[12:37] <DB2> Hi, i'm running ubuntu, and it seemed it crashed in a previous update, and now X-Windows is borked, and wont start... any ideas ? i see the nvidia logo, then the screen goes back to text mode....
[12:38] <idontknow> orange banner?
[12:38] <Flannel> idontknow: yes, the little... 100 x 15px  orange image things
[12:38] <idontknow> oh the new topic image
[12:38] <sean> DB2: You tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg???
[12:38] <idontknow> or new post
[12:38] <Amaranth> DB2: in the terminal run 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE' and look for anything that might be wrong
[12:38] <PyroManiak> Why doesn't ubuntu use my 1600x1200 resolution when I change to the nvidia driver?
[12:39] <Amaranth> !fixres
[12:39] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:39] <Flannel> idontknow: no.  the orange image.  http://eb.sszones.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=313 has one  http://eb.sszones.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=305 has one  http://eb.sszones.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=241 has none
[12:39] <DB2> i think the error was that it didnt find any /dev/watcom /dev/lots_of_stuff_it_needs
[12:39] <Amaranth> I wish they hadn't jammed those together
[12:39] <idontknow> everything on that site
[12:39] <Flannel> Amaranth: and they should've specified what ? means ;)
[12:39] <idontknow> was working perfect
[12:39] <sean> Is there any new Desktop env's/Window managers out there?
[12:39] <idontknow> for like months
[12:40] <ardchoille> sean: http://xwinman.org
[12:40] <Flannel> idontknow: well, something changed.  Lamenting about it here isn't going to do anything.  It's not an ubuntu problem, suggest you take it up with the server people, or the forum people.  And as I already said, clean up your html.  complete pages don't go inside of table cells.
[12:40] <idontknow> with everything exactly how it is, file wise also i did a buncha testing im not just some dude lookin to be spoon fed k? i installed new default php-nuke and tested
[12:40] <idontknow> on same database
[12:40] <idontknow> same issue
[12:40] <idontknow> used new database
[12:40] <idontknow> same issue
[12:40] <taavi> how do i move multiple files in terminal?
[12:40] <KrisWood> would anyone be willing to help me figure out what's wrong with my inetd / ftp? I don't want to change ftp servers just because dapper is being finicky
[12:40] <idontknow> i am server admin and i've even reinstall'd the mysql server
[12:41] <KrisWood> All I need is to find the right inetd configuration
[12:41] <DB2> i think the error was that it didnt find any /dev/watcom /dev/lots_of_stuff_it_needs what can be done?
[12:41] <Flannel> idontknow: then it's not the database, not your server.  must be that other site, the one with the orange images.
[12:41] <Amaranth> DB2: those are fine
[12:41] <S0me1> taavi: mv file1 file2 /tmp
[12:41] <Amaranth> DB2: it just means you don't have a wacom tablet
[12:41] <idontknow> im not lamenting.. im asking for help i been workin for hours on this issue with many people just seeing if anyones got any clue wtf
[12:41] <Amaranth> DB2: if you got to the nvidia splash screen your problem isn't /dev/something missing
[12:41] <KrisWood> ftp    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd
[12:41] <DB2> ok, i'll reboot later, and try to do those stuff
[12:41] <KrisWood> anything look wrong with that?
[12:42] <Amaranth> KrisWood: No. I don't know what it does but it doesn't look wrong. ;)
[12:42] <thundr> idontknow, maybe you could try #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[12:42] <idontknow> the orange images are located on same site
[12:43] <delta> Is there a way to close a port?
[12:43] <idontknow> sure thundr, ill leave obvious no one has a clue what to do.. just like me.
[12:43] <S0me1> delta: yes
[12:44] <delta> S0me1, how? :)
[12:44] <S0me1> delta: netstat -nap | grep tcp
[12:44] <kallei> I'm having problems with my iptables, it seems to be installed somehow, but still not.  i can do  ptables -V
[12:44] <kallei> iptables v1.3.3
[12:44] <kallei>     , But  sudo iptables -L
[12:44] <kallei> FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
[12:44] <kallei> iptables v1.3.3: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
[12:44] <kallei>  .     I tried insmod ip_tables but that outputs:  insmod: can't read 'ip_tables': No such file or directory
[12:44] <S0me1> delta: then
[12:44] <Flannel> !paste
[12:44] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[12:44] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: thank you for all these suggestions about backup software unfortunately I haven't found anything suitable for my requirements :(
[12:44] <Flannel> kallei: don't paste here please.  use pastebin
[12:44] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: any other proposals?
[12:44] <KrisWood> this is quite frustrating...
[12:45] <kallei> I know i compiled my kernel with iptables, but im not sure i compiled it into the kernel or as a module, so i want to include it in the kernel. that is done with insmod right?
[12:45] <Amaranth> kallei: sudo modprobe ip_tables
[12:45] <linux_user400354> !vpn
[12:45] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[12:45] <KrisWood> I really wish there was more documentation about inetd
[12:45] <Amaranth> KrisWood: inetd is dead
[12:45] <kallei> Amaranth: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
[12:45] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: sure there is
[12:45] <Amaranth> kallei: Use the stock ubuntu kernel
[12:45] <S0me1> delta: look which port you want, it will show you which software use the port, then go to /etc/init.d/hp stop this is an example
[12:45] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: www.tldp.org
[12:45] <kallei> Amaranth:  No i dont want to
[12:45] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: No, sorry. Please tell me you're not looking for Time Machine.
[12:46] <KrisWood> linux_user400354, I mean for ubuntu, dapper seems to hate inetd
[12:46] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: what is Time Machine?
[12:46] <Amaranth> kallei: We don't have any idea what you did or didn't do to your custom kernel, it's hard to help. If I had to guess I'd say you forgot iptables support.
[12:46] <Jamie> Hey, anyone know how to make tvout work? i ahve an Nvidia Geforce 4 card.
[12:46] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: Oh, some OS X thing. Everyone has been saying 'Ubuntu needs this, please add it!' without even knowing how hard it would be.
[12:47] <kallei> Amaranth:  when running insmod ip_tables, do i have to stand in like the kernel src dir or something?  can i search for some files in the src dir to see if i included it as a module?
[12:47] <delta> S0me1, I see but this specific port doesn't show up with nestat; it does with firestarter though. And no application is listted ('unknown' instead)?!
[12:47] <KrisWood> ok I'll phrase it differently, does anyone know a way to get proftpd to start in dapper whenever I boot my machine without needing to type it into the command line?
[12:48] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: have you installed netkit-inetd ? there is not inetd by default.
[12:48] <Amaranth> kallei: I have no idea. I think you have to give it a full path to a ko file.
[12:48] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: well sort of ;)
[12:48] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: yes, i do it on my machine.
[12:48] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: but I need more advanced solution and I don't need so fancy interface (but to be honest I don't want cli only solution)
[12:48] <tony_> Anyone here able to answer a question about valknut? when searching for files second time around i get the same search performed all over again.
[12:48] <Amaranth> KrisWood: There is some file where you can drop in commands to be started but I can't find it.
[12:48] <delta> S0me1, I do have the ip which established the connection but I've no idea what it is.
[12:48] <KrisWood> linux_user400354, I had it installed in breezy, and then I upgraded, are you saying the upgrade would have removed it?
[12:48] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: you are better off with vsftpd though
[12:48] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: Use svn? :)
[12:49] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: I need to backup data from LAN with about 100 machines
[12:49] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: rsync?
[12:49] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: with resources mounted to ubuntu box with samba
[12:49] <KrisWood> bah, I really don't want to go back to vsftpd when my proftpd has been working satasfactorily for so long
[12:49] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: not that I know of. type `sudo apt-get install netkit-inetd` and see what happens
[12:49] <sean> Anyone using Enlightenment???
[12:49] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: I have never done any sort of backup that wasn't tar'ing up $HOME and burning it to a DVD. I have no idea how any of those things works, sorry.
[12:50] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: hmm rsync could be nice because I want to do initial backup and then backup only diff's
[12:50] <delta> Any idea S0me1?
[12:50] <JamieBE> Hi all, just a quick update on that xorg config problem
[12:50] <KrisWood> linux_user400354, yup, already the newest version
[12:50] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: ok no problem... thank you anyway
[12:50] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: you dont need that to get proftpd to boot on startup. use update-rc.d
[12:50] <KrisWood> linux_user400354, so you say you are running dapper and proftpd?
[12:51] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: but another thing is that I'm suprised that there is no such software already available
[12:51] <JamieBE> It turns out that deleting the .conf files in gdm and X11 and just letting X build new ones fixed the corrupt xorg.conf headers. I still have the refresh problem and will look into that later, thans all for your help
[12:51] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: oh, perhaps you want dirvish?
[12:51] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: I found bacula which is overcomplicated and doesn't support long filenames on windows
[12:51] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: it's a fancy wrapper around rsync, i guess
[12:51] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: so this is why it's not acceptable - but anyway I think that linux as
[12:51] <dystopianray> ubuntu has 64-bit openoffice builds now?
[12:51] <KrisWood> linux_user400354, can I use update-rc.d to restart it as well without starting the standalone proftpd in teh console?
[12:52] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: system for servers should have such software....
[12:52] <marcin_ant> Amaranth: back to google ;) thank you
[12:52] <stamen> hi
[12:52] <marcin_ant> dirvish
[12:52] <stamen> where I can find the last nvidia kernel and glx
[12:52] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: heh, backup stuff is a hard problem
[12:53] <demofilo> hello
[12:53] <stamen> version 1.0-8762
[12:53] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: No one solution can satisfy everyone.
[12:53] <Amaranth> marcin_ant: Everyone wants $PET_FEATURE to work. :)
[12:53] <jay> Does anyone know how the lovely ubuntu's screen-protection animations are produced? Using Java or OpenGL?
[12:53] <Amaranth> KrisWood: put proftpd in /etc/rc.local
[12:54] <Amaranth> jay: The screensavers?  OpenGL is a graphics technology.
[12:54] <Shinzetsu> docta_v: amen
[12:54] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: `sudo apt-get install bum`
[12:54] <stamen> so, can anybody help me
[12:54] <Amaranth> linux_user400354: that's for tweaking already existing startup scripts
[12:55] <Amaranth> stamen: Ubuntu 6.06 has the latest nvidia drivers
[12:55] <stamen> Amaranth: but the X says me that the versions are not the same, and X crash
[12:55] <stamen> Amaranth: the version for the Nvidia kernel is older than my driver
[12:55] <schnepfi> helloo, can anybody help me. i have got a problem with my usb soundcard
[12:56] <PyroManiak> Option "NvAGP" "3" <--- What does this do inside the xorg.conf
[12:56] <stamen> Amaranth: ant the X says to make them same
[12:56] <Amaranth> stamen: Oh, you're using edgy.
[12:56] <Amaranth> stamen: Switch to the nv driver and yell at nvidia to release new drivers.
[12:57] <Shinzetsu> Amaranth: tell that to ati ;-)
[12:57] <Amaranth> Shinzetsu: ati supports xorg 7.1 just fine
[12:57] <Pntkl> Hello
[12:57] <S0me1> delta: try know which server use the port
[12:57] <ag0ny> is someone using a WUSB54G V4 with WPA enbaled?
[12:57] <Amaranth> Shinzetsu: ATI is actually ahead of nVidia this time. :)
[12:57] <stamen> Amaranth: but I have the latest driver, and it was working till I had upgrade the linux kernel
[12:57] <Shinzetsu> Amaranth: I know but their drivers are baddd :\
[12:58] <S0me1> delta: you can use iptables
[12:58] <Shinzetsu> Amaranth: :O
[12:58] <Amaranth> Shinzetsu: That's not true at all, ATI's laptop support is much better.
[12:58] <Shinzetsu> Amaranth: okay :-)
[12:58] <Oni-Dracula> ibm lappy's for the win!
[12:58] <Oni-Dracula> now known as inovo
[12:58] <S0me1> delta: server = service
[12:58] <stamen> Amaranth: but I have the latest driver, and it was working till I had upgrade the linux kernel
[12:58] <Amaranth> stamen: You're using edgy, right?
[12:59] <Oni-Dracula> inovo lappy's love linux
[12:59] <Oni-Dracula> linux loves inovo lappy'
[12:59] <Oni-Dracula> s
[12:59] <arimo> Anyone who could help setting up SB Vibra16X for Xubuntu?
[12:59] <Amaranth> stamen: /join #ubuntu+1
[12:59] <Pntkl> tell me
[12:59] <Amaranth> Oni-Dracula: Do lenovo laptops use intel graphics?
[12:59] <stamen> Amaranth: what is edgy
[12:59] <Oni-Dracula> dunno, lets check!
[01:00] <Flannel> stamen: edgy is the development (read: not stable) version of ubuntu, that will be released in October
[01:00] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: this is what helped me to get no-ip dynamic dns software to start on its own. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto
[01:00] <arimo> Pntkl - was that for me?
[01:00] <ubuntu> hello everyone. when using fdisk, if i want to resize a partition (i've already shrunk the file system), deleting and recreating it is the way to go?
[01:00] <Amaranth> stamen: The development version of Ubuntu. If you don't know what it is you probably aren't using it. The problem you're having only occurs in edgy though, which is weird.
[01:00] <foo> Having some problems. fsck reports 150k files on my drive, but when I try to mount it... mount can't find the fs on the drive. Any ideas?
[01:00] <Amaranth> stamen: What, exactly, is the error message?
[01:01] <Amaranth> foo: What command are you using to mount it and what is the error message?
[01:01] <KrisWood> linux_user400354, I actually ended up doing something very similar just now for my proftpd, that's why I'd stopped talking heh
[01:01] <stamen> Amaranth: I must reset the X now, to tell what is it
[01:01] <Amaranth> stamen: wait
[01:01] <Oni-Dracula> Amaranth, they have ATI gfx
[01:01] <KrisWood> I'm just about to try out my little init.d script now :)
[01:01] <DJAdmiral> Is it possible to make a dual boot of Ubuntu and windoze with windoze being installed after ubuntu is installed?
[01:01] <Amaranth> stamen: X still works?
[01:01] <Flannel> DJAdmiral: yeah
[01:01] <Amaranth> Oni-Dracula: I don't want them then. :P
[01:01] <stamen> Amaranth:  the probloem is very strnage, because I am erinstaling the driver
[01:01] <DJAdmiral> Flannel: how so?
[01:01] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: it's a PITA.
[01:02] <Amaranth> !grub
[01:02] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:02] <Oni-Dracula> Amaranth, nvm...that's only the expensive one...the others are intel
[01:02] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: PITA?
[01:02] <foo> Amaranth: mount /dev/hdd1 /public .. error: VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev hdd1
[01:02] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: Pain In The A**
[01:02] <Flannel> DJAdmiral: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:02] <DJAdmiral> ah.
[01:02] <Amaranth> foo: ouch
[01:02] <Flannel> DJAdmiral: you just need to reinstall grub, assuming everything is still good partition wise.
[01:03] <foo> Amaranth: I just installed ubuntu... it said it never reformatted this drive. I have no idea why it would do this. fsck shows 150k files ... so how does it read those ?
[01:03] <stamen> an the X starts, but if I restart the PC, I must reinstall the the driver again and again
[01:03] <stamen> Amaranth: and I don't want to do this every time
[01:03] <DJAdmiral> Flannel: so I just install windoze as normal and re-install GRUB. correct?
[01:03] <Gu1> Right - let
[01:03] <Amaranth> stamen: Oh, you installed the driver manually? (didn't use the nvidia-glx package)
[01:03] <KrisWood> omg rofl
[01:03] <stamen> no
[01:03] <KrisWood> there was already a proftpd script in intit.d
[01:03] <Flannel> DJAdmiral: in theory ;)
[01:03] <KrisWood> init.d*
[01:04] <schnepfi> i have got a problem with my external soundcard, i havnt got any sound, any ideas?
[01:04] <Gu1> Let's try again... anyone who could help with setting up SB Vibra16 for Xubuntu?
[01:04] <Amaranth> stamen: How are you installing it?
[01:04] <stamen> Amaranth: I have installed nvidia-glx and nvidia kernel, and after that the driver from the web site
[01:04] <foo> Amaranth: Any ideas?
[01:04] <stamen> of NVIDIA
[01:04] <DJAdmiral> Flannel: I don't think I'll risk it. Any chance of getting windoze to work on VMWare or Qemu?
[01:05] <Amaranth> Gu1: Everything I can find says that card should work without doing anything.
[01:05] <TheGateKeeper> DJAdmiral: very wise decision :-)
[01:05] <linux_user400354> KrisWood: you better keep that website i gave you just incase what you are trying does not work
[01:05] <Amaranth> stamen: Ack!
[01:05] <greg> hi all
[01:05] <DJAdmiral> TheGateKeeper: Thank you! :)
[01:05] <KrisWood> OMG! I have resolved my issue all on my own without any help from anyone here or even from google!
[01:05] <stamen> Amaranth: ???
[01:05] <DJAdmiral> hi greg
[01:05] <KrisWood> The script didn't fix it
[01:05] <DJAdmiral> KrisWood: Congratulations!
[01:06] <KrisWood> in fact, I chucked my script because there was already one
[01:06] <Amaranth> stamen: driver from website == bad idea
[01:06] <foo> Amaranth: hm, I'll take that as a no :) Thanks anyways.
[01:06] <Gu1> Amaranth: I know... but it doesn't. ALSA website has installation instructions, but they fail since kernel source cannot be found...
[01:06] <stamen> but it works
[01:06] <schnepfi> another try.......my external soundcard doesnt work
[01:06] <Amaranth> foo: Nope, sounds like a broken partition
[01:06] <greg> how to know which files were installed for a package form the command line ?
[01:06] <squeljim> hey
[01:06] <DJAdmiral> TheGateKeeper: windoze me on VMWare or Qemu?
[01:06] <stamen> Amaranth: and all was working
[01:06] <KrisWood> the solution: When I upgraded to dapper it replaced my proftpd.conf with a version that used inetd instead of standalone
[01:06] <foo> Amaranth: how could fsck read the files? is there anyway to have fsck relabel it ext3?
[01:06] <stamen> Amaranth: till I have upgrade the linux kernel
[01:06] <KrisWood> all I had to do was change that line, then run the init.d script
[01:07] <squeljim> YES it works, i play counterstrike with ubuntu wow :D I am so happy
[01:07] <Amaranth> foo: I don't know, sorry.
[01:07] <stamen> Amaranth: to 16-686
[01:07] <Gu1> Amaranth: I know... but it doesn't. ALSA website has installation instructions, but they fail since kernel source cannot be found...
[01:07] <Amaranth> stamen: That's because the driver from the website doesn't update when you get a new kernel
[01:07] <DJAdmiral> squeljim: you mean winme on qemu works?
[01:07] <squeljim> nope
[01:07] <TheGateKeeper> DJAdmiral: never run either yet, so can't really advise you
[01:07] <squeljim> ubuntu + wine
[01:07] <stamen> Amaranth: so what to do
[01:07] <DJAdmiral> TheGateKeeper: Thanks anyway
[01:07] <DJAdmiral> squeljim: ah
[01:08] <stamen> Amaranth: to make all working properly
[01:08] <squeljim> + thoma.tff font -_-
[01:08] <DJAdmiral> In either case, I want to stay away from windoze as much as possible
[01:08] <stamen> squeljim: how did you play CS
[01:08] <TheGateKeeper> DJAdmiral: I use a caddy system with 2 different hard disc (now there's trust for you lol )
[01:08] <Amaranth> stamen: -16-686 doesn't exist
[01:08] <Amaranth> stamen: do you mean 2.6.15-26-686?
[01:08] <squeljim> stamen: how?!
[01:09] <DJAdmiral> the only reason I want to get windoze on this is so I can play Unreal Tournament: GOTY edition
[01:09] <stamen> Amaranth: my mistake, this is the kernel 2.6.15-26-686
[01:09] <DJAdmiral> but there is a linux version available as long as you have the GOTY cds, which I have so...
[01:09] <Amaranth> stamen: sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgl1-mesa-dri nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-686
[01:09] <DJAdmiral> there's just one tiny bummer.
[01:09] <Amaranth> stamen: run that, hopefully it'll trash the website install with a proper setup
[01:10] <stamen> Amaranth: ok 10x, I will try now
[01:10] <DarkMageZ> does anyone know how i can increase the buffer size for radio streams in gstreamer/rhythmbox?
[01:10] <stamen> Amaranth: lets hope all will work
[01:10] <stamen> Amaranth: :)
[01:10] <braintix> how do i run konqueror as su or somting so i can copy my backup to /var/www ?
[01:10] <Gu1> Amaranth: I know... but it doesn't. ALSA website has installation instructions, but they fail since kernel source cannot be found...
[01:10] <Amaranth> braintix: you have to run it from a terminal
[01:10] <TheGateKeeper> DJAdmiral: if you use qema you want the faster (proprietry) version, not sure what it is called
[01:10] <squeljim> stamen: latest wine, cp tahoma.ttf /drive_c/windows/font/ and install steam with wine steam.exe
[01:10] <braintix> noo :(
[01:10] <Amaranth> Gu1: URL to these instructions?
[01:11] <Gu1> Amaranth: a sec...
[01:11] <squeljim> it works :D
[01:11] <Amaranth> TheGateKeeper: qemu will not run games
[01:11] <stamen> squeljim: which version do you play, source?
[01:11] <squeljim> nope 1.6
[01:11] <Gu1> Amaranth: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Sound+Blaster+Vibra16X.&chip=sb16&module=sb16
[01:11] <Amaranth> TheGateKeeper: It barely runs Windows.
[01:11] <Goblyn> are there any programs available to list the physical conditions of the PC?
[01:11] <squeljim> top ?!
[01:11] <DJAdmiral> I have a 6 year old compaq presario. It has a synaptics touchpad, and my PS/2 mouse won't work when I connect it. So how do I make my PS/2 mouse work? I don't care if I don't have scrollmouse functionality. I don't even care if my touchpad won't work if I connect my PS/2 mouse, I just want it to work.
[01:11] <TheGateKeeper> Amaranth: I bow to your greater knowledge never used it :-)
[01:12] <Gu1> Amaranth: dmsg shows that the card is recognized correctly... but not found
[01:12] <braintix> Amaranth: is there no other way to do it im not stong in terminals
[01:12] <Amaranth> Gu1: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[01:12] <Amaranth> Gu1: copy/paste that to a terminal, don't type it out manually
[01:13] <Goblyn> are there any programs available to list the physical conditions of the PC?
[01:13] <squeljim> ubuntu rocks!
[01:13] <Gu1> Amaranth: a sec again
[01:13] <Amaranth> braintix: I don't think so.
[01:13] <squeljim> Goblyn: top ?!
[01:13] <Amaranth> braintix: But I don't use KDE, you might want to ask in #kubuntu
[01:13] <DJAdmiral> let me rephrase - me with laptop with touchpad. me no want touchpad, me want ps2 mouse, but ps2 mouse no work. help? :P
[01:13] <Goblyn> squeljim: huh?
[01:13] <lwizardl> hi
[01:13] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: you have a laptop with ps/2 ports? wow
[01:13] <squeljim> Goblyn: type top in terminal ?!
[01:14] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: yeah. 6 year old nostalgia.
[01:14] <Amaranth> Goblyn: What do you mean by physical conditions? temperatures?
[01:14] <PyroManiak> Any reason why my LCD wont go higher then 1400x1050 in linux?
[01:14] <Amaranth> !fixres

[01:14] <Goblyn> Amaranth: yes, temperature, current speeds and the like
[01:14] <Gu1> Amaranth: "Couldn
[01:14] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:14] <Amaranth> Gu1: ?
[01:14] <Gu1> Amaranth: "Couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r
[01:15] <Amaranth> Gu1: gah, i said copy/paste it :P
[01:15] <lwizardl> I have a pc running lts 6.06 lts and using kdm/kde for gui and now it's stuck in a login loop after amarok crashed, anyone know how to fix ?
[01:15] <Gu1> Did
[01:15] <Amaranth> Gu1: the backticks went away (`)
[01:15] <Gu1> Amaranth: go figure...
[01:15] <ardchoille> Gu1: How did you copy&paste and lose the backticks
[01:15] <ardchoille> lol
[01:15] <DJAdmiral> lwizardl: erm, use live cd to backup data and reinstall?
[01:15] <Amaranth> Gu1: They don't when I copy/paste from xchat-gnome to gnome-terminal. :)
[01:16] <Amaranth> lwizardl: login loop?
[01:16] <lwizardl> DJAdmiral, i've tried to mount the hd using a livecd and it won't mount just errors
[01:16] <Gyuszk> hi guys, can I mount .bin/cue images like ISO images? If not, what can i do with them? Can i convert them to ISO?
[01:16] <Gu1> Amaranth; I'm running Xubuntu - no gnome-terminal. At least yet :-)
[01:16] <Amaranth> lwizardl: Yikes, I think your hard drive died.
[01:16] <Gu1> Amaranth: typing rocks :-D
[01:17] <lwizardl> Amaranth, yes login screen i enter the info screen goes black and repeats
[01:17] <Wermut> lwizardl: Can you be more explicit, i.e. what error messages do you get.
[01:17] <DJAdmiral> lwizardl: do you hear sounds from your hard drive? strange scratching sounds?
[01:17] <Gyuszk> can I mount .bin/cue images like ISO images? If not, what can i do with them? Can i convert them to ISO?
[01:17] <lwizardl> Amaranth, I wouldn't be able to get to a login prompt if it did
[01:17] <Gu1> Amaranth: What woudl be the next step?
[01:17] <lwizardl> DJAdmiral, no
[01:17] <DJAdmiral> Gyuszk: There is a tool for linux called BIN2ISO which converts bin files into iso.
[01:17] <Amaranth> !info bin2iso
[01:17] <ubotu> Package bin2iso does not exist in dapper
[01:17] <Amaranth> hrm
[01:18] <Amaranth> !info bchunk
[01:18] <ubotu> bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (dapper), package size 12 kB, installed size 68 kB
[01:18] <DJAdmiral> there we go
[01:18] <Amaranth> Gu1: If you got that package installed start following the directions on that website, I guess.
[01:18] <DJAdmiral> Gyuszk: you want bchunk then.
[01:18] <void^> DJAdmiral: there's cdemu to mount it directly
[01:18] <DJAdmiral> !info cdemu
[01:18] <ubotu> Package cdemu does not exist in dapper
[01:18] <DJAdmiral> !cdemu
[01:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cdemu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:18] <Amaranth> lwizardl: perhaps run fsck on the partition from a livecd?
[01:18] <Gyuszk> thanks guys for answers
[01:18] <Gu1> Amaranth: K. Let's see...
[01:18] <void^> http://cdemu.sourceforge.net
[01:19] <DJAdmiral> void^: ah, thanks
[01:19] <Amaranth> lwizardl: otherwise ask in #kubuntu, I have no idea how KDM works
[01:19] <gorski> my tvtime doesn't scan chanels that i had before.
[01:19] <lwizardl> if I want to force delete a full directory how would i do it
[01:19] <DJAdmiral> Who here has made their own distro?
[01:19] <Amaranth> rm -rf /path/to/dir
[01:19] <lwizardl> I'm wondering if i'm out of space on the drive
[01:19] <DJAdmiral> lwizardl: rm -rf /dirname
[01:19] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: Why bother? :P
[01:19] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: you beat me to it lol
[01:19] <ardchoille> Amaranth: wowsers, you type fast :)
[01:20] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: for the learning experience.
[01:20] <Amaranth> ardchoille: 70wpm :)
[01:20] <DJAdmiral> archoille: either that or he's an AI bot with canned responses :P
[01:20] <ardchoille> Amaranth: o.O
[01:20] <Amaranth> unless i start making errors, takes my brain a minute to backtrack
[01:20] <ardchoille> DJAdmiral: lol
[01:20] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: I've been planning on turning ubotu in to something like that
[01:20] <Gu1> Amaranth: so far so good :-)
[01:21] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: an AI chatbot? lol
[01:21] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: A combination bayesian classifier + ALICE bot on top of ubotu's factoids
[01:21] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: ah, good ol' ALICE.
[01:21] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: Not for talking to, just asking questions.
[01:21] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: I could probably drop the ALICE part, it's not needed.
[01:21] <DJAdmiral> brb guys
[01:22] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: Basically the bayesian classifier figures out that 'Why does my LCD only go to 1024x768?' means 'fixres' and then the bot shows that factoid
[01:22] <PyroManiak> Ok, still not giving me my 1600x1200 resolution... no matter what resolution I pick, It ALWAYS got to 1400x1050.. which screws up the display
[01:22] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: nvidia?
[01:23] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: Yes
[01:23] <ardchoille> PyroManiak: Is this an LCD panel ?
[01:23] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: Does it work if you use the nv driver instead of the nvidia one?
[01:23] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: Works fine with "nv", but not with "nvidia"
[01:23] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: Congrats, you've found a bug in nvidia's driver. :/
[01:23] <jungsonn> back again with an upgrada erro :)
[01:23] <PyroManiak> Amaranth, is it known? lol
[01:24] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: I've found that if you try to set the resolution, log out, kill gdm (ctrl-alt-backspace), then login, it usually gives you the resolution you wanted.
[01:24] <jungsonn> anyone knows what this means?
[01:24] <jungsonn> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libofx2_10x1,3a3600000005dp-8690.8.0-3ubuntu8_i386.deb:
[01:24] <jungsonn> trying to overwrite `/usr/share/libofx/dtd/opensp.dcl', which is also in package libofx0c10
[01:24] <braintix> how do i copy a file or dir through terimal ?
[01:24] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: Known for ages and ever fixed.
[01:24] <DJAdmiral> back
[01:24] <Amaranth> jungsonn: Are you using non-ubuntu repositories?
[01:24] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: My screen works fine at that resolution, but my roomies laptop doesn't
[01:25] <jungsonn> i guess not i checked all breezy packages
[01:25] <TheGateKeeper> braintix: http://www.ss64.com/bash/
[01:25] <Amaranth> jungsonn: Uninstall libofx0c10?
[01:25] <braintix> thx TheGateKeeper
[01:25] <DJAdmiral> braintix: you want to go to the linux survival course for the terminal
[01:25] <TheGateKeeper> braintix: yw :-)
[01:25] <DJAdmiral> braintix: www.LinuxSurvival.com
[01:26] <Amaranth> !info libofx0c10
[01:26] <ubotu> Package libofx0c10 does not exist in dapper
[01:26] <jungsonn> uhmm... my terminal is gone...
[01:26] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: How do you "pick" the resolution? its not even an option in gnome
[01:26] <ardchoille> TheGateKeeper: That's a nice URL, thanks :)
[01:26] <braintix> just been used to go trough su konqueror in other dist just swaped to ubuntu to see if i like it
[01:26] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: In that case you need the URL I pointed you to before.
[01:27] <DJAdmiral> PyroManiak: System>Preferences>ScreenResolution
[01:27] <Amaranth> braintix: sudo konqueror
[01:27] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: I have the xorg.conf file set to ONLY use 1600x1200... but it still forces 1400x1050
[01:27] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: Did you do the other things that URL said?
[01:27] <DJAdmiral> PyroManiak: has your screen ever been able to do a 1600x1200 screen before?
[01:28] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: It is causing some nasty screen tearing on the right and bottom *almost looks like it tries to redraw top/left*
[01:28] <PyroManiak> DJAdmiral: Yes, it works in windows for years at that resolution
[01:28] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: That's not the problem, that's a symptom of the problem. :)
[01:28] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: You probably need to set refresh rates and such on xorg.conf
[01:28] <lwizardl> DJAdmiral, Amaranth, ok it was out of space I removed a folder that was over 20GB (copyied from another local pc, can redo) and now kde gui and ubuntu is back up and running
[01:29] <jungsonn> i try to remove that libofx: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:29] <Amaranth> lwizardl: cool
[01:29] <braintix> Amaranth: it dosent work i get erro messages
[01:29] <DJAdmiral> lwizardl: good to know :)
[01:29] <Amaranth> jungsonn: Close synaptic first
[01:29] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: How do I find out the exacts for a laptop LCD? not like I got a user guide? lol
[01:29] <DJAdmiral> PyroManiak: LCDs always refresh at 60 hertz if im not mistaken
[01:29] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: Well, that URL tells you about a tool that usually works, otherwise check out monitorworld.com
[01:29] <DJAdmiral> PyroManiak: I'll go check
[01:30] <foo> I used to be able to mount /dev/hdd /folder... I know this is bad, but that is how I did it on debian. Now, on ubuntu, I get: mount /dev/hdd already mounted or /public/ busy ... any ideas?
[01:30] <DJAdmiral> PyroManiak: yep. LCD screen refresh default is 60 Hz.
[01:30] <Gasten> Hi! I want to download files with bittorrent to my slave hdd, but to acces to it the program needs root. is there a away I could change this restriction without giving bittorrent root?
[01:30] <jungsonn> ok removed: gnucash: Depends: libofx2 but it is not going to be installed
[01:30] <Amaranth> Gasten: Is it a windows drive?
[01:31] <jungsonn> so i try again to upgrade now
[01:31] <Gasten> Amranth: There is a win2k partition in it, but the mayority is ext3.
[01:31] <Gasten> Amaranth: majority*
[01:31] <Gasten> Amaranth: and I wantto save on the ext3.
[01:32] <Amaranth> Gasten: You need to set permissions on the directory you want to save to, I guess.
[01:32] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: Guide steps didn't work, but I'm checking the refresh rates for v and H in windows right now
[01:33] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: `sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange` doesn't work?
[01:33] <Gu1> When doing ./configure I get messages "pointer targets ... differ in signedness". Fatal?
[01:33] <Amaranth> Gu1: Nope, that's a warning.
[01:34] <Amaranth> Gu1: It could cause problems later but unless you're a kernel programmer you can't fix it. :)
[01:34] <Gu1> Amar: Ah. About:
[01:34] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: let me relog linux on that machine and see what happens
[01:34] <Gu1> Argh! About what?
[01:34] <Amaranth> What?
[01:34] <Amaranth> About?
[01:34] <DJAdmiral> Gu1: sometimes warnings don't hurt
[01:34] <DJAdmiral> Gu1: it's because C program standards change very often
[01:35] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: I dont see that step in the guide you sent
[01:35] <DJAdmiral> Gu1: so it kinda warns about correct but slightly less appropriate code.
[01:35] <DJAdmiral> Gu1: Like Main(){} is correct but maybe it wants that function on different lines.
[01:35] <Gu1> DJA: The warning comes with ALSA installation, and I took the latest packages without rc in the name. They differ slightly. That might do it, or?
[01:35] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: It's in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:35] <ubuntudapper2__> i want to convert .vob files to avi
[01:35] <Gu1> The version nubmer differs - 1.0.9b vs 1.0.9
[01:36] <DJAdmiral> Gu1: depends really. personally I don't bother about warnings
[01:36] <Gu1> Tnx DJA :-)
[01:37] <DJAdmiral> Gu1: when it comes to compiling core packages you WILL get warnings - no chance you'll ever slip by a configure or make without a warning
[01:37] <Gu1> DJA: Noticed before... I just like to know what I'm being warned about...
[01:37] <DJAdmiral> Gu1: the only thing you should be worried about is it says error or something. anyway, your welcome :)
[01:37] <ubuntudapper2__> How can i convert from vob files to avi?
[01:37] <DJAdmiral> !vob
[01:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vob - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:38] <Amaranth> ubuntudapper2__: looking
[01:38] <Gasten> Amaranth: Thanks. It's working now.
[01:38] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: That command for ddcprobe doesn't work?
[01:39] <jungsonn> are these errors normal by upgrading? i get plenty of them in the terminal.: Perl error: falling back to the standard locale "C"
[01:39] <visik7> the claim by intel to opensource its driver was not so true at least
[01:39] <visik7> at last
[01:39] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: Heh, that was just a first try. I almost never works for me either.
[01:39] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: Check in Windows (refresh rate != horiz/vert refresh) or monitorworld.com
[01:40] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: doesn't show it for the windows drivers
[01:40] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: That's a handy link. does it only work on windoze?
[01:41] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: monitorworld.com?
[01:41] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: That's the one.
[01:41] <Amaranth> DJAdmiral: I've used it to setup old PCs with Ubuntu before, it's just a listing of monitor info.
[01:41] <Amaranth> (why would it be windows only?)
[01:41] <PyroManiak> Amaranth: How does that help with a laptop screen? lol
[01:41] <Amaranth> PyroManiak: Maybe they have laptops listed?
[01:41] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: Ah, cool. it reminds me of the famous www.cameramonitor.com joke
[01:42] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: or www.monitorcamera.com or something like that.
[01:45] <DJAdmiral> wow that's a lot of entries and exits.
[01:45] <Amaranth> indeed
[01:45] <DJAdmiral> reminds me of Jacque's Seven Ages of Man.
[01:45] <munsa> Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me, I am at a net cafe right now connected to a bunch of windowz computers. I was wondering how I would be able to connect to them via the network.
[01:45] <Amaranth> i'm out of practice, was hard keeping up with all that traffic
[01:46] <Amaranth> and this is the slow period :P
[01:46] <DJAdmiral> munsa: connect as in you want to transfer files or something?
[01:46] <Amaranth> munsa: Trying to steal files off a stranger's laptop?
[01:46] <DJAdmiral> munsa: or run a network game or something?
[01:46] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: good one
[01:46] <munsa> yea, I want to take some files from here
[01:47] <DJAdmiral> munsa: erm, email?
[01:47] <Amaranth> Places->Network Servers
[01:47] <munsa> email?
[01:47] <Amaranth> but you'll likely need passwords so you can't get anything you're not allowed
[01:48] <munsa> im allowed haha they dont care if i take anyting from here
[01:48] <munsa> lol
[01:48] <jungsonn> ok i have a problem i think: jungsonn@dhcppc0:~$ sudo apt-get remove firefox
[01:48] <jungsonn> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:48] <ardchoille> I'm currently at <IP_ADDRESS> how do I send a message to <IP_ADDRESS>? note, message on the screen, anything.
[01:49] <Amaranth> jungsonn: Do what it says
[01:49] <DJAdmiral> jungsonn: 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' then? lol
[01:49] <kingman> Hello,eveyrone.Why I can't find "tun" device after use "sudo modprobe tun" load tun device.I am use ubuntu dapper,Who can tell me what wrong,Thanks.
[01:49] <jungsonn> i did
[01:49] <jungsonn> dpkg: deze bewerking kan alleen uitgevoerd worden door de beheerder
[01:49] <Amaranth> translation?
[01:49] <jungsonn> this can only be done by the administrator
[01:49] <DJAdmiral> Amaranth: www.freetranslation.com?
[01:49] <Amaranth> jungsonn: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:49] <jungsonn> roughly ;)
[01:50] <Amaranth> kingman: it should be /dev/net/tun
[01:50] <Amaranth> ardchoille: I don't think you can.
[01:50] <jungsonn> hmm ok
[01:50] <SirKillalot> is it normal that ubuntu wont work when I change my RAM configuration
[01:50] <SirKillalot> ?
[01:51] <Amaranth> SirKillalot: Only if the RAM you put in is bad.
[01:51] <jungsonn> Ghehe strange i typed it first, now it works :)
[01:51] <kingman> Amaranth: yes, i can finded "/dev/net/tun",but can't use "ifconfig tun" or "ifconfig tun0" configure it,Thanks,
[01:51] <SirKillalot> Amaranth, its working fine normally, but now ubuntu wont boot with it
[01:52] <Amaranth> kingman: I don't think you use it like that.
[01:52] <Amaranth> kingman: it's usually used for an application to emulate a network card
[01:52] <Amaranth> SirKillalot: No errors?
[01:53] <munsa> I am having a problem with Mplayer. I can play video from the command line but when I try and play with the GUI I get this error... "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device." Any ideas???

[01:54] <DJAdmiral> cya

[01:55] <kingman> Amaranth: I want use qemu with tap/tun function,
[01:56] <Amaranth> kingman: if /dev/net/tun exists qemu should do all the setup work
[01:56] <neenaoffline> I want to run a command everytime xscreensaver starts , how can I go about it
[01:56] <Amaranth> neenaoffline: You can't.
[01:57] <kingman> Amaranth: Thank you,I am trying now,thank you.
[01:57] <Jamie> I dont wanna rip a cd.. i wanna browse the content of a none audio cd
[01:57] <santa99> !iptables
[01:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[01:58] <Amaranth> Jamie: Does the disc show up on your desktop?
[01:58] <Jamie> it shows up in places/computer
[01:58] <Jamie> and if i input an audio cd it autoruinns..
[01:58] <Jamie> so it does work
[01:58] <neenaoffline> Amaranth: according someone else I can
[01:59] <Micksa> hi
[01:59] <Skippy> hey all
[01:59] <Micksa> how many people make up canonical at the moment?
[01:59] <santa99> he guys could you tell me a good guide about iptables
[01:59] <Amaranth> neenaoffline: Ask them how to do it. :) I have no idea.
[01:59] <ardchoille> neenaoffline: then that someone else should tell you how. Is it an app you want to run?
[02:00] <neenaoffline> ardchoille: well yeah , a command line app
[02:00] <Amaranth> santa99: You could spend a lifetime learning about iptables. :)
[02:00] <Jamie> what flags shoudl i sue when mounting my DVD-reader?
[02:00] <Amaranth> Micksa: Canonical does not release staff information.
[02:00] <santa99> Amaranth, so i would only like a short introduce
[02:00] <santa99> Amaranth, do you maybe have a good link
[02:01] <Jamie> how shoudl i mount my dvd anyway?
[02:01] <Amaranth> santa99: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Iptables_for_newbies
[02:01] <Micksa> *blink* okay
[02:01] <Amaranth> Jamie: sudo mount -t udf /dev/dvd /media/cdrom0
[02:01] <santa99> Amaranth, thx
[02:01] <Amaranth> Jamie: That's if you're mounting a DVD
[02:01] <Amaranth> Jamie: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd /media/cdrom0
[02:02] <Amaranth> Jamie: That's for a CDROM
[02:02] <neildarlow> Jamie: you should have a /media/cdrom? entry for it in /etc/fstab. just sudo mount /media/cdrom?
[02:03] <Skippy> does anyone know hot to check if the 3d accel is working
[02:04] <Skippy> is there a command for that or somethnig
[02:04] <Amaranth> Skippy: glxinfo | grep direct
[02:04] <ardchoille> Skippy: glxinfo | grep render
[02:04] <jungsonn> *big sigh* but i'm upgraded to breezy now :)  thank for your excellent support!!!
[02:05] <Amaranth> jungsonn: Cool, now you just need to upgrade to dapper. :)
[02:05] <jungsonn> exactly ;)
[02:05] <Amaranth> jungsonn: update-manager in breezy should be able to handle that without too much of a headache
[02:06] <jungsonn> i guess i need a reboot now?
[02:06] <Amaranth> to get the new kernel and such, yes
[02:07] <ardchoille> Amaranth: How do yu upgrade from Breezy to Dapper? I tried replacing all instances of Breezy with Dapper in sources.list and it ended up breaking nearly everything.
[02:07] <Shinzetsu> can someone recommend me a good hex editor?
[02:07] <Amaranth> ardchoille: gksudo "update-manager -d"
[02:07] <Amaranth> !dapper
[02:07] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th and latest release of Ubuntu. Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake"
[02:07] <ardchoille> I ended up installing from a Dapper install cd
[02:08] <Amaranth> bleh
[02:08] <Amaranth> !upgrade
[02:08] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[02:08] <Amaranth> oh, the command i told you might try to upgrade you to edgy, dunno
[02:08] <ardchoille> Amaranth: Ahh, that's why, I did it wrong
[02:08] <jungsonn> i use Ghex
[02:09] <foo> Ok, I did mount /dev/hdd /folder on debian stable ..but on debian server 6.06 I do that, and it throws this error: mount: /dev/hdd already mounted or /public/ busy. I've spent hours on this problem with no luck. I think something debian did ubuntu doesn't do or something. Any ideas?
[02:11] <ych> hi
[02:11] <ardchoille> foo: is /dev/hdd already mounted?
[02:11] <foo>  umount: /public/: not mounted.
[02:11] <foo> No
[02:11] <foo> mount | grep hdd .. no
[02:12] <Shinzetsu> if I have a  user, and I change his name, does his /home/ dir stay the same?
[02:12] <schnepfi__> hello
[02:12] <foo>  /dev/hdd is a hard drive with no partition. Yes, I know this is bad. Definitely going to get fixed
[02:12] <bimberi> Shinzetsu: yes, but there are commands that will change the home dir too
[02:12] <Shinzetsu> okay
[02:13] <Shinzetsu> bimberi: thanks
[02:13] <bimberi> Shinzetsu: it's "usermod" (just looked it up)
[02:13] <ardchoille> foo: Well, if it has no partition, then it has no filesystem on it. mount mounts filesystems.. if there is no fs, then it can't be mounted, right?
[02:13] <Shinzetsu> will do, thanks :-)
[02:14] <bimberi> Shinzetsu: np :)
[02:14] <foo> ardchoille: the filesyste is on /dev/hdd
[02:14] <foo> I mounted with that on debian
[02:14] <ardchoille> foo: How can you have a file system on a hdd that doesn't have any partitions?
[02:14] <ian1> Question: Installing Ubuntu on a Dell Dimension 8100 (P4 1.4)... At boot I get some message about "MP tables".  Any thoughts?
[02:14] <schnepfi__> hello, can somebody help me, i have got a problem with my external soundcard, who can help me
[02:15] <erUSUL> !anybody
[02:15] <ubotu> 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?
[02:15] <foo> ardchoille: I don't know, but I do. I'm not going to argue. I mounted with this for months and years on debian.
[02:15] <schnepfi__> okok
[02:15] <ardchoille> foo: Not arguing, but I just don't see how you are able to mount it at all. Just curious.
[02:16] <foo> nah, it's cool. It's 5am, I've been on this for 5 hours, and it's bugging me.
[02:16] <foo> my bad
[02:16] <ardchoille> no problem :)
[02:16] <ardchoille> foo: You might try posting the problem to ubuntuforums.org .. that forum is awesome.
[02:17] <foo> ardchoille: nice, but I don't have time for that.
[02:17] <santa99> !ask
[02:17] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:17] <santa99> !ask > schnepfi__
[02:18] <schnepfi__> im using a laptop and ubuntu. but i would like to use my external soundcard. but if i select my external soundcard nothing changes and the music keep on playing on my internal soundcard, and i dont know the reason for this
[02:18] <ardchoille> Amaranth: Is it possible to mount a hd that doesn't have any partitions?
[02:18] <Amaranth> ardchoille: nope
[02:18] <ardchoille> I didn't think so
[02:18] <Amaranth> it has to have a filesystem on it
[02:18] <ardchoille> That's what I thought
[02:20] <Hyperpenguin> Hi there!
[02:20] <neenaoffline> can anyone tell me why this isn't working .........
[02:20] <neenaoffline> neenaoffline@Aiko:~/Stuff/hostedfiles$ thttpd -p 53446 -l /home/neenaoffline/Stuff/hostedfiles/nothosted/neenaoffline -d /home/neenaoffline/Stuff/hostedfiles/neenaoffline/
[02:20] <spinz8r> what is the recommended method to uninstall ubuntu on osx? thanks.
[02:20] <schnepfi__> the external soundcard i*m using is creative soundblaster 2 bit
[02:21] <schnepfi__> 24 bit
[02:22] <bimberi> spinz8r: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/PowerPC
[02:22] <magus_x> ubuntu comes with svn command?]
[02:22] <sam_> anyone know anything about compiz
[02:22] <Hyperpenguin> Kind of.
[02:22] <spinz8r> tks sir
[02:22] <ian1> I'm having issues with installing Ubuntu on a Dell Dimension 8100 (P4 1.4)...Something to do SMP (which I have no clue about).  Is there a place to DL an iso specific to P4's?
[02:23] <magus_x> ubuntu comes with svn command?]
[02:23] <bimberi> magus_x: not by default, install the "subversion" package
[02:23] <loko555> somebody know if there will be a updated sun java in the repos?
[02:23] <ian1> Also saw some issue with something called MP tables in the error message.
[02:23] <Hyperpenguin> Also, sam_, there's a #ubuntu-xgl channel, I believe.
[02:23] <jrib> magus_x: install the 'subversion' package
[02:23] <jrib> bah, too slow
[02:24] <magus_x> yeah, im seeing here
[02:24] <sam_> ok I will check there thanks
[02:24] <loko555> cause 1.5.0-6 has some bugs
[02:24] <foo-knoppix> Ok, I mounted this drive fine under knoppix. What gives?
[02:25] <ian1> !smp
[02:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:25] <Hyperpenguin> What's going wrong wit it?
[02:25] <Gu1> Next prob... segmentation fault with modprobe
[02:25] <Hyperpenguin> foo-knoppix, what problem do you have when mounting?
[02:26] <foo-knoppix> Hyperpenguin: I can mount /dev/hdd /folder in knoppix, but not in ubuntu server 6.06. It has to be a bug.
[02:26] <Hyperpenguin> Not too sure, really.
[02:26] <SystemBomber> Hey Guys, Having a problem installing Guifications for Gaim 2 Beta 3. If I install through synaptic, When I try to load the plugin, all it says is: "ABI Version Mismatch 1.5.x (need 2.0.x)"
[02:26] <ardchoille> Hyperpenguin: He seems to have mounted a hdd that doesn't have any partitions
[02:26] <neutrinomass> Gu1: That sounds serious. Can you get a backtrace of it by following http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash ?
[02:26] <schnepfi__> im using a laptop and ubuntu. but i would like to use my external soundcard. but if i select my external soundcard nothing changes and the music keep on playing on my internal soundcard, and i dont know the reason for this,info: my external soundcarrd is creative soundblaster 24 bit
[02:27] <jrib> SystemBomber: the guifications package in the repositories won't work with gaim 2 beta 3,  http://guifications.sourceforge.net/ has a new version of guifications that should work though.  I believe you will have to compile it yourself
[02:28] <SystemBomber> jrib, I have tried compiling it, I keep getting an error when I do: ./configure because it can't find gaim
[02:29] <SystemBomber> Btw i install gaim 2 beta 3 using automatix
[02:29] <Hyperpenguin> Hey, can I ask something very noobish? Is there any way, with some Linux partitioning command, to resize a partition and make three more *without* losing all of my data?
[02:29] <jrib> SystemBomber: have you installed the gaim-dev package?
[02:29] <Hyperpenguin> Linux partitions, that is
[02:29] <SystemBomber> one sec
[02:29] <magus_> Hyperpenguin, : Gparted
[02:29] <Hyperpenguin> Ah, thanks.
[02:29] <magus_> you can resize partitions
[02:29] <niruana> hi all, is there anyone who uses the MadWiFi drivers?
[02:30] <schnepfi__> im using a laptop and ubuntu. but i would like to use my external soundcard. but if i select my external soundcard nothing changes and the music keep on playing on my internal soundcard, and i dont know the reason for this,info: my external soundcarrd is creative soundblaster 24 bit
[02:30] <SystemBomber> jrib,  No i havnt, its installing now
[02:30] <magus_> Hyperpenguin, : i used it to resize my ntfs partition :)
[02:30] <Hyperpenguin> Yay. Well, thanks. After I repartition, Ubuntu tine! :D
[02:30] <Hyperpenguin> Gentoo was getting a bit... annoying
[02:30] <Hyperpenguin> lol
[02:30] <SystemBomber> jrib
[02:30] <SystemBomber> thanks :)
[02:31] <jrib> SystemBomber: np
[02:31] <schnepfi__> ive got a problem with my external soundcard. it doenst play music. if i play a song it is played on my internal soundcard, whats the eason for this.....PLEASE HELP ME
[02:31] <niruana> !madwifi
[02:31] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:33] <SystemBomber> Also, can anyone help me with getting themes to install, and work with Xgl please
[02:34] <Hyperpenguin> One more dumb question. I currently have the usual "swap, data, boot" partition layout, can I simply put in a new data partition in and have ubuntu be able to use the same swap and boot partitions without borking?
[02:34] <noona> hello, can i restore a formatted drive (QUICK NTFS) using a linux OS?
[02:34] <Hyperpenguin> SystemBomber, #ubuntu-xgl
[02:34] <SystemBomber> cheers
[02:34] <Shinzetsu> noona: you can backup your ntfs files, yes
[02:34] <noona> no  i wanna restore them after a format
[02:35] <noona> i wanna restore a formatted drive
[02:35] <Shinzetsu> noona: format deletes everything
[02:35] <Shinzetsu> nonoa: inreversible, sorry
[02:35] <noona> are you sure?
[02:35] <Hyperpenguin> Generally, that's true.
[02:35] <erUSUL> Hyperpenguin: swap def. yes, with the boot partition i do not know maybe ubuntu trys to format it
[02:35] <Shinzetsu> noona: once you format, theres no way of getting your files back, unless you backed them up elsewhere
[02:36] <Hyperpenguin> Okay, I'll make a new boot partition and tell GRUB to use that when booting Ubuntu.
[02:36] <noona> what about these programme that claim capable of recovering files?
[02:36] <noona> after a format
[02:36] <Shinzetsu> noona: fake
[02:36] <Nameeater> thats not true
[02:36] <Shinzetsu> noona: you can get stuff back from recycle bin
[02:36] <Nameeater> depends what kind of format :)
[02:36] <Shinzetsu> Nameater: ntfs <_<
[02:36] <noona> QUICK
[02:36] <ardchoille> noona: Those are forensic data tools.. even those have no guarantee of recovering anything
[02:37] <Nameeater> oh
[02:37] <Nameeater> probably true :)
[02:37] <noona> it took it like 5 seconds using windows xp cd
[02:37] <Shinzetsu> nooona: yep
[02:37] <erUSUL> noona: you can try a specialiced and expensive data recovery company if the data is worth it. google around for some specialiced app too
[02:37] <Shinzetsu> noona: cant guarantee anything, its basicly based on luck =p
[02:37] <noona> na, i want free software
[02:37] <adhom> Guys how do I configure my ADSL modem router netgear on ubuntu? This is the only reason I didnt install it yet.
[02:38] <Shinzetsu> hehe
[02:38] <Shinzetsu> noona: sorry to say, but youre screwed then
[02:38] <Hyperpenguin> Does it have a web interface?
[02:38] <Shinzetsu> noona: why did you format anyway?
[02:39] <neenaoffline> Why does'nt this work ?
[02:39] <noona> because i wanted to install ubuntu
[02:39] <ino> Hi from Italy
[02:39] <neenaoffline> thttpd -p 53446 -l /home/neenaoffline/Stuff/hostedfiles/nothosted/neenaoffline -d /home/neenaoffline/Stuff/hostedfiles/neenaoffline/
[02:39] <noona> i had windows xp on the main drive
[02:39] <Shinzetsu> noona: only windows uses ntfs
[02:39] <noona> i told the parition utility to use the free space on the other parition
[02:39] <Shinzetsu> noona: you should have used the live cd to back your stuff up, then format with ubuntu
[02:39] <ardchoille> noona: The Ubuntu installer would have taken care of the formatting for you
[02:40] <Shinzetsu> afk
[02:40] <noona> but i told it to manipulate the other drive
[02:40] <noona> not the one that has xp on it
[02:41] <foomonkey> I want to install the text mode version of emacs but I want to leave the X version installed also. When I select emacs-nox in synaptic, it tells me it has to uninstall the X version. Is this true? Are they mutually exclusive?
[02:42] <jrib> foomonkey: I think the x version installs the cli version as well, does 'emacs' in a terminal not work?
[02:43] <ino> Sorry... I'm a newbye wirh Ubuntu.... I need an help for AVI codec. Where could I find them?
[02:43] <ardchoille> jrib: He'll probably get: bash: emacs: command not found  'tis what I got
[02:43] <jrib> !avi > ino
[02:43] <foomonkey> well, yes it does.... duh! I should have tried that first
[02:44] <foomonkey> sorry
[02:44] <ardchoille> I'm guessing that Ubuntu ships without emacs
[02:44] <foo-knoppix> ardchoille: hey, there you are.
[02:44] <ardchoille> Oh well, emacs is a nice OS.. hopefully someone will code a nice editor for it someday, lol
[02:44] <foo-knoppix> ardchoille: It mounted fine under knoppix. It's a ubuntu bug, it has to be
[02:45] <foomonkey> what is funny is that if I am jus in a terminal on the local machine (with X), it starts up the X version of emacs
[02:45] <santa99> can anybody here explain me how to get surround sound out of my external usb card
[02:45] <foomonkey> but if I'm in an ssh session remotely, and type emacs, I get the terminal version
[02:45] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: in Ubuntu, you cannot mount a drive which has no partitions. I am guessing the eother debian based systems do something to allow you to mount a partitionless drive or there is at least one partition on that drive.
[02:45] <britishseapower> any clues as to why my load averages don't seem to drop below 1.0 ?
[02:46] <britishseapower> 13:46:09 up 30 min,  2 users,  load average: 1.00, 1.00, 0.86
[02:46] <foo-knoppix> ardchoille: It worked fine under knoppix. Don't see why it wouldn't in ubuntu.
[02:46] <Goose1d> Hello all.  I've having some serious latency and packetloss issues on my Ubuntu server.  I think it may be the ethernet driver.  Under low/no load I am 0ms to my router on the same ethernet switch.  Once I fire up squid my latency jumps to 150ms and my packetloss to 7%

[02:47] <Goose1d> any ideas on what is causing iT?
[02:47] <Hyperpenguin> Gooseld, any problems with other machines on the network?
[02:47] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: talk to the ubuntu devs and ask them why Ubuntu won't mount a drive that has no partitions on it?
[02:48] <Hyperpenguin> lol
[02:48] <foo-knoppix> ardchoille: Any in here?
[02:48] <Goose1d> No, other machines are fine
[02:48] <viper550> Hello!
[02:48] <Goose1d> In fact I have another squid running FC4, will retest it, one sec

[02:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dev - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:49] <Whyvas> ardchoille, you mount a partition, not a drive
[02:49] <foo-knoppix> Whyvas: You a dev?
[02:49] <ardchoille> Whyvas: I know that. foo-knoppix says he has mounted a drive that has no paritions
[02:50] <Goose1d> HyperP: Other machine is fine
[02:50] <Whyvas> foo-knoppix doesn't know anything
[02:50] <Rookie-> might be /dev/unit /mountpoint
[02:50] <Nooster> hello
[02:50] <foo-knoppix> Whyvas: err, who are you to make that assumption? I did mount /dev/hdd /dir in knoppix and it worked
[02:50] <Nooster> i installed ubuntu for my dad
[02:50] <Nooster> using my monitor
[02:50] <foo-knoppix> Whyvas: In ubuntu, it does not.

[02:50] <Nooster> he went home and plugged his box into his monitor
[02:50] <Nooster> now the screen blanks whenever ubuntu tries to load
[02:50] <Nooster> what is the solution?
[02:51] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: Then there is at least one partition on that drive for that to work.
[02:51] <Whyvas> foo-knoppix, you don't mount drives... you mount partitions, you can see the drive but it's not mounted
[02:51] <munsa> Hello, does anyone know anything about XGL?
[02:51] <xice> munsa, try #ubuntu-xgl
[02:51] <Whyvas> foo-knoppix, then /dev/hdd must be an optical drive
[02:51] <ardchoille> munsa: /join #ubuntu-xgl
[02:51] <foo-knoppix> Whyvas: I did what I said I did, and I see 150k files in the /dir I mounted /dev/hdd on. I don't know what you want me to tell you, other than I am saying what I saw.
[02:52] <farous> hi are there any tools that will spin down an external usb hard drive when it is idle. something similar to laptop-tools
[02:53] <Whyvas> foo-knoppix, is /dev/hdd an optical drive?
[02:54] <foo-knoppix> Whyvas: ide.
[02:54] <elmato> Is there any rsync guru's in here? My Dad is heading off to antarctica for 18months shortly and Im trying to make a local copy of the dapper repositories for him to take along. Was hoping someone might have some nifty script or something that will exclude all the non i386 stuff etc.
[02:54] <Whyvas> foo-knoppix, yes, an ide optical drive...
[02:54] <foo-knoppix> Whyvas: uh, it's an ata drive.. don't know what you mean by optical.
[02:54] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: CD/DVD drive?
[02:54] <Whyvas> a cdrom. dvdrom, burner any of those
[02:55] <foo-knoppix> ohh, my bad. No, it's a hard drive.
[02:55] <munsa> Anyone ever had a wierd problem with Evolution? It is poping up like a thousand different instances of itself I dont know what is up.
[02:55] <Shinzetsu> I installed qc-usb-source for my webcam (.deb) but...how do I compile it? I know how to compile but where is it?
[02:56] <farous> Shinzetsu: the cam work out of the box
[02:56] <Shinzetsu> mine doesnt..
[02:56] <Skippy> do you know what is gdm
[02:56] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: How many partitions are on that drive?
[02:56] <Shinzetsu> Skippy: GNOME Display Manager
[02:56] <foo-knoppix> ardchoille: I didn't think there was any. fdisk -l shows hdd1 . but I mount with /dev/hdd
[02:56] <neenaoffline> Skippy: ^
[02:56] <Skippy> is it desktop we see or is it somewhere else
[02:57] <farous> Shinzetsu: to test try lsmod |grep quickcam
[02:57] <Hyperpenguin> foo-knoppix, does mounting /dev/hdd1 work?
[02:57] <Shinzetsu> Skippy: Its the GNOME desktop yes
[02:57] <neenaoffline> Skippy: it's the thing you see while logging on
[02:57] <neenaoffline> Shinzetsu: No !
[02:57] <foo-knoppix> Hyperpenguin: I didn't try in knoppix.. but under ubuntu, no.
[02:57] <Skippy> thanks a lot
[02:57] <neenaoffline> oh sorry , yes
[02:57] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: That is a partition (hdd1) it's the first partition on that drive. You have to have at least one partition in order to mount a drive.
[02:57] <Hyperpenguin> Hmm. That's really strange,
[02:57] <jnvilo> anybody did an update on xorg and broke xlg?
[02:57] <foo-knoppix> Whatever. I think it's a bug.
[02:57] <Shinzetsu> farous: "quickcam               78372  0" ?
[02:58] <foo-knoppix> mount /dev/hdd /dir works in knoppix, but not in ubuntu .. on the same box.
[02:58] <foo-knoppix> Simple as that.
[02:58] <farous> Shinzetsu: see the module is already loaded
[02:58] <Nooster> Hello, i'm having a problem with ubuntu. When X starts during bootup, the screen blanks
[02:58] <Shinzetsu> hm
[02:58] <crayzee> HW question: Is it OK to mix DDR266 with DDR400 memory?
[02:58] <Nooster> does anyone have any suggestions?
[02:58] <Nooster> the screen then turns off
[02:58] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:58] <farous> Shinzetsu: install camorama and you will se if your cam is working
[02:58] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: choose vesa when you get a list of drivers
[02:58] <Nooster> where do i type that
[02:58] <Shinzetsu> farous: okay will try hang on
[02:58] <Nooster> ?
[02:59] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: try sudo mount /dev/hdd1 /mountpoint in Ubuntu .. I bet it works.
[02:59] <Shinzetsu> Nooster; Terminal
[02:59] <Nooster> how do i get to that?
[02:59] <Nooster> i can't get to the desktop
[02:59] <munsa> Noone here knows anything about XGL?
[02:59] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: boot into recovery mode
[02:59] <BeepAU> hey everyone, i'm new to linux, can anyone help me install the file needed to export mp3s on audacity?
[02:59] <foo-knoppix> ardchoille: heh, I spent 3 hours trying to get it to work. If it was that simple I would have gotten it :P
[02:59] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: press Esc when GRUB boots up
[02:59] <crayzee> Nooster: control-alt-F1
[02:59] <david__> is there a partition editor that can do on the fly editing and not lose data?
[02:59] <Nooster> oh ok awesome
[02:59] <jnvilo> munsa: i got xgl working last night
[02:59] <Nooster> thanks
[02:59] <Nooster> i'll try it
[02:59] <Hyperpenguin> david__, Gparted
[02:59] <munsa> really?
[02:59] <Shinzetsu> farous: unable to capture image
[02:59] <Hyperpenguin> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[02:59] <david__> is that like partition magic?
[03:00] <munsa> jnvilo, I just installed it ( or thought I installed it)
[03:00] <Hyperpenguin> Kind of.
[03:00] <munsa> but its not working
[03:00] <david__> cool
[03:00] <jnvilo> munsa: on dapper yes with nvidia
[03:00] <Shinzetsu> Nooster:
[03:00] <david__> thanx
[03:00] <crayzee> david__, Gparted, assuming you arent using the partitions you are changing.
[03:00] <farous> Shinzetsu: ls /dev/video0
[03:00] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: you still here?
[03:00] <munsa> and i got a wierd screen at the gnome login
[03:00] <Nooster> yeop
[03:00] <Nooster> yep
[03:00] <Nooster> it's on another computer
[03:00] <Nooster> my dads
[03:00] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: If sudo mount /dev/hdd1 /mountpoint doesn't work in Ubuntu, then something is wrong with your install. You mount partitions (hdd1) not drives.
[03:00] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: if it doesnt work, you can go on IRC in the console
[03:00] <Hyperpenguin> Actually, there's a Gparted livecd and liveUSB
[03:00] <Nooster> i will remain on irc
[03:00] <Nooster> thanks for the thought
[03:00] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: use 'irssi -c irc.freenode.net -n Nooster'
[03:00] <jnvilo> munsa: then i did an update on the distro, nw it won't load nvidia.. i am wonderng if anyone has had this problem
[03:00] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: ah okay
[03:00] <munsa> jnvilo  and the last step I got was to reboot, when I rebooted I got this wierd text screen telling me that  GDM was wrong, and it could not located Xserver, then I got a Gnome login  screen and not the usual ubuntu screen and then it let me loging... dunno what happened
[03:00] <Nooster> that's cool of you
[03:00] <Nooster> :)
[03:00] <BeepAU> hey everyone, i'm new to linux, can anyone help me install the file needed to export mp3s on audacity?
[03:00] <crayzee> david__, Yes, Gparted is very similar to partition magic. I would recommend running it off of a live CD (such as the Ubuntu 6.06-desktop CD) rather than on a live system.
[03:00] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: : - )
[03:01] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: open a term in that livecd and type mount. Is hdd mounted or is it hdd1 ?
[03:01] <Shinzetsu> farous: I see /dev/video0 with a black background and yellow letters
[03:01] <david__> alright thanx
[03:01] <jnvilo> munsa: after reboot you have to run a few things to get compiz to load otherwise you won't see any difference
[03:01] <david__> I downloaded freespire last night, anyone have any thoughts on it? I was thinking of tryibng it out
[03:02] <Hyperpenguin> Well, I'm off to Ubuntuify my machine. See ya!
[03:02] <ian1> Anyone ever heard of having trouble installing Ubuntu on a Pentiun 4 1.4?  It's a Dell Dimension 8100.  I keep getting errors about SMP and MP tables.  I haven't the slightest where to go from here..
[03:02] <jnvilo> munsa: something like: gnome-window-decorator &  compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher &
[03:02] <munsa> yea
[03:02] <neutrinomass> david__: That really belongs to #ubuntu-offtopic, this is a support channel ...
[03:02] <Shinzetsu> farous: :\
[03:02] <david__> sorry...
[03:02] <munsa> jnvilo how do I run those? it says that I have to do this in the thing
[03:02] <erUSUL> ian1: try booting with acpi=off
[03:02] <munsa> how do I do those last commands?
[03:03] <ian1> erUSUL, I have no idea how to accomplish that.
[03:03] <foo-knoppix> ardchoille: heh, look, I'm not going to argue with you. I am telling you what I have done, not what I think. Yes, I know you typically mount partitions, I mount the device. I made the device have no partitions and just a filesystem ... bad idea. But you can do it, I've done it. And it is mounted as hdd, as I've already told you.
[03:03] <jnvilo> munsa: login as you did and open a terminal and run it there
[03:03] <ian1> erUSUL, I'm using a live-cd
[03:04] <Shinzetsu> ian1: theres an option somewhere when you boot up, an F-key
[03:04] <Ackeubu_> Hey i try to run tremulus-server at port Sending heartbeat to master.tremulous.net
[03:04] <Shinzetsu> ian1: you can type acpi=off or another command an dthen boot
[03:04] <ardchoille> foo-knoppix: Ok, I don't think you nderstand how drives/partitions/file systems work. Thanks for the info, though.
[03:04] <munsa> jnvilo yea but i put gnome-window-decorator in the terminal and I get nothing.
[03:04] <munsa> command not found
[03:05] <ian1> Shinzetsu, Danke, rebooting (froze) and will try that.  Do you know what MP tables or SMP are?
[03:05] <Ackeubu_> im trying to run tremulous server i have set my router to forward to the correct port on the correct laptop. however I need to know if i need to open anny ports on my linux laptop to allow the server to run?
[03:05] <foo-knoppix> ardchoille: I know how they work, I made the partition wrong... I see what you're saying, though, it's just the wrong way I made the partition.
[03:05] <jnvilo> munsa: then you must have missed some install steps
[03:05] <munsa> jnvilo what install manual did you use?
[03:06] <jnvilo> munsa: i'll brb with the link
[03:06] <munsa> ok thanks

[03:07] <Nightattack> I've been trying to get my ati drivers working for a while now, i think it tried almost everything that is written on the forums but it still doesn't work( i keep getting mesa info on fglrxinfo ), can anyone help me with that please?

[03:07] <mrDaniel> how I can set firefox to use mplayer for streaming-media instead of using totem?
[03:07] <Seveas> mrDaniel, remove the totem web browser plugin
[03:07] <munsa> jnvilo - thanks,
[03:08] <Ackeubu_> is ubuntu running any firewalls?
[03:08] <Ackeubu_> by default?
[03:08] <jnvilo> munsa: be warned though, after an hour of me playing with it, i did an apt-get update and it broke after the kernel upgrade, or dunno if it was the xorg update
[03:08] <neenaoffline> Ackeubu_: no
[03:08] <Baltazar^2> (Ackeubu_: apt-get install firestarter
[03:09] <Shinzetsu> I cant seem to install my webcam
[03:09] <jnvilo> I am wondering if anyone has experienced it on dapper, after ninstall i updated dapper just like i would on debian and X no longer finds the nvidia driver
[03:09] <munsa> jnvilo - is it worth it?
[03:09] <ian1> Ackeubu_, That's "Sudo apt-get install firestarter"
[03:09] <jnvilo> munsa: worth it what? the xgl? or the update?
[03:10] <munsa> jnvilo xgl is it worth the time and effort to install and play with or is it just some eyecandy that is cool for an hour but then never again useful?
[03:10] <Warbo> How can I use xrandr to use my 1280x1024 settings on a 1024x768 monitor? I remember it was done automatically when I switched my HD between two similar graphics cards, but now I am switching between an ATI and an Nvidia
[03:10] <Gros|wx> hi all
[03:12] <Lattyware> Hey all, anyone know of an alternative to SpeedFan?
[03:12] <ian1> !pastebin
[03:12] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:12] <Lattyware> (AKA: A fan speed controll app)
[03:12] <Ackeubu_> neenaoffline: Baltazar^2: ian1: so then i should be fine if i set up a tremulous server on port 37020 and portforward that through my router to my <IP_ADDRESS> laptop?
[03:12] <jnvilo> munsa - well it depends, it surely is more than just eyecandy, i found it much easier to declutter my desk and move around workspaces
[03:12] <munsa> cool
[03:13] <orasis1> Does anyone know of an audio editor for Linux that can do mix pasting (overlap audio files), like Sound forge, and Cool edit on windows can?
[03:13] <Warbo> I don't like XGL/Compiz. I find that I miss too many features of E16 (like really thin borders, for instance)

[03:14] <jnvilo> orsisl: there is ardour which is realy cool
[03:14] <ian1> Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've been working on this all night and can't figure it out.
[03:14] <Warbo> Anyone know about xrandr?
[03:15] <bXi> is it possible to use /dev/input/js0 on another machine?
[03:15] <zool2005> I keep asking here about gdmflexiserver in the hope that someone will be able to help me with my problem. I can't use the new login feature as I am automatically returned to a locked screen no matter which new user I select. Have I not set something up correctly?
[03:15] <orasis1> Ubotu, yeah it does everything "except" allow overlap audio,, you can only paste normally, so doesnt help much if you want to make songs with it
[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yeah it does everything "except" allow overlap audio,, you can only paste normally, so doesnt help much if you want to make songs with it - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:17] <jnvilo> orasisl: actually have not tried it, i have it on my FC5
[03:17] <Warbo> Lattyware: Er.... Variable resistor? :)
[03:17] <Lattyware> heh. I'm looking for somthing like SpeedFan, but that's a windows app.
[03:17] <ardchoille> Warbo: lol
[03:17] <orasis1> jnvillo, OK well I guess I will give it a shot... if not its back to windows :( - That is the only reason I never stay on Linux that long, I love it for everything else ... but it's audio software selection .. sucks :(
[03:17] <jnvilo> orasisl: i just did an apt-cache search ardour and it seems there are packages for it
[03:18] <orasis1> nice
[03:20] <elmato> have you tried Gkrellm Lattyware ?
[03:20] <Lattyware> nope, link?
[03:20] <orasis1> jnvillo, you are right - it is also in Synaptic
[03:20] <pdamoc> anyone?
[03:20] <ian1> Help with live cd install.  Error pasted at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20447
[03:20] <jnvilo> anybody know the difference between synaptic and apt?
[03:20] <penguin42> pdamoc: What's the problem you are having?
[03:20] <Baltazar^2> pdamoc: Problem ?
[03:20] <elmato> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GKrellM
[03:20] <pdamoc> The only resolution recognized is 640x480
[03:20] <Baltazar^2> pdamoc: U have to setup monitor
[03:20] <ian1> penguin42, As far as I know Sybaptic is just the GUI for apt.
[03:20] <ardchoille> jnvilo: Synaptic is a gui front end for apt
[03:20] <orasis1> Jnvilo, I think Synaptic is a GUI for apt
[03:20] <penguin42> ian1: Does it stop there or is it the lack of SMP that is the question?
[03:21] <Baltazar^2> pdamoc: U follow ?
[03:21] <pdamoc> how do I setup my monitor?
[03:21] <ian1> penguin42, After a bit it seems to try to boot still but fails soon after.  No other error messages.
[03:21] <orasis1> Pda, what video card do you have?
[03:21] <Baltazar^2> pdamoc: Better yet, what graphics card you use ?
[03:21] <pdamoc> nforce2 cipset
[03:21] <pdamoc> integrated
[03:22] <f7al> what's the best strategy game ?
[03:22] <mypapit> tea, earl grey, hot
[03:22] <pdamoc> GForce 4 MX
[03:22] <Lattyware> elmato: Thanks, I'll check it out
[03:22] <jnvilo> pdamoc: have you tried choosing the nv driver?
[03:22] <penguin42> ian1: are there any BIOS options about the MPI table (something like that?) ?
[03:22] <mwe> f7al: what's the best beer?
[03:22] <pdamoc> jnvilo: how?
[03:23] <orasis1> Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[03:23] <penguin42> ian1: Also if you can try booting with noapic perhaps it might be worth it if that is what it is getting confused by
[03:23] <elmato> Lattyware : np, Its pretty slick... has a lot of 3rd party plugins made for it too
[03:23] <ian1> penguin42, I don't remember seeing any, but I'm rechecking now to be certain.
[03:23] <orasis1> In "device section" - pick another driver, I have no idea what it is for NV gforce however I am on radeon
[03:23] <jnvilo> for NV gforce, it is nv
[03:24] <ian1> penguin42, Is it acip, apic, or acpi?  I just tried one of them...
[03:24] <noob> !botsnack
[03:24] <ubotu> Yum!
[03:24] <Lattyware> elmato: Cool, sounds good.
[03:24] <pdamoc> this is what I was afraid of :)
[03:24] <elmargol> isn't it a bit strange that postfix depends on emacs?
[03:24] <penguin42> ian1: I'd go with noapic
[03:24] <pdamoc> ok... I'll give it a try
[03:24] <orasis1> Alright so pda, nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf - scroll to "device" section - replace whatever it says with "nv" and ctrl-alt-backspace, to restart X
[03:24] <mwe> elmargol: I dont think it does. are you sure?
[03:25] <elmargol> mwe: if i do aptitude install postfix it does. if i do apt-get install don't
[03:25] <orasis1> Or you could use "mousepad" to edit it also
[03:25] <jnvilo> pdamoc you might want to update your resolution too while you're at it
[03:25] <mwe> elmargol: it's unrelated. check apt-cache show postfix and you'll see
[03:25] <Nooster> hey shinzetsu: thanks for your help
[03:25] <Nooster> it worked
[03:25] <orasis1> Pda, have you tryed changing your res from inside X?
[03:25] <Nooster> my dad sends his thanks
[03:25] <noob> any atheros friends here who heard of the new wep decrypt method? it is called wesside and you can get the source here: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/a.bittau/frag-0.1.tgz . but it is for bsd and i can't compile it.
[03:25] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: anytime mate
[03:25] <Snakehit> How do you update youre kernel
[03:26] <orasis1> "Start" -> settings -> display settings
[03:26] <Shinzetsu> Nooster: what graphics card are you using?
[03:26] <noob> !botsnack
[03:26] <ian1> penguin42, So "noapic" is the command?  I tried "acpi=off" with no success.
[03:26] <ubotu> Yum!
[03:26] <mwe> elmargol: what happens if you type just sudo aptitude install?
[03:26] <elmargol> mwe: nothing
[03:26] <penguin42> ian1: noapic on the kernel boot line I believed - acpi!=apic
[03:26] <pdamoc> I'm back.... the driver is already nv
[03:27] <mwe> elmargol: well I dont know why it wants to get emacs. it's not a dependency of postfix
[03:27] <ian1> penguin42, So wait, it's "acpi!=apic"?
[03:27] <orasis1> mwe, You download the whole multiverse,universe and every Linux pack ever made - your hard drive frys and you cry for days without end. :D
[03:27] <mwe> orasis1: huh?
[03:27] <penguin42> ian1: No, sorry; use 'noapic'   I just meant apic is not the same as acpi
[03:27] <pdamoc> and... the monitor is detected correctly
[03:27] <orasis1> Pda
[03:27] <mwe> orasis1: I have no intention of doing that. what makes you say that?
[03:27] <ian1> penguin42, Tried "noapic" and it didn't work.
[03:27] <Shinzetsu> can anyone help me with my cam?
[03:27] <orasis1> Start -> settings -> display settings (try changing res from there )
[03:27] <elmargol> well postfix recommends mail reader...
[03:27] <Hyperpenguin> Hi again!
[03:28] <elmargol> and emacs provides an mail reader :D
[03:28] <penguin42> ian1: Tell me about your hardware
[03:28] <Hyperpenguin> Glee!
[03:28] <elmargol> who on hell do I need a mail reader on a mailserver?
[03:28] <mwe> elmargol: ok you have aptitude set up to automatically install recommended packages
[03:28] <ian1> penguin42, Dell Dimension 8100 w/P4 1.4 and 384 of RIMM
[03:28] <penguin42> elmargol: To spy on the users
[03:28] <elmargol> mwe: i use the default install
[03:28] <penguin42> ian1: So this is a single CPU box?
[03:28] <pdamoc> what should I try?
[03:29] <ian1> penguin42, I believe so.
[03:29] <mwe> elmargol: yeah. you can turn it off if you like.
[03:29] <orasis1> Pda, what did you have set in windows? - use the same
[03:29] <noob> anyone able to compile this?
[03:29] <noob> http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/a.bittau/frag-0.1.tgz
[03:29] <orasis1> Try 1024x768
[03:29] <elmargol> mwe: oh nice. i think this should be disabled by default
[03:29] <Snakehit> How do you update youre kernel? Plz
[03:29] <mwe> elmargol: probably, yes
[03:29] <Snakehit> -e
[03:30] <pdamoc> I only have 680x480 in screen resolution
[03:30] <mwe> elmargol: file a bug report
[03:30] <gsuveg> re
[03:30] <gnomefreak> Snakehit: what kernel do you have now?
[03:30] <orasis1> Pda, no other options at all?
[03:30] <Snakehit> i want to install the drivers of my wnic
[03:30] <pdamoc> even if in xorg.conf the monitor shows all the resolutions
[03:30] <Snakehit> and they say update your kernel
[03:31] <orasis1> Pda, it could be because your card .. is "intergrated"... intergrated chipsets.. are lombotomized \
[03:31] <Snakehit> I have no idea what kernel i have now
[03:31] <ardchoille> Snakehit: open a term and do uname -r
[03:31] <elmargol> mwe: Yes i fill one later
[03:31] <jnvilo> pdamoc: did you install the proper driver now? i.e. using the nv?
[03:31] <Snakehit> 2.6.15-26-386
[03:31] <bXi> is it possible to use /dev/input/js0 on another machine?
[03:31] <penguin42> ian1: Hmm this is from the dapper live CD?
[03:31] <pdamoc> it says nv in the driver section
[03:31] <Snakehit> the kernel i download is newer
[03:31] <ian1> penguin42, Sure is.
[03:32] <orasis1> Pda, I think it is because it is a onboard video card.. some of those do have probs with LInux..
[03:32] <penguin42> ian1: There is a 'safe' option isn't there? I assume that doesn't help?
[03:32] <ian1> penguin42, Safe option?
[03:32] <mwe> Snakehit: uname -r
[03:32] <Hyperpenguin> Will Ubuntu like it if I give it a ext2 boot partition, a shared 512 MB swap partition, and a 80GB or so ext3 partition?
[03:32] <ian1> penguin42, Is that an fkey option?
[03:32] <pdamoc> ora: it might be but what can I do?
[03:32] <penguin42> ian1: On the menu that comes up during boot there is a normal boot, a safe boot and a memtest isn't there?
[03:32] <Snakehit> i did mwe
[03:32] <orasis1> If in start -> settings -> display settings, you have no more res then 640x480 - your really going to have to do some hacking with your config files, maybe find another driver ....
[03:32] <Snakehit> i need to update him
[03:32] <Panos> Hello Guys
[03:33] <orasis1> Pda, get a real video card.. :P
[03:33] <jnvilo> orasisl: i have same card on my laptop here
[03:33] <Panos> What's up ?
[03:33] <ardchoille> mwe:  < Snakehit> 2.6.15-26-386
[03:33] <ian1> penguin42, One sec, this thing takes forever to reboot.
[03:33] <phuzz> if i link a dir to a users home dir the files in the link wont have the home dirs perms right?
[03:33] <orasis1> Onboard video.. are kind of like onboard modems you need the software to supply certain things it was built without, and this may be why Linux does not go well with it
[03:33] <Snakehit> the one i downloaded is : patch-<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:33] <mwe> Snakehit: well that's your running kernel. what makes you think you should be running a newer one?
[03:33] <jnvilo> pdamoc: how about your devide section? have you updated it to the resolution that you want?
[03:34] <penguin42> ian1: Hehe ok
[03:34] <Snakehit> the readme file says it :|
[03:34] <noob> i would be so greatful if anybody could help me compiling this: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/a.bittau/frag-0.1.tgz
[03:34] <Panos> May I ask sth ?
[03:34] <pdamoc> can I install Ubuntu in text mode?
[03:34] <ian1> penguin42, Safe graphics mode
[03:34] <ian1> penguin42, ?
[03:35] <u-sun> hello, for dapper, how do you update the "dapper-extras' repository?
[03:35] <penguin42> ian1: Ah is it just graphic? Might be worth a go
[03:35] <Panos> Can I install PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) on my Dapper Drake
[03:35] <ian1> penguin42, Trying now.
[03:35] <Panos> Using Wine or Using Cedega ?
[03:36] <jnvilo> u-sun i think you edit /etc/apt/sources.list and then do an apt-get update
[03:36] <penguin42> Panos: Well, Cedega is aimed at game stuff - look at their site to see fi it lists PES I'd say
[03:36] <Panos> Ok penguin
[03:36] <Hyperpenguin> Is it safe to let Ubuntu share /boot with Gentoo? Or should I make a new boot partition?
[03:36] <johnnyg>  how do I add a command to the code that runs during startup? Right now, if I don't "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" every time my wlan0 won't come up
[03:36] <Panos> Thanks for answering dude
[03:36] <u-sun> jnvile, what is the source list to insert?
[03:37] <penguin42> johnnyg: You could add it to /etc/rc.local   but for networking you are probably best to add it to an interfaces file
[03:37] <ian1> penguin42, Well, I've got a black screen, but that means little.  I think it's a built-in patience test.  I let it sit like this for 5 minutes and something happens.  I hope.  That's what it's done all night.
[03:38] <johnnyg> penguin42: I installed Ubuntu yesterday and am not too familiar - what interfaces file should I add it to and why that one?
[03:38] <penguin42> ian1: Weird - after you've let it get through that how far does ti get ?
[03:38] <ian1> penguin42, Any idea why a 5.10 installation (non-live) was working marginally better?
[03:38] <penguin42> ian1: No
[03:38] <u-sun> hello, what is the latest source list for dapper?
[03:38] <u-sun> 14:38 < u-sun> dapper-extras
[03:38] <penguin42> johnnyg: Does your /etc/network/interfaces have an entry for the network card?
[03:39] <ian1> penguin42, Ok, black screen didn't quit being black.  Any other ideas?
[03:39] <johnnyg> penguin42: also, currently my /etc/re.local is currently blank, is that proper?
[03:39] <penguin42> johnnyg: Yeh, it's a local file for local changes
[03:40] <noob> what is the most easy way to simulate a freebsd in my ubuntu?
[03:40] <johnnyg> penguin42: Yes, it has this:
[03:40] <johnnyg> auto wlan0
[03:40] <johnnyg> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[03:40] <johnnyg> wireless-essid linksys
[03:40] <penguin42> you wouldn't be pasting here would you?
[03:40] <noob> omg death sentence is for pasting
[03:41] <penguin42> johnnyg: Try adding on the line after the iface line something like       pre-up modprobe ndis-wrapper        that should run that before it brings the interface up - but I've not used ndiswrapper so I don't know if ther eis a prettyier way
[03:41] <Panos> Hmmmmm
[03:41] <XVampireX> So do people get ignored here alot?
[03:41] <atoponce> noob: simulate freebsd with a theme or just overall?
[03:41] <Panos> well Guys watch this http://transgaming.org/gamesdb/games/view.mhtml?game_id=4077
[03:41] <Panos> The playability rating is just 1/6
[03:41] <penguin42> XVampireX: Sometimes people just don't know the answers to peoples questions
[03:41] <XVampireX> "
[03:41] <Panos> Should I give it try ?
[03:41] <XVampireX> 16:39

[03:54] <jolt> Heh im new to using ubuntu, not linux, having a heck of a time figuring out why a couple packages wont install, even though im pretty sure the dependancies are installed
[03:54] <penguin42> jolt: What error do you get?
[03:54] <atoponce> jolt: what packages?
[03:55] <Nightattack>  ganymed: I tried to do that(install using ATI Driver Installer)  but it didn't work
[03:55] <t> sudo apt-get install apache2
[03:55] <bretzel> elmato: Strange because in GDM the sound works ( ear the tam-tam) :-) ... btw When I logged in after having deleted the orig. user, my new user lost EVERY admin sudoer even in the system menu, I had to maually add the groups and priviledges in /etc/sudoers and /etc/passwd;group to regain admin stuff ...
[03:55] <jolt> XV is bitching about lib2png, and electricsheeps bitching about libc6
[03:55] <t> It asks me to put in the Ubuntu cd
[03:55] <t> anyone know how to apt-get without the cd?
[03:55] <penguin42> jolt: During compilation or installing the binary?
[03:55] <t> i lost my ubuntu cd :(
[03:55] <jolt> installing the binary
[03:55] <penguin42> t: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:56] <atoponce> t: sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the cdrom line
[03:56] <penguin42> jolt: Hmm exact error please
[03:56] <XVampireX> [16:55]  <Nightattack> ganymed: I tried to do that(install using ATI Driver Installer)  but it didn't work
[03:56] <t> k thanks a lot!
[03:56] <Snakeiht> i need to format ubuntu :P
[03:56] <Snakeiht> i think i fucked up complet;)
[03:56] <penguin42> unlikely
[03:56] <tarzeau> Snakeiht: can you try a script before you format it?
[03:56] <gnomefreak> Snakeiht: watch your langauge please
[03:56] <atoponce> jolt: sudo aptitude install electricsheep
[03:56] <Snakeiht> excuse me gnomefreak
[03:57] <t> alright, it worked. Thanks guys!
[03:57] <tarzeau> Snakeiht: http://www.linuks.mine.nu/ubuntu/uncurse
[03:57] <atoponce> t: np
[03:57] <jolt> Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6 ..... and for xv the other Dependancy is not satisfiable libpng2
[03:57] <bretzel> elmato: I also did a distupgrade... but I doubt it is realted because as long as I had the old admin user, erveything worked find..until I deleted that user.
[03:57] <farous> hume_: never tried
[03:57] <gnomefreak> Snakeiht: watch your langauge. this is a family channel
[03:57] <penguin42> Tarandus: Yeech
[03:58] <BusMaster> i have a sony miniDV handycam and a usb cable to connect it to my computer. How do I pull in the videos from the tape?
[03:58] <Alex22_> hi
[03:58] <Snakeiht> tarzeau,  and what does that do?
[03:58] <elmato> bretzel : yeah the only reason I figured that broke is was because when I dist-upgraded from hoary to breezy 6 months ago it broke a lot of stuff... mainly sound.
[03:58] <Alex22_> how i can shared my Ubuntu disk to Mac OSX sistem, for save App's
[03:58] <BusMaster> i'm using dapper, by the way.  Itried using kino, but it apparently works on with ieee1394
[03:58] <penguin42> jolt: libpng2 doesn't seem to exist - I suspect it is ancient
[04:00] <bretzel> elmato: me is Dapper - distupgrade to to get Compiz/Xgl/cgwd + only... not the samething I think :-) thus it must be something with deleting a user created at the installation phase...
[04:00] <bXi> is it possible to use /dev/input/js0 on another machine?
[04:00] <jolt> was wondering if symlinking libpng2 to the current png library might work?
[04:01] <elmato> I agree... funny you mention compiz etc though... that is how I broke my original user :P
[04:01] <ych> is there a way to ping using a specific eth device, short of deactivating the other one?
[04:01] <jolt> is there any *good* reason to run compiz.. i have heard nothing but problems
[04:01] <ych> like some kind of ping -eth0 or something
[04:01] <tarzeau> Snakeiht: try to make a debian sid of it
[04:02] <tarzeau> Snakeiht: i need it tested
[04:02] <Troka> A Hacker roots MySpace : http://tinyurl.com/ef35u LoLoL ^-^
[04:03] <bretzel> elmato: In Dapper, I tell you that compiz didn't  brake anything ... Only after I've deleted the orig. user, I lost admin and sound with my new user which was working find < before > I deleted the installed user
[04:04] <bretzel> !configure sound
[04:04] <elmato> yeah I dunno... to be honest I wouldnt have a clue how to fix it. I was really just commenting that I had the same problem in the hopes that one of the gurus here would step in ;)
[04:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about configure sound - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:04] <ych> anyone know?

[04:06] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:06] <ccidral> hehe, ok
[04:06] <NthDegree> ccidral, what can I help you with?
[04:06] <ccidral> I have ubuntu 6.06 installed, and was a CRT monitor
[04:07] <ych> anyone know how to ping using a specific ethernet controller, if i have multiple?
[04:07] <ccidral> I bought an LCD monitor recently
[04:07] <NthDegree> ccidral, you can't get any display right?
[04:07] <jamiebarrow> ych: not sure.. have u checked the man pages
[04:07] <ccidral> yes. the refresh rate I was using for the previous monitor (85Hz) is not support by the new monitor
[04:08] <bretzel> ccidral: did you try (sudo) dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[04:08] <jamiebarrow> Anybody know Kernel programming?
[04:08] <NthDegree> ccidral, two ways to fix it
[04:08] <ccidral> no. I'm gonna try
[04:08] <Doodluv> !compiz
[04:08] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[04:08] <ccidral> yes NthDegree
[04:08] <jamiebarrow> ...or perhaps a channel specific to Linux 2.6 kernel programming
[04:08] <ccidral> NthDegree, let me know
[04:08] <NthDegree> either open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit the refresh rate on there
[04:09] <HeXiOn> hello
[04:09] <jamiebarrow> HeXiOn: hey
[04:09] <penguin42> Jamiebarrow: See http://www.kernelnewbies.org/  it has an irc channel
[04:09] <ccidral> wooooow... that was The File I was looking for ages! :-O
[04:09] <Distro^Junkie> hiya
[04:09] <jamiebarrow> penguin42: ah.. thanx!
[04:09] <NthDegree> or do as bretzel said before
[04:09] <ccidral> right
[04:09] <ccidral> thank you!!!
[04:09] <HeXiOn> when I launch amaroK I have this error: "...couldn't communicate with kdelauncher" and it doesn't minimize to tray. I'm using ubuntu (gnome). What should I do?
[04:10] <jamiebarrow> penguin42: do u have any experience with kernel programming urself?
[04:10] <tarzeau> Snakeiht: thanks
[04:10] <penguin42> Jamiebarrow: I've tinkered a bit but not done anything recently
[04:10] <jamiebarrow> Distro^Junkie: lol.
[04:10] <NthDegree> HeXiOn, because amaroK is traditionally a KDE app it has issues integrating into GNOME
[04:10] <jamiebarrow> penguin42: do you know how the copy_to_user function works
[04:10] <HeXiOn> NthDegree, so I can't do anything?
[04:11] <Distro^Junkie> HeXiOn, just install the kde-desktop
[04:11] <jamiebarrow> HeXiOn: if u like KDE, maybe try Kubuntu
[04:11] <HeXiOn> the whole kde-desktop
[04:11] <penguin42> jamiebarrow: I know what it is supposed to do, but I'd have to look it up - go try #kernelnewbies or the docs on their site
[04:11] <HeXiOn> jamiebarrow: no, I preffer gnome ;)
[04:11] <jamiebarrow> penguin42: ok. i will thanks.
[04:11] <HeXiOn> but I like amarok
[04:11] <uberspaced> hey; does anybody have experience with multiple network cards in the same box?
[04:12] <Jell-O-Fishi> uberspaced : please be more specific.
[04:12] <Subhuman> uberspaced, yeah
[04:12] <uberspaced> Jell-O-Fishi, will do
[04:12] <uberspaced> ok
[04:12] <Distro^Junkie> well amarok needs kde dependencies
[04:12] <jamiebarrow> HeXiOn: lol. well i think there is some project to create a standard between most GUIs so one day that problem might not be there anymore :D until then *shrug* i dunno
[04:12] <uberspaced> when I boot up with eth1 configured and active, my nslookups are going over that interface, instead of eth0
[04:12] <HeXiOn> ok, thanks ;)
[04:13] <uberspaced> if i disable it, and re-enable it, and re-run my firewall script, everything works as normal.
[04:13] <jamiebarrow> k bye, thanks again penguin42
[04:13] <penguin42> jamiebarrow: Np
[04:13] <uberspaced> I would like my eth0 to always handle outbound requests, instead of them being bounced back inside; does this have something to do with the way my default routes are configured on bootup?
[04:14] <Subhuman> uberspaced, goto System/admin/networking, and set the default gateway device to eth0
[04:14] <uberspaced> Subhuman, do you know the name of the /etc/networking? conf file?
[04:14] <uberspaced> i dont really use ubuntu that much
[04:14] <NthDegree> HeXiOn. look for a package called kdelauncher
[04:14] <uberspaced> well, i dont have much experience with doing these things on ubuntu
[04:14] <HeXiOn> NthDegree: I did, aptitude doen't have it
[04:15] <Subhuman> uberspaced, no ive never had any networking issues really so i dont know.
[04:15] <Jell-O-Fishi> uberspaced : /etc/network/interfaces ? i think
[04:15] <uberspaced> like /etc/network/interfaces
[04:15] <HeXiOn> I FIXED IT!!!! I did a dpkg-reconfigure amarok
[04:15] <uberspaced> yeah
[04:15] <HeXiOn> :)
[04:15] <uberspaced> Jell-O-Fishi, yeah; lookin into it now.  thanks :)
[04:15] <Hyperpenguin> Hey, does Gparted always take so long to do stuff? lol impatient me
[04:15] <uberspaced> haha, and there it is, gateway is set to my internal network
[04:15] <HeXiOn> oops, the message returned :S
[04:16] <uberspaced> (on redhat this crap is called /etc/networking)
[04:16] <uberspaced> close enough i guess.
[04:17] <NthDegree> HeXiOn, use rhythmbox if you use gnome
[04:17] <dannym> hi
[04:17] <HeXiOn> I think I'll add kubuntu repositories to see if I can install kdelauncher
[04:17] <uberspaced> can any of you who are using DCHP for an external interface give me the line in their /etc/network/interfaces file that specifies that eth0 is the external interface?
[04:17] <uberspaced> currently it's an ip address for me in the file
[04:17] <HeXiOn> NthDegree, I preffer amarok for it's LIRC support
[04:17] <NthDegree> HeXiOn, kubuntu repos are ubuntu repos
[04:17] <uberspaced> i wonder if I can use 'eth0' in its place
[04:17] <dannym> I wonder what to do when dpkg-buildpackage reports "dpkg-source: cannot represent change to desktop/qemu.png: binary file contents changed" ...
[04:17] <NthDegree> they share repos
[04:18] <uberspaced> or if i can delete the line entirely because eth0 is configured by DHCP
[04:18] <dannym> I just want it to build a deb, is it somehow possible to disable all the other cruft?
[04:18] <NthDegree> dannym, qemu is already in universe I think
[04:19] <Snakeiht> tarzeau,
[04:19] <Snakeiht> its finished
[04:19] <dannym> NthDegree: I'm patching it to include the mandatory gui stuff (desktop file, icon, launcher)
[04:19] <NthDegree> dannym, bad idea
[04:19] <dannym> NthDegree: why?
[04:19] <NthDegree> what's the point in making a deb file then?
[04:19] <lmosher> Anyone here an xgl expet? (no one is in #xgl)
[04:20] <NthDegree> dannym, the reason ubuntu on many sites was criticised was because universe maintainers and other users were patching software with poor patches
[04:21] <uberspaced> bah, i just deleted the gateway line.  if i really need it, shit should go terribly terribly wrong.
[04:21] <uberspaced> thanks for the help :)
[04:21] <Grok_> is there a way to modify the button mappings on a 3 button mouse so that the middle button when held will control scrolling? (alternative way of doing scroll wheel type of thing)
[04:22] <farous> any known tools to spin down external usb hard disk when idle?
[04:22] <ompaul> Grok_, it should work to scroll anyway - if in a window that understands that action
[04:22] <doublehp> whats the tool to auto detect and configure DSL internet connection for ethernet modems ?
[04:22] <erUSUL> doublehp: pppoeconfig
[04:22] <erUSUL> ??
[04:22] <ian1> Ok, booting from livecd, having error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20447 .  Tried many boot boot options... no dice.  Anyone able to help?
[04:23] <lmosher> farous, Is it a USB enclosure witha  desktop-sized HDD inside?
[04:23] <farous> lmosher: yap
[04:23] <ompaul> Grok_, have a look at sudo dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg  (just try scrolling not actually pressing in the wheel also - they are seperate actions ;-))
[04:23] <lmosher> farous, I don't have an answer, but I honestly suggest you -don't- use something like that
[04:23] <dannym> NthDegree: nag upstream then?
[04:23] <erUSUL> ian1: what processor does your machine have?
[04:24] <Hyperpenguin> ian1, looks like a BIOS error.
[04:24] <farous> lmosher: do not use what the hard disk or spin down tool?
[04:24] <ian1> erUSUL, P4 1.4
[04:24] <lmosher> farous, hehe you can use the hard disk, but I wouldn't suggest trying to spin it down
[04:24] <farous> lmosher: it gets really hot after a while?
[04:24] <farous> lmosher: and i can still return it ;)
[04:25] <realist> lmosher: interesting suggestion, why?
[04:25] <lmosher> farous, If you read about a tool called "laptop-mode" (it spins down laptop drives) they STRONGLY suggest not using it for desktop drives
[04:25] <Paladine_> !restricted
[04:25] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:25] <lmosher> farous, realist anyway, the reason is beacuse desktop HDDS are not rated for as many spindowns/spinups as laptop drives
[04:25] <erUSUL> ian1: the msg seems harmless as you do not have an smp processor. does it prevent booting? try disabling hyperthreading
[04:25] <ian1> erUSUL, tried "live acpi=off noapic nolapic", "rescue acpi=off", live acpi=off".... None worked...
[04:26] <lmosher> farous, realist: I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was like 1,000 vs 10,000 or something. They made it clear that using this tool could actually take a year off yoru drive life..
[04:26] <ccidral> hello
[04:26] <ccidral> thank you guys! now I have ubuntu up and running again  :-)
[04:26] <farous> lmosher: thanx for the warining :)
[04:26] <ian1> erUSUL, Well, if I let the comp sit for a while (3 minutes+) it attempts to continue... But always fails.  I don't know if my comp actually uses hyperthreading.  If it did, how would I turn this off?
[04:27] <lmosher> farous, yeah np.. if it dosen't make a different to you read up on laptop-mode. You may be able to get it to work for you
[04:27] <farous> lmosher: the problem is that it heats up and never even shutdown after 5 hours
[04:27] <farous> making it very hot
[04:27] <chaz_> Hey guys, anyone know how to format an SD card to FAT or FAT32 in Ubuntu please.
[04:27] <sto6ma9ch> mkfs -t vfat
[04:27] <farous> lmosher: i hooked it up to a desktop so laptop-tools is not for it anyway
[04:28] <farous> lmosher: i read about sdparm
[04:28] <b_> can someone help me adding a script
[04:28] <b_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20450
[04:28] <lmosher> farous, Well I think you coudl install laptop-tools on a desktop, but the thing is I don't think you can tell it -which- drive to control... i.e. it would spin down your main hdd too
[04:28] <Jamie> hum... im trying to fix my TV out.. but i have no idea what i am doing. coudl anyoen helpm me? ive installed so i have NVIDIA X Server Settings
[04:28] <b_> info is their i just donm't know how do add to init
[04:28] <Jamie> but in there i can only find my computer screen
[04:28] <erUSUL> ian1: maybe in the bios?? i've never owned a p4 with ht sorry... you can try to update your bios too
[04:29] <farous> lol laptop-mode-tools was installed by default on my desktop
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamie: Hi, what type of P4 problem
[04:29] <lmosher> farous, Since you say the drive goes hours inactive it's probably perfectly safe to spin it down... Just a matter of figuring out how to make it work
[04:30] <Jamie> Jack_Sparrow: no P4 problem.. tvout-problem here.
[04:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Jamie: Sorry, came in late..
[04:30] <lmosher> farous, lol, yeah I think I have it too it's just not enabled :P It's kind of a neat utility for laptops b/c it uses a fairly large cache.. Waits 5 mins, spins up, writes, spins down.. etc.
[04:31] <Jamie> anyoen gotten theit tvout tow ork? i have a nvidia geforce 4 card..
[04:31] <bretzel> It getting me Very frustrated ... Even in KDE - no sound card - but logging out back to GDM I ear the tam-tam ... very frustrating.
[04:32] <bretzel> can;t search for that specific problem in ubuntu forums, google...
[04:32] <Whyvas> Jamie, you have to add a new monitor in your xorg.conf
[04:32] <bretzel> can't find*
[04:32] <erUSUL> b_: edit your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile file and add the two lines
[04:32] <jolt> got another one, i cannot wake up from hibernate on a asus p5a OEM with ubuntu..
[04:32] <farous> lmosher: how can you tell if it is working or not
[04:32] <Jamie> Whyvas: how? i dont understand how?
[04:32] <Whyvas> Jamie, OR you can just use nvtv
[04:32] <b_> yeah but im not sure how to do that
[04:33] <Jamie> Whyvas: nvtv ok.. apt-get install nvtv?
[04:33] <Whyvas> Jamie, get nvtv from synaptic then google it's use
[04:33] <Whyvas> i think so
[04:33] <Jamie> oki
[04:33] <lmosher> farous, Just type "sudo lapto_mode" and watch it say "disabled, not active" :)
[04:33] <Whyvas> it's something like nvtv -r 800, 600 -N NTSC -T -s Large
[04:33] <Grok__> ompaul: i timed out after your last response. after digging into this further i looked at me xorg.conf file in the mouse section. the zaxis mapping is set for "4 5" which i assume is that side bar area on the touch pad. if i change that to "2" should that solve my problem? and will that conf file reload with a "ctrl alt bkspc"?
[04:34] <Whyvas> something like that but im sure that's not how it is
[04:34] <b_> i have no idea where ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile is located
[04:34] <erUSUL> b_: '~' means your home directory /home/user/
[04:35] <b_> ahhhh
[04:35] <farous> lmosher: cool thanx for you help have to continue googling :)
[04:35] <lmosher> farous, good luck
[04:35] <chaz_> Hey guys, anyone know how to format an SD card to FAT or FAT32 in Ubuntu please.
[04:35] <ian1> When using a live cd, is there a way to boot in CLI and still use the "install" function?  I would give my soul to know how to do this...
[04:35] <erUSUL> chaz_: mkfs.vfat
[04:36] <chaz_> what does that do
[04:36] <farous> ian1: use the alternate c
[04:36] <farous> d
[04:36] <lmosher> chaz: 'man mkfs' give you a hint mk = make, fs = filesystem
[04:36] <sto6ma9ch> chaz_: Open a Terminal and type "mkfs -t vfat /device/location"
[04:36] <erUSUL> chaz_: MaKeFileSystem.vfat  (vfat is fat32)
[04:37] <ian1> farous, Different ISO image?
[04:37] <b_> bash is not located there
[04:37] <b_> is there a comand to edit it
[04:37] <farous> ian1: yap
[04:37] <farous> ian1: won't be able to boot from the cd though
[04:38] <jameson> hello. how can I start/activate universe ?
[04:38] <farous> !universe > jameson
[04:39] <jameson> thx
[04:39] <erUSUL> jameson: with synaptic
[04:39] <ian1> farous, I'm just looking to install it.  But having issues with SMP and MP tables.  Don't know if CLI version of livecd will help, but..
[04:39] <Luke> For some reason i dont see "reboot" or "shutdown" when i go to System/Exit anymore
[04:39] <Luke> how do i get that?
[04:39] <b_> couldn't i just add cd $HOME/boinc
[04:39] <b_>      nice boinc_client >/dev/null & to the  sysytem prefs sessions startup tab
[04:39] <ompaul> Grok_, your numbers are right for such a mouse - suggest you do what I said "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it works out of the box - DONT press the button scroll it
[04:39] <sto6ma9ch> jameson: Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file and delete the # in front of the lines that have the "universe"
[04:40] <ompaul> Grok_, so don't change the numbers
[04:40] <farous> ian1: i think the livecd do not have the text based installer. the alternate cd is much better in that respect
[04:40] <jameson> thx a lot guys
[04:40] <ian1> farous, Were you saying I won't be able to boot from the alt cd?
[04:40] <farous> ian1: and the livecd have other issues too. for install the alternate cd is much better
[04:40] <jgpons> Hello everyone. Anyone could tell me what to do with an unconfigured package I want to remove? I've tried remove --force-all with no luck. Thanks in advance.
[04:41] <farous> ian1: no you can boot test your sys from it and use it to install the os but not through the text based mode
[04:41] <ian1> farous, So use the alt iso image to install, remove cd, and I should be able to proceed as normal, yes?
[04:41] <farous> ian1: yap
[04:41] <david__> I looked in the weforums and i can't seem to find how to network ubuntu with win98, can someone help?
[04:41] <sto6ma9ch> jgpons: Open a termianl and type "sudo apt-get -f install"
[04:42] <jgpons> sto6ma9ch trying it now
[04:42] <ian1> farous Well, as everything else has failed and I can't seem to get anyone else who knows what's up with my error... Might as well. :D Thanks.
[04:42] <b_> crap alirght ill figure this out on my own thanks anyways
[04:42] <doublehp> my DSL ethernet modem is connected to both ethernet and DSL; pppoeconf did not detect the modem, but still the modem blinked; which other tool can help ?
[04:43] <Luke> For some reason i dont see "reboot" or "shutdown" when i go to System/Exit anymore. Anyone know how to fix this?
[04:43] <jgpons> but I don't thinks it will work. The package is vmware-player and I think I've screwed it up too much it will not configure. I want just to get rid of it and start from scratch again
[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Luke: I had that happen after I was playing around in sudo and also installed Kubuntu-desktop over gnome
[04:43] <Luke> Jack_Sparrow: nope I didnt install kubuntu over gnome =D
[04:43] <jgpons> It didn't work. Dpkt returned an error code(1). Thanks anyway.
[04:44] <Jamie> hum
[04:44] <jgpons> I meant dkpg
[04:44] <spinz8r> hi, why are there root processes when i type top in terminal even though i have nver enabled root account. How do i disable the root processess.?Thanks.
[04:44] <Jamie> ive installed nvtv.. but how do i use it anyay? there is nothing about it in my menus
[04:44] <jgpons> dpkg brrrrrr.... #@&& laptop keyboard :)
[04:44] <sto6ma9ch> jgpons: I'm almost positive that the VMWare Player comes with its own uninstaller script. Check the directory that was created when the tarball was extracted.
[04:45] <erUSUL> spinz8r: many processes of the system run with root priv. no matter if you have root account or not.
[04:45] <scrappy_> Jamie: open a terminal and type 'nvtv&' see if it works
[04:46] <jgpons> sto6ma9ch Is that directory anywhere under /tmp?
[04:46] <sorush2> hi guys how do get my   A8N-VM CSM to be fully supported
[04:47] <Jamie> scrappy_: something happens.. [1]  5860 ouput
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> sorush2: too cryptic for me.. something about an asus mb
[04:48] <jgpons> I can't find it. hat I did to screw as much my config was to mix vmware-player (installed via deb package) and vmware-server (installed from the tarball). Now I'm stuck with vmware-player as a nonconfigured package. I'd just like to get rid of it, even manuallu
[04:48] <jgpons> manually
[04:49] <sto6ma9ch> jgpons: the VMWare Player uninstaller script is located @ vmware-player-distrib/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl
[04:49] <sto6ma9ch> jgpons: Depends upon where you extracted the package
[04:50] <jgpons> I used the default... didn't specify any location
[04:50] <scrappy_> Jamie: id read the text files in /usr/share/doc/nvtv/ directory
[04:50] <sto6ma9ch> jgpons: Did you download VMWare Player from VMWare's site?
[04:51] <jgpons> No. I used synaptic. There is a specific ubuntu package. I tried to install it _after_ i installed _server from the tarball.
[04:51] <jgpons> (the ubuntu package is in multiverse)
[04:51] <sto6ma9ch> jgpons: What was the package name that you installed via deb?
[04:51] <scrappy_> Jamie: there is a USAGE.gz you might type sudo gunzip USAGE.gz then opent that usage file in gedit
[04:52] <slon`> ok
[04:52] <munsa> how do I send somone a message on this thing?
[04:52] <jgpons> sto6ma9ch it is vmware-player_1.0.1-4_i386.deb
[04:53] <scrappy_> munsa: /msg nick texttosend
[04:53] <munsa> thanks
[04:53] <sto6ma9ch> jgpons: What happens when you open Synaptic and try to mark "vmware-player" for removal?
[04:54] <jgpons> I'm trying it now
[04:54] <bretzel> elmato ?
[04:54] <elmato> sup?
[04:54] <elmato> any luck ? :P
[04:55] <bretzel> yes, but tell me if you lost sound card in user or into system-wide ?
[04:55] <elmato> just in the new user
[04:55] <bretzel> elmato: okay then, what I did is
[04:56] <Hyperpenguin> Sheesh. Does Gparted always take 30min+ to do stuff? </impatience>
[04:56] <jgpons> sto6ma9ch It's kind of a catch-22 situation. It refuses to deinstall because it is not configure. and the config script fails :)
[04:56] <drbreen> i have a problem: abiword-gnome does not want to install b/c it depends n abiword-common and vice versa
[04:57] <drbreen> catch-22 ?
[04:57] <bretzel> elmato: 1: removed high-end module of my snd-card ( me is *emu10k1* )
[04:57] <sto6ma9ch> jgpons: Let's try this from the command line. Open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install autoclean". Then "sudo apt-get update". Let me know when that's done.
[04:57] <Stormx2> !easysource
[04:57] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[04:57] <drbreen> strange. it works after i install libenchant
[04:58] <Jay> anyone having WiFi problems?
[04:58] <bretzel> elmato: 2: edited /etc/passwd and manually readded my orig user ( #user:1000:1000:my name:/bin/bash ...etc...)
[04:58] <Jay> on the new install
[04:58] <Jay> or upgrade
[04:58] <JackONeill> Hey, I just booted up and my mouse was reeeeeeally slow - keyboard fine tho... any ideas why?
[04:58] <gerhard_> I just installed automatix-de in a chroot environment, but I cant launch it now
[04:58] <gerhard_> what to do?
[04:58] <bretzel> 3: elmato: edited /etc/group and did same : re-added orig user
[04:59] <Stormx2> !xorg
[04:59] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:59] <gerhard_> stormx2 is that meant as an answer to my question?
[04:59] <bretzel> 4: still in /etc/group: located audio group line and added current user as member ( let say bretzel for me )
[04:59] <tarzeau> bretzel: then did newgrp ?
[05:00] <doublehp> !adsl
[05:00] <ubotu> Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ADSLPPPoE
[05:00] <bretzel> elmato: I really don't know which of those steps fixed thing a gave me back my user access to the sound card....
[05:00] <Jamie> hum.. ok im trying nvtv now.. but i get errors.. hum.. like this: sudo nvtv -t -r 800,600 -s Large ---> Defaulting to PAL TV system. Fatal: Cannot find 'Large' mode 800 x 600
[05:00] <Jamie>
[05:00] <bretzel> tarzeau: group and orig user was already there before I deleted it. just re-insterted manually the orig user
[05:01] <elmato> heh... sweet. I didnt delete my original user. so Ill try steps 1 and 4 out in a sec
[05:01] <drbreen> i have a question: is there a program that copies a package and all its dependencies on my usb stick so i can install it on a pc w/o internet ?
