different backgrounds for different windows ?
[04:16] <TheCreationist> NigelS: No.
[04:16] <TheCreationist> NigelS: Is that a new requirement for Feisty?
[04:16] <nickrud> Pelo, no, this was around before scripting was added
[04:16] <macogw> TheCreationist: the PLF repos are gone, and theyve been replaced with medibuntu
[04:16] <NigelS> TheCreationist: well w32 has never ever been in ubuntu main
[04:16] <Pelo> nickrud, k, just an idea
[04:16] <nich0s> cycle 1
[04:17] <NigelS> TheCreationist: so you've always had to get them from somewhere, you can add them manually or for your convenience there is also the medibuntu repo
[04:17] <NigelS> TheCreationist: did you follow the link I sent you?
[04:17] <petervk_> tds5016: to run kvm see this how-to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
[04:17] <tds5016> thanks.
[04:17] <desi4life> can anyone explain sessions and why i had to create one titled Xgl
[04:17] <macogw> TheCreationist: "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and add this line to the end: deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ feisty free non-free
[04:17] <desi4life> is there a way i can have beryl working in my normal session?
[04:17] <desi4life> or i should say default session
[04:17] <macogw> TheCreationist: then in the terminal, do "wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -"
[04:18] <NigelS> TheCreationist: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[04:18] <TheCreationist> OKay, guys... yeah I followed the tutorial that was linked for me.  I didn't have to do that in Edgy so I was confused.  Thank you :)
[04:18] <tds5016> anyone know of anything that'll  let me interface with my nuvi 350?
[04:18] <petervk_> tds5016: But vmware server is a lot easier to setup and use
[04:18] <macogw> TheCreationist: you had to have added some other repo for edgy.  it might've been PLF.  did you do edgy using ubuntuguide.org by any chance?
[04:18] <robby> anyone want Ubuntu Bible and tuts?
[04:19] <petervk_> tds5016: just add this repo: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu feisty-commercial main
[04:19] <mrsno__> nn
[04:19] <nickrud> Pelo, it's frustrating; one of the first things I do in a new install is link the patterns from openoffice to /usr/share/nautilus/patterns, so I can use those.
[04:19] <firebird611> ptn107: Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem.
[04:19] <petervk_> tds5016: and apt-get install vmware-server
[04:19] <TheCreationist> macogw: I don't think so.  But I know there were restricted repos I added for Edgy.
[04:19] <Flackrum> hello folks, in ubuntu 7.04 (gnome) is there a command line switch to maximize a program when it starts? As an example, I use taskset in my program shortcuts for choosing cores, it would be nice to also use the shortcut to open a windowe'd program mazimized, thanks
[04:19] <TheCreationist> macogw: I thought they were Ubuntu supported, but apparently I was wrong ;)
[04:19] <petervk_> tds5016: You'll need to restart, but its really simple after that
[04:19] <Mirdan> how do i connect to a channel on so and so website?
[04:19] <PurpZeY> TheCreationist: They are proprietary...that's why
[04:19] <ptn107> firebird611: i remember you saying something about your xorg.conf
[04:19] <macogw> TheCreationist: technically not legal in the US so canonical doesnt touch it
[04:19] <petervk_> tds5016: Installs an icon in your menu and everything
[04:20] <iShock> Could there be an error with Ubuntu if I can't play movie files, but a command from the CLI works?
[04:20] <Pelo> nickrud, don'T worry about it ,  I just thought it would be a nice idea to have my xp folders in a different colour so I would easily notice
[04:20] <firebird611> ptn107: Yes, at the moment, there isn't one.
[04:20] <TheCreationist> macogw: No, I understand that.     But that's a debate that will never end ;)
[04:20] <tds5016> petervk_, I've already got vmware installed. I just wanted to try out kvm :-).,
[04:20] <tds5016> I don't really need to. I'm just curious.
[04:20] <ptn107> firebird611: that may have something to do with it
[04:20] <nickrud> Pelo it is nice. I recommend it ;)
[04:20] <petervk_> tds5016: ahh
[04:20] <petervk_> ok, sorry
[04:21] <Pelo> nickrud,  a recommendation is not exactly what I need to get it done ;)
[04:21] <n2diy> Mirdan: I'd like to know that too!
[04:21] <iShock> Could there be an error with Ubuntu if I can't play movie files, but a command from the CLI works?
[04:21] <petervk_> tds5016: ok, sorry
[04:21] <ptn107> firebird611: from what i read you have to manually change your device from   'nv
[04:21] <ptn107> firebird611: from what i read you have to manually change your device from   'nv'   to 'nvidia'
[04:21] <tds5016> peter_office, no problem. I appreciate the help!
[04:21] <NigelS> iShock: what movie files and what command?
[04:21] <petervk_> tds5016: I would try kvm myself but I just have an old p4 2.4 ghz
[04:21] <iShock> NigelS: ogg files and lemme find it
[04:21] <DisabledDuck> whats a good FTP program?
[04:21] <Mirdan> would it be ur /join #channel?
[04:21] <Mirdan> url*
[04:21] <Flackrum> I like filezilla for ftp, personally
[04:21] <robby> Ubuntu Bible for dl
[04:21] <tds5016> peter_office, don't feel bad. I've got a lappy with a 1.8 gig centrino.
[04:21] <iShock> NigelS: ogg files and mplayer -vo x11 out.ogg
[04:22] <firebird611> ptn107: So I probably should try and create one and see what happens. The reason there isn't one is before the PC would restart a few times and then get stuck at a black screen and removing xorg.conf solved that. I will go make a xorg.conf file and get back to you as to if it works. Thanks for your help.
[04:22] <n2diy>  Mirdan, you might try  /join #irc, but there are only four users there, including me.
[04:22] <TheCreationist> Hmm... even after installing all the extra codecs I can think of, all .WMV files still won't play.  MPlayer says the file is encrypted...
[04:22] <petervk_> DisabledDuck: nautilus has ftp support
[04:22] <NigelS> iShock: well ogg ought to work out of the box - and totem (Movie Player) won't play it?
[04:22] <ptn107> firebird611: sure, dont know how much im helping , im a linux newb
[04:22] <iShock> NigelS: Nope, it opens, then closes instantly.
[04:22] <petervk_> DisabledDuck: just hit ctrl-L to activate the location bar
[04:22] <ptn107> firebird611: have only been using ubuntu for two months, but im already not going back
[04:22] <petervk_> DisabledDuck: and type in ftp://username@server/
[04:23] <firebird611> Is it a problem if when reconfiguring X, it lists Generic Video Card instead of the name of the card?
[04:23] <tds5016> ptn107, yep. I made the switch about 5 years ago. it's funny how that works.
[04:23] <desi4life> how do i do the cube
[04:23] <desi4life> with beryl
[04:23] <nickrud> Pelo, I put grep to work on terracotta , it's a pattern I've used. Be a bit
[04:23] <tds5016> ctrl + alt + move the mouse.
[04:23] <Pelo> nickrud, hug ???
[04:23] <Flackrum> anyone know of a command line switch for making GUI programs run maximized in gnome?
[04:23] <iShock> NigelS: Nope, it opens, then closes instantly.
[04:24] <firebird611> ptn107: I have tried and installed various different distributions, but I always come back to Ubuntu.
[04:24] <desi4life> nothing happens when i do that
[04:24] <nickrud> Pelo, maybe if I find your answer
[04:24] <Pelo> nickrud, thanks for looking but don'T worry about it
[04:24] <petervk_> Flackrum: I don't know of any
[04:24] <ptn107> firebird611: yeah i wish i would have found ub sooner
[04:24] <NigelS> iShock: hmm odd, is this a fresh install - have you changed anything?
[04:24] <robby> me to firebird
[04:24] <petervk_> Flackrum: I don't think metacity supports this
[04:25] <firebird611> ptn107: Same here.
[04:25] <Flackrum> petervk_: ok thanks, it's appreciated
[04:25] <iShock> NigelS: I have had some odd problems lately, when I got to log in, I chaned session thingy to GNOME.
[04:25] <n2diy> firebird611: I stopped "testing" when I found Ubuntu, I've found a home for my computer. :)
[04:25] <letsgo> Hi there - really goofed up my task bar - nothing responds when you left click on it -- any suggestions
[04:25] <NigelS> iShock: when you got to log in?
[04:25] <iShock> Yes
[04:25] <iShock> Where you type username and password
[04:25] <NigelS> iShock: I mean what do you mean?
[04:25] <Flackrum> petervk_: that would probably be why I couldn't find anything googling heh
[04:25] <firebird611> How do I find the correct Monitor ranges for my monitor.  It's kind of a bug in metacity. Doesn't remember where the windows were.
[04:26] <n2diy> firebird611: Google for your monitors make and model number.
[04:26] <Magnus-swe> Remove khisanth
[04:26] <iShock> NigelS: It stops doing anything and splash screen doesn't load, making Ubuntu not load. However, I was about to try and restart, should I?
[04:27] <letsgo> petervk - yes everything - resetting everything to default - etc. etc. - it's really hosed....
[04:27] <firebird611> n2diy: I have tried that already and come up empty handed, I can give it another try though. Its a Westinghouse LCM-22w2
[04:27] <petervk_> letsgo: crappy
[04:27] <ptn107> firebird611: i think    sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg         rebuilds xorg.conf   am I correct??
[04:27] <jtmoulia> yo, I have a problem where I have keys bound to volume up and down, and it seems like something is changing, but the volume isn't actually changing... any help would be sweet
[04:27] <petervk_> letsgo: what were you doing when it crapped out?
[04:27] <Magnus-swe> #xchat denies removing a function that discloaked the fleanode cloak
[04:27] <liox> compiz fusion running ./Compiz error:  Fatal: Failed test: texture_from_pixmap support
[04:27] <liox> Checks indicate that it's impossible to start compiz on your system.
[04:27] <iShock> fleanode?
[04:27] <letsgo> yea tell me - not sure where i went south but? thought i'd ask
[04:27] <NigelS> iShock: what do you mean by restart? reboot or reinstall? and did you change anything before this started happening?
[04:28] <Flackrum> petervk_: that's unfortunate, I love being able to mod my shortcuts to get a program to do what I want at the outset.. small efficiency loss though, overall. Thanks again, I'm off to enjoy learning/tweaking.
[04:28] <petervk_> liox: sounds like your drivers don't support compiz
[04:28] <iShock> reboot, and no, I did not.

[04:28] <ubotu> Magnus-swe: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:28] <bluebanana> I'm following http://thewebsbest.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=121&Itemid=30. I can't find /etc/inittab. Where is the inittab file?
[04:28] <Magnus-swe> God is dead, we rule!
[04:28] <petervk_> Flackrum: other window managers may support this, you could check out openbox
[04:29] <Magnus-swe> iShock: lol
[04:29] <Magnus-swe> iShock: do you code anything ?
[04:29] <n2diy> firebird611: That's an LCD monitor, scan ranges shouldn't be critical on it?
[04:29] <Magnus-swe> iShock: Nothing ?
[04:29] <iShock> NigelS: Reboot, should I?
[04:29] <iShock> Magnus-swe: PHP and mIRC.
[04:29] <Magnus-swe> iShock: Hehe, fun
[04:29] <NigelS> iShock: has a reboot changed anything before?
[04:29] <Yeti> How do you create root on ubuntu?
[04:30] <Magnus-swe> iShock: so, no then ?
[04:30] <firebird611> n2diy: Ok. So if I don't get them correct, it won't cause me not to eventually get to 1680x1050 resolution?
[04:30] <iShock> NigelS: Well, TBH, the last time I did is when problem started...I shall try it again though
[04:30] <NigelS> Yeti: you prob don't have a need to - ubuntu uses sudo for accessing root functions
[04:30] <Yeti> NigelS, I'm well aware, but I come from debian, so... xD
[04:30] <Magnus-swe> iShock: not like you code kde or gnome or anything .. maybe hardware drivers, no ?
[04:30] <robby> I wonder how much it will cost a Kinkos to print out 931pages..?  # Off Topic
[04:30] <Yeti> I'm just more comfortable that way. Can you answer the question?
[04:30] <shiester_miester> gday everyone
[04:30] <petervk_> Yeti: You can use sudo for most things. to set the root password run "sudo passwd"
[04:30] <NigelS> Yeti: if you want a root term just type sudo -s, alternatively you can usee the passwd command
[04:30] <n2diy> firebird611: You might not get the correct resolution, but, you won't let the smoke out of it, like you could with a CRT.
[04:31] <shiester_miester> whats up / whats going down / etc
[04:31] <liox> petervk_: nvidia legacy suport compiz fusion ?
[04:31] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: im angy
[04:31] <shiester_miester> orly?
[04:31] <shiester_miester> why is that, Magnus-swe ?
[04:32] <petervk_> liox: I don't think so
[04:32] <fishbuntu> first sentence ever typed in xchat
[04:32] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: Think about this: lamers that doesnt even thouch code kick the coders
[04:32] <nich0s> I love Linux. :P
[04:32] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: We sit idly by :=)
[04:32] <shiester_miester> Magnus-swe, thats definitely something to be annoyed about
[04:32] <shiester_miester> who's been kicking the coders?
[04:32] <n2diy> Yeti, so just create a root user like you normally would with Debian?
[04:32] <petervk_> liox: you can use this script to ensure your running the latest nvidia drivers: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[04:33] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: Yes, and time is running out for offenders
[04:33] <shiester_miester> :(
[04:33] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: 2 weeks and t-1.3 hours
[04:33] <Magnus-swe> then freenode is gone
[04:33] <crdlb> petervk_, no
[04:33] <crdlb> liox, you'd have to use Xgl
[04:33] <liox> petervk_: ok
[04:33] <shiester_miester> ??
[04:33] <petervk_> Yeti: root user exists in default ubuntu. to set the password run "sudo passwd"
[04:34] <crdlb> liox, but if your card isn't at least a geforce 2 it probably won't work
[04:34] <Yeti> petervk_, thanks :)
[04:34] <fishbuntu> freenode isn't disappearing is it?
[04:34] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: We.. who code for others you know... are upset
[04:34] <petervk_> crdlb: pardon?
[04:34] <liox> crdlb: is gforce 4
[04:34] <PurpZeY> Magnus-swe: What are you talking about? Can you elaborate?
[04:34] <Magnus-swe> We discard our free time to please you and what do we get... nothing
[04:34] <crdlb> liox, that's not legacy
[04:34] <petervk_> ok, gtg.
[04:35] <Saint_Belmont> Got a question.
[04:35] <liox> crdlb: ok
[04:35] <robby> yeah, is there a superuser mode on ubuntu?
[04:35] <crdlb> liox, you can use nvidia-glx
[04:35] <shiester_miester> Magnus-swe, yeah i must admit i have no idea what you are talking about
[04:35] <crdlb> which will work
[04:35] <liox> crdb ok =)
[04:35] <Saint_Belmont> How do I set it up where people can sign into my box?
[04:35] <crdlb> liox, you cannot use nvidia-glx-new though
[04:35] <n2diy> Magnus-swe: we do the same thing here!
[04:35] <Saint_Belmont> What is that called so I can look it up.
[04:35] <Magnus-swe> PurpZeY: Let me show you... go into #gentoo and say "oh crap, i forgot to add ... make something up here"
[04:35] <n2diy> Saint_Belmont: kiosk?
[04:35] <NigelS> Saint_Belmont: do you mean remotely? i.e. through SSH?
[04:36] <Saint_Belmont> Yeah, like telnet into it.
[04:36] <shiester_miester> Magnus-swe, i get the idea of lamers insulting coders when they have nothing to do with code, but it sounds as though you are referring to a specific incident
[04:36] <Saint_Belmont> With their own user and space and whatnot.
[04:36] <liox> crdlb: what removing nvidia legacy?
[04:36] <NigelS> Saint_Belmont: install the openssh server package
[04:36] <Magnus-swe> PurpZeY: Ill disregard coding as ive done since 1997 ?
[04:36] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester,
[04:36] <Magnus-swe> ..
[04:36] <PurpZeY> Magnus-swe: I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about...or who you are speaking about...Can you just say what the deal is? I am not trying to be nasty...I just don't understand.
[04:36] <robby> Thats strange.  Why can't I use Superuser?
[04:36] <Pelo> nickrud, thanks for you support, I have to go,  see you around
[04:37] <NigelS> Saint_Belmont: you can add users using adduser
[04:37] <Magnus-swe> PurpZeY: not for your ears then
[04:37] <PurpZeY> Magnus-swe: I'm not sure anyone understands.
[04:37] <nickrud> Pelo, no problem, good luck.
[04:37] <NigelS> Magnus-swe: in fact, this isn't really the place for such ramblings
[04:37] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: Evil eye!
[04:37] <crdlb> Magnus-swe, please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:37] <shiester_miester> Magnus-swe, I'm a programmer myself and i definitely understand how frustrating it is when people diss your code when they cant code themselves
[04:38] <n2diy> ! offtopic
[04:38] <shiester_miester> crdlb, sorry
[04:38] <shiester_miester> yes yes we heard you the first time
[04:38] <Magnus-swe> So ill not code for you anymore based on a few idiots :) /naah
[04:38] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:38] <Magnus-swe> You rock, keep it up
[04:38] <eagl313> Would someone be so kind to help me
[04:38] <firebird612> I am back with no xorg.conf file. This time, x failed to start. "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module."
[04:38] <PurpZeY> eagl313: Describe the problem.
[04:38] <NigelS> eagl313: ask away
[04:39] <eagl313> Im trying to get an ELO Touch screen working
[04:39] <fisherhome> you don't need to ask to ask, just ask
[04:39] <eagl313> before I install LinuxMCE
[04:39] <Magnus-swe> PurpZeY: youre very young... keep it so
[04:39] <tritium> Magnus-swe: please, don't rant here.  There's #ubuntu-offtopic for that.
[04:39] <n2diy> PurpZeY: you'll be thinking a long time about that?
[04:39] <eagl313> I've got my dual monitors 1projector 1elotouchscreenlcd
[04:39] <Magnus-swe> tritium: then go there
[04:39] <eagl313> sorry for the run on text there
[04:39] <tritium> Magnus-swe: you fail to understand that _you_ are the one ranting, not me.
[04:40] <Magnus-swe> tritium: stop ranting sir/mam
[04:40] <PurpZeY> n2diy: Frankly I just think it's inaccurate ramblings. But, he said something about freenode closing, something I never heard anything about.
[04:40] <NigelS> PurpZeY: don't feed him
[04:40] <Magnus-swe> tritium: youre surely not coding are you ?
[04:40] <firebird612> It also said /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko No such file or directory.  He followed the instructions on this webpage: http://softcoded.net/eduard/elousb.html || but they seem incomplete, could anyone show him what to do next?
[04:42] <nickrud> j1tters, I gave up on beryl, ati sucks
[04:42] <robby> su command anyone??
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo su
[04:42] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: look at whoos not ubuntu
[04:42] <j1tters> yeh thats why i didnt but ati
[04:42] <j1tters> er buy
[04:42] <shiester_miester> Magnus-swe, who is ubuntu?  what are you talking about?
[04:42] <j1tters> nvidia here.
[04:42] <robby> jack:  ask for psswrd and i never set a psswrd
[04:42] <PurpZeY> j1tters: Describe the problem, and if we can't help perhaps someone in #ubuntu-effects can
[04:42] <firebird612> ptn107: 2.6.20-16. Also, just an FYI I was firebird611, but when I joined the chat again, that was taken. I have firebird619 registered, but for some reason it won't let me use it.
[04:42] <nickrud>  /ignore Magnus-swe
[04:42] <NigelS> eagl313: what stage goes wrong following that guide?
[04:42] <nickrud> oops ;P
[04:42] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: Some are, some arent
[04:43] <stone-unix> fishbuntu: when i boot into 7.10, it keeps scrolling warning message: device-mapper, device lookup failed.
[04:43] <stone-unix> like that
[04:43] <shiester_miester> ubuntu is an operating system...not a group of people
[04:43] <scizzo-> j1tters: what is the problem with beryl for you?
[04:43] <ptn107> firebird612: o
[04:43] <stone-unix> anybody help?
[04:43] <eagl313> Well I've copied the binary to the appropriate folder but Im really just not sure to go from there
[04:43] <fishbuntu> why'd u ask that specifically to me?
[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> robby you never set ANY password
[04:43] <shiester_miester> j1tters, what bug are you encountering?
[04:43] <NigelS> eagl313: one mo
[04:43] <shiester_miester> is it the black window bug?
[04:43] <nickrud> stone-unix, try #ubuntu+1
[04:43] <j1tters> nvidia 7300. running dualview. no probs. trying to enablle beryl. installed glx new. when i switch to beryl i cannot move any windows
[04:43] <eagl313> My device manager shows the usb ELO device as an imput device
[04:43] <hero> the *word* ubuntu refers to a community, though
[04:43] <j1tters> sheesh. that bad eh?
[04:43] <firebird612> ptn107: I'm just having problems all around tonight, drivers won't work, internet goes off, and my username is taken, what next.    lol
[04:44] <n2diy> shiester_miester: I disagree with that, there are 1025 of use here now, no?
[04:44] <Magnus-swe> shiester_miester: You know my wings arent easily broken and those blongs to GNU/Linux since 1997
[04:44] <j1tters> all windows become static.
[04:44] <scizzo-> j1tters: try using beryl-manager
[04:44] <eagl313> Anyone here know much about LinuxMCE?
[04:44] <robby> Jack:  just for my account, not the su account and i tried my psswrd but nogo
[04:44] <stone-unix> nickrud: thanks
[04:44] <newbie> Hy 6/|9 TyT i Cnam
[04:44] <ptn107> firebird612: yeah bum luck
[04:44] <shiester_miester> Magnus-swe, stop saying random things, please either start making sense or leave
[04:44] <Jack_Sparrow> odd but I gotta go..
[04:44] <j1tters> yeh yeh. done that. tryed beryl manager. loaded emerald. we're past that.
[04:44] <scizzo-> j1tters: it might be that you have not enabled a window manager...beryl is not the manger itself...
[04:44] <shiester_miester> n2diy, huh?    Incidentally, I have Compiz Fusion running perfectly on mine... didn't take much either ;)
[04:46] <eagl313> thats as far as Ive gotten
[04:46] <shiester_miester> Magnus-swe, so what?  and we all love him for it, too
[04:46] <Magnus-swe> nickrud: Who am i ;)
[04:46] <scizzo-> Magnus-swe: what is the point of all this?
[04:46] <j1tters> i can move the window if i right click on the tb icon. but thats not a solution
[04:46] <shiester_miester> if i wasnt for him, none of this would have happened
[04:46] <NigelS> ptn107: you're not trying to install your own nvidia module are you? it's in the repos
[04:46] <j1tters> yes running fiesty.
[04:46] <shiester_miester> -_-
[04:46] <TheCreationist> j1tters: I understand the problem... I had the same problem.
[04:46] <shiester_miester> what was up with that guy
[04:47] <robby> LOL ----> sudo su -l <name> ----> psswrd
[04:47] <j1tters> core 2 due. . 4 gig ram
[04:47] <TheCreationist> j1tters: Are you against using Compiz Fusion?
[04:47] <n2diy> nich0s: :)
[04:47] <shiester_miester> oh well
[04:47] <PurpZeY> shiester_miester: Didn't you figure it out...That was Linus
[04:47] <j1tters> 340g vid card
[04:47] <firebird612> ptn107: Well, something must be wrong somewhere on my PC.
[04:47] <PurpZeY> We were in the company of gods
[04:47] <scizzo-> j1tters: hmmm
[04:47] <shiester_miester> lmao
[04:47] <shiester_miester> linus has become somewhat of a grumpy old man
[04:47] <shiester_miester> if that was the case
[04:47] <scizzo-> j1tters: what happens when you run: emerald --replace
[04:47] <scizzo-> j1tters: ?
[04:47] <ptn107> firebird612:  try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto    under the section 'run autodetect script again'
[04:47] <NigelS> eagl313: I mean which version of ubuntu? that binary on that site is designed for dapper and the latest release is feisty - you might need to compile your own which means getting the headers for xorg and creating a build environment which is easy to do then you need to run its compile script
[04:47] <j1tters> TheCreationist tried compiz i can only get a horizontal cube . ie like 4 horo screeen wipes
[04:48] <shiester_miester> j1tters, you can change that setting
[04:48] <TheCreationist> j1tters: Join me in #ubuntu-effects ... it's a much better way to get help for these kinds of things.
[04:48] <j1tters> i run emerald replace it hangs
[04:48] <ptn107> firebird612: other than that i dont know, im getting to the end of my newly found but limited knowlegde of linux
[04:48] <Tim__> is there an ubuntu chat for free chat?
[04:48] <NigelS> j1tters: that's the wall effect, just load the config tool and turn on the cube
[04:48] <shiester_miester> j1tters, its called the desktop plane
[04:48] <TheCreationist> Tim__: #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:48] <shiester_miester> j1tters, if you enable the cube you will get a proper, nice looking cube
[04:48] <firebird612> ptn107: I have tried that site as well for help. Thanks though.
[04:48] <j1tters> no offence but ubuntu effects is about dead. but thanks
[04:48] <j1tters> tried there first
[04:48] <robby> I have Ubuntu Bible.pdf if anyone wants a copy.  Everything covered
[04:48] <Tim__> TheCreationist: thanks
[04:48] <shiester_miester> robby, wha?
[04:48] <j1tters> cube is on!
[04:48] <shiester_miester> ubuntu bible? what could that be?
[04:48] <j1tters> jesus.
[04:48] <ptn107> firebird612: reinstall??
[04:48] <j1tters> cube is on
[04:49] <TheCreationist> j1tters: I'm there, though.  It's better to talk about these things there instead of in here.
[04:49] <scizzo-> j1tters: have you followed any instructions somewhere for this?
[04:49] <j1tters> im already joined
[04:49] <robby> why its a pdf
[04:49] <j1tters> YES. followed the widi
[04:49] <firebird612> ptn107: Yes, that is just what I was trying now. Have to restart yet again. BRB to let you know.
[04:49] <j1tters> er wiki
[04:49] <ptn107> firebird612: cool
[04:49] <robby> covering ubuntu
[04:49] <scizzo-> j1tters: which one?
[04:49] <tay> Hey, anyone able to help me get my Nvidia Card to work?  I used instructions at      http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty   , and when I log in to finish and configure, I get the "Cannot display this video mode" black screen on my moniter
[04:50] <j1tters> the one recommended in ubuntu-effects
[04:50] <robby> 931 pages
[04:50] <fnder> when i run "glxinfo | grep [anything] " in console i get message saying X error of failed request: Badalloc (insufficient resources), any know how to fix?
[04:50] <ptn107> can anyone tell me how to register my nickname here?
[04:50] <Slasher`> ptn107 To REGISTER a nickname type /msg nickserv REGISTER <password> <e-mail> Note: password must be atleast 5 characters long.
[04:50] <ptn107> nevermind
[04:50] <shiester_miester> robby, anything useful in this pdf?
[04:51] <scizzo-> j1tters: to me it sounds like beryl-manager is not working correct
[04:51] <tay> Hey, anyone able to help me get my Nvidia Card to work?  I used instructions at      http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty   , and when I log in to finish and configure, I get the "Cannot display this video mode" black screen on my moniter.  Any help? I am on aim (madskateskillz) if you can help me one-on-one.
[04:51] <robby> well its helping me.  its 931 pages im sure there is something of use in it
[04:51] <e4g13> Ok sorry now that Im back and on an IRC client that actually works
[04:51] <paganjew> has anyone used sqlite or another relational database for personal use, like personal accounting, addresses etc.?
[04:51] <scizzo-> j1tters: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_Beryl_.28Nvidia.29
[04:51] <e4g13> Who can help me get my touch screen working as an input?
[04:51] <fnder> when i run "glxinfo | grep [anything] " in console i get message saying X error of failed request: Badalloc (insufficient resources), any know how to fix?
[04:51] <scizzo-> j1tters: you followed that?
[04:52] <paganjew> if so i am wondering if this is feasible
[04:52] <tay> Hey, anyone able to help me get my Nvidia Card to work?  I used instructions at      http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty   , and when I log in to finish and configure, I get the "Cannot display this video mode" black screen on my moniter.  Any help? I am on aim (madskateskillz) if you can help me one-on-one.
[04:52] <j1tters> no i i didnt
[04:53] <j1tters> yeh i got it
[04:53] <NigelS> tay: you used the restricted driver manager etc to install it automatically from the repos? that should work - if you check /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the console is a video mode that your monitor can't support listed there?
[04:53] <firebird611> ptn107: It is all working now. Restricted Drivers Manager is correct, compiz fusion is working, and awn is working. Only thing I need now is 1680x1050 resolution.
[04:53] <fnder> when i run "glxinfo | grep [anything] " in console i get message saying X error of failed request: Badalloc (insufficient resources), any know how to fix?
[04:53] <scizzo-> j1tters: well...when I installed and followed instructions on other sites I had problem with the same stuff as you....once I did the things on that site it worked without problems
[04:54] <NigelS> firebird611: you will have to add that manually to xorg.conf I believe
[04:54] <PhilDick> anybody have much experience with the joydev module?
[04:54] <robby> Went to the library and got O'Reilly Linux pocket guide.  Kinda useful when starting out.
[04:54] <ptn107> firebird611: backup your xorg.conf
[04:54] <scizzo-> tay: you are using the right resolution and so on for the card etc?
[04:54] <ptn107> firebird611: in case
[04:54] <jzilla> hello friends - i just installed 7.04. upon logging into gnome, it starts to load everything, but when it gets to Natulis(i think) it stops and just goes to a white screen with my mouse cursor, preventing me from ever getting to my desktop.
[04:54] <TheCreationist> I love it when people ask for help and then refuse to take your advice lol
[04:54] <PurpZeY> robby: I have that book, it's helpful
[04:54] <Nyle> is there full urdu support in ubuntu yet?
[04:54] <tay> NigelS:  I did use restricted driver manager, and uh I cannot log in to change the video mode so im kinda stuck
[04:54] <firebird611> NigelS: I have tried adding it manually, it doesn't work. I have tried modlines and so forth, but nothing works.
[04:54] <n2diy> robby: http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.gz
[04:55] <NigelS> tay: ctrl-alt-f1 gets you to a prompt
[04:55] <scizzo-> j1tters: my suggestion is to start of from scratch with beryl and emerald...following that websites instructions
[04:55] <NigelS> tay: you will have to do this the old fashioned way
[04:55] <firebird611> ptn107: with the problems I have had, I better back it up 3 or 4 times. lol
[04:55] <PhilDick> joydev joystick kernel module.  anyone done much with it?
[04:55] <NigelS> firebird611: the res is simply unavail or it tries to set it and fails?
[04:56] <ptn107> firebird611: yeah but at least your starting fresh
[04:56] <NigelS> firebird611: have you altered the file before/know what it should look like?
[04:56] <tay> NigelS:  I got to a prompt, and did a sudo nvidia-settings, but it is unable to bring up a panel of course, and I can't change res
[04:56] <DK_II> I have an ATI RAGE Mobility chipset in my laptop, is it possible to install drivers for this in Ubuntu?
[04:56] <macogw> what do i do if partway through installing from the live cd, ubiquity segfaults and i cant get to /var/log/syslog because it says access denied on vi and gedit and "could not open linux terminal" for nano and i cant open places > computer because they just automatically shut down and if i mouseover anything in the notification area, all of the text is rectangles and i cant run anything from the applications menu because it just errors?
[04:56] <j1tters> that replace doesnt work
[04:57] <fnder> when i run "glxinfo | grep [anything] " in console i get message saying X error of failed request: Badalloc (insufficient resources), any know how to fix?
[04:57] <scizzo-> j1tters: not talking about the replace....I am talking about the whole thing about installing it
[04:57] <scizzo-> j1tters: to me it seems that emerald is not started
[04:57] <TheCreationist> macogw: Did you run the diagnostic to check the CD for defects?
[04:57] <PhilDick> I'd start cursing, macogw...
[04:57] <NigelS> tay: yes, I said the old fashioned way ;) you need to edit the file manually
[04:57] <TheCreationist> macogw: Other than that, try it again.  If it still doesn't work, you could try to Alternate CD
[04:57] <firebird611> NigelS: I know it can get to that resolution. When I delete the xorg.conf file, it is at that resolution, but I need the xorg.conf file. Also, other distrobutions detect and use that resolution out-of-the-box. I am not familiar enough with how xorg.conf should look for it to be working correctly. Could you help me?
[04:58] <scizzo-> j1tters: for example you can get a small choice about restarting the window manager and so on when you have typed beryl-manager
[04:58] <macogw> ive tried over 10 times
[04:58] <macogw> 3 live cds and 1 alternate
[04:58] <NigelS> tay: nano should be a simple enough editor. log in and type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:58] <macogw> all checksum perfectly for the iso and the disk
[04:58] <robby> n2diy  thats awsome!  its even in pdf format
[04:58] <macogw> and the "check for defects" says theyre perfect
[04:58] <PhilDick> what kind of hardware, macogw?
[04:58] <TheCreationist> macogw: Did you check the CDs for errors?  Also, be sure you burn the CDs at about 12-14x.... anything faster has a tendancy to create errors.
[04:58] <tay> NigelS:  Great, I was just about ask what to type, okay, im off to try it, thanks guys
[04:58] <n2diy> robby:  :)
[04:59] <_C_> I have uspalsh and the ubuntu usplash theme installed on a fresh install of fiesty, yet I don't get my boot up image loading bar thing. What is the fix for this bug?
[04:59] <tay> err NigelS
[04:59] <PhilDick> So nobody has any advice on configuring the joydev kernel modules for gamepads?
[04:59] <macogw> PhilDick: 100% linux compatible hardware. ran dapper and edgy before, runs feisty now through an upgrade from edgy because thats the only way to install feisty on it
[04:59] <robby> bookmark that
[04:59] <NigelS> firebird611: yeah, the changeover period between xorg just working and needing to be told what to do is frustrating :) if you paste your file to pastebin we can see if there's something wrong
[04:59] <yagami_> does anyone know how to specify a style in .qt/qtrc ?
[04:59] <PhilDick> so this is an upgrade macogw?
[04:59] <n2diy> robby:  But it is dated, but most of the stuff in there still applies today.
[04:59] <macogw> TheCreationist: i used 3 live and 1 alternate checked cds and isos for errors and then did the built in check for errors. my cd drive and hard drive are fine. they can do dapper or edgy
[04:59] <Jester45> hi, i have a mp3 player with an SD card in it but i cant find the SD. the mp3player mounts just fine lsusb doesnt say anything about the card
[04:59] <TheCreationist> macogw: If it upgraded fine, what's the problem?
[04:59] <Jimmi1> how do I open a program with settings that specify 16x antialiasing?
[04:59] <macogw> youre not listening!
[05:00] <macogw> the problem is that the install disks DONT FARKING WORK
[05:00] <_C_> Any one?
[05:00] <TheCreationist> macogw: Calm down... I know that.  I'm trying to figure out why.
[05:00] <macogw> i have to install an old one and upgrade because it is IMPOSSIBLE to fresh install
[05:00] <robby> That and the Ubuntu Bible should answer any/all questions and then some
[05:00] <TheCreationist> macogw: Don't yell at the help.
[05:00] <PhilDick> I've never upgraded an ubuntu system, always re-installed.
[05:00] <macogw> i went over this for hours a few weeks ago and finally installed edgy and upgraded it
[05:00] <firebird611> NigelS: Ok Thanks. Should I paste it how it is now, or should I add the 1680x1050 resolution first. Also, what is the pastebin url, haven't used it for a while.
[05:00] <macogw> PhilDick: i was *trying* to fresh install but i CANT. i was forced to upgrade because it is the only way for the install to work
[05:01] <TheCreationist> macogw: Then you're obviously doing something wrong.  Yelling at us won't help you solve it.
[05:01] <_C_> =(
[05:01] <NigelS> firebird611: http://pastebin.com/ - just show what you have
[05:01] <macogw> ive installed ubuntu about 20 times just fine
[05:01] <macogw> the computer works fine with it if i use dapper or edgy to install
[05:01] <firebird611> NigelS: Ok, will do that.   A trout?  Not in years ;)
[05:02] <PhilDick> Does anyone on now use a USB gamepad with Ubuntu?
[05:02] <firebird611> NigelS: http://pastebin.com/942957
[05:02] <PurpZeY> TheCreationist: I got a "new memo" from the server?
[05:02] <crimsun> heh.
[05:02] <nalioth> PurpZeY: no, it's a trap.
[05:02] <SKaTEBoY-99> hi all fri
[05:02] <macogw> the alternate cd and the live cd both fail miserably on my computer
[05:02] <TheCreationist> PurpZeY: Ah.  Yeah, I got that too.    Maybe some obscure hardware that Ubuntu doesn't fully support in Feisty?
[05:04] <robby> lol  wallops
[05:04] <macogw> TheCreationist: it worked perfectly in edgy.  it's intel graphics, intel chipset, intel wireless
[05:04] <macogw> TheCreationist: its the most supported computer ever
[05:04] <PhilDick> macogw, I certainly don't envy you, but I have no idea what's causing your problem.
[05:04] <macogw> TheCreationist: and once feisty's on it via upgrade, its fine
[05:04] <TheCreationist> macogw: I had a hell of a time installing Feisty on my friends computer.... basically the same problem - random errors halfway through copying.  I ended up just unplugging the IDE cable from the CD drive and plugging it back in.... worked flawlessly after that.    I have no other advice for you, unfortunately.
[05:05] <PhilDick> Last try, nobody on uses a USB gamepad with Ubuntu?
[05:05] <osxdude|palmTX> You know what's weird? I have similar ethernet adapter cards on both my laptop and desktop. Only my desktop shows the adapter...
[05:06] <TheCreationist> PhilDick: I don't know of any Linux games that I'd want to use my gamepad for.... sorry ;)
[05:06] <macogw> n2diy: what? im trying to run the feisty installer with debugging as instructed by the ubiquity channel, but once it segfaults, it destroys the session so badly that i cant actually retrieve the logs to file the bug
[05:06] <mark____> i'm having a problem with fglrx.. If i have firefox running and attempt to scroll the page down nothing happens but if I resize the window or right click away the page data updates.
[05:06] <IndyGunFreak> macogw: supposedly there's pretty severe speed issues installing feisty that way
[05:06] <PhilDick> TheCreationist: I'm playing with emulation...
[05:06] <SKaTEBoY-99> i want to know any special script or clone script,how can i get?plz help
[05:06] <firebird611> NigelS: Westinghouse LCM-22w2
[05:06] <nixnoob> hey anyone know why i would have problems getting with dhcp on a wireless network?
[05:06] <TheCreationist> PhilDick: Ah.  Dosbox is fricken sweet, isn't it? ;)  Or are you talking more like console emulation?
[05:06] <Nutubuntu> I also had errors during my Feisty install; ended up running the Minimal install, which worked fine...
[05:06] <osxdude|palmTX> I'm not on my lunix comp.
[05:06] <n2diy> macogw: ok, I thought you might have been playing with Gutsy, GL.
[05:07] <robby> wallops
[05:07] <robby> thats funny
[05:07] <shiester_miester> lol u guys know that magnus is still ranting
[05:07] <TheCreationist> macogw: Nutubuntu brings up a decent point.  Have you tried running "Install a text based" system from the Alternate CD?  Again, worth a shot.
[05:07] <PhilDick> TheCreationist: NES console for the moment... I can't get it to recognize holding a button down, it just gives a short keypress.
[05:07] <shiester_miester> that guy who got kicked before
[05:07] <shiester_miester> he started whinging in a privmsg to me
[05:07] <shiester_miester> so im just going along with it
[05:07] <n2diy> shiester_miester: where?
[05:07] <Hobbsee> shiester_miester: and me, and another guy.  just use /ignore
[05:07] <nixnoob> dhclient goes on until it gets no offers and then tries an old lease and it works despite the address being out of the correct range
[05:07] <shiester_miester> really?
[05:07] <shiester_miester> heheh
[05:07] <TheCreationist> PhilDick: Sorry, I can't help you... but good luck.  I'm definitely a fan of older console emulation myself ;)
[05:07] <macogw> TheCreationist: that works but then if i "sudo apt-cdrom add" and try to install ubuntu-desktop it says there's a million unresolved dependencies
[05:07] <shiester_miester> hes quite amusing ;)
[05:08] <shiester_miester> he was talking to you too?
[05:08] <klobster> what are the gnome libs I need for program compatability with KDE?
[05:08] <tritium> shiester_miester: and to me
[05:08] <Hobbsee> shiester_miester: yeah.  although that was another channel, so he got /kb'd there too
[05:08] <shiester_miester> hahah
[05:08] <shiester_miester> whats the trying to do?
[05:08] <robby> lol... wallop them
[05:08] <TheCreationist> macogw: Do you not have internet access in the text install?
[05:08] <klobster> oops s/libs/packages/
[05:08] <shiester_miester> *whats he trying to do
[05:08] <TheCreationist> macogw: Because if you do, don't use the CD rom for it.
[05:08] <awerner32> is there a linux equivalent to angry ip
[05:08] <fisherhome> can linux server be set up as a domain controller so windows xp machines can log into the domain in a lan environment?
[05:08] <fisherhome> ubuntu server i mean
[05:09] <n2diy> fisherhome: sure, Linux runs the internet after all.
[05:10] <fisherhome> right but i'm designing a new network for my soon-to-be home and i'm considering using an ubuntu server but i'd like it to seem like machines are logging into a windows server 2003 domain.. with shared folders and what not
[05:10] <chipbuddy> .
[05:10] <PhilDick> quit
[05:10] <fisherhome> i'm probably asking about the very basics
[05:10] <fisherhome> lol
[05:11] <nixn00b> sorry i got disconnected did anyone try to answer my question?
[05:11] <n2diy> fisherhome: ditch windows! :)
[05:11] <robby> as trivial as it is, I love the cmd that dloads code from a site
[05:11] <fisherhome> i am so ready to, but i need to keep a couple boxes alive.. i'm an ms tech so i need some for remote diag, and one for my audio studio
[05:11] <fisherhome> i'm building an ubuntu mythbox right now
[05:12] <wit_273> I have a Toshiba Tecra A8 and the sound will not work in Feisty through the built in speakers external speakers work fine though.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
[05:12] <chipbuddy> so i just got two monitors set up by modifying xorg.conf, but beryl doesn't want to turn on now... how do i fix that
[05:12] <tay> NigelS: Still here? I need some more guidance, I could not understand how to configure the xorg config file, I am way new to Linux...
[05:13] <TheCreationist> Totally off-topic, but I have to say that I absolutely LOVE Compiz Fusion!  And to me it's more stable that Compiz or Beryl ever were alone....
[05:13] <iZen> can i only save my xorg.conf file while logged in as root?
[05:13] <robby> wallop: the act of wallop; walloping.
[05:13] -McCoys:#ubuntu- You have a new memo from McCoys.
[05:13] -McCoys:#ubuntu- Type /server READ LAST to read it.
[05:14] <fisherhome> i love compiz fusion too
[05:14] <Nutubuntu> Rhythmbox in feisty seems to have marked quite a fewl mp3s, which I know for certain *used* to play in Dapper, as unplayable because it lacks the proper codec ... but it plays other mp3s.   McCoys got me lol
[05:15] <TheCreationist> fishbuntu: Too bad Microsoft's Aero is so much better and more innovative, right? ;P
[05:15] <tay> NigelS: Still here? I need some more guidance, I could not understand how to configure the xorg config file, I am way new to Linux...
[05:15] <banlieue> good afternoon everyone
[05:16] <Superscrew> hi
[05:16] <kismet> besterd :/
[05:16] <fisherhome> TheCreationist: yeh sure.. i really dispise Vista.. i like XP even with its bugs but Vista is just plain stomach-turning
[05:16] <Nutubuntu> TheCreationist, did / do you need a high end video card to get decent performance out of Compiz Fusion?
[05:16] <yagami_> why is the menubar in opera all screwed up- it looks like as if its using motif style. i already tried opera --style default
[05:16] <robby> U lie Gypsy
[05:17] <tay> I install Nvidia drivers and when I restarted It says "Cannot display this video mode"... I need to edit my config file from a command prompt apparently, anyone able to help me do this?
[05:17] <TheCreationist> Nutubuntu: My computer has an nVidia Geforce 6600.... however, my girlfriend's computer only has onboard intel video.  Both run well.
[05:17] <NigelS> firebird611: I'm reading into it to confirm but I think it's not a problem with how you were doing the xorg.conf but rather the linux nvidia driver
[05:17] <TheCreationist> tay: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:17] <Nutubuntu> :) t/y TheCreationist ... sounds as if my onboard nvidia 6150 might be up to the task
[05:17] <NigelS> firebird611: did you get your driver from the repos? I have a feeling that the latest driver from the nvidia site will work
[05:18] <TheCreationist> Nutubuntu: I don't see why not.  You'd at least be able to get some of the plugins running well enough.
[05:18] <tay> TheCreationist: Is that hard to use? I kinda suck at all this whack command line stuff..
[05:18] <banlieue> hey, you people are surely a lot better with ubuntu (gnome) than I am, so.. could anyone tell me how I could make gnome open 'window manager' on press of ctrl+alt+del
[05:18] <NigelS> tay: the relevant section is the one about the screen - you need to add the resolutions you want to the section with the default depth alogn the same style that you see there i.e. "XxY"
[05:18] <firebird611> NigelS: Ok, thanks for checking it out for me. I have tried the nvidia.com drivers to no avail. I just got done earlier tonight removing those and going back to the one in the repos.
[05:18] <robby> So sad, 4 weeks ago this time I was at Bonnaroo.  #OFF TOPIC
[05:18] <fisherhome> command line aint wack!  its dope for real
[05:18] <TheCreationist> tay: Not really.  It's a little more complicated than GUI versions, but you should be okay.  Just remember that if you don't know what a setting is, set it to the recommended or default setting.
[05:19] <Nutubuntu> banlieue,  System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts (I *think*) would do ya
[05:19] <gcarrillo> hi all
[05:19] <tay> NigelS: I don't even know how to navigate to the proper section of the xorf config file.... or w/.e it is
[05:19] <gcarrillo> does anybody know how to disable desktop effects from the command line?
[05:19] <banlieue> Nutubuntu: yea, but it's not available in the list
[05:19] <NigelS> tay: well you just press page down etc, you're using nano yes?
[05:19] <TheCreationist> fisherhome: As a guy that started using computers with MSDOS 3, I'm comfortable with the CLI... but keep in mind that most computer users today don't use the keyboard for anything other than typing URLs, email and chats ;)
[05:19] <gcarrillo> its hanging my sys
[05:19] <banlieue> is there any way of adding custom commands to the keyboard shortcuts menu?
[05:19] <tay> NigelS: Yes
[05:20] <banlieue> so, to add an universal keyboard shortcut to certain commands..
[05:20] <user1_> TheCreationist, you forgot the chatting
[05:20] <tay> NigelS: just got a blank screen, can get to help menu, didn't seem to help much
[05:20] <gcarrillo> i love to chat
[05:20] <gcarrillo> :P
[05:20] <NigelS> tay: then yeah, commands are access as indicated at the bottom of the screen using CTRL and then the letter
[05:21] <tay> but which command do i use?
[05:21] <user1_> some fine photoshop skills use alot of keyboard too
[05:21] <TheCreationist> user1_: Chats... I said that
[05:21] <tay> NigelS: Can't find anything relevent to video modes...
[05:22] <nickrud> banlieue, you mean like putting gnome-terminal on clt-alt-t?
[05:22] <gcarrillo> damn, this is surprisingly nasty
[05:23] <banlieue> nickrud: for example, but gnome-terminal would be a bad example as it's available in the 'keyboard shortcuts' menu. I'm hoping to add a custom command ('knotes' for example) to a certain key combination
[05:24] <RobDude> Hi all
[05:24] <gcarrillo> hey rob
[05:24] <nickrud> banlieue, open gconf-editor, and navigate to apps/metacity , there's two panels: keybinding_commands and global_keybindings. You can add custom ones there
[05:24] <J^u^d^e^> can anyone give me help on an eMovix disk
[05:24] <banlieue> ah, brilliant
[05:24] <banlieue> that's what I was hoping to hear, thanks nickrud
[05:24] <nickrud> banlieue, if you need more than 12, just add new keys in each
[05:24] <robby> MMMM  bannana cream pie
[05:24] <J^u^d^e^> it does not boot on my os
[05:24] <tay> TheCreationist: Any ideo how to change video mode in nano?
[05:25] <banlieue> should've thought of gconf-editor *blush*
[05:25] <RobDude> This isn't an 'Ubuntu' question specifically - but I thought you guys could help me out.  I've been told that different distros support different hardware.  What exactly does that mean?  Is it just that the native linux drivers are bundled with some distros and not others - but if you have the drivers, it will run on any 'Linux' distro?  Or are the distros fundementally different?
[05:26] <TheCreationist> tay: I never use nano
[05:27] <tay> TheCreationist: oh, well ill brb trying your suggestion
[05:27] <hende> hey i have a question can someone help me with windows effects such as the fire when you hit the x
[05:27] <robby> Awsome KSnapshot saves to jpg
[05:28] <banlieue> oh, so that's what that [X]  does
[05:28] <hende> does anyone know
[05:28] <robby> ?
[05:29] <robby> [x]
[05:29] <hende> windows effects
[05:30] <_C_> I am trying to install beryl 3.0 and it says libc6 is not satifyed yet it is installed...
[05:30] <RobDude> Alright - another question - will Ubuntu 7.04 have a better chance of getting my wireless usb adapter to work than 6.1 ?
[05:30] <robby> Desktop Effects?
[05:31] <hende> ya but my ex brother in law when he hits the x to close windows they burn away
[05:31] <PurpZeY> That's beryl
[05:31] <Nutubuntu> I had an ex brother in law like that once ... ;)
[05:31] <robby> oh you got beryl
[05:31] <osxdude|palmTX> hende: thas beryl...
[05:31] <hende> what if i already got gl desktop
[05:31] <wit_273> Has anyone ran into problems where sound would work with external speakers but not built in speakers on a laptop?
[05:31] <sapu> and where sound device is recognized but doesn't work?
[05:31] <osxdude|palmTX> i like b e r y l !
[05:32] <J^u^d^e^> can anyone give me help on an eMovix disk
[05:32] <J^u^d^e^> it does not boot on my os
[05:34] <robby> God im bored
[05:34] <banlieue> please do forgive me, because of the lack of nicklist and my bad memory I can't remember who it was who pointed me towards gconf-editor but thanks a lot again
[05:34] <Truma1> robby:  Just wait a bit and someone'll come in and ask a question
[05:34] <banlieue> oh, i'll ask another question if you insist! :P
[05:35] <banlieue> i'm (also) trying to open a program on a 'timer'
[05:35] <banlieue> 2 minutes after logging in, program_x should open
[05:35] <banlieue> not a clue where or how to even start
[05:35] <TheCreationist> banlieue: What is the program?
[05:35] <banlieue> i'm assuming that's too specific to cron
[05:35] <robby> at command
[05:35] <banlieue> knotes, it doesn't display the tray icon properly when opened too fast
[05:35] <bjupton1> can I ask an install question here?
[05:35] <banlieue> as it's a KDE program running on Gnome, i'm guessing
[05:36] <TheCreationist> !ask | bjupton1
[05:36] <ubotu> bjupton1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:36] <NigelS> firebird611: http://pastebin.com/942968 <-- try this perhaps
[05:36] <Xiao> I have a Logitech USB keyboard that's pretty new
[05:36] <robby> u try the at cmd in terminal
[05:36] <Xiao> and I get status -32 with it
[05:36] <firebird611> NigelS: Ok. Thank you so much for your help.
[05:37] <hende> alright i have beryl but it wont work
[05:37] <hende> i change the setting but it doesnt work
[05:37] <banlieue> TheCreationist: knotes
[05:37] <Xiao> Googling "status -32" does not give me very many results.
[05:38] <bjupton1> just making sure I was in the right channel...I successfully installed Xubuntu on my new laptop.  However, wanted to give Ubuntu a try. It is crawling on the install.  It got to 44% quickly, but it has taken an eternity to get to 46%.  was not sure if this was normal, did not experience with Xubuntu
[05:38] <Truma1> hende:  You try to run it but it just switches back to the default manager?
[05:38] <paganjew> has anyone use sqlite for personal database like address book, or a library
[05:38] <Xiao> Any ideas on "status -32" issues?
[05:38] <Xiao> It happens with both my USB mouse and keyboard.
[05:38] <bjupton1> thhis is both with Feisty
[05:38] <hende> i dont know like i go change the settings to burn and then i hit the x and they dont burn
[05:38] <Nutubuntu> I'm having a bit of trouble with Rhythmbox. It won't play some mp3s (but plays others). Says it may not have the right decoder. How do I find which one(s) it needs?
[05:39] <Truma1> hende:  Do you know if it's actually switched into beryl?  Like if you click on the little red jewel at the top and select "Select Window Manager" or something like that, is Beryl dotted?
[05:39] <robby> i dont think the kb or mouse would cause that type of issue with google unless its not putting what you typed in correctly
[05:39] <Xiao> It happens at boot.
[05:39] <Xiao> Regarding hid-core.c
[05:39] <hende> yes truma
[05:39] <Xiao> And I get hundreds of these messages constantly stating "Unable to reset device, status -32"
[05:40] <Nutubuntu> bjupton1,  that sounds familiar ... I think I ended up using the Alternate Install CD or the Minimal Install CD instead ... not sure but that's what I think I remember
[05:40] <Xiao> I know it's my keyboard and mouse because when they are disconnected all goes fine.
[05:40] <makuseru> hi, i have a HP DVD Writer, and it burns CDs fine, and it reads DVDs fine, but  when ever i try to burn a DVD it wont do it, it just gives me errors. Ive tried K3B, Nero For Linux, and a few other programs, what could be causing this?
[05:40] <ans_> My mic was working but the volume was really low, I fiddled with some settings and now it doesn't work at all. Is there a way to reset the alsa driver settings back to a default so that I can start with a clean slate?
[05:40] <TheCreationist> Nutubuntu: Most MP3 files aren't encoded.  Is there a common relationship between the ones it won't play (eg: all purchased through Napster)?
[05:40] <Nutubuntu> TheCreationist,  no relatinosh
[05:40] <Truma1> hende:  so you're in the beryl-manager config them, setting it to burn up the windows when you close or whatever, and it doesn't want to burn?
[05:40] <hende> truma???
[05:40] <Nutubuntu> TheCreationist,  no relationship at all ... what's more, they all were okay, back in Dapper ... I'm not clear what could be different, but possibly gstreamer-plugins ... ?
[05:41] <skyfalcon866> does ext3 fragment
[05:41] <TheCreationist> Nutubuntu: Did you follow this tutorial?
[05:41] <UbuntuServerUser> Quick question, how do i shutdown computer so that next time I can start it using WOL?
