[01:11] <mosno> guys, please help -- i need to stop my Asus F3SV's 1680x1050 LCD from making a "ringing" noise when it runs at native res (Feisty, upstream NVIDIA drivers).
[01:11] <ootm> mosno, change the refresh a
[01:11] <mosno> I commented out the HorizSync, and set the VertRefesh to 60 or 50, neither prevents it like it did on Gentoo 2007.0
[01:11] <ootm> mosno, change the refresh rate?
[01:12] <ootm> hmmm
[01:12] <zyclop> I have problems with setting the console font. /etc/init.d/console-setup start sets it just fine, but when i switch to X and back to TTY, it's reverted to the standart font.
[01:12] <Quentusrex> I want to setup a Ligthhpd server to flv video's stored on a separate NFS server. Should I go with the newest release of Ubuntu or with 6.06? What are the pro's and con's of each?
[01:12] <romern> Hello, just installed ubuntu 6.06, need to know if i will reinstall a new 6.06 using the same CD to setup mythTV?
[01:12] <Quentusrex> to stream flv videos*
[01:12] <mosno> ootm, to what? It's on 1680x1050 (native), VertRefresh 50, no HorizSync. Maybe I should set the Horiz, or something else?
[01:13] <ootm> mosno, I cant tell you to what - check the monitor manual to see what refresh rates it support and try those
[01:13] <mosno> ootm, the manuals dont get specific
[01:13] <mosno> the website sucks
[01:13] <mosno> *Sigh*
[01:13] <Quentusrex> mosno, google it
[01:13] <mosno> Quentusrex, tried, i'll try again i suppose.
[01:13] <Quentusrex> somewhere you'll find a site selling your monitor that will say what the specks are.
[01:13] <Quentusrex> what model?
[01:13] <Quentusrex> I'll help
[01:13] <mosno> Asus F3SV
[01:13] <mosno> thanks
[01:14] <Ellon> just installed ubuntu and i'm having trouble with grub loading windows - it hands at "Starting up..." - my fstab and part of my menu.lst are here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34784/
[01:14] <Ellon> hangs*
[01:15] <attunix> how do I start gnome from command line?
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> /etc/init.d/gdm start
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> should do it
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> well, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[01:15] <attunix> ok. thanks
[01:16] <mosno> Quentusrex, maybe i should try Envy?
[01:16] <Quentusrex> ?
[01:17] <Quentusrex> 15.4" WXGA+ (1440x900) TFT colour LCD
[01:17] <Quentusrex> that's your monitor. now google those specs
[01:18] <mosno> Quentusrex, wrong, it's a WSGXA+ (1680x1050).
[01:18] <Quentusrex> oh?
[01:18] <Quentusrex> ok
[01:18] <mosno> trying envy at the second
[01:18] <Ellon> anybody have a suggestion? i've been googling this for hours
[01:19] <Hairulfr> Ellon: Fixing your grub boot,
[01:19] <Quentusrex> I want a recommendation on whether to use 6.06 lts or a newer version for a lighttpd server that will stream flv files from a separate nfs server.
[01:19] <Hairulfr> Ellon: You need to boot of something I guess, to get a iso burned
[01:19] <mosno> Quentusrex, "
[01:19] <mosno> * Comment out the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines.
[01:19] <mosno> The nVidia driver will automagically adjust to the correct resolution without the need for the HorizSync/VertRefresh lines." --from http://gentoo-wiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Newpages&feed=rss
[01:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> newer
[01:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> probable due to stabilty
[01:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> but 6.06 is a lts
[01:20] <Ellon> well i'm booting into ubuntu just fine atm
[01:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> i got a lamp setup working on 7.04 but i guess it's preference really
[01:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> *LAMP
[01:21] <mosno> that did it :)
[01:22] <mosno> i can still sort of hear it, but it's less now (or i got used to it... hrm)
[01:22] <triplc> Hi all
[01:22] <screenname92834> hi folks
[01:23] <screenname92834> folks, I have a problem running a newly installed app
[01:23] <sudo_rm_-rf_> hi
[01:23] <aa__> hell
[01:23] <aa__> hello
[01:23] <triplc> Where /etc/inittab? I need to do several things that I used to do it with /etc/inittab.
[01:23] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ok what's wrong
[01:23] <aa__> help me
[01:23] <screenname92834> it just produces error no code for module (gtk gtk)
[01:23] <aa__> i can't install my software
[01:24] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ok
[01:24] <SlimeyPete> aa__: what software? what error are you getting?
[01:24] <triplc> (1) I want to disable login in tty1 (getty), so, the login should be only in tty2 (text, no GUI, no GDM). How to do it without /etc/inittab?
[01:25] <triplc> (2) I want press ctrl-alt-del to "halt" instead of "reboot". How to do that in Ubuntu. please help.
[01:25] <mosno> triplc, why not mod inittab accordingly'
[01:25] <mosno> read man 5 inittab
[01:25] <triplc> ok, let me read the man page
[01:25] <jrib> triplc: /etc/inittab is replaced by /etc/event.d/* in upstart.  If no one here knows and the upstart docs don't answer your question, try #upstart too
[01:26] <jrib> !upstart > triplc (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:26] <triplc> man inittab---> No manual entry for inittab (!)
[01:26] <screenname92834> so I run my app and it says error no code for module (gtk gtk) and quite
[01:26] <screenname92834> quite
[01:26] <screenname92834> quits
[01:26] <sudo_rm_-rf_> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_disable_Ctrl.2BAlt.2BDel_from_restarting_computer_in_Console_mode
[01:26] <sudo_rm_-rf_> for the ctrl alt del thing
[01:27] <jrib> screenname92834: what application?  pastebin the entire output
[01:27] <sudo_rm_-rf_> change the syntax for shutdown command
[01:27] <mosno> whoa, i missed upstart, it's been a while since i've been back on Ubuntu :)
[01:27] <sudo_rm_-rf_> to -h to shutdown not restart
[01:27] <screenname92834> the application is called chart and it's part of the gnu software lib I think
[01:27] <triplc> jrib, thanks
[01:27] <triplc> sudo_rm_-rf_, thanks
[01:27] <sudo_rm_-rf_> niceto hear
[01:28] <screenname92834> sorry what is pastebin?
[01:29] <jrib> !pastebin > screenname92834 (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:35] <thecross> hello. having some problems with my sound. When i test the sound play back in Sound preferences i get this error message: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not get/set settings from/on resource." and ideas would be much appreciated.

[01:40] <agresor> How to make network and File sharing Betwen Windows Vista and Ubuntu Linux ?????
[01:40] <sudo_rm_-rf_> network
[01:40] <sudo_rm_-rf_> samba my friend
[01:40] <Ellon> samba i think
[01:40] <agresor> samba ?
[01:40] <ziroday> !samba | sudo_rm_-rf_
[01:40] <ubotu> sudo_rm_-rf_: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:40] <sudo_rm_-rf_> SMB share protocol
[01:41] <Trist_an> Ellon did you install ubuntu after or before Windows?
[01:41] <Ellon> after
[01:42] <Ellon> i can still access all my windows files from within ubuntu
[01:42] <Trist_an> but you can't boot windows while you can in ubuntu?
[01:42] <screenname92834> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34787/
[01:42] <Ellon> right
[01:43] <SoLpeX> sudo_rm_-rf: I cant find naultus :/
[01:44] <sudo_rm_-rf_> SoLpeX what do you want to do?
[01:44] <kauer> if anyone here has used an external USB audio card or audio digitiser with Ubuntu, I'd like to hear about your experiences, and what hardware you used. If anyone has used the ARTcessories Phono Plus (previously known as the Micro PRE) that would be very interesting.
[01:44] <riniver> Is there a utility or way to get the ubuntu system manager to display current cpu usage in the same way that the windows equivalent does?
[01:45] <sudo_rm_-rf_> gkrellm
[01:45] <kauer> neverblue: Did you make any progress with your cron/xset problem?
[01:45] <serenityUK> Ellon: the only difference with my one is it say root instead of rootnoverify.... i don't no if that makes a difference
[01:45] <sudo_rm_-rf_> gnome system  monitor
[01:45] <Ellon> i've tried both with the same result
[01:45] <Ellon> most things i've found with google say rootnoverify should be used for windows
[01:45] <SoLpeX> <sudo_rm_-rf_ I w ant to see how much disk space I have left
[01:45] <emeriste> riniver, I think I saw something like that available to be added to the panel.
[01:46] <Hylk0r> when I execute a program with gksu, sys.getuid() doesn't return 0, how come? And how can I know that a program has root access?
[01:46] <emeriste> Riniver -- You know the panels at the top or bottom of your screen?
[01:46] <riniver> yes
[01:46] <kauer> Hylk0r: try geteuid
[01:46] <emeriste> right click on one of your panels and then click on 'add to panel'
[01:46] <Hylk0r> ok thanks kauer
[01:47] <digitalspaghetti> Whats the easiest way for me to add a java application to my paths so i can execute it via command line anywhere, rather than /having/to/point/to/the/directory  ?
[01:47] <sudo_rm_-rf_> SoLpeX click computer then the disk drive right click then there will be a summary of the space avaliable
[01:47] <Pici> screenname92834: What program is giving that output?
[01:47] <emeriste> When you click on 'add to panel' that brings up a window.  Is it in the repos?
[01:48] <emeriste> There's something there called, 'System Monitor'
[01:48] <screenname92834> can someone just tell me how you get the username of the person you're talking to at the start of your msg?
[01:48] <riniver> emeriste: Got it, thanks
[01:48] <Pici> !tab | screenname92834 :)
[01:48] <ubotu> screenname92834 :): You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:48] <emeriste> Cool.
[01:48] <Venko> How do I go about setting up an entire filesystem as a shared folder through the command line?
[01:48] <screenname92834> !tab | pici testo
[01:48] <ubotu> pici testo: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:48] <Pici> screenname92834: the tab key...
[01:49] <screenname92834> oh right!
[01:49] <screenname92834> ha ha
[01:49] <Pici> screenname92834: i.e.: i type sc<tab> and it completes your name
[01:49] <sudo_rm_-rf_> yup
[01:49] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: Probbalythe simplest way is to put the whole invocation into a script, then run the script. If you keep your Java stuff in one place, you could also set up a CLASSPATH in your .bashrc or whatever, so that jars etc are found from wherever you are. It depends a bit on whether you run jars or classes.
[01:49] <screenname92834> sudo_rm_-rf_:
[01:49] <screenname92834> screenname92834:
[01:50] <sudo_rm_-rf_> screenname92834: ?
[01:50] <screenname92834> Pi
[01:50] <Ellon> screenname92834: you can change your nick with /nick NewNick
[01:50] <screenname92834> yes indeed
[01:50] <screenname92834> so this application
[01:50] <diegete> wenas
[01:50] <Ellon> ya know if you want something more personalized
[01:50] <screenname92834> I'll get the url out
[01:50] <IdleOne> screenname92834: best to type the first 3 letters
[01:50] <diegete> hello
[01:50] <digitalspaghetti> kauer, it's a jar
[01:50] <kauer> long clever screen names are a pain in the proverbial unless they are unique in the first couple of characters.
[01:50] <fruitbatJim>  I have two OSs on my hd, ubuntu and xp pro.....but there are 5 partitions. I can account for the two main ones and the linux swap, but why the two others - named 'extended' and 'unknown'
[01:51] <screenname92834> kauer: agreed.
[01:51] <digitalspaghetti> kauer, but i don't keep my classes in one place, it's just a simple application for compressing javascript
[01:51] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: OK, then either solution will do. CLASSPATH in your profile, or write scripts. Personally I'd write scripts.
[01:51] <digitalspaghetti> ok, i'll look for a tutorial on writing bash scripts
[01:51] <m0u5e> does anyone know if the window manager uses direct rendering to the graphics card by default?
[01:51] <screenname92834> Pici: http://directory.fsf.org/productivity/stock/chart.html
[01:52] <m0u5e> if not, how do we enable it?
[01:52] <serenityUK> fruitbatJim, extended partitions have other logical partitions inside them... because the old pc HD could only have 4 main  partitions
[01:52] <ron__> how can I change my task bars to a prettier ones? (I want it big, shiny and preffered glittery) and does anyone have a recommandation of a theme with LARGE icons and all shiny things?
[01:52] <nalpha> how to run beryl? I'm already install it.
[01:52] <ipx> beryl-manager
[01:53] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ron__: check out gnomelook.org
[01:53] <Pici> screenname92834: Did you install it with the .deb or did you compile from source?
[01:53] <fruitbatJim> thaznks serenityUK
[01:53] <nalpha> ipx: and?
[01:53] <ron__> under which category?
[01:53] <ipx> you have the manager in your system tray, there you can activate it etc
[01:53] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ron__: it's got a lotta theme's skin's etc
[01:53] <ipx> read a guidew
[01:53] <ipx> its alot easier
[01:53] <serenityUK> fruitbatJim, so you could have 3 old logical partitions and one extended with could have loads more old ones inside.. it's a workaround to stay compatible with 80s pcs
[01:53] <ron__> yeh, but I don't know what the terms means
[01:53] <serenityUK> which*
[01:54] <nalpha> ipx: where is the guide?
[01:54] <ron__> like, what is GTK?
[01:54] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: check ubuntubuide.
[01:54] <ipx> nalpha: there's alot of guides
[01:54] <sudo_rm_-rf_> it's in the wiki
[01:54] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: it's not hard. lets say you need to start your Java proggy by setting a classpath and executing some_very-long_complicated_command. Just create a text file called (say) "proggy". Make the first line "#!/bin/sh", make the secodn line a classpath declaration like "export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/my/jarfile", and the third line is your long complicated command. Save the file, "chmod u+x filename" and you can now just run "proggy" and forge
[01:54] <ipx> first of all, ask questions related to desktop effects in #ubuntu-effects
[01:54] <ipx> :)
[01:55] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: that's "chmod u+x proggy" of course :-)
[01:55] <screenname92834> Pici: I compiled it from source. Is Ubuntu a debian system?

[01:57] <denni1> Hey there, i need some help... How can i change the mount point, and how will it affect the data on the partition?
[01:57] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: If we put your name on a console,doesn't it will delete entire system?
[01:57] <boontoo> finnnnnnnnnne
[01:57] <[GF] Thor^^> hi
[01:57] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: yes every thing + forced
[01:57] <[GF] Thor^^> how can i setup C Compiler so it can make executables?
[01:58] <jrib> [GF] Thor^^: what are you compiling?
[01:58] <[GF] Thor^^> eggdrop
[01:58] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: so the system may not be booting again? you already try that??
[01:58] <boontoo> anyway just so the channel knows, if you have trouble playing back videos specifically such as windows video formats .avi and the likes, turn off desktop effects and it solves it
[01:58] <jrib> [GF] Thor^^: no need to compile eggdrop, it is in ubuntu's universe repository.  Use your favorite package manager to install it
[01:58] <faileas> [GF] Thor^^: i think build-essential is what ya need
[01:58] <sudo_rm_-rf_> denni1: change the mount point's in fstab
[01:58] <saxin> where can I find some nice wallpapers for my ubuntu desktop?
[01:58] <denni1> hey, can anyone help me???
[01:58] <serenityUK> denni1, it won't effect the data it will be safe but it might effect the permissions such as making it readonly.. as root edit the file:   sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[01:58] <jrib> !themes > saxin (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:58] <[GF] Thor^^> oh =P
[01:58] <[GF] Thor^^> ty ^^
[01:58] <sudo_rm_-rf_> saxin: check out gnome look
[01:59] <boontoo> saxin: www.gnome-look.org i believe
[01:59] <jrib> saxin: you can try places like devianart in addition to what ubotu sent you
[01:59] <jrib> saxin: deviantart even
[01:59] <kauer> nalpha: No, sudo_rm_-rf_ is not dangerous as is. The underscores defuse it, plus there is no filespec following. You'd need to tweak it quite a bit to do any damage with it.
[01:59] <saxin> jrib: Yeah, any other suggestions than deviantart?
[01:59] <digitalspaghetti> kauer, ok got that - now how do i pass in a variable?  the command for example is java -jar yuicompressor-1.1.jar myjsfile.js
[01:59] <jrib> saxin: ubotu sent you a list in a private message, do you see it?
[01:59] <saxin> yes
[01:59] <digitalspaghetti> so I would like to do ./jscompress myjsfile.js
[01:59] <sudo_rm_-rf_> kauer: yeah just seeing how stupid new user would be
[02:00] <nalpha> kauer: I know to run it.. heheh5x. but never I'll run it. thanx all
[02:00] <saxin> jrib: but that is not what I'm looking for.
[02:00] <jrib> saxin: then you need to be more specific
[02:00] <saxin> Its a well-known page like deviantart.. but i cant remember the name
[02:00] <saxin> with high-res wallpapers
[02:00] <kauer> sudo_rm_-rf_: Ignorant is not the same as stupid. Don't confuse the two, and try not to insult people.
[02:00] <[GF] Thor^^> ok, where is the eggdrop config located? /etc?
[02:00] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: there's a youtube vid of some guy doing it on a fresh ubuntu install
[02:00] <screenname92834> ignorant is not the same as nescient either
[02:01] <screenname92834> people always confuse the two.
[02:01] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: wew, do y ou know the link?
[02:01] <IdleOne> !offtopic

[02:02] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: the command line parms are $0 $1 $2 etc. $0 is the name of the script though, not that useful. a common idiom is to grab a required parm into a better name, like "INFILE=$1 ; /do/something/to $INFILE"

[02:02] <serenityUK> denni1, you mean to change an ubuntu installed on your hd or to mount temporarily while in liveCD?
[02:03] <cpilka> hi folks. i have some trouble running nfs server. after few hours of working i always get a "lockd: server xx.xx.xx.xx not responding, timed out". anyone here has a hint what's going wrong there?
[02:03] <sudo_rm_-rf_> both are pretty funny
[02:03] <digitalspaghetti> got it kauer, thanks :)
[02:03] <Jones> hello?
[02:03] <serenityUK> welcome Jones
[02:04] <[GF] Thor^^> ok, where is the eggdrop config located? /etc?
[02:04] <sudo_rm_-rf_> hi Jones
[02:04] <moo2> I just started using ubuntu for serious work for the first time - I do like the polish on this baby -- using 7.04 a few quirks at the start - but smooth sailing now -- I'm liking it!! -- I just wanted to say great work!!!!!!!!!!!!
[02:04] <Jones> Hi I just installed UBUNTU today and installed a whole bunch of apps, restarted, then all of a sudden it pups up with "Internal Error, Failed to initialize HAL" and now all wireless and networking are stuffed
[02:04] <Jones> Greetings everyone ^^
[02:05] <sudo_rm_-rf_> moo2: much apreciated
[02:05] <Jones> Just wondering if I could get some help on the matter, I'm kind of new to this OS, my computer skills are average >.<
[02:05] <sudo_rm_-rf_> Jones: Yes
[02:06] <throvold> im having a typical problem running beryl on ubuntu dapper drake (6.06LTS)
[02:06] <denni1> serenityUK, my problem is that i've destroyed my Ubuntu-installation by changing my partitions or something, and now im going to install a new ubuntu from the livecd but i want to save data... i've put the data to an empty partition, but i want the mounting point to be different.. should i wait changing mounting point untill after installation, or can i use the installation to do that?
[02:07] <throvold> i've installed the 96.39 nvidia drivers, fine, update the xorg.conf file ok with the correct settings im aware of
[02:07] <Jones> Any ideas? >.<
[02:07] <throvold> but beryl-manager just gives me the black screen, then re-runs GDM, anyone have a clue as to what i should do?
[02:07] <denni1> have someone in here tried the dell xps m1330?
[02:08] <nandan> hi
[02:08] <[GF] Thor^^> where is the eggdrop config located? /etc?
[02:09] <jrib> [GF] Thor^^: tried reading /usr/share/doc/eggdrop/README.Debian ?
[02:09] <serenityUK> denni1, when you install after language etc choose manual partitioning instead of let ubuntu mange my partition... then you can pick a partition to mount as / from drop down menu and others will say things like /media/sda2 you can change to /media/mystuff or something
[02:09] <digitalspaghetti> kauer, I'm getting there but still need help:  http://digitalspaghetti.pastebin.ca/667854
[02:09] <sudo_rm_-rf_> [GF] Thor^^: most probably
[02:09] <[GF] Thor^^> thanks Jrib
[02:09] <digitalspaghetti> that script gets me as far as Unable to access jarfile :/home/digitalspaghetti/Tools/yuicompressor/build/yuicompressor-1.1.jar
[02:10] <denni1> serenityUK, and the data on the partition will not be gone after installation?
[02:10] <decay> how do i install my own program in linux? for example, i'd like to type "my_script" in console instead of "python my_script.py"
[02:10] <serenityUK> denni1, no that will set up you /etc/fstab for you.. just don't install ubuntu over the top of it lol... you said the data was on a spare partition?
[02:10] <throvold> Anyone know how to solve the black screen problem, with beryl?

[02:11] <polopolo> hello all, what is driver update cd, you can see it on the install cd
[02:11] <marbrunner> @denni1, be suare that u dond format the partition
[02:11] <jrib> [GF] Thor^^: there's an example one in usr/share/doc/eggdrop-data/examples/eggdrop.conf.gz .  You can probably copy somewhere, modify it how you want, and then tell eggdrop where it is.  Check 'man eggdrop' to see either where it looks by default or how to pass a custom conf file (-m I believe)
[02:11] <Jones> SerenityUK, I have an error popping up on reboot, Internal error Failed to initialize HAL, do you know what that means and how I can fix it?
[02:11] <denni1> yeah, i've got three partitions, exept the swap... one only containing what i want to save...
[02:12] <denni1> serenityUK, thank you very much... a big help for me..

I have to run `telinit 3` (sic!) to run all the daemons listed in /etc/rc3.d/ -- `telinit 2` leads to "unknown", too. apt-get dist-upgrade returns "0 ..., 0 ..., 0 ..., 0 ..." so everything should be in a proper state. Any idea which pkg to fix and how?
[02:15] <serenityUK> if you type someones nick in s sentence Jones it will highlight it.. there is also TAB to autocomplete a nick

[02:16] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: For a jar in a classpath you need the full path and name of the jar file to be in the class path. You just have the path. However, in this case, because you have a jar file, you don't need the class path at all - just provide the full path to the jar file and all will be well. What you've got won't work because even in the best case you've added a colon to the front of the path. The path, as you are using it, is not a class path, it's just a

[02:16] <nalpha> vlt: command not found
[02:17] <serenityUK> Jones, i'm looking at similar in the forums... can you look in System->Admin->Services and see if (dbus) is ticked near the bottom
[02:17] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: where is the beryl manager?
[02:17] <wanger> decay: yeah that'd work, sorry i didn't read your question properly the first time, to make it executable you need to put a #! /usr/bin/python at the beginning of the script and make it executable with chmod
[02:17] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: system tools

[02:18] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: then execute it
[02:18] <vlt> nalpha: /usr/bin/beryl-manager belongs to the pkg beryl-manager.
[02:18] <kauer> Jeez I hate it when i compose a great long helpful message and send it only to find out the recipient has left! Grr. What a waste of my time.
[02:19] <emeriste> You could post it and maybe those of us who are lurking will benefit.
[02:19] <msjones> can anyone recommend the best bluetooth adapter for ub?
[02:19] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: does it work
[02:19] <lousygarua> when using dual-monitors with a single X screen, can i set the gnome-panels to be only on one of the monitors instead of spanning on both?
[02:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: does it work??
[02:20] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: hm... beryl-manager command doesn't recognized, but I executed beryl, and it's running now... ? how come???
[02:20] <FelixFrankeser> Hi!
[02:20] <FelixFrankeser> Is Ubuntu + Quicktime possible?
[02:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: that's odd cos beryl comes with beryl manager
[02:21] <serenityUK> Jones are you mounting any network SMB drives in fstab?
[02:21] <kauer> lousygarua: If you use go to the panel properties and turn off expand, I think it will only gro enough to accomodate the items on it. Otherwise it expands to span the screen.
[02:21] <magnetron> not the quicktime software, but you can still watch quicktime videos
[02:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: and with beryl manager you can choose which window manager you want
[02:21] <Jones> serenityUK: sorry I dont know what that means, it's just a normal laptop :P
[02:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: woop's
[02:21] <lousygarua> kauer: yeah i was thinking of it as a temporary solution
[02:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> beryl manager is a seperate packager
 install mplayer (sudo apt-get mplayer-nogui
[02:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> beryl manager is a seperate package
[02:22] <serenityUK> Jones it means mounting windows drives over network
this supports .mov and .3gp extensions
[02:22] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: wew, I don't know about it, but I try install beryl with sudo apt-get install beryl, now I install beryl-manager... :)
[02:22] <kauer> lousygarua: I don't understand. It's permanent until you change it. You can change it any time.
[02:22] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: also install (sudo apt-get install beryl-manager_
[02:23] <Jones> serenityUK: I do have a windows installation on a separate partition, but other than that, no drivers over network
[02:23] <daedra> sudo_rm_-rf: your name is EVIL
[02:23] <lousygarua> kauer: well, yeah. but i don't use the dual monitor all the time and when single monitored i'd like my panel to expand :) (laptop that is)
[02:23] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: oh yeah thanx alot
[02:23] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: apreciated

[02:24] <sudo_rm_-rf_> daedra: not as much as dd with /dev/null
[02:24] <kauer> lousygarua: So you want it to automatically figure out whether or not it should expand across both screens? It depends upon whether your second screen is still "there" even if not connected. Personally I think two clicks is not a high price to pay....
[02:24] <serenityUK> Jones can you try opening a terminal an pasting:  sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[02:24] <kauer> lousygarua: sorry, three clicks.

[02:25] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects

[02:25] <adamk> Anyone know I can get Ubuntu to *not* overwrite my xorg.conf file when it first boots up and detects a different video card from last time?
[02:25] <humbolto>  I forgot my luksKeyPhrase. At least I don't remember exactly. I want to write a file with all combinations I think it could be and run luksOpen for each line. I know how to read the file line by line in bash, but my cryptsetup thing does not work, since I am testing it with a partition I still remember the passphrase of.
[02:25] <daedra> sudo_take_bat_to_motherboard?
[02:25] <humbolto> Can anybody help me with the proper cryptsetup command?
[02:26] <humbolto> This is what I have and what does not work: while read line; do echo "$line" | sudo cryptsetup -d - luksOpen /dev/loop0 testcrypt ; done < asboe/phrases2
[02:26] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: also it's recommend to install beryl-settings to be able to tweak it
[02:26] <nalpha> hey anyone will stop to destroying ubuntu with sudo rm rf / ??? Heres's the support channel, not evil channel :)
[02:26] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: okey

[02:26] <Jones> serenityUK: ok done, it opened my file browser
[02:26] <TheMafia> why won't my tar command actually exclude those files?
[02:26] <sudo_rm_-rf_> daedra: nice sudo
[02:27] <kauer> lousygarua: If your laptop can't tell whether the second monitor is there or not (i.e., it still expands the panel across a non-existent screen) then I don't see how you can automate it. You might be able to do something with the stored panel properties, I suppose, to at least reduce it to a single click....
[02:27] <Jones> serenityUK: if I click on the network connection icon, it says that no network devices were found
[02:27] <serenityUK> Jones now try:  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[02:27] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: how beryl??
[02:28] <lousygarua> kauer: actually, my nvidia allows me to use the two monitors as two seperate x screens, but that requires x restart and i hate losing all my progs... damn linux

[02:33] <serenityUK> Jones there seem to be other people on the forums with same problem by searching for "Failed to initialize HAL" but different solutions to fix..
[02:34] <serenityUK> Jones do you know how to use synaptic?  try reinstalling dbus and HAL
[02:34] <Jones> serenityUK: ok I will try
[02:34] <hjmills> hi - how do I compile something to install into /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin?
[02:35] <Miravlix> rickjones: Do you use raid? mdadm is the raid tools, so it's only important if you setup a raid.
[02:35] <sudo_rm_-rf_> hjmills: should be in the config
[02:35] <sudo_rm_-rf_> hjmills: or make file
[02:35] <serenityUK> Jones System->Admin->Synaptic then search for dbus and HAL seperately then ightclick and mark for reinstallation
[02:35] <hjmills> sudo_rm_-rf_, any way I can change it at compile time?
[02:35] <rickjones> Miravlix : no sadly i'm not. so it's not important for anytrhing else but RAID ? ok, thanks.
[02:36] <Jones> serenityUK: yeah it's reinstalling now
[02:36] <fsckr> hjmills, i think there are options with /.configure look at the read me of what you are building

[02:58] <serenityUK> Jones that is what he means by manual config..  you could try unticking roaming mode setting to static ip
[02:59] <guyvdb_> When my ubuntu is authenticating using passwd is it doing this through pam?
[03:00] <Jones> serenityUK:  I just did, it keeps reverting back to roaming
[03:01] <genii> guyvdb_: It tries PAM methods first then if nothing in pam config file applies it falls thru back to system login method (passwd)
[03:01] <Jones> serenityUK: wait, I got it
[03:01] <Jones> serenityUK: So I do the hal downgrade again?

[03:39] <faileas> assuming they don't block port 20
[03:39] <faileas> 22
[03:39] <Mclovin_School> faileas: there are remote ssh clients online java based that you can use
[03:40] <Mclovin_School> and i also have on server running 22 and another on port 115

[03:40] <workstohard> can anyone tell me the best way to check if a remote system is listing on a port besides using telent port%x
[03:40] <Pici> unics: okay. looking.
[03:40] <Pici> workstohard: nmap
[03:40] <faileas> Mclovin_School: java based ones can't handle a blocked port.tried it ;p
[03:40] <unics> ok, thank you :)
[03:41] <SlimeyPete> big_bang14: I doubt it. If it happens in both OSes then it's probably a hardware issue.
[03:41] <Mclovin_School> faileas: thats how im using it right now
[03:41] <Pici> unics: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[03:41] <faileas> Mclovin_School: not a good firewall then ;p
[03:42] <workstohard> nmap didnt work
[03:42] <Ghismo> hey  guys what is the name of the chanel of ubuntu about desktop look?
[03:42] <serenityUK> workstohard, look into nmap... it has various port scanners both stealth and legit
[03:42] <faileas> !effects
[03:42] <ubotu> For help or discussion on Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[03:42] <Mclovin_School> does anyone have good tips on getting a static ip from comcast?
[03:42] <unics> Pici: 7.04 server
[03:42] <serenityUK> sorry to slow
[03:42] <Mclovin_School> or getting a reverse dns
[03:42] <Mclovin_School> that would be nice too
[03:43] <workstohard> well im looking for just a default tool :))
[03:43] <faileas> Mclovin_School: how about dynamic dns?
[03:43] <workstohard> nothing extra
[03:43] <Mclovin_School> faileas: thats what im doing right now but i would love to have a static ip and a reverse dns
[03:43] <ostannard> Mclovin_School: dyndns.com will give you a domain name that is automatically updated to your IP address by software
[03:44] <Mclovin_School> ostannard: i know lol but i want a reverse dns
[03:44] <hp> who's there
[03:44] <isidoro> hi guys
[03:44] <serenityUK> workstohard, have you tried System->Prefs->Network Tools  it has a port scan
[03:44] <Masticore> Anyone know why I get black screen in VLC 50% of the movie? I have installed Codecs.
[03:44] <isidoro> any of you has experience with hal?
[03:44] <sacredheart> Is it possible to make cron run like every 30 seconds without coding some sort of daemon-wrapper to the script in perl or python?
[03:45] <workstohard> this is for my server all cli
[03:45] <isidoro> I ma getting crazy
[03:45] <ostannard> Mclovin_School: what do you need rdns for?
[03:46] <isidoro> where can i discuss about hal for ubuntu?
[03:46] <Mclovin_School> mainly so that i can be<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:46] <Pici> unics: try doing this: `sudo modprobe 3c59x`
[03:46] <hp> who knows why i can't receive the last word in this chatting room
[03:46] <unics> ok, and after that ?
[03:46] <mattycoze> hey anyone know how to fix CD drive problems with ubuntu, i can't get it to read the CD"s i put in there, when i try accessing the CD drive on my laptop it comes up with; mount: special device /dev/hdb does not exist
[03:47] <mattycoze> wtf does that mean?
[03:47] <serenityUK> workstohard, try knocker it claims to be simpler scanner than nmap
[03:47] <ostannard> Mclovin_School: you need normal dns for that, and dynamic dns if the IP of your server will change
[03:47] <Pici> unics: ifconfig
[03:47] <scratchme> fyrestrtr, I grabbed KompoZer, it is based on nvu, and seems to work.   I have a linux box with a video output which keeps dimming (screensaver?) after not touching the keyboard for a while. Any hints on how to prevent this?
[03:48] <aantoon> mattycoze: hdb is not your cddrive it is /media/cdrom
[03:48] <Mclovin_School> ostannard: no, i need a reverse dns set up on my isp side in order to make my ip provided by my isp to also point to roflsox.net
[03:48] <yeniklasorr> Do you know a app for to be a dj on a shoutcast server (with playback support) ?
[03:49] <ostannard> dns turns roflsox.net into the IP address of your server so that an email can be sent
[03:49] <Mclovin_School> !google shoutcast linux
[03:49] <Mclovin_School> right but for ident it reaches for ip not roflsox
[03:49] <isidoro> hal says block.is_volume = true  (bool) but is wrong that's not volume but a storage
[03:49] <mattycoze> aantoon well i dunno why that would come up
[03:50] <aantoon> mattycoze: how many partitions do you have and how many disks?
[03:50] <ostannard> rdns turns an ip address into a domain name, computers can only contact each other with ip addresses
[03:51] <bensode> good mornig!  Looking for an app to duplicate a CD, something like Roxio in the Windows world under Ubuntu
[03:51] <workstohard> anyother tools just to check if a service is listing and not scanning?
[03:51] <Pici> unics: I'm not really sure.. sorry.  Maybe someone else in the channel can assist you.
[03:51] <aantoon> bensode: k3b
[03:51] <bensode> workstohard, have you tried "netstat -an | grep LISTEN"
[03:51] <ostannard> Mclovin_School: you need to buy the domain roflsox.com and set it to point to your IP address
[03:51] <mattycoze> have only one hard drive, and a CD drive, on the HD i dunno how many partitions it's got
[03:51] <unics> ok, thank you Pici :)

[03:52] <praet> bensode: in command lines: sudo umount /dev/cdrom   then  readcd dev=/dev/cdrom f=file.iso
[03:52] <serenityUK> unics try lspci is is listed at the bottom
[03:52] <bensode> aantoon, requires kde lol
[03:53] <unics> serenityUK, umm, please explain that in bash commands, as i'm pretty new to linux :)
[03:53] <unics> just 'lspci' in bash ?
[03:53] <bensode> Does the ISO process work with bootable CDs?  I'm looking to duplicate a bootable CD
[03:53] <aantoon> mattycoze: use synaptic and install a partition program
[03:53] <praet> Haza1: echo $JAVA_HOME will tell you what is already set
[03:53] <serenityUK> unics sorry i meant open a terminal and type   lspci    it will list the pci devices detected on startup... it should say Ethernet controller near end of the list..if not it is a driver problem
[03:53] <Mclovin_School> unics: sudo lspci
[03:53] <mattycoze> kk anythign you had in mind aantoon
[03:54] <genii> bensode: If you make an iso image of a bootable cd and burn one from that image the result will be a bootable cd again
[03:54] <bensode> Gener1c, Cool thanks my Windows experiences have been the opposite of that ;)
[03:54] <unics> ohh, i see, it says: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c900B-TP0 Etherlink XL [Cyclone]  (rev 04)
[03:54] <praveen__> hi
[03:55] <Haza1> praet: when i run the echo command i get a blank line :/
[03:55] <Haza1> echo $JAVA_HOME that is
[03:55] <_imran_> how do you remove programs in ubuntu?
[03:56] <SlimeyPete> _imran_: the same way you install them: using add/remove programs or synaptic.
[03:56] <praveen__> hi pple
[03:56] <praet> Haza1: you can set the var in your .bashrc file like this: JAVA_HOME="PATH_TO _YOUR_JAVA_INSTALLATION"  then next line:  export JAVA_HOME
[03:56] <unics> serenityUK, what to do next ?
[03:56] <serenityUK> unics, try tryping      dmesg  |  grep eth0    to read any messages from the boot text
[03:56] <genii> _imran_: If you compiled it from a tarball/source then go into the home dir of that untarred source and do: make dist-clean
 Cheers mate i will give it a try
[03:57] <_imran_> SlimeyPete, but the program i installed is not in the synaptic list
[03:57] <_imran_> genii, i didnt compile it
[03:57] <SlimeyPete> _imran_: ah. How did you install it?
[03:57] <unics> 'dmesg | grep0' doesn't return anything
[03:57] <mattycoze> aantoon should i use swapd
[03:57] <wolferine> is there something comparable to Microsoft's Project in linux?
[03:57] <unics> grep eth0*
[03:58] <genii> _imran_: Then use the method SlimeyPete suggested
[03:58] <aantoon> mattycoze: hold on
[03:58] <praveen__> is it possible to use tomcat and apache at the same time
[03:58] <mattycoze> kk
[03:58] <_imran_> SlimeyPete, i downloaded a script, and copied some commands into terminal (took instructions from a site)
[03:58] <Masticore> Anyone know why I get black screen in VLC 50% of the movie? I have installed Codecs.
[03:58] <serenityUK> unics, maybe wireless try    dmesg  |  grep wlan0
[03:58] <unics> it's not wireless, i'm connected through a ethernet cable
[03:58] <wolferine> Masticore, is it just that movie, or did you try others
[03:58] <KlrSpz> is there a doc on how to install .deb files?
[03:58] <SlimeyPete> _imran_: ah. Then you will have to read the README or INSTALL file which came with it. There is no standard method for uninstalling software under Linux.
[03:59] <KlrSpz> actually le tme ask, where's the doc on how to install .deb files
[03:59] <Masticore> wolferine: I did try many movies.
[03:59] <SlimeyPete> _imran_: also, check the website for the software
[03:59] <wolferine> KlrSpz, use synaptic
[03:59] <Pici> KlrSpz: sudo dpkg -i file.deb   Or just double click in gnome.
[03:59] <wolferine> Masticore, half of the movie meaning what?
[03:59] <serenityUK> unics,  try    dmesg  |  grep Ethernet
[03:59] <KlrSpz> wolferine: well i am, but i'd actually like to get more familiar with aptitude
[03:59] <wolferine> KlrSpz, ask google :)
[03:59] <genii> _imran_: It would help if you posted the link for the instructions you follwed
[03:59] <genii> *followed
[03:59] <Masticore> wolferine: its switching to black every 5 sec or so.
[03:59] <unics> serenityUK, nothing, also treid lowercase
[04:00] <unics> tried*
[04:00] <wolferine> Masticore, for how long?
[04:00] <aantoon> mattycoze: i would go go for "parted" or gparted
[04:00] <_imran_> genii, here is the link http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/songbird
[04:00] <Masticore> wolferine: maby 5 sec movie and 5 secs black.
[04:00] <wolferine> Masticore, and in other media players?
[04:00] <Masticore> wolferine: the same
[04:01] <Pici> unics: do dmegs | grep eth -i
[04:01] <genii> _imran_: OK, reading
[04:01] <Pici> unics: dmesg rather
[04:01] <wolferine> Masticore, its your codecs
[04:01] <Masticore> wolferine: Mplayer, Totem etc
[04:01] <wolferine> Masticore, google 'ubuntu guide'
[04:01] <mattycoze> aantoon yeah i'll get gparted cause i'm no good with a command line
[04:01] <Masticore> wolferine: I followed ubuntuguide.org
[04:01] <wolferine> Masticore, it will explain what codecs are needed
[04:01] <unics> dmegs | grep eth -i doesn't reply anything either
[04:01] <aantoon> mattycoze: exelent
[04:02] <wolferine> Masticore, maybe your videocard, is the correct driver being used, have you had any other 'graphical' issues with other applications?
[04:02] <wolferine> is there something comparable to Microsoft's Project in linux?
[04:03] <mattycoze> okay i've got ext 3 /dev/sda1, extended /dev/sda2, and linux-swap /dev/sda5
[04:03] <Masticore> wolferine: Nope, everything else works fine. Beryl running fine too.
[04:03] <wolferine> Masticore, is beryl running while your watching movies?
[04:03] <_imran_> genii, there is a command to remove songbird but it doesnt work
[04:03] <genii> _imran_: It has on the very first page there the command to uninstall that. eg: put the script for it on your dekstop, then run: cd ~/Desktop ;chmod +x ; removesongbird.sh;./removesongbird.sh
[04:04] <Masticore> wolferine: Yes, also tried to disable beryl
[04:04] <genii> _imran_: Yes, you need the sript from the link, then also to make it executable with the chmod  command as they show. You may need to execute the chmod with sudo
[04:04] <boha> how can i get to this screen : http://www.michaellarabel.com/external/restricted-1.jpg ?
[04:04] <_imran_> genii, forgot to dwnld the script
[04:05] <mattycoze> @ aantoon; okay i've got ext 3 /dev/sda1, extended /dev/sda2, and linux-swap /dev/sda5
[04:05] <moo2> Where can I find out what all these vim packages are for ?
[04:05] <Masticore> wolferine: Its not returning black without beryl, but the movie is laggin.
[04:05] <jrib> moo2: apt-cache show PACKAGE  should give you a description
[04:06] <aantoon> mattycoze: that means you have two partitions and a swap
[04:07] <mattycoze> aantoon okay, that's kewl - does that affect the CD device function tho lol?
[04:07] <aantoon> mattycoze: no, you have to mount it
[04:08] <serenityUK> unics, the driver for your card is called 3c95x.... can you try    lsmod | grep 3c   to see if it is loaded ?
[04:08] <anomaly> if I want to share a dir with samba to a remote computer, do I have to also install vnc or could the remote computer just map the network drive through windows using <IP_ADDRESS>/share instead of //name/share ?
[04:08] <aantoon> mattycoze: hold on i am looking for a howto
[04:08] <Haza1> praet: so i went to open in vi /home/myuser/.bashrc and added the lines: JAVA_HOME="/usr/bin/java" and on the next line export JAVA_HOME
[04:09] <Haza1> if i was to echo $JAVA_HOME should i see the result now? because i dont
[04:09] <faileas> anomaly: VNC is merely a remote control software. you don't need vnc to share files over samba
[04:09] <Pici> anomaly: windows can map to an ip address just like it can map drives to a name: //<IP_ADDRESS>/share for example.
[04:09] <unics> serenityUK, 1 minute please, i just loaded another LiveCD to see if this recognizez the board, as i'm suspecting it's broken (the LAN2 LED on the router is not lit)
[04:09] <anomaly> Pici does the remote computer have to share the same workgroup?
[04:10] <unics> root
[04:10] <unics> oops :/
[04:10] <Pici> anomaly: not to my knowledge.
[04:10] <wolferine> Masticore, sounds like beryl is playing with you
[04:10] <serenityUK> unics, ok i get that sometimes.. try a differnt pci slot aswell or upluging power cable for 30secs
[04:10] <genii> anomaly: If they are not in the same workgroup you may need to use the IP address initially to find it
[04:10] <anomaly> Pici I had though I had set up samba right on the server to use /foo as the share. and from windos shouldn't it be <IP_ADDRESS>/foo ?
[04:11] <unics> serenityUK, power cable from PC or router ?
[04:11] <Pici> anomaly: Yes.
[04:11] <serenityUK> pc
[04:11] <serenityUK> mind you that is for my onboard ethernet not pci
[04:11] <genii> anomaly: //x.x.x.x/foo
[04:12] <anomaly> I had thought so.. hrmm.. will just have to tinker with it some more. sshd is working so I know its not a connectivity issue in general then.
[04:12] <serenityUK> my other pci ethernet only works in certain pci slots.. i hate hardware
[04:12] <serenityUK> im a software guy
[04:13] <unics> heh
[04:13] <Pici> ivan_: ?
[04:13] <anomaly> thanks for the help, Pici and genii.
[04:13] <unics> but the guy i got the PC from said internet worked for him
 sorry,test
[04:13] <genii> anomaly: Good luck with it
[04:14] <usuario__> hello
[04:14] <serenityUK> ivan_, any sentence with name in will highlight, you don't need brackets
[04:15] <unics> serenityUK, unplugged the cable for 30 seconds, and then booted, still the LED won't lit
[04:15] <aantoon> mattycoze: do you have a cdrom icon on your desktop?
[04:15] <mattycoze> aantoon no, sometimes it comes up tho
[04:16] <mattycoze> have a disk in the drive with somethign i wanted to install but mmm
[04:16] <unics> serenityUK, and when executing 'lsmod | grep 3c' i get: 3c59x      46760   0
[04:16] <aantoon> mattycoze: if you put a cd in it, it comes up?
[04:16] <unics> and then: mii            6656   1  3c59x
[04:16] <Haza1> Hmm what is the default JAVA_HOME directory in Ubuntu? =/
[04:16] <mattycoze> it reads it and comes up with an "unable to mount volume" error message, so no it's not on the desktop
[04:16] <jamesdell> !rmvb
[04:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rmvb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:17] <jamesdell> hello, anyone had successful try to play the *.rmvb format movie?
[04:17] <mattycoze> aantoon; details; mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)
[04:17] <aantoon> mattycoze: dos it do that with ALL cd's you put in there?
[04:17] <mattycoze> aantoon i'll try a music CD
[04:17] <diskin> Hi all, in the output of sar -b i see bread/s and bwrtn/s columns, is there a way to see which processes contribute to that load? Thanks.
[04:18] <unics> serenityUK, should i try another PCI slot for the ethernet card ?
[04:18] <serenityUK> unics, ok so the driver is loaded hmmm..  and you say ifconfig is just loopback?
[04:18] <ivan_> serenityUK:thanks
[04:18] <unics> serenityUK, yes
[04:19] <serenityUK> ivan_, you can also use TAB to autocomplete.. you don't have to type the full names
[04:19] <mattycoze> aantoon; hmm, yeah it displays on the destop but this error message is; Couldn't display cdda:///dev/scd0, there was an error launching the application
[04:19] <KlrSpz> ok gotta logout/in for a group change, bbiaf i guess
[04:20] <A3> (sorry to interrupt, but here goes my first irc session! whoehoe)
[04:20] <unics> serenityUK, i also have to say the other LiveCD usually recognized all types of internet connection and set them up properly, but it didn't work for this one either
[04:20] <frindou> hello
[04:20] <serenityUK> unics, yes try another slot.. the thing is it should light up before linux or windows even boots.. hardware thing not software
[04:20] <unics> serenityUK, ok, 1 minute
[04:20] <aantoon> mattycoze: try some other cd's like the install ubuntu install cd, if it starts up, remove it again
[04:20] <serenityUK> unics, can you try the card in another pc?
[04:21] <unics> well, that would be this PC, and i'm not confortable rebooting this one :/
[04:21] <mattycoze> hmmm
[04:22] <aantoon> mattycoze: if it reads ANY other cd then it is not your cd player but something elsw
[04:22] <aantoon> mattycoze: else
[04:22] <serenityUK> unics, you can have to network cards in one pc.. you should be able to add it and see if it lights up without breakin gthe other one
[04:22] <serenityUK> two*
[04:22] <mattycoze> aantoon it works perfectly with the OpenOffice suite cd lol
[04:22] <mattycoze> strange...
[04:23] <aantoon> mattycoze: that was what i thought :)
[04:23] <mattycoze> lol now what can i do? the disk i was trying to install was for windows Pc's but i never thought that would matter
[04:23] <mattycoze> cd's a cd' and it's just got files on it
[04:24] <aantoon> mattycoze: do you have a mp3 on your disk? play it, just double click on it
[04:25] <mattycoze> i have tons and they all work through Xine, i accidentally removed all the original ubuntu media stuff
[04:25] <kazim59> wow... I wonder why was I using GNOME... Xfce is so great!!
[04:25] <mattycoze> aantoon, the ones that come preinstalled
[04:25] <aantoon> mattycoze: well it should not matter, you should be able to browse it :-/
[04:25] <dandanilaprepele> guys i wanna ask u something
[04:25] <Pici> !ask | Dougie
[04:25] <ubotu> Dougie: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:25] <Pici> erg
[04:25] <unics> brb, restarting to see if ehternat card works
[04:25] <mattycoze> okay i'll try the original disk now in the CD drive
[04:25] <SyntaX-> how to create tables thru OpenOffice Impress?
[04:26] <aantoon> mattycoze: no
[04:26] <serenityUK> kazim59, yes thunar is not bad filemanager
[04:26] <aantoon> mattycoze: hold on
[04:26] <mattycoze> aantoon kk
[04:26] <aantoon> mattycoze: with distro do you have, dapper, feisty ?
[04:26] <fqh> ?
[04:26] <kazim59> serenityUK: why would anyone prefer gnome then? if they need lots of GUI things, use KDE... otherwise use xfce etc..
[04:26] <mattycoze> aantoon i run fiesty
[04:27] <dandanilaprepele> if i make a bootable mp3 usb player with some linux like dsl or anything else ... then can i use the mp3 player for playing music ?  ?
[04:27] <SyntaX-> Hi, how to create tables with OpenOffice Impress? there seems to be no "Insert Tables" option
[04:27] <Pici> !offtopic | dandanilaprepele
[04:27] <ubotu> dandanilaprepele: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[04:28] <faileas> well windows 3.11
[04:29] <Pici> dandanilaprepele: That is not an Ubuntu support question.  You're free to ask it in #ubuntu-offtopic.  Thank you :)
[04:29] <serenityUK> kazim59, if you want a bar like gnome you can tell it to fill the whole screen along the top or bottom
[04:29] <dandanilaprepele> faileas: did u answe me :P ?
[04:29] <faileas> dandanilaprepele: yup
[04:29] <kazim59> serenityUK: thats what I m loving... no bars! lol
[04:29] <unics> serenityUK, i just switched the cables, and it seems it wasn't plugged in properly because the LED lits now
[04:29] <dandanilaprepele> faileas: so it wont affect the mp3 player ?
[04:29] <faileas> why should it?
[04:29] <aantoon> mattycoze: if you click on a mp3 dos totem movie player start?
[04:29] <serenityUK> unics, ahhh!! hardware eh?  grrrr
[04:29] <unics> serenityUK, still 'dmesg | grep eth0' didn't reply anything
[04:30] <dandanilaprepele> faileas: k thanks
[04:30] <mattycoze> i don't have totem, should i install it?
[04:30] <aantoon> mattycoze: dos it ask you to install stuff?
[04:30] <serenityUK> unics, what about ifconfig?
[04:30] <unics> serenityUK, still Loopback
[04:30] <mattycoze> aantoon nah
[04:30] <aantoon> mattycoze: how come you don't have it it come's with ubuntu. yes install it
[04:31] <mattycoze> lol i accidentally uninstalled it aantoon when i was having an attempt at trying to get rid of that annoying keyring manager
[04:31] <mattycoze> bah still can't get rid of it
[04:31] <mattycoze> oh well
[04:32] <unics> serenityUK, do you have any idea on what could be wrong ?
[04:33] <aantoon> mattycoze: oh boy i think you have to resetup ubuntu again :( is the cd problem the only problem you have, think not he
[04:33] <mattycoze> aantoon kk installing now,
[04:33] <mattycoze> aantoon mmm that kinda sucks
[04:34] <mattycoze> aantoon how long till the next release of ubuntu?
[04:34] <serenityUK> unics, when you click on network icon and choose manual config does it mention wired connection?
[04:35] <unics> serenityUK, i'm running the 7.04 server version, i don't have a GUI
[04:35] <SlimeyPete> next release is in October, hopefully
[04:35] <mattycoze> when's the next release of ubuntu guys? Gutsy?
[04:35] <aantoon> mattycoze: there already is a next but, i would not recoment it, btw it was not feisty that gave you this problem, you just don't have the codecs installed
[04:36] <SlimeyPete> mattycoze: october. Yes, gutsy.
[04:36] <dxdt> mattycoze: unless there are unforseen problems, the release is on a 6 month cycle so just add 6 to the decimal of teh current version 7.04, and you get 7.10 so October of 2007
[04:36] <serenityUK> unics, try pasting this in terminal:   sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
[04:36] <mattycoze> aantoon yeah i know, but i was thinking the update would fill in the gaps
[04:36] <aantoon> mattycoze: :)
[04:36] <unics> i'm beeing asked for the assword
[04:36] <unics> do i type it in serenityUK ?
[04:37] <serenityUK> unics yes you can copy and paste
[04:37] <unics> ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
[04:37] <praet> Haza1: you have to logout and log back in for that script to run
[04:37] <tck> anyone set up a preseed file before ?
[04:37] <unics> Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[04:37] <aantoon> mattycoze: best to not update but do a fresh install
[04:37] <dai> trying to learn bash ls gives files and directoties but what if I only want to return directories
[04:37] <unics> serenityUK, it's another computer, i cannot copy/paste :/
[04:37] <aantoon> mattycoze: feisty that is
[04:37] <serenityUK> doh
[04:38] <unics> anyway, what does that mean ?
[04:38] <mattycoze> true
[04:39] <mattycoze> aantoon well thanks anyways
[04:39] <aantoon> mattycoze:np
[04:39] <mattycoze> gtg man
[04:39] <anomaly> testparm comes out ok, I am ssh'd in obviously as well to edit smb.conf, yet from the windows remote computer.. still failing to connect. anyone fairly familiar with samba? :)
[04:40] <bulmer> dai you pipe it to grep like so  ls -la|grep ^d
[04:40] <dai> ok will try that
[04:40] <bulmer> dai no single command can do everything so you make use of the other commands..by piping or redirecting..
[04:40] <unics> serenityUK, any idea what that output means ?
[04:41] <dai> tidy but what about say just returning directories in the home folder
[04:41] <bulmer> unics do you have an eth0 ?
[04:41] <kenji> how can I purge or uninstall not used packages?
[04:41] <serenityUK> unics, i expected that from down but was there nothing from ifup?
[04:41] <ward_> how can i manually set my IP adress in ubuntu?
[04:41] <unics> bulmer, i have an ethernat card, yes
[04:42] <kenji> how can I purge or uninstall not used packages?
[04:42] <serenityUK> bulmer, no his card is detected and module loaded but no eth0 in ifconfig or dmesg
[04:42] <sparrw> how can i specify a parameter for a module that is loaded at boot time (automagically, discover?)
[04:43] <unics> serenityUK, no, no reply from ifup
[04:43] <serenityUK> kenji, try sudo apt-get autoremove
[04:43] <jerbear> i've installed a few programs from source... what's the best way to get rid of them? the prefix is /usr/local
[04:43] <anomaly> basically, one machine a couple miles away needs access to the other machine so it can run a dos program for whatever reasoning. is samba the right path? vnc seems too much for this seemingly simple task.
[04:43] <ward_> how can i manually set my IP adress in ubuntu?
[04:44] <kenji> serenityUK root@duritz:~# apt-get autoremove
[04:44] <kenji> E: Operacin invlida: autoremove
[04:44] <bulmer> ward_  use ifconfig or edit the /etc/network/interface  file
[04:44] <scowby> does anyone here know about getting sound working in VMWare?
[04:45] <dxdt> jerbear: make uninstall in the same source that you did make install in.  In the future, you should use a progame called checkinstall.  Use this instead of make install and a nice package will be made such that you can remove the programs much faster and better in the future.
[04:45] <scowby> i've been working on this for over a week now.
[04:45] <scowby> no understanding of /dev/dsp - why it wouldn't be accessible.
[04:45] <ward_> bulmer, ifconfig myip ?
[04:46] <bulmer> ward_ i dont know the exact syntax at the moment, can you man ifconfig
[04:46] <serenityUK> ward_, click on the network icon an choose manual.. then on wired choose properties and untick roaming
[04:46] <serenityUK> ward_, then you can choose static ip from the drop down menu
[04:47] <aantoon> still can use some help in mouse lag problems
[04:47] <serenityUK> unics, try dhclient eth0
[04:48] <jerbear> dxdt: i tried checkinstall, but when i tried to install the package it looked like it was trying to install it to /usr instead of /usr/local and it failed
[04:48] <jerbear> dxdt: if it helps, the program i'm trying to install is pidgin
[04:49] <unics> serenityUK, with sudo ?
[04:49] <serenityUK> sorry yes
[04:49] <KlrSpz> hmm... this aptitude isn't half bad
[04:49] <unics> hmm
[04:49] <KlrSpz> not quite portage, but not bad
[04:49] <unics> i get some errors

[04:50] <unics> wait' i'll write the whole message down on pastebin serenityUK
[04:50] <ward_> serenityUK, there's no manual there
[04:50] <ward_> bulmer, no problem i'm looking in the manual now (but i'm kindof bad with manuals thats why i asked the syntax)
[04:50] <unics> !paste
[04:50] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:50] <Haza1> anyone point me in the right direction to figure out why this might not be working? :)
[04:50] <ward_> serenityUK, no i can't
[04:50] <serenityUK> ward_, left click not right click... you could also goto System ->admin->Network
[04:51] <ward_> serenityUK, in system -> admin -> network thats possible
[04:51] <ward_> not with the icn
[04:51] <Pragma__> Hi! Ware i can find deb packet of iscan driver!? Please? give me link!? =)
[04:52] <serenityUK> ward_, ok click on properties button for wired.. then untick roaming and choose static ip from the menu
[04:52] <BlackAlex> how do i set these variables in ubuntu (www.psp-programming.com) in ubuntu?  it says to modify the "login script" and add those statements but I cant find it.
[04:53] <Pragma__> Hi! Ware i can find deb packet of iscan driver!? Please? give me link!? =)
[04:53] <marti149> hi guys, how do you fsck  fat or /quit on ubuntu?
[04:54] <BlackAlex> Where can I find the login script for ubuntu so i can modify it?
[04:54] <giany911> BlackAlex modify what?
[04:54] <bulmer> ward_ it will be like ifconfig eth0 192.168.x.x netmask <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:54] <unics> serenityUK, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34805/
[04:54] <haka4> ce_bingung
[04:55] <Jowi> BlackAlex, depends on what you are after to modify. /usr/share/xsessions is one way of doing it.
[04:55] <BlackAlex> giany911, on psp-programming.com i am supposed to set two system variables PSPDEV and modify the PATH.  It says I should add statements to a "login scripts'.  I knew how to do this in cygwin on windows but i cant find it.
[04:55] <serenityUK> unics, now try ifconfig
[04:55] <giany911> BlackAlex ..sorry thats way above my paycheck :)
[04:55] <erUSUL> BlackAlex: in your home .bashrc or .bash_profile
[04:56] <unics> ohh, there is eth0 :)
[04:56] <serenityUK> unics, now try ping www.google.com
[04:56] <Pragma__>  Ware i can find deb packet of iscan driver!? Please? give me link!? =)
[04:56] <unics> statistics 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, it seems to work ...
[04:56] <serenityUK> OMFG
[04:56] <serenityUK> woooot
[04:56] <unics> :)
[04:57] <unics> nice
[04:57] <serenityUK> i think we need to do more to get it to work on reboot?
[04:57] <unics> umm, like what ?
[04:57] <serenityUK> atleast it works.. i think the cable was half the problem
[04:57] <unics> yeah
[04:58] <bulmer> BlackAlex: there are some login settings set at  /etc/login.defs too
[04:58] <unics> anyway, back to the INITIAL problem, i still get 'E: Couldn't find package ubuntu desktop' when doing: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[04:58] <unics> :)
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> nnunics  did you apt-get update         first
[04:59] <Pici> unics: sudo apt-get update now :)
[04:59] <arman> i have a core 2 duo cpu, i want to install ubuntu 64bit, i wonder if i will have any trouble about softwares or drivers?
[04:59] <Pici> unics: Glad you got it working too :)
[04:59] <Pici> arman: You may have difficulty with proprietary software like flash.
[04:59] <Jowi> arman, flash support
[04:59] <unics> ohh, yeah, forgot about update :)
[05:00] <serenityUK> arman, the trouble with 64bit is java and flash... flash is easy to fix i haven't fixed java yet.. it can be done im told
[05:00] <serenityUK> oh and quake 4 doesn't work in 64bit.. but all drivers are ok
[05:01] <TheMafia> how can I specify what version of java a program should use?
[05:01] <TheMafia> I have both 1.5 and 1.6 installed and 1.6 has a printing bug that 1.5 does not
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Synaptic installed Soom and quake but they do not show up in the list of games.  How do you run them?
[05:02] <Jowi> TheMafia, "sudo update-alternatives --config java" should let you chose
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Make that Doom was installed...
[05:02] <unics> wow, damn, it really works, this is so cool =)
[05:03] <Jowi> Jack_Sparrow, "dpkg -L packagename" will list the installed files
[05:03] <serenityUK> Jack_Sparrow, try opening a Terminal and typing the name... if it works we can set up a shortcut
[05:03] <SuperLag> which iw* command is it that will tell you which APs are in range?
[05:03] <fqh> Is there a leader or manager in here?
[05:03] <staar2_> hello i got problems with cd burning
[05:03] <unics> so, will the internet auto-start on ubuntu startup or will i have to start it every time, and if yes, how can i configure it to auto-start ?
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Will give it a try.. thanks
[05:03] <fqh> seveas and elkbuntu ?
[05:03] <neverblue> fqh?
[05:04] <serenityUK> unics, try reboot... if not we can set up a manual ip
[05:04] <staar2_> Which cd burning program should i use i need write a avi to cd
[05:04] <SuperLag> fqh: does it matter?
[05:04] <unics> serenityUK, wait, i'm just installing kubuntu-desktop, this may take a while =)
[05:04] <fqh> no matter. But I don't know
[05:04] <Jowi> !burn | staar2_
[05:04] <ubotu> staar2_: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[05:04] <neverblue> fqh, did you need help with something?
[05:05] <staar2_> huhu i use gnome and i need some simple burner
[05:05] <elkbuntu> fqh, what is your problem?
[05:05] <TheMafia> Jowi, but I only want to use 1.5 for this specific program, not all of them?
[05:05] <BlackAlex> hmm that set the PSPDEV variable but it doesn't think the PATH variable is set.  How do you view variables contents in the terminal?
[05:05] <staar2_> could someone anserw ?
[05:05] <Jowi> staar2_, go to Places -> cd/dvd writer (i think it's called since i don't use gnome) then drag'n'drop the file and click on "write"
[05:05] <aantoon> are there no game-ers in the channel?
[05:05] <fqh> sure. in future. thanks
[05:06] <DFM> I need help installing Adept so that I can actually run it in Ubuntu. I don't want Kubuntu but I do want to use Adept. I can install it using Synaptic however when I run it I cannot use it to install software, only look at it.
[05:06] <serenityUK> lol ok unics np
[05:06] <Jowi> TheMafia, don't know
[05:06] <neverblue> DFM, error when attempting to install software ? (not sure why you have to have Synaptic and Adept :)
[05:06] <xc_legend> i  game
[05:07] <NovemberSky> I'm Waitting for CDs, :(
[05:07] <BlackAlex> hey i edited the .bashrc file and logged out and logged back in but the toolchain says that it doesnt exist in my PATH yet
[05:07] <serenityUK> staar2_, my favourite is k3b but i heara gnomebaker is a simpler one
[05:08] <DFM> No error during install, I just prefer Adept to Synaptic. Problem is when I run adept it tells me that I do not have permission to use it to install anything. I have to enter password to install it but then I can't use it.
[05:08] <staar2_> i used that which come by default in ubuntu
[05:08] <staar2_> and atm it works
[05:08] <Jowi> DFM, perhaps you already have synaptic open? you can not use two package managers at the same time.
[05:08] <DFM> Password in Synaptic that is.
[05:08] <neverblue> BlackAlex, maybe as in #linux?
[05:09] <praet> DFM: sudo ?
[05:09] <ddonky> is there a guide to dual boot win2k?
[05:09] <administrator_> is there a german channel?
[05:09] <staar2_> hm which should be faster gnome or KDE ?

[05:09] <DFM> Jowi: I made sure not to have synaptic running and even rebooted to make sure.
[05:09] <SlimeyPete> staar2_: both about the same. Gnome may be a bit quicker.

[05:09] <perka> Is it possible to run ubuntu from a USB drive?  I just don't want to install K when I am trying to get used to the simplicity of Gnome.
[05:11] <praet> DFM: try this: sudo killall kio_file    and  sudo killall adept    and try again
[05:11] <Bartman_> how can you do a ubuntu server install off the normal desktop cd?
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: Not really, other than having it use vesa driver for use on different systems
[05:11] <serenityUK> Bartman_, there is a special server cd
[05:12] <Bartman_> I know.. but I don't have it right now.. and was wondering if you could do it off the regular cd
[05:12] <Bartman_> I believe I've done it with past versions 6.x..
[05:12] <praet> Bartman_: you could use the desktop edition and install server applications?
[05:12] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: So how do I start it, do i need to install grub on the computer I am running it from?
[05:12] <Bartman_> never mind.. I'll just get the cd
[05:13] <administrator_> wrde des nicht gehen wenn ich Truecrypt ber wine laufen lasse?
[05:13] <aantoon> any one here that installed neverwinter nights and had mouse lag?
[05:13] <neverblue> aantoon, using wine?
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: google linux on usb and you should find a good tutorial... sorry I dont have access to the link atm... I hate to tell people go google this or that.
[05:14] <aantoon> neverblue: no
[05:14] <Jowi> administrator_, try in #ubuntu-de :)
[05:14] <DFM> praet: Ok I will try when I get home from work. If I have tried running it after a fresh boot it would seem that nothing would be running like adept to begin with. Further if you have synaptic running and try to run it again or do an update it tells you that you can only have one running.
[05:14] <Dr_willis> neverwinter nights  - has  a native linux client. :) it can be a challange to get going I rember.
[05:14] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: It is the installation from my laptop, I do now wish to reinstall or reformat or anything, it is just temporary until my computer is back from repairs.
[05:14] <xc_legend> aantoon no i used the loki installers and it ran as a native copy
[05:14] <fqh> It seems that the the root's password must not be set to be same with the normal user's. in ubuntu. really ?
[05:15] <serenityUK> fqh, no i have mine the same
[05:15] <St3a1tH> hi guys , how can i change the charset of just one terminal so i can use BitchX in iso-8859-1 and see correct chars in some international channels ?
[05:15] <NovemberSky> how to talk with someone? the backround will be yellow
[05:15] <neverblue> fqh, man sudo
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: That site will tell you how to create a ubuntu usb ... and it works... I thought I used the install cd to create it...  HAve you considered running livecd  with a persistent usb.... it is quick to set up.
[05:16] <neverblue> NovemberSky, please rephrase your question, or make note of the language you speak
[05:17] <aantoon> xc_legend: no mouse lag?
[05:17] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: the live cd sounds like a plan. Can I configure the livecd to use the root filsystem (or at least home directory) from my usb drive?
[05:17] <NovemberSky> NovemberSky:test
[05:17] <atxatx> My syslog shows messages from both PHP4 and PHP5, is this normal?
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: yes
[05:17] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: cool, thanks!
[05:18] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: The base image for persistent is just over 40 megs
[05:18] <Javid> How do I find out the full path to a program?
[05:18] <serenityUK> Javid which program
[05:18] <Javid> in this case, xmms, but I'll need to do it for others
[05:18] <nathan> how do I make a link where it just runs the program instead of asking me to run or display it?
[05:18] <serenityUK> Javid which xmms
[05:18] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: yeah but I do not want it to use an image I want it to use the already present home directory on the usb drive
[05:19] <Javid> what
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: If you need help .. just ask...  I made an ISO of basic persistent flash so I can stamp copy on usb for friends
[05:19] <serenityUK> Javid, no which is a command lol... type which xmms
[05:19] <Javid> oh, ok
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: Create persistent drive... then copy over home to the usb
[05:19] <neverblue> atxatx, did you install both?
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: Any changes on persistent drive are same as a hd install
[05:20] <serenityUK> Javid, lol i can see how that looked for u
[05:20] <Javid> hehe
[05:20] <Javid> yep. thanks
[05:20] <neverblue> Javid, type 'which xmms' :)
[05:20] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: You will run into a couple issues with permissions... as the default user on persistent is "Ubuntu"
[05:20] <Javid> I got it already
[05:20] <neverblue> i know
[05:20] <nathan> how do I make a link where it just runs the program instead of asking me to run or display it?
[05:20] <underdog5004> genii, are you free?
[05:21] <Javid> I am saving that quote now. that was neat
[05:21] <neverblue> nathan, what program?
[05:21] <nathan> kompozer
[05:21] <neverblue> and its not already doing so?
[05:21] <nathan> me?
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: Once you create PER. usb then boot to it and create user name from other system
[05:21] <Hatty> Firefox is segfaulting. It was working find up until yesterday  (it would randomly hang and then X would hang) and now it just wont start at all. Any ideas or anyone have same problem?
[05:21] <neverblue> yes, is kopozer not already doing so?
[05:22] <nathan> well what I did is I dragged the program onto the desktop but I presses alt
[05:22] <neverblue> Hatty, as on irc.mozilla.org /j #firefox
[05:22] <atxatx> neverblue: Synaptic only shows php5 installed, and I don't remember installing both, but I do recall installing "php" and "php5" at separate times
[05:22] <Hatty> k
[05:22] <nathan> that popped up a menu and i chose make link here
[05:22] <nathan> and the link asks me to run or display
[05:22] <neverblue> atxatx, possibly you can find answers in #php
[05:22] <atxatx> ok
[05:22] <nathan> it works if I choose run but it's annoying is all
[05:23] <neverblue> nathan, so you want to add it to your menu, or to the desktop?
[05:23] <nathan> desktop
[05:23] <nathan> both actaully
[05:23] <kazim59> I've messed up my fonts directory... I copied windows fonts to some linux fonts directories.. since then a lot of apps have difficulties showing some fonts... how do I fix it??
[05:23] <nathan> but the one I'm talking about is the desktop one right now
[05:23] <neverblue> nathan, rigth click the menu (where no icon is) and you can add a program easily
[05:24] <kazim59> !fonts
[05:24] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[05:24] <over> Is there chinese?
[05:25] <neverblue> as for the desktop, you will probably want to search down the icon for the program, then if you right click the desktop, 'create launcher', add in the program, and the icon, then it should show up on the desktop
[05:25] <nathan> ok but how do I fix the one on my desktop
[05:25] <adnan> Help needed: Hi there dudes, I need help installing my usb wireless adapter, it runs on the atheros 5223 chipset but obviously at the moment madwifi doesn't support usb devices and I've tried using the Windows drivers with ndiswrapper but to no avail. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks
[05:25] <neverblue> nathan, as for how to start the program, you should just type in 'kompozer' or get the results from 'which kompozer'
[05:25] <neverblue> nathan, delete it, if you want

[05:26] <serenityUK> over, try #ubuntu-cn
[05:26] <adnan> neverblue, thanks
[05:26] <neverblue> nathan, read above, please

[05:27] <atxatx> another log-related question: my user.log and syslog show gconfd starting/stopping frequently, also seeing "failed to send buffer", is all this normal
[05:27] <nathan> you said to delete it or add to menu bar
[05:27] <neverblue> thanks serenityUK :/
[05:27] <over> thanks
[05:27] <neverblue> nathan, please read what I wrote
[05:27] <nathan> this irssi isn't scrolling up for some reason so plz say again =/
[05:27] <serenityUK> neverblue, i cheated and retrieved a channel list lol
[05:27] <neverblue> hehe
[05:27] <neverblue> nathan, it will be in your logs
[05:27] <nathan> ok how can I check that
[05:28] <Javid> kuake + irssi = huzzah
[05:28] <neverblue> im sure you can figure that out
[05:28] <Jowi> nathan, you should be able to just right click on the desktop and select Create Launcher.
[05:29] <nathan> yeah that works! I wonder why making a shortcut/link doesn't work but that does
[05:29] <frindou> salam
[05:29] <Javid> How do I rig a command, as root, to run as a normal user?
[05:29] <adnan> hmm
[05:30] <adnan> neverblue, that link would be handy only problems is when i do lspci my usb wireless device isn't listed at all
[05:30] <kauer> neverblue: "gr" is Greek. Did you figure out that cron/user prob? As far as I'm concerned it "works for me", so I'd be interested in how you fixed yours...
[05:30] <SlimeyPete> Javid: su -c <command> <user>
[05:30] <SlimeyPete> I think
[05:30] <neverblue> adnan, not good then
[05:30] <Javid> thanks
[05:30] <Dougie> isn't there an app that makes deb or ubuntu packages out of source?
[05:30] <neverblue> kauer, no, I never did, spent too much time on it
[05:31] <adnan> neverblue, but when i go to hardware information it lists the device as AR5523 usb device I think i just need to find a way to wake it up
[05:31] <neverblue> adnan, I cannot be of assistance, the link is all I can supply for you
[05:31] <adnan> neverblue, ok thanks
[05:31] <Jowi> Dougie, checkinstall is one way
[05:31] <Jowi> !checkinstall | Dougie
[05:31] <ubotu> Dougie: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[05:32] <atxatx> neverblue, how do i check my crontab for those entries
[05:32] <matthew_> i am using ubuntu ultimate edition and for some reason a lot of the text in my browser is white on white background, which is hard to see, anyone know how to change that
[05:32] <kauer> That's a worry: "(01:32:20) ubuntu left the room." :-)
[05:32] <neverblue> atxatx, excuse?
[05:33] <kauer> atxatx: Don't talk to neverblue about crontab entries, he may go postal on us! :-)
[05:33] <serenityUK> matthew_, do you mean web pages or the menus?
[05:33] <atxatx> neverblue, sorry i was saying earlier i had entries in my syslog for php4 and php5, both of those are CRON entries
[05:33] <Javid> su -c doesn't do it, it just gives me an error about symlinks
[05:34] <matthew_> web pages in my firefox browser, like gmail
[05:34] <crasher5> matthew Edit - Preferences - Content - Colors - Text
[05:34] <SlimeyPete> Javid: can you not just su <username> and run it manually?
[05:34] <crasher5> is that set to black? :)
[05:35] <serenityUK> matthew_, goto menu edit-->preferences...  then content tab... there is a colors button... untick system colours and pick your own?
[05:35] <Javid> no I can;t
[05:35] <Javid> well.. maybe
[05:35] <Javid> lemme see
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> matthew_: You have options in firefox to fix that
[05:36] <neverblue> atxatx, kauer warned you :)
[05:36] <baastrup> Hi, im trying to setup a mailserver, but should I use amavis-new or amavis-ng?????
[05:36] <matthew_> cool i got it now thanks
[05:36] <jesson> guys what is the command in terminal to install or download wine??
[05:36] <kbrosnan> matthew_: inside the browser window or in the browser menus?
[05:36] <neverblue> atxatx, did you ask about your situation in #php?
[05:36] <atxatx> sorry...
[05:36] <Pici> jesson: sudo apt-get install wine
[05:36] <atxatx> yeah those guys are weird
[05:36] <atxatx> they speak in code
[05:36] <neverblue> jesson, sudo aptitude install wine :)
[05:36] <spective> Ok. I'm having a problem in that certain system daemons such as slapd and notably dhcp3d run extremely slow when they start up. i.e. the start-up messages are printed a line at a time every 10 seconds. Using strace, they seem to be pausing on the "send" syscall. Any ideas? Please?
[05:36] <matthew_> inside the broser i said use web pages default colors
[05:37] <nathan> how do I read the log file in irssi?
[05:37] <neverblue> atxatx, they are use to ppl not reading before entering the channel, they try and 'weird' those ppl out :)
[05:37] <neverblue> nathan, maybe try google?
[05:38] <Dougie> hmm. ok well i get an error doing that =/
[05:38] <Pici> nathan: 11:25 <neverblue> nathan, as for how to start the program, you should just type in 'kompozer' or get the results from 'which kompozer'
[05:38] <jesson> i downloaded wine but its on my desktop how do i install it if its in my destop already??
[05:38] <Pici> nathan: /lastlog nathan 30
[05:38] <unics> how can i make programs autostart at startup ? (like kde for example)
[05:38] <neverblue> Pici, spoonfeeder :P
[05:38] <pringle> trouble installing nvidia drivers....when i run nvidia-xconfig  x wont start
[05:38] <nathan> you guys are so sweet =]
[05:38] <atxatx> neverblue, they asked me 'does your design document call for both php4 and php5' and so on, clearly they are on another level
[05:38] <Pici> jesson: Why don't you want to install it from the repos?
[05:38] <noplease> ubuntu.de
[05:38] <wanger> cd /usr/src/
[05:39] <neverblue> atxatx, I have -voice in the channel :)
[05:39] <wanger> ha, sorry
[05:39] <kauer> javid: The symlinks problem is unlikely to be a problem with su itself. Can you give us more info? The solution (su) suggested by SlimeyPete is good...
[05:39] <jesson> i got used to windows where u just 2x clic it anyway im downloading it again from the termnal
[05:39] <Dougie> Jowi, I built the package with checkinstall and then it gives an error something about broken pipe? Let me pastebin it
[05:39] <Pici> neverblue: I'm not going to make a user jump through hoops just to get a logfile when you could have just repeated it.
[05:39] <neverblue> pringle, using any documentation for setting that up?
[05:39] <atxatx> neverblue, i don't follow, sorry newb here
[05:39] <fireglow26[SUST] > hi
[05:39] <neverblue> Pici, I dont like to repeat :)
[05:39] <Jowi> Dougie, ok. not sure i can help but i can have a look
[05:39] <serenityUK> Javid, if you want to just issue one command you need quotes like....   su username -c 'some command here'
[05:39] <neverblue> atxatx, means I cannot speak in the channel
[05:40] <fireglow26[SUST] > could i use a ubuntu desktop machine in order to use it sometimes as a server ?
[05:40] <nathan> now people don't have to repeat for me since I can read the logfile! And I tried in #irssi but no one answered
[05:40] <Pici> jesson: Its much better to install it from the repositories. That way if theres an upgrade, it gets updated automatically.
[05:40] <Pici> fireglow26[SUST] : Sure.
[05:40] <pringle> i was using beryl....I've uninstall it and I wanted to try Compiz...so im following instruction from the Compiz page
[05:40] <neverblue> good job nathan :)
[05:40] <nathan> thanks again I'm off to work!
[05:40] <Javid> root@sporkwieldingferret:/# su bacon -c 'xmms'
[05:40] <Javid> Unable to create symbolic link: File exists
[05:40] <Dougie> Jowi, ok....it seems to have worked the second time strange...
[05:40] <fireglow26[SUST] > cause i need a x-screen cause i am noob
[05:40] <pringle> mabye its because previously i was using envy?
[05:41] <MrMist> Hey guys
[05:41] <MrMist> I'm having big problems installing the server version of Feisty. The installation stops at 85%
[05:41] <MrMist> Any ideas why ?
[05:41] <kauer> javid: OK - the error message is telling you exactly what the problem is. Something in that command is trying to set a symlink, but the link it wants to create alreay exists. Often caused by reversing the parsm to "ln -s"....
[05:41] <atxatx> neverblue, you mean php channel right? anyway i just want to make sure php isn't killing my system resources, there are 10 instances of php-cgi in my system monitor
[05:41] <WaxyFresh> i need a link to a netboot floppy for xuuntu,please?
[05:41] <Jowi> Dougie, the only prob I've found so far with Checkinstall is that the version numbers may need to be modified in order for a install to succeed :)
[05:41] <jesson> yah its hard but i bought about linux already
[05:41] <jesson> a book*
[05:42] <fireglow26[SUST] > some howto how to use ubuntu like a webserver ?
[05:42] <Javid> just running xmms sets a symlink? x.x
[05:42] <neverblue> atxatx, you can see my posts in here (yes, the #php)
[05:42] <neverblue> fireglow26[SUST] , google 'ubuntu guide'
[05:42] <sipior> MrMist: any hint of what it was doing at that point?
[05:42] <fireglow26[SUST] > thx
[05:42] <kauer> javid: what is "bacon"? Is that a username?
[05:42] <Javid> yes
[05:42] <neverblue> fireglow26[SUST] , also, look at LAMP
[05:42] <Dougie> Jowi, one sec
[05:42] <MrMist> sipior: It says: installed php5-mysql
[05:43] <pringle> can some1 pls help me installing nvidia drivers
[05:43] <jesson> what better run webserver using the ubuntu server edition or run server under ubuntu destop??
[05:43] <pringle> i cant start x
[05:43] <gordonjcp> jesson: depends what you're trying to do
[05:43] <sipior> MrMist: is there a "details" tab you can open up on screen?
[05:43] <Dougie> Jowi, here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34809/
[05:43] <gordonjcp> jesson: if you want a "local" webserver for development, desktop is fine
[05:43] <jesson> i want to run a webserver and mail server
[05:43] <gordonjcp> jesson: if you want a server, install the server version
[05:43] <pringle> nvidia-xconfig wont do the trick eather....error loading nvidia module
[05:43] <pringle>
[05:43] <unics> is SSH server installed by default on ubuntu server 7.04 ?
[05:43] <Pici> jesson: Do you also want to use it as a desktop computer?
[05:44] <jesson> yah
[05:44] <RickJones> !java
[05:44] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[05:44] <Pici> jesson: Then ubuntu-desktop is better

[05:45] <Jowi> Dougie, you need to ./configure and make as normal before running checkinstall.
[05:45] <jesson> pici do i monitor and run my server using the terminal ?
[05:45] <serenityUK> pringle so you installed from nvidia web site?
[05:45] <w1relessm0nkey> unics, no the server needs to be installed... sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:45] <pringle> yes
[05:45] <Dougie> Jowi, oh ok
[05:45] <MrMist> sipior: Ah... luckily the setup program dumps messages to another terminal
[05:45] <WaxyFresh> i need a link to a netboot floppy for xuuntu,please?
[05:45] <pringle> and when i run nvidia-xconfig x wint start
[05:45] <Pici> jesson: You can do whatever you want.
[05:45] <unics> thank you w1relessm0nkey
[05:45] <MrMist> sipior: Seems the installation program tries to resulv norwegian servers, however they seem down
[05:45] <kauer> javid: I wnder if "xmms" is actually a script. Do "which xmms" and then check the file it returns...
[05:46] <serenityUK> pringle i think it is because you had old ubuntu drivers still on they need to be removed before you install from nv website
[05:46] <jesson> picci the dowloadng is done wat command do i run next?
[05:46] <Javid> /usr/bin/xmms
[05:46] <pringle> modprobe --show-depends nvidia
[05:46] <w1relessm0nkey> pringle, nvidia-xconfig has never worked for me, it's easier to install the drivers manually.
[05:46] <pringle> insmod /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko
[05:46] <pringle> install /sbin/lrm-video nvidia
[05:46] <RickJones> !java
[05:46] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[05:46] <sipior> MrMist: yes, a large part of Surfnet is down atm, that may be your trouble
[05:46] <Jowi> Dougie, so if you normally do "./configure --prefix=/usr" + "make" + "sudo make install" you now do "./configure --prefix=/usr" + "make" + "sudo checkinstall"
[05:46] <pringle> can u tell me how to do that
[05:46] <jesson> (Reading database ... 93184 files and directories currently installed.)
[05:46] <jesson> Unpacking wine (from .../wine_0.9.33-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
[05:46] <jesson> Setting up wine (0.9.33-0ubuntu1)
[05:46] <RickJones> i give up
[05:46] <MrMist> sipior: Any way I can get the setup program to use other servers?
[05:46] <RickJones> nothing wants to install java for me on feisty
[05:47] <kauer> javid: And what does "less /usr/bin/xmms" tell you - it it a binary?
[05:47] <serenityUK> pringle type   sudo apt-get remove nvidia*      then reinstall nvidia package like   sudo sh NVIDIAxxx.run
[05:47] <SlimeyPete> RickJones: you enaled universe/multiverse and told synaptic toinstall the sun-java6 packages?
[05:47] <SlimeyPete> *enabled
[05:47] <RickJones> yup
[05:47] <Javid> it's a binary
[05:47] <sipior> MrMist: you might try selecting a different location at the beginning, as i assume they choose servers based upon that information. play around, see what you can find.
[05:47] <MrMist> sipior: I get an error from security.ubuntu.com
[05:48] <unics> ps x
[05:48] <pringle> working.......a sec
[05:48] <unics> lol
[05:48] <w1relessm0nkey> pringle, download the appropriate driver from the nvidia website, save it to your home folder.  hit ctrl+alt+backspace to get to commandline. run sudo sh NVidiadrivername.sh
[05:48] <kauer> javid: Then check the profiles on bacon's account, maybe something odd is going on in .bashrc or similar.
[05:48] <serenityUK> well im using the 8800 drivers maybe old one are different
[05:48] <w1relessm0nkey> answer the appropriate questions, and you should be set.
[05:48] <sipior> MrMist: might want to wait a bit, till the network craziness dies down
[05:48] <unics> ok, how can i start openssh-server after installing ?
[05:48] <jesson> how do i know if i have the wine installed already??
[05:48] <Javid> you have it
[05:48] <w1relessm0nkey> unics, after installing it should start up automatically.
[05:48] <unics> ohh
[05:48] <Dougie> Jowi, ok this is not working...i installed netpbm using the checkinstall and it says its successful but then the app i'm trying to install that uses it as a dependancy says its not there
[05:48] <MrMist> sipior: Ehm... I've allready formatted the drive
[05:48] <unics> what's de default listening port ?
[05:49] <unics> the*
[05:49] <Javid> you should just be able to doubleclick on windows executables now
[05:49] <w1relessm0nkey> unics 22
[05:49] <kauer> unics: do "ps ax | grep sshd", you'll probably find it's already running.
[05:49] <kauer> unics: 22
[05:49] <sipior> MrMist: don't worry, it'll stay formatted :)
[05:49] <unics> ok, thank you :)
[05:49] <w1relessm0nkey> no problem, good luck
[05:49] <MrMist> sipior: ehm... but I want to use the PC
[05:49] <MrMist> argh
[05:49] <Jowi> Dougie, netpbm is already available

[05:50] <w1relessm0nkey> love the yakuake!
[05:50] <sipior> MrMist: well, you can boot from the live CD, or just try selecting another server set
[05:50] <Javid> hell yeah, that's the first thing I install
[05:50] <unics> and how can i start kde after installing ?
[05:50] <Jowi> Dougie, maybe the app you want to use need a different version of it. check the README or webpage or manual of the app you try to install.
[05:50] <kauer> javid: status on the symlinks prob?
[05:50] <Pici> unics: Did you install kubuntu-desktop?
[05:50] <Dougie> Jowi, is it the libnetpbm?
[05:51] <unics> Pici, yes
[05:51] <Pici> unics: then: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
[05:51] <Javid> well, the last thing you said exceeded the limits of my linux knowledge, so I'm basically stuck floundering
[05:51] <Jowi> Dougie, i don't know what you are looking for so I can't help further than this.
[05:51] <unics> Pici, is there a way to auto-start this when ubuntu starts up or does it already ?
[05:51] <Dougie> Jowi, its ok... there was an update for netpbm so i'm going to see if that helps
[05:52] <Pici> unics: It does it by default.
[05:52] <Jowi> Dougie, "apt-cache search netpbm" will list some packages you might or might not need.
[05:52] <unics> ok, thank you
[05:52] <Curs0r> so I got this python script from someone to reload my cube images, the problem is, unless the filenames change it won't refresh. What can I do about that?
[05:52] <Dougie> Jowi, yeah i did that
[05:52] <kauer> javid: Maybe it would help if you told us why you want to start an X program as a different user (or are you the user "bacon" on this system?).
[05:52] <Javid> I am bacon
[05:52] <vinicri> hi everybody
[05:52] <Curs0r> hi
[05:52] <Pici> !hi
[05:52] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:53] <Magaiver> aew
[05:53] <Pici> Curs0r: Might want to ask that in #python
[05:53] <vinicri> i'm trying to install build-essential through apt-get and i get the error message E: Couldn't find package build-essencial
[05:53] <Curs0r> Pici, actually I meant to ask in #compiz-fusion-dev ;)
[05:53] <vinicri> i'cant compile C source code with gcc
[05:53] <Pici> vinicri: Thats because its build-essential
[05:53] <jesson> why cant i extract zip file on my filesystem or hardrive?? all my extracted files are only allowed on destop help please
[05:54] <vinicri> i't missing the hearder files
[05:54] <Javid> kauer,  OK. I'm using TPB to catch hardware button inputs, and the config file gives me one line for the command to run. Ihave to sudo tpb for it to catch the inputs right, and I don't want everything running as root
[05:54] <vinicri> thx. what a shame.. sorry
[05:54] <Javid> !info tpb
[05:54] <ubotu> tpb: program to use the IBM ThinkPad(tm) special keys. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.6.4-2.2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 54 kB, installed size 264 kB (Only available for i386)
[05:54] <kauer> javid: Then why do you want to (as root) runn xmms as you? It seems a bit bass-ackward...
[05:54] <wolfsong> hi hopefully this will be an easy question...i modified xorg.conf to add another resolution but once i restart gnome i still don't see the option in the list of available resolutions...tried rebooting but that didn't work...any ideas?
[05:54] <kauer> javid: Sorry, crossed line. wait
[05:55] <jesson> why cant i extract zip file on my filesystem or hardrive?? all my extracted files are only allowed on destop help please
[05:55] <wanger> jesson: that questions all kinds of confusing, is your desktop not part of your filesystem or harddrive?
[05:55] <jesson> no i mean i cant extract them on bin usr folder
[05:55] <Pici> jesson: Where are you trying to extract the file?
[05:55] <jesson> or any other folder
[05:55] <Dr_willis> jesson,  clarify that a bit.
[05:55] <serenityUK> jesson, only root can do that
[05:55] <Dr_willis> jesson,  writing to those dirs. needs root priviliges.
[05:55] <jesson> how do i get root?
[05:55] <Pici> jesson: 1) You can only do that with sudo 2) Why would you want to do that, that sounds bad.
[05:56] <Dr_willis> oops wrong nick. :) sorry
[05:56] <Dr_willis> heh
[05:56] <GigaClon> jesson you should be able to extract in your home directory
[05:56] <Dr_willis> time to learn some linux basics.
[05:56] <wanger> serenityUK : ah nice catch =)
[05:56] <Pici> !sudo | jesson
[05:56] <jesson> how do i make my own folder then on my hardrve?
[05:56] <ubotu> jesson: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:56] <Pici> jesson: You have your own folder in /home
[05:56] <fyrestrtr> jesson: mkdir ~/somedir
[05:56] <jesson> let me look dont leave
[05:57] <vinicri> i'm trying to install postfix and it requests the 'db'. Where do i find it?
[05:57] <serenityUK> jesson, the folder in home with your name is like MyDocuments all your user files go in there
[05:58] <Jowi> jesson, your /home/username (and possibly /tmp) is the only folder you can write to by default without having higher privileges.
[05:58] <jesson> i C, now i have the downloaded exe program on my home folder under that i made a folder named bot how do i run the program inside the bot folder using wine??
[05:58] <ObeLisK_12183> Heey @ aLL
[05:58] <unics> any idea why i can't connect through SSH to my machine ?

[05:59] <luke> Anyone know how to fix java under feisty to allow Azureus, Frostwire and Limewire to work.

[06:00] <Pici> !postfix | vinicri have you read these
