[12:01] <bayzin> please can one someonehelp me
[12:01] <nalioth> EpP: wep and wga are not really well supported in linux, much less with apple products
[12:01] <martinvdk> Does MACROMEDIA FLASH work in linux on firefox/opera??
[12:01] <Crescendo> I can't get audio on my flash installation... it was working before.
[12:02] <Crescendo> Yes, marcin_ant
[12:02] <nalioth> !flash > martinvdk
[12:02] <Crescendo> Erm.  martinvdk
[12:02] <Crescendo> ~_~
[12:02] <gnomefreak> martinvdk: yes unless your on ppc or 64bit
[12:02] <flyingmonkey350> phone call.....did i miss anyting?
[12:02] <martinvdk> I can't get it to work :S
[12:02] <bayzin> can some one help me  install my nintedo wifi usb connector on ubuntu
[12:02] <gnomefreak> martinvdk: read what ubotu sent you
[12:03] <martinvdk> thank you very much gnomefreak :D
[12:03] <Flannel> bayzin: Looks like i's a RT2570.  It's doable, this page may be of some help. http://masscat.afraid.org/ninds/rt2570.php
[12:03] <offroadgeek> is 'make bzImage' similar to 'make-kpkg'?  if not, what's the difference?
[12:03] <gnomefreak> ty nalioth ;)
[12:03] <Flannel> bayzin: that is, if it doesn't work out of the box
[12:04] <Far^Side> so is there any chanes that 2.6.18 will be backported to Dapper or Edgy, when it has been released?
[12:04] <EpP> nalioth, so there is no way?
[12:04] <Sithik> hey all.. couple quick questions before i pop in the ubuntu cd
[12:04] <gnomefreak> Far^Side: no
[12:04] <nalioth> EpP: if you work hard enough, there is always a way, but for most of us, no.
[12:04] <gnomefreak> Far^Side: they dont backport kernels
[12:04] <EpP> nalioth, hmmm
[12:04] <Asc> I think bzimage outputs a bzimage and modules folder, offroadgeek: while make-kpkg gives you a .dpkg that installs the kernel and modules automagically
[12:04] <Sithik> since this will be for my fiance (who desperately needs some microsoft compatability (looking at CrossOver Office?), I was wondering if anyone got Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing working?
[12:04] <mrcoyote> yep
[12:05] <Asc> move that name: back a sentenst....
[12:05] <flyingmonkey350> well i found the samba book so i think ill step out for a bit and read that and then come back with my questions.....im sure ill have questions :P......thanks for the help always good to find a helpful community
[12:05] <Asc> sentence, even :\
[12:05] <Far^Side> gnomefreak, ok
[12:05] <Flannel> Sithik: google might be of more help
[12:05] <carthik> Does anyone know of any apps/tools to "normalize" the volume in all my music files (mp3/ogg)?
[12:05] <offroadgeek> Asc: thanks
[12:06] <nalioth> carthik: i believe it's called "normalize"
[12:06] <Sithik> well.. heres a silly question... since ubuntu is the "linux for human beings" what makes it more of a desktop (entry level linux) compared to say redhat/fedora/mandrake, etc? THIS IS NOT A FLAME STARTER, LEGIT QUESTION
[12:06] <nalioth> Sithik: watch your caps please
[12:06] <carthik> nalioth, really? (sorry for asking such a stupid question then - me goes looking)
[12:07] <nalioth> Sithik: you might ask your question in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:07] <Sithik> nalioth no, i was merely trying to point out that is was not intended to start flames
[12:07] <nalioth> Sithik: understood, but it's still a good question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:07] <offroadgeek> Asc: would it hurt if I do both?  I've never booted into a bzimage... but I have done (I think successfully) installed a newly compiled kernel via make-kpkg via the .deb it makes
[12:07] <sehute> carthik: apt-cache search normalize
[12:08] <carthik> yeah Sithik come on over to ubuntu-offtopic
[12:08] <fatih> hallo
[12:08] <mantono> I just updated to the latest 686-kernel on my ubuntu-server and now doesn't X work (it says it can not find the nvidia module). I got nvidia-glx installed and everything worked before.
[12:08] <janito> hi
[12:08] <janito> heeeeeeeeeeelp
[12:09] <fatih> hallo
[12:09] <anhra> hi
[12:09] <Asc> offroadgeek: The end result is pretty much the same, just that with bzimage you have to install the stuff manually.  make-kpkg is easier.
[12:09] <Flannel> janito: we can't help you until you ask a question
[12:09] <offroadgeek> Asc: thanks, again!
[12:11] <janito> i have problems with midi out port :S o como se escriba no hablo ingles :S
[12:11] <mantono> Isn't anyone else here running ubuntu-server with X?
that page is really confisuing me i have no idea what it wants me to do
[12:11] <nalioth> !es > janito
[12:11] <HnH> mantono: I did the other way
[12:11] <HnH> installed desktop, then removed things I don't need
[12:11] <mantono> HnH: what do you mean?
[12:12] <HnH> and installed things I need :>
[12:12] <mantono> HnH: well, that's also a way
[12:12] <erUSUL> mantono: you have to 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)'
[12:12] <cheatersrealm> so I was dragging my top panel (the one with the applications and such) and it got turned into a small icon with just the ubuntu icon, and I can't get anything except for applications.  anyone know how to move it back to a regular sized panel?
[12:12] <HnH> someone got experience in tweaking vsftpd?
[12:12] <mantono> erUSUL: already tried that
[12:13] <abo> I hate when these things happen!! I lost the sound in Ubuntu, I was installing ntfs-fuse and setting it, and rebooted and no sound!!!
[12:13] <Towering> ok, i'm at a loss, how do you unhide files in ubuntu?
[12:13] <abo> can anyone help me get the sound back in ubuntu?
[12:13] <nalioth> !sound > abo
[12:13] <frying_fish> Towering: how are they hidden?
[12:13] <sehute> abo: did you change kernel and/or try changing the volume?
[12:13] <frying_fish> if they are just the .foo then just do "mv .foo foo"
[12:14] <bayzin>  <Flannel>that page is really confisuing me i have no idea what it wants me to do
[12:14] <HnH> Can someone give tutorial link of making virtual users under vsftpd?
[12:14] <Towering> i can't see them when going through the File Browser window like you can in windows
[12:14] <Flannel> bayzin: well, you'll have to compile some drivers.  Essentially. again, unless it works out of the box.  Actually, this appears that it might work.  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=106846  That'll be more step-by-step.  Might not necessarily work with the nintendo one, but try doing that, then if it doesnt work, go back and try and understand that oter page
[12:14] <erUSUL> Towering: unhide?? filenames with a starting dot are hide the others no
[12:14] <Flannel> bayzin: you already said that
[12:14] <abo> sehute, didn't change the kernel, didn't touch the disks no...
[12:14] <Flannel> Towering: View > show hidden files
[12:14] <nalioth> Towering: be very careful renaming .files
[12:14] <DaReD3ViL> i need a driver for  wmp54g
[12:14] <DaReD3ViL> linksys*
[12:14] <Towering> i know about the renaming and all, i just want to see files
[12:14] <Flannel> Towering: don't ever rename things, that changes their filename, and things wont work
[12:15] <nalioth> !wireless > DaReD3ViL
[12:15] <Towering> yeah.. i know
[12:15] <DaReD3ViL> !wireless  wmp54g
[12:15] <ubotu> I know nothing about wireless  wmp54g - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:15] <Towering> i'm just trying to find things that wine installs, but they're always hidden
[12:15] <nalioth> DaReD3ViL: look at your private messages, please
[12:15] <sehute> HnH: http://www.google.com/search?q=%20tutorial%20link%20of%20making%20virtual%20users%20under%20vsftpd
[12:15] <Flannel> Towering: right, you need to go to view > show hidden files
[12:16] <Towering> thx.. that's all i wanted/needed to know, for now
[12:16] <sehute> abo: tried changing the volume?
[12:16] <DaReD3ViL> uh, okay
[12:16] <abo> sehute, what do u mean changing the volume, like the disks? or what exaclty?
[12:17] <cheatersrealm> hey, fuse seems to be working with ntfs-3g
[12:17] <cheatersrealm> huzzah
[12:17] <HnH> sehute: very funny.
[12:17] <nalioth> abo: the volume on your panel (in software)
[12:17] <Zyfo> I've got 2 ext3 spaces, one where my root is and one free. How do I make Ubuntu understand that I want the free one to be my /home?
[12:18] <yipe> how can I make a video take up less room?
[12:18] <abo> sehute, nalioth, no I didn't change the volume
[12:18] <Flannel> Zyfo: you'd have to mount it there
[12:18] <sehute> abo: no, the sound volume, like alsamixer, gnome-volume-control, kmix or xfce4-mixer
[12:18] <yipe> it's a very large video, 108mbs, and youtube only allows 100mb maximum
[12:18] <soundray> Zyfo: you need a line in /etc/fstab that ensures that it's mounted as your /home
[12:18] <sehute> abo: (doubleclick the little speaker-icon and play some music)
[12:18] <Flannel> yipe: compress it? reencode it at different quality/framerate/etc
[12:18] <Zyfo> ok, thanks.
[12:18] <yipe> yeah, but what can I use to do that Flannel
[12:19] <abo> sehute, nalioth, now if double click on the sound icon I get an error message: "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[12:19] <sehute> HnH: I didn't mean it as a joke
[12:19] <Zyfo> Is there a way I can login as root in GUI so I can change names and stuff?
[12:19] <Flannel> yipe: no idea, search the cache for some reencoders, there's plenty, depending on your formats
[12:19] <soundray> Zyfo: no, you use sudo for that
[12:19] <sehute> abo: try removing arts and installing esound
[12:19] <Zyfo> soundray, can I just edit that btw?
[12:19] <soundray> !tell Zyfo about sudo
[12:19] <Zyfo> I know about sudo but that's terminal, no?
[12:19] <yipe> it's in avi
[12:20] <sehute> abo: does lspci include your soundcard on the list?
[12:20] <nalioth> Zyfo: not recommend that you do that
[12:20] <Zyfo> if I login in terminal I still won't be logged in in naut
[12:20] <sehute> abo: does lsmod include your soundcard on the list?
[12:20] <nalioth> Zyfo: not recommend to log in as root
[12:20] <soundray> Zyfo: when you call up programs in System-Administration, those use gksudo (graphical version)
[12:20] <sehute> abo: is alsa-utils installed?
[12:20] <HnH> sehute: I've searched there, nothing really usefull there. The only thing I fould is http://viki.brainsware.org/VirtualUsers
[12:20] <Zyfo> what's the commands to edit files in terminal then?
[12:20] <HnH> but it's for freebsd
[12:20] <sehute> HnH: okay, sorry I don't know of any other sites
[12:20] <soundray> Zyfo: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[12:20] <HnH> Zyfo: nano
[12:20] <Zyfo> aha like that, thanks soundray
[12:20] <yipe> what format will come out smaller than /avi?
[12:21] <Zyfo> HnH, what's the difference?
[12:21] <yipe> .avi*
[12:21] <sehute> HnH: (you wouldn't believe how many people asks questions without googling)
[12:21] <soundray> Zyfo: nano runs inside the terminal
[12:21] <HnH> Zyfo: nano is a console editor
[12:21] <abo> sehute: sudo apt-get remove arts?, no alsa there
[12:21] <Zyfo> ah, but gedit can't run in terminal can it? :p
[12:21] <HnH> gedit - graphical
[12:21] <Zyfo> kk I see, thanks
[12:21] <abo> sehute, I'm sure I used to have alsa
[12:21] <sehute> abo: start Synaptic packagemanagement
[12:21] <Flannel> Zyfo: you can start it from a terminal, 'gksudo gedit [filename]
[12:21] <sehute> abo: remove arts
[12:21] <cga> !help
[12:21] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[12:22] <soundray> ubotu, all-knowing?
[12:22] <ubotu> I know nothing about all-knowing? - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:22] <abo> sehute:  sudo apt-get remove arts
[12:22] <soundray> :)
[12:22] <sehute> abo: install esound alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-base alsamixergui
[12:23] <sehute> abo: okay, if you don't like synaptic better
[12:23] <HnH> some1 know where's pam_mysql.so located in ubuntu?
[12:23] <abo> sehute, something weird I can't find synaptic!!
[12:23] <sehute> abo: is your system completely hosed? :)
[12:23] <nalioth> !apt-file > HnH
[12:23] <Flannel> abo: are you on KDE?
[12:23] <sehute> abo: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop alsamixergui alsa-tools alsa-oss esound alsa-base
[12:23] <sehute> abo: (if you use xubuntu, else install ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop or whatever)
[12:24] <abo> Flannel, I'm on ubuntu, I was playing around installing xubuntu-desktop, could that be the problem?
[12:25] <Flannel> abo: nah.  If you cant find it in a menu, you can at least just run "gksudo synaptic" in a terminal, and that'll start it.
[12:25] <sehute> abo: do you use dapper?
[12:25] <sehute> abo: are you in a gui?
[12:25] <abo> when I do sudo something... nothing runs!!!!
[12:26] <abo> sehute I'm in gnome
[12:26] <sehute> abo: alt+f2
[12:26] <sehute> abo: gksudo nice synaptic
[12:26] <sehute> abo: does it work?
[12:26] <abo> sehute,The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[12:26] <sehute> abo: alt+f2
[12:26] <sehute> abo: gnome-terminal
[12:27] <sehute> abo: sudo -s
[12:27] <sehute> abo: does that work?
[12:27] <sehute> abo: how about su -
[12:27] <Flannel> sehute: su wont work unless he has root set.  And, wait for his responses before flooding him commands ;)
[12:27] <nalioth> sehute: we don't su in ubuntu, sudo -i is more correct
[12:27] <sehute> nalioth: but if sudoers is borked, then?
[12:27] <abo> sehute, something isn't screwed,  su asks for a password,
[12:27] <nalioth> sehute: if sudo is borked, we can help him fix it
[12:27] <sehute> Flannel: yeye
[12:27] <abo> sehute, which password should I use? the same as my login?
[12:27] <Agrajag> sehute: root doesn't have a password, su will do no good
[12:28] <nalioth> abo: correct, use your regular user pass with sudo
[12:28] <sehute> nalioth: how are you going to help him fix sudo without being root?
[12:28] <Flannel> abo: you won't be able to use it.  What errors do the sudo commands help?
[12:28] <Flannel> sehute: recovery console
[12:28] <sehute> abo: no password
[12:28] <soundray> sehute: how about you sit back and watch?
[12:28] <sehute> soundray: no
[12:28] <Flannel> sehute: unless he has a root password set, then it gets magnitudes more difficult
[12:28] <soundray> sehute: suit yourself
[12:28] <sehute> soundray: yes
[12:28] <abo> Flannel,sehute, su didn't work with my passowrd, sudo isn't giving any error message but is not doing anything
[12:29] <Flannel> abo: right, su doesn't work on ubuntu
[12:29] <sehute> abo: did the prompt change to "#"?
[12:29] <jesspher> does anybody kjnow how to configure wine the right way?
[12:29] <abo> sehute, no
[12:29] <nalioth> abo: what were you trying to do again?
[12:29] <nalioth> jesspher: you might ask in #winehq
[12:29] <davey_> how can I turn off the fraim buffer with out going thew the whole config prosses
[12:30] <abo> nalioth, I thought there is a problem with my sound system, I can't get sounds, but it seems something wrong with my permissions
[12:30] <nalioth> abo: did you follow the howto ubotu sent you in a PM ?
[12:30] <Warbo> Hi. I can't get many programs to run (I am currently in a failsafe terminal), there are no consoles on ctrl-alt-F1>F6, the messages on ctrl-alt-F8 have stopped at "Starting DHCP server" and "top" says "iwlist" is taking 95%+ of my CPU. I can't use sudo, it just waits without asking for a password, so how can I kill iwlist?
[12:30] <tuxtux> bye at all
[12:30] <Zyfo> sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /old <- what does /old stand for here? is it /old at root or what?
[12:31] <abo> nalioth, I couldn't find multimedia system selector
[12:31] <Ronz> Zyfo, old is where it will mount to
[12:31] <Warbo> Zyfo: That puts the contents of /dev/hda1 into the folder /old
[12:31] <Flannel> Zyfo: that's your mount point, cd /old will get you to hda1
[12:31] <sehute> nalioth: his sudo doesn't work. It seems like many, many packages are missing
[12:31] <Zyfo> woha, 3 answers
[12:31] <davey_> can someone help me disable the framebuffer?
[12:31] <soundray> Warbo: you could powercycle
[12:31] <davey_> anyone have any genral idea where it is in xorg.conf
[12:31] <nalioth> abo: can you join us in #ubuntu-classroom please?
[12:32] <Agrajag> davey_: the framebuffer is not part of xorg
[12:32] <davey_> agrajag, ! then how do I find it to disable it?!?
[12:32] <Agrajag> it's loaded when the kernel loads, you can chage the kernel commandline in grub and add nosplash nofb
[12:32] <Warbo> soundray: It does it at boot, there's no preventing it unless I uninstall whatever is causing it. I can't uninstall stuff since sudo isn't working (presumably since it is getting no cycles)
[12:32] <Zyfo> Warbo, ok but where is the /old located? is it a root or some subdir of home or media?
[12:32] <davey_> Agrajag, uhhh...... kernel commandline?
[12:33] <Agrajag> in the grub menu, choose your kernel and hit e
[12:33] <hchaudh1> hey all
[12:33] <Warbo> Zyfo: "/" is where everything is stored, so "/old" is directly in "/"
[12:33] <Zyfo> thats what I don't get, I've heard you shouldn't have any extra dirs at root, but it seems like it puts on here, no?
[12:33] <shiv> where are all the Program files located in linux to add it to the startup?
[12:33] <Agrajag> then choose the kernel commandline (the line starting with linux) and remove splash and add nosplash nofb
[12:33] <Zyfo> is that normal or should you put it in something like /mnt/data1?
[12:33] <davey_> Agrajag, ok then if I disable it do you think it will break anyting? becasue right onw my screen flickers a little bit someotimes and no one knows why so I was going to try that
[12:33] <Agrajag> then hit b to boot
[12:33] <erUSUL> shiv: what are you trying to do?
[12:33] <Agrajag> davey_: if you do it the way I just told you, it's temporary.
[12:33] <HnH> web@rg-soft:/etc$ sudo apt-get install apt-file
[12:33] <HnH>   ...
[12:33] <HnH>   ...
[12:33] <HnH> E:     apt-file
[12:33] <HnH> web@rg-soft:/etc$
[12:34] <soundray> Warbo: perhaps you need to boot from a live CD and disable the iwlist call from there
[12:34] <Agrajag> if it breaks, you just reboot and it'll load like normal
[12:34] <shiv> like add firefox to auto start on login
[12:34] <Ronz> to format my hard drive, i use fdisk, right?
[12:34] <Warbo> Zyfo: It is impossible to have more than one root directory, but making folders inside the root directory is not too bad. As long as you don't treat it as a general storage area like many Windows users treat C:\
[12:34] <Agrajag> if it works the way you want, you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to make it permanent
[12:34] <DrBashir2> shiv:  system>preferences>sessions should be there somewhere
[12:34] <Zyfo> Warbo, I see, where would you keep them?
[12:34] <davey_> Agrajag, oh... alright I'll try it to see if it works good then i'll be back to check with you man thanks
[12:34] <soundray> Ronz: no, fdisk is for partitioning
[12:34] <Agrajag> your screen flickers in X?
[12:34] <Ronz> soundray, what do i use for formating /dev/sda1?
[12:34] <Agrajag> that's probably not the framebuffer but you can try it
[12:35] <soundray> Ronz: what type of filesystem do you want on it?
[12:35] <davey_> Agrajag, ya i've been here bfore
[12:35] <Agrajag> oh ok
[12:35] <davey_> Agrajag, it only does it SOMETIMES
[12:35] <shiv> DrBashir2: I know that, but don't know where to browse to add to the startup the desired prorams
[12:35] <erUSUL> shiv: add it to the session System>Preferences>sessions
[12:35] <Agrajag> well give that a shot anyway
[12:35] <davey_> Agrajag, ya thats what I thought
[12:35] <hchaudh1> I have a question about Compiz, ever since I installed it, my NetBeans IDE is not working. So, is there a way to turn off Compiz temporarily and then turn it back on again. I used the hotto on ubuntuforums by poofyhairguy to install it, and it runs with the "thefuture" command
[12:35] <Zyfo> Warbo, but wait a second, if it will be a root does that mean it will take up space of the root partition I have created or what, I guess not? :p
[12:35] <nalioth> HnH: please don't paste in here, use a pastebin.
[12:35] <Warbo> Zyfo: I keep my stuff in /home/chris. I have mounted a huge partition in /home/chris/Files, which lets me keep my music and stuff seperate from my preferences (which are directly in /home/chris) so I can use it on loads of distros without permission screw ups (NEVER try to use the same home folder across multiple distros, it won't work :) )
[12:35] <Ronz> soundray, im gonna use it for my music and software. i will ALWAYS be playing music from it. what would you reccomend?
[12:35] <Ronz> soundray, i used to use reiserfs with gentoo
[12:35] <DrBashir2> shiv: justp put firefox, nothing else. It will find it
[12:35] <Flannel> Zyfo: no, mount points are just folders, it doesn't take up space, just 'attaches' itself
[12:36] <axxel> i have a problem, the livecd won't start after it has booted, anyone help me..?
[12:36] <shiv> I see great! Thanks
[12:36] <Zyfo> Flannel and Warbo, I see, thanks
[12:36] <dylan_> hello peeps
[12:36] <dylan_> i'm getting a rather strange firefox bug
[12:36] <gregg__> Ronz: use ext3 for compatibility
[12:36] <dylan_> when visiting sites with javascript
[12:36] <DrBashir2> shiv: np, just learned that myself a day or 2 ago :)
[12:36] <Ronz> ok gregg__ . how do i go about formatting it though?
[12:36] <dylan_> anyone able to help me?
[12:36] <shiv> DrBashir2: are u a medical dr?
[12:37] <Ronz> nope dylan_ , no one is here. =P
[12:37] <axxel> iv'e booted the livecd from 3 different computers but it wont start..
[12:37] <dylan_> course not ;)
[12:37] <erUSUL> !anyone > dylan_
[12:37] <Ronz> all 825 of us are idle
[12:37] <soundray> Ronz: ext3 is standard -- for that you would use 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/sda1'. For reiser, you would use either mkreiserfs or mkreiser4, but I don't know the syntax. Try man mkreiserfs
[12:37] <dylan_> here's the terminal output:
[12:37] <dylan_> http://reversial.com/err.txt
[12:37] <mantono> anyone else having problem booting X on server-install with latest kernel?
[12:37] <DrBashir2> shiv: No, Docter Bashir from startrek deep space nine :)
[12:37] <dylan_> whenever i visit a site with JS, it just quits on me
[12:37] <shiv> lol
[12:37] <shiv> ok
[12:37] <dylan_> no questions asked
[12:37] <axxel> Ronz, That's too bad, because i also need help :/
[12:37] <gregg__> Ronz: there's a utility called mkfs.ext3
[12:37] <nalioth> !tell axxel about verify
[12:37] <Warbo> soundray: It is to do with my RaLink WiFi card. It did this when I plugged it in and booted (PCI), and I "solved" it by moving everything beginning with "iw" out of /sbin, then moved them back after booting. Since I haven't been at home for a week, this HD was booting fine in another computer without a WiFi card, I just forgot about the problem when I turned it on in my own computer just now. I would prefer to solve the proble
[12:37] <nalioth> axxel: you should verify (see the PM) and burn the image at less than 4xs
[12:38] <Ronz> aight, thanks soundray
[12:38] <Ronz> should i partition frist?
[12:38] <Ronz> *first
[12:38] <axxel> nalioth, So i'll have to burn my cd again? :/
[12:38] <soundray> Ronz: you have to, unless there is a partition already.
[12:38] <Ronz> ok. Thanks!  =)
[12:38] <nalioth> axxel: after you verify the md5sums, you should make sure you burn it at 4x or less
[12:38] <Ronz> lets hope i can get this bad boy back in working order..
[12:38] <yipe> does anyone know of a simple-to-use, GUI video re-encoder?
[12:39] <nalioth> yipe: transcode?
[12:39] <soundray> Warbo: I've got ralink working - are you on the latest kernel?
[12:39] <axxel> nalioth, Okay i see.. does it make any sense if i burn it at an CD-RW?
[12:39] <alienseer23> hello, if I am logged in to the console, how do I switch to root user, please?
[12:39] <htv8> how's configuring your internet/e-mail in ubuntu???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[12:39] <Warbo> yipe: There are some QT based ones for KDE. Search Google
[12:39] <htv8> does internet work immediately?
[12:39] <yipe> transcode is console-based
[12:39] <htv8> after installation?
[12:39] <nalioth> axxel: cd-r or cd-rw shouldn't make a diff, UNLESS the cd-rw has been used hundreds of times
[12:39] <Ronz> soundray, i get this when i go to fdisk the drive:  WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument.
[12:39] <yipe> !encode
[12:39] <ubotu> I know nothing about encode - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:39] <Warbo> soundray: No, 2.6.15-23-k7. Changing my kernel will require the creation of a new boot CD
[12:39] <yipe> darn
[12:39] <gregg__> alienseer23: use 'sudo' selectively for commands which require it, or 'sudo -s' to get a root shell
[12:40] <nalioth> yipe: aren't you supposed to be in #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[12:40] <alienseer23> what about for configuring x config??
[12:40] <Ronz> gregg__, or sudo -i
[12:40] <nalioth> !tell alienseer23 about xcfg
[12:40] <yipe> am I?
[12:40] <alienseer23> it wouldn't let me
[12:40] <hchaudh1> alienseer: su <username> or if you are trying to execute something as a super user use sudo instead
[12:40] <htv8> how's configuring your internet/e-mail in ubuntu???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[12:40] <yipe> nope, I'm not
[12:40] <Paladine> alienseer you nvidia?
[12:40] <jesspher> how come i always fail  to download wine-dev to the repository?
[12:40] <jesspher> please help
[12:40] <alienseer23> yes
[12:40] <DrBashir2> !battery
[12:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about battery - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:40] <Asc> htv8: yes, internet works immediately, if your internet adapter is working.  Email is just as easy on windows.
[12:40] <Paladine> nvidia-xconfig
[12:40] <bayzin> i cant figure it out
[12:40] <DrBashir2> !power management
[12:40] <ubotu> I know nothing about power management - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:41] <Warbo> hchaudh1: "su" only works for root anyway, so to use it you have to "sudo su"
[12:41] <nalioth> !tell DrBashir2 about fishing
[12:41] <soundray> Ronz: maybe there isn't a partition table on it. Maybe try with gparted
[12:41] <yipe> I got in trouble in there from ompaul (for a perfectly good reason)
[12:41] <axxel> nalioth, Okay, it's been used about 2 times earlier, so i guess that's not the problen ;)
[12:41] <alienseer23> !xcfg
[12:41] <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
[12:41] <Paladine> alienseer sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[12:41] <nalioth> yipe: ok. you are not identifed.
[12:41] <Paladine> it will install nvidia-xconfig
[12:41] <hchaudh1> k, I would like to turn off compiz, how do I do that?
[12:41] <Paladine> and the official nvidia drivers
[12:41] <DrBashir2> uhm nalioth... you ok?
[12:41] <nalioth> alienseer23: what is wrong with your private message window?
[12:41] <erUSUL> Warbo: su can make you whatever user you want try 'sudo su <user>'
[12:41] <alienseer23> nal, dunno
[12:41] <yipe> now I am nalioth
[12:42] <Paladine> alienseer, then man nvidia-xconfig for the settings to pass from the command line
[12:42] <_keNzi> hi, anynone have installed modem Sagem F@st 800 ?
[12:42] <_keNzi> on Edgy Eft
[12:42] <Warbo> erUSUL: I know, but to "get root" by using su instead of sudo doesn't work, since you need to use sudo to run su anyway :)
[12:42] <erUSUL> _keNzi: go to #ubuntu+1
[12:42] <erUSUL> Warbo: right ;)
[12:42] <Warbo> _keNzi: I have written guides for both drivers for it, but for Dapper
[12:42] <davey_> I don't think I did it wight
[12:43] <Warbo> _keNzi: What kernel is Edgy using?
[12:43] <_keNzi> 2.6.17-5
[12:43] <davey_> I put in the line under the code because i didn't want to mess it up so I put "o" and then d and put in nofp
[12:43] <davey_> i mean nofb
[12:43] <hchaudh1> can anyone tell me how to turn off compiz
[12:43] <XVampireX>  Is 2.6.17 really faster?
[12:43] <Agrajag> davey_: anything you change there is tempporary. Go ahead and chage it
[12:43] <nikin> what is the password for sudo on liveCD?
[12:44] <Paladine> hchaudh1, reverse what you did to turn it on
[12:44] <DrBashir2> nalioth: Im not the type of person that would abuse stuff, I like this channel very much, and try to help people where I can
[12:44] <davey_> Agrajag, i did I added a line under it
[12:44] <_keNzi> nikin there is no password ;P
[12:44] <_keNzi> make sudo su -
[12:44] <waky> ^^
[12:44] <davey_> Agrajag, does that work or does it have to be on the kernal line?
[12:44] <Agrajag> davey_: put it on the kernel command line
[12:44] <Warbo> _keNzi: OK, you should have the ueagle-atm driver installed already (it was intorduced in 2.6.16). Go on the UsbAdslModem page of the community wiki (help.ubuntu.com/community) and follow the guide for ueagle-atm, but remember that you already have it installed (but you may not have the firmware)
[12:44] <nikin> _keNzi: thx
[12:44] <Agrajag> if it's not on the kernel command line, then it's not being passed to the kernel
[12:45] <Agrajag> you won't break ANYTHING. you can fill that line with gibberish and worst thing that happens is you hit reset and it goes back to normal.
[12:45] <davey_> Agrajag, alright... I'll be back I'm going to go put "nofb" and theres a part that says "splash" should I edit that ? I just want the minimum possible
[12:45] <_keNzi> thanx Warbo
[12:45] <Agrajag> make the splash part say nosplash
[12:45] <davey_> Agrajag, alright
[12:45] <Agrajag> I think bootsplash forces the fb to load
[12:45] <davey_> I'll be back then
[12:45] <Warbo> _keNzi: I need to write a bootup script for that page, but so far I have one working, but it doesn't accept "start" and "stop", which means it tries to connect at shutdown (and it includes a 1 minute wait when it connects :( )
[12:46] <shiv> Has anybody resoved the suspend issue? My screen remain blank when trying to wake up from suspend
[12:46] <soundray> Agrajag: I usually recommend adding kernel options to the #kopt line, to avoid changes getting lost during the next kernel update
[12:46] <Ronz> omg, my hard drive is BACK UP AND RUNNING
[12:46] <martinvdk> shiv: I GOT THE SAME PROBLEM
[12:46] <soundray> Ronz: well done. How?
[12:46] <Ronz> soundray, a few days ago it died. had fat32 on it
[12:47] <rexykik> backups ftw
[12:47] <Ronz> pulled what i could off of it, and use gparted to format it
[12:47] <Agrajag> soundray: he's doing this from grub, nothing will be saved anyway
[12:47] <Ronz> rexykik, i cant tell ya that enough. =P
[12:47] <martinvdk> Sometimes I can press ctrl+alt+F1, stop gdm, start gdm - and then it starts without I have to press and hold the off-button
[12:47] <jifix> i have been using ubuntu for long time since 4.10 and a few days ago i got a cd with ubuntu 6.06
[12:47] <soundray> Agrajag: okay, sorry, I missed that
[12:47] <Agrajag> I don't think the fb is his problem, but if this fixes it he can make it permanent later
[12:47] <Warbo> "  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
[12:47] <Warbo>   5421 root      25   0  1724  456  376 R 86.0  0.1  23:56.62 iwlist" How do I stop iwlist hogging the CPU and stopping other stuff (like sudo) from working?
[12:47] <Ronz> martinvdk, when you push ctrl alt f1, you actually change desktops. thats why it will come up sometimes in the middle of the session
[12:48] <Ronz> martinvdk, if im not mistaking, ctrl alt f4 is the default one
[12:48] <martinvdk> yeah
[12:48] <Keddie> anyone using xgl?
[12:48] <Kr4t05> Keddie, me.
[12:48] <rsk> Keddie, #ubuntu-xgl
[12:48] <Keddie> rsk, thx
[12:48] <martinvdk> Ronz: and SOMETIMES it helps to adjust the screen brightness, or even to change workspace (ctrl+alt+right)!?!?
[12:48] <Keddie> Kr4t05, did you just install the package and that was it?
[12:49] <martinvdk> I'm on breezy though
[12:49] <soundray> Warbo: if you can't sudo, there is no way you can kill iwlist without forcing a shutdown.
[12:49] <nikin> what package do i have to make ? i ame using the live cd
[12:49] <Kr4t05> Keddie: no, it's more complex than that.
[12:49] <nikin> which package contains make and gcc?
[12:49] <soundray> nikin: build-essential
[12:49] <Agrajag> nikin: build-essential
[12:50] <Keddie> Kr4t05, I just tried Kororaa XGL live cd and it was great. I would like to get that with ubuntu
[12:50] <nalioth> Keddie: join #ubuntu-xgl fo taht
[12:50] <Warbo> soundray: Do you know if it is essential to my networking (I use wired and wireless)? Otherwise I might just move it out of $PATH from a LiveCD
[12:50] <jifix> i have been using ubuntu for long time since 4.10 and a few days ago i got a cd with ubuntu 6.06 and when i put the cd on my pc in order to install it the live cd cd started and then when it was to enter the gnome i hear the sound but the monitor says out of range and i cannot see nothing. Can i start the installaion only without to start the livecd? answer private please
[12:51] <nalioth> Warbo: you are in the livecd?
[12:51] <soundray> Warbo: I'm not sure, but since it's called automatically on boot, I would assume that it's needed during wireless setup.
[12:51] <Warbo> nalioth: No, I am in a failsafe terminal (but I have launched Fluxbox)
[12:51] <Kr4t05> Keddie: One moment.
[12:51] <davey_> I'm back, I don't know if it makes a diffrentce because the problem is very speratic
[12:51] <Kr4t05> Keddie: what type of graphics card do you have?
[12:51] <davey_> I mean it did flicker a little bit at diffrent spots but the same as it always does
[12:52] <Keddie> Nvidia 6600gt
[12:52] <Kr4t05> Ok
[12:52] <jifix> someone help me
[12:52] <jifix> i have been using ubuntu for long time since 4.10 and a few days ago i got a cd with ubuntu 6.06 and when i put the cd on my pc in order to install it the live cd cd started and then when it was to enter the gnome i hear the sound but the monitor says out of range and i cannot see nothing. Can i start the installaion only without to start the livecd? answer private please
[12:52] <davey_> I have no options to choise from and I'm using the proprietary ati drivers, that are bomb I got 3d on it man
[12:52] <nalioth> !tell jifix about repeat
[12:52] <nikin> there is no such package....
[12:52] <Agrajag> !info build-essential
[12:52] <Zyfo> sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1
[12:52] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In repository main, is optional. Version 11.1 (dapper), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[12:53] <Zyfo> oops, wrong, sorry
[12:53] <Agrajag> nikin: yes there is
[12:53] <soundray> nikin: then your repos aren't setup correctly
[12:53] <Warbo> jifix: There is now no "install" and "live" CDs, they have been combined into a single "desktop" CD. However, if you aren't bothered by the live bit and you just want to install, there is still a text-based CD called the "alternate" CD
[12:53] <DrBashir2> !tell DrBashir2 about repeat
[12:53] <erUSUL> jifix: you need the alternate cd
[12:53] <nalioth> DrBashir2: all you have to do is /msg ubotu FACTOID
[12:53] <davey_> Agrajag, I think I turned off the fb is there a way to check, and it doesn't seem much differnt
[12:54] <Agrajag> davey_: run lasmod|grep fb and see what's loaded
[12:54] <Agrajag> er
[12:54] <jifix> ok thanks but can i change the Hz of the live cd?
[12:54] <Agrajag> lsmod|grep fb
[12:54] <Kr4t05> Keddie: start here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager
[12:54] <DrBashir2> nalioth: cheers
[12:54] <mwe> davey_: ls /dev/fb*
[12:54] <Agrajag> see if fbcon or vga16fb are loaded
[12:54] <Keddie> Kr4t05, thx
[12:54] <Warbo> jifix: I think there is a "fialsafe" graphics mode, which I assume uses conservative settings
[12:54] <Warbo> *failsafe
[12:54] <davey_> mwe, it says no such file or directory
[12:55] <mwe> davey_: good
[12:55] <mwe> davey_: it's not enabled then
[12:55] <jifix> i happens the same there
[12:55] <jifix> with the old live cd everything was ok
[12:55] <Warbo> jifix: Are you REALLY bothered about using it as a LiveCD, or do you just want to install 6.06?
[12:55] <Sleeping_Sloth> hello - anyone running 64 bit system here?
[12:55] <davey_> mwe, remember that flickering problem, I was trying to get it to work agrajag helped me disable the frame buffer because I thought that might be the cause and I got the new ati binary drivers
[12:56] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: yes
[12:56] <davey_> sleeping_sloth, I am
[12:56] <mwe> davey_: oh yes
[12:56] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray, davey - do you have any issues with mozilla-mplayer?
[12:56] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: sry, haven't tried
[12:56] <davey_> mwe, blender runs with weird type everywhere and looks distroted, I don't know if thats tied to i but it used to not even start when i used the opensoure drivers
[12:56] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray, davey - I get multiple instances of the player
[12:56] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: ah
[12:57] <wthww> hello hello
[12:57] <davey_> Sleeping_sloth, never used it
[12:57] <Frankenstein> hi, can someone tell me what preloader is?
[12:57] <Sleeping_Sloth> davey: meh
[12:57] <Frankenstein> !preloader
[12:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about preloader - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:57] <Agrajag> Sleeping_Sloth: doesn't mplayer rely pretty heavily on 32-bit binary windows codecs?
[12:57] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: go to "about:plugins" in the browser and see if you have multiple entries for movie files
[12:57] <Agrajag> you may need to run a 32-bit firefox
[12:57] <Warbo> davey_: Blender uses a 3D interface, which for me runs fine on DRI radeon driver, but on Nvidia it gradually turned pink every few minutes, then switched back to gret again. Pretty weird
[12:57] <Frankenstein> or install w32codecs
[12:57] <mwe> davey_: I don't think I can help you
[12:57] <Agrajag> w32codecs won't work on a 64-bit system
[12:57] <jifix> first i want to install but with the answer that you gave me before i think this wil be ok. But i want to use the live cd too in evergency setuation and to show new users.
[12:58] <Frankenstein> oh :(
[12:58] <nikin> i realy cant find that package
[12:58] <davey_> mwe, lol alright
[12:58] <Frankenstein> dont touch that 64 bit junk
[12:58] <arto> !devel
[12:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about devel - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:58] <arto> !dev
[12:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about dev - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:58] <jifix> they will work install them Agrajag
[12:58] <arto> what do devel files mean for any package?
[12:58] <mwe> arto: please /msg the bot
[12:58] <wthww> lol
[12:58] <davey_> Warbro, i know it looks pretty tight but it's like the fonts are all messed up or something
[12:58] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: I do
[12:58] <jifix> first i want to install but with the answer that you gave me before i think this wil be ok. But i want to use the live cd too in evergency setuation and to show new users.
[12:58] <Agrajag> arto: those are header files so you can compile a program against that library
[12:59] <Warbo> jifix: Well the alternate CD can install, and for LiveCD you can either use an older Ubuntu disc or use some other LiveCD like KNOPPIX for rescue situations. Since showing Ubuntu to other people will not be using your computer, the Ubuntu LiveCD will probably work on theirs
[12:59] <SeanTater> arto: usually the header file used in compiling sources
[12:59] <Agrajag> well, header files and static libs
[12:59] <mantono> Is there someone more having problems using OpenGL drivers (nvidia-glx) on server-install?
[12:59] <Sleeping_Sloth> agrajag: that mayb be the case, but there was a .deb in the 64 bit repositories, so I figured the libraries must have been compiled for 64 bit
[12:59] <SeanTater> arto: source code too
[12:59] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: then you have multiple instances of mplayerplug-in.so in the path that the browser searches for plugins.
[12:59] <arto> Agrajag, aha.. so in case of the ati fglrx driver package generated devel files.. are they needed for install?
[12:59] <mister_roboto> ubotu: tell me about pim
[12:59] <Agrajag> Sleeping_Sloth: they can't be recompiled, they're binaries lifted from windows systems
[12:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about pim - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:00] <Agrajag> They porbably work fine on a 64-bit system assuming you have a 32-bit mplayer installed
[01:00] <davey_> You know what, my laptop flickers when it gets really hot... that might be it
[01:00] <Sleeping_Sloth> agrajag: well, put it this way then :  "I got it from the repos"
[01:00] <Agrajag> arto: no
[01:00] <arto> Agrajag, SeanTater, thanks for response.
[01:00] <Agrajag> arto: at least I doubt it
[01:00] <jifix> i dont thing show and i want risk it. You know that people saw then they see that something is not working "f***g linux i will use windows"
[01:01] <nalioth> mister_roboto: /msg ubotu FACTOID
[01:01] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: sort your multiple plugins problem out first. I don't think this is a 64-bit issue.
[01:01] <Warbo> Frankenstein: Preloader starts commonly used programs at login, but in the background. That means that whenever you try to start them they will appear instantly, since they are already running. I know OpenOffice already has something like that, but Preloader is not in Ubuntu yet (I noticed it in the MOTU candidates yesterday)
[01:01] <alienseer23> !xcfg
[01:01] <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
[01:01] <shiv> is there any program in linux like deamon tools? Which can create virtual CD drives?
[01:01] <mister_roboto> nalioth: thanks!  :)
[01:01] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: after a closer look, I'm not so sure there is a problem
[01:01] <davey_> ok not imporatnt but if anyone knows, how do I make firefox in wine look pretty, it looks really bad because the type is all lame and stuff
[01:01] <mwe> shiv: you can mount an iso out of the box
[01:01] <Frankenstein> Warbo: i seen it in a ubuntu tutorial... my firefox loads superfast along with xmms and all my terminals
[01:02] <davey_> and I have to use the wine version because I like flash 9
[01:02] <shiv> mwe: how? just right click?
[01:02] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: I've installed mozilla-mplayer meantime. Can you point me to a page where you have the problem?
[01:02] <Leeif> hi. how do i install smart package manager?
[01:02] <mwe> shiv: I don't know about clicking. sudo mount -o loop /path/to/isofile /mnt should do it
[01:02] <jhasse> Can someone tell me, how i can continue a bittorrent download after a reboot??
[01:02] <nikin> ok i found it... now installing :D
[01:02] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: oh, do you mean it's fixed?
[01:02] <Sleeping_Sloth> any video on bbc - hang on
[01:03] <nalioth> jhasse: start it again
[01:03] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: no, sadly :p
[01:03] <Warbo> Frankenstein: I use so many programs every day, and very intensive ones like GIMP, Moho (animation), Bender, Inkscape, etc., I wouldn't really feel comfortable with them starting at login, since I would lose loads of RAM
[01:03] <nalioth> jhasse: it will pick up where it left off
[01:03] <jhasse> nalioth: i don't have the torrent-file anymore
[01:03] <nikin> !gimp
[01:03] <nalioth> jhasse: then you need to get it
[01:03] <ubotu> An advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.
[01:03] <jrib> cyber_brain_mfkg: did you figure the shortcuts out?
[01:03] <Warbo> jhasse: Make sure you save the ".torrent" file, and just double click it after rebooting
[01:03] <jhasse> nalioth: is there no other way?
[01:03] <nalioth> jhasse: not that i know of
[01:04] <Leeif> nalioth: hi again :p. how do i install smart package manager?
[01:04] <redcard> But, Warbo, you wouldn't need to put the process intensive ones in:)
[01:04] <jhasse> nalioth: ok, thx
[01:04] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: if you go to bbc.co.uk, in the sport section there is a 'watch/listen to BBC Sport'
[01:04] <Warbo> redcard: Then I wouldn't need to put ANYTHING in. The only things I use are resource hungry :)
[01:04] <nalioth> Sleeping_Sloth: #ubuntu-offtopic please
[01:05] <redcard> Warbo: I'd think something like mail.. or GAIM.. would slide in there for me
[01:05] <Sleeping_Sloth> nalioth: this isnt off-topic
[01:05] <Leeif> nalioth: are you there?
[01:05] <davey_> alright people I'm going thanks everyone that helped so much!
[01:05] <nalioth> Sleeping_Sloth: the beeb and sports are offtopic here
[01:05] <Sleeping_Sloth> nalioth: is fixing an mplyaer plugin problem off-topic???
[01:05] <soundray> nalioth: we're reproducing a problem he's having.
[01:05] <Warbo> Sleeping_Sloth: I have started using bbcworld.com/click rather than bbc.co.uk/click since their embedded realplayer player no longer gives a direct link for me to open the movie in Totem. The bbcworld site doesn't use the embedded player
[01:05] <takitus> I am having some trouble getting my nvidia drivers to function properly... can anyone help me out?
[01:06] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: did you pick wma or real?
[01:06] <Leeif> nalioth: lol
[01:06] <orbital04> Is this for developers only, or can I ask stupid user questions here also?
[01:06] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray:.... I forget - real I *think*
[01:06] <Warbo> redcard: GAIM is in my gnome-session startup anyway :)
[01:06] <redcard> Warbo: Hehe :)  It should be in mine :P
[01:06] <redcard> Actually.. no it shouldn't.  I never really log out
[01:06] <Warbo> orbital04: It is for support and users. #ubuntu-devel is for developers, go ahead and let us laugh. Sorry :)
[01:07] <nalioth> orbital04: there are no stupid users, and yes this is the Ubuntu support channel
[01:07] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: server doesn't seem to respond
[01:07] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: are you in the US?
[01:07] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: I think it *may* only be available to UK users....
[01:07] <Warbo> orbital04: It just seems a little "in depth" since easy problems are fixed right away, and only the really complicated ones hang around :)
[01:08] <orbital04> I can't find the gstreamer plugins to make my rhythmbox play mp3's in the multi or universe repositories, boo hoo
[01:08] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: no
[01:08] <Leeif> how do i install s.m.a.r.t. package manager?
[01:08] <Warbo> orbital04: They are called "gstreamer0.10-<something>" Are you sure you have Universe and Multiverse, and not just backports Universe and Multiverse? (a common mistake)
[01:08] <Agrajag> orbital04: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[01:09] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: well, I've got the content ok
[01:09] <Agrajag> also gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
[01:09] <Agrajag> the multiverse one probably includes non-Free stuff
[01:09] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: can you play http://www.soundray.org/mri_mh_movie.mpg ?
[01:09] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: hold on
[01:09] <mister_roboto> Leeif: apt-cache search --names-only smart
[01:09] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: I get 3 instances on bbc
[01:10] <mister_roboto> Leeif: smartpm - An alternative package manager that works with dpkg/rpm
[01:10] <takitus> anyone know anything about installing nvidia drivers?
[01:10] <orbital04> i have the list of plugins, i should double check i'm listing all the repositories,
[01:10] <Leeif> thanks roboto
[01:10] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: I get 2 or 3 sound channels
[01:10] <JJman100> use automatrix auto installer for Nvidia drivers...
[01:10] <anachronoks_> Hello, I installed Ubuntu on an unused HD and when I restarted.. LILO isn't finding my XP drive. Anyone know how I can get back to it?
[01:10] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: sounds like a very, very bad echo
[01:10] <takitus>  jjman100 where do i find that

[01:11] <JJman100> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190025
[01:11] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: and no video (thats all on bbc) - but on your example... the video plays (but there is no sound)
[01:12] <JJman100> this will shwo you how to install automatrix which gives a number of easy-to-install pacakges including MP3, video codecs etc.
[01:12] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: it doesn't have any
[01:12] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: then it works :)
[01:12] <anachronoks_> I can't get to my XP hardrive.. help?
[01:12] <takitus> jjman100 you from pittsburgh?
[01:12] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: do you have a working example with sound?
[01:12] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: blame the bbc?
[01:12] <jrib> anachronoks_: you just want to mount it?
[01:12] <JJman100> no, Canvey Island UK
[01:12] <root___> does ubuntu hae the mp3 codec installed by default?
[01:12] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: no
[01:12] <jrib> root___: no
[01:12] <jrib> !mp3 > root___
[01:12] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: never! :p
[01:12] <mwe> did the channel policy about automatix change or did someone mess with the factoid?
[01:12] <Agrajag> root___: no, it's not legally able to
[01:13] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: I should really add a crunching sound to the brain one ;)
[01:13] <anachronoks_> root___: That's a start but I can't boot to it either
[01:13] <jrib> mwe: changed, it's under new development
[01:13] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray:  nice work btw
[01:13] <root___> oh, sorry guys
[01:13] <wthww> lol
[01:13] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: let me see if there's a non-bbc sound and video stream that breaks
[01:13] <Ronz> haha
[01:13] <Agrajag> IRCing as root, tsk tsk
[01:13] <wthww> i had to sudo irssi. i must have irssi
[01:14] <Agrajag> why did you have to use sudo on irssi?
[01:14] <wthww> Agrajag: i know, but i love my Irssi
[01:14] <mwe> sudo irssi?!
[01:14] <wthww> it wont work any other way
[01:14] <Agrajag> wtf
[01:14] <wthww> if i just type irssi
[01:14] <Agrajag> why not, what does it do?
[01:14] <wthww> its not found
[01:14] <Agrajag> ok, run sudo which irssi
[01:14] <mwe> wthww: yes if you sudo chown -R you ~/.irssi
[01:14] <gnomefreak> wthww: install irssi-text please
[01:14] <Agrajag> and find out why it's not in your users $PATH
[01:15] <Ronz> is there a program that i can use to browse my windows partition?
[01:15] <Agrajag> Ronz: yeah, any file browser will do it
[01:15] <mwe> wthww: if you ran it with sudo the first time it could have broken the perms of .irssi
[01:15] <Agrajag> Ronz: you have to mount it
[01:15] <Ronz> ah, ok. thx Agrajag
[01:15] <wthww> k...
[01:15] <tich> i use the gnome-power-manager and most of its functions work but it won't dim or put the display to sleep when inactive. how do i fix this?
[01:15] <Agrajag> !ntfs > Ronz
[01:16] <mwe> wthww: sudo chown -R wthww ~/.irssi
[01:16] <anachronoks_> Let's try this again.. I installed Ubuntu and I can't get back to Windows
[01:16] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: do you have an entry for windows in your grub boot menu?
[01:16] <rsk> anachronoks_, great =)
[01:16] <anachronoks_> LILO
[01:16] <wthww> heh, worx now
[01:16] <Agrajag> oh
[01:17] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: lloks like it may be the bbcs fault, I think I've found wma and realplayer steams that work :/
[01:17] <Agrajag> I haven't used lilo in forever, but anyway, is there an entry?
[01:17] <wthww> i messed up irssis
[01:17] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: I'm glad I pay my license....
[01:17] <wthww> permissions
[01:17] <wthww> lol
[01:17] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: I could reproduce your multiple instances problem now.
[01:17] <redcard> wthww: Well, reinstall it :)
[01:17] <anachronoks_> Agrajag: That's a good question, I'm kind of a newbie but I'll check it
[01:17] <redcard> sudo apt-get install --reinstall irssi
[01:17] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray:  you can?
[01:17] <wthww> i know, ill do it in a couple hours
[01:18] <warpzone> hey guys, quick question
[01:18] <wthww> im not even at home right now
[01:18] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: I mean, I assume there isn't, otherwise you would have tried it, right?
[01:18] <wthww> (on the road) lol
[01:18] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: yeah, it opened three. I stopped two of them, then it sounded okay.
[01:18] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray; but no video , right?
[01:18] <warpzone> i want to remove rhythmbox, but when I do it tries to remove ubuntu-desktop as well. will this break my install?
[01:18] <mwe> wthww: if you ran irssi with sudo the first time do what i told you to fix it
[01:18] <anachronoks_> Agrajag: Yeah, LILO just boots into Linux
[01:18] <wthww> kk mwe
[01:18] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: ok, look in the file /etc/lilo.conf
[01:19] <Agrajag> I think that's the one
[01:19] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: right :(
[01:19] <Agrajag> and see if there is an entry there for booting windows
[01:19] <chip42> warpzone: it shouldn't ubuntu-desktop is a meta package. removing it doesn't remove all the packages it installed
[01:19] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: just run gedit /etc/lilo.conf to open it read-only
[01:19] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: ok - well thanks for the help mate - I was puzzling over that for a while
[01:19] <anachronoks_> Agrajag: okay, I'll check it, thanks :)
[01:19] <GottferDamnt> sombody uses Mondo/Mindi here?
[01:19] <warpzone> chip42: roger dodger thanks man
[01:19] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: but I witnessed the races in person today ;)
[01:19] <wthww> ty mwe
[01:19] <J-_> what's a good program, that i can use to easily burn iso's?
[01:19] <nikin><EMAIL_ADDRESS>does anyone have any experiences with Genius Wizardpen on ubuntu?
[01:20] <redcard> No.. he's right.
[01:20] <GottferDamnt> gnomebaker?
[01:20] <redcard> apt-get -s remove rhythmbox removes rhythmbox and ubuntu-desktop
[01:20] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray: lol. and lost a lot of money, right?
[01:20] <magnus87> J-_ : gnomebaker
[01:20] <Agrajag> J-_: if you're using gnome, you should be able to just right-click the iso file and choose to burn it
[01:20] <Agrajag> can't get much easier than that
[01:20] <J-_> k cool, thanks.
[01:20] <GottferDamnt> need some help about mondo rescue :/ !
[01:21] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: I didn't risk that much ;)
[01:21] <redcard> Should that be logged as a bug?
[01:21] <anachronoks_> Agrajag: Nothing for Windows, but I found boot=/dev/hda (my XP drive is hdb, I suppose it's worth a shot)
[01:22] <Sleeping_Sloth> soundray - thanks for the help, much appreciated. I'd better stop before some admin gets the wrong end of the stick and accuses me of trolling... cheers
[01:22] <bayzin> my freind got rid of windows on my machine and unfortainly i do not have the windows install disk how do i ubuntu off and windwos back on
[01:22] <mwe> redcard: no
[01:22] <wthww> anyone read the forum thread (ubuntu forums) about laptops fans not working?
[01:22] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: ok, here's what you need to do.
[01:22] <mwe> redcard: ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package
[01:22] <redcard> mwe: So if you remove rhythmbox, it should remove the ubuntu-desktop package?
[01:22] <Ronz> wthww, my laptop fan works fine. what ones weren't wroking?
[01:22] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: open the fiole with root permissions (sudo gedit /etc/lilo.conf)
[01:22] <soundray> Sleeping_Sloth: just tried wma - one instance only, but no video, either
[01:22] <mister_roboto> J-_: if you use kde, k3b is a very good program
[01:23] <mwe> redcard: yes but no actual packages are removed
[01:23] <redcard> mwe: What happens if someone tries to install something that requires ubuntu-desktop?
[01:23] <J-_> i use gnome heh
[01:23] <wthww> well, dell coreduo ones, but the ones on my laptop dont work either
[01:23] <warpzone> k3b is awesome with gnome as well, i love it
[01:23] <mwe> redcard: it removes the virtual package
[01:23] <redcard> mwe: Or is Ubuntu-desktop shorthand for "Everything back the way it was"
[01:23] <enyc> bayzin: in shorh athat is not possible giiven the circimstance you appear to describe
[01:23] <richiefrich> DShepherd YO man
[01:23] <mister_roboto> warpzone: :)   lots of people don't like having to load all those libs from the other desktop if they don't run it though
[01:23] <richiefrich> whats shackin
[01:23] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: add the entry for windows: go to the end of the file and add two lines: 1. "other = /dev/hdb" 2. "label = Windows"
[01:24] <bayzin> there is no way
[01:24] <mwe> redcard: ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package providing a bunch of packages
[01:24] <DShepherd> richiefrich: hey. what sup?
[01:24] <bayzin> i mean i have a windows disk but no key
[01:24] <redcard> mwe: So.. basically.. if he removes rhythmbox.. then it'll remove ubuntu desktop.  The next time he installs something that requires ubuntu-desktop, it'll install ubuntu-desktop, then rhythmbox..
[01:24] <richiefrich> DShepherd not much u havent been by in awhile
[01:24] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: make sure you put the right partition there, if windows is on hdb1, you need to specify that partition
[01:24] <DShepherd> richiefrich: i am well. what about you? yeah,, busy busy
[01:24] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: then save the file and run "sudo lilo"
[01:24] <Shawn0331> Has anyone got ubuntu to work with the new intel macs?
[01:24] <mwe> redcard: I don't think anything depends on ubuntu-desktop
[01:24] <richiefrich> DShepherd ricing man
[01:24] <anachronoks_> Agrajag: Great! I'll try that now
[01:24] <richiefrich> DShepherd  so far 20% increase in system
[01:25] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: I believe just running lilo like that will install the new entry, if not check the lilo manual for reinstalling the bootloader.
[01:25] <warpzone> mister_roboto: i know but damn it is a sweet program.
[01:25] <redcard> mwe: Well, easy enough way to find out :)
[01:25] <mister_roboto> warpzone: i agree!
[01:25] <lefty123> hey anybody know how to change refresh rate? mine is set too high and i get fuzzy text!
[01:25] <richiefrich> DShepherd and u.. ?
[01:25] <Agrajag> anachronoks_: you might want to consider switching to grub at some point, it's a lot easier to deal with
[01:25] <DShepherd> richiefrich: kool. how the rest of the guys?
[01:25] <mwe> redcard: I don't have that package
[01:25] <DShepherd> richiefrich: hmmm here and there.. nothing statistical
[01:25] <richiefrich> DShepherd great some jumped ship..  they went to smgl
[01:25] <warpzone> mister_roboto: same with amarok. why oh why make em for KDE? j/k :-P
[01:26] <richiefrich> J-_ not at all
[01:26] <DShepherd> richiefrich: smgl?
[01:26] <orbital04> Ya, I can't find no gstreamer plugins in the universe or mulitverse multimedia repositoires.....:-$
[01:26] <soundray> Shawn0331: apparently so... check out http://bin-false.org/?p=17
[01:26] <richiefrich> J-_  apache ?
[01:26] <richiefrich> DShepherd source mage
[01:26] <J-_> yeah heh
[01:26] <DShepherd> richiefrich: why?
[01:26] <bayzin> hello
[01:26] <richiefrich> DShepherd another distro
[01:26] <DShepherd> richiefrich:  ok
[01:26] <mwe> J-_: I think for a basic setup sudo aptitude install apache2 would give you a running server. I would categorize that as hard :)
[01:27] <J-_> nice lol
[01:27] <Agrajag> can't test what
[01:27] <J-_> i'm going to run it on my other machine heh, dedicated =D
[01:27] <nikin> Agrajag: Genius wizardpen driver
[01:27] <mwe> nikin: can't test?
[01:28] <nikin> and Canon lbp 2900 driver
[01:28] <nikin> and lazarus
[01:28] <Agrajag> ah, because you can't install stuff on the livecd
[01:28] <wthww> so in order to get mplayer to play mp3s i need to install libmp3 or what...?
[01:28] <nikin> Agrajag: yup
[01:28] <J-_> that reminds me, is it hard to set up an allinone printer? lexmark x2330?
[01:29] <nikin> wthww: do you have any problems with xmms?
[01:29] <chip42> wthww: libmad0 is what its called i think
[01:29] <JamieBE> Hi peeps
[01:29] <mwe> J-_: check the printing wiki or linuxprinting.org
[01:29] <Agrajag> well, I'd say bite the bullet, make a small partition for linux, and install.

[01:29] <JamieBE> It appears that the search util in Ubuntu only searched Home dir by default. How can I make it search the entire Filesystem??
[01:29] <mwe> J-_: most printers are well supported
[01:30] <magnus87> JamieBE - when you are searching simply chg the directory of where to search
[01:30] <JamieBE> chg?
[01:30] <magnus87> its the option below where you type what you're searching for
[01:30] <soundray> J-_: check on www.linuxprinting.org : there is a driver called lm1100 which may work with your allinone
[01:30] <JamieBE> IT IS?
[01:30] <magnus87> yep
[01:30] <J-_> thanks

[01:38] <P3L|C4N0> greetings

[01:38] <wthww> chip: its Fluendo mp3 decoder GStreamer plugin
[01:39] <JamieBE> magnus87 - I see now! For some reason that section was collapsed as default
[01:39] <magnus87> glad i helped
[01:39] <JamieBE> magnus87: you seem pretty smart. I have just done a search for what I am after and have had no luck

[01:39] <gnomefreak> Cornellius: dont play with the bot
[01:39] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops
[01:39] <magnus87> what is it?
[01:39] <Cornellius> gnomefreak: I don't play with him
[01:40] <gnomefreak> Cornellius: what makes you think if it doesnt know in -offtopic it would know in here?
[01:40] <nalioth> Cornellius: /msg ubotu FACTOID
[01:40] <mwe> Cornellius: /msg him though
[01:40] <majestikm> I'm trying to install lilo to my ubuntu partition from the live CD.  I'm not exactly sure how to do this manually or using a package manager.  Does anyone know?
[01:40] <Cornellius> Ah, though you couldn't pivate-chat with him
[01:40] <Cornellius> Or shoud I say it.
[01:40] <Cornellius> :)
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> majestikm,  dont like grub eh?
[01:41] <soundray> majestikm: have you got a reason to prefer lilo over grub?
[01:41] <magnus87> JamieBE - go ahead and ask
[01:41] <JamieBE> OK, basically, Magnus87 - I am customising my Ubuntu Gnome desktop to the max. A couple of things are still bugging me though which I know can be edited, but I just can't find an up-to-date solution anywhere.
[01:41] <majestikm> I don't think Grub works very well with EFI systems, does it?
[01:41] <wthww> ahh... rythmbox is neat
[01:41] <magnus87> JamieBE - what are you looking for to customize?
[01:41] <JamieBE> 1)Editing of the menu bar, including System sub menus
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> majestikm,  no clue there.. ive not even seen an EFI system yet. :P
[01:41] <JamieBE> 2) Editing the logo in the menu bar (ubuntu logo by default)
[01:41] <magnus87> JamieBE - have you used Alacerte Menu Editor at all?
[01:42] <Agrajag> majestikm: is this on a mac?
[01:42] <JamieBE> 3) editing of the boot screen (the brown one showing services being loaded)
[01:42] <magnus87> Alacarte*
[01:42] <gnomefreak> !usplash > JamieBE
[01:42] <CharMan> OLEH
[01:42] <majestikm> Arga, yep, macbook
[01:42] <wthww> they shoulve never left open firmwre if you ask me
[01:42] <goonies> what is powernowd?
[01:42] <ttyfscker> JamieBE:: thats the usplash
[01:42] <nalioth> goonies: power management daemon for amd processors
[01:43] <ttyfscker> JamieBE:: if you installed xubuntu-desktop then you would get rid of all that ugliness ;)
[01:43] <gnomefreak> JamieBE: the icon is a bit tricky
[01:43] <goonies> thanks, guess i can turn that off since i have an intel
[01:43] <JamieBE> Magnus87: Alacarte allows modification of the sub menus under Administration and Preferences, but I would like to remove the help options and the about options
[01:43] <magnus87> gnomefreak - i though usplash was the one that shows load-up and shut-down stuff
[01:43] <mwe> JamieBE: I couldn't resist peeking at your screenshots. what theme are you using ?
[01:43] <gnomefreak> magnus87: thats what he asked for
[01:43] <magnus87> i thought he meant the splash screen when you login
[01:43] <ttyfscker> magnus87:: he asked about the screen that shows services
[01:43] <magnus87> my misunderstanding then
[01:43] <gnomefreak> JamieBE: is the splash after you log into gnome?
[01:44] <JamieBE> Thanks all for the 'uSplash' link - Pucker, just what I was after!!
[01:44] <gnomefreak> ah ok
[01:44] <JamieBE> mwe - Nothing too special, just customised.
[01:44] <wthww> ahh... sweet sweet music
[01:44] <magnus87> im not sure about removing the help links though
[01:44] <JamieBE> gnomefreak -uSplash is the one I was after. Thanks bud.
[01:44] <gnomefreak> yw
[01:44] <soundray> majestikm: have you seen the report at http://bin-false.org/?p=17 ?
[01:44] <wthww> finlayy, i thought my mp3s were coripted when i backed them up, lol
[01:44] <ku> zOMG, I just accidentally deleted the top panel. Is there any way to get it back with the original settings or do I have to do everything manually?
[01:44] <goonies> another question, whats hplip
[01:45] <wthww> *corrupted
[01:45] <Materazzi> please!!! anybody know how to downmix audio&video???

[01:46] <Agrajag> ttyfscker: could you convert them to wav with faad and then pass those to oggenc or lame?
[01:46] <goonies> md device arrays?
[01:46] <gnomefreak> goonies: please use /msg ubotu <factoid>
[01:46] <soundray> goonies: you can have a private conversation with ubotu: /msg ubotu info mdadm
[01:46] <majestikm> soundray, I hadn't... I'll give it a try, thanks
[01:46] <goonies> 10/4
[01:46] <ttyfscker> Agrajag:: i suppose i could do that. but that involves too much time and disk space
[01:46] <Agrajag> not really
[01:47] <matti> Does anyone notices an nasty crash at bootloader instalation stage with SATA, XFS and grub?
[01:47] <Materazzi> anybody know how to downmix audio&video???
[01:47] <mwe> ttyfscker: are you aware that converting between two lossy compression formats implies loss of quality?
[01:47] <Agrajag> just send the wav output to stdout, get oggenc to read from stdin
[01:47] <Agrajag> make a script that does that and just run it against all the files you want to convert
[01:47] <aro-ron> hey all
[01:47] <matti> I saw some bug reports about this at launchpad, but I am curious. Maybe? Anyone?
[01:47] <matti> ;]
[01:47] <ttyfscker> mwe:: the quality that is lost is usually not noticeable by the human ear.
[01:48] <NewUbuntuUser> is it possible for a secondary hard drive to be accessed and modified on both windows and ubuntu os's
[01:48] <NewUbuntuUser> ?
[01:48] <JamieBE> magnus87 - My guess would be that the menu structures along with icon allocation and command line are saved in an XML structure somewhere. it would be the sensible way to save it. But I cant find this anywhere?
[01:48] <mwe> ttyfscker: well that depends on the ear I guess. I have a different experience
[01:48] <magnus87> i think its all under ~/.gconf/apps/panel
[01:48] <ku> nvm, i just reinstalled the panel ^^
[01:48] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: yes - format it with FAT32 (both can read and write that natively) or ext2 (you need a Windows driver for that)
[01:48] <alienseer23> !xorg
[01:48] <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
[01:48] <ttyfscker> mwe:: if you convert to a lesser quality bit rate then of course it will be. but just changing from one audio compression type to another keeping the same bit rate, it isnt really noticeable
[01:49] <Agrajag> ttyfscker: something like faad -w infile.aac | oggenc - -o output.ogg
[01:49] <magnus87> JamieBE: theres a bunch of xml files that call out the preferences there, including icons, etc
[01:49] <NewUbuntuUser> thank you
[01:49] <magnus87> not sure which does what exactly :P
[01:49] <Agrajag> ttyfscker: with other quality options for oggenc of course, to your taste
[01:49] <NewUbuntuUser> soundray, the system > administration > disks doesnt have a fat32 option
[01:49] <alienseer23> hello, does xinerama have an interface?
[01:50] <JamieBE> Magnus87 - I am really tempted to build an app in Ruby or something to edit this menu structure. Alacarte is nice, but it lacks power.
[01:50] <goonies> how do i turn off the default bit torrent program that starts up at boot
[01:50] <alienseer23> or, how do I conifgure xinerama w/an nvidia card?
[01:50] <magnus87> JamieBE - i wish i had the spare time / programming experience to do things just like that
[01:50] <Agrajag> alienseer23: don't use xinerama, use nvidia twinview
[01:50] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: use gparted instead
[01:50] <Agrajag> alienseer23: you can set that up with just a couple lines in xorg.conf
[01:50] <NewUbuntuUser> ok
[01:50] <NewUbuntuUser> soundray
[01:50] <Bangers> im having a problem with ubuntu 6.06 - my PC has 2 video cards, onboard and PCI.  PCI is the active one
[01:50] <magnus87> JamieBE - have you browsed around ~/.gconf/apps/panel at all?
[01:51] <NewUbuntuUser> where can i get gparted?
[01:51] <Bangers> but ubuntu triies to boot from the onboard one
[01:51] <Bangers> and X fails
[01:51] <mwe> goonies: no bittorent program starts at boot here, but rcconf of bum
[01:51] <Bangers> how do i fix this?
[01:51] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: to create partitions if needed. After that, use mkdosfs to create a FAT32 system (read the man page)
[01:51] <magnus87> Bangers - go into BIOS on boot and turn off onboard video?
[01:51] <NewUbuntuUser> ok
[01:51] <alienseer23> ok
[01:51] <JamieBE> magnus97 - Looking now, thanks again bud it looks promising. Any luck with that icon near applications?
[01:51] <mwe> NewUbuntuUser: sudo aptitude install gparted in a terminal would get it
[01:51] <NewUbuntuUser> and fat32 is read/write capable for both ubuntu and windows?
[01:52] <mwe> NewUbuntuUser: yes
[01:52] <FurryNemesis> NewUbuntuUser, yes
[01:52] <mwe> NewUbuntuUser: only ntfs is not
[01:52] <magnus87> JamieBE - those xml files all define that I 'think'
[01:52] <aro-ron> hey, I got a easy question for you... I have seen alot of pictures or people who customized their gnome panels to look alot like the OSX dashboard... 'cept, I cant figure out how to do it. any tips?

[01:53] <NewUbuntuUser> gparted can do fat32
[01:53] <alienseer23> k
[01:53] <aro-ron> ah ok, I will try that
[01:53] <ironmonk> i need to know, how do i mount an .img file (in xubuntu)?
[01:53] <magnus87> aro-ron http://gnome-look.org has some skins as well
[01:53] <Agrajag> alienseer23: that is my device section, if you add the twinview line and tiwnvieworientation and so on, yours should work
[01:53] <NewUbuntuUser> soundray thank you for your help
[01:53] <alienseer23> what about for tv?
[01:53] <Agrajag> ironmonk: .img, as in a raw CDROM image?
[01:53] <ironmonk> agraja: yes
[01:54] <Agrajag> ironmonk: you'll need to convert it to an iso with bchunk first
[01:54] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: I think it will set the filesystem type, but not actually create the filesystem.
[01:54] <jn> hey what program are people using to transfer mp3 to their ipod in ubuntu? i hear ephpod works in linux im assuming you run wine?
[01:54] <ironmonk> agrajag: how? i am new to this
[01:54] <jrib> !ipod
[01:54] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPodHowto
[01:54] <jn> thank you jrib
[01:54] <rever> Can some one help me figure out why when I am in Nautilus => Computer when I click Share to open that partion it will mount it but not open it. I have to actually goto File System/media/share
[01:55] <majestikm> I'm running on the live CD trying to install lilo.  I typed in (apt-get install lilo lilo-doc linux-686-smp linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-686 linux-kernel-headers) to the terminal, it asked if I wanted to install/continue etc.  I hit yet, and it asks me to: "Please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 6.06 _Dapper Drake_ -Release1386 (20060531)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter.    Then it just keeps asking me to insert the CD...
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> majestikm,  if its asking for hte cd.. then your apt sources.list has the cdrom drive listed.. edit it and comment out the cdrom line
[01:57] <ttyfscker> jn:: gtkpod is the only thing that comes close to being like any ipod software..
[01:57] <majestikm> Ah, okay, thanks Willis
[01:58] <soundray> Dr_Willis: does that apply when majestikm is on the live CD, though?
[01:58] <SSN> alienseer23: what video card do you have? and what is showing?
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> soundray,  no clue there..   ive never tried it.
[01:59] <majestikm> I'll comment out the line and see if it works
[01:59] <jn> ok next question ;) when installing ubuntu i didnt set the time correctly and now when i run ntpupdate it does work and sync but to the wrong time, my locale was set correctly, so i removed it and that didnt help either.. and time-admin fails
[01:59] <Ptero-4> Hi. Do anyone knows a way for using dialup in Dapper.
[01:59] <Ptero-4> PON is broken and wvdial is f*cked up.
[01:59] <jn> im thinking i could fake the timezone? maybe someone knows a cleaner approach
[02:00] <alienseer23> i have an nvidia 6200 and it shows an ati radeon rv1000
[02:00] <alienseer23> rv100 oops
[02:01] <NewUbuntuUser> my system cant read the fat32 partition now
[02:01] <spring> ..
[02:01] <soundray> Ptero-4: I haven't done this, but try 'System-Administration-Networking" and the modem properties.
[02:01] <minerale> Hi, when I print to my printer, the page is about 1cm offset, where woud I fix this (or where would I find more about it)
[02:01] <spring> hi guys, where does synaptic manager keep its downloaded file in ubuntu??
[02:02] <soundray> spring: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[02:02] <spring> i tried googled already, no help on this
[02:02] <spring> cool thx soundray
[02:02] <Ptero-4> soundtray. My problem is that trying to use pon I get a "can't set terminal parameters" error and the conections drops.
[02:02] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: is it mounted?
[02:03] <NewUbuntuUser> soundray i used the mkdosfs to create the fat32 partition but now it says it cant read the drive
[02:03] <NewUbuntuUser> it wont mount
[02:03] <NewUbuntuUser> says it cant be found
[02:03] <Ptero-4> and also I have noticed that with kernel 2.6.15-(22/23) sudo complains about a timestamp in the future.
[02:03] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: what's the device name?
[02:03] <NewUbuntuUser> um
[02:03] <Ptero-4> And the hw clock can't be set.
[02:04] <NewUbuntuUser>  /dev/hdc1
[02:04] <NewUbuntuUser> o.O
[02:04] <pba> hello, i've installed ubuntu 6.06 for amd64, but how can i see dvds?
[02:04] <soundray> Ptero-4: you have to configure ppp before you can use pon. Try the way I suggested.
[02:04] <Ptero-4> Ahh. soundtray. If I use your method, will it work with the gnome-ppp applet?
[02:04] <spring> if i use synaptic manager to download 300MB for kubuntu-desktop, is there any chance i can extract downloaded file so if i reinstall ubuntu, i don't have to download again
[02:05] <soundray> Ptero-4: sry, haven't done this and can't test.
[02:05] <sammy> ahhh hi
[02:05] <Ptero-4> soundtray, I use pppconfig to set ppp and it sets ppp o.k. It's just pon what fails.
[02:06] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: what did you use as the mkdosfs command line?
[02:06] <sammy> how am i suposed to open my executionable files?
[02:06] <sponotch> hi guys, I'm having one heck of a problem dual booting with XP using GRUB.    I have looked all over Google for help, but couldn't find anything that worked.  Anyone think they could point me in the right direction if I described the problem a little more?
[02:06] <NewUbuntuUser> mkdosfs /dev/hdc1
[02:06] <Ptero-4> Ahh. one thing I'm on breezy so I can't try anything until I have gathered several methods to use when I update to Dapper (and lose any ability to go to the web).
[02:06] <SSN> spring: you might look in /var/cache/apt/archives
[02:07] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: did that run without errors?
[02:07] <NewUbuntuUser> it created the partition but gparted says the fat32 is un readable and it wont mount using the disk thingy
[02:07] <NewUbuntuUser> yes
[02:07] <NewUbuntuUser> mkdosfs ran without errors
[02:07] <JamieBE> magnus97: A lot of info in these XMLs, but nothing relevant to anything more than general menu ADS's.
[02:07] <NewUbuntuUser> er
[02:07] <NewUbuntuUser> i used
[02:07] <NewUbuntuUser> mkdosfs /dev/hdc1 -I
[02:07] <nalioth> abo did you get sorted?
[02:07] <magnus87> JamieBE sorry then :(
[02:07] <NewUbuntuUser> because it said
[02:07] <NewUbuntuUser> mkdosfs: Will not try to make filesystem on full-disk device '/dev/hdc' (use -I if wanted)
[02:07] <NewUbuntuUser> when i didnt do -I
[02:07] <spring> ok thx
[02:07] <JamieBE> No prob magnus87. Henag a sec bro...
[02:07] <magnus87> you could try google or http://ubuntuforums.org
[02:08] <alienseer23> hpw do i fix the wrong card showing up in my xorg.config file?
[02:08] <pba> hello?
[02:08] <NewUbuntuUser> hello
[02:08] <Ronz> nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:09] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: that doesn't make sense. You either did "mkdosfd /dev/hdc" without the "1", or you haven't finalized the partitioning in gparted properly.
[02:09] <NewUbuntuUser> er yea
[02:09] <Ronz> and make sure you do sudo, alienseer23
[02:09] <NewUbuntuUser> i did it without the 1
[02:09] <NewUbuntuUser> mkdosfs /dev/hdc -I
[02:09] <NewUbuntuUser> how do i finalize the partitioning?
[02:10] <sponotch> If anyone thinks that they coul help me with a GRUB isue, please msg me.
[02:10] <alienseer23> ok, does this thing work automatically, then?
[02:10] <jrib> sponotch: just tell the chat your issue, otherwise how can we know if we can help you :)
[02:10] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: you've ruined the work you've done with gparted now. Go back to partitioning. Try doing everything with gparted -- it should work (contrary to what I said earlier)
[02:11] <NewUbuntuUser> i just tried that
[02:11] <NewUbuntuUser> and when i created the new fat32 partition an error poped up and gparted froze
[02:11] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: what error?
[02:11] <NewUbuntuUser> i dont know
[02:11] <NewUbuntuUser> it froze before texted showed up
[02:11] <blup|patrick> hi
[02:11] <blup|patrick> need help with my networking

[02:12] <NewUbuntuUser> ok im starting over here
[02:12] <blup|patrick> and i cant get it working
[02:12] <NewUbuntuUser> its asking me for a disk label
[02:12] <NewUbuntuUser> o.O
[02:12] <soundray> NewUbuntuUser: okay, let's try differently. Run 'fdisk /dev/hdc' and hit 'p' return. Does it show a partition table?
[02:12] <Asc> huh, DNS just died.
[02:12] <dxdemetriou> If I mount manually a partition, it disappeared from "Places/Computer", and some times crached the nautilus. Anybody knows why?
[02:12] <tsume> erm
[02:12] <blup|patrick> its about wifi and wpa
[02:12] <tsume> hmm
[02:12] <shiv> after installing xfce the ubuntu login screen changed. How do I get it back
[02:12] <JamieBE> magnus97: See the XML here? /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders

[02:12] <nalioth> soundray: perhaps you could be of more use in #ubuntu-classroom with NewUbuntuUser ?
[02:12] <tsume> heh
[02:12] <NewUbuntuUser> yes
[02:12] <tsume> this channel has lots of questions, with no answers :)\
[02:12] <NewUbuntuUser> it shows a table

[02:15] <Ronz> hey, linux and keybindings for WoW not working...anyone have any idea's?
[02:15] <jn> i dissconnected my ipod and all the music is still on the ipod which is good but i am afraid to add new tracks with out the current ones being displayed in gtkpod
[02:15] <minerale> anyone here have experience with printing and cups ...
[02:15] <magnus87> yeah, best bet would be to find someone who's edited something similar
[02:15] <JamieBE> I searched .menu and I can't find it anywhere
[02:15] <jn> blup|patrick: what's going on?
[02:15] <majestikm> Ronz, how does WoW's cheat protection work with linux?
[02:16] <blup|patrick> jn: no wifi so far...
[02:16] <blup|patrick> thats the problem
[02:16] <magnus87> JamieBE - you sure you included hidden files?
[02:16] <jn> ttyfscker: hey did you see my question?
[02:16] <Ronz> majestikm, i have yet to have a problem
[02:16] <jn> blup|patrick: mm what soundcard do you have?
[02:16] <blup|patrick> WIFI -- WLAN
[02:16] <bec> I was wondering if someone could help me install Ubuntu?
[02:16] <magnus87> JamieBE - Places > search for files, then click the drop down for more options, and select "show hiddent and backup files", then click "add"
[02:16] <jn> blup|patrick: your soundcard.. what make
[02:16] <majestikm> Ronz, ah, cool... I'm a little worried by account would get banned... I have a friend that got a steam account banned because he was using cedega
[02:16] <JamieBE> yerp
[02:16] <jn> i have a broadcom 4318 for example
[02:17] <jn> which was a pain to setup
[02:17] <blup|patrick> my soundcard?
[02:17] <blup|patrick> though its stereo and nothing more it works
[02:17] <blup|patrick> but my wlan doesnt work
[02:17] <blup|patrick> which uses a ralink 2500 chipset
[02:17] <jn> shit i mean wifi card
[02:17] <Ptero-4> blup|patrick. Have you used ndiswrapper/ndisgtk?  Don't game, its a waste of time and money ;)
[02:18] <spring> did anyone keep back up of files for /var/cache/apt/archives so no need to download again when reinstall???
[02:18] <jn> ttyfscker: ill repeat if you want
[02:18] <Ronz> tsume, gaming = my getaway from the world
[02:18] <Towering> so, ubuntu can't detect my printer on the parallel port, no matter what i d
[02:18] <Towering> do
[02:18] <tsume> Ronz: answer, get a life :)\
[02:18] <blup|patrick> jn: google.. so did i... well i ahve followed 20 howtos, visitited 30 forums
[02:18] <majestikm> tsume, I don't watch TV, but I game :P
[02:18] <blup|patrick> wasted weeks and nothing is working :|
[02:18] <ttyfscker> jn:: ok
[02:18] <jn> i dissconnected my ipod and all the music is still on the ipod which is good but i am afraid to add new tracks with out the current ones being displayed in gtkpod
[02:19] <majestikm> Ronz, what server are you on?
[02:19] <NickRivers> ok... I had to install ubuntu using the server CD... how do i get Xorg up and running?
[02:19] <jn> blup|patrick: are you using a x64 or x86 build of ubuntu?
[02:19] <Ptero-4> blup|patrick. you mean that there's no Windoze driver ffor that wifi card?
[02:19] <Ronz> majestikm, ursin ftw
[02:19] <ttyfscker> jn:: gtkpod isnt like itunes.. it wont delete the songs off your ipod unless you specifically tell it to
[02:19] <Ronz> used to be shadow council
[02:19] <ttyfscker> jn:: have you considered using rockbox?
[02:19] <blup|patrick> dapper x86 of course
[02:19] <spring> NickaNicka: there shud be no need to mess xOrg directly
[02:19] <spring> i think
[02:20] <ttyfscker> rockbox = alternative OS to apples iPod os
[02:20] <jn> ttyfscker: im just sketched not seeing the songs i have on there now
[02:20] <jn> why dont they show up?
[02:20] <tsume> spring: installing nvidia and needing a dual screen setup :)
[02:20] <ttyfscker> jn:: do you have gtkpod set to automount / unmount ?
[02:20] <NickRivers> spring: well then how do I get GUI up and running?
[02:20] <ttyfscker> jn:: also does it show the right details at the bottom of gtkpod about your freespace on the ipod
[02:20] <jn> sec
[02:20] <spring> ohh u r on server
[02:20] <NickRivers> yah
[02:21] <jn> i edited fstab to mount
[02:21] <NickRivers> the livecd didn't work on my box
[02:21] <blup|patrick> patrick@perseus:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[02:21] <blup|patrick> (gedit:17366): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[02:21] <blup|patrick> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[02:21] <blup|patrick> whats the meaning of this?
[02:21] <spring> NickaNicka: can't u install ubuntu 1st, then install server
[02:21] <jn> and made gktpod.out
[02:21] <ttyfscker> jn:: is it being mounted as user or as root?
[02:21] <jn> to unmount
[02:21] <jn> user
[02:21] <jn> i think
[02:21] <ttyfscker> jn:: is it getting mounted at /media/ipod ?
[02:21] <NickRivers> spring: the server CD installs a base system w/o a GUI
[02:21] <jn> yes
[02:21] <jn> no wait /mnt/ipod
[02:22] <ttyfscker> jn:: in gtkpod's settings is it set to the correct mount point?
[02:22] <spring> NickaNicka: server CD evil, i install that once, can't get GUI to work, gave up and stick with normal install, then install server I need from synaptic manager
[02:22] <jn> heh that was it
[02:22] <ttyfscker> jn:: if i remember correctly you have to create new ipod directories.. the itunes directories wont show up in gtkpod i dont think
[02:23] <ttyfscker> oh ok
[02:23] <jn> i think...
[02:23] <jn> hold on
[02:23] <alienseer23> I have a question, if my motherboard requires the nvidia legacy driver, and my videocard reqires the new nvidia driver, how do I do them both?
[02:24] <jn> hm my songs still dont show up and it is connected says 441 MB Free
[02:24] <ttyfscker> jn:: in the file menu.. there is something like create gtkpod directories
[02:24] <ttyfscker> i dont remember 100%
[02:24] <ttyfscker> i dont use ipod OS i use rockbox
[02:24] <blup|patrick> crap... why have i to be penetrant here :(
[02:24] <jn> rockbox?
[02:25] <alienseer23> the video needs nvidia-glx, but the motherboard needs nvidia-glx-legaacy, what do I do?
[02:25] <ttyfscker> yea
[02:25] <majestikm> alien, get a new motherboard or video card
[02:25] <ttyfscker> rockbox is a customizable OS for ipods and other portable mp3 players
[02:25] <noobie0057> how can I create a batch script? In DOS I would enter my DOS commands in a bat file then execute the file. What is the equilivant in linux?
[02:25] <jn> i see "create ipod's directories"
[02:25] <majestikm> alien, sorry, I don't know.. interesting problem though
[02:25] <ttyfscker> jn:: that would be what i was talking about
[02:25] <jn> and check ipod files
[02:25] <jn> check ipod files makes my files show up
[02:25] <ttyfscker> after you do that click read
[02:25] <jn> do i need to run create directories too? that sounds kinda sketch
[02:26] <blup|patrick> need network help :|
[02:26] <blup|patrick> someone there?
[02:26] <blup|patrick> :(
[02:26] <ttyfscker> when you create the directories it should add your other database to the gtkpod database
[02:26] <spring> where can i download a single file for kubutun-desktop, i tried google, doesn't help
[02:26] <jn> rockbox eh? i'll check it out, will i lose all my songs installing it?
[02:26] <chip42> noobie0057: check out http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

[02:27] <noobie0057> chip42: thanks
[02:27] <chip42> noobie0057: pretty much the same thing. you type your bash commands / script into a file. set permissions and run it
[02:27] <ttyfscker> jn:: no the OS on ipods arent on the same partition as the database
[02:27] <jn> mm
[02:27] <gekko`> anyone knows how I can change the charset of eterm to iso-8859-15?
[02:27] <ttyfscker> jn:: its rather easy to do..
[02:27] <jn> will it work on a ipod color?
[02:27] <jn> im not sure what gen it is
[02:27] <ttyfscker> of course
[02:28] <ttyfscker> it works on my ipod nano 4g
[02:28] <jn> rad.. what do you like better about rockbox?
[02:28] <ttyfscker> ipodlinux sucks
[02:28] <ttyfscker> dont even attempt to use it
[02:28] <jn> i said ipod color i meant phot
[02:28] <jn> photo
[02:29] <ttyfscker> it has customizable themes, you can play games on it, it has extra features, timers, colors, fonts, etc
[02:30] <jn> lol this is nuts
[02:30] <jn> so it's a whole replacement os?
[02:30] <jn> how does it look?
[02:30] <ttyfscker> yea
[02:30] <ttyfscker> but you can boot the normal os too
[02:30] <jn> can i msg you
[02:30] <ttyfscker> yea
[02:32] <JamieBE> magnus87: I cant find these panel menu structure anywhere
[02:34] <JamieBE> magnus87: Enough of that. I have managed to change my distributer logo, but it isn't taking effect in the menu bar. Someone suggested that it was due to my not using the default Ubuntu Human theme. Does anyone know where gnome-themes files are saved?
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> JamieBE: /home/user/.theme
[02:36] <jn-> ttyfscker: you regd?
[02:37] <ttyfscker> yea i am
[02:39] <JamieBE> Jack_Sparrow: good call - but I don't have that Dir. DCan you suggest any others?
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> JamieBE: how did you look   . means hidden
[02:39] <JamieBE> Ahhh - I think I fuond it
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> JamieBE: k
[02:40] <JamieBE> Jack_Sparrow : /usr/share/themes
[02:40] <blup|patrick> how can i disable wpa_supplicant?
[02:41] <JamieBE> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for help with that, I don't suppose you know where the Gnome Panel menu structure can be edited from manually do you?
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> yea
[02:41] <blup|patrick> where are settings for loading services in linux?
[02:41] <kmag> do any of you have experience fixing ALSA problems?
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visable
[02:42] <Zyfo> !lost+found
[02:42] <ubotu> lost+found is where fsck (the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly) places any files it gleans from a corrupt filesystem.  These are files which had become unlinked from their parent directories.
[02:42] <Jack_Sparrow> oops.. sorry  Type gconf-editor
[02:42] <JamieBE> Was that for me Jack_Sparrow?
[02:42] <kmag> I apt-get dist-ugraded to dapper and my sound stopped working
[02:42] <Zyfo> How can I hide my lost+found folder?
[02:43] <Jack_Sparrow> JamieBE: YEa try that editor
[02:43] <kmag> audio device is always busy
[02:43] <kmag> I can't even cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio
[02:43] <howekern> are you running arts?
[02:43] <howekern> I'm an idiot, but in my foolishness, I seem to remember that arts blocks access to teh device files while it's running.
[02:44] <mister_roboto> is anyone here using tomcat5?
[02:44] <mwe> kmag: /dev/audio?
[02:44] <Ptero-4> Hi. how do I make d4x use 4 urls simultaneously to download a single file.
[02:44] <kmag> mwe: or /dev/dsp
[02:44] <kmag> or mpg123
[02:44] <kmag> or vlc
[02:44] <kmag> no sound at all
[02:44] <howekern> Are you using KDE?
[02:44] <JamieBE> Jack_Sparrow - I used that "hack" already to stop automounting of volumes on desktop. Should be a genuine option if you ask me. What I actually want to do it alter the items and sub-menu structures on the menu bar itself. Like all of System help being removed and the like...
[02:44] <Zyfo> How can I change names or add places in "Places" at Panel and in Naut?
[02:44] <Ronz> kmag, using alsa?
[02:45] <mwe> kmag: no sound from nothing, even gnome sounds?
[02:45] <kmag> howekern: not using KDE
[02:45] <howekern> Huh.
[02:45] <Warbo> Zyfo: You can hide any file or folder in Nautilus by making a file called ".hidden" which contains the names of any files/folder you want hidden. Put the file in the folder containing the files/folders you want to hide
[02:45] <kmag> mwe: how would I check gnome sounds?
[02:45] <Ronz> Zyfo, alcarte menu editor
[02:45] <mwe> kmag: system settings somewhere
[02:45] <howekern> Have you tried alsaconfig?  Does it give you an error?
[02:45] <Zyfo> Ronz, I thought so but I can only change apps and system there :(
[02:45] <Warbo> Zyfo: Adding bookmarks/favourite locations in GNOME will add them to the Places menu
[02:46] <Jack_Sparrow> JamieBE: I will edit the script and make that addition to the docs
[02:46] <Ronz> yea, i just loaded it up to make sure, lol
[02:46] <Zyfo> Warbo, Can I really change that folder to a .hidden? won't it change back automaticly if I crash then?
[02:46] <DarkMageZ> kmag, "ps -A | grep esd"
[02:46] <JamieBE> Jack_Sparrow - You lost me there bud. You a developer or something?
[02:46] <Zyfo> Warbo, I "accidently" removed it before and it audo-added back, so won't it do that again as soon as I crash or so?
[02:47] <kmag> DarkMageZ: esd is running
[02:47] <Ronz> JamieBE, Jack_Sparrow is a pirate
[02:47] <Ronz> =)
[02:47] <kmag> DarkMageZ: pid 5301
[02:47] <Warbo> Zyfo: You create a text file called .hidden. For example, in my Home folder I have a text file called .hidden which simply contains the line "Desktop". That tells nautilus to hide the folder called Desktop
[02:47] <Jack_Sparrow> YArrrrr smile when you say thet
[02:47] <Jack_Sparrow> JamieBE: I write a little code..
[02:47] <DarkMageZ> kmag, "killall esd" then run your sound application
[02:47] <mwe> kmag: I'd try sudo killall esd then retry the cat command
[02:47] <mister_roboto> anyone here using axis2 with tomcat 5 on ubuntu?
[02:47] <shinobi2> what's a good player, that can play dvd and vcd?
[02:47] <Zyfo> Warbo, ah, bookmark/favourite as in embled? How do I change the names of them then? For example they are called hda1 and hdb1, I'd rather have them being called windows and amin
[02:47] <Warbo> !info ogle-gui
[02:47] <ubotu> ogle-gui: User interface to ogle (Gtk). In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.9.2-2 (dapper), package size 74 kB, installed size 476 kB
[02:48] <JamieBE> Savvy Jack_Sparrow. ARRRRG!
[02:48] <Warbo> !info ogle
[02:48] <ubotu> ogle: DVD player with support for DVD menus. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.9.2-2.2 (dapper), package size 215 kB, installed size 784 kB
[02:48] <JamieBE> No, sorry that has just confused it more. What script are you editing here? :)
[02:48] <Zyfo> Warbo, so just make a text file called ".hidden." and add all things you want hidden in that dir? that's really smart :x
[02:49] <Jack_Sparrow> JamieBE: The diskmounter script
[02:49] <Warbo> Zyfo: Yes, just put it in the folder where the hidden things are. Remember you can always see them again by turning on hidden items, or by using ctrl-L to enter the location specifically
[02:49] <kmag> after killing esd, I still get device or resource busy for both /dev/dsp and /dev/audio
[02:49] <Zyfo> Warbo, yepp, thanks!
[02:49] <kmag> mpg123 tells me ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:819:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[02:49] <Zyfo> Warbo, and how do I rename places?
[02:50] <Warbo> kmag: Try "fuser /dev/dsp"
[02:50] <JamieBE> Jack_sparrow - You are a developer? That would be fantastic. The DiskMounter was where I looked for the option in the first place. But it wasn't THERE?!
[02:50] <howekern> I have an apt problem; synaptic wants to install versions of various opengl packages whose version numbers don't match.
[02:50] <Zyfo> I can remove the ~\Examples folder I guess?
[02:50] <mwe> kmag: I'd look for info in dmesg and /var/log/syslog
[02:50] <Warbo> Zyfo: I wouldn't know about renaming existing ones, only adding new ones (bookmarks)
[02:50] <shinobi2> gxine have no sound, anyone know how to config it?
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> howekern: have you checked or changed your sources?
[02:51] <Warbo> Zyfo: That is just a link anyway to /usr/share/examples
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource
[02:51] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:51] <mwe> shinobi2: do you have sound in other programs?
[02:51] <kmag> hmm... firefox has /dev/dsp open!
[02:51] <Zyfo> Warbo, ok, what's the difference between favourites and bookmarks? both will get added to places? anything else that will get added to placed? Where can you see/set what different emblems do, gconf?
[02:51] <shinobi2> mwe: yes, when ubuntu starts, it plays
[02:51] <mwe> kmag: huh. flash or something?
[02:51] <roostishaw> anyone, how do i "refresh" the hosts file, without rebooting?
[02:52] <mwe> shinobi2: but at this point?
[02:52] <howekern> Uhm, everything still reports Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
[02:52] <Warbo> Zyfo: Emblems can mean whatever you want them to if you are going to use them yourself. Access denied and read only emblems are the only automatic ones I know of, and they are pretty obvious
[02:52] <Lvip> Why doesn't the Ubuntu version of Imagemagick regonizes JPEG?
[02:52] <howekern> There aren't any errors when I refresh, if that means anything.
[02:52] <shinobi2> xmms can works fine. mwe
[02:53] <Zyfo> Warbo, ok, thanks
[02:53] <mwe> shinobi2: hmm
[02:53] <mister_roboto> can anyone give me a clue why the downloaded axis2.war won't deploy correctly on vanilla install of tomcat5 on ubuntu?
[02:53] <nocarrier> Hello all
[02:53] <nocarrier> Anyone know much about fglrx and DRI?
[02:53] <alienseer23> ok,fo renabling twinview, what do I out for "<list of metamodes"> ? please?
[02:53] <roostishaw> anyone, how do i "refresh" the hosts file, without rebooting?
[02:53] <mwe> nocarrier: define much
[02:54] <mwe> roostishaw: refresh it?
[02:54] <nocarrier> mwe: well, I have the module installed, but if I leave the Load #dri directive in the xorg.conf, X won't load
[02:54] <bimberi> roostishaw: changes should take effect immediately
[02:54] <Warbo> nocarrier: I know that fglrx didn;t work for me, but DRI did
[02:54] <roostishaw> bimberi & mwe, sorry. you're right... :D
[02:55] <kmag> mwe: might be flash... still no sound, but I can now cat /dev/urandom to /dev/dsp and /dev/audio
[02:55] <mjb_> hi I've just done a dist-upgrade but have errors with the samba package ... I get dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):  Can anyone suggest a fix? (full paste is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19265)
[02:56] <mwe> nocarrier: and the rest of the xorg.conf file is ok?
[02:56] <nocarrier> yea, I am using the fglrx driver now, but without dri.. still referencing the mesa stuff
[02:56] <mwe> nocarrier: yeah fglrx without dri is point less :)
[02:57] <nocarrier> heh... yep
[02:57] <Warbo> Is Direct Rendering in glxinfo a direct reference to DRI, or is DRI just the DRI project?
[02:57] <bimberi> mjb_: what's the output of 'file /etc/rc2.d/K09samba' ?
[02:57] <kmag> thanks for the help
[02:57] <kmag> any more ideas for looking at what's wrong w/ ALSA?
[02:57] <mwe> Warbo: well I think it has two meanings
[02:58] <mjb_> looks like it's non existant... should I create it ?
[02:58] <Warbo> mwe: I was getting confused, since there is a DRI driver for many ATI cards, but apparently fglrx has DRI, and Nvidia driver has Direct Rendering, but it needs DRI to be commented out in xorg.conf
[02:59] <bimberi> mjb_: not sure, the dangling symlink message is a bit strange if the file doesn't exist
[02:59] <niruana> hi, how do i show the gnome control pannel in ubuntu?
[02:59] <Warbo> Mind you, I am on the ati driver now, since I swapped my HD into an nvidia machine and back, so it has auto-reconfigured it to ati for me
[02:59] <niruana> cant find it in the new version
[02:59] <kmag> hmm... PCM was muted by default
[02:59] <bimberi> mjb_: worth a try I guess though
[02:59] <Warbo> niruana: I think there might be a location in Nautilus like "control://" or something (ctrl-L to enter a location)
[02:59] <nocarrier> argh... this sucks...
[03:00] <mwe> Warbo: yes. I'm not an expert but I think that the term DRI is sometimes used to mean direct rendering though it's just confusing
[03:00] <shinobi2> mwe: you know how to config gxine?
[03:00] <niruana> Warbo: on what do i need to search then?
[03:00] <mwe> Warbo: but I think fglrx needs the DRI driver to get direct rendering to work
[03:01] <niruana> because i want to get root for Nautilus, and they say me to edit it in the gnome control pannel
[03:01] <Warbo> niruana: Well, I think all of that stuff is in System>Preferences anyway, but maybe search for a location for Nautilus which will take you to the control centre
[03:01] <nocarrier> bbl
[03:01] <Lvip> Damn, someone screwed up when they compiled the deb packages with ImageMagick for Ubuntu!
[03:01] <mjb_> bimberi: That's actually got it somewhere... the daemons started now ...
[03:01] <soundray> Lvip: or maybe you did, because they work fine here.
[03:02] <bimberi> mjb_: good, we're both learning something ;)
[03:02] <Lvip> Does it support JPEG and GIF?!
[03:02] <kmag> mwe, darkmagez, and others: thanks for the help
[03:02] <howekern> Where's the sources list located on my system, so I can replace it?
[03:02] <soundray> Lvip: with the proper libraries in place, yes.
[03:02] <Warbo> mwe: Well fglrx gave me 2D, but not Direct Rendering or framebuffer (terminal spat out loads of crap when I tried to use them), but radeon uses DRI fine, so if fglrx uses DRI then why didn't it work if radeon does, since fglrx did give me 2D fine? Very strange
[03:02] <mwe> howekern: /etc/apt/sources.list but back it up first
[03:02] <Warbo>  /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:03] <howekern> Thanks, I will.
[03:03] <mjb_> bimberi: cheers... I had a similar bug with the apt-get data file going missing... I couldn't get any  updates...
[03:03] <niruana> negative on the system preferences Warbo i know that it was there in my previus version (sorry for my bad englisch)
[03:04] <soundray> /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:04] <hbi> hey can any1 help me i keep getting an error in setting up the UI server for kismet it cant bind to <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> the problem only arose after installing nessus could this be stopping it?
[03:04] <Olathe> I'm having a lot of trouble burning the alternate install CD in Windows XP. Are there ISO-burning tools that people have been successful with ?
[03:04] <Warbo> niruana: Well that seems a little weird. You can always mess around with the menus with Alacarte (in Applications>Accessories)
[03:04] <mwe> Warbo: I don't know. I haven't used fglrx for a while but I think it needed the "Load DRI"
[03:04] <Warbo> Olathe: Nero, at speed 4, usually works
[03:04] <howekern> Yet another question: I've noticed some graphics glitches the last boot or two, any way I can figure out what's going on?  Like, do failing chip-sets produce typical symptoms?
[03:05] <Olathe> Alright, thanks.
[03:05] <shinobi2> how can i make 'cal' to highlight today's date?
[03:05] <capiCrimm> how can I tell what program is using(or blocking) my soundcard?
[03:05] <niruana> they tell me to do: In Gnome in the panel, press the right botton and add to it GKsu. Right click in the GKsu icon and in properties change "ksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator " to "ksu nautilus /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator". Now, appears a file manager with root privilegies.
[03:05] <Zyfo> I've got a windows partition that's called "hda1", I'd like to called this "Windows" instead. Is it somehow possible to re-mount (or even better - rename) this drive without damaging the disks data?
[03:05] <Warbo> capiCrimm: "fuser /dev/dsp"
[03:05] <Zyfo> to call this*
[03:05] <Lvip> soundray:  How would fix that convert doesn't regonised jpeg?
[03:05] <Warbo> Zyfo: Is that it's name in /media?
[03:06] <Zyfo> Warbo, media\hda1, yeah
[03:06] <howekern> ...you could make a /windows directory, and change fstab so that the partition is mounted there, if that's what you mean?
[03:06] <soundray> Lvip: 'sudo apt-get install libjpeg62'
[03:06] <hbi> hey can any1 help me i keep getting an error in setting up the UI server for kismet it cant bind to <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS> the problem only arose after installing nessus could this be stopping it?
[03:06] <Zyfo> howekern, I guess it is - as long as it changes the "places" name and windows doesn't stop working I'm fine with it
[03:06] <Lvip> Already newest version, soundray.
[03:06] <Warbo> Zyfo: Please repeat that without using Microsoft's incompatibility-creating naming system
[03:07] <Zyfo> Warbo, what do you mean?
[03:07] <soundray> Lvip: what's the output of 'file yourimage.jpeg'?
[03:07] <howekern> Oh, I think you're talking about it's name in something like the gnome "places" menu, and of how to work with that I've no clue, sry.
[03:07] <Warbo> Zyfo: It is /media/hda1. What did you write?
[03:07] <mwe> Zyfo: /media/hda1 not \media\hda1
[03:07] <Lvip> P1020097.jpg: JPEG image data, EXIF standard
[03:07] <Zyfo> Warbo, I don't want them to be called C D E etc, I just want them to have fancier nicknames, last install (screwed it up) it worked fain for some reason to rename
[03:07] <Zyfo> Warbo, oh, haha, sorry :D media/hda1
[03:07] <Warbo> Zyfo: I was refering to the backslash
[03:07] <Zyfo> I see
[03:08] <mwe> Zyfo: /media, a leading slash
[03:08] <soundray> Lvip: can you post the convert command you are trying please?
[03:08] <Zyfo> yeah
[03:08] <Zyfo> !fstab
[03:08] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[03:08] <Zyfo> thank you ubotu.
[03:08] <Lvip> convert -resize BLAH file.jpg sm-file.jpg
[03:08] <Warbo> Zyfo: They are usually mounted by their partition label (I know I have a partition which mounts as /media//home, which is really weird)
[03:08] <Zyfo> !partitions
[03:08] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[03:08] <Warbo> Zyfo: But I don't know how to change the labels. Maybe with fdisk
[03:08] <Zyfo> Warbo, ok
[03:09] <Ronz> Ok...world of warcraft. It's up and running fine, but my keybindings aren't working. Anyone have an idea?
[03:09] <Zyfo> Warbo, hmm, I'll just look around a bit and see what I find (and learn)
[03:09] <soundray> !fstab
[03:09] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[03:09] <Zyfo> thanks again
[03:09] <howekern> Anybody know if copying over sources.list will mess up sources.d?  Or if that's even what it looks like, a daemone related to sources?
[03:09] <shinobi2> glxgears is running really slow, it move like on tooth per second
[03:09] <_Gandalf_> Hi guys, I just want to know, does ubuntu have a CVS/SVN/Whatever repository ??
[03:09] <soundray> ubotu, no, fstab is The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that should be mounted on system boot. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[03:10] <Zyfo> soundray :D
[03:10] <Lvip> heh.
[03:10] <Zyfo> nice and easy programming
[03:10] <soundray> Lvip: convert file.jpg -resize BLAH sm-file.jpg
[03:11] <mwe> what is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ good for?
[03:11] <Warbo> mwe: If LOADS of sources are used it can help
[03:11] <mwe> Warbo: so files in there would all work like seperate sources.list files?
[03:12] <Warbo> mwe: Oh, yes. Sorry, I thought you realised what is IS, but thought it was stupid
[03:12] <soundray> Lvip: or 'cp file.jpg file-sm.jpg && mogrify -resize BLAH file-sm.jpg'
[03:12] <Warbo> mwe: Mnay files in /etc can be replaced with multiple files in a folder ending in .d
[03:12] <mwe> yes
[03:13] <kazukisan> How do i get better play back of dvd's when there is alot of movement the picture get these lines in it, in other distros i didnt see that ???
[03:13] <Warbo> !dma
[03:13] <ubotu> dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing.  It makes hard disks run faster,  see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DMA
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> kazukisan,  mostof the video players got lots of filtering you can do
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> assuming its not a dma stuttering issue.
[03:14] <kazukisan> k
[03:14] <soundray> kazukisan: read up on the options that your video player software has for deinterlacing
[03:14] <Lvip> But soundray.
[03:14] <soundray> Lvip: working now?
[03:14] <Lvip> convert -list format does not list "JPG".
[03:15] <kazukisan> Dr_Willis: im using totem
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> i perfer vlc
[03:15] <Warbo> I use Ogle for DVD
[03:15] <soundray> Lvip: okay - it does here... Where did you get your package from, and what version is it?
[03:15] <Lvip> I use Gxine for DVD.
[03:15] <kazukisan> amd DMA is already on
[03:15] <Lvip> I got it through apt-get
[03:15] <kazukisan> and *
[03:16] <soundray> Lvip: I mean version of imagemagick
[03:16] <Lvip> And accordingly is newest version.
[03:16] <soundray> Lvip: which repository?
[03:16] <Warbo> Lvip: I use the radio station s built into GXine, and that is it. And most of those don't even work :)
[03:16] <Lvip> Version 6.2.5
[03:16] <soundray> Lvip: are you running edgy?
[03:16] <mwe> !info imagemagick
[03:16] <ubotu> imagemagick: Image manipulation programs. In repository main, is optional. Version 6:<IP_ADDRESS>-0.6 (dapper), package size 1576 kB, installed size 4064 kB
[03:16] <Lvip> Nope.
[03:17] <soundray> Then you didn't get 6.2.5 from ubuntu.
[03:17] <mwe> Lvip: appearently you somehow got a wrong package installed then
[03:17] <Lvip> I do recall compiling it.
[03:17] <Lvip> But I thought it was on my desktop I did that.
[03:18] <Warbo> AA! This lack of sudo is killing me (but not the process causing it, sadly) so I'm going to boot into recovery mode and get rid of /sbin/iwlist
[03:18] <darth_gimp> Can someone help me with mounting some drives?
[03:19] <Warbo> !mount
[03:19] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[03:19] <darth_gimp> 1 floppy and 1 partitioned HD
[03:19] <howekern> The new sources.list didn't work.
[03:19] <steven> Uhh..
[03:20] <steven> For what?
[03:20] <steven> Did you use Automatix?
[03:20] <Lvip> soundray.
[03:20] <Lvip> Got it.
[03:20] <soundray> Lvip: so you come in here, swearing and blaming Ubuntu developers for your homemade problem. Embarrassing...
[03:20] <howekern> Mesa still wants to install version 6.5 of certain libs, which don't seem to be in apt.. oh, and I have a problem where lots of opengl/mesa packages try to install version 6.5 of things, even though they don't work with version 6.5 of... things.
[03:20] <Lvip> I am embarresed.
[03:20] <Lvip> Stop reminding me, kay?
[03:20] <soundray> ;)
[03:20] <Lvip> I got both versions of the convert  file.
[03:20] <Lvip> Located different places.
[03:21] <darth_gimp> warbo what am I to do there?
[03:21] <soundray> Now tell me that the ubuntu one works, please, Lvip
[03:21] <Lvip> It just happens that it searches in the /usr/local/bin dir before the /usr/bin dir.
[03:21] <mwe> Lvip: get rid of the wrong version
[03:21] <mwe> Lvip: remove imagemagick files under /usr/local/bin
[03:21] <meatballhat> Does anyone have the patience to help with a PHP/Apache2 problem?
[03:21] <Stormx2> how can i see what apps are using internet, and on what ports?
[03:22] <mwe> Stormx2: sudo netstat -ntlp
[03:23] <Lvip> meatballhat:  Try see in #apache
[03:23] <bimberi> Stormx2: sudo netstat -plunt
[03:23] <mwe> Stormx2: or sudo lsof -i
[03:23] <trafiq> anyone try compile <IP_ADDRESS> in Edgy ? :
[03:23] <soundray> !edgy
[03:23] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[03:23] <darth_gimp> brb checking something...
[03:23] <kazukisan> Dr_Willis: Hey vlc doesnt do anything when i click open dvd ?
[03:25] <meatballhat> Lvip: thanks - I'll do that :-)
[03:25] <mwe> why does ubuntu have such crazy code names :)
[03:25] <Lvip> Cause it is so crazy. :)
[03:25] <MetaMorfoziS> :)
[03:25] <Lvip> And unlike Windows, Linux distro can have such crazynames. :)
[03:25] <steven> Yeah!
[03:25] <Lvip> Other than the fact that Vista means Chicken in some language.
[03:25] <dodgyville> Hello
[03:25] <mwe> !schedule
[03:25] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[03:25] <minerale> Hello, dear sisters and bretheren .... I'm making an attempt to play a dvd, albeit the wicked application won't get me past the 'title' notices (ie, fbi, rated r etc)
[03:25] <steven> We don't have to be like 'XP' or 'Vista'...
[03:25] <soundray> mwe: what do you expect from a leader who calls himself the SABDFL ;)
[03:26] <steven> minerale, Look at RestrictedFormats.
[03:26] <steven> !RestrictedFormats
[03:26] <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
[03:26] <mwe> soundray: heh. I didn't know but it explains it somewhat
[03:26] <steven> OH YEAH!
[03:26] <steven> Steven got one command right.
[03:27] <steven> Basically, because Linux doesn't pay a licensing fee to use the codecs, the Linux community is pirating if they DO use them.
[03:27] <steven> Unless you don't live in the US. Do you live in the US?
[03:27] <dodgyville> I have a handheld device that I want to see in lsusb as a "Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget", at the moment it is loading as a "Linux-USB File Storage Gadget". Now, I do believe the handheld is running the correct drivers...
[03:27] <minerale> steven: i've gone through the list and have installed everything blindly, should I not use totem ?
[03:27] <Stormx2> I have the Java Runtime Envirnoment (sun's) installed, and java apps run, except firefox still won't run Java applets. Why?
[03:27] <steven> minerale, Did you just ignore everything I typed?
[03:27] <dodgyville> Don't worry
[03:27] <minerale> Steven, yeah I have  gone through that wiki page
[03:28] <steven> Yeah, did you totally skip over the party about piracy and codecs?
[03:28] <soundray> Stormx2: amd64?
[03:28] <Stormx2> soundray: Nope.
[03:28] <niruana> hmmm is there no C compiler standard in ubuntu?
[03:28] <niruana> i want to install kismet
[03:29] <Stormx2> niruana: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:29] <steven> Damn.  :D
[03:29] <Stormx2> lol ;-)
[03:29] <niruana> it isnt!! :P
[03:29] <Stormx2> >.<
[03:29] <niruana> hehe
[03:29] <soundray> Stormx2: find out where 'libjavaplugin.so' and similarly named files landed and copy them to one of the plugin directories.
[03:29] <niruana> long story aboout my nick :)
[03:30] <bimberi> niruana: kismet can be installed from the universe repository btw (no need to compile)
[03:30] <Stormx2> soundray: OK, thanks
[03:30] <DarkMageZ> niruana, we don't ship the compiler by default, cause we don't expect people to use it. you can install it with build-essential
[03:30] <niruana> how does it works?
[03:30] <Stormx2> soundray: didn't turn up any results O.O
[03:30] <niruana> sudo apt-get install build-essential ? :|
[03:30] <Warbo> Getting rid of iwlist seems to have fixed bootup
[03:30] <soundray> Stormx2: did you search with locate? Run updatedb first.
[03:30] <niruana> how does it know that is has to "build" kismet stuff?
[03:31] <DarkMageZ> niruana, according to bimberi, kismet already has a package
[03:31] <Stormx2> soundray: Ill do that.
[03:31] <bimberi> !info kismet
[03:31] <ubotu> kismet: Wireless 802.11b monitoring tool. In repository universe, is optional. Version 2005.08.R1-1.2 (dapper), package size 910 kB, installed size 2408 kB
[03:31] <DarkMageZ> niruana, you should just install the package
[03:31] <niruana> ow cool
[03:31] <Stormx2> soundray: Still nothing :(
[03:31] <mwe> locate will only search in some common predefined paths
[03:31] <niruana> in what section ubotu  ?
[03:31] <Stormx2> niruana: You're talking to a bot
[03:31] <soundray> Stormx2: or do a 'dpkg -L package | grep libjavaplug' on the jre package
[03:32] <steven> !kalendar
[03:32] <Stormx2> OK soundray
[03:32] <ubotu> I know nothing about kalendar - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[03:32] <steven> Aww...
[03:32] <steven> :(
[03:32] <niruana> lol Stormx2  ok :P
[03:32] <soundray> !info kalendar
[03:32] <ubotu> Package kalendar does not exist in dapper
[03:32] <DarkMageZ> niruana, you will find kismet in the universe repository, have you enabled universe?
[03:32] <bimberi> niruana: install kismet using the synaptic package manager, you'll need to enable the universe repository ...
[03:32] <niruana> no
[03:32] <bimberi> !universe
[03:32] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[03:32] <Stormx2> soundray: Eek, still nothing. Im using sun-java5-jre, that ok?
[03:33] <soundray> Stormx2: should be...
[03:33] <bimberi> niruana: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories
[03:33] <Stormx2> soundray: :( Ima go check the wiki
[03:34] <niruana> thx allot
[03:34] <bimberi> niruana: np :)
[03:35] <soundray> Stormx2: is your file db up to date?
[03:35] <Stormx2> soundray: I wouldn't know.
[03:35] <polo_> hi!
[03:36] <soundray> Stormx2: run 'sudo updatedb' to be sure
[03:36] <Stormx2> soundray: Apparently I need sun-java5-plugin XD
[03:36] <polo_> i hace a problem,  im using xine, and i can reproduce the wmv format, but the mpeg format is beeing reproduced with no sound
[03:37] <Warbo> What servers do I need to run to make an ethernet router's Internet accessible through WiFi? DNS? DHCP?
[03:37] <soundray> Stormx2: oh, is it in a separate package now?
[03:37] <polo_> does anyone kwon what pluging is missing?
[03:37] <Stormx2> soundray: Apparently ;-) hope it works hehe
[03:37] <guenter> leaving
[03:37] <Tsukaggin> Hey, how do I get the hardrive icons off my desktop? I have the icons for my other (windows) partitions sitting on my desktop and I can't remove them.
[03:38] <will> hi, is there any quick guide to spamassasin? Is there some clear guide to read and configure spamassasin with sendmail?
[03:38] <niruana> adn is there no easy way to enter WPA-PSK into your wifi card?
[03:38] <niruana> *and
[03:39] <Warbo> Tsukaggin: Go in System Tools>Configuration Editor>apps>nautilus
[03:40] <Tsukaggin> Ah. Uncheck Volumes Visible.
[03:40] <Tsukaggin> Gotcha.
[03:40] <Tsukaggin> Thanks.
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> !networkmanager
[03:40] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager
[03:40] <Tsukaggin> I always look for the complex method, and forget small stuff like this.
[03:40] <roostishaw> what is the equivalent to    per_count=$(printf "%02d\n" $num_count)    in python?
[03:40] <niruana> installed that Dr_Willis i can only select WEP but no WPA
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> niruana,  hmm.. i used it to  set up wpa i think.
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> niruana,  unless its thinking your card cant hanndle wpa
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> but then again - that program was the FIRST thing ive ever had that actually got my wireless working. :)
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> so i am not too fond of wireless in general
[03:42] <niruana> it can handle WPA
[03:42] <polo_> i hace a problem,  im using xine, and i can reproduce the wmv format, but the mpeg format is beeing reproduced with no sound
[03:42] <polo_> does anyone kwon what pluging is missing?
[03:42] <Ninjadude> hi everyone.....i have a bit of an "advanced" question regarding nautilus scripting...
[03:42] <Ninjadude> anyone in here a pro?
[03:42] <Ninjadude> (actually its not that advanced but i cant seem to find appropriate resources on it anywhere)
[03:42] <minerale> ninjadude: maybe in ##gnome
[03:42] <Ninjadude> ah, alright
[03:44] <aro-ron> I need some help. For some reasonthat I dont understand... whenever I log out of ubuntu, or restart X, instead of taking me to the logon screen. ubuntu crashes and locks up, and all I see is garbled trash on the screen. Nothing reponds or anything
[03:44] <Ninjadude> actually im back.....maybe someone can answer this here anyway, its more of a basic thing than a gnome thing
[03:44] <Warbo> I want to make my Internet access publicly available through Wifi. What servers do I need to run?
[03:45] <Ninjadude> i just want to know how to change the icon of a folder using the command line instead of right-clicking etc
[03:45] <lophyte> Warbo: you need to get an access point :)
[03:46] <soundray> Warbo: no servers needed, you just have to setup NAT. firestarter is one way to do that
[03:46] <Warbo> lophyte: I have a Wifi router, which I have lent to a mate (should be getting it back tomorrow, since I've found the book he lent me ages ago), but surely Linux can be set up as a server? That's where it's strength lies (and that would give me greater control for bandwidth limiting)
[03:46] <niruana> how do i search for hidden files ? locate ... x ?
[03:46] <lophyte> Warbo: you can't set up a Linux PC as an access point, as far as I know
[03:47] <niruana> lol you can lophyte
[03:47] <soundray> lophyte: that is not correct
[03:47] <lophyte> don't you need a certain chipset to do it though?
[03:47] <niruana> i didnt thougt so
[03:47] <nullifx> whats the best software for monitoring internet activity of other computers on a network?
[03:47] <niruana> wifi nullifx  ?
[03:48] <lophyte> I know there's a "hostap" driver but it only works with a specific chipset last I knew
[03:48] <soundray> lophyte, niruana: some drivers do not support ap mode
[03:48] <Warbo> The Networking dialog is just for connecting to an existing network then isn't it? Since it is asking for either a static IP or DHCP (which is why I was wondering if I needed to run DHCP servers and stuff)
[03:48] <lophyte> Warbo: yup.
[03:48] <nullifx> niruana: yes
[03:49] <niruana> nullifx: kismet is the best
[03:49] <RideSn> anyone up for fielding a GRUB question?
[03:49] <liquidscythe> hey
[03:49] <liquidscythe> i have a problem
[03:49] <liquidscythe> when im in my internet browser FF
[03:49] <liquidscythe> theres no sound for flash files
[03:49] <liquidscythe> WTF
[03:49] <soundray> RideSn: ask your question, then see if we're up for it
