[15:08] <wols> Karyom: yes
[15:08] <krazytekn0> ok, we need to chroot again
[15:08] <Dr_willis> Karyom,  i do it all the time :)
[15:08] <Karyom> wols thanks
[15:08] <wols> krazytekn0: chroot for a nvidia driver install? why?
[15:08] <seshomaru> Anderson, things are more likely to break especially if yopu installed 3rd party software
[15:08] <krazytekn0> wols lasses is on the livecd
[15:09] <seshomaru> Anderson, by creating a /home partition you keep your data and your setting
[15:09] <user__> Karyom hello
[15:09] <cassiopea> wols: What exactly do you want to know from that output, it basically just says what version I have installed
[15:09] <Anderson> seshomaru, I have a home partition I think... hold on... it's been a while since I installed
[15:09] <wols> cassiopea: I want ALL of it
[15:10] <cassiopea> wols: ii  xorg-driver-fglrx 7.1.0-8.37.6+<IP_ADDRESS>-14.10 Video driver for ATI graphics accelerators
[15:10] <Anderson> seshomaru, I do have a home partition, I musta been thinkin
[15:10] <krazytekn0> lassesandber42 "mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/oldroot"
[15:10] <penguinguy1234> Anderson: I was told that you should make separate /, /home, /boot, and /var patitions
[15:10] <krazytekn0> lassesandber42 "mkdir /mnt/oldroot" FIRST
[15:10] <seshomaru> penguinguy1234, thats a little extreme i would say...
[15:11] <penguinguy1234> Does anyone know a safe way to manually turn off a fan? I was told to type 'echo "3" > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state' as root, but after some googling, I found out that may mess up the thermal trip points.
[15:11] <lassesandberg42> aye, did that
[15:11] <Anderson> penguinguy1234, I have a / and /home swap and something else...
[15:11] <wols> cassiopea: xorg-driver-fglrx comes with aticonfig
[15:11] <Dr_willis> You dont see /boot used by itself much these days. - there cases where its a good idea.
[15:11] <krazytekn0> lassesandber42 did you already chroot?
[15:11] <Anderson> !compiling
[15:11] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[15:11] <user__> Karyom hello
[15:11] <blitz_x> penguinguy: you try unplugging it?
[15:11] <krazytekn0> lassesandber42 "chroot /mnt/oldroot"
[15:12] <Anderson> !compiling_modules
[15:12] <Karyom> user__ hello too
[15:12] <cassiopea> wols: aticonfig reconfigures X, I don't need to reconfigure X,  I just need to set the gamma
[15:12] <wols> Anderson: what are you trying to do?
[15:12] <lassesandberg42> done
[15:12] <talon316> is there anyway to fix a corrupted luks partition?
[15:12] <Anderson> wols, fix my Panasonic Toughbook CF-18 touchpad and touchscreen
[15:12] <Adnarim> cassiopea, you change the graka settings in the xorg.conf
[15:12] <penguinguy1234> Does anyone know a safe way to manually turn off a fan? I was told to type 'echo "3" > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state' as root, but after some googling, I found out that may mess up the thermal trip points.
[15:12] <Adnarim> and thats aticonfig for

[15:12] <utk> I have two ISP's providing me two diffrent connections, is there any way to use both of them simultaneously on Ubuntu
[15:13] <wols> utk: tere are but probably not as you want it.
[15:13] <utk> ??
[15:13] <penguinguy1234> utk: how do you want to connect to the network (ethernet or wireless)
[15:13] <utk> ethernet
[15:13] <cassiopea> wols: yes, that's what I need, but it's not installed right now, and I can't find it in Add/Remove Applications. Is there any reason to believe I'll have more luck with apt?
[15:14] <penguinguy1234> utk: Do you have two ethernet ports
[15:14] <cassiopea> wols: or can you tell me what it's name is under Add/Remove Applications?
[15:14] <wols> cassiopea: it's in restricted http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/x11/fglrx-control
[15:14] <utk> yeah
[15:14] <penguinguy1234> one sec (im googling)
[15:15] <krazytekn0> lasses now try this
[15:15] <talon316> LUKS partition corrupted- any way to fix, or consider data lost?
[15:15] <Anderson> wols, as per this solution http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-handheld-25/panasonic-toughbook-cf-29-touch-screen-485053/page7.html

[15:23] <krazytekn0> ok, you should be good to restart, what happened was, we deleted your video driver, but xorg was still trying to use it.
[15:23] <wols> drmikecrowe: increase the partition /var is mounted on
[15:23] <talon316> YAY! RECOVERED ENCRYPTED DATA. sorry, just wanted to say that.

[15:24] <wols> Linux_: not really
[15:24] <brobostigon> linux_: in linux there is no need for anti virus
[15:24] <wols> Linux_: there is clamav and some commercial packages. they're all mainly used to scan for windows mail malware that won#t run on linux anyways
[15:25] <Linux_> brobostigon: i am new to linux i mean there is no need fo anti virus or anti spam ?
[15:25] <Linux_> wols: i mean if i check my online banking is it ganna be secure ?
[15:25] <wols> Linux_: there is no need for useless AV programs or firewalls. but there are lots of antispam software
[15:25] <wols> yes it's gonna be secure
[15:25] <ompaul> !virus | Linux_
[15:25] <ubotu> Linux_: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[15:25] <brobostigon> linux_: no need for anti virus, but email clients like thunderbird still have anti spam
[15:25] <larson999> i should have gave mythtv a go a long time ago.  it rocks
[15:26] <wols> Linux_: phishing for online banking still works so be creafel what urls you lcick

[15:27] <wols> I mean you shouldn't shut off your brain just cause you run linux
[15:27] <wols> no. if it's the right URL and https it should be secure. and only if the bank did their job well

[15:36] <krazytekn0> and that should take a while :(
[15:36] <Rico> I need help double checking my setup of samba on my Ubuntu server.
[15:36] <wols> robdeman: you only listen on those ports and no other. you won't need a firewall. closed ports don't need firewalls
[15:37] <brobostigon> robdeman: ssh -X firestarter
[15:37] <robdeman> brobostigon: There is no Gnome / X window system installed on the server
[15:37] <brobostigon> ok

[15:43] <lassesandberg42> krazytekn0: sorry. yup. upgrading now
[15:43] <wols> Anderson: no. you will need linux-headers for your kernel version
[15:43] <Radius> Right ok :D, well I have (somewhere) an Ubuntu live disc, and I always thought that this was a live-only disc, ie can't become a permanent installation, but can I install Ubuntu properly onto a hard drive with this CD, rather than having to download the ISO file? (sorry if that's confusing)
[15:43] <lassesandberg42> it says about 14 minutes remaining
[15:43] <wols> Nirevus: full output please

[15:51] <ljsmithx> xLE
[15:51] <Dereque_> how can i enable it ?
[15:51] <Eyemean> if openGL fails is that because i have fglrx installed?
[15:51] <ljsmithx> have you got compiz installed
[15:51] <xLE> yes
[15:51] <wols> Eyemean: no. fglrx is a hardware accelerated opengl driver
[15:52] <Nirevus> wols: Anything?
[15:52] <ljsmithx> Goto System>Prefrences>Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[15:52] <wols> Nirevus: I asked you something
[15:52] <Nirevus> wols: I replied :P
[15:52] <Eyemean> wols, could that mean i dont have opengl installed?
[15:52] <ljsmithx> That should be it
[15:52] <wols> Eyemean: what ati card do you have?
[15:52] <Nirevus> wols: The only other line was "Checking requirements.... ok."
[15:52] <Oli``> Strangework: I've never tried it out, so I'll take your word for it =) Have you tried running it in windowed mode?
[15:53] <ljsmithx> I need help with my problem... the title bar has gone walkys
[15:53] <Jowi> Strangework, I would suggest you ask in #winehq (usually better for specific game questions)
[15:53] <Strangework> Oli``, hehe, thankss, yah, I only run it in windowed mode
[15:53] <ljsmithx> I can't move the windows or anything
[15:53] <Oli``> ljsmithx: all your window decorations?
[15:53] <Strangework> Jowi, Yessir
[15:53] <ljsmithx> umm
[15:53] <Oli``> ljsmithx: are you using compiz?
[15:53] <ljsmithx> Well, I was mucking around in Emerald
[15:53] <ljsmithx> Yeah
[15:53] <wols> ljsmithx: is a WM running?
[15:54] <Azzmodan> newbieee, xfce4-terminal ?
[15:54] <ljsmithx> Emerald seams to have stuffed it up
[15:54] <ljsmithx> Umm
[15:54] <dwidge> Is it possible to get multi displays with an ATI 9000 IGP?
[15:54] <Azzmodan> otherwise install it
[15:54] <ljsmithx> gnome?
[15:54] <wols> dwidge: yes
[15:54] <ljsmithx> Do you mean GNOME?
[15:54] <newbieee> Azzmodan: what is diffrence between X-terminal and a normal xfce terminal...
[15:54] <Oli``> ljsmithx: heh yeah, you just need to load it up... you can do that by right clicking the desktop, going to background, clicking the visual effects tab and setting it to none, and then back to what you had it on before
[15:54] <Eyemean> wols, i have radeon 9550
[15:55] <ljsmithx> ok I'l try that
[15:55] <Dereque_> is there an embedded dock panel for ubuntu and how can i enable it ?
[15:55] <Dr_willis> xterm - is the old classic terminal program - been used for years and years. :)
[15:55] <wols> Eyemean: dpkg -l |grep fglrx
[15:55] <Oli``> ljsmithx: and just as a tip, if you need to move windows, you can press and hold alt and drag anything about
[15:55] <ljsmithx> OMG!
[15:55] <ljsmithx> YAYAYAYAYYAYAYA
[15:55] <ljsmithx> THANKS YOY!
[15:55] <ljsmithx> YOU AR A GOD@!!
[15:55] <Oli``> Happy new year =)
[15:55]  * Dr_willis wishes windows had that alt-click-drag feture

[15:56] <Nikon252> happy new year
[15:56] <dwidge> Currently the secondary display is just a clone of the primary, how can one extend the desktop onto the secondary display?
[15:56] <rudihawk> lol, yea
[15:56] <Dereque_> is there an embedded dock panel for ubuntu and how can i enable it ?
[15:56] <Oli``> dwidge: start by installing your restricted drivers
[15:56] <larson999> winders? we don't need no stinking winders
[15:56] <ljsmithx> I LOVE YOU MAN
[15:56] <dwidge> Ok.
[15:56] <ljsmithx> xLE, has what I wrote solved your problem?
[15:56] <ljsmithx> is compiz working now?
[15:57] <Strangework> Who needs hate? :P
[15:57] <Oli``> dwidge: if you're on a nvidia card, that means you'll get a nvidia-settings program that you can set "twinview" up with... I'm not sure what the process is with ATI
[15:57] <ljsmithx> omg
[15:57] <Parsec300> Dereque_, there is no embedded dock like in OSX if you mean that, but you can download one that looks a tad like it.
[15:57] <ljsmithx> I'm lovin this!
[15:58] <Karyom> Parsec300 what is the name of the dock?
[15:58] <ljsmithx> you guys should get paid for the help you give out
[15:58] <Dereque_> that was what i was asking
[15:58] <Dereque_> thanks to parsec
[15:58] <bazhang> avant window manager
[15:58] <Dereque_> which you recommend for a newbie ?
[15:58] <bazhang> err navigator
[15:58] <Dereque_> easy installation?
[15:58] <Parsec300> Hmm. I forgot. There are several. I've compiled one from source that seemed to be the best
[15:59] <Parsec300> Let me look for it
[15:59] <wols> Eyemean: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:59] <jason__> have a question...how do activate a second monitor?   i have a nvidia 8500..with 2 monitors plugged into it..and i have the nvidia drivers installed
[15:59] <Karyom> Kiba Dock? i installed it, its realy buggy
[15:59] <wols> !ati | Eyemean
[15:59] <ubotu> Eyemean: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[15:59] <Oli``> Dereque_: AWN is pretty popular
[15:59] <Nirevus> Does anyone know what the problem is with this. Trying to compile madwifi from source, when I compile I get the following output: "Checking requirements... ok." "Checking kernel configuration... /bin/sh: Syntax error: "|" unexpcted." "make: *** [configcheck] Error 2"
[15:59] <matysek> Hi there. I have small problem. All my videos are black&white while playing. any idea?
[15:59] <jason__> i have the driver inbstalled already
[15:59] <jason__> installed*
[15:59] <bazhang> Dereque_: ati card?
[15:59] <jason__> nvidia
[16:00] <Dereque_> yes ati card
[16:00] <larson999> we do get paid.  a link is created to your bank account when you /join.
[16:00] <Parsec300> bazhang was right. Avant Windows Manager.
[16:00] <wols> Nirevus: it runs some script that is for some reason or other buggy according to your shell
[16:00] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=581620 Dereque_
[16:00] <Parsec300> To compile it, you can google for instructions on how to do that
[16:00] <WorkingOnWise> when i switch to a vc, i only have a blank screen sans the blinking cursor in the upper left corner. this is the case on all 6. If I hit enter, or any other keys there is no change.My system is encrypting a 55GB partition atm, and system load is pretty high as a result, but I cant imagine a high load causing this. What do u think?
[16:00] <Oli``> jason__: load up nvidia-settings and you do it in there
[16:01] <jason__> nvidia settings?  from synaptic?
[16:01] <Dereque_> thank so much guys
[16:01] <Nirevus> wols: It's just a standard install of madwifi downloaded from the link on the Ubuntu site
[16:01] <Dereque_> i am going to install it now
[16:01] <bazhang> no worries
[16:01] <jason__> how do you load up nvidia settings?
[16:01] <Parsec300> Ok
[16:01] <jason__> im new to all this
[16:01] <Brian`> hi,
[16:01] <Oli``> jason__: is should have installed when you installed the restricted driver.. it doesn't show up in the menu though, so whack alt+f2 and type it in
[16:01] <fritz> Hello
[16:02]  * away returns (Unknown reason [0s]) (total away time: 0s)
[16:02] <Brian`> is there a command line equivalent synaptic package on ubuntu?
[16:02] <Oli``> Brian`: apt, aptitude
[16:02] <Brian`> I'd like to see the list of packages available to install and so on
[16:02] <Dr_willis> !apt | Brian`
[16:02] <ubotu> Brian`: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[16:02] <bazhang> Brian`: yes apt-get
[16:02] <Brian`> !apt?
[16:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apt? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:02] <Oli``> lol

[16:02] <Oli``> stupid ubotu =)
[16:02] <dwidge> Oli``: ATI 9000 IGP, I think it will need xorg-driver-fglrx?
[16:03] <Brian`> Oli``, how do I see the list of packages like I do on synaptic package management?
[16:03] <fritz> I am very new to the ubuntu world and can not access the hard disk I hooked on. It is there but will not let me access. I tried to change the rights settings even over the terminal but I failed.
[16:03] <Eyemean> wols, im using gutsy so cant rember how the ati driver was installed, http://pastebin.com/d141f07b4
[16:03] <fritz> Can anybody help?
[16:03] <Oli``> Brian`: look at aptitude, that's a much fuller-featured semi-gui app
[16:03] <Brian`> Oli``, aha i c :) thanks
[16:04] <ljsmithx> grrrr
[16:04] <bazhang> fritz: how is the disk formatted? ntfs?
[16:04] <Dr_willis> fritz,  give details to the channel on the type and filesystem of the device.
[16:04] <ljsmithx> Where can I get a binary version of avant?
[16:04] <fritz> I have NTFS AND FAT32 discs
[16:04] <Brian`> by the way, is there anyone who is using  nVidia 8500 GT graphic card with Ubuntu?
[16:04] <WorkingOnWise> when i switch to a vc, i only have a blank screen sans the blinking cursor in the upper left corner. this is the case on all 6. If I hit enter, or any other keys there is no change.My system is encrypting a 55GB partition atm, and system load is pretty high as a result, but I cant imagine a high load causing this. What do u think?
[16:04] <Oli``> dwidge: erm, no idea I'm afraid.. I only know the nvidia method; but take a look at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[16:05] <Parsec300> ljsmithx, you can't

[16:05] <ljsmithx> ok then
[16:05] <ljsmithx> damn lol
[16:05] <Parsec300> fritz, you need to do a force mount
[16:05] <Oli``> ljsmithx: there is a bleeding-edge repo on launchpad, i think
[16:05] <Parsec300> It is tricky
[16:05] <wols> Eyemean: glxinfo |grep -i direct
[16:05] <fritz> How do I do that?
[16:05] <ljsmithx> ??? Whats that Oli?
[16:06] <Dr_willis> Hmm i found avant window thing binaries at -->
[16:06] <Dr_willis> deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator
[16:06] <Oli``> ljsmithx: meaning you can just apt-get install it... yeah, add this to your software sources: deb http://repo.freecreations.info/ubuntu gutsy freeverse
[16:06] <Eyemean> wols, i get the following: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[16:06] <Eyemean> direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

[16:07] <ljsmithx> how do I add?
[16:07] <Parsec300> hold on fritz
[16:07] <Eyemean> wols, could it be because i have to screens connected, but unforutnaely they are in clone mode
[16:07] <fritz> I will, thanks
[16:07] <Eyemean> wols i meant 2 screen
[16:07] <Oli``> System>Administration>Software Sources, Third Party, click the add button and paste that in

[16:08] <ljsmithx> Thank man! I really apreciate
[16:08] <shay> is there a metapackage that includes all then packages to transform a server installation into a desktop?
[16:08] <Parsec300> fritz, first you need to create a mount-point for the partition.
[16:08] <astro76> shay, ubuntu-desktop
[16:08] <Nirevus> wols: do you know anything that might solve my prolblem
[16:09] <fritz> I did create a folder for the mount on the desktop, right?
[16:09] <Brian`> hey, when I install nvidia graphic card, do I download them from nvidia website -> freebsd x86 driver?
[16:09] <ljsmithx> haha
[16:09] <ljsmithx> awesome!
[16:09] <Amerio> have a problem with ubuntu , when I choose ubuntu from booting list , the loading logo doesnt show , just the login screen , any ideas?
[16:09] <ljsmithx> Installing now
[16:09] <Parsec300> type: 'mkdir /media/Windows'
[16:09] <ompaul> !enter | ljsmithx
[16:09] <ubotu> ljsmithx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[16:10] <ljsmithx> OK!
[16:10] <m3gach33zy> Hey guys I need some help with my wireless.  Every now and then on the start up it wont let me connect, and it always is asking for the password.  I know the password is correct and i try different encryption types but it doesnt work.  Usually I have to restart one or two times to just get the wireless up.  Anyone know what I can do?
[16:10] <shay> tanks, astro76
[16:10] <Brian`> I'm having problem installing nvidia 8500 gt :(
[16:10] <Oli``> ljsmithx: my bad! that's not the official repo. nuke that repo and follow this instead (much better for you): http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=DistributionGuides
[16:10] <Jowi> Amerio, could be framebuffer
[16:10] <fritz> I get 'permission denied'
[16:10] <Jowi> !framebuffer | Amerio
[16:10] <ubotu> Amerio: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub
[16:11] <Parsec300> Ok. Then type: 'mkdir /media/Windows' and when asked for your password enter it
[16:11] <Amerio> Jowi: I dont have this problem @ this current pc , but on the laptop because I have vista installed it
[16:11] <Brian`> it past grub menu and when it tries to load GNOME, it always fails due to some graphic card issue
[16:11] <astro76> Parsec300, fritz put sudo before mkdir
[16:11] <Oli``> fritz: chown it to your user: sudo chown username directory
[16:12] <fritz> I am not asked for a password
[16:12] <ljsmithx> ????
[16:12] <Parsec300> Yeah, I meant put sudo before the command mkdir
[16:12] <ljsmithx> Oli, I clicked on awe in the prefrences thing and nothing happens
[16:12] <Jaszbo> Hi room. I have an HP 3970 scanner and I am trying to get it to work with gutsy on an HP dv6646us laptop. Any suggestions?
[16:12] <Jowi> Amerio, I dont understand the problem. Vista is unrelated to Ubuntu boot logo - unless you mean that by installing Vista you no longer have the option to boot Ubuntu.
[16:13] <fritz> OK, I got the folder
[16:13] <Amerio> Jowi: No , I mean I had Ubuntu Loading logo working fine , but after installing vista , the Loading logo doesnt work
[16:13] <Parsec300> Do you know the partition number of the NTFS?
[16:14] <ljsmithx> I cannot click on awe, whats wrong?
[16:14] <Jaszbo> ! scanner
[16:14] <ubotu> Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE). For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR
[16:14] <brobostigon> amerio: you killed grub by installing vista, ubuntu needs grub to boot.
[16:14] <ljsmithx> awn*
[16:14] <Jowi> Amerio, that is very strange indeed. I would be surprised if Vista have modified your BIOS/CMOS settings. anyway, you can try to set the framebuffer resolution (by force it) in the page ubotu said.
[16:14] <fritz> cCan that be something I see in the hard disk manager?
[16:15] <Amerio> brobostigon : i'll try the guide jowi gave me
[16:15] <Parsec300> Do you know what device your hard-disk is on? E.g. /dev/sda or /dev/hda ?
[16:15] <Parsec300> Try 'sudo fdisk /dev/sda'
[16:16] <fritz> dev/hda
[16:16] <Parsec300> If that doesn't do anything then 'sudo fdisk /dev/hda'
[16:16] <WorkingOnWise> when i switch to a vc, i only have a blank screen sans the blinking cursor in the upper left corner. this is the case on all 6. If I hit enter, or any other keys there is no change.My system is encrypting a 55GB partition atm, and system load is pretty high as a result, but I cant imagine a high load causing this.
[16:16] <Parsec300> Sudo gives you the possibility to execute a command with root-user rights.
[16:16] <ljsmithx> anyone? I cannot start up AWN... how do I fix this?
[16:16] <fritz> fdisk sounds dangerous? there is data on that disk...
[16:17] <astro76> Parsec300, fritz, sudo fdisk -l
[16:17] <astro76> fritz, the -l lists
[16:17] <basy> How can I check if I am on 32.bit or 64.bit Linux from console, plz?
[16:17] <Oli``> basy: uname -a
[16:17] <Parsec300> As long as you don't write anything through fdisk it's ok. And it seems astro76 knows more about it than i do.
[16:17] <Parsec300> I'm a Mac user.
[16:17] <Oli``> Boo, hiss
[16:18] <Parsec300> But I also have Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro.
[16:18] <Oli``> Yey!
[16:18] <TFrog> anyone here tried to compile from svn kvirc 3.2.6?
[16:18] <brobostigon> i have gutsy on my ibook g3
[16:18]  * Oli`` stops turning #ubuntu into a pantomime
[16:19] <ushimitsudoki> basy: uname -a
[16:19] <RickX> can anyone tell me how to stop KDE from immediately switching to the desktop that had a window opened on it?
[16:19] <RickX> I rarely want to go to a desktop, just becasue an app or window opened.
[16:19] <ljsmithx> Don't worry, installing now.
[16:19] <Parsec300> I just can't get the 64-bit working right on it.
[16:19] <Amerio> Jowi: what is "Boot-Time Diagnostic Screen" ?
 <ushimitsudoki>: thank you
[16:19] <Parsec300> No networking and no advanced graphics
[16:20] <astro76> RickX, try #kubuntu
[16:20] <Parsec300> How far is fritz?
[16:20] <fritz> Ok, what do I do now?
[16:20] <Oli``> ljsmithx: did you switch the repo, as I suggested?
[16:20] <ljsmithx> umm
[16:20] <ljsmithx> I added two more?
[16:20] <Parsec300> what partition is NTFS?
[16:20] <Jowi> Amerio, no idea. where do you see that?
[16:20] <RickX> astro76, thanks. this actually went to the wrong window.
[16:20] <Amerio> Jowi: im in the Bios menu right now
[16:20] <Oli``> "ljsmithx: my bad! that's not the official repo. nuke that repo and follow this instead (much better for you): http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=DistributionGuides"
[16:21] <ljsmithx> Yeah
[16:21] <xLE> where can i get some theme packages for ubuntu compiz?
[16:21] <ljsmithx> I added the two from there
[16:21] <fritz> This is what I get:

[16:21] <fritz> Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>6 bytes

[16:21] <Oli``> have you run an sudo apt-get update since adding the new one, ljsmithx?
[16:21] <brobostigon> !pastebin | fritz
[16:21] <ljsmithx> nope
[16:21] <fritz> sorry
[16:21] <Parsec300> WorkingOnWise, MacBookPro 17" (dunno what card) and nVidia 8600GT i believe
[16:22] <ljsmithx> just done it then
[16:22] <Oli``> ljsmithx: well do that, then run an sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:22] <Jowi> Amerio, I haven't encountered that option in any of the BIOS settings I've seen.
[16:22] <ljsmithx> nope
[16:22] <ljsmithx> error
[16:22] <Eyemean> wols, just to let u know, its for games, incase that makes a difference
[16:22] <Parsec300> fritz, i believe you need to type: 'sudo mount -f /media/Windows /dev/hda1'
[16:23] <Parsec300> Wait
[16:23] <Jowi> Amerio, unless it's the screen just before boot that list IRQ and connected devices just before Win/DOS  boots
[16:23] <ljsmithx> hmm
[16:23] <ljsmithx> I wont worry about avant
[16:23] <Oli``> ljsmithx: what's the error? you should remove the first repo I told you to add too
[16:23] <ljsmithx> thanks anywya
[16:23] <rich__> i am trying to mkfs.xfs a disk and i am receiving device or resource busy
[16:23] <Jowi> Amerio, there's usually a help screen in the BIOS settings though that should explain it.
[16:23] <ljsmithx> I did.
[16:24] <rich__> this is the second disk i have tried in two days, al my old disc drives are fine. This is a WD250GB disc.
[16:24] <ljsmithx> Don't worry lol. Its not that important to get it installed
[16:24] <Parsec300> 'sudo mount -f -t ntfs /media/Windows /dev/hda1'
[16:24] <Amerio> Jowi: the guide only shows how to disable the frame buffer
[16:24] <Amerio> Jowi: but still have the problem
[16:24] <astro76> Parsec300, drop the -f and swap the device and mountpoint
[16:24] <astro76> ;)
[16:24] <Parsec300> Ah
[16:24] <Jowi> Amerio, no, it also show how to enter a framebuffer resolution in GRUB.
[16:24] <Parsec300> Did you get that fritz?
[16:25] <Parsec300> I haven't been able to mount an NTFS partition without the force option though
[16:25] <fritz> I'm trying
[16:25] <ljsmithx> whats some other cool software that I should install? Like Is there such things as compiz addons??
[16:25] <Jowi> Amerio, for example vga=791
[16:25] <astro76> Parsec300, according to the man -f is "fake"
[16:25]  * astro76 shrugs shoulders
[16:25] <KidDeath> my kid uses ubuntu
[16:25] <KidDeath> he's 2
[16:25] <KidDeath> actually 21 months
[16:26] <KidDeath> ROCK ON
[16:26] <KidDeath> haha
[16:26] <Parsec300> oh
[16:26] <ikonia> KidDeath: thats great thanks for sharing that pointless bit of information
[16:26] <ljsmithx> AHAH AWEOSME!
[16:26] <Parsec300> brb
[16:26] <ikonia> KidDeath: this is a support channel only. Please take chatter like that to #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:26] <ljsmithx> Is there such a thing as compiz addins type things???
[16:26] <KidDeath> ikonia: i haven't gotten to that
[16:26] <WorkingOnWise> Parsec300: try this for your video, http://www.yaroman.com/2007/08/14/howto-install-nvidia-8600gt/. gotta know what chip is used for the network to be help there.
[16:26] <ompaul> ljsmithx, ask in #compiz please
[16:27] <ljsmithx> ok
[16:27] <KidDeath> ikonia: he wants to know why wireless has yet to be worked out in a fair enough manner that i don't have to searh all over hell and back to find bloody drivers then use ndiswrapper
[16:27] <Jowi> KidDeath, "childsplay" is not bad for that age. my 22 months old likes the animal animations (they look like crap to an adult but he seems to enjoy it anyway)
[16:27] <fritz> OK, I did what Parsec300 wrote, I did not quite get the remark from astro
[16:27] <ikonia> KidDeath: thats because that card is not nativly supported. Please contact the vendor and ask them to include linux drivers in the kernel rather than complain to ubuntu
[16:28] <astro76> fritz, the command should have been: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/xxx /media/xxx
[16:28] <astro76> fritz, replace xxx as appropriate ;)
[16:28] <WorkingOnWise> Parsec300: type lspci in a terminal to find the netword card info we need.
[16:29] <KidDeath> ikonia: i'm just effen with ya cause your'e so damn serious.
[16:29] <fritz> OK, I did that now. Whats next?
[16:29] <rich__> does anyone know why my disc is saying its in use or busy when i attached it to usb?
[16:29] <ikonia> KidDeath: then please don't. This is a serious support channel
[16:29] <KidDeath> ikonia: no it isn't. it's irc
[16:29] <ompaul> KidDeath, you are offtopic
[16:29] <ikonia> KidDeath: please stop now. This is a support only channel
[16:29] <KidDeath> well ban me then
[16:30] <WorkingOnWise> lol
[16:30] <KidDeath> won't bother me none
[16:30] <Oli``> Oh the humanity!
[16:30] <Rico> I am having trouble setting up a samba share in Ubuntu 7.10 server
[16:30] <Parsec300> WorkingOnWise, I can't do that lspci. I'm on OSX right now
[16:30] <Parsec300> But thanks. I'll check out the website
[16:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Funny, I thought it was the dad not the 2yr old online
[16:30] <WorkingOnWise> Parsec300: can u boot the live cd?
[16:31] <dgjones> Jack_Sparrow, interesting list of other channels they were in as well, explains the level of conversation :)
[16:31] <Parsec300> Yes, but I just find it strrange that the 32 bit version works flawlessly even had Compiz fully running.
[16:33] <jeff07> exit
[16:33] <rich__> does anyone know of any good hardware support websites?
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> dgjones: Just trying to wake up here... But that does not surprise me.
[16:33] <rich__> for how to check if devices are in use?
[16:33] <WorkingOnWise> Parsec300: in my experience, 64 bit lags behind 32 just due to the sheer demand of 32 compared to 64. However, unless u are donig serious audio/video work , I didnt see a significand differance, except I have less headaches in 32 bit.
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> rich__: What are you trying to get going
[16:33] <Nirevus`> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4051849
[16:33] <rich__> im trying to mkfs
[16:33] <Jowi> rich__, for what type hardware for which type of problem ?
[16:34] <cached> There appears to have been a problem installing a package from synaptic and now it bugs me about it whenever I try to install something else. Removal does not help as it just says that it did not manage to remove it. What do I do?
[16:34] <rich__> mkfs.xfs on a usb hard disk external
[16:34] <Parsec300> fritz, did it work?
[16:34] <fritz> I do not know, I still do not see the files
[16:35] <WorkingOnWise> when i switch to a vc, i only have a blank screen sans the blinking cursor in the upper left corner. this is the case on all 6. If I hit enter, or any other keys there is no change.My system is encrypting a 55GB partition atm, and system load is pretty high as a result, but I cant imagine a high load causing this.
[16:35] <Jowi> rich__, "mount" will show if the disk is in use.
[16:35] <Parsec300> Type 'cd /media/Windows' and then 'ls'
[16:35] <Dr_willis> WorkingOnWise,  ive seen that issue befor with some x drivers and the frabebuffer device. I suggest disabling the framebuffer.
[16:36] <rich__> its not in use
[16:36] <Kr0ntab> WorkingOnWise: have you changed your grub confiuration to turn on framebuffering (higher resolution for console)?
[16:36] <rich__> i have three other drives that work fine.
[16:36] <Dr_willis> WorkingOnWise,   i use the options in menu.lst -->  # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb   , then 'sudo update-grub'
[16:36] <rich__> i bought a disc yesterday, someone one here said it was incompatible as it was a seagate, then i bought this one which is WD and it doesnt work etiher.
[16:36] <rich__> i can detect the device, but it says its busy.
[16:36] <Dr_willis> WorkingOnWise,  then when you reboot - the fremabuffer should be disbled.
[16:37] <ramza3> how do I get a ram file to play (*.rm).  I have it on this machine I am working on, but dont have it on another forget what I did
[16:37] <Parsec300> Do you see anything now?
[16:37] <Dr_willis> WorkingOnWise,  seen a guy in #kubutu had an identical issue sicne the last set of updates
[16:37] <brobostigon> i have a usb seagate, and it works fine no proglems
[16:37] <WorkingOnWise> Dr_willis: could there be a connection between this and my usplash problem (funky white lines instead of pretty ubuntu spalash screen, which works fine in 64bit, but not is 32)?
[16:37] <Ximal> How do I get my wine to update .... I noticed Im using an older version than as on winehq.com ????
[16:37] <Jack_Sparrow> rich__: Are you setting up a home theatre system?
[16:37] <Dr_willis> WorkingOnWise,  i alweays disable the silly splash stuff..
[16:37] <astro76> rich__, and you are sure it didn't mount as soon as you plugged it in?
[16:37] <rich__> root@host:~# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc1
[16:37] <rich__> mkfs.xfs: cannot open /dev/sdc1: Device or resource busy
[16:37] <rich__> root@host:~#
[16:37] <Ximal> I am still on 9,46
[16:37] <Dr_willis> WorkingOnWise,  with no framebuffer.. you wont get any splash either. I think. ;)
[16:38] <ompaul> NOTICE THERE WILL BE A BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING   --    this will involve some scrolling for a few seconds please wait
[16:38] <rich__> its not mounted.
[16:38] <Parsec300> astro76, is it true that when you mount something in /media it should show up on the desktop?
[16:38] <astro76> rich__, you verified this with mount command?
[16:38] <rich__> yes
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Ximal: If you need the newest version you need to install it manually.  It will not be in the repos
[16:38] <rich__> and fuser
[16:38] <WorkingOnWise> Dr_willis: it looks so slick to the ppl I do "Dog and Pony" shows for. Gotta have the pretties these days...  :)
[16:38] <ompaul> Finished -
[16:38] <astro76> Parsec300, umm, sometimes
[16:38] <xLE> i have installed compiz..etc enabled the cube
[16:38] <Kr0ntab> Dr_willis: framebuffer and usplash can both work at the same time
[16:38] <xLE> but where is my cube?
[16:39] <Ximal> thanks jack... but isn't there a way to add winehq's server to my update manager servers for resource checking ????
[16:39] <Dr_willis> WorkingOnWise,  show them the 5+Month Uptimes..  vs the eye candy you see for 20 sec.. once a month.. :)
[16:39] <ompaul> xLE, #compiz for help with that
[16:39] <rich__> its painful, i cant figure it out, must be kernel incompatibility.
[16:39] <Dr_willis> Kr0ntab,  if you say so. the whole splash stuff. has changed so much over the years. i cant keep up.
[16:39] <Jack_Sparrow> xLE: ask in compiz-fusion  but ctrl-alt left mouse and go
[16:39] <Parsec300> So, fritz. Anything?
[16:39] <fritz> ls does not do anything
[16:40] <WorkingOnWise> WorkingOnWise: I cant do that...I am messing with this thing so much, I've not seen 5 day uptimes! And it's a laptop...
[16:40] <lassesandberg42> can anyone here help me? im using "nvidia accelerated graphics driver" from restricted drivers.. and its working somewhat. but i cant set resolution above 1024*768.. but i should be able to go as high as 1900 X 1200
[16:40] <aloril> is there any simple way to play wmv9dmo/wmvdmo video/audio in 64bit ubuntu? (so far what I have found most simple way seems to be to create 32bit chroot enviroment and run 32bit mplayer there)
[16:40] <Parsec300> I think you have to invoke the command again with --force at the end
[16:40] <cached> fritz: that might be a bit of a problem. can you be more specific
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Ximal: I think you are asking for problems...  I dont care for wine in genral.. but ask in winehq on how to upgrade
[16:40] <cached> ^ignore that
[16:40] <cached> sorry
[16:41] <Ximal> Jack I am adding it now ... hehe.. I found out how .. it has a tutorial on the website ..
[16:41] <xLE> whats the xgl package?
[16:41] <Jack_Sparrow> rich__: SInce you switched drives and it still did not work.. are you putting them into the same enclosure.?
[16:41] <rich__> do no external hard discs that are new work with linux?
[16:42] <Jack_Sparrow> rich__: Virtually they all work
[16:42] <rich__> its a WD passport, custom made one
[16:42] <Parsec300> Sorry, my bad add -o force
[16:42] <astro76> rich__, sounds like a problem with your system
[16:42] <rich__> yesterday i used a 500GB seagate desktop that didnt work
[16:43] <Parsec300> How about now?
[16:43] <rich__> and now this 250GB WD passport doesnt etiher, they both say device in use or busy., maybe i should try CentOS to see if i can create a filesystem
[16:43] <Jack_Sparrow> rich__: HAve you tried while running livecd?
[16:43] <fritz> Can you type the correct line please, I do not get it.
[16:43] <rich__> when i plug in the disc it says, mount: /devsdb1 already mounted or /media/WD Passport busy
[16:44] <rich__> this is not true when i check with ls or mount
[16:44] <billy> hello
[16:44] <Dr_willis> rich__,  if you have unplugged the device while it was mounted - that can confuse things.
[16:44] <billy> are there any good programs for ubuntu to download entire websites?
[16:44] <Dr_willis> !info httrack
[16:44] <ubotu> httrack: Copy websites to your computer (Offline browser). In component universe, is optional. Version 3.41.23-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 32 kB, installed size 100 kB
[16:44] <billy> thanks
[16:44] <rich__> im going to restart
[16:45] <Dr_willis> There ya go billy  :) it even has a windows port
[16:45] <sung_> eann
[16:45] <truna> rich__, may i suggest removing those unused mount points within /media? then remount the external USB devices
[16:45] <Parsec300> fritz, type 'sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/xxx /media/xxx -o force'
[16:45] <aloril> anybody with 64bit gutsy: can you play http://eat.it.helsinki.fi/mok/mastoirkki.wmv ?
[16:45] <Parsec300> Then 'cd /media/Windows' followed by 'ls'
[16:46] <varsendaggr> hey i started having  problems with my shift key not working while using compiz
[16:47] <fritz> This throws an error
[16:47] <Parsec300> Hmmm.. I'm out of options without actually seeing it.
[16:48] <aloril> hmm.. mplayer doesn't play, but xine plays
[16:48] <Parsec300> I've had bad experiences with mounting NTFS anyways with a friends computer. It crashed the system multiple times
[16:48] <rich__> do i need to recompile the kernel with new usb disc support?
[16:48] <WorkingOnWise> Parsec300: fritz forgive the late-comer question. fritz, are u replacing the xxx with the correct info, or are u using xxx in your command?
[16:49] <Parsec300> Try moving your data and repartition the NTFS to be ext3
[16:49] <qbert> Anyone know of a good voice recognition API for linux ?
[16:50] <WorkingOnWise> qbert:  afaik, there is nothing yet that compares to the Windows worlt, but there are a few projects. Look into festival ans speex
[16:50] <Matir> Anyone know of a simple video editor?
[16:50] <fritz> If I had another computer to do that ... I guess I'll keep rolling it back and see what I may have done wrong.
[16:50] <WorkingOnWise> ans=and
[16:51] <qbert> WorkingOnWise, thanks
[16:51] <Parsec300> How much space is the data and how much space do you have free?
[16:51] <WorkingOnWise> qbert: yw :)
[16:52] <rich__> im not mounting it, im trying to create ext3 or xfs FS on the disc
[16:52] <fritz> How do I unhook it by force? It seems to me that the disk manager from within ubuntu is giving it a hook it should not take?
[16:52] <larson999> i heard tales of running dragon dictate on wine but i haven't given it a try.
[16:52] <Parsec300> It's possible to resize the NTFS partition.
[16:52] <Parsec300> Try one more thing. Type 'cd ..' then cd /Windows
[16:52] <Parsec300> and ls again
[16:53] <Amerio> no loading bar in ubuntu , just black screen and it take ages to get into the Login screen , any help?
[16:53] <WorkingOnWise> larson999 as much of a fan of wine as I am, I never considered using it for ASR...hmmmm
[16:53] <slipttees> yo...i heve some problem with ubuntu 7.10 in dell vostro 1500 idon't have sound

[16:54] <iblicf> hi,everybody , how to BATCH install ubuntu with 25 PC's :) , hardware completly alike ? :)
[16:54] <larson999> WorkingOnWise, i'm not a fan of wine yet.  give it another 10 years :)  but i had a handicapped friend who used dragon dictate.  not having a solution in linux kept him on windows.
[16:54] <Jack_Sparrow> iblicf: clone the drives with dd
[16:54] <slipttees> please..everyone ?
[16:54] <fritz> now I get 'cdrom cdrom0 Windows'
[16:54] <Jowi> Amerio, turn off the framebuffer. you will see text scroll by instead of the bar. see if you get any error messages or see which service is slow to start. if everything looks ok, set the frame buffer resolution in GRUB as in the link I advised earlier.
[16:55] <Parsec300> fritz, cd Windows
[16:55] <Parsec300> ls
[16:55] <hello_> Hello :) Is it possible to reinstall Nautilus without having to format everything?
[16:55] <iblicf> Jack_Sparrow,  o ..that's i t , ..
[16:55] <Dr_willis> hello_,  why do you want to reinstall nautilus?
[16:55] <Parsec300> I gotta go in a minute
[16:55] <Jack_Sparrow> iblicf: Thats the easy way... one of them
[16:55] <atoponce> hello_: yes it is
[16:55] <slipttees> somewhere have dell vostro 1500 ?
[16:56] <Jack_Sparrow> iblicf: Ubuntu does not have the copy protection which is what keeps you from doing it with windows
[16:56] <fritz> I am in 'Windows'
[16:56] <slipttees> i have bit problem with me sound!
[16:56] <Parsec300> type ls

[16:56] <slipttees> don't work nothing!
[16:56] <slipttees> :S
[16:56] <WorkingOnWise> larson999 wine is good enough that it is able to run my only deal breaker app, SketchUp, finally. I love wine for that! But it does hurt that theres no good ASR for linux. I see that IBM is involved again somehow with their viavoice, but havent looked into it yet.
[16:56] <x_zeuss> how do i make vlc act in firefox like win media player for sites with video streaming that require media player?
[16:56] <Jack_Sparrow> iblicf: Even if there are some differences with the hardware, you can still do it and it will or should auto detect.. at worst you have to reconfig xorg
[16:56] <hello_> Dr_willis: Nautilus seems to always be freezing up when I play music; I'm having to type "killall nautilus" in the terminal once every several minutes after I've listened to music for a while. My previous installation of Gutsy didn't do this, so I just want to see if reinstalling helps things
[16:56] <murf3326> slipttees: try this link and look for a post by twizler http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-543793.html
[16:57] <fritz> yup, it gives the answer (nice and green) 'cdrom cdrom0 Windows'
[16:57] <slipttees> murf3326: for god....thx so much kisses :D
[16:57] <murf3326> slipttees: no problem.. good luck.
[16:57] <Parsec300> what if you typed cd Windows?
[16:57] <Parsec300> Nothing?
[16:57] <iblicf> jack-desktop,  first install one , then , ... insert another hdisk , but that disk not been format yet ?
[16:57] <Dr_willis> hello_,  'reinstalling' is windows thinking.. try making a new user. see if it affects them also.. if it does not affect them. then its somthing to do with your gnome users settings.
[16:57] <larson999> WorkingOnWise, i don't have anything against wine.  just think i don't want to muck around trying to keep running windows apps :)
[16:57] <tbuss> i've just installed gutsy and ff keeps crashing. there is no error message or anything. could a plug-in cause this behavior
[16:58] <x_zeuss> how do i make vlc act in firefox like win media player for sites with video streaming that require media player?
[16:58] <iblicf> jack-desktop, isee , do not need format
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> iblicf:   Let me link cloning help for you...
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone
[16:58] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[16:58] <fritz> sorry, I typed cd Windows and now ls is not giving anything again
[16:58] <Parsec300> Sorry, maybe astro76 can help you further
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> iblicf: You can also type man dd      are the drives all the same size?
[16:59] <Parsec300> to unmount type 'umount /media/Windows' Perhaps there is a force option aswell
[16:59] <Parsec300> Yeah -f to force unmount
[16:59] <Parsec300> Gotta go
[16:59] <x_zeuss> anyone?
[16:59] <tbuss> what do I type at the terminal to display error output of an app. firefox will not load
[16:59] <iblicf> jack-desktop, the same size , but there have windows installed , dont's wanna delete
[16:59] <varsendaggr> how do i stop compiz in a session
[17:00] <x_zeuss> i have sites that require win media player. in linux there is no media player. how do i make vlc in mozilla act as media player for video streamings?
[17:00] <rich__> any ideas how i can check what is happenin with the disc and where the problem lies?
[17:01] <Parsec300> Too bad I wasn't able to help.
[17:01] <Parsec300> Later ppl
[17:01] <Jowi> x_zeuss, I know "mozilla-mplayer" works pretty good. no idea if VLC's got a plugin for it.
[17:01] <WorkingOnWise> later
[17:01] <Dr_willis> I use mozilla-mplayer mainly also.
[17:01] <Jowi> s/good/well
[17:01] <danbhfive> x_zeuss try sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc
[17:01] <iblicf> jack-desktop,  maybe totally dd whole disk , but ...:) 160G
[17:02] <tbuss> what do I type at the terminal to start firefox and print errors
[17:02] <x_zeuss> Jowi: mplayer doesn't play them
[17:02] <WorkingOnWise> iblicf: are all the diskc the exact same size?
[17:02] <x_zeuss> Jowi: i installed xine, it playes some videos but not all of them
[17:02] <iblicf> WorkingOnWise,  yes
[17:02] <kbrosnan> tbuss: firefox if that does not do anything then something is wrong wtih your install
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> iblicf: Sorry, I was busy elsewhere..   Are you trying to copy windows as well?
[17:03] <tbuss> kbrosnan: could a plug-in cause the error?
[17:03] <Jowi> x_zeuss, yeah, some wmv9 is not possible to play on linux system yet.
[17:03] <Strangework> Does anyone here know how I may install the Linux binary of Unreal Tournament?
[17:03] <iblicf> jack-desktop, thanks very much :)
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[17:03] <danbhfive> tbuss just run firefox from the commandline, doesnt that give you the error?
[17:04] <Jack_Sparrow> iblicf: I was trying to find a link I had for dd...  give me one more minute
[17:04] <x_zeuss> and is there any solutions for thoese?
[17:04] <Jowi> x_zeuss, "file filename.wmv" and see which codec it use.
[17:04] <tbuss> danbhfive, what do I type to show error details?
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> iblicf: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dd                    let me know what you think of this option
[17:05] <WorkingOnWise> iblicf: i did it this way in the past. set up one machine, with everything set up as needed, all codec, filters, plugins, everything. took that disk out, stuck it into a usb enclusure, and then dd'd that drive to all the other machines. I would boot the live cd on a machine, plug in the usb drive, go to a terminal, start the dd, and have coffee.
[17:05] <iblicf> Jack_Sparrow,  ok , i think , maybe there is only way ... completely dd
[17:05] <regeya> I have learned a valuable lesson this week:  the state of wireless in linux is deplorable.  Shame on all these hardware companies.
[17:05] <danbhfive> tbuss oh, nvm, i dont know
[17:05] <WorkingOnWise> iblicf: go the the next machine, more coffee...
[17:05] <danbhfive> tbuss maybe you should check your install to see if it is ok

[17:06] <WorkingOnWise> iblicf: I only did 9 machine. If I had more, I would have installed 4 drives into one machine and tried to do 4 at once.
[17:06] <fritz> I unmounted and now I have it mounted to media/windows. However I get the owner 'root' and do not have access permission (even though I am admin). If I type cd Windows it is access denied
[17:06] <x_zeuss> firefox keeps breaking down everytime i launch a site
[17:06] <x_zeuss> wtf?
[17:07] <Strangework> ajmal, I would think the command would be sudo apt-get install mplyer
[17:07] <Strangework> ajmal, *sudo apt-get install mplayer
[17:07] <tbuss> x_zeuss,  same problem, I haven't had any luck

[17:08] <x_zeuss> WorkingOnWise: i try to visit a site, any site, and after it loads it just exits firefox
[17:08] <danbhfive> ajmal turn off synaptic ??
[17:08] <x_zeuss> WorkingOnWise: it closes with no warning
[17:08] <tbuss> danbhfive,  ok thanks for your help
[17:09] <Odd-rationale> ajmal: make sure that you have all other synaptic, updates, etc. finished and closed.

[17:15] <WorkingOnWise> tbuss: I'm on the same ver and it's stable. I would do safemode then, and remove whatever is left over from that plugin

[17:16] <Odd-rationale> robdeman: There is a way. Let me find it.
[17:16] <ompaul> !audio | white_eagle
[17:16] <ubotu> white_eagle: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[17:18] <ompaul> !packages > ajmal (please read the info from the bot)
[17:18] <tbuss> Jack_Sparrow: I could not give specific address, ff would not stay open long enough. The problem was a rhapsody plugin that I have since removed and now ff works, thanks for your help

[17:20] <Dr_willis> Detcennoc,  ive seen windows lie about the connection speed/rates befor.
[17:20] <riddlebox> PriceChild, it is sooo slow for me, I cant even get the main page to come up
[17:20] <Dr_willis> Detcennoc,  some people claim the ipv6 stuff can make  ubuntu a little sluggish. but ive never noticed it.

[17:23] <whitehat> Eyemean: not a firewall issue
[17:24] <Eyemean> whitehal, sorry, hahaha
[17:24] <Detcennoc> Jack_Sparrow; I'm not sure, what command tells me?
[17:24] <whitehat> something to do with dbus
[17:24] <Dr_willis> Detcennoc,  that does sound like an ipv6, or dns lookup issue
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Detcennoc: lspci

[17:25] <ubotu> robdeman: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Detcennoc: I wont have an answer, just want to make note in case that is an issue
[17:25] <robdeman> hey all, my Putty / remote shell is acting weird. When I hit 'tab' I get actually a tab and it does not expand the commandline as I expected it ... you know? you enter /et hit TAB and then it says /etc/
[17:25] <elder> Ive installed a package (Quake II) using Synaptic package manager. Where would i find it now to open and play?

[17:26] <robdeman> Putty works normally on other Ubuntu boxes
[17:26] <simNIX> robdeman; waht login shel does it uses ? -> maybe /bin/sh instead of /bash
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Dr_willis: what if he manually types in the ip of a site he thinks loads slowly and sees if there is a difference
[17:26] <robdeman> simNIX: How can I tell?
[17:27] <simNIX> cat /etc/passwd!grep (usernameyouloginas)
[17:27] <Amerio> Jack_Sparrow have any idea about FrameBuffer?
[17:27] <simNIX> line should end /bin/bash or alike
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Detcennoc: Did you have to use fwcutter or ndiswrapper to get that going?
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Amerio: nope
[17:27] <rich__> im thinking about upgrading to windows vista so that i can use external hard discs. any advice?

[17:30] <joanki> sorry
[17:30] <Slart> rich__: well.. I guess.. find out what version of vista you need.. ask some windows people for advice.. and backup your files before installing it.. that's as good advice as you're going to get here about upgrading to vista

[17:32] <Odd-rationale> joanki: OK.
[17:33] <Slart> Wolf23: when I used it you just unpacked it and ran the application right away... no compiling.. no extra libs needed.. just doubleclick
[17:33] <simNIX> jandeman then edit /etc/passwd and chacge line to en to /bin/bash insted of /bin/sh -> only do this on line that starts with name you ssh login as
[17:33] <Anderson> How do I make Java work on firefox?
[17:33] <simNIX> to end
[17:34] <brobostigon> anderson: i dont have java in firefox, i have a mac
[17:34] <Odd-rationale> Anderson: Try "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin"
[17:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !java
[17:34] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[17:34] <WorkingOnWise> Jack_Sparrow: did I miss something with rich? It sounds like he has a hardware problem but cant or wont conceed to that possibility and let us help further?
[17:34] <Wolf23> Slart:  i have amd64, and i want from you to help me and give the installer plz
[17:34] <ompaul> rich__, you are not doing it right - or your hardware does not support it
[17:34] <Amerio> does anybody know why I get a black screen instead of Ubuntu Loading progress bar before the login screen?
[17:34] <rich__> jack, direct onto my laptop
[17:34] <rich__> ompaul, i am doing it correctly
[17:34] <Anderson> Odd-rationale, didn't come up on apt-cache search
[17:34] <robdeman> simNIX: Hey I fixed it using Webmin -- thanks for helping me to find the source o fthe problem :)
[17:35] <Odd-rationale> Anderson: Do you have multiverse repos?
[17:35] <rich__> i have several discs, there is something that is preventing these new cases from operating with the OS correctly
[17:35] <elder> Amerio : I got the same screen just wait a minute or 2 and it will appear with login screen
[17:35] <Jack_Sparrow> WorkingOnWise: It is a hardware issue.. nothing to do with ubuntu
[17:35] <simNIX> robdeman; gladely shared knowledge I learned for free - )
[17:35] <rich__> it works in windows, it is not hardware issue
[17:35] <Slart> Wolf23: hang on.. I'll see if it's still available.. I run amd64 too
[17:35] <WorkingOnWise> Jack_Sparrow: so I am up to speed. :)
[17:35] <ompaul> rich__, do this please >>> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep  model  <<<  and tell us what it is you see there?
[17:36] <Odd-rationale> !multiverse | Anderson
[17:36] <Anderson> Odd-rationale, probably commented, I'll check
[17:36] <ubotu> Anderson: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[17:36] <Wolf23> Slart:  ok thanx
[17:36] <Amerio> elder: but thats not normal , usually the progress bar before the login screen should always appear
[17:36] <solomon> i just wanted to verify -- if i want to do a software raid0 with xubuntu gutsy, i need to use the alernate cd, and i need to make a /boot that's non-raid or raid1, right?
[17:36] <robdeman> :)
[17:37] <Amerio> elder: and its very slow , I need 2 wait like 1 Minute , before that I had to wait for 15 or 20 seconds 2 get into the login screen
[17:37] <Jack_Sparrow> rich__: That is the point I was trying to make earlier..  The enclosures you selected require a driver ....  Most likely available in windows  What type of enclosure are you using
[17:37] <Slart> solomon: I'm not sure here.. other people might know more but afaik you can't install directly to a raid.. all the howto's I've seen makes you do the install first and then convert the root drive to raid
[17:37] <rich__> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50403/
[17:37] <solomon> Slart: hm, i installed feisty to a raid using the alt. install
[17:37] <rich__> WD passport
[17:37] <Odd-rationale> Anderson: Be sure to do "sudo aptitude update" after editing your sources.lst.
[17:37] <Nobuyuki`> good morning and happy new year all
[17:38] <Odd-rationale> Nobuyuki`: Happy new year!
[17:38] <Amerio> does anybody know why I get a black screen instead of Ubuntu Loading progress bar before the login screen?
[17:38] <elder> Amerio: well i am a new user to ubuntu, perhaps i just assumed it to be normal. Im not qiute sure then, but my OS seems to run fine.
[17:38] <Nobuyuki`> a quick question from a new linux user:  If I add a script to /etc/init.d/  will it automatically execute on each bootup?
[17:38] <Slart> solomon: oh?.. sweet.. I haven't used the alternate install..doesn't xubuntu have an alternate install you can use?
[17:38] <brobostigon> Nobuyuki`: good afternoon and happy new year
[17:38] <Nobuyuki`> I want to add something to execute some output from iptables-save so I don't keep losing my internet connection sharing
[17:38] <Amerio> elder: yeah it runs fine but there is sth wrong with the frame buffer , u run 2 OS right?
[17:38] <solomon> Slart: yup.  i have just typically done raid5, which grub can't install to.. i wanted to make sure grub also doesn't do raid0
[17:39] <elder> Amerio: 2 OS?
[17:39] <Amerio> elder: two operating system or ur just running ubuntu?
[17:39] <Slart> solomon: oh.. well.. keep asking.. someone must know
[17:40] <ompaul> rich__, can you do lsusb and paste that output please
[17:40] <elder> Amerio: On this comp ubuntu.. on the rest of the household is all currently XP pro.
[17:40] <Detcennoc> how do I clean a CD-RW in ubuntu?
[17:40] <ompaul> rich__, in the pastebin ;-)
[17:40] <eXeCuTe> hey, is it possible to upload files from some directory to an sshfs mount point as they change ?
[17:40] <solomon> Slart: if i don't get confirmation i'll just assume i've got to make a non-raid /boot... or maybe i'll make it a raid1 so i can boot like 2 seconds faster :P
[17:40] <Amerio> elder: because it was running normally but after installing vista the progress bar disappeared

[17:43] <elder> Amerio: lol it's similar to such, why have you disabled it though?
[17:43] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: how do i do that ??
[17:44] <Odd-rationale> Drixx: Go to System -> Pref -> Appearance. On the Visual effects tab, select none
[17:44] <Amerio> elder : 2 check if there are any errors , disabled it temporarly
[17:44] <ompaul> rich__, actually do the two of these > sudo fdisk -l < and >df <
[17:44] <elder> Amerio: but you've re-enabled correct?

[17:46] <rich__> crap, it works in centos, but it doesnt support XFS as its the live CD, issue resolved. Its the kernel after all!
[17:46] <elder> Ive installed a package (Quake II) using Synaptic package manager. Where would i find it now to open and play?
[17:46] <Amerio> elder: at least u have a progress bar , I get a black screen until I get into login screen
[17:47] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: i thought it was coz of my graphics card .. so i disabled compiz .. but still it hangs ...

[17:47] <Odd-rationale> Drixx: Have no idea. Have the right codecs?

[17:49] <simmerz> is it possible to copy a windows install from one drive to another partition on another drive using the ubuntu cd? do i need to use dd or cp?
[17:49] <Amerio> elder : without the run

[17:50] <elder> Amerio: Command not found.
[17:50] <Amerio> elder: r u sure u've installed the game?
[17:50] <elder> Bash: Quake: command not found
[17:50] <FrostRat> how about running "sudo updatedb" and then "locate quake" to find out where it is?
[17:51] <sarthor> need a way to get know about my remote linux router IP. any help??
[17:51] <elder> Amerio: ive installed the package under Synaptic Package Manager, it came with ubuntu i would assume.
[17:51] <Slart> Wolf23: hmm... I can't find it any more.. they might have removed it when the linux flash 9 player was officially released
[17:51] <Nobuyuki`> sarthor:  on your linux box type "ifconfig" in the terminal
[17:51] <elder> Amerio: would i need to get an iso from an online source? or require the install disc itself?
[17:51] <Amerio> eldeR: using synaptic package manager? ok again open synaptic and search for quake2 , read the discription , do u think its a game?
[17:51] <loudnlownoma> elder: I'm getting it from Synaptic now to check...  Saw it a little while back and thought about picking it up, now I have a reason.  :)
[17:52] <elder> Amerio: i know its a game (FPS) and it says it is installed
[17:52] <Wolf23> Slart:  huh.... oh no
[17:52] <elder> Amerio: Green box next to it.
[17:52] <javialquim> Does anyone have any experience loading a usb camera with Gutsy?
[17:52] <Amerio> elder: have no idea
[17:52] <Slart> Wolf23: or.. wait.. this looks good.. try this one http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/flash_player_9_linux_dev.tar.gz
[17:52] <javialquim> I loaded the gspca drivers
[17:53] <sarthor> Nobuyuki`, if the server is away from here. and i want to now.every time for this server ip.
[17:53] <javialquim> and tried using camorama
[17:53] <Amerio> brb .. coffee break
[17:53] <Nobuyuki`> whew, well I'm new so I'm just learning this stuff too.  I'm trying to set up a home router right now myself ;)
[17:53] <elder> Amerio : Thank you anyway. i think ill second that break.
[17:54] <javialquim> My usb camera is detected (by dmesg)
[17:54] <teester> !enter | javialquim
[17:54] <ubotu> javialquim: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[17:54] <javialquim> but it doesn't create the /dev/video0 that camorama is looking for
[17:54] <Drainman> elder: you know that its the engine not the game right?
[17:54] <Wolf23> Slart:  after done, how can i install it? coz i am newbie friend, sorry
[17:54] <Slart> Wolf23: yes.. that was the one.. download that file and look in the folder "standalone".. there should be one single file called "flashplayer".. just run that by doubleclicking it
[17:55] <Slart> Wolf23: nothing to be sorry for.. double click on the file.. it should open in file-roller or sometihng similar
[17:55] <Wolf23> Slart:  ok thanx i try :))
[17:56] <loudnlownoma> Drainman: That's what I was just looking at.  Looks like the quake2-data is just an installer to pull the data from the CD or whatever to load for the game engine, basically allowing you to run in natively, but you have to have the CD or data files from somewhere else
[17:56] <ompaul> rich__, one thing you can test is just moving it from one usb slot to another
[17:57] <javialquim> Yes, I tried moving it to another USB slot.  It is detected fine, it is the fact that it seems not to mount.   Happy New year, everyone. Looking forward for a great year with Ubuntu!
[17:58] <ader10> How do I make conky a widget in compiz?
[17:58] <ader10> I tried putting class=conky in the widget layer but pressing F9 does nothing

[18:01] <wigliam> hi to everybody
[18:01] <Amerio> does anybody know why I get a black screen instead of Ubuntu Loading progress bar before the login screen?
[18:01] <Slart> Wolf23: yes.. that's the player.. doubleclick that file.. another window should open with just a single flashplayer file in it
[18:01] <Slart> Wolf23: drag that file to your desktop or something.. then double click on it
[18:02] <FrostRat> Amerio: I get the black screen, too... after upgrading to Gutsy.  You can fix it by modifying the resolution by hand, from what I've read
[18:02] <Wolf23> Slart:  yes it shows a dialog, and then what can i do, or how i open the .fla file?
[18:02] <MenZa> hello, wigliam
[18:02] <julienb> could someone help me configure my wifi card and connection ? im lost trying to configure it with ndiswrapper
[18:02] <matux> thanks
[18:02] <FrostRat> Amerio: haven't tried it myself yet, though... I don't mind the black screen. :D  I only reboot once a month or so.
[18:02] <brobostigon> wolf23:try vlc
[18:02] <Slart> Wolf23: did you double-click that file? so you've got a new window up now? with a text area marked url?
[18:03] <wigliam> hi

[18:03] <javialquim> sarthor:  on the lan side your router shouls always be static
[18:03] <Brian`> hello, i have a question about twinview on nvidia
[18:03] <rich__> i mean, 2.6.22
[18:04] <Wolf23> Slart:  and application : wine %f

[18:04] <Brian`> when i set to use twinview, i can only have 640x480 resolution on the second monitor
[18:04] <Amerio> misterblonde2517: it supposed 2 be in the restricted drivers
[18:04] <sarthor> javialquim, i am asking about he WAN
[18:04] <sarthor> how to know about that Live IP.
[18:05] <Scunizi> Brian`: have you tried to edit xorg by hand?
[18:05] <sarthor> javialquim, :how to know about that Live IP.
[18:05] <crdlb> ader10: use iclass (case-insensitive)
[18:05] <penguinguy1234> Does anyone know how to decompile a Macromedia Projector EXE (windows) to swf?
[18:05] <ader10> crdlb: Could you give me an example of how to use it
[18:05] <^BucketHead^> hi, im using 5.10 breezy. But i cannot install anything using my Package Manager.. Apparently it seems that the Breezy repos are all unavailable
[18:05] <crdlb> ader10: iclass=conky
[18:06] <Scunizi> ^BucketHead^: yep.. time to upgrade
[18:06] <ader10> crdlb: I'll try it
[18:06] <beerfan> what's the safest way to install binary installers (like vmware)?
[18:06] <^BucketHead^> Scunizi, How do i upgrade ?
[18:07] <ompaul> ^BucketHead^, you get a new CD for gutsy and use that
[18:07] <ompaul> ^BucketHead^, backup your home directory first
[18:07] <^BucketHead^> ompaul, damn..isn't there anyway to install few stuffs right now , like gcc and amsn ?
[18:07] <John_R> buskethead: try the live cd first, make sure gutsy likes your hardware
[18:07] <ompaul> ^BucketHead^, no
[18:07] <^BucketHead^> ompaul, in my breezy
[18:07] <murf3326> Not entirely an Unbuntu question but... is there a script or command in xchat that will copy text to a seperate window whenever someone types a line with my nick in it.  Just so I don't miss it as it scrolls by in the channel window.
[18:08] <julienb> could someone help me configure my wifi card and connection ? im lost trying to configure it with ndiswrapper... im on a modified mandriva kernel cause of my hardware
[18:08] <John_R> buckethead: if you are still using 5.1, you might not mind a stable version. 7.04 might be the ticket
[18:08] <Sharpie> is there any way to make the aMSN fonts look...less bad?
[18:08] <Scunizi> ^BucketHead^: from your version there's no easy method.  Backup your data from the /home directory, reformat and reinstall.  When reinstalling it's a good idea to create a seperate partition just for /home.  It makes upgrading easier in the future.  Download and burn the latest ISO and go for it..
[18:08] <ompaul> ^BucketHead^,  support for it lasted 18 months from date of issue
[18:08] <striphe> noob question: When I attempt to install audacious from the package manager i get a not installable message
[18:08] <ompaul> ^BucketHead^,  18 months from 5.10
[18:08] <striphe> also, my input for this bounces in pidgin
[18:09] <Drixx> Odd-rationale: thnx dude ....
[18:09] <Amerio> how do I re-INSTALL the Grub?
[18:09] <^BucketHead^> ompaul, damn.. so it seems im stuck until i get a gutsy CD :S
[18:09] <ompaul> !grub | Amerio
[18:09] <ubotu> Amerio: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[18:10] <Amerio> ompaul: thanx
[18:10] <striphe>  noob question: When I attempt to install audacious from the package manager i get a not installable message
[18:11] <loudnlownoma> Is there any way to continue using my dial-up connection once I connect the Ethernet cable to my local network?  This seems to kill the dial-up until the ethernet is disconnected again...
[18:11] <julienb> linux for human beings seems to be a dream right now cause of manufacturers not making linux drivers...
[18:11] <John_R> ^BucketHead^ : http://bea.cabarel.com/modules/PunBB/viewtopic.php?id=314
[18:12] <John_R> new breezey repo
[18:12] <Scunizi> loudnlownoma: you gotta choose one or the other.. why would you want both connected?
[18:12] <beerfan> is there any concern with installing binaries in / without package management?
[18:12] <ompaul> ^BucketHead^, however it is not supported by here or canonical
[18:12] <Praveen_> hello
[18:12] <Praveen_> any one can help me to install ubuntu in my system
[18:13] <John_R> yeah, no support :( if what already exists works good, there is no reason to upgrade. you should really consider moving to feisty though
[18:13] <loudnlownoma> Scunizi: I use a dial-up connection(from my cell phone) to connect to the Internet.  Only option where I'm at, unless I want to pay ridiculous prices for satellite connection...  But, I have a few other computers in the house, and would like to be able to leave the Ethernet connected to share files, etc. while I'm connected to the Internet.
[18:13] <Amerio> ompaul: i've already read those guides , I lost my ubuntu progress bar and Im getting black screen after choosing ubuntu to boot from
[18:13] <beerfan> does anyone know why the vmware package in the repos wouldn't install on core2 duo?
[18:13] <ompaul> John_R, support for that dies in less than 12 months
[18:14] <WorkingOnWise> ops, PlayIP is a spam bot. Wanna kick it?
[18:14] <John_R> yeah, but by then hardy will be out
[18:14] <theAdib> I have Problems with my ATI X300 on the Dell D610  and dual monitor setup. Anyone has a working xorg.conf?
[18:14] <John_R> and its LTS
[18:14] <ompaul> !test
[18:14] <ubotu> Failed.
[18:14] <ompaul> %test
[18:14] <John_R> the reason to move to feisty would just be training for hardy
[18:14] <Scunizi> loudnlownoma: ah.. ok.. what you're asking is basically internet connection sharing (ICS).  It's dooable but unfortunatly I don't know how.
[18:14] <ompaul> John_R, as would gutsy
[18:14] <wigliam> is true that with ati mobility radeon (integrated) on 7.1 cannot ibernate or suspend?
[18:14] <penguinguy1234> !test
[18:14] <penguinguy1234> hjk
[18:14] <ompaul> penguinguy1234, ?
[18:15] <loudnlownoma> I don't want to really share them....unless that same term is different here than Windows.
[18:15] <chazco> Is anyone else getting spammed on IRC by "PlayIP"?
[18:15] <John_R> feisty has been out longer, has more updates. more stable IMO than gutsy
[18:16] <loudnlownoma> Scunizi: This is the only computer I am worried about being online, I just want to be able to access the other PC's while I am.  Without having to disconnect the ethernet and reset my dial-up to get back online
[18:16] <Dave2> chazco, <-- PlayIP<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has quit (K-lined)
[18:16] <Scunizi> loudnlownoma: you should ask the room again mentioning ICS and the fact you'd like to keep the internet connection locked to the host machine on the network.
[18:16] <chazco> Ah, missed that... i guess they were then
[18:16] <chazco> Is there an approved way of making deb's with mime assosiations?
[18:16] <loudnlownoma> Scunizi: k, Thanks!
[18:17] <ompaul> chazco, they are gone
[18:17] <norv> how can I install mouse cursors on a local or user basis?
[18:17] <norv> I can only add things to /usr/share/icons, as of now
[18:17] <chazco> ompaul - you mean the spammers or the mime type system?
[18:17] <emma> It's telling me that firefox is running but it's not anywhere to be found. How can I kill all firefox processes from terminal?
[18:17] <loudnlownoma> Anyone here that can help with ICS and keeping the internet connection locked to the host machine on the network?
[18:18] <ompaul> chazco, spammers
[18:18] <sadaiyappan> Hi.
[18:18] <chazco> ok
[18:18] <beerfan> emma: run "ps aux" and look for firefox-bin and then "kill -9 num" of that proc
[18:18] <wigliam> norv: use art gnome, download and then install with the default mod tool
[18:19] <Scunizi> With a count of over 1200 users in this room I wonder how many nicks are actually ghosts
[18:19] <wigliam> @julienb: didn't need anydriver for my wifi card, just set the wap key
[18:20] <wigliam> @scunizi: why these ghosts?
[18:20] <chazco> Can anyone tell me the best place to go to ask questions about creating .deb's (not for the repos though)?
[18:20] <norv> wigliam: thanks, never heard of that. if that doesn't work, like 2 other apps I've tried, I'll just link th one in /usr/local/share/icons to /usr/share/icons/default
[18:21] <goldphish> I'm trying to rebuild linux-ubuntu-modules. Seems like everything built fine but the modules were apparently built for the wrong kernel. How do I specify which kernel to build against?
[18:21] <Scunizi> wigliam.. just wondering. when I logged on this morning my nick had to be ghosted to get control of it.  Just wondering how many other nicks are really just stuck in never never land.
[18:21] <jdh6403> hello everyone
[18:21] <jdh6403> brand new ubuntu user here
[18:21] <John_R> welcome, jdh6403
[18:22] <jdh6403> tyty
[18:22] <Scunizi> jdh6403: hi from all 1200 of us in here.
[18:22] <loudnlownoma> jdh6403: welcome!
[18:22] <norv> wigliam: I don't think gnome-art is what I'm looking for, I need to install just existing directories
[18:22] <norv> wigliam: be nice if there was an icons.conf or something where I could set the search path
[18:23] <jdh6403> i like ubuntu....but i find running firefox in wine is easier for flash and embedded video....anyone else find this out too?
[18:23] <norv> jdh6403: maybe if you were using 64 bit or something
[18:23] <John_R> jdh6403: what version?
[18:23] <jdh6403> id like to just use firefox without using wine...but my fave sites are flash heavy
[18:23] <emma> it's not working. When I click on the firefox icon it tells me that i cannot start firefox because it's not responding and already running, i must either restart or else terminate the firefox process
[18:23] <jdh6403> i am using 32 bit
[18:23] <beerfan> jdh6403: you just need to install flash9 in ubuntu. Running firefox in wine seems silly
[18:24] <John_R> jdh6403: what ubuntu version? 7.04? 7.1?
[18:24] <jdh6403> flash9?   is that on synaptic?
[18:24] <Scunizi> beerfan: he's new to ubuntu.. tell him how to do it.
[18:24] <norv> I used Icecat because it lets me run a firefo 2.0 along with 3.0.. is there a better way?
[18:24] <jdh6403> the newest version  feisty fawn
[18:24] <norv> *firefox
[18:24] <John_R> cool, feisty rocks
[18:24] <beerfan> yes. install "flash-plugin-nonfree" (something like that...don't think that's the exact name
[18:24] <emma> any ideas how i can make firefox work again?
[18:24] <maybeway36> i don't think that works anymore tho
[18:25] <Scunizi> jdh6403: sorry... feisty is good but not the newest version.. that's Gutsy
[18:25] <emma> without restarting?
[18:25] <maybeway36> the flash
[18:25] <jdh6403> ok   i tried that and it didnt work
[18:25] <John_R> flash works great on firefox under feisty, and video sites too
[18:25] <maybeway36> ok
[18:25] <John_R> hold on ill check and get you the exact pkg names
[18:25] <jdh6403> that flash plugin nonfree doesnt work
[18:25] <chazco> Note the channel topic if you're struggling to install Flash
[18:25] <Wolf23> brobostigon:  i try vlc and cannot open .swf
[18:25] <chazco> You can manually install it from adobe.com if you really need it, but probably best to wait for the deb to be fixed
[18:25] <jdh6403> ty chazco
[18:25] <beerfan> jdh6403: oh, right. There's a bug with it right now. That's a rare thing. I forgot about that.
[18:25] <Lunar_Lamp> How do I add items to my menu that have installed without them?
[18:26] <jdh6403> it isnt a big thing
[18:26] <emma> I keep getting this message: Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window you must terminate the existing process or restart your system.
[18:26] <jdh6403> thats why i am using firefox in wine for the time being
[18:26] <MatBoy> is there anything to do about the speed of the NL archive servers ?
[18:26] <MatBoy> man how slow
[18:26] <beerfan> you can just copy the flashplugin file to ~/.mozilla/plugins and it will work
[18:26] <emma> Any ideas? Once this happened and someone in here knew what to type.
[18:26] <Lunar_Lamp> emma, try "killall firefox-bin"
[18:26] <loudnlownoma> Lunar_Lamp: You mean to the Applications menu?
[18:26] <Lunar_Lamp> loudnlownoma, yes.
[18:26] <emma> great idea!
[18:26] <Scunizi> emma: the fastest way to fix that without the terminal is CTRL+Alt+backspace
[18:27] <John_R> jdh6403: flashplugin-nonfree, libflash0c2, libflash-mozplugin, libswfdec0.3, swf-player
[18:27] <wigliam> @lunarlamp just modify your menu in preference/ main menu
[18:27] <loudnlownoma> Lunar_Lamp: System > Preferences > Main Menu.  That will give you the list of the menus, and a New Menu and New Item option to add in your own
[18:27] <John_R> those are the packages i have installed under feisty concerning dlash and i dont have a problem
[18:27] <jdh6403> beerfan   just download the flashplugin  nonfree file and then copy it to that folder?
[18:27] <emma> killall did the trick. I have to remember that one.
[18:27] <emma> Why on earth would that happen anyway?
[18:28] <Lunar_Lamp> loudnlownoma, aah - ok - I missed that completely (I don't use gnome too often)
[18:28] <beerfan> jdh6403: search on your fs for "flashplugin". If it's installed in wine you might find it in there. On my system the file is called "flashplugin-alternative.so" but it might be called different in windows.
[18:28] <norv> wigliam: the problem is there isn't a default tool, it's just.. a directory
[18:28] <John_R> jdh6403: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree libflash0c2 libflash-mozplugin libswfdec0.3 swf-player
[18:28] <norv> wigliam: but i learned "cp" and "ln" is good enough to install them
[18:28] <loudnlownoma> Lunar_Lamp: No worries.  Had to look about for it myself the first time.  :)
[18:29] <jdh6403> john   copy that line into terminal?
[18:29] <John_R> yep
[18:29] <John_R> sudo first
[18:29] <jdh6403> cool
[18:29] <John_R> sudo -s
[18:29] <jdh6403> right
[18:29] <John_R> then you password
[18:30] <ahimaj> hey all
[18:30] <ahimaj> trying to use ekiga
[18:30] <ahimaj> i'm able to place calls to phones via my pc
[18:30] <ahimaj> but what I would like to do is set it up
[18:30] <ahimaj> so that I can place a call to my cell phone, then speak with someone else on another line via my cell phone using my sip provider
[18:30] <ahimaj> so, in essence, forward the call from my pc to my cell phone
[18:30] <loudnlownoma> Anyone here that can help with ICS and keeping the internet connection locked to the host machine on my network?
[18:31] <misterblonde2517> can someone help me use the wget command, it keeps giving me errors that the name or service is not known
[18:31] <wigliam> away
[18:31] <frenkel> misterblonde2517: what did you type in?
[18:32] <jdh6403> oh man  ubuntu is kickin vista's butt IMO
[18:32] <jdh6403> this is nice
[18:32] <misterblonde2517> wget -x <file url>
[18:32] <John_R> does flash work native now?
[18:32] <jdh6403> last time i attempted linux was with an old version of fedora...but this is nice
[18:32] <loudnlownoma> jdh6403: I definitely understand that feeling.  My new PC came with Vista on it and lasted about 3 hours before I was installing Gutsy.  :)
[18:32] <John_R> yeah, ubuntu rocks
[18:33] <ahimaj> anyone familiar with ekiga
[18:33] <Scunizi> jdh6403: careful... you'll be getting addicted pretty quick :)
[18:33] <John_R> my wife used my boxes a ltitle bit, then let me replace vista on her brand new dell laptop with feisty
[18:33] <jdh6403> lol
[18:33] <ahimaj> i'm able to call phone lines via pc
[18:33] <loudnlownoma> lol
[18:33] <annonymouse> does any one know how i can telenet my pc  from another pc  via the internet
[18:33] <ahimaj> want to forward calls to my cell phone
[18:33] <jdh6403> i just hafta figure out how to get my other monitor going   i have installed the nvidia restricted drivers and still do not see a nvidia settings proggy anywhere
[18:34] <John_R> jdh6403: if you want to have some real fun, get vmware server from the vmware site and a free license. you can run xp in a vm, solaris in a vm, and any linux or bsd flavor you want
[18:34] <chazco> jdh6403 - press Alt+F2 and run "nvidia-settings"
[18:34] <Scunizi> ahimaj: forwarding calls to your cell would be a function of ekiga if it will let you do that..
[18:34] <beerfan> jdh6403: you may need to install the binary driver from nvidia's site for that
[18:34] <ahimaj> it doesn't work
[18:34] <ahimaj> scunizi, I enabled call forwarding
[18:34] <ahimaj> when I make a call via pc to a phone
[18:34] <chazco> beerfan - jdh6403 - No need, the ones in restricted has everything you should need
[18:34] <ahimaj> it connects, but doesn't forward the call to my cell
[18:35] <ahimaj> what I want to be able to do is make a call via pc, then have my cell phone ring
[18:35] <ahimaj> when I pick up, I am connected to the person I have dialed via pc
[18:36] <Scunizi> ahimaj: someone will need to call your sip number from another computer to have it forward to your cell.  You cannot make a call and then switch it from the pc to your cell.
[18:36] <Dr_willis> ahimaj,  not seen that done - since way back then.. in the days of dialup and modems. :)
[18:36] <ahimaj> it works for internetcalls.com
[18:36] <ahimaj> they have an interface that does it for you
[18:36] <WorkingOnWise> how do i get my vc's back? I deleted tty3-6 in /etc/event.d . With that done, I had just a blank screen with a cursor in the upper left corner in all vc's, ctrl-alt-f1 thru f6. I recreated tt3-6 using tty2 as a template, and rebooted. still no vc's. still only blank screen with a cursor in the upper left.
[18:36] <ahimaj> I guess ekiga isnt' able to
[18:36] <John_R> jdh6403: did those packages get flash working in ubuntu firefox?
[18:37] <PriceChild> John_R, until the ubuntu packages are fixed, you can use adobe's tar.gz to install
[18:38] <jdh6403> john  it said i already had the latest version installed
[18:38] <WorkingOnWise> how can I search for what package provides a specific file?
[18:38] <jdh6403> and it didnt appear to install anything
[18:38] <Karyom> hello
[18:38] <il3dsm> can someone help me setup a wireless connection on ubuntu server edition?
[18:38] <Karyom> does anybody now, how I end the XServer
[18:39] <Amerio> ok now Ive disabled the splash screen , no black screen anymore , how 2 get the splash screen back?
[18:39] <beerfan> Karyom: try "sudo gdm stop"
[18:39] <John_R> jdh6403: wild
[18:39] <jdh6403> ya john
[18:39] <beerfan> John_R: you know the flashplugin-nonfree package is currently broken right?
[18:40] <jdh6403> i am messing with nvidia settings atm
[18:40] <Karyom> tells me that gdm is already runnin??!
[18:40] <jdh6403> ill brb  it wants me to reboot
[18:40] <ompaul> Karyom, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[18:40] <chazco> jdh6403 - You may need to run it as root for it to work fully
[18:40] <orbisvicis> dpkg-reconfigure can edit configuration files using several frontends. What command configures dpkg-config to change frontends?
[18:40] <beerfan> Karyom: you need to run that from a console. ctrl-alt-f1
[18:40] <Lunar_Lamp> What podcast apps are there out there?
[18:41] <GeirrS> Hi. Anyone familier with Kubunti 7.04 and wlan support? Have some problems with timeouts when I copy large files to the server via WLAN.
[18:41] <amikrop> How do I set mp3 files to open with audacious and not totem?
[18:41] <Dr_willis> Lunar_Lamp,  I use miro to get  my various video-casts.
[18:41] <Karyom> the same?
[18:41] <annonymouse> how can i remotley tellnet my pc
[18:41] <chazco> My motherboard has 3 outputs - mic, line in, line out... they can supposedly be used for 5.1 surround... any ideas?
[18:41] <beerfan> amikrop: try right-clicking and changing the open with
[18:42] <WorkingOnWise> how do i get my vc's back? I deleted tty3-6 in /etc/event.d . With that done, I had just a blank screen with a cursor in the upper left corner in all vc's, ctrl-alt-f1 thru f6. I recreated tt3-6 using tty2 as a template, and rebooted. still no vc's. still only blank screen with a cursor in the upper left.
[18:42] <Karyom> says gdm is already runnin...
[18:42] <amikrop> beerfan: That's not permanent, though.
[18:42] <beerfan> not permanent?
[18:42] <Karyom> I am outside... ctr + alt + f1
[18:43] <Karyom> usually it was just switchin to runlevel 3
[18:43] <beerfan> Karyom: doh...I'm sorry. "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[18:43] <amikrop> beerfan: Yes. I want every mp3 file I have and going to have, to be opened with just a double-click, with audacious.
[18:43] <amikrop> beerfan: Your solution is just for one file, just for once.
[18:43] <Karyom> okay thanks
[18:43] <Jan`> hihi all
[18:43] <Jan`> Does anyone know who Matthew Garrett is?
[18:43] <loudnlownoma> amikrop: Have you tried System > Preferences > Preferred Applications?  The Multimedia tab will let you select the program to use
[18:44] <loudnlownoma> amikrop: But i don't know if that will change it for all multimedia files, or just music
[18:44] <amikrop> loudnlownoma: I have set audacious there, but still no luck.
[18:44] <amikrop> anyway
[18:44] <beerfan> amikrop: you need to go into the properties. Not just use the open with menu option
[18:44] <loudnlownoma> amikrop: D'oh.  That would have been my guess.  Sorry.
[18:45] <amikrop> beerfan, loudnlownoma: ok, thanks guys :-)
[18:45] <monra> I have a huge printing problem. When trying printing from my Debian etch in a HP deskjet printer i get some prints that look like there is no more toner in the printer but when getting from Windows I prinmt just fine and clear documents. Anyone knows why this happend and maybe some ideas to fix it?
[18:45] <michealPW> Hrmm

[18:45] <michealPW> Hrmm
[18:45] <Enselic> sudo lsof   does not give me any output, anyone have any idea why?
[18:45] <WorkingOnWise> how can I search for what package provides a specific file?
[18:45] <loudnlownoma> beerfan: I see what you were saying now....  Does look like that would do it.
[18:46] <Enselic> WorkingOnWise: apt-file
[18:46] <wols> michealPW: stop that
[18:46] <lesshaste_> The only way I can find to turn off "tapping" is using gsynaptics... how do I make sure it is turned off at boot?
[18:46] <Enselic> WorkingOnWise: sudo apt-get apt-file   then  apt-file search some_file
[18:46] <michealPW> I'm running Ubuntu v7.10 now. I've been using Windows XP and 2000 prior, with PuTTy.

[18:47] <michealPW> Could anyone give me some insights?
[18:47] <wols> michealPW: ubuntu cannot do more than windows/putty
[18:47] <Enselic> michealPW: you can create ssh tunnels for loads of things

[18:47] <Wolf23> helpers!! can anyone help me how to open a ,swf file on ubuntu?
[18:47] <alex314> use Firefox
[18:47] <michealPW> Enselic: Could you explain? I'm GNU/Linux newbie, heehee. I've only ever used PuTTY before on Windows.
[18:48] <Enselic> michealPW: yes it can, use Places -> Connec to server
[18:48] <wols> Wolf23: install a flash plugin
[18:48] <WorkingOnWise> Enselic: ty vm.
[18:48]  * alex314 tired

[18:49] <anakin_> wols: yeah. my xorg conf is all borked. i think it'd help if i put in the refresh rates manually
[18:50] <wols> anakin_: answer my question
[18:50] <Wolf23> wols:  ok thanx
[18:50] <monra> michealPW, hm... that can be done with sftp  or scp to move files to a remote computer...
[18:50] <Dr_willis> michealPW,  scp can send files over ssh. :)
[18:50] <Enselic> michealPW: from terminal, use scp
[18:50] <michealPW> Ohh!, thanks guys:)
[18:50] <alex314> Has anyone of you tried using a WiiMote on Gutsy?
[18:51] <michealPW> You guys are great... scp and the Places -> Connect to Server is exactly what I was looking for:)
[18:51] <michealPW> heehee!
[18:51] <Dr_willis> ssh is one of those MUST learn tools.  :) its a regylare swiss-army-uber-knife
