[03:40] <Vandal9> sorry i have to ask this question again.. so i don't get  confused. i'm tired from messing with this all night.. basically i want to replace xorg.conf with xorg backup config backup
[03:41] <TheVault> Crazytom: My pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10765/
[03:41] <nevermind> crdlb: and i don't want to change my whole system encoding just for a single #
[03:41] <beerockxs> how do i disable the shift-backspace hotkey for restarting X?
[03:41] <BigLebowski> Valdal19: What is your xorg backup called?
[03:41] <enyc> Vandal9: well stop gdm, restore the backup, start gdm
[03:41] <BigLebowski> Vandal, where is it?
[03:41] <xtknight> beerockxs, do you mean ctrl shift backspace?  or is shift backspace doing it for you?
[03:41] <Vandal9> its the one in X11
[03:42] <Vandal9> etc/X11/
[03:42] <beerockxs> xtknight: shift backspace is doing it, too
[03:42] <enyc> Vandal9: yes...
[03:42] <mintol> hi guys
[03:42] <xtknight> beerockxs, that's odd.  do you have compiz or beryl?
[03:42] <enyc> Vandal9: you using normal "gnome" ubuntu (not kubuntu) ?
[03:42] <Lattyware> Is there any way to force Synaptic to install as files are downloaded, rather than downloading then installing?
[03:42] <TheVault> Crazytom: did you get my pastebin?
[03:42] <beerockxs> xtknight: yes, beryl
[03:42] <Crazytom> TheVault, yse
[03:42] <BigLebowski> Well, sudo mv /etc/X11/xorgbackupfilename /etc/X11/xorg.conf then just sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:42] <TheVault> Crazytom: Alrighty
[03:42] <dhaval> enyc: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10766/
[03:42] <BigLebowski> And your backup should be restored and X/GDM restarted
[03:42] <Crazytom> TheVault, done installing yet?
[03:42] <TheVault> Crazytom: Installation is done
[03:42] <Lattyware> As in, If I have 3 packages, and It finishes package 1, can it install package 1 while downloading package 2 and 3?
[03:42] <xtknight> beerockxs, i think it's a bug in XGL or AIGLX (these host Beryl).  you may be able to find help quicker in #beryl or #ubuntu-effects
[03:42] <Crazytom> TheVault, are you going to reboot?
[03:42] <dhaval> enyc: and its still stuck there :(
[03:43] <TheVault> Crazytom: yeah, brb
[03:43] <beerockxs> xtknight: ok, thanks
[03:43] <crdlb> nevermind, who's complaining? my xchat is set to utf-8 too
[03:43] <enyc> BigLebowski: sure... Vandal9 also needs to know how to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  if there is a prblem
[03:43] <Vandal9> thanks again BigLebowskim, and enyc
[03:43] <ott0> how does sudo get room privs for ordinary users?
[03:43] <Vandal9> i am using regular ubuntu gnome
[03:43] <nevermind> crdlb: it's a LUG channel
[03:43] <mintol> hey, i'm running ubuntu 6.10 with GNOME, and I was thinking of installing KDE alongside it.. however, since my hdd space is limited, does anyone perhaps know how much MB the KDE install would approximately take?
[03:43] <enyc> dhaval: hrrm bad mirror I suspect
[03:43] <nevermind> crdlb: they use ISO-8859-1
[03:43] <xtknight> ott0, well a list of users is in /etc/sudoers (or the admin group)
[03:43] <enyc> dhaval: try changing all the "in." for a different mirror site
[03:43] <shane634> mintol, kde is big
[03:44] <enyc> dhaval: i.e. "de.archive.ubuntu.com" or something else
[03:44] <dhaval> enyc: hmm. ok, i will do that.
[03:44] <nevermind> crdlb: but when i set my xChat to that, the conversion has no effect
[03:44] <Vandal9> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  what do i have to do enyc?
[03:44] <mintol> shane634, yea that's what i'm worried about :]
[03:44] <mintol> but how big is 'big'?
[03:44] <razzorz> Morning all
[03:44] <BigLebowski> enyc: if his backup was previously working, he shouldn't have to reconfigure
[03:44] <Vandal9> i don't think my problem is that.. i have a logitech mouse.. and i tried to get my foward back buttons to work but xorg crashed
[03:44] <crdlb> nevermind, you can set it on a per-server basis in the properties window of the network list
[03:45] <crdlb> nevermind, is that what you're doing?
[03:45] <shane634> mintol, it installs a lot of stuff if you are low on disk space don't do it
[03:45] <Popoi> mintol: but you can install just kde-core, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE
[03:45] <dhaval> enyc: nope.. its still stuck there
[03:45] <razzorz> running a ati capture card.... whats the best tvtuner program thats out there?
[03:45] <nevermind> crdlb: right, but it doesn't 'translate'
[03:45] <Vandal9> i stil lhaven't gotten my forward and back button to work on my logitech mouse i followed the instructions given on the website
[03:45] <dhaval> enyc: where does it download everything to?
[03:45] <Faithful> I'm having a real hard time trying to get X running with an ATI 9300 card
[03:45] <TheVault> Alright, rebooted and using my fresh install
[03:45] <mintol> Popoi, sure but how much hdd space would that take approximately, you reckon?
[03:46] <shane634> Faithful, what kinda problems?
[03:46] <BigLebowski> Faithful: call and bitch at ati, then look at the wiki
[03:46] <crdlb> nevermind, you sure you set the encoding for the right irc network?
[03:46] <TheVault> Crazytom: My wifi light is on
[03:46] <Popoi> mintol: when you try to install it, APT will tell you how much space will need
[03:46] <TheVault> Crazytom: which the last time I don't remember it ever being on
[03:46] <crdlb> nevermind, which lug is it?
[03:46] <enyc> dhaval: /var/cache/apt
[03:46] <nevermind> crdlb: yes, the thing is that if you try the same in a terminal, iconv doesn't translate either (ie: echo "" (alt+160) | iconv -t iso-8859-1)
[03:46] <Faithful> shane634: BigLebowski the same usual stuff ... black screen (lockup I guess)
[03:47] <Faithful> BigLebowski: which wiki?
[03:47] <Crazytom> TheVault, is xchat installed
[03:47] <nevermind> crdlb: not listed, they say it's secret :P
[03:47] <TheVault> xchat?
[03:47] <BigLebowski> Faithful: the ubuntu wiki
[03:47] <enyc> dhaval: /var/cache/apt/archives/  actually...  "sudo apt-get clean" clears the cache
[03:47] <shane634> Faithful, have you tried envy?
[03:47] <TheVault> No I don't believe so, want me to install it?
[03:47] <Crazytom> apps internet xchat
[03:47] <Faithful> envy?... what people with nVidia cards?
[03:47] <Crazytom> TheVault, it should be installed
[03:47] <TheVault> crazytom: nope, only gaim
[03:48] <shane634> Faithful, it works for ati as well
[03:48] <dhaval> enyc: i will install it manually and hope it works :)
[03:48] <TheVault> crazytom: got msn, yahoo?
[03:48] <enyc> dhaval: install what?
[03:48] <Crazytom> TheVault, it works better than gain
[03:48] <Faithful> shane634: I will give it a whirl
[03:48] <mintol> Popoi, ah really? I kept trying to get it to tell me, but I couldn't find it.. i'll try that, thanks:)
[03:48] <TheVault> Crazytom: alright, so I do sudo apt-get install xchat
[03:48] <Factory> any reason why an install of xubuntu would hang on a compaq sr1000z ?
[03:48] <shane634> TheVault, yahoo me at shane634
[03:48] <Crazytom> TheVault, sounds good
[03:48] <TheVault> shane634: Alright
[03:48] <razzorz> anyone know of a good progy for my capture card to watch tv .??
[03:49] <enyc> Factory: bad cdrom... bad cpu/ram/motherboard of some form?  does the machine pass "memory test"?  does the "test cd integrity" work?
[03:49] <dhaval>  enyc: the downloaded packages
[03:49] <grout> how can I install a printer on my lamp server?
[03:49] <Factory> enyc to tell the truth I didn't even think to try it.
[03:50] <Factory> enyc, Probably would be the disk
[03:50] <enyc> Factory: check memtest
[03:50] <Factory> enyc since other distros work fine
[03:50] <enyc> Factory: its worth running memtest for some hours.... and seeing that it doesnt give errors or crash... to know the machine is okay
[03:50] <enyc> Factory: and then check cd integrity....
[03:50] <Factory> alrighty roo
[03:51] <Crazytom> TheVault, did it work?
[03:51] <ctothej> are command line options different for p7zip versus the windows version of 7z?
[03:51] <TheVault> crazytom: hold on, yahoo being a jerk right now
[03:51] <grout> I have a lamp server with a usb printer, how can I install the printer on the command line?
[03:51] <enyc> ctothej: not sure... see manpage
[03:52] <Lattyware> Hey all, I'm trying to build wine, and it says I don't have the opengl development headers, how can I fix this?
[03:52] <crdlb> Lattyware, sudo apt-get build-dep wine
[03:52] <shane634> TheVault, i have msn as well shane47143
[03:53] <Winball> sudo aptitude remove whine
[03:53] <Lattyware> crdlb: Thanks.
[03:55] <mintol> hm here's another, perhaps stupid, question.. if in the status bar of the package manager it says '447MB will be used', does that imply the download size, or the (unpacked) install size?
[03:55] <apokryphos> unpacked
[03:55] <gepatino> mintol: afaik, the install size
[03:55] <Keyseir> Anybody here personally installed WoW on edgy using Wine and can endorse a howto?
[03:55] <gepatino> the downloads are cleaned eventually
[03:56] <mintol> so a full KDE install alongside my GNOME would take only 447MB? ;o
[03:56] <novacaine> hi all. I'm trying to install openchrome driver..but when i run ./autogen.sh i get this error configure.ac: 30: required file `./[config.h] .in' not found
[03:56] <mintol> that's not a lot
[03:56] <Lattyware> Keyseir: Just check the AppDB at WineHQ
[03:56] <apokryphos> mintol: they share quite a few things, of course. Ubuntu base system, OO.o, etc
[03:56] <novacaine> is it a problem with the automake version?
[03:56] <Crazytom> TheVault, msn?
[03:57] <mintol> apokryphos, i'm just pleasantly surprised.. i was expecting somewhere along the lines of 243TB
[03:57] <TheVault> crazytom: Shane is helping right now, hang on
[03:57] <TheVault> crazytom: my msn is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:58] <Keyseir> lattyware: swt
[03:58] <Blissex> TheVault: you just begged for a lot more spam :-)
[03:59] <BigLebowski> Blissex: Why would he get spam from a linux chan?
[03:59] <apokryphos> !logs
[03:59] <ubotu> Channel logs can be found at http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs
[03:59] <BigLebowski> ah
[03:59] <apokryphos> and several other places
[04:00] <BigLebowski> Aha, didn't realised it was logged.
[04:00] <BigLebowski> Grr, MAC OS X is a pile of crap
[04:00] <Blissex> BigLebowski: almost everything you say online is going to exists for decades...
[04:01] <Blissex> BigLebowski: Mac OSX is a nice UNIX variant... not too bad overall.
[04:01] <BigLebowski> Blissex: Good :-)
[04:01] <Keyseir> lattyware: I'm not seeing any information on how to install WoW through the appdb entry on it
[04:01] <BigLebowski> Blissex: i was talking about 'cocoa' and ObJC specifically.
[04:01] <Blissex> BigLebowski: not too different from GNU/Linux overall. Which must be good indeed :-).
[04:01] <BigLebowski> And apples dev docs, they're shit.
[04:02] <Keyseir> Anybody here personally installed WoW on edgy using Wine and can endorse a howto?
[04:02] <Blissex> BigLebowski: ahhhh, yes some of the Apple middleware could be better documented and less of a hack. But then we have GNOME too :-)
[04:02] <BigLebowski> Blissex: It's totally different from GNU/Linux, the only similarities are GNU userland.
[04:02] <Blissex> BigLebowski: it is really rather similar, the only difference is the desktop environment...
[04:03] <deep_> Anyoe knows what the first zero in fstab "umask" means?
[04:03] <BigLebowski> Blissex: and the kernel, the way devices are handled, etc.
[04:03] <dun> g
[04:03] <Blissex> deep_: octal...
[04:04] <BigLebowski> It's more NeXT than linux, imo
[04:04] <Blissex> BigLebowski: ah sure, but NeXT was based on a UNIX clone itself.
[04:04] <deep_> Blissex, yeah, but there is 4... and afaik, 3 of them is owner, group and guest.
[04:04] <Factory> Hey, enyc , in the case that it IS my cd integrity that's causing the problem, what would a good iso burner be? so that I can burn it at a lower speed? the one built into gnome runns at the highest possible speed
[04:05] <Blissex> deep_: the leading 0 usually is to indicate the number really is octal, like in C.
[04:05] <Blissex> Factory: the one built into GNOME almost certainly just uses 'cdrecord' as the burning program, and then you can set speed.
[04:05] <deep_> Blissex, aaah. Okay (:
[04:06] <BigLebowski> Blissex: Ya got me there, still the kernel is pretty different
[04:06] <Factory> thanks Blissex =)
[04:06] <Thinkpad_Guru> question guys, what would make samba copy only half of my files during a networked transfer?  It doesn't stop on the same folder or file when tried repeatedly. Any ideas?
[04:06] <Blissex> deep_: to set 'umask' properly you need to understand the 16-bit field for permissions in an i-node.
[04:07] <Blissex> Thinkpad_Guru: our claivoyant advisors are all busy on other lines :-)
[04:07] <deep_> Blissex,  i understand the chmod command? :D haha
[04:07] <Blissex> Thinkpad_Guru: please have a look at the Samba logs for information on possible errors.
[04:07] <deep_> Blissex, and from what i've seen, it's just 7 - the int @ fstab (:
[04:07] <Thinkpad_Guru> where do those logs live at?
[04:08] <JohnPhys> Thinkpad_Guru: most likely in /var/log/something samba
[04:08] <Thinkpad_Guru> JohnPhys, Blissex, thanks..
[04:08] <Factory> so Blissex , not to be a pest, but using the option speed=4 would do the trick?
[04:08] <JohnPhys> Thinkpad_Guru: it's /var/log/samba
[04:09] <Thinkpad_Guru> JohnPhys thanx
[04:09] <edub> good mornign folks
[04:09] <Blissex> Factory: perhaps. Lower speeds for CD burning often give better quality than higher speeds (this does not hold for DVD burning, where lower speeds can give worse quality).
[04:09] <Blissex> Factory: anyhow going lower than 8x or 12x usually is not necessary.
[04:09] <Factory> Blissex, this I've heard. was just curious if I needed to do speed=8x or if speed=8 woudl work
[04:10] <Tominator> hi! my prism 2.5 card doesn't work any more after I installed the newer kernel from the repos (2.6.17-11-generic)
[04:10] <bulmer> got a working freenx installation ? can you give some pointers on how this thing is done right? confusing as heck to get it working not really understanding which key and user do which
[04:11] <Thinkpad_Guru> Thats outstanding, my samba logs are blank
[04:11] <Tominator> does anybody know why? and how can i solve my problem?
[04:11] <shane634> Tominator, which card exactly?
[04:11] <crdlb> Thinkpad_Guru, /var/log/samba/log.smbd  is blank?
[04:11] <woyrz> I have a Dell Intel dual core 2 and none of the installation work. Any ideas
[04:12] <Thinkpad_Guru> crdlb yes
[04:12] <Tominator> oh i don't know... one moment please...
[04:12] <bulmer> Tominator you have your old kernel around? boot off of the old and look in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/  see if there are differences?
[04:12] <ctothej> my system monitor keeps saying that some application are taking up<PHONE_NUMBER>0.0GiB !! why is it doing this?
[04:12] <ctothej> of memory that is
[04:12] <unh0ly> Greetings. :o)
[04:12] <Thinkpad_Guru> crdlb It's just the header copyright, and thats it.
[04:13] <thornomad> Hello everyone. I have  quick bash question.  I am trying to paths to certain file locations and save them into a bash array.  I am using: find -type f -name *.doc | cut -c2- .... this lists all my files with paths, but how do I get each entry into an array ? anyone know ? thanks!
[04:13] <bulmer> ctothej: it has a pid?
[04:13] <ctothej> bulmer: yes
[04:13] <edub> what the fuck???? thats un shit load of mem lol
[04:13] <mbac> my laptop hard disk spins up and down all the time while i'm using ubuntu
[04:13] <crdlb> Thinkpad_Guru, that's not what I thought you mean by blank
[04:13] <mbac> but it doesn't do that with windows
[04:13] <Tominator> shane634: Its a netgear ma311
[04:13] <mbac> what gives?
[04:13] <crdlb> meant*
[04:14] <shane634> Tominator,  hang on a sec
[04:14] <xst> How do I get inkscape 0.45 for ubuntu?
[04:14] <LjL> !language | edub
[04:14] <ubotu> edub: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:14] <crdlb> mbac, if you have enough ram, try lowering the kernel's swappiness
[04:14] <ctothej> bulmer: usually it is fine, but sometimes, it give an insanely large number to some (only some) applications.
[04:14] <Keyseir> Anybody here personally installed WoW on edgy using Wine and can endorse a howto?
[04:14] <woyrz> I have a Dell Intel dual core 2 and none of the installation work that i found on the web site work. Any ideas
[04:14] <gepatino> thornomad: have you tried 'while read VAR' or something like that?
[04:14] <shane634> Tominator, look here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=16396676
[04:14] <mbac> crdlb, i don't think it's swapping
[04:15] <Thinkpad_Guru> crdlb It's blank as in no error info, no it doesn't
[04:15] <Tominator> shane634: oh :) thank you ;)
[04:15] <rp_> xst : it's in synaptic
[04:15] <unh0ly> Maybe someone can help me. I am an on Ubuntu Edgy, running a ATI Radeon x800 with the xorg-drivers from X11 7.2 and when I change to tt1 to tt6 just fails. All I see are tiny blocks of the ubuntu-bootscreen.
[04:15] <shane634> Tominator,  no problem
[04:15] <Blissex> woyrz: we are sorry, but our telepathic advisors are still all busy :-)
[04:15] <xst> synaptic?
[04:15] <crdlb> mbac, by default ubuntu really likes to use the swap even when you have unused ram
[04:15] <thornomad> gepatino: hmm, i did play with the read command, but couldn't find a good explanation of how it works. if you think that is it, let me play with it some more
[04:15] <kenthomson> HELP; Can't play VCDs. I have installed all the codecs at the restrictedFormats page. I have gxine, mplayer, vlc, totem. All fail to play a VCD. When i browse through nautilus to a VCD->Mpegav->Avesaq1.dat, and when i right click that .dat file it suddenly changes icon to become a icon of text-file. When i right-click to see open-with, it displays all text-editors on my system to open that file (ubuntu thinks its text). I can't copy-paste the file to
[04:15] <kenthomson>  my HDD, it tells me that it can't read from source. This happens with ALL the VCDs. I than have to reboot into windows, copy the .dat file to HDD, and than boot back into ubuntu and play it with any of the players-than it works like a charm. Is there someway i can prevent rebooting into windows just to copy the VCD file to my HDD to play it? (thats the only thing that i use windows for nowadays). Please help, this is a seriously annoying problem!!!
[04:15] <cwill1> I've got a short script I need to run when one particular window gains or looses focus;  is there any easy way to do that in metacity?
[04:15] <cwill1> (edgy or feisty)
[04:16] <rp_> xst : yes the one automated installer for linux, system - synaptic then seach for it
[04:16] <woyrz> I have a Dell Intel dual core 2 and none of the installation work that i found on the web site work. The cd launch the kernel but it froze there
[04:16] <Blissex> kenthomson: well, some VCDs are in an odd format, and the Linux CD drivers does not support all VCD formats unfortunately.
[04:16] <kenthomson> Blissex, i am talking about absolutely ALL VCDs
[04:16] <Blissex> kenthomson: however I have seen in the past some patches that help with that. So have a search.
[04:17] <mbac> crdlb, top says swap usage is at zero
[04:17] <bulmer> got a working freenx installation ? can you give some pointers on how this thing is done right? confusing as heck to get it working not really understanding which key and user do which
[04:17] <Blissex> cwill1: use a scriptable window manager :-)
[04:17] <cwill1> Blissex: that's about the most useless response you could've given, thanks :p
[04:17] <gepatino> thornomad: try redirecting your commands through a pipe to 'while read files'
[04:18] <mbac> my guess is windows is keeping the hard disk powered on for a long time, whereas linux is powering it down frequently
[04:18] <Blissex> cwill1: sometimes resizing your ambitions is useful advice...
[04:18] <gepatino> thornomad: then inside the while you'll have a different file inside $file for each cycle
[04:18] <Blissex> cwill1: there are several nice scriptable window managers.
[04:18] <unh0ly> No ideas? :)
[04:18] <ep2011> Hi all :)
[04:18] <cwill1> Blissex: I just recall running across an app that did that for metacity, and was hoping somebody would remember the name
[04:18] <ofer0> what's the default password for root/ssh ?
[04:18] <Blissex> unh0ly: in general repeat questions *in full* and spaced at least 5 mins apart.
[04:19] <Blissex> ofer0: none, you cannot do it.
[04:19] <gepatino> thornomad:  find -type f -name *.doc | cut -c2- | while read file
[04:19] <cwill1> ofer0: there is none
[04:19] <gepatino> thornomad: do
[04:19] <kenthomson> !damn
[04:19] <LjL> !root > ofer0    (ofer0, see the private message from Ubotu)
[04:19] <gepatino> thornomad: echo $file
[04:19] <kenthomson> exit
[04:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about damn - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:19] <kenthomson> quit
[04:19] <gepatino> thornomad: done
[04:19] <cwill1> ofer0: you can set a password, but its strongly discouraged
[04:19] <unh0ly> Blissex: Are you serious?
[04:19] <ofer0> cwill1, okay. thank you.
[04:19] <unh0ly> I don't want to be rude by constantly repeating my question.
[04:20] <ctothej> I had a program launch firefox and it launched it without my plugins. How/why did it do this?
[04:20] <mbac> hmm, after about a minute of inactivity hdparm -C /dev/hda says the drive is on standby
[04:20] <Blissex> unh0ly: yes... Questions scroll, people join, so you cannot assume that people can easily remember your question.
[04:20] <thornomad> gepatino: thanks. let me get that in the script and see if it is working.
[04:20] <mbac> instead of active/idle
[04:20] <unh0ly> Okay, fine. Thank you.
[04:20] <Blissex> unh0ly: also leave at least 5 mins between repetitions, ideally 10.
[04:20] <unh0ly> I will do that.
[04:20] <Blissex> unh0ly: some people take a bit to think about questions, do Google searches, etc.
[04:21] <Blissex> unh0ly: it may take 20-30 minutes to get a comment.
[04:21] <shane634> Blissex, or check the forums
[04:21] <woyrz> I have a Dell Intel dual core 2 and none of the installation work that i found on the web site work. The cd launch the kernel but it froze and it froze on a black screen
[04:21] <Blissex> mbac: is that wrong?
[04:21] <unh0ly> Sure. It's not like I didn't try that, but maybe I'm just searching with the wrong keywords.
[04:21] <Blissex> woyrz: that's very odd.
[04:21] <mbac> blissex, yeah, because going from standby -> active/idle takes about 4 seconds
[04:21] <unh0ly> woyrz: What about the safe mode?
[04:21] <woyrz> i know i cnat find anything on the web
[04:21] <Blissex> unh0ly: I mean to answer a question people may want to take 5-10mins doing Google searches themselves.
[04:22] <drake_> Hey guys
[04:22] <woyrz> i was able to run it on my portable but not on this one
[04:22] <Blissex> mbac: well, 4 s is pretty obvious for resuming, the disk has to spinup again.
[04:22] <unh0ly> Blissex: Yes. I just wanted to point out, that I'm not too much a couchpotatoe to search by myself. :o)
[04:22] <shane634> unh0ly, what is your problem?
[04:22] <mbac> blissex, yes, therefore it's an obnoxious default
[04:22] <Blissex> mbac: the 1min is just the idle timeout. You can change it.
[04:22] <unh0ly> Maybe someone can help me. I am an on Ubuntu Edgy, running a ATI Radeon x800 with the xorg-drivers from X11 7.2 and when I change to tt1 to tt6 just fails. All I see are tiny blocks of the ubuntu-bootscreen.
[04:22] <FluxAR> Hello folks! I need some help. I need to use my notebook in a place where there is no Internet connection and I need to install many packages like mesa libraries (gl, glu, glut) but I don't know how to achieve this with official Ubuntu 6.10 only CD
 :)
[04:23] <mbac> blissex, i can't find where it's set, it's not in /etc/hdparm.conf, for example
[04:23] <FluxAR> Hello folks! I need some help. I need to use my notebook in a place where there is no Internet connection and I need to install many packages like mesa libraries (gl, glu, glut) but I don't know how to achieve this with official Ubuntu 6.10 only CD... could somebody help me? What might I put in sources.list?
[04:23] <Blissex> mbac: 'man hdparm' the '-S' setting.
[04:23] <shane634> unh0ly, sorry can't help with that
[04:23] <cwill1> FluxAR: apt-cdrom add or something like that
[04:23] <unh0ly> FluxAR: You can activate your CD as a repository with synaptic.
[04:23] <Blissex> unh0ly: there are often very many bugs in graphics status save/restore. Usually they get eventually fixed.
[04:23] <LjL> not the desktop CD though, i'm afraid, only the alternate CD...
[04:23] <mbac> blissex, just wondering if ubuntu was setting it on init
[04:24] <Blissex> unh0ly: however, if you are running *any* sort of framebuffer kernel driver disable it, and that usually helps.
[04:24] <cwill1> LjL: you could search the cd for the deb files you need, don't know if that's the best way though
[04:24] <FluxAR> cwill1, yes.. I did that ... but how can I add more repositories than "main restricted"  from Cd rom?
[04:24] <LjL> cwill1: but the desktop CD doesn't *contain* .debs
[04:24] <unh0ly> Blissex: Any idea on how to find out if I am running a fb-module?
[04:24] <Blissex> mbac: probably somewhere, but 1min seems a bit short for a default, unless your machine is a laptop and you have asked for high powersaving mode.
[04:24] <cwill1> FluxAR: I'm pretty sure the cd doesn't include any universe or multiverse packages
[04:24] <FluxAR> cwill1, because as long as I see, I can't find development packages, like mesa libraries inside...
[04:25] <Blissex> unh0ly: well, if you see the little penguin icon at the beginning of boot, you got one.
[04:25] <Blissex> unh0ly: else try 'lsmod | grep fb'
[04:25] <drake_> Can you guys help me with my screen resolution?
[04:25] <LjL> FluxAR: that's because they aren't there. you just need to fetch them from the network.
[04:25] <unh0ly> No tux-icoiin there.
[04:25] <edub> why are some poeple getting stuck at a dos prompt (A:)when trying to get there live cd running? the versions that are being tried are ubuntu 6.10, phlak 0.3 phlak little boy beta1, TPM server Security, GNome 2.17 Demo......
[04:25] <Blissex> unh0ly: or 'ls -ld /dev/fb*'
[04:25] <thornomad> gepatino: that works, I can print each line, but I think I am not adding it to the array correctly. I tried just doing(where $i is an incrementing variable in the do while loop): array[$i] =$file ... but that doesn't work
[04:26] <Blissex> edub: the boot code is in a virtual A: floppy disk.
[04:26] <FluxAR> LjL, but ... mmmmmmmmmm... I only need to write some little programs in C with gl.h, glu.h ... mmmm... only that
[04:26] <Blissex> edub: it is ipart of ISO9660.
[04:26] <woyrz> concerning my problem i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=355603 so FYI
[04:26] <cwill1> FluxAR: but if they're not on the cd... :p
[04:26] <edub> alright,so i esentialy need to donwload a boot file to 3.5 flopy for each individiual OS?
[04:26] <unh0ly> Blissex: Thank you. The output is crw-r--r-- 1 root root 29, 0 2007-03-16 18:44 /dev/fb0.
[04:26] <LjL> FluxAR: well, as "only" as it may sound, if those .h files aren't on the CD (and they aren't), you need to fetch the corresponding packages from the network, there's no other way
[04:27] <edub> or one primary linux os based
[04:27] <Blissex> edub: nooo.
[04:27] <FluxAR> Ljl Ok ... there is no alternative CD with more repositories inside? so I could fetch the ISO and take it with my notebook when I have no Internet connection.
[04:27] <Blissex> edub: each bootable ISO image has the image of a floppy on it, and to boot a CD the BIOS creates a virtual floppy drive with that image.
[04:28] <Blissex> edub: if you get an A: prompt probably the BIOS is trying to boot the virtual floppy image and failing.
[04:28] <LjL> FluxAR: you can get a DVD, that will have more package. but i think it's still only the packages in main and restricted
[04:28] <edub> alright how do i find the virtual file?
[04:28] <Blissex> unh0ly: looks like you have a framebuffer driver. There is an option to prevent it loading.
[04:28] <LjL> FluxAR: anyway, you're running Ubuntu from the live CD - you don't have it installed - correct?
[04:28] <FluxAR> LjL, ... do you know where is that DVD?
[04:28] <Blissex> edub: it should be already on the CD
[04:28] <FluxAR> LjL, no .. I have Ubuntu installed, not live
[04:29] <edub> ok its happening with 3 seperate boxes
[04:29] <unh0ly> Blissex: By excluding the module from booting, like I already did wit fglrx?
[04:29] <LjL> FluxAR: uh?! then why can't you just fetch those packages while you *have* an internet connection available, and then just use them later? :o)
[04:29] <FluxAR> LjL, the problem is that I will need to install more packages when I was without Internet connection, I'm sure it will happen
[04:29] <fs-a> how can i erase a dvd+rw in k3b? i don't want to add to it.
[04:29] <unh0ly> *loading
[04:29] <eXcAliBuR> ok, so i used apt-get to get java JDK 5... now i need to find the path that it is installed in.... anyone know where it went?
[04:29] <Blissex> unh0ly: yes.
[04:29] <mbac> ahah from the -S option description: a value of 0 means disable timeouts, a value of 1-240 specifies timeouts in multiples of 5 seconds, 241 to 251 specify 1 to 11 multiples of 30 minutes, 252 = 21 minutes, 253 is vendor specific, 254 reserved, 255 as 21 minutes 15 secs
[04:29] <edub> ok lets see here, i have a couple recently downloaded iso's
[04:29] <Blissex> unh0ly: there is also an option to tell the driver to not activate itself if it gets loaded.
[04:29] <edub> maybe i can find the file s before i burnem
[04:29] <unh0ly> Blissex: Will I have performance-issues or something similar?
[04:30] <Blissex> unh0ly: no.
[04:30] <FluxAR> LjL, ... could be.. but.. dependencies and so on ... :( mmm... fetching only .deb's don't ensure me all the dependencies
[04:30] <mbac> i have this really twisted idea -- why doesn't the software just ask you what you want it to be in plain english and then do the annoying calculations for you?
[04:30] <unh0ly> Great. :o)
[04:30] <dhaval> enyc: funny thing, rebooting seems to have started apt-get working
[04:30] <drake_> Can someone help me with my screen resolution? My monitor says it needs to run at 1280x1024 but it's not an available option on the resolution menu.
[04:30] <LjL> FluxAR: look, i'm not saying to "download" the .debs... i'm just saying to *install the packages*
[04:30] <unh0ly> But what is the name of the module to exclude, Blissex?
[04:30] <mbac> if cvs, which is as baroque as can be, can parse a date spec like -D 'a week ago', surely hdparm can at least learn to read '1 minute' and understand what i mean
[04:31] <Blissex> unh0ly: depends on *which* framebuffer driver you are using.
[04:31] <edub> ok well i gues i need to start screwing around with the md5 error check prog...
[04:31] <unh0ly> Ah, okay.
[04:31] <FluxAR> LjL, ye.. well .. suppose my notebook doesn't have NEVER an internet connection ... and the only way to add packages is by CD ROM
[04:31] <Blissex> mbac: 'hdparm' is meant to live in the bare ''root'' filesystem, e.g. '/sbin', so it should be as small as possible.

[04:40] <cosmodad> LjL: he wants you to wait
[04:41] <LjL> i'm not going anywhere
[04:41] <zafod77> cwill1: oh well I was planning on bringing it down later this afternoon anyway to install a PCI card, maybe a reboot will help it.
[04:41] <Lupin> is there an easy install guide/disc floating around for PS3 UBUNTU?
[04:41] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: did you compile your video driver yourself?
[04:41] <mintol> ps3 ubuntu is planned for next release but not yet finished, from what I can remember
[04:41] <Poul^Laptop> no cosmo
[04:42] <sebrock> Is it still a big issue with sound not working after suspending?
[04:42] <Lupin> mintol we talking about next heard or when 7 is final
[04:42] <Poul^Laptop> i just used a script whihc installed the eyecandy and nvidia drivers
[04:42] <mintol> Lupin, i'd say the latter
[04:42] <thornomad> gepatino: I think what I might do is write the list of files to a file temporarily, and then, when I am in the loop performing each function on each file, will just run down the loop using: cat tmp | read while var ... thanks
[04:42] <Lupin> ahh I havent been keeping up on 7 do you know the ETA?
[04:42] <Helmi> is there a good alternative to gdesklets or a repo somewhere with further desktlets?
[04:42] <mintol> not the easiest of tasks to make it work properly with the cell architecture, especially when it should not be the main priority
[04:42] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: you might need to run that script again
[04:42] <Poul^Laptop> hmm
[04:43] <Lupin> mintol thats true but I think the PS3 could turn into a real good thing for Linux as a whole
[04:43] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: when you make custom changes to your kernel (like compiling and adding drivers) not included in Ubuntu's kernels, they'll not be moved into an updated kernel
[04:43] <mintol> Lupin, I see it the other way around, myself
[04:43] <Poul^Laptop> gotta find it then. But anyway, what is it that change when it add a new line on the boot screen.
[04:43] <mintol> linux could turn into a real good thing for the PS3
[04:43] <Lupin> its a unified hardware platform which for the end user could make linux simplier
[04:43] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: it installs a new kernel, probably due to security reasons
[04:43] <Poul^Laptop> aha, so it is a update to the kernel
[04:43] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: right
[04:43] <wba> Lupin, the wikipedian?
[04:44] <ubunt2> LjL Ignoring /dev/hdb1 - already in /etc/fstab

[04:44] <wba> Lupin, ?
[04:44] <wba> are u?
[04:44] <Poul^Laptop> ye, have like 5 now to sellect on boot screen
[04:44] <Poul^Laptop> gotta learn how to delete em
[04:44] <Lupin> Are you asking if Im some big name editor from the Wiki?
[04:44] <Lupin> if so then no
[04:44] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: you may delete one of those older ones if you think you won't need them anymore
[04:44] <wba> ah
[04:44] <Poul^Laptop> Anyway, whats the command for running the xserver config thing
[04:45] <ubunt2> LjL mount hdb1
[04:45] <ubunt2> mount: can't find hdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[04:45] <Lupin> and if a distro of linux ever takes full advantage of the PS3 or any 3rd Party OS then it could become the cheapest most powerful PC
[04:46] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: probably sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:46] <ubunt2> LjL man this link are not working the now can't mount the partition
[04:46] <mintol> Lupin, just a shame you don't have access to the gpu as of yet so it's only a good story on paper :P
[04:46] <Poul^Laptop> ye thats the one cosmo
[04:46] <Lupin> yeah these are all pretty big "ifs"
[04:48] <LjL> ubunt2: may you kindly give me the *full* commands that you typed? you surely didn't just type "mount hdb1", especially not when it gave you the error " Ignoring /dev/hdb1 - already in /etc/fstab"
[04:48] <Poul^Laptop> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_nVidia    cosmodad - thats the script i ran

[04:50] <Blissex> superkirbyartist: they are illegal in most places, but there are a few floating around, find the sources and compile.
[04:50] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: yeah seems to be
[04:50] <LjL> ubunt2: anyway, by default only root can write to a FAT or NTFS drive. follow the instructions on the site carefully, and you'll be able to write files as a normal user. otherwise, just type "gksudo nautilus" in a shell, and you'll have a root-mode filebrowser
[04:50] <ep2011> Is there any reason not to resize and create partitions with the ubuntu installer? Im reading a tutorial which says not to, but I was given the idea that you should use it?

[04:54] <Crazytom> superkirbyartist, funny
[04:54] <cosmodad> ep2011: you should always backup data before doing resizing with any tool
[04:54] <thinh> anyone good with xorg conf?
[04:54] <ubunt2> LjL i didn't so nothing,for that i ask you how to mount ???
[04:54] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad, i am very new to linux, whats the command to run the file  / make it executable
[04:54] <superkirbyartist> Thank you for your time.
[04:54] <ep2011> cosmodad: Thats not what I'm asking, I'm  asking if theres any reason to use Gparted live cd to partition instead of the ubuntu installer?
[04:55] <Menasim1> is it ubuntu or Ubuntu?
[04:55] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: do you have GUI right now?
[04:55] <Poul^Laptop> ye
[04:55] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad yes
[04:55] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: so open a file in an editor, like "gedit ~/beryl-nvidia-installation"
[04:55] <cosmodad> ep2011: not that I know of
[04:55] <ep2011> Okay, Thank you
[04:56] <spawn311> all I am having issues with the dhclient connecting thur my router

[04:56] <LjL> ubunt2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions#head-2a64a964ff8833576586c7216a1199f022c505a6 explains how to add an entry to fstab, and how to make it so that all users have write access to it, and how to finally mount it. read it. do it. if it doesn't work, *then* ask.
[04:56] <cosmodad> ep2011: let me rephrase this: not that *I* know of
[04:56] <spawn311> when I connect directly to the asdl modem everything is fine
[04:56] <bayziders> Is any one here familiar with vmware?
[04:56] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: copy and paste the stuff from 2. into the opened file
[04:56] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad, the file is made, now how to run it from command line
[04:57] <bayziders> I need help installing it
[04:57] <Menasim1> how can I update GNOME?
[04:57] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: ok once you saved and close it, open up a terminal and do "chmod u+x <filename>"
[04:57] <erUSUL> !vmware > bayziders
[04:57] <spawn311> I am using edgy -- makes no sense when the adsl modem gives me back an ip address via dhcp and the same thing is happening thur the router but no ip address comes back

[04:58] <levmatta> #ubuntu

[04:58] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad, wronge one for running or make it executable

[05:01] <LjL> ubunt2: i'd recommend against both, though. if you need to write to NTFS, just use Windows

[05:03] <spawn311> erUSUR: I do dhclient eth0 when it is directly connected to adsl modem and I get DHCPREQUEST on eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 DHCPACK from 72.x.x.x bound to 72.x.x.x -- renewal in xxxx seconds
[05:03] <m1r> hi all
[05:03] <FrOzenBit> LjL: thx!
[05:03] <erUSUL> spawn311: and the problem is?
[05:04] <spawn311> when I go thur the router it just does DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 port 67 interval xxx and never gets a ACK and never gets bound
[05:04] <nomasteryoda> he can't get connected... sounds like a vmware issue... i have to do ifconfig vmnet* down to get my connection working with this verizon ppp0
[05:05] <spawn311> the same ADSL modem is connected to the router
[05:05] <spawn311> so in theory it just has one more hop to make
[05:05] <erUSUL> spawn311: what are trying to do?
[05:06] <spawn311> just bring up the eth0 interface so I can connect to inet and not have to be directly plugged into asdl modem like I am right now
[05:08] <spawn311> the interface is up but it is just not bounding to the dhclient and therefore I get no connection to inet when connecting thur the router to the adsl modem
[05:08] <BENN92647> hey all been awhile..ubuntu 6.10 Edgy rules the world!
[05:08] <erUSUL> spawn311: what type of reouter are you connected to?  72.x.x.x ip's are not of the ones used in LANs (10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x) are you directly wired to inet?
[05:10] <BENN92647> automatix did a great job installing abunch of things...but now i cant use my IDE CD ROM or my IDE DVD/DVD-RW i tried to mounting and unmounting focefully but nothing is working can you help please
[05:10] <spawn311> erUSL: here is the deal right now my laptop has a cat cable going from the port on the back of the computer and plugged directly into a black box that my isp gave me that on the bottom it says adsl modem that box then uses the phone lines in my house to connect to the isp/inet and so on
[05:11] <ikonia> spawn311: with you so far...
[05:11] <smacnay> holly cow - people in here!!!  I am thinking of putting ubuntu on a machine for the first time.  I have the install cd.  Should I be partitioning the hd for various dir (/var /etc) or just do a default install?
[05:11] <ikonia> smacnay: up to you
[05:11] <ikonia> personal choice
[05:12] <ikonia> (/etc can't be a partition FYI)
[05:12] <spawn311> and doing that ifconfig reports that eth0 I get <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:12] <JohnPhys> smacnay: I haven't had any issues doing the default install, have done it on 3 machines
[05:12] <ikonia> spawn311: ok
[05:12] <spawn311> and connection to the inet works
[05:12] <ikonia> yup
[05:12] <ikonia> with you so far
[05:12] <spawn311> what I am trying to do is this
[05:13] <smacnay> JohnPhys: thanks
[05:13] <BENN92647> i just did a clean install of ubuntu and then got one of my old IDE window XP hardrives to dual boot
[05:13] <ikonia> BENN92647: and ?
[05:13] <zismuc> Hola
[05:13] <smacnay> ikonia: seems on my Debian machine, I run out of /var space with installation of gnome or kde and latex with fonts.
[05:13] <dirrty>  Morning Ya'll...I have firestarter and Iam getting hits on port 41385 from one IP a lot ???

[05:13] <zismuc> tengo problemas con mis particiones de disco duro
[05:13] <zismuc> alguien me ayuda
[05:13] <thinh> what the command for see how many monitor you have connected to the computer?
[05:13] <cosmodad> smacnay: if you're new to linux and you're not sure how to partition the space, I'd recommend sticking to one or two partitions
[05:13] <zismuc> uso ubuntu edgy
[05:13] <zismuc> ??
[05:13] <spawn311> take my laptop cat5 cable connect it to my belkin router port, it's uplink port is connected to the adsl modem/black box from the isp and get an inet connection

[05:13] <Desp_> hi all
[05:14] <Desp_> how can i add scanner to ubuntu 6.10
[05:14] <ikonia> Desp_: plug it in
[05:14] <cosmodad> !spanish | zismuc
[05:14] <ubotu> zismuc: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[05:14] <dirrty>  Why am I being attacted
[05:14] <MrFeetio> im looking for a instant messanger for linux (I don't like gaim)
[05:14] <Desp_> then how to scan
[05:14] <megabunny> That's exactly why you partition. var fills and the machine grinds down gracefully
[05:14] <ikonia> dirrty: because you're on the internet
[05:14] <spawn311> when I do that eth0 never gets 72.x.x.x address and the dhclient reports back no working leases perstistant in database and sleeping now
[05:14] <megabunny> you just log on single user and clear some cruft out of var
[05:15] <ardchoille> ikonia: lol
[05:15] <Desp_> I was trieng to fix it from epson.conf file
[05:15] <megabunny> then you reboot normally and clean the underlying problem
[05:15] <thinh> is there a nvidia  configuration file for scanning the monitor?
[05:15] <Desp_> but still dont work
[05:15] <BENN92647> if you plan on running window and linux on the same drive i can see the need obviously for a partion, otherwise I agree you dont really need to...LINUX is so incredible with making it easy to creat folders you can just use them to store things
[05:15] <smacnay> cosmodad: I have been using linux for some time but have not installed a distro in ages.  I plan to install on to a 250 gig drive and would like to partition some of the drive but don't want to run out of space on any used partition like /var
[05:15] <phreakazoid> MrFeetio: Kopete (KDE based packages)
[05:15] <disposable> i have two SATA drives(sda,sdb) in AHCI mode. feisty install went ok (to sda), grub went onto (hd0). when i try to boot i get no bootable device. anybody's got a clue what could be wrong?
[05:15] <ikonia> spawn311: because your machine has got the public facing ip address, so plugging in your laptop at the same time won't allow it to get an ip
[05:15] <spawn311> I even tweaked the interfaces file to have gateway pointing to the correct ip address
[05:15] <intelikey> would someone that knows grub take a look at my configs and tell me what is wrong     http://pastebin.ca/398849     if lilo loads the vmlinuz and initrd pair it boots just fine,  if grub loads them  "and it does that ok"  it times out waiting for the root fs then i have to mount it and it continues booting...
[05:15] <cosmodad> smacnay: then I'd recommend using google and learn a bit about partitioning
[05:16] <cosmodad> smacnay: or even lvm which is a more elegant way of partitioning
[05:16] <brainiac8008> Anyone know how to fix this?    It then says something like "noah-login:"  If I wait about 15 secs, it continues shutting down and shuts off.  Any ideas?
[05:16] <eXcAliBuR> My Ubuuntu is saying I need JUnit ... how can i get it?
[05:16] <ikonia> brainiac8008: its called "shutting down"
[05:16] <spawn311> well if it worked then I should get a 192.168.x.x from router right
[05:16] <Iskios> amsn is a good an easy messenger
[05:16] <intelikey> grub help  ?
[05:16] <ikonia> eXcAliBuR: what wants Junit ?
[05:16] <spawn311> not the 72.x.x.x address right
[05:16] <rausb0> spawn311: in this scenario your router must do the dhcp request itself. dhcp from the notebook cannot be routed.
[05:16] <ardchoille> ikonia: May I pm you?
[05:16] <ikonia> spawn311: yup
[05:16] <cosmodad> brainiac8008: hit ctrl+alt-f1 and you'll see that image again
[05:16] <ikonia> ardchoille: yeah sure
[05:16] <aldin> intelikey: say ur problem
[05:16] <BENN92647> i have a fairly simple question, but the standard answers haven't worked:automatix did a great job installing abunch of things...but now i cant use my IDE CD ROM or my IDE DVD/DVD-RW i tried to mounting and unmounting focefully but nothing is working can you help please
[05:16] <eXcAliBuR> ummm apache-ant needs it to compile
[05:16] <cosmodad> brainiac8008: it's just the console, don't worry
[05:16] <linxeh> brainiac8008: so it shut down X first, then took you to a virtual console before that shutdown, and then turned off
[05:17] <intelikey> aldin i did
[05:17] <intelikey> aldin do you want me to repost ?
[05:17] <brainiac8008> so it's normal?
[05:17] <eXcAliBuR> ikonia: ummm apache-ant needs it to compile
[05:17] <spawn311> rausb8: so do I need to set something on the router
[05:17] <rausb0> spawn311: so if your router's uplink port cannot be configured as a dhcp client, you are out of luck
[05:17] <cosmodad> brainiac8008: at least it's nothing to worry about :)
[05:17] <phreakazoid> intelikey: i think there's no "boot" at line 15
[05:17] <ikonia> eXcAliBuR: where ar eyou getting apache-ant from ? the ubuntu repo's ?
[05:17] <intelikey> phreakazoid does it need one ?
[05:17] <thinh> is there a problem if you dual monitor if one of them is not connected?
[05:17] <Riga> unsure
[05:17] <aldin> intelikey: wait i will look up for it
[05:18] <BENN92647> lol
[05:18] <eXcAliBuR> ikonia: i downloaded it from site and trying to do sh build.sh
[05:18] <cosmodad> BENN92647: what do you mean forcefully?
[05:18] <spawn311> but, here is the strange part this laptop is a dual booting machine and it works using the exact same procedure under windoze -- so I have no idea what the issue is then
[05:18] <phreakazoid> intelikey: yeah, it wont boot if you did tell it to boot, it will just mount the kernel, and the initrd
[05:18] <smacnay> hmm, I wish I knew why my cdrom drive gives a 'lost interrupt' error.
[05:18] <cosmodad> BENN92647: can you mount/umount "without force" at least?
[05:18] <ikonia> eXcAliBuR: thats the problem, use the ubuntu repo's
[05:19] <eXcAliBuR> ikonia: how do i make that happen?
[05:19] <brainiac8008> anyone know when the next lts version of ubuntu is coming out?
[05:19] <ikonia> eXcAliBuR: use synatpci for example to get it from the repo
[05:19] <BENN92647> cosmodad-did the sudo -0 hide to get edgy to release all then did the code to mount and nothing is working
[05:19] <intelikey> phreakazoid it does that and drops me into a busybox shell after 5 minutes.  i hope it's a simple as one word addition
[05:19] <jgrau> if my system works when i modprobe a device, how do i make that module run at startup?
[05:19] <aldin> intelikey: sory i dont know this
[05:19] <cosmodad> BENN92647: sorry, I don't know a thing about automatix -- is this mounting part of it=?
[05:20] <ikonia> I know not to use automatix
[05:20] <erUSUL> jgrau: add it to /etc/modules
[05:20] <intelikey> aldin k thanks.

[05:21] <phreakazoid> intelikey: hold on lemme checks mine
[05:21] <ikonia> AaronMT: bash support in #bash
[05:21] <erUSUL> jgrau: sudo sh -c "echo modulename >> /etc/modules" should work but you can use any text editor
[05:21] <BENN92647> cosomodad no all automatix2 (similar to easy ubuntu) did was install alot of apps i needed one of them was a DVD back up utility and i was dumb and had a DVD in there and now it wont allow me to mount either
[05:21] <HollywoodCode> hey how do i open a .rar file with ubuntu, anyone??
[05:21] <erUSUL> !rar > HollywoodCode
[05:21] <phreakazoid> intelikey: yup, correct. :D
[05:21] <ikonia> HollywoodCode: install rar from the none from repo's and unrar it
[05:22] <eXcAliBuR> ikonia: i'm lost wit synatpci ... can u give me a full command to type?
[05:22] <HollywoodCode> should i apt-get rar    ?
[05:22] <ikonia> eXcAliBuR: if you're lost the the package manager - then you shouldn't be trying to compile software
[05:22] <intelikey> phreakazoid ok edited and going to test.
[05:22] <ikonia> HollywoodCode: no - search for the correct package name in the repo's
[05:22] <eXcAliBuR> i'm running Ubuntu Server
[05:22] <thinh> under nvidia display device its says seiko is that my external screen or is that my internal screen?
[05:22] <ikonia> eXcAliBuR: so ?
[05:22] <cosmodad> BENN92647: if you mount something, it should be displayed on your desktop... what happens if you right click -> umount?
[05:22] <cosmodad> BENN92647: or remove or whatever it's called...
[05:22] <phreakazoid> intelikey: cool. hope it works!
[05:22] <bayziders> How can I  delete my windows partition and add it to my ubuntu one?

[05:23] <ikonia> brainiac8008: not disspointed as it works like a charm
[05:23] <BENN92647> all that is showing on my desk top is my downloads folder and my hdc1
[05:23] <pestilence> bayziders: use parted, or a graphical frontend like qtparted
[05:23] <ikonia> HollywoodCode: your choice
[05:23] <cosmodad> brainiac8008: same here
[05:23] <jgrau> thanxx :)
[05:23] <cosmodad> brainiac8008: I mean it works
[05:23] <darren> as a noob can someone tell me how my username can have the same permissions as root
[05:23] <brainiac8008> how does it work?
[05:23] <cosmodad> darren: sudo
[05:23] <pestilence> darren: you can't.
[05:23] <ikonia> darren: change the uid to 0 - but you don't need that as you have sudo
[05:23] <enrique> Hi, I can't install my printer, the printer option isn't in the menu, how can i solve that?
[05:23] <erUSUL> ubotu tell darren about sudo | darren see priv msg from ubotu
[05:24] <rausb0> spawn311: maybe windows does some zeroconf braindeadness with your router, making it a proxy for dhcp requests
[05:24] <aldin> bayziders: which one u want to delete
[05:24] <darren> i want to edit a text file but when i do and try and save it it tells me that i dont have permission
[05:24] <rvega> hi all room!!!
[05:24] <pestilence> !hi
[05:24] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:24] <ikonia> darren: change the permissions on the file, or write to a place you have permissions
[05:24] <brainiac8008> cosmodad, how do the things i listed work for u?
[05:24] <rvega> i have e problem with xubuntu installation
[05:24] <shatrat> darren, what file is it? if its a system file you need to edit as administrator
[05:24] <pestilence> darren: use sudo
[05:24] <rvega> i was talking with people of #xubunut
[05:25] <darren> its a file which contains the bluetooth info
[05:25] <cosmodad> brainiac8008: I'm not sure about shockwave but WMV works out of box
[05:25] <cosmodad> brainiac8008: using firefox
[05:25] <rvega> but nothing

[05:25] <darren> thanks everyone, i'll give that a try now
[05:25] <cosmodad> BENN92647: hdc1 is your CD/DVD drive isn't it?
[05:25] <bayziders> im in gparted but all my partitions have locks next to them,so it wont let me resize and delete.
[05:25] <cosmodad> brainiac8008: using firefox
[05:25] <bayziders>  What do I do?
[05:26] <brainiac8008> cosmodad, when i try to view a wmv online, it says i need a plugin, and then it doesn't find 1
[05:26] <BENN92647> cosmodad-nope its my SATA drive
[05:26] <eXcAliBuR> ikonia: I searched for synatpci in the Ubuntu manual and it wasn't found
[05:26] <pestilence> bayziders: are you running as superuser?
[05:26] <bayziders> umm
[05:26] <bayziders> no

[05:27] <eXcAliBuR> :(

[05:27] <ikonia> LordLimecat: you may get an answer if you ask it
[05:27] <LordLimecat> how can i make a video of my desktop so i can show off
[05:27] <ss4x> rc.azzurra.net
[05:28] <BENN92647> cosmodad-no it has been there it shows my hadrdrive and my downloads folder i created but no other storage devfices (i.e my CD ROM or my DVD-RW)
[05:28] <LordLimecat> :D
[05:28] <pestilence> bayziders: are you running ubuntu?
[05:28] <bayziders> yes
[05:28] <bayziders> edgy
[05:28] <ikonia> LordLimecat: some sort of screen capture app, search the repo
[05:28] <LordLimecat> i need to show others how inferior their desktops are
[05:28] <KlasRudian> i got extremly low volume from my microphone, can't seem to get it up to any "hearble" level.... is there a mic boost somewere i missed  or??
[05:28] <ikonia> LordLimecat: other desktops are probably fine
[05:28] <LordLimecat> no recommendations?
[05:28] <ikonia> no
[05:28] <bayziders> Lord: I feel the same way
[05:28] <LordLimecat> (i meant windows desktops) :)
[05:28] <bayziders> google screencast
[05:28] <ikonia> whats wrong with windows desktops
[05:28] <ikonia> nothing
[05:28] <cosmodad> BENN92647: can you re-open the drive and close it again? or is that what's not working?
[05:28] <LordLimecat> screencast?
[05:28] <LordLimecat> tanks
[05:28] <LordLimecat> :D
[05:28] <pestilence> bayziders: what command did you type?
[05:28] <ikonia> never used screencast so I'll have a look at it too
[05:28] <intelikey> can someone give me the url to that pastebin i posted just a few minutes ago?
[05:28] <chalmer> starting PCMCIA service (faild) on boot up ?
[05:28] <bayziders> gksu GParted

[05:29] <chalmer> starting PCMCIA service (faild) on boot up ?
[05:29] <pestilence> #ubuntu+1
[05:29] <LordLimecat> jason_: ubuntu+1
[05:29] <bayziders> it worked but they still all have locks
[05:29] <cosmodad> LordLimecat: it's automation
[05:29] <ikonia> jason_: ubuntu+1
[05:29] <bayziders> should I just pop in my live cd and do it from there
[05:29] <LordLimecat> cosmodad: but all that its doing is apt-get installs, right?
[05:29] <LordLimecat> whats so bad about automating that
[05:29] <BENN92647> cosmodad-i can open and close it but for some reason it doesnt show in my cdrom0 file or on my directory but they do show connected to my computer ???
[05:29] <ikonia> LordLimecat: not really
[05:30] <pestilence> bayziders: probably
[05:30] <rausb0> intelikey: http://pastebin.ca/398849
[05:30] <ikonia> LordLimecat: if you like it - use it
[05:30] <nexousNET> How do I change the icon size of icons in the menu?
[05:30] <ikonia> most hate it
[05:30] <darren> another odd thing. I just spent about 45 mins installing LinuxMCE (before updating ubuntu from a fresh install) and it hasn't appeared under applications
[05:30] <pestilence> you shouldn't do it on mounted partitions
[05:30] <bayziders> in that case i will be back
[05:30] <intelikey> rausb0 ty
[05:30] <LordLimecat> alright o.0
[05:30] <cosmodad> LordLimecat: things can go wrong if stuff changes
[05:30] <chalmer> starting PCMCIA service (faild) on boot up !!!   whats that mean?

[05:30] <Andeh> Hello
[05:30] <ikonia> darren: how did you install linuxMCE
[05:30] <cosmodad> LordLimecat: and if you keep automating while stuff is screwed, more stuff will get screwed
[05:30] <chalmer> anyboddy
[05:30] <Andeh> I installed wine but every single program gives me errors!
[05:30] <darren> from the cd
[05:30] <ikonia> darren: and then you installed ubuntu

[05:31] <dumezil> anyone know much about chinese input in ubuntu?  ive got it working in most programs, but in firefox it doesn't work...
[05:31] <chalmer> starting PCMCIA service (faild) on boot up !!!   whats that mean?
[05:31] <darren> no
[05:31] <cosmodad> BENN92647: did you try a different disc?
[05:31] <darren> ubuntu first
[05:31] <darren> then linuxmce
[05:31] <ikonia> darren: linuxmce from the ubuntu cd ?
[05:31] <darren> no, seperate download
[05:32] <ikonia> ok - ubuntu isn't aware of linuxmce as its not package for ubuntu
[05:32] <intelikey> so who is good with grub issues ?   i have a grub that loads the kernel and initrd but doesn't mount the root fs    http://pastebin.ca/398849   ?
[05:32] <chalmer> starting PCMCIA service (faild) on boot up !!!   whats that mean?
[05:32] <ikonia> darren: so it won't appear on your applications as gnome isn't aware of it
[05:32] <KlasRudian> chalmer, that you PCMCIA isn't working... you even got it on you computer??
[05:32] <BENN92647> cosmodad-well first i have to get linux to mount my DVD ROM lol I can put anything I want in ther ebut it wont let me see anything

[05:32] <bayziders> =D
[05:32] <Andeh> ok
[05:32] <Andeh> thanks
[05:32] <bayziders> tru dat
[05:32] <LordLimecat> ihuh
[05:32] <ikonia> thinh: you don't disable nvidia - you select the drivers
[05:32] <chalmer> what is it?
[05:32] <LordLimecat> theres built in screencastingin edgy
[05:32] <cosmodad> BENN92647: I don't get that
[05:32] <KlasRudian> chalmer, it's mostly laptop's that has it
[05:32] <LordLimecat> ffmpeg
[05:32] <LordLimecat> installed by default
[05:32] <cosmodad> BENN92647: you have Ubuntu up and running or not?
[05:32] <chalmer> ok
[05:33] <darren> ok thanks
[05:33] <thinh> i mean disable the nvidia logo on boot up my bad
[05:33] <KlasRudian> chalmer, it's extention cars that you could hotplug...
[05:33] <ahubcap> #newuser
[05:33] <darren> not i think it'll be any good to me anyway as I'm in the UK and i think its a very US centric product
[05:33] <KlasRudian> cards*
[05:33] <ikonia> thinh: option logo false (something like that) in the video card options
[05:33] <Andeh> Ok that's great, except there are no persons in wine and wine hq
[05:33] <Andeh> Nobody active anyway
[05:33] <chalmer> so its nothing to do w/ why i cant get my wireless pci card to get internet?
[05:33] <thinh> okey thanks

[05:34] <darren> is there any way I can access the contents of my shared PC's on this ubuntu machine?
[05:34] <thinh> what the command to probe for a monitor?
[05:34] <Andeh> Now i installed wine and my programs give me errors when i start them because they cant load files that are right next to them
[05:34] <KlasRudian> chalmer, as long it's not a PCMCIA card it has nothing to do with that
[05:34] <cosmodad> BENN92647: even your hard disks?
[05:34] <ikonia> thinh: configure a secon screen
[05:34] <Andeh> Do i have to configure something?

[05:34] <darren> sounds way complicated to me!
[05:34] <Andeh> 7-Zip is a good rar extractor i think
[05:34] <ikonia> thinh: there are sections called screens - configure a second one, then add it to your layout
[05:34] <Andeh> google it
[05:35] <ikonia> darren: then don't do it
[05:35] <darren> can't I just tell this pc that its part of my windows workgroup?
[05:35] <arooni> hey folks... hwo di i delete an alias value?
[05:35] <KlasRudian> HollywoodCode, Ark with installed unrar
[05:35] <Andeh> Can anyone here help me with wine? Anyone set it up before?

[05:35] <ikonia> thinh: then add it
[05:35] <Andeh> I installed wine and my programs cant acces files and dlls so they wont start
[05:35] <thinh> but there is nowhere to tell what port to use
[05:35] <ikonia> Andeh: I told you where the wine support is
[05:35] <BENN92647> cosmodad- I have ubuntu on my SATA drive and that is fine-only other things arre my CD and my DVD ROM drives that ubuntu wont mount
[05:35] <darren> I had a feeling this was gonna be complex
[05:35] <ikonia> darren: its not
[05:35] <darren> i'm a complete linux noob
[05:35] <ace86> hi i am a beginner and wanted some help to install ubuntu
[05:35] <intelikey> rausb0 yeah it was a real trick to install there.   and getting grub installed wasn't easy.
[05:35] <thinh> will xorg know automatically which one to look for?
[05:36] <ikonia> darren: then do some reading
[05:36] <cosmodad> rausb0: sda is probably SATA
[05:36] <HollywoodCode> ark wont do it
[05:36] <HollywoodCode> where file-roller
[05:36] <Andeh> ikonia: Theres nobody in the rooms. the 5 people in #wine arent talking and im the only one in #wine-hq!!!
[05:36] <darren> ok
[05:36] <ikonia> Andeh: try winehq
[05:36] <Andeh> ok
[05:36] <shatrat> Dougie, im around
[05:36] <rausb0> cosmodad: anyway, it is used without partitioning and thats not reasonable
[05:36] <HollywoodCode> why is it so hard to decompress a file in linux?
[05:36] <cosmodad> intelikey: shouldn't it be (hd0,2) for that partition which is on hdc?
[05:36] <ikonia> HollywoodCode: its easy
[05:36] <BENN92647> cosmodad this is the error code i get:
[05:36] <Andeh> Thanks it worked
[05:36] <chalmer> help w/ internet ? anyone !!
[05:36] <shatrat> HollywoodCode, how hard is it to right click and Extract Here?
[05:36] <rausb0> intelikey: did you compile the kernel yourself?

[05:37] <salty> HollywoodCode>you can also 'apt-get' rar and then type 'man rar' for instructions
[05:37] <cosmodad> BENN92647: so that's why I asked you to try at least 2 different discs to see if it's not an issue with the media

[05:39] <salty> unrar  <command> [-<switch 1> -<switch N>]  archive [files...]  [path...]
[05:39] <intelikey> rausb0 i agree  but for some reason it doesn't
[05:39] <ikonia> chalmer: right so your question is "I need help getting my wirless card working"
[05:40] <thinh> do i just add another screen layout after what current there?
[05:40] <chalmer> ikonia: yes sorry
[05:40] <darren> why is this so hard!
[05:40] <HollywoodCode> ark doesn't support .rar
[05:40] <ikonia> thinh: join #xorg or read docs on x.org
[05:40] <ikonia> darren: its not
[05:40] <nexousNET> How can I get rid of the ubuntu login, and just have a command prompt, once I enter my credentials, it will bring me to the desktop
[05:40] <ikonia> darren: stop complaining - it adds no value
[05:40] <ikonia> nexousNET: disable X(gdm)
[05:41] <chalmer> "I need help getting my wirless card working"
[05:41] <erUSUL> !wifi > chalmer
[05:41] <ikonia> chalmer: is it supported under linux ?
[05:41] <shatrat> HollywoodCode, rar is proprietary, if you want to open it the first thing is to install unrar.  then you can extract with "unrar e archive.rar" or I believe you will be able to use Ark after doing that
[05:41] <intelikey> rausb0 if it was a simple misaddress or something i could see it.  but i don't have to change anything just run three commands that the scripts should naturally do...
[05:41] <nexousNET> ikonia: How do I do that?
[05:41] <BENN92647> cosmodad-there is a disk in the DVD ROM its not a DVD though and it shows the contents on my desktop
[05:41] <Dougie> chalmer: what card do you have?
[05:41] <darren> ikonia, was that a slap on the wrist remark ?
[05:41] <ikonia> nexousNET: look at the init scripts
[05:41] <ikonia> darren: no
[05:41] <darren> good
[05:41] <cosmodad> BENN92647: so it's working
[05:41] <ikonia> darren: just a fact, complaining won't help
[05:41] <nexousNET> ikonia: Sorry, I'm a n00b. Don't have a clue where those are.
[05:41] <darren> I was moaning
[05:41] <chalmer> linksys 54G router
[05:42] <eilker> how can i have last account in amarok ??
[05:42] <ikonia> nexousNET: /etc/init.d and /etc/inittab
[05:42] <HollywoodCode> how do i open console from the dir where the .rar is located?
[05:42] <nexousNET> okay.
[05:42] <Dougie> is your wireless network adapter working though?
[05:42] <intelikey> rausb0 is there a way to tell the kernel or the initrd to load the aic7xxx module ?
[05:42] <eilker> how can i have last *fm account in amarok ??
[05:42] <ikonia> HollywoodCode: open a console and cd into it
[05:42] <ace86> hi i had two hdd on my pc. primary installed with win98, secondary installed with winxp. the problem now is i wan ubuntu on the secondary harddisk (more space) but i wanted a triple boot menu after install ubuntu. how i do that?
[05:42] <cosmodad> BENN92647: looks like the disk you had in your drive before wasn't working I assume?
cd ~/downloads
[05:42] <arooni> hey folks whats up with chasetoys@LilArooni:~$ alias sshrimu=ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>; terminal says: bash: alias<EMAIL_ADDRESS>not found
[05:42] <erUSUL> nexousNET: 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove'
[05:42] <rausb0> intelikey: i dont know the internal structure of ubuntus initrd
[05:42] <shatrat> HollywoodCode, just open a terminal and use "cd /path/to/the/directory" to go there, or "unrar e /path/to/the/file/in/question.rar"
unrar -ev beer.rar
[05:42] <BENN92647> cosmodad-OMG! i AM AN IDIOT, lol I had the DVD in the CD ROM...Sorry to have taken up your time thanks
[05:43] <cosmodad> arooni: quota the part after = and at the end as well
[05:43] <rausb0> intelikey: but i guess there is a file with a list of modules to be loaded in there
[05:43] <cosmodad> BENN92647: ;)
[05:43] <AaronMT> Any bash script gurus online? Im wondering how I can output something between certain rows on a terminal (tput)
[05:43] <phreakazoid> intelikey: wow no idea, but here something from the forum, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=164458

[05:43] <ikonia> AaronMT: I told you bash support is in #bash
[05:43] <cosmodad> AaronMT: people told you before to go to #bash
[05:43] <intelikey> fusheh i may have to rebuild it by hand...
[05:43] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad, atleast i got it running now with the new kernel. But it wont let me load the byrel windows manager, as soon as i do it will come with the blue error screen, somethin about it cant load the nvidea something
[05:43] <erUSUL> AaronMT:  output something between certain rows ? explain this
[05:43] <HollywoodCode> how do i cd into it, if its on my desktop?
[05:43] <Dougie> chalmer: is it installed and do you have the network icon in the upper right hand corner?

[05:44] <ace86> if anyone could help: i had the cd, but kinda afraid to click install might delete my data
[05:44] <salty> cd ~/Desktop

[05:44] <ace86> hi i had two hdd on my pc. primary installed with win98, secondary installed with winxp. the problem now is i wan ubuntu on the secondary harddisk (more space) but i wanted a triple boot menu after install ubuntu. how i do that?
[05:44] <rausb0> ikonia: people are just too dumb to read...
[05:44] <cosmodad> JoaoJoao: look for stuff using the madiwfi driver
[05:44] <Poul^Laptop> hmm, nothing cosmodad
[05:44] <mindchild> So I have installed (so it seems) the linux-686 kernel... only, looking at the properties in synaptic, it only installed crap into /usr/share/doc, and there is no other kernel in /boot. Am I missing something?
[05:44] <Dougie> chalmer: what do you mean and no?
[05:44] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: so it's not loaded
[05:45] <shadowhywind> is there a way to disable the external monitor port?
[05:45] <AaronMT> erUSUL I need to register a nickname hold on
[05:45] <HollywoodCode> ikonia it worked
[05:45] <Dougie> chalmer: you don't see the icon?
[05:45] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: what does "modprobe nvidia" give you?
[05:45] <ikonia> mindchild: if ther is no kernel in /boot - how does your box boot
[05:45] <tbuss> where can i find info on installing ubuntu on external hdd connected to a already partioned windows machine
[05:45] <Varsendaggr> is fiesty released?
[05:45] <intelikey> phreakazoid ok. but i don't use lvm so that's not the issue.
[05:45] <ikonia> no
[05:45] <JoaoJoao> my rtl8187 card kernel-panics  with Feisty for example
[05:45] <chalmer> Dougie: its installed but there is not a icon
[05:45] <shatrat> JoaoJoao, I believe to rtl2500 is one that works well, but it is hard to tell what card is using what chipset because a lot of manufacturers make one model of card with a completely different chipset in different revisions.  You should probably hit the forums.
[05:45] <HollywoodCode> now how do i get into the folder i made called downloads on the desktop after im cd into desktop?
[05:45] <Dougie> ok go to system
[05:45] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad - Not loading nvidia module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:45] <BENN92647> its amazing the clearity of a DVD as apposed to running it through window is outstanding-I wonder why more home theatre media computers don't run linux
[05:45] <ikonia> HollywoodCode: read the docs on ubuntu.com
[05:45] <Dougie> chalmer: go to system admin and networking
[05:45] <LjL> HollywoodCode: maybe, just maybe, "cd downloads"
[05:45] <shatrat> HollywoodCode, cd downloads
[05:45] <rausb0> shatrat: note, rt (ralink) is not rtl (realtek)
[05:45] <JoaoJoao> I want something that doesn't make me deawl with the CLI all the time (as I had to do with the God-awful dwl-520+)
[05:45] <ikonia> HollywoodCode: also man "cd" - if its at that basic level you'll struggle to progress through any linux distro wihtout reading the basiscs
[05:46] <mindchild> ikonia: It has the original 386 vanilla kernel. hence "no other kernel"
[05:46] <shatrat> rausb0, what harm can one little l do
[05:46] <ikonia> mindchild: so whats the problem ?
[05:46] <Thug-N-Me> does anyone know how to browse a nokia phone in linux ?
[05:46] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: grep -i nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:46] <Dougie> chalmer: there should be a couple connections in the list like wired connection and wireless connection
[05:46] <ikonia> Thug-N-Me: gnoki
[05:46] <rausb0> shatrat: that little l means a totally different chipset
[05:46] <LjL> ikonia: make that "help cd"
[05:46] <intelikey> anyone else    http://pastebin.ca/398875   ?
[05:46] <chalmer> Douggie: yes
[05:46] <ikonia> LjL: oooh really, I never use "help" just man
[05:46] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad -         Identifier      "nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] "

[05:46] <LjL> ikonia: yeah but "man" has no pages for bash built-ins
[05:46] <salty> ikonia is right... you have to read the 'how-to's' to understand
[05:47] <cosmodad> JoaoJoao: I just had to buy a wifi PCI card myself and most tp-link cards are good: http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility#TP-LINK
[05:47] <ikonia> LjL: ahhhhhhh
[05:47] <Dougie> chalmer: you can adjust your wireless settings there. If your router has wep encryption you will have to put the wepkey in there it's usually a HEX format and just put in the ssid of your router which if you didn't change it from default would be linksys
[05:47] <ikonia> LjL: I've never had to tell anyone to man cd, so I didn't think
[05:47] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: doesn't seem to be loaded
[05:47] <Thug-N-Me> ikonia no packages with that name (google says)
[05:47] <iulian_> hi, can someone tell me what can I do to get back the text document if I prezz ctrl-z in pico?
[05:47] <Dougie> chalmer: if you do all that it should connect automatically unless something is not installed right :)
[05:47] <mindchild> ikonia: I "grabbed" the linux-686 kernel via synaptic... but it doesnt seem to have installed ANYTHING but crap under /usr/share/doc/linux-686
[05:47] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad - any sugestions to solve it?
[05:47] <ikonia> Thug-N-Me: there is and its in the ubuntu repo
[05:47] <jrib> iulian_: fg, google for "bash job control"
[05:47] <ikonia> mindchild: what ubuntu version
[05:47] <intelikey> iulian_ thpe fg
[05:48] <intelikey> type fg
[05:48] <mindchild> 6.10
[05:48] <BENN92647> i'm going but in a final note to all noobs-stick with LINUX ubuntu 6.10 EDGY is by far the easiest (stay far away from AMD 64, I had it it was a hassle) it takes some tweaking and a little bit of work but it's worth it
[05:48] <iulian_> intelikey, thanks
[05:48] <Thug-N-Me> ikonia what repo ? i have all repos enabled and there is no such gnoki
[05:48] <ikonia> mindchild: there is no i686, i586, amd, kernels any more - just generic
[05:48] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: open /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find the section with the nvidia stuff and tell me what argument is given to "driver"
[05:48] <erUSUL> ubotu tell mindchild about generic | mindchild see priv msg from ubotu
[05:48] <tbuss> if i use live cd to install can i choose to install to external hdd without affecting windows partition?
[05:48] <ikonia> Thug-N-Me: gnokii
[05:48] <nexousNET> Hi, how do I go about adding the login again, rather than '  sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove  '
[05:49] <ikonia> nexousNET: remove will remove - not add
[05:49] <mindchild> what a waste
[05:49] <intelikey> can anyone tell me why if lilo loads the kernel it boots but if grub loads it it hangs waiting for root fs ?     http://pastebin.ca/398875
[05:49] <erUSUL> nexousNET: 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults'
[05:49] <nexousNET> ikonia: I know, I want to add it again.
[05:49] <salty> brb... gotta make some coffee
[05:49] <nexousNET> erUSUL: thanks
[05:49] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad = driver is set to "nv"  But that what i give it as argument when i ran the setup i think
[05:49] <erUSUL> nexousNET: man update-rc.d the next time ;)
[05:49] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: nv is the open source driver most likely incompatible to your card
[05:49] <rausb0> intelikey: so why dont you use lilo for the time being?
[05:50] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: you probably need to supply "nvidia"
[05:50] <nexousNET> erUSUL: I just run 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults' and then I get > i don't have to do anything else?
[05:50] <chalmer> Dougie: when i click SSID it showed tha name of the network, then i entered tha key, and then i deactivated the ethernet card to make sure the wireless card was working but there's nothing
[05:50] <intelikey> rausb0 i do.  but that doesn't get it fixed.
[05:50] <eilker> anyone using last fm in amarok ?
[05:50] <rausb0> intelikey: i see
[05:50] <bayziders> I have a windows xp pro disk in my cd drive and i have the .vmx for it but it still wont load
[05:50] <bayziders> in vmware player
[05:50] <bayziders> what is wrong
[05:50] <Thug-N-Me> ikonia i should be able to mount it manually isnt it ?
[05:51] <intelikey> rausb0 i only got grub installed a little while ago.
[05:51] <ikonia> Thug-N-Me: don't know, not used it for a while
[05:51] <erUSUL> nexousNET: you typed something wrong...
[05:51] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad - ye i ran the install script again, and checked the file. It have updatet it to nvidia now
[05:51] <erUSUL> nexousNET: try again
[05:51] <Thug-N-Me> ikonia is is recong. lsusb Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0421:0487 Nokia Mobile Phones
[05:51] <nexousNET> 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults'
[05:51] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad, but when i reload the grafic or reboot it wont load the grafics
[05:51] <intelikey> rausb0 had to make the boot partition.   didn't have any partitions.  and you can't install grub without a partition.
[05:51] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: does it say "nvidia" in your xorg.org now?
[05:51] <Dougie> chalmer: are you connected directly to your router right now? can you check the settings to see if you have a hex or ascii wep key also you may need to restart...i found that somtimes it didn't want to update my wireless settings until i restarted
[05:51] <chalmer> Dougie: does the "kay type" need to b plain (ASCII) or (HEXADEC)  ?
[05:51] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad ye
[05:52] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: try "modprobe nvidia" now
[05:52] <Dougie> chalmer: its usually HEXADEC
[05:52] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: sudo modprobe nvidia
[05:52] <Dougie> chalmer: but you can change it on your router
[05:52] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: sry
[05:52] <nexousNET> erUSUL: I type 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults' and then it comes up in a new line ' > '
[05:52] <chalmer> Dougie: yes threw tha ethernet card
[05:52] <rausb0> intelikey: and why didnt you partition /dev/sda in the first place?
[05:52] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad - FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[05:52] <Dougie> chalmer: if that doesn't work then try disableing the wep encryption and see if you can get it connected that way
[05:53] <intelikey> rausb0 i don't want partitions
[05:53] <tbuss> going to install with live cd do i choose create default setup if i want to install to external hdd to use windows and xp
[05:53] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: huh?
[05:53] <Dougie> chalmer: if not then i'm not sure :)
[05:53] <rausb0> intelikey: why is that?
[05:53] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: this looks strange
[05:53] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad - thats what i got
[05:53] <killermach> does anyone do any multilanguage writing, I'm new to ubuntu and need to write docs in openoffice in english and spanish, any pointers?
[05:53] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: check your dmesg.  it may have tainted the kernel
[05:53] <erUSUL> nexousNET: that's becouse bash thinks you hasn't ended the comand so you obviusly misstyped something... do not put the '
[05:53] <chalmer> Dougie ok brb
[05:53] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: is that all?
[05:53] <eilker> anyone using last fm in amarok ?
[05:53] <intelikey> rausb0 cause i'm wierd that way.
[05:53] <Thug-N-Me> ikonia how do i find the assigned device for Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0421:0487 Nokia Mobile Phones  any idea ?>
[05:53] <rausb0> intelikey: partitions are good to organise your hard disk
[05:53] <shatrat> killermach, theres a link to information about helping with documentation at ubuntu.com
[05:53] <ikonia> Thug-N-Me: nope
[05:53] <nexousNET> erUSUL: sorry didnt see that.
[05:53] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad, yes its all. But guess it havent "start" using the new settings before i do the alt-ctrl-backspace
[05:54] <ikonia> Thug-N-Me: not used it for a long time. Try the docs
[05:54] <rausb0> intelikey: well, if you insist in the weirdness, you'll probably have to stick to lilo
[05:54] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: that's for suer
[05:54] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight - huh?
[05:54] <nexousNET> How do I restart it now, because Shutdown, and restart are gone from my quit
[05:54] <Thug-N-Me> ikonia im not talking about the package gnokii
[05:54] <ikonia> Thug-N-Me: ok
[05:54] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: type "dmesg | grep nvidia"
[05:54] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad - but when i do that, it will give me the error and i  only have the comman line to wrork from
[05:54] <intelikey> rausb0 we'll see.   and thanks for having a look see at my paste.
[05:54] <ikonia> Thug-N-Me: check the udev rules
[05:54] <shatrat> nexousNET, you could right click the panel and use Add to panel to add a shut down button
[05:54] <neo_> I have ar eal quick question guys....what is the shortcut key for the launcher? I mean, if I wanted to launch xchat for example...I remember there used to be a shortcut key that would give me a dialog where I'd type "xchat" and it would open up. Do you guys know what this might be?
[05:55] <rausb0> intelikey: no problem
[05:55] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight - no output
[05:55] <Varsendaggr> how do i easily upgrade to edgy
[05:55] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: you might find more in /var/log/xorg*
[05:55] <andy101> neo_ alt-F2
[05:55] <Varsendaggr> from dapper
[05:55] <erUSUL> neo_: alt + f2
[05:55] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: what about "dmesg | tail" ?
[05:55] <nexousNET> shatrat: I already have my quite icon on my panel, but since I removed the gdm before those options aren't there.
[05:55] <neo_> Thanks guys, that was driving me crazy.
[05:55] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight - nothing
[05:55] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: nothing at all or nothing related to nvidia?
[05:56] <Thug-N-Me> ikonia check them for what man ? just search for nokia or how ? :) i wish i know what the " dev/what " for the usb nokia connection so i can mount it manually
[05:56] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight nothing at all
[05:56] <shatrat> Poul^Laptop, the actual file address is /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:56] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: umm, okay...i suppose just try 'dmesg', does it do anything?
[05:56] <ikonia> Thug-N-Me: look in udev rules for nokia
[05:57] <FOAD> Hey.
[05:57] <chalmer> Dougie: will i need to do a restart after each change (HEX) and disabeling tha wep key?
[05:57] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: try this too: find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -iname "*nvidia*"
[05:57] <FOAD> I just got a new external HD and it shows up on the Desktop fine, as "LACIE".  How do I change the name?
[05:57] <darren> well I tried the tips to mount my windows PC but I get an error after i try he mount -a command
[05:57] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: and see if it finds any nvidia kernel driver...
[05:57] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight - give alot of outputs
[05:57] <darren> it says couldn't close namecache on top of gencache
[05:57] <Thug-N-Me> ikonia seems like its Disk /dev/sdb: 2007 MB,<PHONE_NUMBER> bytes 2 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1019 cylinders nits = cylinders of 3844 * 512 = 1968128 bytes
[05:57] <erUSUL> Thug-N-Me: some mobile phones get identified as usb modems and get a /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0 or something like that. do a 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' and unplugg/plugg the mobile and see what the msgs are
[05:58] <xtknight> cosmodad: in his case the kernel module was loaded (it exists), but the install function within the module did not succeed.
[05:58] <chalmer> Dougie: will i need to do a restart after each change (HEX) and disabeling tha wep key?
[05:58] <cosmodad> xtknight: ok
[05:58] <Thug-N-Me> erUSUL ok
[05:58] <xtknight> i had the problem the other day, it generally means you didn't compile against the right kernel sources
[05:58] <xtknight> though in my case it was because i had a new kernel with GPL/legal issues
[05:58] <Dash1> I've just installed 6.10, but I'm unable to logon successfully.  I put in my auth details and I get that funny sound (which sounds like it's cut short...), the loading box gets to Nautilis and then... nothing.  I have a desktop, a mouse, but nothing else.  Any suggestions?  The Live CD worked fine.
[05:59] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad - could not get it to work the last thing there
[05:59] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad - no such fle....
[05:59] <Dougie> chalmer: after you get the settings that you think are right if they arent working try restarting

[05:59] <chalmer> Dougie: ok
[06:00] <FOAD> Anyone?
[06:00] <darren> any ideas?
[06:00] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: it shouldn't be an issue but I'd like to make sure: type "find" and see if it outputs something (list of files)
[06:00] <erUSUL> Thug-N-Me: so it seems the phone is acting as a modem when you plug it...
[06:00] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad yes alot
[06:01] <Thug-N-Me> erUSUL which is no good. so this way i wont be able to mount it will i?
[06:01] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: and you say this: find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -iname "*nvidia*"          <-- gives you "file not found"
[06:01] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: ?
[06:01] <FOAD> Bueller?
[06:02] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad now it do
[06:02] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad must have been typo before
[06:02] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: i recommend posting the whole output of 'dmesg' on !pastebin
[06:02] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad /lib/modules/2.6.20-11-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia
[06:02] <Poul^Laptop> /lib/modules/2.6.20-11-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
[06:02] <Poul^Laptop> /lib/modules/2.6.20-11-generic/kernel/drivers/char/agp/nvidia-agp.ko
[06:02] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: ok... do what xtknight recommended please
[06:02] <darren> the drive seems to have mounted but the contents are letters of the alphabet
[06:02] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: um, do you have Feisty ?
[06:02] <Poul^Laptop> yes
[06:02] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight yes
[06:03] <Poul^Laptop> !pastebin
[06:03] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:03] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: ok well still do the dmesg thing.  feisty is experimental so i wouldn't be surprised if there were problems.  generally the channel for Feisty problems is at #ubuntu+1   i'll see what i can do though after you post dmesg
[06:03] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad xtknight - not sure what you mean with !pastebin
[06:03] <cosmodad> !pastebin | Poul^Laptop

[06:04] <xtknight> with the 2.6.20 kernel and nvidia i believe there are problems because the new kernel exports symbols as GPL-only, which the nvidia module does not expect.  i had to recompile mine and export the symbols normally again to get the nvidia kernel module's install to succeed
[06:04] <erUSUL> Thug-N-Me: i do not know... maybe some config in the phone itself can change the way it identifys itslef to the usb bus?
[06:04] <dignick> hi everybody, quick question - configure just failed and told me to look in config.log.  where is config.log?
[06:04] <erUSUL> Thug-N-Me: try googling around...
[06:04] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, is the newest kernel not .21?
[06:04] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: we don't want you to clutter the channel with tons of dmesg output lines so go that URL, enter the output there and just return the URL to it
[06:04] <liquiddoom> Do directories in /tmp get deleted on boot?
[06:04] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: newest kernel is <IP_ADDRESS>.
[06:05] <Poul^Laptop> cosmodad, well !pastebin gave me nothing. its just a url for a page where i can paste it right?
[06:05] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: do you understand how to use pastebin?
[06:05] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: right
[06:05] <Poul^Laptop> no i dont understand how to use it :PP
[06:05] <xtknight> nvidia said a new driver would fix the problem but for now you must recompile the kernel to get current nvidia drivers to install.
[06:05] <Poul^Laptop> but give me a sec
[06:05] <Dashers> Could anybody help me with troubleshooting bootup?  I'm unable to get very far past logon.
[06:05] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: ok all you have to do is paste the output of 'dmesg' into the text box on pastebin
[06:06] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: i should ask, do you really want to use Feisty?  it doesn't sound like it's really for you
[06:06] <Poul^Laptop> cant copy the hole output of dmesg
[06:06] <erUSUL> Thug-N-Me: http://www.gnokii.org/
[06:06] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, well we gotta learn right :)

[06:07] <foormea> anyone has an idea why grub won't load my system into runlevel 3 when i add a 3 at the end of the kernel line in grub?
[06:07] <spawn311> rausb: if windows is making braindead proxy dhcp request -- am I SOL under ubunutu?
[06:07] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: yeah imo it's bad to start on an experimental OS though :).  eh whatever, well increase your terminal scrollback and copy the whole dmesg
[06:07] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight. i did not have problems with the latest kernel, just when it updatet i have had problems with beryl
[06:07] <dignick> hi everybody, quick question - configure just failed and told me to look in config.log.  where is config.log?
[06:08] <xtknight> dignick: cat ./config.log
[06:08] <yet_another_noob> hi all... a noob question! ...how do I easily installed mozilla seamonkey? (i use badger)

[06:09] <illusina> How can I copy 150gb from drive to drive without my entire system becoming unusable (laggy)?
[06:09] <assasukasse> xtknight: i tought debian was more up to date
[06:09] <xtknight> N3WB: `java -jar asdf.jar ` i <think>
[06:09] <N3WB> oh ok :P
[06:09] <Dashers> Could anybody help me with troubleshooting bootup?  I'm unable to get very far past logon.
[06:09] <xtknight> assasukasse: depends.  Sarge isn't but sid or etch maybe

[06:10] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: odd, i don't see anything about the nvidia module in there
[06:11] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: did you try the driver off nvidia.com?
[06:11] <iulian_> hi, I have Ubuntu 6.10 Server and LAMP installed by default. PHP versione delivered with Ubuntu distro is 5.1.6. How can I install last version of PHP without losing current configuration
[06:11] <Poul^Laptop> nope
[06:11] <iulian_> ?
[06:11] <Poul^Laptop> i just ran a script, 2sec
[06:11] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: well i didn't see nvidia.ko in your /lib/modules...
[06:11] <Poul^Laptop> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_nVidia
[06:11] <Poul^Laptop> that one
[06:11] <Dashers> iulian_: you should just be able to backup your php.ini
[06:11] <bas> iulian_: you might try and search for a 'backport'
[06:11] <CheshireViking> is there a way in kopete to show whether i'm online/away/busy etc in the kopete contact list and also to show whether contacts are similarly online/away rather than having the small icon showing that info?
[06:11] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: where did you get that output from?
[06:11] <Poul^Laptop> dmesg
[06:12] <cosmodad> Poul^Laptop: hmm...
[06:12] <Dashers> I've just installed 6.10, but I'm unable to logon successfully.  I put in my auth details and I get that funny sound (which sounds like it's cut short...), the loading box gets to Nautilis and then... nothing.  I have a desktop, a mouse, but nothing else.  Any suggestions?  The Live CD worked fine.
[06:12] <iulian_> bas, what do you mean by searching for a 'backport'?
[06:12] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, i ran the script listet  at 2:  and it worked on the last kernel
[06:13] <Poul^Laptop> havent installed any nvidia drivers at any point
[06:13] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: i dont recommend using that.  try the driver off www.nvidia.com
[06:13] <Poul^Laptop> easy to install?
[06:13] <Factory> Poul^Laptop, Or envy always works.

[06:16] <NetLarIrvine> What is the latest version, Edgy?
[06:16] <liquiddoom> Hey, does sudo work in a shellscript?
[06:16] <liquiddoom> Or do I have to run the script with sudo
[06:16] <Poul^Laptop> factory- sure it works properly with fiesty
[06:16] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: umm i don't know.. like i said, Feisty is really a can of worms, it's alpha.  the final will be released in like a month.  i just don't think it's a good idea to use right now.  but whatever, goto www.nvidia.com and download the latest linux drivers
[06:17] <Dougie> shatrat: this is what i'm having trouble with finding my URI..... it's not in the CUPS list they dont have canon listed...
[06:17] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, well i dont know for sure, just a friend who said it was as close to release that it would not matter much anyway

[06:18] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight - i am not sure which i should dl from the link i just posted
[06:18] <Pollywog> what is a good vnc client for XP?
[06:19] <liquiddoom> Pollywog: RealVNC's client isn't bad
[06:19] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: ia32 if you have the i386 version of ubuntu.  amd64 if you have the amd64 version
[06:19] <bas> iulian_: a backport is a 'newer' version of a package on an older version of ubuntu
[06:19] <Pollywog> liquiddoom: ty
[06:19] <theneb> Pollywog: make sure you're using vnc over ssh
[06:19] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight ok
[06:19] <baxter_kylie> Help, please. I can't get mysql to start! :-p
[06:19] <Pollywog> theneb: oh yes of course, that is how I do it

[06:22] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: probably..
[06:22] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, did not see it was downloading so slow, so might not have been done :PP
[06:23] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, so if thise solve my problems, i will ahve to do it each time the kernel is updated right?
[06:23] <Poul^Laptop> this
[06:23] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: yup
[06:24] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight - You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before

[06:24] <Poul^Laptop> and cosmodad also
[06:24] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: you don't want to run it just right away anyway.  you have to do 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' which will kill your X session (the GUI you're on right now).  then you have to run "sudo sh asdf.run"
[06:25] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, well when ireboot the GUI wont load so not a problem :P
[06:25] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: really?
[06:25] <mfd> Is it wise to install fiesty fawn?
[06:25] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: why is that hh

[06:25] <Poul^Laptop> so when it try to load taht, where the problem startet with not ahving the nvidia installed properly
[06:26] <xtknight> mfd: it's still in alpha stage and very volatile (prone to breakage)
[06:26] <chalmer> Dougie: u still here ?
[06:26] <mfd> xtknight: I'm coming from a Gentoo background, I'm not sure I'd be fussed enough to download 6:10 when 7.04 comes out next month.
[06:26] <Necromaniac> hi there i have a question... is there an option to level the playback volume in amarok?
[06:26] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, cya lator :P hope its fast and load first time :PPP
[06:26] <mfd> I have slow net, so I'd have to update a whole lot of stuff.
[06:26] <xtknight> mfd: well my Feisty just broke so i may be biased
[06:27] <mfd> What happened?
[06:27] <crummie> hello, can someone help me? it's important :/
[06:27] <xtknight> mfd: it freezes at "mounting local filesystems.." i assume it's a feisty problem, ive never seen it anywhere else.  additionally, my Edgy still boots fine
[06:27] <Dougie> chalmer: yep

[06:28] <chalmer> Dougie: ok i got my wireless card working. now how do i get it to show my other 3 comps on tha network?
[06:28] <xtknight> mfd: this is the only case i've heard of it, though probably not many people using Feisty have rebooted in awhile ;P
[06:28] <mfd> xtknight: Yes, but it would still have problems.
[06:28] <Dougie> lol
[06:28] <Dougie> chalmer: go to places
[06:28] <Dougie> chalmer: and then network
[06:28] <mfd> Where can I get the daily builds?
[06:29] <Dougie> chalmer: you should see windows network pop up double click that and then you should see the other computers
[06:29] <xtknight> mfd: http://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/daily/current/
[06:29] <mfd> xtknight: Thanks.
[06:29] <mfd> If it tries any funny business I'll make an attempt to patch it up.

[06:31] <xtknight> mfd: there are like 50 updates a day in Feisty (at least sometimes)
[06:31] <TheVault> This is vital, as in the past I gotten it work but restart or shutdown computer and wireless did not work again
[06:31] <mfd> xtknight: Hmm..
[06:31] <xtknight> mfd: so when you say you have slow net i'm not sure it's a good idea...unless you just dont want to update it
[06:32] <mfd> xtknight: Nah, I can go to a friends house to make regular updates.

[06:33] <chalmer> Dougie: no it didnt pop up. but i click "network server" and then click "window network" and then "home" and then it showed my other comps

[06:34] <chalmer> Dougie: no it didnt pop up. but i click "network server" and then click "window network" and then "home" and then it showed my other comps
