[02:29] <kevin> thanks myr.. don't know what is up.. but its driving me crazy. I can connect just about to any site and its fine. But not ubuntu.
[02:29] <jrib> sanityx: set /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image to "splash/ubuntu-splash.png" in gconf-editor
[02:30] <Tom47> Smauf hmm dont know .... but usually you get that sort of error when you have nominated a file name suffix after the dot that is not recohgnised by gimp
[02:30] <sanityx> jrib, Thanks!
[02:30] <jrib> Tarkus: what kind of trouble?  What filesystem?
[02:30] <Clinton__> Testing 1 2 3, anyone see me or am I just being ignored outright?

[02:31] <jrib> !ntfs > Tarkus (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:31] <Clinton__> guess no one can help me tho since I've had no responses
[02:31] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - But I dont know where to start with k3b...
[02:31] <Clinton__> ajehuk: it isn't k3b specific
[02:31] <jrib> !patience > Clinton__ (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:31] <Clinton__> ajehuk: Ubuntu does *not* detect the blank cd in the drive
[02:31] <GrueTamer> darnit youre fast jrib :)
[02:31] <Smaug> Tom47: ya its really weird but i dont want to continue if i cant save
[02:31] <MSTK> jrib - can oleo edit xls files?
[02:31] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - hmm, hold on..
[02:32] <jrib> MSTK: I don't know, but did you catch my last message about "sc"?
[02:32] <Tom47> Smaug just type test in the file name and try saving that
[02:32] <someothernick> jrib: ty
[02:32] <MSTK> jrib - no, sorry, I didn't.  can you repeat it?
[02:32] <justme3> The "Disks" menu item is missing off of the System > Administration menu.  How do I get to "Disks"?
[02:32] <Smaug> Somehow it randomly worked now
[02:32] <jrib> MSTK: hmm oleo doesn't run in a terminal... but "sc" does seem to
[02:32] <vi0> jrib: got time for another one?
[02:32] <Smaug> but thanks for the help
[02:32] <MSTK> jrib - but I actually got oleo to run in a terminal.
[02:33] <jrib> vi0: just ask the channel
[02:33] <jrib> MSTK: ah ok, cool then
[02:33] <MSTK> jrib - oleo --nw ...but it doesn't seem to support .xls files.
[02:33] <jrib> justme3: it was dropped since edgy I believe (unmaintained)
[02:33] <vi0> ok, here goes nothing. how can i download the "restricted codecs"
[02:33] <simon_> hey, i know there is a lot going on right now.. but I'm having a problem using my wireless router WMP54G v2, with the Live CD
[02:33] <jrib> !restricted > vi0 (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:34] <simon_> wireless network adapter WMP54G v2**
[02:34] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - Does k3b list the drive?
[02:34] <fit4lfe> Need help with video display I have the drivers in but I have my box connected to a 56 in hd tv and I am getting over scanning
[02:34] <Clinton__> ajehuk: Nope
[02:34] <justme3> is there an equivalent "disks" function in Feisty? by another name, way, etc?
[02:34] <jrib> justme3: what do you want to do?
[02:34] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - can you read CD's?
[02:35] <sgtmattbaker> my mic isn't pickin up in Feisty
[02:35] <Clinton__> ajehuk: Yes
[02:35] <Punkunity> ajehuk yeah what is that crossover, sorry for the lag
[02:35] <sgtmattbaker> I have all the sound stuff unmuted and up but I am not gettin and response out of my mic
[02:36] <vandit2k7> hey guys can anybody help with ATI problems...please!!!
[02:36] <sgrove> hey all, I'm curious to start developing some graphical stuff for my GA/NN stuff
[02:36] <jrib> vandit2k7: what kind of problems?
[02:36] <sgrove> what would be a simple place to start on ubuntu, as I've only worked with game engines before?
[02:36] <sgrove> pygame seems nice, but I don't know python at all...I'd love to have something in c++, or better yet c#
[02:37] <fit4lfe> learn pyton
[02:37] <fit4lfe> python
[02:37] <justme3> I need to check my disks but don't know how, and fsck complains horribly that disk is mounted.  What should I do?
[02:37] <ajehuk> Punkunity - its a collection of scripts and wizards built on top of wine (AFAIK) that allows you to run windows applications (visio is a windows application) - both visio and crossover office are non-free, obviously.. allthough there is a trial of crossover available from their site.
[02:37] <Clinton__> ajehuk: are you as stumped as I am?
[02:37] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - not quite
[02:37] <sgrove> fit4lfe: ok, that's one option
[02:37] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - give me a moment though
[02:37] <sgrove> any others?
[02:37] <Clinton__> ajehuk: np
[02:37] <vandit2k7> allright
[02:37] <Blonde> Ok, so i'm a total newbie and have some issues with ubuntu and installing linux mce
[02:37] <drif> justme3: unmount it or atleast remount as read-only
[02:38] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - Have ou tried adding the device to k3b manually?
[02:38] <Blonde> am i in the right place to ask?
[02:38] <vandit2k7> jirib: my Xorg.0.log says that AGP failed..........
[02:38] <jrib> vandit2k7: pastebin it
[02:38] <Punkunity> ajehuk i pay for nothing, but i can get just about everything....
[02:38] <fit4lfe> can anyone help me now ?
[02:38] <vandit2k7> jirib: hold on a sec
[02:38] <Clinton__> ajehuk: Nope, one sec I'll give that a host (in the past it was always just there)
[02:38] <chump_> Blonde: yes i guess so ;)
[02:38] <fit4lfe> 56 in TV overscanning
[02:38] <Clinton__> ajehuk: host = shot
[02:38] <geokeratz_> Blonde dont ask to ask :) just ask
[02:38] <Blonde> i installed ubuntu, updated it alls well. then installed linux mce waited for all the stuff to load
[02:38] <Blonde> said it successfully installed and needs to be rebooted.
[02:38] <Blonde> now its stuck at the ubuntu start up thing, (orange horizontal bar)
[02:39] <Punkunity> so what does it all do ajehuk graphical design?? and when you close wine wont you lose your project data?
[02:39] <Netboy541> anyone successfully got ubuntu to talk to AD without ripping your hair out??
[02:39] <Clinton__> ajehuk: the device is listed - but it says that no medium is present despite the fact that a blank cd in present
[02:39] <fit4lfe> mce won't install on feisty
[02:39] <yetiman> leave
[02:39] <fit4lfe> unless they upgraded it now
[02:39] <vi0> jrib: thanks buddy :)
[02:39] <sgrove> I'd like to hear a bit to make sure that it's worth my time - is pygame the best way to go for developing simple graphical apps on ubuntu?
[02:39] <Blonde> any  ideas what i should do?
[02:39] <vandit2k7> jirib: in which directory is Xorg.0.log
[02:39] <vandit2k7> I forgot
[02:39] <fit4lfe> get dapper instead
[02:40] <jrib> vandit2k7: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:40] <sethk> vandit2k7, /var/log
[02:40] <vandit2k7> ok thanks
[02:40] <geokeratz_> haha I don;t know what mce is   :(
[02:40] <Blonde> media center
[02:40] <Blonde> lol
[02:40] <fit4lfe> linuxmce right
[02:40] <ajehuk> Punkunity - Ah I pay for both, as for how it works, crossover handles everything, and it works exactly as it would in windows, i.e. you open the application, save your work, open existing files etc.. crossover basically allows you to install windows applications to our machine and use them as if they were native applications (mostly) but hey, most of the Linux applications out there are better than the MS and Windows stuff, so I only u
[02:40] <fit4lfe> I tried it on dapper didn't work for me
[02:40] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - hmm
[02:41] <vi0> when using vlc and other application, the video tends to dissapear upon loading/moving the window or when going full-screen im using feisty with open source drivers and compiz
[02:41] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - stupid question - it is listed as a 'writer device' not a read only one?
[02:41] <Flapp> hi
[02:41] <robert98374> hello
[02:41] <PiNE> my cursor is really jumpy... has anyone else experienced this?  how would i fix it?
[02:41] <kermitus> anyone in here pretty good with XAMPP??
[02:41] <Flapp> im having the weirdest problem
[02:41] <Clinton__> ajehuk: it doesn't say either way
[02:41] <geokeratz_> I m the noob here , i have a soundcard SCOPE fusion platform from Creamware  so ...I cant make it work in Ubuntu
[02:41] <vandit2k7> jirib: hold on I'll give u the link soon
[02:42] <Flapp> kermitus, im kind, shoot
[02:42] <Flannel> kermitus: just install normal LAMP.  There's no real reason to use XAMPP on Linux
[02:42] <orbin> Blonde: not sure how mce works.  do you still see grub (the opertaing system choice menu) at bootup?
[02:42] <simon_> Clinton__: I have had some problems myself (Win XP) with CD drive not picking up CD-Rs but I was able to read CDs and write CD-RW
[02:42] <kermitus> Flapp: i am getting - /opt/lampp$ /opt/lampp/bin/mysql.server: 84: source: not found - MySql does start and seems to work still.. have you seen this before?
[02:42] <Clinton__> ajehuk: Ah, however, it does list it as a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM device in Places->Computer and not CD-RW
[02:42] <geokeratz_> too special to work in LInux
[02:42] <sethk> PiNE, that's usually caused by using the wrong mouse driver in xorg.conf
[02:42] <vandit2k7> jirib: http://www.pastebin.ca/470010
[02:42] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - they should be listed under groups (if you, like me have more than one, marked as Readonly Devices and Writer Devices, just above the Device Name
[02:42] <Flapp> that is odd
[02:42] <kermitus> yeah it is
[02:43] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - can you give me the make and model?
[02:43] <Flannel> kermitus: like I said, just install the real LAMP stack.
[02:43] <Blonde> orbin i'm not sure
[02:43] <kermitus> Flannel: cant I am useing a book that requires that i use XAMPP
[02:43] <orbin> !sound > geokeratz_ (read pm from ubotu)
[02:43] <Blonde> does it always come up
[02:43] <Clinton__> ajehuk: Philips DVD-ROM DROM6316
[02:43] <Blonde> or do i have to hit a key to make it come up
[02:43] <simon_> I'm having a problem using my wireless card (PCI) WMP54G v2, with the Live CD
[02:43] <Flannel> kermitus: Get a better book then, since that one's rubbish
[02:44] <orbin> Blonde: right before the "orange bar"  what do you see?
[02:44] <kermitus> Flannel: lol sorry i dont work that way.. i fix problems..
[02:44] <kermitus> Flapp: thanks though.. just woundering
[02:44] <Punkunity> ajehuk but what if you close wine?
[02:44] <Wriest> I just installed Xubuntu and I can't get my sound to work?
[02:45] <ajehuk> Clinton__ is that a RW device?? google thinks its a ROM..
[02:45] <Pelo> !sound > Wriest  check your pm windows for instructions
[02:45] <fit4lfe> did you install the alsa drivers
[02:45] <Clinton__> ajehuk: it is CD-RW yes, and yes I've burned many CD's on it previous to installing Feisty (WinXP and Gentoo)
[02:45] <PiNE> sethk, how would i find out what driver to use?
[02:46] <kekles> hey everybody is it possible to change the color of the text in the application launcher on the ubuntu system panel?
[02:46] <ajehuk> Punkunity : you dont close wine... crossover handles it in the background, i.e. when you open visio, wine is started, when you close visio wine is stopped, the data is stored in your home directory, so whether wine is running or not makes no diference
[02:46] <sethk> PiNE, what mouse?
[02:46] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - thought Id best check :) - is it SATA?
[02:46] <vandit2k7> jirib: did you look
[02:46] <fit4lfe> has anyone got linuxmce to work ?
[02:46] <Clinton__> ajehuk: Not quite familiar with SATA, but I believe it all works through PCI
[02:46] <fit4lfe> such a cool project
[02:47] <simon_> PCI?
[02:47] <Clinton__> <-- not a hardware junkie
[02:47] <PiNE> sethk, synaptic touchpad
[02:47] <simon_> If its not SATA my guess would be IDE
[02:47] <fit4lfe> sata is sata serial ata
[02:47] <PiNE> sethk, on a toshiba satellite
[02:47] <fit4lfe> IDE
[02:48] <kekles> is it possible to change the color of the menus on the ubuntu system panel
[02:48] <kekles> ?
[02:48] <BetaCookies> Hey
[02:48] <fit4lfe> ubuntu works with sata
[02:48] <Clinton__> ah yes I see IDE in the lspci as well
[02:48] <sethk> PiNE, can you paste the mouse config from your xorg.conf?
[02:48] <Sivart1> how do i mount my ntfs drive read/write?
[02:48] <asherZ> hi i have a 1600dpi mouse and used the cmd xset m 0 0 to disable mouse accel. but what is the cmd to change sensitivity because i have it on lowest in System> Mouse> Motion> Speed
[02:48] <sethk> PiNE, or just paste the entire xorg.conf
[02:48] <asherZ> and its too fast
[02:48] <PiNE> sethk, yep... it will take me a second.
[02:48] <BetaCookies> Anyone know how to change the screen DPI? It doesn't change when I change it in the Xorg config, it doesn't change when I change it in the gnome config tool for it.. so I'm out of ideas.. I also tried changing it in the gdm config, but no luck
[02:48] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - Hmm, OK then lets start at the beginning... could you install cdrecord? (sudo apt-get install cdrecord)
[02:49] <Tarkus> jrib: alright, i used those instructions. and it mounted it in '/media/hda1' but theres is nothing in there. and the free space that it says is half of the total space.
[02:49] <Pelo> Clinton__,  no need to be a hardware junky,  sata drives are what you are likely to be sold in a new comp these days,    easy way to tell,   IDE drives have those  2 inch straps to plug them in  Sata have a little half inch flat cable
[02:49] <fit4lfe> need help with 56in hdtv display settings
[02:49] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - if not already installed of course..
[02:49] <fit4lfe> I get overscann
[02:49] <vandit2k7> jrib: did you get the link
[02:49] <Clinton__> ajehuk: yup, cdrecord is already installed, I'm going through the man page trying to figure out how to manually burn it, but its a long man
[02:49] <vandit2k7> jrib: what do you think
[02:49] <bluedog> fit4lfe - you are going to need to send that tv to me
[02:49] <Blonde> orbin: still there?
[02:49] <fit4lfe> lol
[02:49] <sethk> Clinton__, usually it's just cdrecord iso-file-name
[02:49] <fit4lfe> funny like clown funny
[02:50] <bluedog> when I get it working I promise to send it back
[02:50] <Pelo> fit4lfe,  you seem to understand yor problem , I suggest you try looking in the forum
[02:50] <harry_> does software installed with Automatix show up in Synaptic? {I'm uninstalling it}
[02:50] <atari2600a> hey
[02:50] <sethk> Clinton__, I use cdrecord -vv iso-file-name.   the dash v v makes it print lots of info while it's burning
[02:50] <ajehuk> Clinton__ can you do a 'sudo cdrecord -scanbus' and drop the output into a pastebin?
[02:50] <fit4lfe> Clinton__  what app you using to burn
[02:50] <atari2600a> can anyone here help me pw/ gparted?

[02:51] <Blonde> ok i hit esc key to bring me to a menu
[02:51] <Tarkus> jrib: and i also tried cd'ing to the mount point and typing 'ls' still nothing.
[02:51] <jrib> Tarkus: is there supposed to be stuff there?  How big is it?
[02:51] <Clinton__> it definately lists it as ROM
[02:51] <Blonde> that was the only option before orange bar
[02:51] <IgorSobreira> anybody knows how can i get the w32codecs in apt-get?
[02:51] <jrib> !w32codecs > IgorSobreira (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:51] <Tarkus> jrib: its suppossed to be full of music.
[02:51] <fit4lfe> you have to enable backports to get w32 codecs
[02:51] <lethu> asherZ, you may need to install "xset" though
[02:52] <Blonde> that brought me to a menu to choose generic
[02:52] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - ta - give me a moment
[02:52] <asherZ> lethu: u have 1600dpi mouse also? does this disable accel?
[02:52] <Tarkus> jrib: like more than 75% full, and all music.
[02:52] <Blonde> recovery mode
[02:52] <jrib> fit4lfe: backports don't have w32codecs
[02:52] <asherZ> lethu: how do i inst xset?

[02:53] <sethk> PiNE, the config looks correct
[02:53] <lethu> asherZ, search through Synaptic
[02:53] <vandit2k7> Hey geys can anyone really help me with AGP problem
[02:53] <Pelo> atari2600a, and what format are these partitons do you knwo ?
[02:53] <atari2600a> I actually installed x-chat, I'm still on the livecd
[02:53] <asherZ> lethu: ok
[02:53] <asherZ> lethu: thanks
[02:53] <jrib> vandit2k7: when you ask your question, include the pastebin
[02:53] <atari2600a> 2 FAT, 2 NTSC
[02:53] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - have you got an iso handy to try and burn?
[02:53] <atari2600a> I plan to remove one of the NTSC
[02:53] <vandit2k7> jrib: thanks
[02:53] <orbin> Blonde: that's ok.  and yes, try and keep everything on one line.  as you can see the channel moves very fast.  ok, at that menu, at the bottom it'll say press e to edit.
[02:53] <lethu> asherZ, you are welcome
[02:53] <Pelo> atari2600a, please use my nick when you talk to me
[02:54] <Clinton__> ajehuk: yup
[02:54] <sethk> PiNE, it's a complex configuration.  I wonder if the wacom stuff is stepping on the touchpad stuff.

[02:54] <Tarkus> jrib: so i type '-sh /media/hda1'
[02:54] <sethk> PiNE, first thing I'd try is changing the protocol.  I'll have to look up what you can change it to.  google for xorg and synaptics and protocol, and see what appears.
[02:54] <simon_> BetaCookies: well I want to test it out before I go through the trouble of setting up a partition and everything. Would i be able to install drivers or whatever is needed from my flash drive?
[02:55] <jrib> Tarkus: no:  du -sh /media/hda1 .  What version of ubuntu is this btw?
[02:55] <Pelo> atari2600a, is it a sata or IDE HDD ?
[02:55] <Blonde> Orbin: yea i saw that and hit "e"

[02:55] <atari2600a> pelo, I believe IDE
[02:55] <Cerda> why my ubuntu creates an eth0:avah? i cant connect to internet because of that
[02:55] <orbin> Blonde: press it once, then the screen will change.  you'll see a few lines, one beginning with the word 'kernel'.  higlight it with the arrow keys, then press e again.
[02:55] <Pelo> atari2600a, ok probably IDE
[02:55] <sethk> PiNE, good idea
[02:55] <PiNE> sethk, and i'll google that stuff right now!
[02:55] <Pelo> atari2600a, when gparted is opened do you have any drive listed ?
[02:55] <jrib> Tarkus: weird, I thought everything showed up as /dev/sd* in 7.04
[02:56] <sethk> atari2600a, try running   fdisk -l /dev/hda  (assuming it's your primary master drive)
[02:56] <PiNE> sethk, what is wacom?
[02:56] <atari2600a> pelo, yes, & it says 55gb of unpartitioned space
[02:56] <sethk> PiNE, tablet
[02:56] <Tarkus> jrib: yea, my main drive does, but this one is an IDE drive. not S-ATA
[02:56] <Pelo> atari2600a,  try sethk 's suggestion
[02:56] <atari2600a> pelo, someone from another channel (whom I know) is suggesting pfdisk
[02:56] <atari2600a> pelo, what's the difference?
[02:56] <Tarkus> jrib: ok, it says 4.0K     /media/hda1
[02:56] <orbin> Blonde: that'll let you edit boot options for that sessions (each time you reboot it will revert to the original.  what you want to once you're editing that line is to go to the end with the arrow keys, and delete the word 'splash' from the end.
[02:56] <Pelo> atari2600a, I don't readily know
[02:57] <PiNE> sethk, well, thanks for the help.
[02:57] <vandit2k7> Hi guys can anybody help with AGP problem and ATI card....here's the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19063/
[02:57] <sethk> atari2600a, there are several, fdisk, sfdisk, etc.  fdisk is the primary one, or at least the oldest.  some people find it hard to use.  however, for a list, which is what you want to start with here, fdisk is easy
[02:57] <jrib> Tarkus: ok, so that says there is nothing on the drive, ignore what you got with "Properties".  You are positive there is not another device that can correspond to this disk?
[02:57] <RobbieCrash> If I upgrade to Feisty, will it automatically update my drivers to the new ones that kill my xorg?
[02:57] <RobbieCrash> The new nvidia drivers that is
[02:57] <ajehuk> in that case do a 'sudo cdrecord -v pad speed=1 dev=1,0,0 whatever.iso' where whatever.iso is the full path to your image, I think the dev=1,0,0 is right based on the output of cdrecord -scanbus..
[02:57] <pianoboy3333> Can anyone help me, I'm in an xubuntu live cd, and I'd like to record something, but I can't seem to raise my capture level, or switch my input source to front, a little help anyone?
[02:57] <jrib> Tarkus: libata should make everything show up as /dev/sd* afaik
[02:58] <arconte> cedega has a regedit like windows?
[02:58] <ajehuk> Clinton__ :in that case do a 'sudo cdrecord -v pad speed=1 dev=1,0,0 whatever.iso' where whatever.iso is the full path to your image, I think the dev=1,0,0 is right based on the output of cdrecord -scanbus..
[02:58] <atari2600a> pelo, sethk, what's the -l switch do?
[02:58] <sethk> atari2600a, list.   it lists the partitions on the drive
[02:58] <Clinton__> ajehuk: there, got cdrecord to attempt to record, but it insists the drive is RO.. Im' baffled.
[02:59] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - me too, I assume the media is good?
[02:59] <sethk> atari2600a, if it works correctly, you'll see one line for each partition, you said two fat, and two something else which I don't remember, so you should see four lines, plus some summary lines at the top.
[02:59] <orbin> Blonde: once you've done that, press enter, then press b to boot (i think) ... now, instead of the orange bar, you'll see what's happening in the background (scrolling text).  this should hopefully give you an idea of where the boot process is stopping.
[02:59] <Blonde> Orbin: it reads "grub edit> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro single" no "splash"
[02:59] <Dremth> Does anyone know the name of a virtual environment that can run windows in linux? I forgot the name of it but I know that it starts with a 'q'
[02:59] <Clinton__> ajehuk: Yup, I got out an old dusty laptop and booted that up and tested a burn
[02:59] <atari2600a> sethk, I'm getting nothing
[03:00] <atari2600a> sethk, fresh line on the terminal window right after the previous is executed
[03:00] <pianoboy3333> Can anyone help me, I'm in an xubuntu live cd, and I'd like to record something, but I can't seem to raise my capture level, or switch my input source to front, a little help anyone?
[03:00] <Clinton__> ajehuk: All I can think of is device failure, good thing I have extra cd-rw drives
[03:01] <orbin> Blonde: hmm, well you shouldn't be getting the orange bar (usplash) then. :-/
[03:01] <Blonde> hmm
[03:01] <jrib> Tarkus: oh, I have a better question.  Are you sure it is mounted?  Type 'mount' and pastebin the output
[03:01] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - Strange, I cant seem to find anyone else complaining in any forums etc about that drive, and you'd think there'd be one.  I have never had a problem with recording CD's with linux either, even on my old sattelite pro with an external pcmcia + scsi cdrw (4x I think).  Could well be a device failure, but youd think it either 1) would just not burn, or 2) Not work at all..
[03:01] <simon_> Can anyone help me with my wireless card?
[03:02] <Dremth> simon_, what version of ubuntu?
[03:02] <ajehuk> Clinton__ - Ah well thats me out. Good luck

[03:02] <orbin> Blonde: unless there is nothing actually wrong with the boot process and that's actually mce booting up.

[03:03] <z0rz> I'm trying to configure an onboard nvidia video chipset but I can't get xorg.conf back to it's "auto-detect" "default" setting.  When I startx it just says no screens found.. I think it has something to do with the BusID being wrong (but I don't know what it is (lspci says something like 0:05.0 but BusID is listed as PCI:1:0:0)) How do I get my nv card working again?
[03:03] <atari2600a> sethk, I tried using cfdisk, & it was giving me "fatal error:  Cannot open disk drive"

[03:04] <RobbieCrash> you're welcome
[03:04] <Dremth> simon_, assuming that's also a yes to your version being 7.04, have you tried using ndiswrapper?
[03:04] <simon_> Dremth: i'll double check on the version
[03:04] <orbin> Blonde: let me double-check my own grub.  brb.
[03:04] <Smaug> ajehuk: ?
[03:04] <Blonde> k thanks
[03:05] <simon_> Dremth: its 6.06
[03:05] <MajorPayne> The spell check option is grayed out in Evolution.  Does anyone know how I can de-gray it?
[03:06] <Dremth> simon_, I suggest updating to 7.04. When I updated my wireless starting working out of nowhere.
[03:06] <jrib> Tarkus: do you know what you have to do?
[03:06] <Dremth> simon_, IF that doesn't work, try using ndiswrapper
[03:06] <Tarkus> jrib: no clue
[03:07] <jrib> Tarkus: how did you attempt to mount it before?  (Did you use the "mount" command directly or edit fstab)
[03:07] <MajorPayne> The spell check option is grayed out in Evolution.  Does anyone know how I can de-gray it?
[03:07] <simon_> Dremth: ok, thanks. Is there a separate page for Live CDs?
[03:07] <ward_> i can't get x to work on my laptop screen, external screen works          xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19055/          xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19064/
[03:07] <phy3> test    phy
[03:07] <z0rz> How do I find out the correct BusID for an onboard nvidia video card? lspci says something like 0:5:0, but I don't know how to convert that to a BusID in xorg.conf.. Anyone?
[03:08] <Cerda> anyone has experienced problems with eht0:avah ???
[03:08] <ward_> anyone have an idea what might be wrong?
[03:08] <ajehuk> z0rz : lspci -X used to do that for you, not sure if it still does...
[03:08] <fit4lfe> yeah mine was 3.0
[03:08] <Dremth> simon_, Just go here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download  and download 7.04 and burn to a cd
[03:08] <fit4lfe> for busid
[03:08] <fit4lfe> you can try that
[03:09] <fit4lfe> I also have nvidia card
[03:09] <knapp> hello, I am having trouble with nvidia, what channel should I be in?
[03:09] <fit4lfe> depends what distro
[03:09] <Tarkus> jrib: you sent me a link to a scirpt on ubuntu's website. so i used that
[03:09] <knapp> ubuntu
[03:09] <fit4lfe> whats the problem
[03:09] <orbin> Blonde: not sure how usplash could be appearing.  can you successfully boot into recovery mode?
[03:10] <knapp> failed to initialize nvidia kernel module, I've had this problem like 10 times before, but cant remember how to fix it
[03:10] <alliantdevil> has anyone just recently gotten pakage manager errors?
[03:10] <jrib> Tarkus: ah ok, pastebin output of this please:  cat /etc/fstab && sudo fdisk -l
[03:10] <ekidd_> Is there a good Ubuntu wlan-ng tutorial/troubleshooting guide? I've been Googling for an hour and haven't found anything particularly helpful.
[03:10] <fit4lfe> sounds like you have the wrong kernel
[03:10] <knapp> how can I fix it?
[03:10] <Blonde> orbin: i'll check
[03:10] <knapp> I've tried removing and readding it
[03:10] <fit4lfe> what card do you have
[03:10] <fit4lfe> and what version of ubuntu you running
[03:10] <Blonde> orbin: -10 or -11?
[03:11] <knapp> 7.01
[03:11] <ward_> ekidd_ what goes wrong?
[03:11] <orbin> Blonde: -11 would be best
[03:11] <fit4lfe> what kind of card
[03:11] <fit4lfe> the version
[03:11] <knapp> 6800
[03:11] <orbin> Blonde: do both -10 and -11 freeze for you btw?
[03:11] <ajehuk> z0rz - although I would asume that 00:06.0 woupd be PCI:0:0:6 or AGP:0:0:6 | 00:60.0 becomes PCI:0:6:0 | 06:00.0 becomes PCI 6:0:0 <- although someone else please correct me if I am wrong
[03:12] <ekidd_> ward_: It claims to be able to see the access point, but it times out running DHCP. There's WEP involved.
[03:12] <fsckr> what program do you use to make your desktop be your terminal?
[03:12] <fsckr> hope you know what i mean
[03:12] <ward_> i can't get x to work on my laptop screen, with an external screen works fine, can anyone take a look, please?          xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19055/    xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19064/
[03:12] <robert98374> anyone have any tips on where to learn how to use the terminal?
[03:13] <Blonde> orbin: lol i didn't know i had 2 different ones. nor do i know the difference.  recovery mode is still trying to boot
[03:14] <Dremth> Does anyone know of something to emulate my windows operating system in Ubuntu? I've tried Xen but I can't get it to work
[03:14] <knapp> hmm, who was the one I was just talking with? I can't tell in this irssi
[03:14] <Blonde> orbin: seems to be stuck at the setting up console front and keymap... any idea what that is or if its supposed to take a long time?
[03:14] <wastrel> !cli | robert98374
[03:14] <alliantdevil> i seem to be having some trouble with the package manager....i keep getting an error of "invalid record in the prefrences file, no package header"
[03:14] <alliantdevil> except i havent changed anything recently
[03:15] <simon_> Dremth: sorry.. i have one more question, is there a torrent listed on that page or do i have to search for one?
[03:15] <knapp> I'm getting "Failed to load nvidia kernel module", 6800, ubuntu feisty
[03:15] <ajehuk> ward_ - I'm looking...
[03:15] <robert98374> wastrel what?
[03:15] <telejedi> ahoi
[03:15] <ward_> ajehuk, thanx
[03:15] <ajehuk> ward_ - is it a Table pc?
[03:15] <ajehuk> *tablet
[03:15] <wastrel>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[03:16] <ward_> ajehuk, nope, regular, and my internal screen really is 1600x1200
[03:16] <ajehuk> ward - OK I've got a possible solution for you...
[03:16] <knapp> anyone have a suggestion?
[03:16] <orbin> Blonde: well i can assume what it means.  was it front or font?  ... and no, i don't think it takes long.  if it's just stopping there, you might have an issue.
[03:16] <MSTK> does anyone know of a CLI calendar program that supports ICAL syncing?
[03:16] <ajehuk> ward_ - actually no - cancel that, give me a moment
[03:17] <wastrel> MSTK:  there's not a good one
[03:17] <Blonde> orbin: font excuse me
[03:17] <orbin> Blonde: you have two different kernel images too boot from -10 is older.  you probably got -11 in an upgrade.  have you tried booting from both?
[03:17] <Dremth> simon_, I'm assuming you would like an x86 version?
[03:17] <Jove`> Dremth: Try VitualBox
[03:17] <knapp> I'm getting "Failed to load nvidia kernel module", 6800, ubuntu feisty
[03:17] <Jove`> Dremth: Try Virtualbox even
[03:17] <ward_> ajehuk, no prob, take your time :-)
[03:17] <simon_> Dremth: yes
[03:17] <orbin> Blonde: i.e. i'm assuming -11 is the one that's freezing.  tried -10?
[03:18] <Blonde> Orbin: i'll try it now
[03:18] <Dremth> simon_, Here's the link to the torrent: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[03:18] <simon_> Dremth: thanks a lot :)
[03:18] <z0rz> Hmm
[03:19] <Dremth> simon_, If that's still not what you're looking for then here's a list of all the files for this release: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/    < Just scroll towards the bottom
[03:19] <Dremth> simon_, You're very welcome!
[03:19] <pike_> looking for link or advise on using old ata drivers in fiesty. hd performace (while ok) is almost half what it was. what should i blacklist and what should i put in /etc/modules ?
[03:19] <z0rz> If I set the BusID in xorg.conf to PCI:0:5:0, startx will run and I'll hear the start up and I have a mouse, all at my resolution.  Problem is, the screen is all garbled and I can't se anything but dots (my mouse cursor works fine though)  Any ideas?
[03:19] <ajehuk> ward_ take a look at assuming you would like an x86 version?
 Dremth: Try VitualBox
[03:20] <ajehuk> whoops
[03:20] <jordan> hey guys, im having some real problems.. I installed xubuntu-desktop in order to get xfce for one of my users, yet now my login screen is xfce, without a xmdcp option.  I need that option, or preferably the GDM login, how would I do that?
[03:20] <ward_> ajehuk, i don't understand what u're saying
[03:20] <matrix__> hi, does anybody have a joost invitation?
[03:20] <ajehuk> ward_ take a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19065/
[03:20] <simon_> Dremth: I can boot from the CD right? and if I can, than that is all :)
[03:20] <Blonde> orbin: i think -10 is freezing up at the same point, unless it just takes a long time.  what do u think that font thing is?
[03:20] <ward_> ajehuk, ok
[03:20] <jordan> matrix__ joost is open now, or at least unlimited invites
[03:20] <Dremth> simon_, Yep
[03:21] <matrix__> jordan:  so would you be so kind to invite me?
[03:21] <jordan> matrix__ can you help me with my problem?
[03:21] <Dremth> ajehuk, I saw his post. Thank you ajehuk and Jove`
[03:21] <Dremth> ajehuk, I was afk sorry
[03:21] <RobbieCrash> If I upgrade to Feisty, will it automatically update my drivers to the new nvidia ones that kill my xorg?
[03:22] <simon_> Dremth: Awesome, thanks again, now I just have to squeeze as much as possible out of my connection.
[03:22] <ward_> ajehuk, i'm on it but could you explain what it does? i'm a noob
[03:22] <Dremth> simon_, :)
[03:22] <matrix__> jordan: if i would know what xmdcp option is? i only know that the login depends on wheather i use kdm odr gdm
[03:23] <jordan> matrix__ well how do I make my login screen GDM
[03:23] <jordan> matrix__ instead of xfce
[03:23] <Dremth> ByeByes all!
[03:23] <matrix__> jordan: did you try dpkg-reconfigure gdm?
[03:23] <knapp> Hi, I'm getting "Failed to load Nvidia kernel module" 6800GT UBUNTU FEISTY
[03:23] <robert98374> anyone have any tips on where to learn how to use the terminal?
[03:23] <jordan> matrix__ yes
[03:24] <jordan> matrix__ do I need to restart after that?  I think I did, but i definately logged out / restarted X
[03:24] <matrix__> jordan: try it
[03:24] <fsbp> hello, serisous sudo problems
[03:24] <jordan> matrix__ ok
[03:24] <knapp> Hi, I'm getting "Failed to load Nvidia kernel module" 6800GT UBUNTU FEISTY
[03:24] <orbin> Blonde: not sure on what exactly it means, sorry.  are you running feisty?
[03:24] <matrix__> jordan: sorry didn't pay to much attenion to the look of the login
[03:25] <Blonde> orbin: i dont think so
[03:25] <ajehuk> hello fsdp, anything in particular?
[03:25] <ajehuk> hello fsbp, anything in particular?
[03:25] <fsbp> ty ajehuk: it's talking about the sudo "mode"
[03:25] <Blonde> orbin: well thanks for your help
[03:25] <megaqwerty> I'm trying to upgrade an Edgy box to Feisty but I'm getting this error: http://megaqwerty.pastebin.ca/470074 Any ideas?
[03:26] <ajehuk> fsbp, could you be more specific?
[03:26] <fsbp> ajehuk: it says it's on 0666 and should be on 0440, what does that mean?
[03:27] <fsbp> ajehuk, it also says, at the beggining something like: /etc/sudoers
[03:27] <ajehuk> fsbp, they look like octal file permissions, does it say what its in relation too
[03:27] <AngryElf> Anyone know why I can't drag and drop a theme that i downloaded from gnome-look.org into my themes???? it keep saying invalid file format
[03:27] <ward_> ajehuk, sorry, x starts, my fault, but my screen is unreadable, only a few vertical stripes from one pixer wide or so
[03:27] <jordan> matrix__ restart = no help
[03:27] <asherZ> hey how do i disable computer bleep on error
[03:27] <BetaCookies> AngryElf are you dragging the tar.gz file into it?
[03:27] <asherZ> in fiesty
[03:27] <AngryElf> BetaCookies, yes
[03:27] <jordan> matrix__ by the way, any idea how to send joost invites?
[03:27] <orbin> Blonde: if you got clean boots *before* installing lmce.  i suggest going to their support options.
[03:27] <fsbp> ajehuk: whenever i type sudo in the console, with nothing or anything after it
[03:28] <AngryElf> BetaCookies, GTK 2.x is okay?
[03:28] <ajehuk> fsbp - Ah, I think that the permissions on your /etc/sudoers file is wrong.. - ask someone in here to tell you what it should be and then change it to match
[03:28] <sgtmattbaker> can anyone help me setup gnucash so I can do online banking?  I don't think the standard gnucash from the repos has that functionality out of the box
[03:28] <matrix__> jordan: no, i am currently wondering if it works under linux at all?
[03:28] <ajehuk> ward_ : Ah, gotcha
[03:28] <jordan> matrix__ not in wine, well very limited
[03:28] <BetaCookies> AngryElf I'm still new to Gnome, don't ask me :oP
[03:28] <fsbp> ajehuk: yeah, i was messing with some permissions
[03:28] <matrix__> jordan: perhaps you need an email to send
[03:28] <megaqwerty> I'm trying to upgrade an Edgy box to Feisty but I'm getting this error: http://megaqwerty.pastebin.ca/470074 Any ideas?
[03:28] <GrueTamer> ubuntu should have all the permissions right from the getgo
[03:28] <matrix__> jordan: is joost an standalone application or do you watch in your browser? is ist p2p??
[03:28] <ward_> ajehuk, sorry i explained wrong
[03:29] <GrueTamer> so now, we need to get those permissions to the way they were
[03:29] <jordan> matrix__ stand alone / p2p
[03:29] <fsbp> gt (hello btw): where can i find this
[03:29] <ajehuk> fsbp - you'll have to change them back then.... I assume (I dont use sudo..) that sudo needs its permissions file /etc/sudoers to be protected for it to work...
[03:29] <matrix__> jordan:  oh i see. just opend the wiki entry
[03:29] <fsbp> aight, ill go private with gt and we'll talk
[03:30] <matrix__> jordan: should be a way to run it in linux if it runs on mac
[03:30] <jordan> matrix__ I cant open windows now for opening joost if the invite is in there
[03:30] <jordan> matrix__ whats your email, ill send it asap
[03:30] <ward_> ajehuk, also my nickname is not registerred (will do some time) so i cant send private messages
[03:31] <ajehuk> ward_ nah, I should have asked, - good news tho - I suggest you add some lower resolution modes to the Screen section to see if that helps at all, a good start would be 1280x1024, just add it after "1600x1200", so the line becomes Modes    "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" or similar,
[03:31] <matrix__> jordan: can you open a dcc chat?
[03:31] <ward_> ajehuk, will try that
[03:32] <fsbp> and can someone help me with my secure wlan? it's not working either
[03:33] <fsbp> hello?
[03:33] <tschaka> heelo
[03:33] <fsbp> can someone help me with my secure wlan? it's not working either
[03:33] <tschaka> no wpa i guess?
[03:33] <fsbp> ummmmmmm
[03:33] <fsbp> *laught nervously*
[03:33] <fsbp> i'm such a noob
[03:34] <tschaka> :) np at all
[03:34] <fsbp> i forgot that
[03:34] <fsbp> just a noob at linux though
[03:34] <harry_> if I have a folder, can I see a log of the last reads/writes for that folder
[03:34] <Trini_Ma1> hi everyone
[03:34] <ash_> asherZ: test
[03:34] <MindOfChaos_> just a noob
[03:34] <tschaka> so try to explain ur problem im trying to help :)
[03:34] <Trini_Ma1> what program can i use to view my TV tuner ?
[03:34] <fr0nk> is there any way to disable the annoying "mark something with your mouse and it is in your clipboard"-behaviour?
[03:34] <matrix__> are there any p2p or iptv tv apps working with ubuntu?
[03:34] <ash_> asherZ: test
[03:35] <tschaka> Trini_Ma1 errr dvb or analog tv?
[03:35] <jordan> anyone?  how to change default login managers? or.. erase the xubuntu-desktop one
[03:35] <fr0nk> because when i start firefox i go to the adress bar, press ctrl+a and hit del
[03:35] <ward_> ajehuk, i'll let u know if it worked, need to reboot, brb
[03:35] <fsbp> tschaka: it's detecting the wifi card and the wireless network, but when i type in the password and submit, nothing happens
[03:35] <ajehuk> ward_ you dont...
[03:35] <knapp_> What channel do I need to be in for help with Ubuntu/Nvidia
[03:35] <Trini_Ma1> tschaka: Analog TV
[03:35] <ajehuk> ..need to reboot
[03:35] <levon> hey guys how do i get a joystick working
[03:35] <fr0nk> and yes, i migrated from windows ;)
[03:35] <Dragnslcr> Anyone happen to know how I could figure out what each temperature sensor is measuring, e.g. CPU core, motherboard? (Asus M2N-SLI board)
[03:36] <fsbp> tschaka: it's detecting the wifi card and the wireless network, but when i type in the password and submit, nothing happens
[03:36] <agentnewb> u
[03:36] <levon> hmm
[03:36] <tschaka> errr... mmh i aint an expert in wlan since i got a wire net work at home.. just installed wlan on an notebook recently and there was no wpa so i found a guide.
[03:36] <tschaka> fsbp
[03:36] <Dragnslcr> I get two temperatures listed for each core, then temp1, temp2, and temp3. I just want to try to give them meaningful labels
[03:36] <fr0nk> Dragnslcr: try superkaramba, it has monitoring sensors for almost everything
[03:36] <tschaka> cant help u with ur prob soz :/ fsbp
[03:36] <fsbp> kk thanks anyway
[03:36] <tschaka> Trini_Ma1 im using kdetv
[03:36] <tschaka> pretty nice imho.
[03:36] <fsbp> is anyone here good with wlans?
[03:37] <Trini_Ma1> tschaka: it works weel on Gnome ?
[03:37] <Trini_Ma1> *well
[03:37] <fr0nk> fsbp: no, i hate mine ;)
[03:37] <tschaka> sure np im using gnome and it runs without any problems Trini_Ma1
[03:37] <fr0nk> fsbp: what's the problem?
[03:37] <agentnewb> I blacklisted BCM46xx then used ndiswrapper to load bcmwl5.inf now iwconfig reports back for eth1 Access Point: Invalid and eth1 isn't listed under ifconfig
[03:37] <Trini_Ma1> tschaka: thanks
[03:37] <fsbp> kk:
[03:37] <tschaka> Trini_Ma1 np at all :) good luck
[03:37] <fsbp> fr0nk: it's detecting the wifi card and the wireless network, but when i type in the password and submit, nothing happens
[03:38] <agentnewb> oooh I forgot the automagical switch of wifi
[03:38] <gotaku> I just installed a new sound card, now but I don't get any sound... I used to use an integrated sound so maybe the system is still trying to use that?
[03:38] <blue_> hello
[03:38] <fr0nk> what is detecting the wifi card?
[03:38] <fsbp> ubuntu
[03:38] <fsbp> is
[03:38] <fsbp> it knows it's there
[03:38] <agentnewb> gotaku: check your blacklists to enable right drivers
[03:38] <fr0nk> mh i thaught for the program name
[03:38] <agentnewb> gotaku: use live cd to see which drivers are the working ones then set it so
[03:38] <fr0nk> fsbp: try "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" after you entered the password
[03:39] <narker> What's the best virtual machine software in terms of performance ?
[03:39] <Dragnslcr> fr0nk- I already have a GUI app to show the temperatures, I just want to give them meaningful labels, instead of two "Core0 Temp"s, two "Core1 Temp"s, temp1, temp2, and temp3
[03:39] <fr0nk> fsbp: there you should find some hints what fone wrong
[03:39] <fr0nk> Dragnslcr: ah ok sry
[03:39] <blue_> is it possible to use an USB2.0 wifi-stick on a USB1.0 computer?
[03:39] <ajehuk> blue_ should be OK, but it'll be slow
[03:39] <fsbp> fronk: idk if you saw this but: it says it's on 0666 and should be on 0440, what does that mean?
[03:39] <fsbp> (in the sudo
[03:40] <fsbp> )
[03:40] <fr0nk> narker: they are almost the same since they are using either the core2duo hw virtualisation layer or its own meethods to virtualize io
[03:40] <asherZ> hey how do i disable mouse accel completely?
[03:40] <ajehuk> fr0nk : fsbp needs to reset the permissions on his /etc/sudoers file, I have no idea what it should be but I think thats the sollution
[03:40] <fr0nk> narker: on core2duo i couldn't find any(!) speed differences between virtualpc(win), vmware(win) and vmware(linux)
[03:40] <MrKeuner> hi, mp3?
[03:41] <Pelo> !mp3 > MrKeuner  check pm window
[03:41] <fr0nk> fsbp: do you know the root password?
[03:41] <fsbp> pssh yeah
[03:41] <vbabiy> Hey guys where would i start on how to write shell scripts
[03:41] <MrKeuner> Pelo: thanks
[03:41] <narker> fr0nk: I'm using a core duo in my laptop... is a virtual machine software a good solution to run applications like MS Office in Linux?
[03:41] <Pelo> MrKeuner,  no thank you for you brevity
[03:41] <narker> I've tried use those software with Wine and Crossover with no success
[03:41] <fr0nk> type "sudo -s", enter the root password and then "cmod 440 /etc/sudoers
[03:41] <fr0nk> "
[03:41] <gotaku> agentnewb: I think the right drivers are installed, looking at lsmod anyway.
[03:41] <fsbp> dang you're good :D
[03:41] <narker> fr0nk: are those machines fast enough to work with those software's?
[03:42] <ajehuk> fr0nk - mised an h in chmod
[03:42] <ajehuk> *missed
[03:42] <fr0nk> ajehuk: yes, sry :D <- tired
[03:42] <ward_> ajehuk, back, it didnt help
[03:42] <fsbp> ajehuk: ty too
[03:42] <fr0nk> narker: yes, of course
[03:42] <Pelo> narker,  you would hve to install a full os inside the virtual machine
[03:42] <r2d4> I have set up Ubuntu to dual boot with XP. The horizontal monitor settings don't gel well. One ends up slightly off to the screen. While one of my monitors has an auto-adjust setting to correct this the other one does not seem to. Is there a solution for this?
[03:42] <ajehuk> ward_ same symptoms?
[03:42] <ward_> ajehuk, i dunno if it may be important, but if i install ubuntu, the cd boots in 1600x1200 wih the nv driver
[03:42] <knapp_> What channel do I need to be in for help with Ubuntu/Nvidia
[03:42] <narker> yeah I know that Pelo... but I hope it worth more than using Wine or Crossover
[03:43] <SurfnKid> guys im having problems copying files
[03:43] <ward_> ajehuk, yep exactly the same
[03:43] <SurfnKid> there are no duplicates on the folder
[03:43] <fsbp> whats the prob knapp?
[03:43] <Pelo> narker,  I would give some serious thought to using native alternatives
[03:43] <SurfnKid> and it doesnt let me copy a certain file
[03:43] <SurfnKid> what should I do? how do i check the file structure
[03:43] <fr0nk> narker: the performance on a irtual machine on core2duo is on arithmetic operations like +- and so on (which office or photoshop extensively use almost 95%
[03:43] <narker> wow
[03:43] <narker> nice
[03:43] <fr0nk> narker: the only bottleneck could(!) be disk or network io
[03:43] <fsbp> aight bbwl
[03:43] <ajehuk> ward_ hmm
[03:43] <fr0nk> narker: 1gbit lan for example takes about 1ghz of cpu to virtualize
[03:44] <narker> wow
[03:44] <fr0nk> but only if you USE 1gbit
[03:44] <ajehuk> ward_ I assume this is the binary nvidia driver..
[03:44] <Pelo> narker,  it's debatable I tried to run an app I couldnt get an linux version of and I realy didnT' likethe feel , it wasn'T smooth at all,but I am just running a celeron
[03:44] <ward_> yeah offcourse
[03:44] <sgtmattbaker> how do you enable ofx to do online banking? I ran gnucash with --enable-ofx and hbci options and it said that they weren't in the .gnucash/data area
[03:44] <gotaku> Also is setup to use my old integrated sound, how do I set it to use my new card?
[03:44] <mneptok> fr0nk: that's not at all my experience
[03:44] <gotaku> Alsa rather
[03:44] <fr0nk> narker: if you only surf or do a presentation in powerpoint your laptop is kindof oversized
[03:44] <ward_> ajehuk, yeah offcourse, the one ubuntu installs automatically if u want
[03:44] <ward_> ajehuk, the not open one
[03:45] <narker> Pelo: you're talking about using wine/crossover or virtual machine?
[03:45] <Jordan_U> !sound > gotaku
[03:45] <Pelo> sgtmattbaker,  I dn't know if it is the same as in grisbi but I have to dl the ofx file to the desktop and then import it
[03:45] <narker> thank you fr0nk, btw, what are you using? vmware?
[03:45] <thebillywayne> greetings earth_creatures.
[03:45] <fr0nk> mneptok: not? i have a lot of experience in vmware and virtualpc and all the servers i already set up and stress-tested confirmed that
[03:45] <fr0nk> s/virtualpc/virtual server
[03:45] <Pelo> narker,  a virtual machine,   I run wine for a few apps they generaly run well with minor visual problems
[03:45] <mneptok> fr0nk: our 43 VMs run just fine on a Sun Ultra40. it does not have a 43Ghz CPU.
[03:46] <ajehuk> ward_ you tried using the nv driver? the non accellerated free one? just to see if its that? (I dont know how much output you get from X with the closed drivers etc..) if you want to try that I think you change Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nv" in the Device Section...
[03:46] <fr0nk> narker: at the moment virtualpc on my laptop
[03:46] <Pelo> narker,  make that minor gui related problems  but not all of them
[03:46] <Punkunity> http://www.fuckmicrosoft.com/support.shtml
[03:46] <fr0nk> mneptok: erm yes, the 1ghz cpu load is of course only if you ACTUALLY USE 1gbit
[03:46] <SurfnKid> nice website
[03:46] <mneptok> fr0nk: and we do.
[03:46] <SurfnKid> if it only existed
[03:46] <fr0nk> if you have no nw io it uses no cpu
[03:46] <ward_> ajehuk, i'm 100% positive the nv driver works perfectly on my laptop
[03:46] <newuser2> hi
[03:47] <Pelo> sgtmattbaker,  if you only want to do your personnal finance,  I highly recommend grisbi
[03:47] <wimpies> Hi all, I read somewhere that Gtk+ allows changing menu accelerators by hovering the menu and setting a new value.  I tried this but in KDE it does not work.  What might I be doing wrong ?
[03:47] <ajehuk> ward_ --I'm fairly out of ideas, and Ive got to dissappear, I'm getting a bit too tired to think properly - sorry - good luck with it
[03:47] <Pelo> wimpies,  kde does'T use gtk it uses  Qt
[03:47] <Nergar> i need an app or a script to resize multiple images and change the format, anyone know any''
[03:47] <narker> is it a good idea to install the new OS (win xp) for the virtual machine in an external hard drive like my iPod ?
[03:47] <fr0nk> mneptok: try it out and stress-test the vms with nw io. I'm pretty shure about the 1gbit/1ghz
[03:48] <Nergar> ??
[03:48] <fr0nk> narker: NO!
[03:48] <mneptok> fr0nk: i assure you, the network loads here are quite high
[03:48] <narker> ok
[03:48] <chump_> Nergar: why don't you use gimp ?
[03:48] <Nemes> Nergar: do you want to resize all the images at the same time?
[03:48] <Pelo> narker,  I think you might get better answer to those questions in #vmware
[03:49] <Nergar> chump_, need to resize 100+ images
[03:49] <wimpies> pelo : I know but the app I use is a gtk app
[03:49] <chump_> ok
[03:49] <chump_> hehe
[03:49] <mneptok> fr0nk: disk IO is a far bigger VMware bottleneck than network
[03:49] <Nergar> Nemes, yes, and to the same size
[03:49] <Pelo> Nergar,  I think you havwe a lot of work to do
[03:49] <blue_> OMG, my wifi-stick just works!!
[03:49] <newuser2> im new to linux .. when lunch the " add/remove Applications" the dialog freeze why ? , and when i browse the games list .. the whole system freeze :(  can any one help ? im using the latest ubuntu
[03:49] <Nergar> Pelo, theres no script to help me out?
[03:49] <blue_> couldn't do that on fedora in 5 hours :-D
[03:49] <mneptok> Nergar: ImageMagick
[03:49] <Pelo> wimpies, I personnaly have never heard fo the feature you mentionned,  perhaps you can try asking in a gtk channel
[03:50] <blue_> on ubuntu in 5 minutes :-)
[03:50] <Pelo> Nergar,  I wouldn'T think so
[03:50] <steve__> hey
[03:50] <fr0nk> mneptok: that's right but disk io and nw io are the same kinds of "bad" ring 0 calls the virtual layer has to virtualize so the only reason disk io stresses the vm way more is there is heavier disk io
[03:50] <Jordan_U> blue_, :)
[03:50] <steve__> what would the command line be to switch from beryl to metacity?
[03:50] <Pelo> Nergar,  a channel like  #gimp-users might know of one
[03:50] <vbabiy_> hey guy can some please point me in the correct way to start wiring scripts for ubuntu
[03:50] <steve__> i tried metacity --replace
[03:50] <Pelo> steve__,  try asking in #beryl
[03:50] <Jordan_U> steve__, metacity --replace I believe
[03:51] <mneptok> fr0nk: that seems self-evident
[03:51] <steve__> thank ya
[03:51] <b-rad> hello everyone :)  Got a slight issue this evening that I can't seem to find a solution for.  I just rebooted my laptop tonight, and it cannot see my wireless adapter.  lcpci shows it, but it's not configured anymore...  anyone have any ideas?  Thanks :)
[03:51] <fr0nk> mneptok: if you actually used 43x1gbit your disk storages (even with fibrechannel) would show you the middle-finger
[03:51] <Nergar> mneptok, i tried aptitude install imagemagick but no gogo :(
[03:52] <mneptok> fr0nk: that's disk IO. not network.
[03:52] <gesus> hello --> how can i list all of the files/directories in a directory tree? thanks
[03:52] <gesus> actually just the directories
[03:52] <mneptok> gesus: ls -R
[03:52] <fr0nk> yes but everything that comes from the network has to be saved either in ram or disks
[03:52] <newuser2> m new to linux .. when lunch the " add/remove Applications" the dialog freeze why ? , and when i browse the games list .. the whole system freeze :(  can any one help ? im using the latest ubuntu
[03:52] <Pelo> gesus,  in nautilus,  menu > display > side pannel ,  top of the pannel , click the arrow,  treeview
[03:52] <mneptok> gesus: ls -R | grep drwx
[03:53] <marcin_ant_> hi all
[03:53] <Nergar> mneptok, i already have imagemagick but how do i run it??
[03:53] <levon> hey guys im trying to get a game controller working it uses the usb ports
[03:53] <mneptok> Nergar: IM is a library. it is called by other apps or scripts.
[03:53] <Nergar> :(
[03:53] <marcin_ant_> could someone tell me _why_ there is no password for root in mysql-server package?
[03:54] <fr0nk> Nergar: for example you can use imagemagick with the "convert" command
[03:54] <levon> i have te driver for xp this controller is a retractable recoil geame elements
[03:54] <Flannel> marcin_ant_: because Ubuntu doesn't have a root password.  So you have to manually set your mysql root password.  It's easy enough to do.

[03:56] <newuser2> can any one help ??
[03:56] <Nemes> newuser2, just aks
[03:56] <Nemes> *ask
[03:56] <newuser2> i asked
[03:56] <Flannel> marcin_ant_: Because no one's found a need for one yet.  If you're doing mysql administration, you ought to be comfortable enough to setup your root user on mysql.
[03:56] <marcin_ant_> Flannel: and also why one has to use command line instead of for example dpkg-reconfigure?
[03:57] <newuser2> when lunch the " add/remove Applications" the dialog freeze why ? , and when i browse the games list .. the whole system freeze :(  can any one help ? im using the latest ubuntu
[03:57] <Flannel> marcin_ant_: because you're not really using the command line.  You're using mysql's interface
[03:57] <gesus> Flannel, it seems as though it is listing them (i.e. the hd spins faster etc) but ls -aR | grep drwx doesn't return anything?
[03:57] <Pelo> newuser2, random freezes are difficult to diagnose,  don'T hope for a miracle solution
[03:57] <marcin_ant_> Flannel: I don't agree with you
[03:57] <underwatercow> if you install something with a .deb file, is there a way to uninstall it? or do you have to find an uninstall file?
[03:57] <calc> if the whole system freezes it is likely a hardware problem
[03:57] <timewriter> i just installed 7.04
[03:57] <timewriter> amazing
[03:58] <calc> underwatercow: using a package manager yes
[03:58] <Munchkinguy> timewriter: I imagine there's only one way to find out: use the live cd.
[03:58] <marcin_ant_> Flannel: I think that there is a lot of people that are used to mysql + phpmyadmin
[03:58] <newuser2> it allways freeze in the same part
[03:58] <timewriter> Munchkinguy sorry ?
[03:58] <underwatercow> calc: eh?
[03:58] <timewriter> i dont understand that
[03:58] <Pelo> newuser2, turn on the system monitor and see if any process starts to take up all your cpu when you perform those dangerous actions
[03:58] <Flannel> marcin_ant_: well, go ahead and write one
[03:58] <Flannel> gesus: you *need* the l
[03:58] <calc> underwatercow: you can uninstall a deb using a package manager or "dpkg --purge packagename" on the command line
[03:59] <underwatercow> k, thanks
[03:59] <Flannel> gesus: the -a is just for hidden stuffs, but the -l is what gives it the long format (which you can then grep for directories)
[03:59] <xSUSHix> How do I make it so gdm selects a certain session for certain users?   For example I want KDE to be loaded when user 'kde' logs in   and I want XGL to be the session when user 'xgl' logs in
[03:59] <gesus> Flannel, ahh thankyou !!
[03:59] <marcin_ant_> Flannel: and they need search for info how to log into their server and then use terminal to set password
[03:59] <marcin_ant_> Flannel: ok, I will
[03:59] <Pelo> xSUSHix,  check in the forum
[03:59] <mneptok> marcin_ant_: who needs to search?
[03:59] <xSUSHix> Pelo you're always so helpful
[04:00] <timewriter> :)
[04:00] <Pelo> xSUSHix, beleive it or not I actualy am
[04:00] <Flannel> marcin_ant_: well, there's a guide to do it (right there), and plenty of other documentation on it out there.
[04:00] <YNWA> Does anyone here use shortcut keys on their keyboard - like Email, or Web browser, Play/Stop keys?
[04:00] <mneptok> marcin_ant_: any DB admin worth a penny is not scared of the command line.
[04:00] <Flannel> !mediakeys | YNWA
[04:00] <ubotu> YNWA: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (Gnome) or "Input Actions" in KControl (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[04:01] <cilaes> crimsun you in here?
[04:01] <xSUSHix> Pelo : wanna look for it for me ?  I couldn't find anything
[04:01] <newuser2> gnome-app-insta  is taking alot of my cpu and memory ,, and its not working
[04:01] <YNWA> flannel: thanks
[04:01] <xSUSHix> I usually search the web first and come to IRC as a last resort
[04:02] <b-rad> I really don't want to reinstall this again.  Freakin intel wireless just ups and disappears on me... first time it's happened..  and yet, I haven't changed anything
[04:02] <YNWA> flannel: but my computer is a laptop - it has a built in keyboard... would keytouch work still?
[04:02] <Munchkinguy> timewriter: The defaut Ubuntu disc allows you to try it out on your computer before installing. That way, you can see if it works with your hardware.
[04:03] <timewriter> Munchkinguy , the uGuru microprocessor has nothing to do with that
[04:03] <r691175002> hi
[04:03] <timewriter> i already installed ubuntu and it runs flawless
[04:03] <Pelo> b-rad,  then it might just be something minor, review the instalation proceedure,  check with the last few lines, just incase you didnT' make it automatic or something
[04:03] <timewriter> the uGuru is an overclock and monitoring processor from ABit
[04:03] <r691175002> I have a problem
[04:03] <Pelo> r691175002, yes
[04:03] <r691175002> Everything is slightly blurry
[04:04] <r691175002> the fonts, icons, images, even pixel art online
[04:04] <Pelo> r691175002, what kind of monitor ?
[04:04] <Munchkinguy> I see
[04:04] <r691175002> im running at native resolution
[04:04] <r691175002> lcd
[04:04] <channel200> My edgy installation doesn't show Feisty available in update-manager. Any suggestions?
[04:04] <trumpeter2003> How to block packages over a certain version number ...
[04:04] <timewriter> i think suse does support it
[04:04] <timewriter> whatever
[04:04] <Nergar> mneptok, fr0nk, Pelo, chump; conver -resize 640 photos/*.*
[04:04] <timewriter> i can live with that :)
[04:04] <Nergar> thanks y'all for the help
[04:04] <Munchkinguy> I imagine you could do it in your CMOS, anyhow.
[04:05] <Pelo> r691175002, check in menu > system > prefs > fonts ,  and set the hinting to subpixel
[04:05] <r691175002> ok
[04:05] <Pelo> Nergar,  congrats
[04:05] <chump> you are welcome Nergar
[04:05] <Nergar> :)
[04:05] <chump> even though i haven't helped much hehe
[04:05] <r691175002> it made it better, but some of the icons are still a bit blurry
[04:06] <b-rad> Pelo: it's been up for a few months.. been testing :)  I got it, though... had to disable the intel restricted driver, reboot, re-enable, reboot again and I'm back in business
[04:06] <Munchkinguy> Argh. Where's Matthias Klose?
[04:06] <underwatercow> what is with these dependencies? nautilus-sendto depends on gaim?
[04:06] <r691175002> its not just fonts, images are blurred too, http://www.fabrica.it/blog/uploads/EBOY-sm.jpg doesnt look like it should
[04:06] <vbabiy> Hey guys can some point me in the right direction to learn to write scripts for Ubuntu
[04:06] <Aliyahh> www.fxtrademaker.com WOW ..!!!
[04:06] <underwatercow> you uninstall gaim and you lose ubuntu-desktop and nautilus-sendto
[04:06] <Aliyahh> www.fxtrademaker.com WOW ..!!!
[04:07] <gesus> Flannel, the command "ls -d /media/drive3/*" seems to be more like what i want, but how could i make that command also list subdirectories (I don't need any other info like date created or whatever) thanks again.

[04:08] <Django84> or changing the order of the partitions
[04:08] <Pelo> r691175002, I would suggest you try looking into xorg.conf to adjust your screen specs possilby,  or try looking up your monitor model in the forum for a possibly fix
[04:08] <Aliyahh> Ubuntu www.fxtrademaker.com WOW ..!!!
[04:08] <r691175002> how do you open xorg.conf?

[04:10] <Pelo> r691175002,  ahh
[04:11] <underwatercow> I think it's pretty lame that removing gaim removes the ubuntu-desktop and nautilus-sendto... does this make sense to anyone else?

[04:12] <gesus> Hi, I am trying to just list the names of directories and subdirectories on one of my drives, the command "ls -d /media/drive3/*" seems to be close to what i want, but how could i make that command also list subdirectories (I don't need any other info like date created or whatever) thanks everyone on this channel for always being so helpful, i love you :).
[04:12] <timewriter> try /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:12] <Pelo> r691175002,  I donT' knwo I dont, have to use that feature,  if your hardware requires a restricted driver it installs it , if not you have to do it manualy
[04:12] <Flannel> gesus: add -R
[04:12] <r691175002> ok
[04:13] <timewriter> if it doesnt start u may have some problems with X

[04:15] <Pelo> SpeakerMania,  I( think you have the same modem as me ( but i only use the fax)
[04:16] <wastrel> i thought USR's were hardware modems
[04:16] <marcin_ant_> mneptok: it's not about a command line it'a about lack of information, imho pkg should just ask for root password and that's all
[04:16] <Pelo> SpeakerMania, check in the device manager first ,  look for you modem,  find the /dev/ttys?   address
[04:16] <marcin_ant_> mneptok: I just wonder if is there any particular reason why it doesn't
[04:16] <telejedi> underwatercow: coolest irc-client :-)

[04:29] <crdlb> that doesn't provide any security anyway
[04:29] <wastrel> sgtmattbaker:  looks like the configure failed(?)  "exit 0" is usually success.  if configure didn't complete ,makefiles weren't created, so no make.

[04:30] <Vlada77> Im have problem to install qmail -> ubuntu lst
[04:30] <Django84> ok i reinstalled xp

[04:31] <Django84> i used this and it worked, restored grub
[04:31] <Pelo> !grub > Django84  I think you'll need to reinstall grub , chck your pm window for instruicons
[04:31] <Flannel> Pelo: he just reinstalled grub

[04:33] <wastrel> what's ez_setup.py
[04:33] <drif> anyone with a cure - I using putty & ubuntu and getting garbled characters when typing   or similar character
[04:33] <Flannel> drif: Make sure it set PuTTy to use utf-8
[04:33] <drif> locally no probs
[04:33] <mneptok> drif: tell puTTY to use UTF-8
[04:34] <Django84> so I think something is making it go to an old menu.lst. Or something is modifyng order of menu.lst partitions

[04:36] <lecaros> i'm looking for some help to install *buntu in a PowerPc, Performa 6200cd, any experience?
[04:36] <Nemes> a5benwillis, ez_setup.py is a python file. I think that you need to run "python ez_setup.py" in order to run it.
[04:36] <Flannel> bieb: doing fine. yourself?
[04:37] <bieb> not bad at all
[04:37] <bieb> Any good projects going on?
[04:37] <sgtmattbaker> linux
[04:37] <Pelo> lecaros, it should be easy enough, it's a live cd , you just need an unallocated partion on a drive,  or did you hve a specific issue ?
[04:37] <BlackDalek> What is the key combination to exit from GParted when I have no mouse connected?
[04:37] <Parmenion> guys, has anyone experienced terminal errors moving from ubuntu-desktop to xubuntu-desktop?

[04:39] <PinkFloyd> I know there's more than that

[04:40] <Nemes> a5benwillis, do you have the python interpreter installed?
[04:40] <telejedi> PinkFloyd: 24 is the answer!
[04:40] <timewriter> how do i install GTK engine ?
[04:40] <BlackDalek> Ok... I asked the wrong question - GParted is already exited - what I meant was how do I exit the Gnome Partition Editor GUI shell and reboot the computer? ( the computer was booted from the GParted CD)
[04:40] <Pelo> Django84,  the ppl in this channel are all voluntieer users who share their time and knowledge to thelp other users,   we donT, knwo everything , we can only help you if we have knowldege of your problem
[04:40] <wastrel> timewriter:  apt-cache search gtk-engines
[04:40] <wastrel> timewriter:  if the one you want is listed, just install normally
[04:41] <BlackDalek> Ok... I asked the wrong question - GParted is already exited - what I meant was how do I exit the Gnome Partition Editor GUI shell and reboot the computer? ( the computer was booted from the GParted CD) ... keeping in mind I have no mouse connected, so am looking for the key combination to do this
[04:41] <jbernhardt> BlackDalek: Just use the Ubuntu cd to boot up the Ubuntu Live OS from CD and use gparted from there
[04:41] <lecaros> pelo, i need first to backup some information
[04:41] <Pelo> BlackDalek,  sudo reboot
[04:41] <Django84> ok, im so novice and i taught that this was a common problem Ubuntu
[04:41] <lecaros> BTOH that computer has not NIC
[04:42] <Pelo> lecaros,  I suggest you use the os already isntalled to do that,   and run a defrag if you have to
[04:42] <bieb> PinkFloyd. du will give you a list of the directories and their size, df -h will tell you what size each volume and how much is used
[04:42] <timewriter> thanks
[04:42] <lecaros> yeah, but hasn't cd recorder
[04:42] <PinkFloyd> ah ok
[04:42] <PinkFloyd> thanks
[04:42] <lecaros> pelo yeah, but hasn't cd recorder
[04:42] <timewriter> i want to install Aurora Gtk Engine
[04:42] <Pelo> Django84, ok I have a solution to your problem
[04:42] <Pelo> lecaros,  hold on
[04:43] <alex_mayorga> crdlb, do you know how do I enable the wlan interface, it says disabled in lshw
[04:43] <timewriter> there are many engines listen
[04:43] <timewriter> listed*
[04:43] <timewriter> which one should i use
[04:43] <Pelo> Django84,  the change you made using the grub menu editor is temporary, you need to make it permanent by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:43] <BlackDalek> jbernhardt, Pelo - the problem is I am alread booted into the Gparted CD, and I'm trying to get out of it without a mouse. I can't click on the shutdown Icon or workout how to highlight it... or anything else on the screen. Do I have no choice but to switch off the power to the computer or press the reset switch?
[04:44] <crdlb> alex_mayorga: I don't have a clue; as I said, I am unfamiliar with the chipset, sorry
[04:44] <jbernhardt> BlackDalek: sudo shutdown -r
[04:44] <wastrel> timewriter:  it appears that ubuntu doesn't provide a package for the aurora engine
[04:44] <Pelo> BlackDalek,  this is the live cd ?  just turn off the computer
[04:44] <timewriter> i found it on gdm-look.org
[04:44] <alex_mayorga> anyone using acx11 wireles in feisty??
[04:44] <Pelo> lecaros, ok lets see how many hdd doyou have on this computer ?
[04:44] <wastrel> timewriter:  you'll probably have to download the aurora engine and compile it yourself
[04:44] <BlackDalek> jbernhardt I have no terminal
[04:45] <timewriter> i see
[04:45] <telejedi> BlackDalek: sudo shutdown -h now
[04:45] <jbernhardt> BlackDalek: to pull up a terminal press ctr+alt+f1
[04:45] <Pelo> BlackDalek,  this is the live cd ?  just turn off the computer
[04:45] <jbernhardt> t switch?
[04:45] <lecaros> pelo 1gb app
[04:45] <timewriter> indeed
[04:45] <Django84> Pelo, I already edited menu.lst from a live cd and it worked fine entering Ubuntu a few times, but then something changes partitions order inside menu.lst and i get for result error 17
[04:45] <jbernhardt> 22:45 < Pelo> BlackDalek,  this is the live cd ?  just turn off the computer
[04:45] <jbernhardt> 22:45 < jbernhardt> t switch?
[04:45] <alex_mayorga> the linksys WPC54G v2 in particular
[04:46] <crdlb> BlackDalek: if ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work, try the magic sysrq button
[04:46] <timewriter> configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora
[04:46] <Django84> im thinking in doing a booteable GRUB diskette
[04:46] <gilda> error 17 from grub is usually a bad declaration of fs type in the fstab / menu.lst
[04:46] <lecaros> pelo but it hasn't cd recorder, nor eth card
[04:46] <Django84> perhaps that will work as a temporary patch
[04:46] <Pelo> Django84, ok,  you need to figure out the partitons again  (hd0,0) where hdA,B A is the hdd, B is the partions,   the numbering starts with 0 for the first

[04:47] <BlackDalek> pelo ok, I can find no way to get a terminal from this gparted live cd.. none of the suggested key combinations do anything. turning off the computer must be the only way out.

[04:49] <Pelo> lecaros,  and you do not have anyway of backup your data ?  no usb thumb drive ? nothing ?
[04:49] <jbernhardt> Zwei: what is the problem
[04:49] <crdlb> matthew1429: flash9 is available for linux
[04:49] <matthew1429> This product requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 with Microsoft Media Player 10 and Macromedia Flash 6 or higher versions, or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 with Macromedia Flash 8, or Safari 2.0.4 with Macromedia Flash 8. To download these free software applications, click the links below and follow the on-screen instructions.
[04:49] <matthew1429> whoops
[04:49] <jbernhardt> crdlb: the browser could require IE
[04:49] <matthew1429> that should have been pastebinned
[04:49] <wastrel> timewriter:  up to you :]
[04:49] <matthew1429> sorry
[04:49] <timewriter> :)
[04:49] <lecaros> pelo nothing, there isn't usb
[04:49] <crdlb> that's what useragent spoofing is for
[04:49] <eg_linux> from where ubuntu is come ??
[04:49] <eg_linux> from France?
[04:49] <dfischer> Pelo: its not the fan it overheats
[04:49] <matthew1429> actually... I have a better version
[04:49] <Pelo> lecaros,   how many partions on this hdd at the moment ?
[04:50] <lecaros> pelo computer has only a modem plug
[04:50] <matthew1429> 1.5...
[04:50] <PloneDude> eg_linux: south africa
[04:50] <lecaros> pelo only 1
[04:50] <Zwei> Well, right now, I'm running Ubuntu off the DVD.  I've been trying to install it, but I understand I have to partition my hard drive to do so.  When I partition during the installation, it gives me an error saying that the partition failed.
[04:50] <matthew1429> according to that message I should be able to pass their compatibility test
[04:50] <crdlb> matthew1429: do you have flash9 installed?
[04:50] <lecaros> _rodrigovb_ que otro puerto tiene el pc? serial algo?
[04:50] <PloneDude> hi guys...how to change an application running on the foreground to switch to the background
[04:50] <Pelo> dfischer,  there is also a section for cpufreq
[04:50] <_RodrigoVB_> lecaros, wait
[04:50] <matthew1429> <---- still wet behind ears
[04:50] <jbernhardt> Zwei: try using GParted under system -> administration -> gparted on the live cd
[04:51] <matthew1429> crdlb: I'm using feisty
[04:51] <jbernhardt> Zwei: then resize your partition to free some space for ubuntu
[04:51] <matthew1429> with medibuntu
[04:51] <dfischer> Pelo cpufeq is working, but it heat anyway
[04:51] <matthew1429> I presume it's update
[04:51] <jbernhardt> Zwei: or just try defragging
[04:51] <Pelo> lecaros,  ok so the only solution you have atm is to resize your original partition,  create a new one,  move your data to the new partition
[04:51] <eg_linux> PloneDude: what ?
[04:51] <crdlb> matthew1429: about:plugins
[04:51] <crdlb> type that in the browser
[04:51] <Zwei> Okay.  I'll try that now.
[04:51] <eg_linux> PloneDude:  r u sure?
[04:51] <lecaros> pelo, do you know some tool to do that in a mac?
[04:51] <Pelo> dfischer,  check the forum for overheat,  it's the best suggestion I have,  I dont, have a laptop myself
[04:51] <timewriter> ok its in
[04:51] <_RodrigoVB_> lecaros, serial si
[04:52] <lecaros> ok
[04:52] <Pelo> lecaros,  gparted in the live cd should be able to do it but resizing a partition is always risky which is why we tell ppl to backup first
[04:52] <matthew1429> :/ i have flash 9 and a windows media player 10 compatible player for totem
[04:52] <Zwei> I don't see gparted.  Do you mean Gnome Partition Editor?
[04:52] <matthew1429> I meet all of the requirements but it won't let me watch videos
[04:52] <jbernhardt> Zwei: yes
[04:52] <lecaros> pelo ppl?
[04:52] <matthew1429> blasted msnbc
[04:52] <jbernhardt> Zwei: make sure you have important stuff backed up first

[05:06] <Chetwin> Hey all.  I uninstalled mplayer and the plugin and installed totem-xine, but firefox is still trying to use mplayer.  What do I do?
[05:06] <crdlb> blastermaster: penguintv is nice
[05:06] <sethk> sgtmattbaker, that's a nasty error.  did you do a partial build in this directory before, or is this a fresh build?
[05:06] <blastermaster> I'll check it out is it on the repos?
[05:06] <crdlb> Chetwin: install totem-mozilla

[05:07] <ubotu> blastermaster: penguintv: podcasts and video blogs for Linux. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.80-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 222 kB, installed size 1396 kB
[05:07] <patbam> hi, feisty isn't seeing my external usb drives. any tips on where to start trying to figure out why?
[05:07] <Chetwin> No such package
[05:07] <blastermaster> ok thanks guys will install now
[05:07] <crdlb> blastermaster: I would suggest trying the updated version at penguintv.sf.net if that doesn't work well
[05:07] <crdlb> there are feisty debs
[05:07] <sgtmattbaker> sethk: clean.. I followed everything on that wiki
[05:07] <joselj> how can i change the ring password in network manager in feisty?
[05:07] <blastermaster> ok thnx
[05:07] <WesLappy> does /etc/network/interfaces drive a script?
[05:07] <Chetwin> crdlb: Can't find that package
[05:08] <sethk> sgtmattbaker, that's simply an error in the source.  Is it released, or a beta release?
[05:08] <Nergar> is there another archive manager for gnome?? (hate k apps)

[05:08] <crdlb> Nergar: you don't like file-roller?
[05:08] <IceGuest_7> how do i config the gdm for a radeon
[05:08] <timewriter> solaris is a mac wannabe ?
[05:08] <sgtmattbaker> released.. that version is 2.0.2, the latest one is 2.1.2 or something
[05:08] <timewriter> or viceversa
[05:08] <Chetwin> I'm using 6.06
[05:08] <sethk> timewriter, solaris is 20 years older than mac
[05:09] <sethk> sgtmattbaker, use the newest released version
[05:09] <LaNCeloT_RW> how do I start ubuntu without going direct to Xserver mode login? need to check some fails over here
[05:09] <timewriter> then , mac is a solaris wannabe
[05:09] <Nergar> crdlb, no, drag and drop doesn't work quite well
[05:09] <crdlb> Nergar: you could use squeeze or xarchiver from xfce
[05:09] <timewriter> im looking at the original solaris background images
[05:09] <crdlb> those are gtk+
[05:09] <Braddf0rd_> Can someone tell me how to change the Max Screen resolution to something over 1024x768? I have a wide screen so this is no good for me.
[05:09] <timewriter> they are mac alike
[05:09] <crdlb> Braddf0rd_: video card?
[05:09] <sethk> timewriter, well, not precisely.  the mac is built on BSD UNIX.  solaris is built on system V UNIX which is a generation later than BSD
[05:09] <timewriter> hm
[05:09] <timewriter> im lost :)
[05:10] <Xenguy> LaNCeloT_RW: you could apt-get 'rcconf', then configure gdm not to start at boot
[05:10] <timewriter> well , the platform doesnt matter in this issue
[05:10] <Braddf0rd_> crdlb, No, Intel Integrated 940
[05:10] <LaNCeloT_RW> Xenguy, ok, I 'll try this
[05:10] <crdlb> Braddf0rd_: that's a video card :),  use 915resolution
[05:10] <sethk> timewriter, I was going to say, the antecedents don't necessarily matter to you.
[05:10] <sgtmattbaker> sethk: but I don't know if it will work when compiling it with aqbanking.  that wiki seemed pretty clear.. :-/
[05:10] <crdlb> !info 915resolution | Braddf0rd_
[05:10] <timewriter> indeed
[05:10] <ubotu> braddf0rd_: 915resolution: resolution modification tool for Intel graphic chipset. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.2-10ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 14 kB, installed size 124 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64)
[05:10] <Nergar> crdlb, where do i get squeeze?
[05:10] <timewriter> they say solaris is the most advanced os on the planet
[05:10] <eck> sethk: solaris is a BSD derivative...
[05:10] <timewriter> is that tru ?
[05:10] <sethk> sgtmattbaker, the wiki is clear, but the code is broken.
[05:10] <timewriter> true*
[05:10] <sethk> eck, no
[05:10] <patbam> when i attach a usb external harddrive, it shows up as /media/SEAGATE, but the dir is empty
[05:10] <crdlb> Nergar: check out squeeze.xfce.org
[05:10] <sethk> eck, solaris is system V
[05:11] <sethk> eck, there was an earlier version of solaris that was bsd
[05:11] <Nergar> crdlb, kk
[05:11] <sethk> eck, but that's ancient history, solaris v4.  solaris v5 and newer is system V
[05:11] <sethk> eck, and solaris v5 goes back to the early 90's.
[05:11] <eck> sethk: ah, i see
[05:11] <timewriter> anyway , this nimbus theme looks great
[05:12] <timewriter> is the official solaris theme
[05:12] <sethk> eck, I like system V.   Ubuntu uses the system V methodology for init and stuff in the /etc directory
[05:12] <sgtmattbaker> sethk: but how do I follow the wiki with a new version.. there is no ./configure in there.. there is some weird dpkg-build bs ------- and a bunch of other stuff
[05:12] <Braddf0rd_> Ubotu, do I "sudo apt-get install 915resolution"?
[05:12] <SexyBoBo> what ftp server you guys recomend?
[05:12] <sethk> sgtmattbaker, if it's a CVS version, then there is a step before the ./configure step.
[05:12] <timewriter> Braddf0rd for ati ?
[05:12] <Xenguy> SexyBoBo: vsftpd
[05:12] <crdlb> Braddf0rd_: ubotu is a bot, but yes
[05:12] <sgtmattbaker> proftpd
[05:13] <sethk> sgtmattbaker, but that's usually only true if you pull via CVS
[05:13] <FearMoth> Hi, how can I configure my Intel 3945ABG wireless to use WPA TKIP/PSK ?
[05:13] <Xenguy> SexyBoBo: lean, secure
[05:13] <Braddf0rd_> crdlb, K, I'm a nub,  thanks
[05:13] <WesLappy> Anyone have a few minutes to help me get my wireless networking up and running? I have ralink2571 chip (rt73 driver from serialmonkey)
[05:13] <eck> sethk: i'm looking at the solaris wikipedia page right now. it's nice they released a version called sun os and solaris, and then retroactively named one of the bsd releases solaris 1
[05:13] <sgtmattbaker> sethk: I don't know if it is, I cant tell from the wiki
[05:13] <timewriter> guys , this ubuntuguide.org , is maintained by the community ?
[05:13] <SexyBoBo> any other opinions?
[05:13] <crdlb> timewriter: yes, it's completely unofficial
[05:14] <sethk> eck, yes, that's true.  It was originally called sun OS, before it became solaris 4.  I'd forgotten that.
[05:14] <timewriter> :)
[05:14] <crdlb> timewriter: I prefer wiki.ubuntu.com strongly over it though
[05:14] <Xenguy> SexyBoBo: avoid wuftpd
[05:14] <timewriter> ok
[05:14] <timewriter> i never knew about that website
[05:14] <timewriter> bookmarking
[05:14] <sethk> crdlb, wuftpd is fine as long as you don't mind having your machine open to invasion by the universe.
[05:14] <matthew1429> i click on firefox and it says "starting firefox" and then disappears unless I click on the tab, then it will actually start firefox.  isn't that weird?
[05:14] <SexyBoBo> will do i was planing on vsftpd (easy to install) just wondering if there is any better
[05:14] <Xenguy> sethk: heh
[05:14] <SexyBoBo> ty for your help
[05:14] <timewriter> ubuntu runs great with 2gb of ram :)
[05:15] <Xenguy> np
[05:15] <sethk> timewriter, even vista runs great with 2 gb of ram  :)
[05:15] <timewriter> indeed
[05:15] <timewriter> :))
[05:15] <timewriter> well , i had just 1gb , but i bought Gothic 3
[05:15] <walkintome> hi all! I keep getting a segmentation fault while running evolution, gnome-system-monitor, and a few other apps. I dont know what is causing this behavior, but would really like to fix it.
[05:15] <Chetwi1> I can't find the extra repos list
[05:15] <timewriter> next morning i was at the store
[05:15] <Begin9Now> hello there, I have installed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on a Dell 260 with nVidia GeForce 2 MX, the screen is an Viewsonic 19" 16:9 ratio wide screen that can do 1440x900 at 60hz and nothing I did makes Ubuntu give that screen resolution. It defaults to 1280x1024. I installed the nVidia driver from Universe, tried to modify the xorg.conf but no success in the end. Has anyone been able to do the wide format in 1440x900 on Ubuntu 6.06 and up???
[05:15] <timewriter> for another 1Gb
[05:15] <timewriter> that game is insane
[05:16] <sgtmattbaker> sethk: what should I do?  I need* to get gnucash working with OFX online banking compatibility
[05:16] <sethk> Begin9Now, I have, although not on that exact nvidia card.  try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  when you get to the monitor section, select "medium" difficulty level.  You'll then be presented with all the resolutions/freqs that the installer thinks the card/monitor can handle.
[05:17] <crdlb> Begin9Now: did you try using nvidia-settings?
[05:17] <sethk> sgtmattbaker, all your choices are somewhat nasty.  We could try to see what's wrong with configure, but that can be a lengthy process.
[05:17] <crdlb> Begin9Now: you should have used nvidia-glx, not -legacy
[05:17] <sethk> sgtmattbaker, did you google, see if other people are seeing this problem, possibly have a fix?
[05:17] <crdlb> if you used legacy, that could be the problem
[05:17] <Begin9Now> yep, there is not much you can change, did use the legacy 96...driver
[05:17] <timewriter> i wonder why the music producers are using mac and not solaris
[05:17] <patbam> was there some change in policy on permissions on mounting external usb devices since dapper
[05:18] <timewriter> or the movie producers
[05:18] <patbam> cuz the drive i had worked then
[05:18] <sgtmattbaker> anyone gonna see Spiderman 3
[05:18] <crdlb> Begin9Now: yes the 96xx is correct
[05:18] <crdlb> Begin9Now: try using nvidia-settings
[05:18] <Xenguy> sgtmattbaker: definitely
[05:18] <sgtmattbaker> it looks awesome
[05:18] <Xenguy> sgtmattbaker: I enjoyed the other 2...
[05:18] <Xenguy> sgtmattbaker: I'm a sucker for comics most of the time :-)
[05:19] <sgtmattbaker> I would go see it tonight but I dont wanna see it before I go w/ my friend Sat
[05:19] <timewriter> anyone knows if i can install fglrx control panel ?
[05:19] <Ghiddo> okay
[05:19] <sethk> timewriter, there's a prevailing thought that mac is the thing to use for music.  It isn't true, IMO, but it's a widespread belief.
[05:19] <crdlb> !info fglrx-control
[05:19] <ubotu> fglrx-control: Control panel for the ATI graphics accelerators. In component restricted, is optional. Version 8.34.8+<IP_ADDRESS>-15.20 (feisty), package size 75 kB, installed size 344 kB
[05:19] <crdlb> timewriter: ^^
[05:19] <timewriter> yep
[05:19] <Ghiddo> I apparently screwed something up while upgrading to Feisty
[05:19] <timewriter> ive seen it on apt-cache search
[05:19] <Begin9Now> which settings are you saying can be changed?
[05:19] <crdlb> timewriter: are you using fglrx?
[05:19] <timewriter> im a little mentally lagged
[05:19] <timewriter> crdlb yes
[05:19] <Ghiddo> can I step back in the recovery console
[05:19] <crdlb> then why not?
[05:19] <timewriter> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV530 [Radeon X1600]
[05:20] <matthew1429> i click on firefox and it says "starting firefox" and then disappears unless I click on the tab, then it will actually start firefox.  isn't that weird?\
[05:20] <slim> where would i go for software specific help (obtained from a repository)??
[05:20] <sethk> matthew1429, yes, it's weird.  officially weird.  :)
[05:20] <sethk> slim, depends on what software
[05:20] <sgtmattbaker> sethk: I guess I could do it by source and then do the other things that the wiki says
[05:20] <slim> azeurus
[05:20] <timewriter> crdlb u think i should install xorg-driver-fglrx ?
[05:20] <sethk> sgtmattbaker, worth a try.
[05:21] <crdlb> timewriter: use the restricted manager
[05:21] <IowaDave> slim: which software?
[05:21] <awpti> damn, i still can't get prboom working right.
[05:21] <jshriver> Anyone know how to use mencoder to create .rm files? I did it a year or so ago but forget the mencoder arguments to export to .rm
[05:21] <jshriver> or ffmpeg
[05:21] <awpti> locks up any time i hit the fire button :(
[05:21] <crdlb> timewriter: that is your only option for 3d acceleration
[05:21] <timewriter> enable the accelerator ?
[05:21] <slim> software named "Azeurus"
[05:21] <matthew1429> jshriver: I typed that in my reference
[05:21] <matthew1429> lemme see
[05:21] <timewriter> slim azureus is dodgy
[05:21] <crdlb> timewriter: if you need 3d support you need to enable the restricted driver in the restricted manager
[05:21] <crdlb> which is fglrx
[05:21] <timewriter> i did
[05:21] <timewriter> it asks for reboot
[05:21] <crdlb> timewriter: then reboot
[05:22] <timewriter> now u got to let me knooow
[05:22] <timewriter> should i stay or should i gooo
[05:22] <jshriver> matthew1429: I checked the mencoder docs.. didnt see anything and been googling for a while.. tons of page on how to convert .rm to divx or any other format, but not from x format to .rm
[05:22] <levon> hello i have a question how do you kill a process i use to press ctrl + alt  + esc to brink up a skull then click
[05:22] <jshriver> trying to convert some home videos in MOV to rm for use on the web
[05:22] <slim> it was the best program on windows but using a microsoft product is no longer an option! so im pretty screwed then???
[05:22] <matthew1429> jshriver: i know your pain
[05:22] <matthew1429> i ended up finding a good google page
[05:22] <matthew1429> but bear with me
[05:22] <crdlb> jshriver: why real?
[05:22] <matthew1429> I pasted the command to a text file
[05:22] <phy3> slim, /join #azureus    maybe?
[05:23] <slim> is that a channel?
[05:23] <jshriver> small and quality isnt an issue... this is a 114meg MOV file, figured in RM it would only be about 5-10 megs
[05:23] <Flannel> !azureus | slim
[05:23] <ubotu> slim: azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[05:23] <phy3> yes
[05:23] <jshriver> 8minute clip
[05:23] <awpti> Hrm..
[05:23] <crdlb> jshriver: there are many other formats much better than real
[05:23] <eck> levon: the skull program is xkill, just create a keyboard shortcut for it
[05:23] <jshriver> dont know of any other format that a windows user could use that is that small
[05:23] <crdlb> jshriver: just use mpeg4
[05:23] <levon> aww okay
[05:23] <crdlb> at a low bitrate
[05:23] <jshriver> hrm...
[05:23] <slim> im not having a problem installing (ive been using the software for months)
[05:24] <crdlb> ie xvid
[05:24] <jshriver> but can it be used in Windows Media player? basically my mom only has access to the web where she works, and I know if I encode to rm she can view it on the webpage.
[05:24] <levon> thank you
[05:24] <mrkrfdaf> if a usb drive that is formated with ext3 gets moved to another machine or new version of ubuntu will there be permision issues?
[05:24] <abg> i was trying to make my terminal transparent, but not to the desktop background image, to windows directly behind it. can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction for how to set that up?
[05:24] <Flannel> slim: ah.  Well, it ought to be fairly similar regardless of windows vs *nix.
[05:24] <jshriver> mrkrfdaf: nope, but could be funky since it will have a different name associated with the number
[05:25] <eck> mrkrfdaf: it depends if the UIDs match
[05:25] <levon> need it to get wine to run nsfu woot thanks so much
[05:25] <crdlb> jshriver: mencoder cannot encode real or wmv afaik
[05:25] <slim> it just stopped working???? ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling
[05:25] <crdlb> mpeg4 (in some form) is your best bet
[05:25] <timewriter> oioi
[05:25] <jshriver> Il try converting to avi mpeg4 then, and cross my fingers :) thanks
[05:25] <Hamm_laptop> i still can't boot into linux
[05:25] <catid> just reformatted a usb harddrive and now it's owned by root and my normal user account cannot edit it..  how do i fix this?
[05:25] <Hamm_laptop> damn
[05:25] <timewriter> i have a better resolution now
[05:25] <mrkrfdaf> so how do i disable all permisions on the drive
[05:25] <sethk> catid, which file system?
[05:25] <slim> the least of my worries is that it was 92%done with a 4gb file
[05:25] <mrkrfdaf> or set the allow for everyone?
[05:26] <jshriver> btw have another question... I accidently ran grub-install /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda now I cant dual boot back into windows
[05:26] <IowaDave> slim: I see online that some networks are clamping down on p2p traffic. could be your net?
[05:26] <jshriver> any suggestions?
[05:26] <catid> sethk: reiser4, compression plugin
[05:26] <crdlb> abg: you need a composite manager
[05:26] <eck> mrkrfdaf: add the drive to the new system and use a find command to fix the permissions once you know what they should be
[05:26] <sgtmattbaker> sethk: I don't think this is gonna work.. that 2.0.5 source doesn't have a debian/rules file toe dit
[05:26] <crdlb> abg: compiz, beryl, xfwm4, xcompmgr
[05:26] <theconartist> azureus is crashing instantly after i start it, is this a common/known etch bug?
[05:26] <slim> its the program it loads into the main window and then just closes itself
[05:26] <jshriver> beryl is beautiful but buggy
[05:26] <sethk> catid, you can use chown -R on the root directory to change the ownership of all the files.  Or you can do    chmod -R a+rw    on the root directory to change all files to read/write for all.
[05:26] <slim> exactly conartist
[05:27] <mrkrfdaf> but it shouldnt make my unaccesable?
[05:27] <sethk> catid, you can of course also change it to read/write for group.
[05:27] <catid> sethk: yes.. will that persist between mounts?
[05:27] <IowaDave> slim: might check to see whether the download site supports rsync. if the dl halts, rsync can sometimes pick up where it left off.
[05:27] <sethk> catid, yes
[05:27] <catid> sethk: sweet, thanks
[05:27] <crdlb> abg: if a composite manager is running when gnome-terminal starts, it will use real transparency
[05:27] <slim> except ive been using it all day and then rebooted my comp and that was it...
[05:27] <sethk> catid, on file systems with real permissions, things persist.  It's only faked out permissions (like on VFAT) that go away.
[05:28] <slim> the program worked fine 60 mins ago
[05:28] <abg> crdllb: and any one of those would do that for me?
[05:28] <timewriter> crdlb i get that warning now
[05:28] <Clinton__> !flash

[05:28] <slim> and for thwe last week straight actually
[05:28] <timewriter> with the restricted drivers in use
[05:28] <timewriter> how du i get rif of it
[05:28] <timewriter> do*
[05:29] <crdlb> abg: any one of those composite managers would work, beryl/compiz is preferable though since they're 3d compositors
[05:29] <slim> do all BitTorrent clients work like 'azeurus'
[05:29] <Hamm_laptop> anyone know the command to reconfigure xorg.conf
[05:29] <Hamm_laptop> to default
[05:29] <eck> slim: how do you mean?
[05:29] <Hamm_laptop> unistalling fglrx did not fix my problem :/
[05:29] <sgtmattbaker> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:29] <abg> crdlb: alright, great. thank you very much
[05:30] <crdlb> Hamm_laptop: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[05:30] <slim> thats the only BitTorrent program ive ever used (and the best p2p) i always used limewire or kazaa so i just search in the program itself rather than on tthe net
[05:30] <crdlb> Hamm_laptop: use the -phigh or you will be bombarded with questions
[05:30] <Flannel> !frostwire | slim
[05:30] <ubotu> slim: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[05:30] <slim> is it bittorrent??
[05:30] <eck> slim: in that sense all the other bit torrent programs are like azureus
[05:32] <theconartist> so nobody knows about the azureus problem?
[05:32] <slim> because i have a reliable torrent resourse but i just need something to d/l the whole program after i have the torrent
[05:32] <Xenguy> theconartist: but you're a con artist, I'm not going to believe that =)
