[12:01] <lucasvo> dash`: yes, rightclick on the ubuntu sign
[12:01] <lucasvo> depi: both? you do dualboot?
[12:01] <newbuntu> how can you chown multiple files?
[12:01] <depi> lucasvo: yeah
[12:01] <lucasvo> newbuntu: multiple files?
[12:01] <newbuntu> just add a space then a name?
[12:01] <lucasvo> with regex
[12:01] <dash`> ah, thanks
[12:01] <erUSUL> newbuntu: with the -r swhitch (recursive)
[12:01] <lucasvo> newbuntu: no, in that case it's *
[12:01] <tpg_> indeed barktpolar, but u know something to do here? ;p
[12:02] <newbuntu> You probably want to chown these to a system user:
[12:02] <newbuntu>    was the error
[12:02] <barktpolar> Play some games, make art in GIMP, type with Openoffice.org
[12:02] <lucasvo> newbuntu: chown -r lucas *
[12:02] <archetypo> so i have a spare linux box on the lan (dual proc 300, 640MB ram, 18GB free) what should i do with this thing?  dns caching, squid (enough mem?), svn repo?
[12:02] <cablesm102> When in KDE, Ubuntu detects when I close my notebook lid. GNOME, however, doesn't. Is there a package that will help me with this?
[12:02] <barktpolar> tpg_ what ubuntu are you using
[12:02] <lucas> lucasvo, :)
[12:02] <newbuntu> the lucas part is the file name?
[12:03] <lucasvo> archetypo: bittorrentsharing of ubuntu
[12:03] <lucasvo> lucas: ;)
[12:03] <tpg_> I just installed it, im now upgrading to 6.06 LTS
[12:03] <lucasvo> lucas: my rn is lucas and my linux user
[12:03] <barktpolar> Cool
[12:03] <barktpolar> I have dapper as well
[12:03] <lucasvo> archetypo: download them and leave the torrent program on
[12:03] <tpg_> but barktpolar, i just formatted my windows, u know if the sound works on Linux redhat 10?
[12:03] <Arokh> can anyone help me out with partitioning for ubuntu? I want to make the permanent switch from xp to ubuntu (no dual boot), so I imagine I can't use ntfs partitions right? whats the size limit on fat32?
[12:03] <lucasvo> archetypo: or turn the pc off and save power
[12:03] <barktpolar> IDK
[12:03] <barktpolar> I only use Ubuntu in Linux terms
[12:03] <archetypo> not a bad suggestion....my upstream is a little wonky tho sometimes
[12:04] <tpg_> IDK? whats that?
[12:04] <nielsm> Arokh: fat32 is only useful if you want to exchange files between linux and windows
[12:04] <lucasvo> !ntsf > Arokh
[12:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about ntsf
[12:04] <dreamcatcher5172> i have everything successfully configured now and my desktop looks oh so sweet.
[12:04] <nielsm> for linux you want to (need to!) use ext3 or reiserfs
[12:04] <dreamcatcher5172> ubuntu rules
[12:04] <lucasvo> !ntfs > Arokh
[12:04] <barktpolar> I gotta fix thsi soundcard prob, I want to use Gaim-vv
[12:04] <dreamcatcher5172> whats gaim-w
[12:04] <Luke> is anyone else getting 404's on archive.ubuntu.org?
[12:04] <dreamcatcher5172> i got gaim
[12:04] <tpg_> msn?
[12:04] <cablesm102> When in KDE, Ubuntu detects when I close my notebook lid. GNOME, however, doesn't. Is there a package that will help me with this? I really prefer GNOME.
[12:04] <tpg_> me too
[12:04] <bobo_> how do I unhidden a folder in ubuntu? my mp3 player doesnt recognise hidden folders....
[12:04] <Arokh> ok whats the size limit on a ext3 partition?
[12:05] <nielsm> Arokh: a few terabytes i believe
[12:05] <dreamcatcher5172> ext3 partitions can be pretty big i think
[12:05] <barktpolar> gaim-vv is Gaim with Voice and Video capabilities gaim-vv.sourceforge.net
[12:05] <Foobal> Arokh: most likely enough for your use? couple terabytes I'd guess
[12:05] <dreamcatcher5172> cool im gonna go check it out
[12:05] <spades> bobo_ rename it, its hidden because it starts with .name just rename to w/o .
[12:05] <sharms> I am looking for a good utility to create avi movies from my screen.  Suggestions?
[12:06] <Arokh> oh ok cool. Now my last question, i'm putting all my crap on a 200gb external hdd, which will be formatted with NTFS. can ubuntu mount that to read/write files for after everything is installed?
[12:06] <bobo_> well im trying to install rockbox on my iRiver H320... the folder needs to be named .rockbox
[12:06] <bobo_> ?\
[12:06] <cablesm102> Arokh, Ubuntu can read but not write NTFS
[12:06] <dreamcatcher5172> ok do you use the auto packages or the source install for gaim-w....
[12:06] <sharms> Arokh - Read yes, if you need to write to it use fat32
[12:06] <bobo_> because when I start the player. it says .rockbox directory not found
[12:06] <erUSUL> Arokh: not r/w sorry only ro
[12:06] <dreamcatcher5172> is the autopackages .deb files or something?
[12:06] <barktpolar> I downloaded just about everything with ALSA
[12:06] <mjr> Arokh, read yes, write no, recommend fat32 instead for bulk data storage if you need to access from various systems
[12:06] <barktpolar> but still I have no sound
[12:06] <spades> bobo_ rename to roxbox then 'ln -s roxbox .roxbox' to link it
[12:06] <dragon> this sux lol
[12:06] <barktpolar> and I can't access alsa-project.org
[12:06] <Arokh> hmm... i tried to get windows to format the 200gb in fat 32 but it didn't give me the option. I suppose I'd have to partition it in chunks to do that?
[12:07] <erUSUL> Arokh: if you are brave enough you can try ntfs-fuse
[12:07] <barktpolar> No autopackages and .deb packages are diff
[12:07] <Foobal> Arokh: you could use ext2fs too, both windows and linux can read and write it perfectly
[12:07] <archetypo> lucasvo that's prob the best suggestion...it's a sun ultra 2 enterprise so it's prolly sucking mroe power than the washing machien
[12:07] <Luke> is anyone else getting 404's on archive.ubuntu.org?
[12:07] <Arokh> or i could just xfer everything from the 200gb, repartition and format in fat32 after installation
[12:07] <Phopsy> Arokh: Use gParted to format in 200GB fat32
[12:07] <nielsm> arokh: use linux or a win98 bootdisk to create fat32 partitions greater than 32 gb
[12:07] <jpaisneto> why can't I join #ubuntu-pt?
[12:07] <gdb> Arokh: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q314463 - 32GB partition limit.
[12:07] <barktpolar> after downloading the autopackage, you have to change the permissions to 666 and then double-click and run it and follow the instructions
[12:08] <nielsm> win xp refuses to make large fat32 partitions, for no real reason (ither than making people use ntfs)
[12:08] <Phopsy> I have a problem getting my IrDA dongle to work, anyone dain to try and help me?
[12:08] <Bassetts> does anyone know why cd writing always fails with vmware installed?
[12:08] <Arokh> crap fat32 won't work anyway. I have a bunch of imported video from the camcorder, and the files are all like 13gb, says max file size on a fat32 partition is 4gb
[12:09] <Arokh> i'll just install ubuntu, copy everything over, nuke the 200gb and reformat with ext3
[12:09] <grimboy> Non journalized file systems = the sux0r
[12:09] <Phopsy> Arokh: Sounds like an excellent plan.
[12:09] <Arokh> now, in case my wife screams, and I need to go back to xp, you say I can read ext3 in xp or not?
[12:10] <gdb> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310525/EN-US/ - Better information on FAT32.
[12:10] <Foobal> I repeat: you can read and write ext2 in windows too. you can get driver from sf.net
[12:10] <lucasvo> Arokh: no you can't
[12:10] <lucasvo> afaik
[12:10] <grimboy> lucasvo, You can.
[12:10] <Foobal> that includes ext3 too but the journaling doesn't work.
[12:10] <gdb> Arokh: There is a free driver you can install on XP for it.  There was some guy in #ubuntu-offtopic talking about it the other night.
[12:10] <lucasvo> grimboy: really?
[12:10] <Warbo> Wow, that was weird. I just got disconnected and had to go through some nickname crap :(
[12:10] <erUSUL> Foobal: i heard that it is not very reliable...
[12:10] <sokuban> I always have two extra drives on automount, how would I set it so that those drives won't be on the desktop but other drives (such as a CD or smc) would be on the desktop when I put them in?
[12:11] <barktpolar> dial-up Warbo?
[12:11] <webben1> How do you list all _installed_ packages from the CLI?
[12:11] <gdb> The folks that were using it reported no issues.
[12:11] <Foobal> reusul: yeah, perhaps, if the ext2 code from linux kernel is not very reliable.. lol. because all that is around it are some light wrappers
[12:11] <Arokh> well i'll just install ubuntu for a few days before i mess with the stuff on the 200gb. if my wife is ok with it, then i'll start moving stuff
[12:11] <sokuban> webben1: try aptitude
[12:11] <Warbo> webben1: "dpkg -l" isn;t it?
[12:11] <gdb> webben1: dpkg -l or dpkg --get-selections | grep install
[12:11] <gdb> I prefer the latter because it gives more information about removed or purged packages.
[12:11] <Phopsy> I have a SigmaTel 4200 dongle, but no matter how hard I try I can't get it to receive files from my phone. Can somebody suggest something?
[12:11] <gdb> the former is quick and dirty and works well
[12:11] <barktpolar> Does'nt aMule have a IP Blocker
[12:12] <webben1> gdb: i don't get it -- aren't removed or purged packages _not_ installed?
[12:12] <Arokh> what's more geared for "home use", ubuntu, or kubuntu?
[12:12] <Warbo> barktpolar: I think there are some blacklists that the servers use
[12:12] <lasindi> Hi all, I want recompile the Ubuntu kernel, but I want to use Ubuntu's kernel modifications and its configuration. I did "apt-get install linux-kernel" but I see that it doesn't have a .config with it. Is there a place I can get the default Ubuntu configuration?
[12:12] <barktpolar> for aMule?
[12:12] <tpg_> how do i install KDI or something?
[12:12] <webben1> Arokh: doesn't work like that
[12:12] <lucasvo> Arokh: both is about the same
[12:12] <lucasvo> Arokh: it's up to you
[12:12] <gdb> webben1: That's right,  that's why you'd grep for "install" to grab installed packages (it's the second column of information if you run it without the grep and take a look).
[12:12] <Warbo> Arokh: It is a matter of preference. Try one, then install the other via apt and try that out as well
[12:12] <Arokh> i THINK when i was running fedora on the web server, I preferred gnome
[12:12] <lucasvo> Arokh: I prefer Gnome, so It's Kubuntu
[12:13] <webben1> gdb: oh i see, thanks
[12:13] <bobo_> spades; Operation not permitted... what do I do?
[12:13] <lucasvo> Arokh: so take ubuntu
[12:13] <gdb> webben1: Also dpkg -l and dpkg --list are equivabent.
[12:13] <lucasvo> Arokh: but running a GUI on a webserver doesn't really make sense :)
[12:13] <gdb> er equivalent
[12:13] <zybrid_> tips on a good ftp client like flashfxp?
[12:13] <spades> bobo_ what program gave that error>?
[12:13] <barktpolar> downloading amule now...
[12:13] <Phopsy> Any IrDA experts present tonight?
[12:13] <bobo_> spades; the terminal?
[12:13] <Arokh> it was a dual purpose, web server and spare computer for when my wife was on bed rest :D
[12:13] <Foobal> lucasvo: yeah right, usable management tools just suck. lol
[12:14] <bobo_> spades ; am i doing it wrong?
[12:14] <Warbo> barktpolar: I use MLDonkey
[12:14] <spades> bobo_ can you paste exactly what you did?
[12:14] <depi> I"ve just sold the Azureus&FAT32 problem: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/FAT32PartitionUnderLinux
[12:14] <barktpolar> does GNOME stand for something?
[12:14] <Warbo> depi: How much for? :)
[12:14] <bobo_> spades ; bobo@unix:/media/H300$ ln -s rockbox .rockbox
[12:14] <Warbo> GNU Network Object Model Environment
[12:14] <barktpolar> Is it in the Add/Remove List
[12:14] <depi> Warbo: heh :D
[12:14] <spades> did you rename .roxbox so its not there anymore?
[12:14] <ruvil> Anyone know how to change locales in ubuntu? 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' does not work :/
[12:15] <barktpolar> Thanks
[12:15] <kbrooks> barktpolar: GNU Object Model Environment, I think
[12:15] <spades> bobo_ did .roxbox need to be on your homedir or on the player?
[12:15] <lucasvo> Foobal: ?
[12:15] <Arokh> are there any good programs for importing video from the camcorder, editing, and burning dvds under linux?
[12:15] <barktpolar> Here is another question I want to know
[12:15] <Phopsy> Arokh: Yeah, Kino if you have DV
[12:15] <grimboy> Gowan
[12:15] <Warbo> barktpolar: It is seperated into "mldonkey-server" and "mldonkey-gui", but I use Sanch for a GUI anyway (not in Ubuntu, but I converted an RPM)
[12:15] <erUSUL> Arokh: no that i know of... you have kino for import editing
[12:15] <barktpolar> Is teher any programs in Ubuntu that import stuff from Webcams?
[12:15] <tpg_> Is SuSe a good linux version?
[12:16] <Arokh> yeah i have dv, i just hope ubuntu recognizes my firewire card
[12:16] <Phopsy> Arokh: I'm sure it will...
[12:16] <lucasvo> tpg_: not as good as ubuntu ;-)
[12:16] <depi> Warbo: but why I cant download sometginh with firefox to FAT32 I really dont know
[12:16] <Phopsy> Lucasvo: Hehehe... :D
[12:16] <zybrid_> tpg_: yes and no.
[12:16] <zybrid_> tpg_: use dapper.
[12:16] <tpg_> what is dapper?
[12:17] <tpg_> a linux? 0_O
[12:17] <Warbo> !dapper
[12:17] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th and latest release of Ubuntu. Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake"
[12:17] <Daveyboy> can someone please take a look at this error http://pastebin.ca/82771
[12:17] <tpg_> !dapper
[12:17] <Phopsy> tpg_: Dapper Drake, Ubuntu 6.06
[12:17] <barktpolar> Dappek Drake = Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
[12:17] <barktpolar> Dapper*
[12:17] <tpg_> ah,, im upgrading to that now, thnx
[12:17] <sokuban> I always have two extra drives on automount, how would I set it so that those drives won't be on the desktop but other drives (such as a CD or smc) would be on the desktop when I put them in?
[12:17] <tpg_> whats the point of it then?
[12:18] <Phopsy> tpg_: What's the point of what, exactly?
[12:18] <Arokh> i have 120gb for ubuntu, but like i used to do in windows, i'd partition like 40/80 gb, OS on the 40gb so if anything messes up i can format and reinstall without losing my data on the 80. is that how i should do it for ubuntu?
[12:18] <Warbo> Arokh: Put the non-OS bit as "/home" and it will be automatic :)
[12:18] <barktpolar> Does Ubuntu need a spyware blocker
[12:18] <lucasvo> Arokh: 40 for the system?
[12:18] <Warbo> barktpolar: No
[12:19] <barktpolar> Oh
[12:19] <lucasvo> Arokh: I would say 20
[12:19] <Phopsy> Arokh: I'd go for 20GB for the system...Lots of video space then.
[12:19] <tpg_> Dapper
[12:19] <tpg_> Phopsy
[12:19] <Arokh> oh, i have another 120 for the video :D
[12:19] <Daveyboy> can someone please take a look at this error http://pastebin.ca/82771 tryomg to install perl modules
[12:19] <tpg_> the upgrade of ubuntu i heard
[12:19] <Arokh> but if i can get away with 20/100, why not eh?
[12:19] <barktpolar> This room is nice to be in
[12:19] <lucasvo> Arokh: my ubuntu never used more than 10
[12:19] <Phopsy> tpg_: Because it's very good, very stable, well-supported, gorgeous and fun :D
[12:19] <Arokh> you know how windows apps are, fat, so that's why i was doing 40/80
[12:19] <tpg_> I hope my sound cards works on it too :/
[12:19] <tpg_> but ok ;p thnx for your help
[12:20] <Phopsy> tpg_: What soundcard are you using/
[12:21] <Warbo> Arokh: I agree. I used to use like 3GB for XP, and 37GB for files. Then I found out that my stuff doesn't work when I install it to my files partition, even though it says "which folder do you want to install it in?"
[12:21] <Phopsy> Anyone know why emulated programmes would go to the bother of running only in bluescale?
[12:21] <kbrooks> only in what?
[12:21] <barktpolar> Phopsy: I Use a ESS Audiodrive
[12:21] <Warbo> Phopsy: What's that? (and what system are you emulating?)
[12:22] <tpg_> Phopsy, im using a creative 24 bit audigy souncard
[12:22] <Phopsy> Well, it's Not Emulation...
[12:22] <Warbo> Phopsy: Ah, WINE?
[12:22] <Phopsy> Warbo: Darn right.
[12:22] <Phopsy> Warbo: It runs it, but it's all in blue!
[12:23] <Arokh> if i really really really need to do something with a windows program, is there a vm program in ubuntu?
[12:23] <Warbo> Phopsy: BSOD? Wow, the latest version of WINE is so near!
[12:23] <tpg_> whats WINE? 0-o
[12:23] <Warbo> !wine
[12:23] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:23] <Warbo> !vmware
[12:23] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare
[12:23] <Phopsy> Warbo: It's not really a BSoD...it just runs the entire programme infused with blue
[12:24] <Phopsy> Warbo: Strange stuff.
[12:24] <Warbo> Phopsy: Ah. Have you installed a silly theme in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/Themes?
[12:25] <Phopsy> Warbo: Not installed any themes. It was the first game I'd succeeded in getting to work, so I was quite frightened when it all ran in blue tones.
[12:25] <Arokh> as i'm thinking this through, i have a bunch of games that i might still want to play here and there, maybe i should just dual boot. how do I do that? instlal ubuntu then xp?
[12:25] <Warbo> Phopsy: GAME? Now there's your problem :)
[12:25] <depi> Does anyone know why is it impossible to download something with firefox to fat32? (really strange thing)
[12:25] <tpg_> So... if i got WINE i could play windows games and stuff on it and install windows drivers orrr??
[12:25] <Warbo> tpg_: Applications usually, Games sometimes, Drivers no
[12:26] <tpg_> ok, thn
[12:26] <Warbo> !cedega
[12:26] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on wine, aimed at running windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cedega
[12:26] <Lobster> n8
[12:26] <Phopsy> Warbo: Well yes....Most likely to be the problem. Figured it might be a common problem, but seems not :P
[12:26] <tpg_> dumb question : is this a linux x86?
[12:27] <barktpolar> IDK
[12:27] <tpg_> k
[12:27] <Warbo> tpg_: x86 is a 32bit "IBM compatible" "PC"
[12:27] <tpg_> oh
[12:27] <Warbo> tpg_: Basically: If it runs Windows then it is an x86 (but may be an x86_64/amd64)
[12:28] <Phopsy> tpg_: So a Linux x86 would be a distro that ran on x86 architecture.
[12:28] <Phopsy> tpg_: Like Ubuntu :)
[12:28] <Warbo> Phopsy: Linux is the kernel, which runs on x86, PowerPC, MIPS, SPARC, m68k, CELL, etc.
[12:28] <Warbo> Ubuntu is a DISTRO or an OS
[12:29] <Phopsy> Warbo: Shush, I knew that :-P
[12:30] <Warbo> Phopsy: I didn't actually notice the tpg_: part of your message :)
[12:30] <Phopsy> Warbo: Bleh, it happens
[12:30] <barktpolar> What is the URL for the Ubuntu Package Site
[12:30] <MrZaius> "Running "/sbin/lilo' failed with error code "1"
[12:30] <MrZaius> that's a bad thing right?
[12:31] <MrZaius> neither grub nor lilo will install on my box
[12:31] <MrZaius> although they did before, when I used it for gentoo
[12:31] <tpg_> Are .db files runable here?
[12:31] <Warbo> tpg_: .db? Sounds like a database maybe?
[12:31] <MrZaius> ubuntu, however, fails when I install it to the MBR of either hdd, and hang indefinitely when installed to floppy
[12:31] <MrZaius> what on earth is going on?
[12:32] <eragon24> idk
[12:32] <Dr`Keo> What's the version of the Nvidia drivers in the ubuntu repository?
[12:32] <tpg_> dunno, im trying to install WINE in some way... but i think im wrong, i got a link on the WINE website, u know maby where i can download WINE?
[12:32] <tpg_> Warbo

[12:34] <MrZaius> Dr`Keo apt-cache'll tell you
[12:34] <MrZaius> after running apt-get update
[12:34] <MrZaius> anyone know what'll keep lilo or grub both from installing on a box where they both worked before?
[12:34] <Luke> Seveas: i've added your repo to my repo list but your packges dont show up in synaptic when I search even though I  followed the wiki guide for adding it
[12:34] <Dr`Keo> MrZaius, I've got synaptic updating atm, I just need which version the drivers are
[12:34] <MrZaius> Dr`Keo: it's possible apt-cache'll still run
[12:34] <Warbo> Dr`Keo: Search for nvidia-glx then. The package version is the driver version
[12:35] <knanand> wat are the repos i need to add in order to install Opera 9
[12:35] <knanand> i dont find opera in my list

[12:36] <sara_>  I get an error saying the following files have a UID than 99, and It tells me I should chown them to a sytem user... I'm trying but cant seem to get the command
[12:36] <Gareth^> I've got a seperate /home partition, I'm thinking I'd just copy everything to there that I'd need and then replace it after redoing my / partition
[12:36] <Warbo> deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ breezy free non-free
[12:37] <mikere> MrZaius: only think I can think of that would stop them from working would be swapping drives so the primary boot drive didn't have a boot loader or something similar.
[12:37] <Warbo> Gareth^: /home shouldn't need to change, but you may want some stuff from /etc that you have configured yourself
[12:37] <coventry> I wanted to install Ubuntu, but was unable to because my machine has a harddrive which the current Ubuntu kernel can't deal with.  (Had to use the Etch nightly build installer, then apt-get upgrade to sid to get a machine which would boot debian.)  But sid doesn't know about my video system (Dell 3007 WFP with an NVidia Quadro FX graphics card,) while Ubuntu doesn't seem to have a problem with it.  Is there some way I could get Ubuntu's X configurati
[12:38] <Sir_Fawnpug> Greetings everyone; I'm currently running breezy and I'm just getting around to updating to dapper (which I hear has better wireless support). I was wondering what kind of configuration I'd have to change to get the wireless going (It's one of those nasty broadcom chipsets)
[12:38] <ccc_> knanand: well, you can download the ubuntu deb at opera.com and install it with: sudo dpkg -i <file>
[12:38] <Gareth^> thanks Warbo
[12:38] <Sir_Fawnpug> And if that didn't make much sense, forgive me, as I have been drinking beer.
[12:39] <dreamcatcher5172> whats a compiler and how can i get one to install from source
[12:39] <sara_> Wireless worked immeadiatley for me
[12:39] <Sir_Fawnpug> sara_, awesome, what chipset are you using?
[12:39] <Warbo> apt-get install build-essential
[12:39] <sara_> salt & vinegar
[12:39] <Warbo> lol
[12:39] <Sir_Fawnpug> Haha
[12:39] <_DjScrew_> anyone that can help me install a linksys wusb54g without an internet connection on the ubuntu box
[12:39] <Sir_Fawnpug> If I ever designed ICs, I would name a chipset that.
[12:40] <dreamcatcher5172> super thanks im installing it now
[12:40] <knanand> Warbo: I get an error like this "opera: Depends: xlib6g (>=3.3.6) but it is not installable or xlibs  but it is not installable"
[12:40] <sara_> dapper drake ...  all dressed
[12:40] <tpg_> what is sudo pat-get install wine? well when i typ this in terminal it gives a message that i need to type my password but i cant type anything :/ only enter...
[12:40] <Sir_Fawnpug> sara_, did you also upgrade from breezy, or did you do a clean install?
[12:40] <sara_> clean
[12:41] <Warbo> tpg_: 1) apt-get 2) it is being entered, just doesn't show for security reasons
[12:41] <RegalDrac> i got a file in my home folder
[12:41] <RegalDrac> when it ry to delete it says its not there
[12:41] <RegalDrac> any idea how to remove it
[12:41] <Sir_Fawnpug> Ahh, you see I'm hesistant to do a clean install because I got alot of things set up the way I want them to be on this machine. Mainly my fluxbox config and all.
[12:41] <sara_> sir  do you know how I can chown a bunch of files to my user at one time?
[12:41] <barktpolar> Here is a site I found that has packages packages.ubuntu.com are those .deb files compatible with the GDebi Installer
[12:41] <Sir_Fawnpug> sara_, chown user:group *
[12:41] <Sir_Fawnpug> In bash
[12:42] <saperDuper> hi. i put the ubuntu 6.06 cd i just downloaded in my pc and i get the following error message while booting the kernel: crc error.Kernel panic -not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount rootfs on unknown block (1,0). any ideas?
[12:42] <Warbo> barktpolar: I do hope you are kidding? Have you never used Synaptic?
[12:42] <Sir_Fawnpug> Or for just your user, just chown user *
[12:42] <sara_> im not sure what the group is though
[12:42] <knanand> Wabro: I get an error.. Please help me..
[12:42] <sara_> ok
[12:42] <Sir_Fawnpug> sara_, the group is only included if you use the colon, eg, chown :group *
[12:42] <Warbo> knanand: Try installing the "xlibs-dev" package
[12:42] <tpg_> well i didnt marbo, i just searched WINE at it but it didndt found anything
[12:42] <Warbo> chown owner.group filename
[12:42] <barktpolar> No I''m
[12:42] <barktpolar> not
[12:42] <Sir_Fawnpug> What bash will actually do is expand the * wildcard to include all matching files.
[12:43] <sara_> when i type chown user *  it goes to the next line... but
[12:43] <infyquest> ping ben collins
[12:43] <Warbo> barktpolar: packages.ubuntu.com is where all of the packages in Synaptic are from :)
[12:43] <Sir_Fawnpug> sara_, feel free to pm me
[12:43] <Warbo> !tell tpg_ about universe
[12:43] <Sir_Fawnpug> Did you look at the output of ls -l?
[12:43] <barktpolar> Oh *does anime sweat drop*
[12:43] <Sir_Fawnpug> And you can only chown files which you own.
[12:43] <Warbo> tpg_: Follow the instructions to get Universe and Multiverse enabled, then look again
[12:44] <Sir_Fawnpug> So you will need to probably do it with "sudo chown user *"
[12:44] <Sir_Fawnpug> Or if you have your root password (I am not a big fan of sudo), su and chown from there
[12:44] <Sharrow> wuff :)
[12:45] <Warbo> Sir_Fawnpug: Don't recommend root, and also "sudo su" works without root
[12:45] <mythtv> hello
[12:45] <barktpolar> Just liek I'm not a big fan of pppd
[12:45] <barktpolar> I use GNOME PPP
[12:45] <Sir_Fawnpug> Warbo, maybe I'm just apprehensive of sudo but I much rather prefer su over sudo.
[12:45] <mythtv> hello can anyone helpme with mythtv
[12:45] <Warbo> Sir_Fawnpug: I use "sudo -s -H" all of the time (even though I know "sudo -i" is quicker)
[12:46] <barktpolar> because pppd get sme on my nerves, it always d/cs one me
[12:46] <Sir_Fawnpug> Maybe that's why I haven't seen the illustrious wheel group in ubuntu
[12:46] <mythtv> ok i guess thats a no
[12:46] <mythtv> any idea
[12:46] <eragon24> duh
[12:46] <Warbo> !mythtv
[12:46] <josh> hows it going people
[12:46] <ubotu> mythtv is for watching TV in Linux.  Check out http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/16/instructions-to-install-mythtv/
[12:46] <mythtv> yes
[12:46] <josh> got a question... what is the sourcelist for dapper?
[12:47] <barktpolar> !sound
[12:47] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[12:47] <josh> and when i do the sudo apt-get dist upgrade, will i lose any files?
[12:47] <Warbo> josh: "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" will tell you :)
[12:47] <eragon24> how many people have created game-playing bots??
[12:47] <barktpolar> !ubotu sound
[12:47] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubotu sound
[12:47] <Sir_Fawnpug> josh, I'm looking for that too, I'll let you know when I find it.
[12:47] <RegalDrac> is there a command to get full out pc stats
[12:47] <RegalDrac> and distro
[12:47] <josh> warbo... sources list aint going to tell me dude
[12:47] <grimboy> !sound
[12:47] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[12:47] <Warbo> josh: 1) dist-upgrade 2) No. If it screws your system and you have to format it to make it usable then yes :)
[12:47] <sara_> pastebin doesnt seem to work anymore
[12:47] <mythtv> it is
[12:47] <Sir_Fawnpug> RegalDrac, well as far as distro, you can do uname -a and that should give you all of the basic system and kernel information.
[12:47] <Reimu> I have two drives on automount, how would I get them off my desktop? Without unmounting them?
[12:47] <josh> yeah... no. im trying to avoid that see
[12:48] <knanand> Warbo: I get the same error after installing xlibs...
[12:48] <josh> reimu, mount them somewhere else in your fstab
[12:48] <Sir_Fawnpug> You can check processor parameters by catting /proc/cpu
[12:48] <Warbo> knanand: Maybe get the .deb from opera.com then (it is buried quite deeply I believe)
[12:48] <Sir_Fawnpug> If you want to check pci information lspci

[12:58] <knanand> Warbo: I think there is something serious problem.. The deb that i downloaded from Opera.com also dint work...
[12:58] <Reimu_> ks1: I tried that before but it wouldn't let me change, I forgot to be root >_<
[12:59] <avis> is anyone here running ubuntu dapper drake with a Geforce 6200 ?
[12:59] <barktpolar> Anyone know why alsa-project.org is not working?
[12:59] <etavi> void^: is there any other way(than building a deb) to make apt aware of manually installed software ??
[12:59] <Warbo> RegalDrac: You can use file-roller (the GNOME archive manager) or use "7z x filename" I think
[12:59] <RegalDrac> k
[12:59] <ks1> You shouldnt have to be root.. maybe that gconf is set as read only.. gotta hate that
[12:59] <ks1> gconf settings are user independant i beleive.
[12:59] <ardchoille> squiggly: that was *not* nice
[01:00] <Warbo> etavi: You should try to give the Debs you make the right dependencies
[01:00] <squiggly> the gnaa made me do it
[01:00] <spades> ardchoille he does that once a day i think
[01:00] <knanand> Warbo: It gives an error like this "dpkg: error processing opera_9.0-20060616.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: opera_9.0-20060616.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb"
[01:00] <squiggly> THEY HAVE STOLEN MY WILL
[01:00] <Sir_Fawnpug> sara_, the best way to know about the behavior of chown is to read the manpage
[01:00] <sara_> ok
[01:00] <Sir_Fawnpug> But I would assume that's the default behaviour.
[01:00] <Warbo> knanand: Well that says that the file doesn't exist. Try renaming it to something simpler
[01:01] <RegalDrac> Warbo:  whats the apt get to install make and stuff
[01:01] <RegalDrac> i forgot the command
[01:01] <RegalDrac> i got 2 pcs
[01:01] <ardchoille> spades: he was k-lined for it a couple days ago and I just reported him to lilo.. again
[01:01] <ks1> build-essentials
[01:01] <Warbo> RegalDrac: build-essential
[01:01] <RegalDrac> ya but it was a diffrent than normal aptget command
[01:01] <RegalDrac> i think
[01:01] <ks1> yeah i think so too
[01:01] <Warbo> RegalDrac: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" or "sudo aptitude install build-essential"
[01:02] <RegalDrac> k
[01:02] <RegalDrac> what is the aptitiude diffrence
[01:02] <RegalDrac> <-- noob
[01:02] <Warbo> RegalDrac: Try just "sudo apt-get" then try just "sudo aptitude"
[01:02] <skavenge> are there any gui cdrw tools?
[01:02] <Sir_Fawnpug> RegalDrac, I think aptitude is a KDE frontend to apt
[01:03] <Sir_Fawnpug> As opposed to synaptic.
[01:03] <RegalDrac> oh ok
[01:03] <Sir_Fawnpug> So, I'm guessing aptitutde woudl source KDE
[01:03] <RegalDrac> :d
[01:03] <ks1> skavenge: graveman, gnomebaker, bonfire, k3b, many others.
[01:03] <Warbo> skavenge: k3b, nautilus, gnome-baker, xcdroast
[01:03] <RegalDrac> im running ubun on 2 pcs
[01:03] <RegalDrac> and tryen to write down what i put on here
[01:03] <RegalDrac> to put on the other
[01:03] <skavenge> hm okay
[01:03] <spades> aptitude is a cli apt util
[01:03] <xenos767> I was wondering if there was anyone here that might be able to help me install WINE?
[01:03] <Sir_Fawnpug> spades, ahh, what was the kde?
[01:03] <knanand> Warbo: Hey thank you.. I had downloaded it to some other location.. I could install it now. Thank You again :)
[01:03] <Warbo> Adept is the KDE frontend to apt. aptitude is a commandline frontend
[01:03] <spades> Sir_Fawnpug adept iirc
[01:03] <Sir_Fawnpug> Ahh, OK.
[01:03] <arooni> hey folks... i'm trying to get my ubuntu to connect to the internet.... (have dapper hosted on a vmware workstation on winxp).  questions 1) how do i get the mac address in linux?  2) how do i make sure i can connect to the internet?
[01:03] <ccc_> Sir_Fawnpug: the kde frontend is adept.
[01:03] <Sir_Fawnpug> It's been a while since I've done anything debian.
[01:04] <spades> aptitude is like a gui in command line, but text based
[01:04] <Sir_Fawnpug> Although I must admit the ubuntu devs have really outdone themselves
[01:04] <Warbo> xenos767: go in Synaptic, install wine. Simple
[01:05] <Aesop> Ok, weird bug: I've got some updates, one of htem is the new 'login', so I chick to see changes, it starts downloading, then Xorg restarts
[01:05] <sokuban> ks1: I did what you said, but it doesn't work, I restarted X and unmounted the drives
[01:05] <Muelli> Warbo: You're sure that Wine is in the default repositories?
[01:05] <Warbo> !universe
[01:05] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[01:05] <Warbo> Happy now?
[01:06] <sokuban> ks1: also what was the name of the config program?
[01:06] <sokuban> ks1: oops I am Reimu, I wonder how I could be using this name since I forgot the password
[01:06] <Sir_Fawnpug> The drake is quite dapper.
[01:07] <arooni> folks... how do you get the MAC address on linux?
[01:07] <Reimu> Does anyone know the name of the basic control panel in ubuntu? I know it starts with a G >_>
[01:07] <nao> Hi, I'm having some trouble with VLC, anytime I load the player, and then load a media file it shuts down.  Does anyone know how I can fix that?  I'm very new to ubuntu so any help is very much appreciated.  I'm on Dapper.
[01:07] <Sir_Fawnpug> arooni, ifconfig shows them I think.
[01:07] <Warbo> gconf-editor?
[01:07] <Sir_Fawnpug> As hdwaddr
[01:07] <spades> archetypo ifconfig should show the mac addr
[01:07] <eragon24> has anyone created a game-playing bot??
[01:07] <Reimu> nao: you have vlc-plugin-esd right? (or something along those lines)
[01:08] <nao> Reimu, yeah, I do
[01:08] <arooni> ahh hwaddrses?
[01:08] <Reimu> does vlc work on windows?
[01:08] <Sir_Fawnpug> Yeah, since the MAC address is hardware dependent I guess.
[01:08] <nao> Reimu, when I installed it, it made it so that VLC would load my file and linger for about three seconds, but crashed
[01:08] <nao> Reimu:  Yeah, it works fine in Windows
[01:08] <Warbo> VLC works on Windows, but you need a different binary
[01:08] <Sir_Fawnpug> Anyway just find the MAC address for your preferred interface and you're good to go.
[01:09] <josh> !easysource
[01:09] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[01:09] <Reimu> nao: no clue, sorry, I'm new to ubuntu too, why don't you try playing the files with another player?
[01:09] <Sir_Fawnpug> You know I'm really considering getting rid of gnome, will most of the administration programs run on just GTK?
[01:10] <Warbo> Sir_Fawnpug: Yes.
[01:10] <pump> hi, does anyone have a tv card?
[01:10] <Warbo> pump: I do
[01:10] <void^> i do
[01:10] <Sir_Fawnpug> Warbo, that is good news because I run in fluxbox all the time.
[01:10] <xenos767> when installing a file in synaptic, do I just click on the files, mark them, then apply?
[01:10] <pump> which one do you have?
[01:10] <Warbo> xenos767: Yes
[01:10] <xenos767> thanks Warbo
[01:10] <Reimu> Does anyone know the name of the basic control panel app in gnome? I know it starts with a g >_>
[01:10] <Warbo> pump: "Studio PCTV Rave"
[01:10] <charle97> pump, i have a avermedia 98
[01:11] <Sir_Fawnpug> I think the only thing I'd like to keep is gdm
[01:11] <Warbo> Reimu: gconf-editor?
[01:11] <arooni> im having trouble connecting to my linksys router with ubuntu
[01:11] <pump> oh, i'm trying to make a pinnacle pctv stereo work
[01:11] <Reimu> Warbo: thanks
[01:11] <pump> but i can't make that :S
[01:11] <Sir_Fawnpug> arooni, do you have mac address filtering on?
[01:11] <josh> will i have to reinstall freenx after i do this dist upgrade?
[01:11] <Sir_Fawnpug> And what kind of medium are you connecting with?
[01:11] <arooni> Sir_Fawnpug: sure, and i added the 'HWaddr' listed on 'eth0'
[01:12] <pump> warbo, what chip does the pctv rave have?
[01:12] <arooni> Sir_Fawnpug: and im trying to connect from dapper to my linksys router (its running thru vmware's workstation using bridged networkign, so it should be connecting direct to router from linux os)
[01:12] <Warbo> pump: I don't know but I used the bttv driver or something last time I used it
[01:12] <Sir_Fawnpug> arooni, that's somewhat odd, the first thing I'd say is rerun net
[01:12] <pump> mine has a saa7134 philips chip
[01:12] <Sir_Fawnpug> But then again I remeber this isn't gentoo.
[01:13] <pump> i don't have signal at all :S
[01:13] <arooni> Sir_Fawnpug: what do you mean by 'rerun net' (im a linux noob
[01:13] <xenos767> now that I have wine installed, how do i open/use it?
[01:13] <Sir_Fawnpug> net is an initscript
[01:13] <Warbo> xenos767: Double click on a Windows program :)
[01:13] <Sir_Fawnpug> Basically it's a script that gets started whenever your computer boots
[01:13] <pump> xenos767: "wine file.exe"
[01:13] <Sir_Fawnpug> Or more specifically, changes runlevels.
[01:13] <arooni> Sir_Fawnpug: ok, so if i just typed in 'net' it gave me a usage message
[01:13] <xenos767> oh so it will automaticly work?
[01:14] <gteppel__> what is a good iptables program that will simplify writing firewall rules?
[01:14] <gteppel__> it has to be command line
[01:14] <Sir_Fawnpug> Well the script is located in /etc/init.d/ I think
[01:14] <pump> xenos767, first exec "winecfg"
[01:14] <gteppel__> i'm running a headless erver
[01:14] <Warbo> xenos767: If it's going to work at all :)
[01:14] <Sir_Fawnpug> So you're running ubuntu off of vmware?
[01:14] <arooni> yes
[01:14] <charle97> pump, are you using tvtime?
[01:14] <Sir_Fawnpug> I don't know the nuances of vmware so I can't tell you much about that.
[01:14] <Sir_Fawnpug> All I can say is good luck.
[01:14] <hydroksyde> anyone else having CUPS issues in ubuntu 6.06 when printing to an IPP network printer?
[01:15] <Sir_Fawnpug> And I hope it works for you.
[01:15] <pump> charle97, yes, but i'm not having signal with any program
[01:15] <Polkadotshorts> How on earth can I make a screenshot in ubuntu? If i press print screen, nothing happens.
[01:15] <Polkadotshorts> There used to be a window that opened
[01:15] <Sir_Fawnpug> Polkadotshorts, there are alot of tools out there.
[01:15] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: Look in Application>Accessories (but printscreen should work...)
[01:15] <Sir_Fawnpug> I have a screenshot utility that I keep in gkrell
[01:15] <mcphail> Polkadotshorts: are you using Xgl/compiz?
[01:15] <Sir_Fawnpug> That will take pictures
[01:15] <charle97> pump, what tuner setting are you using?
[01:16] <hydroksyde> gimp does screenies too
[01:16] <josh> what is the dist upgrade command?
[01:16] <Warbo> josh: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[01:16] <josh> i thought it was sudo apt-get dist upgrade but that aint it
[01:16] <pump> charle97, in the saa7134 module?
[01:16] <Sir_Fawnpug> josh, I think it upgrades all the files in the distro
[01:16] <josh> ahh
[01:16] <josh> left out the damn -
[01:16] <Sir_Fawnpug> no, it's dist-upgrade
[01:16] <josh> ok
[01:16] <josh> thanks
[01:16] <charle97> pump, that's the card ... there's a tuner setting
[01:16] <Polkadotshorts> I dont know, mcphail. I installed the eye candy thing in ubuntuguide...and I had to set a keyboard something there....
[01:16] <Polkadotshorts> I am useless.
[01:16] <untu> i need a packetsender for linux :) are there any packages?
[01:16] <Polkadotshorts> :'(
[01:16] <ardchoille> josh: you using my keyboard again? lol
[01:16] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: Do your windows wobble?
[01:17] <Polkadotshorts> yes
[01:17] <Polkadotshorts> I like my windows wobbling
[01:17] <pump> yes, i load that module with the values "card=26 and tuner=33"
[01:17] <mcphail> Polkadotshorts: the window manager with the wobbly windows doesn't work with the printscreen button
[01:17] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: Then you have XGL/Compiz
[01:17] <pump> there is a tuner module, but i'm not giving it any value
[01:17] <Polkadotshorts> wel, that is useful
[01:17] <Polkadotshorts> a pity
[01:17] <mcphail> Polkadotshorts: (well, it _does_ now, but I'm using a non-standard repo)
[01:18] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: Well Compiz has only been around for about a year (and only available for about 6 months)
[01:18] <eragon24> who has created a game-playing bot?
[01:18] <Polkadotshorts> Also, does anyone know if this nice wobbly thing will be default in the next ubuntu?
[01:18] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: I hope not
[01:18] <Polkadotshorts> why?
[01:18] <mcphail> Polkadotshorts: i doubt it. Too many problems yet
[01:18] <Polkadotshorts> I see.
[01:18] <Polkadotshorts> Well, I think it looks nice.
[01:19] <Polkadotshorts> This brown just does not do it for me, though
[01:19] <Polkadotshorts> I am going to install that orange thing now
[01:19] <charle97> pump, have you tried different tuner settings?
[01:19] <Warbo> Polkadotshorts: 1) Stuck with one window manager 2) Compiz has pathetic theming ability 3) root window doesn't work 4) accelerated video doesn't work on ATI cards
[01:19] <Reimu> I don't get it, when I uncheck the option in nautilus in  gconf-editor to show shortcuts to mounted drives on the desktop the shortcuts are still there, I tried everything, remounting, restarting x, changing fstab, rebooting the entire system, but the icons are still there. What might be causing this?
[01:19] <pump> yes
[01:19] <skavenge> Can someone tell me why I'm getting this error when trying to erase a cdrw with k3b? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17575 thanks ..
[01:19] <Warbo> Nvidia, not ATI :)
[01:20] <Warbo> Also the system-tray type thing ALWAYS crashes Compiz for me
[01:21] <GUARDiAN|nb> hi
[01:21] <RegalDrac> do u need to install someone to unzip rars
[01:21] <RegalDrac> ?
[01:21] <Warbo> RegalDrac: unrar-nonfree I think
[01:21] <Warbo> !rar
[01:21] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[01:21] <GUARDiAN|nb> does anyone of you know if there is a tool that's able to shutdown a windows-pc from linux?
[01:21] <Warbo> GUARDiAN|nb: Hammer?
[01:21] <Warbo> GUARDiAN|nb: DDoS maybe?
[01:21] <Warbo> :)
[01:22] <mcphail> GUARDiAN|nb: i suppose you should be able to with rdesktop
[01:22] <GUARDiAN|nb> ;-)
[01:22] <GUARDiAN|nb> i need a non-exploiting scriptable solution
[01:22] <qwzybug> so when is Gnome going to get a column view?
[01:22] <pump> i'm sorry i'm back
[01:23] <Warbo> qwzybug: As soon as you install an app which can do it. As for Nautilus, I don't know
[01:23] <arooni> Sir_Fawnpug: you there?  i got it.. (asked in #efnet|ubuntu... had to get the dns working and change it to <IP_ADDRESS> and that worked for some reason)
[01:23] <Android> is the installer for ubuntu fairly straightforward? (im new to linux and want to make sure before i start)
[01:23] <Warbo> Android: Extraordinarily
[01:23] <Reimu> Android: extreemly straitforward, don't worry about a thing, (I was worried too)
[01:23] <andy-> Whats a good media player? rythmbox sux..
[01:24] <Warbo> !amarok
[01:24] <ubotu> amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.1 and packages are available for Kubuntu at: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.1.php
[01:24] <GUARDiAN|nb> i like mplayer
[01:24] <ardchoille> Android: I have a 7 year old niece who installed Ubuntu all by herself :)
[01:24] <qwzybug> Warbo: right, right... I'd love to see it in nautilus, though. column view is a really intuitive way to navigate the FS. much better than the tree view/win explorer in my opinion.
[01:24] <andy-> thought amaroK was for kde
[01:24] <Reimu> amaroK gives me 100% CPU O_O
[01:24] <Warbo> qwzybug: I like spatial
[01:24] <pump> ardchioille: really? :|
[01:24] <alinushak> how can i reset my repozitories from console?
[01:24] <Warbo> !listen
[01:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about listen
[01:24] <Reimu> it is, but everyone likes it so much they install KDE just for it
[01:24] <Warbo> dammit
[01:24] <qwzybug> Warbo: so you have folders open in new windows?
[01:24] <dli> alindeman, sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:24] <Shizboom> anyone use something else other than azerues for torrents?
[01:24] <dli> Reimu, dapper is buggy :)
[01:25] <Warbo> andy-: There is a media player called Listen which I like to use as well as Amarok. I will get a URL for it
[01:25] <Laibsch> Shizboom: mldonkey
[01:25] <Laibsch> I repartitioned my HD and made /var a separate partition.  Now /var/run and /var/lock are not mounted as tmpfs anymore.  I read through /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs but cannot seem to figure this out by myself.
[01:25] <Reimu> dli: sigh, I guess I'll have to deal with it
[01:25] <aLPHa_LeaK> ardchoille: wow :)
[01:25] <charle97> i use gnome-btdownload for torrents
[01:25] <Warbo> !banshee
[01:25] <skavenge> amarok runs fine under gnome as well
[01:25] <ubotu> Audio/MP3 Players: amaroK, Audacious, Banshee, Beep-media-player, JuK, quodlibet, Rhythmbox, XMMS ; Video players: Totem, Xine, Mplayer, VLC - also see !codecs
[01:25] <Shizboom> hmmm
[01:25] <aLPHa_LeaK> i use btdownload-headless for torrents
[01:25] <andy-> Warbo:  thx.
[01:25] <dli> Reimu, I think it's time to install debian :)
[01:25] <alinushak> how can i reset the repositories from terminal?
[01:26] <Shizboom> i gave up on getting proftp to work and am just using ssh :P
[01:26] <eragon24> how do i create a game-playing bot??
[01:26] <Warbo> andy-: Add this to Synaptic's Settings>Repository>Add>Custom box "deb http://theli.free.fr/packages/dapper/ ./"
[01:26] <Sir_Fawnpug> arooni, I'm glad to hear it. Sorry, I had to answer the phone, that whas why I did not respond immidiately.
[01:26] <GUARDiAN|nb> Shizboom: i use transmission
[01:27] <alinushak> thats a problem
[01:27] <Sir_Fawnpug> I think I'm going to open enother beer
[01:27] <alinushak> when i clic repositories the window appears and disappears
[01:27] <Shizboom> GUARDiAN|nb - happen to have a link to that?
[01:28] <andy-> Warbo: done
[01:28] <Shizboom> nm
[01:28] <arooni> ok so how do i set a static ip address that wont change (i.e. i want to connect to my linksys router.... but *always* have the ip address of <IP_ADDRESS>  for example)
[01:28] <Warbo> andy-: If you reload then listen will be available
[01:28] <andy-> aah found it
[01:28] <andy-> thx Warbo
[01:28] <kdag> i will like to test ubuntu,
[01:28] <spades> arooni set a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces or using the network admin tool
[01:28] <kdag> i have downloaded the cd
[01:28] <ic56> eragon24: have you created other types of bots?
[01:29] <stevekl> Give it to me straight, doc: does google earth work well with linux nowadays?
[01:29] <barktpolar> Wait, can ALSA be configured by PnP soundcards?
[01:29] <Android> one other thing, what type of partition do i need to create to intall ubuntu in?
[01:29] <gteppel__> i have access to another server with nmap, how can i check if a machine a specific udp port open?
[01:29] <arooni> spades: so im int the 'network tools' part but i dont see an option
[01:29] <alinushak> my repositories window appears and disappears again when i open it
[01:29] <GUARDiAN|nb> shizboom: gotta search, wait
[01:30] <alinushak> what shall i do
[01:30] <spades> arooni network tools is something different, look for network admin
[01:30] <Warbo> Android: Logical volume, logical partition, extended partition, RAID device, etc. Anything. It can use ext2, ext3, reiserfs and xfs partitions for /
[01:30] <kdag> i have already gentoo installed on the HD, its 35gig, and im using 4 or 5, could i use the gparted inside the ubuntu liveCD installer to create a new partition out of the 35gig parition that i have?
[01:30] <spades> arooni or just run gksudo network-admin from a terminal or run dialog
[01:30] <Android> does the installer create the partitions?
[01:31] <Android> or do i need to create them manually first
[01:31] <GUARDiAN|nb> Shizboom: http://transmission.m0k.org
[01:31] <Warbo> kdag: Usually. If it doesn't work try the command line tools, since GParted isn't perfect yet :(
[01:31] <Warbo> Android: Installer does it (unless you want to use LVM)
[01:31] <Android> im not sure exactly what LVM is
[01:31] <Android> so im guessing i dont need it
[01:31] <Warbo> !lvm
[01:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about lvm
[01:32] <Warbo> nope
[01:32] <Warbo> Android: It is useful for spreading partitions over multiple devices. (Fedora uses it by default I think)
[01:32] <arooni> spades: i got it now :P thanks
[01:32] <mcphail> Android: there's a reasonable intro to LVM on debian-administration.org
[01:32] <Android> i only have 1 230 gig HD
[01:32] <Android> so no need
[01:32] <Android> i think
[01:32] <arooni> what the heck is <IP_ADDRESS> and why did that ip address make my ubuntu connect to the internet
[01:32] <kdag> Warbo, i havent tried cause i want to have a dual boot to have the chance to compare and all, but im courious if the gparted option will resize thise reiserfs partition withouth deleting its contents?
[01:33] <Warbo> kdag: It will not delete anything without telling you that it is going to. I haven't tried resizing a reiserfs partition with gparted before, so I don't know whether it will let you
[01:33] <SurfnKid> what the heck are the dropplets for with SHFT + F9 on XGL
[01:34] <eragon24> will some1 tell me a place where i can get basic programming codes for a game-playing bot??
[01:34] <josh> where can i get the xgl package?
[01:34] <SurfnKid> sup spades
[01:34] <mrmania> how did u get XGL running?
[01:34] <h4v0k> i need a question answered
[01:34] <spades> arooni <IP_ADDRESS> is level3 dns server
[01:34] <SurfnKid> josh,  are you on Dapper
[01:34] <kdag> ok Warbo tx for sharing your experinces
[01:34] <kdag> :)
[01:34] <josh> im going to be as soon as this dist-upgrade is done
[01:34] <mrmania> how do you get XGL running on Dapper?
[01:34] <Warbo> !xgl
[01:34] <h4v0k> i a pkg i get has a debian binary file in it how do i make it work
[01:34] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[01:34] <kdag> good begining in my ubuntu experience
[01:34] <eragon24> will some1 tell me a place where i can get basic programming codes for a game-playing bot??
[01:35] <Warbo> h4v0k: dpkg -i packagename.deb ?
[01:35] <SurfnKid> josh, cool then you're doing exactly the same steps i did, and it works
[01:35] <Android> how easy is it to share files between windows and linux? i think i read something about a different type of partition?
[01:35] <Warbo> !samba
[01:35] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:35] <mrmania> try using samba
[01:35] <Android> thanks
[01:35] <dli> Android, dual boot?
[01:35] <eragon24> will some1 tell me a place where i can get basic programming codes for a game-playing bot??
[01:35] <h4v0k> Warbo, yeah but it doesnt have an extention (.deb) is it still the same
[01:35] <odla> does anyone know a nice green metacity theme like suse's chlorophyll?  i can't seem to find one anywhere
[01:36] <mcphail> eragon24: this is the wrong channel. See /topic
[01:36] <mrmania> does anyone know where to get a BASIC compiler for Dapper?
[01:36] <eragon24> thnx
[01:36] <Android> sorry, yea i was meaning dual boot
[01:36] <Android> rather than networking
[01:36] <Warbo> h4v0k: Well a Debian (or Ubuntu) package usually ends in .deb. If not then it probably isn't a Debian package
[01:37] <eragon24> mcphail: it says theres no such channel as /topic
[01:37] <dli> Android, fat is the stable way, you can install ext2fsd in windows also
[01:37] <mcphail> Android: create a FAT partition
[01:37] <Android> do i do that during the installer?
[01:37] <Android> or manually?
[01:37] <josh> man i cant wait till i get my enterprise 3000 and can back all my crap up on it and then do a computer reformat/reinstall of ubuntu dapper
[01:37] <eragon24> mcphail: it says theres no such channel as /topic
[01:38] <josh> eragon24: thats because there is no channel called /topic
[01:38] <Warbo> h4v0k: Android either. Probably easier in the installer
[01:38] <josh> all channels will be #channelname
[01:38] <h4v0k> k
[01:38] <Warbo>  /join #channel I think
[01:38] <josh> so even if there is a "topic" channel... u aint gonna find it with a .
[01:38] <dli> Android, you can make the fat partition in windows also
[01:38] <eragon24> mcphail said there was
[01:38] <Android> aright, will windows recognise a FAT partition by default?
[01:38] <mcphail> eragon24: type in "/topic" - you will see that this channel is not for discussing gaming bots
[01:38] <josh> eragon24: try /join #topic
[01:38] <Android> or do i need to reconfigure something?
[01:39] <josh> and by topic i think he meant whatever you were trying to learn about
[01:39] <Warbo> Android: It will be given some stupid random letter in My Computer like always (which will probably change after every reboot, making path names break)
[01:39] <josh> (ie- i wanna know perl... /join #perl)
[01:40] <Android> alright
[01:40] <Android> thanks for all your help
[01:40] <eragon24> "/topic"
[01:40] <Android> i think im pretty much ready to go tomorroe
[01:40] <Warbo> Android: Make sure it is one of your first 3 partitions though
[01:40] <Android> *w
[01:40] <SonicChao> eragon24: No quotes
[01:40] <Android> why does it need to be in the first 3?
[01:40] <Android> windows?
[01:41] <Warbo> Android: PC partition tables can only hold 4 partitions, so the last one is usually made to fill the rest of the device and then "extended" partitions are made INSIDE that one. I don't think Windows understands this, so make it one of the first three
[01:42] <Android> ah
[01:42] <SurfnKid> any idea as to why 1. amaroK is now crashing like never before, and 2. XGL/Compiz restarts on its own suddenly
[01:42] <Warbo> SurfnKid: Maybe because they are both unstable? :)
[01:42] <SurfnKid> after I did a dist-upgrade
[01:42] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: XGL, at #ubuntu-xgl
[01:42] <Warbo> SurfnKid: Is it amarok 1.4.1?
[01:42] <SurfnKid> Warbo, but amaroK was super stable on Breezy
[01:42] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: and, um, I think there is an #amarok channel
[01:42] <SurfnKid> SonicChao, ok thx
[01:42] <SurfnKid> oh dang
[01:42] <SurfnKid> heh
[01:42] <dou213> hey,when is automatix 2 out?
[01:42] <SurfnKid> let me check Warbo
[01:43] <Warbo> dou213: The later the better
[01:43] <apokryphos> dou213: /msg ubotu automatix
[01:43] <dou213> Warbo, why?
[01:43] <SonicChao> dou213: Automatix???????
[01:43] <SonicChao> dou213: Don't use it...it destroys systems </hint>
[01:43] <SurfnKid> 1.39
[01:43] <SurfnKid> 1.3.9
[01:43] <Warbo> dou213: Well, Automatix 1 seems to screw systems up pretty well. What extra crap does 2 have?
[01:43] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: upgrade amaroK i guess...
[01:43] <Warbo> SurfnKid: OK, just that Amarok 1.4.1 is VERY new
[01:43] <dou213> yes, but i've heard they want to make compiz in it
[01:44] <SonicChao> dou213: Oh good lord...
[01:44] <SonicChao> dou213: This channel will be filled like never before!
[01:44] <mcphail> compiz is quite good at destroying systems as well...
[01:44] <apokryphos> !amarok
[01:44] <ubotu> amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.1 and packages are available for Kubuntu at: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.1.php
[01:44] <SurfnKid> ok thx, I gotta figure out a few things, like why is gstreamer not an option on the output anymore, synaptic shows it as loaded, mmm funny hehe
[01:44] <SonicChao> mcphail: yes it is...
[01:44] <Warbo> dou213: Wow, so the ARE planning to screw up more systems? I wonder how they will implement XGL? Probably delete a few config files, overwrite some libraries.....
[01:44] <SurfnKid> brb
[01:44] <dou213> haha
[01:45] <SonicChao> Warbo: No, they'll replace 'sources.list' with 'AUTOMATIX PWNS YOU.  LOL"
[01:45] <apokryphos> dou213: easyubuntu is a decent enough alternative (/msg ubotu easyubuntu)
[01:46] <dou213> tried that... i just try to make my compiz to work... that's why i hope automatix will make it
[01:46] <SonicChao> dou213: Why you want Compiz is FAR BEYOND me.
[01:46] <GigaClon> how can I disable the alt- move behavior?
[01:46] <dou213> hmm... because of the eye-candies
[01:46] <SonicChao> dou213: Useless eyecandy...I knew it
[01:46] <SonicChao> XD
[01:47] <apokryphos> it's not really useless
[01:47] <SonicChao> This Celeron M processor would catch on fire with Compiz...
[01:47] <dou213> well, depends on ur system, that's right
[01:47] <apokryphos> there are clear useful accessibility enchancments (zoom, expose-type feature, better visualisation of desktops for new users) etc
[01:47] <Warbo> I for one LOVE being forced into a single line of desktops
[01:47] <olrrai_X> any know a good pxes image to boot a virtual machine ?
[01:47] <SonicChao> apokryphos: You serious?
[01:48] <SurfnKid> SonicChao, catch on fire why? whats the speed
[01:48] <SonicChao> apokryphos: All I've seen was a stupid cube
[01:48] <apokryphos> SonicChao: deadly
[01:48] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: You don't even want to know
[01:48] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: Pretty fast...but it has crappy fans
[01:48] <apokryphos> SonicChao: then you didn't try it properly, or didn't take note of the usefulness of the demos. Some of the things are incredibly useful.
[01:48] <SurfnKid> is it on a Dell?
[01:48] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: Gotta be replaced
[01:48] <SurfnKid> oh
[01:48] <apokryphos> and there's nothing wrong with a sweet tooth, too ;-)
[01:48] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: HP Laptop
[01:48] <SonicChao> apokryphos: ;)
[01:48] <SurfnKid> I see
[01:49] <SonicChao> apokryphos: I was just saying...we don't recommend Automatix, at least I don't...
[01:49] <archetypo> is an ethernet crossover cable required to connect to lans (they have auto sensing uplink on each port)
[01:49] <apokryphos> SonicChao: sure, I don't too.
[01:49] <GigaClon> how i can disable alt moving the window around so I can use the alt button as the program wants to
[01:49] <odla> does anyone know how to add photos to an ipod nano?
[01:49] <archetypo> it seems to be working for the most part without but there's some whacky stuff going on
[01:49] <SurfnKid> SonicChao, I dont think Compiz uses a lot of cpu, i think it uses more of the GPU power, but then again i really dont know eevery bit of how it was programmed
[01:49] <rathe> how do you delete a export when u make one
[01:49] <SurfnKid> odla, definitely not
[01:49] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: Is it GPL?
[01:49] <SurfnKid> odla, go to #ipod channel
[01:49] <Warbo> SurfnKid: I know it works on 32MB TNT2 cards
[01:49] <mcphail> SonicChao: compiz doesn't use much cpu
[01:50] <SurfnKid> GPL?
[01:50] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: The General Public License....
[01:50] <SurfnKid> Warbo, yeah so i keep hearing
[01:50] <SonicChao> How could a Linux user not know what that stands for?
[01:50] <SonicChao> :O
[01:50] <apokryphos> mcphail: depends on  your card, and what you're doing with it.
[01:50] <apokryphos> !gpl
[01:50] <ubotu> gpl is the GNU General Public License. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
[01:50] <SurfnKid> SonicChao, but what were you referring to with GPL...
[01:51] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: I met, is it licensed under the GPL
[01:51] <SurfnKid> mcphail, yep it doesnt, but i still wonder why my X restarts
[01:51] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: I'd like to look at the source, is what I mean
[01:51] <SurfnKid> SonicChao, wouldnt know hehe
[01:51] <SurfnKid> ah
[01:51] <mcphail> 0.0%, according to top
[01:51] <GigaClon> I need to use the alt key in a program but when I try to use it, it move the windows instead, can anyone help
[01:51] <SurfnKid> mmm good question, its worth having a look
[01:52] <SurfnKid> mcphail, figured out what the F9 thru F12 keys do for XGL? they drive me nuts i have no idea what each do
[01:52] <SonicChao> SurfnKid: I'll go look
[01:52] <mcphail> SonicChao: not sure if it is GPL, but it is certainly open source. Novell are becoming the good guys.
[01:53] <msarmet> Hi there! I'm trying to make my wireless card work, but I'm having problems...
[01:53] <SurfnKid> SonicChao, wicked,
[01:53] <SurfnKid> Novell rocks
[01:53] <mcphail> SurfnKid: play around with the keybindings in gconf-editor
[01:53] <Warbo> F12 does stuff in Compiz? Would that interfere with F12-G and F12-F type key combos in EUAE?
[01:53] <SurfnKid> msarmet, whats the kind of card
[01:53] <msarmet> It's an INPROCOMM IPN2220
[01:53] <SurfnKid> mcphail, duhh i keep forgetting theyre there
[01:53] <SurfnKid> msarmet, Intel 2200b/g?
[01:53] <SonicChao> mcphail: Ok...just was curious...I like vieweing source as a hobby :D
[01:54] <msarmet> SurfnKid: Yes
[01:54] <DaReD3VIL> hello, im trying to install ubuntu 5.x and i am haveing problems with screen resulution with the boot-cd. i tryed to change it but i will not change. please help :)
[01:54] <SonicChao> mcphail: Especially of the most interesting programs...
[01:54] <SurfnKid> SonicChao, you're the type to keep around when sh** happens and can debug stuff arent ya :]
[01:54] <SurfnKid> !Intel2200
[01:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about Intel2200
[01:54] <mcphail> SonicChao: a very worthy hobby ;)
[01:54] <Oddzball> Hey
[01:54] <msarmet> SurfnKid: I found the driver neti2220.inf (windows XP driver) and tried to install it with ndiswrapper, but it didn't work
[01:55] <grimboy> DaReD3VIL, 5.x has a textual installer, so resolution shouldn't matter.
[01:55] <SurfnKid> msarmet, are you on dapper?
[01:55] <Oddzball> Support channel people, hows it going, i really really need some help.
[01:55] <DaReD3VIL> thanks i will try that
[01:55] <SonicChao> Oddzball: Please ask the question
[01:55] <SurfnKid> Oddzball, shoot
[01:55] <Oddzball> I cant get dual head working on my notebook
[01:55] <SonicChao> mcphail: Just starting learning...can't debug stuff yet...
[01:55] <dli> SurfnKid, ipw2200
[01:55] <SonicChao> mcphail: I like Open Source 'cause it is a good resource for code...
[01:55] <msarmet> surfnkid, I'm starting linux, so I don't know...
[01:56] <SurfnKid> dli thx
[01:56] <Oddzball> abd ive tried a lot of things
[01:56] <SurfnKid> !ipw2200
[01:56] <GUARDiAN|nb> !ipw2200
[01:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about ipw2200
[01:56] <SurfnKid> mm
[01:56] <Dial_tone> I need some new oreilly books on cd/html
[01:56] <dli> !anything
[01:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about anything
[01:56] <GUARDiAN|nb> !yourmomma
[01:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about yourmomma
[01:56] <dli> can someone disable the stupid " I know nothing " responce
[01:56] <SonicChao> GUARDiAN|nb: Unnecessary
[01:56] <SurfnKid> do you know anythingg about anything
[01:56] <grimboy> Oddzball, At the risk of sounding like a noob I'm gonna ask. What is dual head?
[01:56] <SonicChao> Please don't do it again
[01:56] <SurfnKid> :P
[01:57] <Oddzball> Dualhead is running two monitors
[01:57] <GUARDiAN|nb> sorry
[01:57] <NeverSayNever> hello..I have installed Ubuntu with VMWare.It's ok but i have a problem with my keyboard layout.i can not use my ALTGR key...
[01:57] <DaReD3VIL> is their a driver for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG  so it will work on ubuntu ?
[01:57] <SurfnKid> someone smack IPW2200 out of ubotu for msarmet please
[01:57] <msarmet> surfnKid, :) I Know I'm using 5.10 Ubuntu...
[01:57] <Oddzball> Im a linux newb too, but they call it dualhead for some reason
[01:57] <dli> SonicChao, there's no need for ubotu to write that message to channel
[01:57] <GUARDiAN|nb> DaReD3VIL: yes... it's already included (at least with dapper)
[01:58] <SurfnKid> msarmet, DaReD3VIL you both need the same driver I presume, try ubuntuforums.org or the Wiki
[01:58] <SonicChao> dli: True...it would reduce spam...it should say nothing when it knows nothing...you're right
[01:58] <dli> DaReD3VIL, sudo modprobe ipw2200
[01:58] <Oddzball> Anyway SonicChao, isnt there a command you can type in the terminal for the linux kernal that has  GUI interface for setting up DualHead?
[01:58] <SonicChao> dli: In this chan, when someone asks a question, I don't say "I know nothing about _________"....that's a good point.
[01:58] <msarmet> surfnKid, ok, I'll try that. Thanks!
[01:58] <SonicChao> Oddzball: not that i know of
[01:58] <GUARDiAN|nb> SonicChao: users may be tempted to issue the !command again, if the bot doesn't say anything because they think its broken or something
[01:58] <josh> hey... doing this dist-upgrade... is it going to reinstall all my mp3 codecs and all that? i saw it dling the gstreamers but i dont know if it is just going to keep the package on the comp or actually install it
[01:59] <SurfnKid> msarmet, npz
[01:59] <DaReD3VIL> thx dli
[01:59] <abo> what program do we use to record a cd ?
[01:59] <SonicChao> josh: If it doesn't, use EasyUbuntu
[01:59] <SonicChao> !easyubuntu > josh
[01:59] <josh> nah
[01:59] <dli> DaReD3VIL, you can put ipw2200 in /etc/modules
[01:59] <mcphail> SonicChao: xgl is not gpl, but source is free. See http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/xorg/hw/xgl/xgl.h?revision=<IP_ADDRESS>&view=markup&pathrev=xgl-0-0-1
[01:59] <josh> easyubuntu screwed me last time i tried it... same with that... oh what was it called.... automatix
[01:59] <andy-> wow, 'Listen' is amazing.
[01:59] <grimboy> Oddzball, What graphics card are you using?
[01:59] <_DjScrew_> can anyone help me install linksys wusb54g drivers on my fresh install, i don't have another internet connection
[02:00] <dli> abo, k3b from kde is the easiest, sudo apt-get install k3b
[02:00] <GigaClon> I need to use the alt key in a program but when I try to use it, it move the windows instead, can anyone help
[02:00] <grimboy> abo, yeah k3b is awesome, very nero like.
[02:00] <SurfnKid> josh, seems everything upgraded fine, no need to install w32 codecs, just figuring out amaroK keeps crashing, but everything was just working a OK
[02:00] <odla> !R
[02:00] <dli> _DjScrew_, I think it's rt2500, try: sudo modprobe rt2500
[02:00] <ubotu> I know nothing about !R
[02:00] <SonicChao> mcphail: Oh, thanks. I wonder what language that is in...:)
[02:01] <SonicChao> mcphail: probably C...
[02:01] <grimboy> hmm
[02:01] <mcphail> SonicChao: looks like plain old C to me
[02:02] <l_r> ok. i am compiling the kernel with make deb-pkg
[02:02] <DaReD3VIL> this is my first time useing GUI for linux
[02:03] <l_r> i hope the deb package will take care of grub , links to source dir, and so on..
[02:03] <kubuntuneuling> I have the following problem: when I boot my pc it boots normally but sticks in vt1 even though X is loaded as normal in vt7 and I can switch to it with ctrl+alt+f7. what can I do?
[02:03] <GigaClon> I need to use the alt key in a program but when I try to use it, it move the windows instead doing what the program does, can anyone help
[02:03] <SonicChao> Got to go...bye
[02:03] <SurfnKid> l_r, grub! thanx for remindin me i gotta change some stuff there
[02:03] <SurfnKid> SonicChao, cyas
[02:03] <dli> l_r, sudo update-grub
[02:03] <_DjScrew_> dli: will this work without any other form of internet connection
[02:04] <ryanakca> For some reason "HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:4001" keeps on showing up in "env". each time I have to run "export -n HTTP_PROXY". Is there a way to make it permanent (so that it doesn't keep on showing up)?
[02:04] <dli> _DjScrew_, should be so, but I'm not sure about the chipset
[02:04] <l_r> dli, thanks i'll use that if deb-pkg wont update by itself eventually
[02:04] <any> Hi
[02:04] <_DjScrew_> they say it has the broadcom chipset
[02:04] <_DjScrew_> but all the methods i seen of installing them would require another form of connection
[02:04] <dli> _DjScrew_, then, sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[02:05] <alinushak> hi
[02:05] <alinushak> i have a problem with synaptic
[02:05] <l_r> _DjScrew_, do you have problems with your broadcom wifi device?
[02:05] <josh> dapper comes with ssh enabled right?
[02:05] <dli> _DjScrew_, it should give you an interface, then, you need to configure it up
[02:05] <josh> lol i hope so cuz if it dont... im screwed till i get home... :(
[02:05] <_DjScrew_> l_r: i'm trying to install a linksys wusb54g
[02:05] <_DjScrew_> i have no other internet connection
[02:05] <TokenBad> anyone got ut goty iso to mount in ubuntu?
[02:05] <alinushak> he cannpt mark for instalation
[02:05] <dli> josh, not with the server, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[02:06] <shinmen> I'm aving problems with a Soundblaster Live! 24 bits. The mixer works, but I can't play any audio on it.
[02:06] <dli> TokenBad, sudo mount -oloop foo.iso /mnt/foo
[02:06] <l_r> _DjScrew_, make sure to use wpa_assistant, becouse the bcm driver does not support wpa
[02:06] <josh> crap
[02:06] <shinmen> Esd is up, but even if I try using something that doesn't uses esd, it still fails. This is the strace to ogg123

[02:06] <shinmen> And it just halts there.
[02:06] <DaReD3VIL> What is the best/fastest GUI torrent-client to use with linux ?
[02:07] <josh> azeureus
[02:07] <josh> azureus
[02:07] <dli> DaReD3VIL, what about qtorrent
[02:07] <jesse_> hey does anyone know of an alternative to ms publisher? openoffice doesn't seem to have one.
[02:07] <l_r> _DjScrew_, if you use wpapsk as accessing method, make sure to configure wpa_assistant
[02:07] <DaReD3VIL> i thought it was windope-only dli ?
[02:07] <TokenBad> dli, I did that...gives error...
[02:07] <josh> does qtorrent support peerless dl's?
[02:07] <_DjScrew_> l_r no security sir
[02:07] <shinmen> jesse_, scribus.
[02:07] <jesse_> shinmen, thank you
[02:08] <l_r> oh..hehe i am paranoic sometimes
[02:08] <l_r> heh
[02:08] <_DjScrew_> yeah
[02:08] <_DjScrew_> well i'm going to give it a shot
[02:08] <josh> l_r about what?
[02:08] <_DjScrew_> thanks l_r
[02:08] <shinmen> jesse_, No problem.
[02:08] <_DjScrew_> dli: thank you also
[02:08] <l_r> josh, about security issues
[02:08] <josh> u dont want the paparatzi watching u? :P
[02:09] <l_r> heh correct
[02:09] <josh> ahh...
[02:09] <josh> lol
[02:09] <jesse_> shinmen: do you know if it can save to the ms format?
[02:09] <josh> yeah... the press can get annoying... cant fart in public without being in the paper... yeah...
[02:09] <josh> jesse... publisher is webpages right?
[02:10] <jesse_> josh, no publisher is like newspaper articles
[02:10] <DaReD3VIL> what do you mean josh, the press violates your security?
[02:10] <shinmen> jesse_, exports to EPS, PDF, SVG and image. Maybe ms users can import something from those.
[02:10] <rathe> could someone explain to me how to do step 10 on here http://terror.snm-hgkz.ch/gaming/linux/epsxe_howto/
[02:10] <josh> DaReD3VIL: oh yeah... pictures of ball scratching, peeing on the walls... all that :P
[02:10] <rathe> when i try it i get a path issue
[02:11] <rathe> bash: cd: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games: No such file or directory
[02:11] <jesse_> shinmen: maybe it can import pdf's well ill find out its not that much of a problem just would be nice if i needed to edit something at school
[02:11] <rathe> anyone pls help
[02:11] <DaReD3VIL> how long does it take to partition an 80gb hdd ?
[02:11] <josh> jesse... well you can always save as .txt and reconvert at school
[02:11] <shinmen> jesse_, Apart from taking an Ubuntu LiveCD, you could take the installer for Windows. http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Installing_Scribus_on_Win32
[02:12] <TokenBad> anyone got ut goty iso to mount in ubuntu?
[02:12] <josh> DaReD3VIL: depends on what program
[02:12] <rathe> well?
[02:12] <Magdiel> DaReD3VIL: depends
[02:12] <jramsey> fast one i hope; i've inserted a cd, a gnome browse window came up, all is well; i killed the browse window and want to remove the cd but the drive won't open (cd is still mounted??) easiest way to open the drive??
[02:12] <dli> DaReD3VIL, partition is just the partition table, it takes the same time no matter the capacity
[02:12] <DaReD3VIL> on ubuntu install cd
[02:12] <Magdiel> when Ubuntu loads, there appears a screen with Ubuntu written on it!  CAn this logo be changed?
[02:12] <DaReD3VIL> alright, just curious
[02:13] <mikere> DaReD3VIL: partitioning takes very little time - formatting after partitioning can take somewhat longer =)
[02:13] <dli> DaReD3VIL, ext[2/3]  will write ione tables, it takes a while (minutes)
[02:13] <jesse_> shinmen: yeah i could always do that but the school trys hard to stop people from installing programs lol, but its quite easy to bypass stupid windows
[02:13] <dli> DaReD3VIL, jfs is super fast, and you can use jfs
[02:13] <Magdiel> mikere: when Ubuntu loads, there appears a screen with Ubuntu written on it!  CAn this logo be changed?
[02:14] <NeverSayNever> i installed gcc with synaptic.now i want to compile a small program but it gives error.
[02:14] <NeverSayNever> simplescan.c:2:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
[02:14] <NeverSayNever> simplescan.c:3:20: error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
[02:14] <NeverSayNever> simplescan.c:4:20: error: unistd.h: No such file or directory
[02:14] <shinmen> jesse_, Well, it's free software. You could advocate a little bit so that they understand what is that you are installing and the whole idea behind free software.
[02:14] <DaReD3VIL> im already partitioning on the ubuntu install cd
[02:14] <DaReD3VIL> with i mean*
[02:14] <NeverSayNever> how can it not stdio.h???
[02:14] <shinmen> NeverSayNever, Should be on libc6-dev
[02:15] <NeverSayNever> shinmen, u mean i should install that?
[02:15] <shinmen> NeverSayNever, Yeap.
[02:15] <mikere> Magdiel: I would expect it could be changed as linux is like that - but I don't know off hand how to do so myself.  I bet you could google up an answer fairly quickly however
[02:16] <NeverSayNever> ok thanks a lot shinmen.
[02:16] <shinmen> NeverSayNever, build-essential as well.
[02:16] <shinmen> NeverSayNever, No problem.
[02:16] <NeverSayNever> build-essential?
[02:16] <NeverSayNever> what does it mean?
[02:16] <userundefine> Magdiel, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[02:16] <NeverSayNever> and i think libc6-dev is for C.but what about C++?
[02:17] <angasule> how do I set the locale for the console?
[02:17] <jesse_> NeverSayNever: you need build-essential if your going to compile/build from source
[02:18] <NeverSayNever> jesse_,i'm apt-get'ting it
[02:18] <rathe> can someone take 5 min to help me with a problem in private
[02:18] <jesse_> NeverSayNever: ok
[02:18] <aoupi> hi, everyone I just popped in too say 'ps auxf' is much more overvieable than 'ps aux' :)
[02:18] <rathe> i need to pm it so u get all of it
[02:18] <Shannon1> hi everyone,, i need a little help with my new installation of ubuntu 6.06
[02:18] <GigaClon> I need to use the alt key in a program but when I try to use it, it move the windows instead doing what the program does, can anyone help?
[02:19] <rathe> PLEASE?
[02:19] <aoupi> rathe: use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and everyone can help
[02:19] <rathe> no
[02:19] <NeverSayNever> jesse_, what about C++ ?you know which package should i get to compile c++ code?
[02:19] <Shannon1> can anyone give me a little hand.. please
[02:19] <spades> rathe whats the problem? i think the collective room can pitch in more than just 1 person
[02:19] <rathe> sigh w/e, here goes agian
[02:20] <rathe> im installing somethen i got to step 10 here, http://terror.snm-hgkz.ch/gaming/linux/epsxe_howto/
[02:20] <jme> NeverSayNever: g++
[02:20] <rathe> when i do $PATH i get this /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[02:20] <rathe> i dont understand how to do, what it asks
[02:20] <DaReD3VIL> is that a game server rathe?
[02:21] <rathe> Well STEP 10 of STEP 5
[02:21] <MrRio> How do I change the modified time of a file?
[02:21] <rathe> its for emulating psx games
[02:21] <jme> rathe: it just means to copy the file to any of the directories named in your $PATH
[02:21] <aoupi> rathe: you have /usr/local/bin in your path
[02:21] <jme> rathe: /usr/local/bin will work fine
[02:21] <rathe> i dont got a %PATH
[02:21] <rathe> i cant go in /bin
[02:21] <rathe> im confused
[02:21] <rathe> :(
[02:22] <apokryphos> rathe: mkdir ~/bin and put it there
[02:22] <aoupi> raphael: /bin is only for important stuff, don't touch that unless you know what you are doing
[02:22] <nemik> so those of you who use eclipse? how can i copy a line with ctrl+alt+up without gnome switiching my workspace?
[02:22] <smo> MrRio: 'touch filename' will give a 'now' timestamp.  the -t option will let you add an arbitary timestamp
[02:22] <jme> use KDE!
[02:22] <MrRio> smo, cheers :)
[02:22] <jme> or more realistically, edit your GNOME keymapping
[02:22] <aoupi> nemik: can't you change keyboard shortcuts in gnome or eclipse?
[02:23] <rathe> jme:
[02:23] <jme> rathe:
[02:23] <nemik> aoupi: not sure, that's why i'm asking
[02:23] <rathe> im in my /usr/local/bin
[02:23] <rathe> theres nothen in there
[02:23] <LGKeiz> ew
[02:23] <rathe> what do i do
[02:23] <jme> well, that's ok
[02:23] <LGKeiz> MVware + ubuntu = lagtastic
[02:23] <Shannon1> no-one out of 768 users can give a hand to a newbee when she ask,, oufffff c pas drole ca,,
[02:23] <kakei> i am on a liveCd trying to recover my grub,when i do grub-install /dev/sda (i got sata) i get : /dev/mapper/casper-snapshot does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[02:23] <kakei>  any idea?
[02:23] <apokryphos> rathe: it tells you exactly what to do. Put a file with taht code in there
[02:23] <jme> !patience
[02:23] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[02:23] <LGKeiz> Does anyone know how to speed up the process with VMware *
[02:23] <linux_user400354> what does it mean when there is a ~ in a url?
[02:23] <apokryphos> linux_user400354: try it; in a terminal, do: echo ~
[02:23] <jme> rathe: well, that's ok -- your shell will still look in that directory for executables
[02:24] <Shannon1> thx ubotu,, ill remember,,
[02:24] <rathe> i get error permission denied
[02:24] <spades> linux_user400354 in a url usually means its running the site from the userdir outside of his domain, usually used when proper vhost isnt made or to avoid bandwidth calculations on some control panels
[02:24] <apokryphos> rathe: /msg ubotu root
[02:24] <linux_user400354> apokryphos, should people be able to see your home directory from the web?
[02:25] <LGKeiz> Does anyone know how to speed up the process with VMware *
[02:25] <apokryphos> linux_user400354: why do you think they can?
[02:25] <Sir_Fawnpug> Is anybody having trouble with libresidbuilder with dapper?
[02:25] <rathe> i was told i cant go in root
[02:25] <rathe> on this
[02:25] <rathe> just sudo
[02:25] <apokryphos> rathe: /msg ubotu root
[02:25] <m0rph> 3
[02:25] <MrRio> smo, I'm guessing this doesn't work for date created?
[02:25] <linux_user400354> apokryphos i dont know. i am confused
[02:26] <apokryphos> linux_user400354: the character is just a shortcut for $HOME, which is /home/user
[02:26] <Sir_Fawnpug> It's telling me its trying to overwrite a file that's in the package
[02:26] <spades> linux_user400354 look into openbasedir or something like that, it disables ~user from getting web access
[02:26] <apokryphos> linux_user400354: on your computer echo ~ gives something, and on mine it's something different. Just think of it as a variable.
[02:26] <guest> hi channel can someone tell me  im thinking of purchasing a wireless router whats the best  one  or one that will give you least trouble with ubuntu
[02:27] <apokryphos> ohhh, if you're talking about it in *that* sense, then that's something different, yes.
[02:27] <dr_willis> most routers should be ok.. its the wireless cards thats the issue.
[02:27] <apokryphos> guest: have you checked the FAQ?
[02:27] <dr_willis> I tend to stick with the larget brand names and whats on sale. :)
[02:27] <MrRio> guest, I have a linksys, no issues with cheap dell laptops and my D-link wireless cards
[02:27] <dr_willis> Yea - Dlink and Linksys are about all i use
[02:28] <dr_willis> I got a little Linksys 'mini' router for $30 that does ok.
[02:28] <guest> nope not yet ... jsut looking feedback at the min ...
[02:28] <dr_willis> dont get one with all the fancy 'new' gizmo-thangs. :P
[02:28] <jramsey> guest, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[02:28] <apokryphos> guest: yes, that's where you can get a lot of feedback from (the FAQ).
[02:28] <guest> dont know that much about  wireless
[02:28] <guest> cool ...
[02:29] <nathan> can anyone point me to a samba tutorial?
[02:29] <Shizboom> i uninstalled sun-java-jre and am now trying to reinstall and its telling me i doesn't exist, any ideas?
[02:29] <nathan> numourus google searches led me nowhere
[02:30] <apokryphos> nathan: /msg ubotu samba
[02:30] <nathan> ok
[02:30] <docta_v> nathan: you can find a howto for anything here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html
[02:30] <nathan> whoa, thanks
[02:31] <apokryphos> as ubotu will tell you, there's guides in the official documentation
[02:31] <jramsey> what is the pkg name that includes cvs?
[02:31] <kakei> i am on a liveCD trying to recover my grub,when i do grub-install /dev/sda (i got sata) i get : /dev/mapper/casper-snapshot does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. any ideas?
[02:31] <apokryphos> jramsey: cvs, maybe?
[02:31] <docta_v> jramsey: try apt-cache search apt
[02:31] <docta_v> err
[02:31] <docta_v> apt-cache search cvs
[02:31] <dli> kakei, try the grub command line
[02:32] <apokryphos> kakei: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l please
[02:32] <apokryphos> dli: that *is* the grub commandline.
[02:32] <dli> apokryphos, no
[02:32] <kakei> apokryphos, cannot open /proc/partitions
[02:32] <docta_v> jramsey: looks like it's cvsutils
[02:32] <gnomefreak> jramsey: cvs is its own package
[02:32] <apokryphos> kakei: huh? That's all you get?
[02:33] <kakei> apokryphos, yes
[02:33] <apokryphos> kakei: are you sure you did that exactly: sudo fdisk -l   (lowercase L)
[02:33] <jramsey> gnomefreak, apt-get install wants the breezy cd; anyway i can force it to load it from the web?
[02:33] <kakei> i am chrooted apokryphos will try like user
[02:33] <apokryphos> jramsey: yes, see the FAQ.
[02:33] <guest> so  if  im looking a wireless router  any well known one should work ?
[02:34] <apokryphos> kakei: no need to chroot, get out of that :P
[02:34] <gnomefreak> jramsey: put a # infront of the cdrom repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list and take the # away fromt he rest
[02:34] <apokryphos> guest: more or less, for specific success comments, see the FAQ which will guide you to the hardware section.

[02:35] <guest> iv a wireless internal card that does work but  im thinking  of taking windows of the xp box .... but the modem im using dosent work   welll iv tried  but gave up on it ....
[02:35] <apokryphos> kakei: which is your root?
[02:35] <kakei> sda2
[02:36] <DaReD3VIL> is it normal for a partition to take over 30mins?
[02:36] <DaReD3VIL> im useing the ubuntu bootdisk
[02:36] <dli> DaReD3VIL, no :( try jfs now
[02:36] <apokryphos> kakei: ok, do this: sudo grub, once the prompt loads: root (hd0,1) and then: setup (hd0)
[02:37] <DaReD3VIL> where is it located ?
[02:37] <MTecknology> I have mozilla firefox with the mplayer-firefox extension installed. When I open the link http://www.mp3-host.com/uploads/a4266.bdb85.mp3 it plays the file, how can I choose to download it?
[02:37] <kakei> apokryphos, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17585
[02:37] <apokryphos> kakei: is your /boot not on there?
[02:37] <M4St3RYuRI> i have a problem with amule
[02:37] <kakei> yes its
[02:38] <kakei> is it
[02:38] <M4St3RYuRI> how can i connect to the kad?
[02:38] <dli> DaReD3VIL, if you have made the partitions ( fdisk -l ), do something like: mkfs.jfs /dev/hda2 ( man mkfs.jfs first)
[02:38] <apokryphos> kakei: if it is, what have you done to it? :P
[02:38] <kakei> nothing i promess apokryphos :p
[02:38] <gnomefreak> hey will subversion pull in tars?
[02:38] <cps> MTecknology: right click and choose save to file
[02:39] <apokryphos> kakei: mount your root partition then show us a list of the files in /mount/point/wherever/boot/grub there
[02:39] <MTecknology> cps, there isn't a save to file option
[02:39] <jramsey> gnomefreak, ty that worked; quick cvs question; if i access a cvs repos. via anonymous login, should i have to enter a cvs password? it is prompting for one; this is the www.denx.de linux cvs repos.
[02:39] <apokryphos> gnomefreak: if they're in the svn repository, it should yes.
[02:39] <kakei> apokryphos, device.map  menu.lst
[02:39] <gnomefreak> apokryphos: ty
[02:39] <apokryphos> jramsey: try typing "enter"
[02:39] <gnomefreak> jramsey: dont know
[02:39] <gnomefreak> gonna try this :(
[02:40] <nathan> I have another question: every time I reboot I must re-modprobe ndiswrapper and re-activate wlan0. How can I fix this
[02:40] <apokryphos> kakei: well, something hosed up. You should have more than that
[02:41] <cps> MTecknology: try File > Save Page As
[02:41] <kakei> i no apokryphos =( i no.
[02:41] <apokryphos> kakei: that certainly wouldn't have happened from just install windoze
[02:41] <DaReD3VIL> okay, when i try and partition my drive i get this error, "Error while resizing/movineg /dev/hda1"
[02:41] <gdb> is anyone here about to install dapper on a system fresh?
[02:41] <kakei> apokryphos, =( fucking winbloze
[02:41] <gdb> or has just done so without installing any additional software other than updates?
[02:41] <nathan> gdb: I just did
[02:41] <gnomefreak> kakei: watch your language please
[02:41] <kakei> gnomefreak, sorry
[02:41] <cstrippie> Hey all, installed XGL into Gnome, but it worked poorly so I uninstalled it.  Now I have no window manager in Gnome - all windows appear in upper-left corner and cannot be moved...HELP?!??!
[02:42] <gdb> nathan: could you possibly pastebin the outout of dpkg --get-selections for me, please?
[02:42] <apokryphos> kakei: it *wouldn't* have been down to windoze, it wouldn't touch partitions like that.
[02:42] <nathan> sure
[02:42] <gdb> nathan: I'm looking for a list of packages installed by default, right off the CD, before any user customizations have occured.
[02:42] <kakei> apokryphos, i am reinstalling the kernel (chrooted)
[02:42] <gdb> nathan: Thank you very much!
[02:42] <apokryphos> kakei: reinstall grub then, too.
[02:42] <gnomefreak> wish i knew what i was doing :(
[02:43] <apokryphos> gnomefreak: what are you doing? ;-)
[02:43] <nathan> gdb:I added a few programs, sorry
[02:43] <gnomefreak> i dont know lol
[02:43] <kakei> argh
[02:43] <kakei> nothing

[02:43] <kakei> brb
[02:43] <gdb> nathan: Ah, ok, no worries. :-)
[02:43] <nathan> Every time I reboot I must re-modprobe ndiswrapper and re-activate wlan0. How can I fix this?

[02:46] <dash`> any suggestions?

[02:48] <charles_> hello, could someone tell me how to use the script that is suggested in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=108791&highlight=iwpriv+ra0+set+WPAPSK%3D%22mypasswd%22
[02:49] <apokryphos> andy-: if you installed from ubuntu it's as simple as a dpkg -l|grep nvidia, if not..... check your Xorg log, it's listed there.
[02:49] <charles_> it's not clear to me where I put that script and how to run it at boot...
[02:50] <andy-> apokryphos: thx
[02:50] <micker> hey there... having a weird problem.  I installed 5.10 on my notebook and everything worked fine at home all weekend last week.  Then on monday I took it into to work with me and once booted, the mouse and the wireless no longer work.. strangest thing.   anyone mind helping me try to fix it?
[02:50] <neon> what package includes g++ ?
[02:51] <apokryphos> neon: g++ ;-)
[02:51] <GigaClon> build-essential
[02:51] <apokryphos> neon: though you probably want build-essential
[02:51] <gnomefreak> neon: build-essential
[02:52] <neon> yup :P
[02:52] <neon> 10x
[02:52] <micker> sorry, not 5.10... I had had 5.10.. its got 6.06 on it
[02:52] <GigaClon> how can disable alt+drag window moving
[02:53] <GigaClon> my program need alt-drag and ubuntu is not letting it have it
[02:53] <cps> GigaClon: go to System>Preferences>Windows
[02:54] <rathe> whats the line command to un 7zip somethen with a password
[02:54] <Tonren> GigaClon, what do you mean by "alt + drag", exactly?
[02:55] <micker> if I do a cat /proc/bus/input/devices the touchpad doesnt even show
[02:55] <GigaClon> mouse drag
[02:55] <GigaClon> the windows pref worked
[02:56] <LjL> Tonren: dragging a window by keeping the left mouse button pressed not necessarily just on the title bar, but anywhere in a window. keeping Alt pressed during the operation allows that
[02:56] <dash`> a while back, I was told by somebody [not sure if it was here or elsewhere]  that the best setup for audio was to use ALSA for both the default sink and the default source [using Ubuntu] , but some apps don't have any sound, like Totem media player.  Any ideas why this is, or how to make it better?
[02:56] <Tonren> LjL, that is, like, the coolest thing ever.
[02:56] <cps> rathe: have a look in man 7z
[02:56] <ben_> hey is there like a media player that plays wmv's through the web browser?

[03:03] <gnomefreak> i have heard 8 will not be built for linux but 9 might be
[03:04] <ben_> that would be good
[03:04] <VR_> dreamcatcher5172: i'm aware that there is flash support, but some things won't play because they require flash 8 or 9, or what have you.
[03:04] <ben_> flash games cant be played because no text shows up
[03:04] <dionnow> Also is there a way to access my files from my HD install from the live CD?

[03:05] <dou213> hey anoybody can help with web publishing? i have some issues i can't figure out.. like, how can i transform my http:/ip.adress in something like : www.myplace.com... i think with a DNS server running on the machine like SimpleDNS, but what about the domain name? must i get one? is it free?
[03:05] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> is there a place that only has linux extentions for firefox?
[03:05] <sharms> dou213: offtopic
[03:05] <dou213> shachaf, sry
[03:05] <spades> dou213 domains cost money, some might have some free offer but there is always a catch
[03:05] <dou213> sharms, just asking...
[03:06] <dou213> spades, can we prv? it's offtopic.
[03:06] <spades> dou213 might wanna check with your isp regarding running a server policy
[03:06] <sharms> take it to #ubuntu-offtopic guys
[03:06] <LjL> VieLGuS-KuTaS: can't you just use the standard extensions page's search options?
[03:06] <Muelli> hm. is is possible to send mails with thunderbird timeshifted?
[03:06] <dash`> what should my Multimedia Systems Selector settings be?
[03:06] <dash`> they don't mean much to me atm
[03:07] <cps> dash`: have you messed them up?
[03:07] <dash`> I don't think so
[03:08] <dash`> I was told that ALSA for both audio is best, but Totem doesn't work, and other things too
[03:08] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> LjL: i think i can
[03:08] <cps> dash`: what happens if you click the test button
[03:08] <dash`> Failed to construct test pipeline for 'ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture'
[03:08] <dash`> on both
[03:08] <LjL> VieLGuS-KuTaS: well, since it lets you choose to only search for Linux extensions, that should do it
[03:08] <cps> dash`: set it to autodetect and try again
[03:09] <dash`> no autodetect option....
[03:09] <dr_willis>   dash`  thats ok. :P we are used to it.,
[03:09] <hakanw> if I want to make my ubuntu-server a svn-server, is the best step to use libapache2-svn ?
[03:10] <cps> dash`: it should be in the menu where you selected ALSA
[03:10] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> LjL: yeah , i figured why it doesnt work , couse im using the trunk
[03:10] <hakanw> I just apt-got it, and seems like it should be enough (except for all configuration)
[03:10] <dash`> ALSA, ESD, OSS, or custom
[03:10] <LjL> VieLGuS-KuTaS: uh?
[03:10] <cps> dash`: oh ok, try ESD then
[03:10] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> LjL: trunk is the latest alpha bulds?
[03:10] <dash`> same result
[03:11] <VieLGuS-KuTaS> LjL: of firefox3 , i think
[03:11] <cps> dash`: and OSS?
[03:11] <dash`> same
[03:11] <LjL> VieLGuS-KuTaS: oh
[03:11] <dash`> I did get a notice a bit ago that my kernel has been updated, but I have not rebooted yet, would that do it?
[03:11] <cps> dash`: do you have any programs running that use sound?
[03:12] <dash`> beep media atm, works fine
[03:12] <cps> dash`: ah I see, try closing it and then try testing the three options again
[03:12] <dash`> X-Chat doesn't seem to want to play any sound beyond the PC speaker though
[03:13] <Bdubya> anyone got any good games for linux?
[03:13] <dash`> OSS works for the default sink when everything else is off, but default source still gives errors on all of them [except 'Silence']
[03:13] <ljlolel> i love ubuntu!
[03:13] <Muelli> Bdubya: tetrinet :) nexuiz is more.. action ;-)
[03:14] <VR_> frozenbubble!
[03:14] <Muelli> you could play all games based on any quake engine
[03:14] <eragon24> frozenbubble is fun
[03:14] <Bdubya> thanks
[03:14] <Bdubya> i like playing monopoly but theres not many who plays
[03:14] <cps> dash`: does alsa or esd work for the sink?
[03:15] <dash`> no
[03:16] <cps> dash`: the problem with OSS is that only one program can access the sound card at a time
[03:17] <dash`> thats not so good
[03:18] <cps> dash`: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[03:18] <osfameron> it sucks
[03:18] <dash`> 5.10
[03:18] <osfameron> it means you can't receive a skype call when you're playing music
[03:19] <LjL> osfameron: complain to the smart guys at Skype who access OSS directly ;-)

[03:21] <osfameron> LjL: yarr, I'm aware that it's skype's fault, but still sucks a bit
[03:21] <LjL> !tell osfameron about skype
[03:21] <dash`> think so
[03:21] <Muelli> osfameron: Don't use skype anyway. It's evil
[03:21] <LjL> osfameron: the article has a few tips to solve or workaround the sound problems
[03:21] <dash`> its called "Enable sound server startup<

[03:25] <ToHellWithGA> are tor servers banned here?

[03:25] <apokryphos> ToHellWithGA: yes
[03:25] <rathe> No
[03:25] <rathe> it dont work
[03:25] <rathe> sigh
[03:25] <rathe> it HAS a PASSword
[03:25] <Eleaf> apokryphos, what do you mean?
[03:25] <LjL> rathe: yeah. and? for me, that command merely causes 7z to prompt "Enter password:"
[03:26] <apokryphos> Eleaf: huh?
[03:26] <Eleaf> apokryphos, tor servers banned?
[03:26] <Eleaf> what?
[03:26] <linux_user400354> does ubuntu server have anything that ubuntu does not have?
[03:26] <ToHellWithGA> Eleaf: tor is the onion router, an anonymizing proxy
[03:26] <Eleaf> I know what tor is.
[03:26] <Eleaf> I use it.
[03:26] <eragon24> apokryphos: wat are tor servers?
[03:26] <Eleaf> Why in the world is it banned?
[03:26] <ToHellWithGA> are you using it now for your irc client?
[03:27] <Eleaf> not on this computer
[03:27] <apokryphos> Eleaf: maybe because it can be so easily abused
[03:27] <Eleaf> ?
[03:27] <rathe> im getting annoyed
[03:27] <garryF> man gzip
[03:27] <apokryphos> rathe: please do so silently, then.
[03:27] <Eleaf> That's very unfortunate for those of us that can't connect to irc without a proxy
[03:27] <ToHellWithGA> i figured if i ident'd with the freenode server i would be able to pop in, but that wasn't the case
[03:27] <rob> tor isn't banned, sometimes we stop connections in the event of abuse using it
[03:27] <rathe> no
[03:27] <apokryphos> Eleaf: connect through an external server.
[03:28] <rathe> people give me stupid commands that dont work :/
[03:28] <Eleaf> apokryphos, that's a proxy
[03:28] <Sasquatch> yea.. i see nothing in the banlist that would suggest tor is banned
[03:28] <Muelli> I am sitting in many channels using Tor (but I don't get cloaked :-) ) and nowhere are problems... so your argumentation fails apokryphos
[03:28] <Eleaf> apokryphos, what if you dont' "have an external server"
[03:28] <apokryphos> Eleaf: why do you need tor for that? Just tunnel the port.
[03:28] <AndyCooll_> linux_user400354: I believe it comes LAMP ready
[03:28] <LjL> rathe: perhaps, just perhaps, your file is either broken or you're doing something wrong, since for "people" those commands work perfectly?
[03:28] <Eleaf> most web hosts block access for irc
[03:28] <apokryphos> Muelli: obvioully I was only talking about cloaked tor members.
[03:28] <garryF> Like corrupted zip file
[03:28] <Eleaf> apokryphos, you think everybody has an external server?
[03:29] <Eleaf> That's absolutely rubbish
[03:29] <LjL> rathe: it would possibly help if you pastebinned the actual output from "7z e filename"
[03:29] <apokryphos> Eleaf: I never said that, I said it's a way to use IRC if your network admin has not permitted it.
[03:29] <linux_user400354> AndyCooll, do you know any other differences between them?
[03:29] <Muelli> apokryphos: but i was saying that I can't see any problem with Tor Users anyway.  Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[03:30] <Eleaf> meh apokryphos ;lol;
[03:30] <LjL> rathe: anyway, please just paste the output of "7z e filename" on the pastebin, so perhaps  can see what is going on
[03:30] <hakanw> Muelli: I edit that file?
[03:30] <garryF> IF the commands work for us, and not for you, something's broken, no matter what you think isn't broken.
[03:30] <hakanw> I have no rcconf command, if it's an app
[03:30] <Eleaf> apokryphos, are you familiar with the notification system, libnotify in gnome?
[03:31] <Muelli> hakanw: you are supposed to install and use that piece of software
[03:31] <apokryphos> Eleaf: nope, don't use gnome.
[03:31] <hakanw> Muelli: ah, gotcha.  thx
[03:31] <AndyCooll_> linux_user400354: Apart from that, as far as I'm aware the Server edition merely installs minus the GNOME or KDE desktop and apps
[03:31] <rob> ToHellWithGA, not really
[03:31] <hakanw> how would it be done if done manually though?
[03:31] <Eleaf> oh, well.  Any notification system I guess..
[03:31] <Eleaf> heh
[03:31] <rob> ToHellWithGA, its open 95% of the time
[03:31] <ToHellWithGA> i can deal with those odds

[03:32] <Shizboom> i have some folders i can't delete even with root access it tells me access denied
[03:32] <hakanw> Muelli: svnserve is not available in the list there
[03:32] <ThatOtherGuy> everything just kinda works!
[03:32] <Shizboom> any ideas?
[03:32] <Muelli> oh. sure, that this services exists in /etc/init.d hakanw?

[03:33] <Sasquatch> i'm having some problems
[03:33] <shadow-be> Shizboom, read only filesystem?
[03:33] <hakanw> Muelli: no, that's why I asked how to make it do like other daemons in there
[03:33] <cps> Shizboom: what folders are these?
[03:33] <Sacro> can anyone tell me how to speed up Ubuntu, its really really slow compared to Arch Linux
[03:33] <hakanw> Muelli: I can start it manually but want it handled automatically on reboot etc
[03:33] <Muelli> Shizboom: try chmod u+w folder/
[03:33] <Shizboom> azerues made some folders
[03:33] <AndyCooll_> Shizboom: Try opening Nautilus as root and then deleting from there. "gksudo nautilus"
[03:33] <IcemanV9> anyone, i got this error message, "postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory", when i issued a command "ifdown" AND "ifup". is it a bug? or can i fix it immediately?
[03:33] <Shizboom> andy i did that
[03:33] <Muelli> hakanw: svnserve is not a deamon I think. You can bind it onto a xinet.d AFAIR But read the svnbook for further instructions
[03:33] <Shizboom> no dice :/
[03:34] <shadow-be> Sacro, compared to Arch, I call gentoo slow...
[03:34] <shadow-be> but you can always shut down some services and do those prelink things...
[03:34] <AndyCooll_> Sasquatch: What boot problems? More details please

[03:39] <kuzmaster> hello all
[03:39] <tristanbob> and I get a Username/Password prompt
[03:39] <albacker> tristil, have you ever heard which of them is the best ?
[03:39] <AndyCooll_> neon: use Automatix and install all the codecs
[03:39] <sharms> Sasquatch: I am guessing your harddrive is /dev/hdb (for 2nd harddrive).  try mkdir /mount/ubuntu then mount /dev/hdb1 /mount/ubuntu
[03:40] <ThatOtherGuy> Gah. I spoke too soon about not needing help. Apparrently my sound isn't working? I heard sounds before, but only out of one speaker. When I go to sound prefs, it is trying to select my USB mic as the promary output?
[03:40] <sharms> !tell ThatOtherGuy about sound
[03:40] <jimcooncat> neon, http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/get.html
[03:40] <tristil> albacker, Bluefish is nice. But like I said, they're all "tag-based".
[03:40] <Sasquatch> sharms: what does that do? and if it's sata what should i replace it with?
[03:41] <kakei> Hi, im trying to recover my grub after windows install, i am on a live cd, i tried grub-install /dev/sda but i get >> /dev/mapper/casper-snapshot does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[03:41] <kakei>  my hard disk is sata any ideas?
[03:41] <jimcooncat> albacker, I like NVU though it's not dreamweaver caliber. Still can do what I need to with it though
[03:41] <sharms> Sasquatch: I can't tell you what it's called, but read through dmesg and you will see it
[03:41] <IcemanV9> !tell kakei about dualboot
[03:41] <tristanbob> so any ideas what credentials I need to use in the cups web interface?  I tried "root" and the sudo password
[03:41] <neon> :o
[03:42] <Sasquatch> heh
[03:42] <Sasquatch> i'll try that later sharms, thanks
[03:42] <ye11owrider311> try your first user tristanbob
[03:42] <Sasquatch> at least i can still get windows to boot :-)
[03:42] <albacker> kay tristil, jimcooncat thanks !
[03:42] <IcemanV9> tristanbob: System > Admin > Printing would be a good method to add a printer
[03:42] <kakei> i dont have a mac IcemanV9
[03:42] <sharms> Sasquatch: if I had an sata drive I could help more, but I am not aware of the naming conventions
[03:43] <hakanw> in the apache2 site conf file, what does NameVirtualHost ''' mean?
[03:43] <hakanw> (or NameVirtualHost *)
[03:43] <tristanbob> IcemanV9: ok, so the first user name, and the sudo password?  I tried that and it didn't work
[03:43] <sharms> tristanbob: your password is the sudo password
[03:43] <jrib> tristanbob: system > administration > printing is probably the best option.  If you really want the web interface, take a look at /usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.Debian.gz
[03:43] <garryF> sata is /dev/sda where a can be a through z and maybe more.
[03:43] <tristanbob> IcemanV9: I can add the printer ok, but the print job appears but doesn't print
[03:43] <linux_user400354> tristil, when could you download edgy eft? i thought it couldnt be downloaded for a while.
[03:44] <kakei> garryF, any ideas?
[03:44] <edmundo_v> Anyone here knows what is the proper way to change the locale of the system?
[03:44] <sharms> tristanbob: check the paper size from the program you print from
[03:44] <IcemanV9> tristanbob: ah. other problem then. is it on? :P
[03:44] <sharms> tristanbob: also turn the printer off and back on
[03:44] <tristanbob> IcemanV9: good question - yes it is on
[03:44] <AndyCooll_> neon: I prefer Automatix to easyubuntu. Automatix (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=177646). Essentially they do a similar job in quickly setting up the basic codecs and stuff to get you going
[03:44] <tristanbob> sharms: I will try that
[03:44] <garryF> kakei I missed the question. Sorry
[03:44] <GMullen> ok I installed Windows Vista (just wanted to see if it was good enough to use yet) but I didn't even think that it would take over the MBR so now I'm in the drapper live CD and hoping there is a way to install GRUB back to the MBR
[03:44] <sharms> tristanbob: I filed a huge bug report on it, but for some reason it worked after I turned it off and back on.  Made no sense.
[03:44] <kakei> Hi, im trying to recover my grub after windows install, i am on a live cd, i tried grub-install /dev/sda but i get >> /dev/mapper/casper-snapshot does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[03:45] <kakei> thats my question gary
[03:45] <kakei> garry
[03:45] <kuzmaster> can somone please tell me why my ubuntu 6.06 hangs on starting networking interfaces in the boot process?
[03:45] <tristanbob> sharms: is this required every time?  or once per reboot?
[03:45] <garryF> Oh, well google for grubfarm, they got a whole write up on installing grub and using it to recover.
[03:45] <sharms> tristanbob: I haven't had to do it since, but who knows.  I generally leave my printer on 24/7 so I hope not
