[05:13] <narothepharoh> skwashd first it said i am already a user then i did it for the other one and it said,sudo adduser narothepharoh CD-RW/DVD±RW Drive

[05:13] <jfholeary> bkar: It's asking for my username and password whenever I try to change anything, do I just type in my root password and username?

[05:13] <tritium> fatedkiss: and, indeed, a complete reinstall is usually quite drastic.  I'd first try the apt-get install --reinstall option on some alsa packages that you overwrote packages in.
[05:13] <jfholeary> ....
[05:13] <jfholeary> Never mind I should have read the first page.
[05:13] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: no, read the URL ubotu sent you

[05:14] <fatedkiss> tritium: ill try that i appreciate the help
[05:14] <jfholeary> bkar: okay, thanks.
[05:14] <tritium> fatedkiss: sure.  Good luck.
[05:14] <narothepharoh> skwashd: i did cdrom first and it said i am already a member
[05:15] <edwin> join #merb
[05:15] <tritium> fatedkiss: note that "dpkg -l | grep alsa" will tell you what alsa packages you have installed, and give you a place to start
[05:15] <skwashd> narothepharoh: ls /dev/cdrom -l
[05:16] <techgeek40> <---has now banged head on desktop a few times - anyone got advil?
[05:16] <pabix> Hello everybody. I would like to crop an .eps file; how is this possible?
[05:16] <fatedkiss> tritium: sweet, i just sorta like to chill in here, i like the support. i like to read whats going on learn that way too
[05:16] <jbuncher> techgeek40:  What's the issue?
[05:16] <tritium> fatedkiss: that's a good way to learn :)
[05:16] <narothepharoh> skwashd: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-01-20 21:40 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
[05:16] <narothepharoh> ????
[05:16] <Daworm> Was installing runit so I can get svn up and running (apparently needed the package) but I get this at the end : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52866/ : is that bad??
[05:16] <bod_> fatedkiss: this is the best place to learn
[05:16] <skwashd> narothepharoh: ls -l /dev/hdc
[05:16] <bod_> does anyone no if there is a linux gaming channel?
[05:16] <techgeek40> jbuncher: just wishing there were a way to get some sort of decent desktop for this darn openchrome video card -
[05:17] <aceraxon> I'm new to linux so I'm just trying to soak this up
[05:17] <fatedkiss> tritium, bod, i just wish i new as much about linux as i do windows
[05:17] <genii> bod_: Try #linux-gamers
[05:17] <tritium> fatedkiss: give it time.
[05:17] <bod_> genii: cheers
[05:17] <bod_> fatedkiss: me too m8
[05:17] <jbuncher> pabix:  I haven't found a good way to do it, but I've opened the .eps file in gedit and manually edit the bounding box until I get the boundary I want.
[05:17] <aceraxon> I actually work for Gateway computers and people are so pissed about Vista I figured I should give Linux a go
[05:17] <narothepharoh> skwashd: brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2008-01-20 21:40 /dev/hdc
[05:17] <fatedkiss> tritium: yeah, i know itll take time i love what i see so far
[05:17] <pabix> jbuncher, Oh, I see
[05:17] <tritium> aceraxon: cool, and welcome
[05:17] <pabix> I'll try to do that
[05:17] <jbuncher> techgeek40:  Ah, well I've got no idea on that one.
[05:18] <pabix> thank you
[05:18] <tritium> fatedkiss: :)
[05:18] <skwashd> narothepharoh: so if you are in the cdrom group you should have read and write access to the device
[05:18] <jbuncher> aceraxon:  I've had very good experiences with Gateway Intel Laptops and Ubuntu
[05:18] <tsrk> Hi, for some reason in file permissions lots more groups are showing than in the groups management dialog.  This is really a problem because I have added groups and they aren't appearing in the group management place so I can't add users to it.  Anyone know why this would be?
[05:18] <techgeek40> I was praying I could use my Nvidia pci video card - but it just won't work for some strange reason
[05:18] <narothepharoh> skwashd: it wont let me change any access it says permission denied
[05:18] <bod_> techgeek40: why wont it work ,.,. drivers?
[05:18] <twistedbeatfreek> tritium ok i registered my nick what now
[05:19] <genii> bod_: Try #linux-gamers.net    rather :)
[05:19] <aceraxon> jbuncher: that's good to hear, I like Gateway, my favorite place to work, I'm just too much a computer geek, turning an old system I built into something usable with Ubuntu
[05:19] <Daworm> Was installing runit so I can get svn up and running (apparently needed the package) but I get this at the end : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52866/ : is that bad??
[05:19] <bod_> genii: yer the other one didnt work ,.,. cheers
[05:19] <jbuncher> pabix:  Yeah, it was a pain.  I wish I knew of a better way.
[05:19] <skwashd> narothepharoh: what is "it" ? :)
[05:19] <narothepharoh> skwashd: brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2008-01-20 21:40 /dev/hdc
[05:19] <narothepharoh> ,Sorry, couldn't change the permissions of "CD-RW/DVD±RW Drive".
[05:19] <techgeek40> bod: Not sure - nickrud and I tried - he's good - but when I boot - it stops at the load boot script (/etc/rc.local)  [OK]
[05:19] <tritium> twistedbeatfreek: /query tritium
[05:19] <stunatra> Has the flash issue been resolved yet?
[05:19] <misslecommander> can someone suggest a good backup app to backup my current config and packages installed, on this account ?
[05:19] <tritium> stunatra: not yet
[05:19] <skwashd> narothepharoh: any changes will be lost of reboot
[05:19] <sp0ro> I have a problem with my login screen resolution; it is a higher resolution than my desktop screen. I looked at the solutions on the forums saying to edit the xorg.conf file, but my xorg.conf has none of the lines they say to edit. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52867/  Ok, so now that we know my xorg.conf has none of the lines that the fixes say to edit, my question is this: Should I add the "Display" and "Virtual" lines manually and
[05:19] <sp0ro>  their corresponding values? If so, where?
[05:19] <techgeek40> I did the ctrl+alt+F2 - and got the command prompt - but from there :<
[05:20] <zetheroo> can someone tell me how to once and for all kill the network-manager-gnome applet?
[05:20] <bod_> techgeek40: nickrud = better then me ,.,. sory
[05:20] <Cpudan80> stunatra: No, there is a workaround if you must have it right away
[05:20] <Cpudan80> !flash > stunatra
[05:20] <jbuncher> aceraxon:  Yeah, they were semi-recent laptops.  I even used Ubuntu to fix a messed up Vista partition.  Those restore discs that came with hte machine wouldn't even boot.
[05:20] <Darkmystere_> i keep getti this error from Linux o /home/son9524/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor3/torrent: Cannot talk to klauncher
[05:20] <techgeek40> bod: He's good - I've been a windows tech for years - 26 - but linux - totally new and I feel like an idiot -
[05:20] <stunatra> Thanks Cpudan80, tritium
[05:20] <Darkmystere_> iyt was working earlier.. when i first installed
[05:20] <zetheroo> anyone?
[05:20] <techgeek40> But everyone here has been VERY helpful - and it's appreciated
[05:20] <n00bie> i recently ordered myself a dell xps m1330 notebook... my question is, is HDMI supported in ubuntu 7.10 ?
[05:20] <Cpudan80> stunatra: no problemo
[05:21] <bod_> techgeek40: i no how u feel ,.,. its like moving to a new country ,.,.lol
[05:21] <pabix> jbuncher, If ever I find a better way, I'll let you know :)
[05:21] <tritium> n00bie: it depends on the video driver, but yes
[05:21] <edwin> zetheroo: killall nm-applet?
[05:21] <techgeek40> I have a five year old - i'll zip her up and send if someone wants here LOL (just kidding - she's joy - but at 12 in the morning and she is still up)
[05:22] <zetheroo> edwin: thanks... will try that
[05:22] <techgeek40> bod: I can put together a ten pc network - with a server and get it up and running - but with this - OH MY GOD!
[05:22] <jbuncher> pabix: that would be most appreciated :)  I'd even be happy finding a program in linux that will display the coordinates of the cursor over the eps file, which would make editing the bounding box much less guess and check.
[05:22] <n00bie> tritium, it's a 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
[05:22] <bod_> techgeek40: ha,.,. i dont wanna be in ur shoes ,.,.lol,.,.
[05:22] <wyclif> hey everybody
[05:22] <tritium> n00bie: the nvidia drivers support it
[05:22] <techgeek40> I can dual boot windows vista and xp - and even have a VNC for them - but ;<
[05:22] <fatedkiss> would sudo aptitude reinstall <filename> work? or do i have to add a url to get the file from?
[05:23] <edwin> zetheroo, if that works, you can go to system > preferences > sessions and save the session so that it never starts up again
[05:23] <pabix> jbuncher, maybe to do this you include it in a LaTeX file, put it right on the upper-left hand corner, and use xdvi
[05:23] <techgeek40> She wants to play run around the house with daddy because I do that with her a lot (she has me wrapped around her fingers - she knows that LOL)
[05:23] <zetheroo> edwin: super
[05:23] <bod_> techgeek40: with windows if i dont no how to do something ,. ten mins on google will fix my problem ,.,. here 2 mins in this forum will get u someone working on it personally ,.,. its much better then any MS support
[05:23] <tritium> fatedkiss: you have to use the package name from the repo
[05:23] <edwin> fatedkiss: sudo aptitude reinstall <package> does work
[05:23] <jbuncher> pabix:  maybe, but I'm trying to narrow down the number of steps, and keep the raw eps files
[05:24] <misslecommander> sp0ro: you still need help with the resolution issue ?
[05:24] <edwin> tritium: darn you and your quick replies
[05:24] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Yes, please. :)
[05:24] <techgeek40> MS Is good - I won't fault them - except some of the bs they pull - and it's good for the average user - but for a power user like me - that always wants to learn - lol
[05:24] <tritium> edwin: :)
[05:24] <Dr_willis> i can fault ms for a lot of things they do for the average user... :)
[05:24] <misslecommander> sp0ro: i looked at your pastebin, it looks like you are missing what is needed
[05:25] <bod_> techgeek40: i hate MS because they made me pay for a system that they should be struggling to GIVE AWAY
[05:25] <edwin> complete irc newb question, are people just manually typing in names followed by a colon to reply to questions, or is there some faster way to do it?
[05:25] <tigliona1bit> I have universe in my repos and am using gutsy but I can't find this package with apt-cache search rubygems http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/interpreters/rubygems  what's up with that?
[05:25] <jbuncher> techgeek40:  I just get a special level of satisfaction out of using linux tools to fix MS systems :)
[05:25] <TylerJGillies> edwin, try enter a few characters and hit tab
[05:25] <bod_> edwin: it shows up as red so its easier to see when someones talking to u
[05:25] <bod_> edwin: but yes
[05:25] <techgeek40> jbuncher: LOL that part I won't argue I do too
[05:25] <edwin> TylerJGillies: mmmm autocomplete...LOVE IT
[05:25] <chronographer> Hi all. I have a new issue with my gutsy install, where shutdown doesn't work anymore. I have to use init 0 which does work. When I click shutdown or restart, the screen becomes unresponsive and then nothing happens, no windows close etc.
[05:25] <hakuna_matata_24> 123
[05:25] <sp0ro> misslecommander; Yes I am. :) I have no idea why it's missing crucial lines like that. I am running the restricted nVidia drivers at the moment in case you were wondering.
[05:25] <misslecommander> spOro: this URL> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto      this section>        SubSection "Display"
[05:25] <techgeek40> But - I have got to go - I have to get to bed - :< work (gag) will be here too darn soon
[05:25] <techgeek40> Thank you all for the help
[05:26] <mkquist> edwin: i think it depends on ur software but in konversation u type a letter then <tab> gives u a list of names
[05:26] <fatedkiss> tritium, edwin, i wanna try install my ol ddriver but i dont necceseraly know where it was stored, is there a default location for drivers?
[05:26] <bod_> techgeek40: cya m8
[05:26] <techgeek40> You have a good one everyone - enjoy
[05:26] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Thanks, I'll take a look at that.
[05:26] <techgeek40> bod_: good night
[05:26] <tritium> fatedkiss: /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:26] <edwin> mkquist: using x-chat
[05:26] <misslecommander> sp0ro: let me know
[05:26] <mkquist> oops nm
[05:26] <fatedkiss> tritium, sweet
[05:26] <tritium> fatedkiss: but, as I said, use the package name, not the full file name
[05:26] <mkquist> edwin: does it do the same?
[05:26] <edwin> actually, i'm wanting to say that autocomplete is a systemwide program/feature, cause it works everywhere
[05:26] <wyclif> edwin: personally, I like BitchX
[05:27] <edwin> mkquist: yep.. should have known, i use it in the command line all the time...DOH!
[05:27] <mkquist> lol
[05:27] <bod_> edwin: lol
[05:27] <edwin> wtf?
[05:27] <tritium> edwin: yes, tab-completion is implemented in many apps
[05:27] <fatedkiss> tritium. so the package name would be like, alsa-driver*.tar.bz2?
[05:28] <edwin> ok...weird, now tabe just repeats "wyggler2 wyclif every time
[05:28] <tritium> fatedkiss: nope
[05:28] <wyclif> navigating the install options in openssh
[05:28] <edwin> i must have triggered something by accident
[05:28] <tritium> fatedkiss: which package do you want to reinstall?  It should be lised in the output of "dpkg -l | grep alsa"
[05:28] <wyclif> yeah
[05:28] <zetheroo> what
[05:28] <tritium> (else it's not intalled already, and hence not re-installable)
[05:28] <zetheroo> ???
[05:28] <underwatercow> Is there a way in GNOME to insert characters by a shortcut instead of from the character map, ie. in Windows you can press alt+ a number combination.
[05:28] <edwin> anyone know what i could have messed up?
[05:29] <edwin> oooh, never mind
[05:29] <fatedkiss> tritium,  alsa-base                                  1.0.14-1ubuntu2              ALSA driver configuration files
[05:29] <fatedkiss> ?
[05:29] <edwin> found out what's up
[05:29] <bod_> lol
[05:29] <zetheroo> what about the start menu
[05:29] <sp0ro> misslecommander: FYI, my problem is not the desktop resolution, it's the login resolution. My desktop resolution is 1280x1024, while my login resolution is 1900x1440 I believe. Isn't the display line only for correcting desktop resolutions?
[05:29] <mkquist> lol
[05:29] <edwin> its just listing all the matches it has....
[05:29] <bod_> edwin: wot was it?
[05:29] <edwin> meaning i didn't type enough characters
[05:29] <tritium> fatedkiss: alsa-base is the name of that particular package
[05:29] <fatedkiss> tritium, ok gotcha
[05:30] <edwin> eg, for bod, i just have to type bod, then tab, because b + tab gets me everyone and their mother
[05:30] <edwin> thats what i get when i try to tab complete in a room full of 1000+ users :|
[05:30] <bod_> edwin: yer,. i didnt realise that was wot u meant,.,.lol
[05:30] <edwin> fatedkiss: thank you
[05:31] <tritium> edwin: hit tab multiple times until the proper nick is listed
[05:31] <sp0ro> misslecommander: brb, restarting X to see if these changes worked.
[05:31] <buyaka> im trying to run hdparm on my hard disk .. is there a shorter way of referring to my drive rather then /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320620AS_6QF139KJ ?
[05:31] <fatedkiss> edwin, >.> what i do?
[05:31] <tritium> edwin: else, type more characters before trying to use tab-completion
[05:31] <edwin> fatedkiss: nothing its just typing "fat+tab" actually gets me your name instead of a huge friggin list
[05:32] <n_i_c_k> What might be the cause of a disk suddenly becoming read-only?
[05:32] <edwin> tritium: i figured that out the hard way, lol
[05:32] <bod_> edwin: i didnt no that worked in x-chat ,.,.., cool
[05:32] <fatedkiss> edwin, oh i was like *shifty eyes
[05:32] <tritium> edwin: :)
[05:32] <misslecommander_> Firefox still giving me issues
[05:33] <edwin> n_i_c_k: are you using multiple keyboard layouts?
[05:33] <bod_> misslecommander, wots up?
[05:33] <n_i_c_k> edwin: no
[05:33] <tritium> bod_: s/wot/what.  it's not hard to do
[05:33] <tritium> bod_: one exra letter...
[05:33] <misslecommander_> bod_: t seems to randomly crash while using it, and dumps the OS along with it
[05:33] <htns> bod_, nalioth: thanks a lot, I can see the boot up screen now and it boots up VERY quickly
[05:33] <bod_> tritium,  wot?? im so confused??????
[05:33] <tritium> !properenglish
[05:33] <ubotu> English is a language with rules, grammar, and correct spellings.  Please don't abuse it with AIM-speak and misspelling common words because you are lazy or just being stupid.
[05:33] <HorizonXP> hey, how can i update to the latest version of wine? right now, i'm at 0.9.46
[05:33] <misslecommander_> bod_: freezes OS
[05:33] <bod_> misslecommander_, have u tried reinstalling firefox?
[05:34] <nalioth> HorizonXP: perhaps asking in #winehq would help
[05:34] <mkquist> anyone have any suggestions on a cd labeling proggie?
[05:34] <tritium> bod_: in other words, "wot" is *not* a word
[05:34] <misslecommander_> bod_: i was thinking of that just before it froze
[05:34] <misslecommander_> bod_: i can do that through SPM ?
[05:34] <bod_> tritium,  sorry,.,. bad habbits
[05:34] <wyclif> tritium it is if you're in the UK
[05:34] <bod_> misslecommander_,  yer,.,. just search for firefox then mark for reinstallation
[05:34] <w4rd> wot = wide open throttle to me, but I'm a car guy :P
[05:34] <tigliona1bit> guys?  What would couse the rubygems package to not show up in my apt-cache search?  I have universe enabled...
[05:35] <bod_> w4rd, lol
[05:35] <misslecommander_> bod_: it had been giving me problems from day 1, so i think its time it needs a beating
[05:35] <tigliona1bit> what happens when you search for it?
[05:35] <sp0ro> misslecommander: We now have a bigger problem, it's running in low graphics mode with no restricted driver support with 800x600 and 600x480 resolution support. :(
[05:35] <bod_> misslecommander_, to right
[05:35] <jfholeary> Okay, I can't figure out how to change anything on the CUPS homepage.
[05:35] <jfholeary> In fact, I'm even more confused now.
[05:35] <misslecommander_> bod_: thank you,
[05:35] <bod_> misslecommander_, no probs
[05:35] <w4rd> tigliona1bit: try 'aptitude search rubygems'
[05:35] <n2diy_> w4rd: QSL?
[05:35] <brandon> hey im in terminal and i just need clarification of what a message I just got means...
[05:35] <bod_> k
[05:35] <w4rd> n2diy_: huh?
[05:36] <tigliona1bit> w4rd: I get nothing
[05:36] <misslecommander_> spOro: do what that pages says, all the way through. the structure of the file, may be important (indents, sysntax)
[05:36] <brandon> Please, run the configure script as first...
[05:36] <brandon> brandon@ubuntu:~/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.12$ sudo make install
[05:36] <n2diy_> w4rd, never mind, your nick looks like a ham radio call sign.
[05:36] <w4rd> tigliona1bit: you have the universe and metaverse repositories enabled, right?
[05:36] <tigliona1bit> I have universe
[05:36] <genii> brandon: it means do:  ./configure;make install
[05:36] <bod_> brandon, its gonna install a sound driver for u
[05:36] <nickrud> tigliona1bit: run   apt-get update  , then search again, if you don't find it you don't have universe enabled right
[05:36] <w4rd> n2diy_: oh, lol - 'ward' (my name) was taken
[05:36] <tigliona1bit> here, I'll pastie my sources.list, though it's the default.  And yes I've done that
[05:37] <misslecommander_> spOro: it did fix the issue with the resolution to some extent ?
[05:37] <tritium> brandon: Do you really need to compile it?  It's installed by default.
[05:37] <n2diy_> w4rd, roger roger, 73.
[05:37] <Celes> ohh deary
[05:37] <brandon> i hear no sound right now because i have an nVidia soundcard, so i am doing some updating
[05:37] <tigliona1bit> http://rafb.net/p/Hjbaaa70.html
[05:37] <edwin> so anyone else on gnome using something o?ther than x-chat
[05:37]  * Celes needs to learn ubuntu
[05:37] <bod_> edwin: no
[05:38] <wyclif> edwin: yes.. BitchX.  great in a terminal.
[05:38] <brandon> genii, do i write that directly after what it has written then?
[05:38] <jbuncher> edwin:  I use pidgin at times
[05:38] <n2diy_> edwin: I just joined the party, I'm using xchat-gnome.
[05:38] <misslecommander_> spOro: the restrocted driver may have not liked the changes, i prob should have said to disable the restricted driver, and try that. then do the fix if need be, and move onto enabling the restricted driver.
[05:38] <jfholeary> Okay, I'm a completely new, and not exactly computer savvy user trying to configure my print right now. Someone told me to go to the CUPS webpage and that didn't help at all, and in fact it's even confusing. So is there anyone here who can fix this issue for me step by step? I'm having a issue with my printer. Currently when I print something the font is so small it's almost illegible, how would I change the settings?
[05:38] <w4rd> tigliona1bit: looks fine to me - did you run 'sudo apt-get update' afterwards?
[05:39] <tigliona1bit> http://rafb.net/p/CbS1kP90.html
[05:39] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: I did do all the changes, upon reboot of X the restricted driver was disabled.
[05:39] <wyclif> i tried xchat-gnome but i don't like it as much as BitchX...i like the way BitchX does threading
[05:39] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  What kind of printer, and has it printed "normally" in ubuntu before?
[05:39] <dedi> can someone do me a favor and paste the output of "ls -la /var" please?
[05:39] <genii> brandon: You can do them separately if you like. Eg:   ./configure                    and then when that finishes do:   make install
[05:39] <nickrud> tigliona1bit: are you sure it's available in dapper?
[05:39] <misslecommander_> spOro: your resolution issue fixed ?
[05:39] <tigliona1bit> nickrud: I thought I was using gutsy
[05:39] <dissident> i have this new hdd sda1 how can i write to it, it says no permission
[05:39] <tigliona1bit> whoopsies
[05:40] <bod_> dedi: it gives me file permissions on things do u want me to pste bin it?
[05:40] <jfholeary> jbuncher: No, it's never printed normally in any application I've used. The print is a MultiPASS MP390 made by Cannon.
[05:40] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: No, it made it worse. Everything is now at 800x600. I'll repost my new xorg.conf in a sec
[05:40] <dissident> and also when booting i have to be as root to mount it
[05:40] <nickrud> tigliona1bit: no, your repos say dapper
[05:40] <misslecommander_> spOro: ok, hold a second
[05:40] <tigliona1bit> :B just signed up at slicehost and I guess the form reset that field when it didn't submit the first time.  Thanks for catching that
[05:40] <brandon> so press enter on what it has now then when it is clear type ./configure;make install
[05:40] <dedi> bod_: yeah :) i messed some permissions up and have to set that right again

[05:41] <monzie> Hi all
[05:41] <monzie> I want to make an SSL certificate for apache
[05:41] <grigora> has anyone succeeded in putting music on an iPhone from Ubuntu?
[05:41] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Hmm...I don't know that canon printers work all that well, but I could be wrong.  Is it only the font that is really tiny, or does the entire document get scaled down?
[05:41] <wyclif> brandon after you run configure, THEN run make install
[05:41] <monzie> I am using Ubuntu 7.10
[05:41] <monzie> how do i do that?
[05:41] <bod_> dedi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52868/
[05:41] <jfholeary> jbuncher: The entire document is scaled down.
[05:41] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  are you using gutsy?
[05:41] <dedi> great thing, thank you bod_
[05:42] <bod_> dedi: no probs
[05:42] <genii> brandon: needing sudo depends on what you are "making". Usually you should do something like:  more README   or for the similar file instead of README that comes with the source code
[05:42] <dissident> he guys how to use my new ext3 formatted hdd (just for data, not system)
[05:42] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Yup.

[05:42] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Ok.  Honestly, I haven't run in to this before, but I'll see if I can help.  Go to System -> Administration -> Printing
[05:42] <edwin> i had to manually install x-chat, but it doens't have an icon
[05:43] <fatedkiss> i forgot it but theres a command to show current listing of avail sounds cards, it wasnt lspci thou
[05:43] <brandon> genii, ok, but my question is do i type the "configure" part in now after the "brandon@ubuntu:~/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.12$ sudo make install
[05:43] <brandon> " part?
[05:43] <bod_> edwin: why didnt u install it through synaptic?
[05:43] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Okay, I'm there.
[05:43] <edwin> i did, lol
[05:43] <edwin> bod_: i did
[05:43] <misslecommander_> spOrO: looks to be you dont have all the possible modes there, let me look at my xorg, and i will see if i can give you the others
[05:43] <bod_> edwin: oh,.,. weird
[05:43] <grigora> monzie: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html
[05:43] <fismoll8> high all--trying to install freenx from the deb files on the nomachine website. Getting the following error: Package nxnode is not configured yet
[05:43] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Select your printer on the left under "Local Printers", and on the right go to the "Job Options" tab
[05:43] <nickrud> edwin: click the menu button a couple of times
[05:43] <wyclif> edwin i have a fresh install, when I installed xchat it dropped the icon in the menu
[05:44] <edwin> bod_: i uninstalled some things that i didn't need, and i think x-chat was a part of that package or something
[05:44] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Okay!
[05:44] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  There should be a "scaling" option, is that set to 100%?
[05:44] <grigora> anyone knows if it's possible to sync with iPhone from Ubuntu?
[05:44] <genii> brandon: put it after the brandon@ubuntu:~/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.1.12$          part
[05:44] <bod_> edwin: mark x-chat for reinstallation,.,. should put the right things bak
[05:44] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: I don't have 800x600 or 600x640, that wouldn't effect the resolution I am trying to boot in.
[05:44] <Nath_> Hi all, can anybody help me with a wireless problem?
[05:44] <sp0ro> 600x480*
[05:44] <genii> brandon: remember it is ./configure   and not just configure
[05:44] <misslecommander_> spOro: add these , try to keep from largest to smallest format > "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[05:44] <wyclif> grigora have you tried Amarok?
[05:44] <edwin> bod_:  up, up, and away to the cli
[05:45] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Yeah... and I've set it up to %1,000 and it still printed the same way.
[05:45] <fismoll8> anyone know how to set up freenx
[05:45] <bod_> edwin: wtf?
[05:45] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: How would that effect how I am trying to boot up? I am trying *NOT* to boot into anything lower than 1280x1024.
[05:45] <Elevator_Hazard> fismoll8: what are you running? it should be set up and such.
[05:45] <nickrud> jfholeary: if you print a doc with 4 pages, are all 4 pages printed on one sheet?
[05:45] <genii> brandon: And to save you reading the README since alsa is a sytem app and not a localised app for that user, afterwards: make                  then after that: sudo make install
[05:45] <misslecommander_> spOro: keeping with the format it expects is best practice
[05:45] <wyclif> grigora oops i thought you said, "iPod", HEH
[05:46] <brandon> genii ok... thx will try that
[05:46] <dedi> bod_ can you do that again for /var/run? :D nono i dont request it for every subfolder now :))
[05:46] <sp0ro> misslecommander_: Alright, I'll try restarting X and see if the changes worked.
[05:46] <grigora> wyclif: well, i haven't, but i looked at a page on help.ubuntu.com which references another page (http://www.touchdev.net/wiki/How_to_Escape_Jail) but that's not accessible ....
[05:46] <misslecommander_> spOro: ok
[05:46] <bod_> dedi: is that the whole command?
[05:46] <fismoll8> no elevator
[05:46] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Alrighty.....what do the "Text Options" Say?  Just type them in order, you don't need to say "characters per inch" or anything like that, just type "10.00, 6.00, 18, 18, 36, 36" or whatever your numbers are
[05:46] <jfholeary> nickrud: No, it would probably take a lot more than that since a document with one page comes out in about four pages, but it's all super small.
[05:46] <Elevator_Hazard> !firefox
[05:46] <ubotu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins

[05:46] <fismoll8> Elevator: I am running ubuntu--installed client, node, and server from no machine website
[05:46] <edwin> ah, well i used xchat-gnome, would that make a difference?
[05:46] <Nath_> Hi all, can anybody help me with a wireless problem?
[05:46] <nickrud> jfholeary: it sounds like you're using the wrong driver then
[05:46] <nemilar> has anyone tested out firefox 3?  is it really as fast as its claimed to be?
[05:47] <fismoll8> when installing the server, I get the error that the node isn't configured
[05:47] <nemilar> Nath_: just ask the question, if someone knows the answer they'll help
[05:47] <bazhang> nemilar: yep and yep

[05:47] <jw--> heh
[05:47] <wyclif> edwin xchat-gnome is fine, i just would rather have something else
[05:47] <genii> brandon: If after the "sudo make install" part you do not see near the last few lines "depmod -a"     then issue that afterwards as well but with sudo, eg: sudo depmod -a

[05:48] <misslecommander_> spOro: better yet, what model is it ?
[05:48] <wyclif> grigora no, unfortunately I don't have an iPhone to try and sync...
[05:48] <edwin> wyclif: ah, you mentioned that earlier..i'll look into it
[05:48] <jfholeary> jbuncher: 10.00, 6.00, 18, 18, 36, 36
[05:48] <Nath_> My wireless is listed as "working out of the box" but I can't get ubuntu to even recognise that I have a wireless connection
[05:48] <bazhang> ##windows
[05:48] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Samsung SyncMaster 910T
[05:48] <fatedkiss> I think i identified my sound problem kinda
[05:48] <khaotik> good lookin
[05:48] <jfholeary> nickrud: This is the driver it told me to use. :/
[05:48] <wyclif> edwin try it, it's very effective
[05:48] <bod_> khaotik: i can do it if u want,.,. private chat?
[05:48] <misslecommander_> spOro: just a sec
[05:48] <Elevator_Hazard> I bet when they say out of the box they mean for everything but linux >.<
[05:48] <genii> brandon: I just noticed the alsa version you are trying to compile. It is quite old now.
[05:48] <khaotik> hells yea
[05:49] <ShakaGoldSaint> hi there people
[05:49] <Nath_> on the ubuntu webiste it is listed there
[05:49] <edwin> for the record, this is really lame: xchat-gnome doesn't install an icon, xchat does
[05:49] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Under the "Printer Options" tab, is the correct Page Size selected?
[05:49] <bod_> khaotik, have u registered with serv?
[05:49] <dissident> !diskmounter
[05:49] <ShakaGoldSaint> anyone knows an equaliser software for alsa or something like it?
[05:49] <goat|wor1> Nath_: what wireless card?
[05:49] <sp0ro> Nath_: What WLAN NIC are you using?

[05:49] <fatedkiss> whatever erased my sound card from being listed. linux isnt showing i have any sounds cards, but it is listed in the pci list
[05:49] <brandon> genii, i have one more question, its about a message i get everytime i load up.  it says failed to initialize HAL
[05:49] <khaotik> ??
[05:49] <wyclif> edwin you must be missing a file
[05:49] <brandon> any Ideas on that?
[05:49] <Nath_> belkin fd50...
[05:49] <Nath_> somthing like that
[05:49] <jfholeary> jbuncher: It's supposed to be A4, isn't it?

[05:49] <Nath_> card is F5D6050z
[05:49] <nickrud> jfholeary: could be the right driver, but it sounds like  more than config. I was hoping it was a 4up or 2up issue :(
[05:50] <bod_> khaotik, do that to be able to private cat
[05:50] <bazhang> and chat
[05:50] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  Probably, in the states it's usually Letter, but I think elsewhere A4 is the standard
[05:50] <ericrost> just wanted to say thanks for a well put together distro
[05:50] <sp0ro> Nath_: Are you sure you installed the proper drivers?
[05:50] <Nath_> I didn't install anything
[05:50] <nemilar> ericrost: I agree, Ubuntu is the best desktop distro out there
[05:50] <ericrost> I rebuilt my system after farking it up using module assistant in 45 minutes with no data or preferences loss
[05:51] <jfholeary> nickrud: Man, haha, this is frustrating. I was trying to set my grandmother up with Ubuntu and so far this has been the only issue. For some reason my printer works fine on my computer.
[05:51] <ericrost> and I've been using it as a produciton system for more than a year
[05:51] <rabiddachshund> If I wanted to ftp into my linux as root, how would I do that?
[05:51] <jfholeary> jbuncher: I'll try printing something with the letter format.
[05:51] <monzie> can anyone tell me how to install mod_ssl on 71.0
[05:51] <n2diy> ericrost: nemilar, say thanks by passing it on to others.
[05:51] <Qrawl> where are the cube effects, etc on Gutsy
[05:51] <nemilar> n2diy: I already have :)
[05:51] <Nath_> how do i install drivers
[05:51] <ericrost> n2diy: I try
[05:51] <goat|wor1> rabiddachshund: you never should
[05:51] <sp0ro> Nath_: Most wireless NICs don't work out of the box with Linux considering most of them are made for windows exclusively. Sec
[05:51] <bod_> Qrawl, u have to install compiz-fusion
[05:51] <monzie> can anyone tell me how to install apache-mod-ssl on ubuntu
[05:51] <nemilar> n2diy: it's hard to convert the gentoo-afficianados though
[05:52] <bazhang> !ccsm | Qrawl

[05:52] <ericrost> n2diy: I built a buddy a junk computer with ubuntu because he was about to be without his roomies rig

[05:52] <ericrost> n2diy: he loves it
[05:52] <Qrawl> bazhang, ty
[05:52] <misslecommander> spOro: Firefox keeps dumping me
[05:52] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Yeah, that didn't work either.
[05:52] <Nath_> so what can I do
[05:52] <rabiddachshund> but if I wanted to...
[05:52] <ericrost> n2diy: then I ssh'd in to fix a driver, and he won't go back
[05:52] <misslecommander> spOro: i have to fix Firefox, i cant help you much without it, sorry
[05:52] <Nath_> cause I can't install packages and the OS is kinda useless unless i get the wireless working
[05:52] <sp0ro> Nath_: Try reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437919
[05:53] <n2diy> nemilar: cool hard to convert the converted. :) ericrostcool.
[05:53] <sp0ro> misslecommander: np
[05:53] <ericrost> Nath_: do you have another running computer?
[05:53] <goat|wor1> rabiddachshund: you would have to configure your ftp server,  what ftp server are you using?
[05:53] <bod_> khaotik, ??? r u still here ???
[05:53] <rabiddachshund> vsftp
[05:53] <Nath_> I'm dual booting
[05:53] <rabiddachshund> d
[05:53] <ericrost> Nath_: then download the packages in your windows side
[05:53] <andy10204_TSL> hello?
[05:53] <khaotik> how do i register
[05:53] <bod_> hi
[05:53] <ericrost> Nath_: burn them to cd and double click on them in ubuntu
[05:53] <ericrost> Nath_: from packages.ubuntu.org
[05:53] <bod_> khaotik, r u using x-chat?
[05:53] <misslecommander> Nath: open Network, double-click Wireless coneection, setup SSIS, enable Wireless connection by checking the box
[05:53] <edwin> wyclif: i think i'm spoiled..i can't use the bitchx command line version
[05:53] <goat|wor1> rabiddachshund: it should be an option in the conf file
[05:54] <misslecommander> gtg fix Firefox
[05:54] <fatedkiss> guess tritium must be afk
[05:54] <Nath_> Wont that be a pain trying to get all the dependent files
[05:54] <Qrawl> And whats the difference between Normal and Extra in Effects
[05:54] <goat|wor1> rabiddachshund: i know it is in proftpd, not entirely sure about vsftpd
[05:54] <tritium> fatedkiss: I'm here.  what's up?
[05:54] <ericrost> Nath_: yes, but you're just shooting to get the wifi working, correct? after that you'll have a connection
[05:54] <khaotik> i was in the middle of an install of xp on a laptop that dosnt stay charged unless plugged in and the cord got kicked out and shut off
[05:54] <Nath_> I am trying to connect to an open wireless network
[05:55] <Qrawl> Normal and Extra seem the same in Visual Effects
[05:55] <fatedkiss> tritium, i belive i know what happend kinda..
[05:55] <Nath_> i only seem to have the option of turing on roaming
[05:55] <khaotik> yes using x chat on my laptop running 7.10
[05:55] <andy10204_TSL> this is my first time here
[05:55] <ericrost> Nath_: all you should need are a few statically linked packages without many dependencies, find the solution on the forums while you're on your windows side if you can
[05:55] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  I'm not well versed in installing additional printer drivers, but perhaps someone can help you with this http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-MultiPASS_MP390
[05:55] <fatedkiss> tritium, it seems my os no longer detecs the sound card i had
[05:55] <andy10204_TSL> so
[05:55] <dedi> when running screen i get a: Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777. If i change it manually to 777 it works, but its gone after a reboot. i checked the file and directory file permissions and owner and there seems everything fine. cant find what causes the file permissions to reset at startup. same thing is with slocate
[05:55] <bod_> khaotik, to send private messages you have to register with NickServ
[05:55] <tritium> fatedkiss: how so?
[05:55] <bod_> !register | khaotik
[05:55] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Thanks... :/
[05:55] <ubotu> khaotik: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[05:56] <Nath_> Ok i'll have a look, thanks all
[05:56] <fatedkiss> tritium, dont really know. i did an lspci and it shows up: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
[05:56] <ericrost> Nath_: fyi, wifi is the WORST part of linux
[05:56] <Nath_> really
[05:56] <Nath_> damn
[05:56] <khaotik> now when i turn on system its missing the ntldr
[05:56] <fatedkiss> tritium, but asound list. shows no cards
[05:56] <ericrost> Nath_: unfortunately for us, its the first you see, too :)
[05:56] <Nath_> does it work at all?
[05:56] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  That page documents the issue you're having (image roughly 60% of size), but provides a driver to use.......I just don't know how to install it.
[05:56] <bazhang> depends ericrost on how well the card is supported
[05:56] <tritium> fatedkiss: hmm
[05:56] <ericrost> Nath_: trust me, for almost anything you'll do, its point, click, install
[05:56] <bod_> khaotik, is the hard drive formatted?
[05:56] <ericrost> bazhang: I have a ralink that was fully supported in feisty
[05:57] <ericrost> bazhang: that's now unstable in gutsy
[05:57] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Which page?
[05:57] <bazhang> Nath_: yes, though intel wireless cards are best choice
[05:57] <Nath_> ok
[05:57] <ericrost> bazhang: totally agree
[05:57] <ripdisk> i need some help installing ubuntu on an old laptop, it gives me a kernel panic and says it tried to kill an idle process, but when i use the vga=771 option it boots into a black screen

[05:57] <Nath_> is usb ok

[05:57] <fatedkiss> tritium, all right, see ya later ^^
[05:57] <jfholeary> jbuncher: OH! Thank you.
[05:57] <bod_> Nath_, usb is fine
[05:57] <ericrost> Nath_: pci is usually better, but I'm living with a usb for the moment
[05:57] <tritium> fatedkiss: good night, and good luck
[05:58] <ericrost> I will give up my old atheros pci cards when you pry them from my cold dead hands
[05:58] <Nath_> but intel should be better
[05:58] <ripdisk> i need some help installing ubuntu on an old laptop, it gives me a kernel panic and says it tried to kill an idle process, but when i use the vga=771 option it boots into a black screen
[05:58] <jbuncher> jfholeary:  so yeah....just need to figure out how to actually use the file they provide, and printing should be ok.
[05:58] <Nath_> Im going shopping!
[05:58] <n2diy> ripdisk: try the nodma option?
[05:58] <bazhang> superb
[05:58] <tritium> fatedkiss: I'll check up on you tomorrow night, if you're around.
[05:58] <khaotik> no it had windows xp running on it
[05:58] <Nath_> thanks again all
[05:58] <genii> brandon: I ghosted a couple times, my connection is flakey.May have missed some messages. I'll repeat the last 2 I sent
[05:58] <jfholeary> jbuncher: Yeah.
[05:58] <ripdisk> what's nodma do, n2diy
[05:58] <ericrost> Nath_: si, intel es muy bueno for wireless
[05:58] <genii> brandon: For the HAL message I'm not much help. Someone else may know.
[05:58] <bod_> ripdisk, have you got a graphics card ?
[05:58] <fatedkiss> tritium, ill be here
[05:58] <ripdisk> yes i have a graphics card, lol
[05:58] <Qrawl> Glipper should be it Ubuntu by default
[05:58] <brandon> genii, ok
[05:59] <bod_> ripdisk, try installing  without the graphics card plugged in
[05:59] <n2diy> ripdisk: no direct memory access, use the Fx key options to find out more about it.
[05:59] <sp0ro> missilecommander; I fixed the problem, was kind of a pain, but a very simple fix apparently.
[05:59] <ripdisk> bod
[05:59] <ripdisk> how would i do something like that?
[05:59] <ripdisk> i didn't even think that was possible
[05:59] <dedi> when running screen i get a: Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777. If i change it manually to 777 it works, but its gone after a reboot. i checked the file and directory file permissions and owner and there seems everything fine. cant find what causes the file permissions to reset at startup. same thing is with slocate
[05:59] <ericrost> another kudos to everyone.. I almost installed fedora for the better ralink driver temporarily, but I went to their support channel, and found a bunch of assholes
[05:59] <bod_> ripdisk, is it a laptop or a desktop?
[05:59] <ripdisk> laptop, sir
[05:59] <wyclif> edwin the commands are the same as xchat
[06:00] <ericrost> and they're sloppy enough that their live disc for amd64 is more than 800 megs for a cd image
[06:00] <n2diy> ripdisk: during boot up you'll have options to use F5 or F6, and others, try them.
[06:00] <khaotik> i was just trying to reinstall a new copy of xp
[06:00] <bod_> ripdisk, oh,.,. u cant do that then ,.,. sorry
[06:00] <ericrost> I don't know that I've ever seen an 800 M cd-r / rw
[06:00] <ericrost> I actually went and looked to see if I was just stupid
[06:00] <bod_> khaotik, the hard drive you are trying to install xp on,.,. is it formatted?
[06:01] <ripdisk> n2diy, I get to the screen that asks me if i want to boot it up live or in save graphics mode or whatever
[06:01] <bazhang> khaotik: this is for a dual boot with ubuntu?
[06:01] <nemilar> ericrost: they exist, but they're not common
[06:01] <ripdisk> and when i boot it, even with the vga=771 option, it goes to a black screen
[06:01] <ericrost> and all I've ever gotten from the ubuntu community is good help, and not a lot of impatience and snobbery
[06:01] <edwin> wyclif: except that i don't use commands in xchat (i'm mouse spoiled)
[06:01] <n2diy> ripdisk: whatever, and explore those options.
[06:01] <wyclif> edwin there is also http://www.irchelp.org/
[06:01] <bod_> ericrost, ahmen to that
[06:01] <ericrost> just kudos to us for being a good community, which is what linux needs
[06:01] <khaotik> no its just a full reinstall of windoze for a friend
[06:01] <ripdisk> n2diy, i've read it all but i'm kind of a noob and can't figure it out
[06:02] <ripdisk> guess i can read again
[06:02] <bazhang> then best to go to ##windows khaotik
[06:02] <nemilar> ericrost: Linux has always had a good community...it needs vender support more than anything, I think
[06:02] <khaotik> no i dont think its formatted
[06:02] <edwin> wyclif: good point...
[06:02] <bod_> khaotic: format the hard drive first
[06:02] <Krumar> has anyone here successfully installed a bluetooth headset for use with a program like teamspeak or skype?
[06:02] <ericrost> nemilar: I haven't found that in some other distros... but I've loved my LUG
[06:02] <bazhang> !ot | bod_ khaotik
[06:02] <ubotu> bod_ khaotik: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:02] <Netham45> hmm, I just acquired a laptop with an Ubuntu Feisty BETA on it.
[06:02] <nemilar> the fact that the primary method of support for linux is "Just google it" is preventing Linux from getting anywhere near mainstream
[06:03] <nemilar> ericrost: yeah, LUGs are awesome
[06:03] <Morili> Hello, I can't upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10. I am typing gksu "update-manager -c" in the terminal, and I have tried F2 and typing that, and it isn't showing any upgrade available.
[06:03] <ericrost> nemilar: to offtopic?
[06:03] <n2diy> ripdisk: yes, you can. There should be something like boot=nodma, try that. I haven't installed since Dapper, 6.06, so my memory is a little foggy, GL.
[06:03] <bod_> khaotik, join this channel #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:03] <Dr_willis> nemilar,  i find that MS has caused people to not even attempt to use any of their braincells.  :)
[06:03] <ArthurArchnix> Hi... I'm searching through the forums for an answer on how to always mount usb devices with full read/write permissions for the my username. Hal mounts my ntfs usb key, or my friends, always as read only. How do I configure Hal mount policy on a per user basis?
[06:04] <nemilar> Dr_willis: it's a differing philosophy...one says that people should know the inner-workings of their computers, should work through problems...the other is that things should "just work" and when it doesn't, there should be a phone number to call
[06:04] <ripdisk> n2diy, that's not in the help thing at all
[06:04] <edwin> nemilar: i find the google method more help than the "stay-on-hold-for-3-hours-just-to-be-told-to-turn-off-my-computer-and-turn-it-back-on" methodology that xp followed (at least whenver i asked for help)
[06:04] <dedi> ripdisk: remove quiet and splash. you problably have an ati card
[06:04] <n2diy> ripdisk: it is a boot up option.
[06:04] <Dr_willis> nemik,  a phone # - with a nice $$$ attatched to it. :P
[06:04] <edwin> nemilar: also, there are commercial distros that offer the phone support
[06:04] <wyclif> edwin: HEH!
[06:04] <nemilar> edwin: yeah, definitely...I _love_ that I can answer almost any linux question by googling it, I'm just saying I don't think it's for the masses
[06:04] <n2diy> ripdisk: your passing a kernel command at boot.
[06:04] <Dr_willis> Even ubuntu has phone support! :)
[06:05] <Morili> Could someone please help me upgrade to Ubuntu 6.10?
[06:05] <Dr_willis> I think.
[06:05] <Cpudan80> Morili: 6.10 ?
[06:05] <Morili> Yes. I'm using 6.06.
[06:05] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[06:05] <Cpudan80> Morili: You should go up to 7.10 ...
[06:05] <Cpudan80> !upgrade | Morili
[06:05] <ubotu> Morili: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:05]  * Dr_willis sends in a resume.
[06:05] <edwin> nemilar: i'd offer up that irc is the best live support ever, but it's kind of intimidating, i mean heck, its beyond me how all these people have myspaces, but are still unfamiliar with the concept of email
[06:05] <Morili> I know, I am. But I need to go to 6.10 at first.
[06:05] <n2diy> Morili: Do you have the 6.10 CD?
[06:06] <nemilar> edwin: IRC is sooooo 1990s
[06:06] <Morili> Yes, but it is a 64-bit edition. I don't have a 64-bit processor, nor do I want to use a 64-bit OS.
[06:06] <nickrud> lol Dr_willis
[06:06] <Cpudan80> Morili: Might as well wait for the next version -- which will be LTS and have a direct upgrade path I think
[06:06] <nemilar> edwin: but it does provide the best real-time support system, hands down
[06:06] <brandon> is anyone here good with kernl
[06:06] <brandon> ?"
[06:06] <Cpudan80> Morili: "It is 64-bit edition" ?
[06:06] <Morili> Yes, my 6.10 CD is.
[06:07] <edwin> nemilar: speaking of which, i hadn't actively been on irc since the 90s, lol only came here cause i needed quick help and google wasn't giving it
[06:07] <Cpudan80> Morili: So you have to get a new CD
[06:07] <bazhang> !ask | brandon
[06:07] <ubotu> brandon: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[06:07] <Dr_willis> Yea! lets all use Yahoo to text chat! then have webcams ..  then voice chatting... then phones.. then txt msg each other on the phones! full circle.
[06:07] <jamesdell> hello! anyone have successful of making centos/redhat/fedora running for guest in ubuntu xen sever??
[06:07] <ripdisk> I just tried typing this when it said boot:, n2diy
[06:07] <Morili> I know, however I'm sure I can upgrade VIA command line.
[06:07] <Cpudan80> Morili: You can upgrade on the command line, sudo apt-get upgrade I think --- the directions should tell you
[06:07] <n2diy> brandon, try the folks in #ubuntu-kernel?
[06:07] <brandon> bzhang, what?
[06:07] <nemilar> edwin_: that's how I wound up here, too, haha... I just decided to stay, when I saw that I could help some people out
[06:07] <ripdisk> i typed live vga=771 boot=nodma
[06:07] <brandon> how do i get there?
[06:07] <ripdisk> it didn't work
[06:07] <Morili> I know Cpudan, however when I type in gksu "update-manager -c" it won't let me upgrade to the latest version.
[06:07] <Morili> Well, 6.10.
[06:08] <dedi> ripdisk: just remove any thing except "ro"
[06:08] <edwin_> gah..bitchx aint gonna do it for me. that huge modeline is rediculous
[06:08] <n2diy> ripdisk: you should have had the option to press one of the Fx keys to see the options.
[06:08] <edwin_> exit
[06:08] <Morili> Should I tell you the message I'm getting in the terminal? Perhaps you can help me from there?
[06:08] <Cpudan80> Morili: That would be good - paste the output to pastebin
[06:08] <Morili> Ok.
[06:08] <Guza> hi , what is the best software with web support for server monitoring ?
[06:08] <brandon> n2diy, how do I get there?
[06:09] <jamesdell> anyone?
[06:09] <Morili> This is the result, cpudan: "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:17: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
[06:09] <Morili>   warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)"
[06:09] <edwin> ooh, i do like the regular xchat version better than xchat-gnome..or maybe it's just an old release
[06:09] <ripdisk> dedi: that almost worked, except it says: kernel panic - not syncing vfs: unable to mount root fs on uknown block(104,1)
[06:09] <Flannel> edwin: no, theyre different (and your preference is common, actually)
[06:09] <bazhang> !anyone | jamesdell
[06:09] <ubotu> jamesdell: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:09] <Cpudan80> Morili: Do apt-get install python-vte
[06:10] <Cpudan80> Morili: Then try that upgrade thing you were doing
[06:10] <edwin> Flannel: it just seems to be better organized
[06:10] <edwin> regardless of if that's true or not, lol
[06:10] <dedi> ripdisk: this has nothing to do with the blank screen, seems your installation has some other problems :)
[06:10] <Morili> All right, thank you very much.
[06:10] <n2diy> brandon, try the folks in /join #ubuntu-kernel?
[06:10] <jamesdell> !thanks | jamesdell
[06:10] <ripdisk> dedi: I know the CD works, it installs on other computers
[06:10] <CK_L> how to make linux dual boot?
[06:11] <CK_L> how to make linux dual boot monitor and tv?
[06:11] <bazhang> CK_L: which installed first?
[06:11] <ripdisk> also, this is just me trying to boot into the live thing, dedi
[06:11] <brandon>  /join #ubuntu-kernel
[06:11] <Cpudan80> CK_L: Dual boot monitor and TV?
[06:11] <CK_L> bazhang: sorry is monitor
[06:11] <Morili> I'm still receiving the same problem, cpudan.
[06:11] <dedi> ripdisk: into the live cd? then its strange :>
[06:11] <ArthurArchnix> How do I configure it so that everytime a new usb key is plugged in, I automatically have read and write access to that usb stick.
[06:11] <bazhang> CK_L: which OS is installed on your monitor?
[06:11] <Cpudan80> Morili: Did the python install complete successfully ?
[06:11] <ripdisk> dedi, yes sir
[06:12] <n2diy> brandon, yes, your there.
[06:12] <puff> Hi.  A make error overwrote chunks of my libc;  I'm afraid that if I do "apt-get remove" followed by "apt-get install", it'll end up removing all of the dependencies.
[06:12] <Cpudan80> Morili: sudo apt-get install python-vte
[06:12] <ripdisk> dedi, i erased everything and wrote ''ro''
[06:12] <CK_L> Cpudan80:  yup , i got 1 monitor and 1 tv , how can i display both at same time
[06:12] <ripdisk> and that's what it said
[06:12] <puff> Is there any way to tell apt to just re-download/re-install libc?
[06:12] <jbuncher> ArthurArchnix:  As far as I know, as long as the filesystem is fat32 on those, it should be configured that way already
[06:12] <Morili> It says I have the latest version all ready. (of the python vte)
[06:12] <CK_L> bazhang: sorry is dual boot monitor
[06:12] <Cpudan80> CK_L: Well.... that's something to ask after it's up and running as a dual boot
[06:12] <dedi> ripdisk: ah the root=blah you should not delete :D
[06:12] <Aloha> puff, just apt-get install again
[06:12] <brandon> n2diy, yea thx
[06:13] <Cpudan80> Morili: ehhhhh try sudo apt-get install python
[06:13] <dedi> ripdisk: kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/md1 ro
[06:13] <Morili> Ok.
[06:13] <bazhang> CK_L: dual screen? you want to output to tv and have the display on computer monitor as well?
[06:13] <jbuncher> Cpudan80, Does he actually want a "dual boot", or does he just want two monitors?
[06:13] <dedi> ripdisk: should look like this, just no more options after "ro"
[06:13] <ripdisk> dedi, there is nothing that says ''root''
[06:13] <Cpudan80> jbuncher: Dunno, hasn't said that yet
[06:13] <Morili> Same results.
[06:13] <Cpudan80> Morili: Then I dunno, sorry
[06:13] <drambuie> CK_L, i use xrandr to put it to my tv
[06:13] <n2diy> brandon, nada, but why are you mentioning audio there? They probably can't help you?
[06:13] <dedi> ripdisk: ok then i cant help, never used the live cd
[06:13] <ArthurArchnix> jbuncher: No... the last three drives I've tried to plug in have been ntfs. I know I can chown them, but I also think that hal should be configurable to automount all usb devices as r/w.
[06:13] <Morili> I only recently installed 6.06, could it have been installed improperly?
[06:14] <Cpudan80> Morili: Possibly, why did you install such an old distro?
[06:14] <jbuncher> ArthurArchnix: Ah ok.  I don't have any experience writing to ntfs from linux, much less with external usb drives.
[06:14] <ampex> what's the default mta in ubuntu?
[06:14] <misslecommander> Firefox with realplayer 10 installed. i open audio stream, 3 processes of realplayer.bon running on one audio stream/ this problem, bad install ? i see no uninstall for it
[06:14] <brandon> n2diy, because i need to use the kernel to compile something i guess
[06:14] <Morili> It was all I had on me, and I don't have and CD burning drives available.
[06:14] <misslecommander> realplayer.bin
[06:15] <dbmoodb> hello i am having problems printing over a network
[06:15] <Morili> Well I to have a 7.10 CD, but I have so many problems with it, it's not worth dealing with.
[06:15] <Cpudan80> Morili: Try sudo apt-get check
[06:15] <misslecommander> how can i uninstall realplayer 10 ?
[06:15] <ripdisk> file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper xforcevesa initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --
[06:15] <ripdisk> dedi, that's what it says
[06:15] <jbuncher> Morili, did you check the cd for defects when you installed?
[06:15] <tich> i just updated the linux headers and now my computer is loading in low graphics
[06:15] <bazhang> https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ Morili ubuntu will send the latest disks to you gratis
[06:15] <tich> how do i fix this?
[06:15] <n2diy> brandon, don't guess, solve the problem. the kernel guys don't like users guessing about the kernel.
[06:15] <Morili> Bazhang, that takes 6-10 weeks, right?
[06:15] <Morili> That's a bit of a while, heh.
[06:16] <ripdisk> dedi: does that tell you anything?
[06:16] <Morili> And no, I didn't jbuncher.
[06:16] <dbmoodb> just download them again
[06:16] <misslecommander> spOro: is your issue fixed ?
[06:16] <bazhang> Morili: that would be my guess; why not have a fried burn it for you?
[06:16] <tich> it also says that i have broken packages
[06:16] <dedi> ripdisk: yeah file replaces the root i think. just try to remove the quiet and splash
[06:16] <brandon> n2diy, how do I do that when I dont know how to open kernel up?
[06:16] <ArthurArchnix> jbuncher: It's more of a hal question... I think a new policy has to be created. I can't find any link on ubuntuforums or anywhere else. Everyone just says to take ownership of it once you see that you can't write to it.
[06:16] <bazhang> friend *
[06:16] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Yep, was a pretty simple fix.
[06:16] <tich> and that i can't install build-essential
[06:17] <Morili> I suppose I could. Thank you everyone, sorry for all the trouble. : )
[06:17] <dbmoodb> i have added cupsys to aa-complain, but my printer still doesn't work in ubuntu, in debian etch it works perfectly
[06:17] <sp0ro> misslecommander: Just changed my monitor in the Ubuntu configs to a custom LCD that runs in 1200x1024. Restricted drivers and all are working now.
[06:17] <ripdisk> dedi: kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill the idle task!
[06:17] <n2diy> brandon, Kernel is the heart of the operating system, do you know how to program at the machine code level? That is what those guys are playing with.
[06:18] <jbuncher> ArthurArchnix:  Yeah, that could be, but I'm not knowledgeable at all about hal really, unfortunately.  Do you have read/write support for ntfs installed?
[06:18] <dbmoodb> linux is our kernel
[06:18] <brandon> n2diy, haha,,,, no
[06:18] <dedi> ripdisk: mhm never seen that error. tried google?
[06:18] <ripdisk> dedi: for hours
[06:18] <brandon> n2diy, You must turn on the sound support soundcore module. This is in the kernel. Look in the sound drivers directory and it should be the first option.
[06:18] <jbuncher> n2diy:  Not to be picky, but I don't think they are writing at the "machine code" level.....don't they write in C?
[06:18] <dedi> sorry mate cant help you :(
[06:18] <n2diy> brandon, then stick here, you don't have a kernel problem. You have an app. problem.
[06:18] <brandon> that is what I am looking at...
[06:19] <misslecommander> spOro: that is excellent
[06:19] <dbmoodb> well my problem seems to stem from "no ticket cache for blah"
[06:19] <n2diy> jbuncher: same thing, as far as my expertise goes. :)
[06:19] <ripdisk> dedi, do you know anyone that could help me?
[06:19] <n2diy> brandon, modules can be installed/loaded without the kernel.
[06:20] <brandon> yea, but shouldnt It already be there?
[06:20] <jbuncher> n2diy:  I think you mean "without reinstalling/changing the kernel"
[06:20] <dedi> ripdisk: unfortunately not
[06:21] <ripdisk> dedi: well, shoot.
[06:21] <n2diy> jbuncher: you know what I mean, why beat me up too? :)
[06:21] <jbuncher> n2diy:  Because the people asking questions may not know what you mean, and they're the ones we're trying to communicate with :)
[06:21] <n2diy> brandon, nobody can guess what everybodies system configuration is.
[06:22] <fparis> the x.org update didnt fix my problem. when i type its still jittery, anyway to try to fix it?
[06:22] <edwin> i'm curious as well, jbuncher. I get that problem on pidgin
[06:22] <n2diy> jbuncher: Well, I'm doing my best. Why don't you try to? Help or sit?
[06:22] <dedi> when running screen i get a: Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777. If i change it manually to 777 it works, but its gone after a reboot. i checked the file and directory file permissions and owner and there seems everything fine. cant find what causes the file permissions to reset at startup. same thing is with slocate
[06:23] <brandon> n2diy, ok, where can i download the module from then??
[06:23] <jbuncher> edwin:  what problem are you referring to?
[06:23] <n2diy> brandon, what sound card do you have?
[06:23] <brandon> nVidia
[06:24] <n2diy> brandon, ha, I should have guessed that. What is the model number?
[06:24] <edwin> jbuncher: jittery text while typing. it seems to be a refresh problem or something
[06:24] <edwin> ... but it only appears in pidgin
[06:25] <genii> dedi: If running "screen" or "updatedb" not with sudo then the files they use must allow the username you are running them under r/w access
[06:25] <brandon> n2diy, i do not know
[06:25] <dbmoodb> ba
[06:25] <htns> okay....
[06:25] <htns> i just did apt-get phpmyadmin
[06:25] <htns> but how the heck do i get into it???
[06:26] <jamescarr> hi
[06:26] <jbuncher> edwin;  I think you might have wanted to send that message to fparis, rather than me.  I don't have that issue, but it certainly is interesting
[06:26] <jamescarr> is there a good app for editing MOV files?
[06:26] <slypheed> j linux
[06:26] <n2diy> brandon, open a termina, and enter lshw, and see if you find it.
[06:26] <edwin> brandon: do lspci and you'll find out which card you have
[06:26] <n2diy> *termina/terminal
[06:27] <brandon> n2diy, the card is HDA NVidia, the chip is sigmatel STAC9200
[06:27] <edwin> jbuncher: oops, i guess so
[06:27] <fparis> edwin, its weird typing.. it sometimes holds the    letter or whatever i type for no reason. its also slow at times.. but only occasionally
[06:27] <lackli> will getting 32-bit binaries like libgnome32 have any negative effect on my amd64?

[06:27] <lackli> ok thanks, it won't mess things up dedi?
[06:27] <abbazabba71> I am new to ubuntu.  can anyone help me configure my computer as an internet gateway?
[06:28] <n2diy> brandon, cool, so google for Ubuntu sigmatel STA9200, and see if you can find the module/driver name.
[06:28] <lackli> ok, thanks dedi
[06:28] <dedi> lackli: i run everything without problems oder mess up

[06:30] <brandon> yea
[06:30] <brandon> i believe so
[06:30] <coolbhavi> please help anyone?
[06:30] <edwin> brandon: if so, just open up synaptic and search for "backport module generic"
[06:31] <Darkmystere> Ok,well i got my splash working but  has anyone noticed that youtube videos are too small ?
[06:31] <brandon> where is synaptic?
[06:31] <bod_> Darkmystere: r u using firefox?
[06:31] <edwin> brandon: System > administration > synaptic package manager
[06:31] <dedi> yao_ziyuan: im not shure, but try dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[06:31] <jbuncher> htns:  try localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser
[06:31] <Darkmystere> Yea
[06:31] <n2diy> brandon, locate/synaptic
[06:31] <bod_> Darkmystere, do the videos still work?
[06:31] <Darkmystere> bod_: Yea Why?
[06:32] <htns> jbuncher: do you know where the webroot usually is for apache?
[06:32] <cE_cRi_tMn> dffffffffff
[06:32] <htns> im looking in /etc/apach2, but it's not there....\:
[06:32] <brandon> ok, i got synaptic up and running
[06:32] <Flannel> htns: /var/www
[06:32] <bazhang> cE_cRi_tMn: got an issue?
[06:32] <htns> ah...
[06:32] <Flannel> htns: /etc/apache2 is all the configuration (which dictates where the webroot is)
[06:32] <bod_> Darkmystere, i think i have a fix 1 sec
[06:32] <edwin> brandon: click search (last button on the tool bar / far right)
[06:33] <Aicryac> hey you guys, i have ubuntu 7.10 running and of course it is on apache 2.2.4 right now, i saw apache 2.2.8 came out not to long ago and want to give it a shot but couldn't find config.nice file to play with, can anyone help me out on that? :)
[06:33] <edwin> then type "backport modules generic" and search
[06:33] <jbuncher> htns:  http://myipaddress/apache2-default/
[06:33] <Darkmystere> bod_: sec checking again
[06:33] <htns> jbuncher: yeah, that works
[06:33] <MrObvious> Good evening guysl.
[06:33] <brandon> ok..
[06:33] <MrObvious> *guys
[06:33] <jbuncher> htns: http://myipaddress/phpmyadmin/ works for me
[06:33] <Darkmystere> it takes a bit to load..
[06:33] <MrObvious> Actually good morning. :\
[06:33] <edwin> brandon: should get like 3 packages that pop up, right?
[06:33] <htns> jbuncher: yeah, phpmyadmin works
[06:34] <htns> im just wondering where the /var/www is....
[06:34] <jbuncher> htns: ok
[06:34] <htns> I cant find that phrase in the apach2.conf file
[06:34] <htns> ~_~
[06:34] <brandon> for "backport module generic"?
[06:34] <edwin> right
[06:34] <Flannel> htns: Its not.  Its a virtual host specific thing, its in the file in sites-available
[06:34] <edwin> brandon: if not, then you'll have to enable some repos
[06:34] <htns> o....
[06:34] <brandon> searching
[06:34] <bod_> Darkmystere, here ,.,. this fixes all flash problems,.,. basically just remove ur flash plugins thrugh synaptic ,. then read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397
[06:34] <MrObvious> !easysource | brandon
[06:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easysource - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:35] <htns> well, that's different from windows now is it....
[06:35] <MrObvious> :\
[06:35] <MrObvious> It was there a few days ago.
[06:35] <Darkmystere> well err... opk it seems to be working
[06:35] <htns> I've been using/developing in windows for years now, so im really used to it ~_~''
[06:35] <bod_> Darkmystere, lol,.,.kk
[06:35] <bazhang> !easysources
[06:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easysources - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:35] <Flannel> htns: Its the debian method of configuration.  Everything is split out into chunks that make sense.  To allow easy enabling/disabling of specific parts.
[06:35] <brandon> yea 3 packages
[06:35] <htns> i see
[06:36] <edwin> brandon: install the last one
[06:36] <brandon> modules-gene?
[06:36] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[06:36] <edwin> brandon: right
[06:36] <brandon> k
[06:36] <Flannel> htns: everything module specific is in /mods-available, everything virtual host specific is in /sites-availabe.  the corresponding -enabled directories are for the mods/sites that are actually enabled.
[06:36] <bazhang> the bot has a bad memory of late
[06:36] <MrObvious> bazhang: That's it. Maybe someone can add it to the bot again?
[06:36] <edwin> brandon: it'll prompt you to install the second one too. go ahead and do that.
[06:36] <MrObvious> bazhang: I would but I don't know how.
[06:37] <bod_> hey guys im bored and need a fun program to play with ,.,. any ideas?
[06:37] <htns> Flannel: I see, so it is recommended that I keep my webroot in /var/www instead of moving it to a different dir?
[06:37] <bazhang> MrObvious: well seeing as the bot master took it out...
[06:37] <Flannel> htns: Where were you thinking about moving it to?
[06:37] <MrObvious> bod_: You could try Supertux.
[06:37] <brandon> ok
[06:37] <n2diy> bod_: sabre
[06:37] <wyclif> bod_: tetris?
[06:37] <Flannel> bazhang: its because that page is missing
[06:37] <htns> Flannel: well I'm not going to do it now, but maybe in my home directory
[06:37] <bod_> MrObvious, n2diy : could uu explain them plz
[06:37] <htns> for example
[06:37] <ripdisk> dedi
[06:37] <bod_> wyclif, no thanks
[06:38] <ripdisk> are you still here?
[06:38] <MrObvious> bod_: It's a game.
[06:38] <dedi> ripdisk: yeah
[06:38] <wyclif> bod_ well, if you're not into games...
[06:38] <bazhang> bod_: dont listen to them frozen bubble is it
[06:38] <MrObvious> bod_: It's like Super Mario, but it's really cool.
[06:38] <n2diy> bod_: sabre is a shoot um up flight simulator.
[06:38] <edwin> brandon: the only thing that sucks is that youill have to restart your computer for changes to take effect. you'll know if it works because you'll here a "beep" when the login window appears -- unless your sound is muted of course
[06:38] <techno_freak> bod_, gturtle ;)
[06:38] <ripdisk> dedi, right before that other error i told you about comes up, it says something about acpi=force
[06:38] <bod_> n2diy, MrObvious  cheers getting them now
[06:38] <funkyFlash> hey guys, i have some stubborn files on a reiser3 fs that refuse to die
[06:38] <brandon> ok.
[06:38] <ripdisk> it says it must be turned on to use acpi or something
[06:38] <bod_> techno_freak, wots it do?
[06:38] <Darkmystere> omg this thing kreeps going gray rendering it unusuable..omg
[06:38] <brandon> ill be back if it doesnt wrk bwahahaha
[06:38] <Flannel> htns: If you're looking to do stuff in your homedir, you can use userdir, which is a module (and already enabled) that allows users to have their own web folders.  Put stuff in ~/public_html, make sure it (and public_html) are readable by all, and then you can browse them with http://site/~username
[06:38] <brandon> lol
[06:38] <MrObvious> brandon: lol
[06:39] <htns> I see, okay
[06:39] <edwin> brandon: come back and let us know if it works anyways
[06:39] <Darkmystere> ok bod can you catch me up
[06:39] <Darkmystere> i missed like 4mins worth of help
[06:39] <techno_freak> bod_, its a programming game for the kids..
[06:39] <htns> Well thx ^_^
[06:39] <Darkmystere> it kept going grey then white then grey then white
[06:39] <edwin> ubuntu doesn't have customers, but we like to take care of our own anyways
[06:39] <brandon> and if it does. ill be back for another question about HAL not initializing
[06:39] <funkyFlash> i have permission to kill them, but as i try to rm them, it responds "permission denied".  the files themselves are obv fubar, and 0 bytes.  the rest of the filesystem is healthy
[06:39] <bod_> techno_freak, im not a programmer ,.,. i no a little basic & python will that do?
[06:40] <brandon> ok, BRB
[06:40] <techno_freak> bod_, it will
[06:40] <bod_> techno_freak, kk will get it now ,.,. cheers
[06:40] <edwin> < programmer, but been out of the loop for a while
[06:41]  * MrObvious doesn't like programming and has tried
[06:41] <bod_> edwin: dunno how u do it,.,. python confuses me and its ment to be 1 of the easiest
[06:41]  * MrObvious prefers software support or networking issues
[06:41] <edwin> bod_, i friggin hate python, forced spacing and all..i'm a ruby guy
[06:41] <CK_L> i got 1 monitor and 1 tv , how can i make it display the same thing...
[06:41] <dedi> ripdisk: this sould not make any concern about booting up
[06:41] <ripdisk> ok
[06:41] <ripdisk> i'll keep trying
[06:42] <edwin> CK_L, are you on an intel card?
[06:42] <MrObvious> CK_L: What kind of TV?
[06:42] <MrObvious> If it's just a regular TV it's not worth it unless it's a HTPC.
[06:42] <bod_> edwin, python is cool,.,. considering the gnome and kde is written in python // or can be written in python ,m. dunno which
[06:42] <MrObvious> HPTC
[06:42] <CK_L> edwin: ATI FX5200
[06:42] <CK_L> MrObvious: normal TV
[06:42] <VvWolverinevV> hi, if i want to setup an application to run at startup that needs root permissions, how can i set that up?
[06:42] <Flannel> VvWolverinevV: which application?
[06:43] <VvWolverinevV> firestarter
[06:43] <MrObvious> CK_L: You mean NVidia FX5200? I have the same card on my downstairs machine.
[06:43] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, u need to write the script then give it 777 access then put it in the sessions menu
[06:43] <MrObvious> CK_L: Why a normal TV? It's not worth it at those horrible resolutions.
[06:43] <Darkmystere> Well Err Youtube is acting weird..
[06:43] <bod_> Darkmystere, why?
[06:43] <MrObvious> Darkmystere: You're acting weird. :p
[06:43] <edwin> bod_, some programs are written in python, not the de's themselves :P anyways, i tried, i mean really tried python, but the conventions irritated me too much.. ruby for me was way sexier, especially with code blocks and inline ruby
[06:43] <n2diy> VvWolverinevV: that isn't a real good idea.
[06:43] <VvWolverinevV> n2diy: why?
[06:43] <funkyFlash> any ideas?  the rm that couldn't?
[06:44] <bod_> n2diy,  i wrote start up scripts ,.,. they work fine
[06:44] <MrObvious> funkyFlash: Lol
[06:44] <edwin> funkyFlash, try sudo rm
[06:44] <n2diy> VvWolverinevV: root is for doing admin stuff, not day to day stuff.
[06:44] <Flannel> VvWolverinevV: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firestarter
[06:44] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: how do i give 777 access?
[06:44] <MrObvious> !chmod | VvWolverinevV
[06:44] <ubotu> VvWolverinevV: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[06:44] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, have u written the script u want to load at start-up?
[06:44] <Darkmystere> Lol well is this a good thing the description says this:
[06:45] <wyclif> need help installing openssh.  unpacked the tarball to /tmp, did ./configure + make + make install, still no openssh
[06:45] <Darkmystere> WARNING: Installing this Ubuntu package causes the Adobe flash plugin to be downloaded from www.adobe.com.
[06:45] <funkyFlash> edwin, i have the permission to nuke them, i own the files and i have rw perms on them
[06:45] <funkyFlash> the files are fubar'd
[06:45] <n2diy> bod_: yes, but you bypassed your security.
[06:45] <CK_L> MrObvious: yup nividia fx5200 brand ATI
[06:45] <bod_> Darkmystere, yer thats good!
[06:45] <MrObvious> Darkmystere: If Flash works don't install the update.
[06:45] <wyclif> everything to the defaults
[06:45] <Flannel> wyclif: Whats wrong with the openssh in the repositories?
[06:45] <bod_> n2diy, only to run a program u wrote
[06:45] <edwin> wyclif, any reason you aren't using the repos? they too out of date?
[06:45] <Darkmystere> Ive already did this fix
[06:45] <wyclif> i tried that, but could not grab it
[06:45] <bod_> Darkmystere,  dunno then ,.,. sorry
[06:45] <Flannel> wyclif: What error did you get?
[06:45] <wyclif> edwin flannel i could not grab them
[06:45] <edwin> wyclif, also, what output are you getting when you try to configure, make, make install?
[06:45] <Darkmystere> i cant even play a simple game like Battelon says i have 0.0.0 installed
[06:46] <MrObvious> CK_L: Uhh no. ATi and NVidia are opposite companies. ATi would never make an NVidia card (unless I've never heard of this one before?).
[06:46] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: isn't it just "/usr/sbin/firestarter"?
[06:46] <ripdisk> dedi, i don't know, i think i'm going to give up
[06:46] <edwin> wyclif, you'll need the dependencies along with the DEV(EL) versions of them in order to compile
[06:46] <wyclif> edwin give me a sec and i might paste it
[06:46] <MrObvious> VvWolverinevV: What kind of script is it?
[06:46] <AtheistPope> could anyone tell me after a clean install, why I'm not able to install Wine? running ubuntu for amd64.   the add/remove utility wont even let me checkmark the program
[06:46] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, wot do u wanna make run at start-up?
[06:46] <MrObvious> bod_: You could learn bash scripting.
[06:46] <n2diy> bod_: I wrote!? :) Ok, so the crackers can't crack your program?
[06:46] <Flannel> wyclif: Are you connected to the internet while trying this?  Really, the repos are what you want to go with.
[06:46] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: the firewall
[06:46] <CK_L> MrObvious: mine is ATI brand FX5200
[06:46] <wyclif> Flannel: YES
[06:46] <Darkmystere> Well my problem is that Youtube videos are too small really just all of the options are smushed together
[06:46] <edwin> wyclif, also you'll need the package "build essential" anyways, i'll wait for you to get back
[06:46] <CK_L> ^.6
[06:46] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, firewall boots anyway doesnt it?
[06:46] <MrObvious> CK_L: Whatever.
[06:47] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: i don't think so
[06:47] <pvl1> wats d-bus?
[06:47]  * MrObvious prepares for bad foot odor because of MrObvious taking off shoes after working hard for a few hours
[06:47] <edwin> btw, is there a paste channel for ubuntu? so that main chat doesn't get cluttered?
[06:47] <bod_> n2diy, so someones gonna break into my computer and stop a script from loading amarok
[06:47] <wyclif> edwin thanks i wondered if I was missing a package
[06:47] <Flannel> wyclif: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?  And which method did you use to install? Desktop or Alternate CD? (or server CD perhaps?)
[06:47] <CK_L> MrObvious: so how to make it display on monitor and tv
[06:47] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: i don;t get the icon in the top panel
[06:47] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i got flash installed somehow, it works, but i know i had a problem with Firefox telling me i was missing plugin. after about 10 tries it went in
[06:47] <bazhang> !paste > edwin
[06:47] <wyclif> Flannel: gutsy via CD
[06:47] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, can u run the firewall from terminal?
[06:48] <MrObvious> CK_L: What outputs does your video card have?
[06:48] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Ubuntu 64 bit?
[06:48] <Flannel> wyclif: which CD?  And please pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list)
[06:48] <misslecommander> MrObvious: 32, the flash issue only on 64 ?
[06:48] <wyclif> flannel will do, need a few secs
[06:48] <bod_> misslecommander, yer flash & 64 = problems
[06:48] <CK_L> MrObvious: same like your fx5200 i think
[06:48] <misslecommander> MrObvious: ok
[06:48] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: yes, but i get the same error about insufficient priveleges
[06:48] <MrObvious> CK_L: Is it VGA and DVI? If so you can get some kind of converter for like DVI -> RGB or VGA -> RGB.  Try that.
[06:49] <n2diy> bod_:  I don't know, but if the do, and it is running as root... Compared to the same program running under bod_? You just lost your primary level of security, you might as well be running Winders.
[06:49] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Nevermind. It's probably something else.
[06:49] <MrObvious> !flash | misslecommander
[06:49] <ubotu> misslecommander: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[06:49] <dedi> ripdisk: i was at the same stage on a debian installation, after 20 hours i gave it up to boot into the live cd
[06:49] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[06:49] <bod_> VvWolverinevV,  wotever command ur using to load the firewall from terminal ,.,. put sudo infront of it
[06:49] <n2diy> *the/they
[06:49] <edwin> !paste > bazhang
[06:49] <misslecommander> VvWolverinevV: i ad to do something with chmod to install Real Player 10 in .bin format, but now i cant uninstall it, or dont know how
[06:49] <bod_> n2diy, gd point ,.,. *Quick* done ,.,. changed to 775
[06:49] <bazhang> thanks edwin! :}
[06:50] <brandon> edwin, it didnt work
[06:50] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Real Player sucks. Sorry
[06:50] <n2diy> bod_:   :)
[06:50] <edwin> brandon: ok, give me a second, i'm gonna fetch you a guide
[06:50] <fparis> is there currently java support problems in 64? i cant seem to run apps when i installed the icedtea..... also i still have typing problems lingering.. when i type something its jerky at times and sometimes holds the current letter and lags any thoughts anyone?
[06:50] <MrObvious> misslecommander: In the directory is there a README file?
[06:50] <misslecommander> MrObvious: no sorry about it, it was my only alternative to WMP, i dont like RP either
[06:50] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: ahh ok, now i get a password prompt, but better than an error
[06:50] <bod_> MrObvious, realplayer was the best microsoft application ever!!!!!!!!!!
[06:50] <wyclif> Flannel: thanks for the pointers.  working on it...
[06:50] <brandon> ok
[06:51] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, password prompt means u need to be privilidged to run the program ,.,. just enter ur password and the command will work
[06:51] <MrObvious> bod_: You're flaming me about an application which sucks. At least there are a few decentones.
[06:51] <edwin> brandon, there are a few more things i could step you through, but i think this would be faster, lol: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller
[06:51] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i installed it something like /home/username/installs/realplayer... i just put the sh script in /bin which is what i was suggested to do
[06:51] <funkyFlash> say guys, i have some 0 byte files that won't die when i try to remove them.  i have the permission to remove them, but it responds with "permission denied"
[06:51] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: so ill have to enter my password at login?
[06:51] <bod_> MrObvious,  wot part of realplayer sucks?????
[06:51] <misslecommander> MrObvious: it was giving me problems, now i cant uninstall the dumb thing
[06:52] <MrObvious> bod_: I've hated it from day 1, back when I used Windows 98 like 10 years ago.
[06:52] <bazhang> bod_: offtopic
[06:52] <bod_> VvWolverinevV, unless u give the file the right permissions ,. yes
[06:52] <brandon> ok
[06:52] <brandon> thx
[06:52] <jbuncher> funkyFlash, have you tried booting to recovery mode and deleting them from there?
[06:52] <cappicard> hrmm... why did ubuntu remove the video.x file? qemu-ppc does not run without it
[06:52] <misslecommander> MrObvious: if the moving shell script to /bin works, it stays
[06:52] <MrObvious> misslecommander: You know how the rm command works?
[06:52] <edwin> may even have your laptop listed on there, brandon ;_
[06:52] <CK_L> MrObvious: vga to my monitor dvi to my tv then how can i configure?
[06:52] <edwin> ;-)*
[06:52] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: fair enough
[06:52] <bod_> MrObvious,  i suggest u try the new gold release on a windows box b4 u diss it ,.,. it is really gd m8
[06:52] <brandon> reallr...
[06:52] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: thanks
[06:52] <funkyFlash> i haven't, however, these are on a drive that isn't system.  it's worth a shot
[06:53] <misslecommander> MrObvious: if someone is a nebie at linux, that would be me. i know windows up and down, but this is Mars, compared to Venus
[06:53] <MrObvious> CK_L: Just work with dual monitors and the NVidia driver. IDK how to do it from there but you'll get the idea. You'll have to set the second resolution probably manually.
[06:53] <edwin> bod_, plain curiousity..is that free/ i mean, usually on windows, gold means "pay me b****!"
[06:53] <edwin> and that / should have been ?*
[06:53] <funkyFlash> i unmounted the drive, forced a "fix fixable", and remounted, and still no dice
[06:53] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Ok. So you want to delete realplayer right?
[06:53] <jbuncher> funkyFlash:  It's just a suggestion, I haven't done anything with reiser before.
[06:53] <bod_> edwin, 100% free!!!
[06:53] <funkyFlash> i appreciate it.  shoulda gone with ext3...
[06:53] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: not true, i didn't have to re-enter my password ;)
[06:54] <MrObvious> funkyFlash: I've never used Reiser. :\ I've used Linux for a while now and never have touched it. Maybe I should? :\
[06:54] <edwin> bod_, anything is better than wmp, lol
[06:54] <MrObvious> lol
[06:54] <bod_> VvWolverinevV,  do it again in 15 mins and u will ,.,. sudo gives u root privilidges for 15 mins
[06:54] <bod_> edwin,.,.lol
[06:54] <funkyFlash> no, mrobvious, you shouldn't
[06:54] <CK_L> MrObvious: do i need install ATI driver?
[06:54] <funkyFlash> lol
[06:54] <misslecommander> MrObvious: if what i did fixes it, no. i redirected Firefox to look to the script file in /bin instead of /home/usdername/..... so on..  if you know how i can remove it, please post
[06:54] <Flannel> sudo caches your password for 15 minutes, it doesn't give you root perms for 15 minutes
[06:55] <VvWolverinevV> bod_: oh :(
[06:55] <CK_L> MrObvious: i use mplayer to watch rm and rmvb file it fine for me , because i cant solve realplayer problem :(
[06:55] <bod_> Flannel, sorry ,.,. misconception
[06:55] <brandon> edwin, well my gateway isnt on here... i will keep reading though
[06:55] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i save log files on things like that, so i can acces them if i need to, i have tons of logs
[06:55] <bod_> CK_L, wot realplayer probs?
[06:55] <MrObvious> misslecommander: You'll need sudo access from the terminal. You probably created a symbolic link (ln -s) a while back in sudo which is like a shortcut.
[06:55] <AtheistPope> could anyone tell me after a clean install, why I'm not able to install Wine? running ubuntu for amd64.   the add/remove utility wont even let me checkmark the program
[06:55] <MrObvious> CK_L: I like mplayer much better too.
[06:56] <edwin> brandon: i think you may have to edit  the X11/xorg.conf file...gimme a sec and i'll fetch the exact line i'm talking about
[06:56] <CK_L> bod_: it cant play smoothly keep stack
[06:56] <ripdisk> dedi: i would try a mini installer but i can't get the unbuntu on this pc to burn CDs
[06:56] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i believe intinially i used chmod &^&*&& bunch guru stuff, from .bin file
[06:56] <MrObvious> AtheistPope: Run 32 bit I think. But there might be a workaround I'm not sure. Try the wiki and search for wine 64 bit
[06:56] <brandon> ok....
[06:56] <bod_> CK_L, r u using the windows version via wine?
[06:56] <dedi> ripdisk: which burn app you tried?
[06:56] <ripdisk> all of them
[06:56] <ripdisk> lol
[06:56] <ripdisk> including gnome baker
[06:57] <ranjhana> How can I boot to a command line instead of the GUI on a fresh install of 7.10? It's selecting the wrong video mode (had to use the alternate installer since the default installer has this problem too) and I can't see anything.
[06:57] <misslecommander> MrObvious: its working as of now, but if it gives me any more trouble, it is gone, and staying gone
[06:57] <ripdisk> and all the ones that came with it
[06:57] <CK_L> MrObvious: now monitor and tv problem , too bad
[06:57] <ripdisk> it just says to insert a blank cd
[06:57] <AtheistPope> MrObvious: I checked the wiki but i'll look some more i guess
[06:57] <mojo> I have a weird audio problem.  Having 2 audio cards (mobo/nvida and creative audigy2), sometimes the ALSA designations flip-flop them between which is hw:0,x and hw:1,x.  I run Gutsy AMD64.  This last time left FLASH audio going to the mobo sound but I want to direct it to the Audigy2.  How do I specify which audio out the flash plugin uses?  ps - ffox64 with 32bit flash plugin via nswrapper.
[06:57] <ripdisk> however, it reads CDs just fine
[06:57] <dedi> semms you a user like me.. with a lot of uncommon problems :D
[06:57] <funkyFlash> ripdisk: i've had the most luck with k3b.  even tho it's a kde app, it seems to be the most solid
[06:57] <CK_L> bod_: no i use realplayer for linux version
[06:57] <Flannel> AtheistPope: Try going through synaptic instead of add/remove (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager) and be sure to hit "Reload" first
[06:57] <Squal> Question: Using a new burn of Gutsy 7.10 LiveCD, I'm trying to transfer all the files on the computer's NTFS partition onto a new Vista box on the other end of the home network (all wired). Sysmon says I'm maxing out at 190-210 KB/s. The integrated NICs on both PCs are 10/100/1000, and the two switches in the middle are 10/100. Where do I need to start re: troubleshooting? At this speed, It'll be a week before I'm done the transfer
[06:57] <funkyFlash> i have a really fickle burner, and i seem to make the fewest coasters with k3b
[06:57] <CK_L> bod_: install from apt-get
[06:57] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Hmm. I'm getting tired sorry lol. I'm ready for bed now :|. If it were me I would just remove any references to RP and just use mplayer.
[06:57] <edwin> brandon: good news and bad news
[06:57] <AtheistPope> Flannel: i'll try that
[06:57] <xen_> Hi there could i please get some help with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673786
[06:57] <misslecommander> MrObvious: i got mu gui twice the speed it was earlier, just removing junk i dont need, i rebbot, its fast! like it should be.
[06:57] <brandon> ok...
[06:57] <bod_> CK_L, personally i suggest using wine and the windows version,.,. cause u get the cool gui aswell,.,. and it just works
[06:57] <edwin> brandon: good news, i found the file you need to edit and what you need to edit
[06:58] <_c> i installed xmlto. that required apache, somehow. ubuntu actually started apache like a complete idiot. uninstalling xmlto doesn't seem to make aptitude realize that apache isn't needed anymore, even thoug i say to remove useless dependencies. how to fix?
[06:58] <brandon> bad news is u dont know what i need to put in the edit??
[06:58] <misslecommander> MrObvious: its on its last trial, then it goes to removal hell
[06:58] <brandon> lol
[06:58] <edwin> brandon: bad news: you having a gateway, i'm not sure what you need to put on the second line
[06:58] <CK_L> bod_: i perfer use virtualbox to install xp
[06:58] <brandon> lol
[06:58] <misslecommander> MrObvious: night
[06:58] <funkyFlash> squal, are you using ntfs-3g?
[06:58] <bod_> _c, use synaptic,. search for apache and mark for complete removal
[06:58] <Squal> funkyFlash: I suppose... I"m using whatever comes by default in the GUtsy liveCD
[06:58] <brandon> wow.... yet another fun and late night for me huh??
[06:58] <brandon> lol
[06:58] <stefano_> how can i start a program on another machine with a shortcut? (instead of connecting via ssh and starting it seperately)
[06:58] <edwin> !paste > brandon
[06:58] <funkyFlash> oh, sorry.  i'm slow.
[06:58] <misslecommander> it can sit there and burn forever, i never liked rp ever, ever
[06:58] <bod_> CK_L, ok ,.,. but if u dont wanna do realplayer i suggest amarok
[06:59] <MrObvious> misslecommander: Basically if you use the rm command as sudo (rm is a deleting files command so be careful with what you type) you'll be able to get somewhere. If you want to find traces of it you can do the following: cd / && sudo find | grep real (change directory to / and then as root find stuff and then parse the results for the term real).
[06:59] <edwin> brandon: did you get that paste?
[06:59] <MrObvious> G'night
[06:59] <Flannel> _c: you said you wanted xmlto, Ubuntu installed apache because it needed it.  Its not stupid
[06:59] <misslecommander> it still stinks
[06:59] <xen_> Hi there could i please get some help with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673786
[06:59] <funkyFlash> i know, this is the default answer, but do you know what condition the drives are in?  fragmentation, in need of a disk check?
[06:59] <_c> Flannel: *starting* apache without permission is nuts.
[06:59] <CK_L> amarok nice? i will try later
[06:59] <misslecommander> noted, thank you
[06:59] <edwin> brandon: obviously you'll change the "=dell-m42" to your model
[06:59] <Flannel> _c: apache starts by default when you install it.
[06:59] <brandon> paste did not work
[07:00] <gobbles414> Hi all: I am trying to solve how to make system-wide keyboard shortcuts to control VLC in Ubuntu. I need to know what to put in gconf-editor => metacity => keybinding_commands. For example, vlc --extrashort-jump-size -5 is for a five second rewind. It opens a new VLC window, but I want the command to execute on a currently playing file. Can anyone help?
[07:00] <bazhang> xen_:  a short description in channel would be helpful; not everyone is using x
[07:00] <wyclif> CK_L: amarok works well for me
[07:00] <Squal> FunkyFlash - no, but have no reason to suspect problems - they've worked fine under native windows environments
[07:00] <edwin> shoot, ok
[07:00] <bod_> wyclif, amarok,. just works,.,. its gr8
[07:00] <brandon> edwin, pastebin.com works well also
[07:01] <xen_> bazhang sorry, im wondering if i can get my WPA PSK wireless to connect automatically each time i start up my pc without having to type in loads of commands into the terminal with each reboot
[07:01] <funkyFlash> ok.  well, i can't see what might by botching it, but i'd test each part of the chain individually.  such as, try copying a large file onto the same disk, so you're reading and writing.
[07:01] <funkyFlash> if that's slow, then the disk/file system/linux ntfs driver is to blame
[07:01] <xen_> bazhang like a start up script or something
[07:01] <misslecommander> xen: i need to do that on occassion, i would like to know the same
[07:01] <edwin> brandon: open a terminal (alt+F2 > gnome-terminal) and type : sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[07:01] <ranjhana> How can I boot to a command line instead of the GUI on a fresh install of 7.10? It's selecting the wrong video mode (had to use the alternate installer since the default installer has this problem too) and I can't see anything.
[07:01] <ripdisk> wow
[07:01] <xen_> because otherwise its a real pain to do this each time i reboot
[07:01] <funkyFlash> elsewhere, i may blame network cables/network driver/network switch
[07:01] <ripdisk> k3b works
[07:01] <ripdisk> i'm really shocked
[07:01] <Squal> FunkyFlash - windows-windows filetransfers work fine, but I guess I could test whether it's a samba issue by setting up an FTP server
[07:02] <bod_> ranjhana, ctr+alt+F1 i think ,.,. dont hold me to it though
[07:02] <funkyFlash> how did you share the volume from samba?
[07:02] <Flannel> Squal: Make sure you're not playing any media on the Vista box
[07:02] <gobbles414> Hi all: I am trying to solve how to make system-wide keyboard shortcuts to control VLC in Ubuntu by using the gconf-editor => metacity => keybinding_commands tool. Can anyone help?
[07:02] <MrObvious> xen_: I just use Gnome's network icon thingy in the corner, choose my SSID, then it remembers encryption keys with the keyring manager.
[07:02] <funkyFlash> aye
[07:02] <xen_> im using kubuntu
[07:02] <ranjhana> bod_: At what point during bootup? Or wait until the system loads and then do that so it kicks me back to a command line?
[07:02] <funkyFlash> or, anything else that would make the vista box seek to other parts of the drive
[07:02] <edwin> brandon, you got that file open?
[07:02] <xen_> pure kde, without gnome
[07:02] <MrObvious> xen_: wi-fi radar
[07:02] <xen_> i dont want gnome either
[07:02] <xen_> lol
[07:02] <brandon> yea
[07:02] <misslecommander> xen: i have it so i use Network Monitor, then click configure, and connects right away, but dont know how i got to that point. i still need to use terminal from time to time
[07:03] <xen_> wifi radar is not the one, ive used that before
[07:03] <xen_> network monitor does not support WPA PSK lol
[07:03] <jon__> ranjhana: hit 'e' on the line that says kernel when you get to the grub boot menu and add ' single', then hit 'b' to boot -- you'll go to single user mode
[07:03] <Squal> Flannel - the Vista box is loaded down right now with a game :) HOWEVER - the transfer rate is too consistant (190-210 KB/s) to be a CPU limitation, and the destination is a quad core
[07:03] <bod_> ranjhana, not sure i think while grub is booting ubuntu ,.,. im not sure really ,. just remember reading something like that
[07:03] <bkar> ranjhana-> is the install completed?
[07:03] <xen_> well not in kubuntu 7.10 it doesnt
[07:03] <CK_L> now i got problem is i don tknow how to make monitor and tv display together
[07:03] <edwin> brandon, go to the end of that file and add options snd-hda-intel model=
[07:03] <MrObvious> I forget which command it is to launch Gnome's network icon thingy.
[07:03] <bazhang> !info nm-applet
[07:03] <ubotu> Package nm-applet does not exist in gutsy
[07:03]  * MrObvious really needs sleep
[07:03] <misslecommander> MrOvious: thats just it, it connects to AP, but it forgets my encry and key
[07:03] <xen_> im using kde, no gnome,
[07:04] <funkyFlash> if you haven't already, squall, i'd try connecting via gnome's built in smb dealie, as opposed to setting up a share.  so, smb://vista-box/share-name
[07:04] <edwin> after the = sign, type your model... (this is where the badnews comes in)
[07:04] <xen_> i dotn want to have to use gnome either
[07:04] <Flannel> Squal: Vista throttles bandwidth though stupidly when you're playing audio.  That game may very well be what's causing it.
[07:04] <funkyFlash> (entered into the address bar of a file manager window)
[07:04] <misslecommander> MrOvious: simple enough to click configure and do it that way, but would be nice to auto
[07:04] <ranjhana> bkar: yes, i installed through the alternate installer because the default one wouldn't work due to this issue
[07:04] <Squal> Flannel - they hook their audio subsystem up to their networking subsystem????
[07:04] <Squal> Flannel - sounds amusing
[07:04] <edwin> brandon, logic would tell me that this should be "gateway", but intuition tells me that it's going to be more complicated than that
[07:04] <bkar> ranjhana-> are you now booted on this newly installed ubuntu?
[07:04] <bazhang> Squal: yup
[07:04] <MrObvious> xen_: You could always make a script that loads on startup.
[07:04] <gobbles414> :P I am trying to solve how to make system-wide keyboard shortcuts to control VLC in Ubuntu. I almost have this problem solved. I just need help from someone who knows the command line a little better than I do! :'(
[07:04] <misslecommander> oh that would be nice
[07:05] <Squal> FunkyFlash - k, thanks
[07:05] <xen_> that would be lovely, but i dont know how to write scripts etc
[07:05] <MrObvious> !info network-admin
[07:05] <ubotu> Package network-admin does not exist in gutsy
[07:05] <funkyFlash> squal, for the sake of argument, what if you booted the vista box off a live cd as well?  or booted the vista box in safe mode?
[07:05] <xen_> infact thats exactly what im after, a startup script
[07:05] <misslecommander> xen_: yes that would be excellent
[07:05] <MrObvious> xen_: You could try gnome-system-tools maybe?
[07:05] <Starnestommy> xen_: use /etc/rc.local?
[07:05] <Flannel> Squal: There were a bunch of articles about it a few months (er, maybe more than a few months now) ago.  Google around for them.
[07:05] <n2diy> gobbles414: have you looked at man loadkeys?
[07:05] <xen_> hence: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673786
[07:05] <ranjhana> bkar: the kernel loads (with the splash page that I can see) but once it switches to the system (Gnome) my monitor stops working (
[07:05] <funkyFlash> i'm not very effective at problem solving, i'm more interested in the root of the problem than fixing it
[07:05] <xen_> sorry /etc/rc.local?
[07:05] <Demonho-br> hello.. i have ubuntu here , and 2 users. the first i created can do anything like use sudo  or other things that i need to type the adm password.. but my seccond account cant do it.. how can i change the group or allow sudo access to my seccond account ?  i dont know how to do it, i want my seccond account get the same permissions that my first account has... please help me
[07:05] <ranjhana> "input not supported"
[07:06] <xen_> MrObvious, no gnome,
[07:06] <bkar> ranjhana-> now try  ctrl+alt++  note the last + sign, this will cycle trhough the workable resolution, maybe use -  the other way
[07:06] <xen_> i dont want gnome, i use kde, pure kde
[07:06] <funkyFlash> demonho, add the other user to the admin group
[07:06] <Squal> FunkyFlash - if it comes to that, there are easier methods - working around the behavior of another user who doesn't want to relinquish the box atm
[07:06] <brandon> edwin, ok, let me look for a second
[07:06] <Starnestommy> xen_: I think /etc/rc.local is a shell script run at startup
[07:06] <Flannel> Demonho-br: add the second one to the admin group.
[07:06] <misslecommander> its in Help Manual, i just searched it Network-Admin tool
[07:06] <gobbles414> n2diy: Didn't know about that. I will look and be right back. Thank you...
[07:06] <MrObvious> xen_: Isn't there a startup thing in KDE? I forget. But just make a bin.sh script and put that header thingy and name it wi-fi.sh
[07:06] <misslecommander> thank you thank you thank you
[07:06] <funkyFlash> you can get at the user accounts via system > administration > users and groupd
[07:06] <Demonho-br> Flannel, how to do it ?
[07:06] <xen_> ah ok, but im no scripter, so even if i knew that, i dont know what or where to put the commands lol
[07:06] <xen_> i dont know the syntax etc
[07:06] <funkyFlash> squal - aye
[07:07] <Flannel> Demonho-br: users and groups like funkyFlash just said, or using usermod in the terminal.
[07:07] <MrObvious> xen_: Just do what you have in your post, only without the sudo
[07:07] <MrObvious> .
[07:07] <Demonho-br> Flannel, at the moment im on my seccond account what i can do is change user on terminal and type commands
[07:07] <bod_> xen_: scripting is as easy as writing the same commands u would use in the terminal
[07:07] <MrObvious> !sh
[07:07] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[07:07] <MrObvious> :|
[07:07] <ranjhana> bkr: is there a way to exit Gnome back to just a straight console?
[07:07] <xen_> i need the root access to perform those commands though no?
[07:07] <bkar> ranjhana-> now try  ctrl+alt++  note the last + sign, this will cycle trhough the workable resolution, maybe use -  the other way
[07:07] <rabiddachshund> Is there a command I can run to change the resolution through an ssh tunnel?
[07:07] <bod_> xen_ sudo
[07:07] <Demonho-br> Flannel, hmm.. usermod ?
[07:07] <funkyFlash> demonho, also worth noting, you'd have to do this as your privilleged user
[07:07]  * Abu-Abudrahman is away: not here
[07:07] <MrObvious> xen_: The script should do it as root if you save it in the right spot.
[07:08] <edwin> brandon; here's a more thorough guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530374
[07:08] <Flannel> Demonho-br: you can't do it from your second account.  But, ctrl-alt-f1, and log in with your first (ctrl-alt-f7 gets back to the GUI) and then : sudo usermod -G admin -a username
[07:08] <bkar> ranjhana-> once you know you have a good install, ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 gives you console
[07:08] <MrObvious> !away | Abu-Abudrahman
[07:08] <ubotu> Abu-Abudrahman: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.  (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.)  The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also  !Guidelines
[07:08] <brandon> edwin, on the bottom of my laptop it says Model: MX3414
[07:08] <MrObvious> !away > Abu-Abudrahman
[07:08] <ranjhana> bkar: thanks, reboot time and I'll try that out
[07:08] <funkyFlash> flannel > me
[07:08] <brandon> edwin, possible?
[07:08] <Demonho-br> Flannel, thank u.. u hacko :D
[07:08] <funkyFlash> lol
[07:08] <MrObvious> !init.d
[07:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about init.d - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <gobbles414>  n2diy: I'm sure that would have helped had I known more about the command line. Let me ask you this. How can I get vlc --extrashort-jump-size -5 to work with an open VLC window, instead of opening a new window?
[07:09] <edwin> brandon, no. it SHOULD be more generic than that. the reason i say that is that i'm on an hp dv9653cl, and all i had to put in was "hp'
[07:09] <funkyFlash> any newcomers have ideas on files that won't rm?
[07:09] <MirJa> funkyFlash, did you tried rm -rf ?
[07:09] <edwin> brandon, there is a command to find out what you should put there, but that command has escaped my memory: damend the luck huh? lol
[07:09] <funkyFlash> mirja, aye
[07:09] <gobbles414> funkyFlash: use sudo mv in the terminal?
[07:09] <brandon> lol, its ok
[07:09] <n2diy> gobbles414: sorry, what is an VLC?
[07:10] <rabiddachshund> I changed my resolution to something way too high for my monitor to accept and it took it. How do I change it back?
[07:10] <funkyFlash> ah, didn't try moving..... too rash to killl
[07:10] <funkyFlash> hold on
[07:10] <MrObvious> xen_: Just make the script with commands without sudo and stick it in /etc/rc.d and then make it chmod +x scriptname.sh
[07:10] <gobbles414> VLC is a media player
[07:10] <kkathman> has anyone experienced an nvidia card that seems to blink on and off periodically?
[07:10] <MirJa> funkyFlash, as root ?
[07:10] <MrObvious> xen_: After that reboot and test it out.
[07:10] <xen_> MrObvious ahh cool, ty, ill try that
[07:10] <funkyFlash> mirja, i own the files, so that shouldn't matter.  but i tried anyway, to no avail

[07:10] <n2diy> gobbles414: ah, sorry, I don't play with  VLC?
[07:11] <MirJa> funkyFlash, wierd, that command can even delete your " / "
[07:11] <stefano_> if i run gimp on a nother computer via ssh -X and use something like a blur filter, is the filter being calculated on the local or the remote machine?
[07:11] <Squal> Question: Is there a substantial downside to installing ubuntu in WUBI?
[07:11] <MirJa> funkyFlash, what error you get if you try to delete the file ?
[07:11] <Flannel> stefano_: All on the remote machine.  You get piped an image
[07:11] <stefano_> thank you
[07:12] <funkyFlash> "permission denied".  however, my user owns them, and has -rw on them
[07:12] <stefano_> Squal, no big downside, however i'd always recommend performing a normal install
[07:12] <gobbles414> n2diy: I think that I need to add a GENERIC modified to the command. Is there a modifier for the command line the tells programs to execute a command without opening a new window
[07:12] <misc--> hello, how can I find out which package a certain file is part of on my machine?
[07:12] <gobbles414> generic modifier...
[07:12] <kkathman> I recently had a video card fail (it was an FX5200), and I replaced it with an FX5500 with a bit more memory. That card comes up, but every oncein a while it just blanks out for about a second and comes back. But it does this rather often. Any ideas?
[07:12] <Flannel> misc--: dpkg -S file
[07:12] <misc--> Flannel: cool thanks
[07:12] <n2diy> funkyFlash: but what about the executable bit?
[07:12] <funkyFlash> flannel - that command has made me a happy camper many a times
[07:13] <MirJa> funkyFlash, well try to delete the file ( rm -rf file ) as root and then look for the error
[07:13] <n2diy> gobbles414: could be, I don't know?
[07:13] <rabiddachshund> Has anyone tried hooking their computer up to a tv using vga?
[07:13] <gobbles414> thanks for trying n2diy...

[07:14] <gobbles414> Can anyone here help me with a command line problem?
[07:14] <MirJa> funkyFlash, you are trying to delete the file as a USER, try removing it as ROOT
[07:14] <bazhang> sudo funkyFlash
[07:14] <funkyFlash> mirja, hdb is the USER that owns the file
[07:15] <Flannel> funkyFlash: and use pastebin if you don't mind
[07:15] <gobbles414> I need to add one thing to vlc --extrashort-jump-size -5 to make it open in an existing VLC media player window. But I don't know what it is that I should add to make it work.
[07:15] <funkyFlash> pastebin?
[07:15] <Flannel> !paste | funkyFlash
[07:15] <ubotu> funkyFlash: 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 (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:15] <gobbles414> Any command line experts here...?
[07:16] <brandon> edwin, anything?
[07:16] <funkyFlash> aye, it was only 4 lines, so i figured it wasn't that horrid
[07:16] <bazhang> !ask | gobbles414
[07:16] <ubotu> gobbles414: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[07:16] <n2diy> gobbles414: is there a vlcrc file in your home directorey?
[07:16] <rabiddachshund> what is the window manager for xubuntu? is it X?
[07:16] <bazhang> xfce rabiddachshund
[07:16] <Starnestommy> rabiddachshund: xfwm
[07:16] <xen_> erm Mr Obvious which rc.d folder? theres like 6 of them all from 1-6
[07:16] <xen_> :S
[07:16] <Starnestommy> which is part of xfce
[07:17] <n2diy> rabiddachshund: X86
[07:17] <Shuggle> would anyone here be able to recommend a good tool to 'backup' a dvd to xvid?
[07:17] <brandon> edwin i just looked up "gateway MX3414" on google and my laptop popped up
[07:17] <bazhang> !ripping
[07:17] <ubotu> For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar
[07:17] <MirJa> Shuggle, so you want to rip a dvd ?
[07:17] <rabiddachshund> does that handle resolution too?
[07:17] <gobbles414> n2diy: Yes, in a folder called .vlc. And yes, I have already consulted vlc --help
[07:17] <bazhang> oops
[07:17] <edwin> brandon: nothing. BUT, and i hate to say it, but try googling the command i gave you (that ended in model= ) and see if a forum comes up that tells you how to determine what model to put in
[07:18] <MirJa> Shuggle, try dvdrip
[07:18] <n2diy> gobbles414: I would guess .vlc is the place to play?
[07:18] <MirJa> !google | dvdrip
[07:18] <ubotu> dvdrip: Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com  -  Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux
[07:18] <edwin> ..then, you could also backup the original file, save the modified one with "model=gateway" , then cross your fingers and restart
[07:18] <bazhang> Shuggle: if you dont mind adding some kde stuff k9copy
[07:18] <MirJa> :-s
[07:19] <MirJa> damn these bot commands are different in each and every channel
[07:19] <twistedbeatfreek> hello?
[07:19] <MirJa> !google dvdrip
[07:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about google dvdrip - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:19] <edwin> gobbles414, man vlc should give you more detailed assistance
[07:19] <gobbles414> n2diy, I am actually trying to add the command using gconf-editor. None of the VLC files themselves need to be changed. I just need the correct syntax
[07:19] <edwin> twistedbeatfreek, yes?
[07:19] <twistedbeatfreek> anyone know much about beryl
[07:20] <bazhang> MirJa: that would be !info packagename though better to query the bot away from the channel
[07:20] <crimsun> brandon: pastebin the output from `lspci -nv && cat /proc/asound/card*/*codec*`
[07:20] <crimsun> brandon: then tell me the url
[07:20] <edwin> twistedbeatfreek, enough to say you should be using compiz fusion instead, lol
[07:20] <MirJa> aha, !info dvdrip
[07:20] <bazhang> twistedbeatfreek: that is now merged with compiz
[07:20] <MirJa> !info dvdrip
[07:20] <ubotu> dvdrip (source: dvdrip): perl front end for transcode. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.6-0.0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 1086 kB, installed size 2580 kB
[07:20] <crzedmonk> halp me!
[07:20] <n2diy> gobbles414: ok, roger that The syntax in the VLC files may give you a clue how to do that?
[07:20] <edwin> bazhang, which is why i said compiz fusion
[07:20] <twistedbeatfreek> is it really ?
[07:21] <bazhang> edwin: okay..and?
[07:21] <misslecommander> crzedmonk: you might want to say what you need help in
[07:21] <twistedbeatfreek> so i can get the cube desktop with compiz?
[07:21] <bod_> crzedmonk, wots up?
[07:21] <bazhang> twistedbeatfreek: yes
[07:21] <edwin> twistedbeatfreek, compiz fusion
[07:21] <bod_> !ccsm | twistedbeatfreek
[07:21] <ubotu> twistedbeatfreek: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[07:22] <lobo_nz> how to I get ssh-keygen2 for ubuntu from what I read ssh-keygen != ssh-keygen2
[07:22] <twistedbeatfreek> how do i do it ive been trying to make it a cube with a background and rotating like the videos on utube
[07:22] <brandon> edwin, http://pastebin.com/m64d314af
[07:22] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, u have to enable some of the plugins
[07:22] <gobbles414> edwin and n2diy: Have already looked in vlc man and vlc --help. I think that this is a GENERIC syntax question. In other words, the syntax that I am missing would work the same in Totem or MPlayer as it will in VLC. Let me ask this question a different way...
[07:23] <edwin> gobbles414, oh ok. listening
[07:23] <stefano_> how can i output the unix-timestamp in the terminal?
[07:23] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek,  make sure u have 'Desktop cube' and 'Rotate cube' enabled
[07:23] <gobbles414> What command line syntax allows a program to execute a command within an existing window of that program? For example, if I want to pause a song that is currently playing...
[07:24] <edwin> brandon, that makes my head hurt, post the output of "lshw" or "lspci -v" instead, please
[07:24] <twistedbeatfreek> bod: where are those options
[07:24] <MirJa> gobbles414, that depends on the programyou are using
[07:24] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, press alt+F2 then typr ccsm
[07:24] <bod_> gobbles414, let me have a lookage
[07:24] <MirJa> for instance in mplayer you can use " P " or spacebar to pause anything playing
[07:24] <Hotcoral_> good morning
[07:25] <gobbles414> MirJA and bod: Interesting... For example, isn't %f a generic command of some sort?
[07:25] <n2diy> ! backround
[07:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about backround - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:25] <crimsun> brandon: did you, in fact, try model=gateway?
[07:25] <MirJa> gobbles414, i dont know i dont use vlc
[07:25] <crimsun> brandon: that's what it is in the source code.
[07:25] <stefano_> how can i create a 100MB file with zeros on it?
[07:25] <stefano_> in it
[07:26] <Dr_willis> dd command can do that.
[07:26] <brandon> ok, will try it
[07:26] <Dr_willis> with the right options.
[07:26] <stefano_> k good
[07:26] <n2diy> gobbles414: start the program in backround mode, and then you can return to the command line and play.
[07:26] <gobbles414> There are a lot of programs in Ubuntu that have %f attached to their launcher commands....
[07:26] <crimsun> brandon: that quirk was added on Wed Oct 10 10:04:26 2007 +0200.
[07:26] <bod_> gobbles
[07:26] <gobbles414> n2diy: background mode, what is that?
[07:26] <Breakage> hi could someone help, i've just done a fresh install from ubuntu to xubuntu and tried to disable mouse accel though xset m on startup but it wont work for some reason. I've added "xset m 0 0" to autostarted applications but i can still feel mouse accel, mouse accel goes if i disable type the command in terminal. Also im using xchat gnome and as i type i keep getting system error beeps lol.
[07:26] <gobbles414> yest bod...?
[07:26] <bod_> gobbles414, wot exactly do u wanna do
[07:27] <brandon> edwin and crimsun, ok i did it, now what?
[07:27] <Aval0n-> guys I use mplayer via mythtv to play x264 content, even with stop-xscreensaver=1 in the .mplayer/config file I still get screen fade-to-black
[07:27] <Aval0n-> anyone know if there is a work around?
[07:27] <brandon> do I have to restart again?
[07:27] <brandon> lol
[07:27] <Aval0n-> ubuntu fiesty 7.10
[07:27] <crimsun> brandon: what did you do?
[07:27] <edwin> gobbles414: http://www.videolan.org/doc/vlc-user-guide/en/ch04.html the only thing i couldn't find there were commands for playback...looking right now
[07:27] <brandon> put gateway
[07:27] <miranda_> Cpudan80: That is correct. II ask only because when I configured cloneing, kubuntu ha this on. I tried setting it up manually,loading 2 cards, monitors and screens in my xorg file, but the secondary display simply does not work.
[07:28] <crimsun> brandon: and you only have one options snd-hda-intel line, correct?
[07:28] <bod_> gobbles414, wot r u trying to do?
[07:28] <brandon> 1 sec
[07:28] <edwin> brandon, yes  you have to restart :-(
[07:28] <crimsun> restarting isn't strictly necessary, but it's easiest.
[07:28] <gobbles414> I want to edit gconf-editor => apps => metacity => keyboard_bindings to allow me to create a hotkey for playback of files. The link that edwin provided a moment ago provides vlc --play-and-pause as an example
[07:29] <edwin> gobbles414, i would suggest mpd for this though. it allows you to control your music via command line, and even from a remote source
[07:29] <n2diy> gobbles414: wait, I'm having a brain cramp, and can't remember, let go ask in #bash.
[07:29] <gobbles414> when I use that command, a new window opens every time i press the hotkey
[07:29] <bod_> gobbles414,  if u wanna pause a music player for eg amarok ,.,. terminal-> tyoe amarok --pause
[07:29] <bod_> gobbles414, dunno bout hotkeys though,.,. i suppose u could write a script then link it to a hotkey
[07:30] <gobbles414> Actually, I am trying to use VLC for transcription work
[07:30] <edwin> gobbles414, so you're wanting global hotkeys, kinda like what xmms does, only for any media player, right?
[07:30] <brandon> crimsun, http://pastebin.com/m7b8678ec
[07:30] <bod_> edwin: il let u have this one,.,. my head hurts
[07:30] <michael___> hey ya'll I have a problem with moving some themes I dl to the /usr/share/themes file, how do I do that, says the access is denied and cant seem to do it in terminal with cp
[07:30] <crimsun> brandon: correct.
[07:30] <brandon> ok.
[07:30] <bod_> michael___, sudo cp
[07:30] <brandon> ill be back
[07:30] <n2diy> gobbles414: run (command) &, and then you can play at the CLI will the program runs.
[07:31] <michael___> bod aaaah
[07:31] <bod_> michael___, lol
[07:31] <gobbles414> All: I am trying to do this <http://www.freewisdom.org/en/all/entries/2007/11/04/audio_transcription_on/> except in VLC instead of xmms2
[07:31] <michael___> haha I'm new
[07:31] <bod_> michael___,  no probs
[07:31] <drgeb> I just got a diNovo edge keyboard and unable to use it on gutsy anyone tried this before?
[07:31] <gobbles414> pay close attention to the second part of CONTROLLING AUDIO
[07:31] <bod_> michael___, let me no if u have any other probs
[07:31] <twistedbeatfreek> can anyone help me make my desktop a 3d cube
[07:31] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, yes!
[07:32] <edwin> gobbles414, lol, frustrating i know, but we'll get there eventually, lemme check that link so i can get a better understanding of what you need, bro
[07:32] <jdecoste> hi
[07:32] <edwin> gobbles414, or sis, lol
[07:32] <jdecoste> anyone here has a multiseat configuration ?
[07:32] <gobbles414> Thanks edwin
[07:32] <twistedbeatfreek> hey bod ccsm doesnt work for some reason
[07:32] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, does ur compiz work?
[07:32] <twistedbeatfreek> uhh im not sure never used it
[07:33] <edwin> gobbles414, ok, so i read like 4 words in that post and i know your problem already
[07:33] <twistedbeatfreek> im very new to linux
[07:33] <edwin> gobbles414, partly anyways
[07:33] <gobbles414> great...
[07:33] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, ok thats a no then ,.,.lol,.,. follow these instructions,.,.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[07:33] <misc--> ok so I have the ubuntu ISO, but I need to install from a usb stick seeing I have no cdrom. I've read that you have to create the partitions on the usb stick manually then copy files from CD etc. Then I read on the ubuntu docs: Copy ISO image to any partition or flash drive which you have. Then change kernel params. So is it possible to simply copy the ISO to the usb stick with dd or somethign?
[07:33] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek, dont worry m8 ,.,. il walk u through it
[07:33] <sumigamer> I just installed blackbox but I cant login because it gives some error that the session lasted less than 10 seconds.  :O
[07:34] <Javid> !install > misc--
[07:34] <edwin> gobbles414, let me install vlc real quick so i can play around, this all should only take 10 min
[07:34] <n2diy> twistedbeatfreek: we're all newbies. :)
[07:34] <edwin> gobbles414, if someone else doesn't get back to you, by then, i'll have an answer
[07:34] <misslecommander> tha includes me
[07:34] <misc--> ok thanks to both
[07:35] <twistedbeatfreek> lol thats not comforting lol
[07:35] <gobbles414> edwin: Thank you so much! :-D
[07:35] <gobbles414> ...will wait for you
[07:35] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek,  wot isnt?
[07:35] <Viking667> yo. Got a question about how I can set aside a set amount of memory for AGP. The card has 64MB on, but something's not quite right in that even though X sees that the card has 64MB, there's some sort of buffer that only gets set to 8MB. has something to do with the GART.
[07:35] <edwin> gobbles414, christ, it's 42mb? maybe a bit more than 10 min then, lool
[07:35] <misslecommander> blind leading the blind, no tristed, there are still some vetrans lingering :)
[07:35] <n2diy> twistedbeatfreek: but, some of use are not as new as others are.
[07:35] <twistedbeatfreek> lol n2diy said were all newbs
[07:36] <bazhang> misc--: sadly it is more complicated than copying the iso over--details can be found at www.pendrivelinux.com
[07:36] <gobbles414> Edwin: I have rather fast broadband, so I tend not to notice. =-O
[07:36] <edwin> misslecommander, 2 heads are better than one, right? EVEN IF someone has to play the dog, lol
[07:36] <bod_> twistedbeatfreek,  but noobs hu no bits about certain things
